The technical name for the body of Christians who use the Byzantine Rite in various languages and are in union with the Patriarch of Constantinople but in schism with the Pope of Rome. The epithet Orthodox ( orthodoxos ), meaning "right believer", is, naturally, claimed by people of every religion. It is almost exactly a Greek form of the official title of the chief enemies of the Greeks, i.e. the Moslems (mu'min, fidelis). The Monophysite Armenians called themselves ughapar , meaning exactly the same thing.
How "Orthodox" became the proper name of the Eastern Church it is difficult to say. It was used at first, long before the schism of Photius, especially in the East, not with any idea of opposition against the West, but rather as the antithesis to the Eastern heretics — Nestorians and Monophysites. Gradually, although of course, both East and West always claimed both names, "Catholic" became the most common name for the original Church in the West, "Orthodox" in the East.
It would be very difficult to find the right name for this Church. "Eastern" is too vague, the Nestorians and Monophysites are Eastern Churches ; "Schismatic" has the same disadvantage. "Greek" is really the least expressive of all. The Greek Church is only one, and a very small one, of the sixteen Churches that make up this vast communion. The millions of Russians, Bulgars, Rumanians, Arabs, and so on who belong to it are Greek in no sense at all. According to their common custom one may add the word "Eastern" to the title and speak of the Orthodox Eastern Church ( he orthodoxos anatolike ekklesia ).
The Orthodox, then, are the Christians in the East of Europe, in Egypt and Asia, who accept the Councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon (are therefore neither Nestorians nor Monophysites ), but who, as the result of the schisms of Photius (ninth cent.) and Cerularius (eleventh cent.), are not in communion with the Catholic Church. There is no common authority obeyed by all, or rather it is only the authority of "Christ and the seven Ecumenical Synods" (from Nicæa I in 325, to Nicæa II in 787).
These sixteen Churches are: (1) The four Eastern patriarchates — Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem — and the Church of Cyprus, independent since the Council of Ephesus. (2) Since the great schism eleven new Churches have been added, all but one formed at the expense of the one vast Patriarchate of Constantinople. They are the six national churches of Russia, Greece, Servia, Montenegro, Rumania, and Bulgaria, four independent Churches in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, namely Carlovitz, Hermannstadt, Czernovitz, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and lastly the Church of Mount Sinai, consisting of one monastery separated from Jerusalem. One of these Churches, that of Bulgaria, is in schism with Constantinople since 1872. The total number of Orthodox Christians in the world is estimated variously as 95 to 100 millions. (See EASTERN CHURCHES; GREEK CHURCH; CONSTANTINOPLE, Heresy and Schism ; RUSSIA.)
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.

Justin marshall played Ireland three times during his 81 Test career with New Zealand and never came close to being upset.
He scored a try in a 63-15 rout at Lansdowne Road [1997], and started at scrum-half for a two-game swing in 2002 when the All Blacks saw off the tourists 15-6 and 40-8. He retired from international rugby in 2005 after helping his country to a 3-0 series win over the British & Irish Lions.
He took his rugby boots to Wales soon after and taught Mike Phillips a thing or two about scrum-half swagger at Ospreys. He finished out his career with season-long stints at Saracens and Ospreys before returning to New Zealand to take up commentary work with Sky.
It was in his commentary role, at a chilly AMI Stadium in Christchurch last June, that Marshall witnessed the All Blacks pushed to the brink by Ireland. Inspired by Conor Murray and Sean O'Brien, Ireland led the second Test of their three-match tour 10-9 at the break. With the Kiwis reduced to 14 men with six minutes to go, Jonathan Sexton missed a penalty from the halfway line. The home side rallied and Dan Carter got a late drop goal to snatch a 22-19 win.
"That was a game that Ireland should have won but they choked," Marshall told TheScore.ie. "They had New Zealand where they wanted them but did not show any composure."
He added, "That is actually a game that Ireland should be studying closely on the video-tape this week. They got into so many scoring positions in that game but didn't take their opportunities. They should see how they unsettled the All Blacks in that game, especially at the breakdown, and replicated.
"They were brave in that game and took risks. If they can do the same, with the match at home — and with the added motivational factor of it being Brian O'Driscoll's last game — they must have a chance."

The All Blacks live to win rugby games but they appreciate being pushed to their limits in securing victory. Marshall expects Ireland to throw every last punch at their guests and feels a rousing Irish performance must be in reserve.
He said, "I was surprised to see how easy Australia won last week. When I saw the Ireland team, on paper, I thought they would give the Aussies a run for their money.
I got the sense that most of their big guys were not playing to their potential. I'd imagine they'll be a hell of a lot better against New Zealand. Joe Schmidt knows the ins and outs of that team and knows how they'll like to play."
Marshall believes the Australia game 'did not go his way' for Brian O'Driscoll but expects the world-class operator to give his all in a desperate effort to knock over the world champions.
The other Irish dangermen, says the former Crusader, are the "exceptional" Tommy Bowe, Cian Healy — he's got some great skills for a prop — and Sean O'Brien. When speaking about the Tullow Tank, Marshall and former Ireland openside David Wallace are in agreement on where he would be best suited in the Irish back row.
"O'Brien is a very good player but I wonder if he is playing in the right position. I think he would be best at No.8. He is brutally strong and a great ball carrier that commits defences and gets over the advantage line."

Ex New Zealand International scrum-half Justin Marshall was in Dublin to announce an incredible prize on the Guinness Plus App. For the New Zealand match, Guinness Plus is giving rugby fans the chance to win the opportunity for them and three friends to enjoy a pint and talk all things rugby with Irish International legend Keith Wood at their local pub.
For a chance to win people simply need to download the Guinness Plus App and 'check-in' to their local participating pub on Sunday, 24 November before 11.59pm. The Guinness Plus App is available to download for iPhone and Android Smartphones from the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store now.

Fond remembrances of Jack Ramsay, the legendary long-time Portland Trail Blazers coach and NBA broadcaster, continue to roll in.
The 89-year-old passed away Monday after a lengthy battle with cancer.
Mayor Charlie Hales issued the following statement:
"Rip City, Blazermania, and respect for 'Dr. Jack' are baked into the DNA of longtime Portlanders. He's part of the legacy of the city and always will be. We are grateful for his contributions."
Ramsay coached the team for a decade and led the Blazers to the 1977 NBA title, the only championship in team history.
The intense coach with the distinctive bushy eyebrows and team-fire mentality, led the victory parade through downtown Portland one June 6, 1977.
"It was incredible," Ramsay told the Oregonian. "It exceeded my expectations, it was an unbelievable experience."
Here are a couple City Hall links of note:
The Oregonian: Portland fined $40,800 by state for dumping chlorinated water during Powell Butte reservoir construction
The Oregonian: Portland Public Water District live chat at noon on Monday
The Oregonian: Ed McNamara, Mayor Hales' housing guy, is leaving this summer

ALPENA TOWNSHIP - A 22-year-old Alpena woman was killed in traffic accident on US-23 near East Grand Lake Road Tuesday, according to Michigan State Police.
Emergency crews responded to a two-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon after a northbound car lost control just south of the E. Grand Lake Road intersection and was struck head-on by a southbound pickup, MSP Sgt. Craig Johnson said. The driver of the car was killed as a result.
A 43-year-old Rogers City man was driving the pickup, and was transported to Alpena Regional Medical Center, according to a release from Trooper Steven Wallenius. The woman driving the other vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident occurred at around 12:40 p.m., and roads were snowy and icy at the time.
The highway between East Grand Lake Road and Lakewood Drive was closed for some hours as police investigated, Alpena County Sheriff's Sgt. J.P. Ritter said. Traffic was being redirected onto Grand Lake Road and Lakewood Drive, south of the highway.
Along with MSP and sheriff's deputies, Alpena City Ambulances and Alpena Township North Side Fire Department/EMS assisted at the scene.

A few weeks ago the DNR issued a statement about the increase in our antlerless deer population and will increase permits to allow shooting them.
I was a aghast when I read the article. Sure, we have an increase in antlerless deer around areas like Sawyer Lake, Channing, Breen Township, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, but not in out normal deer habitat areas.
Let's look at an area just west of Channing which has 120 acres of beautiful cedar swamp, with a railroad running through it. Years ago before the wolves inundated us, the deer had beaten down paths in the snow across the tracks. Now, you see very few deer tracks, but, wolf tracks are prevalent in the snow.
This was one of the best natural deer yards in the U.P. Now, even the wolves are heading south with the deer that they chased out of their natural habitat.
What can we do to get the deer back into their natural habitat?
First, do issue more antlerless deer licenses; second, reduce the wolf population in our area, basically Iron and Dickinson counties; third, stop killing of deer in our local cities, instead stun them and transport them north to their natural habitat which includes cedar swamps for winter habitat; fourth, find a better method to count deer.
As it appears to me, we are just as errant in counting deer as we are in counting wolves.
As I wrote in previous articles, the DNR, in March 1943, stated wolves were practical extinct. They stated there were two and possible three wolves left in the U.P. and none below Koski's Korners.
In January 1943, I saw wolf tracks 30 miles below Koski's Korners, in May of 1943 a wolf growled and gnashed his teeth at my friend and then ran past me by a creek 40 miles below Koski's Korners.
We must do something different immediately or it will be devastating to our local fall economy, not to say the hundreds of pounds of venison that were always donated to the needy.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Shares of Rackspace Hosting (NYSE: RAX ) jumped 12% overnight and have gained a spectacular 25% since last Thursday. Not only did Mr. Market bid the stock up in anticipation of a terrific second-quarter report -- but the budding cloud-computing giant also delivered in style.
Analysts were looking for earnings of $0.18 per share on about $318 million in sales. Rackspace delivered $0.19 per share and $319 million, respectively, sliding past the Street's consensus by the slimmest of margins.
That's nice and all, but it's hardly cause for a rocket launch. The real explanation lies in a separate press release.
You see, Rackspace took this opportunity to launch a new brand identity. The company will still be known as Rackspace, but the OpenStack cloud computing service is leaving fingerprints all over the corporate logo, tagline, and marketing messages.
Oh, Rackspace still sells traditional hosting services like its name would suggest. But the "open cloud company," as it now makes itself known, is really all about cloud computing. Never you mind that Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN ) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) each got a head start with their Amazon Web Services and Windows Azure platforms, not to mention that those giants' enormous financial and operational resources dwarf Rackspace's. Built on open standards and backed by customer support so fanatical that it's a trademarked term, Rackspace expects to keep winning share of this exploding market anyhow.
At least three analyst firms increased target prices, sales projections, and/or earnings estimates after this one-two punch. Scott Goldman of Goldman Sachs (no relation, I presume) said the bear thesis was mitigated by this quarter's financial results. OpenStack will be more of a long-term growth driver than an instant catalyst, according to Jefferies.
My bullish CAPScall on Rackspace has served me well over the past two years and will continue to pull its weight for years to come. This company is a key cog in the Big Data machine, where cloud-based tools combine to extract value from huge data sets. Learn all about Big Data, including the name of the one company poised to profit the most from this technological revolution, in this special report -- totally free for a limited time.

A two-alarm fire damaged a shotgun double in Central City on Thursday morning, displacing an unspecified number of residents there, according to the New Orleans Fire Department. Investigators say the 9:34 a.m. blaze at 2500-02 Freret St. was caused by a woman who accidentally left a space heater turned on in her bedroom in one of the residences when she went to work.
Firefighters responded to the scene about 9:37 a.m. and spotted flames and smoke coming out of the single-story, wood-framed building. A woman inside of 2500 Freret St. had gotten out after neighbors alerted her that the place was on fire.
Noting how close the shotgun double was to surrounding homes, the Fire Department called for more personnel at 9:44 a.m. Ultimately, authorities said, 43 firefighters on 13 units extinguished the flames by 11:10 a.m.
The blaze began in a bedroom at the center of one of the homes, NOFD said. The woman who informed firefighters about the space heater wasn't home at the time of the incident. Authorities noted that there was a large hole in the floor of the bedroom where the heater burned through.
The American Red Cross provided housing and clothing assistance to residents affected by the fire, NOFD added. No injuries were reported.

I was struck by the large photo on the Sunday Advance's Perspective page (Oct. 25) that showed proponents of government-backed health care that clearly gave the impression that the majority of doctors favor the public option. Just because those picketers state that does not mean it is true. All the polls that I have seen and the doctors I have spoken to clearly reveal that they do not favor the public option nor does the general population.
The reason for this is that insurance companies could not compete with the government and would be forced out so that the government would eventually become the sole provider and we would end up with a socialistic-type plan like they have in Canada and the United Kingdom. Not a pretty picture.
Increased competition between insurance companies across state lines nationally would insure lower premiums and be the way to go. Tort reform would further help to lower costs.

Marijuana restriction removed from Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve
Island County planning commissioners heard the concerns of farmers of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve and removed restrictions on recreational marijuana operations in that area.
"After we heard the testimony of folks who have lived there for years, we were all pretty well convinced," said planning commissioner Scott Yonkman this week. "Placing restrictions in the reserve didn't fit as we first thought it might."
The restrictions were taken out of the findings and recommendations approved by the planning commission Tuesday. This information will now be used to draft a marijuana ordinance that will go before the county commissioners.
Farmers claimed the restriction on the reserve granted "farmers outside the reserve an unfair competitive advantage and sets a dangerous precedent," wrote Charles Arndt in a letter to county leadership.
The county is in the process of developing an ordinance in response to the state's passing of Initiative 502, which legalized recreational marijuana.
The county put in place a six-month moratorium while it researches and develops regulations. County leadership is hoping to have an ordinance in place before the moratorium expires in May.
Originally, the planning commission recommended that the county restrict marijuana operations to the smallest tier — 2,000 square feet or less — and not allow processing and retail operations.
Dozens of Ebey's Reserve farmers told planning commissioners by letter and during a public forum in March that they did not want Ebey's Reserve to be treated differently when it comes to marijuana.
"As farmers farming within the boundaries of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, this potential precedent setting infringement on the flexibility, competitiveness and sustainability of the agriculture is of deep concern to us," said a letter signed by residents Leonard Engle, Robert Engle, Fran Einterz, Dale Sherman, Georgie Smith, Wilbur Purdue, Clark Bishop and Karen Bishop.
Ebey's Reserve Trust Board agreed with farmers in a letter released this week that existing county guidelines on development in the reserve should suffice and no additional marijuana-specific regulation would be necessary.
"Therefore, the Trust Board requests that the language establishing special regulatory conditions for the reserve be removed from the draft regulations," the letter stated.
Despite the concession to no longer restrict marijuana operations in the reserve, the planning commission still defines the crop as "unlike other plants grown and processed as typical agricultural practices," a move that many farmers disagree with.
This definition was created because marijuana is subject to tracking, is a controlled substance, may not be traded at farm stands and is expected to be grown primarily indoors, according to the recommendations.
"All products grown in Washington are subject to tracking, accounting, state licensing and security at all levels," Josh Frank Harvey wrote to the county. "I question the factual basis of your finding."
Yonkman said that for him, the decision to define marijuana as not quite agriculture was due to its classification as a controlled substance.
"It's the primary thing I latched onto and made me feel it was a good decision," Yonkman said.

Community foundation establishes crisis fund | Letters | May 29
establishes crisis fund
During this difficult economic time, the Bainbridge Community Foundation has established the Community Response Fund, a new area-of-interest fund to support and assist local nonprofit social service organizations for urgent and crisis needs funding.
The Community Response Fund began as an idea from a group of nonprofit staff and community leaders.
The primary purpose was to ensure that Bainbridge Island residents would continue to be served by our local social and human service agencies, despite the economic crisis.
Services and programs support, nurture and care for our island residents each day, and this fund will serve as a "safety net" in case a social services nonprofit experiences an unexpected funding crisis that would impact its ability to provide those critical services.
We are pleased and honored to accept founding donations to this fund, and already have three generous contributions totaling $53,000 to establish this community-based fund.
During this time of great need for so many in our community, we are grateful for the hard work, critical support and essential services that the health and human services nonprofits provide.
This fund is here to serve and support those organizations that support us all.
Please join our founding donors in supporting this critical fund for our community.
More information is available at www.bainbridgecommunityfoundation.org or call the foundation office at 842-0433.
On behalf of the Bainbridge Community Foundation,
Tom Croker, president

The height s of a ball in feet thrwn with an initial velocity of 80 feet er second from an initial height of 6 feet is givenas a function of the time t in seconds by
(a) Graph
(b)Determine the time at which the height is maximum
(c)What is the maximum height?
Would I put this equation into my TI-86 and interpret the graph? Or am I totally wrong?
Alright so I did that.
And my graph is a messed up line on (5,0) Then goes up slightly to the left and down slightly to the right.
Since it only intercects the graph at that poing would that be the max?
My teacher gave us this assignment without teaching it to us..
I'm assuming this is a calculus class correct? if so, no real need to use a calculator, except to check your work. If so,
part B: take first derivative of your function, set it equal to 0 and solve for t
part C: put the answer u got in part B into your original equation to find the max height
what math class is this for? you can find this solution various ways. as for the graphing calc, it is a very useful tool. graphing it on your calculator and copying it onto your homework is one way to complete A. this graph will also show you when the ball is at its max height. just be careful in case you cant use calculators on your test!

"My dad builds a different float each year," said Billie Jo Hoffman, board secretary for the St. Patrick's Association.
Her father, Joe Joyce, said the Joyce family entry this year will be a 1926 Model T truck he restored. The kids will ride in the truck bed.
Joyce has been entering floats since the '80s, he said. Last year the float was a playhouse for his granddaughter. One year, he built a float called "Finnigan's Wake" that featured a coffin.
Why keep it up?
"I'm a full-blooded Irishman," he said.
"I guess for us it's been a way to connect to the community and give back to the community," Hoffman said. "My kids have so much fun. I have a second-grader and he says 'We've got to be in the parade so I can wear my kilt again.'"
The parade will pay homage to celebrations of years past, with the return of the Irish Stepperettes.
"They were a drill team that kind of took off from our Irish roots. They were like 30 girls," VanOosbree said. "They had cowboy boots and skirts and stuff."
The group was together from about 1970 to 1982, he said. This year, they'll be riding on a float.
The pedal tractor pull will be Saturday morning. That was a big hit last year, said Hoffman.
"And it is a sanctioned event, so if they get first or second at the pedal tractor pull here, they're eligible to go to state pedal tractor pull," she said.
Other highlights from this year include performers Allen Johnson and Laura Ernst. Ernst was featured on "America's Got Talent."
"She has an aerial act," Hoffman said. "She'll use fabric and be swinging around in the air."
She'll also appear in the parade, rolling down the street in a giant hamster ball, Hoffman said.
Johnson is a comedy juggler, and has appeared on "ER" and "Night Court."
"He's doing a comedy juggling unicycle act," she said.
Another new thing is the "Paint, Sip, Create" exhibition Friday evening. For a fee, participants will be provided with art supplies and canvas and taught to paint a Celtic cross and shamrock - no artistic experience necessary.
One of the guests of honor for the weekend will be Marcella Corcoran-Kennedy of the Irish parliament.
After visiting the State Capitol earlier in the week, Corcoran-Kennedy will attend the Irish coffee open house Thursday, the Miss Shamrock Pageant on Friday and the parade on Saturday.
Emmetsburg has been bringing dignitaries in from Ireland since 1967, said St. Pat's Chairman Andy Joyce.
"From one year to the next we rely on those who were here previously to recommend and help us find a new dignitary to bring over," he said. "The year prior we ask them to help go through the Irish Parliament and find a colleague that would have availability during that time frame.
"Fortunately they've continued to come, so we must host them well."

In a normal NHL season, January and February are called the dog days. Teams often lose focus when the playoffs seem so far off.
Not this year with the Olympics coming in late February.
"Right now I think we have to look at the Olympic break to be our measuring thing," Brodeur said Thursday. "You have to put smaller goals in front of you and it's a limited number of games to the Olympic break, so I think that's what we have to focus on.
"But just by the attitude of our coach, we don't get overwhelmed by things that are going on. Every day we have to prove to ourselves that is the way we need to play and to keep going. It keeps up accountable. We just want to go out there and win and make sure we preserve any lead we have, or extend it."
But if Lemaire seems calm, he is actually worried about the next few weeks.
"It's a tough period. I always say that," Lemaire said. "After New Year's and the holidays, it's a tough period. We started well and we just hope that we keep going.
"You will get some teams that maybe didn't have as much success that will get it together and start to win more. Other teams will drop. This is a period where you get some changes. Us, so far, it's going well. We're trying to keep the guys energetic in their game and in practice."
Lemaire was asked if he planned to give Brodeur a little more rest in the coming weeks since he will likely play a lot at the Olympics and won't get that time off.
"Nope. If everyone else would rest their players going into the Olympics, I might look at it," Lemaire said. "But I don't think they'll rest them. They're trying to win games."
The Devils play back-to-back games Friday night at home and Saturday night in Montreal. I asked backup goalie Yann Danis if he was playing Friday night and he said, "I don't know anything."
As opposed to other seasons, Brodeur predicted the play will remain high over the next five weeks before the Olympics.
"I think this year you'll see less (of a drop off) just because of that break," he said. "I think everybody is looking forward to that break. It's, 'This is good, another 15 games or so and after the drive we're off for a while.'
"It's not just us, it's everybody. In an average season they call them the dog days of hockey. You have to play well. You don't want to struggle at the end to get in the playoffs. You have to get your points when you can. I think it's going to help because of the break."
That is what Lemaire is hoping.
"This would be great," the coach said. "Try to keep it going until the break. If you look at all the games, we have big games. We have huge games. We've got to go to Montreal and it doesn't stop. It's one big team after the other.
"Twice with the Islanders, the Rangers, Toronto three times, Ottawa. Philly twice. It just doesn't stop."
* * *
Brodeur said he probably never posted a shutout before wearing two different masks.
He took a shot that broke his plastic throat protector Wednesday night and temporarily played with another mask.
"It's not too often where my mask breaks," he said. "This one probably hit square in the middle. I broke one in practice early in the season. I don't remember breaking any before. It's shooting harder probably, or higher."
Brodeur said he's always worn the throat protector.
"Since junior I always put one on," he noted. "My chest protector hangs pretty low. So if I don't have that my collar bone could be exposed even more.
"Patrick (Roy) on his first mask always had one. So when we (kids) got our masks, that was part of it. Most of the French guys we have it. (Roberto) Luongo doesn't have it but (Marc-Andre) Fleury has it, (J.S.) Giguere has it."

Turning Stone Resort and Casino has banned all alcoholic beverages on its property, effective immediately.
In a notice posted on its Web site, the resort cited ongoing discussions with the state to secure a liquor license as the reason for the new policy.
"Our hope, and plan, is to allow full service of alcohol for our guests at each of our facilities in the near future," the notice reads.
The resort, owned by the Oneida Indian Nation, has tried for six years to get a license to serve alcohol. Until now, outside vendors supplied conventions, weddings and other groups. Restaurant patrons and concertgoers also could bring their own alcohol.

Women in the Outdoors held its second annual winter event at Chapman State Park over the weekend, drawing participants from across the state as well as parts of Ohio.
The event was, as many referred to it as, a cure for cabin fever.
Classes in winter bird identification, archery, geocaching, trapping, turkey hunting 101, and snowshoeing were offered throughout the day, giving the participants a chance to develop an interest in something they might not have even thought of trying.

Don Watts, center, gave an informative lecture on bird identification.
Jessica Chipps, who traveled from Youngstown, Ohio, has been going to Women in the Outdoors events since 2007. "I started out going to one event a year and now I attend several," she said. "This is my first event in Pennsylvania and I'm excited to do the winter things like snowshoeing, trapping and geocaching. I haven't done any of those before."
Nicky Leigey, an archery instructor for Women in the Outdoors, came from Clearfield to assist with the event and was hopeful that the event would spark a greater interest for women all over.
"I hope that they find and gain some knowledge, are more comfortable, and can do things in the outdoors. This event is really about women finding independence in the outdoors," she said.
Jory and Kristen Giger are the husband-wife duo that, in conjunction with Leslie Smith of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), helped to establish the local winter event. Jory, the president of the Kinzua Longbeards chapter of the NWTF, talked about the importance of safety during the event.
"Safety is paramount here," he said. "We don't want to risk any accidents which is why we had to cancel the ice fishing due to unsafe ice conditions. The ladies look out and see a couple guys out there (on the ice), but it's our job to explain to them why we won't let them out there."
With ice thickness barely reaching three inches, conditions fell below the recommended four inches required for safe ice fishing.
Kristen Giger, a biologist for the NWTF, and Smith, the PA outreach coordinator, discussed the challenges they faced this year. "The base challenge is always whether or not Mother Nature is going to cooperate," she said.
"To get participants to want to come out here and freeze," added Smith. "We want to educate women to enjoy the outdoors; to inspire them. There are so many single women who we want to teach to enjoy the outdoors so they can share it with their children."
Despite the cancellation of the ice fishing, participants were able to enjoy the other events offered including Don Watts' presentation on winter bird watching. "Binoculars, a field guide, good clothing, and a good vehicle," Watts told those in his class, "those are the basic things you'll need for winter bird watching."
Jory Giger said it is his hope that the winter event eventually reaches the popularity of the summer event, which attracts between 150 to 200 people. "It's only the second year," he said. "Each year we keep getting better and better. Chapman State Park has been a great partner and host. They've been very accomodating and always have good facilities for us to use."

April 2 morning skate quotes: Dustin Brown
On Robyn Regehr:
"I think the best way for me to put it was the same way when we got Mitchie – I played against him a lot in Calgary. He's one of those guys I didn't like playing against. The way I play, he was hard to play against, and that's a good thing for our team. He's big, he's strong, and the best way to put it is I didn't like playing against him, so I don't think many guys will."
On Regehr providing physicality in the absence of Greene and Mitchell:
"Not only that, but along the lines of those guys is he's just a big body [and] takes up more space. You'll notice on the PK down low, especially with with Greener and Mitchie, they're just so big. They can cover so much area with blocking shots and stick and he's in that same group."
On whether the acquisition indicates that the team is loading up for another Stanley Cup run:
"We've had internal discussions as a team about doing what is necessary to put ourselves in the position to defend the Stanley Cup. Obviously the trade deadline and the next 24 hours is part of that process, and we'll see where it goes. But I like the addition."
On earning the exact number of points at home and on the road during his career:
"If you look at my numbers, they're consistently always in the same range. I mean, everyone goes through hot streaks and cold streaks, but my game generally doesn't alter all that much from game to game or month to month. It's pretty consistent. At least, I think it is, what you're going to get day in and day out with me. So that maybe translates into the evenness of points."
On whether having "heavy", two-way forwards contributes to road success:
"I think it goes a long way. You look at some teams around the league that have superstars at one end of the rink, our best player is not only our best offensive player but our best defensive player with Kopi. And that says a lot about the type of game we play and the type of players we have."

DETROIT, MI -- Sunday was an exceptional day for most any activity on Belle Isle in Detroit. The new state park was bustling with cookouts, joggers, swimming and bicyclists.
In the wake of criticism against state police and Department of Natural Resources enforcement on the island, which some called heavy-handed, nearly all island visitors who spoke to MLive Sunday said they had no problems and were pleased with the presence.
Others said they were holding off until later in the summer to form an opinion, but no one had negative comments.
State police and DNR did have at least three young men handcuffed on a curb near the entrance Sunday afternoon. An officer at the scene declined to say why they were detained.
On the north end of the island, two troopers walked slowly back and forth in the grass near the Detroit River looking intently for something. It wasn't contraband. A man had lost his car key and troopers were helping him search for it.
Several groups were having parties and said troopers did check to make sure their paperwork and permits were in place.
"I appreciate they are stepping up their efforts because sometimes it used to get a little wild out here ... but 98 percent of the time it was nice even before they came," said Dino Martin, 49, of Detroit, while grilling chicken and various other meats for an annual birthday party on the island. "If just their presence makes people feel OK, then that's OK. If they start singling people out, then that's the problem.
"It's new. I think after a while once we get used to it -- if they fix it like they say they are -- then people will start to appreciate it."
Ernestine Addison, 58, of Wixom, said "I like the change."
"It will bring back ... the canoes, the zoo, the horse riding and all that," she said. "And to me, it keeps the riff raff out."
That term "riff-raff" is one that touched a nerve with some after City Clerk Janice Winfrey claimed she'd been pulled over on Good Friday while driving with her mother and told by a trooper he was trying to keep the "riff raff" out.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said he was pulled over in February for going 30 mph on a 20 mph stretch of road, however he was let go with a warning and said trooper treated him respectfully.
Tawanna Simpson, who is black, had a run-in with state troopers over a month ago that she feels was racially motivated but is happy that state police and DNR representatives seem open to addressing the problems. Offiials from both agencies met with her oganization, Detroit Bike Riders United, and other groups advocating for bicyclist rights on Thursday.
While riding with hundreds of others on a Slow Roll bike ride, two troopers, one white one black, singled Simpson and about three other out of the pack, she says.
"They told me I needed a reflector on the back of my seat ... also you need reflectors on yourr pedals ... and if I was going to be on the island at dusk, I would need a headlight," she said.
After meeting with police last Thursday, Simpson said she was told those strict guidelines for bicyclists won't be required going forward.
"What they want to do is sit down with us and talk about how we can work together and not exclude bicycling from the island," Simpson said . "What I gather from the meeting is they did not properly educate the people of Detroit of what they expect on the island.
"They need to really come into the community and find out how the island was used if they really want to keep it an island for all Detroiters."
Most of the stops, according to police, have so far been for speeding or other driving infractions, like expired vehicle registrations.
One vsitor on Sunday, who asked not to be named, said if they are going to enforce speed limits so strictly, officials should post more speed limit signs.
"They're doing their jobs," said Addison. "Everyone wants to be safe when they come out here. If you want to be beligerent and stuff ,toss them out.
"I came staight on through. They didn't harass. Some people, they know they're guilty."
Most people agreed the island wasn't as rowdy as it sometimes has been.
"It's peaceful," said Jay Mason, 51, of Detroit, whose family paid $50 to rent out a small pavilion for a cookout. In the past, rental was free on a first-come-first-served signup basis.
Noticeably gone from the island -- for the most part -- was alcohol. Although it has never been legal, it wasn't a rule hevily enforced by Detroit police in the past.
One group was seen openly drinking beer from bottles along the north end of the island, but most others were just cooking, relaxing and socializing without alcohol.
Alcohol is allowed by permit. A Detroit Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity openly consumed beer and other alcohol while playing loud dance music under the pavilion at comfort station no. 8 during their annual party at Belle Isle Sunday.
"We haven't had any trouble," said Phi Beta Sigma member Leonard Harden, 30, of Detroit. "The state police actually came over and helped to make sure everything was in order."
"It's actually going a little bit better than last year. Last year we had parking problems, we had police problems, but this year, everything is perfect."

Every day we get a note from someone saying some celebrity or the other is wearing some designer or the other and it's all a big ye-awn.
Famous + Fashion = $$$$$$ A perfectly fine equation for the designer and celeb but it all adds up to a big fat zero for the rest of us. Are we going to wear something just because Ms. Celebrity of the Day does? Natch not.
But it seems Minnie Driver dropped by the new Sameunderneath shop last night on 23rd and bought a bamboo, short sleeve, scooped-neck, garnet red, T-shirt for $65.
So here's the thing: We love Sameunderneath. (See story below.) And we adore Ms. Driver on screen. Something about that combo of semi-quirky jaw, raspy voice, wild curls and the fact that she reminds us of an Irish friend last seen in Bath, England under tragic circumstances. Anyway, we once briefly met the glam and glorious Ms.M.D. at Fashion Week in New York and told her we were from Gus Van Sant's hometown newspaper and she stopped to give us a cute quote so we think she is super swell and we will buy that dang garnet colored T-shirt because we want to BE JUST LIKE MINNIEEEEEEEEE!!!
Oops. We're supposed to get five minutes with Sarah Jessica Parker tomorrow at Macy's so we better get this starstruck thing out of the way now.

Clothes talk. And most have very little to say.
But Ryan and Amy Christensen want the clothes they make to say something meaningful.
"We want people to see that despite our differences, we are all the same underneath," Ryan Christensen said.
He launched the Sameunderneath label eight years ago by selling screen-printed T-shirts from the trunk of his car. By Thursday evening, as the sun sank behind hills, the Christensens, two parents and five employees were elbow-deep in boxes, unpacking shipments of dresses, hoodies and shirts to fill their second Sameunderneath Portland store, this one on Northwest 23rd Avenue. The brand of simple separates also is sold in approximately 100 stores in the U.S. and abroad, worn by men and women as charmed by the Sameunderneath story as by the styles.
"All of us, black, white, poor, rich . . . we judge a book by the cover. We do it intentionally or unintentionally, but we do it," Ryan Christensen said.
Designer logos, saggy pants and three-piece suits might signal status and subcultures, but Christensen wanted Sameunderneath to communicate a larger concept.
The label would stand for accepting and respecting differences in race, religion, nationality and sexuality; the fabrics and manufacturing would be good to the Earth; the fashions would look good and feel great; and the abstract squiggle S-U-N (for "same under neath") logo would work as a not-so-secret handshake for a subculture of all things good.
"We want to change the world," he said. "Fashion is our weapon of choice."
"It's a crazy big goal to think that clothing can do that," Amy Christensen said.
Crazy. Naive. Idealistic. But somehow sweet. And it has resonated with buyers.
"One of the reasons we first bought it was the whole philosophy behind the product," said Simon Chan, senior men's buyer at Mario's in Portland. "The other is the product itself. It's all about simple lines and how it feels on."
The Earth-friendly bamboo fabrics feel softer than silk. Organic cotton hoodies, short jackets or printed polo shirts are timeless, not trendy.
"They've done a great job of combining the green element, the use of bamboo fabric with fit and comfort and style. We've had customers of all ages who've come in and bought their dresses and T-shirts," said Marc Murfitt, general manager of Mercantile in Portland. "Their bamboo fleece has been fantastic. We've had reorder after reorder after reorder."
Customers are willing to pay $60 for limited edition print T-shirts and $225 for simple dresses because they also are buying into the concept of clothes that are conscientious from the drawing board to manufacturing, right down to the soy ink-printed hangtags made of recycled paper.
"Our (core) customers are young urban creatives who understand the little things you do can impact the world greatly," Ryan Christensen said.
"We were doing sustainability before it was cool. At trade shows they thought we were a kind of a granola brand," he said. "Suddenly, it's cool and everyone is sustainable."
This year even Vogue magazine devoted an issue to green fashion; Sameunderneath, Nau and Anna Cohen of Portland all got mention.
"It's working in our favor," Ryan Christensen said, "but we don't want green to overshadow our bigger message."
He loves the stories he hears from customers such as the hip-hop teenager, a Jefferson High School student, who found himself at a grocery store standing near "an old lady with a big rock on her hand, a lady from the (West) Hills," Christensen recalled. They eyed each other.
"I've been in the same situation myself, as a young black man, where someone is clutching her handbag," he said.
The woman and the teen didn't speak. But they nodded, one acknowledging the other. They were both wearing Sameunderneath.

WATCH: Shirtless Gays Pick Songs of the Summer
Well, this summer has been nothing but chaos, musically-speaking. Nobody seems to be able to agree on the official song of the summer, which means all of our parties have been pointless.
Is it that Daft Punk song about Lucky Charms? That Robin Thicke song? The theme song to Blossom? Somebody, please settle this. We popped over to Summertramp, L.A.'s summertime pool party, to ask a bunch of shirtless men what they're listening too. The answers may surprise you. (Spoiler: they probably won't.)
All photos by Matt Baume.
Murray, Brian, Shirleen, Kyan, and Cory Lee are Miley Cyrus fans, and love "We Can't Stop."
Was that the Gathering of The Gay Juggalos?
This is such an embarrassing list. That many adult people seriously listen to Miley Cyrus? And not a single vote for Get Lucky? Or Vocal (Pet Shop Boys)? Didn't gay men used to be the taste-makers, on the cutting edge of every trend? I weep for this.
Brittany Spears, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus…Are you serious? Do that many adult gay men really listen to the same music as middle school girls?

Like real estate sales, the impact of this winter's first major storm will depend on location, location, location.
"It is difficult to predict. It depends on where people are," said CBS 3 meteorologist Nick Morganelli, media partner with the Republican and Masslive.com.
The Springfield area is expected to see two or three inches of snow fall before the storm switches to mixed precipitation and later rain while Greenfield will likely see six inches to a foot and a limited amount of mixed precipitation, he said.
The Berkshires, especially the hills, are likely to see about a foot of snow and little or no rain.
Morganelli warned that Thursday morning's commute could be difficult no matter where people are.
Seeing predictions of the storm starting any time after 7 p.m., area communities called for parking bans starting at about 7 p.m. Wednesday and running through late afternoon Thursday. In Springfield, parking on the even side of the street is banned until 7 a.m. Thursday and on the odd side of the street from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday. Holyoke is banning parking on the even side of any street until 5 p.m. Thursday and all on-street parking is prohibited in Granby.
Most Department of Public Works started preparing early for the storm.
Northampton, where six to eight inches of snow was predicted, drivers were scheduled by 6 p.m. Wednesday and plows were on the trucks ready to go well before that.
"I've seen a bunch of different predictions so we play it by ear. We bring everyone in and when there is two inches on the ground we will start plowing. Sanders and salters will be out as soon as it starts," Department of Public Works Superintendent Richard Parsiliti said.
Springfield Public Works Forman Matthew Pianka said sanding and salting on hills and major arteries was to begin as soon as the storm started. Employees came in around 7 p.m.
After that, Springfield employees would do whatever was necessary to clear roads depending if there was more snow or it the storm switched to a wintry mix early, he said.
"We are planning for snow but we are hoping for more rain," said William D. Fuqua, public works general superintendent for Holyoke.
Forecasts put the line for snow and rain right over Holyoke, so Fuqua said he called in nine drivers to come to work at 7 p.m. so they could start treating roads as soon as necessary.

Anna Bellum led three Zias in double figures with 22 kills, and the Eastern New Mexico University volleyball team staved off a late New Mexico Highlands comeback in a five-set victory Tuesday night at Greyhound Arena.
Eastern (4-7) got 17 kills from Emilie Rodman and 11 from Kelley McGinty in a 30-25, 21-30, 30-24, 24-30, 15-12 win over the visiting Cowgirls in a rubber match. Highlands (6-5) split the previous two matches with ENMU, both at Las Vegas, N.M.
The Zias were inconsistent in their long-awaited home opener, but the Cowgirls returned the favor. Second-year Highlands coach Bruce Todd said his team's biggest problem was that it would pick and choose when to play its best volleyball.
Veteran Zia coach Mike Maguire could relate.
"I think this past weekend, when we went down to Lawton (Oklahoma for the Southwest Regional Challenge), they kind of came together as a unit," Maguire said, "and that's what helped them out in the fifth game.
"We're not consistent by any means."
The Zias never pulled away from NMHU throughout the match, and saw a 21-19 lead in the fourth game slip away at the hands of the Cowgirl front line. Nikki Revling, a 6-foot-1 middle blocker, helped force a fifth game with a pair of aces and a kill during a game-ending 6-1 run.
Audra Williams led four Cowgirls in double figures with 24 kills, while Kindy Peterson had 18 and Christina Carle 16. Revling had 14 kills to go with a match-high four service aces.
The Zias capitalized on Highlands errors late in the fifth and deciding game, as a Bellum kill highlighted a 7-0 run to make the score 14-9. Highlands rallied with three straight points, but gave up the final point on a hitting error.
"They just make a little surge there at the end and we just didn't have an answer," Todd said. "They were aggressive, they took that game from us."
The Zias go back on the road this weekend for the Lone Star Conference Crossover Tournament in Wichita Falls, Texas. Next week, the Zias start a four-match homestand, something Maguire is looking forward to.
"I am," Maguire said, "but those teams that are coming in are playing pretty good, so we've got to get our stuff together."

text: I saw on the lauer custom weaponry site that clear Duracoat is now available. They claim you can spray it right over a blued (or any finish for that matter) gun and have all the benefits of duracoat protection preserving your factory blue (or other finish). Has anyone used it? I really got my attention because I love the blued pistols I own. Unlike a lubricant that would just prevent rust the duracoat, if their claims are true, will also fends off holster wear and scratches. In theory I think it would work, kinda like a clearcoat over car paint. I like the idea of a permanent/semi-permanent protective overcoat. Anyone have experience with it or a similar product that provides long term wear resistance?

You see this lady? A peaceful looking lady minding her own business whilst cooking? She's a Romany Gypsy – or Roma.
Being Roma doesn't automatically mean that you come from Romania or anywhere else that people think the Roma come from. Roma is a race, a lifestyle – not a nationality. Each Roma community has its own ways and its own language, depending on place of origin. No two Roma families are the same.
So imagine my shock and distress when I commented on a news thread and received this lovely message in response:
"You and your family should go back to wherever it is you crawled out from. You're not English and you don't belong here."
I spelled the above quote correctly; the abuser didn't.
I have never experienced racial abuse before. Not ever. Not being a racist myself, it never entered my head that a show such as Benefits Street could cause anybody to hate my ancestory – the ancestory that my maternal family and I are so very proud of. To hate me without even meeting me, just because of my maternal roots.
I have news for the racist bigots out there. I am English. I was born to an English mother and a Welsh father – in England.
I am also Roma. I was born due to an honourable and dignified bloodline. Whatever a racist might think, I can have these three (and more) bloodlines all at once.
I have blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes. If I chose not to tell you of my Roma ancestory you would never know. But why on earth should I hide who I am and where I came from?

'We don't have them anymore," said the ShopRite employee in his green shirt and yellow emblem.
"You ran out?" I replied with great surprise. This is a megastore that could feed all the people in a small town for a month with the stock it has on the premises.
"Well, the water guns are with seasonal, and we turned over the display."
"Really?" It was the end of July.
"You can check. Maybe there are a couple of them left."
"Good luck," the employee called out as he headed toward the back of the store and the massive stock room.
I was baffled. My 6-year-old son's camp was having water day. Every camper was encouraged to bring in water toys.
Four weeks of camp remained. Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer, was more than a month away. Yet, the retail world had declared the summer over.
ShopRite, Wal-Mart, Target, et al. declared it was now "Back to School" season. I shouldn't have been surprised. Commercials, newspaper advertisements and online banners have been alerting us consumers to this new season for a little while now. In fact, they had been hinting at back-to-school season since the aisles were cleared of all things on the Fourth of July.
However, I was not prepared. Silly me — I still have an actual wall calendar.
I think back to my childhood days. Those days of yore when there were actually four seasons. How quaint!
On the first day of school, each teacher would give us students a list of what we required for our class. My mother would take my siblings and me to a mom-and-pop store. The store was packed with other mothers doing the same thing. When we left the store, I was ready to start the new school year with my new three-hole punch, protractor, pens and re-enforcements. Does this sound familiar?
That day was the first time I had thought about school supplies since the previous June, when I prayed that my ragged loose-leaf binder would not break and send my papers flying.
Yes, I know those days are gone. Gone with CDs, print books and wall calendars.
The change does not revolve simply around the retail world. No, no, no. The schools are in this too, sending out extensive lists way in the beginning of the summer. In addition to the pens, protractors and re-enforcements, we now have to get such items as tissues, paper towels and hand sanitizer. Who knew such items were now part of the back-to-school shopping list? Well, apparently Staples had some idea. They have a good price on the roll of paper towels! Just in time for back-to-school.
Of course, my wife and I will review the school supply list. We will buy each item and dutifully pack them away so our children are properly prepared for the first day of school. How will the education process move forward if my son does not have eight jumbo glue sticks?
Yes, we will do all that in good time.
However, this parent is not ready for summer to end. I like days of no homework, when the battle over bedtime is less urgent, and when the biggest decision is what time to head to the pool.
You see, I am going to enjoy each day of the summer. Take that, retail world.
As soon as we get back from our vacation, my wife and I will make sure we have all of our children's school supplies. I just hope they are still on the shelves. Because, you know, the retail world says that Halloween season is almost here. Who wants candy corn?
