Throughout my 82 years, I rarely thought of myself as a "white American." As I witnessed the ebb and flow of race relations, my perception of blacks' complaints usually depended on the tact and diplomacy evident during delivery of their leaders' message.
Throughout my 82 years, I rarely thought of myself as a "white American." As I witnessed the ebb and flow of race relations, my perception of blacks' complaints usually depended on the tact and diplomacy evident during delivery of their leaders' message.
Dr. Martin Luther King had a superb style that encouraged nonblacks to seriously consider the merits of his message. When he claimed to have "seen the Promised Land," most Americans, honestly believed him, but the content and style of modern black leaders' complaints and delivery have been strikingly irritating. Sometimes their leaders act as harbingers of militant black racism.
Frankly, as a leader, Obama is perhaps by design obnoxious. His recent lament, referring to the recent Florida criminal trial, that's monopolized the news, "it could have been me," strongly suggests a crude "poor me" attitude.
With reference to Obama's suggestion for a conversation in America about race, Pat Buchanan instructed him that racism's "ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and, especially, interracial crimes of violence."
Based on Buchanan's stellar reputation as an accurate author, his sobering statistics force me, as a white American, to believe that "it could have been me."
Here are my hypotheses: Neither whites nor blacks are persecuted in America, as a group, while a relatively few, in both races, are persecuted. As a society, we can work to prevent persecution of individuals, but the notion that whites or blacks as a group are being persecuted — "get over it!"
Dan Billard
I said, in a letter to the editor May 16, 2012, that George Zimmerman would not be convicted of deliberately murdering Trayvon Martin because the evidence wasn't there.
I said at the time that President Obama, a trained lawyer, knew this as well. Yet he deliberately injected race into the situation in order to help his re-election campaign. He said, "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon." Well it worked. He was re-elected.
I understand what a great campaigner Obama is. He could be called the "Campaigner in Chief" rather than the "Commander in Chief." However, it would be nice if he acknowledged the great things about this country rather than being negative.
Today there are black scientists, engineers, doctors, lawyers and business owners. Take a trip to the miracle city of New York. All those races and religions. People who would be killing each other in other countries get along very well here.
This country deals with race better than many other countries, but you're not supposed to think that. The race hustlers and their friends in the media need to keep racial tension alive. For those whose job it is to elect Democrats, especially on a national level, their worst nightmare would be to wake up and find that the races get along fine and that people are tired of being exploited.
The president knows this as well, but racial harmony does not fit his agenda.
John P. DeLessio
Nature shows no pre-digest.
Down in the woods behind my home on Burlingham Road, there are four good-size trees growing in an area no larger than 5-by-5 feet.
An ash, a hickory, a maple and a birch are each striving to exist together.
They compete for the nutrients in the soil and the rain and the sunlight.
Every time I pass them, I can't help thinking about what a wonderful world this would be if all people could live in such harmony.

Education Hallway
The Education Hallway (located in the southeast corner of the museum) features rotating exhibits on a smaller scale. On view this fall is Framing Narrative: Contemporary Photography from the AMAM, which explores the elements of storytelling in works by Jeff Wall, Carrie Mae Weems, Holly Wright, Jen Davis, and Tina Barney. The exhibition views the human figure as central in the construction of narrative by both the artist who stages the image and the viewer who interprets it through visual cues such as grimace, gesture, and setting. The photographs pose a question about the viewer's role as an active image/story reader—is it participatory or voyeuristic?
This exhibition was curated by Erika Raberg (OC '09), 2011-12 AMAM Curatorial Assistant for Academic Programs.

InStyle: Does Universal Blush really work?
Time Inc. Digital Studio
Universal Blush?
THE CLAIM This bright pink cheek color is the first powder blush that adjusts to your skin tone, taking the guesswork out of picking the perfect shade.
THE EXPERT SAYS "In fact, it isn't actually self-adjusting, but the color is just translucent enough to blend in with any skin tone," says Ni'kita Wilson. "The shade is bright, but the base that's used is not titanium dioxide, so there's no chalkiness."
OUR VERDICT We tested the blush on five people (with complexions ranging from milky white to deep mocha), and amazingly, it gave a flattering, blushing-from-within glow to everyone. The color was bright enough to show up on very dark skin yet sheer enough that it didn't look clownish on pale complexions.
Stila Custom Color blush, $20; at stilacosmetics.com.
I would have never thought with my pale complexion I could wear such bright colors. Then I was sent a sample to review of the L'Occitane Pivoine Flora in Creamy Rose. The blush is the most gorgeous creamy bright rose shade and gives my cheeks the perfect color without every overpowering my skin. The pallette has a light pink shade to see as a highlighter.
Pivoine Flora Color Cream Rose
This duet of colored creams can be used according to your desires, to illuminate and warm up the face. Enriched with softening Peony extract and delicately scented, this smooth texture glides on with fingertips and blends easily.
The pure rose blush accents the cheek bones while the pearly rose can be used to highlight your look.
Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested.

Solution how to read magazines on Cowon S9
I have many pdf magazines and i tried find best way how to watch magazines on my S9. But i had trouble with reading text, it was very pixelized. There was no difference between pictures with different DPI or pixel resolutions. But i found solution:
1\ use some picture viewer which can zoom pictures exactly on 100% (i use Vision Picture Viewer which can zoom exactly on 100% with simple double tap)
2\ convert multipage pdf into jpeg pictures (with Photoshop, Universal Document Converter, etc...)
3\ resize jpeg pictures with anti-aliasing - height must be max 1000 pixels
and voilá - text is clearly readable.
I think the problem is that S9's firmware resize large pictures into own "native" resolution with poor or none antialiasing.
Here are sample pictures, try open it in your S9: picture with height over 3300 pixels (big but bad readable) and picture with height 1000 pixels (smaller but nice readable).
Try open this pictures on S9 and compare readability of both pictures.

Sofia (UK - BD RB)
Marcus wonders just how much Slater, Sutherland and Spall got paid to do this
Field Agent Robert Diggs (Christian Slater) walked away from his career in the FBI for one reason: to escape the memories of his wife's death for which he blames himself. However, when an unknown vigilante begins killing high-priority terrorists from America's Most Wanted list, the FBI and CIA request he take on the case, and with the U.S. Ambassador's (Donald Sutherland) persuasion, Diggs finally agrees.
While tracking down the killer, Diggs finds himself drawn to a sensuous belly dancer named Ursula. As Diggs' personal life heats up, his progress with the case runs cold. His frustration mounts as the killer continues to successfully assassinate the terrorists. Little does Diggs know that he is sleeping with the enemy.
And the strongest contender for the worst film of 2012 has arrived. This Eastern European production has bagged itself some stars and while Donald Sutherland, Christian Slater and Timothy Spall all deliver enough to get out unscathed by the film, there's no escaping just how bad this flick is.
Female lead Elika Portnoy(who plays three and a bit roles here by the way) isn't a great actress. I don't know whether it's a language barrier thing (it doesn't seem to be) but her performance is so clunky and frankly poor it's impossible to buy into the illusion this film is trying to create. It doesn't help that the plot is so trodden in you can see where everything is leading all of the time, or that the dialogue is so heavy handed it's painful to watch as the actors try to sell it as half way believable. This is a thriller yet nothing is thrilling. Everything just moves along and the story just doesn't engage on any level.
The movie might be terrible but this Blu-ray has a bright and beautiful digital image throughout. Colours are natural in the largely overcast locations, edges are good and sharp and detail is impressive.
Some of the neon lighting here glows off of the screen in ways that rival much higher budget projects but even with such a strong video presentation there's no escaping the low budget filmmaking on show here.
The Bulgarian music in the film sits in the rear speakers while the dialogue sits strong and central in the fronts. There's not a great deal in the way of ambience however. There are cars driving by and what not but nothing that widens the soundfield too much. The biggest highlight is the raw power of the track in a few instances. In the one explosive scene towards the end of the film, everything comes together for quite a grand moment but for the majority of the film it's just crisp clear dialogue with adequate score to back it up.
The 'Behind the Scenes' (20:14 HD) is the making of and Christian Slater's best argument about how good the film is that it's set in Sofia, the city the film is based in. The big name actors all have an air of politeness towards the project rather than a genuine like of the film and that's sort of amusing to watch but this is a pretty straight forward making of really.
Sofia was awful and the three big names here do nothing to elevate that fact. With that said, the A/V is pretty great, especially the visuals but even that silver lining is not enough to distract from the big dark cloud this movie is on the 2012 list of Blu-ray releases.

Just like the other fields' engineering vacancies in chakwal Pakistan are also one of the most demanding career fields not only in Pakistan but internationally as well. Engineering is the broader term which covers the wide range of industries and applications together with mathematics, science and information technology, therefore engineers create product and creative solutions to real-world problems. Pakistan is proud to have world best institutions of engineering programs, therefore, engineers of Pakistan being recognized all over the world. RightJobs.Pk is the Pakistan fastest growing authenticated online job platform that advertises Pakistan's top employer vacancies for engineers in Pakistan. RightJobs.Pk keep their registered users up-to-date with latest opportunities through Match Job Alters facility.
In the past, engineering could be classified into four main branches: Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, and Electrical, with sub-branches of all disciplines. Today, however, the abundance of engineering degrees possible has improved dramatically. There are now six significant branches of engineering: Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Management, and Geotechnical, and actually hundreds of various subcategories of engineering following each branch.
This worldwide innovation in engineering field has automatically greater the chances for job seekers to grab latest opportunities in various fields as per their degree specifications. Let see the list of engineering vacancies in chakwal Pakistan one by one.
Petroleum engineers specialize in creating and improving technology and methods for mining the earth's surface to extract oil and gas. They attain the means to obtain either natural gas or crude oil from the ground. In addition, petroleum engineers investigate and discover new techniques to extract oil and gas from older wells and new resources. Petroleum Engineer usually works with the geologist to make a plan and supervise the drilling process of choosing a drill site. The core function is to make sure about the maximum profitable recovery. This job title includes Petroleum Engineers, Oil Production Engineers, Energy Gas Storage Reservoir Engineers, Area Supervisors, Reservoir Engineers, Geotechnical Engineers, Mining Engineers, Metallurgical Engineer and nuclear Engineers etc.
Mechanical engineers study about the motion, energy and force. The mechanical engineer endeavors to control these elements by using a combination of material, human and economic resources to develop mechanical solutions that help satisfy the requirements and desires of society. Mechanical engineers most common functions are Product Design, Research & Development, Manufacturing, System Management and Energy Planning. In fields like biotechnology, materials science, and nanotechnology are demanded to create job opportunities for mechanical engineers. Especially medical biotechnology is becoming more attractive for mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineers vacancies usually include Mechanical Lead Engineer, Mechanical Sub Engineer, Mechanical Planning Engineer, Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, Mechanical Design Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Program Manager- Manufacturing, Supervisors, Area Service Manager and much more.
Civil engineers specialize in the road, bridge, buildings and the water supply system design and construction. They supervise & direct construction teams and work with other engineers. These professionals ensure that the structure built is environmentally conformable and can withstand earthquakes and hurricanes. This is especially true in places where these natural calamities often strike. Most of the job opportunities in this field are usually named as Civil Engineers, Construction Manager, Site Supervisors, Civil Sub Engineers, Architect Civil Engineer, Associate Civil Engineers, Project Manager, Site Engineers, AutoCAD Engineers and Quantity Surveyor etc.
Electrical engineers specialize in the power supply and generation. They design, develop, test and supervise electrical equipment manufacturing. They have also been trained to work constraints like the wiring and lighting installations in buildings, automobiles, and aircraft. Many varieties of electronic gadgets from portable music players to GPS devices move through an electronic engineer's hand. In Pakistan there comes a good number of engineering vacancies in this field like Electrical Engineers, Associate Electrical Engineers, Electronics Engineers, Mechatronics Engineers, Micro-Electronic Engineers, Project Manager and much more.
Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences (physics and chemistry), life sciences (microbiology and biochemistry), synchronically with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials, and energy. Chemical Engineering is the practical application of chemistry. A chemical engineer produces new products, including Cosmetics, foods, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and cleaners from raw chemicals. These posts include Chemical Engineers, Piping Engineers, Equipment Engineers, Execution Engineers, Test Pack Engineers, Distribute Control System Engineers, HSE Engineers, and QA/QC Chemical Engineers.
Aerospace engineering field usually covers the study of the design, development, and production of air and spacecraft. This engineering discipline is often divided between those who pursue careers on the aeronautical side and thus wants to work on spacecraft. Both air and space vehicles hold complex subsystems that need specialists from many other engineering groups such as electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering. This engineering discipline usually includes Aerospace Engineer, Mechanical System Engineers, Senior Aerospace Engineers, Aero-Sustaining Engineers, Ground Test Engineers, Propulsion Production Manager, Guidance Navigation & Control Engineers, Flight Test Engineers, Missile System Analysts and Associate Flights Handling & Control Engineers.
Biomedical engineering (BME) is the relevance of engineering principles and plan concepts of medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e.g. diagnostic or therapeutic). Bioengineers operate with doctors, therapists, and researchers to strengthen systems, equipment, and devices in order to resolve clinical problems. They are the professionals behind sophisticated medical tools like MRIs and microscopic surgical machines. The career opportunities of this disciplined are usually named as, Biomedical Engineers, Senior Biomedical Engineer, Biomedical Service Engineers, Bio-Medical Technicians, Biomedical Equipment Specialist, Biomedical Service Support Engineer, Software Quality Assurance Engineer (Biomedical), Biomedical signal Processing Engineers, Biomedical Engineer (Site Coordinator) and Biomedical Consultants.
Agricultural engineering is also known as Biological Engineering, and it covers subjects from Agriculture (hovering food sources that flourish in water), Soil Science (crop nutrient and fertilization, etc.), Environmental Sciences (drainage and irrigation), Plant Biology (seeding and plant growth management), Animal Science (farmhouse animals and housing) Land Farming and Forestry as well. These engineers also produce biofuels, plan animal environments, and find better food processing methods. Often they work in offices, but they are also outdoors and traveling to work sites where they oversee equipment to function in agricultural settings and assure that government regulations are met. Agriculture engineering positions are usually advertised as, Agriculture Engineer, Agriculture Associate Engineers, Agriculture Site Engineers, Research Specialist, Animal Care Helper, Animal Care Supervisors, Animal Surgeon, veterinary Doctors, Environmental Engineers, Laboratory Technicians and much more.
RIghtJobs.Pk is proud to keep track of all types of Engineering and other career opportunities in chakwal Pakistan. So the engineers of Pakistan get employed and rise their living standards and overcome the financial pressure on their families.

During the regular session California State University, Long Beach is as large as a small city. More than 33,000 students, nearly 2,000 faculty and 1,600 professional staff members study and work on campus each week.
In order to operate, the campus has been organized into eight colleges and many academic departments and programs.
The elemental unit of academic organization at this University is the department. Departments are most often coincident with a discipline and usually share the same name. Faculty are members of departments. Thus the Department of Biological Sciences has many "programs," including degrees in Biology and Microbiology, a minor in Biology, and a certificate in Biomedical Art. This Catalog also has information on academic areas, like Gerontology, which are not part of any one department. Some of these areas are called "Studies," e.g., Women's Studies, Medieval and Renaissance Studies. This means that the field is essentially an interdisciplinary one and is the product of the activities of faculty from many departments.
Normally these departments and sub‑divisions have committees to discuss curriculum and other matters. Since departments and programs are constituent parts of the colleges, they also send members to college‑level committees and councils. These bodies serve to develop, refine, and review curriculum. At the University level faculty members from all of the colleges are elected to several councils and to the Academic Senate. These bodies concern themselves with campus‑wide issues. Many of these councils, their subcommittees, and the Academic Senate have also provided for staff, student, and administration membership.
For students who have just begun their life in the University, some of the departments will be unknown territory. Other departments and programs will turn out to be considerably different from first expectations or previous experiences with high school subjects of the same or similar names. For students who have begun to focus their academic interests, exploration of the departments and programs of a college beyond the favorite first contact area will often prove to be a valuable part of the process of choosing an academic major.

The Death of Officer George Crawford
"Moonshine kills," or so they used to say. Prohibitionists believed that it was a spirit brewed by the Devil himself. Poisoned swigs often killed their consumers. In the spring of 1921, the Devil's brew led to the deaths of three people, two of the men made it, and one of tried to stop them and wipe away the demon rum from the face of the Earth, or at least from Laurens County.
George Crawford was a law man. He was a son of a lawman. His daddy, a county sheriff, was slain while attempting to apprehend a prisoner. Before this day, May 21, 1921, was over, George too would take his last breath in the performance of his duty.
Folks in Laurens County who obeyed the law and what the Bible told them so had no taste for moonshine or any other spiritous liquors. Whiskey making was illegal in Laurens County and in the entire country under the eighteenth amendment to the United States Constitution.
Laurens County's commissioners hired their own policeman to enforce the state law against moonshining. Sometimes these officers conducted raids in conjunction with state and federal officers. This time, county policeman George Crawford and his deputy, E.M. Osborn, set off to look for a still, which they believed was operated by one Math Holsey or his daddy, ol' man Green Holsey, way down in the lower extremities of Burch's District.
When the officers approached the back door of the Holsey's shanty of a house, they were greeted by the old man's wife and daughter. Crawford told the old woman that they were there to raid the place. Mrs. Holsey reached for a cow hide-bottomed chair, picked it up, and tried to smash it across the soft side of Crawford's skull.
Crawford and Osborn knocked the woman to the ground and ran down the hall, which extended the entire length of the dog trot shack up to the front door.
Ol' man Holsey burst into the breeze way brandishing a shotgun. Crawford instinctively wrestled hm to the ground and took his gun. Osborn, out of the corner of his best eye, noticed the senior Holsey reaching behind a crookedly hung picture frame and pull out an object. At first, he did know exactly what the old man had in his hand. He was about to found out soon, and frighteningly soon.
Crawford and Holsey fiercely fought for control of the weapon. Deputy Osborn ran around to the other side of the scrum and beckoned to George, "What's he got George?" Crawford screamed out, "He's got a gun!"
Osborn then turned and noticed Math Holsey, the old man's son, standing in the middle of the dim hallway. Just as the officer noticed the younger Holsey, the miscreant bootlegger raised his rifle and fired a single and instantly fatal round into the body of policeman Crawford, who loosened his grip on his opponent and fell backward to the floor.
Green Holsey righted himself and took his aim at Osborn, who was standing some two or three feet away. The deputy quickly turned and shot point blank first, just as he was trained to do, instantly killing the old man, who was by then six feet away. Math winced and started toward the front door. As Holsey ran, the deputy fired two more shots, both of which he believed to be fatal. It was determined later that two of the deputy's bullets had lodged in Holsey's hip and calf. Osborn quickly returned to his comrade to render aid. "George was still breathing, but he never spoke and he died in two or three minutes," Osborn recalled.
Deputy Osborn sprinted across the field to find deputies Art Sapp and John Renfroe, who were raiding yet another still. The three law enforcement officers returned to the house and the yard to look for any signs of Math Holsey or drops of his blood trailing toward the woods. Math Holsey had vanished. Only a pool of blood confirmed Osborn's belief that his shots had indeed been mortal.
The officers found a phone at a nearby house and sent out a distress call and a summons for a posse. They placed a similar call to the sheriff in Alamo, some ten air line miles closer than the courthouse in Dublin.
Tracking bloodhounds searched the piney woods and oaky swamps in hopes of finding the fleeing felon. Not a hint of Holsey's location was found until the posse appeared at home of Holsey's brother. There, some two miles away from Math's house, the searchers found still another pool of Matt's rapidly diminishing blood supply. A little girl confirmed that a bleeding man had been in the house and that he had fled into the nearby brush. The dogs were put back on the trail and found Holsey in short order.
While the dogs held the fugitive at bay, Deputy Sheriff Singleton apprehended Holsey, urging him to surrender. And, it appeared that he did give himself up. Singleton promised Math that he would not hurt him. Math sat down in apparent submission. All of a sudden, Math drew his rifle and began firing at Singleton.
Instantly a massive volley of rifle and shotgun fire of the posse struck Math. In the ensuing few minutes, Holsey's already dead body was so badly riddled with bullets that it was difficult to move him in one piece. Math Holsey's shattered and broken corpse was returned to the scene of the crime, where it was unceremoniously dumped beside the decaying cadaver of his death father, just where he had fallen earlier in the day.
Crawford, described as a fearless officer, had been a Laurens County policeman for two years. This acclamation was attested to by the fact that during the entire clash with Green Holsey that he did not draw his gun, not once. When the morticians were preparing his body for the funeral, they found Crawford's leather billy still secured in his pocket.
George Crawford was known to have been a policeman who fervently sought out makers of illegal moonshine. It cost him his life and the eternal misery of his widow, his eight children and a host of friends. But, no murder of a law enforcement officer would stop the fight to end crimes, whenever and wherever they occur. The county commissioners recognized the magnitude of the moonshine problem. So, they appointed not one, but two, officers to carry on the battle. Within two weeks of George Crawford's tragic death in the performance of his duty, Judson L. Jackson and J.K. Rowland stepped in and picked up the torch of justice to carry on the fight the rid the county of the evil demon rum.

Toronto FC earns rare victory
MONTREAL -- Gilberto and Luke Moore scored to help Toronto FC beat the Montreal Impact 2-0 on Saturday for their first victory in five MLS games.
Gilberto scored in the 11th minute for Toronto (8-7-5) when his shot from inside the 18-yard box rang off the crossbar and landed a foot across the line.
Moore made it 2-0 in the 54th minute, beating goalkeeper Troy Perkins to a loose ball in front of the net for an easy tap-in. U.S. international Michael Bradley got the play going when his stunning through ball from deep in his own half found a streaking Dominic Oduro. Impact defender Krzysztof Krol blocked Oduro's shot, but the ball fell right into Moore's path.
Montreal (3-13-5) has lost a franchise-record six games in a row.
Toronto striker Jermain Defoe missed the game because of a possible sports.

Municipal officials who attended a meeting with PennDOT on Thursday were told the Marshalls Creek Bypass will not be abandoned.
Municipal officials who attended a meeting with PennDOT on Thursday were told the Marshalls Creek Bypass will not be abandoned.
"But we'll see," Middle Smithfield Board of Supervisors Chairman Scott Schaller said, adding, "I would not bet the house on it."
Municipal officials from Smithfield, Middle Smithfield and Lehman townships met late Thursday afternoon at the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation offices in Tannersville with representatives from Gov. Ed Rendell's office, PennDOT and various other county- and state-elected officials. According to reports from some of those present, they had a 90-minute roundtable discussion about alternatives to an already partially built project halted by soaring cost overruns.
Phase I was completed last year. Updated figures estimate the 3.5-mile project to reach $200 million.
Chiefs of staffs of state Rep. John Siptroth, D-189, and Sens. Lisa Boscola, D-18, and Lisa Baker, R-20, attended the meeting along with Bob Gress, Monroe County's chief clerk and administrator.
PennDOT and federal officials also toured the area Thursday.
"They told us they were informed by the governor to expedite this (project) as soon as possible," Schaller said. "They said it is a top priority but they can't spend $100 million on a road when there are numerous bridges collapsing so they have to go back to the drawing board for a low-scale and less-expensive approach."
"They established the fact that they are not going to abandon the project but to look at it in a different way, more short term than long term," said Smithfield Board of Supervisors Chairman Brian Barrett. "They said they are not walking away from it but expect to retool the plan."
Municipal officials said they would be updated "on a monthly basis" on the status of the project.
"They heard what we had to say and understood and made a commitment to a new design phase by the end of this year, but we'll see," Schaller said. "I am not a big fan of PennDOT and I'm very frustrated. Even the discussion they're talking about now is three to four years out of any major construction completion. This has been around forever. I would not bet the house on it as well."
Lehman Township Board of Supervisors Chairman John Sivick, who has been in regular touch with PennDOT regarding the Highway 2001 project running through his municipality and the badly rutted stretch near Bushkill Falls Road that was recently repaired, agreed.
"I'm a little disappointed. They didn't tell us anything new. There were no specifics," Sivick said. He is calling for an open-to-the-public meeting at Middle Smithfield's Schoonover Municipal Building to discuss a revised plan. "I would only hope this is not a final decision and that the public would have an opportunity to comment and get involved with the decision-making process based on the money they (PennDOT) put in traffic studies and in the economic outlook."
Part of the letter Sivick has distributed calling for another meeting says, "It is our understanding that PennDOT officials have met with local business owners behind closed doors to discuss the project. The supervisors of these three townships represent approximately 30,000-plus residents who need to be heard."
Smithfield Supervisor Vincent Della Fave said he "strongly supports" the proposed meeting. "We'll work very hard for this," Della Fave said.
"Any public meeting, I would be in favor of it," said Barrett, who said he awaits notification of the proposed meeting.
Gress could not be reached for comment on the Thursday meeting.
Schaller said PennDOT has explained to local officials the need to redirect funding across the state into repairing deteriorating bridges, an explanation that took on new weight this week when a 1921 stone bridge in Tobyhanna collapsed.

Borger PD: Beware the danger of Fentanyl abuse
The Borger Police Department is wanting to make local citizens aware of the adverse side effects of a prescription pain patch that has resulted in the death of a local citizen.Lt. Anthony Griffin said that earlier this month, the department responded to the death of a 29-year-old male, who appeared to have been abusing the pain patch Fentanyl."It appeared as though the man had been smoking portions of the medicated pain patch at the time of his death," he said. "The man was found deceased in his home by a family member."After initial investigation into the death, evidence was present that the man, who was not identified, had been abusing the prescription patch at the time of his death.Lt. Griffin said he wants the public to be aware of just how dangerous a drug Fentanyl can be if used for the wrong reasons. The drug is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine. The patch is used in chronic pain management. It works by releasing fentanyl into body fats, which then slowly releases the drug into the bloodstream over 48 to 72 hours, allowing for long-lasting relief from pain. The use of fentanyl has caused death. Because the effects of the drug last for only a very short time, regular users can become addicted quickly. The drug is also known for being hundreds of times more potent than street heroin, and can produce much worse respiratory depression, making it more dangerous than heroin to users.Fentanyl is normally sold on the black market in the form of transdermal fentanyl patches such as Duragesic, diverted from legitimate medical supplies. Non-medical use of fentanyl by individuals without opiate tolerance can be dangerous and has resulted in death. Even those with a tolerance for opiates are at high risk for overdoses. Once the drug is in the user's system, it is very difficult to stop its course because of the nature in which it is absorbed into the body.For more information, call the Borger Police Department at 273-0900.

July 2007 New Food Rollout
This month's new product rollout features inulin-added cottage cheese from Kraft; new Chinese meals to go from General Mills; Dasani Plus from Coca-Cola; Del Monte's new energy drink Bloom; slow-melting Popsicles; and new Kettle Tortilla Chips.
Adding inulin to cottage cheese
Glenview, Ill.-based Kraft Foods is on a new product rollout of vast proportions. Expanding its Healthy Living initiative are Breakstone's LiveActive (pronounced liv-ak-tiv) Cottage Cheese for Digestive Health and Knudsen LiveActive Cottage Cheese for Digestive Health, both with prebiotic fiber.
Prebiotics are often non-digestible fibers that serve as a food source for good bacteria (called probiotics) in the gut. The balance of good bacteria in the gut may help keep the digestive tract running smoothly and may help support the body's natural defenses.
Although consuming prebiotics may be a new concept for many Americans -- 78 percent declare they are unfamiliar with the term -- these fibers are important to helping ward off bad bacteria and infections. The prebiotic fiber in this cottage cheese is inulin, a natural substance derived from sources like chicory root. What's more, LiveActive Cottage Cheese provides more dietary fiber (a low-fat 4 oz. serving contains 3g) and none of the added sugar found in yogurt.
"Maintaining a healthy digestive system is essential to a person's health and well-being," says Jason Hecker, brand manager for cottage cheese. "Kraft is dedicated to meeting the growing demand for nutritional benefits in food products, and LiveActive Cottage Cheese is just one example of how we are working to provide healthier options for our consumers."
LiveActive Cottage Cheese is the first of several digestive health products Kraft launches this year. Available now are Kraft LiveActive Cheese Sticks and Cheese Cubes with probiotics. And coming in September is Breakstone's and Knudsen Live Active Cottage Cheese with pieces of real fruit.
Suggested retail price for four 4-oz cups is $2.59.
Chinese dinners at home
With Chinese cuisine being the most widely eaten restaurant food in the U.S., Minneapolis-based General Mills rolls out Wanchai Ferry, its first Chinese Dinner Kits.
The kits also build on the international brand presence of Wanchai Ferry, a frozen dumpling business in Hong Kong founded in 1985 by Madame Kin Wo Chong, "The Queen of Dumplings." Research teams in China, Europe and the U.S. took three years to develop the kits.
Packaged in bright red Chinese take-out containers, the kits enable consumers to make authentic Chinese cuisine at home. Simply add the cooking oil and fresh chicken for each kit, which contains jasmine rice, sauce (in vacuum-sealed pouches), seasonings and a specialty ingredient, and in less than 30 minutes, you have a meal for a family of six. Varieties include: Sweet and Sour Chicken, Spicy Garlic Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken and Cashew Chicken.
Suggested retail price is $4.79.
Coca-Cola gives Dasani a Plus
According to ACNielsen, vitamin-enhanced water is the growth leader in the water category -- larger than the flavored and sparkling water categories combined. Atlanta-based Coca-Cola North America> launches a line of Dasani Plus vitamin-enhanced flavored water beverages for health-conscious consumers.
Packaged in distinctive 20-oz. single serve PET bottles with a clear shrink-wrap label, the zero-calorie line is available in three varieties: Refresh + Revive (kiwi strawberry flavor with 10 percent of the RDI per serving of vitamins B3, B6 and B12), Cleanse + Restore (pomegranate blackberry flavor with 10 percent of the RDI per serving of vitamins E, B3, B6 and B12, plus 1g of fiber) and Defend + Protect (orange tangerine flavor with 10 percent of the RDI per serving of vitamin E and zinc).
"The time was right to build on the success of the Dasani brand and its great taste promise and to create the fresh-tasting enhanced water Dasani Plus," says Gloria Garrett, Coca-Cola North America vice president-hydration. "For consumers already seeking the added health benefits that vitamins and minerals provide, a nutrient-enhanced Dasani water with zero calories is a Plus."
Price is competitive within the enhanced water category.
Del Monte debuts energy drinks
According to Beverage Marketing Corp., the energy drink category has grown 60 percent from 2005 to 2006 to about $2.6 billion. Now there is a new kid on the block. San Francisco-based Del Monte Foods launches Bloom Energy, its first energy drink, and one formulated especially for women.
Drinking one can is a convenient way to get a full serving of fruit, 100 percent of vitamin C and five B vitamins. It is a good source of calcium and vitamin D and is naturally caffeinated (about 75mg) with antioxidant-rich white tea extract, providing a gentle boost of energy.
At only 100 calories per 10.5 oz. can, it is available in three flavors: Wild Berry, Cran Raspberry and Mango Passionfruit.
"Our goal is to provide women with a delicious alternative to the average caffeinated drink, while offering essential ingredients that will energize, refresh and enable them to feel good about what they are drinking," says Barry Shepard, senior vice president, marketing and innovation.

Dairy Processors Explore New Packaging Concepts
Lessons can be learned from dairy processors that are designing packages to attract kids, boost brands and deliver convenience.
Dairy packaging used to mean one of two things: a gable-top carton or a plastic jug. That's changing, radically, as processors' emphases on the youth market, branding and convenience drive packaging in new directions.
Society's increased focus on fighting childhood obesity is creating ample opportunity for healthy, dairy-based beverages. Packaging for those new products is coming into play as a key marketing tool to attract children and teens.
Shamrock Farms (www.shamrockfarms.net), Phoenix, Ariz., specifically targeted tweens and teens when it launched its popular Shamrockers flavored, low-fat milk earlier this year. "We believe milk is an excellent choice for kids of all ages, and especially teens. Nine out of 10 teenage girls and seven out of 10 boys do not get enough calcium in their diets," says Sandy Kelly, Shamrock Farms' director of marketing.
"That's a target group that [provides] a lot of opportunity for explaining the benefits of milk, but it's also a group that has a lot of beverage choices," she adds. "We wanted to provide a product that would appeal to them on all fronts," including taste, nutrition and packaging. The Shamrockers packaging "speaks to them. They know it is for them," she concludes.
The package is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle with a recloseable, screw-on cap and full shrink-sleeve label, which provides the maximum brand billboard. Osio International Inc. (www.osiopack.com), Anaheim, Calif., supplies the shrink-sleeve labels.
The shrink sleeve's bright, graffiti-inspired graphics incorporate Shamrock Farms' spokescow, Roxie, wearing a beanie or sunglasses and holding an Apple iPod, skateboard or chocolate syrup bottle guitar. "It's very high-impact. There's a great impulse factor with that package. It just jumps off the shelf," Kelly says.
The 12-oz. Shamrockers currently are distributed nationally through the vending channel and in Arizona via the retail channel. The company is launching the product in an 8-oz. bottle, as well, and is considering a half-gallon size for retail distribution.
In the yogurt category, Breyers YoCrunch (www.yocrunch.com), Naugatuck, Conn., is using a seasonal packaging strategy to appeal to children. This autumn, the company created a Halloween-themed line extension.
These candy-topped flavors are packaged in 6-oz. polypropylene yogurt cups printed with orange, black and yellow Halloween imagery. The transparent dome closure holds Butterfinger, M&Ms, Nestlé Crunch or Reese's Pieces mix-ins.
Seasonal packaging, a standard tool in many food categories, is not typically used for yogurt. But now "we're bringing it to the yogurt shelf," says Shannon Daily, YoCrunch brand manager at Breyers Yogurt Co. "We've created five SKUs wearing Halloween
This holiday season, the company also will launch its first Christmas-themed YoCrunch cup, topped with M&Ms candies. Plastipak Packaging Inc. (www.plastipak.com), Plymouth, Mich., supplies all of YoCrunch's cups.
Overseas, Nestlé UK is targeting kids with its Munch Bunch Squashums strawberry yogurt. Each single-serving Squashums package is shaped like an oversize strawberry. The stretch blow-molded containers are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
The thin-walled "strawberries," which kids squeeze to dispense the product, are multipacked in a net bag; each bag holds six containers. Alcan Packaging (www.alcanpackaging.com), Paris, supplies the berry-shaped packages.
Differentiating the brand
Dairy food processors are using innovative packaging to appeal to adults, too, leveraging package structure and graphics for brand impact in the freezer or cooler.
When Wells' Dairy Inc. (www.bluebunny.com), Le Mars, Iowa, recently redesigned the packaging for its Blue Bunny premium ice cream to enhance consumers' experience of the product, brand differentiation was an accompanying reward.
Consumer research told Wells' Dairy that consumers wanted a package that provided a fresher and safer premium ice cream experience. In addition, they wanted a package that was cleaner, easier to use and fit more conveniently in their freezers.
To meet those needs, the dairy came up with an oval plastic container made from high-impact polypropylene copolymer resin. The package features a resealable lid with a Fresh Lock tab to enhance the product's safety and ensure that the ice cream stays fresh longer.
The shape of the container makes it easier to grip than a standard ice cream carton, and the package's wide opening allows for cleaner scooping. In addition, the new Blue Bunny containers fit into consumers' freezers better than traditional cartons.
The Blue Bunny package graphics are rich and colorful, underscoring the product's premium positioning, and flavors are color coded for ease of selection. Each container holds 56 oz. of ice cream.
As for branding, "The plastic, elliptical containers with exciting graphics immediately differentiate the Blue Bunny brand at point of purchase, since they are typically surrounded by traditional paperboard cartons," says Adam Baumgartner, senior marketing manager-retail brand development at Wells' Dairy.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—In an effort to assist Florida's distressed homeowners and to maintain the improvement in the housing market, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Attorney General Jepsen of Connecticut, sponsored a letter, along with 41 other attorneys general from around the country, to urge Congress to extend soon-to-be expired tax relief for distressed homeowners into next year.
"In Florida, we are doing everything we can to assist distressed homeowners. Those who have benefited from certain relief, such as principal reduction and forgiveness, under the National Mortgage Settlement may face significant setbacks, including default and even foreclosure, if the current tax exemption on this relief is not extended," stated Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Under the federal Mortgage Debt Relief Act, in effect since 2007, mortgage debt that is forgiven after a foreclosure or short sale or through a loan modification provided to a homeowner in financial hardship may be excluded from a taxpayer's calculation of taxable income. This exclusion only applies to mortgage debt forgiven on primary residences, not second homes.
The expiration comes at a time when the housing market, while still fragile, has shown signs of gradual improvement over the last year. Data shows that home prices have increased this year, and the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index reported gains of 12 percent or more. CoreLogic has also estimated that 2.5 million more families have had their homes returned to positive equity in the second quarter of 2013.
An extension for 2014 is included in the Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief Act (S. 1187 and H.R. 2788), both of which are in committee; it is uncertain when these critical bills may be considered. The current Ryan-Murray budget proposal does not include the exemption provision.
Last year, Attorney General Pam Bondi joined 41 other attorneys general in successfully persuading Congress to extend these benefits into 2013.

The North Carolina Route 89 curve improvement project near North Carolina 18 between Low Gap and the Virginia state line is underway.
The road will be reduced to one lane for most of the project, so motorists should be prepared for some delays depending on the traffic volume.
Traffic will be maintained with the use of flaggers and a pilot vehicle that will lead motorists through the work zone between the flagging stations, the North Carolina Department of Transportation said. Temporary traffic signals may be used at a later date if needed.

SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) -- Aksel Lund Svindal has been nearly unbeatable in super-G this season. But if anyone is capable of topping the Norwegian in the opening race at the world championships Wednesday, it could be a member of the standout Italian speed team.
Italy's Christof Innerhofer is the defending champion in the event and won the super-G here at last season's World Cup finals, while teammate Matteo Marsaglia has been the only man to beat Svindal in a super-G this season with his first career win in Beaver Creek, Colo.
Other Italian threats include Werner Hell, who finished third in the super-G at Val Gardena, Italy, in December; and Peter Fill, who took silver in super-G at the 2009 worlds in Val d'Isere, France.
American Ted Ligety has two fourths in the discipline this season. The Schladming course is steep and twisting, favoring technical specialists like Ligety.
"It always depends on the set," U.S. head coach Sasha Rearick said. "A super-G on a hill like this is fantastic because you can really vary a lot. It's the Norwegians choice. I think they are going to set more on the technical side because it fits their skiers."
Dominik Paris, the Italian who won two downhills this season - including the season highlight in Kitzbuehel - will skip the super-G to rest up for the downhill Saturday.
After his super-G win two years ago at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, Innerhofer went on to add a silver and bronze in other events. After back problems slowed him last season, "Winnerhofer" showed he's back in form by winning two downhills this season.
"The pressure isn't something negative for me. Actually, it pleases me, it means I've done a good job to this point," Innerhofer said. "But here in Austria, I'm starting over from zero. The medals I won have been set aside and the past doesn't count anymore.
"I've had a great season and I'm in form. I've just got to go for it and not be afraid of anything. The Schladming course suits my type of skiing."
Still, it's Svindal's race to lose. He's won three of the four super-Gs this season and finished second to Marsaglia in the other. He's also the Olympic super-G champion.
Overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher isn't entered, preferring to focus on the giant slalom and slalom instead. French technical specialist Alexis Pinturault, who finished second at finals, is entered.

Unbeknowst to us, and before the movie Hunger Games was released, we introduced the kids and grandkids to archery this summer. My husband is a long time archer and he usually practices in the backyard. When the grandkids come to visit, some of them have asked to shoot the bow. Then, during Christmas vacation, we got a kids's bow that is easier for them to handle. Both the girls and the boys loved shooting, even the five year old.
Now that the movie has surfaced, there appears to be extreme interest in the sport of archery. Ever since the movie trailers for Hunger Games started showing up, introducing the film's arrow-slinging heroine, Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence), more young women have started showing up at archery ranges than ever before. Apparently there is even a 20 % increase of sales for archery equipment. Although I haven't seen the movie, I understand that the heroine makes shooting a bow look quite awesome. However, I've heard that, in the movie, Katniss is involved in death matches with other teenagers. Here's where parents need to step in and use this as a teaching time, explaining the real purpose of the sport.
Since archery is one of the summer Olympic games, I would guess that the sport will thrive for some time now. Did you know that Khatuna Lorig, Olympic archer, trained Lawrence for her role in Hunger Games? With good instruction, both girls and boys can learn to be good archers. Archery is a wonderful sport that requires good concentration, a good eye and a steady hand.

The annual Christmas Day meal provides a warm escape from the hardships life has thrown at many.
Martin Osteen had been outside since 5 a.m. Sunday helping to cook brisket, turkey and ham for the annual Bounty of Bethlehem, but it was joy rather than fatigue that consumed the first-time volunteer when the doors of Immaculata Catholic School opened at 1 p.m.
By that time, volunteers had already begun their routes across Henderson County, delivering more than 1,400 to-go meals so that those who were unable to attend the actual event — because of age, physical disability or lack of transportation — still had the opportunity to enjoy a hearty Christmas Day meal.
"Now that's a reason to do this," Osteen said with a big smile, "isn't it?"
He decided to get involved this year to help out his friend, Ron Dellinger, who once again used his mobile cooker — the "charity cooker," Osteen calls it, for the event.
"It's just one of those good things I feel like I need to do because it helps the community," said Dellinger, who donates the cooker, and his time, for other community events. "It's a blessing to do it."
He's certainly not alone. About 600 volunteers — young and old — and a year's worth of planning, fundraising and old-fashioned labor make the Bounty of Bethlehem possible, and this year was no different.
"Bounty of Bethlehem is driven by community spirit," event Chairman Randy Hair said.
A hot, filling meal, live music, a visit from Santa, toys for kids, free clothes ... and lots of smiling faces. It's all what makes the Bounty such a special event, and for many provides a warm escape from the hardships life has thrown at them, if only for a day.
"They may or may not know the person who's serving them or sitting right across from them," Hair said, "but hopefully by the end of the dinner they do, and that's the biggest part of what we're trying to do is build community and make connections with people."
To actually pull it off, though, all hands are needed on deck.
Take Angi Padilla, for example. Padilla, her six children and some of their friends spent four full days in two- and four-hour shifts gift-wrapping the 400-plus toys, working until 1:30 a.m. Sunday before heading back to the church four and a half hours later.
Thanks to another volunteer, Joe Wroble, this year the school gymnasium included a special platform, separate from the music stage, for Santa Claus and all his gifts. Wroble spent two and a half hours one day last week constructing the stage, which can be taken apart by screws and used again next year.
Hair said there were many personnel changes this year, resulting in several new people working in various capacities whom Hair said worked "very hard and just did a phenomenal job." They included people like Jory Wilke and Michelle Becher and Becher's six children, who took charge of the decorating that Hair called some of the best he's seen in his 10 years with the event.
"The biggest thing this year is we have seen a lot more involvement since we opened up activities for families and children, and that is one thing that we've always wanted to really build," Hair said. "Parents want their children to have that kind of experience of giving at Christmas time. That's a huge thing you have to fight with kids on — 'I want, I want, I want' versus, 'I want to give, I want to give, I want to give.' And I think this year a lot of kids have been able to see (the difference)."
As for the food, volunteers also worked for days to prepare the meal.
Bounty kitchen chef Bill Gollnick said his staff used money raised throughout the year to purchase 900 pounds of yams, 800 pounds of white potatoes, 600 pounds of green beans, 400 pounds of carrots and 200 pounds of fresh cranberries. Dellinger said Crystal's BBQ and Grill also chipped in by preparing about 300 pounds of brisket.
And the massive effort drew a crowd. By 4:30 p.m. Sunday, organizers said about 800 meals had already been served at the church and there was still a line of people that stretched down the school hallway.
After an 8-inch snowstorm on Christmas in 2010, "It took a while last year to see the people flow in," Hair said, "but this year the response has been just absolutely huge. But we're prepared; we have lots of food."

TUSCALOOSA | Efforts by City Hall to reclaim significant portions of the annual $400,000 lost in unpaid water and sewer bills has ended in disappointment.
TUSCALOOSA | Efforts by City Hall to reclaim significant portions of the annual $400,000 lost in unpaid water and sewer bills has ended in disappointment.
On Tuesday, the head of the debt collection company hired by the City Council to make up these shortfalls reported that efforts to find the debtors and collect the unpaid bills have been exhausted.
The result? About $12,143.64 returned to the Water and Sewer Department.
"We're disappointed that all this money didn't come piling in, but sometimes that's just how it is," said Martin Sher, CEO of the Birmingham-based debt collection service AmSher. "I hate to report that, but I came up here to give you an honest report of what's going on."
AmSher won a bid to serve as the city's debt collection service in September, based largely on its record of collecting significant amounts of bad debt for the city of Birmingham.
Sher said then that AmSher was collecting on about 27 percent of Birmingham's delinquent bills.
Tuscaloosa did not see such returns. Rather, the debt that has been successfully collected is about 1 percent of the $1.23 million in unpaid bills that the city turned over to AmSher for collection.
Sher told the City Council during its pre-council meeting that part of the problem was the legal obligation of debt collection services to notify debtors of their legal right to dispute the charges. This slows the process and requires the collection service to obtain proof from the client — the city of Tuscaloosa, in this case — before the funds can be demanded.
Tuscaloosa's debtors did not hesitate to dispute the charges, Sher said.
"It was the highest amount of disputes I'd seen in a long, long time," Sher said.
He did, however, offer some options to the City Council for further collection of the debt. Among these was AmSher offering to make follow-up phone calls to try to compel those with outstanding debts to pay their bills.
The council made no indication whether it would pursue additional measures.
LaDonnah Roberts, assistant director of financial affairs and customer service for the city of Tuscaloosa's Water and Sewer Department, said she was hopeful AmSher's efforts will lead to more outstanding debts being reclaimed.
"We appreciate that AmSher has offered to continue to partner with us to find ways to recover these outstanding debts even if their scope of services is not as it was originally intended," Roberts said. "We recognize that recovered funds can be used to the benefit of our citizens. So, it is extremely important to us that we be good stewards of these potential resources."
The issue was brought to the City Council's attention by City Clerk Tracy Croom, who had developed the plan to deal with the annual losses as part of her training curriculum through the Certified Public Manager program at the Alabama Training Institute in Montgomery.
In addition to seeking the services of a debt collection service, Croom also recommended placing a bright red warning box on bills for customers who are falling behind on payments and are in danger of having their service disconnected.
This was implemented, and she said she believed it will lead to better debt collection in the future.
Additionally, Croom said AmSher's lack of success highlighted something city officials had suspected: the city's internal debt collection efforts were already fairly adequate because of the city's efforts to prevent customers' unpaid bills from getting too high.
The average unpaid bill is less than $60. Croom said that is because the city's Water and Sewer Department will disconnect service rather than allow the debt to rise to exorbitant levels.
"Their delinquent bill looked just like their regular bill, which didn't give people a warning that their water was about to get cut off," Croom said. "But I think it just confirmed what we've thought, and that's that we're doing a good job in-house to help a customer avoid a delinquent bill."
