According to an annual report released by the State of Utah and the Community Action Partnership of Utah, Emery County has only experienced a one percent increase in the number of individuals living in poverty, while Utah as a whole increased 17 percent.
However, Emery County's poverty rate of 11 percent remains higher than the state's rate of 10 percent. The 2009 Annual Report on Poverty in Utah documents statistics and factors as to why the number of families in poverty fluctuates.
"This is the first time in decades that Utah is seeing families who have lived in the middle class for their entire lives teeter on the poverty line," said CAP Utah Executive Director Heather Tritten. "This is a frightening experience, especially for those families who have always been self-sufficient, as they try to figure out how to keep their house, feed their kids, and compete for the few jobs that are available."
One key finding from CAP Utah's report is how poverty has infiltrated Utah's middle and working class families. In 2007, more than 250,000 people, or 10 percent of all Utah residents, lived below the poverty level; additionally, 91,000 or 11 percent of all Utah children lived below the poverty level. Fourteen percent of children in Emery County live in poverty.
A January 2009 assessment of Utah's nine Community Action agencies, which help impoverished families get back to full, quality employment, showed 61 percent of people seeking services were doing so for the first time ever.
Utah's unemployment rate jumped 58 percent in 2008 to just above five percent, which is the same rate for Emery County.
The Utah Department of Workforce Services has seen a 195 percent increase in initial filings for unemployment insurance benefits since 2008. Another indicator of Utah's poverty levels is the change in food stamp caseloads. Although Utah has seen a 30 percent rise in food stamp caseloads, Emery County has only seen an 11 percent increase.
CAP Utah and State of Utah experts believe that several factors have caused the rise of poverty in Utah. First, Utah's average wage is 80 percent of the national wage, which is the 37th lowest in the nation. Utah also has the nation's second lowest per-capita income at $30,291 as compared with the national average of $36,751.
"Families are facing additional difficulties due to increasing healthcare premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and this is contributing to families looking at poverty for the first time," Tritten said. "Over the last decade, the portion of premiums paid by Utah families increased 73 percent and their portions of premiums increased 98 percent. This contributes to the fact that 67 percent of our state's uninsured are actually working families."
As a result of Congress passing the stimulus package, CAP Utah was able to receive grants in an effort to improve emergency housing services allowing people to remain stable in their homes while they look for employment or recover from a crisis.
The state will also continue to work with CAP and county organizations to increase programs serving homeless populations. Work programs, training opportunities and access to education will be improved and expanded. Utah's Community Action Agencies will be increasing services, putting a new focus on job creation and training.
"Although our goal of reducing poverty is daunting, we can make great strides by working together," Tritten said. "The Poverty Report helps communities become aware about the challenges facing so many Utah families. But the most important step is becoming engaged in making a difference."

Quick Facts
Who is in Poverty?
* 10.3 percent of Utahns lived below the poverty level in 2007. This equates to a total of 254,385 people.
* 11.3 percent of children in Utah lived below the poverty level in 2007. This equates to a total of 91,064 children. Most of the children who live in poverty have parents that work.
* 27.2 percent of female-headed households with children lived in poverty in 2007.
* In 2007, at least 26.8 percent of Utahns did not have enough savings to exist at the poverty level for three months without a job. As our economy continues to be unstable, this number will grow, as many Utahns will, for the first time, experience asset poverty.
* Utah has the 11th highest percentage of women who work part-time and the lowest percent of women who work full time; 72 percent of all part-time workers in Utah are female. This means many single, working mothers don't receive health, retirement or sick or maternity leave benefits. In addition, Utah is one of 23 states that do not offer unemployment insurance to part-time workers that are laid off, which greatly affects women in Utah.
* Three Utah counties - Daggett, Sanpete and San Juan - are ranked in the nation's top 100 poorest counties.
* In 2008, Utah's unemployment rate jumped 57.6 percent , the biggest jump that Utah has had in its 113-year history.
* Initial filings for unemployment insurance benefits in Utah have increased 195 percent over the past year.
* Utah Department of Workforce Services saw a 66 percent increase in the number of job seekers it served over the past year.
* This year, 61 percent of clients at Utah's Community Action Agencies were seeking services for the first time ever. This shows poverty is moving into the middle class.
Housing, Foreclosures, and Homelessness
* 33 percent of Utah homeowners spend more than one third of their income on their mortgage and have struggled to make their payments over the last year.
* Utah's bankruptcy rate has increased 44.9 percent over the past year.
* 28 percent of Utahns are renters, 42 percent of which spend more than one third of their income on rent.
* Fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $736. A household must earn $29,459 per year or $14.16 per hour to afford fair market rent or must work 2.2 jobs (86 hours per week, 52 weeks per year) at minimum wage to afford fair market rent.
* There is a shortage of 30,988 affordable units available to extremely low-income Utahns.
* As of January 2009, there were 3,507 homeless men, women and children in Utah: an increase of 5.8 percent from 2008.
* Using the Department of Education's definition for homeless children, there were an estimated 10,388 homeless school children as of January 2009.
Poverty and Hunger
* Demand for emergency food has increased by more than 30 percent over the last year.
* Food stamp usage has increased by more than 30 percent in the 12 months from February 2008 to February 2009. It is estimated that 46 percent of Utah households that qualify for Food Stamps do not utilize the program.
* More than 30 percent of school-aged children in Utah rely on free or reduced-price school lunch.
* Prices for food prepared at home increased 6.4 percent in 2008.
Health Care
* Over the past decade, the portion of health insurance premiums paid by Utah families increased by 73 percent and the individual's portion of premiums increased by 98 percent. Over the same time, the median income in Utah only increased by 10 percent.
* From 1996 to 2006, the number of Utah employers offering health insurance decreased by 8.7 percent, while nationally there was a 2.9 percent increase in employer coverage.
* 67 percent of uninsured Utahns were part of a working family in 2008.

Rough and runny
Posted by Reviewer1583441 on Oct 24, 2010
I bought this along with the Microdermabrasion Scrub (also from Derma E). It is very runny and much more abrasive. I will use the remainder of it but will not order it again since the Microdermabrasion Scrub works so very, very well.

The smell is a bit strange. Basically it's a nice smell, but it's almost like some weird smell is coming trough it from the background. Also for a facial scrub this is REALLY rough so I wouldn't recommend it for a very sensitive skin. My skin can take it though. Will use it, but won't buy again.

Okay, the disclaimer first. This is my speculation. I am in no way trying to say I know this for sure. I am working with circumstantial evidence but I thought I should put this out there. If you read my posts regarding Dave Sampson you were provided with two different stories regarding his parentage. The first version was provided by an excerpt of a book written by Primrose Watson Fisher called "One Dozen Pre-Revolutionary War families of Eastern North Carolina" In the book we learn Dave's mother's name was Hannah and she was a slave of Michael Fisher Sr.. Apparently, the female slaves were warned that if they gave birth to a mulatto child, they then subsequently would be sold off. Here's an excerpt from the book:
Dave's mother claimed that a white man who came to the community as a school teacher and for a while had boarded at the Fisher home, was the father of her child. As a result, she was sold. However, the sale was to a planter well known to the Fishers and who provided well for his slaves.
Now when you read Dave's obituary from "The New Berninan" January 27, 1932, you get a slightly different take on what happened.
Before the war between states, Dave was a Craven county slave. When he was only 3 weeks old, both his father and mother were sold and sent to Mississippi, by their owner Michael Fisher. Thereafter he was brought up in the house with white people and learned to wait on ladies of the household. After the war he found that his mother had written to him but the letter had been destroyed.
Oh what I would give to be able to read that letter. Well, let's look at what we know. Dave Sampson was a mulatto. When he lived with the Fishers he did not live in the slave quarters but rather in quarters off the kitchen. The kitchen was a separate structure behind the main house. He had a very close relationship with the family. He was described further in the obituary as staying on as a "slave by choice for ten years after the war, learning how to cook and to wait on the table and help his white friends" We know he lived near the Fisher family for his whole life. Hmm...Maybe the Fishers were not just friends. I'm just saying.
Okay, I am going to put it out there. I think that Michael Fisher Sr. was Dave Sampson's father. The uniquely close relationship he held with the family seemed more of a familial quality.
Here's two pictures of Dave Sampson from another wonderful book from the Images of America series called "Craven County" by Lynn Salsi and Frances Eubanks. Somehow in the cosmic universe a couple of people from my tree managed to get themselves into books. LOL. On page 81 and 84 there are images of Dave Sampson when he was the cook at Camp Bryan. As I looked at the pictures again I noticed that the images were from the G.A. Nicoll Photo Album, from the New Bern Craven County Photographic Archive at New Bern Craven County Library.
Now I am going to show you a picture of Michel Fisher Sr.'s youngest child Abram Dudley Fisher from the book "One Dozen Pre-Revolutionary War families of Eastern North Carolina" by Primrose Watson Fisher.
I don't know but call me crazy but there is something about those ears and the context of their faces that seems to me that there is a genetic connection. What's your opinion?
Just my way of sharing with family, friends, and anyone who will listen, the things that I have learned about my ancestors with a little bit about myself and my own little family in the mix.

My Speculation Regarding Dave Sampson's Parentage.

That was a heck of a rule! They look related to me. No stories in your family about it?ReplyDelete
No, no stories in the family about it. In fact, I found this stuff out on my own. Unfortunately, the last one of my grandmother's siblings has Alzheimer's so I don't think I will be able to find out anymore from the family. But don't worry. I will always keep searching. Ya never know.ReplyDelete
Michael Fisher, you ARE the father (maury povich) lol!ReplyDeleteReplies

Rising temperatures usually mark rising gas prices, but don't you worry. This year, StarMetro is offering some extra relief by providing a fare free transit day on Thursday, June 20 - just one day before the official start of summer.
The transit agency is proudly participating in national Dump the Pump Day. This day, sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), encourages the use of public transportation during this time of year when gas prices typically go up.
"The national average for regular unleaded gas this week is $3.63 – six cents higher than it was last week," said Mayor John Marks. "Public transportation is just one way to save your family some money as these prices continue to increase. My fellow Commissioners and I fully support StarMetro in offering this fare free opportunity."
APTA began Dump the Pump Day in 2006 when gas prices were $3 per gallon as a way to highlight the economic advantages of using public transportation. According to the latest APTA Transit Savings Report, individuals in a two-person household can save an average of more than $9,700 annually by downsizing to one car.
"In this economic climate, saving money is on everyone's mind," said Ivan Maldonado, director of StarMetro. "Riding public transportation, such as StarMetro, is the quickest way to beat those high gas prices."
StarMetro offers 12 crosstown routes and provides transportation services to Florida State University, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University and Tallahassee Community College. Last year, StarMetro provided over 4.5 million trips.
For more information about StarMetro services, please call StarMetro's main office at 891-5200 or visit Talgov.com/starmetro.

Lessons on Friendship from an Afghani Refugee Family
Akbar, Rahima, and children two years after emigrating from Afghanistan. (photo courtesy of the author)
In 2001 my husband approached me about hosting an Afghan refugee family of four. I was hesitant. But my reservations — lice, tuberculosis, loss of solitude — seem petty and insulting now. In the end, they were outweighed by his enthusiasm.
So our family arrived one evening just before Memorial Day, exhausted from long travel. We stood outside nodding, smiling, shaking hands. Akbar wore a dark suit, Rahima a blouse and skirt and heels, the children ribbons and a bow tie and shined shoes. We had pizza and soda and very few words.
The next day we bought a Russian-English dictionary. We couldn't find one in Dari, the family's native tongue, but they'd spent years in Moscow so we found common words through a language belonging to none of us. Spasíba, pazhálusta, ímya, lagushka. The children laughed with our kids and our dog in the backyard. They needed no book, and before long were translating for their parents.
Over the weeks our English developed an accent, and we took to pantomime. One evening my son said he was going to take a shower. He mimicked the spray above his head and pretended to shampoo himself. I smiled. "Kid, I speak English!" Akbar watched with growing pleasure, finally erupting in laughter.
Rahima cooked succulent, beautiful meals with lamb and cumin, raisins and cilantro. We searched for her preferred rice and found a species of basmati I still buy for pennies per pound from an Asian grocer. Its burlap bag features an inked-on label: "Once taste eat for ever."
Rahima made me tea four times a day, despite my discomfort at her servitude. She asked if I'd like one shovel of sugar or two. We laughed over the confusion of "kitchen" and "chicken." She taught me to cook the okra I'd never liked in a way that was savory and "deshilous."
One day we discovered our youngest sons were born within ten days of one another, on opposite sides of the Earth. Sistera, she said, pointing shyly at me, and she has introduced me in that way to her friends every since.
As our common words increased, we began to linger over dinner. We sprinkled our tea with cardamom, bit into Rahima's crunchy lemon cookies, and listened as Akbar spoke of the Taliban and its terrible grip. "I want carpet," he said, gesturing toward our Persian rug. "I want car, home for children. Television. Taliban no good," he said, "no what you want…" He searched, settling on the Russian: svabódny. No liberty. Everyone was silent. I poured more tea. He looked around the table at his children, his sweet shy wife, our children. "Politic," he said, like you or I might say "robotic." He slapped his palm on his thigh. "I wery like."
Our Christian religion requires fasting one Sunday each month, so I fixed breakfast for our guests and explained why we couldn't join them to eat. Rahima asked, "One month?" — no doubt thinking of the Ramadan fast her religion requires. Well, no. But the practice, fasting in faith and devotion, was another thing we'd found in common.
After several weeks, their English improved to where they found jobs at a thrift shop and auto auction. They moved into an apartment nearby, the next step on the way to citizenship. And then, Nine-Eleven.
My husband was traveling, and I feared for his safety. I cried with the nation, watched in disbelief as footage revealed Muslims across the globe dancing in the streets. I phoned our friends and learned they'd also spent the day glued to the television. That evening the kids and I dropped by, and Rahima prepared a tray of tea and cookies. We chatted: work, new friends in the apartment complex, the start of school, the horrific attack. The talk was quiet. Their graciousness and loveliness were immediate, familiar, genuine. Our kids ran and shouted together in the grassy square outside the window.
Soon they moved to a larger city, seeking better employment, as any American is likely to do. We've visited them across the country; their children have grown and are pursuing further education, poised to better themselves and, as they do, make further contributions, again like so many Americans.
Before they moved away, I drove Akbar to the Immigration and Naturalization Service office to take care of some paperwork. Taped to the clerk's window was a notice: "Warning!! If you have more than 180 days of unlawful presence in the United States it is our strong recommendation that you do not leave the United States for any reason."
This was odd to me, but it was no more strange than the questions on Akbar's application seemed, since I'd come to know him, though I understand their necessity: "Are you wanted for extradition for a crime you have or have not committed? Are you wanted for questioning or as a material witness? Are you or have you ever been engaged in espionage? Do you advocate the overthrow of the United States government by force or sedition?" (One woman thought a moment and answered, "force.")
I did my best to explain each question. We smiled a bit. There was some patient, acquiescent laughter, and Akbar checked his answer in a box. In this way we tried to give the official behind the glass a clear picture of Akbar and his family. Some reliable notion of who they'd come to be.

Analyzing Law - A Framework for Understanding Law of All Sorts and for All Purposes (Cases, Exercises and Commentary)
Neil K. Komesar
University of Wisconsin Law School
September 12, 2011
Univ. of Wisconsin Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1172
This is the introductory chapter and the tables of contents of a set of materials that applies a single framework for analyzing law of all sorts and for all purposes to a wide variety of legal subjects. The central focus is on the choice among decision makers such as courts, markets, and political processes (institutional choice) and the analytical framework is comparative institutional analysis. Put simply, the allocation of decision-making is the logic of the law and understanding the trade-offs involved is the approach to understanding what law is and ought to be. There are many purposes for these materials. They are, as they seem, the basis for a course or inputs into many courses. But their main purpose is to make comparative institutional analysis more accessible to the law school and legal communities in general. By using the most familiar of formats – the casebook – and the most basic of issues – the lawyering question, I am seeking to bring the tools of comparative institutional analysis to more law teachers, lawyers and judges.

Oak Creek girls take leadership role in Southeast with win over Franklin
Knights 5-1 overall, 3-0 in league play
Franklin girls basketball coach Tony Kathrens had two defenses - one a zone, another a man - set up to battle Oak Creek's mighty 6-2 post players Stephanie Kostowicz and Tamya Sims on Dec. 11 in the local rivals' showdown.
What he did not have is a defense for junior guard Katie Finn's outside shooting, as Finn drained three first-quarter three-pointers, as the Knights took an 11-0 lead and then never looked back in gaining a critical leg up in the Southeast Conference with a 52-38 decision.
"I think if you look at the box we held both of them (Kostowicz and Sims) to well below their averages," Kathrens said. "Their bigs just did not hurt as much as we thought they might, but give credit to Finn. She hit her threes."
Finn, who finished with 18 points, noted that she has put in extra practice time on her three-point shooting.
"The shot felt good all night," she said. "I work hard on that every day after practice. It's been my thing since I've been little."
With the victory, the Knights improved to 3-0 in the Southeast and 5-1 overall while Franklin fell to 2-1 and 3-2, respectively.
Oak Creek took on league foe Kenosha Bradford on Tuesday and is now off until the Sheboygan South Tournament Dec. 27 and 28. Franklin played Kenosha Indian Trail on Tuesday and then will host the annual Rathke Memorial Tournament Dec. 27 to 29.
Oak Creek coach Steve Hluchnik, whose team has not lost since an opening game defeat to Pius XI, was pleased with Finn and the team's effort.
"We've had some games where we couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with our threes," he said, "but we got some to drop tonight and that took them out of their zone defense. We also didn't let (guard Jenny) Eickhorst get a good look at any threes. We knew (Cassidy) Mihalko would get some points, but we didn't want Eickhorst to hurt us."
Eickhorst, who hit six three-pointers in a recent Franklin win, had only four points, all on free throws, all in the second half, while Mihalko finished with 14.
It was actually point guard Morgan Kokta who hit the first three-pointer of the night for Oak Creek just 22 seconds into the game, but it was Finn who stretched the lead to 9-0 with two more three-pointers in short order. When Kokta hit a baseline jumper with 3:18 left in the first it was 11-0 and for all intensive purposes the game was over.
And though Franklin's defensive strategy greatly limited Kostowicz (three points) and Sims' (no points) offensive efforts in the first half, the pair used their length to cut off the Sabers' trademark slashing, fast-paced attack.
Mihalko got the first bucket for Franklin on an offensive rebound at the 1:54 mark of the first quarter, but frequently the Sabers were stuck on the perimeter, not being able to find a way inside.
"Having those two big girls is a big help," Finn said. "They're just so long."
And Kostowicz, who finished with nine points, returned the favor.
"It's lucky that we have such good shooters," said Kostowicz. "They get their outside looks and that allows to get more inside looks."
Kathrens said the absence of 5-11 junior forward Montana Mack this night really hurt. Mack, who is lost for the season to an injury, is by-far-and-away the Sabers' best post player, he said.
"We really missed her presence," he said. "She would have made a difference. Their two bigs stopped everything we wanted to do inside. We just couldn't get anything going."
Despite that, the Sabers continued battling.
A three-pointer from freshman forward Carly Graverson cut the margin to 19-12 with 3:07 left in the second quarter, but those would be the last points Franklin would score in the half, as Oak Creek's Lindsey Kalski scored on a steal and Kostowicz finally got on the board with a three-point play with 1:20 remaining to make it 24-12 at the break.
Two free throws by Franklin's Nala Mudd cut the margin to 29-21 midway through the third quarter, but with Kostowicz and Sims getting more looks in the second half, that was as close as the Sabers would get.
The margin would reach 22 points in the fourth quarter.
Kokta added 10 points for Oak Creek.
Oak Creek, which lost in the WIAA sectional finals last season, has big plans for the season and intends to use this game as a launching point.
"We've not been in this spot (in the lead in the Southeast) for awhile," Hluchnik said. "With this game we're the front-runner. It's a nice position to be in for a change.
Kostowicz said the Knights learned a lot from losing to Pius in Game 1.
"We came into that game a little overconfident and we didn't do the things we needed to do (to win)," Kostowicz said. "I think we've been working a little harder since then because of that. We can do some good things and they can happen. We'll just have to see how it all shakes out."

Thank you everyone
OK I am giving up "standard" size posters for now, settling with 8x10 prints from web images, plus will order customized T-shirts from photo-generated silhouettes. Did I mention I want these autographed someday?
Off topic: what do you ask skaters to autograph on? I've only been to two smaller ice shows and majority of the people seem to just buy programs for autograph purposes?

Evan Lysacek signed a USFSA tshirt for me... but most of my autographs are on photos or programs
What about white figure skates?
^^ most will do that too...
and heyang hit the nail on the head, at least where I'm concerned. I don't want my stuff being used in some way that I don't have control over... it's MY photo... it's MY work... I feel as though I should have a say (imagine that)

After helping shape the soundscape over the past 100 years, Denon has entered the dock market with their Cocoon range. Their wealth of experience has helped them produce a dock faithful to their plutonic love of sound and exemplary of their visionary design.
One of the defining characteristics of the Cocoon is its shape. Denon needed a shape conducive to high fidelity audio, but it had to retain their sense of identifiable styling. Often docks tend to discount design for sound or vice versa, but Denon's Cocoon is one of the few exceptions.
Its shape, as noted by its name, was inspired by nature. The uniform curves cocoon a valuable speaker arrangement and its collection of connectivity technologies.
Denon then dressed the Cocoon in materials inspired by modern art. On the outside high quality fabrics meet the polished and transparent plastic layer, glazing full colours for a deep, high gloss finish. The minimalist styling makes it a welcomed addition as it complements—rather than undermines—a room's design language.
Inside, quality speakers are fixed by a double shot injected chassis and the entire dock is grounded by a heavy aluminium base. Like any piece of art, you'll find the artist's signature engraved on the base.
Beyond the curvaceous body is a two way speaker system, large acoustic chamber, Denon Dual Layer Cones, bass ports and Denon amplification, combined with advanced DSP software to optimise the Cocoon acoustically.
Making use of this technology is easily done by way of the Cocoon's connectivity suite. An LED display conceals a retractable dock compatible with Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The dock not only plays back music while charging your device, but it also comes in handy when setting up AirPlay.
Denon's Cocoon comes with a feature known as Netlink. Netlink helps your Cocoon recognise your wireless home network by gleaning the information from the docked Apple device. Once done Apple users can then stream music from their Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to the Cocoon.
There's no need for non-Apple users to fret as the Cocoon can communicate wirelessly with DLNA compatible smartphones, tablets, computers and NAS drives. Denon has released their Cocoon App for both Android and iOS devices and it allows users to control every one of the Cocoon's functions remotely.
Having the flexibility to listen to your music library is great, but every music collection is a work in progress. Finding new songs is as easy as nominating Internet radio on the Cocoon. Favourite stations can be assigned to three presets and Denon's 'Cocoon' shaped remote makes flipping through stations convenient.
Denon's Cocoon range is made up of the Cocoon Home and Cocoon Portable. Most of the features are shared between the two devices, but the Cocoon Portable has a few unique traits ideal for on the go entertainment. These include its rechargeable lithium-ion battery, its reinforced metal grille and an on-board compartment its remote can call home.
Denon's Cocoon Home is available in black and white for $699, while the Cocoon Portable is available for $649.

USA TODAY Sports' Scott Gleeson counts down to the start of the season, breaking down the projected field of 68.
The first word: When asked about the level of Duke freshman Jabari Parker's skillset, ESPN analyst Jay Bilas isn't shy in paying the 6-8 forward the highest of compliments.
"Jabari isn't just one of the most special players in the country, he's one of the best coach (Mike) Krzyzewski's ever had," Bilas said. "(Parker) can play posting up, he can play with his back to the basket, facing it. He's really, really impressive. He can put him in the backcourt and play him all the way to the 5. Coach K can put 4 guards with him and operate. With that amount of versatility comes a lot of flexibility. Coach K is going to use him like a queen on a chess board."
Strong words from a former Blue Devil, and Bilas is on the outside looking in. Parker might be rated as the second-best freshman behind Kansas' Andrew Wiggins, but he's already convincing coaches and teammates that he's a once-in-a-generation player who could lead Duke to another banner season.
NCAA TOURNEY: Projecting the full field of 68
As uniquely talented as he's projected to be, Parker is no messiah. He's coming to a program decorated in college hoops glory and personified in floor slapping. Parker joins a Duke squad that's widely considered the most athletic Blue Devils team in more than a decade.
Duke lost its top three scorers in Mason Plumlee, Seth Curry and Ryan Kelly. But Krzyzewski reloaded with Parker — the No. 2 prospect out of Chicago Simeon High School who was compared to LeBron James on a Sports Illustrated cover — and Rodney Hood a highly valued transfer from Mississippi State who is eligible to play for the Blue Devils this season.
RELATED: For new-look Blue Devils, it's full-speed ahead
Thanks to Parker and Hood, both 6-8 forwards who can play on the wing, Duke will be one of the nation's most versatile teams. That tandem joins returners Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon to form a lineup poised to cause matchup problems for opponents.
Once again, the Blue Devils enter 2013-14 with high — and warranted — expectations as the favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference, a league that welcomes new challengers (Big East transfers Syracuse, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh) that will all be trying to take down the Blue Devils.
2012-13 in review: 30-6 (14-4 in ACC), lost in the Elite Eight to Louisville.
Tournament projection: No. 1 seed, automatic bid.
Coach's corner: "We're going to see much more than Duke and Carolina showcased in this league with all of these new additions. In some way, I think that may have held the league back or held the people who think about basketball in our league back because you have this golden goose of Duke and Carolina. And now we don't have just one goose, man. We've got a lot of stuff." — Krzyzewski, now entering his 34th season at Duke, said at ACC Media Days.
X-Factor: Hood. Parker will have the spotlight, but Due's success will hinge on consistent play from Hood, who can take over games when Parker and Sulaimon aren't hot. He averaged 10.3 points and 4.8 rebounds as a freshman at Mississippi State before sitting out lat season. "There's a lot of attention on Jabari Parker. Wait until you see Rodney Hood. He's that good," N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said.
Star watch (backcourt): Curry's departure will allow Cook (11.7 ppg, 5.3 apg) and Sulaimon (11.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg) to take on more of an offensive load after strong freshman campaigns. Cook, Duke's assists leader last season, calls his situation "a point guard's dream", but his decision making, especially at a fast pace, will be crucial. Those two will be complemented by Andre Dawkins, who redshirted last season. Freshmen Matt Jones and Semi Ojeleye will likely earn minutes and add depth.
Star watch (frontcourt): This jumps out as a weakness with Plumlee's departure, but Coach K has had no problems in the past piloting teams lacking size. Reserve Amile Jefferson is a likely candidate to start at center, while Josh Hairston, Alex Murphy and Marshall Plumlee are the Blue Devils' other options. Parker and Hood will play forward, but they're essentially guards with their first step and outside shooting touches.
Team strength/weakness: Parker and Hood can stretch the floor offensively but the offensive potency leads to some defensive liability. Rebounding and size could be a concern for this versatile group when they're playing against bigger, better rebounding teams like, say Syracuse. Duke wasn't a strong rebounding team last season (ranking 213th nationally) and was able to overcome that for the most part but the team's Elite Eight loss to Louisville is the prime example of it mattering.
Conference outlook: How many ACC teams make the NCAA tournament? After only shipping four teams last season, the conference could almost double that number this season. The educated guess is six or seven bids. Duke, Syracuse, North Carolina and Notre Dame should be locks. Virginia and Maryland should escape the bubble. But how good will Pittsburgh be with an inexperienced team? And can projected middle-of-the-pack teams Georgia Tech, Florida State and N.C. State take a big step? Time will tell, as the league could attain the country's top RPI for the first time since 2009. That'd be a big boost for borderline NCAA teams.
Tweet that speaks volume: Coach K has a little crush on Beyoncé.
Highlight reel: Parker teased fans with this during Midnight Madness.
Basics: Duke University is located in Durham, N.C. and the Blue Devils play their home games in Cameron Indoor Stadium, which opened in 1940 and seats 9,314.

Emery County is a popular spot for hikers from around the world. Many times these hikers come and go without most people knowing they've been here. Sometimes though their stories gain national attention as was the case when Aron Ralston became stuck by a boulder in a slot canyon and as a result amputated his own arm. Another situation which will air on the Discovery Channel is the story of Justin and Jeremy Harris.
The two brothers came to Emery County in Nov. 2003 to hike in the Baptist Draw area. They expected the hike to take a few hours and they had hiking book guides to lead them. But, weather conditions became extremely bad and Justin fell into a pool and shattered his lower leg in six places. Jeremy was already cold and wet from a plunge in a pool of water but it was up to him to go for the help that Justin needed.
Jeremy climbed and walked throughout the night, but missed the side canyon that would lead him out and back to their camp. He walked throughout the night, stopping only long enough to build a fire to warm himself. He fell asleep and was awakened when his clothes caught on fire. He continued on, but finally reached a point where he knew he was hopelessly lost and he had lost his trail notes. He decided at that point to try to go back to where he had left his brother.
It was now daylight and traveling back along the same way he had stumbled through the night before he found the side canyon that led him out. He was then able to locate their camp and summoned help.
The Emery County search and rescue was instrumental in the rescue of Justin. Justin was left behind with a shattered leg and freezing conditions while Jeremy went for help. Justin tried to keep himself coherent by reciting the birthdays of his children and remembering happy times. At one point he felt himself losing touch with reality and he stood up inspite of the pain in his leg. This renewed pain brought him back to the reality of his situation. He also climbed further back under a rock ledge to try to get out of the snow.
The rescue was not an easy one for the Emery County search and rescue team. Jeremy's 911 call went to the Grand County dispatch. They called the Emery County dispatch who then initiated the search for Justin. The call came in at 2:38 p.m. on Nov. 23, 2003 from Grand County.
Deputy Ray Jeffs and BLM officer Don Lum were the first sent to the scene followed by 29 other rescuers from Green River and western Emery County. Jeremy was transported to Castleview Hospital after he gave the rescuers a general idea of where his brother was, "He's out there," said Jeremy. A command post was set up and teams of two were sent out to search.
The Emery County rescuers began the long process of trying to locate Justin beginning about 9 p.m. Some rescuers began walking along the top of the canyon yelling into the canyons to try to make voice contact with Justin. Rescuers were also looking for a way down into the canyon. Four rescuers, found their way down into the canyon. This team rappelled in behind Justin's location.
Voice contact from above was finally made with Justin at approximately 2 a.m. The rescuers couldn't see how far down Justin was in the canyon. It was later determined he was approximately 475 feet down.
The first team into the canyon worked their way down to Justin's location. Layne Potter, McLayne Potter, LaMont Gordon and Diane Chandler reached Justin at 7 a.m. after he had spent approximately 36 hours alone in the canyon.
It was determined to bring him out longer ropes were needed. Some of the rescuers knew the power plant had longer ropes and Huntington power plant provided the needed ropes for the rescue. Ken Eley went down the ropes and a support group stayed on top to pull the others back out of the canyon.
Justin was secured in the rescue basket and raised out of the canyon. They would progress 10-15 feet and then the rigs would have to be rerigged and the slow process would start over again. Eley attended Justin as he was guided up out of the canyon. In addition to being an EMT, Eley is a rope rescue technician. Eley said, "Justin was alert when we were bringing him up. His leg was a real problem, but he had food and water down there and he was a little cold and hypothermic. He was covered with a blanket and was scared, but OK."
Life Flight had been contacted and was waiting at the top for Justin to be pulled out. He was taken to a trauma unit at a Salt Lake hospital where he spent 90 days and ended up losing his lower leg from the ordeal.
After Justin had been taken care of the rescuers spent some time pulling the team from the bottom of the canyon which was a labor extensive process.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "I can't say enough about our search and rescue team. They are a volunteer team strictly unpaid and they are constantly putting their lives at risk for others. We participate in more than 100 rescues in our area each year of various types. We rescue those who get into problems by accident or inexperience and unfortunate circumstances. People might encounter sudden weather changes or sometimes just a lack of common sense puts them in dangerous situations. Our rescue team will respond willingly no matter what the situation. They sometimes find themselves in dangerous situations that you can't train for, training and experience comes as they perform the needed rescues. They are a capable and confident group which performs in emergency situations by whatever means they have at their disposal.
"In the Harris rescue they knew their ropes weren't adequate and they knew the power plant had rescue ropes and they were willing to let us use them. Many of the search and rescue team members are PacifiCorp employees who also receive search and rescue training at work through their jobs.
"These volunteers are beneficial to the citizens of Emery County and the visitors here," said Sheriff Guymon.
Search and rescue commander, Les Thompson said there are no bells, whistles and sirens when they go out into the dead of night to do their jobs. They just go and do it with little thanks. A lot of those people rescued don't realize the rescuers aren't paid employees and are volunteering their own time and resources to come to their aid.
Eley said, "Everyone brings an expertise to our rescue team. Some people know the desert, others the mountains."
Thompson said, "The Harris rescue really increased the awareness for the equipment that we need to do our job. We've been on a lot of searches much worse than this one. We just get the job done. Our sheriff's office is really good to make sure we get the equipment we need. We have an equipment trailer with everything in it and 4-wheelers, food and water ready to go at a moment's notice. We're usually not called out until people have already been searching all day and we're called out at night as a last effort. It's best to involve us early on so we can put searchers out before the situation becomes extreme."
The program, "I Shouldn't Be Alive: Nightmare Canyon" will air on the Discovery Channel on Nov. 10 at 10 p.m., Nov, 11 at 2 a.m., Nov. 23 at 9 p.m. and Nov. 24 at 1 a.m. These times are eastern time.

Proposed changes to the land transport rules for agricultural vehicle operators are a vast improvement on the current regulations. Federated Farmers is supportive of most of the changes which will reduce farmer compliance costs, without compromising road safety.
The agricultural transport review was instigated after the Federation approached former Associate Transport Minister, Nathan Guy, in 2010 with concerns over the complexity of the regulations.
All agricultural vehicles, such as tractors and combine harvesters, must be registered when used on the roads. From May 1 the current EB license category for agricultural vehicles raises the maximum speed from 30km/h to 40km/h.
Operators with agricultural vehicles who opt to go no faster than 40km/h will pay reduced licensing fees excluding the ACC motor levy, will not need a WOF or to pay Road User Charges (RUC) or to comply with the Work Time Rule.
Agricultural motor vehicles, excluding utes, quad bikes and trucks, licensed to go over 40km/h will be required to pay the ACC motor levy and RUC and get a simplified annual WOF. They will also be required to comply with the Work Time Rule.
Operators who work seasonally will now be able to apply for an alternative fatigue management system.
An alternative hazard panels has also been proposed and the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) intends to make amber beacons mandatory for agricultural vehicles registered for the first time after or on May 1, 2013. The forward distance permitted has been extended from 3 metres to 4 metres reflecting the increase in size of modern agricultural vehicles.
The new rules will also allow the holder of an overseas agricultural vehicle license, from countries such as the European Union nations, Canada and the United States, to operate an equivalent vehicle in New Zealand. People who hold a class 1 licence will be able to operate more agricultural vehicles.
While Federated Farmers is highly supportive of the changes, we have recommended NZTA make some minor amendments before the rules are signed into law.
If all goes to plan, the changes will come into play on May 1 of this year. Both Federated Farmers and NZTA will notify the Federation's members of the final changes.

The Zumba craze has reached Emery County. Classes are taught at Fitness Evolution in Huntington and Samantha Johnson teaches on Tuesday and Thursday at 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. at the Emery County Recreation Center.
Zumba is an exhilarating experience. The Zumba program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program. Zumba fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life.
The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat with some Latin flavor and international zest.
The Zumba program has become nothing short of a revolution, spreading like wildfire, and positioning itself as the single most influential movement in the industry of fitness.
As of October, the Zumba program is being taught at more than 90,000 locations in 110 countries, has sold millions of DVDs, and has changed the lives of Zumba fanatics worldwide with an astonishing 10 million participants taking Zumba classes every week.
Celebrity fitness trainer, "Beto" Perez, stumbled upon the concept of Latin-inspired dance-fitness in his native Cali, Colombia in the mid-'90s.
One day, he walked into his aerobics class and realized he had forgotten his aerobics music. Thinking quickly, he grabbed whatever tapes he had in his backpack. Beto's tapes were comprised of songs he loved, the traditional Latin salsa and merengue music he listened to all his life. But it was a challenge to improvise a whole class on the spot using non-traditional aerobics music. Beto rose to the challenge and from this last-minute improvisation a revolutionary new concept in fitness was born. The class soon became the most popular class at his fitness facility.
The Zumba classes in Emery County are always filled to capacity but they welcome more to attend.

A Backhoe, or a backhoe loader, is an excavation vehicle consisting of a bucket, a shovel, a tractor and a backhoe. Due to their small size and versatility, they are very common with small construction jobs, but can also be used for other types of work, such as demolition and excavation.
available dig depths
There are not great differences in size from one backhoe to the next. Of all heavy machinery, backhoes vary the least in size from one model to the next. While there are front-end loaders and excavators -- even skidsteers -- that are monstrous in relation to other machines in the same class, there are not incredibly large backhoes nor mini-backhoes.
Renting a backhoe is a good option if a person has a variety of jobs on a site to accomplish, but a limited number of machines. An operator can dig a trench for pipe (sewer, water or gas), for utilities or an operator can dig trench for a drainage system or irrigation. An operator can also use the bucket on the back to dig a foundation or a basement. The bucket on the front end can quickly scoop up spoils and put them in a pile or load them in the back of a dump truck or end or side dump tandem. The front bucket is also ideal for flattening or forming an area within a jobsite. A backhoe can do anything a loader or excavator can do, but on a smaller scale.


text: Yoga Can Benefit Every College Student Jun 26, 2012 by Kayla Herrera Yoga has many benefits including stress relief, strengthening of the immune system, mind and body balance, emotional strengthening, flexibility and so much more. College students especially should give yoga a chance because not only are most of us bogged down with the stress of school but demanding work schedules as well. Here are some very imperative benefits to taking yoga in college. Stress relief: Homework and readings killing you? Drama at the sorority house? College is just bursting with different stressors and yoga allows you to take a breath and slow down to revitalize your body. Body strengthening: Yoga positions allow for the strengthening of your body, which in turn keep it healthy, toned and flexible. Increased concentration: This could be helpful during exams and homework when your focus has to be at an all-time high. Yoga increases concentration so that the college student has an expanded attention span and can better retain information. All-around wellness: Personally, yoga makes me want to be healthy inside and out. School seemed like too much to handle before but as I started taking yoga classes, I slowly learned to control my stress. Meet new people: Though you're not really supposed to talk in class, yoga is a great way to make friends with similar interests. Men should not feel like yoga is strictly a female activity, as most yoga classes are mixed gender. Yoga provides more benefits than you may think and everyone should give it a shot! Namaste.

With Bradley, a Ryder Cup star is born
MEDINAH, Ill. -- Keegan Bradley said Friday "could (have been) the best day of my life," and who could argue? If he wasn't sinking clutch putts, striping the ball off the tee and winning two key points for the United States on the first day of the Ryder Cup, he was turning 42-year-old Phil Mickelson into a kid again.
"I felt young and it felt great," a giddy Mickelson said after he and Bradley defeated Europe's previously unbeatable duo of Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia 4 and 3 in the morning, then European stars Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell 2 and 1 in the afternoon.
"I love playing with Keegan," Mickelson said. "I would say to him a couple of times, 'I need a little pep talk,' and he would give me something, get me boosted right up and I would end up hitting a good shot."
His best shot was saved for last, Mickelson's majestic 7-iron to within two feet on the par-3 17th. He actually skipped from the tee box down the hill, arm-in-arm with Bradley. "We were screaming," Bradley said. "It was like a Patriots game out there."
BENCHED: Tiger to sit out Saturday morning
When the Europeans picked up his ball on the green, conceding the hole and the match, Mickelson had won two matches in one day for the first time in the nine Ryder Cups he has played.
"To finish it like this just felt so good," Mickelson said.
But it was Bradley who injected their pairing -- and the entire U.S. side -- with an infectious and entirely real enthusiasm that was in large part responsible for the Americans' 5-3 lead on Day 1.
"I just love every second of it," said Bradley, who is 26 going on 12, at least this weekend. "Being able to walk down the fairway with Phil, one of my idols, and do this is a dream come true. It's another moment in my life that I can't believe I'm a part of."
DAY 1: USA takes 5-3 lead
When Bradley wasn't splitting the fairways with prodigious drives, he was on fire on the greens. He put the Americans ahead on the second hole of their alternate-shot match with an 18-foot birdie putt, made another birdie on No. 9 from six feet to tie the match and won the match with a 40-foot birdie putt on No. 16.
In the afternoon four-ball matches, he continued hitting the ball so purely that his father Mark, the head professional at the Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club in Wyoming, marveled at what he was seeing.
"It sounds different," his father said after watching -- and listening to -- his son bomb a drive down the 14th fairway.
"Keegan was a huge factor in my play," said Mickelson, who was literally yanked out of his Ryder Cup doldrums by Bradley. "He's got such positive energy and he hits a lot of great shots. Alternate shot (the morning match) was my favorite because I got to hit the next shot. When we were walking down the first hole, and I'm 50 yards ahead of our playing partner in the middle of the fairway with a little L-wedge, I just knew that over the course of 18 holes, if you keep giving me wedges in the fairway, and having Keegan putt it next, we are going to be really tough to beat. And over 18 holes, I just think that the odds are going to be in our favor."
A Ryder Cup star has been born.
"There's a really simple reason Keegan is perfect for the Ryder Cup," Mickelson said. "The more pressure the situation, the better he plays, the better he sees the shot, the better he focuses and the better the result. There's no higher pressure situation than the Ryder Cup, and that's when he's at his best."
POSNANSKI: Team element is the beauty of the Ryder Cup
Amy Mickelson, Phil's wife, and Jillian Stacey, Bradley's girlfriend, couldn't help but notice how much fun the two men were having with each other.
"At lunch," Amy Mickelson said, smiling at Stacey, "it was like, we really didn't have to be there."
Bradley, the nephew of LPGA Hall of Famer Pat Bradley, went to the 1999 Ryder Cup at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., when he was 13. The atmosphere in Chicago reminded him of that experience. "I was just enjoying it and going crazy," he said.
It was so much fun for him that he didn't want it to end.
"Oh, baby," Bradley said, "I wish I could go 36 more."
That wasn't possible Friday, but the way he played, he's almost certain to get that chance Saturday.

Adapted from the Daily Nation
In the Samburu Game Reserve in Kenya, a lioness recently struck up friendship with an oryx calf in a spectacle that puzzled everyone including wildlife experts.
In a radical departure from its instincts, the full-grown lioness had been roaming in the reserve for the last two weeks in the company of the oryx, which it would ordinarily have killed for a meal. Tourists and game rangers watched in disbelief as the lioness and the frail brown baby oryx walked side by side and rested together, with the intimacy of a mother and her cub.
Amboseli National Park - in the AWF-designated Kilimanjaro Heartland - hosts an amazing profusion of diverse wildlife. The park is a stunning mosaic of grassy plains, clear springs, mud pans, and Phoenix palm woodland framed by the presence of Mount Kilimanjaro. After an intellectually rigorous, yet stimulating week in Nairobi, the first comprehensive meeting of AWF's Heartland Program staff transferred the meeting to the living conference facilities of Amboseli.
Washington, D.C. -- The African Wildlife Foundation's (AWF) Chairman of the Board, Stuart T. Saunders Jr., has announced that Dr. Patrick J. Bergin has been appointed to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer effective January 1, 2002. Dr. Bergin succeeds R. Michael Wright, AWF's President and CEO for the last seven and one half years. Mr. Wright is leaving AWF to join the MacArthur Foundation to direct its Conservation and Sustainable Development Program.
In October 2001, the African Wildlife Foundation and Princeton University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The MOU is intended to facilitate collaboration of both organizations in research, management and training activities aimed at enhancing the conservation of natural resources and landscapes in Africa. More specifically, the MOU enables AWF and Princeton University to:
A large bull elephant was poached in the Kilimanjaro Heartland on the foothills of Baash about 15 km from Longido town near the Kenya/Tanzanian border. This tragic event occurred in the Lake Natron Game Controlled Area, within a hunting block of Winget Hunting Safaris. According to local Maasai who reside nearby, on the evening of October 1, 2001, six unknown people were seen, two of whom carried guns. It is believed that these people shot the bull and then extracted its ivory tusks with a power saw.

Our master bath is across the house from the water heater. About 2 years ago, our recirculating pump went bad, causing us to have to wait about 3 minutes for hot water in the shower. It was replaced by a plumber under a home insurance plan. I now have a Grundfos pump.
We are now having the same symptoms. It takes about 3 or more minutes for the water to get hot. This just started a few days ago.
There appears to be a control panel and/or power supply connected to this pump. The power light is on. It says Goldline on the controls.
I was recommended to cut the power supply line from the pump to the control panel and put a plug on it. Then plug it in and see if it works.
I went today to buy a plug. I hooked it up the best I can, but I was unable to fully pull the cover over the prongs. The wires get in the way. I plugged it in to check for power, but nothing happened.
I need help to make sure I am hooking the plug up correctly - then to confirm that the pump is not working. If not, I need a recommendation on another brand, so I don't have to go through this again in 2 years.
I can send digital pics detailing the situation.
Thank you.

The BLM is always looking for people to assist the agency's Wild Horse and Burro Program. Volunteering your time, services, and expertise is a very rewarding experience and helps the program educate the public about mustangs and burros. As a volunteer, and likely an adopter, you have the opportunity to promote mustangs and burrros and educate the public. Ambassadors for the Wild Horse and Burro ProgramOne very easy way is to "showcase" your adopted and trained wild horse or burro at adoption events. It assists the potential adopter appreciate the beauty of the animal. If you can show people pictures of your mustang or burro shortly after adoption or even prior to your adoption while the animal was still in one of the BLM's temporary adoption locations, it provides a visual image of what you see when you initially adopt is not what you have after grooming, one-on-one care, and love.
You can also present other pictures to the potential adopter. Examples might be: during the training process, grooming, hoof, and veterinary care; also simple, yet very comforting and relaxing, trail riding. If you present your mustangs or wild burros at equine expos, shows, or events, this is also an excellent way to exhibit their versatility. A wild mustang or burro has the capability to be trained and accomplished in any discipline that a domestic equine can be.Additonally, the BLM is always in need of volunteers to assist in posting flyers about adoptions and events coming to your area. It is a simple and easy way to help the BLM promote adoptions. Please check with your state or local office on how you can volunteer.
All promotional activities must be approved and coordinated through the Public Affairs Specialist assigned to each adoption.
Compliance Checks
Many BLM states offer this demanding volunteer opportunity. This type of volunteering involves communicating with adopters and informing them of any areas of non-compliance, helping to correct any problems, and arranging timelines and follow-up inspections. Volunteers also work closely with compliance officers to provide compliance reports. Your local BLM office is the best place to start on receiving compliance training. Also, national training courses have been established.
BLM Facilities
In this opportunity, volunteers conduct tours to interested parties at BLM facilities.
A thorough understanding of the wild horse and burro program and the facility is required, including all areas within the facility that are not open to the public. Tour groups may be large or small in nature or may simply be individuals interested in adopting. A key skill is the ability to develop a good rapport with potential adopters and interested parties. If you are familiar with the facility and the animals available for adoption, you may also be able assist the adopter in the selection of an animal.Mentoring/Adopter's AssistanceBeing a mentor or an adopter's assistant is likely one of the most valuable services you can provide to the new adopter of a mustang or burro. There are many different ways on how support, guidance, and encouragement can be provided. Many new adopters may not understand that wild horses and wild burros are exactly that -- wild. For this reason, being a mentor who has already adopter a horse can help make the new adoption of a wild horse or burro into a success. Mentors provide adopters opportunity for feedback and suggestions.If you are interested in being a mentor, please contact your state or local office.
