Very Confused
My girlfriend is 59. She has high sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Her doctor told her that her pancreas has stoped working. I am confused because I can`t figure out what type she is. Metforman and two types of insulin work to get her sugar down to 140 150 but it goes back to 300 350 or more within a hour. She stays sick in her stomack 24 hours a day she has pink sores in her mouth and now they are starting to spread to her face. She is a small person about 115 pounds. She has a verry stressfull job. I can`t for the life of me figure what is what. Thanks.
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. On this site, NetWellness experts try to answer general questions about health. Only a health professional performing a thorough clinical exam is able to evaluate your girlfriend's symptoms. However, NetWellness may have some general information available that you can access through our search feature.
That being said:
1) The fact that she is a small person with diabetes provides evidence that she is likely to have substantial insulin deficiency and that she may need to be on multiple doses of insulin per day, some to provide a basal component of insulin throughout the day as well as injections designed to increase the insulin levels in preparation for each meal. The spikes of blood sugar suggest the need for better matching of the distribution of food intake, insulin and exercise.
2) The complaint of feeling sick all the time may be an underlying problem or may be related to the metformin. That would suggest that a trial of going off the metformin under a doctor's supervision (probably with corresponding adjustment of the insulin) may help sort out whether the metformin is contributing to this problem. If getting rid of the metformin doesn't resolve the problem, it will be important to consider other possible diagnoses
Feel free to write back if you still have questions or need an explanation.
3) It would be important for a doctor to look at the sores to determine possible causes.
It sounds like your girlfriend needs further medical attention, whether from a primary care provider or from a diabetes specialist.

The regular, third Sunday of every month meeting of Save Our Sons (SOS) at Crenshaw United Methodist Church featured presentations this month by Tony Massengale, senior Los Angeles County Human Relations consultant—Racialized Gang Violence Prevention coordinator, and Stanley Ricketts, director of the Los Angeles County Probation Department's Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Services Department.
SOS is a non-profit organization established by Dr. Delores Allyne to improve relations, services, and outcomes of African Americans involved in the criminal justice system. Since their inception, the group's membership has grown with male and female individuals whose family members find them incarcerated, frequently unfairly, with little hope for an early release from jail or prison.
After the opening remarks and welcome by Rev. Cedric Bridgeforth, members of the audience were asked to introduce themselves. Many of the guests chose to share the plight of their family member or members who are currently incarcerated. Their frank admissions provided an unpleasant view of their perception of how unjust our justice system has been towards their family member who, in many cases, they believe were convicted and sentenced improperly.
One woman indicated that her two sons and brother are incarcerated for life while a father in the audience announced that his son had been recently released from prison. Allyne shared with the crowd that her son had been incarcerated for some time for a murder he did not commit and that she had spent a considerable amount of money with lawyers and private investigators that had done absolutely nothing to assist her son. He has exhausted all of his appeals and his hope for justice has been severely diminished.
Being in a room filled with Black people whose son, brother, father, or grandfather is incarcerated, under questionable circumstances, gives one an unpleasant feeling realizing that they are victims who have few choices or other options to secure their family member's freedom.
The mere existence of SOS, with the support mechanisms they provide, makes for a ray of hope for its members who participate on a regular basis.
Massengale, a Los Angeles native who has dedicated himself to community-oriented youth, young-adult and gang prevention and intervention activities, discussed his new assignment which involves the development of Pasadena-Altadena Vision 2020 that is hoped to be adopted by Los Angeles County as the new model for preventing racialized gang violence.
He also described his role in assisting the County Human Relations Commission contribute to a regional gang reduction plan the county.
Ricketts, also reared in Los Angeles, discussed the efforts that he and his staff of over 32 juvenile probation officers, assigned to the middle and high schools throughout Los Angeles County. He elaborated on the improvement and positive results he and his staff have been able to achieve in the critical areas of academic performance, attendance, punctuality, as well as the overall attitude of the young men and women currently on probation.
The message of each presenter revealed similarities in the approach to re-directing young gang-affiliated individuals and youngsters already involved in the justice system, to more productive endeavors.
Improving the performance of our young people in school and preventing the proliferation of gang-related criminal activity in our community will only be properly addressed when all of the stakeholders contribute to and participate in the planning, communication, and execution of the elements that work.
Young people, gang members, parents, school administrators, local gang-intervention and prevention organizations, as well as law enforcement representatives must all play a significant role in the eventual eradication of the crime, gang-related violence, truancy, and academic failure of our youth.
The next SOS meeting will be held on Sunday, at 2:30 pm, November 18, at the Crenshaw United Methodist Church.

Breastfeeding Support Intervention in Jaundiced Infants

- How to Read a Study Record
Breastfeeding decreases the risk of many infantile infectious diseases and certain types of cancers in women. It strengthens the bond between mothers and babies and decreases the health care cost to society by making children healthier. Although it is controversial, breastfeeding has been reported to increase the risk of jaundice in the neonatal period. There is some evidence that mothers of hospitalized jaundiced infants discontinue breastfeeding early, as they feel responsible for the baby's condition.
The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of a breastfeeding intervention on breastfeeding duration in jaundiced infants. All eligible infants will be randomized to one of two groups (an intervention or a control group). Mothers of infants in the intervention group will meet with a lactation consultant during their hospital stay, and three times post hospital discharge. Lactation consultants are individuals who have received certification in breastfeeding support from an international board, ensuring safe and effective practice. Mothers of infants in the control group will receive the current standard of care, which is typically support from the nursing staff, who are often not trained in lactation support. Information will be collected on length of time that infants are fed only breast milk, future visits to health care providers, mothers' need for breastfeeding support post hospital discharge, mothers' perception of their physicians' attitudes towards breastfeeding, and mothers' experiences at the hospital, as well as feedback on the intervention. Phone follow-up will occur one week post hospital discharge, and when the child is 2, 3, 4 and 6 months old.
The results of this study will clarify the importance of offering sound breastfeeding advice to mothers of young infants hospitalized with jaundice and help determine whether there is a need for trained lactation specialists in children's hospitals. It will allow us to examine whether such an intervention can have a quantifiable impact on children's health in their first 6 months of life, as measured by physician encounters and hospitalizations. It will also allow collection of information on advice and support given to breastfeeding women by primary care physicians, potentially identifying needs for more rigorous breastfeeding training during medical training.

I typically throw 300' driver, 250 midrange and 200 putter. I probably use too much arm and not enough technique. I'm going to try and fix that this year.
You ever get the feeling like you want some new discs though to freshen your game a bit and make it more exciting? I've been using this same bag for about 2 years and just replacing discs that get lost. Wondering if you could give me some suggestions on improvements or lateral moves?
Valkryie (DX plastic) - I use this mostly when I have alot of open space and I want a long S curve
Beat in Valk (DX Plastic) - I use this for high speed turnover shots cause I don't have a flick really.
Valkrye (Star plastic 171) - I use this when there's alot of trees so I don't ruin my DX version or when I don't need as big of an S curve
Predator (High overstable 173) - I use this when I need a heavy left turn overstable disc. Or I use this for a blade or sometimes trick shots.
Orion LF (Long fade 170ish) - This was recommended to me as a good into the wind disc
Teebird - I use this for a 250-275 fairway drive which needs to be precise
Buzz midrange - I am coming from an ultimate frisbee background and this felt more like an ultimate disc then the Roc did. The roc seemed to not hang up in the air as long or float.
Wizard putter - I like the feel of the putter but I'm not very good with it but I'm getting better.
Any thoughts you can gimme would be appreciated. Thanks.
Some possibilities might be some Blizzard plastic like a wraith. Or I could go with a Discraft flash. Or a DX destroyer?

Hershey's Trip Part 1
In early December, I had the opportunity to travel to Hershey, PA for a blogger trip. You may remember the giveaway I hosted as part of the trip. Well I didn't get around to a recap because once I got back from the trip, it was crunch time for the holidays and the new year. I finally just recently downloaded the pictures from my camera, got all my chocolate goodies put away, and sat down to write up the trip. I'm going to be featuring different aspects of the trip over a couple different posts. So hang in there!
After a bumpy turbo-prop flight from Boston, I landed at the airport and there was a driver waiting for me. I was pretty shocked at how tiny the airport was! A driver picked me up and we were off to the sweetest place on earth. My flight got in early enough that I had time to go check into my room and relax a bit before meeting up with the other bloggers.
The accomodations were amazing! Hershey's put all of the bloggers up in the Woodside Cottages at The Hotel Hershey. They were cute cottages that had a great room that everyone had access to and then we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. So we had two keys to keep track of, but that was ok. The great room had a mini fridge, a big table, couch, TV, and fireplace. The rooms were amazing too. I had two queen size beds, a desk, TV and a HUGE bathroom with a double sink, shower, toilet, and soaking tub. Each room also had a door that went directly outside with a little porch area.
Once I threw my stuff down, I started nibbling on the chocolate bar they gave me when I checked in (I went with dark as opposed to milk chocolate) and digging through my swag bag. I was excited to find all kinds of goodies in there including a branded Flip camcorder!
After a late lunch, we headed over to Chocolate World! I have really enjoyed meeting a variety of bloggers over the past year and it was really interesting to meet some non-food bloggers. In fact, there were only two of us who called ourselves food bloggers. Fellow baker, Anna, from Cookie Madness (who I had met in NYC earlier in the year) and myself. That was it. Naomi from Bakers Royale was supposed to be there but she had a job interview come up at the last minute. I would have loved to meet her too!
Once we arrived at Chocolate World, we were introduced to the Hershey's team who put the trip together for us. We started with the Chocolate Tour Ride where we learned all about how chocolate is made at Hershey's.
We got to see the Really Big 3D Show that was actually really neat. I swear I had to sit on my hands not to reach up to grab the Hershey Kisses that looked like they were dropping from the sky!
And of course, we got to make our own chocolate bars. It was a lot of fun choosing the mix-ins and then designing our own labels for our candy bars. Once all the design work was done on the computer, you got to see your candy bar going through the various stations.
I chose a dark chocolate base (obviously), and pretzel sticks, chocolate cookie pieces, and butter toffee crunch for my fill-ins. I opted not to get festive sprinkles on mine, although they were really cute.
I was bummed that when my candy bar made it to the pretzel station, only four little pretzels came out! I love the salty-sweet combo so I definitely missed those pretzels when I bit into the candy bar later.
Speaking of later, here is a picture of my candy bar after I got it back to Boston and cut it open. The candy bar was huge! It was about the size of a normal Hershey's bar but really thick. It was very chocolatey!
After that we had time to shop! Hershey's provided a $50 gift certificate to use in the store, so I stocked up on some hard to find products, like cinnamon chips and dark chocolate cocoa.
We also got to try some new products (which they sent home with us as well). I loved the tiny Reeces peanut butter cups. I see some peanut butter cup brownies in my future!
After a long afternoon at the Chocolate World, we headed over to Harvest for dinner. I didn't take any pictures the rest of the night, but I had an amazing Dark Chocolate Braised Pork Shank. The entire meal was amazing, and we got to meet the head of PR for the Hotel that night as well. I sat next to some awesome bloggers who do product reviews for moms.
Overall the first day at Hershey's was amazing and chocolate filled. After a long day, I took advantage of the huge soaking tub and enjoyed an hour long chocolate bubble bath. Stay tuned for a recap of day two at Hershey's coming up next week!

Wow, that sounds like an incredible trip! I really hope to make my way over there someday. So nice of Hershey to do all that!
Wow, this looks like a fantastic trip! I went to Hershey World once when I was small and all I remember were the rides! 🙂
That chocolate tour sounds really fun! I went on a Callier facotry tour in Switzerland. It was pretty lame and not as high tech(they did have a tasting room though).
How can I get in on this action next time?! How fun!! I think I would go crazy with that much chocolate.
Hershey is a fun place to go, even as an adult. I go every 6 months with 2 friends of mine and we spend a day at the Chocolate Spa at Hotel Hershey (hopefully you had a chance to go – it's AMAZING). The Hotel Hershey is gorgeous and is even better in the spring/summer, when the gardens behind the hotel are in bloom. And I love shopping at Chocolate World for all of the baking items that are so hard to find elsewhere! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip.
Wow! Totally jealous of that trip! And I am so going on a mini pb cup search soon – my kitchen needs them 🙂
I live about an hour from there and we were just there on New Year's Eve. Looks like you had an amazing time. Don't you just love how it smells like chocolate everywhere?!?!?!? I have never stayed at the hotel hershey because we live so close, but maybe hubby and i need to do a night away!!! can't wait to see the rest of your trip!!!
Chocolate bubble bath?! nice! What a great experience for you. I went on a family road trip here (and to Reading, PA – Amish Country!) when I was a kid. I had so much fun!!!
how neat you got to make your own candy bar!! awesome choices 🙂
the shaws by me has cinnamon chips now, if you need any more 😉
Wow, what a trip! I'm somewhere between insanely jealous and ravenously hungry now, haha. Thanks for sharing! It looks like you had a lot of fun. I'm so glad I found your blog. Looking forward to exploring your recipes and seeing what's next! – Georgia
I love Hershey:-) It's always been one of my favorite places. It sounds like you got the royal treatment, jealous!
i have to say, i never thought of visiting hershey…but it sounds like you fun, and i am a sucker for any "food factory" tour. it was so nice of them to show you ladies such a good time!!
Looks like you had a ton of fun! And now I want to take a chocolate bubble bath too
Your chocolate bar looks amazing! And the store looks pretty cool too. I'd love to go to Hershey at some point.
How cool! I love the make your own candy bar part and I agree with you, I would have wanted lots of salty pretzels in there! So fun!
Great Post and we had a fabulous time! It was wonderful meeting you and your Blog is fabulous!
Leslie Loves Veggies
Talk about a delicious trip! You have totally made me want to go! I love the make-your-own. I definitely would be a toffee and dark chocolate person!
What a cool trip! Looks like you had fun. Can't wait to hear about the rest of it!
This sounds absolutely fabulous. You might have to go into business with that candy bar. I was ready to buy one after the description… with more pretzels please. rom the accommodations to the shopping to that chocolate bath… wow!
How fun! I want some mini Reese's cups to bake with!

Photo Gallery: Project Rooms
Set up an organized space.
Photo Gallery: Project Rooms
A white room gets a hit of colour from a vibrant inspiration board and many fabric swatches.
Homeowner and designer Git Gustavsson designated one of the bedrooms in her house as her "inspiration room," and it's here that she designed and created most of the pillows and drapery in the house. To stoke her creativity, she fills the room with favourite photos and artwork, books and magazines.
See more Project Rooms in our photo gallery.
A bright white space with unexpected prints.
Homeowner and stylist Trish Johnston prefers to keep windows unadorned wherever privacy isn't a concern. The bare window in her office — a space where she needs visual calm — allows the maximum amount of light to flood the room and keeps clashing colours and pattern to a minimum. Hot pink carpet tiles and the chair, found in an alley, are the exceptions here.
See photos of Trish's balcony and watch an online TV tour of her condo. Plus, see more beautiful spaces in our Stylists' Houses photo gallery.
With abundant storage, a pet-grooming tub and even space for the car, this garage has it all.
An avid gardener, the owner opted for a large double sink for cleaning gardening tools and flowerpots. Shelves keep watering cans, small tools and containers off the floor. The barn doors also provide easy access to the garden for tractors delivering trees or equipment. Since bathing a dog in a standard tub can be a back-breaking affair, the owner had the stairs and surround built to house the bathtub on a raised platform. Doggie accessories, including a towel, stuffed toys and balls, are conveniently stored in a wire basket behind the tub and in glass apothecary jars. Inside the steps, the owner tucks away supplies including bags of barbecue charcoal, dog food and paint cans.

Turn a small bracketed shelf into a ribbon caddy.
Set aside an unused table or desk as a handy wrap station. Heather Shaw — owner of Pi'lo in Toronto — stocks this table in her bright upstairs laundry room with her signature all-season wrap: kraft paper with raffia or grosgrain ribbon.
Dare to combine bold colours.
H&H style editor Michael Penney decided to keep the apple green silk slub drapes left behind by the previous owners. He chose a fresh aqua wall colour that shakes up the traditional fabric of the wing chair — picked up in Maine for $95 as is. The colour palette is unexpected — the paint goes, but doesn't quite match the chair, which is the contrast Michael was going for. His inspiration board (right), is a convenient spot to pin up magazine cutouts, fabric samples and inspiration photos. (Learn how to dress up your own bulletin board with paint and ribbon.) The dresser was another affordable find from Maine. Read more on decorating his second floor.
Read all about Michael's new house — including before shots and DIY projects — in his blog, tour through each floor on Online TV, see the full story in our June 2011 issue, and browse all before and after photos in the online gallery.
When a room does double duty, smart organization is key.
The space in this converted garage works as a home office, yoga studio and sitting area. Wall-to-wall shelving makes the most of a long wall, allowing for storage and display. Many of the office necessities, such as filing cabinets, tuck under side tables when not in use, and double as extra seating when needed. The oval table is also on wheels, making it easy to move aside when the space converts into a yoga studio.
Get more great organization ideas in our Organization Tricks photo gallery.
White paint and plenty of storage makes for an organized sewing and crafts room.
This sewing, craft and gift-wrap station was designed into a nook of a basement laundry room. The plans included built-in cabinets that provide lots of storage to organize supplies and seasonal items. Simple Ikea boxes turn the open shelves into a tidy display and white paint keeps it fresh and bright. The durable slate flooring is practical and elevates the decor.

Cabinets and drawers discreetly conceal a well-stocked wrapping station, installed in the pantry due to a lack of storage space elsewhere.
This clutter-free cupboard holds rolls of pretty paper and spools of ribbon, keeping them at the ready for any occasion like birthdays, Christmas or anniversaries. Apothecary-style drawers contain tape and scissors while a pull-out cabinet stores extra supplies. When designing storage spaces for crafts, be sure to include independent drawers and compartments that can consolidate small items.

Meredith Heron converted a basement safe into a cosy scrapbooking nook that celebrates family life.
Key Elements
Warm Wood An antique pine console table (used as a desk), matched with an iconic Panton chair offers an edgy tension.
Painted-Brick Walls Para Paints' Gallery White brightens the industrial brick, creating a clean backdrop to display art and collectibles.
Layered Textures To emphasize the scrapbooking theme, Heron has layered area rugs, upholstery and patterns.

A basic laundry room cleans up its act with new storage options and a colourful look.
This laundry room doubles as a storage room, craft area and wrapping centre. Cabinetry built along the wall opposite the appliances holds lightbulbs, batteries, extra garbage bags and other household supplies. A pegboard outfitted with hanging containers and small rods keeps craft and wrapping materials organized while an adjoining corkboard displays inspirational photos for craft and reno projects. Open shelves were placed high on the walls to add storage space without making the small room feel closed in; bins and baskets are used here to keep small items corralled.

Designer Kelly Deck makes artful use of a spare room.
A long work table in the middle of this former bedroom allows for various projects to be on-the-go simultaneously. Two rows of upper cabinets keep the striking wallpaper visible while providing closed storage, and a wall-mounted rod and cup system keeps everyday essentials organized and at hand. This room could easily double as a home office, using the table as a spacious desk.
See the before photo, plus more stunning before-and-after shots in our photo gallery of Bold Renovations, plus see more of Kelly Deck's Interiors and 26 Happy Yellow Rooms.
A wall-mounted storage system keeps floors and counters free of clutter, leaving more space for working.
Slatwall is an easy way to create flexible storage for less formal rooms. A variety of accessories are available, such as baskets, shelves and hooks. When combined with kitchen-inspired storage, including ample drawers, closed cupboards and an extra-long counter, any work space can be organized and efficient.

Create a practical area for gardening complete with a deep apron sink and storage for tools.
"In my dream home, the one inside my head, I have a space very much like this — white and bright and functional and dedicated to only one thing — flowers," says Moggit blogger Janet Villeneuve. "I love the utilitarian beadboard, the scroll shelf brackets and the no-nonsense concrete floor. Even my kids couldn't ruin them!"

a good customer talked me into entering this contest. this is a burger i have on my menu at my cafe. hope you enjoy.
This turkey and pork sausage burger with Provolone and apple/cherry/almond chutney is a winner with my family. I feel like I've created a very healthy meal in a bun.
This apple flavored bratwurst burger is a fun way to remember the story of Wilhelm Tell. The burger looks like an apple itself with the red sprinkled paprika bun, stem and basil leaves.

Is morality a set of universal laws, like the laws of nature, that were just discovered by the Buddha? If so, is there any value in trying to understand where morality comes from, or why morality is the way it is - why some things are bad and others are good? For example, if good things are good because they correspond to values that exist outside of the human mind, or if they are good because it benefits humanity and for no other reason? I am interesting in learning what exactly is the foundation for morality in Buddhism in terms of ontology.(I hope that means what I think it does).
How does Buddhism understand epistemology? For example: how can we know that what the Buddha teaches is correct or is not? Do you have to put complete faith in Buddha and trust that what he teaches is correct? As with morality, where does such a standard of evaluating truth come from and what is it's ontological foundation.
If everything is impermanent, then why does Buddhism teach that the Dhamma is eternal and always the same? And what about Nirvana - is that not permanent? If everything really is impermanent, they is that not a permanent truth? Will the Buddhas teaching one day change or break down?
I hope what I have written makes sense. I'm sure my questions have been asked many times but please take that time to help me out.
Kind regards

Koehler zeros in on Phillies over six innings
Right-hander placed on paternity list shortly after sharp outing
MIAMI -- If Tom Koehler pitched like he was on a mission, there was a good reason.
The Marlins right-hander took the mound on Wednesday night aware that his wife, Ashley, was expecting their first child any moment.
With more than just baseball on his mind, Koehler stepped up to throw six shutout innings, striking out seven and setting the tone in Miami's 5-0 victory over the Phillies at Marlins Park.
Ed Lucas and Casey McGehee provided RBI doubles off left-hander Cole Hamels in the fifth inning to provide Koehler with some run support.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia's two-run homer off Mario Hollands in the eighth inning broke the game open.
Immediately after the game, Koehler was placed by the Marlins on the paternity list, with his wife expected to deliver at any time.
"He was warming up and pitching like she was getting ready to give birth any second," Saltalamacchia said. "He threw the ball well, really just attacked the hitters, went after them."
By the time the clubhouse was open to the media, Koehler was already long gone in anticipation of the birth of his first child.
"Not easy for all of us in sports that have gone through this before and had stuff going on outside baseball," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "He's concerned about his wife and how she's feeling, and this has been something that's kind of been coming. We've known this over the last two or three days.
"He and I talked over the off-day and this was sort of prepared. ... It's hard to concentrate with such a huge event coming, but he did a great job. He did exactly what he needed to do and gave us a chance to win that ballgame, and now he gets to go home and enjoy the birth of his daughter. Pretty cool."
The Marlins have won two straight for the first time since June 8-9.
In the dugout after he was replaced, Koehler attempted to rehash his start with Saltalamacchia.
"The first thing he said to me was about the pitching aspect of it," the Marlins catcher said. "I just told him, 'Go have a baby. Don't worry about tonight. You have another start in five days. Go have a baby.'"
As a team, the Marlins were able to take care of business in their 10th shutout of the season.
By taking the first two, they guaranteed themselves of their first home, three-game series victory since taking two of three from Philadelphia on May 20-22. Miami did sweep a two-game set from the Rays on June 4-5.
Koehler worked out of jams in the first and sixth innings, and breezed in between.
Hamels, now 9-13 lifetime against the Marlins, worked five innings, allowing three runs on five hits.
"He was missing off the plate and threw a lot of pitches," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He wasn't the sharpest he's been."
Donovan Solano's RBI single with the bases loaded in the fourth inning gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead.
Miami padded its advantage to 3-0 with a two-run fifth inning. Christian Yelich walked and scored on Lucas' double to left-center. McGehee chipped in with an RBI double to deep left.
The double was McGehee's 100th hit of the season, which ties him for second in the National League.
Missed chances plagued both teams in the first inning.
The first frame lasted 32 minutes, and neither side could capitalize on golden chances. The Phillies stranded a second-and-third situation with one out, and the Marlins couldn't push across a run after loading the bases with one out.
In the first, Koehler threw 21 pitches and Hamels tallied 34.
"You don't want to give up runs in the first inning, it really puts the offense in a jam, and then you've got to do a lot, especially against a quality pitcher like Cole out there," Koehler told Fox Sports Florida shortly after he exited the game.
The Marlins were eventually able to wear Hamels down. The lefty had his shortest outing in 11 starts, since he threw 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Mets on April 29.
The Marlins look to complete a sweep on Thursday before they head to St. Louis to face the Cardinals on Friday.
"It's big for us to stay within striking distance and hopefully go into the All-Star break on a high note," McGehee said.

Questions about which stars can be seen in June and why June 21 is the first day of summer will be answered in the seasons final CU Wizard show, to be presented June 21 by astronomer Catharine Garmany at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The free public presentation of the popular science show geared to youngsters in grades 5 though 8 will be Saturday at 10 a.m. in Fiske Planetarium. The planetarium is on Regent Drive near Kittredge Loop Drive.
Garmany, director of Fiske Planetarium and Sommers-Bausch Observatory, will enlist the aid of Fritz, the planetariums star projector, in exploring the sky, phases of the moon and eclipses. She will take a short tour of the galaxy to see how new stars form, and perhaps catch the formation of a black hole.
CU Wizard shows patterned after the popular TV series are a 20-year tradition on the Boulder campus and one of the universitys most successful outreach programs.
Free parking will be available in lot 308 west of the Planetarium.
Anyone with a special need or disability should notify the physics department at (303) 492-6952 in advance of the show. Fiske Planetarium is wheelchair accessible through the main entrance.

Celebrating the fresh produce available at country roadside stands, this vegetable-filled burger is the perfect summer recipe.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 14 - 17 minutes Serves: 6
My family is of German descent and since the hamburger was originally made in Hamburg Germany, I thought I would combine some of my family's favorite flavors.
Tired of your favorite toppings squirting out of the bun and burger and into your lap?
A Southern imagination created this delicious burger temptation!
This burger gets its name from the tesxas toast bun and 2 kinds of melted cheese to add some flare!
This burger takes the flavor of the classic cobb salad and brings the ingredients to a burger.
True to the definition of Luau, this is truely a FEAST of a burger.
If Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie had offered General Santa Anna one of these burgers before the battle of the Alamo, Texas may be celebrating a different Independence Day!
this recipe uses some favorite flavors!
This is really a great tasting burger. The combination of caramelized maple, peppery horseradish, and smoky bacon is truly fantastic.
Hi, I am Lexi and I am a native of Philadelphia. I just recently moved to NC after completing my degree in Culinary Arts.
This burger came about while experimenting with several different ingredients including bacon, caramelized onions, and blue cheese to make a filling for an appetizer.
Layers of flavor. Delicious. Not your ordinary burger.

SHOTS were fired at a Wirral home in what police are treating as a "targeted attack" last night.
Merseyside Police are now investigating the incident in Upton Road, Prenton, which happened just after 10pm.
Patrols were called to the street, close to its junction with Noctorum Avenue, after a man wearing a crash helmet was seen getting out of a silver car and firing shots at the window of a property.
Upon arrival, officers found damage to the window of an upstairs flat consistent with a firearms discharge.
Police say no one was injured and the scene remains cordoned off for forensic examination work to be carried out.
A 26-year-old and an 18-year-old man from the Birkenhead area were arrested at the property on suspicion of obstruction and possession of a firearm without a certificate.
They were questioned by detectives and have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
A full investigation into the incident is on-going and house-to-house enquiries are being carried out.
CCTV from the area is also being checked.
Detective Inspector Ian Hussey said: "Our investigation is at an early stage and we are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry, one of which is that this was a targeted attack.
"I would urge anyone who saw people acting suspiciously in the area last night, or anyone with information about the incident, to get in touch with us."
Neighbourhood Inspector for Birkenhead, Duncan Swan, said: "High visibility patrols have been stepped up to reassure the community in Prenton and will remain so over the Easter period.
"Officers will also be dropping off letters with local people to appeal for information and I would ask them to call us if they know anything, no matter how trivial the information may seem."
Anyone with information should call the Matrix Serious and Organised Crime Team on 0800 230 0600 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - New research shows that the amount of TV children watch in their bedroom can have negative affects on their health.
So if you're thinking about buying your child a TV for their room this Christmas, that's a really bad idea, according to nutritionists.
Health experts say their concerns aren't necessarily what kids are watching on the TV, but the impact the TV could have on their health.
Many have heard the term "couch potato," and many people know, too much TV can lead to bad health habits for kids.
But new research now shows that the amount of time kids watch TV in their bedroom is directly related to more belly fat, heart disease and diabetes.
The study reveals that 70 percent of kids between the age of eight and 18 already have a television in their bedroom.
Being parked in front of the TV too long can lead to obesity, heart disease, diabetes and also sleep deprivation and anxiety.
On the flip side though, according to the study, outdoor activity increases a child's heart rate and ultimately, increases their developmental skills.
Researchers say too much TV also discourages family meal times.
Channel 4 spoke with parents who said this study makes sense.
"I feel as though TV does contribute to childhood obesity," mother Angela Patterson said. "Only because the hours of TV kids do watch, there is an inability for kids to move, or do anything physical."
The experts say newer technology like smart phones and computers also require a level of vigilance because food companies are marketing games and websites, designed to boost food consumption.

From the outside, the cottage nestled Thursday behind a neat front yard white picket fence at 318 Kentucky St. appeared to be an unassuming part of the neighborhood.
Not so, say those who know it best. It has habitually provided shelter for a string of illegal tenants, some rowdy and others quiet, neighbors say.
On Thursday, with the help of several police officers, the city took action to oust the home's tenants, in what may prove to be a model case for future illegal tenant or so-called squatter evictions, city officials said.
The home is now tagged "uninhabitable," with warnings that to re-enter the property is a misdemeanor offense, officials said.
"There have been a lot of different people living here - it's been some kind of transference from one squatter to another," said onlooking neighbor Tambi Talib. "(But now) all the demons are leaving."
It remained unclear Thursday whether the Kentucky house's residents, who were notified by the city more than two weeks ago that they would have to pay to have the water turned on or vacate the site, were illegal "squatters" or victim of a rental scam, officials said.
City officials were working to find shelter for one man at home at the time of the court-ordered property inspection Thursday morning, and a city-hired contractor was due to secure the property. Bank of America officials also changed door locks, officials said.
City Manager Dan Keen said the crackdown on the Kentucky Street home came after neighbors attending a Vallejo City Council meeting last month shared "terrible" stories of how the home's residents were "terrorizing" the neighborhood. The property's former owner, Todd Bishop. now a southern California resident, also spoke out at a meeting Tuesday. Bishop lost the home in 2010 when he filed for bankruptcy, however, his name remained on the deed -- making Bishop the target for angry neighbors, he said.
"It was an emergency situation that the city ignored," Bishop said in an interview of his eight months of work to draw the city's attention to the property. "It's too late for the neighbors. They've been put in danger."
Thursday's effort, which earned praise from several passing drivers and neighbors, drew together police, city attorneys, code enforcement, fire inspection and building officials.
"This is our first coordinated effort with the Neighborhood Law Program -- you're seeing really the first real fruits of that (program)," Keen said Thursday afternoon. "What you saw us do today is flex our muscles, but it's certainly not the last time. We're not letting these houses take over our city."
Keen acknowledged that Vallejo has a "long and growing list" of illegally occupied homes, in part due to a past lack of a coordinated response from the city to the issue, he said.
Moving forward, banks will be an important partner in resolving this issue, Keen said.
"(The banks) now have to follow through. We've done some of the dirty work, getting squatters out of the houses; it's up to the banks to sustain them," Keen said. "We wouldn't have this problem if we had better stewardship of these properties by these banks."

AN operation to track people suspected of sharing indecent images of children online has seen 10 people arrested in Worcestershire.
A total of 17 people were arrested by West Mercia Police officers, part of a total of 660 suspects detained and questioned during a secret national operation.
The UK-wide operation was co-ordinated by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and in recent months it has been sending intelligence to forces across England and Wales about suspected paedophiles in their areas using the web to view, or share indecent pictures.
Investigations were launched into each of these individuals and a succession of search warrants was executed at their home addresses.
The 17 suspects are now on police bail as further work is done to establish if they possessed indecent images of children and if they were sharing them with others via the internet.
Many of those arrested had some form of access to children and more than 400 children across the UK have been protected from harm, with 31 in the Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police area, the force said.
The arrests by area were in:
South Worcestershire: 4
North Worcestershire: 6
Herefordshire: 1
Shropshire: 3
Telford & Wrekin: 3
The operation was co-ordinated at a regional level with Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police working closely with Staffordshire Police and West Midlands Police.
Across the West Midlands region, 74 people were arrested and 44 children protected or safeguarded.
Detective Superintendent Steve Cullen, head of the Protecting Vulnerable People department for Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police, said: "This was is unprecedented, UK-wide operation that aimed to target those people using the internet to access indecent images of children.
"We want to protect children who are victims of, or might be at risk of, sexual exploitation.
"Children are victimised not only when they are abused and an image is first taken. They are victimised repeatedly every time that image is viewed.
"This is the first time we have been able to speak about the operation publicly because our priority has been to protect children, identify offenders and secure evidence.
"Over several months we worked closely with the national policing agencies, the other West Midlands forces and bodies such as local Children's Services and the Worcestershire-based child protection charity, the Lucy Faithfull Foundation.
"We have been able to identify victims and ensure they get the proper support and care.
"Child abusers need to know that the internet is not a safe space for them to operate. They leave a digital footprint and we will find it.
"We have worked closely with the NCA on other cases in recent months. This operation means we have arrested 37 people this year in the West Mercia area using their intelligence about online sharing of indecent images.
"The evidence indicates that the majority of these suspects were not previously known to law enforcement agencies, certainly in a child protection context. They are now, and they will stay in our sights.
"We still have a lot of work to do to assess what offences have been committed and, where we have sufficient evidence, to charge those we have arrested.
"I would like to take this opportunity to encourage anybody who suspects someone is exploiting children online please report it to the police immediately."
Chief Constable Simon Bailey, the National Policing Lead for Child Protection and Abuse Investigations, said: "Sexual abuse is a complex crime taking many forms. The vast majority of forces around England and Wales are dealing with an unprecedented increase in the number of reports of sexual abuse of children.
"Forces are investigating exploitation of children and young people by groups and gangs, non-recent abuse including large scale investigations into abuse in institutions over many years and sexual abuse by parents and family members.
"During this operation, we've targeted offenders accessing child abuse images. Police must continue to use a range of investigative techniques targeting all forms of abuse if we going to protect children and bring offenders to justice. Chief officers are committed to using all the tools available to them because nothing is more important in policing than protecting vulnerable people."
And Donald Findlater, director of research and development at the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and Stop it Now!, said: "The Stop it Now! child sexual abuse prevention helpline is taking an increasing number of calls from men who are concerned about their online behaviour as well as from their families and friends.
"Thousands of men have called following their arrest for possession of indecent images of children. Thousands of (mostly) women have called because of a partner's arrest, or simply because of a concern about their partner's sexual behaviour towards children.
"The Stop it Now! Helpline provides confidential advice, support and help to ensure that children are kept safe. This includes supporting those who have offended online to take responsibility for their abusive behaviour as well as supporting their family and friends to help manage future risk.
"However many are arrested for possession of indecent images of children, there are hundreds or thousands more who have viewed such images and have not yet been arrested. We urge all such men - young and old alike - to contact the helpline for help to stop their illegal and harmful behaviour."
Anyone with concerns about a child or young person, or if you are a child or young person and someone has asked you to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable, either on or offline, should contact police on 101.
You can also report through the CEOP safety centre at ceop.police.uk.
The Stop It Now! helpline can be reached on 0808 1000 900.

A teen charged with the recent shooting death of a Pontiac man has been arraigned in Oakland County Circuit Court.
Charona Williams, 18, stood mute in Judge Colleen O'Brien's courtroom Tuesday, and a not-guilty plea was entered on her behalf. The woman is charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery in the April 6 slaying of 29-year-old Rashone Daengelo Johnson.
In court, O'Brien denied bond for Williams. The 18-year-old is scheduled for an August 6 pretrial.
Williams' charges came to light following the early morning shooting of Johnson at a home on the 400 block of Central Avenue, near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Oakland County Sheriff's Office officials said.
When officials arrived, the Pontiac man was found unresponsive in the front yard. A blood trail led the deputies to the 400 block of Irwin, where the shooting is believed to have happened. Jonhson died, nearly an hour later, at McLaren Oakland hospital.
He had been shot in both of his legs at least one time.
WIlliams, who has a prior conviction for retail fraud, is not the only suspect in this case.
In early June, Rickey Leon Smith and Kelsey Daniels� both 21 and of Pontiac, were arrested in connection with Johnson's killing.
Both men are charged with felony murder, armed robbery and two counts each of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony and convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
Smith -- who is also the suspected gunman in three other shootings this spring -- was arrested in Warren, Ohio, on May 30 by an FBI task force, according to a press release from the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
He was recently arraigned in the 50th District Court and is being held without bond.
Daniels was carrying a loaded pistol when he was arrested in May by the Detroit Police Department, authorities said. He is being held at the Wayne County Jail.
Both men fled the area following the shooting and have prior criminal records, deputies reported upon their arrest.
Smith was convicted of obstructing police in 2009 and has a pending charge from earlier this year for carrying a concealed weapon and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Daniels was convicted as a juvenile for dangerous drugs and assault with a dangerous weapon and was convicted as an adult for carrying a concealed weapon in 2009 and 2011.

For the wind energy industry, 2012 has been filled with both exciting milestones and crushing policy uncertainty. Here are the NAW editors' picks for the top 10 wind energy stories of the year: 1. The looming expiration of the production tax credit (PTC). Perhaps no issue was of greater importance to the U.S. wind energy industry than the fate of the production tax credit (PTC) and its Dec. 31 expiration date. The $0.022/kWh incentive has been credited with spurring the growth of the wind energy industry over the past 20 years. Several PTC-extension proposals have been put forward – including a multiyear phase-out – but partisan gridlock has stalled their passage. A one-year extension of the PTC is currently included in a tax-extenders package passed by the Senate Finance Committee, but fiscal-cliff talks have taken precedence in Congress, and it is unclear whether the PTC and other tax extenders will be included in the wider discussion of the nation's broader economic issues.
2. Widespread industry layoffs. A widely cited Navigant Consulting study notes that 37,000 jobs will be lost if the PTC is not extended. However, the effects of the tax credit's looming expiration and the resulting market uncertainty have already reverberated throughout the U.S. wind energy supply chain. Doubts about policy have brought future wind development plans to a standstill and, in turn, snapped demand for wind turbine components. With the downturn in revenue came over 1,500 layoffs throughout the industry, including from big names like Vestas, Siemens, Gamesa and Iberdrola, but also from many smaller manufacturers and component suppliers that were forced to shut down production facilities and cut many of their staff.
3. November election. The tight race between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney was top of mind for the wind energy industry, as hopes were high that the winner would support favorable renewable energy policy and federal incentives for wind power. Obama made his support for wind energy and the PTC clear early on, while Romney was more equivocal about his stance. Meanwhile, several congressional races were also critical for renewable energy, including in Michigan, Iowa and Colorado. All in all, the election results bode well for wind energy, but many political challenges remain.
4. Record year for installations. With the PTC's uncertain future, wind developers moved heaven and earth to complete wind projects, such as Oregon's 845 MW Shepherds Flat wind farm and the Bishop Hill 1 wind farm, a 200 MW project located in Henry County, Ill. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), approximately 6 GW of new wind energy installations came online through October, and another 6 GW of projects were expected to be brought into service before the PTC's Dec. 31 expiration date. If that happens, EIA notes, 2012 would surpass the 2009 wind energy installation record, when 9.9 GW of wind capacity was installed.
5. Industry consolidation. Fueled by policy uncertainty, lowered demand led to several mergers and acquisitions in the wind power manufacturing and component sectors. In the tower space, reduced demand forced Otter Tail Power to sell Fargo, N.D.-based DMI Industries to Dallas-based rival Trinity Structural Towers, and in September, Katana Summit – also citing reduced demand caused by PTC uncertainty -Â said it would shutter operations if a buyer was not found. In November, Valmont Industries purchased the struggling manufacturer.
Consolidation was not limited to wind towers, however. Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, the parent company of construction services provider White Construction, itself an acquisition in 2011, bought out the assets of rival RMT. In addition, troubled turbine maker Clipper Windpower was divested by parent United Technologies Corp. and was sold to Los Angeles-based Platinum Equity Capital in August.
6. Federal agencies' investment in renewables. This year, the federal government was one of the biggest investors in renewable energy, including wind power. The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) said that each of its military branches would deploy 1 GW of renewable energy at or near its branches by 2025, and in August, the U.S. Army issued a $7 billion request for proposals for renewable energy projects. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded hundreds of millions of dollars to clean energy initiatives, including a $180 million allotment to offshore wind projects.
7. Offshore wind milestones. Whereas offshore wind development in the U.S. once seemed like a distant mirage, several achievements this year pushed it closer to reality. In March, the DOE announced it was spending $180 million on offshore wind power over the next six years and, in December, said it was investing $47 million in six offshore wind projects. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) was also very active in the early stages of offshore wind energy development. In December, BOEM announced it would hold the first-ever competitive sales for offshore wind development on the Outer Continental Shelf. The agency also issued several decisions of no competitive interest, including for the Atlantic Wind Connection, an offshore transmission system proposed for the Mid-Atlantic coast that would allow the integration of up to 7 GW of offshore wind energy onto the power grid; a transmission project proposed by Deepwater Wind that would deliver power from the developer's proposed Block Island Wind Farm; and a floating offshore wind project that Statoil is planning for an area off Maine's coast. The DOI also awarded NRG Bluewater an offshore wind lease in an area off the Delaware coast, and Cape Wind secured a second power purchase agreement for another 234 MW of the offshore wind project's output.
8. Attempts to weaken RPS mandates. Over the past year, several important wind energy states saw their renewable portfolio standard (RPS) programs come under increased scrutiny from legislators. States such as Kansas, Washington, Minnesota, Ohio and Maine witnessed attempts to ease, mitigate or weaken their RPS programs. In addition, on Election Day, Michigan voters roundly defeated a proposal to increase the state's RPS. And in Vermont, lawmakers plan to introduce a measure halting ridgeline development of wind farms for three years when the new legislative session begins Jan. 9.
9. Responsible siting. After nearly five years of collaboration, wildlife conservation organizations, Native American tribes, federal and state regulators, the wind industry, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) finalized voluntary land-based Wind Energy Guidelines in March 2012.
The program balances the responsible development of wind farms with mitigation of the impacts on wildlife. Data from more than 80 post-construction mortality studies puts the impact of wind energy at three birds per megawatt per year on average, which, at current installed levels, equates to roughly 140,000 birds per year – far below the hundreds of millions of avian fatalities resulting from collisions with buildings, domestic cats, and other human structures and activities, the FWS notes.
10. AWEA CEO's resignation. Denise Bode, CEO of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), unexpectedly resigned from the post on Dec. 17, effective at the end of the year. Her resignation came at a time of great uncertainty for the wind energy sector: two weeks before the expiration date of industry's key tax incentive. Bode, who took over for longtime AWEA President Randall Swisher on Jan. 1, 2009, presided over the industry during a period of extreme highs and lows. While the Sierra Club painted her as a 'skilled and fearless' leader, Bode often rankled the association's membership with her penchant for accentuating the positive, rather than addressing the challenges facing the industry.

text: Book details fall of Harman Mining and tactics of Massey Energy By Paul J. Nyden May 11, 2013 Story Share The Price of Justice: A True Story of Greed and Corruption. By Laurence Leamer. New York: Times Books/Henry Holt and Co., 433 pages. Hardcover, $30.If you go: Author Laurence Leamer, along with Mingo County native and Pittsburgh lawyer Bruce Stanley, will appear at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 18 at Taylor Books, 226 Capitol St., Charleston. They will attend another program and free reception at 6:30 p.m. at Chief Logan State Park near Logan.CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Appalachian coal miners have experienced increasing difficulties over the past 30 years: stagnating wages, lower pensions, reduced health benefits, dangerous working conditions and few new job opportunities.One major cause of those difficulties has been the efforts by A.T. Massey Coal, later renamed Massey Energy, and its president Don Blankenship to weaken the United Mine Workers and to take over or force out of business smaller coal companies, many of which were union operations. Massey's efforts began in the early 1980s at the Elk Run mine in Boone County and Rawl Sales in Mingo County.The tragic story of Hugh Caperton's Harman Mining and Sovereign Coal Sales in Grundy, Va., captures what has happened.It is among the troubling stories in the new book "The Price of Justice: A True Story of Greed and Corruption" by former New York Times reporter Laurence Leamer.Blankenship forced Caperton and Harman into bankruptcy back in 1998, prompting Caperton to file two lawsuits against Massey.Caperton won $6 million in the Buchanan County Circuit Court in Grundy, Va. in May 2001, a verdict limited to the "lost profits for 1998" suffered by Caperton after Massey bought United Coal in July 1997 and forced Caperton to close his mines. When the Virginia Supreme Court approved the verdict, it was worth $6.6 million with interest.Caperton and Harman filed a second lawsuit against Massey in Boone County, where its subsidiaries United Coal and Wellmore Coal were based. That case involved wider issues, focusing on Blankenship's efforts to force Caperton out of business permanently.Caperton and Harman won a $50 million verdict from a Boone County jury in 2002.But this case is still being fought, even after the West Virginia Supreme Court overturned the Boone County jury verdict -- now worth more than $75 million with interest -- three different times.Harman refiled the case in Virginia, and in April, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the Buchanan Circuit Court must hear it. While the West Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the case first filed in Boone County was too similar to the first suit, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the two cases have different content and raise different issues.Leamer tells the story of Pittsburgh lawyers Bruce Stanley, who grew up in Mingo County and worked as a newspaper reporter in Williamson before getting a law degree, and David B. Fawcett, whose father and grandfather were both lawyers. Both work for prominent Pittsburgh firms -- Stanley for ReedSmith and Fawcett for Buchanan Ingersoll. Fawcett and Stanley also previously represented clients in two other lawsuits against Blankenship and Massey.Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel hired Fawcett to sue Massey after it violated its 10-year contract to supply the company with high-quality metallurgical coal. Instead, Massey began selling its met coal to buyers willing to pay higher prices, exporting much of it to steel producers in foreign countries. After a four-month trial that ended in July 2007, Fawcett won $220 million in damages for Wheeling-Pitt. When the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Massey's appeal, Massey paid the troubled West Virginia steel company $267 million, including interest.Stanley sued Massey on behalf of the widows of two coal miners killed during a fire in its Aracoma mine in Logan County. Using government inspection reports and testimony from other miners, Stanley proved Massey had forced its Aracoma miners to work under unsafe conditions. The size of the settlements paid to the widows were never made public. In this book, Leamer recounts the collapse of Harman Mining.Hugh Caperton, a second cousin of former Gov. Gaston Caperton, bought the Harman Mine near Grundy, Va., in January 1993. The mining complex had operated since the 1930s, when it employed 1,000 miners. When Caperton re-opened it, he hired 125 union miners.The mine operated successfully, supplying coal to Wellmore Coal, a subsidiary of United Coal, based in Boone County. United sent most of Harman's high-quality metallurgical coal to LTV Corp. steel operations near Pittsburgh. Then, in July 1997, Massey bought United. In August, Wellmore told Caperton it would drop its coal purchases from a minimum of 573,000 tons required under Harman's 10-year contract with Wellmore, to 205,707 tons.The ensuing problems -- including private meetings when Caperton mistakenly revealed his difficulties and future mining plans to Blankenship -- ended up forcing Harman to declare bankruptcy in May 1998. "The Price of Justice" focuses many chapters on the West Virginia Supreme Court, especially on the opinions and rulings issued by Justices Robin Davis, Brent Benjamin and Elliott "Spike" Maynard. During the 2004 Supreme Court election, Blankenship contributed $3 million of his own money to buy television ads to help elect Brent Benjamin, a Republican, to a 12-year term. Benjamin ended up beating incumbent Warren McGraw, a Democrat.That 2004 election, Leamer writes, "was not about ideas, not good versus evil, not liberalism versus conservatism. It was about money and power. If Benjamin won the election, he would be beholden to Blankenship and his contributions. If McGraw won, he would be beholden to certain trial lawyers."When the "trial lawyers' organization filed its election report, it appears that two or three major donors may have given at least $500,000 apiece," Leamer states.After winning the 2004 election, Benjamin voted against Massey in several cases. But, Leamer points out, "his was not the crucial vote" in any of these cases. Benjamin voted for Massey in the Harman case, before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled he had to recuse himself because of the money Blankenship spent to elect him. The 2008 Supreme Court election saw new controversies, when Maynard was running for a second 12-year term.Maynard, a guaranteed vote for Blankenship and Massey, withdrew from sitting on the ongoing Caperton case after photographs were published showing him and Blankenship on vacation, with their girlfriends, along the French Riviera. Those photographs also played a role in Maynard's losing the Democratic primary."The Price of Justice" discusses ongoing contacts -- widely considered to be unethical -- between Maynard and Blankenship when the Boone County verdict was being appealed to the state Supreme Court.In November 2007, Charleston lawyer Scott Segal hosted a fundraiser at his home that raised more than $100,000 for Maynard. Segal is married to Robin Davis, another Supreme Court justice, who played a central role in the court's three votes against awarding damages to Caperton and Harman Mining. In the wake of the April 2010 explosion at Upper Big Branch Mine on the Raleigh-Boone County border that killed 29 miners, Blankenship resigned and Massey Energy was sold to Alpha Natural Resources in January 2011.Then Gov. Joe Manchin commissioned a study into the Upper Big Branch tragedy, chaired by J. Davitt McAteer, a former head of the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration.That report, Leamer writes, "spoke about the Massey culture, which, as Fawcett saw it, had bankrupted such companies as Harman and Wheeling-Pitt, destroyed the environment, and killed its own employees and neighbors."The report also criticized the political climate in West Virginia, detailing how it supported Massey's behavior and was complicit in the Upper Big Branch tragedy." Leamer will visit Southern West Virginia on Saturday, May 18, to talk about the book.Accompanied by Bruce Stanley, Leamer will speak at Taylor Books, at 226 Capitol Street in downtown Charleston, at 2 p.m. Leamer and Stanley will then visit Chief Logan State Park, four miles north of Logan, at 6:30 p. m., for another program and free reception.Reach Paul J.

MALTA -- A fire at Home of the Good Shepherd nursing home early Sunday morning displaced 32 residents from one wing of the facility, but no injuries were reported.
The fire occurred at about 1 a.m. Sunday, according to Malta Ridge Fire Chief Peter Shaw.
The fire originated in a second-floor laundry room, Shaw said, but the sprinkler system and alarm functioned properly and residents were quickly evacuated by staff.
"Everything went quite well," he said. "The staff were Johnny-on-the-spot as far as doing the job of evacuating residents."
A team investigated the cause of the fire Sunday, and all evidence seems to point to a malfunction of a dryer, Shaw said.
Firefighters were at the scene for several hours, "chasing down hotspots in the walls," he said.
Shaw described the damage to the building as moderate. A fire restoration company was called to the scene Sunday, he said.
Residents of the memory care unit, meanwhile, were moved to the county-owned nursing home, Maplewood Manor, where administrator Diane Brown said there was "plenty of space" to accommodate the displaced residents in a recently closed wing.
Maplewood Manor and Home of the Good Shepherd already had a transfer agreement in place, allowing a quick transfer of the residents to Maplewood in Ballston Spa.
"It worked out well that we had so much space and were able to take them all," Brown said.
Home of the Good Shepherd staff also made the move to Maplewood Manor to care for their residents while they are temporarily displaced.
"They can participate in our activities and we will make their time here as comfortable as possible until they can go home," she said.
