As of Thursday, November 1, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- The end -- of the early voting period -- is near.
The two downtown Albany polling places opened to allow voters in Dougherty County to cast early ballots will close at 5 p.m. today, ending a busy advanced voting period for elections officials and volunteers.
Early voting totals show that 2012 voters have kept a close pace with the record number of early votes cast in 2008. When early voting ceases, it will likely fall short of the 17,918 Dougherty votes that were cast before election day in 2008. All total, 39,042 would go on to vote from Dougherty County in that general election.
As of 3 p.m. Thursday, 13,517 had cast votes in Dougherty County during the early voting period. That translates into roughly a 25 percent voter turnout. Those numbers do not include more than 1,000 absentee voter ballots that have already been mailed.
To vote early, registered voters must bring a photo ID to either the Dougherty County Elections office at 222 Pine Avenue or the Flint River Resource Center at 125 Pine Avenue.
While there are a handful of local races and ballot measures drawing people to the polls, the presidential race is likely the biggest political magnet for voters.
After Hurricane Sandy, President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney reignited their campaigns Thursday with full-throttle closing arguments on the pocketbook concerns that have dominated the campaign from the start.
Obama, Romney, their wives and running mates were blitzing across the country in the busiest day of campaign events yet. The six principals were hitting seven swing states that will help determine on Tuesday which man will occupy the White House for the next four years.
After avoiding criticism of Obama by name for a full day after Superstorm Sandy, Romney aides said Thursday it was game on. That was evident as Romney opened a new criticism of Obama's suggestion that he would create a secretary of business.
"We don't need a secretary of business to understand business, we need a president who understands business, and I do," he said in Roanoke, Va. Romney's crowd seemed as charged as he was, interrupting with frequent whoops of applause and chants of "Five more days!"
Obama also focused on the economy, arguing that Romney is not the agent of change he is trying to portray himself as and asking for four more years to complete his work. His closing argument stump speech is heavy on nostalgia harkening back to his hopeful 2008 campaign and even the days when President Bill Clinton led Americans to better economic times.
"By the end Bill Clinton's second term America had created 23 million new jobs, and incomes were up and poverty was down and our deficit became the biggest surplus in our history," Obama said in Green Bay, Wis. "So Wisconsin, we know the ideas that work."

Hollywood is full of glamour, high fashion and yes, lies. "The Art of Social War," the debut novel from author Jodi Wing, brings these dirty truths to light in the most entertaining way. If you have a trip to the ski lodge (or the Caribbean, for that matter) in your future, then be sure to pack this book as a vacay read. This book provides the perfect brain candy for a long winters night or a poolside respite.
What makes "The Art of Social War" so fun? Is it the designer name dropping? The likeable and relateable heroine, Stacey Makepeace? Or is it the colorful and spot-on depictions vacuous members of the Hollywood elite? I found that the recipe for this great book was the combination of all of these things married with an engaging and easy to read narrative.
So what happens in this book? Well, I won't give it all away, but the premise is a fish-out-of water tale about a couple of newlyweds that get thrown to the sharks. Our main character, Stacey, trades in her like as a New York City PR agent on the top of her game to become a Beverly Hills stay-at-home wife to a movie mogul. The transition is tough (and funny), and the new couple are faced with coyotes (literal and metaphorical) at every angle. Can they survive Tinseltown? Read it to find out!

1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse
Selection of Primary Sampling Units
The segments that formed the 43 certainty
PSUs were partitioned into five strata:
Prior to the formation of the final strata, an optimal allocation procedure was used to allocate the sample to the six strata listed above. The results of the allocation suggested that total survey costs would be minimized for fixed precision when Hispanics were oversampled in the national study strata in which they were concentrated. Once sufficient screening interviews were conducted to identify the required number of Hispanic dwellings, more than enough black and white dwellings would be identified so that these interviews could be proportionally allocated to strata in the national study. For the Arizona/California supplement, there was no oversampling of Hispanics because each State's Hispanic allocation in the national study component was large enough to satisfy State-level precision requirements. Consequently, the three racial/ethnic groups were sampled in the supplement so that the combined national study and supplemental samples would result in a proportionally allocated sample.
The 43 certainty PSUs for the national study contained about 80% of the Hispanic population in the United States, according to the 1990 Census. They also contained approximately 50% of the blacks and about 40% of the whites in the United States. The segments of Stratum 1 had about 81% Hispanic dwellings on average and contained about 24% of the U.S. Hispanic population. The segments of Stratum 2 had about 32% Hispanic dwelling units and contained about 35% of the U.S. Hispanic population. The segments of Stratum 3 had about 5% Hispanic dwelling units and contained about 18% of the U.S. Hispanic population.
The remaining 72 noncertainty PSUs for the national study were selected from Stratum 6. The noncertainty PSUs, single counties with one exception, were selected with probability proportional to a composite size measure. The composite size measure was defined as the sum of racial/ethnic group dwelling counts weighted by the specified racial/ethnic sampling rates. This selection scheme allowed for targeting particular racial/ethnic subpopulation sample sizes. Chromy's (1979) probability minimum replacement sequential sampling scheme was used to select these 72 PSUs with probabilities proportional to their composite size measures. The use of a composite size measure ensured (a) roughly equal sample sizes per sample subarea (the second-stage unit of selection) and (b) roughly equal probabilities of selecting eligible individuals (the fifth-or final-stage unit of selection) within race/ethnicity, and age group.
A State-supplementary sample large enough to provide reliable estimates for Arizona and California was selected to participate in quarters 2 through 4 of the 1997 NHSDA. The certainty PSUs included in the supplement also were included in the national study. This supplement consisted of no additional certainty PSUs because a representative certainty-SU sample from both States was already participating in the national study.
The same first-stage sampling frame used for the noncertainty national sample also was the basis for selecting an independent supplement of 14 PSUs from Arizona and 4 PSUs from California. Because the noncertainty counties in Arizona were large geographically relative to population density, the counties representing the residual outside the certainty counties in Arizona were subdivided into smaller areas (Census tracts). Groups of these tracts satisfying a minimum population size requirement were defined as PSUs so that data collection would be more manageable. For the noncertainty California SU sample, no subdivision of counties was necessary; hence, each noncertainty-county comprised a single SU.
33 In the interest of readability for this report, "white" is used to indicate "white, non-Hispanic," and "black" to indicate "black, non-Hispanic."

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Jan. 14 (HealthDay News) -- It's not because they want
to appear tough or self-reliant that black men delay going to the
doctor; it's because they don't trust the health-care system,
researchers at the University of North Carolina report.
They surveyed 610 black men, aged 20 and older, in different
regions of the nation. They found that men with a stronger belief
in traditional masculine roles were 23 percent less likely to delay
getting their blood pressure checked and 38 percent less likely to
delay getting their cholesterol checked than men with a weaker
belief in traditional masculinity.
But men who said they were highly mistrustful of the medical
system were more than twice as likely to delay routine check-ups
and cholesterol screenings and three times more likely to delay
having their blood pressure checked than men who were more
trusting, said the researchers at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill.
"What we found is that mistrust of the medical system accounts for delays in using health care, especially among older African-American men," study author Wizdom Powell Hammond, an assistant professor of health behavior and health education at UNC, said in a university news release.
"The survey results indicated that African-American men consider preventive medical services, like getting their blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked, as a demonstration of masculinity, rather than a denial of it," Hammond added.
The study was published in the December issue of the
Journal of General Internal Medicine.
"To improve the health of African-American men, we should consider addressing why they lack trust in the health-care system and its providers," Hammond said.
"Health-care providers and public health professionals also might consider leveraging traditional masculine self-reliance in interventions and clinical encounters as a way to empower African-American men to 'seize control' of their health. This gendered, patient-centered approach could shift power balances, perhaps inspiring greater health-care system trust among African-American men."

Performance Evaluation Process
In an effort to bring about more meaningful opportunities for students to reflect upon their Co-operative education experience Northeastern has all employers evaluate the students. It is a wonderful learning tool that helps the students see what they need to improve and work upon.
We ask supervisors of Co-op students to fill out an evaluation on-line (in our database - we will contact you with a supervisor confirmation - usually about one month in.. and then send you login information, etc.).
We have "hard-copy forms" if you prefer (over the on-line form)- you can then choose to have the student deliver the signed copy, or you can email it to me instead. (These forms are not as up to date as the on-line questionnaire. But I can accept them if it is easier for the employer.)
Some employers also use this form to set goals prior to the co-op and/or to do a mid-term evaluation if they choose to do so.

Rick Warren endorses Prop 8 Calif. marriage amendment

What is the first book in the Bible?
* = Required Fields
LAKE FOREST, Calif. (BP)--Pastor Rick Warren has publicly endorsed a proposed California constitutional marriage amendment, giving supporters a boost in what is expected to be a close vote Nov. 4.
The pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. -- who hosted a presidential forum with both major candidates in August -- made the endorsement of Proposition 8 in an Oct. 23 e-mail to church members. His statement comes as ProtectMarriage.com, the main organization supporting Prop 8, tries to raise enough money to purchase additional television ads and fight off a well-funded final push by opponents.
If passed, Prop 8 will overturn the May decision by the state high court that legalized "gay marriage."
"For 5,000 years, EVERY culture and EVERY religion -- not just Christianity -- has defined marriage as a contract between men and women," Warren wrote. "There is no reason to change the universal, historical definition of marriage to appease 2% of our population. This is one issue that both Democrats and Republicans can agree on. Both Barack Obama and John McCain have publicly opposed the redefinition of marriage to include so-called 'gay marriage.' Even some gay leaders, like Al Rantel of KABC oppose watering down the definition of marriage.
"Of course, my longtime opposition is well known. This is not a political issue, it is a moral issue that God has spoken clearly about. There is no doubt where we should stand on this issue."
Warren concluded: "This will be a close contest, maybe even decided by a few thousand votes. I urge you to VOTE YES on Proposition 8 -- to preserve the biblical definition of marriage. Don't forget to vote!"
The next eight days could very well determine whether Prop 8 passes. Through Thursday, opponents of Prop 8 had outraised supporters by a margin of 5 to 1 this month in donations of $1,000 or more, and that money has gone mostly to fund notoriously expensive television advertising in the state. The most recent big-name donor was Apple, the computer company, which said Friday it was donating $100,000 to Prop 8 opponents.
Frank Schubert, campaign manager for ProtectMarriage.com, wrote in an e-mail to in-state and out-of-state supporters Friday that Prop 8 opponents outspent supporters by $1.9 million on TV ads during the week and "will outspend us in advertising [this] week by another $2 million."
There is, though, some good fundraising news for Prop 8 supporters. Schubert said in the e-mail that $1 million of a $3 million emergency goal had been raised as of Friday. Additionally, a donor had agreed to match, dollar for dollar, each donation made to ProtectMarriage.com "up to a total of $1 million."
ProtectMarriage.com's own internal polling now shows the race in a dead heat, Schubert said, after leading in internal polling a week earlier.
ProtectMarriage.com also has released a new ad, meant to counter one by opponents that had claimed public schools would not be required to teach about "gay marriage" if it remained legal. The ad shows students on the steps of the San Francisco city hall, celebrating their lesbian teacher's "gay wedding" as part of a mid-day field trip. The ad quotes a school official who called it a "teachable moment." The ad ends by citing data from the California Department of Education's website showing that 96 percent of the state's schools districts teach sex-education, which, according to state law, requires schools to "teach respect for marriage and committed relationships."
"Children will be taught about gay marriage unless we vote yes on Proposition 8," the ad's narrator concludes.
Schubert said funding is needed to put the ad on air.
"As strong as this new ad is ... it won't be able to reverse our downward trend in the polls if voters only see it once for every two times that they see ads from our opponents," he wrote. "The future of traditional marriage remains in grave, grave danger."
Schubert, other pro-family leaders and supporters of Prop 8 are scheduled to gather on the west steps of the state capitol Tuesday for a "rescue marriage rally." It is set to begin at 11:40 a.m. Pacific.
Messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in June passed a resolution urging Southern Baptists in California to work and vote for the amendment there and for all Southern Baptists and other Christians to pray for its passage. The resolution passed nearly unanimously. Additionally, in September the executive board of the California Southern Baptist Convention unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the amendment.

Safariland announced today the recent sale of Safariland®/Kona 29er patrol bikes to replace a Los Angeles area law enforcement agency's current fleet of patrol bikes. After much consideration and the opportunity to test the 29er bike, the agency selected the Safariland/Kona 29er as the most suitable patrol bike for their rigorous daily operational needs.
Safariland® Patrol Bikes announced the addition of three new patrol bike light combinations for its Safariland/Kona® Patrol Bike line through its new partnership with NiteRider, an industry-leading light manufacturer. The three new light systems are the NiteRider Patrol Light and Siren, the NiteRider Lumina and Mako Systems. All three packages offer a powerful high-performance light and are quick and easy to install.
Safariland® salutes Project 999 Memorial Ride participants for cycling 630 miles from the California State Peace Officer Memorial in Sacramento to the Peace Officer Memorial in Tustin, CA on May 24 – 28. Project 999, a non-profit fundraiser supervised by the Orange County Sheriff's Department (CA), provides financial support to the families of fallen officers injured or killed in the line of duty. Every May, officers from different agencies throughout Orange County come together for this Memorial Ride to commemorate the lives of these officers. This year, Safariland sponsored the Orange County Sheriff's department with team jerseys for participating officers.
Safariland® announced today that Team Safariland members Dave and Jodi Ruby, multi triathlon-champions, competed on their Kona® 29er bikes at the 2012 XTERRA World Championships which will be televised on several stations throughout the US from March through June. Dave Ruby was on the podium as the first American male to victory and placed fifth place overall in the male 50-54 division while Jodi also stood on the podium placing fifth overall in the female 50-54 division.
Safariland® announced today that it has released the Safariland®/Kona® Patrol Bike (29er) in white. The Safariland/Kona Patrol Bike is built from the ground up as the premium patrol bike for law enforcement and security markets and utilizes some of the most technologically advanced components in the industry. The new white color with its bright high-gloss finish provides increased visibility for those in public safety and industrial markets.
HATCH® announced today the introduction of the Model SUBH100 Half-Finger Special Unit Bike Glove, designed specifically for bike patrol officers looking for greater dexterity of motion in the fingers while on patrol. Engineered with advanced materials to provide a glove that is both durable and comfortable for all-day bike patrol, this Special Unit Bike Glove features closed-cell foam in the palm area to help reduce fatigue and stress on the hand.
JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Safariland, a BAE Systems line of business, announced today that its Break Free® line has released Chain Lube, a high-performance lubricant for bicycles or any chain driven equipment. Utilizing the most advanced lubrication technology, Chain Lube overcomes friction and wear in the most demanding and adverse conditions. Break Free Chain Lube is among several new products introduced as part of the new Safariland Patrol Bike product line.
JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Safariland, a BAE Systems line of business, is pleased to announce that Sergeant Randy Crowther of the Orem, UT Police Department, and a member of the Safariland® Saves Club®, represented Safariland in the 2012 Police Unity Tour.
Crowther, riding his Safariland/Kona Patrol Bike 29er, left Somerset, NJ with a small group of 300 other officers from the Western United States for the first leg of the tour. This group was part of a much larger assembly of law enforcement officer cyclists who were making the ride to Washington, DC to take part in the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Foundation (NLEOMF) ceremony.
Safariland®, a BAE Systems line of business, announced today at the International Police Mountain Bike Association (IPMBA) Conference that it is introducing a brand new Patrol Bike product line for the law enforcement market. Safariland has teamed with Kona USA, one of the world's leading all-terrain bicycle manufacturers, to develop the flagship product in the line, the Safariland®/Kona® Patrol Bike 29er. Safariland is supporting this with an integrated line of bike related products from their branded armor, duty gear and protective gear lines to new offerings of bike accessories, including apparel and hardware.
Safariland®, a BAE Systems business, participated in the 13th annual Kona® Bikes 24 Hours of Old Pueblo with its new Safariland/Kona Patrol Bike 29er. Held in Tucson, Arizona on February 17-19, 2012, this event is described as the largest 24-hour mountain biking event in the United States. Safariland's involvement in the ride was focused on testing their law enforcement Patrol Bike to see just how well the 29er would do against the rough and rugged desert environment.

"Wizard of Earthsea" reviewed by Sierra on June 19, 2009
Wizard of Earthsea
Ursula K. LeGuin
Write a review of the book, including plot points, if you wish:
Wizard of Earthsea is about a boy, really, named Ged. He is taken as an old wizard's apprentice, but his talents exceed what the old wizard can teach him. Ged goes to an island known for teaching wizards, and he invokes something from the dark side of the world. This book is about Ged trying to get rid of this creature he summoned, and suceeding, but did not come away from it without a lesson learned. This book was my favorite out of all the others Ursula has written.
Similar authors or titles?:
Ursula K. LeGuin was known as one of the most influential fantasy writers of the modern age. Here are some other authors that are considered the same:Robert Jordan,Terry Goodkind, Orson Scott Card, Terry Brooks, Tad Williams, & Terry Pratchett.
Would you recommend this book?:
If you like a book about wizards and magic that isn't childish, then you might try this book.

"Pippa is one of the best personalities on TV, so the more she can do the better."Featured comment
Pippa Wetzell will co-host consumer affairs show Fair Go, replacing Ali Mau, who has moved to new primetime flagship Seven Sharp.
The former Breakfast presenter has been reading One news at 4.30pm after returning to TVNZ from maternity leave.
She will join co-host Gordon Harcourt on the Fair Go desk and says she is "thrilled" to be joining the team.
"Not only is it an established and successful show, but I'm looking forward to upholding the standards and responsibilities that Fair Go has become known for."
There is also a new executive producer, 20-year TVNZ veteran Max Adams, who was the first executive producer for politics show Sunday.
TVNZ Current Affairs Editor Briar McCormack says "Pippa is a fantastic addition to our team and a perfect fit for the show".
"Fair Go has been part of New Zealanders' lives for 36 years, and everyone who works on the show is very passionate about sticking up for the little guy."
Ali Mau will join Greg Boyed and Jesse Mulligan as a presenter on current affairs show Seven Sharp, which screens on weekdays at 7pm.
Comments and questions8
I do wish TVNZ would get some fresh faces and stop just moving the old chess pieces around. Aren't we trying to keep our fresh talent in NZ and in employment?
Pippa is one of the best personalities on TV, so the more she can do the better. She is not only a great presenter but appears to be a very genuine nice person.

Don't Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Can Fix Today
Small repairs can turn costly when ignored (via Consumer Reports)
I've had this annoying problem with my car – a clunking rattle and slow acceleration when shifting from second to third gear – that I've put off having looked at for a while. But after reading this article from Consumer Reports, I think I'm going to have someone investigate ASAP.
The advice (keep regular maintenance appointments and don't put off getting small problems fixed) is nothing a car owner doesn't already know. On the other hand, I bet most of us are guilty of ignoring one or both on occasion. The real world, worst-case scenarios they outline are pretty sobering, too: A $6,000 engine replacement instead of an oil change for 30 bucks? I need to make an appointment with my mechanic. Like, right now.
A look at 20 one-of-a-kind automobiles meant only for the 1 percent.
Cars are cool, and here at MSN Autos we love everything about them, but we also know they're more than simply speed and style: a car is an essential tool, a much-needed accessory to help you get through your day-to-day life.

Ron Paul Set to Lead Federal Reserve Oversight CommitteeNovember 5, 2010 - by Donny Shaw
Rep. Ron Paul [R, TX-14], the most popular member of Congress amongst OC users, is in line next session to take control of the Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade and Technology subcommittee, oversees the Federal Reserve, among other things. Paul is well known for being critical of the Fed, having recently authored a book titled "End the Fed" and sponsoring legislation session after session designed to accomplish just what the book title suggests. He has inspired a powerful, Tea Party-aligned grassroots movement around his ideas of abolishing the Fed and changing the fundamental structure of the U.S. monetary system. With the Fed right now at the center of efforts to get the economy back up and running, having Paul take over Fed oversight right now could really shake things up.
Paul recently spoke to Reuters about what he plans to do with his new position:
Paul is currently the top Republican on the House of Representatives subcommittee that oversees domestic monetary policy, and is likely to head the panel when Republicans take control of the chamber in January.
That could create a giant headache for the Fed, which earlier this year fended off an effort headed by Paul to open up its internal deliberations on interest rates and monetary easing to congressional scrutiny. […]
Paul said his subcommittee would also push to examine the country's gold reserves and highlight the views of economists who believe that economic downturns are caused by bad monetary policy, not the vagaries of the free market.
Global organizations like the International Monetary Fund also will come under scrutiny, he said.
"Eventually we're going to have monetary reform. I do not believe the dollar can be the reserve standard of the world," said Paul, who has called for returning the United States to a currency backed by gold or silver.
Earlier this year when Congress was working on financial reform, they caved to the Obama Administration on Fed transparency at the last minute. Both the Senate and the House were on route to pass strong Fed audit language, similar to Paul's "Audit the Fed" bill, that would have removed all restrictions on which Fed activities the Government Accountability Office can look at and allow full audits to happen regularly into the future. But Obama threatened to veto the whole bill if this language was added, so, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders [I, VT], they swapped it out for language that instead would allow a one-time audit of the Fed's activities in the financial crisis and leave in place the GAO restrictions on future audits.
With Paul gaining new leadership powers, the battle between Congress and the Administration over Fed transparency and monetary system is definitely going to heat up again next year. The energy he has amassed around his causes, both in and out of Congress, could turn this into the populist fight of our time, with Ben Bernanke and the entrenched powers he is perceived to represent as a very vulnerable target.

This is wonderful. I'm so excited to expose the destructive things the Fed is doing. So much for Obama's "transparent" government. Seems like he has a lot to hide.
haha yea, obama in the past two years corrupted the FED. hahah you fool obama has been fighting with them. so many ppl want to make obama out to be an elitist that controls every aspect of government when in actuality the republicans are fillibustering and fighting his every move. You have no clue how long the FED has been corrupting our system. Has nothing to do with the past two years. If anything obama has fought them.
- jackdoty523 11/06/2010 9:44pm
It's really odd when people respond to things that I didn't say. I never said Obama himself corrupted the Fed (it is inherently corrupt), and I also never said it had become this way within the past two year, it's been this way for a while. However, I don't think it has ever been as bad as it is now. And Obama said flat out he would veto a bill that contains an audit to the Federal Reserve, he relies on the Fed heavily to accomplish his goals (like a lot of politicians unfortunately do). So I don't have any idea what you're talking about, or how you came to these weird conclusions.

Opencongress staff, your thread for 3706 is turning into a toilet. please take a look.
Oh and excellent article this could change the world, for good of for bad i don;t know but will change things.
- ryandsmith 11/06/2010 12:20am
I hope Ron Paul gives them pure hell. This is very exciting news. The only person on the hill who has the knowledge to finally get the Fed Reserve in check is Dr. Ron Paul.
- sordidsentinel 11/06/2010 2:41am
He's a doctor of economics, right? Oh wait, no, he's an OB. I guess he IS the only person to get the Fed in check…
- Abaratarrr 11/06/2010 8:10am
He does not have a Dr. in economics. He has authored at least 6 books on economics some of which are curriculum for people pursuing a degree in economics. He is also a Sr counselor at the Mises institute.
- sordidsentinel 11/06/2010 3:23pm
Haha, gold standard.

State Coordinators Report
By Susan Alger, CWF Program State Coordinator
Cold and Cloudy, With Some Rays of Sunshine
Hello Everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed the fall and the holiday seasons and are now off to a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. I'd like to wish the same for the National and State economy, but while there are some bright spots on the horizon, it looks like we are still in for a period of gloomy financial weather. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is no exception. We wait, along with other state agencies, to see how great an impact the current and expected fiscal situation will have on our operations and services. The role our volunteers can play looms large in our planning to do more with the people and resources we have available. Your efforts are invaluable to us. You are our rays of sunshine, and certainly our treasures at the end of the rainbow. Our agency is lucky to have so many dedicated people willing to share their time and talents with us. With your help, we will weather the storm.
I am delighted to announce that as of this newsletter edition, we have 4 volunteers who have exceeded 600 hours of service to the Department. This in 2 years or less as active members! Congratulations gentlemen. Well done!
Region 4
Frank Showalter—636 hours
Bob Stover—606 hours
Region 5
John Hutchinson—635 hours
Tim Hall—608 hours
In this issue, we return to reports from our Region Coordinators spotlighting people and recent activities in each region. We also share some of the personal experiences, articles, and photos sent in by our staff and volunteers, and encourage YOU to write to us with any stories or pictures you'd like to share about your VDGIF volunteer experience.
While we all hunker down and wait for the winter deep freeze to thaw, read on to learn about just some of the ways your fellow volunteers have been involved.
I'll end my report with a few photos of some young folks whose lives our volunteers have touched.
As always, thank you for all you do. It's an honor working with each of you.
Important Update
Chronic Wasting Disease Confirmed in Sample from Test Site in Frederick County, Virginia
Region 1 Report
By Jim Battle, CWF Region I Coordinator
The Dynamo Twins
Henry (Hank) Grizzard and Robert (Bob) Clark came into the Complementary Work Force program in the spring of 2008. Suffice it to say, they hit the ground running. Both of these gentlemen, whom I affectionately refer to as "road dogs", are retirees and have a history of volunteer service. They both have military and civil service experience and bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to the program. They live within holl'in distance of each other in Prince George county and typically work together as CWF volunteers.
Hank and Bob are not shy about getting involved. They will and have signed on to a variety of volunteer and training opportunities. They take on projects from exhibit staffing across the board to crop damage inspections and managed hunts. Their major impact has been public facilities maintenance. They volunteer on a regular basis at the Chickahominy, Princess Ann, and Hog Island WMA's. The public facilities management staff can not praise them enough. Hank recently participated in building a new porch for the Fisheries house at Airfield Lake in Southampton County. In addition to their zest to serve and give back, they both have infectious personalities. They have a wealth of knowledge and background about south side Virginia and can talk for hours about what has transpired through the years. They know the biggest and oldest trees in the county to the history of the rivers that run through eastern south side Virginia. When you engage them, be prepared to spend a while, as you get captivated by their stories and experiences.
The Complementary Work Force program, without a doubt, is better because of Hank and Bob. Volunteers in the mode of these gentlemen have enabled CWF to become a force in VDGIF in a short period of time. We appreciate their dedication to the program and their willingness to make a difference. Hank and Bob are the consummate CWF prototype and when they say they want to give back and make a difference, THEY DO.
Region 4 Report

Coursey Springs Dedication Features the Fab Five!
On December 17th, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries hosted a dedication ceremony for completion of the Coursey Springs Trout Cultural Station in Bath County. This facility, the largest trout production facility in the state, has been closed for two years for construction of a new state-of-the-art trout rearing station. The project is the largest capital outlay project ever undertaken by the Department.
Present for the dedication were high level Department staff from Richmond, representatives of the Governor's office, past facility managers, Department employees involved in the operation of Coursey Springs, as well as many local residents.
Coursey Springs provides one of their largest volunteer opportunities for our Region IV CWF volunteers, in the form of trout stocking assistance. As usual, they were in the thick of things at the dedication. Frank Showalter, of Rockingham County, agreed to provide the buffet luncheon for the event and had as his assistant chefs, fellow volunteers Bob Stover, Garland Kinzie, Charlie Grady and French Simmons, or the "Fab Five," as they jokingly refer to themselves. So, on one of the coldest days of the year, with the threat of a "major snow event" on the way, these volunteers loaded up the trucks and headed out to Bath County. As always, they persevered and came through for the Department! They did a "fab"ulous job. The crowd was treated to a delicious buffet luncheon consisting of BBQ, coleslaw, broccoli salad, a delicious bean dish and a variety of homemade pies. No one went away hungry! The approximate 90 attendees had nothing but great comments.
I was on hand, along with Karen Austin, Administrative Assistant for Region IV Wildlife/Fisheries, to assist with the operation. Everyone worked hard and had lots of fun while getting the job done.
Region IV staff so appreciates all of the volunteers in Region IV for what they do to assist in the overall operation of the Region and the Department as a whole. Needless to say, the Region IV staff also appreciates the fun and smiles the volunteers bring to everyone along the way. What wonderful ambassadors they are for DGIF.
Region 5 Report

CWF Volunteers Collect Data for Big WMA and Range User Study
Volunteers with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries - Complementary Work Force are engaged in a yearlong data-gathering project. The Wildlife Management Area (WMA) and Range User Survey project is collecting information related to: frequency of visits, activities pursued on the WMA's, user suggestions for improving service and access, and user feedback on current management techniques and overall land resource management objectives.
This project entails collecting information from 10 WMA and range sites throughout the State. 460 surveys were recorded on the dove opening day on September 5, 2009 and 375 for the archery opening day on October 3, 2009. The on-site interviews will continue through the end of August 2010. Data collected is used for planning and resource management for the respective WMA's and ranges.
Here in Region 5, volunteers Kyla Knudson, John McMann, Tim Hall, Richard Leach, Dick Elliott, and James Worden have been doing yeoman's duty as survey clerks for the project. Volunteer, Kyla Knudson reports, "I had a blast at the WMA Phelps Survey on Saturday." Kyla worked Phelps for the Dove Opening on October 3rd. Volunteer Rich Leach says, "I think the best thing about doing the surveys is just talking to all the folks out there. I've talked to hunters, fisherman, bikers, joggers, and hikers. The thing I find funny is the question that people have the hardest time with, 'What's your age?' People pause for 30 seconds to stop and think about it."
WMA User Survey Coordinator, Amy Carrozzino, states, "To add my own take on things- we have had several volunteers,..., who have been "repeat" helpers on our opening days this fall. I have received nothing but rave reviews from DGIF staff and the Virginia Tech technicians working with them about their dedication and professionalism while working on the project. It's clear that such a huge effort as this could not have been achieved this fall without CWF help."
This ongoing project is always looking for additional "boots on the ground". If you have some time and really want to hear from folks that are out and about hunting, fishing, hiking, birding, and enjoying nature on the Wildlife Management Areas, contact your Region Coordinator to learn more about upcoming opportunities to help.
All In A Day's Work For Our Volunteers... From Our Email
CWF Volunteers Battle Litter Bugs On South River
By Jason Hallacher, Senior Fisheries Technician
September 11th, a day that will live in infamy within all of us. Although this day will always be a somber one, I was happy to lead eight of our extremely dedicated volunteers in the first annual South River Cleanup. Organized by our Regional Fisheries Biologist Paul Bugas, the day was planned not only to put a dent in the accumulation of trash in the river, but also to partake in President Obama's National Day of Service and Remembrance. Although I was pleased to see a great turnout of CWF members, we were not alone. Forty three other volunteers came out to support our efforts including other state agencies, universities, nature conservancies, local municipalities, and area residents.
The morning started with a hardy breakfast and a plan. To cover twenty two miles of river we would have two prongs of attack. The first involved a ground assault on all the public parks within the city limits. The second involved seven teams in canoes, floating specified reaches of South River. Folks on foot would concentrate on the river banks and then assist with trash removal. Volunteers in canoes had the tedious job of filling their vessels with garbage without overloading and tipping. Since CWF is such a diverse group we split up our guys into a land based crew and a stream team.
I had the pleasure of working with Steve Demma and Fred Keeling on the river. Both were very skilled at steering canoes solo. As soon as we put on the water we immediately started making an impact. It is incredible how many plastic bottles and aluminum cans can accumulate on the river bottom and inside log snags. It quickly became a contest to see who could find the most outlandish object. Among the most memorable were numerous tires, a plastic raft, a computer monitor, lawn chairs, and some type of large mowing blade. Within approximately two hours our canoes were filled to the brim and we finally had to call it quits. Slowly and carefully we rowed our new found treasure to the take out. After another two hours of paddling through low water conditions and dragging our canoes through shallow riffles, we finally made it to our destination. Dry land never felt so good. As we topped off the dump truck with our numerous bags of trash and watched it glide across the scale at the landfill, a sense of pride filled us all. We had just removed 2 tons of trash from one of the most beautiful rivers in the Commonwealth. What a way to spend the day and what a difference we made!
I continue to be inspired by the CWF "can do" work ethic. Thanks to all that came out to volunteer with us and I can't wait until round two next year. Thanks for all that you do, and keep up the good work.
An October Scouting Weekend in Fluvanna
By Marika Byrd, Volunteer Region 1
No dampened spirits were found at Pleasant Grove Park in Fluvanna County where more than 1,000 Scouts participated in an activities-filled weekend. Jeff Gieser, Activities Chair for the Monticello District, Stonewall Jackson Area Council Boy Scouts of America, noted that several hundred Cub Scouts, with extended families, came prepared to brave the wet ground, breezy, overcast weather, and dropping temperatures, on Saturday, October 17, for an adventurous field day event.
Jack Bellamy and Marika Byrd, VDGIF Complementary Work Force Program volunteers, were part of the activities. Bellamy demonstrated archery and turkey calling to excited Cubs; some tried using the callers, as squeals abounded. He provided an exhibit of a fanned wild turkey tail, two beards, and several pairs of legs and feet, about a dozen sets of white-tailed deer antlers along with a big, mounted stag head, which delighted the small groups as they rotated through the stations.
Byrd showed and talked about the barn owl, northern river otter, tiny white-tailed fawn, and black bear cub mounts. After the scouts attentively listened and observed the mounts, they eagerly went for the hands-on exhibit as family members photographed the "antlered dancing cubs."
The Virginia State Police were there with their armored vehicle and the turret open. The scouts enjoyed climbing inside and surveying the terrain from the vehicle top. Buster, the bomb sniffing dog, gave a demonstration for the whole group. No one dared to go forward and reward Buster for a hard, well-done job, according to Gieser.
Each pack set up games, which tested balance, agility, and dexterity skills; the troops gained knowledge for and about themselves as they rotated among the various stations.
Gieser reports that, "Parents spoke highly of the VDGIF involvement...by volunteers. The boys loved it."
A Bigger Target
By John McMann, Volunteer, Region 5
I have been working at the Phelps WMA and the shooting range on a regular basis for over a year. So far I have participated in 2 survey days at the range and am looking forward to several more. When I greet someone coming to the WMA I always ask them if they will give me a few minutes before they leave to complete the user survey. I make a point of telling them there are no wrong or right answers and there are no grades given. We just want to know their likes and dislikes to help serve them better. This has worked well for me as folks want to help.
It is amazing the diversity of users we have. All nationalities, all backgrounds and ages from 8 to 80 enjoy the range. It is equally amazing that complete strangers using the range usually end up sharing their knowledge, goals and interests with everyone there. I have seen many unusual friendships develop and made some of those myself. It is great fun to watch and sometimes help an entire family enjoy themselves, and I get to watch future generations who will love the outdoors and wildlife and are being well taught. Hope to see YOU there soon!

Attorneys for Jodi Arias continue their defense today of the woman accused of murdering her ex-lover, Travis Alexander, in 2008.
The high-profile murder trial that has become a cable television sensation continues at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix.
[Watch live streaming video of the trial on cbs5az.com]
Another of Arias' ex-boyfriends, Darryl Brewer, was on the stand Tuesday. He requested his face not be photographed or videotaped.
Arias and Brewer were together four years and even lived together for awhile.
Brewer testified that Arias was a very responsible, caring and loving person.
During cross examination, Brewer admitted that Arias changed when she started working for Pre-Paid Legal Services, where she met Alexander.
"I saw a lot of changes in Jodi," Brewer said. "She became a different person than I had known previously."
Arias claims she killed Alexander in self-defense and is expected to take the stand and testify on her own behalf.
She is accused of slitting Alexander's throat, stabbing him nearly 30 times and shooting him in the forehead in a jealous rage.
She has offered three versions of what happened in Alexander's Mesa apartment in 2008:
A number of legal experts agree the primary goal for the defense will be to spare Arias the death penalty.

I had thought another supplement I was taking might be keeping my HSV under control so, since Herp-Eeze, is fairly high priced, I stopped taking it. I immediately had an outbreak. I immediately started taking it again and haven't had one since. It's definitely worth the cost.

I've been taking Lysine and Olive Leaf separately trying to ward off outbreaks, has been hit-n-miss. First month using this and did not have an outbreak which usually coincides with monthly cycles. I'm planning on sticking with this product and have recommended it to others. RX meds such as Zovirax have made me extremely ill and I wont touch them again. Thanks iHerb for carrying this product.
fantastic, superior product

Circus training the Moroccan way
After reclaiming all our impounded filming equipment from the Tangiers customs we're here filming young acrobats as part of Circus Post. The Hammich family circus troupe were a regular fixture on the UK seaside circuit throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Have a look at our Facebook page for more images
