Aimee and Emilee Gysegem can remember the trips down to Canton like it was yesterday.
In fact, Thursday, they made a similar trip to the state swim meet at the C.T. Branin Natatorium.
This time around, the roles have been reversed.
Article Photos
Aimee Gysegem
Emilee Gysegem
Emilee is a sophomore at Clarion University and qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championships March 6-9 in Birmingham, Ala., in the 200-yard IM, 400 IM and 200 backstroke.
She's making the trek westward to see her younger sister, Aimee, a sophomore at Howland High School, compete in the preliminaries of today's Division I 500 freestyle.
"I can't believe I'm this old, to be honest," Emilee said. "It feels weird to be driving to the state meet and not be competing in it.
"It hits me sometimes that I'm not a freshman at the state meet anymore or a sophomore at the state meet. I'm a sophomore in college and going to be graduating in two years."
Aimee saw Emilee go to the Division II state meet four straight years (2008-11) for Lakeview High School.
"It's feels a lot different," Aimee said. "I've been here four times. It's kind of like the roles have changed. It doesn't feel like the same meet because I'm swimming in it.
"It's actually comforting to have someone here that's done it before so many times. Obviously, she has plenty of experience."
Both sisters overcame their shortcomings last season. Emilee just missed going to NCAA Nationals, while Aimee missed the state meet.
"This year we really came back and worked our butts off to get where we wanted to be and it happened for us," Emilee said.
Emilee got her NCAA Nationals IM times at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference meet earlier this month and found out this week both times were qualifiers. She smashed the 400 IM Clarion record (4:27.11), breaking the old record held by former 28-time All-American Christina Tillotson of 4:28.04. She won the 200 IM (2:05.33), just missing that record by 13-hundredths of a second. She swam (2:04.91) in the 200 backstroke.
Aimee missed state in the 200 freestyle by 2-hundreths of a second, but it doesn't faze her.
"It was disappointing, but I had my best time," she said. "That's really all you can ask for. I'm happy of how it all played out."
This morning, Aimee wants to cut some more time on her 500 freestyle, where she's 19th (5:06.11). If she gets in the top 16, she'll be racing on Saturday. The top eight make the championship race, while nine through 16 are in the consolation race.
"Any time I drop tomorrow, it'll make me happy," she said. "I'm hoping to get under 5:05, but any drop would be appreciated."
This time, Emilee is the spectator in Canton.
"I can't wait to see how fast she swims this weekend. I know she's going to do great," Emilee said of Aimee.

Finding A Salon in Wilmington, Delaware.
Hair Styling Studios in Wilmington, De.
Babe Styling Studios
213 N. Market Street
Wilmington, De. 19801
(302) 543-7738
Okay so you are new to the Wilmington Delaware area and you need to develop many new relationships quickly. But 1st-things-1st, finding a great hair salon in Wilmington is a priority. The issue is that not all salons are created equally and the place that services your neighborhood down the street just might not work for you at all.
When trying to find the best hair salon some of the best resources are the recommendations and experiences of friends. Check who your friends are using for their hair cut or color, and if you like how it looks you may want to give them a try. We recommend that you be particular about which stylist you go to, no 2 hairstylists are the same, even within the same hair salon.
Be weary of hairdressers that cut your hair then pass you to an apprentice to do the coloring. When you book your hair salon, make sure the person who was performing the cut and coloring is an experienced hairdresser. You may want to go as far as asking if it will be the same individual performing both tasks.
It's important not to judge a salon based on its' appearance. Some of the best cuts and colors come from smaller, quieter hair studios, and likewise the large, flashy and well-no salons don't always deliver on their promises. Don't judge a salon by how it looks, judge it on word of mouth, or by how much experience the hairdressers and colorists have.
Another recommendation in your quest to find a good hair salon in Wilmington is to bring a photo and be specific. Even when you find a good hair salon, you will need to ensure you get a good haircut or color from your hairdresser. One person's version of 'auburn' can be different from yours, so a picture is the best way to be clear about what you want!
Another good idea when searching for a new hairdresser is to know what you want and be willing to take small steps to get there. Sometimes you may feel afraid to speak up about what you want, or you may just be unsure. Whatever you do, don't trust the hairdresser to make that decision for you, their taste may be very different from yours, and you're the one that has to live with the cut and style afterwards. Also, if you're thinking of making a dramatic change, take baby steps 1st; try light brown before you go to blonde, go to a Bob before you go super short!
Utilizing the above tips will increase the odds that you locate a great hair salon in Wilmington, De; please check back weekly for updates.
Delaware hair salons outside of Wilmington.
Below are a few good hair salons in Wilmington for you to check out:

We recommend you always do your homework first of course. Even on the styling studios that we recommend, the experience will be determined client by client and stylest by stylest.

Hello MDM Guru's.
In our system Landscape, use Baan ERP system to fetch data into MDM, cleanse it and push data to SRM/BI system for Business Requirements.
Our MDM is neither connected to any R/3 (ECC) system. we want to have a kind of Reports developed for MDM Data present in our system based on Companies (our Manufacturing sites) and have a automatic mapping of our Manufacturers , Suppliers & Customers based on Global and local Stratergy.
According to my understanding, we can use MDM API's (ABAP or Java). As MDM is not integrated with any of the ERP (ECC or Netweaver Data base)?
We have options to integrate MDM with ECC 6.0 & Netweaver system. Which could be a better option to connect with? we are planning to integrate MDM with E-Portal too, could Portal data base be used.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance
Any updates plz?
Hi Srihari,
Refer to the below links.
Master Data Management Integration
Hope it helps.
Hi Srihari,
If you want to use MDM in you landscape and store and cleanse data in it and then sent the cleansed data to a reporting tool for analysis then you can do it in one of the methods:
- Either connect MDM to the other systems in your landscape using XI as the means of data trnasfer
- Or connect MDM to other systems using the API.
In the first method.you need to use PI/XI to manage the flow of master data to and from your MDM system to others. MDM can be used for data cleansing and enrichment within MDM before syndicating it out.
In the second method you can connect to MDM through other systems using the API.
As you mentioned about reporting on the master data in MDM based on the Companies or manufacturing sites etc.You can achieve this suing MDM ABAP API.
ABAP can be sued as a reporting tool.wherein it will connect to your MDM system through the configured API and fetch the MDM data and generate simple reports .
If you wish to access the MDM data online you can use portal front end. but in this case portal wont be capable to store any information as it is just a front end.
You will have to use MDM as a backend storage system.JAVA API can be used for futher customization on EP.
For ABAP API use you can refer the below link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/profile/tip%2b%2bMDM%2bABAP-API%2b%2bThings%2bto%2bRemember%2b(for%2bStarters)(abap api)

For Java API you can refer the below link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2d18d355-0601-0010-fdbb-d8b143420f49 (Java API)
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Hi Simona,
Thanks for the information.
Now, i have specific question: We get data from Baan ERP systems (50 ERP system data) into MDM.
I want to have an user interface for Business Partners (Suppliers, Customers, Manufacturers), where Global Partners (Corporate) will be mapped to Local Partners(Companies depending on location).
Can we have: Baan --> ECC 6.0 --> MDM landscape for Business Partner Data flow. so, that we can create an Mapping interface of Global & Local Business Partners data using ABAP API's.
Baan --> MDM --> ECC 6.0 --> MDM landscape.
My basic intrest is to create a user interface using ABAP API's to mapping GLobal & Business Partners before syndicating data to other ERP system (could be an SRM/ ECC 6.0/ BI/ e-sourcing).
Can i use the Business Workflows in of ECC to connect to others applications (MDM/ECC6.0/BI/e-sourcing/ EP) etc.
can anyone send me official no.
my id helo underscore sri at yahoo
Thanks in advace

On the Supposed Expertise of Judges in Evaluating Evidence
Barbara A. Spellman
University of Virginia School of Law
University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Vol. 157, 2007
This article is a response to Frederick Schauer, On the Supposed Jury-Dependence of Evidence Law, 155 U. Pa. L. Rev. 165 (2006).
In bench trial judges often feel free to disregard some of the exclusionary rules of evidence. Such rules were designed to prevent jurors from hearing evidence that might be over-relied on or used inappropriately (e.g., be more prejudicial than probative). Judges, however, sometimes assume that they, unlike jurors, could hear the evidence and then give it the appropriate weight. A justification for this variation in procedure is that judges are experts. I dispute that claim relying on definitions of expertise from cognitive psychology. Judges might very be experts at reading and applying case law but, I argue, there is nothing in their training (either as lawyers or as judges) or their experiences that should make them better than jurors at the job of weighting evidence.

COTTAGEVILLE Most of the horses balk at one obstacle or another the drop to the water, the steep scramble up the log steps, the teeter-totter platform.
If you go
Coming events: June 2, July 14, Sept. 1. Top Cowboy Champions Competition, Oct. 6.Rider fees: Expert, $20. Intermediate, $15.more Information: Highway 61, Cottageville. 835-2418 or www.horseshoelakefarm.com.
Or the steely ferocity in the eyes of Dusty, the American saddlebred who will take on the eventual champ.
Hell climb a tree if I ask him to, said owner David Stanfield.
Nope. The Horseshoe Lake Extreme Cowboy Competition is not your usual rodeo.
Its a timed obstacle course race through woods, field and lake with pits, hills, jumps, swims, log pulls and gates. It finishes with a flourish, target bow-shooting from the horse.
The first hint comes early, when riders at the start are greeted with the coyote-howl flute notes that open the classic Western The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.
The competition is edgy enough that riders can wear wetsuits, if they want. The horses just wear their pride.
The bond between horse and rider is everything. The animals are curious but skeptical and flighty, like the grazing prey they are in the wild.
Neither their eyesight nor their depth perception is as good as the riders. Even a shadow that moves across an obstacle is enough to make them queasy.
The rider needs to be confident and sensitive to the horses lack of confidence, said Rebecca Wilken of the Horseshoe Lake Saddle Club, one of the competition judges.
Thats the marvel of the event.
The horse will balk at some obstacle, and sometimes within 30 seconds, that horse and that rider will get a bond, and the horse will go right through, said John Hickman, who was helping with Saturdays race.
Extreme cowboy competitions were started a few years back by Texas Hall of Fame cowboy Craig Cameron. They are a play on the traditional, no-holds-barred cowboy race across open ranchland.
The races are developing a following throughout horse country, but are still rare in the Lowcountry.
The Horseshoe Lake version was launched this year, and literally by Dusty. Stanfield, who owns the lake ranch, kept putting his plucky horse through tougher and tougher field tests; Dusty kept acing them with a signature snort.
What the heck, Stanfield thought. Lets make it a race.
Hes filing paperwork to get the competition sanctioned by the Extreme Cowboy Association. Theres just one minor hitch: Some sanctioned races have relatively tame obstacles like opening a mailbox.
Were a little more maverick, Stanfield said with a wry, cowpoke grin.
This course here is really the real thing, more like how it would be back in the old days, said rider Tommy Rembert, as the 63-year-old saddled up.
Saturdays race was the third of six scheduled over the spring and summer, leading to a winners-only championship in October.
As a finale, that champion and horse take on Stanfield and Dusty.
See if they can best the horse and the guy who ride the course every day, Stanfield said with his grin.
Judges watch it all from a tower, with Stanfield at the loudspeaker calling out dry cowboy observations like thanking the gentleman when a horse nudges a gate closed as the female rider attempts to shut it.
Riders pay fees to compete in various categories. A trophy is the only payoff, but theres a lot more at stake.
Starlite bucked while Ely Archambault put her horse through a practice run, but the 9-year-old rider squared her jaw and spurred her horse into their first competition.
Woo hoo! whooped Christie Jones of Ridgeville, after Bellaza waded under the bridge through the cold shower spray for the first time.
Enter all who wish to be proven, the sign at the course entrance invites.
By the time the loudspeaker crackles with Gene Autry yodeling his way through Back in the Saddle Again, any proven cowboy is ready to yodel right along.

Her work has been referenced in The New York Times, Art Forum, and Art Papers, and is included in the 2016 Atlanta Biennial. Cathy was recently commissioned by the Congressional Club to create an art quilt for First Lady Michelle Obama. Cathy lives and maintains a studio in Columbus, Ga.
Opening Reception: Sept. 29

They love each other, don't talk down to people, don't complain and the mom doesn't force her kid into doing those pageants or things she doesn't want to do. Also, her kid isn't a ridiculous brat.
Maybe its just me.
I can't stand any of those "reality shows." If I want to watch how a real family lives, I'll watch my own.
I really don't get what makes them so bad. They are just people.
I highly doubt she is the only 6 year old in the world exposed to mt. dew and an energy drink.
Newsflash: no one gives a shit that you are now able to wear your vagina shorts to the gym. -CarbonCopy
I really don't think people are hung up on her drinking soda.
I think that's just one thing that stands out in regards to the pagents that some can shake their head at.
I'm pretty sure a good deal of the dislike tends to come from stereotypes about southern people. "Rednecks" "hicks" etc. I'm from New England...it's pretty common up here to get a lot of jokes about rednecks. I've heard from plenty of people that are from and live down south, that they view a lot of people from up north as rude etc.
So, I think perhaps people removed from that area of the country fall back on the stereotype that as soon as you hear that accent and then couple that with some things they do that others may view as inappropriate..you have a recipe for insults.

NEW BRUNSWICK — The president of the New Brunswick police union today issued a statement defending officers seen on a YouTube punching a Rutgers University student during an arrest earlier this month.
Detective Michael Sutton, president of PBA Local 23, said the union, "would like to reassure the public that the officers involved were well within the use of force guidelines set forth by the Attorney General's Office."
"The welfare of the public, as well as officer safety, is paramount and at time such tactics are lawful and necessary," Sutton said.
At 12:50 a.m. Feb. 6, police responded to a fight and found about 50 people outside an apartment house at Stone and Prosper streets. Police arrested two students, Elliot Marx, 20, of Lindenhurst, N.Y., and Joseph Keepers, 21, of Edison, authorities said.
While Keepers was charged as a disorderly person, Marx was charged with resisting arrested, aggravated assault on a police officer, obstructing police and having a fake identification.
Police said Marx jumped on the back of an officer who was arresting Keepers.
A video shot apparently from a nearby house shows Marx on the ground with four officers on top of him, and one officer punching him four times as other officers yell "stop resisting," and "give me your hand."
Marx, when reached two days later, said he was trying to help Keepers and did not realize it was a police officer on top of his friend. Marx said he was treated for cuts and bruises when he was taken to the Middlesex County jail in North Brunswick.
Sutton, in his statement today, said if Marx "simply complied with the officer's orders and directions, as did others involved as seen in the video, the officer's escalation of force would not have been necessary in order to effect the arrest."
Sutton said he was issuing the statement in response to criticism of the officers following the release of the video on YouTube.
He said the video, "showed only 1 minute, 43 seconds of a much longer altercation between the suspect, the victim of an assault, and the assault of a police officer."
New Brunswick police are still reviewing the case.
In a separate incident, two university students last week filed a federal suit against New Brunswick police, claiming officers beat them and ransacked their bedroom in a city apartment house during pre-dawn drug raid Dec. 10.
Jake Kostman, 20, of Stanhope and Kareem Najjar, 19, of Clfton, said plainclothes police busted open the door to their Somerset Street rental house, punched and kicked them and left them sitting on a couch handcuffed in their underwear for more than a hour with the door wide open.
Four other tenants in the house were arrested on drug charges, but Kostman and Najjar were released. They said they later sought treatment for their injuries. Kostman has since moved out of the house.
The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, which obtained the search warrant for the raid, is reviewing the two men's claims.

5 Things I Learned About Addiction After 5 Years Sober
#2. It's Easy to Burn Out on Your Hobbies
Digital Vision/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Boredom is a powerful sobriety killer. I talked about that in this article a couple of years ago. In it, I mentioned how important hobbies are because they keep your mind busy, distracting you from the ambush of cravings. For me, those hobbies were mainly writing (which led to this job) and video games (which keep me from doing this job efficiently).
What I didn't realize back then was that you have to be diverse in picking hobbies, because doing the same thing over and over will eventually lead to burnout. If you don't have a backup to keep you busy when you grow bored of one activity, you're going to stray into "what if" territory. "Man, I've been sober for four years. Drinking just this one time isn't going to re-addict me." It's your mind's way of trying to fill that "I have to be doing something right goddamn now" hole, and if you're not careful, you will fill it with old habits.
John Howard/Photodisc/Getty Images
His addiction is obviously pouring juice way too high while wearing stupid outfits.
For me, that meant having multiple video games at the ready. If I got burned out on World of Warcraft, I could switch over to Civilization or Boner Jousting 9. If I got bored with video games entirely, I'd have a few different TV shows on standby so I could flop on the couch and relive those awesome moments where Sylar would cut the top of someone's head off while Claire whined about how bad her life is because she's immortal. Or I'd do real-life boner jousting, using my wife as my horse.
But you have to have lots and lots of things to do. Fun things. Awesome, rewarding things that don't feel like work. If you have to, use some of that money you're saving from no longer buying recreational poison. At first, you'll feel guilty buying or doing fun things just for yourself. You're used to sacrificing your time and money to the addiction and putting your real life on hold. But as you get deeper and deeper into sobriety, you'll understand that it's not only a good rule of thumb, but absolutely necessary for your mental survival.
John Howard/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Addiction status: Cured, bitches.
#1. When People Stop Giving a Shit, It's a Good Thing
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
So after all this, there's a pinnacle moment where the whole world looks at you and collectively rolls its eyes. It's how I imagine Morgan Freeman's character felt at the end of The Shawshank Redemption -- total freedom wrapped in a thin film of "Shit, now what?"
You get this feeling from family members first, because they're close enough to you that their filters for protecting your feelings are thinner. They'll ask how you're doing, and since you've been open about your recovery, you'll launch into that subject. Why not? It's a direct, honest answer to their question. Four sentences in, you catch a subtle sigh from one of them, followed by a thinly veiled look that says, "Christ, not this again." At that moment, you realize they're finally seeing you as just another normal person.

"Wait, did you just say 'normal'?"
That's what every addict is fighting for. We're not looking for medals, pats on the back, or even sympathy. We just want to be like every other person who doesn't have to put up with this mind-wrecking bullshit every day of their lives.
It's not a small deal for us. That journey takes goddamn ages to complete. We go from self-destruction to self-hatred. Shame, anger, extreme pain, breakdowns ... people view us as weak children devoid of willpower. People feel sorry for us, blame us, denounce us. Small towns and tight communities shun us from jobs and social functions because they assume we're trouble. But that day when people stop giving a shit is pure gold. "Yeah, we get it. You used to be an addict. Now you're not. Welcome to the adult world, pal. Now kindly suck all of our dicks, because we don't care."

"By the way, the line for whiny pussies starts over there."
It's a long, hard fight, but I'm telling you that if you have a legitimate problem, the journey is totally worth it. And remember that you're always welcome in that thread I mentioned earlier. Here it is again, if you're too lazy to scroll back to it. They'll support you when you need it and call you on your bullshit just the same, because they know what you're going through. But that rooftop wrestling thing? You might want an actual professional to help you out with that one. That's just fucking weird, dude.

But why a chocolate festival in Hamilton? On September 27, 1955, a train was diverted from the main track, causing it to speed through a coal shed and crash to the ground. The good news was that no one was injured and the great news was that Nestle' Crunch Bars, Chocolate Chips and Nestle' Quik were spilled everywhere! Children rushed to the scene of "The Chocolate Wreck" to snatch up all the chocolate they could!
Chocolate and trains are the main themes of this FREE event, which provides tons of family fun and artistic, cultural, and educational entertainment.

This weekend I was reminded how lucky we are to live on a tiny island in the middle of the vast Pacific that holds such a rich, dense spectrum of opportunities to be entertained and enriched. On Friday night, Maui Academy of Performing Arts' production, "The Secret Life of Girls," moved me to tears. Then, at the Maui Theatre Sunday night, comedian Paul Rodriguez made me laugh so hard I cried. I may have messed up my make-up, but it was all worth it. That's what the arts are for - eliciting emotion, release and, often, serious reflection.
In one of the most poignant moments of "The Secret Life of Girls," MAPA's production at the Steppingstone Playhouse, Abby, the play's central character, makes a "late New Year's resolution" to find herself again. One-by-one, the other young women follow suit: "I resolve to not gossip or spread rumors." "I resolve to be kind to others." "I resolve to be kind to myself." Each time one of the adolescent characters announces her personal resolution, a childhood photo flashes on the screen behind her. And there it is. Her delicate, unabashed soul - unsullied. What happens to that little girl when she passes through the threshold of adolescence? How can we adults help ensure that she emerges on the other end, intact and ready for the challenges and adventures of adulthood?
"The Secret Life of Girls" offers a snapshot of girl bullying so real we feel as if the characters could be any one of our daughters, sisters, nieces, friends - even ourselves. The dialogue and physical interplay are spot-on for the target audience and the play never wavers from its purpose: to show exactly what girl bullying looks and feels like and warn of its damaging effects. It's a physical as well as a multimedia spectacle. The girls are all on a volleyball team and they actually serve, set and spike right there onstage. The visual backdrop - which displays texts, photos, e-mails and instant messages - glosses the action, and the soundtrack had some opening-night audience members boogying in their seats. The emotion builds, little-by-little, as the devastating effects of careless gossip, exclusion and teasing are revealed. We are affected as we see the formerly carefree, upbeat Abby descend into depression and the bully, Stephanie, cry out for help. By the play's end we vow to assess our own behavior and help stop the cycle.

Comic Paul Rodriguez had the crowd howling at the Celebrity Series at Lahaina's Maui Theatre on Sunday.
* "The Secret Life of Girls" is presented by the Maui Academy of Performing Arts at the Steppingstone Playhouse in Queen Ka'ahumanu Center at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for seniors and students, available through the MAPA box office, 244-8760, ext. 228 and at the customer service kiosk in Ka'ahumanu's center court.
Paul Rodriguez is a physical comic. Last Sunday night he worked the Lahaina Theatre stage, morphing into a throng of characters: Mom and Pop Rodriguez, Queen Isabella, Columbus and his sex-starved crew, an out-of-work gringo accountant sneaking across the border into Mexico, a terrified Briton warning his son away from the edge of the earth, an amorous Japanese couple.
After opening acts by singer/producer Brian Evans and Maui comedians King Martin and Curtis "Chino" LaForge, Rodriguez was edgy and self-deprecating, lamenting his slide into the backside of 50 and the fallout from his two divorces ("I should just cut to the chase, find a beautiful woman I hate and give her a house.") The audience responded raucously. A persistent but good-natured heckler inspired Rodriguez to open up a can of improvisational whoop-ass. His coup-de-gras ("Thanks, but I think I got it from here") elicited lengthy, spirited applause.
It's always amazing to witness a seasoned comic (Rodriguez has been named one of the top 100 comics of all time) bring up the energy in the house and keep it there for 90 minutes. At one point he encouraged the audience to take a moment, turn to the person next to them and just say, "hi." We did it. And we all walked out talking to strangers - as if they were old friends - about what a great show it was.
* Next, the Maui Celebrity Series at Lahaina's Maui Theatre welcomes comic David Spade, who performs with Evans at 9 p.m. April 30. For information call 856-7973 or log onto www.groovetickets.com.
* The 18th annual Celebration of the Arts at The Ritz Carlton, Kapalua. This Maui tradition highlights native Hawaiian culture and the arts. Interactive activities for children and adults include: pohaku (lava stone) carving, jewelry making and pa'u drum carving. Don't miss the music, dance, luau, informative presentations - and even an Easter egg hunt for the keiki. For more information on this incomparable event, April 2 and 3, call the Celebration hotline: 665-7296. (Related story This Week at a Glance)
* "His Hands: The Musical." This theatrical presentation of the traditional Easter story returns to King's Cathedral/First Assembly in Kahului, at 7 p.m. April 2, 3 and 4.

What's in a name: Tracy Road
Where is it?
Tracy/Tracy Keepville Road, between the Ohio-Pennsylvania state line and Barney Road, is in western Conneaut Township.
What's the story?
The truth about Tracy Road might lie only a few miles away in Pennside. John Avery Tracy, 1820-1893, came to Erie from Connecticut with his parents and siblings in 1833.
He initially worked as a carpenter in Erie, then moved on to other business ventures.
During his career, he opened a paper mill and a lumber and sawmill, went into the mercantile trade and banking, and managed a coal company.
After buying hundreds of acres for a stock farm, he established the village of Pennside, located in the southeastern part of Conneaut Township, close to the Erie-Crawford County border.

Tiffin-Northern Michigan updates
September 13, 2008 - Zach Baker
Northern Michigan at Tiffin
Pregame thoughts: It's been a rainy morning and afternoon here in Tiffin, so we'll see how that affects the Dragons' spread offense.
Northern Michigan is a dome team, so it will be interesting to see how the Wildcats adjust to he conditions.
The Wildcats are in white uniforms, green numerals, yellow pants, yellow helmets. Tiffin is a again in its green tops, white numerals, gold helmets, gold pants.
Northern Michigan's campus is a good 10 hour drive from Tiffin, and the announcers next to me say the Wildcats are going back tonight. Ouch.
First Quarter
- On a third and six, quarterback Matt Root throws to Cameron Mobley. Mobley is hit after three yards, but he staggers and maintains balence for an eight yard gain. But Root's throws on the next three plays are nearly picked off, and TU is forced to punt. Drew Douthit makes his punting debut. The snap is really low, but Douthit, a usual linebacker, handles the snap and get off a decent kick, about 44 yards.
That's the first time this season the Dragons have been kept out of the end zone on their opening possession.
Dragons will get the ball first.
- The Dragons force NMU into a third and 10, but Ben Hempel completes a 28-yard pass to Fred Wells to move the Wildcats. 11:02 remains.
- After the Wildcats move to the Dragons 35, they are faced with their second third and 10. A hold on a screen makes it third and 13. Hempel's pass is intercepted by Arthur Allen, his second of the season. Allen returns the ball to the TU 46.
- Facing a third and eight from the 49, Root's pass is tipped, setting up another Douthit punt. Actually, Dragons look to go for it. Root backs up for what appears to be a quick kick, but the snap is over his head. Root recovers and punts for all of 2 yards. The woes continue on special teams.
-Very next play, NMU fumbles, and TU's Parris Burt recovers.
- Root completes a 14-yard pass to Greg Raspberry over the middle.TU keeps marching into Wildcats territory. Root converts a third and long to Alvin McKnight, who takes the ball to the NMU 25. Root follws that with a 13-yard slant to Mike Lento.
It should be noted that TU is going away from the spread, with Root taking the ball under center at times.
- A Root sneak sets up TU with a first down at the one. Two weeks ago, Root fumbled. This week, he takes a high snap from the shotgun and gets sacked at the 10. The snaps have been a problem for Tiffin this year. On third and 10, Root takes another high snap and throws to the left corner to Raspberry at the 1. On fourth and goal, Root bootlegs out to the right and tosses to McKnight for the score. New place kicker Dennis Kroeze (with a new number) converts the extra point, to make it 7-0.
Tiffin 7, Northern Michigan 0, 2:48.
- NMU gets good field position after a pop-up kick, but a personal foul on the Wildcats set them back to the TU 34 with a second and 25. On third and 23, Hempel finds Wells down the right sideline. Wells was covered by Chris Evans, but Evans broke off to try to know down the ball. That gives Wells the separation to go 64 yard-TD.
That's a killer, because it was third and 23. Kick is good.
Tiffin 7, Northern Michigan 7, 1:16.
- On second and six, the shotgun snap goes over Root's head. That's the second time that's happened today. Root scrambles to get the ball, and completes a five-yard pass to Trey Williams. Some of TU's best offensive plays come when everything breaks down. The first quarter ends.
End of first quarter
Tiffin 7, NMU 7
Second quarter
- Dragons pick up a first down, but on the next play, another snap goes over Root's head and he loses 18. Lento gets it all back with a reception over the middle. Another pass o Lento sets up a fourth and two. With the punting what it has been, coach Dave Walkosky goes for it from his own 48. Root scrambles for the first down.
On a third and 22 after the penalty, Joe Maynard's snap is high again, and TU is forced to punt. Drew Douthit fakes the punt, and comes up short on a run. It's getting to the point where the Dragons seem almost afraid to punt. It's hard to blame them.
- NMU starts close to midfield with 10:47 left. If the Dragons continue to struggle on special teams, and can't get consistent snaps, it's hard to see how they can win.
- Dragons' defense forces a fourth and three from the 46. The Wildcats' Mark Bossuah picks it up with a run.
- Wyatt Thames sacks Matt Blanchard, eventually setting up a third and 17. Make it fourth and 12 after a short completion. The ball's at TU's 32. Douthit chases Blanchard all the way back to midfield and sacks him for an 18-yard loss.
-TU ball at midfield with 6:18 left.
- On a second down, Jon Hemmelgarn fumbles the ball and the Wildcats recover. (5:31).
- Hempel throws a pass over the top to Dan Elmore for a 43-yard TD pass. Kick is good.
Northern Michigan 14, Tiffin 7, 3:42 left.
-TU starts at the 33 with 3:35 left in the half. Dragins go three and out, and Douthit is set to punt. It's a great kick, back to the 17. Douthit has made two good punt in a row. (2:18).
-Wyatt Thames gets another sack. With a minute left, NMU has a third and six at the TU 33. NMU converts and moves into TU territory. Thames and Burt get another sack. Apenalty on NMU effectively ends the half.
NMU 14, Tiffin 7
Halftime thoughts:
In the last few weeks, special teams has killed Tiffin. This week, it's been big plays allowed by the defense and bad shotgun snaps from Maynard to Root.
Root has 117 yards passing at the break, but the running game is non-existent for the Dragons.
Third Quarter
- Wildcats get the ball first at their 32. It takes two plays for NMU to move into Tiffin territory. But the defense and sets up an apparent punt from the Dragons' 40. Dragons take over at the 17.
- The snaps are getting better, and Root moves the Dragons to midfield. Finally, the running game picks up, as Mobley breaks a few decent runs.On a third down, Root finds Dyshuan Edwards for a 27-yard completion. Dragons at the 10. Root throws a strike to Raspberry for the score. Raspberry made a one-handed catch. He's turning into a star. Kick by Kroeze ties it with less than eight minutes left.
-Drew Douthit sack on third down sets up a Wildcat punt. Momentum, Tiffin. Punt goes out of bounds at Dragon 40 (5:13).
-Dragons move into NMU territory on a reverse to Edwards, then the receiver catches a 20-yard pass from Root. Dragons have the ball at the Wildcat 30. Third and nine coming up. Huge play. Root loops a pass to Williams at the NMU 17 for the first down.Root moves under center, and just misses Lento in the left corner of the end zone on first down. He had it go off his fingertips. Root finds Edwards on the next play. It's third and one from the seven. Timeout Dragons (2:08).
Hemmelgarn reception puts the ball at the four. Two incompletions set up third down. Mobley gets three yards to the one. Fourth down. Root in the shotgun, fires to Edwards for the TD (:36). Big extra point by Kroeze is good.
Tiffin 21, Northern Michigan 14, :36.
-Special teams has been much better. NMU starts at 21. TU's rushing defense has also stepped up.
End of third quarter.
Tiffin 21, Northern Michigan 14.
Fourth quarter
-Third and 15 for NMU from the 16. Pass is incomplete, and the Wildcats have to punt again. That's three possessions, three punts for NMU in the second half. Punt is shanked and travels just 19 yards. Dragons take over at the 35.
-Mobley runs 13 to the NMU 21. Third and long from the 20. The pass is incomplete, but a pass interference flag is dropped, then picked up. Fourth and eight. Root's pass to Raspberry is incomplete, and the Wildcats take over. (12:27).
- NMU faces a third and 13 from the 30. A shovel pass to the fullback comes up short, and the Wildcats punt again. Edwards returns the kick to the Dragons 22 A blocking penalty moves the ball to the 12. (10:32)
- Third and six from the 15. Throw is incomplete, but NMU is called for roughing the passer. First down at the 32. (9:02)
Lento catches a tipped pass at midfield. If nothing else, the field position has changed. That personal foul was huge. Third and three from the 43. Lento drops a third-down pass. TU is forced to punt. (6:55) The punt goes for a touchback.
- Third and one at 29 with 6:19 left. An incompletion makes it a fourth and one, and Maurice Williams just gets the first down. (5:53).
- Third and four from the 36. A completion to Bossuah sets up a first down at the 46.

JP Duminy out for up to six months after rupturing Achilles during run with Proteas teammates
- From: AAP
- November 09, 2012
An almost perfect day for South Africa was marred after stumps by a training mishap which has left JP Duminy out of the Test series and facing a six-month spell on the sidelines.
After enjoying the rub of the green to take a vice-like grip on the three-Test series opener, South Africa's luck took a spectacular turn for the worse when Duminy suffered a post-stumps accident and was taken to hospital with an injured left ankle.
The blow occurred during a fitness training drill after the opening day, with MRI scans confirming a ruptured Achilles.
Team Manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee said: "At first assessment JP said he heard a loud clicking sound and it felt like he had been hit by an object. The diagnosis of an Achilles' tendon rupture was confirmed by the MRI scan this evening and he will undergo surgery to reattach the tendon on Saturday morning.
"Injuries of this nature are caused by a sudden contraction against the direction of movement by the calf muscle as was the case during his sprint.
"We will only be able to gauge further down the line on an expected recovery date, but injuries of this nature have been known to take up to at least six months before the player can resume playing cricket.
"He is obviously disappointed, but JP being JP, is trying his best to stay positive, he says everything happens for a reason."
Duminy will not feature in the rest of the match, with 12th man Francois du Plessis assuming fielding duties. He will return back to South Africa as soon as possible with a replacement to be named in due course.
It potentially throws a spanner in the works for world No.1 South Africa who wanted to utilise Duminy's off-spin after cutting leggie Imran Tahir and opting for a four-pronged pace attack.
Until then all the luck had gone the Proteas' way as Hashim Amla (90 not out) and Jacques Kallis (84 not out) took charge after both receiving lives.
Kallis began to trudge off when he top-edged a catch off fast bowler Peter Siddle (0-58) on 43, only to be called back when replays revealed a no-ball.
And Siddle was again left ruing his fortunes when he dropped a caught-and-bowled chance offered by Amla on 74.
Alviro Petersen played down the potential disruption to South Africa's bowling stocks and showed faith in their pace attack, featuring Test debutant Rory Kleinveldt.
"We are pretty comfortable with our bowling attack,'' he said.
While Australia opted for three quicks and spinner Nathan Lyon - who nabbed Petersen for 64 on Friday - the Proteas surprised by ditching Tahir.
"We thought Rory could offer some more on that wicket. It wasn't as hard as we thought it could be and it probably lessens the load on (all-rounder) Jacques Kallis.
"We thought Australia's got enough left-handers for JP to play a role with the ball if needed.''
Petersen put on a brave face when reminded of the lazy loft to mid-on that ended his promising innings and a 90-run second-wicket stand with Amla.
"I would probably play that shot again but maybe next time I would be more decisive by hitting it into the stands,'' he said.
The prolific Amla passed 5000 Test runs during his 205-ball, five-hour knock featuring six fours and a six, ensuring he averages 50.55 in his 64th Test.
He found a perfect foil in Kallis who thumped eight fours and a six in his 136-ball, three-hour effort. They have put on 136 runs for the third wicket.

Well gang, here we are again with a team who for all intents and purposes is out of post season competition with 7 games to be played. How we play the next 7 games will have a bearing on what happens next season. Last season, Holmgren refused to play younger players (unless he had no choice) and played to win the remaining games by playing all the veterans he had available. The fact that it was his last season might have had something to do with that stance but for Jim Mora, next season will be even more important that this one was to his career.
We all had the debate last year over whether it was better to try to win all the games you could at the end of this season as a sort of bridge to next season with the thinking that such momentum carries over. The other train of thought is that you're better off playing younger players who don't have much game experience and next season you will have gained much by the fact that you have more players with game experience. Make no mistake about it, game experience brings a player along faster by far than any other single method but those players are less likely to win games now.
Last year there was an article here on SA which I can't find right now but it revealed a detailed study of just those two trains of thought. It was found out that teams who won their last two or three games and built momentum for next season didn't fare as well as those who played their younger players and ended up with a more experienced team the following season even though they didn't win as many games. The difference was substantial and virtually all the teams who had big turnarounds except one if I remember correctly did so with more experienced players who got that experience at the end of the previous season when their team was out of the playoffs.
Some of our players got that kind of experience particularly offensive linemen when our veteran players went on IR and Holmgren had no choice but to play them. Vallos, Williams, Wrotto, Adams, and Hawthorne all got valuable experience at the end of last season to name a few and all of them lauded the experience as a huge stepping stone in their ability to come in this season and view the game from a more veteran status. Most of them said the game had slowed down for them and they felt better prepared and ready to compete coming into training camp at the start of this season.
Mora has a chance to get players like Schmitt, Butler, Forsett, Rankin, Obomanu, Teel, Morrah, Reed, and Walker some valuable game experience this season which could propel some of those players to challenge for a starting spot or first line backup position next season instead of getting a little bit of game time here and there over the next two or three seasons and taking that long to develop into a useful player. I think it would be a great idea to give Teel some game time in the fourth quarters and see if we need to draft a quarterback of the future or if we have him already on the roster. You can find out faster and with a higher level of confidence that what you're seeing is real if Teel's playing against real competition in real games.
Of course, playing the younger guys means that Seattle will probably lose more games than if we play our best players every game. That's the trade off this season. We all know the silver lining in that scenario is that we end up with a better draft choice if that happens as well as having players who may help us next season versus taking longer to get their NFL legs under them. However, what some see as a win/win situation is repugnant to others because we may lose another game or two that we could have won and they see that as tanking the game even if all the players are giving it their all to win but lose because they are outmatched.
So how do you Addicts feel about the practice of giving younger players significant game time in preparation for next season? How bothered would you be at this point if Teel came into the game in the fourth quarter with the team leading by a touchdown and lost the game through throwing a pick due to inexperience? That might be exactly what Teel needed to learn to avoid that throw in the future but at the expense of a win in a season where all the post season opportunities are already lost anyway. Could you live with that? Are we under an obligation to try to win every game we can for the rest of this season regardless of the lack of preparation that may provide for next season or are we only under the obligation to try our damndest to win every game we can with the personnel we choose to play knowing that we are preparing players for the following season where we still have a chance at the playoffs? What does your rightness/wrongness meter say on that decision?
A lot of us didn't believe that we would be in this stiuation again this season but here we are anyway. Injury played a big part again in us getting to where we are at the present time but we all saw the team minus Walt Jones last Sunday that Mora and Ruskell built coming out of training camp perform against Arizona and despite a good showing in the first half, overall, we can all agree that we're not there yet. One thing we need for sure are a handful of players to upgrade the offensive line, the defensive line and defensive backfield problems. The other thing that couldn't hurt would be to give our younger unproven players a chance to develop into players quicker who will give Seattle the talent needed to turn the corner.

Miami Gardens hires new police chief
4/10/2014, 9 a.m.
North Miami's City Manager Stephen Johnson has been hired to lead the police force in Miami Gardens as residents pressure city leaders to address recent incidents of gun violence that have claimed innocent lives.
Johnson has served for 30 years in North Miami, a city also beset with crime, but dramatically less than Miami Gardens, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Miami Gardens had a total of 2,735 crimes last year compared to North Miami which had 1,645, statistics show. The total number of violent crimes were also higher in Miami Gardens , according to reports on the department's website.Johnson comes to Miami Gardens as violent crimes continue to rock the city.
The latest involved Qualecia Jones, a 21-year old pregnant woman who was killed March 30 after being shot in a car as it headed north on NW 32nd Avenue. So far, no arrests have been made.
Johnson's appointment comes nearly four months after former police chief Matthew Boyd retired from the post amid widespread criticism over the city's controversial zero tolerance policy that involved police arresting and allegedly harassing residents for no reason at the Quick Stop convenience store. The incidents were captured on video tape, where police can be seen pushing and shoving customers up against a wall like hardened criminals.
Deputy chief Paul Miller, who served as interim chief, resigned in February.
The department has been without a top chief since then.

Anthony Isaac Perez writes that he created 'Urban Heroes Art & Advocacy' as his project in Landmark Education's Self-expression and leadership program. The organization is dedicated to educating and inspiring youth by empowering their artistic self-expression. Urban Heroes provides art programs which include mural making and alternative street art.
Earlier this year the first fundraiser for the group was held. Titled 'Paint my Town with Heroes', the event, held at the El Fandango restaurant in San Diego, used $40 tickets and a silent auction to raise money, and engaged in a conversation with attendees using visual media to explore what the program can provide for the community.
In addition to art techniques, Urban Heroes programs are about children having the leadership skills to create murals that enhance their communities. Find out more at the Urban Heroes blog.

Rob Cohen, Vin Diesel, Asia Argento, Marton Csokas
Move over, Bond, there's a new spy in town, and he's not worried about qualifying for a license to kill. Vin Diesel, the new millennium's most unlikely leading man, plays the new millennium's most unlikely secret agent in XXX, a lightning-paced, action-packed thriller with more stunts and explosions per reel than any movie we've seen in a long time. Diesel is Xander Cage, an extreme-sports daredevil forcibly recruited by government operative Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) to infiltrate a terrorist band operating in Prague. Cage's assignment: to find and destroy the deadly new nerve gas being developed by scientists working for the ruthless Yorgi (Marton Csokas), a former Soviet soldier who plans to throw the entire world into chaos. Sultry Asia Argento sizzles as Yelena, a sweetheart of Yorgi's with schemes of her own. Diesel's rough-edged, downright thuggish charm makes him well suited for the starring role. Cage is an act-first, think-later kind of guy with no use for rules and no respect for authority -- in other words, just the agent you want inside a group of self-described nihilists. Rob Cohen, who directed Diesel in The Fast and the Furious, satisfies action lovers by keeping his brawny star in almost constant motion, rewarding Diesel fans with frequent glimpses of Xander sans shirt. The elaborate and inventive action sequences -- almost too numerous to count -- supply an adrenaline-fueled rush that'll grab you in the first reel and hold you until the final credits roll. If you like your spy movies with complicated story lines, surprising plot twists, and witty repartee, XXX is unlikely to satisfy you. If, however, you prefer nonstop stunts and thrills of the most visceral kind, this is definitely the film to have. For the DVD version, Cohen supplies commentary both during the film and for a number of deleted scenes; the disc also offers a music video and a behind-the-scenes featurette, "Building Speed: The Vehicles of XXX."

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
After one very productive season at Mississippi State, Arnett Moultrie is turning pro.
The 6-foot-11 forward said Wednesday that he will forego his senior season and enter the NBA Draft, where analysts are projecting him as a late first-round selection. The decision came after Moultrie met with athletics director Scott Stricklin on Wednesday morning.
Moultrie hasn't yet signed with an agent but expects to soon. Once he fills out the draft paperwork, there's no turning back, because he declared for the draft in 2010 as well, while playing for UTEP.
NCAA rules state that a player who declares twice for the draft in a career is ineligible to play college ball again. Moultrie is expected to do the paperwork next week.
"I have enjoyed my time at Mississippi State University, and I will never forget the people I met and got to know," Moultrie said in a statement. "Nor will I ever forget my coaches and teammates. Keep me in your prayers, and I will keep Bulldog Nation in mine."
Moultrie did not return messages seeking further comment, nor did Stricklin. In his statement, Moultrie said he consulted with his family and coaches before making the decision.
The NCAA allows players to wait until April 10 to declare for the draft. The NBA's deadline isn't until April 29.
After two seasons at UTEP, the Memphis product transferred to MSU. He had to sit out his first year on campus, per NCAA rules, but then made a splash once he took the court.
Moultrie averaged 16.4 points – second in the SEC – and a league-leading 10.5 rebounds per game. His 18 double-doubles led the SEC. In his final college game, Moultrie scored a career-high 34 points in a first-round NIT loss to Massachusetts.
His departure is not unexpected. Moultrie's stock has risen rapidly since donning an MSU uniform, and there's more room for growth. Chad Ford, an NBA Draft analyst for ESPN.com, said Moultrie could be considered underrated.
During a live chat Wednesday, Ford wrote, "I think there is a lot of distaste for Mississippi State and that's coloring his draft stock. If he did what he did this year at Kansas or Syracuse or Georgetown, he'd be a lot higher on our Big Board. Once he gets into workouts and gets that Mississippi State jersey off, he could really rise."
Moultrie is the third player this week to leave the program early. On Monday, junior forward Renardo Sidney decided to leave early and go pro, and freshman guard DeVille Smith left the team with the intent to transfer to either Jackson State or a junior college.

Antoine Dodson joining other YouTube stars for new movie
NEW YORK (AP) — A collection of Internet stars from Antoine Dodson to the Double Rainbow Guy are making a movie.
Producer Andrew Fischer has gathered more than a half-dozen YouTube stars for "The Chronicles of Rick Roll." He is shooting the film and has released a trailer online. The 26-year-old Fischer calls it an "epic comedy."
The film stars Dodson, known for the Bed Intruder Song, Bear Vasquez ("Double Rainbow Guy"), Brian Collins ("Boom Goes the Dynamite"), Ben Schulz ("Leeroy Jenkins"), Gary Brolsma ("Numa Numa"), and Stephen and Jack Quire ("Greatest Freakout Ever"). Together they account for hundreds of millions of YouTube views.
Although the film's title refers to the misleading Rick Astley Internet meme, Fischer says the film is authentic.
"The next trailer will show that it's not just some giant elaborate prank," Fischer says.
The film is being shot on hi-definition digital. Fischer hopes for a theatrical release, but has not secured distribution. The Colorado-based marketing firm NURV, of which Fischer is CEO, is producing the film.
"Our goal is to utilize the fan base and the celebrity status that these household names have, even though they're not in Hollywood, in order to produce something that maybe changes the way Hollywood looks at casting," says Fischer.
Fischer says he would welcome cameos from more Internet stars.

Well, baby, when times are bad
Call on me darling, and I'll come to you
When you're in trouble and feel so sad
Call on me darling, honey, call on me, and I'll help you
A man and a woman have each other, baby
To find their way in this world
I need you darling, like the fish need the sea
Don't take your sweet, sweet love from me
Darling, when you're down and feel so blue
No, you won't drown, honey no, you won't, honey, I'll be there too
You're not alone, honey, I'm there too
Whatever your troubles are, honey, I don't care
Man and a woman have each other, baby
To find their way in this world
I need you darling, like the fish need the sea
Don't take your sweet, sweet love from me
And now I will please, when you're so sad
Call on me, darling, just call on me

In the Bivens' living room sits a cardboard chariot.
Its color is unmistakably Barbie. Hot pink, in fact.
The Bivenses are putting the finishing touches on the Barbie Dream Car sled that will fly down the hill behind Jackson Christian Elementary School in the annual Groundhog Derby on Saturday. Brad and Danielle Bivens' oldest daughters, Celia, 8, and Ella, 6, will be riding in it.
Once completed, the sled will have cardboard windshield wipers, wheels, seats and a duct tape gear shifter. It will be one of many sleds made by Jackson Christian families in the annual derby.
Jackson Christian Elementary School Principal Aaron Metzcar said of the 150 or so students at the school, most are involved in the race, and about 50 sleds are made and compete each year. The school has held the event for at least the past eight years, he said, and while it serves to bring the school community together, the derby also benefits the Jackson community.
All competitors in the race will put their sleds on display at school the week prior to the derby, and students vote for their favorite by dropping pennies in a container at each sled.
Before the race, penny totals are tallied and the winner gets a trophy. The proceeds go toward the Jackson Legacy Fund, which provides college scholarships to county high school students, Metzcar said.
Metzcar said some of the most memorable sleds were Noah's arc, an octopus and a battleship, but he's always surprised by what the students create.
The Bivenses built the Barbie Dream Car sled large enough to fit their entire family of six, including two younger daughters.
But only Celia and Ella will be racing down the hill at school.
Saturday will be the third time the Bivens girls will compete, but they put more work into this year's sled than the previous two. Danielle Bivens said that's because they learned their lesson the first year they competed when they made an "understated" white cardboard box with a few colored accents the girls painted on.
"The first year, we were clueless," she said. "We didn't know sleds were as elaborate as they are."
The girls are going for speed this year, because they figure a Barbie car won't get many penny votes from the boys.
Brad Bivens said at least five families they know will compete in the same category, which is a group division for friends or siblings who want to race together.
Celia said she thinks the stiffest competition will come from the Jacobs family. They plan to send their boys downhill in a "vintage snow-mobile," she said.
"Watch out, 'cause here comes the Barbie car," said Celia, in her toughest voice as a warning to all competitors.
Aside from the friendly competition, Brad Bivens said it's a nice way to bring the community together.
"It's something that I don't think we could get at a larger school," he said. "It's a tight-knit community.
"We look out for each other's kids."

The 7-Day Allergy Makeoverby Susanne Bennett
A top allergy specialist provides a simple holistic program that helps a broad range of allergy sufferers heal themselves naturally. THE 7 DAY ALLERGY MAKEOVER is written for people who want to take an active role in their own healing. The book lays out action-oriented, step-by-step instructions on uncovering the root cause of allergies, and makes simple but specific changes that can stop allergy symptoms from recurring. What began as a mother's desperation to save her son has led to a comprehensive program that helps a broad range of allergy sufferers heal themselves naturally. As an allergy specialist, Dr. Susanne Bennett sees roughly 100 patients a week, from children to movie stars. They come to her after exhausting every resource: doctors, medicines, creams, shots, you name it. They suffer from hives, sneezing, headaches, asthma, muscle aches, swelling and digestive problems, and more. THE 7 DAY ALLERGY MAKEOVER, based on 23 years of Dr. Bennett's clinical experience, is an easy-to-implement and transformational plan for eliminating allergies from your life forever. Each chapter in THE 7 DAY ALLERGY MAKEOVER focuses on a different aspect of health and environment for a person suffering from allergies--nutrition, air quality, living environment, water, body hygiene, and emotional and mental stresses.
Adult Attachment in Clinical Social Workby Judith Kay Nelson Susanne Bennett
The applicability of attachment theory and research to social work and social policy relating to infants and children is well-established. Yet, its usefulness for enhancing the understanding of adults and their needs, both individually and as a group, has been less featured in the attachment literature. Adult Attachment in Clinical Social Work Practice is a wide-ranging look at attachment theory and research, its application to adults, and its natural fit with the social work profession. This edited volume covers the applicability of adult attachment theory to the clinical social work profession's various domains that include human behavior, practice, policy, research, and social work education. It addresses the broad spectrum of clinical social work, including practice in a variety of public and private settings and with a number of diverse populations, including racial-ethnic groups, gays and lesbians, trauma survivors, and child welfare parents. The book highlights the underemphasized contribution of the social work profession to the development of attachment theory and research.

In the Open Internet NPRM, the Commission proposed that open Internet rules be subject to reasonable network management, consisting of "reasonable practices employed by a provider of broadband Internet access service to:(3) prevent the transfer of unlawful content; or (4) prevent the unlawful transfer of content."
However, as explained in the Open Internet NPRM and subsequent Public Notice, mobile broadband presents special considerations that suggest differences in how and when open Internet protections should apply... Moreover, most consumers have more choices for mobile broadband than for fixed (particularly fixed wireline) broadband... In addition, existing mobile networks present operational constraints that fixed broadband networks do not typically encounter. This puts greater pressure on the concept of "reasonable network management" for mobile providers.

Susie Alice Smart, 99, of Amarillo died Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2003.
Graveside services will be at 11 a.m. Friday in Tucumcari Memorial Cemetery in Tucumcari, N.M., with Bill Johnston officiating. Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Monday in St. Luke Presbyterian Church with Dr. Pat Kennedy officiating. Arrangements are by Schooler Funeral Home, 4100 S. Georgia St.
