To find a place near her daughter and family
Florida is a mighty long way from Oregon.
And there came a time when Ceil Hermann's daughter in Bend hinted that she couldn't fly to West Palm Beach, Florida, every time her mother got sick. "Not that I was sick a lot," Ceil says. Still, she understood what her daughter had meant.
Ceil recalls thinking, "I guess it's time for me to make a change." So, Ceil visited Bend to find a place near her daughter and family.
The River Lodge at Touchmark wasn't finished yet, but Ceil liked what she saw. She signed up for a new lodge home and returned to Florida to pack.
Ceil moved in the same day the River Lodge opened—in November 2003. "I have a wonderful two-bedroom, two-bath home overlooking the river," Ceil says. "I have to be on the river; I never get tired of looking at it. I wanted a beautiful view, and I have it!"
Ceil's son lives in Montana, "which isn't too far away," she says. And, of course, her daughter lives within a few miles now. Ceil and her daughter talk every day on the phone, which they could do even when they lived on opposite ends of the country, but these days they get to have lunches and dinners together once or twice a week and share special holidays and celebrations.
And if "a little medical emergency" should come up—like it did for Ceil recently—both mother and daughter can rest assured that this is the best place to be. "Touchmark takes care of everything," Ceil says. "They are Johnny-on-the-spot!"
While she clearly enjoys spending more time with her daughter and family, Ceil also has developed a new family of friends at Touchmark and stays incredibly active. "I don't think you should sit in your chair," she says. "You should get out and do something!"
Ceil is always thinking ahead to her next adventure. It could be an opera with friends, a lively game of bridge, or an overnight outing to Portland. She also likes to visit her two grandchildren who live in Seattle. Her three other grandchildren live in different cities, and her great-granddaughter lives in Nashville.

Brassard was selected No. 6 overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by Columbus thanks to his offensive abilities. Brassard spent four seasons with the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League where he tallied 75 goals over parts of three seasons.
Following his junior career, Brassard split time between the Blue Jackets and Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League in 2007. In 17 NHL games, Brassard posted one goal and two assists, while in the AHL, he posted 15 goals and 51 points in 42 games.
Brassard became a mainstay in Columbus during the 2007-08 season, scoring 10 goals and 25 points in 31 games. His best offensive season came in 2010-11, when he scored 17 goals and 47 points in 74 games.
The 25-year-old adds speed and passing ability to the Rangers lineup, which was evident in his debut on Wednesday night, when he scored a goal and three assists for four points, which was a career-high. He's very effective on the power play, which will help the Rangers who have struggled with the man advantage for most of the season. Brassard adds depth down the middle of the Rangers lineup and to their bottom-six.

A deeper chamber produces an effortless tone reminiscent of the 1950s and 60s!The JodyJazz DV NY mouthpieces are made from 24-karat Gold Plated Brass that was then carefully proportioned and hand finished. Introducing the concept of Golden Section Proportions to the art of high end saxophone mouthpiece design, the chamber produces more harmonics in the sound, resulting in huge projection and a highly efficient mouthpiece. The special facing technology used on the DV ensures a perfect seal with the reed, every time, for clean articulation and unbelievable altissimo notes! A major component of this mouthpiece is the Secondary Window, which allows the sound wave to bounce off the reed instead of the mouthpiece material as it resonates in the chamber. These free blowing mouthpieces provide an effortless playing experience with a big sound and excellent intonation.

By Daniel Pebbles
We men, we live, we are strong, we rule, we beat our chest, and yet our strength is nothing next to the will of the women who love us. I have never been surer of this than I was when I watched my wonderful, beautiful, wife (my SPARTAN PRINCESS) complete the Spartan Military Sprint Challenge at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs Colorado.
For months now I have watched my wife dedicate herself to change physically and mentally. Working out almost daily at Gottsche. Now she had been doing this while never failing in any of her others endeavors such as taking care of our children, our home, her more than needy husband, and full time job.
I did not know much about what she had signed up for with this Spartan Race until I watched what it made her. Waves of 200 racers were released beginning at 0800 hrs. and continued throughout the day. Sherri's heat was set to go at 0915 so numerous racers had been released prior to her start, making the course ahead wet and muddy in places that those who started first and or were in the lead would never have known. Just to give you an idea the first obstacle was a series of trenches that were 4 to 5 feet in width and full of water and mud, and there were at least five of them.
She was nervous and so was I, but she now it was time for her to do her thing out on the course. So then the waiting started. Minutes were multiplied and time seemed to slow down as I watched for her to appear on the horizon. And then finally of all people to see her, Stone said, "Hey there is mom." He pointed to an area just after the mud crawl, under the barb wire and through several mud pits, as long as or longer than two semi trucks and trailers end to end. And there she was covered in mud from head to toe running toward the "spear throw."
I hollered, "Sherri" and the kids yelled, "mom!"
We caught up with her just prior to the spear throw and due to the bottle neck of throwers we were able to exchange a few words. She was muddy from head to toe, sopping wet shoes and an abundance of mud caked on her face, hair, and clothes. I could tell she was tired, exhausted.
I looked at her and simply said, "Do you want to quit." And with a look that I honestly can say I have never seen in her before she said, "No". I never asked again. We told her that we loved her and she continued on to the spear throw. That is where we lost her and we did not find her again until the mud pits on the other side.
Once she emerged from the mud pits there was the slanted wall of 10 feet or so that now was covered in wet mud, and the ropes were so slick with mud the racers could not hold on as they attempted to scale the wall and continue on. This is where I truly learned the meaning of this endeavor that my Spartan Princess had got herself into. As racer after racer attempted the slick muddy wall and muddy ropes, numerous racers slipped and fell back from where they had started. Other racers stepped forward and were able to get atop the wall and sat on top and helped racer after racer get up and over this obstacle. Encouraging words, hands outstretched helping each other beyond this obstacle of slick mud and slimy rope. This is when I learned this race was not about who was first or the fastest. It was about who was willing to give that possibility up to turn and put out their hand to someone who was struggling and simply say, "Take my hand." I am a man a chest beater but I became just a little emotional at this point, not outwardly because I am a chest beater.
As Sherri stood in line for this obstacle we were to be able to speak with her. She was watching as racer after racer slid back and or fought this wall. She looked at me and said, "I don't think I can get over that, I don't know anyone here to help me. I told her to just go for it and they would help her. And she did, she grabbed the muddy rope and twisted it around her hand and placed her muddy shoes on the slick muddy wall and began to pull herself up and as she did the racer on the wall above her and the one below her helped her scale that wall of which she thought she could not do. I was in awe of her, and so very proud. Then we again lost sight of her for what seemed like forever. In the distance you could see where it appeared racers had to drag huge tires and hike up and down a steep hill with back packs (that I was sure were not empty) and then disappear from sight for god knows what for which seemed like forever.
And then again on the horizon the kids and I seen her, coming down the hill toward the last four obstacles that were between her and the end of this madness. What were left were the rope climb, cargo net, fire pit and gladiator pit. The rope climb was so slick with mud it was 30 burpee's and on to the cargo net. Sherri climbed up and over without a hitch. Then on to the fire pit, which she cleared with ease, and through the gladiator pit to the finish line. That's when my Spartan Princess received her Spartan medal.
As I took her picture standing there covered in mud from head to toe, with her medal around her neck on the right side of the finish line. I realized why she had answered the way she did when I asked her if she wanted to quit. Even though at the time of my question I knew and she knew she was tired and hurt all over but it did not matter as she intended to conquer and nothing was going to prevent that, not 4.5 miles, not 28 obstacles, not the mud, not being alone (or at least thinking you were), the face I looked into was one of determination and dedication. I realized it was the same as many of the faces that I saw thrusting forth their hands and simply saying, "take my hand, there is no way we fail".
I learned a lot from my Spartan Warrior Princess this date. And I am one lucky chest beater.

I had decided to have Emerge fraction laser resurfacing on the area under my eyes. I am 30 and have under eye creases which age me considerably. I had read lots of reviews and decided on this treatment due to the minimal downtime.
I went to Skin Deep in Perth. There was an offer where you pay for 3 sessions and get a third free (so I paid $660 in total for 4 under eye sessions)
The first appointment included a consultation which was helpful. I was nervous so this answered all of my questions and helps put me at ease. As I had an important meeting at work early the next morning I asked for the setting to be low to reduce any redness and inflammation. I believe the setting for this first session was 1 (being the lowest - it goes up to 5).
She did a patch test, on the side of my face - to see how my skin would react - then too photos in a booth that shows sun damage etc. These photos are taken before each session to track your progress. After the photos she checked the test patch - which was red, but otherwise fine. No adverse reaction.
She started the procedure - which was fine. It was uncomfortable - but bearable. The eye area is sensitive, it made my eyes water! It felt like holding an electric fence (or as others have described - a rubber band flicking repeatedly on your face). Straight afterwards it is hot, like epic sunburn, but she gave me an ice pack and it was bearable. Cooling gel was applied.
Leaving the appointment I had my sunglasses on, so no-one really took any notice. I was red and puffy, but otherwise fine.
As the setting was low for this appointment when I got up the next day I was puffy (like I had been crying) and red, but nothing a good bit of concealer couldn't handle! The days after were fine, a bit of foundation and no-one would have even noticed!
For my next appointment, I booked in on a Friday afternoon - knowing that I had the weekend to hide - I asked her to use the maximum setting (5). This hurt! It was a marked difference from setting 1 which I had originally! The pain was worse, but it wasn't unbearable. (Although I was glad when it was over!) The burning lasted for about an hour afterwards (like someone had gone over my skin with sandpaper) but as recommended, I iced for the next few hours.
The next day I woke up significantly more puffy and red that last time, but again, a dab of mineral make up took the edge off. I went to the gym (probably not wise as the sweat stung a little!) I felt like I did look a bit odd, but not bad enough to keep me indoors!
The second day of recovery saw the pigmentation darken (so in certain lights I looked like I had 2 black eyes!) But, mineral makeup took the worse off. It is worth mentioning that at this stage the skin is quite rough, so makeup does not go on very easily. This dry skin should flake off over the next day or two.
It is now Monday. There is still increased pigmentation, but no one at work has noticed. I will post another update once this has fully healed and rate the procedure then. After the first procedure, my lines were slightly improved, but I will hopefully see more of an improvement after the second treatment at a higher setting.

All healing up really well. Where the speckled 'burn' marks are, if you look really close, you can just about make them out still.
Overall texture of my skin is lovely. Smooth and plump. I have been moisturising like a crazy women since the treatment. My under eye creases are a lot less noticeable when I dont smile. When I smile they are still there but softer.

Doing Well By Doing Good
It seemed too much of a coincidence for this issue, that two of my interview subjects - one, the executive director for the oldest family foundation in the nation, the other, a corporate attorney about to "go virtual" with his practice - both spoke so passionately about social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Then, a week or two later, I attended the 2004 Economic & Financial Literacy Conference, where the keynote speaker, social entrepreneur and Project Hope CEO John Bryant, had the crowd saying "Amen" to his proposal to wage a "Silver Rights" war on poverty and economic illiteracy.
Alfred Castle, the executive director of the Samuel N. and Mary Castle Foundation, says foundations should be innovating socially. He says, "The Weinberg foundation does fabulous work, Atherton, Cooke, Charles Wang foundations - everybody's doing wonderful work in our own areas, but we're really doing our work best when we take those social risks on behalf of the public good, without having to wait."
Attorney Greg Kim told me of his son's venture into social entrepreneurship. Earlier this year, River Kim and friends organized and conducted a fundraising concert called Malama Jam, to benefit Hawaii's homeless, which grossed $20,000. Greg Kim intends to keep focused on our community as he launches his virtual law firm, Vantage Counsel LLC. He says, "I think our mantra is going to be, 'Make a difference.' I want everyone to be focused on that, with clients, but also with the larger community."
An Internet search for "social innovation" revealed that Stanford University's graduate school of business has a Center for Social Innovation. There's also a Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship. It's Web site, www.schwabfound.org, defines social entrepreneurship as:
o An approach to a social issue. It is not a field of discipline that can be learned in academia.
o An approach that cuts across disciplines (medicine, engineering, law, education, investment banking, agronomy, environment, etc.) and is not confined to sectors (health, transportation, finance, labor, trade, and the like).
o More related to leadership than to management.
The last point is something that we should all take to heart, as Walter Dods steps down and as we head into 2005. It has particular resonance, given our mission at Hawaii Business, as we look forward to our 50th anniversary year. When you see our January issue you will notice some design innovations as we continuously seek to refine and improve the way we serve our readers. Behind it all, Hawaii Business remains committed to making positive contributions and making a difference.

I have always wanted to take an iconic item from Captain Scott's expedition with me on the journey South – but what ?
Earlier this week I had the rare honour of being presented with Captain Oates' polar medal in the Cavalry and Guards Clubs in front of the fabulous painting of him walking to his death. Mr Bryan Oates, his great nephew, was also present.
The medal, awarded posthumously, will travel to Scott's Terra Nova hut at Cape Evans and then be taken on the journey across the Ross Ice Shelf to the point he was last seen. The team will build a small snow cairn to mark the spot, and a moment of reflection and thanks for his life will be marked.
It is a great honour to be entrusted with such an iconic item and I know it will become a most powerful talisman to hold during the darker moments of the journey ahead. You will hear it referred to during our daily updates.

The first audio update will be posted here on October 17, when the teams arrive in Chile to start their preparations for the race. Subscribe to the Daily Update email alerts here.

In its standard version, the Lexus IS 350C is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that delivers 306 HP, but at the 2011 SEMA Auto Show, VIP Auto Salon is going to show what the convertible is truly capable. Their new tuning package for the IS 350C will push out an additional 80 HP, as well as look exceptional good doing it.
The kit starts off right where we like it: the engine. VIP Auto Salon installed a power enterprise Rotex Supercharger kit by Apexi x VIP Auto Salon and a PTS Joe Z Series header back exhaust system to get a total output of 386 HP. The performance will undoubtedly be improved with this extra power, as well as the custom carbon fiber styling package including a front lip spoiler, side diffusers, rear diffusers, a rear trunk spoiler, eye lines, and a Seibon carbon fiber hood.
The exterior looks exquisite in a cool Chameleon paint by K&W enhanced by a Huper Optik ceramic film by STM. The final touch for the exterior is laid out with a new set of 19" Full-Face forged alloy wheels. The interior is then updated with custom seat inserts by Top Stitch, an F-Sport carbon shift knob, F-Sport floor mats, and an F-Sport carbon fiber engine cover.
All told, the Lexus IS 350C is a convertible we can all see ourselves driving to the beach in.

What Has Science Done for You? Check Out 50 Breakthroughs From America's National Labs
The Office of Laboratory Policy and Evaluation (LPE) develops uniform Office of Science-specific policies related to the management, operation, and overall well-being of the ten Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) national laboratories and ensures their effective and consistent implementation across the SC complex.
SC is responsible for the effective stewardship of Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, commonly known as national laboratories, which are operated under sponsoring agreements with private sector organizations known as management and operating (M&O) contracts. The M&O contract model, which dates back to World War II and the Corps of Engineers' Manhattan Engineer District (MED), was designed to ensure the recruitment of the best people and the successful completion of the mission at hand—to win the War.
Today, the DOE national laboratory system represents the most comprehensive research system of its kind in the world and is responsible for performing research and development for which there is a strong public and national purpose. The M&O contract model, central to the laboratories' operation, is a unique form of contract that is vitally important to the DOE's ability to deliver the world-class research and the innovative technical accomplishments necessary to accomplish its missions. The M&O laboratory system under the DOE and its predecessor agencies has produced hundreds of Nobel Laureates, and the R&D Magazine has listed hundreds of DOE or predecessor agency research projects among its annual top 100.
The Office of Science (SC) is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States.

I like chivalry.
Yes, I admit it. I know I'm not supposed to, but I actually like it when men open doors for me, and take my coat, and do all of those other little things that modern feminism says I should find horrifying and offensive. I know it's supposed me make me feel belittled and patronized, but instead I find it makes me feel special, and feminine, and even protected and somehow treasured.
Is that so wrong?

I get their thinking-that doing little things for women implies that we are incapable of doing them for ourselves. And so, chivalry has been called "benevolent sexism," with those nice men stooping down to assist us helpless little women-folk. If that's what chivalry really was, I'd resent it, too. But that's not how I see it. Sure, I'm perfectly capable of opening my own doors. But I see it as a sign of respect-for me and for women in general-when a man does that for me. It is an acknowledgement of the politically incorrect truth that men in general are physically stronger than women. By putting that strength at the service of women, a man is signaling that he respects her, and that he has no intention of using it against her. I have been, I hate to admit, afraid that chivalry is indeed dead-or at least slowly dying. I still see it here are there, mostly among older gentlemen and the younger ones ...

Survivor STORY
As I left in January, I don't know what day, if it was the 17th. I went to England, and went as a so-called maid, I was an au pair, but I was a maid, completely a maid. And it was with some Jewish people who were real awful. They took advantage of me. And relatives from Switzerland were supposed to send me an allowance and they pocketed the allowance. And I had to work and take care of two children. It was in the north of London, and then the war broke out and the woman went to do something, defense work, and I had the whole household, by the way, a kosher household. That's the first time I had a kosher household. But I managed fine. And then in December, beginning of December, I was getting my American visa. So the woman, told her I was going to leave, I had my American visa, and she threw a book at me.Coming to America
And we had a very stormy trip to the States. First of all, we had to go zig-zag and blacked out, and you know, and we finally arrived in NY on January 4th, 1940. And I couldn't get off the ship for the simple reason there was a law at that time, which came from, was based on the Irish immigrants that no female under twenty-one could immigrate unless met by relative because there was that law. So, we got finally hold of my uncle, there was a woman from Council and he came to pick me up just before they were going to ship me to Ellis Island, so I never went to Ellis Island. And that's how I arrived.Jewish Community
I tell you, it started off actually in Germany, because my mother was active in what was called, at that time, the [name in German]. I mean it was part, it was a part sisterhood, part, but it was affiliated with Council. And they had contact, and the address I had was the Council of Jewish Women's address in New York. That I had with me, and that's where the woman met me at the ship, that I didn't go to Ellis Island. And when I came to Atlanta, you know like Gia Spielberg's mother, Lilo. We were active in it because, through the Tuesday night club, and we just worked ourselves up in the organization. And, I mean, of course, the part I did was a service to foreign born. And the first thing after the war were the Hungarian Jews who came over. And I know I helped them with their, you know, to become, the citizen papers and you know, the tests they have to take, and I did that for years.

Which of the following new college students has the best shot at success? "I read ahead in all my books and told my friends I couldn't go out," says Tanika, a college freshman. "It's only been a week, and I'm already tired, but this is collegeisn't that what it's supposed to be like? After all, I have to keep my GPA up if I'm going to get into the education program."
"I'd heard the profs take it easy the first week," says her friend Jodi. "So I'm not that bummed that I slept through most of my early-morning classes. And who knew books cost so much? I haven't even bought half of them yet."
If you guessed that Tanika has the best shot at success, you're right
but only to a point.
Let's face it: Adjusting to college classes can be difficult. You'll have to get used to different workloads and teaching styles from the ones you remember from high school. If you're like Tanika, you'll probably start off working extra hard right awayand risk burning out. Or, if you're like Jodi, you may start college a little too laid backand risk falling far behind. The truth is this: In order to do well and still have free time for friends, you'll need to find a balance between these two approaches. Here are a few tips to help you find a good balance.
Jodi's right about something: College classes start slow. The first week is usually light on course content. Your profs won't ask you to explain the secrets of the DNA double helix or to analyze Paradise Lost.
Tanika doesn't need to read ahead in all her textbooks at this point. She's working too hard, too soon. At crunch timewhen exams are given or large projects are dueshe may be too exhausted to make the extra effort that will lead to the grades she wants.
But it's still crucial that you buy your books, do the required work, and attend class even during the first week, because you'll learn how the course is structured and what type of work you'll need to do.
One huge difference between high school and college is time management. College professors rarely coordinate testing and due dates to balance out your workload, so it's likely that many of your major assignments will hit within the same couple of weeks. Certain periodsthe weeks before breaks, midterms and right before finalsare sure to hold some all-nighters.
Your best defense is to be prepared. Each instructor will pass out a syllabus detailing due dates for tests and papers. Listen to the expanded descriptions given in class and note all the deadlines in your new planner. That will give you a visual view of when you really need to tell your friends you can't go out, or the best times to schedule a trip home.
Often, you'll have choices about when to sign up for presentations or complete special projects. If you've written your exams and other due dates into your planner, you can see which weeks you'll have time to do extra assignments.
Make a point to meet your professors during the first week of class. Ask for more details about an assignment or a topic you're covering in a course. Doing so demonstrates initiative, and professors like that. It also shows that you care about your work. In a sea of students, the ones who make an effort to speak up always stand out.
If you've spoken to your instructor a few times and you know when office hours are, it'll be a lot easier to come for help if you have a problem in the course. If you need to ask your professor for special help later in the semester, he or she will know that you're a serious studentnot just someone looking for an easy grade. And be sure to make a note of your instructor's contact information. This way you can easily contact your prof when you have to miss class. This is both professional and courteous. And since you're studying to one day be a professional in the workplace, now is a great time to get in the habit of practicing these kinds of professional courtesies.
Most college classes involve some kind of group work, so you'll want to get to know your classmates right away. Often you're allowed some say in which students you want to work with, so start identifying like-minded friends. You wouldn't, for example, want to work in a group with a student who misses a lot of classes or doesn't seem that interested in the course topic.
Exchange phone numbers and e-mail addresses so that if you do miss class, you can find out what assignments you missed and get copies of the notes.
Finally, pack plenty of rest, relaxation and fun into your schedule. Make sure you're eating well and making time for exercise, downtime with your new friends, and time with God.
Although classroom success is of course an important part of the college experience, it's not the only part! With careful planning and a balanced lifestyle, you can make the most of this great new experience.
With studies, relationships, ministries, finances, commitments and ever-present change, college can at times be a stressful place. But the tough times will pass a lot easierand could possibly be avoidedif you remember these six things:
1) You're not alone. You're going to have days when you're at the end of your rope and nobody seems to notice. But God wasn't kidding when he said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5, NIV). The best antidote for your loneliness could be taking some time to rediscover the friend who never left your side. The encouragement of earthly pals is also a plus: "If one falls down, his friend can help him up" (Ecclesiastes 4:10, NIV). Let friends know what you're feeling. You're not the only one who has these timesand while sometimes it will be your turn to be picked up, other times you will do the picking up. Also: If you're overwhelmed and feel alone, you may want to visit the campus counseling center. Counselors are there to help you talk and feel heard.
2) You can't do it all. People often ask: How can I be involved in all the awesome activities Christian colleges offer without burning out? The answer: You can't. No one can do everythingor even everything they want to doin one semester. Instead, prioritize what you most want to do in college and plan to spread those activities out over your entire college career. This will mean learning to say no to some great options. This will mean being patient. You should also consider trying out an activity before making a long-term commitment.
3) You don't have to be perfect. As a human being, you're bound to fall short now and then. Sometimes, you'll miss an appointment, let down a friend, or have to settle for a C. But it's not the end of the world. As the psalmist wrote in Psalm 73:26: "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (NIV). Just try your best, and remember that God will always back you up.
4) You do need rest. You might think staying up an extra hour or cramming in just one more class will help you accomplish your goals, but you could be stretching yourself way too thin. Your body wasn't made for that kind of punishment, and it's going to fight back with headaches, tired eyes, crabbiness and frazzled nervesor worse. As Solomon chides: "In vain you rise early and stay up late
for he grants sleep to those he loves" (Psalm 127:2, NIV). In addition, you also have to concentrate on balance in every aspect of your new college life: in eating, sleeping, and in making sure you have a good share of both alone time and social time.
5) You've got the power. When you don't know how you'll make it to tomorrow, God's just getting warmed up. Paul once prayed for an easier life, and this was God's response: "'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'" (2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV). And even when you can't imagine why God would let you sink so low, don't ever underestimate his ability to pick you up and carry you through.
6) You need God's guidance. Ask God to guide you as you choose your activities. It's easy to be self-centered when it comes to what we want to do. Prayer helps us turn our attention toward God and his will for us, which will bring lastingand rewardingbenefits.

17-month-old Maggie Selmeski is a little girl, with a big problem -- she had her first major seizure when she was just six weeks old.
"She was convulsing," her mother, Rachael Selmeski, said. "All her limbs were convulsing."
Doctors can't figure out what's wrong with Maggie, but they have diagnosed her main symptom: infantile spasms. She's tried four anti-seizure medications, but nothing has worked for her. So now, her parents have come to their last resort.
"We are in the process of moving to Colorado to gain access to medical marijuana," she said.
Maggie has more than 500 seizures every a day. They're tough to spot, but devastating to her development. She's 17 months old, but has the brain and motor development of a three-month-old infant. She can't even hold her head up.
Her parents felt helpless, but then, they saw a CNN documentary about marijuana, called "Weed."
In it, they saw kids just like Maggie, their seizures significantly reduced by medical marijuana.
"It just was like a light bulb," Selmeski said. "We're like, 'yep, this is what we've got to do.'"
The drug Maggie will receive is low in THC, the chemical that gives recreational users the trademark high.
"So she won't be getting high, she won't be smoking it," Selmeski said. "It'll just be an oil. I'll give it to her just like I do any of her other supplements or medications."
Her parents hope that the treatment will reduce her seizures, and unlock the girl they know is trapped inside.
"We're so excited to just meet Maggie, and have her little personality come out and shine," Selmeski said.
Because right now, despite the social stigma, medical marijuana could be Maggie's last chance.
"Seeing her not be able to interact, watching other kids play, and not have your daughter be able to play ... if you start to experience that, then you might realize that there are other options out there," Selmeski said. "You would try anything for your child to give her a better life."
Maggie is on a waiting list in Colorado, and should start the treatment in mid-November.
Her mother said she hopes marijuana laws change, because once Maggie starts the treatment, they'll be stuck in Colorado, far from their family here in the Midwest.Find out more about Maggie here.

I'm looking for 1 more party to split my season tickets for the upcoming 2014-2015 Season. I have 2 seats (together) located in CENTER ICE section 318, Row 7 (which is actually the FRONT row in the section). Each person would get 10 games! I'll be selling these at my season ticket holder cost. I will NOT mark up the tickets to make a profit. We will have a draft to pick our games once the schedule is released for the 2014-2015 season. Drafting games is a lot of fun! This is a great (affordable) way to get 10 games at full season pricing, sit front row every game, no hidden processing fees and save money seeing your LA Kings!
Sitting in the front row has it's perks, ie. no one sits in front of you to block your view, additional leg room and best of all, you are sitting right behind Bob Miller & Jim Fox and Nick Nickson & Daryl Evans broadcast booths. Lots of opportunities for autographs and such. See photos below from the seats:
From some other seats. Yuck!:
If interested, please send me an email to email@example.com and I'll be happy to provide you with pricing and additional information. Thanks for looking and GO KINGS GO!

Uh... no. Droid is NOT better than the iPhone, for the record. Has a wonderful screen and a few other niceties but on the performance side it lacks a bit, even compared to other "android" phones. Read the reviews by folks actually using them. I've had one for 3 weeks to compare to. It is a nice phone but not quite the "iPhone killer" just yet.
AND a comparable (apples to Apples) service plan from Verizon is a tad more than ATT. Check your facts.
I hope somebody from ATT read this thread, so they can figure it out that if they still greedy like they are, instead to earn more money they are going to lose a lot of clients.
*****! in a month my data usage is average from 60 MB to 75 MB. This is only from email, facebook, etc. I don't even use my iphone for tethering. If the cap is only 5 MB/month, then I'm screwed.
I meant 5GB, you're safe. I've been tethering for a while now, visiting media intense sites and I've peaked at around 2 GB of data useage. Haven't been penalized or warned or otherwise. Of course, I also wouldn't think of using my iPhone to d/l torrents or extended online gaming either. Anyways...
If they do this they will be put out of business by all the lawsuits.
They will be out of business but by their clients. Telling the truth, we all know that some of us just went to a contract with ATT because we want the iPhone and some of us can't pay $400 or $500 for an iphone without contract, we got now the iPhone already, all we got to do now is cancel the contract, unlock our iPhones and welcome T-mobile. T-mobile are going to be the one that's going to be earning that money that ATT want.
If AT&T had a better infrastructure, and focused less on being 'fast' and more on being reliable and hardy, then they wouldn't have these problems. It also doesn't help that the iPhone is exclusive to AT&T, therefore all the millions of people have have them are all hogging data. Another plus for Apple to end this ridiculous exclusivity contract and open up to other carriers in the U.S. People would have such a better experience with the iPhone no matter what network if it wasn't so clogged up.
Find ANY other network that offer "unlimited" data they way you "think" unlimited data should be. Start with Verizon, check their rates AND bandwidth useage. Check their texting offering too.
oh my i pump about 6+GB of 3G data mostly every month..yup now you know what i do at work..but if they start to charge im ditching AT&Terrible time for a HTC android i like the 3G here in my area but if they keep getting money hungry its time to stop feeding them my money
To those of you saying that the people that download BitTorrent and are streaming music and video on the 3G Network are "ruining" it for everyone else I tell you this: Get over it.
I pay 30 dollars a month, on top of my service plan, on top of the ridiculous 15 extra bucks for unlimited texting, and I pay those 30 bucks to have UNLIMITED DATA. Not "Some Data" or "An Adequate Amount of Data" but UNLIMITED DATA. If AT&T wasn't able to support a data-intensive handset such as the iPhone and wasn't ready to provide that service then they shouldn't have SOLD THE PHONE TO BEGIN WITH! So yeah, I don't give a flying **** about how much data I'm "consuming"... It is my right, and anyone's right to use this data as long as they are paying for it.
AT&T needs to start using some of the CRAZY MONEY THEY'VE MADE selling the world's most popular phone, invest it on their INFRASTRUCTURE and leave us paying customers ALONE.
All carrier's have a cap on their "unlimited" data. Yet when at&t does it they are the bad guys.
And I'm sure that those of you pulling 5GB + and complaining about that not being enough, are also complaining on other threads about the horrible battery life. Its a iPHONE not iCOMPUTER. Its not intended to be downloading torrents, but casually surfing the web. I welcome it. And as for the complaints of the $30 dollar price tag.. name a SMARTPHONE that has "unlimited" data for a lot less. It may be out there but I have never had it. Blackberry = $30 iPhone = $30 Android = $25
If they change your T&C you should have the right to cancel. Has anyone checked the fine print to make sure there is no ' Fair usage' or 'not to the detriment of other users' clause?
UK data plans usually specifically exclude things like VOIP, tethering and streaming data and typically have a cap of 1Gb or less.
My plan costs me about $33/month - but that does include tethering/streaming/3Gb Data and more minutes/texts/MMS than I can use in a month.
Using over a couple of Gb without tethering - which I believe is specifically prohibited by AT&T is quite difficult.
I wonder how many of the people complaining actually get anywhere near the rumoured 5Gb cap? And of those that do, how many don't tether?
While I do tether, I do so almost exclusively for school work (university). I'm a truck driver and manage roughly 4-5GB usage per month, but mostly due to iHeartRadio which I listen to 4-5 hrs per day. So it is feasible to use more than 5GB of data with legitimate iPhone apps.
So glad I pay only $5.99 a month for my data service I could care less if I don't get to use 3G, the Edge with T-Mobile works really good. Navigon keeps up to speed as I drive around, so that's helpful. Too bad AT&T has to put a cap on their "unlimited" data plan which costs an arm and a leg. Come hop on the T-Mobile bus, there's plenty of room!!
Oh and lets not forget tethering which i enjoy soooo much! ^^ Comes in so handy while i'm at school.
Blah blah. For the record, Blackberry plans for T-Mo are $40 per month. Internet Connect ONLY with 200MB of cap are $30 per month AND their "unlimited" data plans with 5GB cap are $50 per month. You'd figure Tmo users know their rates. Look it up!

maybe it's just me, but I linked to the article and don't see any mention of "Penalties" as this title and article suggests. Infact, even CNET posted a correction saying "Correction made December 9 at 7:51 p.m. PDT: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that AT&T had announced a tiered pricing plan. The company is considering incentives to curb heavy wireless data usage."
So this article is incorrectly stating ATT is making plans to charge people more as well. The REAL article has only stated that they want to offer incentives to reduce bandwidth, no caps, no extra charges...just some tools to monitor your bandwidth. This whole thread is fail.

J.C. Penney will fire 2,000 people and close 33 underperforming stores as part of a revamped turnaround plan it hopes will stem ballooning losses.
The struggling department-store chain said late Wednesday the move will generate annual savings of roughly $65 million beginning in 2014. Penney expects to incur charges of $26 million in the fourth quarter and $17 million in future periods related to severance and closure expenses.
"As we continue to progress toward long-term profitable growth, it is necessary to re-examine the financial performance of our store portfolio and adjust our national footprint accordingly," Penney CEO Mike Ullman said in a statement.
Shares of the retailer fell more than 2.5% to $6.83 in after-hours trade following the announcement. They have fallen more than 62% over the last 12 months.
The move comes nearly two months after the company reported a much deeper third-quarter loss on weaker-than-expected sales.
Penney says the remaining inventory in those stores will be sold over the next several months, with final closing anticipated by early May. It still plans to open a new store later this year in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Processed by: Jennifer McElroy;machine-readable finding aid created by: Jennifer McElroy
Scope and Content Note
The Earley W. Bridges Papers are comprised of photocopies of newspaper clippings, periodicals, a pamphlet, and reports. These materials relate generally to Masonic activities or organizations, with the majority focusing on the Greensboro Masonic Museum and the Masonic Fellowship Club of Greensboro, North Carolina. Also included in the collection are photocopies of poems written by Mr. Bridges between 1917 and 1918 while he was stationed at Camp Sevier in Greenville, South Carolina. The papers date from 1917 to 1967.
Biographical Note
Earley Winfred Bridges was born on August 18, 1894 in Franklin County, North Carolina. The son of John Joseph and Ida Lorena Carroll Bridges, he had twelve siblings, including William Stanley Bridges, a member of North Carolina State University's mechanical engineering faculty for forty-two years, and Henry L. Bridges, who was North Carolina State Auditor from 1947 until 1981. The Bridges family moved to Wakefield, North Carolina, in 1909 and Earley worked on the dairy and truck farm his father helped operate.
In the spring of 1917, Bridges enlisted as a private in Company B of the 3rd North Carolina Regiment of the National Guard. His company was called up for active duty and he trained in Raleigh before heading to Camp Sevier in Greenville, South Carolina. Bridges sailed to France in May 1918 and began serving in the front-line trenches. On September 29, 1918, during the offensive which broke the Hindenburg line, Bridges was wounded. Several months later, the wounds on his right leg necessitated amputation. For his service and injuries in the first World War, Bridges earned four medals: the Purple Heart, a Victory medal, the North Carolina medal, and the Daughters of the Confederacy's Cross of Military Service.
Bridges was discharged from the army in November 1919 and enrolled in North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (later North Carolina State University) the next month. He received a B.S. in Business Administration in 1924, and did graduate work from September 1924 until June 1925. Bridges then worked as a high school teacher in Florida for one school year before moving to Greensboro, North Carolina, where he was employed by the Dixie Fire Insurance Company as a bookkeeper until 1930. He married Emily Lena Smith on August 4, 1928.
Throughout his life, Bridges was extremely active in the Masons. He was initiated into the Greensboro Lodge #76 in 1930 and held several offices in the Lodge, including Master and Treasurer. Bridges had a particular interest in Masonic history and, after the creation of the Greensboro Masonic Museum in 1932, he was elected its first curator and librarian. In 1933 he was also elected to the position of lodge historian. Bridges also wrote a number of books and pamphlets about freemasonry and elements of Masonic history. Among the titles are The Masonic Governors of North Carolina and Tokens: A Composite And Critical Study of a Great and Important Masonic Subject . He also produced the histories of several chapters or lodges, including: Greensboro Lodge No. 76, Chorizon Chapter No. 13, Ivanhoe Commandery No. 8, and Tabasco Lodge No. 271. Bridges received the Joseph Montfort Medal for Distinguished Masonic service in 1966.
Earley W. Bridges died on Oct. 17, 1974.

Stars mourn Whitney Houston at rousing New Jersey funeral
NEWARK, New Jersey
NEWARK, New Jersey (Reuters) - Stars, family and friends mourned Whitney Houston in a spirited Baptist funeral service at her hometown church on Saturday, a week after the death of the singer whose spectacular voice made her one of the biggest pop stars of her era.
Gospel and soul music greats, celebrities and family members swayed to gospel hits and delivered tributes both sung and spoken to the crowded New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where Houston honed her wide vocal range as a young choral singer with her mother Cissy Houston, a backup singer for Aretha Franklin.
"Whitney returns home today to the place where it all began," said actor Kevin Costner, who starred opposite Houston in the 1992 hit film, "The Bodyguard."
He urged those around the world to "dry our tears, suspend our sorrow - and perhaps our anger - just long enough, just long enough to remember the sweet miracle of Whitney."
Houston, who died in a Beverly Hills hotel room last week, recorded stirring love songs and vibrant dance tunes during a 30-year career that peaked with her 1992 signature hit "I Will Always Love You" and paved the way for a generation of singers that followed.
She was among the greatest singers of the 1980s and 1990s, but later admitted to heavy use of cocaine, marijuana, alcohol and prescription pills. Officials have said prescription drugs were found in the hotel room where she died.
Her death at age 48 shocked her family, fans and the music industry. Houston was found underwater in a hotel bathtub on the eve of the music industry's Grammy Awards. Her cause of death has yet to be determined.
She suffered a turbulent personal life and marriage to singer Bobby Brown, who said in a statement he left the service early after being repeatedly asked to move by security, who prevented him from seeing the daughter he shared with Houston, Bobby Kristina Brown, 18.
"This was a day to honor Whitney," Brown said. "I doubt whether Whitney would have wanted this to occur."
During the service, her cousin and famed soul singer Dionne Warwick read out a funeral poem and introduced music greats from the past and present, including Alicia Keys who said "it was so obvious the way she just crept into everybody's heart" before singing an emotional rendition of "Prelude to a Kiss."
Singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder spoke of once having "a little crush" on Houston before singing a version of his 1982 R&B hit "Ribbon In The Sky," inserting the lyrics "No more, Whitney, No more, Do you have to cry - You'll always be a ribbon in the sky."
Others spoke eloquently of Houston's passion, strong-willed spirit and once hopeful future, including Clive Davis, the founder of her label Arista Records, who discovered and molded Houston into a global pop phenomenon. He said shortly before she died, Houston had promised she was getting back into shape.
"You wait for a voice like that for a lifetime. You wait for a face like that, a smile like that, a presence like that, for a lifetime. And when one person embodies it all it takes your breath away," he said. "Music was her passion. Whitney lived music. Whitney loved music."
R. Kelly performed the 2009 song he wrote for Houston, "I Look To You," and director Tyler Perry talked about Houston's "grace that led her all the way to the top of the charts." The service was dominated by gospel music, by singers Kim Burrell, Donnie McClurkin and others.
Houston's family decided against a public memorial, as was done for pop star Michael Jackson after his 2009 death, but they agreed to allow the four-hour service to be broadcast live by television networks and on the Internet.
Many of Houston's fans left cards and balloons around the church dedicated to the singer, who became a global star with her 1985 debut album, which included the hits "Saving All My Love For You," "How Will I Know" and "Greatest Love Of All."
Police urged fans to stay home and watch the funeral on the Internet or television, but some flew and drove from around the country to get as close as they could to the late singer.
"This is history," said fan Hedwig Berthold, 40, who flew from Miami and watched the broadcast with dozens of others in a nearby cafe. "I bought her records, I saw her concerts, I saw her in the good times. So I wanted to be here for her final farewell."
Others gathered on the streets, including Wendy Saunders, who drove from Detroit to pay her respects to Houston and said "She meant so much to me," while Renee Taylor, from Baltimore, held a sign, "You gave us more love than we will ever need."
Houston grew up surrounded by gospel and soul music legends like Franklin - who fell ill and was unable to attend the service - as well as Warwick. She later forged new territory for a black female artist who brought R&B and gospel touches into pop music's mainstream.
After her debut, her popularity grew exponentially with her second album, "Whitney" (1987), with all four singles - "Didn't We Almost Have It All," "So Emotional," "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" - hitting No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Her music videos featuring her 1980s style and innocent, fun-loving image made her wildly popular around the world. In "The Bodyguard," with Costner, Houston played a character not far removed from her real self: an international singing sensation coping with fame.
Costner recalled during his speech that Hollywood executives were hesitant to cast Houston in her first starring role, preferring "somebody white," but she soon won everyone over. He also spoke of Houston's immense talent - and insecurities.
"The Whitney that I knew, despite her worldwide success and fame, still wondered, 'Am I good enough, Am I pretty enough, Will they like me?' It was the burden that made her great, and the part that caused her to stumble in the end," he said. "People didn't just like you, Whitney. They loved you."
She made other films, including "The Preacher's Wife," but the 15-year period when she was married to singer Brown coincided with a decline in the quality and frequency of her albums. The couple, who have an 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, divorced in 2007.
Houston's powerful voice suffered in recent years. On her last world tour in 2010, she struggled to hit the high notes.
But the service ended by focusing on the old, soaring voice she had promised to reclaim. Her inimitable "I Will Always Love You," rang out as the casket was carried out of the church.

Anna Nicole Cmith, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Heath Ledger, Don Cornelius, and so many others, "accidental overdose"? Pill bottles strewn all over the room. Michael Jackson's so-called medicqal examiner's report noting pills in his stomach was fraudulent. The medical examiners office breached and the report was changed. Ann Nicole had pneumonia and was septic. Death from sepsis was probable but lets blame it on drugs. Lets have the Judge overseeing the coroner's inquest also state publically that he wants to be a celebrity too. What the frack?
Michael Jackson – nothing to say. The multiple attempts to destroy him only to find that when he announces "This is It" that his fans are crying for joy.
And now Whitney Houston. I lived about twenty minutes from the home she had with Bobby Brown. All the fights, and everything were covered in the papers. Bobby Brown, took Whitney Houston Hostage and would not release her. Talk about the power of evil. She had a voice like no other. She was the only person that could sing Michael Jackson's "You Wanna Be Starting Something" outside of Michael. And, that song, it's my favorite. Check out those lyrics. Man.. they say it all.
Heath Ledger. What an actor! His portrayal of "The Joker" was perhaps a bit too good? Perhaps revealed too much about "Batman"? Thing is, he was an actor. Not a threat.
Many have died under suspicious circumstances. Only to turn into "suicide" which became passee when "accidental overdose" and "drug addict" and all of the put downs and condemnations that go with it guarantee ratings, sell papers, and hits on web pages. Whooee.. lets hear it for advertising.
Whitney Houston's funeral .. covered for ratings and advertising dollars. Chris Christie, I am not sure he followed protocol when lowering the flag half staff. Critics.. and such. Go back to protocol. It's in writing. Besides..the fact that governor did this was a slap in the faces of Whitney Houston and her family. A Jersey Girl? Too bad New Jersey turned their backs on their girl.. a very lond time ago.
I did not watch the funeral. And, as far as her cause of death? I'll wait for the autoposy results. And, if nothing else, this is what Whitney Houston's death taught me. Enough with all the junk. Wait for the medical facts. And, what happened? All the junk and clutter in my brain went away. Leave things up to the medical experts. We, including myself are NOT.
I would like to just add this about Jennifer Hudson. She does step up to sing. For Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. She is amazing she really is. She steps up for a reason. Don't forget, several members of her family were killed, while she was competing on American Idol. I believe she steps up for them and reasons not of this world. I have the utmost respect for her while at the same time offer prayers for the Almighty presence in the Infinite Universe to Potect her and give her Stregnth.

A quick glance at the first picture of this post might make you believe you've traveled back in time to 1985! Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) for you this is actually the studio space for Sawdust. Rob Gonzalez and Jonathan Quainton are the two puzzle pieces that form the London based firm Sawdust and while it is small in size that doesn't mean they don't produce big time work. Taking a peek at their portfolio you will find tremendous skill that is more often than brilliantly minimalistic. My favorite aspect of Sawdust's space is the poster that says, "Life. Wake Work Home Eat Sleep" which pretty much speaks for itself.
Notable Project
Sawdust was asked to do the branding and website for Hi Pitch who creates award winning music and sound design for film, television, advertising and new media. While we were unable to secure any pictures from the brand we do recommend you check out the absolutely brilliant website and brand they have created here.

Ever since man first cultivated plants and grew crops, insects, mites and other creatures have risen to prominence as pests, but it is only throughout the last two centuries that we have come to study them in any detail. Whereas in the past, emphasis has mainly been placed on ways to protect cultivated plants from attack or damage, nowadays our over-reliance on pesticides has been replaced by a far more enlightened approach to plant protection. Though chemical pesticides still have a role to play, environmental aspects and non-chemical means of pest control have become equally, if not more, important. This requires a greater appreciation of ecosystems, coupled with a greater understanding of individual pests, including their habits and their role in the environment. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, David V. Alford provides a fascinating account of the natural history of the insects and mites that inhabit our farms and gardens, and feed on our cultivated plants. He shows how and why the different operations of cultivation affect their world, and why plant pests should not be viewed as different from other wildlife.Coverage of pests includes aliens, and although emphasis is placed mainly on arable and horticultural field crops, pests of protected crops - both edible and non-edible - are also included. Details of pest life cycles, status, distribution and the damage they cause are given, and natural enemies of pests are examined. The author also explores the impact of pesticides, climate change and evolving crop management practices.

Yup, it's an unstoppable winged mutant beast with magical powers and stuff.
The Lib Tech Birdman FD BTX HP Snowboard was devised in a secret laboratory located under a volcano by Mervin's sleep-deprived mad scientists. It was there that they utilized the volcano's basalt to formulate the T-Bird's explosive pop within the T-Bird; it was on the world's steepest and deepest terrain that the unsinkable FD shaping was put to the test. In the end, they determined that the Birdman was a revolutionary, pow-surfing, unstoppable winged mutant beast with magical powers and stuff.

- Flotation Device powder-specific nose was designed with shovel-like shaping to disperse snow and create a fatigue-reducing floating effect
- All-terrain directional powder shape was custom-engineered for steep-and deep powder slayage, so you stay afloat with minimal effort

I had been after one of these directional powder boards for a while. The Birdman picks up right where the Snow Mullet left off. Super wide nose, set way back.
The board takes some getting used to on hard pack and traverses, but for any rider thats been on a full reverse camber board for a while it will be pretty natural.
So the ride in powder is AMAZING! Best floating surfy feel you can get. When taking large drops into deep snow I found the nose would actually push me back into position instead of just submarining into a cartwheel.
For anyone thats ever ridden the K2 Hellbent, this is the rowdy cousin! it handles everything you can throw at it, its just loose on hard pack.
I would not recommend this for the rider that will buy only one board. Its a total quiver board that is best used on those 8"+ days. It kills it in the powder but not a carver, jibber, or switch riding board.
I'm 6'2" 180lbs and ride the 170cm but would feel just fine on the 180cm. I feel a smaller rider would be happy with this size as well as its so set back it rides short.

Analysis: DoD budget debate about U.S. world role
Monday - 3/12/2012, 7:16pm EDT
Lt. Gen. David Barno, a senior adviser and senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and a retired Army general, was the first commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan.
Barno testified before the Senate Budget Committee last week about the Pentagon's 2013 budget request.
"The current debate that has seized our nation and our political leadership has to do not only with putting Americans back to work, about reducing exploding debt and annual deficits, about entitlements and taxes, about living, as a nation, within our means — but it also fundamentally has to do with where the United States is going to fit in this new world," Barno said.
Barno joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss his Senate testimony and his perspective on the defense budget.

Woodworker's Journal
Cam-lock disks fasten the saw into the base and outer edge of a trolley and guide-rail system, which has been sized to fit any brand of circ saw. Accomplishing this bit of setup means the trolley's outer edge is aligned with your cut-line. Then, since you have the alignment -- for accuracy -- and the attachment -- for safety -- you can cut with confidence, even if you can't see the cutline for the sawdust. You can also stop the saw if you need to walk around to the other side of your panel, then restart it without worrying about binding or kickback.
Crosscutting, ripping long cuts in narrow stick and sizing rough lumber are among the operations you can do with this setup. Attaching the trolley system does mean you lose a miniscule amount of your circular saw's maximum depth of cut: -1/8". On the other hand, the two segment-rail lets you rip up to 96" when you have the segments joined. Individually, each section lets you crosscut up to 48".
