Volunteers in Public Schools Celebrates 35 Years!
Volusia County Schools celebrated their 35th year of the Volunteers in Public School Program (VIPS) at a morning gala on February 15. VIPS Recognition Day is the district's annual appreciation event, recognizing over 18,115 active school volunteers. During the 2011-2012 school-year these volunteers provided 814,545 service hours.
Using Independent Sector's calculation of volunteer worth, this is valued at over $15 million dollars worth of service!
The breakfast and awards program was hosted by the Volunteer/Partnership Programs Department and New Smyrna Beach High School. The event was sponsored by Space Coast Credit Union, Daytona International Speedway, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial, Wal-Mart of Port Orange and Publix Supermarket. The theme
"Volunteers Add Light to Learning"
was prevalent throughout the venue. New Smyrna Beach High School's Way Cafe prepared an outstanding breakfast. Guests were welcomed in the auditorium by the sensational New Smyrna Beach High School Jazz Band Ensemble.
The entertainment was performed by the fantastic New Smyrna Beach High School Showdolls.
The morning culminated in the announcements of the following volunteer awards: 10 year Volunteers, 20 year Volunteers, 30 year Volunteers, Golden and Silver School Awards, Five Star School Awards, Parent Involvement Award, Outstanding Youth Volunteers, Outstanding Adult Volunteers, Outstanding Senior Volunteers, Outstanding Teacher/Volunteer Teams, and recognition of community involvement coordinators.

Arizona Cardinals: Edgerrin James Released, Where to Now?
When the postseason ended for the Cards, again it was highly speculated that the team would eventually release James, but few figured it would come after the draft. So hearing this news becomes less of a shock for any football prognosticator and analyst, but where he could end up will likely be open to much debate.
There is, however, one destination I could see James finding, where a starting gig could be waiting—Kansas City. Like the Cards, the Chiefs are still holding a rather expensive commodity in their backfield and could be looking to part ways soon.
Troubled star running back Larry Johnson is at the end of his welcome rope in KC and now that James is available, that could be all the Chiefs and head coach Todd Haley need to make this move. Remember, James played for Haley in Arizona.
What makes sense here to me, the reason Johnson is not gone yet, is that before the draft the Chiefs only had L.J. sharing a backfield with a handful of undersized running backs (Charles & Savage).
Earlier this offseason, the Chiefs won a grievance against Johnson that basically opened the door to his release from the team without any cap hits. What has likely stopped the team from making this move is the lack of better options in the backfield.
Without Johnson, the teams lacks an inside runner that can handle the punishment. Smith may get a shot this offseason to earn some carries and with Williams likely a long shot to even make the team as a seventh round pick, the choices are far and few between.
James is familiar with Haley's system and can give the Chiefs the larger inside runner they will need in the red-zone and for short yardage. Charles and Savage, with their smaller sizes and quickness, would give the team a needed change of pace.
The biggest invitation to making this move today is the price tag. James, now a free agent, would likely come with a huge discount, while L.J. still commands a rather hefty salary (nearly $4 million in 2009).
These are just my thoughts, while we're talking some football, but why not?

Foundation is a makeup medium that has multiple ways of effective application. No one way is better than the other, it's all a matter of preference. To choose what's best for you, try one at a time, and see which results look best. Here are some suggestions on how to apply your foundation. Please share your favorite tools in the comment section, there are products out there that we may all need to try!
The flat foundation brush has been the go to. You can lay foundation onto and into the skin. The first one that I got was the MAC 190. This is just too bulky in my opinion. The Billy B. #2 brush($30) is more user friendly, luxury version.

Read an Excerpt
Angels, from the Realms of Glory'---possibly the best-written, sacred Christmas carol of all time---helped launch a revolution that continues to impact millions of lives today. At its heart is its writer, an Irishman born in November of 1771.
James Montgomery was born in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. Montgomery's father, John, was an Irish Moravian missionary. When his parents were called to evangelistic work in the West Indies, the child was sent to a Moravian community in Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland. By the time he was seven, James was at Fulneck Seminary, Yorkshire, England. Five years later, the parents James hardly knew died on the mission field.
Perhaps because of the distance from and the tragic loss of his parents, Montgomery never was very interested in his schooling. Flunking out of seminary, he became a baker's assistant for a short time. By the age of twenty, the young man was little more than a vagrant, moving from job to job, often unemployed, and homeless for weeks at a time.
Montgomery's only interest was writing. He spent what little money he had on pencils and paper, taking hours to com-pose poetic odes on everything from loneliness to faith. Though no publisher was interested in his work, the radical editor of the Sheffield Register saw something in the young man's raw talent. For the next two years Montgomery got paid to do what he most loved to do---write stories. He also learned firsthand about the hardships of being an Irishman under English rule. At the age of twenty-three, when the newspaper's owner was run out of town for writing radical editorials concerning Irish freedom, the missionary's son took over the Register.
In an attempt to quell the British government's wrath, Montgomery changed the paper's name to the Sheffield Iris. Yet he didn't change its editorial stance. Just as his parents had strongly rebelled against the strict rules and rituals of England's official church, James was bent on carrying on a written war for Ireland's freedom. At about that time, he also became an active leader in the abolitionist movement. His fiery editorial stance twice landed him in prison. Yet each time he was released, he returned to the Iris and continued his printed war for freedom on all fronts.
When Montgomery was not waging an editorial crusade against English rule and slavery, he was reading his Bible in an attempt to understand the power that motivated his parents' lives and ultimately led to their deaths. In time, his Scripture study and rebellious zeal would blend and send the young man on a new mission. One of the first hints of this change was revealed on Christmas Eve 1816.
Irishmen, who hated all things British, probably carefully studied the newspaper each day, hoping to find some Montgomery- penned passage that would inspire more to join their revolution. It is certain that local government officials who read the Iris often wished to nail the man who was so often a thorn in their side. Yet on December 24, 1816, readers discovered a different stance from the fiery editor. On that day, his editorial did not divide Irish from English, but rather brought everyone who read the Iris closer together.
Written in the same poetic verse that Montgomery had employed during the aimless wanderings of his youth, 'Nativity'--- what would eventually become the carol 'Angels, from the Realms of Glory'---told the story of angels proclaiming the birth of a Savior for all people, English and Irish, rich and poor, Anglican and Moravian. Eloquent, beautiful, and scripturally sound, Montgomery soon touched more lives for Christ with the stroke of his pen than his parents did in all their years of missionary work.
Still, when read between the lines, there was a bit of social commentary in 'Nativity.' A verse long-deleted from the carol speaks of a society that needs to right some wrongs. That lost stanza also reveals the writer's personal journey in finding purpose and meaning in his own life:
Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence;
Mercy calls you. Break your chain.
As Montgomery would soon find out, his poem would break chains, but not those he had envisioned. The impact of 'Nativity' would actually foreshadow the writer's future, since he would come to revolutionize music and thinking in the English church.
As often is the case with inspired work, irony stepped in and took an important role in revealing 'Nativity' to a mass audience.
Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ the newborn King.
Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant Light.
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star.
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear.

If Iowa wants to contend for the Big Ten title, it needs to deal with three of the current top 5 teams in the country. Wisconsin, meanwhile, will have to slow the Hawkeyes' potent offense - and a former teammate - to match the best start in school history.
The No. 4 Badgers welcome transfer Jarrod Uthoff back to Madison on Sunday night when they host 22nd-ranked Iowa looking to move to 15-0 for the first time in 100 years.
"You're playing the fourth-ranked team in the country, who is undefeated, on the road in a hostile environment," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.
"That will identify who we are."
The Hawkeyes (12-2, 1-0) put their Big Ten-best 87.1 scoring average on the line against a Wisconsin defense that has held opponents to 59.8 per game, which trails only league-leading and third-ranked Ohio State.
"They have a great offense," Badgers point guard Traevon Jackson told the school's official website. "They take away a lot of (defensive) help with so many curls and cuts. They make you guard one-on-one. It will be a good test. They're really a good team."
The intriguing matchups go both ways.
Wisconsin (14-0, 1-0) is second in the Big Ten with a 39.2 percent mark from 3-point range, while Iowa is holding opponents to a league-low 36.1 percent overall and 27.2 from beyond the arc.
Whether Iowa can sustain its impressive numbers on both ends of the floor against ranked teams remains to be seen. The Hawkeyes let double-digit leads slip away against the two currently ranked teams they've played: No. 11 Villanova and No. 13 Iowa State.
In addition, they went 0-7 against ranked opponents a season ago - likely the main reason they were passed over by the NCAA tournament committee.
All of those ranked opponents were Big Ten foes, though Wisconsin wasn't one of them. The Hawkeyes have won three of four against the Badgers, the lone loss coming by four points in double overtime last season at the Kohl Center.
"We've played consistently well in those games," McCaffery said. "We've run a little bit - and they're running a little more this year - and we've worked into their style of play and tried to figure out how our style of play can be effective in that environment."
The Badgers opened conference play with a convincing 76-49 win at Northwestern on Thursday. They led 40-14 at halftime and turned the ball over only four times after posting a season best with two turnovers in their previous game against Prairie View A&M.
Nigel Hayes scored a career-high 19 points off the bench to lead the Badgers, while leading scorer Sam Dekker added 15. Hayes, a 6-foot-7 freshman, is averaging 15.3 points in his last three games after scoring no more than eight in his first 11.
"One of the biggest reasons he's able to do that, besides his frame, is that he's intelligent," coach Bo Ryan said. "Very smart. Picks up things very quickly and he's so perceptive on the court."
Uthoff has also picked things up quickly in his first season in Iowa City. At 10.9 points per game, he's one of three Hawkeyes scoring in double figures. He had 11 in a 67-57 Big Ten-opening home win over Nebraska on Wednesday.
His coach doesn't expect any special attention he gets from the Kohl Center crowd to impact his game or Iowa's performance.
"They're going to yell at him, but they can't come out and defend him," McCaffery told the school's official website. "I am more concerned about how we handle their runs and how their crowd gets into the game than how they yell at Jarrod Uthoff."
The Badgers have won four straight home games against ranked opponents, while the Hawkeyes have dropped seven straight on the road versus Top 25 teams since beating then-No. 11 Wisconsin in Madison on Dec. 31, 2011.

Pitch Perfect (2012)
Release: September 28, 2012
afdah Pitch Perfect (2012)
Seeing Pitch Perfect is a witty smart, fun aspiring movie with modern music and eccentric club mash-ups of popular hit songs mixed even with some 80s movies classics. Some of the songs may relate to an emotion stirring around with the characters involving Beca and Jesse. One of the reasons to come this comedy, witty, fun, lively movie is for the acting done by a gifted cast. Light musicality and romance. Not to mention, the brains to put it all together to make it the best Friday night out movie of the year. Beca is stared by Anna Kendrick; our protagonist an inspired young woman wanting to become the next power-housed D.J. In L.A struggles, due to her father, a professor at the school she attends. It is clear to her father that she has no particular interest her father makes a deal, to make the best memories possible and then see if she still wants to leave. In the time given Beca has a bizarre run in to audition for a Capella. With her help an inspirational arrange songs Beca makes; it helps the Bella's make a come back in the national a Capella competition betting their rivals the Trebles. Jesse played by Skylar Astin , another freshmen to the college and to a Cappella, is lucky enough to get on the undefeated team of the Trebles, sworn enemies of the Bella's. on the first day he meets Beca and chemistry is sparked in between them. Rebel Wilson plays probably everyone's favorite character "Fat Amy" a girl who does not care but will live life to the fullest in her own funny ways with her amazing vocal skills. The list for this cast is incredible and you should see the movie to truly appreciate all of the work into making this movie.

"Blue Bloods" is getting some new blood, from someone familiar to fans of "Oz" and "Fringe."
Now in its fourth season, the CBS police drama has cast Kirk Acevedo as the brother of Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez) — NYPD detective Danny Reagan's (Donnie Wahlberg) partner — in the Friday, Nov. 22, episode, Zap2it has learned exclusively. His sudden reappearance is guaranteed to make things less than comfortable for his sister.
They have a strained relationship to begin with, since he's a longtime criminal. He's trying to leave that life behind, but a "wrong place, wrong time" situation keeps him there, likely putting an added strain on Maria's camaraderie with justice-devoted Danny as she struggles with professional duty vs. family loyalty.
The HBO prison drama "Oz" boosted Acevedo's fame through his portrayal of inmate Miguel Alvarez. He worked for the cable network again in the miniseries "Band of Brothers," then was in the short run of NBC's "Law & Order: Trial by Jury" before his longer stay on FOX's "Fringe" as FBI Special Agent Charlie Francis. He returned to NBC again briefly in its Americanization of "Prime Suspect."
Among the many other shows that have featured Acevedo as a guest star are "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "The Mentalist," "White Collar," "24," "Third Watch" and "NYPD Blue." He also turned up on two of the other series in the "Law & Order" franchise, the parent show and "Law & Order: SVU."
Acevedo is the latest "name" guest casting for the Tom Selleck-starring "Blue Bloods," broadcast TV's most-watched program last Friday (Oct. 18). Recent episodes have featured Emmy winner Bebe Neuwirth ("Cheers") and "CBS This Morning" co-anchor Norah O'Donnell (as herself), and Charisma Carpenter ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel") appears in an upcoming story.

Oddly, I feel like I didn't get anything done today. *sigh*
The talk went extremely well. We got a crowd of about a dozen or so, and they seemed genuinely interested in what David Mack, Ginjer Buchanan, and I had to say about the process of creating tie-ins. We did a lot of revealing of how the sausage is made, particularly when moderator Cici James asked us what our worst experiences were.
Housing Works recorded the event, so I'm hoping to have it as a Chronic Rift Roundtable episode at some point.
Today I have to finish the rewatch and get through an editorial job. Tomorrow, I've got fun social obligations, and then the weekend is to be spent doing the remaining editing that has to get off my plate so I can start writing the new tie-in project. Oh, and I'm having lunch with Laura Anne Gilman to work out a game plan for the writing workshop we're teaching next weekend. Wheeeee!

- His site
- On the Parliament site
- Wikipedia
Crucial Fact
- His favourite word was liberal.
Last in Parliament October 2015, as Conservative MP for Cariboo—Prince George (B.C.)
Won his last election, in 2011, with 56% of the vote.
Statements in the House
Member for Cariboo—Prince George June 18th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, that is what we get when we leave this place, a nice hug from the minister.
After 7 elections and 22 years, all I can say is that it has been quite a ride and an experience that not every Canadian gets a chance to do, but those who do are very fortunate indeed.
I want to thank my wife Annie for her constant companionship throughout these many years. She is amazing.
I thank my constituents of Prince George—Bulkley Valley and Cariboo—Prince George for their support and those beautiful margins they always gave me.
I want to thank Jeanne, Theresa, Soraya, and Victoria. I call them my wonder women, and they made me look good, and even better when I could not be in the riding.
I thank my colleagues in the House, my Conservative colleagues and my colleagues across the way. I have just been accused of being a tiny bit partisan, but we know how this is played.
I thank the incredible House of Commons staff and all the friends I have made.
I head to Osoyoos, B.C., where the snow never falls, the sun always shines, and the golf season is 10 months long. I thank everyone very much.
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada May 29th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Liberal Party has just announced a major plank in his platform. He said, "We're looking at an expansion and a mandatory expansion of the CPP of the type that [his friend] Kathleen Wynne put forward in Ontario".
He is promising to impose a payroll tax hike that would cost someone earning $60,000 over $1,000 out of their take-home pay.
The Liberal leader promises to raise taxes on the middle class and kill jobs. On this side of the House, we cut taxes and we create jobs.
Public Safety May 1st, 2015
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in this chamber, the opposition parties decided to filibuster the proceedings of the House. Led by the NDP member for Skeena—Bulkley Valley, the opposition parties shamefully chose to trash the RCMP Hill security members as the subject of their filibuster. They chose to criticize the RCMP and complain about being held up on their trip to the House for a mere few minutes due to the security measures deemed necessary by the RCMP to protect the precinct of the Hill.
RCMP officers have a job to do and they do it every day with the potential always that they may find their lives at risk to protect us.
I want to counter the amateur experts in the opposition and put on record my praise and appreciation of the RCMP and the job it does to protect us, and, yes, that protection also includes those opposition members who so recklessly scorned the RCMP yesterday.
Points of Order November 28th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. During the members' statement period, the member for Winnipeg Centre, like his colleague from Timmins—James Bay, displayed his contempt for how we are to behave in the House.
In his member's statement, he opened by making references to kings losing their heads, and then went on a tirade directed at the President of the Treasury Board. Following his S.O. 31, he sat down and immediately made slashing gestures across his neck to his colleagues.
That was an appalling display. Given the world that we are living in, I think the member probably regrets that and wants to make an apology.
Justice for Animals in Service Act (Quanto's Law) November 28th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I took a lot of exception to the member's use of the term "rich old white people". It was the disdain in his voice when he uttered that comment. He may not like rich people and he may not like old people, but the House of Commons is no place for him to voice his disdain for that group. Parliament represents rich people and old people. If they happen to be one and the same, maybe they worked for it. That member should be ashamed of himself for using that term in such a derogatory fashion and should apologize.
Justice for Animals in Service Act (Quanto's Law) November 28th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I have a hard time understanding the NDP sense of justice when it comes to sentencing for crimes that are committed.
The NDP seems to blame the government. In fact, it is because sentences from the judges who sit on the benches, in so many cases, do not reflect the severity of the crime. I will give a good example, and I know this one personally.
Up until the year 2000, the sentence for killing while impaired was 0 to 14 years. The sentences given were always in the one- to three-year range. That was expanded to zero to life in prison, where factors were present. The average sentence given is still one to three years. No matter how many times someone has been convicted or suspended, if they are out driving and kill someone, they are still getting the same sentences.
Something is not being addressed here.
Retirement Congratulations November 19th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, imagine the dedication needed to remain employed with one company for 39 years. Imagine how lucky that company would be to have someone who is both dedicated and success-driven for that length of time. Such is my friend George Roach, who has just retired after 39 years with the Royal Bank. George served in many divisions of the bank and is well recognized for leaving the achievement bar far higher than when he arrived.
George Roach was a born banker and a leader. He was continually recognized by the bank for his successes, greatly admired by everyone who worked for him, and trusted and respected by his clients.
May George and Margie enjoy every moment of their well-earned retirement and spend lots of time with their family and friends. May all of their shots end up on the short grass, and may they always keep a real good scotch well within reach. Enjoy my friend.
Economic Action Plan 2014 Act, No. 2 October 31st, 2014
Mr. Speaker, that was interesting at the least. It is important to understand that infrastructure generates economic activity and that is exactly why, since forming government in 2006, this government has invested more money in infrastructure spending than any other government in the history of our country. We are proud of that, and we understand the value of investing in infrastructure. That is why we are committed to investing even more.
However, we will not invest this money on the Liberal schedule, because they have shown very clearly in the past that they do not have a schedule that makes sense. We will be investing it on our schedule because it does make sense and it is going to go directly to infrastructure that is badly needed in our country. We understand that, and we are going to do it.
Forestry Industry September 30th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, the forestry sector is vitally important to the Canadian economy and particularly to my riding of Cariboo—Prince George.
Our Conservative government is focused on creating jobs and economic growth. That is why we have made unprecedented investments to renew and sustain Canada's forestry sector.
Could the Minister of Natural Resources update the House on what action we are taking to promote this important economic sector?
WestJet September 25th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I want to quote from a recently stranded Canadian:
So as Canadians, most of us already know how awesome Westjet is. But when you're in a line up of...15,000 people in 34 degree temperatures with no shelter or food and Westjet pulls you out of that line...you [have got to love them even more].... We arrived at the Cabo San Lucas airport...to a very...grave situation.... [The hurricane] hit on Sept 14 and tourists were stranded for...days...with little water and food at their resorts. The line up of people trying to fly out was miles long.... Suddenly we hear "Westjet?? Canadian? Come with [us]...".... Westjet took every Canadian, whether [they] booked...with them or not, and got us home. ...snacks and water in every seat. They gave us free food. They paid for our hotel, taxi and food in Calgary. ...Tim Hortons at the lineup...handed out...with smiles. I will never be able to say a big enough thank you [to WestJet]. What an amazing company.

Back in September, we told you about the appliance version of the Cash for Clunkers program, which offers consumers a rebate on old appliances when they are replaced with new, EnergyStar-approved models. We thought we'd check in and let you know that in much of the country, the program is still going strong.
Although 18 states and territories have already exhausted their rebate funds and closed their programs, the rest of states still have funds remaining and are distributing rebates. Some programs even just opened or are opening within the next month�Arizona opened on July 1, the District of Columbia's program is slated to open in late July, and Oregon and New Jersey added several new products to their already existing programs on July 1.
So take a look at this map and see if your state's program is still going on. Not only will you receive a rebate, you'll save money in the long run by upgrading to more energy efficient appliances.

Kentucky's Turkey Season Opens April 17th
Kentucky's 2010 spring wild turkey hunting season will open statewide Saturday, April 17, and close Sunday, May 9. The youth-only season will be April 3-4.
The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission, at its August meeting, recommended April's second Saturday as a permanent general season opener, but their proposal has not yet completed the legislative approval process.
The new license year begins March 1 and already hunters are beginning to plan hunts. Therefore, as in the past, this year's opener will fall on the Saturday closest to April 15.
The 2010 Kentucky Hunting Guide for Spring Turkey and Squirrel was posted online at fw.ky.gov Thursday, Jan. 21, and printed guides will be available at license vendors within the next few weeks. Hunters should be sure to check the guide for complete hunting regulations, including bag limits, licensing requirements and equipment guidelines.

Don't Mess With Pharmacists
You're a pharmacist, and that means you've done your time studying things that most of us can't even begin to grasp. You know all about chemistry, biology, physiology and a lot of other "ologies" that are too much for us to figure out. We don't have to know anything about it, though. You're the expert, and you're the one we trust to make sure we take our medication and take it right.
Pharmacists, you know you're the unsung heroes of the medical profession. Emergency workers get a lot of love, and doctors and nurses are treated like royalty, but you're the linchpin. Without the right pills, in the right dosage, nobody would get cured, right? And you also know the best way to take those pills or potions, like whether it should be in the morning, at bedtime, on an empty stomach or with food (that's our favorite kind).
We appreciate what you do, which is why we have a nice line of pharmacist-themed tees and hoodies that say you're justly proud of what you do. For instance, check out this one that states, "God Took the Smartest Women and Made Them Pharmacists." You know that's a fact. You work with incredibly sharp women all day long, and you all know how to handle sharps. We wouldn't mess with any of you.
Pharmacists work long hours, often on their feet, and spend hours of their day trying to decipher doctors' scribblings, checking on anything that might be dangerous with the pills you're taking, keeping track of your medications, and staying current on the research. It's a long day and it can be pretty stressful. That's why it's also true that "Real Men Marry Pharmacists."
And we haven't forgotten that some of you are men. Try this one on for size: "Pharm Boy." Yeah, that's you, delivering pills and puns in one funny top.
Is your significant other a pharmacist? Show the world what he or she means to you when you wear a tee or hoodie that says, "Sorry, This Girl is Already Taken by a Smart and Sexy Pharmacist," or "Sorry, This Guy is Already Taken by a Smart and Sexy Pharmacist."
At I Love Apparel, we want all pharmacists to be happy and feel good. That's what you do for us with your prescriptions and we're just returning the favor. Check out our pharmacist-themed tees and hoodies to find the one that's just what the doctor ordered.

Last week, seven people were arrested for burglary in New Braunfels. TWO from San Antonio were arrested for breaking into cars, and a group of three adults and two youths were arrested for stealing from houses. They were entering homes through garages, said Lt. Mike Rust, of the New Braunfels Police Department. "Things pick up during the holidays," Rust said. "It s a busy, hectic time of the year, and, while you're busy shopping, people are busy stealing." Many cars have been broken into in New Braunfels this year while home burglaries are down. Thieves want to get their hands on Christmas gifts, and people need to protect themselves with common sense, he said. People should not leave presents visible through car or house windows and should be aware of their surroundings.

From staff, wire reportsPLANO MEGACHURCHES PUT ON MEGAPRODUCTIONS — In the biblical account of the Christmas story, a heavenly host of angels appeared to shepherds tending their flock near the stable where baby Jesus lay in a manger. In Prestonwood Baptist Church's retelling, brightly lit angels with fluttering, 12-foot-long organza gowns, shiny headbands and red wigs fly over a sanctuary filled with about 6,500 spectators. The angels hang six stories up — suspended from harnesses attached to 150-foot long tracks on the sanctuary's ceiling. Fifteen operators with wired headsets control the angels' movement toward the stage, where shepherds with real sheep herald the Messiah's arrival. "After Jesus was born, the Bible v says that the angels were singing praises and giving glory to the Lord," said Amanda Lee, one of five angels in the annual Dallas Christmas Festival at the 22,000-member church. "And that's just what I think about when I'm flying out there. I'm just thinking about that night, how incredible it must have been." At Christmas, Easter and even the Fourth of July, giant, Broad-way-style productions like the one at Prestonwood have become the norm for the nation's Protestant "megachurches." N AT I O NBOSTON MAJOR MILESTONE OPENS TO TRAFFIC IN BOSTON'S BIG DIG — The hulking elevated Central Artery highway that has marred the city's landscape for more than four decades carried its last car Saturday as it was replaced — five years late and billions over budget — by a tunnel routing Interstate 93 under downtown Boston. In a simple ceremony, Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Massachusetts Tlimpike Authority chairman Matthew Amoreilo cut a ribbon to open a two-mile stretch of highway that allows traffic to soar over the Leonard R Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge and then sweep through four southbound lanes of underground Interstate 93. The first motorist to travel the new stretch of highway was Elaine Cronin, returning home to Boston after visiting a sister in Woburn. She was met on the bridge by Menino and Amoreilo and given a Big Dig baseball cap and map of the project. WORLDJERUSALEM ISRAELI, PALESTINIAN OFFICIALS PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE SUMMIT — Israeli and Palestinian officials are working to set up a meeting between their prime ministers this week aimed at renewing peace efforts, the chief Palestinian negotiator said Saturday. f Officials have been trying for several weeks to arrange a summit between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his Palestinian counterpart, Ahmed Qureia. The meeting would be the first such high-level encounter in months. Both sides have expressed a desire to meet to rejuvenate efforts to implement the U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, which envisions an immediate end to violence and the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Saturday he and other Palestinian officials planned to meet in the next two days with Dov Weisglass, the chief of Sharon's office, to prepare for the summit, the first between the two leaders since Qureia took office in October.PARIS LIBYA'S DISARMAMENT PLEDGE HAILED AS A VICTORY — British and American diplomacy won European praise Saturday for winning Libya's pledge to renounce weapons of mass destruction, and Britain looked forward to Washington lifting sanctions against the North African state it accuses of sponsoring terrorism. China, locked in its own effort to halt neighbor North Korea's nuclear weapons program, and other nations saw Libya's surprise pledge as evidence that negotiations work. Egypt urged Israel to follow suit. Europe held out the possibility of restoring diplomatic relations with Libya, while France tempered its praise by urging Tripoli to deal with another legacy of its dark past: An airliner bombing in 1989. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, through a spokesman, hailed Libya's decision as "a positive step toward the strengthening of global efforts to prevent the spread and use of those weapons." Attorney questions redistricting decision By The Associated Press An attorney representing Texas congressional Democrats in a federal redistricting trial has asked the U.S. Department of Justice to explain how it arrived at its decision to uphold a Republican redistricting plan. Attorney Gerry I lebert sent a letter to the Justice Department on Saturday saying he has heard from people within the agency that Civil Rights Division lawyers investigating the Texas map had recommended it not be allowed. But he said political appointees at the department overruled them. A Justice Department spokeswoman on Saturday declined to comment and could not confirm that the agency had received the letter. The Justice Department cleared the Republican-backed map of violating the Voting Rights Act on Friday. The federal trial in the case is continuing in Austin, and a three-judge panel is expected to rule after closing arguments Tuesday. Democrats and minority groups challenged the map in court, saying it violates the Voting Rights Act by diluting the voting strength of minorities. Republicans say the map is only intended to more accurately reflect voting trends in Texas, where the GOP holds all statewide elected offices and controls the Legislature. Democrats lead the delegation 17-15, but the new map could mean as many as seven more seats for the GOR I lebert, who worked for the agency's Civil Rights Division for more than 20 years, said in an interview Saturday that it's extremely rare for a recommendation to be rejected. "It is often a rubber stamp," he said." I would say in 80 to 90 percent of the cases the recommendation is read and by and large the recommendations made are followed." Hebert in his letter said a gag order is in place on Justice Department employees who dealt witfi the case. "I believe these restrictions were imposed to hide from public scrutiny the decision that political appointees made early on that pre-clearance would be granted to the proposed map, regardless of the recommendation from the Voting Section," he wrote. Hebert said six staff attorneys and a paralegal within the Civil Rights Division's Voting Section—none of them political appointees — worked on the case. To find that the map violated the Voting Rights Act, they had to find that the map "as a whole is going to make black and Hispanic voters worse off than they were before," he said. If minorities were at the same level or if their situation improved, the recommendation would have been to approve the map, he said. "What my information is, is that the letter that was sent (by staff attorneys) recommended an objection and that the political appointees were not persuaded by that and so went ahead and sent the letter (approving the map),'' he said. The redistricting plan was passed by the Legislature after a year of partisan fighting and three special sessions. It's been a year since we lost mom, we miss you so much.

This was a fantastic tour. I'm a large fan or The Lord of the Rings, but it would be entertaining for someone who may not be as familiar with the books or movies. We saw beautiful landscapes and learned a lot about how they filmed the movies in each location, and we had a tour of Weta Studios, where we had an exclusive look at the work that goes into making the characters' weapons, clothing, and makeup so magnificent. Plus, we had a great LOTR-inspire lunch! W even learned some fun trivia about the director and actors! This was definitely a worthwhile experience.

don't ask me why.
I'm not there
so you wont hear my crys.
I'm somewhere in the dark,
where it rains all day.
I'm somewhere else,
where all skies are gray.
There's no comfort,
and no one to love.
But there's no pain,

I'll just stay here

Supplies Nutritionally Important Fatty Acid Gamma-Linolenic Acid 500 mg of Organic Evening Primrose Oil in Each Softgel Extracted from the Highest Quality Evening Primrose Seeds Tested for Purity, Potency & Truth-In-Labeling Hexane Free Health From The Sun Frequently Asked Questions: What are essential fatty acids?Essential fatty acids are "good" fats and you generally don't get enough of them. Essential fats, or essential fatty acids (EFAs), are essential nutrients that the human body can't produce itself. The only way humans can get these nutrients is through the diet. EFAs are polyunsaturated fats, which are considered "good" fats. EFAs contribute to the healthy functioning of cell membranes and are also critical for the synthesis of eicosanoids, a family of hormone-like substances that help in cell maintenance on a minute-to-minute basis. Just like other essential vitamins and minerals, EFAs are necessary for the maintenance of good health. Research with EFA supplementation has shown promise in a number of areas including: rheumatoid arthritis, skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, high blood cholesterol, coronary heart disease, diabetic neuropathy, depression, high blood pressure, high blood triglycerides and cancer. Which fatty acids are essential?Chemically speaking, there are two fatty acids that are truly "essential." These are linoleic acid (LA) and alpha linolenic acid (ALA). The body cannot manufacture these fats itself, yet they are essential for health. A healthy body uses LA and ALA to produce other fatty acids which, in turn, produce a host of beneficial compounds. These "subsidiary" fatty acids each play specific roles in the maintenance of good health and are generally included when you talk about "essential fatty acids": gamma linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. There is one other "subsidiary fatty acid" that isn't always a good fat, but it too is necessary in small amounts: arachidonic acid. Linoleic acid (LA) LA is found in processed foods, margarine and vegetable oils. LA helps improve skin conditions. It may also be partially converted to GLA in the body (see more on GLA below). The typical North American diet includes an excess of LA, so you do not need to worry about supplementation with this fatty acid. Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) ALA is found primarily in flax oil and is also found in black currant oil and hemp oil. The positive effects of ALA have been documented in areas including: high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, immune system function, male infertility and cancer. The body also converts a portion of ALA into two other fatty acids, EPA and DHA (see below). Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is a healthy body may derive some GLA from LA (see above). The richest natural source of GLA is borage (also known as starflower) oil. GLA is also found in black currant, evening primrose and hemp oils. The body uses GLA to produce eicosanoids that are highly anti-inflammatory, dilate blood vessels and reduce blood clotting. GLA is popularly used by women suffering from PMS. However, GLA has been clinically indicated to have therapeutic benefits in many other health conditions including: rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetic neuropathy, cancer and skin diseases such as eczema skin dehydratation and psoriasis. The body definitely needs GLA and most North Americans are likely not getting enough of it. Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA and DHA) are two difficult-to-pronounce fatty acids that are responsible for the beneficial effects of fish oils. EPA produces eicosanoids that have many beneficial effects on the body. Research demonstrates that fish oils containing EPA and DHA have therapeutic benefits in areas including: high blood triglycerides, high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart beat), infant brain development, ADHD, depression and cancer. Arachidonic acid (AA) is necessary for infant brain development and small amounts are required for overall fetal development. However, it is not generally deemed a "good" fat, because, in excess, AA may have some harmful effects. AA is produced in the body from LA (see above). It is also found in meat, eggs and some fish. The body uses AA to produce a class of eicosanoids that are strongly pro-inflammatory, constrict your blood vessels and increase the possibility of blood clotting. These compounds are very useful when you accidentally cut your skin while peeling potatoes - without them you would bleed to death. But once you have an excessive amount of these eicosanoids, the blood can clot in places you don't really want it to - for example, arteries. What are "omega-3" and "omega-6" fatty acids?"Omega-3" and "omega-6" are scientific terms for two different families of EFAs - but the body needs a balance of each fatty acid regardless of the "family" it belongs to. "Omega-3" and "omega-6" are scientific names for two different categories - or "families" - of essential fatty acids. These names are derived from the chemical composition of the fatty acid molecules. "Omega-3" fatty acids include alpha linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). "Omega-6" fatty acids include gamma linolenic acid (GLA), linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA). Although the terms "omega-3" and "omega-6" may be scientifically useful, they are not particularly useful for the average person. In truth, the body needs a balance of each fatty acid, regardless of the "family" it belongs to. For this reason, it may be easier to think not in terms of "families" but simply about the importance of each essential fat - like vitamins, the body needs all of them for good health. Why are essential fatty acids good for you?Essential fatty acids are used by every cell in your body - and healthy cells make healthy people! EFAs control or modulate an amazing number of cellular processes. Essential fatty acids regulate a large number of mechanisms including increasing the fluidity of cell membranes and improving their "gate-keeping" abilities. These mechanisms help keep toxins out and bring nutrients into your cells. Essential fatty acids also influence the activation of cell genes, acting as second messengers and producing good eicosanoids. These hormone-like compounds help reduce inflammation in the body, help keep blood from clotting and help keep your blood vessels dilated. Furthermore, a diet rich in EFAs can be helpful in many diseases. If I get lots of linoleic acid in the diet, and the body converts linoleic acid to GLA, why do I need to supplement with GLA?It is true that North Americans generally consume plenty of linoleic acid in processed foods, margarine and vegetable oils. It is also true that the body should convert some linoleic acid to GLA, which, in turn, is used to produce beneficial eicosanoids. However, many people have difficulty using linoleic acid due to impairment in a critical enzyme known as delta-6-desaturase, or "D6D". Without this enzyme, the body cannot convert LA into GLA, halting the production of beneficial eicosanoids. Many factors in modern lifestyles affect the D6D enzyme. D6D function is impaired in many people partially due to the excessively high consumption of LA and partially due to other lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, vitamin deficiencies and high levels of saturated fat and trans-fatty acids in the diet. Some disease states, such as diabetes, are also associated with impaired D6D function. Arachidonic acid in the diet also affects your need for GLA supplementation. At the same time, the average North American is affected by excessive intake of arachidonic acid which, in excess, causes ill effects such as inflammation, blood clotting and blood vessel constriction. GLA does not require the potentially impaired D6D enzyme for breakdown by the body. The production of good eicosanoids from GLA will also counteract the ill effects of excess arachidonic acid. The average North American should therefore supplement the diet with a good source of GLA such as borage oil. What is "borage oil?"Borage oil is oil from the seed of the borage plant, containing up to 24% GLA. Borage, also known as starflower, is a shrubby garden herb. The borage plant has a long history of use in salads, soups and drinks. It was also grown for the sake of its flowers, which yield excellent honey. According to Mrs. M. Grieve's "Modern Herbal," first published in 1931, cooks of the 19th century preserved the flowers and candied them. Today, the plant is grown as a commercial crop and harvested for the seed, which is nature's richest source of the fatty acid GLA. Oil produced from borage seed contains between 20% and 24% GLA. What is "evening primrose oil?"Evening primrose oil is oil from the seed of the Evening Primrose plant, containing up to 10% GLA. The evening primrose is a plant commonly found in dry, open places, in fields and along roadsides. Chiefly a night bloomer, evening primrose opens so fast you can literally watch it bloom before your eyes. It has showy single flowers in pink, white or yellow and can reach 6 feet with blooms at the top. The pointed buds open at dusk, hence the name evening primrose. American Indians used evening primrose roots in tea for obesity and bowel pains, and in a pulp for piles, bruises and on muscles to give strength. Today, evening primrose crops are grown commercially in many parts of the world. The oil is found in the evening primrose seed, which contains 8-10% GLA. What is the difference between borage oil and evening primrose oil?Borage oil is much higher in potency since it contains more than twice as much GLA. Both borage and evening primrose oil contain the same active ingredient, GLA, which offers many benefits for the body. The big difference between the two is the concentration of GLA in borage is more than twice as high - while evening primrose oil typically contains between 8% and 10% GLA, borage oil contains between 20% and 24% GLA. Borage oil offers more potency per capsule, which may allow you to take fewer capsules to achieve the same benefits - you may also take the same number of capsules and experience greater benefits! For example, if you are currently taking four 1,000 mg capsules of evening primrose oil daily for rheumatoid arthritis, you may prefer to switch to borage oil and take only two 1,000 mg capsules daily - or you may switch to an equal number of borage oil capsules and potentially experience greater reduction in your symptoms. How should someone supplement their diet with EFAs to make sure they're getting enough?Daily supplementation with a combination of borage oil, flax oil and fish oil is the best way to make sure you get what you need. Your body needs EFAs just like it needs other essential vitamins and minerals. The average person does get some EFAs through diet - but not enough to meet recommended daily amounts. Daily supplementation is the best way to ensure that you get the health-protecting benefits of EFAs. For the average person, supplementation with the following EFA: For the average person, supplementation with the following EFAs is required for the maintenance of good health:GLA: 500 mg daily - this amount is found in 2 grams of borage oil.ALA: 500 to 1000 mg daily - this amount is found in 1-2 grams of flax oil.EPA/DHA: 400 mg daily for both combined - this is found in 2 grams of fish oil daily. A practical solution is to look for a blended oil product that combines a balance of these essential fats in one convenient capsule. People with specific disease conditions should follow the recommended dose for the individual fatty acids for a therapeutic effect. Regular supplementation with these good fats is an important part of a balanced diet - that's why they call them "essential" fatty acids.

The Bias of Schedules and Playoff Systems in Professional Sports
We examine the method used for seeding teams in professional sports leagues after the regular season has ended. In particular, we are interested in which teams are in the playoffs and which of these playoff teams get the home field advantage and/or a first round bye. We show that the regular season schedule is biased against good teams (since teams are separated into divisions) and that in addition to the current schedules and their inherent biases the playoff systems add more bias against good teams (since division winners are typically ranked higher than nondivision winners). The amount of bias in various cases is presented. Furthermore, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for a schedule to be completely unbiased. Using this condition we develop schedules which maximize intradivision rivalries while maintaining no bias.
