PITTSFORD � The bleachers at Pittsford High School looked like a sea of pink Thursday night as the community turned out to show their support for one of their own who is battling breast cancer.
Pittsford Elementary School third-grade teacher Kristi Saunders was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over a year ago and is currently taking chemotherapy. Dressed in pink shirt with her name on it reading �We Wear Pink for Mrs. Saunders� the fans and student body cheered on the Pittsford girls basketball team as they took on Jackson Christian.
It was also senior night for the Wildcats as all players on the varsity and junior varsity team were recognized before the game.
The Wildcats looking to go into district competition on a high note took control of the game midway through the first quarter and never looked back. The Wildcats beat the Royals by a final of 58-36.
Both teams started off slow in the first quarter struggling to get the ball through the hoop. It wasn�t until the midway mark of the quarter when coach Chris Hodos put his second team in that the Wildcats got things rolling.
The Wildcats outscored the Royals 12-2 in the quarter.
�We have been starting off slow,� Hodos said. �I think we played extremely hard tonight.�
The Wildcats pressure defense caused 10 turnovers in the first half on the Royals. Leading the way in the first half for the Wildcats was freshman Laura Smith and senior Laura Clark. Both girls had seven points They went on to lead the team in scoring with 13 points apiece.
The Wildcats had balanced scoring on the night as all but two of the 11 players that saw minutes scored.
The team is on a six game winning streak and is looking to maintain the momentum as they finish out the season and head into districts. The Wildcats have two remaining conference road games at Camden-Frontier and Waldron before they turn around and host Camden-Frontier during the first round of districts.
�Now is the perfect time to be hitting our stride,� Hodos said.
Looking ahead Hodos said his team needs to work on taking care of the ball. The Wildcats turned the ball over 24 times in the game.
�Everyone is capable of beating anyone else this time of year,� he said. �We also need to work on our pressure defense.�
Rounding out the scoring for the Wildcats was, Lyndsey Billington (9), Ashley Culbert (7), Madison Ayres (5), Katie Wrobbel (4), Meghan Schrom (3), Kristin Belcher (2) and Maryah Betzer (2).
The Royals was led by freshman Marisa Tippin.
The win brings the Wildcats record to 12-5 (11-5 in conference). Their next game will be Feb. 21 at Camden-Frontier.
Wildcats come away with a 22 point win

In last Friday's MMI, we revealed the results of a survey conducted by Moberly City Manager Andy Morris in February of this year (MOBERLY COSTS — How does our city compare to Macon, Columbia, others? Hint: Not well, May 3, 2013). Morris gave the survey to the MMI. It placed the Magic City amongst some of the lowest (between 16 other surveyed cities, including the aforementioned Macon and Columbia) in terms of median annual household income ($36,882), and amongst some of the highest in cost of living (10.7 percent of median annual income).
We decided to correspond with Morris, discussing the results of the study, and trying to figure out how the city of Moberly is working to fix this problem. The following are the answers Morris gave to those questions asked by the MMI:
MMI: How did Moberly get this way? Why are our taxes and water bills so high, despite our income levels being so low? What normally contributes to things like this in cities?
Andy Morris: The results of the survey were a bit surprising. Not eye-opening, but I knew going into this our citizens had low to moderate income levels. What surprised me was our high cost factors relative to lower income levels in Randolph County, compared to the other cities in the study.
It is worth noting the cost 'drivers' identified in this study. A little over half the costs identified in the study are property taxes. Cities receive approximately 12 percent of their total revenue from this. School districts, by comparison, receive 63 percent of their total revenue from this. Admittedly, our property taxes rank rather high in this study. Our study also identified sales tax paid on a defined amount of taxable sales. This constitutes 22 percent of this measure. Water and sewer costs comprise 27 percent of the expenditures. Moberly's water costs ranked near the middle of the other cities surveyed, while the sewer costs ranked rather high, at the third most expensive.
(Editor's note: Given the opportunity, Morris did not comment specifically on what he felt contributed to the increased tax and utility rates in the city.)
MMI: What are you doing about increasing income levels? Is there anything you CAN do, as a city, in regards to them?
AM: Moberly is blessed with organizations, groups, and individuals that make an indelible difference in enhancing our lives and alleviating poverty. The United Way works with social service and community agencies to provide monies and materials to those in need. The Buddy Pack Program provides food primarily to elementary students during the school year that are in need of assistance. This program, initiated by Francine Nichols with Moberly Public Schools, serves approximately 300 students a week. The Randolph County Health Department offers a variety of programs enhancing health, safety, and wellness to our citizens. The City of Moberly, although not tasked with addressing human welfare needs, can, in fact, offer its support to agencies that do, and [we] can target specific areas of need.
The City of Moberly offers financial and administrative assistance to the Moberly Area Economic Development Corporation. Their efforts enhance both job creation and capital accumulation in our community. Their efforts to increase job creation is our biggest weapon against poverty. The City of Moberly also lends its financial support to the Moberly Area Chamber of Commerce. Debbie Miller, Executive Director of the Chamber, plays a lead role in marketing our community to visitors and sponsors Railroad Days and community forums.
MMI: What can citizens do to lessen their cost of living?
AM: The City is considering a program that will allow utility customers to donate to a fund which will help assist customers who have financial challenges paying for their utility bills.
MMI: What is the city doing to actively change the high cost of living prices in Moberly?
AM: This summer, volunteers, with money appropriated by our City Council, will begin painting homes specifically targeted at people of low to moderate income.
We [also] need to be more sensitive to the high cost of water and sewer, particularly when the county median household income stands at less than $37,000 — third lowest in the survey. In the last three years, utility rates have increased by approximately 15 percent. As an example, inflation in 2012 ran at just 1.7 percent. The City needs to recognize the effect these increases have on our customers and temper these rate increases.
[Lastly,] City personnel started a program in early 2013 to ease financial burden on purchases of certain toiletries and cleaning supplies. The Moberly Area Salvation Army has adopted this program, and will expand it to the city and county. This program takes items such as laundry detergent, body wash, dish washing liquid, tooth paste, Pine-Sol, etc, and puts it in a cleaning bucket. The bucket is then given to people of low to moderate income.
These programs, in their totality, will not eliminate poverty or ease the burden relative to our cost of living; this may not even reduce it. The alternative is to do nothing to address these concerns, and that is not a viable option. [As the Chinese Proverb goes:] 'It is always better to light one candle than curse the darkness.'
MMI: How are you marketing the City of Moberly with such a high cost of living? Has it made that difficult?
(Editor's Note: Given the opportunity, Morris did not respond to this question, so the MMI called the Moberly Area Economic Development Office.)
"No, [it hasn't made it difficult,]" said MAED Vice President of Economic Development David Gaines, "because the city has been making re-investments into the utility infrastructure. The longterm investment in their wastewater and freshwater — it doesn't come for free."
Gaines said that the city has been replacing their existing pipelines in order to accomplish this feat. They now have 10- and 12-inch pipelines that can sustain large corporate water usage.
"Communities have to replace that," he said. He called such a "benefit to the residents and the city." It makes the city an attractive destination when they have "the ability to handle [the needs of possible future businesses]."
Gaines did note, however, that utility rates in Moberly compared very favorably with those along the coasts.
When asked if he believed that the rates were high, or a detriment to those businesses in Moberly, Gaines said: "I'm not sure I can give you a fair comment on the question."
He asked that we address that with the business owners in the community, and then requested not to be quoted any further.
Gaines called the MMI back on Friday morning, to clarify and expand on his prior statements.
"The city's municipal rates are only one factor in considering a community to do business in," he said. "What's really important is the access to quality workers and how easy it is for them to transport their product to other parts of the country."
He called Moberly's workforce and centralized location "an asset to this region of the state."
"When you look at the big picture, Moberly is still a very attractive place to do business," he said. "We're consistently rising above other cities in the Midwest."
Morris: City plans 'may not reduce poverty'
In last Friday's MMI, we revealed the results of a survey conducted by Moberly City Manager Andy Morris in February of this year (MOBERLY COSTS — How does our city compare to Macon, Columbia, others? Hint: Not well, May 3, 2013). Morris gave the survey to the MMI. It placed the Magic City amongst some of the lowest (between 16 other surveyed cities, including the aforementioned Macon and Columbia) in terms of median annual household income ($36,882), and amongst some of the highest in cost of living (10.7 percent of median annual income).

This blogger's perspective regarding the benefits of travel and the security of home.
I love to travel, and I've been to some really spectacular places. Much of my early travel relates to luck. That is to say that, much of the time, I was able to travel to places I could ill afford, except for the kindness of others. Finally, I am able to finance my own trips, and have even managed to "pay it forward," and provide occasional opportunities for others.
One thing I've learned from my travels is that returning to wherever my home is, at the time, is a good thing. A fairly long stint in Tahiti was exotic and extremely luxurious. I've been to London on a number of occasions and always have an exceptional time there. Rome is thrilling due to the ubiquitous expression of art and history. Japan took me to spend time with really dear friends as well as a culture far removed from my Midwest experience.
I lived in Hawaii for seventeen years. That wasn't travel, but certainly a pleasure unlike any I have known before or since. I was working there, sometimes as many as four jobs at once, but what a beautiful place to face each morning! I have built a truly wonderful group of friends in Southern California. My trips there are filled with exciting experiences as well as special time with people I care about.
Though it's been a very long time since I was there, I love New York. I recently visited Chicago briefly. I have been to the Grand Canyon and Mt. Rushmore.
I'm not done yet. There are so many places I'd still love to add to my list. I've never been to the Caribbean. I have been to Florida, which included the Disney World experience. I've been to Northern California and Oregon. One of the most impressive trips was to Washington D.C. That trip was financed by a wedding for which I was asked to provide music. The bride provided connections for me to tour the White House with a Secret Serviceman to meet me at the gate and past the waiting throngs.
It's great to reminisce about the various places I have visited. No one can ever take away those memories. I'm even writing this from Reno, Nevada. I spent a year in Vietnam, and while it was not by choice, it was truly an enriching experience. The personal cost of that trip was enormous. In terms of finances, it was paid for though. And while I would not have chosen that particular trip, it counts when I remember the exotic and interesting places I have visited.
Soon, I will be headed home. I have lived in a number of places. The first decade and more of my life, I lived in a half basement duplex. It was a two story dwelling that still stands. The upstairs provided our family's sleeping area. The kitchen and living room were in the half basement, with a yard full of flowers, tended to by a European landlady. The accommodations were modest to say the least, but my family needed little. We went to church three times a week, school every day, and the rest of the time was spent at home. My father, of course, worked long hours to provide for his family in the best way he could, so we were expected to do our part by attending school with regularity. In my twelve years of public schooling, I missed only a handful of days due to illness. Missing school demanded real illness in my family. We learned a work ethic I'm proud of and carry with me to this day, even though I'm retired and no longer have a job that provides for my existence.
I have also lived in college dormitories, fraternity houses, one room efficiency apartments and even in some relatively luxurious places. I have learned that I can make my home wherever it's necessary, and I can carve out my niche and make it a place to which I am happy to return.
Home requires certain things of us. Having a decent home life demands attention to the details of cleanliness, provisions, comfort and safety. We take these things for granted in many cases. It's good, however, to reflect on the fact that we have shelter, food, water and familiarity. The familiarity comes with time. Change is difficult for everyone, and can present some difficult challenges for us. Sometimes it gives us a fresh start to rebuild our home and improve our own surroundings.
These days I'm living in a wonderful place that has all of these things required for human beings to feel secure. We don't really need an armory of weapons to defend our land.
So I'm sitting here this morning thinking about what to write for my blog segment, and the fact is that, while I'm still enjoying myself, this time of travel is coming to a close. I will be grateful to have my own familiar surroundings. If I don't like the way it feels, I have no one to blame but myself.
I don't have to click my heels three times or perform any magic to return to my home. The magic is that I have a home and that I have everything I need. And more magic is knowing that I can travel again, and I will, but I'll always have that special place to which I can return. So Dorothy was right, "There's no place like home."

Fredi Gonzalez sat down and started writing out projected lineups last week as soon as he heard the Braves had traded for Justin Upton.
ATLANTA — Fredi Gonzalez sat down and started writing out projected lineups last week as soon as he heard the Braves had traded for Justin Upton.
It didn't take long. The manager says making out lineups just got easier.
Gonzalez used 107 lineups last year, sometimes adjusting due to the opposing pitcher.
He said his juggling days are over. He says Justin Upton will be the No. 3 hitter. Older brother B.J. Upton, who signed with Atlanta in November, and catcher Brian McCann, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, will follow in the middle of the lineup.
"When you have B.J. and Justin and a healthy McCann, that's the middle of your lineup," Gonzalez said. "It doesn't matter who is pitching against you that night. Those are your three. Having those three there, it's going to be a little easier."
McCann may miss the first two weeks of the season. Gerald Laird, McCann's new backup, had his first workouts in the team's voluntary pitching camp on Tuesday.
Shortstop Andrelton Simmons is the new leadoff hitter. Jason Heyward is expected to hit second. First baseman Freddie Freeman, second baseman Dan Uggla and one of two third basemen, Chris Johnson and Juan Francisco, complete the lineup.
Justin Upton, acquired with Johnson from Arizona in a seven-player trade on Thursday, had his first news conference on Tuesday. B.J. was in the audience with the brothers' beaming parents, Manny and Yvonne.
The Upton brothers dreamed of playing together in the same outfield but assumed their best chance would come later in their careers.
"No, I didn't think it would happen this year," said Justin Upton. "You don't get that lucky."
As he tried on his new No. 8 Braves jersey, Justin said it was "a special day for my family."
The Uptons' parents already have their season tickets — close enough to the field for the brothers to know they are there.
"B.J. got seats. He was nice to us," said Manny Upton. "So we're right where Mom can holler at him when he's on deck. And she will holler at him."
Said Yvonne: "Now I get to see two for one."
B.J., 28, signed a five-year, $75.25 million contract to be the Braves centerfielder.
Manny Upton said the talk of the brothers playing together took a more serious tone in recent years.
"For it to happen right now is just unbelievable," said Manny Upton. "To play on a team that has a legitimate chance to go to the World Series and at a young age, that's marvelous."
The brothers said they will have to establish boundaries with the Braves.
Justin smiled when asked if he expected to have a locker next to his brother in the Braves' clubhouse.
"It might start out with us near each other but by the end of it maybe switching," Justin said with a laugh. "You never know."
Justin had a quick answer when asked if he planned to live with B.J.
"No!" he said before the question could be completed.
"We'll see each other plenty at the field. Obviously we'll ride to the field together some. We both live on our own. We both need our space."
Added B.J.: "We still butt heads. We do all the things that brothers do."
Manny Upton said he expected his sons to get along just like when they were kids.
"I think it will be like the backyard," said the elder Upton. "They are competitive but not to the point where it's bad. They'll get after it. Like Justin said, they may sit together at the beginning but by the end they might be separated."
The Uptons will join Heyward, who won his first Gold Glove in right field last season, to form one of baseball's best outfields. Justin, who played right field in Arizona, said he agreed to move to left field because Heyward "has the hardware."
"I haven't played left at all," Justin said.
"The more reps I can get from the left side of the field is going to be key in spring training. It should be a pretty smooth transition. Obviously it's a change so it's going to take some time but I think I can get used to it."
Justin, an All-Star in 2009 and 2011, has averaged 23 homers, 78 RBIs and 19 stolen bases the last four seasons. He finished fourth in the MVP voting in 2011 when he hit .289 with 31 homers, 88 RBIs and 21 steals. He hit a career-high .300 in 2009.
"We think he gives us one of the most dynamic outfields in all of baseball," Wren said. "We think it really improves what we've been looking to do over last few years, to get younger and more athletic and have that kind of offense that can be explosive."
The Braves gave up former All-Star infielder Martin Prado, one of their top pitching prospects, Randall Delgado, and three minor leaguers in the deal with Arizona.
Atlanta also will have to adjust to the retirement of third baseman Chipper Jones and the exit of centerfielder and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn, who was not re-signed.
Wren said the 2013 Braves' lineup will be "much improved from a year ago."
Added Justin Upton: "We want to win a World Series and on paper I think we're good enough to do it. We have the players to do it."

Description: Kamagata Usuba are used for cutting meats and vegetables into extremely thin slices typical of Japanese cuisine. These blades are quite thin and should not be used on hard rind vegetables. Both the handle and the blade are created specifically for left-handed use. The Kamagata style combines a sharp tip that can be used for detail work with a long, keen edge for slicing.
This damascus slicing knife is hand forged by 4th generation blacksmith Shigeki Tanaka. For more than 100 years, the Tanaka family has been noted for their fine quality farming tools. Due to declining demand for farm tools, the family began making cutlery. To increase their technique, they apprenticed their youngest son, Shigeki, to a famous Takefu knife maker. Since returning to his father's shop, Shigeki has become noted for the quality of his knives.
The blade features a jigane, which is made by folding together layers of different types of carbon steels. This unique process creates a Jigane with sixteen exceedingly thin, alternating layers, called suminagashi or damascus. This is then hand forged to a layer of high carbon steel (aogami #2) and tempered to Rockwell c63 - 64. This process imparts a visual tension to the blade and a brilliant, long lasting cutting edge. Because blue steel is a carbon steel, these knives must be dried after use to prevent rust or tarnish. The maker's mark is hand chiseled on the blade and a ho wood and buffalo horn handle is installed.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European-styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Because of this, these knives can generally be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.

California skate park designers, local skaters and parish officials gathered Wednesday night to put the finishing touches on designs for a new public skateboarding haven to be built in Houma.
California skate park designers, local skaters and parish officials gathered Wednesday night to put the finishing touches on designs for a new public skateboarding haven to be built in Houma.
"We're entering the building phase," said Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet at a Houma Municipal Auditorium skate park workshop. "The train is out of the station, it's moving, and we are going to go ahead and get this thing constructed as soon as they can get it agreed to."
Fireman's Skate and Bike Park, named in honor of the late longtime Bayou Cane Fire Chief Jerry Gautreaux, who left Terrebonne $10,000 for its would-be park, will be built in the adjacent lot next to the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center on La. 311.
A friend among local skaters who had been ticketed for skateboarding, Gautreaux left the money in his will because he wanted skaters to have a safe place to practice their sport, his family said.
He requested that the park not be named after him.
Parish law prohibits skateboarding at public buildings, on sidewalks and in any area that obstructs traffic. Penalties can include a $500 fine, up to 30 days in jail or both.
Still, parish officials have been saying for years that they recognize the need for a skate park to satiate the demand from local skaters.
"If your city doesn't have a skateboard park, your whole city becomes a skateboard park," Claudet said. "And we need to have something to allow our young people an outlet to let out some of their energy."
Taxpayers will cover the rest of the park's costs, which has been budgeted at $675,000.
After numerous meetings, the Civic Center site was ultimately chosen for the park because it's accessible, visible and at a high elevation, plus a parking lot is already in place, officials said.
The park will be open from dawn till dusk, and a few basic rules will be posted on a sign. The sign will also remind skaters they're skating at their own risk.
State law was amended in 2001 to include skate parks in the same category as playgrounds and ball fields, meaning governments that build them are generally free from liability.
As far as noise, Kyle Domangue, an architect from Duplantis Design Group in Houma, said fencing, daytime park hours and landscape berms around the edge of the park will help mitigate some of the sound.
The park will be complete with restroom facilities and a small pavilion for shade and seating.
Duplantis Design Group has been teaming with Spohn Ranch, a skate park design firm based in Los Angeles, to design the state-of-the-art park.
The park's preliminary design features bank walls, concrete bowls that drop about 4 feet, grinding edges and a central stair set with a handrail in addition to benches.
Recreation District No. 2-3 will maintain the park after it's built. Other than that, there will be no hired staff at the park, so keeping the park in check will be up to visitors who police it themselves.
"The parks where local skateboarders are taking a sense of ownership in the park are the ones that are successful," said Vince Onel of Spohn Ranch. "The parks that are tucked away in the corner of town, those are the ones where you see problems."
Chairman of Recreation No. 2-3 Gary Beeson shared the sentiment.
"You are going to have to be the police," Beeson told skaters. "This is going to be your park. We are going to make it better after they finish it and get you what you need. But if you go out there and destroy it and tear it up, this thing just becomes a tore-up place. This is something you should all be proud of that belongs to you."
An additional 3 acres are available at the park if expansion is needed.
At 7,500 square feet, the park encompasses half an acre on a 3-acre plot, but Claudet said it may be the first of three in the parish.
There are talks of building another park in east Houma and one at the future Field of Dreams sports complex off La. 311 near the Terrebonne Lakes Subdivision, Claudet said.
The park is not intended to be an economic-development tool, though it has proven to be a draw for other cities.
Stan Robinson, chairman of Recreation District No. 3 in St. Mary Parish, said his district's skate park, built in November, has been a worthwhile venture.
"I can't tell you how many times a parent has said to me that it's the best taxpayer money they've spent," he said.
Nearby businesses, he said, are seeing their sales increase from visitors to the park.
"We are already planning to expand it," he said.
The workshop was intended to gather insight from locals on how they want their park built for both beginning and advanced skaters.
A local skater at the meeting questioned whether the park, in addition to skating amenities, will have enough space to avoid collisions.
Onel said planners always try to consider a spacing-versus-amenities balance.
"A lot of the users will say 'Take every dollar and every square foot and put it toward skating,' and then there are other skaters that say 'Let's hold back a little bit on packing this park and make sure there is some seating,'" he said.
While the park will boast large concrete bowls, other concerns were aimed toward the issue of drainage.
"Fortunately, we are right next to the bayou," Domangue said. "Our civil-engineering team is well-aware of what we should and shouldn't do relative to drainage."
Domangue said once he and Onel review the workshop surveys from the meeting and pencil in additional changes, they expect to break ground on the park in about three months. The park is expected to be finished before the end of this year.

Did you know that the oldest Army engineering battalion in the U.S. dates back to 1636 and the Massachusetts National Guard? That the Military Police date back to General Washington's army? Or what a tunnel under the Vietnam deltas looked like?
Did you know that the oldest Army engineering battalion in the U.S. dates back to 1636 and the Massachusetts National Guard? That the Military Police date back to General Washington's army? Or what a tunnel under the Vietnam deltas looked like?
My husband, Joel, and I, along with our friends Barbara and Bill Jessee, learned all that and a great deal more on a fascinating visit to Fort Leonard Wood, the Army's Maneuver Support Center of Excellence. We spent the day wandering through four top-notch Army museums took a close look at a piece of the Berlin Wall, drove through some historic countryside, and lunched in the base PX.
Sprawling across 100 square miles of rugged Ozark terrain and fronting on I-44 at St. Robert, Fort Wood is only about an hour from the Lake and welcomes anyone who wants to look around, play golf, visit a 100-year-old school house, sit in on one of the dozens of graduations that occur throughout the year, or tour the museum complex. We spent our time at the museums —and had to leave before we had seen nearly enough.
When we arrive at the big brick building that houses the Engineering, Chemical Corps and Military Police Museums we are greeted by Cyndi Riley, a military retiree who is now curator of collections.
Cyndi fills us in about the base and the John B. Mahaffey Museum complex, which were opened in 2004-2005. Fort Leonard Wood became a permanent military post in 1941, when U.S. officials began to believe that we would become involved in World War II. Today it is one of the largest training bases in the country, supporting 7,000 on-base military personnel and 13,000 family members, and is a hub for 55,000 retires and family members. Almost 10,000 civilians work there every day and as many as 80,000 military personnel from all branches of the service come through Fort Wood for more than 200 different training courses. And the base is growing —as you drive around, it is hard to miss the $450 million in construction projects that seem to be everywhere.
Cyndi explains that the museum complex salutes the three units that are permanent parts of the base: the Chemical Corps, Army Engineers, and Military Police. Another exhibit, across from the building where Cyndi is headquartered, is Fort Wood's World War II museum, a group of 12 "temporary mobilization structures" that were used as barracks during World War II and again during the Vietnam War. Between the World War II complex and the main museum building is an outside collection of "hard skin" vehicles — tanks helicopters, flamethrowers, boats and missile launchers.
These are not museums of glass cases full of guns. These are scenes with uniformed figures in appropriate surroundings that give you a feel of the trenches in World War I, the Mexican frontier in 1848, winter at Valley Forge, or —fascinating to us who had grown up in the 1960s and 70s—the tunnels in Vietnam. Along with the life-size dioramas and displays, we read short accounts of individual heroism that really bring history to life.
Cyndi tells us that only about 10 percent of the artifacts, weapons, uniforms, flags and other materials are on exhibit at any one time. Then she takes us to a World War I Chemical Corps display depicting the animal GIs. This particular exhibit, she says, has proved so popular the staff has left it in place. It's no wonder: we gape at dog and horse models wearing goggles, boots, coveralls and gas masks and wonder whether the "uniforms" frightened the animals, no matter how well trained. Then we imagine their roles in carrying messages and saving gassed soldiers' lives. Like the exhibits of human soldiers, this depiction of the four-footed members of the military is totally compelling.
We fan out through the three indoor museums, each bringing our own backgrounds to what we see. As a history buff, I love the immersion dioramas, which really help me picture what military life is—and was—like. Bill, who was in the military, and my husband, who wasn't, share stories of being kids during World War II, and my chemist-husband is particularly interested in the story and equipment of the chemical corps, which had its beginning during the darkest days of World War I.
Across the street, Barbara and I duck inside the barracks of the World War II museum, and observe the 1940s-era office where an orderly/supply officer distributes mail, mans the phones and sends telegrams. We see where Italian and German POWs were confined, and we are able to imagine sleeping side-by-side with other recruits on the cots in the World War II barracks.
Cyndi has told us that the only difference in the barracks during the years between World War II and Vietnam—one of these buildings is furnished like it was in the 1960s -- was that metal mirrors in the latrines were replaced with glass, wooden toilet seats replaced with plastic and that cots became bunk beds.
We leave for lunch at the PX food court a few blocks away, but return to see more. Before the day is out, we are all four steeped in Army history —and ready to come back another time.
One last thing. Cyndi made a point of telling us that since Fort Leonard Wood is home to the Army Military Police, and trains Military Police units all year long that there are more MPs per square mile at FLW than anywhere else in the world. Be warned! My husband got a ticket.

Farmer's Hall was packed full of screaming Gridley and Live Oak fans on Friday night, as the Bulldogs took on neighboring Live Oak in the NSCIF quarterfinals.
Farmer's Hall was packed full of screaming Gridley and Live Oak fans on Friday night, as the Bulldogs took on neighboring Live Oak in the NSCIF quarterfinals.
The Bulldogs led most of the game, but the atmosphere was intense from tip-off until the final buzzer, both teams nailing baskets, blocking shots, stealing balls and playing aggressive basketball.
Entering the final quarter, the Lions' Tony Arellano and Gurbeer Kooner hit back-to-back three-pointers to cut the Bulldogs' lead down to one. Both teams continued to hit shot for shot most of the final quarter.
Gridley's Emery Haddy hit a three-pointer of his own to give Gridley a little wiggle room, but after another three from Arellano and two free throws from Romario Acosta, Live Oak pulled ahead 42-41.
Live Oak's second lead of the night did not last long, as Haddy and Sam Cota were both successful from beyond the arch. The Lions' Aaron Pamma picked up two after going to the line to bring the score to 49-47 with less than a minute left in the game.
But the Bulldogs, in front of a capacity crowd, were determined to get the W. Mat Scott topped off the scoring for the Bulldogs after hitting two at the line. Ahead by four points with less than 15 seconds in the game, Tyler Abrego made one of the biggest plays by stealing the Live Oak ball and securing a trip to the semi-finals, where they will take on the No. 1 seeded Corning Cardinals.
Gridley fans rushed the court as the Bulldogs pulled out a thrilling 51-47 victory over the Lions in the Northern Section Division IV quarterfinals.
Haddy had a game-high 14 points, with four three pointers. Abrego scored 13 points for the Bulldogs, while Sam Cota finished with 10.
Arellano led the Lions with four 3-pointers. Pamma, Kooner and Acosta each had nine points.

Description: The yanagiba is a traditional Japanese knife used to cut boneless fish fillets. It is mainly used for a drawing cut. The heel of the knife is placed on the fish and the knife is lightly pressed down, letting the weight of the knife do the work while drawing the blade toward you. Sashimi knives are also excellent for slicing other boneless meats.
This single-bevel knife is handmade by Hideo Kitaoka. The blade features a jigane, which is made by folding together layers of different types of carbon steels. This unique process creates a Jigane with ten exceedingly thin, alternating layers, called suminagashi or damascus. This is then forge-welded to a layer of high carbon steel (shirogami #2) and tempered to Rockwell c63 - 64. This process imparts a visual tension to the blade and a brilliant, long lasting cutting edge. Because white steel is a carbon steel, these knives must be dried after use to prevent rust or tarnish.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European-styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Because of this, these knives can generally be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
The octagonal handle is formed from macassar ebony with a pakka wood ferrule. The blade comes razor sharp.

WSI Oak Ridge continues to assess workload and staffing since the termination of its contract to provide security at Y-12 National Security Complex.
WSI Oak Ridge continues to assess workload and staffing since the termination of its contract to provide security at Y-12 National Security Complex.
The Oak Ridger contacted WSI recently about a report that several people were laid off. WSI Oak Ridge spokeswoman Courtney Russell replied that two employees retired and one employee was laid off. In response to other questions from the newspaper, Russell stated, "Following the termination of convenience of our contract to provide security support services to the Y-12 National Security Complex we continue to assess our current workload and staffing.
"We can't speculate on the future until the contract to provide security services to ORO (Oak Ridge Operations), which includes the Federal Office Building Compex, East Tennessee Technology Park, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory is awarded," she concluded.
WSI Oak Ridge's contract with Y-12 was terminated in late October, triggered by a breach of security at Y-12 on July 28 and a subsequent termination recommendation by the National Nuclear Security Administration. B&W Y-12, the managing contactor for Y-12, then took over security at the Y-12 plant only.
Michael Walli, Megan Rice and Greg Boertje-Obed were indicted in December for destroying property within Y-12, depredation against U.S. property exceeding $1,000 and trespassing onto Department of Enegy property.
Last week, NNSA announced that Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC — a team headed by Bechtel National Inc and Lockheed MartinServices Inc. — had been selected to manage Y-12 and the Pantex plant near Amarillo, Texas beginning in May. The contract also includes construction project management of the multi-billion dollar Uranium Processing Facility at Y-12, and an unexercised option for Savannah River Tritium Operations at the Savannah River Site near Aiken, S.C.

xphobe, can you ballpark what you think this will cost me?
educational child care for the kids and much more.
Don't kangaroos skip along the surface of the water?
Oh and LadyA, the convention homepage says:Quote from: Texas Freethought Conventioneducational child care for the kids and much more.It just doesn't have any details on age and whatnot so you might want to give them a ring.
Heck, the last 'organized' anything we've been to was when Queen was opening for the Starship in NY....That'll date me real quick!
i will be going as well. i only live 15 minutes from downtown houston.
Quote from: commie_atheist on April 05, 2011, 03:25:15 PMi will be going as well. i only live 15 minutes from downtown houston. Well, this changes everything. Are you going to behave?
We've got plenty of time to figure out how/when to meet up. I'm thinking about setting up a WWGHA table. That would be the easiest.
^ not sure, exactly. It could be as simple as making a sign and taping it to the wall - a visible reference point where we could meet. Or maybe they'd let me print up some stuff from the website and distribute it. I dunno yet. I've emailed Staise but have not heard back. They might not let me do anything, in which case I'll just have to wear my hat. That should be pretty visible.Of course, I already know what you look like so I shouldn't have much trouble finding you, unless you wear your alien face hugger, in which case I'd be completely stumped...

Below are some tidbits on baseball and sportscard collecting.
Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector's Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below.
MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back.
NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles.
FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along.
1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.
The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career.
This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards.
Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

1974 Topps Deckle Edge checklist and prices
1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.
To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set.
The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada.

As 2012 draws to a close, so too does the last term of the city of Lansing's longtime mayor, Ken Bernard.
As 2012 draws to a close, so too does the last term of the city of Lansing's longtime mayor, Ken Bernard. On Jan. 3, Bernard will retire as current city Councilman Billy Blackwell is sworn in to become the first new elected mayor for Lansing in almost 30 years. After that regular meeting, the city will be hosting a reception from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. for Bernard in the community center beneath City Hall. City Administrator Mike Smith said the ceremony will begin with comments from the new mayor Blackwell. "Then they're going to turn it over to me," Smith said. "I've got some things I want to say because I've been working with the mayor since 1979." Bernard has served as mayor almost continually since 1983, aside from a short break from 1991 to 1993. Following Smith's comments, there will then be a couple of other presentations followed by a chance for the audience to speak. Eventually, Smith said he'll turn the ceremony over to Bernard himself. The public is welcome to visit the ceremony during the comments or afterward, Smith said. "We've got a lot of cake and a lot of punch, so anybody who wants to come in," is welcome, he said.

CASE 368 - The history of The Ukraine
Ukraine was known as "Kievan Rus" (from which Russia is a derivative) up until the 16th century. In the 9th century, Kiev was the major political and cultural center in eastern Europe. Kievan Rus reached the height of its power in the 10th century and adopted Byzantine Christianity. The Mongol conquest in 1240 ended Kievan power. From the 13th to the 16th century, Kiev was under the influence of Poland and western Europe. The negotiation of the Union of Brest-Litovsk in 1596 divided the Ukrainians into Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholic faithful. In 1654, Ukraine asked the czar of Moscovy for protection against Poland, and the Treaty of Pereyasav signed that year recognized the suzerainty of Moscow. The agreement was interpreted by Moscow as an invitation to take over Kiev, and the Ukrainian state was eventually absorbed into the Russian Empire.
After the Russian Revolution, Ukraine declared its independence from Russia on Jan. 28, 1918, and several years of warfare ensued with several groups. The Red Army finally was victorious over Kiev, and in 1920 Ukraine became a Soviet republic. In 1922, Ukraine became one of the founders of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In the 1930s, the Soviet government's enforcement of collectivization met with peasant resistance, which in turn prompted the confiscation of grain from Ukrainian farmers by Soviet authorities; the resulting famine took an estimated 5 million lives. Ukraine was one of the most devastated Soviet republics after World War II. (For details on World War II, see Headline History, World War II.) On April 26, 1986, the nation's nuclear power plant at Chernobyl was the site of the world's worst nuclear accident. On Oct. 29, 1991, the Ukrainian parliament voted to shut down the reactor within two years' time and asked for international assistance in dismantling it.
ocated in southeast Europe, the country consists largely of fertile black soil steppes. Mountainous areas include the Carpathians in the southwest and the Crimean chain in the south. Ukraine is bordered by Belarus on the north, by Russia on the north and east, by the Black Sea on the south, by Moldova and Romania on the southwest, and by Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland on the west.
