"Auld Lang Syne" is sung at the stroke of midnight to bring in the
new year. Early variations of the song weie sung prior to 1700 and
inspired Robert Burns to produce the version we know. An old Scot-

Rocketry Eggs Students On To Studying STEM
(NAPS)--Some clever kids
will win a share of $100,000--for
not breaking eggs.
That's because they'll take part
in the Team America Rocketry
Challenge (TARC), the world's
largest student rocket contest and
a key piece of the aerospace and
defense industry's strategy to
build a stronger U.S. workforce in
science, technology, engineering
and mathematics. This year's con-
test challenges students to design,
build and fly a rocket carrying two
raw eggs to an altitude of 850 feet
and return them to ground with
the eggs uncracked within 44 to
46 seconds.
Much more than broken eggs
are at stake. According to the U.S.
Department of Education, this
country has developed as a global
leader, in large part, through the
genius and hard work of its scien-
tists, engineers and innovators. In
a world that's becoming increas-
ingly complex, where success is
driven not only by what you know
but by what you can do with what
you know, it's more important than
ever for our youth to be equipped
with the knowledge and skills to
solve tough problems, gather and
evaluate evidence, and make sense
of information. These are the types
of skills that students learn by
studying science, technology, engi-
neering and math--subjects collec-
tively known as STEM.
As President Obama remarked,
"[Science] is more than a school
subject, or the periodic table, or
the properties of waves. It is an
approach.to the world, a critical
way to understand and explore
and engage with the world, and
then have the capacity to change
that world."
A talented team of science stu-
dents may net $100,000 in cash
and scholarships in a rocketry
contest.
As part of this effort to develop
future scientists, approximately
4,000 middle and high school stu-
dents from across the nation com-
pete in TARC each year. Sponsored
by the Aerospace Industries Asso-
ciation (AIA) and the National Asso-
ciation of Rocketry (NAR), TARC
was created in the fall of 2002 as a
one-time celebration of the Cen-
tennial of Flight, but by popular
demand became an annual program.
Based on local qualification
flights, the top 100 teams are
invited to Washington, D.C. in May
for the National Finals. Top placing
teams split more than $100,000 in
cash and scholarships and the over-
all winning team will travel to the
United Kingdom to compete in the
International Rocketry Challenge
taking place at the Farnborough
Airshow in July.
The contest's rules and scoring
parameters change every cycle to
challenge the students' ingenuity
and encourage a fresh approach to
rocket design.

Cut Back On Binge Watching
And Enjoy Real Live Streaming
Generac Offers A New Way To Enjoy The Great Outdoors
And Create Quality Family Time
(NAPS)--School may be back
in session, but there's still plenty
of time to take a great family
vacation.
Consumers who avoid the
crowds at airports and hotels, and
choose to camp instead, may also
find more affordable rates
through the fall. Quality time,
learning experiences and amazing
scenery await the family that
plans to camp this fall, and Gen-
erac can help ensure the comforts
of home make it a positive experi-
ence for everyone.
Benefits of Family Camping
in the Fall
• Better weather, fewer
bugs: Climate changes that come
with chilly fall weather chase bugs
away as they head to warmer cli-
mates. Lower temps mean longer
hikes and safer outdoor play with
fewer worries of fatigue or other
heat-related ailments.
• Learning opportunities:
Cooking is an essential part of
camp life, and when isolated from
the hustle and bustle of home life,
families can take the time to pre-
pare meals together. Using Gen-
erac's new iQ2000 to provide
portable power, families don't
have to rely on an open flame to
learn new cooking skills. Instead,
power essential kitchen items
while at the campsite and turn
mealtime into quality time.
• Play benefits everyone: A
study by the American Academy of
Pediatrics found that just a mini-
mal amount of daily, unstructured
play was essential to the mental
and physical health of children.
Hiking can burn between 120 and
300 calories per hour, and parents
and children can participate.
Make a game out of camp setup or
storytelling around the fire to
keep children interested and
• engaged.
• The rustle of leaves and
streams: Changing weather pat-
terns mean not only fewer
campers and less noise but also
allow for campsite visitors to hear
new sounds in nature. Protect the
A portable genorator can make
family camping easier and more
fun.
silence with the quiet portable
power the iQ2000 provides, and
hear more fish jumping and
leaves crunching.
A family camping trip in the
fall doesn't have to mean a no-
frills getaway or a totally rustic
experience, either. Portable power
solutions mean the comforts of
home are all a part of loading up
the family and heading into the
woods for time together.
After the whirlwind of back-to-
school preparations and routines,
Generac portable power helps
families find rest and relaxation
in a family vacation far from the
crowd and deep in the heart of
nature--even with favorite indoor
conveniences on-site and without
disturbing the sounds of a stress-
free weekend.

It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolu-

prising strides.

In January the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's National
Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) will survey about 425 cattle
operations in West Virginia to
provide an up-to-date measure of
cattle inventories. The surveys were
mailed this week in advance of data
collection, which takes place Jan. 1-
12, 2017.
~l~nis information will assist West
Virginia cattle producers in making
more informed decisions on
inventory, cattle and calves on feed,
prices, and slaughter," said
Charmaine Wilson, West Virginia
state statistician. "To have this type
of information at producers'
fingertips will be very valuable."
During the first two weeks of
January, West Virginia producers
will have the opportunity to report
their beef and dairy cattle
inventories, calf crop, death loss, and
cattle on feed information. To make
it as easy as possible for producers
to participate in the survey, NASS
offers the option of responding via
the Internet, telephone, mail or a
personal interview with a local
NASS representative.
NASS safeguards the privacy of
all responses and publishes only
state- and national-level data in
aggregate, ensuring that no
individual producer or operation can
be identified.
The January Cattle report will be
released Jan. 31, 2017. This and all
West Virginia NASS reports are
available online at https://
www.nass.usda.gov/
Statistics_by_State/West_Virginia].
