A few notes from the week's running:
* The deadline for mail registration is coming up on Sunday. After Oct. 31, you won't be able to register by mail ... and the price will go from $25 to $30. In other words, there's a pretty good incentive to get your checkbook out NOW. Call 875-1283 for details.
* The Niagara Falls International Marathon might have had its best race ever last week, with more than 1,000 finishers. This sometimes gets overlooked because many American runners are a little intimidated by border regulations, but the event is catching on. Steve Bohan of Boston (N.Y., not Massachusetts) and Jill Gamble of Owen Sound, Ont., were the winners.
* Speaking of big turnouts, the race sponsored by the St. Mary's School for the Deaf had its biggest field ever. There were 220 finishers. Organizers really took advantage of an opening in the race calendar, as the race had the Saturday to itself. While the big field eliminated my chance at repeating as an age-group medalist, I did win the door prize of a very nice St. Mary's blanket. I'll be warm for the winter now.
* Sunday's running column has an interview with the organizers of the BobKat 5K, who say they've learned a lot after two years on the job. It's a fun story, I hold.
Now, the usual weekend roundup, courtesy of our friends at buffalorunners.com:
* Chestnut Ridge Challenge 10K, Chestnut Ridge Park Casino in Orchard Park, 9 a.m. Saturday. The runners who love a challenge will be here for this.
* Strides for Stewart 2 Benefit ECMC 5K, Veterans Park in Grand Island, 9 a.m. Saturday, 830-9515. It's a new one on the calendar.
* Jack O'Lantern Fall Classic 5K, Goat Island in Niagara Falls, 10 a.m. Saturday, 282-1228. There's a good chunk of prize money up for grabs here, and plenty of door prizes available as well. Plus, the mayor of Niagara Falls has promised to be there.
* Heritage 5K, Ellery Town Park in Greenhurst, 10 a.m. Saturday, 985-6712.
* Race to Benefit Laura Friend, 5K, 5375 Old Goodrich Road in Clarence, 10 a.m. Saturday, 741-9001. Another new one.
* Making Tracks for Families 5K, 2909 South Park Ave. in Lackawanna, 10 a.m. Sunday, 858-2671. This race started its life at the downtown baseball park, but moved to Lackawanna a couple of years ago. The cemetery is a little curvy as courses go, but it's still pretty.

At one time, grapes were nearly as big a crop in the Santa Clara Valley as prunes. This blog is a brief account of the early wine industry in Valley. It is condensed from my new local history book, The Last of the Prune Pickers: A Pre-Silicon Valley Story.
The grapes grown at Mission Santa Clara were not of a quality to produce commercial wine, but many settlers who came later brought their choice vines with them. As with fruit trees, nearly countless varieties of grapes were tried.
Elisha Stevens (of Steven's Creek fame), who in 1844 led one of the first wagon trains into California, planted a vineyard in the foothills of what is now Cupertino. Stevens had come to California seeking for gold—before it was discovered. He was apparently trained in prospecting, and after leaving off his party, went into the Sierras looking for gold. He did not find what he was looking for, so he came back to the Santa Clara Valley and planted his vineyard near today's Blackberry Farms Golf Course.
An interesting note: Stevens had been in many of the right places in the Sierras to find gold—even up the Feather River Canyon where some of the richest surface deposits were later found just lying in the river.
Stevens may have missed the gold, but he got the location right for his vineyard. The hill country of the Santa Clara Valley, especially on the west and south sides, was ideal for growing grapes. Many other settlers followed Stevens and planted vineyards in the area. Almost all of them were Europeans who had brought their own stock from their mother countries and were well-versed in wine-making.
One of the earliest was Pierre Mirassou, who established the Mirassou Winery in what is today's Evergreen District of San Jose. Charles Lefranc, another experienced wine maker from France, established Almaden Vineyards in 1852 along the southern hills. After Lefranc's death, his partner and son-in-law, Paul Masson, went out on his own and started his winery in Saratoga. Masson's specialty was champagne, which his winery produced in Saratoga until the early 1970s. One of his original buildings still stands today. It is located off of Pierce Road and is now used for social gatherings.
Virtually all the grapes produced in the Santa Clara Valley were for wine making, and many varieties proved successful. Grapes for raisins were (and still are) grown in the Central Valley where it is hotter and more conducive to growing raisin grapes.
It is not so easy to just pick up a vine or a fruit tree, take it outside of its natural habitat, and plant it. Many things can, and do, go wrong. Just as many of the native peoples in the Americas died from European diseases because they lacked immunity to them, so it can be with plants. A case where something did go horribly wrong was when someone took cuttings from wild grapes in California and carried them off to Europe to experiment with them. A tiny insect called Phylloxera came along for the ride, to which the European vineyards had no resistance. So the European wine industry took a big hit.
And the California wine industry got off the ground.
The California wine industry became huge, but the boom in the Santa Clara Valley was over by 1890. As more and more vineyards were planted and started bearing, the necessary infrastructure—cellars, presses, cooperage, bottle works, etc.—did not keep pace. The grape growers in the Valley were stuck with a lot of grapes that they could not process. Vintners in other areas did put in the needed infrastructure, and because wine grapes cannot be transported very far, the San Joaquin Valley and the Napa/Sonoma area became California's wine country.
In the western and southern foothills of the Santa Clara Valley, many farmers tore out their vineyards and planted prunes and apricots.
The Villa Montalvo property in Saratoga (now a cultural center) was purchased by Senator James Phelan in 1912 and had been almost entirely vineyards. Phelan tore out the vineyards and built his estate and gardens.
But the vineyards made a comeback beginning in the 1980s, and today there are many small vineyards in the western and southern hills of the Valley. Although most of the newer vineyards are not self-sustaining commercial enterprises, who is not glad to see them there? How pleasant is a vineyard!
Other than these reminders of the past, all that remains of the early grape growing era in the Valley are a few street names.

Willie Nelson was reportedly hospitalized before a Colorado gig on August 18th, according to Denver's NBC 9 News. Nelson, 79, was set to play the Lulu's Barkin BBQ fundraiser for the Denver Dumb Friends in Castle Pines Village, but as his band and back-up singers rolled into the venue, Nelson was a no-show. Attendees were told Nelson was taken to a nearby hospital after "suffering from breathing problems due to the high altitude and emphysema."
Nelson's publicist told Rolling Stone that "high altitude sickness" affected the singer, who's "better now." No other dates have been affected.

"Didn't live up to my expectations or other reviews"
A bit tiresome this book, learnt nothing about the interesting countries/culture, just fairly far fetched stories about 'lads abroad' behaving badly.
"Total escapism, totally nail biting..... BRILLIANT"
I really enjoyed this book. It has everything, exotic cities, drugs, girls, sex, intrigue, deceit, friendship, sun drenched beaches, high seas adventure as well as exploitation, painful loss and new beginnings.
I felt very connected to all the main characters and lived their wonderment and pain with them.
Thoroughly recommend this book!
"A bit "thin""
I wasn't after war&peace but the story was a bit shallow...no real depth to characters, just a series of events.
See above
Good job with the delivery, and the voices for the different characters
"Good Book"
Yes would recommend as it was a fast moving entertaining story.
Not the usual genre I read, so cannot really compare but would recommend
I like listening to books and Tom Lawrence read the book extremely well and I could really imagine where his character was.
I never listen to books in one sitting but there were times when I did not want to switch it off as I wanted to know what happened next.
"Gave up"
I listened to the entire first half of this book and it just never grabbed me. I just got bored. Too bad really because I love the setting, and The Beach is one of my favorite books. Things happen occasionally, but more often the story is filled with long accounts of not especially exciting train rides, pointless conversations between characters who you are not certain are relevant to the story, and inexplicable decisions on the part of the main character.
"Very Entertaining and Captivating!"
I am not sure if everything is true (I would love to read more interviews from the author), but John Harris is a very descriptive and entertaining writer, that really captures your attention and will bring about a urning for travel and exploration. I will add that his moral compass is not always in check, but at least he seems to realize it! Also, the reader does a fantastic job of sounding different with each character and making the book come alive.

Why not pack up some delicious food and invite friends to join you at the beach for a sunset bonfire? I've got the perfect menu for you. Most of the dishes can be made in advance, and all you'll need is a grill and some charcoal to do the cooking. Landlocked dwellers take note: this meal would be scrumptious nearby any body of water be it a lake, pool, or river, so be sure to check out the menu now. Source: Thinkstock Cheese and Charcuterie What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stop by a local market and pick up a small selection of cheese, charcuterie, and crackers. I love salami, but prosciutto, mortadella, and turkey are wonderful choices as well. Choose at least two types of cheese: one soft and spreadable (brie or goat cheese) and another hard and salty (cheddar or parmesan). When you arrive at the beach, set out the cheese, meat, and crackers first. That way you'll have something to nibble on while you heat up the grill. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 6 Grilled Shrimp Cocktail What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Make the cocktail sauce a couple of days before the bonfire and place in a serving bowl that has a lid. Peel, devein, and season the shrimp at home just before heading out. Grill on site at the party location and enjoy immediately! Source: Thinkstock 2 / 6 Asparagus Panzanella What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alongside the finger-licking-good shrimp, offer this veggie-packed asparagus panzanella. It can be made a day in advance; pack in Chinese takeout containers, then pass them around at the bonfire with a bunch of forks. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 6 Clam Chowder What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While everyone is eating the shrimp and panzanella, heat up a giant pot of clam chowder. This New England-style chowder is full of clams, pork, and potatoes. It tastes even better the day after it's made, so put it together the night before the party. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 6 Milano Cookies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A package of milano cookies is a great portable dessert, so surprise guests with an amazing homemade version. Place the crisp sandwich cookies with creamy chocolate filling in clear cellophane bags. Tie with a ribbon and place them in a picnic basket until it's time for dessert.

It's the first week of the new year and everyone everywhere is already struggling to keep new year's resolutions. People will promise themselves to spend less money, be more positive, be more active ... but the most popular resolution? To eat better and lose weight.
Sounds good in theory, but is it just me, or is it harder to grab an apple after a season full of eating sweets, heavy cream and all the butter you could pack into that last piece of pie?

The American Beverage Institute, a restaurant trade association that represents more than 290 restaurants in Virginia alone, believes a new law requiring all first-time DUI offenders to install a Breathalyzer in their vehicle goes too far.
The association has lobbied against such laws on the national level and in Virginia and a number of other states, saying it punishes anyone who has had "one sip" over the legal limit.
Gov. Bob McDonnell . It goes into effect July 1. Currently, installing ignition locks is a punishment in Virginia reserved for repeat offenders or first-time convictions where a person's blood alcohol content, or BAC, is higher than 0.15. The state's legal limit is 0.08.
Citing data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the American Beverage Institute stated in a recent news release that the average blood alcohol content in a fatal car crash is 0.19, more than twice the legal limit.
"A 120 pound woman can reach the 0.08% BAC level by having two glasses of wine in two hours," the association's managing director, Sarah Longwell, stated in the news release. "Should she receive the same punishment as someone with a 0.19% BAC level or multiple offenses?"
The new law will cost Virginia more than $10.6 million annually to enforce, according to the restaurant association.
The group believes Mothers Against Drunk Driving, or MADD, has launched a national campaign to make Breathalyzers come installed in every vehicle as standard equipment.
Such a move would effectively eliminate "the ability to have a glass of wine with dinner, a beer at a ball game, or a champagne toast at a wedding and drive home," according to the American Beverage Institute.

Every year when the last days of August roll around, I am acutely aware of how much older I become. And it has nothing to do with my creaky knees or the fact that my fashion sense seemingly left me somewhere around 1998.
People use many different things to mark the passage of time. Some make big deals out of birthdays or anniversaries. Others use milestone events such as the birth of a child or the death of a loved one.
All of those things are notable, but for a person like me who has invested more than half of his life to working for newspapers and covering sports, it is the start of the football season which marks my march through time.
Every year around the middle of November — sometimes sooner if the teams I am covering aren't having successful seasons — I am ready for the high school football season to be over. The reason lies in the fact that the football season is equivalent to Christmas buying season for a big retail company. It is a lot of work, but each year the players and the events and the heartbreak and the elation that each season produces make for some of the best storytelling that we do.
Actually, sometimes it seems like we don't cover high school football enough. If 7,000 people from the area would show up to watch a debate between politicians 12 Fridays out of the year, it would be on the front page of the paper with headlines to rival the arrival of a governor or a president.
But even if I'm ready for a break in November, by the time the next August rolls around, my excitement and anticipation of another season is renewed. And in tomorrow's paper, my alter ego — the Guru of Gridiron Guessing, the Prep Pigskin Prognosticator, the Kool-Aid Man himself — will return for our weekly meeting and pig pickings.
With today's paper you will find our annual area high school football preview section, and within its pages, we give the usual look at the area's teams and their schedules, and we also our take on the best players the area has to offer. But in addition, we take a different look at the game through the mind's eye, examining coaching personalities and what mental characteristics are necessary to become a successful high school quarterback.
One mental aspect we didn't profile was the mentality of the fan. And while I don't possess a Ph.D. in psychology, there are a few observations I can make heading into my 24th high school football season as a journalist.
While spring may be the season most associated with hope, I have always thought that for the sports fan it is with the coming of the fall when hope truly does spring eternal.
The area's prep season opens with Dalton hosting Ringgold at Harmon Field on Friday night, and the one thing that all of the area's football fans share right now, right this second, is the hope of a successful season.
Everyone is unbeaten. Everyone's dream of a perfect season, a magical season are alive. The possibility of all of the pieces falling into place and a run to greatness are still there and have not been doused.
Success is different for each program and varies from year to year. For some teams, falling short of any goal is considered a failure. For other programs, success may be winning that one game no one expects you to win — or simply winning one game.
Right now, all of the area's teams have potential and they are all undefeated. That has fans just as excited for the start of the season. It is the players who have invested their time and effort into getting ready for the new season, but it is the fan who will ride the wave of emotions in the stands. It is the fan who will applaud the success and even laud the effort when success isn't attained.
Strike up the band, power up the amp so we can hear the guitar licks of "Cat Scratch Fever" and get ready to fire the cannon at Southeast Whitfield. It's time.

In fact, that's one of the biggest problems we've got in how folks report about Washington right now, because I think journalists rightly value the appearance of impartiality and objectivity. And so the default position for reporting is to say, "A plague on both their houses." On almost every issue, it's, "Well, Democrats and Republicans can't agree" — as opposed to looking at why is it that they can't agree. Who exactly is preventing us from agreeing?
I don't want to totally lump reporters and pundits in together, right? It's kind of venial sins versus cardinal sins basically — right? — where reporting is very, very important and journalism is very, very important, and there are some things about campaign coverage that I might critique. Whereas punditry is fundamentally useless.
Since the politically unengaged were not "sufficiently politically equipped to guide their judgments and actions by self-organized mature knowledge, the news article reinforcing political participation exerted profound pervasive impact on their behavioral intent," the research concluded.
A new experimental study from Sungkyunkwan University finds that opinionated journalism boosts civic engagement. For those already political engaged, however, objective reporting was motivational.
Read through it here.
(via Techcrunch)
Should journalists be allowed to have opinions? If so, when and where — and how — should they be allowed to express them? Such questions have been a thorn in the side of the traditional media industry almost since the web was invented, and they have become even more irksome now that Twitter and Facebook and blogs give everyone the ability to publish with the click of a button. Although it involved an open microphone rather than social media, the latest example of a journalist being fired for making an offhand comment is Yahoo's former Washington Bureau chief David Chalian, who was dismissed for a remark he made about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. But social media or not, the underlying question remains the same: why are we trying to pretend that journalists of any stripe are emotionless robots?
Matthew Ingram, GigaOm. Why can't we just admit that journalists are human?.
Ingram argues that the more we know of a journalist's opinions, the better: "We need to encourage more transparency rather than less, because there are so many sources of information now that the old "journalist as impartial oracle" approach, or what Jay Rosen calls the "View From Nowhere," simply no longer works (and was a fiction in any case)."
Something happened in our press over the last 40 years or so that never got acknowledged and to this day would be denied by a majority of newsroom professionals. Somewhere along the way, truthtelling was surpassed by other priorities the mainstream press felt a stronger duty to. These include such things as "maintaining objectivity," "not imposing a judgment," "refusing to take sides" and sticking to what I have called the View from Nowhere.
No one knows exactly how it happened, for it's not like a policy decision came down at some point. Rather, the drift of professional practice over time was to bracket, or suspend sharp questions of truth and falsehood in order to avoid charges of bias, or excessive editorializing. Journalists felt better, safer, on firmer professional ground–more like pros–when they stopped short of reporting substantially untrue statements as false. One way to describe it (and I believe this is the correct way) is that truthtelling moved down the list of newsroom priorities. Other things now ranked ahead of it.
One of the biggest complaints readers have about my work is that I don't tell them often enough what they can do. I do think this is an area where journalism sometimes falls short. We describe a really grim situation but don't really explain to people what they can do about it. So, a few years ago I started doing a year-end list of amazing charities. The first time, I had real anxiety about whether it was appropriate. But the response was so overwhelming, it seemed to be a real service to readers and I've continued to do it. It also happens when I'm not especially encouraging people to give. For instance, a few months ago I profiled a group called Room to Read and I later learned they raised $700,000 as a result of people hearing about them from my column.
Thanks for writing in. You make some good points but I think you are misreading, or overreading, what Jay wrote.
He does not ask for NPR to come down on either side of the abortion debates. What he does say, and believes listeners deserve an answer to, is who has more truth on their side with this specific piece of Kansas legislation.
Listen (emphasis ours):
My complaint is not the usual one that you probably get: biased reporting. No. This is he said, she said reporting, one of the lowest forms of journalism in existence, in which the NPR reporter washes her hands of determining what is true. The new Kansas regulations may be a form of harassment, intended to make life as difficult as possible for abortion providers in that state. Or, alternatively, these rules may be sane, rational, common sense, sound policy: just normal rule-making by responsible public officials.
According to this report, NPR has no idea who is right. It cannot provide listeners with any help in sorting through such a dramatic conflict in truth claims. It knows of no way to adjudicate these clashing views. It is simply confused and helpless and the best it can do is pass on that helplessness to listeners of "Morning Edition." Because there is just no way to know whether these new rules try to make life as difficult as possible for abortion providers, or put common sense public policy goals into practice in Kansas. There is no standard by which to judge. There is no comparison that would help. There is no act of reporting that can tell us who has more of the truth on their side. In a word, there is nothing NPR can do! And so a good professional simply passes the conflict along. Excellent: Now the listeners can be as confused as the journalists.
You are correct that journalists and journalism don't have a priestly hold on capital "T" Truth. Nor would we want it.
But Jay's critique isn't about that. It's about the truth of demonstrable ideas and policies. There's a difference here.

We believe doing a proper newscast and telling the story correctly, great storytelling in the tradition of 60 Minutes, are the kind of things that are going to bring in a wide, wide section of the public. Every single day we get together and ask, 'What are the most important things that happened in the world today? How can we cover them? How can we tell the story and give it a unique insight?' Those are the standards we use. We do not sit around asking ourselves, 'Is this going to appeal to a 19-year-old?' or, 'Is that going to appeal to a woman?' We are covering the news.
Scott Pelley, CBS News, Journalism holds up a mirror, tells us the facts
The newest addition to the CBS evening news offers his opinion of how the news should be. While other networks gravitates toward opposing extremes, Pelley aims for the middle where objectivity, fairness and accuracy lie.
First, we should redefine, not abandon, objectivity as one of the principles that define responsible journalism. Second, we should develop ethical guidelines for specific forms of new media — guidelines that are consistent with general principles such as truth-telling.
Does new media require a new definition of objectivity? In this article, Stephan Ward argues that, yes, it does. Ward suggests that in order for ethics to prosper, objectivity must be redefined within the constraints of a new domain. In this case, new media journalism.
The decline of traditional media and the rise of viral emails and partisan Web and cable TV platforms has meant the near-collapse of common facts, believed across the political spectrum.

(via poynterinstitute)
There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job.
The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.
John Swinton, circa 1880, when asked to give toast in praise of an independent press. At the time, Swinton was an editorial writer for the New York Sun. Previously, he had been the chief editorial writer for the New York Times.
Christopher Ketcham, Truthdig, Intellectual Prostitution and the Myth of Objectivity
We have to reject the tired notion that objectivity means the reader can get all the way to the bottom of the story and not know what to think.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the stocks that could see active trade in Monday's session are Mattel Inc., Best Buy Co. and Procter & Gamble Co.
Companies on deck to report results as the first real week of earnings season gets under way include Citigroup Inc. /quotes/zigman/5065548/delayed/quotes/nls/c C -1.66% , M&T Bank Corp. /quotes/zigman/220191/delayed/quotes/nls/mtb MTB -1.31% , Gannett Co. /quotes/zigman/227199/delayed/quotes/nls/gci GCI +0.49% , Brown & Brown Inc. /quotes/zigman/190046/delayed/quotes/nls/bro BRO -0.78% , ICU Medical Inc. /quotes/zigman/73647/delayed/quotes/nls/icui ICUI -1.29% and Triangle Petroleum Corp. /quotes/zigman/712130/delayed/quotes/nls/tplm TPLM -5.37% , among others.
Mattel /quotes/zigman/75129/delayed/quotes/nls/mat MAT -0.49% reported first-quarter net income of $7.8 million, or 2 cents a share, down from $16.6 million, or 5 cents, earned in the same period during 2011. Quarterly sales generated by the El Segundo, Calif.-based toy company slipped 2%, to $928.4 million, including one percentage point from currency translations. Mattel said its $680 million acquisition of HIT Entertainment as well as integration costs subtracted 4 cents a share from profit for the latest quarter. Analysts, on average, had been looking for Mattel to post quarterly earnings of 7 cents a share on revenue of $986 million, according to a survey by FactSet Research.
Late Sunday, Canadian metals companies Endeavour Silver Corp. and AuRico Gold Inc. said they reached a definitive agreement under which Endeavour /quotes/zigman/31426/delayed/quotes/nls/exk EXK +0.51% will acquire 100% interests in the El Cubo silver and gold mine and in the Guadalupe y Calvo exploration project, both in Mexico, for up to $250 million. Upon closing, Endeavour will pay Toronto-based AuRico /quotes/zigman/5409373/delayed/quotes/nls/auq AUQ -0.49% $200 million, including up to $100 million in the form of Endeavour common stock and the rest in cash. AuRico also will have the right to up to an additional $50 million in cash payments from Endeavour in the event certain milestone events are met during the ensuing three years, the companies said. The El Cubo mine in central Mexico is located just six miles from Endeavour's own operating Guanajuato silver and gold mine, the Vancouver-based company said. Separately, AuRico issued an update on its operations for the next three years, in light of both the deal with Endeavour as well as a March deal to to sell off its Australian mining interests. Instead, AuRico will focus its business strategy on its three core operating mines and on its pipeline of projects in development in Mexico and Canada. AuRico's projections for output, cash costs and capital spending at its core operations haven't changed, the company said.
Best Buy /quotes/zigman/219712/delayed/quotes/nls/bby BBY -1.88% revealed Saturday the locations of the 50 U.S. stores it said last month would be closed, most of them by May 12. The stores are in 21 states and Puerto Rico; California has the largest number of closures at seven. "This was not an easy decision to make," Richfield, Minn.-based Best Buy said in a statement. "We chose these stores carefully, and are working to ensure the impact to our employees will be as minimal as possible, while serving all customers in a convenient and satisfying way." The company said it will work to help affected employees find other positions within Best Buy and will offer severance packages for the rest. The retailer also stressed its commitment to a new "Connected Store" format as well as to expanding its small-format Best Buy Mobile stores throughout the U.S.
/quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA 16,493.37, -69.93, -0.42%
Following Friday's close of trading, Procter & Gamble /quotes/zigman/238894/delayed/quotes/nls/pg PG +3.01% said its board approved a 7% increase in the Dow Jones Industrial Average component's quarterly dividend on common stock, to 56.2 cents a share from 52.5 cents previously. The new dividend will be paid on or after May 15 to stockholders of record as of April 27, the Cincinnati-based company said. It marks the 56th straight year in which P&G has increased its dividend.
North Central Bancshares Inc. , the Ft. Dodge, Iowa-based parent of First Federal Savings Bank of Iowa, said it received no alternative acquisition proposals before the expiration last week of the "go-shop" period as specified in the company's merger agreement with Great Western Bancorporation Inc. Accordingly, North Central said it will proceed with the terms of the companies' March merger agreement, which set a cash buyout price of $30.58 a share on North Central's outstanding common stock. Shares of North Central ended Friday's trading at $30.23. The parties anticipate closing on the merger by the summer, pending approval by North Central stockholders and other conditions.

Fire season has arrived early in Southwest Colorado, firefighters warned Thursday.
A controlled burn on Red Ridge Road in the Animas Valley north of Durango got out of control Thursday afternoon, scorching one acre, said Karola Hanks, fire marshal with Durango Fire & Rescue Authority.
The landowner built his burn piles, obtained a burn permit and informed dispatch he would be burning, Hanks said.
"(But) pretty soon, he wasn't burning piles," she said. "He was burning the hillside."
Southwest Colorado is in a drought, and it received below-average moisture this winter, she said. Even though the dirt looks moist, the vegetation has very little moisture, she said.
Hanks said, "We don't see a change in the immediate forecast that gives us any indication that we're going to be getting the moisture that we would hope for."
It is safest to burn early in the morning and have fires out before the winds pick up in the afternoon, Hanks said.
"It's spring in Southwest Colorado, so we acquire wind almost every afternoon," she said. "Therefore, you want small piles so they're completely burned through by the time that wind picks up."
She asked residents to report their controlled burns to dispatch before burning. If the land is not designated as agricultural, landowners need to obtain an open-burn permit from their local fire department. There is no fee associated with the permit.
People also need to check the weather forecast to make sure there are no red-flag warnings and have water nearby, she said.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of barrels taken by Nicolas Tari. A total of 46 barrels produced. This sample taken before any racking has taken place although there will probably be one in May (instead since the 2004 vintage, the wine rests upon its lees with batonnage dependent upon each barrel.) A more Semillon based..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A very pretty combination of spice, mineral reduction, citrus blossom and ocean breeze leads to impressive rich and round flavors that possess a seductive texture. There is fine depth and length and while this is less intense than the Séchets, it's finer. This too is worth considering."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Focusing on old vines, the 2011 Chardonnay Old Guard is Chablis-like with it green-tinged color, searing oyster shell-like minerality, citrus blossom and lime aromas and flavors. It, too, is laser-focused on the palate and needs another year or two to unwind. Incredibly impressive, few wines show..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Ebulliently floral on the nose, this decadently creamy Tokaji bursts with characteristic honey, peach preserve and dried fig sweetness. A streak of citrusy acidity adds balance, while subtle hints of caramelized sugar and tea leaves add twists to the long, honey-kissed finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Sigalas Rabaud was sensational out of barrel and served blind, the wine does nothing to dispel my initial optimism that this is the apogee for the estate – so far. It is bestowed with an intense bouquet of quince, orange zest and almond with a lighter touch of honey compared to its peers...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Here the nose is dominated by reduction and sulfur at present and is thus unreadable. What can be assessed is that there is good detail, power, size and weight to the concentrated and mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent length on the bone dry and overtly austere finish...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "As is almost always the case with a fine Blanchots there is a distinct floral component that is complemented by notes of citrus, wet stone and seaweed. There is a discreet minerality to the wonderfully refined middle weight flavors that possess fine mid-palate density as well as impeccable balance..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 White is a bit more focused than the 2010, partly because of the addition of Petit Manseng and Marsanne to the blend. Floral-infused honey, nectarines, peaches and crushed rocks wrap around the long, nuanced finish. The 2011 White is 66% Roussanne, 14% Viognier, 14% Petit Manseng and 6%..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very elegant and refined in texture, with fresh, focused acidity finding fine integration with the layered notes of patisserie apple, black currant, smoky mineral and biscuit, complimented by hints of lemon zest and honey. Lingering finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very tight green flavors, herbaceous, with lively fresh fruits, but restrained into a taut, mineral jacket."

Working on it. Got support from one of the local councillors, the noise nuisance team and planning enforcement. Working on getting Health and Safety on to it (there's a few issues that fall under their remit) too.
Slightly worried because the temple are resorting to dirty tactics. We collected a petition of surrounding residents. They've got ten letters from people in our neighbourhood who claim we approached them and misrepresented ourselves as representing the temple organisation. The fucked up thing is, we didn't even visit 5 or 6 of the places, and only two of the ten signed our petition. We have since discovered one of those two said she only signed their letter because they kept harassing her and ringing her bell non-stop. They've told people they'll "burn in hell" for opposing a place of worship, that it's a sin, all sorts of emotional blackmail, bordering on threats. It's unseemly.
They've been collecting a petition (300 signatures) and garnering support using their website. I've seen the planning file and their side of it (in favour of the application) dwarfs ours, but it's padded with people from India and Malaysia! Even the UK-based ones are from places like Slough, Essex and Birmingham. I'm hoping the council disregards their views; they don't live here, what business is it of theirs? If the temple relocates, they can still go. That's all we want.
It's because the temple's been telling its worshippers that we, in the house next door, are trying to close them down. Which isn't quite true. We've asked the council to help them relocate, so those people can go pray, without disturbing the local neighbourhood. You should see the dirty looks we get. Every person who walks past our house looks in, and if looks could kill...it's like being a prisoner in your own house. It's fucking insane, hopefully the council can see that.

Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
I love finding little hidden jewels in our nonfiction collection! One of these marvelous jewels is a book entitled Safe Passage: the remarkable true story of two sisters who rescued Jews from the Nazis. This is a reprint of a 1950 memoir entitled "We Followed Our Stars" and it is the story of Ida Cook and her sister Louise as they recount the efforts they made to save Jews from Nazi concentration camps. Passionate Opera fans, they became involved with the suffering of Jewish friends in Europe on frequent forays from their home in London to the continent to listen to Opera performances. During the course of the war, they made many trips, using forged documents, to save Jews – and listen to Opera! They often smuggled jewels out of Europe to fund the release of Jews, and even purchased a flat in London to house recently saved Jews.
One of the really unique aspects of this book is the charming, optimistic, no-big-deal attitude of the sisters, who felt that the opportunity life gave them to travel to Europe and savor the Opera was as much a blessing to them, as was their unwavering efforts to save as many Jews from the concentration camps as they possibly could. In 1965 they were honored as Righteous Among the Nations by the Yad Vashem Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Authority in Israel. This book is a delightful read!
Mistaken Identity; two families, one survivor, unwavering hope written by Don and Susie VanRyn and Newell, Colleen & Whitney Cerak with Mark Tabb, is the true story about Laura VanRyn of Grand Rapids, Michigan and Whitney Cerak of Gaylord, Michigan, two young college students who attended Taylor University in Indiana. Their story is both tragic and redemptive. On April 26, 2006, Whitney and Laura were traveling, along with other students and staff in two university vans, back to campus after working at a banquet when, suddently, one of the vans was struck by a semitrailor that crossed over the center median of I-69 near the Marion, Indiana, exit. "The van was carrying five students and four food services employees. Of the nine people in the van, five had died." Laura was taken to Parkview Hospital in Ft. Wayne, Indiana...unconscious, in critical condition, broken bones and a very serious head injury. Unfortunately, Whitney was pronounced dead.
The events following this tragic day for the Cerak family and the VanRyn family are tremendous loss and eventual triumph. It is emotional, tender, loving, prayerful, but most of all, overflowing with their unwavering faith and strength in Jesus Christ. The book is well written; it takes the reader on a chronologically documented reality of their circumstances and the struggles faced by the victims' families, friends, communities, university, and medical personnel.
Perhaps you remember the national media events of this story: after five weeks of hospitalization and therapy it was discovered that Laura was the student who died in the accident and Whitney is the student who survived, a consequence of mistaken identity. The powerful ordeal of faith and forgiveness is highly recommended not only because of its geographic proximity to Kalamazoo, but also because of the tremendous love, inspiration and respect gleaned for the VanRyn and Cerak families.
This is a must-read for anyone confused or curious about the historical relationship between science and religion. For most, especially modern Americans, the accepted story is that these two cherished disciplines have always been at war, and still are; that the rise of one is the fall of the other; that they are a divorced couple who should never have been married in the first place. In an era of Richard Dawkins and the Intelligent Design movement, this story is hard not to accept.
The editor and contributor of this collection of essays calls this story "the greatest myth in the history of science and religion," argues that it is propagandist in nature, recognizes that several sub-myths are related to it; and proceeds to "dispel the hoary myths that continue to pass as historical truths" in chronological order, beginning with the murder of Hypatia and ending with creationism in America. As you will read, some are partly true, some completely false, and many simply need to be qualified and amended.
Nowadays it may be hard to find a general-audience book that is not biased to either science or religion, but with a twenty-five numbered cast of specialists on science and/or religion who convincingly have "no...scientific or theological axes to grind" (half are agnostic/atheist, the other being members of various religions), I think we have found one.
I am really looking forward to seeing the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox, both because I'm a fan of director Wes Anderson and a fan of stop-motion animation. The movie is based on the book of the same title by Roald Dahl, author of such children's classics as The Witches and Matilda. I imagine that Wes Anderson's penchant for quirky characters and minutely-detailed sets will pair well with Roald Dahl's odd sense of humor. My only question is: should I read the book or see the movie first?
Mary Karr described her Texas childhood in The Liar's Club, her adolescence in Cherry (also available in audiobook form), and now her descent into alcoholism, her stay at the "Mental Marriott," and her resurrection in Lit.
I thought I had read enough memoirs of a hard life, dysfunctional family, drugs, and alcohol, but since I liked her writing in the first two memoirs, I wanted to know what followed.
This is more than a story of alcoholism and the effects on a marriage. It is about coming to terms with family, a needy self, a spiritual longing, and rediscovering your writing voice.
She is a masterful storyteller of her fight for survival during her late teen, college, early career, and motherhood years. This one stands alone or as the third in the memoir series.
Don't get me wrong, I love a bargain just as much as the next guy, but all of the consumer anticipation and retailer hype over the looming Black Friday shopping extravaganza has me considering my recent reading of Ellen Ruppel Shell's book Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture and taking a closer look at how much things cost and why they cost that much. In the book, Shell, a contributing editor for The Atlantic, examines the history and intricate market forces that go into the price we pay for the stuff that we buy. Sounds a bit dry, I know, but Shell's well researched and thorough examination of price is anything but, and follows the winding historic path that has led from a time when goods were scarce and quality was paramount to our current marketplace where, in Shell's assessment, quality means very little, price is king, and profit margins have grown so incredibly thin that innovation is a luxury that very few companies can afford. My reading tastes don't often veer into the economics section of the library, but I was glad that they did for this title.
After being asked several times recently for "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan, I realized that generally I was being asked for the book by the same audience- 4th-6th grade boys. So I decided to read it, to see what makes this title (first in the series) so popular.
I was immediately caught up in the fast paced story, which is a blend of fantasy, myth, and monsters. It's a winning combination. Twelve year old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of school (again). How can he stand by and watch his scrawny best friend be bullied, or not defend himself when his algebra teacher turns herself into a monster and tries to kill him? It turns out that Percy is the son of Poseidon and a mortal woman. As he discovers his heritage, he loses his mother and finds himself in real danger, along with his new friends Grover, a satyr, and Annabelle, a daughter of Athena. The Greek gods are still very much alive and well in the modern world. They are feuding over Zeus' lost thunderbolt, and Percy and his friends depart on a quest across America to retrieve it. Along the way, in addition to the non-stop action, issues are also raised about trust, family, and the environment.
Now I know why kids have been requesting these fast moving, humorous adventure stories- (what one reviewer called "an adventure quest with a hip edge." ) They're good reads.
Pat Tillman was a famous, professional football player who enlisted in an elite troop of army rangers after the September 11th attacks. Tillman sacrificed a large salary that would have made him millions and committed to a three year stint that would ultimately take him to both Iraq and Afghanistan. That is what most Americans knew of Pat Tillman prior to learning about his death in 2004.
Tillman's death atop a rugged mountainside in Khost Province, a region of Afghanistan near the Pakistani border, was more than just a routine death by enemy soldiers but rather a troubling story of friendly fire that unfolded amidst a military cover-up. Jon Krakauer, author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air, takes the reader alongside Tillman as he emerges from the crude stereotypes often rendered of professional athletes and shown to be a dynamic subject full of humane depth and internal contradictions. As much as the book focuses on Tillman's rise to football fame and the scandal surrounding his death, lay history readers will glean great insights about the country of Afghanistan, its recent history, and the often under discussed topic of wartime fratricide.
Join me and several other librarians on December 3rd at 6:30pm as we talk about some of the best books of 2009. This program will provide helpful lists of recently published books, albums and movies that might be great holiday gifts.
I'm always happy to discover wonder in subjects that I know little about – like visual art. Ellen Stoll Walsh's Mouse Magic makes color theory fun and offers readers the chance to experience how we perceive color. Complementary colors, the ones opposite each other on the color wheel, appear to jump around when juxtaposed. Cool!
The last year has seen some other entries into the "picture books about color and the way we perceive it" mini-genre. An Eye for Color is the story of Josef Albers. After immigrating to the United States in the early 1930s, Albers spent many years systematically studying color relationships until he produced Interaction of Color, a now classic text that demonstrates what he learned in his disciplined explorations. We perceive what we can objectively say is the same color in very different ways depending on the environment the color is situated.
The Day-Glo Brothers is the surprisingly interesting story of how Bob and Joe Switzer developed Day-Glo paint. I know, I know - it doesn't sound that interesting. Why check this book out? Because Chris Barton shares a great piece of American industrial history and a compelling family story. From one brother's desire to light up his magic show and the other brother's need to make money to pay his medical bills after a workplace accident, the Switzers developed something we see every day – those shockingly bright greens, oranges and yellows. Brighten up your own day with picture books at the library.
Gabriel Coats, his mother, Sewing Annie, his fiancée, Mary, and his sister, Ellen buy their freedom after great suffering, and open a tailor shop and laundry in Washington, DC, just before the Civil War. Not surprisingly, their master tries to regain control of his former property and the family is forced to pay for their "freedom" again and again.
Stand the Storm is an uplifting love story of men and women attempting to free themselves from slavery. The strength of the story lies in the character development and the exploration of their relationships with each other during a time when former slaves fought for their lives almost on a daily basis.
I realize I knew little about slaves who had bought their freedom before the Civil War. This is a compelling story of injustice and sadness, yet also with joy and hope.

LITTLE FALLS, N.Y. — Count Little Falls Mounties coach Monica Tooley among the fans of a change to the postseason overtime procedures approved last month by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.
A consistent critic of using strokes for a shootout to determine a winner in tie games, Tooley welcomes the arrival of the college tie-breaking format. Rather than lining a series of players up for strokes against the opposing goalies, the shootout will now feature a one-on-one attach at the goal with a time limit, similar to the shootout used on ice by the National Hockey League during its regular season.
"I love this," Tooley said when the rule change was adopted. "This is what I've wanted."
After exhausting overtime field play — two 10-minute, seven-on-seven periods of sudden-victory competition — each coach will select five shooters to take the ball 25 yards out from the cage with 10 seconds on the clock. The shooter has until the clock expires to carry the ball into the circle and attempt to score against the opposing goalie.
"This is still two people," Tooley conceded, "but it requires you to have a strategy. ... It puts the pressure on the field player instead of the goalie."
If the tie remains unbroken after five shooters, a second round of five would follow with the teams trading shots in a sudden victory format thereafter.
The rule was adopted two years ago by the NCAA and Tooley described the high school change as a "trickle down" effect.
"It's going to force you to teach your goalie to be more aggressive, more active," she said.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, y'all. If you make it to Cozumel on Elmwood, have one or two (dozen) for me. Till then, a look around the NHL:
*Mike Grier's teammates have had their say. Now it's up to the right winger and the Sabres on whether he'll be back next season.
"He's one of the nicest guys I've ever played with, one of the best leaders I've ever played with," said Ennis, trying to keep his composure while staring straight ahead, refusing to glimpse at Grier. "I hope he keeps playing. I hope he comes back."
Those sentiments echoed throughout the Sabres' dressing room when the players cleaned out their lockers last week.
"I hope he continues to play," left wing Thomas Vanek said. "Mike sat right next to me my first year, and he helped me out a ton. I hope he plays and continues because he's good for this room. He's good not just for young guys but with everyone. He's just a good person, good leader, and he's obviously still a good player."
*With time winding down, chants of "sweep, sweep, sweep" reverberated through the building, and the Tampa Bay Lightning kept pushing the Washington Capitals - all the way out of the NHL playoffs.
Sean Bergenheim scored two goals and Dwayne Roloson stopped 33 shots, helping the streaking Lightning complete a series sweep of the top-seeded Capitals with a 5-3 victory in Game 4 on Wednesday night.
"We're definitely happy, but we're not popping champagne or anything," Lightning forward Ryan Malone said.
Meanwhile, there was no comeback for Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals - only more postseason disappointment.
"It was a tough year - we went through peaks and valleys - but I just thought if we persevered that something good was going to happen," Washington coach Bruce Boudreau said.
ESPN's Scott Burnside writes: As we watched the Washington Capitals shake hands at center ice of the St. Pete Times Forum, heads bowed, shoulders drooping, we were struck by one thought: what a waste.
*The Detroit Red Wings played their best game of the Western Conference semifinals. It wasn't good enough.
Devin Setoguchi scored his third goal of the game 9:21 into overtime, giving the San Jose Sharks a 4-3 win over Detroit and a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals on Wednesday night.
*The Philadelphia Flyers know they can do it. They just can't afford to think about it - not yet, at least.
For the second consecutive year, the Flyers have spotted Boston a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals. Last year, Philadelphia won the next four games to eliminate the Bruins on its way to the Stanley Cup finals.
"We can't look at trying to win four in a row. We're not going to win four games on Friday," Flyers forward Danny Briere said on Wednesday after Boston won 5-1 in Game Three. "We have to win one game and go from there. That's all we should be focusing on."
*The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that more than two months after declaring a "sense of urgency" to find a buyer or investors who would keep the Thrashers in Atlanta, part-owner Michael Gearon Jr. reports limited progress.
A cloud of uncertainty hangs over the Thrashers and their fan base, and in the rumor-rich NHL, speculation has gained momentum recently that the team's fate could be tied to how another franchise resolves its own muddled ownership situation.
The Phoenix Coyotes are expected to be sold soon, either to a Chicago businessman who would keep them in Arizona or to a Winnipeg, Manitoba, group that would move them to the Canadian city. If the Coyotes remain in Glendale, Ariz., Winnipeg reportedly would pursue another team — possibly the Thrashers, whose ownership group, Atlanta Spirit, wants to shed the franchise's financial losses.

Jason Norman Miller, 35, Locust Grove, told police officer Chad Nave he killed William Brizendine Brizendine, 42, Rose and Ronald Leroy Orear, 48, Locust Grove, because he thought "they was going to steal something" from him.
Miller is facing two counts of felony murder in the first degree from an incident that took place Feb. 16. He was arraigned Wednesday in Mayes County District Court.
According to the probable cause affidavit, shortly after Miller was placed in restraints deputies Johnny Jenkins and Kenny Guess arrived on scene.
Jenkins said they cleared the residence and discovered two bodies inside.
Lt. Albert McKee said he arrived on scene and observed the body of Orear and noticed severe trauma to the head and face.
McKee said he, OSBI Agent Dennis Franchini and DA Investigator Gary Stansill interviewed Miller at the Locust Grove Police Department.
After being advised of his rights, Miller said he understood them and had nothing to hide, so he signed a Miranda waiver.
Miller told the officers that Brizendine and Orear came to his house and the three were visiting. Then Brizendine went into the kitchen and cooked some fry bread. Miller said around 4:30 a.m., Orear grabbed Miller by the shirt and told him that he was going to kill him. Miller said he grabbed an AR-15 rifle and fired two shots at Orear, believing that he hit him in the chest. Miller said Orear fell to the floor. He then shot Brizendine once somewhere in the front torso area.
McKee asked Miller why he shot Orear twice and Brizendine only once. Miller said it was because he had only three bullets.
Miller said Brizendine started running for the back door and he hit Brizendine with the rifle and knocked him down He said Brizendine was on his stomach on the floor and Miller got on his back and took a sheath-knife from Brizendine's belt and stabbed him three or four times in the throat.
Miller was asked why he stabbed Brizendine if he was trying to leave. Miller said that he wanted to make sure that he was dead.
Miller was then asked how he hit Brizendine with the gun. Miller said he swung it like an ax. Miller said he then went back to the dining room to make sure Orear was dead.
McKee asked Miller how he checked to make sure Orear was dead, and Miller said he kicked him and thought he was faking it, so he hit him in the face with the gun.
Miller is facing two counts of murder in the first degree with deliberate intent, a felony. He will face a preliminary sounding docket in the Mayes County Courthouse at 9 a.m. March 29. No bond has been set.

A Classic Pro/Am
Oakley continued it's authentic grassroots golf campaign with another Pro/Am tour stop in Spanaway, Washington. This location is close to the heart for Oakley golf's poster boy Ryan Moore, who grew up in the area and owns the host golf course – Classic Country Club.
Ryan has been with Oakley since his days at UNLV, wearing our apparel and footwear. Moore's year has been plagued with injuries, but still has pulled together several solid results on the PGA Tour resulting in $1.5 Million in tour earnings thus far. Look for Ryan to finish strong in his last three tournaments of the year.
Last year's Pro/Am fought through some tough Northwest weather, but this year the event was pushed up a month and blessed with perfect mid-70 and bluebird skies – truly ideal conditions for golf. Additionally, the course was given the royal Oakley Golf style treatment with spray painted tee boxes, fairways and sand traps, as well as banners, sails, posters, tents and glass display cases showcasing different Oakley products on course.
New for this year at the Classic and maybe the best part was the presence of the Regional Rolling O Lab West & it's crew of Bryan, Sean and Kyle making their first visit to the Northwest Golf Community. The response was overwhelming from the local golf pros and players, who gave praise not only to the O Lab's amazing footprint at the Classic, but it's strong educational aspect.
Before any of the golfers hit the golf course they signed in, were given an Oakley bag with several gifts, then took a VIP tour of the Rolling O Lab and closed out the tour by building their own custom Flak Jackets. The custom program has been taking the world by storm, first starting with the Rev Tour late last year to the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing and now gaining more exposure and praise in Spanaway, Washington.
Fun conditions with the perfect weather, a friendly beverage cart girl, prizes – including a BMW 1.35i for a hole in one on number four and cold hard cash up for grabs provided top notch play with several players scoring under par.
After a fantastic round of golf on the challenging Classic CC course, everyone was treated to an awesome BBQ and chill time. Once the food digested in everyone's stomaches it was time for the pro clinic hosted by Oakley and Ping. Aaron Baddeley, Ben Crane, Bubba Watson and Ryan Moore put on a display of how to hit everything from wedge shots to long booming "Bubba" drives.
Each player took a different golf shot and explained how they hit the club, showcased there skill set by example and answered questions from the crowd. The clinic was a big hit for the 200 plus that showed up to watch four of the best young PGA Tour players smack some balls around.
Big ups to Oakley Washington Sales Matt & Jenna Crane, Oakley Sports Marketing Golf Manager Al Janc and of course Mike, Jeremy and Ryan Moore for pulling off another fantastic Oakley Pro/Am at the Classic Country Club!
