Each morning, when Laura Rahn's class of fourth grade students entered their classroom at Mountainview Elementary School in Loudoun County, VA, they got their laptops from the charging station, completed their daily math fluency practice, and checked EdModo for the day's instructions. The laptops "didn't replace me or become the full instruction for the day," says Rahn, "they were an additional learning tool."
If your school has yet to implement a laptop program like Rahn's, it may be on the horizon. More and more classrooms are going one-to-one, says Bob Berry, vice president of business development with Troxell Communications, as districts invest in web-based learning platforms and devices.
"Education is going through a huge transformation," agrees Verna Lalbeharie, Digital Learning Collaboration Co-lead with The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, "with this huge move towards personalized learning." One-on-one teaching happens at the intersection of content, pedagogy, and technology, says Lalbeharie. You're planning what and how students will learn, and how you'll use the technology to help them get there. This year, whether you're just opening your first shipment of tablets or setting up laptops for the tenth time, here are 10 ways to maximize your one-to-one classroom.
Ultimately, one-to-one classrooms provide the opportunity to expand your reach as a teacher. "The device gives you the ability to do something different," says Keeler, "and reach kids you couldn't reach before."

Chokwe people
|Total population
|(1.16 million)
|Regions with significant populations
|Angola, Congo DR, Zambia
|Chokwe, many also speak French, Portuguese or English
|Christian, Animist
|Related ethnic groups
|Luba, Lunda, Lwena, Ovimbundu, Songo
The Chokwe (also spelled Tchokwe) are an ethnic group of Central Africa whose ancestry can perhaps be traced to Mbundu and Mbuti Pygmies. Large groups of Chokwe currently reside in Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo and lately in Namibia. Their language is usually referred to as Chokwe, a Bantu language. Many also speak the official languages of their countries: English in Zambia, French in Democratic Republic of Congo, and Portuguese (as first or second language) in Angola.
The Chokwe were once one of the twelve clans of the great Lunda Empire of 17th- and 18th-century Angola. They eventually became independent when they refused to continue paying tribute to the Lunda emperor. Their successful trading and abundant resources caused them to be one of the wealthiest groups in Angola. By 1900 the Chokwe had dismantled the Lunda kingdom altogether, using guns they had received in trade from the Ovimbundu. Chokwe language and influence then began to dominate northeastern Angola and spread among the Lunda peoples.
The Portuguese had virtually no contact with the Chokwe until the 1930s when the Chokwe traded wax, rubber and ivory. The Portuguese then quickly brought an end to the dominance of the Chokwe people in the region.
War with Mbunda[edit]
As a prince, Mwene Mbandu Kapova I of Mbunda played a significant role in the battle between the Chokwe and the Mbunda.

We recently received an email from a concerned reader who'd heard that digital picture frames might contain viruses. While this is not a common problem, the truth is that anything that you plug into your computer and use to transfer files onto your computer , whether it's a digital picture frame, a USB drive (also called a "thumb drive" or a "flash drive"), or even your own smartphone, can contain viruses.
Here are a few tips to avoid viruses from external devices that you plug into your computer:
Install Microsoft Security Essentials. Microsoft Security Essentials is popular antivirus software that you can download for free. When you transfer files onto your computer from any device, Microsoft Security Essentials will scan the files automatically.
Use external devices with caution. Don't put an unknown flash (or thumb) drive into your PC. Even if you trust the owner of the drive, don't open files that you weren't expecting.
Use the Microsoft Safety Scanner. If you think you might have already downloaded an infected file from a digital picture frame or other external drive, use the free Microsoft Safety Scanner to check your PC.

Police looking for Oklahoma mom who took son
Investigators concerned about Benjamin's safety
Published 10:27 AM CST Feb 08, 2013
Authorities across the state are searching for a mother they say took her son to avoid returning the child to his father. The dad is the custodial parent.
Officials say Kayla Harmon took her 4-year-old son Benjamin and may try to leave the state or even the country. A McAlester officer who spoke with Harmon over the phone said she refused to disclose her location.
Investigators said they have reason to be concerned about Benjamin's safety.

Good reef
We dive into the warm blue waters of Australia's Barrier Reef
'A slice of paradise between the reef and the rainforest." That is how the marketing blurb describes northern Queensland, and it really is hard to argue. The day mama nature was distributing her bounty, tropical Queensland was at the front of the queue.
The first view of this paradise comes as the Qantas city-flyer descends towards Cairns airport. From the window, the view is of impenetrably dense swathes of forest intersected by an intricate pattern of rivers and lagoons, and conical, dark green hills everywhere that look like those drawn by kindergarten kids before they get the hang of reality.
Cairns is back-packer heaven, a town of cheap, few-frills hotels used by gap-year travellers as a base to explore the Barrier Reef and the magnificent rainforest.
For those travelling with suitcases, Cairns is not a place to linger in but to be collected from. In our case, by a shiny limo organised by upscale travel firm Abercrombie & Kent, which whisked us along a corniche road that swooped between rainforest and coast for much of the 35-mile drive north to Port Douglas.
A glossily prosperous resort town at the top of a peninsula, Port Douglas has a swathe of good hotels, lively restaurants, great shops and the laid-back, hippy-chic vibe of Florida Keys. The luggage there is more likely to be a Vuitton valise than a Berghaus backpack, and nowhere more so than at the luscious Sheraton Mirage.
One of Australia's most luxurious mainland resort hotels, the Sheraton Mirage has fives acres of gardens, golf courses, tennis courts and every other amenity that even the most demanding guest could wish for.
Here, necessity has been the mother of blissful invention. For much of the year, Four Mile beach, beside which the hotel is built, is a no-go area due to the Box jellyfish — the planet's most venomous creatures — which live in its waters. Without a usable beach, the hotel has supplemented the usual pools — of which it has several, including kiddie ones — with a magical series of palm-bounded lagoons.
All cool, blue water, the lagoons are safe, swimmable and designed so you can glide languidly around, or laze in the shallows as you lap up the sun or read. Alternatively, you can perch on one of the loungers dotted in pairs away from other sunbathers.
Rooms are wonderfully spacious and well equipped — sunken spa bath included — as one would expect from a hotel boasting five stars and dozens of accolades.
As well as offering golf, tennis, bicycles and free shuttle buses into town, the hotel can also arrange excursions to the rainforest and boat-trips with diving or snorkelling on the Barrier Reef.
Breakfasts here are lavish, with a seemingly endless menu of hot and cold food, fruits, breads, cereals, smoked salmon, cheeses, fresh-made omelettes, teas, tisanes and coffee.
In the hotel's main fine-dining restaurant, your table is on a candlelit — and if you are lucky, moonlit — terrace overlooking one of the lagoons.
There you can eat very well from a menu featuring sensationally well-prepared veggie dishes like wild-mushroom risotto and, as befits an area where the waters teem with fish, fresh and deliciously prepared cod, sea-bass or halibut.
Another clever service from A&K is a list of recommended restaurants for the area in which you are staying. From their Port Douglas list, we chose On The Inlet. Al fresco, buzzy and fabulous, its pierside location and wood benches belie a restaurant with excellent food and great service.
It also serves what may be the biggest Margaritas and the largest Caeser salads on the planet, fish so fresh it probably left the water only half an hour before arriving on your plate and perhaps the yummiest chips in the southern hemisphere.
Suffering slight Margarita damage, we were picked up the next morning by limo to return to Cairns for a 40-minute flight by tiny Cessna to the elegant P&O-owned resort at Lizard Island. A&K had warned us in advance about baggage restrictions on the flight, so we were able to pack accordingly in Port Douglas. Others were not so fortunate, scrabbling around on the floor of Cairns airport fretfully trying to work out what they could deposit at left-luggage.
Lizard Island was named by Captain James Cook because of the abundance of lizards rather than for its contours, which is odd since part of the island exactly echoes the shape of one of these scaly reptiles.
In tribute to the English sea-captain who clambered ashore while trying to navigate a safe route through the coral outcrops, the island's highest point is known as Cook's Look. Cook, incidentally, also named the Great Barrier Reef. Or rather mis-named it, since it is not a single "great" reef or a barrier, except in the sense that it barred his way to the mainland.
Today's visitors to this sublime resort come for boho-chic atmosphere, the exclusivity (it can accommodate a maximum 80 guests), the vast, secluded beach-side bungalows equipped with every possible amenity and comfort, and for the collection of top-of-the-range toys (boats of every sort, bikes and pedaloes) available for guests' use.
Lizard general manager Caroline Dey knows what her guests value most: privacy, comfort, quiet pampering and time to themselves.
And all these are provided in abundance, from the second you arrive when, over iced tea and nibbles, she enquires about culinary preferences and ensures any special dietary requirements are met, to guaranteeing that the island is a paparazzi-free zone (the resort controls its airspace and guards the ocean, so celebs can — and do, though it is P&O policy not to reveal names — sojourn here in peace).
A typical Lizard day might start with a stroll along a shady path, or on the fine, sandy beach to breakfast in the vast, open-sided pavilion that houses reception, lounge and restaurant. Breakfast is a healthy feast of fresh, tropical fruits, Bircher muesli, breads, a buffet of fish and cheeses and hot dishes to order.
From breakfast, you might visit the spa, the pool, the tennis courts, a beach or go down to Anchor Bay to hop aboard the glass-bottom boat for your first introduction to the reef.
Alternatively, having pre-ordered a picnic, you could collect your motor launch from the flotilla free for guests and take your own cruise around Lizard or to a nearby uninhabited island. Before setting off you inform the beach crew where you plan to land, and that beach or islet is yours for the day. You can sail the beaches, bays and coves before anchoring. Then, with your lavish picnic and an umbrella to shade you, you can while away the hours reading, snoozing or swimming till it's time to head back.
There are also half-day and whole-day cruises to the best diving and snorkelling spots where you get an up-close view of the breathtakingly beautiful, magical and colourful reef.
For an hour at a time, you flip around in the warm sea, swimming from an area of coral that looks like a forest of leafless trees, to another that resembles a field of technicolour mushrooms. And swimming around and through it are fish of every shape, colour and pattern to dazzle the eye and confound the senses.
Then it's back on board for lunch and soft drinks — there is an alcohol ban on board that is part of a reassuringly strict safety policy — before sailing to the next dive spot to repeat the whole experience.
While Lizard lunches — if you are not out picnicking or cruising — are light and casual, dinner is a leisurely and romantic affair, with tables set out in a semi-circle with views of the moon-lit sea and beach.
Chef Mark Long prepares the kind of modern Australian gourmet food which features light, healthy dishes, fresh flavours and no rich sauces. His speciality is a selection of smooth, fat-free soups made with one or two vegetables (Jerusalem artichoke and parsnip and red pepper were our favourites), while there was always either a permitted fish or vegetarian dish among the main courses.

I needed a sweatshirt to bum around the house the other day, and one in the bottom of my bureau drawer caught my eye. Emblazoned across the front were bold green letters that read, "Chief Logan '88: Last of the Mingoes."
Although I doubt it still fits, I can't bring myself to part with it. I know it's just a piece of clothing, but it holds so many memories. I never went to Chief Logan, but I spent many a summer there when I was young. My grandmother, Florence Farran, worked as a secretary there for 33 years in the main office.
My grandfather, Ray, would take me into the school during the day to visit. I loved roaming the empty hallways and playing in the cavernous gymnasium. I looked forward to experiencing new adventures every time I went there.
I remember going to a basketball game one time and how raucous fans were for their beloved Mingoes. Even in defeat, they cheered to the bitter end. Growing up in Maine, I remember how said I felt when I heard Chief was making way for Indian Valley. I made sure I got one of those sweatshirts.
When I was hired by The Sentinel in 1991, one of my first assignments was to cover an Indian Valley basketball game. I couldn't wait to get back in the old gym, expecting to find the bleachers filled to the top and the atmosphere electric.
I was shocked to find the crowds sparse and the energy gone. It was not what it once was, and never was the same. I'm sure things will be just as different for the Mifflin County Huskies.
Like many, I miss Chief. I'm sure diehard fans of the Kishacoquillas Indians, West Snyder Mounties, Middleburg Middies and Lewistown Panthers treasure their own fond memories of an era gone by. Rothrock, anyone?
The Juniata Indians and East Juniata Tigers won't find themselves on the trash heap of retired mascots some day, as long as their coaches and boosters have anything to say about it. Many feel as passionate about maintaining the individual identities of their schools as they do about keeping their programs afloat.
Their tireless efforts should be applauded. Sports provide so much more for today's athletes than wins and losses. They provide opportunities, such as earning scholarships to help athletes further their educations. They teach integrity, sportsmanship and responsibility, all values that athletes will take with them for the rest of their lives.
And, for many, athletics creates lasting memories. Whether it was seeing former East Juniata football coach Al Ream hugging his players after beating Halifax to clinch a winning season, or the resilience of the Juniata players after falling to Line Mountain on a last-second kick, they all are cherished memories.
Maybe Juniata and East Juniata will eventually combine their teams, if the financial wells run dry. In the meantime, these athletes, coaches and boosters should be commended for their efforts and supported in the stands.
Unless the school district comes up with funding, you have a long road ahead of you. I wish you all the best in making more memories.
Greg Williams was a Sentinel sports reporter during the 1990s. He now lives in the Philadelphia area, and contributes to the sports section regularly as a correspondent, most recently contributing the series "Budget Crunch: Funding scholastic sports in Juniata County."

While the world waits to find out when the Catholic Church will choose the next pope and who it will be, a new study shows that U.S. Catholics are divided on the direction the church should take.
Pope Benedict XVI made a shocking announcement Feb. 11 that, because of age and declining health, he would be the first pope in 600 years to step down.
Fifty-one percent of U.S. Catholics think the next pope should maintain the traditional positions of the church, according to a Pew Research Center poll. About 46 percent are hoping for change, and top requests include that the church become more modern (19 percent), get tougher on sex abuse (15 percent), allow priests to marry (14 percent, accept homosexuality (9 percent), allow women to be priests (9 percent), and lessen the church's opposition to the use of contraception (7 percent).
"It's striking to me that Catholics in the United States really do express a desire for the church to move forward in specific ways," said Greg Smith, senior researcher for Pew Research Center. "You've got this openness to change accompanied by a real appreciation for the traditions of the Catholic Church."
Pope Benedict's resignation, effective Feb. 28, means the Conclave of Cardinals will meet in Rome to elect a successor.
A majority of Catholics, 60 percent, say it would be a good thing if the next pope is from a developing region of the world, such as parts of South America, Asia or Africa.
Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesman, said he expects a new pope to be picked before Easter.
Looking back over Benedict's papacy, U.S. Catholics are overall pleased with the work he has done. However, his favorability rating isn't as high as its peak of 83 percent right after his papal visit to the United States in April 2008.
About 74 percent of U.S. Catholics express a favorable view of Benedict, 85, who served eight years as pope. Benedict was a staunch conservative when it came to church teachings, but brought about many technology changes to modernize the church. He tweets from an iPad, has a Facebook page and provides Vatican news from a YouTube channel.
Pope Benedict's ratings have never soared as high as his predecessor Pope John Paul II, who was rated favorably by 90 percent of U.S. Catholics in three separate Pew Research polls in the 1980s and 1990s.
U.S. Catholics are united on some fronts. Most give Benedict negative ratings for his handling of the sex-abuse scandal in the church. Among Catholics who say they followed news of the pontiff's resignation, 63(PERCENT) are displeased with how he addressed the sex-abuse scandal, while 33 percent give him positive ratings. These ratings are significantly more negative than in April 2008.
"I'll be very interested to see how Catholics in the United States and elsewhere react to the new pope," Smith said. "There really is a division, that's something I'll be keeping an eye on."
The poll conducted Feb. 13-18 has a margin of error of +/-6.5 percentage points.

Featured Golf News
Feng Wins with Ease in Dubai
China's Shanshan Feng carded her four straight round in the 60s for a wire-to-wire victory in the Dubai Ladies Masters.
The 23-year-old closed with a 3-under 69 to finish at 21-under 267, five strokes ahead of The Netherlands' Dewi Claire Schreefel in the Ladies European Tour event played on the Majlis course at Emirates Golf Club.
In the final round Feng posted two birdies, an eagle and a bogey in the tournament that had a Wednesday start. She just focused on her own game and not much else Saturday. "I didn't look at the leaderboard until 18, so I had no idea how everyone else was doing. But I'm very happy," said Feng.
"I wanted a top-five finish this week and I did even better than that. I played solid all week and my putting was the key."
Her victory in Dubai was the sixth worldwide - including the U.S., Japan and the Middle East - for Feng in 2012. In June she became the first Chinese player to win a major with her title in the LPGA Championship.
Schreefel, who attended college in the States at USC, was just happy to stay with eyeshot of the winner. "This second place almost feels like a victory since she (Feng) had already run away with it with her first two round. I may not have won, but I am very pleased with my game, which was just solid," said Schreefel, who set a new course with a 63 on Friday.
Tied for third were Becky Brewerton (65) of Wales and Caroline Masson (71). Masson needed to finish second to overtake Spain's Carlota Ciganda and win the Order of Merit. But a triple-bogey on the 12th hole ended the German's hopes. "I gave it my best shot, but it was just not good enough," Masson said.
Ciganda became the first player since Laura Davies in 1985 to win the LET's money title and Rookie of the Year award in the same year. "It ends an unbelievable season," said Ciganda, who had a 68 to finish in a tie for 10th at 279. "I'm very proud."
Among those sharing 10th with Ciganda was defending champion Lexi Thompson, who shot a 70 Saturday. Michelle Wie closed with a 69 to end up in 19th at 282.

That fact, coupled with the power of incumbency and the current system of gerrymandering that creates "safe" districts for Democrats while keeping Republicans in their corners (such as Santa Clarita), virtually ensures victory for Santa Clarita's incumbent Republicans every November.
Locally, the hottest races for partisan office are the Republican primaries when there is no incumbent or heir-apparent. That did not happen in 2008.
Every election, the Democratic campaigns say it will be different this time, and every time it isn't. The voter registration and polling numbers don't lie. The Republicans are shoo-ins.
Why hold an election at all? We ask that only half-mockingly. We strongly support Proposition 11, the redistricting initiative that would end the system of preordained outcomes across California. Until we get fair redistricting, legislative elections in most communities will remain little more than biennial checkups.
When endorsing in partisan elections, we ask ourselves several things: Which candidate better reflects the majority will of the people of the Santa Clarita Valley? Is the lawmaker effective? What kind of job has he or she done the past two or four years?
So in the interest of providing the voters with additional information to assist them in making their choices, here are our choices.
Buck McKeon for Congress
Howard "Buck" McKeon is Santa Clarita's Mr. Smith who went to Washington. He entered the family business - a western-wear store in Canyon Country that his parents started in the 1960s - and raised a family here.
He served on the Hart school board and received the most votes to become Santa Clarita's first mayor when the city was formed in 1987 - the same year he co-founded Valencia National Bank (now part of Union Bank of California).
He won his seat in Congress on his first try five years later.
His Democratic challenger, Jackie Conaway, is a law office manager from Barstow who has not held elective office.
The difference between the two is as clear as night and day. Conaway has labor union backing, while McKeon championed No Child Left Behind and focused on keeping college costs down when he chaired the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
McKeon is the right choice for a district that stretches from the northern San Fernando Valley to the Nevada border and includes major defense contractors as well as Edwards Air Force Base and Fort Irwin.
Locally, the hottest topic of the past decade has been the multi-agency effort to stop the Mexican mining conglomerate, Cemex, from turning eastern Canyon Country into a giant gravel pit.
The feds approved the mining project in 1990, before McKeon got to Congress. McKeon can take credit for the fact that the mega-mining hasn't happened yet, and he has been working on a permanent solution.
His bill in the last Congress - a clever land swap that would help both Santa Clarita and Victorville - stalled when Washington balked at the price tag. McKeon is committed to overcoming that hurdle in the next session.
And McKeon deserves credit for pushing the Eastern Sierra and Northern San Gabriel Wild Heritage Act, aka the Wilderness bill. It would protect 400,000 acres of national forest land in Southern California and determine where off-road vehicles and other invasive forces can and can't go.
George Runner for 17th Senate District
For a Republican in a Democrat-controlled Legislature, onetime Lancaster Mayor George Runner has been remarkably effective, first as an assemblyman and now a state senator.
Voters may be most familiar with him as a champion of numerous tough-on-crime bills including Jessica's Law, which targeted sexual predators. Runner has spent the past couple of months campaigning around the state for Proposition 6, which cracks down on gang bangers.
He has been campaigning for the passage of Proposition 6 instead of campaigning for himself because, for the reasons we mentioned earlier, he doesn't need to.
Tony Strickland for 19th Senate District
Tom McClintock is running for a U.S congressional seat and doing it in Sacramento, leaving an open seat in a Republican district that is centered in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties and includes a weirdly gerrymandered sliver of the SCV.
The primaries in the 19th Senate District gave us polar opposites: an ultraconservative, anti-tax Republican in Tony Strickland and an ultraliberal, environmental and labor activist in Hannah-Beth Jackson.
With voter registration margins narrowing in Santa Barbara and Ventura, the California Democratic Party is targeting the 19th Senate District in hopes of taking away this traditionally Republican seat.
Strickland will take the Santa Clarita portion, as his views dovetail with those of Santa Clarita's more conservative majority.
Cameron Smyth for 38th Assembly District
Another former Santa Clarita mayor, Cameron Smyth, spent his freshman term getting his feet wet and proving he is a statesman who can cross the political aisle to get bills passed.
He championed the Surrogate Stalker Act, which targets sickos who publish information about children on the Internet for use by stalkers.
He went after human traffickers, promoted solar energy and authored legislation to deter nuisance lawsuits against businesses for bogus violations of the Americans With Disabilities Act, without diminishing access rights for the disabled.
He also carried bills specific to the Simi Valley portion of his district. He has earned and deserves a trip back to Sacramento.
Smyth's opponent, Carole Lutness, has not held local elective office outside of the Democratic Party, but she is an articulate spokeswoman for her views and might some day make a fine candidate in a less Republican area.
Audra Strickland for 37th Assembly District
Republican Audra Strickland replaced her husband, Tony, in 2004 when he was term-limited out of the 37th Assembly District, which includes Castaic and parts of Saugus and Agua Dulce.
If Tony is elected in the 19th Senate District, the Stricklands will replace the Runners as the only husband-and-wife team in the Legislature. (Sharon Runner is termed out in the 36th).
A junior high teacher-turned-political aide and now a lawmaker, Audra Strickland has pushed an anti-tax, anti-crime agenda in the Assembly and will soundly defeat her lesser-known Democratic challenger, Ferial Masry.
Water Board incumbents
The role of the Castaic Lake Water Agency is to provide an ample supply of clean water at a reasonable cost. It is not to play water politics or use the spigot as a weapon to control growth.
Controlling growth is the job of the city and county, not the water agency. Unlike some other water boards, the CLWA board understands its job.
The CLWA board has planned expertly for our future water needs. Even in dry years, we have not experienced the shortages or rationing that other communities have suffered.
That's because the CLWA board is doing its job well. Vote the incumbents back in so they can continue that effort.
Re-elect Bill Cooper (at large), R.J. Kelly (Division 1), E.G. "Jerry" Gladbach (Division 2) and William Pecsi (Division 3).

Building near Kipling home in Vermont open to rentersMay 15,2013
The Associated Press
DUMMERSTON — A building on property in Vermont that was once the home of author Rudyard Kipling is now open to vacationers for rent.
The carriage house sits just a stone's throw from Naulakha (now-LAH'-kuh), the Dummerston home that Kipling built in the 1890s and where he wrote "The Jungle Book" and other works.
The Landmark Trust USA is preparing the Carriage House, which dates to the 1890s, for its first renters at the end of the month, the Brattleboro Reformer reports (http://bit.ly/19sEcyV).
The first floor housed Kipling's carriage and a greenhouse. Servants' quarters were upstairs.
"Here we are with this amazing property, which is now empty and in perfect condition," said Kelly Carlin, the trust's regional property manager. "It's got historical significance. It's a perfect complement to Naulakha."
The trust already rents out the Naulakha to short-term tenants. The home, named after a book Kipling co-authored about an Indian jewel, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

David Letterman will soon have one more reason to stay up late: diaper duty.
The 56-year-old "Late Show" host told his studio audience Thursday that he's going to be a father, the Associated Press reports. Longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko, 43, is about six months' pregnant, Letterman said in an episode due to air Friday.
"I have an announcement to make and I'll be honest with you, I'm a little bit nervous. I have some trepidations about this. I feel a little silly because it's one of those things where I thought never in my life this would happen," said the intensely private host.
"And here I am, 56, and by all rights it shouldn't be happening. But, there's nothing we can do about it now. And I'm terribly excited about this. I'm scared silly about this. I'm going to be a father."
The studio audience then cheered for Letterman.
The couple, who are seldom seen in public, began dating each other about 10 years ago when Lasko worked for Letterman on his show, the New York Post reports. They're not married, but Letterman confirmed that he and Lasko are discussing the possibility.
"I realize we kind of got the cart before the horse here. But, I'm just seeing how much I can get away with," he said. "But, I can't do this forever, and it'd be nice to have the kid take over the family business."
"'Tonight, David Letterman Jr. and his guests,'" bandleader sidekick Paul Shaffer cracked, according to AP.
"Oh my God, does that sound peculiar," Letterman replied.
He also joked about becoming a father at his age, adding, "By the time the child has trouble in life, you know, I'll be dead. I'll be long gone. By the time the kid's out stealing cars, you know, Dad will be dead a few years."
Letterman, who grew up in Indiana and underwent quadruple bypass surgery four years ago, was previously married for seven years to college girlfriend Michelle Cook. "For what I put her through, I should burn in hell for the rest of my life," he once told Esquire magazine. "I don't know how to behave (toward women). ... I'm no day at the beach, let's just say that."

Hayek to topline ABC telepic
Salma Hayek will star in "Paradise," the four-hour telepic adaptation of the Toni Morrison novel for Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Films and ABC.
Darnell Martin is adapting the novel and will direct. He most recently helmed TV movie "Oprah Winfrey Presents: Their Eyes Were Watching God," which garnered an Emmy nomination for star Halle Berry.
"Paradise" revolves around the murder of numerous women by a group of black men in the town of Ruby, Okla.
Hayek, who began her career starring in the Mexican daytime soap "Nuevo Amanecer," rarely does television anymore, though she did play Esmeralda in TNT's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and directed "The Maldonado Miracle" for Showtime.
She just wrapped three features: She stars with Colin Farrell in the Robert Towne-directed "Ask the Dust"; with Penelope Cruz in "Bandidas" for Fox; and with John Travolta and James Gandolfini in the indie "Lonely Hearts."

Come July 1, Randolph County will have a new weapon in its arsenal to fight drug use and violent crime within its borders.
The Randolph County Commission approved the hiring of attorney Richard Shryock as the county's new assistant prosecuting attorney at its regular meeting Thursday.
Shryock - who currently works as a private practice lawyer at McNeer, Highland, McMunn & Varner in Elkins - will focus specifically on prosecuting cases involving drugs and violent crime. At the request of Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker, the commission approved funding for the position at a county budget meeting in March.

The Randolph County Commission approved the hiring of attorney Richard Shryock, pictured above, as the county's newest assistant prosecuting attorney Thursday.
"The commission graciously worked with my budget to allow me to hire a new attorney, so we advertised in the local paper and we had an applicant not too far from home," Parker said of Shryock. "He has an extensive amount of criminal law experience, and helped me greatly when I first started in the practice of law, answering many, many of my questions.
"I think it's tremendous this county has an opportunity to hire someone with (Shryock's) credentials," Parker added.
County Commissioner Mike Taylor said Parker had made a "wise choice" in selecting Shryock.
"Not unlike many other counties in the state, we have had increased problems with drug crimes, and I think this is a step in the right direction to help with that," Taylor remarked, also commending law enforcement for their work in apprehending perpetrators of drug-related crimes.
Shryock, who will be paid $60,000 plus full benefits, will step into the full-time position July 1, joining Parker and two assistant prosecuting attorneys, Christina Harper and Lori Gray.
However, this won't be the first time Shryock has worked for the Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney's office: he served a stint as an assistant county prosecuting attorney from 2002 to 2005, according to McNeer, Highland, McMunn & Varner's website.
Also at Thursday's county commission meeting:
"We're working to get them corrected," Gainer said. Only five of the nine ambulances in the county are functional due to a variety of mishaps from collision with a deer to "complete catastrophic engine failure," Gainer said following the meeting. The Randolph County EMS maintains units in Elkins, Harman and Mill Creek.

I adopted him from North Shore Animal League in 2004. He was about 4 years old at the time. He had a name already (Loki), but I didn't like it. But I had no idea what else to name him, until we passed St. Francis Hospital on the way home from the shelter. Who better to name him after than the cherished animal-loving saint? Since no one knows exactly when he was born, I celebrate his saint's day on October 4th.

Recently, the WWE has finally decided to start paying serious attention to its tag team division.
With two former world champions Daniel Bryan and Kane serving as champions, and plenty of new teams in the mix, the tag division is looking stronger than it has at any point in the last several years.
Smartly, the WWE has decided to showcase this division by having a tournament featuring the eight top teams on the roster to determine who the No. 1 contenders will be for Hell in a Cell, while Bryan and Kane continue with their anger management storyline.
I have been hoping they would do something like this to really show off the new teams and create excitement for the division and what better way to do it than a good old-fashioned tournament.
The only question now is, which team should win it?
With Bryan and Kane likely only to serve as short-term champions before moving back into singles action, the winners of the tournament will likely serve as the new champions in the near future.
On SmackDown this week, The Usos were eliminated after being defeated by The Rhodes Scholars, so only seven teams now remain.
Here is the ranking of those seven teams of which team should come out on top.

Rated 5 out of 5�by ProfDuck No Huddle Essential For my 6-8 year old football team, I implemented a Color-Number playcalling system which worked really well for us this year. This wristband would actually go on the belt of the RBs and arms of of the lineman. It worked like a charm despite seemingly being too big to go on everyones arm. This was just what I needed to organize my young coach staff and players into my system. Best money I spent this yr on those kids! November 11, 2015

Rated 3 out of 5�by Susie45 Nike Youth Evo Control Playcoach Feel this is a great addition to my grandson's little league flag football equipment, but "honestly" do feel it was too expensive for the item. Feel the cost should have been around $9.99 to $12.00, not the $20.00 I paid for it. I like having the Dick's sporting store in Topeka, but we just moved here from where Scheels was main store and their prices were much better than Dick's. I do feel competition will be good for Topeka, as you need to bring down pricing of items in your store. You wanted an honest opinion, so I gave it, as I am one who likes things in black and white and telling the truth. Thank you. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Coach 14 Good product for youth football QB's This product was recommended to me by another of our youth football coaches. Good product... well made and long lasting. The only downside was that I wanted the plays to be neatly texted but my printer wouldn't except the little 3x5 cards that come standard. I printed out our plays on construction paper then cut them out into 3x5 cards and it worked well that way. I recommend this product Coach Bill Golden Sierra Jr Grizzlies August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jeff Nike play coach Exactly what we were looking for and cool looking too June 3, 2014

Florida freshman forward Chris Walker has been cleared by the NCAA and is expected to make his debut next Tuesday vs. Missouri after missing 12 games for receiving "preferential treatment from five people, including two agents" during his time as a high school prospect.
Walker, a 6-10 power forward ranked as the No. 7 overall prospect in the Class of 2013 by 247Sports, was only admitted to Florida last month after academic issues kept him from enrolling in August. The extent of the impermissible benefits came to light Wednesday, with the NCAA noting in a statement that Walker accepted free cellphones, travel accommodations, meals and apparel, and people close to Walker received free airfare and lodging for nine trips.
Walker is an exceptionally athletic player who won last year's dunk contest at the McDonald's All-American Game, but he's still raw.
Says Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy of Walker: "A 6-10, 205-pound power forward from Holmes County High in Florida, Walker is an extraordinary athlete. And he certainly made an impression on recruiting analysts while playing summer basketball on the same team as incoming Gators freshman point guard Kasey Hill.
"Walker is not an extraordinary basketball player, though. He is marginally skilled, not yet physically powerful and not all that certain about how to make an impact on a game.
Look at his evaluation at Scout.com. His strengths are listed as athleticism, length and an ability to run the floor. His weaknesses are listed as low-block scoring and the mid-range game.
"It's fairly clear he'll need all the basketball practice he can get, so this certainly does not help Walker to develop toward his NBA goals. And it never hurts to have an extra 6-10 athlete on the bench of a big-time college basketball team. "
Florida has not lost since falling to UConn 65-64 on Dec. 2, and has risen to No. 3 in the country in the meantime. The Gators are looking for their first trip to the Final Four since 2007, when they won the second of consecutive national titles.
Florida has reached the Elite Eight each of the past three seasons. Could Walker be another piece that helps them reach the next level?

Fabric Scrap Pom Pom

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This Fabric Scrap Pom Pom from Becky Striepe is great for attaching to a package or hanging on your tree or mantel as decoration. Fabric scrap crafts like this are great for clearing out your craft stash as well! You could use combinations of scrap ribbons and fabric to create a pom pom with lots of colors and texture!
- Skinny fabric scraps, ribbon, ric rac scraps, yarn
- Reclaimed cardboard
- 2 round things (one should be around 4-5″ in diameter, the other should be around 2″ in diameter. Jars, coffee tins, lids, etc work great!)
- Scissors (one pair for paper, one pair for fabric)
- To start, you'll need to make a pom pom maker. If you're just using yarn, you can use the finger wrapping method, but trust me: this will not work with bulkier materials like fabric scraps. To make your pom pom maker, trace your large round thing onto your cardboard, then trace the small round thing in the center, so you're left with a donut. Then, do the same thing again to make an identical donut. Cut out your the donuts, and you get this:
- It's time to wrap! Put on some good TV or music, and have a sit down, because the wrapping is the most time-consuming part. Put your two cardboard donuts together, then grab a piece of fabric, and start wrapping the fabric around your donut sandwich like so:
- When you come to the end of one piece of fabric, just grab another piece, let it overlap the first a bit by about an inch, and keep wrapping. Continue until you have a nice, bulky wrapped fabric donut, like this:
- Now, grab your fabric scissors. You want to very carefully trim all the way around the very outer perimeter of your donut. Take your time, and try not to lift the donut off of the table, if you can avoid it.
- Once you've cut through all of the fabric all the way around, you should be able to gently pry your two pieces of cardboard apart. Take one more piece of fabric (I used a length of twine), and wrap it around all of the fabric, by sliding it in between your two pieces of cardboard, like this:
- Tie a knot, then carefully pull the cardboard pieces off of your pom pom. It might look a little bit janky, but give it a fluff to perk it up. You can also give it a haricut, trimming off pieces of fabric that are a bit too long.
- Tie your twine on the other end to make a loop, and you're ready to hang!

I love this idea. I have made many many pompoms with wool, since childhood, but never thought of doing them with fabric scraps. Great project and great step-by-step Becky. http://eathealthylivefit.com

INWOOD - It took one play and about 12 seconds for Musselman to score on its opening drive Friday night against Hampshire.
Caleb Dembeck found Trevon Wesco on the sideline, and Wesco, after catching a ball over one defender and eluding another, went 66 yards for a touchdown.
It was that kind of night for Dembeck and the Applemen.

Dembeck had one of those nights where everything went right, and he was right on target as Musselman trounced the Trojans at home.
Dembeck threw five touchdown passes and threw just two incompletions as he added to his already impressive passing numbers. It was more than enough to get Musselman its sixth win of the season and now has him as The Journal/Gold's Gym Athlete of the Week (Oct. 7-Oct. 13).
Heading into the game, Musselman was on a roll. The Applemen had won the last three games, scoring at least 50 points in each contest.
Musselman continued that trend against Hampshire, and while the Applemen were balanced in yards - 268 rushing and 269 passing - most of the big plays came through the air. The passing game accounted for more than half of the Applemen's scores.
Dembeck completed 13 of 15 passes, a completion percentage of .860. Nine of those passes went to either Wesco or Darrin Zombro.
Dembeck's first three touchdowns went to Wesco, scores of 66, 17 and 40. The remaining two touchdown passes went to Zombro. He first found Zombro on a 4-yard score in the second quarter, then connected with Zombro on a 7-yard pass in the third quarter.
Dembeck finished the night with 269 passing yards, raising him to an area-best 1,561 yards and 20 TDs, to only five interceptions.

Cold is the heart,
that has seen the truth.
A soul that knows,
the game is played by the book.
For love is a lie,
created to shelter.
A mirage that hides,
the most masterful deceiver.
As she closes her eyes,
waits for the kiss.
Slowly, unknowingly,
is written her death-wish.
A curse is cast,
on the wisest of men.
As he foolishly trusts,
and his wisdom thus ends.
For the thief comes,
in the most bewitching disguise.
As you fall for his device,
a crafted demise.
Unfortunate are those,
who never find love.
And yet more unfortunate,
the ones that love finds.

Thunder (55-20, 23-13 road) vs. Suns (45-31, 25-14 home)
TV: FS Oklahoma
Stream: Click here
Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1 FM, 640 AM, 1300 AM The Buzz Tulsa)
Time: 8:00 CT
Offensive Rating: Thunder – 110.3 (7th), Suns – 109.6 (8th)
Defensive Rating: Thunder – 103.4 (5th), Suns – 106.7 (14th)
Pace: Thunder – 95.6 (9th), Suns – 95.8 (6th)
OK, so set your DVR for Game of Thrones, because you want to be watching as Kevin Durant goes for a 41st consecutive game with at least 25 points. Because that's a big deal. Also: This game is quietly a big deal. The Thunder are mostly settling in to the No. 2 seed, but obviously prefer winning and making sure they don't let the Clippers gain ground. Along with the fact the Suns are completely desperate.
Hard to forget what happened the last time these teams played. The Thunder played defense like the current incarnation of the Lakers, and got lit up all over the floor from the outside. It was a loss to a good team, but it still felt bad.
Considering Friday's game against the Rockets and the last game being a close loss, I fully expect a good performance from the Thunder tonight. Russell Westbrook is back in the lineup, as is Kendrick Perkins and the team should have a bit of an edge to it tonight.
Three Big Things
1. Don't let Gerald Green score 50. Pretty simple here, guys. Don't let Gerald Green make nine 3s again, OK?
2. Transition. The Suns like to shoot 3s, but they do it in transition or half transition opportunities. The Suns are fast and athletic, and can create turnovers and open floor opportunities. The Thunder need to take care of the ball, take good shots that don't lead to runouts, and make sure they get matched up.
3. Get that 25. Go get your 25, KD. Don't let anyone tell you it's not a big deal. Because it definitely is. However, maybe you need to pretend it's not, because it seemed like maybe you pressed a bit too much against the Spurs and Rockets. So just forget about it and let it fly.
Tip at 8:00 CT. Go Westeros.

Brigadoon Wine Co.
Brigadoon Wine Co. is a new Oregon winery making Oregon Pinot noir from its own six acre vineyard in the South end of the Willamette Valley. The combination of the southern valley�s hotter days and the vineyard elevation�s colder nights both ripen the fruit and stress the vines, resulting in complex and satisfying wines. They also make wine with fruit from vineyards around the state.
Brigadoon is a family winery, with Chris Shown managing the vineyard, Sheree Shown assisting their son Matt in making the wines, and son Nick working with the farm�s timber and developing the winery�s �farm to table� products.
More About Brigadoon Wine Co.
Chris grew up in vineyards. His first job in 1970 was working for his father planting the Rutherford Vineyard in Napa Valley. When he moved to Oregon, he brought his deep knowledge of grape growing to the South Willamette, where he meticulously farms his six acres. A strong believer in hands on sustainable agriculture, Chris not only manages Brigadoon Vineyards, but is also the primary caretaker of the vines and land. In addition, he manages other small vineyards in the Southern Willamette Valley.
Chris's son Matt makes the family wines. He is known for his tasty good value Pinot, called "Lylee" and his higher end Eola Amity and Taproot Pinot noirs and a Pinot blanc.
The Lylee name comes from a combination of Chris Lyle Shown and Sheree Lee Shown�s names. The Lylee Pinot noir is their ready to drink wine that they describe as �complementing our daily lives.� You get a lot of wine for your money. The Lylee goes well with a burger, but stands on its own paired with fancier cuisine like Oregon's succulent spring lamb or grilled salmon.

PS3, 360 GTAIV Get Patched
Update improves various multiplayer connectivity issues.
Grand Theft Auto IV? So two months ago. Who cares about that game anymore?
Oh yeah, everybody. Well, for the everybody that does still care, Rockstar has released a new patch for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, improving a few issues with the online multiplayer mode. Specifically, the patch is fixing "freezes during certain modes, continuation when players leave matches, and bugs within races and race lobbies." Here's the full list of all the fixes -- you know, if you still give a damn about the game, anyway.
- Fixed an issue where players were unable to enter or exit vehicles in GTA Race.
- Fixed an issue where scripted vehicles were causing games to unexpectedly crash.
- Improved reliability and frequency of PS3 online leaderboard updates.
- Fixed a rare hang some players encountered when moving from a Race or GTA Race lobby into gameplay.
- Fixed a hang that would occur when players were switching teams during the countdown in the lobby.
- Fixed an issue where players were able to get ridiculously high scores from Cops 'n Crooks matches.
- Changed GTA Race and Race so that the last player remaining always receives a reward of $250.
- Fixed an issue where spectating players would prevent the game from finishing.
- Fixed an issue where players were unable to spectate in Round 2 of Cops 'n Crooks games.
- Changed countdown timer in lobby so that it no longer resets when new players join a game.
- Changed the kick option so that kicked players are no longer brought back to single player.

R*: You;re Still Missing the PointPosted: Jun 25, 2008 12:00AM PST by Senninha
But what about a patch a for single player gameplay?! Online multiplayer in GTA IV is fun, but not the most important gameplay aspect of the game. This is still a single player game and thus they should've concentrated on fixing the bugs on the single player game.
MAYBE ILLPosted: Jun 24, 2008 12:00AM PST by feelmyrathps3
take a break from Metal Gear Online and try this again. The first couple times I tried GTA online it didnt work so I just gave up. It will be hard to put MGO down though ;-(
