Stand could be heavier and stronger but works ok. It definetly needs to be anchored or bolted to the floor, or maybe some heavy weights, or concrete blocks put on it's base. Other than that it does hold the grinder like it should.

I originally got the heavy duty stand BUT my Crafstman 8" Variable Speed grinder's holes did not align (Top plate too small) so I had to get this one. It's good. Doesn't come with bolts or nuts for the grinder.Why Sears would sell a stand, their best one, that won't accomidate their own products is beyond me!!!!

I ordered the stand on a Sunday and it was delivered two days later. It was simple to assemble and it fits my grinder just great. The quality exceeded my expectations.

Two workers at a farm south of Pyongyang told The Associated Press on Sunday that the new rules will allow them to keep any surplus crops—to sell, barter or donate—after they have fulfilled state-mandated quotas. Current rules require them to turn everything over to the state beyond what farmers can keep to feed their families.
The new directives have been widely rumored abroad but were never previously made public outside North Korea's collective farms. The changes may seem highly technical to outsiders, but by giving farmers an incentive to boost production North Korea could be starting down the same path as China when it first began experimenting with market-based reforms in the 1970s.
They would also mark the first significant changes to North Korea's collective farming system since leader Kim Jong Un took power earlier this year. The outside world has been watching closely to see how Kim's rule will differ from that of his autocratic father, who died in December, and how he will deal with the country's chronic food shortage.
The farmers at Migok Cooperative Farm in South Hwanghae Province, in southwestern North Korea, were informed of the changes during meetings last month, according to the workers. These new directives could take effect with this year's upcoming fall harvest, they said.
"We expect a good harvest this year," said O Yong Ae, a worker at the Migok farm, one of the region's largest and most productive. "I'm happy because we can keep the crops we worked so hard to grow."

CW President Teases The Vampire Diaries Spin-Offby Matt Richenthal at .
Dawn Ostroff is the President of Entertainment of The CW Television Network.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she talked about the future of various shows, including a possible spin-off of The Vampire Diaries. Excerpts from the conversation are below:
Why has The Vampire Diaries been so successful? Great writing, great casting, a topic that's in the zeitgeist and a known franchise is always what we look for. It's the perfect example of the kind of qualities we stress in every show we pick up.
Might there be a spin-off? Hopefully in a few years.
Will One Tree Hill be renewed? We're encouraged. We think [Creator] Mark Schwahn has done a great job with the show. The fans are the most loyal and dedicated I think I've ever seen. They have some 1.6 million fans on Facebook. Creatively, we feel the show is in a really good place.
On low ratings for Gossip Girl and 90210: I wouldn't say they haven't done as well. You have to realize that you have a lot of people time-shifting our shows and watching in different ways. Mondays have been particularly tough this year -- it has become more competitive. 90210 creatively is light years away from where it was last year. Sometimes that show is watched more on DVR than live.
Will Smallville remain on Fridays next season? Viewers have not only followed it, but have endorsed the show creatively. I think it's too early too tell [where it will go], but it's been doing well on Fridays.

LOL "will smallville remain on friday next season?" whaaaat? it's in its final season already?!? so she as the president doesnt even know that her own show is in its final season"
Hello!! If you read the date the interview was done you would find that it was during season 9.
Also if they were to do a spinoff to Vampire Diaries I highly doubt that one of the brothers would leave the show. It would more likely be Bonnie or Caroline it would be centred around. Also who cares if it is riding Twilights success. It is a great show on its own.
Also no matter what anyone says, Melrose Place had its good points. And yes Private Practice is a great example of a good spin-off.
A vampire diaries spin off is insanely dumb. They will Probably take one of the salvatore brothers away to the other show. There are some storylines theu coild explore but will be a huge mistake in the end.
About smallville: either she is really dumb (which is a probability) or the hollywood reporter tried to catch her off guard and reveal the truth behind the rumors and she just said what she said to be coy. I dont know.
Spin offs arent so bad, Private Practice is a great show.

Firstly she needs to dump that D-bag manager who started her down this road.Twerking originates from the black race & coincidentally So does this manager.He wants to turn her into some Unique Funky white can do black Act thinking this will bring him attention & therefore more money.He's such an ignoramus he does not know that this 'Twerk' is not the correct 'Dance' of African tradition.People need to do some research, also, before they start spewing out false accusations about Miley's family,and assassinate her verbally.Talk about filth.Why don't you talk about That video Robin Thicke TRIED to put out or his goddamn
Ugly suit, or the fact that he is being Sued for Stealing his Songs?Why Not, Ay?
BTW Baron, Miley has never been
Hannah. That is called 'Acting.)
I couldn't believe how disgusting Miley's performance was. There was some young kids there which that wasn't cool at all. She is trying to be someone shes not so it looks gross. Well that puts her off being a role model for under 18. She needs the Lord in her life. shes going over board...I dont care for her anymore..she has no respect for her self....

Recent reviews:
February 22, 2013 - This ring gave my jewelry an international flair. Very interesting conversation piece. Love it!
December 25, 2012 - I love it! it goes with both silver and gold jewelry and looks far more expensive than it is!
November 16, 2012 - Do not believe the sizing of these rings. I normally wear a 7 on my ringfinger but the ring was more between 5-6. Maybe it was incorrectly identified?? I could not get it on that finger at all. Guess I'd need an 8, but who knows if it would actually be sized up enough to comfortably fit. The rings are nice but are not in accordance with standard American sizing. Just be aware that this item is a guessing game when you go to purchase it.
October 20, 2012 - The ring is nice. It says it's a size 8, but is too loose to wear. I have returned it for a size 7. Hopefully, they will refund the extra $9.95 I spent just three weeks ago for an item that is now $10.00

An first full-length assessment of the contributions to economics of Friedrich Hayek (Nobel Prize 1974). Hayek is unique, he argues, for a number of reasons: because of his emphasis on the function of institution s in coordinating the various plans of individuals in the market; his attack on the expansionary policies of central banks which discoordinate the patterns of business investment and produce depressions; and his view about the possibility of rational economic calculation under socialism.

News New England Tour of "Sea of Birds" Debuts at Marlboro College, March 6-7
Marlboro, VT- (January 13, 2009) - Marlboro College and Vermont Performance Lab co-present, "Sea of Birds," a new interdisciplinary storytelling performance created by artist Sebastienne Mundheim at 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday, March 6-7.
"Sea of Birds" is an outgrowth of Mundheim's work in interdisciplinary biographic portraiture originally commissioned by the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival, with additional funding by The Philadelphia Theatre Initiative, a program of the Pew Charitable Trusts, and Sigi Berwind. The show premiered in September 2008 and now begins a New England tour with two shows in Marlboro's Whittemore Theater. Tickets will be $15 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased for $12 through www.marlboro.edu or www.vermontperformancelab.com/events.
Large kinetic paper sculpture, dancers, live musicians, and video projections tell a story that parallels a child's memory of Eastern Europe and war with fantasy characters from an American child's imagination. The characters of Gregor the Tormented Meadow Dweller, Guna of the Birch Trees and Ivars the Butterfly Catcher live in a shifting, projected environment of blue and black birds explore the lessons we extract from encounter and departure.
Sebastienne Mundheim is a writer, director, designer, performer, educator, and filmmaker. She has created 17 original performances commissioned by institutions including the University of Pennsylvania, The Rosenbach Museum and Library, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Franklin and Marshall College. She is known for synthesizing complex, sophisticated academic content into lyrical educational performances geared toward young audiences, appealing to all ages. Using sculptural props, shadow puppets, dancers, actors, and music, her performances teach lessons and ask questions. Sebastienne received her BA/BFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 1990, and her EdM from Harvard in 2000.
Mundheim will also give a free, public artist talk and demonstration at the River Gallery School, located at 32 Main Street in Brattleboro at 6:30 pm on Monday, March 2. Reservations are recommended. For more information call the River Gallery School at 802-257-1577.
This performance stems from the ongoing partnership between Marlboro College and Vermont Performance Lab, which supports the work of contemporary performing artists through residencies with access to state-of-the-art studio spaces and educational outreach programs. Funding for the presentation comes from the New England Foundation for the Arts and the Alice Baber Trust.

Good for the price
By Emma
from Pennington, NJ
Good lap-desk for the price. Had hoped to use it across the arms of a chair for my laptop, but it bows a bit without a pillow under it. But it's a nice width with plenty of surface area. It's thin enough to fit inconspicuously next to a chair. My son also uses it on his lap for homework-- it's wide enough for a big text book as well as writing materials.
Money well spent

This lap desk was the perfect addition to what my wife needed for her evening paperwork. This item was sent quickly, was very affordable and takes little space. I would recommend this for anyone needing to work from their recliner.

Works Well
By Student
from Athens, Ga
Have very limited space. I'm a student and needed a make-shift desk or something to use for writing while I sit between bed and dresser. It is wide enough to use. Most others are not. I have a very similar one handed down to me that is about 15+ years old, but it is thinner than this one and really rough looking. I like this new one's better thickness and sturdyness to hold more without sagging and it's attractive finish. I also liked the price.

Press conference announces the latest Academic Progress Rates: Hear from NCAA President Mark Emmert, NCAA Committee on Academic Performance Chair Walter Harrison and select NCAA staff. Listen here »
The scorecards that track classroom performance of Division I sports teams show continued improvement for most squads.
Based on the most recent APR scores, eight teams are banned from competing in the postseason this coming academic year because of poor performance in the classroom over a number of years.
Of the eight, five are men's basketball teams: Cal-State Northridge; Chicago State; Grambling; Southern University, Baton Rouge; and Louisiana-Monroe.
The other three are football teams: Idaho State, Jackson State and Southern University.
In addition, another seven teams faced a postseason ban but received a conditional waiver for this coming year. Waivers can be granted for a variety of reasons but generally include demonstrated academic improvement, active presidential involvement, meeting certain APR benchmarks and implementation of an APR improvement plan.
These teams remain subject to the postseason ban in future years if they do not meet their specific academic performance conditions or implement their academic improvement plans.
Five of the seven are men's basketball teams: Ball State, Jacksonville State, Morgan State, Southern Utah and UAB. Two teams (Morgan State and Southern Utah) will incur other historical penalties, such as practice restrictions. The other three received full conditional waivers and do not appear on any penalty list.
The other two teams receiving conditional waivers are North Carolina A&T football and UT-Chattanooga women's soccer. Both still face other historical penalties.
According to the most recent figures, the latest four-year Division I Academic Progress Rate is 970, up three points over last year. The average four-year rate also rose in the high-profile sports of men's basketball, football and baseball.
Moving into its eighth year, APR has shifted the national dialogue to the point that even casual college sports fans are aware of it, said NCAA President Mark Emmert.
"For the first time in history of intercollegiate sport, we have a common language and common expectation around academics," Emmert said. "The expectation is that every program will reach a certain level of academic performance, and that level is important. To this end, the reform effort has been almost immeasurable in its impact."
Emmert stressed that the NCAA's academic movement is evolving from reform to expectation of student-athlete academic success.
"So instead of reform, we look to academic success and academic performance as a natural and automatic expectation of being a student-athlete," Emmert said. "We need to keep working on that performance, just as a team works to improve its athletics performance, so their academics continue to rise as well."
In the NCAA's high-profile sports, football's average four-year APR is 946, up two points over last year; men's basketball is 945, up five points; and baseball is 959, up five points.
Fewer student-athletes are leaving school ineligible each year, while more than 8,400 student-athletes have returned to campus and earned their degrees in the past seven years.
Every Division I sports team calculates its APR each academic year, based on the eligibility and retention of each scholarship student-athlete. Teams scoring below certain thresholds can face penalties, such as scholarship losses and restrictions on practice and competition. Rates are based on the past four years' performance.
In terms of penalties this year, 103 teams at 67 schools have been sanctioned for poor academic performance. Last year, 137 teams at 80 schools were penalized, and two years ago 177 teams at 107 schools received penalties. There are currently more than 6,400 teams in Division I.
There are 1,143 fewer student-athletes this year who are "0-for-2," compared to 2004-05, the first year of APR penalties. This term defines student-athletes who leave school academically ineligible and do not earn either point in the APR calculation.
Students considered 0-for-2 account for just 2.4 percent (2,690) of Division I student-athletes and are down almost 30 percent since 2004-05.
In stark contrast, 8,427 former Division I student-athletes have returned to college to earn their degrees in the past seven years. In the process, they earned a bonus point in the APR calculation for their former team.
Almost half of these students – 46 percent – competed in men's basketball, football and baseball.
While men's basketball and football keep improving overall, these sports continue to post the lowest multi-year APRs of all sports. Football in particular saw a slight decline in its single-year rate due to struggles with eligibility.
Recently passed legislation is intended to address football's eligibility issue. Meanwhile, legislation to address men's basketball issues continues to be discussed by the Division I membership.
The NCAA will work closely with Historically Black Colleges and Universities as well, as they seek to improve the academic performance of their student-athletes.
Looking to the future, the Division I membership is examining how to further strengthen academics in a number of ways, said Walter Harrison, president of the University of Hartford and chair of the Division I Committee on Academic Performance.
Harrison noted that CAP is recommending moving to a single penalty structure to streamline the process and lead to more improvement from the bottom up. The proposal would set a single benchmark for penalties that correlates to a Graduation Success Rate of at least 50 percent, with the long-term expectation that the rate would increase in the future.
Currently, teams face two cutlines for penalties: 925 for immediate penalties and 900 for historical penalties. The 900 APR cutline for historical penalties would be eliminated.
In addition, the Division I Academic Cabinet is examining adjustments to initial eligibility and transfers from two-year colleges. The Division I Board of Directors later this summer will consider these proposals as a package to strengthen academics.
"Taken together, these elements should enhance our ultimate goal, which is graduation," Harrison said. "I am not satisfied with all the results, and we have a lot to improve, but I am satisfied we have made enormous progress."
To ensure fairness in the academic performance program, the NCAA provides adjustments to APR for students who transfer with certain grade point averages and those who leave in good academic standing for professional athletics careers.
This past year, 694 student-athletes were granted APR adjustments for professional departures, out of 6,422 Division I sports teams. Almost half (46 percent) were in baseball. Of the 74 adjustments for men's basketball, only nine were for first-year college student-athletes.
Teams that score below 925 on their four-year APR and have a student leave school academically ineligible can lose up to 10 percent of their scholarships through immediate penalties. Teams scoring below 900 also can face historical penalties for poor academic performance over time.

|Four-Year Average
|970 (+3)
|959 (+5)
|Men's Basketball
|945 (+5)
|946 (+2)
This is the sixth year of immediate penalties and the fifth for historical penalties. Teams facing a third year of historically based penalties can be banned from postseason play, in addition to losing more scholarships and incurring practice restrictions from a second year of long-term sanctions.
Institutions can face restricted Division I membership for the entire athletics department if a team has four consecutive years of poor academic performance.
For this year, 103 teams at 67 different colleges and universities have received an immediate or historical sanction.
A total of 55 teams did not earn a 925 APR and had a student-athlete leave school ineligible, and they have lost scholarships. Five teams have lost immediate scholarships and received the first historical penalty (public warning) as well for posting an APR below 900.
Another 16 teams under 900 APR received a public warning; 19 teams received practice restrictions; and eight have received a postseason ban, compared to just one last year. Another seven teams faced a postseason ban but received a waiver. Those teams will need to meet the specific waiver conditions or face the ban in the future.
Last week, 909 teams were publicly recognized for posting multi-year APRs in the top 10 percent of each sport.
The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 academic years.
APR scores per institution, along with penalties per school and teams receiving public recognition, are available online through the NCAA's searchable database.

If it were just a matter of population growth, the story of the Arab-American media would be a simple tale of opportunity. Over the last decade, Arab Americans have become one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States.
But the story of the media trying to serve that audience is more complicated than that: The Arab-American population across the United States is ethnically diverse. Arab-American media are being buffeted by the same technology and economic trends as the news media generally, as well as a more challenging advertising market. And, advancements in technology have brought new competition from Arab outlets located in the Middle East and North Africa.
Overall, the current Arab-American news media are relatively young. Newspapers and news websites are currently the most prominent sector, with much of the coverage focused on community news and events. There is also coverage at the national level, though, and recently, the Arab uprisings have given rise to more international coverage of news from "back home."Read the full article, Arab-American Media Bring News to Diverse and Growing Community, on the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism website.

Avoid these seven deadly sins at all costs in order to greatly improve the probability of success in your fantasy pool.
Sloth or Apathy
We're all busy and it's far too easy to be lazy when you are preparing for your draft. If you only rely on published lists (not that there's anything wrong with that!), then you are leaving your fate to a list that may not accurately reflect the scoring system used in your pool. Using published lists should be used in conjunction with your own assessment of each player and their situation. Don't be lazy, do your homework!
Pay attention to early season trends and try to identify whether or not to make a free agent pick up or trade if your league allows. Players like Paul Stastny (two years ago) and Mike Green (last year) were likely taken in many keeper leagues with a simple free agent pick up or waiver wire selection.
Winning a hockey pool requires more than just showing up on draft day. You need to follow up your draft by being aware of who's performing up to expectations and who is not. Should you trade or drop a player who is off to a slow start or should you be patient?
Making good early season decisions could be the difference between winning your pool and finishing second.
A strong desire to win your hockey pool can lead you to do some things that in hindsight, you are not very proud of. Trading a veteran after a slow start for the flavor of the week or shady dealings with a buddy in order to help you win the pool are examples of desperate dealings.
Resist the temptation to give in to these desires, especially if they make you look bad to the rest of your pool. The stink of desperation will betray you and be remembered by fellow poolies more often than you want to believe.
Avoid over-indulgences. If you have too many good players at a certain position and you just can't use them all, then maybe it would be a fine time to make a goodwill gesture and swing a deal with one of the teams at the bottom of the standings. That will also pave the way for future dealings with that owner.
Another take is that you should limit the number of fantasy pools you are in. Too much of a good thing can split your attention and mean an unhappy ending for all your teams.
Greed or Avarice
Never get greedy in trade discussions. If you fleece someone in your pool, others will take notice. When you do this, you are effectively telling all the other owners in your pool that you are a ruthless shark and will eat them alive with no regard for their needs.
Making fair trades may not pay immediate dividends, but will ensure that you will have viable trading partners for years to come. Your reputation is essential to future fantasy hockey success.
Control that disappointment at not sitting atop your pool standings. Direct your anger in ways that will benefit your team. Don't trade players to a buddy in order to bring down the guy you just can't seem to beat.
That's not the right way to do it. People will see right through that and you will lose their respect. Take anger management classes if necessary.
Don't envy the winning team, learn from it. Study the rosters of winning fantasy teams with the same format as yours and use that as a blueprint to guide your future success.
Identify what they have that no one else seems to have or try to figure out what the key is to their winning ways and try to emulate that.
It may not happen overnight, but a winning formula is definitely something to model your strategy after. The goal here is for your fantasy team to be the envy of the league.
Generally considered the most serious of sins, once you start believing that you are better than your opponents, you are destined to lose. Pride is what ultimately caused Lucifer to plummet from the Heavens and it can cause you to get complacent and fall in the standings.
Never be completely satisfied with your fantasy team's performance. Always look to make changes with an eye to the future. Don't sit back and admire your team, because there will always be someone out there looking to bring you down.
Final Thoughts
Don't get caught up in these "sins" of fantasy hockey. Always focus on winning strategies, pay attention and work hard. Doing the necessary research and respecting your fellow fantasy owners will help you to win your league time and again.

John Evans Band is a staple in the Austin music scene. He frequents any and every honky tonk that will have him. His daughter, Abbie, is always by his side as his accomplice and merch girl. Based on her fearless spirit, you might not ever know that Abbie was born with an incurable skin disease, Epidermolysis Bullosa. This passionate spitfire compelled Austin-based producers, Cary Bell and Jessica Miller, to capture the inspiring life of a true fighter.
Abbie insisted that she go on the road at 15 years old. With much hesitation, her mother, Stacie Evans, agreed to let her make her own decisions. Music gave Abbie a fire and strength that no one could have predicted. This empowering story is proof that you can live life on your own terms, no matter what obstacles you might face. Everyone can relate to Abbie at 18- figuring out who you are and who you want to be, overcoming fear of the unknown, and struggling to just be normal.
This film is bound to be one of the best documentaries of 2013 when it hits the film festival circuit this year. As the filming wraps up, Merch Girl needs your help with the finishing touches. They have started a KickStarter campaign in hopes of raising enough funds to get Abbie's story told. What is all this KickStarter hoopla, anyway? It is an online threshold pledge system for funding creative projects. Here, your generous donations are rewarded based on the amount you contribute, like tickets to a private screening of the film and a concert featuring Hayes Carll. As per Kickstarter regulations, if fundraising goals are not met by Aug 23, no money will change hands.
This event will take place at Antone's on February 10th at 2pm. Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with Abbie and the filmmakers. Hayes Carll, John Evans, and Emily Bell will then perform in an intimate song swap. Not only will people experience great music and a wonderful movie, but by purchasing a ticket, they will also be helping to finish the documentary and be ever connected to Abbie's story.
"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." -Bob Marley

I missed Germany's first two group games in South Africa. I wasn't really that interested in the Germans, and clung hard to familiar English prejudices—they'd be a phlegmatic, pragmatic bunch of defensively-minded tall men who'd head a lot of balls into the net and would have no problems with penalty kicks. Even though the Germans hadn't really played that way in 2006, or in the 2008 European Cup, and even though the midfielder Michael Ballack, who often captained the team, had always been a great player to watch, I'd generally backed Germany's opponents in most of those games, hoping that the team's inevitable progression would be brought to an end before the semi-finals or the finals. (Only against Italy do I ever want Germany to win.) When Ballack was ruled out of the World Cup squad after an ankle injury he picked up playing for Chelsea in the F.A. Cup Final, I found it easier to skip the first games. I ran into one of my neighbors after the first weekend of the tournament, who told me how good Germany had looked against Australia, but I just assumed they'd rolled over an easy opponent. Then came the report of Germany's 1-0 defeat to Serbia and the possibility that, with a defeat by Ghana in the third of the group games, Germany might, shockingly, be out at the group stage.
So I watched the Germany-Ghana game on June 23rd. I really wanted Ghana to make it out of the group, and I thought I'd be happy to see Germany face a humiliatingly early departure. But it gradually became clear that my neighbor—and everyone else who'd been excited by Germany in that opening game—was right. Both the Germans and the Ghanaians fielded young sides, several of whom had recently been playing on their under-21 teams, and the match was fast and sometimes exhilarating. Ghana's youth can be a liability at times—resulting in impulsive late tackles and impetuous shots—but even though Germany's defense was occasionally shaky, it seemed chiefly to benefit from the speed and ebullience of its young players. Mesut Özil, the twenty-one-year-old Werder Bremen midfielder, scored one of the most beautiful goals I'd seen in the tournament so far, after a pass from Thomas Müller, a twenty-year-old who plays for Bayern Munich. I'm not sure you're supposed to call footballers delicate, but Özil combined delicacy and precision in his touch while appearing almost mischievous on the pitch. He seemed to elude defenders and continuously managed to open up space that shouldn't be there. Germany won that game 1-0. Serbia's impotence in its concurrent group game against Australia resulted in Ghana's survival.* I was pleased to see Ghana go through, but I was far more surprised by the German squad's dismantling of my prejudices. Özil's left foot had demolished a couple of decades of my indifference—punctuated by brief (ninety-plus-minute) periods of fervent antipathy whenever Germany was playing England—to the Nationalmannschaft.Continue Reading >>

More than 1 million visitors to five Tucson-area attractions can benefit from a program that is providing sunscreen and sun safety information.
The Skin Cancer Institute at The University of Arizona Cancer Center is working with Biosphere 2, Pima Air and Space Museum, Reid Park Zoo, Tohono Chul Park and Tucson Botanical Gardens to install sunscreen dispensers in public restrooms at each venue, and to provide sun safety information for guests, staff and volunteers.
"One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Most skin cancer is caused by overexposure to the sun's powerful rays, for which visitors to Tucson attractions may be unprepared," said Denise Spartonos, the Skin Cancer Institute's community outreach coordinator.
The Protect Your Skin program is funded by a $10,000 grant from the University of Arizona's Community Connections Grants program. Spartonos said there are no other Arizona cancer-related organizations working with outdoor venues to prevent skin cancer, and the five organizations have not regularly provided sun protection for their guests.
"This program can serve as a model for future connections with other community agencies and as an example of a citywide campaign targeting outdoor venues," Spartonos said.
The Skin Cancer Institute for six years has worked with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum to provide sunscreen, sun safety information and more recently, sunblocking umbrellas for guests to use as they stroll the museum's pathways. The Desert Museum has 400,000 visitors annually.
The Skin Cancer Institute will conduct its annual Living in Harmony with the Sun program at the Desert Museum on June 2 from 4 to 8 p.m. as part of the Museum's Summer Saturday Night program. Dermatologists will perform free skin screenings in the Baldwin Building, and there will be interactive exhibits and sun safety information.
"The Skin Cancer Institute unites the Arizona Cancer Center's many skin cancer prevention activities into one coordinated group, bringing together innovative research, visionary clinical care, life-changing education and community outreach. Our mission is to prevent and cure skin cancer," Spartonos said.

Alternative Names
Disseminated lupus erythematosus; SLE; Lupus; Lupus erythematosus
Definition of Systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disorder. SLE may affect the skin, joints, kidneys, and other organs.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
SLE (lupus) is an autoimmune disease. This means there is a problem with the body's normal immune system response.
Symptoms vary from person to person, and may come and go. The condition may affect one organ or body system first. Others may become involved later.
Signs and tests
The diagnosis of SLE is based upon the presence of at least 4 out of 11 typical characteristics of the disease. The doctor will listen to your chest with a stethoscope. A sound called a heart friction rub or pleural friction rub may be heard. A neurological exam will also be performed.
There is no cure for SLE. Treatment is aimed at controlling symptoms. Your individual symptoms determine your treatment.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome for people with SLE has improved in recent years. Many people with SLE have mild illness. Women with SLE who become pregnant are often able to carry safely to term and deliver a normal infant, as long as they do not have severe kidney or heart disease and the SLE is being treated appropriately.

I do not conceal the fact that I love dessert. I believe that it is something that I deserve, a reward for working out that morning, keeping my blood sugar in check, monitoring my carbohydrate intake, going to work, and taking care of household duties.
After a long day, my husband and I put the baby to bed, curl up on the couch, and flip on one of our television shows. Then, predictably, I ask, "Do you want anything?" He responds, "Like what?" I shrug. He smiles. Both of us know what's coming next.
I get off the couch, head to the kitchen, and begin to pull out the staples: ice cream, two brownies or cookies, and occasionally some nuts, chocolate sauce, or a banana. I set two small glass bowls on the counter and proceed to create parfaits.
I place the warmed chocolate baked good at the bottom of each bowl and then layer on scoops of ice cream. I drizzle on the sauce or sprinkle banana slices or nuts on top and then carry the bowls into the living room, where my husband eagerly waits to see what small variation of our favorite dessert will land in his hands.
I make these evening parfaits as healthy as a dessert can possibly be: all natural ice cream, homemade cookies or brownies, and added protein or fruit. But the fact of the matter is, dessert is still dessert, and this nightly ritual has long been a barrier to good blood sugar control.
I did try a few solutions. First, I shrank our portion size, moving from small bowls to extra small bowls. Second, I tried splitting a parfait with my husband, but the layers were piled so high that they would fall out of the bowl and onto the couch. Third, I tried eating dessert only every other night, but then I ended up craving more sweets throughout the following day. I even seriously contemplated giving up parfaits for Lent. Rather than seeking spiritual insight, however, I was kidding myself that a religious ritual would somehow cure my ice cream addiction.
Finally, bravely and with mounting reservation and resistance, I decided to stop buying ice cream until our vacation, which was a few weeks away. I reminded myself that according to weight loss experts, if it's not in our home, we won't be tempted to eat it. Sure.
I know a few things to be true when it comes to craving sweets. First, eating excessive sugar leads to more intense sugar cravings. Second, on the flipside, ignoring a sugar craving leads to even more sugar consumption. Later, when the temptation is so overpowering and has festered for hours or days, one ends up consuming far more than just a single candy bar or a few cookies. Third, over-consumption of sugar isn't healthy for anyone, and it's obviously a nightmare for those of us with diabetes.
People with diabetes are always lectured by professionals on the importance of "balance" and "control." These are the holy grails of a healthy life with diabetes, and they are seemingly impossible for many of us. We are surrounded by people making bad (but oh so tasty!) choices and advertisements promoting unhealthy foods. To top it off, we are fighting the strongest warrior of them all, ourselves.
After nearly four years with this disease, I am recognizing the importance of small everyday changes. Many of my attempts to change fail, but a few of them lead to success. And those changes make a difference. My last A1c dropped by 0.2%. That is a victory to me, and I'm encouraged to keep trying.
I have accepted that I will never master diabetes, for it never ceases to throw me a new curveball just when I think I've got it all figured out. Likewise, I may never break my addiction to a nightly bowl of gooey dessert. However, I can make one small change at a time, which will, hopefully, lead to a longer and healthier life.

Roberts, Carter win Mac school board seats
May 21, 2013
News-Register Staff
Incumbent Tim Roberts won re-election to the McMinnville School Board in Tuesday's school and fire board election. He will be joined by Barbara Carter, a retired teaching assistant, who won a three-way race for a vacant seat.
Ryan Jones won a contested race for a seat on the Amity School Board and Terry Chrisman defeated a challenger for a spot on the Sheridan School Board, according to results from the Yamhill and Polk county clerks' offices. In Newberg, incumbent Todd Thomas won the race for the Zone 4 position.
In returns in the McMinnville School District, Roberts had 2,595 votes to challenger Bill Bordeaux's 2,185, or 54.3 percent to 45.7 percent. Carter led with 2,685 votes, or 55.5 percent, in a three-way race with Robin Swenson, 1,105 votes or 22.9 percent, and Nicholas Scyoc, with 1,0452 votes or 21.6percent.
In Amity, Yamhill and Polk county voters gave Jones 545 votes, or 63.6 percent. Challenger Trish Stephens had 312, or 36.4 percent, in the combined count of the two counties.
In Sheridan, Chrisman had 337 votes, or 62.6 percent, in the combined count of Yamhill and Polk counties. Muriel Ablard received 201, or 37.4 percent.
In Newberg, Thomas had 1,755 votes, or 53 percent, to challenger James Gleason's 1,553, or 47 percent.
In most districts, only one candidate filed for each seat. They were re-elected handily.
A few seats on fire boards will be filled by write-in. The clerk's office will count the write-in ballots over the next several days.

The NCAA Men's and Women's Track and Field Committee is recommending additional padding for hard or unyielding surfaces in areas involving pole vault competitions effective with the 2011-12 academic year.
The committee, which met last Tuesday through Friday in Indianapolis, is in a non-rules change year, but it believes these measures need to be taken immediately because they directly affect student-athlete safety.
The proposals:
All rules changes must be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which next meets via conference call July 13.
"We discussed it to see what steps we could take to make this event safer," said committee chair Kim Duyst, associate athletics director at Cal State Stanislaus. "We are trying to be preventative in the name of student-athlete health and safety."
The committee also reviewed a proposal that would require all pole vault competitors to wear helmets (they currently are optional). After discussion, committee members decided to table the issue until more data on pole vault injuries are obtained.
Duyst cited a committee of divisional representatives that will meet with experts in the field and discuss the matter further with coaches associations. "We will have ongoing discussions regarding helmets," Duyst said.
After the death last year of Robert Zhonglie Yin, a Grinnell pole vault student-athlete, the NCAA hosted a meeting this spring that included representatives from the National Federation of State High School Associations, USA Track and Field and expert coaches in the sport.
Similar meetings took place after Kevin Dare, a Penn State track and field student-athlete, died in an accident at the 2002 Big Ten Indoor Track and Field Championships.
In 2002, the pit for pole vault was expanded by a new American Society for Testing Materials standard, reducing, but not eliminating injury. Since then, the number of injuries related to missing the pit both off the back and on the sides of the landing pad have declined.
However, research from the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research shows that pole vaulters remain at serious risk if they flip out of the pit and strike an unyielding surface or slide down the pole into the plant box. The track and field committee suggested the changes in the hope of mitigating those risks.
