text: Hi everyone, First post and I have indeed read up on the FAQ's though I want to put my thoughts down and have them critiqued by the community. I was going to go down the Thecus path though due to a small budget (I could only afford a N2200+) I've decided to reuse some old components and build an awesome FreeNAS setup. FreeNAS: 8.2 Beta 2 (though I'm hoping by the time I complete the build 8.2 RTM is out) running on a high speed USB 2.0 memory stick Case: An old ANTEC NSK6500 (this has 5x 3.5" internal drive bays, sitting behind 2x 92mm ANTEC tri-speed fans) Case Mod: Drill two large (~70mm) ports in the cases plastic front immediately infront of the fans, possibly add short (10mm) PVC ports, add home made dust filters using flyscreen. PSU: ANTEC Earthwatts 380W 80+ Motherboard: Gigabyte AM2 mATX (sorry, model number escapes me!) CPU: AMD 5000+ (2x 2.6Ghz), 65W, underclocked to 2Ghz and undervolted Memory: 4GB DDRII 667Mhz Hard drives: RAIDZ1 5x 2TB drives Project aims: 1. DNLA to PS3 2. Single storage location for approximately 10 machines, a mix of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Ubuntu variants, Ubuntu Server, CentOS 6.2 3. Users to support: Usually just 1, occassionaly 2 4. Streaming video and music on Android devices (phones and tablets) - if possible My questions: 1. Are my above Project aims achievable? 2. I'm not planning on having an 'always on' system - I'll be powering it on when needed and powering it off when it's not needed. Are there any issues associated with this approach? Is 'wake on LAN' better in this situation (I have had 'wake on LAN' systems before that kept waking up when other machines decided to poll them, for whatever reason) 3. I've noticed a number of people using WD Caviar Green drives, some which Thecus have stated that they do not support. Are this a-ok for FreeNAS or should I stick to WD Blues or Seagate drives? Is there a FAQ in hard drives? 4. I'm eventually wanting to add a USB3.0 PCIe card and external USB3 drives, such as 2x 4TB Seagate USB3 drives (matching the 8TB usable of my RAIDZ1). These will turn on when the PC turns on (at least I hope that function is supported in the drives). What's the best way to snapshot/backup to the USB3.0 drives to provide disaster recovery? 5. Is CPU speed really important? I have a 1.9Ghz single core Sempron (45W TDP) that I can drop in - will I notice any drop in performance over an unclocked (to 2x 2Ghz) dual core AM2 5000+? Thanks everyone!

Our eastside Tasting Group got together for our regular monthly tasting. Justin Wells a sommelier and chef, was the host of this event and picked the theme and put together a heck of a meal to enjoy with the fine wines that everyone brought. The whites were mostly uninspiring but the reds were pretty spectacular except for the two off bottles, sadly, both were Insignias. Thanks to Justin for a great choice of a theme with one of the more memorable flights in recent memory; and also for the top notch food accompaniments.
2004 Venge Spetro Blanco – Chard/SB/Marsanne – pleasant and serviceable. 86 points
2005 Scholium Project "Naucratus" Lost Slough Vineyard (Sonoma) – this was one of the more interesting white wines I have tried in the past month. Tropical notes of tangerine and white peach. On the palate this was decadent with layers of off-dry nectarine and apricot flavors delivered with a super smooth texture and a good dose of acidity to keep it all in synch. A nice discovery! 92+ points
2001 Dehlinger Estate Chardonnay – toasty vanilla and not much atypical about this "same old" CA Chard. Note to self: stop buying their Chards! 85 points
1998 Kistler Sonoma Coast – Yawn! Some really liked this a lot, I found it just a tad better than the above juice with the major difference emanating from the aromas that were very enjoyable. Smooth and balanced but too much vanilla extract. Not my style. 88 points
1992 Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet – bring back the CA stuff! Slightly green note with coconut and other tropical aromas. On the palate there was nothing nice to say. I had a sip an hour before the tasting and this was better, but still not even as good as the Kistler. 84 points
Onto the first of four red flights:
1997 Opus One – I am not a fan of this winery, the wines or the prices they sell for. That said, blind tasting is a humbling equalizer. This may just be the best Opus One I have had. Lots of folks diss on this wine, big time. I don't care, and from this tasting ... I don't understand what's not to like. We must have had a great bottle, because EVERYONE in the group, (very diverse and a few who DO NOT almost ever drink CA reds) really liked this wine! Initially tightly wound on the nose, with a half hour in the glass, this opened nicely to offer up tobacco, mocha, tar and saddle leather. It really delivered early and often on the palate with lush plum and cassis fruit and a peppery nuance.. The tannins were soft and overall the wine was powerful with a good length to the enticing aftertaste. 94 points
1997 Mount Veeder Reserve – funky nose with a charred note, some medicinal essence and someone mentioned a lactic aroma which was spot on. Nonetheless, the flavor profile was significantly better, delivering soft and smooth, very ripe blackberry and dark cherry that was as tasty as it was texturally pleasing. I like this a lot and given the dusty, lively tannins this has a long life ahead of it. 93 points
1994 Beringer Alluvium – A wild nose on this one with spearmint, tar, cherry and chocolate and a slight plastic note too. Young and bright fruit, this seemed the youngest of the three. Its strong point was the overall harmony of the elements. Dark cherry-centric with gripping tannins and dense almost jammy fruit. My least favorite of the flight as the mid-palate was hollow and this was a bit simplistic, even though it tasted good. 89 points
2nd red flight – a nice assemblage of CA classics
1994 Dominus – I haven't had this since November and every time I do get to drink it, I love it. I was thinking Dominus or Togni upon first sips as this was very reminiscent of an earthy Bordeaux with great fruit. Slightly green and bretty stink with some bandaid that was actually a heck of a lot more enjoyable than it sounds. This was a perfectly balanced wine that reminds me of the Haut Brion style of symmetry and approachability. Dark purple fruits are singing here with round and generous delivery. A fabulous and complex, somewhat drying finish that kept me thinking and smacking my lips. 94+ points is probably stingy here.
1994 Montelena – Not the best example of this bottling I've had, but it fleshed out with time. Intriguing aromas had to be coaxed and the pine resin and plum were powerful. Initially a bit Port like with a prune and plum purple profile that was supported by ripe juicy fruit and almost jammy, while showing some youth. Mild mannered and the finish was quite a bit shorter than the others in this flight. 92 points
1995 Dalla Valle – If Eric had been here, he would have let out an "OMFG" and other choice adjectives. Now this is 100% Cab and just an outstanding expression of the typicity of the grape. I loved the nose of wintergreen, cedary tobacco leaf with vibrant dark berry accents. Dense and almost chewy but brimming with power and elegance too. Multi-layered, concentrated black fruits that are stylish and providing gorgeous persistence on the loaded and ever lasting finish. This is still a baby with a great long life ahead! 96 points
3rd red flight – one of the greatest CA Cab flights I have had in a long while
1995 Dalla Valle Maya – I am glad this was not side by side with the regular bottling but since I had some still in one of my glasses, it was easy to go back for comparison sake. The 45% Cab Franc makes a significant difference stylistically and this is atypical, as Justin mentioned that Maya normally has about 75% Cab Franc, if I heard him correctly. I remember loving the '94 a few years ago and don't get to taste many Mayas. It smelled great on the nose which was packed with herbal, tar and somewhat grapy notes. Chewy, big and intensely structured plum and cassis fruit, this is a cellar worthy monster that is voluptuous and slutty at the same time. An extraordinary finish to boot. 95+ points
1997 Shafer Hillside Select – Jeez, lifting this bottle felt like the weight of a frickin' bowling ball. The darkest wine of the night so far, this is a youngster and had to be a '97. Polished aromas of coffee bean, raspberry and cocoa puffs deliver the goods early on. It's hard to take my nose out of the glass. If you own more than one bottle, you owe it to yourself to open one soon to experience the vibrancy of this wine at this stage. Silky and sexy mouth feel this is a real babe in plum paradise with blackberry and cocoa to round out the picture. As much fun as this is to drink now, you can feel comfortable revisiting it in a decade too. Every bit as big as the '94 and just a step or two below the '99 SHS. 96+ points.
1996 Shafer Hillside Select – I have only had this particular vintage once before and that was part of a vertical. I don't remember it standing out like this bottle did. A massively extracted and concentrated wine that is coming into its own, this provides all the drinking pleasure you could ask out of a CA Cab with a decade of age on it. I preferred it to the '97 and again, this was being tasted blind. I started out with 96 points and upgraded my score to 98 points by the end of the night, as I kept this in my glass and it kept changing, for the better. The structure was a bit more solid and the tannins showed more prominently than the above wine. The nose was crazy with chocolate malted milkballs, cassis and black currants swirling and evolving over hours in the glass. This was more muscular and showy than the '97 with an even longer finish, if that is possible. 98 points and clearly my RWOTN
4th flight – I expected the best was saved for last and had no idea how the heck it would surpass the last flight. Simply … it didn't have a chance.
1997 Insignia – CORKED and tears were shed when we found out what it was. Underlying the TCA there was some really beautiful fruit but the nose and palate just were not right and all agreed. Damn!
1994 Insignia – I knew this was coming to the party and realized it was in the last flight when it did not show up earlier. Sadly, this was an off bottle. I love this wine every single time, until now. There was a distinct Ajax cleanser aroma which was distracting and it was bolstered by some nice anise and high toned Eucalyptus. On the palates it was lighter than any '94 Insig I have ever tasted and showed some coffee, plum and blueberry flavors. Something just wasn't right. I gave it a 92 point score, but it really deserves a n/r!
1997 Pride Claret – I thought this was some type of a ringer. This seemed to be a much lighter bodied wine, although in reality it was medium weight. (Insignias not included) It was certainly less extracted than almost any other red this evening. It also lacked the density and concentration of fruit that the others all showed. A brown sugar note along with some dusty black cherry made for a complex aromatic profile. I appreciated the approachability of this wine and it showed very good balance with bright acidity that stood out. Yet with all the great Cab based wines we had, this paled in comparison to almost all the others. 92 points
We had a number of dessert wines, some forgettable while the ones here were worth noting and Justin had made a great pear tartlet from scratch, which was outstanding. It was designed to pair with:
1989 Schloss-Schonborn Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg Auslese Riesling – Amber with a touch of petrol but more so, beeswax and over-ripe pineapple delivered an ultra-complex and ethereal nose. This wine was at its apogee and was uncorked at the perfect stage of life. Elegant and actually delicate in its light bodied presence palate. Just slightly lacking the zingy acidity that would have raised the bar and my point score by 2-3 points. Nonetheless this was a delicious German seductress. 94 points
1981 Hopler Noble Reserve – I have had a few of these recently and this was the best showing, yet still not that great. Some burned sugar, apricot and an orange marmalade note provided a better nose than this delivered on the palate. Light in body and acid, the flavor profile was good but devoid of the structure necessary after the Auslese above. 89 points
1950 Barbeito "Faja dos Padres" Terrantez Madeira – I loved this rarity. I'll let others comment, as my formal tasting note will encompass a week's worth of tasting this bottle.

Editors' review
Foxit Reader is one of the best free PDF tools available. It's a full-featured PDF solution that can open, edit, print, sign, and, yes, create fully compatible PDFs. It's fast, light, secure, and easy on system resources; yet it leaves nothing out. It integrates with context menus in Windows (XP to 8) as your default PDF tool, but Foxit Reader works alongside other PDF software, including Adobe Reader. But Foxit is no Adobe clone; in fact, many users prefer it to Adobe and other PDF programs, free or not. Recent updates to Foxit Reader 6 include improved support for Eastern Asian languages. Some of Foxit Reader's PDF creation features require Microsoft Word 2003 or better.
Foxit Reader's attractive, well-configured user interface has an Office-style Ribbon toolbar, but a standard menu bar instead of a "Start" button. Foxit Reader's look definitely leans more toward Office apps than Adobe's products; for all that they have similar capabilities. We've relied on Foxit Reader as our default PDF solution for years, and it's performed like a champion. But let's cut to the chase -- creating PDFs with Foxit. There's nothing to it, actually. Click "File," then "Create," and then choose one of four options: "From File," "Scanner," "Clipboard," or "Blank." We clicked "Blank" and named and saved our new PDF. Next we clicked "Typewriter" on the Comment tab and entered some text, pasted some data, and saved our file. But Adobe Reader couldn't open it, at least not until it downloaded and installed support for the Chinese characters in the document (which Foxit handled natively). Once that was accomplished, Adobe Reader could open and edit the document, normally.
For all their similar capabilities, there's no real comparison between Foxit Reader and Adobe Reader. Foxit's real competition isn't Adobe Reader but Adobe Acrobat. Like Acrobat, Foxit Reader can create PDFs. Adobe Reader can't do that on its own. But Acrobat retails for $70 to $100. Foxit's free, though you do need Word for some of Foxit's features. Foxit has premium upgrades, too. But the free Foxit Reader more than meets most users' needs.

Garden Before & After: Carolyn's Pretty Natural Pond Pool Garden
The Gardenist
Carolyn Chadwick is a master of making beautiful feminine gardens -- one of my all time favorite dream gardens was designed by her and it resides in the Greek isles. This garden, which also brings to mind Mediterranean delights, resides in Cologne, Germany.
Not only is the design beautiful, but I feel I must point out a few details that make this a real masterpiece. First, that pool is not a chemical laden bath it is in fact a natural pond-pool, which means that rather than using chlorine or other chemicals to keep the water clean and pure, the filtration system is natural and the planting that you see around the pool is what is cleaning the water. This technology is not common here in the US but is considerably more common in European countries. If you are in market for a pool or pond and wish to forgo the chem-bath, check out Bio Nova Pools -- one of the few US companies working in this area.
The second thing is that olive tree. Transplanting ancient olive trees has been a strong trend in modern European garden design for many years. The trees are typically sourced from Italy and come at a considerable price. If you want to try and create the same look here in the US, you will have to make sure you can protect the tree either by being in a climate that will support it (many arid western states work well), or by creating a sheltered micro-climate for the tree. A great source for old olive trees in the US is Ancient Olive Trees. It is not common for trees to be routinely successful transplants when they are at advanced ages, but olives have a unique root structure that enables them to transplant well -- even when they are very old.
It is a nice trick to be able to create patina in a new garden. Typically furniture and accessories create any semblance of a time honored feeling in a young garden. The 'after' pictures in this garden are only 2 years after the place was built, but I think the tree and the paving detail both lend this garden a permanence that new gardens often tend to lack. The paving that combines concrete with cobbles in a haphazard way, makes the garden appear to have a more layered and built over time appearance. I am a firm believer that the best gardens are places that tell stories and aren't too perfect.
This has me thinking about of other possible ways to create instant garden patina....any suggestions?

BEAUTIFUL. I feel relaxed just looking at that pool.
Wowzer!! That's all kinds of gorgeous! Love a long-lean simple pool. I'm in the middle of a patio landscape redo and found that by adding more "fluffer" type plants like palms and large leafy plants in pots makes a HUGE impact. Really helps gather the space and finish things off around the edges.
I would kill for the before!
Not in favor of the low greenery to cement ratio, for swimming laps maybe better to join a gym.
I actually prefer the before - as the poster above says, too much cement vs. greenery. Although in all fairness, I would kill for either of these.
Olive trees are water sucks. Avoid planting them in any arid zone in the U.S.
Another vote for the 'before.'
The hard edges and angles of the pool detract from the serenity of the garden, IMO.
Prefer the before. The after is really grey...I think that you can have the pool without all the cement around and put some "greens" on the blank grey wall of the pool.
I wouldn't say that the before is necessarily better... I think it depends on your tastes. The before was unkempt but it was ripe for a romantic feel. The after is a modern version of the space, and while it has romantic touches, like another commenter said, the sharp angles keep it more impressive than dreamy. For me, it just seemed too busy/harsh to strike a harmonic balance between modern and romantic. The flooring is an obvious example. The greenery another, it's so varied and sprouting from everywhere, there's no rhythm... and to add to it, the effect is trying so hard to be Capability Brown, until you see the planters they're caged in. Beautifully executed, but poorly designed, I think.
Oh wow. I just totally love this. Probably my dream garden! Can you swim in the pool or is it just for looking at? Either way. Man, just peaceful and swank and gorgeous.
I think I might like the 'after' better if I had never seen the 'before'. They're both lovely in their own ways (and I really drooled over the pool), but it just seemed so romantic and fairy-friendly before.
Great transformation - i like both the before and the after. Olive trees do not need a lot of water and despite a previous poster saying - they arent water 'sucks'. Ive seen one living in a barrel of sand and rarely watered or given tlc and it thrived. And 'fruited'. There are many many groves in Australia in arid land and they pluss the rest of the trees around them go ganbusters.
I think it would be a total joy to have that water out in the yard, its not overbearing (its clean - so i guess Kity drinks it!) and if you are able to swim/relax in it then all the more special. Bet the friends and neighbours love visiting!

Roy • Layton forward Jarriesse Blackmon took the ball to the hole on a fast break in the early moments of the game. He rose into the air, then crumpled, grabbing his leg as he slid on his back near the baseline. He exited the game with a grimace, limping off with the help of two trainers.
Perhaps the Lancers still would have beaten Roy had the junior forward not re-entered the game. But when he strode back onto the floor late in the first quarter, it proved to be the end for the Royals, though that of course wouldnt become clear until the final minutes.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Blackmon's 20 points, combined with guard play that forced several mistakes, were enough for the Lancers to keep the Royals at arm's length throughout the second half in a 64-52 win Friday evening.
For Blackmon, who speaks often of proving himself, Friday presented a prime opportunity. He went head-to-head with one of the state's best players, Roy forward Brekkott Chapman, and came out on top. Chapman finished with 15 points after spending much of the first half in foul trouble.
"Brekkott is an amazing player, and who doesnt want to come out here against the best player in the state, probably? Blackmon said. ... Getting the honors to guard him tonight was a big honor, and I wanted to make my seniors proud.
Layton also got splendid play from guards Malcom Petty and Julian Blackmon. After the Lancers fell behind 9-0, Petty and Blackmon forced a barrage of Royals turnovers, leading to transition scores. By the end of the first half, the game was in Layton control.
"They're gonna be the reason why we win region, Jarriesse Blackmon said of the guards. They're going to be the reason why were going to go to state
Though it was just a preseason game, the win was not insignificant for the Lancers. Coming off a disappointing performance at the Riverton Holiday Tournament, the Lancers came in knowing the could prove to be a steadying force heading into league play.
"I just really feel like the way we played in that tournament wasn't really Layton High basketball, Blackmon said. It wasn't the basketball we've been playing most of the season. During that tournament, there were times that we slipped. I'm just glad we were able to get ourselves together for this game.

MED15/382: Co-operative Interface in Medical Education on the WWW
C Courtin; P Le Beux
PROTIMES - Faculté de Médecine, Rennes, France
ABSTRACTHospitals deal with a huge volume of medical information shared by multidisciplinary staff. The management and circulation of this information require massive computerization. This medical computerization, associated with the Internet technological progress, has given birth to many software applications in the educational field. In the context of medical virtual university, the World Wide Web intrinsic interactive and asynchronous functionality has to be extended to become co-operative and in real-time. In the context of our virtual medical university in Rennes, we have worked on a system, called CSCWeb, allowing implementation of synchronous co-operative functionality through multi-platform graphical interfaces on the Web. This project is motivated by the use of existing computer-based equipment in most of medical schools. The CSCWeb system is designed to be easily upgraded by Java programmers. It allows to re-use generic co-operative graphical tools, such as textual chat, and to develop specific graphical tools well-suited to application fields. In the CSCWeb system, the participants of a co-operative session give automatic individual access to the multimedia medical information. This distributed access avoids the bottleneck generally caused by multimedia data volume in centralized systems. The system handles only internal and external data. The former are commands which allow to play remotely the same sequence of graphical events of the local user's interface. The latter are additional medical information, such as comments, definition of region of interest on a X-ray, etc. These internal and external data are textual (comments, co-ordinates, etc.), and represent a small volume of data to transfer between participants. Furthermore, these commands are only dependent on graphical objects (button, frame, etc) whatever their use is (color selector, etc). Therefore, the use of commands allows easy extension of co-operative functionality to any kind of data, such as video, without increasing the charge of the CSCWeb mechanism. Only individual access to the new type of data will be affected by its volume according to the network bandwidth. Our first purpose was to check the feasibility of our strategic choices. To date, we have implemented an educational prototype including a group management interface which is a built-in co-operative graphical tool, and a whiteboard which is a generic one. The resulting system has been evaluated, on intranet in the Laboratory of Medical Computing in Rennes (France), in terms of implementation and working performance. This evaluation is encouraging to extend the CSCWeb system for co-diagnosis in medical practice. As it is platform independent, the CSCWeb system is well-adapted to almost all medical units' computer-based equipment.

The state Department of Health and Human Services has created new high-salaried positions in its central office this year and is paying some top executives more than their predecessors even as the agencys full-time payroll and average salary have declined.
The department hired its first chief financial officer, Rod Davis in June, at a salary of $169,148. About six weeks earlier, the agencys budget director, Jim Slate, received a $30,660 raise, to $144,000.
Joe Cooper, the information technology chief hired this year to be in charge of the agencys computer systems, makes $175,000, about $20,000 more than Chris Estes, the information technology chief for the state.
High-level administrators, including the state Medicaid director and the departments internal auditor, make more than the people they replaced.
The department is being reorganized to resemble a corporate structure, DHHS spokesman Ricky Diaz said, adding that the new positions help establish clear lines of oversight and accountability. The agency filled the new executive positions with people who could make much more in private business, he said.
The emphasis is implementing a reorganization of the department of this size to reflect what youd find in the private sector, Diaz said. The state agency has a 16,000-member full-time workforce.
Public focus has been on DHHS after news reports revealed that Diaz and another 24-year-old staffer, chief policy officer Matt McKillip, received hefty raises this past spring that brought their salaries to $85,000 and $87,500, respectively.
House Minority Leader Larry Hall, a Durham Democrat, is calling for a legislative committee meeting Sept. 3 so lawmakers can discuss the pay increases and promotions. Legislators are returning to Raleigh that day to consider overriding Gov. Pat McCrorys two vetoes.
The Republicans just passed a budget that fired thousands of educators and provided no pay raises to teachers or rank-and-file state employees, Hall said in a statement. At the same time, Governor McCrorys administration is passing out huge pay raises to former campaign staffers with little to no experience in the jobs theyve been given. The public is outraged, and they should be. The General Assembly has a responsibility to hold a public committee meeting and ask the governors administration for a public explanation of hiring processes and their use of taxpayer money.
In an interview, Hall said McCrory set the trend for high salaries when he gave his Cabinet members raises in January with no idea what kind of job theyd do.
Are we getting what were paying for? Hall asked. It seems in this administration, theres no articulable standard, he said not the market rate or what the state has to pay to be competitive.
People are hiring people they know or have some type of political relationship with that now get put in positions at higher salaries, Hall said.
Breaking new salary ground
DHHS under McCrory has been breaking new ground on salaries throughout the agency under the leadership of Dr. Aldona Wos, the agencys secretary. (McCrory frequently mentions that Wos is working for $1 a year.)
Medicaid director Carol Steckel was hired at a $210,000 salary this year, though the states new salary plan caps pay for that job at $136,900. Agencies are allowed to pay employees more than the salary plan allows for the job if they have extra credentials such as medical or law degrees, according to the state Office of Human Resources.
Steckel is not a doctor or lawyer and makes about $48,000 more than her immediate predecessor, Michael Watson, who was in the job for about a year. The state Medicaid director from 2009-2012, Dr. Craigan Gray, had medical, law and business degrees and made $270,000 a year.
Diaz said the agency received permission from the Office of State Personnel to pay Steckel more than state maximum for the job, based on her experience.
Wos said in an interview earlier this year she recruited Steckel because she wanted the best person to lead the office and found in Steckel someone with a national reputation. Steckel worked for the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, helping to coordinate the states response to the Affordable Care Act. She also spent six years as the Commissioner of the Alabama Medicaid Agency, and is a former president of the National Association of Medicaid Directors. She is spearheading the departments plan to transform the health insurance plan for the poor, elderly and disabled to a managed care plan.
The new internal auditor, Chet Spruill is being paid $155,000 a year, about $44,000 more than his predecessor and more than State Auditor Beth Wood, whose salary is set by state law, or any of Woods top deputies.
The state pay plan for auditors and financial investigators sets a top salary at $140,382 for the deputy state auditor. The current deputy state auditor makes less than that.
Diaz said Spruill is being paid as a fiscal executive, which has a maximum salary of $169,148. DHHS announced this month that its internal office staff would grow from eight to 40 people, with the department using unfilled jobs in other areas to beef up auditing staff.
Need for effective leaders
High salaries at DHHS are a concern for some lawmakers who worry about spiraling increases.
I have a question about public servants getting paid that much, said Rep. Duane Hall, a Raleigh Democrat. I hate to see these exorbitant salaries when there are huge cuts to all sorts of social services.
The DHHS payroll is about $21.9 million less than it was a year ago, Diaz said.
We are driving efficiency, he said.
Most of the agencys employees work in psychiatric hospitals, centers for developmentally disabled people or alcohol and drug treatment centers throughout the state. The agency has 50 fewer full-time employees than it did in September, and the average full-time salary has dropped from $41,685 to $41,612, according to data from the state Office of Human Resources.
Rep. Nelson Dollar, a Cary Republican and a chief budget writer, said making sure the agency has effective leaders that will untangle problems at the agency is a bigger concern than their salaries.
The greater concern is going to be, can these people produce, can they solve some of the very serious, chronic long-term problems weve had with the agency, Dollar said. If they can do that, Im sure theyll be worth their keep.
Legislators for years have been frustrated trying to find the people responsible for specific problems, Dollar said. Increased accountability at the agency may be put to the test next month, when a legislative health and human services oversight committee convenes. No date has been set for a meeting, but Dollar expects legislators will ask how the agency is carrying out a host of new laws and about problems with new computer systems that pay Medicaid claims to health care companies and provide food assistance for needy people.

Diabetes Warning Signs: What You Don't Know Could Kill You
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - There are 25.8 million people in the United States with diabetes, that's about one in every twelve people. Diabetes is often called the silent killer because there can be no warning signs, or signs you didn't know to look out for. Researchers reveal diabetes symptoms you need to know to take control of your health.
Shannon Lyles is a registered nurse, diabetes educator, and was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at 16 after she realized something was really wrong.
"I was getting up four, five, six times a night and it just kept progressively getting worse," Shannon P. Lyles, BSN, RN, CDE, Registered Nurse Specialist, University of Florida, Pediatric Endocrinology, told Ivanhoe.
"Typical features are polydipsia, meaning drinking too much, and polyuria, urinating too much," Desmond Schatz, MD, Professor and Associate Chairman of Pediatrics, Medical Director, Diabetes Center, University of Florida College of Medicine, told Ivanhoe.
Dr. Schatz said those are two common signs of diabetes, but there are lesser known symptoms we shouldn't ignore.
"A child, for example, who's been potty trained and then suddenly starts wetting the bed at night. Constipation may occur in addition, particularly in those patients who are under the age of ten, and the appearance of recurrent boils on the skin," Dr. Schatz explained.
Also, look for changes in a child's energy.
"We certainly can explain it in babies with diapers, but if a five or six year old develops recurrent vaginal infections, you should think about diabetes," Dr. Schatz said.
Call it a twist of fate or mere coincidence, but Dr. Schatz diagnosed Shannon over a decade ago and today they partner up in the fight against diabetes.
"It's forever. So, it's never going away unless they come up with a cure," Shannon said.
CDC numbers show that there are 25.8 million people in the U.S. with diabetes and seven million have not been diagnosed yet. Alarming statistics, but doctors remain optimistic.
"There's always hope," Dr. Schatz said.
Adults should be aware of high blood pressure, kidney damage, nerve damage, and if left undiagnosed the result could be fatal.
BACKGROUND: Diabetes, often called diabetes mellitus, is a group of diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because of inadequate insulin production or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. Patients who have high blood sugar typically have polyuria (frequent urination), hungry, and they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia). The three types of diabetes include type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Patients with type 1 do not produce insulin, so they will have to take insulin injections for the rest of their lives. Those with type 2, which is about 90 percent of all cases, do not produce enough insulin for proper function, or the cells in the body do not react to insulin. Gestational diabetes affects women during pregnancy. Some have high glucose levels in their blood and their bodies cannot produce enough insulin to transport the glucose into their cells. (Source: www.medicalnewstoday.com)
A METABOLISM DISORDER: Diabetes is classed as a metabolism disorder. Metabolism refers to the way our bodies use digested food for energy and growth. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. When food is digested, it makes it way to the bloodstream. The cells use glucose to grow, but glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin. Someone with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too high. This is because the body either does not make enough insulin, produces no insulin at all, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces. This will result in too much blood glucose. The excess will eventually pass out of the body in urine. So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements. (Source: www.medicalnewstoday.com)
CHILDREN AND DIABETES: A common myth about children with diabetes is that they will outgrow it. Nearly all children with diabetes have type 1 (insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas have been destroyed). These never come back. Children with type 1 diabetes will need to take insulin for the rest of their lives, until a cure is found. So, be proactive and resourceful. For example, link the school nurse to a diabetes educator who can help train and educate teachers about diabetes or discuss the Diabetes Medical Management Plan provided by your child's health care provider and work together to develop a plan for school including: blood glucose checks, insulin administration, emergency situations, and snacks and meals.

Woodworker's Journal
"I just got back from the woodworking show in St. Louis. Even though my weekend was a very pleasing visit with some good friends, the show was a major disappointment. Every year they just get worse." - Doug
"I agree with you. There wasn't much to throw your money at. I bought an accessory pack for the Fein and could have gotten it for the same price at my local [woodworking store]." - Terry
"We were in the market for a high-end scroll saw for my wife, but prices for almost everything were cheaper online, especially when you consider sales tax. This year, we were going to go, but when the alarm went off, I shut it off and went back to sleep. Don't think we missed anything. That's too bad." - Guy
"I go to the shows to see new tools demonstrated, sit in a few classes and spend some money. As far as special prices go, they would be wonderful, too. But I would pay a few bucks more to take it home with me and make dust that afternoon. Before I plop down a couple grand on a new table saw I am going to put my hands on different models, and the shows are the best place to do that. It would be a pity if they stopped having them, but if the vendors are not there I have little reason to go." - John
While many agreed that the vendor situation is worse, some pointed out that it is education rather than bargains that they hope to gain. - Editor
"As everyone has mentioned, not many bargains anymore. I think the Internet has all but taken care of that. Watching the demos and attending the classes in hopes of picking up something new is what's going to drive future shows." - Gary
"Bargains? The bargains are the tons of free classes. I do attend with my shopping list, and if there is something that I can't find elsewhere or is at a better price, then I purchase that, but that isn't my main reason to attend. For me, it is a day to share my hobby with my wife, visit with some old friends and make some new friends, and I am looking forward to the next one." Fred
"I mainly go for the classes, and for a chance to touch and play with some of the tools that I would otherwise not be able to see." David
"I have attended the Indy show now for about five years. Every year it gets smaller and smaller. I still enjoy it, though. Really liked the free seminars and experts there. Where else can you see so many experts for eight bucks?" - Jeff
For some, even that was slipping. - Editor
"Disappointing. To me, the shows are a learning opportunity. The cabinetmaking course did not follow the format in the promo. It basically just became a bunch of people standing around the presenter who was showing off his stuff. Last year, went all three days. This year, stayed less than four hours. Sorry to blast the show, but it has become less and less each year. Not worth it." - Herb
"I went to a woodworking show this year and saw exactly the same classes, with the same instructors and same content, as I'd seen the year before! And the year before that, too!" - Scott
Before long, nostalgia reared its head as one reader spoke fondly of a past show. - Editor
"The show I miss the most was the old American Woodworker show before they became Reader's Digest. I attended a couple of those in Ontario and thought there were good prices to be had and a lot to see." - Brian
At one point, an insider chimed in to add some explanation, perspective and hope. Editor
"I have been on both sides of the fence. I rented booths and tried to sell my tools and have enjoyed going to the shows as a customer. Now, I am a paid trainer for Delta power tools and I am doing shows across the country. The bargain days are over. There is no more room in margins for heavy discounts, and with Amazon and other web companies keeping the prices so low, you will not find any bargains at the shows. Go to the shows and enjoy yourself. Seek and learn. Spend some time with friends and enjoy being with other woodworkers sharing your hobby. The education being offered is a tremendous value; well worth the paid admission. Give the shows a chance and support them, for I believe that they will get better." Mike

Tremor is a disorder of neurology and more specifically in the area of Parkinson disease and other movement disorders. Tremor refers to an involuntary movement consisting of rhythmic alternating movements around one or more joints. It can occur in many body areas and has many causes. A complete medical and neurological evaluation helps to identify the cause of tremor in an individual patient. Treatment can vary widely depending on the cause or individual factors.
The more common causes of tremor evaluated by our movement disorders team include:
At Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, our faculty have the expertise to distinguish between the different types of tremor. The best treatment depends first on discovering the cause. For example, Parkinson tremor usually improves with dopamine-related drugs. Enhanced physiologic tremor may improve with treatment of the offending medical condition or withdrawal of the culprit drug. Essential tremor may respond to a number of treatments, including propranolol, primidone and others. Cerebellar tremor can be difficult to treat.
Our faculty members work in collaboration to diagnose both simple and complex tremor disorders. Some patients with severe tremor may be successfully treated with botulinum toxin injections or surgical procedures such as deep brain stimulation.
Our multidisciplinary team includes eight expert movement disorders neurologists, an adult psychiatrist, a neuropsychologist, three nurses, a videographer and numerous support staff.
Our physicians are also researchers who are actively studying investigative approaches for tremors. For more information about current clinical trials, visit our Clinical Trials section.

GOOD MORNING DELMARVA - A few months before he was assassinated, President John F. Kennedy made a historic trip to Europe, which included his ancestors' homeland in Ireland.
The event left an indelible impression on the Gaelic country, which recently hosted the nationwide anniversary celebration "JFK 50: The Homecoming." Invited guests included the Kennedy family, singer-songwriger Judy Collins, Riverdance choreographer Michael Flatley … and Salisbury University voice instructor John Wesley Wright.
A singer with the American Spiritual Ensemble, Wright joined three other hand-selected members of the group during four days of performances for the high-profile celebration. His one-of-a-kind experience was made possible by Dr. Pearse Lyons, owner and president of international company Alltech.
Born in Ireland and now living in Kentucky, Lyons is a supporter of the American Spiritual Ensemble. When he learned of plans for the 50th anniversary celebration, he recommended the group because of its musical excellence and symbolic representation of Kennedy's support for civil rights. They sang songs that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and others used to punctuate meetings and demonstrations in the 1960s, including "Walk Together, Children" and "I Know I've Been Changed."
Wright and his colleagues began their whirlwind tour shortly after landing in Ireland, joining a community chorus outside Dublin for a cultural exchange concert that evening. The next morning brought a performance on an Irish radio show featuring a panel of Kennedy experts. They then were guests at a 280-person dinner held in the Kennedys' honor. Afterward, once all the clinking of glasses and silverware had stopped, they performed for what, by the standards set the next day, was an intimate crowd.
"All the Kennedys were sitting three feet from me," Wright recalled, adding that the ensemble representatives received accolades from Kennedy's daughter, Caroline.
On Saturday, June 22, some 15,000 gathered before a stage at the Kennedy Monument in New Hope, Ireland, where the president had spoken five decades prior, for the main event of this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
"The magnitude felt like that of our presidential inauguration," said Wright.
Millions watched the nationally televised ceremony as representatives from the Peace Corps, Special Olympics and others carried a fire that originated with a torch lit from the Eternal Flame at Kennedy's graveside at Arlington National Cemetery. Irish Prime Minister Edna Kenny joined the president's sister, Jean Kennedy Smith, and Caroline Kennedy in lighting Ireland's own version of the Eternal Flame, the Emigrant Flame, inside an iron globe.
Ireland, Wright noted, is "a singing nation." The crowd sang along with Collins during her performances and, following the lead of former Maryland Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, all 15,000 in attendance stood and joined the American Spiritual Ensemble in a powerful post-slavery song used heavily during the civil rights era, "Oh, Freedom." Most Irish may not have experienced the slave conditions that gave birth to American spirituals, but the historical hardships their country has suffered helped them understand, Wright said.
The ceremony culminated as Wright and others joined Collins in a heartfelt rendition of "Amazing Grace." As Collins clutched Wright's hand, a squadron of Irish Air Corps jets flew in formation, with one breaking off from the group to symbolize the loss of Kennedy.
"It was one of the most touching things I've ever experienced," said Wright.
He was not the only one who thought so. Afterward, he and other members of the ensemble were recognized by Irish citizens who had attended the ceremony or watched it on television. From the cab driver who drove them back to their hotel to men gathered in a nearby pub, nearly everyone had the same reaction.
"They would say, 'Irish men don't share their pain … but you moved me,'" said Wright.

Holds release party on Friday at The Avenue Viera
By Meagan McGone
BREVARD -- Things are going to spice up in Brevard this weekend, as one flamenco artist will release his new CD at The Avenue Viera.
On Friday, Dec. 21, from 6 to 9 p.m., Don Soledad will debut his second album, "Soluna," during a free CD release party at The Avenue Viera.
The style of music featured on the new album is contemporary flamenco, a popular genre of Spanish music. The album also has a new age classical influence, Mr. Soledad said.
"My vision for this album was to show the more traditional side of my playing, compared to my last album, which was more Rumba style," he said. "I also wanted to incorporate modern elements that I enjoy in other music. I feel that I was able to capture those factors in this album."
He said that his inspiration for "Soluna" stemmed from special people and experiences in his life.
"A few songs have been years in the making, while others only took a few days to compose," he said. "I guess it just depends on what you're going through in your life at the time when you are composing. One thing is for sure: Music is much easier to write when you're going through some hardship or drama in your life."
Mr. Soledad and his band, the Don Soledad Group, typically play at Costa D'Esta, a resort in Vero Beach owned by the seven-time Grammy-award winning singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan. But at the release party, the band will play alongside other talented artists featured on the CD.
"I'm very excited to put on this show, as I will have my full band performing, as well as the new addition of musicians that played on the new album," Mr. Soledad said.
In addition to playing at Costa D'Esta, the band regularly plays at Matt's Casbah in Historic Downtown Melbourne, as well as Wolfgang Puck in Downtown Disney and Vinz Wine Bar in Vero Beach.
Soledad released his first album in 2006, entitled "Camino de Seda." It was inspired by special places where he grew up in Northern California.
He said that making music can be a challenge, though he finds it rewarding.
"I think what makes music, in general, unique is the personality each artist evokes into their own sound," Mr. Soledad said. "The difference between a musician and an artist is that an artist creates, and a musician copies, and some do it very well. To me, it's much more difficult to find your own way successfully than to copy what others have done before. A friend of mine actually called me one night, while driving home from his gig in Orlando. He said, 'I heard your song on the radio tonight, and I knew it was you before they even announced your name.' And to me, that's what makes it all worth it."

Purely frivolous and perfectly harmless snark and admiration for all things stylish and royal.
I love that so many of you come here and really get this spirit: we can have fun, we can have a bit of snark, but it's all with love/admiration/whatever for these royals that we follow. In that spirit, just to make it official, these are the rules of commenting in the Order:
- Nobody looks good all the time, and nobody looks bad all the time. Equal opportunity praise and snark shall be offered up here.
- Not liking an outfit shouldn't have anything to do with one's personal feelings of like or dislike towards a royal. We all have a tendency to form personal opinions about these people, and sometimes they get quite strong. There are many places on the internet to attack royals you don't care for. This is not one of them.
- All opinions are welcome. You don't have to agree with me or with other commenters. Attacks, however, are not welcome. I'll also drop a reminder here that you can make your point without purposefully aggravating or scolding your fellow commenters - let's treat each other as friends.
- Comments that are not in this spirit, as determined by me, will be deleted without notice. I'll say it again: there are many places on the internet to pick a fight. This isn't one of them.
- Users that leave comments time and again that can not seem to comply with this policy will be prohibited from commenting on this blog.
- Unless otherwise noted in the blog or the comments, off topic comments are usually welcome - though if your topic will be covered in the near future, it may sometimes be deleted in favor of the larger discussion to come.
- And one last rule: let's avoid weight discussions, in either scale direction. Ditto pregnancy speculation. That's no fun at all.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan On Katherine Heigl Leaving 'Grey's': 'I Think It Was A Happy Parting'
Fanboys may know Jeffrey Dean Morgan from his comic book film roles in "Watchmen" and his latest, "The Losers," but primetime TV watchers know him from his turn on "Grey's Anatomy" as Denny Duquette, the doomed love of Katherine Heigl's Izzie.
With the recent news that the actress was leaving the show after six seasons, Jeffrey offered his support at the junket for "The Losers" on Saturday.
"Good for her," he told Access Hollywood. "I think the show will be fine without her and she obviously was ready to move on and do films."
Though Katherine had a publicly volatile relationship with the show at times, Jeffrey told Access he thought it would be an amicable split.
"I think, great for everybody," he said. "I think it was a happy parting."
In "The Losers," an action film focused on a ragtag band of Special Forces soldiers fighting against a maniacal villain to clear their name, Jeffrey has a new love interest in Zoe Saldana — but as with Izzie, it's hardly smooth sailing.
While Izzie wanted to save the sick Denny's life, however, Zoe's Aisha is a mysterious, independent agent who'd just as soon shoot Jeffrey's Lt. Col. Clay as kiss him.
The film is due in theaters on April 23.

Police are warning that some thieves are targeting large appliances and taking them right out of homes.
A furnace and a hot water heater were stolen from a home in Ohio, and two furnaces and a hot water tank were all reported missing in one day in the same area.
"Just because you see somebody at a house for a little while and you see them carrying out large appliance-type items, doesn't necessarily mean they're a legitimate contractor doing some work," warned Sgt. Joe Heffernan of the Toledo Police Department.
Officials say a contractor doing work is exactly what it might look like, so a lot of times potential witnesses don't think anything of it and don't call police.
"Things to look for are does it look like a contractor's vehicle? Is the house that's being worked on vacant at the time?" Heffernan said.
Officials say it's better to be safe than sorry, so if you are at all suspicious, get a description of the people, and try to get their license plate number.
Most of the time this type of crime happens at a vacant or rental home, but there is something police say everyone should do.
"People may not think to record a serial number off of a furnace or a hot water heater, but especially if you're a landlord and you have rental property, you definitely should do that," Heffernan explained.
That way you will be able to prove it is yours if the appliance is recovered later or shows up for sale online.

Space Coaster Marble Run
Sometimes, a toy comes into the office and everyone just sits gawping at it, struggling to remember the time before it arrived. The Space Coaster Marble Run is one such toy - an indescribably cool piece of sci-fi silliness that's part marble run, part physics experiment. After you've constructed it (a pretty epic and rewarding task in itself), simply turn it on, put the two ball bearings in the central shaft and watch them whiz round the rail at breakneck speeds. It's a self-perpetuating Ouroboros of a toy, guaranteed to turn any frown upside-down, and possibly into a vacant stare of wonderment.
There are a number of different routes for the balls to go down and a junction at which they randomly determine it: they will either be sent wheeling around hairpin bends or careering through a rather exciting loop-the-loop section before returning to the bottom of the central shaft, which will lift them to the top again. It's a madcap, self-perpetuating gizmo that will delight kids and adults alike. Perfect for anyone with an interest in science and building things (there's over half a metre of rails to assemble), it's hypnotic, mesmerising and oodles of fun.
- The Space Coaster Marble Run is an amazing, self-perpetuating marble run.
- Great for anyone with an interest in physics. Or marbles.
- Contains over 50 cm of rail to assemble.
- Assembly is quite a task in itself.
- Central spiral shaft lifts balls to the top of the run.
- Balls (2 included) can travel through a series of hairpin bends or through a 360-degree loop.
- Potentially never-ending spectacle (at least while the battery lasts).
- Requires large flat surface.
- Requires 1 x D battery (to power the central shaft, not included).
- H: 36 W: 59 D: 18 cm.

Good, but complex
This is a good product, but it requires a lot of work and a decent amount of patience to build it and get it running smoothly. The instructions are clearly translated from another language and don't often make much sense so this makes the challenge all the greater. I am still tweaking it to get the lift working properly. I would recommend this product, but only for someone who likes an engineering challenge and has the patience to enjoy the building process.

Great fun!
Been looking at this for ages and finally went for it! It's quite fiddly to put together, but extremely satisfying once you complete it. Looks modern and stylish and works brilliantly. Will keep me (and the cats) entertained for hours! Was very impressed by the number of spare parts it comes with.

Takes a while to build but good fun
The instructions for the Space Coaster Marble Run leave a little to be desired but that only adds to the challenge. The rails have to be cut to length by hand but that's easy enough and if you do it after the supports are sussed you'll be fine. Kids love it and you can experiment by leaving ball bearings stationary on the track in the path of oncoming ones so that it acts like a Newton's cradle. Bargain at the price, I've bought two now, one one my son and another for my nephew.
Space Coaster Marble Run
It kept my husband and daughter busy putting it together for a whole evening, with a great deal of discussion. So I had some peace too. Now they plan to modify it....... I've said they aren't allowed to until a young friend of ours has had a go. I can see it going on our holidays as a substitute for the Tomy train set, and this takes up a lot less space in the case. Well worth buying. P.S. He says it would be nice to buy some extra bits to help with the modifications.
Great stuff
This Space Coaster Marble Run is great if you are a big kid. The pieces are clearly marked and extra bits are supplied. The only problem I had with this was being able to understand the instructions to put it together. They don't seem to flow very easily and in some places aren't very clear. One of the pieces was not formed properly. One quick email to the company that makes the Space coaster and the piece was replaced. Other then the instructions this item is great. It is sturdy, easily put together and a great "toy" for the adult that likes to nurture the big kid inside.

Our Ask Tony and Tucker question was sent in after Monday's snowfall. The viewer writes, "At 3:30 am I took the dogs out to the backyard and was amazed at how light it was outside simply because of the white snow on the ground. I could see the winter wonderland from one end of the farm to the other, every tree, bush, building in front of me, and a quarter mile away it was just as clear. It looked like the sun was up. I had to shine a flashlight upward just to tell it was snowing hard because the sky was so dark. It's clearly light reflecting off the snow, but what light is there to reflect at 3:30 am?"

In the first part of this series we talked about the beginning of the KISS relationship with both myself and J.W. Pepper. Here's more to the story.
KISS started as a folk band called Wicked Lester in New York City in 1971. Yes, a folk band. Some of the recordings still survive and a number of them are included as reworked tracks on the releases Kiss, Hotter than Hell and Dressed to Kill. The original five tracks were recorded at Electric Lady, the studio Jimi Hendrix built, responsible for some of the most incredible music in rock history.
Stan Eisen and Gene Klein (before they were Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons) were owed money for session work from their friend Ron Johnson, who was part owner and producer. He offered them money or recording time – they jumped on the recording time, but they needed more money to finish the project. Sometime in late 1971, Dean Burtch, owner and president of J.W. Pepper with a publishing arm called Gladwyne Music, was having lunch with a friend, Peter Thall, who is still a prominent New York-based entertainment lawyer. Dean mentioned he was interested in investing in the pop/rock music market. Peter said he had a producer friend, Ron Johnson, who was really hot for this band he was promoting called Wicked Lester.
In looking through our documents, it looks as though there were actually two separate transactions for the KISS titles. The first was in October of 1972 for the titles "She," "Love Her All I Can," "Simple Type," "Keep Me Waiting" and "Molly." Only two of these songs were finally released by KISS – both "She" and "Love Her All I Can" being released on the Dressed to Kill album. These were penned strictly as Wicked Lester and credited to Gene Klein and Stan Eisen. There is a letter in our records signed by Simmons sharing songwriting credit with Steve Coronel for "She." Coronel has been a lifelong friend of Simmons since 1963.
The second and best-known purchase was in November of 1973 for the titles "Watchin' You," "Deuce," "Strutter," "Black Diamond" and "Cold Gin." We KISS fans know these titles well as they were some of the first songs we heard from them on Alive. They are still staples of KISS live show. These were written by (the now pen-named) Stanley and Simmons with the exception of "Cold Gin" contributed by Ace Frehley.
While digging through the Pepper files, I also found the contract to release these songs on Alive in 1975 along with the actual signatures of Stan Eisen and Gene Klein in pen on the original contracts for them. These were real pieces of rock music history that I held in my hands.
In the next and last segment, we outline twelve discovered songs and our final thoughts.

MADISON, Ind. (WHAS11) -- Before any game at Rucker Sports Complex in Madison, Ind., a new conduct policy will be read. The Parks Department put the policy in place after a culmination of bad behavior from parents in recent weeks.
The policy, in part, reads, "We expect you to be an example of dignity, integrity, respect, patience and positive spirit." It goes on to say, "Never use profanity, abusive language or threatening behavior toward any player, parent coach or an official."
Some of the alleged out of line language is being directed at officials following "bad" calls. The officials are also kids.
"All of our umpires and score keepers are all high school and college kids working for summer employment," Parks Director David Stucker said.
Some parents find the policy to be a good thing.
"I think it's a good policy. You shouldn't be drinking, smoking, cussing, slandering people in general, but especially around your children," parent Cynthia Love said.
"It's all about good sportsmanship and having fun, and it's a shame that people take it too far," parent Kirk Klinger said.
"We want the memories for the kids to be on the field," Stucker said.
If parents don't follow the policy their kid's team will be forced to forfeit.
Stucker said the policy will likely also be read at football and basketball games.

Product Information Menu
Ascorbyl palmitate (AP) is an ester formed from ascorbic acid and palmitic acid creating a fat-soluble form of vitamin C that can reach tissue areas ascorbic acid cannot.78 This form is synthetic from two compounds; it has been shown to be beneficial for protecting the lipids from peroxidation.78-84 The lipophilic AP is able to cross biological barriers and satisfies the tissue demand for ascorbate better than the hydrophilic form. AP should be considered as the preferred form of transport of ascorbate into neural tissues.85,86
Technically, the ascorbic acid "part" of ascorbyl palmitate is only 40% of the total weight. Since ascorbyl palmitate and ascorbic acid might work in separate areas of the body, the concentration of ascorbic acid by weight has little relevance to the benefits of ascorbyl palmitate, so it has not been included in the product contents description.
Serving Size 1 vegetarian capsule
Servings Per Container 100
Vitamin C (from 500 mg ascorbyl palmitate)
200 mg
Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose (capsule).
Vitamin C with Dihydroquercetin, 1000 mg 250 vegetarian tablets
