Your Responsibility Code Nothing ruins a great day of fun as much as an accident that didn't have to happen. Ultimately, safe skiing and snowboarding on the mountain is each person's responsibility. Following "Your Responsibility Code" will help all skiers and snowboarders have a safer mountain experience.Skiing can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country, and other specialized ski equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in mountain activities that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Please note, violations of Your Responsibility Code, and the following additional rules, ordinances and/or guidelines may result in criminal prosecution, civil liability and/or loss of lift privileges without compensation or refund:Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers and boarders the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
This is a partial list. Be safety conscious. Officially endorsed by the National Ski Areas Association, National Ski Patrol, and Professional Ski Instructors of America. For more great skier and snowboarder safety information, visit the National Ski Area Association's Ski/Snowboard Safety site. http://www.nsaa.org/
Additional Rules at Snow Trails
Take it easy out there. Give people some space. Be safety conscious!Warning, violations of this code lead to loss of lift ticket without warning or refund. Ohio's safety in skiing law (ORC4169-08) specifies your responsibility as a skier. A summary of the code is available from the Information Desk. Be Aware. Ski with Care All fencing, poles, signage, and other marking devices are in place to inform you of potential hazards or obstacles. The markers will not protect you from injury, and it is your responsibility to stay away from marked areas. The use of helmets may reduce the risk of injury. Snowmaking and grooming activities are routinely in progress on slopes and trails. Use caution, ski in control and ski only on designated areas. Be aware of changing conditions; natural and man-made obstacles exist. "Your Responsibility Code" is posted also in the Lodge and at the base of the slopes. You are advised to familiarize yourself with the content of the code so as to become more aware of the elements of risk involved in the sport of skiing. Please observe all signs posted!
Have a Great and Safe Freestyle Day Freestyle terrain may include half-pipes, as well as terrain park features. They are provided for your enjoyment and offer adventure, challenge, and fun. However, freestyle terrain, like all skiing and riding, exposes you to risk of serious injury. Prior to using freestyle terrain, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with all instructions and warnings and to follow "Your Responsibility Code".
Smart Style
Please Help Make Safety a Top Priority Take off those foggy goggles and read this: Skiing in its various forms, including the use of snowboards and snow skates, is a dangerous sport with inherent risks. The risks include loading, riding, and unloading from ski lifts, variations in the snow, steepness and terrain, ice, moguls, rocks, trees, and other forms of forest growth and debris (above or below the surface), bare spots, lift towers, utility lines and poles, fencing, snowmaking and snowgrooming equipment, and other forms of natural or man-made obstacles or other skiers.
Trail conditions vary constantly due to weather changes and skier use. Inherent in the sport is the risk of permanent, catastrophic injury or death. Accepting these risks is a part of the challenge of man against the mountain and elements. In consideration of using Snow Trails? facilities, the user agrees to accept the risk of skiing, agrees that skiing is hazardous, voluntarily assumes the risk of injury while participating in this sport, and agrees not to sue Snow Trails or its employees if hurt while using the ski facilities regardless of any negligence of Snow Trails or its employees or agents. To enjoy skiing, you must also know and be willing to accept the limits of your ability. Skiing challenges your physical condition and may cause stress. You will reduce the risk of injury and enjoy skiing more if you are in good physical condition. The user must report all injuries before leaving Snow Trails. If you do not agree with the above, then do not use the facilities at our ski area.

Intuitions that are available only to a few exceptional individuals are often called creative. Like other intuitions, creative ones are based on finding valid patterns in memory, a task that some people perform much better than others. Widely-shared patterns of associations exist and are recognizable, although few can find them without prompting.
What makes a grandmaster in chess is the ability rapidly identify the most promising moves. While this simple explanation belies the complexity of this skill, it is only when sparring against mediocre chess players that this becomes evident. The novice might still be considering the best move while the grandmaster will have already identified the dynamics of complex positions available. The ability to judge whether a move is promising or fruitless is, then, the work of a master.
Chess masters acquire a repertoire of 50,000 to 100,000 immediately recognizable patterns. Strong players need a decade of serious play to assemble a rich repertoire of identifying good moves without excessive calculations of outcomes. Intuition is, simply put, the recognition of patterns stored in memory.
Compare with fire-ground commanders, required to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty and time pressure that preclude any orderly effort to generate and evaluate sets of options. The commanders tend to work on a single option, the only one needed. Their procedure is to draw on the repertoire of patterns that they have compiled during more than a decade of both real and virtual experiences, and identify a plausible option. Once the option is simulated and deemed the right fit for the situation, they implement it. If it is found to have shortcomings, they modify it, and repeat the process until an acceptable course of action is found.
This strategy is effective because it took advantage of the tacit knowledge of each commander. Fire ground commanders are able to draw on their repertoire to anticipate how flames will spread through a building, to notice signs that a house is likely to collapse, to judge when to call for additional support, and to make many other critical decisions.
In assessing candidates for officer training, field tests and other observations are used, including a personal interview. The assessors describe the powerful sense of getting to know each candidate and the accompanying conviction that they can foretell how well the candidate will do in further training and, ultimately, in combat. The subjective conviction of understanding each case in isolation is not diminished by the statistical feedback from officer training school, which indicates that the validity of the assessments is negligible. Faulty statistical intuitions survive both formal training and actual experience. Many studies in the intervening decades have confirmed the persistence of a diverse set of intuitive errors in the judgments of some professionals.
So intuitive judgments can arise from genuine skill but they can also arise from inappropriate application of heuristic processes.
True experts, it is said, know when they don't know. Skilled judges are often unaware of the cues that guide them, and individuals whose intuitions are not skilled are even less likely to know where their judgments come from. However, non-experts (whether or not they think they are) certainly do not know when they don't know. Subjective confidence is an unreliable indication of the validity of intuitive judgments and decisions.
Intuitive judgment can be trusted in cases of stable relationships between objectively identifiable cues and subsequent events. The other necessary condition is adequate opportunity for learning about the environment. If an environment provides valid cues and good feedback, skill and expert intuition will eventually develop in individuals of sufficient talent.
Medicine and fire fighting are environments where intuitive judgment of experts must be trusted. Expertise was also found in livestock judges, astronomers, test pilots, soil judges, chess masters, physicists, mathematicians, accountants, grain inspectors, photo interpreters, and insurance analysts. Stock price predictions and term forecasts of political events are practiced in examples of environments where intuitive judgment of "experts" cannot be trusted. Poor performance was also found in clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, college admissions officers, court judges, personnel selectors, and intelligence analysts.
Expert intuition is also possible in environment of high uncertainty. Poker and warfare are examples. The best moves in such situations reliably increase the probability for success.
Although intuitive judgment cannot develop in irregular or unpredictable environments, individuals will sometimes make judgments and decisions that are successful by chance. These lucky individuals might be susceptible to an illusion of skill and to overconfidence. They rely on heuristics that are false.
People sometimes have subjectively compelling intuitions even when they lack true skill, because the environment is stable or because they have not mastered it. Lewis described the weaknesses in the ability of baseball scouts and managers to judge the capabilities, contributions, and potential of players. Despite opportunities to acquire judgment skills, scouts and managers were often insensitive to important variables and overly influenced by such factors as the player's appearance—a clear case of prediction by representation.
Subjective intuition can also result from biases: biases based on non-representative experience, incomplete memory, attribute substitution, reliance on representativeness, etc. "Anchoring" is one specific case in which a memory bias can cause intuitions to go astray. For instance, look at the difference in answers to the following two questions: "Is the average price of German cars more or less than $50,000?" versus "Is the average cost of German cars is more or less than $30,000?"
The so-called Pre-Mortem Method can reduce overconfidence and improve decisions. Teams using this method start by describing their plan. Next, they imagine that their plan has failed and the project has been a disaster. Their task is to write down all the reasons why the project failed. Each team member goes around the table and will tell their reasons, starting with the leader. The rationale for the method is that people can generate more criticisms when they are told that an outcome is certain. It also offers a solution to one of the major problems of decision-making within organizations: the gradual suppression of dissenting opinions, doubts, and objections, as are typically observed when an organization commits itself to a major plan.
Professionals who have expertise in some tasks are sometimes called upon to make judgments in areas in which they have no real skill. Three professions—nurses, physicians, and auditors—exhibit genuine expertise in some of their activities but not in others. For example, auditors who have expertise in "hard" data, such as accounts receivable, may do much less well with "soft" data, such as indications of fraud. The ability to recognize that a situation is anomalous and poses a novel challenge is one of the manifestations of authentic expertise. Descriptions of diagnostic thinking in medicine emphasize the intuitive ability of some physicians to realize that the characteristics of a case do not fit into any familiar category and call for a deliberate search for the true diagnosis.
Weather forecasters, engineers, and logistics specialists typically resist requests to make judgments about matters that fall outside their area of competence. People in professions marked by standard methods, clear feedback, and direct consequences for error appear to appreciate the boundaries of their expertise. These experts know more knowledgeable experts exist. Structural engineers know that there's times when chemical engineers, or even structural engineers working with different types of models or materials, are the rightful experts to be consulted.
Intuitions that originate in heuristics are not necessarily wrong and are quite useful, but sometimes they lead to severe and systematic errors. Heuristics are simply less trustworthy than intuitions that have been rooted in specific experiences. Unfortunately, people are not normally aware of the origins of the thoughts that come to their minds. Subjective confidence is often determined by the internal consistency of the information on which a judgment is based, rather than by the quality of that information. As a result, evidence that is both redundant and flimsy tends to produce judgments that are held with too much confidence. These judgments will be presented too assertively to others and are likely to be believed more than they deserve to be. The safe way to evaluate the probable accuracy of a judgment is by considering whether the environment in which the judgment is made is predictable as well as the judge's history of learning the rules of that environment.
In case of weak regularities, algorithms sometimes do better than chance. These algorithms only achieve limited accuracy, but they outperform humans because of their advantage of consistency. Algorithms significantly outperform humans under two quite different conditions. The first is when the predictability of the environment is so low that detecting weak regularities and maintaining consistency of judgment are critical; the second is in highly predictable environments, where occasional lapses of attention can cause humans to fail. Automatic transportation systems in airports are an example in that class.
The evaluation and approval of personal loans by loan officers is an example in which algorithms should be used to replace human judgment. Identifying the relatively small number of defaulting loans is a low-validity task because of the low base rate of the critical outcome. Algorithms have largely replaced humans in this task, using as inputs objective demographic and personal data rather than subjective impression of reliability. The result is an unequivocal improvement: We have fairer loan judgments (i.e., judgments that are not improperly influenced by gender or race), faster decisions, and reduced expenses.
Alexander Koto, a Soviet grandmaster of the past century, once said that, "." In other words, "." (Anatoly Karpov) To balance that speed and exactitude for the moment of need is a muscle to train, stretch, and continue to the develop throughout life.

Agreed. It is a European thing to achieve the protein content that is virtually the same in American all-purpose flour.
Is it possible to put the cookie dough in the freezer for a few hours and then bake it? My friend and I are impatient and want to eat them the same day, haha.
I really want to try their ice cream sandwiches (they're massive!). I have an idea… why don't you make your own ice cream and duplicate that one too?! =)
LOVING the look of these cookies, can't wait until I get home to try this recipe! However, what is the purpose of the sea salt? I like to keep the sodium count down in my diet. Does it really make a difference?
@Michelle: The sea salt adds an amazing texture and flavor when paired with the sweet chocolate – I promise it's worth indulging just once!
@Joe: You're quite welcome! Happy 4th!
@Bethany: I was thinking of the word more along the lines of "so good it's almost bad" or some kind of ~sinful indulgence~ – the word can definitely change its meaning with the right context!
@Jen: I usually put my cookies in Tupperware and then use some plastic wrap as cushioning so that they cookies don't get knocked around too much, and then sometimes I put a slice of bread in there so that they stay soft and don't get stale, but I don't think you'll have that problem in the summer.
@Henry: Stay strong! 😉
These look great! Mine are in the fridge right now! Making them for my 4th of July party! Thank you.
As someone who is an avid baker but who failed miserably at CCCs, these are my go-to recipe now!

Meaningful consent is an essential element of Canadian private sector privacy legislation. Under privacy laws, organizations are generally required to obtain meaningful consent for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. However, advances in technology and the use of lengthy, legalistic privacy policies have too often served to make the control – and personal autonomy – that should be enabled by consent nothing more than illusory. Consent should remain central, but it is necessary to breathe life into the ways in which it is obtained.
Building on previous publications examining the current state of consent, including challenges and potential solutions Footnote 1 , this document sets out practical and actionable guidance regarding what organizations should do to ensure that they obtain meaningful consent.
This document is being jointly issued by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada ("

MSI Gaming N780 TF 3GD5/OC GeForce GTX 780 Review
MSI Gaming N780 TF 3GD5/OC GeForce GTX 780 Introduction:
The GTX 780 brought another layer of performance to the high end gamers while fleshing out NVIDIA's GTX performance stack with a card that clearly set the bar high for AMD with its next launch. Price wise it came in at about $350 less than the fastest single GPU card out, the GTX Titan, with performance that came very close to matching that of the GTX Titan. When the GTX 770 launched, NVIDIA's partners, MSI included, were set and ready to deliver in-house built products using their exclusive design philosophies. The result of that launch for MSI was the Gaming series N770 TF 2GD5/OC GTX 770. With the GTX 780, MSI had a small lag in that availability but soon after launched the card I am looking at today: the Gaming N780 TF 3GD5/OC GeForce GTX 780.
Packed full of MSI's best design philosophies and tools, the Gaming series GTX 780 features Military Class IV build components that meet MIL-STD-810G. You get Tantalum core Hi-C caps, new SFC Chokes, solid aluminum core capacitors, and MSI's own revised Twin Frozr IV cooling solution. Along with the build components, MSI raises the base core clock and GPU 2.0 Boost clocks to 954MHz/1006MHz, respectively, for added gaming performance out of the box. Included in this package is MSI's Afterburner overclocking and tuning utility that comes with Predator, a screen capture and recording utility that adds value by saving you a few bucks. For its Gaming series GPUs, MSI has put together a much simpler utility for the masses that prefer the install and go mindset. Called Gaming App, this utility lets the user flip between three modes without having to know what settings to change. Sweet and simple.
So where does all this feed into and what does it mean? MSI has put a focus on the gamer with its "G.A.M.E." spirit. Priced right at just $20 over the reference version's $649, it includes the game Splinter Cell: Blacklist again as an added value. Let's see if the philosophy holds up under some gaming tests to see if MSI has brought enough to the table.
MSI Gaming N780 TF 3GD5/OC GeForce GTX 780 Closer Look:
MSI has gone through a dramatic shift in its messaging to the consumer. The graphics on the packaging illustrate this and set MSI apart from its competitors on store shelves. The front panel features a large tribal dragon that represents MSI's Game Spirit philosophy. At the bottom right an icon shows that this is a factory overclocked model of the MSI GTX 780. At the top right is the Gaming series logo that lets you know this card is equipped with an extensive set of features, including MSI's Twin Frozr IV cooling solution. The back panel goes into detail on the Gaming specific feature set, including MSI's own Gaming App, Military Class IV technology, the Twin Frozr advanced cooling solution, and NVIDIA-specific feature set.
Inside the sleeve is a black box that carries the dark theme through to the internal packaging. Inside are two levels; one that holds the accessory bundle documentation and hardware, while the lower level holds the card deep in an open cell foam cushion. The accessory bundle that comes with the MSI N780 TF 3GD5/OC includes a quick installation guide, driver and utility disk, 6-pin to 8-pin PEG connector, and a dual 4-pin molex to 6-pin PEG connector. A pretty slim bundle, but with a card like this you most likely are not going to need adapters for your monitor(s) or even use the power adapters.
Packaging, check; bundle, check; card, nope not yet. After looking at the GTX 770 Gaming I found that MSI put together an excellent card that runs cool and overclocks well based on the design of the card. Let's dig into what MSI has put together with the N780 TF 3GD5/OC.

Skiing accident sidelines Miguel Angel Jimenez
MADRID Spanish golfer Miguel Angel Jimenez broke his right shinbone and will be sidelined for up to five months.
Jimenez said in a statement Sunday that he had surgery on his leg after injuring it while skiing Saturday.
Jimenez said, I was playing well, but you have to take life as it comes.

In November, the 48-year-old Jimenez became the oldest European Tour winner by capturing his third Hong Kong Open title. He has 19 career European Tour titles.
League, players association to resume talks today
NEW YORK The NHL and the players association are ready to get back to the bargaining table.
There were no formal negotiations Sunday, but all signs pointed to talks on Monday in an effort to end the lockout and save the season.
There will be no further face-to-face meetings today, the union said in a statement Sunday. The plan is for the sides to meet (Monday). Those would be the first negotiations since the sides met with a federal mediator Dec. 13.
The league and the union had informational discussions by conference call and in meetings with staff members that lasted much of Saturday and concluded Sunday. Those talks were spurred by the nearly 300-page contract proposal the NHL presented to the union Thursday.
All games through Jan. 14 have been canceled, claiming more than 50 percent of the original schedule. The NHL wants to reach a deal by Jan. 11 and open the season Jan. 19, with a 48-game schedule.
Bargaining sessions with only the NHL and union havent been held since Dec. 6, when talks abruptly ended after the players association made a counterproposal to the leagues previous offer.
U.S. juniors face elimination today in world tournament
UFA, Russia Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Ryan Strome scored in the first period, and Canada beat the United States 2-1 to advance to the next round at the junior ice hockey world championships.
Jacob Trouba scored for the U.S.
The Americans need to beat Slovakia today in Group B to move on.
Canada will face Russia on Monday to determine which team gets a bye into the semifinals.
The 19-year-old Nugent-Hopkins was the first pick of the 2011 NHL draft by Edmonton. The center had 52 points in 62 games for the Oilers last season.
Slovakia stayed alive by beating Germany 2-1 on an overtime power-play goal by Peter Ceresnak.
In Group A, Finland beat Switzerland 5-4 on a shootout goal by Markus Granlund, who also scored twice in regulation. The Czech Republic defeated Latvia 4-2.
Serena opens new season just like she ended last one
BRISBANE, Australia Serena Williams joked that since the calendar still read 2012, she needed to maintain this years dominant form.
The 15-time Grand Slam champion opened her 2013 season Sunday, and Williams needed less than an hour to beat fellow American Varvara Lepchenko 6-2, 6-1 in the first round of the Brisbane International.
Williams won 31 of her last 32 matches during the 2012 season, including titles at Wimbledon, the Olympics, the U.S. Open and the WTA Championships. She was 58-4 overall.
The third-ranked Williams didnt show any signs of the minor surgery on her big toes that forced her to withdraw from an exhibition in Thailand. She moved freely throughout the match against the 21st-ranked Lepchenko.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - With a 7-1 lead after two innings of play, the Tennessee Tech baseball team looked well on its way to a win over in-state rival Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders had other plans, however, scoring eight runs over the final six innings to complete the come-from-behind win over the Golden Eagles, 9-7.
Tech jumped out to a quick two-run lead in the contest off a two-run shot from junior Zach Stephens. It marked the first home run of the season for Stephens, who finished one-for-two in the contest, drawing three walks and just missing a second long ball when a towering shot fell in the outfielder's glove at the wall.
Senior James Abraham followed Stephens with a triple off the right field wall. He was driven in with a double from the next batter, right fielder Michael Morris, that hit the gap in right center field. Shortstop Dylan Bosheers singled up the middle to bring Morris in and the Golden Eagles left the first inning with a solid 4-0 start.
After surrendering one run in the top of the second, Tech's offense jumped again, this time with two outs. With catcher Jordan Parris already on first after being hit by a pitch, Stephens and junior Brandon Thomasson, and Abraham all drew walks, bringing in a run. Morris bashed his second double of the game, a laser that just missed leaving the park, hitting the left center field wall near the top. The hit drove in two more runs as Tech finished the second inning with a 7-1 lead.
Middle Tennessee's pitchers took over from there, allowing just three more hits. Aaron Hyder, Jordan Cooper, Garrett Ring, and Paul Mittura combined to shut down the Golden Eagle bats for the rest of the contest, gathering eight strikeouts over the final seven innings.
Cooper picked up his first win of the season for the Blue Raiders, pitching 3.2 innings. Mittura earned his fourth save of the year, retiring two batters in the ninth inning to finalize the comeback for Middle Tennessee.
Making his first career start in the contest was Golden Eagle sophomore Byron Skinner. Skinner pitched 3.1 innings, allowing just two earned runs and four hits along the way. Also making appearances for Tech were Ross Spurgeon, Josh Bryant, Zane Morton, Stanton Taylor, and Andy Williams. Morton was pegged with the loss after gathering his first win of the year on Sunday.
Blue Raider catcher Michael Adkins had a career-day at the plate, going four-for-four with a walk and an RBI.
Morris led the Golden Eagles, collecting three hits in four at-bats. He drove in a season-high three runners and also gathered a walk and scored a run.
The Tech baseball team will return to the diamond for a three-game series against the Bowling Green State Falcons beginning Friday. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. CST at Bush Stadium at the Averitt Express Baseball Complex.

Marie Foshee waits up in her Bayou Blue living room every night, half expecting her only son to walk through the door. It's been nearly three months since Bubba left treatment and died from a heroin overdose, and she still can't understand it.
"They call husbands that lose their wives 'widowers,' children that lose their parents, 'orphans,' " she said last week. "But what do they call parents that lose their children? Nothing. Because it's not supposed to be."
John Foshee, nicknamed "Bubba," overdosed Sept. 18 after a friend injected him with two doses heroin, the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office said. The 27-year-old died shortly afterward on his couch.
It's the kind of tragedy police and social service workers see more frequently in Terrebonne and Lafourche, where heroin overdoses, though still a relative few, killed more residents this year than ever, coroner's offices in both parishes say.
Foshee was one of 18 people in Terrebonne who died from drug overdoses this year, Coroner's Office Chief Investigator Danny Theriot said. Four were due to heroin, and Theriot said he suspects three more deaths pending lab results also involved the drug.
Of the 15 overdoses last year, only one person died using heroin, he said.
In Lafourche, 14 people died of drug overdoses this year, up from 11 in 2012, Lafourche Parish Coroner's Office Chief Investigator Mark Goldman said. Though he did not have an exact count, he said more of those deaths resulted from heroin than in prior years.
Arrests are also up. In Terrebonne, the Sheriff's Office has recorded 20 heroin-related arrests in 2013, almost twice as many as last year.Type your paragraph here.Both injected and snorted, heroin's stigma has declined among its users as the drug has strengthened while becoming less expensive, typically $10 to $20 for a single dose, local authorities said. The drug draws addicts frustrated by new regulations on prescription pills, especially powerful painkillers like oxycodone. Pills have undergone formula changes that have made them less potent and harder to crush, factors that blunt the immediate and powerful high abusers want. Heroin produces a similar immediate high but is cheaper and more available.
"The problem with the heroin overdoses is that it's so potent," Goldman said. "It's not cut; it's pure."
A social stigma the drug earned in the 1980s and 1990s has all but vanished, Brett Matherne, clinical director at New Start Recovery Addiction Wellness Center in Houma. "There's no fear with it," said Matherne, a licensed addiction counselor. "It's scared the hell out of me. I've had a lot of close calls with clients almost dying recently."
In the past, many heroin users were "very embarrassed" by their addictions, he said.
"Now," Matherne said, "it's no big deal."
The dreamy, warm high ignites "this euphoric feeling in the brain," he said. "Their brain never really forgets how good it was."
It's the most frequent addiction Matherne and other experts in the field say they see.
"I would say probably about 80 to 85 percent of our calls have heroin and opiates and pain pills," Matherne said.
Terrebonne Drug Court Treatment Director Clarence McGuire Jr. has seen a similar movement in his work counseling addicts convicted of felony drug use.
"Most of our clients in the last year-and-a-half are coming in with their primary drug being heroin," he said.
Drug users start younger and move to the drug faster, Matherne said.
"They're going from straight from marijuana to pills to heroin within a year," Matherne said. "They're moving quicker into their hard-core additions faster than ever."
Over the past two months, Matherne said he has sent six teens to inpatient therapy for severe heroin addiction treatment. But no such centers operate locally; addicts must travel to larger cities to received specialized, long-term care. Without insurance, stays can set addicts or their parents back between $9,000 and $20,000.
The drive and distance from home might make quitting drugs harder and returning to old habits easier, Marie Foshee said.
That's what happened with her son, she said. Bubba handed her a flower when he told her he'd quit drug rehabilitation in August.
"He brought me a big yellow rose," Marie said.
Bubba told his parents the program wasn't for him, and the couple nodded helplessly. Marie took the flower, and her son left. When the rose started to shrivel, she folded the double bloom in plastic wrap. She keeps it on her mantel beside his ashes.
A talented mechanic and welder, Bubba hid his struggle from his family.
"He was a good person, but the devil of the drug disease was more powerful than him," his mother said. "Drugs is what he did, not who he was."

Release Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging consumers to stop participating in a new type of water-related recreational activity, due to the potential risks of suffocation and drowning. The activity is called water walking and the water walking ball has numerous brand or ride names.
The fact that the product has no emergency exit and can be opened only by a person outside of the ball significantly heightens the risk of injury or death when a person inside the ball experiences distress. Pre-existing medical conditions, such as heart, lung, or breathing issues, can be made worse by use of this product.
An individual climbs into the large, see-through plastic ball; it is inflated with a blower through the zipper opening; and the zipper is closed, making the ball air-tight. The ball, with the person locked inside, then rolls around on a number of surfaces, including water, ice, or grass. The product is most commonly used by children and is used mainly as a ride in amusement parks, carnivals, malls, sporting events and other high-traffic areas. The product is also sold directly to the public for personal use.
Several states have banned or refused to provide permits for rides that use this product. CPSC is aware of two incidents involving this product. In one incident, a child was found unresponsive after being inside the ball for a very brief period of time, and emergency medical treatment was sought. In the second incident, a person inside of a ball suffered a fracture when the ball fell out of the shallow, above-ground pool onto the hard ground.
CPSC is warning consumers that there is a combination of risks associated with this product, including the potential for suffocation, as well as the potential for drowning and impact injuries. Because the ball is airtight, an inadequate air supply can result when oxygen is depleted and carbon dioxide accumulates inside the ball. Such a dangerous scenario can occur in as little as a few minutes. Because the water walking balls have no padding, impact injuries can occur if the balls collide with each other, or fall out of the pool onto concrete or other hard surfaces, such as ice or tile. These water walking balls are also being used on open water, creating the potential for injuries if the ball is struck by a boat or strikes a solid object, such as a buoy or pier. Additionally, the balls present a high risk of drowning if there is a leak or a puncture.
CPSC has informed state amusement ride officials of the risks associated with this product and encourages state officials not to permit this ride in their state. CPSC does not know of any safe way to use this product.
Risks associated with the use of water walking balls, a new type of water-related recreational activity,
include the potential for suffocation, drowning, and impact injuries.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

Sting says he's just getting started and he will be looking for Doc at Genesis. He is feeling frisky tonight and he brought some friends with him. Sting invites Aces & 8's to come get some. We get "Joe" chants from the crowd as he cuts a promo on the masked posse. Joe hands the mic to Angle who gets his own pop. Angle says they are going to expose all of Aces & 8's but tonight wants to expose someone else: he invites Mr. Anderson to the ring to come down and explain who's side he's on.
Anderson's music hits and he walks to ringside. Anderson asks where these guys were when Aces & 8's were tap-dancing on his face a few weeks ago. Angle says Anderson is either with them or they are going to fight. Anderson gets into the ring as Sting and Joe go to the corner and Angle and Anderson lock eyes in the middle of the ring. Anderson says he doesn't answer to Angle and he actually never liked him. Angle says the feeling is mutual and clocks Anderson and mounts him for more. Anderson ducks out of the ring and walks up the ramp. Angle yells that this is not over.

We see footage of Robbie T stealing the show at the 'Bro-Off' two weeks ago. Jesse attacks Robbie T from behind but quickly gets man-handled. Jesse tags Tara which brings Tessmacher in for a flurry. Tessmacher does the Stinkface to Tara and tags Robbie T which means Jesse has to come in also. Robbie T hits a massive powerbomb on Jesse for the win.

Roode tags Aries in and they lock up. Aries takes Hardy down but Hardy backs him into the corner and takes him down with a head-scissors. Roode comes in illegally and Hardy tags Storm for some double teaming. They also double team the legal man, Aries. Roode scolds Aries at ringside and they have a shoving match.
Back to action as Roode and Aries have taken over on Hardy and are working together. Aries fakes the sound of a tag and comes in behind the ref's back. Roode comes back in as they keep the pressure on Hardy. Aries wants Roode to watch what he does as he drops a corkscrew in the corner for 2. Aries drags Hardy's body to Roode and tags him. They continue to make quick tags as they compete against each other at the expense of Hardy. Hardy finally makes the hot tag to Storm who turns it up against both opponents. Storm hits a neckbreaker to Roode; Aries goes to break the cover and Storm sees him and gets up causing Aries to drop the elbow on Roode instead. Daniels & Kazarian come to the ring and pull Storm out and they scuffle on the floor. Hardy hits the Twist of Fate in the ring on Roode but Aries clocks him from behind with the World Title as the bell rings.
Roode and Aries continue to decimate Hardy in the ring. Aries and Roode fight over the title belt and try to pose with it.

- We go to the ring for Mr. Anderson's entrance. He comes to the ring and announces himself. Kurt Angle is out next.
Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Anderson
They circle each other and Anderson ducks out of the ring. Angle grabs a mic and asks when he turned into a b*tch. He tells Anderson to get his ugly ass in the ring. Earl Hebner tells Angle to watch his language under his breath. (Mike Knox) gets in the ring with a hammer and beats Angle from behind. Wes Briscoe, Garett Bischoff, and Samoa Joe run down as (Knox) escapes into the arms of his brothers. A stretcher is brought out and Angle is loaded on. Sting's music hits as Angle is being wheeled out and gets in the ring and challenges Knox one-on-one. Sting mentions him by name. Knox gets pumped up at ringside with his gang as we go to break.
- Knox slowly enters the ring with his hammer and Sting unloads on him with his bat. Hebner takes the weapons and the bell sounds.
Sting vs. Aces & 8's Knox
Knox comes back with shots to Sting and takes control. Sting rolls to the floor and Knox gives chase. Sting fights back and sends the big man into the steel steps three times. Sting delivers the Stinger Splash on the security rail and sends Knox back in. Sting hits a Splash to the back of the big man and hits a Scorpion Death Drop for the win.
Winner by pin: Sting
Sting grabs the hammer and hits Knox on his right hand. He goes to do it to the other one but Devon comes out with the rest of Aces & 8's and they have Brooke hostage. Devon tells Brooke to, "Shut up b*tch." Devon says this is their year and they will reign supreme. Bully Ray runs down with his chain and fights them off and rescues Brooke. Hogan comes on the stage with his arms crossed as we go to break.
- Hogan is now in the ring and says he guesses he's supposed to thank Bully for causing all this carnage. He says he doesn't believe him and he's not the man for his daughter. Bully tries to get Sting to talk some sense into Hogan but Hogan tells Sting this is between him and Bully. Bully tells Hogan he's crazy. Bully says all he's ever cared about is wrestling and it means everything to him. He never thought he would find something he loved more than pro-wrestling. He grabs Brooke's arm and says until Brooke came into his life. Bully says he doesn't know what to say and Hogan throws down his mic.
Bully says this has happened really quickly and begins to get choked up telling Brooke how he feels for her. Bully gets down on one knee as Hogan looks on in disbelief. Bully puts a ring on Brooke's finger and says he loves her and he wants her to marry him. Brooke shakes her head "Yes" and they kiss. Bully says he wants to do it next week. Hogan leaves in disgust as Brooke and Bully embrace and kiss in the ring. Hogan is seething on his way up the ramp. Bully glares at the camera as he holds Brooke in an ever-so-subtle heel-ish way as we go off the air.

Surry man died in Keene collision Thursday nightBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent

KEENE - The driver who veered into oncoming traffic and was killed in a crash on Route 12A Thursday night has been identified as a Surry man, police said Saturday.
Glenn M. Fassett, 37, of Surry was driving a 2009 Nissan Versa south on Route around 7:4 0 p.m. Thursday when the Nissan crossed the center line and struck a northbound 1993 Ford Explorer, driven by Kaanan H. Kain, 24, of Alstead.
Fassett died at the scene. Kain was taken to Cheshire Medical Center for treatment of injuries police described as not life-threatening. There were no passengers in either vehicle.
The case remains under investigation by Keene police's Collision Analysis Team. Witnesses or anyone with information about the crash are asked to call Sgt. Jason Short at 603-357-9813. Information also can be left anonymously at http://www.ci.keene.nh.us/departments/police/anonymous-crime-tips.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Shares of McDonald's (MCD – Free McDonald's Stock Report) fell slightly after the restaurant operator and Dow-30 component reported third-quarter results. Headline numbers were actually a bit better than we had expected, but investors appeared to take issue with other aspects of the release, including sales figures. Revenues climbed 2% from a year earlier, to $7.323 billion, just ahead of our $7.300 billion forecast (others on Wall Street had been looking for something closer to $7.340 billion, however). Likewise, earnings per share moved higher by 6% year over year, to $1.52, just a penny higher than our call. The respectable results were achieved against a macroeconomic backdrop that remained challenging. Growth in Asia is slowing, while consumers in the United States and Europe continue to keep a close eye on their spending. Global comparable-store sales rose 0.7% in July and 1.9% in August, helping comps advance 0.9% for the whole of the third quarter, versus a 1.9% gain in the same period last year. The consensus forecast had been for a 1.0% gain in third-quarter comps.
Earnings were hurt by a mix of headwinds and tailwinds. On the positive side, lower SG&A and company-operated restaurant expenses as a percentage of sales helped to drive a 103-basis-point improvement in the operating margin from a year earlier. A lower share count also aided the bottom line. On the other hand, the tax rate rose 58 basis points year over year, and unfavorable currency movements shaved about $0.01 a share from earnings.
Breaking things down by geography, the United States was the top performer, and same-store sales rose 0.7% on our shores. The top line was driven by classic menu items, the Monopoly promotion, and the introduction of Mighty Wings. In Europe, comps were up 0.2%, as solid results in the United Kingdom, Russia, and France were partially offset by some softness in Germany. The region comprised of Asia/Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa was the weak link, with comps down 1.4% in the interim, reflecting softness in major markets such as China, Japan, and Australia.
Going forward, we expect to see more of the same in the near term. The operating environment is apt to remain challenging, due to the factors noted above, as well as increased competition from rivals such as Wendy's and Burger King, minimal pricing power, and a mix shift toward less profitable menu items. Indeed, our near-term outlook hasn't changed much since our last full-page report went to press in late August. October comparable-store sales will likely be relatively flat, and up slightly for the whole of the fourth quarter. Our full-year 2013 earnings call remains steady at $5.60 a share, which would represent a 4% year-to-year gain.
Overall, we think these shares have appeal for conservative accounts with a focus on current income. True, the near-term operating environment will probably remain challenging, but management has done a good job of navigating these waters, in our view, a trend that should continue. Longer term, we believe that the company's strategy of improving the menu, modernizing restaurants, and expanding accessibility to the McDonald's brand will keep earnings moving ahead at a solid, mid-single-digit pace out to 2016-2018. Momentum investors can probably find more exciting options elsewhere, but this stock's above-average dividend yield (and well covered payments), below market Beta, and top marks for Safety and Price Stability make it a solid, if unglamorous, choice for risk-conscious investors.
About The Company:McDonald's is a quick service restaurant with 34,480 locations in 119 countries (as of December 31, 2012). The majority of the restaurants (over 80%) are operated by franchisees or affiliates. The company is best known for its hamburgers and French fries, but it now has a diverse menu that includes breakfast items and an array of coffee-based drinks.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

Already have it in my Xperia...
2. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Me too..posting this over it. Works much smoother and loads things like full facebook page along with chat and games just like on desktop.
I wish they added a bit more customizations though. Interface haven't changed at all.
But still, now it's the best browser overall. Maxthon browser comes in at second!

Why would I use Opera Mobile on an Android phone when Opera Mini does the same things but with a fuller experience? Unless I'm in a data crunch or a very poor (or slow) coverage area, anyway
I use Opera Mini and Skyfire myself
6. _idan_ (Posts: 10; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
You seem little clueless with this post.
It is Opera Mobile that gives full web experience and it is people with data crunch and poor/slow coverage that use Opera Mini due to higher compression and server side rendering.
4. LodeStar (Posts: 28; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
well i tested opera11 on htm5test and got 286, and with opera12 it scores a massive 354! damn! (desire HD)
5. JonBjSig (Posts: 176; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
And yet they still haven't added WebGL support for the desktop version of Opera.
This confuses me.
7. _idan_ (Posts: 10; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
lolz with this update i can play all facebook and google+ games without slowdown on sgs2. Not that i would want to cause i hate those , but its a first for mobile browser.
Seems i could have started G+ Hangout from browser if i had video chat add-on.

Sheriff-elect Chris Blair said Friday his transition team is quietly making preparations to take the reins from Sheriff Ed Dean after the new year.
Sheriff-elect Chris Blair reiterated Friday that there will be changes in personnel at the Sheriff's Office when he takes over in the new year but declined to say what those changes might be.
Blair, whose transition team is working toward an orderly handoff from Sheriff Ed Dean on Jan. 7, did say, however, that he is assembling a group of retired law enforcement officers to help evaluate the Sheriff's Office and recommend changes. Blair said they will come in and talk with employees to get their opinions about their divisions and the changes they would like to see.
But those changes won't occur immediately. Blair said he expects a period of "status quo" for 60 to 90 days after he takes office.
"I think the employees will be excited about it," Blair said about the evaluation process.
Blair, who spent more than 30 years in the Sheriff's Office before retiring, said he has spoken to several potential candidates within the community, who were "excited" about taking part in the evaluation.
"We want to be proactive, trying to stop crime before it happens. We want to get back to basic law enforcement, have some consistency with everything," said retired Maj. Tommy Bibb, a member of Blair's transition team who served under Blair in the department's Special Investigations Division.
Blair also said he has met with officials from several organizations, such as The Centers, Ocala Community Care, the county's budget office, and other local law enforcement officials and chiefs to get their feelings about the Sheriff's Office.
He also said that with technology improving every day, he wants to tap into that resource "to help them solve crimes."
"I want to see what's out there," he said.
The coming changes at the Sheriff's Office are no surprise. During his campaign against primary opponent Dan Kuhn and later against general election opponent Bernie DeCastro, Blair insisted that the department is top-heavy with commanders and promised to flatten the organizational structure in an effort to put more deputies on patrol.
Surrounded by his transition team members on Friday, Blair said that Dean and Dean's transition team have been "very cooperative and gracious." Blair's transition team includes Wyatt Earp, former head of Fleet Maintenance for the Marion County Sheriff's Office; Fred LaTorre, former chief of staff for the MCSO; and Don Maines, a retired Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent.
Blair said his primary goal is to "bring unity" to the agency.
Much of the work occupying the transition team at the moment is not very sexy, however. Blair and his advisers are taking inventory of everything at the Sheriff's Office — guns, cash, drugs and equipment — and checking it against Dean's lists to ensure everything is accounted for in the handoff from one administration to the next.
Bibb, who was assistant bureau chief in the Special Investigations Division under Blair, said Dean will sign off on the list before Blair takes over the next day.
"We've got to make sure that all the things the new sheriff accepts are all there," Bibb said.
Maj. Paul Laxton, one of the members of Dean's transition team, said Friday the two major components — the evidence section and capital property — are almost completed.
Blair won election following a wild campaign that saw him lose to Kuhn in the primary in August. But when Kuhn resigned over an extramarital affair with a local school principal, local Republican leaders selected Blair to take his place on the general election ballot. He went on to easily defeat DeCastro.
Blair may take office under a cloud of suspicion, however. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating him for a possible violation of state election law and is due to come out with its findings soon. State Attorney Bill Cervone in Gainesville will review the FDLE's findings and determine whether there was a criminal violation.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iran is not among the "first round" of nations invited to attend Syria peace talks in Switzerland later this month, a U.N. spokesman said.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon began sending out invitations Monday. U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq confirmed that Iran is not among them, but he added, "The secretary-general is in favor of inviting Iran."
Invitations to the talks are subject to approval by the "initiating states," Russia and the United States, Haq said. They approved the list at a Dec. 20 meeting with U.N. officials.
Haq did not name the other invitees, but the U.N. said they included Syrian and other international participants.
The United States and Russia have not yet agreed on Iran's role in the talks, but Haq says the United Nations hopes that can be resolved at a Jan. 13 meeting between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Kerry on Sunday told reporters that Iran could play a constructive role in finding a resolution to Syria's civil war, even if Tehran is not a full participant in the peace talks.
The U.S. has objected to Iran's participation because it hasn't publicly endorsed the principles from an earlier peace conference that called for a transitional government in Syria, and is backing militias, including the Iranian-allied Lebanese Hezbollah group that has aided the troops of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"If Iran doesn't support that, it's difficult to see how they are going to be a ministerial partner in the process," Kerry said. "Now could they contribute from the sidelines? Are there ways for them, conceivably, to weigh in? ... It may be that there are ways that that could happen," Kerry said.
About two dozen nations plan to send foreign ministers to a daylong gathering Jan. 22 at a Montreux hotel, with Ban presiding. Syria's warring factions have been invited.
The peace talks will start Jan. 24 at the U.N.'s headquarters in Geneva with meetings between Syrian President Bashar Assad's delegation and Syrian opposition groups. The meetings will be moderated by the U.N.-Arab League special envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi.
Assad's government has said the president will not surrender power and may run again in elections due later this year.
The death toll from Syria's 3-year-old civil war has been estimated at more than 100,000.

This story appears in the July 2012 issue of National Geographic magazine.
"Some things you learn best in calm," wrote author Willa Cather, scribe of the Great Plains, "and some in storm." She wasn't referring to the local weather, but she might as well have been. Each year the American heartland offers a graduate course in natural tumult. From March to October these flatlands play host to thousands of visible, violent storms. Meteorology and topography conspire to paint blusterous murals and apocalyptic tableaux.
When dry air from the Rockies slides over moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, the stage is set for a storm. The burst may expel rain and hail, thunder and lightning, wind and funnel. It may kill people and animals, destroy crops and property, flood roads and towns. (The National Weather Service reports scores of storm-related deaths every year. In 2011, says the insurance industry, U.S. thunderstorms caused some $26 billion in damage.) Yet a storm giveth too, delivering rain to parched fields, wind to inert turbines, lightning-produced nitrogen to nutrient-starved soil.
To document these awe-inspiring tempests, Mitch Dobrowner, a landscape photographer inspired by Ansel Adams and Minor White, teamed with renowned storm chaser Roger Hill, a witness to more than 600 tornadoes. Over the past three years, aided by mobile satellite data, radar imaging, and more, the pair have stalked some 45 weather systems over 16 states and 40,000 miles, sometimes driving 900 miles in a day to capture a moment. "With storms," says Dobrowner, "it's like shooting a sporting event. Things happen so quickly, I really have to adapt."
Working in black and white—"Color seems too everyday," he says—he looks especially for supercells, rarest and mightiest of thunderstorms. A classic one, says Hill, "is the most violent, prolific tornado-producing machine there is." Its recipe requires four ingredients: moisture, atmospheric instability, something to lift the air, and vertical wind shear to rotate the storm.
When those elements align, an erratic, uniquely structured storm appears. Powered by a strong, rotating updraft, a supercell can steer itself away from the prevailing wind, devour or destroy other squalls in its path, and dodge its own storm-extinguishing precipitation, staying alive for up to 12 hours.
Indeed, both Dobrowner and Hill see supercells as living things: born under the right conditions, gaining strength as they grow, changing shape and form, fighting for their life, eventually dying. Not that personifying them removes the danger. In the still wild West, says Hill, storms demand admiration and respect. "I feel honored to be shooting them," says Dobrowner. "If I'm going to go, let me go like this."

We recently did an activity that we called Color Clips. I just grabbed a few paint swatches from Walmart, cut out small rectangles, and used double stick tape to adhere them to some clothespins. LM and I then went from room to room looking for things that matched our clips. When we found something, we clipped the coordinating clip to the object. LM had a lot of fun with this one. Especially when he figured out that he could clip a few onto his shirt each time because of the various colors which it contained!

Over the holidays my daughter Eliana was home poring over an advance copy of General McChrystal's memoir, My Share of the Task, officially published this week. She found it absorbing and read it closely. On Monday she followed up with an interview of General McChrstyal. NRO has posted her column "McChrystal's Share of the Task." Her take on the book makes points I haven't seen made elsewhere. I want to take the liberty of highlighting Eliana's column for readers who may find the book or the subject of interest.
UPDATE: I see that the New York Times has posted the transcript of Michael Gordon's interview with General McChrystal, also well worth reading.

ZION, Ill. -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says it will update the public on decommissioning activities at the shuttered Zion Nuclear Power Station.
The NRC says the public is invited to ask questions at a Thursday evening meeting at the Illinois Beach Resort and Conference Center.
NRC staff members will address issues that include ensuring adequate decontamination of the site and the safe storage of spent nuclear fuel.
The Unit 1 reactor operated from 1973 to 1997, while Unit 2 operated from 1974 to 1996. The NRC requires that decommissioning be completed within 60 years of shutdown.
Decommissioning is being carried out by a private company called ZionSolutions under the oversight of the NRC. Former plant owner, Exelon Corp., transferred licensed ownership of the site to ZionSolutions in 2010.

Tuscarawas County Prosecutor Ryan Styer has announced that the Dover High School senior students who damaged New Philadelphia High School with toilet paper, window chalk and Vaseline on May 17, have made full restitution to the New Philadelphia City Schools District.
Seventeen recent Dover High School graduates will avoid criminal charges for vandalism at rival New Philadelphia High School in May if they perform 75 hours of community service and write a letter of apology. The teens paid a total of $10,293 for the damages.
Tuscarawas County Prosecutor Ryan Styer said Wednesday that the then-Dover High School seniors who used toilet paper, window chalk and Vaseline during the incident have made full restitution to the New Philadelphia City School District. Police were called to New Philadelphia High School at 2:07 a.m. May 17, but the teens were gone before officers arrived. An investigation determined who was involved.
Styer offered prosecutorial diversion to each student — agreeing not to pursue criminal or juvenile delinquency charges if each student performs 75 hours of community service and writes a letter of apology.
Seventeen students were part of the incident, but only 12 of them marked the windows that caused the bulk of the damage, he explained. Two of the teens were 17 years old, and the others were 18.
Attorneys for the teens said that restitution of $10,292.53 was paid in full Monday, and all 17 contributed equally.
On Wednesday, Styer presented one check from a lawyer's trust account to New Philadelphia schools.
"I'm glad that they were able to contribute equally to the restitution," Styer said, adding that he tells his own children and others that "when you run with the pack, you get credit for the kill. When you're part of a common enterprise, you're liable for all of the damage that is caused by that enterprise, regardless of your level of participation — when you drive the getaway car, you're on the hook for the robbery itself. That's what being an accomplice to a crime boils down to. I believe that these were crimes, but we're giving them the opportunity to avoid a criminal conviction that could stay with them for the rest of their lives."
Styer said that fifth-degree felony vandalism charges could have been filed, because there was more than $1,000 damage to government property.
"It would be overkill to prosecute these kids as felons, given the lack of criminal intent to cause permanent damage," Styer said.
A total of $10,293 in damage occurred when the students used art supplies to draw and write on a special, tinted window film installed earlier in May to increase safety in the high school and middle school. People inside can see out, but people can't see into the classroom from outside.
Styer said he talked with New Philadelphia Police Detective Capt. Shawn Nelson, as well as reviewing his "thorough report that included statements from all 17 kids involved." Styer also reviewed surveillance camera video, photos of the damage and documentation regarding repair costs.
In a letter to Nelson, Styer wrote: It "seems there is little dispute as to who did what. … While only 12 students marked the windows, causing the bulk of the damage, all 17 students were part of a common enterprise and accomplices of each other."
The prosecutor compared his approach to resolving the matter to a felony diversion program in the court system. If a person pleads guilty to a felony, he serves six months of probation and pays restitution.
"There isn't any version in place in the courts for misdemeanor charges, so I'm resolving this as prosecutorial diversion," he said.
He compared it to a case about this time a year ago in Newcomerstown involving "a senior prank that had gone very wrong." Village police learned that at least 15 students planned to spray paint the high school stadium.
"It turned out that they didn't have any paint — only toilet paper — when police caught them," Styer said. "However, many of them fled through the Tuscarawas River. It's only knee-deep there, but it was in the black of night. Police had to spend a lot of time and energy to make sure everyone was safe, so the students could have been charged with obstruction of justice for fleeing from police."
Those teens accepted the prosecutor's proposal to each serve eight hours of community service and avoid criminal prosecution. There wasn't any restitution because police intervened before any damage occurred.
He said that people who mention a 2005 case in New Philadelphia when students spray-painted school property and nearby homes aren't making a valid comparison. Those teens were charged with a fourth-degree misdemeanor and ordered by a judge to serve 35 hours of community service.
"In that case, there was criminal intent to cause permanent damage — I don't think that there was in the May incident," Styer said. "I am not unmindful that emotions run deep with this case. I have been careful to discuss this case with the interested parties and consider all views. It is not unusual in my job to be caught in the middle between some who feel I am too strict and some who feel I am not strict enough. Here, I think we have reached a good way to hold each student accountable, while at the same time recognizing that there are criminals who have engaged in worse behavior who serve less community service and receive court diversion for making full restitution."
He said that the Dover teens will not be charged, but given "the opportunity to earn diversion, if they do everything required of them."
If any of the teens doesn't satisfactorily complete the requirements, Styer said, he would consult with New Philadelphia Law Director Marvin Fete before pursuing appropriate criminal charges.
"I reserve the right to decide what the charges would be," he said. "Several could apply, from criminal trespass, criminal damaging or criminal mischief, all the way up to felony vandalism."
The deadline is the second week of September to complete the terms of the diversion.
"They have to be law-abiding — not charged or convicted of any crimes — to take advantage of this," Styer said.
In May, the Dover teens agreed to perform community service work for the Dover City Schools District to be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies.
"Making mistakes is a part of growing up," Dover Superintendent Bob Hamm said at the time. "These are good kids, who made a poor decision. Surely, we don't condone the activity. We're disappointed and wish it hadn't happened."

My son is almost 4 weeks old and we've been having problems from the start. I wasn't able to BF within the first hour of birth because of medications I was given, and I had been up for almost 48 hours prior to going into labor so I was pretty out of it by that point. He slept for almost the first 24 hours and it wasn't until pretty late in the day that a nurse finally told me that I should have been trying to nurse him every 2 hours to help bring my milk in. He was never able to latch on his own in the hospital so they gave me a nipple shield which I thought was a lifesaver and now I am regretting how long I used it (about a week and a half non stop). I've heard that it could have something to do with my low supply because the nipple doesn't get proper stimulation?
Well anyways I finally was able to wean him off the shield and haven't used it in about a week or so but he clamps down and it hurts really bad. Since birth he never really seemed satisfied so I nursed him 24/7 even for 5 hours straight 3 different times. He was STILL hungry. I went to a LC at my WIC office (she is an IBCLC but I can tell that her working at WIC doesn't give us the proper amount of time needed since she has so many appts. everyday) and thought his latch looked fine, thought the pain I was describing was normal (said it does take some getting used to), and overall thought everything was good until she weighed him and I fed him and she weighed him again. He had only taken 15 mLs in almost an hour! That week she sent me home with a pump (Medela Lactina Plus) and told me to do breast compressions while feeding him and if I had to give him a bottle since he was basically starving. She also told me not to let feedings go past 30-45 minutes(???) and to pump for 15 minutes after feeding 8x a day.
After that we got into a routine of me nursing him for 45 minutes to an hour (I couldn't bear cutting it down to 30 and I really wanted him to be satisfied with my milk) and him still screaming his head off every time so while I pumped my boyfriend would give him a bottle of formula because I wasn't able to pump much at first. We went back to see the LC a week later and weigh/feed/weigh and this time he only took 20 mLs. His latch was still bad, he was still clamping down and now he was just not interested in sucking possibly because of the bottle making it so easy for him. She sent us home with the same instructions, pump 8x a day but also told me to take Fenugreek and eat healthier. Also, she told me to not let him nurse more than 20-30 minutes because I needed to keep my sanity (WHAT?! my baby needs to EAT!)
We were in the same routine (feed 45-1 hour, and give 2 ounce bottle of formula and occasionally BM if I was able to pump enough) for the next week until we went in Wednesday and I told her I was really frustrated with the whole situation. ESPECIALLY his latch. We finally tried working on that but baby was just getting way too mad (he hates being messed with and she was trying to open his mouth wider) and that was causing him to clamp down even harder! But at this appt. he was able to take 30 mLs so there was SOME progress! I told her I thought his latch was getting worse because of the bottle use so she gave me a tube thing to put in a bottle of formula or BM so he can learn to keep sucking at the breast. That's where we are now and his latch isn't improving but at least we're not giving him bottles anymore.
I guess I'm just wanting to know if anyone has ever been in a similar situation and was able to exclusively breast feed because the LC told me that I might not ever be able to. I feel like a lot of her advice kinda goes against what everyone on here has been saying. Do you think his latch will just improve over time like she seems to think? He definitely creases my nipples to the point where they're white on the ends after a feeding. And how can I pump enough to only feed him BM? I admit it's hard to do the 8x a day because I'm living with other people but I never go below 6. I get around 5-6 ounces a day and that's not even close to enough. Please help, any info or even just support would be awesome. I'm constantly getting told to just quit and I really want this to work out someday!!
SO SORRY for the super long post but I'm so frustrated!!! I need help!

Crowns, Bridges, Dentures, Implants
I got dentures one year ago and have only worn them about 5 times, about 30 min each time. They gag me so bad I about throw up. Please help.
If you have had dentures in the past that did not "gag' you, it is likely that these new ones are just too long and need adjusted. If this is your first set, then it may take both time and also some adjustment by your dentist. If you cannot adapt, even after the dentures are adjusted, dental implants may be necessary to eliminate the problem.
Return to the dentist who made your dentures or seek care from a dental specialist called a Prosthodontist who should be able to figure out what is causing your problem.

All the flavors of your favorite enchiladas brought to life in a delicious slow-cooker soup! With shredded chicken, corn, cheddar cheese and sour cream in a spicy, creamy, green chile and tomato infused broth.
Like a lot of my Tex-mex soups this is delicious as is but made even better with toppings. Garnish with a little shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a slice of avocado and a handful of crushed tortilla chips to not only add interesting textures but take it over the top and make it a lot more fun to eat. Kids will love picking their own toppings.
The lovely thing about this is that your crock pot can do almost all the work. Your chicken will be fork tender after swimming in that spicy broth for hours making it a cinch to shred and toss back into the pot.
I take one extra step that some people might skip and that is to sauté the onion, bell pepper and garlic stove top before adding them in. This adds a depth of flavor that I would miss.
So, go ahead, dive headfirst into this steaming bowl of semi-spicy, homemade soup. I won't stop you. You can thank me later.
When you come up for air.
All the flavors of my favorite enchiladas brought to life in a delicious slow-cooker soup! With shredded chicken, corn, cheddar cheese and sour cream in a spicy, creamy, green chile and tomato infused broth.
- In a medium skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, peppers and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile to your crock-pot add the Ro-tel, chicken broth, chicken, corn, black beans (if using), chile powder, cumin, oregano and 1 teaspoon coarse salt or 1/2 teaspoon fine and about 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix in the cooked onions, peppers and garlic.
- Cook on high 3 - 4 hour or low 5 - 6. Remove the chicken breasts to a cutting board. Stir the cheese into the soup. Add the sour cream to a medium bowl and temper it so it doesn't curdle by mixing in a few ladles of the soup broth then mixing it into the soup.
- Shred the chicken or cut into bite-sized pieces and add back to the pot. Taste and season as needed. Cook 1/2 to 1 more hour on low heat.
- Serve garnished with more cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips and avocado.
