The Charlotte Observer endorses Jane Campbell
North Carolina's largest newspaper has endorsed Victory Fund candidate Jane Campbell for North Carolina State House in District 98.
The Charlotte Observer wrote in their endorsement:
"We prefer Campbell, a Davidson graduate who is unaffiliated but backed by Democrats. She helped supervise multimillion-dollar military departments in the Navy, honing leadership and consensus-building skills. She would bring a much-needed new LGBT voice to the General Assembly."
Jane's opponent John Bradford helped draft, sponsored and voted for the disastrous HB2 and refuses to denounce Trump. His support for the discriminatory legislation inspired Jane to run.
If elected, Jane would be the only openly LGBT state representative in North Carolina.

Angie Craig ahead of Jason 'Mini Trump' Lewis in recent poll
The most recent polling in Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District race shows Victory-endorsed candidate Angie Craig ahead of opponent Jason "Mini-Trump" Lewis by five points. It's exciting news, with just 19 days until the election.
The KTSP-TV and SurveyUSA poll also shows Angie holds a five point lead over Lewis on the economy, which voters identified as the most important issue this election cycle. And she is leading among moderates and independents, further indication her message is resonating in the Republican-leaning district.
While Angie runs an issue-focused campaign, Lewis' scorched-earth approach has led several media outlets to dub him "Mini-Trump." He has called young women "non-thinking," saying they only care about abortion and gay marriage, suggested immigrants are destroying white culture, and implied that slavery might not only be legal, but would be just fine with him. We've compiled some of his most offensive comments here.
If elected, Angie would be the first openly LGBT member of Congress from Minnesota and only the third LGBT woman in Congressional history.

Progressive outlets endorse Tina Podlodowkski
Local editorial boards continue to be excited by Victory Fund candidate for Washington Secretary of State, Tina Podlodowski.
The Stranger wrote in their latest endorsement:
"The Secretary of State's primary job is to oversee elections, and Podlodowski, a former Seattle City Council member, says she would fight for postage-free ballots, same-day registration, and work to make sure the voices of people of color are heard through the electoral process."
Kim Wyman continues to struggle with an official complaint from the State Attorney General that her campaign violated state campaign-finance laws.
Seattlish summarized Kim Wyman as "a wet noodle at best and a conservative hammer at worst" and supported Tina to bring change to the office of Secretary of State.
Sun Sentinel endorses Ken Keechl for Florida House
The Sun Sentinel's editorial board announced its endorsement Ken Keechl for Florida House District 93.
The endorsement highlights his strong support for improving the county's largest medical service provider, Broward Health, and his support to address climate change and rising sea levels.
In their endorsement, the Sun Sentinel states, "It's going to take leadership to get the region prepared" and they agree Ken is best suited to represent District 93 in the Florida House.
Additionally, the editors emphasized Ken's stances on promoting public schools and enacting common sense gun legislation.
Ken's opponent, George Moraitis, refuses to denounce presidential candidate Donald Trump and has a "lack of backbone" and continues to put "politics over principle," according to the endorsement.
Currently Florida only has one openly LGBT legislator and Ken is one of five LGBT legislative candidates endorsed by Victory Fund.

Governor Brown earns key endorsements
Oregon Governor Kate Brown earned four strong editorial endorsements this week, highlighting her statehouse experience and positions on key issues – including women's rights and the environment. Brown's record of accomplishment is finally getting the attention and kudos it deserves. Meanwhile her opponent, Bud Pierce, continues his slide in the polls.
A few weeks ago during a televised debate, Pierce suggested that only poor and uneducated women could be victims of domestic violence because "a woman that has great education and great training and a great job is just not susceptible." The backlash to his controversial and ignorant comments has severely damaged his candidacy and the latest polling has him down 13 points.
In their endorsement, the Statesman Journal writes:
"Brown has shown that she can learn on the job: to focus her priorities instead of trying to do everything, and to recruit legislative champions to promote her ideas in the Legislature. Her personable nature is a tremendous asset. People — including her political opponents — like her, regardless of whether they agree with her."
Additional endorsements for Gov. Brown come from The Oregonian, Williamette Week and The Daily Astorian.
If elected, Kate Brown would be the first openly LGBT person elected governor.
Tommy Greene Ahead of Opponent by One Point
Victory-endorsed candidate Tommy Greene has seen a surge in support in the past two months, and is now one point ahead of his opponent David Greenspan, according to internal polls. The poll shows the Ohio state legislative candidate is capturing 43 percent of the vote, compared to his opponent's 42 percent, despite a barrage of television and mail attacks against Tommy in recent weeks.
The seven point gain since the August poll is a result of Tommy's massive outreach efforts to voters across the District. His message is clearly resonating – including his pledge to support equal pay for women, oppose education cuts and protect the local environment. And the new poll comes just days after Tommy was upgraded to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee's list of Essential Races – indicating the significance of his race to the Democratic Party's efforts to win back key legislative seats.
Tommy needs to get his message out to as many voters as possible in the next three weeks. Contribute to Tommy's campaign today, so we can secure another LGBT voice in the Ohio legislature come November.
Six Victory Fund candidates upgraded to DLCC Essential Races
Today, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee in coordination with Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund announced six Victory Fund-endorsed candidacies were upgraded to DLCC 2016 Essential Races. The joint endorsement highlights the critical importance of these six races in key legislative chamber battlegrounds and in furthering equality everywhere.
The six Victory Fund-endorsed candidates added to the DLCC 2106 Essential Races include: Jane Campbell, North Carolina House District 98; Tommy Greene, Ohio House District 16; Daniel Hernandez, Arizona House District 2; Stephen Skinner, West Virginia Senate District 16; Beth Tuura, Florida House District 47; and Jennifer Webb, Florida House District 69.

Denise Juneau's opponent booed after saying being a lesbian is a choice
Denise Juneau squared off against opponent Ryan Zinke in a debate full of hot topics – but the most memorable moment came as the crowd booed Zinke for saying being a lesbian is a choice.
Throughout the debate, Denise shined and Zinke sunk, especially when asked how the two would work to protect LGBT rights. Denise received applause after saying, "That's an awesome answer for me. No. 1, get elected." She then highlighted she would be the first Congresswoman from Montana since 1941, the first Native American woman ever in Congress, and the first LGBT person elected to Congress from Montana. Denise closed her statement saying "representation matters."
Zinke's response, on the other hand, received jeers from the crowd. While stating his support for freedom of religion, he said: "It's not my right to dictate how you think or what you do. And so I do support you (Juneau)… if you want to be lesbian, if you want to be Muslim, it doesn't matter. You have the right to be you." His response, implying Denise chose to be a lesbian, drew boos and groans from the audience.
We could not agree with Denise more. Representation does matter. And we need more voices like Denise's in Congress – in part to stop the kind of ignorance Zinke demonstrated last night.

Reminder: John Bradford voted to siphon $500K of disaster relief money to pay for HB2
As a storm approaches the Carolinas, Victory Fund, Equality NC and Planned Parenthood Votes! South Atlantic remind the residents of North Carolina House District 98 that Rep. John Bradford not only bragged about being an architect of the state's discriminatory House Bill 2, he also voted to siphon $500,000 from the state's disaster relief budget in order to defend it court.
By contrast, Victory Fund candidate Jane Campbell was inspired to run after learning of Bradford's role in writing, introducing and passing HB2. Read more about Jane at ThinkProgress.
Here's our full joint statement:
Charlotte, NC – State Rep. John Bradford voted for a bill to strip $500,000 from the state's Emergency Response and Disaster Relief Fund to cover legal fees from HB2 – the bill he championed – despite dire warnings from NC State researchers this hurricane season would be significantly more active. As North Carolina braces for tropical storm or hurricane conditions with potentially devastating consequences for eastern and central parts of the state, it is important to remember the devastating consequences of HB2 on the state's disaster relief budget.
John Bradford raided the state's emergency response and disaster relief budget to clean-up the manmade disaster he created by drafting, sponsoring and voting for HB2. His legislative incompetence is costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands in legal fees, damaging the state's reputation and economy, and under resourcing its disaster relief efforts as Hurricane Matthew barrels toward the shore. Bradford's short-sightedness led him to remove $500,000 from the fund that will assist residents and rebuild cities in a hurricane's aftermath. He was playing politics when he stripped the civil rights of North Carolinians by supporting HB2, and then stripped the disaster relief budget of precious resources to pay for his catastrophic mistake.
The Emergency Response and Disaster Relief Fund's $10 million budget was reduced by five percent as a result of the vote by Rep. John Bradford and his colleagues.

Victory Fund's Aisha Moodie-Mills disappointed LGBT issues not addressed during VP debate
After tonight's Vice Presidential Debate with Tim Kaine and Mike Pence, Victory Fund President & CEO Aisha C. Moodie-Mills released the following statement:
"Mike Pence has made a career of singling out LGBT people for discrimination, and it is disappointing tonight's debate did not address his long record of using public office to advance his backward views," said Victory Fund President & CEO Aisha C. Moodie-Mills. "Pence opposes recognition of our relationships, opposes LGBT soldiers serving openly in the military, and opposes prohibiting restaurants and other businesses from refusing service to LGBT customers. It is important the Trump campaign's extremist anti-LGBT positions be exposed in future debates – along with its attacks on women, immigrants, Latinos, Muslims, and veterans recovering from war. Their entire campaign has been built on fear and bigotry, and we believe voters will reject their attempts to turn back the clock on progress."

In today's text message, iPhone society, fans of ArtPrize turned to their computers on Thursday night to find out immediate results of the first-year international art contest.
The Press's Web site provided live coverage from reporters and editors on site in the Steelcase Ballroom at DeVos Place. And The Press also enlisted several local Twitter users to add their commentary.
WOOD-TV8 streamed a live feed on its Web site, and ArtPrize.org also provided live video on Ustream.tv.
But with all this technology, glitches are bound to happen. The ArtPrize feed did not begin at 7 p.m. because of some licensing issues, and online readers were not happy.
Later, after broadcasting most of the event live, the Ustream feed crashed briefly as the winners were being announced. At its peak, the Ustream feed tallied more than 1,800 viewers.
What's cooler than a Nessie?
The "Nessie Salute," perhaps.
Joachim Jensen of The Nessie Project team said he and the crew would proudly display the hand gesture in honor of their Grand River Loch Ness monster, which took sixth place, when their placement was announced Thursday.
"You better believe we're going to do it," Jensen said, laughing, just prior to the ceremony.
The salute involves a bent wrist and a cupped, pointed hand to mirror Nessie's head.
"It's been a rollercoaster ride the whole time," Jensen added. He made sure to at least eat something -- half of a sandwich -- before the announcement.
"Mostly it's going to be smiling and handshaking tonight. We already won all of us," Jensen said of the Top 10.
Michael Westra just happy to be in the Top 10
Michael Westra, creator of "Winddancer 2," stood quietly beside the frenzy surrounding first-place winner Ran Ortner after Thursday's big announcement.
Westra was smiling.
"Been quite a week. Loss for words. Being a part of the top 10 was just an amazing thing," he said.
Westra took 10th place.
"I was just hoping to be in the Top 100," he said.
Westra said the best part of ArtPrize was how the public voting brought out families out and had people talking about art that wouldn't normally. He also loved being able to stand back and watch people converse and interact with his piece.
"That was special, too," he said. "I'm just so proud of him," daughter Elizabeth Ernzer said of her "modest and giving" dad. "He totally deserved it."
'Pushpin Guy' already thinking about next year
Third-place finisher Eric Daigh, whose "Portraits" featured colored pushpins, fielded well wishes and congratulatory comments after the ceremony.
Now, Daigh said he has a year to think about what he will do for the next ArtPrize. "I can't do pushpins again. I definitely can't," he said, smiling.
But before anything else, Daigh said he needs to do one thing starting Friday.
"I need to get back to work. I need to get back in the studio."
Grand Rapids goes Bollywood
The first act to perform at Thursday night's ArtPrize program was blue13 dance company, a Los Angeles-based group which calls itself Bollywood-Tech Dance Theatre.
Founder Achinta McDaniel and her group of 14 dancers were in the hallway after their performance, looking forward to hanging with some dancers from the Grand Rapids Ballet Company.
It turns McDaniel is related to GRBC's Laura and Nicholas Schultz.
"I know, what a coincidence," McDaniel said.
Her thoughts about Grand Rapids?
"The crowd was so appreciative, and loud. It was great."
'Man in a Van' still in Grand Rapids
ArtPrize artist Aaron Heideman, of the "Man in a Van Project," needs something now that the competition is over: a storage unit.
Heideman said after Thursday's closing ceremony he needs to store his van until he can find a museum to display it.
Also, Heideman said he has $300 in his pocket to get from Grand Rapids to a friend's place in Boston and then back to Oregon. Heideman said he still believes ArtPrize needs to make some improvements.
"I think that there's a problem with the voting system. I don't think the Top 10 reflected public tastes."

The Elkhorn Slough Permit Coordination Program
The Elkhorn Slough Partners in Restoration (PIR) permit coordination program is the pilot permit coordination program that created our model public-private effort to support local farmers, ranchers, and landowners who want to improve water quality and wildlife habitat on and near their lands. It was in the Elkhorn Slough watershed that Sustainable Conservation first began conversations with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Resource Conservation District (RCD) of Monterey County, and regulators about how we could support private landowners in their voluntary conservation efforts. Elkhorn Slough PIR incorporates erosion control and riparian enhancement practices making it easier for the agricultural community to participate in implementing voluntary conservation projects. The project partners have crafted this program to enhance the Elkhorn Slough watershed's natural habitat and reduce erosion and sedimentation in both the upland areas and the coastal environment downstream.
The core of Elkhorn Slough PIR is the watershed-based agreements entered into by local, state and federal regulatory agencies and the NRCS and the RCD of Monterey County. These agreements create 'one-stop permit shopping' for farmers, ranchers, and landowners working with the NRCS and RCD of Monterey County on conservation projects. The watershed-based agreements covered ten different conservation practices and management measures in the Elkhorn Slough watershed. Under Elkhorn Slough PIR, a cooperator receiving technical and/or cost share assistance from the NRCS or the RCD of Monterey County is allowed to implement the associated conservation practices without seeking individual permits-provided they partner with the NRCS and RCD of Monterey County and carefully follow the terms of the program's agreements. The NRCS and RCD of Monterey County assist in project design and monitor implementation and maintenance of the conservation practices to ensure the projects comply with the program.
Regulatory Partners
Local, state and federal regulatory agencies and their staff have been great partners in this effort, providing important guidance and input. It is only with the support and advice of regulatory agency staff that we have been able to navigate the complex regulatory review process, and only with their active support that we were able to build our pilot PIR effort in the Elkhorn Slough and replicate the program in other important areas. Agencies signing on to this innovative 'one-stop permit shopping' include the California Department of Fish and Game, the California Coastal Commission, the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The Elkhorn Slough Watershed
The Elkhorn Slough Watershed is located in Monterey and San Benito counties on California's central coast. The watershed covers about 44,000 acres, including a mixture of habitat from tidal salt marsh to mixed oak woodlands to intensively farmed strawberry fields.
Elkhorn Slough is one of the last remaining coastal wetland marshes in California. It is home to an amazing variety of rare plants and animals, is an important stop for migrating birds on the Pacific Flyway, and functions as an important nursery area for marine fish.
The watershed includes the drainage area tributaries to Elkhorn and Moro Cojo Sloughs, including Carneros and Watsonville Creeks.
Problems Facing the Elkhorn Slough Watershed
Soils in the Elkhorn Slough watershed are deep, rich and sandy. The mild climate is favorable for strawberry production, as well as other crops such as broccoli and cauliflower. This rich land creates three to four crop cycles a year and the farmers are often tenants with year to year leases.
Unfortunately, the intense agricultural production has created a variety of problems for the area's natural resources. Rainfall and irrigation produce runoff that carries soils and associated pesticides and pollutants into the watercourses and into the ocean. Clearing stream banks of vegetation has reduced and degraded habitat for avian and aquatic species. Erosion has filled the streams and reduced their natural functioning. The degradation of habitat and water quality has contributed to the steep decline in Steelhead populations, and reduced the diversity of species and natural productivity in the area. Unabated, this continuing loss of natural functioning contributes to the overall decline of California's native plant and animal species and lowers the quality of life for our communities as well.
Working Together to Create Solutions
Erosion and natural resource degradation in the watershed must be controlled at the source. A watershed approach to resource management focuses attention on the cumulative effect of upland and upstream uses on the creeks, streams and rivers that eventually flow to the ocean. This means working with public and private groups, communities, and individuals to improve management practices in the watershed. Many landowners, government, and environmental groups are interested in promoting sustainable resource management practices in the Elkhorn Slough watershed. They came together to improve and protect the area's natural and agricultural resources through a variety of strategies. One of the primary strategies employed by PIR is to take advantage of information and technical assistance available through the U.S.D.A. to improve the management practices of agricultural operations.
Participating in the Permit Coordination Program
To participate in the Elkhorn Slough PIR permit coordination program, you must contact the local NRCS office or RCD of Monterey County to see if your project can be covered by the program. Partnering with the NRCS/RCD of Monterey County will ensure your project meets the regulatory agency conditions and will be covered under the watershed-based agreements. These organizations may also be able to assist you with project design, technical assistance and information on cost-sharing programs. You cannot participate in the Elkhorn Slough PIR without the assistance of the NRCS or RCD of Monterey County.

Charlie Sheen continued his 20-city road show, "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is not an Option," with a stop at New York's Radio City Music Hall Friday April 8.
This Associated Press video includes clips from the show as well as reactions from those in the crowd.
Sheen will appear at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, Conn. tonight
Meanwhile, a Hispanic group isn't amused by a California minor league baseball team's Charlie Sheen spin on a Cinco de Mayo event, which includes "tiger-blood" cocktails.
The Lake Elsinore Storm's "Charlie Sheen-co de Mayo" night will also feature a taco-eating contest, Sheen-co de Mayo bobble heads and "Wild Thing" eyeglasses, based on his character in the 1989 movie "Major League.
The club's website features a brown-skinned caricature of Sheen and says it has invited the actor to "a different kind of rehab."
The promotion upset the Inland Empire Council of the League of United Latin American Citizens. Its president, Joe Olague, tells the Riverside Press-Enterprise it diminishes a significant day in Hispanic history.
Storm president David Oster says the intent isn't to hurt anyone but provide people with a good laugh.

The Chieftains, "Voice of Ages" (Concord/Hear). 4 stars.
Celebrating their 50th year together, The Chieftains_decided to invite a mostly new group of friends to fire up some Celtic magic.
Those collaborators include Bon Iver, The Decemberists, The Low Anthem, The Civil Wars, Pistol Annies, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Punch Brothers as well as some Irish and Scottish players in Imelda May, Lisa Hannigan and Paolo Nutini.
In other words never accuse this cast of characters of getting old.
Despite the diverse cast, the set flows together well.
Founding member, uilleann pipes and tin whistle player Paddy Moloney, along with his long time mates Matt Molloy (flute) Kevin Conneff (bodhran) and Sean Kane (fiddle) are even re-united here with original members Michael Tubridy and Sean Potts on the appropriately-titled more than 11 minute track, "The Chieftains Reunion."
"Voice of Ages" is a colorful mix between traditional Celtic fare and more contemporary work, like the rousing "Pretty Little Girl" (Carolina Chocolate Drops).
Starting with the red-hot opener May's collaboration "Carolina Rua," they are initially matched with the Civil Wars (Joy Williams, John Paul)
Shortly thereafter come three standouts: "Peggy Gordon" with its angelic female harmonies; a new version of Bob Dylan teamed with the Decemberists on the bard's classic "When the Ship Comes in;" and a sparkling taste of the past in "Hard Times Again" with Nutini.
The Chieftains couldn't take this far a musical journey without traveling extremely far. In this case really far would be space. Yup, their friend and admirer NASA Astronaut Cady Coleman helped deliver "The Chieftains in Orbit" on her flute from the International Space Station.
It's been fun to hear the Chieftains with superstars like Mick Jagger, Elvis Costello and Van Morrison in the past, but there's something even more magical and pure about hearing them with this fascinating combination of fresh faces.
Songs to download: "When the Ship Comes In," "Hard Times Again."
Rating Scale: One Star (poor) to Five Stars (a classic).

City to adjust its compost fees
City officials in Langley have looked closely at the compost they sell to residents.
The verdict? Gardeners should get ready for a rate increase.
The first reading of a resolution to change the fees will be at the next city council meeting, 6:30 p.m. Monday,
July 20, at city hall on Second Street.
Proposed changes in the city's municipal code for compost include the backhoe fee for small quantities from $5 per load to $10 per yard. The backhoe fee for loads of more than five yards would go from $20 per load to $40 for each five- yard load.
The compost is free for people who want to shovel the stuff without help.
The material is available to all county residents at a site near the city's wastewater-treatment plant on Coles Road. Finished compost will be available July 27, city officials said.
Also at the next council meeting, officials of the state Department of Ecology will present an award to the city's wastewater treatment plant, which received another perfect score from the agency for 2008. It is the fifth year Langley has received recognition.
A council study session will be held at 4 p.m., and will include an update on the port's plans for the marina.

Storyteller takes stories to Tennessee
Jill Johnson, local storyteller and performer, traveled to Knoxville, Tenn. recently to perform at the "Haunting in the Hills" Storytelling Festival at the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
"Haunting in the Hills," now in its 21st year, is one of the largest free outdoor storytelling festivals in the U.S., with audiences of 2,000 to 3,000 people.
In addition to the festival performances, Johnson and four other featured tellers traveled all over eastern Tennessee and Kentucky to tell stories to students. In three days, the five tellers gave 62 performances and presented to more than 1,200 students from pre-kindergarteners to high school seniors.
"We were exhausted, but it was a wonderful experience," Johnson said.
After the festival, Johnson returned to Jonesborough, Tenn., her former home and site of the National Storytelling Festival. She performed an excerpt of her one-woman show, "Rebecca: the story of Rebecca Ebey" at the International Storytelling Center as a guest (and former member) of the Jonesborough Storytelling Guild.
Johnson won the Huebner Grant from the National Storytelling Network two years ago for research on her Rebecca story. The grant, funded by the Jonesborough Storytelling Guild, was named for Carole Ann Huebner, a Guild teller and Johnson's close friend.
"I wanted to bring my story of Rebecca Ebey home," said Johnson.

Ridged Fingernails
Ridged fingernails can commonly appear on both men and women. They often indicate a health risk or are just plain annoying to look at.
Nail ridges can spread from the cuticle towards the tip of your fingernails or they could run across your nails in a horizontal manner. If you notice that you have ridges like these running across your nails, then it would be better if you see a doctor especially when these ridges are deeply grooved and slightly darkened.
Horizontal Ridges
Horizontal ridges could also suggest Beau's lines, which happens only, if you are suffering from malnutrition, iron or zinc insufficiency or an injury resulting to damaged nail growth. There are also some medications that can trigger the appearance of these types of ridges on fingernails, especially if you have a serious illness or undergoing chemotherapy.
However, if you have discovered these ridges on your nails for the first time and have no other fingernail problems; we can easily fix this problem.
Vertical Ridges
Vertical ridges can be commonly seen on older people as it is an indicator of ageing. As you age, your fingernails and cuticles tend to dry out quickly. So, as a rule, you must massage your nails with oil daily to keep it moisturized.
Before going to bed, always be sure to use a hand and nail cream. Use a product that is not full of chemicals that can do more harm to your nails. Massage the nail cream on your hands and fingernails, wear cotton gloves and then go to sleep.
When you do this routine for a few months, you will absolutely see an improvement in your ridged fingernails. You will start seeing new fingernail growths minus the ridges. Don't stop doing the routine even after you see an improvement. Keep moisturizing your nails daily.
One of the causes of ridges in fingernails may be dehydration, meaning, your nails are lacking in moisture and may be deprived of vitamins and minerals that it needs. Your body might not be taking in the nutrients it needs.
Tips to lessen the appearance of nail ridges:
• To lessen the appearance of ridges on your nails, use a nail buffer to buff lightly in the vertical ridge's direction. But, be careful not to overdo the buffing as this might cause thin fingernails.
• When wearing nail polish, apply a ridge filler first. A single coat of ridge filler will suffice, allow to dry and then put on nail polish.
• Don't forget to take multivitamins and zinc supplements every day.
• When doing housework such as washing dishes, working in the garden and other stuff, wear gloves! This will protect your hands and fingernails.
• Avoid using "nail hardeners". To strengthen your nails, soak them in warm olive oil for 20 minutes every day.
• Keep yourself hydrated by drinking water every day.
Doing the tips I've mentioned above might not totally erase your fingernail ridges, but lessen their appearance. But, with continuous fingernail care, you will have nails that are not only healthy, but beautiful, as well.

LeBron James' return to the Cleveland Cavaliers will bring an economic boost and a sense of pride to this state, and especially to northeast Ohio. The prodigal son is coming home.
All of the hand-wringing and the will-he-or-won't-he drama was quieted last week by Mr. James, who represented the National Basketball Association — and his family — with a grace that was in stark contrast to his departure four years ago, when he revealed his plans to join the Miami Heat on a garish TV special.
Click here to read more Blade editorials.
On the court, Mr. James has matured since he was last Ohio's basketball king, but in announcing his return to his hometown, he also showed an elevated level of eloquence and sophistication. Instead of making a pretentious televised appearance, he shared his story with one outlet, Sports Illustrated magazine's Web site, and explained his actions in a way he never had before
"I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl," Mr. James told SI.com. "I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn't going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy."
Mr. James grew up in Akron. Based on calculations by Cuyahoga County's fiscal office, his return will mean $500 million a year in additional Cavaliers ticket sales and other spending in Cleveland and northeast Ohio.
It's not just about the money, though. His return gives everybody a shot at redemption, because his departure from Cleveland brought out the worst in everyone. His ill-conceived "Decision" came across as arrogant. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert's letter in response to his exit was petty and embarrassing. And some Cleveland fans showed a lack of class by burning his jersey.
Mr. James had a right to explore and choose where he wanted to play, just as he has a right to return to Cleveland. He said that his relationship with northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball, but he didn't realize that four years ago. Such an acknowledgment indicates he is ready to be both a team leader and a community ambassador.
Let's take Mr. James at his word. Sports teams and high-profile players have long inspired civic pride in cities across the nation and world. His return to Cleveland should have an impact that reaches far beyond basketball.
Mr. James said he has unfinished business with the Cavaliers, but tempered expectations by saying he would like to bring at least one NBA championship trophy home. Whether he can end the long-suffering city's sports drought remains to be seen, but his energized recommitment to his hometown is significant. As it turns out, you can go home again.

Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Rock
Water broken voice, saturates a microphone
Into a receiver with no tongue
Offering, little to what it knows
Then a silence so heavy, broken hearts fall from throats
When heaven is remembered but never seen
Through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes
Eternally, the sun has set to mourning
And contoured are the backgrounds
On the canvas to which our lives are painted

I got the following e-mail from a reader by the name of Jeff Scott:
I saw your article about the transportation trust fund and if my math is correct a 2.5 cent increase in the gas tax would cost the owner of a car that gets 20 mpg and goes 10,000 miles per year an additional $12.50 per year. If only 10 mpg that's $25 more per year. ( approximately $2 per month) For 20,000 miles per year double those numbers. Seems like a small price to pay to keep the transportation trust fund solvent. (you report that a 2.5 cent increase will generate $125 million). Why don't we ever speak about the issue in these terms?
Jeff's onto something there. I hadn't thought of it in those terms, but a 2.5 cent tax per gallon on 500 gallons of gas doesn't cost a heck of a lot, a mere $12.50.
Compare that to the toll hike scheduled to go into effect next year if Gov. Christie gets his way. The object is to generate $125 million annually to go into the Transportation Trust Fund, which funds highway work all over the state.
The proposed 50 percent toll hike would actually generate more than just that $125 million. But for the sake of argument, let us compare the two just to get a general idea of the effect on the driver.
Right now, there are stretches of the Turnpike in
That $12.50 sure won't take you far on the Turnpike. It would buy you only 125 miles of driving on the northernmost parts of the Turnpike where the tolls are highest.
That's perhaps five days' driving paid for by the toll hike vs. a year's driving paid for by the gas tax.
The toll cost would be lower on the Parkway and on the southern end of the Turnpike. But you're still talking about a few weeks worth of driving if the road user fee is collected at the toll booth versus a full year's driving if the road-user fee is collected at the pump.
And by the way, "road-user fee" is a far better term than "tax." Some politicians - not the smart ones - say we should never raise the road-user fee at the pump because this is a tax increase.
Nonsense. If this is such an evil tax, I like to ask them, then why not get rid of it altogether?
You would then have to pay for your roads in increased income taxes or property taxes, that's why.
And that would be stupid.
But it would still be better than tolls. Nothing is dumber than setting up a complex system and hiring hundreds of workers to do a job that can be accomplished more efficiently without those workers and that system.
We have to pay for roads one way or the other. And you can buy a lot more pavement when you pay at the pump.

BiographyI am a Japanese girl currently about to go to high school. I am 5'2'' and I have long black hair and big black eyes! ^__^ Born in Japan, moved here when I was 2. That's basically my background and stats.
InterestsI like to fish, unlike most of my friends, and sometimes taking a hike with a couple of my girlfriends. I live in a rather nice place, not too dry for my skin, or too cold (I can't handle the cold). I like being clean most of the time, so I do not take part in most of those dirty sports. >.< The computer is mostly for chatting with my friends, so that's what I do.

Dear N.F.: There are many different kinds of hydrangeas. Most of them are garden shrubs and vines. Hydrangeas have attractive, pest-resistant leaves, and some species have good fall color. The fruit is not decorative, but the dried flowers are, so in many cases it's worthwhile to cut the flowers before they fade and dry them for arrangements.
Hydrangeas confuse gardeners for several reasons. One species of hydrangea, bigleaf hydrangea, H. macrophylla, has flowers that can be pink or blue depending on the soil acidity. The plants don't need acid soil to grow; they will grow at any normal soil pH. However, for blue flowers, the soil must be acid.
The second perplexing issue has to do with hardiness. Bigleaf hydrangea is root, leaf and stem hardy in most of our area, but not necessarily bud hardy. Because the flower buds are made in the summer for the next year's bloom, the buds have to make it through the winter. If the buds are damaged by cold and wind, there will be no flowers. Other species, such as smooth hydrangea, H. arborescens, which is native here, bloom on new wood of the season and are unaffected by winter.
Hydrangeas bloom once a year. The normal flowering time is in midsummer, but some of the newer varieties have extended bloom time. Some beautiful hydrangeas are forced in greenhouses and sold as gift plants. These tend to be unsuited to life in the garden, but why not try? Tim Bloebel, a Rochester-area horticulturist, has published a book about pruning and protecting borderline-hardy hydrangeas so they bloom and grow reliably in colder climates. "Hydrangeas in the North" can be ordered from hydrangeasinthenorth.com for $24.95.
Many gardeners have been concerned by the unusually mild winter so far. There's no reason to worry, first because there's nothing to be done about it, and second because although this winter has been odd for Central New York, it has been perfectly normal weather for someplace like Maryland, where plants do fine.
I anticipate quite a good year for hydrangeas, unless of course we have below zero temperatures from now until June. I'm not concerned about spring blooming flower bulbs, either. The winter in the Netherlands, where the commercial growers are, is much milder than here.
There are a few plants that have chilling requirements that might not be met this winter. Apple and other fruit trees might flower less abundantly than usual. But they make way too many flowers in a normal year so the crop won't necessarily be affected. It is important to delay pruning the trees until you have a sense of how many flowers there will be.

Is it normal to go through the peeling process twice after dual fraxel?
I had dual fraxel 2 weeks ago. My face did go through the normal healing process, it was red, swollen, turned bronze and then peeled. Afterwards the new skin was beautiful and slightly pink. Now it has gotten extremely dry again. Do you sometimes peel twice after fraxel dual. I have constantly applied aquaphor after the procedure and I am now applying organic coconut oil. I cannot seem to relieve the dry skin

To produce structures that are functional as well as models of architectural beauty, designers must apply principles of mathematics in their work. Scale drawings, commonly known as plans are used as patterns in the construction of buildings. Proper ratios and proportions relate each feature of a building with every other one and with the whole structure to obtain a pleasing appearance.
In this unit of study we will try to improve the students' understanding and appreciation of basic mathematical principles used in architecture. The unit will discuss in detail the concepts of measurement, scale drawing, ratio, proportion, and symmetry.
There are several basic objectives for this unit of study. Upon completion of the unit, the student will be able to:
— use a ruler easily and accurately to determine measurements.
— construct and interpret scale drawings.
— understand the principles of ratio, proportion, and symmetry.
— apply these principles in the solution of problems.
The material developed here may be used at the following levels of instruction: (1) in seventh or eighth grade arithmetic classes; (2) in high school algebra or geometry classes; (3) in high school applied mathematics classes; (4) in adult basic education classes.
Rulers are divided into inches and fractions of inches. On the ruler shown below every inch is divided into sixteen equal sections, each of which is one sixteenth of an inch long.
(figure available in print form)
We read the designated measurements as follows:
|A= 4/16 or 1/4 inch
|D = 2 inches
|B= 9/16 inch
|E = 2 11/16 inches
|C=1 5/16 inches
|F = 3 12/16 or 3 3/4 inches
(figure available in print form)
- 1. Draw line segments having the following measurements: a) 2 7/9 " b) 15/16 " c) 1 3/4 " d) 5 1/2 ".
- 2. Give the ruler reading for each of the lettered dimensions.
Scale drawings which represent the parts of a building must be in exact proportion to the actual structure. Various scales may be used for this purpose. For example, 1/8 inch may be used to represent one foot, that is, instead of drawing an object one foot long, one would draw it 1/8 inch long. One of the most common scales used by architects is 1/4 inch = one foot.
|Example 1:
|Using the scale 1/8 inch = 1 foot, complete the following:
|a. 12 feet are represented by inches.
|b. 1 7/8 inches represent feet.
|a. foot= 1/8 inch
|12 feet = 12 x 1/8 = 1 1/2 inches.
|12 feet are represented by 1 1/2 inches.
|b. 1/8 inch = 1 foot
|1 7/8 $dv 1/8 = 1 7/8 x 8 = 15 feet.
|1 7/8 inches represent 15 feet.
|Example 2:
|Using the scale 1/8 inch = 1 foot, draw a line segment to represent 24 feet.
|1 foot = 1/8 inch.
|24 feet = 24 x 1/8 = 3 inches.
|The scale drawing that represents 24 feet must be 3 inches long.
|3 " = 24 feet
|Example 3:
|Measure the length and width of rectangle ABCD. Using the scale 1/4 inch = 1 foot, express in feet the length and width of the actual figure represented.
|The length of the rectangle is 2 inches and its width is 1/2 inch. The dimensions of the actual figure are obtained as follows:
|1 foot = 1/4 inch
|1/4 inch = 1 foot
|1/4 inch = 1 foot
|2 $dv 1/4 = 2x4 = 8 feet
|1/2 $dv x 4= 2 feet
|Actual Length= 8 feet
|Actual Width = 2 feet
(figure available in print form)
- 1. Using the scale 1/4 inch = 1 foot, find the actual length in feet represented by the following lengths on the drawing: (a) 3 in. (b) 2 1/4 in. (c) 4 3/4 in.
- 2. Using the scale 1/8 inch = 1 foot, how long a segment should be drawn to represent an object whose actual length is (a) 32 ft. (b) 5 yds. (c) 12 ft. (d) 4 ft.?
- 3. Make a scale drawing of a rectangular shaped room whose dimensions are 14 feet by 24 feet.
- 4. Make a scale drawing of the floor plan shown, using the scale 1/4 inch = 1 foot.
- 5. Measure the length and width of your classroom. Choose a convenient scale and make a scale drawing of the floor plan.
- 6. Using the scale 1/4 inch = 1 foot, find the actual dimensions of each room in the diagram on the next page.
(figure available in print form)
A ratio is a comparison by division of two quantities expressed in the same unit of measure. The ratio may be expressed in words or in symbols. For example, if segment AB is 1 inch long and segment CD is 2 inches long, we say that the ratio of AB to CD is 1 to 2. In symbols, the ratio may be expressed as the fraction 1/2, or it may be written in the form 1:2. The fraction line and the symbol : are taken from the division sign $dv.
|Example 1:
|The length and width of a room are 22 feet and 14 feet, respectively. Express in three different ways the ratio of the length of the room to the width in simplest form.
|(1) 22 to 14 or 11 to 7.
|(2) 22/14 or 11/7
|(3) 22:14 or 11:7
|Example 2:
|A door is 30 inches wide and 2 3/4 yards high. What is the ratio of the width to the height of the door?
|Width = 30 inches
|Height=2 3/4 yds. = 2 3/4 x 36=11/4 x 36=99 in.
|The ratio of the width to the height is 30 to 99 or 10 to 33.
- 1. Using a ruler, measure line segments AB, BC, CD, AC, BD, and AD. Evaluate the following ratios:
a.) AB:BC c.) AB:BD e.)BD:BC g.) CD:AB b.) BC:CD d.) BC:AD f.)AC:CD h.) AD:CD
- 2. Express each of the following ratios in lowest terms:
a.) 30:35 c.) 4: 1/2 e.).08:.3 b.) 40: 280 d.) 6:.2 f.) 1/5: 7/15
- 3. Find the ratio of the first quantity to the second:
a.) 3 ft. to 6 yd. c.) 4.5 in. to 3 1/4 yd. b.) 8 in. to 5 ft. d.) 1/2 ft. to 54 in.
- 4. In the adjacent figure, find the following measures:
Width of wall_______ Height of door _______ Height of wall _______ Width of window_______ Width of door_______ Height of window_______
- Using these dimensions, write all possible ratios.
- (figure available in print form)
- 5. Measure the length, width and height of your classroom. What is the ratio of the (a) length to the width? (b) length to the height? (c) width to the height?
A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal. Every proportion has four terms. The first and fourth terms are the extremes. The second and third terms are the means. In every proportion the product of the means equals the product of the extremes. The first equation below shows the order in which the terms of a proportion are written. Equations 2 and 3 demonstrate two ways in which a proportion may be written.
(figure available in print form)
The proportion is read: "2 is to 3 as 6 is to 9". The means are 3 and 6. The extremes are 2 and 8.
Every proportion may be written in four equivalent forms.
|1.) Given
|2.) Invert the
|3.) Alternate
|4.) Invert the
|terms in 1.
|the terms
|terms in 3.
|in 2.
A new proportion may also be obtained from a given one by adding or subtracting 1 on both sides of the equation in the following manner:
(figure available in print form)
The fourth term of a proportion is called the fourth proportional to the other three terms. In 1/2 = 3/6, 6 is the fourth proportional to 1, 2, and 3. When the second and third terms of a proportion are the same, they are called the geometric mean or mean proportional, and the fourth term is then called the third proportional. 1/2 = 2/4, 2 is the mean proportional, and 4 is the third proportional.
|Example 1:
|Is 2/3 = 5/7 a true proportion?
|2/3= 5/7 3(5) = 15 2(7)= 14 3(5)= 2(7) Since the product of the means does not equal the product of the extremes, 2/3 = 5/7 is not a proportion.
|Example 2:
|Find the missing term. 4/7 = x/35
|4/7= x/35 7x = 4(35) 7x = 140 x = 20 The missing term is 20.
|Example 3:
|Find the fourth proportional to 1, 2 and 3.
|1/2= 3/x 1x= 2(3) x= 6
|The fourth proportional is 6.
|Example 4:
|Find the mean proportional between 2 and 8.
|2/x= x/8 x2= 16 x= 4
|The mean proportional between 2 and 8 is 4.
|Example 5:
|Given the proportion 3/5 = 8/15, write a new proportion by addition.
|3/5 = 8/15 3/5+ 1= 8/15 + 1 8/5= 24/15
- 1. Tell whether each pair of ratios given forms a proportion.

- 3. Find the fourth proportional to:
- a.) 4, 5, 6 b.) 8, 10, 12 c.) 3, 5, 7 d.) 8, 12, 13
- 4. Find the mean proportional between:
- a.) 3 and 27 b.) 4 and 16 c.) 6 and 24 d.) 2 and 50.
- 5. Write two new proportions using addition and subtraction. 4/7 = 24/42.
Figure 1: A.
(figure available in print form)
In figure 2, triangle ABC and triangle DEF are symmetric about line m. The corresponding sides and corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent, and m is the perpendicular bisector of segments BE, CF and AD. Triangle DEF is the reflection of triangle ABC, and m is the line of symmetry.
Figure 2: C
(figure available in print form)
Points A and B are symmetric about point M if M is the midpoint of segment AB
(figure available in print form)
Symmetry may be attained by a second distance preserving transformation known as a translation. A translation is the composite of two reflections over two parallel lines. In a translation a figure and its image are parallel. In the figure below line p is parallel to line m. Triangle ABC is reflected over line p, then its image triangle DEF is reflected over line m producing triangle GHI congruent to triangle ABC. The same translation may be performed by sliding triangle ABC along the plane to a new position so that the original figure and its image are parallel and congruent.
(figure available in print form)
The third method of attaining symmetry is by rotation. A rotation is the composite of two reflections over two intersecting lines. In the figure below, triangle MNP is the reflection of triangle ACB over line p. Triangle GJK is the reflection of triangle MNP over line m. The same image may be obtained by rotating triangle ACB counterclockwise. Triangle GJK is congruent to triangle ACB.

Ubisoft announced today that they set a new release date for Far Cry 3, or as we in the business call it, a delay. Protagonist Jason Brody will be putting off his tropical vacation until December 4 in the US (November 29 in EMEA). The previous release date, somewhere around late September, would have positioned Far Cry 3 perfectly for Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales -- a crowded release period, especially leading into the release of the Nintendo Wii. Hopefully Far Cry 3's new release date gives it some breathing room.
The company line for the delay is as follows, from the mouth of Ubisoft producer Dan Hay:
"We're taking more time to create the best possible gameplay experience," said Dan Hay, producer at Ubisoft. "Far Cry 3 is a huge offering and we want every element of this insane, action-packed adventure to be of the highest possible quality for the players."
In conjunction with the delay announcment, Ubisoft also announced the release dates of Just Dance 4 and Rocksmith. The former will be released October 9 in the US (Oct. 2 EMEA), and the latter will have all platforms released on October 16 (Sept. 27 for EMEA on Xbox 360, PS3; Oct. 18 for EMEA on PC).
Judging from this fall's release schedule everyone should still have plenty to play, and Far Cry 3 will simply be the cherry on top. Hopefully this is the last major delay/release date adjustment of the year -- don't hold your breath, though.

Present Calm
Gemini Daily Horoscope
The expectations you have about your life could make you feel uneasy today. Perhaps because you demand so much of yourself, it might seem that nothing really satisfies you, and this might leave you feeling a sense of restlessness. If you can, this may be a good time for you to try to lessen the hold your expectations hold over you, and instead give into the beauty that surrounds you here and now in the present moment. Since hopes are often based on future thoughts and past experiences, you might be able to release your worry by watching your thoughts today. Should your mind veer into a different time frame, you can take a deep breath and gently remind yourself to come back to the present. You might even try naming the thoughts you have – 'past' or 'future'. Doing this could make you feel a greater sense of ease with your life.
Breathing into the present calms our mind and helps us to feel a greater sense of overall wellbeing. Sometimes we expect too much from ourselves – we might compare ourselves with others and feel like we fall short or we might push ourselves to gain praise from those around us. Bringing ourselves back to the present moment, however, allows us to simple be, for when we are attentive to what is happening now, our fear about things dissipates and a sense of peace unfolds instead. Remaining present to your life will make it easier to see that there is really only serenity in your life today.

Temporarily, the new address for Lake High School will be 2249 Tracy Rd, Northwood, O.
The Lake Board of Education has accepted an offer to use the Owens Community College Center for Development and Training building on Tracy Road as the district's high school for the 2010-11 school year.
Members of the Owens and Lake administrations announced the agreement last week at the 53,000-square-foot building.
More than 430 Lake High School students – grades nine through 12 - were left without a school by the June 5 tornado that swept through the Lemoyne Road campus.
The center includes 10 classrooms, three computer laboratories, 34 offices, two reception areas, and 12 learning laboratories.
County promoting instant alerts for residents
In the wake of the June 5 tornado that hit Allen Township after sweeping through neighboring communities, Ottawa County officials are urging residents to sign up for instant alerts, which are issued for severe weather and other emergencies.
The alerts are sent by text messages, pages, or email.
The county uses Inspiron Logistics' Wireless Emergency Notification System to provide the emergency alerts to residents. Brush Wellman, Inc. pays for the subscription service.
For information about the service contact the Ottawa County Emergency Management Agency, (419) 734-6900.
To register, residents should visit www.co.ottawa.oh.us/ottawacoema/index.html.
In the two weeks since the tornado devastated areas of Wood and Ottawa county, individuals, businesses and organizations continue to look for ways to reach out and help the victims of the twister.
In the past week, fundraisers of all kinds – everything from garage sales, barbecues and dart tournaments – have been held throughout the region, and plans call for more efforts in the weeks ahead.
The Press would like to know of fundraising and other efforts to help tornado victims in Wood and Ottawa counties. Call 419-836-2221 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with information.
There are also several Facebook pages devoted to helping local tornado victims, along with a page devoted to nominate Lake High School for the TV show, "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition" (search Extreme Makeover Home Edition: Lake High School).
Here is a sampling of ways to help:
Air Force veteran John "Jack" Gallagher thought he had seen it all while in
Vietnam. But nothing prepared him for what was going to go down as midnight approached on June 5.
Gallagher's Trowbridge Road home was hit hard by tornadoes that crossed from Wood County over into Ottawa County that night. Gallagher, his wife, his daughter, and daughter's boyfriend took the correct action — they went to the basement.
"It was pretty scary. I'd been watching the news on TV and saw it coming," Gallagher said.
What many describe as sounding like a freight train, Gallagher compares the noise of an oncoming tornado to a fighter jet he knew so much about during his Air Force stint.
Once the tornado reached his home, all his family could do was sit back and listen.
Mainstreet Church is going to miss 37-year-old Millbury resident Ryan Lance Walters.
Walters became the third family member to pass away as a result of injuries suffered when a tornado destroyed his home near midnight on June 5. The four members of the Walters family attended Mainstreet Church, which has two Walbridge campuses.
According to news reports, Ryan's wife Mary and five-year-old son Hayden Walters had gone to bed before the tornado hit. Both were killed before extended family members could warn them. Ryan, initially hospitalized, passed away June 13 at St. Vincent-Mercy Medical Center surrounded by his family.
"I knew them very well," said Mainstreet Church pastor Marty Pennington. "Both Ryan and Mary were very active in our church. Mary served in our nursery ministries, Ryan was an IT (information technology) guy by training, and he helped manage our IT systems here at the church as a volunteer."
When Mary and Hayden passed away, Pastor Pennington posted this Bible verse on the church's website, "And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope." from 1 Thessalonians 4:13.
No results found.

I used coconut nectar instead of agave and butter instead of grapeseed oil. Adding cocoa powder and using stevia instead of a nectar would be easy enough. Just adjust the dry until it was the right consistency. The original recipe was actually a bit too wet so I added some chia seeds to absorb some of the moisture and they were perfect. Not too heavy and very yummy.

When one explores the hall of memories, some moments cannot be forgotten or dimmed by the passage of time.
(The following is the second portion of Camden Archives and Museum Director Katherine Richardson's keynote speech at the Baruch Society Annual Meeting, Nov. 15, 2012. Further portions of the speech will be printed in later editions of this column.)
I would like to write a letter expressing my gratitude and thanks for Powers Funeral Home and family for the memorial service they provided to the community on Sunday, December 2, 2012. It was so amazing, filled with precious memories and love. It was a service given to those people who have lost loved ones throughout the year of 2012. It was very meaningful and so full of God's presence and love.
Nicholas Daniel Frank Stimpson, 18, of Mount Pleasant, SC passed away Thursday, December 13, 2012. The relatives and friends of Nicholas Stimpson are invited to attend a celebration of Nick's life at J. Henry Stuhr Mount Pleasant Chapel, Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 6 pm. To anyone who has been touched by Nick's life, you are welcome to join us at Stuhr's Mt. Pleasant Chapel from 4 pm until the celebration begins where viewing will be available.
A Kershaw County sports holiday tradition has been pushed back a week and the move seems to agree with visiting teams.
North Central rebounded from a one-point loss to Buford on Tuesday night with a 71-46 win over visiting Camden Military Academy on Friday night.
Dre Scott hit the 20-point plateau for the second straight game as Lugoff-Elgin held off visiting Central, 75-67, in a Monday night basketball game played inside the Demons Den.
The third time is a charm as much as the first and second ones. After being the first school in the state to be named a recipient of the national "School to Watch" award in 2007, Lugoff-Elgin Middle School (L-EMS) has been recertified for the honor a second time.
Playing the role of the Grinch, the Lugoff-Elgin Middle School wrestling team won their own Leopard Duals on Saturday by holding off an improved Camden Middle School team in the finals, 56-24.
Last summer, 13 dancers from Palmetto Dance Center in Elgin were selected to be a part of the half-time show for the 2013 Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla. Little did they know they would be performing in front of a home crowd of Gamecock fans! The dancers were the only ones selected from South Carolina to perform and will be joining 300 other dancers from across the U.S. to perform both in the pre-game and half-time show. All dancers begin rehearsals Dec. 28 and will practice up until the game on New Year's Day.
Pierre Brevard, of Camden, has been named to the Dean's List at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) for the fall quarter 2012. Full-time undergraduate students who earn a grade point average of 3.5 or above for the quarter receive recognition on the Dean's List.
Charles William Farmer, 69, husband of LaReda Davis Farmer, died Thursday, December 13, 2012 at his home.
Rep. Tim Scott became the immediate front-runner to succeed Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina after DeMint announced he would resign to run the Heritage Foundation, perhaps the pre-eminent conservative think tank in the country. (As an aside, we've seen lots of philosophical mumbo-jumbo come out of think tanks, both conservative and liberal, but very little workable policy.) Other names were bandied about, the strangest one being Jenny Sanford, former wife of the Palmetto State's philandering ex-governor, Mark Sanford.

ST. PETER - Blue Earth Area's freshman tennis tandem of Natali Fellows and Karli Olsen nearly completed the Section 2A doubles bracket's gauntlet on Thursday in St. Peter.
The unseeded and unheralded Bucs' dynamic duo posted victories in both the play-in round and first complete round before falling in a three-set individual quarterfinal marathon match inside the Swanson Tennis Center.
"Natali and Karli battled right to the end, but simply ran out of gas after having played two matches just to get to the quarterfinals," said Blue Earth Area mentor Terry Barnes. "We graduate Aeli (Olson), but the rest of our team will be back next season, so our program should be in good shape down the road."

Fellows and Olsen went on to reach the sectional quarterfinals by winning two playoff matches. Photo by Charlie Sorrells
Fellows, a right-hander, and Karli Olsen, a lefty, proved perfect complements to one another in opening the 11-hour sectional tournament session by disposing of Jordan's Justine Lloyd and Victoria Read, 7-5, 6-1, to emerge from the play-in mini-bracket.
Fellows and Karli Olsen then upended No. 4-seeded Morgan Schwarz and Maggie Nelson of St. Peter during the first complete doubles round, 7-5, 6-2, to reach the quarterfinals.
"It's a long ways from the pigtail matches to the semifinals, especially in one day," said Barnes.
Trailing No. 5-seeded Monica Bye and Kia Legred of United South Central, 2-1, during their quarterfinal clash, Karli Olsen and Fellows recorded two pivotal service breaks at 3-2 and 5-2 to fuel a 6-2 opening-set victory.
Bye and Legred, however, regrouped to register a key service break during a five-deuce Game 6 of the second set to trigger a 6-3 victory to force a third and decisive segment.
Unfortunately for the Blue Earth Area freshmen, Bye and Legred broke early and often to generate a 6-0 third-set decision to advance to Day 2 of the Section 2A Individual Meet.
Bye and Legred will face No. 1-seeded Alicia Knoll and Abbe Hoehn of Waseca in one doubles semifinal showdown at 2 p.m. Monday back at the Swanson Tennis Center in St. Peter.
Knoll and Abbe Hoehn waited through 20 matches before blanking Maple River's Samantha Beto and Rachael Rigdon in the first complete round, 6-0, 6-0. The hard-hitting Waseca tandem then eliminated Belle Plaine's Allison Stolee and Jane Schneider in the quarterfinals, 7-5, 6-1.
In Monday's other sectional doubles semifinal, defending 2A champions and No. 2-seeded Drew DeCorsey and Alex Hancock of Jordan will square off against No. 3-seeded Abby Collins and Shanly Nelson of Waseca.
DeCorsey and Hancock eliminated Blue Earth Area's Karleigh Wolff and Lindsey Prokop in the quarterfinals, 6-0, 6-2. Wolff and Prokop gained the quarters by serving a 6-1, 6-3 full first-round loss to USC's Ali Wood and Linsey Thisius.
Collins and Nelson qualified for Day 2 of the postseason individual tournament by coasting to a 6-1, 6-3 quarterfinal win over Tri-City United's Courtney Hentges and Beth Steinborn.
Identical to the sectional doubles bracket, the No. 1, 2, 3 and 5 seeds reached the singles semifinals.
No. 1-seeded Claire Christian of USC and No. 2-seeded Calleigh Carlson of St. Peter each survived grueling first-round battles before rolling to quarterfinal victories.
Christian fended off TCU's Kori Lowe, 6-3, 7-6 (10-8), before dropping only one game in outslugging promising eighth-grade phenom Rachel Huber of St. Peter in the quarters, 6-1, 6-0.
Christian will face No. 5-seeded Maddie Muotka of Waseca in Monday's 2 p.m. singles semifinal. Muotka rolled to a 6-0, 6-1 first-round decision over Jordan's Rachel Menke before ousting No. 4-seeded Carlie Brandt - a promising freshman from Le Sueur-Henderson - in the quarterfinals, 6-3, 6-0.
Brandt gained the quarterfinals by downing Blue Earth Area sophomore Kaitlyn Olsen, 6-0, 6-2. Olsen gained the first complete round by defeating Sibley East's Lindsay Fasching in a play-in match, 6-2, 4-6, (10-1).
Meanwhile, Carlson will face No. 3-seeded Morgan Setterman of Sibley East in Monday's other sectional singles semifinal. Setterman downed Blue Earth Area freshman Anikka Wilhelmi in the quarterfinals, 6-0, 6-1. Wilhelmi qualified for the quarters by outhitting Belle Plaine's Ashley Morrison in the first complete round, 6-2, 6-3.
Carlson survived USC's Julia Stenzel in a three-set first-round slugfest, 5-7, 6-4, 6-1, before coasting to a 6-2, 6-1 quarterfinal decision over LSH's Sara Mootz.

Exploring the nuances of fear
One aim of the enlightenment was to end the era of fear, according to Gyan Prakash, director of the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies. Scholars hoped to use science, rationality, and knowledge to eliminate the anxieties of the Dark Ages. But, Prakash said, "It turned out to be different."
Fear endured, taking new forms throughout history, and this year, the Davis Center is taking a closer look at the nuances of fear in several periods, from the Incan empire during the Spanish conquest to fascist Italy in the first half of the 20th century. "I thought that it would be interesting to look at other contexts of fear, so that we don't always see fear in the context of the present," Prakash said.
Weekly workshops draw 40 to 50 participants to discuss papers about sources of fear in history. The author's paper is distributed in advance, and a designated commentator opens the discussion with questions about the research.
Prakash said that Davis Center devotees were very enthusiastic about the idea of studying fear. (Other popular seminar themes have included "utopias and dystopias" and "cities: space, society, and history.") In addition to papers from historians, the center received submissions from psychoanalysts, political scientists, diplomats, and retired military officers.
Prakash, the Dayton-Stockton Professor of History, said that the discussions have been building from week to week, despite the seemingly disparate topics. The series resumes its weekly schedule Feb. 7 when Alain Boureau of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales will discuss "Fear as a Passion of the Soul in Scholastic Thought." A full-day fear workshop is scheduled on April 12. For more information, visit the Davis Center Web site.

Ivy League Player of the Year Diana Matheson '08 sparkles with two near-perfect assists. Also on YouTube: a maddening moment for Princeton soccer, from a Sept. 17 men's game against Seton Hall. One of the Pirates scores from near midfield in a clip dubbed the "most incredible soccer goal ever."

That's easy.. You take each four and pair it with our friend 5, which is just half of 10.
You then take each four away from each five, and you are left with two 1′s, which you add together to make 2. You then take 2 away from our friend 10 (who is generous and gracious enough to hand it over), and VOILA! You have 8!

A Twitter feed for actual ridiculous creative notes from TV executives.
If you really want to make a character bitter, try CC'ing them on the creative notes.
Ever wonder how a show you love can suddently turn incredibly crappy? A Twitter feed called @TvNetworkNotes may help answer that question. Granted, there are a lot of moving parts to every TV show. Terrible creative decisions can come from writers, producers, actors - hell, even advertisors can get involved if they're dropping enough coin. But as the saying goes, "shit runs downhill." And in the world of television, the source of Shit River is usually a reservoir located on a giant desk in a corner office.
