Morris espouses Internet opportunities
SAN ANTONIO {AP} Newspapers must make the most of online immediacy and space while serving as truth-seekers in the Internet age, William S. Morris III, chairman of the Newspaper Association of America, said Monday.

Fed raises interest rates for fifth time
WASHINGTON (AP) Expressing concern that inflation could spoil the country's good economic times, the Federal Reserve on Tuesday nudged interest rates up for the fifth time since last June.

Leach: So many ideas, all he needs is time
A fellow who worked alongside Mike Leach a few years ago called in December, thinking he'd help the Lubbock press corps get a handle on the new Texas Tech football coach. ''Good guy. You'll like working with him,'' the man on the other end said. ''You expect to look down some day and see him wearing socks that don't match, but he's a good guy.''
Pantex Contamination
IT IS DIFFICULT to believe that "there was no intent to cover up anything" in the U.S. Department of Energy's nine-month delay in reporting groundwater contamination caused by the use of Trichloroethylene at Pantex, the nation's primary assembly and disassembly plant near Amarillo.
Civic Center Bookings
THE COMPETITION THAT exists for booking the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center speaks well of the financial health of the facility. The 376 events at the Civic Center last year alone are proof that it is in demand and being used. However, while the numerous bookings look good on balance sheets, they bring about the inevitability that different organizations are going to seek to book Civic Center facilities on the same day.
Special Time At Tech
JOHN MONTFORD'S success as Texas Tech chancellor can hardly be overstated. The accomplishments during Mr. Montford's tenure are numerous and impressive in magnitude. To name a few: The university is moving toward achieving Tier I status as a research university; the initial Horizon Campaign fund-raising goal of $300 million was achieved and has been raised to a new goal of $500 million; the United Spirit Arena, the showcase of the Big 12 Conference, is reality; the Institute for Health and Environment, housed at the former Reese Air Force Base, has expanded more rapidly than even Tech anticipated. And the list goes on.

New 'Then Came You' fairly uneventful
It's not that "Then Came You" is so bad, it's just hard to care about a story that really doesn't want to go anywhere. Billie (Susan Floyd) is a bored 33-year-old book editor who marries and divorces her predictable lawyer boyfriend, Lewis (Colin Ferguson), by the time the credits stop rolling.
New Levinson-Fontana cop drama provides very few special moments
NEW YORK Style often overwhelms substance on "The Beat" (8 p.m., KUPT, TV-14), the new cop drama from Tom Fontana and Barry Levinson, the award-winning team behind "Homicide" and "Oz." "The Beat" follows the daily routine of NYPD officers Zane Marinelli (Mark Ruffalo) and Mike Dorigan (Derek Cecil). They're cute and quirky in a contemporary way. Together they look like two-fifths of a boy band. Call them the Beat Street Boys.

Montford University?
I must say how happy I am that Texas Tech is lucky enough to have found a man like his majesty, oh, excuse me, I mean Chancellor John Montford to steer the boat.
Enforce Death Penalty
It does amuse me that President Clinton thinks more gun control is needed. "The gun does not kill; the person pulling the trigger does." If we need to, let's put controls on knives, ax handles, grubbing hoe handles -- all of these things can kill as long as we have nuts out there to do this.
America's Oil Addiction
As gasoline prices skyrocket, oil companies look to fill the void left by OPEC's self-indulging exploitation of the law of supply and demand. Thus, once again the lobbyists are making the rounds to gain permission to drill in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- the last remaining 5 percent of the coastal plain protected from oil exploitation.

Census Clarification
Re: "Libertarians, other groups share distrust in providing census information," (A-J, 3-12): I wish to clarify that my opposition is not against the census itself. I support the census as it was originally intended, not as it has evolved as in today's intrusive list of questions. Specifically, the U.S. Constitution (Article 1, Section 2, paragraph 3) calls for an enumeration of "the whole number of persons in each state." The purpose of counting is to determine "Representatives and direct taxes" for apportionment "among the several states."
Dads Need AG Help
Re: " 'Deadbeats' Can't Pay" (A-J, 3-2). Why is it that every noncustodial parent is classified like this? I am specifically talking about the dads who pay their child support. Why can't the attorney general do something about the deadbeat moms who take and take all they can from us (dads) with the help of the attorney general's office? While they live off food stamps, and government housing assistance and don't want to make things better. Even if they (moms) have been sent to school and trained for jobs. Instead they sit at home and collect the rewards while we dads are forced into bankruptcy and can't pay our bills. While they (moms) do just fine. Why can't dads get help from the attorney general's office? When we need to talk to someone there, it's like trying to tackle a bear, with no remorse or consideration for us dads who pay child support. The people at the attorney general's office are rude and inconsiderate and talk to us like we are worthless and useless. We pay our child support every month and always are asked for more. How are we supposed to live and make ends meet? We have to support ourselves, our children and having to support our ex-wives, too.

We need to create a law making it illegal to talk on the phone while driving. I recently took defensive driving class and found out when a driver is using a hand-held mobile phone his/her driving skills are equivalent to a person with 1.0 blood alcohol level. A driver using a hands-free phone has the driving skills of a person with .5 blood alcohol level. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found using a cell phone while driving quadruples the risk of an accident. The study maintains hands-free phones do little to lessen the chances of an accident.

What the parents say...
My 4 year old daughter has been Auckland College Pre-prep only since March 15 but her writing, reading and math improved extremely. She looks forward to going to school every day and I can see why. Every Wednesday spelling test, every Thursday show and tell also art, cooking, painting, planting and dancing. They really pay attention to the kids and what they want/need. The teachers have always been super nice and helpful. In her pervious school she was learning French for seven months but I did not hear any French words from her. My four year old was teaching me the animals in Spanish last week! She loves doing homework and very confident at reading now. This is all down to Auckland College Pre-prep who have brought on my child's development by leaps and bounds. The staff are lovely and approachable. I am so relaxed whilst working knowing she is at a fantastic place. I would recommend this preschool 100%, it was the best decision to send her to Auckland College. Thank you to all the staff. I would recommend Auckland College Pre-prep to everyone who has a child!!! STAFF ARE GREAT

I'm a mother, art teacher in a high school and univesity student at the same time, so I was looking for a bag to hold my laptop, books, kidoos stuff and my own personal things, I use to wear big hand bags but I wasn't totally confortable, many times I thought about a backpack but couln't find a stylish and sporty at one time. When I saw Kankens I new that it was what i looking for in terms of desing, but now that I have it I know that it is what I was looking for in terms of confortability. The only promblem is that I want it in all the range colors, they're all beautiful! Now, I'm thinking about buy one for my kid, we're deciding the color.

Pumpkin pie time, perhaps?
Photo provided by HPA
"The Great Pumpkin," the fall star of the Hawaii Preparatory Academy Village Campus Ulumau Garden, recently made appearances at the annual Taste of the Hawaiian Range and at the Parker School Farmers Market, where the 636-pound mid-Pacific example of Cucurbita maxima took top honors. The winning pumpkin also will make an appearance at HPA's Pumpkin Patch on Sunday. Imua Landscaping has donated the use of a forklift to transport the pumpkin on its promotional tour. The second-place entry in the recent annual Waimea pumpkin-growing competition, while impressive in its own right, weighed in at under 200 pounds. HPA officials congratulate Noah Dodd, the HPA organic garden coordinator and certified garden teacher.

This Bible History Daily feature was originally published in 2013. It has been updated.—Ed.
Paul's first missionary journey took him from Cyprus into the heart of Anatolia. Why did Paul and Barnabas choose the treacherous path through Perga to Pisidian Antioch? In "Why Perga? Paul's Perilous Passage through Pisidia" in the November/December 2013 issue of BAR, Mark R. Fairchild explores archaeological evidence of the likely presence of Jewish communities on the way.
Take a closer look at Paul's first missionary journey through Turkey in this web-exclusive slideshow of photographs by BAR author Mark R. Fairchild.

After sailing from Cyprus to the Turkish coast, Paul and Barnabas visit the city of Perga before traveling to Pisidian Antioch and other cities on the Anatolian interior. When they head back to the coast, the travelers follow the same route. Why did they choose such a treacherous route for Paul's first missionary journey? Mark R. Fairchild explores unexcavated sites along the Kestros River Valley, exposing evidence of Jewish populations en route. Acts indicates that Paul deliberately traveled to cities with Jewish populations. Perga was a major city, and the presence of a Jewish community there made it an ideal base for Paul's first missionary journey through Anatolia. Fairchild argues that Paul and Barnabas could have taken an easy but roundabout path along established Roman roads, but opted to travel along the rugged Kestros Valley because of the hospitality of local Jewish communities.

Do These Women Look Like Plus-Size Models To You?
Meet the new faces of "plus-sized" modeling. This week Ford Modeling Agency unveiled Ford+ Models, its new division of plus-sized models meant to turn the industry on its head. According to the agency, Ford+ models range in size from 8 to 18, and are an attempt to widen the playing field of what it means to be beautiful. After all, when models like Lara Stone (who is a size 4) are considered "too fat" to be real models, it's clear that the modeling industry's notions of beauty have grown very, very narrow. Said Gary Dakin, who's running Ford's plus division: "There are better clients, jobs, photographers, rates, etc.," for plus-sized models. "The girls have evolved too … they are challenged now more than ever to be better and they challenge the industry right back."
Except for one small thing: do any of these women look plus-sized to you? We're hesitant to rally behind Dakin and Ford's initiative because it seems that Ford+ isn't really championing plus-sized models. Instead, they're simply sliding the scale so that normal, healthy women are now deemed plus-sized. We've long understood that the fashion industry has a skewed approach to weight, body shape and health, but it seems rather glib — even for the industry — to refer to a size 8 woman as plus-size when the average American woman is a size 14.
But really, maybe it's the term plus-sized that's the problem. It gives a strangely perjorative bent to a woman's form. As though a woman who is heavier is somehow "more than" what she should be. As though there is a starting point of normal that we're all set to, and when we veer off that so-called "normal" path, we become uncontainable and outsized. After all, there's no terminology for the terminally underweight — the model class among us — though those bodies come with their own set of health problems. Instead, model forms are lauded and applauded. And plus-sized women, of which approximately 90 percent of us would probably fit — according to Ford+'s definition — are simply told we're too much.

Make-believe Election Victory
Were Yacimovich and Lapid to speak out now - yes, now, before the election - about the dangers of the occupation, they might lose a few votes, but they would be fulfilling a historic task.
It's the same old song: The make-believe left masquerades as the make-believe right in order to obtain a make-believe election victory. The editor-in-chief...

A panel of presidents of four major New York houses pronounced the book industry "healthy," while a Forrester Research analyst predicted there will likely be nearly 60 million tablet computers sold by 2015. These and other prognostications came during Untethered 2010, a debut digital conference organized by Slate's financial blog The Big Money, held at the McGraw-Hill Auditorium in Manhattan on June 17.
Projections from Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps and the publishing presidents panel generated the most buzz. Epps outlined a marketplace that has embraced iPad, calling it a "new kind of PC" that was replacing laptops and desktops in the home and was attractive to advertisers. Epps outlined a digital future that will be app-centric and multiplatform and said, "No one device will win out overall." She projected that 59 million tablet computers will likely be sold into the U.S. market by 2015 and they would outnumber notebooks and dedicated e-readers by 2012.
The publishing panel featured the presidents of McGraw-Hill Education, HarperCollins, S&S, and Perseus, who all seemed in agreement with S&S president Carolyn Reidy, who said that while "digital will change the shape and the form of books, our business model is healthy." And except for McGraw-Hill, which has not made the change, there was similar agreement about the switch to the agency model. "It's exciting," said Perseus's David Steinberger. "We're not locked into an arbitrary low-cost price for e-books and it's showing that people will pay for digital content on mobile devices."
Device Projections by 2010
160 million desktop computers
150 million laptops
120 million smartphones
59 million tablets
25 million dedicated e-readers

* Prices may differ from that shown
One of the bug bears I have in my car is the lack of decent radio stations to listen to on the move. I have had mixed results from using F.M transmitters in my car so using my Ipod has rapidly become more of a mission than it needs to be. Transmitters in the past I have used have suffered from bad reception, over-use of batteries or just cutting out at inopportune moments so when a friend recommended this product to me, I admit I was initially sceptical until he mentioned the fact that its main function is as a DAB reciever!
As many of you must know, DAB offers a much wider range of radio stations than traditional FM or AM frequencies with specialist stations aimed solely at those who for example only like Jazz, only like Rock or maybe just want to listen to Eighties music all day long. There is no interference, no crackling, no static and the ability to transfer this experience to your car has long been a market that many brands have been fighting over to crack!
PURE are an established company who have proved themselves reliable in the past with their range of more conventional DAB radios, Ipod docking stations etc...so straight away purchasing this, you know you are buying into a brand you can rely on. This DAB transmitter works directly with your existing in-car radio and sends its signal to a free F.M frequency not currently being used in the same way that other F.M transmitters work but also gives the user the ability to pause and rewind Live Digital Radio broadcasts. You can also play your Ipod/ generic MP3 player through it thus giving you even more options should you want to listen to something other than the radio.....
A Quickscan mode automatically scans for the next free F.M frequency so this is another thing that works in its favour, saving you the hassle of trying to find a free signal. Two AA batteries give this up to 7 hours of power but there is also the option to purchase seperately an adaptor to plug this into your cigarette lighter at minimum cost.
It also can be attached and mounted to the windscreen much like most Sat Nav systems. And this is the only way in which this product falls down in that it could be a bit much to have both this and your Sat-Nav there on your windscreen to the point that it could cause a visual obstruction. But, on the other hand, PURE do offer the option to add new features as they become available via USB so this is yet another thing that works in its favour. And all in all, it is this reviewers honest opinion that, with this product, the positives far outweigh the negatives!
Easy to install, easy to set-up, this is a low-cost option to get DAB quality radio inside your car that avoids having to buy a whole new DAB-friendly car audio system. At around £75, it is certainly cheaper than most other DAB options for your car and of course you can install this yourself in minutes, thus eliminating the need to pay someone else to fit it for you! In fact, using this product could not be simpler and even a complete idiot could fit and use this with minimum fuss or bother!
Overall, this is a good quality product at a reasonable price that I cannot recommend highly enough. If you don't already have DAB in your car, then this is exactly what you are looking for!

This is one of the finest photos ever taken by my FATHER, though I'm not sure he knows it.
This portrait of my sister hangs framed in the hallway of my home in Ireland and mesmerises every time I pass it.
I may be biased of course, because I think my sister's beautiful but I think I'm on safe (as opposed to shaky) ground, there.
I was thrilled last night when I found the negative as I was scanning old photos and painstakingly
tried to recreate how that framed portrait looks - at least in my memory, as I can't pop home to check.
The 'shakey bridge' (or Daily's Bridge to give it its proper name) overlooks the pleasant River Lee as
it courses into the City of Cork, and overlooks Fitzgerald's Park, a haunt of my childhood.
It's the birthright of all Corkonian children to run along this dodgy suspension footbridge and stamp on it gleefully 'til the rivets creak.

Twelve certified gambling treatment programs in the state receive that money from the state Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. The amount was set when casino gambling in Oklahoma began in 2004.
While such treatment programs receive additional funds from anonymous donors and grants from some American Indian tribes that run the casinos, the money is supposed to provide help for an estimated 100,000 problem gamblers. That amounts to $7.50 per problem gambler annually — less than the average cost of two boxes of Girl Scout cookies — to treat gambling addiction, as well as the training of counselors and community outreach by the treatment centers.
With 117 casinos in Oklahoma, Indian gaming in the state earned $2.9 billion in fiscal year 2010 and $3.23 billion in fiscal year 2011. Nevertheless, the 2004 compact agreements signed by the state and the tribes provide just $250,000 annually through 2019 for treatment of gambling addiction. The other $500,000 earmarked for yearly treatment comes from the Oklahoma State Lottery.
And that's caused a headache for those who provide the counseling. Karen Cathey, executive director of A Chance to Change Foundation, said her organization provided services to problem gamblers in fiscal year 2012 that exceeded its Department of Mental Health contract by 35 percent. She said A Chance to Change last year saw a 53-percent increase in services to problem gamblers than the year before.
"The money that we get from the Department of Mental Health doesn't cover all the services we could provide," she said.
Lack of foresight
Wiley Harwell, executive director of the Oklahoma Association for Problem and Compulsive Gambling, said no one anticipated the state's booming growth of gaming when the tribes' share of the gambling treatment funds was agreed upon.
"That's not an accusation on any one's part, and this isn't the tribes' fault. This is the way the legislation set it up in the very beginning of the compact agreements," he said. "Nobody imagined
we'd be where we are today. They thought there'd be a handful of
In fact, Harwell said Oklahoma has the country's third-largest number of slot machines, located everywhere from gas stations and smoke shops to the second-largest gaming floor in the country at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville.
But requests for additional funding to treat problem gambling are hampered because treatment centers are barred from keeping waiting lists of those seeking help.
"The dilemma is, since we only have 'x' amount of dollars for treatment and every bit of that gets used every year, how do we have the statistics to prove we need more money when we use exactly what we have and they're not allowed to keep waiting lists?" Harwell said. "It's hard to justify without hard numbers that we need more money."
Moreover, he said the estimate of 100,000 problem or addicted gamblers in Oklahoma is conservative. The figure is based on a 1999 national survey that reported 1.5 percent of the population are pathological gamblers at any one time. The percentage doubles if susceptible individuals live within 50 miles of a casino.
"The vast majority of the population of Oklahoma lives within 50 miles of a casino," said Harwell.
Other funds
Some tribes make direct donations to Harwell's organization while others contribute a percentage of money collected when problem gamblers sign self-exclusion agreements with some of the tribes.
"If a casino patron self-excludes themselves from a casino but they go back in and win anyway, [the casinos] check them compared to this self-exclusion list, and then [the patrons] don't get that money," he said.
Harwell's group is administering a statewide self-exclusion list, which has the participation of 17 tribes and allows gamblers to self-exclude at casinos run by those tribes.
Because gambling can create an actual physical craving akin to substance abuse, Harwell said he anticipates the inclusion of gambling addiction in the upcoming edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
"Gambling enhances serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine levels of the brain," he said. "So then if you're not able to gamble, or if you're trying to cut back your gambling, you have withdrawal symptoms of agitation and irritability because your body is literally saying, 'Hey, where are my levels of excitement? Where's my serotonin? Where's my norepinephrine and my dopamine?'"

A Licking County family is homeless after a morning fire.
It happened just before 8 a.m. at 402 Doris Road.
The West Licking Joint Fire District says when it arrived at the scene, it found a large volume of smoke coming from the home.
No one was home at the time of the fire, but it is considered a total loss.
The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental but remains under investigation. Batallian Chief, Brad Williams, says the source of the fire was traced to an air freshener that was plugged into an electrical outlet. He says investigators are checking in to see if that air freshener was part of a recall.
The Red Cross is offering assistant to the homeowners, Daniel Clark and Tanya DeVito along with their five children.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Renea B.
Review for First Book, Washington, DC, USA
My name is Renea Boren. I have been a librarian for 14 years. I learned about First Book last year, it was easy to apply. We learned in July that Sunny Brae Elementary School would receive over 10,000 books! When the students returned in September, to their surprise, they were each given 3 to 5 books so they could start a home library. At Sunny Brae we service about 700 children Pre-K through 5th grade. We are a 100% Title 1 school. First Book is a wonderful resource for children that have probably never had a new book that was theirs to keep. First Book has now given our students more than 15,000 new books. Last year our students read over 30,000,000 words (as tested by the Accelerated Reader program), that is 20,000,000 more than the year before. First Book has made a huge difference in these children's lives. The excitement on a child's face when they receive a new book is one of the most wonderful sights you will ever see.

(MOORESVILLE, N.C. - January 15, 2013) - Spraker Racing Enterprises is pleased to announce that Mountain Dew will proudly be on board the 08 Ford Fusion driven by Martinsville, Virginia's Clay Campbell in selected ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards events in 2013.
"We are extremely proud to have the Mountain Dew brand on board with Clay at the wheel of our cars in 2013," Jeff Spraker said.
The team's first outing for 2013 will be the 50th annual Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAVTV American Real at Daytona Int'l Speedway.
"Clay ran Talladega with us last year and did a great job."
The team tested at Daytona in December, ending up sixth fastest overall among the 60-plus drivers that were there. The Spraker Racing Roush-Yates powered Fusion was the fastest Ford at the test.
"Mountain Dew is proud to sponsor Clay Campbell in the number 08 Spraker Racing Ford Fusion for 2013 season," said Greg Sterling, Vice President of field marketing for Pepsico.
"It is a great fit and partnership for the Dew Brand. This marks our second year with Clay and Spraker Racing and we are thrilled to be a part of their racing family. We look forward to an exciting racing season and seeing the Dew car in victory lane."
Campbell, when he's not strapped inside a racecar, is the President of Martinsville Speedway.
"Daytona is a very prestigious speedway and I look forward to have Mountain Dew join us for my first outing there," Campbell said. "We have a great sponsor with a strong team of experience. We are looking forward to the opportunity to run up front. Daytona is very important to Jeff, and I and we want nothing more than to have a shot at a win."
The Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAVTV American Real will get the green flag on February 16th and will be televised live on SPEED. The race will precede the same-night NASCAR Sprint Unlimited.
