Higgins: SOTU: Not Ready For Prime TimeWritten by Tim Higgins | | firstname.lastname@example.com
We got a break from a disappointing TV and movie award show season to watch a political one instead. Like the performances in it's sad predecessors however, it's difficult to know what to be more disappointed about in this week's State of the Union address. The whole things seemed like little more recycled material from writers worn out by their boss's prodigious 'speechifying' that failed even as a "Best of …" effort. Even a fine performance by the 'First Actor' couldn't save a tired and lackluster script.
For example, the President crowed about an Executive Order he signed to begin the process of raising the minimum wage on federally-funded projects to $10.10 per hour. Unfortunately, this order won't effect existing federal contracts or those being renewed. Because many federal contracts provide favoritism to companies using union labor, it's really little more than window dressing, likely to affect less than ten percent of the workforce used. Progress … maybe, but it still puts him behind States and Municipalities using federal funds covered under 'living wage' rules that dictate contractors must pay the equivalent of union scale?
In counterpoint he talked wage inequality in what has been at best a lackluster economy with lousy job growth under his leadership. But how can wages go up for anyone when the line stretches around the block every time Wal-Mart opens a store offering starting pay described as the problem?
Then there was the monologue about the rich getting richer: "after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better". Of course they do, when his Federal Reserve pumps over $80 billion per month into the market to insure that they do.
Some the evening was confusing, listening to a leader who's done everything in his power to shut down an abundant coal industry in this country (and the power plants that go with them), ignored continuing high prices at the gas pump, and was then crowing about energy in this country. Sure there's abundant and cheap natural gas to use in this country now, but only because we ignore government objections to the fracking process.
Of course, there was the inevitable attempt at comic relief of course with: "I'll act on my own to slash bureaucracy and streamline the permitting process for key projects, so we can get more construction workers on the job as fast as possible." Tell it to the guys at the Keystone XL pipeline, caught up in federal red tape for the last three years. Then explain the 13,000 regulations have been added to the Federal Register since this President took over in 2009. Then discuss how the Affordable Health Care Act alone has added over 10,000 pages worth of new regulations (and we're still counting). Now that's funny!
You know what? Maybe the entire concept of a State of the Union address has seen its day as a TV event. After all, the SOTU was only created so the head of the Executive branch could report to the Legislative branch. While members of the Judicial branch (the Supreme Court) show up, they certainly aren't obligated to; and neither quite frankly, are the American people.
The truth of the matter is that neither is the President. While George Washington began the tradition of doing this "from time to time" Constitutionally mandated event once a year by delivering it to a Joint Session of Congress (a practice John Adams continued), he didn't have to. Thomas Jefferson (a smart guy and maybe a bit prescient) changed it by delivering his remarks in writing; believing that the personal appearance too closely resembled the British monarch's practice of delivering a list of policy mandates to Parliament. The written version remained the preferred method until Woodrow Wilson's address in 1913. The practice then varied until FDR gave his first orally in 1934.
Perhaps this is one political event that we could do without. The President gets enough coverage as it is and the ratings on this show stink. Maybe Congress would prefer having a night off and going back to the written version. After all, we know how fond they are of reading long documents (especially before voting on them). Why not give them one more?

My previous post on osteopathic medical training–suggesting that osteopathic physicians, on average, may not be as good as doctors with MD degrees–received a flood of negative comments. In retrospect, it was too harsh.
First of all, I want to make it clear that osteopaths are doctors. They have a different degree, but a D.O. degree and an M.D. degree require essentially the same training. More important, as some comments on my last post pointed out, osteopathic physicians get their post-medical school training (residency) at conventional hospitals and medical schools. This training is identical for both groups of doctors.
I also learned something from the comments: at least one osteopathic college is ranked in the top 10 in the United States for primary care. That is quite good, especially considering that there are only 26 osteopathic schools and well over 100 medical schools. My mistake was to ignore the rankings in Primary Care, which is where Michigan State's osteopathic college shows up as number 7. I had only looked at the Research rankings, which was a mistake.
My post also included an implication that, because osteopathy was founded in the 19th century by someone (Andrew Still) with some wacky ideas, that modern-day practice still included those ideas. I didn't write this explicitly, but the suggestion was there, and that was both unfair and inaccurate. Conventional medicine included all kinds of nutty practices in the past (bloodletting, for example), but it has moved on, as has osteopathy.
So the two different paths towards becoming a doctor – pursing an M.D. and pursuing a D.O – have largely converged, and the training is largely identical. There is still a vestige of the past in osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT), which the American Osteopathic Association claims can treat such problems as asthma, sinus problems, and menstrual pain. These claims strain credulity. On the other hand, some M.D. training programs now include "complementary and alternative medicine," which (as I've written about many times) is little more than pseudoscience.
In the comments to my previous post, many of them apparently written by D.O.s or by students in D.O. programs, there was an element of hostility towards M.D.s (or towards medical schools offering M.D.s) that I found surprising. I counted over 30 references to M.D.'s as allopaths, which is a term that M.D.s themselves do not use, and that many regard as pejorative. "Allopath" was coined by Samuel Hahnemann, the inventor of homeopathy, as an intentionally critical term. This term seems to be in common use at osteopathic colleges, including the highly-ranked Michigan State program. Osteopathic training programs and their graduates should stop using this term, which is divisive and misleading.
One good thing about blogging is the feedback I get, which allows me to see a different perspective and, as in this case, to identify and correct my mistakes.
[Note: Some osteopathic physicians have objected to the term osteopath, so I have changed most of the original references to their preferred term.]

Some things are worth waiting for -- including a UFC title shot -- and Werdum has agreed to ride the pine until the rest of the division sorts itself out, according to "UFC Tonight" on FUEL TV (via Ariel Helwani). It also helps when the current champ is calling you the next contender.
He's certainly put in the work.
Werdum is in prime pouncing position after avenging a 2006 loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in the UFC on FUEL TV 10: "Nogueira vs. Werdum 2" main event, now winning three-straight fights against opponents who are, or at the time he fought them, were in the top-10 of his division.
But does UFC President Dana White "love it?"
That remains to be seen, but it's not unreasonable to think Alistair Overeem, or to a lesser extent Travis Browne, could make a case for a heavyweight championship bout with a thrilling finish this weekend at UFC Fight Night 26.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Toryshopper11 Amazing quality!!!! The detail of this bag is amazing. The leather is soft, yet durable. For a small bag, it holds plenty. I got the royal tan color and I know it will be one of my favorite handbags this fall season, you can wear it with just about anything. I'm not a big fan of the way this bag looks when worn crossbody so I think I will be wearing it without the strap. October 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sakura Beautiful Love it, love it, love it! Worth every penny! Fits my wallet and cellphone, then I'm good to go! June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SBgirl Very Cute I really love the aesthetics of the bag. I bought it because I needed a smaller bag that I could wear as a cross-body. I do get compliments on it. However, I was a bit disappointed with the inside of the bag. I purchased it on-line and didn't realize that it didn't have a pocket with a zipper. The bag does have one pocket but sometimes the pocket doesn't hold my small items in place. . Also the strap doesn't feel as sturdy as with other brands I have boughten (not a deal breaker but something I definitely noticed when I used the bag) March 12, 2014

Blue Devils show support for Eagles
Birds of a feather — and Blue Devils — flock together.
Several players from No. 5 Duke will go to work tonight against Wake Forest after having spent time this week watching Durham's other Division I team handle its business.
Duke's Tyler Thornton, Quinn Cook and Josh Hairston took in N.C. Central's 69-61 win over Morgan State on Monday.
NCCU's McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium wasn't quite Cameron Indoor Stadium in terms of decibel level, but the place was rocking a bit.
"The fans are amazing," Cook said about NCCU's crowd. "The student section, they're very into the game. The NCCU bench is always into the game. So it's always a good atmosphere."
Cook also was in McDougald-McLendon this past week when NCCU, undefeated in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, beat Howard.
"It's a good thing," Cook said. "I'm friends with a lot of guys on Central — Emanuel (Chapman), Ray (Willis)."
Chapman is NCCU's point guard, and Willis holds down the other guard spot.
Players from NCCU (13-7, 6-0 MEAC) and Duke (17-2, 4-2 ACC) saw plenty of each other during the S.J.G. Greater N.C. Pro-Am, the summer basketball league at NCCU.
"We've got a relationship with those guys from the Pro-Am," Willis said after leading NCCU with 19 points against Morgan State. "We just thank them for coming out. We can go over there and show them some support, so it's a good deal."
"That stems from even when I played," NCCU coach LeVelle Moton said.
Moton is one of the great scorers to have emerged from the Eagles basketball program, ranking third in the school's history with the 1,714 points that he accumulated from 1992-96.
During his time as an NCCU student, Moton said he would go over to Duke's campus to see what Grant Hill and Jeff Capel were up to in the ACC.
"Me and Grant were pretty close, and me and Jeff Capel were pretty close," Moton said. "They always came to see me. I always went to see them."
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has encouraged the relationship between his players and those from NCCU, Moton said.
"That's one of the things me and Coach K always talked about," Moton said. "We want those guys playing against each other in the summer. We want those guys being around each other."
And there are other reasons for visiting NCCU, Moton said.
"I know they love Duke, but North Carolina Central has a beautiful social life that these guys — they probably walked over to get to, " Moton said.
Monday's game gave Cook an opportunity to see one of his teammates from high school, Morgan State's Justin Black, who put up 20 points against NCCU.
Morgan State coach Todd Bozeman coached both Cook and Thornton when they were elementary-age kids playing basketball in the Maryland area.
Bozeman used to be the head coach at California-Berkeley.
Adding to the Duke vibe at NCCU on Monday was the presence of former Blue Devils star Gene Banks, who played in the NBA and now is a scout in the league.
"He's a legend, especially when you're talking about this game as it applies to this city," Moton said. "Just to have him with the Washington Wizards and come back and see what's going on and just evaluate our players, it's wonderful."

Literature 101
We Also Recommend
About Jewish Literature
What is Jewish literature? Literature written by Jews? Literature written in a Jewish language? Literature with Jewish content? While none of these definitions is completely satisfactory, it is obvious that the People of the Book have created a sizable corpus of secular prose and poetry. In addition, Jewish characters have appeared in the works of the world's greatest authors, and Jews have been active in the fields of publishing and literary criticism as well.
Sephardic and Ladino Literature
Sephardic literature is as hard to define as Jewish literature. Nonetheless, the Jews who lived in medieval Spain, and the descendants of those exiled from Spain in 1492, have a rich literary tradition. The most studied genre of Ladino (the Judeo-Spanish language) literature is the romancero, ballads modeled on the medieval Spanish ballads of the 14th and 15th centuries. The 17th-century poet Daniel Levi De Barrios is a good example of the cross-cultural nature of Jewish literature in general, and Sephardic literature in particular. De Barrios, who wrote in Spanish, was from a Marrano family. He lived as a Christian for many years, but for the last 25 years of his life in Amsterdam, he lived and wrote as a Jew.
Yiddish and European Jewish Literature
With the exception of a few geographical and historical pockets, the history of secular Yiddish literature begins in Eastern Europe at the end of the 19th century. At this time, writers such as Sholom Aleichem used their satirical eyes and nostalgic hearts to create the unique tragic-comic tone of Yiddish literature. Isaac Bashevis Singer, perhaps the last great Yiddish writer, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978. In western Europe, Jews were generally more assimilated than their brethren in the east, and for the most part they wrote in non-Jewish languages. As a result, the "Jewish" nature of their writing is often ambiguous. For example, the Jewish themes, influences, and sensibilities of Franz Kafka are regularly lauded, although his fiction is by no means obviously Jewish.

Brand investment has been going through many changes as a result of the recent economic crisis and, more importantly, the rise of the Internet since the 1990s. In this webcast, we explore new trends in the United States, such as the shift from purchased marketing to in-house content marketing and the expansion of marketing consulting and the shrinking of purchased advertising services. Moreover, we discuss the relationship between brand and economic development across countries. Finally, we review the business strategies to align brands with innovation.

This final report summarizes and reflects upon the key findings of the Improving EU and U.S. Immigration Systems: Learning from Experience comparative research project undertaken by MPI and the European University Institute through a grant from the European Commission.
This Council Statement from the sixth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration provides an overview of the Council's discussions on how states can work together to move beyond the mantra of "global governance," and begin taking concrete actions in pursuit of a shared agenda of safe, secure, legal, and orderly migration.
الأردنية ودعم اقتصاده. وابتدأت العَمالة غير العربية الآتية من آسيا بالزيادة في السنوات الأخيرة في الأردن، وبالأخص من سريلانكا والفِليبّين.
Migrants from the Philippines and Sri Lanka have taken on a growing role in filling labor shortages in Jordan, leading to significant challenges surrounding the recruitment of these foreign workers. Based on interviews with government officials in sending and receiving countries and focus groups with migrants, the report analyzes the role of private recruitment agencies and points to oversight gaps.
Civil society provides a crucial link between governments and the communities they represent—infusing policy processes with grassroots knowledge to which governments may not otherwise have access. Looking at the European Union's efforts to engage with civil society in its "neighborhood," this report examines the benefits, challenges, and mechanisms to building dialogue and cooperation on migration and development.
The EU-U.S. relationship is one of the most significant partnerships among wealthy nations. Interconnections between the two on migration issues make dialogue necessary and inevitable, as each relies on each other to attain a number of policy objectives, most clearly in the case of travel and border security.
The exponential growth of international travel since the 1960s has left border management systems worldwide struggling to keep up and has exposed weaknesses in states' abilities to effectively manage their borders, especially regarding terrorist attacks, human trafficking, and illegal migration.
Migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries rarely collaborate on migration issues because the structure of global migration systems ensures they often disagree about core policy issues. This report shows that migration collaboration makes sense when states share common goals they cannot achieve on their own.

One of the only things that I have trouble with regarding universalism is the problem of evil Ok, what about the demons who "believe and tremble?"(James 2:19) will they be reconciled back to God? And will Satan be one of those who will confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord"?A huge problem I have is that if Satan was created purely for the purpose of tormenting and deceiving humans then isn't the God who created Satan really the source of all evil? If Satan has no will and is basically a puppet of evil deeds, then how does that fit with a universal reconciliation of God's creation? As it relates to the human race, I like universalism and it reconciles many questions I have...but I can't seem to reconcile the problem of evil.
ID YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL SURPRISE AWAITING YOU!! Father does this so often, anything that comes up out of heart for Him.[spontaneous].he does for us. ex; David wanted to build the temple for the Lord..the Lord built David a house. He is very tender in affection,our Father. Bless you,ID Sheila
The purpose of Evil... Indeed? CLV Ecc 1:13 I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: it is an experience of evil Elohim (God) has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.KJV Ecc 9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. Ecc 3:11 God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained, from the beginning to the end of their lives.Evil seems to have a purpose in God's plan....perhaps we are just ignorant of this? Paul
When someone dies and is resurrected in heaven,He is taught how and in what way He will serve the Father, He has been delivered from the sin in his flesh,but must suffer the sin in other's flesh that he serves on earth. Therefore he is perfected by suffering evil in obediance.

The picture I chose to use was one I took while on vacation and it looks so great on the front of the card that everyone who has viewed it so far thinks it "came with the card" as a default photo. The crease in the card stock is perfectly positioned so that all edges and corners of the card line up. One would think that all card makers/printers ensure that is the case but I have ordered from other companies who delivered misaligned folded cards.

Police are looking for a man who, over the weekend, was placed under arrest but managed to flee the scene.
Aiken Public Safety officers are asking for the community's help in finding Marrio Sherard Parker, 33, of Aiken who is wanted for escape, weapon and drug charges.
Parker was stopped for speeding on Whiskey Road when the responding officer noticed the smell of marijuana emitting from his vehicle, according to a police report.
The officer asked Parker if he had smoked any marijuana that evening and if he had any on his person. Parker said yes and handed the officer a cigar filled with a green, leafy material, the report read.
Parker was placed under arrest, and, during a search of the vehicle, a pistol was located under the driver's seat, according to the report.
Parker, who was handcuffed, was escorted to the officer's patrol vehicle but resisted and fled on foot.
A search was conducted in the area but Parker could not be located.
Officers say Parker should be considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to contact Crimestoppers of the Midlands at 888-CRIME-SC (888-274-6374). Callers will remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1000.

A mortgage calculator can be used for purposes other than estimating a new mortgage payment.
Mortgage experts predict what will happen to rates over the next week -- and why.
Use this calculator to determine how much mortgage you can afford to take out based on your income and expenses.
Using an online mortgage calculator can help you quickly and accurately predict your monthly mortgage payment with just a few pieces of information. It can also show you the total amount of interest you'll pay over the life of your mortgage. To use this calculator, you'll need the following information:
Mortgage Amount
If you're getting a mortgage to buy a new home, you can find this number by subtracting your down payment from the home's price. If you're refinancing, this number will be the outstanding balance on your mortgage.
Mortgage Term (Years)
This is the length of the mortgage you're considering. For example, if you're buying new, you may choose a mortgage loan that lasts 30 years. On the other hand, a homeowner who is refinancing may opt of a loan that lasts 15 years.
Interest Rate
Estimate the interest rate on a new mortgage by checking Bankrate's mortgage rate tables for your area. Once you have a projected rate (your real-life rate may be different depending on your overall credit picture) you can plug it into the calculator.
Mortgage Start Date
Select the month, day and year when your mortgage payments will start.
(Optional) Extra Payments
First, click on "Show Amortization Schedule" to use the "Add Extra Payments" functionality of Bankrate's mortgage calculator to find out how you can shorten your term and net big savings by paying extra money toward your loan's principal each month, every year or even just one time. To calculate the savings, enter a hypothetical amount into one of the payment categories (monthly, yearly or one-time) and then see how much interest you'll end up paying and your new payoff date.

Comments about GeoSafari® Jr. Talking Bug Net™:
I thought it was the greatest thing but it lasted only 10 minutes, then just began to buzz. I tried new batteries but same thing. I would love this game for my grandchildren but it was not satisfactory.I am looking online for more products from this company but am worried the same thing will happen.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Stay At Home Parent
The GeoSafari Jr. Talking Bug Net is perfect for any curious child who is interested in bugs. There are two ways to play, first you can drop bugs in to hear one of the 100 bug facts about them or you can get quizzed. My 3 year old loves to drop the bugs in and hear the facts, many of which he is actually retaining and repeating later on. It is so nice to see him interested and fascinated with something other than cars, even if its bugs. The facts are all different and simple enough for kids to understand. Also the net is super easy to use as once you install the 3 AAA batteries (not included) you just turn it on and drop the bugs in. There are the two different functions on the side as well as two volume levels. I think the only thing that would make this better is maybe more bug facts, although we have yet to hear them all and maybe a way for the net to hold all the bugs for storage purposes. Overall though the bug net has kept my 3 and 5 year old busy and they love hearing all the random bug facts. They also think its like magic how the net knows which bug is in the net.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thanks, Cher! Sounds like your kids went buggy for the Bug Net!

All three of Manuwa's UFC fights have come in his home country of England. But now that he continues to impress his bosses, he may be doing some traveling for his next fight.
"During the fight, I was texting with Joe Silva," White said at the post-event news conference. "I said, "It's time to take this kid to the next level get him over fighting in the United States and get him in a big fight with somebody.' I don't know who."
For his part, Jimmo said he doesn't care who he fights.
"I don't turn down fights. I don't back down or anything," he said.
Much of the first round was spent contested on the fence, with Jimmo clinching him up and trying to keep his power at bay.
But when Manuwa was loose, he was throwing bombs, as he has become known for.
"The fight went how I thought it'd go," Manuwa said. "I knew he was a tough opponent. He's strong, but I had his number. It was just a matter of time before I caught him. My training went really well, and I felt great in the fight ready for anything."
White said Manuwa was not quite ready to be talked about in title contention just yet in the light heavyweight division. But it might be safe to say that Manuwa's next fight will be against an opponent that could get him there quickly.
"After you break into the top five (you start to get into title contention)," White said. "But in this sport, anything could happen. We've been doing guys in the top eight or top nine who get big fights. So anything could happen."

The seven buildings that were destroyed by fire on Sept. 25 are slowly reappearing on Front Street ¬ one stroke of a paint brush at a time.
Asher Robinson, a local artist, is painting a mural of the lost buildings on the side of the new home of Harborwalk Books, one of the businesses destroyed in the blaze.
Michelle Overton, who bought the book store business from Anne Carlson days after the fire, originally wanted to have Harborwalk Books painted on the side of the building, which sits at the corner of Front and Screven streets. Thats just across from the Town Clock.
We wanted to do something to beautify the place, Overton said.
Overton said a friend suggested a mural of the lost buildings. Robinson had the same idea.
Robinson began by drawing the buildings on the wall in permanent marker. That took about a week.
For the last two weeks hes been painting the buildings, using colors as close to the originals as possible.
The next step will be to add the details, such as signs, awnings, and window displays.
Robinson estimates hes spent about 100 hours working on the mural.
As the mural has taken shape, its become a gathering place for people.
Its the talk of the city, Overton said. [Asher] has become a celebrity overnight.
Several people have come into the store after seeing the mural to purchase some of Robinsons artwork.
Overton and her husband reopened Harborwalk about three weeks ago. She said people still come in looking for Carlson and her dog, B.D., which spent its days greeting customers at the old location.
Annie has been a tremendous help, Overton said. I wanted her to know people really appreciate what shes done.
Carlson stops by the new location occasionally, but B.D. probably wont visit since the Overtons are trying to turn their two dogs, Sam and Millie, into shop dogs.

The Kentucky squad for the First Annual Consol Energy All-Star game has some of the top talents from eastern Kentucky.
Frankie Smith will coach the Bluegrass State squad.
The Kentucky squad has several of the top 3-point shooters in this part of the state and no doubt will be firing shots in a run-and-gun style noted for all-star games.
The two starting guards for the Belfry Pirates, Josh Robinson and Brett Charles are on the roster. Robinson averaged 13 ppg. and dished out five assists, while Charles averaged 15 ppg. and handed out four assists per game this past season.
Dalton Cornette, a 6-7 forward-center from Perry County Central, is the tallest player on the Ky. team. He averaged16 ppg. and pulled down nine rebounds per game.
Chase Kirk, who helped lead Sheldon Clark to a great season, is also on the Ky. roster. He averaged 12 ppg. and pulled down six rebounds per contest.
Ethan Rowe, who averaged 22 ppg. for the Pikeville Panthers, is also on the squad.
Four players form Boyd County will be playing on the team. They included Austin Hunt, Brandon Taylor, Todd Stacy and Stefano Vaghi.
Colton Hall of Lewis County is also on the team.
(Editor's Note: Articles on the two women's rosters will appear in later editions of the Daily News.)

Ethan Beard and Noah Eckstein, students at Harwood Union Middle School, were recently honored as middle level scholar leaders at the 15th annual Vermont Scholar Leader Awards Banquet on June 6 at Norwich University. Students from middle level schools across the state were honored. The event is organized by the Vermont Association for Middle Level Education (VAMLE) and the New England League of Middle Schools (NELMS) with supporting sponsorship from Lifetouch National School Studios.
Jacki McCarty, Harwood Middle School English teacher, states: "Ethan Beard is a quiet leader who motivates students around him by setting a great example for them to follow. He is able to work with anyone he is grouped with and regularly supports his fellow students both academically and by being socially inclusive. Ethan consistently submits quality academic work and is involved in many activities inside and out of school in which he generally excels."
Ruth Hoogenboom, Harwood Middle School history teacher, states: "Noah is an extremely involved and conscientious student who always produces quality work. He approaches all aspects of his education with a sense of excitement and has an ability to make wonderful connections with whatever is being studied."
Approximately 400 students, educators and parents attended, along with members of the VAMLE and NELMS boards. The keynotes were given by students Mariette Aborn, Burr and Burton Academy, and Nicholas Shallow, Mount Mansfield Union High School. The banquet celebrated the achievements of the middle level students who are representative of young adolescents in all middle level schools in Vermont. Eighty middle school students from 41 schools were honored this year.
Students are selected by their school based on the standards outlined in the "Vital Results" and "Fields of Knowledge" sections of the Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities. The goal of the scholar leader program is to honor students who exhibit both academic and leadership qualities.

Only Natural Pet Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil provides levels of both omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) not commonly found in pet foods. This pure oil is made only from wild, non-farmed Alaskan salmon and stabilized with natural antioxidants to maintain its fatty acid content and taste.
The important EPA and DHA Omega-3 essential fatty acids are plentiful in salmon oil. And unlike plant-based Omega-3 products (such as flax seed), fish oil is readily processed by the digestive system, resulting in more available essential fatty acids per serving. A daily dose of salmon oil is a must for any dog or cat with skin or coat issues, including those caused by allergies - but it will make a noticeable improvement in the coat of any animal, young or old.
Benefits of the naturally occurring EFAs in Salmon Oil include

By Anne
from Florida
I put some on their food every morning. They love the taste! Their fur and skin looks amazing! I have been ordering Only Natural Pet Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil by Only Natural Pet for approximately 1 year now. I've recommended it to others!

Stops Itchy Skin Fast!
By Liz
from Lakeway, Texas
I put Salmon Oil on my GOLDEN RETRIEVER's food every morning. It only took two weeks of daily dosing and his itchy skin has completely diminished. Golden's are know for having itchy skin. Benedryl helped but the SALMON OIL has been the most beneficial treatment.
Love this stuff!
By DLK54
from Chicago, ILL.
I gave this product 4 paws only because I have to get a 1/4 tsp. measuring spoon out every morning to get the correct amount to put in my cat's wet food. Wish there was a way to know when you squeeze the bottle whether it was the correct amount. I only use the recommended dose since it really works well on her coat doesn't give her an upset tummy, and my cat seems to never have a hairball issue now. Other than the measuring process I love this stuff and my cat seems to love it, too!
I love this product
By Catlady
from Albany, Or.
I squirt some on their dry food, mix it up and they love it.

By Sheltie Mum

I am adding this to their food every night and I believe I can already see a difference in their hair and also less itching.
must add flavor
By dog lover
from Hinsdale, IL
Our one dog is now 8 and showing some early signs of arthritis. The vet recommended fish oil and since we are users of this company we chose this product. We were not disappointed.

Love the bottle!
By julz
from HB, CA
Loved the bottle spout/cap. It squirts the liquid nicely with no mess- no oil anywhere escept where it should be. Other caps run the oil down the rest of the bottle when shut. This makes a HUGE difference!

Longtime Aiken County Probate Judge Sue Roe has admitted she broke an ethics law and has received a warning and a $100 fine from the State Ethics Commission.
Roe, who described the violation as an "embarrassment," admitted breaking the Ethics Reform Act when she "unintentionally" used the address and telephone number of the Aiken County Probate Judge's office on a campaign flyer posted on her re-election website. The act states that no elected official can use government personnel, equipment, materials or office building in an election campaign.
"The State Ethics Commission hereby finds Sue Roe in violation, albeit unintentional," wrote Phillip Florence, chair of the commission.
The violation was not on her website for long. According to the consent order, when Roe was advised of it, "She advised that she would take immediate action to correct the error, which she did."
"Being unaware that a violation existed does not change the fact that there was an ethics violation for which I am accountable," Roe notes in the consent order. "I regret that this occurred as it is an embarrassment to me."
The complaint was brought against Democrat Roe by Dennis Saylor, Chairman of the Aiken County Republican Party. It was filed August 29, 2012.
Jane Page Thompson, Roe's opponent in the race for the probate judge office, said Thursday that the complaint was meant to have come from the Aiken County Republican Party or South Carolina Republican Party and Saylor's name being attached to it was a mistake. The case began, Thompson said, after she emailed screenshots of the offending website flyer to the county and state Republican Party chairs. She added, had reporters listened to her "in September and October" about the ethics complaint, voters could have made a more informed choice.
Complaints filed relatively close to a general election are not considered by the Ethics Commission until after campaigns have ended.
On Nov. 28, the State Ethics Commission reviewed the complaint and moved forward, setting a hearing. But before a hearing took place, Roe agreed to admit the facts of the charge as true and accept her guilt.
Roe did not respond to repeated request for comment Wednesday and Thursday.
Saylor did not immediately respond to calls for comment Thursday afternoon.

WASHINGTON, D.C. If Mitt Romney becomes president, he might need a crash course in Diplomacy 101.
He irritated Britons and Palestinians during a summer tour abroad and has declared Russia to be Americas No. 1 geopolitical foe. Just last week, the Republican candidate, who plans a foreign policy speech Monday, raised eyebrows in Spain by holding it up as a prime example of government spending run amok.
That left Spaniards confused, and threatened to reinforce Romneys perceived handicap in international affairs, precisely at a time when lingering questions over the Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, has President Barack Obama on the defensive.
I dont want to go down the path of Spain, Romney said Wednesday night during the first presidential debate. He argued that government spending under Obama has reached 42 percent of the U.S. economy, a figure comparable with Americas NATO ally. I want to go down the path of growth that puts Americans to work.
The remark was Romneys latest to cause international offense during a campaign that much of the world is closely monitoring.
The sensitivity reflects a wide understanding that Romney could prevail over President Barack Obama and take over as leader of the worlds top military, economic and diplomatic power. If Romney becomes commander in chief, he could face a testy beginning with Europes economic laggards such as Greece, Italy and Spain, whom he has beaten up regularly throughout the campaign.
No one contests that Spains situation is dire, its economy in deep recession and unemployment hovering around 25 percent. But Spains level of government spending is actually low by European standards, and significantly less than Germany and Scandinavian countries with far healthier economic prospects. Spains woes were chiefly caused by the collapse of a property bubble that had fueled more than a decade of booming economic growth.
Spanish reaction to Romney was swift.
What I see is ignorance of what is reality, but especially of the potential of the Spanish economy, said Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria.
Maria Dolores Cospedal, leader of Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoys Popular Party, noted that Spain is not on fire from all sides like some on the outside have suggested. Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo called it very unfortunate that other countries should be put up as examples when the facts are skewed.
Romney will have a chance to fully articulate his vision of Americas role in world affairs when gives his address Monday at the Virginia Military Institute. But the furor in Spain, however minor, instead serves as a reminder of Romneys record of diplomatic stumbles, such as calling Russia not Iran or China, for example Americas primary global adversary in March.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has since pointed to Romneys comment as justification for Russias opposition to Americas missile defense plans in Europe, saying the statement has strengthened Russias positions in talks on this important and sensitive subject.
Then on a July trip to Europe and Israel meant to burnish Romneys foreign policy credentials, the candidate criticized Britain over its preparations for the London Olympic Games. The comment baffled Americas closest ally, drawing withering retorts from the British press, the Conservative prime minister and Londons right-wing mayor. He also cited a private meeting with Britains spy service MI6, in a significant breach of protocol.
In Israel, he followed up by declaring Jerusalem the capital of the Jewish state, which U.S. administrations have refused to accept for decades given Palestinian claims to the ancient city.
At a gathering of mostly American Jewish donors, Romney implied that Israel was more advanced than the Palestinians because of cultural superiority. The comment drew a charge of racism from the Palestinians chief peace negotiator, with whom the U.S. has been working to reach a two-state peace deal with Israel and counter the threat posed by Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that rejects Israels existence.
The comments in some ways reflect the demands of a presidential campaign and the thousands of speeches, fundraisers and public appearances each candidate must make.
Obama, too, has made mistakes. He was forced to apologize to Polands president in June after using the expression Polish death camp in reference to an extermination center operated by Nazi Germany on Polish soil during World War II.
Romneys Spain quip might play well with Americans closely split on the election, whove heard from both candidates about the perils of economic contagion from Europes debt crisis. It also was meant as a reminder of the $16 trillion U.S. debt that Obama presides over.
But even if it barely registered in a debate that most observers credited Romney with winning, the comparison may do damage. By singling out Spain, Romney ruffled feathers in a country he will probably need to call on for assistance if he becomes president. Spain has almost 1,500 troops in Afghanistan. It contributed fighter jets, refueling planes and naval vessels to the U.S.-led NATO mission that ousted Libyas Moammar Gadhafi from power.
When you have a party or politician that has not been in power nationally for a while, there is a learning curve, said Frances G. Burwell, director of transatlantic relations at the Atlantic Council. Europe has changed rapidly in terms of its governance rapidly. Its a very diverse place. But Im sure a Romney administration would quickly get up to speed on this.
Burwell didnt see Romneys slighting of Spain or other European countries significantly straining ties or complicating tough questions on the horizon for any U.S. president, such as troop deployments in Afghanistan. But she said his critique of Spains government spending level was somewhat strange considering the Madrid government is assertively cutting expenditures to avoid a European bailout and the high levels of American debt.
Added Heather Conley, European director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies: Europeans ask the U.S., `What about you? This isnt helpful to either side of the transatlantic relationship.
Associated Press writer Jorge Sainz in Madrid contributed to this report.

Verizon killing off unlimited plans with new LTE device purchases
Verizon's CFO Fran Shammo mentioned at the J.P. Morgan Technology, Media, and Telecom conference recently that anyone migrating from 3G to 4G devices won't be able to grandfather in their old unlimited plan and will have to instead take a data share plan scheduled to launch this summer. That way, not only are you burning through data faster, but you're also splitting it among friends or co-workers. Everybody wants that, right?
Those of you that scrambled to get unlimited data plans on Verizon before they dropped the axe on it will have to carefully consider your next upgrade.
To be fair, this will make it easier to split data between devices, which is a common eventuality for those of us using both an iPad and an iPhone. Still, this sentiment is in direct opposition to Sprint, who has pledged that they'll keep unlimited around even if an LTE iPhone is eventually released. The question is, how long are you going to be willing to hold onto your iPhone 4S with an unlimited plan before being tugged into a limited (but faster) world of LTE? Will Verizon still rip you from the warm embrace of unlimited data even if you stick with a 3G device?
Source: FierceWireless
UPDATE: Verizon recently clarified that no, they won't be forcing people to switch to the shared plan, though new subscribers still won't be able to pick an unlimited plan.

Verizon killing off unlimited plans with new LTE device purchases
This will merely remove yet another barrier that held me back from switching to AT&T. The data usage issue is a non issue for me and since Verizon still have not published pricing it may make Verizon a no longer viable option with a single device and may still make it overpriced with only two devices, especially those like me that rarely get even close to 750 Mb of data usage and most months just slip over the 300 Mb!
No one saw this coming with the "new" iPhone? come on. We all knew it would..
Shop around for what? An overpriced tiered plan on AT&T or unlimited data on Sprint's sub-par network?
Time to start a petition
If someone offers unlimited LTE with sharing for $60 or less a month I would drop my home Internet and just use mobile.
I just checked my 5 lines usage. I have 4 days left in my billing cycle.
Now considering I pay $150/month ($30/line) for data this is what I use:
Line 1: 1.93 GB
Line 2: 0.37 GB
Line 3: 0.08 GB
Line 4: 0.07 GB
Line 5: 1.76 GB
So go ahead Verizon offer shared data. Hell, I can take a 10GB/$100 month plan and come out saving me $50 a month and have plenty of data.
Sure they will make money off some people but I am willing to bet the majority of people are similar to me and actually Verizon stands to LOSE money on switching those people.
Same boat here can't wait to see the tier options.
Nope -- unless Verizon has changed their process. You cannot activate any smartphone on their network without a data plan. If you buy a device full-price, you are simply not committing to a new contract - but once you try to register that device on the network you have a new, shiny data-package.
Exactly right. But we should be able to choose a no data plan. I have unlimited but use less than half a gig because I'm surrounded by wifi. So the $30 I pay is more like insurance like if I'm traveling and i need it. Even having to pay $10 a gig per month would be a better option. So if I use 1 gig that'll be $10 or 3 gigs will be $30 and so on. Something like what the electric companies do like charge for what we use would be even better.
Does a Verizon 4S indicate 4G on the top of the screen like AT&T? If so, wouldn't they already be considered 4G? And if they are giving people unlimited on '4G' already that wouldn't be considered an 'upgrade' so it should just continue with unlimited. The carriers wanted that 4G on the top of the screen. Perhaps thats something they didn't consider regarding an 'upgrade' to 4G.
Verizon iPhone 4S does not have that '4G' on the phone, it just reads '3G'. Verizon 4G devices register as 'LTE' anyway - - or at least my iPad 3 and Droid RAZR do. That whole '4G' thing on AT&T is for marketing purposes. That little icon gives them the ability to advertise that iPhone on their 3.5G network as "iPhone with 4G speeds".
Yea, this sucks. I'll admit that I've never even thought about switching from Verizon. Sprint lost me years ago when they had sub-par customer service regarding overcharging on a bill. Anyway, I'd hate to switch from Verizon, but maybe this'll blow over by the time I upgrade to the "new iphone" after my two years on this contract are up. I'll suffer through some iphone envy, but man I really enjoy my 4s so I'll be fine. (Incidentally, I would've considered upgrading early, but after this crummy announcement I doubt I'll even consider it).
My dad bought a pres plus for the free tethering years ago after I showed it off to him. I came back to iOS when I heard HP was killing WebOS but he stayed for the tethering. Less than a month ago he got a 4G Razr for free by ditching the Palm Pre. He still has unlimited data on 4G for at least two years I guess. Best option, upgrade to a free 4G phone, and when the next iPhone come out switch over devices?
Glad I gots me an LG Spectrum that I swapped with my iPhone and nows I gots 4G Unlimited, etc. etc. Don't need to get a new phone for a long time, and if I do, I can use my 4G sim card in another device I purchase off of craigslist. No contracts, sim is already activated and I can use unlimited in my iPad 4G as well.Go ahead Verizon, its not worth giving up unlimited for the price of a subsidized phone. And I can switch phones whenever I want to
