PALMER - Converse Middle School seventh-grader Angelina Roulston told the crowd gathered for the school's pre-Memorial Day ceremony on Friday that the holiday is more than just a day off from school, and thanked the soldiers for fighting for what they believed in, to preserve the country's freedoms.
"The sacrifices these soldiers have made, make our country stronger. They risk their lives for us and that's not something many people will do," she said.
"Memorial Day is important to me and I take it seriously because my grandfather was a World War II veteran. He once risked his life for us, too . . . I look up to him as a hero and one of my country's heroes," Roulston said.
Seventh-graders Kaitlin Young and Kaitlynn McHugh also read their essays about Memorial Day.
Said Young, "When we go to the Memorial Day parade it shouldn't be just to get cotton candy, it should be because we are proud to be Americans. We should remind each other to take a special moment and think about how the soldiers, their families and their friends must have felt."
Said McHugh, "Freedom is the foundation of the country. It's the boulder in the rushing river. It doesn't move. But it can and it will if those who believe, those who fight for our country, stop."
The master of the ceremony was seventh-grader Alex Reed, and the guest speaker was First Sgt. Michael Domnarski, an Iraq War veteran and state police lieutenant. Domnarski is the father of fifth-grader Mitchell Domnarski.
Domnarski served in Iraq for a year with the 747th military police, and told the students that freedom is not free, and that they can hate the war, but should respect the soldiers.
Middle School Principal David G. Stetkiewicz delivered the pledge of allegiance. There also were performances by the band, which played the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and chorus, which sang, "You Raise Me Up." Seventh-grader Haley Leland played "Taps."
Numerous town officials attended the ceremony, including Acting Town Manager Patricia A. Kennedy, Town Councilors Barbara A. Barry and Paul E. Burns, Superintendent Gerald A. Fournier and School Committee member David M. Lynch.
Reading specialist Ivy Peritz-Smith said the annual ceremony is a tradition at the middle school.
"I think it's important to teach kids at this age about respect. It's part of the middle school experience, and important to show respect to those who served and gave," Peritz-Smith said.

Responsibilities of a Nonprofit Board (The)
As an entity of the state, nonprofit organizations are guided by laws created by both federal and state governments. The responsibility for overseeing the operation of the organization and assuring the organization's conformance with the law is that of the nonprofit's board of trustees. Unlike a board of directors of a private industry, a board of trustees of a nonprofit organization is exactly that - a board of those entrusted with the care of the organization and is accountable to the public, not the private interests of shareholders (Bryce 2000).
The activities in which nonprofit organizations engage are diverse. The environment in which they operate is demanding, calling for an assertive body of governance to secure that the nonprofit's mission is fulfilled and the organization is held accountable to its main shareholders - the American people:
The trustees...of a nonprofit organization represent the interests of the public, not the private interests of stockholders. Their principal function is to set policies consistent with the public mission of the organization, select managers who can carry out the mission, and monitor the performance of the organization so that public welfare is maximized in a manner consistent with the specific mission of the organization. Their duty, therefore, is to maximize public, not private, welfare. (Ibid., 126)
Public welfare is maximized when the nonprofit's board maintains accountability to the American public. The "Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards" list the routine governance activities of a board within an organization. They are as follows (Boardsource 2002):
- Determine the organization's mission and purpose
- Select the executive staff through an appropriate process
- Provide ongoing support and guidance for the executive; review his or her performance
- Ensure effective organizational planning
- Ensure adequate resources
- Manage resources effectively
- Determine and monitor the organization's programs and service
- Enhance the organization's public image
- Serve as a court of appeal
- Assess its own performance
Historic Roots
In the early days before the United States' government had created such institutions as public education, organized health care, fire departments, and other social services, it was up to the people of the community to take on social problems such as public health and poverty (Salamon 1999, 11). These were the early forms of nonprofit organizations (or nonprofit associations).
The U.S. has evolved into a very complex society. Its diverse social, economic, and political needs are managed by a structure that is divided into three sectors: the public sector, the private sector, and the nonprofit sector. It is the role of the nonprofit sector that makes the United States an interesting case study. Since the settlement of the first communities in America, nonprofit associations, although not as formally structured as they are today, played integral roles in the development of our communities.
It was American individualism and a desire for a decentralized government that have created an environment allowing nonprofit associations to flourish (Salamon 1999). Nonprofit associations have assisted in the development and growth of our social welfare system, public education system, arts institutions, and cultural programming. Nonprofit organizations also exist to protect consumers' rights and have assembled to educate the public and our elected officials about important social, economic, and political issues that affect our everyday lives.
The board of trustees of a nonprofit organization ensures that its organization upholds the interests of the public. This is the foundation on which the nonprofit sector is built. When the sector is held accountable to the American people, pluralism will continue to flourish, as so eloquently put by John W. Gardner:
"Americans have always believed in pluralism - the idea that a free nation should be hospitable to the many sources of initiative, many kinds of institutions, conflicting beliefs, and many competing economic units. Our pluralism allows individuals and groups to pursue goals that they themselves formulate, and out of that pluralism has come virtually all of our creativity." (in O'Connell 1993, 14)
In addition, learning more about the sector and the roles of its boards, would further citizens' civic roles and their expectations of nonprofit organizations. Understanding the role of the nonprofit in conjunction with the private and public sector in American society is important as no sector operates in isolation, and each influences each other's actions a great deal. Likewise, knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of a nonprofit board of trustees assists in the understanding of the nature of nonprofits, their function, how they operate, and why they exist.
Ties to the Philanthropic Sector
Nonprofit organizations are reliant on many sources of revenue, from grants to governmental support to fees for services that the organization provides. It is the role of the nonprofit board to create the goals of its fund development strategy; a creative board must be able to orchestrate different fundraising approaches to ultimately provide the organization with sustainable and stable funding resources. To combat the struggle of declining governmental resources, the executive and its board must also be proficient in the political marketplace to ensure their voice is heard at the various levels of government, in order to influence budget appropriations in their favor. A political know-how is an important trait for the nonprofit board member, and excellent lobbying skills and tactics are helpful.
In addition to being politically savvy, the trustees of nonprofit organizations are expected to maintain and strengthen the various relationships within the community and beyond. These ties help them to secure funds and become aware of changing conditions that would affect these relationships. A networking strategy allows for resources to be continually leveraged within the community -- resources varying from foundation support to individual charitable gifts. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the board to create a fund development strategic plan that is both diversified and progressive to successfully uphold the tenets of the mission and vision of the organization.
Key Related Ideas
To understand the roles and responsibilities of a nonprofit board of trustees is to understand the primary ideas behind nonprofit governance. Governance is the authority a board has to set policies that guide the organization's work and operations. To better understand nonprofit governance, a number of important issues relate to the activities of nonprofits. These include:
- Ethics in the nonprofit sector
- Fundraising
- Nonprofit management
- Organizational accountability
- Philanthropy
- Strategic planning
- Volunteerism
Important People Related to the Topic
John Carver: With his extensive experience working with boards of the nonprofit sector, John Carver has developed a number of resources addressing nonprofit governance. They are designed to assist board members and executives with various problems and issues commonly experienced. Carver is most known for his theory, policy governance model in nonprofit organizations. The theory is designed to enable boards to be accountable to shareholders by using an integrated system of governance.
Mark Light: Like John Carver, Light has had extensive experience within the nonprofit community. He believes that the "strategic board is neither an operational board mired in the minutia of day-to-day detail or a rubber stamp board controlled by the executive director, the board chair, or committees" (Light 2001, vii). Light also asserts that the strategic board "focuses its energy on making sure that the organization achieves its chosen destiny" (Ibid.). This perspective is the basis on which his strategic board model of governance theory is formed.

42nd Street Photo Beach Photography TipsPosted on April 28th, 2012
With the summer months approaching quickly, many families will be retreating to the beach for a nice relaxing vacation. Along with beach patrons, photographers find this to be a time for excellent shots of tranquility and uniqueness. Just like any other photograph, there are some helpful hints to capturing a memorable shot.
First, if you are interested on focusing on macro and creative abstract shots then the beach is an excellent place to do so. Some examples of macro shots would be footprints in the sand, shells on the beach or perhaps blades of dune grass. The best step is to create a shallow depth of field using a telephoto lens and a wide aperture. The best technique is to zoom in close to your subject and focus to the best ability. For even better results, lay flat on the sand at eye level of your subject, sand, and ocean.
Second, capturing the memorable moments through the eyes of children is one exciting task. Although, capturing children can be exciting it can also be a handful as their attention span is very limited. The best things to do is set your camera to a faster shutter speed and give the children something exciting to focus on, like a sand castle or sea shells. Make sure to frame and focus accordingly, but zoom out a bit so you get the perfect backdrop as well as the child. One unique shot is to capture silhouettes with the assistance of the sun. The perfect time to capture this moment is when the sun is setting for the night. First, it is a good idea to place the individual in a place with an interesting reflection, perhaps the shoreline. Make sure that the subject is between you and the sun set. It is a good idea at this time to manually focus on the subject, expose the brightest part of the scene, and de-active the on body flash.
Third, Always be aware of your surroundings such as weather and the beach. You must protect your camera at all costs; there is nothing worse than getting sand in your camera. The best thing to do is be aware of what direction the wind is blowing and if you can avoid going to the beach on a windy day. One you are finished with your camera, immediately place it back in the case to avoid sand and sun exposure. Always keep the lens cap on when you are not using the camera and once you return back to your room, clean the camera as best as you can. If you do happen to have some sand in your camera, take it to a professional photographer cleaner to have it properly cleaned. Do not allow the sand to remain in your camera as this can cause damage.
Fourth, some area beaches do have specific requirements for professional photography. The best way to avoid any fines or legal problems is to check with the local city beach ordinance department. Explain to them your job assignment and seek the proper permits. This can avoid any complications.
Along with the individuals you are photographing, you as well should have fun. Be creative and experimental. Take as many pictures as you can and enjoy the experience.
Automobile Photography TipsPosted on April 18th, 2012
Car photography is not a difficult skill and even the most novices of photographers can capture a wonderful photo. A few helpful tips that can be used can help with improving the task of photographing an automobile.
First, it is best to pick the right automobile to photograph. It can be simple but using your own car but if you have the opportunity to use a special or unique car, and then do so. The more practice a photographer can get is best for any type of photo.
Second, use the best lighting you can. Most car photographers recommend using a natural light and to experiment with the surroundings as well as the automobile. Some of the best times of the day with wonderful natural lighting is during the "orange" time, that would be sunrise or sunset.
Third, along with the proper light setting it can also be fun to experiment with different and unique locations. A simple location of a garage can capture a great shot, but traveling to different locations can give the photo that extra edge. Some suggestions would be an abandoned warehouse or perhaps an old junkyard. Don't be afraid to experiment and use your imagination.
Last be sure you use a tripod, this will help avoid camera shake and help you steady your camera. It is not very hard to perfect the skill of car photography and in fact it can be fun. The good thing is that you can take your time and experiment with different settings and locations. The bad thing is that if you choose to take a photo at sunrise/sunset you are limited with time. Practicing can go a long way.
Tips For Keeping Your Camera Equipment CleanPosted on April 11th, 2012
Keeping your equipment clean and working properly is an essential part of photography. Your equipment is a fundamental part to any photographer and must be maintained on a regular basis. Without proper maintenance your equipment can exhibits such problems as focusing difficulties, interference with the photograph, as well as complete breakdown. The simplest dust particles can interfere with your portrait and it as well can be costly to the photographer. Following a few basic fundamental maintenance tips can ensure that your equipment lasts and functions properly.
First, you must take care of the bag or storage unit of your camera. Keeping your camera in a neutral temperature zone as well as in a dust free area can help with the attraction of such debris. Cleaning out your bag regularly from dirt, dust, and any additional trash is a task that should be performed regularly.
Second, when changing out lens, it is best to hold the camera face down to allow any unwanted particles from exiting the camera. Changing the lens on a regular basis can help minimalize any debris coming into contact with the camera.
Third, when changing your lens, be aware of the wind direction at your location. Neal down low to the ground and against the wind will prevent any damage. Always keep your lens cap on your camera when not in use as well as when changing out your lens. The lens is the most important part of the camera to avoid and debris damage.
Fourth, purchase a great bulb to keep the sensor area clean. Contacting your local photography supply store as well as researching your camera brand accessories can guide you into the right bulb purchase.
Following simple maintenance care can ensure your camera lasting for a awhile and preventing any unnecessary debris from entering the camera. The main focus should definitely be that of your camera lens and proper care is essential.
How to Store Photographs to Maintain QualityPosted on April 1st, 2012
Most photographs that people own are important to them one way or another. If photos are not stored correctly the aging of the photograph is bound to occur. When this happens the photo can be damaged and you could easily lose that memory that means so much to you. We are going to cover some tips that will help protect your photograph collection.
1. Keep Your Photos Out of Direct Sunlight
The UV rays from the sun can fade the color in the photo. Try to keep your photos away from windows or doors. If you cannot accomplish this then the best way to lessen the damage is to keep your photos behind a layer of glass that has a layer of UV. This will only lessen the damage over time though.
2. Store Photos at Room Temperature
Try to avoid storing photos in a place where the temperature goes from one extreme to another or changes too much. This can damage the photos over time.
3. Do Not Store Photos in High Humidity
Moisture can damage photos in the form of mold. Try not to place photos in an area with high levels of moisture. One way to avoid this is to layer the back of the photo with a newspaper before covering it with the frame.
4. Be Careful With Glass Cleaner
Spray-on glass cleaners can cause damage if the cleaner is able to get into the gaps of the frame and makes contact with the photo. The best thing to do is apply the glass cleaner to a cloth first and then wiping down the frame.
5. Use Photo Albums
You can store your photos in photo albums and this will keep the quality intact and the photos will not come in contact with bare hands.
These are just a few tips you can use when you want to maintain the quality of your photographs. We hope this helps.

A proposal to legalize marijuana for medical purposes does not have the support of Governor Jennifer Granholm.
Granholm says she is not in favor of opening the door to legalization of marijuana.
A citizen-led measure that would legalize marijuana for some medical purposes is pending in the state Legislature. If lawmakers don't approve the measure within 40 days, the proposal will be placed on the November ballot.
The Michigan initiative would allow patients to grow and use small amounts of marijuana for relief from pain associated with cancer, AIDS and other diseases.

This is the eighth in a series of LSU position analyses.
Up to bat today are the defensive tackles, where a full-time
starter and a veteran have departed, but Anthony Johnson and Ego Ferguson step
in to potentially form one of the best interior tandems the Tigers have had
since 2003.
Projected starters: Anthony Johnson (6-3, 294, Jr.), Ego Ferguson (6-3, 309, Jr.)
Key backups: Quentin Thomas (6-3, 290, So.); Mickey Johnson (6-1, 307, So.); Christian LaCouture (6-5, 298, Fr.)
Freshman/newcomer who could emerge: Greg Gilmore (6-4, 311, Fr.), Maquedius Bain (6-4, 308, Fr.), LaCouture
Much like the ends on this side of the ball, there were two jobs left open with the departure of Bennie Logan and Josh Downs. Also similar to the outside spots, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that LSU could wind up stronger inside with the combination of Johnson and Ferguson.
"I don't think we could have two better guys to build this defense around," Tigers defensive coordinator John Chavis said last spring. "We won't miss a beat there."
Indeed, those two are vital building blocks for the line, and perhaps for the entire defense. And a key to their success might be that both have an "It's-about-time" attitude heading into their junior seasons.
Johnson, the former O. Perry Walker star, notched 10 tackles for loss a year ago despite operating behind Logan and Downs most of the season - although he did nab three starts as a sophomore.
Ferguson played even less and wound up with only one tackle for loss.
Waiting and watching wasn't easy for either player, both of whom showed up at LSU with top-shelf credentials. Now, there's a common factor between them to make sure any thought of a letdown is quickly erased.
"That motivates me a lot," Ferguson said about the rumblings that the LSU defensive line will take a step back this fall. "I wake up every day thinking about the criticism we've gotten about not playing as much the last few years, and I take it to the field with me. I play with a chip on my shoulder because I think a lot of people are doubting us, and we feel like this defense can be even better this year."
That may have a lot to do with how Johnson and Ferguson perform, but not them alone.
Sophomore Quentin Thomas and Mickey Johnson step into the roles Anthony Johnson and Ferguson filled the last two seasons -- experienced veterans who are eager for a chance to play.
Neither made a huge splash last season, and that makes the freshman trio of Gilmore, Bain and particularly LaCouture very intriguing.
All three are poised as stars of the future, and could be ready to step in as early as next season should Anthony Johnson and Ferguson opt to leave for the NFL Draft. LaCouture is a step ahead of his two freshmen cohorts because he was an early enrollee and the 15 practices and extra time on campus allowed him to make huge strides.
Mixed with his athleticism -- he is one of a handful of rookies who could play both inside or out -- the early arrival has given LaCouture a chance to move into the interior rotation very quickly.
"Getting here last spring, I was able to learn the process and pick up the speed of the game," LaCouture said. "It helped me learn the ropes. I've still got to keep working on my technique, but the competition at a place like this keeps you motivated to work hard every day."
With Anthony Johnson and Ferguson as the anchors, the defensive interior could be much tougher on opposing offensive lines, which could, in turn, create opportunities for the ends. That's exactly what Ferguson wants to be a part of.
"I think we'll be able to get more pressure for the inside and that should give our ends chances to make plays," said Ferguson, who played end in high school before bulking up during his redshirt freshman season and sliding inside. "The athleticism (at the ends) is amazing."

MENDHAM BOROUGH — At the King's supermarket in Mendham this morning, Stacey Pinilis of Randolph had a shopping cart full of groceries.
She said about half of it was for a Super Bowl party she was going to later today.
"My husband will be wearing the same outfit he wore for all the playoff games," she said. "He'd be wearing the same thing he wore four years ago if he could remember what it was."
She already made the macaroni and cheese, and her cart was stuffed with lots of fresh vegetables — broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, string beans and cucumbers for platters. She said she's all about healthy food.
Abby Mayer, 56, of Mendham, was shopping for tin trays to put his chicken wings in to bring to a party in Warren Township.
He said he's been a big Giants fan for many years. In fact, his brother had season tickets in the 1980s, so he went to many games.
"I'm excited in a subdued kind of way," he said. "I'm not as rowdy as I used to be."

Floyd Little: A Hall of Famer?
By CASEY OLSON
The Mirror
Floyd Littles phone hasnt rung yet.
But the Federal Way resident is still waiting patiently for a call that he knows might never come a call from the Professional Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Its a phone number every football player who straps on a pair of shoulder pads dreams about seeing pop up on their caller ID.
Well see what happens, said Little.
Many would argue that Littles nine-year career (1967-75) in the National Football League with the Denver Broncos warranted enshrinement in Canton a long time ago. The running backs statistics dont lie. When Little hung up his cleats, he was the sixth leading rusher in NFL history with 6,323 yards. Little trailed only Jim Brown, O.J. Simpson, Jim Taylor, Joe Perry, Leroy Kelly and John Henry Johnson. All six are in the Hall of Fame. In fact, there are eight modern-era running backs in the Hall with fewer yards.
I cant figure out why Im not in, the five-time Pro Bowler said. Ive been asked many times why Ive been omitted.
Littles career statistics compare favorably with all the running backs in the Hall. Among the 38 backs enshrined, Little would rank 15th in rushing, 10th in receiving yards (2,418 yards), third in kickoff returns (2,523 yares) and fourth in punt returns (939 yards).
But this might finally be the year that the coveted call from Canton comes.
Little will be notified later this month if the Hall of Fame is in his future when the Senior Committee, a group of nine sportswriters, convenes in Ohio to choose two NFL senior nominees from a list of players from the pre-1980 era. Little has been eligible for induction since 1981, five years after he retired, but has never been nominated moving him into the senior category.
The committee will put together a list of 15 senior nominations, which will be pared down to two in January 2006. The final Hall of Fame selections for 2006 will be announced at the Super Bowl in Detroit. The 2005 class includes Dan Marino and Steve Young and a pair of Senior Committee nominees Bennie Friedman and Fritz Pollard.
I wrote all the guys on the (Senior) Committee a letter, Little said last month. I talked with one of them and he said, I forgot all about you. I just assumed you were already in.
Littles Hall of Fame case may have been hampered by the fact that the Broncos just werent a very good ball club during his playing days. In his nine-year career, Littles Broncos went a combined 47-73-6 and never made the playoffs.
Fair or not, you get more visibility from the writers if you are in the Super Bowl, he said.
Visibility isnt a problem when Little steps foot in Denver. To illustrate the amount of respect the Broncos first-ever No. 1 draft pick still generates, all you have to do is go back seven years. Following the Broncos first of two Super Bowl titles in 1998, Little received maybe the highest praise possible when he was greeted with a hug from John Elway in the lobby of a Denver hotel.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Elway said to Little before a celebrity golf tournament.
Maybe the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL was thanking Little for being the first Mr. Bronco and bringing legitimacy and stability to the franchise during the early lean seasons.
Last year, Elway became the first longtime Bronco player enshrined into the Hall of Fame and Little was there watching with pride.
Im just delighted that John will be the first to represent us. Maybe after John, there will be a few others, said Little, whose number 44 currently hangs high atop Invesco Field in Denver as one of the four original Ring of Fame inductees in 1984.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is about the only Hall Little isnt already a part of. The owner of Pacific Coast Ford in Federal Way was also inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983 after a stellar career at Syracuse University from 1964-66 and is an honorary member of the American Football Leagues (AFL) Hall of Fame. The Denver Broncos started as a member of the AFL, where they stayed through 1969, before incorporating into the NFL.
While at Syracuse, Little was a three-time All-American after rushing for 2,704 yards. He also scored in 22 of 30 regular-season games for the Orangemen, including five times in one game, while wearing the same storied number 44 as former Syracuse stars Jim Brown and Ernie Davis.
A lot of people think I should have been in the Hall of Fame five years after my retirement, Little said. I didnt think I was too bad for a guy who played for a team that wasnt very good.
So, for now, Little will continue to wait for that coveted call from Canton. He just hopes the wait doesnt last too much longer.

Hillsboro Fire & Rescue extinguished an old 12,000-gallon asphalt container Thursday that had caught on fire while being cut apart for disposal.
At 11:30 a.m., a total of 8 Firefighters responded to the industrial yard of Contech Engineered Solutions and doused the container with foam.
No injuries were reported.
Bruce Montgomery, a fire spokesman, said workers were in the middle of splitting the container into manageable pieces with a cutting torch when the asphalt inside caught fire.

Greg Crance of Delaware River Tubing went before the Freeholders Tuesday night for help in getting a new place for his customers to park.
He wants to use a small part of the former Gail and John Cooley Jr. property at 2868 Daniel Bray Highway (Route 29), which the state Department of Environmental Protection bought last year for $2.3 million for preservation. Such an arrangement would let him operate this year.
The Freeholders agreed to write a letter to the state endorsing his proposal, and he thanked the board. But Freeholder Director Matt Holt cautioned him against too much exuberance just yet.
"We don't guarantee results, we guarantee effort, that is all," Holt said.
Still, "We really appreciate the way that the Freeholders responded," Crance said Wednesday. The reason he went before the board, he explained, is because his business is "trying to fit into their economic program that they're working on now, to promote tourism and river recreation in general. It is really, really nice to feel their support."
Crance needs a new parking place because the lease he's had for 10 years to use the Frenchtown Roller Rink property is up and owner Kay Pinkerton did not want to renew it.
"We tried to work it out, but the final decision was what it was," Crance said. "We wish her and her roller rink much success. We hope to work sometime in the future together." Retired school buses were used to haul patrons and their rented tubes to and from the river.
He told the Freeholders of scouring the region for a new parking place, checking out possible locations on routes 12, 29, 513 and 519.
"We've looked all around." The problem, he said, is that his business runs less than three months a year and getting various zoning approvals for this year could take until summer is over.
The former Cooley property is the "best location" for parking, Crance said, because north of Fairview Road, it's between the drop-offs his business uses for letting off customers for three-hour or four-hour tube rides.
Until last year Crance was able to access the river for no charge; last year the DEP started calling it a concession, sought bids and wanted at least $140,000 a year. He was able to negotiate it down to $100,000.
It's his argument that using the Cooley land would let him stay in business, meaning the state would get its $100,000 from him plus sales tax receipts from his customers. And the state gets income tax from his 70-some employees, he said.
He'd be happy for a temporary parking arrangement for this summer, "and see if it works well, then go for all the legal process, all the legal steps."
Crance said a rainy summer in 2013 caused him to suspend operations frequently — whenever the river was dangerously high and swift. He said in an interview that the year's volume, 29,463 customers, was about half the volume of his peak year, 2012.
After a public hearing going over five nights, the Kingwood Townshp Board of Adjustment last November agreed to let Crance use his small lot on Route 29 as a staging and storage area for the tubing and boat rental business. It listed various conditions of approval.
A former Kingwood Townshp Committee member and mayor, Elaine Niemann, was at the Freeholder meeting supporting Crance.
From the audience, East Amwell Township resident Andrea Bonette, a Democrat who has run for Freeholder several times, also spoke up for him.
She told of taking three family members tubing and said Crance runs a class operation. "It was wonderful," she said of the experience.

Power outages caused by Saturday's massive snowstorm closed gas stations and automatic teller machines Sunday across Western Massachusetts Sunday, leaving residents desperately searching for fuel and cash.
While filling up at a gas station in Springfield, Mark Stevens said he and his wife went on a three-hour search to find gas for his car and the generator he bought Saturday.
He said he felt lucky to buy the generator - he found that at a local hardware store - but searched throughout his Sixteen Acres neighborhood and Enfield before finding at open gas station on Main Street in Springfield.
Stevens called it a victory to finally be able to find a gas station, especially since he has neighbors staying with his family until power is restored.
"We live in East Longmeadow and there is no gas in East Longmeadow. We were happy to find this," said Michael Ravosa, who was also filling up at the Mobil station on Main Street in Springfield.
Robert L. Bolduc, owner of Pride Gas Stations and Convenience Stores, said that as of Sunday afternoon power outages had left only three of his 25 stations able to pump gas.
"It's a zoo out there," Bolduc said.
Still, Pride stores remained open with employees doing transactions by hand using calculators.
Bolduc said some stations in Springfield, Chicopee and West Springfield are operating, but most are without power.
"We are dealing with National Grid, Western Massachusetts Electric Company, Chicopee Electric and several other electric companies. We will get power when everyone else in town does," he said.
Bolduc said customers can call the Pride helpline at (413)737-6992 to get current information on which gas stations are open.
Even pumps owned by local communities were not working without electricity.
Gov. Deval L. Patrick said tanker trucks have been dispatched mainly to fuel critical generators which are running water department and waste water treatment pumps.
Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno warned residents to be patient and careful, and said police were dispatched to direct traffic on East Columbus Avenue because of people waiting for a chance to get gas.
"Near gas stations, people are lining up in the streets," he said.
At the Massachusetts Turnpike in Charlton, people who were waiting for a turn to get gas were backed up onto the highway.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) -The Columbus City Council said Tuesday (6-18) night it is frustrated by the school board's handling of the firing of Superintendent Martha Liddell.
But they also told the NAACP and other concerned citizens that under state law, the council can't meddle in the school board's business or remove school board members without cause. Those reasons only include a felony crime or mental instability. Mayor Robert Smith promised citizens he and the council plan to meet with the school board to get some insight into its decision but that legal and personnel matters also safeguard some decisions and proceedings.

It's Philippe's turn again. Today he starts with an image of his son David and turns it into a poster like the ones made by Shephard Fairey.
We had a show about this topic by Andrew A. Gill, who made a USSR propaganda style poster out of a portrait of President Roosevelt.
Philippe uses basically the same technique but has some aditional tricks in his sleeve, as separating zones with details that have to be preserved from others that should turn into flat areas and clear lines. And he shows how to get some fine lines into the image to get a half tone shade. The result really looks like a serigraph.
As always he starts with carefull watching and planning – a thing I too often forget.

SAGINAW, MI — The Saginaw Spirit named veteran Vincent Trocheck as the captain for the 2012-13 season heading into Friday's season-opener at Guelph.
Trocheck assumes the captaincy vacated by Brandon Saad, the Chicago Blackhawks prospect who held the position last season.
Trocheck, a Florida Panthers prospect, was second in the OHL in assists last season and led the Spirit in scoring with 85 points. Trocheck needs 57 points this season to set the Spirit career record for points.
Alternate captains are Garret Ross, Steven Strong and Eric Locke.
Ross, who scored 25 goals last season, was a fifth-round pick by the Chicago Blackhawks last season. Strong is starting his second full season with Saginaw after a trade with the Belleville Bulls, while Locke was picked up in January in a trade with the Barrie Colts.
The Spirit open the season with two road games, beginning with a 7:30 p.m. game Friday at Guelph and a 7:30 p.m. game Saturday at Owen Sound.
The home opener is at 7:11 p.m. Sept. 27 versus the Sudbury Wolves at the Dow Event Center. The Spirit play again at Dow Event Center at 7:11 p.m. Sept. 29 against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
Single game and season tickets are available by calling 989-497-7747.

Retired Judge C. Hearn Taylor, who served 17 years on the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court bench and was a longtime community activist, died Thursday at Ochsner Medical Center - Kenner. He was 65.
The cause of death has not been determined.
A native of Charlottesville, Va., who had lived in New Orleans since 1983, Judge Taylor won a seat on the Juvenile Court bench without opposition in 1991. He retired in November 2008.
Judge Taylor earned an undergraduate degree at Howard University in Washington, D.C., and worked in the U.S. Justice Department. When prisoners took over a detainment area in the federal courthouse and took hostages, he helped resolve the standoff and arrange for the captives' release.
For this work, he was honored in the Justice Department and on the Senate floor.
He won an Earl Warren Legal Scholarship from the NAACP to attend Southern University's law school in Baton Rouge. But before enrolling, he studied at the University of Dayton in Ohio and worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office there.
While a law student, he worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Baton Rouge and was active in the American Bar Association's Law Student Division, becoming chairman of the Law Student Division of the bar association's House of Delegates, its policymaking body.
He returned to Washington after earning his law degree, and he worked in the Departments of Justice and Housing and Urban Development before returning to New Orleans in 1983.
In addition to practicing law, he was an ad hoc judge in all five sections of Orleans Parish's Juvenile Court and was appointed to the Governor's Task Force on Judicial Selection and the Civil Service Commission. He joined the Civil Sheriff Reserve Deputies Association and was elected its president.
He decided to seek a Juvenile Court judgeship when Clarence Giarrusso retired. He faced no opposition and took the oath of office on Nov. 15, 1991.
Judge Taylor sat on the boards of the City Park Improvement Association, Each One Save One, the Holman Vocational Center, the Velocity Foundation, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater New Orleans and the Orleans Parish School Board Derham School Community Resource Center, as well as NO/AIDS Task Force's advisory board.
He also was a member of the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Criminal Justice, the Louisiana Supreme Court Task Force on Racial and Ethnic Fairness in the Courts, 100 Black Men, Omega Psi Phi fraternity, the Louis B. Martinet Legal Society, Jack and Jill of America, and the National, American and Louisiana bar associations.
Southern University Law Center named Judge Taylor an outstanding alumnus, and he received the American Bar Association's Silver Key Award, the Lawman of the Year Award from Kiwanis International's Big Easy chapter and the Alliance for Good Government's Herbert Hoover Eddington Award.
Judge Taylor, who taught part-time at Xavier University, twice received the Outstanding Jurist Award from Citizens and Victims Against Crime of Greater New Orleans.
Survivors include his wife, Janice Chenier Taylor; a daughter, Chenier Hearn Taylor of New York City; a brother, William Roscoe Taylor III of Rockville, Md.; and a sister, Marilyn Taylor Edwards of New Orleans.
A Mass will be said Friday at 11 a.m. at St. Anthony of Padua Church, 4640 Canal St.
A visitation will be held Thursday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at D.W. Rhodes Funeral Home Chapel, 3933 Washington Ave. A remembrance service will be held at 7 p.m.

Everyone is holding forth on the "Duck Dynasty," A&E anti-Christian firing of Phil Robertson. I never watched the show, but I understand it was the Network's most profitable offering to date. I'm sure no one is surprised at the backlash from Christians. Perhaps A&E is a little surprised! But what is truly disturbing under all of this – the biggest mouth and ego anywhere on television has rendered his multi-million dollar opinion. I know many Christians who hang on O'Reilly's every word.
What Does the Fox Say? You're Stupid
What does the Fox say? You're stupid.
The number one conservative talk show on television just sent evangelicals a Christmas present. It's a box of antipathy wrapped with condescension with a card that says, "You are a moron." No exchanges allowed.
In response to the Duck Debacle, Bill O'Reilly judged Phil Robertson for judging homosexuals. The irony was caught by everyone but TV's number one pontificator who mangled Scripture beyond recognition to inform us Jesus would never judge anyone. That is true, except for the temple merchants, Zaccheus, the woman at the well, the Pharisees, the disciples and one day, the entire world.
Bill claims that Christians cannot tell anyone that they are going to hell. He must not have studied Matt. 18:15-20 for "Killing Jesus."
Bernie Goldberg chimed in by calling evangelicals and the Apostle Paul himself, "ignoramuses." He seethed that we are ignorant and so is the Bible.
Bottom line: evangelicals can hold onto their stupid theology but we better keep it to our stupid selves. And these are our friends.
What is the moral to the Duck Dynasty disaster? Christians are a stone's throw away from stones being thrown.
I think I'll hang on God's Word – and not the ignorant, prideful words, of Bill O'Reilly or anyone else. . .
1 Peter 4:4-7
King James Version (KJV)
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 Who shall give account to Him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Boy George Is Reviewing Hotel Thread Counts Now
I honestly don't know what to think about Boy George's latest career move, becoming a blogger for Paper magazine. Or, more appropriately, the magazine's hotel room correspondent.
The sometimes-pop star will be "writing about anything and everything," we're assured. And to kick things off, hotel amenities? Sure why not.
When you travel as much as I do, the comfort of a bed or quality of the pillows are deal-breakers (I like a hard pillow myself.). That said, I couldn't tell you if my bed at the Hillscourt Conference Centre, where I'm staying while I attend my cousin Vanessa's wedding to her fiance Dave, was comfortable or not because I didn't sleep a wink last night. I've been poorly the past few days, dehydration or some minor bug, and have been sleeping for queen and country. Hence my restlessness. But, hey, I'm here for two nights and might yet rave about the splendor of the bed.
The Hillscourt isn't really a proper hotel even if it does have some rooms. Last night in the bar I tried to order a coffee and was told by the waitress, "sorry love, the machine's broken." I was waiting for a "but if you don't mind instant, I'll pop the kettle on," but not a chance. When I requested a bottled water, she looked at me as if I had grown an extra head and pointed me towards a water fountain. In retrospect this was quite thrifty, but what I wanted was a coffee.
B.G. goes on to describe what he watched on television that night. Sadly, it was not this.
George used to write a column for a newspaper in England. It was actually funny and entertaining some of the time. But this piece was really boring. Like a lot of celebrities he thinks that every thought he has and every thing he does no matter how mundane is fascinating to us non-famous people.
He goes on about his (heterosexual) cousin's wedding, but never says one word in the piece about the fight for marriage equality for gay people. You would think if you had a platform you would want to mention such an important issue and not mundane things like your hotel room or bad tv shows.
Yes she would make a great american idol judge!
Once Simon left, we weren't sure if she could replaced–the way she sparred with Ms. Secrest.
But Ms. George would be a perfect match for Ms. Secrest.
Ms. Lubey Slicky Vagina
George can't be an American Idol judge because he's banned from entering the United States because of his conviction for handcuffing an escort.
He can be funny, but I find him very overrated and overhyped. I find him quite mean, nasty and hypocritical. He's criticized shows such as American Idol many times before so to be a judge on there would be hypocritical and would show he's just about the money and the fame.
I would like to share with you more about travelling. I like it very much. I junkets a lot, almost once a month and visit multitudinous towns and countries. One of the most beautiful cities I motto form without surcease is Krakow. This city is as a matter of fact superb. You can initiate there a portion of restaurants, interesting places to fall upon and definitely you will become aware of remember to sleep.
In experience accommodation in Krakow is equal of the surpass from Polish cities so when you go to Poland and prerequisite to find comfortable accommodation you sooner a be wearing to extend to Krakow. If noclegi Krakow is not facer for you, you determination all things considered clear interested that a destiny of interesting places that are due to the fact that unwavering quality visiting – old churches, out of date buildings, restaurants. Of course you find in Krakow also uncountable places to go shopping if you as a matter of fact need.
I've been to Krakow twice and I anticipate to set off there next week with my girlfriend. I think you should also ho there
Most qualified regards

i need to know if this cpu cooler COOLER MASTER RR-B20-N620-GP 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler
will fit in the LIAN LI Lancool PC-K62 Black 0.8 mm SECC, Plastic + Mesh ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
here is the link to the cpu cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103066
here is thel ink to the case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112239
I am having a hard time finding a desent cpu cooler fitting in this or the nzxt tempest evo case. without spending more than 50.00 bucks for the cooler. from my understanding this cooler got really good ratings and works well is the first reason i picked it. The second reason i picked this cooler it matched my theme with the blue led fan. any help would be apreciated in this setup fyi it will be cooling a 965 be for a clients pc build.
The case is Dimensions(L x W x H) 19.61" x 8.43" x 19.53".
Heatsink Dimensions 140.8 x 50.8 x 158 mm
158mm = 6.22 inches.
It can't be more than 1 inch for the motherboard standoffs, motherboard, grid array and CPU. = 7.22 inches at most. Maybe a little room for the motherboard tray if it has one taking it to 7.43" max. That gives you about 1 inch of play with the side doors on and no side fans. *update* minus the space the side doors use is about a half inch and that gives you less than a half inch of play.
My Tt V9 case is only 8.19" wide and I have a Cooler Master v8 that is 158mm tall and it just barely fits without the side door fan installed. I'm guessing that 158mm might be a limiting factor that these giant coolers try to stay within?
thanks dude i just have a hard time with conversions.. i have standard rulers and no metric ones. Just from what i looked and tryed to guess at i thought it was gonna be a tighter fit than that thanks again jared
Just to confirm my measurements. I forgot to minus space for the side doors, that's another half inch. This thread has this case and the person installed a Cooler Master V8 with the same 158mm height.
"I have an oversized cooler and it fit with room on all sides. In my last case it was a tight fit with the top of the CPU cooler pretty much touching the case door."
That was the same issue I had and it's probably the same for your cooler and case as well. It's going to be a tight fit but it will work.
wow that is a monster cooler! thanks for posting this i feel more confident about this cooler lol

My experience with marijuana is very little so i asked some of my "experienced" freinds and they said that for brownies all you need is the leaf of the plant and that it has ample ammounts of THC if you make it with the butter. So my question is, what preporation is needed for the leaves before i go making hash butter? And for someone who will probably get high pretty easy, how much leaf should i use? Complete noob talking here so please please correct EVERYTHING! Much love J

GRAND RAPIDS -- Two hours after Grand Rapids Police Officer Robert Kozminski was shot to death, Jeffrey VanVels was with a pair of detectives telling a circuitous tale that ended with his own declaration of guilt.
"I did it, just shoot me," VanVels says in a taped police interview played Monday during his trial on murder charges. "I'm a fruitcake. I killed someone."
Detectives Philip Betz and Erika Fannon sat down with VanVels around 4 a.m. on July 8. By that time, their 29-year-old colleague had been dead for nearly two hours from a shotgun blast.
In the hour-long, uninterrupted interview played for the jury set to decide if VanVels killed the officer, VanVels starts with complete denial. He says he was in the house at the time of his shooting, heard something outside and walked out to see someone on the ground gurgling.
He claims he ran to tell police, who tackled him, beat him up and injured his jaw and entire body.
He then tells police that the last thing he remembers is seeing his 14-year-old son Matt arguing with VanVels' ex-wife, Sharon VanVels. VanVels said the boy had his own gun and was upset by his parents' impending divorce and the fact that he believed his mother had called police to remove his father from the home.
"Matt saw the cops and freaked out and ran out the door," VanVels said adding that he then heard a "pop" and glass breaking.
In fact, it was VanVels' older son, 17-year-old Brian, who had called police, telling them his father was walking around the house with a gun threatening to kill his family.
Coincidentally, Brian was a mascot for the West Michigan Whitecaps and had been with his brother that night at the game, which was also attended by several police officers, including Betz.
VanVels said the two boys fought often because Brian was into music and theater and Matt was into sports, including skeet shooting like his father.
But under questioning by police, VanVels' story kept changing until he admitted that he hid in the garage holding his prized 12-gauge trapshooting gun.
Vanvels' marksmanship on display in trial Monday
"I heard somebody and a radio went off and it freaked me out and I shot the gun," VanVels sobbed. VanVels then says he did not mean to kill anyone, he was firing off a warning shot and hoping that police would shoot him.
"I was suicidal, I just wanted to die," VanVels said. "I never wanted to kill anybody."
A despondent-sounding VanVels repeated that he killed a police officer, he does not deserve to live and that he's going to get the gas chamber.
Several times, VanVels said he heard the police officer gurgling as he died and went to alert officers. But Prosecutor William Forsyth said VanVels waited several minutes before leaving the garage as the life flowed out of the young father and police officer.
Whenever the dying final moments of Kozminski were mentioned, his family and his best friend, fellow officer Joseph Trigg, struggled to keep their composure, sometimes breaking down into sobs as they listened.
VanVels' mother and father also wiped away tears as they listened to their son's confession. Both families have been in Circuit Judge George Buth's courtroom throughout the trial, which began on Wednesday and is expected to wrap up later this week.
VanVels said he meant only to shoot in the air, but prior to the tape being played in court, Forsyth presented numerous exhibits, including the many awards VanVels had received in skeet shooting. The awards included sportsman tournaments where he placed or took the championship and received medals, trophies or beer steins.
The beer steins were filled with patches and pins, some declaring that VanVels had hit 25, 50 or 75 targets in a row.
Forsyth also presented the service door taken off the VanVels' garage with the broken glass where the shot allegedly went through before it killed Kozminski.
Also on display was the alleged murder weapon, which VanVels said was a key source of frustration with his former wife. She was upset at the time he spent on the sport and the $5,000 he spent on the 682 Gold E Beretta over-under 12-gauge weapon. An over-under gun is where the twin barrels are stacked instead of sitting side-by-side on the stock.
On Tuesday, more of the police interview is scheduled to be played.

If you've been following the developments in the world of electric cars, then you probably recall the Great EV Claim of 2009: that the Chevy Volt would get the equivalent of 230 mpg and the Nissan Leaf would earn a 367-mpg rating.
After the story dangled out there in the media for 14 months, it disappeared and was replaced by a less spectacular version late in 2010, which said that the "new" numbers for the Leaf and Volt were 99 mpg-e and 93 mpg-e, respectively.
The new numbers are much more reasonable, of course. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reached those figures by running a test cycle, determining how many kilowatt-hours were burned per mile, converting that to BTU/mile, and finally dividing that number by the BTUs in a gallon of gasoline.
But the wild difference between the new and old numbers raises questions: What method was used to calculate the old numbers? How could such ridiculous figures ever see the light of day? How could they have remained in the public eye for so long? And, most importantly, what does all this say about our ability to understand the benefits of electric cars?
Information about the old calculation procedure is sketchy. In 2009, Nissan told Design News that the 367 figure was reached by using an EPA figure of 82.048 kWh/gallon of gasoline, and dividing that by the energy burned by the Leaf (0.223 kWh per mile).
Turns out, though, there are problems with both numbers. In a 2010 EPA drive cycle assessment, the energy-per-mile figure jumped to 0.337 kWh per mile – in other words, the car burns about 50% more energy than they had previously thought. Still, that accounts for only about half the gigantic difference.
As best as we can tell, the other half of the difference lies in the use of 82 kWh/gallon of gasoline. Apparently, this number is not accepted by anyone who knows about the energy content of gasoline, yet it remained out there for 14 months before the figures were publicly changed. In its 2010 methodology, the EPA employed a figure of 33 kWh/gallon, instead of 82.
The bottom line is that the Leaf dropped from 367 mpg-e to 99 mpg-e in one quick stroke.
To be sure, the EPA never released a description of its original draft methodology, so the public will never really know how the old numbers came into being.
But the sudden drop in the miles-per-gallon equivalency figures illustrates an important point: The methodology for determining mpg-e is still slippery.
Even the Progessive Automation XPrize Foundation, which continues to be a voice of reason on this subject, has acknowledged that such calculations are difficult.
"We're still in the learning stage," notes John Shore, former senior advisor to the Automotive XPrize Foundation. "It all depends on the test cycle. You can take an electric vehicle, drive it at 40 mph on a flat road, without any accelerations or decelerations, and get one number. On the other hand, if you drive around corners, braking, accelerating, decelerating, you'll get a very different number."
Shore commends the EPA and says that its current methodology is a solid one. He warns, however, that all such ratings are still a moving target.
In other words: At this early stage, it's best to take it all in with a dose of skepticism.

Last week's treasure found
The Kalamazoo Savings Bank is one of the great examples in Kalamazoo of Greek Revival, Neoclassical architecture. Like the First Church of Christ Scientist, this building follows one of the Greek Classical orders. This is a fairly pure form of the Ionic Classical order. The Christ Scientist Church was basically Doric order, but with some Ionic traits. All the elements of classical architecture are here, including the pediment, entablature with architrave and engraved name of the building on the architrave. Today, this marble-faced building is the home of Keyser Insurance Agency. It stands at 151 East Michigan Ave., where Portage Street cuts off on a diagonal from East Michigan.

To: Your State Representatives & State Senate (sign below & we'll send this petition directly to them)
There is a growing movement in state legislatures across the nation calling for a Constitutional Convention (Con Con), specifically for the purpose of enacting a balanced budget amendment.
There is no question about the frustration and fear many of us feel concerning runaway government spending at the federal level and the urge to do something to stop it.
However, many well – intentioned state legislators are apparently unaware that there is no way to control the agenda of a Con Con once 34 states have passed resolutions to petition Congress to call one.
In fact, Article V of the Constitution gives no guidelines for organizing a Con Con; for delegate selection; or for delegate eligibility. All of those decisions are left to Congress to decide. States have no guarantee that they will even be represented. A Con Con could result in the complete change of our way of government. There simply are no controls to prevent that.
This is the worst possible time for such action. We have national leaders who believe the U.S. Constitution is out of date. We have members of the Supreme Court who believe that international law should set precedent for US law. If the Constitution is laid out for delegates to dissect, we could destroy the greatest governing document of all time.
Therefore: I, the undersigned, ask that you, as leader of your state's House of Representatives, take the following action to stop the current drive for a Con Con:
1. If your state passed a Con Con Resolution to call for a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution during the 1970s, I urge you to lead an effort to rescind it.
2. If there is a new effort in your state today to pass such a resolution now, I urge you to oppose it.
We must preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States at all costs. The threat of a Con Con which could change it forever is a real and growing threat. Please take the above actions to stop it.

A Conflict of Rights? On the Recent Controversy Over Religious Accommodation at York University
Jan 23, 2014, 12pm-2pm
What should be done when a male student requests to be excused from participation in a group assignment requiring him to interact with female students against his sincerely held religious belief that this would be improper? Is the student owed religious accommodation, or does his request exceed the bounds of reasonable accommodation? Are the student's beliefs necessarily anti-feminist? Does his request violate the University's commitment to gender equality? If the course director were to grant the request, does he/she implicitly endorse the student's religious beliefs? Would granting the student's request inflict an intolerable harm on women students in the class? Does the student's request confront us with a conflict of rights pitting religious freedom against equality?
You are invited to join a conversation about these and other questions that arise out of the recent controversy over religious accommodation at York.
Stephen Newman is associate professor of political science in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. He teaches courses on political philosophy and this is his 29th year at York University.

What Strength Do You Have to Share?
Chefs & Culinary
Share Our Strength was founded and the name penned by founder and CEO, Billy Shore and his sister and co-founder Debbie Shore more than 25 years ago. Since that time, Billy has often been quoted saying that, "Everyone has a strength to share in the fight to end childhood hunger in America". On Friday, November 30 this was evident inside the Georgia State Capitol as Executives from Ted's Montana Grill presented a check to Share Our Strength in the amount of $159,064.17 and in the presence of Georgia Governor and supporter of No Kid Hungry, Nathan Deal. It was a proud moment for Chairman Ted Turner, co-founder and CEO George McKerrow, Jr. and President of Ted's Montana Grill Kristi Nyhoff, to have the support of Governor Nathan Deal and thousands of employees and customers that support their work to raise funds and visibility of the No Kid Hungry campaign.
For many years, CEO and Co-founder of Ted's Montana Grill, George McKerrow, Jr. has rolled up his sleeves to help Share Our Strength increase visibility of the issue of childhood hunger in America, raise funds and inspire others to get involved. Even though he has a restaurant company to run, he takes time to serve as the co-chair of the Atlanta premier culinary fundraiser: Taste of the Nation, engages his restaurant company in the Dine Out For No Kid Hungry as a No Kid Hungry partner and serves on the Dine Out Advisory Board. He personally reaches out to local and national business leaders and public officials to get them involved in the work to end childhood hunger in America.
In 2011, he opened the door for Share Our Strength and Georgia Governor Nathan Deal to begin dialogue that transpired into making No Kid Hungry a priority in this state. Share Our Strength launched the Georgia Feeding for a Promising Future-No Kid Hungry campaign in November 2011 alongside the Georgia Food Bank Association. The campaign is funded by lead sponsors the Arby's Foundation, Walmart, and the ConAgra Foods Foundation.
And our work expands as we engage more individuals, companies and leaders to come up with new and innovative ways to make sure that no kid goes hungry. Not just business leaders, public officials, non profits or government. We all need to work together to make sure that no kid in America experiences a day where they are challenged to learn in school or feel, have a headache from lack of nutritious food or feel the ache of hunger in their belly. Our children deserve to lead normal, happy and healthy lives.
What strength do you have to share to make sure no kid in America struggles with hunger?

Boston Red Sox owner John Henry was
being driven around driving around Boston Friday morning and was listening to a sports talk show known as 98.5 The Sports Hub. Apparently he became so upset about their treatment of the current Sox' situation that he decided to show up at their studios. I admire that. However, to the credit of the two jocks, named Mike Felger and Tony Massarotti, they proceeded to hit Henry with some very direct and uncomfortable questions. The entire interview was put on their website and is definitely worth a listen, if you can spare the time. The first audio link is 35 minutes long and the second audio link is 32 minutes long.
In the first audio, at about 11:30, Henry is asked about the Carl Crawford signing. He said he did not want Crawford on the team. When I heard that, I thought back to the heyday of George Steinbrenner (1970s-1980s), when 'Monday morning quarterbacking' well after the fact was the rule of the day. Had Crawford performed his career averages of .293/.333 with 51 stolen bases instead of .255/.289 and 18 SBs, I have to wonder if Henry's answer would have been different. The conversation at 27:00 regarding Henry's view about the players hustling or not hustling is also very interesting. A bit later when the in-season weight increase of certain ballplayers is raised, Henry is actually asked "John, how is your eyesight?" when he seems to deny any issue. The first audio also hits upon the club's treatment of Francona and Epstein and the drinking & eating in the clubhouse during games.
The second audio deals with the club's on-field leadership, free agent signings, Henry's focus on the Sox versus his other sports investments, Larry Lucchino, ownership succession if something were to happen to him, and other things.

Why Millions Of Prescriptions Will No Longer Be Filled At Walgreens
Starting this year, many Americans may be surprised to find that their local Walgreens or Duane Reade is no longer in their insurance network. That's because of a dispute between two health care giants. If the back of your insurance card says Express Scripts, you are affected.
