Nearly 50 local high school seniors were involved in mock government as participants of Buckeye Boys State and Buckeye Girls State.
Buckeye Girls State was June 10 through Saturday at University of Mount Union in Alliance, and Buckeye Boys State was June 10 through Sunday at Bowling Green State University.
Jordan Gase, a senior at Calvert High School, was elected mayor of Merritt city. She said she had planned to run for mayor when she went to Buckeye Girls State because her brother, who went to Buckeye Boys State two years ago, told her to run for it if she didn't want to spent a lot of time campaigning but still wanted to have a leadership position.

Gase said she was happy she ran for the position.
"It was just a great experience," she said.
Gase said it was indescribable how nice it was getting to know all the girls in her city. With 57 girls in the city, it was the second largest at Buckeye Girls State, she said.

"Just knowing that everyone knew that I was giving my hardest and that that's what I really wanted to do. I think they were all happy that I was selected mayor," she said.
Gase said she spent every night after being elected running city meetings and lost her voice from yelling. She said she did her best.
"It was so rewarding," she said.
Gase said she hadn't taken a government class yet, so she wasn't sure how government would be set up. She said she learned behind-the-scenes information about how caucuses work and how positions are run, and the experience made her excited for government class next school year.
She said the best part of Buckeye Girls State was meeting many people and making friends she thinks she will have for a lifetime.
Gase, who didn't want to leave at the end of the week, said Buckeye Girls State was a rewarding and humbling experience, and anyone who gets to go is blessed.
"I can't even get over how fun it was," she said.
Tyler Ruble, a senior at Hopewell-Loudon High School, described his experience at Buckeye Boys State as perfect. He said he wasn't eager to go at first because he wasn't interested in politics and thought politics would be 90 percent of the experience. However, he said he learned more than politics, and the experience was well worth
his time.
Ruble lost an election for a city council seat and was appointed the safety-service director of Spaeth city. He said it was a fun job because he was able to assist the mayor with some of his duties. He also oversaw the police department and city engineer.
"I was very happy with (the appointment)," he said.
Ruble said he enjoyed his job but it wasn't something he wants to do full time.
"I learned I don't want to do it on a regular basis," he said. "It was fun, but it wasn't that much fun."
Ruble said when he was at Buckeye Boys State, he made 40 friends who became his family.
"We all just really bonded," he said.
Gov. John Kasich spoke to the Buckeye Boys State delegation Friday and questioned who was going to be successful. He said being selected for Buckeye Boys State meant they had something going for
them, and somebody saw an outstanding student.
"That's really cool. ... Academic performance matters," he said.
Kasich said he had a lot of dreams when he was a young boy. He encouraged delegates to develop friendships with people who convince them that they can have their dreams.
"Never let anybody talk you out of your dreams. ... You don't want to be hanging around with dream snatchers," he said.
The governor talked to the delegates about having a relationship and friendship with the Lord and said people have a creator who is charge of the universe. He reflected how his parents were killed by a drunk driver and that he had to make up his mind about whether God existed.
"This is about a relationship," he said.
Kasich encouraged delegates to find their purpose and said he believes their purpose is God-given.
"You only live once. ... You are not in this world alone," he said.

Discuss and debate new thinking with like-minded individuals in an informal and relaxed environment.
No Boro players were involved, but two Middlesbrough-born stars ensured the city-elect was in the spotlight during England's enthralling Wembley draw with Ghana on Tuesday night.
When Wolves winger Matt Jarvis joined former Boro star Stewart Downing on the pitch during the second half, it was one of only a few times in England history that two Middlesbrough-born players have represented the nation at the same time.
Jarvis was born in Middlesbrough to Guisborough-based parents in May 1986, just as Boro's very future was called into question during the dark summer of liquidation. Jarvis's parents, Nick and Linda, were former table tennis professions who relocated their table tennis supplies company from Guisborough to Guildford that same year.
Boro's loss is now Wolves' gain, though the player was rejected by Millwall as a teenager and eventually made the grade with Gillingham before earning a move to Molineux.
Tuesday's match was the first time two Middlesbrough-born players had been on the pitch together for England since Pallister Park-born Downing and Marton-born Jonathan Woodgate were both substitutes against the Czech Republic at Wembley in August 2008.
The same pair were also team-mates two months earlier against Trinidad and Tobago when Boro's Redcar-born David Wheater was an unused substitute. They were both on Boro's books when they also took part in England's friendly with Spain at Old Trafford in February 2007.
The previous time two Middlesbrough-born players had appeared in the same England side was for a 1-1 draw against Ireland in Belfast 96 years earlier, back in October 1919 when Boro star Jacky Carr made his international debut alongside Bradford Park Avenue's Bob Turnbull, who was born in South Bank.
Six years earlier, in February 1913, Belfast had also been the location as legendary Boro goalkeeper Tim Williamson (born in North Ormesby) won the last of his seven caps alongside Blackburn Rovers' Grangetown-born Edwin Latheron.
England had first turned to two Boro-born boys against Wales in Wrexham in March 1912 when Williamson joined Everton's Harry Makepeace in the England line-up for a 2-0 victory. Sporting great Makepeace, whose family left Middlesbrough for Liverpool when he was a child, played four times for England at both football and cricket, while playing for Everton and Lancashire respectively.
Other Middlesbrough-born players to win full England caps include Boro greats Brian Clough, Wilf Mannion, Alan Peacock, Stuart Ripley and Mick McNeil.
Then there was Don Revie, who lived in Bell Street, Middlesbrough, until he signed for Leicester City aged 17 in 1944. He won six caps for England in the mid-50s as a Manchester City player before succeeding Alf Ramsey as England manager in 1973.
Middlesbrough-born goalkeeper Ronnie Sewell, of Blackburn Rovers, was 33 when he won his only England cap against Wales in 1924.
Left-back Ted Catlin was born in South Bank and played youth football with Middlesbrough Schools and South Bank before spending his entire career with Sheffield Wednesday, winning five England caps in the mid-1930s.
Another South Bank lad who went on to win England honours was George Hedley, who played once for England whilst with Sheffield United in 1901.

Voters listen to the ballot being read to them over the telephone and will indicate their choice by using the buttons on the telephone. The voted ballot is reviewed for the voter over the telephone and then the ballot is faxed to the voter at the polling place as they wait. The voter will deposit the ballot into the ballot box to be manually counted at the close of the polls. The Secretary of State's office has set up a toll free number that you can call from home for a practice session with this system. The Preview & Practice Toll Free Number is 1-866-491-8683.

Woman allegedly leaves store wearing new clothes, returns next day to shop
When Rita Mary Kulick walked into Rite Aid at 2023 Lycoming Creek Road on June 27, the 56-year-old Old Lycoming Township woman tried on some merchandise clothing and then simply walked out the door without paying, according to township police.
Although she slipped away, she made it easy for police to nab her the next day when she returned to the store reportedly wearing the very same clothes she is alleged to have stolen.
Kulick, of 188 Blanchard Ave., was taken before District Judge James H. Sortman and arraigned on a misdemeanor charge of shoplifting. She was committed to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $30,000 bail. She has since waived her preliminary hearing.
Susquehanna Township man jailed
Saying he was "going to start killing people one by one," Justin Lloyd Lee Sr., 39, of 156 Hillside Drive, Susquehanna Township, was arrested and jailed following a domestic disturbance at his home in which he allegedly threatened his wife and the couple's children about 9:40 a.m. July 8, state police said.
Police allege Lee grabbed one of his sons by the neck and threw him against a refrigerator.
Following his arraignment hours later before District Judge James H. Sortman on charges of terroristic threats and harassment, Lee was committed to the Lycoming Prison in lieu of $15,000 bail.
Shoplifting alleged of city woman
Holley Staley, 26, of 1624 Sherman St., has been charged by Montoursville police with misdemeanor shoplifting after she was caught allegedly trying to steal $29 worth of merchandise on March 22. It is her second such offenses.
Following arraignment before District Judge Gary A. Whiteman, Staley was released on $2,500 bail.
Man allegedly breaks into house
A Nippenose Township man was jailed soon after he allegedly broke into a Main Street home in South Williamsport, according to borough police.
Corie W. January, 40, of 407 Front St., Antes Fort, is accused of breaking into Steven Davis' home at 355 Main St. and stealing a $150 necklace and some cash on the morning of June 2, police said.
Following his arraignment later that day before District Judge James Carn on charges of felony trespassing, theft and criminal mischief, January was committed to the Lycoming County Prison, but since has been released on $18,500 bail.
Convicted felon allegedly steals handgun
Jeret Samuel Harvey, 30, of 920 Poplar St., has been charged with theft, receiving stolen property and convicted felon not to possess a firearm after he allegedly stole a handgun from his cousin Derick Smith's home at 2528 Dove St. on June 30, police said.
Harvey, a convicted burglar, recently was arraigned before Page and jailed in lieu $50,000 bail.
Tioga County woman faces new charges
A Tioga County woman has been arrested on charges of cashing another person's $240 money order that the owner had misplaced while shopping at the Weis Market, 620 W. Third St., city police said.
Connie S. Howard, 49, of Wellsboro, is alleged to have cashed Harry Jones' money order soon after she found it in late February, police said.
Jailed at the state Correctional Institution at Muncy on a parole violation, Howard recently was arraigned before District Judge Allen P. Page III on a charge of theft of lost property and recommitted in lieu of $5,000 bail.

AMHERST -- Town meeting Wednesday night did not take up the issue of purchasing a conservation restriction on property in Cushman as expected because of the late hour at which the article came up.
Instead, the meeting Monday night will be asked to consider taking over the conservation restriction on the 154-acre parcel off Henry Street, Flat Hills and Market Hill roads either by eminent domain or by paying as much as $1.2 million for it. The money would come from grants, gifts and about 30 percent from the town, according Save Historic Cushman, the ad hoc group seeking the restriction.
The town would not be compelled to follow meeting instructions if the body voted to proceed, Town Manager John P. Musante said earlier in the week.
Georgia-based Landmark Properties has an option to buy the 154 acres for $6.5 million and wants to develop and manage a project called "The Retreat", a community of 190 cottage-style units of student housing.
The offer, however -- the second made -- does not yet appear to be a bona fide offer. In an email, Select Board chairwoman Stephanie J. O'Keeffe said that Town Counsel has advised Musante the "revised Purchase & Sale agreement still does not constitute a bona fide offer."
Town Counsel and attorneys for the property owner "are in consultation about their differing interpretations and how they might be resolved," O'Keeffe wrote.
The property is now under Chapter 61A development restrictions, which provide a reduced tax rate for the owner. The town has the first right to purchase the land from W.D Cowls but would have to meet the bona fide price.
Cinda Jones from Cowls said she was surprised the measure did not come up at the meeting, the seventh Town Meeting session.
The body earlier by a one-vote margin referred an article that would have authorized the town to buy Echo Village apartments or an affordability restriction, including by eminent domain, for low-income housing. The article was referred to the Housing and Sheltering Committee. The Echo Village Tenants Association was urging the purchase to preserve affordable housing.
Eagle Crest Management recently purchased the apartments and is raising rents. Tenants in 11 of the 24 apartments have vouchers to help pay the rent. But they have told officials they cannot afford the higher rents that the new company can charge. The Finance Committee recommended against the article.
"We need to craft the best possible solution for the terrible situation at Echo Village," O'Keefe said in an email. She supported referral. "It will be much better to bring Town Meeting a recommendation for that solution with a specific price tag and a clear funding plan, rather than giving broad powers to the Select Board for an undefined outcome of undefined cost and with undefined funding."
Nancy Gregg, co-chair of the sheltering committee, supports the article and agreed with the referral. "I don't think it would have reached the two thirds (vote needed) and it would die," she said, adding that the approach allows the committee to continue working on it.
"I think it has a lot of potential," she said.
The eighth session of Town Meeting begins at 7 p.m. Monday at the Amherst Regional Middle School.

Hi All,
Got a Windows ME box that's acting cranky. I've run Spybot Search &
Destroy and Ad-aware and removed some trash. I've still got a problem
with the registry but Scandisk can't complete repairs 'cause some program
keeps writing to the disk. What process listing program can I use
to find what process are running?
Also, I'm looking for decent freeware or non-crippled shareware to clean
the registry, modify the list of startup programs and similar operations.
Any recommendations would be really appreciated....

No, FEDVIP benefits and premiums do not change because you retire. Since many employees are paid biweekly and use pre-tax premiums, their retirement premiums will appear higher because these premiums are being withheld monthly, not biweekly, and because these premiums are paid post-tax. Pre-tax premiums are not available to annuitants, survivor annuitants or compensationers.
Please visit dental premiums or vision premiums for more information.
If a covered family member dies while you are enrolled in a FEDVIP dental plan or a FEDVIP vision plan, contact BENEFEDS at www.BENEFEDS.com. Those without access to a computer can contact BENEFEDS by phone at 1-877-888-FEDS (3337), TTY 1-877-889-5680.
Federal civilian annuitants are eligible to enroll in dental and vision insurance under FEDVIP. If enrolled, employees automatically carry FEDVIP coverage into retirement if they retired on an immediate annuity under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or another retirement system for employees of the Federal government. Individuals who retire for disability under CSRS, FERS, or another retirement system for employees of the Federal government are also eligible. Federal Civilian Annuitants do not have to be eligible for FEHB coverage. There is no "five year rule" for continuing coverage into retirement like there is in the FEHB health insurance program and the FEGLI life insurance program.

Is there somewhere near me I can go to see this product? There are a number of outlets around the UK that stock Mangar International's products. Not every outlet carries every one of our products and prices may vary. For your local dealers please call Head Office on 01544 267674.
I sent the VAT form back a week ago but have not yet received my refund. VAT refunds are paid in the same manner in which the order was placed. If you paid by a credit or debit card then we will credit your card to the value of your VAT. Customers who paid by cheque will receive a cheque back from us. If after a week you have not received your cheque, or refund onto your card, please call our Head Office on 01544 267674 to ensure we have received your VAT form back.
My invoice and VAT form aren't in the box with the product, where are they? We send the Invoice and VAT form separately from your product, they should usually arrive a couple of days after the goods. If you have not received them within a week please call us on 01544 267674 and we will send copies.
Why do I have to pay VAT now? Last time I ordered I filled in a form and didn't have to pay it. After consulting with the VAT office Mangar International now has to charge VAT on all orders. Customers who are VAT exempt can fill out a short form which once returned to our Head Office will enable us to refund their VAT. Guidance on eligibility is available from the National Advice Service on 0845 010 9000.
Can I take my product on holiday? Yes, all our equipment is portable and is suitable for use throughout the world. Use your normal travel plug. If taking a battery powered Airflo to a country with 110v supply, a 110v Airfo battery charger can be purchased through Mangar International.
Can I use my battery Airflo plugged into the mains power supply? The battery Airflo will work while plugged into the mains, but it will still be running off the battery power. The batteries will charge when the Airflo is not in use but any operation will halt the charging and power will be drained from the batteries. Do not charge the battery from the mains while using the bathing cushion in a water filled bath.
How can I make sure the suckers (suction cups) stick firmly to the bath? We suggest you regularly wipe over the bottom of the four suckers (suction cups) on the base of the bath lift, as this will make sure they have the maximum adhesion onto your bath.
How do I put the hand control on charge? Disconnect the hand control from the actuator, connect the hand control to the battery charger. Plug the battery charger into a mains power supply outside the bathroom and switch on. The amber light on the charger will light up to indicate that the charger is properly connected to the hand control.
How many baths can I get out of 1 charge? The amount of baths can vary on a number of factors; how much the user or users weight, how old the batteries are and most importantly, how well the batteries have been maintained and charged since purchase. We recommend that batteries are left on charge when not in use. Not only will this mean they are always ready to give enough power for several baths, it will also keep the batteries in optimum condition for a longer life.
How often would you recommend that I have my equipment serviced? Once every twelve months, as this would ensure that a certain standard of maintenance is kept and any adjustment or rectification can be done without loss of usage by the user.

Tiffin University's next Good Morning World Breakfast lecture series of the season will feature businesswoman and Olympian Barbra Higgins at 8 a.m. Nov. 29 at Camden Falls Conference Center, 2460 S. SR 231.
Breakfast will be served buffet style at 7:30 a.m. Higgis is to present at 8 a.m. The cost to attend is $12.
The inspiration of the Olympic fencer Higgins, originally from Panama, is to leave an impression on the way those who
attend choose to live their lives. Since every decision and every action may push you closer to or further away from your goals, Higgins recognizes that in every moment lies a choice that could potentially change your life.
Higgins is to present "Everything Matters," explaining how to reap the rewards of an inspired new attitude with the way you work, study, or live. Learn the keys to improve your focus, overcome mediocrity, become a stronger leader, and become a more active participant.
Currently living in California, Higgins has achieved success in sports, entertainment and business. She is an internationally acclaimed entrepreneur, attorney and CEO, CFO and president for corporations and community organizations including VenMundi Inc., an Internet entertainment hub.

Higgins has a law degree from the University of Miami and a BBA in accounting from Florida International University.
She has over 30 years of experience starting, operating and occasionally selling small businesses. Higgins competed in the 1984 Olympic Games and speaks fluent Spanish.

5 Creative Ways People Got Revenge on Cheating Spouses
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
The video of a farmer who discovered that his wife had a profile on a dating site for farmers went viral at the beginning of 2013, which means everyone who watched it now has polio. In the video, the man shows his wife's profile on KissingGates.com, the most terribly named site this side of AnalBumInspector.com. Also, why "gates"? What the fuck does that even mean? Was "FarmDate" too complex? "BumpkinBoning" too esoteric?
After perusing her profile, the man goes outside, loads up a tractor full of horse shit, and dumps it into his wife's prized convertible before again mentioning why you probably shouldn't be using a site like KissingGates.com to meet people, you filthy, stanky harpy. Then we all have a good laugh and/or consider how it is that we, as a people, evolved to the point where we react to such things by filling each others' cars with literal shit.
Soon after the video appeared, speculation began circulating that it was in fact a viral ad campaign thought up by the makers of KissingGates.com. How do we convince people to use our site? Maybe ... can we convince them they'll get caught and have their valuable possessions destroyed by a jealous partner? Good plan!
I'm not saying this video is not an ad (which I refuse to refer to as "viral" because it's a shitty, meaningless buzz term that people on morning news shows use without having even the slightest idea what it means). I'm just saying that if it is an ad, it fucking sucks. This is like Pringles trying to make you by chips by telling you you'll get your hand stuck in the can and have to get it surgically removed if you buy them. This is like Spirit Airlines running a commercial that actually shows how terrible their service is while still expecting you to fly them. It's like a hooker showing you pictures of what your infection will look like once it's in full-blown gross mode before you actually pork.
Getty Images/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"... and this here is what that burning feeling around your butthole looks like!"
I like to think this video is legit, because as a revenge video it's pretty great -- it's just several hundred pounds of literal shit in a car. That was hilarious in Back to the Future, and it's hilarious here.
This is as good a place as any to also bring up billboards, which surely someone was going to comment on eventually, something witty like "Hey Felix, what about the wife who paid for a billboard to out her cheating husband? That was a humdinger!" Humdinger it was, good reader, but alas, the ding it hummed was too good to be true. Turns out all those billboards you've heard about are straight-up lies. The most famous one, from a wife named Jennifer in Greensboro, North Carolina, was an ad for a yogurt place. A yogurt place.
Listen, I don't eat a lot of yogurt, and I don't understand the motivation behind going out for yogurt. If I need yogurt, I'll buy some at the store and eat it and it'll be vaguely satisfying. But the people who go out for yogurt are apparently all like "Look, infidelity! Let's have yogurt!" or something. I have no idea. Also, if it doesn't mention yogurt, how the hell does it sell yogurt? Doesn't a viral ad campaign need to make some kind of sense? At all? At least the poop one was for a relevant website.

Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Sometimes a man wakes up one morning and thinks, "I absolutely cannot wait to do the humpy-jumpy with each and every woman I meet from now on." This is a terrible thought. Well, not always. But say you're a married father and your wife is no longer one of those humpees. And also maybe she's got a bit of a temper. Oh, that temper.
So Donessa Davis, a man with a curiously effeminate name, thought it would be best for him to put ads on Craigslist advertising his desire to ram his penis into things, notably lady inlets. Up to five women answered him, and they would meet at motels and most likely discuss the works of Luce Irigaray and sample artisanal cheese. Just kidding, they wiped their genitals on each others' faces and probably drank Pabst, the only food allowed in most motels.
Davis' wife discovered that her husband had been giving out rides on the baloney pony and took offense to this. Rather than confronting her husband directly, however, she contacted the women he'd been meeting, because apparently Davis had all the Internetting skills of a frontier-era prospector and had no idea how to keep his dalliances private.

"My Hotmail password was 1234, how did she crack it?"
After speaking with the women Davis had been shtooping, a plot was hatched. One of them contacted Davis to arrange a meeting. I like to think he was giddily anticipating some grunting and rutting about on sheets of suspect cleanliness while he met up with her and allowed her to both shackle and blindfold him. It was at this point that two more women he'd been seeing were invited into the room, and he probably realized something was afoot. And around the time they began to superglue his penis to his stomach, he was probably wishing he'd just gone home and watched a rerun of Big Bang Theory.
As you might expect, this kind of thing is illegal, so the women were arrested and charged with false imprisonment, and one also got a sexual assault and battery charged tossed in for punching him in the face, plus that penis gluing incident. Davis himself had to go to the hospital, where they busted out the Jaws of Life or whatever it is that detaches one's shlong from one's stomach in times of need. And he probably also learned a very valuable lesson.

It's funny... the side of my family who ate the most pork (rural folk, pork is cheap)... ZERO heart problems, no stroke, not anything that would indicate coagulated blood.
(talking grandparents here)
They ate generous amounts of both fresh non-cured pork and bacon. And always reserved bacon fat to cook in.
Both still mentally fully healthy, and alive in their mid 90's.
The other side of my family.
The city folks who were more "health conscious" and replaced pork/bacon with margarine and leaner foods when those fads came along, but still worked an active labor job.
Heart bypass... prostate cancer... Alzheimers in both... much poorer health in their later years.
Both deceased.
One just passed at 96.
The other passed several years prior.
The pork isn't worrying me. ;)

The tune's as familiar as a broke-in pair of boots. Yup, it's that old Willie Nelson classic, the one about blue eyes cryin' in the rain. Only that burly, bearded guy singin' it ain't Willie, and neither's that shrimp standin' next to him in the secondhand cowboy suit. And the song—it's the same melody all right, but these two ain't doin' no lullaby lament. They're singin' about little old ladies on the interstate: "In the tail-light's glow I see 'em/Blue hairs driving in my lane/ When she hit me and departed/I knew there'd be no insurance claim."
The two progenitors of parody are Sandy Pinkard, 37, and Richard Bowden, 38, a pair of music-business veterans who have come to country audiences with puns blazing. Pinkard, who had penned such Nashville hits as You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma and Coca-Cola Cowboy, and Bowden, once a backup player for Linda Ronstadt, first joined forces two years ago. The collaboration has kindled a comedy act that now puts the heat to many of country music's icons.
Who else, for instance, would write "Elvis was a narc/In rhinestones after dark/He did his best to keep Memphis drug free/He knew every pill he'd eat/Would be one less on the street/Elvis took them all for you and me"? That ditty has yet to be recorded, but other such gems have been collected on Writers in Disguise, the duo's first album, released in March. Among the LP's spoofs: Delta Dawg, Drivin' My Wife Away and the aptly titled Somebody Done Somebody's Song Wrong.
For the two songwriters, the trip to the top has been as skewed as their lyrics. Pinkard, a half-Cajun native of Louisiana, played with folkie Ramblin' Jack Elliott, worked as an opening act for country singer John Anderson and cranked out a string of movie tunes for Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds. Bowden, who hails from Linden, Texas, toured with Ronstadt, Roger McGuinn and Dan Fogelberg, and once was a member of Shiloh, an early 1970s band that included soon-to-be Eagle Don Henley.
Even before they met both musicians had shown a well-developed sense of the screwball. Pinkard once brought three guitar cases full of baby chicks to Motown's L.A. headquarters and sent the critters by elevator to the record company's offices. "I wanted to get the chickens adopted," he explains with a smile. Bowden, for his part, pulled his most memorable stunt while traveling with the Ronstadt band. Clad only in shaving cream (two cans' worth), he walked through a hotel lobby and calmly asked a flabbergasted desk clerk for a razor blade.
In April 1982 the kindred would-be comics met in the Nashville offices of producer Jim Ed Norman. "We walked out 15 minutes later and went for a ride," recalls Pinkard. "A hell of a long ride." Indeed. The two now spend 200 days a year on the road, often traveling in an ancient Airstream trailer pulled by a black '68 Caddy they bought for $600. At the wheel sits "Rugged" Robb Strandlund, their ex officio driver, roadie and accompanist (and co-composer of the old Eagles hit Already Gone). Off the road the pair spends time in the rustic house near Nashville where Bowden lives with Karen, his wife of 12 years.
Not everyone has greeted Pinkard and Bowden's act enthusiastically, and Jimmy Dean, for one, refused to give the necessary permission for a parody of Big Bad John. Still, the pair had little trouble roping in some famous friends for help on their Writers album. Henley contributes some lead guitar work, his fellow former Eagle, Glenn Frey, and Jackson Browne and Dan Fogelberg kick in with some background vocals, and even the Osmond Brothers appear for some professional knee slapping. For the starchy few who might object to the Pinkard and Bowden parodies, the partners have already penned a reply on one of their album cuts: "Frankly, scallop, I don't give a clam."

Let's go over today's nonfarm payroll report and its implications by answering five questions.
What was the unemployment rate in June?
June's unemployment rate came to 7.6% -- unchanged from the previous month but above the consensus forecast of 7.5%.
How many jobs did the economy add?
Another 195,000 jobs were added -- higher than the consensus forecast of 155,000 but in line with the past year's average monthly addition of 182,000.
Hang on a minute -- if the economy added more jobs than forecast, then why is the unemployment rate higher than forecast?
The labor force increased by 177,000 in June, and much of that increase consisted of people getting back into the labor market. (The number of unemployed people who aren't part of the labor force because they aren't job-hunting decreased by 132,000.) Although the unemployment rate was unchanged in June, the employment-population ratio increased to 58.7% from 58.6% in May.
Any other good news?
Job additions for April and May were revised upward by an aggregate 70,000.
What are the implications for the stock market?
Today's jobs report is being well received by investors. The S&P 500 futures peaked a few minutes after the release of the report at 1.35% before giving up some of those gains. In the cash market, U.S. stocks are ahead this morning, with the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) and the narrower, price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) up 0.2% and 0.12%, respectively, at 10:15 a.m. EDT. The CBOE Volatility Index (VOLATILITYINDICES: ^VIX ) , Wall Street's "fear gauge," is down 1.85%.
The stock market appears to have adjusted to the idea that the Federal Reserve expects to begin reducing its monthly bond purchases ("quantitative easing") later this year, consistent with (and contingent upon) its improved outlook for the economy. These latest figures appear to bolster that outlook and may therefore reassure investors that the Fed will not withdraw its support prematurely. All told, today's solid report takes us a step closer to an exit from quantitative easing, which will enable investors to focus more closely on stock fundamentals, rather than Fed-watching -- an unmitigated positive.

TRENTON — Bringing the New York Yankees to Trenton was just a pie-in-the-sky wish 18 years ago.
"I thought, boy, wouldn't it be great one day to get the Yankees here?" Trenton Thunder president Joe Finley said.
And when it happened in 2003 — when the Trenton Thunder team became a Yankees affiliate — it was a big day for Mercer County.
The two teams solidified their partnership yesterday afternoon, inking a new deal that will extend the Yankees' association with the Trenton Double-A minor league team til 2022.
Thunder staff and Yankees COO Lonn Trost and general manager Brian Cashman gathered at Waterfront Park yesterday to sign the new player development contract.
"This is the biggest commitment we've made, not financially, but in terms of commitment of the relationship we have on the books now and we're very proud of that," Cashman said.
The current agreement between the Yankees and Thunder wasn't set to expire til 2014, but Cashman said the Yankees wanted to cement their presence in Trenton for the next decade, citing the large number of Yankees fans in the Central Jersey region.
"All we've ever heard about were all the Yankees fans nestled down here in Mercer County," he said. "It's just been an awesome marriage and there's no reason it shouldn't continue. This is home. They are a part of our family."
Originally founded with the Tigers as its parent club, the Thunder also spent seven years affiliated with the Red Sox.
Since the Yankees came on in 2003, Finley said, the team has won two Eastern League Championships, is on track to finish in first place this year and reach the playoffs for the sixth time. It also has had the opportunity to foster current Yankees stars like Robinson Cano, Brett Gardner, Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes. Prior to their relationship with the Yankees, the Thunder were a minor league affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, dating back to 1994.
"To be part of the Yankees family, even if you're not a Yankee fan, there's something about the New York Yankees," Finley said. "It's a piece of Americana. It's an iconic franchise, it's the most famous sports franchise in the entire world, and we're just lucky and thankful to be part of the Yankees family."
The contract extension will also continue the practice of letting Yankees players rehab with the Thunder. Past and present players like Hideki Matsui, Andy Pettitte and Derek Jeter have been shipped down to Trenton to ease back into the game after an injury, with last year's two-game appearance by Jeter setting record attendance levels at Waterfront Park.
"We're proud to be comfortable, more than comfortable, about sending our assets, our prized possessions, through Trenton as they try to find their way all the way to New York," Cashman said.
The financial terms of the contract renewal were not discussed at the press conference, although Thunder officials said player development contracts typically cover team operation costs only.
Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes said the deal was executed smoothly, with little wheeling or dealing, a testament to the fine organization Thunder staff have built.
"This came about because of so many things that have been said before," Hughes said.
"We have a good facility, we run a very, very tight ship. We do have a fantastic staff here. From the minute you drive through and park your car, you feel welcome at Thunder stadium and we want that to continue."
The other announcement yesterday centered around Thunder manager Tony Franklin, who was named the 2012 Eastern League Manager of the Year. Franklin has been with the Thunder for six years and earlier this year celebrated his 1,000th win with the team.

The small town of TAKACHIHO (高千穂) lies on the border between Kumamoto and Miyazaki prefectures, where the Gokase-gawa has sliced a narrow channel through layers of ancient lava. In winter, when night temperatures fall below freezing, local villagers perform time-honoured Yokagura dances in the old farmhouses, bringing back to life the gods and goddesses who once inhabited these mountains (see p.692). The main reason for visiting Takachiho is to see a few excerpts from this dance-cycle, but combine that with Takachiho gorge, a pretty spot whose strange rock formations are woven into local myths, plus a dramatic journey from whichever direction you arrive, and Takachiho becomes somewhere to include on any Kyūshū tour.

Myths and dance in Takachiho
Myths and dance in Takachiho
Takachiho's famous traditional dances have their roots in local legend. The story goes that the Storm God, Susano-ō, once destroyed the rice fields of his sister, the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, and desecrated her sacred palace. Understandably offended by these actions, Amaterasu hid in a cave and plunged the world into darkness. The other gods tried to entice her out with prayers and chants, but nothing worked until, finally, a goddess named Ama-no-uzume broke into a provocative dance. The general merriment was too much for Amaterasu, who peeped out to see the fun, at which point the crowd grabbed her and hauled her back into the world. Takachiho locals also claim that nearby mountain Takachiho-no-mine – not the mountain of Ebino Kōgen – is where Amaterasu's grandson, Ninigi-no-mikoto, descended to earth with his mirror, sword and jewel to become Japan's first emperor.
A visit to Takachiho is not complete without viewing a sample of this dance at the Kagura-den. In one hour you see three or four extracts from the full cycle, typically including the story of Amaterasu and her cave, and ending with an explicit rendition of the birth of the Japanese nation in which the two "gods" leave the stage to cavort with members of the audience – to the great delight of all concerned. The performers are drawn from a pool of around 550 local residents, aged from 5 to 80 years, who also dance in the annual Yokagura festival (mid-Nov to mid-Feb). In a combination of harvest thanksgiving and spring festival, 24 troupes perform all 33 dances in sequence in private homes and village halls, lasting through the night and into the next day.

Baby Name Poll Results
Sarah Elizabeth vs. Sadie Isabella vs. Amira Elise
I wanted to honor both of my grandmothers with our daughters name, because I am very close to them. But Sarah Elizabeth is just... so plain and seemingly common. Both grandmas said not to worry about honoring them - to pick a name we love because having a little girl to hold is enough for them. However - I'd still really like to honor them. So hubby and I picked out a couple of names with the same meanings. What do you think? Suggestions are welcome too! Thanks - Candace

Letters to the editor: Teamsters wrong to fight firings
My dislike for unions was reinforced when I read about the Erie city employees who were arrested on charges they committed a class three felony and were fired, only to have the Teamsters union sue the taxpayers on behalf of those charged with the crimes ("Union challenges firings," Erie Times-News, June 5).
The Teamsters claim the city is in breach of contract for not following procedure in the termination of the employees. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but didn't the employees breach the contract if they committed the crimes they were charged with?
It is the taxpayers' money that is at stake; it's not the city's money, as most people will look at the situation. Some will say that the city can spare to lose a few bucks, but they fail to realize this money is from people like grandma and grandpa on a fixed income, almost ready to lose their home because they can barely afford their property taxes. This money is from people who struggle every day, who do not have pensions, who live from moment to moment. That is who these five were charged with stealing from, and for them to sue these very same people who provided their paychecks is not only egregious, it should be criminal.
They were charged with committing a felony -- and the union is going to fight for them to be compensated for their "loss"? What does that tell you about right and wrong?
Carlyle Lee Jr.Erie
Globalism tops national interests
Daniel DeCoursey's letter regarding the free-market system may have had some relevance to the kind of capitalism that prevailed in the 1950s and '60s, the greatest growth period in American history ("Academia fosters liberal bias," Erie Times-News, May 2).
Back then, New Deal regulations curbed the excesses of banks and corporations. There was a solid industrial sector with strong unions, and the wealthy were subject to much higher income tax rates. With the exception of minorities, there was far greater equality and mobility. Higher education was affordable, free in California. And more people had a home and fewer people had many homes.
That all changed under President Ronald Reagan with the freeing of restraints on capital. Reagan described the savings and loan grab as hitting the jackpot. Eventually, the development of hedge funds and derivatives and other schemes contributed to a huge bubble that burst, resulting in massive bailouts for U.S. institutions that were "too big to fail" as well as at least 11 foreign banks.
Back before the existence of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the World Trade Organization, our national interests were construed by our leadership to involve some benefits to the majority of U.S. citizens.
Today, globalism supersedes national interests, fostering continuous war, financed primarily by U.S. taxpayers. The few who benefit by this system are sitting on trillions of dollars committed to speculation rather than production. Without new regulation, there is nothing to prevent the continuation of a system that is detrimental to the planet and most of the people attempting to exist on it.

Obama disregards fundamental rights
Over the past five years we have seen with our very eyes the complete disregard for a person's right to speak freely as our Founding Fathers intended with the First Amendment. I believe our attorney general lied under oath, saying he knew nothing of the treachery his minions brought into our homes by invading our e-mails, phones and through other such covert operations. For you see, when this happens to just one person, it affects us all. Our government spies and deceives us with an unlimited supply of guile to eradicate our freedom.
The Internal Revenue Service was found to be targeting groups that do not back the current administration's ideals of social change or dare I say socialism. Most laugh at the mere word, saying we are but conspiracy nuts and our president will protect and care for us. President Barack Obama is not a leader but a celebrity. He hides behind closed doors, letting his lackeys do his bidding, so he can say his hands are clean. Sorry, Mr. President, you are the leader of these United States and the buck does stop with you.
Standing at his podium reading from a teleprompter, he spouts words of double meaning to again hide the truth. Meanwhile, the rain falls as a proud Marine holds an umbrella over our king, so his majesty will not get wet. Shameful!
We the people must open our eyes to the lies and treachery brought upon our republic by these men and women we elected to serve and protect our fundamental rights and principles, or one day we will awaken to a country lost because of our ignorance in demanding the truth, or one day we could awaken to a police state controlled by the iniquitous.

Social Security overhaul doable
What if, as of Jan. 1, no one would be required to pay federal income tax on Social Security benefits (85 percent of benefit amount received or less depending on taxable income) and to never pay such a tax ever?
What if benefits would be increased so that future beneficiaries starting Jan. 1 would be able to receive full Social Security based on Social Security earnings at age 62 and still be able to work and earn unlimited income?
What if reduced Social Security benefits would be payable at age 56 with no penalty ever for continuing to work as of Jan. 1?
What if on Jan. 1 there was no longer any means test for Social Security benefits?
What if all other Social Security benefits for widows, dependent children, disability claimants, ex-spouses, surviving spouses, in accord with all present laws, rules and regulations, would still exist?
This can be accomplished by Congress passing laws to do the following:
1. Remove the cap on wages, earnings, etc., presently about $115,500 (note there is no cap with regard to the Medicare tax). There would be zero increased monthly Social Security benefits paid with respect to Social Security taxes paid on wages in excess of $200,000.
2. Cut the cost-of-living adjustment starting on Jan. 1 in half and use, starting then, the chained cost-of-living criteria.
3. A special tax with zero Social Security benefits would be paid on unearned income, including interest, dividends, capital gains, but not on unrealized appreciation of assets, with an exemption of $3,000. The rate would be 3 percent.
I believe this plan is doable and will work.
I think that the amounts of additional revenue paid into the Social Security system plus the savings, regarding halving cost of living, will be more than adequate to pay for these increased benefits.

Five patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis were studied to evaluate dietary intake, glucose absorption from the dialysate, and urinary and dialysate nitrogen removal. The study was done on an outpatient basis, while the patients ingested their usual diets and went about their usual activities. The results indicate that patients greatly overestimated their caloric and protein intake, which was 0.71 to 0.96 g/kg bodyweight per day. Dialysate glucose contributed considerably to total caloric intake, because approximately 75% of the dialysate glucose was absorbed independent from total glucose administered, providing 20% to 29% of the total caloric intake. We concluded that protein requirement in clinically stable continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients still needs defining because the patients may be anabolic with lower protein intakes than previously recommended.

A quiet warehouse door opens and two cats chase each other up a tower of wine barrels as Layne Montgomery lets out a jovial laugh and talks about the winemaking process.
As you walk into his small yet charming tasting room, he points out the wine barrels he has taken apart to serve as a backdrop for the bar. Since he needs to economize his space, his office is on top of the wine bar, decorated with the same barrels, only reachable by a simple ladder. In life, we are seldom presented with the chance to turn our hobbies into something larger. For Montgomery, his hobby has evolved into something much larger.

2-4 years? Jesus ..... And mrazek is gonna spend 6 yrs in the ahl? I feel another prospect not being happy which I'd understand and then we trade him and lie ah la jarnkrok and say mrazek was nothing but a career backup coming if that's the case
Mrazek's only 21. Gotta think Monster will have 2-4 more years here in the D, unless we end up going with Petr over Jimmy
If it's not monster I see another backup signing here for 1 year and then we bring down mrazek ...think he's 22 .... One more year in the ahl and then He backs up for a year and probably ends up playing 40 games cause howard will probably have yet again another injury and people will see his greatness

Thanko's USB Air Cushion.
Just place this round cushion on your chair & plug it into the USB port & you get cool air on your bottom.
"The air outside is sucked from the fan, it is possible to maintain coolly by the fact that the wind is sent to the whole seat. It is the little mechanism, but this is cool well enough, it is. The countless hole to open the seat, because the wind keeps flowing from there, it has become the mechanism where the whole seat becomes cool."
"Those who suffer from warm cheeks may find this bottom cooling device quite interesting. The rest of us will have to be content simply making fun of the device."

Featured Golf News
Asia Rising - Nine Bridges Ascends to No. 45 in World Rankings
The Club at Nine Bridges continues its climb up golf's list of top courses in the world. The Golfplan design on Juju Island, South Korea, a frequent host to the World Club Championship, has increased the visibility of Asian golf.
The 3rd green at Nine Bridges
Golf Magazine U.S. issued its new World Top 100 ranking as part of the September 2013 edition. The Club at Nine Bridges now sits at No. 45, up four places from the last balloting, in 2011. Designed by Santa Rosa, Calif.-based Golfplan, Nine Bridges opened in 2001, cracked Golf 's World Top 100 in 2005 (at No. 95), and has steadily moved up with each biennial ranking - jumping 50 places in eight years.
The Club at Nine Bridges remains one of the few Asian courses to have gained global top-100 standing, according to Golf Magazine. Only Japan's Hirono GC ranks higher (37). Other Asian designs so ranked include two more from Japan - Kawana (71), Tokyo GC (93) - and China's new Shanqin Bay (78).
Golf Digest, the other major player in world golf ranking, does not issue a global top 100. Instead, it issues a U.S. Top 100 and a Top 100 Outside the U.S. The latter ranking, issued in May 2012, lists The Club at Nine Bridges at No. 33, up 31 places from the previous balloting.
Both top-100 rankings are routinely dominated by U.S. and U.K. courses, plus a handful from Australia. Most ranked courses were built more than 80 years ago. Indeed, Nine Bridges and Shanqin Bay, opened in 2012, are the only Asian top 100 courses built in the modern era.
The architects responsible for these older, classic designs have all gone to the great drafting board in the sky. Golfplan Partner David Dale, the man responsible for Nine Bridges, is one of only eight living architects with designs ranked in Golf's World Top 50. The others are Tom Doak, Pete Dye, Ben Crenshaw/Bill Coore, Jack Nicklaus and Martin Hawtree.
"That's pretty good company and we're honored to keep it," said Dale. "I think many golf observers look at Nine Bridges - because it's in South Korea, and because it's still quite new - and wonder how good it really is. But I think we've all seen highly publicized, quite excellent courses appear on these top 100 lists somewhere at 75 or higher, and linger there for a couple years before falling off the list. Why? Because there are frankly so many great new courses. And there are just as many great, classic courses that have improved themselves and/or better exposed themselves to panelists.
"But Nine Bridges has done the opposite of fade away," added Dale. "It keeps moving up! And there are three big reasons for this, in my view: 1) We have been at work there for the last 10 years continually refining the strategic and aesthetic experience; 2) the club's hosting of the World Club Championship and other major events has exposed it to a global TV audience, tour pros and dozens of club champions and golf purists from other top 100-caliber private clubs; and 3) It really is that good."
The 16th at Nine Bridges
Dale said Nine Bridges didn't buy into the idea of nonstop course improvement/evolution until it had been open several years. Since 2004, however, that work has been continual and methodical. Golfplan and the club already have further refinements mapped out through 2017, some in the environmental realm (turf reduction and fescue/native grass rehabilitation), though most aim to maximize the layout strategically.
"We'll be doing all the things many top 100 clubs are doing today - to maintain architectural integrity and improve upon it," Dale said. "This is not about visual appeal. It's about playing strategies, options and opportunities off the tee, from the approach areas . . . There are at least three green surfaces at Nine Bridges we have refined to expand cupping areas, for example. But we'll also be doing meticulous, small-bore projects, such as lowering by several centimeters the collars on certain approach lines. We've completed this on the greens at hole (Nos.) 2, 6, 8, 14, 15 & 16. We plan to do this at 4, 13, 17 & 18, so players can better access pins located just over bunkers.
"That sort of attention to detail is what all classic courses do today - restoring their courses while, at the same time, modernizing their facilities to keep up with the technology. Look at Oakmont [CC, outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; No. 6 on the Golf World Top 100]: There are more church pews in that famous bunker today, to maintain the impact of this hazard on modern tee shots - there were six 1935, eight in 1973 and 12 since 2005. We are deploying this same tactic at Nine Bridges, where we've placed new bunkers to impact big hitters but not club members."
The World Club Championship (WCC) is an amateur event pitting two-man teams in a three-day, Ryder Cup-style competition. Since 2002, the Club at Nine Bridges has hosted the event nine times (the Golf Channel will air the 2013 WCC on December 18 and 24; Sky Sports will reportedly air the broadcast around the same time). Nine Bridges also hosted the World Samsung Challenge, the event that introduced LPGA golf to Korea, from 2002 to '05.
"Our clients at Nine Bridges have certainly made it their business to expose the course to as many panelists as possible," Dale said, adding that Golfplan's next high-profile opening takes place this December, in the Philippines, with the unveiling of Anvaya Cove Golf & Sports Club. "This is partly an acknowledgement of their ambitions, but also that Asian courses simply aren't examined or rated with the same thoroughness as North American or British courses, be they old or new.
"We finessed this issue at Nine Bridges from the very outset by exposing the client to the historic, classic models we thought would work best on this piece of terrain," Dale noted. "We all made a pilgrimage to Scotland, to Gleneagles specifically. Our vision for Nine Bridges was simple: You might as well be in Perthshire, but for the kimchee and noodles at the turn."
About Golfplan
Golfplan has worked in 75 different countries around the world, completing more than 210 original courses and redesigns. Partners Dale and Kevin Ramsey are based out of Golfplan's U.S. headquarters in Santa Rosa, Calif. Since its founding in 1972, Golfplan has built some celebrated courses in some exotic locations:
Pezula Golf Club, on South African cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean;
Bali Handara, New Kuta and Jagorawi, in the diverse tropical environments of Indonesia;
Shore Gate, in America's storied sand barrens, just a few miles from Pine Valley and the boardwalks of Atlantic City, N.J.;
The mountainous Bonari Kogen GC, Japan's top-rated resort course and recently rated No. 4 in the country;
The Club at Nine Bridges, on Jeju Island, South Korea, currently ranked No. 45 on Golf's World Top 100;
Qiandaohu Country Club, voted China's best new golf course for 2009; and The Serapong Course at Sentosa Golf Club, home to the Singapore Open.
