Milk Thistle
Parts Used and Where Grown
Milk thistle is commonly found growing wild in a variety of settings, including roadsides. The dried fruit (also called achenes) are used to produce modern herbal extracts.
Historical or Traditional Use
Medical use of milk thistle can be traced back more than 2,000 years. Nicholas Culpeper, the well-known 17th-century pharmacist, cited its use for opening "obstructions" of the liver and spleen and recommended it for the treatment of jaundice.

The parents of 2-year-old Tripp Halstead enjoyed rare moments of relaxation at a fundraiser for their son on Friday night. Their son captured the hearts of many after he was hit in the head by a falling tree limb at his daycare center and left with severe injuries. Stacy and Bill Halsted told FOX 5's George Franco that fundraisers like the one held Friday make it easier for them to stay strong for Tripp as he continues on his long road to recovery. The couple relaxed in a dry $10,000 hot tub—the top prize in a raffle held at Georgia Spa in Buford. The funds raised benefit Tripp, who was injured in late October. "He looks amazing now with the skull back in place and there's no more indentation from that," said Bill Halstead of his son.Bill Halstead says doctors at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite have re-attached a portion of Tripp's skull after swelling in his brain went down. On Friday morning, they decided against placing a shunt in his brain, but it may still be needed."It would go behind his ear and run down his neck into his stomach, and whenever fluids rebuild in his brain and the body doesn't absorb it like you or I would have, it would just drain into his stomach," his dad explained. The tickets were going fast at $10 each. The three prizes—the hot tub, a Big Green Egg barbeque, and a limo ride—were great incentives, but most people said they were really there just to help out the family."They give me strength when I get down, and they help me to think positive and just be strong for my baby," said Stacy Halstead.Georgia Spa says they raised $15,000 toward Tripp's medical expenses on Friday night. Another fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday morning at 11 a.m. at the Infinity Center on Stafford Street in Winder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by rider-rick68 Great Light Weight Rain Jacket! I ordered this product online because the retail store did not have my size or color. The jacket arrived in a timely manner and even though I haven't had a chance to wear it (we haven't had any rain lately) but I did try it on and the fit is perfect. It will also be perfect to pack in my golf bag for any in climate weather on the golf course. I give this jacket an A+. June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mickey Great features Great jacket so glad I bought it! Really like the fact that it is water proof! June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Willie Fantastic! I bought the jacket based on the reputation of Columbia. I have used many name brand outdoor products and found this to be all it was labelled to be, wonderful. The nice features are many, though my favorite is the Velcro closures at the wrist to keep rain out when I am fishing - moving my arms overhead as it were. June 7, 2014

NEW CASTLE, Pa. – In a century-old church filled to capacity, one thousand people gathered to say goodbye to a man described as "an officer and a gentleman."
Funeral services were held this morning for sixty-year-old Shenango Township Officer William "Jerry" McCarthy who died in the line of duty in a car crash last Thursday in New Castle.
McCarthy died when a police were pursuing 25-year-old Kylie Barletto who they say crashed her car into McCarthy's cruiser after he and another officer responded to a request for backup.
"The thing with Jerry was, this was his job. He lived for this. His big goal was peoples' safety, and the last words he ever told us was, 'God bless, be careful out there.' And today pays a real tribute to what he was like; he was well-liked by everybody," says friend and fellow law enforcement officer Mike Lengauer.
Other friends and fellow officeres offered their condolences, saying what a difference McCarthy made in everyone's life and how much he is loved and missed.
Mourners filled St. Vitus church this morning and spilled out onto the sidewalk to hear the eulogy which was piped outside to the overflow crowds. Law enforcement officers from Pennsylvania and Ohio and other parts of the U.S. attended the funeral service. Among the mourners was Youngstown's Police Chief, Rod Foley.
The "Mass of Christian Burial" was led by Reverend Frank D. Almade, pastor of St. Vitus.
The crowd was solemn during the remembrance ceremony.
Lawrence County District Attorney, Josh Lamancusa said "we've lost a living example of the police motto to protect and serve." McCarthy's son, a firefighter also spoke at the funeral.
Following the service, McCarthy's wife, Patty Jo had to be helped out of the church to a waiting limousine as she cried "No, no, no."
Jerry McCarthy's son, Michael McCarthy, delivered a tearful eulogy, reading the letter he wrote to his father in honor of his life.
Nearby, a long line of police and emergency vehicles formed a funeral procession to escort McCarthy to Crestview Memorial Park in Grove City where he will be laid to rest with full military honors performed by the Pennsylvania State Police Ceremonial Unit.
As his flag draped casket is carried out of the church on the way to it's final resting place, one final salute to a man many here call a hero; a man of character, courage and heart who literally gave his life to serve and protect others.
Detective McCarthy is survived by his wife, two sons, a daughter, a stepdaughter and step-son as well as six grandchildren. You can see his entire obituary here: http://www.nogafuneralhome.com/i.php?id=3327
Barletto, has been charged with manslaughter of a law enforcement officer and other charges. She's been held in the Mahoning County jail and faces an extradition hearing back to Pennsylvania on Thursday.

MagnetStreet is amazing
Bicycle Built for Two Tea-length Tri-fold Programs We used MagnetStreet for basically all of our wedding items. This allowed everything to match perfectly, and really gave our bike theme more prominence. The company made and shipped everything in time, and even gave us a few extra copies of things. Everything looked so professional yet still personalized. We were very happy that we happened to find this website!

Amazing customer service!
Excellent work
Bicycle Built for Two Rectangle Programs We were very happy with the quick service and assistance with the product we chose. The online design software was easy to use, very user-friendly and produced great work. I made several corrections and the turnaround time was very quick and exact to the direction. We asked for some graphics to be removed on a particular card we had picked out and they accommodated perfectly. We highly recommend using Magnet Street for any stationary needs!
Great programs!

The interview is probably the most critical aspect of determining whether you get the job. Although your resume may tell the hiring manager much about your history, the interview is key in making an impression that you are the right fit for the open job. Below are tips on how to prepare for questions prior to the actual interview, how your behavior can impact the interview and how to follow up after the interview is concluded.
Entrance: The entrance is very important. It can set the tone of your meeting.
Opening: This is when you start talking and begin to build rapport with the interviewer. This is when the employer will decide if he or she is going to like you or not. Most researchers suggest the first impression happens within the first three seconds. The opening is when you have the first opportunity to disclose who you are and what you do. The interviewer may first share something personal, such as his or her kid's last soccer game. This is just a way to help you feel comfortable. If you choose to share something personal it is purely up to you. It could be a way to find common ground or interests.
Background: This is where you begin to share your work history or educational background. A very common question is, "So John, tell me about yourself….." Try to keep your responses to your professional experience. The interviewer doesn't need to know you are a deacon in your church. You may want to start with a brief overview of where you attended college, then begin to show the progression of your career. The key word is brief.
Communication Exchange: Ideally this is where the interviewer asks questions and you answer them. You then ask questions and they answer them. This part of the interview helps you build the bridge between your work history and skills to the open job. Show them how your past experiences apply to this job. You may experience behavioral style questions during this segment. The basis of behavior questioning is past performance predicts future performance. One way to convey your answers during a behavior exchange is to think of STAR: situation, task, action, result.
When handling interview questions:
Questions to ask the interviewer:
Wrap Up: This is where the interviewer may ask if you have any final questions or anything else to add. Remember that he or she is looking for the best person for the job. What differentiates you from the others and why should the company hire you? This will be your final time to relay that message to them.
When you don't hear back from a recruiter, a hiring manager or a company after submitting a resume, it may be difficult to accept that you didn't get an opportunity for that particular job. Maybe you hear back after an interview that you didn't get that job, or you receive an e-mail or a letter in the mail stating that you didn't get the job. If you get feedback that may make your next interview stronger, use it in a positive way. Don't replay multiple times the negative thoughts or what you could have done or said better. Focus on what you can control – talk to yourself like a winner.
If you find yourself stuck on the negative rather than focusing on what you can control, please consider finding a coach, mentor or other advisor to help set you back on track.

by Joe Mullin - Aug 28 2013, 12:50pm PST
Pasted from <http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/08/in-historic-vote-new-zealand-bans-software-patents/>
A major new patent bill, passed in a 117-4 vote by New Zealand's Parliament after five years of debate, has banned software patents.The relevant clause of the patent bill actually states that a computer program is "not an invention." Some have suggested that was a way to get around the wording of the TRIPS intellectual property treaty, which requires patents to be "available for any inventions, whether products or processes, in all fields of technology."Processes will still be patentable if the computer program is merely a way of implementing a patentable process. But patent claims that cover computer programs "as such" will not be allowed.It seems there will be some leeway for computer programs directly tied to improved hardware. The bill includes the example of a better washing machine. Even if the improvements are implemented with a computer program, "the actual contribution is a new and improved way of operating a washing machine that gets clothes cleaner and uses less electricity," so a patent could be awarded.One Member of Parliament who was deeply involved in the debate, Clare Curran, quoted several heads of software firms complaining about how the patenting process allowed "obvious things" to get patented and that "in general software patents are counter-productive." Curran quoted one developer as saying, "It's near impossible for software to be developed without breaching some of the hundreds of thousands of patents granted around the world for obvious work.""These are the heavyweights of the new economy in software development," said Curran. "These are the people that needed to be listened to, and thankfully, they were."The head of New Zealand's Institute of IT Professionals, Paul Matthews, celebrated the passage of the bill, tweeting: "Software patents are now disallowed in New Zealand. #Historic #Awesome #Yay." Matthews also noted that the new law will only apply to new patent applications, so existing software patents will continue to stand in New Zealand.It's an open question whether other countries will take up New Zealand's example. An outright ban on software patents in the US seems unlikely given the large corporations—in tech and other sectors—that would oppose such a move. However, this year has been one of unprecedented concern about "patent trolls," with six bills introduced in Congress addressing that issue in the last several months.

As much as I like Cully Hamner's artwork in National Comics: Eternity #1, I would have been much happier if DC had gone in a completely different direction than they did. Kid Eternity has always had a goofy premise that has also been done well in very dark ways, but Jeff Lemire's version irons out all the interesting bits—the nebulous death of the original origin (which was expanded in the Vertigo version), the ability to summon historical or mythological figures—in favour of a generic mob violence death and what amounts to a "gritty" re-imagining of Bryan Fuller's Pushing Daisies. This comic reads like the pilot for another terrible WB supernatural drama starring hot young actors, with all the wonderful hooks taken out and nothing really distinctive or unique replacing them.
I kind of feel like Lemire has become DC's golden boy, the architect of their transitioning properties that were once upon a time part of the DCU that migrated to Vertigo back to the DCnU (Animal Man, Kid Eternity, Hellblazer), but his work is so edgeless and unimaginative and boring if you stare at it too long. I liked his Animal Man work initially but the longer it went on with nothing really happening that wasn't just a retread of something Grant Morrison did fifteen to twenty years ago, the more I dissatisfied I've become.
I have a lot of fondness for Kid Eternity, because the original concept is beyond ridiculous and the Vertigo revamp of him was great—both the Morrison stuff and the Nocenti stuff—but Lemire is proving to be a bog-standard writer, the word-equivalent of DC's house-style, and mostly that means flat characters with nothing unique about them, and premises that sound too much like some of the lesser Buffy knockoffs. This is like a Ghost Whisperer retread, starring a disaffected twentysomething man instead of Jennifer Love Hewitt, for god's sakes.

The Shedd Aquarium has added a marlin to its family. But this Marlin walks on all fours and is covered in hair. The two-year-old Labrador mix is one of the Shedd's new rescue dogs.
"Marlin was originally training to be a hunting dog," Shedd Manager of Animal Care and Training Kelly Schaaf told FOX 32 News. "That didn't pan out to well for him."
Marlin found a new home at the Shedd a few months ago. He joins the aquarium's three other rescue dogs, named Bruce, Dory and Coral.
The Shedd hopes seeing furry guys like Marlin will inspire guests to adopt a rescue dog.
All of the dogs are put through at least five training sessions a day at the aquarium's special doggy training lounge.
"This lounge area is where they spend most of their time," Schaaf said.
A dog's life at the Shedd is pretty sweet - chilling in the lounge and starring in one world show, which highlights the connection humans have with the living world.
"Each year, over three million dogs are put to sleep, and about 90 percent of those deaths are due to avoidable behavioral issues," Schaaf told FOX 32. "We hope that in out show that we show out guest that through positive reinforcement training that rescue dogs make amazing pets."
When the weather warms up, Marlin and the other rescue dogs will be out and about greeting guests as they arrive at the Shedd Aquarium.

VIRGINIA BEACH – A Virginia Beach high school taking Rachel's Challenge is meeting that challenge every day.
The program, inspired by the first person killed in the Columbine massacre, is stirring students at First Colonial High School. It promotes kindness and respect and calls on teens to be better people.
More than 100 students took the pledge to better their school and community. Some agreed to mentor freshmen students.
This week, 13News checked in to see what's going on.
Justin Cormier was meeting with Jujuan, a ninth grader.
"Maybe once a week, we can get together and go over your homework or whatever problems you may have," he said.
"To see them step up is almost like having another parent like guide you through life. They're guiding us through school, telling us the rights and wrongs. Any subject you're weak in, they'll help you," Jujuan stated.
Other students are making videos that highlight acts of kindness around the school and they're planning ways to volunteer in school and in the community.
"Every action you have has a reaction, so whenever you're nice, you're gonna have a nice reaction come back at you," believes sophomore Wesley Foster.
First Colonial isn't the only Hampton Roads school to take on Rachel's Challenge.
Thursday night in Norfolk, several teachers will receive $2,000 grants to begin programs at their schools.
Schools on the Peninsula are accepting the challenge as well.

MAYFIELD, Ky. (BP) -- In the last few years, pundits have come to recognize a sub-category of young 20- and early 30-somethings called the "globals" generation. These young Americans have developed some characteristics that are relatively new to American culture and society.
If Southern Baptists hope to impact this group of young adults, we should know something about them.
According to pollster John Zogby in his work, "The Way We'll Be: The Zogby Report on the Transformation of the American Dream" (2008), and Sam Sander's report, "'Globals' Generation Focuses on Experience" (2012), "globals" share a number of common attributes:
-- A largely secular worldview, but one open to some aspects of cultural beliefs from all around the world.
-- More than 270,000 studied abroad in 2010 -- more than three times the number of students of just two decades ago.
-- Two-thirds of this generation possess current passports, and one-fourth of them aspire to live abroad.
-- On social, spiritual, cultural and economic issues, they possess an international rather than a distinctly American perspective.
-- They are more diverse in terms of race and ethnicity than previous generations.
-- Their personal networks, whether face-to-face or online, include people from all over the world.
-- They see the world at large as being "instantly accessible" through travel or the Internet.
-- Many globals have a different perspective on the "American dream" and do not necessarily aspire to accumulating homes, cars and material success.
-- They put less emphasis on marriage and family than their parents.
-- Instead, many globals view "experiences" as more important than any other category of goals.
-- They value a greater degree of "openness" and "transparency" in their private and public dealings with other people than did previous generations.
-- And finally, the globals see themselves as "global citizens" with a responsibility to the world community at-large superseding their responsibilities to more local institutions and constituencies.
Although many globals are not ready to jettison traditional ideas of marriage, family and even American citizenship, these values are less important to them. Needless to say, most young people identified as part of this cohort do not share a Christian worldview, and in fact, Zogby refers to them as "secular spiritualists." Globals seek to address the social and spiritual problems of their day from a global worldview that owes little to their understanding of both a distinctly American and/or Christian perspective. They are also heavily connected to members of their own generation from all around the world, and this reinforces their global worldview.
If the pundits and pollsters are correct in their assessments of this generation, can the Christian community at large and Southern Baptists in particular hope to reach this generation for Christ?
Admittedly, older American Christians have few connections to the culture and society of this cohort. We are not as well traveled. We are considerably more homogeneous in terms of race and ethnicity. We are literally less connected to the worldwide web than they are, and in fact, we have been less willing to use the Internet beyond our forays into commerce and personal communication. The outlook of older American Christians is set firmly in the cultural perspective of the United States, and we look to a 2,000-year-old faith tradition to guide us in our daily walk. Therefore, we are sometimes apprehensive of some aspects of their global secular worldview -- as they are concerning our perspectives. The recognition of the vast chasm between our respective worldviews is the beginning of the hope to bridge it.
Nevertheless, the cultural milieu of the globals also offers plenty of hope for Christians to evangelize and influence this generation. In spite of the secularism that pervades the culture of the globals, they share with the Christian tradition a number of characteristics that include a suspicion of materialism, the desire to create a diverse society and community irrespective of race and ethnicity, a global concern for humanity and a "service ethos" to reach humankind as a means to address global human concerns. For instance, globals would have found much to agree with in the Affirming Human Needs Ministry Resolution that Southern Baptists approved at the 2012 convention in New Orleans.
Guided by the Holy Spirit, Christians can reach this generation for Christ. Conversely, we must first submit to our own spiritual discipline and educate ourselves about this historically very different generation. Christ has called us to a global mission -- the Great Commission. The Great Commission always conveyed the expectation that we were reaching out to generations of separate people groups all over the globe. Our challenge this time is unique, for we are now witnessing to a single emerging "global generation."

The Hennepin County Library Board met Wednesday, March 28, 2007 at the Ridgedale Library.
Present: John Gibbs, Holly Guncheon, Patricia Izek, Claudia Kelly, David Pratt, Cynthia Steinke, and Therese VanBlarcom.
Library Staff: Amy Ryan, Judith Friedrich, Lois Langer Thompson, Patrick Jones, Linda Trandem, Rebecca Mobarry, Margie Schuster, Sharon Ehresmann, Lin Maki, Gretchen Wronka, Margaret Gillespie, Bill Berg and Marilyn Zastrow.
Public: Diane Sannes and Mike Maki.
John Gibbs, President called the Hennepin County Library Board Meeting of March 28, 2007 to order at 5 p.m. and welcomed all attendees.
Agenda was unanimously approved.
Patricia Izek moved approval of the minutes of the February 28, 2007 Library Board meeting, Therese VanBlarcom seconded the motion which was approved.
Mr. Gibbs invited members of the public to provide comments to the Library Board. Diane Sannes, Friends of the Brookdale Library asked if communication between Hennepin County Library's Friends groups and the Friends of the Minneapolis Public Library was permitted. The Hennepin County Library Board does not oppose communication between the groups. Library Board members make an effort to attend Friends of the Library meetings, appreciate, and share news of their support and activities with others.
PROGRAM - Library Board Recognition - 2007 Acts of Caring Award from the National Association of Counties for At Home Service
Mr. Gibbs introduced Lin Maki, Patrick Jones, Becky Mobarry, Linda Trandem and Sharon Ehresmann, Outreach, and presented a certificate of recognition from the Library Board. Lin Maki summarized the program. Amy Ryan and John Gibbs will attend the National Association of Counties Award ceremony on April 26 in Washington, D.C.
David Pratt: Attended the Hennepin County Board meetings on the proposed Hennepin County Library and Minneapolis Public Library consolidation.
Holly Guncheon: Has worked with Pen Pals and thanked the Ridgedale Library for displaying art from local elementary schools.
Therese VanBlarcom: Attended information meetings regarding the proposed consolidation.
Cynthia Steinke: Advised all to "go carefully in all the details" when considering the proposed consolidation.
Patricia Izek: Expressed appreciation for the wonderful service the library provides by displaying artwork for school districts. She also plans to attend future Friends of the Library group meetings.
John Gibbs: Attended the retirement farewell for Janet Leick. It was inspiring to see the level of support from colleagues from other county departments.
Position vacancies - Sandy Vargas, Hennepin County Administrator, accepted the position of Director of the Minneapolis Foundation effective April 2. Richard P. Johnson was named the acting County Administrator. Janet Leick's retirement left a vacancy which has been scrutinized and some changes have occurred. In addition, Amy Ryan's involvement in County matters with Information Technology Governance, Property Services, etc., resulted in a need for a Deputy Director to be in charge in her absence. Lois Langer Thompson was selected and accepted this position which will oversee the Library Services Division, Human Resources & Payroll and Budget & Finance. After further review, the Operations Division Manager vacant position will be held open for approximately 30 days and during this time, Facilities & Security and Material & Procurement will report to the Library Director.
Hennepin County Library and Minneapolis Public Library proposed merger overview:

A brochure for the Urban Libraries Council (ULC) Conference, Library Board travel information and conference calendar were distributed to Library Board members.

Lois Langer Thompson will conduct the April 25, 2007 board meeting.

remediation ftvms326
For my creative exercise, I have made an audio visual storybook. I have remediated the text medium of the storybook 'The Sneetches' by Dr Seuss into an audio version. Through remediation into an audio storybook, the visual has been changed, instead of pictorial, into photographs of the holocaust
I have chosen Dr Seuss as my mediated because it is a popular childhood storybook that most will have come across in pastimes. Dr Seuss is trademarked for bright colourful pictures of fictional creatures in a fictional land, all narrated by his joyous catchy rhymes. Although the narrative of 'The Sneetches' is not made to represent the Holocaust explicitly, through remediating this medium of text/picture book can it have a broader cultural meaning.
The audio has been chosen for the mediator as it is the popular trend in the digital age, starting from cassettes to now the internet. They are effective because verbal storytelling has more impact to the emotions than reading a book. Through using the audio, it can then impact the telling of the Holocaust event. Furthermore, the verbal has meaning in terms of Holocaust in itself. Hitler is known to be one of the most influential speakers in history, when he singularly persuaded millions upon millions in fascism. Through this aspect too, it can give a deeper meaning to the use of audio as the mediator to tell the story.
The visual medium has been changed, through remediation, into archival photographs of the Holocaust. The viewer has expectations of bright colours and caricature creatures due to the knowledge of the original picture book version. As there appears the reality of photographs, the audience will further see they are photos that we have been exposed to in media, ever since the event itself. Through connection between the original and new version, there is an ironic interplay (Bolter, Grusin 13). This ironic interplay will disturb the emotions, which will be the intention of this project. Through disturbance can the discourse of the mediation of history be started.
Using my voice as the recording, complimented by the chosen photographs, this gives a more personal perspective of the Holocaust. Because the storybook was not meant for the Holocaust specifically, I have accentuated the content of the words by matching photographs to words. With my voice, there is storybook music too. As the voiceover runs through with the music, it feels like an audio storybook. With music, there are visual and audio effects of page flipping to show passing each page. Focusing on the overall style and atmosphere of this slide, it feels like a real audio storybook that we would find in a Dr Seuss digital library, through the voice over, music and special effects all matched with visual effects and visual content. The remediation is a virtual reality because it is as though we are facing the original medium of the storybook, in a digital form. It has "…offered new gains of access to the older media…" (Bolter, Grusin 14) while being transparent in trying to show remediation. However, because the audio storybook is in itself, a supposed 'improved' version of the physical storybook, the notion is that it is "translucent rather than transparent." (14)
Although the narrative and photographs are deliberately made to match its contents, they are still very different contexts and separate. This is another part of remediation. The book is a story of fictional creatures bullying each other, while the photographs are of the holocaust being a serious historical event. Used together in the same media space however, they are made to connect in context, and even further make a personal perspective of the absurdity prejudice is. Through the viewer having recognition for both the storybook and photograph medium and "…simultaneously aware of the individual pieces and inappropriate setting" (14), we can feel the message of prejudice and absurdity.
"Virtual reality adopts the romanticism of the first, in that it allows the viewer to pass through Alberti's window in an active search for reality to examine, and in some cases to manipulate, the objects of representation". (Bolter, Grusin 22) Through the virtual reality established by remediation, we are witnessing the historical event in a "first-person point-of-view cinema" (17), and the archive photographs define a reality because they are the medium that will represent memory. The issue however, is the representation of this historical event in media. The holocaust is something that wants to be both remembered and forgotten. Mass media uses this event through films, documentaries, photographs and memorial sites; continuously this sensitive topic comes to life, more real and graphically through digital media. The discourse is, how far can representation of the Holocaust go before it becomes exploitation. Using graphic visuals in an innocent medium of the children's storybook, representation becomes disturbing. The children storybook represents future generations that will produce prosthetic memory of the Holocaust, but in turn will only remember graphical disturbing images of this event. Ending the slide with colour photos of the logo, Auschwitz and the real Sneetches ending page, I conclude on a more positive representation of the future.

A common complaint in West Virginia is that West Virginia's public education system is just not that good.
The complaint can be heard in border counties, which must compete with other states for migrating families, and in interior counties.
As one person said in an off-the-record conversation with The State Journal, "The thing I don't think we're addressing is public education."
"The bulk of your money is going to public education, and yet on national test scores, we're not competing well," that person said. "Somehow we've got to hold schools accountable on math and science and English skill sets.
"It's a struggle attracting people to relocate here because people say, 'I have to relocate my family, and your education levels are not as good as … well, pick a state.'"
William Smith, superintendent of Cabell County Schools, the state's fourth-largest system by number of pupils, had heard it all before.
"Bashing education is the thing of the day," Smith said. "I don't care whether they bash us or not. We're going to do the right things for kids."
One thing people tend to forget, Smith said, is that West Virginia is a poor state when compared with the rest of the nation. Schools in high-poverty areas must spend a larger share of resources just getting children ready to learn than schools in higher-income areas, he said.
When the governor and the Legislature consider budgeting for the coming fiscal year or paring back appropriations in the current fiscal year because of revenue shortfalls, public education is almost always exempt from cuts. This year, the West Virginia Department of Education received about 48 percent of general revenue tax collections. Thus brings the question of what return the people of West Virginia get for their investment in the nearly half the state general revenue budget that is off limits to austerity.
Perceptions and test scores
It's easy for people to think West Virginia schools are subpar. Some of the anecdotal evidence shows:
And look at what is not said. No one promotes West Virginia schools as being world-class or among the best in the nation or, for that matter, above average.
But are West Virginia's schools really as bad as their reputation?
The 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress found that West Virginia students performed below the national average in reading and math in fourth and eighth grades, but the results for fourth grade math and science were not, statistically speaking, significantly different from the national average.
NAEP scores for 2011 found West Virginia students ranking 37th nationally in fourth grade vocabulary, 42nd in fourth grade reading comprehension, 45th in eighth grade vocabulary and 46th in eighth grade reading comprehension.
There's another measure: the number of students in college or community college who must take remedial classes to learn what they didn't learn in high school.
According to data compiled by the Higher Education Policy Commission, 9.7 percent of first-time freshmen enrolled in the state's college and university system in the fall semester of 2012 required remedial classes in English. About 18 percent required remedial math classes. Overall, 20.6 percent of first-time freshmen required remedial course work.
Numbers for the Community and Technical College System are worse. There, 38.5 percent of first-time freshman were in remedial English and 52.5 percent were in remedial math.
As many people are fond on pointing out, the quality or perceived quality of public schools correlates highly with the household income of an area. As West Virginia as a whole ranks low on the list of household income — along with many of its counties — perceptions are that quality will rank low, too.
A district's response
Smith said schools have tried to teach students using a business model, but that doesn't work because students are too different.
Overcoming poverty takes resources, but "once we get them, we can move them quickly."
Cabell County Schools once allocated resources equally among schools, but no more, Smith said. Resources go to where they are needed most.
"The more resources we put into a classroom or a teacher, the better education they get," he said.
Cabell County also uses different instructional strategies based on students' needs and backgrounds. Central City Elementary, which is in a low-income neighborhood of Huntington, uses a different strategy than an elementary in the more affluent area of Barboursville, he said.
Jeff Smith, assistant superintendent for school improvement, said it's easy to write-off children from low-income families, but it does a child no good to make excuses for him or her.
William Smith said Guyandotte Elementary is a high-poverty school, but teachers raised expectations and talked with parents about the importance of reading to children and how to do it.
As other schools in West Virginia and the nation are, Cabell County is moving to fully implement standards of the Common Core curriculum.
Common Core teaches collaboration and looking at multiple sources based on document-based questions, Jeff Smith said.
"It seems odd to us, but the idea is for students to solve problems not just one way but in a number of ways," he explained.
Rather than memorizing multiplication tables or the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, Common Core aims at getting the student to work through the thought process of solving a problem, Jeff Smith said. The teacher sees the tangents students are going off on and brings them back to solving the problem, he said.
"Ideally in a Common Core classroom, the teacher is hardly ever going to be sitting down," Jeff Smith said. "The teacher is no longer the sage on the stage, but the guide on the side."
It sounds chaotic, but with the right professional development for teachers, it should work, he said.
Rather than memorize, understand the logic behind math, Jeff Smith said.
"It's more real-world," he said. "We want students to look at multiple sources of information to find what they need."
Students can't memorize everything they need to know, so they need to know where to find it, he said.
Bill Smith said some teachers may object to the new Common Core program, but those who do not follow it will be held accountable and could be disciplined for insubordination.
Is more change necessary?
Common Core is controversial enough on its own, but some people think the state's public education system has needs that go far beyond a particular curriculum or method of instruction.
And they admit that such change could be very slow in coming.
Matt Ballard, president of the Charleston Area Alliance, said it takes time for systemic change to work its way in big systems.
Cal Kent, who among his many other titles, is distinguished fellow in economics at the Marshall University College of Business and Economic Research. He said West Virginia should be open to many options for improving the public education system. Among them are charter schools and vouchers, he said. Public schools may not like vouchers, but "we should never be afraid of competition," Kent said.
Kent also said early childhood education is an unfilled need in West Virginia. The problem is that you don't see the results of early childhood education immediately, he said.
"When you're in the bind we're in right now, things that get distant payoffs don't get the attention that things that get immediate payoffs get," Kent said.

Cultural Attractions At the Mount Roberts Tramway
Mountain House and the lands around it provide a natural backdrop for a remarkable display of Alaskan art. Indoors and along outside pathways and hiking trails, visitors walk past a varied and changing gallery of Native and historical works. As part of a Native Alaskan corporation, the Mount Roberts Tramway is proud to honor Native ancestors and celebrate the thriving Tlingit, Haida and other cultures of the Goldbelt Region by sharing these artworks and cultural displays with the people of Alaska and the world.
Among the Mount Roberts Tramway's cultural attractions:
- Living Tree Carvings
Carvings by Richard Beasley on trees along the Alpine Loop Trail are examples of an ancient Tlingit custom known as Culturally Modified Trees. Always placed on spruce trees, each carving is made without endangering the tree, which creates a protective seal around the carving that discourages insects and diseases from penetrating the surface.
- Battle of Sitka Painting
More than 200 years ago, Kiks.ádi ancestors fought against invading Russian forces and their Aleut captives at the mouth of the Indian River at Sheet'ká, called Sitka today. The 1985 painting by Louis Glanzman depicts the warrior K'alyaan, who according to Tlingit elders wore a Raven helmet and used a Russian blacksmith's hammer while defending his homeland.
- Raven and Tl'anax'eet'ák'w (Wealth Bringer) Totem Pole
Carver Stephen Jackson (Shaakakóoni, the Mountain Flicker bird) transformed a once-living, 400-year-old red cedar tree into a Tlingit story-telling totem that relates raven legends. The artist occasionally adds new details to this monumental work.
- The Fisherman Carved Panel
Jim Skannes' massive carving of a halibut fisherman celebrates the genius and fortitude of the Alaskan Native. The 8 foot by 8 foot yellow cedar panel, hanging in the Mount Roberts Tramway's lower terminal, weighs 400 pounds.
- Salmon Return Cascading Beaded Waterfall
Juneau artist Clarissa Hudson (Daal sak'oo tlaa, Widely Known Person) honors the traditional use of beads in a shimmering piece made from 150,000 Czechoslovakian faceted glass and Austrian crystal beads.
Besides the works listed above, more cultural displays are found along the Mount Roberts Trail System and in Raven Eagle Gifts.
Open May through September
2014 Operating Times TBD

He was mayor, then governor and was once talked about as a potential member of a presidential cabinet.
Today, Phil Bredesen said he's not interested in returning to politics.
Bredesen was honored Wednesday night for his years as Nashville mayor.
For now, he said he doesn't have a need to get back into politics. He said he's busy working on a second book and enjoys spending time with his family.
"I'm really enjoying this time," said Bredesen. "I spent 16 years worrying about what Channel 4 said every night, and now it's a little more relaxing. I can do some things that are fun. I'm staying very, very busy."
Bredesen served as Nashville's mayor from 1991-1999. He became governor four years later, serving eight years in that role.
He said his time as mayor was some of the most enjoyable of his life.

Brahms's music is, of course, central to the repertoire of every viola player but, somewhat perversely, his only original compositions for viola, the Songs op.91, are missing from this set, that thus consists exclusively of transcribed music. There would have been room for them, and with any luck also for William Primrose's transcription of the Second Violin Sonata op.100 (the Sonatensatz was included in a previous CD of Rysanov's).
In the two op.120 sonatas (originally for clarinet), Rysanov takes a pragmatic view of the 'octave problem': he sticks to the Brahms-sanctioned (low) viola part in the F minor work, but in the E flat major Sonata, where it is really necessary if one is not to disturb the interplay with the piano, he transposes most passages back to the clarinet pitch. The contrast in character between both sonatas is further underlined by Rysanov's extraordinarily fiery interpretation of the F minor's outer movements, before starting the more lyrical E flat major with a very delicate, almost fragile thread of sound. His sound spectrum in all this music is indeed amazingly broad. The Scherzo of the E flat minor Sonata is appassionato enough, but I miss the solemnity of the chorale-like middle section, taken here at a breathless pace. The variations are nicely characterised by both Rysanov and pianist Jacob Katsnelson.
The First Violin Sonata is played in an arrangement (in D major) attributed to Paul Klengel, in-house arranger at Brahms's publisher, Simrock. It works well, with just occasionally an unexpected change of octave, and the piece's lyricism is beautifully realised by Rysanov and Apekisheva.
Both trios suffer from a disconcertingly wide stereo separation. In op.40 (originally with horn), Rysanov is on-and-off the picture balance-wise but is otherwise well attuned to the excellent violinist Boris Brovstyn in realising the piece's elegiac atmosphere. No balance problems in the lyrical op.114 (originally with clarinet), which features some beautifully eloquent playing from cellist Kristine Blaumane. The recording quality is otherwise fine, and the CDs are attractively presented.

By Leanne Aguilera, Hollywood.com Staff
"It's still is the same Smash. A little bigger, more music, sort of a little bit younger in certain new cast members, but I think the people who watch it will still see the same show that they love." That's how new showrunner Josh Safran described Season 2 of the hit musical dramedy on Sunday at the Television Critics Association.
Last year, fans were treated to roughly one new original song per episode, but Safran promises the new season will exceed our expectations. "There is definitely more than that. One of the fun things I think about the second season of our show is that 'bigger' and 'more' is sort of a fun thing that we played with. So we're doing more original music, more musical sequences per episode, more diversity of styles."
These "diversity of styles" can largely be attributed to the second musical that Smash will be focusing on this year. While Bombshell will still have a large spotlight, fans can get excited to watch "Hit List" make its way to the Broadway stage. Cast newcomers Jeremy Jordan and Andy Mientus will play Jimmy and Kyle, respectively, two friends from childhood who hope Karen (Katharine McPhee) can help bring their edgy musical from a dream to the stage.
In addition to many new regular cast members, Smash boasts an impressive list of guest stars this season. Safran says, Jennifer Hudson will star in "three of the first four episodes" with many more A-list names sure to follow. "We have Liza Minnelli, we have Sean Hayes, we have Bernadette Peters coming back for several episodes. It's fun coming back on a show like this where you can sort of widen the worldview and show performers from other shows or bring in Broadway actors who play characters related to our cast."
Of course there is one character that fans are hoping they never see again: Ellis, the smarmy, peanut-smoothie-making, wannabe producer. However when asked if Ellis is gone for good this season, Executive Producer Neil Meron smiled and quipped, "Ellis is still alive " All together now: Nooooooo.
From exciting new performances and beautiful original songs, Safran summarizes that Smash will stay true to its broadway roots this year. "Changes-wise I actually think it is still Smash, I don't think it has really changed that much, I think that the stuff from last year that you love is still there."
Check out the fantastic trailer for season two below and don't miss the premiere of Smash Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 9 PM on NBC.

Josh Brolin & Megan Fox Saddle Up For 'Jonah Hex' Reshoots
The cast of "Jonah Hex" will be back in action soon as the studio reportedly adds new material and orders reshoots to the comic book western movie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, John Malkovich and Michael Fassbender will assemble for an additional 10-day shoot in LA at the end of January.
According to the trade mag, 12 pages of new material will added to the horror western during the reshoots.
The movie was originally slated to open on August 6, but has been reportedly moved up to June 18. The new "Hex" material will reportedly help the movie to compete with its fellow summer blockbusters, which include "The A-Team" and "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."
"Hex" is based on the DC Comics comic book, about a scar-faced bounty hunter who is battling an undead army trying to liberate the South.

Hi Everyone!
I delivered my baby boy Donovan Maxwell on Thursday at 9:01 am. He was 7 lb 11 oz and 20.7 inches long. This experience was so completely different from the last, from the start of the pregnancy to delivery. My blood pressure stayed down enough without meds for me to make it to my scheduled c-section at 39 weeks 2 days. When I heard my baby cry immediately after he came out I cried, too, because that did not happen with my daughter (her apgars were 1 1 6, and his were 9 9). He also got to stay with me and my husband, and go home with me. My blood pressure went up some the day after delivery, but blood and urine labs were negative for PE and my bp went back down yesterday. I think it went high because I wasn't getting enough sleep. I am continuing to monitor it at home, of course.
We are home now and so far we are both doing well. I put a picture of him in my avatar.
