Police: SHS catches student making bomb threats
BARRE A student suspected of leaving a series of threats to bomb schools in central Vermont was arrested at Spaulding High School on Wednesday.
The 15-year-old student, whose name police did not release, allegedly left another threatening message in the mens bathroom at about 7:30 a.m., according to Barre police. That was the seventh threat made against schools in central Vermont, including Spaulding, other Barre schools and U-32 in East Montpelier.
From the most recent message, police were able to identify a suspect, according to police.
Tom Sedore, principal at Spaulding, said faculty played a pivotal role in identifying the student responsible for making the threats.
The staff, who we had asked for help from, and one of our teachers were quite diligent about getting to us quickly, said Sedore.
The student was taken into custody and cited at the school Wednesday, said Police Chief Tim Bombardier.
According to a news release from Bombardier, the student admitted to being responsible for the messages.
The student is scheduled to be arraigned today in Barre juvenile court.
Bombardier said it is up to Washington County States Attorney Tom Kelly whether the student is arraigned on all seven counts of making false public alarms. On Wednesday, Kelly said he could not discuss the charges since the suspect is a juvenile.
According to state statute, the first offense of making false public alarms carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison or a $5,000 fine. For a second or subsequent offense, the maximum sentence is five years in prison or a $10,000 fine.
The student also faces expulsion from school, said Bombardier. Sedore said he would also like to see the student pay for the costs to the school incurred each time threats were made. Sedore said Spaulding has spent about $1,000 on robo calls alerting students and teachers of an emergency.
Sedore said he asked Kelly to include the costs to the school in the conditions associated with charges against the student.
Sedore said the arrest finally will give relief to the school community, teachers and students alike, who have become frustrated and anxious over the number of classes and after-school activities that were canceled as a precaution after the threats.
Its a huge relief to our teachers, our staff and our students who have been very good during this unfortunate event, said Sedore.

text: At around 2 months my son started fussing at the breast during feedings. He is now 4 months and the problem is a lot worse. I went to a lactation consultant and she said my supply is low but he is not losing weight so just keep doing what I'm doing. I am so frustrated the pumping isn't helping I do it after almost all feedings w/ the lactina pump. I also have been taking fenugreek and blessed thistle. Not working either. Every day I can tell its getting worse cuz he is eating less and less and I am pumping out less than a half an ounce after feedings. I have to feed him when he is almost asleep and sometimes when the flow is slowing down he wakes right up and starts fussing. He won't take a bottle or a sippy cup either so I can't supplement. I don't want to have to wait till he is losing weight to help from my doctor and lactation consultant. So if you could think of any thing that will help raise my milk supply. Also I've heard Reglan helps with a low supply. How do you get that and does it work?

A Tennessee state football championship ring that went missing in Franklin, Tenn., more than a decade ago resurfaced this week about 2,000 miles away in northern California.
Attorney Grover Collins is often found in the Metro-Nashville courthouse these days, but as a teenager he held a different title.
He was a high school running back for Battle Ground Academy, which won the Tennessee state football championship in 1998.
For that accolade, he proudly wore his championship ring.
"When we first got it, we were excited to win and were excited to have it," Collins said.
But Collins said it was sometime in 2001 or 2002 when he went to the gym, took off his golden ring and put it in his gym bag while he went to work out.
When he came back, the ring was gone.
"They just swiped the ring right out of the bag," he said.
Collins assumed it was gone forever.
"Never even reported it stolen," he said.
The 1998 team is legendary at BGA for a few reasons, including being part of back-to-back state titles for the school.
"Troy Fleming was a big player on that team who went on to play for the University of Tennessee and the Tennessee Titans," said Jason Gregg, director of alumni relations for BGA.
Gregg, who plays somewhat of a historian for the school, knew the missing ring was a big deal.
"I got a phone call from the sheriff's department in California, saying they'd found a ring and all the ring had on it was the last name 'Collins,''' Gregg said.
More than 2,000 miles away from Franklin, a deputy sheriff by the name of Matthew Kutz decided to do some research on the piece of evidence found in Madera County, Calif., during a random probation search.
Before the school even had a chance to look, the deputy had all he needed. He connected with Collins in a matter of 10 minutes.
"They called and asked me if I lost a ring. I said, 'Yes.' They said they found me on LinkedIn," Collins said.
Soon, the attorney will finally be reunited with his high school championship ring.
"It's just exciting, you know. I thought Metro had the finest police department, but I'm feeling good about Madera County, Calif., right now," Collins said.
It's still unclear how the ring got from Middle Tennessee to northern California or whether the person who had it is the person who actually stole it 13 years ago.
The ring is in the mail on its way back to Tennessee.

A Kansas bishop has been chosen to lead the eastern Iowa archdiocese.
The Dubuque Archdiocese says Bishop Michael Jackels, of Wichita, Kan., has been appointed by Pope Francis to be the new archbishop of Dubuque. Jackels replaces Archbishop Jerome Hanus.
The Wichita diocesan website says Jackels was named the Wichita bishop in January 2005 by Pope John Paul II. Before being named to the post, Jackels worked for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome for eight years.
Hanus will introduce Jackels at a news conference later Monday morning at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center in Dubuque. Hanus also will announce his plans for the future.


text: When we left the ICN they gave us some multi-vitamin drops with IRON. The key being the iron. We gave it to my daughter for about 2 1/2 months after lots of gas and discomfort I began reading and speaking to other BF'ing mothers and could not figure out exactly why she needed to be on it. So we stopped giving it to her. We talked to the Ped. at our last visit and she stated that we really need to give it to her at 6 months. I am wondering if other premie's are being given the same vitamin and if so when did you start using it? The ped. said that if we were giving her formula we would not need to give her the vitamin/iron.

FEMA offers to pay half of Bennington's Irene spending
BENNINGTON The town is expected to get almost $1.6 million in federal reimbursement for damage caused by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, but town officials arent happy because the amount is less than half of the almost $4 million spent to repair the Roaring Branch of the Walloomsac River in hopes of preventing future flood damage.
Vermonts congressional delegation, Sen. Patrick Leahy, Sen. Bernard Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch, announced Friday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had agreed to reimburse the town for $1,579,952.
In letters sent to Vermont Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding, Mark Landry, a federal coordinating officer for FEMA, said the agency had found that Benningtons efforts to remove woody debris from the Walloomsac would qualify for a reimbursement of about $250,700 and work to remove sediment would qualify for a reimbursement of about $1,330,800.
The latter category was based on a request the town made based on other work done in the river which a river scientist had determined was needed to prevent further risk to people and property. FEMA rejected the argument.
(Bennington) is ineligible, however, for the other channel excavation, bank armoring, floodplain shaping and channel realignment activities as these went beyond activities required to eliminate or lessen immediate threats to life, public health or safety or eliminate or lessen immediate threats of significant additional damage to improved public or private property, Landry said.
FEMA also found Bennington was ineligible to receive reimbursement for about $214,260 that had been spent to repair its levee.
Using a line of credit, the town has already done the work of making repairs to the Roaring Branch of the Walloomsac, which nearly jumped its banks during Irene. The Roaring Branch was the site where a widely seen video, showing a car which had fallen into the river rushing downstream, was recorded.
Dan Monks, Benningtons planning director and zoning director, said Friday the town would appeal the decision made by FEMA in the hopes that the agencys officials could be convinced the costs were necessary and should be reimbursed.
Monks, who has taken the lead on the towns lengthy effort to obtain federal aid, said he was hopeful Bennington would prevail for several reasons. He said he believed the support from the state and Vermonts congressional delegation would be helpful and the town had the science to support its claims that the money spent was necessary to protecting residents and their homes.
A statement sent by the congressional delegation called the amount of the reimbursement disappointing and said Leahy, Sanders and Welch would continue to advocate with the town of Bennington and the state of Vermont to assure the town receives all the support for which it is eligible.
Monks said FEMAs decision isnt a surprise. Last year, the agency determined the reimbursement should come from the National Resources Conservation Service until officials with the service were able to convince FEMA that it didnt have the statutory authority to pay the reimbursement.
Now Monks said hes hoping the Select Board will support his plan to make an appeal which must be made in 60 days. The letters from FEMA say Landrys decision is not a final agency action, so its not clear when the appeal must be filed.
Monks said he believed FEMA has subjected Bennington to unusual, extraordinary and intense scrutiny ... well beyond that normally required of a community struggling to recover from a disaster and he hoped the town would get a more normal review of its request as it made an appeal to FEMAs national office.
The rejection of much of the reimbursement was made by the Region 1 office based in Boston.
A call to FEMAs press office Friday afternoon was not returned.

Illinois NAEP Science Results Parallel National Performance
November 20, 2001
For Information:
SPRINGFIELD - Illinois students are performing at about the national average in science, according to the results of a nationwide test released today.
For the most part, the science scores earned by Illinois students on the 2000 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) were on par with the national averages.
The test results show that 31 percent of Illinois grade 4 students - as opposed to 27 percent nationwide - scored at or above "proficient" on the 2000 assessment. For grade 8, 29 percent of Illinois students reached that mark, compared to 30 percent of the national sample.
A representative sample of Illinois students took the test. Because of the structure of the sample, there are no results at the district, school or individual level.
The scores demonstrated the need to effectively address the achievement gaps that separate groups of students. Among Illinois grade 4 students, "proficient" scores or better went to 46 percent of white students, 6 percent of black students and 10 percent of Hispanic students. The trend continues in grade 8, with 44 percent of white students, 5 percent of black students and 12 percent of Hispanic student at or above the "proficient" level.
State Superintendent Glenn W. McGee and the members of the Illinois State Board of Education have made one of the state's top educational priorities to close the achievement gaps that divide the performance of minority students or impoverished students from that of their peers.
"The schools, communities, parents and students of Illinois must help close the gap that separates student achievement from student potential," said McGee. "Every student in Illinois - regardless of their background or wealth - deserves a high-quality education that meets clear state Standards."
National NAEP results indicated no significant change since 1996 in the students' average scores for grades 4 and 8 and a significant decline in grade 12.

The site includes a data tool that allows online users to analyze score data by various demographic factors, compare results across jurisdictions and view data from other NAEP assessments.

It's safe to say that if a Republican president carried out as many drone attacks as Barack Obama, Democrats and liberals would be howling. But you barely hear a peep from them.
Finally, though, some congressional scrutiny has been put on Obama's use of state-sponsored assassinations, and it's about time.
The Obama administration has carried out hundreds of drone strikes in Pakistan alone, far more than authorized under President George W. Bush. The administration is tracking and executing terrorists based on secret intelligence -- and the president's final approval.
Attacks also have been carried out in Somalia and Yemen and, at times, American citizens have been targeted. As commander in chief, Obama has a lot of latitude in the war against terrorism, but even presidential powers aren't absolute.
The strikes are supposed to be carried out only if subjects pose a "continuing and imminent threat" to the United States. But a Justice Department memo, first reported by NBC News, diminishes that requirement by suggesting a strike does not require U.S. authorities to conclude that a specific attack will take place "in the immediate future."
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators wants the Obama administration to cite all its legal opinions underlying the authority to use drones, especially to kill American citizens. This should be the first step toward a much clearer policy.
The public should be greatly concerned there is no judicial procedure in place, no due process and no oversight regarding the use of drones. In contrast, Congress has set up a secret court to review and approve surveillance warrants, including the wiretapping of suspected terrorists. Having some type of judicial review in place before the government orders a death strike makes sound legal and moral sense.
Drone technology and its use are bound to grow; indeed, drones are effective tools, allowing the administration to target terrorists, limit civilian casualties and keep our armed forces out of harm's way in the process. Such attacks have been carried out against terrorists connected to the attack at Fort Hood in Texas and to the failed "underwear bomb" plot, both in 2009.
Obama and future presidents will undoubtedly continue the program, and the federal government also is bolstering its "domestic drone" strategy, for observation purposes for our aviation system and at our borders.
As this technology continues to expand, it's imperative the government put sensible guidelines in place, including a reasonable system of checks and balances. The potential for abuse through this program is alarming and should be headed off now.

A couple of months ago, I went to see a doctor about a lump on my lower left thigh, just above the knee. An MRI indicated that the lump was likely a rhabdomyosarcoma – a cancerous tumor – although I would need a biopsy to be sure.
Based on the age and size of my tumor, and the fact that the MRI hinted at additional sarcomas on the bones of both legs, my prognosis looked fairly grim. In the worst case, I might have had less than two years left even with aggressive treatment.
It took me several weeks and referrals to three different doctors before I found one who was willing to do the biopsy. Three weeks ago, I had an open biopsy on my thigh that left me with a two-inch incision and nine surgical staples. Last week, we finally got the results from the biopsy: the mass in my thigh is a myxoid liposarcoma. A bone scan done just before the biopsy showed no bone involvement.
Now a liposarcoma is still a malignant tumor – cancer – but my prognosis is much better than it would be with a rhabdomyosarcoma. Liposarcoma is a less aggressive cancer that tends to spread locally rather than metastasize globally. On the other hand, it has a strong genetic component and tends to recur in other locations, and if it does spread to the lungs, etc. it can get nasty fast. For the moment, however, I am (probably) not dying – at least not any faster than expected.
At this point, it doesn't look like I am going to need chemotherapy. I may even be able to skip radiation therapy if surgery successfully removes all traces of the cancer. The surgery itself – scheduled for late next month – may be a little tricky, however. The surgeon will be removing most of the sartorius muscle from my thigh. Depending on how much of the inner structure of the leg is exposed, they may have to move a muscle from my calf up into my thigh. With luck, I will retain most or all of my leg function.
Obviously, a malignant tumor is bad news. I'm pretty annoyed about the entire thing, especially since it's happening during the Mists of Pandaria beta. But hey … at least I am (probably) not dying in the next two years.
I hope.

Coachella Live:
A Perfect Day Two
If the first day of Coachella was marked by the excitement and the heat, the second would be defined by a soft breeze that cooled the air and set the tone for a relaxed day. Rather than a bursting rush of people the moment the gates opened, this morning, everyone slowly sauntered in after a long night. It was almost like a new festival entirely – perfect in different ways than the day before.
It was as if the cool wind reminded the crowd that everything was going to be okay, and that no matter what stage or tent they were at, they were going to be having the best time possible.
The Coachella state of mind had reached the full crowd.
The pinnacle of this feeling came during Pharrell's set, which blew away the already high expectations. Having already brought up Nelly, Gwen Stefani, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, and Diplo for duets, it was hard to image that his finale could have surpassed what came before it.
Capping off a day filled with high fives and hugs, Pharrell closed out day two by inviting any other performer that was nearby to join him on the stage as everyone sang along to his hit Happy. Keeping with the theme of the day – he proved yet again that everything is better with friends, and even better with more friends.

January 12, 2005: Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered for the first time a population of embryonic stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a companion galaxy of our Milky Way. Hubble's exquisite sharpness plucked out an underlying population of embryonic stars embedded in the nebula NGC 346 that are still forming from gravitationally collapsing gas clouds. They have not yet ignited their hydrogen fuel to sustain nuclear fusion. The smallest of these infant stars is only half the mass of our Sun.
The Small Magellanic Cloud and its bigger brother, the Large Magellanic Cloud, are actually small irregular galaxies orbiting our own larger Milky Way. They are members of the Local Group, a collection of more than 30 galaxies to which our Milky Way belongs. Almost unknown to casual observers in the Northern Hemisphere, the Magellanic Clouds are seen in the southern sky. The Small Magellanic Cloud is about 210,000 light-years away and contains many hot, young stars, indicating that the galaxy has undergone a recent period of star formation. The Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan reported seeing the Magellanic Clouds from the South Pacific during the early 1500s.
Astronomers are not sure. There are not many places in the Small Magellanic Cloud with very recent star formation. The Hubble observations are part of a bigger project whose goal is to determine what triggered the more recent star formation. Astronomers hope that a more detailed analysis of the puzzling distribution of the infant stars will provide some hints.
One possibility is that the galaxy's next-door neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud, could, in part, be responsible for instigating the star birth. Dwarf galaxies like the Small Magellanic Cloud, however, all show regions of similarly recent star formation activity, even when there is no interacting companion. A detailed study of the galaxy will hopefully provide crucial information to understand why.

So my 13 month old still nurses a lot. He won't put himself to sleep anymore and wakes up several times a night to nurse. He loves to nurse to sleep! He nurses more at night than he does during the day. I know he should be able to go through the night without eating, but I am scared to night wean. I can't stand to let him "cry it out". When my husband goes in to sooth him, he just screams and looks for me. Any advice on how to successfully night wean?
I don't want to completely wean him since he has a milk allergy, so I can't give him cows milk. He doesn't eat solids very good either, so I worry about him getting all the nutrients he needs.
Maybe me nursing him to sleep is part of the problem, I don't know. But I don't know how else to sooth him. He won't take a bottle or binky. We are getting tired at our house; and I would love any opinions and/or suggestions. Thanks!

Job history:
From 2002 to 2005 I worked at a Non-Governmental Organization in the Netherlands. My work focused on sustainable agriculture, with emphasis on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and nutrient management in relation to agriculture. Projects included the protection of surface and groundwater and the development of a biogas installation (use of manure to produce methane).
Research: Studying the effect of a thermomechanical pulp mill effluent on the reproductive system of fish.
With over a 130 pulp and paper mills, the production of pulp and paper is a major industry in Canada. In the past the effluent of these mills has had an impact on the environment. The industry and Government of Canada have the objective to reduce the effect on the environment in a cost-effective manner. Although direct lethal effects of mills on fish are not frequently observed at modern mills, the more subtle non lethal effects are being found in studies. These subtle effects include reduced gonad size and egg production, delays in maturation, changes in secondary sexual characteristics and depress steroid hormones. The effects mentioned are all under the control of the endocrine system. A major focus point of todays research is therefore on the effect of paper and pulp mill effluent on the fish reproduction and the components in the effluent that are disrupting the endocrine system. The observed effects appear to operate through changes in the ability of fish to control their production of steroid hormones, because of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in the effluent.
The goals of my study are to i) identify the waste streams with EDCs in a TMP-mill ii) identify the causative compounds iii) to look at the effect of biotreatment on final effluent and iv) to compare the effects of a different mills on the reproduction of fish.

A Sense of Place: Local Culinary/Culture Tours
- 7:33 pm Wednesday, July 18th, 2012 by M.M. Cloutier
You've probably said—or thought—something like this before: This summer, I'm going to take advantage of the slower pace by exploring my own backyard—art galleries, historic districts, and restaurants, say, I've yet to experience in any purposeful way or perhaps never knew about in the first place (shame!).
If food/restaurants are a category that figure high on your list: Consider trying Taste History Culinary Tours—they touch down each month in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth—conducted by the Boynton Beach-based Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History.
This past Saturday, the four-hour guided downtown Lake Worth tour—a combination of bus-riding and strolling—included stops/tastings [More]

Gov. Walker launches "Talk with Walker" tour
Governor Scott Walker says he will travel across Wisconsin over the next few weeks to talk to people about their priorities and their ideas for "building a better Wisconsin."
Walker released a video Monday via his YouTube channel introducing his statewide, "Talk with Walker" tour. In the video, Walker outlines his top five priorities for the state: job creation; develop our workforce; investing in infrastructure; transforming education; and reforming government.
"I'm looking forward to talking with people around Wisconsin about what is important to them," Governor Walker said in a statement. "We are looking for bold ideas and real solutions to the problems facing our state."
Governor Walker's administration says earlier this month, Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch told Walker and the legislature that revenue estimates are up $1.5 billion for the FY13-15 budget, and the state will deposit money into the rainy day fund in back-to-back years for the first time in state history.

"I am thinking about ways to keep my milk frozen when I am away from my daughter on business trips. I will be taking my first in a few weeks and I plan to pump but I'm not sure how to store the milk in the hotel and how to get it home. Have other moms taken it on a plane? How about sending it through a courier service? What was your experience with these? Any other ideas?"

If you're suffering from candida and normal Candida cleanse kit aren't clearing it up, something in your diet may be to blame. Your doctor may recommend that you try some kind of elimination or cleanse diet in order to figure out what the issue is. But what kind of candida cleanse side effects should you expect?
While it's likely that your doctor won't want you to try any new foods, there's a very good chance that they can make some suggestions that will make it easier for your body to adjust to your diet. If you handle your cleanse properly, you'll feel healthier than ever.
Many people don't drink enough water when they're doing a cleanse. This causes the cleanse to be less effective, and causes them to feel dehydrated. It's important to make sure you drink lots and lots of water any time you're trying to do complete a cleanse.
When you drink water, your body will quickly be able to flush out any toxins that are in your body. You'll be well hydrated, and will be far less likely to experience any kind of candida cleanse side effects. If you don't normally carry around a bottle of water, get in the habit before your cleanse begins.
If your cleanse diet is effective, you may also find that you feel far sicker than it does before. This is because toxins can be released into your body when yeast cells rapidly die off. This is why you should always go through your diet under the supervision of a medical professional.
If your symptoms are so severe you have trouble carrying out your daily activities, you may want to make some adjustments to your cleanse diet. Talk to your doctor and see if they think you should stick with the diet or make changes.
In most cases, these symptoms will stop within two weeks. If they last for longer, you may have cause for concern. Make a note of any symptoms you experience and when they begin. Stay in regular contact with your doctor and make sure you communicate all of these things.
You may want to take some kind of supplement while you go through your candida cleanse diet. The right supplement will aid your body as it works to expel various toxins. Supplements you may want to try include molybdenum and milk thistle. These supplements have been used to great effect by a number of people.
Candida cleanse side effects can be quite severe, and you'll need to make sure you're prepared for that. Many people who start a cleanse diet simply give up on it once the effects kick in. However, if you work with your doctor, you'll be able to rid you body of these toxins once and for all.
Free Yourself with Ibogaine Treatment
When one becomes dependent on drugs, it causes a lot of strain on the body, compromising health and overall wellness. Withdrawing from an addictive substance is a big challenge. Thankfully, with persistence, it can be done. For those who are suffering from the effects of substance addition, there are ways to help you get your life back. For treating drug dependence, homeopathic treatments are more favorable as they are safer to use, generally inexpensive, and promote harmony all throughout the body. Using natural drug addiction treatment such as ibogaine is highly recommended.
Ibogaine treatment has helped quite a number of people address the after effects of drug abuse and be able to quit using dangerous substances for good. This is a plant derived treatment that has been used to help a person suffering from addiction to drugs like cocaine and heroin. There were reports that it is also effective in helping those who'd like to recover from alcoholism. Ibogaine is often used as a medicine and is a ritual component in Africa. It is legal in a number of countries and is turned to by those who are determined to give up the drugs and get back to normal.
Ibogaine is a psychedelic substance and triggers a variety of emotional responses. It also brings one in a sort of dreamlike state. They say that taking Ibogaine not only offers relief from addiction. It also allows one to go on a spiritual journey and deal with repressed issues from the past. The substance also helps alleviate cravings, making it an avenue to explore for those who want to lose weight and avoid incidences of binge eating.
For those who are wondering how much Ibogaine Thailand treatment cost, it depends on the place where you'll be getting the treatment. In addition, there are only a number of countries that are allowed to distribute this miracle drug treatment. The conventional detoxification approach for drug dependents take a lot of time. With Ibogaine, the response is quicker and the success rate is actually very good.
While this treatment is regarded as safe, it would be wise to consult your doctor first, especially if you have health concerns such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Also, it would be great if you are able to talk to people who have used Ibogaine in the past and how they are doing after the treatment has passed.

The effect of Ibogaine treatment can be seen in a matter of 45 minutes after intake and the vivid visualizations that are caused by the hallucinating effects of the substance happens in a period of 6 hours. This period is the most important part of the therapy as this gives the patience a chance to reflect on his situation and be able to address the issues that caused the addiction. The therapist cues the patient during this time to help draw him out.
Boost Your Wellbeing: Detox in Koh Samui
There are many ways on how one can spend a holiday. In Koh Samui, you can be adventurous and try a dozen of water sports. You can also spend your vacation at the beach. If you love to explore the island, you can participate in various discovery tours. For health buffs who want to be able to free themselves from stress even for a short period of time, a recommended activity is detox in Koh Samui.
Koh Samui is undoubtedly among the most relaxing destinations in Thailand. With its spectacular water scene, great dose of greenery, and tropical weather, it is very conducive for relaxation. On the island, you can recharge your batteries by booking a stay in a detox Thailand resort. For those who are busy with parenting and work 24/7 and would like to have a renewed feeling of wellness, going on a detox in Samui is a must try.
Best detox retreats Thailand boost one's wellbeing through a holistic approach to healing. Sometimes, all it takes is a change of scenery, some peace and quiet, and a cleansing ritual to be able to get the body functioning at its optimum. Normally, the human body can heal itself but after being exposed to pollution, stress, and not-so-satisfactory diet, the body's natural mechanism gets messed up. Because of this, one feels tired, has mood swings, and is often susceptible to colds and virus attacks. Inside a detox spa, you will have a chance to meditate, be pampered, and allow your body to heal faster with a specially designed nutrient packed diet.
If you want to go on a detox in Koh Samui, you need to be mentally prepared for the process. You have to be willing to let go of your anxiety. Shut off work for a while and allow the pleasant and quiet environment of the spa to soothe your worries away. At a detox resort, you will be served a different type of meal far from what you are used to. If you are a vegan, you can easily adjust. However, if you your diet has always been a full orchestra of fried food and salty snacks, it will take a lot of strong will power to get through the process. A person will most likely be successful if he stays focused and constantly get reminded of the benefits of going through a detoxification process. While challenging at first, the benefits will make your realize that the effort you put into it is more than worth it.
Thailand detox retreat is probably among the best things you'll ever sign up for while on the island. If you care for your body and would want to start a new healthier lifestyle, a detox treatment is the first step towards it. Take advantage of the many detox holidays Thailand has to offer. Depending on your budget and your location, you will find one that you will be satisfied with. Good luck in cleansing and stay healthy.

State Certification of Documents to be Sent to a Foreign Country
The Certification Request Form must be included with documents submitted to the Montana Secretary of State's Office for certification.
The Montana Secretary of State's office can provide state certification for documents that are to be sent to, or used in, a foreign country. Both types of certification – apostille and authentication – verify that the Notary Public, Clerk of Court, Clerk & Recorder, or Vital Records Administrator is authorized to provide the notarization or certification and that he/she has done so in accordance with the Montana Code Annotated. Additional certification of a notary public by an official at the local or county level is not provided in Montana.
Based on the experience of the Secretary of State's office, there are some common errors that cause the documents to be returned. Be aware of the following:
- The document must be properly notarized according to Montana statutes. Click here for printable examples of correct notarial blocks.
- If you are asked to provide a certified copy of a document, there are two things you must know:
- Public documents, such as birth, death, and marriage certificates, can only be certified by someone who works in the office where the original or official copy is kept. You must obtain a certified copy of those documents from the appropriate county Clerk & Recorder's Office, Clerk of District Court, or Montana Department of Vital Records. State certification cannot be provided on certified documents more than five years old.
- Private documents, including passports, driver's licenses, and diplomas, may be certified by a Montana notary; you must provide the original document for the notary to photocopy. A notary cannot certify a photocopy of a document unless the original document is provided to, and copied by, the notary personally. Click here to download a notarial block to affix on a copy of a document to be certified by a notary public.
The Notary and Certifications Section of the Montana Secretary of State's Office will pre-check documents requiring certification. To avoid delays in processing your request, you may email your documents to email@example.com for review and approval before mailing the original documents for processing.
Normal processing time is 3 -5 days, but we make every effort to prioritize these requests.
It is not necessary to bring the documents in person. If you do wish to come in, we do require that you make an appointment ahead of time. Please call (406) 444-1877 to set a time.
SPECIAL NOTE: Certifying and Notarizing Official School Records for Foreign Use
School Transcripts
State certified copies of school transcripts or grade reports are frequently requested for foreign exchange students. These require an additional step before the apostille or authentication can be issued. These documents must be notarized before you can send them to the Secretary of State's Office.
STEP 1. An authorized school official (Principal, Registrar, etc.) must certify the document:
Sample wording for school official certifying an ORIGINAL school document (Have the Principal or Registrar write this on the document):
On ___ (date)__, I the undersigned, do hereby certify that this is a true and original _ (specify the type of document)__ issued by __ (name of school)___.
[Signature of school official]
[Printed name and Official Title]
STEP 2. A notary public must then notarize the school official's signature using a correct notarial block.
Here's an example of how a properly signed and notarized original transcript should look:
Diplomas may be copied by any notary who will then complete or attach a copy certification block on the back side of the copy. The notary must make the copy.

Tot pistol-whipped, reward is offered
MINGO JUNCTION – Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those involved in a shooting and pistol-whipping Thursday afternoon.
Abdalla reported one suspect was apprehended early this morning. No name is being released at this time.
Dressed as utility workers, the men forced their way into a home at 122 Union Ave. in Mingo Junction around 2:30 p.m. Thursday, shooting a man in the knee and pistol-whipping a 2-year-old child. The intruders also hit a woman and a 13-year-old child, according to Abdalla and Mingo Junction Police Chief Steve Maguschak.
"Let that punk come in here and try to pistol-whip me," a frustrated Abdalla said late Thursday as law enforcement worked to find the suspects.
"We are putting everything we've got into this," he added.
Abdalla said the three males got out of the getaway vehicle near Steubenville High School and ran toward the railroad tracks. He said the intruders were dressed like utility workers, wearing safety vests and hardhats.
Maguschak said the residents inside were watching TV when they answered a knock at the door. That is when the three men forced their way into the home, claiming the man inside owed them money.
Those injured were taken to Trinity Medical Center West on Steubenville for treatment, while the 2-year-old was flown via medical helicopter to a Pittsburgh hospital.
A female was reported to be driving the getaway vehicle. Steubenville police say they pulled the vehicle over in the 100 block of South Fourth Street about 30 minutes later and the female driver was taken into custody.
Steubenville officers searched the North End of the city for the three suspects. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation was called to come to the Mingo Junction home to process the scene for evidence.
