What's in a name?
February 5, 2014 —
Every great once in a while William Shakespeare comes to mind, and the past week was no exception. Those famous words, "what's in a name," were originally spoken by the lovely Juliet, but have been heard around the world countless times since then. Often, a simple name can conjure up vivid emotions, which in turn, evoke sentiment recalling special times—past, present, or future. At the risk of being called a "name dropper," I've already made plans to sit down this summer with some of country's biggest stars, and last Friday I took my seat with Paul Ciliberto and Michelle Semerano (www.thunder102.com) in Bethel, NY (www.bethelwoodscenter.org) to welcome fans to the box office opening salvo with the 2014 M&M Auto Group Country Megaticket, featuring Lady Antebellum, Toby Keith, Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert. I had the pleasure of drawing a name from the hat, and Kiamesha Lake's Ira Rudick was the lucky recipient of a complimentary pair of lawn tickets for M&M's series. Excitement? You bet.
Dharma (www.facebook.com/DharmaTheWonderDog) and I schmoozed with folks streaming in to be the first on line to take advantage of the pre-sale, and I had an opportunity to chat with Bethel Woods Museum Director Wade Lawrence and site interpreter Duke Devlin. While Duke played with the pooch, Lawrence took time out of his busy schedule to give us a preview of "America Meets the Beatles"—a special exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America, featuring the images captured by LIFE photographer Bill Eppridge. "While the magazine published a few photos," Lawrence explained, "Bill snapped hundreds, many of which have never been seen until now." Clearly excited about the upcoming exhibit (April 5 through August 17), Wade's enthusiasm was contagious, and I know that I'm not alone in anticipating this "Fab Four" retrospective.
When I hear the name Allyson Whitney, powerful words resonate: strength, courage, heroic and inspirational among them. On Saturday, Dharma and I joined a packed house in Monticello (www.mrwillys.com) with the board of directors, (www.allysonwhitney.org) supporters, friends and family as plans for the 2014 calendar and annual 5k run (May 10) were laid out by Gabrielle Scott Ingber and Barbara Strong.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 71 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Meg Ok socks Socks are comfortable and fairly warm. They run big. I was disappointed that even though I followed the size chart these socks have lots of extra toe and heel material so they aren't very comfortable in shoes and they really don't keep my feet toasty on tile floor. October 18, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Onmyfeet Ok value Good support and comfortable. They seem to have shrunk a bit in the wash but still ok September 8, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Paul63 Good hiking socks The Merino Hiker Socks are padded and held up well on our hike. I wore the first pair on a seven mile hike around a lake at 9,800 feet elevation and the second pair on a hike from 11,000 to 14,200 feet elevation. There were no problems while wearing. I wasn't not pleased with how much the socks shrank after washing, but will still wear on future hikes. August 23, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Hiker2016 Product was very comfortable We bought these socks for our hiking and safari trip to Africa. Needed a light weight sock that would hold up to the weather. We experienced rain storms and very hot weather while in Africa. Socks keep our feet as dry as possible and kept our feet from blistering while wet. I would highly recommend this socks May 17, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Badd Pretty good! Slow drying for wool and synthetics. I bought these to help my feet stay warm during a sea kayaking trip with cold mornings/nights. Night one we accidentally ended up in a muddy location and these socks got soaked in the mud. In the morning I washed them and strapped them on top of my kayak near me so they wouldn't get splashed by waves or paddling. Thing is, they never dried! I kind of wanted to wear them at lunch time . .. nope! Still soaking! Hoped they would be dry by evening . .. . Nope! Still a little damp! Luckily I had the other pair in a dry bag and they successfully kept my toes warm all night. I was just astounded how long the other pair took to dry. April 12, 2016

Kari Iverson spent months traveling around the world. Get her tips on what to see and do in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Buenos Aires is unique -- it has its own rhythm, flavor and smell. It is one of a kind.
Buenos Aires is an artsy city. Everywhere you walk -- be it the Buenos Aires Design Mall, the Recoleta Cemetery or down the largest avenue in the world, the 9 de Julio Avenue, you are surrounded by art. It is impossible to walk down the streets without seeing astonishing architecture with intricate detailing. If you look up you will see detailed stonework around the windows; if you look down you will see patterned stonework on the sidewalks.
Presentation is key in Buenos Aires. If you get a chance to stop at an intersection while waiting to cross the street, look at the art that surrounds you. The fruterias (fruit stores) have strawberries, mandarins and kiwi arranged in artistic patterns. Shoe stores stop women on their feet and ice cream parlors are lined with children's noses pressed against the glass drooling over the colorful gelato.
The streets are filled with people at all hours -- men and women dressed up for work, children in their school uniforms, dog walkers surrounded by as many as one dozen dogs, and at night they are filled with people who are dressed up to go out to the theater, restaurants, or clubs.
Before going out to the bars or clubs, people make sure to have dinner. Porteños typically eat dinner anytime between 9 p.m. and midnight. Taking advantage of the delicious food Argentina has to offer, many people eat world-renowned beef while drinking a glass of Malbec wine.
As dinner comes to a close, nightlife in Buenos Aires offers something for everyone. University students and young adults often go to boliches (clubs) and dance to various styles of music -- including cumbia, reggeaton, electronic music and the like. Others go to local bars and restaurants to dance tango -- a national tradition.
In the same way the nightlife in Buenos Aires is diverse, Buenos Aires has many unique barrios (neighborhoods) that each have their own charm.
La Boca is a neighborhood that was established in 1882. It is filled with colorful buildings and has a predominantly Italian population.
Palermo is often referred to as the cultural center of the city and is home to many beautiful parks, museums and fashionable stores, restaurants and plazas.
Belgrano is a smaller, more residential neighborhood where wealthy Argentineans resided at the end of the 19th century. If you take a walk down Belgrano's tree-lined streets you will experience the charming atmosphere many speak of.
Enjoy mate, a traditional herbal drink, by day and fernet, a bitter aromatic spirit often considered the national drink, by night. Immerse yourself in the culture and if time permits continue to explore the many natural beauties of Argentina, including Patagonia and Iguazú Falls.

November 15, 2000 (217) 782-4648
Chicago – The Illinois State Board of Education is on track to begin offering classes in January through the state's first Virtual High School.
The State Board at its regular monthly meeting today reviewed the status of ongoing work to provide on-line learning opportunities for students and teachers. Courses will be phased in.
When fully operational, the Illinois Virtual High School could serve as many as 600,000 students who do not have access to college-level and special interest courses in their home districts.
State Superintendent Glenn W. McGee praised Governor George Ryan's visionary leadership that led to the creation of the Virtual High School.
The planned Virtual High School answers a need expressed by many students including several at the June 22 Schoolhouse Meeting held in Effingham. At that meeting, some students told McGee that they need more and better academic opportunities.
Students need academic choices that will better prepare them for higher education, including more electives and college preparatory courses and a greater use of distance learning, the students told McGee.
State Board staff has completed and are analyzing a formal needs assessment and are working to find teachers with experience and interest in on-line instruction.
Preliminary budget numbers are also being prepared that will include staff, contractual, teacher training, course development and procurement costs. Virtual High School budgets in other states range from $1.5 million to $18 million annually.

- Abstract
- The sliding mode observer (SMO) for battery state of charge (SOC) estimation based on the improved battery equivalent circuit is presented. The convergence of the SMO is proved by Lyapunov stability theory. The advantage of the SMO is that the modelling errors caused by the variation parameters of circuit model can be compensated. Three sets of the testing data under different discharge current profiles generated by DUALFOIL battery simulation program are used to extract the circuit model parameters and to verify the effectiveness of the proposed SMO for the SOC estimation. It shows that the proposed SOC observer can provide robust tracking performance and accurate SOC estimation in electric vehicle driving conditions

With the surrounding hills looking down on the pavilion, Cherokees recalled the past and spoke of the future. They wished the cyclists well.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a spiritual event, itŌĆÖs a historical event,ŌĆØ commented Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians Principal Chief Michell Hicks. ŌĆ£It helps us to remember, ŌĆśHey, itŌĆÖs not so long ago that this happened.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
The May 30 gathering at Kituwah Mound kicked off this yearŌĆÖs Remember the Removal bike ride. The annual 950-mile ride commemorates the 1839 Trail of Tears, or forced removal of the Cherokees from their tribal lands in the Southeast.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs a lot of soul searching that occurs,ŌĆØ said Hicks. ŌĆ£It keeps them closer to their roots, it keeps them solid.ŌĆØ
The bike ride begins in New Echota, Georgia ŌĆö retracing the historic journey over the course of three weeks ŌĆö and ends in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the capital of the Cherokee Nation. This year, six members of the Eastern Band will join 12 members of the Cherokee Nation for the ride.
ŌĆ£Watch over all of our people,ŌĆØ Cherokee Nation member Tommy Wildcatt said as part of a prayer for the journey. ŌĆ£Give us food, keep us safe.ŌĆØ
Eastern Band riders were selected in January and range in age from 15 to 54. In addition to physical training leading up to the journey, riders also take classes in leadership, the Cherokee language and tribal history.
ŌĆ£All of it is such a learning experience,ŌĆØ said Kelsey Owl, a 25-year-old Eastern Band cyclist.
Owl said her husband had gone on the ride previously. This year she was determined to go herself.
ŌĆ£He had such a wonderful experience,ŌĆØ Owl said, ŌĆ£and talked about how many relationships he built and the learning of the history.ŌĆØ
Another local rider, school teacher Richard Snead, is making the trek with his daughter. He feels the 19th-century removal of Native American tribes to lands west of the Mississippi River is a chapter of American history that holds valuable lessons worth remembering.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs really, to me, a cautionary tale for everybody about when a government runs amok,ŌĆØ Snead said, referencing the fact that the removal conflicted with an earlier Supreme Court decision. ŌĆ£The President of the United States basically said ŌĆśI donŌĆÖt care.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Yona Wade, a member of the Eastern Band who rode in last yearŌĆÖs Remember the Removal ride, said he felt the ride also served to remind people about the Cherokee peopleŌĆÖs resilience. Further, he pointed to the Eastern Band ŌĆö the Cherokee faction that remained in the East ŌĆö as proof that the removal had proven ultimately unsuccessful.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre still here. If itŌĆÖd worked like it was suppose to, weŌĆÖd all be out West,ŌĆØ Wade said. ŌĆ£Yes, the Trail of Tears was a pivotal point in our history, but weŌĆÖre still here.ŌĆØ
Speaking to the cyclists and those gathered to support them, Hicks also touched on the survival theme.
ŌĆ£We have survived a lot,ŌĆØ the Chief said. ŌĆ£Our history has not always been pretty, but weŌĆÖre still here. We are blessed.ŌĆØ
Hicks also spoke about the demands that would be made of the bike riders over the course of their journey. He recalled the struggles of their ancestors and implored them to keep the Cherokee who faced removal in their minds as they retraced the Trail of Tears.
ŌĆ£This is going to be a very emotional trip for you. ItŌĆÖs going to be a physically enduring trip. I know youŌĆÖre prepared,ŌĆØ the Chief told them. ŌĆ£When it starts to get hot and your body feels weak, I want you to remember the endurance our people had.ŌĆØ
Author discusses CherokeeŌĆÖs forced exodus, American duality
Author Sarah Vowell is from Oklahoma and is part Cherokee. She estimates her Cherokee heritage at about 1/8 on her motherŌĆÖs side and 1/16 on her fatherŌĆÖs side, and notes that ŌĆ£being at least a little Cherokee in northeastern Oklahoma is about as rare and remarkable as being a Michael Jordan fan in Chicago.ŌĆØ
In the 1990s, Vowell and her twin sister retraced the path of the CherokeeŌĆÖs forced removal from the Southeast to Oklahoma. The journey was chronicled in 1998 on National Public RadioŌĆÖs ŌĆ£This American Life.ŌĆØ
Since then, Vowell ŌĆö a New York Times-best selling author ŌĆö has written six books on American history and culture. On May 30, she ventured to Jackson County to deliver an address to the Cashiers Historical SocietyŌĆÖs ninth annual Jan Wyatt Symposium entitled ŌĆ£Unspeakable Journey: The Removal of the Cherokee.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£The removal was done at gunpoint by the U.S. Army, it was done be force,ŌĆØ Vowell told attendees. ŌĆ£Not everyone was happy about it. There was a lot of protest about it. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote some pretty things about it.ŌĆØ
After her address, Vowell sat down for some book signings, and also spoke a bit more about her journey retracing the Cherokee removal. The author described the trip with her sister as ŌĆ£scatterbrained,ŌĆØ ŌĆö ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt really think about it too muchŌĆØ ŌĆö and recalled how the pair took time to look at points along the way where fallen Cherokee were buried, before getting back in the car, stopping for barbecue and then looking at more Cherokee gravesites.
ŌĆ£What IŌĆÖve always been interested in is America, and it turned into such a perfect way to talk about America,ŌĆØ the author said.
Vowell pointed to conflicting dualities common throughout the American landscape. She pointed to a visit she had taken to a museum featuring an exhibit focusing on the 1960s. During the visit, there was a moment when she was confronted with the competing themes of the Great Society ŌĆö with its goals of eliminating poverty and racial injustice ŌĆö and images depicting the ravages of the Vietnam War. In the background, the song ŌĆ£Louie, LouieŌĆØ played over the museum sound system.
ŌĆ£To me, thatŌĆÖs the country,ŌĆØ Vowell said. ŌĆ£You canŌĆÖt have one of these things without the other if you want to accurately talk about the U.S.ŌĆØ
During her presentation, a member of the audience noted the duality of the CherokeeŌĆÖs historical trajectory ŌĆö contrasting the groupŌĆÖs forced removal with the modern concept of casinos on Native American reservations ŌĆö and wondered if some sense of justice could be derived from such an arc.
ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs called poetic justice,ŌĆØ Vowell answered dryly. ŌĆ£Which is different than actual justice.ŌĆØ

Jane Lew Lions Club race moves
The Jane Lew Lions Club's 28th annual General Lightburn 5K and 1 Mile Runs and the 5K Wellness Walk sponsored by Consol Energy have been moved from busy Jane Lew roadways to Stonewall Resort.
Lions Club members viewed the heavy traffic in Jane Lew on U.S. 19 and Hackers Creek Road too busy and too dangerous. After discussions with resort staff, the decision was made to move the 28th event to the resort. The course will now take runners and walkers throughout the picturesque grounds of the park and across the lake walkway.
On race day, April 27, the resort and the state park surrounding it will provide beautiful spring views.
Runners, walkers, families and friends of all ages are invited to participate in this annual event.
The race is a sanctioned event by USA Track and Field, and timing services will be done by The Runner's High from Grove City, Pa. The Wellness Walk is a noncompetitive event for health and fun. Children 12 years of age and younger are invited to walk with no entry fee when accompanied by a parent.
Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital is providing a Wellness Check during the event. Its staff will offer blood pressure, weight and height measurements along with BMI calculations. This is a continuation of the hospital's initiative to support "West Virginia on the move" and encourage local residents to get "Lewis County on the move."
Stonewall Resort is offering special room rates for those interested in staying overnight or for the weekend.
Proceeds from the event will be used to provide local and statewide community service projects. No administrative costs are paid from funds collected from the public.

What's important about picking a Quit Day?
Once you've decided to quit, you're ready to pick a quit date. This is a very important step. Pick a day within the next month as your Quit Day. Picking a date too far away can allow you time to rationalize and change your mind. But you want to give yourself enough time to prepare and come up with a plan. You might choose a date with a special meaning like a birthday or anniversary, or the date of the Great American Smokeout (the third Thursday in November each year). Or you might want to just pick a random date. Circle the date on your calendar. Make a strong, personal commitment to quit on that day.
Remember that if you're planning to use a prescription drug, you will need to talk with your doctor about getting it in time for your Quit Day. If you plan to use bupropion (Zyban) or varenicline (Chantix), you must start taking the drug at least a full week, or maybe even 2 weeks, before your Quit Day. Talk with your doctor about exactly when to start, and how to use the medicine. Also find out what side effects to watch for and report. If you are using a prescription drug, put a note on your calendar to remind you when to start taking it.
Prepare for your Quit Day
There's no one right way to quit. Most smokers prefer to quit cold turkey – they stop completely, all at once, with no medicines or nicotine replacement. They smoke until their Quit Day and then quit. Some may smoke fewer cigarettes for a few weeks before their Quit Day. Another way is to cut down on the number of cigarettes you smoke a little bit each day. This way, you slowly reduce the amount of nicotine in your body. You might cut out cigarettes smoked with a cup of coffee, or you might decide to smoke only at certain times of the day. It makes sense to cut down before your quit date in order to reduce withdrawal symptoms, but this can be hard to do.
Quitting smoking is a lot like losing weight: it takes a strong commitment over a long time. Smokers may wish there was a magic bullet – a pill or something that would make quitting painless and easy – but there's no such thing. Nicotine replacement can help reduce withdrawal symptoms, but it works best when used as part of a stop-smoking plan that addresses both the physical and psychological components of quitting smoking.
Here are some steps to help you get ready for your Quit Day:
- Pick the date and mark it on your calendar.
- Tell friends and family about your Quit Day.
- Get rid of all the cigarettes and ashtrays in your home, car, and at work.
- Stock up on oral substitutes – sugarless gum, carrot sticks, hard candy, cinnamon sticks, coffee stirrers, straws, and/or toothpicks.
- Decide on a plan. Will you use NRT or other medicines? Will you attend a stop-smoking class? If so, sign up now.
- Practice saying, "No thank you, I don't smoke."
- Set up a support system. This could be a group program or a friend or family member who has successfully quit and is willing to help you. Ask family and friends who still smoke not to smoke around you, and not to leave cigarettes out where you can see them.
- If you are using bupropion or varenicline, take your dose each day leading up to your Quit Day.
- Think about your past attempts to quit. Try to figure out what worked and what didn't.
Successful quitting is a matter of planning and commitment, not luck. Decide now on your own plan. Some options include using nicotine replacement or other medicines, joining a stop-smoking class, going to Nicotine Anonymous meetings, using self-help materials such as books and pamphlets, or some combination of these methods. For the best chance at success, your plan should include at least 2 of these options.
Your Quit Day
On your Quit Day:
- Do not smoke. This means not at all – not even one puff!
- Keep active – try walking, short bursts of exercise, or other activities and hobbies.
- Drink lots of water and juices.
- Start using nicotine replacement if that's your choice.
- Attend a stop-smoking class or follow your self-help plan.
- Avoid situations where the urge to smoke is strong.
- Avoid people who are smoking.
- Drink less alcohol or avoid it completely.
- Think about how you can change your routine. Use a different route to go to work. Drink tea instead of coffee. Eat breakfast in a different place or eat different foods.
Read on to find out more about the kinds of thoughts and temptations that come up when you try to quit, as well as ideas for ways to deal with or avoid them.

Kitchens seem to be the one room of the house that often lacks style and sophistication. Perhaps, that is because that kitchens are the one place in the home where functionality is more important that than style. After all, no matter how beautiful and sophisticated a kitchen looks, if you can't cook in it then the room is practically worthless, so it is only natural that most home owners would choose function over aesthetics when it comes to that kitchen décor. But, what if this didn't have to be the case? What if there was a way to keep your kitchen's functionality completely intact while still being able to bring your kitchen beautifully alive and add a bit of sophistication? Well, luckily there is by adding some metal backsplash tiles to your kitchen décor.
Doing your entire backsplash in metal backsplash tiles can brighten even the dullest kitchen and give it an entirely new look. You can also blend a few metal tiles in with your current backsplash tiles to give your entire kitchen a pick me up sophisticated style without breaking the bank.
You can find an array of choices in metal backsplash tiles. Choose from stainless steel, copper, pewter, or aluminum or even choose between solid metal tiles and cast metal tiles with a resin polymer base and real metal face.
Copper tiles can add both sophistication and warmth to those backsplash tiles and serve as focal point as well. Copper tiles come in both sophisticated designs and interesting murals so they can add depth as well as beauty to your kitchen.
Stainless steel tiles are perfect for those of you who have those lovely stainless steel appliances and adding one or a few stainless steels tiles to your kitchen backsplash can pull your entire kitchen together and give it a more refined and sophisticated look.
Pewter tiles can add an old fashion air to any country kitchen giving it a look of real authentic country tradition and adding just the right texture to liven up those traditional backsplash tiles. Pewter backsplash tiles goes extremely well with those granite and quartz counter tops and adds an element of surprise sophistication to the overall look of your kitchen.
Cast metal backsplash tiles come in 1" by 1" up to 4" by 4" squares making them perfect to scatter throughout your backsplash adding real beauty to any kitchen. There are several great designs to choose from and the embossed designs can add a new element to texture to your kitchen that enhances it beauty while leaving it's functionality untouched.
Keep in mind that stunning metal tiles aren't just for kitchens, but look great in the bathroom, and can even be used to enhance that family room or den. These extremely versatile tiles are a great way to enhance the beauty of your home with having to pay for a complete renovation.
The great thing about metal backsplash tiles is that they not only add eye catching beauty to your kitchen, they also add value to your home. In this day and age with so many homes on the market, having something that adds warmth and appeal to your home is a good thing. Studies have shown that having an appealing kitchen and bathroom are the two things that buyers want most.

Hawaii Attorney General David M. Louie announced Wednesday that Hawaii homeowners should begin to check their mailboxes for notifications from mortgage loan servicers informing homeowners that they may be eligible to receive principal and interest rate reduction on their home mortgages.
The letters are being sent to qualified homeowners as required by the historic multi-state mortgage foreclosure settlement between the State of Hawaii and Bank of America Corp., J. P. Morgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., CitiGroup, Inc., and Ally Financial, Inc. Ally is the parent of GMAC Mortgage.
"We have been informed that both Bank of America and Wells Fargo have already begun to reach out to eligible homeowners, and we expect the remaining three to follow shortly," said Attorney General Louie. "Under the settlement, the banks are required to provide real relief to distressed homeowners in Hawaii which, in many instances, will mean considerably lower interest rates and principal reduction. Upon receipt, Hawaii homeowners should carefully review the proposals to ensure that they receive all benefits for which they are eligible."
If homeowners have questions or concerns regarding the notification process they should contact their loan servicer at the following toll free numbers:
- Ally/GMAC: 800-766-4622
- Bank of America: 877-488-7814
- Citigroup: 866-272-4749
- J.P. Morgan Chase: 866-372-6901

Between the Covers1 of 13
By Shannan Rouss
There's nothing like a good book to completely take you out of your head for a few hours, possibly an entire day. To help you escape, the Glo team has rounded up 12 new reads that will transport you to Paris in the 1960s, a mysterious silk factory in Japan and a charming hotel in the Irish countryside. The best part? You never have to leave home. Heck, you don't even have to get out of bed.
In a Word: Steamy2 of 13
The Boy by Lara Santoro
It's like a much, much more sophisticated 50 Shades of Grey, without the S&M stuff and lyrically written—so actually not like 50 Shades at all. The narrator is a recovering alcoholic and a single mother, who is drawn to her neighbor's college dropout son, the titular boy half her age. The 192-page book is a quick read with an ending that's both inevitable and heartbreaking.
In a Word: Witty3 of 13
Truth in Advertising by John Kenney
Plenty of books are described as "wickedly funny," but few of them actually are. This novel is one of the few. The most fought-over new read to arrive at Glo, Truth in Advertising is the story of Finbar Dolan, an adman slaving away for a diaper account and trying to keep his personal life together, after calling off his wedding and learning that his estranged father is dying. Let the hilarity ensue.
In a Word: Nostalgic4 of 13
A Week in Winter by Maeve Binchy
Dissatisfied with small-town life in Stoneybridge, Ireland, a girl's infatuation with an American boy prompts her to run away with him to New York City. When her fairy tale doesn't go as planned, she returns to Stoneybridge and turns a run-down mansion into a charming hotel by the sea. Binchy's final novel (she passed away in 2012) invites you to spend a week with the hotel's first guests, including a movie star incognito, a married couple struggling with death and a librarian with psychic visions.
In a Word: Haunting5 of 13
Vampires in the Lemon Grove by Karen Russell
With rich and vivid imagery, the chilling stories from the author of Swamplandia and St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves will linger in your mind long after you've finished them. There's the title story of a vampire in the Italian countryside who learns to subsist on lemons, a group of half-girl, half-caterpillar hybrids who must reel their own silk and a mutilated scarecrow that resembles a boy who's gone missing.
In a Word: Complicated6 of 13
The Affair by Colette Freedman
Told from the perspective of a wife, her husband and his alleged mistress, this novel offers a glaringly intimate glimpse into a marriage. You'll feel sympathy for all of the characters as each tells their side of the story.
In a Word: Authentic7 of 13
Tenth of December by George Saunders
This collection of ten stories has a sly humor that belies its deep sincerity. Saunders' characters may come off as quirky (like the naive teenage girl in "Victory Lap" who thinks her parents are "awesome" and wonders if you have to "like push the milk out" when you breast feed), but each one is strikingly real and human.
In a Word: Cerebral8 of 13
The Woman Destroyed by Simone de Beauvoir
In honor of the 105th anniversary of the author's birth, this book has been reissued with a sexy, updated cover that will no doubt draw in new readers. What you'll find is a gritty, not-always-flattering portrayal of three women, struggling to cope with their fading minds, bodies and love.
In a Word: Inventive9 of 13
The Last Girlfriend on Earth by Simon Rich
For anyone craving some comic relief, this offbeat collection will surprise and delight you. There's a re-imagining of Genesis, which includes God's needy girlfriend (she accuses him of "acting distant"), a love story told from the perspective of a never-opened condom, and an assortment of imagined missed connections from dogs.
In a Word: Nuanced10 of 13
The House Girl by Tara Conklin
Connecting the past and present, this book interweaves the story of Josephine, a 17-year-old house slave in the 1850s, and Lina, an ambitious New York lawyer in 2004.

In a Word: Passionate11 of 13
The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin

If you like your romance novels with a little history, plus some tragedy and betrayal thrown in for good measure, this fictional biography will keep you intrigued.
In a Word: Enchanting12 of 13
As Sweet as Honey by Indira Ganesan
As the author describes her own novel, it's about a very tall woman who marries a very short man. The tall woman is Aunt Meterling and much of her story is told by her young cousin Mina.

In a Word: Irreverent13 of 13
The Love Song of Jonny Valentine by Teddy Wayne
Whether you love or hate pop culture, you'll be able to appreciate this wry novel narrated by an 11-year-old singing sensation dealing with fame and family troubles. It's your classic coming-of-age story set in a heightened version of our celebrity-obsessed, tween-worshipping society.

Authorities said speed seems to be a major factor in a motorcycle crash that claimed the life of one man.
The Brown County Sheriff's Department says the accident happened about 11:30 Friday night on U.S. Highway 41 in the village of Howard. The crash happened when the motorcyclist hit a concrete barrier. He was thrown from his bike, then apparently struck by several vehicles.
Officials say the man was seen traveling at a high rate of speed just before the crash.
No one else was injured. A portion of Highway 41 was shut down for about five hours.
The man's name hasn't been released.

Blackmail suspect leads police on chase
Eric Blaisdell / Staff Photo Police take Jonathan Henry into custody in Berlin late Tuesday.
BARRE An East Montpelier convict who says he has 18 months to live and who was being held without bail escaped and evaded police for 2½ hours Tuesday evening before being returned to custody. He had been in prison on a probation violation that the Department of Corrections says involved blackmailing another man for $10,000 after performing a sex act on him.
Jonathan Henry, 28, left Central Vermont Medical Center where he was receiving medical treatment around 5 p.m. and ran toward Woodridge Nursing Home and down to Route 302, according to Vermont State Police Capt. Paul White. Henry followed the railroad tracks toward Barre before he was caught near the River Run Manor Mobile Home Park in Berlin, police said.
Henrys lawyer said earlier in court that he has advanced-stage kidney failure and has to receive dialysis several times a week.
White said Henry had completed his medical treatment and was preparing to be taken back to Northeast Regional Correctional Facility in St. Johnsbury. White said Henrys shackles had been removed to receive the medical treatment and two corrections officers were about to put the restraints back on Henry when he ran away.
Several law enforcement agencies responded, including police from Montpelier, Barre and Berlin and the Washington and Orange county sheriffs departments. Law enforcement also used a helicopter to help find Henry. State police say he was found by a police dog.
White said two corrections officers were escorting Henry at the time of the escape, which White said is standard procedure for a transport team.
After he was caught, Henry was returned to Central Vermont Medical Center for medical clearance, White said.
The days developments began with Henry denying the probation violation in Washington County criminal court in Barre.
According to the affidavit from Henrys probation officer Jon Sylvia, Henry met a man on the online marketplace Craigslist.com and the two met face to face. According to Sylvia, the man performed oral sex on Henry and Henry took pictures during the act. Sylvia says Henry then struck the man in the face with a pistol and threatened to shoot him.
According to a statement by the man, he met Henry on Jan. 27 in East Montpelier. After the sex act and attack, the man said, he and Henry went to the Berlin Mall, where the man bought Henry a video game and console for $529. The man said he and Henry then went to VSECU, where Henry got his account information and gave it to the man, telling him to wire $10,000 to Henrys account.
The man said Henry told him if he refused to give the money or went to the police, Henry would shoot the mans wife. The man said he gave Henry the money and Henry made him sign a note saying it was for a pickup truck.
In court Monday, Washington County States Attorney Tom Kelly wanted Henry held without bail given his criminal past and the violent nature of the new allegations. Kelly said criminal charges in the blackmail incident would be coming in the next week.
Kelly also said an Airsoft pellet gun was retrieved from Henrys residence when he was picked up Friday by Vermont State Police and the Department of Corrections.
Henrys attorney for the arraignment on the probation violation, Rosie Chase, argued against putting Henry behind bars, saying he has serious medical issues. Henry pulled up the left sleeve of his shirt to show a baseball-size mass on his bicep that Chase said was the result of a clogged artery. She said Henry was to have surgery on it Thursday at Fletcher Allen Health Care.
Judge Thomas Zonay agreed Henrys medical condition was serious but questioned how bad off he was if he was healthy enough to engage in the conduct alleged by the man.
The court understands your argument, but the court has a very difficult balance to strike, Zonay said. And that is, is there a significant public-safety risk from someone who is on probation after time in jail for a crime of violence, assault and robbery, and there is probable cause found for a violation of probation that they have done something very similar and put someone at risk. The court has concerns about that.
Henry was convicted in Washington County criminal court in April 2012 of assault and robbery with a weapon, a felony; unlawful trespass; and marijuana possession of less than 2 ounces.
According to court records, Henry and two other men entered the home of a Plainfield couple in 2011 and robbed them at gunpoint. He was given a sentence of two to eight years, all suspended except one year to serve, and six months home confinement. After his incarceration, Henry was placed on probation.
Sylvia, Henrys probation officer, told Zonay on Monday that the department was aware of Henrys medical conditions and would be able to make sure he got the treatment he needs.
Henry, against the advice of Chase, spoke in court, saying what the affidavit says is not how it went and he doesnt go around with guns threatening people. Henry said his medical condition is serious, with doctors having said he has 18 months to live, and that he wanted to spend that time with his family, not behind bars.
Zonay said that given the information before him Monday, Henry posed a public-safety risk and ordered him held without bail.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Baby Matters LLC, of Berwyn, Pa., is announcing the voluntary recall of 30,000 Nap Nanny® portable baby recliners. CPSC is investigating a report of a 4-month-old girl from Royal Oak, Mich. who died in a Nap Nanny® that was being used in a crib. According to preliminary reports, the infant was in her harness and found hanging over the side of the product, caught between the Nap Nanny® and the crib bumper.
CPSC and Baby Matters are aware of one other incident in which an infant became entrapped when the Nap Nanny® was used in a crib, contrary to the product instructions. In that incident, the infant fell over the side of the Nap Nanny®, despite being harnessed in, and was caught between the baby recliner and the side of the crib. The infant sustained a cut to the forehead.
CPSC and the firm have received 22 reports of infants, primarily younger than 5-months-old, hanging or falling out over the side of the Nap Nanny® despite most of the infants being placed in the harness. One infant received a bruise as a result of hanging over the side of the product.
Infants can partially fall or hang over the side of the Nap Nanny® even while the harness is in use. This situation can be worse if the Velcro™ straps, located inside the Nap Nanny® cover are not properly attached to the "D"-rings located on the foam, or if consumers are using the first generation model Nap Nanny® that was sold without "D"-rings.
In addition, if the Nap Nanny® is placed inside a crib, play yard or other confined area, which is not a recommended use, the infant can fall or hang over of the side of the Nap Nanny® and become entrapped between the crib side and the Nap Nanny® and suffocate.
Likewise, if the Nap Nanny® is placed on a table, countertop, or other elevated surface and a child falls over the side, it poses a risk of serious head injury. Consumers should always use the Nap Nanny® on the floor away from any other products.
The Nap Nanny® is a portable recliner designed for sleeping, resting and playing. The recliner includes a foam base with an inclined indentation for the infant to sit in and a fitted fabric cover and a three point harness. The first generation model of the Nap Nanny® can be identified by the absence of "D"-rings in the foam base. In second generation models, the harness system has "D"-rings in the foam base and Velcro™ straps inside the fitted fabric cover.
The recalled Nap Nannys® were sold at toy and children's retail stores nationwide and online, including at www.napnanny.com, from January 2009 through July 2010 for about $130.
The recalled product was manufactured in the United States and China.
Consumers with a first generation Nap Nanny® models, without "D"-rings, should stop using the recalled baby recliners immediately and contact the firm to receive an $80 coupon towards the purchase of a new Nap Nanny® with free shipping. Consumers with a second generation Nap Nanny® model, with "D"-rings, should immediately stop using the product until they are able to visit the firm's website to obtain new product instructions and warnings. Consumers will also view an important instructional video to help consumers ensure the harness is properly fastened. Consumers who are unable to view the video or new instructions online, should contact the firm to receive free copies by mail. For more information, contact Baby Matters toll-free at (888) 240-4282 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.napnanny.com/
Always use the Nap Nanny® on the flooraway from any other products

PwC is pleased to offer the 2013 second edition of our popular publication, Guide to Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets.
We have updated our accounting and financial reporting guide for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets - 2013 primarily to reflect the impact of new and updated authoritative guidance related to repos to maturity and other topics. These revisions are marked and summarized in Appendix C, Summary of significant changes of the guide. Content not marked as revised in March 2016 has been updated as of May 31, 2013.
This PwC guide offers a comprehensive exploration of a complex and still evolving area of accounting: the accounting for transfers/securitizations and related transactions. FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, remains the principal guidance in this area and was recently amended to address some important issues left unresolved by previous versions of the guidance and to respond to perceived flaws highlighted most recently by events related to the economic downturn. The release of new or modified guidance by the FASB is more than likely to continue as the Board considers practice issues that emerge in this innovative area of finance, as well as it continues to work with international standard setters to achieve convergence. We intend to keep you up to date through further communications whenever necessary and genuinely helpful.

Charles grew up not having enough food on the table. He wore tattered clothes and was not sure about his future.
Both his father and mother labored hard in the rice paddies all day long but brought home little money. When his mother got sick, they did not have money to take her to the hospital.
Charles never found out why she was sick. She just grew weaker by the day, until finally she died. He still wonders if the disease his mother succumbed to was curable.
Charles has all the reasons in the world to be sad. But he is not sad. Today, Charles is a pastor with faith in God and a positive outlook.
"My main goal in life is to help poor children, educate them, and lead them to the Lord."
When Charles turned 16, he attended a youth camp for Compassion-assisted youth and it changed his life completely.
"The guest speaker talked about the Potter's Hand, and I pictured myself in the hands of God."
He now considers that everything that happened in his life was "by design of the Master." The hardships he and his family endured were for a purpose.
"That Compassion camp in 2004 had such a big impact on me. We talked about confession and transformation, and these two things established my life."
It was in that camp where Charles gave his life to the Lord. He went back home a changed young man and began leading, teaching and counseling his fellow young people at church and in the center.
He later entered Bible school and spent five years pastoring tribal people in the mountains of Negros Occidental, a province of the Philippines.
Charles' heart bleeds for youths because he has seen many of his friends who began well in the center grow up to become rebellious teenagers. He has counseled young women who got pregnant out of wedlock, young men who fell into drug addiction, and many others who have lost their fire for the Lord.
Charles is now one of the young pastors of the Ma-ao Central Evangelical Church in Ma-ao, Negros Occidental. He serves as a caseworker for Buasdamlag Child Development Center, teaching and caring for sponsored children, and at the same time evangelizing and discipling their families.
Every day he visits the families he serves. He makes his rounds on a borrowed bicycle early in the morning to remind the children to come to their classes at 9 a.m. Then he goes back to the center to fix the room, clean the area and prepare his materials.
Every day he teaches seven to 10 of the 4- to 5-year-old students about "everything they need to know: the alphabet, arithmetic, songs and Bibles stories," and he sees himself serving little children for Jesus for a long, long time.
"I am excited to soon see the fruits of my labor in the lives of the children as they will grow to become successful in life. What makes me happy is to see these children learning how to read and write and knowing the Lord."

The Professional Semester
Bluefield State College operates on a block system for scheduling student teaching. A semester is reserved for the student in which he/she will schedule a block of professional education. The class week is viewed as 8:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, meaning that students may be required to attend seminars and workshops during the day, the evening, or weekends during the student teaching experience. The first part of the semester will be devoted to classes on the Bluefield campus. A minimum of 12 weeks during the last part of the semester will be devoted to full-time student teaching in the public schools. Students wishing to pursue more than two content specializations may be required to spend an additional period of time in full-time student teaching.
For admission to the professional semester, the student must:
File the appropriate application with the Director of Teacher Education early in the semester prior to the one in which student teaching is to be done.
Have completed all General Studies requirements.
Have completed all of the pre-requisite Professional Education courses.
Have completed all required courses in their teaching specialization. Exceptions will be considered if the student lacks only one course in each specialization.
Have earned an overall grade point average of 2.75, or better.
Have completed a minimum of 96 semester credit hours.
Be interviewed by faculty to review status and pre-plan student teaching placement before completing registration for the professional semester.
Upon successful completion of the professional semester, and all program requirements, which include taking the required Praxis II exams prior to graduation (Elementary Education Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment; Principles of Learning and Teaching, and Middle School English, Science, Social Studies or Mathematics) and submission of the Student Teaching Portfolio, the student may apply for certification through the Director of Teacher Education. Certification is granted by the West Virginia Department of Education upon passing the Praxis I (pre-professional skills tests), Praxis II in the chosen teaching field(s), maintaining at least an overall 2.75 grade point average, and successfully completing student teaching in each programmatic level for which certification is sought (ex. K-6, 5-9).

Weeklong celebration recognizes student employees
Posted on April 08, 2013
With more than 3,500 student employees at Grand Valley this academic year, it's no wonder the campus community it able to run as smoothly as it does.
The Student Employment Office will host the annual Student Employee Appreciation Week this year from April 8-12.
"I couldn't begin to do my job without the students who work alongside me and bring such value and fresh perspective each day," said LeaAnn Tibbe, assistant director for the Office of Student Life.
Students Bryan Beran, Rosie Cool and Amber Cullison said that working for the Office of Student Life has both connected them with the university and helped them to grow professionally. "I truly appreciate how much the Office of Student Life and Grand Valley values and invests in us as both employees and students," said Cullison. "I also appreciate their flexibility and willingness to work with our schedules."
Some of the largest employers of students on campus are Campus Dining, Athletics, Facilities Services, Office of Student Life and the Student Academic Success Center. Studies conducted by the National Association of Student Employment Administrators show that "students who work, do as well or better academically than students who do not work."
Anna Hesselschwerdt, a student who works for the History Department, said, "Having an on-campus job made me grow up very quickly, and through my experiences, I have developed organizational skills and become more efficient as both a student and an employee."
Michelle Duram, office coordinator for the History Department, said she couldn't imagine their office without student workers. "I think we benefit from the experience just as much as the student employees do," said Duram.
Events and activities include:
- Office Decorating and Photo Contest, April 8: Students can win a pizza party for their office by decorating their workplace and sending a photo to firstname.lastname@example.com by 1 p.m. on April 9. Voting will take place online.
- Volleyball Tournament and Hot Dog Roast, April 17, noon-1 p.m., Robinson Field: Students and their coworkers can compete for a trophy and office lunch party by competing in the first annual tournament. The Hot Dog Roast at DeVos Center will take place April 10, noon-1 p.m.
- Indulge Day, April 11, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., Kirkhof Center, 2204: Student employees are invited to indulge in deserts and massages.

I might be being totally unfair on the lad, and that might be JK instructions to him to just distribute the ball, but every time he gets it he never seems to draw his man by running at the defensive line and committing a defender, he just seems to fire the pass out. Again I may be wrong on this and it might be just me, but I can't remember him ever running and taking defenders on by going for the gap and having a dart.
I'd get Moore back in. In terms of using Hemingway at 13, I don't think you can leave Ash out TBH. Ash was arguably our MOM against Hunslet, and we don't half miss him for breaking tackles and his work rate.
I've never been Ash's biggest fan, but I am warming to him. I'd much rather have a ball handling 13 or another big tackle buster in the pack in his place, but in the last couple of seasons, I'd bet Ash is somewhere near the top of the tree in terms of line-breaks and certainly up there in terms of defensive work so I don't think you can leave him out TBH. I thought we really missed him at Donny.

Aye, but its' not really a factor in this debate. Both are very reliable and match winning kickers.
The benefits of a reliable kicker should never be underestimated as we know to our cost across the valley.

Anyway as said, it's a bit of a conundrum but a good one nonetheless.

Hemingway is getting more and more impressive every week and scored a very quick-witted try yesterday. Personally, I think it would be very harsh for him to be left out at the minute. His kicking has come on a bundle and in the last two games he has put the platform in place for us to win matches. Moore, like all our players now, needs to fight his way into the squad and then fight to stay there, just like Hemingway has had to do. It's a great headache for JK to have.
I quite agree it would be very harsh to drop him, his kicking won us the points against Halifax and has been excellent in general. I would still drop him though, as harsh as it is, but then again I'm no JK. The problem is, it is very difficult for a halfback to play themselves in to the team. I can't see how JK could ease Moore back in to form or the squad from the bench, like you would, say a forward, spelling them in odd games. The idea of having a half back on the bench when we are rotating hookers would surely mean too much time on the park for the forwards to get adequate rest to be effective.
So barring injury to either Hemingway or Black, or one of them having an absolute shocker, (which to be fair neither really looks like having) Moore could be out in the cold for some considerable time to come. It is a really tricky situation, Hemingway has not done anything wrong, far from it really, personally I wish he'd run more and it is only a minor gripe, especially given the fact we have only lost 1 game this season and played 2 of the top sides. If Hemingway is lacking confidence, and that is the reason for his reluctance to take the line on, dropping him would not help him one iota and only shatter his confidence further. Maybe the answer would be to rotate the halfbacks like the wingers? It is risky though and can upset the flow of the team.

A man's body recovered from Lake Monona Wednesday is that of a Kaukauna man reported missing in January.
The Dane County Medical Examiner said the man is identified as 26-year-old Charles Geurts. The medical examiner's office said more results from an autopsy are needed before determining the cause of death, but there is no evidence to suggest criminal activity.
Guerts went missing while staying at a hotel near Lake Monona on Jan. 26. He was in Madison with co-workers for a trade show at the Alliant Energy Center.
Madison police said K9s were able to pick up Geurts' scent off trees near the lake shortly after he went missing. A cadaver dog led police to an area on the ice where investigators drilled holes and used cameras to unsuccessfully search for Geurts' body.
"The dogs gave us the information that kept us looking," said Sgt. Chris Boyd with the Madison Police Department. "We had contact with the family and people were very committed to helping solve this case and figure out what happened to give some resolve to the family."
A citizen spotted what he believed to be a body while using his personal side-scan sonar on Tuesday, according to the Dane County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said Rick Krueger was using his sonar on Lake Monona Tuesday when he discovered the possible body in about 33 feet of water. Krueger said he found the body on his first pass over the area, finding Geurts' body about 100 feet from the area the cadaver dog identified in January.
The Dane County Sheriff's Office Dive Team recovered the body Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. about a quarter mile from Olin Park.
"It makes you feel good to be able to help the family," said Krueger. "Now they can proceed with the funeral and get closure."
This is Krueger's second time helping with closure. In 2006, he found a car underwater with two men inside, solving a 45 year old cold case. Police say in thousands of acres of lake, solving that case and this one is simply amazing.
"It's kind of like finding a needle in a haystack," said Capt. Joe Balles with the Madison Police Department.

2 arrested in La Crosse drive-by shooting
La Crosse police arrested two people in connection to a drive-by shooting on early Monday morning.
Police say two shots were fired into a house on the 2200 block of Kane Street at 2:17 a.m. No one was struck or injured.
Someone called 911 and gave police a description of the suspect's vehicle, which was later discovered had been stolen in the City of La Crosse.
A La Crosse police officer saw the vehicle on Winneshiek Rd. and tried to pursue it. The vehicle ended up in a snow bank in a dead end on St. James Street. The driver and passenger ran away.
Police later arrested Eric Loomis, 31, and Michael Vang, 27. Loomis faces the following charges: recklessly endangering safety (party to crime), knowingly fleeing an officer, operate motor vehicle without owners consent (party to crime), possession of a firearm-felon (party to crime), probation violation and resisting arrest. Vang faces the following charges: recklessly endangering safety, operate motor vehicle without owner consent, possession with intent to deliver-methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm-felon, resisting arrest and probation violation.
Officers recovered a sawed off 12 gauge shotgun in the vehicle along with two empty shotgun casings and several live rounds.
Police say the drive-by shooting does not appear to be a random incident.

Granted, it was a foggy morning and the car was parked in bad spot ŌĆö it was left along the shoulder of the highway partly protruding into the travel lane. But the wreck makes the sixth one so far this year for Swain deputies, and they are starting to add up.
During the last few years, wrecks by the sheriffŌĆÖs office have been ŌĆ£more than ever in our history,ŌĆØ said Swain County Manager Kevin King.
The car accidents are a mixture of deputiesŌĆÖ hitting things, and also being hit by other drivers. Total damage sustained during the first five accidents this year equals $24,658. Damage from the most recent accident is still being calculated by the countyŌĆÖs insurance carrier.
The reasons for the wrecks run the gamut ŌĆö from sliding on the ice or being backed into by another driver to the car catching fire or hitting a guardrail while responding to a call.
In the most recent incident, a deputy was driving to work from home in the morning and struck a car that was left partly in the highway. Cochran contended that the morning was foggy, and he did not know if the stopped vehicleŌĆÖs hazard lights were on.
No matter what the facts of the incident are, however, it always costs the county the same deductible.
ŌĆ£Every instance costs us a 1,000 bucks no matter what,ŌĆØ King said.
That can add up. This year, the county has already shelled out $6,600.
Plus, more crashes equals higher premiums.
ŌĆ£We are just like everybody else. The more claims you have, the more premiums over time you pay,ŌĆØ King said.
Swain County Sheriff Curtis Cochran questioned why vehicular accidents had become a topic of conversation.
ŌĆ£Is there nothing out there more newsworthy than a wreck?ŌĆØ Cochran asked.
With a sheriffŌĆÖs election around the corner next year, Cochran alluded that may be the reason why his department has come under scrutiny.
ŌĆ£I did not fall off the turnip truck. ItŌĆÖs to be expected this time of year,ŌĆØ he said.
Of the six wrecks this year, two involved Cochran. In March, he hit a deer, and then two months later, he hit a sign while responding to a 911 call.
Swain County Commissioner David Monteith said he tries to stay out of the business of the sheriffŌĆÖs office since Cochran is an elected official. Though, he did say that he wished the accident numbers were lower.
ŌĆ£One is too much, but I am not the one who drives the cars,ŌĆØ Monteith said. ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt get involved in it.ŌĆØ
Monteith added that he only knows what the sheriff has relayed about any of the incidents.
Driving for miles
Every law enforcement official in North Carolina takes a standardized driving course before receiving his or her badge. But as with anyone who has a driverŌĆÖs license, there is no continuing education driving classes required for law enforcement. However, this year as part of its in-service training, the Swain County SheriffŌĆÖs Office talked about avoiding wrecks.
In the last three years, Swain County deputies have had 13 collisions ranging in damages from just shy of $1,000 up to $27,700. Of those, five were the deputiesŌĆÖ fault; four were the fault of others. Comparatively, Haywood County has averaged one accident per year where a deputy was at fault.
Four times in the last three years, a Swain County patrol car has been totaled, and like with anyone else, the county does not receive enough insurance money to pay $30,000 for a new car.
ŌĆ£If your car is totaled tomorrow, itŌĆÖs whatever the value of it is,ŌĆØ King said of what the county receives on its insurance claim.
So, the county tries to salvage even the totaled vehicles if they can.
Unlike average civilians, sheriffŌĆÖs deputies put hundreds of miles on their cars every day. Cochran estimated that the sheriffŌĆÖs office as a whole drives between 300,000 and 500,000 miles annually.
ŌĆ£We travel a lot of miles in a years time,ŌĆØ Cochran said. ŌĆ£If you factor that in, it is not a lot.ŌĆØ
They spend a lot more time behind the wheel and therefore are more likely to have an accident.
ŌĆ£If you are on the road all the time, then that percentage increases very drastically,ŌĆØ Cochran said.

The U.S. Census Bureau offers fresh proof of the nation's linguistic diversity with a new mapping tool and report that show roughly where people who speak a language other than English in the home live.
Nationally, the percentage of people 5 years and older who speak a language other than English at home is on the rise. About one in five now do, but more than half of them also speak English "very well." The portion of Americans who do not speak English very well has held steady in recent years at only 8.7 percent.
Greater and lesser pockets of diversity emerge when one zooms in on the map. In California, 44 percent of people don't speak English at home. In Laredo, Texas, it's an astounding 92 percent.
In the heartland, English has a firmer hold. In Kansas, 11 percent of people speak something else at home. In Missouri, it's only 6 percent.
America remains a pluralistic society whose diversity is a strength.
Kansas erected needless barriers, passing a law in 2007 that declares English to be the official language for public business.
Missouri lawmakers have considered bills, too. Two years ago, the House passed one to require the state driver's license test to be administered only in English. Cooler heads in the Senate let it die.
The Census Bureau's map offers more than trivia. Communities can use the data to plan language services from translators who help emergency responders to English proficiency programs to library acquisitions. Govern-ment's job is to serve all residents, not just the ones who speak a preferred language.
More important, anyone can use the map to see that non-English speakers are among us. They are our neighbors throughout this great land.
We should not turn our backs on them just because they do not speak English very well.
-- Kansas City Star
