As for my friend being able to retire, HE SPENT LESS THAN HE MADE. As my father used to say, "it is not how much you make, it is how much you save". I think he was much smarter than most. If the rich are part of the problem, THEN SO ARE THE UNIONS.
First not all jobs in non RTW states are u8nion. Most are not. Second even with shops that are union, a worker hyas a right to opt out. He may have to pay a representation fee that is less than a full union dues. But, a function of the union is to negotiate compensation and working conditions for all in that shop. Every person in that shop benefits from the efforts of that union.
But lets talk straight for a minute. This Republican crusade against unions is more about political power than concern for the worker. Since its establishment, the Republican party has never given a tinkers damn about the working man. It still doesn't. It is true that for the most part unions have supported the Democrats. You remember who your friends are. The anti-union Republican propaganda is a ginned up attempt to get at the funding source and campaign staffing of the opposition. That's really what republicans are about and they aren't honest enough to come clean.
I remind you, DA UNION (historically rife with violence and corruption) is nothing more than a cash cow for the progressives movement.
It's about Pelosi's "permanent majority," and I'll give you they no longer evem try to hide it.
You will, in your lifetime, regret at some level what you are claiming to support.
For the record, my only anti-union stand is public employees unions.
You know this, so any effort to explain would be a waste of time.
There are indeed some things private sector unions do well.
Especially in the trades.
You wanna' argue for the pristine purity of unions, go ahead, maybe you will convince yourself, but I doubt it!
I am not saying there have not been unions that have fallen under the control of the bad guys. The capers of a Hoffa and a few others have unfairly colored the image of the union movement as a whole. Most unions are militant against the intrusion of corruption and employment of violence. If a union goes violent then the full force of the law will come down upon them and they know it.
No, Stan, the unions are not there to be a cash cow for progressives. Their principle mission is to collectively bargain for their members. They will support those politicians that have been favorable to their viewpoint. During my involvement my unions have endorsed and supported pro-union republicans and recruited campaign workers for them. Regretably, there are so few in the Republican ranks that merit support. In terms of the overall pool of money entering the political campaigns, union money is not an overwhelming amount. If a member does not like how a union spends its money they can ask for that portion of their dues refunded to them. The union power comes not so much in its financial support, but from its ability to recruit "troops" in support of a campaign.
The union movement has also advocated for all of American labor besides it own membership:
--If you like a 40 work week, thank the unions and the Democrats.
--If you like overtime pay, thank the unions and the Democrats.
--If you like the concept of paid vacation time, thank the unions and the Democrats.
--If you benefit from health and safety regulations in the work place, thank the unions and the Democrats.
--If you support a living wage for all that work and thereby reducing reliance on government support, thank the unions and the Democrats.
I don't regret any of it.
They are honest, forthright and everything they do is legitimate and on the square.
No violence or threats have ever come from DA UNIONS.
Everything they do is above board and professional.
All they are about is caring for the people they represent that can't make it with out them.
With out DA UNIONS we would be no where.
Anyone have any ideas on where Hoffa is and HOW he got there?
Stan I think in my statement I said there have been unions that fell into the hands of bad guys, but you are attempting to raise a point that all unions are like that. That is not true for the majority. Unions are a human institution and they suffer from foibles that any human organization is prone. Unions are all about negotiating compensation and working conditions with employers that would prefer to see their employees as the Little Sisters of the Poor.
But, then this is really not Republican concern about the union's treatment of the poor working stiff. It is really about knocking out a political power source of the opposition. Republicans as a party, never promoted a cause in the interest of the working man.
If you read my post I stated that my issue is with public employee unions.
That was not acceptasble, it's either all or nothing today.
I know how some of the trades unions get guys and work connected.
I am doubtful with all the laws and rules today that the public employee unions save their people from the tyranny and the horrible conditions in their environments.

COMPASS BOWL: Ole Miss vs. Pittsburgh Saturday, noon at Birmingham
OXFORD – Gilbert Pena's path to college football was unconventional, so who can blame him if his thinking is, too?
Pena, a 6-foot-4, 317-pound nose tackle, wants the ball in his hands, and he doesn't want to have to strip the quarterback to get it.
So Pena has had conversations with Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze about playing on offense. He's not unfamiliar with that side of the ball.
"I was supposed to be a 265-pound tight end playing tight end in college. Then I took off for four years and put on 35 pounds. Now I'm playing straight nose tackle," he said.
Pena claims to have finesse and hands that would make him a success at tight end. He recalls the glory of catching passes with friends in pick-up games in his native New York City.
The four years off were to help care for his mother who was battling cancer. When her cancer went into remission friends encouraged him to take up football again.
"I didn't want to leave her alone. 18 years she'd been raising me, taking care of me. The least I could do was go out and get a job and kind of help her around the house and take some stress off her," Pena said. "That's exactly what they told me I needed to do. Cancer and stress, they don't mix well with each other."
Pena worked as a cook at an assisted living facility and in a plumbing and seating supply house. The money was good, and he was at first reluctant to pursue football.
But he did, and he had an all-conference season at a fledgling junior college in Brooklyn where he caught the attention of former Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt.
improved conditioning
Weight problems and conditioning were factors in an unremarkable debut season in 2011.
This season Pena was able to stay in games longer. He appeared in all 12, starting five, and finished with 30 tackles, 5.5 for losses and two sacks.
"Now I'm a 26-year-old guy about to graduate college and will hopefully get a chance to play on the next level," he says.
Freeze believes Pena can succeed in the NFL.
"I've finally gotten to watch a few NFL games now that our (regular) season's been over, and there are so many of them that are living in that 3-4 world where you have to have a 2-gap guy. I think Gilbert can do that," Freeze said.
Freeze did not express the same confidence that Pena can help the Rebels at tight end against Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl this Saturday.
Freeze's offensive creativity and the Rebels' tight end situation make a possible Pena package worth keeping an eye on. Ole Miss is down one tight end due to academics, and another is less than 100 percent coming back from an early November knee injury.
"He's eating me up about that," Freeze says. "He wants the football."

By Leslie Criss/NEMS Daily Journal
"Everything is created from moment to moment, always new. Like fireworks, this universe is a celebration and you are the spectator contemplating the eternal Fourth of July of your absolute splendor."
Francis Lucille
"The clouds above us come together and disperse; the breeze in the courtyard departs and returns. Life is like that, so why not relax? Who can keep us from celebrating?"
Every now and then, we get a call from someone letting us know we are entering a month that is designated as a time to commemorate or celebrate something. For example, June is Dairy Month.
But the month of June also belongs to a plethora of other causes or entities.
We politely tell the caller we can't do a story simply saying it's Dairy Month, but if there's someone nearby who gets up every morning and milks 50 cows, well, that's a story.
There's a large book we in the Living Department at the Journal receive each year. It's called Chase's Calendar of Events and it's updated annually. The book has nearly 800 pages.
As you might imagine, it is loaded with facts about each month and each day of the year.
Today, on the second day of June, let's see what the month – and this day – commemorate.
The month of June is Adopt-a-Cat Month (there are plenty at the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society's shelter); Audiobook Appreciation Month; Cancer from the Sun Month; Cataract Awareness Month; Effective Communications Month, National Accordion Awareness Month and National Bathroom Reading Month, to name only a few.
I also learned the first week of June is International Clothesline Week. We are all encouraged this week to save energy by abandoning our electric dryers and hanging our wet clothes outside on a clothesline.
The specific day, June 2, runs the gamut from serious to absurd.
Today is Children's Awareness Memorial Day. It's a day set aside each year to remember the many American children who have died from violence. It's a sad shame we have to have such a day.
It's Saint Erasmus Day, also known as Saint Elmo, the bishop of Formiae, Campagna, Italy who was the patron saint of sailors. The blue light seen around ship masts that marks atmospheric electricity is called St. Elmo's fire, from the belief it signifies St. Elmo's protection of sailors during storms.
It's the anniversary of the beginning of the Salem Witch Trials way back in 1692.
And my favorite by far, it's Yell "Fudge" at the Cobras in North America Day. In order to keep poisonous cobra snakes out of North America, all citizens are asked to go outside at high noon and yell "Fudge." Fudge apparently makes cobras gag, and just hearing the word mentioned makes them slither away.
Who knew?
And for the record, tomorrow, June 3, is National Leave the Office Earlier Day.

The apartment is ideal for families or couples who want to spend their summer holidays in a beach side apartment, in one of the most elegant areas of Athens. The nearest beach is only 500 m away, but also there are plenty of organized beaches in Voula and Vouliagmeni area. During summer time the coast line of Glyfada, Voula & Vouliagmeni areas are very popular choice for swimming , walking and dinning. Located close to the sea we are enjoying the fresh sea breeze in the summer time compared to the more warm center but most important away from any traffic jams and all the demonstrations that take place in the center of Athens. The apartment is very close to a pharmacy, banks and public transport 300 m away from the apartment. There is a bus station from where you can take a bus to the city centre. 500 m away from the apartment there is a super market, a bakery and a pharmacy. In only 200 m from the apartment you can find a playground for children.
Airport or any other transport is available upon demand at an additional but very reasonable cost.
Glyfada is a suburb of Athens, situated in the southern parts of the Athens Metropolitan Area. The area, which is home to many of Greece's millionaires, ministers and celebrities, stretches out from the foot of the Hymettus mountain and reaches out to embrace the Saronic Gulf. It is the largest of Athens' southern suburbs. This fashion-conscious suburb is known in Greece for its upmarket cafes, well-known restaurants, boutiques and cosmopolitan summer clubs; Glyfada has also been called "Knightsbridge-on-Sea", "Hellenic Hamptons", or the "Beverly Hills of Greece"
Glyfada was established as the heart of Athens' southern suburbs, because of its prime waterfront location, rich commercial centre, and modern business district. It has been described as the headpoint of the 'Athens Riviera' and features some of Europe's most opulent seafront residences, gardens and extensive beachfront property, with a modern marina.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The hotel was great! The area is a bit noisy, but you get used to it, the crowd that had begun at dawn. The beach was close but it was pretty crowded and messy so I had to go out every day can get away from beaches to search. The city, the bazaar is 10 minutes away by car. It was nice but a shame that such garbage, this was a bit dirty there would be observed.
The accommodation, receiving the keys was discussed according to each, it was absolutely fine !!!
The apartment is very good, near the metro that takes you to the center of Athens ... There is a bakery, pharmacy, cafes and a supermarket well next, George proved to be a good person and the next door neighbor has treated us very well and willing any kind of help.
French for "bobo", the place is ideal for the first view (exceptional), then the situation (quiet and 3 minutes walk from "peripatos" path that goes around the Acropolis ). For the hostess Marianne attentive and fluent French. And for "Terrace" surrounded by plants and trees which grow 2 which act as umbrella and a rooftop swimming pool that allows a necessary relaxation after hot days of sightseeing. Our favorite heart of the 5-occupied housing during our stay in Greece (tied with another). Thank you to Marianne.
Pour les français "bobo", l'endroit est idéal, pour la vue d'abord (d'exception), la situation ensuite ( calme et à 3 mn à pieds du "peripatos" : chemin qui fait le tour de l'Acropole). Pour l'hôtesse : Marianne attentive et parlant couramment français. Et puis, pour "la Terrasse" entourée de plantes et sur laquelle poussent 2 oliviers qui font office de parasol et une piscine sur le toit qui permet une détente nécessaire après de chaudes journées de visites. Notre coup de cœur parmi les 5 logements occupés pendant notre séjour en Grèce(à égalité avec un autre). Merci à Marianne.
We stayed at this beautiful apartment and we definitely would repeat. We didnt meet George, but we knew Panos, a great host. It was really beautiful and near Everything (shopping streets, bus stops, taxis, and walking it's 4 km away from the tourist part. Wifi was a little bit bad but we cant find something bad on this apartment. Thank you Panos! ;)
Great place to stay, quiet air conditioning, good location on the marina with an adjoining beach. Recommended!
Prima Unterkunft, leise Klimaanlage, gute Lage an der Marina mit angrenzendem Strand. Empfehlenswert!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Beautiful luxury apartment in rich, luxurious kind baby boomer neighborhood with unfortunately some ants in the kitchen and kakkerlak..was a shock but it remained at that one happy. Stainless steel appliances, except a microwave. Great two air conditioners and ice trays in the freezer, indispensable in the Athens heat. The owner was by George not informed of the time of our arrival, which was confusing for all. George Ws has what many apartments under its management; We have not seen his face IIG. We recommend the owner to leave some information about public transport (tram, metro, bus and taxi) because it takes time to sort out eea. The bakery around the corner is great. Beach is not next door but what stops away with the tram, we had no time for about, so much to see and do in the city :)
Mooi luxe appartement in rijke, luxe soort babyboomer buurt met helaas wat mieren in de keuken en een kakkerlak..was even schrikken maar t bleef bij die ene gelukkig. Alle denkbare keukenapparatuur, behalve een magnetron. Geweldig twee airco's en ijsblokjes trays in de vriezer, onmisbaar in de Atheense warmte. De eigenaar was door George niet op de hoogte gesteld van het tijdstip van onze komst, wat verwarrend voor allen was. Ws heeft George wat veel appartementen onder zijn beheer; wij hebben zijn gezicht iig niet gezien. We raden de eigenaar aan om wat info achter te laten over het openbaar vervoer (tram, metro, bus en taxi) want het kost tijd om eea uit te zoeken. De bakker om de hoek is geweldig. Strand is niet naast de deur maar wat haltes verderop met de tram, wij hadden er geen tijd voor over, zoveel te zien en te doen in de stad:)
We spend one beautiful week in Athens and the appartement in Kallithea provided for all our needs. A little balcony, air-cond., tv, a kitchen and a clean bathroom with washingmachine. The friendly owner was very polite and answered all our questions with a pleasant smile. Close to the appartement you`ll find a lovely bakery, a supermarket, a freddocino coffeshop and the best pita in town! With the bus stopping just in the next street, we could reach either the Akropolis or the beach within 15 min.
BTW: The allready tuned-in radiostation "Pepper 96,6" is fantastic!
I'm very satisfied. True as well and very clean
Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Wahr als gut und sehr sauber
We stay in the Villa really liked. The accommodation exceeded our expectations with respect to the outdoor area and the beautiful landscaping. The house was perfect for 2 families with one child. Eleni took care caring to us and we did not miss anything. Beautifully was also a roof terrace with views of the sea and at night the view of the starry sky.
A very relaxing and wonderful vacation in a very nice small mountain town with a very nice little tavern with very nice owners.
Uns hat der Aufenthalt in der Villa sehr gut gefallen. Die Unterkunft übertraf unsere Erwartungen bezogen auf das Außengelände und die wunderschöne Gartengestaltung. Das Haus war ideal für 2 Familien mit je einem Kind. Eleni hat sich fürsorglich um uns gekümmert und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Wunderschön war auch die Dachterrasse mit Blick auf das Meer und abends der Blick in den Sternenhimmel.
Ein sehr entspannender und wunderschöner Urlaub in einem sehr schönen kleinen Gebirgsstädtchen mit einer ganz netten kleinen Taverne mit sehr netten Inhabern.

The Black Monks of Mississippi are an order of musicians and singers who temporarily submit themselves to ideals of musical restraint and semi-strict adherence to the blues form, which Theaster Gates believes to be the most important root in the American musical tradition. The Black Monks strive to be holy, restrained, orderly, and disciplined, but they fall short. What they achieve instead is a very human response to displaced spiritual ecstasy, particularly in the flavor of the Black Church.
This event is one in a series of "monastic residencies" organized by 2010 artist Theaster Gates, who will collaborate with academics, artists, and street musicians in the Museum's Sculpture Court throughout the duration of the Biennial.

Video feature: USG offers worldwide welcome to Class of 2017
Posted September 4, 2013; 12:00 p.m.
Members of Princeton University's Undergraduate Student Government (USG) — who were spread out across the globe this summer as they pursue their academic and career interests — are offering a virtual welcome to the Class of 2017.
Play the "Welcome, Class of 2017" video.
In this video, students offer greetings and advice to freshmen, ranging from practical tips about organizing computer files and selecting classes, to guidance on tracking personal growth and maintaining family ties.
The USG members also introduce freshmen to the organization. The organization serves as a liaison to University administrators; has seats on the Council of the Princeton University Community, a representative body made up of students, faculty, staff and alumni; coordinates programs and services, such as discounts at local restaurants and retailers; hosts campuswide social events; and helps fund student organizations.
USG is one of hundreds of undergraduate student organizations — spanning dance, debate, education, entrepreneurship, the environment, ethnicity and nationality, media, music, political and special interest, religion, service, student government and theater — that allow Princeton students to pursue existing interests or explore new ones on campus. These organizations are created and run by students with support from the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and the USG's Projects Board.

Family: Bothidae, Lefteye Flounders view all from this family
Description The Pacific sanddab is a species of sanddab (Citharichthys sordidus). It is by far the most common sanddab, and it shares its habitat with the longfin sanddab (Citharichthys xanthostigma) and the speckled sanddab (Citharichthys stigmaeus). It is a medium sized flatfish, a light brown color mottled brown or black, occasionally with white or orange spots.
The Pacific sanddab is endemic to the northern Pacific Ocean, from the Sea of Japan to the coast of California. They are most commonly found at a depth of 50–150 m, though the young inhabit shallower waters, occasionally moving into tide pools.
It is an opportunistic predator, feeding on a variety of crustaceans, as well as smaller fish, squid, and octopuses.
It is a popular game fish in California, and is regarded as a delicacy, though it is not as popular elsewhere.
Dimensions Up to 16" (41 cm).
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

Yaaaaaaay, Arthur !!! ;D
Glad to hear you've taken the "tub" on it's maiden voyage. I'll admit, I had my doubts about that until I saw the wood bottom. Glad to hear the farm is coming on-line. I'll do the rest of up to speed through email.
Again, congratulations. I'm happy you finally got out. Dave.
|Ron, It is the SeaEagle 6, It is about 6 ft long, It has an inflatable floor, and also a plywood one to place over that. It is real stable, even an old man like me can standup in it. I really like the fact that I can carry a lot of gear. It will take 3 people, but that is crouding it. It will support 650 lbs. It is not as manueverable as a kayak, but to be able to carry a lot of gear, and be able to standup, means more to me, I am not looking to race anyone, just want to be able to get out far enough to hit those schools that are 2 casts offshore. Its type is a raft, and reasonably priced.
hi Art ---- What type size etc. is your inflatable? I assume it is a hard bottom? flat or V? Look forward to your response.
I finally got the chance to break away from the farm for a day, yesterday. I inflated the inflatable, and went to Quonochotaug Pond in Charlestown RI. I had no problem launching it. Rowed about halfway up the pond. Rowed into a westerly wind, incoming tide. The wind was atleast 15 knots, with a chop on the pond. Stopped in at the RIMS property to look over the Piping Plover problem. The whole beach is roped off with 2 walkways for beach access, walking only. Terrible situation. Each year those birds are taking more, and more of the beach for nesting, I wonder if they , the USFW, would close the Charlestown Breechway area, if a pair of birds decided to set up house there. Enough said.
Inflatable, surprised that there is not more inflatables around. Having a kayak, and having an inflatable I have decided I would rather have an inflatable.
Inflatable: light
easy to row
equipment easy to reach
very stable
able to stand for sight fishing, even in a 15 knt wind
can pack in the trunk of a compact car
plenty of room for a cooler, and the kitchen sink
able to use a small outboard
Disadvantage: appears to drift faster than a kayak.
Kayak: Light to medium heavy
restrictive movement, unable to stand
too low in the water
no room for equipment
paddle always in the way
Advantage: easy to maneuver, and faster
which are the only advantages
In my opinion an inflatable is a better fishing platform than a kayak

Do these Oscar eggs look fertile?!?
So my pair of Oscars laid eggs in my big aquarium that has plecos, a jack dempsey and a shark in it with them. After seeing the jack dempsey waiting for a turn at the eggs, I decided to take all the other fish out. While trying to do this, the shark disturbed the nest and flung eggs all over. A lot of eggs were stuck to a piece of decor so I salvaged what eggs that I could and put them in a 10 gallon tank (for now). I need opinions on whether you think these are fertile. In my honest opinion they look fertile from what I have seen and read, but this is also my first time. Any help is appreciated. These eggs were laid the morning of 12/29. Here are a couple pics:
A closer look:
In the next pic, the ones circled in red almost look like they have some of the fungus on them, but I am no expert.. The one with the black arrow looks like it may not be fertile?
Of the ones circled with black - one looks fertile one doesn't. Opinions please?? The others look fertile in my opinion.
Please give me advise, this is a first with Oscar eggs, however I have always owned Oscars. I also have another question. Since the eggs were not on a slate, I could not put the air underneath the eggs to fan them. There is an air bar in the back of the tank. Any opinions are welcome! I need help lol!
Even if they are fertile currently, I believe they will fungus and turn infertile soon if their parents are no longer taking care of the eggs.
do you have an update or did they not hatch?ask ?'s and change some water pair of JD's and loving it.

Cathryn Parry's first piece of romantic writing was a love letter she wrote to the boy who sat next to her in first grade. By the next Christmas, she was asking for a typewriter to organize her growing collection of adventure stories inspired by Nancy Drew. But it wasn't until Cathryn was an engineer working a less-than-inspiring job in a ball bearings factory that she dared to write her first novel, a romance about a woman who found the courage to pursue her deeply held dreams. After that, Cathryn knew for a fact she was a novelist, and was hooked on the writing process. In her non-writing life, she figure skates (she competes yearly at the U.S. Adult Nationals), travels as often as possible for fun and adventure, and haunts archives in the addictive quest for genealogy research. She lives in a small town in Massachusetts with her husband and near her large extended family. Cathryn loves to hear from readers.

Ford EcoBoost Demand Booms as Overall EV Sales Soften

Consumers choose fuel efficient normal vehicles over EVs and hybrids
Despite the fact that gas prices are at record levels in many parts of the country, the sales of electric vehicles are still falling. Many consumers are staying away from electric vehicles due to the relatively high cost of entry and range anxiety (in the case of the Nissan Leaf).
Two of the most popular electric vehicles in the country are the
Chevrolet Volt
and the Nissan Leaf. The Volt isn't a traditional electric vehicle; rather it's an extended range hybrid that runs on battery power and features a generator to recharge the battery for extended driving. GM says that in the month of April 2012 1,462 Volts were sold, which represents 200% increase from April of 2011 when 493 were sold.
April was the second best month for retail sales of Volt cars since it launched in 2010. Interestingly, the good month for Volt sales comes not long after
GM suspended production
of the car due to soft demand.
Chevrolet Volt sales are up.
While sales of the Volt were up, the Nissan Leaf saw sales fall 35% with only 370 units sold. Nissan hopes to sell 20,000 Leaf EVs this year, and will have to sell over 2200 monthly to meet that goal.
While electric vehicle sales are down, Ford has a booming business with its fuel-efficient
EcoBoost-powered vehicles
. Ford has announced that it has started a third shift at the Cleveland plant that builds EcoBoost engines.
The addition of a third shift to the engine building plant will add 250 jobs. However, most of those positions will be filled by employees that are transferring from a different Cleveland engine plant that will be placed on idle later this week.
The 2013 Ford Fusion will offer two EcoBoost four-cylinder engine options.
"Our engine plant in Cleveland is the first and only facility in North America to produce EcoBoost engines, and we are tripling production capacity to meet customers' growing needs for fuel-efficient engines," said Ford Americas President Mark Fields during a celebration with employees at the plant Tuesday. "EcoBoost engines are a key part of our plan to give customers the power of choice — from EcoBoost-powered vehicles and hybrids, to plug-in hybrids and full electrics."
Ford's EcoBoost engine has found its way the under the hood of everything from
full-sized trucks
small economy vehicles
. EcoBoost engines use a smaller displacement engine with turbochargers for increased power and fuel efficiency.

The Hope College men's tennis team hosts the first of five home indoor tennis matches in preparation for the outdoor season on Wednesday (Feb. 14) when the Flying Dutchmen host Grand Rapids Community College (3:30 p.m.) at the college's DeWitt Tennis Center.
The indoor matches will be a prelude to the team's annual spring break trip to Hilton Head, S.C. from March 19-23. The regular season begins in late March culminated by Hope hosting the MIAA championships from May 4-5.
Coach Steve Gorno returns six players from the 2000 team which finished second in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and posted a school-record 19-5 dual match record. In eight seasons, Gorno has guided the Dutchmen to a 92-61 dual match record.
The co-captains are seniors Kai Bouchard of Hinsdale,, Ill. (Hinsdale Township Central HS) and Kevin Gingras of Muskegon (Mona Shores HS). Other returning letterwinners are junior Matt Bradley of Hastings (Hastings HS), junior Josh Honholt of Grand Rapids (Forest Hills HS), junior Raj Malviya of Holland (Holland HS), and junior Dan Mann of Spring Lake (Grand Haven HS).
Rounding out the eight-member squad are freshmen Erik Frost of Midland (Midland HS) and Derek Phelan of Warren (Warren Woods Tower HS).
Mann, who most likely will play at the number one singles spot, achieved All-MIAA first team honors as a freshman while Bouchard received All-MIAA second team recognition for the second consecutive year.
Last spring Mann (2nd flight), Bouchard (3rd), Malviya (5th) and Honholt (sixth flight) finished second in their respective flights at the MIAA championships. Bouchard, Mann and Gingras were members of doubles teams that were second at the MIAA championships.
The Hope tennis program continues to benefit from the college's DeWitt Tennis Center, a six-court facility that opened in 1994. This facility has allowed Hope's tennis teams to have an indoor season during Michigan's winter months. The Dutchmen were 5-1 indoors last year.

Australia 1900 – United States of America 1982
United States from 1919
Model Ruth Curlett in red sun hat
half tone
image 33.0 (h) x 25.0 (w) cm
In the mid 1930s Edward Steichen pioneered the use of discreet semi-nude shots in an advertising campaign for Cannon towels. Bruehl rarely attempted such material. His shot of Ruth Curlett seen from behind and modelling nothing more than a red hat was an anomaly and perhaps meant to show he that could match Steichen. It was intended to be a cover of Vogue in 1936 but was considered too risqué for the postal service and moved to an inside page. The model, Ruth Curlett, defended the photographer's discernment, saying 'I was adequately clad in Bruehl's best shadows'.

Zantac Injection
Endoscopy Overused in Heartburn Patients »
"Dec. 4, 2012 -- Acid reflux is the most common reason U.S. adults undergo a procedure where a viewing tube is put down their throat. But many people don't need it, according to new advice from one of internal medicine's main professional groups."...
Zantac Injection
Transient pain at the site of IM injection has been reported. Transient local burning or itching has been reported with IV administration of ZANTAC.
The following have been reported as events in clinical trials or in the routine management of patients treated with oral or parenteral ZANTAC. The relationship to therapy with ZANTAC has been unclear in many cases. Headache, sometimes severe, seems to be related to administration of ZANTAC.
Central Nervous System
Rarely, malaise, dizziness, somnolence, insomnia, and vertigo. Rare cases of reversible mental confusion, agitation, depression, and hallucinations have been reported, predominantly in severely ill elderly patients. Rare cases of reversible blurred vision suggestive of a change in accommodation have been reported. Rare reports of reversible involuntary motor disturbances have been received.
As with other H2-blockers, rare reports of arrhythmias such as tachycardia, bradycardia, asystole, atrioventricular block, and premature ventricular beats.
Constipation, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, abdominal discomfort/pain, and rare reports of pancreatitis.
In normal volunteers, SGPT values were increased to at least twice the pretreatment levels in 6 of 12 subjects receiving 100 mg intravenously 4 times daily for 7 days, and in 4 of 24 subjects receiving 50 mg intravenously 4 times daily for 5 days. There have been occasional reports of hepatocellular, cholestatic, or mixed hepatitis, with or without jaundice. In such circumstances, ranitidine should be immediately discontinued. These events are usually reversible, but in rare circumstances death has occurred. Rare cases of hepatic failure have also been reported.
Rare reports of arthralgias and myalgias.
Blood count changes (leukopenia, granulocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia) have occurred in a few patients. These were usually reversible. Rare cases of agranulocytosis, pancytopenia, sometimes with marrow hypoplasia, and aplastic anemia and exceedingly rare cases of acquired immune hemolytic anemia have been reported.
Controlled studies in animals and humans have shown no stimulation of any pituitary hormone by ZANTAC and no antiandrogenic activity, and cimetidine-induced gynecomastia and impotence in hypersecretory patients have resolved when ZANTAC has been substituted. However, occasional cases of gynecomastia, impotence, and loss of libido have been reported in male patients receiving ZANTAC, but the incidence did not differ from that in the general population.
Rash, including rare cases of erythema multiforme. Rare cases of alopecia and vasculitis.
A large epidemiological study suggested an increased risk of developing pneumonia in current users of histamine-2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) compared to patients who had stopped H2RA treatment, with an observed adjusted relative risk of 1.63 (95% CI, 1.07-2.48). However, a causal relationship between use of H2RAs and pneumonia has not been established.
Rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., bronchospasm, fever, rash, eosinophilia), anaphylaxis, angioneurotic edema, acute interstitial nephritis, and small increases in serum creatinine.
Read the Zantac Injection (ranitidine hydrochloride injection) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Ranitidine has been reported to affect the bioavailability of other drugs through several different mechanisms such as competition for renal tubular secretion, alteration of gastric pH, and inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes.
Ranitidine, a substrate of the renal organic cation transport system, may affect the clearance of other drugs eliminated by this route. High doses of ranitidine (e.g., such as those used in the treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome) have been shown to reduce the renal excretion of procainamide and N-acetylprocainamide resulting in increased plasma levels of these drugs. Although this interaction is unlikely to be clinically relevant at usual ranitidine doses, it may be prudent to monitor for procainamide toxicity when administered with oral ranitidine at a dose exceeding 300 mg per day.
There have been reports of altered prothrombin time among patients on concomitant warfarin and ranitidine therapy. Due to the narrow therapeutic index, close monitoring of increased or decreased prothrombin time is recommended during concurrent treatment with ranitidine.
Ranitidine may alter the absorption of drugs in which gastric pH is an important determinant of bioavailability. This can result in either an increase in absorption (e.g., triazolam, midazolam, glipizide) or a decrease in absorption (e.g., ketoconazole, atazanavir, delavirdine, gefitinib). Appropriate clinical monitoring is recommended.
Atazanavir absorption may be impaired based on known interactions with other agents that increase gastric pH. Use with caution. See atazanavir label for specific recommendations.
Delavirdine absorption may be impaired based on known interactions with other agents that increase gastric pH. Chronic use of H2-receptor antagonists with delavirdine is not recommended.
Gefitinib exposure was reduced by 44% with the coadministration of ranitidine and sodium bicarbonate (dosed to maintain gastric pH above 5.0). Use with caution.
In diabetic patients, glipizide exposure was increased by 34% following a single 150-mg dose of oral ranitidine. Use appropriate clinical monitoring when initiating or discontinuing ranitidine.
Oral ketoconazole exposure was reduced by up to 95% when oral ranitidine was coadministered in a regimen to maintain a gastric pH of 6 or above. The degree of interaction with usual dose of ranitidine (150 mg twice daily) is unknown.
Oral midazolam exposure in 5 healthy volunteers was increased by up to 65% when administered with oral ranitidine at a dose of 150 mg twice daily. However, in another interaction study in 8 volunteers receiving IV midazolam, a 300 mg oral dose of ranitidine increased midazolam exposure by about 9%. Monitor patients for excessive or prolonged sedation when ranitidine is coadministered with oral midazolam.
Triazolam exposure in healthy volunteers was increased by approximately 30% when administered with oral ranitidine at a dose of 150 mg twice daily. Monitor patients for excessive or prolonged sedation.

I made some rounds in the last hour to take the temperature of Apple (AAPL) iPhone sales in Manhattan.
My local Sprint (S) store was sold out of the iPhone 5S. The nearby Verizon (VZ) store had a line of about ten people and the store assistant wasn't letting anyone in. She said the store had the "space gray" model of the 5S, but none of the gold or white finish models. The local AT&T (T) store was sold out entirely. All stores still had stock of the iPhone 5C. The AT&T rep quoted me a wait time now of three weeks to get a 5S.
At the Apple store on the Upper West Side, where there was still a line of about 40 to 50 standing outside at mid-day, one store employee told me it appeared only space gray models were in stock, and with varying availability by carrier, with "only a few" AT&T models on hand.
At the flagship 5th Avenue store, across the street from the Plaza Hotel, there was still a queue of what appeared to be at least a couple hundred. A store rep said both the white and the gold models of the 5S were sold out. He indicated supplies of space gray varied by carrier. Asked if one might come back later in the day, the rep remarked "they'll probably be gone by the end of the day."
There was a second line outside the store, of about 100 people, just to get in to browse or shop for other products. A rep told me the store was so crowded, people from this second queue are being let in at a rate of 20 at a time. He said the line was moving "fairly fast."
Apple shares closed down $4.89, or 1%, at $467.41, surrendering earlier gains.
Update: AllThingsD's Ina Fried writes that Apple representatives commented demand "has been incredible" and that the company is "currently sold out or have limited supply of certain iPhone 5S models in some stores."
Update 2: As of this evening, the 5th Avenue store had run out of all models of the iPhone 5S except for people who are Sprint customers.

Hugh Freeze talked of the wilderness and talked of rebuilding in the off-season. He's never talked about winning and losing, and that didn't change at his first regular season presser.
Freeze stayed on message Monday, choosing not to pressure his players into thinking they have to win, even against an FCS opponent in Central Arkansas. Hugh's Message
The most definitive statement Freeze has made about his quarterbacks came on Monday when he said "probably around" Wednesday he would name a starter. Being the starter only means you get the first chance to not come out of the game. Freeze has said whoever had the hot hand would play, a kind of "make it, take it" approach to his two-quarterback system. So the best way to stay on the field is to lead a scoring drive every time. That's what Bo Wallace intends to do. Notebook

New signing on West Park Cycle Route
(Personally, I go down Reid Street as the junctions are much nicer at both ends...)
New signs are badly needed on the various routes around the town as existing signs are either missing or turned around to point the wrong way. These new signs look much sturdier than the old design, and the posts are square so they can't be turned around.
I believe that each of the radial routes will have a different colour (West Park being green). I like the idea of being able to tell someone to get to my house by following the green route until they reach North Park and then follow the orange (?) route.
Signposting the West Park route from town could also help ease any "antisocial" cycling in the Pedestrian Heart, as Police and Wardens will be able to tell kids playing on their bikes on the steps that they can follow the arrows to get to the 4X track.
I'd like to see the signposting extending to include points of interest, like supermarkets and local shopping centres.
Has anyone else seen any other new signposts?

I spotted the Greenbank Road/Bondgate sign yesterday. I agree, it will help a lot to have these colour coded signs, not least as it will easily identify the infrastructure yet to be built (eg at said road junction).
I think the Campaign should do a quality test for each route this year, with suggestions for making them more comfortable/safe/direct.

I'm not sure who timed these, but it takes me far less than five minutes to cycle along Greenbank Road
- did you take into account all the "give ways" and general stopping and starting every time you hit a road?

The five minutes is just from one end of Greenbank Road to the other,
which is half a mile according to Google Maps.
I know I'm probably at the faster end of the cycling spectrum, but
6mph is a bit slow even taking account of all the getting on and off.
If my maths is right, my commute would take me 32.5 minutes at 6mph.
If the point of the times is to make people realise that it wouldn't take long to cycle somewhere, overestimating the time is self-defeating.
Perhaps we should do two test runs of each route? One straight
through, which we time, and then another where we stop to take
photographs to highlight good and bad points of the route.

Cycling home tonight, I (very roughly) timed riding along Greenbank Road. It took me 90 seconds, which is considerably less than the signage suggests - 20mph.
My journey home took 21 minutes (including walking to and unlocking my bike at work and putting my bike in the garage and walking round to the house at home!) which is 9mph.

Agree with quality testing each routes and couldnt resist the following story in this mornings Newcastle Journal. I believe that theres also a vid on You Tube:
Shortest cycle lane in world?
Apr 2 2008 by Paul James, The Journal
IS this the most pointless cycle lane in the North East? Consultancy boss and triathlete Karl McCracken bikes around 3,000 miles a year around the region, either training for his next sporting challenge or commuting to meet clients.
But one of the latest additions to the North East's cycle route, outside the flagship new Gateshead College campus on the banks of the Tyne, isn't likely to add much to his rides.
For the dotted lines at either end of the new lane give the cyclist a mere 10-metre ride along Hawks Road.
Gateshead Council insist that the cycle lane is still under construction, but Karl has made a video of his attempts to use the new lane to his website, asking readers if it is the shortest cycle lane in the world.
He also claims the road layout encourages cars into the path of the cyclists and says: "The funny thing is, someone, somewhere, thought this was a good idea."
And while he sees the funny side of his find, the 38-year-old is hoping to shame Gateshead Council and the region's other local authorities into providing something more than "token" provision for cyclists.
The 38-year-old, who lives with wife Cathy and their six-year-old daughter Rosie in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, yesterday said other North councils were not faring much better than Gateshead.
He said: "The Government wants people to get cycling, but the provision to do that just isn't there.
"If you compare Newcastle and Gateshead to a city like Copenhagen, 35% of journeys are made by bike in Copenhagen but the proportion here is tiny – you might see a bike for every 200 or 300 cars. There is no integrated strategy and no real attempt to make cycling the alternative to driving.
"Bearing in mind the size of Newcastle and Gateshead, you can walk across Newcastle in an hour or so and cycle end-to-end in about 20 minutes.
"Yet there's an infrastructure that actively discourages people from doing it."
But Nick Clennett, head of transport and highways for Gateshead Council, defended the cycle lane, saying it was part of a larger development.
He said: "This lane appears so short because it is unfinished.
"This short section of on-road cycle lane is designed to protect cyclists as they turn on to a new shared-use footway which is yet to be built on Quarryfield Lane. The road markings were completed by the developer first prior to the start of construction of the footway, but this is due to get under way in the next week or so.
"When the work is complete in the next month or so, it will form part of much more extensive series of cycle facilities which will serve both the new Gateshead College and the new Baltic Business Quarter."
However, the Cyclists' Touring Club, who campaign to make cycling enjoyable, safe and welcoming for all, yesterday criticised the "idiotic" lane.
CTC's campaigns policy co-ordinator Chris Peck said: "This is an idiotic and dangerous lane, encouraging cyclists to keep left even though it's a traffic calmed, 20mph zone."

Pitt: Brandon Lindsey Interview
Posted on 28 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Going into the 2010 season, the Pitt Panthers football team had higher expectations than usual. Playing in a weaker conference, the Big East, as well as returning a boatload of talent, 2010 seemed to be BCS game or bust. While the team finished 8-5 overall (5-2 in conference) and earned a bid to the BBVA Compass Bowl against Kentucky, expectations were not met. Not everything about the s...

As fans of the film are aware, that precipitous crag atop which the castle of Young Frankenstein sits is a Catskill. But in The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein (at the Opera House through May 2), the mountain is shrouded less in 1930s-horror-movie gloom than in Vegas glitz. Despite lightning bolts both musical and visual, the tongue-in-cheek dolor of the cinematic original gives way to neon, strobes, and borrowings less from 1931 Frankenstein director James Whale than from, well, Young Frankenstein director Mel Brooks in a more colorful if self-cannibalizing mood. The horses still whinny every time the name of Frau Blucher is invoked. We hear the laugh-triggering catch phrases, from "Werewolf/there, wolf" to "It's alive!" — and fans anticipate them the way they do the comic grails of Spamalot. But the eagerly awaited 2007 musical based on the 1974 film hardly rises to the bar set by The Producers, the 2001 Broadway reincarnation of the 1968 Brooks film that won a record-setting 12 Tony Awards. Not that that means it's a complete washout — especially in the polished touring version headlined by original star Roger Bart, a Frankenstein as insistent on the tweaked pronunciation of his surname as Gene Wilder was in the film.
Of course, The Producers had going for it the milieu of Broadway, where its pair of title shysters try to make a fortune off an overcapitalized flop, and even production numbers lesser than "Springtime for Hitler" fit right in. In Young Frankenstein, Brooks adapts less obviously transferable material with his usual bawdy, burlesque sauciness and blunt double entendre. But his songs, when not wryly quoting standards from Fiddler to Phantom, feel dashed off. Is it any wonder, then, that the one terrific number — pilfered from the film but ingeniously expanded upon by director/choreographer Susan Stroman — was written by Irving Berlin? Here, when Frankenstein introduces his monster to the Transylvanian medical community and hoi polloi by dressing the creature up in a tuxedo and dueting with him to "Puttin' on the Ritz," Rye Mullis's looming, lurching mass of reanimated tissue, tap-dancing on cothurni, his plaintive countenance as green as Wicked's Elphaba's, is joined first by an even larger and nimbler shadow doppelgänger and then by a dozen in the flesh.
Would that the rest of this extravagant mélange of hoky creepiness and even hokier comedy were so inspired. But as with Disney's Beauty and the Beast rather than its The Lion King, every effort has been made to replicate rather than reinvent the material. First, there's a brief prologue in which, following the following of the coffin of the recently deceased Baron Victor von Frankenstein, the Transylvanian peasantry ditch their umbrellas and funereal weeds in favor of what look like folk-dancing threads. But quickly we're off to find our hero among his medical students at New York's "John, Miriam, and Anthony Hopkins School of Medicine" (one of the few unrecycled jokes), insisting that he has no interest in continuing the sinister scientific shenanigans of his grave-robbing Gramps. Then, before we can say "Mary Shelley Berman," YF is being waved off to Europe by his mushily frigid socialite fiancée, asking, "Pardon me, boy, is this the Transylvania Station?", and heading toward his destiny in a rickety hay wagon accompanied by the wanderingly humpbacked Igor and the buxom milkmaid of a lab assistant, Inga.

15,000 Aborted Babies used to Heat UK Hospital
Ten National Health Service (NHS) trusts have admitted incinerating fetal remains with garbage used in 'waste-to-energy' plants to create power for heat in hospitals.
At least 15,500 fetal remains were incinerated by 27 National Health Service trusts over the last two years alone, according to the Washington Times.
Trusts admitted to burning fetal remains alongside garbage.
One of the plants Ipswich Hospital, said to be responsible for burning 1,101 remains between 2011 and 2013, was operating privately using another hospital's remains and without Ipswich's knowledge.
In other locations Addenbrooke Hospital in Cambridge cooked 797 babies that were only 13 weeks or under reported by one of these plants.
According to the NYDailynews mothers of those babies were allegedly told their remains were cremated.
"This practice is totally unacceptable," said Health Minister Dr. Dan Poulter. "While the vast majority of hospitals are acting in the appropriate way, that must be the case for all hospitals and the Human Tissue Authority has now been asked to ensure that it acts on this issue without delay."

Darlington: stolen bike (updated)
A silver Carrera Vulcan (black wheels, skinny Conti sports contact tyres, Flite TT saddle & big red flat pedals, LX cranks, XT mech, Avid Vs) was nicked from outside the Dolphin centre yesterday evening - all locked up through both wheels & the frame.
(Image credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mike_mc/3651479680/)
Update: As a result of this theft, we noticed that it was possible to pull the vertical posts apart and so remove a horizontal bar and unthread any locks on that bar. The council have repaired the racks, and have welded the bars in place.
Extra: A teenager is appealing for help to find his bike, which was nicked from outside Darlington College a few weeks ago.

He's had a bike nicked from there before and the CCTV operators said they had no footage (though it didn't sound like they looked hard).
I've contacted the Council to see if there's a CCTV issue on those racks.

It was my bike that got taken - thanks for posting it up Mike
Between 17:45 & 19:40
Locked with a Kryptonite cable type lock, not a sign of anything when I came out
It wasn't a valuable bike but I've had it for a few years & very fond of it as it got used for most of my 'buzzing' around town so I probably rode that one more than any of my bikes
I'll keep an eye on ebay & the like for a few days
thanks all

whilst attending the police station today to make a full report - the PC informed me that another bike was taken off the same rack at the same time.
Mike looked at the rack & it appears that the uprights can be spread, possibly enabling a lock to be slipped through the gap between the horiz. bar & the upright
Take care when using these racks & make sure any lock is under the bottom horiz. bar

Whilst attending the "Greener Darlington Assembly" in the Dolphin Centre yesterday, I couldn't park up at these stands, as the council were working on them, I think re-setting them into the ground.
Not yet been back since the work was finished, but with any luck this will have resolved the spreadable uprights.
Well done the council if that is the case.

Yes, I had the same "problem" yesterday, had to park my bike against a lamp post, while I was attending the conference. I think it is also time for the council to set up more cycle parking facilities here, as these four stands are very often taken (by motor bikes as well).
- 9:30 am, June 27, 2009
Can you claim off the council for your bike getting stolen due to having an unsecure bike stand?
- 6:39 pm, July 03, 2009
- wuppidoc said...
I am not so sure, whether they are liable but if you want to try to sue them.......but actually I would rather argue for more and better cycle stands, this one is supposed to be retro (and then thought to be beautiful) but quite useless for everyday cyclists because of the design. And it invites motorbikes to just put their thrones in between the stands, thus blocking bicycles.
Best wishes

The bike has been spotted - still in Darlington & modified

I thought I would let it simmer for a bit before I weighed in.. and now I just can't keep my blog silent on this.
So, at a risk of pissing a bunch of folks off.. here it goes.
By now, if you are an active Scouter, you are aware of the young man named James Hightower III. He was presented his Eagle award on the Steve Harvey show.
This ambitious Scout earned his Eagle award at age 12. (he is now 13) He earned 61 merit badges, the last of which, the ever so tough Fingerprinting on the Steve Harvey show.
He is a member of the Order of the Arrow and appears to rank among the young genius' of our time. Band, Leadership in his Church, etc etc.
OK.. you all know that I am one that believes in maintain standards. First, there is no age limit other than 18 for earning the rank of Eagle Scout, I get that.. but let's do the math.
He crosses over at a minimum of 10 1/2 years old. Earned his Eagle rank at 12. From First Class to Star the Scout must be active with his Troop for at least 4 months. During that 4 months, he needs to serve as a leader for that time period. Then from Star to Life, the Scout needs to serve as an active member of his Troop for 6 months. During that time, he needs to serve in a leadership position and do service. We are up to at least 10 months… not to mention the 30 days it takes to earn Tenderfoot and at least a few months to get to First Class. Since joining, he would have participated in 10 separate troop/patrol activities (other than troop/patrol meetings), three of which included camping overnight. In most Troops that would represent at least 3 months. So the simple math is 14 months. He is now 11 1/2 or 12 depending on when his birthday is.
Then he must serve for another 6 months as a Life Scout to earn Eagle. We are now 20 months into this young mans Scouting life.
20 months.
Some one please tell me. Has he really practiced real leadership? How much leading has he done? Was he the Librarian and Historian for his leadership? I know they count, but really.. we are talking about an Eagle Scout here.
Yes I know that this wunderkind is active in many areas of his life. Which begs the question. When did his have all this time to lead, earn merit badges, rank, perform service projects etc? Band, Church, Junior National Honor Society, active in the Order of the Arrow, Top Teens Program… 20 months as a Scout. Just think about the Scouts in your Troop.
OK.. 20 months… Most Troops camp 11 times a year and go to Summer camp in that 11 months. He needs 20 nights camping for the Eagle Required Camping Merit badge. That's 6 camp outs plus a 6 night summer camp. So that's the first year. 12 of the 20 months got the basic nights out-of-the-way. I assume as a leader he attends most if not all camp outs.. after all, that is where leadership and the Patrol method are really practiced.
10 1/2 to 12 years old is one and a half years. That's 18 months. Now we don't know when his birthday is, but the numbers do not add up. From a math point of view and a practical point of view. What has this young man got out of the Eagle experience.
The article says he plans on staying in Scouting. That's awesome. Maybe now he will become the Eagle that he is.
I am sorry if I seem to be bashing this young man. I am not. I am really bashing his Adult leadership for not ensuring that the process is producing Character, Citizenship, and Fitness.. not just Eagle Scouts.
I applaud this young man for his achievement… I don't know how he did it… 61 merit badges alone takes time.. when did he find all that time in 18 months. I am sure he has friends, school, and eats and sleeps on occasion.
When people see the Eagle badge, they think leadership, accomplishment, self-reliance, the ability to serve and accomplish tasks. When I see a 12-year-old.. I think HOW? I wish I could applaud and not question. But I have been a Scoutmaster for a long time and just can not see how this works.
For me, it takes away from every person that has earned the award and has come through Scouting with Knowledge, experience, and the ability to lead as a servant.
Again, I am sorry if I question this young mans achievement. I just can't see how this math works, which makes me believe that those standards are being manipulated some how. And that my friends, I can not tolerate. I never hold back a Scout, but I do make sure that he does it right. I make sure that he is completing the requirements without short cuts. I do not add to or take away any requirements and produce no false road blocks. As a Scoutmaster, I just make sure that the experience is more important than the badge.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Centenary College Announces Hackettstown High School Scholarship Award Winner
Hackettstown, N.J.– Centenary College has announced the recipient of the Hackettstown High School student scholarship for the fall semester of 2013 — Alex Bunting. The scholarship is one of the ongoing partnerships between the institutions.
"This annual scholarship was established in 2007 to recognize and honor one Hackettstown High School student each year who has excelled academically and has demonstrated the qualities that this institution values," says Dr. Barbara-Jayne Lewthwaite, President of Centenary College. "I am so pleased that Alex has been selected for this honor and look forward to seeing him on campus next month."
This scholarship covers tuition for one Hackettstown High School student during his or her four-year stay.
Bunting, who is a resident of Hackettstown, plans to study Environmental Science. Bunting would like to work as an environmentalist at a fish hatchery once he graduates. The recent partnership with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the College on the new Centenary College Environmental Science Center sold Bunting on the fact that Centenary was the institution where he wanted to embark on his academic journey.
"I am so ecstatic that I was awarded this scholarship," says Bunting. "Centenary College was always my first choice and I planned to attend, regardless. Finding out that I received the scholarship, however, was life changing. I take this opportunity very seriously."
Bunting appreciates the fact that Centenary College is an institution that emphasizes on the importance of community service. In fact, he admires the fact that Centenary Wrestlers are known for shoveling the snow of the Centenary neighbors. During his time at Centenary, he plans to become involved in the Evergreen Club, the Outdoors Club and the Bass Fishing Club, especially since he is familiar with every pond within a 10 mile radius surrounding Hackettstown!
"I have a love for fishing and the ecosystem completely fascinates me," says Bunting. "I plan to take a leadership role in these organizations on campus and, hopefully, instill the importance of the environment on students and even young members of the community."
Bunting is also a Centenary legacy. His mother, Stephanie Bunting, and his aunt, Jennifer Cory, are graduates. In fact, Centenary has always been a part of his life as some of his earliest memories are attending pre-school on campus.
"I would like to congratulate Alex for being selected for this honor," says David Mango, Hackettstown Superintendent of Schools. "He was an impressive candidate and I wish him much success at Centenary College. I would also like to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Bunting as it is obvious that they have done a tremendous job with their son."
Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary College's academic program integrates a solid liberal arts foundation with a strong career orientation. This mix is designed to provide an educational experience that prepares students to succeed in the increasingly global and interdependent world.
Centenary College's main campus is located in Hackettstown, N.J., with its equestrian facility in Washington Township (Morris County). The Centenary College School of Professional Studies offers degree programs in two locations: Parsippany and Edison, and at corporate sites throughout New Jersey. The School of International Programs recruits international students for study at Centenary and Centenary students for study abroad.

On land: The widest board of the test group features the timeless wood design and looks wider and a thin like the shape of a spoon. The noble Deboichet design fin fits into the bombproof tuttle box ( that has wider fin bolt recesses to offer more space for the fingers). In contrast to the previous model "Carve", the Futura has noticeable cut-outs under the wide tail. The straps are the most easy and fastest straps to adjust. The deck is very flat,?? altogether the board itself is very slim. The footstrap positions are very sport-orientated, but also suit beginners. The important moderate freerideposition in the back is missing.
On the water: The Futura should be the fusion of the legendary Freerideboard "Carve" and the fast Freeracer "S-Type" into one concept. With its outside footstrap position, the low but stable planing position and the efficient grip of the fin, the board does a good job in the sporty category. The board guarantees on all courses a safe and full grip, runs free easily and planes smooth with great control (stable on all axis) over the water surface. The board turns amazingly well and belongs to the?? best narrow turning boards but narrow will lose speed. To carve power jibes through, a very good technique is necessary when the board works excellent in wide jibes and the extreme stability helps power jibe students progress. With that, the board fulfills the second demand: it is easy to sail and the powerjibe can be learned easily. In our opinion, an additional back footstrap postion for the freerider without race ambitions is missing. The outside position is extremly race orientated and is not so easy to get in and out (but once you are in it fits great). The next inside position is positioned some centimeters further in front and inside and is not comfortable for long powered-up reaches.
Conclusion:Excellent in control, very stable planing freerider with race feeling.

Good Question: Who gets called for jury duty?
SPOKANE, Wash. - It's the ultimate in checks and balances, the very thing that makes our legal system great. But, for a lot of people, jury duty is nothing more than a colossal inconvenience.
For some people, it's enough to make their stomachs drop when they see the summons in the mail. I know that feeling - I've been called for jury duty three times in just over four years.
I wanted to know what many of you have also wondered: who gets called for jury duty?Good Question: Who gets called for jury duty?
"It's the luck of the draw, yet it is," Leanne Wakefield assured me. She's the assistant court administrator and has been helping corral juries for a long time.
She assured me that, while I appear to be just lucky when it comes to getting called for jury duty so many times, they really don't know my name is Luck when it's time for me to be summoned.
"When we summons, we tell the system, 'we need x amount of jurors for the cases two months later' and it goes out randomly. It picks however many people, it's random," Wakefield said. "We can't look at the names or anything like that."
In Spokane, it all happens on the computers in the jury office on the third floor of the courthouse annex. Voter registration records, driver's license numbers and state ID's become random numbers.
Every year, a new number is assigned to correspond to your name. When your number's up, it's up. Then, you head to the jury assembly room. It's purgatory, where you hurry up and wait to be called for a trial. You're locked in for two weeks and can serve on more than one jury per term.
Typically, though, you'll only serve on one jury if you're called at all. Most cases are wrapped up in three days.
"You don't think about how important jury service is until you're called to serve," said Judge Maryann Moreno. She's seen her share of juries over the years; in fact, I served on a jury in her courtroom a few years ago.
Despite stories of people giving bizarre excuses to get out of jury service, Judge Moreno said most people take it seriously once they get into the courtroom.
"People have this thought that it's going to be drudgery, then they realize they're going to make some really important decisions," said Judge Moreno. "I think they feel pretty good."
The court staff doesn't want to torture you; they want you to be free and clear to make fair decisions. If you absolutely don't have someone to watch your kids, you'll likely be excused. Have a trip planned? They'll work with you to reschedule. And, if your boss won't pay you for missing work, you can be reimbursed.
With more than 7,000 people called for jury service every year in Spokane County, chances are you'll sit in a jury box at some point.
Or, if you're me, probably more than once.
