It's a big change, going from Carolina to Edmonton, but it's one that Erik Cole is thrilled to be making.
There's nothing like playing in a hockey market, especially when that hockey market is preparing for a revival. And the way Cole sees it, Edmonton is both.
"I'm excited to be a part of things here," said the 29-year-old winger, eagerly anticipating his first season with in Edmonton. "I'm looking forward to the fact that hockey is front and centre every day. It's everywhere you go."
Carolina is a decent market when the Canes are winning, but it's not the same as playing hockey in a Canadian city - something every NHLer should experience once. It's a lot of pressure, but it can be a lot of fun, too.
"I think that's a good thing," Cole said of the scrutiny. "It helps you stay focused, no detail goes unnoticed."
And the way Cole sees it, the Oilers are ready to get noticed in a big way. He liked the direction Edmonton was headed when he found out he'd been traded here in the summertime swap for Joni Pitkanen, and nothing he's seen since his arrival has dampened that enthusiasm.
"The way the team finished last year, there's reason for all the optimism," he said, adding he's totally impressed with the depth of skill on Edmonton's top three lines.
"You need to have at least three lines that can score goals and put up numbers, and that's what we have here - nine forwards who can all play well, compete and interchange any which way.
"That's what's going to work out best for this team, there's certainlly no shortage of skilled player here. Hopefully the young guys can continue on the paths that they started on and if we continue to have the good veteran leadership it should make for a good combination."
Cole, in the final year of a $4 million contract, is now fully recovered from the neck injury that almost ended his career three seasons ago (Oilers fans will remember the courage and determination he showed when he came back for Games 6 and 7 of the Stanley Cup final to help Carolina beat Edmonton).
"I'm excited, I feel really good about this season,"he said. "I feel strong. The neck since last December has been fantastic."
He's ready to be one of the final pieces in a rebuilding effort that gets Edmonton back in the playoffs.
"It's been great coming to the rink and trying to fit in and be part of things," said the six-foot-two, 205-pounder.
"I'd like to make as seamless a transition as possible."
EDMONTON OILERS GET ... W Erik Cole.
CAROLINA HURRICANES GET ... D Joni Pitkanen.

Brandon Lang's work the past month is one of the things that has made the Chargers' decision makers scramble as they attempt to configure their 53-man roster.
The outside linebacker, an undrafted rookie, has likely earned himself a spot on the team already. But he's not in any position to think so going into Thursday night's exhibition finale at San Francisco.
"I'm excited, ready to go out there and show the coaches I'm well worth it," Lang said. "I'm going to show it. This is a big game for me."
This is the preseason game most people, including many players, could do without.
Head coach Norv Turner even mused earlier this week, as the coaches are in the midst of already specifically preparing for the regular season, that he and his staff might go over a quick game plan on the flight to San Francisco.
He was kidding, sort of.
Fact is, there are players the Chargers have yet to decide whether they're staying or going, even if their best chance is as one of the eight practice squad members.
"I think there have been some decisions or some evaluations that have been done, and they are incomplete, and the final part of that comes Thursday night," Turner said. "There are going to be some guys who make this team based on how they play Thursday night, and there are going to be some guys who aren't going to make this team based on how they play.
"There are some really tight races based upon our guys, between our guys or positions. To me, it starts with special teams and how they perform on special teams, and then after that how they perform at their positions."
The reality, given they have already had every move scrutinized over dozens of practices and three games, is that a player can hurt himself more than help himself in the last preseason game.
Among the players who could consider this an important final audition: receivers Seyi Ajirotutu, Jeremy Williams and Josh Reed; running backs Shawnbrey McNeal and Curtis Brinkley; offensive linemen Ryan McDonald, Ryan Otterson, Brady Bond and Nick Richmond; quarterback Jonathan Crompton; linebacker Kion Wilson; and cornerbacks Nathan Vasher and Brandon Hughes.
Nuts 'n' Bolts
• The Chargers signed punter Glen Pakulak on Tuesday for two reasons. He will handle most of the punting duties in the finale, and he has been giving the Chargers returners a look at the ball coming from a left-footed punter. Kansas City's Dustin Colquitt, who the Chargers will see in the season opener, is a lefty.
• Cornerback Fred Bennett, signed Tuesday off waivers, did not practice and won't play Thursday. He did arrive at Chargers Park and was working on the field in the afternoon.
• Uh-oh. The Chargers are in danger of having their first losing preseason since going 0-5 in 1999.

LOS ANGELES, March 27 (UPI) -- "Buckwild" star Salwa Amin has been arrested on a bench warrant for missing a court date connected to her arrest during a West Virginia drug raid, police said.
Amin was arrested for drug possession with intent to deliver last month after police found oxycodone pills and heroin at her friend's house while she was there.
Amin is accused of transporting the drugs to the house to sell them.
TMZ said Wednesday Amin remains in custody without bail. A new court date has not yet been scheduled.

text: I currently have a Head LM Radical MP with a 4 1/2 grip size. I use the Gamma Supreme overgrip. The grips on my rackets are the stock Head grip that comes on the Radicals. I'm looking to make the grip size a little bit smaller. Can this be done by adding a leather grip? I'm thinking that a leather grip is thinner than the stock cushion grip. Is this the case, or am I completely wrong here? Is there any other alternatives? I still want to use my overgrip but would like the actual grip underneath to be a bit thinner. Thanks.

The purpose (or rather, limitation) of 2GB or less full SD card is more due to minor or potential compatibility issues with the softmod files. Once fully completed, SDHC are fine to use. CJ would have to speak more on point here, as usually that has to do with BootMii being fussy with the Wii (which is a non-issue on Wii-U because there isn't a version for that). WiiMod (and other similar wad managers) also at times can have issue with SDHC.
As to removal of the softmod to the vWii, we currently have no guide to do so. Usually it's more risk to remove something than to install something. It only affects the vWii side and leaves the Wii-U side untouched. Thus far, every single update has left the vWii untouched. The only (incidental, I might add) thing that's ever been affected is erroneously kicking in the 4:3 display rather than the 16:9 perspective with regard to HBC. And yes, the guide for the vWii addresses that in terms of a fix or work around.
On region locks, I can tell you on the classic Wii Priiloader featured region removal and loaders would support out of region game play. Pretty sure the Priiloader had less to do with retail games than say console purchases via Shop Channel and so forth. In other words, I believe so long as the loader supports out of region it should work. Again, I will yield any further opinions or answers to CJ (who actually owns a Wii-U).
Check out the vWii softmod guide here and read the entire thing. Welcome to the site

Nintendo says no Ambassador Program following Wii U price cut
"I know that this isn't what you were hoping for, but we appreciate your support of our products now and in the future," says Nintendo.
We'll begin emailing you updates about %gameName%.
Nintendo of America has said the company will not introduce an ambassador program for the Wii U, following the announcement of a price cut to the console last week.
Nintendo introduced the 3DS Ambassador Program to soothe customers who bought the handheld console for $249.99 before its $80 price drop in August 2011, and allowed eligible customers to download ten NES and GameBoy Advance games for free.
In an e-mail sent to Wii U daily, a Nintendo representative confirmed that "there are no plans for a similar program for Wii U."
"I know that this isn't what you were hoping for, but we appreciate your support of our products now and in the future," said Nintendo's Helena Toledo.
Last week Nintendo announced a $50 price cut for the Wii U Deluxe, roughly nine months after the console first launched, dropping the price of the 32GB console to $299.99, and also offering a bundle from September 20 with The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD included.
Following the Wii U price cut, the 8GB Wii U Basic model will be phased out.
The Wii U has sold 160,000 units worldwide between the start of April and the end of June, bringing its total to 3.61 million units overall.
Nintendo recently dated many of the console's upcoming titles, including Super Mario 3D World for November 22 and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for December 6.

Well after much deliberation with some of my friends and family, we have decided to create our own offshoot of Cop Block and so we have. Charlotte Cop Block Facebook page is up and running at https://www.facebook.com/CharlotteCopBlock
We have seen what the Cop Block Organization and its followers can do, so why not do the same thing for the wonderful City of Charlotte, NC? There have been too many times where cops have just trampled all over our constitutional rights and we have decided NO MORE! Before we were just followers, but after so many times of getting kicked back down by the hands that are supposed to "Serve & Protect" us, we decided that the City of Charlotte must be educated. We (friends & family) all sat down and talked this one out, we discussed how much does this really mean to us? Are we willing to go to jail for things we know we should not go to jail for, so on and so forth just to get this message out to people! And the votes were unanimous, we decided we will be wholehearted in what we do with this offshoot!
Now we were aware that there is already a Carolina's Cop Block, but we will be more area specific to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area.
The Facebook page is bare right now, but won't be in the coming days, we intend to have a Twitter, a YouTube, & a Scribd, and maybe in future months, if things go correctly a paid for website.
This is just a start, and Thank you to Cop Block and its creator's for giving us this opportunity to Branch Out (offshoot) like this with the logo and name. It will really help us out a lot!

I am not Jewish, but I have quite a few friends that are. I always like learning more about Jewish culture and traditions. Admittedly, there is a ton more that I need to learn. I'm semi-familiar with kosher requirements, but again, there's a lot I don't know. Recently a company announced that it is the first to certify its medical marijuana products as kosher. Per NBC News:
A New York company says it will soon offer the first certified kosher medical pot.
Vireo Health says its non-smokable medical cannabis products have been certified as conforming to the Jewish dietary law by the Orthodox Union.
Vireo says it's the first time a medical cannabis product has been deemed kosher.
The announcement of the certification resulted in some instant criticism on social media. My friend Claire had the best tweet I think:
All cannabis (like broccoli) already is #kosher by default. Duh. The evolution is in the obligation to end suffering. https://t.co/8Oye18hvKJ
— Claire Kaufmann (@rebrandingcanna) December 31, 2015
What do TWB readers think about the announcement? Does the certification matter? Is it just a marketing ploy, or is it a vital certification? Again, I don't know a lot about this topic, but I'm definitely interested to learn more. I look forward to reading your comments.

Mar 20, 2012 Sarah Hall Uncategorized
After voting 5 to 4 last week to keep the program, the Liverpool Central School District Board of Education decided at a Monday night budget work session to get rid of the FOCUS program as part of the 2012-13 budget. The vote was 7 to 2.
The alternative high school program, which provided classes for ninth- and 10th-graders this year but was intended to expand to include juniors and seniors in the future, opened in September in the former Wetzel Road Elementary building.
Board President Patricia DeBona-Rosier said the program couldn't be sustained in this economic climate.
"We don't have sufficient funds to make this program successful," she said.
More than 40 students attend the program for the 2011-12 school year. Once it is eliminated, they will either return to the main building or attend classes through Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES.
FOCUS stands for Free of Obstacles Creating Unlimited Success. The goal of the program is to reach students on the brink of dropping out and to reengage them in the educational system.
"The basic premise of the program is that we're trying to find a way to reengage students who have kind of lost interest in school," said Mark Potter, principal of the academy, in an interview at the beginning of the school year. "It is not students who have discipline issues in school. It is trying to find kids who have decided that school just doesn't have any value to them, so we're trying to reengage those kids back into education."
Students who attended the FOCUS program are identified through counselors in the district's middle schools and the ninth grade annex.
"The major criteria that we've used is kids who haven't found success, kids who've shown the ability to do the work but just have decided not to," Potter said in September. "Sometimes that's demonstrated by poor attendance, or disengagement in a classroom – they just don't engage in conversations or classroom discussions with the teacher or other students. They're kids who haven't really found success in a regular teaching model."
Also discussed at the work session were cuts to transportation and moving from full-day to half day kindergarten. Both ideas were rejected.

ST. PAUL, MN The one thing everybody knows about Saturdays practice at Wakota Arena in the southern outskirts of St. Paul is that Tyler Seguin wasnt working with his teammates on the ice.
Bruins coach Claude Julien said that the 20-year-old forward was at the practice with the team, but wouldnt elaborate on the reasons behind Seguin missing practice after the session was over.
Hell be fine, said a curt Julien. Hell be in tomorrow. Hes not at practice today. Hes at the rink and hell be fine.
The only think the Bs coach would say is that Seguin will be in the lineup for tomorrow afternoons tilt against the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center.
Seguin assisted on David Krejcis third period goal in Friday nights loss to the Winnipeg Jets and topped 19 minutes of ice time in the defeat, and didnt appear to suffer any injuries on the ice. Julien declined to simply call it a maintenance day for the Bs leading goal-scorer and All-Star, and wasn'toffering anything furtheron the absence.
You can call it whatever you want, replied Julien. Hes going to play tomorrow.
Unfortunately, given that Seguin was scratched against the Jets earlier this season for missing a team meeting, the vagueness of the answers begs the question of whether the players absence was for disciplinary reasons or rest-related.
Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron both skated with gold practice jerseys on without their third linemate, but Seguin wasnt spotted in the locker rooms post-practice our in the arena parking lot while Bruins players signed autographs for the large gathering of Bruins fans that took in the practice.

NEW YORK, June 24 (Reuters) - Spectra Energy said Monday it shut its 280,000 barrel per day (bpd) Express-Platte pipeline system at the end of last week due to communication problems caused by heavy flooding in Alberta, but restarted the lines over the weekend.
Spectra spokesman Phil West said the 280,000 bpd Express line, which carries Canadian crude from Hardisty, Alberta to Casper, Wyoming was down for slightly less time than the 164,000 bpd Platte line that continues to Wood River, Illinois.
Having shut on Friday both lines were restarted between late afternoon and early evening on Saturday, West said, adding no further disruption to the lines was expected from the Alberta flooding.

Respected Sir/Madam,
I am a 20 year old male. I had been experiencing this problem from the past 3-4 years. Sometimes, a mild pain suddenly starts in my groin area...with the epicenter being my left testicle. The pain stars to intensify with time.The pain is specifically in my left testicle, which radiates throughout the groin.At peak, i would rate the pain at 6-7 on a scale of 1-10, if 1 stands for no pain and 10 stands for unbearable pain. The duration of the pain is unpredictable. It can be approximated for a duration of 5-10 hours. But then the pain gradually disappears. It totally disappears. The frequency of this phenomenon can be once or twice in 2-3 weeks. Formerly i used to masturbate and the pain used to disappear after i ejaculated, but since a few months, the pain continues inspite of ejaculation. It takes its own time to subside. I never had any blood in my semen.The semen is white with a yellowish tinge. I never had any kind of sexual contact with any woman...not even foreplay.i even don't have painful erection or painful ejaculation. I never had blood in my urine. There are no lumps on my testicles. Please do look into this problem and give me an appropriate guidance.
Awaiting for you reply,
Yours sincerely,

Section 5731.19) The estate of a nonresident decedent must file estate tax forms 2 and 4 if the decedent owned the following types of property: real property situated in Ohio, tangible personal property having an actual situs in Ohio, and intangible personal property employed in carrying on a business within Ohio (unless exempted under R.C. section 5731.34) The filing requirements are the same as for a resident decedent, except the return may be filed directly with the county probate court where the Ohio property is located. When completing estate tax form 2, real estate and other assets, such as bank accounts situated outside of Ohio, should also be reported. Accordingly, when completing the estate tax form 2, describe and itemize all proper debts, expenses of administration and deductions. These deductions may include, but are not limited to, real estate taxes, mortgages and utilities located in and outside of Ohio. The nonresident tax base is determined by multiplying the tax due (as computed on the estate tax form 2) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the gross value of all property having a taxable situs in this state, and the denominator of which is the value of the gross estate wherever situated (line 1 of the estate tax form 2, page 1). Returns are required to be filed within nine months from decedent's date of death (see Extension of Time to File, below). All filings must be made in duplicate in the county where the principal portion of the property having a taxable situs is located. Tax and interest are paid at the county auditor's office, with the check drawn to the order of the county treasurer. Interest begins to accrue at variable rates nine months from the decedent's date of death regardless of the extended due date. The county auditor will calculate any interest owing. For dates of death Jan. 1, 2002 Dec. 31, 2012, 80% of the tax is distributed to the municipal corporation, village or township in which the tax originates, and 20% to the state of Ohio. For dates of death between Jan. 1, 2001 through Dec. 31, 2001, 70% of the tax is distributed to the municipal corporation, village or township in which the tax originates, and 30% to the state of Ohio. For dates of death before Jan. 1, 2001, 64% of the tax is distributed to the municipal corporation, village or township in which the tax originates, and 36% to the state of Ohio. Estates of decedents with a date of death on or after Jan. 1, 2000 are granted an automatic six-month extension, allowing them a total of 15 months to file the estate tax return. Any additional six-month extension must be requested in writing directly to the Estate Tax Unit on estate tax form 24 before the due date of the return. Interest on any estate tax due will be calculated from nine months from date of death regardless if the estate uses the automatic or additional extensions. To stop the accrual of interest, an estimated payment of tax may be made. Any inquiries may be directed to: Ohio Department of Taxation, Estate Tax Unit, P.O. Box 183050, Columbus, OH 43218-30504. You may also call 1-(800) 977-7711 or visit our Web site at tax.ohio.gov.

North America's largest garbage hauler is looking for Canadian partners to help create new technology that will convert waste to energy.
Waste Management Inc. , the Houston-based giant that owns thousands of garbage trucks and hundreds of landfill sites across the continent, is ramping up its search for small entrepreneurial firms in both Canada and the United States that can help broaden its business and cut down on the need for landfill sites.
The company's Organic Growth group, its venture investing arm, wants to expand its portfolio of investments in companies that are working on leading-edge technologies for creating renewable energy, expanding recycling, or managing waste.
It already has about 30 investments, a small number of which are in Canada. In 2010 it bought an 11-per-cent equity stake in Montreal garbage-to-gas technology firm Enerkem Inc., and last year invested $7.5-million directly in a commercial-scale plant Enerkem is building in Edmonton.
Waste Management has also invested in Harvest Power, a company with a plant in London, Ont. that converts organic waste to fertilizer and gas, which in turn generates electricity.
"We are trying to find technology providers," said Joseph Vaillancourt, managing director of the Organic Growth group.
The idea is to link up with smaller companies that conduct research and development on new waste technologies, rather than performing the R&D in-house. If the technologies are successful, they can be eventually integrated into Waste Management's day-to-day operations.
Waste Management is already a key player in turning waste into energy, using garbage dumps as the source. At about half of its 266 landfill sites in the United States and Canada, naturally forming methane gas is collected, and in many cases it is used to fire generators that produce electricity. Collectively, enough power is produced from the landfills to light up more than a million homes.
Mr. Vaillancourt said Waste Management's venture arm was established about five years ago, but the group quickly realized it didn't make sense to just buy up a new technology and immediately bring it inside the organization. It was far more effective to let the entrepreneurial companies continue their work, with support from Waste Management's practical expertise and, of course, its money.
It also became clear that there is no silver bullet for turning waste into energy, he said: Different technologies are suitable for different kinds of waste.
That means Waste Management will need a whole portfolio of technologies. "It isn't like we are trying to bet on the horse that will win. Our belief is that to win you need to have a chariot of seven horses," Mr. Vaillancourt said. The company has four significant investments just in the "gasification" field – the high-temperature conversion of waste to gas.
Waste Management will not disclose exactly how much it has invested in new technologies so far, but Mr. Vaillancourt said it is "many hundreds of millions." It generated more than $13-billion (U.S.) of revenue and about $1-billion of profit last year, with $258-million in cash at year-end, so it has deep pockets.
The new technologies will allow it to extract more value from the garbage it handles, while at the same time providing a much broader range of waste-treatment options to its customers.
Potentially, Waste Management could eventually control a suite of technologies that collectively turn all municipal and industrial waste into energy and other useful end products, thus eliminating any need for disposal at landfill sites, Mr. Vaillancourt said.
In addition to money and expertise, Waste Management can also supply something else that is critical to companies designing systems to convert garbage to energy – a custom-made stream of waste.
"With any of these companies, their conversion technology optimally works with a certain homogeneous source of waste," Mr. Vaillancourt said. "We have the ability to pre-sort it and process it for them. We can basically engineer a fuel for them."
Enerkem vice-president Marie-Hélène Labrie said the Waste Management partnership has helped accelerate her company's success "by facilitating access to waste feedstock and by providing expertise in the collection and management of a wide range of waste streams."
But Waste Management doesn't invest only in energy conversion technology. One of its initiatives is a social media venture called Recyclebank, an affinity program that hands out redeemable points to people who engage in specific recycling activity. Waste Management is also investing in solar-powered trash compaction technology, and innovative ways to dispose of medical waste.
And it is experimenting with semi-automated systems to separate the components of construction and demolition waste – a stream that makes up a large portion of all the garbage generated in North America.
Some of Waste Management's venture partners:
Enerkem Inc., Montreal
Technology that converts solid waste into biogas. The company has a demonstration plant in Quebec and is building a full-scale commercial operation in Edmonton.
Agilyx Corp., Oregon
Technology that converts low-value waste plastic into synthetic crude oil.
Harvest Power, Massachusetts
Takes organic waste and converts it to fertilizer and gas, which can be used to generate electricity. Has facilities in Ontario, B.C. and several cities in the United States.
BigBelly Solar Inc., Massachusetts
Sells solar-powered garbage compacters to reduce energy and transportation costs.
Recycle Rewards Inc., New York
Runs Recyclebank, a rewards program that issues points for eco-friendly activities such as recycling electronics or buying certain "green" products. The points can be redeemed for discounts and deals.

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- A state judge, in a decision made public Monday, again ruled Utah has to pay more than $5 million to the administrator of a polygamous sect's property trust.
District Court Judge Denise Lindberg denied a motion from the Utah Attorney General's Office to reconsider her Aug. 1 decision that the state cover the unpaid trust expenses that have accumulated since 2008, the last time the trust administrator, contractors or attorneys were fully paid, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
She noted the court had placed a lien on trust property requiring the trust to eventually repay whatever money the state pays out.
The newspaper said Attorney General Mark Shurtleff had argued taxpayers should not be responsible for the payments, saying the state acted in good faith when it took over the trust in 2005 amid allegations of mismanagement by Warren Jeffs-led sect trustees.
The report said Shurtleff's office could not be immediately reached for comment on whether it would appeal.
The trust is worth about $110 million. The Tribune said the trust holds nearly all the land, homes and businesses in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints home base of Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah.
The final disposition of the trust is now in federal court.

Every man, woman, and child, on every street in every town across America was affected in some way by the war. Even during the Great Depression there was enough food and products available, if only you could afford them.
As the US entered World War II during the winter of 1941, shortages began almost immediately. By necessity our economy shifted to war production almost overnight, and consumer goods were no longer top priority.
In the United States, nationwide food rationing was instituted in the spring of 1942, where each and every member of the family (including babies) were issued ration books by the Office of Price Administration (OPA). These books contained stamps and gave precise details of the amounts of certain types of food that you were allowed. Rationing insured that each person could get their fair share of the items that were in short supply due to the war effort and import reductions. By the end of the war, over a hundred million of each ration book were printed.
Types of rationing included: Uniform coupon rationing (sugar is an example) provided equal shares of a single commodity to all consumers; Point rationing provided equivalent shares of commodities by coupons issued for points which could be spent for any combination of items in the group (processed foods, meats, fats, cheese); Differential coupon rationing provided shares of a single product according to varying needs (gasoline, fuel oil); and Certificate rationing allowed individuals products only after an application demonstrated need (tires, cars, stoves, typewriters).
The Office of Price Administration (OPA) was in charge of rationing consumer goods such as sugar, coffee, shoes, household appliances, and other goods during World War II. The OPA accepted ration book applications and issued ration books, from which consumers tore out stamps in order to purchase food and other supplies at grocery stores.
Four different series of war ration books were issued. In 1942, five months after the United States entered the Second World War, "Book One" series were issued. In January 1943, "Book Two" series were issued. "Book Three" series were issued in October of 1943. And "Book Four" series were issued towards the end of 1943. Most ration restrictions didn't end until August 1945, with sugar rationing lasting in some parts of the country until 1947.
Citizens were asked to turn in old tires, raincoats, gloves, garden hoses, and rubber shoes for recycling. To save rubber, the government asked Americans to cut back on their driving, to save gas by driving more slowly, and to share rides. Gasoline was rationed nationwide in December 1942.
Anything using metal was rationed. Americans were urged to turn in scrap metal for recycling, and schools and community groups across the country held scrap metal drives.
Women were urged to save waste fat and greases and return them to butchers, who would pay for the fat and sell it to rendering plants so that it could be processed into explosives.
Paper was needed for packing weapons and equipment before they were shipped overseas. Scrap paper was collected.
Sugar was the first food to be rationed, as the war with Japan caused our nation's supply of sugar to quickly be reduced by more than a third. The Office of Price Administration issued 123 million copies of War Ration Book One, which contained stamps that could be used to purchase sugar.
In early 1943, the Office of Price Administration introduced a system for rationing canned goods which were needed for troops overseas, and also used our scarce metals. Each person had 48 points' worth of ration stamps per month for canned, dried, and frozen foods.
New ration books covered all the foods now rationed, which included sugar, coffee, red meat, dairy products, and fats.
Major purchases such as automobiles, bicycles, and kitchen appliances required special certificates and proof of need. Because the military needed so many typewriters for communication, even they were rationed.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A self-described Los Angeles entertainment entrepreneur is facing federal charges after allegedly bilking $7 million from the ex-wife of actor-comedian Eddie Murphy.
Troy David Stratos faces 14 charges of fraud, money laundering and obstructing justice. Stratos, 45, was arrested Tuesday and made his first appearance in Los Angeles federal court.
Federal prosecutors say Stratos told Nicole Murphy he would invest her money overseas, where it could earn more interest.
Stratos allegedly told Murphy he could sell her house in Granite Bay to Middle Eastern royals, and convinced her to lease luxury cars to spruce up the property. Stratos told her they would be sold with the house as part of a package deal.
But prosecutors say there was no deal. It was Stratos who used the house and the cars.
"Our investigation has been underway for a while," said US attorney Ben Wagner. "Unfortunately, as with a lot of these fraud schemes, by the time the victim is aware or has suspicions of fraud, a lot of the money has already been entrusted to the fraudster."
Stratos is awaiting arraignment on money laundering, wire fraud, and other charges. The wire and mail fraud charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, while the money laundering and obstruction charges carry 10-year maximum sentences.
Nicole filed for divorce from Eddie Murphy in 2005, after a 12-year marriage. They had four daughters and one son. She previously owned a home in the wealthy Sacramento suburb of Granite Bay, though court records say she now lives in Calabasas outside Los Angeles.

A conservative law firm based in Michigan has filed a petition to the Supreme Court seeking a hearing in the case of a Westview High math teacher who has challenged the Poway Unified School District's prohibition against banners with religious references in his classroom.
Richard Thompson, chief council with the Thomas More Law Center, said the petition filed Friday seeks an appeal to a lower court's decision that allows the district to prevent teacher Brad Johnson from hanging banners that read "In God we Trust" and other sayings in his classroom.
The public interest law firm is known for taking on religious freedom cases and represented Johnson in 2010 when a federal judge ruled that the teacher's constitutional rights were violated by the district. In September, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that decision.
The district has issued a statement defending its right to remove the banners, and an attorney for the PUSD said he will oppose the petition for a Supreme Court hearing.
Thompson said it may be nine months before the court decides whether to grant or deny a hearing.
"I would say that if they did take it up, our chances are very good that we'll succeed on this," he said in a phone interview Wednesday.
Thompson said the court receives about 8,000 petitions for hearings each year, and between 80 and 150 are granted.
Johnson has been a teacher in the Poway district for more than 30 years. He had displayed the 7-foot by 2-foot banners in his classrooms for much of his career before being asked to take them down in 2007.
One banner, originally hung in Johnson's classroom in 1982 when he taught at Mt. Carmel High, contains the phrases "In God We Trust," "One Nation Under God," "God Bless America" and "God Shed His Grace on Thee" written in red, white and blue stripes.
A banner created in 1990 reads "All Men Are Created Equal, They Are Endowed By Their Creator," a phrase from the Declaration of Independence.
In previous articles about the case, Johnson has told the North County Times that he created the banners "to celebrate the heritage of our country, that has God in our heritage, and as an acknowledgement of a supreme being."
Thomas More attorney Robert Muise filed a suit against the district on Johnson's behalf in 2007.
In February 2010, Federal District Court Judge Roger Benitez ruled in favor of Johnson and wrote in a 32-page opinion that district officials "apparently fear their students are incapable of dealing with diverse viewpoints that include God's place in American history and culture."
The district appealed the decision, which was reversed by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in September. Appeals court Judge Richard Tallman wrote that a school district does not infringe on First Amendment rights by ordering teachers not to preach their views on the role of God in the nation's history.
"The 9th Circuit decision was a horrible decision," Thompson said. "The decision by Judge Benitez was the right decision. If you allow the 9th Circuit Court decision to stand, it means schools can censor teachers' speech for whatever they want."
Thompson also said the ruling was unfair because other teachers are allowed to display religious items that are not Christian, such as Tibetan prayer flags.
In a statement issued Wednesday, PUSD Superintendent John Collins reiterated the district's position that it was right to remove Johnson's banners.
Also in the statement, school district attorney Jack Sleeth said he will file a written opposition to the petition to the Supreme Court.
"We believe that the Ninth Circuit properly followed the Constitution and Supreme Court case law in ensuring that all students have a proper environment for learning," Sleeth said in the statement. "The Ninth Circuit correctly found that teachers have no First Amendment right to espouse their personal religious beliefs in the classroom."

A garage owner who has been unable to work for almost five months said he is becoming "increasingly frustrated" in his decade-long call for a flood defence wall.
Mark Fishwick, who has run Penwortham MOT Centre in Leyland Road for 13 years, saw his business devastated within minutes when the River Ribble burst its banks on December 5.
It was the realisation of a decade-long fear that he tried to prevent by asking authorities for a barrier between the river and his business opposite.
Mark said: "It was a nightmare that day, within five or 10 minutes the whole garage was flooded and all the equipment was ruined. It's all in the hands of the insurance company, but we're talking at damage in excess of £100,000.
"Everyone was talking about Penwortham Holme flooding, but I was forgotten about.
"I haven't been able to open since December and I'm losing business hand over fist, but I've continued to pay the two lads working with me because I don't want to lay them off."
Mark said he, and nearby allotment owners, had been asking for flood defences opposite his property, beside the banks of the Ribble, for 10 years.
He said: "There's been an awful lot of to-ing and fro-ing between Lancashire County Council and South Ribble Council about who is responsible, and now it turns out that it's the Environment Agency.
"All we have at the minute at the side of the River are a few trees, but if a wall was built, we could stop a lot of risk, and it could also be extended down to Penwortham Holme. Those playing fields can't be used for half of the time because they're flooded, and it's no good the council doing lots of drainage work if there's no protection from the river."
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "We are currently managing a project that is looking at the potential for improving flood defences in the Penwortham.
"However, any proposed works must be prioritised alongside other flood prone areas in the area and across England. We have a limited budget for flood defences and so we need to make sure that every penny spent protects the maximum possible number of homes and businesses.
"We are aware of Mr Fishwick's position. We have spoken to him previously and have plans to meet him at his property for further discussions in the near future.
"It's important that householders and business owners prepare a flood action plan to be as resilient to flooding as possible"

text: Hiyo. I was just browsing the internet forums and I came across a thread. Then it got me thinking. This part is extremely beside-the-point. So anyways. What do you guys think about abstinence? That is, having sex until you're married. Internet gamers tend to share the same characteristics, such as a love for metal/rock, a hate for George Bush, and even the same views on abstinence. The current internet gamer view is they don't support it. But anyways, there's even a GPA (Goverment's Program on Abstinence) club at my school (in my opinion, half the people don't need to be in there ;O I'm not in it myself, 'cause I don't need a club to tell me what I am and ain't.). But I myself am abstinent. You guys? Be immature and I'll rip your eyes out of their sockets. Or at least I'll imagine myself doing so. So before anyone bes immature -- Don't.

I'm sorry to say that your code is anything but simple. All those tables and table cells make the page hard to debug. You have widths and sizes blowing out all over the place. I don't want to be mean, but truly, this page could be a lot simpler and neater with a pure CSS layout. I don't have access to IE at the moment, so I'm afraid I can't help with that right now.

text: I figured I would try to pull of a ghost run on Kobin's Mansion on Realistic. I was 100% successful up until the point where the video saying Sarah is displayed in the middle of the two sets of stairs, and there's 2 guards standing right at the start of the stairs. Does anyone know if there's a way past them? Its not that big of a deal because the very next part is to interrogate Kobin so you have to kill his guards, but it would be nice if there was a way around. Hell I can even grab Kobin without anyone noticing, but Sam just chokes him and puts him on the floor and then all his guards start shooting me.

Less Educated Bollywood actress
One of the highest paid actresses of the decade, Kareena made her film debut at the age of 20. After studying commerce for two years at Mithibai College, Kareena later developed an interest towards law. She then enrolled at the Government Law College, but left it after the first year to join Bollywood. Less Educated Bollywood actress
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
is a college dropout too. Aishwarya had always been an average student. She went to Jai Hind college for a year but later switched to some other college to pursue architecture. Soon she was offered many high end modelling assignments and film offers. Thus she left her studies mid way to join the Bollywood bandwagon.
did not complete her graduation in real life. For Deepika, Bollywood had always been her first calling. Deepika had joined Mount Carmel in Bangalore but never completed her studies there. She also enrolled for a short term course in IGNOU for further studies but could never complete it. Deepika, who has been tagged as the highest grosser of Bollywood,
never finished her graduation. The beauty queen has done her schooling from a number of places like USA and India. She wanted to be a criminal psychologist and joined Jai Hind college in Mumbai. But modelling and beauty assignments came her way too soon.
not only entered showbiz but also made it big there. Her passion and scintillating looks made her one of the most prominent stars of the 90s. However, very few of us are aware of the price she paid for this. Karisma allegedly dropped out of school soon after she entered sixth standard to pursue acting. Her first film was 'Prem Qaidi' when she was just sixteen.

As established under the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, funding under the Keystone Historic Preservation Project Grant program is available to nonprofit organizations and local governments for the planning and development for publicly accessible historic resources listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
The purpose of the grant is to support projects that identify, preserve, promote and protect historic and archaeological resources of Pennsylvania for both the benefit of the public and the revitalization of communities. These guidelines address only the historic preservation project-related program. Please review the separate guidelines for the Keystone Historic Preservation Construction Grants for information pertaining to the bricks and mortar program.
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission also annually uses a portion of the realty transfer tax revenue to rehabilitate and maintain Commonwealth-owned historic sites and museums.
The basic guidelines and general conditions for the Project Grant program are:
All applicants must be completed by Monday, March 1, 2017 on PHMC's eGrant application system. Applicants are also required to mail a hard copy of the eGrant application summary and required attachments to the PHMC. This additional submission must be postmarked by March 1, 2017. If the applicant is selected funding, their project period will extend from the date of execution of the grant agreement, approximately October 2017 to October 31, 2019.
Requests for funding to the Historic Preservation Project Grants may range from $5,000 (for $10,000 projects) to $25,000 (for projects of $50,000 and over) and require a 50/50 CASH match. The Commission may, at its discretion, consider applications for grants under $5,000 and may approve partial funding for larger requests.
Grants require a 50/50 CASH match in funds. Sources of the CASH match may include direct organizational funds or grant awards from private foundations, federal programs, or other state agencies. Salaries or wages paid to employees of the applicant are not considered to be cash contributions and cannot be included as matching funds! Although the cash match need not be secured when the application is made, evidence that the organization or municipality already has their match will be considered positively in the evaluation process. Applications that already have a full or partial cash matches show an investment on behalf of the organization and demonstrate institutional capacity for the successful completion of the project within the grant period. In-kind contributions may not be used to satisfy the matching requirement.
Eligible applicants may apply for only a Keystone Historic Preservation Project Grant OR a Keystone Historic Preservation Construction Grant, not both. Please note that the application due dates for both applications are March 1, 2017. Applicants meeting the relevant eligibility requirements may also apply for support through the Certified Local Government Grant Program.
Grant awards are subject to the annual availability of funds from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Funding is based on the state fiscal year, July through June.
The following are the types of organizations that are eligible to apply. Please check with the grant manager to confirm organizational eligibility.
More than one qualified subunit within a multipurpose organization may apply for funding during the same grant cycle.
Organizations and others that are not eligible to apply include:
To apply for a Keystone Historic Preservation Project Grant, an organization must meet the following requirements:
The property, building, or community for which funds are requested must meet the following requirements;
There are a number of general conditions for Keystone Historic Preservation Project Grants.
The following categories of support are broadly defined and include examples of the kinds of projects that may be considered for funding. The examples are by no means a complete list of eligible projects. Applicants are encouraged to discuss their project and ideas with the grant manager or their regional Community Preservation Coordinator.
Cultural Resource Surveys
Grant assistance is available for conducting cultural resource surveys. (Grants may not be used to prepare Historic Resource Survey Forms for determinations of eligibility to the National Register.) Surveys may be organized by municipal or county limits, by drainage area or physiographic zone (for archaeological surveys), by historic theme, or by property or site types. Projects must be conducted in accordance with the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office's standards, guidelines and documentation requirements. Contact the grant manager or regional Community Preservation Coordinator for advice on planning your survey. Consultants will be required to attend a special training session in Harrisburg, and this cost should be factored into the proposal. Examples of projects include:
National Register Nominations
Grant assistance is available for preparing nominations to the National Register of Historic Places for resources already determined eligible for listing by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. (Grants may not be used to prepare Historic Resource Survey Forms to establish eligibility) Nominations must be prepared in accordance with the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office's standards, guidelines and documentation requirements. Contact the grant manager for advice on planning your project. Preparers will be required to attend a special training session in Harrisburg, and this cost should be factored into the proposal. Examples of projects include:
Although nominations for individual properties will be accepted, evaluation for the proposal will be based on preservation goals rather than recognition that the Register may provide and will be weighted less than nominations for historic districts or multiple resources during the selection process. Competitive applicants in this category must demonstrate that listing will advance a preservation plan for the resource and is a stepping stone to a local historic district or similar goal.
Planning and Project Development Assistance
Grant assistance is available for predevelopment studies and planning for buildings or resources that are listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as a contributing property in a National Register Historic District. Community, municipal or regional preservation plans must be prepared in accordance with the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office's Guidance for Historic Preservation Planning. Examples of projects include:
Grant assistance is available to support activities that promote or enhance the understanding of Pennsylvania's prehistoric or historic archaeological resources. Archaeological projects can take the form of surveys, excavations, artifact analyses and various types of syntheses. Activities may not be associated with state or federal compliance projects; projects should meet the philosophy of Grant assistance is available to support activities that promote or enhance the understanding of Pennsylvania's prehistoric or historic archaeological resources.

Catholic Schools Teacher Cohort
"The Lynch Foundation Early Childhood Project has enhanced the entire program at Quincy Catholic Academy as we believe that the academic, social, and emotional skills developed in our early childhood programs build the foundation of learning upon which efforts in all grades rely. The partnership with Wheelock College enhanced these efforts by supporting our teachers and allowing them to grow professionally and cultivate their skills. This partnership has helped make our good early childhood program great!" - Catherine Cameron, Principal of Quincy Catholic Academy.
Catholic schools have made a significant commitment to improving the quality of Early Childhood Education in their classrooms across the Metro-Boston area. With funding from the Lynch Foundation, Aspire is collaborating with Wheelock's Early Childhood Education Department to enroll PreK-2nd grade teachers from Boston Catholic schools in the Wheelock Master of Science degree in Care and Education in Early Childhood Settings program. In exchange for free tuition (covered by the Lynch Foundation), teachers commit to work for the Catholic Schools for a minimum of three years upon receipt of their masters.
The first cohort of three Boston-area Catholic school PreK-2 teachers and leaders graduated in May with a Master of Science degree in Care and Education in Early Childhood Settings. Due to the success of the program, the Lynch Foundation announced that they will fund additional Catholic School teachers to begin the Master's program in January 2015.
The program is specifically tailored to meet the specific needs and interests of continuing practitioners who want to increase their knowledge of early childhood education and who have already obtained an initial teaching license or have an academic background in early education. As part of the program, participants take concentrated coursework in organizational leadership and in teaching English language learners and children with special needs.

DOVER — Nervously clinging to white paper in their hands before presenting their speeches for class office, members of the Dover Middle School seventh- and eighth-grade Student Council said they were excited to learn what a real politician does. They set up their school gymnasium for their presentations, moments before 1st Congressional District Congressman Frank Guinta arrived to open their ceremony.
"I'm hoping to hear how easy the job is," 13-year-old Priscilla Sombah joked, who was running for class secretary.
Vice presidential candidate Haley Demers, 13, said she sees politicking in her future, and hoped to hear some reliable pointers.
"I really want to hear what it's like for a professional to run for office, and see what that's like," she said.
When the Republican congressman arrived, hundreds of students applauded before listening quietly and attentively to Guinta's words, on what it's like to have a public life and how to use the official congressional voting card.
"I still remember the first day I knocked on my first door in Manchester," Guinta, referencing his days running for mayor of the city. "And I have to admit, I was a little nervous … Now it's easy for me to talk to hundreds of people, or even thousands or people, but it was a process and I learned."
He openly admitted he still gets nervous today, especially before televised debates.
"Guess what? Sometimes I actually make mistakes and that's OK, too" he said. "The most important thing is that I don't ever stop trying."
The congressman stayed for the whole of the Student Council speeches, which he said were inspiring and even educational for him.
"One thing I try to do is interact with my audience more," Guinta said.
Presidential candidate Cal Carver, an eighth-grader who took to the podium with dozens of students cheering, many sporting "Cal 4 President" stickers on their shirts, seemed to win over the gym with his ideas for fundraising for the Washington, D.C., field trip.
"I really want to make sure the students all have what they need, you know what I mean?" Carver told a reporter before his speech. "I want them to have what they need so they can be better students."
He pointed to members in the crowd, energetically, on his more striking points, which Guinta said is a wise tactic he may use. One girl said she was voting for Carver because he wasn't "one of the populars."
Another presidential candidate, Chase White, touted a catchy slogan, and ended his remarks with the phrase "Chase White matters," as a comedic take on the Chase card brand.
"These kids were phenomenal to get up in front of all of their peers and give energetic, positive, speeches about what they're going to do," Guinta said. "It is great to see. I give them all the credit in the world for being able to do that."
Hitting the campaign trail against his opponent Democrat Carol Shea-Porter this fall, Guinta also gave out his personal cell phone number to the crowd, telling them to call anytime, though he asked them to please make it during daytime hours. He also fielded questions from the student body.
One boy raised his hand and said his father asked him to ask the congressman what his views were on "illegal immigrants," which brought laughter from the crowd. Others asked where he thought the country was headed and which party he represented.
Seventh-grader Aiyana Brough, 12, approached Guinta at the end of the ceremony before heading back to class to cast her vote, inquiring as to what his stance is on educational policy.
"That's just something that's important to me and my family," she said afterward.
Guinta also delivered hundreds of copies of the U.S. Constitution to the school as well as an American flag he said was flown over the state capitol to honor social studies teacher Richard Barrett. Barrett will retire at the end of this school year, having worked 17 years at the middle school.
At the end of the day, teacher Jen Mone emailed Foster's revealing the final results of the students' votes. Cal Carver was elected president, with Garrett Downs the new class vice president, along with Veronica Scherer for treasurer and Emma Dodier for secretary.
