Two employees were honored at the May school board meeting. Iva Wilske was named the teacher of the year and Roma Brotherson was named the support staff person of the year.
Dixie Fielder presented a report to the school board on the comprehensive guidance program at Emery High. She reported if the students pass all of their classes they will have earned 1,190 college credits this year.
Superintendent Kirk Sitterud said there is some concern about concurrent enrollment and the state office of education is redefining eligibility for concurrent enrollment classes which means some courses won't be offered for concurrent enrollment making it more difficult for students. These classes offer vocational career opportunities for students who sometimes don't do well in the traditional classroom setting.
The board was approached by the drill team advisor Kaylynn Cornett on a trip for the officers to Las Vegas from July 22-24. They will attend the Tremaine Dance camp to learn updated routines and techniques. The board approved the trip with the stipulation that the girls travel in a school district suburban. Any parents attending as chaperones will drive their own vehicles. They will learn ballet technique, jazz, lyrical, tap, hip hop, progression and turns as well as choreography, strength and flexibility training and stage makeup.
There are a limited number of trainers in Utah and sometimes they teach the same routines to several different groups.
Sitterud recommended tight supervision of the girls attending and having them and their parents sign a contract that they will obey all the rules outlined by the advisor. If girls are unable to attend, then Sitterud wants to make sure the girl will suffer no negative consequences in regards to their participation on the drill team. Girls attending will include: Krystal Richardson-vice president; Leisha Magnuson-dance drill mistress; McCall Spears-military drill mistress; Kelcy Faimalo-kick drill mistress; Rackelle Larsen-Secretary; and Kara Stilson-president.
The school board approved all of the trustlands committee plans for the local schools. The schools can use the trustlands monies for a variety of supplies and other needed items. The trustlands committees meet and develop a plan for their school on where the money will be spent.
The following personnel hires were approved: Monica Wardle as Cheerleader Advisor at Emery High and Megan Gilbert as a half day English teacher at Emery High.
The school district accepted bids for flooring for Book Cliff, Ferron and Cottonwood elementaries. One bid was received from Affordable Flooring.
Asbestos abatement will also take place at Ferron and Cottonwood. Three bids were received for the asbestos abatement, the low bid was Eagle Environmental testing for $22,780. They have to test five samples for each zone. Each is tested twice at a cost of $100 for each test. So for each zone the total is $1,000. There will be a maximum of four zones tested. Five pre-work samples are taken and five clearance samples. Four zones within the contaminated areas are also tested.
The board approved a lease agreement for school district property in Elmo. One bid was received from Colby Jensen. He will put up fencing. He is going to attempt to grow alfalfa on the property.
Ralph Worthen gave the principal's report for Castle Dale Elementary. "We have a great faculty. They work well together. Great education takes place at Castle Dale Elementary as well as good learning activities." Worthen pointed out a project students recently completed where they drew their bodies to scale and compared them to a baby picture of themselves to see how much they had grown. The students have also been studying maps of the world and learning about different countries. They have sent for travel brochures to learn more.
"Mrs. Jeffs will be retiring and we shall miss her. The district has been involved in a math endorsement class and 23 teachers have been taking the class," said Worthen.
Worthen is a math specialist and the principal from Cottonwood, Dennis Jones is a reading specialist.
"All of our teachers are continuing to learn. The core academy will be held in our district again this summer. We always have the highest percentage of teachers that attend the academy. One year we had over 100 percent attendance. On Aug. 4, 5, 6, there will be 250 people coming here.
"We are still doing buddy reading with Wendy Whittle's class from the high school. These high school students try to be good examples to the young students. We are combining with Cottonwood Elementary on May 19 for a track meet. We recently completed our dance program and Ferron, Huntington, Castle Dale and Cottonwood elementaries all participated in the final program which was held at Cottonwood Elementary. This dance program has been very successful. In a school back east the students were surveyed and they said the dancing was their favorite PE activity," said Worthen.
The superintendent gave his report. He said the Emery district hasn't recommended any school closures due to the flu. The only reason they would consider that would be if absenteeism was high and teachers were out. Schools up north are open again. Anyone with the flu is advised to stay home until symptoms subside. It was noted that some students in the district were afraid to attend school because they didn't want to become sick.
Sitterud recognized the Arch Coal teacher of the year awards. Teri McElprang was a top winner and three other teachers in the district received golden apple recognitions including: Layne Hales, Lori Labrum and Vicki Rasmussen.
The school district received a recognition for excellence in financial reporting and excellence in statistical reporting.
With the budget reductions, Sitterud said he is working with Principal Larry Davis and Athletic Director Todd Jeffs to see where reductions can be made. They will look at reducing travel mileage, because that's where the costs are. Sitterud said they would like a 5-10 percent reduction. But, there has already been a 12 percent reduction in travel over the last four years. This reduction will save EHS $12-$15,000. In some cases they will look at having the boys and girls teams travel together to reduce costs. But, this may increase time out of class. "Emery High will be in a new region next year and there will be some mileage increases with this change in region. We are also adding a swim team and their swim meets will add to the costs," said Sitterud.
Sitterud explained that a state law passed regarding background checks will require that all fingerprints be kept on file. A law passed in 1999 required this take place, but for some reason the fingerprints were not kept. The law reads that all criminals and teachers will have their fingerprints on file. The original cards were apparently not kept because the agency doing the fingerprinting felt it was inappropriate or unethical to keep the cards on file if there was not criminal history shown. That was the reason the original cards are not still available.
Beginning on June 1 of this year any background check for license renewal will include keeping fingerprints on file. By, July 1, 2010, all teachers will be required to have their fingerprints on file and must be refingerprinted before that time. There is a $10 charge for fingerprinting. Also included in the law is that when any licensed educator is arrested for a criminal act the state office of education along with the school district must be notified. The school district will then take the proper steps of putting the educator on a leave of absence and other measures.
The district will begin addressing their mission statement and goal document. This hasn't been done for 15 years and that will be open for input. The goals and direction document needs to be updated.
The school board assigned personnel to attend the graduation ceremonies which will be on May 21. Royd Hatt, Superintendent Sitterud and Sam Singleton will go to Green River. Nanette Tanner, Laurel Johansen, Gwen Callahan and Jed Jensen will attend Emery High graduation.
On May 28 will be a closing social to honor 10 retirees from the Emery district. Funds for this social come from a private fund which district office employees contribute to for special events at no expense to tax payers.
The next school board meeting will be on June 16 at 1 p.m. at the district office in Huntington.

By EUGENE SWALBERGGuest Writer
On Saturday the Green River Pirate track team ventured off into the seemingly winter wonderland of Richfield a profitable, albiet cold and blustery track meet. The team consisted of three girls who either placed in the top four of each event or qualified for the BYU invitational to be held next week.
Kari Mayall in only her second track meet threw the shot put for 25' 06" which will enable her to participate in the coveted invitational. She now needs to either place in the top three at region or throw 29+ feet to compete at State.
Sarah Swalberg took third place in the shot put with a throw of 30' even, which qualifies her for the invitational plus a chance to compete at State. Sarah also took second place in the Javelin with a throw of 108'.
Lindsey Spadafora competed in the long jump taking fourth overall with a jump of 15' 03". Lindsey and Sarah are proving to be very competitive in the 1A category and are holding their own against the larger 2A and 3A teams.

Norton issued two singles through Modern, the second of which appeared on their RPM subsidiary. The RPM sides "Jumpin' Blues/Black Gal" are presented here as issued, as is "Little Boy Blues", from one side of the debut outing, but "Now Tell Me Baby" appears as an alternate version. Horton cut a total of 13 sides for Modern at Sam Phillips studio in Memphis, all of which are presented here. A cut from Jim Lockhart, recorded about the same time at Phillip studio is added as are two sides from the little known Alfred 'Blue King' Harris. These were probably recorded on an early 50s field trip to the south and fit musically with the rest of the selections.

Richard Gill - 20/08/2006
The play examines the deconstruction of the infatuation with celebrity and the cult of celebrity requires sacrifices. Les Dennis stars as a writer of a smash hit TV hospital soap opera. Mike McShane is the director and Jeremy Edwards is the star of the show. The script was weak and unfunny. Les Dennis was OK in a role that suited his talents. Due to his improvisational skills, Mike McShane delivered the best performance. The mainstream comedy play is a bit of a mess but the performances are OK

This time I got it right so mod's delete the other one posted in the One Piece section.
Here's Aohige_AP summary.
Barto considers Zoro a first mate
The silk-hat-masked-gunman is named Gladius
Chapter 723 Change of plans
Caribou swallowed the factory whole. The revolutionaries cheers at the "Gaburu the hero"
Sanji says he should be the one to save Nami, I mean I know she'd want me to be the one to save her!
Zoro lets him. Sanji hands Kinemon a map to the Toy's house where his comrade should be, and denden mushi to contact everyone once they find Luffy.
Kin and Zoro stands at the gate of the Colosseum, wondering how to get in.
Zoro wants to just slice the gate open, which Kin stops.
Bartolomeo watches Zoro, crying in joy to see one of his heroes there.
He calls Zoro the right-hand man of Luffy, and a first mate (at least to him he is)
Meanwhile at the palace...
Gladius is shaking himself in anger over the betrayal of Violet.
The original plan to capture Sanji and gain intel on their plan has been ruined.
Baby 5 tells him to calm down before he explodes, as Gladius' silk hat expands like a baloon.
The hat bursts, revealing Vegeta.... I mean Super Saiyan 2 Goku.... I mean
Whatever, you know the hair style. Lol.
He wonders if Violet was up to something since the day before, as with her abilities she should have spotted the Straw Hat ship much earlier
Sanji and Violet rides a toy horse as they rush forward
Violet's Sennrigan (literally a Japanese/Chinese mythical ability to see a thousand miles) ability allows her to see 4000km in all direction, with no hindrance by obstacles.
(I hope Oda meant 4000m, cause km is freakin OP lol)
He asks her if she plans to stay in the country, but when she was about to reply... she sees a lightning falling on the Sunny
At Sunny...
Jora is toasted from Nami's lightning.
As the group decides to follow Law's direction and head to Green Bit, Jora tells them the straw hats should be all taken out by now due to Violet's scheme.
At GB
Law asks Dofla if he's a Celestial Dragon, but Dofla replies he "used to be".
He answers cryptically, asking what is a "blood line"? what is "fate"? There can't be very many people with odd twist of fate as he...
He tells Law he'd tell his life story over a bottle of booze, but alas we don't have such time.
He needs to go take care of the Straw Hats in Dressrosa. Dofla says he realizes how many have fallen due to underestimating them.
Fujitora tells Dofla he heard a lightning fall out in the ocean. And it sure ain't cloudy today.
Law realizes from that conversation that it must be Nami, so his ride must be here.
CC asks Dofla to have his heart back, but Law tells him "who told you I gave you Ceasar's heart?"
Dofla squeezes it, and a random marine screams in pain.
Law creates a ROOM so big it covers half of GB, and tells Fujitora you better keep up that gravity, cuz' I'm out of here.
He then shambles himself with a boulder, which crumbles under Fujitora's gravity weight.
Law grabs CC and uses teleport to run. Dofla chases after Law.
Meanwhile Nami and co are swimming through the Fighting Fish territory, and being attacked.
Law runs to the bridge with Ceasar, he plans to teleport Ceaser to the ship, and fight Dofla on the bridge himself.
Dofla realizes Law's plans, and switches direction to the ship!
He flies through the air to head straight for the ship as Nami & co shudders in fear: We're dooooooomed!
Sanji flies across the air with Sky Walk, and delivers a kick to Dofla, warning him to stay away from his crew.
Dofla smiles, complimenting that a strong looking adversary has come.
and "Gravity". Yeap.
It's plainly stated so we can STFU about it. :p

Some of the simplest computing devices made and sold are aids to counting. From ancient to early modern times, scribes performing calculations moved small stones or metal tokens along lines. More recently, mechanical counters have been widely used to count crowds and objects, and as parts of machines.
In the nineteenth century, several inventors patented mechanical counters. Patent models surviving in the Mathematics Collections at the National Museum of American History suggest the range of their concerns. Paul Stillman in 1854 and Daniel Davies and Edward Wright in 1876 patented improvements in rotary measures, such as were used in revolution counters for steam engines. In 1874, Alexander Atkinson patented a counting register to help track quantities of grain. As the amount of leisure time available to Americans increased, three inventors around 1880 saw fit to patent counters to keep score in games.
By the turn of the century, mechanical revolution counters were incorporated in laboratory apparatus, in factories using engines, in distance measures such as odometers, and in cash registers. Americans manufactured them and imported them from abroad. Government offices bought and made counters to compile statistics, and employers used them to figure out the bills and coins they needed to meet payroll. Of course counters were incorporated in a wide range of vehicles and meters. Handheld counters are used to this day to count people entering and leaving buildings and on public transit.
D. Baxandall, rev, J. Pugh, Calculating Machines and Instruments, London: Science Museum, 1975, p. 66.
Examples of counting tokens are in the Smithsonian's National Numismatics collection.
"Counters - Introduction" showing 2 items.
Rotary Measure, U.S. Patent Office Model
- Description
- This small U.S. Patent Office model for a counter has the shape of an old-fashioned door key, with a dial protruding from the middle. A screw attached to a nozzle links to a shaft and rotates the dial. The edge of this dial is divided into 100 parts, which are labeled by 10s. A fixed pointer screwed to the middle of the dial indicates its reading. A second nozzle is tied to the object. The object illustrates the patent for "An Improvement in Rotary Devices" (#182,177) taken out by Daniel Davis Jr. and Edward Wright on September 12, 1876. There is no patent model tag.
- Daniel Davis Jr. (1844-1919) was the son of Massachusetts instrument maker Daniel Davis (1813-1887). The elder Davis retired from Boston to his home town of Princeton, Mass., in 1852 to farm. Some time after 1870, the younger Daniel Davis moved to Worcester, where he worked as a brass founder and took out a patent for water filters with one Benaiah Fitts.
- Edward Wright was born in New York around 1834. He patented an improvement in pickers for looms in September 1867. He received another patent for improvement in self-acting mules for spinning in February 1870. In September 1876 Wright and Davis received the U.S. patent for improvement in rotary measures for which this object is the model.. Both men were then living in Worcester.

High Speed Indicator, a Revolution Counter
- Description
- To count revolutions of the shafts that ran machinery, engineers used counters like this one. The manufacturer, L. S. Starrett Company of Athol , Mass., called the device a speed indicator, although it has no timekeeping apparatus. The steel counter has a flat handle on one side and a rotating cylindrical rod on the other. In between is a flat curved case on which a dial is mounted. Pressing the rod against a rotating shaft rotates it and advances the dial. The edge of the dial is divided into 100 equal parts, which are numbered from 10 to 100 by tens. Two different nozzles fit into the far end of the cylinder. The instrument fits in a red, white, and black paper box.
- A mark on the dial reads: THE L. S. STARRETT CO. (/) ATHOL, MASS. U.S.A. Another mark there reads: PAT. APR.13.97 (/) MAR.28.05
- This counter is one of the many inventions of Laroy Starrett (1836-1922), who was born and raised on a farm in Maine. In 1880, having successfully patented and sold a meat chopper, as well as shoe studs and hooks, Starrett established a business in Athol, Mass., to sell drawing instruments and small tools. He applied for a patent for a speed indicator in 1895, and received it in 1897.
- Stafford P. Walsh of San Francisco, Ca., improved on the instrument, assigning his patent to L. S. Starrett Company when it was granted March 28, 1905. The device sold in at least three models. This is No. 104, which was particularly intended for high speeds. It was sold both directly by Starrett and through distributors of tools and steam engine equipment. This speed indicator is mentioned in Starrett catalogues into the 1930s.

The proxy server provides access to most licensed resources. However, some programs do not work with the proxy server. These require VPN for off-campus use: ARTstor (Macintosh only), JSTOR (Mac OS X), Luna Insight, the java client in UC Image Service, Loeb Classical Library Online, and the Connect function in EndNote.
Another difference is that the proxy server requires a one-time change in your web browser settings, then prompts you when you need to log in. VPN is a "client" software program that you download and install on your computer. You must run the VPN client each time you want to use licensed resources.
When should I use the proxy server or VPN?
Most electronic resources are licensed by The Library from companies in business for profit. The terms of our contracts with these companies stipulate that The Library allow only UC faculty, students and staff to use these materials.
Consequently, when you are off campus you will not be able to access many of the online journals and databases that you could access while on campus, unless you use the Library proxy server or Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Note: For technical and contractual reasons there may be some resources that are not accessible from off campus at all.
Who can use VPN?
To download and run the VPN software, you must be a current UC Berkeley student, faculty, or staff member with a CalNet ID.
Persons not affiliated with UC Berkeley cannot use the VPN system, but can use licensed electronic resources via public computers in the libraries. For more information, see connect from off-campus.
What is VPN?
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is software that runs on your off-campus computer. After you log in with your CalNet ID and passphrase, VPN establishes a secure "tunnel" to the UC Berkeley network. When you use a VPN connection, your computer will have a UC Berkeley IP address instead of the one normally supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This allows you to use article databases, electronic journals, and other licensed resources found through the Library website and catalogs.
How do I find a dissertation from UC Berkeley?
The ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database indexes graduate dissertations from over a thousand graduate school and universities, and includes full-text access to dissertations published since 1997. The database also includes full-text dissertations from the University of California from:
- September 1962 - December 1970 and
- December 1975 - present
If you can't find a specific UC Berkeley dissertation on ProQuest, go to OskiCat and choose to limit your search to "Dissertations/Theses" using the dropdown on the far right of the search page:
If you're not on campus, and you are not a UC Berkeley student, faculty or staff member, you may be able to access UC Berkeley dissertations for a fee from ProQuest's Dissertation Express or, for items in our collection, using our photoduplication services.
See also: all electronic dissertation and thesis resources at UC Berkeley.
What do I do when asked to log into the proxy server within a resource that uses frames?
If authentication becomes necessary while you are working with a resource that uses frames, the login form will be displayed within one of the resource's frames. Generally this is no problem, but sometimes it is displayed in a short or narrow frame where it is hard to read.
You can usually adjust the dimensions of the frame by dragging its boundaries with the mouse. Alternately, you can use your "Tab" key to move from one field to another within that frame.

For narrow feet
"I purchased two pairs (pink and black) of these shoes for my 15 y/o daughter. They are extremely cute shoes. After reading reviews on another site about the shoe running small, I decided to go up to a 8.5 from her usual size 8. However, she immediately complained about her big toe not having enough room. Also, she has a wider than normal foot but doesn't require wide shoes. But the sides of her feet seemed to be running out of the shoes. Therefore, I would deem these to be pretty narrow."

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The 88th Academy Awards have come and gone, so let's recap.
'Still Alice'
Starring: Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin
Directed by: Richard Glatzer, Wash Westmoreland
Last weekend, the Golden Globes showered "Boyhood" (available now on VOD) with the lion's share of awards. Best Supporting Actress went to Patricia Arquette, Best Director (Drama) went to Richard Linklater and Best Drama went to the movie. It was quite a night for the Texas filmmaker's grand experiment, as he has called it.
Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations are out, and the Academy Award nominations will be announced Jan. 16, so now is the time to catch all the nominated films still in theaters or coming soon.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Marlies Lose 4-2 to Abbotsford
Jeff Veillette
March 09 2013 04:07PM
For the Toronto Marlies, games like today's are ones you're expected to feast on, but actually dread. Yes, the struggling Abbotsford Heat had won just 1 of 11 games leading up to today. It sounds advantageous, but stats like that lead to taking games too easily, while the struggling opponents have an extra sense in urgency. Sure enough, that was the case here tonight, as the blue and white dropped this one 4-2.
The Marlies actually started this game on top; while their first powerplay was unsuccessful, a mistake by Danny Taylor lead to Greg Scott having a gimmie rebound in front of the net to give Toronto an early lead. This lasted just three minutes, however, as former Leafs prospect fired a wrist shot off of Paul Ranger's stick and past Drew MacIntyre to tie the game.
The second period saw Abbotsford take the lead as Dylan Yeo sat in the box, firing a slapshot off the post and in from the hashmarks. It was one of two one timer goals by the Heat in this period, as just five minutes later, Akim Aliu came streaking into the slot to put home his second of the year. Toronto took four penalties leading to powerplays in this period alone, so it's not a surprise that Abbotsford had control of the flow. That said, if there was any victory for the team tonight, it involved fists, as Carter Ashton took down Greg Nemisz late in the period.
The third period went by quickly, but not without a bit more action. Carter Bancks widened the gap to 4-1 just two minutes in, and Danny Taylor stayed calm in net as Toronto peppered him with shots, though Joe Colborne tipped a Simon Gysbers point shot to give the Marlies a second goal in the final minute.
Other Notes
- I'm finally confident with saying that Jake Gardiner is ready to play with the Leafs again. We've seen a couple consecutive weeks of improvement back to form, and today, whie he was a -1, he showed that he's comfortable with playing in the corners again. As well, he continues to get back to actuallly shooting the puck, and has variety in his passing outlets. Basically, the stuff we knew and loved him for on the big club (minus the shooting, which was a recent pleasent surprise that people were hoping would carry over).
- Drew MacIntyre wasin't going to stay invisible forever, as today's game was his first with a sub-0.900 save percentage. It's not hard to come to his defence tonight, though - two goals were high quality one timers, and one came off his own defender's stick. But still, not an overwhelmingly impressive game by him. I wouldn't be shocked if Jussi Rynnas is given the start tomorow.
- Paul Ranger lead the team with 3 shots.
- Jesse Blacker was out of the lineup today. No confirmation one way or the other, but with his stellar play of late, it's safe to assume he was out with an injury.
- Jerry D'Amigo was far from reckless, but with tripping and high sticking penalties against him in the second period, he may want to watch his stick.
- Never underestimate a Toronto team's ability to snap the slumps of their opponents.
- Attendance was 5252.
- Tomorrow sees the Marlies face off against the Peoria Rivermen. Get your "Bus ride..." jokes ready for 3PM.

Historic specimens from the mainland coast exhibit a greater range of intrashell variability (i.e. 180–240 14C yr) than archaeological specimens from Daisy Cave on San Miguel Island (i.e. 120 14C yr in both shells). δ13C and δ18O profiles are in general agreement with the upwelling of deep ocean water depleted in 14C as a determinant of local marine reservoir correction (ΔR) in the San Miguel Island samples. Upwelling cycles are difficult to identify in the mainland specimens, where intrashell variations in 14C content may be a complex product of oceanic mixing and periodic seasonal inputs of 14C-depeleted terrestrial runoff. Though the mechanisms controlling ΔR at subannual to annual scales are not entirely clear, the fluctuations represent significant sources of random dating error in marine environments, particularly if a small section of shell is selected for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating. For maximum precision and accuracy in AMS dating of marine shells, we recommend that archaeologists, paleontologists, and 14C lab personnel average out these variations by sampling across multiple increments of growth. 447916 bytes application/pdf en_US Arizona Board of Regents Intrashell Radiocarbon Variability in Marine Mollusks Article

Archaeologists working on the Northern Channel Islands of California have use changing frequency of radiocarbon-dated components through time as a proxy for demographic change (e.g., Arnold 1992; Erlandson et al. 2001; Glassow 1999). Fluctuations in the number of dated components have been interpreted as demographic changes in response to climatic instability, introduction of disease, or social transformation (Arnold 1992; Erlandson et al. 2001; Kennett and Kennett 2000; Kennett 2005), assuming a correlation between the number of dated components and population size (see Rick 1997). To what extent are these shifts caused by fluctuations in the calibration curve? Here we model the regular creation of datable archaeological carbon to explore the effect of variable atmospheric 14C production calibrated component frequencies, focusing on the last 2000 cal BP. We show that some periods are likely to systematically over- or underestimate the number components present when intercepts are used to organize 14C databases for demographic analyses. 1275607 bytes application/pdf en_US Radiocarbon demography Calibration Santa Barbara Channel Islands Demographic Artifacts of the Radiocarbon Calibration Curve: Implications for Identifying Mechanisms of Social Transformation Presentation

Drew LeRoy accepted the award for business of the year from Orangeville for Food Ranch. LeRoy said he grew up in Huntington and after college worked at Associated Foods in Salt Lake for 10 years. During this time he wanted to come home so he talked to Marion Jensen who owned the Thrif-T Market in Huntington and she said they have decided to keep the store for their family, but suggested that LeRoy look for a location in Orangeville. LeRoy located a metal horse barn in Orangeville and convinced the owner to sell to him to begin a grocery store. Since locating in Orangeville, the Food Ranch has undergone two expansion projects. LeRoy said as a business owner in Emery County 12-14 hour days are normal. He views the customers at Food Ranch as its greatest asset. LeRoy said he loves the opportunity to work and live in Emery County and appreciates the support he has received from county residents in the operation of his business.
LeRoy believes it is a challenge to local businesses to educate the customers on the benefits of shopping at home. If local people support local businesses then the money spent will stay in the county and be spent many times over. Local businesses will be able to hire more people, if they receive more support. "Emery County is a great place to live and do business," said LeRoy.

How Best Buy is handling e-commerce foreshadows the future of other chain retailers.
There's an old saying first coined during the Civil War: "So goes Maine, so goes the nation." To update that phrase for e-commerce: "So goes Best Buy online, so goes chain retailing."
Best Buy, No. 11 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, reported its third quarter earnings yesterday and the results mirrored what's happening with lots of chains these days: web sales are rising sharply, total revenue is up modestly, and, as more consumers shift their shopping to online from stores, bricks-and-mortar locations are being closed.
What's happening with Best Buy and the e-commerce update CEO Brian Dunn gave to Wall Street analysts on the company's third quarter earnings call, is a harbinger of what's to come in 2012 for a lot of other chains—big and otherwise.
Yesterday Dunn told analysts that in order to remain competitive Best Buy in the third quarter took a $150 million pre-tax restructuring charge to close 11 full-scale stores in the United Kingdom. That's on top of a previously announced 10% reduction in floor space for its network of 1,425 U.S. stores, a move that will eventually save Best Buy up to $80 million annually.
But at the same time Best Buy is reducing its physical space, online sales in the third quarter were up by 20%, and 30% for November, although Dunn didn't break out sales in dollars. "We have a target to double our online business in the next three to five years, and our third quarter online sales were a significant driver of the quarter's total comp growth," Dunn told analysts.
Dunn's comments reflect the fact the web is now the most important channel going forward for chain retailers. Best Buy is a prime example of how retail chains run by corporate managers that rose through the ranks based on their ability to successfully manage stores are coming to grips with the reality that more of their future sales are beginning—and ending—online. What that means as the New Year approaches is this: There are going to be a lot more chains closing stores and looking to grow their e-commerce channel.
I single out Best Buy because they are moving faster than many other chains to build their web sales. They also are being very prudent in what they are doing to grow their online channel—and use the web to drive better store sales.
Consider these facts Dunn disclosed yesterday:
Best Buy sees the future and it's clearly online—the company has an aggressive goal of becoming a $4 billion web merchant within five years from about $2.5 billion in 2010. So if Best Buy is successful in closing underperforming stores, prudent in how it runs and manages Best Buy Mobile—a network of 263 smaller specialty stores that sell only mobile phones or other devices, plans and accessories—and growing e-commerce, it will successfully make the leap from a store-driven to an Internet-driven organization.
If a big chain like Best Buy can make the transition other chains will follow. If they don't, look for more bankruptcy filings among the ranks of chain retailers and a lot more "space available" signs coming to malls and strip centers near you.

Denim Therapy can fix a lot of your problems, but not all of them. Apparently, it's true! If you're a dude and you wear super tight jeans, you may want to go up one size. The latest reports suggests men can suffer from "twisted testicles" if they engage in extremely tight pant-wearing.
Medical experts, including UK television personality Dr. Hilary Jones, have reported an increase in injuries being caused by tight jeans, cites The Telegraph on Wednesday. "The trendy denims are causing twisted testicles, bladder weakness, and even urinary tract infections."
Gents, read up and give your balls a break! (Tee-hee) Also, someone please tell Conan to put his jeggings on the shelf for good.

Honourable Minister Anderson, President of the Governing Council of UNEP, Honourable Ministers, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to Nairobi, the Environmental Capital of the World and welcome to the 22nd session of the UNEP Governing Council. It is a particular pleasure to welcome you shortly after the conclusion of a widely acclaimed, democratic and transparent election process that has brought with it a new wind of optimism and hope.
We begin our work today in a difficult and uncertain international environment. We continue to face the risks of accelerating environmental degradation as well as the challenge of minimizing the risks of globalization while taking advantage of the opportunities.
However we are meeting at a time of great opportunity. The international community as a whole has now defined a comprehensive agenda for sustainability, development and equity in a series of landmark processes. The outcome of the Doha meeting of the World Trade Organization provides us with an important opportunity to ensure the mutual supportiveness of trade, environment and development. The Monterrey Summit on financing for development gives us a new and dynamic perspective on financing and international cooperation. The outcome of the World Summit on Sustainable Development provides us with an implementation centered road map for the sustainability of the planet, and the conferences on least developed countries and Small Island states gives us a convincing basis to address the serious problems of the most vulnerable amongst us.
All these development taken together define our central challenge of achieving sustainable development and responsible prosperity for all. This is the new horizon for the world community. The demand for implementation that will lead us to this new horizon must begin with us here today.
We meet for the first time as the Governing Council of UNEP since the Johannesburg Summit. We have with us the strong support and impetus the Summit provided to UNEP. We also have the full endorsement of the Summit for the thorough process of International Environmental Governance and the hard work undertaken by the Intergovernmental Group of Ministers established by the Governing Council two years ago.
We are now equipped with a comprehensive and coherent regime of international environmental law, we have a comprehensive body of policy guidance for environment and sustainable development, and most importantly, the outcome of the Johannesburg Summit, and we have succeeded in clarifying and strengthening international environmental governance arrangements. Our challenge and historic responsibility today is to begin the process of implementation and change. The world community expects no less.
All our work on global environmental assessment has confirmed that the crushing burden world's population together with over-consumption and wasteful use of resources by the rich are two fundamental drivers of environmental degradation. A successful environmental strategy must take account of this relationship and the need for a capacity building initiative for developing countries. Our discussions on support to Africa and NEPAD provide us with a concrete opportunity to address this question.
We must match our work in addressing poverty and the environment with sustainable patterns of consumption and production. These are the linkages that must be addressed at this session in order to meet the theme of the Johannesburg Summit of "Responsible Prosperity for All". If we allow these unsustainable gaps to continue unchecked, the very basis of our future will be undermined.
Sound environmental action must be based on a sound scientific knowledge base. Our GEO process has made great progress but the implementation of the recommendation of Cartagena, particularly on the Intergovernmental Panel on Global Environmental Change hold even greater promise for the future. One year after Cartagena, we must decide on how we strengthen this capacity. Particularly in the context of this International Year of Freshwater, we need to radically increase our ability to monitor and map environmental change as a basis to avoid conflict and enable international cooperation on an informed basis.
At this session we must also harness the potential of the rapid advances in technology for the benefit of the global environment. We must ensure that advances in bio engineering and genetic modification are implemented in a safe and equitable manner to ensure that the potential of disastrous consequences for developing countries is avoided in line with a precautionary approach.
We must also address the opportunity that the Doha outcomes provides to ensure that trade and environment are mutually supportive and that the benefits of trade liberalization and globalization are shared with the poor. It was Prime Minister Tony Blair following the tragedy of September 11, who reminded us that if globalization only served the rich it would not succeed but only multiply the risks and division along us.
At this session, we must also use the opportunity of constructive dialogue based on clear information to reduce old tension and find new solutions. This is the context in which we should approach the conclusion of our study on the environmental situation in the occupied territories in Palestine.
At the end of the last millennium, the Secretary General presented his vision of the United Nations in his Seminal report entitled "We The Peoples". In this world characterized by increasing tensions. Conflict and growing inequality which poses dramatic risks to our common future, we have to define our contribution to the unifying call of "We The Peoples".
This year will be the largest ever assembly of nations and delegates in the history of the UNEP Governing Council. Over 160 countries have confirmed they will participate. We expect over 100 Ministers or Secretaries of Environment to attend and well over 1,200 delegates and observers from all parts of society to be with us. Of the 53 African nations, 49 will participate with more than 40 at the Ministerial level. We consider this not only a vote of confidence, but a compelling realization in all countries of the importance of our agenda. It is all the more important that we organize our time effectively and concentrate on the most important issues.
Let us go forward together, today and establish the concrete basis of implementation that will take us to our new horizon of hope.
Thank you.

Senior Adult Course Registration
While the fee structure for classes held at the senior centers and those senior adult classes held at the Arnold campus are the same, registration for the Arnold campus courses is different.
Registration for Senior Adult Courses Held on the Arnold Campus
Seniors and disabled retirees can register now for spring courses, held at the Arnold campus. These classes are listed in the Noncredit Schedule of Classes and follow the same registration dates as all other noncredit open enrollment classes. You can register online, by fax, mail or in person.
Registration for Courses
Held at the Senior Centers
You can register for courses at the senior centers now. Or online, by fax, mail, or in person at the Continuing Education registration counter in CALT 115 on the Arnold Campus. Visit www.aacc.edu/noncredit. For questions about registration, please contact the School of Continuing Education Instructional Support Center at 410-777-2325 or email@example.com.
Senior courses are for individuals age 55 and older as well as disabled retirees certified by the Social Security Administration. Disabled retirees must complete a Disability Verification Form which is available through the AACC business office and at most senior centers. Yearly verification is required.
Students ages 55-59 must pay $40 tuition per course plus an $80 administrative fee per three-month cycle (cycle fee). Seniors ages 60 and older and disabled retirees pay only the $80 cycle fee, as well as for supplies and lab fees. Course cycles (similar to terms) are January-March, April-June, July-September and October-December.

This Quiz has 5 questions.0% complete
Are you ready to actually apply for federal jobs?
Many first-time federal job seekers do not realize that there is more than one federal resume builder website where jobs are posted for various agencies.

Note: if you want an Army Civilian position, you MUST submit your resume on the Army website. Also, remember that just because your resume is posted on a federal jobs website, you have not necessarily APPLIED FOR A JOB. The actually applying for the job is usually a 2nd or 3rd step. Read the directions on "How to Apply" in the vacancy announcement.
This quiz was designed by Kathryn Troutman, author of the best-selling, award-winning, Ten Steps to a Federal Job, 2nd Edition, which will help you put your very best foot forward in your federal job search.

In a natural base containing lemon bioflavonoids, rutin, hesperidin, acerola cherry, rose hips, papaya, green pepper extract and black currant concentrate. Nature's Plus Orange Juice C comes in vegetarian friendly tablets. Nature's Plus Orange Juice C is also gluten, yeast, wheat, soy, milk, artificial color, preservative and common allergen free. Vitamin CVitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that has a number of biological functions. Where is it found?Broccoli, red peppers, currants, Brussels sprouts, parsley, potatoes, citrus fruit, and strawberries are good sources of vitamin C. Who is likely to be deficient?Although scurvy (severe vitamin C deficiency) is uncommon in Western societies, many doctors believe that most people consume less than optimal amounts. Fatigue, easy bruising, and bleeding gums are early signs of vitamin C deficiency that occur long before frank scurvy develops. Smokers have low levels of vitamin C and require a higher daily intake to maintain normal vitamin C levels. Women with preeclampsia have been found to have lower blood levels of vitamin C than women without the condition. Women who have lower blood levels of vitamin C have an increased risk of gallstones. People with kidney failure have an increased risk of vitamin C deficiency. However, people with kidney failure should take vitamin C only under the supervision of a doctor. How much is usually taken?The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin C in nonsmoking adults is 75 mg per day for women and 90 mg per day for men. For smokers, the RDAs are 110 mg per day for women and 125 mg per day for men. Most clinical vitamin C studies have investigated the effects of a broad range of higher vitamin C intakes (100–1,000 mg per day or more), often not looking for (or finding) the "optimal" intake within that range. In terms of heart disease prevention, as little as 100–200 mg of vitamin C appears to be adequate. Although some doctors recommend 500–1,000 mg per day or more, additional research is needed to determine whether these larger amounts are necessary. Some vitamin C experts propose that adequate intake be considered 200 mg per day because of evidence that the cells of the human body do not take up any more vitamin C when larger daily amounts are used. Some scientists have recommended that healthy people take multi-gram amounts of vitamin C for the prevention of illness. However, little or no research supports this point of view and it remains controversial. Supplementing more results in an excretion level virtually identical to intake, meaning that consuming more vitamin C does not increase the amount that remains in the body. On the basis of extensive analysis of published vitamin C studies, researchers at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University have called for the RDA to be increased, but only to 120 mg. This same report reveals that ". . . 90–100 mg vitamin C per day is required for optimum reduction of chronic disease risk in nonsmoking men and women." Thus, the multiple gram amounts of vitamin C taken by many healthy people may be superfluous. The studies that ascertained approximately 120–200 mg daily of vitamin C is correct for prevention purposes in healthy people have typically not investigated whether people suffering from various diseases can benefit from larger amounts. In the case of the common cold, a review of published trials found that amounts of 2 grams per day in children appear to be more effective than 1 gram per day in adults, suggesting that large intakes of vitamin C may be more effective than smaller amounts, at least for this condition. Are there any side effects or interactions?Some people develop diarrhea after as little as a few grams of vitamin C per day, while others are not bothered by ten times this amount. Strong scientific evidence to define and defend an upper tolerable limit for vitamin C is not available. A review of the available research concluded that high intakes (2–4 grams per day) are well-tolerated by healthy people. However, intake of large amounts of vitamin C can deplete the body of copper—an essential nutrient. People should be sure to maintain adequate copper intake at higher intakes of vitamin C. Copper is found in many multivitamin-mineral supplements. Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron and should be avoided by people with iron overload diseases (e.g., hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis). Vitamin C helps recycle the antioxidant, vitamin E. It is widely (and mistakenly) believed that mothers who consume large amounts of vitamin C during pregnancy are at risk of giving birth to an infant with a higher-than-normal requirement for the vitamin. The concern is that the infant could suffer "rebound scurvy," a vitamin C deficiency caused by not having this increased need met. Even some medical textbooks have subscribed to this theory. In fact, however, the concept of "rebound scurvy" in infants is supported by extremely weak evidence. Since the publication in 1965 of the report upon which this mistaken notion is based, millions of women have consumed high amounts of vitamin C during pregnancy and not a single new case of rebound scurvy has been reported. A preliminary study found that people who took 500 mg per day of vitamin C supplements for one year had a greater increase in wall thickness of the carotid arteries (vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain) than those who did not take vitamin C. Thickness of carotid artery walls is an indicator of progression of atherosclerosis. Currently, no evidence supports a cause-and-effect relationship for the outcome reported in this study. The vast preponderance of research suggests either a protective or therapeutic effect of vitamin C for heart disease, or no effect at all. People with the following conditions should consult their doctor before supplementing with vitamin C: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, iron overload (hemosiderosis or hemochromatosis), history of kidney stones, or kidney failure. It has been suggested that people who form calcium oxalate kidney stones should avoid vitamin C supplements, because vitamin C can be converted into oxalate and increase urinary oxalate. Initially, these concerns were questioned because of potential errors in the laboratory measurement of oxalate. However, using newer methodology that rules out this problem, recent evidence shows that as little as 1 gram of vitamin C per day can increase the urinary oxalate levels in some people, even those without a history of kidney stones. In one case, 8 grams per day of vitamin C led to dramatic increases in urinary oxalate excretion and kidney stone crystal formation causing bloody urine. People with a history of kidney stones should consult a doctor before taking large amounts (1 gram or more per day) of supplemental vitamin C. Despite possible therapeutic effects of vitamin C in people with diabetes at lower intakes, one case of increased blood sugar levels was reported after taking 4.5 grams per day. Are there any drug interactions?Certain medicines may interact with vitamin C.

In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has used Nature's Plus' facility to illustrate how a manufacturing operation of this caliber should be run. The entire building is temperature controlled with elaborate, finely tuned air conditioning and dehumidifying systems. To prevent cross-contamination of ingredients, dust collectors have been installed at strategic points throughout the facility. All personnel wear protective clothing, gloves and hats to prevent any physical contact with raw materials and finished products. Every precaution is taken to ensure the highest level of quality and purity. Each raw material scheduled for use in production is precisely weighed by Nature's Plus' pharmacy and released into the "Mixing" area. There, high-speed ribbon blenders uniformly compound the ingredients without altering particle size. A preliminary batch of 500 tablets or capsules is produced and immediately analyzed for weight variation, disintegration, friability, hardness, thickness and organoleptic characteristics. With the laboratory's final approval, assuring that every formula exceeds USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) and NF (National Formulary) specifications, the finished product is released to "Bulk Packaging." There, it is sealed in airtight containers and shipped to Nature's Plus' packaging plants in Melville, New York, and Long Beach, California. Energy To GoAfter the extensive manufacturing process, Nature's Plus products are received at Nature's Plus' distribution and packaging centers where, once again, they are quarantined.

View All Slides:
There's a reason "Darte Un Beso" is currently topping the Billboard Latin Charts -- the catchy, summery tune has us dreaming of beaches in the Dominican Republic. (even in the dead of winter!) The song racked up over a 100 million views on YouTube, making it one of the most popular Latin tracks of the year.
Bruno Mars is Billboard's Artist of 2013, partly due to sexy hits like "Gorilla."
Selena's catchy track "Come And Get It" was the only thing we listened to all summer long.
Pitbull knows how to party, so when he releases a dance track with Ke$ha, you know it's going to be the ultimate dance song of the year.
Everyone knows Enrique Iglesias can write a damn sexy love song, but he outdid himself in 2013 with his newest hit "Heart Attack."
This song racked up an impressive 127 million views on YouTube, and once you watch, you'll understand why...
The ladies of Fifth Harmony had a huge year, releasing multiple hit tracks. We couldn't stop listening to "Miss Movin' On", a feisty track about embracing your independence.
Marc Anthony really showed off his singing chops in the Spanish adaption of "C'est La Vie" by Khaled.
Demi Lovato shook up the charts in 2013 with multiple hit singles, including "Neon Lights" and "Heart Attack." Our favorite, though, was the heartfelt summer jam "Made In The USA".
Both Romeo and Enrique are known for their sultry ballads, so when the two collaborated on "Loco", we knew the song would be dripping with sex appeal.
Christina Aguilera collaborated with a relatively unknown band, A Great Big World, on this hauntingly beautiful ballad that became a fall listening go-to.
We couldn't help but be concered when we found out that Wisin and Yandel (of Wisin y Yandel) were going their separate ways to focus on solo careers. But, Yandel set our nerves to rest when he released this catchy tune.
One of the official song's of the 2014 World Cup, "La Copa De Todos" features Wisin, Paty Cantú, and David Correy. This song will be on repeat on our iPods until the World Cup ends next summer!
Our Feburary cover girl Becky G made waves in 2013 when she released "Becky From The Block", a reimagining of the original JLO hit. But, Becky G really proved she's something completely new when she rapped and sang in her hit "Play It Again."
Jennifer Lopez proved, once again, that she's the queen of Latin dance music with her track "Live It Up."

Collected 570 lbs of food for local food bank (May 2007)
"Kids and families should not go hungry because they are poor, so this was a way for me to help a lot of people at once."
"We got a lot of attention for the drive just by hanging posters in the school and by word of mouth. Everyone pitched in once they knew what it was for."
"I already had confidence and courage but training gave me more! I like helping other women become safer by teaching them self-defense skills. Plus it's fun pounding the guy in the 'red man suit' (protective gear worn by simulated attacker in full contact SHARP training)."
"Mr. C has taught me so much and I am proud and honored to pass his lessons on to other students. He is passionate about helping people and I respect that a great deal."
