NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio – Get ready to be spooked! The North Ridgeville Lions Club is hosting its annual Spookville event Oct. 12 and 13 from 6-9 p.m. at South Central Park. Spookville invites guests to come face their fears inside a frightful forest.
"It is a quarter-mile haunted forest for kids of all ages," North Ridgeville's Parks and Recreation Program Supervisor Frank Vacha said. "It will feature some characters for the older kids, but will let the little ones go through as well. There will be eight to 10 different stages with witches, goblins and other scary attractions. It will be lots of fun for the kids. "
According to Vacha, the Community Cabin will be open for families with smaller children and a variety of costumed characters will be on hand. Kids are welcome to come dressed in their Halloween costumes.
Admission for Spookville is $2 and proceeds benefit local charities. Visitors also are asked to bring non-perishable food items to be donated to North Ridgeville Community Care.
If a night of spooky creatures doesn't put you in the seasonal spirit, the Parks and Recreation Department is holding its annual Fall Fest Oct. 13 from 4-6 p.m. at South Central Park.
"We will have games, food vendors, face and pumpkin painting, magic show, straw fight and hay rides," (weather permitting), Vacha said. "We encourage people to come sooner rather than later that day as we buy a limited number of pumpkins to give out for the pumpkin painting. Come early to guarantee your child gets a pumpkin. This event is free to the public. We receive a lot of volunteer support from the Key Club and DECA program (marketing program) at the high school, as well as the Friends of the Park non-profit in North Ridgeville."
Finally, the city is offering its annual Tots Trick or Treat event on Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. Children are invited to come to City Hall to march in a parade and receive treats. Pre-registration is required by Oct. 21 on the Park & Rec website.

Whether you are a parent, teacher, pediatrician, daycare owner, or babysitter, you probably cringe every time a young child in your care wants a lollipop.
You want them to be able to enjoy the same satisfying treat you looked forward to when you were young, but just thinking about the choking hazard is enough to cause a panic attack. Fortunately, these Saf-T-Pops Original were invented!
Their unique loop stick is designed to collapse, should a child fall with one in their mouth.Saf-T-Pops Original are a safe and enjoyable first-time candy for little ones, but they are flavorful enough that adults can't resist them either.
This bulk supply includes Apple, Cherry, Grape, and Orange. Each one is independently wrapped to eliminate the risk of contamination and they are kosher-certified. Saf-T-Pops Original are manufactured on dedicated machinery that never sees gluten, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, shellfish, or fish, so you don't have to worry about allergic reactions either.

15 Most Memorable Movies About the End of the World
See how Hollywood has dealt with zombies, cyborgs, epidemics and more
Dr. Strangelove (1964)
Leave it to icy auteur Stanley Kubrick to plant a smile on our faces while destroying the planet in this, the ultimate Cold War-era comedy. After hours of inane back-and-forth between inert bureaucrats, psychotic generals, hapless bomber crews and duplicitous German scientists, the Doomsday Machine finally puts an end to all the petty squabbling ("He'll see the big board!") and seemingly pointless Earthly endeavors ("You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company"). "Well Meet Again" indeed.

Police seek to avoid arrest in high school lockdown
MOREHEAD CITY - Morehead City Police Major Garland Terry has confirmed that authorities have made contact with the the student who made alleged threats which caused West Carteret High School to go on lockdown Wednesday.
Police are working with both families in order to avoid an arrest in the case, Terry said.
Terry also confirmed the student that was removed from class Thursday was the alleged victim, not the student who made the alleged threats.
A lockdown at West Carteret High School now has police searching for two students.
Tabbie Nance with Carteret County Schools said the lockdown started after noon Wednesday. Officials said one student threatened another student, and the school was advised to put the school on lockdown. One person was removed from the school.
The representative from the school says a message will be sent to parents via telephone. The names of the students involved has not been released.
Morehead City Police responded to assist in the lockdown.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation today announced the start of a project to replace the truck weigh station on Interstate 80 East in Hardwick and Knowlton townships.
New state-of-the-art equipment will enable the state to more effectively enforce truck weight and safety regulations, authorities said.
The new station will include a 70-foot-long, three-platform scale and other advanced equipment and buildings.
Officials said the project will improve highway safety on I-80 by improving the station's exit and entrance ramps.
Existing guide rail will be replaced and new overhead signs and retaining walls installed, officials said.
During some stages of construction, the number of I-80 East lanes adjacent to the station will be reduced and the right shoulder will be closed.
At a later stage of construction, NJDOT workers will close the I-80 turnaround located at milepost 2 and redirect motorists to the turnarounds at milepost 4.5 and milepost 0.8. The westbound ramp to the turnaround will remain open to facilitate access to the adjacent Boy Scout campgrounds, officials said.
The $11 million project is scheduled to be completed in June 2012.
Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT's traffic information website for construction updates and real-time travel information.

(Update: Giants announced QB Eli Manning will have an ankle procedure this afternoon.)
Camp Manning 2014 at Duke University began with some notable Giants pass catchers missing. It ended with quarterback Eli Manning needing surgery on the ankle he injured in last year's season finale against the Redskins.
What in the heck went on down there? Too much Eli dunking on big brother Peyton? One Manning try to show the other one up during footwork drills? Or was it all just an inevitability for an athlete who hates to show weakness and admit injury?
In what has become an annual tradition, Eli and Peyton brought teammates to Duke for a spring pilgrimage. This year's Giants contingent included wide receivers Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham, who re-signed with the team this offseason after a two-year stint in San Francisco.
Manning's younger receivers, Rueben Randle and Jerrel Jernigan, weren't in attendance. Neither was tight end Adrien Robinson.
Randle, who was spotted at LSU's Pro Day on Wednesday, is expected to step into Hakeem Nicks' starting spot this season. Jernigan should play a much bigger role after a strong finish to last year.
It was just a year ago that Eli went to Duke with Cruz, Nicks and Louis Murphy to catch his passes. He later called it a "little starter course to the spring."
This time, Eli (far right) tried to rebuild himself following a disastrous season with familiar faces such as quarterback guru David Cutcliffe (Duke's head football coach), Cruz (pictured in the Duke football t-shirt), and Manningham (grey sweatsuit, far left) by his side.
Peyton brought tight end Julius Thomas and wide receivers Wes Welker, Demaryius Thomas, Andre Caldwell and Emmanuel Sanders.
By the looks of things, they seemed to have found the Duke basketball floor and some famous hoops coach with a really long last name. Let's call him Coach K for short. (Original, I know.)
As their father Archie tells it, the only time things get heated between Eli and Peyton are when they step on a basketball court. Would love to know how this one turned out, or if Eli even laced them up. At the time the picture was taken, the Manning brothers were still in once piece, although Eli would need ankle surgery not long after.
Instead of knowing the final score of that pickup game (or even if there was one), we're left wondering why Randle and Jernigan -- the two young Giants receivers who are expected to play much larger roles this season -- weren't in attendance and what exactly happened to Manning in Durham, N.C. Surely a little extra work to get on the same page with their quarterback wouldn't have hurt … if they're quarterback wasn't hurting in the first place.
It was generally admitted after the conclusion of last season there was a slight disconnect between the Giants receivers and their quarterback. And the entire offense as a whole, for that matter. They never seemed to click. This would have been an early opportunity to make sure it didn't happen again.
Instead the Giants have even more questions about their receivers and quarterback. Randle and Jernigan's absence shouldn't sound the alarms, but it does make you scratch your head. If anyone needed the work with Eli, it would seem to be them, not the two veterans returning from injuries who have years of game experience with the Giants' franchise quarterback.
And if the franchise quarterback's ankle wasn't feeling 100 percent in the first place, he should have never been down there himself.


text: LEMGO, 11km north of Detmold, preserves a beguiling small-town atmosphere that harks back to its Hanseatic League prime, its streets a photogenic blend of Weser Renaissance pomp and picturesque half-timbering. Not everything in the town's history is as charming as its architecture, however. Converting to Protestantism after the Reformation, from 1583 to 1681 Lemgo was gripped by an anti-witchcraft frenzy that was cynically exploited by politicians – most notoriously by Hermann Cothmann (1629–83), the so-called Hexenbürgermeister or "witch mayor", who presided over the last, bloodiest, wave of trials. The last woman prosecuted for witchcraft, Maria Rampendahl, survived, but 254 men and women were not so fortunate.

One of the panels was sewed wrong, but has been replaced without problems.
Beautiful. Just wish they were lined.
I love my Avalon curtains. They are soft, light and silky and have a soft glow in the light. They are true to color in the picture and I could not be more pleased. The arrived in a timely manner in spite of the holiday rush. Five stars for this purchase!
We like the curtains. They will add a special touch to our living room and will be easy to care for
Color and design has gone well in my living room with my traditional furniture. Instead of slipping onto a rod, I hung them with clips. Looks great. Drapes look as pictured.
I bought these curtains because of the color. The sage green was light and beautiful. When I received them they were 6 shades darker, instead of brightening our living room, they actually darkened it. I know that color shades from catalogs and on-line may differ, but this was ridiculous. I will be using them in a different room. Doesn't someone check the items going out with the color that they actually are? Will not be buying from here again.
I purchased these curtains and valance for my living room window. The color was just beautiful with a nice sheen. They really gave the room a classy look. Love them and have received many compliments

For six years, Kingdom Hearts fans have been waiting for the third game in the series. And now, with six games in total, the plot is a near labyrinthine mess of connections and revelations. It's with that in mind that I have decided to unravel the plot of the entire series for those who may have missed the opportunity to play some of the spin-offs and those who just want a refresher before diving into the new game. Today we explore Part 3 of our ongoing feature.
Aqua and Terra meet up in a barren clearing surrounded by thousands of rusted Keyblades. She wastes no time in asking of Eraqus's fate, and Terra admits that Xehanort had used him to kill their Master. Aqua says nothing more on the matter, merely stating that if he came to the Keyblade Graveyard with hate and rage in his heart then Xehanort has already won. It's then that Ventus approaches them and explains Xehanort's desire for him and Vanitas to clash. Their fight would forge the "Kye"-blade, a weapon that is capable of plunging all worlds into darkness. Despite their protests, Ventus asks his friends to end his life if it appears that the blade will be created. They reluctantly agree when Xehanort and Vanitas finally appear, confident that the "Kye"-blade would soon be theirs.
An intense battle breaks out with Terra charging at Xehanort but the Master soon proves that he was hiding much of his power. With a twitch of his finger, he creates a whirling vortex containing a mix of the earth and the long-forgotten Keyblades. Terra struggles to break through but it proves impossible. Yet in the confusion, Ventus had crept up behind Xehanort and attempts to strike. With a mere twist of his body, the Master dodges the attack and catches Ventus in his grasp. As Ventus struggles to free himself, Xehanort uses a Blizzard spell to turn the boy to ice and throws him over a cliff. Aqua rushes to save Ventus from the fall while Xehanort transforms his Keyblade into a ball of dark energy before sending it skyward, breaking apart the thick clouds to reveal Kingdom Hearts.
This elusive portal is believed to be many things, from the essence of all light to the lair of true darkness to the heart of all worlds. No one is exactly sure, but most believe that it is the aggregate of all hearts. But the true Kingdom Hearts is difficult to summon as it requires a massive amount of hearts in a single place while having a special person open a hidden door. As such, it is likely that this Kingdom Hearts is not the true one. However, Xehanort believes that if he can forge the "Kye"-blade then its power will summon the true Kingdom Hearts.
To further drive Terra toward the darkness, Braig arrives with orders to kill Aqua. He is now sporting an eyepatch and a scar from his earlier battle with Terra but appears no worse for wear. Despite his considerable strength, Braig is defeated by Aqua, and he is forced to slip away before she can finish him. But as Braig leaves, Vanitas appears before her. Terra struggles to return to his friends side but Xehanort blocks him at every turn, making it impossible for him to turn his attention away from the battle at hand. With Ventus still frozen and only able to watch events helplessly, Aqua is forced to face Vanitas alone, but he proves too powerful. As he knocks her out, Ventus's pure fury finally frees him from his frozen prison. He attacks his dark half and is able to emerge victorious, but that proves to be exactly what Xehanort had wanted. Vanitas reveals that with his body disappearing, he and Ventus would merge within one body once again.
His mask dissolves, revealing that he has the same face as an older Sora. Though no one realizes it at the time, the reason for his appearance is because it had been Sora who had merged his heart with Ventus's back when he was comatose on Destiny Islands. Even though Vanitas and Ventus's bodies were apart, they are still connected and Vanitas drew upon Sora's heart to form his face and voice. It's also unveiled that Vanitas has been the source of all Unversed from the very beginning. Ventus tries to resist the fusion, but he is pinned by an unending horde of Unversed. Despite his efforts, the two sides merge creating a massive burst of energy that sends an enormous burst of light skyward.
Terra and Xehanort break from their battle when they see the pillar. Xehanort is filled with devilish glee for he knows that the "Kye"-blade had been forged. He then uses his Keyblade on himself to release his own heart. Terra is shocked that he would do this until Xehanort's heart forces itself into his body. Despite his resistance, Xehanort quickly takes full control of Terra though the boy hadn't given up completely. His heart reaches out to his discarded armor and forces it to take form. The armor and Terra's body fight one final battle with Xehanort overwhelmed by Terra's strength of heart. He passes out though he still has control over Terra's body.
At the bottom of the cliff, Aqua awakens in Mickey's arms. He sadly points toward Ventus's body whose hand clutches the now-forged "Kye"-blade. There is little left of Ventus anymore. His body had been taken over by Vanitas. She desperately struggles to fight against Vanitas, but it isn't enough. In a final desperate act, she clutches her Wayfinder and remembers the many good times she had shared with her friends and all the people she had met on her journey. As she does, light fills her Keyblade and she brings it down upon the "Kye"-blade. To Vanitas's amazement, cracks began to form along the evil Keyblade and a torrent of dark energy flows forth. Everything in the immediate area is swallowed by this energy with only Mickey able to barely avoid it. As the energy subsides, Kingdom Hearts vanishes along with Terra's body, leaving only his motionless armor behind.
Inside his own heart, Ventus discovers that the "Kye"-blade was not yet finished and his union with Vanitas is not complete. The sides of darkness and light clash yet again with Ventus seeking to destroy the "Kye"-blade once and for all and Vanitas seeking to complete the merger. However, if the blade is destroyed then Ventus will lose his heart completely. Wanting only to protect his friends, Ventus defeats his dark half without a second thought to the consequences. The "Kye"-blade and Ventus's Keyblade begin to disintegrate while Vanitas's essence disappears forever. Satisfied that his friends would be safe, Ventus calmly accepts his fate.
In the aftermath of the great battle, Mickey finds Ventus and Aqua's unconscious bodies in the space between worlds and brings them back to Yen Sid's tower. When Aqua awakens, she finds Ventus sleeping nearby, but he doesn't respond to her calls. His heart has been fractured once again though this time the boy may sleep for all eternity unless it can somehow be repaired. Yen Sid believes that should his friends believe in their bond then his heart will eventually follow them back to the light. Taking heart in those words, Aqua sets out to find the missing Terra.
Aqua first heads to a world that Ventus unconsciously guides her. She hopes that it is a place that he can sleep safely. It turns out to be the ruins of the Land of Departure. Shocked to see her home in such a state, Aqua takes hold of Master Eraqus's Keyblade and remembers a lesson he had once taught her. Using his Keyblade, she locks the land away with Ventus safely tucked inside a hidden chamber while resting upon a pure white throne. The Land of Departure transforms into a place known only as Castle Oblivion. Promising to return to him someday with Terra, Aqua goes on the next part of her journey.
She hears Terra's voice asking her to put an end to him, and she follows it to Radiant Garden. There, she meets the now white-haired Terra who seems to have no memory of his past. He is completely consumed by an immense darkness which declares that Terra's light has been extinguished. Aqua doesn't believe him and engages him in battle. She wins this final battle and sees signs that Terra is not truly gone. He fights to regain control, but Xehanort turns his Keyblade on himself in order to expel Terra once and for all. Instead, a pool of darkness spills forth and consumes him. Aqua dives into the darkness to save him but soon realizes that only one of them could return. Sacrificing herself, she sends Terra's body back to the realm of light with a boost from her armor and Keyblade. As she falls further into the Realm of Darkness, her last thoughts are of Ventus and the promise that she will one day wake him.
Back on Destiny Islands, Sora and Riku are staring at the night sky when Sora realizes that he's crying for no reason. Riku believes that someone out there may be hurting to such a great degree that it's calling out to someone for help. Sora wants to know if there's any way to help this person, and Riku suggests that he may just need to open his heart and listen. Sora does so and his heart connects with Ventus's for a second time. Until his fractured heart can be restored, the remains of Ventus's heart will rest inside Sora.
Within Radiant Garden, Braig leads a man named Ansem the Wise, the ruler of this world, to a man who had collapsed in the square. They find Aqua's armor and Keyblade nearby, the only remnants of her existence. Ansem asks the dazed man his name. Delirious, he merely replies, "Xehanort." Braig flashes a knowing smile at these words though Ansem does not see this reaction. Instead, he decides to take the young man in and care for him.
Meanwhile, Aqua is utterly exhausted from her travels through the darkness. Strange monsters are constantly attacking and she is losing the will to go on. It is then that two beams of light emerge and take the form of Terra and Ventus's keyblades. They quickly dispatch the monsters and help Aqua realize that her friends had found her even in the darkness. Somehow she had discovered light in the deepest darkness. Terra has also not been completely lost to the darkness. Deep within himself, he faces the old body of Xehanort. He's too weak to fight, but just strong enough that he won't completely disappear. Xehanort is confident that he will eventually consume all of Terra, but Terra is just as confident that he'll be free of the Master someday. Xehanort reminds him of his patience and lets Terra know that his body is merely one of many plans he had laid.
As time passes, the new body of Xehanort becomes one of the apprentices of Ansem the Wise though he has seemingly lost all of his memories. Along with Xehanort, Ansem has five other apprentices: Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo. Together, they all use his vast resources to research the heart and darkness in the hope of protecting Radiant Garden. Eventually Ansem proposes conducting an experiment on the heart and Xehanort volunteers to be the subject. Ever since taking him in, Ansem has been impressed with his intellectual curiosity and and deep wisdom. Ansem still has some reservations though as Xehanort may be too talented, too brilliant in this research.
In order to facilitate the experiments, Ansem constructs a laboratory in the basement of his castle as all of his apprentices become enraptured by the study. However, he soon learns that his apprentices are taking the experiments too far and conducting inhumane research on people's hearts. The research is immediately ceased and Ansem the Wise seals off the laboratory before sinking into a deep depression due to his initial experimentation on Xehanort. His unease is lifted though at the arrival of King Mickey who, in the passing years, had discovered a new way to travel between worlds. He had named it a Gummi Ship, and it was constructed of fallen meteors.
Mickey and Ansem the Wise become fast friends and spend countless hours talking about the different worlds. When Mickey learns of the research that Ansem had done, he warns his friend of the possible consequences. Taking his warning to heart, Ansem attempts to destroy his laboratory completely but, to his horror, discovers a series of reports bearing his name that weren't written by him. Instead, they had been penned by Xehanort. Ansem soon learns that Xehanort had convinced all of the apprentices to help him with his unethical experiments. Delving so deep into darkness brings about awful consequences, namely the creation of an entirely new being, the Heartless. They are the physical manifestations of the darkness within people's hearts and behave entirely without emotions. These creatures came in two forms: Purebloods and Emblems. Purebloods are naturally occurring Heartless while Emblems are those created artificially by Xehanort's experimentation.
The darkness has also driven all of the apprentices, save Xehanort, insane and they banish Ansem the Wise to the same Realm of Darkness that Aqua had found herself in. Consumed by the need for vengeance, Ansem discards his stolen name and takes on the mantle of Darkness in Zero, or DiZ. He eventually gains the powers of darkness and uses them to keep an eye on Xehanort. He learns that the Heartless eventually escaped his former castle and lay waste to Radiant Garden. He also learns of the fate of his former apprentices and the fact that Xehanort had turned himself into a Heartless though it maintained a human form. Since humans could not hope to control the Heartless, Xehanort had sacrificed his body to gain this power. Xehanort's Heartless takes the name Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, for himself. While he begins formulating a new plan for conquering Kingdom Hearts, DiZ uses his new power over darkness to escape the Realm of Darkness. He takes shelter in an abandoned mansion in a world known as Twilight Town where he plans to watch Xehanort's Heartless while preparing his own plan for revenge.

"I loved to take her hair down and she sat on the bed and kept very still, except suddenly she would dip down to kiss me while I was doing it, and I would take out the pins and lay them on the sheet and it would be loose and I would watch her while she kept very still and then take out the last two pins and it would all come down and she would drop her head and we would both be inside of it, and it was the feeling of inside a tent or behind a falls.
She had wonderfully beautiful hair and I would lie sometimes and watch her twisting it up in the light that came in the open door and it shone even in the night as water shines sometimes just before it is really daylight."

Johnny Depp may not have gone Kanye West and Kim Kardashian all out, but he did make a dent in his bank account for girlfriend Amber Heard! According to Life & Style Weekly, Depp dropped nearly $50,000 at jeweler Neil Lane on gifts for Heard. An eyewitness told the magazine, "He got her diamond drop earrings set in platinum — about two carats total." And he didn't quit with just earrings- he also bought Heard the matching diamond pendant…you know, to complete the set!
Sounds like their relationship is going pretty well, if this high-end bling is any indicator!

MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI -- Heavy backpacks are becoming old school with initiatives to put laptops and other devices in the hands of every student, with those at Holton High School the latest to benefit from the emerging education trend.
Each Holton High student recently received their own Google Chromebook in the initiative to prepare students for the technology-rich world they will need to make a living in after graduation.
Three years ago, North Muskegon High was the first in Muskegon County to implement what educators call "one-to-one initiatives." There, each student received small laptops known as netbooks.
"I see students in our hallways with a netbook slung over their shoulder in a protective case rather than a backpack packed with six textbooks," said North Muskegon Public Schools Superintendent Curt Babcock. "Textbooks at North Muskegon are gradually fading away."
Other students benefiting from one-to-one initiatives are
kindergartners in Fruitport, fifth- and sixth-graders at Whitehall and middle
and high school students at Muskegon Catholic Central.
Ravenna Public Schools has the most comprehensive one-to-one initiative, with all fourth- through 12th-graders having either a school-issued iPad or laptop to use. Fourth- through sixth-graders can't take their devices home but the older students can.
It is the smaller districts that have been more successful in starting one-to-one initiatives, which require extensive training of staff and oversight. Money obviously can be a barrier to such a program -- leading some schools to implement what they call "bring your own device" policies.
Districts that have implemented the initiatives know there is no turning back. And they all have plans to expand their programs, especially if Muskegon County voters on Feb. 25 approve a 1-mill tax increase that could be used for technology.
"That's where today's world is, period," said Holton Board of Education President Amy Brookhouse. "Everything we do revolves around computers -- the data they provide, knowing how to maneuver around them, the research, the information -- you have to provide that informational tool to the students. And the sooner, the better."
Kindergarten iPads
It is the youngest students in Fruitport who are benefiting from having their own devices. Each student in Jessica VanderLaan's kindergarten class at Beach Elementary School has his or her own iPad.
VanderLaan, who is in her 10th year of teaching, said the iPads have had the biggest impact on reading and writing. And, she said, the students thrive on the feedback the iPad applications provide.
"They're always getting positive reinforcement on how they are doing -- and it's not always just coming from me," VanderLaan said.
The iPads help students move through lessons at their own pace, and they often will turn to each other for help.
"I've actually given up more of my control," VanderLaan said. "I have to give a lot of that back to the kids."
During writing lessons, students have the choice of using their iPad or paper and crayon. VanderLaan said about 60 percent typically choose the iPad, with some using the device one day and paper and crayons the next.
An iBooks application helps the youngsters become published authors. And audio recording on the device helps the kindergartners, for whom writing is a challenge, become oral story-tellers, she said.
As long as parents approve, the young students are allowed to bring the iPads home with them. VanderLaan said about 60 percent do.
"Their favorite thing to do is take pictures," VanderLaan said. "They love to take a screen shot of their work and share with others. They say 'Look what I did!'"
High school netbooks
On the other end of the K-12 spectrum, North Muskegon High School English teacher Toni Seyferth sees similar benefits from the netbooks her students have been issued.
"Just having the opportunity for a student to type a paper on Word is fabulous," Seyferth said. "We create PowerPoints and use Publisher on a regular basis."
Seyferth has a Wikispace where she posts assignments and can provide classroom conversation and feedback. She uses Eli Review to help with rewrites and revisions and Quizlet for vocabulary study.
"Students can access these easily from home, finding key information regarding curriculum and weekly agendas," Seyferth said.
Aside from helping with the actual English instruction, the netbooks teach students how technology can enrich their lives, she said.
"Learning responsible technology skills which strengthen a student's growth academically is a bonus," she said. "We still need the human element to keep a community vital, but to disregard technology would be doing our future leaders a disservice."
Babcock said the North Muskegon district has software in place that helps monitor student use of the netbooks. Teachers can lock netbooks, or force an entire class to go to a particular site. When students sign on, they always must do so through the North Muskegon Public Schools server.
"We have very, very good security on the computers," Babcock said. "It's like any other management issue. It's just classroom management of 2010 and on, I guess."
Bring your own
Younger students at North Muskegon benefit from carts of laptops that teachers bring into the classroom -- an arrangement used by most schools. But Babcock said he can see how in the future, the school will implement a "bring your own device" policy that is "becoming a very common theme."
The "BYOD" policy saves a district money, and allows students to use the device -- such as a smart phone, tablet or laptop -- they are familiar with. West Michigan Academy for Arts & Academics in Ferrysburg has a BYOD policy for fifth- through eighth-graders. Last summer, the charter school completed a significant upgrade of its technologic infrastructure to prepare for the policy that was implemented Oct. 1.
"What the kids are bringing in they're comfortable with," said WMAAA Director Travis Thomsen. "They don't need a lot of assistance to navigate it."
While expensive, school-provided one-to-one initiatives provide a "consistency" that can provide smoother classroom instructional environment, said Randy Lindquist, associate superintendent of academic services for the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District.
"The pitfall is you don't know what's walking in the door in terms of what devices the students have," Lindquist said. "I don't know if teachers are prepared to troubleshoot all the stuff that is going into the classroom."
Mona Shores officials believe that BYOD along with one-to-one initiatives are "the next big step" for the district, said Lane White, the district's technology director. To get ready, each high school staff member is getting 25 hours of training through a state-funded pilot program, White said.
"I'm a strong believer in making sure the teacher is ready for this new environment before every student has a device," White said.
Whitehall has an "integrated technology" teacher to provide support during an ongoing rollout of its one-to-one initiative, said Whitehall District Schools Superintendent Jerry McDowell. Fifth- and sixth-graders who received Chromebooks this year will keep them for three years. Next year's fifth-, eighth- and ninth-graders also will get the devices for three years.
Yet to be resolved is how some districts can afford to get one-to-one initiatives started, and others can sustain them. Officials say the 10-year millage would go a long way in making sure districts have an ongoing source of funding.
"There's still a place for pen, paper and book," said Brookhouse, Holton's school board president. "But it has to go hand in hand with technology. You cannot ignore it any longer."

Voice: Anne Wohlfeil, Flint
There is a kiosk or cart at Genesee Valley mall for a business that makes customized items. One side displays a variety of items that have Flint on them. The one that says, "I 'heart' Flint" caught my eye first. The 'heart' has been stabbed with a switchblade and blood is pouring out.
I asked my friend what she thought it meant. She said, "Flint's heart is bleeding? Because we are in such sad shape?"
I disagreed with her. I think Flint's heart has been stabbed – as in everything stinks here; let's just stab some more, because it's cool.
Then we looked at the other items for sale. One graphic shows Flint spelled with a revolver for the L. One shows Flint spelled with the middle finger salute for the I. Another shows a set of brass knuckles. One of the T-shirts shows a skull with surrounding design looking like a tattoo and underneath it says Grave Diggers Unite, but the type used is that Fraktur style where it is hard to tell what the capital letter represents, so Diggers looks like the N-word.
I think these types of items should be in a store, not out in the mall displayed at eye level for 4-year-olds. I also hope these editorial style depictions of Flint should not be something anyone would want to display on their body or vehicles. We want to improve life in Flint and project a positive image, not advertise our high crime rate and nasty attitude.

More on Sheffield
Lots of cheers for the returning Tigers on Wednesday, but Sheffield was the primary story and a very good interview. As I wrote in my story for the site, he's an outspoken personality. But I don't think he's going to be a distraction for the Tigers. If anything, I think he can benefit this club because he knows how to deal with attention.
I couldn't get all of Sheffield's quotes from the caravan stops in the stories, but here are a few others:
On leadership: "I don't see myself as a leader yet, because I haven't gotten in the locker room and gotten to know the personalities. One thing people have to realize is when I come into a locker room, I don't ask for any of this [role]. Guys gravitate to me because I'm open. You can approach me. I don't put myself on a celebrity status where I go dress over here and everybody else dresses over there. I do everything with the guys. I play jokes with guys. A lot of writers might not see it, but I'm just like one of [the other players]. I think that's where my leadership comes from."
On watching the Tigers from afar: "Obviously everybody in the league knew they had a great pitching staff and they were becoming a great team. And as the season went on, they became that great team. Now, going forward, it's pretty much the same team with the addition of myself. Hopefully I can just add to the pieces."
On his goals as a home-run hitter: "My goal is always in the 30s. I know that I can reach 40 home runs, somewhere in that range, but I'm always consistent in the area of the 30s. If I can do that, I've done my job, but the main thing here for us is to win championships."
On his book: "It's an inspirational book. I looked at a lot of guys' books, and a lot of it is all about baseball and what their experiences were when they were in a 3-2 situation, things like that. I think my book is more along the lines of when you're going through certain situations, what is your mindset and how you get out of it. It's inspirational to younger people."
It must be winter caravan time …
when you're hitting the road thinking about jersey numbers that go with the temperature readings outside, and the jersey numbers are either infielders or catchers. It's either Lance Parrish or Vance Wilson cold as I leave home this morning. But at least you're thinking baseball. Off we go.

My latest experience while travelling promotes the buyer beware policy. First off, I must point out that security people at airports are not the employees of any airline.
A few months ago, I was travelling to see my family in London, Ont. It was winter; I wore my "best" winter coat. At the Halifax airport security counter, I was told to place my coat in a tray, and my purse and carry-on luggage in another tray. Once inside the departure section, I noticed a large hole in the front of my good coat.
I returned to security and showed them the coat. I was told a bureaucrat changed the depth of the trays and that was causing problems for many travellers. They took pictures of the coat, completed a form, and advised me that I would be contacted. They did not protest my belief that their machine caused the damage to the coat. If anything, they reinforced my belief.
After countless phone calls to and from, the security company's final decision was to refuse my claim, noting that the incident never occurred. They even sent an employee from Halifax to meet with me to try to get me to believe that the incident never happened.
The employee showed me a video that looked as if it was taken in semi-darkness. He refused to give me a copy of this so-called evidence, nor would he enhance the images. He did inform me that surveillance camera material is not kept. Why is it taken if it is not going to be kept for at least a reasonable period of time?
I was not advised of the appeal process. I was told verbally and in writing that my claim was closed and that the incident never happened. In essence, I must have fabricated the issue. The local political representative told me that he did not want to get involved in such a matter, but advised me to appeal. Another disappointment.
I protest such an attack on my credibility and my integrity. The lesson learned is that one has to be vigilant even before boarding an airplane. To add insult to injury, we have to pay an airport security fee on all airline travel.
Again, I say: travellers beware. These security companies are not out to provide a service or to care about passengers; they are out to inconvenience passengers and to attack passengers who submit any kind of a negative claim.
I recommend that someone advise them that they are there to provide a service. They should be advised that if they fail too often in providing such a service, they will find themselves unemployed.

I was looking forward to the CLR this year and checked the site to see if a date had been set and the whole run has been called off. I completely understand and many thanks goes to the organizers for putting it on over the years. Should we coordinate our own? Thoughts?
From http://www.christmaslightrun.com/:
Thank you throughout the years for your participation in the Christmas Light Run. Unfortunately, we are unable to continue the run due to its enormous growth the past few years. Last year we had over 500 people and realized that we cannot continue this run safely without a permit from DC and the National Park Service (yes, we have been doing this without a permit!). After researching the permit process and rules, we realized that getting a permit for this type of run at night in DC is not feasible.
However, we do encourage you to get a *small* group of people together this holiday season and have your own Christmas Light Run to continue the tradition of viewing the lights downtown and caroling. I can not think of anything better than to have several runs, not just one, through the city singing Christmas carols and decked out in the holiday gear. It is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Maybe I will see you out there one night!
We wish you a happy holiday and thanks again for all the great memories!!
Best wishes,
Jerry Ricciardi and Kevin Gormley
BOO HOO! What am I going to do with a pair of elf stockings???
----After researching the permit process and rules, we realized that getting a permit for this type of run at night in DC is not feasible.--
This sucks that our city and Ntl. Park Service does not support athletic events and makes it very difficult to have sanctioned races. But, yeah for DC being leaders in Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease, and illiteracy! We're #1!
I sent this email to Pacers. Good idea? Do some in the club work at Pacers, maybe make the same suggestion?
"Hello. I'm a long-time member of Potomac Runners and the DC Triathlon Club. The popular Christmas Light Run in DC this year has been canceled (http://www.christmaslightrun.com). I was wondering if Pacers might be interested in putting on a similar event, perhaps at its different stores. I think it would be great for Pacers' business, and for the runners, and the holiday season, to put on such an event."
I loved the CLR and was a bit surprised, but understanding as the reason for canceling it. Jerry and Kevin did a great job organizing it since it's inaugural year. Many thanks to those two!
I'm so sad....I loved the CLR!! Jerry, thanks for putting it on....it was always so much fun! Ed, good idea to reach out to Pacers....it would be great if they organize a similar event.
I loved the CLR too (and last year I apparently really loved tater tots) and am also sad I may not have occasion to wear my elf socks next month (happy hour?).
I'll be out of town this Dec, but would surely like to support establishment of a new holiday run tradition!
I had planned on using this as my birthday celebration, and will be getting a bunch of friends together to do our own "bandit" bandit run (if there's such a thing....)
So stay tuned!
Why not just limit the number of entries?
Great just what we need another race with a limit in place.
But I do like how the organizer has told everyone to read between the lines. I hope you all picked up on that
DC Capital Striders have already taken note of this and are doing their own. It will be less formal I think, but there will be runners taking to the streets, serenading of Christmas carols and drinking at Black Finn afterwards. I don't know exact details or even a date yet, but I will post here when I find out details. You can also watch the website: http://www.meetup.com/dccapitalstriders/

Tinsel Korey ( Emily ) and co-star Chaske Spencer, who plays Sam, were in Philadelphia to promote the DVD release of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1."
Here are some interviews highlights:
Weirdest fan request: To howl. And no, they don't, often suggesting a younger cast member will, though.
The franchise's appeal: "We have fans all the way from 6 to 66 and what I think it is, is it brings you back to that first time of falling in love. Those emotions are extremely heightened, and I think that holds a really dear memory for a lot of people and I think that's why it's resonated with such a wide audience," the actress said.
His co-star, however, quipped, "I think it also has a lot to do with Taylor's abs and Rob's hair."
The final film: Neither has seen it. "I think they're still in post-production at the moment. I don't think they even have a soundtrack," Korey said.
Staying in shape: As Sam, Spencer has to appear shirtless in many scenes, alongside Taylor Lautner, no less.
"It meant a lot of hard work, it actually kind of sucked. It meant hitting the gym hard, watching what I ate, a pretty good strict diet," and mustering the discipline to do it and maintain it.
"It's very hard to do. Some people are born with it, some people use other substances to enhance, but when you have to do it naturally, it sucks." And when shooting was over, he treated himself to Johnny Rocket milk shakes — "all of them, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, Oreo."
When they knew "Twilight" was a sensation: It came for Korey in a bookstore when she turned around and saw the face of Bronson Pelletier who plays Jared, a member of the wolf pack."I looked and it was all this wolf pack merchandise, and it was so surreal because I know them and I know we're in a movie but seeing that merchandise for it, this is just a completely different level than I thought."
Spencer, on the other hand, recalls, "During 'New Moon,' they were shuttling us to the gym, and I think we were on our way back from the gym and there were these girls camped out in our hotel lobby, they wanted to meet us. And they stayed there for a week straight. The hotel staff had to kick them out."
What would surprise Taylor Lautner's fans: "He's a really big goofball, I think that would be the main thing," says Korey, while Spencer said the actor who plays Jacob Black takes his work seriously.
Killing time between takes: "We'd just sit around the sit, throw the football around and basically hang out in the warming tents," Spencer said. His co-star, on the other hand, said, "I just try to find a zen place because I'm surrounded by so much testosterone all the time, just try to sort of meditate and zone out and then there are occasional times when I like to play pranks. When I get bored I get a little bit mischievous."
Portrayals of Native Americans: It depends on the project and how culturally accurate it tries to be, sometimes with the help of advisers."It would be nice to see more contemporary work that you see in films like 'Twilight.' That's something that probably Chaske and I struggle with, making people's minds open up to casting us as lawyers or everyday people in everyday shows," Korey said.
"What 'Twilight' has done, it's exposed Native Americans in a different light to a whole new different generation," uncorrupted by mainstream media and Hollywood with stereotypes," added Spencer.
What "Twilight" has meant for their careers: "It's definitely opened a lot of doors for both of us. We also have other projects that have come out of 'Twilight' but we both were working before 'Twilight,' ." Spencer said. Korey says it allowed previous projects to share the "Twilight" limelight (which is considerable, to say the least).
Netflix or other picks of their work: Korey singles out "The Lookout" (excellent choice!) with Joseph Gordon-Levitt along with the TV miniseries "Into the West" while Spencer suggests the feature "Skins."

Alabama and Auburn will meet in the Capital City Classic at 7 tonight in Montgomery's Riverwalk Stadium to make up a game that was rained out on March 9.
Tonight's meeting will not count toward the SEC standings, serving as a prelude to the April 2-4 conference series in Tuscaloosa.
"Any time you have an opportunity to play Auburn, it's exciting, not only for our team but for our fan base as well," Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard said. "Montgomery does such a great job putting that game on, it's a fun game for us. Hey, any time you've got a chance to play good competition, you've got an opportunity to get better."
Both teams arrive tonight on a roll, as the Crimson Tide (16-2) won two of three last weekend against a ranked Vanderbilt club. An early run that tied the 1997 College World Series runner-up team for the best start in program history also allowed Alabama to crack Baseball America's Top 25 this week at No. 20.
Meanwhile, Auburn pounded Georgia, sweeping the Bulldogs by a combined score of 43-9. The Tigers were led by junior slugger Hunter Morris, who finished the weekend 10-for-16 with 14 RBIs, a double and four home runs.
"A huge way for us to start the conference season," Morris said.
Auburn, which is 15-5 after beating Samford 10-3 on Tuesday, has not announced a starting pitcher for tonight. The Tigers are expected to throw Slade Smith (1-0, 0.00 ERA), and the Crimson Tide will counter with junior Jonathan Smart (1-0, 4.82).
"Everybody is energized and ready to play," Alabama shortstop Josh Rutledge said. "It's always a big game. There's going to be lots of fans there. It's going to be fun for both teams."

AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn has sold out of its season-ticket allotment while also setting a new school record in the process.
Auburn has sold 62,900 season tickets, which is a school record, according to an Auburn official. Auburn has also completely sold out three SEC games -- LSU, Texas A&M and South Carolina.
Auburn has not sold out its season-ticket allotment since 2011, the season following the Tigers' BCS National Championship.
Auburn has 200 tickets remaining for its season opener against Arkansas. The remaining tickets are available only through a mini-pack option, which includes a ticket to the opener and two non-conference games for $120. A separate mini-pack providing a ticket to the Arkansas game and one non-conference game is priced at $100.
Auburn's season ticket total is a record because of the unique schedule this season at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers will not host Alabama or Georgia for the first time in school history. Those games required 10,000-ticket allotments for the visitors. LSU will have the highest ticket allotment this season at 7,000.
Auburn's season ticket sales include 3,500 non-renewable Eagles' Nest tickets, which were made available due to the departure of Georgia and Alabama from the home schedule.
Single-game tickets for games against San Jose State, Louisiana Tech and Samford are still available.

Perhaps Utah Sen. Mike Lee should have checked with state officials before declaring that federal disaster aid should be eliminated.
Two weeks ago he opined that disaster relief should be a state responsibility. Even in a disaster as massive as Hurricane Katrina and the levee breaches, the state should ideally be able to take care of things, he said.
"States will prepare differently if they understand that it's their responsibility rather than that of the federal government," he said.
Perhaps, although there's no way that a state could deal with the devastation wrought by the failure of the Army Corps of Engineers floodwalls during Katrina.
Funnily enough, Sen. Lee's own state is at this moment seeking assistance from FEMA for damage caused by flooding in December. Utah Gov. Gary Herbert asked President Barack Obama to declare the flooding in two counties as a major disaster, which would trigger the federal disaster aid.
Utah officials estimate that $6 million in damage was done to roads, utility systems, parks and trails. That is a fairly modest amount, but no doubt important to those counties.
Sen. Lee was unfazed. The flood money has to do with the way the government is set up now, and his views are about how government should be set up.
Alrighty, then. But the reality is that major disasters by their very nature put a strain on local and state governments, and FEMA aid is essential to a battered community's recovery.

Thirty kilometres west of Beaufort, and served by regular minivans from the centre of town, the Klias Peninsula is an area of flat marshland that's popular with KK-based tour operators for proboscis monkey or firefly tours.
The most westerly settlement on the Klias Peninsula, tiny MENUMBOK has no accommodation. It's notable only for the jetty that links it to Labuan; a couple of cafés here may be useful when waiting for a boat.
Around an hour northeast of Beaufort, or 45 minutes from Menumbok, at the northern point of the peninsula, KUALA PENYU is the departure point for Pulau Tiga National Park. It's a simple grid of streets with little more than a few stores, filled with basic supplies, and a couple of kedai kopis.

Our Lady of the Lake in Mandeville is considering a new plan to reconstruct and expand its church at its current site. While plans have yet to be finalized and submitted to the city, Mandeville and church officials said the concept is to virtually tear down the existing church and rebuild it on the same site, while salvaging elements of the original structure.
Father Mark Lomax, OLL's pastor, said the notion to enlarge and modify its existing church is not feasible because the building has foundation problems. As a result, he said a more substantial reconstruction project is being considered.
A plan presented four years ago by OLL's former pastor to build a new church on another lot created a storm of controversy in the Old Mandeville community. Lomax said he is working with the city, the community and architects on the new reconstruction project. "We want their advice," he said.
The existing church, built in the early 1950s and dedicated in 1953, has foundation problems that date back years. The building was constructed without pilings, causing the sacristy area to sink. It was jacked up a number of years ago and S-pilings were installed, but the foundation issue makes the original plan to back up the wall behind the altar impractical, officials said.
OLL is now studying a plan to reconstruct the church at its current location on the corner of Lafitte and Jefferson streets two blocks from Lake Pontchartrain.
The new church would look somewhat like the existing one, but would be slightly elevated and would have more seating, the pastor said.
The building's stain-glass windows, carvings and other elements would be incorporated into the reconstructed church, Lomax said.
The city and OLL became embroiled in a long legal battle over a plan announced in 2010 to build a new, completely redesigned church across Lafitte Street from the existing house of worship.
Opponents feared the new church with its Gothic Revival architectural style would not fit in with the surrounding buildings and would create drainage, traffic and parking problems in the historic lakefront community. Supporters argued the existing 465-seat church couldn't accommodate its large congregation. OLL now uses a multipurpose building on its campus that houses a gymnasium to conduct some of its more heavily attended Masses.
In the fall of 2011, the city's Zoning Board denied OLL's request for a special permit to build the new church, saying it failed to meet minimum parking requirements. OLL appealed, but a state court judge rendered a decision in favor of the city in 2012.
The church then took the matter to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal, which in February of this year upheld the lower court's ruling. Lomax, who became pastor in July of 2013, said earlier this year the church would not pursue further legal action and said OLL would instead look into enlarging the church at its current site.
Mandeville City Councilman Ernest Burguieres, whose district includes OLL and who was opposed to the plan that ended up in court, said he met with Lomax to go over the revised plans. While he is withholding judgment on the concept, Burguieres credited Lomax with being sensitive to the concerns of the city and the community.
Old Mandeville resident David Pons said he favored the earlier plan to knock out the wall behind the church's altar and expand it in that direction. He said a major reconstruction of the church could make for a drastic change in the community.
"It could be that by end of the day, all that will be left of the old church will be the address," Pons said.

Archbishop Dolan visits Arthur Kill Correctional Facility
Some 75 inmates packed the room, and according to one, perhaps 15 others were turned away.
According to the medium-security state facility's Superintendent, Dennis Breslin, those who faithfully attend mass were the primary target audience.
Those who made the cut spoke of the Archbishop and finding God in reverential tones.
Former Manhattan resident Pedro Robles, who's been incarcerated for 13 years on a conviction of murder, said he attends mass "all the time." He said formal services are held Sunday and Tuesday; a Bible study class meets on Monday and "a special movie is screened on Wednesday."
Paul Vittoriosa of Huguenot, in year two of a five-year sentence on a burglary conviction, called the day "special."
"He takes time out of his day to come to us," he explained.
Inmate Kevin White who sang a song to the Archbishop titled "Beacon of Light," in which he told Dolan "Every time I pray, I think of you," said, "I was in awe." He called the experience of standing and singing before the leader of the Catholic church in this region of New York "extremely motivating and spiritual."
Inmate Mark Teson began the proceedings with a reading about lepers from the Second Book of Kings. Fellow inmate Louis Gelsiomino, who has discovered a love of singing since his incarceration several years ago, performed "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?"
For his part, Dolan described the inmates as "an inspiration" to him. "A lot of people come see me. You couldn't do that, so I came here." He reminded those gathered that "two prisoners were with Jesus on the cross. He turned to one of them and said, 'This day, you'll be with me in Paradise.' "
The Archbishop noted that the verses read by Teson about lepers are particularly apt for prison inmates because years ago, when the contagious disease was much more common, lepers were banished to deserted places, much as inmates are shut off from society.
"Jesus likes it when we admit we have problems and are sinners," he said, noting that "all of us are sinners. We need mercy and healing that only Jesus can give."
Dolan related a story of Archbishop Fulton Sheen visiting a leper colony in Africa decades ago and taking with him a cross blessed in Rome. As he passed among the stricken, he came across a man whose hand was little more than pulp and he recoiled, said Dolan. Sheen immediately realized that "he was a leper for turning away. He took the man's hand in his, saying 'I am honored and grateful to be in your presence.' "
He then told those gathered, "Know that you are with me in a special way."
Joining Dolan were Rev. Frank Naccarato, the pastor at Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, who said Dolan's presence "is a sign of the church's care and concern for those in prison." Rev. Naccarato told Dolan that attendance at Sunday mass in the prison has increased 50 percent over the last six months.
Also in attendance were co-vicars of Staten Island — Monsignor Peter Finn, pastor of Blessed Sacrament R.C. Church, West Brighton, and Monsignor James Dorney, pastor of St. Peter's R.C. Church, New Brighton. Monsignor John McCarthy of St. Patrick's R.C. Church also attended.
At the conclusion of the mass, Dolan was showered with gifts — first, from Breslin, who bestowed him with two New York Mets caps — one for the Archbishop, another for his mother — with the admonition that "You gotta believe."
Breslin also thanked Dolan for his time. "You don't understand how important it is for the inmates to get visitors in general. When people take time out of a busy schedule, it makes us feel valuable. We can feel invisible," he admitted.
Inmates then came forward bearing bags of Twizzlers (Dolan expressed delight that they were no-fat), a baseball cap emblazoned with the logo of the prison team and a hand-drawn portrait of the Archbishop, crafted and presented by inmate Bernard Ragan. After taking a good look, Dolan thanked Ragan "for doing it from the stomach up."
The presence of Father Cruz, who accompanied Dolan on the visit, was noted, and Ken Hoffworth, director of the prison apostolate for New York, was also acknowledged for his support.
At the conclusion of the mass, Dolan spent time conversing with the inmates in attendance, before paying a visit to the infirmary.

Ex-Page's Lawyer: Drudge's "Prank" Story "A Piece of Fiction"
Justin Rood / Muckraker | October 6 2006
Earlier today, the Drudge Report published a story claiming that one batch of lewd IM transcripts published by ABC News were the result of a "prank" by a former House page. The former page, Drudge said, "goaded Foley to type embarrassing comments," which he shared with friends.
The story did not quote the young man, or say whether any attempt had been made to contact him or his lawyer.
Now, the lawyer for the former page in question, 21-year-old Jordan Edmund, says the Drudge Report article is false. Calling the story "a piece of fiction," Stephen Jones told the Daily Oklahoman that "there is not any aspect of this matter that is a practical joke nor should anyone treat it that way."
This afternoon, ABC News published news of three more former pages who had sexual online conversations with Foley similar to Edmund's.
