text: This week is National Farm Health and Safety week. It's a reminder for agriculture workers to encourage each other to take extra safety precautions in their fields."It's important to know what machinery you're operating and familiarize yourself with gears, the breaks," says Allan Hanley, President of the Yellowstone County Farm Bureau.Working on a farm is one of the most hazardous industries in the nation."Before they start using a new piece of machinery that they look at the operating guide and make sure they understand what the safety features are," says Hanley.According to a study conducted by the University of Vermont Extension office, ag workers are 800% more likely to die while working than other workers."These are powerful machines. So you're looking at amputation of body parts, and crush injuries. If you have a fire or explosion with those machineries, you've just now added a fire component, burn care. And safety is just really an integral part of farm and ranch occupation," says Randi Koehn, Trauma Coordinator at St. Vincent Healthcare.In addition to equipment, ATV accidents are becoming more prominent on farms."They're big. They have lots of power. They're fast. And sometimes when an inexperienced riders are operating ATVs. it's easy to get into a fix that they can't get out of," says Hanley.Fatalities and injuries among ag workers are on the rise, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor. But the St. Vincent Healthcare Rural Registry Program is designed to hopefully change that."What that is is a database essentially, that we encourage folks that live out in the country, on farms and ranches, to register with us," says T.C. Coble, Chief Flight Nurse at St. Vincent. Farm owners can register their home address, and have it readily accessible to healthcare officials if they need a help flight in an emergency. "The helicopters play a big role in being able to get the care that you would receive out in the larger medical centers, out to the patient in a timely manner."The Montana Farm Bureau Federation encourages farm workers to be aware of the type of clothing they wear when operating a machine, and where fire extinguishers and shut off systems are located.To find out more about the Rural Registry Program and to register, click on Connections.

SOURCE Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission
GATINEAU, QC, June 25, 2014 /CNW/ - The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) today announced the steps it will take to enhance Canadians' access to existing 9-1-1 services and facilitate the transition to next-generation 9-1-1 services.
The action plan published today was established further to a consultation in which Canadians were asked to identify and prioritize the matters within the CRTC's jurisdiction that should be addressed regarding 9-1-1 services. The CRTC regulates the telecommunications service providers that carry calls to 9-1-1 call centres, while emergency responders and call centres are under the jurisdiction of municipalities, provinces and territories.
During the recent consultation, some participants suggested that a national forum could be established to promote better coordination between the different partners in the provision of 9-1-1 services. As the 9-1-1 system is a shared responsibility, collaboration between all parties involved would be very helpful to not only improve the current system, but prepare it for next-generation 9-1-1 and new technologies.
The CRTC would be prepared to participate in such a forum and share its expertise in the areas under its jurisdiction.
In the meantime, the CRTC will review the regulatory framework for next-generation 9-1-1 and will launch a proceeding in early 2016 to ensure telecommunications service providers' networks can support new technologies when 9-1-1 call centres have the capabilities to use them.
The CRTC will also address certain priorities related to the existing 9-1-1 system. These include improving caller location information, reviewing the reliability and resiliency of 9-1-1 networks and supporting efforts to prevent accidental 9-1-1 calls.
Finally, in order to assist the CRTC in making decisions on various 9-1-1 matters, telecommunications service providers will be required to provide relevant data whenever necessary.
Through this action plan, the CRTC is ensuring that Canadian telecommunications networks are evolving at an appropriate pace to support Canadians' needs for effective access to 9-1-1 emergency services as part of a world-class communications system.
Quick Facts
"The health and safety of Canadians is improved through their communication system, in particular by ensuring they have effective access to 9-1-1 services. The action plan we have announced today will not only enhance access to existing services, but also ensure telecommunications networks are ready to support next-generation 9-1-1 services. This illustrates how we will continue to fulfill our mandate to ensure the communication system protects Canadians. As the governance for the 9-1-1 system is shared, we would also welcome greater coordination on 9-1-1 matters."

Caleb Carter received his BA (2000) in Philosophy from Colorado College, his MA (2008) in Buddhist Studies from UCLA, and is currently finishing his dissertation. His main focus lies in Japanese religions, particularly Shugendō (Japan's tradition of mountain asceticism). Other interests include Esoteric Buddhism, Chinese religions, place studies, pilgrimage, and gender, intellectual history. Caleb's research focuses on the formation of religious thought, practice and schools in the mountains of Japan from the fifteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries. Centered on the site of Mt. Togakushi (Nagano Prefecture, central Japan), his dissertation considers the emergence of Shugendō as well as a cult devoted to a nine-headed dragon. He conducted this research at Keio University (Tokyo) and Mt. Togakushi under fellowships from the Japan Foundation (2011-2012) and the Fulbright-Hays (2012-2013). Outside of studies, he's usually hanging out with his kids and occasionally outside rock climbing or attempting to surf.

Don't underestimate the impact of lighting in your home theater. Just because it'll be a darkened room when the movie starts doesn't mean all the lights have to be turned off, and don't forget that there's more than just sconce lighting out there.
This theater room, outfitted by Springfield, N.J.-based 6th Avenue Electronics, shows that you can go a little wild with lighting, depending on your tastes.
In here, fiber-optics were a favored design element, with a ceiling panel and side wall panels decked out in the starfield look. But there are also can ceiling lights, sconces, pin lights and even cup holder lights that are all controllable within the HAI lighting system.
The lighting isn't the only thing that gets shown off in this theater. Unlike some rooms, the front speakers and subwoofers are out in the open for everyone to see and hear—and why not? They're part of Paradigm's flagship Signature Series (and driven by processing and amplification from sister company Anthem).
Video features a combination of Marantz projector and Stewart Filmscreen screen, with an LG networked Blu-ray player allowing for high-def Blu-ray discs as well as streamed viewing of YouTube and Netflix videos.
"The homeowners wanted a space that they could easily come into, watch television or throw in a movie," says 6th Avenue's Netzer Martinez. "With ease of use at the top of their wish-list, they wanted a space where anyone in the family could go to and entertain, whether it be a using a gaming system, showing a YouTube video or an online Netflix experience."

PHOENIX (AP) - Phoenix's first licensed medical marijuana dispensary has opened its doors, but it can't serve any customers.
Bloom Sky Train executive director Lezli Engelking says a computer server run by the Arizona Department of Health Services was down Saturday and affected all of the state's marijuana dispensaries.
Bloom Sky Train has rescheduled its grand opening for Wednesday.
The dispensary is adjacent to the city's new Sky Train Terminal and the 44th Street light rail station.
Arizona voters approved medical marijuana by about 4,300 votes in 2010, authorizing its use for cancer and certain other medical conditions.
The Department of Health Services oversees Arizona's medical marijuana program and regulates dispensaries where patients and caregivers can legally buy marijuana. More than 35,000 people in Arizona have medical marijuana cards.

Public Policy
IBHS is an applied research and communications organization with expertise in a variety of mitigation-related public policy areas.
As a result, IBHS studies and educational materials are regularly referenced by loss prevention and reduction advocates in public policy debates around the country. The Institute's work also is routinely relied upon by public policymakers at the local, state and national levels. Because IBHS is a non-profit organization, the Institute's direct participation in lobbying activities is extremely limited and consistent with Internal Revenue Code rules. Within this context, IBHS representatives may testify at legislative hearings at the request of Congressional or state legislative committees.

James had been working at his part-time job at Transitions of Dedham when he saw Phenor slumped over on the floor; her breathing and pulse slowed during the incident, according to the AHA. James subsequently performed chest compressions until paramedics arrived.
The recognition will take place in Room 223A, the Health Assisting Classroom, at Blue Hills Regional today, Nov. 27, at 11 a.m., and will welcome the appearance of the following:
- Robert James, Dedham resident and junior at Blue Hills Regional Technical School

Almost 100 individuals and business entities based in Miami-Dade and Broward counties are named in the infamous "offshore leaks" database — which contains 2.5 million names of folks worldwide with secret offshore bank accounts that can be designed to hide assets.
The database, which includes the names and addresses of foreign account holders in such places as Cook Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Samoa, was leaked recently to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
While the database didn't yield household names, it contained names of international figures such as French President Francois Hollande's campaign treasurer, Russian oligarchs, a Canadian senator's husband and Denise Rich, wife of American oil trader and President Bill Clinton pardon seeker Marc Rich.
Offshore banking has become such a hot potato that calls to end tax havens were heard at the recent G8 summit.
The journalism group, meanwhile, finally made the database public last week. It shows that in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area, several doctors, an Internet entrepreneur and well-heeled families with expansive trust accounts put money abroad over the past 30 years.
While more than half closed the accounts after the United Stated promised amnesty for taxpayers who'd bring their money back stateside, many are still active.
Because of the controversial nature of offshore banking, however, few locals named in the database agreed to be interviewed.
Broward asset preservation lawyer Bernard Singer comes up as the administrator of one fund. He agreed to chat because his clients are on the up-and-up — or they wouldn't be his clients, he said.
"I can't believe this information is out there," he said of the database. "A lot of people are not going to be happy."
Singer cautioned that not all of those named opened accounts abroad to escape the IRS or for nefarious reasons. It can be done legally, he said. For example, Singer set up a trust fund in the Cook Islands for now-retired Hollywood plastic surgeon Richard Edison, whose name is in the database.
Why did he send cash abroad? Unhappy patients!
"Doctors used to set up these trust funds abroad to protect their assets from malpractice lawsuits," Edison said. "They wanted to protect the things they worked for all their lives."
To find out if anyone you know is in the database, log on to http://offshoreleaks.icij.org.
Strange encounter
The death last week of James Gandolfini, the 51-year-old star of The Sopranos, reminded me of my attempt to interview him during a viewing party of the series finale at the Seminole Hard Rock Resort & Casino.
Gandolfini, who was at the casino in June 2007 with a dozen of the top actors from the HBO show, mistook me for a reporter of the New York Post.
The paper had outed his mistress a few years earlier, costing him his marriage and a boat load of cash, and Gandolfini clearly still held a grudge.
Before I could tell him I had nothing to do with that paper, he extended one of his huge paws and pulled me hard into his chest.
And like Tony Soprano would give a traitor the kiss of death, Gandolfini planted a wet kiss on my right cheek, then walked away without saying a word.
Obviously, there'd be no interview.
E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who died two years ago, watched the scene and cracked up.
"You don't understand," he said. "These guys just play themselves, not characters."

Teacher quality

Parent involvement
I am very happy with this school as well as the staff. My daughter had a great year in Kindergarten, her teacher was outstanding! Very dedicated to her students!
I am very happy with everyone here and everyones work ethics. The entire staff is dedicated and gets along very well. This school has gone through major improvements and are working harder and harder to improve students grades and involvement with the parents. Our staff is very dedicated to helping our children for a better future. Burbank is the Best.
my consern is why my child has to be capped out to another school when they have been going to the same school for 4 years. I am an afican american parent. I see that there are 77% Hispanic or Latino children at the school and 15% African American children attending Burbank Elemetary School. Why should mines have to be capped out to another school? Why the Be Still Program goes into effect November of 2005 (no roll over from the following school year.) I feel it is a question of race and not the class size! It is also an incovenice to other parents as well as my self. What about those parents who don't have transportation, and their childs school being close to their homes, just incase an emergency may arrive and they can get to their children a quickly as possible and the school not report about latepickup.

Using a restaurant coupon? Don't be a jerk
A guide to using your coupon without demonstrating to the server that you're stupid or cheap.
Lots of restaurants are so desperate for business right now that dining coupons are relatively easy to come by. (And we help you locate them every week.) That being said, there's nothing wrong with using a little etiquette while you're getting 20% off, or two dinners for the price of one, or a free appetizer or piece of cheesecake.
It appears that some of you have been acting like jerks. Hanna Raskin observes in a post at Slashfood that "coupon users tend to be among the most impolite diners."
To avoid being that person, read her tips. Among them:
Know thy coupon. "A coupon is a gift from the restaurant, not a negotiation tool," she writes. That means the information in the fine print is final, not a suggestion. If it says it applies only to dessert, that does not mean an extra bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy or onion rings. If you don't understand the terms, ask before you order, not after you get the bill.
- Bing: Find restaurant coupons
Neither is your coupon a prop. She says that some people are so nervous they'll be charged full price that they'll build "a little coupon shrine" on the table. "See me! Don't overlook me!" it screams. "All that conveys is cheapness, which is what all servers dread," Raskin writes.
What's a diner to do? We like this suggestion from a reader named "dtm": "I think it's reasonable to ask the server at the beginning of service -- along the lines of, 'Is it possible to use this tonight?' Ask this with the drink order and then consider your food options."
Some of Slashfood's readers objected to Raskin's tone. (We found it to be entertaining.) The comments at her post suggest there's a big disconnect sometimes between people who dine and the employees who wait on them.
How does her final point sit with you? She says you should tip as you would if you were paying the full price of your meal. Some coupons spell out an 18% tip on the regular price, she says. If your coupon doesn't, remember that "your server works just as hard to bring you a free meal as one purchased without a coupon."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis made mistakes in the way it handled allegations of clergy sexual misconduct in the last decade, Archbishop John Nienstedt acknowledged Thursday as he pledged to take new steps to protect the faithful.
Nienstedt apologized to victims in his comments posted on the website of The Catholic Spirit, the archdiocese's official newspaper, and said he knows the ultimate responsibility is his as the head of the local church.
"My heart is heavy with the agony that these errors have caused," he wrote.
The archdiocese has come under fire since a whistleblower claimed that church leaders mishandled abuse allegations.
"The first thing that must be acknowledged is that over the last decade some serious mistakes have been made," Nienstandt wrote.
In an email to Minnesota Public Radio News on Wednesday, Nienstedt denied any cover-up of abuse. He repeated the archdiocese's assertion that there are no offending priests in active ministry. He also said he has not offered to resign.
Nienstedt has denied interview requests from The Associated Press
He wrote Thursday that there's reason to question whether policies were uniformly followed, as well as a question about the "prudence of the judgments that have been made." He has already set up a task force to review church policies, and said he is committed to implementing their recommendations.
Nienstedt pledged to do more. He's ordered an outside review of all priest files, and he said he would recommit himself to never knowingly assign a clergy member to a parish or school if he has concerns that the clergy member will cause harm. He promised a rigorous analysis of priests before assignments are made.
"We must also be committed to honestly and transparency," he wrote. "This must be the result of our own self-examination, inner purification and spiritual renewal."
Niendstedt said the church must cooperate with civil authorities.
He also said media reports and letters from Catholics and the general public have made him "aware that there is real fear that some priests in ministry today constitute a danger to children.
"I could never knowingly allow such a situation," he said.

Edmonton Oilers defenceman Corey Potter is the latest player to get involved with what's been a busy month for the NHL Department of Player Safety.
Potter had a phone hearing with Player Safety on Monday for boarding Anaheim forward Nick Bonino in Sunday night's Oilers/Ducks game. The phone hearing means any possible suspension will not exceed five game under the League's collective bargaining agreement.
The incident happened in the second period Sunday when Potter followed Bonino to the boards, shoving him from behind and causing him to fall awkwardly.
He received a five-minute checking from behind penalty as well as a 10-minute and game misconduct penalty. Bonino returned to the game shortly afterwards.
Potter has no prior history of suspensions in the NHL.

Sick!England x Reader - Bath TalkYou were greeted with the gentle, faint aroma of tea and roses once you opened the door to your English friend's house, his spare key clutched in your hand as you peered inside.There was nothing out of the ordinary; as usual, Arthur's house was kept in wonderful condition, with everything clean and not a speck of dust in sight. Closing the door behind you, you quickly locked it and put the key away before sighing.Arthur had called you earlier, requesting that you come over. He was bedridden at the moment, and he absolutely refused to bring over Alfred to take care of him since last time the American had tried to place a hamburger on his head as a way of curing him.It was funny, yes, but Arthur had informed you that he'd rather not have 'that greasy morsel' – you were quoting his words – on his forehead."Arthur?" you called out softly, quietly climbing the stairs so you wouldn't disturb the ill Englishman.There was
Scars (Levi X Reader)~A/N: Listen to this as you read! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6ip3X-xguQ ~A cascade of amber light shone on his features, tracing every dip and curve he held. The deep orange of the sky was no match to his dark grey orbs. They swiveled with emotions too powerful for words, thoughts too complex to explain. His lips were pressed into a firm line, refusing to let anything escape. The wind teased with the ends of his raven hair, allowing them to drift back and forth with an almost hypnotic rhythm.A soft smile made its way up to your lips as you watched his brows furrow in concentration. You often did this with him, gaze out the window that overlooked the trees. It was almost as if you could see everything. Of course, until the walls blocked your view. The small amount of time you spent at the window with him seemed to relax all the tension that built up in his mind.Although, today it seemed like he wasn't relaxing as much. If anything, he was thinking more. It worried
Levi x Reader |Flustered|"I can't believe it! This is truly a wonderful find." Hanji, your insanely annoying friend exclaimed, which caused you to uncomfortably shift around, a natural frown gracing your face."Hanji, shut up." You murmured, voice muffled by the fact your hands flew to your face in humiliation. Hanji slowly wormed over to you and brought your hands down, a triumphant smile on her lips as she examined your slightly reddened face."I just find it so adorable that you blush. You're normally so scary and all, it's almost heartwarming." Hanji giggled, almost creepily, as you just stayed silent for a moment. You let out a tired sigh, before pushing her away from you, since she was invading your personal space."Does it really matter? Isn't blushing a normal thing?" You sharply retorted, hoping that she didn't catch onto the fact that you felt genuinely flustered. Why would that matter, if she was such a close friend, you may ask? Well, first off being that you despised showing any form of w
Bad Habits - Levi x Tomboy? Reader "Get your feet off the table {first}!"The [e/c] eyed girl looked at the short grey-eyed man in disdain. "No""Idiot I said put them down" Levi narrowed his eyes in annoyance.You yawned, "Nah I'm quite comfortable"A vague throbbing on his temple started to form. "Damn brat…"Why did he love you again? Oh right because you were the only girl who had enough gall to retort back to the Corporal.It was what drew him to you. You weren't like all the other girls who flinched at his mere presence; instead you blatantly ignored him and when he demanded your attention you would treat him as any another cadet.It wouldn't be a lie if at times he wished he could strangle you for being so frustratingly stubborn. But what really pushed him on edge were your bad habits.Don't get me wrong you were cute. So cute in fact that many boys were attracted to you even Captain Erwin Smith.Levi in tu

Blind!Eren X Reader) AU~A/N: Listen to both of these at the same time while you read if you want the full effect!~Fireplace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH79BmeeM0oMusic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbJI7Jqmgqg A soft crackling erupted from the fireplace, warmth fleeing from the burning wood. The flames danced, licking at the air around it while pleading for attention. You sighed, satisfied with your work. Finally, some time to relax in your home after those few long months of college. And while your roommate and most of your friends were out at parties or spending time with their families and loved ones, you were sitting alone in your house, about to snuggle up with a giant blanket and large romance novel.Living the life, right?You lazily flopped down onto the sofa, drawing your knees to your chest. Eyeing the book, you reached out, attempting to keep your comfortable position while grabbing it. Seeing that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon, you shifted enough to bring it clos
A Furry Friend - [AU] Levi x Reader"Aww, who's a cute little kitty? Aw you're so cute and fluffy, kitten!"You place a soft kiss onto the small cat's head before you continued to cuddle it on your chest and fell asleep.Around two weeks ago, you were walking back to your apartment after another gruelling night at work. But as you passed by an alleyway, you heard the faintest of meows coming from inside. As it had turned out, a homeless cat had given birth to her litter of three kittens, but unfortunately, the mother and two of the kittens had already been dead. Probably a while before you arrived. You assumed they starved or were too sick to carry on.Either way, you did what you could for the last remaining of the family, taking him into your apartment and feeding and caring for him the way you would've done for the whole family if they'd been alive. You just loved animals so much, and the idea that there are animals out there right now being abused and starved as some cruel tr
Wish - Fem!Levi x Male!Reader [CRACK] [PARODY] AU[FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION. XD]Once upon a time, in a magical land far, far, far, far, far, far, *author gets smacked* 6gy7v cbnfd away, there lived an unhappy young lady. Well, lady being a relative term. Sassy bitch was a far more accurate description. But, this sassy bitch's mother had unfortunately passed away, and her father married another, a horrid widow with two ghastly stepdaughters. The stepmother did not like her one little bit.Then again, the girl possessed a personality worse than two rabid wolves with chainsaws, so no one could actually blame the stepmother.As expected, the two rotten daughters were showered with material valuables of all sorts; dresses, shoes, delicacies, jewels, and beds softer than a cloud. The poor girl-er-lady-er...whatever, slept alone in a tight space, receiving little food, hand-me-downs from her sisters, no lovely dishes, clothes or trinkets of any sort.But, damn, did she know how to clean.Everything
Investigator!Levi x Ghoul!Reader |A New Light| AU"You disgust me." Those three seemingly simple but dreadful words were spat at you on a daily basis. Not that you appeared to care, but inwardly you cringed whenever a certain man in particular told you them. The man that not only stole your freedom, but the man that unknowingly captured your interest. Who was he?Levi Ackerman. Strongest Ghoul Investigator out there, known and respected by the public. At first glance he was a person most ghouls with a brain would detest and avoid, but you, grew curious. How a man with such an acid like tongue and short build grasped your attention, was something you still pondered on in your confinement. But as the saying "curiosity killed the cat," goes, your inquisitive ways were your demise when he finally caught your snooping and captured you without a second thought.Why he didn't kill you on the sight, was something else you couldn't manage to come to terms with. If you could kill a ghoul like yourself nowadays, you would take that chance if you
Daddy!Makoto x Pregnant!Reader- Worry"(Name)... Are you sure you're ok?"Makoto was worrying about you, as usual. You were 7 months pregnant, but being pregnant at all was what Makoto was worrying about. He didn't want anything to happen to the baby. He heard of way too many incidents of miscarriages. He couldn't let that happen to you.You were climbing the steps to your house. Makoto didn't think you could do anything by yourself anymore. He would do everything for you. You knew he was trying to be helpful but… He was getting kind of annoying.Not that you would ever tell him that of course."I'm fine Makoto, don't worry."You flashed him a small smile before walking up the last few steps. He followed you as you entered your house. You lied down on the sofa and watched TV. Makoto was sitting next to you, putting an arm around your waist. You knew that he absolutely ecstatic for the baby. He would take every chance he could to snuggle with you, or shower your stomach with affection. You
Lol Bill Nye DDR fanfic"Heya kids! I bet you didn't know that air is needed to make sound, right?"Bill Nye, the man of saturday morning science, started up the day by rattling off normally common knowledge. After all, it was his job, and he needed some money to feed his foster child. Unlike other people who were well known for their good deeds, he never had anyone thrust their newborns upon him, or shower him with money. He tells under-educatded kids about the world and it's amazements, and all he gets is an eleven-year-old left on his doorstep by some unresponsible mother. To make things worse, kids were starting to NOT CARE about science! Fathers used to give their kids chemistry sets and the like as presents, and they LIKED them! Now, his entire lifes meaning is going to fizzle out, all because of the rest of America devolving. However... there may be a chance to revive his show in a non "cheesy" way, as those punks would say."And you guys like sound, right? Y'all listenin' to ya iPods and EmPeeFree pla

Hanro Touch Feeling Spaghetti-Strap Camisole 2 2
sleek and comfortable This camisole is perfect in every way. The fit is snug enough to smooth, but not too tight. The fabric is smooth, so sweaters can still look natural, i.e. not look stuck to the under layer. And the neckline is perfect, straight, and so more elegant than a tank-style rounded look. Gorgeous! December 14, 2013
This item was not up to your usual standards. The fabric and fit is not as nice as the Hanro camisole I bought from you several years ago. The older item was made of very fine cotton that looked and felt great and the front had a very flattering shape to it. This new one did not. November 20, 2013

Guidelines for Internships at the Chapman Center for Rural Studies
Now Reviewing Applications for 2014-2015
Below please find the guidelines for the selection of Chapman Center interns.
Interns in the Chapman Center shall be selected based on the following criteria:
- A letter of interest by the applicant regarding the awarding of an internship.
- Successful completion of one or more courses in History 533, Kansas Communities or Public History, the History of Kansas or Kansas Geography.
- A written recommendation by the instructor in the course or courses above.
- Clear demonstration of research skills in more than one area of evidence gathering: (eg, oral history, primary document research, government records, photographic records, GIS or historic maps)
- Strong writing and critical thinking skills. (Submission of an original research paper/project on a Kansas topic.)
Privileges and Expectations
Internships in the Chapman Center are allocated $1500.00 per semester and are not based on financial need. Interns must enroll in a 3 credit research course in their department of origin (eg, History 650, Internship in History) and will be given access to the resources of the Center: general use of the research room, field equipment, photocopy machine, databases, etc. Their names will be listed in the Chapman Center online directory and inside the Center's physical director/display case. Under the direction of the Research Director, interns are expected to work a set number of hours per week on a thematic project leading to a larger goal (ie, publication of a book, database, website, museum installation) and keep a log of their activities each week that should be turned into the research director. Interns may also be called upon from time to time for the good of the Center, for example, making arrangements for outside speakers and guests, tours, presentations and being an exemplary representative of the Center's goals and standards for the University Community and the general non-academic public.
Internships are generally one semester in length, with an option for a second semester to be made at the discretion of the selection committee. (Director, Research Director and a faculty member currently serving on the Chapman Board of Directors).
No more than six internships per semester will be awarded. There will be no minimum number of internships awarded in each semester, but will vary according to the quality of the applicant pool each period.
Applications for internships will be accepted beginning November 1 for internships beginning the following spring semester and April 1 for internships beginning in the fall semester. Applications will be accepted until the official end of the semester. All applications are to be turned into the Director of the Chapman Center for Rural Studies in 111 Leasure Hall. Selection of interns will be made by the Director, the Research Director and a faculty member who is currently on the Chapman Center Board of Directors.
Fellows in the Chapman Center will be selected based on the following:
- A letter of interest from the applicant describing their interest in the Fellowship
- Completion of a successful internship in the Center
- Must be a junior or senior in good standing with a GPA in their major of at least 3.0
- A written proposal of the research they intend to do as a Fellow in the Center
- Strong leadership skills and a superior ability to work collaboratively
Privileges and Responsibilities
Fellowships are for a term of an entire academic year, beginning in the fall semester and comes with an award of $5000.00. Fellows are not required, but strongly encouraged to enroll in at least one hour of research in their department of origin. Fellows will be given a private carrel/study area in the research room of the Chapman Center and will have access to all the resources of the Center: materials, equipment, photocopying, databases. A small research stipend to cover the cost of transportation and research will be available to fellows upon request of the research director. They will be listed in the Chapman Center's online directory as well in the physical directory outside the center office in Leasure Hall.
Fellows will act, in part, as the research director's assistants in helping to guide the research activities of the interns and students enrolled in the Center's core courses. In addition, Fellows will be responsible for the maintenance and inventory of the Center's materials and equipment, helping with the check-in and check-out process, answering intern and students' questions and representing the Center at official functions of the Center both on and off-campus. Fellows will also help to create and maintain content on the Center's webpage and printed materials with editorial oversight from the Center Director. In addition, Fellows will complete a research project based on original, primary research over the course of their fellowship year. Projects must be approved by the selection committee in advance of the Fellowship and should be consistent with the thematic goals of the Center. Fellows will be required to give updates of their work to the entire membership of the Center (faculty, interns and the general university community) at least twice before the conclusion of their Fellowship. Fellows are strongly encouraged to publish the results of their work, either individually or collectively in peer reviewed formats, whether in print, online or both formats simultaneously.
No more than four Fellowships per year will be awarded in any academic year. There will be no minimum of Fellowships awarded each year, but will vary according to funding and the strength of the applicant pool in each period. Applications for year long Fellowships beginning in the fall semester will be accepted beginning on April 1 of the previous semester and will close at the conclusion of the spring semester. Selection of fellows will be made by the Director, Research Director and two faculty members currently serving on the board of the Chapman Center.

The city of Blaine and Birch Bay Water & Sewer District would like to remind their customers that the Water Wisely Watering Schedule is officially over as of September 15. Your conservation efforts helped us to reliably serve you during the challenging summer months while keeping enough water in storage to provide for firefighting and other contingencies. Thanks for helping us conserve!

I have just received your September 11-17 issue. The first letter on your opinion page by Jo Slivinski is a cut and pasted e-rumor. I get many junk e-mails forwarded to me so I always check them out on web sites like truthorfiction.com. I do this specially now in a time when finding the truth in a climate of exaggeration and downright lying is so common. Being a newspaper I would think you would be above posting exaggerated e-rumors like this one, that I surprisingly enough, read online just before I went to the mailbox and got your paper! Please check this link: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/p/our-little-sarah.htm.

The Blaine Library and the Whatcom County Library System as a whole, are facing significant budget challenges due to substantial increases in usage, without similar increases in revenue. Today the Blaine Library checks out 50 percent more materials than it did five years ago, while operating under 1 percent annual budget increases due to I-747.
Recently the library invited a group of community representatives to help determine those services that were deemed most critical to be continued during these lean times. One of the resulting realizations was that as the economy worsens, more people are led to use their local library. It was also apparent that a number of valuable library resources are still to be discovered, resources that could be of great benefit to many local residents.
Thank you to Ron Spanjer, Randy Elsbree, Carroll Solomon, Carol Choulochas, KayDee Powell and Lynne Chapman, who took time to share their thoughts and perspectives, especially as they related to their local areas of influence.
Please watch for future opportunities to express your own ideas and opinions about library materials and services, and the important role the library plays in the well being of your community.

Palin is not for women. As a woman I am appalled to see that there are some of my kind (women) blindly flocking to the McCain/Palin ticket just because she is a woman. She is not pro-choice and in fact doesn't even support abortion in the case of rape and incest. She wants more funding for abstinence only programs. That didn't work too well for her, why does she think more funding will do anything other than continue a policy of "just say no" that does not teach responsibility? She tried to get books banned in her local library. She does not believe in evolution and would like creationism taught side by side with biology. Creationism is not science. Her husband belongs to a secessionist group and would like to see Alaska secede from the U.S.A. Ms. Palin has not denounced that idea. How can that be viewed as patriotic, I ask? She doesn't believe in global warming. She doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is. That is the acceptance of preemptive war by the U.S.A. towards any country we deem to be a threat to us. Many citizens don't know what that means, but she could be a heartbeat away from the presidency and should know that. That policy hasn't worked in Iraq and will only make us less safe if continued by McCain/Palin. Palin now says she doesn't believe in earmarks yet she advocated for, and used lobbyists to get millions of dollars for her state. She is not Hillary, not an advocate for women and will not further any of our causes. Please, don't vote for McCain just because of Ms. Palin. We can't afford four more years of the same. We really can't. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. Not by watching mainstream media on the TV, but look on line and find out for yourself. Please pay attention.

The Editor:
Regarding last week's letter to the editor, in which a local woman took umbrage over the selection of Sarah Palin as the vice presidential nominee of the Republican party, I would suggest that it was a shrill and desperate attempt to keep undecided voters from leaning left into the Barack Hussein Obama camp. As a mayor and a governor, Palin has performed beyond expectations, with an approval rating of 80 percent among her constituents, who appreciate her conservative approach to governance. The writer should be directing her ire toward a fellow "community organizer," a socialist who has no executive experience and who has spent the lion's share of his tenure in the Senate campaigning for President.

I had just graduated the homeschooling class presented by Julie Sessions at Whatcom Community College. I decided that I would stop at one of our local second hand stores to look for some supplies.
The cashier had asked me if I wanted a box for all my purchases. I told her that I would appreciate that. She then called over the intercom and a stock man arrived with the boxes. As she was ringing up my purchases, a line was forming behind me and also at the cash register next to us. People started to chat amongst themselves and with the ones in the other line, "pondering" about my purchases.
Since they were not addressing me directly, I did not answer.
I proceeded to write a check for my purchases, and the cashier said to the stock man "I need management approval on this." So she called over the loud speaker and the manager appeared.
The manager said to the stock man, with a smile on his face and with much enthusiasm, "Books! Great!"
The stock boy pointed at me, said "they are for her," and shrugged his shoulder.
By this time, all the people in line and the cashiers were intently listening.
The manager turned to me and said "Hey, wow, that is great!"
I answered "they are homeschooling materials." He replied "That's great! I was homeschooled too!"
The stock boy then said "Well, that just explains it!" (that comment, was not meant as a compliment by the way) and he started to laugh along with pretty much all the others listening.
At that point, I proudly stated, (while facing as many involved as possible):
"Yes it does, that is why he is the manager."
Everyone stopped laughing and turned a funny shade of red.
Moral of the story: Don't try "sticking it to the homeschooler" as you may just be "sticking it to the big guy/your boss."

The Editor:
A previous letter to the editor attacked one vice presidential candidate for advocating abstinence sex education. The writer blamed the candidate's belief in teaching abstinence as the cause of the candidate's teenage daughter's pregnancy.
If the young lady listened to her parents, it would not have happened. Abstinence is 100 percent effective in preventing unplanned pregnancies.
After four decades of non-abstinence secular sex education, our young men and women continue to be tragic victims of this new morality. Nowhere has secular morality, making wrong appear right, taken such a heart wrenching toll than on America's youth. They pay a burdensome price. The centers for disease control and prevention statistics show, in America's major cities, approximately one out of four teenage girls has at least one sexually transmitted disease - some more than one. And the epidemic is spreading to our rural areas. Teenagers' futures ruined, babies born to infected mothers suffer mental and physical afflictions. For some - mother and/or child - the results are fatal.
Historically, a teenage father and pregnant teenage girl are nothing new. Today it is more than that. Teaching secular ethics instead of Judeo-Christian values has resulted in increased teen suicides, drug abuse, venereal disease, as well as pregnancies.
Venereal diseases under control in the 1950s are now rampant. Incurable and deadly new sexually transmitted viruses are epidemic. More than 20 sexually transmitted diseases are widespread.
To prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, abstinence is as close to 100 percent effective as you can get. Judeo-Christian tangible values, including abstinence, are founded on the idea of self-discipline and delaying gratification until the right time. These are values our nation's secularists have replaced with a moral carte blanche.
It is not good. Is it too late? No, but real change is needed. It will take a complete turn about of our nation's direction. Teenager or senior citizen, in public and private life, America needs to re embrace Judeo-Christian values of self-discipline and personal responsibility.

It was very disappointing to open on September 11 and find such a blatantly political letter as the opening letter. I hope that everyone who writes about the election over the next couple of months will decide not to engage in slander, gossip, and personal attack.

The Editor:
Today, I stopped on Yew Street as a photographer was taking a picture of an eagle nest just south of Pipeline Road.
My husband and I frequently pass this nest, always delighted to see them perched on the limbs.
One day two months ago, they were gone, no droppings on the road, no trace of them.
For three years this has been a highlight after shopping and we keep hoping they will return.
Eagle experts, please shed a light as to where the eagles have gone. I heard they mated for life and I watched the parents teaching their young to fly by Loomis Trail Golf Course.
It was beautiful!
The gentleman who took the pictures of the nest was somewhat involved with the airport. We sincerely hope no one has tampered with this eagle nest or harmed these beautiful birds.
Your comments please.

Top Chef Star Fabio Viviani Gets Sexy with Quaker Oats
Written on February 15, 2013 at 5:25 pm , by Samantha Shelton
A bowl of oatmeal for breakfast is…sexy? When Fabio Viviani is serving it, we like to think so. Which is why he's the star of Quaker's new video in support of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement. And on the day of love (Valentine's Day, in case you missed it), we had to get a piece of this Italian's mind. Here's his take on breakfast, and what you should be doing to spice up your love life.
Tell me about this steamy video! What made you want to get involved?
It's a good cause. If you've followed me in the last few years, then you know I'm all about good food and what's good for you. As a chef, it has to be tasty. And well, let's be honest, sometimes something that's good for you is not necessarily delicious. But oatmeal is! So when I was approached by the Go Red for Women movement with Quaker Oats, it was perfect – we're talking about food, breakfast and ladies – it was a good fit.
Whose idea was it to make it a funny, sexy video?
The good news is that it's easy for me to make things steamy because I have an accent! But if I'm going to do a video, it's got to be funny – food is fun!
Are you a breakfast lover yourself?
When I came to the United States, I learned to love it. Back in Italy, I didn't really have it a lot. Now I like oatmeal and I like to make things different. Breakfast is something that can really change a lot about your day. We always talk about making the right choices, and something as easy and small as breakfast being done in the right way is huge.
Other than as a standard bowl for breakfast, how do you use Quaker oats?
It's a staple for breakfast, absolutely. But I also use oatmeal powder as a thickening agent instead of using gelatin and other chemical-filled things when I work in the kitchen. I make an oatmeal gelato that is delicious.
Healthy eating is clearly a big part of strong heart health. What strategies do you like to follow?
You're talking to an Italian guy, so you're never going to hear me say drop carbs or meat! A balanced diet is the one that makes you happy while keeping you healthy. Being miserable is not healthy; it's stressful. So I try to balance my diet with a lot of vegetables and good protein, but it's OK to have steak once a week or so. Fish, in general, is good too. Maybe avoid tilapia because it's really fatty, but others are great. And risotto – I love risotto! I'll eat it any day of the week. I mean that, sometimes I've done it. And I'll cook it in red wine instead of broth.
Do you have a favorite food?
My favorite food is a homemade pasta made with good flour, without using a lot of sauce. A little goes a long way. I'll whip up some veggies to go with it, but I won't eat them raw – I'm not a goat.
So Valentine's Day just passed…what tips do you have for a perfect date night?
For a perfect date on Valentine's Day, if you're a man, then you have no choice, buddy. All you can do is whatever she likes, and for one day, just be genuinely happy about it. I know sometimes it's hard because you're a man and you just don't get it. But that day is about her, so just do it.
If you're a lady, it's your chance to ask for what you want! Red wine risotto, a hand massage, a whole night of sex, two bottles of wine – whatever you like! It's your day to celebrate with a loved one. It's a day of recharging the relationship.
Food can be very romantic on any day of the year. What do you think are the best romance foods?
Try these meals throughout the day:
- Breakfast: make a standard bowl of oatmeal, add a touch of brown sugar and fold in 1 tablespoon of corn starch. Then put the oatmeal on a griddle, let it crisp, and add a tablespoon of cherry jam – not the cheap jam that's 100% sugar, though. Get a whole cherry jam, the really good stuff. Put that on top. Oh, it's so good.
- Lunch: Get a nice salad, something with a good protein. Avoid chicken and pork if it's a romantic day – get fancy! Think about lamb. That's a great one and something you don't typically have. So get a green salad with lamb and maybe use a lemon yogurt sauce. That's very sexy, it's romantic, it's perfect.
- Dinner: Red wine risotto. I'm telling you, it's a home run! Make the risotto like you normally would, but use red wine instead of broth.
- Dessert: I would say get either ricotta fritters with Nutella or tiramisu. God bless tiramisu. We're eating oatmeal every day here, dessert is the time to treat yourself!

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -- The Senior Resource Association is hosting a Color Me Rad 5K event on March 16.
"We are very excited to be hosting a 'Color Me Rad' event here in Vero Beach to benefit local seniors," said Karen Diegl, SRA president and CEO. "This is going to be the largest 5K hosted in Indian River County and we are happy to be a part of it."
The colorful, fun and untimed race already has 2,000 participants registered as of Feb. 4. Runners and walkers of all ages will be blasted with color as they make their way through the picturesque community of Pointe West in Vero Beach.
"With recreation a part of the design, the Pointe West community is the perfect venue for this type of event. We are thrilled to participate and to partner with the Senior Resource Association for the first time," said Karen Mechling, director of marketing and events for Pointe West.
"Like your fifth birthday party, we want this event to be memorable, fun and colorful," said Scott Crandall, race organizer. "We love to get people involved in fitness who may not come out to your typical 5K."
Waves of 1,000 people will take off every five minutes beginning at 10 a.m. Participants of all ages are welcome to run or walk.
At the end of the race, runners/walkers will throw their own bags of color in the air to declare themselves "rad."
All color is FDA-approved cornstarch and about 5,000 pounds of it will be used for the race.
To give a percentage of your registration to SRA and receive a 10 percent discount on the race, use the promo code: SRA2013.
"We have worked with great charities across the country, and there is nothing more rad than knowing all of this mayhem is also for a good cause," said Crandall.
Each participant will receive a "swag bag" including a black Color Me Rad T-shirt, sunglasses, a CMR temporary tattoo and other local sponsor/promotional items.
Sports Authority is the premier packet pickup location. Packet pickup will take place on the Thursday and Friday prior to race day. Other current race sponsors include Amerigas, Indian River Medical Center/Indian River Medical Associates, Treasure Coast Scripps News and Natalie's Orange Juice. Other sponsorship opportunities are still available.
Following the CMR event, Pointe West and the Indian River County Recreation Department will host their season finale of 'Screen on the Green.'
This family friendly event features the movie "HOP" shown at sunset in Heritage Park on a 25-foot inflatable video screen. Bring blankets and chairs to enjoy this unique outdoor experience under the stars. Pack a picnic or visit the concession area. Admission is free and alcohol is prohibited. "Screen on the Green" is sponsored in part by D.R. Horton, Sebastian River Medical Center, Indian River Mall and OnSite Realty Group.
For more information on this event, visit www.seniorresourceassociation.org or www.colormerad.com. For more information on 'Screen on the Green,' visit www.pointewestflorida.com or call (772) 794-9912.
Volunteers are still needed for this event and will receive a free Color Me Rad volunteer T-shirt, please call (772) 469-3147 for shifts or additional information.

The BlackBerry You've Been Waiting For
If you're looking for a reason to check out the new BlackBerry Q10, I have three good ones for you.
1. The 4 Row QWERTY Keyboard:The keyboard on the new Q10 is exactly what you expect on a BlackBerry smartphone. Easy to read keys with excellent spacing and that special feedback that you can only get from a real physical keyboard. The typing experience on the Q10 is fantastic. If you are currently using a touch screen smartphone, using the Q10 will take you back to the first phone you ever had with a real QWERTY keyboard. I also believe you can type faster and more accurately on a real keyboard because of the added dimension of feel you have when moving from key to key.

DROID RAZR M by Motorola: Razor-Thin & Packing A Powerful Punch
Did you carry an original Moto Razr? These brightly colored, razor-thin flip phones were all the rage in the early '00s. In fact, this family of fashionable cell phones is still considered the best selling clam-shell cellphone in the world to-date.
In 2012, Verizon Wireless resurrected the best parts of the Razr (super-thin design, fun colors) with the latest in Android and mobile technology to create the powerful DROID RAZR by MOTOROLA smartphone family.
Just because the sleek DROID RAZR M smartphone is thin, doesn't mean it's fragile. Both splash-resistant and scratch-resistant, the vivid 4.3-inch touchscreen is protected by... read more
Nokia Lumia 928: A bright light shining through the Windows Phone 8 pane
Stylistically, Nokia designed the Lumia 928 to be super sleek and ultra-thin with sharp corners and flat sides - a wise improvement to its cousin the Lumia 920, which was a bit clunky and thick. And clearly Nokia also heard those naysayers who complained that the 920 was too heavy, because the 928 is ultra-lightweight. Under the hood, the Lumia 928 is quite similar to the 920. Both run on Windows Phone 8 OS with a speedy 1.5GHz dual-core processor for seamless multitasking and fast performance. They also both have a 4.5-inch 720p HD screen. However while the 920 features an LCD display, the 928 opted for AMOLED technology, which should make colors more vibrant and vivid.
Just like the Nokia Lumia 920, the 928 also boasts an 8.7-megapixel camera with image stabilization... read more
The HTC One: The best smartphone on the market
The first thought that will come to your mind when you picked up the Glacial Silver or Stealth Black HTC One for the first time is that the all-aluminum design is sleek and stylish and the metal case has a quality feel about it. Once you are done drooling over the look of the phone and take a minute to power it on, you will instantly be impressed with the 1080p high-definition display showing the Android operating system layered with the visually engaging BlinkFeed. BlinkFeed collects news and current events about topics you are interested in and combines them with your social media networks like Facebook and Twitter... read more
Ultrapixel vs Megapixel: HTC One vs Samsung Galaxy S 4 Camera Schmackdown
Over the last few years, smartphone manufacturers like Samsung, LG, and Motorola have made improvements to the cameras in their latest smartphones by increasing the Megapixel count. HTC's latest smartphone, the HTC One, deviated from this trend. Instead, they introduced us to: "ultrapixel". The HTC One's camera allows 300% more light to enter the UltraPixel sensor that is 4x's larger than a Megapixel sensor. On paper, the larger sensor should give the HTC One a distinct advantage over the... read more
DROID RAZR MAXX HD: If Incredible Hulk and Energizer Bunny had a love child
I have been using DROID RAZR MAXX HD by Motorola since November 2012 and just love it. In the spirit of full disclosure I am a DROID fan – I have owned an original DROID, a DROID X and most recently a DROID Bionic. The RAZR MAXX HD is the best by far with its Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. Why? Battery Life, Look & Feel, and Widgets.
Battery Life - The RAZR MAXX packs a whopping 3,300ma battery into its slim elegant case. It is over double the capacity of an iPhone 5 battery. It is 20% bigger than the Droid Bionic's extra cost extended battery which required an extra thick back to be added to the phone and made it hard to fit in your pocket. You can run it... read more
Samsung Galaxy S III – So Easy, My Mother Can Use It
The Samsung Galaxy S III is an ingenious, highly advanced Android-powered smartphone that is equally intuitive as it is easy to navigate that even my mother can use it. This impressive device, which is available on Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and Metro PCS, has a huge screen. It's big enough to read her email without her bifocals! At the same time, the Samsung Galaxy S III is so slim it could fit easily in her pocket (though I know she will put it in her large "duffle bag-sized" purse where she could store a lifetime supply of anything). The 8-megapixel camera takes amazing pictures. She can easily use it on family vacations instead of her point & shoot camera. The Android OS is so intuitive, that she won't need any assistance with set up. Instead, she can immediately... read more
