AS: Manufacturing Engineering
Work: For the past several years I have been interning at Covidien Medical Devices. This internship coupled with my education has given me an in-depth knowledge of engineering in theory and practicality. Having the opportunity to put into practice what I have learned has been invaluable.
Future Goals: I hope to expand my reach in the engineering field and provide innovative solutions for tomorrow's problems.
I have always enjoyed working with my hands, growing up I spent a lot of my time working on cars. I find great satisfaction in being able to create what was once a thought into a reality. The mechanical engineering curriculum has fueled my curiosity for technology as well as all types of engineering.
My role as a project leader has shown me the many aspects of managing and coordinating a large scale project such as: developing a testing lab; testing equipment; working as a team; goal setting and accountability. Largely I have learned the importance of communication within the group. Being able to set priorities and meet goals within a set timeline involves excellent communication skills. Representing my group and acting as the voice for the team accomplishments and objectives has also greatly improved my ability to present and speak to a range of people. My Design work on this project has also been very challenging. Some of the key areas have been replicating conditions of exposure and conform to standards and tolerances set by the SRCC. My main design contributions have been developing the testing apparatuses and construction of testing equipment. Working on the Solar Testing Lab has educated me on how important alternative energy is for our country and the rest of the world. I believe the continued education of engineering is an important part to solving many of our challenges today.
Tawatos Phadungsoondararak

Major : Electrical Engineering
Work: Electrical components selection, Hardware
What I've learned : New kinds of sensors; Pyranometers, Flow meters and RTDs. Applying the electrical world to the mechanical world.
Useful courses : Power Electronics, Digital Systems, Semiconductor Devices, Electrical Instruments and Measurement, Digital IC, Analog IC, Noise Reduction Techniques In Electronic System
Before I came to UNH, I received my BE in Electronics Engineering from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology in Ladkrabang, Thailand. I worked as a design engineer in Delta Electronics Co.,Ltd. (Thailand), and then came to UNH for a master's of science in electrical engineering. I heard about this project during my third trimester here, and joined immediately. I have found that this project has provided me an opportunity to utilize my skills that I have learned both from my electrical schooling and work experience.
Thus far, my main focus has been the electrical specifications of the equipment and sensors. When combining sensors and circuits together with a mechanic machine, there are a lot of variables to take into consideration. For this project we needed to consider sensors that measure temperature, strength, pressure, humidity and light intensity. The tests required for this project are extreme. This means that the testing equipment must be able to withstand these extreme conditions. Some components that would work perfectly from an electrical point of view in a normal situation, do not for this project because of these extreme conditions. The hard work began with searching for the components that are good from both an electrical point of view and a mechanical point of view.
At this point, I have gained a lot of knowledge about the standards and classes of components and sensors which are of a higher accuracy than those designed for normal commercial usage. I have started to learn about the fluid control system and am beginning to develop the equipment necessary for it to function. I hope I will continue to learn a lot from this project in the future.

I work helping develop flexible heating elements for many industries such as medical devices, military applications and manufacturing.
Future Goals: I hope to further my education and contribute to the engineering community by developing new technologies and improving existing ones.
I was born and raised in Brazil. In 2003, I came to US to do an exchange program and continue my education in the Engineering field. The mechanical engineering curriculum has provided me with great problem solving skills and I feel a great accomplishment in applying these skills in all aspects of my life. In addition, this major has complemented my need for innovation and my interest in new technologies.
My role as a team member has provided me the opportunity to explore many aspects of new designs. I have been working in creating test procedures as well as test equipment for the solar test lab. As part of my tasks, I have created drawings that illustrate the many components of the test equipment. In addition, I worked on 3D models so that the group can explore the many possibilities of the designs prior to fabrication. Another important aspect of my role is to support the team leaders in generating documentations and journals that describe the progress of the project. These tasks have positively impact my abilities to work in group as well as my technical skills as an engineer. Also, working in this project has allowed me to work closely with a group of bright young engineers. In fact, being a part of this group has endowed me with a great team spirit and a wonderful exposure to applied engineering.

STTL came up to me as my senior design project. In this project we are designing a test rig in order to test indoor and outdoor capabilities of a solar collector. I am working in a group of four electrical engineers to control the data acquisition using NI LabView 2010 and control the fluid flow in the system using Emerson PLC controller. We also researched on several sensors such as pyranometer, pyheliometer, wind speed sensor that will be used during testing of the solar collectors. I had a great experience while doing this project. This project helped me to expand my knowledge both in technical and professional terms.
Mike Sokolskiy
Hometown: East Longmeadow, MA
Majors: BS: Mechanical Engineering
Work: During the summer between my junior and senior year, I worked for a small wind turbine company called FloDesign. The test turbine, named BRIZA, was my main project. Organizing wind data for the procurement of a new test site was key, and a few other interns and I developed a spreadsheet to organize these data. As a senior I took a position with Pratt & Whitney supporting core manufacturing engineering, doing cost estimation modeling. Currently I work for Pratt & Whitney in indirect materials, maintaining a machining parameter program and organizing and standardizing their production tool library.
Future Goals: I am currently in the process of securing a permanent position in perishable tooling at P&W, and pursuing a MSME at RPI.
I have always enjoyed math and science, so engineering was a natural jump for me coming out of high school. I chose UNH for its pledge to experiential education, in the hope of rounding myself into a valuable engineer.
The project called for a number of stress analyses and fluid analyses I developed spreadsheets to run these routines to support the design process.

I became a member of the University of New Haven's STTL team this winter as a junior mechanical engineering student from Becket, Massachusetts. I have always enjoyed a more hands on experience with engineering having worked on vehicles from ATVs and automobiles ever since I can remember. The University of New Haven's STTL provided me with the opportunity to get true hands on building and design experience on a real engineering project. Some of my contributions on the project thus far include construction on all three testing carts, design of a pyranometer mounting system on the panel ambient (instrumentation) cart, design of a mounting system for the anemometer (wind speed sensor) on the panel testing cart allowing it to be perpendicular to the ground at all times, as well as designing a propane tank mounting system with firewall. In addition to taking part in this project I am member of the university's ASME student chapter which designs and builds a super-mileage vehicle. Also, I am member of the Pi Tau Sigma Mechanical Engineering Honor Society as well as a member of New Haven's varsity baseball team.
Kanok Charoenchaiprakit
Origin : Thailand
Major : Electrical Engineering
Work: Software part, Programming LABVIEW
This project really challenged me to create a data logging with a user interface LabView program. There are many types of sensors and transducers that we have to record in an EXCEL file and much of data needs to be sent to a CPC-E2 controller in order to control a circulating fluid loop. The data acquisition device we use is a NI CompactDAQ that has four analog input modules and an analog output module connected to a laptop computer. The most important thing that I have gotten from this project has been learning how to work in an interdisciplinary group setting. On this project I have been working with electrical engineering, system engineering, and mechanical engineering students. This experience cannot be found in class and it is useful in real jobs.
Macide Dunica

Benton Grade School Superintendent Jay Goble is reviewing options to improve safety in the schools.
"At Benton Elementary we have a crisis management plan and we review that annually," he said. "However, we are constantly evaluating our campus for safety issues and looking for ways to improve safety.
"Currently we are in the process at looking at our middle school office set up and working with our architect to improve the current setup," Goble said. "We are also looking at camera and buzzer systems for both the middle school and elementary school entrances to add just one more layer of protection."
Goble said everyone understands that short of turning schools into armed fortresses you can't make any school absolutely 100 percent violent proof.
"It's just the very sad fact of life in the times we live in," he said. "However, what we can do is continually evaluate, adapt, and be proactive to guard against as many possible contingencies as we can and we certainly are doing that.
"Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook we have had many discussions regarding school safety.
"One of the national discussions that came out of that tragedy was the idea of arming school personnel."
While the superintendent said he personally is not in favor of such an action, he is in favor of a greater police presence in the school.
"I think there are some excellent ideas out there that will help accomplish this," Goble said. "One idea is to provide the local police department a satellite office within the school. This would simply be a place for the officers to do paperwork and take calls.
"I think this idea is brilliant.
"I wish I could say I thought of it myself. However I am certainly not above stealing the idea and I have contacted Benton Police Chief Mike Andrews to see if there might be a way we can form a partnership and provide his department a satellite office in our school starting next year."
Goble said such a partnership has other benefits as well in that it provides an opportunity for local police officers to interact daily in a positive way with students.
"This reinforces the idea that police officers are not people to be feared but are public servants and are here to help us," he said. "In a situation such as this the kids will get to know the officers and the officers will get to know the kids and positive relationships can be established.
"Chief Andrews and I are in the very early discussion stages of this idea and there are certainly things that we will need to discuss and work out.
"He has a city council to answer to and I have a school board so we will obviously need to take a proposal to them if we believe a partnership will work for both parties."
Page 2 of 2 - The superintendent said Benton is lucky to have a chief of police that is already very involved with its young people and very concerned about the youth of his community.
"He and I have had several discussions and it is clear he has a passion for helping kids so I am very excited about the potential this idea has for our district, for his department, and for our community as a whole," Goble said.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Kirk and Glen Jensen brought their problem before the Emery County Lands Council on March 11. The Jensens reported a problem they are having with ATV and motorcycle traffic upon their private property. They said that they have no trespassing signs posted all over and these signs are ignored and torn down. Roads that did not exist a year ago have been created by users to the area. They also reported that antique items at the old Marsing ranch have been stolen by those entering the property.
The ATVs are damaging the property by building these roads and are also damaging the drainage system by going in and out of the ditches and washes and changing their natural channels. The Jensens expressed frustration at their situation. They have contacted law enforcement about this trespassing and were told they needed to get the license plate numbers of those on the property illegally. The Jensens said this is nearly impossible to do. They are also concerned about the damage to their property devaluing its worth.
The lands council discussed possible ways to help solve the problems the Jensens are having. Tory Killian pointed out that ATV groups perform work projects and would be a good resource to get involved in the issue. It was suggested that the ATV groups get involved with the installation of gates to obstruct the access onto the private property.
Joan Hubert from the BLM was also present at the meeting. She believed that the major problem is that the private ground borders the BLM ground which is open for riders. She suggested the Jensens get in contact with the BLM and get their problems addressed in the RMP process. She suggested that the boundaries of the land which is open adjacent to the Jensen property be pushed back to obtain a buffer zone between the open BLM land and the closed private land. She recognized the problem of people ignoring the signs and not paying any attention to when they enter the private land. She felt this buffer zone could cut down on the ATV traffic in the area. Hubert stressed that these concerns must be addressed during the RMP process. She encouraged the Jensens to come in and talk to the manager in charge of that area and to also put their concerns in writing for submission. Hubert said as the realty specialist for the BLM she would be glad to sit down with the Jensens and outline their property lines on a map and see how far back to restrict travel to protect the private ground.
Scott Wheeler, ATV enthusiast from Price was also present at the meeting and said he had concerns about the Marsing ranch for a number of years. He described the ranch as being a historical place with many artifacts which need to be preserved. He said he saw a 4-wheel drive truck going through that area which he knew was closed. He believes that education is one of the keys to solving problems like these. Wheeler thought ads in the paper might be helpful which let people know the Marsing Ranch is off limits and private property.
Wheeler also said he would be glad to get his ATV group together to help with signage in the area.
Mark H. Williams, from the Southeastern Utah OHV club stated they are working together with the state to bring a bigger license plate for ATVs and motorcycles so the numbers could easily be read through binoculars; it is really difficult to identify offenders. He stated it is the 10 percent jerk factor that makes things difficult for responsible ATV riders. He promised the support of his group in helping the Jensens with their problem.
Glen Jensen said the property is only supposed to be accessed by hiking in or by horseback. He wanted people to know that with his permission they can hike or ride in on horseback to see the area. His problem comes with the motorized traffic which goes through his property and destroys it. The ATVs have damaged many of the horse and cow trails which existed on the property for livestock use.
Bert Oman, also present at the meeting, suggested they look into getting the Marsing ranch designated as a historical site. Vandalizing a historical site carries much stiffer penalties than other types of vandalism. Oman suggested they come to a historical society meeting and get the ball rolling with that approach.
Jim Gilson also suggested a reward could be offered for the recovery of stolen items from the site and also a reward for information leading to the identification of those trespassing on the property.
Gilson said that rewards have been effective for them in helping to catch poachers and might be useful along these lines as well.
The Jensens seemed encouraged with the show of support from the lands council and the discussion of possible solutions for the problems on their land.

"Ethelbert is Coming" – Naming Ourselves
African-American descendants of slaves ponder it, as do descendants of immigrants that arrived at Ellis Island. Expecting parents deliberate it, as does a bride going from maiden to married (or vice versa). Artists muse it, as do people with political or religious intentions. "It" being the meaning of the personal name — or the process of giving, taking, or receiving a name that we experience in multiple ways as giving definition, and sometimes control, to our individual identity.
I've been thinking about this since hearing Krista and E. Ethelbert Miller talk about the significance of naming in this week's program. I appreciated both the weight and the humor in Miller's description of the experience of naming his children. In his first memoir, Fathering Words, he writes about his own name change:
"…I changed my name my sophomore year at Howard. I reinvented myself. Maybe everything I am writing now is a continuation of that 1969 decision, like the Brown, Supreme Court decision of 1954. I was Gene to my parents, especially my father. I enrolled in college as Eugene E Miller, but like the legal blow against segregation, I became more social and outgoing under the name E. Ethelbert Miller.
How did it happen? Was it as quick as my grandmother changing my father's last name from Williams to Miller when they came to America? A new identity, an escape as good as anything Houdini could do. The magic was first discovered in the lounge of Drew Hall. A number of us were thinking about running for student government as a ticket. I was selected to run for freshman class treasurer. It was obvious that no one had checked my poor math grades from elementary to high school. A consecutive record of failures with numbers that established a Ripken-like streak. The person handling my campaign was a young coed from Chicago. She had a nice afro and shape, and she was funny and smart. We sat on the floor in the lounge trying to come up with slogans for posters and we couldn't. She asked about my middle name. Ethelbert, I told her, and she laughed. She came up with this silly expression about 'Ethelbert Is Coming' and soon made posters with an airplane, which struck me as stupid, but what did I know about politics. Many students found the expression funny and voted for me and I won.
So I was Eugene Ethelbert Miller after a few weeks away from the Bronx. But folks would call me Eugene until I ran for sophomore class president and decided to cast myself as a new politician. I had resigned from being freshman class treasurer because I refused to spend money on a class party and folks wanted to party and so they did so without me. Just as Richard Nixon became the new Nixon to some, I changed my name to E. Ethelbert Miller…"
In his first memoir, Miller also peppers in writings from his sister, Marie. A nurse, she shares her candid assessment of his name change:
"I thought the entire name change thing was as crazy as getting an afro, or wearing African clothes, or going to Africa. E. Ethelbert Miller, please! What was he getting into down in Washington? All that black stuff was crazy. I saw it on television. It didn't have anything to do with my life. When you're thinking about working in a hospital, all you see is red, the color of blood. Folks don't have no time for race relations when they are sick or dying; and why didn't my brother take an African name if he wanted to be so black and different? He could have been Kwame, or one of those principles associated with that thing called Kwanzaa. You know, he could have called himself Umoja or something like that."
I made the traditional choice of taking my husband's name when I got married, primarily for practical reasons, but also because my maiden name reflected a history of family adoption, so I felt no innate connection to it. It didn't take long for me to get used to it; in fact, I think the process of changing my social security card took longer. With my son, we chose a name that was simple, sounded regal (to us), and was connected to family heritage. I hope Owen will embrace it, though I'll be prepared for the reality that he may amend it.
I wonder: What stories, choices, meanings are behind your names? In what ways and in what places do you find yourself pondering the meaning of your name and how it defines you?

I believe, as always, that there is room for different monetization models in our industry. I've been a long-standing member of the "I love subscription-based games" model and since I'm going for a niche audience, I think it makes sense to use that model again. I really don't want to create a game that has to figure out how to get a small percentage of people to pay for a game while the largest percentage of them will not pay for the game even if it's great. In addition, since this game is geared to RvR, I believe we would end up with having to support a lot of people who are just "kicking the tires" and have no intention of being long-time player. Now, if the game is PvE –based, that's not so bad. However, if you are trying to build a Community, that influx of players could hurt it. It really boils down to the fact that I'd rather have 30-50K people playing and paying each month than having to support 1M players hoping to get 5% of them to pay. Now, I also think we can and should revisit the whole "All MMORPG subscriptions should cost $14.95 for one month" thing and be more aggressive in our pricing including lowering the price for certain subs but I'll talk more about that down the road. What I will say though is I'm not interested in making this game one that needs "whales" to be profitable, nor of making the game $20 per month.

Nope, this game is not meant for Raiders / PvE'ers.
PvP or GTFO!
I wouldn't be so quick to think there will be no PvE. Like Mark said in the interview, DAoC would not have been nearly as successful without its PvE content and like he also said, he and his crew have learned from their mistakes and triumphs. So, not having PvE would be a huge mistake, but that doesn't mean the game couldn't or shouldn't still have a greater focus on the RvR aspect.
I agree with you here, I hope the intent is to make it focused on RvR out of the gate, so we arent faced with RvR rebalancing later down the road, due to a PvE focus at launch.
Back in it's heyday when the BG's were always full in all the level tiers, it was immense fun leveling toons just in RvR alone. You could rank all the way up to max level and have some decent RR by the time you maxed out, without ever having to run all over hell and Hibernia to do quests. And then head on off to do RvR in the frontiers..
Ahh the memories..
You make me like charity
Id rather have s sub to wipe out the buy to win mode of "ftp" games any day.
Played Daoc an loved it, my best mmo times where their.
I can only hope for a more serious look none of this panda quaggan backpack silly stuff .
How can RvR cause a game to fail? It was the center piece of DAoC.
DAoC failed because Mythic treated players poorly.

PvP done RvR style!!! Good reason to be excited! And as for people saying there won't be PvE, lol - The frontiers of camelot had lots of PvE mixed right in. I always thought there could of been more roaming giants and creatures to mix it up with.
Didn't UO mix in lots of creatures to kill and PvP was everywhere. Why would anyone assume he won't have creatures to kill in his game? Let's give the man time to tell us his entire vision.
I for one am happy to hear about this game as I am planning to play and like TESO, however, I am already dreading doing 1,000+ quests. (Maybe Mark will leave out quests in CU!!!) lol
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!

Im asking sencerely also not being condesending. Realm vs Realm has been asked for by a huge chunk of players for every single release since wow. People enjoy fighting for their server or realm against 2 other teams not just 1 .This is far from living in the last when the guys webblog about a year ago was getting glowed up by tons of posts and comments wanting him to make DAOC 2 and more realm vs realm. People love camelot so I do not see why this title wouldnt sell tons in the end. Hes trying to make an appeal to old DAOC vets and tells everyone right from the start this title is going to be made to fill that niche crowd and he doesnt want a million subs just like 50 or 60k.
Defend what? Is GW2 in danger? GW2 isn't an rvr game. I have a great time in WvW, but it's still themepark battleground pvp. I love playing GW2 and the community there, but the WvW isn't the anchor for me. It's the people I play with and the fact that it's Guild Wars. I've been playing in that universe since it came out.
I'm skeptical because I think it's a bunch of hooey. He knows exactly what words will garner support for his kickstarter. He used them all through the interview (sandbox, rvr, themepark lamentations, etc, bleh).
Let's say he can squeek it out and make the game for $20M and get 60,000 players. Each player would need to pay them over $333 just for them to break even. How is he goig to get roi? How muc does he have to make per person per unit of time to return on time? If it costs 30M and he can only get 50,000 players then each one would need to pay $500 just for them to break even.
Tiered subscriptions? That doesn't send out a warning bells not to mention sub-locked game access? If you're going to fork out $15/mo then why would you do it in this and not ESO or GW2 and TSW since you consider the latter two rvr.
I'm sayiing people should look a little more critically and don't eat it up just because he throws you a few gamer sex words like rvr and sandbox. If he stands up to a little scrutiny over time then he'll be worth your support. I don't think it will because nothing in that interview adds up.
I'm not a big fan of pvp, but I'm actually glad they aren't going to have any PvE for this game. I've always thought of almost every MMO should be either a PvP or PvE MMO. They try to add both, but there's always one that seems to do much better than the other. I play different MMOs depending on what I want. For PvE I'll play WoW or Rift, to play PvP I'll go play DAoC.
Edit: DAoC is the only game that I actually loved to PvP.
Hope the EU ppl can pledge on kickstarter aswell, or they do somthing like Chris Roberts did with Star Citizen, otherwise they might miss out a big junk of cash.
I would support it

You're mistaken.
Actually the 3 factions were Albion, Hibernia, and Midgard. Camelot is just a time frame although camelot was the name of the city in Albion. Camelot was the main word in his original title Dark Age of "Camelot".
If they will aim for 30-50k subs, people will claim the game is a "failure". Because you can't make money unless you have 1M+ subs, right?

Why wouldn't they? I've pledged just fine on the US kickstarter with Amazon payments.

Stopped reading the moment I read that the entire game is based around RvR. MJ has stated elsewhere that he has learned from the past but I think that he missed a spot, the spot where no MMO solely based on PvP has been even remotely close to successful. The best he can hope for with this model is minor success as a very niche game.
Well then if you read it all you'll notice a niche game is exactly what he's after.

Man I would just like to see 100k dedicated players. THe rest can keep whatever clone they are playing
Wait... what? I thought the industry told us that the sub model was unprofitable and unsustainable?
Yet here we have, from a man very much in the know, saying he can run his game for a niche audience on it... makes you wonder why those other guys say they can't eh? Maybe it is down to making a sustanable profit or just profiteering, as some here have always maintained?
I admire a man who puts game design before high marketing numbers and a man who seems to understand how the cash shop model is awful for community building and core game design (I do disagree with him that this isn't important for PvE games as well though, but I feel he is being somewhat diplomatic towards his industry peers in what he says here).

Another Captain who was stripped is Patrick Marleau. Joe Thornton has been the captain of the Sharks since then, and Marleau seems to still have consistently productive seasons.
Couple points on Ukraine: Ukrainians I've spoken with don't like the "the". One went as far as calling us "The Canada" until his point was made.
Also Ukraine is not part of the eurozone - their currency is the grivna (pronounced "hrvina" or "hrivnas" for plural). And your "Million grivnas question" is approximately the $125,000 question.

By HARRIET BISHOP
I had an adventure at the dentists the other day. Instead of me going to his office, he came to me. Can you believe it? Well, it's true. It seems there is this Dentist House Call Program for home-bound patients who qualify. I did. Thus my dentist donated his time and came to my home.
This program has been on going in Salt Lake City and now has a van and driver that comes out of Vernal for us rural people. It took forever to get it set up because I came in it at the very beginning and they had a lot of logistics and organization to work out. They finally got it together and thus my visit.
The van is equipped with everything that a dentist's office has including an x-ray machine. They come to your home and bring the chair and everything and set it up right in your home. It's pretty cool. I was able fortunately, to sit in my own recliner chair instead of those wonderfully, comfortable chairs they have at the dentist's office,(tongue in cheek). I never sat in a dentist's chair in my life that was comfortable to me. How about you?
You know why they have you put up your feet in a dentist chair? It is supposed to make you feel relaxed. Let's face it. How can you relax when you have a 40 inch needle coming at you?
There is a unit that they wheel in that looks sort of like one for those big tool box chests. It has a place for all the drills and a place for the water and air and a work area. They plug it in and you're ready. The light is really easy to set up and the dentist positions it and you're good to go.
I had quite a lot of work to be done and we did it all in that one visit. Wheeeeewww.
Now we have all been to the dentist and I am quite sure that the majority of you will say that it is not the most enjoyable experience when it is your turn. I am fortunate to have a very loving, caring and gentle staff and dentist. However, let's face it. Pain is involved somewhere no matter what! This visit was no exception. I had three teeth pulled, three teeth filled, my front teeth filed down and two full impressions taken. One of the top of my mouth and the bottom.
This was all done in one hour and forty five minutes. Needless to say my mouth felt like a pin cushion. I have to tell you that I kept giggling during all of this process because I couldn't get out of my mind a picture. A cartoon actually. It was of a dentist bent over his patient with water flying everywhere and stuff flying out of the mouth with a big old pair of pliers in his hand and a grin on his face that would shatter glass. His assistant holding a huge needle in the air was grinning from ear to ear as she prepares to hand the doctor his next torture tool. Me saying to myself,"Well, here's another fine mess you've gotten yourself into." It was this humorous picture that kept me giggling and got me through the hard parts. Needless to say after all this was over I felt a bit whipped. However I have bounced back and the hard part is over and in a couple of weeks I will have a tooth in place of the hole in the front of my mouth and some grinders to chew with. Hooray!
In defense of my wonderful dentist. My kind, loving, gentle and generous dentist, Dr. Mark Olson and his caring assistant, Linda Dimick who let me hold her hand and squeeze it hard a couple of times. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. There are no words to express my gratitude. I want to say how grateful I feel to live in such a loving and caring community. How fortunate we are to live in a place where people care about each other. A big thanks to all you people and neighbors and friends involved in helping me to get this work done and the program to recognize this area.
Well, that's my world. Until next time remember, "We must be able to laugh at ourselves once in awhile. It is what keeps us sane."

"I bought these on clearance and online and to be honest I wasnt sure if it would be true to size or too wide on the calves. Luckily these boots were perfect for my 7.5 feet and the calf circumference wasnt the huge thing it usually is for me, because of my skinny legs. Its also pretty comfortable. Im glad I took my chances, unfortunately theyre sold out now."

Because he is a friend, I took over the wound care. He did daily dressing changes, cleaning the wound with Techni-Care. On the fourth day post-injury, I "freshened" the wound edges and closed the wounds.
He is right handed. He never missed a day of work. He is one "lucky dog"! 1st photo--day after accident; 2nd photo--4th post-injury day; 3rd photo--just after wound closure
This post is not about gunshot wounds. It is about gun safety. First off--NEVER ASSUME. [You know what they say about folks who assume---It makes an ass (of) u (and) me.]
Before cleaning your gun, make absolutely sure that it is unloaded. The gun's action should be open during the cleaning process. Also, be sure that no ammunition is present in the cleaning area.
Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons.
Know how to use the gun safely. Before handling a gun, learn how it operates. Consider taking a class in gun safety.
ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety.
ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun.
ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
Teach your children gun safety. The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program (begun in 1988 by the NRA) teaches children in an easy-to-remember format consisting of the following simple rules:
If you see a gun:
- Don't Touch.
- Leave the Area.
- Tell an Adult.
Gun Safety--NRA

The Emery High track teams participated in the BYU High School Invitational track meet last weekend and the teams came home encouraged by their results. With more than 100 total schools representing Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada, Emery participated against other small 1A/2A schools with 31 schools in this division.
The Emery girls finished third but only two points out of second place. The Emery boys finished sixth but only four points out of fifth place. The two teams together finished in fifth place but only three points out of third place.
With the region 15 meet coming up this Tuesday in preparation for next week's Utah State track meet, region 15 was well represented at BYU. For the boys, Grand finished first, Richfield finished second and San Juan 11th besides Emery's finish. For the girls, San Juan was fifth and Grand was eighth with Richfield 11th.
First for the Emery girls, the three Emery relay teams all placed well as the 4x100 team finished third as did the 4x400 team. The sprint medley relay team finished second. Members of the sprint medley team were Catherine Dyer, Blayr Jeffs, Hailee Rogers and Hannah Dyer. Members of the 4x400 team were Catherine Dyer, Hannah Dyer, Blayr Jeffs and Hailee Rogers. Members of the 4x100 team were Catherine Dyer, Hailee Rogers, Blayr Jeffs and Ashlynn Allred.
In individual events, Ashlynn Allred set a school record at 25.85 eclipsing the old record of 26.04 in winning the 200-meter race. Allred also ran well in the 100-meter races during the two days as she ran against the fastest girls in Utah. Allred ended up finishing fourth against the premier competition. Allred also finished third in the long jump with a jump of 16'2. 5", more than a foot shy of her best jump of the year.
Jessica Guymon was the only other individual to place in the meet. Guymon finished sixth in the javelin with a throw of 104'8".
The boy's were led by Brendon Jorgensen's first place finish in the 300-meter hurdles. Brendon ran a 40.99 to win by almost a full second. Jorgensen also finished fifth in the 110-meter hurdles and seventh in the long jump.
Emery's sprint medley relay team finished second and the 4x400 relay team finished sixth. Members of the sprint medley team were David Dyer, Tyler Pulli, Nagel Viera and Scott Jackson. Members of the other relay team were David Dyer, Nagel Viera, Tyler Pulli and Jared Shakespaere.
Also placing for the boys were Taylor Hansen in the high jump in third place seventh place finishes by Scott Jackson in the 400-meters and Brandon McCandless in the shot put.
Coach Todd Jeffs expects the region meet to come down to Emery and San Juan on the girl's side and to Grand and Richfield and then Emery on the boy's side.

The age-old north/south derby clash between these two SA heavyweights will continue on Friday when the Bulls host the Stormers.
The age-old north/south derby clash between these two South African heavyweight sides will continue on Friday when the Bulls play host to the Stormers.
The stage is set for another fiery affair that could well and truly go either way at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, as both teams look to kick-off their 2013 campaign with a win.
Buoyed by their 2012 Currie Cup title, the Stormers – with the core of the squad made up of Western Province players who helped win South Africa's domestic championship – will want to add another piece of silverware to the Newlands trophy cabinet.
Indeed, Allister Coetzee's troops will be desperate to throw away their chokers tag after finishing the 2010 season as runners-up to the Bulls before losing two consecutive home semi-finals to the Crusaders and Sharks respectively – meaning the wait for a maiden Super Rugby title goes on.
Quite simply, though, those losses with the finish line in sight will be all the motivation the Stormers will need heading into this campaign.
No strangers to winning Super Rugby tournaments, however, are the Bulls with three titles to their name thus far. By finishing in the top six last year and making the play-offs, the Bulls proved they are still a quality side even without their Bok legends.
The great thing about the Bulls is that they have an inherent hunger and drive that seems to motivate them to achieve great things. This, together with their illustrious history in Super Rugby is why they could very well be the competition's dark horse this season.
"The Bulls will always be in the mix. They are the only South African franchise to have won this competition three times, and they are a very proud team and union," said Coetzee.
"They have a quality pack and we have seen in the pre-season that Morne Steyn is back to his best, both in kicking out of hand and at posts."
The Bulls have also been further strengthened by the appointment of former Springbok and Bulls stalwart Victor Matfield to the Pretoria outfit's management team.
"I definitely think they will be a better side this year, I'd say much better," added Coetzee.
"They have an extra arrow in their quiver this year in the form of Victor Matfield.
"We all know what he has achieved and what expertise he can bring as an attack and line-out coach."
The Stormers came out on top in both their matches against the Bulls in last year's competition, including a rare victory at Loftus. Will lightning strike twice?
Prediction: Tough one! Out of all the games taking place this weekend, this has to be the hardest to call. We expect both teams to go at it hammer and tongs, but we have an inkling the visitors will edge an extremely tight encounter by the skin of their teeth. Stormers by less than five!
The teams:
Bulls: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Lionel Mapoe, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Mornè Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 Dewald Potgieter, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Juandrè Kruger, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Mornè Mellett.
Replacements: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Grant Hattingh, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouchè, 22 Francois Venter.
Stormers: 15 Jaco Taute, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Jean de Villiers (c), 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Nic Groom, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 De Kock Steenkamp, 3 Pat Cilliers, 2 Deon Fourie, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Frans Malherbe, 18 Don Armand, 19 Nizaam Carr, 20 Dewaldt Duvenage, 21 Gerhard van den Heever, 22 Joe Pietersen.
Date: Friday, February 22
Kick-off: 19:10 local (17:10 GMT)
Venue: Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
Referee: Jaco Peyper (South Africa)

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Henrico's Top Teachers – 2012
Profiles of 20 teachers who make a difference
Teachers do not seek out publicity or acclaim for what they do, but we believe they deserve to be recognized for their efforts. In our second annual 'Henrico's Top Teachers' issue, we tell the stories of 20 outstanding Henrico County teachers.
This year's class includes teachers from throughout Henrico County who teach grade levels from preschool through high school and GED. They were nominated – along with more than 200 others – by readers during the month of November.
The volume of nominations received for this section – more than double the number received for last year's inaugural issue – was overwhelming. Nominations came from parents, grandparents, colleagues, administrators – even students and former students. Paring the number of candidates to just 20 was no easy task.
We're proud to present profiles of these teachers, who were selected for inclusion in this issue based on their professional successes and their personal touches. Each one has, in his or her own unique way, touched hundreds of lives and helped mold the future of Henrico County.

Senior students at Glen Allen High School will get a personal touch when studying elections with their AP government teacher.
That teacher, Schuyler VanValkenburg, recently announced his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for the 72nd District seat in the House of Delegates. If he earns the nomination, he will run against Del. Jimmie Massie, R-Henrico, who has been unopposed for 10 years.
VanValkenburg, a 2004 University of Richmond alumnus who majored in history, is running for office for the first time. Although he has lived in Richmond since he began his undergraduate studies, aside from one year spent in Seattle, he said he never felt it was his time to run. > Read more.

ACLU urges McAuliffe to veto anti-immigration bills
By Rodrigo Arriaza and Maura Mazurowski, Capital News Service 02/24/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
Officials with the American Civil Liberties Union called on Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Wednesday to veto Republican-backed legislation banning local governments in Virginia from designating themselves as sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants. They also said they plan to fight federal and state policies that they believe violate immigrants' rights.
At a news conference, representatives of the ACLU of Virginia and other civil rights organizations criticized anti-immigrant measures passed by the General Assembly. They also condemned the recent spike in deportation raids on immigrant communities in Virginia by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as President Donald Trump's recent executive order banning immigrants from seven mostly Muslim countries. > Read more.

Decorating a Living Room
When you begin to design your living room, select a theme. It's easy to get carried away when you have dozens of ideas. While each blast of inspiration could work on its own, they'll almost certainly clash if you try to incorporate them all into one room. Focusing on a specific theme allows you to get the most out of your living room.
Once you've figured out your design style, pick one or two pieces of furniture that fit this chosen theme. Start with sofas or coffee tables, as larger furniture stands out the most. Then, as you continue decorating, you can add rugs, lighting, and chairs to accentuate the design of your living room.

Top College QB's to Watch
by Howard Simon
posted Sep 13 2012 12:00AM
Two years ago I spent most of my Saturdays during the fall watching the top quarterbacks in college. Having seen Trent Edwards be… well…Trent Edwards in the first two games of the season leading to the reins being handed over to Ryan Fitzpatrick, I figured it was a lock the Bills would spend a first or second round pick on a quarterback.
After watching Fitzpatrick look terrible in the season opening loss to the Jets, I got the feeling we'll be talking about who the best signal callers are in college this season and who the Bills should draft next April.
I culled a list of guys to follow from a number of different areas including: Mel Kiper's Big Board, Scouts Inc Top 32 at ESPN.com, Nolan Nawrocki of Pro Football Weekly, Rob Rang's qb rankings at NFLdraftscout.com and WGR's own draft guru, Joe Buscaglia.
The general feeling is there is no Andrew Luck in this year's group(and maybe we should add no RG3) but there is agreement on the top qb available and that would be Matt Barkley from USC. In fact, he may end up being the number one pick overall which is why we have already heard the Bills should either "Barf for Barkley", "Blow for Barkley", or "play flat for Matt."
The 6-2, 230 pound Barkley has size, experience, great stats and has played in a pro style offense for the Trojans. The senior from Newport Beach, California has been a starter since winning the job as a true freshman in 2009.
He has a 64% career completion rate and has thrown for more than 9000 yards to go along with 80 touchdowns and 33 interceptions. His passing TD total has increased every season from 15 to 26 to 39 and his interceptions have decreased every season from 14 to 12 to 7.
One note may make some of you Bills fans nervous. He is a native of California and the last 3 Californians who played that position for the Bills are:Trent Edwards, JP Losman and Rob Johnson.
While Barkley is the consensus number one among qb's, there is no clear 2
best prospect but Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas is high on many of the lists.
Some are suggesting he is a Cam Newton type of player. He's big(6-6, 260), has a strong arm and is a dual threat who can beat you passing or running. His main drawback is a thin resume. Thomas became the starter last season so the redshirt junior had just 14 starts coming into the season.
But in his first season as the Hokies starter, the Lynchburg, Virginia native threw for over 3000 yards, had 19 touchowns and 10 picks. He ran for 469 yards and added 11 TD's on the ground.
Other names of interest include Oklahoma's Landry Jones. Like Barkley, Jones has a ton of experience. He became the starter three games into his freshman season when Sam Bradford went down with an injury.
Jones went on to break Bradford's record for most passing yards by a freshman and Jones will leave Oklahoma as the school's career passing leader. The 6-4, 218 pound native of New Mexico has completed 62% of passes in his career for nearly 13,000 yards with 97 TD's and 42 INT's.
Arkansas' Tyler Wilson became the first Razorback qb ever to be named first team All-SEC when he earned that honor last season. The redshirt senior who stands 6-3 and weighs 220 pounds took over the job when Ryan Mallett left following the 2010 season.
He threw for more than 3600 yards with 24 TD's and only 6 INT's while leading the Hogs to a school record tying 11 wins. Wilson actually began to make a name for himself in Mallett's last season. He came on for an injured Mallett in a game against 7
ranked Auburn(Cam Newton) and in less than three full quarters, he rolled up 323 yards passing with 4 touchdowns.
West Virginia's Geno Smith put up some eye popping numbers last season. He set school and Big East records for passing yards in a season with 4,385. He tied a school record with 31 TD tosses and was picked just 7 times.
In a game against an LSU Tigers team that had one of the nation's best defenses, the 6-3, 220 pound senior from Miami, Florida threw for a school single game record 463 yards on a record 38 completions.
Other names to keep in mind are: Tyler Bray from Tennessee, Georgia's Aaron Murray and EJ Manuel from Florida State.
If you'd like to see some of these players in action on Saturday, here's the rundown:
USC(Barkley) at Stanford 7:30 FOX
Va Tech(Thomas) at Pitt 12:00 ESPNU
Arkansas(Wilson) vs Alabama 3:30 CBS(Wilson was hurt last week so check his status)
Tennessee(Bray) vs Florida 6:00 ESPN
While there isn't an Andrew Luck in the group, it is said to be a deep field but if the Bills are in the market for a quarterback next April, they should probably use their first pick on the position. In the last 5 drafts, 15 quarterbacks were selected in round one and 14 are currently starting, the lone exception being Tim Tebow. There were 7 qb's taken in round 2 and only one(Andy Dalton) has earned a starting job to this point.

Dr. Robyn Barst can still recall her introduction to pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a young doctor working as a clinical fellow in pediatric cardiology. "I remember very, very vividly admitting a 16 year old girl who was diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension," Dr. Barst says. "At that time, there was no therapy for her. I was not on call that night and when I came in the next day I found out she had passed away. I became very interested in pulmonary hypertension. I started reading about what was known about this condition at that time — which was very little."
Over the next 25 years Dr. Barst became one of the true leaders in the field of pulmonary hypertension. Her work has allowed her to contribute to PH research, orchestrate the development of the first pulmonary pediatric center in the world and help patients and their family members face the reality of PH but live each day with hope.
Dr. Barst has also played a significant role in the history of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA). Having served as a Chair of its Scientific Leadership Council and as a member of its Board of Trustees and Corporate Committee, Dr. Barst has been a part of PHA's leadership since its early days. She is also the recipient of PHA's 2008 Award of Excellence in PAH Care. "I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to take care of so many wonderful patients and their families over the years," Dr. Barst says. "Through my work with PHA I have been able to learn so much from all of them. This work has truly become my heart and soul."
In early 2010, Dr. Barst, took steps to make a lasting contribution to the field of pediatric pulmonary hypertension by making a significant contribution to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. This generous gift will be used by PHA to directly fund pediatric PH education and research for the first time. The goal is to build an endowment that will permit continued support for these endeavors. "Over the years we have seen tremendous strides made for the adult pulmonary hypertension community," Dr. Barst says. "Eight drugs are now approved for adults with PH, but currently there are no drugs approved for children, which is long overdue." " Children are not merely 'small' adults."
"This program will educate the next generation of physicians who will be caring for pediatric PH patients," Dr. Barst concluded. "It is my hope that this endowment will lead to the development of more experienced pediatric PH centers, and increase collaboration among physicians and their nurses to ultimately improve the treatment and care for our patients."
