When it comes to old films, Robert Osborne is hard to stump. But this time he had to consult his notes.
"Hold on, it's so obscure, even I don't remember the name of it," said Osborne, who has served as the main on-air host of Turner Classic Movies for 19 years, in the process becoming one of America's most recognizable cinephiles.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1957 Television Production)
She was!
It was a historic LIVE broadcast, also.
There is a documentary about the production included, also.
RIP, Celeste Holm. She lived a long life and had a long career with some very memorable performances.
Lady 2: there isn't anything about me on goooogle, I mean, I must take it off if there is.....
Lady 3: The google is a terrible thing, I mean I don't want anything on there! (Overheard by millyskate on a London train.)
Just saw the "TCM Remembers" tribute to Ms. Holm - clips from "High Society", "The Tender Trap", "All About Eve" and what I believe was "Road House", starring Ida Lupino as a torch singer.
I remember the color TV version of "Cinderalla" fondly as well, with Celeste and Lesley Ann Warren singing "Impossible". Classy, talented actress (and singer).

Furuya (Pacific Hip-Hop Club) Was Selected to Break Dance Invitational Competion
Mike Furuya from Pacific Hip-Hop Club was selected to be among the top eight available upcoming break dancers for the "King of the Hill" Showcase for the "From the Ground Up" Break Dance Competition At Reed College (Portland, OR) on October 13th, 2012.
King of the Hill is when there is one champion and one challenger and the remaining break dancers wait in a line to challenge the champion. In this showcase the break dancer who accumulates the most wins in a twenty minute time frame is the winner. Furuya did not win the competition, but gave a good fight and gained respect because he was selected.
Getting selected for this competition does not happen to anyone. This is significant for Pacific Hip-Hop Club, because in break dance, the more respect an individual recieves, the more known his "crew" or group will get. Thus, it will give the Hip-Hop Club an opportunity to get connected with well known dancers in Portland and get offered special opportunities and more chances to shine as a group.

By Steve Keenan
For The Register-Herald
Shady Spring's Houstin Syvertson and Greenbrier East's Tré Moore will have to be at the top of their game from the get-go this afternoon as track and field athletes begin their quest for state meet glory.
The Class AAA Region 3 duo, who have the first- and third-best shot put qualifying distances, respectively, will be in the first wave of championship field event competitions when the annual West Virginia high school track and field extravaganza gets under way at UC Stadium's Laidley Field at 2 p.m.
"Obviously, we expect a lot out of Houstin," said Vince Culicerto, who helps his father, Pete, guide the Shady Spring boys. "He's been ranked No. 1 and has won all except one meet (a loss to Moore which he avenged last week).
"He's sitting up there pretty good. He has a legitimate chance to win, and he wants it. He came in second last year and didn't like it. Houstin's put in an awful lot of work."
Syvertson qualified with a best toss of 52 feet, 1 1/2 inches, while Moore, who now owns the East school record of 52-3, qualified at 47-6 1/2.
"Tré has bounced between 1 and 2 in the shot all year," said Greenbrier East coach Jim McCutcheon. "He and the Shady kid will battle."
Sprinter Ben Lilly could make inroads for the Tigers in the 100-meter dash, and the boys 4x100 and shuttle hurdle relays have an outside chance at points, Culicerto said.
The best hopes for the Shady Spring girls will rest on the shoulders of field events standouts Alicia Marshall and Kaylee Dickenson and hurdlers Lyndsey Thompson and Ali Kominsky. Marshall has the sixth-best discus qualifying throw (110-9) and Dickenson the eight-best high jump clearance (5-2). "The field events are crazy (and unpredictable)," said Culicerto. "Kaylee went down there last year and got second in the (Class AA) discus (after qualifying much poorer)."
Thompson and Kominsky have been solid in the 300s this spring, with Thompson qualifying with a fifth-best time of 48.71 and Kominsky seventh-best at 48.95. "Lyndsey's new at it and Ali (third a year ago) knows what it takes," said Culicerto. "Their times are real similar."
At the Region 3 meet, the Greenbrier East boys repeated their 2012 championship and the Spartan girls won their second crown in three years. East girls coach Wes Lilly, for one, was ecstatic.
"We were completely thrilled," he said. "The boys wanted to repeat, and the girls competed out of their minds." He praised seniors Lindsey McClintic, Brielle Coles, Ashley Morgan (region high jump champ and tied a school record), Ashton Holliday and Sophie Kemp-Sherman for being a steadying influence on the squad.
The Spartans' 4x400 team, anchored by region individual 400 titlist Shaye Gadomski, is fifth-best (4:12.68) heading into this weekend, and the 4x200 unit is also among those in the running, as is freshman long jumper Maddie McClintic (fifth-best, 15-11 1/2).
Like Lilly, McCutcheon was thrilled with winning region spoils. "We set that as a goal this year," he said. Prior to the back-to-back wins, the only other team title in school history was in 1992. "It's a big accomplishment."
High jumper Trey Cochran, tied with Oak Hill's Marc Logan for the third-best qualifying height at 6-2, will help lead the Spartan hopes this weekend. Cochran has cleared 6-4 in a meet this spring and 6-6 in practice, according to McCutcheon. Teammate Tyler Hanna qualified at 6-0 and has cleared 6-2. Distance runner Levi Snedegar, fourth-best in the 1600 (4:36.1), also hopes to score points in individual races.
Woodrow Wilson sprinter Ramon Edwards, one of the top entrants in the 100 and 200, will continue his battle with Jefferson sensation Dante Price. At 10.99, Edwards was the fastest 100 qualifier, and he hopes to have made up some ground on Price, who defeated him by 0.33 seconds last spring in a 1-2 finish in the short sprint.
Woodrow distance runner Emily Fedders looks to score some points, especially in the 3200, and sprinter Lashonda McDowell — second in the 400 in the region meet out of the slow heat — has a chance to crack into the scoring in that race.
Oak Hill's Deon Marion was the fourth-best long jump qualifier (19-11 1/4).
In Class AA, teams such as Independence, Summers County and Nicholas County aim to make good showings.
The Bobcat boys are coming off a Region 3 team win and will be led into action by long jumper TaRon Ayers, whose 19-10 1/2 was the second-best leap statewide last week.
Summers hurdler Emily Smith, runner-up in the state 100 hurdles a year ago, will be looking to go one step higher on the victory podium. She qualified with the fourth-fastest time in her specialty (16.58).
The Nicholas County girls were the Class AA Region 4 champs. The Grizzlies will be led by hurdlers Elizabeth Messer (third in 100 hurdles in 16.54) and Autumn Tyree (fifth in 16.9), the state-leading shuttle hurdle unit (1:08.85) and distance runner Aidan Payton.
The Independence boys will be led by sprinter John Powell, who won Region 3 and led 400-meter qualifying statewide with a clocking of 51.96. Discus throwers Zach Fleshman and Robbie Cuthbert are among the others looking to score points.
The Patriot girls will be led by 400 runner Adriana Cook and discus thrower Megan Testament.
Richwood once again emerged at the top of the Region 3 heap in the single-A ranks, as both Lumberjack squads earned team titles.
The boys shuttle hurdle relay quartet of Gary Boggs, Terry Frazier, Levi Mowery and Zach Bennett had the state's best region time of 1:02.09. Bennett in the 400 (53.05) and Frazier in the long jump (20-6) also hope to do some damage.
Distance standout Breanna Mazzella, who qualified in the 800, 1600 and 3200, will lead the RHS girls effort. Mazzella has the fastest qualifying time in the 3200 (12:21.98) but St. Marys phenom Maggie Drazba looms as the heavy favorite. Hurdler Haley Hinchman and jumpers Jamie Bailey and Hannah Brown also could be in the mix.
Fayetteville's Jonathan Gore is a legitimate threat in three events — the 100, 200 and long jump. He has the best qualifying long jump of 21-4.
The Midland Trail boys, who placed second in region competition, will be led by sprinter Ethan Barker and distance runner Devon Steele.
Greenbrier West's Colby Ennis has the third-fastest entry time of 16.02 in the 110 hurdles.
Valley's Abby Buchan qualified in four events — 100, 200, high jump and long jump.

When we asked doctors and team members how their practices handle team training, we expected a discrepancy. And the responses
did, in fact, point to a difference of opinion—but it wasn't between doctors and team members. Instead it's owners and associates
whose views fall on different ends of the spectrum. For instance, 76 percent of owners say team members receive regular performance
feedback, whereas only 56 percent of associates agree, according to the 2008 Veterinary Economics Business Issues Study.

Another outlet mall could be on the way to the Tucson area after the Pima County Board of Supervisors gave the go-ahead for the project on the northwest side.
Developers from AWE Talisman say this is in the early stages, but the mall would be near Avra Valley Road and Interstate 10.
If the mall is built, it will serve two purposes: economic and for preservation.
The area lies between I-10 and the Santa Cruz River, a 100-acre strip that the county has been trying to preserve for years.
Now the county feels this gives it a workable plan.
A mall developer has been working with the county for about a year on the proposal to build the outlet mall and they have come to an agreement: The developer gets the mall and the county gets its preservation.
"We approved a development agreement with these folks that's going to provide for a 2 percent tax added on all the stores that operate there," Supervisor Richard Elias said. "That money is going to be collected over a 30-year period. 20 years of it will be shared by ourselves and the developers to pay for the improvements that need to go into the area."
The money generated could be as high as $89 million.
AWE Talisman, which has malls in Las Vegas, Chicago and Santa Fe, says it's too early to say it will be built. There are many hurdles to overcome.
The county, however, is planning to use the money to expand the river walk along the Santa Cruz from Twin Peaks to Avra Valley.

Great everyday and golf cigar. Always consistant.in February 23, 2011
"The best I've had"
The draw, burn and flavor are as good as any $20 stick I've ever smoked, I'm lighting my 15th out of 25 and no disappointment yet. These would be a steal at $100 a box. When Davidoff is involved, count on perfection.Thomas in Delaware County, NY August 1, 2010
"They stink Don't bother purchasing."
These are the worst. Don't waste your money. Leave them for me...Lou in Ft. Lauderdale June 25, 2008
"Not so much"
I wish I could comment on body, flavors, development, etc. But I can't even get a mouthful of smoke through this too-tightly rolled stick. I cut one in half to try to get some draw, but it still smokes like concrete. A great stogie for those who hate cigars.Bruce Gossard in CA July 24, 2006
"Treat yourself to excellence"
If you're looking for a premium smoke at an affordable price, do yourself a favor and give this one a try. You'll be back for more, sooner than you think. Consistant flavor throughout, great burn, pedigreed tobacco. Give them only to your best friends and those you want to impress. One of the best at twice the price.Doug Burow in Westland, Michigan April 25, 2005

Its a good thing Chrissy Popadics and Ian Johnson are in great physical condition, because their Fiesta Bowl workout didnt end when the football game did Monday night.
Two days after Johnson scored the game-winning 2-point conversion for Boise State University and then proposed to Popadics on national television, the couple was touring New York City, shuttling from one television studio to another and sightseeing with Popadics uncle as guide.
With a picture of the wedding proposal in USA Today, the couple were instant celebrities even on the East Coast.
Were outside of Boise and people are still recognizing who we are, said Johnson, who is used to being interviewed, but not with the interest hes seen since BSU won the Fiesta Bowl.
People are like, Hey, arent you the one who proposed? said Johnson. A few have also said, Hey, thanks for making it so tough on the rest of us guys who want to propose this year.
Both have pages on MySpace, the online meeting place, where well-wishers are posting congratulations.
Johnson and Popadics took a commercial flight from Phoenix to New York City late Tuesday night with Max Corbett, a spokesman for BSU, and began a tour of the television stations at the crack of dawn Wednesday. They appeared on Good Morning America, did an interview with ABC radio, and then they were interviewed at the CNN studios. They had planned to appear on the Today show, but scheduling didnt work out.
The Associated Press took a picture of them near Battery Park with the Statue of Liberty in the background, Corbett said Wednesday afternoon by phone from a Manhattan shopping mall. He and Johnson were waiting for Popadics to finish browsing in a Victorias Secret store.
Johnsons winning score Monday night came on a trick play called the Statue of Liberty.
Boise State officials checked with the NCAA in advance to make sure that having the couples trip financed by broadcasters was permissible under NCAA rules.
The trip was Johnsons first to New York City. Popadics, who grew up in Pompton Plains, N.J., said she enjoyed showing him around. Popadics family joined the couple before the Good Morning America show.
Johnson wore a No. 41 BSU jersey for his TV appearances and said he gave Popadics some pointers on how to handle the attention.
I tell her its not a huge deal. Talk to people as if theyre your friends and tell them what you want everybody to know, he said. Its honestly not a big deal.
Even Corbett, a media-relations veteran, was taken aback by all the cameras. Popadics, a cheerleader whose role with the team has been relatively low-key until now, said she was taking it in stride.
It hasnt even hit me yet. I cant take it all in at the moment, she said. Im just so still trying to comprehend the fact that Im engaged and in New York City.
Having her hair and makeup done and appearing on television was awesome, she said. I felt like a celebrity.
Johnsons proposal Monday night came soon after the winning play. He got down on one knee to ask the question as television cameras rolled. The couple said Wednesday that they are waiting to talk to both families who have met several times before making final wedding plans. Popadics hopes to wed in July.
She doesnt want the wedding to happen too close to next falls football season, and she doesnt want to wait until after.
I dont want to be engaged more than eight months, she said. It doesnt take as long as people think to plan a wedding. Johnson said he hoped for a beach wedding in California. The couple met on the beach in Hawaii when the BSU team traveled there for a game.
Popadics, 21, and Johnson, 20, are both likely to graduate in a year and a half.
If our parents support us being married being in school, well do it, said Johnson. If they want us to wait, that will weigh in our decision on whether well wait.
Popadics had heard hints that a marriage proposal was on the way, but she didnt expect it at the Fiesta Bowl, because she knew Johnson couldnt carry a ring with him on the field.
I didnt even think about the fact that he could propose without a ring, she said Wednesday.
The diamond ring came later.
The couple who have been dating for about 16 months planned to fly today to Johnsons hometown of San Dimas, Calif., for the rest of BSUs winter break.
Which side of the country will the couple eventually choose? Johnson said it doesnt matter.
Were the type of couple that it doesnt matter where we go, we just want to be together, he said. Wherever life takes us, we are willing to try.

Best Mole San Francisco 2007 - Zazil - CLOSED
845 Market St.
San Francisco, CA 94103
The most important discovery the conquistadors made when they arrived at the court of Moctezuma 500 years ago wasn't gold, silver, or precious stones; it was all the weird and wonderful stuff the Aztec king enjoyed for dinner. Most impressively there was mole, an elaborate concoction made almost entirely from ingredients never encountered in the Old World chocolate, peppers, tomatoes, corn, a wide variety of nuts and seeds. Zazil, a casually upscale Westfield Centre dining spot specializing in dishes from Mexico's coastal regions, prepares the best mole negra in town. The mole Oaxaque?o is earthy, smooth, and smoky with a bare hint of sweetness and no individual flavor overwhelming another but each contributing to the depths and layers of the whole, the bitter chocolate sensed rather than tasted. You can experience it in a delectable grilled-prawn dish, as a sauce with the duck fritter appetizer, in the impressive seared salmon tower, or at lunchtime lending complexity and richness to a variety of enchiladas.

Long before Abraham Lincoln became the 16th president of the United States, he frequented Madison County.
Donald Winkler, an author and Lincoln expert, said that in the early 1840s the young lawyer "rode the circuit in Illinois twice a year, traveling from courthouse to courthouse for three months in the spring and three months in the fall." These trips included stops in Madison County where Lincoln worked as an attorney for a railroad based in Alton.
Later, in 1858, Lincoln debated political rival Sen. Stephen A. Douglas in Alton, the last of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates that helped make Lincoln a national figure.
But Lincoln's most sensational trip to Madison County and the metro-east came in September 1842 when Illinois Auditor James Shields challenged him to a duel.
While history largely forgot the event, Lincoln experts say it might have been responsible for a key change in Lincoln's demeanor that eventually made him successful in politics.
According to James E. Myers, author of "The Astonishing Saber Duel of Abraham Lincoln,'' the dispute centered on a series of anonymous letters to the Springfield newspaper, the Sangamon Journal. The letters were extremely critical of Shields on a professional and personal level. The auditor believed Lincoln or his future wife, Mary Todd, wrote the criticisms and sought a chance to get even.
The letters attributed to the future president called Shields a liar on political matters and mocked his personality and his appearance.
Lincoln allegedly penned a sarcastic note in the voice of Shields after the auditor appeared at a county fair where several eligible single women were available for courting.
"Dear girls, it is distressing, but I cannot marry you all," Lincoln allegedly wrote. "Too well I know how much you suffer; but do, do remember, it is not my fault that I am so handsome and so interesting."
The meeting between Shields and Lincoln was set for Sept. 22 on Sunflower Island, a popular dueling spot in the middle of the Mississippi River. Now the island is a wildlife refuge and part of the Missouri bank of the river.
In 1842, the island was situated toward the Missouri bank of the river, which put it outside the reach of Illinois law. Dueling was deemed illegal in Illinois in 1839.
Shields, who was both short-tempered and short in stature, decided the only way to resolve the issue about the letters was the duel. Lincoln knew that, in that era, he would lose face politically if he declined. So he accepted and, as the person who received the challenge, was allowed to choose the weapons and ground rules for the duel.
Lincoln took advantage of his size by requesting cavalry broad swords as the weapon for the duel and decided the men would be required to stay on their side of a line drawn on the ground.
Just before the duel was to start, Lincoln, who had been making a show of his superior reach by flamboyantly spinning around while slashing with his sword, approached the line. He reached out with his long arm and slashed down a branch from a low hanging tree just over Shields' head.
Suddenly realizing he had no chance for any outcome other than his own slaughter, Shields agreed to make peace.
Many have speculated what would have happened if Lincoln, the man who 20 years later would fight the Civil War in order to hold the United States together and lead the successful effort to ban slavery in the United States, had been killed in 1842.
But Shields might have turned the tide of the Civil War in the other direction just as easily. While Lincoln never would be in a duel again, a story in the magazine Civil War Times indicates that Shields was challenged to a duel in 1850 by future Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis. The men were able to settle their dispute without facing off in mortal combat.
During the Civil War, Shields was nominated as a brigadier general in the Union Army. Lincoln, who had the final say on the issue, gave consent.
Some say the episode with Shields helped Lincoln shed a confrontational attitude and become more of a consensus builder, a trait that served him well in politics.
Lincoln returned to Alton in October 1858 for the last of seven debates with Douglas. Lincoln was the Republican candidate for U.S. senator; Douglas the Democratic incumbent. The primary focus of the verbal battle was the issue of slavery, which threatened to divide the country.
Douglas argued the country could continue forever divided into free and slave states. But Lincoln argued that, regardless of how badly Southerners wanted to keep the institution of slavery, it was immoral and should be abolished.
Douglas won the Senate election in 1858. Two years later, Lincoln was elected president and he presided during the Civil War, trying to hold the Union together while abolishing slavery across the country.
According to Winkler, while Lincoln wanted to be remembered for leaving a positive mark on his country and mankind, he never forgot his bloodless duel with a political foe.
Said Lincoln: "If all the good things I have ever done are remembered as long and as well as my scrape with Shields, it is plain I shall not be forgotten."

CLINTON — It was an offer Jalen Jones couldn't refuse.
Jones, a 6-foot-5 senior at Clinton High School, informed the coaching staff at Nebraska-Omaha on Sunday that he would play college basketball for the fledgling NCAA Division I program.
"It's a good deal; I'm really happy for Jalen," Clinton coach Nick Lawrence said Sunday night.
"I really liked the coaching staff, and I know one of the players," Jones said. Derrin Hansen has guided the program for nearly a decade, and West Branch's Rylan Murray, one of Jones' former AAU teammates, is a freshman at UNO.
Jones earned second-team all-state honors from the Iowa Newspaper Association last season after leading the River Kings in scoring for the second year in a row. He averaged 19.0 points and 7.1 rebounds a game, shot 45 percent from the field and led the team with 76 assists. He made 48 of 147 3-point attempts (32.7 percent), shot 70.8 percent from the free-throw line and blocked 26 shots in 22 games.
He is joining a team that went 11-20 last year in its second season at the Division I level. A longtime member of NCAA Division II, the school is in a transition phase while reclassifying and will be eligible to participate in the Division I NCAA Tournament in 2015-16.
"It's really exciting," Jones said of joining the burgeoning program. "It should be cool."
Jones, who said he probably would sign a letter-of-intent with UNO during the early signing period in November, said making the decision "was definitely a huge relief going into his senior season."
While another big year might have brought offers from some of the larger schools that have scouted him, Jones said he didn't want to risk an injury or anything else that might deflate his value.
"I'm not sure if I'm selling myself short, but I don't want to pass up a full ride, a free education," he said.

In the theatre program at Bethel, we journey together to understand the human condition, to probe our complex culture and the equally complex past.
Our students enjoy all the benefits of a small Christian school—intimate class sizes, personal attention, liberal arts teaching—along with an in-depth theatre arts major that's divided into 3 tracks:
- Acting/Directing
- Technical/Design
- Musical Theatre
No matter what emphasis students choose, our professors create an experience that engages the whole person. This is both powerful and occasionally upsetting because it raises tough and unconventional questions about human life. But ultimately, it enriches our understanding of ourselves and how we interact with our neighbors.
Beyond work in the classroom, annual theatre productions engage our students in the creative process of telling important stories. We choose productions that represent a wide range of experiences—joy, pain, triumph, and shame—to capture the imagination and enliven hearts in entertaining ways. And with every production, our students reflect on how to express biblical truth to their audience.
Located in the heart of the Twin Cities, students have access to a thriving theatre arts community just minutes away. Learn more about why theatre students choose Bethel.

Michigan not for sale
While President Obama won Michigan in November, Republicans successfully invested millions of dollars in local elections. Proposal 2 was defeated by a well-financed campaign that included $2 million from Dick DeVos's family, $2 million from casino owner Sheldon Adelson, and $500,000 from Texas industrialist Harold Simmons.
According to the Dec. 17 New York Times, DeVos contacted Gov. Snyder, stating Proposal 2's defeat indicated Michigan was ready to deal a crippling blow to unions. The Michigan Freedom Fund, founded by a DeVos company employee, donated $1 million to support Right To Work legislation. Americans for Prosperity, founded by billionaires David and Charles Koch, had volunteers make thousands of calls to Michigan citizens encouraging support of Right To Work. The legislation passed without public debate.
The Republican State Leadership Committee and Karl Rove's super PAC, dedicated to increasing Republican control of state legislatures, spent over $1.6 million to help Republicans win the Michigan State House. Don't Republicans believe in local control?
When money equals free speech, the super-rich have more opportunities to speak than ordinary citizens. When Dick DeVos and his wealthy out-of-state friends show up at election time, let them know Michigan is not for sale.

Where's the outrage?
The liberal and biased press had a field day in the recent school shooting in Newtown, Conn. The stories were fast and wild for the first few days, a lot of it fiction.
Now the anti-gun people, from our president on down, are proposing many more restrictions on guns. The only thing this will do is infringe on the Second Amendment and harass the legal gun owner. Every law was broken by the shooter, why should a few more stop him? Why don't our fearless elected leaders go after the real causes of this crime? Why don't we enforce the laws we already have?
We need to examine the culture of the United States. We seem to be obsessed with violence, from the press, TV, movies, video games, etc.
Our children are exposed to this from infants. Our elected leaders say things meant to deceive instead of the whole truth. Add to this no personal responsibility, no self control, if it feels good, do it.
There are many more.
We were full of outrage at the shooting, as we should be, but where is the outrage at the killing of 55 million unborn children since allowed by our Supreme Court?

Ok, now I'm really surprised. I put in some review articles from Stereophile (esp from Michael Fremer and John Atkinson), and they both were fairly low on the BS meter. I say the machine is broken. Doesn't work as advertised ;)
Here let me test it...I know exactly what to check it against......
Yep broken - only a 78% BS factor when I know without a doubt it was 100%.
What did you use? I haven't been able to get anything higher than ~25%
I used a post from my Calc class. You ought a hear some of the feces taken as truth in that class. It's a full time job for the professor just to stop erroneous information.
As for BS. One man's BS is another's "Pulitzer" and Vice Versa. lol

Hers a quick one. I'll find more if you want. The question was....Describe how to find the domain and range of a function. Provide and example.
To find the domain and range of a function you must use the numbers provided. The domain is all of the x's and the range is all of the y's.
For example (2,-3), (4, 6), (3,-1), (6, 6), (2, 3)
so the domain is (2,3,4,6)
range is (-3,-1,3,6)
It's students, not the Doc. They have tapered off a bit as she was sort of told to can it by one of the other students that followed her until they flunked the quiz. After that she has been rather low key. This is not the worst by far but I can only go back two weeks or so on others posts.

Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office
The Winter Holiday Anti-DUI crackdown has resulted in a significant number of driving under the influence (DUI) arrests from local routine traffic enforcement and special "Avoid the 13" DUI deployments during the past several days in Santa Clara County.
While complete results are not yet available, pending results from some agencies, preliminary numbers show that from 12:01 a.m. Friday, Dec. 14, through midnight Saturday, Dec. 29, officers representing Santa Clara County law enforcement agencies arrested 353 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In 2011, 349 DUI arrests occurred during the same sixteen day time period.
Early results show eight arrests in Los Gatos.
For the New Year's Eve holiday weekend extra DUI Saturation Patrols are deployed in the cities of Mountain View, Los Altos, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, San Jose, Cupertino, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, and the town of Los Gatos.
The CHP also is deploying all available officers for their Maximum Enforcement Period during the New Year's holiday weekend through midnight Tuesday, Jan. 1.
All regularly scheduled traffic and patrol officers are focusing their efforts at stopping and arresting DUI drivers during their normal shifts. Multiple DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints, Multi Agency DUI Task Force operations and local Roving DUI patrols are all part of this region-wide crackdown during the Winter Holiday Campaign.
Police, Sheriff and the CHP officials are encouraging all motorists to help make their communities safer by calling 9-1-1 to report drunk drivers.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Don't miss a thing in Los Gatos!

Last month, I laid out the reasons why I thought Texas Gov. Rick Perry was the clear Republican front-runner. I'll take it one step further: Perry would be a very formidable nominee against President Obama, and he poses a stronger threat than most Democrats realize and many Republican strategists acknowledge.
The hits are already out. Democrats are looking at Perry's states' rights, anti-Washington manifesto Fed Up! as a gold mine for opposition researchers, eager to pounce on his claim that Social Security is akin to a Ponzi scheme. They think that his skepticism on climate change makes him seem extreme, even as Obama halted implementation of antismog regulations in a last-ditch attempt to help create jobs. Most view Perry's aggressive defense of Second Amendment rights as a general-election loser; never mind that Democrats haven't touched the gun-control issue since Al Gore's failed 2000 presidential campaign, and for good reason. All of the conventional wisdom couldn't be more off base.
From National Journal:
The Many Cars of Joe Biden
Debates Will Sharpen Differences Among the GOP's 2012 Field
Obama to Propose $300B to Jump-Start Jobs
VIDEO: Challenges Still to Come in the Fight Against Terrorism
Four Ways the Postal Service May Stay Solvent
Perry has proven throughout his long career that he's a canny political observer, and he picked up on the anti-Washington mood enveloping the country long before the smart set in Washington did. On the campaign trail, he may be toning down the language from his book, but if anything, his broad themes of bureaucratic incompetence and government overreach offer a striking contrast to Obama's agenda and get at many of the anxieties facing Americans today. If Obama could point to a record of job creation, Perry's musings wouldn't have the same resonance. To an electorate registering historic levels of pessimism about the future, Perry looks more like the candidate of change—and, perhaps, hope.
Polls show that voters care about jobs and the economy, first and foremost. Perry can point to his record as Texas governor, one of the few states with a record of job creation during the recession. Whether he's responsible for that record is a debatable point, but politically, it is a clear winner. Second on the list is concern over government spending, and Perry's book is a virtual treatise against excessive federal spending.
Perry will have to address his views on entitlements, but his vulnerabilities on that front pale in comparison to Obama's vulnerabilities on the economy. Only 35 percent of senior citizens approve of the president's job performance, according to Gallup, one of his worst-performing demographic groups. With seniors so down on the president, it's hard to see Perry's book quote being a game-changer.
For a case study, look at two special elections that are coming up this month, one in a solidly-Democratic New York City district and one in a rural, Republican-leaning district in Nevada. In both elections, the Democratic candidates have lambasted the Republican nominees for supporting entitlement cuts and holding extreme views on the social safety net. In the decidedly liberal confines of Queens and Brooklyn, the Republican candidate has actually embraced such controversial views, and even said he opposed a bill that provided benefits to victims of 9/11.
The Democrats' attacks haven't resonated. Instead, dissatisfaction with Obama is so great that the Republican candidate in Nevada is poised to win in a landslide, and the Democrat is barely getting help from the national party. And in the special election race to replace former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner in New York, polls from both sides show a close race.
If the historic 2010 midterms demonstrated anything, it was a massive pushback against Obama's big government policies—the stimulus and health care reform in particular. Obama saw his 2008 election as a mandate for a more activist government, and his policies created a resistance that is still churning today. Grassroots insurgencies don't happen in a vacuum. But Democrats are still grasping at polls that show that the tea party is unpopular, even though the antigovernment sentiment that fueled the movement is as powerful as ever. The White House misread the tea party movement from the start, and it seems to be misreading it to this day.
Just look at the president's decision last Friday to suspend antismog standards, something that goes against the environmental record his administration has proudly stood for. This was a profound concession: Obama is either conceding that excessive regulation can hamper economic growth, or he's acknowledging the political pitfalls of an activist government. And if the political pendulum has swung so much to the right that even Obama is cutting back environmental protection for the hope of economic growth, it suggests that Perry's antigovernment views aren't limited to cranky conservatives.
The other major asset that Perry brings to the table in a general election is immigration. The Republican nominee's ability to connect with Hispanic voters, concentrated in battleground states like Nevada, Colorado, and Florida, is critical to winning the White House in 2012 and beyond. Perry brings a track record of Hispanic outreach in Texas, and he carried 38 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2010 against Democrat Bill White, in line with George W. Bush's performance as governor.
More notably, while campaigning to win the conservative Republican base, he has carefully avoided the strident anti-immigration rhetoric that often characterizes the party's loudest voices. He came out against a border fence—virtual heresy among elements of the right—and didn't back down from his support of allowing illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition in his state. Perry's team is playing long ball, and it recognizes the importance of the Hispanic vote and his unique ability to win enough of them over.
Pair Perry on the presidential ticket with an up-and-coming Hispanic running mate such as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida or New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, and the Hispanic vote is squarely in play. Gallup found Obama's approval among Hispanics down to 44 percent. If Obama can't win over a clear majority of Hispanics, ball game's over.
With his book, Perry opponents believe they have a gold mine of opposition research, but it hardly raises an eyebrow compared to past presidential nominees. Jimmy Carter was eager to face Ronald Reagan, who recorded commentaries arguing that Medicare would lead America down a path to socialism. Bill Clinton avoided military service, admitted to smoking pot (without inhaling), and had to deal with rumors of extramarital affairs during the 1992 campaign. Both won in landslides against presidents facing rough economic times.
With an economy this weak, and with little expectations of it improving, the Democrats would need a scorched-earth culture war campaign painting Perry as an extremist to prevent his capturing the White House, and even that might not be enough. To quote Democratic strategist James Carville: "It's the economy, stupid." If the economy doesn't show signs of improving pronto, Democrats could be staring down the face of President Perry in 2013.

---- — Irretrievably
TO THE EDITOR: I recently heard from a friend whose sister lives in the Netherlands.
The folks there are positively giddy over Barack Obama's victory. I'm not surprised at all by this. Europeans have been steeped in a crumbling welfare society for decades and believe that everybody should be as dependent on government as they are.
I fear our country has been irretrievably lost and we will never be able to turn the overwhelming tide of big-government socialism. We have come a long way from yesterday and JFK's famous, "Ask what you can do for your country" to today's "Ask what your country can do for you."
What has changed over the last decades is the character of the American people. We have allowed ourselves to become a society of entitlements, dependent on government largesse and unable to think for ourselves.
We have lost our constitutional anchor and as a result have lost our virtue and will lose our freedom.
Upset by cuts
TO THE EDITOR: We, the staff of the Ambulatory Surgery Center, publicly acknowledge our beloved management team was dismissed in a vengeful manner.
In October, CVPH administration determined, beginning Nov. 14, the center would close on Wednesdays.
This decision stunned our staff and surgeons/physicians, as procedures/surgeries were scheduled past that date. The outcome of a meeting held between the physicians and John Zeilinski, AVP Surgical Services, must have offended him, because on Oct. 25, our clinical coordinators, RNs Lisa Kavanaugh and Mary Cook, were abruptly dismissed after 20-plus and 30-plus years of service. Obviously, they were not the "yes men" administration sought; they fought for their staff and patients. Of all the peri-operative managers at CVPH, they held the most experience.
Our staff must adjust to new management, who additionally manage the OR/ACU/PACU, leaving limited management on-site, putting staff/physicians at a disadvantage, perhaps leading to diminished patient satisfaction.
CVPH eliminated assistant-director RN positions. Those affected were offered other positions. All clinical coordinators kept their positions, except Lisa and Mary, who, despite their experience, "would not fit any role in the future of CVPH" as "experience and seniority does not count in management": per administration.
These RNs devoted themselves to the center, helped design and open it 13 years ago. Every request by administration was accomplished: reduction of staff, overtime and resources/equipment; provided space to other services; staffed other departments; and stayed late, ensuring excellent patient care recognized by numerous patient satisfaction awards/achievements.
Another CVPH staffer commented recently: "It is obviously the best-run department within the whole Medical Center." This speaks volumes about Lisa, Mary, their efforts and commitment.
We are grieving the loss of Lisa and Mary, the best clinical coordinators at CVPH — our friends and our family.
On behalf of staff at Kevin J. Carroll Ambulatory Surgery Center
TO THE EDITOR: Why am I not surprised that the Press-Republican is supporting the new early start to the Black Friday madness?
Injuries and mayhem. Who cares? Underpaid employees forced to work 24-hour shifts until they pass out. Suffer, slaves. Mom and Dad unable to see their own kids until Christmas Day. Suck it up.
In my opinion, the Press exists simply to kiss Gary Douglas's butt, overcharge the readership for classified and commercial ad space and to "Brave New World" everyone into thinking that all the jobs created here in the North Country are terrific.
The Press-Republican must end its conflicted interest in its dealings with local business with respect to reporting news and providing opinion.
Until then, I prefer that you don't tell us what's good for us, how we have misbehaved or why we should work longer and harder for your paper and the local Chamber of Commerce because frankly, you don't give a damn about working families and their problems.

One fear of teams in a shortened season was injuries piling up because of all the games getting pushed into a compressed calendar. It seems like a lot of teams are living that nightmare.
The Sabres currently have four guys on the shelf: Ville Leino (hip) and Robyn Regehr are on injured reserve while Andrej Sekera (ankle) and Patrick Kaleta (neck) are also out. Only Leino, however, seems like he's out longterm.
Here are some of the notable injuries around the league:
NYR--Ryan Callahan (shoulder), 10-14 days, Chris Krieder (ankle), on IR.
OTT--Jason Spezza (back surgery), out indefinitely, Jared Cowan (hip surgery), out for the season
PHL--Scott Hartnell (broken foot), 1-2 months, Andrej Meszaros (sprained shoulder), 1 month; Wayne Simmonds (concussion), indefinitely.
BOS -- Shawn Thornton (concussion, courtesy of John Scott). Out 10-14 days.
COL -- Gabriel Landeskog (IR with head and neck trouble), Steve Downie (out for season with torn ACL)
STL--Jaroslav Halak (strained groin), on IR
DAL -- Ray Whitney (broken foot), 4-6 weeks
TOR -- Joffrey Lupul (broken forearm) 4-6 weeks
VAN -- David Booth (strained groin) 4-6 weeks, Ryan Kesler (shoulder surgery), on IR
WAS -- Brooks Laich (strained groin) on IR
WPG -- Zach Bogosian (wrist surgery), out indefinitely.
LA -- Willie Mitchell (knee surgery), return uncertain, Matt Greene (back), out for the season.
