More Mike Marshall
1974 Cy Young Award winner Mike Marshall, who now resides near Tampa, researches the physics of pitching mechanics.
A year ago, I interviewed Dr. Mike Marshall, the 1974 National League Cy Young Award winner who later became a controversial advocate for a radical overhaul of pitching mechanics. You can learn more at his web site, DrMikeMarshall.com.
Since then, Dr. Marshall has contacted me from time to time for advice about video editing. He let me know yesterday that his first newly edited video is now available on YouTube. Click on the arrow below to watch the video.
I found particularly interesting how Mike put stripes or dots on a ball to make it easier for you to see in slow motion the rotation on a pitched ball.

Great to see that Dr. Mike is still go some involvement in the game.
Very interesting video. I wonder how many MLB or minor league pitching coahes have viewed this video…I know a few who should again and again.
Thanks for posting this video and your great interview with a former National League Cy Young winner.

Hi Kim,
My LO was off to a good start, but we got thrush after just 2 or 3 weeks. I lost my milk supply completely (3 times) before 2 mo. My son is 4 mo old now.
I'm not pumping or taking any supplements, but my son is almost completely off formula now - a bottle every other day for a bit now.
Have you tried switch nursing? It sounds like it would work out well for your LO. After her sucking pattern slows, switch breasts. Switch 3 - 4 times per feeding.
I used "mad nursing." I started out by setting a timer for every 5 minutes. Nurse 5 min on one side, 5 min on the other. Then drink a glass of water and take a break for 5 min. I basically did this around the clock, gradually lengthening feeding and break times. After a couple hours it was nurse 10 min each side, break for 10 min. The first day he only took two bottles(wow!) the next day only one.
I sort of invented it out of desperation, but it worked. If things continue, I won't need to buy another can of formula! cross fingers!
:hug I believe you can do it!

Keep you and your friends and family healthy and safe over the Fourth of July weekend with these tips, as compiled by Prevention.com.
Alternate your alcohol -- Make sure you have plenty of food in your stomach when sipping a few cocktails, and alternate each with a non-alcoholic beverage like water to stave off dehydration.
Swim in clear water -- A good rule of thumb? Only take a dip in clear, good-smelling water. At the lake, make sure there isn't any blue-green algae or slimy, smelly green film floating on the water. Some forms can produce a toxic bacteria that's bad for your health.
Don't forget the earplugs -- A new report from Loyola University Health System has found that the sounds of summer -- like fireworks and marching bands -- can damage your hearing. Toss some earplugs in your bag or cover your ears in a pinch.
Protect your pet -- Bringing Fido to the cookout? Remember to apply pet sunblock every three to four hours to the least hair-covered spots, and use pet-friendly insect repellants.
Eat safe (and healthy) -- Try to keep your cookout combos to 400 calories or less. If you're manning the grill, designate different plates for raw and cooked meat, and don't leave food in the sun for more than two hours.
Advance protection -- Applying sunscreen a couple times a day a few days in advance of significant sun exposure can improve your skin's protection from harmful rays.
Follow the heat and humidity rule -- When the temperature and humidity are both above 70, you enter the dehydration zone and must take extra precautions to drink plenty of water before, during and after activities, according to cardiologist Arthur Agatston.

Protein is a nutrient that helps the body build and repair tissue, especially muscles.
Good sources of protein include meat, eggs, nuts, tofu, beans, and seeds. Adults should consume at least 0.36 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight every day. A high-protein diet is a great way to facilitate weight loss because it's very filling, it helps with post-exercise recovery, and eating protein burns more calories than eating carbohydrates or fats, since it takes more work to digest.

my friend had a really hard time getting started with pumping. If you keep it up, you'll get there.
my friend had a really hard time getting started with pumping. If you keep it up, you'll get there.

A year on Mama's milk and still loving it
My baby also gets distracted easily, especially when there are people around and if I'm talking (even on the cell phone). If my husband is near, she'll keep pulling off the breast and craning her neck upwards to look at him! Then she'll smile at me, latch, nurse, pull off again etc. NIP is also very hard for this reason.
What I've noticed is that, even if she has a few distracted sessions where she doesn't nurse as much, she'll make up for it later with a couple of really good, long sessions or with cluster feedings. This is especially true for night feedings. She doesn't wake up to feed (just fusses in her sleep when hungry, waking me up), and is very focused when feeding in her sleep. Downside is that she nurses four or five times at night!...

I have an Ameda purley yours. I used to could pump in the early begining, but now I am lucky to get 5-10mL. Sometimes I have hooked myself up (its a double and sat there for 30 min and gotten NOTHING!!!) A really good pumping session is about a half ounce, but that is so sporadic and rare, I can't count on it. I also have a Medela manual, and I can rarely get anything from that either, the first time I used it I got almost a half ounce and since then, it has been almost nothing. Maybe .5 mL sometimes. I had quit puming because I really don't need too. I am a SAHM, I was just doing it cause I was freaking out about my supply. It would be nice to pump in case I ever needed to, but I just have hard time.
I have an Ameda PY, and IMO it is a piece of junk. I never got much with it.
i had the same problem, i just used a nursing cover lol. she would play with that a little bit but it covered her eyes from the rest of the fascinating world
My LO had to spend 13 days in NICU after we'd already taken her home for a few days, and I rented a Medela Symphony from he hospital to pump when she was getting tube fed (they NG'd my milk) and this really helped boost my supply. After I had a huge freezer stash, and had gotten good at pumping, I bought a Medela PISA and still pump about 12-16oz daily. Maybe you could rent a hospital grade pump if needed, but if LC says you're doing good, and weight is good, and diaper output is good... I'd say you're all good and why mess with anything.

I agree. I don't think I will mess with anything at this point. It is just hard on me stress wise when she changes up on me. My LC says to feed her 8-12 times a day, but there is just no way, she won't eat like that and when I was trying to add a feeding, she would stuck for about a minute or two and fall back asleep. So, I will just offer and she what she does and go from there. It's tricky cause, for example, when I was putting down for her nap, she refused me, so I gave her the paci and she settled down, I got up, and was going to leave, but I thought I should try one more time and she ate for about 5-7 minutes. I feel like her nursing times get shorter and shorter! I tried on the other side and she was just about out of it and didn't do much so I just gave paci back and let her sleep. Do you think gulping and loud breathing sounds like and OALD O/S during my let down? It doesn't always happen. I don't even feel my let downs very much anymore.
Oh, and that is nice to know mommal, I had gotten what I thought was inbetween a super cheapie, and the Medela because I didn't think I was really even going to need it, I just wanted to have one just in case. Of course that doesnt' explain why I can't get much from the Medela manual.
I was told they get more efficient, so it's likely that they nurse shorter amounts of time. My DD has nursed around 5-7 minutes since birth, on one side per feed, and only recently has nursed longer on occasion, probably to build my supply back up after we've been seperated. She usually nurses once or twice in the early morning, drinks three bottles during the day, then nurses 2 or 3 times again at night, so she's eating about 5-8 times a day, and is doing fine, according to everyone, so I don't think the 8-12x applies if you have OALD and O/S. The LC told me the gupling and loud breathing is OALD and O/S, and it doesn't happen all the time for me either, and I don't feel my letdowns often, either.

Hi mama hang in there,
My lovely little angel started to she very distracted about a month ago. She is 7 months old now.. She eats well before naps but thats only 3 times.. then she plays while trying to ea but there are so many things to see she just has to look... yes it drives me crazy because i will just let down and she will have to look then lol.. big mess
so the rest of her calories she gets at night. We co sleep which makes it easier
i dont think your milk supply will get messed up, your little one will eat when she gets really hungry.. even if it is when she sleeps. Good luck

Income Is a Challenge for Investors Worldwide
Four in 10 investors worldwide are generating less income than they hope for, according to Legg Mason. The firm surveyed more than 3,000 affluent investors in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia about their current attitudes toward income investments.
Nearly seven out of 10 respondents described investing for income as being extremely important. Yet, across the globe investors said gaps exist between the rates of return they desire and the rates of return they are actually receiving. The largest gap between desire and reality was evident in Taiwan (4.0% gap), with the U.S. ranking sixth (2.6% gap). Low yields and uncertainty over tax law changes were listed as the biggest challenges for U.S. investors. Notably, concerns about inflation were the highest in China, Taiwan and Australia.
In terms of what they invest in, the U.S. led all countries in terms of holding equities (a 39% allocation). U.S. investors also had the largest percentage of their equity allocations held in mutual funds (49% allocation). In terms of fixed income, U.S. investors ranked third worldwide with a 19% allocation, behind Italy and Canada. U.S. investors relied on bond mutual funds more than investors in other countries, however, with a 45% allocation of fixed income to them. U.S. investors were also more likely to invest domestically than any other country, with just 11% investing internationally for income.
Less traditional income-producing investments, such as master limited partnerships (MLPs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and currency trading, were much less popular. Just 10% of U.S. investors said they held these assets. Their popularity trailed that of real estate, which 16% of U.S. respondents said they own to generate portfolio income.

The problem with adultsSeptember 25,2013Id only been back to school for three days when one of my coffee shop buddies set a new record for the earliest anyone has ever asked me when the last day of school is. I told him I just keep going until someone tells me not to show up, which is only a slight exaggeration.
I also added my standard and entirely sincere response that I enjoy what I do for a living and that its typically adults, not my students, who make my work difficult.
Ive heard many teachers express similar sentiments.
As the great grown-up minds that run education move forward with their grand plans, initiatives, and rosy mission statements, here are a few of my hopes and suggestions that probably dont appear on their agendas.
While adults for me are more problematic, that doesnt mean that students are always angelic. Even small, close-knit schools grapple with serious, chronic behavior problems that disrupt classes and degrade the education that other children receive. Disruptive, dangerous students should be held accountable for their actions. When their disruptions chronically interfere with other students learning, or their actions in a single instance threaten the safety of other children, they should be removed from school. Their rightful opportunity to attend school shouldnt include the wrongful opportunity to inflict further harm on other peoples children.
The damage done by offenders is written on the faces of their apprehensive classmates. By stealing time and reducing teachers effectiveness and students ability to focus, serial misbehavior contributes significantly to lackluster student achievement and test scores, and by lowering the behavior standards that children experience every day, its also redefining what passes for normal behavior. Yet as damaging as these behaviorally challenged students actions can be, and as culpable as they are, their culpability is nothing compared to the guilt borne by adults who, safely cordoned off in their administrative offices, and in Congress and various legislatures, prohibit those students removal, who require teachers and children to endure chaos, and in the name of offenders rights, deny other students their right to learn.
As the adults in charge trumpet their latest initiatives, it would be nice if they acknowledged education reforms dismal track record. From the laid back 1970s student-centered, undisciplined, curricular smorgasbord to the repackaged 1990s school restructuring and 21st century school transformation movements, from No Child Left Behind to the impending Common Core, experts and policymakers have repeatedly renamed and recycled the same failed ideas that got schools in trouble in the first place.
Whether its an instructional method, learning theory, grading system, or trademarked standardized assessment, people in the education business tout what they like to call best practice. Unfortunately, best practice commonly translates as whatever is momentarily in fashion, until everybody decides its not best practice anymore and that they actually never liked it.
Check the press releases that accompanied the unveiling of No Child Left Behind, the 2002 version of best practice. The prevailing wisdom at the time, the overwhelming consensus among politicians, education policymakers, and school officials, was that, borrowing the words of then U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige, anyone who questioned or opposed No Child Left Behind signaled only that they want to leave some [children] behind.
Now its hard to find any education official who doesnt distance himself from NCLB, who doesnt publicly regard the laws mechanisms and obsessive assessment regime as profoundly flawed and its 100 percent proficiency expectations as grossly unrealistic.
Theyve all moved on to todays best practice, the Common Core, which amounts to No Child Left Behind on testosterone. It took less than 10 years for NCLB to fall from favor. It wont take even take that long before the experts in charge are scratching their heads and wondering wide-eyed whos to blame for the Common Core. Can we please abandon the fiction that all children will succeed? No, success and failure shouldnt be predicated on race or ethnicity. No, poverty doesnt and shouldnt doom a student to poor achievement. But poverty does convey disadvantages that need to be overcome. Thats what disadvantage means. And it is a fact of life that much, if not most, of that overcoming depends on the disadvantaged students determination and ability. Yes, as a teacher, I can help. I ought to help. But regardless of his race or his familys income, my poor powers cant make up for a students low ability, or lack of effort, or disastrous family life, or sloth, or malice, or any of the myriad factors and complications that contribute to a childs performance, success or failure, in school. Anyone who says otherwise invariably speaks from the safe isolation of an office, not the volatile real world of a classroom.
Can we also please stop justifying every irrelevant, redundant, counterproductive new initiative, however well-intentioned it may or may not be, on the grounds that its good for kids. Parents can know whats good for kids. Teachers can know whats good for kids. Anyone who actually works with kids has a chance to see whats good for kids. But you cant really know whats good for kids if all you do is read about them in research or pass them in the hall when youre touring their school. Despite the rhetoric of empowerment, public schools, once primarily a local enterprise, have increasingly been wrested from the hands of parents, communities, and teachers, with control vested instead in authorities and experts far removed from schools themselves. The reign of those authorities is the last 40 years of reform. The legacy of that transference of power is where we find our schools today.
We need to ask ourselves who it is we want to trust with our childrens education officials and experts who rarely even see them and whose expertise consists of what they read and write to each other about education, or the teachers and principals who work with those children every day, whose collaborative judgment rests on both their acquired knowledge and their daily experience, and whose decisions, overseen by community school boards, are every day tested in the classrooms where learning really happens?
For me, the choice is clear.

Something old, something new
Short digital films are presented for an individual (headphone) experience, and they run the gamut from serious to comical and even one with local interest at its heart. I experienced a few of them, while others milled about, and found both gallery installations interesting. Judging by overheard conversations, all of the work was stimulating the crowd, and I am always pleased to hear that there are pieces being purchased at these art shows.
Speaking of "something new," I was amused and entertained beyond compare by the Forestburgh Theatre Arts Center (FBplayhouse.org) never-seen-before new musical "Idaho!" Billed as "hysterical"—I was nervous, but IMHO, they really got it right. A cleverly crafted, brilliantly conceived homage to Rogers & Hammerstein's classic "Oklahoma," this show is so ready for a sparkling marquee in New York City. The book is a riot, the dozens of songs (many of which are a tip o' the hat to its inspiration) are actually hilarious and I did indeed leave the theatre humming a few.
Comprised of a topnotch cast (several of whom arrive in Forestburgh with Broadway credits), and armed with director Matt Lenz' firm (dare I say hysterical?) grasp on the material, stars will be born. Austin Miller, Jessica Hershberg, Will Taylor and Alle-Faye Monka were so in the zone, it was difficult to not miss a line here or there, since the laughter and spontaneous applause was deafening at times.
The supreme talents of Susan Mosher and Paul Vogt were equally matched by the amazing vocal prowess of Romelda Teron Benjamin, who tore the place up. Jay Rogers and the "Meany Boys," played by Dustin Smith and Elliot O'Rourke Peterson, added even more pizzaz as they joined a well rounded, multitalented cast—singing, dancing and (yes, it's a little blue) entertaining to beat the (great sounding) band.
I understand that it's only my opinion here, but I was so amused, that I am returning for another go 'round (the show runs through June 12) with this clever, clever show. Creators Buddy Sheffield and Keith Thompson most certainly deserve a major shout-out, along with the crew that designed, lit, costumed, choreographed and musically directed (you rocked it, Steven Cuevas!)
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Something for everyone, so I declare: go out and do!

Hey Jonathan! (FYI)
Agatha Christie's original title was "10 Little Niggers". That had to be changed. Human Rights.
The title was changed to "10 Little Indians". That HAD to be changed. Our Native Americans were insulted!
The resulting (copywritten) title is now, "And Then There Were None".

HTTP Push
for .NET Servers
Your servers.
HTTP Push
in the Cloud
Our servers.
This is live data streaming from our SQL Server.
Deliver hundreds of thousands updates per second with every instance of WebSync.
WebSync runs on IIS with .NET, Apache with Mono, or as an embedded server.
WebSync just works; no complicated setup procedures and no firewall issues.
Proper port-80 WebSockets are automatic for all client platforms when using IIS 8.
WebSync includes client libraries for JavaScript, Android, iOS, Java, Mac, Mono, .NET, .NET Compact, Silverlight, Unity, Windows 8, Windows Phone, Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.iOS, as well as server support for Mono, .NET, and PHP.
WebSync is a highly scalable HTTP streaming (comet) server built for the Microsoft stack (.NET/IIS) using the Bayeux protocol.
WebSync allows you to push live data to a web browser or any other compatible client without requiring any plugins, security changes, or dedicated servers.
WebSync leverages the power and ubiquity of IIS to allow easy integration into existing applications with a simple learning curve.
WebSync is currently used for chat, streaming stock data, live auctions, real-time monitoring, news updates, and many other applications.
WebSync is the leading production-ready HTTP streaming (comet/reverse Ajax) server for those of us using the Microsoft stack (.NET/IIS).
Unlike other HTTP streaming solutions, WebSync does not require any additional servers, different ports, or fancy configuration. WebSync works directly with IIS (or the development server shipped with Visual Studio), and can therefore be easily added to any ASP.NET project with little more than a couple web.config entries. No need to host additional servers, mess with extended installations or configuration, or figure out what security restrictions are in place - WebSync "just works".
In addition to being made for Microsoft's platform and being very simple to use and integrate, WebSync has incredible performance. In our testing, we took an old commodity desktop and simultaneously connected over 30,000 users with over 100,000 messages being delivered per second. Now those are some numbers you can work with!
"[WebSync] not only handles our current user load, but gives us head-room to grow in the future." Ian I.
Traditionally, HTTP requests communicate with web servers synchronously.
With comet (a.k.a reverse Ajax, HTTP push, HTTP streaming, etc), a connection is established and maintained with the server, allowing full duplex communication, meaning the server can push events out to the client in real-time.
WebSync uses a standards-based publish/subscribe methodology to send data to connected clients; these clients can be .NET clients, iOS clients, JavaScript clients, Java clients, Windows Phone clients, or any other client that implements the standard protocol used with WebSync.
The data sent through WebSync is formatted as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), a well known and highly cross-platform, cross-language standard.

On this day (Nov. 12) in 1862, Union Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside (1824-1881) submitted a hastily devised plan to President Abraham Lincoln to attack and defeat Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, which would lead hopefully to the capture of the Confederate capital at Richmond.
The president had earlier (Nov. 5, 1862) fired the discredited Gen. George B. McClellan for his failed and poorly conducted Peninsula Campaign and particularly for his failure to immediately attack Lee's exhausted, demoralized army after he had successfully thwarted the Confederate general's first invasion of the North at the bloody Sept. 17 Battle of Antietam Creek.
Appointed Commander of the Army of the Potomac to replace the inept McClellan, Burnside was pressured by the president to submit a plan to attack Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Burnside reluctantly had accepted this new command, which he had twice previously declined. He apparently felt himself incapable of leading the huge Army of the Potomac.
However, he was urged by friends and family that he was obligated to now accept what was a presidential order. He quickly devised a plan that involved crossing the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg, Va., and racing to Richmond before Lee could gather his spread-out forces: Confederate Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was in the Shenandoah Valley and Gen. James Longstreet at Culpeper Court House.
Burnside told Lincoln that he was hoping to fool Lee into thinking he was going to attack Longstreet at Culpeper when in fact he, in unwonted speed, moved his army to Falmouth in preparation for an attack across the Rappahannock on lightly defended Fredericksburg.
With the defeat of Lee's small army at Fredericksburg, Burnside then planned to attack and defeat Longstreet's army of 45,000 with his well-rested, well-equipped force of 113,000. With the defeat of both Lee (at Fredericksburg) and Longstreet (at or near Culpeper) Burnside would then be able to race to and capture Richmond, thus bringing an end to the war.
Burnside apparently believed, as if he was a chess player, that capturing the opponent's capital city (taking or checkmating the king) would result in victory. It would be, of course, Gens. Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman who finally secured Union victory by completely defeating Confederate armies in the field in a 1864-1865 war of attrition.
Lincoln approved of Burnside's plan of attack but warned that "it will succeed if you move rapidly; otherwise not." However, Burnside was unable to "move" (attack) "rapidly" because Army Chief of Staff Henry W. ("Old Brains") Halleck had forgotten to order the materials needed to construct a pontoon bridge on which the army could cross the river.
During the almost two-week delay in getting the pontoons, Jackson and Longstreet were able to join Lee in Fredericksburg. When Burnside finally (Dec. 11-13) was able to cross the river into the town, he was confronted with a well-entrenched Confederate force of 75,000 on top of Prospect Hill, Howson Hill and the Sunken Road just beyond the town.
This Battle of Fredericksburg with Union troops charging uphill against entrenched Confederates resulted in a disastrous Union defeat (Union casualties 1,284 killed, 9,600 wounded against Confederate 595 killed and just more than 4,000 wounded).
The Battle also resulted in Burnside being replaced on Jan. 25, 1863, by Gen. "Fighting" Joseph Hooker as commander of the now demoralized Army of the Potomac.

The 24th annual Janice Borla Vocal Jazz Camp and "Hot Jazz-6 Cool Nites" concert series will be presented at North Central College July 21-27. The overlapping events are jointly sponsored by the College's Jazz Studies Program.
The Janice Borla Vocal Jazz Camp, founded in 1989, provides a unique educational experience for aspiring jazz vocalists in an intensified, one-week course of study and skills development conducted by an outstanding faculty of professional performing and recording artists. Cited by Jazziz Magazine as "among the most innovative and dynamic summer jazz educational programs in the country," the camp has been featured on the PBS national news program "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer," HDNET-TV, WGN-TV and WTTW Channel 11 Chicago.
The camp's international reputation draws students from all parts of the United States and Canada, Europe and Asia. Participants typically range in age and background from high school and college students to adult professional vocalists and jazz educators. The curriculum is designed specifically for the solo jazz vocalist. Daily activities include workshops in jazz improvisation, performance styles and techniques and solo performance preparation as well as artist master classes, vocal jazz history and music theory. There are also nightly faculty artist concerts, informal student jam sessions, and a final concert featuring each participant performing with the staff rhythm section.
This year's camp, July 22-27, is open to all participants from age 14 through adult. Tuition is $625; housing and meals are available for an additional $300. The deadline for enrollment is June 1. Visit janiceborlavocaljazzcamp.org to learn more.
This year's featured vocal staff artists are Borla, Jay Clayton and Suzanne Pittson—three internationally acclaimed jazz vocalists who each possess extensive resumes as both performing artists and jazz educators.
The recordings and performances of camp founder and director Borla have earned her consistently high praise for her beautiful sound, adventurous repertoire and imaginative improvisations. Her latest CD, "From Every Angle," was named one of the "Best CDs of the Year" by DownBeat Magazine. A recognized pioneer in vocal jazz education, Borla established the vocal jazz programs at Benedictine University and the Saskatchewan School of the Arts in Canada and is instructor of vocal jazz at North Central College.
Returning this year is Clayton, an internationally acclaimed vocalist, composer and educator whose work boldly spans the terrain between jazz and new music. She has recorded with Steve Reich, Muhal Richard Abrams, John Cage, Bobby McFerrin, Jane Ira Bloom and many others and is co-founder of the acclaimed improvisatory vocal quintet Vocal Summit. Her latest CD, "The Peace of Wild Things" showcases her personal style, using her solo voice and innovative use of electronics. Clayton is on the faculty at the New School in New York City and Peabody Institute in Baltimore.
Completing the camp's vocal faculty is Pittson, who has recorded with such jazz luminaries as John Patitucci, Harvie Swartz, Keremy Pelt and Jack Walrath. Her current CD, "Out of the Hub: The Music of Freddie Hubbard," earned a four-star review from DownBeat Magazine. She is assistant professor of jazz vocal studies at City College of New York.
In addition to the vocal faculty artists, featured on the camp staff will be jazz trumpeter Art Davis, formerly with the Ray Charles Orchestra. Also on staff will be the Dan Haerle Trio, comprised of pianist Dan Haerle, bassist Bob Bowman and drummer Jack Mouse—each an internationally known jazz artist and clinician.
A special highlight of the week's activities is the "Hot Jazz-6 Cool Nites" evening concert series, featuring the camp faculty artists and open to the general public. This year's concerts will be presented in the College's theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall, 31 S. Ellsworth St. The faculty artist series opens on Saturday, July 21, and continues Monday through Thursday, July 23-26, featuring a different combination of artists each evening. The series concludes on Friday, July 27 with a concert featuring all of the camp participants performing with the faculty rhythm section.

Your kids think about that, too. Make these with them and you can both satisfy your chocolate jones without breaking your waistlines.
The crunchy texture of the noodles and the saltiness of the peanuts can make these truly addictive, but make these a reward for getting homework done or household chores finished and you'll find smooth sailing.
And, yes, you can reward yourself, too. Being the boss is hard work!
Next up, we dish out a little peace, love and yumminess ...
Serious Hippie Food
OK, so they're actually called Almond Butter-Wheat Germ Sticks, but get halfway through making these with your kids and you'll start hearing "Incense and Peppermints" and wanting to really look at your hands, man.
Unlike most snacks that are this darned healthy, though, these actually taste good. Your kids will never suspect that they're getting one of the healthiest sources of fiber around combined with healthy fats that will keep their coats shiny and their eyes bright.
What, your kids don't have coats? Don't they get cold at the bus stop? What kind of a parent are you, anyway?
Hopefully, you're the kind who would make our next and final after-school treat ...
Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
Sure, you can toddle on down to the megamart and buy a box of ice cream sandwiches anytime.
You can even, for a few extra coins, buy cookie sandwiches. But take one rainy weekend afternoon and make a few dozen of these puppies and your place in the pantheon of Really Cool Parents will be guaranteed, at least until you have to ground one of the rugrats for stealing your car or some similar mayhem.
And look at the cookie recipe. This just might be the healthiest danged chocolate chip cookie you've ever made. The best part is that the kids won't mind that part of the equation at all.
Now the snacks are covered! All you have left to do is ... well, everything else. Good luck.

Last year's transition to NCAA Division II left the University of Sioux Falls (S.D.) football program feeling a bit empty.
Sioux Falls, as part of its move from the NAIA level, went 5-4 last season playing an independent schedule.
For a program that posted a 69-2 record and won three NAIA national championships from 2006 to 2010, not playing postseason games was unusual.
"Last year was tough," said senior free safety Michael Frericks, a Crystal Lake South graduate. "We've always been a winning program. We always had playing in the playoffs to look forward to."
Thanks to Frericks and a defense that ranks second in the nation with 16 interceptions, Sioux Falls is likely to be a strong contender for a playoff berth in its first D-II season in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
Frericks has three of the team's interceptions and a career-high 47 tackles for the Cougars (7-1), whose only loss was a 10-9 defeat this month at Winona (Minn.) State.
"We want to be a fast defense and get 11 guys to the ball," Frericks said. "We have a lot of seniors, so we feel comfortable in this defense and we play well together."
Sioux Falls leads the NSIC in interceptions, turnover margin and passing efficiency defense and has forged a 7-1 league record.
"In our coverages, our defensive backs and linebackers really stay on top of (pass) routes," Frericks said. "It makes it difficult for a quarterback to complete passes."
The Cougars host Upper Iowa (2-6) today before a key Nov. 3 NSIC showdown at Minnesota State, Mankato (8-0).
Yet to Frericks and his teammates, playing a 2-6 team is no different than facing an unbeaten opponent.
"We really don't know much about these teams because we haven't played them before," Frericks said. "All we can do is watch film. Even teams with a losing record, we approach them the same way."
Tackling machine: Crystal Lake Central graduate J.J. Bobrowicz is the leading tackler this fall for D-II Southwest Minnesota State's football team.
Bobrowicz has 59 total tackles to lead the Mustangs (3-5), including 3.5 tackles for loss. The junior had a season-best 13 tackles Sept. 22 in a 33-28 loss to Minnesota, Crookston.
Judson juggernaut: Thanks to eight local players, including seven from Huntley, NAIA Judson University's women's soccer team won its 14th match of the season Wednesday, a 2-0 win against Trinity Christian for goalkeeper Sara Hoffman's 11th shutout of the season.
Hoffman, a Huntley grad, has a 0.62 goals-against average, thanks to a defense that includes Prairie Ridge grad Chandler Evans, freshman who has started 15 games, and Huntley's Jamie Wimberly, a junior with nine starts.
The offense for the Eagles (14-3 overall, 8-2 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference) has outscored opponents, 64-10. Judson is in second place in conference play.
Kaylee O'Brien, a senior midfielder, has four goals and three assists, while sophomore midfielder Priscilla Jara has three goals and three assists. Lauren Opolony, a senior defender/midfielder, has two goals and two assists. Senior midfielder Kristina Barreto has a goal and two assists. Freshman forward Ashley Schorr has played in 14 matches.
Prime pace: Dundee-Crown grad Andrew Knapik posted a personal-best time in the 8-kilometer Great Lakes Valley Conference championships race Oct. 20 to help D-II Lewis University's men's cross country team to a second-place finish in the event.
Knapik, a sophomore, ran the race in Springfield, Mo., in a time of 25:50.9, which was 20 seconds faster than his previous best time. The effort helped Knapik take 18th as an individual.
West Florida winner: D-II University of West Florida volleyball libero Andraia Leja, a sophomore and Prairie Ridge grad, ranks third on her team with 2.19 digs per set this season.
The Argos (17-7) posted their most impressive win of the season Oct. 19 with a 3-1 victory against Tampa, which was ranked No. 2 in the nation. The victory helped West Florida climb to No. 20 this week in the American Volleyball Coaches' Association poll.

Video: Inside Kim Kardashian's lavish wedding
Transcript of: Inside Kim Kardashian's lavish wedding
ANN CURRY, co-host: Back now at 8:09 with Hollywood 's wedding of the year. Reality star Kim Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries tied the knot over the weekend. And as we've mentioned, Kathie Lee Gifford was there. We'll talk to her in just a moment about all of that. But first, here's NBC 's Aditi Roy .
ADITI ROY reporting: Reality television met fantasy, as Kim Kardashian floated down the aisle to wed Kris Humphries , in Hollywood 's grandest wedding of the year.
Ms. NATALIE THOMAS (News Editor, US Weekly): This was the mother of all weddings. This was a huge celebrity affair. It was a really who's who of Hollywood .
ROY: E! Entertainment , which is owned by NBC 's parent company Comcast , had cameras rolling at the wedding as part of an upcoming special. Among the celebrities attending the $10 million black and white affair, Eva Longoria , Lindsay Lohan , Ryan Seacrest , Avril Lavigne , Kathie Lee Gifford and Vera Wang , who designed three dresses for the bride. The one Kim wore for the ceremony was an ivory gown with full tulle skirt, basque waist, and Chantilly lace applique on the bodice and train, capped off with a veil that was literally dripping with diamonds. Stepfather Bruce Jenner escorted her down the aisle to Kris , who was wearing a classic tuxedo. Kim 's bridesmaids matched the bride in Vera Wang ivory gowns. It was a made for TV event. But there were some unrehearsed moments.
Ms. THOMAS: Kourtney and Scott's 20-month-old son, Mason, was the ring bearer . It took him three times, but he finally got up the aisle with the rings and everyone was laughing.
ROY: The fairy tale setting: a private mansion in Montecito , California .
The inspiration: I, Katherine Elizabeth...
Princess KATHERINE: ...that other big wedding this year.
ROY: Well, Kim was referring to it as her own royal wedding . She was very taken by William and Kate 's wedding and she wanted it to be very similar. It was very regal, it was all black and white , very classy, very elegant and of course, over the top.
Ms. THOMAS: There is little of the Kardashian 's life that's not documented by cameras. Whether at play, at work, and especially in love. Kim and Kris started dating eight months ago.
ROY: She's kind of met her match. She's a strong, controlling businesswoman and he doesn't take it lying down.
Ms. THOMAS: Their TV schedule prevents them from going on a honeymoon. But with the opulence of this glorious night, it seems the Kardashians may be living in a post- wedding dream for a while before coming back to reality. For TODAY, Aditi Roy, NBC News, Los Angeles .
ROY: So, Kathie Lee Gifford was a guest at the wedding along with Ken Baker , who is E!'s chief news correspondent. Good morning to both of you.
CURRY: Morning, Ann .
KATHIE LEE GIFFORD reporting: Good morning.
Mr. KEN BAKER: OK, so let me...
CURRY: Ken was not my date. I want you all to know that.
GIFFORD: I wish.
Mr. BAKER: You are a married woman and I'm glad Frank is hearing about that this morning.
CURRY: Yes.
GIFFORD: But let me just say this, what was the best -- let me ask each of you, what was your best moment there? What would you say ? First, Kathie Lee .
CURRY: For me, it was definitely little Mason coming down the aisle. He stole -- if it's possible to steal the thunder from Kim Kardashian Humphries , it was Mason. He was just the cutest thing, and it just reminded me of the study in contrast for me with this wedding . It was typically Kardashian , over the top, crazy. But ultimately it comes down to a family. And everybody's got their -- that little -- that little one that comes down the aisle, their flower girls or something and it just made it so human. It really did. What did you think, Ken ?
GIFFORD: Well, besides all the free champagne, which was really a great part, I think Kim 's dress, and she looked so beautiful and she really took a risk, I mean, by not going with a traditional tiara. She had this very elegant headpiece...
Mr. BAKER: Yes.
GIFFORD: ...that people are calling, sort of like an Indian princess piece.
Mr. BAKER: Yes.
GIFFORD: I don't know, she really was daring with it. I thought everyone gasped when they saw her.
Mr. BAKER: Yes.
GIFFORD: In fact, they went into applause when she walked down the aisle.
Mr. BAKER: Yeah.
GIFFORD: And that was because she really did look stunning.
Mr. BAKER: And you mentioned the dress, Ken , but she actually wore three dresses, I understand. So, are you saying the wedding dress is the one she looked the most beautiful in, Kathie Lee ?
CURRY: How could Kim not look gorgeous in everything she wears. No, I love the way she mixed up her looks. I mean, the only thing that I kept thinking about is, 'My gosh, when is she going to attend her own wedding ?' She's backstage getting a new dress on, a new hair done. But it made it like a fashion show , in a sense. It was a wedding slash fashion show .
GIFFORD: Well, actually, I spoke to her stylist who was at the wedding and she said that the second dress that Kim wore, actually the stylist wanted that to be the actual wedding dress .
Mr. BAKER: Yeah.
GIFFORD: So they compromised and said, 'Well, OK, she'll wear it as the second dress.' So she got to wear at least two dresses because it was a really difficult decision for her.
Mr. BAKER: As for that 20.5-carat ring she had on her finger, I'm trying to figure out whether that's the size of a dime or a nickel. Did you guys get a good look at it?
CURRY: It's the size of an ice cube, it's what it is. Yeah. She had -- she was wearing it of course, on her right hand until the wedding ring had -- could be put on. But did you notice that she said she'd never see the ring? As they were putting it on her finger, she said, 'Oh, I haven't seen it yet.'
GIFFORD: Yeah, yeah. I mean, they were beautiful bands. But of course, the engagement ring kind of eclipses things. Whenever you're going to wear, you know, a 20-carat ring, it's going to eclipse any wedding band that's put on someone's finger.
Mr. BAKER: Meantime...
CURRY: That's why I rarely wear mine.
GIFFORD: Oh. Meantime, as for what the guests were wearing, I understand that everybody had to be wearing black and white .
CURRY: Yes.
GIFFORD: So do you want to -- and I know Kathie Lee , that means that you had to put a lot of thought into that. But besides Kathie Lee , Ken , who looked fabulous at the wedding ?
CURRY: Well, I think that obviously Kris Humphries looked really, really, just dapper.
Mr. BAKER: Yeah. He changed again -- he changed also.
GIFFORD: Yeah. I think Kim 's already sort of affecting him. He went into two outfits throughout the night, which you usually don't see from a groom. But he did. But I think that, you know, really everyone looked actually stunning. And that's what Kim wanted. She had a vision of black and white . And everyone did adhere to it. And I have to say that what really was interesting was the bridesmaids. Her sisters, they looked really beautiful...
Mr. BAKER: Mm -hmm.
GIFFORD: ...sort of a Pippa Middleton effect where Kim wasn't afraid to have the bridesmaids maybe even possibly overshadow her -- they didn't overshadow her, but they looked beautiful, very tight-fitting ivory gowns and they looked gorgeous too. Basically, everyone who was in that ceremony, in that courtyard, right down to the little ring bearer ...
Mr. BAKER: Oh, please! He was so cute.
GIFFORD: He's so cute. That's her nephew, Mason. He was really -- I think he really did steal the show.
Mr. BAKER: He totally stole it. I mean, everybody -- everybody was a little nervous, and nobody really knows what's going to happen. And then that human moment and it just did -- it set the pace then for a little bit of humor during the actual ceremony as well. You know, Ann , what struck me, we expect the glamour and everything from the Kardashians , but the ceremony itself was one of the most spiritual I have ever been to. The pastor is Kris Humphries ' family pastor. They're very devout born-again family, and he talked about all the words in the Bible for love. We only have in English one word for love. But in the Bible there are many between the Greek and the Hebrew . And it really made you think about what love really, really is. And there's such a big difference between love and lust. And he preached the gospel, I thought. He was wild.
GIFFORD: Yeah. He also was very realistic. He said, 'Look guys, if you don't work at it, you could have a very mediocre marriage very quickly.'
Mr. BAKER: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
GIFFORD: And everyone was like, 'Wow, I can't believe he said that.' So it was very fairy tale -esque, but it was also a real dose of reality, which is appropriate enough since reality cameras were shooting.
Mr. BAKER: Yeah. It was very -- he was very grounded about, you know, 'This may be good for now.' But you're right, it's a real commitment of your time and your -- work to make a marriage work.
GIFFORD: Well, you know, given that we're almost out of time, I'm going to have to ask you to make a hard turn here and tell us about the swag that you got.
CURRY: Well, this -- he didn't get because he didn't go to the party the night before the wedding for the really important friends and family.
GIFFORD: It's true.
Mr. BAKER: And he's been dying to get my flip flop, which says, " Kim loves Kris ," and is sort of like the ring, except her ring is 10 times bigger.
GIFFORD: But I did get a cookie.
Mr. BAKER: He got a cookie that's already broken. But I guess, at the end of the wedding there was a big swag bag, too, huh? Did I leave too early?
GIFFORD: Yeah, they had scented candles, they have also a -- they gifted everyone a pair of shoes, redeemable with a gift certificate of course. We didn't walk out with Jimmy Choos . But, you know, there was plenty of gifts for everyone to go around.
Mr. BAKER: All right. Well, it sounds like you two had a good time and it was a good day for all.
CURRY: It was beautiful.
GIFFORD: All right, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Thanks for getting up early, Kathie Lee .
CURRY: Thank you, Ann. You bet. Love you.

I've never had any breastfeeding problems before and I'm kind of at a loss right now. I started working full-time two weeks ago. The day I started back, my sweet baby decided to start waking up every two hours all night long. Needless to say, this has left me exhuasted. I'm pumping at work and getting fine results, but my production decreases throughout the day. First pump I get 5oz. Second, 4 oz. Third, 3 oz. My daughter recently started eating a lot more, too, so I'm barely pumping enough each day to get her through the next day. This means there is no extra milk leftover for my husband to give her a mid-night bottle. Therefore, I am the one who has to get up by my daugher every two hours. I am dying here. I've tried relaxation, eating oatmeal, nursing her as much as she wants whenever I'm home, but my evening milk production is not increasing. It just isn't enough to satisfy my daughter. She is getting enough milk to sustain her (lots of wet diapers), but only because she is eating every two hours. I'm contemplating giving her one bottle of formula a day just to help me get some rest.
I know you need to be well rested to make enough milk, but I can't get any rest because I'm NOT making enough. What can I do?

Wind production tax credit is worth saving
- published_in
That's the word from Justin Wu, a Hong Kong-based analyst with Bloomberg New Energy Finance who tracks the wind energy industry.
"Turbine manufacturing margins have plummeted while competition has become increasingly fierce," Wu said.
His comments came in response to news from Vestas that it is cutting more than 2,300 jobs in Europe and China, and that it could be forced to make cuts to its workforce in the U.S. later this year.
There are about 1,600 jobs in the U.S. that could be affected, including hundreds in Northern Colorado, where the Denmark-based company operates blade and wind-turbine plants in Brighton and Windsor.
This isn't the first bad news from Vestas. For one reason or another, the company's stock has lost almost 92 percent of its value since peaking in 2008. Given its struggles, and its difficulty in responding to competitive pressures, the company's credibility at the moment obviously isn't where investors would like to see it.
Yet wind is a key part of our national energy policy and Vestas has its supporters, including Colorado lawmakers in Congress who promise to work hard in the next few weeks to help push through an extension of a critical wind production tax credit. The credit – which provides an incentive of 2.2 cents per kilowatt-hour of wind power – is set to expire by the end of this year.
Without the credit firmly in place, Vestas says, more job cuts will be coming.
And perhaps not just at Vestas. Among others, Hexcel in Windsor and Bach Composite in Fort Lupton rely on the wind company for business.
The damage wouldn't be limited to Northern Colorado. According to Navigant Consulting, if Congress allows the credit to expire, jobs in the wind industry will be cut in half, meaning a loss of almost 40,000 American jobs. Raising taxes on wind energy would also cause private investment in the industry to drop by nearly two-thirds.
Clearly, half-measures in this case won't help. Congress can best bring some stability to this corner of the energy world by extending the credit for at least five years. A one- or two-year extension will not do the job.
In a commentary piece in the Business Report in mid-December, Denise Bode, the CEO of the American Wind Energy Association, noted that the price of American wind power has dropped by over 90 percent since 1980.
Eventually, as wind energy costs drop even further, the credit can be allowed to expire. But for the moment, Northern Colorado cannot afford the blow of losing a single more job and so I hope Congress will move swiftly in extending this credit.

Greetings everyone!
I have been EPing my 2.5 month-old daughter basically since birth. I've tried three different lactation consultants to get her to latch on properly but that just didn't happen because of my badly inverted nipples, so I am determined to EP as long as I have milk. But I just have too much of it!
I pump 6 times a day - which is the number of times I feed her, I usually pump about 4.2 oz per session (which is what our doctor says she needs per feeding at this age). But my breasts are almost always full and sore and hurt. I think I could pump twice that amount per feeding. (I usually pump from breast A at one feeding and breast B the next). I feel like I am going to burst. I've had two cases of mastitis already and lots of plugged ducts. I know I should only pump as little as possible until relief because if I pump more it will only tell my body to produce even more, so often times I cannot wait for the next pumping session, I wait for it like it were the best thing in my life, staring at the clock, waiting for the next session. What can I do? Sage tea helps me some, I usually drink two cups a day and it's ok for the next 2-3 days but then it goes back to huge breasts and physical and psychological discomfort.
So my questions are:
1) how to reduce milk supply
2) should i continue drinking sage tea - because I am afraid that my body will just get used to it and sage will no longer work to reduce supply
3) are there any meds to take? bromocreptine? (though i read that it can have bad side effects).
please help. I know it's bad of me, but I just cannot wait for this whole breasfeeding/pumping thing to be over and for me to stop worriying about my brests and become a FREE person at last...

my son is 7 mos old, and is just now starting solids. He eats rice or oatmeal baby cereal at lunch, and then has some fingerfoods like cheerios or veggie-rice puffs. He nurses on-demand, which varies day-to-day so much that there really is no average. "how many times per day" is a dreaded question. I've been giving him 2oz of Juice diluted with another 2oz of water in a bottle once a day. I tried with a sippy cup, but he doesn't get it yet. He has more solids at dinner time, usually baby cereal mixed with some veggies or some meat and veggie mix. From reading the posts, I've been giving him quite a bit more solids than what everyone else is doing. And I didn't see much on juice... I was wondering if I should ease up on the solids, and only give him a few teaspoons, and revert to doing more bfing. Should I continue giving him juice in a bottle or keep trying with the cup until he gets it?
Also, he is a very, very pudgy baby. So much so that I'm a bit concerned. He's 7 mos old, like I mentioned, and he's wearing size 12 mos clothes, some of which don't fit over his legs. Soon he'll be wearing 18mos sizes, and I'll have to roll up the sleeves and pantlegs on them. I am obese, and I definately don't want my son to be... could my breastmilk be too fatty? or could it be that I'm feeding him too often, and not trying to calm him or distract him? Should I try calming him in other ways when he seems hungry? Or am I worrying for nothing, and I shoud just be content to have a happy, rolly-polly baby?
Thanks, Amanda

Roger and Austin will be joined by Emmerdale actress Lucy Pargeter and the Deputy Mayor of Kirklees, Cllr Martyn Bolt.
The day of festive thrills will include a performance from DJ and rapper Jay Mya as a part of the 'Pulse Roadshow' and street theatre entertainers.
Club mascot Roger can't wait to be a part of the celebrations, and says he is looking forward to making some new friends as the 2013 season draws ever nearer.
"I've always loved the events in Dewsbury town centre, especially as I always receive a warm welcome," said Roger, who is rapidly developing a reputation as Rugby League's busiest mascot. "This year I'm again looking forward to meeting all my loyal fans both young and old, and will be keeping a close eye out for those in Rams colours.
"We can't control the weather but I intend to be there, rain or shine, so come along. I'll be more than happy to pose for photos and, as I'm now decked out in my Christmas decorations, I'll be easy to spot!"

Lee: totally depends on where he will be. If he is on a stacked team, his numbers would be around 15 and 10. I think his defense can improve, but not by much. Playing for us where he is basically our best option is the only way he can get an enormous paycheck. His numbers would be nowhere where they are now on, say, a healthy Blazers squad.
Gallo: Somewhere between Bargnani right now and Dirk's MVP year, although I might be homering a little bit. 23/8 sounds about right. If he gets injured a little, then 18/7. Has the highest ceiling of the three. Most likely to stay a Knick. Imo, our only untradable piece.
Chandler: Again, depends. Could be a third scoring option on a championship team if he exceeds potential. His personality is a lot like Tim Duncan, real humble and quiet-ish. Only Duncan is a GOAT player.

Comments: Get this buzz bait. It is the best one I've ever thrown and that will be the case for you too. This bait is LOUD so more bass will pay attention to it. Just remember to keep the wire bent enough so that it will clack on the head of the bait in the water

From: Jonn: Minonk, IL
Comments:The only buzzbait I will throw. Causes explosive strikes from largemouth bass during Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Reviewed By Gordon M (Lafayette, LA) Reviewed for a 2000 Chrysler Town and Country —11/25/2007 7:20 AM
I got the wheelskin to cover up the stock "leather" stearing wheel cover. I'm not sure what the stock one is made of but it turned black and started to rub off (tan is its stock color). The wheelskin feels great and was easy to put on. It does take about an hour just like the directions said. I used to the sand color for my tan colored interior. It seemed the closest although it is a bit lighter than the original. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because it doesn't cover the spoke leather sections. It would be nice if they made custom cut skins to fit the stock wheels that would cover the spokes like the original. It looks pretty good though and it is alot nicer than the slip on cover I used for a while. The leather is soft and smooth and feels great!

Beeville Municipal Court Clerk Zenaida Silva is announcing that she is seeking the office of Bee County District Clerk. Zenaida is looking to return to an office in which she has over 20 years experience.She began service in the Bee Country District Clerk's office in 1978 as a child support deputy and rose to become the Chief Deputy District Clerk in 1999. For the last four years, she has served as the Clerk of the Beeville Municipal Court.
Zenaida says, "I know that my experience, relationships, and qualifications make me uniquely suited to serve the people of Bee County as their District Court Clerk. I have had the privilege and honor to work under retired District Judges Rachel Littlejohn Diebel, Ronald M Yeager, and Alonzo T. Rodriguez and also current District Judges Joel B Johnson, Janna K Whatley, and M.E. Welborn. I am looking forward to serving under many more."
Zenaida Ramirez Silva was born July 19, 1955 in Beeville to Frank "Pancho" and Paula Ramirez. She was the fourth of five girls. Mrs. Silva went on to graduate from A. C. Jones High School in 1974. She married her high school sweet heart Amado T. Silva. They have been married for 36 years and have two daughters, Anna and Angela. Zenaida is involved with many community activities, including the March of Dimes and Relay for Life programs. She has served as team captain for both programs for both Bee County and the City of Beeville. Zenaida hopes that someday a cure will be found as her family has suffered the effects of both diseases. Amado and Zenaida are both active members of First Baptist Church Beeville where she is currently a member of the handbell choir.
Upon graduation, Amado enlisted in the US Marine Corps and Zenaida followed him first to North Carolina and then Okinawa. After four years of service, they returned to Beeville in 1977 In 1978, Zenaida began what would become her 20 years of service in the Bee County District Clerk's Office. For the last four years, Zenaida has been the clerk of the Beeville Municipal Court, where she has continued to apply her court clerk experience to make the municipal court a model of efficient government.
During her 20-plus year career in as a court clerk Zenaida has gained extensive experience implementing the electronic jury selection, e-filing, electronic child support payments and electronic of court records thru I-Docket. In doing this it allowed other County and State Departments to collect fines and fees in a faster and more accurate manner. She has been trained in Attorney General Child Support Stratus Divisions, E-filing for courts, and department management. As the Beeville Municipal Court Clerk, Zenaida continued her training, earning Court Clerk certification for municipal government in 2009. She has also been part of countless county and district training regional area meetings and regional area meetings.
Zenaida continues, "I am no stranger to innovation and technology. I have embraced and successfully implemented several initiatives to improve the function of both the District and Municipal Courts though new uses of technology."While custodian of the district clerk records, Zenaida implemented the office's first transition to digital document management. As the Beeville Municipal Court Clerk, Zenaida was a key part of the effort to move the Beeville Police Department to electronic ticket writers and also spearheaded the effort to allow online payment of fines which has allowed them to collect thousands of back owed fines and fees owed to the City of Beeville. Zenaida has deep roots in and a deep love for Bee County.
She says, "I need your vote to bring my unmatched experience back to the office of the Bee Country District Court Clerk. I hope to have the opportunity to give the residents of Bee County the efficient government they deserve. I respectfully ask for your vote and support."

Gov. Neil Abercombie announced Friday that Department of Hawaiian Home Lands Director Alapaki Nahale-a will leave the department on May 15, 2012. His resignation was accepted Friday afternoon.
"Working for state government at this level has been a rewarding experience but also taxing on a number of levels," said Nahale-a. "While I am proud of all that we've accomplished so far, the decision for me to move on is what I believe is best for my family, which is my number one priority."
Director Nahale-a will assist in transitioning his successor following the legislative session. Gov. Abercrombie said he will immediately begin the search for a replacement.
"Alapaki is a man who has and will do good things for Hawaii, especially Native Hawaiians. While I am saddened by his resignation, I am very proud of the work that he has done," said Gov. Abercrombie. "He has reminded me of the sacrifice that many state workers are making to better Hawaii and I appreciate the dedication and performance that is still being given under challenging circumstances."

Glenda Price
My friend and I were strolling through the local farmers' market one day, when she suddenly began talking. I tried to answer her, even though I really didn't know what she was talking about. This went on a few minutes — her talking, then me talking — when she finally turned toward me and lifted her hair. Underneath it was one of those bug-looking things people plug into their ears that I assume are cell phones.
In the past, when we saw a person walking around talking when nobody else was in sight, we knew they were a bit "off the beam" because talking to no one is a sure giveaway the talker has lost his or her sanity.
No more, evidently. Those folks with the bug-looking things stuck to their ears even gesture while talking. Amazing.
Every time I see a person walking around with that growth-looking thing hanging from an ear I must stifle an urge to jerk it out and stomp it like you would a bug.
Also, it appears those folks believe they're important — so important they must be "on call" at all times. Have you noticed they talk really loud, too? Evidently, that's so everyone within a quarter-mile hears the person's conversation and becomes aware of the phone speaker's importance.
Years ago my husband had a two-way radio phone in his pickup. After about a month he took it out. "I don't need to be available at all times," he said. The phone thing sprouting from an ear would be anathema to him.
So I've been thinking (yeah, I know, that's a dangerous thing for me). There might actually be a practical use for these bug thingies. What if we plug them into our working animals' ears — like maybe dogs and horses?
If you could whisper instructions to your working cow dog, that would be awesome. Those dogs already know the commands, so it would be a small matter to teach them to obey when they're delivered in a very quiet manner. When that herd-quitting old cow decides to take off, you could just order her brought back in a quiet little voice.
The best part would be mystifying the other cowhands. You could say, "My dog can read an old cow's mind. Just watch," as your dog circles the herd and brings the cranky old heifer back.
Service dogs could conquer a whole new dimension. You and your dog could sneak up on a drug dealer and, without making any loud noises, tell your dog to bring the dealer down. The surprise factor would be great.
What about our horses? They could be taught voice commands so we could drive a herd of cattle riding one horse and another working with no rider. For a cutting contest our horses would be unbeatable. We could just work without a bridle. Some cutting horses can do that, anyway, but this would be really nifty to watch.
I have no problem putting those things in my animals' ears, but I don't want one stuck to my own head, thank you very much.

I was at the show Saturday night and thought it was amazing! I learned that there was a problem when a girl in front of us did not come back and she texted her boyfriend to say that security was holding a line of people trying to get back on the floor at the door by the bar and would not let them back in. It seems like there should have been a system in place to let only so many people on the floor (maybe one color band) and the rest upstairs (another colored band) and police it somehow from at least that end. Instead everyone was allowed to roam and go where they wanted, which was great, however, if the fans knew the show would get shut down, I believe everyone would have cooperated from the beginning. Once you are 2/3 into a show most people have claimed a place on the floor and don't want to move and understandably. We waited outside for three hours and for two hours inside to hold a great spot. As we were leaving I spoke to the oldest fire chief I saw in line and asked him how he had counted the 100+ people that he was shutting us down for and his response was "we just eyeballed it - we do this all the time" Just FYI.
No shows scheduled. Check again later.
