SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Derek Lowe has earned a job with the Texas Rangers and will start the season in the bullpen.
Rangers manager Ron Washington said Tuesday the 39-year-old right-hander will be a long reliever and spot starter.
Lowe agreed March 6 to a minor league contract and will get a one-year deal that pays him $1.25 million in the major leagues and $150,000 in the minors. He can earn $1.7 million in performance bonuses based on a point system for starts and relief appearances.
Lowe was 9-11 with a 5.11 ERA last season in 21 starts and 17 relief appearances for Cleveland and the New York Yankees. He will take over a role filled last season by Scott Feldman, who left to sign with the Chicago Cubs.
Texas also optioned prospect Jurickson Profar to Round Rock and assigned catcher Eli Whiteside, left-hander Nate Robertson and outfielder Jim Adduci to the Triple-A club.
General manager Jon Daniels said right-hander Nick Tepesch will start for Round Rock on April 4, then will be recalled to the Rangers for their game April 9 against Tampa Bay, the first day Texas will need a fifth starter.
Tepesch is 0-1 with a 6.50 ERA during five spring training appearances, including three starts. The 24-year-old was a combined 11-6 at Class A and Double-A last season.
Profar is hitting .244 (11 for 45) in 21 spring training games with five RBIs. The 20-year-old decided against participating in the early rounds of the World Baseball Classic for the Nethertlands to increase his chances of making the Rangers' opening-day roster.

Update #1, Opening Day, Day 2, Sunday and Monday February 5 and 6 from the Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections National Meeting
Conference - Feb 5/6 Transcript
Dr. Eric Daar offers perspectives of interest on topics from the 13th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (held in Denver, Colorado February 5-8, 2006)
The Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections has become one of the most important HIV/AIDS research meetings of the year. This year there were over 3,800 leading researchers and clinicians from around the world in attendance with nearly 1000 presentations summarizing new clinical and laboratory research, as well as discussing issues related to co-infections and co-morbidity. The meeting opened on the evening of February 5th with an opening plenary and keynote session.
The 11th Annual Bernard Fields memorial Lecture was given by Bette Korber from the Los Alamos National Laboratory. She described global HIV variation and its implications for vaccine development. Her presentation summarized data on the distribution of different HIV groups and clades, or subtypes from around the world. She also talked about her work in describing where HIV is likely to have emerged from, using molecular techniques to track when HIV likely jumped species from non human primates to humans. Her work took advantage of the oldest available strain from Africa, found from a frozen specimen in 1959, in order to trace the evolution back SIV in chimpanzees- suggesting that this virus entered humans in approximately 1930. She talked about how the extensive variability in HIV is an enormous obstacle to vaccine development and some of the strategies that are being looked at in order to overcome this problem.
The opening Keynote Lecture was provided by James Curran from Emory University. Dr. Curran had been at the CDC when the first cases of AIDS were described. His presentation was entitled, "25 Years of HIV Pandemic: Lessons Learned." He talked about the original reports of AIDS in 1981, the identification of the causative pathogen, HIV in Europe and in the United States, the development of the screening HIV antibody test, and many of the events related to this emerging epidemic that occurred during these early years. He talked about the many advances in both prevention and treatment and emphasized the importance of investigators continuing their hard work in order to overcome some of the remaining obstacles such as the development of an effective vaccine, and perhaps even HIV eradication.
Another Plenary lecture was presented on the first full day of the meeting by Dr. John Bartlett, from Johns Hopkins University entitled, "10 Years of Heart: Principles for the Future". Dr. Bartlett reminded the group that it has been 10 year since the first availability of potent antiretroviral therapy. He summarized how the rapid introduction of protease inhibitors into the standard of care resulted in marked reductions in AIDS-related mortality. He shared with the audience what he felt were some of the most important advances during the last 10 years, including several key events surrounding the Vancouver International AIDS Meeting in 1996 with the description of HIV dynamics showing that there are about 10 billion viral particles produced on a daily basis, the potency of triple drug therapy, and even discussion of potential eradication. He further talked about some of the unique treatment strategies that have more recently been considered, including strategies of using treatment interruption in different patient populations, a topic that was widely discussed during the ensuing days of this meeting. Like Dr. Curran, he emphasized the importance of continuing to work hard in order to advance the field and the importance of focusing efforts in the developing world.
Culturing Hepatitis C Virus in vitro
During the first full day of the meeting there was a Plenary Lecture by Dr. Wakita from the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Neurosciences in Japan describing lessons learned from in vitro cultivation of HCV. He reminded the audience that one of the obstacles to advancing our understanding of HCV pathogenesis as well as developing a vaccine and expanding treatment options has been the lack of an in vitro culture system or a small animal model for HCV. He described his work in developing an in vitro culture system using a strain of HCV from a patient who experienced fulminant infection. The virus was cloned, and a HCV replicon was created that replicated well in a cell line and was transmittable to chimpanzees (the only known animal model). Although there are clearly some limitations to the data, it does hold promise that the culture system will be available to allow us to grow the virus in vitro, and advance vaccine development and create a system for testing new treatment strategies.

On Thursday night, Johnny Joe Marcum of Mullens was arrested after drugs and other paraphernalia were found inside his apartment.
Hundreds of dollars of cash and marijuana were seized from Marcum's home above Steele's Tavern.
After a search warrant was conducted Thursday night which led to valium, marijuana, countless drug paraphernalia, food stamp cards and cash being found along with Marcum. He was charged with possession with intent to deliver.
95% of their cases are drug related, according to Mullens Police Assistant Chief Jack Meadows.
Meadows told 59News food stamp cards are traded for dope all the time because anyone can use it as long as you have the pin number.
Marcum's apartment is 3 blocks away from the Mullens Police Department. A resident of Mullens told us what they believe is the kind of person abuses what is supposed to be for those in need.
"It hurts the people that really needs the help. If you take your food stamps out here, they'll sell it for drugs but they'll eventually get caught," Charlie Hall said.
One local woman has lived in Mullens all her life and said the drug problem has not gotten any better.
"It's a lot worse. And I grew up in the 60's and 70's. It's a lot worse now than it was then, there's different drugs on the streets. It's a world of difference, a world of difference," said Anita Walker.
Hall believed it's not just Southern West Virginia that sees a large amount of crime involving drugs.
"You see them hanging around the doctor's offices. I've lived here for 25 years, it looks bad on people that actually need the medicine, but a lot of them don't need it and they abuse it. It's a big thing, it's all over the United States that way," Hall concluded.
A second search warrant was served on another apartment in Mullens and an arrest is pending.
If anyone has information on drug activity in Mullens, you can report an anonymous tip to the Mullens Police Department at (304) 294-7132

Lynn Shalton, the building which is schleduled to house classes next fall Big Sky Tourney starts tonight Brady considered for U president Weber State College President Rodney Brady has been suggested as a possible successor to University of Utah President David Gardner, who is leaving the University to accept a similar position with the University of California. Dr. Brady's name was mentioned in conjunction with four other names to fill the position at Utah. A search committee has been established by the Utah State Board of Regents to select a successor for Dr. Gardner. The search committee hopes to have the new president named by June 30. Candidates may be nominated to the committee or they may formally apply for the position. The committee will narrow the applicants down to four or five people and select the new president from that group. President Brady said that he would have to find out more about the position, but he "would have to give serious consideration to it." President Brady added he felt sure there would be many qualified applicants from around the country applying for the vacancy and that he would have to wait and see what develops before committing himself. Learn how to 'package' self, audience told by Lisa Wright Managing Editor Have you ever thought of yourself as a product-one that has to be marketed and sold to a future employer? That was the main thrust of the convocation Thur-day by clothing consultant William Thourbly. Thourbly told the sparse crowd in the Browning Center that if they placed success as the top priority, they should be willing to package themselves for the greatest possibilities. "Think of yourself as a product and what you are selling is brains," he said. The proper clothing can either make or break a prospective employee in the business world. According to Thourbly, what is currently the fashion trend is usually not the thing to wear when looking for a job, especially if that job is with a large conservative company. Knowing how to dress yourself for business is what Thourbly referred to as "the unfair advantage." That unfair advantage is learning how control first impressions and use them to your advan tage. "When strangers meet you, they don't know you or what you can do. You can be anyone that you want and create any impression that you want," Thourbly said. "We (the potential employers) see everything. Nothing you wear goes unnoticed, and everything makes an impression."Thourbly outlined five things to remember: 1. Honestly look at yourself in the mirror and evaluate your weaknesses and how to best camoflage them. He said everyone should have at least a full-length mirror in order to get the full picture presented to the public. 2. Take advantage of the "Threshold Effect" (for the first impression). Thourbly said there are 10 questions which can be answered about a person by just looking at him the first time: How much money he makes, his education level, trustworthiness, social position, social heritage, etc. What a person wears and how he carries himself are the fundamental determinants in the "Threshold affect." 3. Don't confuse fashion with business clothing. 4. Don't confuse emotional clothing with business clothing. 5. Deviation from the unwritten code of business dress and style is the "kiss of death." Thourbly told the audience that both men and women should wear classic, traditional suits. The darker the color, the more serious a person appears about his intentions. Thourbly detailed several guidelines for suits, shoes, hairstyles, shirts and blouses for success-minded men and women. A theme which ran thoughout was to keep clothing simple and basic. "After you have become well established and are determining what people around you do, then you can deviate from this style," he said. All who are intending to breaking successfully into the business world should have a good "investment" in suits, Thourbly said. A minimum of five is the basic number to start with. Shirts and blouses' should be in neutral colors and men would be smart to make their first dozen white. Thursday's convo was the final one for the quarter. by Steve Largent Editor-in-Chief RENO, Nev.-The "Biggest Little City in the World" has suddenly gotten bigger with the Big Sky Basketball Championship in town. The Weber State, Montana and Idaho basketball teams can be easily spotted throughout Reno. Situated close to the foothills of the Sierra Mountains, Reno has never had this much "tall timber" in town at one time. The host team, University of Nevada-Reno, has been the subject of much of the pre-tourney conversation. Almost everyone is wondering how much longer their good luck will continue. According to the latest Big Sky statistics, UNR is averaging 75.5 points per game, while giving up an average of 74.6. There are so many stories about UNR winning at the last second that it would probably take volumes to write them all down. Believe it or not, Weber State is not the only team beaten by Nevada-Reno in the closing seconds of a game. The Wildcats, after arriving in Reno late Wednesday night, had a fairly easy day yesterday, with nothing on the schedule until a 4 p.m. practice session that was open to both press and public. On Thursday evening the tournament banquet and press conference was held at the El Dorado Hotel, which is serving as tournament headquarters. Today, the Wildcats will have a closed practice early in the day and then rest up for their first round game tonight against the Montana Grizzlies. The tournament is almost like an entirely new season. Weber State has met Montana on three previous occasions in tournament play and the Wildcats have won all three games. Weber State has also defeated Montana in both regular games this season. The Wildcat team was happy with their first-round pairing against Montana. Tom Heywood said that hJing beaten Montana twice is a real advantage for the Wildcats. "We play well against them because we match up well against their team. I would much rather be playing them in the first round than Idaho or Reno." The Weber StateMontana game will be the second game on the slate for Friday night. Game time is set for 40 minutes after the completion of the IdahoNevada-Reno game, or shortly after 10 p.m. MST. The game will be televised live on KUTV Channel 2. The contest will also be broadcast on 1430 KJQ AM and KCGL FM 106, with John Peterson calling the action.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Akshay Kumar, Vijay, Prabhu Deva
Vijay, who is currently shooting for A R Murugadoss' 'Thuppakki' in Mumbai, was roped in by director Prabhu Deva for a friendly jig with Akshay Kumar in the street anthem 'Chinta Ta' from the action-entertainer 'Rowdy Rathore'.
Prabhu Deva was keen on having Tamil actor, singer and dancer Vijay whom he directed in the very successful 'Pokiri', do a cameo in the film. On learning that Akshay was part of the song, Vijay, a huge Akshay Kumar fan, jumped at the opportunity.
Says Vijay, "I have always been a fan of Akshay Kumar since his Khiladi days. The promos of 'Rowdy Rathore' are very interesting. Prabhu Deva just had to ask me once and I readily agreed. They were very friendly and I won't ever forget the experience shooting for the song."
If that wasn't enough, director Prabhu Deva has decided on throwing a party at his Chennai residence with the lead actors Ravi Teja, Sudeep and Karthi from the Tamil, Telugu and Kannada versions of 'Rowdy Rathore'.
Starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, UTV's 'Rowdy Rathore', produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and co-produced by Shabina Khan, is scheduled to release on June 1, 2012.

Should we begin teaching children letter sounds first with lowercase letters instead of letter names with uppercase letters?
What do you see more of when you open a book, capital letters or lowercase letters?
What is more important for reading, letter sounds or letter names?
Shouldn't we teach children the more germane information pertaining to the letter first, its sound, as Montessori schools do? Aa is for apple and it says /a/ is too much information for a child to take in, process and then apply to a complex language code. Why don't we start with lowercase letters and sounds, saving letter names for once a child can read a three-letter consonant-vowel-consonant word?

September Fiber Arts Workshop
Published on Thursday, August 29, 2013 - 8:45am
I never thought I'd bring a book on pillowcases to anyone's attention, but when I ran across this book I was intrigued. Some of our participants have been discussing handworked household linens that have come down in their families, or that they have purchased anywhere from yard sales to tony antique shops. The beautiful work begs to be seen and it is frequently relegated to a drawer, only taken out for an occasional airing.
Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase gives examples of giving new life to beautiful handwork that can be applied to other linens as well.
Bring your project to work on, share ideas, and enjoy the company of like-minded stitchers.
We meet the fourth Thursday of the month, 7 p.m. Next date: Sept. 26.

By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN
Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The American Southwest hasn't seen this many endangered Mexican gray wolves roaming the wild in decades.
The results of this year's annual survey of wolves in Arizona and New Mexico mark a first for the troubled reintroduction program. Wolves were first released in 1998, but the numbers have never been this high.
The estimates released Wednesday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service show there are at least 75 wolves in the wild in the two states. That includes 13 packs, three breeding pairs and 20 pups.
That's up from last year's estimate of 58 wolves.
The survey comes as federal officials revamp a decades-old plan that guides management of the predator. A draft proposal calls for establishing rules for wolves that migrate into other parts of Arizona and New Mexico and into West Texas.

Static Electricity and Computers
|Whenever the casing of a computer is opened and its internal workings are exposed — to change a hard drive or add memory chips for example — there is a danger of damaging the computer with the buildup of static electricity that is held by the human body.
The internal workings of a computer, and especially the hard drive, are extremely susceptible to static electricity, which can cause considerable damage to the hard drive if it is zapped with even a small amount. Microchip damage can occur if it is exposed to static electricity as low as 10 volts, and humans are not able to perceive static electricity until it has reached about 1,500 volts.
Walking across a rug can produce a static electricity voltage of up to 12,000 volts, but static voltage is not life threatening. So it is possible to damage a hard drive with static electricity that is not even felt by the person because it is at such a low voltage. Also, computers become increasingly susceptible to static electricity damage as more and more circuitry is built into them.
Static electricity is caused by a process called triboelectrification. Everything around us, and including us, is made of atoms, and every atom has in its center (nucleus) positively charged protons and neutrons, which have no electrical charge. Surrounding the atom are negatively charged electrons. The protons and neutrons in an atom do not change, but the electrons can move from one atom to another. When two objects touch, they exchange electrons, which causes one object to become electrically positive and the other to become electrically negative. When an object touches another object with either an opposite or neutral charge, electrons flow. Static electricity is created when electrons move back and forth between atoms.
To avoid zapping your components with static electricity, take precautions to ground the static electricity before touching any of the internal components of the computer. Wearing an ESD wrist strap or working on an anti-static mat will prevent any static electricity from damaging your computer. Another way to ground the static electricity is to touch the internal metal frame of the computer's case while the computer is plugged into an electrical socket. The static electricity will be discharged and grounded as the electrical circuit is grounded via the AC outlet. And to be on the safe side, always handle the electronic circuitry on the motherboard, video card, modem, sound card, hard drive and other internal components by any insulated, non-circuitry areas if they have them to insure that you do not send a bolt of static electricity coursing through it.
An important exception to this rule is when working inside monitors. You should not ground yourself before working inside a monitor. Monitors store electricity in capacitors, and by grounding yourself you will provide a conduit for the voltage to discharge through your body.
Note: A CRT monitor stores enough electricity in its capacitors to be lethal if released, often tens of thousands of volts. Even with the power off and/or the monitor disconnected from a power source, the monitor retains an extremely high electrical charge. Only a trained professional using the proper equipment should ever attempt to work inside of a computer monitor.

Utah's top recruit in the class of 2013 can now add two more SEC powers to the list of programs that are after him.
This week, Auburn and Alabama extended offers to Cottonwood quarterback Cooper Bateman, The Tribune has learned. The Colts' junior previously received offers from Florida, Colorado, Maryland, Utah, BYU and Boise State.
Between Auburn and Florida, programs that have won three of the last six BCS national championships have offered Bateman. Both the Tigers (Cam Newton) and Gators (Tim Tebow) have had quarterbacks win the Heisman Trophy since 2007.
Auburn offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler coached Tom Brady at Michigan, while Arkansas produced New England Patriots rookie quarterback Ryan Mallett.

MERRILL, WI (WSAU) - What started as a traffic stop turned into a major drug bust for Merrill police Monday night. Police Captain Corey Bennett says officer Matt Waid pulled a vehicle over at 11:10 p.m. when he noticed the license plates didn't match the vehicle. That's when the officer recognized the driver as someone they've been looking for.
23-year-old Cassiopia Conlin of Merrill tried to give officer Waid a false name, but he recognized her and took her into custody. Passengers 38-year-old Jimmie Joannon of Merrill and 49-year-old Danny Hanson of Wausau were also arrested after officer Waid and Wausau's canine unit discovered an unusually large quantity of drugs on the suspects and in the car. Bennett says, "They located methamphetamines, heroin, LSD, and marijuana, and there was at least an ounce of methamphetamine at that time."
All three suspects made initial appearances this afternoon on the new charges in Lincoln County Court.

FIFA Street 4 will be released in the US and Canada on 13 March 2012, and this is just what is needed for avid football video game lovers to have a perfect day.
FIFA Street 4 is to be released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms, and its debut does not come without noise. Top gaming websites and reviewers have been analyzing the game from many different angles in the last few months.
Electronic Arts surely did not fail to play their part, contributing to the excitement all along, with sizzling trailers and updates on what is expected to be the first true quality street football experience.
Yes, gamers have reason for high expectations for the next football title in the FIFA franchise led by EA Sports.
Obviously, if the stakes are that high, it is undeniably because of the bold and fearless manner in which producer Sid Misra and director Gary Paterson portrayed the game during its build-up.
All things considered, there is no margin for error for EA—so what do the fans think? Their views will be widely exposed after they get their hands on the consoles, but right now it appears not everyone is happy.
Although FIFA Street 4's online modes were anticipated to be nothing less than impressive, there have been a few complaints on EA's official forums. According to NowGamer, one member explained:
Are you excited about FIFA Street 4's release in North America?
"After first trying the Online Team Up mode (very basic), and seeing that you can only use your created player, it was a disappointment but I can overlook it."
"After a few matches, I try to play a few ranked games and guess what? No real clubs! YOU CAN ONLY USE THE FAKE/CREATED PLAYERS ONLINE! This also stands for unranked/friendly matches as well."
Certainly, this does not look too good for a start…
However, workers in the background of FIFA Street 4 can still hope for a successful opening in North America on 13 March 2012, as well as a top release in the UK on 16 March 2012.

Thanks to our awesome alumni who came home to TTU's Oakley STEM Center in February to talk about their work at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on the Space Launch System.
Electrical engineering grad Don Krupp, '88, and mechanical engineering grads John Rector, '91, and Mallory Johnston, '10, talked to hundreds of students at 13 middle and high schools through a distance connection from the STEM Center, and Krupp went to Mt. Juliet High School to talk with about 70 students about their current STEM projects, including a catapult designed on a 3D printer and paper cars.
Former astronaut Roger Crouch, physics '62, joined via video chat to talk to the Mt. Juliet students as well.
TTU students were treated to a discussion panel with Rector and Johnston at the STEM Center, where an interactive SLS exhibit offered more information about NASA's next rocket system.
TTU President Phil Oldham joined Marshall representatives for a visit to Flexial Corporation in Cookeville, where they are building a seal that prevents hydrogen leakage in the SLS J-2X engine. About a quarter of Flexial's staff are graduates of Tennessee Tech.
Representatives of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne and Boeing were also on campus to talk about their role in SLS. Mechancial engineering alumnus Dane Richardson, '85, is senior manager of avionics and software in the Ares IUA program at Boeing. He took part in the panel discussions with students as well.
Read more about the week's activities and how NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center partnered with the Millard Oakley STEM Center at Tennessee Tech University to introduce area students and the community to the Space Launch System, or SLS.
The American Association of School Administrators has named Mark A. Edwards, MA administration and supervision, '79, the 2013 National Superintendent of the Year.
Superintendent of Mooresville, N.C., Graded School District since 2007, Edwards has led the district to rank third in the state for the 4-year cohort graduation rate, with 90 percent of seniors graduating. The college-going rate has increased from 74 to 88 percent.
Edwards earned his bachelor's degree at The University of Tennessee and has a doctorate in education from Vanderbilt University.
Teresa Vanhooser, industrial engineering '80, has been appointed deputy director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
She will assist Marshall Center Director Patrick Scheuermann in managing one of NASA's largest field installations, with nearly 6,000 on- and near-site civil service and contractor employees -- including those at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans -- and an annual budget of approximately $2.5 billion. Vanhooser will help oversee a broad range of propulsion, scientific and space transportation activities contributing to the nation's space program.
A native of Johnson City, Tenn., Vanhooser began her NASA career at Marshall in 1980 as an engineer in the Ground Systems Analysis Branch, leading work to integrate and test payloads for the Spacelab carrier, used to conduct science experiments in the space shuttle's payload bay. (NASA/MSFC)
Vanhooser has received numerous NASA awards. In 2007, she was presented the Engineer of Distinction Award -- the highest award offered to alumni from the College of Engineering at Tennessee Tech.
Joe Rector, secondary education '74, has published his first novel titled Baseball Boys.
The book follows the uneasy friendship of two teens who are both gifted athletes. After separating as they attend different universities, the characters are reunited in Chicago, where Martin Simmons plays professional baseball in the Cubs organization and Ike Stearn covers the team for a newspaper. The book is available at amazon.com and in e-reader format.
After 30 years of teaching high school English and retiring in 2008 at the age of 56, Rector decided the time had come to do his own writing. He has written for several newspapers and magazines, and his work has also appeared in eight Chicken Soup books as well as two Knoxville Writers' Guild anthologies.
Rector has a couple of new books that will be out soon. One is a mystery/crime story, and the other is a memoir about the journey he and his son endured during his son's years of playing baseball. Also in the works is a juvenile literature book about a boy who struggles with harsh life and cruel individuals in middle school.
You can follow his blog at http://thecommonisspectacular.blogspot.com.

Enid Young has a passion for making sure children have a toy to call their own. Affectionately called the "Toy Lady," Young began cleaning and repairing toys more than three decades ago.
It started when she went to a garage sale in Dysart and found some stuffed animals.
"So I bought four or five and took them home. The next Saturday I went to another garage sale, and by the end of the summer I had 46 stuffed animals. I didn't know what to do with them," said Enid Young.
Enid Young first partnered with a local man who sent clothes to a mission in Mississippi. She's now sent toys all around the country to children in need.
"I was averaging more than 2000 toys a year," said Young.
Young said for many children, this was the only toy they'd get.
"I would never send a toy no matter how hard I tried to fix it up, if it wasn't going to last. If this is the child's only toy, it has to be reasonable quality and in good repair so it's not going to fall apart and be a disappointment," said Young.
The 80-year-old sews extra clothes for dolls, puts together kits for Barbies, and re-stuffs and cleans up animals.
Young said it cost about $800 a year to ship all the toys. But she always got enough donations from organizations and people in the community to cover the cost. That is, until her last shipment in October.
"I was in the hole $1.40. To me, God spoke to me and said you're done," said Young.
After 30 years, Enid Young said she's ready to pass the title of "Toy Lady" to someone else. She hopes this story inspires someone to continue what she started.
"I just loved it. I loved it," she said.
Enid Young said she'd love to share her knowledge of toys and make sure children around the country still get toys sent with love all year long.

Athletes Who CarePosted: December 5, 2012 Filed under: Alex Wolff | Tags: Athletes Who Care, Brendon Ayanbadejo, Chrissie Wellington, Clayton Kershaw, Didier Drogba, Grant Hill, Kelly Brush Davisson, larry fitzgerald, Roz Savage, Steve Mesler, Tamika Catchings Comments Off
The Power of Ten
In 1987, SI bestowed its highest honor on a group of sports figures dedicated to helping others. A quarter-century later, athletes are channeling the same passion and commitment to ever broader issues, on an ever widening scale.
Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals WR): Last spring the Cardinals' All-Pro wideout visited drought-stricken Ethiopia with Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin, planting trees and assisting on an irrigation project in drought-plagued villages (page 5).
Chrissie Wellington (English Triathlete): The former U.K. government aid worker now dominates professional triathlon, and she carries on her activism in causes ranging from cancer awareness to female education in Nepal (page 6).
Didier Drogba (Ivorian Soccer Player): Africa's most prominent soccer star has earmarked all of his millions in endorsement money to improving medical care and conditions in native Ivory Coast (page 7).
Grant Hill (LA Clippers Small Forward): The NBA veteran has worked with Michele Obama's antiobesity initiative and works to improve nutrition in inner cities (page 7).
Tamika Catchings (Indiana Fever Forward): A hearing impairment didn't slow her rise to basketball stardom, and now Catchings runs several programs aimed at building confidence in kids (page 9).
Steve Mesler (American Bobsledder): The U.S. bobsled gold medalist launched an initiative in which athletes promote the Olympic ideal through regular video chats with school kids (page 9).
Kelly Brush Davisson (Competitive handcyclist): After a ski injury, Brush turned to competitive handcycling and raises funds to subsidize adaptive sports equipment for disabled athletes (page 11).
Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher): Just 24, the 2011 Cy Young winner and '12 Clemente Award honoree built an orphanage in Zambia and supports a wide range of Stateside charities (page 11).
Brendon Ayanbadejo (Baltimore Ravens Linebacker): The veteran Ravens' linebacker is a married and avowedly straight father of two. Yet he has been a happy warrior on the front lines of gay rights (page 12).
Roz Savage (British Ocean Rower): The lone woman to cross the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans solo is a leading practitioner in conservation and climate change (page 13).

The human toll of inflammatory arthritis is staggering, with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) alone affecting an estimated 2 million people in the United States. This systemic disease predominantly affects the joints and can severely compromise the ability of patients to perform the routine tasks of daily living.
Inflammatory arthritis is usually treated with a combination of medications to relieve swelling and pain while regulating the immune system. As with osteoarthritis, joint replacement surgery should also be considered when these non-surgical methods have failed to provide lasting benefit.
If detected and treated in its early stages, the effects of inflammatory arthritis can be greatly diminished and the condition may even disappear completely. The importance of proper diagnosis, particularly in the early stages of the disease, may prevent serious, lifelong arthritic complications.
Since its inception, the Inflammatory Arthritis Center has succeeded in establishing a dedicated inflammatory arthritis clinic; formulating and populating inflammatory arthritis registries; initiating scientific studies; educating physicians; and providing excellent health care.
The Inflammatory Arthritis Clinic was established at the Center, where medical students, residents, fellows, and attending physicians treat patients affected with these disorders. Over 60 patients are treated at this weekly clinic, where they benefit from the highest quality care provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes clinicians, social workers, a radiologist, and scientists.
This free program reflects our comprehensive approach to care for people with rheumatoid arthritis.
HSS offers a number of free programs that reflect our comprehensive approach to care for people with lupus, myositis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Memphis International: "A Game-Changer"
By spring 2012, Memphis International Airport will have a new front door.
Construction began in March on the $89 million, consolidated ground transportation center, located between the existing three-level parking deck and the new 336-foot air traffic control tower. The state-of-the-art center will be connected to the main terminal with a series of covered moving sidewalks (click here to read more).
"It's a game-changer," said Arnold Perl, chairman of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority. "Two years from now as we speak, we'll be talking about how it's one of the model facilities of any airport in the United States."
But hopefully that won't be the only game-changer. The City of Memphis and UrbanArt are seeking exterior public art sculptures to be installed along Plough Boulevard between Winchester and Democrat Road (see previous blog post).
Maybe Memphis International making CNN's "Five Airports with Art Worth Seeing" in upcoming years isn't too far out of reach after all.
I live in Memphis and as much as I would like to see this beautiful airport, I would also like to see available and affordable flights from Memphis to the rest of the country. We simply get ripped off here. No cheap deals unless you count AIr-Tran which makes you go through Atlanta then wait, wait and wait. Poor and unnecessary connections to their hub. A real drag. Please Southwest, come to Memphis! we need you!
we need southwest in memphis
It seems Delta has a stranglehold on air travel in and out of MEM. It is so much cheaper to fly in and out of Little Rock than it is our of MEM.
when traveling with families we have to travel to little rock its make sense with big difference in price.

GPS Tracking devices are being used by Louisville Metro Police on the vehicles of some suspects, at times without a court order. The warrantless tracking raises concerns about whether such use is constitutional, according to a leading criminal law professor.
Police acknowledged the use of the tracking devices after WHAS11 News brought a U.S. Attorney's Office news release that cited Metro Police's use of them to LMPD's attention. The Justice Department apparently did not know that the use of such devices in Louisville had never been revealed.
"We do not want to educate criminals as to all of our methods we use to surveil them," said Lt. Col. Vince Robison, the Assistant Chief of Police.
The news release that revealed the use of the tracking devices outlined how federal and state authorities in Kentucky, Texas and Louisiana built their drug trafficking case against Rickey Calloway, 34, of Louisville and Luciana Meadoweal, 32, of Hopewell, Virginia.
The investigation started with old fashioned police work when, in November 2006, Metro Police detectives noticed a 1998 Lincoln Town Car belonging to Calloway parked in front of a known "stash house" in South Louisville.
It ended after that old fashioned police work got some secret space age help based on the same technology drivers use to find a restaurant or the best way home, GPS.
"GPS is used to track people that we have belief that they are involved in criminal activity," Robison said. "I don't want to give all the information out, but we would be able to tell where the general locations are, where they have traveled to, how long they were at a location."
When detectives got information that the Lincoln Town car with a "false compartment" in the trunk might be heading out of town to pick up a load of drugs, they got a court order to install a GPS tracking device.
Instead of the dangerous and costly business of physically tailing a drug suspect, detectives simply tracked the car heading south toward Houston, which investigators call "a known drug trans-shipment city" parking in the Sugarland suburb, then, as LMPD watched from Louisville, heading east back toward Louisville.
"The criminals have essentially expanded their technology, their range. You have people who deal in multistate enviroments, criminal networks. And to be able to track them with a group of police personnel across multiple states , that would be quite a challenging endeavor. Whereas, with the GPS tracker it makes it more practical to continue your investigation and not lose contact with the person of interest."
Ironically, a traditional traffic stop in Louisiana, with Meadowel driving the car, led to a search that revealed 9 kilograms of cocaine and $80,000 in cash hidden in the false compartment. But the GPS information brought her back to Louisville to face charges.
In this case, police got a court order, but Metro Police have now revealed to WHAS11 News, that for about 30% of their GPS tracking cases this year, they did not get a judge to sign off on a warrant first, a consequential distinction according to University of Louisville criminal law professor Luke Milligan.
"It makes all the difference in the world," Milligan said "The framers enacted the 4th Amendment because they were concerned about police having the discretion to conduct searches on their own."
Milligan says the Supreme Court has not yet dealt with the constitutionality of warrantless GPS tracking by police.
"The court has a blind spot particularly when it comes to keeping up with emerging technologies. Today we find ourselves in the midst of one of these blind spots."
So, for the time being, there is nothing illegal or unconstitutional about the warrantless tracking.
"But it clearly violates the spirit of the 4th Amendment. And I think there is no question that the court will eventually come around."
"It's very troubling," Milligan continued, "I think we have a long tradition in this country of requiring government officials to go before a neutral magistrate to make thier case. We are concerned about abuse, abuse in the context of politics, abuse in the context of personal vendettas. It's very important over time that we keep a close eye on police and the best way to do that is through the warrant requirement."
The LMPD assistant chief counters that warrantless GPS tracking is used when time is of the essence and when the tracking is simply an extension of traditional surveillance.
"And it's a small minority of cases," Robison said, "This year, we've not done a dozen cases through ten months of the year. So we will track them by tracking their vehicles to see where their vehicles go. It's another way of doing surveillance. In the sense that I could drive down the street and see your car. I can see where you go, follow you, by using a team of officers. Now, we have the ability to use technology to track a vehicle without having a team of officers."
"And these are not small time criminal activities. These are things we regularly spend a lot of time on in an investigation, and we believe it's something we need to do to ensure the safety of the citizens," Robison continued.
With no test cases yet before the U.S. Supreme Court, and with no law specifying GPS tracking, it is an open ended question whether warrantless tracking is constitutional, which could complicate future criminal cases.
"I think there's no question they run the risk that the fruits of those searches, the evidence obtained as a result of this GPS tracking would be suppressed," Milligan said, "However, it's a jump ball. I think it's very likely that the court is going to uphold this type of warrantless, suspicionless tracking at least in the near future."
But Robison counters that the GPS tracking case are not without suspicion.
"We are not routiney following 'John Q. Citizen. There has to be some significant criminal activity we suspect in the course of an investigation that causes us to have the interest to surveil them," Robison said.
"We're not following people around. Essentialy this is a tool that we'd normally be surveilling someone, we're using this to do it for us."

The Pharma Fallout Continues
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Express Scripts (NASDAQ: ESRX), the largest pharmacy benefit manager in the U.S., has tumbled over 17% since November 5th on reduced guidance for 2013. In its latest quarterly financials, earnings and revenue came in on track, but investors' real fear is the fact that Express believes the 2013 outlook by analysts is overly aggressive. Although things were patched up between Express and Walgreen months ago, we are just now beginning to see the "fallout" and its residual impact. Here are some of the hedge funds playing this situation.
Express and Walgreen's inability to come to terms on a new contract left many customers underserved, leaving the door open for CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS), who capitalized. CVS's recent earnings announcement showed evidence of the pharmacy company's ability to capture and retain Walgreen customers. 3Q earnings beat estimates, up 16% from a year earlier, and CVS also raised earnings for the full year. Management believes that the Walgreen-Express debacle added $0.04 to its 3Q EPS.
Walgreen (NYSE: WAG) on the other hand, had a less than stellar earnings release, with EPS down from $0.57 a year earlier to $0.53, and same-store sales falling 5.9% in October alone. Walgreen and Express renewed their contract in September that will once again allow Express customers to fill their prescriptions at Walgreen stores, but the damage may already be done, as CVS's management expects it to keep upwards of 60% of the former Walgreen customers. Walgreen's sees limited ability to fully anticipate how its top line will be impacted due to the loss of around $4 billion in sales on the Express contract.
Earlier this year, Express bought Medco Health Solutions (MHS), and with the increased scalability is expected to break $100 billion in revenue for 2013. Prior to the company's recent earnings announcement, three investment firms all reiterated their outperform ratings on Express and had over $70 price targets - compared to Express's current stock price around $51 - due to the behemoth that Express had become with the Medco acquisition.
Medco previously did business with UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH), making up around 15% of Medco's revenues, but this contract is set to expire next year. UnitedHealth is bringing its pharmacy benefit manager services in-house and should do well without Medco. It is expected to grow revenue 8% in 2012 and 9.2% in 2013. Key drivers for UnitedHealth include aggressive acquisition of Medicare and Medicaid customers; check out our analysis of UnitedHealth's recent earnings.
In addition to the Medco acquisition, Express's top line will be driven by increased demand for generics and a rise in higher-margin mail order scripts. The recent Express weakness could be a buying opportunity, and could also represent that CVS may perform better than expected over the interim.
At the end of September, Express saw Lone Pine Capital as the top fund owner at 4.3 million shares; meanwhile, other smaller funds concentrated their portfolio in Express, with around ten firms having near 5% of their 3Q 13Fs invested in the pharmacy benefits manager.
The positive for Walgreens is its 3.2% dividend yield, but the possible continued fallout from the botched Express renewal may hamper growth. Even though Walgreens might be neck-and-neck with its competitors in terms of profit margins and valuation, we believe the outlook for CVS is much more positive. CVS is expected to boost full 2012 sales 15% from 2011 on the back of new pharmacy benefit management clients and same store sales growth of 5%. CVS called billionaire investor Cliff Asness (here's his full 13F portfolio) as one of its top fund owners, and saw nine funds with over 1.5% of their 3Q 13Fs invested in the pharmacy company.
Based on recent EPS, Express now trades above the industry average earnings multiple at 35x, where UnitedHealth and AmerisourceBergen trade at 11x and 15x, respectively. Express does trade at a much more acceptable forward P/E of 12x. We believe that the Medco addition is a long-term positive and will help mitigate the loss of Walgreen customers.
