Hailey shared his expertise using digital and thermal images captured via aerial photography that could help researchers gather informa- tion on the Alkali Station, a post on the Oregon Trail in Keith County, Nebraska. The Alkali images were taken dur- ing a workshop sponsored by the National Park Service on non-destructive investigative techniques. Hailey is an associate pro- fessor of anthropology in Northwestern State University’s Department of Criminal Justice, History and Social Sciences. Working near the Cedar Point Biological Station and Alkali Station site near Ogallala, Neb., Hailey piloted the NSU Cultural Resource Center’s powered parachute and shared operating procedures for photographing sites. He demonstrated how to use low- altitude aerial reconnais- sance flights to capture still and video digital images as well as thermal images that help researchers identify fea- tures of archaeological inter- est and document the site as it currently appears. “When documenting a site for the first time, the NSU Cultural Resource Office’s standard operating procedure is to photograph the area from a distance and from mul- tiple directions, followed by more intensive photography at closer range,” Hailey said. “The distance photographs allow the site to be seen in its current natural and cultural contexts and provide refer- ence points for future researchers.” Hailey shot oblique and near-vertical angle images from high altitudes of 1,000- 1,200 feet as well as low-alti- tude obliques from 300-500 feet, depending on the charac- teristics of the site. Photos were first examined in their original state, then processed using Adobe Photoshop soft- ware, he explained. Images are filtered to remove atmos- phere haze, enhance color and make features more visible. “Thermal imaging cameras record images beyond the range of human vision, at the far end of the infrared spec- trum,” Hailey said. “Within these images, the outline of the rectangular remnants of the fort are quite distinct, as are the wagon ruts of the Old Oregon Trail and ruts going off in a northeasterly direc- tion from the east side of the fort.” The adjusted images also reveal details in the landscape that permit the identification of a number of cultural and natural features of interest, such as wagon ruts, dry streambeds, the larger rectan- gular part of the fort and depressions that could be the remnants of structures asso- ciated with the fort. They also show the arrangement of what appear to be dividing walls within the fort and an apparent entrance on the south side. Many depict Oregon Trail ruts meander- ing through and around nat- ural obstacles before disap- pearing beneath the conver- gence of modern roads and traces of what may be the remains of a settlement. “These interpretations are purely speculative but other observations seem to lend cre- dence to them, as least in my opinion. They do seem to roughly match up with the historic plan of Fort Alkali,” Hailey said. “These observa- tions may not be news to archaeologists familiar with the site, but if these features prove to be new discoveries and if they are associated with Fort Alkali, then the findings would be potentially be quite significant.” The workshop was a unique opportunity for Hailey to share procedures for documenting a significant historical site by means of low-altitude aerial reconnais- sance utilizing the NSU Cultural Resource Office pow- ered parachute. Over the course of three morning flights, digital photographs and video as well as thermal still images and video were captured. “These images provide a record of the appearance of the site at the time of the workshop and will allow archaeologists studying the site to gain new perspec- tives,” Hailey said. “The potential for aerial reconnais- sance at Alkali has not been exhausted. Thermal imaging and digital photography may yet reveal features associated with Alkali Station that may continue to enhance our understanding of the inhabi- tants of Alkali Station.” Dr. Tommy Hailey gathered digital images by piloting the NSU Cultural Resource Center’s powered parachute. Research can compare ther- mal images with a digital image of the same site, overlaid with an outline of the Alkali Station in Keith County, Nebraska.

T-shirt Sponsor Natchitoches Parish Sheriff ’s Deputies have arrested a Robeline man after he went to his 83-year-old grandmothers residence in the Flora community, commit- ting a battery upon her according to Natchitoches Parish Sheriff Victor Jones Jr. At approximately 5:45 p.m. Nov. 15, Sheriff’s deputies received a complaint in the 1800 block of La. Hwy 120, Flora, La., of a elderly female possibly being abused by a relative. While talking to the victim, deputies learned that her grandson, allegedly grabbed her by the arms, shook her and pushed her into the wall. At approximately 8:57 p.m. arrested Daryl Brett Beaudion, 32, of the same address as the victim. He was booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center charged with simple battery and cruelty to the infirmed. The case will be turned over to the Natchitoches Parish District Attorney’s Office. Jones said that laws have been enacted by the State to protect the elderly, and if someone is abusive to an elderly person, deputies will take the appropriate enforce- ment action to protect them from harm. If you know of anyone being abused, contact the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff ’s Office at 318-352-6432.

There was one fatality in Troop E that includes Natchitoches Parish although the fatality was in on this parish. Seven of the 14 people killed were not wearing seat belts and two of the crashes involved driver impairment. Louisiana law requires every occupant, regardless of seating position, to be proper- ly restrained. Seat belts sig- nificantly reduce injuries and fatalities when worn properly and they ensure that the per- son remains inside the vehi- cle.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP)— Prosecutors and defenseattorneys in the case of for-mer Lake Charles gynecolo-gist Peter LaFuria haveagreed to allow 25 items tobe entered into evidence,concluding a pretrial pro-ceeding to suppress evi-dence.
State District Judge DavidRitchie said Monday bothsides must submit legalbriefs by Dec. 13 arguingtheir stance on the motion tosuppress evidence and amotion to change venue.Ritchie said he will issue aruling on both motions Dec.18.
The American Pressreports LaFuria is chargedwith 186 counts of videovoyeurism, 78 counts of sex-ual battery and five countsof molestation of a juvenile.
The case dates from April2007.
Defense attorney GlenVamvoras said the 25 itemsentered into evidence includ-ed evidence logs and notes,letters from prosecutorCynthia Killingsworth toVamvoras, letters fromKillingsworth to the 14thJudicial District Court and asupplemental offense report.
Other allowed items weretest scores and training doc-uments of Calcasieu ParishSheriff's Office DetectivePatty Bailey and an affidavitfrom evidence custodianJeremy Leroy on "his effortsto sort out the location ofevidence at the time ofseizure."
Prosecutor Hugo HollandJr. said they agreed to allowentering the items into evi-dence because it was "a more
efficient use of the court'stime than fighting that stuffout in open court." He saidthat prosecutors believe theevidence documents submit-ted by the defense aren't rele-vant to the case.
Vamvoras said theyrequested the change ofvenue because the publicitysurrounding the case haslikely influenced potentialjurors and could lead to anunfair trial.
"It's going to be very hardto pick a jury that has notbeen influenced in somedegree, one way or another,by what they've read, seenand heard," he said.
Vamvoras said the ques-tioning of 50 prospectivejurors two weeks ago indicat-ed that many people knewabout the case and alreadyhad opinions on it.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP)— New regulations thatwould have forcedshrimpers to install deviceson their nets to save endan-gered sea turtles werescrapped Tuesday by feder-al officials.
The National Oceanicand AtmosphericAdministration said it iswithdrawing plans torequire "turtle excluderdevices" for small fishingoperations that trawl forshrimp in state waters.
NOAA said data collectedover the summer showedthe devices — which areescape hatches for sea tur-tles on nets — may not keepsmall turtles from beingcaught in the shallowerwaters that would havebeen subject to the require-ment.
"The information wenow have suggests the con-
servation benefit does notjustify the burden this rulewould place on the indus-try. We need more researchlooking at differentoptions," Roy Crabtree,southeast regional admin-istrator for NOAAFisheries, said in a state-ment.
The rules had been set totake effect by spring. Gulfof Mexico shrimpers hadsaid the requirement couldpush them out of business.The change would haveaffected 2,600 fishermen,including an estimated2,300 vessels in Louisiana.
Crabtree said federalofficials will continue theirresearch to help preventturtle deaths.
"We're not abandoningthis issue. There's justmore work that needs to bedone to get it right," hesaid.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP)— The neighbor charged inthe killing of a 6-year-oldArkansas girl was a familyfriend, police said Tuesday.
Bentonville Police ChiefJon Simpson describedZachary Holly, 28, as "anacquaintance" and a familyfriend who is from the area.Holly is being held in theBenton County Jail on chargesof capital murder, kidnappingand residential burglary.
Jersey Bridgeman, whosehigh-profile child abuse caselast year sent her father andstepmother to prison, wasreported missing the morningof Nov. 20. Minutes after asearch for her began, Jersey'sbody was discovered in anabandoned house two doorsfrom her home in Bentonville.
Holly and his wife live nextdoor to where Jersey was stay-ing, police said. Court recordsshow the couple was marriedin March. Holly worked at afast-food restaurant, Simpsonsaid.
Simpson told TheAssociated Press the coupledidn't have any children, butthat Holly's wife has a childwho is "pretty much the sameage as our victim." Simpsonwould not give specifics onhow well the families kneweach other.
When asked if Jersey andthe child of Holly's wife werefriends, Simpson said,"They're the same age, I thinkyou could categorize them asfamily friends, acquaintances,all that."
Simpson said Monday thatHolly will have a bail andprobable cause hearingWednesday, during which aprobable cause affidavit willbe released. At that point,"many questions related tothis investigation and arrestwill be answered," Simpsonsaid.
He wouldn't release detailsTuesday of how Jersey died orwhat led police to Holly, norwould he discuss possiblemotives.
Prosecutor Van Stone did-n't return phone messagesTuesday seeking comment.
Jersey's short life wascheckered with discomfort.About a year before her death,her father and stepmotherwere charged with abuse afterinvestigators discovered theyhad chained her to a dresserto stop her wandering aroundthe house at night. DavidBridgeman, Jersey's father,told investigators herestrained his daughter toprevent her from getting intomedication and other thingsaround the house.
David and JanaBridgeman, Jersey's step-mother, pleaded guilty inJune to false imprisonment,permitting abuse of a minorand endangering the welfareof a minor.
Jana Bridgeman is servinga 12-year prison sentence,plus three years for a proba-tion revocation. DavidBridgeman is serving an 18-year prison sentence.

The Bill of Rights (Declared in force December 15, 1791.

In what may have been the apex of Gov. Bobby Jindal’spower and influence over the Legislature, his team pressednon-stop to push through a far-reaching package of educationbills in the first three weeks of this year’s session, which is con-sidered warp speed at the Capitol.
The centerpiece of those laws, establishing a statewidevoucher program by which over 5,000 public school studentsare having their tuition paid to attend private and churchschools, faces challenges in state and federal courts. A rulinghanded down this week does not bode well for Jindal’s neworder for education, while it might also change the course ofschooling, again, for many of those 5,000 children.
Trial is scheduled to start on Wednesday in state districtcourt in Baton Rouge on a lawsuit brought by two majorteacher unions and 43 local school boards, who are challengingthe constitutionality of how the vouchers are funded and howthe law was passed.
But earlier this week, the voucher law was dealt a heavyblow when a federal judge in New Orleans ruled that it, alongwith a law revamping teacher tenure, conflicts with his schooldesegregation order in Tangipahoa Parish. While his rulingonly affects one parish, dozens of other school districts underdesegregation orders in Louisiana could be their way to feder-al court soon to raise the same point.
There are multiple issues in both suits, but central to bothare the school boards’ claims that the state is illegally divertinglocal tax dollars, dedicated to public schools, to pay to send stu-dents to private schools. The suit in state court claims thatpractice violates the state constitution. In the Tangipahoa casein federal court, the school board argues that using local fundsfor vouchers makes it impossible for it to comply with thejudge’s order mandating new school construction and magnetschool programs.
In both cases, the state’s response is pretty simple: there areno local funds in vouchers.
With over $40 million running through the voucher pro-gram, it would seem not hard to sort out where the moneycomes from. Yet that debate has raged from the time the vouch-er bill was filed.
The Legislature supports public education through theMinimum Foundation Program, which allocates $3.3 billion instate money to the 69 school districts according to a complexformula, based largely on enrollment and the taxable wealth ineach district. So the state portion for each district variesaccording to how much each parish or municipality is capableof raising for its local share.
The Jindal administration realized from the start that to uselocal tax dollars to finance vouchers would not only raise a con-stitutional issue but also create a major political obstacle in theLegislature.
So, as the bill was written, the state deducts from what theMFP pays to local districts an amount nearly equal to the stateportion and what the districts raise locally. Technically, onlystate dollars go to vouchers, but the school boards argue that inreality they are being docked for both the state and local por-tions for each voucher student.
The state’s lawyers did not seem overly concerned with theschool boards and teacher unions sued, since, normally, statecourts give wide latitude to the will of the Legislature and thegovernor.
Those concerns heightened, however, when U.S. DistrictJudge Ivan Lemelle ordered the state Department of Educationinto federal court to show that it was not getting in the way ofhis desegregation order.
At Monday’s hearing, apparently he did not buy the seman-tics of the state’s argument that no local money was beingused. Instead, the judge agreed with the local school district’sposition that the voucher law, however it is worded, results inthe school board having less local money to carry out thejudge’s order in the 47-year-old desegregation case.
The state, of course, can appeal, but it may soon have to fighton new fronts. Since many of the school boards suing the statealso are under desegregation order, they no doubt will go in fed-eral court soon to argue that the voucher and tenure laws inter-fere with their compliance efforts too, thus threatening tomake hash of the governor’s new order for education. Likeother governors before him, Jindal may find that his power andcontrol at the Capitol end at the federal courthouse steps.

Dear Editor:Speaking for all the citizens who live on Vienna Bend Drive,
I wish to express appreciation to Vienna Bend folks who workedtirelessly to convince the Natchitoches Parish Police Jury toresurface Vienna Bend Drive, a task completed in late October.We met with the Jury from time to time and, in a most civilmanner, expressed our concern about the horrible condition ofour short street which serves 50 families.
We also express appreciation to the Police Jury and its stafffor making the hard decision to repave our road before thechange in the parish governmental system. The Jury couldhave easily washed their hands of our strong request to act.Instead, the Jury adopted two motions by unanimous vote touse available funds to fix our street, and John Salter and theentire Jury acted quickly and effectively.
One positive development came out of the effort. People onour street know each other most better now, and we are poisedto speak effectively to the new Home Rule Administration toaddress the many issues that we face in building a neighbor-hood of strong real estate values and to keep our street safe fordriving, safe for children, safe for our pets, and safe for those ofus who use it for a “walking park” in our efforts to fool the Devilof Old Age.

Dear Editor:Last week, my husband and I nearly lost our sweet “Miss
Lucky” to parvo. She came to us in July, after my min-pin“Mr.Wilson” found her in the bushes near our house. She hadbeen severely beaten with blunt force trauma to her head andher C-1 and C-2 were severely misaligned. The vet gave us lit-tle hope. We took her home, loved her, prayed for her and didwhat the vet told us we needed to do. For 72 hours we watchedand waited through the seizures and eyedropper feedingsand after that 72 hours passed she became a happy, playfulpuppy.
Then last Tuesday night, she began to vomit, refused foodand became very listless. Wednesday morning we took her tothe vet, after a battery of tests found out it was PARVO.
We were given a 20 percent chance of survival for her. But,after 6 days of intensive I.V. treatment and 24-hour care wetook her home today. I would publicly like to say a heartfeltthank you to and the medical wisdom of Drs. Keiffer andPeaznell, Natchitoches Animal Hospital and WursterVetinary Clinic and a special heart felt thanks to Donielleand Cherie Wurster for the awesome care and compassionthey showed. Because of these wonderful people we have“Miss Lucky”. Please vaccinate all of your animals andplease spay and neuter them too. For every 35 animalsbrought to a shelter 34 are euthanized.
Thank you and God Bless.Caroline T. Graves
CAIRO (AP) — Thousands flocked to Cairo's central Tahrirsquare on Tuesday for a protest against Egypt's president in a sig-nificant test of whether the opposition can rally the street behindit in a confrontation aimed at forcing the Islamist leader torescind decrees that granted him near absolute powers.
Waving Egypt's red, white and black flags and chanting slogansagainst President Mohammed Morsi and his MuslimBrotherhood, the protesters joined several hundreds who havebeen camping out at the square since Friday demanding thedecrees be revoked.
Even as the crowds swelled, clashes erupted nearby betweenseveral hundred young protesters throwing stones and police fir-ing tear gas on a street off Tahrir leading to the U.S. Embassy.Clashes have been taking place at the site for several days fueledby anger over police abuses, separately from the crisis over Morsi.
The president's declaration last week of new powers for him-self has energized and — to a degree unified — the mostly liberaland secular opposition after months of divisions and uncertaintywhile Islamists from the Muslim Brotherhood and other groupsrose to dominate the political landscape.
The turnout for Tuesday's protest call is key to whether theopposition can keep a movement going against Morsi. While theedicts last week sparked the protests, they have also been fueledby anger over what critics see as the Brotherhood's monopolizingof power after its election victories the past year for parliamentand the presidency.
"We want to change this whole setting. The Brotherhoodhijacked the revolution," said Rafat Magdi, an engineer who wasamong a crowd of around 2,000 marching from the Cairo districtof Shubra to Tahrir to join the rally. "People woke up by his mis-takes, and any new elections they will get no votes."
Morsi's decrees, issued Thursday, placed him above any kind ofoversight, including that of the courts, until a new constitution isadopted and parliamentary elections are held — a timeline thatstretches to mid-2013.
The opposition says the decrees give Morsi near dictatorialpowers by neutralizing the judiciary at a time when he alreadyholds executive and legislative powers. Leading judges have alsodenounced the measures.
Morsi says the decrees are necessary to protect the "revolution"and the nation's transition to democratic rule. His declarationmade all his decisions immune to judicial review and banned thecourts from dissolving the upper house of parliament and anassembly writing the new constitution, both of which are domi-nated by Islamists. The decree also gave Morsi sweeping authori-ty to stop any "threats" to the revolution.
By early afternoon, nearly 20,000 people were at Tahrir, birth-place of the 18-day popular uprising that toppled President HosniMubarak's authoritarian regime nearly two years ago. Securitywas tightened across Cairo, with police checking ID papers andsearching cars coming into the center, but there was no sign ofprotesters being stopped from reaching Tahrir.
A chaotic city of some 18 million people, Cairo's traffic wasuncharacteristically light on Tuesday, with many businesses andgovernment offices closing shop early in anticipation of possibleunrest.
A new banner in the square proclaimed, "The Brotherhoodstole the country" and one protester, Mahmoud Youssef, said: "Weare here to bring down the constitutional declaration issued byMorsi." Many chanted the iconic slogans "the people want tobring down the regime."
Several thousand lawyers meanwhile gathered outside theirunion building in downtown Cairo ahead of their march toTahrir to join protesters there. "Leave, leave," they chanted,addressing Morsi, who narrowly won elections in June to becomethe country's first freely elected civilian president.
In the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, some 3,000 anti-Morsiprotesters gathered outside the main court at the center of theancient city.
Morsi's supporters canceled a massive rally they had plannedfor Tuesday, citing the need to "defuse tension" after a series ofclashes between the two camps since the decrees were issuedThursday.
But a Brotherhood spokesman said demonstrations supportingthe president could go ahead outside the capital and that support-ers would form human chains in some provinces to protectBrotherhood offices. Morsi's supporters say more than a dozen oftheir offices have been ransacked or set ablaze since Friday. Some5,000 demonstrated in the southern city of Assiut in support ofMorsi's decrees, according to witnesses there.
On Monday, Morsi met with the nation's top judges and tried towin their acceptance of his decrees. But the move was dismissedby many in the opposition and the judiciary as providing no realconcessions.

VIENNA (AP) — A diagram obtained by The Associated Pressshows that Iranian scientists have run computer simulations for anuclear weapon that would produce more than triple the explosiveforce of the World War II bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.
The diagram was leaked by officials of a country critical ofIran's atomic program to bolster their arguments that Iran'snuclear program must be halted before it produces a weapon.They provided the diagram only on condition that they and theircountry were not named.
The International Atomic Energy Agency — the Vienna-basedU.N. nuclear watchdog — reported last year that it had obtaineddiagrams indicating Iran was calculating the "nuclear explosiveyield" of potential weapons.

Dear Annie: I am awoman who follows a strictdiet. It has nothing to dowith weight or any medicalcondition. I don’t care aboutcalories. It’s about eatingorganic, and there are a lotof things I do not tolerate,such as corn syrup, food col-oring, table sugar, unfilteredwater, etc.
If I do not approve of atreat someone has made, is itappropriate to politelydecline to accept it? On occa-sions where I’m given some-thing I don’t have to eat in
front of them, I graciouslyaccept it and then give itaway later. What if I’m on adate and the guy wants totake me where I wouldn’tordinarily eat? Should Iinsist on sticking to my diet?
I can handle a fewsplurges here and there, buthow do I avoid constantlyeating junk without beingrude or weird? I live in arural area, so there are notmany restaurant choices. —Upstate Dieter
Dear Dieter: If someoneoffers you food that you pre-fer not to eat, don’t feelobligated to stick it in yourmouth. Say “thank you” andput it aside, or if you arefeeling expansive, explainthat you have difficulty tol-erating certain foods. Whenout on a date, you will need
to be flexible if your choicesare limited. Most restau-rants have options that,while not ideal, are tolerableon occasion — plain bakedchicken or fish, for example.On subsequent dates, whenyou know each other better,let the guy know that youonly eat organic. Then offerto cook him dinner.
Dear Annie: My mom isin her 60s and has been bothdivorced and widowed. Shewould love to find someoneto spend time with, and wewant her to be happy.
The problem is, Mom hasdevoted herself to this “mansearch” to the point thatnothing else is important.When she meets a man, shebecomes totally absorbed inhim. When we ask her to dothings with her grandchil-
dren, she replies, “I don’tknow. I might get a betteroffer.” When we invite her tothe kids’ events, she says,“I’m not sure. I am hopingsomeone will ask me out.”
Now we don’t call as muchbecause it hurts to knowwe’re second best to any guyshe just met. Mom is oftenlonely because she waits bythe phone for “him” insteadof doing things with otherpeople. We wish she wouldalso remember to make timefor the family who loves herand the friends who want tospend time with her. Instead,she neglects us for any manwho pops into her life. Whatcan we do? — Never theBetter Offer
Dear Never: There’s notmuch you can do if yourmother insists on behaving
like an adolescent girl. Tryto accept this behavior asbest you can. It isn’t intend-ed to hurt you. Mom’s self-worth is tied to having aman in her life, and withoutone, she doesn’t feel she hasvalue.
Dear Annie: I read theletter from “JustWondering,” whose daugh-ter-in-law has an overlyclose relationship with her20-year-old son.
My son was 4 years oldwhen his father and Idivorced. A few years later,his dad left his life for good.My son has struggledthroughout his years withsocial anxiety and manyother mental issues, and wehave been to counseling. Heis also abnormally close tome and doesn’t like to leave
my side. Now that he is a teenager,
people comment that it isnot normal and he should beout with his friends. It isvery easy for people to judgewithout knowing what it’slike to have a child whostruggles with life. I doagree with your answer,though, that the familyneeds ongoing counseling.— SFIP

By Amanda Franko-TobinHo ho ho and pass the holiday goodies.
It’s the time of year when food, familiesand festivals collide. This cheer isn’t necessarily work
free. However, thereare definitely steps
y o ucan take
to lightenyour load.
In between decorating the house andwrapping gifts, take a peek at these simpleand tasty recipes.
Most are desserts. Though there are afew healthy and snack options. All call for twoingredients so it’s easy (and cheap) to whip up a bigbatch or experiment with something new. Try the dateenergy bars, chocolate bark and coconut cookie ballsfor no bake sweets.
Cookies and CreamBark
Ingredients10 ounces white choco-
late chips18 regular size Oreos
DirectionsLine 8x8 inch pan with
wax or parchment paper,leaving a 1 inch overhangon each side. Place choco-late chips in double boilerover low heat and stir con-tinuously until completelymelted. Transfer chocolateto heat-proof bowl and letcool 5 minutes.
Add 15 chopped Oreosand stir to combine. Pourmixture into pan and chillfor 10 minutes or untilchocolate is solid.
Lift whole bark out ofpan by holding on to waxpaper. Split into pieceswith a fork.
Tips for Treats> Use mini-Oreos to cut
down on chopping time.>Substitute white
chocolate with milk, darkor flavored chocolate.
> Sprinkle the topswith finely crushed Oreosor drizzled chocolate.This is the prettier thanthe slightly gray tint ofthe candy.
Date Square Energy Bars
Ingredients2 cups of plump fresh dates 1 cup oats, not instant 1/4 cup water
DirectionsLightly ground the oats in a food processor, just for a few
pulses. Remove oats and put in water and dates. Pulsatewater and dates until a thick, smooth paste forms. Add morewater if necessary for desired texture. It should be the con-sistency of a thick jam.
Add the oats and pulsate until blended. Press the mixtureinto the bottom of a glass pan to about 1/2 inch thicknessand chill.
Maple Soufflé
Ingredients2 eggs1/3 cup maple syrup
DirectionsPreheat oven to 400
degrees. Separate eggwhites and yolks.
In a small bowl, whisktogether the two egg yolksand maple syrup untilevenly distributed.
In a stainless steel bowl,beat egg whites until softpeaks form. (Hard peaksare also okay.)
Fold the maple syrupmixture into the whippedegg whites. Pour into fourramekins. Place ramekinson a baking sheet.
Place baking sheet inthe oven and immediatelyturn temperature to 375degrees. Bake for 10 min-utes, or until puffed up.
Tips for Treats> If dates are not soft and
caramely, soak overnight injust enough water to cover
Flourless Chocolate Cake
Ingredients4 eggs8 1/2 ounces Nutella
DirectionsGrease a 6 or 7 inch round pan. Line with parchment
paper on sides and bottom. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Using a mixer, beat eggs on highest speed until about
triple in volume, about 6 minutes. Microwave Nutella for 20 seconds to soften Add 1/3 of
beaten eggs. Stir clockwise with a spatula until all of theegg is mixed in with no remaining streaks. Add another 1/3of egg mixture and fold in completely. Add remaining 1/3,being sure to include any foam sticking to the mixing bowl.Stir until there are no streaks.
Pour batter into pan. Bake 20-25 minutes, until insertedknife comes out clean. Let cake cool prior to slicing.
Multi-Purpose Pizza Dough
Ingredients1 cup self-rising flour plus some for dusting1 cup Greek yogurt
DirectionsCombine flour and yogurt. Form a ball. Turn out on
floured board and knead. Knead and roll for 5-8 minutes.Roll into a pizza shape and add toppings. Bake at 500degrees for 12 minutes.
Tips for Treats> If the dough seems a little wet when you mix it, sprin-
kle with more flour.> The more you knead, the more pliable and stretchy it
becomes.> Add pizza toppings of choice for a kid-friendly meal or
use as a base for garlic bread and cheesy breadsticks.
Exception to the Rule:
3 Ingredient Peanut Butter CookiesIngredients1 cup peanut butter,
creamy or crunchy1 egg1 cup sugar
DirectionsPreheat oven to 350
degrees. Bake for 6-8 min-utes.

Coconut CookieDough Balls
Ingredients2/3 cup pitted dates1 1/2 TBsp. coconut oil
DirectionsBlend everything
together in a food proces-sor. Smush into one bigball then roll into littleballs.
Tips for Treats> Coconut oil has the
consistency of butterwhen left at room tempera-ture. It is available atmajor grocery stores.
> Amp up flavor and tex-ture with a tiny pinch ofsalt, shredded coconut,chocolate chips or choppednuts.
Guilt-Free CookiesIngredients2 large bananas, prefer-
ably brown1 cup quick oats
DirectionsPreheat oven to 350
degrees. Mix bananas andoats together. Sincebananas are all differentsizes, the needed measure-ments may vary.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012:This year you often will switch
from one outlook to the next. You evenmight feel like a human seesaw ofsorts. For some of you, a person inyour inner circle could try to reflectthe opposite opinion of what youchoose. Instead of using black-and-white thinking, try to see that bothviewpoints could work, and strive tofind some middle ground. If you aresingle, you could meet someone sig-nificant to your life history, but youcould have difficulty with the differ-ences between you. If you areattached, resist the urge to fight withthe one you love. GEMINI can chal-lenge you.
The Stars Show the Kind of DayYou’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH The unexpected occurs,
like it or not. You might feel as if youcan’t make a situation conform to yourexpectations — or anyone else’s, forthat matter. Stop attempting to handlethis issue, and just let it flow naturally.Tonight: Make calls before deciding.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)HHH If ever there was a time not
to make a money commitment, it istoday. Use care, even when countingyour change. If you feel as though youare fiscally careless in some area,decide to change that pattern — if notimmediately, then in the very nearfuture. Tonight: A lucky turn of events.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be over-
whelmed by everything that is hap-pening right now; however, know thatyou might be the linchpin in this case.Though at first you might not be ableto get a grasp on the situation, youwill, and faster than you think.Tonight: Enjoy the roller-coaster ride.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Full Moons greatly affect
you, as your planetary ruler is theMoon. This particular Full Moon is aneclipse, which promises changes in thenext few months with a child or a rela-tionship. The outcome could be verygood. Go with the flow, and take iteasy. Tonight: Listen well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Something that you want
might fall into your lap in a mostsecretive manner ... perhaps not today,but in the near future. A friend couldcomplicate your life. It is up to youwhether you will make a fuss about itor just let it go. Remain focused on adifferent matter in the meantime.Tonight: Celebrate.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Decide to loosen up rather
than fight city hall. A boss could bedemanding, which might cause a con-flict for you with someone who hasother plans. At the moment, you areseeing the situation as black and white.Try to find a way in which bothdemands can be met. Tonight: A mustappearance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHHThe unexpected marks a
situation. You might be trying to holdon to something that really isn’t doableat the moment. Let it go. News from adistance might impress you, or at leastmake you smile. Know that you areheading in the right direction. Tonight:Act on an idea.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be seeing a lot
of back-and-forth in several of yourmore substantial friendships. Knowthat there is very little you can do tochange this. Remain true to yourself,yet be willing to discuss a financialmatter with a key person. Tonight: Say“yes” to an offer.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Having to juggle mixed
energy, incoming requests and someirrational behavior could throw any-one off. Remain focused on what’smost important, and you will weatherthe storm. Stay on top of these hasslesand allow greater give-and-take.Tonight: Go with someone’s sugges-tion.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Pace yourself, and you’ll
accomplish a lot more than youthought possible. Understand that youmight need to cut someone off orignore a situation altogether in order todo this. Avoid getting involved in oth-ers’ issues; use this day for you.Tonight: Get some exercise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You see a situation dif-
ferently from others. You often comeup with some far-fetched ideas, andthis is yet another example. Your driveand energy help you turn an importantidea into reality. Friendship will pre-vail, even if a quarrel begins. Tonight:Spend time with a favorite person.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Stay anchored, know what
is happening and make choicesaccordingly. You could be a little off-kilter because of what someone does.Understand that you do not need to putyourself in the line of fire; instead, youcan withdraw and refuse to take part inthis person’s scenario.

We didn’trespond well, and we didn’tget some shots to fall that nor-mally do. They did a fabulousjob with post defense and did agreat job of stagnating us.”

The Louisiana Departmentof Wildlife and Fisheries hascontracted two days of an aer-ial herbicide application tocontrol 800 acres of giantsalvinia growth on ToledoBend beginning Thursday,November 29. Efforts will con-centrate on shallow backwaterareas void of trees, and a fol-low-up herbicide spray via air-boats will address the remain-ing tree-filled waters andedges of the treatment area.
Giant salvinia is a free float-ing plant that does not attachto the soil, but insteadremains buoyant on the sur-face of a body of water. It wasfirst discovered on ToledoBend in 1998 and was the firstestablished population of theplant in Louisiana.
The recent drought andresulting extremely low waterlevels helped to keep giantsalvinia growth at a mini-mum. However, water levelsare beginning to return to nor-mal, providing lots of openwater for the plants to repro-duce. Backwaters and marshareas on the extreme northend of the lake contain largequantities of the plant, andchanges in wind direction andrain can push the plants outinto the main lake where itcan reproduce at an alarmingrate.
With cooler temperaturesmoving in, results may bedelayed, but the overall effec-tiveness of the herbicide willnot be impacted.Results areexpected within three days.

NATCHITOCHES- Eightteams that participated in the2012 NCAA BaseballChampionships headline arigorous 2013 NorthwesternState baseball campaignannounced by first-year headcoach Lane Burroughs.
Texas A&M, Louisiana-Monroe, LSU, Missouri State,Oklahoma, Oral Roberts,
Sam Houston State, andTexas Christian University alltook part in
regionals, and LSU,Oklahoma, and TCU advancedto super regionals.
The tough 56-game sched-ule features teams from theBig 12, SEC, Conference-USA,Sun Belt, Missouri Valley,Western Athletic Conference,Great West, and SouthwesternAthletic Conference.
In my 18 years of coachingit is without a doubt thetoughest non-conferenceschedule I¹ve experienced,said Burroughs.
Northwestern State willplay three very strenuousroad swings. The first is fromFeb. 26-Mar. 6 playing seven,then an eight-game test fromMar. 9-20, and then a nine-game run towards the end ofthe season from Apr.30-May14.
We are preparing our teamfor this. We talk about it allthe time, and we want them tohave a chip on their shoulder,²said Burroughs. We did every-thing in our power to try andget more home games, but thisis what we have and our guyswill absolutely attack it witheverything they have.
I think in order to hopefullyget an at-large bid, it is impor-tant to play RPI games, hesaid. ³We are doing this andwill continue to do so.
With that said, our numberone goal is to win theSouthland Conference.
The Demons host three ofthe top four remaining SLCteams from 2012 including lastyear¹s champion SamHouston and runner-upSoutheastern Louisiana.Webasically go 14 of 15 on theroad with some very tough,quality opponents that lead usright into league play,² saidBurroughs. If that stretchdoesn¹t prepare and test us, Ireally don¹t know what will.
NSU opens up at home witha three-game series againstGrambling Feb. 15, on the road
for a single game atLouisiana-Lafayette Feb. 20,and then a three-game set athome with Texas-PanAmerican Feb. 22.
The Demons then open theseven-game road swing featur-ing a two-game set with TexasA&M, three games withMissouri State, and then twoagainst Tulane.
