Dad on the run.
The "Penguin" daily threads were originally conceived to emphasize that all members of the community have a place on the boards. Encouragement, motivation, a little love nip (you will love one, give it a try!) or even a little kick in the pants when needed -- it can happen here.
Basically, we celebrate just getting out there and moving our tails!What is "slow"? "Slow" is a perception but one of the common benchmarks is the 10:00/mi pace; but there's no firm line. In fact, there are many of us that have slipped past this, and just hope that no one notices and revokes their "igloo privileges."
It can be confusing for the forum newbies, but we're not one of the teams in any of the fine games. It's a totally open group, so stop lurking, post an introduction of yourself dive in and join the fun! No application necessary! There might even be a lovely picture for Scotty (we love pics!)
My parents said I could be anything when I grew up, so I decided to be Awesome!
Didn't get my 5 in last night so I pulled myself out of bed and did 5 @ 5
10:09, 9:59, 9:45, 9:39, 9:17
Don't care much for that 10m/m pace for the first mile but at least I pulled off negatives...
Can't wait for the weekend. Really excited about watching the cross country race tomorrow!

Short run planned after our health club workouts. Park District for me, Curves for DW. DD1 en route home from honeymoon...yay !!!!
Had to do 4 easy indoors on the TM this morning. There was a lot of water falling from the sky. I forget what it's called it's been so long.
Bad Ass
Morning! First run done (10 miles). More tonight as well as a run with hubby.
"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire."
It's always fucking hot in Miami!
From the Internet.
Morning pens!
2.66 miles last night, at work now, off to the gym in a few mintues to attempt 1/2 mile on the treadmill (but I might just walk since I ran 14 hours ago) and lift some weights.. and jump in the pool for some water running intervals.. I think I need to plan my weekly workouts better so I'm not trying to cram everything in at once on Friday. Oh well.
Kristin I feel nauseous just thinking about running after sushi D:
Happy birthday Damaris!Have a good day everyone!
I blog now. It's still a work in progress.
Morning, pens! Yesterday I was on my last personal when my browser crashed and lost my post, and I couldn't bring myself to come back and type. I ran for the first time this week, though! I had a good time at the social run. Today I am going to do my LR after work before I pick up my daughter. I did it last week, and it worked pretty well. I like not having that to worry about on the weekend.
Jimmy- Glad you're getting back out there! I hope that you're keeping most of your runs at an "easy" pace!
Damaris- Happy birthday! You are catching up to me.
Jerry- Have a good run! Sounds like DD21 lives nearby?
Bin- Have fun this weekend!
kristin- Sounds like good advice.
PAD- You could come out to Oregon and get to know all about water falling from the sky!
Lauren- I think the 1/2 mile on the TM plan you posted yesterday sounds like a good one!
Barking Mad To Run
Went out after work yesterday into the 93 degree weather, 58% humidity and 73 dew point and did 3.3 miles of hills. Not quite as warm as Damaris' weather in Miami, but still pretty warm, and the air was pretty thick as there were thunderstorms threatening. It is raining right now, as a matter of fact, coming down really good, and supposed to do this all day and all night. We will probably get some flooding in places. Anyway, I did my running segments very well, and my main goal for this run was to get up Zoo Hill nonstop - a fairly steep hill that is long too, about a half-mile long - and I did exactly that, got up that sucker in good order. Nice reward at the top with a lovely view looking down at the Zoo's Japanese Tea Gardens. Two more hills near Trinity University and then it was flat the rest of the way back to the YMCA. Very nice run/walk, felt strong the whole way. Today is a rest day and I will pick up my packet after work for Sunday's 5K. Tomorrow I drive to Austin - weather permitting and if the roads are not flooded - for the CASA Superhero 5K, a fun one I do every year, with lots of folks wearing all kinds of costumes, some of them are really quite imaginative! LOTS of photos for this report!
Holidays for Sep 20th are:
Punch Day
Tradesmen Day
Farm Safety Day
Chicken Dance Day, oh yeah! Especially celebrated in Cincinnati. On September 20, 1994, the Crown Prince of Bavaria visited Cincinnati and participated in an Oktoberfest Zinzinnati celebration that included the world's largest chicken dance. With 40,000 people joining in the activity, the event was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.
And this weekend is "Clean Up the World" weekend
And Sep 22 - in celebration of one of our own forum folks - is Hobbit Day!
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." Theodore Roosevelt
What is the definition of easy?
Jimmy- Glad you're getting back out there! I hope that you're keeping most of your runs at an "easy" pace!
Zelanie - That just sounds disgusting. I love sushi, but I could never imagine running afterwards. BLEH!
Not sure why, but I was half asleep on my way to work, now I'm here and I'm wired for sound! Maybe its the after effect of the run?
Singer who doesn't run.
Morning, Penguins!! I am so glad it's Friday!!! I don't have anything crazy going on at work today, but we do have faculty photos scheduled, so I had to dress up. I'm even (gasp) wearing earrings!! And I brought makeup, though I won't bother putting it on until I'm ready to head over for pics. Woo-hoo!!jblack -- woo-hoo for your 5@5!!Ooh, it's Docket's birthday?? Happy birthday!!!Jerryb -- good morning!!Bin -- I'm not really into F1. DH watches Nascar, though.kristin -- sounds like a story there, and not a good one!!PAD -- that's called snow, right? Woo-hoo for your indoor 4!!And the birthday girl herself -- woo-hoo for your 10 done, and good luck on the rest!!Lauren -- sounds like a really busy evening!!Zelanie -- good luck with your long run!!scottydawg -- hooray for conquering the hills!!
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.
Happy B'day D!!
Thanks, guys!

Hatsan .25 cal. Edge
November 7, 2016
Won't gush over the rifle or praise it, either way. With a Leapers offset scope mount and upgrade air gun scope, it shreds soup cans at 30 yards. Feels like it may shake itself apart due to recoil from the spring action. Loctite every visible fastener. Not sure the scope stop screws and scope mount stop pin will endure long before being sheered off, will see. 100 rounds thus far and holding together. The 3-12x40 Barska air gun scope with Leapers offset mount may be too heavy for this rifle and aide in attachment failure. The Vortex power plant may have been the better choice here, time will tell.
Pros:Inexpensive on initial purchase.
Cons:Lots of rough edges on this one.

Striker edge in .25
March 30, 2014
I had to comment after I read another persons comment on this gun. I rate this gun a five star gun at the least. For the money you are not going to find a better gun. The other commentator mentioned this is not a good gun for hunting. I have real world experience that this gun performs. I bought this gun for a friend at the same time that I bought the 125 sniper in .25. I thought I would really outshine my friend when we do our annual gopher hunt. We shoot at distances that often times can exceed 50 yards. No kidding that both these guns would provide sufficient killing power for great distances. Unless you go pcp, I don't see how anybody is going to compete with the Hatsan guns especially when you are talking about this price point. Not to berate this other shooter, but I would say you don't know what you are doing and need more practice.
Pros:Price, power
Cons:I can't name one. Perhaps a little better scope and just increase the price.

The gun is built like a tank very well done. Cheap price good build. but the real world comes in. at ten yards its a hammer. at twenty it just wont hunt. if you want a hot on paper puncher this is the gun for you . if you hunt this aint the one to buy.
Pros:good build good fit ez to tune very smooth shooting
Cons:LOW power deeply disappointing . should not be made in 25 cal.

State amateur baseball: Brandon-Evansville suffers season-ending loss
An 8-5 loss to Raymond ended state tournament play for the Region 16C champion Brandon-Evansville Bluedogs during the single elimination stage of the Class C tournament at Brownton last Saturday.
The Bluedogs, after trailing 2-0 early, put together a five-run bottom of the sixth to take the lead as Nate Meissner opened with a single to center field and moved to second on a single to left by Lee Nelson.
A double by Ryan Hendricks, who went three for four on the day, drove in Meissner for Brandon-Evansville's first run of the game. Monte Hinzmann put the Bluedogs ahead on a single that allowed Nelson and Hendrickson to cross the plate, with Hinzmann moving to second on the throw during that play.
Theodore Wood came in to pinch run for Hinzmann and quickly found his way to third on a sacrifice off the bat of Brent Meissner. A walk to Travis Santjer and a sacrifice ground out by Matt Bruns brought home Woods.
It was then Josh Meissner's turn to add to the lead as he singled to right field to plate Matt Kruize, pinch-running for Santjer, for the final score of the frame.
That lead did not hold up for long, however, as Raymond started a rally, scoring a run and knocking starter Jake Lund from the mound with one out and bases loaded.
Reliever Collin Modahl looked to have the game under control as the Bluedogs threw out a Rocket runner at the plate for the second out, but things spiraled out of control as Raymond scored on a wild pitch, a hit batsman and a two-RBI single.
Raymond added an insurance run in the top of the ninth off closer Ryan Hendrickson, ending Brandon-Evansville's state tourney run.
Modahl took the pitching loss as he allowed three hits and one run in his one inning on the mound.
Hendrickson had three hits in the game, scoring once and driving home one run, while Hinzmann had two hits and two RBIs.
PITCHING (ip-h-r-er-bb-so) - Jake Lund 6.1-6-6-5-6-5; Collin Modahl (L) 1-3-1-1-0-0; Ryan Hendrickson 1.2-1-1-0-1.
HITTING - Chris Shea 1-5; Nate Meissner 1-4, 1 run; Lee Nelson 1-5, 1 run; Ryan Hendrickson 3-4, 1 run, 1 rbi; Monte Hinzmann 2-3, 2 rbi; Theodore Wood 1 run; Matt Kruize 1 run; Matt Bruns 1 rbi; Josh Meissner 1-4, 1 rbi.

This page is dedicated George Cordeaux Coates.
George Cordeaux Coates married Zillah Edmonds in 1886 in Leven, East Yorksire. They adopted William Mortimer Coates (born as Hampshire). William Hampshire's natural mother was Alice Edmonds (Zillah's younger sister) and his natural father was George Hampshire.
Although not strictly part of our blood line it would be remiss to omit his contribution to our family.

Welwick is 2 miles SE of Partington (between Hull and Spurn Point).
There are differences as to the spelling of Cordox. George C. Coates has Cordeaux. The monument inscriptions in Leven have Cordukes.
Sarah Ann Cordox and her parents were living in Leven from at least 1841.
Sarah Ann (Cordox) Coates was still alive in 1901 and had been living since at least 1871 as an annuitant. Her husband probably died about 1871 as Sarah gave birth to a daughter about this time and she is listed as a widow in the 1871 census.
Robert and Sarah Ann also had 2 daughters Francis Hannah (b 1860, Sutton) and Edith Marion (b 1871, Hull) and a son William (1857 Sutton).
George Cordox (2nd) and Hannah also had 3 sons (George; and William Fox / Edward Fox (twins)); all apparently taking the name Cordukes. William Fox Cordukes died at 28 in Leven.

Sally Jewell is environmentalist, business exec
She is as well known for her efforts with nonprofits that promote environmental health as she is for her role as president and CEO of Recreational Equipment Inc. REI, based in Kent, Wash., is a retailer with $2 billion a year in sales of outdoor gear and clothing for camping, hiking, biking and canoeing. The 56-year-old Great Britain native started her career as an oil industry engineer and has a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington. She is married to Warren Jewell and they have two adult children. But it is her reputation and award-winning work in the environmental conservation movement that may be more well known than her business acumen and executive leadership skills. She has won numerous environmental awards, including the 2009 Rachel Carson Award for Environmental Conservation from the Audubon Society, in addition to her work with Obama's "America's Great Outdoors Initiative," launched in 2011, according to her biography provided by REI. Last year, she received the Award for Public Service from the Woodrow Wilson Center and was a named a 2012 Woman of Distinction by the Girl Scouts of Western Washington. And in 2009, she participated in a White House meeting on health care reform, discussing REI's health benefits program. She also is a board member of several nonprofit environmental groups, including the National Parks Conservation Association. According to REI's website, the company donates millions of dollars a year toward conservation efforts across the country. Several groups from the retail and energy industries have expressed support for Jewell's Cabinet nomination, such as the Retail Industry Leaders Association, where Jewell serves on the board of directors, and Western Energy Alliance, a nonprofit trade association of oil and natural gas companies. "We hope to see a better balance of productive development on non-park, non-wilderness public lands that enhances the wealth of America and creates jobs while protecting the environment," Western Energy Alliance President Tim Wigley said...more

"Every year students come to my classroom putting their trust in me. In return, I must accept each of my students in all their uniqueness as well. I must effectively plan and model what it is that I want them to learn. I must accept that responsibility seriously. Each day, each lesson must be precisely and carefully thought through. Students deserve an education that is engaging and stimulating. I must remain an active partner with each student in ensure that learning takes place. I believe all students can learn. Varying methods and different approaches bring about effective teaching and learning…It is my goal that I truly come into each of their lives and in some small way leave a footprint on their hearts. I take from each one of my students something that will leave their footprints on my heart to make me a teacher better able to understand and educate the students that will follow in their footsteps."

What People Say
A current student of Mrs. Ewing said, "I am a fourth-grade student in Mrs. Ewing's class. I think Mrs. Ewing is a good choice for Master Teacher because she works so hard at her job. She explains new things well and helps us do better in school…She knows when we aren't doing our best or when we aren't trying. I really enjoy being in Mrs. Ewing's classroom this year because in addition to learning a lot, we do fun activities like Children's Reader's Theater, stories, and multiplication-facts Memory."
"When I think of Mrs. Ewing the first thing that comes to mind is her caring and kind heart. She is making a difference in the lives of young people through her dedication to teaching and the example of her life. What possible greater contribution can a person make?" Mike Gripe, a parent of one of Mrs. Ewing's students, concludes his letter of recommendation with, "It is without reservation that I recommend Mrs. Karla Ewing for Kansas Master Teacher."

Earbaneanwrote a review of Patagonia R.5 Top - Men's on August 10, 2006
Versatile light top
Great light weight top. Ideal for loads of different uses. I have a black and a deep blue. Interestingly, the black is a lighter weight material than the deep blue. If you want something roughly similar in weight to a 100g fleece, then go for the deep blue. If you want something a bit lighter and more of a base layer, then go for the black. Also, the R.5 is a slightly looser fit that the other Patagonia tops of the same size that I have purchased (R1 top, R1.5 jacket, MW Capilene Zip Tee).

DDR2 is still running strong
Subject: Memory | May 8, 2008 - 03:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Thanks to ever increasing clock rates, and lower latencies than DDR3; DDR2 is still going strong. One of your newest choices is the Kingston HyperX 2GB PC2-9200 kit a pair of 1Gb DIMMs. The default clock speed of 1150MHz is strange, but hitting 1200MHz is awfully easy, as you can see at Big Bruin.
"Getting the Kingston HyperX 2GB PC2-9200 DDR2 memory kit up to the stock speed of 1150MHz was tricky only because it
is an odd speed that I couldn't quite dial in with the settings found in the test system's BIOS. But getting into that
general range required minimal effort, and even overclocking to well above 1200MHz was pretty much plug and play."
Here are some more Memory articles from around the web:

However, when it comes to what actually happens as the economy cycles through those stages, history is but a guide and predictions are little more than educated guesses -- as is evidenced by the current state of IT employment.
At this stage of economic recovery, history tells us employers should be shedding temporary help in favor of building their internal staffs.
But they're not.
In fact, what we've been seeing over the past six or so months is an increase in both permanent and temporary hiring; with an increased demand by employers for temporary help that they intend to transition to permanent employees.
The positions we're seeing as most in demand appear to be software developers and database administrators, as well as network and computer systems administrators.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, IT unemployment figures are at their lowest level since 2001, averaging 3.7% for the four quarters ending March 31, 2005 as compared to the same four-quarter period last year when unemployment hit 5.5%.
Meanwhile, the American Staffing Association reports that U.S. staffing firms saw an increase in overall temporary and contract placements of 11% in the first quarter of 2005, breaking a record first set in 2000.
Many CIOs to Increase Outsourcing
There are several factors at play that may explain why IT employment is bucking historical trends. The most obvious is that CIOs are struggling to find ways to complete projects that have been delayed for several years with budgets that are only marginally higher.
They are essentially figuring out how to accommodate business growth, an increased demand for customer and end-user support and such projects as system installations and development of web-based applications with budgets that are increasing by only about 3.9%, according to a survey by Merrill Lynch.
According to the CIOs who responded to that survey, the largest portion of their budget was allotted for increasing internal IT staffs (43%) while another 13% was reserved for consulting and systems integration (eight%) and outsourcing (five%).
It is interesting to note that in spite of the low allotment, 40% of the CIO respondents indicated that they expect to increase their use of outsourcing.
Further, the Merrill Lynch analysts who conducted the survey were optimistic about IT spending based on past surveys that showed CIOs who were initially wary of budgets tended to free up more dollars as the year progressed.
Based on that observation, analysts forecast a spending increase of about five percent later in 2005.
Reconciling the difference between available budget and increased spending requirements points to yet another trend that is creating a unique hiring environment: caught between cost constraints and the need to innovate, CIOs are cutting fixed expenses such as personnel costs, mainframe expenses, hardware and software maintenance, and equipment leases to free up dollars for strategic projects and new technologies that offer a higher ROI and move the company forward.
In the end, it is possible to link IT hiring to general economic cycles. However, to expect such a highly volatile industry to precisely mirror trends is shortsighted, particularly given the rapidly shifting technical, legislative and business-specific pressures that affect it.
The challenge to CIOs is to create hiring and staffing plans that are flexible enough to accommodate the unexpected while still keeping an eye on their long-term strategies.

Boys cross country preview: Fenske seeks second straight state meet trip
Elliot Fenske has some high expectations for his senior season and, apparently, the people at the Minnesota State High School League do, as well.
The Farmington senior sits 13th in the MSHSL's pre-season rankings for Class 2A cross country coming off a junior season in which he finished 28th in the state meet with a time of 16 minutes, 36 seconds on the hilly course at St. Olaf College in Northfield. Seventeen of the top 27 state finishers were seniors, so Fenske is eager to get back to state and see how far he can move up.
"I would like to improve from how I did last year and step it up more and really push myself to the limit," Fenske said. "In order for me to do that I will have some intense runs and workouts, but I know I -- along with the rest of the team -- am willing to do that."
Fenske finished in the top 10 at meets throughout last season before qualifying for state with a fifth-place finish at the section meet. After the state meet, he stayed in shape by playing for the Farmington basketball team and participating in the school's strength and conditioning program.
"Lately I have started to get out for more runs and started building up my legs for the season," Fenske said.
On Monday, the Tigers will begin the process of building a formidable varsity lineup around Fenske. Nick Arenberg and Levi Freetly, the team's Nos. 2 and 3 runners last year, were lost to graduation, but a group of five varsity letter-winners are back compete for varsity spots.
Two of those returning runners are coming off track seasons where they were strong performers in the distance events for the Tigers.
Senior Carl Elmer, an 87th-place finisher at last year's section cross country meet, came up with a pair of personal-best times at the section track meet at Lakeville South where he ran a 10:34 in the 3,200 and a 4:51 in the 1,600.
Junior Chad Retterath was the team's No. 5 runner at last season's section cross country meet and came back this spring to run a personal-best 4:43 in the 1,600. He continued running this summer and qualified for nationals with a time of 4:28 in the 1,500.
Other returning runners from last year's team are senior Matt Thomas, junior Lincoln Kirchoff and sophomore Alec Wilson. Fourth-year head coach Keith Revels is also looking for last year's top JV runners -- Justin Rees, Brandon Strohfus and Josh Ruthenbeck -- to improve enough to compete for varsity time.
"Timing is everything when you get to conference and section meets. You need to be healthy on that day, especially if you are lacking depth," said Revels, whose team finished fifth in the conference and ninth in the section a year ago. "Losing two of our top five scorers means that someone needs to step up and drop time to help keep our score down."

Sail Button Purchase
Starting in 2012, Sail Registration Stickers (aka "Buttons") are required for all sails on the race course. The Class Rules on registering sails went into effect 3/31/11 and 2011 was the transition year.
As part of implementing this rule, "new" sails are considered those built on or after 1/1/2011 and get red stickers that you purchase from the Class via PayPal below.
Sail registration stickers are free for all "old" sails built prior to 1/1/2011. These stickers are black and are available from members of the Technical Committee (Tim Carter, Ben Steinberg & Dave Nickerson) and the Treasurer (Tony Chapman). Please contact them via email in the Class forums.
Sometimes Technical Committee members will have both new and old sail registration stickers available at regattas, but please make arrangements with them ahead of time.
Viper Sail Registration How-To May 2016
The Class Rules on sail acquisition can be found in Section 7.8. Note that the vintaging of sails is tied to their date of first use in any race, not the calendar year of purchase. Please also see Technical Committee Interpretation 14.4 if you have an EFG spinnaker from 2010 and that impacts your 2011 inventory limits.
Although your sail registration sticker request will be reviewed by the Class, the ultimate responsibility for complying with the Class Rule rests with the boat owner. Sail registration stickers may be purchased by sailmakers on behalf of owners, but all the requested boat, owner and sail information must be provided.
Please complete all fields below, as well as provide a correct shipping address at the PayPal checkout. Your order cannot be processed without all information.

When Evelyn Springs announced in August that the Autism Speaks fundraiser, Lancaster Cooks 2010 – Look Who's Cooking, had been postponed, she vowed not to sit on her laurels.
The feisty, take-no-for-an-answer-grandmother is proving to be good to her word.
Springs – who continues to fight autism – the disease that is effects the daily life of her 8-year-old grandson, Mailk, is now casting her bread upon the waters with a fishing net.
Evelyn Springs continues to fight to find a cure for the autism that has robbed her grandson, Malik, 8, of a normal childhood.
But for now, that fight has been put on hold.
No, Springs isn't a quitter, but the annual fundraiser she hosts for Autism Speaks has been postponed.
Although letters and invitations for Lancaster Cooks 2010 – Look Who's Cooking have been mailed out, the plans have been temporarily shelved.
The popular fundraiser was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 28 at the Fairway Room.
Three authors who share a common thread that weaves through Lancaster County have recently published books.
The Rev. Jesse Adams became an author quite unexpectedly.
Harriett Hodges Diller became an accomplished author years ago and continues to write.
Malcolm Jones has made a very successful living reviewing books and is now writing his own.
Here are their stories.
Adams a reluctant writer
The Rev. Jessie Adams never imagined he would one day be an author.
"I don't even like to write," he said.
One-handed grabs don't just apply to the action on the football field. They also apply to the food in the parking lot, before and after the game.
It's time to get out the awning, folding table, chairs, coolers, grill and the cornhole game.
Tailgating – the football season social hour – is finally here.
It's hard to beat a day with family and friends at a college or pro football stadium to celebrate a love of the game and to root on your favorite team.
Ninety-year-old Sarah Crockett hasn't lost her zeal for life.
The great-great-grandmother hasn't lost her zeal for the camp meeting at Mount Carmel AME Zion Church, either.
The wagons and buggies Crockett recalls seeing when she came to camp meeting for the first time in 1932, as a 12 year old, are gone. They've been replaced by motor homes.
"Back then, very few people had cars," she said.
Family Promise and local law enforcement are about to get a dose of "Monkey Madness" from Girl Scouts Nicole Hudson and Michaella Oswald.
The two 14 year olds, members of Girl Scout Troop 3671, have launched a pajama and stuffed toy drive drive to benefit both as a community service project for their Girl Scout Silver Awards.
The Girl Scout Silver award is the second highest award Girl Scouts can earn.
September and October are the best months to plant cool-season grasses.
"Labor Day is the time to really start thinking about getting that fall seed out there," said Brian Beer, Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service agent for Lancaster County.
But before you get out the seed broadcaster and unroll the garden hose, there's a little homework to do.
And this assignment goes a long way in stretching your dollar as well as protecting both time and money.
The sun is sinking in the sky a little earlier each evening.
We're losing a couple of minutes of daylight each day as autumn draws closer.
The hot, hazy days of summer are winding down, too, with daily temperatures decreasing.
It's a sure sign that Labor Day, college football and fall are on the way.
Labor Day weekend marks the official end of summer.
The focus of Labor Day should always be on relaxing.
That was Congress' full intention in June 1894 when it enacted the federal holiday.
KERSHAW – " Thirteen-year-old Amber Vinson likes math and is pretty good at it.
The Andrew Jackson Middle School student's report card is always full of A's and B's in every course.
But math isn't the only course this eighth grader is getting good at.
And just like her report card is proof positive of her work in the classroom, those pink and black Ferrini Stingray Tiger Western boots she wears to school each day show that Amber is getting pretty good at ripping through the barrels, too.
Ann Robertson made a decision years ago. After recovering from a stroke and later being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, her doctor told her that her future was in her own hands.
She learned that while the fibromyalgia would be painful, she could choose to be active and deal with the pain or let the pain control her.
She chose to be active. Part of her active lifestyle includes planning and maintaining one of the prettiest yards in Lancaster.

Bexleyheath, United Kingdom (PressExposure) October 18, 2011 -- With the recession taking hold, many people are feeling worried about the future, and over the last few months at StormJewel's Psychic Readings UK [http://www.psychicreadingbyphone.co.uk/], there has been a sharp increase in requests for career and money readings.
In these times of uncertainty and distrust of modern institutions of capitalism such as banks and big corporations, many people are looking to the past and to other cultures in which divination is common, to find a new way of living their lives.
Divination is an ancient practice, and people through the ages have been using tools to help them predict the future, from tea leaves, dream interpretation, palm reading, bibliomancy (asking a question and randomly selecting a page of a book - often a religious text) to bones and ordinary playing cards.
StormJewel (aka Louisa Lopez) told us that "while I've noticed that my online shop has been affected by the recession, there has been an increase in the amount of people wanting some clarity on their life, especially their work and financial situations."
In order to help those who are struggling, StormJewel is offering big discounts this month on her psychic readings by phone, with readings reduced by up to £10. For those that just want a quick answer they can avail of the text a psychic [http://www.psychicreadingbyphone.co.uk/content/26-psychic-text/] service on offer at £1.50 a text. She is also offering a monthly competition with lots of freebies (including psychic readings, astrology reports and tarot card sets) to help take the financial strain and also to encourage business.
As well as discount clairvoyant readings, StormJewel offers tips on how to develop psychic powers so people can start reading the tarot for themselves - and the tools can be bought in her alternative shop StormJewel's Gifts. She also provides people with tips on how to prepare for their phone readings, and shows visitors how to make an effective mind map, so that they can get the most for their money when they call a psychic.
Lopez recently obtained a masters in Anthropology at Goldsmith's University and plans to volunteer abroad helping people to improve their livelihoods, and hopes that these psychic promotions will not only help people in the recession but will also help her to help others in countries like Cambodia and Thailand.

Pianist Morben to perform fourth Honors Concert
Ashley Morben, a sophomore at Detroit Lakes High School, was a winner in the Senior A Division of the Minnesota Music Teachers Association State Music Contest.
She will perform Beethoven's "March in C" by in an ensemble group of 20 students in the 74th annual State Honors Concert. This will be Morben's fourth appearance in the Honors Concert.
The event will be at Northrup Auditorium on the University of Minnesota campus on Saturday, May 30, at 7 p.m.
Mollie Kuether, a senior at DLHS, was also a winner in the Senior B Division, but was unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts. Alternates chosen were Byron VanGerpen, a fourth grader at Rossman Elementary School in the Junior A Division, and Ben Thompson, a seventh grader at Holy Rosary School in the Junior B Division.
All are students of Anne Jorgenson of Jorgenson Music Studio.
In January and February, about 4,000 students throughout the state competed in the preliminary contests. From those, 1,800 winners were chosen to compete in the final contest held at the University of Minnesota in March.
There were nine categories set up according to age level. A designated music theory exam is a prerequisite for Intermediate A (ages 13-14) and higher categories. This is part of the MMTA curriculum that integrates theory and performance.

Rockdale, Texas Rivals250 linebacker James David may be sidelined with an injury but it has not slowed down the recruiting process.
The 6-3, 225-pound standout is on track for full clearance this summer, and is looking forward to a strong senior season. In the meantime he continues to add offers with TCU, Baylor, Houston, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, and Washington already on the table.
In April he was able to visit two Big 12 programs.
Article Continues Below
"Baylor had a scrimmage and I went to Texas' spring game," David said.
Both visits left an impression on the Central Texas linebacker.
"It was good," David said of Baylor. "I got to meet some of the coaches."
"It was probably the same as Baylor's," David said of Texas. "I liked it and I got to meet up with Manny Diaz and talk to him. I had a good time."
He also plans to visit TCU soon, but does not currently have anything planned.
"I'm trying to go up there one of these days," David said.
At this point in the process, David is keeping a close eye on his options and there are four schools at the top of his list.
"Four schools I'm looking at the most are Baylor, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Alabama," David said. "I like the coaches and how they get players ready to become big stars and they take care of you like you're their own son."
All four are even at this point, but David does know when he would like to narrow his list down to one and make a decision.
"The beginning of football season," David said.
David is currently ranked No. 163 in the Rivals250.

Most of my reading is done in bed with a flashlight. It's a habit I've developed and I enjoy being able to just set the book and flashlight down and go to sleep. It helps me wind down and I actually look forward to it each night. It's sometimes awkward to lay in bed and set the flashlight just right to shine on the book and not roll off, but it's worth it for me.
While ereaders have been something I was interested in, I hadn't taken the plunge in getting one because I'd still have to deal with the flashlight, and for the way I read it didn't make a whole lot of sense.
With my new Literati Wireless Reader from The Sharper Image, I've been able to put away the flashlight and still read in the dark!
Our Digital Reader gives you instant access to millions of reasonably priced and nearly 2 million free book titles from the Kobo bookstore. Extremely portable, the Literati Reader goes wherever you go, and integrates with your computer and smart phone. With the Reader device, you can turn the page, and adjust type size and the screen brightness with the touch of a button on this 7" color screen.
- Has a 7″ backlit color LCD screen
- Built-in connection to Kobo (a global eReading service with access to nearly 2 million titles) through your home or office wireless network.
- List price is $159 (will likely drop as we approach the holiday season)
- Comes with a protective case/cover.
- Is rechargeable using the included A/C adapter.
- Is not a touch screen, and has a keyboard to perform searches in the bookstore.
- Enough storage space for hundreds of titles.
- Adjustable screen brightness.
- Adjustable text size.
I've been using the Literati Reader for a little over a week now and honestly I have a love-hate relationship with it. It has some really "good" features for me but also has some "not-so-good" things going on with it for me.
Is the "good" enough to out-weigh the "not-so-good"? I think so. Let's take a look…
Backlit LCD
The Literati fills a definite need for me. Where other ereaders are designed to mimic the look of paper, whereby not allowing night reading without an additional light source, the Literati is backlit and is perfect for night reading. The screen brightness is adjustable and I really love not needing a flashlight.
Color screen
The Literati screens are in color and really attractive to the eye. I enjoy seeing my books on the screen as if I was looking at a bookshelf. Being able to see the covers in full color as I select which book I want to read next helps make it more of a tactile experience – more like reading an actual book.
Size and feel
The Literati comes with a protective case that opens like a book. The unit fits in it really well and I like the feel of the case. It helps protect it but also adds to the feeling of actually reading a book because of the way it opens. The unit itself is a great size overall. It's a tad long because of the keyboard at the bottom, but it is slim and fits nicely into a bag.
The Literati makes it easy to search for books in the bookstore and it's very nice not to have to plug the unit into the computer every time you want to download a book. Having a wireless connection to buy books is very convenient. The numbered keypad on the bottom is fairly easy to use and searching for a book is quick and easy.
Sleep mode
The literati on/off switch, when pressed once quickly, puts the unit to sleep so it doesn't drain your battery but you don't have to wait for the full load each time. It saves your place in the book and turns right on to the last place you left off. This is a nice feature because it is as easy as opening a book to start reading. It's instantaneous.
(make sure you read my updates below as some of the issues I had originally have been corrected)
I've had a bit of trouble with some of the functions of the Literati.
- The strap on the case that holds the unit in place covers up the power button.
- Some of the letter buttons stick when I am searching the store causing me to have to cancel out and start over.
- Connecting to the store wirelessly is buggy at best. I usually have to reset the unit using the button on the back (I do not lose my downloads) and then it will connect.
- The adjustable text size is nice but I wish it would go a step or 2 smaller, it still seems larger than the print of a book on it's smallest setting.
- The page navigation on the sides to turn the page sometimes require pressing 2 or 3 times to get the page to turn.
- My computer will not recognize the Literati (a known bug) so I cannot manually add PDF's or other books I might get elsewhere besides Kobo. I also cannot get the Literati to read from the SD Card.
- The battery life before requiring charging is measured in terms of hours rather than days – meaning it doesn't last as long as other ereaders. I think the backlit LCD is the culprit so I can't complain too much since that is my favorite feature.
- The battery life indicator does not show up while you are actually reading a book and it doesn't give you enough time to get to the plug to plug it in before it shuts off.
- I purchased Carol Burnett's autobiography (I've always wanted to read it) and while each chapter has pictures, the pictures do not show up on the Literati – just the caption, which is pretty annoying.
- The Kobo bookstore claims to have 1.8 million FREE titles. I can only find a couple hundred.
On a day-to-day basis, using and reading with the Literati Wireless Reader has been a great experience. It fits into my lifestyle, and has some great features not available on other comparable ereaders. The "not-so-good" features are minor annoyances when looked at individually. When looked at collectively, it is quite a laundry list of items, but I still find myself leaning more towards the "love" end than the "hate' end of the spectrum, because for me, the night reading is my main use of the unit and it really makes it easy for me. I am optimistic that The Sharper Image will provide the necessary software updates (the manual states the unit will prompt when updates are available) to fix some of the "not-so-good" things I mentioned.
I hope so, because the Literati Wireless Reader is on the cusp of greatness!
UPDATE 11/21/2010: Today my Literati did a wireless update. I turned it on and it informed me that a software update was available, so I clicked ok to download. It took roughly 20 minutes then insisted on restarting. It locked up. Would not restart. So I pressed the reset button on the back. The Literati restarted, clearly had done an update because a new option was available in the menu, and the best part is that now my computer recognizes it! Yay!
UPDATE 12/30/2010: Because this was a blog tour sponsored by Mom Central, the unit I received had had a software update done before I received the ereader that apparently caused a number of problems with many of the reviewers participating.
So, in an effort to ensure we experienced the Literati the way a consumer would, they sent us new units.
I do not have the same issues I had with the original unit, but as I mentioned, the original unit also improved after a wireless update a few weeks after I started using it. I do however, still have a few minor issues. The page turn buttons do not always react and I occasionally have to hit them quite a few times for the page to turn. Also, if the battery runs out, the unit resets, forcing me to re-input the date and time and it loses my bookmarks in any books I was reading.
All problems aside, I do LOVE my Literati. I now read every night, sometimes staying up well past when a reasonable person should go to sleep reading. I can take it anywhere and have a whole library of books at my fingertips.
"I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of The Sharper Image and received a Literati eReader to facilitate my review."

Warm welcome for 'Gooch'
HE may be a Kerryman, but that did not bother students at Davis College in Mallow giving footballer Colm 'Gooch' Cooper a warm welcome when he visited the school last week.
The legendary centre-forward, a youth ambassador for the AIB, was visiting the school to promote the Build a Bank initiative, the largest schools competition in the country.
Linked to the business studies curriculum, it encourages students to develop their entrepreneurial skills by setting up and managing their own school bank.
All competing schools will have the change to compete at the national final for a top prize of €5,000.
The Gooch clearly enjoyed his day in Mallow as he posed for photos and signed autographs.
"Students in Cork have a long and successful history in this competition and I would encourage all of the students here in Mallow to get involved in this wonderful project," he said.
To find out more about the competition visit www.aib.ie/buildabank.

This event, the largest annual book festival in North Carolina, brings nationally known authors to downtown Winston-Salem on the second weekend in September. This year Bookmarks will celebrate its 10th festival on Saturday, September 6. Wake Forest University and ZSR Library have been Bookmarks supporters since its beginnings.
This year the Wake Forest community will also have the opportunity to interact with Najla Said at ZSR Library on Friday, September 5.
At 10:00 a.m. Najla Said will give a presentation in the Library Auditorium (ZSR 404). Said's book, Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab-American Family, is a memoir of her childhood and young adulthood as the daughter of renowned scholar Edward Said and his accomplished Lebanese wife. Her story is a very personal take on issues of racism, family dynamics, and ethnic identity, told with honesty and humor.
This event is cosponsored by the ZSR Library Lecture Series and the BookmarksAuthors in Schools program. This event is free and open to the public.
Najla Said will also appear at the Bookmarks festival on September 6, along with Lev Grossman (The Magician's Land), James McBride (The Good Lord Bird), Sam Kean (The Disappearing Spoon, The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons), A. Scott Berg (Wilson: A Life), Rita Mae Brown, Robert Morgan, and many others. For more information, visit the Bookmarks website at http://www.bookmarksnc.org .

Recipe Source: Lee, Cecilia Hae-Jin. Eating Korean. John Wiley & Sons, Hoboken, 2005 p. 101
Years ago - all right, a year and a half ago - when I still worked outside the home, there was a Korean restaurant near my office that I was absolutely in love with. I'd tried Korean food before once or twice, but opportunities for exploring it were few and far between until Minsok came into my life. One of my favorite things to get for lunch at Minsok was Yookgaejang, a kind of spicy beef and scallion soup. Well, I work from home and home is a long way from Brookline, so I don't get to go to Minsok and indulge myself as often. When I got this book and noticed this recipe, I thought it might be very close to the real thing.
The result was not identical to Minsok's version, but it was darned tasty nevertheless. I didn't make a lot of changes other than using green garlic instead of regular garlic, which I feel gave it a more pronounced garlic aroma. I used chile powder that was labeled "extra hot" - my husband had complained that the last dish I'd made at home (the pasta with fresh basil and tomatoes) wasn't spicy enough, so I decided to be a little generous in my measurements. That made it a little spicier than the Minsok version, which is certainly no slouch in the scoville unit department. Minsok also makes theirs with noodles, also serving rice on the side. I've been assured that this is not only inauthentic but possibly heretical by people who are in a better position to know than I am, but I don't care. It still tastes great and adds body to the soup. I didn't omit the noodles for the sake of authenticity, though. I omitted them because I didn't have the right kind.
We both really liked this soup. I was probably a little harsher in my evaluation of it because I was comparing it to Minsok, but that's okay. My husband, who has never been to Minsok, loved it and had thirds. A note on cost per serving: brisket is usually one of the cheapest cuts of beef you can get, and I'm very certain that you can get brisket for far less than I paid for it. I got mine at the farmer's market, so fresh you could still smell the fields on it, grass fed, et cetera, and the cost was frankly exorbitant. Getting brisket for less money would get your cost per serving down considerably.
Yookgaejang (serves 5 - 6; approx. $2.44/serving)
1 pound beef brisket
1 gallon of water
1 green garlic bulb, minced
3 generous tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons kosher salt
3 eggs
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 bunches scallions, cut into 3" lengths
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Large saucepan or stock pot
- Skimmer (optional)
- Small bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Put the beef and water in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour. Skim as necessary.
- When the meat is sufficiently tender, let cool slightly and shred it into thin strips.
- Put the meat strips into the mixing bowl with the garlic, chili powder, soy sauce and salt. Mix thoroughly and set aside at least 10 minutes.
- Combine the eggs and sesame oil in the small bowl and beat well.
- Bring the broth to a boil again.
- Add the seasoned meat, scallions and pepper.
- Return to a boil, then drizzle the egg mixture into the boiling broth.
- Boil 1 - 2 minutes, then serve.

Patience Price - Got No Views
Booth newcomer Patience Price will be the first to admit that he's got a long way to go before he becomes a household name, but don't it twisted; he's not content simply to be one among many rap hopefuls busting their respective asses to escape from obscurity. On the contrary, the Portland-bred, Los Angeles-based emcee prides himself on being "...the greatest of the Got No Views." A freshly-leaked standout cut off Price's recently-released debut EP, this cut finds the up-and-comer waxing iconoclastic over Hala-X's apocalyptic synth grooves (borrowed, along with a vocal hook, from The Weeknd's Life of the Party). In disjointed yet bruising verses fueled by about "...a million PBRs," Price spews venom at underground peers and heavyweights alike, expressing confidence that time will prove his superiority to the competition: "I fecal matter on these cats and make 'em feel like Asher Roth, I'm physical / By the time I'm finished, my acclaim it will be critical." Agree with Patience Price's self-assessment? If so, you can expect plenty more eclectically hard-hitting jams on Adrenaline and Vodka, available now online.

In celebration of the 2010 World Cup, starting in a couple of days in South Africa, we're reprinting a travel story from four years ago, when Summit Voice editor and publisher Bob Berwyn and his son, Dylan, enjoyed some first-hand Cup action during a trip through Germany, Austria and France.
By Bob Berwyn
We know we're about to dive into the midst of World Cup madness even while our plane is still far out over the Atlantic. Instead of telling us about the weather at our destination, the pilot gives updates on the first game of the tournament. When he announces the score of the opener – Germany 4, Costa Rica 2 – most of the passengers cheer, setting the tone for the landing at Frankfurt International Airport.
Soccer fever is running high, and even the normally stone-faced security guards and customs officials crack wide smiles as fans from around the globe throng through the portals. The guy who checks our passports is wearing a Brazil bracelet, and the final inspector waves us through with a big grin and without so much as a glance at my backpack: "Willkommen in Deutschland. Viel Spass!"
Dylan, my 8-year-old son, marvels at the riot of colorful jerseys, T-shirts, flags, hats and balls, and immediately starts calculating how many souvenirs he'll be able to carry back. I see it as a teachable moment, and I'm hoping that by the end of our trip, he'll recognize the 32 flags of the countries participating in the tournament and know how to locate them on a map.
I'll even have to do some homework myself. Some of the teams in the Cup — Serbia-Montenegro and Croatia, for example — are representing countries that didn't exist when I was growing up in Germany back in the 1960s and 70s. And Serbia and Montenegro split into separate countries since qualifying for the 2006 Cup began, further illustrating rapid-fire changes in the European geopolitical map.
As the European umbrella broadens, smaller cultures within the region have re-emerged and staked claim to what, in some cases, are ancient, almost tribal identities. While there's been some fear that European integration will lead to a loss of cultural roots, I actually believe, based on a few recent trips, the opposite will hold true.
Far from being old and settled, Europe has a progressive, wide-open feel to it these days, as the open borders of the EU enable a stimulating and invigorating re-invention of what it means to live, work and play here. In spite of short-term economic hiccups, the security offered by the larger structure likely will encourage a flowering of regional and local cultures.
The World Cup, we come to find, is helping with that cultural integration, as tens of thousands of fans from every corner of the globe mingle at airports, train stations and during the giant street parties that become the hallmark of this summer's cup. People here are beginning to think of themselves as Europeans, marking an astoundingly quick evolution of political consciousness in a region that for centuries was marked by intense nationalism.
Meanwhile, Dylan and I have become incidental World Cup tourists. Our last-minute trip to Germany, Austria and France wasn't planned around the event, but I was aware that we'd be parachuting into the middle of what is best described as a month-long Superbowl, spread out across a country just a bit smaller than Texas. We don't have tickets to any of the games, but we're not alone. Most of the people we meet are there as members of a global soccer tribe, wrapped in flags, with faces painted in the colors of their national teams.
It's not always easy to tell who's who — in many cases, they've swapped banners, and it's just as easy to find an Italian draped in a Brazlian flag as it is to find an Argentinian wearing a French jersey. But many still take their football seriously.
On the train to the Cup
On the early morning train from Frankfurt to Munich, while Dylan sleeps in our compartment, I chat with a hardcore German fan in the stand-up dining car, where he's enjoying a breakfast beer or three, along with some sausages. He tells me the German tricolor flag on his face, already smeared from the first night's revelry, will stay as long as his team remains in the chase. He's happy about his team's win, but not convinced by their performance, and he actually touts the American team as a contender. (The U.S. lost in the qualifying rounds.)
Munich has always been a hotbed of German soccer. It's home to FC Bayern, the most successful team in the Bundesliga, and several of that team's star players form an important core of the national squad. The train station is rocking when we arrive, mostly with Mexican fans preparing for their team's match versus Iran the following day in Nürnberg. It seems that every inch of sidewalk space is taken up stands selling everything from soccer-related flip-flops and beach towels, to keychains and cleats.
After an afternoon nap slightly mitigates our jetlag, we venture out into the streets, where the main square, Marienplatz, has been transformed into a giant outdoor beer hall, at this point echoing with cries of Viva Mexico! In one of those small-world deals, we bump into a cluster of futbol fans from Denver: Hector, Manny, Fred and the rest of their crew have flown in with their families for all three first-round games, and we compare notes on the festivities so far.
We're in my old college-days stomping grounds, so I show them around and we quickly strike up a fan-based friendship. It turns out that part of their gang couldn't make the trip, and they have a couple of extra tickets for the game against Iran the next day. They've already sold a few and made some cash, and they generously invite us to join them for the trek to Nürnberg. What an unexpected treat! The game is a routine opening round match, but the vibe is incredible, and we return to our Munich digs completely energized and ready for whatever else the cup may throw our way.
Even some of Munich's oldest traditions give way as the tournament proceeds. The city's old-fashioned beer gardens, shaded by magnificent chestnut trees, have always been oases of peace and quiet from the urban hustle. But for the tournament big-screen TVs are set up outside, and the Oompah band is having a hard time holding the crowd's attention.
As we wander back into the city later, we stumble on to the World Street Football championships, ending the evening with a group of Brazilians who have set up an impromptu samba stand. Dylan convinces me that he absolutely needs a yellow and green street football (a little lighter and smaller than a regulation ball) and even though I have no clue how we're going to schlep it around Europe for the next three weeks, I get caught up in the moment, and before you know it, we're dribbling our way down the sidewalk and back into the subway.
By the time we roll into Linz, Austria (our base camp for the bulk of the three-week trip), Dylan has become a self-proclaimed soccer expert, especially once he grasps the offsides rule, and wants to bet on all the games. Truth be told, it's a pretty easy game to understand, probably one of the things that makes it so appealing. And on this level, it's more — much more — than a sport.
Fútbol … everywhere
As the days progress, it becomes clear that this World Cup is an international catharsis, a clearinghouse for politics, social and cultural issues. It becomes so easy suddenly, based on the common interest in the game, to approach nearly anyone on the street who's wearing a jersey or wristband and start a friendly conversation.
During an impromptu pickup game on a field near the Danube, disaster nearly strikes. After a long run down the field, Dylan launches a powerful right-footed kick toward my goal, but it spins off his foot and tumbles down the embankment into the river as I secretly feared might happen. We watch the ball swirl in an eddy and look for a long stick. It floats tantalizingly, just out of reach and looks like it's about to head downstream toward Vienna and the Black Sea beyond. Just in the nick of time, a kayaker appears and sweeps the ball back to shore with his paddle.
We watch games everwhere: In our hotel room, at my aunt's apartment with my dad (who gives Dylan the same soccer insights that he shared with me 40 years ago), in the town square with thousands of other fans and in tiny street corner pubs and even in store window televisions, where Dylan instantly makes friends with other young fans, debating the relative skills of Klose and Ronaldo, and then practicing their step-over dribbles and behind-the-leg passes.
By the time the quarterfinals roll around, we've worked our way to the French Riveria. Just down the road from St. Tropez, we pile into a beach café to watch Germany take on favored Argentina, and the place is packed once again with fans from all over. While there's no historic love lost between Germany and France, the natives are exceedingly polite, cheering the Argentine side's first score and then applauding wildly as the Germans equalize with a deliciously graceful and deadly combination of headers past the replacement goalie. Everything stops as the teams line up for penalty kicks, and when the Germans prevails, everyone hoists their glass for a salute to the warriors on the field.
"Germany against France in the finals," says Jean, the friendly waiter, before waving us out the door.
We catch only a few glimpses of the rest of the quarterfinals during the long train ride from southern France back to Frankfurt, but it only takes a one quick look at the glum Brazilians sleeping off their hangovers in the train station to know that the dreams of the South Americans have been dashed, at least for this year, while blue-clad French fans can't seem to stop hugging each other.
Thanks to the miracle of jet travel, we return to Summit County in time for the semis, watching in near disbelief as the Azurri patiently wait for almost 120 minutes to decide the crucial match against the host team.
The trip is over, but the memories linger, and our summer sojourn in Europe will always be remembered as the World Cup trip. We're already making plans to return in 2008, when the European Championships will be held in Austria and Switzerland.

Centene Corporation Selected for Ohio Medicaid Contract
Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) has been notified by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) that Buckeye Community Health Plan (Buckeye), Centene's Ohio subsidiary, has been selected as one of five health plans to be awarded a contract to serve Medicaid members in Ohio, effective January 2013.
Under the new state contract, Buckeye will operate statewide through Ohio's three newly aligned regions (West, Central/Southeast, and Northeast). Coverage for both CFC and ABD recipients has been combined into a single contract for each region.
The ODJFS on April 6, 2012, initially announced five health plans had been selected as part of the state's recent RFA process. Buckeye was not among the plans selected at that time and was one of five plans that filed a formal protest on April 16. After review of applications, the protests, and other correspondences from the applicants and, after a rescoring of the applications, the ODJFS has recommended Buckeye to be awarded a Medicaid contract.
