NORTHFIELD — The United South Central girls cross country squad didn't qualify for the Class A state meet as a team on Saturday, but the Rebels did fine just the same.
The two USC entrants both turned in All-State performances on the course at St. Olaf College. Junior Emily Mantor was the top area finisher with a fourth-place time of 14:39.5 while senior Hannah Goemann was 24th in 15:27.3.
Mantor, who was 25th a year ago, shaved about 50 seconds off last season's time.
"It was what I expected," she said of the race. "I tried to stay with the lead runners as best I could. I used the downhills to try to catch people when I could."
Goemann, who had to miss last spring's track season with a torn ACL, was happy to be competing again.
"I knew what to expect, I've been here before," said Goemann, who qualified individually as a freshman and a sophomore and with the team last year. "After last spring I was just happy to be up here running."
Belle Plaine sophomore Janessa Mueleners dropped a place from last year's meet but ran six seconds faster. She finished 14th in 15:12.9. Also competing as individuals Saturday where Waterville-Elysian-Morristown/
Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton freshman Tierney Winter (39th, 15:37.1), Loyola/Cleveland seventh-grader Kyla Haas (44th, 15:39.3), St. James sophomore Ashley Lahti (68th, 15:51.3), Blue Earth Area freshman Tyler Grandgenett (87th, 16:05.8) and St. Peter sophomore Abby Borgmeier (115th, 16:28).
For Haas, it was her inaugural state meet after joining the Crusaders varsity for the first time this season.
"I'm pretty happy," she said. "I was really nervous at the starting line but that went away right away."
The Waseca girls competed as a team and came through with a fourth-place finish, scoring 157 points. Esko was first (115), Annandale was second (150) and Minnehaha Academy was third (157).
Junior Sadie Klug was the Bluejays' top finisher with a 26th-place time of 15:28.2. Teammate Sally O'Brien, a sophomore was right behind in 27th place (15:29.7).
"I didn't do as well as I wanted to," Klug said. "I was hoping to finish higher. I did pass one girl coming up the hill and that helps the team every time you pass somebody."
Also placing for Waseca were eighth-grader Kourtney Kulseth (70th, 15:54.7), freshman Allison Breck (90th, 16:06.2), senior Mackenzie Burke (127th, 16:36.1), junior Meredith Thomez (135th, 16:46.6) and seventh-grader Maya Aberle (163rd, 17:59.6).
"We knew those second, third and fourth spots were going to be close," Waseca coach Gary Meurer said. "All in all, it was a pretty good day for us."

Modesto Junior College football players galloped to the line of scrimmage like horses smelling the barn.
The huddle? A thing of the past. Wristbands? Quarterback TeeJay Gordon wears one just for looks. How fast? The Pirates often are ready for the snap before the officials.
"I'm just waiting for the referee to blow his whistle," Gordon said. "And then we go."
And so the Pirates went in their home opener Saturday night. Before the teams trudged to the halftime locker room, MJC ran off 49 plays from scrimmage and scored touchdowns on five of seven possessions.
The blitz resulted in a 34-0 lead and, after 400 total rushing yards, an eventual 61-28 pasting of Hartnell of Salinas. More than 75 black and white skull-and-crossbones flags decorated MJC Stadium on homecoming night while the Pirates (2-0) unveiled their faster-than-ever attack for about 2,000.
"This is the way we practice," slotback Ricky Fuentes said. "You just wear the defense down little by little. I love this offense."
Modesto sprinted to the line, then punished the Panthers inside the tackles with Anthony Cota (129 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns, James Sams (65 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns) and Marcus Hernandez (28 yards, 2 touchdowns).
Conversely, Fuentes kept Hartnell honest horizontally. The sophomore needed only 12 carries for his 140 yards on reverses and fly-sweeps that constantly out-flanked the defense.
Yet Fuentes failed to find the end zone until the fourth quarter. He took a different route, catching a short punt on the dead run and racing to his right 35 yards for MJC's ninth and final touchdown. His leap into the end zone, just inside the pylon, demonstrated the Pirates' overall dominance.
"I was working hard tonight," Fuentes said. "I wanted a TD."
Modesto, already one of California's busiest offenses the last two years, feels it must accelerate to keep pace in the Valley Conference. The Pirates opened 2012 with three convincing wins before slumping to 4-6, so there were many smiles but no gloating post-game.
"We made some positive strides tonight," head coach Sam Young said. "Finding the right combinations of personnel and going to our strengths will be our next steps."
Hartnell (1-1), which won its season opener last week for only the second time in the last 17 years, tried to extend possessions early in the game via fourth-down gambles. Giving up the ball meant trouble, the Panthers figured.
They were right. Two early turnovers mobilized the Pirates.
Cota, a freshman armed with speed and power, burst 20 yards for Modesto's first touchdown. After a fumble recovery by Joshua Reed like Cota, a Sierra High graduate the Pirates again cashed in on a 4-yard TD crash by Sams.
Gordon, stronger this season as a sophomore, orchestrated the Modesto offense without a turnover. He passed only 11 times for 101 yards, including a 29-yard TD catch-and-run to Chris Sousa, and also rushed 5 yards for MJC's third score.
"Their corners had a good reputation, so we just pounded the ball," Gordon said. "Our running backs are good and they're healthy."
Defensively, Modesto struggled at times to tackle Deandre Mann, Hartnell's solid tailback (75 rushing yards, 54 yards in receptions). It also labored against backup quarterback Michael Turner, who passed for 214 yards and three touchdowns.
Special teams flourished, however, during the game's competitive phase. Safety Stephen Thayer sprinted down the field and twice nailed the punt returner as the ball arrived.
"That is my favorite thing," the MJC track star said. "I get a free shot to hit the guy at full speed. When I see his eyes get large, I know the ball is close."
Young was uncertain if his team is better than last year's 2-0 team after two weeks. At this point, all can agree on this: At MJC this year, the faster the better.

Indonesia in Depth—Sumatra, Java, Bali (AEID)
Get ready to hit the ground running in this 28-day whirlwind tour of Indonesia's top sights. We mean that literally, too – you'll stay active as you hike and explore Berastagi, Sipirok, Tangkahan, Bukit Lawang and more. Recharge with street food crawls and coffee plantation tours, and take the time to get up close and personal with orangutans and elephants. Experiencing it all with a group of like-minded travellers is the best way to get the most out of this dynamic country.
Highlights: Discover Javanese culture, encounter orangutans up close and personal, trek in the shadow of Mt Bromo, travel through beautiful rice terraces, chill out on Lake Samosir.
Indonesia Encompassed (AEIE)
Indonesia is a busy place, and not just because it's one of the most densely-populated places on Earth. Blessed with rich jungles, imposing volcanoes and mile upon mile of gorgeous beachfront, it's not surprising that 135 million people live here full-time. On this 29-day trip, you'll get to experience what they live every day – Bandung, which feels more European than some cities in Europe; Yogyakarta's volcanic landscapes; Bali's pristine beaches; and far more than we can possibly get into here. Need more details? Come find 'em. Don't worry, we'll wait...
Highlights: Meet the orangutans in Sumatra, visit the tobacco plantations of Tetebatu in Lombok, snorkel vibrant reefs and dig your feet into white sand, explore Hindu temples in Bali and Buddhist sanctuaries in Java, climb volcanoes, learn where famous Sumatra coffee comes from, live with the locals in a traditional village
Indonesia Java, Bali & Lombok (AEJL)
Yeah, we've seen you perusing the Bali, Lombok and Java trips and thinking, "Why don't they just put all three of them together?" Here you go: All the natural splendour, bustling cities, remote villages and exotic wildlife of Indonesia's most popular territories in one convenient, 22-day bundle. Explore the volcanoes of Yogyakarta, endless rainforests, the rugged and untouched beauty of Lombok, bustling Jakarta and blissful Sanur's white-sand beaches. The adventure of a lifetime is out there. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask.
Highlights: Visit the tobacco plantations of Tetebatu in Lombok, snorkel vibrant reefs and dig your feet into white sand, explore Hindu temples in Bali and Buddhist sanctuaries in Java, lay eyes on active volcanoes
Best of Java (AEJV)
With a population of 135 million crammed into just under 140,000 sq. kilometres, you'd think there'd be no room on Java left for adventuring. Densely populated as it is, this amazing swath of Indonesia has loads of unexplored corners just waiting for travellers looking for something a little different. From Jakarta, you'll venture to the curiously European-like city of Bandung (the "Paris of Java") en route to Yogyakarta, home to the island's monstrous volcanoes. Later, you'll spend two days in Dutch colonial Batu before winding up on the gorgeous Balinese beaches of Sanur. (Hey, if you can't beat the crowd, join it!)
Highlights: Explore vibrant Jakarta, take the train through terraced rice fields, visit a Buddhist sanctuary, meet the locals and learn the Javanese way of life

Sensing an extension in the NHL work stoppage, Sabres defenseman Mike Weber has signed with Lorenskog of Norway's elite league, according to RB.no.
Weber is scheduled to arrive in Norway on Saturday, according to a Google translation of the report, and is expected to play his first game Thursday.
"He wanted to wait to sign awhile, but now it looks like the lockout is prolonged," Lorenskog sports director Atle Olsen told Rome Blad, according to the translation.
Weber will be one of seven Sabres playing overseas, joining Christian Ehrhoff and Alexander Sulzer (Germany), Tyler Myers and Tyler Ennis (Switzerland), Andrej Sekera (Slovakia) and Jhonas Enroth (Sweden). Thomas Vanek recently returned after a month in Austria, though he said he might return if the lockout continued.
Negotiations took a turn for the worse Thursday.

SHENANDOAH, Texas, July 31. THE first complete day of preliminary and championship swimming took place at the Speedo Champions Series stop being held in Shenandoah, Texas this week.
The Woodlands' Kelsey Vetalice kicked off the first full night of swims in a big way with a 57.01 to win the women's 100-meter free. That swim cut nearly a second off the 16-year-old's personal best of 57.89 from a month ago. FCST's Madeline Locus finished second in 57.54, while FAST's Alexandra Lakota placed third in 58.49.
Magnolia's Cannon Clifton followed with a 50.97 to win the men's 100-meter freestyle finale, and break 51 seconds for the first time. His previous top effort had been a 51.09 from a year ago. BTA's Alexander Hancock finished second in 51.15, while Nicolai Hansen picked up third in 51.56.
Frisco 14-year-old Rachel Ramey turned in a 2:38.85 to win the women's 200-meter breaststroke, while Christina Jonsson (2:39.66) and Bridget Pacilio (2:41.60) comprised the rest of the podium in the event.
TWST's Alton Sorensen crushed his personal best in the men's 200-meter breast with a 2:21.10 for the win. His top time coming into today was a 2:23.12 from way back in 2008, so that's a big time barrier broken. Teammate Jonathan Tybur placed second in 2:22.16, while Rostyslav Fedyna earned third in 2:23.45.
Dallas Mustang 16-year-old Rileigh Thornton topped the women's 200-meter backstroke in 2:21.11, downing her lifetime best of 2:22.50 by a large margin. Melanie McDonough (2:22.14) and Taylor Davidson (2:22.46) rounded out the podium in the finale.
TCU's Cooper Robinson dominated the men's 200-meter backstroke event in 2:02.74. That cut a full second off his lifetime best from February 2012. Thomas Norman placed more than three seconds back in second with a 2:06.10, while William Crowe snared third in 2:06.85.
TWST's Dorothy Halmy, 15, cut more than two seconds off her lifetime best in the women's 200-meter fly with a 2:17.55. That swim demolished her previous top time of 2:19.86 from August 2012. Tiffany Futscher took second in 2:18.63, while Chelsie Miller placed third in 2:18.86.
El Paso's David Ramirez took home the men's 200-meter fly title in 2:05.04, while Donald Walker (2:06.40) and Antoine Marc (2:06.63) wrapped up the top three in the finale to close out night two.
During the first night of distance freestyle timed finals competition, Chelsie Miller took home the women's 800-meter free title in 9:02.83, while Colleen Konetzke placed second in 9:06.56. Jessie Woolley-Macmath snagged third in 9:06.89.
Meanwhile, Colin Murphy won in front of a hometown crowd as The Woodlands' swimmer posted an 8:26.05 in the men's 800-meter free. Teammate Rhorer Legendre (8:29.31) and Connor Hennessy (8:34.07) rounded out the podium in that finale.

Exchequer: King's Remembrancer: Depositions taken by Commission
This series contains surviving depositions relating to cases heard on the King's Remembrancer's side of the Exchequer, taken by commissioners appointed by the Court of Exchequer, with associated documents. Local commissioners were appointed only when the witness to be examined lived outside a ten mile radius of London. The series includes both equity and revenue cases.
Depositions, or statements of witnesses, were answers to a pre-agreed set of questions known as interrogatories. The taking of these proofs followed the initial proceedings of the case in which the plaintiff and defendant set out the matter in dispute by the bill and answer process.
Disputes covered a wide range of topics: title, tithe and testamentary disputes; manorial customs and disputes over common lands; mining and minerals; commercial ventures both on land and at sea, including fraudulent insurance claims; and a wide spectrum of revenue matters of direct interest to the Crown, including customs evasion and maladministration by Crown officials.
Documents in this series include commissions, by which individuals were empowered to take evidence on oath from deponents. From 1726 commissioners themselves swore oaths of secrecy and impartiality. Certificates on how they had fulfilled the terms of their commission were sometimes also returned, which might highlight the degree of intimidation or obstruction that one or other party to the case imposed. Interrogatories were prepared in advance and agreed by the court. Finally, depositions record the name, residence, age and occupation of the deponent, as well as their evidence. The information given may reveal aspects of a life in service, of attitudes to women, of the effects of marital dispute or immoral living, of foreign travel, and of the effects of war. Returns occasionally include a map. Depositions may be of considerable value to the genealogist and local historian.
Most disputes in this series arose within England and Wales, but some cases also relate to Ireland, Europe, and the Americas.
Original finding aids are in E 501
The commission, interrogatories and depositions in each suit are joined together on a string and the resulting file has been labelled with the county, regnal year and law term in which the depositions were returned to the court. The individual suit files within each law term are then numbered from 1 onwards. The files are not necessarily complete.

Read the full excerpt
Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Janet Evanovich's mystery novel Seven Up. Semiretired mob guy Eddie DeCooch is caught trafficking contraband cigarettes through Trenton, New Jersey. When DeCooch fails to show for a court appearance, bond enforcement agent Stephanie Plum is assigned the task of finding him and dragging his decrepit ass back to jail. Not such an easy job, it turns out, since DeCooch has learned a lot of tricks over the years and isn't afraid to use his gun.
Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including One for the Money and Sizzling Sixteen, and the Diesel & Tucker series, including Wicked Appetite. Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn't have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, "When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency." But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After 12 romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet's favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles. She and her husband live in New Hampshire, in house with a view of the Connecticut River Valley.

Suffolk County Republicans on Wednesday chose Angie Carpenter as their candidate for Suffolk County executive, setting the stage for a showdown between the Suffolk treasurer and the, in November.
Both vie for the county's highest elected office, a position held by Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy - - for eight years.
While Bellone had screened with the County Conservative Party, Conservative Chairman Ed Walsh was on stage at the event with GOP Chairman John Jay LaValle to welcome Carpenter.
More than one speaker on Wednesday night – including Carpenter – touted the strength they are hoping a Republican-Conservative bloc could hold over county Democrats.
"When we partner with the Conservative Party, we are over-the-top invincible," said Carpenter, a former county legislator, to the crowd of roughly 300 at the Hauppauge Sheraton. "There is not going to be any on-the-job training here. Because my experience in the legislature taught me one branch of government can't do it alone."
A long-time West Islip resident, Carpenter has spent nearly 20 years serving in county government: 13 years in the legislature and the past six years as treasurer.
LaValle and Walsh both said Carpenter's nomination was not set in stone until Wednesday.
"We've been weighing the whole process out. It just all came together today," said Walsh. "The process was a little longer than I would have liked it to be. In a perfect world, it would have been quicker. But you sometimes can't control everything."
Randy Altschuler, a businessman and last year's congressional candidate in the first congressional district, recently withdrew his name from the nomination process, saying he would for his congressional seat. Altschuler narrowly lost his first campaign against Bishop in the 2010 election.
Leaving Carpenter and Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick, R-St. James, as the only two remaining Republicans who had screened for the county exec seat, the nod was given to Carpenter. Fitzpatrick said he drove down from Albany after receiving the call to nominate her at Wednesday's convention.
"We have representatives on the federal level, state level, county level, and town level," said LaValle following the convention on Wednesday. "We have to spread out the talent. I'm fortunate to be the chairman of a party with plenty of talent."
Should Carpenter win the county executive race, she would be the first female county executive in the history of Suffolk County.
The following candidates were nominated for their respective legislative district races:
- Ed Romaine
- Cornelius Kelly
- Susan Sineo
- Thomas Muratore
- No candidate
- Karen Wilutis
- John Giannott
- Anthony C. Musumeci
- No candidate
- Tom Cilmi
- Thomas Barraga
- John M. Kennedy, Jr.
- Lynne Nowick

Inspired by the success of a statewide consortium focused on construction training, the State University of New York (SUNY) reached out to several colleges to see which ones were interested in forming a clean energy consortium. SUNY asked Alfred State College to take the lead based on its grant experience and training programs in photovoltaic and small wind technology.
Alfred State College, the Association of Builders and Contractors (ABC) and six community college partners that include Tompkins Cortland, Broome, Dutchess, Mohawk Valley, Sullivan and Westchester banded together to orm SUNYgreensNY, which offers a single statewide source for photovoltaic, solar thermal, geothermal and wind energy technology training. NYSERDA awarded the consortium a grant in 2008 to help its members develop clean energy training modules and acquire laboratory equipment at each of the seven locations.
Today, the consortium helps students, such as recent Alfred State College alum Sean Kelley, sharpen their skills by integrating renewable energy modules into existing courses of study. As a student in the electrical construction and maintenance electrician program, Sean was able to combine a strong foundation in electrical training with renewable technology training.
Since earning his two-year degree, Sean has participated in the installation of two different photovoltaic systems at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., earned certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Professionals (NABCEP) and has worked on several renewable energy projects at Alfred State College. As a NYSERDA-approved PV installer, Sean now runs his own company designing and installing residential solar electric systems.

By BRAD KELLAR
Herald-Banner Staff
The Greenville City Council voted Tuesday to hire a law firm to represent the city in negotiations with L-3 Communications Integrated Systems concerning the defense contractor's lease of property at Majors Field Municipal Airport.
The Council was split, however, over whether to bring in a new legal team to handle the negotiations, or to stick with the attorneys who had been dealing with the company for the past two years during the protracted litigation between the two sides, a firm which had already drawn up a proposed lease agreement for consideration.
And a former mayor asked the Council what the hurry was in making a decision.
The Council was scheduled to vote to grant a professional services agreement with Taylor Olson Adkins Sralla Elam for legal matters with respect to the airport lease.
The airport covers approximately 1,500 acres. L-3 leases much of the airport property from the City of Greenville, with the original lease agreement reached in 1977. The lease agreement is set to expire in 2017.
City Attorney Daniel Ray said he had reviewed the qualifications of more than 10 firms, looking for those who had extensive legal experience in municipal law, ad valorem taxes and airport lease agreements. He presented the four finalists to the Council's L-3 committee, which chose to proceed with Taylor Olson, who works with leases at DFW Airport and Alliance Airport.
"They have done multiple leases at both those airports," Ray said.
The law firm proposed handling the negotiations at a rate of $200 per hour for attorney work, $100 per hour in paralegal work and $20 per hour for work performed by administrative assistants, which Ray said was "far, far less" than any of the other firms he looked at.
But Council member Velma Del Bosque-Hobdy wanted to know why the Jackson Walker law firm, who had represented the city concerning two lawsuits filed by L-3 concerning Majors Field and who as of last summer had prepared a draft lease agreement proposal, was not being considered.
"If we went with another attorney, would they reinvent the wheel," she asked.
"That's one of the documents that we'd be working from," Ray said, although he explained preparing the actual lease agreement would be much more complicated process. Ray said Jackson Walker was offering to do the job at $590 per hour.
"That in the long term is going to save the city a lot of money," Ray said.
But Council member Dan Perkins also wondered if Jackson Walker should have been considered, noting how the legal expert they had brought on to handle the lease agreement was the same expert L-3 was looking to recruit for their side of the negotiations.
Mayor Steve Reid said the cost was not the only factor involved, noting Taylor Olson was a recognized leader in the field.
"We're not going to Walmart to get an attorney," Reid said.
Still, Perkins noted the lease is one which will impact generations of local residents and recalled how the city had already paid Jackson Walker $33,500 just to prepare the draft proposed agreement.
"I don't understand why we are not looking at Jackson Walker when you look at their quality reputation and what they have already done for us," Perkins said.
But Ray pointed out that no negotiations have taken place so far, which will be bulk of Taylor Olson's responsibilities.
"The majority of that will be doing the negotiations with the attorneys at L-3," Ray said.
Former Mayor Jim Morris addressed the Council, asking what had happened to attorney Bob Scott, who was retained by the Council as a special counsel to represent the City of Greenville on all matters relating to L-3 Communications Integrated Systems.
"I think he's quite capable of handling the situation locally," Morris said, also inquiring as to why the decision had to be made Tuesday.
"Is there a reason for addressing this lease issue now," Morris asked. "The current lease has four more years to go."
Ray said that Scott would be involved with the process, "he just won't be billing for it."
Perkins agreed that the city needed someone with extensive experience in dealing with airport leases to handle the negotiations, in making a motion to table consideration of the vote until after the Council meets with representatives from Jackson Walker.
But Council member Dr. Joseph Perks said time was of the essence in hiring legal representation.
"L-3 has to make their plans for the future, which is why they want to get this settled as soon as possible," Perks said.
The motion to table the vote failed on a 4-2 vote, with Perkins and Del Bosque-Hobdy voting in favor.
A separate motion to approve the contract with Taylor Olson passed on a 4-2 vote, with Perkins and Del Bosque-Hobdy voting against.

Northwest Spay & Neuter Center, formerly known as Coalition: HUMAnE Spay & Neuter Clinic, has moved to a new location in Tacoma.
The new clinic site, which opened in January, triples the non-profit's space and allows the staff to perform up to 30,000 surgeries annually.
The organization performs surgery on companion cats, dogs, and rabbits, as well as feral/free-roaming cats.
With more than 11,000 surgeries completed in 2012 alone, Northwest Spay & Neuter Center has quickly become recognized as the leading high-volume, high-quality spay and neuter provider in the region, and a powerful force working to end pet overpopulation in Washington State.
Animals altered at Northwest Spay & Neuter Center can receive vaccines, microchips and parasite treatment at the time of surgery- all at costs well below standard veterinary prices, according to its press release.
Individuals with limited income can also take advantage of further subsidized surgery specials run throughout the year and assistance programs run through partner organizations.
The clinic estimates that as a result of the services it offers, the births of more than 365,000 animals have been prevented since it opened its doors in 2008.
Northwest Spay & Neuter Center is credited with reducing the killing rates of healthy, adoptable animals in Pierce County by 40 percent in that time.
While many of the organization's clients are local, the clinic have altered animals from 24 counties in Washington, and even had clients bring their pets from out of state.
The new building will accommodate plans to expand services to even more pet owners. The clinic plans to start a transportation program in 2013, reaching out to individuals in rural Pierce County and surrounding counties who need assistance bringing their animals to the clinic.
The clinic is located at 6401 Pacific Ave. in Tacoma.

Solutions Series, Part 5: Taking Action
In my last essay, I talked about an updated vision of environmental changemaking, one that recognizes that many businesses are potential allies in the transformation to a responsible sustainable economy. Not all businesses, mind you, but a good number really do want clean energy, safe products, and decently paid workers. This time, we'll talk about what we can all do to scale up these kinds of solutions, whether we work within a business or we use its products and services.
When I talk to all kinds of people working to make today's companies more sustainable, often they're focused on getting the public to change their shopping habits. If people refuse to buy toxic junk, the thinking goes, companies won't make it anymore. The theory here is that consumers control the manufacturers and we can change business-as-usual just by shopping differently because companies are just making what people demand.

I have worn Giro helmets for 20 years and have always been very satisfied with their helmets. Bought this for my daugter as her Giro infant helmet was 5 years old. She loves the look and can get it on and off herself quite well. Fortunately have had not opportunity to see how well it protects and hope that continues.

Scheduling an Appointment for Therapy To schedule an appointment, call (608) 417-6173. Our hours of service are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Limited appointments are available after 4:30 p.m. for families with unique needs. If you are unable to attend please give us 24 hours notice. A physician's referral is required for most services.
A feeding or swallowing assessment typically begins with a clinic appointment with a speech-language therapist. During this session, the therapist reviews the child's medical, developmental and feeding histories with the parent. An oral exam and feeding observation may be conducted. Depending on the nature of the feeding problem, the therapist may suggest techniques to use at home, therapy or further testing.
If the child's doctor prescribes a more detailed swallow assessment a Modified Barium Swallow Test will be performed. Modified Barium Swallow Studies are recommended for infants or children in order to identify any swallowing problems and to rule out aspiration (when food or liquids enter the airway instead of the esophagus, the part of the throat that leads to the stomach).
During a Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBSS), moving X-rays are used to take pictures of a child's swallow. An MBSS helps the therapist to determine which foods a child can swallow safely.

Gougères and Canapés
with a hunk of aged Laguiole from the cheese plate
These are beautiful!
Yumm!You make it sound so easy.
And a delicious habit! As a savory snack fiend, your canapés are making me drool. Bravo!
Lucy, when is the best time to freeze them, before they are baked,partially baked or afterwards, also do you add the filling before freezing or after thawing and before baking?
Wonderful to have these on hand.Haven't made croissant dough in a while!
Lucy, when do you freze them? before they are baked, do you partially bake and freeze or after they are fully baked?
I haven't made croissants in a while,must get back to it. I am waiting for a friend to come and visit and we will make brioche together. Our local French bakery makes an orange scented one dusted with coarse sugar that is heavanly,so would really like to try one like that. Would LOVE to take lessons with you!!
Dear Wendy,
The time to freeze is just after filling them, and before baking. Then you can bake from frozen. Do an egg wash on the frozen canapes or gougeres before putting them in the oven.
That brioche does sound heavenly. Maybe one day we could do some lessons together.

The Buffalo Sabres entered the 2012 NHL Draft with four of the top 50 picks for the first time since 1998. Sabres brass knew they needed to get bigger and add more depth up the middle and addressed that by selecting five centers, including two in the first round. General Manager Darcy Regier had a clear plan in this draft, which was executed to near perfection.
Mikhail Grigorenko, C Quebec Remparts (QMJHL)
1st round, 12th overall
Height: 6'3 Weight: 200 lbs
Flying in the face of the recent practice of staying away from Russian players, Darcy Regier and company opted to make the high risk/reward selection of Mikhail Grigorenko at 12th overall. The Sabres had not picked a Russian in the first round since the forgettable selection of Artem Kryukov in the 2000 draft.

FORT GIBSON – The fastpitch battle between Class 4A No. 2 Fort Gibson (28-5) and Class 3A No. 1 Sequoyah (28-6) on Monday in Fort Gibson was a pitcher's duel with plenty of emotion in both dugouts.
The team that makes the least mistakes in that kind of game usually comes out on top and that was the Lady Indians as two Lady Tiger miscues in the top of the seventh inning pushed Sequoyah to a 2-1 victory.
"That is why we schedule them," said Sequoyah coach Jeff Turtle. "We play them and Red Oak to get this kind of competition before districts."
Fort Gibson's Madison Higley and Sequoyah's Kati Phillips battled each other in the circle and the two teams were scoreless going into the fifth inning. Through four innings, Phillips (28-6) allowed only two three base runners, two courtesy of walks and one on an error while, Higley (28-5) allowed six runners to reach base, a two-out single in the first, a walk and single in the second inning, two singles in the third, and a walk in the fourth, but none of the runners got past second base.
On Senior Night, the Lady Tigers' lone senior Brooke Benham got Fort Gibson on the board first in the bottom of the fifth inning when she scored on a single to centerfield by Emilee Rigsby after reaching on a single and moving to second on a sacrifice by Sage Stout.
That looked like the only run Fort Gibson would need as Higley retired the Lady Indians in order in the sixth inning and looked to be on the way to her 29th victory of the year.
However, Sequoyah took advantage of the Fort Gibson miscues and plated two runs in the top of the seventh. Syndi Smith led off the inning with a grounder between first and second that bounced off the glove of Miranda Cherry and skirted far enough away for Smith to reach base.
Harvey, batting in the seventh spot, put down a sacrifice bunt, but in an attempt to get Smith at second, Higley's throw was wide to the left and ended up in centerfield. Following a groundout by Merissa Smith, pinch hitter Taylor Thompson plated both Smith and Harvey with a double to give the Lady Indians the lead.
"I was just praying to God," Thompson said, "to calm me down and let me get a hit."
Fort Gibson had one last chance in the bottom of the seventh when Higley, making her first plate appearance of the day, singled to give Fort Gibson a chance. A sacrifice by Benham moved Higley to second but that is where she would stay as a groundout by Stout and a liner to third by Mackenzie Williams sealed the game for Sequoyah.
Fort Gibson coach Jaime Snyder agreed with Turtle as to why scheduling a game like this is beneficial to a team.
"You can't simulate that pressure in practice," said Snyder. "To experience a close game is good for us. Even though we got beat, we still learn from it and when we get to regionals, we know we've been in pressure situations."
Benham had mixed emotions after her final home game.
"I would say it is bittersweet being my last regular season game but I'm ready to start the next chapter in my life," she said. "Scoring the run was nice, but it is a team sport and I just did what I could for the team"
Higley went the distance for Fort Gibson, allowing two unearned runs, five hits, two walks and nine strikeouts. Phillips picked up the win, allowing one run on three hits, three walks and three strikeouts. Meagan Towie was 2-for-4 at the plate for Sequoyah and Thompson was 1-for-1 with the two RBIs. Benham was 1-2 with the run scored and Rigsby was 1-for-3 with the RBI for Fort Gibson.
Sequoyah will play Red Oak at 4:30 p.m. today in its final warm up before districts. The Lady Indians will then host districts and play Keys at noon Thursday while Verdigris will face Kansas at 2 p.m.
Fort Gibson, by virtue of the bye, is off until next week's regionals.

News Article
Lucky McKee's film May is a wonderful story of a lovely young girl, with a bit of a doll fetish, who just can't seem to connect with other people in normal ways. Her only true friend is a doll named Suzie made by her mother.
As if May wasn't already destined to be messed up growing up with a mom who is a doll maker, her mother was kind enough to share some advice that her daughter took a little too much to heart, "If you can't find a friend, make one!" You can imagine what happens. Part-Frankenstein and part-Carrie, May is endearingly psychotic and heart-wrenchingly lonely as she goes in search of the perfect best friend.
Film: May
Director: Lucky McKee
Year: 2002
Lies They Tell: May blames a lot of her problems on her doll Suzie, but it's not Suzie's fault. After all, she's just a doll sitting all alone in a glass case. Watching, listening, judging, staring, criticizing … Let's face it, Suzie is a total jerk and she totally deserved what she got at the school for the blind, when those kids smashed her up and left the school a bloody mess.
Devilish Dolly Moment: In the end, Suzie may have been destroyed, but her influence lives on. Heeding her mother's words, May dons a roughly -sewn-together dress, which looks a lot like one of Suzie's, and goes in search of the perfect parts to make another best friend.

CHETEK, Wis. (AP) -- Barron County sheriff's officials say they've arrested a driver they say is responsible for a crashing a pickup truck into a buggy and injuring five people before fleeing the scene.
Authorities say the driver was arrested Thursday. The hit-and-run crash happened about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday near Chetek. Deputies say two adults and three children are hospitalized. The Chippewa Herald says one person was flown to Eau Claire, two were sent to a hospital in Bloomer and two others to Barron.

LEWISBURG — A project that began Monday to rebuild and reinforce the bank of Limestone Run has shut down the large Kidsburg playground on the southern side of Hufnagle Park, likely until February, a borough official said.
It's the safety of children during the construction project, not deficiencies with the playground equipment, that prompted the action, said Chad Smith, Lewisburg borough manager.
"The current work has nothing to do with Kidsburg itself," he said. Rather, excessive damage to the rip rap, or stone, along the stream, also known as Bull Run, during the flood of fall 2011 calls for large stones on the creek bed to be reclaimed and reset.
Large backhoes were on the grounds and at work Tuesday, scooping the heavy rocks from Bull Run while a vacant playground stood in the background. An orange netted safety fence blocks access to the playground.
While the press release said the playground is closed indefinitely, Smith said he expects the work to be done and the playground reopened in February. In the meantime, people are encouraged to use the Lewisburg Area Recreation Park's playground at St. Mary and North 15th streets.
The streambed work is being done under a grant Lewisburg received to repair the damage caused by Tropical Storm Lee.
"We received enough funding to award the project and have that stone reclaimed, removed and put back," Smith said. "Given the width of working along the stream and location of Kidsburg, it was closed in the interest of safety until the contractor can get out of the area."
Once that work is done, the heavy machines will move to a center area, he said.
The rest of Hufnagle Park is open, Smith said.

During the early-morning hours, Milford, Conn., police officers Jason Anderson and Richard Pisani were driving separate cruisers through a commercial area with a speed limit of 40 mph. Although the officers were not responding to an emergency, Pisani was allegedly driving between 50 mph and 70 mph, and Anderson was allegedly driving at 95 mph as he passed Pisani. Neither officer activated his cruiser's lights or siren. As Anderson entered an intersection controlled by a blinking yellow light, he struck the passenger side of a car driven by David Servin, who was turning left onto the highway.
Servin, 19, suffered fatal blunt-trauma injuries. He is survived by his parents and two siblings. Ashlie Krakowski, a 19-year-old passenger in the car, also suffered fatal injuries.
The crash was captured on the dashboard video camera of Pisani's cruiser.
Servin's parents sued Anderson and Pisani under 42 U.S.C. §1983, alleging that by operating the cruisers recklessly and in violation of numerous motor vehicle laws, the officers violated Servin's constitutional rights, including freedom from unreasonable seizure of his person and freedom from the use of excessive force. The plaintiffs alleged that the two officers were racing at the time.
The plaintiffs also sued the Milford chief of police under §1983, alleging that he violated Servin's civil rights by failing to properly train, supervise, and discipline officers who operated their cruisers in a reckless manner.
The plaintiffs contended that the Milford police had a history of driving their cruisers recklessly, and that the police department was aware of it because many cruisers were equipped with in-car cameras that recorded all incidents in which a cruiser was traveling at more than 70 mph. The plaintiffs contended that the police chief had opportunities before the incident to review the tapes and intervene to stop the reckless practice but failed to do so.
The Servins also sued the city, alleging that it had a policy or practice of improperly training and supervising officers in the proper operation of their cruisers.
During discovery, the plaintiffs filed a freedom of information request seeking copies of all video recordings of Milford police vehicles during the two years leading up to the incident. The defendants provided a few recordings, which showed incidents in which cruisers were operated recklessly and at high speeds, even in nonemergency situations.
Three months after plaintiffs' discovery request, the defendants notified them that the Milford Police Department had accidentally destroyed the remaining 2,463 records. The plaintiffs then added a claim for spoliation of evidence.
The parties settled for $2.5 million, paid by the city.
Citation: Servin v. Anderson, No. 3:11-cv-00539 (D. Conn. Feb. 15, 2012).
Plaintiff counsel: AAJ members R. Bartley Halloran and Kaitlin Ann Halloran, both of Hartford, Conn.; and Joseph A. O'Brien, West Hartford, Conn.
Plaintiff experts: Michael Cei, accident reconstruction, Wallingford, Conn.; and Reginald F. Allard, police procedure, practice, and training, Southington, Conn.
Comment: Claims are pending against the same defendants by Ashlie Krakowski's estate, which is represented by separate counsel.

WEBB CITY, Mo. —
Even though the Webb City lead was shrinking, Cardinals coach Brad Shorter made up his mind that he wasn't going to call a timeout.
Instead, he wanted to see if his team could handle the adversity from Carl Junction's 6-0 run to open the second half.
The Cardinals answered the challenge when freshman Lexey Kneib hit a 3-pointer, sparking a 12-0 run to secure a 67-48 win over the Bulldogs on Tuesday night at Webb City High School.
"I didn't want to call a timeout and bail our kids out in that situation," Shorter said. "I wanted them to stay tough and fight through it. And they did."
Webb City led 37-25 at halftime, but Carl Junction opened the third quarter with two inside buckets from Maria Chism and another from Brenlee McPherson to cut the lead to 37-31.
That was when Kneib scored her first points of the game by hitting a 3-pointer to stop the Bulldog run and take a 40-31 lead.
"We came out and had like three or four turnovers there in a row, and that's what we needed to get us going," Webb City junior guard Mikaela Burgess said. "I told her after she made it that she got us going. She stepped it up."
Burgess made five 3-pointers of her own, leading the Cardinals with 27 points.
"In my eyes, Mikaela is one of the best if not the best guard in this area," Shorter said. "She's really tough, and she wants to win so bad."
Burgess opened strong with four 3-pointers and 16 points in the first half. However, she wasn't expecting a strong start.
"When I was warming up, it was rough," she said. "I told my coach, 'My shot is off tonight.' He said, 'No, you're just getting it out of your system early.' I guess I just needed the game to start."
Webb City was enjoying a nice inside-outside game as Burgess was hitting jump shots, and 6-foot sophomore Desirea Buerge was a force inside with 19 points.
The Bulldogs were unable to recover from Webb City's run in the third quarter and trailed by as many 21 points.
Carl Junction was led by 16 points from McPherson and 13 from Chism, who scored 12 in the second half.
"Carl Junction is a quality team," Shorter said. "They really are. They're well coached, and they played hard. But our kids fought off the battle."

The Frost Polar Bears finally won an area round playoff game. In resounding fashion.
The Polar Bears executed their offense to near perfection in the second half Thursday night, pulling away from Blum for a 55-29 victory in a Region III-1A DII area round playoff game at Hillsboro High School.
Frost (16-6) had lost four straight area round games, including three in a row after winning a district title and getting a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Danial Steels scored 21 points, including 11 points after halftime. Jacob Stroder added 10 points. The Polar Bears outscored Blum 36-16 in the second half.
"We started hitting our shots in the second half," Frost coach Eric Blenden said. "And we started playing defense. They were tough."
Frost bolted out to an 11-4 first-quarter lead, but Blum's Trey Gibbs and Jarred Shaffer pulled their team back into the game, combining for seven points in the second quarter to cut the lead to 19-13 at halftime.
Frost used balanced scoring to start the second half as Robert Worley, Andrew Jackson, Steels and Stroder led Frost on a 10-0 run for a 29-13 lead. That hot start to the second half basically decided the game.
"We decided at halftime we wanted to come out and get the win," Stroder said.
Steels had four points to start the fourth quarter, one of many big stretches he had in the game. He also scored 10 of the final 12 points for Frost in the second half.
The Polar Bears will play the Milford-Huckabay winner in the next round. A win in that game and it's off to the regional tournament in Tyler.
Frost will have the confidence of its first area round win after four consecutive years of not taking the next step.
"It's good to get this done," Blenden said.
Frost 55, Blum 29
Blum 4 9 9 7 -- 29
Frost 11 8 18 18 -- 5
Blum -- Brady Chamberlain 10, Austin Elmore 2, Trey Gibbs 10, Jarred Shaffer 7.
Frost -- Andrew Jackson 6, Jacob Stroder 10, Danial Steels 21, Robert Worley 6, Ryan Worley 2, Colton Clayton 3, Maliko Bruce 7.
Records -- Blum 15-13, Frost 16-6.

When the 2012 Legislature approved the Vikings stadium, it trumpeted the notion that it would use no general fund money.
That focus made a virtue out of political necessity, as nobody believed the public would stand for diverting money from other purposes to a business subsidy, not even a business as beloved as Minnesota's NFL team.
A year later, we have come to realize what should have been apparent then: The financing mechanism for the state's sizable share of the stadium price was too gimmicky to be relied on. Electronic pulltabs aren't going to raise more money than the entire price of Target Field after all.
And the 2013 Legislature, at the behest of Gov. Mark Dayton, has turned to general fund money to backstop 2012's mistake.
Dayton's rationale for the reversal is that the state is now committed to the project and cannot afford to see it fail. True as that may be, the state is in that position because either the proponents sincerely misjudged their proposal, or because they misled us with it. Neither is attractive.
The lesson from this fiasco should be this: Any governmental project should be paid for by either a open and honest tax or by a well-designed, well targeted user fee. If the tax or the fee is unpalatable, the project isn't worth doing.
The Vikings stadium failed on that measure. The 2012 Legislature turned to a gimmick.
And now we'll pay for that mistake.

Instead of starting in Defuniak at 9:30, I would like to try to leave around 8:30 putting me in Tuscaloosa between 10:30 and 11.

Whether they agree with the instrument or not, districts in Clark and Floyd counties got their report cards from the state on Friday.
The A-F grades issued through the State Board of Education show mostly good results in the region, but some district officials still take issue with how the metrics are calculated.
As disputes over how schools earn their grade continues, district officials said they'll continue to work on improvement, even if they don't like how they're scored.
Schools in the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corp. fared the best with only three of its four schools dipping below a B, but never under a C.
Rhonda Mull, director of middle schools, said she's thrilled to see nine of the district's 14 schools make an A, five of them improving last year's grade of B.
"We are absolutely confident in how our students are learning in New Albany Floyd, we just hope the state can get the metric right," Mull said. "We feel absolutely good about the work we're doing."
But Sally Jensen, director of assessment and student information, said small differences in a school's performance can drop its grade.
"We feel like there are flaws in the metric," Jensen said. "Although we're very happy with nine out of 14 of our schools being A schools, we were hopeful this metric would get rewritten for next school year, but it doesn't look like it will."
Though they'll have to live with the current model for another year, she said she hopes the next iteration of it becomes based more on criteria, though she said she doesn't mind comparisons of similar schools.
The grades have become increasingly important in recent years, being used to determine teacher pay, school funding and the potential for state takeover.
Across the nation, school grades increasingly have been adopted by conservative education officials. Indiana first approved school assessments in 1999, and Tony Bennett, former superintendent of public instruction, later changed the labels to reflect "A-F" grades.
Bennett was in the middle of reworking Florida's school grading system earlier this year when he resigned as that state's schools chief amid the Indiana grade-change scandal. Emails obtained by The Associated Press showed a scramble by Bennett and his staff last year upon learning Christel House was about to receive a "C."
A legislative review of Bennett's alterations found they were applied evenly to other schools but did not explore his motives for the change.
Bennett is also the subject of ethics charges filed by Indiana's inspector general alleging he misused state resources to aid in his failed re-election bid last year. He recently returned to Indiana and began consulting on state-level issues with testing company ACT.
The new grades were calculated using the Bennett grading formula, which also will be used to calculate grades for the 2013-2014 school year. Members of the state board are crafting a new "A-F" grading formula.
Most schools in West Clark Community Schools saw improvement and new benchmarks were established for the schools in Henryville, which weren't graded last year because of the tornado that tore them apart.
John Reed, assistant superintendent, said he's glad to see most of his schools earning an A or B, but is concerned with a drop at Silver Creek Middle School from a B to a D.
He said though he's met with principals and teachers at the school to find out how to overcome that next time around, he' in not happy with how the grades are calculated.
"I'm very happy with our grades, but that doesn't change my opinion of the grading system," Reed said. "The legislature let out enough comments that they're not happy with it and that's why they've mandated the state board come up with new criteria."
Until that happens, he said they'll have to work internally to take the grades they earned and continue to improve upon them.
But one aspect of the system actually helps them gain traction in student improvement, he said.
"The good thing about it is it does force us to look even more carefully than we ordinarily might, at where these specific kids are and what we can do for them," Reed said. "It's stretching us and I think that's a good thing."
In Greater Clark County Schools, half of the district's 18 schools earned an A and three more with a B.
"I think it reflects overall that we are making good progress and obviously, we're not fully satisfied yet," Andrew Melin, superintendent, said. "We want all of our schools to be A schools. But the fact that we've shown growth is an important factor. I'm pleased that we have three more A schools than we had last year. It's important to stay vigilant and keep working. We're only a few months away from the first round of ISTEP+."
But Melin said he's concerned with the four Ds earned by some elementary and middle schools. However, he said focusing on finding the right resources for those schools and students is paramount in getting those grades boosted.
In Clarksville Community Schools, two schools are at the A or B level, with the middle school slipping from a C in 2012 to a D this year.
Kim Knott, superintendent, said identifying the students who had the most problems will be a key factor in improvement for next year.
"The first step is look very carefully at the data, see what students are in need of remediation and for what, then devise our plan on how we're going go that," Knott said.
But she said she doesn't have a problem with the way the grades are calculated. A good understanding of how they're tabulated can lead to pretty good estimates on what to expect.
Even if changes for A-F are on the way for 2015, she said she doesn't expect anything drastically different from the current model.
"I thin you're going to see something very similar in 2015," Knott said. "Conceptually, it's based on the system, I don't think it's flawed. I think when people aren't sure on how to run calculations, that's problematic. But when you figure out those results, they come out the way they should. I don't think they're changing anything at the high school level at all in 2015, I think you'll see very similar practices in 2015 that you see today."

Before and after pictures of a patient treated at PerioPeak Innovations with a non-invasive treatment approach called Regenerative Periodontal Endoscopy, or RPE.
The young female patient below came to PerioPeak with advanced stage periodontal disease, with generalized 5-13mm pockets. This patient was very interested in a non invasive approach over traditional surgery to treat her periodontal disease. She had undergone traditional root planing (deep cleanings) with marginal results, she continued to have deep periodontal pockets with chronic infection, bleeding, and inflammation.
This patient opted for Regenerative Periodontal Endoscopy, RPE over periodontal surgery and extractions of her teeth.

HOUSTON -- Early morning rain Thursday moved into the Gulf of Mexico leaving us with a beautiful afternoon, said KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Mario Gomez.
We'll top out around 70 degrees today under partly cloudy skies.
"At high noon we were only at 65 degrees outside," said Gomez. "The really good news is we are starting to get rid of this damp feeling, this humidity that we saw so much of yesterday."
Friday looks to be mostly sunny with a high temp near 70 degrees.
The rain chance returns Saturday as daytime temperatures drop into the 50s by Sunday. There's a good chance for rain all the way through at least next Wednesday.

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has announced that he and his frequent writing partner Atticus Ross will be composing the score for David Fincher's Hollywood adaptation of Stieg Larsson's hugely popular novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
This will be Reznor and Ross' second score for Fincher. Their previous score for The Social Network has been nominated for a Golden Globe and is widely speculated to be a frontrunner for best original score at this year's Academy Awards.

In an interview with the New York Times on Friday evening (">streamed on Livestream), Reznor explained that he believes that composing music for cinema is a "natural step forward" for his career, and promised that he and Ross will explore new sounds and textures in the Dragon Tattoo score. Specifically, the two plan to leave out programmed beats and focus on stringed instruments.

Reznor also addressed some new and old projects during the interview. He announced he is in the process of preparing a deluxe reissue of The Fragile, Nine Inch Nails' double CD set from 1999, and is currently working on the full-length debut of his current band How to Destroy Angels. When taking questions from the audience, he explained that his album with Rage Against the Machine's Zach De Le Rocha never materialized because De La Rocha was indecisive about a direction for the project.

When asked whether he would ever perform live again, Reznor explained that he will certainly do so at some point, but said he has no plans to do so as Nine Inch Nails in the near future.

" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum.
