Spreading kindness could be anything from picking up a piece… [Read More]

An affectionate term for a child, particularly when it isn't listening to the adult, the implication being that the child's ears (lugs) have been fucked (or buggered) and can no longer hear as a result.

Welcome to the Tenth Annual Longwood University Undergraduate Medieval Conference. The conference theme of "Meeting in the Middle" highlights the growing place of Longwood and Farmville as a hub of Medieval Studies. Not only have faculty and library resources been augmented of late, but Farmville itself is central to a growing web of medievalists in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland. In recent years, it has been our pleasure to see participants from almost the whole of the Atlantic coast. For that reason, we welcome back all of our friends who joined us last year, along with new attendees to a buffet of scholarship and collegial rejuvenation.
This year's papers will coalesce around the theme of "The View from the North during the Middle Ages." We invite the best undergraduate scholarship of our region to come and nuance, overthrow, perhaps even confirm our theme. Further details on proposing a paper topic are available in our Call for Papers. In addition, we continue to welcome still more disciplines to the conference. Thus, this year's conference will also feature music, drama, art, and military technology.
Our plenary speakers highlight the diversity of medieval studies in the United States, as we draw upon the resources of our region and beyond. Joining us in 2015 will be medieval archaeologist and Old Norse saga-translator Dr. Jesse Byock, UCLA, whose work includes new guides to learning Old Norse; and Anglo-Saxonist Dr. Lilla Kopár, The Catholic University, Washington, DC, who specializes in Old English texts and Viking Age monuments.
This year's conference will also have the fourth competition for the best student paper. The Abels-Johnson Award for Excellence is named for the two scholars who gave us examples of their own outstanding scholarship at the first of these conferences, back in 2007: Richard Abels of the United States Naval Academy and David Johnson of Florida State University. Interested students should contact either of the conference organizers so as to submit their manuscript in advance of the conference. The award will be announced on the Saturday of the conference after being judged by one of the plenary speakers.
All of the panels on Friday and Saturday will be held in the Nance Room of the Dorrill Dining Hall, with registration taking place in the foyer of the Nance Room. Often called the D-Hall, the Dorrill Building is building #28 on the campus map, nearly at the very center of campus. Parking for the entire conference has been reserved in the Brock Commons Parking Garage (in the slots marked for visitors), which is located at #48 on the campus map. It can be approached from either the east or west on Bedford St. There will be directional signs to assist you in locating the parking lot and the meeting facilities.
The links to the left should take you to all the information you might need concerning the conference, lodgings, directions, and such. If, however, we have managed not to cover something you are curious about, please write either of the Conference Directors, Larissa Tracy and Steven Isaac, who will respond shortly.

The first Civil War engagement in the Shenandoah Valley, the Battle of Falling Waters, was fought in north Berkeley County. The fight on July 2, 1861 was around the Porterfield House, a large log structure built by the grandfather of the Alamo's Davy Crockett, which still stands along U.S. 11.
This Civil War battlefield is currently being heavily developed. However, unlike some sites that are just recently being threatened, Falling Waters has been facing various waves of development for a long time. Although there has been a lot of recent development, much of the site had already been disturbed.
Like many battlefields in the Shenandoah Valley, such as Cedar Creek, the construction of Interstate 81, cut right through the site. Then the highway brought commercial growth in the form of motels, convenience stores and gas stations. So Falling Waters already had seen development 50 years ago. A large truck stop that stood next to I-81 for many years has been replaced by a WalMart and a thriving residential community has also sprung up.

Interpretive signs are installed at the site of the Falling Waters Battlefield, to share the history of the 1861 battle.
This part of Hammond's Mill Road was once part of a battlefield where soldiers were captured during the Civil War.
Interpretive signs are installed at the site of the Falling Waters Battlefield, to share the history of the 1861 battle.
Although from a preservation perspective that may sound grim, a lot of progress has been made at Falling Waters. In 2008s, "Stumpy's Hollow", where Confederate JEB Stuart surprised and captured most of a company of Pennsylvania Infantry, was donated to the Falling Waters Battlefield Association.
In addition, two West Virginia Civil War Trails interpretive signs have been placed on the site and two more are scheduled to be installed in late spring. Fortunately, 14 acres of farmland still surround the Porterfield House at the core of the battlefield, at least for now.
Although I am specifically addressing Falling Waters, there are a number of battlefields that, except for a postage stamp-sized piece of land, have virtually ceased to exist. Yellow Tavern in Richmond, Salem Church outside Fredericksburg and Chantilly quickly come to mind. Those sites were "lost" a long time ago.
Just because those sites have been developed does not mean we should ignore them. Development does not erase what happened there. Even though a site may be developed, it can still be interpreted. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines interpret as "to explain or tell the meaning of," which is exactly what needs to happen at these heavily developed sites.
This brings me to the question I want to address. Why should we preserve, or even interpret, a heavily developed battlefield?
On occasion I am asked: why spend any effort on a site that is mostly "gone?" There are a number of good reasons, the first being education.
Many times when our FWBA booth is set up at events I hear a member of the public say something to the effect of, "I've lived here all my life and I didn't know a battle was fought here."
After we take a few minutes to explain the battle and use modern landmarks to describe exactly where it was fought, we often hear something like, "Wow, we have a battlefield!" You can clearly hear the pride in their voice.
What changed? The battlefield has been there for almost 150 years. What changed is they learned something they did not previously know.
This is the best example I can give of the importance of education. If the public is not aware of a battlefield it certainly will not be preserved. Interpretation is the best way to create awareness.
Another good reason to interpret a site is the often overused term "heritage tourism." Proximity to I-81 has ensured the Falling Waters area will be in demand, but it also makes it a prime candidate for heritage tourism.
Believe it or not, even a small site like Falling Waters in its current state attracts tourism. I am frequently contacted by someone who will be traveling through the area and would like to swing by the Falling Waters Battlefield. Heritage tourism is very real and does bring money into the local economy.
With a small site travelers can stop to read the interpretive markers and then grab a meal or fill up their vehicle before heading on their way. In addition, local government does not have to provide additional schools, roads, utilities or other infra-structure to support this influx of revenue.
Of course any battlefield preservation implies green space, a small amount of grass on which a couple of interpretive signs can sit. Even this small amount of landscaping would provide a welcome respite in an area of neon signs and commercial development.
The FWBA has approached local garden clubs to help us develop landscaping plans using native, low-maintenance and drought-resistant vegetation for our various patches of land.
Remembering the battlefield also honors the soldiers who fought there. Regardless of which side they fought for, these men were all American soldiers and deserve to be remembered.
Whether on the Porterfield farm or later in a hospital or prison camp, some of them gave their "last full measure of devotion." If we allow where they fought and died to be forgotten, we are neglecting their memory as well. Interpretation of the battlefield honors these soldiers.
The last reason to interpret a battlefield that is already heavily developed may sound a little crazy, but is not as far-fetched as it may seem. At some point in the future parts of a developed battlefield could be reclaimed.
Reclaiming a battlefield is not as good as preserving it in the first place, but reclamation does exactly what it says. Part of the battlefield is restored.
Recently there have been a number of unlikely reclamations. Probably the best known example is the removal of the Pizza Hut at Franklin, Tenn. A car dealership was removed at Gettysburg. Both of these projects, and there are others, required both herculean efforts and wheelbarrows full of money by the groups involved, but they prove it is possible to reclaim sacred ground.
However, if a battlefield is allowed to be "forgotten" just because it has been developed, there will be no chance for reclamation.
These are all good reasons to preserve and interpret any battlefield, much less one that has been heavily developed. By preserving what we can, and interpreting what we can't, we are hoping to help the local economy and improve the appearance of where we live.
The interpretation of a heavily developed battlefield like Falling Waters educates the current generation while at the same time honoring the endeavors of the past generation.

NEW YORK — As the Yankees continue to make a push to the postseason, attempting to leap-frog teams on the way, there has been one constant that has helped their cause: the bullpen.
"A lot," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said about how much the unit has meant to the team before yesterday's 2-0 victory.
"We rely on our bullpen a lot," he added. "We try to move the ball around. We have guys who have continued to have good years — you can start with Mo (Rivera) and work your way back. Contributions from a lot of different guys."
Which was why Girardi was more than happy to give them all a day off Saturday as starter Ivan Nova went the distance. Nova's complete-game shutout against the Baltimore Orioles allowed Girardi to not have to dip into his bullpen, giving the group a much-needed day off heading into the regular season's final 27 games.
"It's great," Girardi said after the game. "We talk about the times where the hitters are going to have to pick up the pitchers, and today the pitcher picked up the hitters and the bullpen. It's going to take a real team effort to play in October, but you get starts like this and you score runs like (Friday) and you've got a shot."
The extra day of rest should help the Yankees' bullpen continue what has been a sterling two-week stretch. Since Aug. 16, the Yankees relief corps has posted the lowest ERA in the major leagues at 1.14. During that span, the relievers have compiled a 3-0 record with four saves, keeping the team afloat in the wild-card race in the American League.
On Friday night, after CC Sabathia struggled again, the combination of Shawn Kelley, Boone Logan, David Robertson and Rivera allowed just two hits and no runs during the game's final 3⅓ innings.
"They've been very good and very important to our success," Girardi said.
• After initially being listed in the lineup, third baseman Alex Rodriguez was a last-minute scratch with what the team called, "flulike symptoms." Rodriguez reportedly has been battling a bug and didn't look good after swinging in the cages Saturday morning.
"He's got what I've got," Girardi said. "I finally turned the corner today — I feel better than I did (on Friday), but he wanted to play. And he was really sick (Friday) night and wanted to play and I tested him this morning and he said he wanted to try. He did some work in the cage and then we saw him and he just didn't look good. He looked pale, and hopefully tomorrow he's a lot better."
• One of the critical plays in keeping Nova's shutout bid intact was a nifty double play started by shortstop Derek Jeter in the eighth inning off the bat of Orioles designated hitter Wilson Betemit. Jeter slid to his right, gloved the ball and then flipped it to Robinson Cano, who finished off the play.
Not bad for a guy still easing his way back from an injury-riddled season.
"I feel fine," Jeter said. "You get more comfortable the more games you play, so I'm getting more and more comfortable."
• Girardi said before the game that he would sit down with GM Brian Cashman to discuss which players the team possibly would call up to the major leagues now that rosters can expand to 40 players starting today. He declined to mention any specific names.

PARTY ANIMALS beware: Government, business and community leaders in Manayunk said Tuesday they will have a "zero tolerance" policy in effect for the Philadelphia International Cycling Championships on Sunday.
Officials with the Manayunk Development Corporation, Philadelphia Police Department, Councilman Curtis Jones' office and the Manayunk/Roxborough Bike Race Committee said increased enforcement last year against rowdy and drunken behavior helped improve the atmosphere for residents and families and additional enforcement is planned for this year.
Officials said the neighborhoods adjacent to the "Manayunk Wall" — a steep, half-mile stretch of Leverington Street and Lyceum Avenue — had been overrun by people hell-bent on alcohol-induced rowdiness. since the inception of the annual cycling race.

Retrospective analyses of single-center patient data sets serve really only 1 purpose: to generate hypotheses for prospective studies. By convention, the hypotheses are generated from the statistically significant differences found in the retrospective analysis. In this analysis of nearly 1300 patients with gastric cancer treated in 1 university setting in Korea, the authors have taken a nonsignificant finding (that overall survival of young women is lower than that of older women, with a P value of .33) and generated a hypothesis that sex hormones such as estrogens contribute to the survival differences. While it is possible that there is a real difference in survival but it was not significant because of small sample size (type II error), there are also many other potential confounders, not the least of which are the lack of objective data concerning the hormonal status of the women and the lack of any numeric difference when the age break point was moved 10 years up. The analysis was based on overall survival, not disease-specific survival. If based on the latter, would the significant survival advantage of young men disappear (ie, are the older men dying of other causes)? The administration of adjuvant chemotherapy was not part of the analysis. Perhaps there are some biases within the institution beyond pathological stage that influence the administration of such depending on age and functional status of the patients or the patient's fertility concerns.

Alterna Ten Skin Therapy SPF 8 (6.7 oz)
We're sorry, this product is no longer available.
Alterna Ten Skin Therapy SPF 8 is the perfect fusion of ten key elements that regenerate the skin for long lasting hydration.
Austin, TX
Apr 25, 2010
I Would Recommend This!
I have always had a hard time with moisturizers since my skin is always changing, one day its oily, another day its dry, the next day its normal, and then its a combination. One day someone i knew recommended this to me, gave me a bottle of it, and told me to try it. At first i didnt want to because my face gets shiny really easily sometimes and this gave a glowing effect to my friend that i thought would make my face shiny. Finally i agreed to apply it and i have no regrets! I cant say its the best though cause after a couple of weeks of using it after i washed my face it began making my face oily so i changed to Aveeno Positively Radiat. It wasnt long before i began using this again since the Aveeno Positively Radiat was messing up my skin. now it works great again. I havent tried many moisturizers but this one is the one that has worked best with my changing skin. I would definetly recommend it!

In Europe and North America, up to 90% of floodplains have become extensively regulated, occupied, and polluted, with important consequences in the floodplain ecosystem. For this reason, exploring the processes that drive ecosystem structure and functionality is of great relevance in the development of effective management plans. In the Middle Ebro floodplain, the lateral hydrological connectivity was found to be the key factor structuring the habitats and aquatic communities, while turbidity, salinity and nutrient status were secondary drivers. The objective of floodplains restoration in the Middle Ebro floodplain should thus consist in re-establishing a wide range of wetland types in accordance with the river- floodplain potential of sustainability. The present book aims to provide a solid background for river-floodplain restoration based in the response of aquatic communities to changes in hydrological connectivity, environmental factors and human pressure across the floodplain of a Mediterranean river. Therefore, this book is addressed to a wide audience ranging from researchers, to environmental managers, the water industry and the society in general.

A thousand miles away in Madison, Wis., Kirk Daubenspeck searches his memory trying to put a name with a face.
There's an uncomfortable silence on the telephone as he tries to process the information. Finally, the former South Carolina Stingrays goaltender says, "Sorry, I don't remember you."
There's another awkward pause to muster the courage to continue and remind him when you two last spoke. But Daubenspeck can't contain himself any longer and starts to laugh. "Of course I remember you," he says with a chuckle. "Sorry, I'm just messing with you. I couldn't resist."
You both laugh and realize that even after all he has been through, he is still the same person.
The accident
It was a foggy early morning in rural Wisconsin when Daubenspeck, a medical equipment salesman, drove his car and nearly lost his life.
The fog was so thick Feb. 18 near Dodgeville that school had been cancelled. The car collided with an 18-wheeler, sliding under the semi-truck, decapitating his 2006
Acura and nearly killing him. Had Daubenspeck not ducked underneath the dashboard, there's little doubt he would not be alive today. He is sure that years of training as a hockey goalie, honing his muscles to respond to even the slightest sense of danger, probably saved his life.
"No question, that's why I'm still alive," Daubenspeck said.
He has no recollection of that morning nor the six days he spent in a coma.
"There's a month or so that's still a complete blank for me," Daubenspeck said. "I don't remember a couple of weeks before the accident and a couple of weeks afterwards. ... Each day I remember more and more, but I think it'll be a while before I remember what actually happened that morning, if ever."
Kirk's wife, Peggy, had been at a church play day with their 1-year-old son, Axel. Her cell phone rang several times, but she ignored it. Soon, she had a half-dozen voice mails.
Days earlier, the couple learned they were expecting a second child in October.
"I didn't recognized the number, so I wasn't sure who had called," Peggy said. "I didn't know if someone was calling to congratulate us or what."
What she heard nearly stopped her heart.
"The first message was from some doctor at a hospital I'd never heard of telling me Kirk had been in an accident," she said. "They wouldn't say what had happened or how Kirk was doing. We were both so happy about having another child. It went from being one of the best weeks on my life to one of the worst."
At the hospital, she was told Kirk suffered a severe head injury and had bleeding on his brain. He was heavily sedated and transferred to a hospital at the University of Wisconsin, where Kirk had been a star for the Badgers.
The early prognosis wasn't good.
"Once the sedative wore off, he didn't wake up and the doctors realized that Kirk was in a coma," Peggy said. "At first you didn't want to believe it. The doctors said 90 percent of the patients who had a similar injury never wake up."
Each day, Peggy prayed that her husband of seven years would wake up but pondered the possibility he might never regain consciousness.
"I think the not-knowing was the hardest part," she said. "Even if Kirk woke up, there was a good chance he would be in some kind of vegetative state the rest of his life. No one knew what was going to happen, and that was horrible."
As word started to get out, Stingrays president Rob Concannon was among many who visited Kirk.
"He looked like he was asleep," Concannon said. "There was a little cut over his eye, but other than that, he looked like he was sleeping."
A Facebook page was started for Kirk, and more than 2,000 joined as friends.
"I just couldn't believe how many people out there really cared about Kirk," Peggy said. "It was overwhelming."
Waking up
After six days, Kirk finally woke up.
"I was in the waiting room and my mom and sister were in with Kirk," Peggy said. "My sister came running out and said he was awake. When I got in there his eyes were open, but he couldn't talk. This wasn't like in the movies where he makes this instantaneous recovery and everything is fine. He couldn't follow commands or tell you what was wrong, but it did give you hope."
His doctors considered transferring him to a facility specializing in therapy for traumatic brain injuries.
"He had to follow two commands in a row, and Kirk couldn't do it," Peggy said. "The day they were going to transfer him to Milwaukee, the doctors were talking about it and I think Kirk heard them. The doctors asked him to give a thumbs up and he did it. Then they asked him to point his finger and touch his nose, and he did that. You could tell he was just determined to show them he was getting better."
Five weeks after the accident, he was released from the hospital. Since then, Kirk has had to relearn nearly everything from walking to talking.
"It's been a frustrating process at times," he said. "My mind is saying one thing and my body is saying another. There are times when I'm talking I know what word I want to use, but my mind is working so quickly, I can't get it out. Things are getting easier each day."
Daubenspeck hopes to return to work in the near future. His ultimate goal is to get back on the ice and play hockey. Not as a goalie, but as a skater.
"Just the thought of Kirk getting back on the ice is terrifying for me," Peggy said. "But he loves the game so much. ... If anyone can do it, Kirk will."
The fundraisers
The medical bills from the accident have been staggering.
"You can never plan for anything like this," Kirk said.
So friends, former teammates and fans have worked tirelessly to raise money. Fellow Stingrays Hall of Famer Dave Seitz has held a couple of fundraisers.
"Kirk is such a great guy, and I know if the situation was reversed, he would do the same thing for me," said Seitz, who along with Kirk led the Stingrays to a Kelly Cup title in 2001.
On Saturday, more than two dozen current and former Stingrays will play in a fundraising alumni game at the Carolina Ice Palace, with a jersey auction to follow.
The idea came from Bill Reid, whose son, former Stingray Matt Reid, was Daubenspeck's teammate.
"(The players) just wanted to know when and where and they would make it," Bill Reid said. "A lot of these guys didn't even play with Kirk, but have gotten to know him over the years. I just think it shows you what kind of guy Kirk is and how tight-knit the hockey community is."
Kirk has flown down from Wisconsin for the event.
"Charleston and the Stingrays will always have a special place in my heart," Kirk said. "It'll be great to see so many friends and fans again. I'm sure it'll get to me, but it's a great feeling to know there are so many people out there who really care about me and my family."

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Thumbs up
– This was MSU's best overall performance of the season. Heck, in years.
The No. 21 Bulldogs (9-4) racked up 485 total yards – 281 passing, 204 rushing – held Michigan QB Denard Robinson in check (career-low 59 rushing yards) and won the special teams battle.
Regarding the latter, MSU had a blocked punt and made a 42-yard field goal, while Michigan missed its lone field goal try.
State scored 21 points in the second quarter, which is when the game turned. The secondary, burned a few times early, adjusted and played what defensive coordinator Manny Diaz called "the three best quarters that they've played all season."
Thumbs down
– You have to look hard to find anything wrong with MSU's performance.
So … well, Michigan came out and scored right away, driving 78 yards in 10 plays for a 7-0 lead. Robinson had some early success both running and passing.
But MSU beat Michigan in every single major statistical category – except interceptions. Each team had one – MSU's was on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half; Michigan's set up a State touchdown.
Keys to victory review
– Evaluating the keys to victory in Saturday's GameDay section:
1. Reel in Robinson. The Michigan QB, Denard Robinson, has shredded many a defense this season, but MSU soon figured out what was coming and kept him from breaking any long runs after the opening possession. He had 254 yards through the air, but the Wolverines couldn't finish drives.
2. Pound the ball. This has been key all season, and MSU stayed between the tackles with occasional forays to the edge in the option game. Both routes were highly effective, with Vick Ballard gaining 76 yards and four other Bulldogs rushing for 30 or more yards.
3. No big plays. Robinson had runs of 22 and 24 yards on the game's opening drive, and Michigan had three plays of 30-plus yards in the first quarter. After that, it had just one.
– Quarterback Chris Relf: The junior had 281 yards on 18 of 23 passing with three touchdowns. He was consistently on target and showed good judgment, whether it was checking down to his tailback or simply throwing the ball out of bounds when nothing was there.
Bottom line
– MSU's revival is all going according to Dan Mullen's plan. The second-year head coach has taken MSU from four wins to five in 2009 to nine this year, and as he said about what defines future success, "Next year it'll be more than nine wins for us, and that's something we're going to start working on tomorrow."

At least one study recorded that people consuming a low carb, high fat diet did lose a lot of energy via body heat (accompanied by profuse sweating - particularly during the night). It was proposed that this was due to 'futile cycling' where the body converts excess fuel substrates from one form to another with no net gain in energy and often a loss.
If the meal was high in protein but low in fat and carbs, then it may be due to increased TEF. (Thermic Effect of Food)

Disturbed by persistent reports that auditors are stonewalling auditing committees about regulatory inspection findings, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is offering audit committees some advice on how to get more information out of their auditors.
The PCAOB published a 26-page primer on its inspection process targeted at audit committees to help them understand what they can learn about their own audit firm as a result of the board's inspection process. The release explains how the inspection process works, what inspection reports mean, and how audit committees can get more information out of their auditors about inspection findings and their implications. The release is meant to help audit committees learn more about the nonpublic aspects of inspections, where the PCAOB is prohibited by law from discussing inspection findings either in their reports or with issuers directly.
PCAOB Chairman James Doty told members of the media that the board is aware that auditors often dismiss the significance of inspection findings, explaining them as documentation problems, differences of professional judgments, or matters that the firms have already addressed and remediated. "The PCAOB would disagree with those characterizations as report findings are serious matters," he said. The board says in its release that law does not prohibit inspected firms from disclosing nonpublic inspection information, and it cautions audit committees to be skeptical if its auditor asserts otherwise. The board says auditors often are reluctant to disclose nonpublic portions of their inspection findings for fear it might waive legal privilege that could become important in any future litigation.
To arm audit committees with the right questions to draw out more information from their auditors, the PCAOB tells audit committee members they should ask their auditors some specific questions, including whether the firm has learned through inspections that something in the company's own financial statements is not sufficiently supported or that something else has come to light that would reflect negatively on the firm's performance. The board tells audit committees to ask if inspectors raised questions about the fairness of financial statements, the adequacy of disclosures, or the auditor's independence.
Audit committees also should ask their auditors if their own audit is described anywhere in the public portion of the report, and whether issues similar to the company's own audit arose in other inspection findings. If there are similar themes from other audit findings, audit committees should ask how issues have been resolved and how the firm can assure the same issues aren't a concern with respect to its own audit. Even further, audit committees should press auditors to explain how concerns raised in other inspection findings are being addressed.
"Whether an audit committee's own company audit is being reviewed as part of an inspection, or whether it's another company within the same industry, PCAOB inspection reports provide insight into areas of risk and audit quality that are of concern to all audit committees," said Doty. "The inspection reports we issue are a resource tool, the only place where they can find independent evaluations of their auditors."

Reba Bettwy's been in the party supply business since 2008, supplying helium-filled balloons for her customers.
She's afraid that may come to an end.
"I've had sales representatives tell me there is a possibility we may not have any helium balloons in my lifetime," said Bettwy, 53, store manager at Everyday's A Party, 415 Orchard Ave.
The reason: A worldwide shortage of helium, the lighter-than-air inert gas used to fill the balloons.
Most of the country's helium comes from the Federal Helium Reserve near Amarillo, Texas. In 1996, the federal government decided to get out of the helium business, said Rob Newkirk, store manager at GTS-Welco Inc., Altoona, a gas distributor.
"There was an explosion of demand with the plants going offline; the demand has exploded over the last four to five years," Newkirk said.
"Helium is used for balloons, cooling MRI machines and for welding and manufacturing microchips. With technology, the need for helium has increased phenomenally. That has put the U.S. behind the 8-ball."
Newkirk said he is still able to get helium but it can take three weeks longer to get a shipment.
"It has got to a point where I have to allocate all of my helium to cover my customers; I can't take on new clients. We are barely serving the customers we have," Newkirk said. "We get at least three calls a week from people looking for helium. We are getting flooded with calls."
Bettwy said she has had to increase her prices as a result of the shortage.
"Since I first started in this business in 2008, the price of a tank of helium has increased three times," Bettwy said. "We have had to pass on the price increase to our customers. When I started, a single balloon would cost 89 cents; it now ranges from 99 cents to $1.29. Before you could get a dozen for $7.99, now it is about $12.99."
Crystal McGonigal, branch manager of Best Event Rental, 311 E. Pleasant Valley Blvd., said she is concerned she may not be able to continue getting helium.
"Come October, I may not be able to get it," McGonigal said. "I got helium last week. You can only get what you got in previous months. You can't increase your order."
So far, the shortage has not hurt her business.
"The majority of our business is not based on balloons, it is more geared to plastics and rentals," McGonigal said. "The number of helium balloons we sell is hit or miss. We had one order in July for 400 balloons."
Helium is also used at medical facilities for vartious reasons.
The primary uses at Altoona Regional Health System are for the linear accelerator for radiation oncology treatments and for cooling MRI machines, said Gary Zuckerman, vice president of supply chain.
"We haven't really been impacted yet but our suppliers have had difficulty meeting our needs. We are the first priority; the balloon and flower people are the ones with the bigger problems," Zuckerman said. "The price has gone up and will continue to go up. I think we may see shortages for the next couple of years."
611 MRI-CT, 2950 Fairway Drive, hasn't had any problems yet in getting helium.
"It is not having any impact on us. We don't wait until the last minute to order our helium. When we notice it is getting low, we order well in advance," said Krista Mackovyak, MRI technician. "We monitor it daily. If you run out today, you will not get it tomorrow."
Newkirk said there is hope on the horizon as the supply is expected to increase by the end of the year with new plants coming on line in Wyoming, Russia and Qatar.

If nothing else, the still-unexplained move by police to conduct a high-profile search of Nevada mine shafts got Joshua Powell talking again.
The husband of Susan Powell says he worried Utah police scoured Ely, Nev., mine shafts over the weekend to frame him in the 2009 disappearance of his wife Susan Powell, the Salt Lake City Tribune reports.
"It occurred to me they were planting something in Ely so they could magically show it to the media," said Josh.
Identified as a person of interest in the case, Josh has stopped talking to authorities but says he may be willing to meet with the FBI – for a price.
"Yeah, if they pay my attorney's fees, and he advises me properly, why wouldn't I?" he said.
In an unusual move, police in West Valley City, Utah, invited the news media to the search of a mining district outside Ely, located about 230 miles southwest of the missing woman's hometown.
Although detectives recovered no physical evidence, Sgt. Mike Powell (no relation) said, "Obviously we were able to successfully accomplish our goals."
What those goals were remained unknown. He declined to say how the investigation was helped. He also wouldn't comment on were they searching for or what the "important" and "credible" new information was that prompted the trip to the desert.
"Are there any new leads that were generated from this?" he said, according to the Deseret News. "At this point, I don't have an answer for that."

JERUSALEM, Israel - Israel rejected allegations of "crimes against humanity" in the United Nations "Gaza Fact-Finding Mission Report," released on Thursday, September 15.
"[The report] exceeded the limits of Israel-bashing that we've become accustomed to," Israeli Minister of Information Yuli Edelstein said.
"Making such allegations, disguised as 'protecting human rights,' is more than a stretch," he said.
Michael Freund is chairman of the Shavei Israel Organization and has written an editorial critical of the Goldstone Report for Thursday's Jerusalem Post. He joined CBN News from Israel via Skype to discuss the practical implications of this report and it's legal effect. Click here to watch.
The Goldstone Report, named after former South African judge Richard Goldstone who led the investigation, accuses Israel of "actions amounting to war crimes against humanity" in its three-week military operation in the Gaza Strip, last December and January.
"Israel is appalled and disappointed by the report published on 15 September 2009 by the Gaza Fact-Finding Mission," Israel's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"The report effectively ignores Israel's right to self defense, makes unsubstantiated claims about its intent, and challenges Israel's democratic values and rule of law," the statement read.
The press release quoted Mary Robinson, former high commissioner for Human Rights, who turned down an offer to head the U.N. investigation because it was "not guided by human rights but by politics."
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, in Washington this week, said the government's decision not to interact with the group was based on its predisposition against Israel.
"[The report] is a cynical attempt a role reversal in blaming Israel for war crimes instead of terrorist organizations," Ayalon told Israel Radio.
Ayalon said Israel hoped to enlist support from other Western democracies "to prevent turning international law into a circus."
Both the United States and the European Union opposed the U.N. fact finding mission, Ayalon said.
The Foreign Ministry's statement also noted that the U.N. investigators were "continuously accompanied by Hamas officials" during their visits to Gaza.
Gaza-based Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh said his government simply helped the committee investigate "crimes perpetrated by the occupation [Israel] in the war."
But Hamas was not happy with the report's "political imbalance."
"The report puts those who committed the crimes and those who fought against them on the same level," one senior Hamas official commented.
Meanwhile, an unnamed Israeli defense official called the comparison between those who foment terror and terror victims "unconscionable."
"[The report] not only rewards terror, it also encourages it," one official said on Israeli Radio Wednesday morning.
"The defense establishment is gearing up to give legal counsel to IDF [Israel Defense Forces] officers and the proper legal and diplomatic steps are already underway to render this report invalid," he said.

MADRID, Spain (AP) - Parliament overwhelmingly approved a legal ban against a Basque political party Monday after a judge ordered its offices closed, accusing it of complicity in the "crimes against humanity" of the outlawed separatist group ETA.
Parliament's lower house voted 295-10 asking the government to initiate proceedings for the Supreme Court to declare the radical Basque party Batasuna illegal.
The move tightened the noose around the party following passage of a law in June allowing the court to outlaw parties deemed to be actively or tacitly supporting terrorism.
The parliamentary motion was passed during a special session convened during summer recess, with Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and his entire Popular Party government present.
"Batasuna is a mask of ETA ... that justifies ETA's crimes," Luis de Grandes, member of the ruling Popular Party, told the session.

Despite a 49-42 record, the New York Yankees sit in fourth place in an extremely competitive AL East.
This season has been marred by injuries. With a strong pitching staff—largely the reason the Yankees are above .500—we've seen very limited offense from the Bronx Bombers.
A year removed from setting a franchise record with 245 regular season home runs, the Yankees have mustered just 87 long balls through the first 91 games.
First in the majors with a +129 run differential in 2012, New York has a +1 run differential on the season and that number is -21 playing at Yankee Stadium.
Without Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson and Kevin Youkilis, the names in this Yankee lineup are not at the talent level Yankee fans have become accustomed to.
Many have transformed from role/utility players to everyday players—i.e. Lyle Overbay, Jayson Nix and David Adams—and understandably, some are suffering through long slumps as they adjust to new roles.
The All-Star break provides some much-needed rest for every player, but will prove to be beneficial for these Yankees in the second half of the season.

WAILUKU - A judge kept bail at $15,000 for a man charged with assaulting his then-girlfriend, who reported being pinned to the ground, punched and bitten during a confrontation outside a Kula residence.
A Dec. 10 trial is scheduled in 2nd Circuit Court for Kristofer Rosete, 25. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree burglary and second-degree assault.
During a bail hearing Tuesday, Rosete asked to be released on supervision, with Deputy Public Defender Annalisa Bernard saying he has a job, no criminal convictions and close ties to his family.
Deputy Prosecutor Jeffery Temas opposed the request, saying the charges involved a home invasion related to a domestic violence case. "At this point, protection of the community is the highest priority," Temas said.
The woman reported being assaulted the night of Aug. 24 after she went to look for Rosete because she was worried that he was suicidal, according to a temporary restraining order she filed in court. He sent her a text message accusing her of leaving to meet someone else.
When she retuned home, Rosete ran out the door. He had ripped the screen off a front window, the woman discovered, and her 13-year-old daughter said Rosete had been sitting at a kitchen table with a chef's knife next to him.
Rosete's sister showed up a few minutes later, asking where Rosete was and arguing with his girlfriend before both left in separate vehicles. The girlfriend was going down the driveway when she reported seeing Rosete, who pulled up on one side of her vehicle while his sister pulled up on the other side.
All three got out of their vehicles and Rosete and his sister began yelling at the girlfriend, according to her restraining order application. After yelling at Rosete's sister to "get out of my face," the girlfriend said she was thrown onto the ground by Rosete. She said she was pinned to the ground when Rosete's sister began punching her in the head and face, with both Rosete and his sister "on top of me beating me."
Rosete's sister punched her in the nose, causing a gash, the woman said, before Rosete head-butted her near her left eyebrow.
"I remember getting into my car and blood was pouring down my face, and I began honking my horn trying to get someone's attention to help me," she wrote. "Kristofer and his sister left me there and didn't even try to help me."
She was driven to the emergency room, where she received three stitches on her nose and eight stitches for a gash near here eyebrow. She also suffered two black eyes and bruises on her left arm where Rosete had bitten her, she reported.
Second Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza said he had to consider dangerousness in deciding to keep Rosete's bail at $15,000. The judge said he would consider future requests to increase or decrease the bail amount.
According to police records, Rosete's sister, Jennai Rosete, 22, of Haliimaile was arrested and released after posting $5,000 bail on a second-degree assault charge.

For people with stable jobs, taking time to keep learning can be difficult. Yet the professional, medical, and personal benefits of learning a new skill or pursuing your passion are well worth an hour or two a week. Whether it's taking a class or even reading a new book, lifelong learning has measurable impacts from the moment you start. Taking the time to continue learning can improve your mental acuity, put you in control of your career path, and boost your self-esteem.
In today's economy, rapid adaptation has become the name of the game. Employers in almost every industry are revamping job descriptions, and workers need to be adaptable, lifelong learners to keep up with their rapidly evolving workplace. These shifting times require that employees master emergent skills and understand disciplines outside their comfort zones. Rising to those challenges while staying current with new technology will help you stay in the know at work and keep your career on the right track. Employees need to be both forward thinking and accepting of the evolving challenges in their fields to protect or advance their careers.
Learning new things can also help keep your mind sharp and promote a feeling of well-being. The Rush Memory and Aging Project showed that increased cognitive activity in the elderly slowed their decline in cognitive function and decreased their risk of mild cognitive impariment. The study showed that cognitively active seniors were 2.6 times less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and dementia than seniors with less cognitive activity. Other studies show that individuals who are more educated tend to enjoy better mental health overall. Pursuing lifelong learning not only can help you stay mentally sharp but is also critical to your emotional health as you get older.
Lifelong learning can improve your self-esteem and help you live a fuller and more well-rounded life. By continuing to learn after your school days are over, you can develop greater understanding and more breadth of knowledge in the fields that interest you. You can master old hobbies, renew old passions, hone your skills, and improve the richness of your life. By broadening your horizons through lifelong learning, you add to your expertise in a ways that bear fruit in every aspect of your life, no matter your age. And think of the hit you'll be at a party!

Blue, a 6-4, 200-pound guard, plans to sign with an agent.
"I've had three great years here and appreciate everything Marquette has done for me during that time to help me develop," Blue said. "At this point I want to pursue my dream. I've prayed about it and discussed it with my family and think this is the right decision for me at this time.
"I really want to thank all of the coaches and staff at Marquette for helping me become a better player and a man," Blue added. "I also loved and appreciate the support shown by Marquette fans across the country during my career, especially during home games at the Bradley Center."
The Madison, Wis., native enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2012-13, earning All-BIG EAST Second Team accolades in the process. He concluded the year ranked 14th in the BIG EAST Conference in scoring (14.8 ppg.) and also topped the roster in that category. He shot 45.4 percent from the floor overall and 75.6 percent from the charity stripe.
"As a program, we are all very thankful for everything Vander has done to help our team over the last three years, but more importantly I admire the growth he has made off the floor as a person," head coach Buzz Williams said. "He has had success in each role that he has played every year he has been here, and has continued to improve. We will always be grateful for his contributions and wish him nothing but the best in his professional career."
Blue concludes his three-year career at Marquette with 80 starting assignments in 106 appearances. He owns career averages of 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per outing. He finishes with 982 points, narrowly missing becoming the 45th player in school history with 1,000 career points.

Thousands of Christians began gathering in Washington, D.C., at sunrise, Saturday, to lift up a collective "may day" call of distress for the nation's soul.
Well-known evangelicals from Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to prayer warrior Dutch Sheets are attending "May Day 2010."
The prayer event began at 6:10 a.m. at the Lincoln Memorial and will end at 2 p.m. Churches across the U.S. have also opened their doors for prayer meetings during that time.
Watch the live "May Day" webcast from the Lincoln Memorial here.
"This event is not to impress the media or those in Washington, but to reach the heart of God," a statement on the event Web site read. "Publicly repenting and crying out to God for His mercy instead of the judgment our many sins deserve."
May Day attendees are praying for a spiritual revival in the U.S.-- a country they say is on the brink of falling apart.
"Our nation faces what is perhaps the most serious moral crisis since the Civil War, as we've turned our backs on God and have clearly displeased Him," Dobson wrote in the May Day committee flyer.
"May Day 2010 is a time to come together, and proclaim what God has done in the past, to pray for forgiveness, and to plead for God's mercy on all of us," he continued.
Mathew Staver, founder and chairman of the Liberty Counsel, is among the weekend gathering of Christian leaders. Click play for his comments to CBN News on the purpose of May Day 2010.
