The valley is characterised by its uniquely high concentration of castles, making it both mysterious and historically inimitable. A central feature of this area is the mythical Loreley Valley near St. Goarshausen, where the song of a beautiful girl is said to have lured seamen into perdition.

'A Sense of Place:' collage by Cox
July 11, 2012 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — "A Sense of Place," an exhibit of collage by Fran Cox, opens with a reception on Friday, July 13 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Delaware Arts Center's Alliance Gallery at 37 Main St. The show will be on view through August 4.
"My work is abstract with a hint of a place," said visual artist and writer Fran Cox of her collage work. "They look three-dimensional but are flat, insisting on the realm of the imagination. There is a tension between inside and outside not unlike the tension felt while watching someone opening an envelope."
Cox, who lives in Warwick with her husband, creates a sense of visual space built from color shapes, elements of architecture, scale and depth. Her collage work is comprised of acrylic paint, pencil, zeroxes and photos. Her work has been exhibited at The Brooklyn Museum of Art, A.I.R. Gallery, Pratt Graphic Center, The Riverside Museum and East Hampton Guild Hall, as well as The Rugg Road Gallery in Boston.
"The pieces hold the essence of an experience, glimpsed for a moment out of the corner of the eye," she said, "like the rapidly changing images in the side-view mirror of a car."
Free and open to the public, the exhibit is sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, the Arts Council for Sullivan County, NY, and is made possible in part by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

While there are many issues facing elected officials this year, including in New York the reality of the newly imposed two percent property tax cap and reduced municipal revenues from taxes and other sources, the issue that stands out most is gas drilling: are you for or against, and where do you stand?
For some politicians, the best answer is to say they are neutral, such as Gary Maas the current supervisor in Cochecton, or undecided, such as Tusten supervisor Peg Harrison. For some residents in those towns, those positions have not been acceptable. In both cases, residents have persistently called on their supervisor to take a stand one way or the other.
In past years in Cochecton, Maas, who is running on the Republican, Conservative and Independence lines and has no opponent on the Democratic line, would have likely faced no opponent. But with passions about gas drilling running high, political newcomer Claudine Luschinger has mounted a campaign for Maas' job on the Rural Heritage line.
In Tusten, Harrison, a Democrat, who is also running on the Conservative line, would have faced a tough challenge from Republican council member Carol Wingert regardless of the gas drilling issue, because the two have faced off on numerous issues in the past two years. Wingert, who is also running on the Independence and Rural Heritage lines, has said that she is opposed to gas drilling.
But in this race, too, the gas drilling issue has produced an unexpected result: another candidate. Andrea Reynosa is running only on the Rural Heritage line, which is generally presumed to be anti-fracking, for a seat on the town council. In answers to questionnaires sent to the candidates by The River Reporter, both Wingert and Reynosa listed gas drilling as one of their top two issues.
The gas drilling issue has been prominent in just about all of the towns in Western Sullivan County. In the Town of Delaware, current council member Republican Ed Sykes, who is running for
supervisor, has said publicly he is in favor of gas drilling if the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation says it can be done safely. His opponent, Stephan Lundgren, running on the Democratic line, says local zoning provisions should be adopted that "regulate, restrict, or prohibit inappropriate and undesirable uses."
The situation is similar in the Town of Callicoon, with supervisor Tom Bose, running on the Republican, Independence and Conservative lines, questioning whether gas drilling will ever come to the town, but also saying that if the DEC does allow it, the town will protect "not only private property rights, but the health, safety, well-being and quality of life of all of our residents." His challenger Bruce Ferguson, running on the Democratic and Rural Heritage lines, who has been highly visible as an anti-hydraulic fracturing activist, says that fracking represents one of the "biggest threats to our local economy" and there are better ways to get the gas out of the ground.
In some towns, such as Bethel, gas drilling has become almost a non-issue because every candidate running for the office of supervisor or a seat on the town council has come out against drilling and fracking. Bethel, like the towns of Lumberland, Highland and Tusten, is actively working on a zoning amendment that would limit or ban gas drilling.
Will it make a difference?
With no polls available to track political races at the town level, it's hard to tell if the gas-drilling issue will spark a discernable reaction among the electorate, but there is at least some indication that the residents of Sullivan County have a position on the issue.
A poll commissioned by Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy, of which Ferguson is a prominent member, found that 69% of Sullivan County respondents oppose fracking in their town, while 27% support it, and 69% support zoning rules that would restrict fracking while 24% oppose them.
Critics have questioned the reliability of the poll, but the company that performed it, Pulse Opinion Poll, said in an open letter, "The survey was conducted using an established automated polling methodology. Calls were placed to randomly selected phone numbers through a process that insures appropriate geographic representation."
Bose questioned the validity of a poll that was spread across the entire county as opposed to one focused in only the towns that are likely to see drilling, which he said are Fremont, Delaware, Callicoon and Cochecton.
Ferguson countered that the county sits above both the Marcellus and Utica shale formations and if shale gas extraction comes, "it will probably proceed eastward across the entire county within a just a few years." There are signed gas leases in eight of the 15 towns.
Of the 500 county residents who were called for the poll, about nine percent are second home owners, who will most likely not be voting in the election. However, even with that in mind, if the margin against drilling is nearly as wide as reflected, it would not be surprising to see gas drilling having an impact in at least some races.

Actually I was hoping for more light, I thought for the price these bad boys would be piercing, but they don't really seem too much better than the daylighters. They were certainly far more expensive though. As far as ease of installation, KC takes that award for sure. I'll be buying another set of the daylighters, but would nbever again spend this much on the HIDs, its a waste of money, better to buy 3 sets of daylighters and still come out with $400.00 in your pocket!

Hello everyone, My apologies if there is something similar to this elsewhere I haven't time to read all of the posts ;)
My daughter is 7 1/2 mos. Very bright and very alert and aware. Purely breastfed but now eats solids 2x's a day very well and voluntarily. This is not a question about whether she should be weaned. She is self weaning, refusing the breast when offered. She will drink a little and then use her hand to push away. She still eats well at night but isn't waking up for it as often and does not fall asleep feeding rather takes herself off when she is finished and then falls asleep on the breast itself. She does still nurse a few times during the day.
My question regards how to supplement for her lack of breastfeeding. She has plenty of "wet pants" so I am not worried about dehydration. Her bm's are normal. I just wonder if babies get "thirsty" the way adults and children do? She will not drink from a bottle unless she absolutely has to (she seems to know) and she plays with a sippy cup. She likes the sippy okay but not reliable. Strangely (or not?) she likes to drink water out of my cup or my water bottle or a little baby cup that was my husbands.
Since she seems to be weaning herself fairly young (I loved my bf experience but I am also okay with her doing this, I am not going to force anything) I wonder how to get more breast milk (or water or cow's milk?) into her strong willed system? ;) I did read a little bit about putting milk in her food. I want her to get all the iron etc. she needs from the breast milk but I'd like her to learn to drink "normally" too vs always putting it in solid food.
Any thoughts?
Thank you all, blessings

Those classic HDD players just won't go away… Some time ago we already had Godbes' 128GB SSD ZV:M and my Cowon X5 CompactFlash mod on the front page. Now forum member Razorblader tried a more modern approach to beefing up his venerable X5 – with a state of the art 64GB SDXC card.
One advantage of SDXC over CF would be that it is a more future-proof storage medium, and that it will get huge capacities in the foreseeable future. Can't wait for the first half-terabyte X5, H300, or ZV:M.
While CompactFlash always was the medium of choice for professional DSLRs and as a cheaper SSD replacement in computers, due to ATA/IDE support, this seems to be changing at the moment – with SDXC cards promising more storage space, almost comparable speeds (for now), and a smaller form factor.
Razorblader used his 64GB SDXC card in an SD-to-CF adapter, then put this contraption in a CF-to-IDE adapter, which finally is connected to the X5′s IDE cable. This sums up to about $120 for 64GB of solid state storage. Not bad at all.
While most such mods are made to players running Rockbox, Razorblader took care to get the stock Cowon firmware working as well, by modifying the master boot record of the SDXC card. Sure is lovely having some BBE sound enhancements with your 64GB of tunes.
Read the full mod instructions in the forum thread.

A better wayNovember 20,2013
In some ways the state of Vermont has become a victim of its good intentions.
State officials are trying to devise methods for dealing with inmates whose mental problems are so severe they are likely to hurt themselves or others upon release and most certainly will end up back in prison.
Recent experience has shown that as many as 20 to 30 released offenders may end up needing individual one-on-one or two-on-one supervision and treatment. This level of supervision is extremely expensive, costing $3 million this year. One released offender in need of supervision may cost up to $500,000.
It wasnt always this way. In the bad old days troubled people were thrown into the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury, where authorities were much freer to commit patients involuntarily. People with developmental disabilities were housed in large numbers at the Brandon Training School. (Former residents of the Brandon Training School celebrated the 20th anniversary of its closing last week.)
Eventually, good intentions prevailed. Caretakers, families and policymakers decided there had to be an alternative to warehousing people either in Waterbury or Brandon. Warehousing is the word that is still used to describe the old methods. Large institutions were concerned mainly with providing food and shelter and were less able to provide individualized care or integrate people effectively back into their communities.
As Waterbury and Brandon gradually emptied their wards, communities worked to receive them. Group homes, work programs and community mental health services all grew up to provide the services needed to maintain people and address their special needs.
But it has not been a seamless transition. Nationally, problems of homelessness and drug abuse have been exacerbated by a free-floating population of troubled people who fall through the cracks of services offered. In Vermont people with mental health and drug abuse problems form a disproportionately high percentage of our prison population. Easing them back into the community is now what the state is up against.
We cant go back to warehousing. We cant continue to provide daily, intensive, expensive treatment. Thats why last year the Legislature created a special study committee to look at the problem. In the meantime, Human Services Secretary Douglas Racine put a moratorium on individual treatment plans and supervision.
The study committee has come up with a plan that draws on the states experience with drug courts and other programs that work to divert people away from the prison system and toward the help they need. The plan is called the sequential intercept model, and it is designed to grab onto a person in need at each point of contact with police or courts.
The first point of contact occurs after interaction with police. Thereafter, a troubled person may be intercepted before arraignment, after arraignment and before disposition of the case, or as part of sentencing. At each contact point, the aim is to steer a person toward help so he does not become a permanent acute case.
It is a forward-thinking proposal, though reality suggests that multiple interceptions wont alter the fact that some people will still have acute problems, no matter how many interventions occur.

Tribune Opinion: Gardner has good idea on water projects
April 12, 2013
Cory Gardner may be on to something.
The Colorado Republican is working on a bill that would speed up the federal permitting process for new water storage efforts, such as the Northern Integrated Supply Project, if they are endorsed by the governor of state in which they're built. Of course the bill isn't finalized yet, and the devil frequently resides in the details. We'll reserve judgement on the legislation itself, but we like the basic idea. Essentially, it would require federal agencies to deliver a "yes" or "no" decision on a proposed water project within about nine months of the time that the governor offers support to a project.
We need look no further than our own backyard to see why this is important. NISP has been in the federal permitting process since 2004. That means the 15 participating cities and water districts already have spent about $12 million on the project and have waited nearly a decade to find out whether they can proceed. That's too long by any measure, and there isn't any good reason to believe the waiting will end soon.
Of course, it's worth noting that Gov. John Hickenlooper hasn't yet endorsed NISP, and some people have concerns about the project.
Still, we doubt it would take Hickenlooper a decade to make up his mind.
We understand that the issues over which the federal government has oversight on these kind of water projects frequently are complex. We know that time must be built into the process to hear comment from the public, and we agree that oversight is needed.
In fact, while we support NISP, we're not opposed to the federal government declining to approve some proposed projects if there's a compelling reason to do so. The point is to speed up the decision. If a project were rejected in a reasonable amount of time, that would give water authorities the ability to tweak existing plans, or come up with a new plan altogether. Both those outcomes, at least, advance the ball. That helps everyone.
No one believes water storage projects should simply receive rubber-stamp approval, but anyone who's lived in this area for any length of time understands how important water is. The drought of the past two years makes clear just what a project like NISP means to this area. Because NISP hasn't yet been built, we've lost more than 1.4 million acre-feet of water since 2009. That would make a huge difference to farmers and thirsty municipalities in these drought years.
We think Gardner's proposal offers a reasonable way to speed up the process without doing away entirely with oversight.
We hope to see a bill.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
... ok that was a good chapter i predict no more flashbacks in the next chapter

1. what happend to the spiral one?
2. how did obito know where exactly naruto was born?
3. how did he get the knowledge to break the sealing on kushina?
4. why the name "tobi" and since when??
Anyway, concerning nagato, he probably joined when yahiko died where he raged and summoned GM, after seeing what he is capable of, he may thought tobi was right and turned his back on yahikos idea.. would also explain why he didnt resurrected him. Yahiko wouldnt have been on their side anyways.
Still want to learn more about Nagatos past.. i want to see everything
Btw, yahiko is awesome, great leader. kind of ironic that yahiko also represented the pain grp and was used as the leader of amegakure after he defeated hanzou.
btw, why killing hanzou in the first place? just to spread fear and get respected by the people?
Once he knew it was easy to track Kushina don't you think?
And again stop advertising another forum. Posting links to promote another forum ,breaking forum rules and ignoring warnings..... it's not nice and may get you perma banned.
Yahiko has the same ideology that Naruto.
Also I think that Obito already knew about Naruto's birth because he summons Kurama at that moment

607 was a hellishly beast of a chapter, is it me or is hashi getting more scary with every manga that comes out? The wooden dragon jutsu is heart stoppingly cool, I seriously wonder what are the limits of Mokuton, cuz as of right now it has no ceiling.
i didnt want to see flashbacks forever but that was a real quik sum up of evrything kinda wanted to see more .
glad there fighting again , almost looks like naruto's guna get caught up hope not
Done with the flashback!!!!!!! Thank god
Sucks about the break
if kakashi is somehow even able to stand much less fight obito, i'm quitting the manga lol
great chapter
Great chapter especially the ending when madara and naruto tangle this is gonna be awesome. And I really don't see how kakashi is gonna stand up to obito after all the chakra he has used up so far but I guess that's why gai is there haha
epic chapter !! how naruto will win this war ??? madara have rinnegan an ten tail ???
I still don't buy Obito's "I don't care about anything because of Rin's death" vendetta.
That Wooden Dragon................ holy crap. I like how Naruto's is owning it
Hashirama keeps on getting buffer and buffer every chapter
Obito and Kakashi is going to BADASS
Bee and Gai are out for the count, I like how Gai still wants to fight even though he's bleeding out the eyes more then a Uchiha
i was pissed for a second there , thanks god the flashbacks are over
my thoughts: hashimaras dragon is effing amazing , did not know that could be done with wood lol
what happen to gai he's messed up really bad , maybe we're no going to see 8 gates ever
i do think bee will get capture since the batttles seem to be set ..... madara vs naruto until sauke & oro arrive that is if they arrive
obito VS kakashi this one is personal
the allied shinobi forces will probably fight the ten tails THOUGHTS ?
gui got fodderized lol, but obito vs kakashi is going to be awesome
ALSO kakashi needs a medical ninja asap , maybe sakura or karin
Epic chapter. Can't wait for the next chapter. 5/5
Very good chapter. I like the pacing of the storyline, quite fast but with a lot of detail. I bet a lot of people are going to be thrown off in their power level threads seeing as Kishi is pitting Obito vs Kakashi.
Dayumn I've never seen Guy beaten up so badly, who did that to him? I don't like how Madara can use wood tech but oh well, makes things interesting.
Naruto doesn't seem to care about Madara being dead, but does he know that all his jitsu's are useless against edo? Unless a compressed chakara blast can do it which I highly doubt. oh and lol Bee is useless no Samehada this chapter either.
No new chapter next week!
Kash killed Rin because enemy about to reveal the secret of naruto's birth so he killed her to protect him. Madara's little "Change the world" speech quite very convince that will work on anyone who lost loved one. "If you're using Madara Uchiha's name you must be either a criminal or just an idiot" Yahiko is quite smart.

Here at Cracked, we take pride in our quest to chronicle the history of human badassery, from soldiers who make movie heroes look like cowards to people with the ability to survive pretty much whatever the world throws at them.
But there's a special kind of badass that doesn't get as much attention, and that's the kind that overcomes horrific violence with nothing but willpower, skill, bravery, and (to be totally fair) a somewhat stupid disregard for personal safety.
6 Private Desmond Doss: Half Rudy, Half Rambo, All Pacifist
From his 1942 enlistment in the U.S. Army, Desmond Doss was a living contradiction. He was a Seventh Day Adventist pacifist there voluntarily, but even under direct orders, he refused to so much as hold a rifle. He did have the excuse that he was going to be serving as a field medic, but his commanding officer still tried unsuccessfully to get rid of him through Section 8. Doss also refused to work on Saturday, so he had to make up for it throughout the rest of the week.
The Army was not the gentle and accommodating organization we know and love today, and all of this being a special snowflake stuff did Doss basically no favors. While praying, his comrades would chide and throw shoes at him. One of his comrades even told him that when the troop went into battle, he would shoot Doss himself.
"Just not in the mustache."
Then came the May 1945 Battle of Okinawa. Doss and his group in the 307th Infantry were forced to climb a 400-foot cliff to attack entrenched Japanese troops. Once there, they received heavy resistance. This is where Doss went the pacifist version of totally berserk. According to his later citations, at one point Doss ran "through a shower of grenades to within eight yards of enemy forces." Over the course of the next two days, Doss provided medical services and pulled soldiers to safety, and was credited with saving the lives of 75 wounded, including the soldier who had threatened to kill him.
"P.S. Sorry about that. It was war, you know?"
On the second day, one of those grenades finally got him and severely wounded his legs. Doss dressed the wounds himself and then waited five hours for someone to come and get him. When they did, en route to the field hospital under tank fire, Doss gave up his stretcher and told his bearers to carry another wounded soldier instead, which is about the point where you stop being a "war hero" and start being a "show off." The universe rewarded his willingness to abandon his cot by hitting him in the arm with a bullet when someone else tried to carry him from the field. Doss then broke his private vow to never pick up a rifle and tied one to his arm as a splint, thus becoming the world's only badass Mega Man Cosplayer, if one of the less accurate ones.
Doss crawled several hundred yards to the field hospital from there, and for his over-the-top heroism, he became one of only two conscientious objectors in American military history to win the Medal of Honor, which his tragically sincere religious conviction probably prevented him from using as a ninja throwing star.
However, the Bible doesn't say anything about chakrams.
5 Reverend Newton Single-Handedly Stops a Violent Mob
The Washington Times / Getty
In the 1970s and '80s, you probably wouldn't have expected that Los Angeles area reverend Bennie Newton would go on to perform a badass nonviolent act. This was because prior to his arrest, Newton was an armed robber, a drug dealer, and a pimp.
He dropped the loth for the cloth.
But then he was arrested and reformed, creating the Light of Love Ministry, as well as a company to help fellow ex-convicts get their act together. That company happened to be a carpet cleaning service, because real life is not above using contrivances straight out of some shitty Lifetime movie. And then, the LA riots happened.
In 1992, Newton was on his way to a peace rally. The police officers accused of beating Rodney King had just been acquitted, spurring the week-long race riots that would result in more than 50 deaths and 2,000 injuries.
Austin Times
And a Sublime song.
Newton ran into a particularly bad mob that had taken Guatemalan immigrant Fidel Lopez from his truck and robbed him of $2,000. Lopez was then hit in the head with speakers that nearly tore his ear off, kicked, and stripped, and he endured his genitals being spray-painted black. On top of all that, he was doused with gasoline, presumably to be set on fire. In other words, it was ministerin' time.
The Bible-wielding Newton, calling on his theological training, threw himself onto the soon-to-be-set-alight Lopez and shouted "Kill him, and you'll have to kill me, too!" The crowd was unwilling to murder a reverend on top of an immigrant, because even mobs have standards. Newton escorted Lopez to his truck, and, when no ambulances would risk driving out through the riot-ridden streets, drove Lopez to the hospital.
Jewish Journal
"Jesus! Do I have to do everything around here?"
Lopez and Newton stayed in touch, and when Newton was suffering from leukemia, Lopez often visited him at his bedside. The reverend passed away a year later, so we guess you could say that the LA riots turned out to be the final act in Newton's comeback story ... and you have to admit, it's not bad.

Ned Lang's response to Town of Tusten attorney Clemente
I wanted to take a few minutes to thank Mr. Mayer of The River Reporter for recording and reporting my comments at a recent town board meeting concerning the actions of the Town of Tusten attorney Jeffrey Clemente and the Town of Tusten itself. You were dead on in recording the statements concerning Clemente and the Town of Tusten and as usual, Clemente is dead wrong.
Now let's look at the facts. On June 20, 2011, I was served with a notice of violation by the code enforcement officer Igor Smetaniuk for the Town of Tusten, regarding a sign that I had attached to one of my apartment buildings regarding gas drilling. I explained to Igor that I would take down the sign as long as the 20 other signs around town that were also non-conforming, with an opposing message, be removed also. Igor explained to me that the town was only interested in my sign and would be following through with prosecution. Soon after this incident, Smetaniuk was relieved of his duties as the town's code enforcement officer as he was not a U.S. citizen and therefore could not hold a position in any form of government. I was arraigned in Tusten town court in August 2011, facing criminal and civil penalties.
Immediately after my arraignment, Clemente had an inappropriate, unethical, ex parte conversation with the judge in the library parking lot adjacent to the town hall. Clemente suggested to Judge Rufrano that I be penalized with a fine of $2,000 a day for each of the 48 days that the sign was displayed on the building. That's right—a $96,000 fine. As a result of this conversation, Judge Rufrano had to recuse himself from my case, which Judge Nuttycomb also did, and the case was moved to the Village of Bloomingburg by Judge Labuda. I also have an affidavit sworn to and signed by our former supervisor, Peg Harrison, confirming that Clemente did offer to the board this exact same penalty, as his feelings are, and I quote, "Mr. Lang has lots of money and can afford to pay such a fine."
On July 19, 2012 the Town of Tusten code enforcement officer Gary Amberbach came to my office and served me with five additional violations concerning graphics on a licensed motor vehicle, construction equipment stored on commercial property, an unlawful election sign and two other bogus violations concerning portable and political signage. I was arraigned again in the Town of Cochecton court as both of our judges properly recused themselves, and I was facing criminal charges and civil fines similar to the ones described above, as a result of the Town of Tusten's continued selective and discriminatory enforcement of the zoning law. In order to properly defend myself, I hired an outstanding attorney, who is well versed in the defense of individuals who choose to express their First Amendment rights and in confronting towns that have passed laws that violate one of the foremost rights that each American has, which is our First Amendment right. In fact, in this attorney's opinion, which he placed before both courts, numerous provisions of the signage laws contained within our zoning laws are blatantly unconstitutional and should be removed.
In conclusion, Clemente did choose to continue to pursue two separate actions in two separate courts over the course of the last year and a half, executing a specific and vindictive agenda against me in the most malicious and irresponsible way. Recently, the Town of Tusten was forced to drop the prosecution of both cases against me because in the first instance the code enforcement officer was not a U.S. Citizen and in the second case, because Clemente allowed the town to enact new zoning without any description of penalties for the violation of the zoning laws. Clemente states in his editorial letter to the editor that, "It is irresponsible for this newspaper to be quoting law from an individual, who is a septic pumper with a high school diploma, stating conclusions of law such as conflict of interest and selective enforcement when he is not schooled in law, nor has the expertise or legal knowledge upon which to base legal conclusions that he constantly asserts."
I believe it is Clemente who should reevaluate his understanding and expertise of our legal system, as he has been dead wrong in the prosecution of me over the past 18 months, and has now exposed this township and some of the town's officials to substantial liability. It was at the direction of Clemente that I was illegally arraigned and prosecuted when he knew that the town had no case against me, yet he persisted to prosecute and to bill the town, in order to execute his own vendetta and agenda. Even a septic pumper with a high school education has more common sense and knowledge of the law than Clemente when it comes to these two cases.
I have asked the town board to review all of Clemente's billings concerning the aforementioned cases and to ask Clemente for full reimbursement to the town for all his billings. Additionally, I have also incurred many thousands of dollars in legal expenses to defend my predominant right as an American, and I would suggest that the town also forward these costs to Clemente for reimbursement as he is the one who is solely responsible for such a terrible waste of time and money.

When Crystal Lake Central graduate Neil Groat planned his baseball future as a youth, it included a number of options, except one.
"Growing up in Crystal Lake, I didn't think I'd ever spend any time in Arkansas," the 30-year-old Groat said.
Since graduating from Central, Groat has spent all of the past 11 years in Conway, Ark., at NCAA Division III Hendrix College, where he became the baseball team's head coach this spring.
"It's a great opportunity to be a head coach at such a young age," he said.
Groat spent four seasons as an infielder at Hendrix and the past seven years as an assistant coach and the team's recruiting coordinator, where he learned plenty about the team's roster.
"I've recruited every kid in our program, so those relationships I've had with them sometimes go back to their junior year in high school," he said.
Familiarity with the players has helped Groat's transition into his new role.
"I think they were pretty happy (when I was hired), but maybe they lied," Groat joked.
Being a former Hendrix player also has helped in the transition at the school, which Groat said has students from 42 states and 11 countries.
"Hendrix is very intense academically," Groat said. "The average ACT score is 29. Our student-athletes put in some serious classroom time. I did that. It gives me a level of understanding about what they're going through."
Although winning on the field is a priority, Groat said seeing his players succeed academically is just as important.
Groat recalled telling one former player and his family during recruiting that the athlete could earn a Hendrix science degree and go on to medical school while playing baseball.
Four years later, that player informed Groat on the day he was accepted to med school.
"That was pretty cool," Groat said.
Hendrix is 4-6 this season, its first in the Southern Athletic Association.
Groat said his team will have "a workman's mentality. We want to be blue collar."
Groat credits that style of play to two of his former coaches at Central, Jeff Aldridge and Rich Czeslawski.
"They are Central alums and really helped instill in our teams that we were playing for a school and not for ourselves individually," Groat said. "That's something I really appreciate now that I'm coaching at my alma mater."
Roosevelt paces CCAC: Roosevelt University's women's basketball team is among a record five schools from the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference to qualify for the NAIA Division II national tournament.
Jacobs grad Maria Tamburrino, a junior forward, earned first-team All-CCAC recognition after averaging 14.3 points and a team-high 8.2 rebounds. She scored a team-best 17 points in the CCAC Tournament championship game to lead the eighth-ranked Lakers (27-6) to a 69-64 win against Cardinal Stritch (26-7), which got eight assists from Crystal Lake South grad Caitlin Mize.
Tamburrino and the Lakers, who also won the league's regular-season title, is a No. 2 national seed and will face Friends University on Wednesday. Sixth-seeded Cardinal Stritch opens play in the 32-team national tournament Thursday.
Junior guard Liz Bart (Cary-Grove), who ranks fourth in NAIA with 97 made three-pointers and averages 11 points a game, helped Olivet Nazarene (23-8) to a No. 6 seed and a first-round meeting Wednesday with Concordia of Michigan.
St. Xavier (24-6), a No. 5 seed, will face St. Thomas on Thursday. Hampshire grad Chrissy Heine averages 8.2 points and 3.6 rebounds for SXU.
Purdue Calumet (21-9) also advanced to postseason play.
Irish standouts: Cary-Grove grad Carly Loeffel won All-Big East Conference honors in the pentathlon while helping Notre Dame win the league's women's indoor track and field team title last weekend.
Loeffel, a sophomore for the Irish, compiled 3,915 points, 12 behind the event champion, Pittsburgh's Elizabeth Kline.
Loeffel's second-place finish helped ND post a school-record 141 points as a team to win the meet.
Fellow C-G grad and Notre Dame men's middle distance runner Eddy Gibbons scored in two events, helping the 4x800 relay team to a fourth-place finish in 7:33.77 and running to seventh in the 1,000 in 2:31.90. Gibbons helped ND's men's team place second behind Connecticut.
Gibbons ran a personal-best time of 2:26.04 in the prelims, the second-fastest time of the meet.
Czlapinski best in Midwest: Marengo grad Becca Czlapinski swept the Midwest Collegiate Conference's top two women's bowling awards last month, winning the league's Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year honors.
A freshman at NAIA St. Ambrose University, Czlapinski finished the regular season with a 187.6 average in 49 games. She produced four top-25 finishes for the Bees, including a top-five finish and two top 10s in tournament play.
Record-setter Udrenaite: D-III Concordia Chicago track and field athlete Kamile Udrenaite won the shot put and set a school record in the 20-pound weight throw at last weekend's Northern Athletics Conference women's indoor track and field championships. Udrenaite threw the shot put 38 feet, 6ľ inches for the victory. The Crystal Lake South grad finished third in the weight throw by topping her own school record with a toss of 47-1.

"Safe room" funding available in Ohio
The Columbus Dispatch - April 04, 2014 11:35 AM
Federal taxpayers will bear most of the cost of 39 "safe rooms" built in Ohio under a program announced this week.
Under the terms, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will rebate up to $5,250, or 75 percent, of the cost of installing tornado-resistant rooms. Such rooms can be built of concrete or other reinforcing material in a basement or an interior first-floor room, or buried in the yard.
Steve Ferryman, Ohio Emergency Management Agency's mitigation branch chief, pointed out in a news release that Ohio has experienced nine level 5 tornadoes (the highest level) since 1968.
Those interested in pursuing the federal dollars can apply for the Ohio Safe Room Rebate Program at the Ohio Emergency Management Agency's website.
The deadline is 5 p.m. April 18.
Homeowners are responsible for 25 percent of the cost plus any costs beyond the maximum rebate of $5,250. The money comes from FEMA's pre-disaster mitigation fund.
If more than 39 homeowners qualify, rebate recipients will be chosen at random. The program will be offered next year if funding continues, according to the Ohio EMA.

Consistent with all Peace Corps volunteer work, their efforts are aimed at the promotion of social and economic development and the reduction of poverty. To this aim, volunteers are using IT to enhance existing small, local entrepreneurial efforts, in order to allow once isolated communities to link to the world and find and capitalize on opportunities once completely out of their reach. Contributions to this fund will support Community and Volunteer projects such as creating school and public computer labs and teaching computer skills.

Artist and poet Monica Ong creates installations and interactive narratives that investigate social hierarchies and cultural silences in the context of public health. The silence of the daughter, the fear of losing face, and untranslated trauma are aspects of the medical/emotional landscape that her work evokes.
Monica completed her MFA in Digital Media at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her research has included fellowships at the Oral History Summer Institute at Columbia University and the Writing the Medical Experience Workshop at Sarah Lawrence College. She is also a fellow at the Kundiman Asian-American Poetry Retreat.
She has collaborated on designing digital poetry for Born magazine. Her experimental image.poems have been published in the Lantern Review and will be included in the forthcoming issue of The New Sound: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Art & Literature.
Recently, her narrative installations have been featured in exhibitions at the AC Institute in NYC and the Parachute Factory of New Haven, where she also curated the exhibition Critical Condition, focusing on the cultural silences in public health.
Chicago native Patricia Smith is the author of six books of poetry, including Blood Dazzler, a book of poems chronicling the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, which was a 2008 National Book Award finalist and one of NPR's and the Library Journal's Top Books of 2008; and Teahouse of the Almighty, a National Poetry Series selection, winner of the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award and the 2007 Paterson Poetry Prize. Teahouse was also voted the Best Poetry Book of 2006 on About.com. Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah will be published in by Coffee House Press in spring 2012.
Her work has appeared in Poetry, The Paris Review, TriQuarterly, Tin House and many other journals and is upcoming in both Best American Poetry 2011 and Best American Essays 2011. Smith has performed around the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Poets Stage in Stockholm, Rotterdam's Poetry International, the Aran Islands International Poetry and Prose Festival, the Bahia Festival, the Schomburg Center, the Sorbonne in Paris and on tour in Germany, Austria, and Holland. In addition to her poetry, Smith is also the author of the groundbreaking history Africans in America and the children's book Janna and the Kings, winner of a Lee & Low Books New Voices Award. She is a Pushcart Prize winner, a Cave Canem faculty member, and a four-time individual champion of the National Poetry Slam, the most successful poet in the competition's history. In 2006, during a ceremony at the Gwendolyn Brooks Center of Chicago State University, Smith was voted into the National Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent.
Smith is currently the editor of the anthologies Staten Island Noir and 100 Words and co-editor, with poet Tyehimba Jess, of the jazz poetry collection 21st Century Howlers. A dance/theater collaboration based on Blood Dazzler—choreographed by former Urban Bush Women dancer Paloma McGregor—recently debuted at the Harlem Stage in NYC and is being readied for future productions.
She is a professor at the City University of New York/College of Staten Island, and also teaches for Cave Canem and in the MFA program of Sierra Nevada College.

If the remainder of a polynomial function P(x) when it is divided by (x-2) is k+10, and P(1)=4, what is the value of k?
It would be really appreciated if you could help me out. I've racked my brain for the answer but I still can't find any way of applying the division algorithm or the remainder theorem to find an answer.

text: My ds, 8 wks old, has had awful baby acne for the past 3 wks or so. it's gotten progressively worse, and the past two days he's been frantically pawing at his face and scalp because it's itching. i thought it might actually be eczema. i called the ped's office, described his symptoms, and the nurse recommended aquaphor, which i applied with reckless abandon, but it only made him greasy . . . the bumps got more severe yesterday afternoon after being somewhat under control most of the day. sooooo, i took him in to be seen, and the ped told me it was baby acne. the ped told me that bf babies have more intense baby acne than ff babies because of mom's hormones passing through the milk. is this true? my first son was ebf for 14 mos, and he only had the "normal" baby acne for a couple of weeks and it never bothered him (only bothered me!). anybody have the same experience?

Understatement is the new black
It may have been a directive from her new backers to get the flashbulbs popping, or it may have been a natural desire to make those same backers sit up and take notice, but whatever impelled the prodigiously talented Nicole Farhi to produce for her Spring/Summer show last September lots of unwearable wisps of nothing held together with strings of delicate sequins has, thankfully, deserted her.
For her Autumn/Winter 2011 catwalk show on Sunday, the third day of London Fashion Week, and one of more than 150 shows on a hectic schedule, Farhi was emphatically back on form.
In a sleek, slick show which featured a tiny palette of colours comprising a gorgeously flattering French navy, cream, black, grey, white and rare jolts of colour via red or burgundy, she managed to strike the perfect balance between grown-up elegance and a pared-down, ozone-fresh aesthetic which will give her collection appeal across a wide age spectrum.
Flawless sculptural lines and a sporty, New York vibe, made even the simplest pieces desirable. High-waisted crepe trousers, some narrow, some wide-leg, were teamed with cropped, wide lapel jackets or with close-fitting, long-sleeve tops, plain or lavished with sequins. High-waisted, A-line skirts in flannel, pony skin or, for evenings, sequins, were teamed with simple sleevless tops tucked in or belted, or with sheer black shirts or close-fitting long-sleeve tops.
There was a wonderfully slouchy, slightly mannish, 1970s-style trouser suit in grey, a dead-simple, batwing sleeve dress with curving zips, and beautiful coats, including a navy priest's coat with cinched waist, bell skirt and wide sleeves, an oversized white parka, and a fresh take on her classic, wrap, shearling coat, in black wool, with vast cream lapels. For evening, there were sharp little A-line sequin-covered dresses, an immaculate floor-length navy crepe gown with cap sleeves and a perfect black tuxedo trouser suit, as well as wide-leg crepe trousers teamed with a crepe top, artfully cut around the neckline.
At Jaeger, design director Stuart Stockdale, was rocking a similar grown-up, understated vibe. In front of Jaeger's current owner, Harold Tillman, who has put Jaeger on the market after reviving the brand from near-death, Stockdale showed slouchy trousers and oversized short jackets with vast curving collars and revers, beautifully cut military coats in cream or tobacco; a sumptuous, oversized shearling coat with a collar big enough to be seen from space; tiny, cropped jackets in cloth or leather, and a gorgeously simple, belted crepe dress with invert pleat. Stockdale, who also had a pared-down palette of shades - olive, saffron, black, burnt orange, cream and the odd flash of turquoise - created a clever accessory, too: a sharp, collar-shaped scarf in mohair, that adds an edge (and warmth) to a simple coat or jacket.
Fyodor Golan, a collaboration between the Russian Fyodor Podgorny and the Israeli Golan Frydman, showed a beautiful, luxe collection of mainly eveningwear under the umbrella of Vauxhall Fashion Scout, which showcases new design talent. An unexpectedly mature collection - barring the odd leather gladiator mini-dress for the cameras - the designers showed exquisite, bias-cut dresses in navy crepe, a wonderful ecru leather frock coat, a bravura long gown in cobalt with tiny black bra top, sublime long and on-the-knee dresses in textured leather, a sublime, floor-length gown in ruched silk chiffon, perfect little sheer evening shirts and tops, and day and evening trousers given strangely appealing textural interest with extraneous folds of fabric.
Intriguingly, there seemed to be two competing sensibilities operating in the Fyodor Golan collection, one raunchy and one demure. By combining them, Frydman - who trained at London's Istituto Marangoni, and has worked with Alexander McQueen, Raf Simons and Issey Miyake - and Podgorny seem to have achieved a beautiful, edgy, yet still wearable collection.
Young designer Georgia Hardinge, who also showed under the Vauxhall Fashion Scout umbrella, was another exponent of a restrained palette. She used nude, pale grey, rich cream, black and a digital print in a sort of murk to create a collection of extraordinary accomplishment, maturity and wearability. She showed ravishingly well-cut, curvy little dresses with just-to-the-elbow sleeves in plain wool crepe, or combining plain and digital print, often incorporating her "spine" theme into dresses, skirts, jackets or trousers. It proved a clever device to give added texture and interest to beautifully pared-down and infinitely desirable pieces.

Lee Greets Philly Fans With A Win
Cliff Lee was welcomed to Philadelphia today by the fans. In his second start for the team, his first at home, Lee pitched extremely well. He went 7 innings and allowed only 1 run on 6 hits and 1 walk. While not as spectacular as his first start in San Francisco where he went a full 9 innings, today's start was more than acceptable and exactly what the Phillies were hoping to get out of the 2008 Cy Young winner.
Lee had some help; Jimmy Rollins went 3 for 4 at the plate and was just a home run short of the cycle. J-Roll also scored 2 of the 3 Phillies runs. Paul Bako, the Phillies back-up catcher, hit a solo home run in the game; it was his first homer since June of last year.
There were also several miscues in the game including an error by Lee, a ball missed by Ryan Howard that should have been an error, but was not scored as such, and J-Roll also missed a ball up the middle that he normally gets to. On top of that, the young Ben Francisco drew a walk in the 7th, only to get himself picked off at 1st base. Whoops! But through all the blunders, Lee remained calm and pitched through it. That, more than anything else, was very impressive.
Earlier today, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. announced that JA Happ will stay in the rotation. How this will happen has not been disclosed, although Ruben did mention getting "creative" to solve the dilemma. Could "creative" mean he likes my 5 ½ man rotation idea?? Hmmmmm…..
Whatever the case, good news for Happ! Likely what happens next is Jamie Moyer starts against the Marlins this week and after that, the real fun of juggling these guys begins.
Up Next
The Fish are coming to town! Tomorrow's 7:05pm game start time has been pushed back to 7:35pm in order to hold a special ceremony to induct our beloved Harry Kalas into the Phillies Wall of Fame. It is sure to be an emotional day for all as Harry's sons, friends and family of fans pay tribute to a Philly legend one more time. We still miss you, Harry!
And finally, here is the full Photo Album from today's Phillies – Rockies match-up and Cliff Lee's 2nd start.

Great win to go with the great news about Happ today.. you know J-Roll is going to hit that cycle before the season ends….
Still jealous you got my namesake(Cliff), but glad he is doing fantastic for you.
Never in my life did I think Happ would have to pitch for his job.
I hope the kid can stay in the rotation, I like the way he pitches.
I wonder if people still think they gave yo too much for Lee. Maybe with another shot at October he will be given a key to the city too.
Keep up that 7 game lead in the NL East.
Rays Renegade
Lee is fitting right in with the Phillies. You guys must be thrilled to have him in the rotation. I would be. Can anybody in the NL East beat the Phillies at this point????
It will be interesting to see what happens to your rotation when Pedro is ready to play.
Great photos as always and I'm happy that Lee has a place to play where he has a legit chance to win now every time out. Jenn, please check your MTR email. I am very sorry for my comment. I hope you understand and will pass that along to the appropriate parties. Thanks!

text: Has anyone out there had a success story about bracing to avoid surgery? My daughter is 14, with only a 24/20 S curve and pre-menarche...just got brace last week...and this is very difficult for her...this hits t such a hard time, already our girls are inundated with how they are "supposed to look", and now they feel even MORE out of place. My heart breaks every time I think about her struggles, but I know we are doing what we need to do for her now. I am so scared of surgery!

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Materials Science
National security depends on science and technology. The United States relies on Los Alamos National Laboratory for the best of both. No place on Earth pursues a broader array of world-class scientific endeavors.
- Materials Physics and Applications»
- Materials Science and Technology»
- Institute for Materials Science»
The scientific and technical area of materials has been a foundational capability at Los Alamos National Laboratory since the Laboratory's inception. The materials capability encompasses a wide array of technical disciplines, research topics, organizations, and sponsors.
Los Alamos National Laboratory's vision for its Materials Science Pillar is intentional control of the functionality materials. We will achieve this vision through the discovery science and engineering required to establish design principles, synthesis pathways, and manufacturing processes for advanced and new materials. Our materials science capability is driven by scientific challenges in understanding defects and interfaces in materials, exploiting emergent phenomena, and enabling materials performance in extreme environment. Six key areas of leadership have been identified:
Los Alamos scientists use equipment like the single-turn electromagnet to create some of the strongest magnetic fields on Earth. The fields are important to experiments that build a better understanding of advanced materials.
- Materials Dynamics
- Actinide and Correlated Electron Materials
- Energetic Materials
- Complex Functional Materials
- Materials in Radiation Extremes
- and Integrated Nano-Materials
This materials program enables innovative research and development at the boundaries of chemistry, physics, theory, and materials science that translates fundamental discovery to materials production in strategic areas such as actinide science.

Terms of Sale:
If you want to use a coupon or promotion you found on our site at Merchant Circle, Twitter, a blog, barbsbooks.com or a magazine ad, put the promotion or coupon code in the section for "Comments" on the order form. The shopping cart total will not reflect the promotion, but we will apply the savings or free item when we process your order.
We sell through two different store names on this site with two separate shopping carts -- Barb's People Builders and Barb's People Builders Teaching Help. If you order books from both store names, we will automatically consolidate the shipment and the shipping fees, but it won't show on either shopping cart. The total will be less than the two cart totals put together -- usually by at least $2.00 for media mail. We accept MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. We also accept PayPal, personal checks drawn on United States banks, and international postal money orders. We do accept school purchase orders. If you'd like to place one, please press the CONTACT US button.
Be sure and specify with the drop down menu on the order page if you want expedited (Priority or air) shipping (average 2-3 days in USA). Media Mail is our default if you don't specify. Economy shipping within the U.S. is media mail (average 7-28 days). Don't order economy shipping if you must have the book within 30 days. You might get it in 7 days, but it could, in rare cases, take 30 days. I will not send a replacement until 30 days have passed without your order arriving. If you need your order quickly, please order priority shipping. My default rate for media mail is $4.46 for the first book. Sometimes additional books will also be shipped in the order without an increase in postage. It depends upon the weight. The shopping cart default is a few cents higher because it also has to cover the CA tax on shipping. Only California people (or those who order heavier than usual items) will pay the complete default shopping cart rates. My default rate for anything that will fit into a flat rate priority envelope is $6.00.. Sometimes more than one book will fit. Most priority orders of over 2 lbs will be charged $11.75 for as many books as will fit in a medium flat rate box, or $16.00 if your order requires a large flat rate box. If you order too much to fit in either box, I'll contact you with an exact rate and get your permission before I ship. Keep in mind that the shopping cart uses number of items, not weight, in its calculations. This will normally calculate more than I will really charge you. I can always lower a postage rate without having to delay the order by contacting you, but I can't raise the rate unless I get your permission. So the cart is almost always going to calculate too much. I do offer a 50% discount on shipping for additional books in an order after the first book. We will always get your authorization if the amount needs to be increased.
Please ask for quote by email for shipping on orders shipped outside of the United States. Our default rates are best guesses. Where possible, we use global priority flat rate envelopes. If it doesn't fit, I would have to weigh your item and send you a quote if the default rates are too low to cover it. Please keep in mind that the default rates are usually the same for air and surface. The reason for that is because surface rates no longer exist for international mail from the United States. But since tomfolio.com has sellers in other parts of the world whose postal systems still offer surface postage, it's still on our list of shipping choices. All orders must be paid for with United States dollars
We send a notification by email when your order is shipped that includes the exact amount your credit card was charged. If your package qualifies according to postage regulations, you will also receive your delivery confirmation tracking number by email. We cannot get delivery confirmation on orders going outside the United States or to military boxes going overseas. Occasionally, you will get a book before the tracking confirms the book was mailed. This is a glitch that indicates someone did not scan the book when it entered the system. It doesn't mean the book was not shipped. In 17 years I've only had one package that did not arrive at its destination.
We guarantee your satisfaction. If you get a book that is not as described, you may return it at our expense within 10 days of receipt for a full refund. We do ask that you contact us with the reason before you do this.
If the books you order do not meet your needs we will cheerfully refund the purchase price, but not the shipping, if you return the book in the same condition as you got it, within 10 days of receipt. Please contact us first with the reason for your return.
If your shipment was damaged, let us know and we will make arrangements for return or discount, according to your desires. Please email for return authorization within ten days of receiving the book.
If you have questions about any book, we encourage you to contact us by email for further information before ordering. Whenever appropriate, we use recycled boxes and packing materials, if available.
Although we are trying to delete books from our inventory as they are sold, occasionally computer glitches or a rush on a specific title can make it necessary to backorder, if book is still in print, or cancel the order if it is no longer available. . A backorder will normally be shipped about 7 - 14 business days later than if a book is in stock. We will notify you within 24 hours if a title you want is not in stock and give you the approximate time it will take for it to come in. Your credit card is never charged until the book is being processed for shipment within 24 hours. If backorders are unacceptable to you, please indicate this in the space provided for comments when you place your order. Also, if you need more copies of a book than appear to be available, please email me with the number you need. I may have more copies than show up on the shopping cart, or if the book is in print I may be able to order as many as you need. Feel free to email me by clicking the contact dealer button to check availability.

We cannot imagine what is going to come next. [God] has set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end (Ecc. 3.11). No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him (1 Cor. 2.9). Stretch your mind and strain your eyes to build a sustaining hope.
HOPE is the theme to the new creation. The creation waits with eager (αποδεχομαι) longing (Rom. 8.19). αποδεχομαι [apodexomai] refers to an anxious, yet careful and patient waiting–a reservation of knowing something is coming but continuing in patience. Hope that creation will be set free from corruption to bring glory to the children of God (Rom. 8.20-21). We wait eagerly for the redemption of our bodies, we groan inwardly for the hope that we were saved by (Rom. 8.23-24). The new creation is unique–hope that is seen is not hope (Rom. 8.24-25).
So, where is heaven and hell? Heaven and hell are physical and not just spiritual. There is a resurrection of believers (1 Cor. 15) and a resurrection of unbelievers (Dan. 12.2; Rev. 20). Heaven and hell continue to exist after this creation. The Bible clarifies that heaven and hell continue after the moment God commands the cosmos to be "rolled up like a scroll" (Is. 34.4), to "disappear with a roar" (2 Pt. 3.10), and to "melt in the heat" (2 Pt. 3.12). This of it this way: suppose I have a paper with the image of Dante's universe on it. It's two dimensional (for the analogy to work I need to remove a dimension). If I crumble up the piece of paper the external dimensions where I am do not crumble up too. I can crumble the paper with those dimensions and still not be affected by it.
