L. Renshaw Fortier
Lt.Col. (Ret) L. Renshaw Fortier
Virginia Beach - Lt.Col. (Ret) L. Renshaw Fortier, 88, died peacefully on Sunday, leaving behind a life lived fully and with enduring love. Ren, a longtime-resident of Virginia Beach, VA and Birmingham, AL, enjoyed several successful careers as an
officer, businessman, lecturer, author, community volunteer and lay minister.
An Army brat, he spent his teen years in France and Yugoslavia where his father served as an Army intelligence officer. At the outbreak of
World War II
, Fortier and his two sisters were forced to flee Yugoslavia just before Nazi Panzer divisions overtook the country. In his later years, he recounted those harrowing days, as well as the fascinating military careers of both father and son in the book, "Before the Fields of Crosses."
A graduate of West Point, he obtained his Master's Degree at
Vanderbilt University
. He served for twelve years in the US Army, followed by eight years in the reserves, where he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.
In 1966, Ren founded Teren Company, a management consulting firm that coached top corporate executives in the art of leadership. He lectured at such institutions as
Harvard University
, MIT, NY School of Finance, the Naval War College and Old Dominion University.
Active in the Virginia Beach community, he served as Chairman of the Board of Cape Henry Collegiate School, where he began a scholarship fund in his father's name. He served as chairman of the Finance Committee for the General Douglas MacArthur Memorial Foundation. He also served on the boards of the Princess Anne and Cenit banks, and on the advisory boards of Atlantic Shores Retirement Community, Lee's Friends and the Junior League of Norfolk/Virginia Beach.
While in Birmingham, he also chaired the organizing board of Trinity Counseling, a non-profit ministry dedicated to providing mental health services to those who are unable to afford them. He later retired as Director Emeritus.
A devout Catholic, he was a Knight of Malta. He was honored with the St. Pius X medal for his work with the National Catholic Laymen's Retreat League. He served as a lay minister and active member of the St. Francis Xavier Parish in Birmingham, serving on the Diocese of Birmingham's Finance and Human Resources Council.
During his later years, Fortier worked with Birmingham's Briarwood Presbyterian Church to establish and grow its Prison Ministry, working with inmates in maximum security prisons.
But his greatest career of all was as "Pere," the loving and devoted patriarch to his large and widespread clan. He enjoyed a wonderful life with his wife of 45 years, Maureen McGrath, his five children, their spouses, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
After Maureen died in 1994, he was graced with a second joyous life with his devoted wife, Peggy M. Conway. He was happily embraced by Peggy's two daughters and son, and eight grandchildren and one great grandchild.
In his own words, he felt that God had been especially kind to him. However, his family believes that they were the ones so blessed.
He is survived by his widow, Peggy M. Fortier; his son Richard J. Fortier and wife Nancy of Smithfield, VA; his daughter Claire Fortier and spouse Dr. Maria Pielaet of Redmond, WA; his son L. Renshaw Fortier, Jr. and his partner, Anna Brown; his son Louis Joseph "Chip" Fortier and his wife Karen of Virginia Beach; and his daughter Julia Fortier Houser of Virginia Beach. He is also survived by his stepdaughter, Arden Conway Richards and her husband, Don, of Birmingham, AL, his stepson, Michael Conway, and his wife, Louise, of Houston, TX; and his stepdaughter Pam Conway Nicastro, and her husband, Norm, of Hunstville, AL.
He is also survived by his two sisters, Solidelle Wasser, and her husband, Henry, of New York, NY and Margot Aicklen, and her husband, William, of Crescent Springs, KY.
He was predeceased by his first wife, Maureen McGrath Fortier, and son in law, Jack L. Houser.
A funeral mass will be held today at 2 p.m., at HD Oliver Funeral Apartments, Laskin Road in Virginia Beach. Burial with military honors will follow at the nearby Eastern Shore Cemetery.
In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Trinity Counseling at 1025 Montgomery Highway; #214; Birmingham, AL 35216 or Love and Caring Ministries at 2804 Salem Rd. Va. Beach, VA 23456.

Reuters: Huge protests against corruption in the Dominican republic17 July 2017 | 03:28 | FOCUS News Agency
Demonstrators, mostly young and dressed in the green color of the country's environmental movement, overflowed across a six-lane thoroughfare in Santo Domingo, waving the red, blue and white Dominican flag as they chanted demands for the president and other top officials to resign.
The protest was the biggest of seven demonstrations since January that followed an investigation revealing executives from Brazilian engineering company Odebrecht paid $92 million in bribes to officials from the poor country that shares a Caribbean island with the even more impoverished Haiti.
"The people have no legal recourse, we have no one to represent us. But the government can't repress them," said businessman Ivan Veloz Cabral, a 69-year-old owner of a small sportswear factory.
Odebrecht has paid $184 million in damages related to the bribery charges and 14 top officials and businessmen have been indicted in the case that has stirred up deep-seated anger over decades of suspected government corruption.
Temistocles Montas, a close ally of President Danilo Medina,and Victor Diaz Rua, the ruling party's treasurer, have been jailed and six others are under house arrest as they await trial. The others who were indicted are out on bail.
Montas, who denies wrongdoing, resigned as trade minister after the charges.The scandal is weighing on the ruling Dominican Liberation Party, which will face a presidential election in 2020.

How do you ensure conservation of a species that spends less than half of its life on protected breeding areas? The first step is to learn where they go. That is not so easy when working with an organism like the golden-cheeked warbler, a Neotropical migrant that weighs one-third of an ounce (a little less than 10 g). Recently, biologists attached tiny light-level recorders to golden-cheeked warblers from five protected breeding populations in Texas to discover the wintering grounds and migratory pathways of this endangered species. Dr. Jim Mueller, I&M Zone Biologist, and Scott Rowin, Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge Biologist, are collaborating with biologists from Fort Hood (John Macey [project leader] and Nathan Grigsby), Camp Bullis (Shannon Carrasco), Texas A&M University (Dr. Ashley Long), and Tarleton State University (Dr. Roger Wittie). More information about the project is highlighted in the feature at Backpacks for Birds.
Paige Schmidt gives presentation at Louisiana State University; serves as mentor to Native Student Professional Development Program
Dr. Paige Schmidt was recently invited by Louisiana State University's School of Natural Resources to provide a seminar. Her presentation, "The role of science in the National Wildlife Refuge System: examples from Oklahoma and Texas" was well received. The examples she discussed included snowy plover monitoring at Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge (NWR); evaluation of environmental DNA to determine the distribution and abundance of aquatic karst species at Ozark Plateau NWR and the Ozark Highlands Emphasis Area; standardized surveys of white-tailed deer at 3 refuges; the development of a duck-energy-model to determine how management decisions influence energetic carrying capacity for wintering waterfowl at Sequoyah NWR; and evaluation of forest and landbird monitoring data at Little River NWR. In addition to her presentation, Paige met with undergraduate and graduate students to discuss internship and career opportunities in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Many faculty were particularly interested to know what skills she felt were most important for recent undergraduates so they could ensure students leaving their program would be well-trained for today's natural resources issues.
Previously, Paige attended the 23rd Annual Wildlife Society Conference, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Paige is an active member, former Chair, and current Secretary/Treasurer of TWS' Native Peoples' Wildlife Management Working Group which is composed of wildlife professionals and students, tribal and non-tribal, who recognize native people's cultural, spiritual, and ecological connections to the land. TWS and the Working Group have been exploring ways to promote the development of indigenous wildlife students; both believe one of the most-effective ways to support indigenous wildlife students is to give them an opportunity to attend and participate in TWS's Annual Conference – the largest gathering of wildlife professionals in North America. TWS, with support from multiple federal agencies, implemented a competitive Native Student Professional Development Program. Individuals selected for this program receive grants to cover costs of conference attendance along with a one-year membership in TWS and the Native People's Wildlife Management Working Group, subscription to The Wildlife Professional and The Wildlifer, discounts on TWS peer-reviewed publications, and access to the TWS website, blog, career center, mentoring program, and other online resources. During the conference, participants are mentored through the working group. Paige has served as a mentor to program participants for several years and considers this to be one of the most important aspects of her attendance at the annual conference.
Butler and Moon receive honors at the Texas Chapter of TWS
The Texas Chapter of the Wildlife Society met in February 2016 and recognized Dr. Matthew Butler as lead author for the "Best Technical Publication". Specifically, the publication is the I&M protocol for surveying whooping cranes at and around Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas (get protocol). Co-authors include: Cinthia Eichhorn, the talented Data Manager and GIS expert for USFWS southwest, and Brad Strobel, now the head biologist at Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin.
Dr. Jena Moon, Texas Gulf Coast Zone Biologist, was voted in as the Vice President of the Texas Chapter of the Wildlife Society! Jena is an excellent selection for the Board, given her hard work, dedication to wildlife management, and effective collaboration with the public, private landowners, state and federal agencies, and non-profit organizations. In her role, Jena is anticipated to promote a positive public image for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Texas Chapter of the Wildlife Society, and the wildlife profession.
Congratulations to Matt, Cinthia, Brad and Jena!
Southwest Inventory and Monitoring Program assists with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service banding program
During the month of August 2014, Region 2 Division of Biological Science's Jeremy Edwardson (Wildlife Biologist, Okmulgee, OK), partook in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's high priority waterfowl banding program in Canada. The waterfowl banding program is a large-scale effort that is essential in monitoring migrating waterfowl and provides crucial information on migratory bird hunting and harvest assessments. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service representatives and other organizations from across North America gather to assist with the banding program every year and is part of a cooperative agreement among Canada, United States, and Mexico.
Big Grass Crew preparing for a banding session
Jeremy participated on the banding crew based at Big Grass Marsh near Plumas, Manitoba. This 12,400 acre marsh is owned and managed by Ducks Unlimited, and was the first large scale Ducks Unlimited restoration project in Canada. The crew also consisted of Chad Carlson (Biological technician, Sand Lake NWR), Seth Fisher (Wildlife Biologist, Tensas River NWR), and crew leader, Rob Spangler (USFWS Pilot – Wildlife Biologist, Lakewood, CO). In addition, the crew was supported by Canadian Wildlife Service employee, Darin Walker. During the 2014 Big Grass Marsh banding season, a total of 287 trap nights (August 6-26) resulted in 4,109 ducks banded (870 Mallards, 2,893 Blue-winged Teal, 180 Redheads, 90 Canvasbacks, 50 Wood Ducks, 10 Northern Pintail; 4 American Green-winged Teal, 4 Ruddy Ducks, 3 American Black Ducks, 3 Mallard – American Black Duck hybrids, 1 Northern Shoveler, and 1 Lesser Scaup).
A full trap of ducks near Big Grass Marsh, Manitoba
This detail provided program participants hands on training and strengthened teamwork characteristics. Specifically, Jeremy was able to develop a larger network of contacts, improved waterfowl identification and capture techniques, strengthened live bird handling experience, and provided opportunities at obtaining airboat operating hours towards his airboat operator certification. All of which will support his role of supporting Oklahoma refuges and the Division of Biological Sciences.

Despite varying challenges, crews scattered throughout Canada were able to work together and resulted in a successful banding effort for 2014. The crews' efforts played a significant role in assisting one of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services' main mission of managing waterfowl.
Crews overcame high water challenges and focused efforts on more productive locations

Monitoring Ocelots in Tamaulipas Mexico
In 2012, the USFWS entered into a binational partnership with the Civil Society for the Conservancy and Development of Natural Areas (CDEN), Friends of Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, Gladys Porter Zoo, and (in 2013) the San Antonio Zoo. This partnership was formed to locate a large population of ocelots in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico, to assess if it might be able to serve as a potential source for translocation to smaller, at-risk populations such as the ones located in south Texas.
A collage of a few representative photographs of the wild felines photographed as part of the study in coastal Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Ocelots are endangered in the Texas mostly due to a loss of their habitat, most of which occurred from the 1930's to the 1960's. Collisions with vehicles also pose a threat. While both of these issues are being countered with efforts in Texas, the looming threat of a significant loss of their genetic diversity, that occurred over a long period of time, needs to be addressed. Studies suggested that the most appropriate source for re-establishing the historic genetic diversity of ocelots in Texas would be from the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, and translocation of wild ocelots has been suggested as an option to achieve this goal.
As with any reintroduction project, there are several items that must be considered carefully. Among those considerations are the appropriateness of the genetics of the individuals to be introduced, an assessment of disease presence and risk from both recipient and source populations, and arguably most importantly, maintaining the integrity of the source population.
A relatively dense population of ocelots was discovered about 3 hours south of the Texas/Mexico border, in the low sierras along the coast of Tamauliaps. The great diversity of species in the area is a sign of the quality of the habitat – including jaguar, puma, jaguarundi, bobcat, white-tailed deer, javelinas, and turkey among others.
An adult female ocelot and her kitten photographed as part of the study in Tamaulipas.
CDEN, our partners in Tamaulipas, used game cameras to capture photographs of ocelots and identified individuals based on fur patterns. They counted 20 ocelots in a relatively small area, equating to a density of 1 ocelot/4.92km2. An estimate of the surrounding ocelot habitat and an extrapolation of the ocelot density provided a very conservative estimate of 117 ocelots in the metapopulation of the surrounding area.
A series of simulations of scenarios with and without translocation of ocelots from this source population were conducted as part of a Population Viability Analysis and the results were only a very low occurrence of negative effects to the source population. over 500 years.
The partnership has provided the data and a report to the government of Mexico on May 27, 2014, as requested in 2013, so that that they can assess the design, analysis and conclusions, and we will wait for their review. The partnership remains committed to maintaining an effective monitoring effort for this important ocelot population as well as the other species in this rich wildlife community.
Little River Inventory and Monitoring Plan is Approved
Little River NWR completed their Inventory and Monitoring Plan (IMP) with a team including Refuge Manager David Weaver, Refuge Forester John Stephens, Zone Biologist Paige Schmidt, Regional I&M Coordinator Kris Metzger, Lead Biologist for National I&M Program Peter Dratch, Zone Biologist for Central and Eastern Texas Jim Mueller, Zone Biologist for Great Plains Bill Johnson, and Wildlife Refuge Specialist at Caddo Lake NWR Jason Roesner. This effort served as the pilot IMP for Region 2 and was the first IMP approved in the region. Further, Mark Chase presented this IMP to Rowan Gould when he briefed him on the National I&M policy. Service staff can log into ServCat at https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/ to download a copy of the Plan or to search other approved IMPs.

Tides, Marsh Tales, and Mud Pies?
As a child my mother told me I would never have a career that kept me playing in the mud…..well she was only partially right. The mud of Texas coastal marshes hold the secrets of times gone past. We are currently starting a study of sediment depositions and elevation levels to understand past and current perturbations from widespread weather events such as hurricanes and long-term trends of climate change.
The Gulf Coast has suffered extensive loss of coastal marshes since human settlement. Where marsh loss has not been directly caused by rising sea level and other anthropogenic activities, it has been caused by a shift from emergent wetland vegetation to mudflats and open water due to salt water intrusion. Sea level rise, subsidence, and anthropogenic hydrological alterations have changed the environmental parameters that historically regulate coastal marsh function, resulting in their degradation. Global climate change additionally poses significant long-term threats to coastal marsh habitats and species that are dependent on those habitats along the Texas coast.
So how do we measure changes in marsh elevations? We measure elevation changes in coastal marsh with a Surface Elevation Table (SET for short).
SETs use a stable platform and a rotating horizontal arm to detect changes in elevation of the marsh surface. The arm is a portable mechanical leveling device for measuring relative sediment elevation changes. The arm has a series of pins that are dropped to the soil surface and then provide researchers with accurate and precise measurements (mm resolution) that are always taken in the exact location.
Over time these measurements can be mapped and then can provide trends of surface change over time.
This work is important because most climate change models are predicting appreciable sea-level rise along the Texas Gulf Coast. NOAA National Water Level Observation Network tide stations indicate that sea-level rise is not occurring at congruent levels along the entirety of the Texas Coast. Sea-level rise estimates from the Port Isabel tide station indicate a sea-level rise of 1.97 mm, well under the global average of 3.1 mm per year. However, tide stations near Galveston, Texas estimate sea-level rise to be occurring at 6.84 mm per year, over twice the global average. Because the rate of sea level rise for the upper Texas Coast is greater than the global average, it likely reflects the additional impact of local land subsidence due to oil and gas activities or ground water extraction. This information will allow the I&M program to improve climate modeling efforts on National Wildlife Refuges to improve species specific management such as those for whooping cranes and mottled ducks. Additionally, it will allow biologists and managers to better plan and carry out future conservation efforts.
In addition to SETs, coastal I&M staff have assisted in the collection of soil cores for vertical profiling of Cesium-137. Cesium occurs in distinct layers due to fall-out from nuclear testing in the 1940s-early 1960's. In 1963 the Test Ban Treaty outlawed nuclear testing, which now is allowing geologists to use this unique signature within the soil profile to map long-term soil changes, aggradation and subsidence rates in coastal marshes.
We have collected several samples from Chenier National Wildlife Refuges Complex, Texas Mid-Coast Refuges Complex, and Aransas National Wildlife Refuge for analysis. This project aims to further our understanding of the impacts of sea-level rise, altered hydrology, and subsidence on coastal marshes by establishing a series of SET benchmarks and vegetation monitoring sites on coastal National Wildlife Refuges. The collected data will be compared to local rates of sea-level rise as observed through the National Water Level Observation Network tide stations. he data collected for this project should be able to measure minimum detectable changes in aggradation and subsidence that are significantly less than this observed rate of sea-level rise, and will provide valuable site level information regarding the effects of these processes in a variety of marsh types as well as insight to potential impacts on their future condition. Information collected will be used to improve conservation planning and management actions (e.g., restorative efforts, prescribed burning, etc.) within the coastal zone and to improve climate models (e.g., Sea-level Affecting Marshes Model).

The prices of used vehicles have been increasing steadily for the past six months but this upward pattern stopped in April, according to the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index. The index in April was at 126.1, a slight drop from 126.2 in March and is lower than the 126.6 in April 2011. The reading in April marked that for the first time in six months (since October), the index indicated a monthly drop. The index reading of 122.8 in October 2011 had been the lowest recorded in 2011.
Last May, the record index reading of 127.8 was attained. The prices of used vehicles increased because of low used-vehicle inventory and high gasoline prices, raising the demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. Some analysts had predicted in April that used-vehicle prices would follow seasonal patterns and will hit a peak in late April or during May. They will also begin to gradually drop in June. What the Manheim index measures are changes in wholesale used-vehicle prices. They're adjusted for time of year, mileage and vehicle model mix. On the other hand, a report from CNW Marketing Research of Bandon, Ore., stated that overall used-vehicle sales increased by 40% to 3,792,604 in April compared to the previous month. It's also 7% higher than sales in April 2011.

The Chelsea crew are crossing the pond as they relocate to the United States for the summer season.
As ever, cameras follow the elite group who, according to their Twitter accounts, have spent two months visiting bars rather than tourist attractions.
We caught up with biscuit heir Jamie Lang Stateside and asked what he's been up to.
"I was born to live in New York," he enthuses.
"I was sitting in a rooftop bar the other day thinking, 'If I could do this for the rest of my life, I would'.
"We've had a brilliant time. American girls are great.
"You have to really compliment them, though, whereas in London we tend to make fun of them and tease them.
"But the New York girls aren't big on irony so you have to be careful about that, which is fairly hard for me and the boys as we're quite sarcastic!
"They love my accent.
"Spencer and I and most of the boys are single at the moment so we've been having a lot of fun out here."

Many clients ask us if they need a mobile website (for smartphones and tablets) to go along with their desktop site. The short answer is yes. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to navigate a desktop-only website on your smartphone. Many users simply give up.
Beyond the user-friendly aspect of a responsive site, mobile internet usage is only going to increase. By 2020, 3.84 billion will have access to the mobile internet, meaning they'll go online using a tablet or smartphone, according to a PwC study. There's no question that you should have your website optimized for mobile users. This will ensure your web marketing is more future-proof.
Depending on how much you want to customize your tablet or mobile experience, the initial cost and time invested might be a bit more (although not much more). By optimizing for mobile, you are giving yourself an advantage over many of your competitors.
When developing for a mobile device, the developer has to consider some of the issues that come along with mobile website development. Some of these issues include: the small size of the screen, the number of devices out there, the slower processor speed, the fact that people use their thumbs or fingers to navigate, and many other factors.
A mobile website can be developed as a separate site or as an alteration of a current site. For the best user experience, it is better to have just one site. If the user accesses the site on a mobile device, the browser will detect the screen size and automatically modify the site to be a mobile friendly version. This is what we call responsive design and development.
When interviewing web development companies, ask to see their responsive sites on a desktop, tablet and smartphone.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a man apparently committed suicide behind a district office of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's near Tampa.
A deputy on routine patrol Tuesday night found the body of a man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a side entrance to the sheriff's Citrus Park office.

NFP. No hormones is important and the only non-hormonal birth control has a ton of side effects.

I'm on the shot and love it. Mirena was the worst thing ever. I can't have estrogen based bc myself.

I have mirena and love it. I have been on the pill and the shot and really didn't like those. Good luck with whatever you decide to use!

Screen Innovations Keeps On Taking Projectors Out of the Dark; Adds International Distribution
Viságe Screen Allows for Projector Use in Bright Light Environments
Austin, Texas - March 8, 2006 - Screen Innovations, a manufacturer of premium residential and commercial theater projection screens, has received critical acclaim with the release of the Viságe front projection screen. The Viságe screen's front projection technology offers a patented filter that allows for viewing in the brightest of environments. The company has also launched a worldwide distribution initiative to bring its breakthrough projection viewing technology to home theaters and commercial environments around the globe.
In addition to the company's preexisting relationship with Canadian -based distributor Precor, Screen Innovations has entered into distribution agreements with Radionic Distributors in South Africa and Trends4U in Switzerland. This is a major step towards reaching Screen Innovations' goals to be a worldwide brand in over 15 countries in 2006.
"We new we had a world -wide winner when we rolled out the Viságe front projection screen," said John McCumber, chief executive officer of Screen Innovations. "The Viságe screen adds a powerful tool to any Electronic System Contractor's equipment offering and allows our dealers to better serve their clients needs by being able to specify front projection systems regardless of the amount of ambient light in the client's home or commercial property. We're very pleased to offer this product domestically and abroad."
The Viságe screen has garnered positive feedback from the industry press as well as from many of Screen Innovation's dealers across the country, who are now completing the first installations of this remarkable projection screen product. The Viságe has single -handedly created a new market for front projectors in both the residential and commercial arenas. Being able to capture full color and contrast images in brightly lit environments was unheard of just several months ago. But thanks to the patented technology incorporated in Screen Innovation's Viságe screen, projectors can now come out of the dark to find a whole new set of applications that appeal to clients at home or at work.
One of the first residential projects to incorporate the Viságe screen was recently installed by Audio Video Integrators of Cedar Falls, South Dakota. Jerry Cook commented: "When our guys installed the Viságe screen, it was the best opportunity to see the product in action in a 'real -world' application. The screen is doing a phenomenal job and our client was pleased about being now able to use his two -piece projection system during the day."
Audio Video Integrators installed the Viságe screen in the home of Joe Zueger, president of Workplace Technology Center, a commercial custom installation firm which specializes in boardrooms. Zueger was so impressed with the Viságe's performance that he's in the process of becoming a Screen Innovations dealer. He stated: "The install went very well, and the screen looks really good. It's certainly usable during the day, as I watched the Target Challenge the first Sunday after the product was installed. I plan to install several of these fantastic Viságe screens in our commercial operation -they're perfect for boardroom settings."
Screen Innovations' front projection Viságe screen takes projectors out of the dark by enabling a realistic, big -screen film experience in the brightest of environments. Through a patented filter, Viságe absorbs incidental light from windows and lights to achieve 10 times the contrast of ordinary screens. As a result, the projected image is virtually unaffected by ambient light. A highly versatile product with extraordinary capability, the Viságe sets the stage for unprecedented viewing in any environment, both commercial and residential.

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history.
– Abraham Lincoln
The Augusta Chronicle has been covering U.S. presidents since the first one, George Washington, whose election was reported in this newspaper in April 1789.
What better way to celebrate Presidents Day weekend than with a Presidents Day Quiz.
I offer a collection of some of my favorite presidential quotations, and I'm asking you to consider the clues and guess who said them.
I'll give you one general hint: Most of the presidents quoted never visited Augusta.
Here we go:
1. "A brave man is a man who dares to look the Devil in the face and tell him he is a Devil."
This president was a brave man. A war veteran, he was known to occasionally speak German in public addresses. Left-handed. He was: A.) John F. Kennedy B.) James Garfield C.) Thomas Jefferson. D.) Benjamin Harrison
2. "We do not need to burn down the house to kill the rats."
Speaking of rats, this president has been among the most rebuked by history. Outside the White House, however, he was known as an effective administrator. He was: A.) Herbert Hoover B.) Richard Nixon C.) John Adams D.) John Quincy Adams
3. "The greater our knowledge increases, the more our ignorance unfolds."
This president was known for inspiring speeches and war-time heroism. He died in office. He was: A.) William Henry Harrison B.) Abraham Lincoln C.) William McKinley D.) John F. Kennedy
4. "I know what I am fit for. I can command a body of men in a rough way, but I am not fit to be president."
One of America's most celebrated battle commanders. He actually turned out to be pretty fit to be president. He was: A.) Andrew Jackson B.) Ulysses S. Grant C.) Teddy Roosevelt D.) Zachary Taylor
5. "No man ever listened himself out of a job."
This was the president of few words. At one White House reception, a woman is said to have approached him and declared, "Mr. President, my friends have wagered I cannot get you to say three words." He looked at her and replied, "You lose."
He was: A.) Calvin Coolidge B.) Woodrow Wilson C.) Franklin Pierce D.) Dwight Eisenhower
6. "When you play, play hard. When you work, don't play at all."
A dynamic young president, aggressive in foreign and domestic affairs. One of his parents was born in Georgia. He was: A.) Teddy Roosevelt B.) Gerald Ford C.) Warren Harding D.) Chester Arthur
7. "I am a slow walker, but I never walk back."
Won two elections with different vice presidents. Lost a child while in office. Once had a saloon
license. He was: A.) James K. Polk B.) James Buchanan C.) Abraham Lincoln D.) William Howard Taft
8. "I know two tunes. One is Yankee Doodle and the other one isn't."
Incredibly popular when elected, this president's White House years are now diminished. Successful in war. He was: A.) Ulysses S. Grant B.) Andrew Jackson C.) Dwight Eisenhower D.) Grover Cleveland
9. "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
Blunt and beloved after he left office, this president was a vice president who rose to the challenge after the president died. He was: A.) John Tyler. B.) Harry Truman C.) Millard Fillmore D.) Andrew Johnson
10. "To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs that have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression."
One of the smartest presidents, he supported a free press. He was not all that tall. He was: A.) Martin Van Buren B.) John Quincy Adams C.) James K. Polk D.) James Madison

Super Foods seem to be the big rage these days. It seems that many nutritionists and other natural health practitioners are talking about super foods. The issue I see is that all these super foods being promoted are vegan. Some vegan foods are super healthy, but from the research I have done, the best diet for most people includes animal proteins and animal fats.
These vegan super foods are healthy, but one can not live on them and they are lacking or are deficient in several vitamins and minerals found only in animal foods such as Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, Iron and Zinc.
The vegan super foods most talked about are spirulina, chlorella, turmeric, raw cocoa, wheat grass, beets, lemons, apple cider vinegar, moringa leaf, matcha green tea and maca. As I stated above, these foods are wonderful and healthy, but for most of us, we need a mixture of super foods from plants and animals.
Chlorella is a top notch super food. Follow this link to read a wonderful article about Chlorella, written by Kate Forsyth. Super Chlorella!
Some of my favorite super foods that will give your body and mind the key nutrients to be full of energy and vitality include the following: grass fed red meat, pastured eggs, wild fish, oysters, raw honey, avocados, cod liver oil, fresh vegetable juice, raw butter, raw olive oil, bone broth, and berries. All these foods need to be organic, hormone free, GMO free and pastured raised to ensure that you are obtaining the best and most nutritious foods available.
Start off with eating more pastured eggs and making fresh vegetable juice. Later, incorporate some wild fish and grass fed red meat. Eat one tablespoon of local raw honey every day. Make some bone broth and find a source of raw butter. Make my favorite power smoothie/pudding: one avocado, a cup of berries and 2-3 raw eggs, all blended together in a blender. This smoothie/pudding is a power house of nutrition!

About: Royal Preston Hospital Royal Preston Hospital Preston PR2 9HT
Posted via NHS Choices
My 4 month old son was admitted to ward 8 paediatrics, after 5 hours in a&e we sat for 4 hours in paediatrics assessment before being told we were to stay overnight, they were very busy so we expected the wait which we was ok about until I was asked if I wanted a sandwich as hadn't eaten all day to then be told 'oh sorry you don't breastfeed so we're not allowed to feed you'- I thought this was unfair and discriminative to women who can't breastfeed although obviously due to cuts in budgets. Other than this we found most of the nurses and staff to be fab explaining everything as they were going along although there was one that never said a word and when asked a question brushed me off and then disappeared- due to the time I think she was finishing her shift. During our four day stay we were overall impressed with the paediatrics ward and the way they cared for my son and myself making me actually go and eat something rather than chaining myself to my baby's bedside!! Overall a good experience!
Response from Rhona Hartley, Head of Patient Experience and Customer Care, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 3 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to tell us of your largely positive experience when your son was admitted to the Children's Ward. I have shared your comments with the Matron for Child Health, who will feed back your positive comments, together with those where our communication could have been better with all staff in the department.

My Profile
I was born in Bolton Greater Manchester, i am 33 years old and currently learning joinery and bricklaying at blackburn college. In the near future i wish to become a builder and have my own business. I have 4 brothers and 1 sister all are married and have plentyful children. most days i pass time at home with the children causing a meyhem, but recently i have had more time as they are moving to there own homes and growing up. i myself had a child who passed away.
My reasons for joining to help people has come about by noticing the problems and overall distruction of humanity by our peers. growing up i have noticed i always wanted to help someone if i see some one struggle i try to help if its in my reach. i simply want to get out there more to really make a diffrence. when i know i have done something that has made a positive change in someones life or wellbeing it makes me feel at ease as i myself struggle with depression. well thats he medical term for it. but i say its just what people do to others that makes them hurt, and my way to deal with the pain is to be around those that need support.

Things I liked: Amount of oil, it works as advertised and seems to cling to metal very readily. Lubes nicely, also prevents rust and works wonders for cleaning barrels combined with a felt pellet. Doesn't make a big mess if you use a dropper bottle, but you need to be careful with the bottle itself, and make sure you close it so it doesn't spill. You don't want to lose a drop of this stuff!
Things I would have changed: Include an eyedropper or needle-bottle with this, as it's the best way to apply this oil to cleaning pellets and small spots on your gun. Other than that, not a thing, it's perfect.
What others should know: This works just as well as the Beeman branded MP5 oil, and I'm pretty sure it's the same oil. Just get this stuff, it's fantastic and works great for any metal. It's pretty good for cleaning too.

Is this safe to use on firearms?
I've been using it on them for decades. It's more for rust prevention than anything, which includes cleaning off finger prints. It also makes a pretty nice bore cleaner. Good stuff imo.
can I use it to clean my disco 22 without ruining the o ring on the bolt??
Yes, as long as you are careful when using it, it shouldn't be a problem

Hey Gary and all, I trimmed Palmetto, Inner loch ness (was pretty bad), and part of West meadow. Did about 2 hours total. I rode randy's trail, spider berm, golf cart, and loch ness and all were good. the climb after the bridge on loch ness to upper loch ness is washing out again, but it is OK going the other way. Darrin
I had not rode inner loch ness for a long time , so I was glad to do it. It is a pretty good trail. Yeah I saw that edge you are talking about garry, it was not pretty. The bridge over the creek area was actualy very rideable today I was impressed. Is that tree going to stay on west meadow as well? it looks like it has been there awhile...
The tree Darrin referred to on West Meadow is right after Randy's Trail splits off (if riding around Loch Ness clockwise). I cut the debris around it 2 weeks ago to make it rideable, but it's a chainring grinder and trickier if coming at it from the other direction.

Tux Paint is extensible. Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can be dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop in a collection of animal shapes and ask their students to draw an ecosystem. Each shape can have a sound which is played, and textual facts which are displayed, when the child selects the shape.
There is no direct access to the computer's underlying intricacies. The current image is kept when the program quits, and reappears when it is restarted. Saving images requires no need to create filenames or use the keyboard. Opening an image is done by selecting it from a collection of thumbnails.

Salans last week continued its programme of ramping up internationally with a 14-lawyer raid on Haarmann Hemmelrath in Shanghai.
The group hire follows the firm's acquisition of Travers Smith's entire Berlin office, including partner Karl Pilny, which joined on 1 January.
Salans' Shanghai office now comprises four partners and 18 associates and other legal staff. The new Haarmann team, which includes corporate partners Bernd-Uwe Stucken and Dai Jun, strengthens its experience in M&A, real estate, tax and IP law.
The hires fit with the firm's strategy of focusing on emerging markets such as Russia, China and Central and Eastern Europe and linking them to the main financial centres in the West.
The most recent hires follow the capture of Haarmann's 13-partner Berlin office in January 2006, a deal that was instrumental in the move of the Shanghai team.
Salans London managing partner Stephen Finch said: "Having taken the Berlin office of Haarmann there was a level of comfort for the lawyers in Shanghai; we already knew of them and their capabilities."

Check Kevin Rose's of the Dodocase for iPad, one of the more gorgeous things I've run across recently:
Schumpeter defined innovation as the formation of new connections which drive economic growth. In The Nature of Technology, Brian Arthur reinforces this idea by saying that all new economic ideas build on the combination of things that already exist. In this case, Dodocase has come up with an innovative craft-based business model by combining the idea of artisan book-binding techniques with the new technology of the iPad. Both of these are then combined to answer the question 'what if our iPad case looked like a Moleskine notebook?'
There is so much emphasis these days on getting to scale that we often lose sight of the value of craft. Here is the video that documents the construction of the outer case – you can see the craft in the process:
The bamboo part of the case obviously requires some skill to build as well.
The really interesting part of the Dodocase story to me is the price: it lists for about $60 US – which as about as much or less than you'd pay for nearly all of the mass-produced iPad cases that are available. Traditionally, we've often thought that the problem with craft-based business models is that it is a much more expensive way to produce things.
But as the Dodocase shows, this is not always the case. The real problem with craft is that it is slower. There is currently a 4-6 week wait list to buy one.
Innovation is about coming up with new combinations of ideas. They don't always have to be cutting-edge things. The Dodocase is a great example of combining ideas that have been around for a long time – people have been binding books in this way for centuries, and the Moleskine-style design has been around for ages as well. They've combined these two ideas to come up with something that is unique.
And pretty cool…

Definitely helps to know your distance.

Very Accurate and a great price
I received my Sky Caddie a couple of weeks ago and have played 3 times since. It works great. The yardages for doglegs and hazards has saved me tons of strokes. I recommend the SGX to any level of golfer, it's well worth the price.
ProsPrice, accuracy and ease of use.
ConsMy Birdie membership only covers courses in Canada. If I cross the border into the states I have to pay an extra $35.00 to get those courses.

Just what I was looking for......
First I would like to say that I'm a 18 handicap player. The SkyCaddie SGX is very precise just like what they say in there infomercial. For the first time in life I have hit several greens in regulation while playing golf all do to the SGX, now if it could only putt for me,my score would go down even more. I am very impressed how easy it is to use and set-up. The other thing that I was impressed with is the service I received from rock bottom golf, ordered my SkyCaddie on a Monday night had it at home Thursday morning, can't get any better.
ProsHow precise it is. Light weight. How easy it is to use.
ConsNothing yet.

Definitely A Must Have
Having a GPS really takes the guess work out of distances and hazards in play, it is also really nice having actual hit distances off the tee. It also has helped me in my short game by having exact distance from the tee, Front/Center/Back of green and actual placement, when chipping. That makes me more consistent when judging my club swing resulting in my shot getting much closer to the hole. I even had some trees to go through on one hole, as I was off to one side of the green and my view was blocked to the hole, but the SkyCaddie gave me a good line to hit without running around the trees to guess at my line of approach. That helped me out big and took much less time screwing around wondering if my line was good or not. Even with some of the cons I've listed below I find that the SkyCaddie is a great unit and would recommend it to my friends as I do believe this unit is number one in the crowd. I have friends with the Garmin G3, 4, 5, and 6's and they are definitely nice too but I'm glad I went the route I did even with the membership issues. Although I would have been happy with the G6 as well, which would be my second choice for Golf GPS's. For those that got confused about the $75 accessory pack, the accessory pack was provided by SkyGolf and is sent to you when you register your SkyCaddie online. My is on the way and they sent me a email stating so a couple of days after I registered it.
Pros1) Accuracy – SkyCaddie SGX is as accurate as they stated, given the plus/minus in the spec. I found it accurate to within approximately one yard, unlike some who say it was always right on, I found it varied some. 2) Easy to read on the course – I had to turn the backlight on to always to be able to easily read the GPS when on the course in sunny conditions. If the backlight is left in Auto mode you may have difficulty reading it on the course. 3) The belt clip that comes with it works well, I just clip the GPS to my pocket so I always have the unit when I need it and the clip holds up well, I never worry about it popping out on me or dropping it. 4) Auto 3 Mode Views – Having the Hole View, Fairway View, and Score Card View change by simply spinning the unit right or left is very convenient. 5) Battery Life – Is pretty good even with Backlight on always. I can easily get 36 in with one full charge with the unit on continually even with backlight on.
Cons1) Help - Even with online help it can be confusing on what the GPS will do and the benefits of each membership plan. I tried to call their phone number for support but it was always busy so I ended up using their Live Chat which worked well but again was not straight forward. If you do need to use the Live Chat just beware that once you start the session it will not tell you that you are in the queue or that you've even initiated the session so be patient and wait so don't close the chat box and end your session, just wait for an attendant to respond. 2) Acquiring Satellite's – All GPS's take time to acquire satellites and this one is no different, it takes a bit of time to get located when on the course. Also I found it went faster if I chose the course and then let it acquire its location then it did to have the GPS do everything. As others have stated, it is best to turn the unit on right away when you arrive at your course. 3) Buttons – When I first started to use the GPS I found myself hitting one of the three top buttons on the GPS. This caused me to turn off the GPS on the first hole by accident which meant I had to wait for it to acquire the course all over again before hitting the next shot. Nicely I was able to Resume easily and from that point on I would always rotate the GPS horizontally on my belt clip before pulling it off the clip so I wouldn't have those issues from then on. 4) Scoring – This unit doesn't auto score. It would be nice if they would use marked points as strokes also allowing for drops to be added. Using the manual scoring is easy and you have options for putts & strokes so if you enter both in the statistics are pretty cool. 5) Memory Card Slot – There is a card slot for a Micro-SD card but it isn't activated for use. It would be very nice if they had made use of this option that is there and could be used. The unit as it is can be easily filled up before you even have half of the course you want to add so having memory expansion and being able to use multiple cards would be an excellent idea. 6) Courses – Although it comes with tons of courses I was surprised that some of the premier courses in my state had not been mapped yet. I can understand not having a lot of the small local courses. It is nice that you can map up to 5 of your own course although you will only have distances to Front/Center/Back of the green and will not have a fairway view with all of the hazards. 7) Memberships – Although they say you don't have to have a membership if you need to download any courses that are not on the unit already you will need to pay for a membership or map the course yourself. Also when your membership is up the features of the courses you downloaded will cease as well.

misleading title
The item is great. Used it today for the first time. The item was misrepresented on the website.it was supposed to come with $75 worth accessories and this carrying bag. I didn't receive any extras. I emailed the site and said it wasn't supposed to come with anything. That's not how it was advertised.

U have 2 get 1
The sgx is great! It is totally worth the money! It may be a bit pricey but you will love it after you haves used it! If your tired of guessing the yardage you can't go wrong with the sgx! It's as the saying goes! "you get what you paid for!" Gives you hazards on the course, traps, lay out of the greens! What more could you want!

Excellent service
I bought this Skycaddie and 4 days latter it arrived at my home in New Zealand. I was not expecting it so soon. Well done I will be buying more from you. As far as the unit goes, now that I know my distances I am able to fly my ball into the flag reducing the length and number of putts. I highly recommend both the product and the service that is offered. Cheers, Grant
ProsThe speed in delivery was super fast. My golf has improved as a direct result.

Does exactly what it should!
Gives accurate information with ease. Distances calculated corresponded precisely with marked sprinkler distances to green centres, therefore the user can definately trust the data provided. The 'distance to' feature is great, for example it allows players to lay up short of hazards with accuracy. It also allows for the measurement of actual shots, so players can find out how far they REALLY drive the ball!

Free Carry Case is a Bonus
This is my first golf GPS device and I did quite a lot of research both online and in the various golf publications before purchasing the Golf Caddie SGX. I am not disappointed. There was some jumping through hoops to get the correct site downloaded onto my computer so I can sync the skycaddie with central skycaddie computers, but once this was done, everything works great. I used my Sky Caddie for the first time yesterday at a local golf course and it performed extremely well. You can even keep score and track your putts, if you hit or missed the fairway on your drives, etc. If the course has it's own GPS for use in the rental golf carts, the Sky Caddie will lock on to this and display the exact hole location on the green. As you move around the course, the Sky Caddie updates you on distances. You can use the joy stick to move targets around the course and determine exact distances to bunkers, water hazards, end of fairway, etc. This is a very cool item.
ProsEverything. The screen is large and easy to read even is bright sunlight. Keeping score is easy - just turn the unit on it's side and the score card appears.
ConsIt is supposed to upload your scores to the central computers of sky caddie, but does not. I contacted sky caddie support and they indicated they are aware of this problem and are working to fix it, but have no idea when it will be resolved.

Review if the Skycaddie SGX
This is the first golf GPS I have ever purchased. I spent a lot of time reading blogs and reviews and finally settled on the SGX. I have played five rounds, so far with the unit, and only found one thing that is an annoyance. The SGX is a little slow to start and display the starting hole. If I remember to start it up once I get my clubs out of the car, no problem with the unit being ready on the first tee. Other than that I can not find any flaws in the unit. IMO this is the best GPS on the market at this time.
ProsGraphics and screen size.
ConsSlow to start up

Solid GPS with most courses mapped
I previously had a uPro but it was damaged recently. I prefer the smaller form factor of the uPro (easy to pocket during play) but the SGX has many more smaller local courses mapped. The SGX is fairly simple to use and has many extra functions. Screen has been great with the few rounds I have played with it. Had a few issues during setup but resolved quickly. Overall very happy and look forward to using it. You will need to purchase a plan which run $50 dollars for all US courses...
ProsGreat Screen Easy to use Number of courses mapped
ConsSize and weight are on the heavy side Takes a while to startup

DEA warns about synthetic drug use on the rise in Arizona
PHOENIX (KSAZ) - The battle against illegal drugs in the U.S. wages on as heroin and meth are a big problem in many states, but here in Arizona, it's synthetic drugs that are being found more and more by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The chemical composition of these drugs are constantly changing and they continue to grow more potent. The DEA continues to see a surge in synthetic drug use in Arizona. In particular, the use of synthetic opioids. One version is called Fentanyl, which is even more dangerous than heroin.
The DEA warehouse in Phoenix is filled ceiling to floor with synthetic drugs. Shelves are lined with synthetics like bath salts and spice and the new kid on the block, synthetic opiates.
"As we've had an increasing drug abuse problem where kids are getting addicted to the opioid-based prescription drugs, the Oxycontin, the Hydrocodone and those type of things, we've seen an explosion of the creation of these synthetic opiates," said Special Agent Doug Coleman.
Coleman heads the Phoenix division of the DEA. He says synthetic opioids come in many forms, including a synthetic version of Fentanyl, a pain prescription medication that's so powerful, just one-fourth of one grain can be toxic.
"It can get into the air and you can breathe it in. You can overdose from that or if you get in on your skin and it absorbs in your skin you can overdose," explained Coleman.
Coleman says manufacturers in China and India are selling synthetic Fentanyl online, marketing it to heroin addicts and young, first time users.
"It's flashy and it's designed to get kids hooked on this stuff and get these kids to look at these packaging materials," said Coleman.
The drugs arrive in just a weeks' time and parents are unaware the doorstep delivery could kill their children.
"It's on the internet. We can't possibly stop all of it. We're counting on you to help us. Pay attention to what they're buying. Pay attention to what they're looking at on the internet and make sure that you're not one of the people who has to deal with a heroin addiction problem in your house or God forbid a heroin overdose," said Coleman.
In the last two years, the DEA seized 50 pounds of Fentanyl. They say that's enough to kill millions of people.
If you're found in possession of a synthetic opioid, you will be arrested and face prison time.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! One of the oldest automobile brands celebrates its anniversary today. Formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company, the Cadillac Automobile Company was founded 110 years ago on August 22, 1902 by Henry Leland. Since the beginning, Cadillacs have always been extravagant, and as the brand attempts to regain its position as standard of the world, we're crowning the five coolest Caddies ever designed.1937 Cadillac Phaeton model 5859 — Look up classic beauty in the dictionary, and you'll see an image of the custom-built 1937 Cadillac Fleetwood V-16 shown here. The Phaeton model 5859 was built by coachbuilder Fran Roxas who relied on the original blueprints of Cadillac designer John Hampshire. The original sketches of the powerful V-16 car served as inspiration for the Ciel concept car.1949 Cadillac — The 1949 Cadillac was a major step forward for the company, as the outgoing car's ancient L-head V-8 was replaced by a flathead V-8 that put out 10 more horsepower (160 versus 150). The new engine was about 200 pounds lighter, revved higher, and got better fuel mileage. The Cadillac was also named as Motor Trend's very first car of the year.1959 Cadillac Eldorado — This beauty incorporated new styling, with sharp and massive tailfins that have gone down in automotive history. Its twin-bullet taillights, and jewel-like grille added to its appeal, and let's not forget its name translates to "the golden one" in Spanish.Cadillac Ciel concept — The Cadillac Ciel is just a concept, but it's still one of the most gorgeous cars we've ever seen wearing the brand's logo. The Ciel concept stunned spectators last year at Pebble Beach with its effortless combination of strong retro themes with Cadillac's current design language. The four-door convertible wears rear-hinged "suicide" doors, and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6 liter V-6 mated to a hybrid all-wheel-drive drivetrain producing an estimated 425 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque.Cadillac CTS-V (second generation) — Where do we even begin? The CTS-V is fast, has a wonderfully composed chassis, and looks like a million bucks on the road. How do we know? We had a CTS-V wagon in our long-term garage for a year, and nearly everyone who got seat time with the beast fell in love.What's your favorite Cadillac of all time?

21 Injured as Car Crashes Into Packed Fla. Church on Easter
More than 21 people, including at least three children, were injured after a car slammed into a packed church in Fort Myers, Fla., Sunday night just before its annual Easter concert was about to start.
The Lexus sedan crashed into the Second Haitian Baptist Church, which was packed with about 200 people, at around 8 p.m. Sunday, according to The Associated Press.
Police arrived when church members were using car jacks to lift the vehicle to rescue those who were trapped beneath the vehicle, News-Press reported.
"Fellow parishioners used vehicle jacks and brute force to lift the vehicle in order to rescue several others trapped beneath the Lexus sedan while waiting for medics," Fort Myers police said in a statement.
Explaining how the crash took place, police spokesperson Lt. Victor Medico said the driver, identified as a young Haitian woman, turned into the parking lot and was trying to park. But she drove straight into the building, as the brakes allegedly malfunctioned. "The car failed to turn into the space and crashed into pews holding 30 to 40 people."
More than 10 ambulances responded to the scene.
"It just obliterated the pews that were there," Naples News quoted EMS operations chief Benjamin Abes as saying. He described the building as a single-story business plaza with a unit that had been converted into a church, and added that the structure is not in danger of collapsing.
"At this point, the investigation is being treated as a very unfortunate accident rather than a criminal act," Medico added.
"Everybody was sitting and the service started and then 'BING' the car came in," Jean Corjeles, who was in the church at the time, was quoted as saying. "So many people are injured."
Nicholas Plancher, another church member, added, "I heard the building pop and saw a car pushing in."
Rey Louie, whose friend Joseph Shooby is a member of the church, said, of his friend, "He has a hole in his head and his dad hasn't regained consciousness."
According to Lee Memorial health System spokeswoman Mary Biggs, 18 people were taken to Lee County hospitals, including four trauma patients. One of those four was later discharged. At least three of those injured Sunday are children. None of the injuries appear to be life-threatening.

For almost a year now, slide shows have been a part of simplybible.com's content. These slides are created with HTML. They require only a browser to view. They are suitable for projection as visual aids for the preacher. But they lack audio and automatic transition. So I experimented with turning them into short videos.
Using AVS4YOU software, and its screen capture facility, I found it possible to convert the slides into video with voice-over. There was very little hassle. I did choose to change the aspect ratio of the images from 4:4 to a more modern 16:9. Uploading the videos to YouTube proved to be fairly straightforward. To imbed the videos into the web pages, I needed to write a simple javascript function because my web pages are XHTML strict, and won't validate using YouTube's iframe code direct.
