It was cool outside that night -- remnants of winter fading into a wet spring sunset. April 16, 2013, and it hadn't rained for a solid "several" days, yet. That was the next week, looking at the calendar.
Individually, and sometimes in groups of two or three, Higbee citizens and Association board members shook hands as they filed through the front doors of the Higbee Christian Church, calling out names, and then waiting in space for one or another to catch up. Hovering. That is the word.
There were a whopping 13 of them present — shuffling their feet, laughing, some speaking louder, and some doing so in voices so soft, it was quiet in the room, just for their piece.
The church is small, but open enough. There is only so far that one person can truly hover inside of its main chapel before he or she runs out of real estate and is pumped into the next room.
They all sit there. There are two lines of tables that fold, and then a square of the same tables butted firmly to one another — a makeshift board of representatives enclave. Behind the board tables, a half-way divider splits vision from a stocked kitchen area to the west. There is a bathroom area on the eastern side.
"Six-thirty-five," says Wyatt Wilson, "and we call the meeting to order."
Wilson is the vice president of the Higbee Cemetery Association — filling in for President Rebecca Hocker, who was unable to attend that night.
Minutes from the previous meeting were read and met with approval.
Financially, the Association was recently given a donation of over $11,000 from the Margaret Jones trust. They read a letter at that meeting from such, regarding the donation. They were told that it was expected that the Association would "do the right thing" with the moneys they were provided. Everyone present agreed that it was very nice of Jones to make such a donation, and they thanked her posthumously. The Higbee Cemetery Association is solely funded by such generosity, they said. The group has approximately $219,792.71 in its bank accounts and CDs, per information gathered during the continued financial portions of the meeting. Those funds are for the lone purpose of maintaining and keeping up the city's cemeteries.
There is just one problem:
The Higbee Cemetery Association does not exist.

Attending a Higbee Board of Aldermen meeting is a bit difficult for the regular working person. The meetings start at 5 p.m., or before. Individuals will periodically saunter through the main doorway into the council chambers 10, 15, or even 30 minutes into the meeting, itself. The board holds public comment times after the regular meeting portion is concluded. These consist of the mayor (Robert Ashworth) going around the room and asking each individual gathered if they have any questions for the aldermen (James Boggs, Max Borron, Debra Garner, and Elmore Wiggington), himself, or Utility Supervisor Ricky Switzer.
At their regular meeting this past Monday (May 13, which started at 4:55 p.m., per city minutes), concerns were brought before the board regarding the recent removal of all of the flowers from the Higbee Cemetery.
* * *
The Higbee Cemetery Association was started in 1973, by (amongst others) Doris Griffin, Thelma Summers, Ruth Ashworth, and Vera Mullier. The organization's purpose was to safeguard the donations made towards the upkeep of the city-owned cemetery, and to pay for expenses associated with said upkeep (the purchasing of equipment, paying of workers' wages, etc.).
And for the past 39 years, that was the way it went. Easy enough setup. Persons made donations to the Association. The Association compiled those funds. They distributed them to pay for the city's cemetery expenses as they came along.
That is, until May 2011. Around that time, the city invoked an audit that included the Higbee Cemetery Association under its blanket.
* * *
The flower removal took place either last Wednesday (May 8) or last Thursday (May 9), said Higbee citizen Sally Duffield.
"I went out there to get my basket," she said. "When I went out there, it was gone."
Duffield was one of the persons who brought up the missing flowers to the board at Monday's meeting. She said that it is her husband's family who is buried in the cemetery, and that they have been putting out flowers since at least the mid- to late-1970s. This is the first time such an occurrence has happened to them, she told the board.
Immediately after discovering her basket and the flowers in her mounted vases were missing, Duffield said she went home and called city hall. It took three calls before she was able to talk to the mayor.
"In the meantime," she said, "my husband went out and found our basket."
It was in the trash with the rest of the Higbee Cemetery flowers.
* * *
"We didn't ask for an audit," said Cemetery Association member Forrest Wright. "It was supposed to [cost] $6,000. It ended up being $22,000. [The city] would call the auditor and say 'look for this.' Then, [the city] didn't have the money to pay it, so they made the Cemetery Association pay for everything."
Wright was actually a member of the Higbee alderman board prior to the April 2010 election. He was ousted, along with then-Mayor Charla Bankhead and alderman Theresa Sinclair, for current aldermen Borron and Wiggington, and Mayor Ashworth, at that time.
"I was on the council for 12 years," Wright said. He retired from the Moberly Correctional Center after 31 years of service two years ago. Prior to that, he served an eight-year stint in the military.
A few months after the 2010 election, alderman Wyatt Wilson — the same one previously listed in this story — and alderman Susie Derboven both resigned from the board.
"It was always two-to-two [in the voting]," Wright said. "The mayor broke the tie."
Ashworth would always side with Borron and Wiggington, Wright claims. Wilson and Derboven felt their votes never counted. They left.
In all, a total of seven prior city officials now either serve on the Higbee Cemetery Association board of directors, or attend the Cemetery Association meetings, they noted on April 16.
The aforementioned audit took approximately one year to complete, Wright said. He noted that it was uncovered that the Cemetery Association had not been keeping its endowment funds in an FDIC-secure deposit. This fact is corroborated by a letter to the editor from the City of Higbee to the Fayette Advertiser on Jan. 16 of this year. The audit also concluded that the Cemetery Association needed to "properly maintain a detailed investment ledger regarding the purchase and redemption of certificates of deposit to include all necessary information on each certificate."
"Back in 1973, when they did the bylaws," Wright said, "it said in there that the money should be in an FDIC-assured account. Nobody had ever had it in an assured account. Since the audit, though, we're legal by our bylaws. As soon as we found out, we changed it."
The first audit ended in approximately March of 2012. Within a week of that, Wright said, the city had ordered another audit be done.
The city informed the Association that they were breaking their contract in a July 25 memorandum from Mayor Ashworth.
It is believed by the Association members that Ashworth and the city are currently seeking the group's donation funds, which they have no access to, as the donations were made to the Association, and not to the City of Higbee.
While Ashworth and the city stated in their aforementioned letter to the editor that neither "I, nor the city, is after the cemetery funds," on at least two separate occasions, Ashworth, himself, told the Association following their contract termination that they must return said funds to the City of Higbee: "All records, funds, equipment, and property used or created in the operation and maintenance of the Higbee City Cemetery must be turned over immediately to the City of Higbee," he wrote, in a letter to the association on Aug. 29, 2012. And on the very same day that the city informed the Association of their contract termination, Ashworth stated, "I trust you will agree that it will be far better for the Cemetery if the Association voluntarily returns the City's cemetery funds, as requested in this letter, and cooperates with the City to continue the Association's mission (which is also its legal obligation) to fund the care, maintenance, and improvement of the Cemetery, which will now be under the management of the City."
Association bylaws stated at that time that the mayor and city clerk had to hold a place on the Higbee Cemetery Association Board, in a liaison-esque role. On or around Aug. 1, 2012, the Cemetery Association held a special meeting, at which time they ousted Ashworth and Higbee City Clerk Kathy Demirefe from their board, and voted to change their bylaws to include seven board positions, none of which had to be filled by an acting city official.
In March of 2013, the City of Higbee filed suit against the Higbee Cemetery Association for this action, as well as for the Association's prior loss of its 501(c)(3) non-profit status, among other reasons. The Association assured the MMI that their re-application paperwork is currently in the pipeline, being transacted, and that the loss of such was due to a clerical error on the city's part.
"It's taken this much time to get this far along," Ashworth told the MMI on Friday.
"I talked to the city," said Wright back in mid-April, "and they said they wouldn't take a penny from us, because we don't exist."
"How do you sue someone who doesn't exist?" said Wilson
* * *
Per city minutes from May 13, 2013, Ashworth noted that "he guessed [the flower removal] was his fault for not giving specific directions to new cemetery workers." The city is currently working on upkeep for the cemetery, without the funding of the Higbee Cemetery Association, due to their breaking of the longstanding contract almost a year ago. Before the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, Ashworth said, the flowers were to be removed to make way for mowers, then replaced if they weren't in bad shape. Switzer said that the aforementioned workers "were told to remove [only] the faded flowers, but they got carried away and removed all of the flowers."
"You didn't need to remove the flowers from my vase to mow," Duffield said. She also noted that hanging baskets were not something that normally got in the way of lawn mowers.
When asked who, exactly, these new cemetery workers were during Monday's meeting, Ashworth would only say that they were part-time seasonal city employees. He was asked this twice, from two different persons, and gave the same answer.
On Friday morning, when confronted with the issue, Ashworth told the MMI that one of the new cemetery workers had never mowed a cemetery before, and that the other had only done so sparingly. Ashworth said that the workers had been met with twice already concerning the flower matter, and said that a more "hands-on" meeting was in the works for next week. He said the two part-time workers might now just be "temporary," due to "the weather."
"We had new employees at the cemetery," he said. "They weren't used to our terminology. We can't be out there every minute."
"I think there was a total misunderstanding all the way around with who they hired," Duffield told the MMI on Thursday (May 16). "I think that there should be some sort of compensation [offered for those whose flowers were thrown away, but] I'm not going to ask for any compensation for it."
* * *
As part of their want from the lawsuit, the City of Higbee is asking that Ashworth and Demirefe be re-appointed as Cemetery Association Directors; that Wilson, Hocker, and Rita Painter (another person who brought up the missing flowers at Monday's meeting) be removed from the HCA board and barred from serving on such for at least 20 years; that the Association resume paying for care of the cemetery; that Wilson, Hocker, and Painter pay over and account to the Association moneys that have been mis-spent; that the Association keep better books; that the Association take all actions necessary to restore their 501(c)(3) status; and that the Association "divest...funds from speculative investments and other investments contrary to [their] bylaws."
When asked personally what the City hoped to gain from the lawsuit, Ashworth said that he would "rather not say right now."
* * *
It was pointed out at Monday's meeting that there was no announcement placed in the local newspaper about the removal of flowers from the cemetery for clean-up.
Higbee city ordinance 319, section 17, bill no. 83-17, states that "the sexton is herby authorized to remove any and all floral tributes, spray, plants, or emblems for the purposes of mowing and otherwise maintaining the cemetery, provided that public notice of such removals is published either in a journal or newspaper of general circulation in Randolph County at least seven days prior to the scheduled date of such removal or by his posting at least five public notices in as many public places within the city and at least seven days prior to the scheduled removal."
Per board minutes from the Monday meeting, City Clerk Demirefe "said she was sorry she did not remember to place an ad in paper [seven] days before cemetery flowers were removed." She said that "no one told her to [put] it [in]."
Duffield asked the board if they could at least provide an apology to the people whose flowers they had thrown away.
Demirefe and Alderman Wiggington expressed remorse for the incident.
"[And] Ricky [Switzer] did apologize," Duffield later told the MMI. "I do have to give him kudos for that. That's more than we got from anyone else."
"I'm not apologizing for nothing," Alderman Borron said. Borron had, at a meeting back on Aug. 16, 2010, stated that he "[did] not believe the cemetery [was] property of the City of Higbee" and that he "[did] not want City employees involved with it, and if it is the City's property, he would like to give the cemetery to the Association." He could be visibly seen rolling his eyes and making loud sighing noises as persons spoke with the council about their missing flowers during Monday's meeting.
The remainder of the board, including the mayor, followed Borron's suit, refusing apology.
On Friday morning, however, Ashworth told the MMI that he did apologize, along with "three of the board members." The board minutes and firsthand MMI accounts, however, refute this fact.
The board also refused to reimburse those persons whose flowers had been thrown away at the city's hand.
"You all don't know what it's like to have a daughter buried out there," said citizen Deloris Dameron, during her public comment. She told the council that the city cemetery had been the prettiest around for many years, and noted that is wasn't being kept up as well as it should be.
"Someday, you'll all know," she said. She told the council that when they do, then "they would feel the same."
* * *
The Higbee Cemetery Association, due to the ongoing nature of their current lawsuit, asked that the MMI no longer reach out to them for comment or documentation after April 19, per their attorney's request.
* * *
It was sunny — maybe even a little hot on the way out of the Alderman meeting on Monday. It rained later in the week —just a little, and just enough to remind you of where you are — but of late, warmer weather seems to have finally hit its Missouri corner. At least, until tomorrow or the next day. It's hard to say with these things.
For now, the Higbee Cemetery Association is still in limbo. They are still hovering. Still meeting in those cramped church quarters. Despite requests from the city for them not to do so, the group unanimously voted to stick with their normal routine and sit out at the Higbee Cemetery on Memorial Day weekend, passing on their side of the current goings-on, and collecting donations that they hope to be able to use again someday in the future. Following their contract termination, the Association has refused to give money to the City for cemetery upkeep. Back in April, the Association told the MMI that they had spent nearly $2,500 from their donated funds on lawyer fees, alone. They will be holding their annual meeting for members on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, at 6:30 p.m., at the Higbee Christian Church.
"It's one of the weirdest, stupidest things that I've ever dealt with in my life," Wright said. He noted that Margaret Jones, the woman who had left the aforementioned $11,000 donation for the Association, also left close to $14,000 for the city to use. When it was announced that the Cemetery Association had also received a large donation from her, however, Wright said, the City initially refused the money outright. After discussing their options, though, they decided to use the funds after all — to make improvements to Katy Park in town.
A hearing date has been set for City of Higbee v. Higbee Cemetery Association: June 18, per court documents. Randolph County Circuit Judge Scott A. Hayes will be on tap, starting at 1:30 p.m.
"That's news to me," Ashworth told the MMI on Friday, when informed of such.
"We want to work with them," Wilson said. "They broke the contract."
GRAVE PROBLEMS: City of Higbee trashed graveyard flowers and won't reimburse, suing 'non-existent' association
It was cool outside that night -- remnants of winter fading into a wet spring sunset. April 16, 2013, and it hadn't rained for a solid "several" days, yet. That was the next week, looking at the calendar.

Codice Software has confirmed that SemanticMerge is now available. This represents what the company says is the first language-aware diff and merge tool, and it will now be available on a monthly subscription basis. SemanticMerge sits inside Plastic SCM, a distributed version-control system engineered for users who require extensive branching and merging, distributed (multi-site/global) scenarios, and typically, high performance.
SemanticMerge 1.0 features support for Java, C#, and VB.NET and will be "soon upgraded" with C and then C++ and JavaScript. The product itself is currently available for the Windows and Linux platforms — the Apple Mac OS X version will be released before the end of the year.
90% Efficiency Boost
According to the software development team, "SemanticMerge reduces the number of lines of code to be reviewed during diff and merge by a factor of 90%, which means an incredible productivity boost. SemanticMerge has been launched after a six month beta period where we received a huge amount of feedback from the early adopters and beta testers."
The firm reminds us that if you are a .NET software application developer, then you will have heard of the CodeLens feature in Visual Studio 2013 + TFS. This decorates every method in your C# file with useful version-control information like how many times it has been modified and when, on a per-method basis.
In response to this Codice says, "We've just released 'Semantic Method History', which is… well, CodeLens done right!"
According to the Plastic SCM blog, "We used to share CodeLens limitations but now we've just released a new version of MethodHistory that is based on our SemanticDiff technology; hence, it can track methods (and properties and classes…) not only when they're moved to a different location within the same class, but also when they are moved to a different subclass, to a different class within the same file, or even when they are renamed!"
The big difference between this current version and the previous generation (and presumably with CodeLens, too) is that before, the team just walked the file version history locating the method by name. "But now we are able to calculate semantic differences between versions and do a much better job locating the methods, properties, and so on," they say.

Following the 1609 Twelve Year Truce with Spain, and the Treaty of Münster which ended the 80 Year War in 1648, the war-damaged cities of the Dutch Republic were rebuilt and began to enjoy a new-found economic prosperity based on sea and river trade. The reconstruction and subsequent development of towns also required the increased use of tiles as a building material.
The earliest tiles were made of clay found along the floodplains of riverbeds; the clay was a blend of eroded rock fragments infused with minerals and organic matter, including iron, which produced the red color of tiles after firing. The first Dutch tiles were unglazed and used on the floor. Because the porous tiles deteriorated rapidly, however, lead and tin-glazing were quickly introduced to protect and waterproof the tiles. The technique of tin-glazing was first used in Europe by Moorish craftsmen in the early Middle Ages, but this method was introduced to the northern provinces of The Netherlands only in the beginning of the sixteenth century.
The Dutch craze for tiles in the home as objects of both utility and decoration – as a building material tiles reduced fire risk, kept out the damp and were an easy surface to keep clean - resulted in the establishment of factories not only in Delft, but throughout Holland to satisfy a constantly increasing demand.
The process of manufacturing and decorating Dutch tiles rarely strayed from several unvarying steps: The clay was first washed and left to mature, followed by massaging in a pug mill, which consisted of a large vertical wooden barrel containing metal cutters that were moved through the clay by a horse walking around the barrel. The prepared clay was then pressed into square wooden or metal frames and rolled flat. The frames were then lifted away and the clay was left to dry. Once firm, the clay was trimmed to size and biscuit fired at 1000 degrees Celsius for 20 to 40 hours, followed by up to three days of cooling within the kiln. Following this, tin glaze, which is a lead glaze to which tin oxide has been added, was applied. After the second firing, the tiles gained an opacity which provided an excellent background for decoration.
This group of wall tiles represents an early period in the development of Dutch tile making. From the late 16th to the early 17th century, emphasis was placed on figurative designs with a vibrant pattern covering the entire surface. These tiles are largely composed of European animal imagery, including lively hounds, stags and a horse. The inclusion of a crocodile illustrates the contemporary taste for exotic fauna. Burnt-orange diamond-shaped frames are accompanied by dark-blue and white corners decorated in reserve, a technique where the background is painted blue and the design itself is left white.

Description: Mastersmith Bill Burke's chef's knives are among the highest performing cutlery found anywhere. His heat treatment technique, combined with his choice of steel, results in edge holding that is far beyond other knives. This is a knife that you won't want to put down.
This exceptional paring knife is the perfect length for detail-oriented tasks, from removing the tops from strawberries and tomatoes to the eyes from potatoes. Any time you need precision cutting that is more exact, a paring knife is a good choice to grab for.
The blade was hand forged in a technique known as hon warikomi. This modification of san mai (three layers) forges stainless steel to the sides of a carbon steel blade. The result is the exceptional edge holding of carbon steel with significantly easier care. The transition line between stainless steel and carbon steel is exceptionally dramatic.
Like his hunting knives, this chef's knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The heat treatment followed the formulas developed by Mastersmith Ed Fowler in conjunction with Bill and has been proven to create some of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere.
The stainless bolster was tig welded to the blade for strength and durability. The handle is formed from Desert Ironwood -- one of the hardest woods found anywhere and is set with decorative mosaic pins. It is nicely carved to swell at the front of the handle, move into a slimmer waist and finally to swell again at the beak at the end of the handle. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

Captains, Pepin: Recruits Will 'Dig' New Digs
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
When Nebraska hosts its annual Holiday Inn Invitational Track and Field Meet at the Devaney Center Indoor Track this weekend, it will have a competitive advantage the Huskers have never had - their own sanctuary to rest, relax, fine-tune their minds, sharpen their strategies and bond together in a facility that becomes the ultimate bonus room for one of NU's most successful athletic programs.
"It's like we've gone from a 2-bedroom house to a mansion," Chad Wright told me at Monday's ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate a 5,400 square-foot renovation. The comprehensive remodeling project cost $180,000, but felt more like a million bucks to the men and women who eagerly installed their own personalized graphics on the new maple lockers that replaced those wobbly red metal lockers from yesteryear.
The reigning NCAA champion in the discus, Wright joined Husker teammates to celebrate the unveiling of their new locker room Monday afternoon with the same enthusiasm that Nebraska men and women basketball players showed when they moved into their new digs more than a year ago.
What were scattered lockers in six rooms shared with the men's and women's golf teams and tennis teams - not to mention visiting teams and meet officials - is now a full-fledged track and field facility that features 88 men's lockers and 66 women's lockers and caters to nearly every need and whim a student-athlete might have.
NCAA Champ: More than a Locker Room
"This is more than a locker room," Wright said. "It's a study room where I can do my homework and get cold (and purified) water from a (double-door) refrigerator. If I want to take a break, I can watch TV and keep up with things or relax and play a video game. If I was a recruit and saw all of this, there's no question I'd want to come here. This is like a big bonus for everyone here and everyone who's going to come here. I'm loving it!."
Wright, a junior from Kingston, Jamaica, isn't the only giddy Husker singing the praises of Nebraska track and field's new home. Joining him in that capacity Monday were three more Nebraska junior captains - Tim Thompson, an honorable mention All-America sprinter from Boys Town, Neb.; Ellie Grooters, an All-America hurdler from Fargo, N.D.; and Anne Martin, a talented combined events performer from Waverly, Neb., who received theBig Ten Distinguished Scholar Award in 2012.
"This new facility is so much better than what we had," Thompson said. "It creates a great environment for all of us, not only for competing, but for pleasure, academics and recruiting. It humbles me when Tom Osborne, who has so many accolades, respects track and field so much that he wanted to do something like this to make us even more successful. This is more than just a locker room, and we're all very grateful for that. We can get a lot of work done in here, yet still relax and chill in the same space.
"When you're a Division I athlete, you need an environment like this," Thompson said. "There are so many things that hold us up, but not when you have a place like this. Whether you're a shot putter or a middle distance runner, this is something that will only increase our level of intensity every day because we can combine our work with our relaxation. I mean, this is a really big deal ... for all of us."
Captains: Teams Can Get a Little Bit Closer
Grooters and Martin cut the ribbon to the women's locker room after Wright and Thompson shared that honor for the men's locker room, and all four captains seemed equally excited about the benefits.
"This is just a good place to hang out before and after practice," Grooters said. "We finally have a central location for all of us to connect. We all meet at different times during the day, but now that we have a facility like this, we'll probably get together here more than we ever have. It's 'our space' and a common area for both teams. We've always been a close team, but this gives us an opportunity to become much closer.
"There's something tangible when you can all hang out together and interact with each other," Grooters said. "We've never had space like this before, so we don't have any examples of how much it helps. But I can say that it already has. We have more people up here today at the same time than I've ever seen up here before. We're a big university, and we're seeing people today that we don't otherwise see.
"A locker room is a pretty central aspect of any sport," Grooters said. "In the past, we would come to practice, set our bag down near the track - both indoors and outdoors - pick up our bag after practice and then go home and shower. We've needed something like this, and now that we have it, we're all appreciative."
Martin Thanks T.O. for Making It All Happen
Martin thanks Osborne for leading the charge to make the new locker room a reality. "This means so much to all of us," she said. "First, Tom Osborne was behind us getting our new outdoor track. But I think this facility really shows how much he appreciates and respects what the track team has done over all these years."
Osborne retired last week, but remains a pivotal part of the athletic department as Nebraska Athletic Director Emeritus. He has been instrumental in facility improvements across the board, including the new locker room for a track program that has won three NCAA women's indoor championships, plus 67 Big Eight and Big 12 Conference team titles and one Big Ten Conference championship - all in the past 32 seasons.
"We're showing how much of a community Nebraska really is," Grooters said. "I think it's just great when an athletic director is willing to take funds generated from football and help support every sport we have. The university is a community of its own, and he (Osborne) supports everything about the university. I think that's unique, and I know how much it will help our recruiting. We can finally integrate our lives into our sport."
Nebraska coaches point out that Katie White, a fifth-year senior distance runner from Broken Bow, Neb., didn't even know Nebraska had track and field lockers until the end of her second season. Da'Nelle Earl, the operations and recruiting assistant for Nebraska track and field, knows why that's true. "We would show prospects our recruiting path, but not the scattered lockers that were behind the walls," she said.
Old Lockers Are Recruiting Musts to Avoid
Frankly, those old school lockers were not showcase worthy. "We're not the only school with that problem," said Carrie Lane, Nebraska's second-year throws coach. "Some of the big track powers have new combined facilities," she said, "but a lot of track programs don't have locker rooms, especially since track is mostly an outdoor sport."
Maggi Thorne, a one-time Nebraska hurdler and now assistant director of NU Athletics' Capital Planning and Construction team, coordinated the locker room improvements and admits she was well aware of some of the program's biggest shortcomings.
"This was a very exciting project for me," she said after the twin ribbon-cutting ceremony. When she transferred from junior college in California to compete at Nebraska 10 years ago, Thorne didn't see any lockers on her recruiting trip. "I didn't even know they existed because no one wanted to show them," she said. "I think it was because those lockers were so small, you couldn't even put a back pack in one."
Thorne has played a vital role in NU's major capital planning projects, including East Stadium expansion, the Hendricks Training Complex and the volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling home that will become a Devaney Center reality next fall.
Capital Planner Thorne Plays Heartfelt Role
The track and field project was near and dear to Thorne's heart. "We were working with a facility from a different time and a different era," she said. "To bring track and field up to the standards of our other sports has been really meaningful, especially when you're helping the sport that you competed in," she said. "There's a lot of joy there."
The good news is there's more to come. "When we put the outdoor siding up for the long hall outside the new locker rooms, we're planning to install big windows, so everyone can see outside," Thorne said. "We've always believed that you make a facility whole one piece at a time, and we're eager to get all sports fully vested so they can compete at the highest level."
Thorne predicts the new track and field locker rooms will help both teams build stronger team friendships and increase team spirit and camaraderie.
"This facility is meant to be as functional as any other sport could be," Thorne said. "There's no doubt about how it creates a competitive advantage, whether it's in the locker room, the classroom or just getting everyone better prepared to compete."
Pepin: Competitive, Recruiting Advantages
Nebraska Coach Gary Pepin has no doubt about that. In fact, when his Huskers host the 13-team Holiday Inn Invitational Friday beginning at 4 p.m. and Saturday beginning at noon, Nebraska's veteran head coach can already see men and women athletes retreating to their new sanctuary to rest, relax, block out the world and reach a competitive mindset they might not otherwise achieve.
"We've always wanted something like this," Pepin said, referring to the new floors, the painted walls, the updated showers, the ceiling tile, the lighting and the benches next to the new lockers with individual graphics. Yes, Nebraska deserves the kitchenettes and vanities with granite counter tops, the new lounges with 60-inch plasma TVs and a sound system controllable by each student-athlete's phone equipped with the right app.
Pepin may not require such amenities, but even he has to smile when he sees recessed lighting in the walls of a locker room designed for a study area with a booth, pendant lights and lounge furniture.
"This really will help recruiting," Pepin said.
When a coach of his stature speaks, he can make a powerful point by the sheer inflection of his voice. "We've all worked hard to get this," Pepin said, "and I think we deserve everything we've worked so hard to get."

Snoring is a sound made during sleep. It is the sound of the throat vibrating as air flows through it.
Air should be able to move easily through your mouth, nose, and throat. Sometimes, during sleep, air cannot move through these areas easily. This poor airflow makes the roof of the mouth vibrate. This is what causes the snoring sound. Smaller airways can lead to louder snoring. Airflow may be obstructed by:
- Weak muscles in the tongue and throat
- Enlarged tonsils, adenoids, or other obstructions such as a tumors or cysts
- Excessive tissue around the throat due to obesity
Structural factors:
- A long, soft palate
- A long uvula
- Deformities of the nose or nasal septum
- Small chin, overbite, or high palate
- Congested nasal passages from a cold, flu, sinus infection, or allergies
Risk Factors
This condition is more common in those over 50 years, especially men. Other factors include:
- Being overweight
- A family history of snoring
- Use of drugs (central nervous system depressants) or alcohol that act as respiratory depressants
- Lying on back while sleeping
- Nasal obstruction due to a cold, sinus infection, allergy, enlarged adenoids, or injury that has displaced the nasal cartilage or bones
The main symptom of snoring is noisy breathing during sleep.
Snoring may be associated with a sleep condition called sleep apnea. Snoring with sleep apnea may cause these symptoms:
While sleeping:
- Gasping
- Choking
- Long pauses in breathing
- Frequent awakening
While awake:
- Sleepiness and fatigue during the day
- Slowness in mental functioning
- Headaches
When Should I Call My Doctor?
Call your doctor if you snore and you have other symptoms of sleep apnea. Talk to your doctor if you have regular snoring that is bothering you or your partner.
If your child is snoring regularly, talk to their doctor.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done, especially of the throat, neck, mouth, and nose.
Tests may include a sleep study in a laboratory to determine how much the storing is disrupting your sleep.
In cases of snoring without sleep apnea, lifestyle changes may relieve symptoms. More severe cases may require surgery or devices.
Lifestyle Changes
Changes that may help stop snoring include:
- If you are overweight, lose weight.
- Exercise to improve muscle tone.
- Avoid drinking alcohol or taking sedatives.
- Establish regular sleeping patterns.
- Sleep on your side rather than on your back.
- Treat causes of nasal congestion, such as allergies or colds.
- Raise the head of the bed up about 4 inches. Use extra pillows or put something under the mattress.
Surgery may be done to remove excess tissue in the nose or throat. During surgery, a laser or scalpel will remove the tissue that is blocking the airway. Treatment by laser surgery requires a series of surgeries. These surgeries are usually reserved for severe and disruptive cases of snoring.
Another procedure is to try to stiffen the roof of the mouth.
Devices that can open airways during sleep include:
- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)—airway is propped open by a continuous flow of air. The air passes through a mask-like device that you wear during sleep. It is more commonly used for people with obstructive sleep apnea.
- Mouthpieces—to help position the soft palate and tongue for better breathing
To reduce the chances of snoring, take these steps:
- Maintain a healthy body weight.
- Treat cold and allergy symptoms.
- Avoid drinking alcohol or taking sedatives for several hours before bedtime.
- Sleep on your side.

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammation of the outer layers of the skin.
The exact cause of eczema is not known. Factors that may contribute to eczema include:
- Genetics
- Environment
- Allergies
Risk Factors
Eczema is more common in people of African or Asian descent.
Factors that increase your chance of eczema include:
- Asthma or hay fever
- Urban areas or places with low humidity
- A family history of eczema or allergic disorders
- Exposure to certain fabrics, perfumes in soaps, dust mites (common), or foods
- Stress, especially if it leads to scratching
- Frequent washing of affected areas
- Use of rubber gloves in persons sensitive to latex
- Scratching or rubbing of skin
- Immunosuppressant medications
- Excess weight or obesity
The symptoms vary from person to person. Scratching and rubbing can cause or worsen some of the symptoms. Symptoms include:
- Dry, itchy skin
- Cracks behind the ears or in other skin creases
- Red rashes on the cheeks, arms, and legs
- Red, scaly skin
- Thick, leathery skin
- Small, raised bumps on the skin
- Crusting, oozing, or cracking of the skin
- Symptoms that worsen in the winter when inside air is dry due to central heating
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The diagnosis is made by the appearance and location of the rash. You may be referred to specialist. A dermatologist focuses on skin disorders. An allergist focuses on allergies.
The main goals of eczema treatments are to:
- Heal the skin and keep it healthy
- Stop scratching or rubbing
- Avoid skin infection
- Prevent flare-ups
- Identify and avoid triggers
Treatment options may vary. Your doctor may recommend more than one depending on your condition. They include:
Skin Care
Proper skin care may allow the skin to heal. Treatment may include the following:
- Avoid hot or long baths or showers. Keep them less than 15 minutes.
- Use mild, unscented bar soap or non-soap cleanser. Use it sparingly.
- Air-dry or gently pat dry after bathing. Apply gentle moisturizer when your skin is still damp.
- Treat skin infections right away.
In some cases, medication may also be needed and may include:
- Prescription creams and ointments containing cortisone, tacrolimus, or pimecrolimus
- Prescription or over-the-counter antihistamines to help prevent itching
- Antibiotics applied directly to the skin or taken by mouth in order to treat infections
- Oral medications, such as prednisone or cyclosporine for severe cases
If skin care and medications are not effective, light therapy may be used. This may include:
- Treatment with ultraviolet A light and 5-methoxypsoralen (PUVA)
- Photopheresis—For severe cases
It is difficult to prevent eczema. This is most true when there is a strong family history.

Just wait for the third quarter kick. That's the MO the Lady Wildcats have taken this second half of the season. And just like clockwork, the Oak Ridge girls powered by a 9-2 run in the final two minutes was enough to get by Campbell County, 54-41.
Just wait for the third quarter kick. That's the MO the Lady Wildcats have taken this second half of the season. And just like clockwork, the Oak Ridge girls powered by a 9-2 run in the final two minutes was enough to get by Campbell County, 54-41.
After having shot just 52 percent from the line and missing a rash of layups the last two games, Oak Ridge (13-10, 10-4 in 3-AAA) put together the third quarter rally of the two to push the Lady Cougars back.
"The last two minutes looked good," coach Kerra Jackson said. "Minus those first six minutes in the third quarter, I can't complain too bad."
The spurt began with a steal by Asia Anderson who hit Whitney Mitchell for a layup. Kendra Holmes put in another and converted a three-point play with a made free throw. Mitchell got a pair of free throws on the next Oak Ridge possession and Caitlyn Ledden capped it with a steal and push ahead to Caelyn Thompson.
Oak Ridge seniors Mitchell and Holmes helped the team down the stretch hitting 7 of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter and snapping their slumps. Mitchell finished with a game-high 23 points with Holmes right behind her with 21 while the two combined for 17 of 23 at the line.
"Last week they had a little bit of a slump," coach Jackson said. "Sometimes January gets long. Tonight, they played hard and aggressive and made the shots we needed."
"We shot 80 percent from the line (as a team). I felt good about it. Shooting 80 percent from the line and only nine turnovers, that's a good night."
Though no other Lady 'Cats player had more than four points, Jackson said the defensive effort proved crucial with Campbell County (8-14, 4-9) cutting the lead to one in the third.
"Other people were playing pretty good roles," she said. "Caitlyn (Ledden) got her hands on so many balls. She was mixing it up inside. Without that inside, would we have won? I don't think so.
Taylor (Howe) hit a big shot outside that she doesn't normally shoot. That helped us out."
The Lady Cougars were led by Jamie Myanatt with 10 and Niki Ward with nine.
After playing Halls late Tuesday, Oak Ridge will face Powell for the No. 3 seed in the District 3-AAA tournament.

Most thrown pots with lids are variations on two basic types. The gallery can either be located on the rim of the pot or on the edge of the lid. When glazing, we will address ways to achieve the kind of richness and surface variation in electric kilns that potters have come to associate with fuel-burning kilns and reduction firing. The goal is not to imitate reduction, but to set the stage so that multiple layered glazes can interact with each other in the firing. The basic techniques of spraying and the more advanced theories of layering and blending glazes will be addressed. We will fire at cone 6 oxidation. This will be an intermediate-to-advanced workshop. Demonstrations will be on throwing and assembly, but hand-builders are welcome as well. Click on the workshop title to learn more. For 25% campus lodging discount type EarlyBird2013 when signing up.

A new charter school for middle and high school students, the Franklin School of Innovation, could open next year if the organizers' application is approved by the state.
A new charter school for middle and high school students, the Franklin School of Innovation, could open next year if the organizers' application is approved by the state.
Friday was the deadline set by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction for anyone interested in opening a public charter school to file a letter of intent. Representatives of the Franklin School traveled to Raleigh to submit the paperwork in person, said Michelle Vruwink, a spokesperson for the school's developers.
"We have given them our letter of intent, and we will have our application completed and sent in by March, which is the deadline for applications," she said. "It's very exciting. We believe The Franklin School of Innovation meets a need in this area."
The school is partnering with Expeditionary Learning, a nationally recognized educational model, and organizers plan to feature rigorous academics, inquiry-based learning, community engagement through service learning, fieldwork and internships, and a strong component of leadership and character development. Expeditionary Learning is an inquiry-based educational program that provides a lot of "hands-on" instruction. Students are exposed to lessons in a variety of ways, not simply through lectures, Vruwink explained.
"This (inquiry-based learning) is more hands-on, more real-world," she said. "There are currently models of this being used in schools in the area such as SILSA at Asheville High School, AB Tech's Early College and Evergreen Community Charter School in Buncombe County. They have all been recognized by the state as Honor Schools of Excellence."
If the group's application is approved, the Franklin School of Innovation would open in August 2014 serving grades six through nine, adding a grade each year to ultimately serve grades six through 12.
Vruwink said school representatives, including herself and her husband, Kirk, are currently searching for a place to locate the school, with an eye toward the Hendersonville Road corridor in Buncombe County, although several possible sites are being considered. Henderson County has also not been ruled out.
She added that the Buncombe County school district was provided with a copy of the Franklin School's letter of intent, and the school district is required to submit an impact statement to the state DPI which explains how the charter school would affect the district.
Approval from a local school board is not required as part of the public charter school application process, Vruwink said.
The Franklin group spent the past six months in the research and planning process in preparation for filing a letter of intent and submitting an application, Vruwink said.
"We took a look at what was there and we did want to position ourselves to provide a choice," she said, adding "it's not that the public schools here aren't good; they are, but it is about offering a choice."
The Vruwinks own operate Arroyo Research Services, a company that does educational research and program evaluations for school districts all across the country.

below is from a Scammer! Some of the emails
may not look like scams, but they all lead to the same
thing. The scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money
order) for more then the pet is worth, then they will
ask you to send them back the difference in money. A
couple weeks later you find out the check was fake and
the bank will take it out of your account. This scam
can be set up several ways.
key points for pointing out a scammer:
1. Doesn't care much about the pet, just the transaction.
2. Says they will use their own shipper.
3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas (Nigeria, Israel, South Africa)
4. Pays you more then the pet is worth, then asks for the difference in money back.

text: Sorry to have been away for a few days, loyal blog readers. I took a family vacation to Columbus, Ohio (don't ask why), and then got stuck in Columbus, thanks to US Air's typical crappiness. Seriously, is there a worse airline than US Air? I think not. Further, I'm slightly distracted today thanks to the glorious Celtics victory that went down last night. I watched all 18 of their 18 straight losses last year, so feel extra deserving of some gloating this year. Also, I'm a typical Boston sports fan and am just generally a jerk about such things, so here's a nice photo for y'all (that's Celtic coach Doc Rivers, whom I've called lots of nasty names over the years, in front of long-time Celtics icon Red Auerbach): Thus, my blog entry for the day is a whimsical tale from Scotland of "a security company enforcer who threatened people to get contracts for her firm." That's one way to drum up new recurring revenue. But it gets better: Heavily-built Marion Lang, 50, had earlier been found guilty on three counts of extortion after a nine-day trial. I love how she's "heavily built." As though a small woman couldn't burn down your house or shoot your dog.

Cushing's syndrome is a hormone disorder. Cortisol, in normal doses, helps the body manage stress and infection. However, high levels over a long period of time can cause several health problems.
Cushing's syndrome is caused by extended exposure to a hormone called cortisol. Prolonged or excess exposure to cortisol may be caused by:
- Long-term use of corticosteroid hormones, such as cortisone or prednisone
Excess production of cortisol by:
- Tumor or abnormality of the adrenal gland.
- Tumor or abnormality of the pituitary gland. In the case of a pituitary tumor, it is called Cushing's disease
- Rarely, tumors of the lung, thyroid, kidney, pancreas, or thymus gland.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of Cushing's syndrome include:
- Obesity with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
Cushing's syndrome may cause:
- Weight gain of the upper body and trunk
- Rounded face
- Severe fatigue or muscle weakness
- Easily bruised, thinner skin
- Purple stretch marks
- Excess hair growth or acne in women
- Menstrual disorders, especially infrequent or absent periods
- Reduced fertility and interest in sex
- Personality changes or mood swings
- Bone loss—osteoporosis
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may be done to determine the level of cortisol and find a cause.
Tests for cortisol levels may include:
- 24-hour urinary free cortisol level
- Late-evening cortisol saliva/blood level
- Dexamethasone suppression test
Tests to determine the cause of Cushing's syndrome may include:
- Blood test for adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) level
- High-dose dexamethasone suppression test
Imaging tests evaluate the pituitary and adrenal glands, and other internal structures. These may include:
Treatment of Cushing's syndrome depends on the cause. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
- Surgical removal of tumor
- Surgical removal of part, all, or both adrenal glands
- Radiation therapy for some persistent tumors
- Gradual withdrawal of cortisone-type drugs under close medical supervision
- Drugs that decrease cortisol production or block the functioning of other adrenal products

TUSCALOOSA | Plum Grove Baptist Church is taking seriously the African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child." In September 2012, the Rev. Tyshawn Gardner, pastor of Plum Grove, opened the West-Side Scholars Academy, an academic enrichment program. Its mission is to develop Tuscaloosa's youth intellectually and socially so they can compete on an international level in academics and jobs.
TUSCALOOSA | Plum Grove Baptist Church is taking seriously the African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child."
In September 2012, the Rev. Tyshawn Gardner, pastor of Plum Grove, opened the West-Side Scholars Academy, an academic enrichment program. Its mission is to develop Tuscaloosa's youth intellectually and socially so they can compete on an international level in academics and jobs.
"I think education is the key that unlocks so many doors," said Gardner, who also is dean of the academy. "Jobs and so many other opportunities become available when you have an education.
"Our motto is 'Achieving excellence by affirming greatness,' " he said. "We believe there's greatness in every child and it's our responsibility to affirm that, not only intellectually, but socially as well."
West-Side Scholars Academy is a fifth- through eighth-grade program that meets from 8 a.m. to noon on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. Classes are held at Plum Grove's new Development and Outreach Center, which is adjacent to the church.
There are 16 students in the program's inaugural class. The school has nine teachers and six administrators. Scholars at the academy are required to wear the school uniform — a long-sleeve button-down white dress shirt with the academy logo on it, a blue tie and khakis.
The academy teaches math, reading, science, Latin, public speaking, drama, character development and business etiquette.
"Business etiquette isn't formalized as a class, but it is reinforced through everything we do, like giving firm handshakes, looking people in the eye when you speak to them, keeping your appearance neat and speaking properly," said Art Dunning, director of the academy.
Justin Jones, a teacher at the academy, described the school's teaching style as interactive.
"One of the ways that we combat kids not wanting to be in Saturday school is we engage them," Jones said. "We play different kinds of music that many of them may not have heard before. We use props like playing cards to teach math. We use games to help them learn in a way that keeps them interested, but we also challenge them in all kinds of ways.
"We want to challenge their thinking process," he said. "Also, we are focused on dispelling this nonsense idea that as a student you have no responsibilities. They need to know that when they enter high school, the consequences for not succeeding are high."
Gardner said the academy isn't competing with local public schools. He said the academy's staff wants to aid local schools by maximizing their classroom performance.
"Consistently we're asking our school systems to do more with less," Jones said. "The academy is here to help them go beyond."
Study abroad
Dunning said they want academy scholars to become cultured and to change their perspectives.
"We want them to have exposure and enlightenment," Dunning said. "That's why we're taking them to Costa Rica in early August for four days. They'll be staying at the University of Georgia located there. While there, they'll have classes on biodiversity, visit a volcano, study the ecology of the rainforest and go to the physical site of a continental divide.
"We want these things to be life-altering," he said. "It's one thing for us to talk about biodiversity and continental divide, but it's another thing to expose them to it."
All 16 scholars and some of their family members will travel to Costa Rica.
They'll travel this summer to nearby locations such as the University of Alabama at Birmingham's interactive 3-D visualization and simulation lab.
Mariah Cook, a 12-year-old at the academy and a seventh-grader at Tuscaloosa Magnet School Middle, said her science, math and Latin classes at the academy have helped her in school.
"I'm learning that Latin helps you understand other romantic languages," Mariah said. "It's helping me in my Spanish class at the magnet school.
"I like the academy because it's not all doom and gloom," she said. "It's fun and energizing."
Funding, admission
Dunning said the academy is funded by tuition, grants from Coca-Cola, the Bank of Tuscaloosa and the city of Tuscaloosa. Gardner said that the academy falls under the Citizens Impacting Community Association, a local nonprofit created by Plum Grove. The association receives funding from a city of Tuscaloosa block grant, which is where a large portion of the academy's funding stems.
Tuition at the academy is $150 a year, but scholarships are available to youth who meet certain criteria.
The academy is open to any middle school student in Tuscaloosa County. Gardner said the academy focuses on middle school students because research shows that the transition from middle school to high school can be tough.
"We know that when they go to high school, they'll have to take tests like the ACT, and transitioning to high school can be socially challenging," Gardner said.
Any middle school student can apply to the academy, but admission is not automatic.
"We have an interview process where we interview the students and their families," Dunning said. "I look for the interest of the child. This should be something the child views as an opportunity, not a labor."
"When we interview the family, we identify their strengths and needs," he said. "We want to get from them a deeper understanding of the child. We want to find a right fit for not only the family's aspirations, but where we're trying to go with this program. We want an internationally recognized program and we want families that want to see their child as international scholars."
Jones said it doesn't matter what a child or a family's background is, what matters is how they see themselves.
"We want to give them an anchor," Dunning said. "We want them to become disciplined, but also have fun while they're learning. We want them to have the etiquette and sophistication to be able to handle themselves in any situation they find themselves in.
"We don't just want them to learn, but to learn how to learn," he said. "Because learning is life."

Different sized brands will have different goals for doing a pop-up, however, they typically tend to fall into the three big buckets of:
Revenue Generation
Brand Awareness
Customer Engagement
Not to say that you couldn't have all three goals to aspire for, however, it is important to clarify your primary goal as that will dictate how you make decisions around aspects of your retail store design and promotion strategy. Several well-known brands will do a pop-up for the sole purpose of surprising and delighting prospective customers to capture a larger share-of-mind when it comes to their brand's positioning, whereas smaller brands want to see if they can sell their wares in retail and get feedback on their brand, shopping experience, and determine which products are winners and which will never sell.
Some questions you can ask yourself to help determine which goals work best for you, consider the following:
Are you launching a brand for the first time?
Are you announcing a new product line within an existing brand?
Are you flushing out the current season's inventory to make room for new merchandise?
Are you interested in testing new geographic regions in which to establish your brand?
Are you a highly established brand interested in marketing and customer appreciation?
Having a clear and articulate budget for your pop-up store is a critical and vital step which will help you determine some of the most important components when it comes to doing a pop-up. For example, you'll know how much you can afford for rent which will determine which locations and properties are worth your while to scout and inquire about, or how much you can spend on designing the interior of your store, or marketing your pop-up for that matter. Here's a few items that you'll definitely want to factor in when creating your budget:
Credit Card Fees
Merchandising Fixtures
Checkout Counter
Window Display Props
Marketing and Promotion
Food and Drinks
Depending on the duration of the pop-up and your goals your budget will have additional or less items. However, once you have a rough idea of how much you're willing to spend on your pop-up, you're then ready to start looking for a location, which we'll cover in the next chapter.

As the price amplitude is large, it may further trigger panic, leading to the behavior of investors to buy, sell immediately. Investors need to be wary of the risks of price volatility and be careful with leverage.
Risk point 2: The founder BM remains unknown, affecting investor confidence
The EOS's soul man, Daniel LaZrimer , is well known in the industry, and his two previous projects, BTS and STEEM, were successful. However, BM left the job after the success of the project. After he left, the projects went unattended.Daniel LaZrimer
EOS faced the same potential risk. There are constant rumours that BM will leave the team after the main network is online. In case BM leaves after the network is online, then it will have a negative impact on community support of EOS.
Risk point 3: Major technological innovations have not been achieved as expected. The major motive of EOS is to solve the problem oflow transaction frequency and traffic congestion. The new version of TPS is lower than expected.
However, the Dawn 3.0 version of EOS.IO has a maximum TPS of 1900 in the test environment, which is far from the average TPS 3000, optimal TPS 6000 and theoretical optimal TPS 8000 in the Dawn 3.0 specification document. The latest Dawn 4.0 version has a maximum TPS in the test environment that is lower than the 3.0 version of 1900 per second. The above is the main risk point of the project, and the following is the specific analysis of the project.EOS.IO
Statement: If any project is doubtfully implemented, then the result of the rating or the related data to lodge a complaint (including but not limited to project operation Numbers and important team members change reason, code updates and the latest performance, etc.), analysis division team will integrate the material accordingly.
If, during the investigation process the analyst team use incorrect methods to influence the results, like changes in the project, can lead to a change in the rating of the risk level.
