Central Dauphin has spent the girls' basketball season looking up at other teams in the Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division standings.
The Rams have played well, but after they opened divisional play with a 52-51 overtime loss at State College on Dec. 11, they have been unable to surge into first.
Exactly one month after that loss to the Little Lions, the Rams showed that they will still have to be reckoned with in the Commonwealth.
Central Dauphin defeated State College 57-45 on Friday night behind 28 points by Precious Martin.
The Rams (9-3, 6-2) did look like they were in for a tough night when they were down 26-19 with two minutes left in the second quarter. But Central Dauphin took advantage of State College's Kyla Irwin sitting on the bench with two fouls to make a 9-0 run.
"We started to play with tenacity on defense," Central Dauphin head coach Karen Hicks said. "Then we were working the plays on the offensive end. We had more discipline and patience."
Martin scored six points in that run, including a layup with 26 seconds left in the period for a 28-26 halftime lead.
State College (9-5, 5-3) opened the third quarter with a 3-point basket by Jenna Altomare to go back up 29-28, but after Shatara Parsons answered with a layup for the Rams, the Little Lions never led again.
Martin hit back-to-back buckets midway through the third quarter to get 20 points in the first 20 minutes of the game.
"At the beginning of the game, we were coming off of a loss to them, so we were playing with a lot of emotion," Martin said. "We had to stay focused, remember what we were playing for and play our game."

On the next possession, Martin turned down an open shot from the free throw line to set up Parsons for a layup and a 40-31 lead.
Irwin, who led State College with 18 points and 12 rebounds, had a basket and free throw for the Little Lions next. But that was the last time they were within six points.
The Little Lions have played five games in eight days, losing the last four.
"December was a good month for us, January is a test for us," State College head coach Beth Irwin said. "February is what makes the test worth it."
The fouth quarter was a little choppy with several fouls and turnovers by both sides. Central Dauphin finished with 24 giveaways, while State College had 23.
"We sometimes rely on our athleticism too much," Hicks said. "Because we are so athletic, but that's when we get into trouble."
Parsons led the Rams with 13 rebounds, to go along with her 12 points.
All 22 of Central Dauphin's field goals were 2-point buckets. Beth Irwin said the strategy was to force the Rams to shoot farther away from the basket, but it only worked in the first quarter.
"They're big, and they're tall, and we don't have that," Irwin said.
State College had six treys, led by three from Franki Treglia. Her only other field goal was from just inside the 3-point arc. Treglia finished with 11 points.
Defensively, though, the Rams were more concerned with Altomare's outside shooting. She had scored 27 points in State College's win in December, including four treys.
"We played her man-to-man this time and didn't let her get as open," Hicks said.
Altomare finished with eight points and two 3-pointers.
Jayneisha Davis added 10 points for Central Dauphin.

Richelle Mead celebrates release of 'Blood Promise' at Redmond Borders Aug. 25
Richelle Mead, author of the young adult-oriented "Vampire Academy" series, will promote her new book, "Blood Promise" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25 at Borders Books and Music at Redmond Town Center.
She will read an excerpt from the book, answer questions, pose for fan photos and sign copies of the book. Raffles and giveaways will also be included.
Originally from Michigan, Mead now lives in Seattle and works full-time on her urban fantasy books. A former middle school teacher, she believes that the fascination with books/movies about the supernatural is partly due to the fact that "teens have opened up to fantasy as 'The Harry Potter Generation.'"
Anne Rice's vampire books from the early '90s were also a help in making this genre popular with older readers, but "vampires go back to Bram Stoker's times," Mead noted. "We are attracted to the dark and forbidden but vampires also have a human edge. It's hard to fall in love with someone who's a total monster."
The "Vampire Academy" series, published by Razorbill Books (Penguin), thus far contains "Vampire Academy," "Frostbite" and "Shadow Kiss." The best-selling series has won honors from the American Library Association and follows the war between two races of vampires — one good and one bad.
The heroine in the series, Mead explained, is a half-vampire girl who is training to be a bodyguard for the good vampires and has a romance with an instructor who is a little older.
"There's action-suspense but also the romantic element is what teen girls love," she said.
The biggest change in "Blood Promise" is that it does not take place at the school known as the "Vampire Academy." The heroine is out in the world, traveling in Russia "and has been given a grim task ahead of her. Book three ended with a big cliffhanger," Mead noted.

Dundrum House, Built in the early eighteenth century, was the centre of a fine estate once owned by a famous Irish Family; the O'Dwyers of Kilnamanagh. During the terrible period of Cromwellian occupation and confiscation of Ireland in the seventeenth century, Phillip O'Dwyer was the proprietor of the estate at Dundrum; he captured Cashel with his followers in 1641.
This attack on Cashel opened up a campaign in Munster and after a number of battles Phillip O'Dwyer of Dundrum House was sentenced to death. He cheated the gallows however, by dying before the completion of the Cromwellian conquest. The O'Dwyer estate was confiscated and Robert Maude Esq. was given all of Phillip's land including the O'Dwyer Manor and Castle of Dundrum.
The Maude family was of Norman origin and they had conquered Flinstone for William the Conqueror in 1066. The Maude family at Dundrum rose to great eminence, attending to the rank of Viscounts Hawarden and Earls of Montalt in the peerage of the United Kingdom. The family has produced many distinguished soldiers including the famous general Maude, who fought a series of brilliant campaigns in the First World War.
In 1730 the Maude family built Dundrum House with 2400 acres. In 1844 the house was described as a capacious structure standing in the centre of one of the most expensive wooded parks in the country. In 1909, when Dundrum House demesne was put on the open market they were acquired by a religious order, who later established a Domestic Science College. Up to recently the building was used as a noviciate and a retreat house.
Having been acquired by Austin and Mary Crowe in 1978 with extensive renovation and restoration, Dundrum House was opened as a hotel in 1981. Today the entire team welcomes you in to relax in spacious elegant rooms and view the tree studied grounds, which have changed little in 250 years.

Chronicler and poet, b. 1426, at the Chateau de la Marche, in Franche-Comté; d. at Brussels, 1501. He was knighted by Count de Charolais, later Charles the Bold (1465). Two years later Count de Charolais became ruler of Bergundy and Flanders, and made Oliver bailiff of Among (now a department of the Haute-Sane) and captain of his guards. Taken prisoner at the battle of Nancy, where the duke lost his life (1477), he regained his liberty by paying a ransom, and rejoined Marie, daughter of Duke Charles and heiress of Burgundy, who made him her maitre d'hôtel .
As a writer he is best known by his "Memoirs", which cover the years from 1435-92, first printed at Lyons in 1562. Another edition, by Beaued and d'Arbaumont, was made for the Société de l'Histoire de France (1883-88). The work is singular and important for a knowledge of the period. The author is sincere, but his style contains many Wallonne expressions and, as in his other writings, he introduces too many descriptions of fêtes and tournaments. Most of his works are in verse. Among those are: "Le Chevalier Délibéré", a poem which some think is his own biography, others that it is an allegorical life of Charles the Bold; "Le Parement et la Triomphe des Dames d'Honneur', a work in prose and verse, of which each of the twenty-six chapters is named from some articles of ladies' attire; and "La Source d'Honneur pour maintenir la corporelle élégance des Dames". Among his prose works are: "Traité et Avis de quelques gentilhommes sur les duels et gages de bataille", and "Traité de la Manière de célébrer la noble fête de la Toison d'or".
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

October 3, 1996
Commissioners' Conference Room - 5:15 p.m.
Members Verna Brown, Lauren Chouinard, Greg Evans (arrived at 5:45 p.m.), Bob Moulton and Ken Tollenaar were present for the meeting, attended by staff, including Bill Van Vactor, County Administrator; Teresa Wilson, County Counsel; David Suchart, Human Resources and Management Services Director; and Sharon Giles, Recording Secretary.
Van Vactor reviewed plans to discuss the salary schedule and the PERS reimbursement issue with regard to the commissioners, along with action with regard to the potential for any salary increases for other elected officials. He explained the process of the Elected Official Compensation Board. Van Vactor indicated this groups recommendation would go to the Lane County Budget Committee on October 15 and then on to the Board of Commissioners for final action in late October.
Suchart reviewed the county commissioner compensation survey included in the packet (see material on file). He indicated that after looking at the survey, staff reviewed the point factor information for department directors as another methodology to see how close the figures factored out. Suchart reviewed the chart with salary history information. He indicated that all of this information was the basis for staffs recommendation.
Responding to Tollenaar, Suchart indicated that he did not have the completed product of the factor analysis done on commissioners. Van Vactor observed that the ultimate responsibility for all county programs rests with the Board of Commissioners.
Teresa Wilson, County Counsel, briefly reviewed her memorandum regarding the PERS issue (see material on file), summarizing that commissioners did not receive the benefit of the salary increase granted to employees to offset the effects of the PERS ballot measure. She stressed that the Supreme Court has ruled the ballot measure unconstitutional. Responding to Brown, Wilson indicated there is the potential for a lawsuit if the back payment is not granted.
Tollenaar remarked that he prefers to look at the PERS issue as reimbursement rather than compensation; adding that if it is looked at as reimbursement, he doesnt see any reason why it shouldnt be approved for Jack Roberts or anyone else who has had to make the 6% contribution from their own pockets. After a brief discussion with Wilson, Tollenaar conceded that while utilizing "reimbursement" might attract a challenge via the charter, other risks are avoided by treating the matter as "compensation."
Tollenaar indicated that his methodology would begin by coming to agreement on a base salary. He noted that after excluding Washington County figures from the survey, he took the average of Douglas, Clackamas, Multnomah, Marion and Jackson and arrived at a target number of $52,380.
Browns comments included: 1) the need for solid rationale; 2) the expectation that the recommendation is doable and acceptable to the Budget Committee; 3) that compensation is commensurate with responsibility; 4) that the recommendation is one that the public will understand; and 5) that commissioners need to feel fairly treated. She noted that the recommendation of a 26.5% increase amounts to$11,132. With regard to the comparison with other counties, Brown observed the division of responsibility that varies in counties with three commissioners versus five commissioners. She also indicated that she would like to know the assessed property tax value of each county, commenting that it would be hard to compare the counties if assessed values were tremendously different. Brown summarized that, after analysis, she had determined that the counties were more different than they were alike.
Evans arrived at 5:45 p.m.
Brown continued that by comparing commissioner and employee increases from 1985 to 1995, there is a difference of 14.39%, which if given to the commissioners would increase their salary to $48,038. She expressed concern about not doing increases for many years and then a huge chunk at one time. Brown offered that one way of alleviating this would be by increasing commissioners salaries at the same CPI as employees receive. She summarized that she would be comfortable recommending either a 12% or 14% increase with one half of the increase effective in 1997 and the other half effective in 1998. In addition, Brown recommended that the commissioners salaries also be increased by the same CPI granted for employees in 1997 and 1998.
Moulton questioned the rationale of using assessed value, since Lane County is an O&C county and some are not, or do not get as much. He also indicated that the size of each countys budget is a factor, along with the urban/rural nature of Lane County which provides more responsibility. Moulton stressed that Lane County is unique in other areas of responsibility, but he indicated that he likes Browns approach with reference to getting on a pattern of increases related to CPI. Brown replied that there is not enough criteria provided to pull a rationale from using county comparisons.
Evans agreed that comparisons are hard to make with other counties as Lane County is fairly unique with a lot of rural issues unlike Multnomah and others, adding that Lane County doesnt fit a particular profile. He also agreed that he likes using the CPI for judgment/determination. Noting that using the 14% figure would raise the salary to $48,000, Evans indicated that he didnt feel comfortable with just 14%, stressing the need to compensate public officials in a manner that makes it attractive for people to serve in the office and is commensurate with responsibilities.
Chouinard suggested adding in the 6% PERS-related compensation first, then figuring any salary increase, noting that methodology doesnt make it look like such a large increase. It was determined that adding the 6% would bring the figure to $44,514. Chouinard also stressed his belief that the County should return to employer-paid pick-up, which could save the County thousands of dollars per year, while increasing employee income. Van Vactor remarked that that would be a complex process due to the seven bargaining units. Tollenaar agreed with Chouinard noting that it would be a "win-win" for everyone. He recommended that the County work as fast as possible to clear this with the unions and go back to County pick-up. Suchart added that there are also problems with the Countys comp plan. Moulton remarked that employees are on a seven-step range, while commissioners are not, which allows the employees annual merit increases. Van Vactor explained that the County employs a "mature" workforce, which means that many employees are already at the seventh step and do not receive further merit increases.
Chouinard remarked on the differential between non-elected department heads and commissioners. He noted that there was a 44% differential in 1985, a 59% differential in 1990 and that 1996 shows a differential of 84%. Tollenaar remarked that there is a strong case for a compensation increase using the basis of comparison with other counties and the point factor comparison with department heads. He noted, however, that he sees a problem with what the public can/will accept and understand and feel is fair. Moulton observed that historically commissioners have been willing to pay their employees a fair wage, but there has never been parity between salaries for commissioners and employees.
Evans emphasized that he sees it as a priority to begin with what the public will accept and what is fair. He noted that the County has just come off of several levies in the past several years purporting to be broke and on the verge of economic collapse, i.e. reductions in rural patrols, etc. Evans stressed the need to balance issues. He suggested beginning with the 6% increase in terms of fairness and delineating it as strictly PERS and that that would be palatable to all. Evans indicated that he would then recommend bringing the salary up on the CPI basis,8.39%, to $48,250. He remarked on the need to be careful considering the climate the County is in. Evans stated that this recommendation is reasonable, conservative, and easy for the public to understand. He added that he would also support the commissioners receiving the same COLAs as employees for the next two years. Chouinard indicated that he could support Evans approach.
Tollenaar stated that he was not comfortable with the seeming consensus, stressing that the commissioners jobs are very complex and challenging, and that it is not easy to be a commissioner in this county. He also noted that the salaries would still be way off with department heads and substantially behind comparative counties, indicating that he would be more comfortable with $52,500.
Responding to Brown, Evans indicated that he would like to see the raise given all at one time, as the 6% is being given out of fairness and the 8.39% is the actual increase. Responding to Brown, Van Vactor indicated that the County was in a position to absorb such an increase. Chouinard pointed out that passage of Ballot Measure 47 could have a huge impact.
CONSENSUS was reached, with some reservations by Moulton and Tollenaar, to increase the annual salaries of commissioners by 6% from $41,995 to $44,414 to offset PERS payments, and by 8.39% to $48,250 to reflect the average increase given to other County employees between 1985 and 1995.
There was also CONSENSUS that based on the Supreme Court decision holding Ballot Measure 8 to be unconstitutional, there would be a one-time compensation payment equivalent to what was withheld by the County for PERS contributions during the period December 2, 1994 and December 31, 1996. Suchart indicated this would total $26,775.33. Members also strongly recommended that the County consider returning to the PERS payment method utilized before December, 1994.
Final CONSENSUS was reached that the Commissioners, the Sheriff, the Assessor, the District Attorney and the Justice Court Judges be granted a Cost of Living Allowance equal to the average COLA granted to employees, if any, in 1997 and 1998.
Wilson distributed copies of the modified Order.
MOTION: Approval of the proposed Order adjusting salaries of elected officials. Evans MOVED, Chouinard SECONDED.
There being no further business, this meeting adjourned at 7:02 p.m.

Why, he asks, is New Jersey so generous in funding K-12 education, and so miserly when it comes to its colleges and universities?
"It is the darndest thing," McCormick says. "Maybe it's because we're taken for granted. But none of us have found the words to change it."
Sitting in his spacious office at Old Queens, built a decade before the Revolution, McCormick tried to put the best face on a presidency that most will remember as unremarkable.
Even he doesn't dispute the common verdict about Rutgers, which hasn't budged since he arrived: It is good, but not great.
It has pockets of excellence in subjects like philosophy and math, but the quality of instruction is uneven. Chronic budget shortfalls have left classroom and dorms overcrowded and shabby. Few students come to Rutgers from outside the state's borders.
"I hear from kids that the science labs in their high schools are better than what they have at Rutgers," McCormick said earlier this year.
Rutgers is drawing more research dollars than it has in the past, but it still lags badly. Pharmaceutical companies based in New Jersey are steadily moving money and jobs to states like Massachusetts and California, where they can form partnerships with top research universities.
Even the football team, after a massive investment, is mediocre on a good day.
McCormick takes knocks for all this, and he deserves some of it. He is a polite and deferential man, but not a dynamic leader. He is the sort who walks into a political reception and slinks to the margins with a glass of wine, no one noticing he is there.
In Trenton, he wears a strained smile and gets no respect. He admitted earlier this year that he hates the game of politics, and feels awkward in political settings. Asked to identify a champion in the Legislature last week, he named Senate President Steve Sweeney.
Sweeney would indeed be a good friend. He has power, and he wants to pump more money into higher education. But he says McCormick has been uncooperative and distant for years.
"I don't have a good relationship with him," Sweeney says. "I've called on him to resign a couple of times. I don't know who down here he does have a relationship with."
Gov. Chris Christie issued a brief and chilly statement when McCormick announced his resignation, the diplomatic equivalent of a slap in the face.
Days later, the governor had still not returned McCormick's call to discuss the situation.
* * *
Here is the twist: It is grossly unfair to dump all the blame for the woes of Rutgers on McCormick.
New Jersey's problem with higher education has deeper roots that will still be with us when McCormick steps down next year. Consider this:
-The state has steadily cut funding, and ranks near the bottom of the nation in support for higher education. Two decades ago, Trenton covered two-thirds of the cost of a Rutgers education. This year, it is covering about one-third.
-New Jersey does not cover most capital expenses of the public colleges and universities. If they want to build or refurbish, they are on their own. The demand for space far exceeds the capacity to provide it at nearly every public institution, including Rutgers.
-The state's financing of operating costs is haphazard. Each institution has to elbow its way to the front each year, creating great uncertainty.
"You cannot build a great institution in a state that doesn't want one," says Susan Cole, president of Montclair State University. "New Jersey has to solve the relationship problem it has with higher public education. No president is going to be able to succeed, even a president of Rutgers, until that relationship is solved."
The marriage counselor, it seems, will be former Gov. Tom Kean, along with a large supporting cast.
Kean believes a robust investment in higher ed is critical to the state's economy. Research universities in other states have formed partnerships with private firms to create high-tech meccas loaded with good jobs.
And public colleges give children in working-class families their best shot at the American dream. Many of them are squeezed out today, thanks to overcrowding and rising tuition.
"It's access and quality, and right now we are not there on either of them," Kean says.
Gov. Christie appointed Kean to chair a commission that recommended major new investments and structural changes earlier this year, with a focus on Rutgers.
"Rutgers is absolutely vital," Kean says. "You're not going to have a great system of public higher education unless you have a star at the center. You need someone at that focal point."
No, McCormick is not to blame for Rutgers' woes, and in fact, made modest improvements. But he is not the man to lead the state to this promised land, either, so his departure is in some ways a blessing.
"Dick was a better president than people give him credit for," Cole says. "He worked hard, he cared, and he was not in it for his own glory.
"But I always think a moment of change present an opportunity. I'm an optimist."

Where were you yesterday?
I called you up, no one answered
The phone rings now
All the time I pick it up
No one answers
I know it seems like I just can't go ahead
Sometimes it's like holding a gun to my head
I get the green light but I'm still seeing red
Somethin' I can't stand
In the park yesterday
I saw a face that spelled danger
Friendly smile, a worried look
I mistook for a stranger
I keep on fighting and I know I can't win
Something's biting me, I'll never give in
Coming back to me again and again
The message in my hand
Suspicion, suspicion
Eating away at me, it won't let go
Suspicion is following, everywhere I go
He walks before me, he's someone that I don't know
Suspicion, suspicion
Where were you yesterday?
Where will you be tomorrow?

Inactivation of the von Hippel—Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene is linked to the hereditary VHL disease and sporadic clear cell renal cell carcinomas (CCRCC). VHL‐associated tumors are highly vascularized, a characteristic associated with overproduction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The VHL protein (pVHL) is a component of the ubiquitin ligase E3 complex, targeting substrate proteins for ubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomic degradation. Here, we report that the pVHL can directly bind to the human RNA polymerase II seventh subunit (hsRPB7) through its β‐domain, and naturally occurring β‐domain mutations can decrease the binding of pVHL to hsRPB7. Introducing wild‐type pVHL into human kidney tumor cell lines carrying endogenous mutant non‐functional pVHL facilitates ubiquityl ation and proteasomal degradation of hsRPB7, and decreases its nuclear accumulation. pVHL can also suppress hsRPB7‐induced VEGF promoter transactivation, mRNA expression and VEGF protein secretion. Together, our results suggest that hsRPB7 is a downstream target of the VHL ubiquitylating complex and pVHL may regulate angiogenesis by targeting hsRPB7 for degradation via the ubiquitylation pathway and preventing VEGF expression.

Think before you drink
From high in the Himalayas, to tea stalls in the Andes and at floating markets in Vietnam, you are never far from someone selling you bottled water – offering you convenience and a promise that it's safe to drink. You may also not be far from a rubbish dump or a river bank that has plenty of evidence of discarded bottles, making the natural environment less than healthy.
Buying one bottle of water doesn't seem like a big deal, but when multiplied by the millions, we have one dirty big problem…
– 200ml of oil is used to produce a 1 litre plastic bottle. Plus 2 litres of water to make the bottle, therefore for every 1 litre of water sold, 3 litres of water are used.
– Consider carbon emissions – CO2 from production and transportation. How many 'ships in the night' must pass each other with bottled water from different ends of the earth!
– What a waste – in countries where recycling systems are prevalent, it's estimated that still only around a third of bottles are recycled. An Intrepid group of 12 people on a 14 day trip in a hot country, could, at just two bottles of water a day, discard 336 plastic bottles!
So what are your options on holiday? It's wise to know before you go. And once at Intrepid's destinations your group leader can let you know about the available alternatives. They may include:
– Bubblers/dispensers – filling from a bubbler, a purifying dispenser or reverse osmosis system (common in India), or obtaining boiled water from a flask in your room or the kitchen – the latter being common in China and Russia.
– Water purification tablets – available from camping stores or pharmacies. Some of the newer brands of water purification tablets have very minimal taste, especially if put in the bottle and left with the cap off to 'vent' overnight. Micropur brand is a good example.
– Iodine – tablets or 2% tincture of iodine solution available from pharmacies. Used at 4 drops per litre of water and left for at least 20 minutes, longer in very cold weather. Iodine may leave a slightly unpleasant taste. This can be countered by adding ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to the treated water, but this should only be added after having waited the recommended amount of time for treatment because it neutralizes the effectiveness of the iodine.
– Portable water filters and purification systems – there is a wide range to choose from and your choice will depend on your intended usage, destination and length of time away. Considerations include whether you're mostly treating town water, heading into the wilderness and collecting water from natural sources, the level of silt and the likely contamination. As the technology is advancing so rapidly in this area, we advise you get the latest recommendations from a reputable outdoor gear supplier.
– Tap water! Ask your leader. Don't assume the water is bad, or good – find out!
With a bit of forethought, you can drink plenty and stay healthy during your travels. Plus you can help protect our precious resources and the natural environment of your host's community.
This article was originally posted in March 2010, but since then the water bottle situation has become even more serious. So we want to remind you that there are now easy alternatives for travellers that will avoid us all adding to the global trash problem.

You can certainly choose an unhealthy diet shake that works short-term, but
long-term success comes from programs that incorporate
nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes. In terms of making money with Evolv,
understand that the only way you will make money is by meeting your sales quota and recruiting like
there is no tomorrow. The dirndl costume features a fitted bodice which is usually worn with a blouse,
a long skirt, petticoat and an apron complementing the overall look.
I'm trying to be more eco-friendly with my travel gear, so I've switched from buying bottled water to using [a water purification bottle] which my friend bought me for a recent trip to Africa 🙂 I still use chlorine dioxide drops occasionally but this bottle goes pretty much everywhere with me now. I'd be keen to try out the Steripen too, has anyone used one before?
I have used a steri-pen on two trips to India. It's small and easy to use and leaves no bad taste. It's a really good investment in being a responsible traveller. That and a refillable nalgene-type container will serve you and others well. You can even use it in stream water if it's not too cloudy!
In December last year I travelled through Cambodia and Laos (including a jungle trek). I used Aquaprove water purification drops, which worked fantastically. Easy to carry. Water doesn't taste like chlorine or iodine after purifying. You just put 4 drops in 1L of water and wait 5 mins before drinking. I will be using this on all my future travels.
I agree that it might be difficult to purify water sometimes on the road. However, there certainly are alternatives for those who wish to be responsible travellers other than buying bottles to throw away. For example, in China everyone has tea flasks that are sturdy and refillable and boiled, clean drinking water is always available at all hotels, bus & train stations and on the trains. In India many hotels have water dispensers that you can fill up your bottle at the beginning of each day. In Russia you can always boil the water with the kettle in your room to make it drinkable. So Anne, there are more ways than what you might think and recycling is not always the only answer as this can use more energy and water than making a plastic bottle in the first place!
In an ideal world this would be wonderful BUT there is no way travellers have the time nor the will to organise purifying their own water whilst on the road. Drinking tainted water could ruin the trip for yourself & impact on your fellow travellers. Recycling for a monetary insentive would alleviate a lot of the pollution problems.
Forget the rubbish about carbon credits! The whole thing is a sham so please dont buy into it. France has just announced they will not be implementing a carbon tax. Remember the fable about the Emperor and his (no) clothes. At last governments are waking up to the fact that Al Gore has conned the world for his own gain.

On April 1, 2000 Jaime and I embarked on long-awaited "overpass day" (truly, this has nothing to do with April Fool's day—except for, perhaps, the price of gas). It took us a while to get up, but we were on our way by 10:30. A quick stop at Walmart (for film and Pringles) and the video store (we had to return The Matrix and The Graduate, both of which we saw the night before) was necessary before heading west on the 91, towards Orange County (we started in Riverside). Usually, I drive and Jaime is the official navigatrix. However, Jaime ended up piloting my '94 Cavalier (she has 156,000 miles on her (the Cavalier does, that is) ) so I could type and take pictures.
This is, as the name suggests, a trip which celebrates the interchange: those massive constructs of steel and concrete which efficiently slingshot our cars from one highway to another (here, we are going to look at highway interchanges; not all interchanges necessarily connect highways). If you don't mind nonexperts' options on a matter that really deserves expert opinion, read through our memoirs and maybe you'll get a sense of why we might do something like this!

G. Schneider (Steward Obs., U. Az.), HST GO 10177 Team
After decades of concerted effort applied to understanding the formation processes that gave birth to our solar system, the detailed morphology of circumstellar material that must eventually form planets has been virtually impossible to discern until recently. The advent of high contrast coronagraphic imaging, as implemented with the instruments aboard HST, has dramatically enhanced our understanding of natal planetary system formation. Even so, only a handful of evolved disks (appx. 1 Myr and older) have been imaged and spatially resolved in light scattered from their constituent grains. To elucidate the physical processes and properties in potentially planet-forming circumstellar disks, and to understand the nature and evolution of their grains, a larger spatially resolved and photometrically reliable sample of such systems are being observed. We are carrying out a highly sensitive circumstellar disk imaging survey of a well-defined and carefully selected sample of YSOs (1-10 Myr T Tau and HAeBe stars) and (appx. 10 Myr and older) main sequence stars, to probe the posited epoch of planetary system formation, and to provide this critically needed imagery. Our resolved images, which probe to within 0.3 arcseconds of our target stars, are shedding light on the spatial distributions of the dust in disk systems. Combining spatially resolved scattered-light imagery of circumstellar disks with their long wavelength SEDs, the physical properties of the grains may be discerned or constrained by our photometrically accurate surface brightness sensitivity limits for faint disks which elude detection. Our fifty-two target sample builds on the success of the exploratory GTO 7233 program, using two-roll per orbit PSF-subtracted NICMOS coronagraphy, to provide the highest detection sensitivity to the smallest disks around bright stars which can be imaged with HST. We report on the status of this program, and highlight some preliminary results from selected disk systems. Our overall sample will provide critically needed information to help discriminate between proposed evolutionary scenarios in the epochs of planet-building while providing a legacy of cataloged morphologies for interpreting mid- and far-IR SEDs that the Spitzer Space Telescope is now delivering . Support for this work was provided by NASA through grant number GO-10177 from STScI, operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy Incorporated, under NASA contract NAS5-26555.

Historical figures came to life Wednesday for fifth- and sixth-grade students at Thomas Jefferson Middle School.
President Abraham Lincoln and Maj. Gen. Dan Sickles - also known as Jeff Bloomquist of Jamestown and Greg Johnson of Frewsburg, respectively - spoke to the students at the school during two one-hour presentations, giving the youngsters a visual experience of the Civil War era.
''The fifth-grade curriculum includes sectionalism, Civil War and Reconstruction,'' Tom Langworthy, a fifth-grade teacher at Jefferson, said. ''Right now we're in a unit focusing on the Civil War and as the war ended. It was the perfect time for Jeff to come in and talk about Abraham Lincoln.''

President Abraham Lincoln, as portrayed by Jamestown's Jeff Bloomquist, walks toward the stage to ''Hail to the Chief'' during a presentation Wednesday at Thomas Jefferson Middle School.

Bloomquist, a Vietnam veteran who has been portraying Lincoln for nearly 20 years, gave a speech to the students detailing Lincoln's life. He also gave a reading of Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address to the students in attendance.
Langworthy said Bloomquist has been a friend of his family for a long time, and that Bloomquist jumped at the idea when Langworthy approached him about speaking to his students.
''We're fortunate we have someone as knowledgeable at Jeff right here in Jamestown who can come in and help kids learn about history for free, just because he likes to do it and is interested in helping kids out,'' Langworthy said.
Johnson, a friend of Bloomquist who has been involved in Civil War re-enactments for many years, portrayed Maj. Gen. Sickles - a Union general who preceded Ulysses S. Grant. Sickles' combat career came to an end at the Battle of Gettysburg, where he lost his right leg to a cannonball.
''He's friends with Jeff, so Jeff sort of wanted to bring him along,'' Langworthy said. ''I thought it was a great idea, and it exposes kids to some of the historical aspects of American history that they may not have known.''
Langworthy said his students were awed to see the 16th President of the United States coming down auditorium aisle to the stage while ''Hail to the Chief'' played over the loudspeakers.
''When he comes in looking as much like Abe Lincoln as he does, I think it's really eye-opening to kids,'' he said. ''It gives them a visual perspective, which is much more important than reading it in a book. It's a real-life experience.''

Survey Says Two Million US Adults Import Drugs without Prescriptions
The top reason for drug importation was, not surprisingly, price, a motivator for more than 85% of the importers. More surprising, about half the importers lacked prescriptions for the drugs they wanted. The prescription drugs most often imported include drugs for infections requiring antibiotics, pain, allergies, hypertension, digestive problems, and high cholesterol.
While Canada is the single leading country exporting drugs to the United States, Canadian drugs account for less than half of all drugs coming from overseas. The majority of drugs came from other countries, or the importers were uncertain as to the country of origin of their imports.
In a statement published on the PhRMA website, the organization's President and CEO, Billy Tauzin said, "This study further confirms what the Food and Drug Administration has been saying all along—millions of Americans are circumventing the system and going to other sources to buy their medicine because they do not have a doctor's prescription for the medicine they want. Alarmingly, this behavior increases an individual's risk to being exposed to dangerous counterfeit medicines." -Michelle Hoffman
Sanofi Pasteur and MedImmune Awarded Contracts for Flu Vaccine Facilities
Sanofi plans to begin the design phase immediately, with the retrofit starting as soon as the new influenza-vaccine manufacturing facility is operational and licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (Rockville, MD). The company's existing facility will be phased out and decommissioned for the retrofit. Once both facilities are validated, the company's capacity will increase threefold.
The contracts are part of HHS's Pandemic Preparedness Plan, which was issued in November 2005 and outlines public-health preparedness and response activities for an influenza pandemic. According to the World Health Organization (Geneva), 1–2.3 billion hospitalizations and 280,000–650,000 deaths could occur in the next influenza pandemic in industrialized nations alone. HHS hopes to stockpile enough prepandemic influenza vaccine for 20 million people. -Angie Drakulich

Be As Happy As Larry
The medical world now accepts that the winter months can cause depression. They've even got a name for it: Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD (you can see what they did there).
All right, so it might not always be a serious form of depression, but it at least gives you a good excuse to fly off somewhere to avoid those winter blues. Why not plan your next trip as a form of depression help? Now, one way to do just that is to seek out more sunlight, and another is to stimulate those endorphins in the brain by taking part in plenty of physical exercise. Do both of these and you'll be as happy as Larry. (Though who Larry is and why he should be so happy is a moot point.)
Skiing, of course, ticks both boxes. The winter sun that's reflected everywhere by the snow, provides lots of lovely sunlight, and skiing, which involves the use of countless muscles, is excellent exercise.
If you're a novice, don't be deterred from the sport. I nearly was when I first tried it at the French resort of Avoriaz with a large group of seasoned skiers. That, of course, was my first big mistake. Whatever you do, don't go with a large group who have been before. Know your limitation and stick to the junior slopes with other fledgling skiers (or non-skiers). And for heaven-sake, don't take part in a torch lit procession by night, no matter how easy they tell you it is. It isn't. Fortunately, I had the good sense to give this a wide berth. But one poor chap came back on a stretcher, having sustained two broken ribs and several nasty bruises where he had failed to get out of the way of the odd pine tree.
My other big mistake was not going to that other resort in the French Alps, Les Arcs. Because this is the place where a very sensible and effective method of teaching skiing is employed; it's called Ski Evolutif. And basically it involves starting out on very short skis, which are wonderfully easy to manoeuvre in. So from word go, you learn how to parallel ski without tripping over your own full length skis that are taller than you. And as your confidence grows, your instructor will issue you with slightly longer skis. By the end of week one I was skiing properly on full length skis. And believe me, when you do get the hang of it, it comes naturally, and is most exhilarating to feel yourself sliding along at some considerable speed.
Les Arcs itself isn't especially pretty. It's a purpose-built resort for skiers so the place is filled to the gills with shops selling every conceivable piece of skiing paraphernalia you could possibly need. But then, if you're only here for the skiing, it really doesn't matter. Indeed, many experienced skiers prefer such resorts because the ski slopes and ski lifts are quite literally on your doorstep.
I have since tried to persuade my wife to try skiing on numerous occasions but have failed miserably. Yet I still live in hope that perhaps one day she will see the light.

Vodafone Shows Off Galaxy S III LTE, Preloaded With Jelly Bean
Vodafone's IFA booth had their new Samsung Galaxy S III LTE, packing the famed Exynos quad core along with a dedicated LTE radio. This of course adds bulk and weight to the phone, along with worse battery, most likely. However, there was one thing that catches the eye: it is pre-loaded with Jelly Bean. If it's already pre-loaded on one Galaxy S III, then it should be pretty much done for the others. This is of course good news for all Galaxy S III owners, as they can expect to see the update sometime soon, though we still have no info on that.
One strange thing that we noticed is the color. This S III is a strange plum color, not red, and not black. We are not sure what this means, but hopefully there will be an explanation soon.

Marion County Circuit Judge Thomas Hart instructed the jury on the elements the state must prove in each of the 18 counts against the father and son if they are to find them guilty.
For the 10 aggravated murder counts, the state must prove the two men acted intentionally in killing police officers William Hakim and Thomas Tennant.
The instructions allow the jury to choose lesser offenses -- which don't carry a potential death penalty sentence -- for the men on some of the counts. The jury would first have to find the defendants not guilty of the charged offense before considering alternates.
The lesser offenses, including felony murder, don't require the state to prove the defendants intentionally caused the deaths.
The two men are accused of planting a bomb outside a West Coast Bank in Woodburn as part of a failed robbery plot. The bomb exploded as Hakim and Tennant tried to dismantle what Hakim, a bomb technician for Oregon State Police, mistakenly believed to be a hoax.
The blast also maimed Woodburn Police Chief Scott Russell and wounded bank employee Laurie Perkett.
In addition to the 10 counts of aggravated murder, Bruce Turnidge, 59, and Joshua Turnidge, 34, are charged with three counts of attempted aggravated murder, one count of first-degree assault, one count of second-degree assault, one count of unlawful manufacture of an explosive device, one count of unlawful possession of an explosive device and one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated murder.

Protein Bars: What's the hype?
Nutritionists weigh in on what you should and shouldn't eat
It truly seems like everyone is on the protein bar kick. Everywhere you look you see different varieties of protein bars, but which are the right ones to eat? Grocery stores carry them, convenience stores carry them and of course, the health food stores all have them. I am not much of a protein bar fan myself so when I wanted to learn more about them, I figured it was time to finally try one but which would I try?
I ventured into a convenience store on a street corner in Philadelphia while on a weekend trip for a mid-afternoon snack boost. The first rack of snack foods I encountered were protein bars and they had an unbelievable amount of options. I am partial to sweets and candies so when I saw the chocolate chip cookie dough protein bar, I grabbed it. Don't get me wrong, I like nuts and dried fruits but the one that contained the word chocolate in the title was what did me in. How could I resist?
I won't delve into too much detail of my first bite but let's just say my fear of trying new foods was not left far behind after that protein bar. I will try one again but maybe next time I will listen more to what the nutritionists have to say in regards to taste and what to look for in a protein bar rather than the word chocolate in the title.
In order to know my choices better for next time, I chatted with some area nutritionists to get the low-down on just what is so great about these protein bars. Just like most health food kicks, protein bars come with the good, the bad and the ugly.
What to look for:
With so many to choose from as with most things in our world today, it can be overwhelming to make a decision. Nutritionists Linda Arpino, Francine Blinten, Alison Held and Nancy Murphy gave us some tips on what people should look for when making a decision. Some of the brands suggested can make it easier to choose but also looking at ingredient lists can additionally help narrow it down.
Look at saturated fats and sugar content. Arpino said that four grams of sugar is equivalent to one teaspoon of the sweet stuff so be weary. With some bars containing as much as 16 grams of sugar per bar, you need to watch out!
Held made some suggestions on brands she recommends that people can get off store shelves. She prefers Larabar, thinkThin Bar, Organic Food Bar as well as NuGo for those who want something gluten free. Larabars are a good whole food product, thinkThin Bar is low in sugar, Organic Food Bar is packed with anti-oxidants and NuGo is good for those who want less or no gluten. Murphy is partial to Kashi Bar given the variety they offer.
Why they are good:
Mom's on the go or anyone who has a busy schedule tend to gravitate towards protein bars since they are quick and easy. Both Blinten and Held said that when in a pinch, protein bars can come in handy. They are non-perishable and convenient. What they want people to remember though is to look at the ingredient list and make sure they have fiber as well as enough protein. "I am a fan of them, I just warn people to be careful of over consuming," Held said.
What to avoid:
All of the nutritionists agreed that people should not use these bars as a crutch and form habits of grabbing them as meal replacements. Blinten said that people should prepare for their busy and rushed schedules. She suggests cutting up vegetables and fruits and having them on hand in Tupperware containers or baggies to grab on your way out the door. Focusing on whole grain, fruits and vegetables is still important.
Keeping them away from children as much as possible is good as well. Bring fruit to a sports game so children can receive plenty of nutrients they need to recover. "Some protein bars are less than 100 calories, others are over 350," Arpino said. "For a child, a 350 calorie protein bar is not going to do it; it is a third of their calorie intake for the day."
In regards to ingredient lists, they recommended avoiding those that taste the best since they probably are the worst. "People think they are eating a health food when they might be eating a chocolate bar," Blinten said. Be wary of those that say "all-natural ingredients" and check the back. If there is a long list of ingredients, find one with less and more understandable contents. Lastly, those that are loaded with protein may not even be worth it. "Ones you find at GNC or vitamin shops have massive amounts of protein in them and your body can only take so much at a time," Held said.
What to try:
If you want to find what is best or if you want a protein bar for a specific purpose, talk to a practitioner. They can find you protein bars you cannot get on the market and ones that are truly good for you. Take a chance and try a bar without the word chocolate in the title…it might just be that much better for you and you will get what you should from a protein bar!

NEW YORK -- Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville began a meeting with his athletics director to discuss his contract and other football-related business Tuesday afternoon. Athletics Director Jay Jacobs came to Tuberville's hotel, the Waldorf-Astoria, for the first face-to-face meeting since talks began more than a week ago.
Auburn has told Tuberville he has until Friday to accept a $200,000 a-year raise. That raise would up his financial package to $2.8 million next season. Auburn has also offered a two-year contract extension, which would take his contract through the 2013 season. Tuberville has said he loves Auburn and that's he's ``honored'' the school offered him a contract extension.

If theres not an ability heres an idea for admins/owners:
Feature Request:
I am not sure anyone else gets this but on my server I get players who share accounts. So say a sister and a brother. The sister plays all the time and then gets her own account so they no longer need to share. But now the sister starts over from 0 playtime and the brother has like 80+ hours. Can you integrate a command to easily reset or change a players playtime? Only available for admins and owners obviously but this would help my server.
BTW I am looking through logblock as well to see if theres an option somewhere but have yet to find one and felt this spot was best area to request it :). Cheers!

You can't be serious... the plugin is called LBStats... the LB stands for LogBlock. The first sentence in the description says "Get player LogBlock data..."
Don't blame the Dev for your inability to read.

Hi. I am assuming that this plugin works with 1.5.2 right? I have two problems:
1. The players can use the commands but when they type a command, it comes back with an error saying that it cant find anything on that player. For instance, when I issue the command /lbs playtime, I get the error "Error/Could not find playtime of player <me>". Can you please tell me how to fix this?
2. What do you mean by edit LobBlock config? I do not have logblock. Do I need it?
I do have MySQL and it is up and running. No problems with it.
Thanks! :)
EDIT: Ok. I fixed the problems. I had a little extra time so I installed logblock and that fixed it. You really ought to include that this plugin depends upon logblock. :DLast edited Jul 02, 2013 by KenWilliams
