New Tuition Assistance Tool Attuned to Troops' Educational Needs
By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.
DoD News, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON, April 22, 2015 - The Defense Department continues to invest in its service members and has introduced a new online informational tool tailored to their unique school programs and educational needs, the Defense Department's chief of voluntary education said in a DoD news interview this week.
Dawn Bilodeau discussed a new online tool called "Tuition Assistance DECIDE."
"Tuition Assistance DECIDE, or TA DECIDE, as we like to call it," she said, "is a tool tailored to the unique needs of our service members." It's designed to support their decision-making in areas such as selecting schools or choosing programs to enroll in, she explained. It came online April 17.
*Informing Decisions*
"Our military students tend to be part-time students -- they're not going to school full-time," Bilodeau said, "and Tuition Assistance DECIDE is really designed to enable them to search through schools that service members are attending just like them." TA DECIDE can provide information on everything, Bilodeau said, from completion rates -- likelihood of completing a course -- to cost or graduation rates from a particular school.
"The benefit of using this particular tool is that you know that the schools that are in there are trustworthy, because we vetted them," she said. "They've signed an agreement with Department of Defense that they're going to adhere to certain principles of excellence."
TA DECIDE is accessible at http://www.dodmou.com, the website for the memorandum of understanding that participating education institutions sign. "You can click on 'Tuition Assistance DECIDE,' and it will take you right to the tool," Bilodeau said.
*A Comparison Tool*
Bilodeau described TA DECIDE as an informative tool for comparing more than 2,600 schools that are eligible for tuition assistance benefits.
"It allows service members to search by a whole host of parameters," she said. For example, Bilodeau explained, service members interested in an associate's degree or in a certain program such as accounting or cybersecurity can search by those filters and come up with schools that meet the criteria they see as important.
*Tailored to Unique Needs*
Bilodeau emphasized TA DECIDE is really tailored toward the unique needs of DoD students. Though the GI Bill Comparison Tool includes 33,000 education and training providers, she said, all of those schools have not agreed to the Defense Department's terms, as the schools in TA DECIDE have.
While Defense Department officials are "really happy" with the launch of this new tool, Bilodeau said, there's always room for improvement.
"We definitely want to hear feedback from all service members, as well as counselors or even our school partners that are in the field and other federal interagency partners," she said. "We do have some planned enhancements to make it better, but we're always willing to hear some new thoughts as well."
*Valuable Tool for Counselors as Well*
Bilodeau, who has more than 15 years of experience in voluntary education, said she would have loved to have had the TA DECIDE Tool as a counselor in the field.
"It allows you to have a one-on-one conversation with that service member about their unique needs," she said, noting that it helps in navigating the vast amount of information on the Web about schools and universities.
Every year, Bilodeau noted, 300,000 service members go to school using tuition assistance. "Can you imagine having a tool that helps them to facilitate those conversations?" she added.
"The great thing about this tool," she said, "is it takes and leverages information that is publicly available from federal entities -- recognized sources, we like to say -- so service members can feel confident the information they're looking at is trustworthy and is the facts."

NASHUA, N.H. — For better or worse, they are the class of Obama.
Eight Democratic senators swept into office partly on Barack Obama's 2008 coattails are facing their first reelection bid without the benefit of having the president on the ballot and at a time when his approval rating is near an all-time low.
The future of the Senate, and President Obama's ability to push through an agenda during his final two years in office, rests largely on their fate.
Democrats hold a five-seat Senate majority, when two independents aligned with the party are included. That means Republicans hoping to retake control of the upper chamber for the first time since 2007 need to pick up six seats this fall.
And the party is targeting this first-term Democratic group to help them get there.
On the front lines are North Carolina's Kay Hagan and Alaska's Mark Begich, running in traditionally conservative states that Mitt Romney carried in the last presidential election. Mark Udall in Colorado and Jeff Merkley in Oregon watched their already tough races tighten after the rocky rollout of Obama's healthcare overhaul.
Two former governors, Mark R. Warner of Virginia and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, are now seen as potentially vulnerable, and their races have drawn interest from high-profile Republicans. Former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie is taking on Warner, while former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, a rising star in the party before his 2012 defeat, is flirting with a run in New Hampshire.
Only Tom Udall of New Mexico and Al Franken of Minnesota, from two of the bluest states in the group, appear safe at this early stage.
"All of these senators are dealing with a fundamentally different environment than the one in which they were first elected," said Nathan Gonzalez, an analyst for the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report. "The question is how much worse than 2008 is it going to be?"
Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York, who helped guide the eight to victory in 2008 as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, says they are not as vulnerable as some people think.
"Despite the onslaught against them, their numbers are pretty good," he said. "Obviously an off-year election is more difficult. But each of them has a good record of accomplishment and each of them is a more savvy politician today than they were then."
Of five races where recent polling is available, Hagan trails her potential Republican opponents and Mark Udall and Begich have slight leads in their races. Shaheen leads Brown in a hypothetical matchup. Only Warner polled above the 50% threshold that analysts say is a key indication of an incumbent's strength.
All eight are focusing their campaigns on local issues and accomplishments, something that's right out of the standard campaign playbook for first-term senators.
But Obama — whose historic 2008 candidacy helped them snatch seats that had been in Republican hands — keeps emerging as a major factor in the races as Republicans seek to exploit the president's growing unpopularity with conservatives and independent voters.
At the same time, since Obama isn't on the ballot, the candidates won't benefit from his ability to draw Democrats to the polls, particularly minority voters who could play a key role in several races.
Nowhere is this challenge clearer than in New Hampshire. In 2008, Obama led a clean sweep for Democrats, electing Shaheen in a tight battle against a Republican incumbent, and reelecting Democrats to Congress and governor.
Without Obama on the ticket in 2010, the Granite State turned decidedly conservative, electing a full Republican slate to Congress and historically large majorities in the statehouse. In 2012, with Obama again leading the ticket, the pendulum swung back toward Democrats, who retook both of the state's congressional seats, the governorship and half of the Legislature.
So like other Democrats seeking reelection, Shaheen faces a tough decision on whether to embrace the president or keep him at arm's length. There are signs that many senators are opting for the latter.
During a presidential visit to North Carolina last month, Hagan did not join Obama for a photo opportunity, blaming a vote in Washington. Mark Udall, who campaigned with Obama in Boulder, Colo., in the final weeks of the president's 2012 reelection campaign, said last month he was unsure whether he would do the same now. "We'll see what my schedule is," he said.
Begich, who frequently notes that he won his 2008 race even though Obama lost Alaska, distanced himself further from the president after last month's State of the Union address, expressing "disappointment" and warning Obama against going "too far" in issuing executive orders.
Shaheen's statement after the address was noticeable for what it lacked: any mention of the president at all.
In an interview, Shaheen insisted that the president's policies and popularity weren't guiding her work or her campaign. "There are always things that are outside of your control," she said. "My focus is on what I can — I don't know if 'control' is the right word — but what I can work on. Where can I work to make a difference."
For her, that includes helping small businesses in New Hampshire and securing funding for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, two issues she highlighted on a trip to a veteran-owned business on a frigid day during the last congressional recess.
But in fundraising emails, her campaign doesn't shy from acknowledging the target on her back.
"I'm under no false illusions," Shaheen wrote in a recent letter seeking money to combat "the Kochs, the RNC and their right-wing allies." She added: "I know what the GOP sees: They think I'm vulnerable because I'm the only Democrat elected to the Senate from New Hampshire in 30 years."
Shaheen won't say whether the president will come to New Hampshire, as he did often in 2012 and 2008. But she's working to inoculate herself from his political baggage, especially Obamacare.
As the struggles of the healthcare law dominated the headlines in October, Shaheen broke with the White House and penned a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius seeking to extend the enrollment period beyond the end of March. Nine other Democrats signed the letter, including four other members of the 2008 Obama class.
Nevertheless, Republicans are pounding the senators over Obamacare. The political attacks are particularly challenging because, as newcomers, their support for the Affordable Care Act in 2010 stands as their most significant vote to date, along with their support for the more than $800-billion economic stimulus bill of 2009.
Though more experienced senators might be able to fall back on broader records or have other accomplishments under their belts, these senators are — or appear — deeply vested in two of Obama's signature programs.
"Democrats are heavily wedded to his agenda," said Rob Collins, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "Candidates like Jeanne Shaheen, who Democrats claim has her own brand, are seeing that brand being overwhelmed in a negative way by Obama."
Americans for Prosperity, a conservative political action committee with ties to the Koch brothers, recently launched ads against Shaheen and Hagan, as well as veteran Sen. Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana, over their healthcare votes.
The ad against Hagan taunts her as Obama's "best friend," saying she votes with him 96% of the time. The ads show video of the women assuring constituents — as the president did — that if they liked their current health plans they could keep them. That promise was later dubbed the "lie of the year" by independent fact-checker Politifact.
Jim Rubens, a former New Hampshire state senator and one of two Republicans running to replace Shaheen, called her a rubber stamp for Obama, a deep insult in a state that prides itself on its independence.
Last week, as Obama huddled with Senate Democrats at Washington's baseball stadium to plot election-year strategy, the president acknowledged that his woes were complicating the fate of his congressional allies and signaled he might keep his distance if that would improve a candidate's chances, according to lawmakers at the meeting.
"He wants us all to win," said Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat. "But he may be of more benefit to me in Illinois than he might be in some other states."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) recently defended Obama's popularity, insisting that all Democratic candidates would welcome a presidential visit. A day later, after hearing from some of those Democrats, Reid changed his tone.
"It's up to the individual senators," Reid said. "I can't tell them who to ask to campaign for them. That's up to them."

Alan Ruck as Captain John Harriman
Alan Ruck reprises his role of Captain John Harriman from Star Trek: Generations.
Alan Ruck started studying theater in high school and then at the University of Illinois. Later he began acting professionally in Chicago, appearing in numerous productions, including the Goodman and Wisdom Bridge Theaters.
He made his Broadway debut in Neil Simons' Biloxi Blues, as the role of Don Carney.
He is perhaps best known for his role as Cameron Frye, Ferris Bueller's hypochondriac best friend in John Hughes' Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)(he was 29 when he portrayed the 17-year-old Cameron), and as Stuart Bondek, the humorously perverted, power-hungry member of the mayor's staff on the former ABC sitcom Spin City.
Alan's earliest film role was Carl Brennan in the 1983 drama Bad Boys. He played a passenger on the ill-fated bus in the blockbuster Speed, and had a supporting role as the eccentric storm chaser Robert 'Rabbit' Nurick in the 1996 disaster film Twister.
In 2005, he played Leo Bloom in the Broadway version of The Producers, a role initiated by his Ferris Bueller co-star, Matthew Broderick.
Alan attended Parma High School in Parma, Ohio and is a graduate of the University of Ilinois. He currently lives in Rockland County, New York. He has a son, Sam, and a daughter, Emma.

Still Missing: Russell Mort | News
WHEATFIELD, NY - The hearts of a nation were raised earlier this week, when three kidnapped women, some of whom had spent more than a decade in torturous captivity, were rescued in Cleveland.
But the news may have touched one Western New York family more than others.
A family whose loved one has been missing for more than three decades.
When she heard of the incredible news from Cleveland, Ruth Mort's heart skipped with a beat of joy.
"Especially for those families," Mort told WGRZ-TV. "Statistics normally state they (the missing women) would have expired," she said.
The rescue of the Cleveland women came 31 years and one day, after Mort's 2-1/2 year old son Russell went missing from where the family lived in a trailer park on River Road. Despite an all out effort by police and volunteers to find him, he was never seen again.
"And when I heard (of the story in Cleveland) I thought of Russell and said a little prayer...again," Mort told Channel 2 News.
However, Mort stopped short of saying her hopes of finding Russell have been actually raised.
"It didn't increase our hope because we are aware of the statistics," she said, referring to research which shows the longer a child has been missing the less likely it is that they will ever be found again.
Ever since Russell disappeared, when he was left alone for less than a minute to play outside in a fenced yard on May 5, 1982, there have been theories as to what happened to him.
One is that one he fell into the Niagara River, which was less than 100 feet away from where he was last seen, and was swept away in its swift moving waters.
The other theory is that he was kidnapped, which is the theory his mother most subscribes to.
"There's never been any evidence whatsoever as to what actually happened to him, so therefore you cling to hope that he is alive someplace, unless you hear something otherwise," Mort said.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children features information on Russell Mort, including an age progression photo, which depicts what he might like today at age 33.
In 2005, a man from Texas who thought he might be their son contacted the Morts.
The man, who had been adopted, noticed that pictures of him as a child bore a striking resemblance to those of Russell, and his younger sister. The man also had the same blood type as Russell's father.
However, DNA testing eventually ruled him out as being the Mort's long lost son.
"But we still stay in touch with that young man to this day," Mrs. Mort said.
Another Mother's Day will come on Sunday.
Another Mother's Day... without this mother's son.
"I think about Russell most every day...we had two other girl's after Russ disappeared and we're busy now with grand babies, and it's helped an awful lot," Mort said.
Russell Mort's case has an interesting distinction in that in the 1985, his was the first picture of a missing child from upstate New York, to be depicted on a milk carton. It became a common method used to try to locate missing children before the advent of the internet.
In her home, Mrs. Mort keeps two thick scrapbooks of news articles, photos, and other items related to her son's disappearance, including a flattened, now 28-year-old milk carton with his picture on it.
Ruth says if there are currently any leads in the case of her son's disappearance, she would not necessarily know of them, explaining that in more recent years investigators have changed their practices, to avoid notifying families of potential leads until and unless they pan out.
This diminishes scenarios by which hopes are raised; only to be dashed, which in years past she describes as a like "being on a roller coaster".
"It's a two edged sword...sometimes I wish they would share all tips with us...but sometimes I'm thankful that they don't," Mort said.

US faces Panama on artificial field in World Cup qualifier
SEATTLE (AP) — Ask FIFA and the organization says it sees no problem with playing on a quality artificial field.
U.S. Soccer still does.
"I'd rather play on real grass over turf than to play on turf," U.S. captain Clint Dempsey said Monday.
Playing on a temporary grass field is the situation that will face the United States on Tuesday night when its plays Panama in a World Cup qualifier at Seattle's CenturyLink Field. The U.S. (2-1-1) improved to seven points in the 10-game final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region after winning at Jamaica last Friday night 2-1. The U.S. trails Costa Rica (2-1-1) on goal difference and is ahead of Mexico (1-0-4) on goals scored.
In order to bring a World Cup qualifier to the Pacific Northwest — where artificial surfaces are almost required — putting down a temporary grass surface was a condition. Seattle obliged, but the surface was far from ideal.
"When you talk about playing home games in World Cup qualifying, especially for us, you'd like to be playing on a field where it's cut real short and you're able to get some water on the field before the game and that creates just a fast, wet surface that is conducive to how we want to play," U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley said. "Look, clearly there are a lot of things that go into making these decisions. Seattle certainly deserves a game, but I think the field unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired."
A win over Panama coupled with a victory next week in Utah against Honduras could give the Americans control of the qualifying group. The U.S. is 8-1-2 all-time against Panama, which is expected to be without leading scorer Blas Perez because of gastroenteritis.
"It's a huge game. We badly want three points in this game and then obviously next week in Salt Lake," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "Those are home games and they are must wins."
Bringing a qualifier to Seattle was a goal for U.S. Soccer, trying to capitalize on the resounding success of the Seattle Sounders in the MLS and arguably the league's strongest fan base. Dempsey noted that after the team arrived in Seattle on Saturday he went out for dinner and noticed TVs everywhere were tuned to the Sounders game against Vancouver.
"It's great to see the game is building and there are markets like this where people have so much passion for the game," Dempsey said. "I almost felt like I was in another country the other day when the Seattle Sounders game was on."
Tuesday's match with Panama will be the first World Cup qualifier played in Seattle since 1976. But making the commitment to bring any major soccer match to Seattle comes with a host of logistical obstacles, none larger than the playing surface.
The Sounders play on a bouncy, fast artificial surface. The venue is accustomed to undertaking the task of putting in a grass field over the top of the artificial surface, having done so for international exhibitions involving Manchester United, Chelsea and FC Barcelona. When the U.S. held its first training session on the surface Sunday, it was already showing signs of wear after the Sounders played Vancouver the night before. The center of the field was churned up and seams were noticeable. The field was installed the middle of last week.
"Obviously, it comes in in trays and doesn't have a lot of time to kind of gel together so you look for spots on the field that may tear up easily and avoid them if possible," U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard said.
Aside from the temporary field, the Americans will be forced to make significant changes to their midfield. Klinsmann finally fielded an identical starting lineup in consecutive games when the same 11 took the field to start against Germany and again at Jamaica.
Injuries and suspensions will force changes against Panama. Jermaine Jones will be held out after suffering a concussion against Jamaica and Graham Zusi, who assisted on Jozy Altidore's opening goal, will sit on Tuesday because of yellow card accumulation. Asked how he would fill those spots, Klinsmann listed a number of options, capped with "we have a pretty good idea how we want to start tomorrow, which I won't tell you."
"This is always what it is when you go through this amount of games, if it's injury, if it's yellow card, if it's what it is and you deal with it," Klinsmann said.
Notes: Klinsmann announced F Herculez Gomez has been sent to Los Angeles for individual fitness work and treatment. No replacement will be added before Tuesday's match. ... DeMarcus Beasley underwent a root canal on Monday morning but was on the field for training in the afternoon. ... After getting the save in the New York Yankees' win on Sunday over the Seattle Mariners, closer Mariano Rivera, a native of Panama, signed jerseys and posed for photos with Jorge Valdes, assistant coach of Panama's national team, team general manager Rolo Gonzalez, and team Vice President Ramon Cardoze.

Favorite Memory?
For the fifth consecutive season, we're opening at home. Weather seems to be fine for Sunday night's Modell's Sporting Goods Opening Night, an 8:05 national telecast on ESPN2.
There's nothing like the season opener in baseball. Other sports can't come close. Footballers will beg for the NFL, but what's so exciting about seeing the first penalty flag dropped. Besides, football shouldn't begin until late September.
Sunday night's pre-game show has a lot in it. Come out early. For those who don't have a ticket, the ceremonies will be on W. B. Mason Behind the Pinstripes Show on myphl17 in the Philadelphia TV market. For those scattered around the country and the glove, the ceremonies will be live on this website. Coverage for each will begin at 7:30.
Dating back to 1883, the Phillies are 56-68-2 in opening day. The 2? Tie games (1923 and 1924). Don't know the circumstances. Perhaps someone out there can inform us.
From 1985 through 1992, we lost eight straight openers. Thank goodness there weren't bloggers in those years. Longest winning streak, 6, 1914-18. Only coverage was newspapers back then.
Following World Series appearances: we're 4-1, losing in 1981.
Favorite Memory?
My favorite opening day?
It would be 1963, the year before I joined the Phillies. I was a sports reporter at the Wilmington (DE) News-Journal and was assigned to cover the first game at Connie Mack Stadium. I had never been to an opener and I was pumped. Heck, here I am, standing on the field before batting practice. Was I dreaming?
Pete Rose was a rookie with the Reds. Being a huge baseball fan, I knew all about Pete. I introduced myself at the batting cage and said something like, "I hope we are both around the game a long time." Not the most brilliant comment. As I recall, he nodded affirmatively. Guess he was being polite.
What is your favorite opening day memory? Sunday night doesn't count.
Flight Home
Delta charter carried 90 persons (players, staff, wives, kids, one grandchild) home Wednesday night. We touched down at 8:20 p.m. 20 minutes later, we were still taxing, which promoted Shane Victorino to text the man in charge, Frank Coppenbarger, "What are we doing? Driving to the park?"
Once at Citizens Bank Park, three buses unloaded, starting an early Easter Egg-style hunt for cars. Cars were parked on two levels of the Plaza Parking garage. Those armed with alarms cheated. Will alarms work for a real Easter Egg hunt?
Within 30 minutes, the equipment truck arrived with the luggage. "Rollins….Manuel….Franzke….Ciccotti….Giles," barked the handlers. It then became a zig-zag scramble to get to your luggage. While lugging it to your car, dodge ball took over as you had to avoid collisions with people, kids and cars. Having to visit the men's room badly, made it even more adventurous.
Happy to report no injuries and no lost luggage. Oh, I made it to the men's room. What an informative ending to a blog!

My favorite Opening Day memory was on 4/12/04; first opening day of CBP. It was a horrible, cold, rainy and generally miserable day, but everyone was excited to see the new ballpark anyway. When Bobby Abreu hit that home run in the 1st inning and it flew by my seat in left field, I forgot it was raining :O)
And as for the tie games, 4/17/23 against the Brooklyn Robins was the longest NL opening game; it went 14 innings with a 5-5 score. The other tie was 4/15/24 against the Boston Braves, score 6-6.
Was the grandchild Jamie's?

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Birmingham-Southern softball team picked up its first win of the 2014 season on Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader against Trevecca Nazarene in Nashville, Tenn. The Panthers dropped game one, 5-4, in nine innings but rebounded to win game two, 3-2. The Panthers are now 1-3 while the Trojans move to 6-3.
In game one, BSC got on the board in the top of the second when junior Taylor Bassett doubled to plate junior Bethany Fronk, and the Panthers went up 3-0 in the top of the third on RBI singles from junior Hannah Harris and Bassett. The lead stood until the bottom of the seventh when TNU tied it up, scoring three runs with two outs on the board, sending the game to extra innings. BSC took back the lead in the top of the eighth when Fronk scored on an error, but the Trojans answered in the bottom of the eighth with a sac-fly to tie it back up 4-4. BSC was unable to score in the top of the ninth, and with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, TNU scored on a BSC error to win 5-4.
Bassett was 2-3 at the plate with two RBI, and freshman Amanda Ballew was 2-4. Fronk threw the complete game, giving up nine hits and three earned runs with three strikeouts.
Bassett led off the scoring in game two with a two-run double in the top of the first, and in similar fashion to the first game, scored again in the top of the third when freshman Torrie Garner hit the first home run of the season, putting BSC up 3-0. The Trojans were able to score twice in the bottom of the third, but BSC held them scoreless after that, allowing TNU only two hits and three bases for the remainder of the game to come away with the 3-2 victory.
Garner was 3-4, while Fronk and Bassett were both 2-4, and Bassett led with two RBI. Sophomore Deanna Creps started in the circle and went three innings, allowing three hits and two earned runs with two strikeouts. Fronk (1-3) came in and finished the game, picking up the win after giving up two hits and no runs with two strikeouts in four innings of work.
The Panthers open their home slate on Friday, Feb. 28, hosting Faulkner University in a 2 p.m. doubleheader at BSC Softball Park.

Kellogg's 19 leads Ohio past Kent State 59-53
KENT, Ohio (AP) — Nick Kellogg scored 19 points as Ohio opened Mid-American Conference play with a 59-53 win at Kent State on Wednesday.
Kellogg made four free throws in the final 39 seconds to help the Bobcats (11-3) hold off the Golden Flashes.
Devareaux Manley had 13 points and Mark Henniger 12 for Kent State (9-5).
Miami led 26-19 at the half but Kent State regrouped to go up by four midway through the second half but, shortly after, the Bobcats went on a 15-4 run for the victory.
Travis Wilkins hit a 3-pointer at 6:08 to put Ohio up for good, 49-46. Maurice Ndour followed with a fast-break dunk off a feed by Javarez Willis. Ndour got loose inside again at 2:21 to make it 53-46.
That cold spell wasn't unusual as Kent State shot just 28.3 percent, including 4 for 22 (18.2 percent) on free throws.

We have more than 25 years of combined experience in delivering superior lawn care and lawn sprinkler systems to residential and commercial properties, giving us the edge over our competitors.
"I've been using Duvall for nearly 1 year after having always cared for my lawn on my own. I always felt like I could do it cheaper on my own than by hiring a lawn service. That is true unless you use Duvall. A friend recommended Duvall to me, and I was blown away by both the price and quality of the service. Duvall has not only been cheaper than what I was spending to fertilize my lawn on my own, but my lawn looks so much better. Not to mention they are so friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend." Chad M.

Sara Jane "Sallie" Cooley Shubert
"Gone Ye Blessed"
Wife of J. H. Shubert
June 25, 1868 - Sep. 25, 1909
"A tender mother and a faithful friend.
"A tender mother and a faithful friend.
Buried in Durham Cemetery, Roane County, Tennessee
It's amazing! Over the last few weeks I have received emails from folks who are descendants of my husband's Shubert, Reynolds, and Cooley families. Boy, has that gotten me hopping! I must admit I haven't done any new research on these families in a few years, and I was a little rusty with my information, to say the least. But with so much paper in my files and a very large number of names in my Family Tree Maker, I was at least able to sound somewhat intelligent.
My husband and I were very excited when a Cooley descendant wrote because that is one line on which we have very little information.
My husband's line is as follows:
1. James Cooley, Sr., born about 1745, died about 1780 in Henry Co.,Virgina
+ Ann
2. James Cooley, Jr., born about 1765 in Virginia, died about 1852.
+Martha Patsey Stewart, born 1770 in Franklin Co., Virginia
3. Elijah Cooley, born 1788 in Franklin Co., Virginia, died 1868 in Roane Co., Tennessee

The revelation that Pat Summitt, the 59-year-old women's basketball coach at the University of Tennessee, not only has Alzheimer's disease, but plans to continue her career, might seem astounding at first. But doctors expect such disclosures to become ever more common as experts get better at detecting the disease in its earliest stages.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Indeed, in research out today in the journal Neurology, doctors from the Mayo Clinic report that by using certain brain scans they are growing ever closer to identifying people who will get Alzheimer's before memory loss or any noticeable symptoms set in.
Such tests are still not there. Even when experts detect the onset of Alzheimer's there are no medications that slow its inevitable progress. It's the search for such medications that motivates much of the research into early detection.
Scientists now believe that Alzheimer's is a progressive condition with changes in the brain beginning decades before any symptoms appear and the only hope for an effective treatment may be to start treatment long before the onset of symptoms.
Story: Predicting Alzheimer's: Would you want to know?
The Mayo Clinic researchers used brain scans on 311 people in their 70s and 80s with no symptoms of cognitive decline to determine the level of amyloid-beta deposits, or plaques, in their brains. The study found that 33 percent of the participants had significantly high levels of plaque deposits along with high molecule levels of myoinositol/creatine and choline/creatine in their brains. People with high levels of the brain molecules scored lower on several cognitive tests, regardless of the amount of plaque detected.
Scientists believe it might be necessary to treat patients with amyloid-lowering drugs long before significant symptoms of cognitive decline appear. However, it likely will take years to prove any of the drugs are effective.
But as Summitt plans to demonstrate, with the understanding of having the early stages and with assistance from others on her staff, it is still possible to continue a productive life until the disease worsens. Early onset Alzheimer's — when symptoms appear before age 65 — is uncommon, affecting only about 5 percent of all cases. It often runs in families and is linked to three genes.
Story: Summitt will attack dementia with her typical furor
Everyone with Alzheimer's progresses at a different rate and it's unclear what the Hall of Fame coach's future is going to be like. She has said she won't accept a "pity party" and realizes there will be "some good days and some bad days."
It will long be argued what effect the earliest stages of Alzheimer's had on the careers of former President Ronald Reagan and former Prime Minister Thatcher of Britain. Both ended up with severe dementia after they left office, but both functioned successfully while they will still serving, at a time when they may have been in the early stages of the disease.
As earlier and earlier tests become available, some people may not want the information. But others do, so they and their families can plan for the challenges ahead — and in many cases, like coach Summitt — continue to function as long as possible.

ROCKFORD — Guilford High School's 52-year-old student newspaper, the Voyager, may have rolled off the press for the last time on May 15.
The school's newspaper class, which produces the Voyager, did not generate enough student interest for the 2014-15 school year to justify keeping it in the curriculum, Guilford Principal Janice Hawkins said.
Hawkins said her decision to cut the course from the curriculum came after only 10 students had enrolled in the class for the next school year.
"We don't run classes that are below 20 (students)," Hawkins said. "It's not fiscally sound to do that."
This year's newspaper students have been doing everything they can to persuade the school to keep the class — they've been writing letters and emails to school leaders and recruiting fellow students to sign up for the class.
Sophomores Kristin Weyburg and Jenna Lee took their case to the School Board last week. Dan Bingley, a Guilford English teacher who runs the newspaper class, asked administrators to reconsider the decision and submitted a list of names of 21 students interested in enrolling in the class. He and his students were still waiting to hear the school's final decision as of Friday afternoon.
"My students want to keep fighting, and I'm standing behind them," Bingley said.
Lee and her classmates fear the Voyager will go out the same way as Auburn High School's student paper, which published for the last time in 2009.
"It's going to be hard once it's cut to bring it back," Lee said.
Hawkins offered two options that still would allow a student newspaper to be published — newspaper students could be absorbed into already existing journalism or yearbook classes from which they could still publish a paper, or they could form a newspaper club that would operate before or after school.
Junior Ally Pruitt, the paper's student life editor, said that an after-school club wouldn't work because many of the reporters and editors have part-time jobs and participate in school sports.
"We don't think it's fair to make us choose between sports, work and newspaper," she said.
Pruitt was slated to take over as one of the Voyager's top editors along with junior Savannah Nieves. They have worked their way up through the ranks of the paper for the past two years, and to see the paper die just before they take the reins has been difficult to accept, they said.
The Voyager is as old as the school itself. Its first issues were published in 1962, the year the high school opened, and Pruitt said shutting down the newspaper will affect more than just the students interested in practicing journalism.
"The newspaper goes beyond this room," she said. "It's Guilford High School."
Newspaper was not the only course axed for next school year — African-American history along with Advanced Placement physics, computer science and Spanish courses were unable to generate enough student interest to continue.
"Obviously, I would like to offer all of those classes," Hawkins said.
But the school gives priority to core classes that students must take to graduate, and classes that are not required are the first to go when student interest is low.
"It's totally based on enrollment," Hawkins said.
Sophomore Nathan DeBoer was interested in enrolling in the newspaper class for next year to get hands-on experience with graphic design and cartoon drawing. He would be sad to see the school newspaper go.
"The newspaper has been around for so many years, I think it's the end of an era," DeBoer said.

Democrats Pryor, Shaheen back health law extension
WASHINGTON — As the Obama administration tries to fix problems with its health insurance website, a second Democratic senator said Wednesday he believes open enrollment under the law should be extended.
Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., said he supports the "common-sense idea" for an extension beyond the March 31, 2014, deadline as suggested by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., in a letter to President Obama.
"I believe, given the technical issues, it makes sense to extend the time for people to sign up," Pryor said in a statement. "In addition, the administration should state clearly how the enforcement mechanism will work if people can't sign up in time."
STORY:Contractors say confusion led to website's delays
The calls by Pryor and Shaheen are significant, in part because they both voted for the Affordable Care Act and are Democrats up for re-election in 2014.
Pryor is one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats next year, given Obama's unpopularity in Arkansas. His job approval rating among likely voters has dropped 19 percentage points since last year, according to a new poll by the University of Arkansas.
The mandate that individuals obtain health insurance is a key tenet of the law, which Obama signed in 2010. The IRS is supposed to fine people who don't get insurance by the March 31 deadline.
Shaheen said in her letter to Obama, sent Tuesday, that people who are uninsured should not be penalized because they were prevented from signing up by problems with the HealthCare.gov website.The plagued online health exchanges will be the subject of a House hearing Thursday.
"Allowing extra time for consumers is critically important, so they have the opportunity to become familiar with the website, survey their options and enroll," Shaheen wrote.
"The difficulty that people in New Hampshire and in other states that are relying on the federally facilitated marketplaces are experiencing is incredibly frustrating and disappointing," she said. "For over three years, we have been waiting for the creation of the health insurance exchanges, which now in their fourth week of existence, are riddled with problems."
Obama, who has been openly frustrated by the problems with the online health insurance exchanges, tapped Jeffrey Zients on Tuesday to lead the effort to fix HealthCare.gov.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in a CBS News interview that he will introduce legislation next week that would delay the law's mandate that individuals obtain health insurance and delay the penalty to be assessed on those people who do not comply.
In her letter, Shaheen was complimentary of the law's provisions and its intentions and made clear that she wants to help make it work.
"Ultimately, however, we must do better," she said, urging the Obama administration to be "open to modifications that provide greater flexibility for the American people seeking access to health insurance."

For some years now, teachers and parents have noted something about boys and girls. Starting in elementary school, young girls often score better on reading and math tests than young boys do.
The differences are uneven on different tests and do not describe the experience of every child, but empirical studies do document a difference.
Now, two economists are proposing a partial explanation for the disparity that might give some parents heartburn.
Michael Baker at the University of Toronto and Kevin Milligan at the University of British Columbia recently analyzed survey data of parents in three countries — the United States, Canada and Britain. They were especially interested to see how parents say they spend time with their children — and they turned up an intriguing gender difference in what they called "teaching activities."
"So, this would be, 'How often do you read with your child?' or 'Do you teach them the alphabet or numbers?' " Baker says. "Systematically parents spent more time doing these activities with girls."
The finding surprised them because, at least in popular lore, parents supposedly spend more time with boys than girls. And Baker says that perception does tend to hold true for older children — fathers tend to spend more time with boys once they are older than age 4 or 5. When children are smaller, Baker says, parents spend about the same total time with boys as they do with girls.
But the striking difference comes in the sorts of activities the parents said they engage the kids in. The survey data suggests that young girls are more likely to be taken to libraries than are boys, are more likely to own books than are boys, and are more likely to be read to for longer periods of time than boys.
The economists focused their analysis, recently published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, on first-born children in order to get at the disparity in parental investment. It would have muddied the waters to compare parents caring for an only child with parents caring for their second or third child, Baker says. But they did find that the disparity also shows up clearly among fraternal twins. Here again, the parents surveyed seemed to devote more time to girls when it came to cognitive activities.
Since parents say they spend the same amount of time overall with boys and girls, Baker's analysis suggests that if parents are spending more time with girls on cognitive activities, they must be spending more time with boys on other kinds of activities. While it's possible to speculate that those activities involve more active play, Baker says the surveys could not provide a definite answer.
The big question, of course, is why these disparities in parental investment come about at all. After all, as Baker notes, many parents are familiar with research showing that elementary school boys trail girls in test of vocabulary and math. And they've also likely heard about studies suggesting that early interventions might have a big impact on the lives of children.
Milligan says the short answer is that no one knows why parents spend more time with girls on cognitive activities. One theory holds that girls might have a greater inclination toward such activities. (Theories suggesting innate differences between boys and girls and between men and women are hotly debated.) Another theory is that parents may be following cultural scripts and unconscious biases that suggest they should read with their daughters, and have active play with sons.
It is also possible, Baker says, that the costs of investing in cognitive activities is different when it comes to boys and girls. As an economist, he isn't referring to cost in the sense of cash; he means cost in the sense of effort.
"It is just more costly to provide a unit of reading to a boy than to a girl because the boy doesn't sit still, you know, doesn't pay attention," he says, "these sorts of things."
Baker says that as the parent of a boy and girl, he noticed that his own daughter appeared to have a greater inclination toward cognitive activities than his son. Rather than theorize about what the difference might be about, he says, he and his wife systematically directed their boy toward more cognitive activities.
In elementary schools in the United States, educators have seen differences in test scores among girls and boys. On average, girls perform better. This is not the case with every single child, but there are broad differences. There's been intense debate about what might cause these differences. Studies have looked at whether these differences are innate, or shaped by how we raise kids.
NPR science correspondent Shankar Vedantam joins us regularly to discuss interesting social science findings. And he's found some new research that suggests the way parents interact with very young children might be playing a role here. Shankar, welcome back to the program.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Hi, David.
GREENE: So Shankar, it feels like we're talking about research here that touches on a lot of fields - education, psychology.
VEDANTAM: Yeah, I mean, there has been a ton of research in all of those fields, David. Interestingly, this piece of research comes from a pair of economists. Michael Baker, at the University of Toronto, and Kevin Milligan, at the University of British Columbia, they recently mined survey research done in three completely different countries - the United States, Canada and Britain. They looked at how parents reported interacting with very young children; these are preschool children in all these countries. And they found that when it came to some specific activities, there was an interesting disparity in how much time parents spend with boys, and how much time they spent with girls.
MICHAEL BAKER: When we looked at specific activities - what we call teaching activities; so this would be, how often do you read with your child or, how often do you teach them the alphabet or numbers - systematically, parents spent more time doing these activities with girls.
GREENE: I guess one important question, though, is, are parents spending the same amount of time with boys and girls? That seems like something important to sort out.
VEDANTAM: Yeah. That's a great question, David. Interestingly, Baker found that they do, indeed, spend the same amount of time with boys and girls. So they're not necessarily reporting that they're spending more time with girls overall. It's just when it comes to these specific activities, they seem to be spending more time with girls than boys.
GREENE: OK. So do we think that there's a link there to girls performing better on tests in elementary school?
VEDANTAM: So that's the $64 million question. And remember, these are economists. So what they're saying is look, we had these two, separate findings. First, we've known from previous research that there are these test-score differences in elementary school. And second, we're finding that there are these different investments from parents, when it comes to these cognitive activities.
Baker told me that he built a model that asked, what would happen to the test scores if we were to eliminate these disparities in parental investment? And remember, he's not actually changing what parents are doing in real life. He's building a statistical model that tries to control for these disparities. And he finds that the differences in parental investment might explain as much as a third of the test-score disparities, which is really quite a lot.
BAKER: If you look at the boy-girl difference in the test scores at age 4 and 5; and then you look at them again but this time are counting for the differences in how their parents read to them or taught them letters and numbers, the boy-girl difference in the test scores shrinks.
VEDANTAM: So Baker has multiple theories. And one of the theories he has - I mean, he's an economist, and so one of the things that economists do is, they say, what are the incentives for people to do different things - you know - and what are the costs involved? And when economists talk about costs, they're not necessarily talking about cash. They're also talking about the amount of effort that's involved. And Baker is asking, is it possible that there are different costs in investing these cognitive activities in boys versus girls, and could that be explaining the disparities?
BAKER: The costs of providing these inputs are different for boys and girls. So for example, it is just more costly to provide a unit of reading to a boy than to a girl because the boy doesn't sit still - you know, doesn't pay attention, these sorts of things.
VEDANTAM: So it's a feedback interaction between the parent and the child and - you know, that's being shaped by all kinds of things. But what he's suggesting is, it's possible that parents are getting signals from their children about what they're willing to do; and then that shapes the parents' behavior, and then the parents' behavior, in turn, shapes the child's behavior; and then you have these loops.
GREENE: So Shankar, I have to say, this is the kind of subject matter that some parents will probably have reactions to. I know this is just one study. Do these researchers, though, have any advice for parents?
VEDANTAM: Yeah. That's a tricky one, David. And I asked Baker about this, and he told me that in general, as a parent himself, he tries not to give advice to other parents.
GREENE: That's probably a safer position to stand on.
VEDANTAM: Yeah. He did tell me, though, that he has a boy and girl himself, and his girl showed greater interest in reading and math at a young age. But his response, and his wife's response, was to tailor far more attention to the boy as a result; and try and counter, perhaps, with this natural inclination may have been.
GREENE: Interesting - something for parents to think about. Shankar, thanks so much, as always.
VEDANTAM: Thanks, David.
GREENE: That's Shankar Verdantam, who regularly joins us to talk about interesting social science research. You can follow him on Twitter @Hidden Brain. And while you're at it, you can follow this program @NPRgreene, @NPRinskeep and @MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Study: Early menopause increases heart disease risk
Doctors say those women should be checked out more
Heart disease kills more American women than any other disease, and a recent study revealed there is an even riskier link between cardiovascular disease and women who experience early menopause.
The study, published in The Journal of the North American Menopause Society, revealed the risk for heart disease doubles for women who enter menopause early before the age of 46.
Mercy Medical Center gynecologist Dr. Kevin Audlin said the main reason is the hormone estrogen.
"Estrogen is the hormone that prevents these cardiac risks. We know that ladies who are premenopausal but still producing hormones are at a significantly lower risk for coronary heart disease, heart attacks and strokes than are post-menopausal women or men of any age," Audlin said.
But Mercy cardiologist Dr. Monica Aggarwal said the study shouldn't make women panic.
"You can't control when you're going to go into menopause -- that is the way your cards were dealt. You know if it happens at 51, which is the average age, or if you go into premature ovarian failure or you have something that causes you to have early menopause. That's the way it is," she said. "But that doesn't mean your course is set out -- that you're going to be someone who has a heart attack. It just means that we have to be more aggressive about treating your risk factors."
Aggarwal said it starts with exercise and diet.
"It's about being healthy. It's about what you're putting into your body. You want to emphasize an anti-inflammatory diet: less red meat and fewer cheese or dairy products; eating lots of greens, beans and legumes; and adding more anti-inflammatory spices. All these things, I think, help in terms of decreasing your risk. They bring down your cholesterol and decrease the inflammation in your body, and people do better overall," she said.
Audlin said hormone replacement therapy can be risky so talk to you doctor immediately.
"We have a five-year window from your last menstrual period to actually getting back onto hormones, if you're going to. So, it is something you need to talk to your doctor about relatively quickly," he said.

The dream of establishing an orphanage in Rwanda is now a reality thanks to the support of the Hope College community.
In place are three homes to house, teach, and feed childrens and quarters for house parents. The program is now serving 17 children who live in the village and 13 others who walk in from the surrounding area. There is also a program director who is Rwandan and has considerable experience supervising this type of project.
Current Hope student Daniel Owens Rocky River, Ohio and recent graduates Rebecca Curry '12 and Andrew Wierda '11 were instrumental in developing this program, according to Alfredo Gonzales, Associate Prvost andf Dean for International and Multicultural Education Owens is presently a Mellon Scholar serving in Kigali, Rwanda.
Pictured above are the children whose home and future depend on the generosity of so many in the Hope community who provided the support to build the orphanage in Rwanda and now to provide for their care.
