After traveling with their children's teams from one arena to the next, three local soccer dads have decided to open an indoor sports center to give M.O.T. athletes a place to play.
After traveling with their children's teams from one arena to the next, three local soccer dads have decided to open an indoor sports center to give M.O.T. athletes a place to play.
The Middletown Sports Complex will house several fields in the back half of the Bob Wagner Flooring warehouse off of U.S. Route 301.
The back half of the building, which canvases about 15,000 square-feet with ceilings 30-feet high, will have two fields. One will be a large multi-purpose field that can host a variety of sports including soccer, baseball, and lacrosse. The smaller field will be used for a variety of other sports including kickball and dodge ball.
"We realize how much sports is needed in town," said Chief Financial Officer and Middletown resident Brian Ellis "There is nothing like this in 30-miles."
He said they plan on having a soft opening towards the end of June. They are planning three grand-openings for sometime in either July or August – one for each of their main sports.
Having an indoor arena gives athletes a one-up over the elements. They can continue to play even if the temperatures soar or snow falls.
Ellis, along with Chief Operating Officer Brian Laity and President Scott Lobdell, all have elementary school aged children who play on traveling soccer teams.
Sometimes, their children and their peers have to travel up to an hour to play soccer, baseball or lacrosse in their traveling leagues or just to use the batting cages for practice.
Laity, a Middletown resident, fears this is the reason M.O.T. athletes are being lost to other clubs out of the area.
"With this open, Middletown will get stronger and we'll be able to keep the kids here," he said.
The complex's main field will be able to be netted off into batting cages. The large field is long enough that it can be split down the middle, they said. They plan on putting five nets across it for pitching and batting practicing.
The sports complex will have more than just places to play ball. The three partners are renting out part of the front half of the Bob Wagner warehouse as well, where they will have sitting room, party areas and concession stands.
"We're kicking around a lot of ideas," Ellis said.
One of these ideas even involves putting in a two-chair barbershop where parents can get a hair cut while they wait for their children. The men said their wives are not opposed to a massage parlor either.
Once the center is up and running, they plan on employing about 15 people. There will also be referees on the payroll that will work per-diem.
Trainers have been expressing interest in using the space.
Another unique perk of the sports complex will be in-house video, Lobdell said.
"You'll be able to see the field streaming on our website," he said. "Grandparents can watch the kids."
Being from Pittsburgh originally, Laity says that his parents can't see enough of their grandson play.
Down the road he says they are also toying with the idea of opening a training facility on site. If things go well, they may also expand to having outdoor fields.
To start though, there will be leagues offered for children, adults and seniors and free play for anyone who wants to pay a small price to run around for an hour.
During the school year, the men plan on being open from 3 p.m. – 10 p.m., but during the summer time their hours will be extended. On weekends, they will probably open around 8 a.m.
The trio plans on hosting summer sports camps at the Sports Complex, so they plan on being open from noon to midnight during these seasons.
The town of Middletown approved a conditional use permit last month for the Middletown Sports Complex. They have also received approval from the state fire marshal's office. The only thing left to do is to apply for a building permit from the town.
A Facebook presence has already been made by the new business using what the men call their "text-talk name": MTownSC.
As of last week, the trio was finalizing the kind of synthetic grass turf they will be using for the fields. Equipment will be supplied to players and the plan is to have jerseys for adults participating in free play.
"We want to bring people in the sports world ideas to best suit their needs," Ellis said.

The Four Nations Ensemble with guest speakers
The Four Nations Ensemble marks the 300th Birthday of CPE Bach with a discussion and performance of masterpieces by one of the 18th century's most adventuresome, demanding, respected yet presently under appreciated composers.
If Dennis Diderot felt compelled to stop in Hamburg on his way back from St. Petersburg to visit the composer, how did we, in the 20th century, lose CPE Bach as the link between the Baroque and the Romantic musical mind? In this event, we will trace Carl Philippe's style from the careful study he gave to his father's work, to the role he played satisfying the stultifying old fashioned Rococo tastes of Frederick the Great, to his final period of composition in Hamburg that defines the fluidity and unpredictability of a romantic approach to music.
Join Andrew Appel (harpsichord and clavichord), Tatiana Chulochnikova (violin), Antonio Campillo (traverso), Loretta O'Sullivan (cello), Joshua Lee (viola da gamba) and James H. Johnson (musicologist and author of Listening in Paris) for a celebration of the genius without whom, as Mozart tells us in his letters, we could not have the music we so love today.
"A fine evening then that made no compromises in the discussion, demonstrations or program, and a birthday party that would certainly have pleased the composer of the day."

One of the most recognizable names in the world of theater criticism is stepping down. John Lahr, the senior theater critic for the New Yorker for close to 20 years, is quitting regular reviewing for the magazine to concentrate on profile writing and book projects.
The New Yorker made the announcement this week on its arts blog, Culture Desk. Lahr joined the magazine in 1992 during the Tina Brown era and has contributed numerous pieces of criticism as well as longer profiles on famous cultural figures including Ingmar Bergman, Woody Allen, Judi Dench and Helen Mirren.
As a critical voice, Lahr has been generally less feared than some of his more vicious peers at the New York Times and other local publications. Lahr reviewed the original production of Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" in Los Angeles, and the Broadway run of Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia."
This week, he reviewed the new Broadway revival of "Annie" ("listless") and Samuel Hunter's off-Broadway play "The Whale" ("compelling, psychologically complex").
The magazine has not announced a replacement, but Lahr isn't the only staff theater critic at the New Yorker. Hilton Als joined the magazine in 2002 and most recently reviewed the new Broadway revival of "The Heiress," starring Jessica Chastain and Dan Stevens.
Lahr, who is the son of "Wizard of Oz" actor Bert Lahr, divides his time between New York and London, according to his official website.

() Multiple-turnover cleavage rate () of the DNAzyme motor tested using 200 pM target DNA and different divalent metal ions as cofactors. The concentrations of metal ions were 0.5 mM Mn, 10 mM Mg and Ca, 0.01 mM Zn and 0.2 mM Pb. A mutant DNAzyme motor (sequence in Supplementary Table 1 ) was also tested using 200 pM target DNA and 0.5 mM Mn. Error bars represent 1 s.d. from duplicate experiments. () Real-time fluorescence generated by the DNAzyme motor that was initiated by 200 pM target DNA and activated by different concentrations of the cofactor Mn. The RSDs were 2.4–6.6%.
We examined the specificity of the DNAzyme motor by testing five variants of single-base mismatch. These five variants were designed to have the mismatch base at different representative sites. The fluorescence increase resulting from the 200 pM target sequence is significantly larger than those increases from the five variants at the same concentration (
Fine Jewelry LabCreated Ruby amp; Pink amp; White Sapphire Sterling Silver Interlocking Heart Pendant Necklace e567kX
), which indicates that far fewer motors are initiated by the mismatch variants. Thus, the DNAzyme motor can effectively differentiate the fully matched target from these variants of single-base mismatch. The selection factor ranges from 5.1 to 16.7 depending on the mismatch site ( Fine Jewelry Genuine Amethyst 14K Rose Gold Over Silver Leverback Earrings F1TvMjG
). The high specificity of the DNAzyme motor is attributed to the design of the locking strand that contains a sequestering domain in addition to the target-binding domain ( Novica Bauxite and ceramic beaded necklace New Ideas African Bauxite Beaded Necklace Ayfdv5Q
() Operating curves of the DNAzyme motor tested with the target DNA sequence and five variants of single-base mismatch. Sequences of the mismatch variants are shown in Supplementary Table 1 . RSDs were 1.4–7.6%. () Operating curves of the DNAzyme motor in response to varying concentrations (0–500 pM) of the target miRNA. Different concentrations (0–500 pM) of the target miRNA were added into motor solutions each containing the equivalent of 230 pM AuNP. The solutions were incubated for 20 min to ensure the strand displacement reaction was completed. Then 500 μM Mn was added into the solutions to activate the DNAzyme. The time at which Mn was added is referred to as time 0. RSDs were 1.1–9.3%.
Having optimized the operating conditions of the DNAzyme motor responding to the DNA target, we further examined the operation of the DNAzyme motor in response to various concentrations of the target miRNA. As expected, higher concentrations of the target miRNA led to larger fluorescence increases (
Fig. 4b
), consistent with more DNAzyme motors being initiated by the higher concentrations of the target miRNA. A linear relationship was observed between fluorescence intensity and target miRNA concentration from 5 to 200 pM (
Supplementary Fig. 11
). The operation of the motor initiated by 1 pM target can generate a fluorescence increase distinguishable from the blank, indicating the high sensitivity of the motor. The motor responds similarly to both the target miRNA (

BASKETBALL: Elida holds off Redskins' rally
ELIDA — The result may have been predictable.
How it happened, on the other hand, was anything but.
The Wapakoneta Redskins held the Western Buckeye League favorite Elida Bulldogs in check and mounted a late rally but came up just short in a 46-41 loss Friday at the Elida Fieldhouse.
"I think we're getting close to getting over that proverbial hump," Redskins varsity coach Matt Bradley said. "I think we realized tonight that we played a team that arguably is the best team in the WBL, preseason favorite to win it, going to be ranked in the state, has athletes and players at every spot.
"I think we realized tonight that when we compete hard for 32 minutes, the sky is the limit for this team."
Wapak fell to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in the WBL. Elida is 5-0 and 1-0.
After scoring just 22 points through the first 27 minutes of the game, the Redskins went on a 16-2 run to draw within five, 43-38, with 1:30 to play.
Wapak had a chance to draw within a score. But Elida's Ebin Stratton forced a turnover on Wapak's next possession and Dakota Mathias connected on 3-of-4 free throw attempts in the final 34 seconds to secure the win.
"It was a total lack of focus," Elida varsity coach Denny Thompson said. "You see that happen, a team gets a lead and then they relax. It's hard to get it back. ...
"Give Wapak credit. They did not quit."
Wapak's defense shut down the vaunted Bulldogs' attack and held University of Akron-bound forward Reggie McAdams to just four points.
"We really preached at them all week — and by 'preached' I mean 'stood on a soapbox and yelled at them' — that they've got to compete on the defensive end," Bradley said. "And we certainly did that tonight. I couldn't tell you the last time when Reggie only scored four points in a game."
"I can't remember him scoring four points before," Thompson said.
While the Redskins have relied primarily on man-to-man defense, with an occasional 1-3-1 zone thrown in, Bradley used a spread-out 2-3 zone heavily Friday night.
"We've been very predictable the first two or three games, so we wanted to mix things up," Bradley said. "But with them it's so difficult because they've got so many weapons."
Said Thompson, "What it did was it kept us from being somewhat aggressive. We stood and looked at the zone for awhile. Generally that's what you want the other team to do. So we fell right into that."
But the Redskins struggled offensively, shooting just 14-of-48 (29.2 percent) from the floor. They were 5-of-19 (26.3 percent) on 3-pointers.
"I thought we got the shots that we wanted," Bradley said. "We just didn't make them."
The first half was a defensive duel with Elida taking a 22-14 lead into the lockerroom. The Bulldogs used a 7-0 run in the middle part of the second quarter to put some space between themselves and the Redskins.
Neither team shot the ball well in the first two quarters. Wapak was 6-for-25 (24 percent) in the first half and Elida was 9-of-21 (42.9 percent).
Mathias hit back-to-back 3-pointers to open the third quarter, giving the Bulldogs a 28-14 lead.
"We always talk about winning the first three minutes of the third quarter," Bradley said. "They did and they won the game."
Wapak's lone field goal of the quarter was Travis Bertram's baseline runner with 19 seconds left.
Bertram, who had trudged his way through a 2-for-10 shooting performance through three quarters, suddenly caught fire in the fourth.
He connected on three 3-pointers in a 97-second span and added a layup off a turnover to cut Elida's lead to 43-38 with 1:30 left.
Alex Greve and Jake Buzzard each added five points in the fourth quarter.
Bertram led all scorers with 17 points and was the only Redskin in double figures. Greve added nine and Buzzard chipped in eight.
Bertram and Buzzard grabbed seven rebounds apiece.
Mathias led Elida with 16 points and a team-high eight rebounds. Stratton finished with eight points.
Shawnee transfer Cory Royster did not start for Elida after he missed a practice earlier in the week for disciplinary reasons. He came off the bench in the second quarter and finished with five points and seven rebounds.
Bradley missed two days of practice this week to be with his wife, Jeni, after the birth of their third daughter.
"A lot of credit goes to my assistant coaches," Bradley said. "They had them ready to go."
The Redskins play at 6:30 tonight at St. Henry.
In the junior varsity contest, Elida held off the Redskins 34-32 in overtime.
Wapak rallied from a 27-22 fourth-quarter deficit to tie the game at 29-29 on a nice inside dish from Adam Henderson to Kodi Morgan.
After the Redskins forced an Elida miss on the other end, Zach Schmerge launched a half-court shot that was off the mark at the buzzer.
Elida's Louis Gray hit a 3-pointer on the opening possession of overtime. Wapak had the ball down 34-32 with five seconds to play but turned it over and Elida ran out the clock.

Equivalent Numerical Expressions, Day 2 of 2
Lesson 14 of 16
Objective: SWBAT: • Find the area of squares and rectangles. • Simplify an expression using the order of operations. • Write and evaluate numerical expressions from area models. • Explain and give examples of the distributive and commutative properties.
Big Idea: How can you represent the area of a diagram using numerical expressions? Students connect their knowledge of area and equivalent expressions to the commutative and distributive properties for day 2 of this investigation.
Do Now
This two-part lesson is based on the Laws of Arithmetic lesson that is part of the Mathematics Assessment Project. In today's lesson we follow my standard Do Now Strategy to begin the lesson. Although I often create Do Nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day, here I want students to review this area diagram that they encountered on the preassessment (see Equivalent Numerical Expressions Day 1). By analyzing someone's idea and writing their thinking, students are engaging in MP3 (Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others).
I have students participate in a Think-Write-Pair-Share about Daniel's idea. I want students to recognize that according to the order of operations, Daniel's expression will not match the area diagram. I ask students how Daniel could add something to his expression to make it match. I am looking for students to see that by adding parentheses, (5+3) x (5+3), it will work. If I have time, I ask for students to share other equivalent expressions that match the area diagram.
Resources (5)
At this stage of this two-day lesson my goal is for my students to make connections between the work they have been doing with equivalent expressions and the commutative and distributive properties. Rather than give students wordy definitions, however, I present two examples of each property and have students come up with their own definition (see Commutative and Distributive Properties). I remind my students that we can use letters, or variables, to represent any number. I plan to ask, "How could we represent this property with variables?" If students are noticing patterns and relationships, they will be able to come up with their own example using variables (MP7, MP8).

Matching Part 2
As we move on to this activity, I have students join their partner from yesterday's lesson (see the lesson for an explanation of how the groups were formed). To begin our work, I have a volunteer review the rules and expectations on 1.14 Matching Part 2. Then, I ask students to share out the strategies that students used yesterday. We discussed these at the end of the lesson, so I am interested in seeing if students volunteer strategies that their peers' used. Finally, I ask students if they have any questions. Once the questions are asked and answered, I pass out the materials and students start working.
Teacher's Note:
- Before this lesson, I print and cut out one set of Expressions Cards and one set of Area Diagrams Cards for each partner pair. I like to print them on card stock and label the sets and place them in envelopes. For example, for Set 1 I put #1 on the back of each card and label the envelope #1. That way when (inevitably) a card falls on the floor, it can easily be returned to the proper envelope.
- For this lesson, I only give partner pairs an envelope with the following cards: A4, A5, A6, E3, E4, E5, E9, E12, and 3 blank E cards (they will need at least one to create a matching expression for A5). I do this so students can focus on a smaller amount of cards. When I gave students all the cards at once, many of them were overwhelmed. Adjust the amount of cards to meet the needs of your students.
- For the Challenge, I give partner pairs a separate envelope with the following cards: A3 and a few blank A cards, as well as E6, E10, E11, E13, E14 and a few blank E cards.
As students work on the Matching Task, I walk around and monitor student progress. I am observing what strategies students are using and I am monitoring behavior.
Many students may struggle at first, and this is okay. If a partner pair is stuck, at first I will not intervene. I want students to find ways of applying what they know to find matches. If students raise their hand and ask for help, I may ask some of the following questions:
- What area card are you working with?
- What is the total area of the diagram? How do you know?
- How do you know if an expression card matches this diagram?
If students successfully find the matches, I ask them to use blank cards to create a different expression that is equivalent to each area diagram. If they complete this task, I will have them pair up with another partner pair to compare their matches. For partner pairs who need an extra challenge, I will give them the Matching Challenge cards.
Resources (5)
Making a Poster
I have a volunteer read the directions on the Making a Poster handout. I set up the card sets, scissors, glue, and poster papers in the room. I will call partner pairs a few at a time to collect the needed materials.
Teacher's Notes:
- Before the lesson, I print out one copy of the Area Diagram Card Set and one copy of the Expressions Card Set for each partner pair. I print them on plain white paper. Partners will need scissors and glue/tape for their posters.
- I will make an exemplar poster (creating my own area diagram and expression cards) for students to look at.
As students work I walk around and monitor student progress. I make sure that partners are working on different matches. If students struggle, I refer them to my exemplar.
If students successfully complete the poster, I give them the following choices:
- Create another poster for a different match
- Work on the Challenge Matching cards
- Create another poster where they create their own area diagram and equivalent expressions

I begin today's Closure by asking students to explain the Commutative Property of Addition, the Commutative Property of Multiplication, and the Distributive Property in their own words. I ask students to share out struggles that they encountered during this two day investigation and how they overcame them.
I have students clean up and organize their cards. Instead of giving a ticket to go, I collect and look at student work.
I hand out the HW Post-Assessment. When I look at the post-assessments I will make comments/questions on student's thinking. I will staple students' pre-assessment to the post-assessment so students can observe and compare their thinking from the Pre-Assessment and the Post-Assessment.

White Sox win opener according to plan
It's only one game, so let's not pretend the 2013 White Sox have established any type of pattern yet.
New general manager Rick Hahn was sitting in the Sox' dugout Monday at U.S. Cellular Field before the season opener against the Royals, and he laid out the plan for a successful 162-game run.
"From the beginning of the off-season, our goal was to put together a pitching staff and a defense that at least was going to keep us in games, especially in this ballpark, against anyone," Hahn said.
And just like that, the White Sox went out and beat Kansas City 1-0 on the strength of pitching and defense.
Chris Sale was expectedly spectacular in his first opening-day start, working 7 innings and allowing 7 hits while striking out seven and walking one. The 24-year-old lefty was efficient as well, throwing 104 pitches while outdueling new K.C. ace James Shields.
"It was fun; it was exciting," Sale said after combining with relievers Nate Jones, Matt Thornton and closer Addison Reed for the shutout. "It was everything I thought it would be and more.
"I thought I did a real good job of kind of collecting myself and not getting too amped up too early or too late, and it ended up being a pretty good day."
Sox catcher Tyler Flowers -- who decided the outcome with a solo home run leading off the fifth inning -- was impressed by the way Sale stayed cool in a high-pressure start.
"The hitting and all that, that's a bonus, and it happened today it was the 1 run we needed," said Flowers, who is taking over for A.J. Pierzynski. "Getting Chris that quality start, especially to open up the season for him, his first opening-day start, I know he was pretty jacked up at the beginning.
"I was trying to keep him calm, and I was real pleased with how he threw all day."
For as effectively as he navigated through the Royals' potent lineup, Sale did run into trouble from time to time.
Thanks to a defense that committed the fewest errors (70) in the major leagues last season while tying Seattle for the best fielding percentage (.988), Sale emerged with a well-deserved win.
"We have to play defense," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Teams that don't play good defense, you just keep giving them opportunities. For us, we can't give opportunities. For us, I think pitching and defense are going to be key, and finding a way to score some runs. We have enough to score and do things offensively.
"But it always breaks your momentum if you're not good at pitching and defense. It's going to hurt you."
The Sox turned 2 double plays behind Sale, and second baseman Gordon Beckham's big play in the seventh inning likely saved the game for the Sox.
After Eric Hosmer led off the seventh with a single, Lorenzo Cain hit a line shot up the middle that looked like extra bases. Beckham dove to his right and made the catch, and the threat ended when Jeff Francoeur grounded into a 5-4-3 double play.
"I'm glad I made (the play)," Beckham said. "It's a reaction play and all of the sudden it pops in your glove and you've either got it or you don't. No telling, that's either first and second or first and third with nobody out. It's a good time to make that play."
Said Sale: "That's just Gordon. He's a maniac over there. You almost come to expect that now. He's just been so good, so solid, for so long. He definitely saved the game right there."

Disciplinary Major or Minor
Bachelor of Arts
Professors Carol Emmons
Associate Professors Kristy Deetz (chair), Alison Gates, Jennifer Mokren, Christine Style
Assistant Professor Sarah Detweiler
Instructional Staff Stephen Perkins (curator of art), Mark Sauter
Web site: www.uwgb.edu/art/
Art Major Requirements | Art Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
The visual arts are important components of human experience. They provide a means of articulating and understanding that experience through processes of seeing, making, and thinking in terms of visual systems. The disciplinary major or minor in Art includes courses in studio art and art history, other cultures, and contemporary art.
Studio art courses:
- present art making as a problem-solving process using creative methods combining intuition and imagination with critical analysis;
- provide knowledge necessary to master materials and techniques;
- provide a foundation for and continuing reference to the principles of visual organization and structure essential to works of art;
- foster a receptive attitude toward diverse forms of artistic production including fine art, applied art, and art produced outside the artistic mainstream.
Art history, other cultures, and contemporary art courses:
- provide a conceptual and philosophical context by investigating stylistic characteristics of specific periods and the dynamic relationship between art and society. Refer to the Arts and Visual Design (AVD) course listings for related courses taught by Art faculty.
The Art discipline has three areas of emphasis:
- Studio Art can lead to professional practice as an artist or to related visual communication careers.
- Gallery/Museum Practices offers preparation for a wide range of careers in museums, art centers, galleries, collections, and other art organizations.
- Art Education leads to credentials for teaching licensure from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
A fourth career direction is open to Art majors who select a minor or double major in Design Arts. Possible careers include graphic design, art direction, advertising, and other professional work in graphic communications.
A fifth career option is open to Art majors who select a minor or a double major in Arts Management. Possible careers include arts administration and gallery director.
All areas prepare students for viable careers or for entry into graduate school programs. Students in Art should take as many and varied art courses as possible.
Art majors typically select an interdisciplinary minor in Design Arts or Arts Management. Minors in Human Development, Business Administration, Women's and Gender Studies, and Humanistic Studies may be appropriate depending upon students' individual goals.
Students should seek faculty advising no later than the sophomore year in order to complete an Art major in a timely manner.
Students in many fields find an Art minor an excellent supplement to their academic programs in the context of today's visually oriented, media-driven culture.
The Art minor may serve:
- individuals fulfilling a personal interest in art;
- those seeking to add visual skills to career preparations in such interdisciplinary fields as arts management, design arts, humanistic studies, urban and regional studies, and environmental planning;
- persons who intend it as a component of professional studies in fields such as education and business (advertising and marketing).
Art facilities include well-equipped studios in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, photography (traditional and digital), jewelry/metals, fibers/textiles, and printmaking. All Art students who complete ART 101 (Tools, Safety, and Materials) have access to a professional wood and metal-working laboratory managed by a staff person who provides training and technical assistance.
The Gallery/Museum Practices emphasis provides opportunities to work in the Lawton Gallery and the 407 Gallery under the direction of the curator of art. Internships in regional art organizations and museums are also possible in this emphasis.
Active student organizations provide additional opportunities for art-related activities, as does a program of national and international visiting artists.
Students seeking information on teacher certification should contact the Education Office.

Support on the top
I thought that the support would be on the palm side, but actually it is on the top of the hand. How does this help break a childs fall?
Adult have wrist guards on the bottom of the hand, so why is this on top?
Didn't fit my kids
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
They were too small and narrow for my 11 year old boys.
what size would fit for my 5 year old...
what size would fit for my 5 year old daughter?
If she is a relatively small 5 year old I would suggest the XS. If she is moderate sized for her age and you would like them to fit a couple seasons then I would order the S.

text: Toxic substances capable of producing depression include lead, cadmium, mercury, and a wide variety of organic and inorganic chemicals. Overloads of this type can produce a sudden, prolonged bout of depression without apparent reason even in those without a prior history of depression. Treatments vary according to the toxic substance involved. Heavy-metal overloads can be corrected quickly by in-hospital chelation, though care must be exercised to avoid flooding the kidneys with toxins during the early stages of treatment. A long-term 'cure' of a toxic overload often requires high-dose antioxidants as well as lifestyle adjustments to help the individual avoid toxic triggers.

If you're missing your son or daughter at school, you may just relate to this.
Between working on his businesses and releasing a new book, Steve Harvey had quite the busy summer. But one of the highlights from the past couple of months has been his quality time with his son Wynton Harvey.
On Monday's all-new "Steve Harvey Show," the talk-show host recalls one of the final conversations he had with Wynton before he started college. It's a moment Harvey can't help but still get emotional over.
"I really expect a lot of great things from you and remember what your name is. You are a Harvey. You are my son." Harvey shared. "And you remember that I love you man. I love you. Boy, I love my son."
VIDEO: Remember Steve Harvey's emotional Father's Day surprise?
After watching the heartfelt clip with his wife Marjorie, the 58-year-old host comes close to shedding a few tears.
"I'm good. I'm not crying," he joked to the audience with watery eyes. "That dude, man."
Another special father-son moment occurred when Wynton turned the big 18. Keeping with tradition, Steve decided to bond with his son over a cigar.
VIDEO: Steve Harvey receives epic birthday surprise
"Now, you don't have to agree with that. I'm not asking for your approval. You raise your kids the way you want to," Harvey explained to viewers. "I sit with my sons and have a cigar when they turn 18."
As it turns out, the moment was something Wynton was waiting a long time to experience
"I asked Wynton before the cigars, 'Son, suppose you don't like the cigar?' He said, 'Dad, I could not lie. I've been waiting for this moment for as long as I can remember. I watched you smoke with my old brothers and I just wanted that more than anything," Harvey recalled of the late summer night. "That was our moment. That was the last kind of big moment with my son before he went off for school."

A teacher's aide accused of sending inappropriate messages to a juvenile was arrested Friday by an Ocala police detective.
A teacher's aide accused of sending inappropriate messages to a juvenile was arrested Friday by an Ocala police detective.
Authorities said Christopher A. Votos, 58, a teacher's aide at Fort King Middle School, was suspended from his job once the allegation surfaced. Released on $5,000 bond from the Marion County Jail at 1:10 a.m. Saturday, Votos declined to comment.
A woman, who called saying she was Votos' wife but wouldn't give her name, told a reporter that Votos has been a teacher's aide for four years and that he's on temporary administrative leave until the case is resolved.
The woman said she blamed the teenager involved for stalking her husband and she said that his side of the story will come out in court, adding "if it ever goes that far."
"He's devastated," she said.
After being notified about the allegation, Detective Jorge Fernandez interviewed the minor, age 15, and she told him she has been texting Votos since last year and he has bought her MP3 players, clothing and food during their friendship.
The teen told Fernandez they kissed and texted each other. In one of the text messages, the two were supposed to meet for sex, but they never did, she told police.
The woman who said she was Votos' wife argued that her husband was trying to show the teen that what she wanted to do was wrong.
"He was trying to show her how wrong it was," she said.
Fernandez interviewed Votos at the police department. Authorities said Votos told the detective the teen finished at the middle school and left the state, yet they still kept in contact with each other.
Votos said the teen was being inappropriate with him by caressing his arm and hanging on his shoulders. He also said she told him personal things about her life and that she loved him.
At first, he said, he declined to give her his personal number, but he later gave it to her.
He admitted to buying her several MP3 players, clothing and food, police said.
In regard to the text messages about them having sex, Votos said he played along because he wanted to see who was behind the text. He also told the detective that he would have felt bad if he had had sex with her.
Officials took Votos to the jail and arrested him on charges of inappropriate use of computer services or devices.

Best of the Decade: For Benedict, success comes from players
In 267 wins and nearly 20 seasons as a head coach, there has only been one place for Columbia City boys' basketball coach Chris Benedict to call home.
"I was very comfortable for 11 years here," Benedict said. "I had an opportunity to go do something different and took advantage of it but at the end of the day my family and I looked at our time here and said that it was home."
Around Columbia City and Northeast Indiana, Benedict might be best known for one season and an Eagles team that traveled all the way to a state finals appearance in 2004. Readers of The Post & Mail recognize it by naming Benedict as one of the top coaches of the decade.
"It was a neat time and a great group of kids to be a part of," Benedict said. "It was unbelievable for our community to go through that."
The town that surrounded the Eagles on their historic run might remember it every day, but does the coach?
"Oh, yeah," answered Benedict when asked if he thought back to that season much. "It's one of those things where if you have something that special, you want to try and duplicate it as much as you can.
"Players are different and need to be their own team but at the same time the characteristics of what your team is about can be similar."
It's not just X's and O's with Benedict, however. With three sectional championships to his name, the Eagles' longtime head coach turns to the players for credit in making a name for the program.
"It's just a fun place to be a part of," Benedict commented. "The thing about our program is we've got guys that were high profile then we got guys that were role players but just as important to the team success and they all come back. You remember all of them just as much as the next player. All those guys are important to what we do here."
When Benedict decided to leave Columbia City for two seasons to coach at Valparaiso, his seniors from 2004 showed their support in a trip to one of his games.
"The neat thing was when I was at Valpo those six guys just came up and watched a game," Benedict said. "I'm going into a new environment where people don't know me as well and it was nice to see those six guys show up.
"When the opportunity arose to come back I took it. When you have something that special you miss it."
The success of the Columbia City program culminated into a seat on the bench during the 2006 Indiana-Kentucky High School All-Stars game for Benedict.
Selected as head coach of the Indiana All-Stars, Benedict was put in charge of leading the team that was headlined by current NBA stars Greg Oden, Ty Conley and Luke Harangody.
"It's enjoyable to look back on now," Benedict said. "You watch games on TV and see guys you coached at one time is neat.
"I wouldn't have had the opportunity without our guys. If we're not winning games and we're not doing what we're doing then I don't get that opportunity. So, it's a direct reflection of the players we've had in our program."
Other nominees were longtime CCHS cross country and girls' track coach Bob Fahl and Columbia City softball coach Steve Cox.
Fahl was described by voters as someone who "cares about the students on and off the field," and "lifting kids up to do their best year after year," and also as "going the extra mile to work with each student."
Cox, shared other coaches concern for his players not only on the field but off as well. Cox was described as being a "very compassionate and caring coach," and noted for "emphasizing education before softball."

I'm not suggesting you do this.
Really? Where'd you learn that? Because, uhh...unless my body's playing tricks on me, I swear I can't be going into "starvation mode". My pants have been getting looser at the waist. And my husband pointed out that my waist doesn't seem to be as big as before. Trust me, if my husband's noticing that I'm still shrinking at the waist, obviously that means weightloss, right? Therefore, no "starvation mode", and no clinging of fat.

Tigrebella, I'm proud of your progress! Though I don't agree with this diet, I do know that it can be beneficial in the short term, and to me you look a whole lot healthier. Nice job with that!
Thanks, Zack. That means a lot to me. Really, it does. Like I've said before, I'm not trying to force this on myself, and am just eating what/when I feel my body wants to eat. I wouldn't dream of going back to obsessing over food like I used to, constantly walking into the kitchen and wanting to eat just to have something in my mouth...what I'm learning from this experience is that my life doesn't revolve around food, and that when I'm truely hungry my body will let me know. I never said I'd go about it like this for longterm (like I guess many others may have been thinking?)...that all depends on what I feel my body wants. If my body pushes me to want to eat a lot more, I will...but I won't force food in my mouth when I'm obviously not hungry. It hurts me to feel that people might think I have an eating disorder when I don't (I don't obsess about my weight anymore like I used to, I don't look at food and think of how fat it will make me, I don't obsess over things like that, and my husband has been very watchful in making sure I'm ok and has noticed my more positive and energetic attitude). That's why I wish I had stopped posting my daily meals before this commotion...I'm paranoid enough about how people look at me and what they think of me, and I'm finally getting out of my paranoia and don't want to continue feeling that way forever. My husband has noticed my tremendous changes lately, and is very proud of me...I now love and respect my body (rather than hate it), I barely think about my weight issues anymore (and instead feel beautiful no matter what my weight will end up as), and I'm becoming more active than I've ever been. I think that that's definitely nowhere near an eating disorder.

Opening Night at Municipal
Michael Taylor, 29, technical engineer What brings you out tonight? I live around the corner. I heard this place had opened up. I heard they had some good beers. How does this bar compare to others in the area? I think that the layout is a lot different than the typical bars in this area. The typical bars in the area are clubby, and this more like the kind of bar that you drink at. It's not so much a dance party type of thing. What are you drinking and why? I'm drinking a Sam Adams Winter Lager, because anytime I find Sam Adams, Winter Lager or, particularly, a seasonal beer, I drink that. What's your New Year's resolution? My New Year's resolution is always to be nicer to people. I get accused of being a jerk every once in a while.

Luis Suarez's double powered Liverpool to a 4-0 victory over Fulham, and Southampton easily overcame Hull 4-1 to continue the south coast club's impressive start to the season.
Liverpool and Southampton sent Chelsea down to fourth place as the west London club was held to 2-2 at home.
Goals from Shane Long and Stephane Sessegnon put West Brom on course for a first win at Chelsea in 35 years until Steven Reid was penalized for fouling Ramires in the fourth minute of stoppage time and Eden Hazard equalized from the penalty spot.
Arsenal will finish the weekend top of the standings regardless of whether the north London club can win at Manchester United on Sunday, given its two-point lead over Liverpool.
Chelsea is four points behind the front-runners, although it could have been worse for Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese manager's 65-game unbeaten league home record at Chelsea was looking under threat until referee Andre Marriner pointed to the spot in stoppage time.
Chelsea had gone in front through a moment of good fortune.
Hazard cut in from the left and saw his shot parried by Boaz Myhill. West Brom defender Liam Ridgewell then dithered and remained static, leaving Samuel Eto'o to score his third goal of the week.
The second half began brightly for West Brom, with Long heading against the outside of the post and then finding the target on the hour.
From Morgan Amalfitano's corner, Gareth McAuley's powerful header was pushed high into the air by Cech. As the ball came back down, Long rose to head it in.
Eight minutes later, West Brom was in front — as Ridgewell made up for the blunder that allowed Chelsea to go in front.
After breaking down the left flank, Ridgewell fed Sessegnon, whose shot easily beat Cech.
In front, but never comfortable, West Brom had to soak up sustained Chelsea pressure to protect the lead.
"Our reaction could be 'die or fight for life,'" Mourinho said. "And our team fought for life."
Fortune favoured Chelsea with the late penalty won by Ramires.
"He started going down early, he started going down before the contact," said West Brom manager Steve Clarke, Mourinho's assistant at Chelsea during his first stint in charge from 2004-07.
At Anfield, Fulham gifted Liverpool the lead when Fernando Amorebieta headed the ball inadvertently into his own goal in the 23rd minute after Steven Gerrard sent a free kick into the penalty area.
Three minutes later there was another goal, from another header — this time from a Liverpool player as defender Martin Skrtel met Gerrard's corner.
Suarez, who initially thought he diverted Amorebieta's header into the goal, then did get on the scoresheet by slotting home in the 36th.
The Uruguay striker took his tally to eight goals in six league matches since returning from a 10-game biting ban by wrapping up the win in the 54th after Gerrard turned provider again.
Southampton is just a point behind Liverpool.
Morgan Schneiderlin headed Southampton in front after 16 minutes against Hull after being set up by Adam Lallana, who then won a penalty after being brought down by goalkeeper Steve Harper.
Rickie Lambert converted from the spot on the half hour, before Lallana scored a goal of his own seven minutes later, a fine solo effort after jinking through the defence.
Yannick Sagbo pulled one back for Hull from distance early in the second half but Steven Davis completed the comfortable Southampton win in the 88th after meeting Nathaniel Clyne's cross.
At Villa Park, Aston Vila's four-game scoring drought ended when Leandro Bacuna and Libor Kozak clinched a 2-0 win over Cardiff.
There were no goals, though, at Selhurst Park as bottom-place Crystal Palace held fifth-place Everton to end a seven-match losing run. Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard started despite hitting his head before the game when he walked into the wing mirror of the team bus.
Norwich staged a second-half comeback to beat West Ham 3-1 and ease the immediate pressure on manager Chris Hughton. Norwich was booed off by its fans at halfltime at 1-0 down but was a much more cohesive unit after the break.

Tombstone Tuesday - Lydia Newby Cantrell
The Newby family seemed to leave the area where they were born, some came back such as Lydia and Arnold Cantrell. Mattie lived in Denver and her brother Tom lived Roundup, Montana but they were buried in the Chattanooga Valley Cemetery with their Mother. Others left the Valley and only returned for visits, therefore, I don't have many tombstone pictures for the Newby's.

I am lucky because most of my Bruce and Ballard relatives seemed to stay at least in one state, Virginia.
Can you imagine how much trouble people in the future will have trying to find our generation??? We all seem to move around alot more --and it's easier getting from place to place these days... Right now, I have one son in Texas, one in TN and one in Nevada..... Mercy!!!!!

I guess we do get around more now.
It surprises me how much the Newby family got around. They lived in Georgia and Texas growing up. Then there were 7 children in the family and my grandmother was the only one who stayed in Chattanooga Valley. Two sisters and a brother lived in Ohio, one brother in Kentucky one brother in Alabama and one in Maryland. One sister (Lydia)lived in Ohio then Az. then back to Georgia. I'm sure they went north for jobs.

Cook's Country Magazine arrived, I read it from cover-to-cover. This magazine belongs to the family of America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated. I love their recipes, so I read every article from start to finish. According to the Boston Baked Beans article, "most recipes call for at least six hours of cooking time in the oven. The test kitchen decided to develop a version that would cook in two hours! After reading the ingredients list, I realized I had everything on hand. My husband was making pulled pork, on the Weber. I planned to make the Carolina Red Slaw (also in this magazine issue) and I liked the idea of having baked beans as a side dish. For ingredients, I began with a one-pound bag of Navy Beans, picked through and rinsed.
The salt pork was cooked over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Next, I added chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. I stirred in 3 cups of water, the beans, brown sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, Worcestershire, 1 tablespoon mustard, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper-- then brought it to a boil. I transferred the Dutch oven, covered, to the oven and cooked them until beans were nearly tender, about 1 1/2 hours. They smelled so good, while they were baking. I was anxious to try them...
Whoops! The water had pretty much evaporated. I should have heeded the recipe note to increase the water by an extra cup, since I used a heavy cast-iron Dutch oven. I added a bit more water and then gave the beans a stir-- problem solved. It was time to taste.
TASTING NOTE #1: The beans were perfectly cooked, thank goodness. To me, the flavor was was very savory. I wasn't sure if it was the Worcestershire sauce, or too much Dijon mustard. Personally, I was sorely tempted to add tomato paste. But, the article said, "Although many recipes call for tomato products, native New Englander's assured us that they had no place in an authentic Boston baked bean recipe." I reconsidered what to do, as I much prefer a sweeter version of baked beans. Hey, I'm from California!
FINAL TASTING NOTES: I have to be honest with all of you. On a scale from 1-5, 5 meaning that the beans were out-of-this-world great, I give this recipe a 3.5... only because I think Bush's Beans have spoiled my palate. HOWEVER, my husband and son loved these beans! They were completely devoured by day #2, and my son asked me to make them again. Therefore, my suggestion is that you can either adapt this recipe if you like a less savory version of Boston Baked Beans. Just to be a bit rebellious, I might go ahead and add some tomato paste, next time. I can't help it, but I love the tang of some concentrated tomato. Just don't tell anyone you know, who lives on the East Coast! I'll just rename them "California Baked Beans", okay?
Here's the recipe:

The Brit-in-Italy scenario gets an emphatically grungy makeover in "Berberian Sound Studio," a twisted tribute to analog moviemaking and 1970s Italian Giallo horror flicks. Toby Jones plays the innocent abroad — not a traveler headed for a romantic thaw in the Mediterranean sun but a sound engineer who never sees the light of day and who's headed for — or perhaps already in the midst of — a mental unraveling.
Jones' reserved Englishman, Gilderoy, has been hired to oversee the soundtrack mix on "The Equestrian Vortex," a piece of psycho-erotic exploitation chock-full of evil priests, tortured witches, secret libraries and the requisite poultry tunnel. Whatever artistic flair on Gilderoy's part led the filmmakers to hire him, at the studio, he's instantly cast in the role of accountant-like functionary, out of his depths amid the loonies — the hectoring producer, the angry actress, the uncommunicative Foley artists and the pretentious director who insists he's making a work of historical truth.
Writer-director Peter Strickland, whose debut feature was the Romania-set revenge drama "Katalin Varga," uses atmosphere as others would use plot, and knows how to provoke comic shudders. But he tends to repeat himself, and he doesn't quite find a satisfying denouement for the inventive premise.
Even so, the muck is practically palpable. His film-within-the-film, though unseen, colors every frame of "Berberian," and every shot of Gilderoy's face. Jones perfectly modulates the character's reactions to on-screen carnage as he orchestrates actors' sound-booth screams. There's also the endless destruction of vegetables — the acoustics of violence — and the resulting pile of discarded produce, along with its creeping rot.
"Berberian Sound Studio." No MPAA rating. In English and Italian with English subtitles. Running time: 1 hour, 33 minutes. Playing at Arena Cinema, Hollywood; Downtown Independent, Los Angeles.

Radian Measure
Lesson 14 of 17
Objective: Students will be able to use similarity to define radian measure as the constant of proportionality between arc length and the radius.
Big Idea: Time invested in understanding similarity and in the π project pays off when students see the common sense behind the idea of radian measure.
In order to review the term constant of proportionality, which is part of the learning target we're studying now, I begin today's class with two classically straight-forward direct variation word problems. My hope is that these problems will look familiar to kids, and that they might say things like, "hey, alright, this is easy!" or "wait, what are we studying today?"
If I notice that the scaffold is necessary, while students are working on this opener, I'll put the values from each problem on the board in two column tables.
As students finish, I either elicit through conversation or just show on from arc length to radians Slide 3 the equations for each of these direct variations. I explicitly note the value of the constant of proportionality in each equation, then on Slide 4, I point out that phrase in learning target Circles 3.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Students look at the arc length chart they completed during the previous class. I instruct students to select an arc length column, and to determine the constant of proportionality between arc length and the radius (from arc length to radians Slide 6 and determine k notes). In groups, students complete this task for all columns of the arc length chart, then they collect their results in the chart of Slide 7. The big reveal happens on Slide 8, when we simply change the heading titles for this chart, and students see that they have already converted degrees to radians!
Of course, it's not exactly clear to all students what just happened, and I expect students to now wonder "Wait, so what is a radian?" -- this is the title of Slide 8. In my experience, when students first learn about radians, their greatest conceptual leap is to understand that radians are a unit of angle measurement. I compare the relationship between degrees and radians to the relationship between inches and centimeters or pounds and kilograms.
Once that leap is made, I note say that we know there "are 360 degrees in a circle," so "how many radians are in a circle?" From there, you can use any method that makes sense to help students use proportions to make these conversions. I prefer to set students straight to practice and to begin constructing their own processes, so I set them to task on a Delta Math assignment.
Practice / Homework: Delta Math
- Click here for an introduction to Delta Math
- Trigonometry - Intro to Radians
- Converting Radians to Degrees
- Convert Degrees to Radians
- Radians, Radius and Arc Length
- Radians on the Clock
I set the assignment so students have to get 5 right in a row on each of the above. Students are given time to start on this assignment in class. As students work and see the solutions to these exercises, I check in with each group to make sure that they're grasping converstion from 360 degrees to 2π radians and therefore from 180 degrees to π radians.
Resources (4)
Check-In Quiz
The four questions on Check In Quiz 1 will help me understand what students understand so far. The first three are computational exercises. I'm most interested in seeing what students give me for #4 - this will show whether or not they have a picture for how big "one radian" is, and whether or not they have the concept of the intercepted arc matching the length of the radius. I'll use the results of this quiz to target individual students in the next class, where we'll be reviewing Unit 2.
