Citing an influx of property tax revenue, the Douglas County School Board is giving more money to its schools and staff. The board passed a resolution Sept. 3 that makes an additional $3 million available for staff salary increases and $1.5 million for students' education.
The raises will average 1 percent, and are "differentiated for performance," which means amounts will vary based on a teacher's evaluation rating and the market-based pay scale.
The money is on top of an average 2 percent teacher raise and an additional 2 percent in one-time bonuses already announced by the district in May. At that time, DCSD also committed to additional funding of $200 per student. The newly approved monies will add another $20 to $25 per student to that amount.
The added compensation means the most highly rated teachers may get a pay bump of as much as 9.5 percent, with all but 1 percent of that money a permanent salary increase.
DCSD also plans to boost pay for teachers whose salaries are below the market-based pay scale.
The decision to allocate additional funds is tied to an effort to make up for several years of salary freezes for teachers, and cuts to school budgets.
"The good news is because of several factors," DCSD board vice president Kevin Larsen said. "One is, the county's growing again. Property values are slightly up. Delinquencies are down. Receipts are up, and up in a sustainable way."
While the district hails the additional money as good news, some call it bad budgeting.
"I do think the timing of this board announcement was unfortunate," said Julie Keim, a school board candidate and certified professional accountant who has studied DCSD's budget. "Schools need to know their budgets before the beginning of the year to truly maximize opportunities for students.
"Also, it is interesting that the candidates for the school board election were just finalized the day that this was announced."
Four seats on the seven-member board are up for grabs in November.
Judi Reynolds, Keim's opponent, said the release of additional funds indicates a prudent approach to fiscal management.
"I think the way the board and district have chosen to do things over the last few years is they do not want to commit money they do not know they have," she said. "I am largely supportive of that. I agree it would be far better if we knew exactly what we had to spend on our kids and our teachers prior to the school year starting. (But) I don't want to see us committing ourselves to spend money we don't have."
The Douglas County School District made a similar announcement in September 2012, again citing higher-than-anticipated property tax revenue that allowed it to distribute an additional $125 per student to all its schools.
Under the current board's financial philosophy, Larsen said that may happen in future years as well.
"We're going to budget on the somewhat conservative side; I'm not apologizing for that," he said. "And when we close the books at the end of June, if there's ever a surprise, it'll be a pleasant one."
While the additional $20 to $25 per student is helpful, Larsen noted it isn't enough to have made a significant difference in schools' original fall budgets.
DCSD critics also fault a fund balance they believe is unnecessarily high. Credit-rating agency Fitch listed the district's unrestricted fund balance at $86.7 million in February 2013. Its unassigned fund balance, money not already tagged for other uses, is about $17 million, consistent with the board's 4-percent reserve policy.
The pay increases will begin showing up on teachers' paychecks in October, and will be retroactive to July 1.
They will be weighed against each teacher's placement on DCSD's new evaluation system, which categorizes an educator's teaching style on a range from "highly effective" to "ineffective." DCSD also considers where a teacher's salary falls on the market-based pay scale, which determines salary based on the difficulty of finding teachers for specific positions.

Recently I've discovered this project that has great ambitions:
arkOS is an open-source platform for securely self-hosting your online life.
Everything started from the founder Jacob Cook and the CitizenWeb Project he founded. It's designed to run on a Raspberry Pi – a super-low-cost single board computer – and ultimately will let users, even of the non-technical variety, run from within their homes email, social networking, storage and other services that are increasingly getting shunted out into the cloud, and so under the control of big companies.
So in short arkOS is a lightweight Linux-based operating system that runs on a Raspberry Pi.
It allows you to easily host your own website, email, "cloud" and more, all within arm's reach. It does this by interfacing with existing software and allowing the user to easily update and change settings with a graphical interface. No more need to depend on external cloud services, which can be insecure "walled gardens" that require you to give up control over your data.
arkOS will have several different components that come together to make a seamless self-hosting experience possible on your Raspberry Pi. Each of these components will work with each other out-of-the-box, allowing you to host your websites, email, social networking accounts, cloud services, and many other things from your arkOS node.

CJ Pony Parts offers dozens of parts allowing you to replace broken parts or to completely replace the tank and all its parts. Order today and starting saving on fuel soon!

Fuel Tank AreaWith gas prices as high as they are today, your Mustang gas tank contains an extremely valuable commodity. Therefore, you will likely want to make sure that your Mustang gas tank is in top working condition, so you aren't wasting any valuable fuel. While your Mustang fuel tank seems like a pretty simple product, there's plenty that can go wrong with it, especially in older Mustangs.
The biggest potential problem with a Mustang gas tank is rust and corrosion that can lead to leaking valuable fuel. Your Mustang fuel tank can also get damaged and dented from accidents or road debris, which reduces capacity and could damage the internal components that distribute fuel to your Mustang engine. Whether your Mustang gas tank is dented or corroded, though, you want to make sure you fix the problem, so your broken Mustang fuel tank isn't costing you any extra money in gas.
Typically, fixing problematic Mustang gas tanks requires replacement of the Mustang fuel tank, and may require replacement of the sending unit, filler hose, Mustang fuel lines and/or the hardware. To that end, there are many Mustang gas tank products available to fix your specific problem. For every Mustang from 1965 to 1997, CJ Pony Parts offers a replacement Mustang gas tank. For many classic Mustangs, there are several replacement Mustang fuel tank options, including standard tanks, premium tanks with a heavier rust coating, and stainless steel tanks.
CJ Pony Parts also offers any other part you might need for your Mustang gas tank, including Mustang fuel sending units, filler pipes, gaskets and hardware. Many of these parts are also bundled into easy to order kits, which include everything necessary to replace your Mustang fuel tank and completely upgrade your fuel system. Order online at the CJ Pony Parts website, or give our sales team a call to order over the phone.

Student Development Announces 2013 Summer Reading Book
First-year students will read "Tattoos on the Heart," by Gregory Boyle, S.J., a noted Jesuit and founder of Homeboy Industries.
A committee of faculty, students and staff have selected Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle, S.J., as the first-year summer reading book for the 2013-2014 academic year. Incoming first-year students of fall 2013 read the book as one of their first academic experiences at Saint Louis University.
The first-year summer reading program goals include providing a shared intellectual experience that prepares incoming students to engage in discussion on various levels on an ongoing basis; addressing questions and life issues being faced by incoming students; either implicitly or explicitly introducing students to academic life and the uniqueness of Jesuit higher education, reflective of the mission of Saint Louis University; and providing opportunities for incoming students to dialogue with each other, and faculty and staff.
Students will receive a copy of the book during SLU 101 summer orientation and will be asked to read the book over the summer prior to Welcome Week. During Welcome Week, they will participate in a program focusing on the theme of the book and they will also have the opportunity to interact in small group discussions led by University faculty and staff to discuss the reading. A call for faculty/staff discussion leaders will be announced in the spring. Anyone interested in becoming more involved in the first-year summer reading program is invited to become a book discussion leader. The goal is to bring the author to campus during the fall semester.
About the Book:
As a pastor working in a neighborhood with the highest concentration of murderous gang activity in Los Angeles, Gregory Boyle created an organization to provide jobs, job training and encouragement so that young people could work together and learn the mutual respect that comes from collaboration. Tattoos on the Heart is a breathtaking series of parables distilled from his twenty years in the barrio. Arranged by theme and filled with sparkling humor and glowing generosity, these essays offer a stirring look at how full readers lives could be if they could find the joy in loving others and in being loved unconditionally.
From giant, tattooed Cesar, shopping at JCPenney fresh out of prison, readers learn how to feel worthy of God's love. From ten-year-old Lula, readers learn the importance of being known and acknowledged. From Pedro, readers understand the kind of patience necessary to rescue someone from the darkness. In each chapter, readers benefit from Boyle's wonderful, hard-earned wisdom. Inspired by faith, but applicable to anyone trying to be good, these personal, unflinching stories are full of surprising revelations and observations of the community in which Boyle works and of the many lives he has helped save.
Erudite, down-to-earth, and utterly heartening, these essays about universal kinship and redemption are moving examples of the power of unconditional love in difficult times and the importance of fighting despair. With Boyle's guidance, everyone can recognize their own wounds in the broken lives and daunting struggles of the men and women in these parables and learn to find joy in all of the people around us. Tattoos on the Heart reminds readers that no life is less valuable than another.
Winner of the 2011 PEN Center USA Literary Award for Creative Nonfiction

Comments: Comments:I bought this stick for my 11 year old. He loved it! Said it was the greatest stick he's used so far. It's really light with a nice feel to it. He loved it for wrist shots and puck handling. Although, it didn't hold up well to slap shots, blocked shots, or to receiving passes. It cracked in the heal after a month-and-a-half and then broke. For this weekend he'll have to go back to his Bauer One95, but I'm gonna give Easton one more try. I ordered the Mako II Grip Jr. stick today. We'll see how it goes...

Skip to comments.Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck dead at 91
Posted on 12/05/2012 4:37:01 PM PST by Alaska Wolf
(Reuters) - Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck, whose choice of novel rhythms, classical structures and brilliant sidemen made him a towering figure in modern jazz, has died at the age of 91, his longtime manager and producer Russell Gloyd said on Wednesday.
Brubeck died of heart failure on Wednesday morning after he fell ill on his way to a regular medical exam at Norwalk Hospital, in Norwalk, Conn., a day short of his 92nd birthday, Gloyd said.
His Dave Brubeck Quartet put out one of the best selling jazz songs of all time: "Take Five," composed by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. Like many of the group's works, it had an unusual beat -- 5/4 time as opposed to the usual 4/4.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Take 5, Dave. RIP!
Brubeck and Desmond. It does not get better.
One of the all time greats of American music, and a UOP grad. RIP.
Thanks for the link; post. Condolences to Dave Brubeck's family and friends.
RIP famous CT resident. "Take Five!"
What is UOP? Thanks!

Definitely a 10. Beautiful teeth!
Well done. I attended a Brubeck concert in the 60s, but I was never a big fan of jazz.

I'll take a post to say "thanks for the great music, Mr. Brubeck!"
In fact, I'll take two posts.
No, three posts.
No, four posts.
What the heck...I'll take five.

So sad. Watched this today and am still impressed by the quality of these musicians.
Nice Donald Fagen (Steely Dan) reference. :)
I went into the Army in 1957 as a Rock & Roll fan, but after Basic, my advanced training put me in an outfit with mostly Joe College types.
It was one of those guys who put me onto progressive jazz, by introducing me to Brubeck and Desmond for openers, which led to Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan, Ella Fitzgerald, The Four Freshmen, Julie London, and many more I've forgotten. Great memories. Want to dig out my old vinyl albums!
Tniversity of the Pacific. Actually, it was probably College of the Pacific when he attended its music conservatory.
When I play practice golf now always have him on in earphones. Helps as the rhythms keep changing.

Our public dollars are well spent creating platforms on which private enterprise can prosper. With interest rates at nearly zero, low labor costs, and the construction industry with all its suppliers scrambling for work, we should be pouring stimulus dollars into our schools, roads, and bridges. We should be building a new energy grid and sending wireless technology into every corner of the land. These are the measures that will produce big returns for all Americans.
With the economy recovering slowly and our nation's roads and bridges crumbling, a new study from the San Francisco Federal Reserve found that making investments into infrastructure has substantial short- and medium-term benefits for the economy. Read their findings here or look below for a quick recap of the study and share your thoughts.

Henrico man still 'making flavor'
Retire (v.) - (1)To withdraw, as for rest or seclusion.
(2) To withdraw from one's occupation, business, office, or usual field of activity.
(3) To stop working.
No matter how a dictionary defines retirement, any self-respecting edition should mark the entry with an asterisk: Does not apply to Frank Daylor.
Retired a decade ago this month from Philip Morris USA, Daylor spent 34 years there "making flavors" — particularly for chewing gum. Those of a certain age may recall a few products he helped develop, both at PM and at his previous employer, Beechnut.
Remember Clark's Teaberry gum, a former PM product (and inspiration for the Teaberry Shuffle)? Or "Yipe Stripes," the striped gum by Beechnut?
"I tasted a lot of chewing gum!" Daylor says with a laugh now — but the years of tasting haven't stopped him from continuing to experiment with flavors.
He makes a mean egg nog for Christmas gatherings and whips up specialties like clam chowder for get-togethers with the PIGS. That's the Progressive Investment Gourmet Society, founded at St. Mary's Catholic Church in the late 1960s as a retirement program for the late pastor. Over the years, Daylor reports, members have broken even and more on their investments.
"But that's not the true focus," he emphasizes of the monthly meetings in members' homes. "It's really an eating and drinking society!"
A native of Fall River, Mass., Daylor grew up the youngest of five siblings in an extended-family household of grandparents, aunts and uncles.
While studying chemistry at Fordham, he reconnected with his future wife Joan, a high school classmate. (Coincidentally, Joan was also the daughter of a man who was drafted into World War I with Daylor's father in 1917.)
After his brief military stint and a few years in upstate New York, Frank and Joan settled in Henrico.
Their three children attended St. Mary's and other parochial schools, which led Daylor into one of his many volunteer careers: advocating for Catholic schools. Founder of the St. Mary's Parent-Teacher Organization, he went on to lead the area-wide federation of home-school associations and play numerous other supportive roles — including TV appearances on behalf of vouchers.
Meanwhile, he also served as one of the original Eucharistic ministers at St. Mary's Church and went on to become a lector, while Joan was the "guitar lady" and a volunteer for diocesan English as a Second Language programs.
Daylor speaks of his children John (a realtor and the father of his three grandchildren), Patricia (an optometrist), and Christine (a United Airlines employee) with obvious pride, and readily admits to a lack of foresight when it comes to career advice.
When John left a solid job with benefits and a steady income to go into real estate, for instance, his father remembers thinking the move was "crazy."
"I've never been so wrong in my life," Daylor says now, with a nod to his son's success.
A lifelong interest in football — which he admits he played in high school "without much notoriety" — got him involved in his sideline career as an official.
Even today, he can reel off names of standout players, coaches and teams he observed in the 1970s — from Barty Smith, a Freeman grad who went on to the pros, to Benedictine's Carroll Jarvis — and recall high school, college and minor league games he officiated from Kilmarnock to Emporia to Bluestone.
Not to mention recite a few stories.
Zebra tales
Racial tension was a constant at games in that era of desegregation, busing, and redistricting, and player complaints of namecalling and epithets were among the challenges facing a referee. But Daylor's favorite anecdotes recall the light·hearted incidents — such as the halftime when a janitor inadvertently locked in the Huguenot H.S. team.
Since the home team spent halftime in a facility near the field, it took everyone else awhile to figure out why Huguenot hadn't shown up for the second half. And Daylor says he couldn't resist teasing the freed-but-frustrated HHS coach: "You're late! That's gonna cost you 15!"
In another favorite memory, Daylor officiated a night game at Westover School between the Bon Air Bruins and the New River Marines from Camp Lejeune. When the contest ended in a tie, officials thought they were through; but to their dismay, the teams insisted on playing overtime and the game dragged on with no score.
"It's alleged," says Daylor, with a playful grin, "that after several possessions, one team [missed] a field goal, and I [signaled a score] and said, "Close enough! Seven-Eleven closes in five minutes!' "
Every third Wednesday of the month, Daylor joins approximately 70 or so other retired coaches, officials, principals and sportswriters for breakfast and a round of similar stories at a meeting of the WARTS.
"Now who put that name together, I don't know," he chuckles. "It was there before I retired."
The acronym, he explains, stands for Worn-out Associated Retired Taskmasters Society; and as the name would indicate, "It's an organization of no particular structure."
Speakers range from journalists to professional athletes, and conversation is heavy on "the good old days" and "keeping up on who's where. It's a keep-the-home-fires-burning kind of thing."
And the acronyms go on. In addition to WARTS and PIGS, Daylor has volunteered for ACT NOW ("Awareness of Crime Today, Neighbors on Watch"), a program of the Henrico County Division of Police.
Daylor got involved with ACT NOW, which provides citizen patrols at county malls during the holiday season, after graduating from Henrico's 10th Citizens Police Academy. He learned about Citizen's Academy when he playfully confronted his friend Jack Polly, a CPA alumnus who surprised him by riding by in a police car.
"Aren't prisoners supposed to ride in the back?" Daylor teased Polly — only to find himself recruited to attend the next academy.
The latest acronym in Daylor's life is WOW ("Widows or Widowers") a group from St. Mary's that meets for socializing and support.
Since the loss of his wife Joan in Nov. 2002, Daylor has incorporated visits to her Westhampton Cemetery grave site into his daily routine (along with near-daily visits to church and the Y). Keeping the calendar full is one way he copes, and the WOW events help somewhat.
"I think it will perpetuate itself," he says of the new group. "It's a good thing to do. We have no yearbook and no diploma," he adds with a smile, "but we already have two graduates [who left the group and married]."
Daylor says he and the children also try to cope by trying to live as Joan would want. A month after her death, for instance, the family agonized over whether to hold their annual Christmas Day party. But since Joan had started the tradition — a response to people who rushed off from Christmas morning masses saying they had to go cook — they went ahead with the celebration. "We were very, very glad we did it," says Daylor.
Another celebration he continues in Joan's memory is a trip to New York City for St. Patrick's Day — an event the couple first attended in 1956 and revived after Frank's retirement.
In 2003, the first St. Patrick's Day without Joan, Daylor wasn't sure how much he could enjoy the parade or the big post-parade party.
When daughters Patty and Christine volunteered to accompany him, he wondered, "Does that mean they don't trust me? Or that they want to carry on for their mother?"
Suffice it to say that all enjoyed the trip, and that Daylor will be returning to New York City for St. Pat's in 2004.
"We're keeping something going that Joan loves," he says with a smile. "And she always loved watching me make a fool of myself!"

Scott Arniel: AHL Coach of the Year
Jonathan Willis
April 08 2009 11:45AM
Manitoba Moose head coach Scott Arniel has been named the AHL Coach of the Year. For the third straight season, Arniel has put up incredible numbers in Manitoba. Here's the team's record in Arniel's time in charge:
- 2008-09: 49 – 22 - 6
- 2007-08: 46 – 27 - 6
- 2006-07: 45 – 23 - 12
- Total: 140 – 77 – 24
Those are pretty incredible numbers. Arniel played 730 games in the NHL, mostly with Buffalo and Winnipeg before ending his career with three seasons as a winger with the Manitoba Moose. When he retired he joined the team as an assistant, and was an assistant coach with the Buffalo Sabres from 2002-2006 before returning to take the head coaching job.
Previous winners of the award include Scott Gordon, Bruce Cassidy, Peter Laviolette, Robbie Ftorek, Barry Trotz and Marc Crawford.
I very much doubt that Arniel has a lot of time left in the AHL; he's one of the most qualified minor league coaches out there and it would not surprise me in the slightest if he were considered for an NHL job this summer.
Any chance he goes to Edmonton Willis? I hear you guys need a coach. HA

It isn't that farfetched - Steve Tambellini would presumably have some kind of relationship with the guy, and he is technically our GM.
Arniel would definitely be on my shortlist if I was making the decision.
@ Jonathan Willis:
Technically he is your GM? What do you mean? Vancouver made a huge mistake letting him go in my opinion
April 08 2009, 02:34PM
@ Sedinz:
Kevin Lowe is still President of Hockey Operations, so there's some question as to whether or not Tambellini is a GM in fact or just in title.
@ Jonathan Willis:
Ah. Who is getting the bulk of the blame for missing the playoffs right now?
April 08 2009, 04:23PM
@ Sedinz:
MacTavish seems to be the consensus choice, but there's plenty of blame to go around and people seem to feel pretty free to spread it.
Personally, I think Lowe/Tambellini are the biggest problems, but some of MacTavish's moves didn't help matters.

I don't know we can blame Tambellini yet. Not many trades happen in todays NHL and he got decent return on Garon/Cole. But MacT definitely didnt like the cards he was dealt...
Anyways, yes Arniel would be a good coaching candidate

[...] from outside the organization, and if Katz holds true to form, the next head coach will as well. Scott Arniel should be one of the names considered (and is a logical candidate since he has some past history [...]

Patient-Driven Primary Care, A Cornerstone Of The Health & Wellness Movement?
This post by Alan Dappen, MD, originally appeared at Better Health.
Health and wellness go hand in hand; there is little question of this. I therefore ask why isn't primary care at the heart of the health and wellness movement? This, I feel, would make outstanding economic sense for all involved.
In an effort to survive these sour economic times, more and more companies are trying to stave off the escalating cost of healthcare by pushing for wellness. There is good reason for this. According to Buck Consultant's third annual global wellness survey which was cited on the Society of Human Resources Management web site those U.S. companies who measured financial outcomes of their wellness programs reported a 43% reduction in health care costs or about two to five percentage points per year.
At first 2% doesn't sound like that impressive a cost savings. Consider, however, the skyrocketing costs of healthcare and the fact that businesses often foot up to 80% of these costs, and 2% doesn't seem like such small peanuts anymore.
How would primary care and wellness programs partner to ensure the healthier wellbeing of people? Central to the concept are the delivery of services and affordability. First of all, all involved participants would have access to a primary care practitioner, round the clock, for any issue ranging run-of-the-mill primary care issues, to urgent care problems and to the management of ongoing chronic conditions, including smoking cessation, weight management, and the monitoring of diabetes.
A service like this costs our patients and corporate partners $25/month (or $300 per year) per employee, and guarantees our patients a face-to-face check and medical history and then 24/7 access to the a practitioner however the patient wants: by phone, e-mail, videoconferencing, same-day office visits and even house calls.
Imagine how much healthier corporate America would be if employers could guarantee their employees access to a doctor without the employees ever having to leave the office or waiting hours in a waiting room packed with sick people? If, when someone called her doctor, the doctor picked up the phone and talked to her directly, often times solving her problem within 10 minutes after the phone call started? Since we establish a patient-doctor relationship with a face-to-face visit first, our patients can be treated by telemedicine, and done so quickly that our malpractice insurance rates have actually gone down.
A benefit like this could easily be paid for by a company in numerous ways: by the employer either as an add-on benefit or by funding it from a health savings account. Employees, too, can pay for the benefit from their health savings account, if they have one, or from a flexible savings account as services are rendered.
If $300 per year per employee could save 5% of a company's health care costs, plus saving employees and the company hours of lost productivity and hassle--not to mention employee loyalty--isn't it worth it?
I now come full circle: Shouldn't convenient access to a primary practitioner be a core component of any health and wellness program? Wouldn't this save businesses--and all of us--millions of dollars, not to mention help to ensure our health and wellness?
This post originally appeared on Better Health , a network of popular health bloggers brought together by Val Jones, MD. Better Health's mission is to support and promote health care professional bloggers, provide insightful and trustworthy health commentary, and help to inform health policy makers about the provider point of view on health care reform, science, research and patient care.

Considerable money could be saved in health care systems worldwide if more effort was directed toward prevention and incentive mechanisms to promote health in patients. Epidemics like obesity could be significantly reduced in scope with more frequent physician involvement.

When you're anxiously awaiting your baby's arrival, pregnancy can feel like a lifetime. One creative couple condensed the experience into just 90 seconds, and in doing so captured the joy, anticipation and miracle of those unforgettable 9 months.
The expectant parents documented the pregnancy in a series of photographs taken at their home, a visual record of the mom-to-be's growing belly and all that was happening in their lives as their baby's due date drew near. They compiled the pics into a time-lapse video titled, simply, "Introducing." It's not pristine and perfect – there's the family cat wandering in and out, shoes piled by the doorway, groceries on the table, hair pulled back into messy ponytails – but that's part of what makes it so lovely.
The expectant mom stands in profile for much of the video, her tattoos visible beneath her casual sweats and tank. Her partner appears here and there with a high five, a grin, lifting her across the threshold of a new home. And then toward the end, he kisses her very swollen belly just before their (very adorable!) daughter Amelie Amaya arrives.
The video has quickly gone viral, though it seems not everyone is a fan: Some commenters have been put off by the body art while one viewer dubs it just plain "weird."
I just love it. It's so sweet and kind of quirky, probably reflective of this anonymous couple and their relationship. Watching their journey to parenthood, I couldn't help but be amazed – again – by the miracle of it all.
Note: A couple of our readers have noted that this mom is a member of their BabyCenter birth board – very cool! Big congratulations to her on the arrival of baby Amelie!
Here's the video… what do you think?

Come see what's new at the 10th Annual Blooming Bardstown Garden Tour and Marketplace being held June 8 in Bardstown, KY.
Seven fabulous private gardens are on this year's self-guided tour that runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. The gardens range in size from a small garden spilling over with daylilies to a ten-acre paradise with over 3,000 trees planted in the French style of allee and a one and one-half acre lake. Guests will be able to feed the fish in the lake during the tour. A koi fish pond with a peaceful waterfall, large and small vegetable gardens, creative outdoor "rooms," container gardening, sun and shade gardens, and comfortable outdoor dining areas are included on this year's tour of selected gardens in Bardstown and Nelson County. There will also be such features as pergolas, grape arbors, rain barrels, ornamental grasses, multi-level decks, wooded paths, hundreds of birdhouses, and enough garden art to keep you smiling all day. St Monica's community vegetable gardens are also on the tour as well as Bardstown's first ever rain garden on W. Broadway and a demonstration garden at the Nelson County Extension Office, 317 S. Third, which is where the tour begins.
Local artists will once again be painting in the gardens during the tour. Their artwork will be for sale after the tour.
The Marketplace will be open at the Extension Office from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The purchase of a tour ticket is not necessary to enjoy the events taking place at the Marketplace. Visitors can purchase their garden tour tickets, grab a bite to eat, visit the Nelson County Homemakers/4-H bake sale, sign up for the door prize and submit their bids in the Silent Auction. There are over sixty items available for bid in the Silent Auction including three one-hour plane rides for up to 3 people, a one-night stay for up to 8 people at the Bernheim Lake House plus a one year family membership to Bernheim Forest, double-wide compost bin, 10' x 3' wooden bridge, gift baskets from the local distilleries, Stihl hedge shears, handcrafted garden art, a signed Maker's Mark barrel head, plenty of gift certificates from generous contributors, and much, much more. Local vendors will have garden-related items for sale and the Kentucky Home Master Gardeners, who sponsor the event, will be selling annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, houseplants, and flower seeds. They will also be selling hand-crafted items for the garden such as birdhouses, stepping stones, and uniquely planted containers along with gardening magazines and books, equipment and yard art.
Tour tickets are $8 in advance at the Extension Office at 317 S. Third and the Tourist Commission at One Court Square in Bardstown, KY. They will be sold on the day of the tour for $10 only at the Marketplace and only until 2 p.m.
Check out pictures of past garden tours and the items that are up for bid at the Silent Auction at Facebook.com/Blooming Bardstown Garden Tour. For more information, call the Extension Office at 502-348-9204.

Congratulations Emery High and Carbon High girls basketball teams. I am proud of your winning first and third in the 3A State basketball tournament. You played well and hard throughout the tournament.
Emery High was the team to beat. Other teams could start well against them but always wore down and fell behind. The girls had class. Their defense and offense were exceptional. The opposing fans were downhearted because their girls couldn't get past our defenders, and were afraid our girls couldn't miss set-ups, 3-pointers, or foul shots.
Carbon girls played hard, always in the way of the other teams and stopping their best efforts. They always came up with enough points to win. In their final game they put everything together, an excellent offense to match their great defense. Had their second game ended 15 seconds sooner, Carbon High would have played Emery High for the championship.
I was proud of our fans. They were cheering and hoping but never rowdy and offensive (as some fans were).

Thousands took to the streets in the rain for a nationwide strike organized by trade unions opposed to cuts in pay and benefits demanded by the creditors of this heavily indebted country.
ATHENS — Wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas, thousands of doctors and nurses, journalists, professors, judges and port workers took to the streets in the rain Wednesday for a nationwide strike organized by trade unions opposed to cuts in pay and benefits demanded by the creditors of this heavily indebted country.
"For the past few years, shops are being shut down, there are more homeless in the streets," said Elena Avlichou, 29, a nutritionist researcher who works as a babysitter. "It's not a surprise to be unemployed anymore."
Over the past two years, the Greek government has implemented a series of significant budget cuts as agreed to with its international lenders, the so-called troika made up of the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Union. Those cuts were part of a deal in exchange for Greece receiving two bailouts of about $323 billion.
As a result, Greeks have seen their wages and pensions cut in half and unemployment is expected to top 27% — more than double that for younger workers. This year is the sixth consecutive year Greece has seen negative economic growth.
Talks over a new round of austerity measures are ongoing so that Greece can qualify for more bailout funds. That has angered many who have been part of the cuts to Greece's bloated public payroll, generous pensions system and welfare benefits.
Two of the protest marches to parliament in Athens on Wednesday were called off due to bad weather. But smaller groups of mainly Communist Party supporters marched.
Thousands of people marched in Greece's second city Thessaloniki. Ferry, rail and some air services were disrupted. Air traffic controllers stopped work for several hours.
"Workers, pensioners and the unemployed are going through an endless nightmare," port workers said in a statement. "The government and the troika are destroying this country."
The public sector union Adedy said in a statement: "United we can stop them, we can topple them."
Among the additional measures under consideration to balance Greece's books and improve economic growth is the privatizing of further state assets, firing 15,000 public-sector employees next year, imposing new real-estate taxes and moving ahead with foreclosures.
On Monday, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras was asked on a televised live interview what he plans to do about youth unemployment nearing 60%.
"I personally can promise that we'll have free wireless Internet throughout the country," he responded, an answer that went viral among Greeks on Twitter.

Sedins likely to sit year out in the event of a lockout
Thomas Drance
August 14 2012 10:40AM
To the disappointment of Örnsköldsvik hockey fans and presumably Modo General Manager and former Canucks captain Markus Naslund, the Sedin twins have decided that they probably won't play in the SEL next season in the event of a lockout.
Read past the jump.
That's according to Daniel Sedin who is quoted by Swedish sports media site Nyheter24 as saying that not only will the twins not play in the SEL next season (in the event of a lockout), but they may not play professional hockey at all. Here's a translation (it's an amalgamation of google translate and some direct translation from Expressen's Jonatan Lindquist):
"We'll go over [to Vancouver]. We have children who go to school so we'll see what happens. It will be clearer when the season is about to start, how long the lockout will be if there is one. But we have decided to go over and be there."
On playing with Modo:
"No. Or, of course it depends a lot on how long the lockout will be, but we will at least start the season over there."
Would they take a full season off if there is a lockout:
"Absolutely, we see no problem with that. We can keep on working out and practicing anyway."
In order to earn a cheque while the owners and the Players Association square off, NHLers have quickly filled up European hockey rosters during NHL work stoppages in the past. Already in the Swedish press, there are breathless reports of Henrik Lundqvist, Erik Karlsson, and Loui Erikkson teaming up to play for Frölunda, for example.
The twins have racked up a lot of mileage, and in Daniel's case some concerning injuries (a back ailment, in addition to a concussion) over the past few seasons. In addition to the abuse they take from the opposition on a game-to-game basis, both twins are singularly committed to fitness, so it's realistic that some extended down time away from professional hockey could even prove useful to them in the medium term.
On the other hand, part of the reason that Henrik Sedin hasn't missed a regular season game in nearly a decade, is that the twins are well-known for being addicted to playing hockey. By all accounts the twins love to compete, love the grind and are loathe to miss any games. In the event of a lockout, I wouldn't be concerned about them getting rusty because of time-off, but I'm kind of skeptical about their ability to actually step away from the game for that long!
Let's hope this is all for naught, and that the NHL and the NHLPA manage to hammer out a deal at some point in the next couple of months. The twins play the game so beautifully that, for the hockey world to be deprived of their skillful passing exhibitions for an entire season... Well, it seems almost cruel.
Update: the Sedins later elaborated on their comments to Av Gunnar Norstrom of Expressen. In summary: if it looks like the lockout will last only a few months, then the twins will wait it out. If it looks like the whole season is lost, they will join Modo and have spoken with Naslund about it.
Okay, now you're just trying to make my cry.
August 14 2012, 03:51PM
I do admire the twins for their stand, and know that they are committed to their fitness, no matter the outcome. This is beginning to sound that the worst is about to take place though. I don't quite know how to say this without offending anyone, but will just the same. If our NHL Players are locked out for a season, I have an issue with these players going abroad and playing in another league. The elements of things that could happen, not just to the player, but the attention to this market in getting something done for us. (i.e. terms of a deal) It makes it all too easy to retain the high level of defiance and just walk away from the table. The evidence of my pre-sour-grapes is showing, but as a fan I'm perplexed in how easy it is just to walk away from those of us that live and breath Hockey. So; if today was Christmas; I want a deal today Santa.....
Ditto that.
What would be horrible would be if there is a two-three month lockout and the Sedins don't play at all even when the NHL comes back from the lockout.
Please get something sorted out, NHLPA/NHL/various others.
I think the issue would be that though they do get paid a lot of money, they likely have fairly large payments going out for things like houses, cars, etc.. if you thought you were going to miss an entire year's worth of pay, would you not look elsewhere? I lean more toward it being selfish of us (the fans) to assume that though even though they are very well paid, they can just afford to take a year off with nothing coming in (in a *lot* of cases, obviously not all)
as far as unions however, the only one I've ever been in though was ridiculous, the reps were deep inside the company's pockets, so I don't fully understand the politics of unions either as I'm sure that applies here somehow
August 15 2012, 09:44AM
Didn't they "Sit Out" last years playoffs?
August 15 2012, 03:26PM
Yeah, I've already read an interview with Naslund, saying he'd be interested in (and has partly contacted) Edler, Hedman, the Sedins, Enström and Steen!

I am seeing more advertisements and a few articles in journals regarding barbed sutures. I find the concept interesting. The supposed benefits include:
- less time to close the incision as there is no tying
- multiple layers (subcutaneous and dermis) can be closed together with one continuous suture
- less suture "spitting" as no knots to be dissolved
- less or no strangulation of tissue as there are no knots tied
- no need for an assistant to "follow" the suture
The Barbed sutures (photo credit) are sutures with small projections that radiate outward from the center of the suture. For example, the suture may be made by cutting the surface of 2-0 polypropylene to create small projecting barbs, all angled in one direction and helicoidally arrayed around the length of the suture core. The core of the barbed suture is then equivalent to a 4-0 polypropylene suture. Barbed sutures come in both permanent ( polypropylene and nylon) and dissolvable (polydioxanone) forms.
While Barbed sutures offer the promise of minimally invasive facial suspension (ie Threadlift, Featherlift , etc), I am more interested in how they might be used in vertical scar mastopexy or abdominoplasty or other body contouring procedures. Also, the use in tendon repair (no strangulation of the tendon) is worth watching.
Here are some basic instructions found on the Quill SRS Website:
QuillTM SRS contains bidirectionally oriented barbs to anchor tissues and does not require knots to approximate opposing edges of a wound. Tying of knots with QuillTM SRS will damage the barbs and potentially reduce their effectiveness. For the bidirectional forces to be created and for the device to function properly, both sides of the QuillTM SRS must be engaged in the tissue. Additionally, when completing placement, an additional J-stitch or bite of tissue lateral to the end of the incision is required to lock the device in place.
Avoid contacting the QuillTM SRS with other materials (e.g. surgical gauze, drapes, etc.) in the surgical field to prevent ensnaring on the barbs. If the barbs catch, carefully pull the material in the opposite direction of the needle to disengage it from the barbs.
When using QuillTM SRS subcutaneously, the device should be placed as deeply as possible in order to minimize erythema and induration normally associated with absorption.
Care should be taken to avoid damage when handling. Avoid crushing or crimping the suture material with surgical instruments, such as needle holders and forceps. Do not pull the QuillTM SRS out of the package by the needles as this can cause the barbs to catch on one another. Do not attempt to remove memory in the polymer by running fingers down the suture material as this can damage the barbs.
I would think that some down sides to using barbed sutures might be:
- need to "never" redo a stitch placement as you can't "back" the suture out
- ability to "feel" the barb if placed to superficial
- can patient's "feel" the barb if to near the muscle layer?
I'd like to know more about these sutures. Has anyone used them?

Tom Cruise Finds Someone To Write His Rent Checks
On Thursday, several operatives alerted us to Tom Cruise's presence at Yahoo's Santa Monica headquarters, where it was thought that the suddenly homeless actor/producer was looking to see if chairman Terry Semel was interested in getting into the Fading Megastar Deemed Too Expensive And Crazy To Work With Paramount business. Today, the LAT is reporting that Cruise has found someone—a very unexpected, sports-team-owning someone—willing to toss some loose change his way to help the down-on-his-luck star get back on his feet:
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, who recently wrested control of Six Flags Inc., is said to be a leading investor in an agreement that would give Cruise less than $3 million to finance staff and office expenses. In exchange, Snyder and the others will have the ability to finance movies developed by Cruise and his producing partner, Paula Wagner.
The deal gives Cruise less than the $3 million that he reportedly turned down from Paramount Pictures to renew his longtime deal with the studio that expires Thursday.
Cruise and Wagner had been receiving an estimated $10 million from Paramount to cover their overhead under the soon to be expired deal.
We have to admit that we have no idea what Cruise is up to, but we expect that when his impossibly complicated master plan to yoke together the financial power of NFL franchises, theme parks, and shadowy, still-unnamed hedge funds into an extrastudio moviemaking juggernaut is finally revealed, Sumner Redstone will be reduced to a harmless pile of dust from the shock.
