If my daughter, Betty Jo, goes trick-or-treating on Saturday, her first stop will be the homes along Buford Circle, where homeowners like Robert Sistare and Diane Gaskin will greet them with sweet treats of every size and flavor.
The Lancaster Chapter of the United Daughters of Confederacy has presented a 12-volume set of "Recollections and Reminiscences 1861-1865 through World War I," to the Del Webb Library in Indian Land. The 12-volume set was compiled by the UDC from diaries, journals, newspaper articles dating as far back as 1896 and personal interviews of South Carolina soldiers and their family members. They were published in 1986 as an educational resource.
The dirt road that crosses the small pond dam at Jim Mahaffey's Used Cars and Parts looks like the perfect setting for a scary movie. Covered in a thick canopy of pine trees, very little sunlight penetrates to the red clay. Narrow and winding with slanted shoulders on both sides just wide enough for a wagon, it isn't very much of a road. Crossing it by the light of day is no cup of tea, so just imagine how frightening it can be during a moonlight hayride.
Louis Fenchel joined the Worthington (Ky.) Volunteer Fire Department at the age of 16. That's a little too young to become a firefighter. And the fire department had to bend its age requirement to accommodate. But there were some other factors. "This was in 1965. Vietnam was in full swing and there were few able-bodied men left in the area," Fenchel said.
"An Enchanted Evening: The Music of Broadway," a delightful evening of music spanning six decades of stage shows will be in Lancaster this week. This concert is 7:30 p.m. Friday at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster's Bundy Auditorium. Tickets are $45 each.
Back by popular demand, the Atlanta Sacred Chorale (ASC) is returning to Lancaster. The nationally known chorale will present its 2010-11 program, Awake the Dawn, at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at First United Methodist Church, 200 W. Gay St. The concert is the 14th of the Vivian Major Robinson concert series, sponsored by the Lancaster County Council of the Arts. Concert admission is free, thanks to endowment funding. The 40-plus members of the chamber choir, directed by Dr. Eric Nelson, are a mixture of professional and amateur musicians.
From Day One, Michael Pardue's life has been tough.
He was born with cystic fibrosis, an inherited chronic terminal disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 people in the United States.
But after struggling with just catching his breath for 24 years, the son of Joey Pardue and Len and Judy Robinson is now breathing a little easier.
Michael underwent a double lung transplant during eight hours of surgery at the University of North Carolina Hospitals in Chapel Hill on Oct. 1.
KERSHAW – Ryan Phillips and Luke Pittman never got the sub sandwiches they were promised on Nov. 1, 2009, when they agreed to ride over into Kershaw County with Luke's mom, Kelly Pittman, to pick up his younger sister, Grace, who was baby-sitting.
Kelly's sandwich bribe was pretty much forgotten about. But what the two boys – Life Scouts in Boy Scout Troop 74 – did that night hasn't.
If you haven't driven through the College Place subdivision adjacent to the University of South Carolina at Lancaster on Hubbard Drive, you are missing a treat.
Not only is the development beginning to fill with beautiful homes, the lawns are immaculately landscaped.
One of those yards is especially eye-catching and grabbed the attention of Lancaster Garden Club member Joyce Morin.
Morin said the yard of George and Yvonne Dobson, at 1040 Lyndon Drive, really stands out.
Every teenage girl has her own unique style when is comes to tunes, food, colors and decorations.
For Andrew Jackson High School sophomore Tori Roberts, that includes country and contemporary Christian music, Caesar salads, green and polka dots.
With those kinds of tastes, you would think that Tori's Sweet 16 birthday party at 6 p.m. Saturday at First Baptist Church in Kershaw might include some of those elements.
After all, a 16th birthday is special and only comes around once.
When it comes to giving the body the energy it needs, setting the stage for metabolic function and getting the intestinal tract on track, breakfast is still plain good for you.
Yet, fewer than half of Americans (about 44 percent) eat breakfast each day, according to the International Food Information Council.
The reasoning is simple; a morning meal breaks an eight to 10-hour fast and replenishes the body's supply of blood glucose, which is needed to keep a body going throughout the day.
There's a reason why people lock their doors at night, said Lancaster Fire Department Chief Chris Nunnery.
"Everyone likes to feel safe in their homes," Nunnery said.
But many of these same home-owners don't check smoke alarms to make sure they are working properly as an added safety measure.
And to Nunnery, the principal is the same.
Two of Christian music's favorite voices are coming to Lancaster this weekend.
Ivan "The Voice" Parker will perform at 7 p.m. tonight at Second Baptist Church as part of the 2010 GlennMark Concert Series.
Christian recording artist Janet Paschal will sing at 10:30 a.m. Sunday during the morning worship service at Springdell Baptist Church.
Regularly featured on Bill Gaither's Homecoming Video and Concert Series, and a member of the Gaither Trio, Parker was the lead singer of Gold City quartet for more than 10 years.
During the summer of 2010, there was a host of blessed individuals, churches and organizations that shared bread, skills and time to benefit people served by Kershaw Area Resource Exchange (KARE).
"Their contributions have made a tremendous difference in how the non-profit serves its clients in the Kershaw area," said KARE volunteer and treasurer Martha Ussery.
A portion of a $110,00 grant from the J. Marion Sims Foundation, along with other financial resources, was used to help pay for a new computer system and networking upgrades.
It's estimated the average human brain weighs between 2.25 and 3 pounds.
The body's lightweight nerve center of thinking and process has been researched, dissected, cataloged and studied for hundreds of years in an effort to figure out how its amazing parts talk to each other.
To this day, no one is quite sure how that happens, but now, thanks to a ground-breaking study and report co-authored by Lancaster native Dr. Richard H. Thompson, there is a new way to trace those communication routes.
The average American eats 25 pounds of rice per year.
A healthy, versatile and economical staple around the world, rice made its first appearance in the new world in the late 1680s, according to the USA Rice Federation.
Rice lore has it that a storm-battered ship sailed into Charles Town (Charleston).
To pay the colonist for repairing his ship, the captain gave the small quantity of "Golde Seed Rice," which was named for its color, to a Lowcountry planter.
Happy Lee Ferree was wearing two smiles at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw on Wednesday.
One, painted on his helmet, is a testament to the name given him by his parents, Patty, and the late Dennis Ferree.
"They named me that because they never thought they could have a child," the Grass Valley, Calif., native said.
The second smile, worn inside his helmet, is a testament to why the 24-year-old Snap-On Tools Pro Truck Series driver was in Kershaw this week to start with.
For Missouri's Sara Evans, every little piece of the puzzle doesn't always fit.
But it's a puzzle that she's putting back together.
Sidelined by a bitter divorce in 2006 after 13 years of marriage, the traditional singer whose heartfelt songs hit close to home will perform inside the Bundy Auditorium at the University of South Carolina at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Since arriving on Nashville's Music Row in the early 1990s, the soulful Evans has put together a string of hits that is hard to match.
Each weekday morning, a group of men meet inside the Humana Cafeteria on Main Street to discuss the ills of the world, the weather, college football, crime and politics between sips of hot coffee.
"This is one of the places I get my marching orders from," said Lancaster Mayor Joe Shaw, who is a "first-shift regular," along with Charlie Bundy, Larry Cauthen, former Sheriff Wilford Faile and Donald Hunter.
They arrive some time between 7:30 and 8 a.m. and leave just before 9 a.m. when the "second shift" reports in.
Back in the woods off John Everall Road, nestled beneath a stand of hardwood trees beside a meadow of fresh cut hay is a very special place.
You can't see it from the road. For that matter, you can't even see it from Nancy Westmoreland's back yard.
But if you follow the pasture pathway that her dad, Bill Westmoreland, keeps mowed to get there, you'll find it once you know where to look.
The seven rings of patterned, jagged quartz rock in the edge of the woods didn't appear like a magical crop circle. This is no publicity stunt.

Category: Princess Grace's bridesmaids
The Royal Wedding has inspired Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel to look at bridesmaid names of the past as well as the present.
Wedding season is upon us. On Friday, Kate and William got things started with a bang, commanding a global audience in the billions. The number of journalists reporting on the nuptials far exceeded the number of notables inside Westminster Abbey, and every tiny detail was dissected – from the guest list to the guests' hats.
Later in May, Judd Apatow's latest flick, Bridesmaids, puts a very different spin on tying the knot. Saturday Night Live's Kristen Wiig co-wrote the script and stars as beleaguered maid of honor Annie. Wiig joins countless women who have donned bridesmaid dresses on the silver screen, but the flick promises to be unusual. Very few movies have put the tafetta-clad supporting players front and center.
It turns out that bridesmaids' names are tricky to track down. Even the most high profile weddings list attendants as something of an afterthought. Edith Wharton's Age of Innocence mentions Newland Archer and May Welland's eight bridesmaids more than once, but we hear more about their bouquets than their identities. In Father of the Bride, the quartet of lovely young women surrounding Elizabeth Taylor's Kay are equally nameless.
Dig a little deeper, and stylish options can be found among those supporting players. From high profile real life weddings to movie marriages, here are a few stand-outs.
Bettina – One of the legendary Grace Kelly's bridesmaids
Clementine - A tiny attendant in the 1981 wedding of Lady Diana Spencer to Prince Charles

Frito Pie and the Chip Technology that Changed the World
The curvy chips crinkle and crunch. Top the salty, golden corn chips with chili and you've got yourself a Frito pie, sometimes portioned out right inside the silvery, single-serving bag. The Frito pie is also known as a "walking taco," "pepperbellies," "Petro's," "jailhouse tacos," or officially—under Frito-Lay North America, Inc.'s trademarked "packaged meal combination consisting primarily of chili or snack food dips containing meat or cheese corn-based snack foods, namely, corn chips"—the Fritos Chili Pie®. Call it what you will. It's a soupy, creamy street food that's recently entered the realm of haute cuisine.
Fritos got their start in Texas with the "Tom Edison of snack food." The legend goes something like this, as Betty Fussell writes in The Story of Corn: "In San Antonio in 1932, a man named [Charles] Elmer Doolin bought a five-cent package of corn chips at a small café, liked what he ate and tracked down the Mexican who made them." In another version of the story, Clementine Paddleford writes:
The flavor tickled his fancy, it lingered in memory. He found the maker was a San Antonian of Mexican extraction who claimed to be the originator of the thin ribbons of corn. The Mexican, he learned, was tired of frying the chips; he wanted to go home to Mexico and would be glad to sell out.
The café was more likely an icehouse, and the man who made the corn chip was named Gustavo Olquin, according to C.E. Doolin's daughter Kaleta, who wrote a 2011 book Fritos Pie: Stories, Recipes, and More. She says her father worked briefly as a fry cook for Olquin and paid Olquin and his unnamed business partner $100 for a customized, hand-operated potato ricer, their 19 business accounts and the recipe for fritos—the patentable Anglo re-branding of Mexican fritas, or "little fried things." Doolin borrowed $20 from the business partner; the rest came from his mother, Daisy Dean Doolin, who hocked her wedding ring for $80.
C. E. Doolin tinkered around with the recipe, mechanized the chipping process, and, in 1933, patented a "Dough Dispensing and Cutting Device" and trademarked the Fritos name. He worked on breeding custom varieties of hybrid corn. Doolin invented a "Bag Rack" and adopted the now-familiar practice of deliberately misspelling products to draw attention—"Krisp Tender Golden Bits of Corn Goodness."
Whether fritas become fritos as an accidental Anglofication or as a deliberate "sensational spelling"—in the vein of Dunkin' Donuts, Froot Loops, Rice Krispies—remains something of an open question. Prior to Doolin's trademark, though, fritos does not appear to have referred to fried corn chips in Mexican Spanish. Either way, snack foods with distinctive, masculine "Os" persevered: Doolin would go on to create Cheetos and Fritatos; the company he founded would introduce Doritos and Tostitos.
What's remarkable in retrospect is that he appears to have intended Fritos as a side dish or even an ingredient. In fact, the first recipe Daisy Dean Doolin came up with in 1932 was a "Fritos Fruit Cake"; its ingredients include candied fruits, pecans and crushed Fritos. Another early recipe for a company contest submitted by the woman who would later became C.E. Doolin's wife, Mary Kathryn Coleman, described a "Fritoque Pie," a chicken casserole with crushed Fritos. Her prize: $1. (This recipe has been lost and the lack of documentation probably contributes to competing claims about Frito pie's origins at a New Mexico Woolworth's in the 1960s.)
Pies aside, the fried corn chips became a pantry staple and an easy-to-use replacement for cornmeal, salt, and oil. Their versatility was practically unlimited. Advertisements from the 1940s said, "They're good for breakfast, lunch, snack-time and dinner."
Even more surprising for a man who revolutionized American corn chips and presaged the meteoric rise of the "Anglo corn chip," which firmly cemented itself when Frito-Lay's unveiled Doritos in 1966: Doolin did not eat meat or salt. He was a devoted follower of Herbert Shelton, a Texas healer, who ran for president on the American Vegetarian Party ticket.
I thought this transformation of Fritos loosely mirrored that of the Graham cracker, a whole-wheat health food that evolved into a sugary snack. I called his daughter, Kaleta Doolin, and asked about the apparent disconnect. "Fritos have always been a salty snack," she said, "unless you're at the factory and take them off the assembly line before they go through the salter, which is what we did."
As much scorn and derision as today's leading nutritional gurus heap onto processed foods, it's worth noting that Fritos arrived here by way of a Mesoamerican staple and their invention and flavor owes a debt to one of the greatest food processing technologies ever invented: nixtamalization. The 3,000-year-old tradition adding calcium hydroxide—wood ash or lime—so greatly enriches the available amino acids in masa corn that Sophie Coe writes in America's First Cuisines that the process underlies "the rise of Mesoamerican civilization." Lacking this technology, early Europeans and Americans (who considered corn fit for slaves and swine) learned that eating a diet exclusively based on unprocessed corn led to pellagra, a debilitating niacin deficiency causing dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia and death.
As we approach one of the biggest snack days of the year and as "Anglo corn chips" continue to make up an increasing percentage of the snack foods market, perhaps it's also worth celebration the incredible corn processing technology that brought us masa, tortillas fritas, Late Night All Nighter Cheeseburger-flavored Doritos and, of course, the Frito pie.

"Pepperbelly"? I've heard that before, but not in reference to a Frito Pie.
I had no idea that fritos had been around that long. (I was also not aware how regional Frito Pies were until I traveled to Chicago and no one had ever heard of them!)
What a wonderful story. Without Charles Elmer Doolin, Gustavo Olguin and Jose Bartolome Martinez the landscape of American snack food would be markedly different.
I wrote a story about the life of Doolin here.

Austin, Texas -
I had Frito pie for lunch almost every day when I was a lifeguard in San Antonio during my college years in the early 80s. Bag ripped open, drizzled with chili and garnished with onions and cheese.
I was surprised to see Frito pie at the little corner deli by house in Milwaukee last year, so I tried it.
What a disappointment. Bless their hearts.
I remind myself that I can't get cheese curds and brats in Texas, so why should I expect good Frito pie here?
So will chicken fried steak become the next big thing outside of Texas? This is what it looks like:
Enjoyed reading this.
Here's something from a 2007 Fort Worth Star-Telegram column about Fritos:
San Antonio Public Library researchers checked old city directories and found a Gustavo Olguin listed from 1925 to 1932. A 1931 clipping in The Dallas Morning News identified him as a soccer coach from Mexico.
He lived on a street named Ashby Place northwest of downtown San Antonio.
Last week, I found a classified ad in an online search of the San Antonio Express.
For a week in July 1932, an unnamed reader offered:
"CORN chips business for sale, a new food product, making good money. Must sacrifice."
The ad listed no name. All it gave was an address–Olguin's address on Ashby Place.
Other Express reports described Olguin as a winning soccer coach and manager of the San Antonio team in a Mexico-based league. In a photo, he grinned broadly and showed off his championship trophies.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram -
Mr. Bud,
thanks for the info, very cool :)
Here in Central California, what is called a Frito Pie in the article is known as a Frito Boat. I've had them since I was a kid in the '70′s.
Re. Eliot's comment — it's true, I live in Chicago (and grew up in Michigan), and I had never heard of this wonderful-sounding dish called "Frito Pie". However, in these parts, it's common to top a bowl of chili with crushed-up Fritos, so… I guess it's the same — but different!
Doritos weren't unveiled in 1966; they were introduced at Disneyland in the early 1960s:
My favorite snack was the 5-cent little bag of Fritos sold at my high school cafeteria! Shows how old I am-this was in early 60′s. Still my preferred indulgence-with or without chili or salsa (and I'm from Connecticut!
For many years I have been making something very much like this. In a large round dish I place a layer of Tostitos multi-grain rounds, then empty a can of Stagg chile over top, then cover with another layer of Tostitos, then some cheese and peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc. Bake and serve, Delicious.
My husband's father, Ralph P. Kelley, was the first Frito Salesman. At that time Elmer Doolin and, I believe, his wife, were the only ones in the business. I had not heard about the original restaurant and the Mexican National. The way I heard, (this is not gospel) when Mr Kelley was first employed, the business was in Daisy and Elmer's garage. I don't know exactly; but, through some deal regarding Mr. Kelley providing his own truck, or not, commissions, or not, and becoming an equal partner, or not, he chose not to become a partner in the company. Be careful of your choices in life. What a bad choice. However, though not becoming extremely wealthy, all during the Great Depression he did provide very well for his wife and family that ultimately included eight children.
Fritos–one of my favorite, all-time snacks, especially for road trips. (My Mom was also a fan and the one who got me started.)
Now I want to try a fritos fruit cake!

Enjoy an atmosphere of the past while relaxing with modern amenities!
The Colonial Inn is located just 20 minutes from Atlantic City and is the perfect location for a relaxing retreat and a little fun! We are located in the Historic Towne of Smithville with its over 60 unique shoppess, 7 eateries, paddle boats, and over 30 free weekend events. The village offers much to do and all within walking distance of the Colonial Inn room.
The historic town of Smithville is just a 20-minute drive from Atlantic City, but it seems to be from a different century. Cobblestone streets, footbridges, and early American-style specialty stores hark back to the days before the Revolutionary War. Situated in the heart of town, the Colonial Inn fits in nicely with these surroundings.
Each individually decorated guest room captures the simplicity and elegance of the olden days with quilted bedspreads and solid-wood furnishings.
The inn's period decor is counterbalanced by comfortable, modern amenities such as steam showers in the private bathrooms . Standard and deluxe rooms comfortably accommodate two guests.
A breakfast of muffins and juice is served in the morning. Later, you can snack on cookies and tea in the lobby

Someday we'll be reading a Nahla "Mommie Dearest" type book.
I'm sorry people....but you know I CAN'T STAND HALLE BERRY!!
On Thanksgiving morning, Halle's ex-boyfriend, GABRIEL AUBRY, was at her house in West Hollywood, California to give Halle their four-year-old daughter Nahla for the weekend.
He started arguing with Halle's current fiancé, OLIVIER MARTINEZ, in the driveway and then it got VIOLENT.
According to the police, Gabriel took a swing at Olivier.
He probably did NOT know that Olivier's father was a professional boxer and Olivier used to do some competitive boxing himself. So Olivier easily took him down and ended up landing a few good shots to Gabriel's face and body.
Gabriel went to the hospital with a broken rib, some bruises on his face, and a possible head injury. Olivier also went to the SAME hospital with a possible broken hand and some neck injuries.
Gabriel was arrested for misdemeanor battery.
He claims Olivier started the fight and if the cops look at the footage from Halle's security tapes they'll see HE was the victim.
Early Christmas present from Charlie?
Charlie just gave LINDSAY LOHAN a check for $100,000 to pay off part of her IRS tax debt. It's not clear if it's a loan or a present. But what IS clear is that he sent it, she cashed it, and it went straight to the IRS.
Charlie and Lindsay became friends while they were filming cameos for "Scary Movie 5" in September.
Lindsay owes the government $233,904 in unpaid taxes from 2009 and 2010, so Charlie just knocked out about half of that debt. Lindsay is set to make $2 MILLION this year so she SHOULD be able to pay off the rest . . . but who knows.
On a very special Blossom.......
Last week, right before Thanksgiving, MAYIM BIALIK announced that she and her husband, Michael Stone, are getting divorced after nine years of marriage. Mayim is 36.
She and Michael have two sons together, a seven-year-old named Miles and a four-year-old named Fred.
They cited irreconcilable differences and said, quote, "Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose."
Really Kris??
KRIS JENNER told VH1, Kris talked about her most recent boob job and said, quote, "everyone needs a fresh set every 20 years." She says her last boob job before this was in 1988.
She also says she can't hide it when she gets plastic surgery because, quote, "I have cameras in my house 24-7. I can't just go, 'I'm going for coffee,' and come back with new boobs."
According to a new interview with STEVEN SPIELBERG, back in the late '70s when he was just coming off"Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", he wanted to direct a James Bond movie.
But the producer, CUBBY BROCCOLI, told him NO.
Spielberg says, quote, "I've never asked again. Instead, I made the 'Indiana Jones' series." That's right: If Spielberg had gotten a "yes" on directing a Bond film, we might not have "Indiana Jones".
Spielberg is still a huge Bond fan, even though they rejected him three decades ago. He says he saw"Skyfall" . . . and can't wait to see it a second time.

Collages filled with memories were on display, people in the front lobby signed guest books and readied to take guided tours, and workers and volunteers filled the auxiliary meeting room to reminisce and celebrate a milestone.
What was once a small hospital seemingly in the middle of nowhere, Cape Coral Hospital has become unrecognizable from the original as it celebrated 35 years on Sunday with an open house, which featured tours of the hospital, including the emergency department and an operating room, and free health screenings.
It also featured memories of a facility that has grown by leaps and bounds since it opened in 1977 on a two-lane Del Prado Boulevard.

Joanne Dallas, past president of the hospital auxiliary, looks at the Auxiliary display at the 35th anniversary celebration of Cape Coral Hospital.
"We get to celebrate all the wonderful things that have happened in the past 35 years and get a glimpse of what's to come," said Chief Administrative Officer Scott Kashman. "This hospital is here for the community, created by the community and has served as the heart of the community."
People crammed into the festive meeting room to have some snacks and learn about the hospital's history through the dozens of collages made by the individual departments.
Joanne Dallas, a former auxiliary president, admired its collage.
"Lots of old friends here," Dallas remarked. "It's changed somewhat, but as long as we have leaders, we'll be fine."
The event featured remarks from Kashman, as well as other staff and dignitaries, some of whom have worked at the hospital from day one. Like David Bateman, who started out stocking the hospital's supplies and equipment and became the hospital's lead technician.
"In the early days I got to work in different departments, in the OR and set up traction. We got a lot of learning experience," Bateman said. "Computer technology has changed a lot of what we do here."
Another is Donna Giannuzzi, Lee Memorial Health System Chief Patient Care Officer, who started as a nurse when the hospital opened.
"Our first patient was a man with a catfish barb in his foot. He had to go to surgery because we couldn't get it," Giannuzzi said.
And another is Paul Sanborn, former member of the board of trustees, who remembered the day they broke ground and held the ribbon-cutting.
"We broke ground with gold bedpans. Sen. Connie Mack III was shoveling the dirt with one," Sanborn said. "For the ribbon-cutting we used rolls of gauze and surgical scissors to cut the ribbon."
But it was the words of Dr. Thomas Carrasquillo, associate medical director, who gave the most profound words.
"Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Pine island, you gave us a mandate to take care of you - not a request, a mandate - and we have," Carrasquillo said.
Also making comments were Lee Memorial Health System President Jim Nathan; Gillian Paterson, a 36-year volunteer; Mayor John Sullivan; and City Councilman Kevin McGrail.
Many of the visitors then took guided tours of the hospital and a video "Family of Friends" played for those who stayed in the meeting room.
But what seemed most exciting to many wasn't the last 35 years, but the 35 years yet to come.
"We have the capacity to continue to grow. That's the exciting part of people continuing to come to our town," said Wendy Piascik, vice president of Patient Care Services. "We can continually evolve here and grow along with Lee Memorial Health System."
Cape Coral Hospital is at 636 Del Prado Blvd, S.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion. As a beginner local small farmer currently looking for land, my biggest obstacle is finding financial assistance and business support. This amendment could help me get my farm started as well as help many of the other small beginning farmers find the resources they need to start or keep their farms and continue to provide local food that is in such high demand. This amendment that will emphasis investing in small local farmers will be a great help in
building a stronger local and regional food system which in turn will assure national security, community well-bing, health, food justice and spur the local economy.
Please include in FCS marketing plan:
1. A plan for conducting outreach to local and regional food producers 2. A commitment to adding local and regional food producers to the FCS board. 3. A plan for developing lending and business support products with terms and benefits appropriate for local and regional food producers.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admissions occur for between 8-10% of Nebraska Births but account for at least 40% of the newborn screening follow-up work load. The intensive care and treatment received by these newborns, as well as their own physiology and possible prenatal exposures, create multiple interferences with obtaining reliable screening results. In 2009 the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute adopted I/LA-31 Guidelines for Newborn Screening of Premature, Low Birth Weight and Sick newborns. Some of the goals of the guidelines are to ensure consistent and complete screening, minimize the risk of a delayed or missed diagnosis, and to optimize the timing and minimize the number of specimens needed. In 2011 Nebraska adopted the general recommendations of these guidelines via regulation. For more information, see these attached updates, and refer to the Newborn Screening Regulations on the Links and Resources page.

Find Cheap Gas
Octane, a new app on the iTunes store, helps you find the cheapest gas
As oil prices rise, driving has become as much about finding cheap gas as driving from point A to point B. Here to help alleviate that nervous feeling of passing by one gas station in the hope the next one will be cheaper is Wright Express, a South Portland-based provider of information management solutions, with a new free app called Octane. It's the industry's first fuel-site locator app with up-to-date prices to help you find the cheapest gas in the area. You can use this app as you take long drives this summer, or use it like you do most informational apps: to prove you're right about something during a dinner table argument. Either way, this app — which features text-to-speech technology that allows you to use it while driving — will come in handy during long family road trips across Maine. Octane app can be downloaded from the iTunes store or the Android Marketplace.

Just as thieves scheme and plot methods of stealing cash from casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, they also try to come up with ways to hack into online casinos. Each online casino's cashier system works day in and day out handling the financial transfers of the site's players. Players come to play and don't want to worry whether a hacker will have their credit card or bank account information via their favorite online casino. Naturally, online casinos are aware of security concerns and provide many types of protection for their customers.
Casinos use Secure Socket Layer, or SSL, encryption procedures as a dominant precautionary measure. By using SSL, players' personal information is jumbled up using computer codes that make the information nearly indecipherable to hackers who may intercept the transmission. Most online casinos have taken to using the latest, most recently developed SSL encryption to protect their players. Personal information is stored on the servers of the online casino, and there is adequate protection.
Firewalls are in place to protect servers from unauthorized access. Strict regulations allow only senior casino staff to have access to information stored on the servers via a series of passwords. Every keystroke made by any casino staff member is recorded and can be reviewed for misconduct. Security systems embedded inside a casino's software are designed by an outside firm like VeriSign, whose security systems are tested and verified by outside sources. Players may only access the casino through a username and password that only the player knows. Reputable casinos require players to have an individual account and personal identification number that must be used when withdrawing winnings from the casino. For players' safety, many casinos automatically log players out when they navigate away from the site. For personal security, all players should deactivate the ability for their favorite online casino to "remember" their log in name and password.

Worth the Price of Admission
Lynn Greer (Fenerbahce Ulker) vs. Terrell McIntyre (Montepaschi Siena) – Europe's smaller, less injury-prone version of T-Mac is the best point guard on the continent, but it was only a few years ago that Lynn Greer may have held that distinction. With Fenerbahce's release of combo guard Willie Solomon earlier this week, it's Greer's car to drive against McIntyre and Montepaschi. Luckily for us, both of these guys have terrific shot blockers behind them on defense, so if they want to spark the offense it'll have to be on the perimeter. That means the fireworks will be crackling in plain sight, which should promote a one-on-one scenario rarely present in European offenses.
Whippersnapper of the Week
Giorgi Shermadini | 20 | 7-1 | C | Panathinaikos
One look at the lanky fella from Georgia (the country) doesn't evoke fantasies of powerful drop steps and monstrous jams. Shawn Kemp, he is not. But Shermadini is far more bouncy than he appears and is actually quite competent off the dribble. If ever there were a chance to prove himself against the best in the world, he's stumbled upon it this season in Athens. With starter Mike Batiste and key reserve Kostas Tsartsaris out to start the year, Shermadini has been thrust prematurely into the rotation. After fouling out with 2 points in 12 minutes in his first game, he scored 10 on 4-6 shooting in 11 minutes the next time around and last week he hit both of his shots and both of his free throws for 6 points in 10 minutes. Don't expect him to unseat the vets once they've rehabbed, but once Panathinaikos has clinched a Top 16 berth, Shermadini might get some serious minutes to fiddle around with.
Now, to the games…
Group A
Cibona (0-3) vs. Zalgiris (1-2) – Nobody wants to see the 15-time Croatian champs go winless, but they'll be a tough sell until they stop putting up high school numbers on offense (54 points per game, 21 percent on three-pointers). If they can't find an answer down low for Travis Watson, they could be in for another long one. Zalgiris.
Fenerbahce Ulker (2-1) vs. Montepaschi Siena (3-0) – Montepaschi's record-setting defense (they held Cibona to 40 points in week one) could be in trouble if the three-headed Fenerbahce mammoth of Oguz Savas, Semih Erden and Omer Asik all put their best feet forward. Fortunately for Siena, those feet often end up tangled, in foul trouble, and clogging up the lane for the likes of Lynn Greer and Gordan Giricek. Montepaschi.
Regal FC Barcelona (3-0) vs. Asvel Basket (0-3) – This would have been a waltz for Rubio and the boys last week even without Juan Carlos Navarro, so the resurrection of the reigning MVP doesn't bode well for the Frenchmen. Asvel's got enough talent to sneak in a win or three, but Barca's too deep to fall asleep at the wheel. Barcelona.
Group B
Entente Orleanaise (0-3) vs. Unicaja Malaga (3-0) – Life is good in Malaga: Joel Freeland is blossoming a year earlier than expected, Taquan Dean is happy, healthy and heaving shots, and Omar Cook has finally struck a balance between speed and precision. There are not as many nice things to say about Orleans. Unicaja.
Lietuvos Rytas (2-1) vs. Partizan (1-2) – With Aleks Maric putting up numbers and Lawrence Roberts in tow, 19-year-old Jan Vesely is finally free to shake off the leadership role and just play his game. Let that pressure roll off of your skinny shoulders, young man. It's time to play. Partizan.
Olympiacos (2-1) vs. Efes Pilsen (1-2) – Last year's scoring champ Igor Rakocevic hasn't scored more than 14 yet this year, so this could be the week where he finally clicks with his new Efes teammates. Olympiacos doesn't care if he scores 40. It won't be enough to hang with Josh, Linas, Von and the gang. Olympiacos.
Group C
Maroussi BC (1-2) vs. Caja Laboral (1-2) – Caja Laboral's Marcelinho Huertas had been running the point as well as nearly anyone in Europe entering week 3. Then he dropped 21 points on Union Olimpija. Then he tore a muscle in his left thigh. Oops. Now, the backcourt duties fall squarely into the 22-year-old hands of Pau Ribas. The first thing he'll have to learn: give the ball to Tiago Splitter and Lior Eliyahu and get out of the way. The second: stay out of the way. Maroussi will be an unwilling practice dummy. Caja Laboral.
CSKA Moscow (1-2) vs. Union Olimpija (0-3) – Despite CSKA's early struggles—their lone win came on a Viktor Khryapa buzzer beater in week 1—Union Olimpija just keeps proving that each game can be more disappointing than its predecessor. The fact that they've wasted Matt Walsh's back-to-back brilliance in their own arena—36 and 29 points respectively—is enough to make a Slovenian sick. CSKA Moscow.
Lottomatica Roma (3-0) vs. Maccabi Electra (2-1) – I'm afraid this is where Roma's surprising little jumpstart runs out of juice. Although Ibby Jaaber has been the architect of this prodigious beginning, it's been the activity of Roma's big men that has shoved them over the top. Maccabi's D'Or Fischer, Stephane Lasme and Maciej Lampe may occasionally be outscored, but they'll rarely be out-hustled and they'll never be outclassed athletically. Maccabi.
Group D
Asseco Prokom (1-2) vs. Panathinaikos (2-1) – David Logan's a nice scorer. Really nice. But Dimitris Diamantidis treats really nice scorers like afternoon snacks. The champs don't lose twice in a row, I don't care where or who they're playing. Panathinaikos.
EWE Baskets Oldenburg (1-2) vs. Real Madrid (2-1) – After three weeks, one thing has been become painfully clear in Oldenburg: starting point guard Daniel Hain was not the German League MVP last year. That'd be Jason Gardner, who's sidelined with back problems. Without their fire starter, EWE's uptempo offense has fizzled. They'll need a huge day from Rickey Paulding just to keep it close. Real Madrid.
AJ Milano (1-2) vs. BC Khimki (2-1) – With speed at the point (Morris Finley), scorers on the wings (Alex Acker, Jonas Maciulis), and a rock down low (Marius Petravicius), AJ Milano is Real Madrid Lite. Khimki's blend of talent was enough to knock off the full flavored version in week one, so they should be able to handle the impersonators. BC Khimki.

Dodd Camera holds a series of of photography workshops to get you acquainted with new gear and the world around you. Setting your alarm early and paying a minimal $5 fee will not only get you a gigantic breakfast muffin, expert guidance, camaraderie found only in other photo buffs, but also include "test-driving" any number of lenses to get you closer to the critters of your choice.
With the many migrating birds and beautiful fall colors many people chose to explore the bird world, although there were other programs available. There is a lot to the technical side of capturing the images, but here are a few quick tips to hone your skills.
Look before you click:
- what will attract birds to this location
- where is the food, water and shelter
- how is the light falling (time of day as well as cloudy or clear skies)
Check out your best angle
- where is the the sun and the shadows from the trees
- what is your ideal shot (what kinds of birds do you hope to spot)
Be prepared
- dress warmly in may layers with good shoes/boots
- bring tripod or monopod
- don't forget your own snacks and water
- with yourself
- with the equipment (which seems to malfunction when you most need it)
- and the birds you hope to capture

Want to see what the future could look like for working mothers? Look inside a company run by one.
Go ahead, point out that Marissa Mayer, the CEO of Yahoo, hasn't exactly made life easier for the working mothers at her company when she banned telecommuting. But if you look past Mayer, at the more than 8 million companies owned or led by women, you will find leaders at the helm who are creating workplaces where I'd want to work.
Many of these women bosses are leading their companies much differently than men. They are socially conscious, interested in mentoring, willing to grant flexibility and making an effort to pay fairly. They are using a style of leadership that's attractive not only to women but to men, too.
And guess what? Their companies make money.
Sure, there are great male leaders. Ask a room full of people whether they would have wanted to work for Steve Jobs and most hands would shoot way up without hesitation. Not mine.
I would rather work for Christine Day, the CEO of Lululemon Athletica, a mother of three who wears exercise apparel to corporate meetings. Day is considered one of the most successful female chief executives of a public company and has tapped into what women want, not just in the workout products they buy, but also in the place where they work.
After a 20-year-journey through the ranks of Starbucks, Day now uses a collaborative style of leadership to empower her employees and build a company that can grow fast while remaining nimble.
Today, 50 percent of Lululemon's board and 80 percent of the senior leadership team are women. Day gave a pay increase to all employees making less than $85,000. She initiated a flexible return to work program for all new mothers in the headquarters and stores. And, she encourages her employees to exercise, participating alongside them in in-store fitness classes whenever possible.
"We've developed a very high performing company," Day recently told Katie Couric. "…There are things I've done that change the way we work."
We've all heard the claims, the theories, and the speculation about the ways leadership styles vary between women and men. Men are considered more strategic. Women are more nurturing, natural problem solvers, good at developing others and building relationships. Researchers say those traits are helping women build companies that can positively impact families and communities.
It's not just how women lead that's inspiring to me. Many female CEOs are better about giving flexibility, providing onsite childcare, allowing pets at work and offering training and opportunities to advance. That trend will be increasingly important with women-led businesses expected to generate one-third of new U.S. jobs by 2018.
Most importantly, women leaders see value in mentoring. In Florida, a new study by The Commonwealth Institute South Florida shows women led-organizations are flourishing and carefully finding employees who fit the culture. Although worried about growing and maintaining profitability, women leaders still consider mentoring others to be valuable to their organizations. More than three quarters of the women said they spend time informally developing other women for leadership in their organization.
Finding time to mentor while growing her business has become increasingly challenging for Donna Abood, chairman and founding partner of Colliers International South Florida, a commercial real estate firm listed as one of TCI's top women-led companies. But Abood feels she and other women leaders are more willing to take time to do it anyway. "I'll stop and explain things, bring them into meetings, include them in emails,'' — even spend a few hours mentoring one-on-one.

What are key points of mobile UI accessibility? What is a difference between mobile and desktop accessibility? Is there any recommendations we can use?
closed as not a real question by Ben Brocka♦ Apr 28 '12 at 23:35
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This is a very broad topic. What's the context? Is this for a standalone app or a website? It depends a lot on the platform -- a touchscreen works quite differently than a trackball interface for instance, and a hi-resolution device will behave differently than a low-res one (and remember screen size varies widely, too!). Be sure to check the web - Jakob Nielsen has some thoughts on this as well. Some general thoughts on this:
Good luck! | ||||
