-- contagious winner disease spreading around the world infecting people here at home.
It's known as Sydney 2012 -- nor virus spreading out of Australia in the Great Britain France Japan and the US as I mentioned it.
Causing terrible symptoms this is nasty folks doctor Marc -- member of the Fox's medical eighteen how are you -- professor of medicine and NYU's going to own medical center okay good -- is going to be 2012 good morning to you what is it -- it's so dangerous.
Well actually it started in Australia about six months ago -- winter -- -- it's cold winter vomiting virus and the problem with it is it gets you very dehydrated this year there's a new strain that -- -- in Sydney 2012.
It made it to England and Wales now it's being found all over Utah and it's spreading all over the country.
Now it's not people are worrying about the flu right now this isn't as severe in terms of getting -- hospitalized the risk of dying.
But I worried about this virus -- -- can get you very dehydrated you vomit diarrhea.
Nausea those -- the upper abdominal pain headache.
Low grade fever those of the predominant symptoms and you gotta watch out for this -- they can get up to you in a hurry when you suddenly lose a lot of poor -- -- highly contagious to the vomiting and nausea and stomach pain.
The body -- -- there -- vaccine there's no threat no they're already shot at a daycare than don't know vaccine but you made a great point here which is it kept it it is highly contagious it's more contagious than the fluids.
Another thing it has in common with the flu is it changes rapidly mutate so this year's strain.
Not the same as last year straight when you got a new strain.
You get twice as many cases so this is a very problematic thing it's going to spread all over the country don't want people out there to distinguish the symptoms if you're feeling the vomiting and nausea the diarrhea this isn't the -- this is that Norwalk virus it's it's -- Angel -- -- -- -- -- starts and you -- -- -- you know that it to have right now it's having huge outbreaks in -- nursing homes in new -- and churches in the Utah.

Working title of my flick in progress is Kata, and will feature basically just this character. Costume (such as it is) is the "Stage 2" look, will have a bit more coverage with another garment still in the works.
Lots of tweaks and finessing still to be done before final animation starts -- more elaborate skin texturing, revisiting the facial vert weighting, maybe find a better solution for the hair, a lot of little to-dos. Also the ears seem to need fixing, they don't seem right to a number of folk.
But she's mostly complete and ready to show off. Enjoy!

Santa and Aktion Club members Bill Sobczak, Eva Monk, Emily Lavely and Shawn Squires unload their sleigh for an Avon Park family.
click any photo to view this story's photo gallery published: Friday, December 28, 2012 Highlands Aktion Club helps Santa make deliveries Special to the News-Sun Santa Claus loaded up his sleigh full of presents early on Dec. 22 to deliver to 36 needy children in Highlands County. The Aktion Club of Highlands County, which consists of people with disabilities, assisted Santa by raising more than $500 in a gift wrapping store in Lakeshore Mall during December and collecting donations to help buy toys, clothes and food for 11 families in Sebring and Avon Park. This was the fifth year for the club to take on this project. Last year, club members adopted 22 children but the need increased this year. The local club adopts children, ages birth to 3 years old, served in the Gulf Central Early Steps Program who have disabilities. They also purchased gifts for their siblings. Lakeshore Mall donated space for the club to wrap gifts from Dec. 2-16. Some local residents took names off the angel tree to help buy gifts for the kids. In addition to the money raised at the mall, Germaine Surveying, Lampe & Kiefer Hearing Aid Center and various anonymous donors made contributions to help purchase gifts for the kids. One donor in particular was Sebring resident Bill Sobczak, who is a member of the Aktion Club. He refurbishes bicycles and overheard a phone conversation with one family who only wanted to get their five children bikes for Christmas. Sobczak had lined up his best bikes and purchased two more bikes with his own money that he makes at his job bagging groceries at Publix. "I know what it is like growing up poor and wanting a bike for Christmas. I just had to help these kids," Sobczak said. Sobczak and Aktion Club advisor Cindy Marshall loaded up the bikes and delivered them early on Dec. 19 so the family had time to hide them for Christmas. Sobczak also made several donations of new and slightly used toys and clothes that he purchased throughout the year at various sales. Sobczak was one of the elves who made the trip with Santa to deliver the gifts to all the children on Dec. 22. Eva Monk, Shawn Squires and Emily Lavely were the others who helped to make deliveries. "It is good to see that all these families really need these presents," Sobczak said. "They really are poor. Some don't even have a tree. Some trees only had one string of lights." "It was a good feeling to help these families," Aktion Club president Ralph Meyers said as he played Santa Claus. "Some kids were happy to see Santa and some were scared." The club wrapped more than 300 presents on Dec. 20 for these families and put together food baskets that also included a turkey. Sobczak donated a ham for one family. The presents were bagged for each family and delivered in time for Christmas. There were also two other small bikes and two tricycles included in the delivery on Dec. 20. "It felt good to make these children smile at Christmas time. That's what it is all about," Sobczak said. Small Banner Ads |

A new name to the world of overdone plastic surgery is reality television star Heidi Montag, formerly of MTV's Laguna Beach and The Hills television series. Born in Crested Butte, Colorado, Montag relocated to California in her youth, quickly falling in love with the West coast lifestyle and all that came with it: sudden fame, media attention and a rocky romance. However Montag shocked the world as audiences watched the attractive blond undergo a number of plastic surgeries that landed her in headlines for all the wrong reasons.
In 2007, at the age of 21, Montag underwent her first plastic surgery, a breast augmentation that significantly enhanced her chest size. She also underwent rhinoplasty—better known as a nose job—as well as collagen lip injections. At first, Montag denied going under the knife, but as media speculation rose, and before and after photos of the reality TV star surfaced, Montag confirmed the rumors and spoke with US Weekly about her decision to pursue plastic surgery at such a young age. Not long after Montag made headlines again in an interview with People magazine in which she revealed that she had undergone ten intensive plastic surgeries in one day by esteemed plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan. These procedures covered a variety of surgeries including a second breast augmentation and second rhinoplasty, a chin reduction, ear pinnings and brow lifts. In the interview Montag also revealed that while undergoing these surgeries she almost died due to an overdose of the drug demerol.
Later in 2010 Montag revealed to Life & Style Magazine a number of scars she now has as a result of the high number of plastic surgeries she underwent. Montag admitted in the interview that some of her body parts now actually look worse after plastic surgery than they did before. She also admitted that she wished she had been more informed when making such life changing decisions.

Falling real estate values, state budget cuts in education money and losses in federal dollars have all created a perfect storm for school districts in Illinois and a Fairview Heights school district hopes voters will pass a tax increase to help it keep educating children.
In April, voters in the district will see a referendum on the ballot asking them to approve a tax increase that will directly pay for the schools.
The district is asking for a tax increase that equals an estimated $99 a year, or about $8.25 a month, for the owner of a $100,000 home to keep Grant Middle and Illini Elementary schools open.
Grant School District 110 in Fairview Heights cut its budget by $983,808 since the 2009-2010 budget year and eliminated many educational programs to keep the district afloat. Falling real estate values means fewer tax dollars and cuts in both state and federal education money forced the district to cut all but the basics.
"We absolutely have to have it," said district Superintendent Matt Stines. "It's a necessity for our district to keep operating. It's important for people as homeowners. It's important for our community for our school district to stay strong. Without a strong school district, we don't have a strong community, and without a strong community, real estate values fall."
The district asked voters to approve a similar tax increase in 2011; the referendum failed. The district implemented nearly $1 million in cuts to keep its doors open after voters failed to approve the educational fund tax increase. Because it is not in the same taxing district, District 110 does not receive any sales tax money from St. Clair Square or retail merchants on retail district end of town. It relies almost exclusively on real estate taxes.
"We cut 17 percent of our education fund," Stines said. "We cut art, music, computer classes, band, chorus and P.E. We don't have them any more. We cut the number of classes where we could but we really don't want to see class sizes over 30 because that's tough on the kids. Cutting all these programs was a direct result of the referendum failing in 2011."
The last time a referendum was passed to increase the education fund tax was in 1985.
Stines added that the district could cut extracurricular activities and sports, but eliminating those would save the district about $38,000 a year, which is not enough to cover the cost of hiring one teacher back.
Jen Knepper, the parent of a third grader at Illini Elementary School and president of the PTO, said she hopes voters see the need of the district and pass the referendum.
"We have no other choice, honestly," she said. "There's nothing else to cut. I hope that when people see that small amount they could figure out a way to budget for it. I'm hoping that $8 a month is not a big amount for people and they see we need it, because we really do."
Grant Middle School parent Karen Meirink supports the referendum and said she hopes the community will put its support behind it.
"Our district has had to make a number of cuts over the past couple of year that really aren't fair to our children and makes our children less able to compete," Meirink said. Her daughter is an eighth grader. "We've lost programs: Computer, music, P.E., art and we have larger class sizes. These kids are all going to Belleville East and they won't be able to compete in those programs like marching band and choir because they won't be prepared for them."
Meirink's daughter was in the gifted program in grade school and the band and chorus. All three were eliminated.
"She was really into art and we lost the art program, we lost the art teacher and the art club and she was really sad to see those go," Meirink said. "She has definitely been impacted."
The proposed education tax rate raises the existing rate from 1.42 percent to 2.27 percent and would go into effect in 2014. If approved by voters, the taxes would give the district a budget of $8,954,351, which is 9 percent more than its current budget of $7,909,382. The current budget includes the 17 percent cut made to programs in the district. That budget includes money from the state and the federal government.
"It's $8 and change a month for an average household in the district," Meirink said. "I just went to Chick-fil-A for lunch and I spent $8.65 for a salad and a Diet Coke. For the cost of a lunch we can keep our school, that's what we are looking at. For me, $8 and change is so worth it and our kids are worth it."
The district spends an average of $9,800 per student per year, which is on par with other districts in the region. The district has about 730 students, pre-K through eighth grade. Out of 32 districts in St. Clair County, District 110 ranks 26th on its education fund. Only five districts have a lower education fund rate.
The district managed to stay operational by borrowing money from its working cash fund, which is similar to a home equity loan, but it is out of borrowing ability.
What happens if the voters don't approve the educational fund tax increase?
"We are operating bare bones right now," Stines said. "If it doesn't pass this time, we don't have enough left to cut to make up for the deficit. If that happens, we die on the vine. If that happens we have to look at dissolution and figure out where all these kids would go. Basically, I'd sell the farm and mortgage everything we've got and keep going until we get absorbed. It would be like maxing out all your credit cards just to pay your bills."
Tiffany Baldwin has a fourth grader and a kindergartner at Illini Elementary. She is also a member of the school board.
"No one likes to pay more money, no one likes more money coming out of their paycheck or their tax bill," Baldwin said. "This is money that goes to education so we are investing in education. Paying that small amount can be hard for some people that are struggling, but there are returns on that investments. Not just for your child if you have a child in the district, but if you increase spending per pupil, especially on the local level, that money is spent more efficiently, locally, and for every dollar spent on education, property values increase. You don't even have to like kids or feel altruistic about education, but, if you own a home in the district, think about the property values in the district increasing because of a good school district."

* This is the referendum question proposed to appear on the April ballot: "Shall the maximum tax rate for the tax which Grant Community Consolidated School District No. 110, St. Clair County, Illinois, levies for educational purposes, be increased by 0.85 percent, from the currently authorized rate of 1.42 percent to a rate not to exceed 2.27 percent upon the value of taxable property within the District as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, as authorized by Article 17 of the School Code?"

Saw the mass effect box art today. I think it could use some work. Its to dark and dose not tell much of the game. It should show a pic of a hand holding a Galaxy, Showing how the whole galaxy is yours to explor in Mass Effect.

I was curious of what others are going to be playing as once they get ME within the next couple of months (hopefully).
The character classes are broken down into the following: (these are from the official ME website, thought I'd give credit where credit is due) Soldiers are Combat specific characters. Engineers are Technology centered characters. Adepts are especially skilled with Biotic abilities. Infiltrators blend their Combat and Technical abilities. Sentinels balance using Biotic abilities and Technology. Vanguards mix their skills at Combat with their Biotic abilities. <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript 1.2" src="/do/uPoll?Dispatch=Code&ct=Custom&id=20007"/></script> Thank you |

I think the thing that has made it possible for me to write personal songs and sing them year after year is the sensibility for good writing. Just opening your veins all over the paper is not necessarily going to be interesting. I wanted to speak to people.

I consider myself as a singer first, but something that really helped me come into my own is that there's not a separation between me singing and me playing the guitar. The two fed off the other.

Adam and Eve, History or Myth?
Today's video features N.T. Wright. Please note the views expressed here are those of the author, not necessarily of The BioLogos Foundation. You can read more about what we believe here.
Perhaps one of the biggest obstacles for evangelical Christians who are resistant to the idea of evolution is a literalist reading of scripture –– in particular, the text of Genesis 1-3, which details the creation of the earth and its inhabitants.
While most biblical scholars would likely advocate a literary reading of Genesis, as opposed to a literal one, the characterization of Genesis 1-3 as a "mythic" text can make some people uneasy. This is largely due to the fact that in our American culture, "myth" has become synonymous with "not true". From its Greek origin, however, myth is simply defined as a story or legend that has cultural significance in explaining the hows and whys of human existence, using metaphorical language to express ideas beyond the realm of our five senses.
But to suggest that Genesis is both a mythic text as well as the "inerrant Word of God" may require a leap of faith for some.
British author, pastor, and theologian Rev. Dr. N.T. Wright suggests that the mythological part has been misunderstood and discarded by many evangelicals in favor of a reading based entirely on questions of historicity.
He argues that "to flatten that [the text of Genesis] out is to almost perversely avoid the real thrust of the narrative … we have to read Genesis for all its worth and to say either history or myth is a way of saying 'I'm not going to read this text for all its worth, I am just going to flatten it out so that it conforms to the cultural questions that my culture today is telling me to ask'."
Many might wonder—but isn't this pursuit of contemporary context a good thing? Not so, Wright replies, "I think that's actually a form of being unfaithful to the text itself."
In this video clip, Wright suggests that questions concerning the historicity of Genesis and the historicity of Adam and Eve get caught up in contemporary cultural issues and miss the larger story.
For more conversations about science and religion, be sure to visit our new "Conversations" section, accessible through our Audio/Video page or on our YouTube channel.
Commentary written by the BioLogos editorial team.
N.T. Wright is a leading biblical scholar, former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England, and current Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, University of St Andrews. He studied for the ministry at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, and was ordained at Merton College, Oxford. Wright holds a Doctor of Divinity from Oxford University in addition to several honorary doctorates. Wright has also written over fifty books, including the multi-volume work Christian Origins and the Question of God and his two most recent books Simply Jesus: A New Vision of Who He Was, What He Did, and Why He Matters and How God Became King.

MHS wrote:I'll say again that I don't know how people who haven't read the books could enjoy the show. I don't think I could, because I would never feel like I was getting enough information about anything. Maybe that's only because I know what I'd be missing though.
My wife is watching with me, and she never read the books. She's enjoying the show well enough, but she has no idea who anyone is most of the time. She just refers to people with descriptions - "the dwarf", "the girl dressed as a boy", "the guy with the wolf", "the queen", "the bald guy", etc. Her main complaint is that they don't use people's names often enough, given that they're "weird fantasy names". In the first two episodes of Season 2 there was quite a bit going on with Melisandre, and yet I don't believe anyone ever actually said her name.
Right after watching episode 3, I mentioned that I thought they made Yoren a bit more of a badass than in the books. Naturally her response was "who's Yoren?". She would recognize Petyr Baelish, but she has no idea that his name is "Petyr Baelish", or probably even that his nickname is Littlefinger.

Did you pack on a few extra pounds over the holidays? Have no fear! You can freeze off your fat with the new "CoolScultping" procedure.
Seriously, the procedure involves clamping a gel patch to your problem area, which freezes the fat cells beneath the skin at sub-zero temperatures. The dead cells are then "flushed" away by your body after a couple months. The treatment, which was approved by the FDA in 2010, has seen a surge in popularity recently, because it's pain free, can be done virtually anywhere, and is much less invasive than liposuction.
Just remember, though, even if fat cells are removed from one area of your body if you continue to make poor food choices the fat cells will expand in other places.

A city that needs no introduction...
ondon is home to the Queen, tons of history and world-famous architecture - and arguably the greatest city in the world. With a plethora of free museums and art galleries, there is always something amazing to see and do. It's impossible to walk 100 metres in London without stumbling across a famous monument or place of historical significance. Oh, and the shopping and culture can rival anywhere.
History and Heritage
Since the Roman encampment of Londinium in AD43, the city has survived everything from the Black Death to the Blitz. In 1666 the Great Fire nearly wiped out the city altogether, but this gave Sir Christopher Wren the opportunity to show off his architectural skills including his masterpiece
St Paul's Cathedral
. It's impossible to distil all of London past into words – the only thing to do is experience it for yourself.
Arts and Culture
With its huge Turbine Hall, the
Tate Modern
is the place to experience modern and contemporary art - you can see work by Picasso, Dalí, and Pollock all for free. Or see the best of British at the
National Portrait Gallery
. For a musical treat, head to a musical in the West End. If you want something off the beaten track, head to Vyner St
for one-off art events featuring up-and-coming talent or pay the
White Cube
a visit and see some of the biggest names in modern art for free.
Must See Attractions
Take a trip on the
London Eye
and drink in those tranquil views over the city. Then head past the Houses of Parliament to
Buckingham Palace
- if the flag is flying it means Her Majesty is at home. Don't worry if she's out, you can always head to
Madame Tussauds
and have your photo taken with her wax model– your friends will never know the difference.
Food and Drink
Splash out on afternoon tea at the
where a cellist soundtracks every delicious bite or get a taste of the real London by heading to
Brick Lane
for a curry. Gordon Ramsay's ability to cook as well as he can swear means his
Royal Hospital Restaurant
is worthy of its three Michelin stars and your attention. For late night dining head to Soho for a maze of restaurants including high-tech Pan-Asian restaurant,
and Soho institution;
Bar Italia
. Alternatively, head north to Upper St in Islington for independent European eateries and super cool bars.

I have two birdfeeders I really have to clean. I should have done it months ago. I want to do it now, this week! Those who have cleaned their birdfeeders in winter, do you clean outdoors or indoors? I'm thinking about finally bringing them inside and cleaning them in the laundry room sink. (I really wanted to do this outside, but now it's cold)..... Where should I do it? Thanks!!!

Gosh, I think your laundry room sink sounds perfect! (A bit of bleach in the water can help sanitize) I would be sure to keep a strainer in the trap, so no seeds or other solid stuff go down the drain? | ||||
I agree w/Conrad. Be sure to let them dry completely before putting them back out. Don't want to make the birds go ice skating! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
If I had to clean one at this time, I would do it inside. I would use a hairdryer to dry it completely before I set it out again. | ||||
With the snow we've had the poor birds really have not choice about finding feeders so we're using our back deck rail for the niger seeds and sunflower seeds they go for. Blue Jays, cardinals, juncos, but mostly must be a couple dozen chickadees show up---they even fight over the piles we leave. The deck is just a couple feet away from a large cedar hedge that they spend the winter in its branches so they flit from there to the rail and back again. Unfortunately, we also have a couple squirrels that have found the cache and will scare the birds away so they have to be fast. | ||||

Manchester, May 15
Carlos Tevez landed himself in fresh controversy on Monday when he was pictured waving a mocked-up tombstone for Sir Alex Ferguson during Manchester Citys Premier League title celebrations.
The 28-year-old Argentina striker held up a banner designed to look like a gravestone and bearing the words RIP Fergie as City celebrated their title triumph over Manchester United during an open-top bus parade. Manchester City later released a statement apologising to Ferguson and criticised Tevez while the player - who it is believed took the banner from a fan - also said he "didn`t mean any disrespect".
"The creation of the tasteless material is in itself reprehensible and in accepting and brandishing it, Carlos has made a significant error of judgement," said a City spokeswoman.
"The club wishes to express its sincerest apologies to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United Football Club for any offence or distress caused." Tevez for his part said he had just got carried away.
"I got carried away in the excitement of the moment and I certainly didnt mean any disrespect to Sir Alex Ferguson, who I admire as a man and a manager," he said.
Tevez left United in 2009 and joined City.

Attorney Lawrance Bohm spoke with us about the reason behind unpaid interns suing their "employers," as well as the cases of a disabled woman suing a cab company for denying her service and a woman who sued a doctor for taking pictures of her in the ER, while she was drunk.
He also touched on a lawsuit that's been filed on behalf of a chimpanzee, who is looking for legal "personhood" rights.
If you missed it, be sure to check out the podcast for some very valuable information!!!
Baristas whose tips were robbed from the counter have decided to save the thief a run-in with police and have organized a food drive for him instead.
Staff members at the Nervous Dog Coffee Bar in Stow, Ohio, announced they would hold a food-drive for the man rather than file a police report against him.
Surveillance footage from the store shows the man ordering coffee from the young worker, and then dipping his hand into the tip jar as soon as her back is turned.
The kindhearted staff posted the footage on its Facebook page, with the words : 'We figured anyone desperate enough to steal a few bucks from a kid working her way through college, is likely pretty hungry.
The post said, 'If anyone is able to help us find this unfortunate man, we will make the donations available to him Christmas week.'
It continued, 'We will also provide him with free brewed coffee for the remainder of this year. If he is unable to get to the shop again in order to pick up the food, we are happy to drop it off if anyone can help us locate the hungry fellow.'
The first person to offer a donation was the barista who was working when the thief stole the tips, and they promise that if he shows up, there will be no questions asked.
If the man does not come forward, the donations will be donated to a local food bank.

Your computer could be hacked and you wouldn't even hear it coming.
German researchers with the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing, and Ergonomics have developed a method for computer hacking using only sounds inaudible to human ears.
In their testing, the researchers hacked computers up to 65 feet away, but that range can be expanded almost indefinitely.
Employers added 203,000 jobs in November, which was much more than expected by economists. The unemployment rate also dropped from 7.3% to 7%.
This marks the second month in a row of a better than expected jobs report.
Recently, marketers have developed cutting-edge, sophisticated ways to combine offline and online information for more detailed profiles of shoppers than they've ever had before.
They also are perfecting location-tracking technology as to bring in new customers and influence shoppers as they wander through stores.
Retailers like Target are now pushing their own mobile apps and offering in-store Wi-Fi and mobile coupons, while in-store Wi-Fi is another way to track a consumer's online movements.
Also stores like Macy's, Best Buy and JCPenney, have partnered with the Shopkick mobile app, where shoppers turn it on inside the store and get rewarded with discounts or song downloads for trying on clothes, scanning barcodes and making purchases.
Southern California fast food workers staged a walkout as part of their attempt to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour- the second strike this year.
This protest was part of a nationwide strike effort that was organized by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and designed to pressure Congress into raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25, or about $15,000 annually.
Workers say many have to work second jobs and use public assistance to make ends meet.
The strike is not getting backing from the White House as President Barack Obama said last month he will only support a minimum wage raise to $10.10 per hour.

Straggler: Debian Decides to Replace Sysvinit with Upstart
The current Debian Sysvinit boot system will gradually be replaced by upstart due to sysvinit's unreliability, according to Debian boot system maintainers.
Debian developers want first of all to implement an event-based boot system replacement in Debian 6.0 ("Squeeze") for /sbin/init, considering that the kernel is becoming more event-based. The sysvinit Debian boot system is sequentially based with the consequence that it's becoming increasingly unreliable, according to the Debian boot team. Examples are the fsck and mount tools that can't find device files in /dev, or the Network File System that can't start its service because the network interfaces aren't yet initialized.
Like Fedora and Ubuntu, Debian is settling on upstart, an init process replacement and extension project that recently reported on its status at the FOSDEM 2009. According to the debian.devel.announce entry, "the plan is to change upstart to actually use /etc/inittab, to ease the switch between sysvinit and upstart." Debian will also treat upstart jobs as init.d scripts in case a system can't handle upstart, thereby complying with the Linux Standard Base (LSB) that specifies that distros must handle packages with init.d scripts. In this way Debian is developing a boot system that will be event-based "for the early boot, and which also calls init.d scripts at the appropriate time."
The rebuilding should proceed stepwise and show its first results in Squeeze. The early boot phase will get initial attention, as boot system maintainer Petter Reinholdtsen says, "while keeping the existing boot stuff working."

Summer comes with road races galore, and each race has its own personality. From the funky, wild Color Run, to Iowa's Distance Classic, Dam-to-Dam, there is a local road race for every runner. This year, Sleepy Hollow Sports Park decided to create its own multiple-race series, offering Des Moines runners one-of-a-kind race experiences. The Sno Run and Mud Run have already taken place, but the next race in the series screams summer fun!
The Sleepy Hollow H20 Run at 10 a.m. on June 22 is an interactive 5K race for the whole family, pairing people's love of running with people's love of water. Lots of water. Get ready to cross a pond, take a trip through a "car wash," sprint through a creek and finish with, quite possibly, the largest slip-n-slide you've ever seen. And, what makes this even better is the Run benefits the American Heart Association. To register visit www.sleepyhollowraceplace.com and use WATER10 for $10 off your registration fee. Get ready to get wet!
The fourth and final race in Sleepy Hollow's race series is the Beer Run, September 28, 2013, benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training. Register early because this race will fill up fast, as it will offer plenty of "liquid courage" along the course.

As Jackson heads toward alcohol vote, bar owners lament their loss of monopoly
Written by Quintin Ellison- Sylva librarian closes book on career
- Jackson still 'economically distressed'
- Cullowhee advocates seek to sharpen vision of community plan
- Jackson leaders search for equity in fire tax debate
- Sylva getting pretty good at filling empty town board seats
- Cullowhee planning initiative out of the gate at last
- Sylva leaders adopt streetscape plan for Main Street, N.C. 107
- New checkpoint procedures implemented in Jackson
When Dale McElroy plunked down $100,000 to expand Mica's Restaurant & Pub in southern Jackson County last year, he was banking on the status quo staying the status quo: a dry county remaining dry.
McElroy, like other savvy business owners in the area, have used numerous loopholes in the state ABC law to legally sell alcoholic beverages in "dry" Jackson County. McElroy can legally sell alcohol as a semi-private club.
At Mica's, patrons are knocking back plenty of beer, wine and even liquor. McElroy is counting on that continuing — it's how he plans to pay for his new outdoor deck, fire pit and remodeled dining room.
McElroy also sells beer and wine from a small to-go shop adjacent to the restaurant. To keep it legal, he sells lifetime memberships for $1 and piggybacks on the golf course and country club to help qualify for the status as a private club.
It's the beer and wine sales from that shop that help subsidize his restaurant.
But take away the corner on the market he currently enjoys, and suddenly his investment doesn't look very rosy.
That's the case, too, for Jacqueline and Joel Smilack, who spent what she described as "a lot" to build two, full-sized asphalt tennis courts. That transformed JJ's Eatery along N.C. 107 in the Glenville community into a sports club, legally entitled to sell alcohol.
McElroy, for one, doesn't mince words. If the sale of booze becomes legal for every business — not just the ones such as his and JJ's that invested big bucks to earn the right to sell alcoholic beverages — then he'll be forced to shut his doors. The upfront investment has been too great to suddenly have to compete with every Tom, Dick and Harry who owns a service station or restaurant in the Cashiers area being allowed in the game.
The way it works now is that each week, McElroy must call in his order to Sylva's ABC store detailing the amounts and types of liquor he needs, wait until they call back and say it's ready, then go pick up the filled order.
So, he must be happy that Jackson County Chairman Jack Debnam wants a vote, too, on opening an ABC store in Cashiers? Wouldn't that be convenient?
Well, no, as a matter of fact, he's not happy at the news.
"I'd rather spend $1,000 a week to go down to Sylva than $300 to go into Cashiers," McElroy said.
In other words, he's making money because of the exclusivity and inconvenience of the situation as it stands now. The referendum passes, "and I wouldn't continue running this place," McElroy said flatly.

Campus Sustainability an Easy Sell
So, why have smart campuses found sustainability such an attractive value proposition? In short, because our customers are demanding sustainability, because it saves money, and because higher education's ethical license to operate is at risk if we don't respond to a society beset with myriad unsustainable ailments.
Passive House, Actively Green
Unity College in central Maine is a small liberal arts college with a big voice in the national sustainability conversation. We take seriously our leadership role in higher education and across sectors, preparing our students for leadership roles of their own in a changing world. From our unique sustainability science focus throughout the curriculum, to our first-in-the-nation commitment to divest our endowment from fossil fuels, we aim to model viable approaches to sustainability education that improve learning, engage the community, and decrease environmental impact.
Green Haven
Everybody loves the idea of creating a clean, green world and passing that world on to future generations. People recycle competitively, monitor energy usage dashboards, and approach LEED certification with gusto. Security, on the other hand, is reactive. Most individuals don't really consider it until an event brings safety to the forefront. Yet both must co-exist on today's college campuses even though they may be at odds.
The Greener Side of Tech
Sure, it�s easy to toss trash into the proper receptacles and to turn off the lights when leaving a room, but how does a university with thousands of personnel, administrators, and students on campus initiate a greener place to live, work, and study? Green initiatives for the higher education sector are everywhere, and there are so many ways that colleges can get involved, from implementing cleaner technologies that use less power consumption to offering vegan dining choices in the cafeteria to properly disposing of old, outdated printers.

Reexamining Your Institution's Web Presence
In an age when digital has become such a key channel, the colleges and universities that embrace this concept will outpace those that don't. It's not a financial question anymore, a bifurcation of the haves and have-nots; it's more of a mindset issue. While having the vast resources of a major institution certainly helps, it doesn't matter how much money you throw at a website project if it's not seen as the central hub of your overall communication efforts. And if it isn't used as a chance to engage an inclusive set of stakeholders from across campus, it's a huge opportunity missed.

Special Reports
18th Annual College Construction Report
Gridlock in Washington threatened to bring our nation's economy to a standstill. College administrators worried whether the uncertainties of tax laws or the emphasis on cutting would cause regular donors or governors and state legislators to trim their spending on higher education. It was not a good time for looking ahead and planning confidently for continued growth in college construction programs. The number of identified projects listed as being �on hold; awaiting funding decisions� grew exponentially. Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that college construction completed in 2012 � and projected for 2013 � declined from previous years.
2012 Campus Housing Report
Residence halls � or dormitories, as they were once called � used to be places where students could sleep, dress, and study while attending college. They were the simplest of spaces, providing each student a bed, a desk, and a place to keep some clothes. And they were usually the least expensive buildings on campus. Things are different now. Residence halls provide all the comforts of home and, to many students and parents, often more.

As well as LSU's 6'6" 306 lbs DT, Michael Brockers per @NFLMocksMorris Claiborne and Russell Shepard entering the draft.
I'm a fan of Brockers', but It's hard to say where he will be picked. I think most experts thought he would be heading back to school. I'd guess somewhere between 20th and 40th overall.
Edit: I guess he was told he could go as high as the end of the first round per SBNation.com http://www.sbnation....el-brockers-lsu
The experts that have voiced their opinion think he'll go higher.

Subway crisis: Is 'footlong' sub really 11 inches?
NEW YORK (AP) — What's in an inch? Apparently, enough missing meat, cheese and tomatoes to cause an uproar.
Subway, the world's largest fast food chain with 38,000 locations, is facing widespread criticism after a man who appears to be from Australia posted a photo on the company's Facebook page of one of its footlong sandwiches next to a tape measure that shows the sub is just 11 inches.
More than 100,000 people have "liked" or commented on the photo, which had the caption "Subway pls respond." Lookalike pictures popped up elsewhere on Facebook. And The New York Post conducted its own investigation that found that four out of seven footlong sandwiches that it measured were shy of the 12 inches that makes a foot.

Central Virginia Prep Football Power Poll -- September 25
Monticello sits atop the inaugural Central Virginia Prep Football Power Poll. Read More
Micky Sullivan says Christian Hackenberg was "a tall, skinny tenth grader" when he first arrived at Fork Union Military Academy four years ago.
Brian Hurlocker once played football under Micky Sullivan Fork Union Military Academy, and now he is taking over as the head of the program.
Former Fork Union quarterback Christian Hackenberg just got to Happy Valley -- and he's already in contention for the starting job at Penn State.

Updated: 12/21/2012 - The big Penn State logo on the winter hat Christian Hackenberg was wearing while throwing passes on Thursday should be answer enough to anyone who still questions the Fork Union quarterback's college commitment.
