New Jersey and TNR
Helping ferals in NJ is the New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance via their Project TNR. According to the group's website, their project is "endorsed by the NJ Department of Health & Human Services' Office of Animal Welfare, the National Animal Control Association & the Humane Society of the United States." The group's mission is to make New Jersey a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) friendly state, by working with caregivers and municipalities.
Point Pleasant Beach has also adopted a TNR approach to their feral cat situation. In a recent news article, Karen Mills, borough board of health secretary, said this, "We wouldn't really know the number of cats being picked up until after they were euthanized. One time we received a bill for 37 cats euthanized and it hit us. It was just very upsetting." So last year, Councilwoman Kristine Tooker began to form an animal welfare committee to examine ways of controlling the population in a humane way. "I just thought something needs to change because what everyone is doing (trap and kill) isn't working," Tooker said. Tooker researched TNR and presented it to the committee, and within a few months an ordinance was passed to implement TNR. Point Pleasant Beach is now feral cat friendly.
Just to name a few more feral friendly groups and cities in NJ: Burlington County Feral Cat Initiative, the City of Cape May, Atlantic City Boardwalk, Neighborhood Feral Cat Initiative in Hudson County, Animal Welfare Federation of NJ. For more organizations that support feral cats and TNR programs in NJ, check out our CAT Directory: http://www.saveacat.org/catlinks.html#NJ.
Unfortunately, Mt. Olive's officials do not feel the same about TNR as many of their fellow NJ officials. A group of Mt. Olive residents has been trying to persuade officials to adopt a TNR program as a way of managing the town's feral and stray cat population for the past several months. However, thus far they have been unsuccessful and the town is currently practicing trap and kill.
In a recent news article, a group of township residents will be bringing its plea to prevent the euthanization of feral cats to voters on the November election ballot if the council continues to reject their proposal. Last year, Mount Olive impounded 181 cats, 141 of which were euthanized at a cost of $18,000 to the township. "TNR is doing a public service with private donations to save the town money," said Michelle Lerner, founder of the project. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Mt. Olive decides to take the humane approach to managing feral and stray cats or if they decide to continue to trap and kill.

Hi guys, anyone here?
We the cats of the blogsphere have recently been made aware of an intiative of the NJ Fish & Game to hunt cats in support of the Bobwhite quail.
I was wondering if you could give us some input and perhaps some direction for our outrage.
You can contact me at deeroche at runbox dot com.

I live in Marlboro - a very cat-UNfriendly town. I take care of some strays in my backyard which the town has taken notice of. The animal control officer has informed me that he is immediately setting traps to catch the cats, including kittens, and bring them to a KILL shelter in Helmetta NJ. Most of the cats are very sweet and this is heart-breaking. Can anyone help ASAP please? I can be contacted at: email@example.com.
Thank you!

Passing the ordinance is key, it makes the process legal and your group becomes eligible to apply for grant monies to facilitate the TNR process.

I'm concerned that there may be cats on this large site who may be in danger as this project progresses. http://www.nj.com/monmouth/index.ssf/2014/05/officials_demolition_of_historic_marlboro_psychiatric_hospital_begins.html#incart_river_default

Tony Stewart will yet again sit out of a race after hitting and killing Kevin Ward Jr. Saturday night. He was pulled from the race at Plymouth Speedway, which is upcoming.
Ward exited his vehicle trying to confront Stewart when he was hit. Stewart didn't race in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Race.
"We at Plymouth Speedway extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the family of Kevin Ward, Jr. and thoughts and prayers to Tony Stewart and his family, the track said in a statement, via Yahoo Sports. "Tony Stewart will NOT be racing at Plymouth Speedway this Saturday. More information on the weekend's racing will be announced this week," the track said in a statement.
"There aren't words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr., Stewart said. "It's a very emotional time for all involved, and it is the reason I've decided not to participate in today's race at Watkins Glen. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and everyone affected by this tragedy."
A lot of people think Stewart intentionally hit Ward Jr. after revving his engine.

Maire Claire Has Five Cover Stars for Its May 2014 Issue
Posted on April 24, 2014
Marie Claire has five cover stars for its May 2014 issue. Marie Claire's Fresh Faces issue features Lupita Nyong'o, Elle Fanning, Emilia Clarke, Kate Mara and Elizabeth Olsen.
In the interview, Lupita credits her stylist for helping her discover her style. She says, "I wasn't a follower of fashion. It was a world unknown. Then I met my stylist, Micaela Erlanger [introduced to her by friend and Non-Stop costar Michelle Dockery], and we came to interpret my style: clean lines, strong color. I don't dress to impress; I don't feel that pressure."
Elizabeth Olsen talked about having people primarily know her for her work and not her lifestyle. She says, "I definitely know what kind of lifestyle I want to have. Some people recognize you for your work, not for being pictured going to clubs. So, I try and keep that kind of profile that people know you from your work and that's it. There are some jobs that I've said no to, because I know what kind of attention they will bring. I choose not to have that specific kind of attention."
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clark says she always has the people from her hometown of Buckinghamshire, in southern England, to keep her grounded. She says, "I get to go home and walk the dog and no one really cares in the most glorious way. They're more intrigued about whether people are picking up the dog muck from the path."
Kate Mara talks about her new film Transcendence and her favorite films, relationship dramas. She says, "For a movie this large, it didn't feel huge. "xcept for the occasional explosion. A lot of my scenes are just me and Paul -intimate. My favorite kind of project. I would love to be in a love story. My favorite movies to watch are relationship dramas."
Elle Fanning talked about her favorite place to do homework. Elle says, "I love to do my homework in the doll room. It's where we keep our collection of Madame Alexander dolls! We get one every Christmas and every birthday."

excellent characteristics of the departed, who was of a kind, loving disposition,
and was universally respected and admired by all who knew her. We were disappointed
in obtaining material for a biographical sketch of deceased this week, but will

Citizens United
It's getting harder to know who is funding political advertising at the state level as more money becomes anonymous or is filtered from one political action committee to another, a new study finds. Continue reading
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court's lineup of new cases is fit for an election year.

When it comes to money in politics, U.S. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., often complains that there is just too much of it.
But when Franken called the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision that opened the door for corporations, unions and individuals to spend unlimited amounts on candidates a "disaster" earlier this month, his impassioned Senate floor speech disguised a central fact of his campaign, and that of his Republican opponent, businessman Mike McFadden.

Never in her life all powerful leader in the world Sonia Gandhi experienced such kind of anger. In the momentous rage and anger she gave green signal for MLA Shankar Rao to file a petition in High Court against its own former Chief Minister YS.Raja Sekhar Reddy and YS.Jagan for alleged corruption and quid pro quo acts during his regime. When Shankar Rao came to her with his masterplan to reign in Jagan who was going great guns with his 'Odarpu Yatra', Sonia would have been mighty p;leased.
Now however with the turn of events and subsequent losses at YS.Jagan's party in various bypolls and Mamatha deserting Congress, she is in desperate need to save its Govt and also bring back to power at Center in 2014 elections to make her son Rahul Gandhi the PM.For this she needs the support of Jagan and when she with her govt making all efforts to bring him out on bail, Supreme Court has taken serious view of Shankar Rao's petition and even sent notices to 6 cabinet ministers in the state. Even when it sacrificed one of its minister, another minister is on verge of going to jail.So all her best laid plans are going avry and in the mean time SC rejected Jagan's bail. Now Sonia is extremely furious on Shankar Rao for all this mess.

BONN (Jul. 5)
Former Waffen SS officer Franz Schoenhuber has accused the extreme right-wing Republican Party that he used to head of becoming a haven for neo-Nazis.
Schoenhuber, 68, made the accusation after he was expelled from the party for allegedly trying to injure its reputation.
He charged Monday that his successors have surrendered to racists and other extremists who infiltrated the party, and said they allowed it to be used by neo-Nazi activists trying to influence large numbers of politically uncommitted citizens.
Under Schoenhuber's leadership, the Munich-based Republicans scored some unexpected electoral successes in recent years, including national balloting for the European Parliament.
The party drew votes away from Chancellor Helmut Kohl's conservative Christian Democratic Union.
But its extreme nationalistic platform became largely irrelevant as East and West Germany moved swiftly toward unification.
The Republicans suffered a succession of humiliating defeats in recent local and regional elections and are now marginal to German politics.

Cooper 'stoked' with his mountainbike gold
Anton Cooper and Sam Gaze didn't just win New Zealand's first gold-silver double of the Commonwealth Games, they upset the hottest of favourites to do it.
The talented teens did a number on Australian Dan McConnell, the world's third ranked mountain biker and the man most assumed was a lock to win the gold at Glasgow's Cathkin Braes Mountainbike Trails.
Cooper, the 19-year-old from Woodend just north of Christchurch and 18-year-old Gaze from Te Awamutu, rode the majority of the 37km cross country race with McConnell and Canadian Max Plaxton.
The trio dropped Plaxton on the seventh and final lap, but even then most watching assumed McConnell would have the experience and nous to win.
But the quick pace Cooper and Gaze had forced throughout took its toll on the 28-year-old, five-time Oceania Champion and when Cooper blasted away 500m from the line, McConnell had nothing left.
Cooper's sprint was breath-taking, putting 20m on Gaze and McConnell in an instant.
Gaze and McConnell tried to go too, but it was too late and when Gaze got up to speed, McConnell resigned himself to the bronze and cruised home.
"I caught them off-guard and I just felt really fresh right to the last lap," Cooper said.
"I felt like I had another few left in me still, but that's just the type of course it was, I think."
Cooper charged up the final hill and crossed the line both fists in the air and a roar.
"I don't really know what to think, I'm just bloody stoked.
"It's a dream come true, The last couple of months of training have been super tough but to see it pay off like this is huge for me."
Gaze was disappointed not to win, but showed maturity beyond his years in finding the positive in the New Zealand one-two.
"I really wanted to win, but you can't always win them. The next best thing is my countryman winning," he said.
"I'm so happy for him as well. He's had such a tough season. To come back and do this was a victory for me as well because it's a country thing."
Gaze's parents are back home in New Zealand and he hoped his silver medal was an adequate birthday present for father Chris.
Cooper had been crook with food poisoning and then another gastro bug, but credited the time at home, training in Christchurch's Port Hills and mother Laila's home-cooked meals for his return to form.
"It's been a tough few months," he said.
"I got a bit sick and I had to head home. I've just been based at home in Christchurch over the winter. I stayed at home with the parents and they looked after me well. Mum cooked some good food and I was able to train well and deliver a result."
It was a result Cooper said he needed and he hoped it would be the kick-start his international season needs.
"Hopefully this is a sign of bigger and better things to come."
Being able to beat his good mate McConnell was also a big deal for Cooper, though it arguably meant more to Gaze.
"[McConnell's] top three in the world for elite men and it's amazing to beat him," Gaze said.
"I'm 18 he's 19 and we beat one of the best guys in the world. It shows what teamwork and pride does."
Earlier Karen Hanlen and Kate Fluker finished sixth and eighth respectively in the women's race won by Canada's Catharine Pendrel ahead of countrywoman Emily Batty and Australian Rebecca Henderson.
Hanlen, who had surgery on a dodgy femoral artery just nine weeks ago, started well and led midway through the first lap.
She was caught before the two Kiwis spent plenty of the race together.
Hanlen took a minor spill early and when Fluker did the same late in the race, Hanlen pulled away.

The United National Party Parliamentary Group has decided to withdraw the members motion which it was due to present before the house today concerning Leader of the Democratic National Alliance Sarath Fonseka.
This decision had been arrived during the parliamentary group meeting which took place under the leadership of opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe this morning.
The motion which was included in today's parliament agenda, called upon the government to re-instate Sarath Fonseka with his usurped political rights & was due to be read out by Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Subsequently the opposition leader had notified the UNP Parliamentary group through party MP Lakshman Kiriela, to abstain from presenting the motion before parliament.
Accordingly Chief Opposition Whip John Amaratunga stated that the UNP had refrained from presenting motion.

Mutilated LRA victims await more plastic surgery – or not
In the seven and half years since the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army signed the cessation of hostilities, people in northern Uganda have been living peacefully. But thousands of victims of the LRA conflict still grapple with its after-effects: mutilation being one of the most glaringly obvious.
Since her lips were chopped off, Sarah Clementina has had a constant headache and been unable to carry anything heavy on her head. She was mutilated 20 years ago when the Lord's Resistance Army attacked her family homestead. She also lost several relatives in the incident. But the 65-year-old grandmother has not lost all hope that she'll one day appear more normal.
"I have so far been operated on twice, but look at what my mouth looks like," she says. "Every time people pass by me, especially children, they stop to stare and some of them make nasty comments about my mouth or call me names."
In 2000, plastic surgeons at Lacor Hospital in Gulu did surgery to help repair her lips – or rather, what was left of them. But the prosthetic lips she received did not keep her teeth from being exposed.
Clementina says doctors have told her she will have to go through several more procedures to repair her lips to the extent that they can cover her teeth. Her last operation was about six years ago. Since then, several people from NGOs and others claiming to be medical professionals have visited her, saying to want to help, but nothing has happened.
Trust Fund for Victims
In 2005, under the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV), organizations like the Association of Volunteers in International Service (AVSI), together with various hospitals in northern Uganda, started offering plastic surgery to LRA victims whose noses and lips were mutilated.
But Clementina was not among its beneficiaries. She was ineligible, as her ordeal took place long before the establishment of the TFV, created by the same Rome Statute that begat the International Criminal Court in 2002. Her surgery in 2000 was made possible by the late Piero and Lucill Corti, Italian doctors who owned the hospital where she got treatment.
Yet the TFV was founded to help people like her – survivors of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide who can rebuild their lives through the financing of projects and activities that address their needs.
Charles Luom is one such beneficiary.
Lack of plastic surgeons
One day in 2005, when Luom was in the garden with his brothers, LRA rebels attacked. His two brothers managed to escape, but the rebels captured him and forced him to carry the foodstuff they had looted from his homestead. After three hours, they stopped, had the abductees rest and then forced them to cook for them.
It was at that point that, as Luom recalls: "They told me I was too old, and so they cut off my upper lip and left me for dead."
In 2006, a year after his ordeal, Loam and his wife heard a call on the radio. AVSI was encouraging listeners to come to a missionary hospital in Gulu District for cost-free operations. Sure enough, Loam's wife took him there and some foreign doctors performed plastic surgery.
But just several months later, the prosthetic lip he received fell off. He returned to the hospital, and the local doctors who had helped the foreign doctors during the procedure said they would be in touch. He never heard back from them.
Two years later, Luom decided to visit other hospitals in the region since the threads used to fix his lip were causing unbearable pain. But none of the hospitals had plastic surgeons.
"Trying to learn to live with it"
According to Joyce Laker, AVSI's programme manager, AVSI no longer offers plastic surgery because it is so expensive. In the past, doctors had to be hired and flown into the country for every needed operation, because northern Uganda lacks specialist plastic surgeons and AVSI does not have its own personnel for this. In fact, by the time the AVSI project started working in northern Uganda, many of the LRA victims had already been successfully operated on by other NGOs.
From 2006 to 2012, Laker says AVSI provided plastic surgery to a total of 92 beneficiaries. Selected according to the TFV's definition of who constitutes a victim, these beneficiaries comprised 87 people with post-burn contractures and five with facial mutilations.
"For plastic surgery, these are mutilated persons or those who got burnt between July 2002, when the Rome Statute entered effect, and 2006," Laker says.
She explains that follow-up surgery depends on the outcome of a given procedure. For those with post-burn contractures, 90 percent of beneficiaries required no follow-up. For facial reconstruction involving the lips and the nose, one to three operations are usually needed and they can be done in subsequent years.
Meanwhile, AVSI continues to operate in the region and the TFV remains one of its main donors. The rehabilitation AVSI offers today includes identification and assessment of beneficiaries, psychological counselling, production and delivery of prosthetics and orthotics and follow-ups.
Many victims who would benefit from further plastic surgery have stopped pursuing follow-up, or just wait for calls for victims by private organizations, such as the Christian Watoto ministries.
"Since the doctors I consulted told me that there was nothing I could do," says Luom, "I have given up on having my lip repaired. Now I'm trying to learn to live with it."
Editor's note of 30 April 2014
This article was updated to correct the misstatement that the TFV stopped funding ASVI as well as to provide a more detailed description of the services ASVI continues to offer.

Tamarod, the grassroots activist group which ignited the 30 June protests against Mohamed Morsy, has called on Egyptians to observe Eid al-Fitr prayers at protest sites on Thursday.
The Islamic feast, which concludes the holy month of Ramadan, starts Thursday and ends Saturday.
Tamarod's call has coincided with an announcement by Morsy's Islamist supporters that they will launch a "Victory Feast" demanding the reinstatement of the ousted president.
"While the Muslim Brotherhood tries to lobby and stage marches supporting the deposed president, the Egyptian people reaffirm their will by gathering in their millions to back the military establishment and support the revolution, re-emphasize its goals, and push it on the right track," Tamarod said in a statement.
The group urged Egyptians to take up its call to reject foreign intervention in Egyptian affairs by a series of international mediators this week and to "prevent a specific political faction from dominating Eid prayer venues."
The group announced demonstrations at Tahrir Square and the Ettehadiya presidential palace, as well as public spaces in governorates across Egypt.

We, like many of you, had a lot of fun following the device across I-90 yesterday morning on its journey from Spokane to Tacoma, and were just as frustrated to find out that it was unable to communicate around 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
The device bases its location on satellite and cellular network coverage which we knew would be spotty across I-90 but we had our fingers crossed that the updates would be continuous enough to allow people to watch this historic occasion as the pieces travel to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge project that is nearing its completion.
Although quite fun to follow, this was really created as a management tool to help people make informed decisions to avoid the rig that unavoidably takes up two lanes.
Now we wait and see and hope the communication with the device will start up again while the truck is still traveling during the day. Once the truck reaches North Bend it will only travel at night, which won't be as fun to watch but will certainly make it much easier for those who need to get to where they need to without a big truck in the way.
In the meantime, we are going to the backup plan to manually update the site every 15 minutes to keep you up to date on where the truck is.
Update: Thursday, 12:30pm
The device started communicating again around 12:20 or so. Turns out some faulty wiring was causing the connection issues. We had just finished the manual update page and had it ready to go...funny how that works out sometimes.
Update: Friday, 12:15 pm
Device had trouble communicating again last night. Since it's in Federal Way today we had a local expert from Olympia drive up and examine the device and he discovered that bent copper clips on the power poles were the sole source of our troubles. A local Radio Shack provided a new connector for the fix and we are crossing our fingers that we won't have any problems with the device when the second truck comes into town.

The first graduating class of Hay Springs school 1895: left to right: Charles
W. Jones, principal, Rose Marcy Newton, Elmer Sage and Alice Rhodes
First Hay Springs
High School Class
Graduated In 1895
By 1885, the railroad linked Hay Spring's with its other sister towns, This was the year of years. Its churches were being organized, business men streamed in and started up shops, and the first attempt to organize the education of its children was made.
The first school of Hay Springs was located on Main street near where the post office now stands. The first teacher known, to the community was Kate Dulin (later Mrs. Hoefer) She taught for three months.
A record of the beginnings of the school relates: "A law at that time, made it necessary for a community to support a school by subscription for three months before a regular public school might be organized and supported by taxation. Accordingly, a committee composed of Mr. Waterman, Mr. McKinney and Mr. Bartlet, raised the money, rented the building ... and Miss Kate Dulin was chosen as the first teacher, and over thirty children gathered for instruction. (Miss Rose McShane is the only one of those Hay Springs pupils living, as far as is known.) The following year found the school removed from Main street and housed in an ice house which stood on the northwest corner of what is now Mr. Heaton's residence lot."
In 1887, the four-room brick building which now stands to the north of the present school building was built. It now consists of three class rooms, grade library room and a work room.
Within ten years after it was built, a grading system and two classes of high school were added to the grade school. In 1895, the first graduation exercises were held. The three graduates were Rose Marcy, Alice Rhodes and Elmer Sage. Chas. W. Jones was the head of the school at that time. Teachers were Miss Anna Bowman, Miss Josie Sage and Miss Dora Wood.

Miramar, Fla. (PRWEB) January 03, 2013
Granite Transformations, an international remodeling services company, announces the debut of its new earth-tone inspired color collection, Terra. Italian for Earth, Terra brings the brown tones of the soil, the gold shimmers of a tree trunk and the gentle tones of porcelain to the Granite Transformations line up of quality stone products. Porcelain, a new product component for Granite Transformations, is smooth to the touch but also one of the hardest materials, making the collection both durable and beautiful for kitchens and bathrooms.
Granite Transformations prides itself on providing stylish, quality and environmentally-friendly products, and the Terra collection not only captures these attributes, but also introduces a new material, porcelain, giving it a refined and welcoming feel, explains Carl Griffenkranz, vice president of marketing and franchise development for Granite Transformations. We were approached by a major manufacturer of porcelain products about the possibility of incorporating remnant porcelain into our existing product line. Considering we are on the forefront of utilizing natural materials to design stronger, more durable granite and glass products, this was a natural progression for Granite Transformations.
Granite Transformations new Terra collection features two new colors, Chiara and Di Siena, both with varying flecks of gold, brown, black and porcelain. The collection was created to not only improve the quality of time spent in the remodeled space, but also add beauty that is universally appealing, should a homeowner ever decide to move.
After a successful market test in October, we saw a strong interest in this collection in showrooms across the country and are confident that this product will be installed in many homes and businesses in the coming year," notes Griffenkranz.
For a complete kitchen or bathroom revamp, the addition of Granite Transformations Subway collection and its variety of colors can be used in changing the backsplash or adding an accent wall. Other unique product lines available are Trend Stone, Trend Glass and Trend Mosaics, which are manufactured from the finest natural materials in the world.
Granite Transformations countertop products are unique and feature a one-fourth inch slab of engineered stone or post-consumer recycled glass, manufactured to be both beautiful and highly durable, as well as scratch, stain and heat resistance. This thinner material can be installed directly on top of existing surfaces without any demolition, eliminating weeks of disturbance and inconvenience. Granite Transformations is used by homeowners, commercial and domestic interior designers, architects, builders and developers worldwide and installation typically can be completed in one to three days.
For more information, please visit Granite Transformations website at http://www.granitetransformations.com.
With U.S. offices based in Miramar, Fla., Granite Transformations, a remodeling services company, has facilities and showrooms around the world offering new and exciting alternatives to traditional countertops, backsplashes, floors and more. The first Granite Transformations franchise opened in 1996 in Perth, Australia. Consumer response to the revolutionary resurfacing process was overwhelming resulting in growth across Australia and New Zealand. With the first U.S. offices opening in 2001, Granite Transformations now has nearly 90 showrooms across North America with more showrooms opening every year. In 2004, the company began UK operations and is now also growing throughout Europe. In addition to easy installation and beautiful surfaces, the company also offers its customers the convenience of quality cabinet refacing and acrylic tub liners.

'Learning on the Land' Acquaints Students with Campus, Each Other
It was dark Sunday night, Aug. 19, when Sweet Briar's 222 new students formed a circle in the Quad and waited for the torch — more specifically an unlit glow stick — to be handed to them.
Surrounding the new students, and bearing the "torches," were many members of the Sweet Briar community. Students, faculty and staff stood ready, waiting for a cue from Sweet Briar President Elisabeth Muhlenfeld.
"Since the beginning of time," she said, "poets, prophets and philosophers have used light as a symbol of many things — of the soul, of the divine spirit, the spark of that which makes you human, of your intellect, of clarity and truth.
"Yesterday, you came here from all over the country and throughout the world, but you were not yet a member of this community. But this evening, you have begun to make this college your own.
"Notice that you are now, literally, standing in a circle, surrounded by many of the Sweet Briar community. You are now, literally, part of the inner circle."
On her signal, the torches were passed and lit. A ring that looked like hundreds of fireflies illuminated the darkness and welcomed the students into what Muhlenfeld called a "vast sisterhood of bright, thoughtful and caring women."
The ceremony was part of "Learning on the Land," a program developed in 1997 by Sweet Briar's outdoor programs office, better known as SWEBOP. In 1999, the Templeton Guide to College recognized the program as one that promotes character and development.
According to SWEBOP's Web site, the goals of "Learning on the Land" are to "develop connections among classmates [and] develop a connection with the Sweet Briar campus and utilize the land as part of the learning experience."
Led by Sweet Briar faculty and staff, this year's offerings included everything from hiking and gardening to making bamboo flutes. Some groups also started projects that will continue throughout the semester.
Here's what they were up to:
- Campus safety officer Kerry Scott led his group on a hike to Laura's Cove, a disused picnic area on the Sweet Briar campus. There, Scott and the students raked leaves, repaired stone barbeque pits, and rewarded themselves with roasted marshmallows and s'mores.
- Across campus, assistant professor of biology Janet Steven and her students spent some time at the Sweet Briar Community Garden, which is tended by Sweet Briar faculty, staff and students.After a tour of the one-acre garden, students weeded plots, harvested veggies and sampled the fruits of their labor.
- Rebecca McCord took her students on a musical journey, listening to film scores that relate to Sweet Briar's beautiful landscape and rich history. The program included the music of African-American slaves, Native Americans and plantation owners.
- One group, led by director of the first-year experience Tory Oelfke, saw Sweet Briar's splendor through the lens of a camera. Oelfke and his students also talked about how exercise, activities and personal hobbies can be stress reducers.
- "Individualism and Nature" was the topic for Kristen Ewing's group. The associate director of career services took her team on a transcendental journey. Along the way, they learned about themselves and the land through the writings of great American writers. They also made bookmarks from items found in nature.
- Michelle Badger, associate director of annual giving, led her group on a scavenger hunt that answered questions like, "How did Sweet Briar come into existence?" and "Why do our buildings have the names that they do?"They talked about gifts given to Sweet Briar and the importance of giving to causes that you're passionate about. The group also came up with ideas for a future fundraising project.
- For Linda Shank, vice president for communications and strategic initiatives, "Learning on the Land" was all about the green — green space, that is.The group visited Betsy's Garden, the upper lake and the butterfly garden, and talked about the importance of green space in our daily lives. The students also made portable green spaces — a dish garden or terrarium — to keep.
- Paula Kirkland, assistant director of admissions, took her students for a walk on the spooky side. They explored the ghost stories of Sweet Briar College, in particular those involving College founder Indiana Fletcher Williams and her daughter, Daisy.They visited Sweet Briar House and Monument Hill, where the Williams family is buried. The group also painted flower pots.
- New students might wonder who lives in all the houses on campus, so Cheryl Steele, dean of co-curricular life, took her group on a walking tour of Faculty Row and other streets where staff and faculty live. After the tour, they gathered at Steele's house on Elijah Road, which is called "Red Top."
- Debbie and Tim Kasper took students for a hike on Sweet Briar's new nature trails, located off Boathouse Road. There, they learned about some of their other "roommates" on campus — plants and animals — and ways we are all connected.Debbie Kasper is an assistant professor of anthropology and sociology. Her husband, Tim, is the director of the Institute for Sustainability and heads the community garden.
- Grounds superintendent Donna Meeks and groundskeeper Becky Snively showed their group some cool places to hide when you need to get away from it all, i.e. some of their favorite secluded spots on campus.They also went to the greenhouse, where students potted plants to take back to their dorm rooms.
- The hills were alive with the sound of flutes. Mark Magruder took his group to one of his favorite places on campus — the bamboo forest. Students explored the area, and then made and decorated bamboo flutes. A quick musical lesson was provided, too.
- Cheryl Warnock's group went canoeing. The assistant professor of theatre arts took her students for a float on Sweet Briar's beautiful lower lake, where birds, turtles, fish and other wildlife are in abundance.
- Some of Joan Lucy's students might have asked, "We're going to do what?" as they embarked on a series of outdoor adventures aimed at boosting confidence, self-esteem, trust and team building.
- Historical sites were on the itinerary when Lynn Rainville and her group set off for a two-hour walk, exploring the 19th-century Sweet Briar Plantation landscape. Sites included Sweet Briar House, an old cabin used by the enslaved community, the slave cemetery and Monument Hill.When it gets cooler in September, the group will reconvene to do maintenance at the slave cemetery. Rainville is an assistant professor of anthropology and archaeology.
- Theatre was in the air when Loretta Wittman and her students explored a variety of outdoor theatrical settings while reading from famous plays and musicals, such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Laundry and Bourbon" and "The Sound of Music." Wittman is an associate professor of theatre and dance.
- Master Naturalist Mike Hayslett took students on a quest for some of the tiniest campus residents. Students honed their observation, contemplation and journaling skills as they searched out the hidden flora and fauna of Sweet Briar.
- Sweet Briar has a lot of trees, some of which were seedlings before the American Revolution. Professor of biology Linda Fink and her group spent the evening in a nature sanctuary that protects some of these old trees. They used binoculars and field guides to identify trees and hunted for animals that use them as habitats. They also performed skits, creating stories about the trees.

Garcia to start against Seattle
Even if Brian Griese's injured elbow heals over the next several days, it appears Jeff Garcia will quarterback the Bucs for a second consecutive week next Sunday.
Coach Jon Gruden made that much clear during his postgame press conference a little while ago.
Garcia helped lead the Bucs to a 27-3 NFC South decision over the Panthers. He finished 15 of 20 for 173 yards and a touchdown and no interceptions (117.3 QB rating).

text: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5899946 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Vince Young gave the Tennessee Titans - and himself - a scare Wednesday when the back of his throwing hand slammed against a helmet during practice. Young was examined on the field, then walked off for X-rays and did not return to practice. Coach Jeff Fisher said he wasn't too concerned, because the preliminary examination on the field indicated only a bruise. "He's going to be all right. X-rays were negative," Fisher said. "He's going to have a sore hand, and we haven't ruled him out for the game." The Titans host Atlanta on Saturday. Young said he would test his hand Thursday to see if he could grip and squeeze a ball. The sound of his hand crashing against the helmet and the resulting sting worried the No. 3 pick overall in last April's draft.

John Dee
Rectorship of Long Leadenham in Lincolnshire, 1566-to end of life. He had been granted a yearly pension of one hundred crowns by King Edward in 1552, which he exchanged for the Rectorship of Upton-upon-Severn in Worcestershire in 1553. He never filled the duties in either of these parishes, which were considered as patronage, the income escaped him about 1580.
The Lincolnshire village of Leadenham (sometimes called Long Leadenham) lies eight miles north-west of Sleaford on the side of a gentle escarpment. This was known in the nineteenth century as the Cliff Range and marks the edge of the Vale of Trent. The village is at the crossroads of the road between Lincoln and Grantham, which follows the escarpment, and that between Sleaford and Newark.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
I am reading the KPMG link http://www.kpmg.com/US/en/IssuesAndInsights/ArticlesPublications/Documents/us-tax-americans-abroad.pdf, which is very helpful. I have a question about Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). My wife and I are expats. If my wife and I are making qualified annual foreign income of approximately 100k each, and we will be filing jointly, if after our foreign earned income exclusion is taken, will we have to pay tax due to the AMT? We will only be taking out standard deductions and not itemizing. If we do owe AMT, why so, and how it this figured?
Hi. There are some deductions and credit that will trigger AMT but foreign income exclusion is not one of them. High number of personal exceptions, significant state and local taxes, lots of medical expenses and reimbursed medical expenses, ISO - incentive stock options, lots of long term capital gains and high interest on second mortgage are most common triggers. Most of them are related to Itemized deduction (or Schedule A). Because several major tax legislation are still to be passed, reliable data to determine if your 2012 tax return will qualify for AMT or not are currently not available. IRS website offer free AMT Assistant, or calculator, that will help you with AMT calculation: http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Alternative-Minimum-Tax-%28AMT%29-Assistant-for-Individuals
The calculator is relatively easy to use and it is available for 2009 - 2011 tax years. It is form of online interview, 100% confidential, no need to identify yourself.


text: Hi all. I'm thinking of buying an iPad 2 for Christmas. Only thing that puts me off is I'd still need a laptop so I can use the printer and put in DVDs etc. As the iMac is expensive and you need a mortgage to buy one, would you say still get the iPad 2 or stick with the laptop? Basically pros and cons? iHolophyte

Are you a military hero? Did you donate money to the Romney-Ryan campaign?
Congratulations! You are now on the POS's enemies list! 😀
Breitbart News reports, Aug. 21, 2012:
[The POS] has added military heroes to his "enemies list," singling out veterans' groups such as Special Operations for America and Veterans for a Strong America on his campaign website, much as he singled out donors to Republican rival Mitt Romney for attack. Several veterans' groups have spoken out against the Obama administration's habit of taking credit for the Osama bin Laden raid and leaking military secrets for political gain–so the Obama campaign is trying to shoot the messenger.
The charge made by the Obama campaign is that the veterans' groups are "Swift Boat 2.0"–referring to the group that launched a series of ads (never refuted) in 2004 contesting claims by then-Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry about his war record. Left-wing groups aligned with the Obama administration have even gone so far as to call the U.S. Navy Seals "gutless" for their participation in criticism of Obama.
Ryan Zinke, a member of the Montana state Senate and a U.S. Navy SEAL from 1985 to 2008, told Breitbart News: "It's a sad time for America when a President has to resort to bully tactics, intimidation, and misleading personal attacks against anyone who dares to speak out and be heard. The good thing is Americans have a long history of defeating tyrants."
Joel Arends, recipient of the Bronze Star and chair of Veterans for a Strong America, said:
"The president's team is more serious about labeling a group of veterans as "swift boaters" than they are about going after the leakers in his administration. The reality is as simple as it is disturbing – American lives are now in danger because this White House under the leadership of President Obama have leaked vital national security secrets. And instead of appointing a special prosecutor – this President dispatches his campaign team to smear a group of vets looking out for their buddies in uniform. It just shows the lack of seriousness on the part of this administration.
If they want to call us swift boaters because we are looking out for our buddies on the battlefield that's fine with me – we'll take the political body blows for our comrades in order to ensure that the American people fully understand our position on the issue and see the administration's intransigence on this issue."
I'm not a military hero nor even a military vet, but I did donate money to Mitt Romney's campaign after he picked Congressman Paul Ryan to be his VP running-mate.
Maybe I'll see you in the cattle-trains bound for those FEMA camps in every state of continental U.S.A.! With any luck, maybe I might even be in a bunk bed next to yours! 😀

From the narrow fronted urban plot to the more extensive rural site, there are designs in this range to suit every eventuality. Design options can range from the simple changing of a window to a patio door or removing a partition to create a more open plan living environment. You may wish to adopt a more adventurous approach by creating a home office or 'granny' flat or convert an integral garage to provide additional accommodation.
Each of the digital illustrations in our 2 storey range, show just one of the ways in which a home can be finished externally. Like the clothes that you wear, in all cases they can of course be changed to give an altogether different appearance to suit your own tastes and preferences or that which may be dictated by your local planning authority.
You may already have architectural drawings or design ideas of your own, in this case we will be delighted to discuss these with you.

DEERFIELD BEACH — The brutal beating of a 15-year-old girl at a middle school was triggered by a text message dispute between the victim and the teenager accused of punching and stomping on her with steel-toed boots, authorities said Thursday.
The 15-year-old youth was ordered held at a juvenile detention center while prosecutors determine whether to charge him as an adult. He was arrested after the attack Wednesday on a charge of premeditated attempted murder. His next court date is March 26.
The Broward Sheriff's Office said Josie Lou Ratley was in critical condition a day after the attack.
The Sheriff's Office also said a 13-year-old girl was arrested Thursday as an accessory to the brutal beating.
Broward County Sheriff Al Lamberti said the 13-year-old girl pointed out the victim to the youth when he arrived at Deerfield Beach Middle School. Lamberti said the youth and the victim didn't know each other well.
The girl "knew he was going to do this, did nothing to stop him, and in fact, directed him to Josie, the victim, and pointed her out," Lamberti said.
The male teenager and the 13-year-old girl were in a relationship, and she had been using other people's phones to send him text messages because she didn't have one of her own, Lamberti said. He had sent a message to Ratley's phone to get in touch with the other girl.
Lamberti said that the victim objected to the youth's relationship with the 13-year-old and said so during an exchange of text messages with him.
"Those messages went back and forth, and one of the messages was a comment regarding the suicide of his brother, that's apparently what set him off," Lamberti said.
Authorities said the youth then rode his bicycle to the middle school and got the 13-year-old to help him find Ratley.
A teacher pulled the teenager off the girl, who was airlifted to a hospital.
Students from the same middle school were also involved in an attack last year in which a teenager, Michael Brewer, was set on fire.
"It seems like with this youth violence happening, it seems like we have a culture of callousness going on with kids. We really have to get to the bottom of it." Lamberti said.

EDC kits?
Well I started this on the accessories and gear page but figured I'd get a better response here...I wanted to get some different ideas about what you guys (and gals) have for your every day carry. I'll start us off
-Springfield XD .40 service in a Concealment Soultions Black Mamba IWB holster
- 2 mags (24 rounds) of hornady TAP
- kershaw volt II folder
- smith and wesson extreme ops folder (back up)
- streamlight polytac led flashlight
- Gerber multi tool
And of course, my trusty iPhone 4
So what do you guys like to carry? Do you keep it simple or walk around like bat man with a utility belt? I want to know!
No utility belt here. I have several in my carry rotation from 9mm to .45AP, which I trade out every couple of weeks plus a .380 back-up. No extra mags because I can draw & fire another pistol faster than I can insert a new mag & even that is strictly in the case of a malfunction with my primary. I figure if I need more than 8 rounds, I failed to recognize a problem that could have been avoided, to start with. Since I am retired, nothing forces me to go anywhere that I can foresee a problem, like a trip to the bad side of town, etc.
On my person, during the warm Spring/Summer... Radom P64 in 9x18mm & extra mag w/ Hornady defense rounds, half-serrated 3 1/2 blade Spyderco pocket knife (one handed opening type), cell phone (fully charged), wallet, my reading glasses, a clean hanky, and MOST important... my driver's license and CCW permit in a separate ID case for quick access should the need arise (ALWAYS have it on you when you carry!!) and a palm leaf cowboy hat.
In the Fall/Winter.. replace the Radom with my Ruger P95 & an extra mag (... again, loaded w/ Hornady defense) and a wool cowboy hat..... I also try and have a smile on my face where ever I go (puts others in a good mood and avoids confrontations)...
Now in the vehicles.... 1st aid kit, jumper cables, short trenching tool, hatchet, blanket, about 20ft of rope, small fire extinguisher and a maglite each... of course, there is always AAA too. Fortune always favors the prepared.
What about the "extras"? After all, our pistols are just 1 survival tool. We need to supplement that. What kind of light, folder, multi tool, etc?
"No extra mags because I can draw & fire another pistol faster than I can insert a new mag & even that is strictly in the case of a malfunction with my primary." ....I do believe that would be called a "New York Reload" according to me father-in-law ;)
"What about the "extras"? After all, our pistols are just 1 survival tool. We need to supplement that. What kind of light, folder, multi tool, etc?" ....Not quite sure what you mean there my friend. Gun, extra mag, pocket knife...... maybe a small light of some kind (possibly attached to the gun?).... What more should you need (and more importantly, Why??)... Could you expand on the question? :confused:
On more than one occasion I've though of doing exactly that, just shoot the hell out of my truck.
...and you guys just gave me another smile to carry. :D
In my pockets:
Torch lighter
Leatherman multitool
4" Cold Steel folder
Fenix TA20 tactical light
(Pen, chap Stick, Phone, Wallet, Keys).
On my person:
Glock 17L.
In my EDC bag (a camera bag always with me at home or left in the car when I'm out):
Two spare mags (34 rounds).
22oz water bottle,
Mini Duct Tape roll (1" x 75' I think)
Spare C123 Batteries (flashlight)
Filter for water bottle
Iodine Tablets
Toothbrush / Paste
$2 in Quarters (parking, etc)
Disposable and Non-Disposable ear plugs.
Water Purification Tablets
Knife Sharpener
Claritin (to relieve cold symptoms).
Miniature Corkscrew ( :) )
Bottle of lotion (for my hands :P )
Another pen
Some peppermints (for my breath :P )
Gun Club badge
Fruit Bar
The idea is that first, I ALWAYS have at least a knife / multitool, a good light, and lighter (just because it is small enough for pockets). Where legal / allowed, I will have my weapon on me, or at least in the car.
Finally, with the EDC bag, the idea is that I can pretty easily grab it and get the essentials. Basically, if I ever had to bail from my car for whatever reason, I might not have time to grab a full pack from the trunk, but snatching the bag from the passenger seat is easy.
So, including with the EDC bag I have basic survival tools, a bit of food, a bit of water, fire, extra ammo, and then several comforts that might be missed (the medicine and toiletries, for example). And actually, I use and refill the water bottle probably 5 days of the week, and I occasionally used the toiletries if I end up staying with away from home at the last minute.
I am not against weapon-mounted lights, but I agree a good, variable-powered handheld flashlight has just been WAY too handy to not have. I use it at least a couple nights a week, whether looking for keys in the dark or, a couple nights ago, using it to identify faded street sights by shining the 225-lumen beam through the windshield :D .

Prairie Section Primed for Expansion
By Brian Jacobsmeyer
Editor's Note: This is the fifth in an occasional series of columns highlighting the history and achievement of APS Sections. The first column appeared in October 2010. There are currently nine geographical sections, covering most of the United States and parts of Canada, with a tenth, in the mid-Atlantic region, in formation.
Prairie Section
Formed only four years ago, the Prairie Section remains the smallest–albeit fastest growing– APS section. Despite the section's short existence, its geographical area has long been a hotbed for physics research and education, encompassing Fermilab, Argonne National Laboratory, and numerous universities ranging from top research schools to teaching-focused liberal arts colleges.
Between 2009 and 2011, section membership rose over 50 percent, and student membership more than doubled, rising from 133 to 315 members over the two year period. But the section's leaders still see room for improvement.
Five full states formally belong to the section, namely Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. They are joined by parts of Indiana. Four neighboring states–North and South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska–don't belong to any APS section, however, and Prairie Section leaders will submit a proposal soon to add these states, said Cheng Chin, the Prairie Section Chair from the University of Chicago. If all goes according to plan, the section will nearly double its geographic reach after including these new member states.
APS members from these neighboring states have already played an active role in the blossoming Prairie Section. In fact, the section meeting this year will be held at the University of Kansas, home to the section's Vice Chair, Stephen Sanders.
In addition to increasing membership and engagement, Chin and other leaders also plan to extend the section's community impact. They hope to collaborate with science institutions throughout the area to increase public outreach efforts and educational opportunities, such as public tours of national labs.
"There's a sense we should be doing more," said Russell Betts, former section chair and current dean of the College of Science and Letters at Illinois Institute of Technology. "One of the things we have been looking at is what defines the Prairie Section."
Part of what defines any APS section are the regular meetings, which give researchers and students a chance to showcase their science among local peers. When the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) hosted the annual section meeting last year amidst talks of shutting down the physics department, Department Head Cliff Chancy saw it as an opportunity to highlight the program's strengths.
Although there's a strong research community at UNI, the physics department prides itself on its dedication to undergraduate education. Consequently, Chancy made sure to emphasize UNI's undergraduate mentoring while simplifying the meeting registration process for younger students.
"It's about showing local variety and local strengths, and that's what we did," said Chancy.
Simple actions like waiving the pre-registration fee for undergraduates helped stimulate undergraduate participation at the meeting. In the future, section leaders want to distribute more travel fellowships for students and postdoctoral researchers and foster an environment that rewards outstanding student achievement. As membership increases, there will be even more opportunities to award prizes for student research at the annual meeting, said Chin.
Joint meetings with members of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) over the past few years have further reflected the section's dedication to physics education. During the section's first meetings, attendance was a concern, so teaming with AAPT helped popularize the annual meeting.
But meeting attendance has grown rapidly over just a few years. While the first meetings had between 30 and 40 attendees, last year's meeting tripled these numbers to exceed 100 participants, said Chin.
At this early stage in the section's history, increasing membership and engagement begets much more participation, and Chin remains optimistic about the section's future.
"We're growing, and we have a pretty ambitious plan to improve membership," he said.
This year's section meeting has been tentatively slated for early November.
APS encourages the redistribution of the materials included in this newspaper provided that attribution to the source is noted and the materials are not truncated or changed.

TEL AVIV (Oct. 27)
The members of the 120-man United Jewish Appeal mission from the United States today continued their inspection tour of institutions in this country supported by the Joint Distribution Committee through Malben, the social welfare network maintained here by the JDC for aged, sick and handicapped immigrants. The mission also visited ORT installations in Israel.
Tonight, the members of the mission met again with leaders of the Israel Government, to be apprised of current problems of immigrant absorption and Israeli expansion of its industry and agriculture. The principal speaker at tonight's session was Minister of Agriculture Moshe Dayan.
