It's that time of year when travel peaks for the holidays. For those of you traveling alone in the USA, here is an especially important reminder:
Not all unmarked cars with flashing lights are really police.
It is not safe to pull over in a deserted area/highway. There are some people who will pose as police to snatch you, rob you, or do worse. You are allowed to pull off at an exit and find a public area--gas station, restaurant, etc--to pull over, where you will be safer if the officer is a fake. The police are required to respect your right for safety, especially for women who are alone when being pursued by an unmarked car. Flash your headlights/taillights or emergency flashers to acknowledge the officer (so that they don't think you're trying to run); use some method of communication to let the officer know that you do intend to pull over, just in a safe place.
You are also permitted to dial 911 to get confirmation as to the validity of the officer, or even to have the dispatcher tell the officer of your intentions to pull over in a safe place. Some states also have a #77 or *77 state trooper line, sometimes intended for reporting other drivers' erratic or unsafe behavior, but this is NOT universal (in spite of some rumors). 911 is a much better choice and guarantees your call will be recorded. For other countries, dial whatever number is used as the standard for emergency police.
Be aware, of course, of laws against driving while using a handheld cell phone. No need to complicate matters!
If you have to pull over on the side of a road where you don't feel safe, keep the doors locked and only crack the window enough to be able to hear the officer through. If the officer insists on otherwise, you can explain your discomfort/concern for safety, and ask to travel to a safer location to continue, or dial 911 for the confirmation and ask for backup officers if necessary for proof.
If the car trying to pull you over isn't legitimate, these things may save your life.
Be smart, stay safe, drive carefully, and have a good holiday!

For the past few weeks, Kevin Jackson has been arriving at Vandalia Community High School at 6 a.m. He lets himself in and heads for his office, a 10-foot-by-10-foot room not far from the gymnasium.
In one corner of his office, he has his desk with a computer; in the other corner, a two-drawer file cabinet. Behind his desk on a bulletin board are the schedules for the five fall sports in which VCHS participates.
The schedules loom over his shoulder as he works the phones, confirming contests with other athletic directors and confirming officials for the events, months and even years down the road.
Jackson has only been on the job as the athletic director for few weeks, but he's already settled in to his new duties.
"Everything has been fine," Jackson said. "Coach (Mike) Butler (former high school athletic director) and Coach (Geri) Reuss (former junior high athletic director) did a good job. They had everything done, organized and right. It's just a matter of me getting acclimated and getting an understanding of where we're sending teams and when, getting with officials and making sure their dates match up with the dates I have."
This isn't Jackson's first rodeo. He was the athletic director at St. Elmo High School for a number of years before coming to Vandalia.
"It's just more–more sports, more budget issues, bigger budget issues," he said. "It's just more sports; not all are the same, but it's still working with more coaches and working with more athletes. It's just organization and just more to it."
One big issue has been the budget. The athletic budget was cut by a third this year.
Jackson knows the big cut in his budget is no different than any other school district in the state or even the country. He's positive about the situation, knowing that uniforms may have to last an extra season or that a team may have to go without something it wants.
Even with the major budget cuts, the athletic department has a backer that many other programs have, the sports boosters.
"The booster club has been tremendous for a lot of years," Jackson said. "They provide our athletes with a ton, junior high and high school."
In last month's meeting alone, the booster club approved more that $5,500 worth of athletic equipment, and that's on top of more than $2,000 worth in the each of the two prior meetings.
Jackson has also been working on finding a new high school golf coach. The district recently hired Brandon Taylor.
"Taylor's excited, energetic, enthusiastic. He likes to play golf and loves the game," Jackson said of the newest addition to the VCHS coaching staff.
He has also been working on this year's inductees to the Vandalia Athletics Hall of Fame. Following nominations, the candidates were voted on and will be announced at homecoming on Sept. 24.
Compliance is a major concern at the college level and at some high schools, but it's not so much for Vandalia, simply because Vandalia goes by the book.
"We're not cheating. I don't see it as a big deal. No one has ever said a word to me about what we do," Jackson said.
When Jackson was named as the athletic director-in-waiting earlier this year, the school district also decided to bring the junior high under his responsibility. Prior to this year, junior high and high school athletics operated separately, but not anymore. This adds about 10 more teams to his workload throughout the year.
"I'm going to have to make a solid effort to get over to the junior high," Jackson said. "There's going to need to be an effort on both sides, by me and them, to communicate well. I don't foresee any issues, but it's different now without an AD in the junior high all the time."
When Jackson was named the athletic director, it wasn't known how much of his day would be spent as a driver's education instructor and how much would be spent as an AD. And it still hasn't been determined. If he had to guess, it'd be somewhere around 50-50 or 60-40, but it looks as if it will be more of a fluid balance–driving when students need to drive, and organizing Vandalia's athletics the rest of the time.
With the baseball and softball fields being upgraded into quality fields, the last hurdle for Vandalia is bringing an all-weather track to the district.
"We've been pursuing funds for an all-weather track for several years" Jackson said. "We want to keep pushing in that direction. An all-weather track is going to benefit not only our athletes, but the community as well."
Other than the track, Jackson doesn't have many big plans that he wants to see happen.
"I just want all of our athletes and coaches to keep pushing to be as good as they can," he said.

In 2009, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will receive a 5.8% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). This means that nearly 55 million Americans will see an increase in their monthly benefits, the largest increase since 1982.
Just two months ago the Congress passed the Financial Stabilization Package which was designed to stabilize the growing financial crisis currently facing our country. This legislation, which I voted against, created the Troubled Asset Relief Program, known as TARP, and gave the U.S. Treasury Department broad authority to distribute $700 billion of the taxpayers' hard earned money with hardly any oversight and no accountability for the irresponsible behavior of the financial institutions that led to this very situation.
A great place
to shop
Bedford is a great place to shop, dine, explore and discover! If you have not had a chance to experience the holiday events in Centertown Bedford, you better hurry !
Mitchell Loyd "Big Country" Simmons, 17, of Chamblissburg, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, Dec. 1, 2008.
He was a senior at Staunton River High School, was on the baseball team and a member of the F.F.A. He was a member of the Grace Memorial Baptist Church.
Frank Chervan, a furniture maker, recently announced it would shut down the majority of its Bedford operations. It seems that 90 jobs are in jeopardy of going away.
There will be no federal bailout. Frank Chervan is not "too big to allow to fail."
There will be no testimony (translated: begging for money) in front of Congress, such as we've seen lately, most recently with the Big Three automakers.
I love this time of year because I get to watch Christmas movies and shows — Elf, the Santa Claus trilogy, Snow, It's a Wonderful Life, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and A Charlie Brown Christmas, to name a few. The day after Thanksgiving my kids were begging us to watch Elf and it seems like every other day my daughter is coming into the living room proclaiming that one of The Santa Claus movies is on television.
It's common, after an election, for those of us who voted for the losing candidate to gripe. That's what we saw last month in the Bulletin's Letters section. I've also done it in this column space. That's the American way. We want to express our opinion that the majority made a mistake.
It's also the American way for us to respect the result of elections. Once we've had our say, we accept the fact that our candidate lost.
As President-elect Barack Obama (what a wonderful phrase!) prepares for his January inauguration, reaction to the election results from the other side has ranged from silence to hysteria.
Even in the Internet age, letters to the editor of a newspaper are always an interesting barometer of what "the public" is thinking, at least some of the public.
As you spend time with your family and friends this holiday season, it is important to remember the thousands of servicemembers in our nation's military who are serving the United States abroad, at home, or are recovering in military and veterans hospitals. One way to thank and honor our military personnel is to participate in an outreach program, like the Holiday Mail for Heroes program, which the American Red Cross sponsors each year.
Once again the world witnessed devastating images of people fleeing from fire, smoke and debris, grief-stricken individuals searching for their loved ones and emergency personnel becoming the first line of defense. The recent terror attacks in Mumbai, India, which killed more than 170 people, including six Americans, and left hundreds more injured, brought back the horrors of September 11, 2001, when Americans found themselves victims of global terrorism.
Ask important questions now
The Bedford County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors are mandated to have zoning ordinances. Now is the time land owners must ask important questions of County staff, Commission members and Supervisors as to exactly how their land will be affected by the newly proposed ordinance.
Nationally-syndicated columnist Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post Writers Group wrote a column last week suggesting that until Barack Obama goes from President-elect to President this country and its economy has little hope. An underlying message of the column, and one that has been echoed by others, is that Bush should just step aside and let Obama take over now.
It's do or die time for me to get in shape.
In just 11 weeks I should be headed for the hills of the Philippines to be part of a medical missions team from my church. While I'm excited about the trip, I also realize I have a lot to do to get ready.

On Nov. 26, the new rate tables for those receiving pension or compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs were released.
The new rates, based on the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) measure signed by the President on Sept. 25, implemented the 5.8 percent cost of living increase and are effective Dec. 31, 2008. The new rates will increase by 5.8 percent the benefits paid by VA for those receiving; Improved Pension, Service Connected Disability Compensation, Dependency Indemnity Compensation, or pension or compensation from other VA programs.
Turned wreaths
Why are the beautiful Christmas wreaths in Bedford City turned around so you can only see then when you turn a corner or shop in the city?
When the wreaths before were put up – they were the same way — people wrote in about how they were done. The City said, " They couldn't be turned around." Three years later, they were turned around. They looked beautiful.
Two million dollars.
That's how much extra money the Bedford County School Board has to work with this year, money saved from the Jefferson Forest and Staunton River High School construction projects. Getting those two projects completed ahead of schedule is a bonus; having them come in under budget is truly something to be thankful for — especially in these tight financial times.
Now the question becomes: What to do with that money?
While there are many things we don't know about President-elect Barack Obama, there is one thing I know, and one thing I'm pretty sure of.
"The conservative era is over."
As much pleasure as it gives me to see, read, and hear those words, I can't claim them for myself.
They came from none other than Pat Buchanan, the former Nixon aide who spoke them on television on the night of the election.
He is, of course, right. Conservatism, and its longtime home, the Republican Party, is out of power at all the top levels of our national government, and seems likely to be so for quite some time.
In this month of November, with Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving, it seems appropriate to remember, pay tribute, and extend thanks to all from Bedford County who have ever served in our country's armed forces.
Throughout Bedford County's history, its citizens have been patriotic in peacetime and in war. Bedford County men have fought and died in nearly every major war of America.

Antioch Crossing gains Wal-Mart grocery store
It's official.
Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market will take a 41,180-square-foot freestanding building in the Northland's new Antioch Crossing for a fall opening.
Although much smaller than the supercenters, the neighborhood markets offer a variety of the company's most popular staples, including fresh produce, meats and dairy items, frozen foods, dry goods, a pharmacy, deli foods, bakery items, canned and packaged goods, condiments and spices, pet supplies and household supplies — at Wal-Mart's discounted prices.
Wal-Mart designed the neighborhood stores for "convenient and efficient shopping trips." Customers also can order Wal-Mart items like wide screen TVs online and have them shipped to the neighborhood stores. The Antioch Crossing store will have about 95 employees.
Antioch Crossing will be a 512,000-square-foot center on 41-acres at the crossroads of Antioch Road, Vivion Road and Chouteau Trafficway.
Antioch Center Mall formerly operated on the site. It was Kansas City's first shopping center north of the Missouri River when it opened in 1956.
The re-developer, Antioch Redevelopment Partners LLC, purchased the mall in 2010 and started tearing it down in early 2012. However, longtime tenants Sears, Burlington Coat Factory, Goodyear Tire, and Bank of America have continued to operate there and will remain tenants of the new Antioch Crossing.
An existing building, between Burlington Coat Factory and Sears, is being renovated for smaller tenants from 5,000-to-10,000 square feet each. Vintage Stock, a Joplin, Mo.-based entertainment superstore chain selling new and used video games, movies, books, music, toys, comic books and sports cards, plans a late fall opening in one of the spaces.
The redevelopers also will break ground on two new multi-tenant buildings in late summer. Tenants will include Firehouse Subs, GNC, Modern Nails & Spa, and an optical shop.
The $67 million Antioch Crossing also will have freestanding restaurants, office tenants, 96-units of market-rate senior housing, and walking and bike trails. More than 100,000 people with an average household income of $55,000 live within a 5-mile radius of the center.
New owners for Charlie Hooper's in Brookside
When Chris Lewellen purchased his first home back in 1993, he had a top request — it had to be within walking distance of Brookside mainstay Charlie Hooper's Bar & Grille.
Now Lewellen and his brother Andy are purchasing Charlie Hooper's, at 12 W. 63rd St., in a deal that is expected to close in August. The brothers don't plan to make many changes, except to make the outdoor patio more open and inviting, and tweak something here or there.
"Andy and I love the Waldo-Brookside neighborhood and we love Charlie Hooper's. We think there is a lot of potential here," said Chris Lewellen. "It has great employees, a great customer base. It doesn't need a lot, just freshen it up a bit."
Charlie Hooper's features more than 30 draft beers and more than 150 bottled beers. Its menu includes housemade chicken pot pies, hand-breaded chicken fried steaks, soups, sandwiches, burgers, wraps, tacos, and entree salads, as well as daily specials. The Lewellens may add more items after getting feedback from the employees and customers.
The brothers opened Lew's Grill & Bar a decade ago and then The Well Bar Grill & Rooftop five years ago as part of a "slow, conservative" growth strategy. They have a loyalty card for customers of the two Waldo operations that will be extended to Charlie Hooper's customers.
Bob Regan founded Charlie Hooper's in 1980.
"We opened with a big rugby following back before they were called 'sports bars,' I think," Regan said. "We never tried gimmicks. Families were always welcome and it was a popular late -night spot."
Regan relocated to Vermont nine years ago. He makes several trips back a year and is in regular contact with general manager Kelly Buckert and his long-term employees. But Regan said it was time to sell to a local owner/operator.
"It's a good place but I think it's ready for the next step and I think the Lewellens will bring Waldo and Brookside a little closer," Regan said.
After the sale is completed, Regan said he will still come back to visit family and friends, but no longer for business trips.
"It's really sad. I had it for a long time," he said. "But I told them I am looking forward to the day I can sit down at the bar and pay for my drink."

Remember when Yahoo's stock price broke $9 and everyone was howling that it was going straight to $6? We're not hearing much of that chatter these days.
Yesterday, Carol Bartz-fueled YHOO crawled its way back above $14. True, this is a far cry from the $33 Microsoft offer that a delusional Jerry Yang sniffed at last summer, but it's another step in the right direction.
Carol's greatest contribution to the company so far, one that it desperately needed, is a willingness to make decisions. That the decisions Carol has made appear to be smart is an added benefit. (Among them: doing away with Yahoo's Peanut Butter "matrix" management structure, realizing that Yahoo holds all the cards in the Microsoft search negotiations and waiting for Steve Ballmer to beg, firing up the troops).
Can Yahoo continue its renaissance? In our opinion, yes. Carol's next steps are to refocus the company on its core advertising business (which will likely involve more cost cuts) and then reinvigorate the sales effort. The first of these should happen in Q2. The second will likely take the better part of the year.
Disclosure: Henry Blodget has owned Yahoo stock since 1998. He also works there (TechTicker). If you're concerned that these blatant conflicts will just cause him to blow smoke up management's posteriors, go back and read some of his posts from last summer, when Jerry was blowing the Microsoft deal.

Early one morning a group of young women set out to walk the path that a dedicated man walked over a hundred years ago.
At 3:20 a.m. on a dark Saturday morning, 70 young women and our leaders from the Cedar Hills Sixth Ward, Cedar Hills Utah West Stake, gathered at a meetinghouse in order to walk 22 miles from the Draper Utah Temple to the Salt Lake Temple.
We were doing this in honor of John Rowe Moyle, who is a prime example of a person dedicated to the temple. He was a stonecutter for the Salt Lake Temple and was a man who represented hard work, dedication, and pure love for his Savior. We tried to exemplify him.
After gathering in the early morning, we climbed into cars and drove to the Draper Utah Temple. At 4:30 in the morning we began our walk.
In addition to the many leaders and young women walking, John Rowe Moyle's great-grandson James Moyle walked with us. He not only added to the spirit that was there but also made our journey more intimate as we honored his ancestor.
While walking, we had the privilege of watching the sunrise and seeing a brand new day unfold right before our eyes.
Every couple of miles we had an aid station. What a blessing those stations were. Each aid station was full of members from our ward who supported and lifted us up. There was also music, food, and smiles, which definitely lifted our spirits.
Everyone was feeling pretty good as we continued on our journey to the temple. At about mile 19, things started to get difficult. People were tired, and bodies were aching, yet we still had another couple of miles to go.
The most beautiful aspect about this challenge was the support and love we all had for one another. We supported one another throughout the entire walk, but it was near the end when our love was evident. Girls took each other's arms, encouraging and lifting each other.
At mile 21, we stopped for lunch. We were within one mile of our final destination—the temple. As we ate lunch and massaged our swollen feet, we listened while Sister Elaine S. Dalton, the general Young Women president, spoke to us. Not only was she expressing her love for us, but she was also encouraging us. She gave us support and the boost we needed to finish.
Following our lunch, we put our shoes back on and continued on our trek. A couple of minutes in, we had an amazing surprise when the young men came to encourage and cheer us on for the last mile. Cheers were yelled in the air as they ran up to meet us. With the young men by our side, we finished the last mile.
Exhaustion and pain had taken hold of everyone, but as we rounded that last corner to the temple, none of that mattered. Shouts of pure joy rang out on Temple Square. There, in all its majestic beauty, stood the temple of the Lord. To add to the spirit, our families were standing at the gates to the temple to welcome us. Everyone ran to their families as we completed the final steps of our long journey.
We had walked 22 miles from the Draper Utah Temple to the Salt Lake Temple, and we had done it together.
Following those reunions, all of the 70 walkers gathered together on the steps of the Salt Lake Temple, directly under the "Holiness to the Lord" inscription that John Rowe Moyle had carved 100 years ago. There we held hands, embraced one another, and cried tears of joy. We had done it. We had walked 22 miles from the Draper Utah Temple to the Salt Lake Temple, and we had done it together.
John Rowe Moyle
"John Rowe Moyle … was a convert to the Church who left his home in England and traveled to the Salt Lake Valley as part of a handcart company. He built a home for his family in a small town a valley away from Salt Lake City. John was an accomplished stonecutter and, because of this skill, was asked to work on the Salt Lake Temple.
"Every Monday John left home at two o'clock in the morning and walked six hours in order to be at his post on time. On Friday he would leave his work at five o'clock in the evening and walk almost until midnight before arriving home. He did this year after year.
"One day, while he was doing his chores at home, a cow kicked him in the leg, causing a compound fracture. With limited medical resources, the only option was to amputate the broken leg. So John's family and friends strapped him onto a door and, with a bucksaw, cut off his leg a few inches from the knee.
"In spite of the crude surgery, the leg started to heal. Once John could sit up in bed, he began carving a wooden leg with an ingenious joint that served as an ankle to an artificial foot. Walking on this device was extremely painful, but John did not give up, building up his endurance until he could make the 22-mile (35-km) journey to the Salt Lake Temple each week, where he continued his work.
"His hands carved the words 'Holiness to the Lord' that stand today as a golden marker to all who visit the Salt Lake Temple.
"John did not do this for the praise of man. Neither did he shirk his duty, even though he had every reason to do so. He knew what the Lord expected him to do.
"Years later, John's grandson Henry D. Moyle was called as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve and, eventually, served in the First Presidency of the Church. President Moyle's service in these callings was honorable, but his grandfather John's service, though somewhat less public, is just as pleasing to the Lord. John's character, his legacy of sacrifice, serves as a banner of faithfulness" (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Lift Where You Stand," Liahona or Ensign, Nov. 2008, 55–56).

Special Operations Forces (SOF) such as Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Air Force Para-Rescue, and Marine Recon, as well as law enforcement tactical units (SWAT), face unique challenges that manifest themselves both physically and mentally.
The extremes of training and combat can dramatically reduce performance: Immune suppression; changes in mental acuity/increases in reaction time; reductions in androgen production (testosterone); increased susceptibility to cold; increased oxidative stress; and other factors will affect the performance of these soldiers directly or indirectly. These highly-specialized soldiers are always looking for an edge to avoid many of the aforementioned problems, and any edge can mean the difference between life and death, or the ability to perform at their peak.
Many soldiers in special operations are turning to the use of nutritional supplements in hopes that it will combat some of the problems listed above. For example, the Naval Health Research Center examined the use of nutritional supplements by SEALs and found approximately 78% of the Naval Special Warfare community poled currently use a variety of nutritional supplements ( Use of supplements by Navy SEALs Med.Sci.in Sports.Excercise. Vol.30, Number 5 (S) 1998). The study also found that the source of information SEALs relied on in choosing which supplements to use came from their fellow operators and bodybuilding magazines. Neither of these sources would be considered as accurate and unbiased sources of information.
A dietary supplement survey given to 2,215 men entering U.S. Army Special Forces and Ranger training schools (Arsenault J, Kennedy J..Dietary supplement use in U.S. Army Special Operations candidates. Mil Med. 1999.Jul;164(7):495-501) found Eighty-five percent of the men reported past or present use of a supplement, 64% reported current use, and 35% reported daily use of nutritional supplements for a variety of reasons. It is reasonable to assume similar figures exist for other branches of the US military in regards to its special operations units.
An ever-growing body of research is demonstrating that certain nutritional supplements have the potential to greatly assist performance and overall health of SOF soldiers. However, these supplements must be specific to the populations in question (in this case SOF) and must be validated for efficacy and long term safety. The vast majority of people, including most medical professionals and nutritionists, have only a rudimentary understanding of nutritional supplements, and little knowledge regarding what SOF operators face in training or combat. Knowledge of both is required for future development to take place. Though some within the military community that look for various nutritional-based methods of improving SOF soldiers performance feel there is a lack of data to support the use of nutritional supplements, the data that does exist is compelling and more extensive then many may realize.
With additional research, supplements for SOF soldiers could be highly targeted to a specific unit, branch, or perhaps even mission specific. For example, solders that will be in the field at high altitudes might be given a highly specialized supplement for that environment, while another mission scenario might require a different formula. Trainees in BUD/S for example might be given a supplement to help with joint pain (a common complaint) and so on. There is work yet to be done, yet much effort and knowledge already could and should be acted on. What follows is just a small example of the research that has been carried out in looking at the effects of various supplements that concern SOF soldiers. A plethora of data suggests various inexpensive and safe supplements can reduce the hearing loss due to concussive noises, reduce oxidative stress, reduce immune suppression, improve mental acuity and endurance, as well as other desirable outcomes.
Hearing and Lung protection against High-energy impulse noise (BLAST)
Due to the regular exposure of high-energy impulse noise (BLAST) by soldiers, permanent hearing loss is a serious problem that can affect soldiers operational effectiveness as well as their long-term health and combat readiness. Several studies find the mineral Magnesium quite effective for reducing hearing losses due to BLAST. Animal experiments find there is a correlation between serum magnesium level and noise-induced permanent hearing threshold shifts (NIPTS), so researchers looked to see if this mineral would act as a direct prophylactic against hearing loss in humans. Three hundred healthy, normal-hearing recruits who underwent two months of basic military training, including repeated exposures to high levels of impulse noises (gun fire, explosives, etc.) were tested. During this placebo-controlled, double-blind study (Attias J. et al. Oral magnesium intake reduces permanent hearing loss induced by noise exposure. Am J Otolaryngol. 1994 Jan-Feb;15(1):26-32), subjects received either 167 magnesium aspartate or placebo daily. The results showed permanent hearing damage was significantly reduced with the magnesium group vs. placebo. In fact, the results were so impressive the researchers concluded This study may introduce a significant natural agent for the reduction of hearing damages in noise-exposed population. Additional placebo-controlled double blind studies have found the same effects of magnesiums protective effects on hearing loss from high impulse noise induced damage (Joachims Z, et al. Oral magnesium supplementation as prophylaxis for noise-induced hearing loss: results of a double blind field study.Schriftenr Ver Wasser Boden Lufthyg. 1993;88:503-16.).
Another area of the body particularly sensitive to damage from BLAST is the lungs. In this instance, it is an abrupt rise in atmospheric pressure above ambient lasting for a very short period via concussive forces from detonations or other causes. Not surprisingly, exposure to high-level BLAST can be lethal to soldiers. Low-level BLAST encountered by military personnel during training and combat can also cause significant injury to sensitive organs and other areas of the body. Research carried out at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research has shown in several animal models that exposure to low-level BLAST results in pathological changes to the animals lungs. Their conclusion was that exposure to BLAST can lead to antioxidant depletion and oxidative damage with an increased risk of long term lung problems such as respiratory insufficiency and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Their report (Elsayed NM, Gorbunov NV..Interplay between high energy impulse noise (blast) and antioxidants in the lung. Toxicology. 2003 Jul 15;189(1-2):63-74) suggests a potential benefit from antioxidant supplementation before soldiers are exposure to BLAST. Considering how inexpensive and safe magnesium and various antioxidants (i.e. vitamin C, vitamin E, etc.) are compared to the risk to hearing and lungs from BLAST, it behooves SOF soldiers to consider the use of the above and for medical-military institutions to consider recommending these compounds.
Reducing injuries and soreness from training and high operational tempos.
The extremely high stress levels placed on the human body in training or combat often leads to non-combat-related injuries. Knee pain, back pain, and other issues are common and often result in a recruit having to drop out of selection or can reduce the combat effectiveness of veteran soldiers in the field. Thus, anything that can reduce the occurrence of injuries or treat them can potentially assist trainees in surviving the extremes of the selection process of SOF units or increase the operational effectiveness and longevity of active operators in the field. One cause of chronic pain to SOF soldiers is degenerative joint disease, which can be greatly exacerbated by the extremes of training. The Medical Department of Naval Special Warfare Command conducted a study with thirty-four males from the U.S. Navy diving and SpecWar community with chronic pain of the knee or lower back who had been diagnosed with degenerative joint disease (DJD).
This was a 16-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial used a combination of glucosamine HCl (1,500 mg/day), chondroitin sulfate (1,200 mg/day), and manganese ascorbate (228 mg/day) given to half the men and compared to a placebo. The study found this combination of supplements was effective for treating their knee pain but did not appear to improve lower back pain. No side effects were reported. SOF soldiers and trainees suffering from chronic knee pain may want to consider employing this therapy (Leffler CT et al. Glucosamine, chondroitin, and manganese ascorbate for degenerative joint disease of the knee or low back: a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled pilot study. Mil Med. 1999 Feb; 164(2):85-91).
Aches and pains, bumps and bruises, and stress injuries of all kinds are common during all facets of training. The high training and operational tempo can also lead to a reduction in overall health and immunity, making the prospective SOF operator more susceptible to infections and other ailments. One study looked at the use of a post- exercise protein drink with Marine recruits going through basic training. Healthy male US Marine recruits from six platoons were randomly assigned to three treatments within each platoon.
Nutrients supplemented immediately post-exercise during the 54-day basic training were either placebo , control, or the protein supplement. The results were telling and impressive. Compared with placebo and control groups, the protein-supplemented group had an average of 33% fewer total medical visits, 28% fewer visits due to bacterial/viral infections, 37% fewer visits due to muscle/joint problems, and an astounding 83% fewer visits due to heat exhaustion. Furthermore, the study found muscle soreness immediately post-exercise was reduced by protein supplementation versus placebo and control groups. The researchers concluded Postexercise protein supplementation may not only enhance muscle protein deposition but it also has significant potential to positively impact health, muscle soreness, and tissue hydration during prolonged intense exercise training, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for the prevention of health problems in severely stressed exercising populations. This study done on marine recruits (Flakoll P. et al. Post exercise protein supplementation improves health and muscle soreness during basic military training in Marine recruits. J Appl Physiol. 2004 Mar;96(3):951-6. Epub 2003 Dec 2.) shows an inexpensive and safe protein supplement used post-exercise could have profound effects on the drop out rate of recruits and greatly reduce the number of medical visits, infections, and pain.
A Dedicated Formula for SOF
Recently, a product called Full Force Focus Intensity Formula was developed specifically to fit the needs of SOF soldiers, as well as law enforcement tactical units. The formula has been field-tested by members of various Special Operations Forces at home and abroad. It contains many of the ingredients mentioned in the previous sections (antioxidants, magnesium, etc) as well as additional nutrients for improving endurance, mental focus, and recuperation. Feedback from SOF operators has been very positive, with no adverse side effects reported. Full Force was highlighted in a recent addition of Special Operations Technology magazine (SOTECH Volume: 3 Issue: 7 Oct 02, 2005) which quotes several former and current SOF operators who use and recommend Full Force. For example, a Special Forces sergeant recently back from Afghanistan stated in SOTECH: Full Force truly enhanced our ability to perform at our very best. The experience was positive, unlike other products where there is a crash at the wrong time-not that there is any right time in our business.
The reader should be aware, as impressive as the above may seem, its only the tip of the proverbial iceberg regarding the many nutrients that could improve the operational effectiveness and longevity of special operations soldiers. For example, some simple antioxidants such as Vitamin E, C, selenium, zinc, and various plant-based phyto nutrients, given in high enough doses have been found to be effective radioprotectants (e.g. they protect from radiation).
There are just too many studies and nutrients to list in this article that could be of great use to SOF operators and those in training to become one. Regardless, the nutritional and supplement modalities outlined above may increase the operational life span of the special operations soldier and should be considered a front-line approach.

With spring sports, inevitably there's spring weather. Unpredictable to say the least.
This week, while assigned to photograph the Geneva vs. Kaneland girls varsity soccer game in Geneva, a streak of lightning flashed across the sky just as I parked my car. The teams quickly left the field after only one minute of playing and hunkered down in the two sheds available to wait out the 30 minute delay of game.
Since I had the time to kill, I decided to photograph the girls in the sheds. Both teams were giggling and goofing around. It was a carefree moment that quickly dissolved as the teams took to the field after the delay, and the players put on their game faces.

Washington, D.C. (December 3, 2012) — Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Senior Vice President Matthew Bennett issued the following statement today on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) report:
"Medical innovation is the bedrock of the biopharmaceutical industry, yet the challenging regulatory and legislative environment continues to threaten the lifeblood of the most R&D-intensive sectors in the United States. As authors of the report rightly point out, without adequate support for research, 'the U.S. is at risk of losing its leadership in invention and discovery—the driving force behind the new industries and jobs that have propelled the U.S. economy over the past century.'
"At a time when our nation faces great fiscal challenges, it is critical for policymakers to support science-driven and job-creating industries such as the biopharmaceutical industry. To that end, a consistent policy framework that focuses on medical innovation at the national level is desperately needed. Such a framework should provide regulatory certainty, ensure patient choice and access to medicines, and incentivize future research and development– and we agree with the authors that making permanent the R&D tax credit is a step in the right direction.
"Over the last decade, the biopharmaceutical industry, oftentimes partnering with academia and federal research institutions, has brought more than 300 new medicines to patients and PhRMA companies alone have invested $500 billion in research and development of new therapies. These medical advancements have helped patients fight deadly and costly diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes and heart disease and have provided tremendous and immeasurable value to millions of patients and families around the world.
"The biopharmaceutical industry also supports millions of jobs in the U.S. and contributes significantly to local, state and national economies. In fact, a recent report found that the overall impact of the biopharmaceutical sector on the economy is $917 billion annually. But as leaders in other countries around the world make more of a concerted effort to attract our industry through pro-innovation policies and programs, the United States' standing as a beacon of innovation and hope is at stake.
"PhRMA also fully supports efforts to bolster students' interest in STEM education. Research-intensive, science-driven sectors such as ours play an important role in helping to support students pursuing careers in the STEM fields. All of our members, in one way or another, support STEM education because they realize that too much is at stake if our nation loses its medical innovation edge.
"This report couldn't have come at a better time andwe look forward to having discussions with members of the new Congress and the Administration on steps we can take to help ensure the U.S. remains the world leader in medical innovation."
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. PhRMA companies are leading the way in the search for new cures. PhRMA members alone invested an estimated $49.5 billion in 2011 in discovering and developing new medicines.

I am new to using LaTeX, I have not figured out how to properly install a package yet. I believe this is my issue, if someone could help guide me through the proper way of doing so I would appreciate it. Even though I grew up with computers, I act like someone one from the 1940's when using them. I know some basic techniques, but a lot of the stuff advanced users might consider trivial is non-trivial to me.
Set up:
I run a MacBook Pro 2012 with Snow Leopard OS.
I installed LaTeX using macports on my machine from the terminal. I also downloaded Texmaker editor and use that to write my documents.
I looked on this website and it says you should install packages in
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex. Which I am guessing the
I checked my finder and this is all I found;
I also found these:
I can't find the
vennpackage folder anywhere, but Tex Live Utility says its installed.
Steps I have performed:
I have installed
texlive-math-extrapackage from macports, this is where I originally found the package. It did not work, so I tried installing TeX Live full, which I think a friend of mine did for me a while back.
I figure the files will overwrite themselves and all will be good, or at least I hoped. Nothing happened, all my previous documents run fine.
I became a little braver and downloaded
venndiagram.styand followed the instructions given to me. I actually got the file to work but only on my desktop. So it only works when I save files on my desktop, not with my TeXmaker editor which saves the files somewhere else.
So now I am I hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

It has been said there is but one constant, and that is change. Some live for it, while others fight it tooth and nail. Change can be at once exciting and frightening. Amazing how often those two words interconnect, isn't it?When that change involves a new supervisor, don't fret. If you stay on the same job long enough, eventually you will experience this transition. Here are a few simple suggestions for those who embrace it and those not as likely to.
1. Be welcoming. Whether they are brand new to the company or were recently promoted from your own peer group, treat them as you would hope to be treated. Remember, this is a change for them as well, so put yourself in their shoes and help things get off on the right foot.
2. Be open-minded. They may do things a little different from what you're used to, but someone decided they were what your department needed. Don't be too quick to judge or criticise their managerial style. Given a chance they may delight you with the changes they make.
3. Don't draw comparisons. Your new manager is not your old manager. Drawing unfair or unflattering comparisons between the two does little to smooth the transition. It does, however, prove a certain immaturity that most likely won't be tolerated for long.
4. Lend a hand. Your office systems may be alien to them. Be willing to pitch in when needed. Being the "go-to" person for your new boss isn't a bad thing.
5. Give them space. It may take a day or two for them to get comfortable with their new environment. Be available to answer questions, but keep your distance. The last thing any new manager needs is someone breathing down their necks asking a million personal questions or basically just being a pest. Don't be 'that' guy or girl.
6. Don't take advantage. This person is not your substitute teacher from high school. They are a highly trained professional charged with running your department. You might get away with two-hour lunches and coming in late for a day or two, but it will catch up to you and the fallout may be much worse than a trip to the principal's office.
7. Save the flattery. Constantly fawning over your new boss will get you plenty of attention. However, most of it will be negative. Gain favour by being a solid team member, not by trying to win a popularity contest.
8. Be like the father of our country. Lying about your duties and skills will eventually be brought to light. Your new manager most likely has been prepped with information about their department so attempting to give yourself a lighter work schedule or more responsibilities in an attempt to impress them will backfire worse than a worn-out musket.
9. Don't quit. A managerial change may cause you a certain amount of angst, but try to keep your emotions in check. Even a good change can seem painful at first. Give it time before making a decision you can't reverse.
10. Don't be resentful. If you feel you were qualified for this position and were passed over, showing your resentment will be the fastest way to be shown the door. The choice has been made, and if you value your current position, respect that decision. Your bad attitude won't change anything except what people think of YOU.
Coming to grips with a change that affects your work environment can be one of the most trying times of your adult life. How you deal with it is up to you.

If you can make it there…10 things to see and do with kids in NYC (and Brooklyn) at Scary Mommy!
Why not head over to Scary Mommy and check out The Scary Mommy Travel Guide for my recommendations for 1o Things to See and Do with Kids in NYC? I've included some classic sights, some sights more off the beaten path, and omitted the time when C had a screaming tantrum all the way to Rockefeller Center from my sister's apartment and then fell asleep when we got to the tree. Also omitted how one of my favorite ways to see New York is sans-kids, with wine, and the boys tucked up at my parents' house in Long Island.
UPDATE: I've also written 10 (More!) Things to Do with Kids in Brooklyn – because, you know, Manhattan is so limited.
We have had so many fun visits to New York with our Manhattan-raised cousins, and though we live deep in Red Sox Nation, I'm raising C and T to think of the city not as a tourist destination, but as another hometown. Because NYC gets all the better on repeat visits. We've been the the Met several times, and tested the patience of security guards in many a wing:
Also featured: the Intrepid, the food of the Lower East Side, and Central Park, which could be an entry unto itself. And in fair Brooklyn: the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Prospect Park, and what's Brooklyn without decent pizza? I couldn't resist mentioning my old joint near my apartment in Park Slope: Pizza Plus. Whether that nice lady with the bouffant still works there I leave to you to discover.
Thank you to Scary Mommy for including me. I really like this site, and founder Jill Smokler's refreshing nonjudgmental, honest, and very funny take on parenting. I wholeheartedly subscribe to the Scary Mommy Manifesto!
So, go to NYC with your kids! If they can behave there, they can behave anywhere!
(By the way, when I was researching this online, it reminded me of how many of our favorite NYC sites (like the Intrepid, and many areas of Brooklyn) are still recovering from Hurricane Sandy. So because I love New York, can I ask you to please join in and help the neighborhoods come back: at The Red Hook Initiative, Robin Hood, AmeriCares, or the American Red Cross. Thank you!)

WASHINGTON — The Minnesota Democrat who's out to get rid of the Pentagon's sponsorships for NASCAR teams says she won't back away from her efforts and, despite GOP resistance, will broaden her fight to repeal tax breaks for track owners, too.
Rep. Betty McCollum says her work could save American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. But Defense Department officials and lawmakers from NASCAR country say the sponsorships help military recruitment, and that the tax breaks could save jobs in the struggling economy.
In an interview Friday, McCollum said it doesn't make sense to keep the benefits for NASCAR teams and track owners when other cuts are being made to community health care, programs for homeless veterans and Head Start.
"I started to look what is in this large defense budget to see what's not related to security that we could redirect to critical supplies or mission support," she said. "Or in the case of racetrack owners, what are some of the special tax perks that some of the special interests are getting?"
She plans to file legislation to prohibit Pentagon sponsorships of dragsters, Indy cars, stock cars and motorcycle racing, affecting just about every level of motorsports.
"We should take a critical eye and a critical look and say, 'Is this an appropriate role for the government?'" McCollum said.
McCollum filed an amendment this month to prohibit the Defense Department from spending money to sponsor NASCAR teams, saying it's a poor use of money given the other cuts the House was making. The amendment came as the House, led by Republicans, spent days wrestling with $60 billion in cuts to the current fiscal year's budget.
In the days before the vote, her office logged angry calls from across NASCAR country. "There were some people that were very upset," McCollum said.
She also received a threatening and racist fax, which received widespread media attention and is being investigated by the U.S. Capitol Police. But her chief of staff said the office also received a lot of calls from tea party supporters who backed McCollum's amendment.
Her amendment failed, 281-148.
Meanwhile, racetrack owners received tax breaks worth $45 million in 2010 and 2011, aimed at helping them make improvements to their facilities. A two-year extension of the program was included in the tax cuts compromise that President Barack Obama forged with Congress in December.
McCollum said she'll file legislation to repeal the tax benefit. "It's an earmark," she said.
North Carolina Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry disagrees. His Charlotte-area district is home to half the NASCAR teams. His Twitter avatar last week was the No. 3 logo in memory of legendary driver Dale Earnhardt, who was killed in a crash at the Daytona 500 in 2001.
McHenry spoke against McCollum's amendment a week ago on the House floor and said in an interview this week that her goal didn't seem to be about saving money. He pointed out that her two goals — killing the raceway tax breaks and banning driver sponsorships — are aimed at the same sport.
"She may believe that none of her constituents watch NASCAR, but they do," McHenry said this week. "This shows that she is on the warpath against NASCAR. This is more about her disdain for NASCAR than it really is about saving taxpayers' money."
McCollum insisted, though, that she has nothing against NASCAR.
"This isn't about NASCAR," McCollum said. "I've watched the Indy 500, the Daytona 500. I have friends who are avid fans. . . . This is about making tough choices."
