It's been a while in Georgia since a head football coach of the stature of Jeff Herron left a program after a long tenure and while still on top of his game.
New Camden County coach Welton Coffey is calling how he and many others see it.
''I'm following a legend,'' Coffey said of Herron, who is leaving Kingsland after winning three state titles and compiling a 154-18 record over 18 seasons. "There's a legacy that's been put forth. I'm not here to fill anyone's shoes. I'm just here to help this program continue the success and hopefully we can catapult it to the next level.''
About the only level that Camden hasn't attained this century is an exemption from third-round exits from the playoffs. Camden has lost in the quarterfinals the past two seasons. Pretty good for most programs, a source of mild anxiety in Camden.
But it's hard to complain. Long criticized for playing in the weakest region in Georgia's highest class, Camden County moved to famous Region 1 last season and won it, a final hurrah for Herron, who is retiring from the public schools and will be head coach of Prince Avenue Christian in Athens.
Coffey, the offensive coordinator, was promoted last month and will get a look as his new team on the field for the first time Wednesday, when the Wildcats begin spring practice.
A native of nearby Jacksonville, Coffey has coached at Camden since 2006 and was part of state championship teams in 2008 and 2009. Coffey had been head coach of his alma mater, Raines of Jacksonville, and led that school to a Class 4A championship in Florida in his first season there, 1997. Coffey came to Georgia in 2003 to be the offensive coordinator at Valdosta under Rick Darlington.
Coffey almost didn't get the Camden job simply because he didn't initially apply for it.
''I'm very much based in my faith,'' Coffey said. "The first time the job presented itself, I was waiting on confirmation [through prayer] that this was something that I needed to do. I'm very active outside of football in mentorship programs and with my church. I thought maybe my duties were being guided in a different direction. After some weeks, there was some dialogue I had with people [close to the football program], and they asked about me applying for the job. After some soul searching, I had a talk with my wife and decided to put my hat in.''
Coffey wanted to make clear that he did not take the job with any reluctance.
''Fire is not ever a question with me,'' Coffey said. "That's not the deal. I want to do right by this community ad these kids and want to be obedient to the role of what Jesus Christ wants me to do. We forget that it's high school football and these are children playing it. We have to understand why we're doing this, what is our purpose. Football is a vehicle to teach character. We've modeling good behavior. That's no different than what Coach Herron has done before.''
His first order of business has been rebuilding the staff. Jason Tone, the running backs coach, took the head coaching job at Worth County. Adam Carter, a co-defensive coordinator, was announced as Bradwell Institute's coach last week. Chris Reese, an offensive line coach, is joining Carter at Bradwell.
Offensive line coach Zach Slattery and defensive backs coach Major Herron (Jeff's son) are going with Herron to Prince Avenue Christian.
Coffey has given his old job of offensive coordinator to Greg Slattery, a long-time Camden assistant who left for a time to be head coach at South Forsyth. Byron Slack, who will be in his eighth season at Camden, will be the defensive coordinator.
Four other positions need to be filled. Coffey wouldn't comment on those, as none has been approved officially by the school board.
As for the team he's inheriting, when has Camden not been good? Never in the Herron era. So expect a pretty good product that takes the same state-title-or-bust approach.
Five starters return on both sides of the ball. The biggest names that have moved on are quarterback Brice Ramsey and halfback/cornerback J.J. Green, both enrolled at Georgia.
The new quarterback is to be decided. Ramsey (75-of-137 passing, 1,396 yards, 19 touchdowns) was the only Camden player to throw a pass in 2012. Dalton Sikes, the backup last season, returns and perhaps leads a group of three or four battling for that spot.
Since Camden passes only about 10-12 times per game, Coffey sounded more concerned about replacing Ramsey's special teams skills. He was the region's top kicker and punter.
Green was a weapon on offense, but there's no shortage of Green-type players (halfback/cornerback types) still on Camden's campus. Kalvaraz Bessent and Chris Williams, both committed to Alabama, and Antonio Wimbush are the same kind of two-way players that can be outstanding as ball carriers and defenders.
Bessent rushed for 481 yards, scored nine touchdowns and intercepted six passes. Williams rushed for 443 yards and scored seven touchdowns. Wimush, a rising junior, rushed for 488 yard and scored 11 touchdowns, three against Hillgove in the state playoffs.
The offensive line returns only two starters, so that will be a spring project.
On defense, the secondary is loaded, and the defensive line is experienced. Rising senior A.J. Johnson led the team in sacks with six. The major issue is at linebacker. The top four at that position graduated, including all-state player Jarrad Davis to Florida.
Coffey says that replacing several key starters is business as usual at Camden. Replacing several key coaches is something new.
''Outside of replacing coaches, the transition has been fairly smooth,'' Coffey said. "The kids have responded well to this. The assistant coaches have done an outstanding job since Coach Herron announced he was going to leave. They kept going in the weight room, and the kids haven't missed a beat. That's testament to Coach Herron's legacy.''
Camden County Wildcats

Outlook: New coach Welton Coffey sounds confident that the transition to a new head coach will go well. One advantage in defending the Region 1-AAAAAA title is the schedule. Camden plays top rivals Valdosta, Lowndes and Colquitt County at home this season. Camden is hoping to get past the third round for the first time since the 2009 state title. ''The goals will continue to be the same as they've always been,'' Coffey said. "We're not afraid to talk about winning state championships here.''

Congrats to Coach Herron! To be able to go out on top is every coaches dream. To be able to retire from the state and take private job that pays well is a cherry on top! And then to be able to go to a place where he can coach his son at QB and make memories together, it's almost to good to be true. What an incredible position to be in.

Sounds like Camden will be trying to make it work with a new cast of coach's that don't know the players, other than the HC. I hope this does not cause a problem with the continuity of the team. Being accustomed to doing things one way for so long and then having to change to what a new coach wants could spell problems. The talent level will not change but the instruction will. Hope it works..

Hey Sportnut read the article again, all the coaches on staff have been there for a while now, there will be only four new coaches, if they fill those positions, believe me CAMDEN WILL CONTINUE TO BE A DOMINANT FORCE IN REGION 1 AND IN THE STATE……

Greetings 74 == I was merely stating the obvious. I hope all does go well. You never know what might transpire when change comes. I have no doubt they will continue to be competative. Just as always, time will tell. This is a large turn-over. They lose the O-line coach and his asst., running back coach, DB coach and four others need to be filled. That is eight by my count. That is what the article says.

The Cats have about 20 Coaches on the sideline anyway… They could stand to loose a few, besides 3/4 of the coaches leaving did not coach on Friday Night. It will all be good, you are talking about Camden Football, always in the mix,always a top contender and for goodness sake don't keep linking us with Prince whoever in Athens. Let Coach Herron be gone, he did what he was hired to do and was great at it. We have Coach Coffey and other staff that stayed. It really might get better !!!!

As a fan of high school football I have seen Camden as one of those teams that never seems to go through a rebuilding year they just reload.
The story here seems to indicate this might be the year with new coach and a lot of new starters they come close to rebuilding. Rebuilding to some would be losing 2 games, to others that would be a successful season. Expectations are high as always in Camden. It will help to have a guy take over that has been part of the program unless of course you are Commerce. (see head coach resigns). Guess we will see how they stand early in the Dome.
Wish they would bring back those spring football jamborees they were fun to watch and 8 months without high school football is just too long. Bears don't even hibernate that long !
Good Luck and can't wait till August !

I hope it does work out. I would hate to see the kids suffer because of coaching methods. I also feel that this is Camden and not much will change. Talent is talent. That brings me back to what I said last season, "Sometimes kid's win, despite their coaching, on talent alone".
April 30th, 2013
2:16 pm
Not a whole alot of changes we just gonna reload and keep doing what we do as far as NORTH GWINNETT, they can't handle our speed it 's gonna be alot of fun this season when everyone is standing around eating crow sandwiches,believe me CAMDEN WILL BE FINE………..

Predicting the Weather
|Time Required
|Average (6-10 days)

|Readily available
|Low ($20 - $50)
|No issues
AbstractHere's a good way to get yourself on TV! This science fair project will help you learn how to predict the weather. So who knows, maybe you'll be more accurate than your local meteorologist. You just might get hired! (Someday.)
The objective of this experiment is to find the most accurate way to predict the weather without using advanced technology, like satellites and computers. The two methods compared are the scientific (using homemade instruments) and the traditional (using observations of nature) methods.

|Figure 1. Kite for meteorological observations.
Predicting the weather has become a science in itself. Through the use of satellite images and a variety of data-collection tools, we can now develop fairly accurate predictions of our weather patterns. Before the development of these more-advanced techniques, people used basic tools and/or stories and sayings to capture nature's signals of changes in weather, such as:
- Bad weather is coming when the cows lie down.
- Good weather is coming when the bees are busier than usual.
- Bad weather is coming when your bones or joints ache.
If you want to see how well this and other folklore predicts the weather, join Mari and Lindsay in the DragonflyTV video on the right as they watch the sky, make a homemade barometer, and put cows, bees, bones, and hair to the test for nine days, to see if natural signals can tell you what the weather is going to be like the next day. Which is more effective as a tool for prediction: our homemade instruments or nature's indicators?
Terms and Concepts
In order to properly conduct this science fair project, you will need to learn the basics about weather. What is weather and what are the major factors that cause our weather to change?
Some key terms to understand:
- Atmospheric pressure (also known as barometric pressure)
- Relative humidity
- Dew point
- Air temperature and how it varies relative to atmospheric pressure
- Wind speed
Since you will also be constructing some homemade instruments to help you capture data, you will need to understand how each of the following instruments works:
- Hygrometer
- Barometer
- Weather vane
- TPT. (2006). Forecasting by Mari and Lindsey. DragonflyTV, Twin Cities Public Television. Retrieved November 13, 2008, from http://pbskids.org/dragonflytv/show/forecasting.html?video=forecasting
Basics of weather:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather
- http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/basics/wworks0.htm
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a government organization that collects, analyzes, and disseminates data on weather. Their website has an abundance of information on weather: http://www.noaa.gov/
- The Unisys Weather site (http://weather.unisys.com/) provides a complete source of graphical weather information. The graphics and data are displayed as a meteorologist would expect to see them. For the novice user, there are detailed explanation pages to guide them through the various plots, charts and images.

Materials and Equipment
- Homemade weather instruments (see links above for specific instructions and materials required to build each of these instruments):
- Barometer
- Hygrometer
- Weather Vane
- Weather Lore:
- To measure general weather observe: "Red sky at night, sailor's delight; Red sky in morning, sailor take warning."
- To measure humidity observe: "A ring around the moon or sun, and rain approaches on the run."
- To measure barometric pressure observe: "Sea gull, sea gull, sit on the sand, It's never good weather while you're on the land."
- To measure wind direction observe: blowing smoke or leaves.

Experimental Procedure
For the scientific method:
- Build each of the instruments you will use to capture your weather data.
- Collect data in your weather data chart twice daily (morning and evening).
- Based on the collected data, make morning and evening predictions about the oncoming weather and record these in our weather data chart.
- Compare each of your predictions to the control.
For the traditional (weather lore) technique:
- Observe "nature's signals" and collect data in your weather data chart twice daily (morning and evening).
- Based on the collected data, make morning and evening predictions about the oncoming weather and record these in our weather data chart.
- Compare each of your predictions to the control.
- Use the weather prediction in your local paper (or an online source, such as Unisys Weather, listed in the Bibliography) as the control and compare each of your predictions to the local paper. Make sure that you make your own predictions before reading the paper! ;-)

Duvel Green
Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat, Belgium
On draft at metro beer bars (prices vary)
Profile: Not exactly your usual St. Patrick's Day pint of plain, Duvel Green is nonetheless one of the most refreshing "green" beers you could grab to toast the traditional Irish holiday with a hearty slàinte.
It's sort of the gentler, less complicated little brother of the lively Duvel Belgian Golden Ale. And though it uses the same ingredients as the Golden, including Saaz and Styrian Golding hops,
Green is brewed exclusively to be poured on draft. It doesn't go through a secondary fermentation and it's lower in alcohol. In general, the hoppiness and carbonation are less pronounced. But it retains an elegant white head, beautiful pale golden color, and clean, slightly fruity flavor, with a smooth dry finish that recalls a great pilsner.
Pair with: Duvel Green would make a fine match for a variety of hors d'oeuvres, especially shrimp, oysters or clams. And it would pair well

Le Noir, pinch-hitting against RU reliever Aaron Kalb (Middletown, NJ), drove a three-run home run to center field, opening a 5-2 lead in the fifth. Kalb walked the inning's leadoff hitter, Brent Sollenberger and, after a strikeout, allowed a single to Pedro Pena, which set the stage for Le Noir.
The Monarchs struck first, pushing across a single run in the first, without a hit, on a walk, a passed ball, a groundout and a wild pitch. In the top of the second, however, Rutgers tied the game at 1-1 when Vinny Esposito (Middletown, NJ) led off with a double to the base of the fence in left-center, moved over to third on a groundout by Matt Wolski (Hamilton, NJ) and scored on a hit-and-run single by Alberto Vaqsuez (Jersey City, NJ).
The score remained tied into the fourth, when ODU's Evan Chipman walked, stole second and third on consecutive pitches and scored on a successful squeeze bunt by Jesse Schoendiest to give the Monarchs a 2-1 lead. As they did three innings earlier, RU rebounded to tie the game as Jason Grover (Montgomery, NJ) roped a one-out double to center and scored on a sharp single to right by Graig Badger (Union, NJ).
Shaun Parker (Westampton, NJ), the first junior college transfer to join the team since Ken Ulrich in 1999, started and pitched four innings, allowing six hits and two runs, both earned. Kalb (0-1) worked the fifth, allowing two hits, two walks and three runs. Esposito had two of the team's five hits, while Grover added a double and Badger and Vasquez contributed RBI singles.
The two teams will reconvene at 12:00 noon on Sunday, one hour earlier than the originally-scheduled 1:00 start time, to complete today's contest, while the third and final game of the series will begin shortly thereafter.

RICE LAKE, WI (WTAQ) - Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has withdrawn his endorsement of a northwest Wisconsin state lawmaker who said he was told by his father that "some girls rape easy."
Ryan's congressional campaign said Thursday it would no longer endorse Assembly Republican Roger Rivard of Rice Lake in his re-election contest next month against Democrat Stephen Smith.
Smith's campaign made an issue about remarks that Rivard made to a Chetek newspaper last December about a high school rape case. He said his father warned him that some girls and women can agree to sex, and then claim later it was not consensual.
Rivard said he was not quoted in his full context – and he later tried to clarify that his father was advising him not to have pre-marital sex, and that sexual assault is a, "horrible act of violence." But his opponent said Rivard's views are "extreme."
Kevin Seifert of the Ryan camp called Rivard's comments "outrageous, offensive," and "indefensible."
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Governor Scott Walker and U.S. Senator Ron Johnson also endorsed Rivard – and they have not said whether they'll keep doing so. GOP Senate candidate Tommy Thompson also denounced Rivard's comments Thursday, saying offenders must be held accountable to, "the utmost degree."
Smith said he didn't get wind of his opponent's remarksuntil after this summer's flap over House Republican Todd Akin's claim that women can avoid pregnancies in cases of "legitimate rape."
Ryan and others called on Akin to withdraw his Senate candidacy – but Akin refused to do so.

Classic Salsa Verde
Photo: Iain Bagwell
Tomatillos and fresh chiles give this salsa a bright, "green" flavor, and toasting the ingredients contributes a smoky element (plus it loosens the chiles' skins). Mexican cooks traditionally use a griddle or comal to toast salsa ingredients, but a broiler chars the chiles more evenly.
This recipe goes with Striped Bass with Classic Salsa Verde, Orange Chicken Skewers with Classic Salsa Verde, Fried Panko-coated Cheese with Classic Salsa Verde
Yield: Makes 1 3/4 cups

- 1/2 pound tomatillos*, husked and rinsed
- 1 thick onion slice
- 1 large poblano* chile
- 1 1/2 medium serrano chiles (see
- 1/2 ripe avocado (optional), peeled
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- About 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1. Preheat broiler and set a rack 3 in. from heating element. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and set tomatillos, onion, poblano, and serranos in it.
- 2. Broil the vegetables, turning as needed, until tomatillos and onion are speckled brown and chiles are black all over, 12 to 15 minutes; as vegetables are done, transfer to a bowl. Cover vegetables with a plate or foil and let stand about 5 minutes for chile skins to loosen.
- 3. Pull off stems and blackened skins from chiles; for best flavor, don't rinse chiles (a few blackened bits are okay to leave on). Open poblano and remove seeds.
- 4. In a food processor, pulse vegetables and any juices; avocado, if using; cilantro; and garlic until coarsely puréed. Scrape into a bowl and stir in 1/4 cup water, lime juice, and 3/4 tsp. salt. Season to taste with salt.
- *Tart-tasting tomatillos look like green tomatoes with papery husks. Poblanos (sometimes mislabeled as pasillas) are large, meaty, deep green chiles with a fairly mild flavor; find them in your grocery store's produce section.
- Make ahead: Chill up to 2 days; if using avocado, smooth plastic wrap against surface and chill up to 1 day only.
- Add Heat to Taste: You can control the heat of a salsa by adjusting the heat of the chiles. Slice off the top of each chile, being sure to cut through the ribs and seeds, where the heat-producing compound capsaicin is concentrated. Test the chile's fire by touching the top to your tongue (each chile has a different heat level). Adjust the heat, if you want a milder salsa, by splitting the chile and scraping out some or all of the ribs and seeds. If your skin is sensitive, wear kitchen gloves or hold chiles with a fork-and don't touch your eyes.

Program Combats Hopelessness Among Inner-City Youth
At 2:59 p.m. outside a former Beechwood Street church, young Dorothy sits, waiting. For her, this abandoned Detroit church is a place of refuge.
Dorothy lives in a methamphetamine home -- her guardians produce and sell meth around her every day. They have neglected to provide Dorothy basic needs such as clean clothes and food. But at 3 p.m., a S.A.Y. Yes! (Save America's Youth -- Yes!) center begins inside the church.
S.A.Y. Yes! centers provide after-school mentoring and tutoring for inner-city youth who constantly face the threats of poverty, drugs and violence, encouraging them to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ. It was here that S.A.Y. Yes! staff members changed Dorothy's life by cleaning her face, doing her hair and helping with homework.
"When someone cares for and loves you, it gives you confidence and helps you be who God wants you to be," says Joy Davis, Detroit's S.A.Y. Yes! coordinator.
Because of the S.A.Y. Yes! center, Dorothy's grades improved and she has accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior after watching The Story of Jesus for Children DVD.
"God directed my steps to work with S.A.Y. Yes!" says Joy, "and I have felt God's hand in my life from the beginning. He hasn't stopped blessing and reassuring me that the calling He has on my life is from Him."
Today there are 9 S.A.Y. Yes! centers hosted by inner-city churches in Detroit.
Joy calls today's youth an "endangered species" because their generation is in danger of losing hope. Through the work of S.A.Y. Yes! centers, children like Dorothy have somewhere to turn when their hope is gone.

Death, taxes and traffic are often called the three certainties of life. At social gatherings, traffic and its impact to our lives is a common topic. "Traffic is bad and it's getting worse" one might say. "If it gets any worse, I am going to…" another might say. Until recently, traffic and its horrors has been a largely anecdotal discussion. "If you think your commute is bad, you should try to get from ( ) to ( ) at 8am; I bet it's the worst commute in town."
How bad is traffic? Where are the worst places and the worst times to drive? London or Manchester? New York or L.A.? On the M25 or the M6? Monday morning or Friday evening? How does UK traffic compare to France or Germany? How does traffic in Europe compare with the U.S.? With increasing amounts of data and cutting edge analytics techniques, we now have the data and tools required to adequately analyze and address these issues.
Drawing on more than six years of trend data, this 2012 Annual Report documents that traffic congestion across Europe dropped 18 percent and North America dropped 22 percent last year compared to 2011. Of the 15 countries analysed in the 2012 report, Portugal experienced the biggest decline (-50%), Spain (-38%) and Italy (-34%) – interestingly these are the same countries that continue to struggle the most through the European debt crisis mirror those with the largest drops in traffic congestion. Despite being considered the strongest European economies, troubles across the Eurozone fueled declines in Germany (-15%), Netherlands (-15%) and France (-10%). Luxembourg was the only country to experience an increase in traffic congestion in 2012 at 29%. No surprise given that Luxembourg has the best per capita income with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Although it's a small economy, it's GDP of $55.9 billion equates to a GDP of $106,958 per person.
Analysis of traffic congestion in the first 3 months of 2013 shows some signs for optimism – particularly in the U.S. and Ireland. Among all 15 countries analyzed worldwide, only three (Luxembourg, Ireland and the U.S.) have experienced increases in 2013. Traffic congestion in the first three months of 2013 is up 4%, Ireland is up 10% and Luxembourg is up 38% combined with a declines and unemployment and a return of consumer spending. By contrast, Eurozone countries continue to experience even greater declines in the first 3 months of the year with Portugal (-68%), Spain (-57%), Italy (-33%), Germany (-23%), France(-6%), U.K Z(-11%) and Netherlands (-26%). Only France appears to be bucking the trend with traffic congestion down just 6% in comparison to the 10% decline in 2012.
In the U.S., a stop and go economy resulting from consumers and employers taking a "wait and see" approach through numerous tax and fiscal deadlines in 2012 stalled the economy and any rises in traffic congestion. By contrast, resolution to payroll tax extension and the temporary budget fix from the sequester helped create enough certainty in the first quarter of 2013 for employers to resume hiring (up 1.3%) and consumers to spending (consumer confidence is at its highest rate in 2+ years) While fuel prices have remained relatively stable in 2013, high unemployment and the debt crisis have been the primary drivers of Europe's declines.
In summary, the data paints a picture of a "Stop n Go Economy" worldwide where shifts in traffic congestion are indicative of shifts in the broader economic health of the countries and cities examined in the report.
Since its groundbreaking first publication in 2007, the INRIX Traffic Scorecard Annual Report has analyzed and compared the status of traffic congestion throughout the top 100 metropolitan markets in the U.S. and the nation as a whole. In 2010, INRIX also introduced the Scorecard for major countries throughout Europe. Reviewed by regional departments of transportation, academics, media, city planners, economists and everyday drivers, the INRIX Traffic Scorecard has become a trusted benchmark for understanding traffic congestion and an indicator of the health of our local economies.
Drawing on six years of trend data, the 2012-2013 Annual Report shows that traffic congestion is up 4 percent already in 2013 compared to 2012. After cuts in government spending during the final months of 2012 brought the economic recovery to a virtual halt, economic sentiment improved during the first three months of 2013 and data indicates that traffic congestion is once again on the rise as a result. This suggests that after a tumultuous economic year in 2012, the economy may be back on the mend for good, and with that bringing increased traffic congestion.
Initial INRIX 2007 Traffic Scorecard Annual Report was transformative in its ability to illustrate how "Big Data" crowd-sourced in real-time from actual vehicles and mobile devices traveling our road networks could be archived and analyzed to provide a comprehensive, consistent and timely measure of traffic congestion nationwide. The 2008 Annual Report documented the dramatic 30%+ plunge in congestion from 2007 caused by 2008's skyrocketing fuel prices, high unemployment and sharp reductions in consumer spending during the recession – validating traffic's value as an economic indicator. The 2009 and 2010 Annual Reports showed that the drop in congestion had ended and appeared to "reset" to 2004/2005 levels, prompting INRIX data analysts to predict that future traffic patterns will be heavily influenced by the rate and pace of economic recovery. In 2011, this prediction proved true as traffic congestion decreased 24% as a result of a sluggish economy.
Despite economic ups and downs throughout 2012, INRIX reports that congestion back on the rise in 2013 – congestion in January through March 2013 is already 4 percent higher than the same time period in 2012, indicating that after 2012's rollercoaster, the economy may be on the road to recovery for good.
However, with congestion continuing to decline last year, the Scorecard found the nation's INRIX Index for 2012 decreased 22 percent from 8.4 in 2011 to 6.6 in 2012. Traffic congestion remained relatively consistent throughout the year, with a peak congestion level (INRIX Index) of 7.1 in both September and October, following a low of 5.9 in July. In this section of the Annual Report, we look closely at national employment levels, urban interstate traffic volumes and U.S. gas prices to determine their effect on traffic congestion. The tables below show year-to-year changes in several key statistics, each based on data from the appropriate federal agency.
Fuel Prices
Fuel prices in 2012 experienced several peaks and valleys, with a high reached in April ($3.90 per gallon average) and a low hit in December ($3.31 per gallon average). Prices were consistently higher during the first four months of 2012 than in 2011. In May, the trend reversed and prices throughout the late spring/early summer (May-July) were lower than 2011 levels. In August, 2012 prices once again outpaced the previous year, and this continued throughout the remainder of the year. Overall, the average gallon rose $0.10 from $3.52 in 2011 to $3.62 in 2012, a nearly three percent increase. In 2013, fuel prices have risen nearly 12 percent from January through March. However, the average cost per gallon in 2013 is still lower than in 2012.
(U.S. Regular, All Formations)
Traffic Volumes
Travel on roadways classified as "Urban Interstates" by the Federal Highway Administration (the roads that most closely align with the roads analyzed in the Scorecard) declined 1.2% in 2012. This decrease, similar to the level of decline from 2010-2011, is likely due to less Americans driving overall either because they are out of work, stopped looking for a job or just trying to spend less on gas in a tight economy. Already in 2013, overall traffic volumes are up compared to the same period in 2012 (January through March).
(in billions)
Total employment in the U.S. increased by nearly 2.3 million jobs in 2012, a nearly two percent increase over 2011 (up from a 1 percent increase from 2010-2011). Still, from its 2007 peak, America is down nearly 4 million jobs nationwide at the conclusion of 2012. So far in 2013, employment has increased by 1.3 percent.

High Impact Art: Rasterbator Shingle Wall
We all remember The Rasterbator, right? Where you can rasterize images to make them huge, print them out in tile format on sheets of paper, then hang them on your walls? We were always a little bothered by the grid necessitated by hanging many individual sheets of paper. Until, that is, we saw this wall:
Each sheet of paper has been cut with a curve in the bottom corners and hung in an overlapping pattern, which gives the wall the effect of shingles. Absolutely genious.

I love the overall look this gives. The one thing I would probably change would be to put very light backing to the pages so that they wouldn't flutter up every time someone walked by or opened the door to a gust of wind. And that would help preserve it so guests wouldn't accidentally crumple a page.
Does it look like to anyone else that the kids are in the beginning stages of doing the YMCA?
Very cool. BTW - those look like North Koreans to me. Any idea about where the picture came from?
That looks nice there but I don't know if I'd want to do that. I suppose it's a temporary project that can always be changed or removed! In that way I think it's a great thing to do to mix it up a bit.
I agree with ElaneB - it looks like a North Korean propaganda poster with pretty women doing calisthenics. I've seen it before, but I can't place it.
"Absolutely genious."
That is genius...
Thanks, kirstlambert, that's just what I was going to point out. :)

The goals of alternative treatments for fibromyalgia are to reduce muscle pain and stiffness, improve sleep, and teach patients to recognize and reduce stress. As is the case with many alternative treatments for any disease or condition, opinions are often mixed as to the efficacy of some treatment methods, and research is often minimal in comparison to traditional medicine treatments.
However, many people have had success in using alternative treatments in the management of many diseases and conditions, including fibromyalgia. Before trying any fibromyalgia alternative treatments, you should always check with your doctor to be sure that the methods are safe and right for you.
Acupuncture is a practice of traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body in order to balance the flow of energy. Acupressure is similar, but applies pressure to the same points rather than using needles and can be self-administered. Both techniques have had mixed results in studies. They may be able to reduce pain and improve sleep for some people, but their level of effectiveness is not clear.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care uses various techniques to correct misalignment of the spine and other joints in order to relieve pain and other symptoms. Chiropractors may also incorporate stretching and massage techniques.
Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness is a type of meditation practice that teaches you to concentrate on the present moment. It often incorporates relaxation techniques, deep breathing, and yoga-style stretching. Studies have shown mindfulness meditation can significantly reduce fibromyalgia pain.
Herbs and Supplements
Several over-the-counter herbs and natural supplements have shown promise for fibromyalgia patients:
Magnesium is a mineral found in many foods. Studies have shown that fibromyalgia patients tend to be deficient in magnesium and that taking a magnesium supplement can reduce pain.
Capsaicin is a chemical found in spicy peppers. It is available in a cream that is applied directly to painful areas of the body. Studies have found that capsaicin can reduce fibromyalgia pain and that it reduces levels of substance P, a chemical involved in the body's pain response.
Melatonin is a hormone the body uses to regulate sleep cycles. It has been found to improve sleep in people with jetlag and insomnia, but evidence for its effectiveness in improving sleep in fibromyalgia patients is unclear.
Valerian is an herb that can improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and relax muscles. There have been no studies of valerian use for fibromyalgia, but it has shown promise for other diseases.


text: Tomorrow's train traffic systems requires new strategies and solutions for efficient traintraffic control and utilization of track capacity, especially in traffic systems with a highdegree of deregulated and mixed traffic. There are many different goals associated withthe traffic control tasks and the work of the traffic controllers (dispatchers). Examples aresafety, efficiency of the traffic with regard to timeliness and energy consumption, goodservice and information to passengers and customers etc. Today's traffic controlsystems and user interfaces do not efficiently support such goals. In earlier research wehave analyzed important aspects of the traffic controller's tasks, strategies, decisionmaking, use of information and support systems etc. Based on this research we,together with Banverket (Swedish Rail Administration), have designed prototypesystems and interfaces that better can meet future goals and contribute to more optimaluse of infrastructure capacity. These prototype systems have now been developed into afully operational system which has been tested during 6 months, for control of train trafficin a section of the Swedish rail system. The evaluation shows that the system efficientlysupports control tasks and is well accepted by the involved traffic controllers.

I have very dry skin and I love all of their products. This facial moisturizer is not greasy and when you smooth it into your face it feels wonderful!
I don't use anything else, I am so happy I found this product.
Laura (Submitted on 10th Jun 2014)
I have very dry sensitive skin, and needed to find a moisturizer I could tolerate that would hydrate my skin and that I could wear under makeup. This stuff is perfect for that. It absorbs pretty quickly, is quite moisturizing, and doesn't cause my makeup to slide off. Will definitely repurchase.
Sara (Submitted on 28th May 2014)
It's an okay daily moisturizer but I wouldn't repurchase it because it's VERY greasy, even after it sets. It has adisgusting "glue" like texture, could just be my bottle? . When I was on edpuduo a while back, I used this and it didn't help with the dryness. Just because there's so many other moisturizers not only from cetaphil, I'll probably end up purchasing something different.

For those of us who enjoy all brands of football, Wednesday was a big day.
The NFL season ended in February. Since then, we've been waiting for the first look at the Toronto Argonauts at minicamp to get our football fix and on Wednesday, we got our chance.
Tuesday's heavy rain moved practice from Erindale to Thomas Aquinas Secondary School in Oakville. Rookies and QBs reported, though there were some familiar faces among the so-called newcomers. DB Jalil Carter, who started at corner in last year's Grey Cup win, joined DL Donte Paige-Moss and WR Quincy Hurst as returnees who were eligible to practice due to their limited game action a year ago.
There were five QBs in red shirts on Wednesday. Veterans Ricky Ray, Trevor Harris and Zach Collaros were joined by newcomer Mitchell Gale and Burlington native Will Finch from Western -- this year's CIS QB. Finch went to the Ticats camp last year, giving him two pro camps before his 20th birthday.
Most eyes were trained on a couple of wide receivers, with NFL lineage who were both top ten picks in their draft year. Mike Williams was the tenth pick of the Detroit Lions in 2005, Reggie Williams was the ninth pick in the draft the year before, going to Jacksonville. Both have height (Reggie is 6'4, Mike is an inch taller) and good hands, and they each look to be in good shape. It appeared, at one point, that Mike Williams may have tweaked something in his leg after being pressed in a drill. After taking a knee for a bit of a break, he finished the practice without missing a snap. If one or both Williams' make the club, it will add much needed size to the receiving corps.
There were no contact drills at all on Day One.
One way that a rookie can catch the eye of the coaching staff is by standing out on special teams. Perhaps the most interesting thing on the first day of any CFL camp is watching the American rookies try to get used to the no yards rule. Special Teams Coordinator Mike O'Shea ran some drills on Wednesday and it was evident not every player read the rule book before heading north.
Thursday it's back to Erindale for a 2:15pm ET practice.

Raj Mathur was a hacker with mad skillz, FOSS evangelist extraordinaire, and an all around awesome guy. His untimely passing yesterday is a devastating shock.
Raj was my Unix mentor. I will always remember fondly the many late nights I diligently worked through his whiskey stock while he sipped on his Old Monk rum, as we played with daemons, kernels, pipes, forks and sockets, and even kermit.
He was also my first ever business partner. Always the consummate professional, he made sure clients got more than what they paid for, on time, with full documentation and great support.
As one of the first and most active FOSS hackers in India, Raj directly touched the lives of thousands of FOSS users and developers all over the country, through his participation in conferences, educational initiatives, media outreach, users groups and mailing lists. His home was always a hive of eager young hackers with whom he freely shared the intellectual wealth of his considerable experience.
He was a man of broad vision and a love of freedom. He understood the risks to individual freedom posed by government surveillance and censorship, and campaigned tirelessly against such attacks on our personal liberties. Just a few weeks ago I was surprised to see him on ABC News in Australia, talking about the privacy implications of the proposed Universal ID card in India.
Above all, for me, he was one of my best friends. Despite his busy schedule he was always up for any adventure. His positive outlook and quirky sense of humour made him an awesome co-conspirator both in front of the computer and away from it. And when the chips were down, he could always be counted on to come through.
It seems impossible that a person so full of life and energy can suddenly be gone. I just can't come to grips with it.
Adios my friend. I sure hope you're out there in the Civilization of the Universe, enjoying some truly out-of-this-world psychedelic trance.
Back on Earth, you are sorely missed!
I just saw the stupidest thing ever, on Google's home page.
It's called "Earth Hour".
I'll let the geniuses at Google explain:
"Earth Hour invites one billion people in more than 2800 cities representing 83 countries to turn off their lights for one hour – tonight, Saturday, March 28 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Paris, Sydney, London, Cairo, New York, Los Angeles and Cape Town, will join together to demonstrate their commitment to energy conservation and sustainability."
Beautiful. So taking us back to the literal dark ages - without electric lighting - is supposed to demonstrate a commitment to "sustainability".
Sustainability of what, I wonder. Of stupidity? Of ignorance? Of political propaganda posturing as science? Of the cancer of fascism and communism?
There is no need for energy conservation on planet Earth. Decades ago, human beings learned to harness the energy that is released by splitting atomic nucleii, the same process that powers the Sun. We don't have no steenkin' energy problem - we have a means of creating virtually unlimited energy! James P Hogan wrote a great piece about this long ago, titled "Know Nukes".
We do have a steenkin' envirofascist problem, and it has infected all of the world's biggest companies now.
And they want us to switch of our lights. Sit in the dark. Or maybe use candles? Oh no, won't that cause CO2 emmission? Better sit in the dark.
And maybe crawl back into a cave too. If it was good enough for homo erectus, it's good enough for us!
Yet another illustration of Packwood's Law ("Sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from evil").
Got me an iPod Touch 2G recently. That's an iPhone without the phone, the camera, and the integrated microphone.
Been playing with it a bit and I must admit it's more revolutionary than I expected it to be, from what I'd read about it.
For starters, it is eminently usable for even complex tasks with just one hand. That in itself is a giant leap for mankind - or cyborgkind.

"My husband and I chose this announcement for our baby because we missed the boat on sending a "holiday" announcement, but with an early December baby, wanted the card to have a wintry theme.

2003 is the first vintage of Amancaya. It represents a fruity wine which is slightly tannic and where the charm of Malbec can fully assert itself. The shorter maceration and barrel ageing in comparison to CARO, favor fruit and roundness. Beautiful dark color; fruity (red fruit) and spicy notes on the nose. Nice concentration, fleshy, wood well melted with fruit. Gentle tannins and nice length. Amancaya is pleasant to drink soon after bottling or can be kept for 3 to 5 years.
Grape Varieties: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Malbec
CARO was born of an alliance between two wine cultures (French and Argentine), two noble grape varieties
(Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec), and two
renowned wine families (Domaines Barons de
Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolas Catena.)
Immediately after CARO's 2002 release, the first vintage

Games are won and lost in the trenches. That is something football fans have heard day in and day out and it is a saying that has proved to have some truth. When the Notre Dame Fighting Irish face off against the Alabama Crimson Tide on January 7th in Miami for the BCS National Championship, the tough match ups in the trenches will prove to be a deciding factor in who takes home the trophy.
Alabama senior defensive end and co-captain Damion Square is preparing for a tough, physical battle from the Notre Dame offensive line.
"They're a pretty good group. The center is a big, physical guy. All those guys have great size on them, great height. They protect the young guy back there pretty well. It's definitely a game we're going to have to strap it up and come to play. It's power football," said Square Those guys are coming at you and not trying to run around you. You have to bow your neck and get ready to go."
This is the third national championship appearance of Square's collegiate career, but he understands it will not be like the previous experiences.
"They're all different," Square said. "When you think about the bowl trips and the fun you have on the bowl trips, you try to imagine what you're going to do this trip that will set it apart from others besides the game.
"But they're all their own game. I've played in a few of them myself, but this one will be a different experience. Something will happen in the game or this bowl trip to make it more significant than the other ones or on another level.
We try to reach this point every year,. To work how we work, to get back to this point is exciting. It's great. You always want to get paid what you work for. If you work like a champion you want to be in a championship game. I feel like we work like champions."
Of course, while Square was discussing the upcoming game against Notre Dame, reporters couldn't help but to ask him about the rumors of head coach Nick Saban bolting for the NFL.
"Wherever he goes, this is the effect he has on places," Square said. "As long as he's here, this program is going to be a significant program that can compete for a long time.
"Even if he isn't, what he's established here will go on for some time. We're great players that are fortunate enough to get scholarships and come here and play in his system. We bought in and give credit to that guy to get 11 guys to buy into his system and play shutout football. We're great players, and great players come to this university. And this university is great. But credit to Coach Saban and what he does here and the system he runs."
Regardless of Saban's future, he has built a heck of a football team thanks to players like Damion Square. When the Crimson Tide take on Notre Dame, they'll be in for a physical contest that will put their dynasty to the test.

My passion for all things domestic was fueled in my teen and college years by the infamous Martha Stewart. Back then no other magazines had multi-page spreads on the amazing creations possible with a variety of cake pipping tips or gorgeous photograph composites of bowls of spices. I even started a Martha Stewart fan club in college (really an activity group to do crafts together) to get my fix of craftiness. I'm pretty sure I had the only dorm room with cafe curtains made from vintage napkins picked up at an estate sale and trimmed with ribbons.
So even though I don't read every issue of MSL anymore, her annual Home Issue is a favorite of mine. And when I saw it mentioned on one of my favorite blogger's blog (she was featured in "100 Great Finds for Every Room of the House") I popped out to Barnes & Noble to pick it up. It's not my favorite home issue to date, but it still has plenty of useful tips and good photography.
While I enjoy beautiful gardens, I leave the gardening work to my husband and mother. However, I do have favorites in the garden, and sedum is a key one. I love the diversity of colors, textures and shapes sedum is available in. They are often a key component in the mix of plants used on green roofs (roofs covered in plantings to absorb rainwater and minimize runoff).
I liked this layout with its mix of natural materials and clean lines. The brackets for the shelf would look too fussy if they weren't paired with that rustic wood shelf.
Now this article filled with Martha's advice on kitchen design and organization takes me to my happy place. Drawers neatly organized by function. Cute containers to achieve proper containment and separation. AND kitchen tools?! (My love of kitchen tools and gadgets comes from my mother. Do YOU have an angel food cake cutter? I do.) It's too much goodness in one place. I just wish I had that many drawers to begin with!
This party layout is at the end of an article about the condo of Kevin Sharkey, the executive editorial director of decorating. The decorating of his condo has been chronicled in previous issues, and this is the grand culmination showcasing how it all came together. It looks nice, but I actually loved the party photos best. They have a great energy and lightheartedness that's not often found in MSL party articles. An oreo cookie "cake"? Ping pong is a condo filled with expensive furniture and large mirrors? A faux frame drawn on a mirror? Love it. The balloons photo reminds me of the end of the movie 13 Going on 30. (There's a large scale photo shoot for a magazine with balloons and good looking people smiling and having a good time.)
Besides these articles there are also a number of helpful articles that you should be sure to check out. There's a great feature on how to layout a large wall installation of personal photographs, with step by step instructions, "Walls That Talk." If finding the right product to clean and repair all the different surfaces in your home is a struggle, be sure to read "Furniture First Aid."

News - Afghanistan
Two tribal elders abducted three days ago in the Manogai district of eastern Kunar province by armed men have been found dead, local officials said Wednesday.
The tribal elders were found stabbed to death and with their eyes cut out in Manogai's Zeer-Salam area Wednesday morning, district police chief Awaz Mohammad Nazeeri told TOLOnews.
"The elders have been stabbed and the gunmen have taken their eyes out," he said.
No one has been arrested over the case but the police are still investigating the incident, he added.
Motives for the kidnapping and murder of the two elders are unclear, according to Nazeeri, who did not know their names.
No group including the Taliban has claimed responsibility.
Manogai district is considered insecure in the province with active insurgents targeting local officials and police check-points.

The mishaps and difficulties had me upset when I arrived. The venue personnel provided GREAT customer service. All you have to do is calmly explain what you want, what you need, and they will try to work out a satisfactory resolution. This was my first visit to the Arena. In the end, it proved to be a very satisfying one.Walking With Dinosaurs: The Arena Spectacular info • Sep 16 2014 star this tip starred
I wound up having transportation problems and arrived just as intermission started. It was necessary to walk around the entire perimeter of the arena in order to reach Will Call. And that hike was after walking from the bus stop at Flower and Pico. I was not happy about that part of the experience. I didn't want to miss more of the performance because of searching for my seat. Because of the hike, I learned that one can take the Red Line and transfer to the Blue Line and have a very comfortable and timely trip. Or you can take the Red Line and transfer to the Dash bus and be dropped off right in front of the Arena.Walking With Dinosaurs: The Arena Spectacular travel • Sep 16 2014 star this tip starred

CHENEY, Wash. -- High school students from across the Northwest and beyond are putting their heads together for a local a robotics competition.
Thirty-eight teams are competing in the worldwide competition at Eastern Washington University, vying for a spot in the finals. All of the teams, including some from Mexico, design and build their robots within six weeks before testing their talents on stage in Cheney.
The goal for East Valley High School student Robert Stark's team is for their robot to land as many Frisbees in a basket as it can in 135 seconds. The teens standby, controlling their machine with a remote control, as it performs.
"If something goes wrong, it's all hands on deck. It's kind of like a NASCAR pit crew, but we have much less time," Stark said.
Down in the pit, the high school students and their mentors repair their contraptions. Another crew from Bonners Ferry has spent hours after their school days on their craft.
"I've always had a thing for electricity. I helped my dad rewire the house. It's fun to work with electricity, so I did some of the wiring with some help," Jordan Merz of Bonners Ferry High School said.
Merz's team competed in Portland and did well, but now they're hoping for a big win closer to home.
"We got some big competition here, but we've been doing this for a while. We're a semi-veteran team," Merz's teammate Tucker Cavender said.
Each team plays in 11 matches during the two-day competition. Each round, they hope their robots rise to the top. It's something organizers are proud of.
"We have a big shortage of scientists and engineers in the U.S. Programs like this will help us increase [the number of] students that will pursue science and technology education," Chairman of Washington First Robotics said.
The teams compete again Saturday at 9 a.m.
The six teams who win the regional competition will go to the world championship in St. Louis at the end of the month.

Stress-free tips and tricks for the holiday host
Plan ahead
Planning ahead with well thought-out lists of what to buy and do before your holiday party will make you more relaxed, and your event more successful. "If you're hosting dinner, then think about what time you'd like to serve and work backward from there" suggests Paula Rizzo of ListProducer.com. "Your list should include deadlines for purchasing items and preparing them, as well as notes about who you can ask for help getting it all done." Having a list will get you out of your head so you are able to enjoy your guests, Rizzo says.
Ask for help
No need to be a one-woman or one-man show as the holiday host. According to organization expert and author of Unstuff Your Life, Andrew Mellen, "When planning parties, especially around the holidays when expectations and stress levels increase, consider delegating tasks to everyone willing to help. Many hands make light work." Mellen says that assigning clearly defined roles to some friends and family members who are otherwise not comfortable at parties may not only help you, but also make their evening better.
Frugal fun
It may seem like you're spending your gift-giving budget on your holiday party, but with a little foresight you can reduce costs. "Buying supplies last-minute usually means overspending," so I pick up party-items like cocktail napkins, wine glasses, and tablecloths whenever I see a good deal, even if I don't have a party planned," says Carmen Wong Ulrich, president & co-founder of Alta Wealth Management. "Keep your party supplies organized so you can quickly and easily note what you have versus what you may be missing."
Clean house
We tend to tidy up the living room and clean the bathroom before guests arrive, but we may forget about the kitchen, the place where people usually congregate. Andrew Mellen, author of Unstuff Your Life, says the easiest way to make the kitchen presentable is to wash any oversized pots, pans and bowls, and run the dishwasher if there's time. (You'll thank yourself later.) "Set out some snacks and drinks," Mellen says. "If your guests are busy eating and drinking, they're too busy to notice much else."
Mini makeover
During the holidays when you reunite with loved ones, you want to look your best. You'll be on your feet at the party, so you need to be dressed comfortably. Luckily, being comfortable and stylish aren't mutually exclusive. Accessories expert and Kitten Lounge founder Kimmie Smith suggests that you transition from comfy to fab with a few carefully chosen accessories. "I'm all about layer pieces whether it's multiple necklaces or a few fabulous bangles," Smith says.
Pet project
Wendy Diamond, animal lifestyle expert and founder of Animal Fair Media, says that the easiest way to get your dog or cat involved in your holiday fête is to dress them up in a bow with extra ribbon. If your pet is prone to getting nervous around too many people or too much noise, however, don't let that stress you (or them) out. In that case, Diamond recommends: "Put your pets in a quiet room away from all of the commotion, with their favorite toys, water and a treat so they can relax."
Food for thought
We've all heard that time is money, and this is especially true during the busy holiday season. Carmen Wong Ulrich, finance expert and president of Alta Wealth Management, knows the cost-benefit ratio of making everything for your party from scratch. "You may think you're saving money by doing everything by hand, but whatever money you save, you lose in terms of time and effort." To reduce the time you spend working on the party and stressing out about timing, she suggests: "Look to local vendors or specialty shops for ready-made platters or easy-to-heat finger foods."
Unwind with wine
Hosting or attending a holiday party doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune on wine. If you're working within a budget, wine and spirits expert Michael Green suggests that you: "Look at less expensive grapes and regions. Rather than a pricey Chardonnay or Cabernet from Napa, look to some of the more affordable wines made from grapes from regions that offer up less expensive options. Think Carmenere from Chile or a Tempranillo from La Mancha."
Coffee, tea or flee
It's the sign of a good party if your guests don't want to leave, but you may be ready to say goodnight. Rather than kicking guests out of your home or staying up way past your bedtime, manners expert and author Thomas P. Farley suggests breaking out the coffee to signal that the night is winding down. "And if that doesn't work, bring out your slippers," he says. "Let's face it, hosting a party is work, and now you need your well-deserved rest."
Happy Holidays
Celebrating the holidays with loved ones is supposed to be fun - not stressful. Amy Spencer, author of BRIGHT SIDE UP: 100 Ways to Be Happier Right Now, encourages us to seek out the bright side, even when things feel like they are going terribly wrong. "If you spill a sauce, tip a tree, forget a present or burn food to a crisp, look for the ways they can add to the fun, not take it away," she says. "The good news is, the worse the situation, the more memorable your holiday will be."
