Saturday, November 09, 2013
The Valparaiso volleyball program celebrated the careers of its five-player senior class as part of Senior Day ceremonies prior to its match against Youngstown State at the ARC Saturday afternoon, but the Crusaders were unable to come out with the victory once the match got underway, falling to the Penguins 3-2 (25-18, 18-25, 25-21, 16-25, 15-11).
The Crusaders' five seniors – Sarah Chrabaszcz, Ariel Cudney, Sarah Dooms, Janelle Hobbs and Ellen Vanden Berg – were honored prior to the contest. The quintet has helped lead Valpo to 91 victories over their four-year careers. Included among the wins are victories each of the last two years over Big Ten programs, the first-such wins in program history, and six in-season tournament titles.
After a slow start both ways to the opening set, Valpo led 16-14 just past the midway stage. But the Crusaders committed six errors over the remainder of the frame as YSU closed the set on an 11-2 run to take the opener. Valpo rebounded in the second set, as after a 19-13 lead was cut to 19-17, the Crusaders responded with five straight points, including three consecutive kills by Emily Campbell (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Central), and a kill by Morgan Beil (St. Louis, Mo./Marquette) sent the match into the in-game break tied at one set apiece.
The third set saw the two teams trade early runs before Youngstown State looked to seize control past the halfway point. The Crusaders fought back to tie the set at 16-all, but the Penguins scored five of the next six points and kept Valpo at bay from there. The fourth set was knotted up at 13 apiece at the halfway mark before the Crusaders scored 12 of the final 15 points to send the match to a decisive fifth set.
The Crusaders were never able to move into even a tie for the lead in the fifth set, however, as Youngstown State scored the first five points of the set. Valpo did rally, scoring seven of the next ten points, to close within 8-7. But after trading sideouts, the Penguins scored three straight to gain breathing room, and the Crusaders were unable to put together a run in the late stages of the frame.
Dooms paced Valpo on Saturday, totaling 13 kills while also picking up 17 digs for a double-double. Vanden Berg tallied 12 kills, while Campbell added 10 kills as well. Kelsey Berrington (Britton, Mich./Tecumseh) handed out 23 assists and Cudney dished out 17.
The Crusader service game was strong on Saturday, as Valpo totaled 10 service aces over the five sets. Berrington matched her career best with four aces, while Dooms tied her season high with three. On the back line, Morganne Longoria (Burlington, Wis./Burlington) led all players with 30 digs, matching her career best, while Berrington tallied 16 digs and Cudney 15 as both setters picked up double-doubles.
Alexis Egler led Youngstown State (15-12, 7-5 Horizon) with a match-high 17 kills and also picked up 22 digs. Nicole Johnson added 12 kills on .346 hitting in the winning effort, while Jenna Cavanaugh led the Penguins at the net with seven blocks.
Valparaiso (23-6, 9-3 Horizon) closes out regular season action on the road next weekend, starting with a Friday night match at Wright State. First serve is slated for 6 p.m. CT, with live video through the Horizon League Network and live stats available at ValpoAthletics.com.

Date Reviewed: May 17, 2012
Strengths: not carbon! a good value. many frame improvements from the Trek Fuel WSD. handles well with excellent suspension properties. 2012 Lush SL has decent color. decent weight.
Weaknesses: oem crankset on the 2012 Lush SL. not compatible with water bottle cages. 2012 color options are hideous (except for Lush SL which is decent) and will not match well with most prospective upgrades that are dominated with red, gold, etc unfortunately, color coordination is a big thing among most ladies
Bottom Line:
For comparison among women's bikes, i have also researched the Specialized Safire Pro, Giant Trance XW, Norco Sight Forma 2 and Forma 3 and the Pivot Mach 5.7 Carbon.
The Trek Lush rides very well. Suspension has minimal bob when pedaling but descends very well. Its ABP system works well and allows suspension to remain active even during panic braking. The price value is one of the best and second only to the Norco Sight Forma. Compared to last years model (its predecessor) 2011 Trek Fuel 8 WSD, the Lush has improved with lower standover height and a better riding experience.
the Lush has less travel with 120mm compared to the Norco Sight Forma at 140mm and the PC Mach 5.7 carbon at 140/150mm. However my girlfriend is upgrading from a 80-100 fork hardtail so i think the 140 is overkill (at least for now). the difference in travel was therefore inconsequential.
The price was great and i really wanted to settle with the Lush. Unfortunately, there were two things that were simply unacceptable in this bike:
1. color. the colors of their bikes are far from attractive and clashes with most upgrades that i wanted to add. for example, i intended to add a better wheelset which had red stripes (as most mtb components have)... with so many other colors the bike starts to look like a rainbow or clown in bad way. although color is not a big issue to me, it was an issue with my sister and my girlfriend and since i was already spending that much money, i wanted a good looking bike. The outgoing 2011 Trek EX 8 WSD (was on sale) looked great but was not the right size.
2. you cannot attach a water bottle cage on it. the bike decision basically came to this. as an avid mountain biker, we go 3-4x a week but each ride is less than 2.5 hours long. most of the female bikers including my sis and girlfriend rarely ride more than 2 hours and would rather use water bottles for non-epic length bike rides. they don't want to wear a sweaty camelback that needs to be washed each week and requires extensive preparation beyond filling a clean water bottle that they could wash in the dishwasher.
in the end, no matter how i tried to convince myself about the Lush, it simply didn't cut it. by lowering the standover height (which was already sufficiently low in the previous Fuel EX WSD) they made the frame triangle too small to allow a water bottle cage and thus didn't even try to put bolts/receivers on the downtube. if this was a freeride or downhill bike, i would understand the lack of water bottle cage bolts/receivers but this is a trail bike!
nearly went with the Specialized Safire Pro but it looks hideous and the suspension design was not inspiring. i ended up settling with the Pivot Cycles 5.7 Carbon (the aluminum did not allow water bottle cages either) and built it with Shimano XT at competitivecyclist.com. it is a sweet bike although i ended up spending nearly 2x more than i intended to when i was looking at the Trek Lush

Strengths: smooth ride. easy too handle, corners great,and climbs like crazy! pretty paint job. solid, light,traction is top notch..fits my body correctly and 27 inch stand over.pretty girly looking paint job seems to cleean easy. appears to reject mud.good price was out the door.
Weaknesses: none...... just be sure if you move brake levers in for one finger,that the rear brake cable might need slack re dispursed. this is because handle bars are not wide.24" (white grips are no problem they windex back to pure white anytime...)

PLAYBILL ON OPENING NIGHT: Ann; A Big House for the Little Lady
By Harry Haun
Meet the first-nighters at the Broadway opening of Holland Taylor's Ann.
Lincoln Center Theater's sprawling Vivian Beaumont Theater was last populated by a cast of 37 and two War Horses, each made of cane and manipulated by three puppeteers. On March 7, that stage was filled to capacity by a solitary, pint-sized playwright-actress of five-foot-four, passing for a political legend "probably five-foot-two — with hair."
This is Holland Taylor's Ann — as in Ann Richards, who upended Texas politics in the '90s and became the 45th governor of the Lone Star State from 1991 to 1995, before being put out to pasture by future United States President George W. Bush.
Outfitted in a smart white suit with a matching Dairy Queen 'do (precisely approximated by hair designer Paul Huntley), Taylor charges forth in her Taylor-made role that runs counter to her usual brittle subtleties and sophistication. She seems to have gotten all that out of her system by gargling with bourbon and branch-water. Precise, drily-delivered diction gives way to lazy Texas twangs.
Plain-spoken, abrasive and fast on the drawl, Taylor's Richards shoots from the lip throughout, winning the audience over with words that are often wise ("If you rest, you rust") but usually "risky" ("That guy couldn't organize a circle jerk").
The bio-play evolves into four or five set pieces, commencing with a somewhat salty commencement address. Then, the podium recedes, and a governor's office slides forth. That surrenders to a New York apartment where Richards conspicuously retired from politics (but not from speaking her mind). The final section is in a kind of tentative limbo where she attempts to lick The Big C and attends her own funeral.
Dorothy Ann Willis Richards lived 73 years and 12 days, but it was a sparky, inspiring life, not without flaws and certainly not without friends. The vast Beaumont lobby was rife with her "peoples" — liberals, feminists and Texans.
Fiery newspaper columnist Molly Ivins, who was one of each, is quoted in the play as saying Richards "had Republican hair." At intermission, Kathleen Turner was heard to whisper, "She also said, 'The higher the hair, the closer to Heaven.'"
Turner, who had Taylor as her literary agent in "Romancing the Stone," hopes to bring to New York her one woman show, Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass wit of Molly Ivins. In fact, she said, "I'm trying to convince Holland that we should put them together so we each would only have to do four shows a week." She added that her rumored revival The Killing of Sister George is off. "I couldn't get the rewrites that I thought I needed for it, but I will be doing Mother Courage at the Arena Stage down in Washington."
Columnist-for-real Liz Smith [Fort Worth, TX], a friend of both Taylor and Richards, got the two of them together once for lunch at Le Cirque — the only time they ever met — but, after Richards' death, that meeting weighed on Taylor, sending her to the stacks for the four years of research that went into Ann. This may be why Smith feels a particularly personal connection to the piece. So far, she has seen it three times.
"Holland Taylor is always, and was always, sexually outrageous, both personally and professionally — this is why she was so perfect in 'Bosom Buddies,' in 'The Practice' and in 'Two and a Half Men,'" the columnist said. "When I first met Ann, who was about to run for governor, she was past all that. She was outrageous in a conservative Texas for her political activism, her liberal ideology and her 'smarts.' Sex didn't really occur to her anymore, except as something to joke about. But Holland has caught Ann's dedicated persona and, as she is a terrific actress, she is great. Ann, it seems to me, ended her life by giving Holland a new kind of religion."
Taylor, more or less, said "Amen!" to that when she arrived at the after-party, which was held — as long as the producers were thinking Texas-size big and got the Beaumont — at the Plaza. Double-decker sight-seeing buses were waiting at the theatre to whisk first-nighters off, through the rain, to the hotel. It may be the first one-person show, on Broadway or Off-, to rate the posh Plaza treatment.
The actress was greeted with wild applause when she made her fashionably late star entrance in the Plaza's main third-floor dining room and tried her darnedest to eat her first meal in a while, despite the rush of well-wishers and the pesky press.
"I just feel like the vessel," she admitted with unforced modesty. "Something magical has happened in my life. I would never just do something like this. Ann was a magical lady. That's why I did the play. I did the play to make an echo of her, of her inspiration. A young man came up who'd never heard of her and said he had never been so inspired. I said. 'That's exactly what I wanted. Thank you. My job is done."
An Emmy winner for "The Practice," she's not counting her Tony before it's hatched. "This is the reward. It's on, playing. It's doing wonderfully. People love it. That's it."
"Jack and Holland are very close friends and have worked together for years," he said. "When she was working on the script, she asked Jack to take a look at it, and he ended up recommending me to her. We've worked together on everything in the entire show. I've done a lot of editing with her because she did four years of working on the script and had so many glorious wonderful stories about Ann, and she wanted to cram 'em all into the play; so I've done a ton of editing, making sure the play was streamlined and we understood the woman without having too much fat there. She would fight me on it, and then she would go, 'You're right, you're right.'
"Can you imagine? At her age, with the career she has had, she created this. She made this happen because she was moved to do it she was so passionate about it."
Bob Boyett, who's lead producer here with Harriet Newman Leve, was beaming about his star's multitasking: "Holland did a fantastic job," he declared with sincere enthusiasm, "and she did everything. She was the writer, the co-producer, the actor, the researcher, everything. All that, and she happens to be a wonderful lady." He was also pleased at snagging the Beaumont for the show's Broadway bow. "Believe it or not, we've played bigger houses than the Beaumont. It kinda works because of the speech to a graduating class — they have gymnasiums and large auditoriums."
The freshly Oscared Anne Hathaway lent genuine glamour to the evening. (Her mom, Kate, is part of the platoon of producers for this one-person show.) Another is one of Taylor's "Two and a Half Men," the not-quite-so-freshly-Emmyed Jon Cryer.
The prettiest of the producing team — Emily Conner [Dayton, TX] — brought some local color to the party: Ann Richards all-white (a white satin cowboy suit, replete with rhinestone-studded purse and Stetson). She counts herself a transplanted Texan — "in New York City for 16 years, producing events. I'm very involved with Bette Midler's restoration project, and I'm an associate producer on this show.
"I knew Ann Richards in politics when she was state treasurer of Texas. My father was very close to Mark White, the governor at the time, so we used to campaign with Ann. She was a mentor to me then, and I knew her when she was in New York. In fact, I co-produced events for the launch of her book, 'I'm Not Slowing Down.'"
Country-western singer-songwriter Larry Gatlin [Seminole, TX] — decked out in red, white and blue, plus a Texas flag for a knee patch — knew Richards from his years in the Texas capitol: "She was a great broad. I liked her a lot, and I knew her very well. We used to meet each other at the river. The town lake in Austin was my favorite place to run. We used to run about the same time every morning. I'd get up about 7:30, 8 o'clock every morning and go run the river, and the governor — Annie — would be down there. She was bright, strong, well spoken, funny as she could be."
Sharing Gatlin's patriotic color-scheme was Tony Lo Bianco, whose LaGuardia one-man show, The Little Flower, takes root March 22 at the DiCapo Opera Theatre.
Gloria Steinem said Richards was state treasurer when they originally met. "We did many events and benefits together — and I treasure one thing that can't be put in this production: She used to put on a little comedy routine, putting on a pig nose and imitating 'good ole boys.'" Iris Love, the socialite archeologist, remembers that Richards happened to be sporting that pig snout the first time they met.
"My folks were very excited that I was coming to this tonight — they loved Ann," said Hunter Ryan Herdlicka [Dallas, TX], who's debuting his club act March 25 at the swank 54 Below. It's called "You Make Me Feel So Young." He is every bit of 26.
His date, under the mink hat, the mink coat and the big sunglasses, turned out to be his co-star in the last Broadway go-around of A Little Night Music, Elaine Stritch.
"What a great character for theatre!" said Follies' Ron Raines [Nacogoches, TX]. "I wish I'd met her. Everybody wanted to. Liz Smith was always showing her off."
"I met her in '82 when she was county commissioner," said Lily Tomlin. "We had the same birthday: Sept. 1 — and also Liz Carpenter, who was Lady Bird's secretary. Liz and I did fund-raisers with Ann, when she was treasurer and, later, governor."
Jane Wagner, Tomlin's comedy-writing partner, ghost-wrote Richards' famous crack about George H. W. Bush at the 1988 Democratic National Convention: "Poor George, he can't help it," she sighed. "He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."
Actor-director Gabriel Barre said he hopes to have the musical Amazing Grace on Broadway by the end of the year. This is the story of John Newton, who wrote that title hymn. "It takes place on all three points of the slave triangle in the 1700s and deals with his relationships to his father, to his childhood sweetheart and, of course, to God. We have our financing in place. Carolyn Rossi Copeland is shepherding the project."
Other Ann fans: entertainment lawyer Mark Sendroff; Entertainment Weekly Managing Editor Jess Cagle [Abilene, TX], back from Oscar's red carpet; Richard Osterweil; director-choreographer Kathleen Marshall and hubby-producer Scott Landis; Tony winners Ben Vereen and Richard Easton, producer Elizabeth Ireland McCann, playwright A.R. Gurney, whose 1991 play, The Old Boy, is getting a Keen resurrection along Theatre Row; Dan Jinks, Oscar-winning co-producer of "American Beauty"; publisher Joe Armstrong [Abilene, TX]; Jamie de Roy; MSNBC's Thomas Roberts and Susan Powell.
Linda Lavin met Richards the first day The Clintons took office. (The governor and the President converse a couple of times during Ann. "I was one of the performers who performed at the Clintons' First Day Dinner," recalled Lavin. "It was a dinner for the governors of the states and territories — in the White House, in the East Room. A lot of Broadway stars went down — Barbara Cook, Carol Channing. I met Jim Caruso, who now runs Birdland, and I sang, 'Why, Oh Way, Oh Why, Oh.' I also got to do 'Big D,' and that was the night of the Dallas Super Bowl. Ann Richards had watched the Super Bowl with the new President Clinton in his private television suite, and I got to sing that song to her and hear her whoop and holler. That's as much as I knew her, but I tell you that woman made a great difference for all of us. It was a great year, that year, and it was a great time. Ann Richards was a formidable force of nature and a powerful, brilliant woman. She said a lot of wonderful, funny things."

Miami Tops Road Rage Survey; Portland Most Courteous; Dallas/Fort Worth 5th Most Courteous
Miami Tops Road Rage Survey
The Daily Auto Insider
Thursday, May 17, 2007
The second annual In The Driver's Seat Road Rage Survey, commissioned by AutoVantage, a national auto club, found that the least courteous city in the country is Miami, followed by New York and Boston.
It's the second consecutive year that Miami claimed the top spot. The other two cities with the worst road rage were Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., according to an AutoVantage press release.
The most courteous city is Portland, Ore., followed closely by Pittsburgh, Seattle/Tacoma, St. Louis and Dallas/Ft. Worth.
The In The Driver's Seat 2007 AutoVantage Road Rage Survey was conducted to determine the driving habits and attitudes of commuters across the U.S. and to learn more about consumer views on the topic of road rage, AutoVantage said.
The survey's best and worst cities are:
Least Courteous Cities (Worst Road Rage):
1. Miami
2. New York
3. Boston
4. Los Angeles
5. Washington, D.C
Most Courteous Cities (Least Road Rage):
1. Portland, Ore.
2. Pittsburgh
3. Seattle/Tacoma
4. St. Louis
5. Dallas/Ft. Worth
Other cities surveyed include Phoenix; Chicago; Sacramento, Calif.; Philadelphia; San Francisco; Houston; Atlanta; Detroit; Minneapolis/St. Paul; Baltimore; Tampa, Fla.; San Diego; Cincinnati; Cleveland and Denver.
This year's survey sought to define road rage in America. Two important attributes emerged in defining road rage behavior:
Angry or upset drivers, including out-of-control drivers and drivers who lose their temper.
Bad or aggressive driving, including bad/careless/crazy and/or rude driving, cutting into lanes, cutting people off, tailgating, speeding and/or honking.
When asked the major causes of road rage in the survey, the most frequent theme was people being in a hurry, running late, being impatient and/or speeding.
"Bad/rude/careless driving, such as cutting others off, talking on the cell phone, speeding or going too slow in the fast lane"
"People who are angry, stressed or frustrated"
"People being in a hurry, impatient or running late"
Behaviors by other drivers that cause stress for commuters, and which can lead to road rage, include:
Driving too fast (66 percent observe this happening every day)
Tailgating (57 percent see this every day)
Cutting over without notice (45 percent see this every day)
Commuters also reported that other drivers frequently:
Talk on their cell phones (98 percent observe this at least once a week)
Do other tasks while driving (63 percent observe this at least once a week)
Run red lights (63 percent observe this at least once a week)
Slam on the brakes (63 percent see this happening at least once a week)
As a reaction to rude or bad driving by others, people surveyed admitted that they:
Honk their horn at the offending driver (35 percent)
Curse at the other driver (29 percent)
Wave their fist or arms (10 percent)
Make an obscene gesture (8 percent)
Call the police to report the driver (6 percent)
Slam into the car in front of them (1 percent)
Drivers weighed in on how to reduce rude driving and road rage:
Increase police presence (62 percent thought this would help)
Limit cell phone usage (55 percent)
Make it illegal to use cell phones while driving (53 percent)
Use automatic cameras to catch bad drivers (51 percent)
Conduct a major public awareness campaign (32 percent)
Other key findings of the study:
Younger drivers and those who have the longest commutes are most likely to react to an aggressive or rude driver.
There is no real difference between men and women when it comes to road rage.
Besides talking on the cell phone while driving (61 percent admit to this), the one thing that drivers in this survey were most likely to have done is drive too fast (59 percent). Most drivers admit to doing these at least some of the time.
Cutting over without notice. Drivers in New York are the most likely to witness this daily (63 percent), up from 45 percent in 2006. Drivers in Cleveland are least likely to see this (25 percent), down from 45 percent in 2006.
Tailgating. Drivers in Phoenix are most likely to see this behavior daily (69 percent), up from 51 percent in 2006. Drivers in Portland are the least likely to see tailgating (41 percent).
Slamming on the brakes. Drivers in Miami (39 percent) are most likely to witness this behavior daily, up from 23 percent, while drivers in Cleveland and Cincinnati are least likely (14 percent).
Running red lights. More than one-fourth (27 percent) said they see drivers every day who run red lights. Drivers in Miami are the most likely to witness this behavior (58 percent), up significantly from 40 percent, and drivers in Cleveland are least likely (14 percent), up slightly from 11 percent in 2006.
Driving too fast. Nearly two-thirds say they see drivers driving a lot faster than is safe for road conditions, up significantly from 57 percent last year. Drivers in Sacramento are more likely to see drivers driving too fast (81 percent) than those in Minneapolis/St. Paul (55 percent).
Talking on cell phone. Ninety percent say they see drivers talking on their cell phone every day, up from 83 percent in 2006. A full 96 percent of San Francisco drivers said they see this behavior daily, while drivers in Denver are less likely (82 percent).
Overall, more than one third, or 35 percent, said they see drivers doing other things like putting on makeup, shaving or reading while driving. Miami (54 percent) emerged as the city where this is most likely to be seen, while Seattle (19 percent) emerged as the place where this behavior is least likely to happen.
Survey Methodology
Prince Market Research, an independent marketing research company, was commissioned to conduct a nationally representative telephone study with consumers in 25 major metropolitan areas in the U.S. to learn more about consumer views on road rage. All telephone calls were conducted between Jan. 16 and March 23, 2007, during which period, a total of 2,521 interviews, lasting an average of six to eight minutes, were completed. No incentive was offered and the sponsor of the research was not revealed. The margin of error is +/- 2 percent.

if anyone says they cant find any traffic to write here then they are rather pathetic lolhttp://www.allpoetry.com/Grunts%20Girl
We dallied under
Vine maples and sapling alders
Searched for lady slippers
But instead
Found blackberry riots and
Desiccated branches
An old skid road
Brought ghost ferns and
Hollows filled with
Skunk cabbage
While waves wrapped
Intricate lacings of weeds
'Round mule spinners
His cyanotic eyes
Were hard enough to make
The sun turn tail and
Tender enough to attract me
To his world of illusion
That definitely matches my experiences in DC and DFW. DC driving is terrible.

When staging your Wayland master bedroom to sell, it is important to "think like a buyer." What do buyers want? What do they dream about?
I believe that buyers want a master bedroom that is a retreat to get away from the stresses of work and daily life challenges. They want to think of this room as a special place to rest and clear their heads. Here are some suggestions to think about:
Paint - A soft spa like color such as in blue/gray, soft gray or green makes the room feel relaxing. One of my favorites is Tranquility by Benjamin Moore.
Keep it Simple - Remove piles of clutter and extra furniture. Take out anything that reminds you of work. That includes exercise machines as well as desks, printers, etc.
Add Romance - Layers of bedding and pillows add a romantic touch. Keep it gender neutral and not too frilly. Add texture with throws, pillows, rugs that are soft to the touch. Ideally the bed should be the first thing that buyers see (beautifully made up, of course).
Create Other Relaxing Spaces - If the room is large enough, create a reading area. You can do this with a cozy chair, perhaps a throw and a book with a pair of glasses on top.
Add Fresh Flowers - Fresh flowers are a treat. Subliminally it tells the buyers what a special place this is.
Appeal to the Senses - You may spray the sheets with lavender, a scent that appeals to both genders. Or play soft music.
The goal is to make the buyers fall in love with the master bedroom and feel like this would be a great retreat for them. And the bonus is that you can enjoy this newly staged space while you are selling it:)

Missing Volo mom Aneta Marsek and her two young children were found safe in the Wisconsin Dells late Sunday after the mother walked into a gas station and asked the attendant to call 911.
Marsek and the children had been reported missing for more than one week, and law enforcement agencies from throughout Northern Illinois had begun searching ponds between Wauconda and Volo searching for them.
Lake County Sheriff's officials said Marsek told authorities she and her children had been living in her Chevrolet Trailblazer in a secluded wooded area near the Dells because "she had to get away."
The 33-year-old mother, of 261 N. Cornerstone Dr., Volo, walked into a gas station in the Wisconsin Dells shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, and asked the attendant to call 911, police said.
The woman identified herself to arriving officers as Aneta Marsek, and told them she believed people were looking for her and that she had been reported missing, according to a Lake County Sheriff's office press release.
Marsek lead Wisconsin Dells Police to her vehicle, where her two children, 2-year-old Chevelle and 4-month-old Macenzie, were located. She told police she had been living in her vehicle in the secluded wooded area off County Road H and Fitzgerald Road since arriving in the Dells days earlier.
Mother and children were transported by rescue services to St. Clair Hospital in Baraboo. Both children were found to be in good health and released into the custody of their father, Dan Marsek.
Anita Marsek was then transported to Winnebago Mental Health Facility in Oshkosh.
Dan Marsek, Anita's estranged husband had reported his wife and children missing on Oct. 10. He told authorities he had not seen or heard from his wife since Oct. 6. She was last seen leaving her parents' home in Wauconda, according to police.
The sheriff's office has requested the Lake County State's Attorney review the case for possible charges.
Exhaustive search
The Lake County Sheriff's Office used every available resource to find the mother and children including air and water search teams. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sent out 9,000 faxes of fliers with their photos and information, and an alert was issued to truck drivers in six states, said police.
In a statement by Marsek, Lake County Sheriff's detectives learned she did not leave the Volo area until the morning of Monday, Oct. 8. According to police, Marsek said she needed to "get away" and that the Dells area reminded her of "childhood memories".
"I would like to commend our many divisions of the Sheriff's Office that put their heart and souls into locating Anita and her children," said Sheriff Mark Curran.
"We want to thank the entire law enforcement community, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, friends and family of the missing and the media for their assistance and overwhelming support in their attempts to help us locate Anita and her two children. We are relieved that this had a good ending," said Curran.

The Rachael Ray Hard-Anodized 10-Piece Cookware Set is similar in many ways to the top-rated budget-friendly Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel 10-Piece Cookware Set (*Est. $130). Both sets offer even heating and good nonstick performance, but both have some durability issues. One difference between the two is that the Hard-Anodized cookware can be used on a smoothtop stove and the enameled cookware cannot. Otherwise, the two sets differ mostly in appearance.
The Rachael Ray cookware offers great performance for its price. Testers at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute say this cookware distributes heat evenly, maintains a steady simmer and has a good nonstick surface. Owners at Amazon.com and Cooking.com generally support these claims. "I have not burned anything, as the aluminum helps evenly distribute heat," reports one Amazon.com user. However, several owners caution that it is important to only use this cookware on low or medium heat to prevent food from burning. Another Amazon.com reviewer finds this frustrating, saying it "takes forever to boil noodles." However, a user at Cooking.com has the opposite problem, saying that this cookware actually burned spaghetti because water evaporates too quickly even on the low setting. Another limitation of this cookware is that, like all hard anodized cookware, it will not work on an induction cooktop.
Reviewers generally like this cookware's weight and features. One owner at Cooking.com says the weight is just right: not so light as to feel flimsy, but not so heavy as to be unwieldy. The reviewers at Good Housekeeping particularly like the cookware's stay-cool handles and lids. Although the cookware is not dishwasher-safe, reviewers say it is easy to clean by hand -- with a few caveats. First, the handles are attached with rivets, and food can collect under them. Second, the cookware will stain with use, although the Good Housekeeping review notes that the stains will come off with an abrasive cleanser.
This cookware has personality. The pots themselves have a dark gray finish, like most anodized aluminum cookware, but the orange handles add a pop of color that owners appreciate. (We found only one owner who described the orange color as "flashy" and "weird.") However, some owners are frustrated that the cookware's durability problems (discussed below) affect its looks after a short period of use.
Durability suffers with budget price tag. Several owners describe the pans as too light and flimsy, and many report that the nonstick finish peels off within a year or so. We also read complaints that the dark outer finish wears off during cleaning. "I loved these pans for the first 1-2 years and now they look horrible," mourns one Amazon.com user. Another weak point is the glass lids. Glass lids can obviously break if dropped, but many users like them anyway because they can see what they're cooking. However, of the many cookware sets with glass lids, this is the only one we saw with two separate reports of glass lids shattering during cooking. Owners report hearing a loud "pop" followed by small pieces of glass flying everywhere. Out of more than 500 reviews, only two mention this problem, but it's troubling nonetheless.

1. Good Housekeeping
Review Credibility: Very Good Testers at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluate nearly 50 lines of cookware on a wide variety of kitchen tasks. (The report covers cookware lines as a whole, not specific sets.) They simmer sauces, pan-brown burgers and (for nonstick cookware) prepare eggs without fat. Editors also evaluate the cookware's construction and how easy it is to clean. The Rachael Ray Hard-Anodized Cookware receives a grade of A-minus. Testers say it heats evenly, simmers steadily and is easy to clean by hand. On the downside, it stains with use, and food can get stuck under the handle rivets.

2. Amazon.com
Review Credibility: Good The Rachael Ray Hard-Anodized 10-Piece Cookware Set has about 415 reviews from owners at Amazon.com. Overall, it earns a rating of 4.5 stars out of a possible 5. Owners say it cooks evenly, looks nice and has a great nonstick surface that's easy to clean. However, there are some complaints about durability. Owners say that the nonstick cooking surface wears off quickly, and there are some reports of damage to the outer finish as well. A couple of users also report problems with the glass lids shattering during cooking.

Owners say the cookware cooks evenly, has a great nonstick finish and cleans up easily. They are split on the issue of durability, with some saying the nonstick finish holds up well and others complaining that it is easily damaged. Overall, 94 percent of owners recommend the cookware and 92 percent consider it a good value.

'The Devil Inside'
January 12, 2012 4:45 PM
Peter Travers typically waits until the end of the month to toss the worst movies into the Scum Bucket, the disgusting repository for Hollywood's foulest junk, but this January is so awful that he already has two films that need to be thrown in immediately. First up is Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah in the excruciatingly dull gospel comedy Joyful Noise. Then there's The Devil Inside, a horror movie so terrible it may end up being the worst picture of 2012.

6 Job Search "Signs" That Don't Actually Mean Anything
Supposed signals that mean nothing.
Because job searching can be frustrating and full of disappointments, and because employers can be so difficult to read, job seekers often try to find clues about their candidacy in things that employers say and do. But plenty of what job seekers take as "signals" from employers really don't reveal anything at all.
Here are six actions that job seekers often see meaning in, but in reality often don't mean anything at all.
1. The employer reposted the job. Job seekers often assume that if a job is re-advertised, it must mean that none of the candidates were satisfactory and the employer is starting from scratch. But to the contrary, many employers simply keep job listings active until the position has been filled, which often means refreshing ads that would otherwise expire. Don't assume that if you see a job you applied for reposted, it means you aren't still in the running.
2. The job suddenly disappears from the employer's website. At the opposite end from the employers in point No. 1 are employers who remove job listings as soon as the application period closes—even before they've begun conducting interviews. Don't assume that just because a listing has been removed, the job has been filled. Plenty of the time, the hiring process is still ongoing.
3. An employer is taking longer to get back to you than they said they would. Employers regularly underestimate the amount of time that different stages of the hiring process will take—and they don't generally take the time to proactively update candidates when timelines change. Candidates often don't realize this and interpret delays as a bad sign, when they're often just a normal part of the process.
4. After your interview, the hiring manager introduced you to others in the office or even showed you where your office would be. Job candidates often interpret these sorts of actions as a signal that they'll probably get the job, figuring that the interviewer wouldn't bother otherwise. And while this is sometimes true, it's also sometimes just an employer's standard practice for all job candidates. Don't read too much into it.
5. The interviewer tells you that your qualifications are exactly what they're looking for. When an interviewer seems enthusiastic, job candidates sometimes think that means that an offer can't be far off. But most employers have multiple strong candidates, so enthusiasm for one in no way guarantees that they won't be more enthusiastic about another. Job seekers can save themselves a lot of heartache and disappointment by remembering that even if the interview goes well, the employer is interviewing other candidates who may be just as strong a fit—or even stronger. Speaking of which…
6. The interviewer tells you that they're interviewing other people. Candidates often think that an interviewer who mentions this is trying to let them down easily or signal that they shouldn't get their hopes up. While that is indeed sometimes the case, it's also something that many interviewers say as a matter of course to all candidates—because they are interviewing other people. It's not a good or bad sign; it's just how hiring works.

Last Saturday, some 350 Christians of all ages – representing 29 churches of many denominations and at least 10 different cities – joined together for Operation Jesus.
The goal for Operation Jesus Phase 2 was to reach every home in Mineral Wells with what Founder Steve Monson calls "STP" – a smile, a tract and a prayer. The morning began at 8 a.m. where everyone gathered for breakfast and prayer. Mark Alcorn, owner of My Father's Business, commented, "It was great to see all those people of different churches and different nationalities together for one purpose. It was like a glimpse of Heaven."

Kathy Sullivan: In NH, some politicians are acting like knuckleheads
In the spirit of bipartisanship, I will start with a Democrat, Rep. Tim Horrigan of Durham. I do not know Rep. Horrigan well, but from what I do know he seems to have his heart in the right place in wanting to be of use to the people of his district. He also seems to take being a state legislator very seriously. However, he has a penchant for getting in trouble when using the Internet.
In August, 2010, he participated in a Facebook discussion about the impact Sarah Palin's death might have. After the controversy went national, he resigned, but then unsuccessfully tried to withdraw the resignation. Despite the incident, the voters of Durham reelected him, and then reelected him again in 2012.
The Palin comment controversy should have ended public pronouncements by Horrigan about the deaths of prominent figures, but whoops - he did it again. Last week, Horrigan forwarded a tweet from someone else that apparently was supposed to be a joke about Dick Cheney shooting Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. He quickly realized it was a mistake, and deleted it. However, he should not have retweeted it in the first place. Joking about someone getting shot is bad enough, but when it is a state representative joking about a member of our highest court getting shot, it is just inexplicable and inexcusable.
Horrigan now has deprived his constituents of effective representation, as the controversy will be a distraction from his duties as a representative. Despite his subsequent and sincere apology, he has embarrassed the General Court, which has suffered way too many embarrassing moments from inappropriate conduct and statements over the last couple of years. Additionally, but of much lesser importance, he has handed the Republicans a club with which to hit the Democratic House majority. Rep. Horrigan has said he will not resign again, but if I were him, I would consider it - and also give up my Twitter account.
Then there was Executive Councilor Chris Sununu, who had his own "what were you thinking?" moment. A former member of the Salem Budget Committee was convicted of obstructing government operations after he tried to stop EMTs from taking his wife to the hospital after she called 911. Charges for felony witness tampering are still pending. He asked Sununu to write him a character letter.
Sununu, who says he writes character letters "all the time," hand-delivered the letter to the court, where it ended up on the desk of the presiding judge in the case. That is a possible violation of RSA 640: 3(b). That law makes it a crime for any person to privately address a public servant who has judicial or administrative discretion with the purpose of influencing that decision. The Salem police have asked the Attorney General to investigate the matter.
Sununu's direct delivery of the letter may have been an unintentional act, although one would hope that an elected official who writes character letters all the time would know that he is not supposed to contact the court directly. But his next action, which has not received much attention, is what was really remarkable.
He personally approached Michael Delaney, the New Hampshire Attorney General, the state's top prosecutor and the man whose office would handle an investigation, and discussed the matter with him. Perhaps Sununu was unaware at that point that the Salem police had requested an investigation, but he at the least knew that the judge in the case had called Sununu's actions highly unusual and untoward.
In any event, in speaking with Delaney, Sununu may have violated the same law for a second time: privately addressing a public servant who has discretion with the purpose of influencing that decision. Delaney's term is up in a few months; if Delaney is reappointed, Sununu will be voting on his confirmation. Sununu's internal ethical alarm clock should have told him that going to Delaney directly like this was inappropriate.
Just a few days later, when speaking at the New Hampshire Republican State Committee meeting, Sununu referred to Democrats as "knuckleheads." All you can do is shake your head that someone who may have violated the same statute twice in three days, and who did not realize that speaking to the state's top prosecutor about the matter might be questionable (especially when he may be voting on that person's reappointment in a matter of weeks), is calling anyone else a "knucklehead."
Kathy Sullivan is a Manchester attorney and member of the Democratic National Committee. She was chairman of the state Democratic Party from 1999-2007.

By Verna Davis
For The Herald Bulletin
---- — Some things simple boggle my mind. For example, it defies understanding how the upper portion of my body can endure a sweating, temperature-rising, face-reddening hot flash while my feet are constantly freezing. It also amazes me that the pert, perky, THIN woman wearing those adorably-fitting exercise clothes warns me that I need to wear loose clothing while coming to exercise alongside her. With mind-boggling speed, I replied, "Honey, if I had any loose fitting clothes I wouldn't have had to come sign up for this exercise class in the first place!"
Other things boggle my mind, too. For instance, why does a round pizza come in a square box? As for that cured ham, what disease was it actually cured of? Is it still safe to eat? Who decides how to make bucket seats for movie theaters and high school auditoriums when not everyone's bucket is the same size? Why do you "put your two cents in" but offer others "a penny for your thoughts?" Where did the extra penny come from?
But here's what really boggles my mind. God loves us. He created the earth and all that is in it, on it, and over it in six days. He used a stuttering and bumbling Moses to lead his people out of bondage. With patience and faithfulness, God provided for the impatient and unfaithful people he loved. He raised up heroes in Noah, Samuel, David, Samson, Daniel, and Elijah. He gave Isaiah the message of the coming Messiah. Then that Messiah came. Because God loves us.
John 3:16-17 verifies that. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."
Then, in John 14:1,2, Jesus says, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you." When Jesus spoke those words, he knew he would have to undergo unbelievable torture and persecution before he would be able to return to his Father's house. He said those words to his disciples, but he was also thinking of us as he said them.
The Message translates Romans 5:7-9 this way: "we can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him. Now that we are set right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way."
Wow. God loves us that intensely. Really boggles the mind, doesn't it?

SPRING -- Administrators at Spring High School increased police presence on Tuesday after there were as many as a dozen fights on Monday.
"She pulled out the pepper spray and hit the kid right in the eyes. He hit the floor and we all ran and everybody is pushing each other out of the way," said Spring High freshman Cody Duncan.
Tuesday was different thanks to an extra dozen of Spring ISD police spread out all over the school campus. Students said they were also kept in their classrooms all day.
"You can't leave to go to the restroom; you can't leave to go to the nurse, to the office unless they call you out personally," said junior Ali Novak.
While the school was not officially on lock down, SISD administrators said there was a significant increase in police presence here.
That wasn't enough for Novak.
"I don't feel safe in this school at all," she said. "I just moved back here and I don't want to be here. It is really dangerous."
Students said there were as many as a dozen fights on campus on Monday alone, but not everyone thinks things are out of control.
Senior Nick Veogorella said, "For the most part, they don't do too bad. I don't feel not safe or anything."
Plenty of others do, including parents like Margie Arnold. She pulled her son out of school for the rest of the day.
"There is a safety issue at the school," said Arnold. "I feel like the school needs to notify the parents and leave it up to us whether we feel it is important enough to take action at that point."
Arnold said a letter of notice was not sent home, and when she called the administration office to find out what was going on at the school, no one would give her any information.

MODESTO — An office manager and staff continue to care for elderly residents of Sundial Palms Manor on McHenry Avenue in Modesto. But employees Monday said they dont know what the future holds.
We are up in the air, said one employee, who asked not to be identified. We have the state here every day. The state is not telling us anything.
Catholic Charities Monica Ramos, who coordinates the elder care ombudsman program under contract with Stanislaus County, assured that staff remains on duty and state officials continue to investigate complaints at the facility. About 65 residents remain at the 808 McHenry Ave. care facility, about half of them in a unit for people with Alzheimers disease or dementia.
Ramos said she was at Sundial Manor on Sunday, visiting with residents. Many of them are pretty happy; others have pointed out problems, she said. The licensing agency is still trying to work with the owner to make corrections.
Questions swirled around Sundial Manor after the state-ordered closure of a Bay Area facility under the same owner which resulted in an ugly fiasco. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, employees of Valley Manor Residential Care in Castro Valley walked out on residents late last week. The Chronicle reported about 15 residents were left alone in miserable conditions.
The California Department of Social Services took action Thursday to close the Castro Valley facility over license violations, but the agency was criticized for its oversight and monitoring of the facility closure. The Sundial Manor and Valley Manor in Castro Valley are owned by Herminigilda Hilda Manuel and her daughter Mary Manuel. An attempt by The Modesto Bee to reach them wasnt successful.
In recent days, Sundial Manor has received calls from other care facilities offering to take their residents if needed, staff said.
Rosie Prado, office manager for Sundial Manor, said she doesnt expect the same action by the state will be taken for the Modesto center. The residents are being taken care of, Prado said. The people from the state are helping us.
A spokesman from the Department of Social Services did not return two calls from The Bee on Monday.
The state has been reviewing Sundials license for alleged violations, including understaffing, inadequate food supply and failure to provide residents with a nutritious diet. A report from the departments legal division said that during one visit by inspectors, only five staff members were on duty to care for 92 residents, and one caregiver was providing for the needs of 45 residents who suffer from Alzheimers disease or dementia.
Some residents of Sundial Manor moved to other care facilities after residents and their families received letters from the state saying the license was under review. The center also has had trouble keeping staff.
An employee told a Bee reporter in September that Hilda Manuel cut workers pay when she purchased the facility two years ago, causing many workers to leave. Some employees have said they havent seen the owners for more than a year.
The 25-member staff has heard that new owners or management would be taking over, but they are waiting for the transition. Medical technician Davina Bratton said a new supervisor was trying to hire more workers and added a cook last week.
The food has gotten better, Bratton said. The staffing is still low, but they are trying to work on that.
Ramos said she believes conditions were far worse at the Castro Valley center than at Sundial Manor. There are some problems that need attention (at Sundial Manor), but there is potential. Its still a nice facility, Ramos said.
Bratton said shes confident the remaining staff will stay with residents no matter what happens. We are not going to walk out on our residents, Bratton said. The people who are still here have been here for three or four years. There are times we were told we werent going to get paychecks, but we didnt get mad and walk out.
Bee staff writer Ken Carlson can be reached at email@example.com or (209) 578-2321.
