On my Spotify Christmas playlist, I have the album "Holiday Sing Along With Mitch." I'm just barely too young to remember the "Sing Along With Mitch" TV show, but Dad had a couple of the albums, and I fondly remember hearing them on the record player at Christmas time, so it was a natural addition.
For those of you even younger than me, Mitch Miller, who died a couple of years ago at the ripe old age of 99, was a record company executive and producer who was, for a time, a household word because of his prime time NBC TV show, "Sing Along With Mitch," which ran from 1961 until 1964, with reruns making a brief reappearance in 1966. The show featured Miller leading a men's chorus, and various soloists and guest stars, in peppy standards with which the home viewing audience was invited to sing along, assisted by on-screen lyrics. Miller conducted with a scenery-eating grin and very mechanical-looking arm movements which were parodied by comedians of the time, such as Steve Allen and Stan Freberg.
I linked to this clip in 2010 after hearing of Miller's death, but here it is again:
If you are at all familiar with "Sesame Street," zip forward to about the 1-minute, 10-second mark to get a good look at the featured tenor in that chorus: Bob McGrath, one of two human cast members who's been with "Sesame Street" since its inception.
Occasionally, without warning, they'd slip a celebrity into the chorus as a little surprise cameo. Here's part 4 of the same show as the previous clip. If you zip to 2:54, you'll see a personality whose NBC show lasted a little bit longer than four years.

Today we'll discuss an advanced function concept called variable-length argument lists, and explain how to use dynamic function and variable names in PHP.
Until now, we have looked at parameters that are passed to custom functions to be statically defined (meaning once you decide on a set of parameters you are stuck with them until you change the declaration). Today, we'll discuss how you can create functions that define no parameters yet still function as expected when any number of parameters are passed to them. This concept of variable-length argument lists is made possible by a small family of built-in PHP functions:
func_get_arg(), and
func_* family of functions is a set of functions designed to run inside another function. Their purpose is to retrieve information regarding the arguments passed to the function in question. Because PHP allows you to pass parameters to functions that take no parameters in their definition, these functions can be used to create functions that take an unlimited number of parameters. For instance, consider the following snippet of code:
function dynamic_args() {
for($i = 0 ; $i < func_num_args(); $i++) {
echo "Argument $i = ".func_get_arg($i)."
";
dynamic_args("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");
Compared to earlier examples of functions, the example above seems incorrect because we are defining a function that takes no parameters yet we are calling the function and passing five parameters to it. As stated earlier, PHP will allow us to pass extra parameters to our functions without error -- our real interest is in the function itself.
In the above function, we are using two of the
func_* family commands to gather information regarding the parameters passed to
dynamic_args(). First, we use
func_num_args() to return the total number of arguments passed to
dynamic_args(). In this case, the total number of parameters passed was five. Then, from within the
for loop, we use the function
func_get_args() and pass the index
$i to it. When this is done,
func_get_args() returns with the value of the parameter which equates to the index provided. This process continues until our
for loop ends. The results of calling
dynamic_args() with the parameters we specified would be the following output to the browser:
Argument 0 = a
Argument 1 = b
Argument 2 = c
Argument 3 = d
Argument 4 = e
As you can see, through the use of these very powerful functions available to us, we are able to create functions that can accept an unlimited number of parameters with ease. We can also use this method to create functions that require one parameter followed by an unlimited number of additional parameters as shown below:
function implode_str($glue) {
$string = "";
for($i = 1; $i < func_num_args(); $i++) {
$string .= $glue;
$string .= func_get_arg($i);
return $string;
echo implode_str('-', 'This', 'is', 'a', 'test');
In the above example, we define a function
implode_str() that requires a single parameter
$glue. Then, inside of our function we use the same function calls as we did in our earlier example to create a string
$string based on the value of the extra arguments passed and the value of the
$glue variable. Note that our
for loop now starts off at 1 rather than 0. This is because we are declaring a single variable in our definition, so we will ignore it by only looking at variables passed after it that parameter. When the function is executed with the parameters above, its output will be
-This-is-a-test. This is just one of the many ways to mix and match function definitions with the
func_* family of functions to create variable-length argument lists.
Note: Variable functions and variables are a potential security risk if used improperly. Before using variable function calls or variables, it is important to consider possible security holes that could arise from malicious user input.
Beyond dynamic parameters, PHP also supports the ability to call functions dynamically, as well as use variables dynamically. That is, we can write scripts that call functions and access variables without knowing the names of the functions or variables until the script starts executing. We'll start with how this can be accomplished with variables first, and then conclude with a similar syntax to be used for executing functions.
It is possible to access a particular variable in PHP without even knowing its name until after the script starts executing. This is done through a special variable syntax that is defined as the following:
${<var name>} where the variable name is either a constant (such as "foo") or another variable containing a string representation of the name. Sound confusing? Why don't we look at some examples to help make things more clear:
Also in PHP Foundations:
$foo = "This is the variable foo
";
$bar = "This is the variable bar
";
$foobar = "This is the variable foobar
";
$foo_name = "foo";
$bar_name = "bar";
echo $foo;
echo $bar;
echo ${$foo_name};
echo ${$bar_name};
echo ${$foo_name.$bar_name};
Above is what appears to be a fairly easy-to-understand script that simply echos different variables to the browser. However, the last three echo statements are referring to very strange looking variables. Consider the first of the last three
echo statements. On this line, we are telling
echo to print the variable whose name is contained within
$foo_name. Because
$foo_name's value is "foo", the
echo statement will print the value of our PHP variable
$foo to the browser. Although the second of the three is basically identical, the last statement is a little different. Here, we use the string concatenation operator '
.' to combine the values of
$foo_name and
$bar_name to create the string "foobar" which we then use as the variable name for our last echo statement. The result of all of this is the following output:
This is the variable foo
This is the variable bar
This is the variable foo
This is the variable bar
This is the variable foobar
With this syntax, it is possible to write extremely complex scripts that are quite dynamic in nature with much less work then normally needed. Now that we have an idea on how to use variable variables, let's look at how to call functions based on the value of a variable.
Variable functions work on the same principal as variable variables. Basically given a variable containing a string representing a function in PHP, you can call the function simply by appending parentheses and any parameters to the end of the variable. For instance:
function myfunc($msg) {
echo $msg."
";
$func_name = "myfunc";
$func_name("Hello, this is a test");
will call the function
myfunc() and pass our message "Hello, this is a test" to it. We accomplish this task by calling the function through the use of the variable
$func_name that contains the actual name of the function
Beyond calling functions dynamically, it is also possible create functions dynamically. This can be done through the use of the
create_function() function in PHP. The syntax of this function is as follows:
string create_function(string args, string code);
When called, we pass to the function two parameters. The first,
args, is a string that contains the code that would normally go between the parentheses of a function declaration. The second parameter code is a string representation of actual PHP code that consists of what normally would be the body of a given function. When the
create_function() is called, it creates the function as specified and returns a variable containing the name of that function that you can then use to call the function. Let's take a look at an example:
// Normal function definition
function my_normal_func($foo, $bar) {
echo "Hi, PHP!";
// Dynamic function definition
$func_name = create_function('$foo, $bar',
'echo "Hi, PHP!";' );
In this example, we create two functions that are identical in output. In the first example, we declare prior to the script's execution and we name it
my_normal_func(). In the second example, we create the function with a call to
create_function(). When we execute the script, the function will be created and the name assigned to the function will be stored in the variable
$func_name and will have the exact same code and parameters as the function we declared. This process can be useful in a number of circumstances (such as creating callback functions or data validation functions), and it is recommened that you read the manual entry on
create_function() available on php.net for more information on how to use this function in everyday coding practice.
With PHP, it is possible to create extremely complex, nearly self-creating programs that produce excellent results with a minimal amount of development time. As with almost every powerful tool, improper and careless use of dynamic programming can result in serious security leaks. Never base dynamic code on direct input from the user without first checking to ensure it contains no harmful or malicious code before creating functions or executing commands (particularly dynamic ones) based on it. Until next time -- happy coding!

The national flu outbreak may be leveling off, but cases are still on the rise in some areas.
Forty-seven states have reported flu activity, including Wisconsin, where the flu season started especially early. The country's west coast has seen increased cases.
Thomas Haupt, the state's surveillance coordinator, said up to 50 people are hospitalized daily across Wisconsin.
"You can't even walk, so I knew I had to go to the ER," Michele Raymond, a woman recovering from the flu, said. "The shortness of breath is the scariest part. You can't catch it, no matter what you do."
Experts say the flu shot is still the best defense against the sickness, as it protects from several strains and is 62 percent effective.

In with the old, looking for gold..Mystery Player #5
I always liked Baylor. I'm not saying that when he left the Rockies it wasn't his time, because it was.
You can say what you want about his record with the Rockies, 440-469. Don Baylor is a good dude with a great attitude.
Now I've got a chance at snaggin an autograph from "The Don". I have listened to several radio interviews with Baylor over the last year, and he had expressed interest in returning to the Rockies in some capacity.
Here's a quote from Clint Hurdle.
"We didn't do this as a feel-good thing, we did it because [Baylor] is the right man to help out our offense. I know I learned from him as his hitting coach. His experience fits for us as a former manager, hitting coach and a player. From team accomplishments and individual accomplishments, he's very special.
There's a presence to Don that's very evident, and I feel he has a sense of unfulfilled business here in Colorado."
I personally believe it was a feel-good thing, but I also believe Baylor is the right man for the job. So it's a win/win situation for the Rockies.
The seasoned Baylor was hired as the new batting coach, along with some other new meat.
Included in this mass hiring were, Rich Dauer (third base coach), Jim Wright (bullpen coach), and Jim Tracy (bench coach).
The new strength and conditioning coach will be Brian Jordan. Brian has spent the last nine years as the strength and conditioning coordinator for the Rock
Only one clue today. This player's initials spell out a mode of transportation. This is an easy one.
I'll be "back" in a little bit to "see" how you're doing…D
Ok, one guy figured out who the Mystery Player # 5 is. It was Jere, but he wouldn'tt say who it was so someone else could have a chance.
The Mystery Player was James Edwin Tracy, the Rockies new bench coach.
His initials spell JET, which is a mode of transportation.
Thanks for playing…D
2 Comments
Okay–I got it. But I'm not gonna say it. Someone else can win this one. I'll just say he stole 2 bases in his first year, 1 in his second. And his debut was in the month of July. Man, it took me several modes of transportation before I got it–I even looked up the name of Denver's mass transit system and tried that before I thought of the correct mode. Nice one!
It's not hard to tell that you write these kinds of trivia Jere, your methods of research are practiced, your on it dude. Your right as usual. I thought by making this player the mystery player, it would be a fitting tribute to the entry I just did.
Nice job Jere…That was a clue y'all…D

Equine Ration Balancer Pellets Explained
- Sep 6, 2015
- Topics:
When fed in conjunction with a high-quality forage source, ration balancer pellets can supplement the amino acids, vitamins, and minerals a horse needs without adding extra calories to his diet.
Photo: The Horse Staff
As research has advanced our understanding of equine nutrition, we now know more about how best to meet our horse's nutritional needs. One feed option that owners may notice on the shelves of their local feed store is a ration balancer. This pelleted feed option might have a place in your horse's diet, so let's explain how it is used.
Originally formulated for the growing horse, the ration balancer--in conjunction with a high-quality forage source--can provide the amino acids, vitamins, and minerals a horse needs without the excess calories that could put young horses at higher risk of developmental orthopedic diseases
In addition to young horses, mature equids able to maintain their weight on an all-forage diet of hay or pasture--termed "easy keepers"--can also benefit from a ration balancer. Depending on the species of forage provided and geographical location where it's grown, protein, vitamin, and mineral deficiencies might be presence; ration balancer pellets are often used to offset these deficiencies.
In addition, the ration balancer pellet is a good option for horses that cannot tolerate high sugar and starch levels in some grains, such as those with Cushing's disease (pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction or PPID, laminitis, and hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP). The lower glycemic index of a ration balancer also has the potential to lessen a horse's hyperactive behavior.
Ration balancer pellets typically have lower feeding rates than regular concentrates. Because ration balancer pellets contain concentrated levels of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, most mature horses can get the necessary nutrients by consuming one to two pounds of pellets per day.
The crude protein level in ration balancer pellets generally range from 28-32%. Due to the lower feeding amount, the total protein consumed by a horse on a ration balancer is not much different than a horse consuming recommended amounts of a 12% crude protein feed.
When feeding ration balancer pellets, ensure the rest of the horse's diet is comprised of high quality forage--either grass or pasture. When weight reduction is necessary, compliment the ration balancer pellet with an appropriate forage source.
Take Home Message
The ration balancer pellet is a diverse feed option for all classes of horses. With a smaller feeding rate and lower sugar and starch levels, it can be incorporated into any feeding program with a high quality forage source. Contact a veterinarian or consult an equine nutritionist if questions about integrating a ration balancer in your horse's diet arise.

Not to sound elitist or sexist but i do find that male gamers are significantly better at pvp and usually pve or things that require competitiveness, planning and concentration. On the other hand i find girl gamers tend to migrate to professions like cooking (not joking), mount collecting, and pet collecting, which I can never seem to get into. I'm not saying that girls cant be good at raiding or pvp/pve, they definitely can, but the majority tend to fall into the mount collector/cooking category.
You sir are wrong.
The night comes, wrapping the day in a cocoon-like shroud saving it for the time of reincarnation when the sun breaks this soft cover of darkness and the dawn takes over the horizon, so has a new day been born. Good night people, see you at dawn <3
Sticks and stones break my bones but it's the words that make me cry.

The North American Consumer Protection Investigators, an association of government consumer protection investigators, released its survey of the most plaguing customer complaints. Each year, the group asks consumer agencies about what they hear from consumers.
Each year, the group asks consumer agencies about what they hear from consumers. Here are the topics that frustrated consumers this year:
10. Household Goods
If you sent in a piece of furniture or an appliance for a fix up, you may have seen it come back with minimal improvements. Household goods also didn't work as advertised or were never delivered.
9. Fraud
Consumers complained about a range of scams, including fake checks, bogus sweepstakes and lotteries and grant offers.
8. Health servicesPractitioners without licenses, misleading claims and unmet expectations were common complaints for health care customers.
8. (tie) Internet Sales
Shoppers griped of deceptive practices from online retailers as well as failed deliveries.
Some online shoppers fell prey to free trial offers that resulted in high charges, while others were duped by fraudulent magazine sales.
7. Home Solicitations
Problems with home solicitations moved up the list in 2012. Consumers griped about misrepresentations from door-to-door salespeople, telemarketers and mail solicitations, as well as violations of the "do not call" registry.
6. Landlord/Tenant
When complaining about their landlords, renters reported unhealthy or unsafe housing conditions, deposit and rent disputes, illegal eviction tactics and a failure to make repairs.
5. Services
People who hired lawyers, real estate brokers and other service people had grievances about their help not having proper licenses, misrepresenting their service or doing shoddy work.
4. Retail Sales
Shoppers listed a range of complaints, including false or deceptive advertising, defective merchandise and problems with rebates, coupons and gift cards.
4. (Tie) Utilities
Consumers singled out service and billing disputes with a variety of providers, including phone, cable, satellite, Internet, electric and gas companies.
3. Credit/Debt
Borrowers complained of billing and fee disputes, mortgage-related fraud, predatory lending, illegal or abusive debt-collection tactics and questionable credit repair services.
2. Home Improvement/Construction
Home owners griped of shoddy work, as well as failure to start or finish the work altogether.
1. Auto
Issues with auto sales once again topped the list. Car shoppers reported misleading advertising for new and used cars, faulty repairs, leasing and towing disputes and getting suckered into buying lemons.

150th Wayne County Fair: as fun and informational as ever!
August 7, 2012 —
Jim Watson Jr. (Dunn's Sawmill and Logging) and Brittany Schwartz (Timber Wolf Logging) power their way to first place during the Jack and Jill Crosscut competition in which a team including one male and one female make one complete cut in a 12-inch diameter pine log. The win occurred on August 4 during the 29th Woodsmen's Competition at the Wayne County Fair in Honesdale.
The competition is sponsored by the Wayne Conservation District (WCD) and Wayne County Fair Board. It tests the skills of men and women in categories such as chainsawing, tree felling, crosscut saw and axe throwing. To promote safety and support the region's wood industry, WCD regularly offers Soren Erikksson's Game of Logging safety training program. Contact WCD's Paul Reining at 570/253-0930 or firstname.lastname@example.com for details.

Reviews for this host's other properties
I would say my comment for the apartment is rather neutral. The apartment itself is really as it mentioned on the info, except it is next to Yau Ma Tei station not Mongkok (only few step walk). Once you get in the apartment and get the key it was all good for whole period. The problem is before you get the key to the apartment. There is a gate on the entrance that require password which of course you will not have it yet. It is more or less ok if it is during the day because there are some old security guy that probably help you out. But during the night, I could imagine that you will get in trouble find the way in. Second is (from my opinion) the owner doesn't seem to understand the senses of renting apartment to other people. I arrived at the apartment find my way pass the security door and to the apartment. Finally found out that no one there. I have to run around find the way to contact her even though I tell her in advance what flight I took and when I arrived. Luckily an hour later there someone show up (I think a friend of her who live in the apartment) then we could manage the check in process...and of course all this base on "nobody speak English theme"...
I would say the owner should think of their guess more serious if she want to rent her apartment.

No. 2: Jessica Simpson/Britney Spears/Jennifer Lopez/Paris Hilton
When it comes to these ladies, it is hard to pick the worst big screen offender.
There sometimes seems to be a trend in entertainment where singers want to be actors and actors want to be singers. This fits Simpson, Lopez and Spears, as all are pop stars that transitioned from singing to making less-than-stellar films.
Paris Hilton is similar, but she still seems to be famous without having accomplished a great deal in the entertainment world.
As is the case with many other actors and actresses throughout entertainment history, people like these ladies draw fans to theaters because of their media presence. However, they would hardly be described as believable actresses who create wonderful films.
Still, there is one man who probably receives more criticism than anyone else when it comes to movie performances ...
No. 1: Keanu Reeves
It isn't as if Keanu is trying to be a poor actor. For whatever reason, Reeves has just come across as someone who is unable to convince the audience of his acting ability.
Keanu is selling, but no one is buying.
Perhaps it was his goofy portrayal of Ted "Theodore" Logan in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" or his forced performance as FBI agent Johnny Utah in "Point Break."
Reeves has been a part of many commercially successful films including "The Matrix" franchise, but there are enough films that make him appear to be extremely uncomfortable as an actor.
Few films illustrated this more than the Shakespearean film "Much Ado About Nothing," where he stumbles his way through the portrayal of character Don John. It probably isn't Keanu's fault, but for some reason he just doesn't come across as believable on the silver screen.

Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai reads a book as she recuperates at the The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
For Malala Yousufzai, the 15-year-old Pakistani girl shot by the Taliban for her activism, thousands of well-wishers have helped her heal.
"She wants me to tell everyone how grateful she is and is amazed that men, women and children from across the world are interested in her well-being," her father, Ziauddin Yousufzai, said in a statement released by Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in the U.K. Malala is being treated by team that includes staff from Queen Elizabeth and Birmingham Children's hospitals.
"We deeply feel the heart-touching good wishes of the people across the world of all cast, color and creed. They have helped my daughter survive and stay strong," he said.
Malala has received money "for sweets," CDs, school books, clothing and jewellery, according to the hospital's statement.
She has also been flooded with thousands letters and messages, including one from a 6-year-old who wrote, "I have heard about you being hurt by baddies. I think you are very brave and I am sad that you are not allowed to go to school and I don't think it's fair. I think girls should go to school because otherwise they would be stupid and would not know anything and it's fun to learn things."
Wrote another: "You have inspired me to have fun and do well at school because, like you said, not all girls get to go to school. I hope your dreams come true."
One month ago, on Oct. 9, a Taliban gunman shot Malala in the neck for her outspoken belief that girls should receive an education. That activism started in 2008, when she was about 11 years old. In 2009, she was approached to write a blog for the BBC about her life under Taliban rule. She wrote under a pseudonym.
"I was afraid of going to school because the Taleban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools. Only 11 students attended the class out of 27.
"On my way home from school I heard a man saying, 'I will kill you.' I hastened my pace and after a while I looked back if the man was still coming behind me. But to my utter relief, he was talking on his mobile and must have been threatening someone else over the phone."
Malala later gave television interviews and went on to win Pakistan's National Youth Peace Prize.
For a week after being shot, Malala remained in Pakistan. On Oct. 15, stabilized, she was flown to the U.K. for further treatment.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the United Special Envoy for global education, has dubbed Saturday, Nov. 10, "Malala Day" in Britain and he will deliver a petition with 1 million signatures to Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, urging him to improve access to education for both girls and boys.
(Messages or donations may be left for Malala here.)

Hi - I'm a new poster to this site. I'm mom to 5 week old (-1 week adjusted age) twin boys and having some breastfeeding issues. Both boys spent some time in the NICU so were bottle fed initially. Now that they are home, we are mostly breastfeeding but still giving supplemental bottles of EBM afte each feeding. Any advice on how to reduce/eliminate these bottles? both boys are gaining 9-11 oz a week so far, so weight gain isn't an issue, but they will nurse for an hour, and fall off the breast, but still seem hungry 15 minutes later. I often try to put them back to the breast, but they don't seem interested or only nurse for a few minutes. If I give the supplemental bottle, they usually chug it down and fall asleep immediately - I guess I'm just getting the impression that they aren't "full" or satisfied unless I feed the extra bottle. Am I just being paranoid? I really want to get rid of these bottles - it takes so much extra time to pump, prepare and clean bottles on top of breast feeding.
Also, should the breastfeeding sessions be taking an hour? It seems like a long time, but I know since my boys were premature they don't have the suction of bigger babies. Also, I'm using nipple shields (trying to get rid of those too) - is that something that is getting in the way of milk transfer? I'm trying hard to exclusively breastfeed and would really appreciate some advice on these issues.

- Title
- Gantry tilted tilted plane Feldkamp type reconstruction algorithm
- Author(s)
- Yan, Ming; Zhang, Cishen; Liang, Hongzhu; Zhang, Jingxin
- Abstract
- An approximate image reconstruction method for gantry tiled multi slice computed tomography (MSCT) is presented in this paper, which extends the Feldkamp cone beam reconstruction algorithm to overcome its inaccuracy problem caused by large cone angle. This is done by tilting the reconstructing planes to minimize the cone angle and optimally fitting the spiral segment of the source. It is shown that the image reconstruction performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of the Feldkamp reconstruction algorithm. Because a 3D projection data set is employed, the proposed algorithm can use the projection more efficiently than 2D approximate reconstruction algorithms. With the reduced distance from the X-ray source to the reconstruction plane, the maximum pitch value of the proposed algorithm is larger than that of conventional Feldkamp algorithm. The proposed algorithm can archive higher volume coverage speed than Feldkamp algorithm.

Taking an in-depth look at the state issues
On Nov. 6, or for those voting now during Ohio's early voting period, voters will see two (2) state issues on their ballots.
State Issue 1 is a question presented under Article XVI, Section 3 of Ohio's Constitution and simply put, says " shall there be a convention to revise, alter, or amend the Ohio Constitution?" As it stands, the constitution dictates that, every 20 years, voters speak as to whether or not they want to see a convention to revise, amend, or rewrite any or all parts of it. Since 1932, when the question appeared on the ballot, Ohioans have voted no on the issue and it now appears, for the fifth time on Ohio's general election ballot.
While critics, and this author, agree that Ohio's constitution could use an update, the issue is always who should do it and what should be the procedure behind it.
In 2011, the State Legislature created the Constitutional Modernization Commission which ultimately will have the power to propose changes to the constitution in what would hope would be an organized, well-thought out and concise manner.
The commission includes twelve (12) legislators, six each from the House and Senate and divided evenly amongst Democrats and Republicans. Those twelve will then chose another twenty(20) members from applicants throughout Ohio. This group is charged with submitting proposed changes to the entire General Assembly every two years, beginning at the end of this year and only after two-thirds vote to recommend those changes. Ultimately, Ohio's electorate would vote on the changes if each chamber of the General Assembly approves the same by a three-fifths vote.
While this is simply some background behind what is churning in Columbus, for now, Ohioans, by voting yes, state that they want the constitutional convention to look at making proposed changes. By voting no, Ohioans state that they do not want the same and support something similarly created as above-noted.
State Issue 2 is the more controversial one of the two and its language is whether or not Ohioans want " to create a state-funded commission to draw legislative and congressional districts." The 2010 census required the redrawing of Ohio's voting districts, or redistricting, all governed by Article 11 of the Ohio Constitution. It has been in place since the early 1970's and is currently performed by the Apportionment Board, comprising of the governor, secretary of state, auditor and a person appointed from each party by the House and Senate leaders. As of today, both of those appointees are state legislators.
State Issue 2 would create a state-funded commission of appointed officials and thus remove the authority of elected officials to perform the redistricting task.
The Commission, if approved, will consist of 12 members-4 affiliated with the largest political party, 4 affiliated with the second largest political party and 4 not affiliated with either of the two.
The process would begin with the Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court appointing 8 members from Ohio Appellate Judges and they then would chose the members of the Commission.
While the ballot language goes into further detail about the process, applicant appointments and exactly how the redistricting would work, Ohio voters simply need to first know simply the basics of how this full process could be implemented.
Proponents of state Issue 2 feel that the current system is wrought with politics and that the party in power, every ten years, is able to draw districts to help their candidates remain or be voted into office. Opponents of State Issue 2 feel that it removes the right of Ohio voters to have a voice in determining state legislative and Congressional district lines, while giving its authority to a new, unelected and bureaucratic commission.
By voting yes on Nov. 6, Ohioans agree to change the above current system and replace it with the new state-funded commission.
By voting no, Ohioans agree to keep the current system that we operate under pursuant to the Ohio Constitution.

Comeback 'Cats
BUCKHANNON – West Virginia Wesleyan overcame a 12-point halftime deficit to defeat Alderson Broaddus, 86-73, Tuesday night at the Rockefeller Center.
In a battle of former West Virginia Conference rivals, the Battlers controlled the opening half behind the play of Natalie Smith, who fired in 17 points over the first 20 minutes of action. The red-shirt senior guard was 5-of-8 from beyond the arc on the night, hitting all five of her treys in the first half.
AB led by as many as 19 points after a jumper by Lorin Clark made it 40-21 with 6:05 remaining before the Bobcats went on a 17-9 to end the opening half.
The run carried over into the second frame for the hosts and a free throw from Allie Brown tied the game at 57. Lauren Graham followed with a trey to give Wesleyan the lead for good with 12:13 left.
The Battlers came no closer than six points inside the final 10 minutes of regulation.
Brittany Williams tallied 21 points for the Bobcats to lead all scorers in the game. Brown added 17, Kacey Johnson 14 and Kike DeVane 10.
Williams and DeVane also grabbed eight boards.
Smith finished with 19 points in a losing effort.
Rachel Ashley followed with 14 points and seven assists, and Korie Maryo 10 points and seven rebounds.
The Battlers committed 26 turnovers, compared to 12 for the home team.
Wesleyan (1-1) will travel to Fairmont?State at 2 p.m. on Saturday, while the AB (0-3) visits Virginia State on the same day at 4 p.m.

Belpre Homecoming officials name entertainers
BELPRE – Entertainment for the 81st annual Belpre Homecoming, to be held Aug. 1-3, was announced Thursday during a press conference at the Belpre Area Chamber offices.
Homecoming chairman Kathy Gramkow, chamber executive director Karen Waller and Chuck Lipps of Rick Modesitt and Associates attended the announcement.
"We have all of the planning in place and exciting entertainment lined up for this year," said Gramkow, who is vice president of the chamber.
The headlining act for Friday at 8:30 p.m. will be country recording artist Joel Crouse, whose debut single "If You Want Some" is number 27 on the country music charts. Crouse has opened for established artists Rodney Adkins, Sara Evans, the Goo Goo Dolls, Toby Keith and Darius Rucker.
He will perform several show with The Band Perry this year and will open for Taylor Swift's Red Tour this summer.
"There is a lot of excitement around Joel Crouse," Waller said. "I think we got him at the right time, just before he hits it big."
Opening for Crouse at 7:30 p.m. will be Nashville singer/songwriter Brent Cobb, who has written songs for Luke Bryan, David Nail, Kellie Pickler and The Eli Young Band.
For the second year, Thursday night will be Youth and Family Night with Point Pleasant, W.Va., native Chase Likens performing at 8:30 p.m. Likens was a top 24 finalist on the 2012 season of American Idol and has opened for Lady Antebellum, Bucky Covington and Adam D. Tucker.
The Saturday entertainment will include local acts Jinxed at 8 p.m. with Titus Canbe at 9:30 p.m.
The chamber, which has always organized the homecoming weekend, has local and national music acts of all genres performing throughout the Thursday through Saturday event.
This year's homecoming also will feature carnival rides, inflatables and other entertainment.
Saturday's events will begin with the Belpre Mile Run, which had more participants last year than 2010, which had about 100 runners.
The parade up Washington Boulevard will be expected to draw a crowd with community members along the street for the 10 a.m. start.
There will be a vehicle collecting food for the Belpre Area Ministries food pantry during the parade that will also be available during the homecoming for donations from the public.
Parade participants are asked to donate canned goods and other non-perishable items.
Matinee pricing will follow at Civitan Park for the carnival.
The chamber will hold the first Duck Pluck fundraiser, offering cash prizes to winners whose ducks are "plucked" from the city swimming pool on Saturday.
Tickets will be $5 with the prizes totaling $1,000.
Sponsored exclusively by Belpre Savings Bank, tickets will be available at Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce office and local ticket outlets. Proceeds go to support homecoming events.

When it comes to movie villains, it is the highly intelligent characters who are often the scariest. The "Saw" franchise introduced moviegoers to John Kramer, also known as the Jigsaw Killer, or just "Jigsaw."
The Jigsaw character very methodically puts his victims through sinister tests in order to teach them an appreciation for life. What is ironic about Jigsaw is that he seems to have almost "good" intentions, though he has very twisted ways of demonstrating this.
Of all the modern movie villains, Jigsaw definitely ranks high when it comes to the "ick" factor of films. When evaluating movie villains, a good test is usually the number of people who cover their faces in certain scenes.
The one good thing about Jigsaw is that he doesn't typically eat his victims, unlike our next villain ...
No. 1: Hannibal Lecter
Few movie villains make people grimace and tremble like Hannibal Lecter in the film "Silence of the Lambs."
Hannibal is another example of a brilliant and methodical mind with a very creepy dark side. Some movie villains are sufficiently fictional and far-fetched enough that audiences can suspend their disbelief in order to deal with the horror. With Hannibal, people can feel that he is a bit too real for comfort.
In addition, there is the fact that Lecter is a cannibal. This makes him sufficiently evil in the eyes of most watchers because most individuals are unable to digest (no pun intended) the idea of one person eating someone else.
Needless to say, Hannibal ranks very high on the list of evil movie villains that truly make people shudder.

So about a week and a half ago I was diagnosed with thrush in my breasts after I reported severe pain during breastfeeding, my baby, thankfully, doesn't have it and I have been on medication the whole time while still continuing to breastfeed. The pain is far less but still present and I've pumped when I can't take it any more. My nipples seem to always be very tender and I try to put Lanolil on them after ever feeding. Does anyone know if the tenderness is the thrush still or is it more likely a symptom of a bad latch?
But the last few days, my baby, who's approx. three weeks old, has been insatiable at about 10-12 pm. I'll feed him both sides and he'll still be hungry and cry till finally my husband feeds him some formula, usually just an ounce and he goes to sleep. The rest of hte day and night when I feed him, one side is enough for two to three hours. Is this normal?

The one big thing I did NOT like was the FACT that the $50,000 dollars was for development ONLY, NOT for manufacturing you Invention.

Simone Biles was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, which she writes about in her new book, "Courage to Soar." But before she was able to disclose this information publicly herself, Russian hackers leaked her medical records earlier this year, supposedly in an attempt to discredit her Olympic wins due to medication she takes for the disorder. She speaks to Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric about this invasion of privacy, saying it was prompted by Russian "jealously" of American gymnastics dominance. "It is very disappointing how they would try to bring me, and my success, and my whole entire team down like that....They weren't accepting the fact that the US keeps winning, which is sad."

About this set: The 1962 Topps baseball set is one of the most challenging to collect in PSA graded form. It is very difficult to get PSA 8's and better on these wood grain vintage cards. I am now actively trying to complete this set as PSA graded. The best card that I have is the very tough superstar card of Frank Robinson in PSA 8. I really enjoy the '62 cards. I am amazed that there are several collectors on the registry that have such a high grade set in 1962. That is an amazing accomplishment. I welcome email contact from other collectors with similar interests.

Gas drilling friction in Town of Callicoon; Comprehensive plan resolutions tabled
January 23, 2013 —
Two resolutions related to the process of updating the comprehensive plan posted on the town's website, which prompted a large turnout to the Town of Callicoon meeting on January 14, were tabled.
The town supervisor, Tom Bose, said that the resolutions were tabled because they needed changes, but that did not reduce the frustration of many of the 50 or so people in attendance, because the resolutions indicate that the board intends to move forward with adopting a comprehensive plan that effectively invites gas drilling in the town.
The available evidence suggests that a significant majority of town residents opposes drilling. In comments submitted in response to a survey conducted in April 2010, 11 residents supported drilling, while 82 opposed it. At a public hearing in June 2012, nine speakers favored drilling while 32 opposed it. In a mail survey conducted by a private citizen last summer, 669 respondents marked the box that indicated they were opposed to drilling and fracking, 328 marked the box indicating they were in favor of it.
Further, according to Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy, "to date more than 450 stakeholders have gone on record as opposing the draft comprehensive plan's support for high-impact industrial activity, while only nine have gone on record in support of these provisions of the plan."
Before the comprehensive plan can be adopted, a public hearing must be held, which will take place on February 6 at 7 p.m. at the town hall in Jeffersonville.
The two tabled resolutions regarding the comprehensive plan process will probably be addressed at the regular town meeting on February 11. One of the resolutions would end the State Environmental Quality Review process, and the other would declare that the adoption of the comprehensive plan would not result in negative environmental impacts to the town.
The board may vote on the adoption of the plan itself at that time, or may postpone the decision to a later date. Whenever the vote comes, it seems likely that the board will include language that invites drilling, rather than banning it. In Sullivan County, the towns of Delaware and Fremont have taken action endorsing drilling, while Tusten, Bethel, Highland and Lumberland have banned it.
At the January 14 meeting, resident Kimberly Guise-Erdman stood and told the board she and her husband had sold their house in North Branch. She said, "The number one determining factor in making our decision has been how this town has been handling this issue of gas drilling."

Release and recovery; Narrowsburg family honored
May 30, 2012 —
When Brad Marchesin and his grandson Todd Bianchi announced on March 18 that they were going out for a Sunday afternoon motorcycle ride, Grandma Donna had Todd change into long pants, a leather jacket and boots. Little did she know that both her husband and her grandson would be critically injured moments later on Route 652, just over the Narrowsburg bridge.
They were struck by an impaired driver, Ida Campfield, who crossed into their lane causing severe injuries to them both. Campfield had reportedly been recently released from jail on a charge of drunken driving.
Brad's leg was crushed and later amputated, and Todd sustained a complex break to his femur and is sporting four pins that are fastened to a long metal plate on the outside of his leg.
Still, the 10-year old Sullivan West student, who is currently being tutored at home as he is unable to return to school yet, is upbeat. He says he loves to go up and down stairs with his walker, which is temporarily keeping his weight off of his leg, and admits that he was more concerned about the stitches than the two operations that he has undergone.
Brad is recovering, walking with the aid of a walker, and is itching to graduate to crutches and spend the summer at his camper at Countryside Campground, where community members have constructed an outdoor ramp and deck.
And Donna, while exhausted from the daily trips to CMC in Scranton, PA and transporting her grandson to his medical team at the Lehigh Valley Hospital, is extremely grateful.
"This is hitting me so deep, that people who I don't even know are so generous and giving," she said. "Unfortunately, it takes something like this to pull people together."
In one sense, the tragedy is a miracle and doctors are amazed that Brad is bouncing back with such vigor. "The doctors are telling him, 'You are incredible.' They didn't think he was going to make it." Todd is expected to make a full recovery.
And the community outreach continues on Saturday, June 9 at 3 p.m. with a Pig Roast at the Narrowsburg Inn. The rain date is June 10. The fundraising event will feature the barbecue, with salads, desserts, a cash bar, raffles, including a 50/50, and a DJ. The donation is $20. Those not able to attend the event can drop donations off at the Bank of America in Narrowsburg.
Tickets can be purchased by calling Donna at 845/252-3795 and are also available at the Narrowsburg Inn.
"It's terrible to feel so helpless when something like this happens to your family," she said. "But everyone's prayers and thoughts have been so amazing. I am extremely grateful."

Erythritol is a dream come true for sugar-free baking. If you follow a good recipe, you will have great results! It doesn't work for every baked good, but when it works, it's wonderful. I feel better eating something natural as opposed to Splenda, and have no ill effects from eating this like I do with Splenda/other sugar alcohols. A bit more expensive than other sweeteners, but worth the $$!
Works best to dissolve it in a hot liquid before adding it to the recipe. Otherwise a great product.
Easy to cook with
Posted by 5243301516067632458 on Sep 11, 2016
This product tastes fine, and is easy to cook with - I just use it like I would use sugar.
Don't buy this
Posted by Reviewer2220822 on Apr 13, 2016
I used to buy the NuNaturals NuStevia in bulk but the site no longer offered it. So I tried the erythritol. What a waste of money...it had very little sweetness unless you used a ton of it and I will not buy it again. It does have the granular feel of regular sugar though, if you are interested in that.
Made in China
Posted by Reviewer2720281 on Aug 24, 2015
No, you won't learn that from the product label or their website. They did confirm that to me by email.
Great Stuff
Posted by 4889245569214425794 on Mar 20, 2015
The best tasting natural sweetner out there - and one a lot of people just don't know about. Expensive for some reason even though it's made from actual sugar?? Perhaps if more peole purchase and use this stuff it will become available on shelves and the price become more reasonable. Thanks for carrying in bulk at the best price around :) Will be buying again when the bag I have runs out!
Posted by 5509810791301069698 on Jan 19, 2015
I never tried another brand of Erythritol but I am very happy with the texture and floavour this product provides my recipe. Always combine alternative sweeteners for the best resukts, I use this with stevia in baking.

Max: 250 characters
by Susan Tumarkin Goodman with an essay by Kenneth E. Silver
Marc Chagall (1887–1985), one of the foremost modernists of the 20th century, created his unique style by blending richly colored folk art with Cubism, Surrealism and imagery drawn from the Russian Christian icon tradition. This book explores a significant but neglected period in the artist's career, from the rise of fascism in the 1930s through the end of World War II, which he spent in Paris and then in exile in New York. Chagall's paintings from this time express the horror of the Holocaust as well as hope for the survival of his people and belief in the ultimate triumph of love.
Works use many of Chagall's familiar figures—the Artist, the Bride, the Clown, the Wandering Jew—set in unexpected, often wrenching scenes. These contrast with lavish flower paintings that reflect the artist's adoration of his wife, Bella. Less well known are Chagall's canvases showing the Crucifixion of Jesus, often depicted as a Jew, and his rarely seen, dreamlike poems, eleven of which are published here. Susan Tumarkin Goodman and Kenneth E. Silver analyze Chagall's complex iconography and phantasmagorical style, tracing his Jewish, Christian, autobiographical, French and Russian sources.
Susan Tumarkin Goodman is senior curator at The Jewish Museum. Kenneth E. Silver is professor of art history at New York University. Art © 2013 Artists Rights Society (ARS) / New York / ADAGP, Paris / Chagall®
