NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Caps and gowns are arriving at college dorm rooms and off-campus apartments in droves as graduates get ready for their days in the sun in May and June. Unfortunately, soon after the hoopla dies down, college grads will cross another threshold to full-fledged adulthood: a first look at their total student loan bill. According to GreenPath Debt Solutions, a Farmington Hills, Mich., nonprofit credit counseling firm, the sticker shock from opening that first student loan envelope could be off the Richter scale. "Our clients, who have student loans, are facing nearly $30,000 in student loan debt, which is a 13% increase over 2011," says Rick Bialobrzeski, GreenPath communications director. To save graduating college students some "headaches and money," as GreenPath puts it, the organization has a college loan repayment plan boiled down to a few key steps. Follow them and GreenPath says you'll minimize the financial and emotional stress from dealing with huge student loan bills: Know your loan. This may seem obvious, but GreenPath says one of the most common missteps among college graduates facing a loan burden is being uncertain how best to manage it. The firm advises knowing exactly what type of loan you borrowed. Is it a private or government loan? Is it a Perkins or Stafford loan? Who is the lender? What's the balance and repayment status? Knowing what you're up against is the first step in paying it off. (For a good look at all federal student loans, visit the National Loan Data System.) Start paying on time. Different loans have different grace periods, meaning the time you have before your first monthly loan payment is due. Count on six months for Stafford loans; nine for Perkins loans. If you have a private loan, contact your lender directly. A note: You don't have to wait for your first bill to start paying. Starting early, if you can handle it, is a great head start on your loan repayment campaign. Set up automatic payments. "Missing payments can quickly get you into financial trouble," GreenPath says. "Pay on time all the time. Setting up payments automatically through your bank account will dramatically reduce the chances of missing a payment." Don't extend your loan timetable. To thwart constant, bank account-draining loan interest charges, don't extend your loan past the traditional 10-year payment period. GreenPath says that extended repayment plans may lower your monthly payment, but they'll have you paying more interest, and more cash, over a longer period. Also, pay down loans with the highest interest rates first. That can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in interest. Leverage tax breaks. GreenPath says that, depending on the size of your paycheck, you may be able to deduct up to $2,500 on the interest you pay on your student loan each year. That can cut your tax bill and leave more cash in your pocket. You'll also want to keep an open dialogue with your lender (especially if you're having trouble paying), and make sure to open all correspondence it sends. That way you're always on the same page, and you're not blindsided by any bad news.

A long time ago, when Windows was busy crashing into walls, when the Mac OS was running around naked in the woods looking for someone to protect its memory, and when Linux was frantically jumping up and down with a lollipop in its mouth, we were blessed with the BeOS. It was new, free of legacy nonsense, fast, and designed from the ground-up to make sense (which it didn't, but at least they tried). It could do all sorts of fancy stuff that the other operating systems could only dream of, but at the same time, trivial things like actually getting networking and the internet to work brought it to its knees. Sadly, it didn't make it because Windows and the Mac OS were bullying BeOS, and of course it didn't help that BeOS' parents didn't really know anything about the real world either. The community around BeOS, however, never really died out, and the central hub, BeBits, weathered all storms. It found a new owner today.

For all you dessert foodies out there - do you remember the show on Food TV called Sweet Dreams with Gale Gand? I loved that show because of her easygoing, calm personality and her perfect culinary creations.
She was beyond talented when it came to making perfect desserts, pastries, etc... A true master in creating creative sweet treats; nothing was the norm with this chef, she was so very inventive when it came to desserts as well as making them look absolutely perfect.
Talk about kicking it up a notch, oh yes she did that and then some! Even the tinest of candies or pastries she made them perfectly and with such ease. I made a point of trying my best to copy down her recipes after each episode, since her cookbooks are fairly expensive. Is Santa reading this? If so, Gale Gand cookbooks are at the top of my list as well as a new Simmons Beautyrest Black Edition mattress.
I've adapted this recipe a bit. If you are a scone lover as I am then you simply must try this.
cinnamon-chocolate scones
adapted from Butter Sugar Flour Eggs by Gale Gand
print recipe
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 ts baking powder
1/4 ts salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick of unsalted butter, cold
1 ¼ cups of milk (whole is best)1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chunks
Heavy cream for brushing (optional)
Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the dry ingredients.
Cut the stick of butter into pieces, and with the mixer running, and add the butter and mix until coarse and sandy. You should still be able to see small lumps of butter. Mix in the milk until almost combined.
Next, add the chocolate chunks and mix just to distribute them evenly through the dough. Do not over mix; there may still be some flour not mixed in.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough 10 times to bring it together and smooth it out.
Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough 1-inch thick.
Using a biscuit cutter, cut out circles.
Using a spatula, transfer to an ungreased sheet pan.
Knead the scraps together just until combined, then roll out again and continue cutting out circles until all the dough is used.
I brushed the tops of the scones with some heavy cream and a few extra sprinkles of raw/course sugar
Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes +/- depending on your oven.
Cook notes: I cut my scones into rectangles and made them thicker by forming them to be thicker before baking; I like thick scones, so do what you want.
I also brushed the tops with heavy cream before baking and sprinkled them with coarse sugar before baking as well.
I drizzled melted caramel on the scones once they were cooled. You could try doing this with melted chocolate too.

COLDWATER � Branch County Prosecutor Ralph Kimble stood up for fellow farmers�when he asked�for severe punishment for Marc Goheen, who was�arrested last April for taking the cooper wire from an irrigation pivot in Girard Township.
"This was one pivot away from my house," Kimble said.
Goheen, 29, of Union City was ordered to pay restitution of $1,300 to the farmers for non-insured costs and more than $7,000 to the insurance company.
"This doesn�t take into consideration losses during the drought," Kimble explained. "This is his one and only chance. I will send him away to prison for a (probation) violation."
Goheen said he committed the crime because of others he hung out with. Co-defendants claimed Goheen, who had moved to Florida, had also removed copper from three abandoned houses.
Branch County Circuit Judge Bill O�Grady placed Goheen on two years probation after�Goheen pleaded guilty to attempted larceny. He will also serve six months in jail.
With 15 prior misdemeanor convictions,� O�Grady told Goheen, "You apparently have not learned."

GROTON -- After an earlier meeting when it seemed as if the end might be in sight, restaurateur George Pergantis and members of the Planning Board were as far apart as ever last week, when a public hearing yielded more questions than answers about Pergantis' plans to open a new seafood restaurant.
Pergantis engineer Jeff Brem opened the Nov. 15 hearing by addressing concerns raised by board members at a previous meeting, including the submission of a floor plan covering the restaurant and function-hall portions of the proposed eatery.
According to Brem, seating would come to 64 for the restaurant and 90 for the function hall. The engineer noted that the planned seating came to only half of the 314 that the town's building inspector determined was allowed.
"It's on the plan now," said Brem of the seating issue. "It's black and white."
If seating was to be set at 154, asked board member Russell Burke, then why did a sign on the 124 Main St. property read "over 200"?
Pergantis told the board that the sign was wrong.
Board members pointed out that a sign should not even have been there without a sign permit from the Historical Districts Commission.
Other concerns about the application raised by the board included the fate of a fenced-off swimming pool on the property and parking, which at one time seemed settled but which came up again due to the uncertainty of the proposed seating.
Board member Tim Svarczkopf feared that if seating for 314 were allowed by law, how could the town be sure that if at some future date, customers might exceed the 154 seats, with subsequent traffic spilling onto Main Street and impacting other businesses?
Board Chairman John Giger said the problem could be solved if the applicant were willing to sign an agreement that would definitely limit seating to 154.
Brem said he was sure his client would agree to such an arrangement because that was all he was applying for.
Some board members felt the plan did not show everything that was needed, including existing structures, property lines, the swimming pool and adjacent apartment units and topographic details.
"As far as I'm concerned, that makes it an incomplete site plan," said Burke, who later said landscaping details on the site plan were "cartoonish."
Pergantis then rose unsteadily and charged the board with not really wanting a restaurant on the property, that town officials would rather see office space built there.
"I'm too old for this," said Pergantis. "I'm very angry. I need help and no one helps me."
Chairman John Giger, seeking to defuse the situation, told Pergantis nothing was being asked of him that was not asked of every applicant, the board just needed more information.
This was the third try by Pergantis for a special permit and site-plan review, said Giger, but while Pergantis has supplied some information, he had not supplied others.
With a more complete site plan needed as well as more information on parking, seating, occupancy issues, and landscaping still outstanding, board members voted to continue the public hearing until Dec. 6.
Also continued until Dec. 6 was a public hearing with the Groton Electric Light Department.
That hearing was continued pending more information on a number of waivers to be sought by GELD in relation to its plans to build a new office/garage complex on its property off Station Avenue.
In an appearance before the board last week, GELD attorney Robert Collins summarized the project to members, saying that the 3.8-acre site of the department's existing buildings would be reduced to 1.5 acres with all operations to be consolidated within the confines of a new building when completed.
The planned facility would be bracketed by two parking lots with 21 spaces.
"This is a significant improvement over what exists today in addition to aesthetic improvements," said Collins of the plan.
"This facility actually speaks to those goals," Collins said, referring to the town's larger goal of drawing foot traffic to the neighborhood.

Anti-Gay Marriage British Lawmaker Busted for 11-Year Affair
British media outlets have reported that a conservative member of the United Kingdom Parliament, who strongly opposes marriage equality and supports traditional marriage, had an 11-year affair with a woman. The ex-mistress says she decided to expose the affair after the married politician condemned same-sex marriage.
According to the Mirror, Bob Blackman, a high-ranking Tory MP who touts that marriage should be between "one woman and one man," has been busted for cheating on his wife for over a decade. Carol Shaw, a Tory and Blackman's former mistress, exposed the affair to the British media after Blackman said he supported traditional marriage and denounced gay marriage.
The lawmakers have apparently been fooling around for 11 years and Shaw says they would often have relations on Friday afternoons when they were both Tory councilors.
"I couldn't believe a man who had an affair with me for over 11 years could have the cheek to preach about the sanctity of marriage," Shaw, 62, told the Mirror. She said that they even had sex in Blackman's bed and in his office at work.
Shaw added that she exposed the longtime affair after Blackman, 58, debated against same-sex marriage earlier this month.
"Bob is an absolute hypocrite. He talks about marriage being between one man and one woman, but why does he not practice what he preaches? More than once I asked about his wife and I got the impression one day he might leave her, because he said he could love two people at the same time."
Tories have been split over legalization of same-sex marriage, but the prime minister is going forward. Last week, the government announced it would introduce a bill next year that would legalize gay marriage. Still, some Tory members of Parliament argue that same-sex marriage would negatively impact society. They claim gay marriage would undermine "normal marriage" and polygamy would become the next hot button issue.
On Sunday, national U.K. newspaper the Telegraph reported that nearly 60 politicians from all three major parties signed a letter to protest the Prime Minster David Cameron's support. The lawmakers have launched a campaign in Parliament to oppose the measure.
Blackman married his wife Nicola, who is also a Tory councilor, in 1988. Shaw says that she started sleeping with him a year after they first worked together in London.
"I was smitten from the word go. I found him intelligent, very attractive. He knew a lot about politics and I was keen to learn. I would have to say it was love at first sight," she told the newspaper. She then recalls the sexual tension between them and the first time they had sex. She added that Blackman was a "terrible lover" and that he would "never try anything new. He would just say 'I haven't got much time.' He just wanted to get into it."
"We got in the front room and then we threw all our clothes on the floor and ran into the bedroom," she said. "It was very quick. I'd imagined something more romantic and I wanted more sensitivity like going out for dinner, but it didn't happen like that."
Shaw went on to say they were careful about their affair and would rarely go out together. She grew increasingly jealous, however, and knew that they would never be an item. The affair ended in 2000, after she finally realized he would not leave his wife for her.
"I remember one time he was late. He must have rushed his food because when he got here he vomited all over the loo and didn't clear it up," she said. "That really put me off. He was so egotistic and he didn't think something like that would put someone off him. He didn't even apologize. He was annoyed when it all ended. He didn't want anything to interrupt his steps up the political ladder and I could have been a fly in the ointment."

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths for men and women combined. When men and women are considered separately, colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of death in each sex, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). (For men and women, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, prostate cancer is the second leading cause for men, and breast cancer is the second leading cause for women.)
Your risk for developing colorectal cancer increases with age, but other lifestyle factors and genetics also play a role in increasing risk.
The risk for colorectal cancer increases after age 40. The risk rises sharply beginning around age 50 and continues to increase with each passing decade.
Because colorectal cancer develops slowly, the ACS emphasizes screening for the early detection of pre-cancerous polyps. Early detection focuses on finding and removing a type of polyp in the colon called an adenoma, which is the precursor to colon cancer in most cases. If these are found early and removed, the cancer can be prevented.
Researchers say that diet seems to affect your risk for developing colorectal cancer. People whose diets are high in fat (especially fats from animal sources) and processed meats are at higher risk for colorectal cancer. It is currently not known if taking folic acid or Vitamin D lowers the risk of colorectal cancer. Although fiber was thought to aid in prevention of colorectal cancer, studies have shown conflicting results.
Obesity can increase the risk for colorectal cancer, and so can smoking and heavy alcohol use, according to the ACS and the National Cancer Institute.
A sedentary lifestyle has been linked to an increased risk for colorectal cancer. The ACS has recommended at least 30 minutes, and even better, 45 to 60 minutes of physical activity on five or more days of the week to lower the risk of getting colorectal cancer.
Some studies show that using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including aspirin, may help reduce the risk for colon cancer. This is not an accepted indication for their use at this time because of their potential side effects. Don't begin taking these medications to prevent colon cancer without first talking to your doctor about these medications, particularly for long-term use.
The ACS recommends that screening for colorectal cancer begin at age 50 for people at average risk. If you are at increased risk for colorectal cancer (for example, you have a family history of colorectal cancer), talk with your health care provider about which screening method is right for you, when you should begin screening, and how often you need it.
Here is more information about tests that are available:
The stool blood test, called the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), looks for small amounts of blood in the stool. These tests are done at home, and they require that the person takes several samples. At least one sample should be taken on three different days. For the FOBT, the test should be taken after two days on a diet free of meat, aspirin, vitamin C, and iron. These samples are then sent to a laboratory for testing. If blood is found, additional testing with a colonoscopy will be needed to find the source of the blood. Although these tests have led to early diagnosis of polyps or colon cancer, there is a significant incidence of "false positives" (the test is positive, but you do not have a polyp or cancer) and of "false negatives" (the test is negative, but you have a polyp or cancer that was not detected).
For a stool DNA test, you will submit an entire bowel movement to a lab, which examines it for abnormal gene changes in any colon cells in the sample. This is an expensive test to have done. Because it is so new, experts aren't yet sure how often it needs to be done.
With a flexible sigmoidoscopy, the doctor uses a thin, lighted tube called a sigmoidoscope to look into the rectum and about half of the colon for polyps. This test often is uncomfortable, but shouldn't be painful, the ACS says. Recent research has found that because women may be more likely to have colon cancer occur in a part of the colon not examined by a sigmoidoscopy, sigmoidoscopy may not be as effective a screening test for women.
In a colonoscopy, the doctor uses a longer version of the sigmoidoscope to explore the entire length of the colon. This device also allows the doctor to remove any polyps that may be found. These are tested for cancer. Like the sigmoidoscopy, this test may be uncomfortable. Medicine is available to keep you relaxed and minimize the discomfort.
A barium enema with air contrast allows the doctor to take an X-ray of the colon to find polyps. For this test, barium partly fills the colon and air is pumped in to expand the colon, the ACS says. This test is useful for those unable or unwilling to have a colonoscopy, and is reliable when done by a skilled and experienced diagnostic radiologist or gastroenterologist. But if something abnormal is seen on the test, a colonoscopy will be needed.
Virtual colonoscopy, a new method of screening for colorectal cancer, produces 3-D images of the colon. Computed tomography, sometimes called a CAT scan, is used to create the image. While this test is not as invasive as a colonoscopy, it still requires that the bowel be cleaned beforehand with enemas and/or laxatives. If a a mass is detected, traditional colonoscopy or surgery is needed to remove it.
All of these tests, except for FOBT, FIT, and stool DNA tests, require you to go through a process to cleanse stool from the colon and rectum the day before the test. Your health care provider will give you the instructions on how to do this.
The ACS says you are at increased risk for colorectal cancer if:
A parent, brother, sister or child has had it. The risk is further increased if the cancer developed before age 60.
You have a genetic abnormality called familial adenomatous polyposis or one called hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
You have had colorectal cancer.
You have a personal history of colon polyps.
You have or have had ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
You have type 2 diabetes.
You are obese.
You are a heavy drinker.
You smoke.
ACS guidelines for people of average risk say that both men and women should get one of the following. Talk to your doctor about which screening method is appropriate for you.
A yearly FOBT or FIT, or
A flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, or
A virtual colonoscopy every five years, or
A double contrast barium enema every five years, or
Colonoscopy every 10 years
A stool DNA test (best interval uncertain)
If you have any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor - they may be caused by colorectal cancer or a non-cancerous condition. According to the ACS, symptoms of colorectal cancer may include:
A change in bowel habits; this could be diarrhea, constipation, or a narrowing of the stool that lasts for more than a few days
A continuing feeling that you need to have a bowel movement
Bleeding from the rectum, dark stools, or blood in the stool
Cramping or steady stomach pain
Weakness or tiredness

- Boulder fracking moratorium moves forward
- Jun 22:
- Extension of Boulder County fracking moratorium deemed a win for many
- Jun 18:
- Boulder drafting ballot language for three-year fracking moratorium
- Boulder County extends oil and gas moratorium for 18 months
- Jun 4:
- Boulder approves one-year fracking moratorium
- Broomfield unlikely to pursue fracking moratorium
LONGMONT -- Colorado Oil and Gas Association president Tisha Schuller said Tuesday that she'll be touring the state this summer to continue her trade association's efforts to cool down some of the more heated local discussions of oil and gas issues.
Too often, there's been "a polarization of the conversation" about oil and gas development in Colorado, Schuller told members of the Times-Call editorial board.
At one extreme, Schuller said, are people concerned about the impacts of oil and gas exploration, when they characterize producers as wanting only to "drill, baby, drill."
At the other extreme, she said, are industry supporters who automatically dismiss Coloradans' concerns as being driven solely by activists seeking to prohibit "fracking" -- the hydraulic fracturing process of injecting a mixture of sand, water and chemicals into underground shale formations to free up and extract oil and gas.
Schuller said that a year ago, more than 20 Colorado municipalities or counties were considering permanent bans or long-term moratoriums on drilling that involved that process.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Association and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission -- the state agency that regulates oil and gas development -- have been able to resolve most of those concerns raised by local governments and their constituents, she said.
In general, Schuller said, "everyone's found a way to navigate this territory."
She said that "the main thing we have to do initially, is listen" to local concerns and then try to deal with them, sometimes using examples of how other Colorado communities have resolved similar issues -- areas where she said people are "living in harmony" with oil and gas operations."
Schuller, who said she'll be meeting with other newspapers' editorial boards as well, added: "A lot of things can be addressed and are addressed" in that kind of process.
Longmont, however, has been an exception, she said.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission sued the city over new drilling regulations the City Council adopted last July, a lawsuit the Colorado Oil and Gas Association later joined. The industry association has separately sued the city over a fracking ban approved by Longmont voters in November.
Schuller, who lives in Boulder County's foothills, acknowledged Tuesday that this county has emerged as a hotbed in debates over oil and gas drilling.
On Tuesday night, the Lafayette City Council was to discuss hydraulic fracturing issues during a council work session, while the Boulder City Council was to consider an emergency ordinance establishing a one-year moratorium on accepting applications for drilling inside the city limits or on Boulder-owned open space outside the city. Tonight, Boulder County's Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners are to review a staff-recommended process of phasing in a limited number of new oil and gas exploration sites after the county's moratorium on accepting new drilling applications expires June 10.
Schuller said advocates of a Boulder city moratorium appear to be making a largely symbolic point. A memo from that city's staff has noted that neither Boulder nor its Open Space and Mountain Parks Department has received a new oil and gas exploration permit application in more than 10 years.
As for Boulder County's proposal for slowly phasing in resumed drilling -- a process the county commissioners are to consider approving on Thursday -- Schuller said, "We're evaluating that right now."

Nvidia used to be a major player in the console gaming scene, having co-developed the GPU for PlayStation 3 and original Xbox. However, it appears Nvidia will be completely locked out of the market come next-gen, with Sony's PlayStation 4 confirmed to be using AMD chips, and the next Xbox largely rumored to do the same. So, what happened? How did Nvidia lose such a big market to its rival?
"I'm sure there was a negotiation that went on," Tony Tamasi, Senior VP of content and technology at Nvidia told GameSpot, "and we came to the conclusion that we didn't want to do the business at the price those guys were willing to pay."
According to Tamasi, developing console chips means you must sacrifice on other areas of development. "If we say, did a console, what other piece of our business would we put on hold to chase after that?" Although Nvidia is best known for their work on GPUs, they have a number of other projects--including its intriguing Project Shield handheld.
Of course, assuming console gaming doesn't die in the next generation, AMD must be pretty happy about its stronghold on the marketplace. Including Wii U, the company will be the exclusive provider of graphics cards for all three platform holders.

Find out more about iOS 7 and the new iPhone 5
Apple released iOS 7 Wednesday, a fully redesigned version of the software that powers the iPhone and the iPad. You can download it now by going to "settings," then "general," then "software update." Or you can wait until later to avoid the rush. Either way, it's not a bad idea to back up your data first.
The new interface is likely to throw a lot of users for a loop. But it does come with a slew of new and rejiggered features. Some are superficial, like "dynamic wallpapers" that move around as you tilt your device. Others mimic popular features of various third-party apps, like iTunes Radio (a Pandora rival) and the new photo filters for the iOS camera (à la Instagram). And some are functional, like a new Control Center that offers easy access to a few key settings.
In this last category is perhaps the one iOS 7 feature that is practically certain to make users' lives just a little easier: automatic app updating. The need to manually update apps in every previous edition of iOS was so vexing that even Sen. John McCain took Tim Cook to task for it in a Congressional hearing. "What I really wanted to ask is why the hell I have to keep updating the apps on my iPhone all the time and why you don't fix that," McCain grumbled. Cook's response: "Sir, we're trying to make them better all the time." Better slow than never. Upgrade to iOS 7, and you'll find yourself spending a lot less time upgrading things on your phone or tablet from now on.

Well, I'm so tired of crying, but I'm out on the road again.

We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night..
One day I'll make it in the big city
And I'll be looking for a girl who's pretty
One day I'll make a play,
and she will say "okay"
'cause I plan to be a cool kitty

"I felt that I had just achieved some kind of resonance with the psychology of people when I came up with that, I was actually kind of appalled when I first realized that some people were seeing it as an advertisement for suicide or something that was not my intention at all. It is, like, not to be afraid of it (as opposed to actively bring it about). It's basically a love song where the love transcends the actual physical existence of the partners."

Among the other lessons learned during the past three weeks of turmoil in Congress is that the political landscape isn't exactly overrun with profiles in courage. (And the after-action acknowledgments by Republican leaders that they "always knew" how the government shutdown/debt limit crisis would end isn't a sign of spine.)
One who did show his mettle, however, was Rep. Adam Kinzinger, the Channahon Republican whose congressional district includes a chunk of the Rockford area. Kinzinger didn't just vote for the deal that ended the shutdown. He also called out the nihilists in his own party. We're talking about you, Ted Cruz.
In ordinary times, Kinzinger's decision to do what's right for the nation by refusing to cede his brain and conscience to the biggest bullies in the Republican caucus might not be remarkable.
But these aren't ordinary times. Kinzinger knows he faces a primary challenge from David Hale, a Rockford tea party activist who accused the congressman of throwing his colleagues under the bus for political gain.
So for speaking the truth despite the risk, hats off to you, congressman.

The arrest of a Newburg man by a Phelps County sheriff's deputy a year ago has helped solve a 15-year-old cold case involving a 73-year-old woman who was murdered in Florida.
The arrest of a Newburg man by a Phelps County sheriff's deputy a year ago has helped solve a 15-year-old cold case involving a 73-year-old woman who was murdered in Florida.
The Okaloosa County, Fla., Sheriff's Office Wednesday charged Harry Bernard Leach, 52, of Newburg, with one count of capital murder and one count of kidnapping in connection with the homicide of Pluma Bell Sanford in her Fort Walton Beach, Fla., residence on Aug. 15, 1997.
Sanford's badly beaten body was discovered in the back bedroom of her home. Sanford, a hospital and church volunteer, had suffered blunt force trauma to her face and head, as well as broken ribs. The cause of death was ruled as asphyxia, secondary to ligature strangulation.
Leach was served a fugitive arrest warrant Wednesday for the charges by Phelps County Sheriff's Department detectives. Investigator Brad Embry, of the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, served the warrant, signed by Okaloosa Circuit Judge Jack Heflin.
Leach remains in the Phelps County Jail pending his extradition hearing or the posting of a $1 million bond.
Leach was previously arrested on Jan. 23, 2012, in Phelps County by a sheriff's deputy because he was involved in a domestic assault involving a weapon. Leach was later placed on probation.
In October of 2012, a DNA sample was taken from him to comply with recent Missouri laws mandating DNA samples be submitted on everyone arrested for felonies.
All DNA samples obtained by law enforcement agencies are submitted and entered into the Combined DNA Indexing System (CODIS), a national database where DNA samples are compared to verify identities, identify individuals who may have committed other crimes and identify unknown remains, among many other uses.
On Nov. 16, 2012, after Leach's DNA profile was entered into CODIS, the system notified Okaloosa County of a possible match. Investigators with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Department, confirmed the sample and were able to place Leach at the victim's home as a repairman around the time of the murder.
Then on Dec. 11, 2012, detectives from Okaloosa County arrived in Phelps County to interview Leach and obtain a fresh DNA sample to present to the Okaloosa County crime lab for comparison.
Leach was incarcerated in the Phelps County Jail at that time for a probation violation.

Attitude to convicts (1937)
9 June, 2011 at 4:45 pm 1 comment
Another historic newspaper report, this time in response to the Celebration Committee's plans for the 150-year anniversary celebrations of the landing of the First Fleet in Sydney. The Committee decided that for the re-enactment of the landing, and the subsequent parade of floats, there would be no convicts!
The Celebrations Committee has …decided to ban the birthstain, so far as next year's pageantry is concerned. No convicts will disembark at Farm Cove, nor in the subsequent procession will there be the slightest reminder that there would have been no Landing except for the need to find a new home for Britain's surplus prison population. This impressive feat in the bowdlerisation of history has been greeted with varying degrees of derision by correspondent s of the "Herald" and others. Mr. H. J Rumsey, who has boldly called his roll-call of the First Fleet "The Pioneers of Sydney Cove," suggests that the representation of the settlement without mention of the two thirds who involuntarily participated in it is comparable to the story of Hamlet without the Prince.
…"Conspicuous by their absence," indeed, will be the "true patriots" who, if they left their country for their country's good, did a vast amount of good work in the land of their enforced adoption. By discreetly leaving this family skeleton in the cupboard the committee has ensured its attendance at the feast.
…The morals of some of the convicts were in as poor case as their garments. No amount of sentimental whitewashing, by way of reaction to the excessive fastidiousness of the Celebrations Committee can disguise the fact that the convict pioneers included a number of "complete villains," as even Phillip, who was a humane man for his times and wished to befriend his charges, was forced to admit.
…He [Phillip] pronounced the great body of them "quiet and contented," and Hunter was able to say in 1812 that "there are many men who have been convicts, and are now settlers, who are as respectable as any people who have gone from this country." It is a curious commentary on the present ban that convicts were permitted to join in public celebrations from the earliest times, and themselves staged a dramatic performance as early as 1789;
…The truth is that, not merely was Australia founded on account of the convicts, but that it would have made scant progress in its first 50 years without them. We have, perhaps, more to be ashamed of in our treatment of the aborigines, some of whose pathetic remnants, will stage a corroboree at Farm Cove, than of the penal origins of our country. The brutal transportation system reflected at least as much discredit upon its authors and some of its operators as upon the majority of its victims. It belongs to the old unhappy, far-off things of another age. Yet, as Dr. John Dunmore Lang, whose words are recalled by a correspondent today, wrote in 1875, it is a great historical fact which cannot be ignored. The effort to do so is likely to provoke more ridicule than a candid recognition of circumstances, which, so far from being discreditable to Australia, emphasise the magnitude of our achievement in building up a vigorous, independent, and freedom-loving nation from such unlikely beginnings at Sydney Cove. It would be the poorest sort of snobbery to deny that many men and women who were brought to this country under degrading conditions rose superior to their misdoings and misfortunes, and played their part in laying the foundations of the Commonwealth.
THEY PLAYED THEIR PART. (1937, December 11). The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842-1954), p. 10. Retrieved from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17435749

A former Leavenworth fire chief has been charged with driving under the influence in connection with a Sept. 5 motorcycle accident, according to the county attorney.
A former Leavenworth fire chief has been charged with driving under the influence in connection with a Sept. 5 motorcycle accident, according to the county attorney.
Mark DeMaranville still works for the Leavenworth Fire Department, but he was removed from the position of chief in November. He now works as a health inspector and safety officer.
He appeared Wednesday in Leavenworth County traffic court for the DUI charge. He indicated he plans to apply for diversion, according to County Attorney Todd Thompson.
Under a diversion agreement, the defendant would have to fulfill various conditions in order to have the charge dismissed. Thompson said the conditions can be similar to those of probation.
Thompson said the case is being prosecuted by Atchison County Attorney Jerry Kuckelman in order to avoid a conflict of interest. Thompson said Kuckelman will evaluate the diversion application.
"He's going to handle it," Thompson said.
Kuckelman could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
The DUI charge stems from an accident that occurred Sept. 5 in the area of U.S. 73 and Edwards Drive northwest of the city of Leavenworth. When Leavenworth County sheriff's deputies arrived on the scene the night of the accident, they reportedly found DeMaranville's motorcycle off the roadway. He was transported to the hospital by a private vehicle, according to information released by the Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Andy Dedeke, who was a captain at the time, said DeMaranville reported another vehicle had been involved in the accident. A second vehicle was not at the scene when emergency responders arrived. An officer who worked on the case was unable to substantiate or disprove whether a second vehicle had been involved.
The Sheriff's Office had received the results of a blood alcohol test when the case was referred to the Leavenworth County Attorney's Office. The results were not released by the Sheriff's Office.
DeMaranville was injured in the accident, and didn't return to duty until early October.
When DeMaranville was removed as fire chief, city spokeswoman Melissa Bower said it was an ongoing personnel issue and didn't provide further details.
Since then, Mark Nietzke has been serving as the acting fire chief.
When contacted Wednesday regarding the pending case against DeMaranville, Bower said "the city doesn't comment on personnel issues."
DeMaranville is not scheduled to return to court until March 27, but if he's approved for diversion he may not have to make another court appearance.

I don't need to turn on the evening news to learn that the influenza virus is plaguing the country – a simple trip to Walmart is all it takes to know that.
It's no secret – I do not want to get the flu. I do everything in my power to avoid it. The only problem is that it's everywhere!
The Centers for Disease Control said that some 41 states have been heavily hit by the flu. And yes, Michigan is one of them.
There are some simple ways to try to prevent getting the flu. There are also some things you can do to ease the symptoms if you're one of the not-so-lucky and you find yourself with the dreaded "bug."
Flu vaccinations are available. I'm not sold on these as most folks who I know that get the shot often get the flu anyway. So much for a dead virus, huh? It's also important to note that in some rare instances a person can come down with Guillain-Barre Syndrome after getting the influenza vaccination. Having dealt with GBS for almost 20 years, I'd rather take my chances and have the flu.
Drink plenty of liquids so you don't dehydrate, plus it helps with clogged sinuses, sore throats, and icky mouths. Don't complain about it – just do it!
Take plenty of Vitamin C. It's one of the only vitamins that won't harm you if overtaken. You simply pee it out if it's not needed. I start taking double doses about September and keep it up well into Spring.
Also, try to get plenty of rest. I know that's easier said then done. I don't sleep well as it is, but even resting your eyes and body for brief amounts of time can be helpful.
A wise old friend of mine shared a secret with me once about the effects of original mouthwash – usually the golden yellow. I don't know what it is but gargling with it a few times of day often assists with sore, scratchy throats. I feel as if it helps, too.
A biggie and a definite must would have to be washing your hands. Why is this so hard to do? It makes perfect sense and it's something one should do anyways.
Do not be afraid to spray Lysol spray on door handles, desks, chairs, furniture, or anything else people come in contact with. Again, this is common sense!
But, perhaps the most important thing a person can do if stricken with the flu is avoid Wal-Mart or any other public place until you know you are not contagious.
I work in a public office and I am always flabbergasted by customers who say to me, "I shouldn't even be out. I have the flu and have been throwing up all night." WHAT? Like that is anything I want to be hearing.
***Notice*** The weatherman is reporting temps to be in the lower 50's this weekend. That does not mean you can put on your summer clothing and go without your coat. That's just stupid – and you know it. If you do than you best get ready for even warmer temps. Try like 102 of 103 degrees. And, by that I mean your body temperature. You'll only get sick, so don't be an idiot.
In all seriousness, the flu is not something to play around with. People can die from the complications. Practice common sense about your daily routine and respect the health of others, too.
Common sense needed during flu season
I don't need to turn on the evening news to learn that the influenza virus is plaguing the country – a simple trip to Walmart is all it takes to know that.

Opening Medicaid to 300,000 more Missourians would bring $5.7 billion in federal funds to the state government over the next three years, Gov. Jay Nixon said in Rolla Friday afternoon.
"Will we bring the tax dollars we send to Washington back home to Missouri?" Nixon asked. House Republicans have voted not to participate in the Medicaid expansion called for in the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.
Nixon said if Missouri does not participate in the expansion plan, "other states get the benefits, we get the bill."
Speaking at the Technology Development Center at Missouri University of Science and Technology's Innovation Park next to the Miner Golf Course and across the street from the Phelps County Regional Medical Center, Nixon was joined by law enforcement officers from throughout the Rolla area.
He referred to them at one point in his speech, noting that the Missouri Department of Mental Health has reported turning down the federal dollars available for the Medicaid expansion "will limit acess to mental health services and weaken public safety."
The law enforcement officers, he said, will find more mentally unstable individuals on the streets, which he said will mean "more dangerous people out there, challenged and needing help."
The governor repeated themes he has stressed in speeches throughout the state:
The expansion will be "at no cost to the state."
Non-partisan business groups throughout the state, including the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, support this plan." Chambers of commerce in Boliver, Branson, Cape Girardeau, Columbia, Sedalia, Springfield, St. Louis, West Plains and other cities also support the expansion.
"Last fall, a study by the University of Missouri found that bringing these dollars back to Missouri to strengthen Medicaid would create 24,000 new jobs in Missouri in 2014 alone."
"Low-income Missorians who can't afford health insurance and earn less than 138 percent of the Federal Poverty Level – or $32,500 a year for a famiy of four – would be eligible for coverage."
"Republican governors in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota and Ohio are putting partisan politics aside and embraching this opportunity to strengthen Medicaid and create jobs in their states."
John Denbo, CEO of PCRMC, introduced the governor at the meeting attended by people from local governments, the business community, the hospital, city and county government and agencies that serve people in poverty.
"There could not be a more critical issue," Denbo said.
Gov. Nixon spoke about a related issue that Denbo had explained at the hospital board meeting last week, the effect on DSH payments to the hospitals. Pronounced "dish payments," these payments are made by the federal government to hospitals found to be "disproportionate share hospitals," i.e. hospitals that have a higher-than-average number of patients who can't pay for services.
These DSH hospitals are primarily in rural areas. PCRMC and Salem Memorial District Hospital receive those payments and rely on them. The DSH grants will end when Obamacare takes full effect, because the law assumes Medicaid expansion will cover patients, so there will be no need for the DSH payments.
The act did not take into account the possibility that the Supreme Court would allow states to opt out of the Medicaid expansion, which Missouri appears to be inclined to do.
Nixon said several times that Medicaid expansion is both"the smart thing to do and the right thing to do."
He also said that it is a business decision, not a political decision, for "Strengthening Medicaid will strengthen our economy."
The governor asked those who attended to take action by calling their legislators.
"I wouldn't be here if I didn't need your help," the governor said.
Republican House and Senate members oppose the Medicaid expansion for a number of reasons, foremost being the $16 trillion federal debt already on the books that will grow with the Medicaid expansion.
Related to that, the GOP is concerned that because of the expense, the federal government will change it in midstream by cutting or closing programs, leaving the state on the hook to pay for the expanded services.
Shortly before the governor took the podium to speak in Rolla about the federal payments for Medicaid expansion, the Obama administration announced that the White House would be closed to tourists effective Saturday until further notice "due to staffing cuts resulting from sequestration."

CANANDAIGUA � The Democratic candidate for New York's lieutenant governor's seat made an unexpected stop in Canandaigua Monday afternoon.
Ultimately targeting the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls for a visit Monday afternoon,�Kathy Hochul�dropped in at Messenger Post Media�s Buffalo Street office for a short visit before meeting Mayor Ellen Polimeni at Simply Crepes, and later Canandaigua National Bank�s George Hamlin.
Earlier in the day the former western New York congresswoman enjoyed lunch at Nonna's Trattoria in Geneva with Finger Lakes Democratic county chairs John Hurley, Carolyn Schaeffer and Ted Young. Dinner was back in Geneva with Lieutenant Gov. Bob Duffy.
Hochul's visit to Canandaigua preceded Gov. Andrew Cuomo�s by less than 24 hours, as the governor was set to make an announcement at Constellation Brands/Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center in Hopewell Tuesday morning. When asked if she could share anything about the governor�s visit, Hochul deferred.
Hochul also declined to comment on allegations that Cuomo improperly interfered with the Moreland Commission � an entity he originally created to root out public corruption. She said reporters may ask about the situation, but most people do not.
�You know what�s interesting,� said Hochul. �I�ve been all over the state since that (story) broke and what people are talking about is the Buffalo Bills. People are still talking about jobs and the need for a meaningful wage, and about the farmers, how they�re enduring the heavy rains. I�m hearing more of that, I really truly am.�
Hochul�was named May 21 as Cuomo�s running mate in the Nov. 4 election. She said she�ll be throwing her weight into economic development, women�s equality, equipping veterans for the workforce, more jobs and better education.
�I have a good handle on economic development issues for sure from my time in Congress, so we�ll be laser focused on that issue,� Hochul said. �I�m also going to continue working a great deal with our veterans. (Once they return home) we still have to do a better job of making sure they�ve got the training and the ability to get back into the workforce.�
She�ll also be promoting the women�s equality agenda (including reducing the number of sexual assaults), human trafficking and pay equity.
�The governor has told me I�m welcome to carve out a portfolio of areas I want to work in � areas where I have an expertise or want to continue the work I started in Congress,� said Hochul. �I will have the freedom to do that, which I really appreciate. It�s made it very attractive to me to say yes to the position.�
Hochul was a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives, elected by voters from New York's 26th Congressional District. Due to New York's redistricting, she ran in the newly redrawn 27th District in 2012, and was defeated by Chris Collins.
�Every job I�ve had I�ve redefined and taken it to a different level,� said Hochul. �On the legislative side I have experience, but also my administrative side. So I�m looking forward to it.�
Lt. Gov. candidate Kathy Hochul makes quick stop in Canandaigua
CANANDAIGUA � The Democratic candidate for New York's lieutenant governor's seat made an unexpected stop in Canandaigua Monday afternoon.

Microsoft's suite of developer tools will now support Git, the distributed version-control system (DVCS) maintained by the open source community.
This news broke in an announcement made by Brian Harry, technical fellow, Team Foundation Server, from the keynote stage of Microsoft's ALM Summit conference in Redmond this past week.
This means that, for the first time, developers can now choose either a distributed version-control system or a centralized version control when they use Microsoft's ALM solutions, providing more flexibility to work in the manner that suits them best.
As part of the updates, Microsoft worked with the open source community and has actively contributed to the open source library libgit2. Today, Microsoft has a number of full-time engineers actively working on and contributing to the libgit2 project.
Team Foundation Service — Microsoft's cloud-hosted ALM solution — will support Git. Developers can use TFService as a full Git server with standard Git implementation, allowing development teams to choose the source control workflow that best suits the way they work.
According to Microsoft, Visual Studio 2012 is now able to connect to any Git host, including TFS, CodePlex, GitHub, and Stash, using an extension available today as Update 2 preview. Git support will be fully integrated into all editions of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server in a future release.
Microsoft's Harry blogged on this news, saying that although this comes as "kind of an abrupt" announcement, it has been a long time in the making, as his team started talking about having DVCS support for TFS a year or more ago. "I even mentioned at the end of this post over a year ago that DVCS was in our future," he said.
"After a few months of investigation (in the middle of working on TFS 2012), we concluded that adding Git support was the right approach. There were certainly plenty of people who wanted to "build a better DVCS system" or integrate DVCS workflows into the existing implementation. There were others who were concerned about open source and lack of "control" issues. But, the more we looked at it, the more it looked like the right thing to do."
"GIT has now established itself as the leading distributed version-control platform, although it has not had the best Windows support given its Linux roots," said Al Hilwa, program director for applications development software at IDC. "So it is both surprising and delightful to see Microsoft support GIT as a first-class repository. This is a great evolution of the Team Foundation Service and the whole Microsoft developer ecosystem, which now finds itself interoperating with the world of open source and other ecosystems. I have been watching the demos at the conference and there is a lot to be impressed with in the way Microsoft has done this integration, folding GIT as a first-class technology in the environment."

Christian Madsen and Ben Lloyd-Hughes, two of the featured actors in "Divergent" — the latest hopeful in the young adult movie franchise sweepstakes — sit in the green room of a Denver TV station.
"So, I hear you have Peyton back." Madsen, the son of actor Michael Madsen, begins. The previous day, news broke that No. 18 was medically cleared to play the upcoming season. Phew.
Having dispensed with that local obsession deftly, the conversation turns to a different mania: the one surrounding the big-screen adaptation of Veronica Roth's best-selling novel, "Divergent," which stars Shailene Woodley as Beatrice "Tris" Prior.
In a future and fortressed Chicago, inhabitants have been divided into five factions intended to represent human nature: Abnegation, Erudite, Candor, Amity and Dauntless. Tris is born Abnegation, but in a ritual selection ceremony opts for Dauntless. (It turns out her nature is even more complex than that. Hence the title.) Madsen and Lloyd-Hughes are Al and Will, two others who leave the faction of their birth for the leather-garbed risk-takers.
Roth followed her original tale of dystopian order and rebellion with two more best-sellers "Insurgent" and "Allegiant," which are slated for the multiplex in 2015 and 2016. Like the youth-focused series that have come before — "Harry Potter," "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" — the books have fueled an avid fan base.
"I always had the notion of 'Who really cares?" says Lloyd-Hughes in his slightly muted British accent. "Last night we sort of got a taste."
At the preview screening, a wave of shouts and cheers met the two as they walked the red carpet and signed autographs.
Madsen adds, "We kept saying to ourselves, 'Do they know it's only us?' But they went mad."
He mentions a young woman they met.
"She had a tattoo. She'd gotten the birds that Tris gets," he says.
"She was telling Chris how she so completely related to Tris," says Lloyd-Hughes picking up the thread. "She feels so affiliated with her, and that's why she got the tattoo."
Out of wonder and perhaps necessity, each has started to ponder what that abandon is exactly.
"I think it's escapism," Lloyd Hughes offers.
"The books I used to love as a kid, I used to read football books — and by that I mean soccer books — stories about boys in school who started to play football and then became the captain. I'd read them cover to cover. I just got lost in them. I think I have the same escapism and hysteria when I'm at a football match because I can just get so carried away with screaming and shouting and the obsession."
He believes it's the same for "Divergent" fans.

Mentally ill filling up New Hampshire's emergency roomsBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 07. 2013 11:05PM
MANCHESTER - A three-day wait at the emergency room; a waiting list of 30 people; a son growing more agitated. That's what an area woman experienced when she took her son to a hospital in the throes of a mental health crisis last month.
Cooped up in the Elliot Hospital emergency room for three days, the 20-year-old son became unaware of his surroundings and pushed away his parents, who feared suicide.
Not until his mother made a frantic trip to the New Hampshire Hospital to speak to the director did her son finally get admitted.
"It felt like forever," said the woman, a high-school history teacher, who asked to be identified by her middle name, Ruth. "It was torture to watch your child degrade into a crisis mode and you can't do anything about it."
Ruth contacted the New Hampshire Union Leader Monday at the behest of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. On Monday, the Alliance said hospital emergency rooms have become overwhelmed with the fallout from a failed mental health delivery system that has too few in-patient beds and not enough community-based care.
"We are in a crisis. The time to take action is overdue," said Dr. John D. Seidner, an emergency room physician at Manchester's Elliot Hospital and the president of the New Hampshire chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians.
He said emergency room staff can evaluate and stabilize mentally ill patients but can't deliver long-term inpatient care.
Last Wednesday, 12 of the 27 emergency room beds at Elliot Hospital were occupied by psychiatric patients, stranding other patients in the waiting room who were complaining of chest and stomach pain, head injuries and broken bones, he said.
"These rooms are designed to treat people suffering from heart attacks, not hallucinations," said Dr. Jeffrey Fetter, president of the New Hampshire Psychiatric Society.
Ruth said her son has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder with psychotic features. Side effects prevent him from taking some of the most widely used psychiatric medicine.
He is resentful about the fact he has to live at home, but he attends college on a part-time basis. She said he sees a psychiatrist monthly and a case worker/therapist biweekly. His crisis started in mid-December.
His mother called his case worker, who thought suicide was possible; Ruth took him to the Elliot Dec. 17.
She and her husband stayed with him for three days in an 8-by-10-foot room, lined by three walls and a privacy curtain. An emergency room worker was outside the enclosure full-time. Her son was allowed out only to go to the bathroom, but managed to wander away on occasion.
Had her son suffered a heart attack, he would get treatment immediately, she said.
"Because it's mental health, there's no room at the inn," Ruth said. "It's just wrong."

A bill approved by the state legislature to shore up the Second Injury Fund and make changes to the workers' compensation program - Senate Bill 1 - has been signed into law by Gov. Jay Nixon.
A bill approved by the state legislature to shore up the Second Injury Fund and make changes to the workers' compensation program - Senate Bill 1 - has been signed into law by Gov. Jay Nixon.
The governor had called on the General Assembly to address the issue of the Second Injury Fund in his January State of the State Address.
"I appreciate the bipartisan efforts of lawmakers and stakeholders to craft a fair solution to a difficult, complex and long running-problem," Gov. Nixon said July 10. "Shoring up the Second Injury Fund will provide long-overdue certainty to businesses and security to injured workers. I thank Senator Scott Rupp and Representative Todd Richardson for their work to get this bill to my desk, and am pleased to make it law with my signature today."
Established in 1943 to encourage businesses to hire previously disabled or injured individuals, the Second Injury Fund is financed by a surcharge on businesses' workers' compensation costs.
For several years, the fund has been unable to fully honor its obligations to pay claims. Senate Bill 1 authorizes a supplemental surcharge on businesses not to exceed three percent of their workers' compensation premiums and by making several changes to the scope of the Second Injury Fund's coverage.
This news will make one Sunrise Beach couple happy. Allen and Chris Robinette are thankful that the state legislature and governor came together to try to resolve the problems with the fund.
Allen Robinette is one of hundreds of citizens around the state who was awarded disability payments from the Second Injury Fund but had not received any money.
Awarded 100 percent permanent disability in court in November 2011 after suffering an injury on the job in addition to a prior disability from loss of hearing, Allen was supposed to receive $256 a week from the time of his injury in 2007.
In December 2011, he instead received a letter from the Missouri Attorney General's Office stating that the fund was unable to make the payments.
Since then, Allen and his wife Chris have been living on a limited income with bills from medications, rent and other living expenses.
"It has been a long battle for a lot of us that have been awarded this," said the Robinettes in an emailed statement. "We have good news - about a week ago we got news from our lawyer that he had our money. They had started paying people where they left off three years ago which is a blessing for all of us. We are grateful for this and all the hard work we all put in."
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster thanked Nixon for signing the bill and commended the bill's sponsor, Senator Scott Rupp, and Representative Todd Richardson, who handled the legislation in the House, for their dedication throughout the 2013 legislative session to reach a bipartisan agreement on the bill.
"I appreciate Governor Nixon's careful review of the Second Injury Fund bill, and his decision to sign the bill into law," Koster said. "The insolvency of the Fund means that the state has been unable to pay more than 1,380 Missourians the awards to which they are entitled, totaling over $32 million. This law allows the state to begin the process of providing relief to these injured workers."
Because the bill's provisions do not take effect until Jan. 1, 2014, the Second Injury Fund will not see increased revenue from the additional surcharge until the following April - the end of the first quarter of next year. This will require the state to continue to manage withheld awards for some period of time.

Deer Trail's town board will vote Aug. 6 on an ordinance that would create drone-hunting licenses and offer $100 bounties for unmanned aerial vehicles.
"We do not want drones in town," said Phillip Steel, the resident who drafted the ordinance. "They fly in town, they get shot down."
Even though it's against the law to destroy federal property, Steel's proposed ordinance outlines weapons, ammunition, rules of engagement, techniques and bounties for drone hunting.
Drone-hunting licenses would be issued without a background investigation and on an anonymous basis. Applicants would have to be at least 21 years old and be able to "read and understand English."

Ledyard dispatchers fight for jobs
Ledyard - Police department dispatchers say they are in a fight for their jobs as the town considers outsourcing the dispatch center.
Mayor John Rodolico said the town council began asking five years ago for an assessment of the town's police dispatch service as they considered either finding an additional town to join the Ledyard emergency communications center or outsourcing the service.
Town councilors also were looking to possibly take advantage of state incentives to regionalize dispatch efforts.
Ledyard has been dispatching Preston emergency services for close to 10 years, Rodolico said, and receives $25,000 a year from Preston. The state also paid the town a stipend of $68,000 for the consolidation.
The emphasis over the past five years has been to bring another town's dispatch center to Ledyard and bring in more state money.
"There's a feeling that if you get to a magic number of three towns you'd be eligible for significant funding," Rodolico said.
But other towns in the region have either already regionalized their dispatch efforts or feel it would be inconvenient to bring them to Ledyard, he said. In the past year, the focus has shifted to either sticking with Ledyard's service or outsourcing.
A subcommittee of the public safety commission is in talks with the Town of Groton, Montville, and Ledyard's own emergency communications to determine which would be the best option for the town.
Each option has its own set of strengths, Rodolico said. Groton Town has an "established, well staffed" center, he said, while Montville has a brand-new dispatching center with state-of-the-art equipment. And the town is familiar with Ledyard's own dispatchers, who Rodolico said are qualified and have "worked very well." Rodolico said he is not leaning toward one option or another just yet.
"I can say right now truthfully that every one of the three options is viable, every one of the three options has its advantages, and every one of the three options has shortcomings," he said.
Down the road, Rodolico said there is a concern that the state could force regionalization of dispatch centers, leaving the town without a say.
Another consideration concerns the imminent approval of a new police station, which is slated for referendum in May. The cost of a dispatch center is included in that estimate, which ranges from $6.3 million to $6.5 million depending on the site selection.
"It would be nice to know before then, but it's not necessarily mandatory that we do," Rodolico said.
The next step will be to nail down the cost. By the end of the month, Rodolico said the subcommittee will decide whether to pursue a five-year cost plan from each of the three dispatch centers.
"We have two choices to make," Rodolico said. "One is the status quo, and the other is to continue to pursue the options."
The Ledyard Police Union sent a letter to Rodolico and the town council this week voicing their opposition to outsourcing the dispatch service, which consists of six full-time dispatchers and eight part-timers.
"We don't want to see a valuable piece of this department be outsourced to a surrounding town," said Daniel Gagnon, the police union president and a police officer.
Gagnon said eliminating Ledyard's dispatchers would simply be a bid to save the town money while eliminating an essential service. Dispatchers in Ledyard are familiar with the layout of the town as well as the histories of frequent 911 callers, including potential dangers - if someone is a gun owner, for example.
"If they outsource the dispatch, I don't think we're going to get the same heads-up on those calls," he said.
Bob Corwin, vice president of the town hall employees union, has been a dispatcher for Ledyard police for about seven years. He said the union has been meeting with town officials since the administration of Mayor Fred Allyn about the future of the dispatch center.
It was when Rodolico began bringing in other towns last year for discussions of regionalization that Corwin said the dispatchers became concerned.
"I think it's bad for the town," Corwin said of outsourcing the service.
"I think we offer a good service to the town. I think if you outsource it to someone else ... generally wherever that service is located, that town tends to get the best service, and then everyone after that seems to get a little bit less service."
Gagnon said there is also the issue of phone jockeying: Calls to a town other than where an emergency is located could result in a delayed dispatch, he said.
"You're talking a minute or two," he said, "but two or three minutes could be somebody's life."
Corwin said that dispatchers also provide the service of manning the police station 24/7. There are not enough officers to post someone in the building at all times, he said, and they are generally out on patrol.
There is a good possibility, Corwin said, that when someone comes in to report a problem and dispatchers aren't there to field them, that person would have to pick up a telephone hanging on the wall and speak with someone in another town and wait instead of speaking to someone face to face.
"Who's gonna do that if we're not here?" he said.

Victoria Ann Marut is taking her story to daytime television; taping scheduled for next week.
The Truman State student facing charges for a scheme where she allegedly faked cancer and received gifts and benefits is taking her story to a national audience.
Kirksville attorney Benjamin Gray, who is representing Victoria Ann Marut, confirmed his client will be a guest on a future episode of Dr. Phil, the daytime television program hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw. Marut and Gray are to attend a taping next week. The exact air date is not currently known.
Marut, 22, is facing a class C felony of forgery and a felony charge of stealing. Court documents indicate the Truman State student fabricated a letter from a doctor on Boone County Hospital letterhead to further her claim she had been diagnosed with a terminal cancer.
Marut had led friends, teachers and colleagues to believe she was undergoing treatments for several months while both attending Truman and interning at the Kirksville Primary School.
Gray said he typically would not advise clients to do a television program such as Dr. Phil, but in this case Marut has "given a full confession" to police and the facts are not in dispute.
"I think the fact Dr. Phil has a background and is a psychologist, we're looking to find some way to help her out and get her the help she needs," Gray said, while adding he does not know what help that is.
"We've had a really hard time getting her in to see anyone," he said.
"I just think there is not enough mental health service available for people. I think that's what she's running into."
Gray said he understands the public's displeasure with his client, but believes she has an important side of the story to tell.
"I think this is an opportunity for us to go and present her version of what happened, why this happened, and see if we can find some way to help her."
McGraw holds a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of North Texas, in addition to a year of post-doctoral training in forensic psychology at The Wilmington Institute, according to his television show's website.
Marut pleaded not guilty this week. A trial setting is slated for Feb. 4 at the Adair County Courthouse.

The Neosho Lady Wildcats watched their season come to a close on Monday as they fell to Willard 37-33 in the Class 5, District 12 Tournament at Parkview High School.
The Neosho Lady Wildcats watched their season come to a close on Monday as they fell to Willard 37-33 in the Class 5, District 12 Tournament at Parkview High School.
The Lady Wildcats (8-15) led most of the way behind a solid defensive showing that didn't allow the Lady Tigers to hit double figures in any quarter until the fourth. But in the end it was the fourth quarter that did Neosho in, as the Lady Tigers exploded for 16 points in the frame to pull in front.
"I'm proud of our girls' effort," Neosho coach Lance Robbins said. "I told them after the game I was proud at how hard they played all season. We'll take a couple of weeks off and then we'll get back at it to make ourselves better for next year."
Neosho led 10-6 at the end of the first quarter, 18-15 at the half and 23-21 at the end of the third. Willard took control, however, with 1:10 to go in the game when Ali Perry drained a 3-pointer to swing the momentum in the Lady Tigers' favor.
Neosho would bounce back and tie it, but the Lady Tigers would go to the free throw line and seal it in the final minute.
Perry closed as Willard's leading scorer with 10 points, while Amber Percival was held to seven, Makenzie Parker six, Rachel Williamson three, Caitlin Carpenter one, Mariah Stewart eight and Chelsea Yates two.
Neosho's Chelsey Henry led all scorers with 13 points, while Morgan Rathmann added 10, Morgan Rogers six, Corea Lowery three and Addi Long two.
"I was proud of the way Morgan Rathmann played in her last game," Robbins said. "She played well and she played hard for four years for me. I'm just real proud of the effort and progress she made over the past four years."
