It may be considered the worst tornado outbreak for the month of March on record -- 140 twisters reported, 76 confirmed on the ground, leaving 39 people dead.
However, in the midst of those killer storms, there are stories of faith and survival.
Cleanup for residents of tornado-pummeled towns in the Midwest and South remains challenging as snow has blanketed many crushed houses in Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
"Like a one-two punch, right here in the middle of all this," said one survivor of the tornado that struck Salyersville, Ky.
"We lived through the tornado. We'll live through this snow," another survivor said, chuckling.
In Harrisburg, Ill., where CBN's Operation Blessing International teams are deployed, some residents discovered that picking up debris from the violent storm may help them heal.
"You want it to go away. You want to clean up," said one resident.
Pushing through the cleanup process is helping survivors cope, along with hearing stories of several miracles that happened during the storms.
In Dallas County, Mo., the Schleuning family survived after being tossed from their mobile home by a tornado. As the family recovers from its injuries, Cody Schleuning found something priceless.
"An engagement ring I gave my wife ten years ago," he said.
In Mecklenburg County, N.C., two members of one family survived after being thrown from their home.
"The top half of the house, when it came off, it took him with it and he was actually over the back fence here that separates the house from Highway 45," Clarence Gray explained.
The force of a tornado sucked out Gray's nephew and nieces from their beds, one landing near the interstate behind their house. They walked away with just some bumps and bruises.
Doctors from other floors came to their hospital room just to see them and gave them a special nickname.
"They looked at them, and they couldn't believe it," a reporter said. "They called them 'miracle babies.'"
"I'd rather see those injuries anytime of the day other than what could have happened. If God blesses you like this, this mess is nothing compared to having family," Gray said.
Charlotte Hall cried out to God for protection. She is still standing, along with her house, and talked about her faith with a reporter.
"Because I knew that it would work," she said.
In Henryville, Ind., a church is overflowing with donations. Clothes and food are piling up for people who have lost so much.
"We know everybody and when something happens, we all pull together," one resident said.
And yet another story of survival and a mother's love. Two children escaped injury when their mother shielded them with her body during a tornado in Marysville, Ind.
While she lost parts of both of her legs, her husband, who was at work, says he's thankful they are all alive.

Familiar story at Bristol
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
No play was possible on the opening day of the LV=County Championship Division Two match between Gloucestershire and Yorkshire at Bristol.
Heavy overnight rain left the outfield saturated and umpires Martin Bodenham and Richard Kettleborough decided there was no prospect of the encounter starting today after a 2.30pm pitch inspection.
The decision meant that all five days of championship cricket at the County Ground so far this season have been complete washouts.
The only previous fixture, against Glamorgan, was abandoned without any play.

To keep poinsettias thriving, they require high light. However, if you intend to keep them just through the holidays, they can be placed in the lower light of a room's interior.
Thoroughly water poinsettias when the soil feels dry to the touch and before the plant wilts. A poinsettia will lose its lower leaves if it is allowed to wilt. When watering, continue to add water until it runs out the drain holes. Remember to remove all water that accumulates in a saucer in order to prevent the roots from decaying.
To retain a poinsettia's bright colors, wait until early spring to resume fertilizing poinsettias. Thereafter, apply fertilizer during the months of March through October.

Earlier this month there were two interviews in which an Etsy executive and investor were asked about a possible IPO - Initial Public Offering. Was Etsy ready to take the company public, they were asked?
On May 2, Etsy CEO Chad Dickerson told the AP (via TopTechNews) an IPO was a "possible outcome" for Etsy, but didn't have any plans do so in the next year. "We think it's really important to continue to serve our community and we think independence really matters. We're not the traditional Silicon Valley type of company, where we just have this bloodthirst to go public, but it's definitely a possible outcome."
Days later, Etsy investor Fred Wilson of venture capital firm Union Square Ventures said Etsy was "well positioned to go public" during a conference session, according to the Wall Street Journal. Etsy could go public in a year or so, assuming the market for initial public offerings isn't sour, Wilson said.
Notably, the comments section of the Journal piece contained posts from Etsy sellers criticizing the company for a variety of reasons, including suggestions that the site was full of mass-produced rather than handmade goods.
Going public is a favorite exit strategy for investors to get a return on their investment - and investors do want an eventual payoff. Etsy investors include Burda, Accel Partners and Index Ventures in addition to Union Square Ventures. When Etsy raised $40 million in funding in 2012, the deal was rumored to value Etsy at more than $600 million.
What would Etsy going public mean for sellers?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A US judge has approved an agreement for British oil giant BP to plead guilty to manslaughter and other charges and pay a record US$4 billion (S$4.9 billion) in criminal penalties for the company's role in the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP agreed in November to plead guilty to charges involving the deaths of 11 workers aboard the drilling rig that exploded and for lying to Congress.
Before ruling on Tuesday, a US district judge heard testimony from relatives of workers who died when BP's blown-out Macondo well triggered an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig in April 2010.
More than 200 million gallons of oil spewed before the well was capped three months later. It was one of the worst environmental disasters in US history.

Family: Voices from the past
Voices from the past are an integral part of family history. These voices may come through in diaries or letters written by ancestors.
Today, however, there's another way.
To put it another way, every story matters.
Individuals can record interviews with relatives, friends or community members via the non-profit StoryCorps, which has scheduled its third annual National Day of Listening on Friday, November 26, the day after Thanksgiving.
The Day encourages Americans to follow a new holiday tradition which promotes listening and understanding to share their stories on the day following Thanksgiving, which itself is an essentially family-oriented holiday.
Participants use equipment found in many homes, such as a computer, mobile phone, tape recorder or even pen and paper.
To learn more click nationaldayoflistening.org for a free instruction guide with equipment recommendations, suggested questions and ideas for preserving and sharing interviews.
Of course, another great way to preserve your family interviews is on your own MyHeritage.com family site, so all your relatives can them.
Imagine preserving an interview with your grandmother that would be available for future generations to hear.
"In an era of fierce political and cultural divides, we hope that the idea of listening to one another during the holiday season resonates with many Americans," says StoryCorps Founder and MacArthur "Genius" Dave Isay. "Through our National Day of Listening, StoryCorps hopes to remind Americans of all stripes how much more unites us than divides us."
Although a US-based day, the idea is certainy appropriate for people in all countries around the world and - as an additional benefit - encourages talking about family history and connecting families, which is exactly what MyHeritage.com is all about.
Although the Day of Listening is celebrated on the day after Thanksgiving, you can record family members, friends or community members on any day of year or in connection with any holiday.
Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 30,000 interviews from more than 60,000 participants. Each is recorded on a free CD to share, and is also preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (Washington, DC).
The project is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind.For more information, or to listen to stories online, visit storycorps.org.
Have you recorded interviews with any of your relatives?
If you have a senior relative, remember to record them as soon as possible so that interview will be preserved. This is truly voices from the past!
Who have you recorded? Where and how have you preserved that interview?

Family: Remember to laugh!
Thanksgiving Day is one of my favorite holidays.
As we get closer to the fourth Thursday in November - and plan for holiday celebrations - our family remembers our special tradition.
We have just relocated to the beautiful state of New Mexico and enjoying our few first weeks here. Even better, our daughter will be visiting from New York for the holiday.
Any holiday that brings family together is an opportunity for family history, even if it is only talking about previous holidays.
One story that is always part of our get-together is the story of our first turkey day celebrations when we lived in Iran long ago.
I had ordered a fresh turkey from a Teheran supermarket and specified that it had to be at my house on Wednesday morning - cleaned and ready.
Wednesday came and went, while I was busy making pies, preparing stuffing, and doing other myriad tasks. The store said it would be delivered in the afternoon.
The afternoon came and went.
He then said it would be there in the evening.
The evening came and went.
Early Thursday morning, there was a knock at the door, and Mr. Turkey arrived. Finally!
I took the large brown-paper wrapped parcel into the kitchen, and felt it was suspiciously warm. I gingerly opened the package and found an entire turkey. I mean an entire turkey.
It was compete with all its feathers, neck, head, eyes - everything but the gobble - and it was sitting right there on my kitchen counter.
At that point, I didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. Our friends were coming for Thanksgiving Day dinner in only a few hours and I'd never seen a bird like that, even less how to go about getting ready for the oven.
My husband called my mother-in-law - and as they laughed hysterically - she agreed to send over her housekeeper-cook to help out the poor foreign daughter-in-law who couldn't clean a turkey!
The woman arrived and efficiently de-feathered, de-necked, cleaned out everything that needed to be cleaned out - giggling the entire time.
Hey, I'm from New York, where Thanksgiving Day turkeys come cleaned in plastic bags, whether they are fresh or frozen. I had seen live turkeys, in person and on television, and turkeys ready for cooking, but never one in the intermediate stage.
In any case, I was then able to prepare Mr. Turkey properly, stuff it with a favorite cornbread and chestnut mix, roast and baste it to golden brown. Everyone said how delicious it was, despite the tragi-comedy of the situation.
We also mention how we American wives would search at a few special stores to hopefully find cranberry sauce, pumpkin puree for pies, and MiracleWhip for leftover sandwiches. These were not common items in Iran in those days, so one either paid astronomical prices for each can or jar or hand-carried it back on trips home.
We began telling the story of Mr. Turkey that year and tell it again each year. It is still funny.
It is our Thanksgiving tradition, no matter who is at our table.
We will tell the story again on Thursday in New Mexico.
Enjoy the holiday, if it is your tradition, and enjoy having your family around the table.
Tell the stories of holidays past, of family traditions. Keep the memories alive, and don't forget to take photos and video of your celebration to add to the family archive.
Post those photos and videos at your MyHeritage.com family site, so all family members - no matter where they live - can participate.
What is your most memorable Thanksgiving tradition or story? Share it with MyHeritage.com via comments to this post.
Cemeteries: Gravestone symbols
What do you see in a cemetery?
Gravestones, at a minimum, provide the name and dates for the deceased individual. But there's often much more.
Many stones also carry symbols with specific meanings, which may indicate the deceased's age (young, old), an occupation, religion, organizations, military service or other meanings.
The Heritage Bulletin of Oregon devoted an issue to a detailed list and photographs of many symbols commonly found in cemeteries.
Here are some common symbols and their meanings.
ANCHOR: Hope; sometimes a trade or field of military service (photo left)
ANGEL: Guardian or messenger between God and man
ASPHODEL or LILY: Plants with white, pink or yellow flowers - including the narcissus and daffodil - reminds visitors of their mortality.
BOOK: The holy book or Bible, "book of life." Closed, end of life or a complete life. A pile of books may indicate the deceased was scholarly or educated.

Tracking the troops: GI Jane, GI Joe
Do you have ancestors or relatives who served in the military?
As we peer into our past, we often find family members who served on land or sea in many countries and in many capacities. Some were on-the-ground forces, while others filled support roles such as tailors, doctors, nurses, cooks or musicians.
London's Imperial War Museum has organized a Family History Day on Saturday, November 6, sponsored by MyHeritage.com. The event will assist participants - from beginners to experienced family historians - to learn how the Blitz affected families, the roles relatives played to help win the war, the aftermath of this history in today's families, and what records are accessible for more information.
The Imperial War Museum is the museum of everyone's story: the history of modern conflict told through the stories of those who were there. It is an educational and historical institution responsible for archives, collections and sites of outstanding national importance. You can view the Museum's main website here.
Women as well as men have served in diverse capacities in all US military branches - Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and the Coast Guard. For information on women veterans from Colonial to contemporary times, view stories here (scroll down to see other relevant pages on that site), and a time line here. For a collection of photos and artifacts documenting women's service, click here.
One Civil War surgeon - Dr Mary Edwards Walker (photo left) - was the first woman to receive the Medal of Honor.
Accessible records include regiment lists, files for widows' pensions, death and burial records, medals, hospital lists for the wounded, transport lists and many other records, each supplying another piece of the family history puzzle.
Where can you find more information on those who served?

Roundtable ready to tell some jokes
Chelsea Handler couldn't do her E! late- night show Chelsea Lately without a little help from her friends. And they just happen to be funny, too. A few roundtable comedians -- Loni Love, Josh Wolf, Sarah Colonna and Brad Wollack -- are bringing their tour to Miami Friday night. At the Fillmore Miami Beach, they'll do what comes naturally -- rip on celebrities.
We spoke to both Love, who also appears on Logo's The Gossip Queens, and Wollack, who was born in South Miami and spent the first 18 months of his life in Coral Gables. They're L.A. people now.
Brad, you are a local, sort of.
BW: Yes. Even though you couldn't tell from the pigmentation. I'm pretty pale. My parents looked at me when I came out and said, "OK, we gotta move. This kid is not gonna survive in the sun." Plus the cocaine business was dying then, and my dad had to figure out another alternative. What are your plans while you're here?
BW: My godparents and some old family friends will be out to see the show. I'm not going to hang out with them, of course. I'll check out South Beach and look for topless women. But you are married!
BW: Yes, I am. A little over two years. She's wonderful. I'm very lucky to have her; she's way out of my league. Chelsea reminds me of that every day. Do you have fun with Chelsea?
BW: People always go, "Oh, she abuses you so much, Brad." Well, it's like, yeah, but I still get to be on the panel. It's given me a whole life and career. You got to be willing to hold your own there, but we're having a great time.
Who's your favorite celeb to bash?
BW: I think anyone like the Octomom and some of these people who are so desperate for the limelight and have gone to these great extremes kind of piss me off. These young star- ets, they're annoy- ing, but I don't like to bust on them more than anyone else. How many jokes can you do about Paris Hilton having her- pes?
LL: Demi Moore needs to stop checking her figure so much and check on her husband. What do you think of the whole Rick Sanchez thing?
LL: CNN will be able to find someone else to read Tweets from Twitter. What about the cheaters? BW: It's unfortunate, it's just the way our society works. If you're David Beck- ham, why are you getting married anyway? Tiger Woods was a little overkill. Plus, if you're gonna cheat, do it with classy people. Don't do it with sluts! Have some respect for yourself and for your wife. Some of these waitresses and stuff, you're like Ay, ay, ay.
LL: If I was George Lopez's wife, I would get my kid- ney back.
What about Lindsay Lohan going to Betty Ford?
LL: Lohan doesn't need rehab. She needs fat friends. We don't like to get high. We like to eat. Last question -- What's up with Chel-sea and 50 Cent?
BW: TMZ contacted several of us. My official quote was, "Until she's rumored to be dating one of my personal heroes, Bono or Bruce Springsteen, or both at the same time, I'm not commenting on her personal life."

The official fatality count for Chickasaw County remains at three persons lost to the storms, including:
Cortez Townsend Isabell, 24
Betty L. Watkins, 56
Betty Walker Plant, 62
Two county stations remain at:
Buena Vista Fire Station – CR 406
Bethel Baptist Church – CR 416
These remain available for work crews, displaced residents or others who need food or other aid.
Initial home/property/business/churches/agricultural assessments have been completed at this time.
The Houston Ministerial Association has established a fund at Regions Bank to receive and disburse cash donations.
Collection points available for donations:
Houston Fire Department (bottled water, paper products only)
National Guard Armory – Houston
Houlka City Hall
Okolona City Hall
There are needs at individual properties for volunteer teams to help with clean-up and repair on private property. Those considering such a mission are encouraged to coordinate through the Chickasaw Emergency Management Volunteer Coordinator at 662-664-1690. All volunteers are requested to check in through Chickasaw EMA at the old jail just south of the Houston Fire Station.
Okolona Electric and Natchez Trace Electric Power Association report that all customers who can safely be restored now have power. Those placing debris at roadside need to observe a 10-foot clearance from beneath overhead lines.
Those clearing their properties are requested to move their storm debris to the side of the road for later pickup, and to please keep debris sorted into separate piles of limbs/brush, building debris, metals, and white goods such as stoves or refrigerators. This will greatly speed up the eventual collection as these items must be handled separately in their eventual disposal. Debris should be accessible from the road, as collection crews will not be able to freely enter private property to pick up debris.
Chickasaw County has approved three sites for disposal of hazardous household wastes (HHW). Residents are encouraged to bring HHW products to the disposal sites as soon as possible, as these sites will only be available for a couple of weeks.
Household Hazardous Wastes are products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients. Products such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides that contain potentially hazardous ingredients require special care when you dispose of them.
Improper disposal of household hazardous wastes can include pouring them down the drain, on the ground, into storm sewers, or mixing them in with normal household trash. The dangers of such disposal methods might not be immediately obvious, but improper disposal of these wastes can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health.
The following locations have been approved for HHW sites:
Woodland – Chickasaw County District 5 maintenance Shop, 112 Logan St.
Van Vleet – Chickasaw County Central operations Facility, 146 CR 412
Okolona – Old Chickasaw County District 3 Maintenance Shop, South Gatlin St.
Site hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Saturday. Again, residents are encouraged to bring HHW products to these sites as soon as possible for safe disposal.
Old tires may be delivered to the trailer behind Houston City Hall. For further information, contact the Chickasaw County Emergency Management office at (662) 448-1012 or email at email@example.com.
FEMA representatives are currently on the field and are making initial visits with affected residents of the county. One or more local Disaster Relief Centers will shortly be established in the county to enable victims to contact several agencies in one location. As soon as the locations are selected, further announcements will be made.
Those residents of Chickasaw County who had storm damage are requested to go ahead and file an initial report with FEMA by either:
Call 1-800-321-3362
This filing will be important as the recovery efforts progress.
Locally, those affected by the storm with immediate needs may contact Chickasaw EMA at 662.448.1012.

You are reminded to stay grounded in the pursuit of spiritual growth. Take things one step at a time.-Rhinoceros
Rhinoceros is letting you know that you need to look more closely at everything around you because things are not what they seem. Are you seeing lack instead of abundance? This animal is here to remind you to appreciate the expansive bounty that surrounds you. Stop and give thanks to the infinite miracles occurring in every moment of your life. Use your spiritual eyes, not your physical eyes to see the truth and maintain a close connection with "Mother Earth" as you expand your inner knowledge to a whole new level.
You are for the most part a solitary and wise person choosing to spend a great deal of time alone. You enjoy the comfort of your own company and are comfortable with yourself. You have a very close relationship with the ancient wisdom of your soul and have a lot to share about what is real and how to live. For the most part you are a self made success and an achievement seeking powerhouse in your chosen field. Being a workaholic is a natural part of who you are.
To see a rhinoceros in your dream suggests that you need to forge ahead toward your goals. Do not take "no" for an answer or let any obstacles sidetrack you from your destination. Alternatively if the Rhino is being aggressive or charging make sure that you are not getting carried away with your own ideas and intentions. Steamrollering your way through things is a very self defeating behavior. Discern what is real and what is not.
This is so weird! Someone brought these cards into work and I didn't even know why the staff were picking a card. Once I read the one I chose outloud it all clicked. Maybe this is the universes way of saying I am what I am.
Thank you!!!

Trinity's Bradley Buchter spent his freshman year of diving setting records.
Last season, the Buchter set championship meet records at the Mid-Penn (614.30), District 3-AA (510.45) and PIAA (533.05).
Although Buchter did not reset a Mid-Penn record on Thursday, he did make it clear that it will be hard to stop him from repeating in the the postseason events.
Bucther scored a 542.25 to win his second straight Mid-Penn diving title, doing so with a jammed thumb that he hurt during practice dives on Sunday.
The following interview took place after he received his gold medal.
When and how did you first get involved in competitive diving?
My dad was a diver and my mom was a gymnast, so I was always flipping around, probably since I was about five on the board.
Who, other than your parents, is your mentor in diving?
My sister [Ashley]. She's at Virginia Tech now, but she's always been a positive influence on me.
Do you have a particular dive you look forward to, or one you like less than the others?
I was a little nervous on the back 2.5 [somersault], because that was what I jammed my thumb on. But I don't have one I look forward to. I just try to hit them the best I can.
How much time do you spend in practice?
It's pretty much year-round for me. I usually put in two hours a day, and on weekends more like three or four hours.
Does diving feel like a separate sport from swimming, especially when Mid-Penn and District 3 has them on different days?
I feel like I'm very much a part of the team. They always give me big support when they're here. Even though they don't always swim the same day that I dive, they come out.
What goals do you have for the District 3 Meet?
Just to practice my dives and keep them as clean as possible.
(Note: Because the Mid-Penn girls' diving finals were postponed to next Wednesday, there will be no girls' Q&A this week. It will return on Feb. 14.)

Do it for the Planet. Do it for the Children. (Updated)
The damned, evil cows are a menace to our country; really, a menace to the world.
If each and every one of us would make an effort to eat more cow, then the evil can be stopped. We can stop the bovine evil-doers from destroying "climate, forests and wildlife", we can beat acid rain once and for all, and we can stop our alien overlords right in their pseudopod prints. If we all pull together as Americans, we can win this War on Bessie.
Whether it be a filet at the local steakhouse, a burger at McDonalds, or that special leather "Gimp" outfit from a nearby S&M outfit, there is something that each and everyone of us can do to make the world a safer and better place.
In a war between us and the cows, I've made my choice.
Update: Kindly linked by Dean Esmay who has this question for us:
Indeed. And heh. In fact, indeedeheh.

The Measure of a Justice: Justice Scalia and the Faltering of the Property Rights Movement within the U.S. Supreme Court
Richard James Lazarus
Georgetown University Law Center
Hastings Law Journal, Vol. 57, No. 4, Winter 2006
Georgetown Public Law Research Paper No. 847666
This article takes the measure of Justice Scalia's ability to produce significant opinions for the Court, by focusing on the Court's property rights cases during the past several decades. Much of the analysis relies on the Official Papers of Justice Harry Blackmun, which provide a virtual treasure trove of information revealing the Court's deliberative process when Blackmun was on the Court from 1971 to 1994. The article concludes that Justice Scalia may have appeared an effective champion of pro-property rights rhetoric to those outside the Court, but he has been much less effective within the Court in furthering that agenda. He not only repeatedly failed in his efforts to build a workable majority coalition on the Court, but he instead pushed away potential allies. The upshot was, in the first instance, precedent heavy on strong rhetoric yet light on staying power. In combination with other causes, the ultimate result was a splintering of those Justices, which included more than a simple majority, intuitively sympathetic to property rights claims and the reconstruction of a new majority more often led by Justice John Paul Stevens that returned the law to where it had been prior to Justice Scalia's joining the Court.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of metamaterials and artificial materials has rapidly grown in the last decade, spanning microwave, THz and optical frequencies, with a wide range of applications. One of the most intriguing possibility offered by metamaterials is the large flexibility in their dispersion engineering properties, which may provide novel tools to significantly enhance the sensitivity of practical devices. In this context, concepts like electromagnetically induced transparency, extremely slow waves, large field enhancements, and ultracompact resonances have been successfully established in a variety of metamaterial geometries and setups, providing resonance Q factors and robustness to absorption and disorder superior to those in natural materials. These anomalous features may pave the way to a large set of exciting possibilities to dramatically improve current sensing devices, with applications in biology, medicine, chemistry and other related fields. This special issue of Sensors is specifically devoted to the application of novel metamaterial concepts and geometries for sensing devices with improved sensitivity and resolution.

Jenna Fischer Takes 'Baby Steps' with Injury
Photo: John Shearer/WireImage
Her character Pam on The Office has never felt better, but in real life, Jenna Fischer admits she's still in some pain from the back injury she suffered in May.
"Please forgive my slouchy casual pants in the most recent episode," she writes on her MySpace page. "I still can't wear clothes that are too tight because of my back."
Fischer, 33, fractured her back in four places when she fell down some stairs. Five months later, she's still moving gingerly–at work and at home.
"Off set, I am literally living in sweat pants and pajamas," she writes. "I think I am technically allowed to start working out a bit. But I'm going to pretend like I'm still only allowed to lounge around and watch TV while eating Ding Dongs. (I'm not making that up by the way.)"
Fischer has received an outpouring of support from fans since her accident, and has seen some improvement in her condition–though it's been a slow process.
"I started going on light hikes recently and I suppose that is a good thing," she says. "Baby steps." –Tim Nudd

Summer of Service: A New Rite of Passage for Young Teens
The beginning of summer vacation across the country brings delight to teenagers, especially those young teens who are graduating from middle school and looking forward to high school in the fall, alongside collective groans from their parents. As any parent who's been through the rollercoaster years of middle school can attest, young teens increasingly exhibit spots of grown-up behavior—some good, some not so good.
The summer months between middle school and high school can be a particularly testing time when children are redefining themselves and in the process making decisions that may well determine who they will be as adults, for better or worse. For working parents, too, these next several months are a particular challenge. Their kids are too young for paid jobs and too old to be "babysat."
Economically well-off families can afford a host of summer camps offering learning opportunities from language immersion to lacrosse. But in too many communities, offerings for older youth are limited and prices steep, making summer a time of particular peril.
Congress is examining one way to fill this void. Legislation sponsored by Sens. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Thad Cochran (R-MI), and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), would support community efforts to engage young teens in intensive service as a "rite of passage" during the summer before high school. This legislation would amend the National and Community Service Act, which may be reauthorized this year.
In the 15 years since its enactment, national service has grown from a demonstration program to a large-scale system engaging more than 75,000 Americans a year in substantial service in exchange for an AmeriCorps education award. A less well-known program, Learn and Serve America, pays for "service-learning" for K-12 and college students, helping them connect their academic studies to real world applications through service.
These two programs lay the groundwork for a new "stream" of community service—summer learning for students in the middle grades. Imagine if every student spent the summer before high school serving full-time in his or her community. Research shows that service-learning promotes positive youth development like few other programs can, motivating students to achieve and teaching personal, social, and civic responsibility. By making the summer service experience a "rite of passage" for young people in transition to high school, whole communities could be transformed.
Unfortunately, research also shows that the young people who need this sort of experience the most are also the least likely to be engaged. According to the Corporation for National and Community Service, disadvantaged teens are far less likely to volunteer than their peers from more advantaged backgrounds, by a 43 percent-to-59 percent margin. However, those disadvantaged youth who do serve hold more positive civic attitudes, discussing politics, believing that they can make a difference, and planning to go to college at higher rates than their low-income peers who do not volunteer.
Using AmeriCorps members and college students to lead the younger students in service offers the dual benefit of keeping costs reasonable and offering positive role models. Programs such as Citizen Schools in 16 cities across the country and City Year, an AmeriCorps program, have used this model effectively to expanded service for middle school students during out-of-school time. The Dodd-Cochran-DeLauro bill encourages this staffing model.
Middle-schoolers who perform a "summer of service" under the bill would also earn a $500 scholarship. At a time in life when students and their families need to begin thinking about college, this feature would positively brand participating youth as college material—even those who never considered the possibility—and could set these students and their families on a course of saving for college.
Not only would students and their families benefit, communities would as well. Existing programs have mobilized middle-school students to manage recycling programs, educate the community about environmental hazards, and tutor younger children. In Manatee County, Fla., for example, more than 80 percent of the county's 12- to 18-year-olds volunteer through ManaTEENS, started 10 years ago by a 12-year-old.
ManaTEENS has transformed the local community, particularly for the elderly population, which outnumbers youth by a factor of 12 to 1. Club members provide free house painting, provide emergency supplies, and conduct home safety assessments and improvements along with dozens of other projects, many initiated by the students themselves. One project, a Meals on Wheels for pets, was created when students realized that low-income seniors could not afford pet food and were sharing their own meals with their dogs and cats.
The ManaTEENs have become a vital resource in this hurricane-prone area. More than 300 ManaTEENs have Community Emergency Response Team certifications, having completed the necessary 100 hours of training, and they run the Volunteer Reception Center "when they're not in school," according to Adriane LaRoza, executive director of Volunteer Services of Manatee County. In the wake of 2004's Hurricane Charley, which left 17,000 people homeless, the students interviewed, registered, and deployed more than 5,000 volunteers.
The kind of awareness, empowerment, and responsibility built through the ManaTEENS program could be exhibited by teens everywhere. For $100 million, we could provide 100,000 students a Summer of Service and $500 college scholarships, helping them to put their lives on a positive trajectory and become a vital resource for their communities. It's time for all parents who've struggled with their kids through the summer months between middle school and high school to get behind congressional efforts to help these kids help themselves and their communities.

they goad the lion,
'hey carl, (snicker, snicker)
maybe you should become

listen to them
feeling so safe,
as if
that isn't
exactly where the lion
wants them
watching TV,
gaining weight, fat-
tening up for the meal
'it's your deal.'
down 3-1
i slap down 2 sets

her eyes already parceling out
the choice cuts, like that chart

yes, she is

Over at dVerse Poets today, we are writing on mass media ~ radio, tv, internet, movies etc. I chose a GEICO commercial as my inspiration. Doors will open at 3 pm EST later today. Should be some fun. Do stop in.

ST. LOUIS — Dellin Betances should be ready to pitch Wednesday, as Yankees manager Joe Girardi gave him Tuesday off.
But, Girard said, he's monitoring how much he's using his newest bullpen star.
"His workload is very similar to what he's done before, but I'm very cognizant of his workload and how we're using him," the manager said.
Betances, entering Wednesday, had thrown the third most innings for a reliever this season at 30.1.
That's not far behind first place Dan Otero (32 innings) of Oakland and second place Jake Petricka (30.2) of the White Sox.
This is Betances' first season in the bigs, and just his second as a full-time reliever, having converted from a starter in 2012. He's responded well to the workload so far, Girardi said.
The numbers have shown that, too. He's got 51 strikeouts and a 1.48 ERA.
In fact, Girardi said, Betances has gotten better as the season has progressed.
"To me it's getting better," Girardi said of Betances' nasty fastball-slurve combo. "We love what we see from him."
TODAY: The Yankees (27-24) face the Cardinals (29-23). First pitch is at 8:10 p.m. Watch it on YES Network. Hear it on WFAN 660 AM/101.9 FM.
PROBABLE STARTERS: Yankees' righty Hiroki Kuroda (3-3, 4.55 ERA) vs. Cardinals righty Shelby Miller (6-3, 3.18 ERA).
BELTRAN'S BREAK: After experiencing progress, Girardi said, by taking some swings with a regular bat, Carlos Beltran will take the day off to rest the right elbow with a bone spur. Pain in the elbow has put him on the disabled list.

Three women face assault charges following a weekend fight inside the bathroom at Thee Southern Belle, a late-hours gentlemen's club in the Charleston Neck area.
Sheriff's deputies were called to the club at about 2:45 a.m. Sunday where, according to authorities, three women had entered a restroom and two of them went into the same handicapped stall.
An attendant approached and told the women that house rules allow only one person per stall.
The confrontation quickly escalated into verbal disputes and pushing, with differing versions of what happened.
One of the women reportedly told police that other "strippers" came out of nowhere and "jumped" into the altercation and began assaulting the three, according to an incident report.
Another version was that the three women who originally came into the bathroom together were responsible for going after the attendant, beating her violently.
Several individuals, including security, responded and broke up the fight, according to authorities.
One of the injuries included a bitten and bleeding thumb.
Charged were Tabitha L. Burns, 25, of Charleston; Bianca L. Burns, 23, of Charleston; and Martha Castellanos-Avendano, 27, of Walterboro.
Each was lodged at the Cannon Detention Center on charges of third-degree assault by mob.
The club is located at 2028 Pittsburg Ave., in an industrial stretch between Charleston and North Charleston.
A plastic bag with a white powder that later field-tested presumptive positive for cocaine was found at the scene, according to a responding Charleston County sheriff's deputy incident report.

Fricken Activision and it's Xbox loving bias.
DJ Hero 2 turntable bundle:
PS3/Wii = $25.99
Xbox360 = $24.99
This is why I own almost no Activision games. They always spit in my face for not believing in Microsoft.
For a second I thought you were serious. Sometimes it's tough to tell on this site.

I confess to being a true, blue, bona fide "nut job." And, if you're the one defining what a nut job is, then I'm proud to be one.
I believe that the U.S.A. has the best health care in the world. You certainly don't see Americans going to England nor Canada for health care but you do see Canadians and Europeans traveling to America for treatment.
It's not perfect but it's a lot better than any other country. If we want to reduce health care costs we need tort reform and stop treating undocumented aliens, or as I call them, illegal aliens. They're already receiving free health care.
Do you honestly think Obama is going to exclude them from his plan? By the way, he has no plan. He talks about a plan but he has no plan to point to. The only plan I've seen is H.R. 3200 which Obama has not even read, nor have many of the leaders in Washington who are so anxious to vote for it.
Get real, Bruce. You're the real nut job.

text: One cannot walk into a school building in Berkeley County without seeing some kind of poster, announcement or notice about the prevention of bullying, which at times seems to be an epidemic problem. I applaud the schools for taking the problem seriously and adopting a proactive stance in protecting students from verbal and physical harassment. Though not perfect, it is clear that a combined approach of an awareness campaign and practical tips on dealing with those difficult situations has been successful; my children report to me that they have seen very few evidence of such incidents in their own school.

As I prepare to graduate from the University at Albany with an M.A. in History and an M.S. in Information Science, I can see that the foundation I obtained at Elizabethtown prepared me for my present education and future career. Elizabethtown gave me the flexibility to take a wide range of courses, allowing me to pursue my varied historical interests while also engaging deeply with course materials. My professors challenged me and my fellow students to analyze and critique the works we read. This led not only to memorable class discussions but also prepared me to participate in graduate level courses. I also learned how to research and properly utilize primary historical materials, which stimulated my interest an archival career and further prepared me for graduate school.

Wilfredo J. Nelson, 31, of Gray Street, was charged with eluding police, aggravated assault, resisting arrest and driving while intoxicated, police reports said.
Jersey City police officers began their pursuit of Nelson after his green Honda Accord blew through a red light at West Side and Ege avenues at 2:03 a.m. heading south on West Side at a high speed, police reports said.
Police followed the car west on Culver Avenue and then onto Route 440 where Nelson drove north on the southbound side of the roadway to Communipaw Avenue, according to police.
When he reached Communipaw, a second police car tried to block him, but then had to swerve out of the way to avoid being hit by the speeding Honda, reports said.
Nelson turned west onto Route 1&9 and across the Carson-Nguyen Memorial Bridge (Lincoln Highway Bridge), reports said.
As he entered South Kearny, Nelson killed his headlights and then swerved to the right, hitting the front left bumper of a Jersey City police cruiser, reports said.
Nelson then made a sharp right turn onto the Central Avenue jughandle, spun out of control, and struck a second police car on the right front quarter panel, reports said.
Officers had to force open the driver's side door, drag Nelson out of the vehicle and struggle to handcuff him, reports said. Police said his breath smelled of alcohol.

FOUR intrepid (and saddle sore) cyclists recently completed the gruelling 630km, three-day Mizen to Malin cycle in aid of UCC's Surgeon Noonan charity.
Two fourth-year medical students, Murray Connolly and Barry Cunningham were joined by two "gluttons for punishment" Gearoid and Paudie Murphy in completing the 630km cycle from Ireland's most southerly point to its most northerly.
The cycle was completed in aid of the Surgeon Noonan Charity, a voluntary charity run by fourth-year medical students in UCC.
These students raise funds for under-funded rural hospitals in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia.

GLASSBORO — Police are looking for a man who they said attempted to rob a Heritage's Dairy Store on Mullica Hill Road on Sunday.
The man, described as a black male about 6 foot tall with a thin build, was wearing a ski mask, a black hooded sweatshirt and black jeans with a black belt an chrome buckle.
Police said he entered the store, carrying a chrome butterfly knife and went behind the counter where he told the clerk to open the register.
The clerk ran to the other side of the counter and pulled out his cell phone from his pants pocket, saying he would call the police.
The suspect then fled the store and was last seen running to Campus Crossings Apartments. Police tried to track the man into the complex but were unsuccessful at finding him.
