Hooray for red, white & blue
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Independence Day will be celebrated throughout the area with community parades, picnics and fireworks planned for either Thursday or Saturday.
Iron Mountain-Kingsford's Independence Day parade will begin at 9:15 a.m. on Thursday. The parade will follow the same route as past years.
The parade starts at Balsam Street, proceeding north to Woodward Avenue, then east to Carpenter Avenue, north to H Street, and east on H Street to Midtown Mall.
The theme for this year's parade is Celebrate! Let the Sound of Freedom Ring Strong and True Forever New.
Americans for Constitutional Enforcement (ACE), the parade organizers, will honor all veterans this year with a fly-over of three World War II vintage airplanes. There will be three passes over the line-up.
This year's grand marshal is Rita Nocerini, a Vietnam-era veteran who will turn 73 in October.
Nocerini grew up in Iron River and now lives in Iron Mountain.
Sara Schaut, granddaughter of Fran Schaut of Aurora, Wis. and Dorothy Hendrickson of Iron Mountain, will be this year's youngest-born on the Fourth of July.
Schaut, the daughter of Dan and Sharon Schaut, is from Salt Lake City, Utah, and in town visiting her grandparents.
ACE President Diana Miller said parade organizers are still seeking the oldest-born on the Fourth of July, convertibles and drivers, salutes for a special citizen and a special veteran, along with young people to help out the ACE group.
Prize donations are also being accepted.
Call Miller at 774-7810 or 396-7810 or Diane at 774-3310.
If the weather is stormy and the planes are unable to fly, money that was raised for the fly-over will remain in the bank to cover the cost to bring the planes to the area next year, Miller said.
The Sons of the American Legion Squadron 50 is again organizing the annual community fireworks to be held on Thursday from Millie Hill.
"Last year's event was a great success and was appreciated by the community," said Fireworks Committee Chairman Michael Laydon. "This year's show has been redesigned to include a larger volume and variety of shells, which will make it even more spectacular than last year's. We are able to present such a show only with the support from the local community, including businesses and private citizens. Accordingly, we hope that you find it appropriate to make a donation in support of this year's Fourth of July fireworks event. We would truly appreciate whatever amount you can give," he said.
Again this year, the Iron Mountain Fire Department will be part of the fund-raising efforts as they will be walking the Independence Day parade route with a "fill the boot campaign."
Also, checks can be made payable to "SAL 2013 Fireworks Fund" and mailed to: SAL 2013 Fireworks Fund, P.O. Box 1046, Iron Mountain MI 49801.
To arrange for a donation pickup, call 774-5357.
"Thank you for your past and current support. Enjoy the show and please, be safe," Laydon said.
Rain date for the fireworks is Friday, July 5.
The city of Norway will celebrate the Fourth of July on Thursday evening with a parade, concert and fireworks.
The celebration kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with a Kiddie Parade on Main Street followed by the main parade, City Band performance at the Norway Band Shell and fireworks at dusk.
Line-up for the Kiddie Parade will be on 10th Avenue. All other parade participants are asked to line up at 11th and Railroad avenues.

Any questions concerning the parade shall be directed to Wally at 563-5746.
There will be no parking on Main Street during the parade.
The Norway Volunteer Fire Department will light off fireworks at dusk from Norway Hill.
The West Iron County Fourth of July program will begin at 8:30 a.m. Thursday on the west side of the West Iron High School.
The West Side Veterans Council is dedicating the parade to the Afghanistan veterans and families of the local Michigan Army National Guard 1433rd Engineering Unit.
Members of the auxiliary units of the Legion Posts No. 17 (Iron River) and No. 21 (Old Stambaugh), as well as VFW Post No. 3134 will be on hand to help with registration. Parade units will form on the south side parking area of the WIC High School.
The parade committee requests all units use the street between the school and Kermit's Bar as the main entrance to the parking lot.
The parade will leave the WIC High School at 10 a.m. with mass colors of the veterans organizations, proceed through Old Stambaugh, down Stambaugh Hill to U.S. 2, left to Genesee Street through Iron River to Fifth Street where the parade will disband.
Anticipated units will include the Michigan National Guard, U.S. Veterans, Boys and Girls Scouts Units, antique vehicles, decorated floats, bicycles, area fire departments and local organizations and businesses.
Following the parade, veterans riding on the World War II, Korean, and Vietnam floats will be dropped off and await pickup at the Iron County Armory.
Due to ever-increasing costs for fireworks and insurance, WIC students will canvass the crowd to solicit donations to cover the cost of the parade and fireworks.
The parade announcer will be announced the day of the parade.
Prizes will be awarded for the parade in all categories – the same as last year with adult and youth organizations, commercial, individual organization or groups, antique vehicles and tractors, individual decorated bikes, individual horse and saddle clubs.
Everyone is urged to enter their unit in the Fourth of July parade to show their patriotism.
Following the parade, there will be games and free ice cream for all children at the WIC Fire Department station on Ninth Street in Iron River, sponsored by the WIC Volunteer Firemen.
Fireworks will begin at 10 p.m. on the night of July 4 under the supervision of WIC Fire Chief Alfred Perlongo and his volunteer firemen.
If there is inclement weather, fireworks will be at 10 p.m. on Friday, July 5.
This year, the Fourth of July parade will be dedicated to the Afghanistan Veterans and their families of the local Michigan Guard 1443rd Engineering Unit.
Everyone in the community is encouraged to come and support local national guardsmen and their families for their sacrifices.
To make a donation to help offset the ever-increasing cost of fireworks, send a check to West Side Veterans Council, P.O. Box 433, Iron River, MI 49935 or leave a donation with any of the veterans organizations.

2008 Olympian
Margaux Isaksen
(Fayetteville, Ark.) won the 2011 U.S. Modern Pentathlon National Championships on Saturday at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
Isaksen began the day winning 24 of her 30 fencing bouts and followed that up with the second best time in the swim (2:19.78). In the third event of the day, the ride, Isaksen fell off her horse after the eighth jump but managed to get back on and finish all 10 jumps clean and without a time penalty. Despite losing 60 points for the fall, she entered the final event of the day, the combined run/shoot, with a 56-second advantage over second-place
Rendy Opdycke
(Mercer Island, Wash.).
Isaksen would cruise to the victory with a combined time of 12:41 for a total of 5304 points.
Suzanne Stettinius
(Parkton, Md.) moved up from third place to finish second with 4804 points, and
Samantha Achterberg
(Littleton, Colo.) moved from fifth place to third overall with a total of 4696. Opdycke would finish fourth with 4604 points.
Isaksen would also capture the junior division title, with Achterberg finishing second and
Anna Olesinski
(Roswell, N.M.), who had the best time in the combined event (12:10.00) placing third.
"My shooting has been going up and down and I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself," said Isaksen. "But it was nice to be able to compete here today in front of family and friends."
For the first time, all five disciplines of the modern pentathlon were held on the grounds of the Olympic Training Center. A riding arena was constructed on the site of a demolished building and the combined event was held on the Olympic pathway.
"Having other resident athletes from the Training Center, as well as family, be able to come watch was special," said Achterberg, a resident athlete herself from nearby Littleton, Colo. "The other athletes are always asking how the sport works and today they were able to see it for themselves."
The National Championships continue on Sunday with the men's competition.

Holy Cow! Spring is in the air and we are only days away from opening day in Major League Baseball. Other than at a Paul concert I can't think of anywhere else I would rather be than in the stands with a cold one on a hot summer day.
I thought it would be fun to keep abreast of the season here as well as finding out others predictions and favorite teams etc...
I am a true blue Cubs fan and proud of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While in my heart I always want a first place finish we are in serious need of heathly pitchers to accomplish that. I think the addition of Juan Pierre as a lead off batter will prove to be a good one so I am the picture of optimism as the season begins.
Best game I've ever been to, either Cubs vs Cards at Wrigley during the McGuire, Sosa homerun contest with each of the producing and the Cubs winning or Cubs vs Mets in the early 80's when we shut down Doc Gooden 9-0 when he was in his prime.
Most hated team - Cardinals and Yankees (not St Louis or New York residents so please don't take offense)
Can't wait to hear some fun fan stories.

If it's significantly cheaper for me to send it I'd be glad to handle this for you.
That's a very kind offer Bob, thank you... I'll see what I can do here first, I've been looking for an excuse to go to Honolulu... this may be it
Steelplayer:What about using what you already own but adding a foil collar along the rim of the pan, like folks do for souffles? Do you know what I mean? This is a way to extend the height of your pan without breaking the bank.Ever the cheapskate,Garvey
Bob dang that looks so tasty! how'd you do your sauce for this one? What cheese did you use....Sorry if I missed this. I didn't see it in prior posts! Thanks buddy!
That won't cook the rim correctly and the weight of everything in there rising/bubbling away will probably destabilize the foil an create a mess.Steel; my pan is a 1 an a 1/2 incher....like yours, correct?
Yes mine is a 1 and a 1/2 incher... maybe I need to cut back on the tf as Nate's using a 2 inch
Well thanks so much Pizza Pal Terry! Sauce was easy peazzy; tiny bit o salt with crushed oregano. Toms were strained Cento's from a case I got on Amazon(cheap!) as per TXCraig recommendation! Cheese: slices of Boar's Head Mozz an Provo.Cook one up Mojo!!
thanks a ton Bob! I gotta make one! looks so tasty!
Could be... now I am going to just have to make another one, and another one, etc.
That won't cook the rim correctly and the weight of everything in there rising/bubbling away will probably destabilize the foil an create a mess.
It's to give extra headspace. Have you ever cooked a souffle this way? Did it destabilize the foil and create a mess? Do tell. I'd love to hear your firsthand experiences.
Nate,What type of pan you do your DD in? Dark hard anodized aluminum? PSTK
Dark hard anodized (Chicago Metallic brand)
Do you crisp/fry the bottom of your DD (like PH pan pizza) ?
I made one night before last and ran out of flour also...subbed in White Lilly AP. I had to go back and recheck your formula thinking I had messed up. Weird how different the doughs can feel from one brand AP to the next.

Bed tax hearings Thursday
Franklin County legislators are asking people in the south end of the county who have questions or concerns about a proposed bed tax to come to public hearings Thursday in Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake.
A committee of lodging owners from around the county, along with a few legislators and other county representatives, put together a proposal for a 5 percent occupancy fee on stays in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and other vacation rentals.
Only stays of less than 30 days would be subject to the tax.
The money raised from the tax would be used to market the area to potential tourists. The proposed law sets up a Tourism Advisory Committee, made up of representatives from various interested parties, that would plan how the money is spent, though its spending plan would need to be approved by the county Board of Legislators.
The Bed Tax Committee presented its proposal, modeled on other bed taxes from around the state, to county legislators in December, and legislators were mostly happy with the proposal. They hope to approve it later this month and send it before February to Albany for approval.
Franklin and Hamilton counties are the only two of the 62 counties in the state to not have a bed tax. Essex County recently considered increasing its 3 percent bed tax to 5 percent.
Franklin County legislators will hold another hearing on the bed tax on Thursday, Jan. 17, at 5:30 p.m. in Malone at the county courthouse.
The county normally holds hearings only in the north end of the county, or in Malone and Saranac Lake for the annual budget hearing. But legislators decided that since the aim is to gather input from the people who would be most affected by the tax, there should be one in Tupper Lake as well, since that town is trying to shift its economic focus toward tourism.

ArtScapades: Italian, French, and Spanish Masters
Category: Speakers & Lecture Series
Location: Adrian Lamb Room
ArtScapades, a five-part art lecture program made possible through a sponsorship from the Friends of the New Canaan Library, continues on Monday, March 11, with Part 4: "Italian, French, and Spanish Masters." The lecture will take place at 7 p.m. in the Adrian Lamb Room.
"Italian, French, and Spanish Masters" will explore Baroque art and the ways in which the artists Caravaggio, de La Tour, Lorrain, Poussin, Velazquez, and El Greco injected theatrical realism into their works.
Robin Hoffman and Jodi Stiffelman of ArtScapades will moderate the series. They began teaching art appreciation in 1998 in the New Canaan public school system. In 2009, they began sharing their knowledge with adults who wanted to learn the basics of art to make museum trips more enjoyable. The New Canaan Library is welcoming them back for a fourth time.

Species 25 to 70 microns long, oval to reniform in shape often with an anterior left-hand rostrum. The cell has a flat ventral surface and an arched dorsal surface. The cytostome is anterio-ventrally situated and is supported by a protrusible basket of nemadesmata. The dorsal surface is unciliated, except subapically near the left margin there is a single kinety consisting of 5-20 ciliated kinetosomes. Three kineties are associated with the oral region: two circumoral kineties and one preoral kinety above the cytostome; the preoral kinety extends obliquely to the left of the ciliate. There are several longitudinal somatic kineties on the ventral surface; those on the right curve around the anterior end while those on the left extend only to the preoral kinety. The central postoral region lacks cilia. The macronucleus is spheroid to ellipsoidal and located near the posterior. Two contractile vacuoles are usually located on the upper right and lower left of the cell. This ciliate glides quickly over surfaces. Habitat and di

Topic: NetBeans 6.8 and Rails plugin
I use NetBeans to do my rails development on my linux box. I wanted to make some changes to an existing Rails plugin and I was wondering if anyone knows how to setup a project in NetBeans from the plugin? Everytime I try to use the "New Rails Project from existing code" option, it tells me the plugin is not a Rails application. I guess technically that is correct but I can't believe there is no logical way to group plugins inside NetBeans like all my other projects.
If there isn't then I guess I will live, but I was hoping someone more knoweldgeable than I might be able to help.

The chefs must resort to some clever measures. Lisa, the owner of a Mexican food company says, "I would never serve anything Mexican without a tortilla." Everyone ends up heading to the seafood section. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Jay-Kean_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Nothing Can Stop Him Jay serves up tilapia tacos with pickled watermelon and has butter-fried challah in place of tortillas. Unfortunately, halfway through the challenge he cut his finger and had to seek immediate medical attention. Even though he needed stitches, he put on a glove and kept going. The judges loved the challah idea, but the plating was a mess, as Richard pointed out. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Justine-Cowan_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Taking a Family Meal Angle Justine, a line cook, makes fish taco bowls based on a dish she serves her family. She uses tortilla chips and chipotle beans to add Mexican flair, but the judges find her attempt lacking: "This is something that I would cook for my kids. But it doesn't feel like it's a taco," says Richard. Ultimately Justine checks out. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Guy-Fieri-Judges_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Seeing Lots of Potential In Game 2, Guy tasks the chefs with making any kind of sandwich, but they must use ingredients from the frozen section. With a culinary advantage, Jay gets to pick one item from anywhere and chooses Sriracha, which the judges question. But Richard sees something in him. "Is Jay not the poster boy for what young cooks are about?" he asks the others. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_David-Blonsky_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Going with Unnecessary Extras In Game 1, the judges praised David for including a cocktail with his dish. So for Game 2 he decides to plate up a dessert alongside his duck and blueberry waffle sandwich. Richard says, "Your cleverness got the best of you." And even though David cut the waffles into rounds, Beau says he thought they were "a little safe." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Lisa-Vigil-02_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Unfulfilled Concept Lisa had the same idea to use waffles as her sandwich bread, but her decision to make it a chicken and waffle sandwich falls flat. The chicken was frozen, which meant there was a risk it wouldn't be completely cooked through – and Beau happens to get that piece. Melissa likes the concept but feels "visually it looks exactly like a waffle." Lisa ends up checking out. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Guy-Fieri-David-Blonsky-Jay-Kean-02_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Experience vs. Youth David and Jay go into Game 3, which will have them cooking their best seafood dish, but there's a catch: They can use only five or fewer items. "If I've ever seen a battle royale, it's now," says Guy. It's going to be a showdown, Melissa points out: "We've got sort of the classically trained chef against the tornado wildfire in the kitchen." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Guy-Fieri-David-Blonsky-Jay-Kean_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Going for Gold David decides to make an udon noodle bowl with mussels and beer broth. Jay decides to do a scallop crudo, but then makes the brave move to do a duo and adds seared scallops to his concept. "I'm using strong ingredients," he says.

Jay chooses saffron and pancetta, even though he thinks pancetta might not work with scallops. David chooses ponzu sauce and garlic to add to his noodles. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Jay-Kean-02_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Crazy Creativity Jay dots the plate with his saffron oil and tops the scallops with fried pancetta. He's made a white wine vinaigrette for the raw crudo, but finishes it with more lemon juice. Beau finds it "extremely sophisticated" but still thinks it could have used more acid. Richard surprises Jay by saying, "I hate scallop crudo" but then loves his dish. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Guy-Fieri-Jay-Kean_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Making the Cut Jay makes it to the Super Shopping Spree. Guy tells him and David, "Both of you played the creativity to the A-level." The judges decided David's dish would have worked better if he would have served the mussels and noodles together, which is why he had to check out. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/secured/fullset/2014/1/16/0/GK111_Guy-Fieri-Judges-Jay-Kean_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Paying It Forward Going into the shopping spree Jay said, "I'm pretty confident that I cannot find most of this stuff in two minutes."

Walter Hilton
Walter Hilton c. 1343-1396
English treatise writer and translator.
Hilton is best known as the author of Scala Perfectionis [The Scale of Perfection] (c. 1380-96), a classic of English mystical writing from the fourteenth century. In this two-book treatise, Hilton maps out the steps an individual must take to achieve a spiritual life. Beginning with the initiate stage, he details the requirements of spirituality through the demanding and painful levels of growth until, after death, the soul may understand the nature of the angels and achieve union with God. Although the first book of The Scale is addressed to an individual anchoress, or religious recluse, Hilton apparently intended the work for a wider audience. A methodical writer, he imparted gentle but clear advice that was always tempered by an understanding of the difficulties his readers faced. Apart from Hilton's religious message, his handling of Middle English prose in The Scale is considered exemplary.
Biographical Information
Little is known of Hilton's early life. He was proficient in canon law and biographers suggest that he may have attended the University of Cambridge. He spent an unknown period of time, perhaps a number of years, in the 1380s as a solitary, or religious recluse. After abandoning that life, possibly in the mid- to late-1380s, Hilton became a canon, joining the Augustinian Priory in Thurgarton, near Southwell, in Nottinghamshire. Critics have also inferred that Hilton must have been involved in some of the religious controversies occurring in England in the 1380s and 1390s since some of his treatises argue against such heretical groups as the Lollards and defend orthodox religious doctrine. He died at the Priory in 1396.
Major Works
Hilton wrote and translated numerous religious works, commentaries, and epistles—most in Middle English and some in Latin. He himself did not give titles to his works; the titles by which they are known today were assigned by later editors. Each of the two books of The Scale is about 40,000 words long. The first book, which consists of ninety-two chapters, was probably written between 1380 and 1382 and circulated on its own before the second book was written sometime between 1385 and 1396. In the first book Hilton explains the difference between an active and a contemplative life, followed by considerable detail about the latter. After treating such topics as "How you are to know when the showings to the bodily senses, and the feeling of them, are good or evil" and "How for lack of humility heretics and hypocrites exalt themselves in their own hearts above all others," Hilton discusses types of prayers and various remedies to fight temptations presented by "the devil of hell." Next Hilton explains how to seek Jesus, the nature of sin, and how to deal with one's pride, wrath, and envy. The forty-two chapters of the second book of The Scale are more theologically oriented than those of the first and are considered a more mature work. Hilton describes the long and difficult journey the pilgrim must make on the way to heaven and the "virtues and graces a soul receives through the opening of the inner eye into the grace-given beholding of Jesus, and how this cannot be acquired through human labor alone, but through special grace, and labor as well." On the Mixed Life (c. 1378), one of Hilton's earlier works, is a letter addressed to a wealthy layman. In it Hilton urges his subject to combine the active and contemplative lives, trying not to neglect one for the other. The Prycking of Love (c. 1385-95), also known as The Goad of Love, is a translation and abridgement of the Stimulus Amoris, a portion of which was originally written by James of Milan. It is a devotional work which examines such topics as "How a man in the Passion of Christ may be stirred to the seven deeds of mercy" and "How a man shall stir himself to love God and to kindle his heart in His love."
Critical Reception
The Scale of Perfection was the most popular of all English devotional works of the fourteenth century. It circulated widely in manuscript form, was translated into Latin, and first printed in 1494. Scholars have frequently written about Hilton in the twentieth century, with a major resurgence of interest in his work since the 1970s. Critics praise Hilton's keen psychological insight and his writing skills, many declaring The Scale a masterpiece of its kind. William Ralph Inge deems it "among the best specimens of devotional literature." He outlines Hilton's advice on overcoming hindrances and temptations, one of the greatest of which is seeking to grasp Divine truth before one is ready. In his essay on Hilton, T. W. Coleman praises his "facility in the use of the vernacular." He adds: "Such a placid and sober style does not lend itself to the epigrammatic; but at times, by the turn of a phrase, the choice of a fitting word, and the use of an apt metaphor, he does achieve some striking results." David Knowles points out that The Scale, unlike some other religious treatises of the time, is a methodical work that follows a deliberate plan. Knowles further credits Hilton with abandoning "arbitrary divisions of the soul" and exchanging allegorical interpretations of Scripture for "homely and practical analysis." Scholars often write of Hilton in the context of medieval mysticism. In his comparative study of The Cloud of Unknowing and The Scale of Perfection, Alastair Minnis contends that Hilton is much more concerned with the average man, the man who is not spiritually advanced, than the Cloud author. Barry Windeatt also offers an overview of medieval writing on mysticism and notes numerous cross influences. Although The Scale receives by far the majority of the attention directed to Hilton's works, Walter H. Beale emphasizes the importance of On the Mixed Life and uses it to examine certain historical conceptions of Christianity. David G. Kennedy explores Hilton's early works and discusses the change from theocentric to Christocentric—a focus on God changing to a focus on Jesus—and the likely influences that precipitated this change, most notably the writings of St. Paul. This topic also interests J. P. H. Clark, who examines the second book of The Scale, noting that it is far more Christocentric than the first book, and discusses its concern with perfect and imperfect humility. While many researchers in previous decades were hindered by incomplete or paraphrased editions of Hilton's works on which to base their discussions, students now have several highly regarded new translations available to them.

The U.S. Women's Goalball Team consisting of Jen Armbruster (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Lisa Banta (Boonton, NJ), Asya Miller (Lapeer, Mich.), Robin Theryoung (Colorado Springs, Colo.) Jessica Lorenz (Berkley, Calif.) and Jackie Barnes (Wadsworth, Ill.) dominated today's match against Sweden (7-4).
"The U.S Team gave 120%, said U.S. Head Coach, Ken Armbruster (Colorado Springs, Colo.). Today, we played like a team determined to win."
"There are no sleeping dragons in this tournament, said U.S. Assistant Coach, Sharon Gunderman, "all the teams are playing at the highest level; every win is earned and not by chance."

United States Men's Goalball Team to Play for Bronze
The U.S. Men's Goalball hopes to repeat their bronze medal victory in Athens tomorrow. After giving their all in a very tough game with China this evening, the men lost their chance to play for gold to the host nation (0-4).
U.S. Men's Goalball Team of Steve Denuyl, (Kalamazoo, Mich.) Chris Dodds (Logan, Utah), Tyler Merren (Kalamazoo, Mich), Donte' Mickens,(Tallahassee, Fla.) Eddie Munro (St Augustine, Fla.) and Daryl Walker (Jacksonville, Fla.) will advance to play in tomorrow's against Sweden at 18:00 Sunday.

One Year Out to 2014 Marathon World Championships
(L-R: Kaitlyn McElroy and Maggie Hogan portage while racing K-2 at 2013 World Championships in Copenhagen)
Kayaker Maggie Hogan (Oklahoma City, Okla.) won the Silver medal at the 2013 Oklahoma City Canoe Marathon Invitational last Wednesday, Oct. 2, on the Oklahoma River. Hogan, a U.S. National Sprint Team Member, will hope to reach the podium in less than a year.
The invitational served as the official test event for the 2014 ICF Marathon World Championships to be held in the Oklahoma City Boathouse District on Sept. 26-28, 2014. Race distances range from 17.2 to 30.1 kilometers and include several portages.
"The team at the Oklahoma City Boathouse Foundation put together an outstanding test event in preparation for next year's Canoe Marathon World Championships," said Joe Jacobi, USA Canoe/Kayak CEO. "With great feedback and critique from the International Canoe Federation Canoe Marathon Technical Committee, we are looking forward to a World Championships that presents the best of Oklahoma City and the best of paddlesports in the United States."
Paddlers from the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, and Sweden competed in the test event. In women's kayak, Hogan finished the 26.5-kilometer course in 2:15.28.890, which was just over 1 minute behind Gold medalist Lizzie Broughton of Great Britain. Fay Lamph of Great Britain took Bronze.
In men's kayak, Tim Pendle of Great Britain won the 30-kilometer race with a time of 2:22:44.612, which was +3.838 seconds ahead of Silver medalist Neil Fleming of Ireland. Canada's Ian McKenzie took third.
The event kicked off the annual Oklahoma Regatta Festival, which will precede next year's World Championships. The five-day festival includes competitions and exhibitions in rowing, canoe/kayak, and dragon boat racing.
Copenhagen, Denmark hosted the 2013 Marathon World Championships on Sept. 18-22. Hogan and Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) combined to place 12th in the women's doubles kayak. U.S. Sprint National Team Member Ian Ross (Washington, D.C.) finished 13th in the men's Under-23 canoe race.
Other results:
Amniel 'Pepe' Naranjo (South Florida Canoe Kayak Club) – 12th in men's C-1
Ross and Naranjo – 12th in men's C-2
Alex McLain (Lanier Canoe Kayak CLub) – 23rd in women's K-1
Borys Markin (Rockaway Olympic, NY) – 27th in men's K-1
Logan Mynar (Texas Canoe & Kayak Racing Association) – 167th in men's U-23 K-1

When temperatures and snow start falling, pet owners will want to keep in mind the cold weather can be dangerous for animals. KAIT-TV, a news channel in Jonesboro, Arkansas, recently highlighted a few tips to help people keep their pets safe this winter. Cats and dogs who spend a lot of time outside should be provided shelter against the elements so they have a place to retreat and stay warm.
While cats may balk at the idea of wearing sweaters, dogs are generally more receptive to adding layers to stay warm. Animals are just as prone to catching colds and getting frostbite as people, and the news source recommends that they should be dried right away if they have been outside in the rain or snow.
Dampness and freezing temperatures can rapidly lead to frostbite, especially around the ears, paws and tails, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. It is important to pay attention for signs of frostbite, such as discoloration and coldness. If these signs are noticed, the sick cat or dog should be taken to a veterinarian right away, as frostbite may be accompanied by pneumonia or other issues.

HOUSTON - A large grass fire burned in southeast Houston on Thursday.
The fire broke out along Hall Road near Kingspoint, near Dobie High School, at about 1:15 p.m.
Houston firefighters said the flames quickly spread, causing about 20 acres to burn.
A shelter-in-place was issued for the Clear Brook Meadows subdivision for a short time, but it has been lifted.
HFD offered these tips to shelter-in-place:
- close all windows and exterior doors
- turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems
- close the fireplace damper
- bring your pets inside or into a protected area
Residents in the subdivision said seeing the fire close to their homes was frightening.
"It's scary because the wind is kind of going this way," resident Max Manlangit said.
Firefighters said the blaze was not a threat to the homes or school because there were natural fire breaks between the two.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
A red flag warning is in effect in southeast Texas until 5 p.m. The warning indicated that fires could spread rapidly.

- The University Art Museum's permanent collection includes over 3,000 modern and ancient pieces, including a nationally recognized Asian Art Gallery.

Yesterday, Secretary Clinton met with Afghan women leaders.
On July 7, 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with senior executive Afghan women civil servants on a program sponsored by USAID and the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council at the State Department. In the photo above, pictured from left to right are: Ambassador Melanne Verveer, State Department; Nahid Wardag, Ministry of Finance; Qudsia Kakar, Ministry of Public Works; Rahela Sidiqi, Civil Service Commission; Secretary Clinton; Fawzia Habibi, Ministry of Women's Affairs; Najeeba Nuristani, Ministry of Education; Nazira Rahman, Ministry of Agriculture; Mina Sherzoy, USAID.
Ambassador Verveer, who serves as director of the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues, traveled to Afghanistan on June 24. Last week, Ambassador Verveer underscored the U.S. commitment to women in Afghanistan and provided DipNote's readers some reflections about her travels to Kabul and Badghis.
Normita in California writes:
Dear Secretary Clinton:
Thank you for your attention to the issue of Afghan women whose rights need to be in the forefront. Ambassador Verveer's story is an eye-opener not only to women but to all who are fortunate to live in a democratic society.
In your journey to villages around the world, may your courage and wisdom guide you in touching the hearts of many.
God bless,
Susan in Florida writes:
It is good to see Secretary Clinton looking well and back on the job. To all the ladies with USAID and the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council, thank you for your work in improving women's situations in Afghanistan and around the world. A nation can not prosper if the women, and in turn the children, are mistreated. Stopping the abuse of women and children should be a priority for every country, for every government. It is a disgrace that human trafficking of women and children is growing worse. I feel we must do more to end this. A special thank you to Secretary Clinton for her dedication to and hard work on women's issues. On a lighter note.... do I see the Department of State emblem on your sling, Secretary Clinton? If so, that is a very nice touch. Very classy, and may I say very cool. I hope you are feeling better and out of pain.
Jennifer S. in West Virginia writes:
I am grateful to see Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's and Ambassador Melanne Verveer's focus on Afghanistan and the status of women there. As Clinton proclaimed "Women's rights are human rights" so many years ago in Beijing and again reaffirmed her commitment to women's rights around the world during her confirmation hearing, she embodies the figure of speech of "when the rubber meets the road." Her actions support her words, and I am grateful that we have a Secretary of State who says what she means and means what she says!
I do hope that SOS Clinton and Ambassador Verveer will have an opportunity in the near future to meet with Arghand Cooperative founder Sarah Chayes. (http://www.arghand.org/) An award-winning journalist who reported for NPR in Afghanistan just after the fall of the Taliban, Chayes decided to give up her career and stay on in Afghanistan to help rebuild, to "speak truth to power" in a sense. She ended up founding a cooperative in Kandahar to employ local farmers and others to use their crops to make a licit (as opposed to illicit) living - rather than growing poppies for opium, they could use the fruits of their labor to make exquisite soaps and other fine skin care products. Author of The Punishment of Virtue: Inside Afghanistan After the Taliban, Chayes has been the guest of Bill Moyers, Rachel Maddow, and lots of NPR programs, which is how I learned about her and her good work. She, her work, her ideas and her commitment inspire me, and I have a feeling that they would inspire and inform Secretary of State Clinton and Ambassador Melanne Verveer as well!
Lastly, it's great to see SOS Clinton back on the stage, although I have no doubt that she's been working diligently behind the scenes. May your elbow continue to heal and may you find strength in the knowledge that we need you and we appreciate your commitment to helping women throughout the world to improve their lives!
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Dipnote bloggers, It was good to read the recent BBC report that the Afghan family law has been reviewed and modified to address the human rights concerns expressed with the original legistlation.
I can only think this topic must have been on the agenda in this meeting.
Is there any further U.S. statement on the subject forthcoming?
Joe in Tennessee writes:
You should have Ann Carlin with you in that picture, she was the most productive advocate for womens rights in the Middle East long before anyone else even cared...as far back as the 80s when I escorted her there after the Russians left.
No one would even talk to her other than a Judge because she was a woman; yet, she came under the direct orders of the President and DOS. She was the U.S. representative for negotiations on some very sensitive topics. They would speak to me because I was a male and holding a weapon and had been there before, yet had no authority other than that of her safety....She was the first U.S. representative, in all honesty, to continue efforts for female rights and the continued efforts of the U.S. by both administrations is evident.
Mrs. Clinton has not put human rights aside over politics and her continued efforts will aid us all in the long run. If you were there, you would understand how much has changed in such a short period of history.
Johnson writes:
She is good leader in afghan,,,,,,,,,,,
Shakila in Washington DC writes:
I had the privilege to have meet with these amazing Afghan women during a their visit as well as participation in a Symposium held by Bayat Foundation, aimed at creating a 'Trusted Afghan Network".
I have a set down with each women and heard their stories of about their professional victories, struggles and challenges. I wish I could post their interviews on this site, however, they were conducted in Dari.
They certainly need more support and assistance from this end in order to further continue their amazing, but challenging path to independence, economical and political equality and freedom.

Don't you just love that word? You don't hear it much but I think it is such a funny word. Sometimes I get excited about a word. They just strike me in a different way. Sometimes it's how the word sounds, sometimes the meaning, and other times how a certain person says it. Like "pocket." It is such an ordinary word but some people say it really neat and there's also the little hint of mystery of what's in that pocket?
Well, back to gobsmacked. That's what I was when I wrote about my computer woes and received a comment from Brian at Qwest. They must have some search thingy that watches for people who write about their company so they can do damage control or whatever. But he actually read my post and commented on things other than my problems. I just sent him an email so I'll be curious what he has to add.
I do have the problems solved with the desktop but I still have issues getting my wireless to work on the laptops. Mostly, just haven't had time to work them out. Qwest has been really helpful but there is a big communication gap in that I don't know enough computer talk to really answer their questions. Frustration on both sides.
So today one of my goals is to get that issue resolved. I also have to write my article for the "Tombstone Times," work on a handout for a talk I'm doing at ASU on writing memoirs, and maybe go shopping a bit. My treat for getting these things done.
How can you treat yourself for a job well done?
Have a great day!

Gobsmacked! Great word. First time I heard it was when Lisa said it on sketchbooks! I treated myself to a trip to Michaels today--40% off all artists paints, mediums etc. Fun!ReplyDelete
Hi Rita!ReplyDelete
Today I treated myself to a handful of Cadbury mini-eggs after my writing time. It really helps to bribe myself. Glad your computer issues are on the mend :)

APS Experiment Safety Review System
Welcome to the APS Experiment Safety Review System. The link below is to be used for all activities within the system (i.e. Users submitting Experiment Safety Approval Forms (ESAFs), Users editing ESAFs, Beamline reviews, APS reviews, etc.). There is a set of instructions available in the link below and from within the system for both Users and Beamline Administrators.
Experiments that present minimal hazards common to all beamlines should be submitted at least seven (7) days prior to the scheduled start of the experiment. Additional time is required for higher levels of risk and for safety protocols new to the APS. If circumstances do not allow for the full 7 days for review, the APS will consider the request for expedited review on a case-by-case basis. Examples of hazards that may require more than 7 days for review are (but not limited to): radioactive samples, biohazard samples, human tissue/material samples, equipment that is new to the APS. Failure to submit your ESAF in advance may result in delaying the beginning of your experiment.
Submitting your ESAF late may result in a delay in the start of your experiment.
If you encounter any errors using the system, please send the error message and a description of what you were doing to Bruce Glagola.

$40 Million Goes to Bell-Boeing for V-22 Components
The U.S. Naval Air Systems Command has granted $40 million to Bell-Boeing's Joint Project Office in Amarillo, Texas related to additional long-lead components for the MV-22 tiltrotor. The agreement involves components associated with building 19 V-22 Ospreys under the Lot 18 program. Around a quarter of the work will take place at Bell's facilities in Fort Worth, with another 19.2 percent at Boeing's campus in Ridley Park, Pa. Amarillo will house around 10 percent of the work and Dallas another 4.3 percent, with a number of other locations listed in the contract to include Cobham in the UK. The MV-22 is in operation with the U.S. Marine Corps, while the Ospreys flying with the U.S. Air Force are designated CV-22.
