"And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men" (Mark 6:42-43 ESV).
Some studies suggest that women speak more words in a day than men and the order of magnitude of the difference is staggering; other studies conclude that to be hogwash. Whatever the empirical truth, in my house, with four young daughters and a wife all having a lot to say, I know my daily word count is dwarfed, and the order of magnitude of the difference is staggering. But even when the clamor is overwhelming, it is not unwelcome, for it resounds with love.
While my spoken words at home are few, the voice in my mind, the inner, hidden part of me that is truly me, keeps up a constant dialogue of thoughts and feelings. Yak, yak, yak, my mind is seldom still or silent. But through my inner voice, I believe the Holy Spirit works to mold me more into the person God wants me to be: when my thoughts are dark, my inner voice chides me and uplifts me; if I am standing too long on the sidelines, my inner voice prods me to take action; if I am wounded or have wounded another, I hear a call towards grace.
The work of the Holy Spirit in our lives is a central tenet of our Christian faith, and His work is important, for it is ever directed towards the purposes of God. Wisdom, knowledge, discernment all derive from the Holy Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control all flow as fruit in our lives from the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23a).
God the Holy Spirit is omnipresent—He is everywhere at once. That means the Spirit in you is in every other Christian believer. Moreover, the Spirit is also at work in the lives of the unsaved, too.
With that in mind, I was thinking about the concept of six degrees of separation the other day (the idea that any person is no more than six first-name introductions away from meeting any other person in the world that they would like to meet). A friend of mine told me the idea originated in the late 1960's with Stanley Milgram, a Yale psychologist. I've experienced enough "it's a small world" events to believe the theory. For example, next week I am having a business dinner with a person I first met a month ago at a conference in Scottsdale. As we finalized arrangements I learned unbeknownst to either of us that we have a mutual friend who lives in Chicago—but I live in Louisiana and my new business acquaintance lives in Denver. It is a small world.
The reason I was thinking about six degrees of separation is how it applies to our Christian life. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and calls us to Christ, and that is one degree of separation. But we share in the work of the Spirit by living quiet lives that inspire others, by caring for those who are hurting, and by offering a cup of cold water in Jesus' name. When we are active in this type of evangelism, we become the other degrees of separation.
So the next time you are in a conversation with another person, reflect for a moment about the omnipresence of the Spirit. While you cannot know what the other person is truly thinking or feeling any more than they can you, the Holy Spirit knows you both intimately. Who knows, the Spirit may be using you to move the other person one degree closer to Christ. If they are already believers, perhaps there is a message they need to hear that only you can say. And if they are not saved, perhaps you will be the final degree of separation that saves their life for eternity.
Jesus fed five thousand men with a few loaves and fish. That was a remarkable miracle. When the Holy Spirit uses us to call others to Christ, we are suddenly part of a greater miracle—we are feeding them the bread of life.

Quite a way to start the season for the U-M hockey team. The Wolverines stunned No. 2 Boston College, 4-3 in overtime on freshman Louie Caparusso's goal.
Carl Hagelin, Travis Turnbull and Danny Fardig also tallied goals for the Maize and Blue, which actually led 3-1 in the 3rd before coughing up the two-goal advantage. Goalkeeper Billy Sauer made 19 saves.
No. 9 Michigan gets a chance to add another upset tomorrow night when the Wolverines take on No. 6 Minnesota in the title game of the Ice Breaker Invitational.

Cranberry Orange Quinoa Pudding {Lactose-Free and Gluten-Free}
I've been seeing a lot of clients, as of late, who want to try a low FODMAPs diet for their IBS {Irritable Bowel Syndrome} symptoms. Thus far, I'd say, ~3/4 of my patients with IBS have experienced partial or almost complete resolution of their gas, bloating, and abdominal pain by eliminating or cutting back on foods high in FODMAPs {Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, And Polyols}
That's a mouthful!
One food that tends to be a nemesis for my clients with IBS, is cow's milk, which contains the milk sugar lactose. IBS or not, lactose intolerance is quite common in adults, especially in African American, Asian, American Indian, and Hispanic populatons, and lactose-free products can be a godsend for those lactose intolerant folks who enjoy cow's milk and don't want to eliminate it from their diets.
This is where Lactose Free milk, such as the Organic Valley brand, comes in quite handy.
If you've never tasted lactose-free milk before, you're in for a big surprise. It tastes like…
Albeit, a tad bit sweeter than lactose containing milk, since the lactose, aka milk sugar, has already been broken down in to it's components, glucose and galactose.
This month, The Southwest Dairy Association is challenging Recipe ReDux members to create holiday recipes using lactose-free cow's milk, so today's Quinoa Pudding was made especially for those of you with lactose intolerance, anyone on a FODMAPs diet, and everyone else for that matter, since the pudding is equally delicious with regular cow's milk, or any non-dairy alternatives.
Oh, and since cranberries are still deliciously in season, I've added them to this pudding to continue the November #cranberrylove celebration!
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1½ cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2½ cups lactose-free milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place cranberries and orange juice in a medium sauce pan, and heat until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 5 minutes, or until cranberries have "popped" and are cooked through.
- Add quinoa, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and orange zest to orange juice and cranberry mixture, and heat until boiling. Turn heat down to medium low and cover ~2/3 of the pan. Cook mixture for ~ 30 minutes, or until pudding consistency is achieved. Stir every 3-5 minutes to prevent sticking. While quinoa is cooking, place sliced almonds on a baking sheet, and bake in oven for 4-5 minutes, or until lightly brown and toasted.
- Divide quinoa pudding equally in to 7 serving dishes, and top with toasted almonds. Serve warm, or you may chill pudding in fridge, and serve cold.
This Cranberry Orange Quinoa Pudding not only makes for a healthy and delicious dessert, but makes for a fabulous breakfast as well. Pinky swear, I promise not to tell your mom you're having pudding for breakfast!

One hundred years ago today, a cookie was born in Hudson County.
Mallomars, a chocolate-covered marshmallow with a graham cracker cookie base, were first sold to a grocer in West Hoboken on Nov. 13, 1913. A box cost 10 cents.
"Buy them once and you'll buy them again and again," reads a 1920 Mallomars ad.
Snack giant Nabisco had previously made a similar cookie, Marshmallow Crème, sold by weight, but Mallomars were its effort to make them available to retailers.
But not year-round. Cookie lovers could only find them from September through March because the warm weather would melt the chocolate coating.
Even with advances in refrigerated shipping and storage, Mallomars continue to be sold during cooler months "to maintain tradition," according to Mallomars spokeswoman Kendra Smith.
West Hoboken was not part of the Mile Square City — it joined with the Town of Union (also known as Union Hill) to become Union City in 1925.
Mallomars are one of many treats formerly produced in Hudson County. Hostess made its famous cupcakes and Twinkies on Park Avenue in Hoboken. Also in Hoboken, the Sweets Company of America made Tootsie Rolls in a factory at 16th Street and Willow Avenue.
Mallomars are now made in Ontario.
Mondelez International, which produces Mallomars, said it sold 2.9 million boxes of the cookies from September 2012 through March 2013.
Even though the company says about 95 percent of Mallomars sales are located in the Northeast, references to the cookie litter pop culture.
Billy Crystal's character in the 1989 romantic comedy "When Harry Met Sally," penned by Nora Ephron, declares Mallomars "the greatest cookie of all time." Lorelei Gilmore celebrated her birthday by stacking them on her kitchen table in television's "Gilmore Girls."
Even mob boss Tony Soprano professed a love for them on "The Sopranos."
On "The Golden Girls," Rue McClanahan's character, Blanche, namedrops the cookie when two of her roommates tell her they each have bad news to tell her.
"Will one of you just say something so I can become hysterical, eat a box of Mallomars and get it over with?" Blanche tells them.

Altmar, NY -- An Oswego County man was injured in a fight Friday while he was fishing on the Salmon River north of the village of Altmar, state Department of Environmental Conservation police said Monday.
William E. Murray, 62, was treated at Upstate University Hospital and released, police said.
DEC police would not release information on the incident because it is an open investigation. They said no charges had been filed as of Monday.
State police said a fight broke out between three men and Murray, who were all fishing in the river at about 4:10 p.m. Friday. Troopers said the fishermen know each other and usually use the Ellis Cove parking area.
Police said the fight may have been over an alleged tire slashing. Troopers said the incident occurred in the river off county Route 52, between Tar Hill and Hogs Back roads.

The news that Delaware Valley High School will buy over a thousand iPads — one for each student, and some for staff — has some NJ.com commenters wondering if the move is really a step forward.
Though district officials described the lease-purchase as "zero-impact," NJ.com user dambusta wants to know what strain this will place on the school's existing technology:
Hmmmm, wonder how the increased infrastructure to support wireless and possible increased IT to manage those iPads. Proof is in the final bills. May 24, 2012 at 4:27AM
Commenter steelman47 thinks that parents or students should be responsible for purchasing their own technology:
Shouldn't the parents be responsible for buying these? Or, here's a novel idea, why not have the kids WORK and use THEIR OWN MONEY, to buy them. Teach them some responsibility. Why should the taxpayer who no longer has children in school, buy everything the think they need. And try and convince me that the teachers can't afford to pay for their own. May 24, 2012 at 7:10AM
While wereallblue thinks there are more problems than just the cost:
The insanity of giving every kid in school a device capable of instant video and text communication with each other can't be over stated. This is bleeding edge school technology using devices that are damn near impossible to secure with any level of certainty. Why are they spending their very limited funds blazing a trail for the rest of the nation? What kind of upgrades did this require to the school's wireless systems? How many people does this tiny school employ who will be ale to actually teach the students more than they already know about the things?
Most importantly, where will the buck stop when this experiment blows up and there are a thousand iPads in a closet and the kids are back to toting around 4 year old textbooks they had to resurrect from some basement? May 23, 2012 at 11:54PM
What do you think? Is it a good idea to buy students iPads? Will it help them learn? Or is it more than the district and its taxpayers can afford? Share your thoughts in the comments of Delaware Valley High School buying 1,110 iPads, one for each student, most staff.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Imagine spotting the perfect shade of paint while out walking the dog -- and being able to translate that image into a palette at the paint store.
That's the idea behind Sherwin-Williams Co.'s ColorSnap Glass, a free mobile app that the Cleveland paint company just launched for users of Google Glass.
Google Glass, launched earlier this year, is a tiny computer mounted on an eyeglass frame that lets people snap pictures, shoot video and surf the Internet with simple voice commands.
State-of-the-art technology lets users take "pictures" of what they're looking at through their Google Glasses, send them to Sherwin-Williams and have those images transformed into a grouping of complementary paint colors. Users also get directions to the closest Sherwin-Williams paint store where they can buy those very hues.
The app is currently available only to the 10,000 people in the Google Glass Explorer program, as well as their friends and families. Those people, including many in Northeast Ohio, won a nationwide contest and paid $1,500 for their sneak peek of Google's "wearable technology," which could be sold to the public next year.
Sherwin-Williams and Resource, the digital agency in Columbus that developed the technology, are asking for consumer feedback about ColorSnap Glass as part of ongoing efforts to make future versions more user-friendly and appealing.
But even if you don't have Google Glass or any intentions of getting it, you can still try out ColorSnap's technology via its free mobile apps for iPhones, Android and Blackberry, or ColorSnap Studio app for iPads.
ColorSnap mobile apps let users upload photos of their room and virtually try out more than 1,500 Sherwin-Williams colors, varying them by light and intensity until they find a shade they're happy with. They can then save the palette or share it via email or Facebook.
When ColorSnap launched in 2009, Advertising Age hailed it as one of the Top 10 "Cool Branded iPhone Apps."
"We're committed to harnessing the latest in technology in order to create superior experiences for our customers," Ellen Moreau, Sherwin-Williams' vice president of marketing communications, said in a statement. "Cutting edge applications like ColorSnap Glass elevate our brand and keep us top of mind with consumers by bringing color inspiration to life in a fun and engaging way."
Resource, the Columbus digital agency, said ColorSnap Glass is the first Google Glass application developed for a major consumer brand.
Sherwin-Williams said ColorSnap apps have been downloaded more than 1 million times.
"We're steadfast on breaking new ground that uniquely empowers and inspires consumers, which means we have to make them a part of the conversation," Resource Chief Executive Kelly Mooney said in a statement.

Persuasive Listening
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
You might feel persuasive today, making it easier for you to convince others of your point of view. Perhaps you could be more conscientious of what it takes to influence people around you, such as by listening closely or by responding honestly and truthfully to what they have to say. Because of this you may find that other people are more receptive to your ideas if you show that you have completely heard them. Using active listening--rephrasing what someone has said before you add your own ideas--can be a way to demonstrate that you have fully understood another person. Active listening not only lets others feel that their ideas are valued, but it also ensures that you have completely understood what they have said. Those around you, as a result, could feel that their ideas are valued and respected, and you can fully appreciate their perspective before launching into your own.
Others are much more responsive to our ideas when they know that we value theirs just as much as our own. Showing that we have fully heard their message is one way to indicate just how much we have heard and is also a valuable tool for incorporating their needs into our own ideas--we will be much more persuasive the more credence we give to others' ideas. By letting people know how much you care about and are aware of their thoughts today, you will win them over with your openness and understanding.

A Rent Extraction View of Employee Discounts and Benefits
We offer a novel view of employee discounts and in kind compensation. In our theory, bundling perks and cash compensation allows a firm to extract information rents from employees who have private information about their preferences for the perk and about their outside opportunities. We show that in maximizing profit with heterogeneous workers, the firm creates different bundles of the perk and salary in response to different employee characteristics and marginal costs of the perk. Our key result is that strategic bundling can lead firms to provide perks even in the absence of any cost advantage over the outside market and to deviate from the standard marginal cost pricing rule. We study how this deviation depends upon the set of feasible contracts, upon the perk's marginal cost, and upon the correlation between the agents' preferences for the good and their reservation utilities.

Detailed Description:
GSK249320 is a humanised monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds with high specificity to myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) and antagonises or neutralises MAG-mediated inhibition and has been shown to improve functional recovery after stroke in pre-clinical models, possibly by promoting neuroregeneration and plasticity. The present study is the first in patients with stroke. The main aim of this study is to select tolerated doses of GSK249320 that can be used in future trials to evaluate its efficacy in improving clinical function in patients recovering from stroke. This clinical trial is designed as a placebo-controlled, single-blind, multicenter study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of escalating repeat IV doses of GSK249320. Three sequential dose escalation cohorts (1, 5 and 15 mg/kg) are planned, with 8 patients on placebo and 8 on active in cohort 1 and 4 patients on placebo and 8 on active in cohorts 2 and 3. Each patient will receive 2 repeat IV doses 9 ± 1 days apart and assessments will extend to at least 16 weeks.

A new study suggests that twenty minutes of daily vigorous physical activity among college students could add .4 points or more to their GPA on a scale of 4.0 compared to students who do not exercise.
The American College of Sports Medicine study was presented Thursday. It further backed the idea that exercise helps to alleviate stress, increase performance and give an overall sense of well-being.
The study was done on on a group of 266 undergraduate students between the ages of 18-22. The researchers considered vigorous activity as one that makes you sweat or breathe hard. The study's findings were consistent regardless of gender, or even major for that matter.
Researchers say that the activity doesn't need to be done every day of the week, but the more activity a student can fit in, the better.
Here's what's being said about the study:
»CNN: Does increased activity mean a higher GPA?
»NY Times: Vigorous Exercise Linked With Better Grades
»Medical News Today: Hit the treadmill, not just the books, to boost GPA

By AMANDA JERMYN
We've long known that water once flowed on Mars, and it is currently abundant on the red planet in the form of ice. Water ice covers its north pole. It also lies beneath carbon dioxide ice at its south pole and below the surface elsewhere in warmer latitudes.
In fact, enough ice has been identified on Mars to cover the planet to a depth of about 115 feet, and there is probably even more deeper down.
While ancient Mars had warmer temperatures and higher atmospheric pressures that allowed for liquid water, its current temperatures and pressures were thought to be far too low.
Recently, however, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Odyssey Orbiter have been taking photographs that reveal strange dark streaks. These are intriguing researchers with their mysterious features, and may be evidence of water flowing on Mars today.
Lujendra Ojha, a graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, first identified the streaks as potential saltwater flows while an undergraduate student at the University of Arizona in Tucson. He is the lead author of two recent reports on these features in the journals Icarus and Geophysical Research Letters.
The recurring slope lineae, as they are known, appear to flow downhill. They are visible only during the late Martian spring and summer, and then disappear as the weather cools. The thin streaks, located around the equator, cover long distances and branch out as if they were rivers.
This is not the first time that dark materials have been observed on Mars. In the 1970s the Viking Orbiter recorded evidence of such matter that appeared from time to time on crater walls and other steep slopes on Mars. Researchers determined that they were caused by avalanches disturbing the surface layer of dust. However, these were very different from the recently discovered dark streaks. They were much wider, and appeared at random times throughout the Martian year.
The recently discovered recurring slope lineae are now thought to be the result of ice in the soil heating up, becoming liquid and flowing downhill. But how could this be, given that the temperatures on Mars are too cold for liquid water, even in the summer?
Researchers suggest the flows are brines containing iron-rich minerals, such as ferric sulfate, that act as a kind of antifreeze, letting the water remain liquid despite temperatures below freezing. These iron-rich minerals have, in fact, been found to be more abundant in recurring slope lineae than elsewhere on Mars. They are also more abundant in warmer weather when water is more likely to flow. Lujendra Ojha maintains that while no definitive proof currently exists of water flowing on Mars, there is no other likely explanation for these features.
According to Richard Zurek, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter project scientist, "The flow of water, even briny water, anywhere on Mars today would be a major discovery, impacting our understanding of present climate change on Mars and possibly indicating potential habitats for life near the surface on modern Mars."
While the rover Curiosity currently exploring Mars is not equipped to detect life, NASA plans to send another rover to the red planet in 2020 to look for signs of past life and collect samples for future return to Earth. With the recent discovery of potential water flows, that search might just possibly reveal signs of life on Mars today.

KALAMAZOO — When Che Madyun moved to Boston's Dudley Street neighborhood in the mid-1970s, it was a place where companies illegally dumped trash and landlords set fire to their own properties for insurance money.
Today, Madyun regards the neighborhood as one of that city's safest and friendliest and will share the strategies used to turn it around at the annual ISAAC (Interfaith Strategy for Advocacy and Action in the Community) Banquet on March 20.
"Boston is an area where people walk on the streets and don't talk to each other," Madyun said from there in a telephone interview. "We speak to each other here (in the Dudley Neighborhood). We've been able to build that kind of relationship with each other."
Building such relationships took years and hard work, according to Madyun, a founding board member of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative, which formed in the mid-1980s with a goal of reviving the area just two miles southwest of downtown Boston.
The initiative is "an entity that makes sure residents are involved in planning of their community," she said.
Madyun said that at the March 20 banquet she will speak about the kind of community involvement, principles and resident-driven organizing used to turn the Dudley neighborhood around.
In 1988, Dudley Neighbors, Inc., was granted eminent domain of some vacant lots, giving it authority to redevelop the parcels that accounted for one-fifth of the neighborhood's core area into affordable housing. Initially, 38 housing units were built. To date, 155 homes have been built, along with two small community centers.
"We don't have many vacant lots anymore," Madyun said.
Madyun now teaches community building and theater classes at Cambridge College and is also running a resident-led grant project.
Dudley Street neighborhood residents are currently giving input for a new, larger community center being built by the Salvation Army with funds from philanthropists Ray and Joan Kroc.
"Nothing happens around here without the community, It's almost like the culture here," Madyun said.
Tobi Hanna-Davies, ISAAC's vice president for communications, said Madyun was invited to speak at the banquet after ISAAC leaders saw the documentary "Holding Ground: The Rebirth of Dudley Street" and the book "Streets of Hope: The Fall and Rise of an Urban Neighborhood."
"We knew she would be a very engaging speaker and we knew she would have a lot of lessons for Kalamazoo," Hanna-Davies said. "I think she'll really encourage what ISAAC is already working at: building community across all the social barriers."
Also at the banquet, state Sen. Tom George and state Rep. Robert Jones will receive the first ISAAC Elected Ally of the Year awards for their attempts at securing state funds to continue ISAAC's Nurse Family Partnership program.
Kalamazoo Public Schools Superintendent Michael Rice will receive the Public Official of the Year award for working with ISAAC on its Early Childhood Education Task Force.
Truth Tone Records and Meagan McNeal will give musical performances both at the banquet and a VIP reception beforehand. At the reception, attendees will have a chance to meet with Madyun.
Those who order tickets by Monday have a dinner choice of barbecue pork, talapia or vegetarian ravioli. If ordering after March 15, a dinner choice can not be guaranteed.

INTO Calls for an End to Commercial Exploitation of School Children
January 12, 2010 by Mark C
The INTO has said primary teachers should not support advertising projects by commercial companies which target children or their families through schools. The union made its announcement following the launch of a project promoted by the Irish Independent and sponsored by Bank of Ireland.
"Bank of Ireland is one of the financial institutions that contributed to this country's economic collapse," said Ms Ní Chuinneagáin. "It has been bailed out to date with 3.5 billion in state aid so far with more taxpayers money expected to be pumped into it. Just today, it is set to get 11.5 billion of taxpayers money through the NAMA scheme to pay for its reckless lending to developers and speculators."
"The 1.5 million euro in sponsorship money is effectively taxpayers' money which is being used to promote the bank through school children," she said. "Primary teachers should not have any hand act or part in promoting the public rehabilitation of this or any other bank in this manner."
The INTO said schools needed government investment but objected strongly to it being channelled through Bank of Ireland advertising.
"This must be a new low in trying to target school children for commercial gain," she said.
"Because of the reckless activities of Irish banks resources to schools have been withdrawn, teacher numbers have been cut back and teachers have seen their salaries cut. It takes some brass neck to expect teachers to co-operate with an advertising scheme. "
The INTO also said Independent Newspapers was consistent in its support for reductions in public servants pay. "It beggars belief that following this editorial line the company would now expect teachers to collect tokens to promote sales of its newspaper," said the INTO President.
She also pointed out that the rules of the competition required a 300 pupil school community to purchase more than 10,000 euros worth of newspapers. "This shows clearly that the company is committed to self-enrichment rather than the enrichment of primary schools as the promotional material claims."
Ms Ní Chuinneagáin said the union would make a public protest against this promotion in the near future if the companies involved did not scrap the scheme.
The INTO has an established policy in relation to the promotion of commercial products through schools (see below). It aims to prevent the exploitation of pupils for commercial ends in schools and particularly urges schools not to support proof of purchase schemes.
The union said it did not oppose all links between businesses and schools. "Many schools could not survive without the support of local businesses that regularly support local fundraising efforts. However, this is done in ways that do not seek to exploit children for financial or commercial gain in schools."

Hi there
We have exactly the same problem. We also got our Wii for xmas and all has been fine until yesterday.
The remote has gone nuts!
My husband discovered this when playing Tiger Woods golf.
The remote doesn't recognise when he is pointing the controller down - it works in all other capacities so it isn't totally not working.
When we tried bowling, we can bowl, but the bowler just lobs the ball, as opposed to swinging his arm back and forth. The remote simply doesn't recognise when the remote points down towards the ground.
PLEASE HELP. WE ONLY HAVE ONE CONTROLLER SO NOW WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND MY SON IS HAVING A FRIEND ROUND TODAY TO PLAY Wii.............

The best-and-the-brightest students of Susan Wagner paid tribute to these Sandy survivors last week by dedicating their annual National Honor Society (NHS) induction ceremony to them.
"Home Is Where the Heart Is" was the theme of the poignant Wednesday evening candlelight ceremony, that saw 386 Susan Wagner students — sophomores, juniors and seniors — initiated into the school's chapter of NHS/Arista.
To be inducted into NHS is no small feat. According to faculty moderators Carolyn Vento and Gina Moscato, students must maintain a cumulative academic average of at least 90; have logged at least 50 hours of volunteer service; demonstrate involvement in extra-curricular activities; have a good attendance record, and be recommended by three faculty members.
The students lit candles as they took their oath. In keeping with the theme, the symphonic band played "A Winter in New York" — a composition about their hometown. Student historians made house-shaped collages with pictures of post-Sandy events.
Speakers recalled how their building was literally home to hundreds of evacuees, and how after they returned to class, students mobilized to donate 700 pounds of food to City Harvest for Sandy victims and others in need on Staten Island.
Hosts for the evening were senior Arista leaders Cole Lee and Gemma Pinto.
"Being a part of the National Honor Society, also known as Arista, sets you apart from the hundreds of other students in school," Cole told the new inductees.
"Each and every one of you are the definition of Arista. In Greek, the word Arista means 'the best' and as I look around this room that's all I see .¤.¤. Each and every one of you is well-rounded, and knows how to balance academics with the rest of life. You know how to pursue knowledge with passion; and that's why you're here."
Miss Pinto reminded the inductees that "being involved in school has molded us in more ways than we may notice."
"Some of us might be scholars, or honor students, or kids with really great averages, however we are also athletes, dancers, writers, artists, politicians, musicians, leaders, singers, competitors, equals .¤.¤. We're not just kids who are the 'crème de la crème' or the cream of the crop, we are people that know how to push the envelope and go above and beyond," she said.
District Attorney Dan Donovan, the keynote speaker, told students that he gets hundreds of applications for interviews and internships, but looks for ones that stand out. He said all of the students initiated have done just that, set themselves apart by their academic achievement, as well as by their volunteer service.
Principal Gary Giordano presented Donovan with Susan Wagner's Award for Educational Leadership in the Service of Youth.

Dalton Michael Stern and Jacob Ryan Sweeney were last seen Monday afternoon, according to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office. Because of the inclement weather, authorities have reported their disappearances to a variety of national agencies.
Dalton was last seen about 4:45 p.m. Monday in the area of Meadowbrook Road. Jacob was last seen about 3 p.m., also Monday, in the area of Brook Highland Parkway.
Sheriff's officials believe the two left their homes by choice, and are likely together. Deputies actively searched for them, according to a press release issued Tuesday, and now are asking for help from the public.
Dalton is described as 5-feet, 8-inches tall, weighing about 130 pounds. He has blond hair and blue eyes. When he was last seen, he was wearing a black hooded shirt and blue jeans.
Jacob is 5-feet, 10-inches tall, weighing about 160 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Sheriff's officials said the pair has been reported nationally as "Missing-Endangered." Among the agencies notified are the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center, National Crime Information Center and the National Center for Missing and Exploited children.
Anyone with information about the teens or their whereabouts is asked to reach out to the sheriff's office at 205-669-4181, through the Secret Witness line at 205-669-9116 or through the sheriff's website at www.ShelbySO.com by clicking on the "Report Criminal Activity" link and choosing the "General Information" category.
Information can also be submitted through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's website at www.missingkids.com, or by calling the 24 hour hotline at 1-800-THE-LOST.

Flint opens play at 1:30 p.m. Saturday against Detroit, a team the Flames just beat last weekend, 57-47. Detroit beat Flint in their previous meeting, 102-89 in May.
"We were able to get a chance to see them (Detroit) late in the season," Flames coach Dreyon Wynn said. "It gave us a chance to see what we need to work on."
One thing the Flames were able to do well against Detroit was limit the effectiveness of Detroit's top scorer, Joei Clyburn. Clyburn is a tall wing player, and Flint's perimeter players are all shorter. Wynn rotated Nicole Carr and Tamarah Riley, both post players who are athletic enough to step out and guard on the perimeter, onto Clyburn in the second half of their game July 31 and they were able to hold her scoreless.
"I like to play physical," Riley said. "We just need to just play our game. We had some sloppy moments and turnovers and finishing layups (in the last game against Detroit). We just need to focus on fixing those things."
While the Flames' guard play — led by Jasmine McCall, Taushauna Churchwell and Nan Moore — has been strong all season, the mid-season additions of Riley and Lauren Aitch added a new dimension to the team.
Riley, who played at Ohio State, is an athletic hustle player who has been a force on the offensive glass. Aitch, who played at Michigan State, has provided strength and toughness inside.
Along with Larecha Jones, the team's leading scorer, the frontcourt has become a weapon and added more balance for the Flames.
"Our guards are definitely go-to," Riley said. "They know how to slash, they can hit pull-up jumpers, they have the all-around game. Us being able to get the ball and make plays in the post opens things up for them."
The winner of the first game Saturday will play No. 1 seed Columbus, who has a bye, in the regional final. Columbus is 13-2 this season, with both of those losses coming against the Flames. Columbus has also beaten Flint twice.
The Hidden Gems are led by their guard play as well — Jeannie Saunders and Brandie Hoskins are both big-time scorers with WNBA experience. Hoskins is averaging 23 points per game and Saunders is averaging 13 a game for Columbus.
"Columbus is the No. 1 team out of 54 teams in this league," Wynn said. "We have to get it together (if we are going to beat them)."

WEST NEW YORK- As a result of increased patrols because of the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign in the city, a 59th Street resident was arrested early Sunday morning.
Police Director Michael E. Indri said around 1:49 a.m. Sunday morning, Officer Bobby Cirri was on patrol in the area of 56th Street and Bergenline Avenue when they saw a 2006 Toyota Camry driving without headlights, a report states.
Reports state that when he approached the vehicle, Cirri smelt alcohol coming from the car and driver, Javier Andujar 49, of West New York.
Andujar was given a field sobriety test, which he failed according to police. He was taken to headquarters where he refused to take an alcohol test. Andujar was charged with driving under the influence, refusal to take an alcohol test, failure to illuminate headlights, and driving with an expired license. He was released into the custody of his wife, police said.
Indri praised the program and it's effectiveness.
"This is a serious issue," Indri said. "My officers are aggressive. This is a dangerous issue and we're going to do all that we can to combat it."

Earlier this month, the NHL went through yet another frenzy of free agent signings. The majority of players who had expiring contracts were looking to cash in with one of the other 29 teams that would pay them more money.
These annual bidding wars and frenzies of signings are far from what a free agent once represented. As recently as 20 years ago, the main reason a player became a free agent is because his team didn't want him anymore. The athlete marketplace wasn't like it is today, and there weren't many star players who ever made it to free agency.
During the history of the Vancouver Canucks, the majority of their teams have been built through the draft and through trades. For example, almost the entire Vancouver Canucks team that made the Stanley Cup Finals in 1994 were players drafted by the team (Trevor Linden, Pavel Bure) or were traded to the team (Cliff Ronning, Geoff Courtnall, Greg Adams, Jyrki Lumme, Jeff Brown, Kirk McLean).
But there were a few free agents that came to the Canucks in their early days and made an impact, and the team has evolved into an active player in the free agent market today. Let's take a look at the seven best free agent signings in the 40-year history of the Vancouver Canucks and rank them accordingly.

Toro Power Max 1028 LXE Review
Those looking for a powerful, quality snowblower may want to consider the Toro Power Max 1028 LXE. This upper-level machine can handle it all heavy snow, wet snow, large drifts, etc. Whatever needs to get done this machine can do it.
The heavy duty Toro Power Max 1028 LXE comes with a 10 horsepower Tecumseh Snow King engine which can throw snow an impressive 45 feet. With a joystick chute control you can easily rotate the chute to get snow exactly where you need it. And with the Toro Power Max Auger system moving snow quickly past the auger and out the chute youll never get stuck in a big drift. Toro has also cut down on the frequency of blockages by expanding the base of the chute.
At 250 pounds this is no lightweight snowblower, but the freewheel steering design makes it easy to move around. As for maintenance, Toro has thought ahead by making shear pins a breeze to change. All in all this machine is heavy duty and should only be considered if you need a snowblower that can do serious work all the time. Otherwise you may regret having such a large machine for clearing a few inches of snow every now and then.

New Orleans church receives 'minimal damage'
The Blessed Seelos Catholic Church, which braved winds of 96 mph two weeks ago as Hurricane Gustav tore through New Orleans, received "minimal damage" during the storm, according to Mercer Island resident and Pipe Organ Foundation President Carl Dodrill.
A few days after the hurricane ended, a member of the Blessed Seelos clergy told Dodrill that Gustav blew out one window of the parish hall, an awning outside the sanctuary and a downspout in the rectory.
"These losses were described by the priest as 'minimal,' and I guess they are for them," Dodrill wrote in a letter to the Reporter. "For us, I suppose that 70-90 mph winds that blew out a window in one of our houses would be more than minimal, but for them, it does not amount to a whole lot."
None of the parishioners at Blessed Seelos were harmed during the hurricane, which struck New Orleans on Sept. 1, as most evacuated the city. The newly restored Moller pipe organ also survived Gustav with no damages.
Last spring, Dodrill led a 37-member team in building a new Moller pipe organ for Blessed Seelos after the original was destroyed during a 2003 fire. Two weeks after the organ was resurrected in the New Orleans church, the steeple was struck by lightning and the electric organ was ruined. Dodrill returned to New Orleans with his wife and a specialist to repair the organ last month. The Reporter ran a story on Blessed Seelos, the organ and the impending Hurricane Gustav in its Sept. 3 issue.

The Acoustic Routes benefit concert held at Mangiamo Italian
Grill Sept. 28 brought in more than $700 for the 'Keep Saline Aglow!' campaign,
which aims to raise $55,000 to purchase and restring LED lights on 87 trees
along Michigan Avenue as well as North and South Ann Arbor Street.
With the help of the Saline Area Chamber of Commerce, which matched the amount brought in by the concert, and donations made by community members, $17,000 has been raised so far.
"We've had contributions from individuals who are sponsoring a particular tree, donations from individuals at one of the Summer Music Series Nights and we've brought in money from people attending the benefit concert," Saline Chamber of Commerce Director Art Trapp said. "We've gotten smaller donations and even had a few individuals donating as much as $1,000."
Lights strung in the downtown area are usually turned on each night from November through April. Trapp said Saline has had a beautifully lit downtown since 2008 when a similar campaign funded the purchase and installation of the lights.
"The lights last for 100,000 hours, but the wires do not because of the weather conditions they endure and rubbing against the tree bark," Trapp said. "We needed to replace the lights bought in 2008 and we also needed to have the trees trimmed, which couldn't be done with the lights in. So they had to come out."
Trapp said there were about 80 out of 87 trees along Michigan Avenue and Ann Arbor Street strung with lights last winter.
"With the money we have raised so far we would probably be able to have about 25 trees strung," Trapp said. "There are at least 60 I would like to see done by November 1."
The Chamber has already purchased 100 new LED light strands, but funding for installation is still short.
"Any donations would be greatly appreciated," Trapp said. "It makes a huge difference for our community to have these lights on throughout the winter. It adds character to the downtown area and is a source of pride for our city."
Donations can be made directly to the Saline Chamber of Commerce or donors can sponsor a tree for a year. A plaque on the sponsored tree will recognize the donors support.

T-Mobile LTE Lights Up In Kansas City
We know that T-Mobile is planning to launch their LTE network soon, but it seems that it has gone live in Kansas City, at least partially. Someone with an AT&T Galaxy Note (original) noticed he had 4G LTE in one area on T-Mobile, and a speed test shows it to be true. Since the AT&T Note supports Band 4 LTE, it will work on T-Mobile's 1700MHz AWS network.
The speeds aren't very impressive yet (the user got higher speeds at a later part of the day, but not by much), but considering that the network hasn't officially launched, they don't have to be. We're sure that they'll increase when the network is up for everyone to use. Are you guys excited for T-Mobile LTE?

Voice: Janet Smekar, Saginaw
It seems like not many people lately have respect and give way to emergency services vehicles when necessary.
Around 4:15 p.m. recently, I was near the corner of State and Center on Center itself, and the light turns green for Center Road traffic to proceed. In the distance on Street Street by the corner, I saw an ambulance with lights and sirens on and it stopped briefly to ensure all clear before proceeding on through.
I saw on the left side of me, two cars fly right through the intersection when the cars in the right lane and left turn lane were stopped, and not moving, as they were supposed to be doing.
I hope for the two drivers that flew through that intersection, that the ambulance wasn't trying to get to someone you loved who was ill or injured.
A minute or so of waiting for it to pass wasn't going harm you all one bit.

For Deven Jackson, the biggest change in his prosthetic legs is how they feel.
"He puts them on in the morning without complaining whatsoever and wears them all day, till maybe 7 at night [when] he takes them off," said his mother, Michelle Jackson, of Shermans Dale.
He can even walk up and down the hill to her mother's house, which he couldn't do before, she added.
The 10-year-old Perry County boy received this new type of prosthesis with the New York Giants' logos instead of flames just before Thanksgiving.
Deven lost his lower legs through a bout with meningococcal disease the summer of 2012. Neisseria meningitidis bacteria spread through his bloodstream, activating his immune system to wall off the infection by causing his blood to clot. The resulting tissue death led to skin grafts and amputation of his lower legs.
After months in hospitals and 10 surgeries, he returned in February to Carroll Elementary School.
"It's made such a huge difference with the new legs. It's a much better fit," said Theda Tallman, physical therapy assistant at HealthSouth Rehabilitation in Mechanicsburg.
"Better" is how Deven describes the new prosthetic "sockets" for his legs, which he got at Hangers in Baltimore. He said it takes him "maybe three seconds" to put them on in the morning. The sockets, which fit into the lower portion of the legs, have gel liners, which click into place.
The Jacksons are still working out insurance issues, but Michelle said they're hoping Deven also can get new feet that bend, which would allow him to start running again, which he hasn't mastered.
Overcoming obstacles
When he began therapy in June, he was using a walker. Now, he walks unaided, is down to two physical therapy sessions per week from three, and graduated out of occupational therapy.
His physical therapy focuses on building strength and improving his balance. One goal is to be able to step up onto his school bus unaided, rather than going to school in a van.
Deven's favorite part of therapy is creating his own obstacle course using mats, cones, stability balls and weights. A competitive boy, he looks for volunteers to try to beat his time on the course. Usually that's his mother, Michelle, who's used to being his best opponent. "He kicks my butt on the Wii baseball," she said.
"He's amazing to me. … He works hard. He continues to make progress," Tallman said.
Deven's latest challenge is wrestling. His interest in the sport was spurred after he met Rohan Murphy, a double amputee who is a former Penn State University wrestler and now a motivational speaker.
"We want him to be able to play sports, to do anything he wants to," Tallman said. "For kids, playing is their job."
Mother takes on own fight
Having Deven live without pain is best of all, his mother said. "He doesn't remember much of everything that happened, which is great, but he wants to know what happened," Michelle said. She's honest with him, even when she gets pretty teary-eyed while telling it.
"You want your child to have the best, and this is one thing I can't change and wish I could change," she said.
That's why she's now advocating with the National Meningitis Association for a vaccination to protect against all strains of the disease.
She attended a meeting of the group on Dec. 13 in New York City, and met parents who lost their children to meningitis, as well as survivors.
So far there isn't a vaccination for the B strain in the U.S., although there is one in England and Canada, Michelle said.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends the meningitis vaccine, which is effective against four sub-types of the disease, be given at ages 11 to 12, with a booster at 16. Deven was 8 when he got the disease. Those younger can get the shot, but many insurance plans won't pay for it, she said.
Getting the shot also can prevent those who are carriers from spreading it, she said.
"There's so much that can be prevented," Michelle said.
Camp and house
Here are some other developments in Deven's life:
- In January, Deven, his mother and father are attending Camp No Limits for children with missing limbs, outside Tampa, Fla. Camp scholarships are provided by Hangers, Michelle said. It will be Deven's first flight, and he's looking forward to kayaking and seeing where the film "Dolphin Tale" was made. It features a dolphin fitted with a prosthetic tale after it was injured in a crab trap rope.
- Progress also has been made on the accessible house being built for Deven and his family on their property with the help of community volunteers. The house, which went up in early August, is under roof, with most of the electrical wiring and siding recently completed. Work has been slower than a normal construction project, since they're waiting for donations to reduce the cost. Sam Lowe of Maverick Homes, who's coordinating the house project, said they're still looking for donations of interior wood trim, paint and stone for the driveway. "We're getting close," he said.
- Contribute to the Deven Jackson Fund, Bank of Landisburg, 5125 Spring Road, Shermans Dale, PA 17090.
- Send Home Depot or Lowe's gift cards to Deven Jackson at 16 Mill Road, Shermans Dale, PA 17090.
- Choose items from the list of building supplies for Deven's home at www.maverickcustomhomes.com, call Home Depot at 717-795-9602, ext. 440, to purchase them or buy them at Home Depot in Mechanicsburg.
- To volunteer or donate, call Sam Lowe of Maverick Homes at 717-443-3780.

The Portland Timbers look like they might have one of the best defenses in Major League Soccer once again this season.
The Timbers gave up only four goals over seven games in the preseason and didn't allow a single goal from the run of play.
Other teams had trouble even finding open chances against Portland's defense and Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, the 2013 MLS goalkeeper of the year, didn't have to make many difficult saves during the preseason.
"We've had a lot of success out of the run of play," Timbers defender Jack Jewsbury said. "Obviously, one of the things we want to get better on is set pieces because we have given up some there, but we're not giving up a lot of chances and that is a positive."
The Timbers set club record in shutouts (15) and fewest goals allowed (33) in 2013 with the help of one of the stingiest back lines in MLS.
Heading into the 2014 season, Timbers coach Caleb Porter has kept Portland's back line mostly intact, with the one change of replacing center back Futty Danso with Argentine player Norberto Paparatto.
But Paparatto had quickly integrated into the lineup on the field and the Timbers are feeling very confident heading into the regular season.
"We've been pretty tough to break down," Timbers defender Michael Harrington said. "We're confident defensively. We just have to put a few more away and I think we can win a lot of games this year."

And never look back
