| Awards is discontinued. It has been replaced by Unit Leader Award of Merit. (See Discontinued awards.)
Those who earned it before it was discontinued may still wear it, but it can no longer be earned.
Shortly after the National Eagle Scout Association was established in 1972, it began to make available a NESA Scoutmaster Award. The award was presented to one Scoutmaster per BSA area each year. These Scoutmasters' records demonstrated proper use of Boy Scout advancement, and a significant number of their Boy Scouts attained the Eagle Scout rank. This award was discontinued on December 31, 1987.
The president of the Boy Scouts of America requested that NESA convert its award into a Scoutmaster Award of Merit that could be earned by all Scoutmasters. His rationale was that there is a need for recognizing Scoutmasters relatively early in their work in that position, before they qualify for the Scouter's Key.
The nominee need not be an Eagle Scout but must:
- 1. Be a currently registered Scoutmaster who has served in that position for at least 18 months.
- 2. Have achieved the Quality Unit Award at least once during the period of service.
- 3. Have completed Boy Scout Leader Fast Start Orientation, New Leader Essentials, Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training, and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills.
- 4. Have a record of proper use of the Boy Scout advancement program, resulting in a majority of Boy Scouts in the troop attaining the First Class rank.
- 5. Have a record of
- Development of youth leadership through the patrol method
- Positive relations with the troop's chartered organization
- An extensive outdoor program including strong summer camp attendance
- A positive image of Scouting in the community
- A troop operation that attracts and retains Boy Scouts
The chair of the troop committee has the responsibility of nominating the Scoutmaster on behalf of the patrol leaders' council and the troop committee. (Click here to download the nomination form.)
The nomination is certified by the unit commissioner and forwarded to the local council service center.
The nomination should be approved by the Scout executive and either the council NESA chair or the council commissioner.
The Scout executive will forward the nomination to the director of the National Eagle Scout Association at the national office.
A full-color certificate will be provided by NESA free of charge. A cost of $1.50 per certificate will be charged for a certificate with the recipient's name laser-printed. Payment should accompany the order.
The National Eagle Scout Association will send the certificates to the Scout executive via pouch mail. Please allow two to four weeks for turnaround time.
A full-color, 6-inch jacket patch, No. 00147, is available through the Supply Division.
A square knot (white on tan) for the uniform, No. 05001, is available through the Supply Division.
The award may be presented at an appropriate chartered organization or unit function with acknowledgment at a district or council event or at a district or council recognition event.
Note: Nominees may earn the Scoutmaster Award of Merit one time only.

text: NPR Public Editor Is NPR Doing Too Many Stories About Catholicism? December 20, 2011 Stories on the new Catholic liturgy prompted complaints that Catholicism is over-covered. Islam, Judaism and Christianity were in fact mentioned much more this year. A monthly average of three stories mentioning the denomination practiced by a quarter of all Americans doesn't seem out of line.

BERLIN — While it could be several months before the Casino at Ocean Downs formalizes any plans to add table games, significant changes in the hours of operation, such as being open 24 hours a day on weekends and holidays, including New Year's next week, are already in the offing after the state gaming commission approved several changes last week.
In November, Maryland voters approved referendum Question 7 allowing, among other things, an expansion to table games, such as blackjack, poker, roulette and craps, at the state's existing and planned casinos. The approved referendum question also provided for the development of a sixth casino in Maryland in Prince George's County.
Question 7 also created the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission and the newly appointed panel met on Dec. 13 for the first time to begin formalizing the rules for an expansion to table games and several other issues germane to the operation of the state's casinos.
Casino at Ocean Downs officials said earlier this month the current facility is not set up for table games and adding them would require a significant renovation and expansion.
While there is no immediate timetable for an expansion to table games at the Casino at Ocean Downs, the Berlin facility is looking to expand its hours of operation. During the Dec. 13 meeting, the Casino at Ocean Downs requested an extension of the hours of operation to 24 hours a day on weekends and also requested permission to operate 24 hours a day on certain weekends and at certain times of the year.
"With the recent certification of State Ballot Question 7, Ocean Downs has carefully considered our opportunity for extended hours of operation," the Casino at Ocean Downs' letter to the commission reads. "Considering the seasonal nature of our location and current time of the year, we do not believe our location can sustain full 24/7 operations at this time. We are, however, cautiously optimistic that limited additional hours are justified."
The Casino at Ocean Downs currently operates from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and into Sunday morning. However, in its approved request to adjust its hours as permitted by the approval of Question 7, beginning yesterday, Dec. 27, the Casino at Ocean Downs will now be open from 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and will be open 24 hours a day starting at 8 a.m. on Friday to 3 a.m. on Monday morning.
The timing of the requested and approved changes to the hours of operation at the Casino at Ocean Downs came as the facility was preparing for a mid-week New Year's Eve and New Year's Day holiday and Ocean Downs officials also requested and received permission for a special holiday schedule. As a result, the Casino at Ocean Downs will be open from 8 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 30, through 3 a.m. on Jan. 1, providing 24-hour access during the holiday at the Berlin gaming facility. Ocean Downs officials told the state gaming commission they will collect data during the amended 24-hour operation schedule to determine if future adjustments are needed.
"We will monitor actual occupancy and revenue generated during these periods to ensure that our operator share exceeds the additional expenses incurred," the letter reads. "We may request to add or delete hours based on actual results and the time of year. Given the seasonal nature of our location, we would also request that the Lottery Commission authorize up to and including full 24/7 operation at our location with approval of Lottery staff. This will allow us the greatest flexibility in responding to changes in business volume and the seasonality of our location."

Freedom's Prophet
In a bolder sense, Allen was a Founder for all Americans. He advanced a prophetic vision of America as a multi-racial democracy of equal rights and equal opportunities. His egalitarian vision was far more daring than anything considered by the more famous white Founders. Allen exceeded them by fighting against the white racial privilege that so stunted, and threatened to stifle, the libertarian promise of the American Revolution. . . .
Allen and other black activists--James Forten, Prince Hall, Absalom Jones--struggled against the constriction of the revolution into a race-based republic for white men. In 1776, the white Founders had declared all men created equal and divinely endowed with inalienable rights, but by 1790 most of them had regretted that revolutionary burst of enthusiasm. In 1790, Congress adopted a naturalization law that limited new citizenship to white male immigrants. In late 1799, Philadelphia blacks petitioned Congress, then meeting in their city, to repeal the fugitive slave law (which had pinched Allen) and to consider emancipating all of the slaves by some gradual process. But by an 84 to 1 vote, the House of Representatives rejected the appeal with contempt, asserting that free blacks lacked the standing as citizens to petition Congress. A Congressman from Georgia sneered that "'We the people' does not mean them." Most white men had hardened around the consensus that the United States was a white man's republic. Even most white abolitionists of that generation doubted that black freedom should bring equal political rights. In their view, the best that blacks could hope for was a limbo above slavery but below citizenship.
Despite this crushing defeat, black activists refused to abandon the universal freedom and equality promised by the Declaration of Independence. Allen insisted that blacks had a sacred and prophetic mission to save the republic from the racism of white Americans. Since most whites had lost faith in true freedom, black Americans, as Newman remarks, were "the people on whom the great experiment in liberty depended." By non-violent resistance, blacks had a duty to remind the majority of the inclusive dream.Taylor concludes his piece with thoughts on the meaning of "black founders," riffing on Richard Hofstadter's famous bon mot that America was born in perfection and aspired to progress:
By casting the early republic as a perfect machine of inevitable progress, this consoling version of our history is doubly distorting. First, it obscures the contradictory nature of the revolutionary generation. The revolution enhanced the liberty of common white men and allowed a measure of freedom for the black minority in the northern states--but the revolution denied citizenship to free blacks, while entrenching and expanding Southern slavery, which remained the lot of most African Americans. White supremacy became more virulent and more ratified by law after 1800 than before. During the 1820s and 1830s, most northern states rescinded the right to vote from blacks (who had rarely been allowed to exercise it previously). And thanks to the southwestern extension of slavery, there were twice as many American slaves when Allen died compared to when he was born. "Richard Allen's world was filled with high hopes and dashing disappointments," Newman concludes.
Our comforting story of inevitable progress also obscures the endurance and the creativity of real people working to change their society--or at least to preserve its ideals for a better day. In particular, the usual story reduces black people to silent victims, waiting for white people to liberate them once the time becomes right. By recovering Allen's life as a troubled but persistent redeemer of our republic, Newman illuminates a truer history of struggle by black as well as white Americans. In his scholarship, Newman reflects Allen's legacy: just as Allen sought to redeem the republic from the unbearable burden of whiteness, Newman helps to reform our national memory which insists that our Founders were all white men at the center of power. If we should finally achieve a genuinely egalitarian society, we will owe as much to our black founders as to their white brethren.
Taylor's review and Newman's book bring Allen to life and set him in historical context in ways that command attention, so I commend both.
And here's an interview with the author which sheds more light on the book.

King Abdullah II of Jordan is to visit Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, starting May 16, a Jordanian diplomat in UAE told AFP Wednesday.
"The Jordanian monarch will visit the Emirates as of Tuesday at the end of a trip to Saudi Arabia," the diplomat said.
King Abdullah will have talks with UAE head of state sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahayan.
The king is due in Saudi Arabia Saturday, for a visit during which he will have talks with King Fahd and Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz, a top Jordanian told AFP Monday.
Their talks will concentrate on reinforcing bilateral relations, the situation in the Arab world and the latest developments in the Middle East peace process, said the diplomat.
Relations between Jordan and Saudi Arabia have improved since Abdullah II came to the throne in February 1999. He visited Jeddah in April 1999, in his first foreign trip after his accession and made pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia in December and March - (AFP)

Free Clinic. Integrative Medicine.
The Bread of Healing Clinic is a free medical clinic designed to serve low-income people who experience barriers to accessing ongoing health care. We are a unique faith-based collaboration that directly addresses a crucial human need. Please click here for clinic locations, hours, and contact information.
Our three clinic locations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, provide:
- free, high-quality medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health care for people with chronic illnesses who do not have access to health insurance.
- an environment of education for patients and for volunteers to learn more about the treatment of chronic illnesses in patients who most often experience disparities in care.
- opportunities to experience, request, and offer healing for all of us (patient, provider, volunteer).
- health care for patients in between health insurance coverages.
We believe that health is:
- An issue of faith, for Jesus was continuously engaged in the work of healing.
- An issue of social justice, a right that belongs to all people, regardless of ability to pay.
- An issue of wholeness in the physical, spiritual, emotional and social wellbeing of individuals.
God calls us to healing in every arena of human life, and we seek to respond to that call in this ministry.
Please click here to learn about our position on medical services for immigrants.
Our Origins...
The Bread of Healing Clinic began as a ministry of Cross Lutheran Church, established with the support of community partners (UW-Madison Medical School, Aurora Health Care, other local churches). It continues now as a separately incorporated organization, holding clinics at three locations: Cross Lutheran Church, Eastbrook Church, and All People's Lutheran Church - Havenwoods.
The name Bread of Healing comes from Ecclesiastes 11:1, which invites the reader to: "Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days."
Maya Angelou writes further: "When we cast our bread upon the waters, we can presume that someone downstream, whose face we may never see, will benefit from our action, even as we enjoy the fruits sent to us from a donor upstream."
All of us at the Bread of Healing Clinic are committed to achieving health, not simply eliminating sickness. For us, health is an issue of social justice, a right that belongs to all people... not a commodity to be "delivered" on the basis of finances.
We share all that we have in the hope of healing, in the hope of moving all of us (patients and providers and volunteers) toward wholeness. None of us can be in full health without sharing the burdens of other people's illness. When we share those burdens, the pain and illness is no longer paralyzing. All of us are empowered.
Support our cause
We wouldn't be successful without our many volunteers. We invite you to join us!

Yeps – few days ago we, me and Aicani, have decided to start our own website:
So, I installed worpress there – and there you have it – my new blog – Moonlit Minds.
This one will be a bit different than tamilinux – a bit broader subjects and definitely not about Linux only! My interests have changed lately – that's why…
Well, it does not mean I will not run Linux – no!I am and I will be running exclusively Linux – right now Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex… 🙂
I will also not stop to write about Linux either. But – my howto' es seem less and less needed – Linux, especially some distributions, is very easy for most of the users.
So, if you are also interested in a bit different points of view on Linux, technology and its influence on culture and communication between people – you may check my new blog… You are welcome!

A second-round tender turned out to be the correct play on restricted free agent Chris Harris.
The fourth-year starting cornerback re-signed with the Broncos on Tuesday for a $2.187 million salary — a nice bump from his $555,000 base salary last season.
"I was pleasantly surprised by the interest Chris did receive (from other teams) even with the injury," said Fred Lyles, Harris' agent.
The second-round compensation, though, was why no team formally submitted an offer. Harris was undrafted out of Kansas in 2011, but made the Broncos' season-opening roster then became a starting defensive back by the end of his rookie season. He quickly developed into one of the NFL's best nickelbacks in 2012, then started as an outside corner last year until he suffered a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in the Broncos' playoff game against San Diego.
He underwent surgery and is expected to be ready by the start of training camp. If not for the injury, the Broncos undoubtedly would have placed a first-round tender on Harris, which would have come with a $3.113 million salary. A first-round tender means another team could have tried to sign Harris away, but that team would have had to compensate the Broncos with a first-round draft pick.
Even with the injury, the Broncos could not risk giving Harris a "right-of-first-refusal" tender which would have meant another team could have attempted to sign him away without a draft pick compensation.
The Broncos are counting on Harris to make a complete recovery. The team signed free agent cornerback Aqib Talib to replace Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Harris is expected to start at the other corner with second-year defensive back Kayvon Webster rotating in during nickel situations.
The Broncos also return veteran Tony Carter and are expected to select a cornerback within the first three rounds of the NFL draft in May.
"I'm just glad to get it over with and be able to know I'll be here one more year," Harris said, according to denverbroncos.com. "I'm definitely happy. This is where I want to be and to be able to play here another year, I'm all in to be a leader on the defense and get us back to the Super Bowl."

Naruto's Homecoming!! (ナルトの帰郷!!, Naruto no Kikyō!!) is volume 28 of the Naruto manga.
Chapter 245
- "Naruto's Homecoming!!" (ナルトの帰郷!!, Naruto no Kikyō!!)
After two-and-a-half years of training, Naruto returns to Konoha. Kakashi greets him soon after his arrival and receives Icha Icha Tactics as a gift from Naruto, the only book Jiraiya has had time to write these past few years. Jiraiya leaves Naruto's training up to Kakashi once again while he goes to investigate Akatsuki. Naruto also runs into Sakura and Konohamaru soon after getting back. Konohamaru demonstrates his Sexy Technique, which Naruto is unimpressed with, claiming to have invented even more perverted techniques. Sakura demonstrates the monstrous strength gained from training with Tsunade by hitting Naruto in disgust. Naruto and Sakura reform Team 7 under Kakashi's leadership, who suggests they have a bell test just like they did when the team was first formed years ago.
Chapter 246
- "The Pair's Growth!!" (二人の成長!!, Futari no Seichō!!)
Naruto and Sakura must once again take one of two bells from Kakashi. Since there are only two of them this time (a fact that devastates Naruto and Sakura), there are no underlying lessons of teamwork. Because Naruto and Sakura are no longer fresh genin, Kakashi does not read his new Icha Icha Tactics book and immediately uncovers his Sharingan. Naruto once again attacks before being given permission, though he is not as easily subdued by Kakashi this time. The contest continues into the night but Naruto and Sakura cannot get close enough to Kakashi. Naruto opts for a trick; he threatens to spoil the ending of Icha Icha Tactics, forcing Kakashi to shut his ears to avoid hearing it and his eyes to avoid reading Naruto's lips. This creates an opening for Naruto and Sakura to take a bell.
Chapter 247
- "Intruders in Suna" (砂への侵入者たち, Suna e no Shinnyūsha-Tachi)
Sakura takes Naruto for a tour of Konoha to reacquaint him with the village. They run into Shikamaru escorting Temari from the village, the two working together in anticipation of the next Chūnin Exams. They inform Naruto that he is the only member of their group to still be a genin, everyone else now either a chūnin or, in some cases, a jōnin, and Gaara has become the Fifth Kazekage. In Sunagakure, Gaara has a meeting with the village's council as they discuss rumours of an impeding Akatsuki attack. Yūra begins acting peculiar following the meeting just as cloaked individuals approach the village. He eliminates Sunagakure's border guards to grant the Sasori and Deidara passage. Sasori is glad to see Yūra has remained a loyal sleeper agent, and Deidara prepares to capture Gaara for the tailed beast sealed within him.
Chapter 248
- "Suna's Welcome Attack…!!" (迎えうつ砂…!!, Mukaeutsu Suna…!!)
Deidara, riding a clay bird, eliminates Sunagakure's scouts keeping and eye out for him or other Akatsuki personnel. When he infiltrates the village he is immediately confronted by Gaara, who knew that the bird was not a native of the area. Gaara wastes no time in attacking Deidara, dedicating great volumes of sand to try and crush him. Deidara's attempts at counterattacks are ineffective since Gaara's Shield of Sand protects him from all incoming attacks. Although he is initially successful at avoiding Gaara, Deidara's left arm is ultimately crushed by Gaaras' sand.
Chapter 249
- "As Kazekage…!!" (風影として…!!, Kazekage Toshite…!!)
While freeing himself from Gaara's sand, Deidara notices that Gaara seems to have two sand sources: the sand of the desert surrounding them and a special kind used for defence and precision attacks. The Sunagakure villagers watch the battle from the ground below, Kankurō remembering Gaara's desire to protect the village and its inhabitants with his life. The villagers, no longer fearing Gaara as they once did, encourage him to defeat his opponent. Taking advantage of their presence, Deidara drops a C3 explosive on the village. Gaara shields the village from the explosion but, in his preoccupation, is almost hit by one of Deidara's clay explosives. His Shield of Sand blocks it in time, but Gaara finds that Deidara has managed to hide explosives in this special sand. After they detonate, Gaara uses the last of his energy to make sure that the sand from their battle should not fall on the entire village before Deidara captures him.
Chapter 250
- "New Team, First Mission!!" (新チーム、初任務!!, Shin Chīmu, Hatsuninmu!!)
Deidara takes Gaara's unconscious body and flies off. Kankurō follows him while the other Sunagakure forces regroup and send word to Konoha of what has happened. Soon after Deidara reunites with Sasori they are confronted by Kankurō, who is determined to save his brother. He brings out his three puppets, but Sasori has no difficulty blocking his first attack. In Konoha, Naruto argues with Tsunade over what kind of mission the reformed Team 7 should go on. When they hear of Gaara's kidnapping, Tsunade immediately assigns them to go to Sunagakure to assist in the rescue of the Kazekage.
Chapter 251
- "To Suna…!!" (砂へ…!!, Suna e…!!)
Kankurō has been defeated, his puppets destroyed. He makes one last attempt to strike Sasori; however, having created the puppets years ago, Sasori easily stops Kankurō. Having managed to poison Kankurō during the battle, Sasori leaves with Deidara, knowing Kankurō will die in three days' time. Kankurō loses consciousness and is collected by Sunagakure forces sent to provide backup. Suna's medical-nin can't cure him, but are able to learn that Kankurō's injuries were Sasori's doing. In Konoha, Team 7 prepares to depart. Jiraiya speaks with Naruto before he leaves, reminding him not to use that technique. As they head to Suna they encounter Temari, also on her way back to Suna.
Chapter 252
- "Feelings, Running Wild…!!" (想い、駆ける…!!, Omoi, Kakeru…!!)
Team 7 informs Temari that Gaara has been kidnapped by Akatsuki, so she joins them in rushing back to Sunagakure. Naruto voices his disgust with Akatsuki for pursuing both Gaara and himself because they are jinchūriki, a horrible punishment for those who have been ostracised by others for their whole lives. Temari is glad that Naruto at least can relate to her little brother. Sakura also notes that Itachi, who Sasuke joined Orochimaru in order to kill, is part of Akatsuki. She concludes that stopping Akatsuki is in the best interest of both Naruto and Sasuke. In Sunagakure, Baki tries to get Chiyo to cure the poisoned Kankurō. She has no interest until she discovers that the one who poisoned Kankurō was Sasori, her grandson.
Chapter 253
- "Reliable Reinforcements…!!" (頼れる加勢…!!, Tayoreru Kasei…!!)
Despite her best efforts, Chiyo can do nothing to help Kankurō. She suggests that only Tsunade would be able to counteract Sasori's poison. Team 7 and Temari arrive in Sunagakure shortly afterwards and are informed of Kankurō's condition. Temari goes to see him and Sakura, Tsunade's disciple, offers to cure him. She removes the poison from his body and asks Chiyo to help her find ingredients for an antidote. Tsunade, meanwhile, is concerned that Team 7 may have difficulties with rescuing Gaara so sends Team Guy as backup.

Recall 09V223000
Load Carrying Capacity Modification Labels Are Missing
Recall Details
The load carrying capacity modification label may be missing from the vehicle. This information provides maximum load carrying weights as well as information about required tires and wheels. If not present, an inappropriate load may be carried in the vehicle, increasing a safety risk. Toyota has supplied customers with a new label to affix to the vehicle. This recall began on August 18, 2009.
Our Quick Take
All vehicles require certain informational labels. One of these required labels indicates the load carrying capacity of the vehicle, tires, and rims. This information is important to be noted so that the vehicle does not get overloaded with weight and become unsafe to drive.
What Should You Do?
We at RepairPal have designated this a medium priority recall. Please contact your Toyota dealer. They will check to see if your specific vehicle is affected and advise you on what to do next. Always have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is asking Lake Tawakoni catfish anglers to participate in a brief survey to determine opinions, characteristics and experiences of catfish anglers with emphasis on the blue catfish fishery.
Signs and laminated posters promoting the survey have been distributed at boat ramps and businesses at Lake Tawakoni. The survey can be accessed online at: https://survey.tpwd.state.tx.us/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=ll13988.
A printed copy of the survey is also available upon request. The survey will remain open through June 2014.
Information from the survey will supplement sampling techniques designed to collect information on blue catfish in the lake and on the anglers who target them for recreation and consumption. Input from a broad spectrum of catfish anglers will help TPWD make informed management decisions for Lake Tawakoni's blue catfish fishery.
Lake Tawakoni is renowned for the quality of its blue catfish fishery, attracting anglers in large numbers. In 2001, the Texas Legislature declared West Tawakoni the "Catfish Capital of Texas."
Texas' catfish fisheries have been receiving greater attention from the TPWD Inland Fisheries Division as biologists work to develop a statewide catfish management plan. Results from this survey will help shape catfish management throughout Texas.
For more information or a printed copy of the survey, contact Kevin Storey, 2122 Old Henderson Highway, Tyler, TX 75702; (903) 593-5077; [email protected]

A long-standing employee at the Greene County Courthouse will be retiring and a new face will appear in her place on Monday.
A long-standing employee at the Greene County Courthouse will be retiring and a new face will appear in her place on Monday.
Clerk of Superior Court Sandra B. Sutton officially retires Dec. 1 after nearly 36 years working at the courthouse. Her last day of work was Wednesday.
Magistrate Patrick Cobb will be sworn in as the new clerk of court at 7:45 a.m. on Monday by Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Paul L. Jones in the main courtroom. He will fill the remaining year of Sutton�s term.
She started out as a deputy clerk in January 1978, became assistant clerk of court in 1985 and was appointed clerk of court in September 2001 by Jones. She was elected to the seat in 2002, 2006 and 2010.
A Greene County native from the area between Snow Hill and Shine, Sutton is the daughter of the late Wilbur and Leona Bartlett.
She graduated from Greene Central High School, attended East Carolina University, worked at First Citizens Bank and married Mike Sutton, who retired from the Snow Hill water department.
His stint in the U.S. Army sent the couple to Texas for a year and back home when he was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro.
When Sutton first became employed at the courthouse, she worked as a cashier and bookkeeper. But the job entailed much more.
�In a small office you have to be able to have knowledge of the whole office,� she said.
Every day presented challenges, especially keeping up with the changing legislative laws that affect the justice system, she said.
The rapid technological advance from paper to computer also presented a challenge, but public information has become more accessible, she said.
�The computer has made it more beneficial for the public,� Sutton said.
Court fees have escalated from around $20 when she first became employed to now more than $200.
Sutton�s job revolves around handling lots of paperwork, including estates and special proceedings, presiding over legal matters and working with the public.
�When a family comes in and has lost a loved one,� she said, �you get emotionally involved.�
Observing testimony in the courtroom dramas can also tug at the emotions, Sutton said.
A major change happened when the new Judicial Center was added to the courthouse building in 2010 and the Clerk of Court office was relocated in the older building a year ago in August.
The office had to remain open as the transition was underway, she said.
Sutton�s courthouse career has been fulfilling.
�You meet a lot of people,� she said, �And it�s very rewarding when you feel you have served the citizens as the clerk of court.�
Sutton said she plans to spend more time with her friends and family � including two grown sons, Scott and Blake, and two grandchildren.
�As I retire I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the citizens of Greene County,� she said. �I am extremely grateful that you allowed me the opportunity to serve each and every one of you.�

Dr. Olivia Mitchell of the Wharton School is into retirement. In a big way. Not only that, lately she has been focusing on women and retirement—an area rife with problems. Lack of financial literacy and failure to plan for retirement are just two of the issues most women have that handicap them in their financial lives.
Not so Mitchell. Her expertise extends broadly throughout finance, not only retirement. And she wants to help prepare the next generation of students and others to be more financially secure.
On the subjects of financial literacy and retirement, she says that people in general are far less financially literate than they think they are. And women lag behind men not just in understanding more complex financial concepts, but also simpler ones.
"The big picture is that most Americans don't plan for retirement.… We've done a number of studies on financial literacy—how well people understand basic economic concepts. Women are generally less financially literate.… People don't get [longevity expectations] right either!" Mitchell says.
And that's a problem Mitchell sees as a crucial one to address. "Along numerous fronts, we conclude that financial literacy and education are a very high priority for women," she says. "They live longer, and are more likely to be widowed and left alone in retirement without having made financial provisions during their lifetime. I'm hopeful that the next generation will be a little more savvy…."
Mitchell has a career marked by varying experiences to draw from as she helps others. She holds the titles of International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans professor, department chair and professor of insurance and risk management, executive director of the Pension Research Council, and director of the Boettner Center for Pensions and Retirement Research atthe Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
She has also consulted with the Federal Reserve, Social Security Administration, the Government Accountability Office,the Treasury Dept., World Bank and the Japanese government. Presently she is serving as research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and a co-investigator for the Health and Retirement Study at the University of Michigan.
She took her B.A. in economics magna cum laude from Harvard University in 197. She has authored and coauthored books, articles, and studies too numerous to mention and holds honorary degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of St. Gallen.
She has traveled and taught in many places, including Italy, Pakistan, Australia, Asia and Europe. Helping achieve her goal of ensuring people are secure financially, she served on the bipartisan Commission to Strengthen Social Security in 2001, as well as on the US Department of Labor's ERISA Advisory Council.
Mitchell's goal is to help the next generation not only through her research, but also by mentoring doctoral students, which is a regular part of her work as well.
If they follow her example, there's hope yet for those who come after us.

Tim Morehouse '00 on the eve of the Olympics
Looking at a future that combines love of fencing and of children
He's taught school in the Bronx, written his autobiography and stripped off his clothes for ESPN. Now Tim Morehouse '00 is spending his last days before the London Olympics focusing on what it will take to bring home the gold. Opening ceremonies are July 27, and Morehouse will be competing July 29 — his 34th birthday — and Aug 3.
"I'm the oldest person on our team, but the Italians have a fencer who is 40," says Morehouse. In Europe, he says, it's easier to keep older athletes on board because the teams are often supported by the government, complete with competitive salaries and healthcare.
Age is just a number, after all, and Morehouse refuses to let his years rattle his psyche.
[Read the results of the competition.]
[Watch a video on how Morehouse developed as a fencer.]
"On the positive side I have a lot of experience," says Morehouse. "This will be my third Olympic games. I have a good grasp of what the experience will be like; it can be very overwhelming trying to compete and dealing with all of the fanfare."
|Morehouse's autobiography will be on sale in October.
Who does he feel his toughest competition will be?
"The first thing is to always prepare yourself," says Morehouse. "If you're not ready to go, it doesn't matter who you're competing against."
The Russian team, he says, is very strong and will probably be one of the match-ups. The Russians beat the United States by one point in 2004, and the United States beat the Russians by one point in 2008 to win the silver medal, so it appears that they are headed for a third Olympic rematch.
Two members of the medal-winning team will be returning (Morehouse and James Williams) and there are two new fencers: Daryl Homer and Jeff Spear. The Russian team will also have two returning fencers – Aleksey Yakimenko, who is ranked number two in the world, and Nikolay Kovalev – and two new members.
NBCOlymbics.com will be streaming the games, and fans of Morehouse can get behind-the-scenes video coverage sent to to their smartphone via Boston-based burst, a free and private smartphone application. Download the app, then sign up for Morehouse's videos, which will be sent directly to your smartphone or computer.
When Morehouse returns from the Olympics, he will launch Fencing-in-the-Schools, the non-profit he founded to bring his sport to urban and rural public school youth. The goal, he says, is to help improve health, academic performance and self-esteem.
Morehouse's dedication providing opportunities to school-aged children and teens is rivaled only by his passion for fencing. He spent three years with Teach for America after graduating Brandeis in 2000.

Checking In On… the WACPosted by Brian Goodman on December 16th, 2011
Kevin McCarthy of Parsing The WAC and Sam Wasson of bleedCrimson.net are the RTC correspondents for the WAC. You can follow Sam on Twitter @AgsBleedCrimson.
Reader's Take
The Week That Was
Another mixed bag for the WAC as Nevada posted a win at Montana 70-64, Idaho won at Oregon State 74-60, New Mexico State lost at UTEP 73-69, and Utah State lost at Wichita State 83-76. The WAC is 38-38 overall as the conference is just under three weeks away from starting conference play.
Power Rankings
- Nevada (7-3): Don't look now but the Wolf Pack are on a roll having won four in a row and seven of their last eight. Deonte Burton has led the Pack in scoring in the past three games with outbursts of 31, 28, and 21. The Wolf Pack are making the "winning plays" down the stretch, according to head coach David Carter, and shooting percentages of 44% and 53.6% in the last two second halves attest to that.
- Idaho (6-4): The Vandals are starting to find themselves as well having won three of their last four with the loss coming by just a bucket against Washington State. Deremy Geiger's 27 point against Oregon State and Stephen Madison's 17 points against Seattle led to a pair of road victories for Idaho. The two wins have seen Idaho shoot 15-of-29 (51.7%) from behind the three-point arc. Read the rest of this entry »

An implantable port is a thin, soft, hollow tube made of plastic. It's put into a vein in your chest or arm. Implantable ports are sometimes called portacaths or subcutaneous ports.
It has an opening just under the skin. This is called the port. The port is a disc about 2.5–4cm (1–1.5in) in diameter.
It can be used to give chemotherapy or medicine into your vein, or to take blood.
The tube is usually put in (tunnelled) under the skin of your chest or sometimes in your arm. One end of the tube goes into a large vein just above your heart. The other end connects with the port. This goes under the skin on your upper chest or arm. You'll be able to see and feel a small bump underneath your skin.

North Korea has supplied a new, longer-range Scud ballistic missile to Syria and is in negotiations to sell the weapon to Egypt as well, reported the daily Haaretz Sunday.
The Scud D, whose range is estimated to be 700 kilometers, was unknown until recently.
The original missile, which was made by the Soviet Union, is known as the Scud B, and most Arab countries with Scuds have Scud B missiles in their arsenals. Its range is approximately 300 kilometers, the daily added.
North Korea developed a newer version, the Scud C, with a range of 500 kilometers. Syria acquired that version and has begun assembling them in a local plant set up by the North Koreans, claimed the daily.
Haaretz said that it is also possible that Syria has begun producing Scud parts.
"It is not known whether the payload of the new missile is any different from its predecessors or if its guidance system is any more accurate," reported the daily quoting a military source as saying.
He added that Libya is also showing renewed interest in acquiring and developing missiles.
"After sanctions for its role in the downing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie in 1988 were lifted, Tripoli renewed its missile-acquisition efforts'" he was quoted as saying.
The Libyans are also showing interest at North Korean missiles with a 1300-kilometer range, which served as the prototype for the Iranian-made Shehab-3, Haaretz added - Albawaba.com

beary nice snack bento
On the left side are cucumber slices with hummus and strawberries.
On the right are little deli rolls of ham and provolone cheese in front, with Goldfish crackers in the back. A little silicone barran keeps the crunchy things separate from the moist things. :)
Happy Friday everyone!

Hello Caroline Alexander! :) The little teddy fork was one of the first sets of bento forks I got, I got the little set from ebay. I believe that particular set was called Click Clack and there were about 8 in the package. If you are interested in shopping for them on ebay the term "bento fork" or "bento picks" will turn up a lot of results.
There used to be an online Japanese dollar store that sold a lot of bento gear for very cheap (everything was $1.50!!). That is where I ordered the silicone barran from (three pieces in a set). Sadly, their online store closed. They do have some real stores located in northern CA if you happen to live in that area!
Otherwise, there are some slim pickings on Amazon, a lot on ebay. And necessity is always the mother of invention...when I first started doing bento I used picks I found at a cake decorating store, tupperware boxes, and I'd use small pieces of waxed paper to divide items.

Addressing the Service Provider Transition to IPv6: The Changed Landscape (Part 1 of 4)
IPv6 has been top of mind lately, with World IPv6 Day on June 8th that provided a global-scale test flight of IPv6 technology for the purpose of testing and data collection. Cisco also recently announced that French service provider SFR is using our Carrier Grade v6 solution to offer IPv6 services to their residential customers, while still preserving their existing infrastructure investments.
Many people still have questions on the issues and options associated with making the evolution to IPv6. Below, in part one of a four part series, Cisco's Kelly Ahuja, SVP Service Provider Chief Architecture Office and ACG Research's Managing Partner Dr. Ray Mota discuss the changed landscape which network operators face that is driving the adoption of IPv6 technology. Ray does make an interesting comment about 2011 being the year of the tablets – and not just for consumer use, but also for business applications. Another point that Ray makes with which we agree is the need for network operators make a near term plan which extends or preserves the use of existing IPv4 assets, and a longer term plan which can migrate services to IPv6 – seamlessly – when needed.
Also in this video is a segment by Gabriel Castro, a senior network engineer at Telecom Argentina. He discusses their approach to evaluate their network requirements when they set out to support IPv6 moving forward.
Watch for more of this continuing series through the end of June, which will highlight three additional video segments which address the service provider transition to IPv6.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Aboard the Seabourn Legend -Day 3by Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director
|Kuki's Daily Ship's Log -- Installment #1 - Day 1 Installment #2 - Day 2 Installment #3 - Day 3 Installment #4 - Day 4 Installment #5 - Day 5
Dinner with Captain Beur went pretty well. I didn't fall asleep at the table. We were joined at the table by a group of four friends from Great Britain. From the place cards I determined one was a Baroness, another was a "Lady" in the official colonial definition of the word. The foursome was very British, and for a moment I thought we had ended up in a Monty Python skit. But before I burst into laughter at the thought, a delightful couple from Texas joined us at the table as well. The food and service were exceptional, and we found Captain Beur to be a most charming host with a delightful sense of humor. At one point, someone at the table commented that the sailing was so smooth it felt as if the ship wasn't moving. The Captain didn't miss a beat when his retort, " I certainly hope it is."
During the course of the conversation we discovered that after 14 days coming from Florida, 80 passengers had disembarked in Acapulco, and there were only 135 passengers on the ship. With 165 crew members onboard this made for an interesting ratio. It also helped to explain why this ship seemed so quiet at night. Although I'd guess with the average age of passengers on this ship approaching the 60 + range, it would still be quiet even if there were another 50 or 60 passengers onboard.
Tonight the showroom was open, featuring the Huber Marionettes. Mrs. Kuki and I found the show quite cute, and entertaining. After the show I paid a visit to the casino to play some Blackjack as Mrs. Kuki headed to bed. The casino consists of 8 slot machines, a roulette wheel and two tables for Blackjack, manned by a staff of 3 very pleasant young women.
Peurto Vallarta
Peurto Vallarta surprised me with its beauty and cleanliness. During high season 50,000 additional tourist bodies are added, and it becomes a city of 300,000 people; Not a quaint Fishing village to be sure. Jose told us that unlike a lot of Mexico, Puerto Vallarta has a very low crime rate. 95 % of the local population is employed in industry related to tourism, and they are very appreciate of what tourism has done for their area and its economy.
Up until 39 years ago, the city had a population of 12,000. The boom to the area was sparked when filmmaker John Huson chose Mismoloya as the location for the making of the movie, Night of the Iguana. It was during the making of this film Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton began their infamous romance. Soon after she bought a home here, high in the hills. It wasn't long before many of Hollywood's stars followed, and the locals affectionately labeled the area "Gringo Gully". The growth hasn't really stopped since. Today it an energetic resort city, combining many fine beaches, shopping, a vibrant nightlife, and many restaurants and clubs.
Upon returning to the pier Mrs. Kuki shopped at the craft market located at the pier, while I checked my e-mail at the reasonably priced Internet Cafe next door. We then returned to the ship, and headed to the Sky Deck to enjoy the sunshine and the sail-away from a pleasant day in Puerto Vallarta.
Now that I've had a few days to meet and have discussions with many of my fellow passengers, I'm discovering what a loyal following Seabourn has. Most are past passengers, and most seem quite devoted to the line, and the pampered lifestyle it offers. They enjoy the sedate and intimate atmosphere onboard. As I discussed earlier, many of them are "older", but they seem to be well traveled, and reasonably physically fit. This ship is not well suited to people with mobility problems, and it doesn't seem to attract those who do. More so than other cruise lines which I've sailed, this ship seems to attract people who, from research or past experience, know what they can expect from the ship, and book it for those very reasons. Aside from not being a ship well suited to those looking for activity filled cruises, this ship is also not suited to tall people. The ceilings throughout the ship are low, and even at 6'3" tall, I "banged the noggin" a couple of times passing through some doorways. People much taller than me would have some difficulties sailing this ship.
One interesting thing to note, which surprised me, is that there are smoking sections in the dining room, as well as the alternate restaurant, and all the lounges onboard. Also surprisingly, on this sailing these smoking areas seemed to get considerable use. Being a member of the evil breed, the smoking sections were a bonus. Others might not be so pleased. The only positive for the nonsmokers might be, I never saw anyone smoking in any of the nonsmoking sections, or hanging around doorways and elevators.
Tonight we received an invitation to dine with one of the guest lecturers onboard. We declined the invitation, as I thought I might feel awkward, as I hadn't attended his talk.
With the low-level pace of this cruise Mrs. Kuki and I have been spending an inordinate amount of time together. It's turning out to be like a second honeymoon for us. Very similar to our first, when she slept, and I asked myself why I did it.
The Legend continues tomorrow in Cabo San Lucas, a place we loved when we visited on our first cruise in 1994. I'll let you know if it's changed, and what Mrs. Kuki did to me when she read the second last paragraph.

Valve's anti-cheat technology ran amok over the past couple of weeks and started banning Modern Warfare 2 players for no reason. Valve has now corrected the problem, and has un-banned these players. To compensate, they are offering a free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 to play and another to gift to a friend. A letter from Valve's Gabe Newell reproduced on Kotaku explains the problem, and the L4D2 deal: "We have reversed the ban, restoring your access to the game. In addition, we have given you a free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 to give as a gift on Steam, plus a free copy for yourself if you didn't already own the game."

About Red Steagall
Red Steagall has had three overlapping careers in the space of little more than 30 years and can take credit for discovering one great country talent, Reba McEntire. As a songwriter he's been responsible for over 200 compositions, several of which have become hits in the hands of other performers. As a Nashville-based artist, Steagall had his share of chart action in the 1970s and a few major hits. And as a singer of Western songs as well as an author of poetry about the West, he is one of modern music's cowboy balladeers.
Steagall was born Russell Steagall in Gainesville, TX, on December 22, 1938. He became a bull rider at rodeos while he was still a teenager, but at the age of 15 Steagall was stricken with polio and took up the guitar and the mandolin as therapy to recover the strength and dexterity of his arms and hands. He attended West Texas State University, and while he was there he formed his first group, a country band. Steagall went to the West Coast, where he had some success playing the folk clubs in the area around Los Angeles and had his first success as a songwriter in 1967, at age 30, when Ray Charles recorded his "Here We Go Again," which was later covered by Nancy Sinatra.
Steagall was signed to Dot Records in 1968, but after three years he moved over to Capitol, where he had his first country hit, "Party Dolls and Wine," in 1972 under the name Steagall. Soon after, he had a Top 20 country hit with "Somewhere My Love." He moved to Nashville in 1973 and followed up these two singles with two more hits, "True Love" and "If You've Got the Time." Steagall was a regular guest at rodeos, and while he was performing at the National Rodeo Finals in Oklahoma City in 1974, he spotted a young singer named Reba McEntire who was appearing with her family. He got her to record a demo and made sure that it was heard by anyone who could do McEntire some good, which resulted in her being signed to a recording contract while still in her teens.
Steagall continued to have hits, including "I Gave Up Good Morning Darling" and "The Finer Things in Life," both of which made the Top 20, and scored a Top 15 single with "Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music" in 1976. His recording of "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" made the charts as well. In the late '70s, he began moving toward Western music as much as country. Steagall moved to Elektra Records in 1979, and in 1980, he decided to leave Nashville and took up residence at his ranch near Fort Worth.
His Western recordings began yet another phase to Steagall's career. With his band, the Coleman County Boys, he became singularly popular at rodeos, and his records achieved a major following among fans of cowboy songs. His poems "Ride for the Brand" and "Born to This Land" were also extremely popular, and during the 1980s Steagall also had acting roles in several films, including Benji the Hunted, Dark Before Dawn, and Big Bad John.
In 1991, the Texas legislature voted Steagall the Official Cowboy Poet of Texas. Soon after, he began recording for the Warner Western imprint, issuing Born to This Land in 1993. Steagall recorded steadily throughout the decade, releasing Faith and Values in 1995, Dear Mama, I'm a Cowboy in 1997, and Love of the West in 1999. Wagon Tracks appeared in 2002 from Shanachie Records, followed by The Wind the Wire and the Rail from Wildcatter Records in 2006. ~ Bruce Eder
