Yevgen Bondarchuk has spent the last 12 years at Oklahoma State as a player and assistant coach for the men's tennis team.
Those who know him, however, know him as much more than an everyday "assistant."
"I've been very happy to have Yevgen as our assistant coach," Oklahoma State men's tennis coach Jay Udwadia said. "He's a talented recruiter that possesses great knowledge for the game. Yevgen's experience has given the Oklahoma State tennis program enormous amounts of success, and he could easily be a head coach at an established program."
In those 11 years as a Cowboy, Bondarchuk has earned a college degree in economics, gotten married, had a son and established countless amounts of relationships with members of the Oklahoma State family.
Despite the memories and friends he has accumulated, though, Bondarchuk's dreams and aspirations have pushed him to pursue a career away from Stillwater. After he finishes his duties as an assistant coach this season, Bondarchuk and his family are moving to Dallas so he can begin his career as a tennis instructor.
"It's going to be very hard to leave here," Bondarchuk said. "I am going to miss a lot of people, but my family and I are ready to start something new."
Bondarchuk has received interest from several country clubs in Dallas, including the Four Seasons, one of the top 20 tennis resorts in the world according to Tennis Resorts Online. Yet, wherever he chooses to go, he will still reflect on his experiences at OSU.
A native of Kiev, Ukraine, Bondarchuk came to Oklahoma State during the 2003 season as a recruit under former head coach James Wadley, who coached the Cowboys for 40 years before retiring at the conclusion of the 2012 season.
Wadley said Bondarchuk made an immediate impact on the tennis program as a player and coach by improving team chemistry and recruiting some of Europe's best young talent.
"Yevgen gives the players confidence and always seems to say the right things," Wadley said. The players like to have him on the court in the heat of battle. He is also arguably one of the best recruiters in the country as an assistant coach."
Bondarchuk spent a majority of his playing career at Nos. 1 and 2 singles and doubles, compiling a 22-20 career singles record and a 22-15 doubles mark. He helped the team to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2003.
After his successful playing career, Bondarchuk joined Wadley on the coaching staff as a full-time assistant. The two led the Cowboys to six straight NCAA Tournament appearances, highlighted by another Sweet 16 run in 2007.
As soon as he began his coaching career, Yevgen's recruiting presence then helped the program bring in one of the best tennis players in OSU history, Oleksandr Nedovyesov. The Ukraine native had arguably the most successful career for any Cowboy on the courts, earning Big 12 Player of the Year honors and achieving the coveted ITA National Player of the Year award.
Coaching had become a mainstay for Bondarchuk, and the team was thriving off he and Wadley's success.
"There's nothing I would rather do than coach," Bondarchuk said. "It has always been my dream to coach ever since my playing career was finished."
However, international work visa issues kept Bondarchuk from pursuing other career opportunities. They also kept his wife from getting a job in Stillwater. With a growing son, the family needed more support than what Bondarchuk was receiving from an assistant coaching job.
The opportunity for a more supportive career arose when Wadley retired in 2012. As an assistant for more than six years, Bondarchuk was immediately considered as a candidate for the head-coaching job.
Although Udwadia was eventually hired for the position, Bondarchuk was supportive of the newcomer's role.
"Jay is an outstanding tennis coach," Bondarchuk said. "He deserved the job. I couldn't be happier to be his assistant."
During the 2013 spring tennis season, Bondarchuk and his wife were finally given permission by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to pursue other careers. He sent his resume to country clubs in the Dallas area, and immediately received interest.
Now, Bondarchuk has his choice of where he will take his family and start a new path in his career. He will still be coaching tennis players, some younger than before, and will still be surrounded by the sport he has loved since his childhood.
"I can't wait to find out what my family and I will experience in Dallas with my new job," Bondarchuk said. "But I will always come back to Oklahoma State. I will be a Cowboy for life."

Oregon Senate passes bill regulating police drones
By LAUREN GAMBINO
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Following several lengthy public debates over the use of domestic drones in Oregon, the state Senate decided Monday to move forward with a plan that would bar law enforcement officers from using unmanned aerial vehicles to collect information except with a warrant or in emergency circumstances.
House Bill 2710 passed on a 23-5 vote.
Supporters said it was an important first step in regulating the new technology and protecting citizens' privacy.
"Drone technology shouldn't enable law enforcement with a tool to circumvent the warrant process," said Senator Chip Shields, a Portland Democrat and a sponsor of the bill. "That's why we need this drone legislation to provide citizens with modern safeguards for due process and privacy rights. As drones become more ubiquitous in the future, we will need to ensure that our legal protections keep pace with the use of this technology."
Sen. Jeff Kruse, a Roseburg Republican, emphasized in his floor speech that this proposal only laid the foundation.
"This will be an issue that the Legislative Assembly will be dealing with probably for the foreseeable future," said Kruse, who voted for the bill.
He said future legislation could address issues such as private drone use.
Some opponents said there are privacy and legal issues the bill fails to address.
"I believe that there remain internal fatal flaws," said Sen. Betsy Johnson, a Scappoose Democrat, who voted against the measure.
Johnson questioned the state's authority to impose certain regulations such as a minimum flight altitude for the drone.
The bill now goes back to the House, which passed the original version and must consider changes the Senate made.
A series of bills were introduced at the start of the session to address the issue of drone technology, and HB 2710 emerged as the comprise plan.
Several public debates on the bills drew passionate testimony on all sides of the debate. Civil liberties advocates sought reassurance that the so-called eyes in the skies wouldn't be used to spy on Oregonians. Model airplane hobbyists wanted to ensure their pastime was protected. And business owners argued strict regulation would stifle the state's burgeoning UAV industry.
In its most recent draft, the bill establishes specific circumstances in which law enforcement officers could use a drone.
For example, it authorizes the use of a drone for tracking someone fleeing a crime scene, surveying environmental disasters, assisting with search and rescue operations and reconstructing crime scenes.
The measure prohibits weapons on drones and pre-empts local government regulation of drones.
It establishes criminal penalties for violating personal property or trespassing with a drone. Model airplanes are excluded under the bill.
The legislation also regulates drones owned and operated by public bodies such as universities.
Under the bill, public bodies would have to register their drones with the Oregon Department of Aviation, and would be required to report how they used these drones starting in January 2016.

Sustrans' cycle route 72 from South Shields, Tyne & Wear to Silloth in Cumbria, taking in Hadrians' Wall en-route, and specifically the section from Hexham to Haltwhistle passes right by the door of the Boatside Inn. Why not make the Boatside Inn a stopover point for the night, its approximately 40 miles from South Shields.Check out the Sustrans web site for other appropriate routes in Northumberland, such as the "Coasts and Castles" route from Tynemouth to Berwick, or the "Reivers Cycle Route" from Tynemouth to Whitehaven.For those who want to bring their bikes just for a potter around, you can follow the section of route 72 down the path beside the railway line to Tyne Green Hexham, roughly following the river.
For mountain bike enthusiasts, Kielder Forest is probably the best place to go, and you can even hire a bike there normally.
The river Tyne is regarded by many as England's premier Salmon fishing river. You can book fishing through WWW.Wardenfishing.co.uk. Details of tariffs and beats can be found on this site. You will of course need your own rod licence, obtainable from the Post Office to fish.
Please contact 01434 602233 if you are interested in either combining a stay in the B & B or Self Catering accommodation together with your fishing
Note: The season for salmon on the English rivers is 1 February to 31 October but a "catch and release" byelaw obliges the return of any salmon caught before 16 June. There is no "catch and release" for sea trout and the season is from 3 April to 31 October.
Other well know rivers in the area include the Tweed (classed as a Scottish river), which is under two hours away, and the Coquet a little over an hour way.
There are also excellent lakes and reservoirs to fish in the area, including Kielder (recent site for the National Fly Fishing Championship) being only 30 minutes away, and Derwent a very similar distance in the other direction.

Kick-Ass 2
The idea of a Kick-Ass sequel - even a good one, even one that might rope in an off-his-rocker Jim Carrey for more than a collective 10 minutes - seemed a bit unnecessary from the get-go. And this is coming from someone who liked the first movie, having delighted in its colorful charm and pitch black wit without the aid of any established fandom from Mark Millar's graphic novel. The 2010 superhero flick felt complete. It neatly rolled its ideas and themes into a standalone feature, notwithstanding the obvious sequel bait of its cliffhanger. So the announcement of a Kick-Ass 2? Yeah, sure, it could be fun. But ''worthwhile'' is another story.
Perhaps it's the absence of the original film's creative team - writer/director Matthew Vaughn and writer Jane Goldman hand all duties to Jeff Wadlow for the follow-up - that explains why Kick-Ass 2 feels not only subpar to its predecessor, but lacking in so much of its kinetic energy. Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz) slay dozens of enemies, but not with the fresh vigor that kept the first movie from feeling overdone... somehow. Very little is energized in Kick-Ass 2, without a reborn Dave Lizweski's (Taylor-Johnson) booming origin story pushing forth the action, or the haunting vigor of a young Mindy Macready (Moretz) peppering in some highly macabre fun... and a few peeps of genuinely sweet, sad sensitivity. While Moretz's character, struggling to adjust to a new ''normal'' life as a high school student, does engage in an interesting new story, she isn't given the time to explore it fully, as our attention is diverted to Dave's return to the heroism game (which he does for no established reason, after a hiatus brought on for no established reason) and the ascension of Chris D'Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) from bratty punk to full-fledged supervillain who calls himself The Motherf**ker.
The connotations of the name are particularly unsettling when you consider Chris' garb: a box full of S&M gear he finds in his mom's closet after inadvertently, though quite unapologetically, killing her in her tanning bed. The whole sequence of events is so mean-spirited and twisted that it just feels off-putting. It doesn't match the dark but earnest ambiance of Kick-Ass; it's as if the new mission statement was, ''Let's make this one even more f**ked up!'' In this tunnel vision endeavor, you lose the compassion that paddedKick-Ass' morbidity.
But there is fun to be had with the new film, most notably in its secondary players: Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl form a posse, made up most notably of ex-Mafioso Col. Stars and Stripes (Carrey, who reminds us that he's an undeniable hoot and far more versatile than he gets credit for being) and wannabe scientist Dr. Gravity (Donald Faison, launching his endearing goofiness to new extremes). But just as we could stand to have a lot more of Mindy's face-off with her new arch enemies - her high school's popular girls - we would love a chance to get to know these masked folk a bit better. Or at least watch them make more jokes!
Even the dull majority of Kick-Ass 2 never dips below watchable. Lacking in charm and spirit, but always ''good enough'' to keep us from losing interest altogether, the film doesn't plod along as much as it does just sort of skip in circles. A total failure of a movie? Hardly. But in its will to reinvent and experiment anew with everything we discovered in the original, we'd have to call Kick-Ass 2 effectively powerless.

A new book by Charles Leadbeater, 'We Think' explores the potential of the latest developments of the internet...
> The Internet as enabler of mass innovation!
"We Think explores how the web is changing our world, creating a culture in which more people than ever can participate, share and collaborate, ideas and information.
Ideas take life when they are shared. That is why the web is such a potent platform for creativity and innovation.
It's also at the heart of why the web should be good for : democracy, by giving more people a voice and the ability to organise themselves; freedom, by giving more people the opportunity to be creative and equality, by allowing knowledge to be set free.
But sharing also brings with it dilemmas.
It leaves us more open to abuse and invasions of privacy.
Participation is not always a good thing: it can just create a cacophony.
Collaboration is sustained and reliable only under conditions which allow for self organisation.
Everywhere we turn there will be struggles between people who want to freely share - music, films, ideas, information - and those who want to control this activity, either corporations who want to make money or governments who fear debate and democracy. This conflict between the rising surge of mass collaboration and attempts to retain top down control will be one of the defining battles of our time, from Communist China, to Microsoft's battle with open source and the music industry's desperate rearguard action against the web."

For two weeks I did not ride my bike. I suppose this is normal for most people. For me, it's normal to go a week or more without getting in the car, but unusual to go more than a day without getting on my bike.
I had to stay off my bike because of a lower back injury caused by a combination of snow shoveling and swimming. At first I continued to bike, using my arms to hoist one leg over the top tube, and using my non-dominant leg for starting and stopping. It got better. Then I re-injured my back by just standing! It got better. Finally I re-injured it once more by walking in the pool! The morning I couldn't stand up straight or walk, I took drastic measures: no more exercise of any kind for a couple weeks. Not even bicycling to work, which I don't normally consider to be exercise.
For the first few days I felt grateful that we have a car that I can use. Walking wasn't an option because I moved so slowly and it was too painful to walk even a mile. Then the holiday weekend ended and I shared the car with my daughter, who doesn't bike when it's this cold. I learned to ask favors and accept rides from friends. I practiced patience waiting an extra hour for my daughter to get off work and come pick me up. I appreciated the car that allows me to continue working in a limited capacity, but oh, how I missed independent mobility!
I briefly revisited our decision to be a one-car family. The thought of a car payment makes me shudder. I thought of how much space another car would take up. The back injury was only temporary.
This week I'm back to riding my bike. These are glorious days to bicycle; the merely freezing temperature is warm compared to last week's bitter cold. I relish the ease of getting on and off the bike, of starting and stopping, that had eluded me all month. My only complaint is that my rear end, unaccustomed to the bike seat after the 2 week break, was sore after the short ride to work!

Concern over taxman accounts access
People may revert to hiding their cash "under the mattress" amid fears that their money is not safe if controversial plans enabling the taxman to seize money directly from accounts are implemented, the Building Societies Association (BSA) has warned.
The BSA is one of several bodies to raise concerns over proposals which would allow HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to gain access to money held in a debtor's bank or building society account without needing to apply to a court.
Others who have voiced warnings about the plans and their potential impact on public trust in the tax system include the British Bankers' Association (BBA), the Law Society and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).
Plans to allow HMRC direct access to bank accounts are causing concern
In its response to a consultation on the proposals, the BSA warned that by by-passing the courts, HMRC would be acting as "judge, jury and executioner".
It raised fears about the impact of legal challenges and " reputational damage resulting from the wrongful application of these powers".
The BSA said: "The impact of aggrieved customers upsetting other customers and not to mention branch staff cannot be underestimated.
"It could lead to customers thinking their money is not safe and cashing out their savings, leading to a return to cash 'under the mattress'."
The BSA said it wants to work with the Treasury and HMRC "to find a way of achieving the Government's objectives to collect tax that is due whilst ensuring the appropriate safeguards for UK citizens".
HMRC has argued that its plans would only affect a "small core" of around 17,000 people a year who typically owe £5,800 in tax and tax credit debts. The cash would not be taken under the plans unless it still leaves the debtor with at least £5,000 across all their accounts.
The proposals would apply to current accounts, joint accounts and Isas. In cases where someone who owes nothing to the taxman but shares a joint account with someone who does, the taxman would recover debt from up to half the funds in the joint account.
People whose accounts would be targeted would have already ignored a string of correspondence asking them to make arrangements to pay the debt.
In the BBA's response to the consultation over the plans for the direct recovery of debts, Anthony Browne, chief executive of the BBA, has also raised concerns about the possibility of blunders.
Mr Browne said: "We are concerned about the lack of judicial oversight in the proposals and believe that the lack of checks and balances could create problems for citizens, particularly if HMRC makes mistakes.
"We believe that the current proposals could have a negative impact on the frail and vulnerable and could undermine public faith in the tax system."
The proposed powers would be aimed at taxpayers who owe more than £1,000 and the debt could be owed against just one tax or a range of them.
But the BBA has argued that the £1,000 threshold could mean that "a significant number" of people who are caught up in the rules are "unintentionally non-compliant, vulnerable taxpayers".
The BBA noted that the plans would mean that a debtor is contacted by HMRC at least four times before money is seized, and possibly up to nine times, including by letter and telephone.
But it said that HMRC should perhaps be putting more focus on the quality of how it gets in touch with consumers rather than on the number of times, in the light of anecdotal accounts of issues with HMRC's systems, record keeping and handling of information or payments.
Bodies representing consumers, businesses, banks and lawyers highlighted concerns over the plans in a letter recently published in The Sunday Times, which described the plans as " a power too far".
Its signatories included the Money Advice Trust, the Law Society, the FSB, Liberty, the BBA, the BSA and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
HMRC launched a consultation on the proposals in May, with legislation expected to be taken forward as part of the 2015 Finance Bill.

When talking about Fort Leavenworth soldiers who are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan, Lt. Col. Bob E. Willis Jr. compared them to a football team.
When talking about Fort Leavenworth soldiers who are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan, Lt. Col. Bob E. Willis Jr. compared them to a football team.
"The team has practiced hard for several months," he said Friday during a deployment ceremony for the 291st Military Police Company.
He said the soldiers are ready to strap on their helmets and walk through the tunnel onto the field.
Willis is the commander of the 40th Military Police Battalion. The 291st MP Police Company is part of the battalion.
The 291st MP Company is preparing to deploy to Afghanistan for detainee operations and to train members of the Afghan army. The company has more than 100 soldiers.
Continuing the football analogy, Willis said as the team members prepare to take the field, they will walk past the hallowed champions of the past.
"So that is what what we set out to accomplish today," Willis said.
Veterans of World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War were recognized on stage during the ceremony.
Willis said veterans remind members of the 291st MP Company of the legacy they most uphold in the challenging months ahead.
The guest speaker for the ceremony was retired Air Force Lt. Col. Barry B. Bridger. After being shot down over Vietnam in 1967, Bridger was a prisoner of war for six years.
During his remarks, Bridger asked members of the audience who have served or are serving to stand. He said none know better that the cost of freedom is high but the blessings of liberty are priceless.
One of the people who be deploying is Staff Sgt. Trevoris Shelley. He said this will be his first deployment.
He said his family is very supportive of him.
"So I'm leaving with a strong heart," he said.
Pfc. Dakota Bowen also is leaving for his first deployment.
"I'm excited to see what it's all about," he said.
He said members of the unit have been training hard in preparation for the deployment.
"We had extremely realistic training," he said.
The deployment is expected to last about a year.

Prosecutors on Monday dropped a DUI charge against the attorney for radio shock jock Todd "MJ" Schnitt, saying the legal team for a rival DJ colluded to set up the lawyer.
The report comes as the FBI investigates possible civil rights violations in connection with the Jan. 23 arrest of lawyer Charles Phillip Campbell Jr., 65. Campbell was arrested during a trial over Schnitt's ultimately unsuccessful defamation lawsuit against radio rival Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
On Monday, the Pinellas County State Attorney's Office dropped the charge and issued a scathing 24-page report detailing extraordinary efforts by Clem's lawyers at the Adams and Diaco law firm, with help from Tampa police, to set up the arrest of Campbell.
Campbell, who lived and worked downtown, had walked to a restaurant and was at the bar when a paralegal employed by Clem's attorney joined him and bought him a drink. Through the evening, he had several more drinks before the paralegal persuaded Campbell to move her car, at which time he was stopped by Tampa police.
"The public relations mantra from (Adams and Diaco) has been that they were only helping get a drunk driver off the streets," the report concludes. "This rings hollow when you consider the time, effort and subterfuge used by them to get Campbell on the streets."
Lawyers from Adams and Diaco — some of whom have asserted their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination — would not speak to investigators, according to the report prepared by the office of Pinellas State Attorney Bernie McCabe. McCabe was appointed to the case by Gov. Rick Scott because Hillsborough State Attorney Mark Ober had a conflict of interest.
Paralegal Melissa Personius, 32, spoke to investigators but "appeared heavily coached in her answers and attitude" and "cited memory loss on almost everything important," according to the report, which said she exhibited "selective memory."
Personius' attorney, Todd Foster, who stressed he didn't represent her until after she spoke to the Pinellas investigator, said the report "comes across in some ways as personal" and unfairly characterizes and focuses on Personius when it should have focused more on Campbell.
Campbell's lawyer, John Fitzgibbons, said his client "is grateful for the incredibly thorough investigation. ... It is now absolutely clear that Mr. Campbell was the victim of a devious setup, and all honest and ethical police officers and lawyers should be deeply troubled over what happened."
Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor released a statement saying the sergeant who arrested Campbell that night, Raymond Fernandez, "utilized bad judgment" when he failed to remove himself from the investigation. Fernandez is close friends with a lawyer at the Adams and Diaco firm who called him that night and texted with him nearly 100 times during the evening, according to the report.
Fernandez "should have assigned it to an officer who did not have a personal connection to the tip," Castor said. "This would have avoided any potential appearance of impropriety.''
Fernandez was not available for comment, according to police spokeswoman Laura McElroy.
The Adams and Diaco firm released a statement from its lawyer, Greg Kehoe, saying, "We respect the system and the decision made today by the State Attorney's Office as part of the process. Given that investigations into this matter are continuing, we cannot comment further at this time."
The report notes efforts by the Adams and Diaco firm to have Campbell removed from the Clem case, adding, "There appears to exist an animosity between the lawyers, which went beyond typical advocacy."
According to the report:
Campbell usually walked to work and the courthouse. That day, after court, he walked to Malio's Steakhouse at Ashley Drive and Kennedy Boulevard, which is between his office and home.
Personius and an acquaintance, Vanessa Fykes, were at Malio's about the same time but left after having a glass of wine. On their way out, Personius said she was "shocked" to see Campbell drinking at the bar because he had previously been arrested on a DUI charge.
Fykes and Personius went to Fly Bar, where Personius called her supervisor, Robert Adams, to tell him about Campbell. Personius offered "to just go back (to Mailo's) if they need anything."
Personius made or received 108 text messages or voice calls from 6:29 that night to 8:13 the next morning but had "little or no memory as to the substance of these communications — not even a general recollection of the subject matter," according to the State Attorney's Office report.
The report includes a timeline of the calls and texts, which it says "reveals a pattern of communication between these parties that would leave no doubt in any reasonable mind as to their motives and intentions. ... There appears to be a collaboration involving Personius," lawyers at Adams and Diaco, and Tampa police "to effectuate the arrest of Campbell."
After Personius called Adams, he texted Adam Filthaut, a lawyer at the firm who was close friends with Fernandez. Filthaut called Fernandez, telling him Campbell was drunk at Malio's and was going to drive. About that time, the report says, "in reality, Campbell was likely having his first drink and would later be walking home."
That evening, Filthaut and Fernandez exchanged 92 text messages. Fernandez told investigators he accidentally erased his text messages the next day.
"He did state that many of them were Filthaut updating him on Campbell's activity in Malio's while Sgt. Fernandez essentially lay in wait most of the three hours," the report says.
Personius and Fykes hurriedly left Fly Bar and returned to Malio's, taking two open seats next to Campbell. Personius bought a shot of Southern Comfort for her and Campbell, the report states.
"Apparently, she had gotten over her 'shock' of seeing Campbell drinking," the report says.
According to the report, Fykes said she didn't understand why Personius was flirting with Campbell, a much older man. "In retrospect, she believes Personius was engaged in a 'set-up' of Campbell.
"Throughout the evening, Campbell drank five vodka drinks and the Southern Comfort shot. Personius drank four or five glasses of wine and the liqueur shot.
As they were leaving, Campbell said he was concerned about Personius driving drunk. He took her valet ticket to see if her car could be left and went to an ATM to get cash to pay for a cab for Personius.
The valet at Malio's said Personius could leave her car at the parking lot nearby, but Personius insisted her car be moved to a lot several blocks away.
"The logical explanation for her odd insistence on moving her car would be to get Campbell to drive it, knowing Sgt. Fernandez was laying in wait," the report says. Campbell says he became frustrated, it was late and he was tired, so he agreed to her demands to move the car.
Campbell drove the car three blocks before being pulled over by Fernandez. Although Campbell initially refused to take a field-sobriety test, after he was told he was being arrested, he said he would take the test. But Officer Tim McGinnis, who had arrived as a backup, refused to allow Campbell to take the test, saying a court could see that as coercion.
The report says "there is absolutely no legal basis" to justify that coercion policy.

The February issue of the Missouri Conservationist warns us to be aware of the bears that may be found south of I-44, some very good suggestions and a very real possibility.
The February issue of the Missouri Conservationist warns us to be aware of the bears that may be found south of I-44, some very good suggestions and a very real possibility. Living on Oscar Tally Road (Anderson address, Lanagan telephone) my brother entertained a young cub in a tall tree overlooking his home just a few short years ago.
McDonald County is a unique area. Like to fish for catfish? Fur trap for raccoons? Witness the deer as they swim across Big Sugar Creek? Enjoy the song of the mourning dove, the night owl? With a third of the state of Missouri devoted to 15.4 million acres of forestland, creeks and rivers flowing with crystal clear waters, and comparative favorable weather, is there any wonder we are home to a variety of wildlife and flora and fauna?
It was this past July when the Joplin Globe quoted Dr. Randy Miles, with the College of Agriculture at the University of Missouri-Columbia reported that the lack of soil moisture is affecting mature trees in some parts of the state. Trees, such as dogwoods and redbuds with shallow root systems, are withering. Personally, I miss what we used to refer to as the spring rains, the autumn rains. As sure as I grieve for the lack of a good soaking rain we are quite likely that rain will commence in a few days until I begin to be concerned about a rising Big Sugar creek as it overflows the banks and approaches my deck. For this reason, it is futile to worry or be concerned about tomorrow, but, instead, appreciate what we can enjoy today.
It was 1782 when the bald eagle became the national emblem and did you ever think about how few states ever get to witness an actual bald eagle, an eagle that can fly at an altitude of 10,000 feet. During level flight, I am told they can achieve speeds of about 30 to 35 mph. The fact that they choose to settle and raise their babies here in McDonald County, here in the middle of the United States.
Have you ever witnessed a great blue heron as it lifts off the water with a wingspan that appears to go on forever? Have you ever been awakened in the small hours of early morning only to witness a clear sky full of stars and a moon that you can almost touch? We are blessed here, the peace, the quiet, the beauty, so unique to 2013 in this civilized United States. Remember to be thankful for our blessings, take nothing for granted and seize the day.
If you would like to join the McDonald County Historical Society, you can write to P.O. Box 572, Pineville, Mo., go to firstname.lastname@example.com. We continue to develop the grand old courthouse on the square in Pineville, soon to be the McDonald County Historical Society Museum. Most Saturdays we have volunteers plying their trades and making this dream come true. If you are in the area you are invited to drop in and witness the progress.
Our grand opening is scheduled for Memorial Day weekend — lots of exciting things on our agenda. Check us out on Facebook and you are invited to our meeting, held every other month, the next one to be at 2 p.m. on the third weekend in March at the 'new' courthouse on "W" in Pineville. Watch this paper for more information.

The first disturbing reports reached Delta Force Lieutenant Colonel Charley Castillo in the form of backchannel messages concerning covert U.S. intelligence assets working for a variety of agencies suddenly gone missing and then, suddenly, inexplicably, found dying. Or dead. One in Budapest, Hungary. One in Kiev, Ukraine. One in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, mere klicks from the Iran border.
"Best of Presidential Agent Series"
"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's
In Defense of Food. Humans used to know how to eat well, Pollan argues. But the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused, complicated, and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists-all of whom have much to gain from our dietary confusion.
"Life and Death"
In the more than 25 years since she co-founded Omega Institute - now the world's largest center for spiritual retreat and personal growth - Elizabeth Lesser has been an intimate witness to the ways in which people weather change and transition. In a beautifully crafted blend of moving stories, humorous insights, practical guidance, and personal memoir, she offers tools to help us make the choice we all face in times of challenge: Will we be broken down and defeated, or broken open and transformed?

Now Cally is set to destroy a web of alien deceit millennia in the making.
"Essential, IF you're already a fan."
When the first episode aired on Nov. 10, 1969,
Sesame Street revolutionized the way education was presented to children on television. It has since become the longest-running children's show in history, and today reaches 8 million pre-schoolers on 350 PBS stations and airs in 120 countries.
Street Gang is the compelling and often comical story of the creation and history of this media masterpiece and pop culture landmark.

But with more resolve than experience, as she sets out to travel around the country, it's not only her family who are concerned about her....
"It was a disappointment"
Sophie Rose, a tough and determined newspaper reporter, is the daughter of Bobby Rose, a suave, charming, and handsome gentleman who also happens to be a notorious big-time thief sought by every law-enforcement agency in the country. When the major Chicago daily where she works insists she write an expose about her roguish father, Sophie refuses, quits her job, and goes to work at a small newspaper.
"Really liked the narration on this one :-)"
After two London men end their business partnership, one of them is savagely murdered in a medieval tithe barn on his estate in Somerset. Investigating the killing, Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge discovers that the victim was universally despised in Cambury - even the victim's wife and the town's police inspector are suspect. And yet in London circles, the man was highly regarded. What triggered his death?
"Entertaining procedural through the end"
After being thrown out of the window of his luxury apartment, science-fiction writer Allen Carpentier wakes to find himself at the gates of Hell. Feeling he's landed in a great opportunity for a book, he attempts to follow Dante's road map. Determined to meet Satan himself, Carpentier treks through the nine circles of Hell, led by Benito Mussolini, and encounters countless mental and physical tortures.

On Monday, Nov. 12, I was honored to provide Colonel Crandall a low-key tour of historical elements of Oak Ridge's three government sites and a driving tour of the city of Oak Ridge. This is the man who, on Nov. 14, 1965, commanded a flight of 16 helicopters lifting troops into the landing zone X-Ray, near the Cambodian border.
On Monday, Nov. 12, I was honored to provide Colonel Crandall a low-key tour of historical elements of Oak Ridge's three government sites and a driving tour of the city of Oak Ridge. This is the man who, on Nov. 14, 1965, commanded a flight of 16 helicopters lifting troops into the landing zone X-Ray, near the Cambodian border.
This was the first major battle with a large North Vietnamese force and is the subject of the book," We Were Soldiers Once … And Young" on which the movie, "We Were Soldiers," is based. The colonel flew his unarmed helicopter into the heat of the fight to rescue wounded and bring in ammunition. By flying into the battle 22 times in 14 hours, he saved the lives of many and assured that the ground troops had sufficient ammunition to sustain the struggle.
Col. Bruce Crandall is one of 80 Medal of Honor recipients in our nation!
The primary reason Colonel Crandall came to East Tennessee was to promote Character Counts, a character development program created by educators for the Medal of Honor Society. Cedar Bluff Middle School was the first school in the nation to be recognized as an "Uncommon Valor School" for its implementation of Character Counts and Colonel Crandall wanted to personally recognize the school and further encourage the students there.
He also visited other schools in the area promoting the program. The Six Pillars of the program are: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.
The group that brought him to our area is a committee that was formed to compete for holding the 2014 Congressional Medal of Honor Recipients' Convention in the Knoxville-Oak Ridge area. The group created a powerful video promoting our area with its historical connection to the military and excellent supporting materials featuring the various elements of Knoxville and Oak Ridge.
This collaborative effort between Knoxville and Oak Ridge led to a successful bid that won the competition to hold this prestigious convention in our area in 2014. You will hear and see more about that as time draws nearer. The convention was held in Hawaii this past year.
An invitation only lunch with Colonel Crandall was held at the Y-12 History Center where WSI-Oak Ridge Deputy General Manager Jim Rackstraw was among the guests. Rackstraw served with Crandall in Vietnam and was flown out of that specific battleground by Colonel Crandall.
As the two men hugged and recalled how fate had placed them together, Jim told the colonel that he tells his family often that but for Crandall, he likely would not have made it out of that battle alive. Jim's son is collecting information about his father's Vietnam experience and had sent copies of the movie poster and books for autographs. The colonel obliged the request of a co-participant in the battle.
Those autographs were the only "official duty" we asked of the colonel during the four plus hours we toured him through Y-12, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (featuring the Graphite Reactor), K-25 (East Tennessee Technology Park) and the city of Oak Ridge. Our goal was to provide him a quiet and relaxed afternoon to honor him with our history and to let him rest from his travels to get here.
It was a wonderful time spent with a most humble and appreciative man who continually asked insightful questions regarding Oak Ridge and who seemingly enjoyed being allowed to relax and let us give him something of which we are so very proud. He readily grasped the tremendous technological advances that have resulted from the Manhattan Project at Oak Ridge and further scientific developments of the Nuclear Age.
As a side note, Huey, the colonel's small white service dog, was a delight to have on the tour as well. He entertained everyone. The reason for the dog is to serve as a companion as well as to be placed on the beds of wounded soldiers and to help connect with children at schools. Huey is a key element in Colonel Crandall's approach and is sure good at doing his part as well.
The honor of providing this tour has to be a highlight of my time as Y-12 Historian. I have been asked to do a lot of tours and I certainly do enjoy doing them, but this one was extra special.
I am glad to say that I served in Vietnam in the U. S. Air Force. I never saw battle in the way the colonel did, but the death and destruction I did see has stayed with me. Watching "We were Soldiers" was tough! I don't generally watch Vietnam era movies, but wanted to be prepared for my visit with Colonel Bruce Crandall. He is certainly one of our nation's heroes! I am honored to have met him.

A sleek metal tin holding 18 squares of Valrhona's famous Guanaja dark chocolate. Intense, reduced acidity with real depth. Suitable as a small gift or treat for oneself.
The Valrhona Guanaja, 70% dark chocolate bar is created from a blend of Trinitario and Criollo cocoa beans from the island of Guanaja in the Caribbean. This provides a powerful flavoured, single origin chocolate with reduced acidic taste. A noticeably lingering chocolate with intensity and depth.
Since 1922 the vocation of Valrhona has been to create exceptional gourmet chocolate, while respecting the artisan's know-how and fine French taste. Dedicated to quality, Valrhona selects and purchases its cocoa beans directly from choice plantations, thus securing an exclusive supply of Grand Crus from South America, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean. Valrhona was one of the first chocolatiers to describe their chocolate in a similar fashion to wine with the labelling of such creations as grand cru, single origin, single estate and even vintage chocolate. Valrhona is regarded as being amongst the best of the few French chocolate makers today creating their chocolate from bean to bar (cacaofevier).

Cool touches in both halves freeze Conqs
The Dodge City Conquistadors never could get its offense going for most of their Jayhawk West contest against the Barton County Cougars in a 73-53 setback Wednesday night at United Wireless Arena.
The Conqs spent more than 10 minutes of each half not being able to make their shots on the way to losing their 16th straight game to the Cougars. Dodge City finished 14-of-54 (25.9 percent) for the game and was outrebounded by Barton 47-35.
Delvon Rencher scored 12 points and five rebounds to lead Dodge City (12-12, 4-6), and Aaron Tate added 10 points and also grabbed five rebounds for the Conqs. Algie Lee scored 30 points — 17 in the second half — and five rebounds to lead Barton (20-4, 7-3), while Turon Parker had 13 points and Shaka Thomas added 11.
The Conqs hit only one field goal in the first 11 minutes of the game as the Cougars built a 16-7 lead. Dodge City went 7-of-31 from the field in the first half, but trailed only 32-29 at halftime because of 12-of-14 free throw shooting. Tate scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds for the host squad, while Key already had 13 points to lead Barton.
Dodge City scored eight of the first 10 points of the second half to grab a four-point lead and the two teams were tied at 40-apiece with 14 minutes to go. The Conqs then went without a field goal for more than 10 minutes as the Cougars went on a 29-4 run to turn the close game into a rout. The Conqs' shooting drought ended on a three-point basket by Conner Carman.
The Conqs' next game is scheduled Saturday night against the Colby Trojans. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. at Colby Community Center.

…(we've been here before with Wave, Orkut and Buzz) and perennial heavyweight Facebook have exploded across the Web in countless articles.
Content focus has typically been on friend functionality, comparing user interfaces and in which social situations—work discussions, party photos, blogs about cats, etc.—you'd use one or the other.
But what about privacy—keeping Internet life interactive but safe? We want to be social like a butterfly but not as vulnerable as one. We can take steps to ensure our computers are safe, it's worth further examining how Google+ and Facebook privacy concerns let you manage your online presence.
At this point in Google Plus' lifecycle, photo sharing is simple. Your Google photos reside in a Picasa account, and with each album you have the option to switch the contents from private, to shared with selected friends, to public.
If you don't want your images made public, you can adjust your setting to make them "private." For images that are okay for public consumption, they can be shared and tagged by people who aren't necessarily found in your Circles (i.e., Google Plus' customizable groups of friends, family and associates). But, you are always notified when you're tagged in someone else's album and can remove the tag if you like.
Facebook works largely the same way. However, with its well-deserved reputation for considering the user's privacy second, the social network came under fire (yet again), in June for instituting instant facial-recognition software, resulting in members getting automatically tagged in photos and receiving notification after the fact.
Even if you're offline or a friend doesn't tag you out of courtesy, Facebook could take it upon itself to tag you in a photo you'd prefer to keep private; or, it could simply tag the image of you incorrectly (the software isn't perfect). Some Facebook users have complained about finding their pictures in advertisements as well.
You can switch this setting off—but again, Facebook puts the responsibility on the user, with automatic photo-tagging set as the default.
Verdict: Google Plus wins. The difference lies in the default settings, and even though both social networks can make your pictures public, Plus initially makes pictures more private than Facebook.
Three significant differences exist between Facebook and Google Plus when it comes to the information you share and view.
1. Facebook requires both parties to participate in creating the relationship—one person sends a friend request and the other accepts it.
With Plus, you can add any member to your Circles without consent from the other party.
Of course, if some weirdo starts following you, he can be blocked; but like the case with Facebook's automatic photo tagging, this is a step you must take retroactively. Similarly to Twitter, Google Plus privacy allows for a unilateral friendship; when someone adds you to his or her Plus Circle, they are not added to yours.
Verdict: Facebook wins—the fact that your approval is required for any person wishing to view your information gives them the edge.
2. Facebook doesn't make it as simple as Plus to manage different groups of friends, associates and family. For many, all Facebook connections are bucketed in the same group: Friends. Although the social network provides tools for organizing friends into groups with which you can share specific content, they aren't easily accessible.
Plus makes the group division part of the process—and it's really easy. You have to divvy up your Plus contacts among a number of buckets, which in the end empowers you to share different content appropriately. Perhaps you want to share pictures from Saturday night and a business article at the same time. Google Plus makes it far easier to send one to your friends and the other to your work associates.
Verdict: Google Plus wins. Managing social groups within Facebook is beyond cumbersome; most don't even know it's possible. Plus is upfront and clear.
3. Your Plus feed's default is set to "public" – anyone can view it – and just recently Facebook's default has changed to be the same (previously it had been only friends). In this sense, both are more like Twitter in that you have to take active steps to hide your posts from the outside world. Both have default settings that can be adjusted so that "Friends only" is your primary posting method.
Verdict: Draw. Both behave in almost the exact same fashion with Facebooks' recent changes.
It's simply piece of mind, but a big question with any social network is, "Can I walk away? Or is this like the mafia where I can never truly get out?" Both services allow you to export your information and "take it home with you." But it's worth noting how each allows you to remove your personal data.
Facebook has, for lack of a better word, buried the functionality; it's deep within your settings. Google Plus, on the other hand, has the function one click away from your home screen, with different customizable exports, depending on whether you want to remove your photos, posts, profile, etc.
Again, this is probably just piece of mind (they could remove this function at any time and there's nothing you could do about it), but that Plus puts user privacy and the ability to remove yourself from the Internet up front, makes the service "feel" far friendlier.
Verdict: Google Plus wins. Both networks give you the option to delete your files and profile, but Google is far more upfront and clear about how to manage and remove your information; Facebook essentially hides it.
Both Facebook and Google Plus will continue to battle for user share, and with that there will be further developments in how you can keep your information safe and secure. For now, Plus is in the lead. While both networks ultimately give you the same tools to manage your privacy, Google Plus jumps ahead with its uncomplicated settings system. And that's enough to give it an edge... for now.
