GOOSE LAKE — The Northeast Rebels dropped their season-opening game and Game 1 of Jared Block's head coaching career at Northeast. Officials called a halt to the game after a lengthy lightning delay. The visiting North Cedar Knights grabbed the victory by a score of 28-0 after just two quarters of play.
The Rebels had a hard time at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball as the Knights out gained the home team by a 281-40 yardage count.
"We came out flat and they were able to control the line of scrimmage, and usually in football games, when you do that you're going to be able to do some things," Block said.
Tevin Stoecker and Will Hasken led the Rebels in rushing with 11 yards each, and Hasken added another 15 yards through the air. All 15 yards were caught by Jack Murphy.
The Knights got things going half way into the first quarter with a 58-yard drive that was capped off by a 6-yard run on the quarterback keeper by Jayden Johnson. The extra point kick was missed and the score stood at a 6-0 lead for North Cedar.
After a quick three-and-out by the Rebels, the Knights struck again as Derrick Gray scampered in from 5 yards out after a 53-yard drive that took just 1 minute and 41 seconds. Gray added a run for the two-point conversion to increase the lead to 14-0.
Derrick Gray added another score on a 16-yard run with the first play of the second quarter to increase the North Cedar lead to 21-0.
Not long after the second quarter score, the first delay of the game because of lightning in the area at the 9:51 mark pulled the two teams off the field for 53 minutes.
That only delayed the Knights' offense as once the game resumed, so did the visiting team. Jayden Johnson hit Seth Hamilton on a seven-yard pass play for a touchdown and with the extra point, the Knights pushed their lead to 28-0 with 5:18 to play in the half.
The Rebels were hoping to get back out to start the second half and change the momentum but never got a chance to see the field again as officials announced another weather delay because of lightning. The game never resumed as it was called an official game at 10:30 p.m.
"Good thing it was a non-district game and we can take some things and learn from it," Block said. "It almost felt like we played another scrimmage, we're going to see who we got and make sure we line-up where we're suppose to be."
The Rebels host Tipton next Friday.
"The film won't lie and we'll see who can cut it and who looks good in practice," Block said. "We're going to have to reevaluate some different positions."
The Rebels fell to 0-1 on the young season.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A recent report says a three-year Medicaid redesign by the state had unintended consequences.
The former Mountain Health Choices program was supposed to reduce hospital emergency room visits. But the report says the program resulted in more Medicaid recipients seeking care at emergency rooms.
House Health and Human Resources chairman Don Perdue tells the Associated Press that the program wound up costing the state money instead of saving money.
Implemented in 2007, the program created a two-tier system. People who committed to healthy behaviors received more benefits than what the traditional Medicaid program offered. Those who didn't received fewer benefits.
West Virginia scrapped the program in 2010 after a new federal rule went into effect. The rule requires adult enrollments in such programs to be voluntary.

Did you wonder how removal efforts in Highland Park stack up against neighboring towns?
Patch has been wondering the same thing and decided to take a closer look.
Want Highland Park news in your inbox? Subscribe to Patch's newsletter.
Highland Park has 150 miles to clear and utilizes 15 trucks, according to Bill Stewart of the Department of Public Works. That makes an average of 10 miles per truck.
Neighboring Deerfield plows 70 miles of roads each time it snows using 20 trucks with plows of varying sizes, according to Street Foreman Eric Oscarson. That would be 3.5 miles of road per vehicle.
Lake Forest has 120 miles of roads needing attention and puts 14 trucks on the street, according to Public Works Director Michael Thomas. That is an average of 8.57 trucks per mile.
Though smaller, Lake Bluff comes in with an average of 4.75 miles per vehicle. According to Public Works Director Jake Terlat, the Village puts eight trucks on the road to clear 38 miles of streets.

Mix the Army and Marine Corps and well let your imagination go. Put war veterans on the same boat, and youll have the seventh annual Oorah vs. Hooah Fishing Battle.
Nearly 40 combat-wounded Marines and Army soldiers will fish against each other in the Oct. 18 wahoo tournament. The day of fishing will take place aboard the Vonda Kay out of the Bridge Tender Marina at Wrightsville Beach.
This event is a great way to boost morale for combat-wounded service members, said Jordan Huffman, community relations coordinator for Hope for the Warriors, which conducts the event with help from sponsor PPD and volunteers including members of Raleighs Old South Marlin Club.
Hope for the Warriors works to enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty, according to the Annandale, Va., nonprofits website at www.hopeforthewarriors.org.
The activities will begin with an Oct. 17 dinner for participants and sponsors at the marina, and the weigh-in and dinner will cap off the event. To donate, call (910) 938-1817 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
CCA tournament Saturday: The Coastal Conservation Association North Carolinas annual Inside and Out Fishing Tournament will be held 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Portside Marina in Morehead City.
The Out Division catches king mackerel, and Inside Division anglers fish for red drum, speckled trout and flounder. The tournament benefits CCA Marine Fisheries programs, the N.C. Marine Patrol and the Take A Kid Fishing Foundation.
Entry is $175 per boat. Find details at www.ccanc.org.
Concealed carry classes: Trigger Happy Guns and Accessories on Main Street in Clayton will conduct one-day concealed carry classes 8 a.m.-5 pm. this Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday.
The cost is $75 in advance. Equipment is required. Call (919) 585-6504.
Youth hunt planned: A few permits remain for a youth-only deer hunt offered by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission on Dec. 14 at the Weyerhaeuser-Cool Springs Environmental Education Center between Vanceboro and New Bern.
Youths 12-15 who have completed a hunter education course may hunt with a licensed adult. Purchase the $5 permits by Nov. 22 at Wildlife Service Agent locations, online at www.ncwildlife.org or by phone at (888) 248-6834. Orientation will be held Dec. 7. Contact BB Gillen at email@example.com or (919) 218-3638.
Commercial fishermen needed: Applications are due by Tuesday from commercial fishermen who want to be hired to remove abandoned fishing gear from Currituck Sound south to Oregon Inlet and in parts of Albemarle Sound, the N.C. Coastal Federation said in a news release announcing the winter pilot program with the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries.
Grant funding from NOAA and N.C. Sea Grant will be used to hire about 12 fishermen to help N.C. Marine Patrol. Volunteers also are needed. Contact Ladd Bayliss at (252) 473-1607 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Besides watching the game and enjoying the commercials, snacking is a huge part of Super Bowl parties. In fact, Americans consume more calories during the Super Bowl than nearly any other day during the year—second only to Thanksgiving!
We all know the major culprits, says Rachel Berman, registered dietitian, nutritionist, and director of nutrition for CalorieCount.com, a free health and wellness site with more than 5 million members.
One serving of nachos can add up to more than 550 calories and 30 grams of fat, while a serving of chicken wings packs in 440 calories and 26 grams of fat.
So, instead of mindlessly eating your way through the Big Game, try the following tips:
Save on Saturated Fat:
1. Add more beans instead of meat to a chili recipe, look for reduced-fat cheese for nachos, and swap Greek yogurt for sour cream when making dips and spreads.
2. Make a healthier version of chicken wings by baking chicken tenders that are lightly seasoned with your favorite spices—and serve reduced-fat blue cheese.
Save on Refined Carbohydrates:
1. Serve a big crudités platter with interesting veggies like artichoke hearts, radishes, mushrooms, grilled asparagus, and jicama, and pair with hummus or salsa.
2. Make a healthier version of chips by slicing whole-wheat pitas into wedges and then lightly toasting these in the oven.
Save Excess Calories:
1. Beer, even light beer, can pack on the calories. It also can lead to mindless munching. Keep track of how much you drink and steer clear of any specialty cocktails prepared with juice or soda.
2. When it's time for kick-off, relax and enjoy the celebration—but keep an eye on portion size and make a plate of food when hungry instead of grazing throughout the day.

Quote:I also enjoyed this review. If I ever get one of these, I probably would not use the intelliscope feature. Too bad they can't knock a bit off the price if you don't want this feature. I just need a bigger light bucket, not gee-whiz electronics. That's just me.
Quote:Thanks for the info!
I also wonder how well the collimation holds from session to session. Anyone notice a problem?
Quote:Dave; great review....2 questions ,if I might.
Was your 14 the new version with the conical mirror?
And if someone bought one, Id assume it would usable as is???refering to the mirror.
Quote:Very nice report David. I recently bought the Orion XX14g and like it alot. I did, however, notice that setup of the upper tube assembly is made much easier XX14g. Orion must have changed the way the trusses connect due to your article because I simply tighten the lower truss poles to the lower tube assembly until they are tight, and place the UTA on top. The UTA fits perfectly without having to juggle it around on top. By the way, is there an approximate price that you can give me that Lockwood charged to refigure the mirror? I am happy with the mirror so far, but I may want to install some premium optics in this telescope at some point. Gene

Three Crusaders Kick Off Hillsdale Gina Relays
Thursday, April 26, 2007Emilie Marsicek (Spalding, Mich./Carney-Nadeau) and Lindsey Gilman (South Bend, Ind./Marian) competed in the first four events of the heptathlon, while Dustin Lawrence (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence Central) completed the first five events of the decathlon to kick off action at the Hillsdale Gina Relays Thursday in Hillsdale, Mich.
After the first four events of the heptathlon, Marsicek sits in sixth place, while Gilman currently resides in 11th position. Marsicek captured top honors among the competitors in the shot put with a toss of 43'7 ¾", less than a foot shy of the school record she set last week. Gilman's best event finish was a tie for seventh in the high jump, as she registered a mark of 4'10 ½", the fourth-best effort in the event in Crusader history.
Lawrence ranks in tenth place after five of the ten events that comprise the decathlon. His best event finish was a ninth-place showing in the 400m dash.
The three Crusaders will be joined by the rest of the Valpo track and field squads as the second day of competition kicks off Friday morning at 8 a.m. CDT.

Richland graduate Austin Urban isn't sure where he'll be in August.
The former AAABA League standout pitcher might reach a deal with the Chicago Cubs, who selected him in the 41st round of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft in June. A Cubs scout was scheduled to watch Urban pitch Sunday in the Cal Ripken Sr. Collegiate Baseball League in Maryland.
If his pro aspirations don't materialize for a second straight year – the Baltimore Orioles drafted Urban in the 27th round in 2010 but the two sides failed to agree on a contract – Urban most likely will be in Johnstown for the AAABA Tournament on Aug. 8. Only instead of pitching for Delweld, the right-hander will wear the uniform of defending champion and perennial power Youse's Maryland Orioles of Baltimore.
Urban also must consider whether he'll return to Des Moines, Iowa, later in the month to continue his college career at Des Moines Area Community College.
In other words, Urban is dealing with a lot of scenarios.
"It's been stressful again," Urban said, recalling a similar experience a year ago during negotiations with the Baltimore Orioles that lasted right up to the mid-August signing deadline before falling through. "It's been fun, but it's been stressful with everything going on and my not knowing if I'm going to go back to school. I'm trying to enjoy myself. I've got to just go out and play."

Ten Friday night Matches at Etihad Stadium
The opening bounce of the AFL Premiership season occurs at Etihad Stadium on Friday, March 14 when home team Collingwood plays last year's runners up, Fremantle.
The opening round, to be played over two weekends, consists of four matches at Etihad Stadium.
There will again be a total of 48 'home and away' played at the venue, which was the same number as 2013, with ten of the 2014 games to be played on Friday nights. Last season the venue hosted eight Friday night matches.
Etihad Stadium will also host the first three Friday night matches of the season, with potentially a Round 2 blockbuster occurring between Essendon and last year's premiers, Hawthorn.An additional highlight will be Indigenous Round, which commences with a Nicky Winmar Tribute game, featuring Collingwood and St Kilda, on Friday, May 30.
Additional 'home and away' highlights include two clashes between Carlton and Geelong in Rounds 12 and 21. Essendon's first match of the season – an away game against North Melbourne – should see Dustin Fletcher break the club games' record.
The venue will host two Sunday 7.40pm matches – the first occurring between Carlton and Port Adelaide in Round 1. The other occurs when North Melbourne meets Richmond in Round 12.

He also said that he believed that even though I am not a cancer patient that he believes that I need these strong opiate meds. Once again I am at a crossroads with having to find a new pm dr.
This is driving me crazy and I am so tired of this happening to me every 2 or 3 yrs.
I am extremely tired of hearing about this ... and really wish and hope that I could find a very competant pain mgt. dr. that would not dump me and would listen to me and work w/me.
I mean, come on, guys, this is getting way too serious to just think that it will go "bye bye" because it will not.
Just the other day I was helping my daughter with something in her bedroom and one of our new cats ran under her bed. I bent down to try and catch the kitty and darn, I ended up twrilling around and bumped my own forehead on a piece of furniture and blood was spraying out of my head like a water sprinkler. I went to the closest hospital in an ambulance. At the ER, I never even saw a Dr., they sent in a PA and he was so reluctant to prescribe anything for my pain even when I had told them what meds that I was taking. After he used the DrmaGlue on my forehead to stop the bleeding instead of using stiches, I asked him for a scrip for a muscle relaxant and he said no. He said he would let me have 1 (5 mg. Valium) in the hospital and then I could go home. They did a CT scan of my head and neck, but I was never examened any further. When I got home I went to bed and later took a bath and have a huge black and blue bruise on my left side when I fell. They never even saw that because they did not examine me me properly.
Today that same hospital called to get my feedback as to how I was treated there. I told the woman that I was treated like a "drug addict" and explained more info to her that I had told the PA and the nurse at the hospital ER dept. She apologized and said that she would give the info to the director of the hospital. I told her that I would never come back there unless I was about to die.
I am fed up with the entire system that tries so hard to keep chronic patients from receiving the proper meds to treat us. I do not know what the answers are and will never understand why they treat us like we are "drug addicts". I have had it.
Many people have ruined it for the real sufferers.
At least, as I am understanding, the MD is changing and not prescribing opioids any more, right? It's not about you.
Not that this is helping you and, right?
What can you do? If the MD told you that he would find a new MD for you, then he really should! This is just wrong.
I guess that you'll have to try to find a pain management MD yourself, right/
I can think of only one possible option: can you see a specialist who works with patients who have whatever your underlying disease, disorder, injury that you suffer?
For example, if you have a spine injury that is causing you pain can you see an orthopaedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon/ neurologist?
Perhaps the MD who specializes in your medical problem can refer you to a pain management MD.
I cannot help but ask if you are in Florida. I am not, but it sounds as if getting properly medicated is especially tough down there.
Regarding the bruising, most times the discolouring of a bruise does not show up for many hours after impact.
A CAT or MRI will show if you had any intra-cranial bleeding, which is a potentially life-threatening issue.
As there was no internal bleeding, there was really nothing else they could do for you, so you were discharged home.
In my humble opinion, and as an RN, Tylenol would be prescribed for the injury that you described. Seldom would an opioid be appropriate for this type situation.
Frankly, I am surprised that they gave you a Valium. Your level of consciousness should be assessed after a head injury, minor as it may seem to you.
Even though you went home, if you were to become unusually groggy or excessively sleepy, this would indicate that you may need to be re-evaluated.
Do you have a doctor who treats your underlying condition that causes the pain? I hope that this MD will be able to help you.
Please let us know, okay?
Best wishes,
Gee, what is going on?
Since the initiator of the discussion has a pain management MD who is prescribing, she probably has a contract.
This contract would not allow her to request controlled meds from an ER doctor without her pain management MD's consent.
Therefore, that the ER MD did not give her any pain meds for her laceration is justified.
If the laceration was closed with surgical glue, not sutures, and the CAT/ MRI did not indicate an intra-cranial bleed, that is really the proper treatment for an ER.
The CAT/ MRI must be interpreted by an MD, so this patient did get proper MD attention to the ER complaint.
I do wonder why this patient was given a 5 mg Valium upon this occasion. Valium is not a med indicated for a laceration.
Perhaps there is some behavioural issue.
As many have pointed out, we who require opioid medications for our pain management, in order for us to function, need to watch every step that we make.
It is a witch hunt and we are the witches!
We MUST follow our contracts to the absolute letter.
The DEA is, indeed, scrutinizing our pain management MDS.
They can protect our pain management only so much.
It is our responsibility to follow our contracts exactly, with more care than ever before, lest our MDs not be able to treat us.
I am feeling and thinking that some-of-us are not taking this threat seriously and think that I am some kind of iron-fisted nun.
This is NOT about me! This is about the social climate toward non-cancer chronic-pain patients and our MD's ability to treat us.
ANY violation of our contracts can, and will, be the kiss of death to our being medicated to some-kind of comfort.
I am, sadly, a harbinger of doom.
I am writing these things because I care so deeply about every one of us who is suffering.
My friends on this site know this is true.
I communicate via email, phone, chat, Facebook, in person- any way that I can offer any person in pain info on SCS, a little hope when it seems hopeless, a word of encouragement from someone (me) who has had two fusions and other nasty surgeries, and an RN.
I freely post me email address for anyone who may with to speak to me privately.
I personally CARE about us and what is happening with the DEA, insurance "protocols", MDs under attack, NCCP under attack.
Please heed my words and be extra, extra careful!
What we may view as a minor thing, the DEA may view as a reason to fore our MD to stop prescribing our meds.
This is NOT a personal attack against anyone!
I am frightened for all of us.
YES! We ARE being looked upon as addicts!
This is why we must behave 100% accountable to our pain management contracts, do absolutely nothing that can, and may, be used against us.
I, personally, have no issue with keeping meds after the RX has been discontinued,
if this could possibly be discovered, then it can lead to disaster for me and for my pain management MD.
As I have said, over-and-over:
There is a witch hunt going on, and WE are the witches!
It is not time to do anything- anything- that could possibly violate out contract, and our ability to get the medications that we need to function
The DEA and insurance companies, with their mandates and "suggestions" of how much morphine, or trivalent, our MDs can prescribe, are 100% serious.
We must answer this threat to our well-being with as much seriousness.
Our adherence to our contracts MUST be 100%.
I do not like it, and, heretofore, I have stockpiled (mostly for having a day-or-two of meds at family members homes should I not feel up to driving home and stay overnight), but, with society's fuelled-up negativism directed toward nccp, I have, indeed, relinquished every single little pill.
100% compliance is among the only thing that we can do, in addition to alerting our elected reps about our stance, to protect us, and our MDs.
This MUST be taken very, very seriously!
This is so disappointing to hear, to read. My Heavens, I know I cry most of the day because I hurt so badly. Its so depressing.
It brings me back to those days in my life when all I could do was cry when it got bad. I would cry until I was so exhausted; that is how I slept.
Then, I got the help that I needed to make my pain less-intolerable. I don't think that any of us who live with chronic pain ever gets to be pain free, even in our sleep, we sigh, weep, spasm. Any of our sleeping partners will attest to that.
Pain management did help more-than I had expected. It is a process and, sadly, the right answer or combination of meds and therapies may not happen with your first visit, but you will get some relief.
Ultimately, for me, it was a spinal cord stimulator that gave me the comfort to live a semi-normal life.
The message is to never lose hope. If you must, hang on one day at a time. Get through each day knowing that it is one day closer to your pain management MD appt.
I have posted my email address all over the site, but I am posting again if you want to talk privately, or more, or communicate on a different venue. Having people with whom to talk may help, especially until you get to see the pain management MD, will make a difference.
Mostly, stop by this site often; you are never alone here.
In all this time, I have never gotten spam, get put on a bot list, nor has anyone emailed me in any inappropriate manner.
Hang in there, Nikkita.
I agree that we are the "witches"! It just makes me so angry sometimes. I also agree that we have no choice but to adhere to our contracts to the "t". Sometimes, that's hard to do. I have short term memory loss and cannot always remember everything in the contract, which makes this very scary for me. Once when I had a surgery, I forgot to contact my PM dr. and was taking addt'l pain meds due to the surgery and got in trouble. Bad mistake!
I just don't know why they(DEA) can't understand that we(non-cancer chronic pain sufferers) are not the "witches" that they are looking for???
CTBeth is right-the main thing for you right now is: Don't give up! Keep working on it until you find the right mix for you.
Google "Senator Charles Grassley." His actions over the past few years has just added to the difficulty in physicians being able to prescribe pain meds and other meds if you receive medicaid.

A man arrested for burglarizing at least six Waterford homes in September, along with homes in other towns, told police his heroin addiction was the driver behind his alleged crime spree, according to court records reviewed by Patch Monday.
Scott Tyrone, 32, of 615 Bank St, New London was arrested this month on seven counts of burglary and a host of other charges after he allegedly admitted to burglarizing at least six homes throughout Waterford in September, along with homes in New London and other towns. Tyrone allegedly stole mostly jewelry and other gold items, including one man's Navy medals, which he sold to gold-buying stores and pawn shops to fuel his heroin addiction, according to court records.
"Tyrone stated that he was burglarizing homes to support his heroin habit," New London Police Officer Matthew Galante wrote in an arrest warrant. "Tyrone also stated that he was driven by his addiction and was under the influence of heroin while committing the burglaries."
The Full Story
In September, Waterford Police issued a warning to the public after at least six homes were burglarized in the span of a few weeks. The burglarized homes were spread out throughout Waterford, as Tyrone was later charged with burglarizing homes on Vauxhall Street Ext, Niles Hill Road, Old Norwich Road, Fog Plain Road and others.
Police originally arrested Tyrone in September for sixth-degree larceny after they found a gold watch at a Groton pawn shop that was stolen from a home on Fog Plain Road. The owner of the pawn shop said Tyrone sold him the watch, leading to an arrest, according to court records.
After that connection, Waterford Police, working with New London Police who also reported a string of recent burglaries, tracked what other items Tyrone sold to pawn shops and gold-buying shops. Many of the items they found were items reported as being stolen from Waterford homes, according to court records.
On September 26, two Waterford Police detectives interviewed Tyrone, who admitted to them that he burglarized at least six homes in Waterford, along with two in New London and more in other towns, according to court records. He said he was addicted to heroin and needed the money to support his addiction, according to court records.
The next day, New London and Waterford Police officers searched his New London apartment. There, they found more items reported stolen from Waterford and New London homes including 57 savings bonds, along with a bag of heroin, according to court records.
Tyrone is being held in custody and he is scheduled to appear in court on December 13th. The Waterford Police Department added that more arrests could be coming from this string of burglaries.

Climate Change Bill Is About to Be Tested
The Warner-Lieberman measure could move to the Senate floor soon.
Sens. John Warner and Joseph Lieberman certainly have drawn criticism from both the left and the right for their climate change bill, the America's Climate Security Act of 2007. But have the Virginia Republican and Connecticut independent amassed enough lukewarm support from the middle to gain passage?
The answer may be known soon, since Environment and Public Works Chair Barbara Boxer would like to bring the measure to the Senate floor for a vote before the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali on December 3. Boxer views Warner-Lieberman, an economywide, market-based program of capping emissions and allowing businesses leeway to trade pollution permits, as a "strong framework and solid foundation to build upon."
Many environmental groups similarly view the measure as a good starting point, but others blast it as containing "obscene" giveaways to polluters. The American Council for Capital Formation, renowned for its anticorporate-tax lobbying on behalf of the nation's biggest businesses, slams the bill as one that will lead to higher energy prices, lost jobs, and reduced gross domestic product. But some corporations, like the nation's largest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric, say it's a "solid starting point."
Head counters think the bill needs one more vote to pass Boxer's committee, but too far of a lurch left to capture Vermont independent Bernie Sanders's now-unlikely vote may lose moderates who now support it, like Montana Democrat Max Baucus. Republican John Barrasso from the nation's biggest coal state, Wyoming, voted no at the subcommittee, but gaining his vote at the full committee may not be out of the question. He plans to fight for an amendment to make the University of Wyoming the new home of a national center for clean coal research.
Stay tuned to see whether the bill's advocates can hit upon the sweeteners that don't sour the moderate coalition they're trying to build. Boxer's committee plans another hearing next week.

B-movies, those low-budget, low-prestige genre films that were fan favorites for decades, have an enduring place in Hollywood history.
Some of the screen's greatest actors and directors cut their teeth on B-westerns (John Wayne, for example) or B-horror flicks (director Robert Wise among many others. And B-movie serials such as "Flash Gordon" or films such as "Cat People" and "I Walked With a Zombie" from the 1940s were a major influence on such filmmakers as George Lucas and Martin Scorsese.

More money. More National Guard troops at the border. More children deported.
A slew of possible solutions for the immigration crisis at the southern border emerged this week as President Barack Obama visited Texas.
Despite the plentiful demands and proposals, a clear path forward for Obama and Congress remained uncertain in the hyper-partisan environment of an election year.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of children from Central America who illegally entered the United States in recent months still wait in an overwhelmed immigration system, some in overcrowded holding facilities in the Lone Star State and elsewhere.
The White House calls it an "urgent" humanitarian issue involving kids fleeing dire conditions in their home countries, while Republicans complain Obama invited it by halting deportations of some minors to create incentive for more to come.
Now, they say, he wants to exploit it to push for immigration reforms they oppose.
Here are five questions about what happens now:
1) What did Obama's meeting with Texas Gov. Rick Perry accomplish?
A shared helicopter ride rarely garnered so much attention.
Obama and Perry, who hopes to burnish his national image after a disastrous bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, talked on the chopper from Fort Worth to Dallas on Wednesday. The President was in Texas for fund-raising events and talks with local figures on the immigration problem.
Afterward, both sides called the meeting respectful and noted some common ground. But Perry also urged Obama to send 1,000 more National Guard troops to the border area and take other steps to boost security.
In the end, a meeting that almost didn't happen amounted to a public display of engagement with little impact.
Perry initially rejected an airport greeting with Obama, saying he wanted substantive talks. He relented when the President invited him to the meeting with local officials and others as well as the helicopter ride to get there.
2) Will more National Guard troops help?
Not really.
The Obama administration points to previous increases in border security resources, and as the President noted after meeting with Perry, the flood of unaccompanied minors crossing the border -- 57,000 in the past nine months -- has little to do with evasion.
In fact, the youngsters seek out the border patrol to get into U.S. custody, believing it means a high likelihood they'll end up living with relatives or family friends in America.
However, tougher border security has been a Republican immigration demand for years, and the current problem gives them another chance to appeal to their conservative base by demanding the deployment of more forces.
3) What about the $3.7 billion in emergency money Obama seeks?
The funding request announced Tuesday would bolster a range of federal efforts to deal with the immigration influx.
It seeks $1.6 billion to strengthen customs and border efforts as well as crack down on smugglers bringing the youngsters from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador across Mexico to the United States.
Another $300 million would go to help those countries counter claims by the smugglers to desperate parents that U.S. officials won't send their children back.
"While we intend to do the right thing by these children, their parents need to know that this is an incredibly dangerous situation and it is unlikely that their children will be able to stay," Obama said Wednesday.
The request also includes $1.8 billion to provide care for the unaccompanied children while in U.S. custody.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told a Senate committee on Thursday the requested extra money anticipated having to deal with up to 90,000 of the child immigrants this fiscal year, and another 145,000 in fiscal year 2015.

Everyone hopes to never need this article since, if you do, it means there's a good chance that your iPhone (or iPod touch or iPad) has been stolen. If it has been, though, and if you set it up to use Find My iPhone before it was stolen, you may be able to get it back--or at least prevent the thief from getting at your personal data. These instructions will help you use Find My iPhone to locate a lost or stolen iPhone.
Related: Do you need the Find My iPhone app to use Find My iPhone?
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: A minute or less
Here's How:
As noted above, you need to have set up Find My iPhone on your device prior to it getting stolen. If you did, go to https://www.icloud.com/ in your web browser (there's also a Find My iPhone app [link opens iTunes] that you can install on another iOS device to track it. You don't need the app; it's simply another option. These instructions are for using the web-based tool).
Log in using the account you used when setting up Find My iPhone. This is likely your Apple ID/iTunes account.
When you log in, Find My iPhone will immediately begin trying to pinpoint your device. You'll see onscreen messages as it works. If the device is turned off, the map will display its last known location, not necessarily its current location. When it's turned back on, the map will update.
If it finds your device, it will zoom in on the map and show the location of the device using a green dot. When this happens, you can zoom in or out of the map, and view it in map, satellite, and hybrid modes, like in Google Maps.
When your device is found, a window will pop up over the green dot (if it disappears because you clicked elsewhere on the page, just click the green dot again to get it back). Click the window and you'll see the various options you have.
The first option is to have it play a sound. Sending a sound to the device is best when you think you've misplaced your device in the house or office and want help finding it. It can also be helpful if you think you know where a device may be, but someone is denying it. To do this, click Play Sound.
You can also click the Lost Mode button. This will allow you to remotely lock the device's screen and set a passcode (even if you hadn't previously used a passcode) that will prevent the thief from using your device or accessing your personal data.
To do this, click the Lost Mode button and enter the 4-digit lock code you want to use twice. You can then also enter a phone number where the person who has the device can reach you (this is optional; you may not want to share this information if it's been stolen). You can also, optionally, write a message that will be displayed on the device's screen. When you're ready, click Done and your device will now be inaccessible to the thief unless they guess your code.
For even greater security, you can also remotely delete all data from the device. To do this, click the Erase button. There, you'll see a warning (basically, don't do this unless you're absolutely sure you want to). Click the box that says you understand what you're doing and click the Erase button. This will delete all your data, preventing the thief from accessing it.
If you get the device back, you can restore your data from backup.
If you think your device is on the move, click the target icon at the top left corner of the screen to refresh and get a new fix on your device's location.
If you have more than one device configured to use Find My iPhone with this account, you'll see a menu called Devices in the top left corner. Click that to see a list of all devices available to be found.

What You Need:
- An iOS device
- An iCloud account
- To have enabled Find My iPhone before the device was lost
- A web-connected computer or device

The City is now accepting applications for our pilot Neighborhood Grant Program! Earlier this year, our City Council approved a one-time allocation of $25,000 to support various neighborhood improvement projects. The intent is to encourage community members to work together and create tangible projects that enhance aesthetics, improve safety and quality of life, and create community pride in their neighborhood. Winning projects will be granted up to $5,000 to make physical investments in neighborhood medians, parks, neighborhood infrastructure, art and cultural enhancements, lighting, landscaping, and environmental/ public safety projects.
Submit your application as soon as possible but before May 16, 2014. Available funding is limited and the City will start reviewing applications upon receipt. Be sure to read the Neighborhood Grant Guidelines prior to submitting an application. Applications will be considered for projects that are well-conceived, demonstrate commitment from its designers, have high community visibility and lead to modest improvements in their respective neighborhood.
Thank you for your interest in improving our neighborhoods!

Had a chance encounter with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell today. Random, I know.
I bumped into him -- literally -- at the Country Club of Buffalo, where I was covering the final round of the Buffalo District Golf Association Junior Tournament. He turned the corner coming around the starter's hut -- where I was headed to get a cart -- and we ran into each other.
Goodell was here to play in a yearly family golf outing. He was headed to the first tee, so he politely declined an interview. The commissioner is the nephew of Nancy and Myron Hunt of Williamsville (think Hunt Real Estate Corporation).
Chomping on a cigar and dressed in a dark blue golf shirt emblazoned with the NFL logo, he posed with family for a picture on the first tee. Nancy told me he makes it up here every year to play.
Goodell teed off a litt1e before 1:30. His first drive found the trees on the right, so he pulled a mulligan. He put the next one right down the middle. Goodell finished up the round about 6:10. I know because I came back to the course about 5:30, hoping he'd have a change of heart about the interview.
I'd spent the afternoon preparing questions just in case, because chances for a one-on-one interview with the commissioner of the most popular sport in the country don't come along too often. I was hoping persistence would pay off.
I caught up with him on the back patio at CCB and asked him how the round went.
"Not too good," he said. "I haven't had a lot of time."
Unfortunately, that was the only question I got in. Goodell politely declined a second interview request.
"Not today, sir," he said. "We've got the whole family in town."
Maybe another day.

"Until three years ago, the Texas Democratic Party was just brain-dead and prostrate. They were beaten down. During the Bush years, people wouldn't even admit to being Democrats in Texas. Now they're up on their hind legs, feeling confident. It's the Republicans who are sullen and downcast."
-- On the resurgence of the Democratic Party on Texas, July 21, 2008
"Circumstances are certainly improving for the Democrats." Cal Jillson said if Democrats win some county and legislative victories this November, they may become competitive for statewide offices in the coming decade.
— On Texas Democrats' hope that Obama will lift their political fortunes, July 17, 2008
"The odds of that are slim to none (that the next president will influence housing prices)." If the next president can make people more optimistic about the future, "the slow rebuilding of confidence will help to increase home values."
— On whether home foreclosures can be stopped by the next president, July 7, 2008.
"All of the candidates are being generally supportive of Bush in his positions, but none want his imprimatur. That suggests if he were to toss his endorsement out there, they would scatter. No one would dive on it."
— On President Bush not endorsing anyone in the primaries, Jan. 7, 2008.
"[The Texas Restoration Project] is
trying to enjoy the protections of being religious leaders and representing
tax-exempt institutions, but acting as a political interest group. I
think their principal responsibility is transparency, and that is
to be sure people know who they are, where their money is coming
from and how they use it."
— On the voter-registration efforts of Texas preachers' groups, Nov. 3, 2005
"The question of whether (poverty) is sufficient [as a campaign
issue] is answered with the question ... 'When
is the last time you saw John Edwards on the evening news?' I
think the answer is, 'It's been awhile."'
— On Edwards' possible 2008 presidential ambitions, Oct. 9, 2005
"This is the biggest potential shake-up in Texas politics. When
a very senior position, particularly a Senate seat, opens up, every
other politician statewide sees an opportunity to move up, and that's
what is happening here."
— On a possible Kay Bailey Hutchison gubernatorial run, May 25, 2005
"Governor Perry and his people are just not as good as Bush
and Rove. Governor Perry knows the steps,
but he's got no rhythm."
— On Rick Perry's re-election strategy, June 10, 2005
"McCain is a Republican nominee who has to appeal to the base but he is much queasier on social issues with the exception of abortion. He is much less confrontational on things like gay marriage."
— On the issue of gay marriage, June 19, 2008.
Cindy (McCain) falls under the "classic mould" and has her own version of the "Nancy Reagan stare," the adoring gaze that the former first lady perfected. "If you look at Michelle Obama, it appears that throughout their married life, she and her husband have been very much equals."
— On the wives of the presidential candidates, June 15, 2008.
"She (Hillary Rodham Clinton) certainly faces an Alamo moment in Texas and Ohio. This was a significant win for Obama, because it was 17 points and he cut into her base. If that continues in Ohio and Texas, she will be done."
— On Clinton's need to do well in Texas, Feb. 20, 2008.
"Even if [Bush] did show up [for jury duty], almost certainly
he -- like
senators and other high-profile people -- would
be struck during voir dire [the
process by which attorneys determine whether prospective jurors can
weigh the evidence objectively]. ...From
all we know about Bush, once he gets an opinion about something,
it's there for good. There's no changing it."
— On George W. Bush's rescheduling of his Texas jury service, Jan. 9, 2006
"His legacy as a two-term president of the United States hinges
on bringing an acceptable stability – no
one's talking Jeffersonian democracy – but
an acceptable stability in Iraq. He
really can't back off that, no matter what his Republican members
of Congress think they need."
— On the Bush Administration's defense of the Iraq War, Nov. 17, 2005
"This is a vastly different deal for a person who left her
job as a reporter in Fort Worth to go into working with George W.
Bush and crafting his message. Here, you're
asking for Karen Hughes's ear to be tuned to the European, Middle
Eastern, African, and Asian publics. Nothing suggests to me that
she has the background to know how to shape the message with nearly
the facility she had in tuning [Bush's] message for the American
— On improving America's image abroad, March 16, 2005
Clinton is "very clearly the establishment candidate ... and will not be able to shed the label of the establishment candidate."
— On Clinton's attempt to cast herself as the underdog in the race against Obama, Feb. 10, 2008.
"I think Texans are somewhat underinvested in this campaign because theres not a Texan on the ballot, or, for Republicans, a Republican they are not very excited about. Texans have been ambivalent through the campaign. . . . Republicans will have to work hard to match the enthusiasm on the Democrats side."
— On Texans' financial support for the Presidential campaigns, July 28, 2008.
"For major-league skullduggery, you always have a cost, but simply playing politics and holding information back? Voters don't change their mind on unresolved issues." . . . "A lot of Americans understand how devastating cancer can be (for McCain). If cancer concerns became more prominent, that could do him a lot of damage."
— On candidates withholding personal information, March 26, 2008.
"There's a great deal of concern out there in the public, particularly among the middle class and working class, that things are getting tighter. Everybody wants to get on board quickly and get money into the hands of people so they can get credit for it."
— On the political implications of the economic stimulus package, Feb. 4, 2008.
council just broke and ran over the last couple of weeks, and that
led voters to say, 'If you're not confident in this, neither are
we.' The council's erratic behavior
has engendered doubt in Dallas voters."
— On the defeat of Dallas' strong-mayor initiative, Nov. 9, 2005
"DeLay wants to treat it as a political fight rather than a
legal inquiry."
— On Tom DeLay's Texas indictments, Oct. 18, 2005
''That sort
of limited the impact in Texas politics to the environmental. It
affects the way people think about the Republicans' practice of
politics in Texas. If the speaker or sitting members had been indicted,
that would have produced a much stronger backlash against Republicans.''
— On the lack of charges against Texas state political figures and the impact of the Tom DeLay scandal, Oct. 2, 2005
will] embolden those
who are baying at his heels in Washington. These
are DeLay's organizations. It is
not possible from a political perspective – even
if it is from a legal perspective – to separate DeLay from this."
— On a Texas judge's ruling that Tom DeLay's fundraising operation received illegal campaign contributions, May 27, 2005
"[Sam] Brownback is trying to lock
up the social conservative wing of the party,
so he felt that he needed to come out strong on this one."
— On Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination, Oct. 6, 2005
"If [Bush] is
going to go out on the campaign trail, which he clearly wants to
do, he has to argue that the war, although messier than expected,
is going to be a success in the long term. His only alternative is
lock himself in the White House and not come out. He can't do that.
He's got three years to go."
— On the 2006 mid-term elections, Dec. 10, 2005
"[Bush Administration officials]
are very loath to reconsider actions in the wake of the Sept. 11
attacks. The
message is, the President never approved of torture, but the question
is, did you play with the definition so that almost nothing qualified
as torture?"
— On U.S. interrogation practices concerning non-U.S. citizens, Jan. 26, 2005
"Roberts can't be blocked. This is a mainstream, pro-business
conservative, not a social jihad warrior. A filibuster just wouldn't
resonate with the public."
— On John Roberts' Supreme Court confirmation hearings, July 21, 2005
"The Bush administration is in significant difficulty, and the leading
figures in both the House and the Senate are in significant difficulty. All
of these difficulties are going to go on. ...People
have real reservations about the Republicans, but they aren't clear
what the Democrats stand for. There is
a widely perceived general disarray in the Democratic Party. It's
too early yet for a leader to emerge."
— On the GOP's White House woes, Oct. 30, 2005
And the winner is...
...President Bush? Well, yes, of course he won that election three months ago, but a common theme in the news coverage of the Iraqi election is that it is a victory for the American president. "Analysts: Bush Could Be Big Winner of Iraq Election" reads the headline of a Reuters dispatch:
President Bush, who has seen Iraq erupt in almost daily violence in recent months, could emerge as a big victor of Iraqi elections that could shore up his position both at home and abroad, analysts said on Monday.
"In the short term, this is very good for an administration just beginning its second term," said Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
"[Texas] is still Bush country. Republicans
in Texas have nowhere to go. They have to support the president and
the Texas administration in Washington. These are their guys, their
policies taken to the national level."
— On Texas senators' support of the Bush Administration, Oct. 25, 2005
"[Texans] sometimes value people who
will get in the way of government and slow it down to question, to
prod and sometimes steer for the ditch rather than down the center
lane. [Paul] doesn't work the mechanism
and play the game. He is the guy sticking
the broom in the spokes. There are enough people in his district, the
old and the new, who know who Ron Paul is in the context of American
politics and think that's fine."
— On libertarian-leaning Texas Republican Ron Paul, May 21, 2005
"It's hard to take Tom DeLay at his word that he has a nonpolitical
reason for doing things. All of us who watch
Tom DeLay closely know that Tom DeLay is always looking to push the
issues that have the sharpest angles for his Republican base."
— On the Congressional response to the Terri Schiavo case, March 22, 2005
Having started this ball rolling, he needs to get something
accomplished. If not, there will be more blood in the water that attracts
[Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton] Strayhorn and a possible re-election
challenge in 2006.
— On Texas Gov. Rick Perrys legislative record, May 17, 2004
The choice of Boston is a choice to meet in the heartland of
the Democratic Party.
— On the future of the Democratic Party, Nov. 9, 2003
Nader is not a person people look to govern but one to articulate
the issues.
— On the Nader 2000 campaign, Oct. 24, 2000
This is a tortoise-and-hare race, with Ron Kirk being the hare,
spurting out, sometimes catching, becoming even, which in Texas, was
really astounding, much better than he was thought to do.
— On the Texas Governors race and the Democratic challenger, Oct. 24, 2002
