Meriwether Lewis (Physiognotrace)
Artist/Maker: Charles Fevret de Saint-Memin (1770-1853)[1]
Created: 1802
Origin/Purchase: Washington, D.C.
Materials: engraving
Dimensions: 5.6 (2 3/16 in.)
Location: Tea Room
Owner: Library of Congress
Historical Notes: Jefferson described the leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition as having undaunted courage and "possessing a firmness and perseverance of purpose which nothing but impossibilities could divert from it's direction..."[2] Jefferson knew Lewis and his family from his native Albemarle County, Virginia. As early as 1792 Lewis expressed his desire to lead a western expedition. He was serving as Jefferson's presidential secretaries when Congress approved the 1803 expedition to explore the northwest, and Jefferson did not hesitate to name Lewis leader of the exploring party.
Under Jefferson's direction Lewis studied with leading scientists in preparation for the expedition. Lewis recruited his fellow Albemarle County resident William Clark to accompany him. From 1803 to 1806 these two men led the expedition to the Pacific Ocean and back, all while making meticulous notes on their activities. Lewis and Clark's journals contain descriptions and drawings of virtually everything they encountered: plants, animals, minerals, weather activity, landscapes, and Indians. Jefferson was the recipient of three shipments of artifacts from the expedition, which he distributed to the Peale Museum and the American Philosophical Society. Select specimens, many specifically procured by the explorers for the president, were displayed at the President's House and remained in Jefferson's collection at Monticello.[3]
Jefferson appointed Lewis governor of Louisiana after his return in 1806. Lewis held that position until his mysterious death in 1809, the cause of which remains undetermined. Although many believed that Lewis was murdered, Jefferson concluded that he died by his own hand:
"About 3. oclock in the night he did the deed which plunged his friends into affliction and deprived his country of one of her most valued citizens..."[4]
Lewis sat for Saint-Memin twice, before and after the expedition, and Jefferson may have owned both images.

Weedsport, NY – Eastbound traffic on the state Thruway is flowing normally again at Weedsport Exit 40 as authorities clean up an accident in which a tractor trailer flipped, state police said.
All lanes reopened about 7:15 a.m. after the stricken rig was pulled off the pavement, Sgt. Robert Simon said. A state Department of Environmental Conservation crew has been called in to clean up about 100 gallons of diesel fuel that spilled on the south shoulder of the highway, he said.
At 8 a.m. Simon was awaiting a report identifying the driver. The trucker was taken to a hospital for injuries that were not considered life-threatening, Simon said.
Investigators believe the accident happened shortly before 5:31 a.m. when the trucker's brakes locked to avoid a stopped vehicle, Simon said.
Weedsport, NY – State police are investigating an accident at Exit 40 of the state Thruway in Weedsport in which a tractor trailer flipped over.
The truck is between the eastbound on and off ramps of Exit 40, Trooper Steven Black said. Police are threading traffic around the accident by having cars exit, make a U turn at the toll booth and get back on the highway, he said.
The driver was hurt but his injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, Sgt. Robert Simon said.
We'll upstate this story as information becomes available.

From staff reports
For the April 17 school election, the Cumberland Regional board of education will have three vacancies — one for Fairfield and two for Upper Deerfield — for full, three-year terms. In addition, there will be one unexpired term vacancy for the Shiloh seat on the board, which offers one year in the position.
"One of the most meaningful contributions that a citizen can make to their community is serving on their local board of education," said Raymond R. Wiss, president of the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA). "I encourage all interested citizens to consider school board membership. It doesn't require a degree in education, or a background in politics. However, it does require a sincere interest in the community, its children and their education."
Prospective school board candidates can obtain a School Board Candidate Kit online at www.njsba.org. This kit, published by the New Jersey School Boards Association, includes a nominating petition, information about legal qualifications for school board candidacy and the role of the school board member.
Legal requirements for members of a local board of education in New Jersey include holding United States citizenship and one year's residency in the school district, being registered to vote in the district before filing the nominating petition and having no interest in any contract with or claim against the board, among other criteria.
Information about the New Jersey School Ethics Act and important dates in the school election process are also included in the School Board Candidate Kit.
Candidates must file a nominating petition with the local school board in order to get their name on the ballot for the Annual School Election. The current deadline to submit the nominating petition is 4 p.m. Monday, Feb. 27, to precede the school election on Tuesday, April 17.

David Barton Is Not A Historian
As we have noted before, actual historians tend to agree that David Barton is not a historian but rather a Religious Right activist who intentionally misrepresents history in order to promote his political agenda.
And with every presentation he delivers, Barton just reinforces that fact.
For instance, Focus on the Family ran a two-day broadcast last week featuring one of Barton's presentation in which he made the following assertion:
You see, even in previous generations, we fully expected our military and our political leaders to be highly religious. You've probably seen lots of pictures of George Washington kneeling in prayer. And the reason you've seen so many of them is there's so much evidence to that. You have so many eyewitness testimonies of ... of people like General Henry Knox and people like General John Marshall and people like General Marquis de Lafayette. You've got the eyewitness testimony of all sorts of congressional leaders, Charles Thompson, etc. You've got the testimony of his own children, his own family, his own ministers.
There's so much out there and isn't it interest ... interesting that today George Washington has become one of our leading deist Founding Fathers? "Why, he didn't even believe in God. He wasn't religious." Now why that? Well, you find that, that has a great impact on public policy. You see you wouldn't really want it to appear that someone with the credibility of George Washington might actually endorse public religious expressions. So, what we do is make him into a nonreligious individual.
People probably have seen pictures of Washington praying, especially since Barton himself used it as the cover for his book "America's Godly Heritage":
But, as Professor John Fea explained, the incident featured in the painting probably never happened:
There is one major problem with Potts's story of Washington praying at Valley Forge - it probably did not happen. While it is likely that Washington prayed while he was with the army at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-1778, it is unlikely that the story reported by Potts, memorialized in paintings and read to millions of schoolchildren, is anything more than legend. It was first told in the seventeenth edition (1816) of Mason Lock Weem's Life of Washington. Weems claimed to have heard it directly from Potts, his "good old FRIEND." Potts may have owned the house where Washington stayed at Valley Forge, but his aunt Deborah Potts Hewes was living there alone at the time. Indeed, Potts was probably not even residing in Valley Forge during the encampment. And he was definitely not married. It would be another twenty-five years before he wed Sarah, making a conversation with her in the wake of the supposed Washington prayer impossible. Another version of the story, which appeared in the diary of Reverend Nathaniel Randolph Snowden, claims that it was John Potts, Issac's brother, who heard Washington praying. These discrepancies, coupled with the fact that Weems was known for writing stories about Washington based upon scanty evidence, have led historians to discredit it.
In fact, Fea dedicated an entire chapter in his book "Was America Founded As a Christian Nation?: A Historical Introduction" to examining Washington's faith. In it, Fea explained that, contrary to Barton's assertion, Washington's faith was very private and that often those close to him had no idea what his beliefs really were:
Lest one thing that this debate is a new one, it is worth noting that many of Washington's contemporaries also wondered whether he was a true believer. Reverend Timothy Dwight, the president of Yale College and one of the leaders of the evangelical revival known as the Second Great Awakening, felt confident that Washington was a Christian, but he was also aware that "doubts may and will exist" about the substance of his faith. Reverend Stanley Griswold, the pastor of the Congregational Church in New Milford, Connecticut knew that there were many who objected to the belief that Washington was a Christian. Thomas Jefferson was also fascinated by the question of Washington's religion. In 1800 he recorded in his private diary a bit of gossip surrounding this questions:
Dr. Rush tells me that he had it from Asa Green that when the clergy addressed Genl. Washington on his departure from the Government, it was observed in their consultation that he had never on any occasion said a word to the public which showed a belief in the Christian religion and they thought they should so pen their address as to force him at length to declare publicly whether he was a Christian or not. They did so.
However he observed the old fox was too cunning for them. He answered every article of their address particularly except that, which he passed over without notice. Rush observes he never did say a word on the subject in any of his public papers except in his valedictory letter to the Governors of the states when he resigned his commission in the army, wherein he speaks of "the benign influence of the Christian religion".
I know that Gouverneur Morris, who pretended to be in his secrets & believed himself to be so, has often told me that General Washington believed no more of that system than he himself did.
Many of Washington's contemporaries and people who knew him well had a lot to say about his religious faith. Bishop William White, the Episcopal bishop of Pennsylvania and Washington's pastor while he lived in Philadelphia during his years as president, said that he didn't know anything that would prove Washington believed in Christian revelation.
As Fea notes, some who knew Washington believed him to be a "truly devout man," while others said they knew nothing about his personal faith at all, leading Fea to conclude that Washington's "religious life was just too ambiguous."
But acknowledging any ambiguity would only undermine David Barton's entire professional enterprise, so he instead asserts that there is overwhelming eyewitness testimony to Washington's deep and public Christian faith ... which only goes to demonstrate, once again, that Barton has no interest in teaching, or even recognizing, history that does not promote his political agenda.

Historical Traveler Reviews Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay Lanai City
We stayed there June 7-9, and must say we had a great time. I heard they have been making an effort to make improvements so they could attract new management. I learned that the Four Seasons will be taking over mgmt this fall, and will be making even more improvements.
Check-in was smooth. We got to sit while they brought everything to us. Greeted us with Leis. We had reserved a garden view room, but it indeed had a ocean view too. The room was impecible. Free coffee in the morning was a big plus. We ate dinner there the first night. I had amazing seared Ahi, which although was pricey was generous in its portion as were my husband's lamb chops. There were a few decently priced wines on the wine list. We had the breakfast buffet the next morning which was as good as others I have been to for the price.
The beach staff was great, had plenty of towels, lemonade, water and snorkel gear. We didn't use the pool much as we would rather use the ocean.
The fitness center was moved to an outdoor garden location and the equipment looked new however I didn't use it.
We had dinner in town and one of the less expensive options and it was great too. Picked up a bottle of wine at the grocery store, sat on the Lanai and listened to the live band. We bought pastries to have for breakfast the next morning. They keep the path to the beach lit at night so you can take a stroll.
We left our swimsuits on the lanai to dry, and forgot all about them. They arrived in the mail yesterday.
I had a great massage at the spa. The spa facilities were well kept, and nice, but nothing extra special. I didn't like having to wait for my treatment in the spa store. Eucalyptus steam room was invigorating.
All in all it was great for the 2 days we stayed. The staff was very friendly. We expected it to be expensive, and planned for it. Maybe they are responding to previous guests complaints, b/c we didn't experience any of the issues others have complained about.
Wonderful trip!!
My husband and I spent 5 days at this wonderful hotel. The grounds are georgous with flowers everywhere. The staff was very friendly, always greeting us with a smile and an aloha. The room service was always prompt, hot and delicious. We took advantage of many activities, including the Trilogy excursions where we went ocean kayaking, snorkeling and dolphin watching. The staff was absolutely great. The bathrooms were huge, always stocked with fresh towels and all kinds of little goodies. We took a ferry over to Maui for a day of shopping. In my opinion, the staff bent over backward to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Thanks to all!!
Don't Waste Your Money at Manele Bay
Don't bother. That's the bottom line. This place is a C-. The location is beautiful, and the rooms are nice. Other than that, the list of problems is almost endless. The service is downright insulting. We've bussed our own table several times because noone would do it for us; we've had to beg repeatedly for silverware; we've waited over an hour and a half for our lunch orders; out of six visits to the Concierge desk, the Concierge has failed to know the answer all six times (to simple questions -- like do you have an Internet-connected computer); the food is mediocre at best; despite several days of rain, the hotel failed to plan a single activity for kids (indoor party, billiards competition ... anything!); the gym is third-rate, and again there is no service (the water runs out and isn't replenished; the towels run out and aren't replenished; etc.); room service has taken over an hour and a half; etc. At this pricepoint, this hotel should compare to a Four Seasons. It's not even close -- this place is doomed. Don't bother until this hotel is under new management. Very disappointing.
Not too impressed...
The Manele Bay Hotel is in a great location, but the prices are ridiculous! For the prices you pay at this hotel, the service is terrible. The food is mediocre and make sure you check the weather, because it rained seven days in a row while we were here. If you want to do absolutely nothing, this hotel is a great choice. Over the New Year, there were entirely too many children, the hot tubs were set to 90 degrees, and we experienced the unfortunate incidence of finding a human feces in the pool. It was common to not find a place to eat for lunch, as the pool is the only option (with a salad costing at least $20.00). My advice for Mr. Murdoch is to add more staff, re-train the staff, and lower the prices.
Great location, great facility, but service is not 1st rate. Very, very pricey. Food isn't that good, and you're limited to several restaurants. One of the restaurants at the Lodge requires a JACKET! The food's not worth schlepping the jacket! Beach is great and the snorkeling is fantastic...they give you free equipment. Beware, inter-isalnd airlines limit weight of luggage to 40lbs per piece, 2 pieces per passanger. Overall, this is a great place, but it's not close to a top 10 pick. We had expected even more!
Beautiful Honeymoon at Manele Bay Hotel
My wife and I ferried from Maui to Lanai (for the second half of our Honeymoon) to stay at the Manele Bay Hotel on October 25th. My wife is a Starwood Platinum member which helped us get upgraded to an ocean front room with a beautiful view of the sun going down over the Pacific each evening. You could hear the waves breaking on the stunning cliffsides of the island. Our room was very well appointed with a very comfortable 4 poster king size bed. Think Ritz-Carlton. The bathroom had two sinks, a separate shower, a separate tub and wonderful marble floors. As it was our Honeymoon they had a bottle of Champagne and a fruit basket in the room when we arrived. We both took advantage of their very modern spa and had excellent massages. The facilities were top drawer. The landscaping of the Manele Bay Hotel is beautiful. The gardens surrounding the rooms are very tranquil and peaceful. The beach is quite picturesque as well. The staff at the hotel were very courteous and helpful. The service at the high end restaurant was very good, although we were a little disappointed by the food selection. We are big steak and lamb eaters. This is what made us decide to try the formal restaraunt at The Lodge. The steak and the lamb at the Lodge we found to be excellent. When we travel to Lanai again we will probably split our time between Manele Bay and The Lodge. We took advantage of the Sporting Clay Shooting at The Lodge and had a terrific day. Neither one of us had ever shot a shotgun before but the staff were so helpful they had us shooting like pros in no time! It was great fun! Next time we're going to try the horseback riding there! Both the Manele Bay and The Lodge are very peaceful. I would recommend if you travel to Lanai that you try both resorts to see which suits you best. We will return enthusiastically to celebrate future Wedding Anniversaries to come!
Manele Bay's nice but...
We just returned from a five day stay at Manele Bay. While its facilities and amenities are pretty much on par (yes, there's golf) with other oceanfront resorts, my wife and I left feeling pretty ambivalent about the experience. There's nothing really terribly wrong with Manele Bay, but then again there's nothing spectacular or memorable about the resort either. To put this in perspective, we're not elitist snobs, but we do enjoy resorts that offer understated luxury, privacy, and cordial service. Our favorite getaway in Hawaii (when we just want to relax) is the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on the Big Island. The layout of both hotels is surprisingly similar (Dole Company had to be influenced by Rockefeller's design sense at Maunea Kea).
However, we found the food at Manele Bay to be only average despite the $30 entree prices. Also, the service while friendly was not nearly as cordial or professional as we experience at Mauna Kea or other resorts.
It could be that the help is still going through the transition and learning curve of being representatives of a luxury hotel versus working in various capacities at the now closed Dole plantation on Lanai. Also, whereas the beach of Kauna'oa Bay is right below you at Mauna Kea, at Manele Bay the beach is a five minute walk from the pool.
We didn't mind the walk several times a day as that's where we did most of our reading, but the beach and ocean is not as integral a part of your experience at Manale Bay as it is at Mauna Kea. Bottom line for us - while Manele Bay is certainly a nice hotel to lounge at for a few days, next trip we'll spend a bit more to get an ocean room at Mauna Kea and the ambiance and service that's still being developed at Manele Bay.
Great but not magnificent
My wife and I just returned from Lanai where we spent 4 very pleasant days at the Manele Bay Hotel. In summary I think we were delighted to have gone but we would not return. First up.. this hotel is not for the faint hearted and even the most wary of guest will feel the sting. Those $10 pool cocktails are adictive and Houdini would have difficulty getting out of the less expensive of the 2 hotel restaurants for less than $100 per head. Still that being said .. the facility and the setting are just magnificent. The hotel lobby is grand and opulent and a number of the issues that Frommers found appear to have been corrected. The setting overlooking the bay and the beach is enchanting the snorkeling just off of the beach is quite fantastic. (And free). The food in both restaurants (formal and less formal) was always excellent although at times it felt like we were being hurried by a tag team of waiters. Alternative dining options do exist outside of the main hotel either at the golf club house or in the city of Lanai (15 minutes bus ride away) but these options are not so convenient. The rooms were very pleasant, spacious but somewhat indistinctive. The Garden view rooms probably would be the way to go...these look out over some beautiful, quiet gardens and can be gotten for as little as $195. The ocean view and ocean front rooms go north of $400 per night but it is worth becoming a Starwoods Preferred memebr just to be able take advantage of the discount. I found that this saved me 25-40% over Travelocity, Expedia and Hotels. A couple of aggrivating findings, like... poor pillows...a 30 minute wait every time you wanted ice and a 10 minute wait for the shower to warm up, as well as a hint of mildew odor in the room when we checked in, all made for a feeling that Manele was charging deluxe hotel prices but not quite delivering on it's part of the bargain..... Although the delinquencies raised by the Frommers review had been satisfied the spirit of their review remained.In summary, I am glad that we went and we certainly enjoyed our time at the resort but in my estimation the experience missed its mark......
Manele Bay Hotel
Lanai is a great place to just relax and unwind. Of the 2 resorts on the island, Manele Bay captures the Hawaiian essence of beach, sun, and fun. Located at the foot of Hulopoe Bay, Manele Bay offers luxuriously spacious rooms (huge bathrooms), excellent service, and elegant surroundings with a casual atmosphere. Upon entering the hotel, you are struck by the Asian themes in the decor and furniture. One can laze by the pool or go down to the beach for excellent snorkeling or a swim with the dolphins. The beach facilities provides mask, snorkel, & fins as a courtesy to hotel guests. A swim with the dolphins may take you out a good 100 or so meters but it's worth. The only draw back to this great resort was the number of mosquitoes which is purely the fault of nature. Just bring a bottle of DEET with you and your evenings will be much more pleasant. Overall, it's a worth while experience!
Stayed at this hotel in June 2003 for two nights. Lanai is a unique island. I had a garden view room at this hotel. Of the four places I stayed during this trip, this was the largest room. The gardens were fantastic and the view was incredible - and this was the garden view! Prices for food in hotel high as usual, but we ate all of our meals in Lanai City (tiny town) where hamburgers were $2 and no meal costs more then $8. Expensive, but memorable and I recommend this hotel.

Aloha and Mahalo: five nights in Maui
... I'd ever seen. Seemed like s pretty good omen that I would have a stellar time over the next five days. Thursday was my first sloth day, and the first time I'd had literally nothing to do for what felt like ages. After a leisurely walk down the coast and back, I had a late breakfast, and spent the next three hours, give or take, alternating between swimming in the whale shaped pool and lying on a deck chair next to the whale snapped pool. That's right, three hours. ...
Maui Waterfalls and Rainforest
... canals and man-made water control gates and troughs used to float products downstream. They dug a tunnel through solid rock for the water and we were given the option of walking thought it or around.
The waterfalls and pools were great and we were allowed to swim in them. We did stop at four different ones during the hike.
We headed back to the van and the ship to shower as we had another excursion scheduled for evening.
Aloha Hawaii
... and if we hadn't had all our luggage and valuables with us, I would have just pulled over and jumped in.
The drive to Lahaina from Kihei took about 25 minutes. We went first to downtown Lahaina to see what it looked like and to figure out where the harbor was, since we had a fishing trip on Saturday morning. We passed the Banyon Tree, one of the oldest in the state of Hawaii. Lahaina used to be the capital of the Hawaiian ...
Lavender and goats
... we were leaving though our rental car was showing a warning light. We figured out that the light was indicating low tire pressure. (Manuals - amazing what you can find out. ). Being the mechanics that we are we stopped at a gas station to try to add air. Of course the air thing didn't have a tester so it was some what silly since we didn't know if it was working so we tried and figured that would hold us a while. Off down the road to the Surfing Goat Farm which was tucked away on ...
Done with clever titles
... Come on you can't separate from you husband for 20 minutes?
Just an update on our tourers?...... they switched to wheelchairs....so out of a group of 30 five need wheel chairs!!!
Our drivers name is peaches i am not sure if it is a man or a woman... will ask Donna later what she thinks.
Me...I fixed as many of Wendy' missing CAPS that I could...left the last paragraph because it's a losing ...

Unity 6.4.0 Lands In Ubuntu Quantal Proposed Repository, Brings Dash Previews
Unity 6.4.0 has been uploaded to the Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal proposed* repositories today, bringing a huge list of bug fixes, but also some new features that were announced earlier, like the Dash previews feature.The previews feature allows you to right click applications or files in Dash to get a preview, along with some extra information which depends on the item you've right clicked. The previews currently work with applications (both installed and suggested), music (available on the HDD and available for download), videos and pictures. We've covered this a while back, so for more info and a video, see: Unity: Dash Gets A Cool New Previews Feature [Video] – Ubuntu 12.10 Development.Besides the preview feature, the latest Unity 6.4.0 seems to also come with the new Unity webapps technology because when upgrading, 2 new packages were installed: libunity-webapps0 and unity-webapps-service, but it doesn't work yet. The browser (Firefox and Chromium) extensions are not installed by default, but even after installing them, the WebApps feature didn't work in my test so it seems there's something still missing here.Another change in Unity 6.4.0 is that "backlight toggles" mode is now switched on by default (screenshot above) which means that the Unity launcher

The Lowcountry has no shortage of cultural festivals, and yet two years ago a group of area residents felt something was still missing.
We have every festival imaginable in the tri-county area, but there was no Italian festival, said Teri Lupinacci.
And thus the Lowcountry Festa Italiana, LLC was born. The nonprofit organization exists to promote the Italian culture, said Lupinacci, the organizations president, and is centered around their largest event of the year, the Italiana festival.
The first Festa Italiana was held last year in Azalea Park, where it will be held again this year on April 26 from 11 a.m. 8 p.m.
Lupinacci said there will be something for everyone at the festival: Venetian mask crafting for kids, Italian merchandise, Roman soldiers, music, a bocce tournament, grape stomping, a Tarantella dance demonstration and Italian food, beer and wine.
She contributes the success of last years event to Lowcountry residents: There are a lot of people of Italian descent in the tri-county area and they were just thirsty for this.
The 2013 festival attracted around 4,000 attendees. This year double the food vendors and craft vendors have registered to participate, so Lupinacci is anticipating double the attendees.
There was an unforeseen need there. We filled that need, and people are excited about it now.
She said the festival embodies the organizations key goal to promote the Italian culture, heritage and traditions.
I believe in my heart that if we dont actively do something to promote the Italian heritage to the next generation, I fear it will be lost.
When we pass on traditions, culture and heritage, that will last forever.
The Lowcountry Festa Italiana holds several fundraisers througought the year, all while promoting Italian culture and heritage. The money they raise goes to a scholarship the group has established with the College of Charleston for an Italian studies student to further their education.
Educating and involving youth is a huge part of the organization, Lupinacci said, which is why the scholarship is so important. The organization also employs an intern from the College of Charleston to help organize the festival.
She said everyone, whether they are of Italian descent or not, should attend the festival to try something new.
You have to dance the Tarantella. And also let your hair down and try the grape stomping, Lupinacci recommended.
She also suggested trying the homemade mozzarella cheese from Bacco, the meatballs from Amalfis and the gelato at Paolos.
But for Lupinacci its not about the food, or the festival for that matter. Its about leaving a legacy.
When I am dead and gone I want my grandchildren to know their roots, about how the Italian people came to America and contributed. I want them to be proud of their heritage, their culture, and just know about it.

The information listed here is to help Dominican music lovers find quality live Dominican music in New York City. For now, we're listing bachata and merengue, which mainstream event listing services have long overlooked.
We recommend calling ahead to confirm schedule.
New Jersey
Borinquen Night Club

Gran Mar de Plata Restaurant

The first week of high school football season is always an upbeat time for teams. That definitely should be the case at Philipsburg-Osceola, which returns a talented core to make a run at the District 5-6 playoffs if some things break the Mounties' way.
Heaven knows P-O is due, because it seems like pretty much whatever could go wrong has in the offseason.
It wasn't enough that Kurtis Walker, a potential game-changer at defensive end, broke his arm and is doubtful for the Mounties' season opener with Chestnut Ridge. That season opener itself had to be moved from Philipsburg to New Paris because the new lighting that was expected to be installed at Memorial Field came in behind schedule.
Athletic director Lee Fisher said the Mounties should be OK to make their home debut Sept. 17 against Juniata.
That, however, puts added pressure on the Mounties to perform over the first two weeks when they finally get to play on their home field. Season openers traditionally bring in big crowds.
"First games have so much uncertainty. In 20 years of coaching, I never lose as much sleep as I do the Thursday before the first game,'' P-O coach Jeff Vroman said. "You want to get off to a good start. You only have 10 weeks to prove yourself ... If you get behind, you have to play catch-up.''
Vroman's biggest disappointment, though, is that, in the reorganization of the Mountain Conference, P-O lost its game with Bellefonte, traditionally one of its biggest draws, if not the biggest.
The rivalry can be traced to 1898 and had been played continuously since 1954. In recent years, the Luther Trophy awarded annually to the winner of the game had been upgraded, and the teams had eaten together midweek of the game. Last year, the teams wore throwback jerseys.
But the schools are in opposite divisions of the MAC. New conference by-laws make it so non-divisional games are based on an enrollment-prioritized basis.
"Too many times,'' Vroman said, "we've gotten away from traditions.''
Coaching counter
Huntingdon's Jim Zauzig is going for history tonight when the Bearcats play Mount Union.
If Huntingdon wins, it will be Zauzig's 104th as coach. He is 103-43 in 13 years as coach. J.G. Evehard was 104-20-3 guiding the Bearcats from 1919-1931.

National briefs
Dozens, including students, injured in bus crash
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A bus carrying students on a college campus visit crashed on a Kentucky interstate Tuesday, and nearly three dozen people were taken to hospitals, authorities said.
Thirty students from Waggener High School in Louisville were taken to hospitals with various injuries, along with four adults aboard the bus -- including the driver, said Jody Duncan, a spokeswoman for Metro Safe, the emergency management agency for Louisville and Jefferson County.
The extent of injuries ranged from minor to critical, she said.
The students were on their way back to Louisville after visiting Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, said Jefferson County public schools spokesman Ben Jackey. The group was being transported by a charter bus service.
The crash occurred at about 2:30 p.m. as the bus was westbound on Interstate 64 near the Jefferson-Shelby county line. Authorities were investigating the cause, but Duncan said tire trouble was among the possibilities.
Cleveland punishes 12 officers in deadly chase
CLEVELAND -- The city fired a police sergeant, demoted two other supervisors and suspended nine more Tuesday for their roles in a chase in which officers fired 137 shots and killed a fleeing driver and his passenger.
The fired officer, Sgt. Michael Donegan, briefly participated in the November chase but pulled off, parked his patrol vehicle and failed to supervise his officers, police officials said.
"I made a determination that his conduct was so egregious that it merited termination," said Safety Director Martin Flask, who oversees police and fire.
Donegan could not immediately be reached for comment.
The union has said the shootings were justified because the driver tried to ram an officer. No weapon or shell casings were found in the car.
Lt. Brian Betley, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 8 representing supervisors, said all 12 will challenge their punishment.
Feds: Morning-after pill appeal officially on hold
NEW YORK -- A government appeal in the legal fight over allowing girls of any age to buy emergency contraception without prescriptions has officially been put on hold.
Federal prosecutors said Tuesday in a letter to a New York City appeals court both sides have agreed to stop litigating while they await a ruling from a lower-court judge.
The Department of Justice notified U.S. District Judge Edward Korman on Monday it had decided to reverse course and comply with his order to allow sales of the morning-after pills without age or other restrictions. It said it would withdraw the appeal of the order if the judge agrees with its plan to fast-track Food and Drug Administration approval.
Town to restrict baggy pants
WILDWOOD, N.J. -- Mayor Ernest Troiano Jr. thinks he's found a way to put one of this Jersey shore resort town's problems behind it. Wildwood is ready to ban overly saggy pants, no ifs, ands or butts.
The city is set to pass a law today regulating how people dress on its boardwalk. It bans going shirtless, as well as walking on the boardwalk with bare feet.
But the provision that has gained attention is a prohibition on pants that sag more than 3 inches below the hips.
Woman approached kids with chain saw, officials say
WINFIELD, Mo. -- A woman is accused of trying to scare kids by approaching them with a chain saw while wearing a ski mask.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department said Lynn Marie Herzog, of Winfield, Mo., was charged with felony harassment in the Sunday incident.
Patricia Manker called the police after she saw Herzog yelling at her son and his friend and walking toward them with the mask and chain saw.
According to a probable cause statement, Manker and another neighbor said the 50-year-old woman has also been seen photographing and videotaping neighborhood kids.
Herzog was jailed on $10,000 bond. A sheriff's department spokesman said the chain saw was not running during the alleged incident.

Boz Tchividjian, a Liberty University law professor, spoke to journalists about the problem of sex abuse in the evangelical church. His refreshing candor is a valuable voice in the fight against sexual abuse by the clergy. I could not help but think about Robert "Bobby" Price as I read this article.
As reported in the Religious News, he had much to say about this critical issue. His comments about mission agencies is especially relevant.
From the article:
"Mission agencies, "where abuse is most prevalent," often don't report abuse because they fear being barred from working in foreign countries, he said. Abusers will get sent home and might join another agency. Of known data from abuse cases, 25 percent are repeat cases, he said.
Still, he says, he sees some positive movements among some Protestants. Bob Jones University has hired GRACE to investigate abuse allegations, a move that encourages Tchividjian, a former Florida prosecutor. "That's like the mothership of fundamentalism," he said. His grandfather split with Bob Jones in a fundamentalist and evangelical division.
"The Protestant culture is defined by independence," Tchividjian said. Evangelicals often frown upon transparency and accountability, he said, as many Protestants rely on Scripture more than religious leaders, compared to Catholics.
Abusers discourage whistle-blowing by condemning gossip to try to keep people from reporting abuse, he said. Victims are also told to protect the reputation of Jesus."

INFLATION at South Africa's factories was again steady in December compared with the same period in 2011, suggesting benign producer price pressures.
Inflation as measured by the producer price index (PPI) remained at 5.2% year on year last month— the same level as in October and November, and well below consensus estimates for a 5.5% increase.
Higher prices for mining and quarrying, other manufactures' nonelectrical machinery and equipment were counteracted by decreases in food at manufacturing' agriculture' and basic metals.
The latest producer inflation figures bode well for consumer inflation.
"Most importantly in terms of the read-through to consumer inflation' food inflation was very well behaved and contained … with grain and meat prices falling at the agricultural and manufacturing levels," Renaissance Capital economist Elna Moolman said.
During the month itself, PPI fell 0.1%, mainly due to decreases in the price indices of mining and quarrying and electricity.
These decreases were partially counteracted by increases in the price indices of products of petroleum and coal, and chemicals and chemical products.
Despite the contained producer inflation, forecasts are for increases in coming months.
"The December (reading) was lower than expected' but the weak rand exchange rate will (affect) the PPI numbers further down the line," Standard Bank economist Shireen Darmalingam said.
In 2012' the average PPI for domestic output was 6.2% compared with an annual increase of 8.4% in the average PPI (domestic output) in 2011.

OK, this is going to be kind of a chick column, so I ask for your forgiveness right off the bat.
For the last year, I have been observing the games kittens play. It all started when we adopted a litter of kittens: three barn cats, which have since become indoor-outdoor house cats. Whether you like cats or despise them, there are lessons to be learned by the way the three feline siblings interact: their athleticism, their camaraderie and believe it or not, their sportsmanship.
Our trio consists of a long and lean yellow tomcat named Punkin, and his two female sisters: Trouble, a small skittish calico, and Munchkin, a grey tiger-striped cat who started life as the sickly runt of the littler, but is now more like a bull in a china shop.
Cats, by nature, are free agents. When they head out into the world in the morning, they each depart in their own direction: like a cross country runner heading out on a solitary pursuit, they take off toward the cornfield, the flower garden or the barn.
The cats compete with one another for a spot along their food bowl, for butterflies that taunt them just out of reach above their heads, or for a comfy spot in front of the fireplace. They scrap like rugby players, wrestle as though a PIAA gold medal is at stake, and tackle each other with the spirit of an NFL linebacker. They battle as if the world depends on it, then they race each other into the house at night like Olympic sprinters heading for a gold medal across the finish line.
However when it comes right down to it, these cats are also tremendous team players. Like good teammates, they have each other's backs. Punkin is the team captain. When the sound of a truck or a tractor frightens them, the cats race toward a small opening in the barn door. Punkin stops to make sure his sisters are safely inside before he himself follows behind.
When Munchkin gets caught up a tree and is afraid to come down, Trouble lets us know her sister is up there and tries to coax her down. Like college athletes out for a night on the town, they try to keep each other out of mischief.
Of course, animals behave predominately by instinct. Still, for these competitive felines, as for most athletes, there is a joy in the hunt, the battle, the race. At the end of the day, they don't seem to remember who pinned whom, which littermate tackled the other, or which got the biggest share of the cat food. They just snuggle up for a cozy night's sleep, recharging to hunt, battle and race again tomorrow.
If only some human athletes could behave more like animals.

A Guide to Magazines in German
Deutschsprachige Zeitschriften
Reading real German
Even in the age of the Internet and television, Germans rank fourth in the EU after Finland, Sweden and the UK in readership rates (2001 figures). With a newspaper circulation rate of 375 per 1000, Germany is almost tied with Austria (374) and ahead of Luxemburg and Denmark. For comparison, the US rate of 212 (in 1999) is behind most of Europe except for Ireland (191), France (190) and Italy (104). (Sources: New York Times Almanac, World Association of Newspapers)
Although we'll concentrate on German magazines in this article, the newspaper readership figures give us a general idea of print readership (and we also link to German newspapers on our Zeitungen links page). Almost 80% of Germans over the age of 14 read a newspaper regularly. In the United States that figure is only about 57% and dropping steadily year after year, as in Germany.
If you're interested in cars, this might be
a good German reading choice for you.
See our Magazine links.
There are now very few German magazines or newspapers without an online edition. One of the last holdouts, the respected Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), Germany's New York Times, finally went online in 2001. Although most only offer part of their print edition online, and even charge for certain articles, some German periodicals now publish PDF versions of their pages online that can be printed out and look just like the real thing, complete with photos, ads and other graphics.
Despite the great offerings on the Web, I would also suggest the occasional purchase of an actual print copy of Bunte, Der Spiegel, Focus, Stern or other German magazines. That's easy if you're in Europe, but it is also possible in most larger metropolitan areas of the US and Canadaeven at several local sources here in my hometown of Reno, Nevada. At $7.00 to $10.00 per copy, German periodicals tend to be expensive overseas. While a copy of Der Spiegel costs just 3.00 euro (about $3.50) in Germany (3.20 euro in Austria), it usually sells for triple that in the U.S. (My last copy cost me $9.50 in Los Angeles.) A six-month air-speeded subscription can cost over $250 for most German weekly magazines! That's why it's so great to have the Web editions. But having a genuine print version in your hands to read is a very different (and enjoyable) experience from reading it on a computer screen. On the next page, you'll find a link to a source for German periodical subscriptions (Abonnements) in the U.S. and Canada.
I wrote about another cheaper alternative in German Newspapers in the US (and Canada). The cost of a year's subscription to the weekly Neue Presse, published in southern California, is only $49 (less within California). Regularly reading a North American German newspaper like the Staatszeitung (New York) or others is the next best thing to being in a German-speaking country.
So, now you need to know more about German magazines. Read on...
