Browsers beware, doctors take care: study finds many problems with health information on the Internet
Contact: Kara Gavin -- Phone: (734) 764-2220; E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
ANN ARBOR---If you search the Internet for advice on treating your health problems, much of what you get may be inaccurate, inappropriate, misleading or unreviewed by doctors, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Michigan Health System.
The team performed a typical Internet search for information on a single type of cancer, and analyzed a sampling of the retrieved pages. They found that nearly half of the pages that contained treatment information apparently hadn't been validated by scientific scrutiny. About 6 percent of those had wrong information, and many more were misleading. The search also turned up hundreds of frustrating dead ends, bad links and pages with no medical information.
But, the team writes in the journal Cancer's lead August article, their finding doesn't mean that Internet users should stop looking for health information---or that doctors should dismiss the data their patients find. Rather, they say, the results should encourage physicians to discuss such information with their patients, and to steer them toward trustworthy sites.
"The Internet is becoming a powerful force in medicine, and doctors should view this development as an opportunity," says lead author J. Sybil Biermann, M.D, U-M assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery. "For the public's sake, we should work to improve the quality of health information on the Internet, and to increase public understanding of how important it is for medical data to go through the process of scientific verification. In the meantime, the best advice for the public is, 'Consider the source.'"
The study, one of the first published efforts of its kind, statistically examined a sample of the pages retrieved when four popular Internet search engines searched for information on Ewing's sarcoma, a rare and often fatal form of malignant bone cancer that occurs mostly in children and teen-agers. The uncommon disease was chosen to keep the search results manageable.
The search simulated the approach of the millions of ordinary Internet users who have been told that they or their loved ones have a particular disease, and set out to find more information. The team reviewed 400 Web pages for accuracy and appropriateness, and determined whether doctors had verified the information on them---a process known as peer review.
Peer review aims to squelch inaccurate or misleading information by exposing each piece of research to the anonymous review of disinterested experts before it can be published in a medical journal or presented at a scientific meeting. For example, reviewers scrutinized the paper by Biermann and her colleagues before it could be published in Cancer.
The 400 pages evaluated in the study were culled at random from more than 27,000 retrieved when four different spellings of the disease's name were entered into four search engines. Two researchers acting independently evaluated each of the sampled pages and rated them; a statistical test showed good agreement.
Fewer than half of the sampled pages contained information about medical treatments for Ewing's sarcoma. Of those, nearly 60 percent had peer-reviewed information from the National Cancer Institute or other reliable sources. But the rest contained data and recommendations that came from non-reviewed sources---or didn't list the source at all.
The researchers used their combined expertise and a standard textbook to determine that a full 6 percent of the unreviewed pages contained wrong information. What's more, some contained information about life expectancy that could be overly distressing or falsely encouraging to the 250 Americans diagnosed each year with Ewing's sarcoma.
Medicine in the Information Age
The exchange of health information is now a leading use of the World Wide Web and of other Internet resources such as discussion groups. According to the Internet research group Cyber Dialogue, (http://www.cyberdialogue.com) 25.5 million American adults will use the Internet this year to find health information.
In fact, the idea for the study came from Biermann's own experience as the surgeon to hundreds of children and adults with different forms of primary and metastatic bone cancer, including Ewing's sarcoma.
For several years, she reports, patients have been coming to her armed with printouts of pages from the Internet. Some have even asked why her strategy for treating their disease didn't exactly match the advice they got online, or have called a new clinical trial to her attention.
She adds, "It's no longer a situation where doctors dispense information and patients passively listen; any patient or their family can now go on the Internet. But nobody really has a handle on what's out there for them to find, and it's been difficult to quantify how good the information is."
One of the hardest classes of medical information to assess, Biermann continues, is the anecdotal or "personal story" kind. The Internet abounds with newspaper feature stories and discussion group testimonials. "There is some value to anecdotes---when they're detailed, doctors call them 'case studies,'" she says. "But you have to make sure that appropriate conclusions are drawn from the evidence at hand."
All in all, she concludes, there is plenty of value to be found on the Internet, and plenty of value in the interaction between patients and physicians that comes about because of it.
"I encourage my patients to use the Internet," says Biermann. "I ask them if they found anything surprising or different from the care I've recommended, and I give them addresses of Web sites I'd recommend, such as government and nonprofit sites. I fully believe that physicians should be partners in this. We should view it as an opportunity to give our patients more information about their case."

While he hasn't reached his ultimate goal, 2009 Greenbrier High graduate Brandon Overton is taking steps toward it.
The 23-year-old Overton, who started driving local dirt track circuits, has been making the rounds regionally and nationally this summer.
In June, Overton took his super-dirt late model No. 5 Elite Concrete, Baird Transport machine to Tony Stewart's Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, for the chance to compete in the Dream XX, worth $100,000 to the winner. Overton didn't advance to race for the big money, but the experience was still noteworthy.
After not having to play a district tournament, the Martinez-Evans Little League Senior League baseball team quickly passed its first step.
Playing host to the 2014 Georgia Little League Senior League Baseball State Championship at Evans High School, MELL split their two games on Saturday but defended their 2013 state title with a resounding 7-1 win over Hart County on Sunday.
When Columbia County arrests from the week of and through the long July Fourth holiday were made public, 18 of the 78 arrests (23 percent) were for driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, including two while piloting a watercraft.
2014 Greenbrier High School graduate Travis Martinez weighed his options and chose his passion just before July 4.
Martinez, who played football and baseball for the Wolfpack, had offers in both sports, but decided to play baseball for Division II Claflin University in Orangeburg, S.C.
"I had some offers for football but baseball was where my heart was at and my parents said go with what sport your heart wants and my heart wanted to play baseball," Martinez said,
Martinez made his impression on the Panthers before the 2013-14 school year began.
East Georgia Pop Warner football is heading to camp before it officially starts practice on Aug. 1.
On Friday and Saturday, Grovetown High School is the location for the second of its camps during the week.
The EGPW Second Annual Local Heroes Football Camp will feature former Westside High School Patriot, University of Georgia Bulldog and current Kansas City Chief Sanders Commings.
A photo caption in the July 9 edition of the News-Times incorrectly stated how Luke Johnson placed on a recent shooting competition. Johnson took first place at the 2014 Southeast District competition in modified trap. The News-Times regrets the error.
• The East Georgia Pop Warner Local Heroes 2nd Annual Football Camp, hosted by ATHELITE and featuring former Georgia Bulldog and now Kansas City Chief Sanders Commings, is Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Grovetown High School. Cost is $50. Go to Eastgapopwarner.com.
After working out of the Grovetown High School weight room and track the past three years, Michael Johnson has found a permanent home.
The owner of Pro-gressive Athletic Perfor-mance and founder of the AAU Velocity Striders – now the Velocity Track Academy – Johnson plans to have his facility up and running by the middle of July.

Spring in Montreal is a great time to enjoy the little things in life- and by little, we mean tiny, as in the tiny bugs and butterflies that flutter around the Insectarium and Botanical Gardens around now…
The Montreal Insectarium is one of the city's most original attractions – and as of last summer, a whole new exhibit infests the insects' museum space at the heart of the Botanical Gardens. We, the Insects is an interpretive, interactive display that tells the story of life on Earth from the insects' point of view.
We learn that insects make up around 55% of all life on our planet, and that they're ubiquitous, and also that they're very, very weird. During a visit, we get close-up looks at the bejeweled variety of bugs in all the colours of the rainbow, as well as a chance to visit close-up with some of the big guys (under glass), including a tank beetle and a glorious, elegant stick insect in a green wonderland all his own.
After a couple of hours playing in the bug paradise of the Insectarium, be sure to head down the garden path to the Botanical Gardens, where the butterfly attraction, Butterflies Go Free, is in full flight. The Montreal Buzz has already proudly featured this great exhibit, but we thought you should know that, this year, they've expanded the butterflies' domain to include two separate viewing areas, that together contain around 75 species of butterfly, with a population of around 20,000 over the course of the event which lasts until April 29.
The butterflies hail from all over the world, including the U.K., Cambodia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Phillippines, Tanzania and of course Canada, all under one cozy roof. What better way to spend an afternoon than relaxing on a bench in the Day butterflies' dome – the gorgeous blue Morphos, who frolic in a purpose-built chute and allow visitors to get really close up. If you stand very still, it's likely they'll even land on you! It's weird but very cool.
Across the complex, the newest thing in butterfly displays are the Night Butterflies – a separate display featuring the strange world of fluttering creatures that only come out at night. Have you ever seen a Cobra Butterfly? Or a Caligo Butterfly, perched on a piece of kiwi? It's a strange and slightly terrifying sight, to be sure – and totally worth the trip.

|Round 9 Summary Report by Tom Braunlich
|Wed, May 21 2008 (21:45)
GM Yury Shulman won the U.S. Championship and IM Anna Zatonskih won the U.S. Women's Championship — but they accomplished these feats in different ways.
Shulman's game was a quick draw because his opponent, Josh Friedel, needed only a draw himself to earn his third and final GM norm. Therefore a draw was a VERY satisfactory result for both. Congratulations to Yury for his first championship. Josh should get the GM title as soon as his rating gets over 2500 (I believe it is 2490 or so now), so that shouldn't be long.
By contrast, Anna Zatonskih's road to the title was a long one due to what grueling battle with rival Irina Krush. Going into round 9 Irina had a ½-point lead. Anna beat Battsetseg to put the pressure on. Irina, perhaps pressing for the win against Rohonyan, got in trouble and lost a piece in an ending, but her far-advanced pawn made it difficult for KatRo to convert a win. After KatRo missed a few wins Irina managed to transform into R+N vs R and on move 108 they agreed a draw.
Anna and Irina then entered into a playoff for the title (prize money was split). With dozens of players watching on the projection screen in the Commentary Room, and kibitzing fervently, the players split two Game/15 (+3 sec increment) games, which Gregory Kaidanov called well played. Then followed two Game/5 (+2) games. Anna was winning the first when she nervously put her queen en prise. She then had to win with black; and did so, sending the game into an "Armageddon" final match. Irina had white and 6 minutes, while Anna had black with 4 ½ minutes and draw odds. No time increment. This game too went down to the wire. At one point Anna had 2 seconds left to Irina's 20. But Anna's draw odds gave her an edge. She could make quick moves while Irina had to do something with her moves, which drains time. In the end Irina lost on time with 0:01 left on Anna's clock! It is impossible to have a closer match than this!
Congratulations to Anna for her championship, and Irina too, for such an exciting match.
Tatev Abrahamyan lost her game, ending in a tie for third with Katherine Rohonyan. Both had fine 6-3 scores.
Onischuk cut through The Fed's antipositional KID position to win a nice game and finish in clear second place. Kudrin and Perelstheyn played a very interesting draw to leave Sergey in clear third place.
Another important game was Ludwig – Galant. Daniel was seeking an IM norm with a win. But he got nowhere in the opening and Sergey was better throughout. In the end a draw occurred. But everyone believes Daniel will have many more chances for norms as was made clear by his impressive play here.
After the play was over we had a nice formal closing ceremony. The players signed autographed boards for House of Staunton and for the Fantasy Chess prize, etc. All the staff were recognized, and then the three top finishers in each tournament came up to receive their awards and give a speech. It was a great tournament!
And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."
-Emanuel Lasker (1868-1941)

ADTRAN says it has integrated multi-tenancy capabilities into its Bluesocket virtual wireless LAN (vWLAN) solution.
This release is targeted for managed service and solution providers who need the operational flexibility to support multiple customers within a single virtualized controller.
ADTRAN's vWLAN leverages the benefits of network virtualization and a distributed data plane to free the WLAN from the local area network, helping to deliver powerful cloud services. No longer does the control and management of the WLAN have to be on the same LAN as the access points, ADTRAN said; instead, user control and device management resides in the cloud.
vWLAN's multi-tenancy capability, combined with network virtualization, gives managed service providers the ability to quickly create a hosted WLAN and respond to customer demands, ADTRAN said.
With conventional WLAN systems, guaranteeing true tenant isolation requires dedicated, isolated hardware which further increases the overall implementation cost and erodes profit margins. ADTRAN's vWLAN delivers a software-based control and management solution that can be sub-divided such that multiple tenants can securely occupy a single virtual instance.
"The challenge for service providers, including MSPs, today are how to cost-effectively scale their offerings when every customer must be treated the same in terms of access, priorities and service assurance," said Mike Sapien, principal analyst at Ovum. "ADTRAN's Bluesocket multi-tenant solution tackles this issue by enabling service providers to configure each customer on the virtual Wireless LAN independently of any others, whether this customer is in a shared campus environment, independent department by department separation or another geographic region."
"The multi-tenant capability of vWLAN gives a service provider a tremendous advantage," stated Mads Lillelund, general manager for ADTRANs Bluesocket Business Group. "With the Bluesocket vWLAN solution, providers can leverage network virtualization to quickly and cost effectively deploy profitable, cloud-class, multi-tenant, WLAN service offerings to capture the significant revenue opportunities within today's cloud-based services market."

The Moving Starke County Forward organization met in a public session Thursday afternoon and Coordinator Nancy Dembowski said the focus of the meeting was to examine the issue of health in Starke County.
"The idea was just to examine the issue, which is Starke County ranks 91 out of 92 counties in health issues," said Dembowski. "We wanted to see if we could find some achievable projects or things that could help begin to address the situation."
The organization is looking for people and ideas to help many of the ideas that have been researched become reality. Dembowski said 35-40 people attended Thursday's session.
Adult obesity and smoking were two of the main issues identified and now the organization is going to move forward in putting events in place to target those issues.
"We're thinking in terms of getting people healthy like walking projects. We could see how many miles people can put together walking as a community and as an entire county," Dembowski said.
A drug symposium is also being planned for the spring and the organization quickly noted that there is a large issue of drug abuse in Starke County.
"Surprisingly, from the statistics that we have, prescription drug abuse is higher than meth and some of the others, but they are also most certainly a problem. In Starke County with the number of meth operations that had been found and destroyed, we are in the top 10. Population-wise we may be one of the top 10 lowest, and yet here we are in the top 10 as far as meth use," Dembowski explained.
Programs and events to combat these issues are in the works. If you would like more information or would like to be part of this group, call Sarah Hoshaw at (888) 580-1060 ext. 4752.

BeschreibungControversies in Body Theology is the third volume in SCM s Controversies in Contextual Theology series (Feminist and Political Theology also published), aimed at drilling down further into the arguments and discussions taking place amongst theologians within contextual theologies, which can often be presented as wholesale agreements.Controversies in Body Theology is a collection edited by Marcella Althaus Reid and Lisa Isherwood and brings together authors from around the world, who specialise in this area. Its contents are unsurprisingly - very controversial. The book dares to examine some of the most extreme approaches to the body that our society engages with. What makes this book unique is that it does not dismiss what may be the more difficult and challenging areas of the body and society, rather it embraces them as an embodied resource for the ever-expanding task of considering the nature of incarnation through the lens of body theology.Topics range from cosmetic surgery and the bible to sacramental nature of self harm in young girls. Along the way the book looks at the Puritan heritage of Extreme Makeover programmes and the pernicious theology inherent in Slim for Him programmes. All the authors engage with academic honesty and personal courage. This is a challenging and worthwhile read for any student embarking on a course in Body Theology. Marcella Althaus Reid is Professor of Contextual Theology at the University of Edinburgh. Lisa Isherwood is Professor of Feminist Liberation Theologies at the University of Winchester, UK.

My lifes mission is to find the holy grail of DFW barbecue, so Im always on the lookout. Last Sunday I was really feeling the need for some good cue, but the problem is that a lot of the best local joints are closed Sundays. So unless you fire up your own smoker Saturday, you may be without barbecue goodness come Sunday. Its just the way it is.
When I came across the website for Big Barn in North Richland Hills, and saw that it was open Sundays, I started looking for my keys.
To find this place, get off Loop 820 at Texas 26, then immediately veer off on Davis. Head north till you think youve gone too far. Its just across the street from an irrigation supply store.
For those of you who have been following my rating system, you know barbecue dispensaries should be housed in an old, beat-up building. Points are deducted for new buildings, strip malls, or the place never having been on fire (old Dairy Queen buildings are an exception). The Barn is in an old brick building that was a general store in the 1920s and was built to replace a wooden building that burned down in early 1900s. Points for the building, the fire, and points off for spelling out Bar-B-Cue. Only copy editors and carpetbaggers spell out barbecue.
Inside, there was a serving line rather than wait staff (like God intended), and although an authentic Texas cue shop should have surly, indifferent employees (good meat sells itself) these guys were friendly and helpful. They lose points there, but gain em back for being willing to hand you samples of meat across the counter. That shows confidence.
I ordered the five meat combo, called the Barnyard. It included brisket, ribs, pulled pork, rope sausage and jalapeño-cheddar sausage. For sides, I ordered slaw and potato salad. It was $14.95. Now, I know what youre thinking theyre going to give me tiny amounts of each meat. The sign said a pound of meat, and I think they missed a decimal point. The meat was piled so high on the plate you could barely see plate. Not one to be intimidated, I also ordered some blackberry cobbler just to show I wasnt going to back down.
Once in the main dining room, I could see why they call this place a barn. Hands down, this is the largest barbecue joint Ive been in. The Barn even does live music. Its an old building, but its been remodeled. Its going to take a few years of smoke and grease to break it in and make it feel like a real barbecue joint.
But enough of that, lets talk about the food. All the sides are made in-house and all the meats are smoked on a Southern Pride smoker using pecan wood, which gives you a little smoother taste than hickory smoke. Interestingly enough, no salt is used on the cue at the Big Barn (although it is on the table). Heart Healthy cue? Im not sure what to think about that.
The brisket had a nice, heavy smoke ring after 14 hours in the box. The texture was perfect. You could pull it apart with your fingers, but it didnt break into strings like pot roast. The piece I had was maybe a touch on the lean side. There was a nice beefy smokiness, and while not the kind of lingering I gotta have more of that flavor I got at Smokeys in Fort Worth, it was good, solid sliced brisket. As far as flavor, all the meats were pretty mild, perhaps as a result of the low amount of salt. Not bad mind you, just mild. They gave me a big bowl of the spicy sauce on the side and it balanced out nicely with the brisket, ribs, and sausage adding a little kick without overpowering it. Great barbecue doesnt need sauce (and this one doesnt), but sometimes it adds to the experience.
Ribs were babyback instead of the more traditional St. Louis cut. Babyback ribs have a nicer texture and are generally more expensive, but dont have quite the flavor the larger ribs do. These were very good, and the bark that formed on them from the rub and smoke was delicious. Definitely my favorite of the night; dont skip these.
Both sausages were first-rate, and while they didnt make the sausage themselves, they did smoke them. That makes all the difference. I especially liked the jalapeño cheddar. While not as important as the meat, the sides at the Barn deserve a mention. The potato salad was good, the slaw crunchy, and then when I started talking about my sacred quest with the boss, she insisted that I try the mashed potatoes, the stuffed jalapeños and mac and cheese. (They really were trying to kill me with food at this point, and I was happy to let them.)
The mashers were great, obviously homemade. I dont like mac and cheese, yet I would eat this stuff by the bucket. It was amazing, and if I drove all the way there and found out they were out of barbecue, I would stay for the mac and cheese. The jalapeños were stuffed with brisket and colby-jack cheese, then wrapped in bacon. I cant imagine a scenario where this would not be awe-inspiring.
So is the Big Barn the Holy Grail we are looking for? The quintessential blend of perfect cue, culture and dilapidation? Maybe not, but its a relatively new joint and it has a world of potential. The meat is excellent, the owners take pride in what they are doing, and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place. In the meantime, well keep up our search for the smoky perfection. If you know where the grail is located, let us know by posting a comment below this review.

"Ho, illustrious passers-by!" said Kai Lung, the story-teller, as he spread out his
embroidered mat under the mulberry-tree. "It is indeed unlikely that you would
condescend to stop and listen to the foolish words of such an insignificant and altogether
deformed person as myself. Nevertheless, if you will but retard your elegant footsteps for
a few moments, this exceedingly unprepossessing individual will endeavour to entertain
you with the recital of the adventures of the noble Yung Chang, as recorded by the
celebrated Pe-ku-hi."
Thus adjured, the more leisurely-minded drew near to hear the history of Yung Chang.
There was Sing You the fruit-seller, and Li Ton-ti the wood-carver; Hi Seng left his
clients to cry in vain for water; and Wang Yu, the idle pipe-maker, closed his shop of
"The Fountain of Beauty", and hung on the shutter the gilt dragon to keep away
customers in his absence. These, together with a few more shopkeepers and a dozen or so
loafers, constituted a respectable audience by the time Kai Lung was ready.
"It would be more seemly if this ill-conditioned person who is now addressing such a
distinguished assembly were to reward his fine and noble-looking hearers for their
trouble," apologized the story-teller. "But, as the Book of Verses says, 'The meaner the
slave, the greater the lord'; and it is, therefore, not unlikely that this majestic concourse
will reward the despicable efforts of their servant by handfuls of coins till the air appears
as though filled with swarms of locusts in the season of much heat. In particular, there is
among this august crowd of Mandarins one Wang Yu, who has departed on three
previous occasions without bestowing the reward of a single cash. If the feeble and
covetous-minded Wang Yu will place within this very ordinary bowl the price of one of
his exceedingly ill-made pipes, this unworthy person will proceed."
"Vast chasms can be filled, but the heart of man never," quoted the pipe-maker in retort.
"Oh, most incapable of story-tellers, have you not on two separate occasions slept
beneath my utterly inadequate roof without payment?"
But he, nevertheless, deposited three cash in the bowl, and drew nearer among the front
row of the listeners.
"It was during the reign of the enlightened Emperor Tsing Nung," began Kai Lung,
without further introduction, "that there lived at a village near Honan a wealthy and
avaricious maker of idols, named Ti Hung. So skilful had he become in the making of
clay idols that his fame had spread for many li round, and idol-sellers from all the
neighbouring villages, and even from the towns, came to him for their stock. No other
idol-maker between Honan and Nanking employed so many clay-gatherers or so many
modellers; yet, with all his riches, his avarice increased till at length he employed men
whom he called 'agents' and 'travellers', who went from house to house selling his idols

Beautiful pictures of our sweet Lilly
These pictures were taken probably right before getting pregnant with her baby. She took a trip to New York for this special ceremony. At that time, Lilly was as happy as can be. We miss you so much, Lilly! We will never forget you.

Beautiful pictures of Lilly at peace. Beautiful Mandala and it looks like the ceremony was quite meaningful to Lilly.

Yes, I agree. She helped to create the sand mandala! She loved dharma and meditation practice. I'm so glad I finally found these pictures on the Kagyu Center's website. I'm trying to get in contact with the nun who's in charge of the center. She knows Lilly quite well. However, she is on a meditation retreat. Hopefully, I'll hear back soon.

Lilly looks so peaceful, almost like she knew she was about to bring to this earth such a precious gift as Palden.
Lilly, all your efforts have not gone unnoticed, thank you for showing such love to our world, thank you for believing in goodness in each soul, you matter Lilly...we will make sure Palden knows how very much you do.

Fix a torn splash guard on your garbage disposer by removing the disposer and installing a new guard. It's a quick and simple fix.
Jam a screwdriver into the locking ring and rotate it away from you. The disposer will drop onto the books. Support it with one hand so it doesn't tip over.
Grab the lower edge of the old rubber guard and peel it up and off. Then slip the new one on and push it down until it seats.
Shove several shims between the books and the bottom of the disposer until the locking ring just touches the sink flange. Then just rotate the ring to lock it in place. Reinstall the drain line, do a leak test and grind away.
Got a garbage disposer that spits, um, garbage at you? Forget about replacing the entire unit. You can install a new splash guard (about $10 at a home center) in about 20 minutes. You don't need any special tools.
If your garbage disposer is hardwired, start by flipping off the circuit breaker. If it plugs in, unplug it. Stack up books or lumber to support the disposer. Then remove the drainpipe and disconnect the quick-connect fitting (Photo 1). Replace the old splash guard with a new one (Photo 2).
The hardest part of reinstallation is hoisting the disposer up and into place with one hand while you try to engage the locking ring with the other. Forget about that. Use our tip in Photo 3.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need a stack of books.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Cookie Alternative: Not Too Tasty?Rob Hof
A surprising number of people don't like cookies. I mean those small files that get attached to your browser as you visit Web sites. Cookies let sites recognize you the next time you visit, either to avoid your having to type in a credit card number every time or for less savory reasons, such as tracking your virtual travels. JupiterResearch recently said 58% have deleted them to maintain their privacy. Now, a company called United Virtualities has come up with a new way to foil their efforts to stay anonymous online. ...
The company's Persistent Identification Element, or PIE, is a piece of code that lets Web sites get around users' cookie-crunching. It basically tags one's browser just like cookies, and it can even restore tossed cookies--and there's no software that can yet get rid of it.
United Virtualities founder and CEO Mookie Tenembaum told me that you can set your browser to maximum security to repel a PIE, but that makes browsing pretty painful. And he says he won't sell to disreputable sites, though that's certainly a gray area. But as some folks note, there could be a backlash. Deservedly so. If people go to the trouble of getting a virtual restraining order, it's nobody's business to keep stalking them.

I am a proud Farsser of the "eldar fan group", and part of the modding team producing A Wrong Turn mod for Rise of Nations
Been watching this develop for a while, and redownloading after needing to reset my PC,
Stellar Effort. Force is definitely with you on this one.
Keep up the great work!
Hey trying to download this patch, but it keeps failing as apparently there is a virus detected? Anyone else have this issue or can atleast verify the file is ok?
I have this problem too, hopefully there is a fix anywhere, I know the Republic at War guys made a new AI for their mod to improve AI performance, not sure if these guys have
I play it all the time, on Australian Servers
20 minimum during peak times to over 50
I don't think even in a larger 5v5 battle that the Venators will be able to get into SPHA range. Because if one ISD is capable of wrecking one Venator relatively quickly. Then any smart commander here would have his ships knowing he outguns his enemy. To have each ISD pick a target and wreck it. Using their own fighters to hunt down enemy bombers, as they are if any the main perceivable threat.
After reading through all these comments even putting aside my own opinions and feelings on the matter. The choice of arguments here clearly says to me. The ISD wins.
Unless the situation was clearly in favour of the Venator, such as the Venator coming at the rear of the ISD, and being able to disable it's engines, but we are talking a pretty rare occurrence considering radar and when would an ISD be alone somewhere without supporting ships to allow an enemy cruiser the size of even a Venator to pick up the rear.
I'm sorry to those out there who feel the Venator has even a slight chance at winning this in a 1v1 'fair' engagement. The only advantage it has is it's fighters. Which to be honest, once the venator is dead the ISD could just 'gap' it into hyperspace. Because seriously which ******* in a fighter would chase down an Imperial Star Destroyer which just hammered it's mothership.
Yeah it's the Imperial officer on the far left :P
Really? Well after some deeper looking around I suppose you are correct. I guess I was thinking of the old Wraithguard models, they seem to be a bit smaller.
But thinking about the strength and durability of a Wraithguard it might make sense that they are in fact that size.
My apologies
Tau on the far right "Forget about opening it, What in the warp is this?"
Well considering the Eldar quote "What do you know of our pain? We have sung songs of lament long before your people crawled from the sea on your bellies"
I find that the highest form of your so called heresy.
Dark Angels are approved by my craftworld. That is acceptable
While this does have it's badass, and cool qualities the issue is they have tried to squash a Space Marine inside Eldar Guardian Mesh armour, while also trying to squeeze a bolter inside the Shuriken Catapult
As others have already mentioned, the only 'Heavy' Eldar you will come across are those of the Dark Reaper and Striking Scorpion Aspects, as they are equipped with the heaviest armours, second only to that of the Exarchs and Phoenix lord counterparts which I imagine to have much more psychic strength due to added Spirit stones etc.
The other heavy infantry are Wraithguard, I don't believe they are quite as tall as a dreadnought, I don't think they would be any larger than a Terminator in height.
But what this 'uber-guardian' lacks is the ability to look like it can run around, do back flips while still kicking ***. Dark Reapers, Striking Scorpions, and Wraithguard, while look 'bulky' they still look like they can move, and move with grace and fluidity.
Although you defiled the term by inserting Dakka, I must admire you for the attempt. As I still Lol'd
Even though it's a plasti-crystal compound accelerated through the use of gravetic motors containing a deadly neuro-toxin. Sure he is "firin his lazer"
Or someone just woke up at all, I think that's his problem.
Evidently now it's our problem.
I'm always a star wars fan at heart, but this is still a fantastic mod, and the Klingons aren't too bad :P
Because my issue is that my game does run, and I can fully play but my colours are all messed up, is there a patch or something out there?
I'm really pumped for this mod, it's looking really good so far.
I'm sure I've read the answer to this question in here somewhere, but I'm going to ask anyway. Will this make SWGB playable on windows 7 64bit?
I'm soo happy this is still making progress.
It looks fantastic so far.
So what you are saying is actually ModDB misspelled 'hero' 10 times?
It's 40k!, Probably chaos or something :P
haha, I see what you did there...
Heaps better, keep up the good work!
Hey I'm just wondering if there is a way to see the keyboard controls etc, because after much trial and error I discovered that my WASD was actually WDZX or something. Could be the difference between my English Keyboard, and a foreign one, but is there a way to change the controls?
They look good, but i think the green, is too radioactive/glowing, if you understand me? I think a darker green would be more appropriate.
It's a HE, shaped charge, sabot round. What happened plasma rounds?
That is true haha, at least it's a cool picture.
Yes without Fire Dragons here the Eldar are screwed, but I am curious as to why there is two rangers, a guardian and one dire avenger. Eldar squads don't really mix as it they can't really work together on a squad level sometimes.
Or you know, the two have teamed up to fight orks, or tyranids, or something else heathen?
It actually means "you better f****** run"
no, this is what eldar who follow the aspect of the fire dragon look like.

Here's what other kids had to say:
I'm twelve and I have braces. They only really hurt A LOT when you get them on. When they tighten them they don't hurt as bad. I've had my braces for about 3-4 months and my teeth are already noticeably straighter. So the pain is way worth it!--AlychicxoxHAHA traintracks, hehe--DylanBieberI just got braces last week. It's awful. I mean, people don't make fun of me, since I'm twelve and it's just part of being a tween/teen. But it's just weird and painful.--missmadisonI have to get braces! Dx
Meet Miss. Mega Nerd. 3:
Glasses and braces are not a great mix for a little person with big eyes... ): --RandomNinjaa girl at my skool has braces and we call her traintracks *choo choo* ;]--happinesgirlWoohoo! Go Christians that love Harry Potter... it's called fiction for a reason... and JK Rowling is Christian herself I think.
And no I don't wear braces. My mom says I need them but I refuse.--gleefanGG1ofteboys-Sorry if I offended you, it's just two of my friends (sisters ages 8 and 11) are fundementalist and they are not allowed Harry Potter.--1nancydrew1@1oftheboyz: Same here. I'm Christian too, and my faith is the most important thing to me... my favorite book series? Harry Potter.--NAgurl15I don't really mind my braces. My mom says I'm one of those people who can pull off braces and glasses. I think I agree. If I feel like wearing my glasses then I look "cute." With braces people notice them but I never get teased about them. I don't really see the point in teasing people about their braces. It's just going to make us have a nicer smile then them, eventually. --Crazybus101My brother has braces, and he says they, are a real pain (he has to have rubber bands) but they seem to fix his teeth.--Disneyluvr@1oftheboys: Im a proud Christian too, and I sorta think those books/movies are evil.
And yes, I have braces. I sorta like them bcuz choosing colors is fun and stuff but it can get annoying bcuz there are certain foods i love and I cant eat them anymore :(
--Brooklyn1186@1nancydrew1: Why 'no offense to Christians for liking Harry Potter?' I'm a proud Christian and Harry Potter is one of my favorite book series ever.--1oftheboyzI have braces, and it's really not a big deal to me. Anyone who would turn their back on me because of something like braces isn't someone i'd want for a friend anyway.--VickiBi had braces and was totally teased because of it now that i dont have them anymore everybody is trying to be my friend. what do i do?--jaguarluv4evI'm going to get looked at by an orthodontist in the next 6-8 months to make sure I need braces. If I do I'm getting teal or neon yellow, if they come in that. :) Oh, and ya, I am either a Taoist or a secular humanist.... :\--1nancydrew1lots of my friends say there getting them i already have braces i do like them--tjk0830@CowChow Me too! I'm out of braces now :). Almost all of my friends have them --01sparklylizotaku13, PURPLE!--BlueDessertI'm getting them, we're looking at Orthodontists, the first one said I'd need an expander, an Herbst Appliance (DANG LOWER JAW!), and braces, the time span would be two years plus the Invisalign retainer-mabobs.
:D I wonder what color I should get?--lizotaku13I'm getting braces in 3-4 years!!! Huh!!!! So I have some time to prepare for them... :) I ave a teeeeeeeeny jaw. I am certainly going to get them on the bottom, two of my teeth have grown back behind the others!!! :0 P.S. If you love Harry Potter, be my friend!!!!!! (No offense to Christians.:) I am a Taoist and therefore support all religion. If you don't know what Taoisim is, look on Wikipedia. Or the dictionary. Or something like that. ;))--1nancydrew1 Previous Page Next Page

We may like lip-synching to Grease, but when it becomes a mantra for the finish of our moisturizer, we feel like a beauty school dropout. Finding the right dry-touch formula is challenging, but this cream offers the right amount of moisture without any heaviness or residue. After just two weeks of use, a whopping 90 percent of study participants noticed an improvement in their skin. Looks like this is one relationship that'll last longer than a summer.
I have combination/oily skin, so I battle shine on my T-zone on a daily basis. This product was thick and sat on my skin all day. When I touched my forehead hours after applying, I felt a gathering of oil on my temples (something that I've never experienced with my routine moisturizer).
The sample size is great, so I have given it another try more than once with similar results.

West Yellowstone police chief fired
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The West Yellowstone Town Council fired Police Chief Gordon Berger following the release of a report from a state investigation into Berger.
The investigation alleges Berger selectively enforced the law, violated court orders and, in some cases, either did not know or chose not to follow the law.
The Gallatin County Sheriff began looking into the department last fall after the National Park Service suspended a mutual aid agreement with West Yellowstone Police. The National Park Service citied a lack of training and safety concerns.
West Yellowstone council members on Monday confirmed a recommendation to end Berger's employment immediately. The town now only has two active police officers.
Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin tells NBC Montana the sheriff's deputies have been covering shifts for the past three weeks, and will continue to cover shifts until they hire a new chief.
Gootkin said West Yellowstone will have to pay for the Sheriff's Office's overtime hours.
The West Yellowstone Town Council explained their top priority is hiring a new chief, but the hiring and training process could take up to three or four months.
"Whether you agree or disagreed with the decision that was made, we now have to move forward and get some folks hired," explained Town Council Member Jerry Johnson. "Perhaps the most important position we need to fill is the chief position, so they can be involved in the hiring process of their own people. I just think we need to move forward from here and get our Police Department back in order."
Berger had been West Yellowstone's Police Chief since 2006 and had been with the department for 28 years.
NBC Montana also spoke with Berger's attorney, who explained they are reviewing the town council's decision and pursuing remedies available for the chief.

Katie Fehrenbacher at Earth2Tech has some more juicy details on venture capitalist John Doerr's meeting with Senate Democrats yesterday:
for industry-watchers interested in Kleiner's portfolio [the VC firm where Doerr is a partner], it's worth pointing out that Doerr mentioned a new "stealth mode" lithium-ion battery maker. He says the unnamed startup "creates stable, durable lithium ion batteries with higher effective storage capacity" that can power electric vehicles "twice as far, and eventually three times as far, to over 100 miles before recharging."
Doerr also gave a few clues on the company's origins and future plans – supposedly the startup was found "outside the U.S.," but is building manufacturing plants in the Midwest and will ship batteries at the end of the year. Doerr positioned the company as no less than an automotive breakthrough and said: "This technology could be a key driver for the electrification and revitalization of our automotive industry, helping us retain and create many jobs."

It is a testament of how far Connecticut has come that the least controversial fact about Andrew J. McDonald, nominated by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Thursday to join the state Supreme Court, is that he is openly gay. While his nomination does, we suppose, qualify as another historic first, for most Connecticut residents the detail that Mr. McDonald is in a same-sex marriage is irrelevant, which is how it should be.
This is a state that has grown comfortable with same-sex unions, accepting as a given that homosexuals deserve equal treatment under the law.
But Mr. McDonald's appointment invites debate for other reasons. This is arguably more a political appointment than a judicial one. Mr. McDonald, 46, has no experience on the bench. His experience is as a former state senator and political appointee.
He served as the director of legal affairs and corporation counsel for Stamford from 1999 to 2002, when Gov. Malloy served as mayor of the city. Mr. McDonald now serves as general counsel in the Malloy administration. For much of his legal career, Mr. McDonald worked as a litigation partner for Pullman & Comley, one of Connecticut's largest law firms, where he headed the firm's appellate practice.
In 2009, as co-chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he helped write proposed legislation that was so extreme as to be troubling, particularly coming from someone now nominated to sit in constitutional judgment on the state's highest court. The law would have directed the makeup of financial boards at Roman Catholic parishes to assure lay members controlled the purse strings.
Thankfully, the proposal experienced a quick death. If enacted it would have been an outrageous infringement on the free practice of religion. The Roman Catholic Church is apostolic, with authority coming from its leaders - the pope, cardinals and bishops. It is not the role of government to direct a church how to organize and control its funds.
At the time Mr. McDonald said he was only fulfilling the desire of concerned constituents for more parishioner accountability following the arrests, and subsequent convictions, of a couple of parish priests for embezzling church funds. But fixing that problem internally is a role for the church, not the government.
At the very least, Mr. McDonald deserves some tough questioning on his views of church and state and on the potential conflicts he may face as someone moving directly from the administration to the high court. As the process plays out, we withhold judgment on the appropriateness of his appointment.

Ray Bourque on D&C: Physical play and will the key for Bruins
|06.09.11 at 9:47 am ET
Former Bruins defenseman Ray Bourque joined Dennis & Callahan Thursday morning following the Bruins 4-0 win in Game 4 to discuss the game and the remainder of the series with the Canucks. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
'I saw the Bruins come out with a different will in Game 3, from the opening shift when [Mark] Recchi went out ran over two guys, they were trying to be so much more physical than they were in Vancouver," Bourque said. "I see a different will from the Bruins, and obviously that hit on [Nathan] Horton fueled things even more for the guys to rally around and make them more determined and hungry and want to win it for him. They just kept coming and coming to Vancouver in terms of physical play '¦ As both games wore on you could see the Bruins were wearing down Vancouver and how they were playing physically and it was fun to watch.'
Bourque discussed how goaltending has been such a major difference in the series.
"As you look at both teams their backbone is their goaltending and they rely on their goaltending so much, and Tim Thomas has been so much better than [Roberto] Luongo. I think that is wearing on Vancouver, as they are saying, 'what are we going to get tonight from this guy?' He's been struggling.'
Although Luongo has in fact struggled, Bourque does not expect a Cancucks goalie change for Game 5.
'I think you have to go with the guy that has gotten you there and is a Vezina trophy finalist, with Thomas, and you hope he gets back home and feels comfortable and plays his game," he said. "I think you can't go away from him, his track record in regular season is so strong … he's got to the finals so you have to ride him out."
Bourque says that the Bruins have been much more physical than the Canucks, and it is starting to play a role.
'Vancouver has a little more skill, but the will is on the Bruins side. They are not known, the Sedin twins [Daniel and Henrik] and a couple of their guys for liking the physical play and I think that is showing up," Bourque said.
Added Bourque: "I think if you look at a lot of the scrums the [Sedin twins] are looking from the outside, certainly you have to put up a stand regardless if you're a finesse player or not. There is always someone around that takes care of your skill guys and make sure if they are taken advantage of it's going to be addressed, but in close games like the first two in Vancouver you have to be disciplined, but when the game is out of hand that's when you take a stand and try and prove a point and we haven't seen that from Vancouver.'
The series is not over yet, according to Bourque, but the Bruins have proved that they can win it with the way they played in Game's 3 and 4.
"It's a long way from being over, and we gotta guard against that, and the players have to guard against feeling good about themselves," Bourque said. "But I think that was such a key for the Bruins to follow up Game 3 with Game 4 and how they played, and you've got think that these guys are on a mission, and all they see is the next game and they want to win. I guarantee you that they are going to go out with the same attitude because you just witnessed what they can do when they go out and play like they did in Game 3 and Game 4."

Facebook is getting ready to announce its foray into location-based services, according to reports. Maybe they'll be able to answer the question, "What's the point?" I'm a Foursquare addict, I check in to locations regularly when I'm out and about. And I have absolutely no idea why I do it.
AllThingsD's Kara Swisher shares details of an invitation she received for a Wednesday Facebook news event. "[A] multitude of sources indicate that Facebook will finally be rolling out its new geo-location offering," she writes.
The event comes as Foursquare enters the "big three" of social networks, alongside Twitter and Facebook -- at least, according to the San Francisco Giants. TechCrunch's MG Siegler shares a photo of the San Francisco Giants' scoreboard at AT&T Park, listing three social media addresses for the team: Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare.
Does Facebook's entry into geolocation mean existing players like Foursquare and Gowallah should be running scared? Maybe not. "[F]ear not, Facebook's service is likely to integrate other third-party services and will give developers on Facebooks platform geo-location capabilities," Swisher writes.
Siegler also speculates what the announcement means for Foursquare:
So Foursquare is dead, right? Dont count on it.
As weve been saying for months, it seems highly likely the Facebook is going to take a platform approach to location. That is, theyre more likely to federate other location streams (such as Foursquares) while they themselves remain fairly cautious with their own location services. You can probably expect a bare-bones check-in functionality on their mobile apps (as we spotted months ago).
But just as with their status updates, many people may populate that with location data via third-party services (again, like Foursquare).
Facebook will likely offer its own APIs to allow third-party developers to build location services into their products, Swisher says.
Foursquare, meanwhile, isn't standing still. It's working on Version 2.0 of its service.
And Twitter launched its own location service last month.
I've been a religious user of Foursquare for quite some time now. I admit that I'm probably Foursquare's oddest user, because I'm a workaholic with a home office. I spend most of my waking time in one place, where I am right now, sitting at my iMac. When I do go out, which I do several times a week, I go to the same places over and over: The neighborhood Chipotle, our favorite corner Mediterranean restaurant, the park five days a week where I exercise. I can't say I've ever gotten any significant benefit from my Foursquare participation, and yet I keep tapping that "Check In" button on my iPhone, because it's a habit, and because it's mindless fun. They have the basics of simple game mechanics down: Get people to do simple, mechanical, repetitive tasks, and give them occasional random rewards -- in the form of badges and mayorships -- to keep them doing it.
Foursquare has deals with some businesses to offer specials. When I check in at the local movie theater, I get a notice that says "Special Nearby," which turns out to be a sale at the mall Starbucks.
But location services will have to offer more than mindless, repetitive fun to have staying power. That might just happen; like Twitter and blogging, it may turn out the real value of location services might emerge only when enough people have been using them for enough time.

Funding Opportunities
Development of Assays for High-Throughput Screening for Use in Probe and Pre-therapeutic Discovery (R01)Funding Number: PAR-13-364
Funding Type: PAR
Release Date: September 27, 2013
Expiration Date: January 8, 2017
Web Site: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-364.html
The participating NIH Institutes and Centers invite Research Project Grant (R01) applications to develop assays for high throughput screening (HTS) for use in Probe and Pre-therapeutic Discovery. Through this FOA, NIH wishes to stimulate research in 1) developing assays for specific biological targets and disease mechanisms relevant to the mission of participating NIH Institutes with the intent to screen for small molecule compounds that show potential as probes for use in advancing knowledge about the known targets, identifying new targets, or as pre-therapeutic leads; and 2) establishing collaboration with screening centers that have the requisite expertise and experience needed in implementation of HTS assays for the discovery and development of small molecule chemical probes. This FOA seeks to establish a stream of scientifically and technologically outstanding assays for screening by the NIH Molecular Libraries Production Centers Network (MLPCN) in the Molecular Libraries Program (MLP) and other academic centers. One important criterion for this initiative is novelty, so applicants are therefore encouraged to avoid focusing on areas and approaches that have been extensively targeted in other settings. Assays should be relevant to the scope of research in at least one of the participating NIH Institutes.

Cuts to Head Start programs expected to affect N.J. families as well as kids
For Pompton Lakes mother Amani Bazbaz, there is no question that Head Start works.
The impact is clear, she says: Her oldest child, now 10, did not attend Head Start before entering kindergarten and, today, struggles academically. Meanwhile, her second-oldest, who is 8 and did go through Head Start, is flourishing in school. Her youngest children, ages 2 and 3, are currently in either Head Start or Early Head Start programs, and they, too, are academically more advanced than their older sister was at the same age, says Bazbaz.
"You can tell. … You see the difference between the one that did go to Head Start and the one that didn't," said Bazbaz.
It's advantages like these that local Head Start officials say are likely to be available to fewer families in Bergen and Passaic counties this fall, when federal budget cuts — known as the sequester — are expected to take effect.
"It's going to be devastating," said Elaine Ruhl, executive director of the Center for Family Resources, which provides Head Start and Early Head Start programs for approximately 490 children and their families in Passaic County.
The center serves families everywhere in Passaic County except Paterson and the city of Passaic, which have their own Head Start programs. Ruhl said the center currently receives a little over $4 million annually from the federal government. While she has not been given specific numbers, Ruhl said funding is expected to be cut about $200,000 when the center's next budget cycle begins in September.
The sequester officially went into effect on March 1, setting in motion approximately $85 billion in federal spending cuts. Under the sequester, Head Start programs across the nation will lose about 5 percent of their funding for the 2013 fiscal year, which for some has already begun, while for others does not start until September, according to the National Head Start Association. How those cuts will be implemented will be decided by individual program administrators, but the Office of Head Start — which administers funding for the program — estimates about 70,000 children nationwide will lose access to Head Start services because of the sequestration cuts.
In New Jersey, the White House has predicted that Head Start and Early Head Start programs would be eliminated for some 1,300 children.
Currently, about a million children in the United States receive Head Start services annually, according to the Office of Head Start. Head Start serves preschool-age children and their families. Many Head Start programs also provide Early Head Start for infants, toddlers and pregnant women whose families have a household income below the federal poverty level.
"We're talking about the neediest of families. … It's not a good scenario," says Elaine Miller, spokeswoman for the Bergen County Community Action Partnership, which provides Head Start services to about 500 children and families in Bergen County.
Head Start programs are meant to prepare children for school, but organizers say they offer much more than just academic support. In Bergen County, Miller says teachers will take time during breakfast and lunch to demonstrate proper eating etiquette or discuss nutrition with students. Family advocates visit parents at home, often referring for counseling, job training or English as a Second Language classes. Staff have also held parenting workshops and cooking classes, she said.
In Passaic County, Ruhl said her staff makes sure pregnant women in the programs receive prenatal care, work with families to develop goals and, on at least one occasion, helped a family negotiate payment for a child to receive needed dental work.
"It's not just reading and writing. We do the whole child and their family," said Ruhl. "And that piece is going to go out the window."
Ruhl does not yet know how she will reduce her budget to accommodate the coming sequester cuts, but she says she will probably have to cut enrollment. If she does that, she says she will probably have to lay off staff as well.
The Bergen County Community Action Partnership currently receives about $5 million in federal aid to provide Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Miller says partnership officials have been told to plan for a 5 percent reduction in aid, which would affect the Bergen County programs starting this September. The agency has drawn up a tentative plan for dealing with the cuts, but until that plan is final, Miller is wary of discussing specifics.
The partnership's executive director, Robert Halsch, said, however, that the agency is facing the possibility of having to reduce enrollment about 75 slots, though he was quick to say it would try to ensure that no students already in the program would be affected. That would likely mean layoffs as well, he said.
"It's a significant impact," said Halsch.

WKVI Food Drive a Success, Hundreds of Pounds Raised
The WKVI food drive at Five Star in Knox and Sander's Foods in Winamac was a success, raising several hundred pounds of food and for both the Pulaski County and Starke County food pantries, as well as a significant amount of monetary donations.
Joan Haugh at Community Services of Starke County said she was pleased with the result of the food drive at Five Star. Donors put forth more than $270 to go toward the food pantry, and Five Star also made a $500 donation. A total of 166 pounds of food were raised at Five Star for the food pantry, and Haugh said it will go a long way.
WKVI Food Drive at Sanders, Five Star Begins at 9 a.m.
It's finally here. The fourth WKVI Food Drive at Five Star – and this year, Sanders Foods as well – runs this morning from 9 a.m. until noon, live on K99.3 FM. The staff is hoping to outdo last year's donation of 375 pounds of food for the local food pantry, and to aid in that, the food drivee features a new addition to the event as WKVI General Manager Jerry Curtis will be broadcasting live and accepting donations at Sander's Foods in Winamac while Tom Berg and Lenny Dessauer broadcast and collect at Five Star in Knox.

Five Star Sells Out of Twinkies
Twinkies lasted less than 24 hours on the shelves at Five Star in the Knox Mall. The Hostess treats are sold out, but more will be in stock next week. The gooey goodies made their return after a hiatus prompted by last year's Hostess Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management purchased the bakery in March for $410 million. CEO C. Dean Metropoulos stated at that time that the company would make $60 million in capital investments to reopen locations throughout this summer, with plans to hire at least 1500 employees to get the snacks back on the shelves.
Hostess Snacks Return to Starke County
Twinkies have made their long-awaited return to Starke County to minimal fanfare, but while the snack cakes aren't exactly flying off the shelves, some residents were excited to see their favorite Hostess treats back on sale. Five Star in Knox began selling Hostess products this morning, with a display set up and ready before 11 a.m.
One Knox resident said he was elated to see the products back on the shelves, though they didn't have the snack his wife was looking for.
Five Star to Donate Portion of Sales to Employee Dealing with Cancer
If you're the type of person who saves their grocery shopping for the weekend, holding off for one week would go great lengths in helping a Starke County family in need.
On Saturday, March 9, many employees at the Knox Five Star will be wearing pink or grey shirts with purple ribbons in honor of their coworker, Wanda Gross, who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Gross has been a cashier at Five Star for several years, and the employees are banding together in an effort to show their support for the family.
Also on Saturday, Five Star has announced that they will be donating two percent of the day's sales to the Gross family. So, if your pantry is looking a bit scarce, save your shopping for Saturday, March 9, and a portion of your purchase – at no additional cost – will go toward the Gross family to help cover the often-overwhelming costs of cancer treatment.
WKVI/Five Star Food Drive a Success!
The WKVI/Five Star food drive for the Community Services of Starke County Food Pantry was held Saturday at Five Star and it was a success. The boy and girl scouts in North Judson also helped get donations for the food drive.
Several carts were loaded with food items and several cash donations were made. Community Services of Starke County Director Joan Haugh said it greatly helps the food pantry. Continue reading
WKVI/Five Star Food Drive Today
Today is the day to help your neighbors in need.
Members of the WKVI staff will be ready to take your non-perishable food donation for the Community Services of Starke County Food Pantry today at Five Star in Knox from 9 a.m. to Noon. When you get to the store to pick up your groceries, put a few other items in the cart for the pantry and that donation will go to help the over 290 families that utilize the food pantry each month.
Five Star/WKVI Food Drive Next Weekend
This Saturday, WKVI and Five Star are teaming up for another community event to help others in need. On Nov. 17, we will be broadcasting live from Five Star and taking donations to help stock the Community Services of Starke County Food Pantry in our Third Annual Food Drive.
Joan Haugh, Community Services of Starke County executive director, is looking forward to the event.
