"Raw organic hummus. A treat from traditionally cooked hummus and causes very little gas because all the enzymes are still there. When I serve this I make a depression in the middle and fill it with olive oil. Serve with pita bread, carrot or celery sticks, or small romaine leaves."

Original recipe yields 20 servings
- Soak the beans for 24 hours. Drain, and let sit for 2 to 3 days, until the bean's sprouts are about 1/2 inch long. Rinse the beans once or twice a day.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Remove from heat, and let stand for 1 minute. Place the sprouted beans in the hot water, and let sit for 1 minute. Drain. If you do not do this step, the hummus will be awful.
- Place the sprouted beans into the container of a large food processor. Add the tahini, sea salt, lemon juice, and garlic. Process until smooth, adding water if necessary. It will take 3 to 5 minutes to blend. Let sit in the food processor for 5 minutes to allow the beans to absorb as much of the water as possible. If too thick, add more water, and blend again. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Spoon into a serving dish, and garnish with paprika.

This is actually the recipe that led me to this site a couple of years ago. I didn't love this as is, but I'll keep working with it, now that I have more experience making hummus. For those concerned with the safety of eating this: It's absolutely safe, and it's better for you than "cooked" hummus because it's easier to digest. The problem with the funky smell could have come from your sprouting method. Beans need to be sprouted in a large jar with a mesh or cheesecloth lid, lying on its side (so the beans are spread out) in a dark but well-ventilated area. If yours were moldy, it could have been because there was not enough air getting to them. As for the question of whether this is raw: It's raw because the beans are not cooked; "regular" hummus uses cooked beans and is therefore not raw.
My 4 yo picky non-vegetarian son who likes regular hummus LOVES this recipe. I am so grateful for this recipe. My son and I've recently developed hayfever and we are trying to fortify our bodies with more enzymes from fresh raw food. Other than the basic salad and fresh cut vegetables, I had yet to venture into real raw food prep. This is a great introduction. I did make an error though, I soaked the beans for almost 2 days (changing water twice) and forgot to let the beans sprout, nevertheless it was just as good and I'm sure the enzymes were activated. I also held back a bit on the garlic (i used one big clove) because I wasn't sure if my son would like it too strong since the restaurant versions we usually consume taste rather bland.
I never want regular hummus again. I'm serious. This is beyond hummus.....

Do you enjoy the delicate paintings of watercolor? Watercolor painting has the reputation of being difficult. Unlike oil or acrylic painting, where the paints stay where they are put and dry more or less where they are applied, water is active and changes the outcome of the appearance of the paint as it dries. The difficulty you have in watercolor painting is learning how to anticipate the behavior of the water. No two watercolor paintings can be the exact same.
If you have always thought about learning to paint and using the many techniques of watercolor, now would be your opportunity.
Noted watercolor artist Thomas Eckert will be holding another watercolor workshop in November at Fair Park. He is a member of six different Tennessee art organizations and has received many of his ideas from numerous talented artists over the years. He considers himself exceedingly fortunate to have had the opportunity to study for a year under the late Guy Slover of Pleasant Hill.
Like every artist, Eckert has his own style. His work is in watercolor, pencil, acrylics and mixed media. Painting has taught him to look at the ordinary in life in a whole new light. In his travels, he observes shapes and colors that become a source of inspiration. Old barns, the many wonders of nature and even a pair of old boots can be points of interest.
You can become a better artist with each painting you create. You can sign up today for Eckert's next watercolor workshop, which will be held Nov. 8 and 22, from 1 to 3 p.m. When you sign up, you will receive a materials list of the items you will need to bring to the class. Special thanks goes to Bilbrey's Funeral the sponsor for the arts at Fair Park Senior Center, with your cost only being $10 for the two-day workshop.
If you have always wished you could speak Spanish and have someone work with you, now is the time with Beverly Sharp every Tuesday at 1 p.m., starting Nov 6. Sharp will help you. Just sign up today.
Get ready to take good pictures for the coming holidays. Learn more about your digital camera, how to take pictures with your cell phone, how to email your pictures to friends and lots more. Instructor James Dunlap will be teaching a four-week class of basic photography for beginners during November on Thursdays 1 to 3 p.m. The classes will be held Nov. 1, 8, 15 and 29. There will not be a class Thanksgiving Week. The cost is $10 per student, and class size is limited so be sure to sign up soon.
All educational classes at the Fair Park Senior Center are sponsored by Hood Funeral Home.
The Eight Ball League signup is going on now until Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 12:30 p.m., at which time they will pick teams for the 2012 season. Dues are due at that meeting. If you cannot attend every week, maybe you would like to sub. Please sign up today on the league or sub list, which is located in the pool room at Fair Park Senior Center. For more information, call Mike Livingston at 788-6483.
Don't just sit at home. Come to Fair Park Senior Center, 1433 Livingston Rod., across from the fairgrounds. Check out their website at www.fairparkseniorcenter.org or call 484-7416.

NORMAN — Here's some good news on the tobacco front: Oklahoma's ranking of adults who choose to smoke has declined. We're now No. 39, instead of No. 47 nationally.
That's a significant shift, and time will tell whether it's a statistical glitch or fewer people are choosing to light up. The 2012 figures, the latest available, show 23 percent of Oklahomans smoke compared to 26 percent in 2011.
State health department officials said higher taxes on cigarettes and better cessation efforts are helping pull the numbers down. All of the hullaballoo about vapor cigarettes may be clouding some numbers, too.
We're seeing more and more smokers turn to the vapor cigarettes. The verdict is still out whether they are "healthier" than the traditional smokes. For sure, they are easier on non-smokers. At Sunday's Summer Breeze concert, you could see lots of vapor and very little smoke.

There are now genetic tests that can predict which breast cancer patients will benefit from chemotherapy, or which lung cancer patients will respond to newer drugs. But when it comes to radiation therapy, there are still a lot of unknowns. Local researchers are trying to change that.
When Bill Davis was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he had his choice of treatments,
"I chose radiation. I thought it would obviously be the lease invasive and at the same time, the quickest," said Davis.
But every choice has its drawbacks.
"Currently radiation therapy is typically dosed to patients as if everybody responded the same and yet we know from experience, clinical experience that that's not the case," said Dr. Kas Badiozamani, Virginia Mason.
Unfortunately, there's no way to predict who will experience bad side effects from radiation. Researchers are now working on a blood test that could someday provide the answers.
"This would then allow physicians, radiation oncologists treating cancer patient to better tailor their radiation therapy and minimize the side effects from radiation while maximizing the treatment for the tumor itself," said Dr. Mandy Paulovich, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
The pilot study is a collaboration between Fred Hutchinson and Virginia Mason. Bill is one of the first patients.
"To me it seemed like a no brainer. I'm benefitting from everything that's gone on before me and hopefully they'll find something positive or even negative on the effects of the radiation on the blood they can use with patients coming after me," said Paulovich.
About two- thirds of all cancer patients will actually receive radiation at some point in the course of their illness and using a simple blood test in this way could also prove to be a potentially cost effective way of improving their care.
Bill knows he won't benefit directly from the study, but he's optimistic about his own prognosis.
"Number one, it's the second most prevalent cancer in men, second only to skin cancer and number two, they got it really early," he said.
The study has just begun to recruit volunteers. Researchers are looking for newly diagnosed patients with cancers of the prostate, lung, esophagus, rectum, head, neck and cervix.
The test was originally developed to detect individual radiation exposure from nuclear power plant leaks or from a dirty bomb.

Point/Counterpoint - Tablets
Bill: Hey, Kyle, what do you think of tablets?
Kyle: Well, I think they are fine for storing commandments, but for computing, I think they are a bit limiting. I take it you probably think they are great.
Bill: I don't think they're great, but they certainly have come a long way. In the right setting, I can see how they'd be very useful. I'm thinking about getting one myself.
Kyle: See, when I use a computer, I tend to type a lot. I'm pretty particular about getting tactile feedback in my keyboards whether it's for a desktop (Model M thank you) or a laptop. Typing on a flat surface with no feedback just seems like a step backward.
Bill: I remember, you're all about the battleship keyboard. I know that having your keyboard survive a zombie insurrection is a major selling point for you. However, there's more to a tablet than just typing. Having an instant-on Web browser and mail client just kicking around would be very handy.
Kyle: You mean like a laptop that can suspend to RAM? Or a Netbook?
Bill: I have yet to see any laptop that's truly instant-on, even when suspended to RAM. They always take a few seconds to get on their feet. And even then, the form factor is different. A laptop or Netbook is the tool of choice for content creation, but for content consumption, I think a tablet might be the way to go. I know more often than not I'll reach for my iPhone if I need to check mail real quick. It's just faster and more convenient.
Kyle: See, that's just the point, I think the tablet has long been a solution in search of a problem. Now it has to compete with a smartphone for portable, underpowered computing, a Netbook for inexpensive portable computing, and a laptop or desktop for full-featured computing. Having a large fruit-named company create one (and new companies throw cell-phone software on their tablets) doesn't change that. I had a hybrid laptop that could rotate into tablet mode, and I think I used it maybe a handful of times, and even then, it was just as a novelty e-book reader.
Bill: I remember, but that laptop wasn't exactly a powerhouse either. And if I recall, it was running stock Ubuntu, which is not a portable-optimized OS like Android or iOS. I think your definition of computing is different from that of a lot of folks, Kyle. As a system administrator and writer, your use case depends on having multiple windows, a full-size keyboard, and the storage and horsepower of a conventional laptop. However, as iPad sales prove, there's a huge segment of the population who just wants to surf using tablets and play Angry Birds.
Kyle: Unless you are wearing some interesting jeans, a tablet isn't going to be any more portable than any other similarly underpowered Netbook, but you'll pay a premium for the fingerprint-smeared touchscreen and the lack of a keyboard. I think even surfing suffers on a tablet. However hyperlinked the Web might be, these days, people keep talking about everyone "contributing to the conversation" and other Web 2.0 terms. It's hard to do that just by touching and dragging on a screen.
Bill: Actually, SCOTTEVEST makes a vest that can hold an iPad in an internal pocket like a holster, but that's a little much even for me. Considering how I'd use a tablet, I wouldn't miss the keyboard. It wouldn't be my primary computing device, nor would it be what I reached for if I needed to do heavy work.
Kyle: And no matter how sophisticated your touchscreen keyboard is, it's still a keyboard on a flat surface with no tactile feedback. Plus, you lose a good portion of that tablet screen for it. I'd still love to see a picture of all of your active computing gear stacked on top of each other in size order. I think your iPad would fit somewhere on top of your small laptop but underneath your Netbook, Nokia pocket tablets and smartphones.
Bill: I think you can do more on a tablet than you realize. I've taken two trips with nothing but my iPhone and I actually survived just fine. A tablet would be nice to take on those trips for the great battery life and larger screen. For me, I think it fits between a laptop and iPhone nicely. You keep asking for pics of my computers. It's like you're just interested in me for my system porn. I HAVE A MIND TOO.
Kyle: I've taken a number of trips myself with just an N900, and the only things I've missed were a full-size keyboard and larger screen. Anything much larger than that, and you lose the real benefit of a portable smartphone. Basically, to me, anywhere you can take a tablet, you can take either a Netbook or a laptop. Although touchscreen interfaces are all the rage now, I still think they are really limited compared to a lot of the traditional input methods. In my mind, if you truly do want a tablet, the smart move is to invest in a convertible model, so you at least can get a proper hardware keyboard when you need one.
Bill: That's where a tablet fits in. I bring my Nook now on trips as a book, and it works great. If that device had a faster CPU, faster screen refresh and the ability to do a little more, I would carry it around constantly. I don't need it to do everything; I just need it to do 90% of everything. You can pair a Bluetooth keyboard to a tablet, and then you've got your proper hardware keyboard.
Kyle: For three hours until the battery dies, at least....
Bill: Three hours? Now you're resorting to hyperbole. The Galaxy Tab is good for seven, and the iPad is good for ten, according to specs and reviews I've seen. I know my Bluetooth keyboard batteries last a lot longer than either of those.
Kyle: The bottom line for me is that for completely portable (and touchscreen) computing, I have an N900 with a physical keyboard. For full-featured computing, I have a rather portable laptop. To me, and I imagine to most of the population, a tablet is nothing more than the third computer no one really needs.
Bill: I think the market proves your opinion to be wrong, Kyle. Apple sold 4.2 million iPads in the last quarter—4.2 million. There's a market for tablets and a use case for them. It may not be something you want, but the public's definitely interested, and so am I. I'm going to see what the next generation of iPad and Android tablets brings to the table before I pull the trigger on a purchase, but I definitely can see myself using one for light-duty computing.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

The NHL and NHL Players' Association, trying to come up with a new collective bargaining agreement before the league's owners vow to lock out the players a week from Saturday, met twice in New York today for what were described as informal discussions.
Wild center Zenon Konopka was one of three NHL players who attended the sessions, which he called for "educational purposes" rather than formal negotiations.
"We're getting down to the nitty gritty here, and we're trying to understand the league's proposal to the best of our ability and we're trying to explain ours to them. We're trying to find some common ground and something to build off.

My son is 11 years old but he is short for his age. He normally wears a size 10/12 in boys clothes, so I ordered him this jacket in a size 12. It has plenty of room to grow into, so we plan to use it next Spring when we go ski. It should fit him for two seasons unless he goes through a growth spurt. This Obermeyer jacket is very well made and looks very warm with thick insulation. At the same time, it's not bulky. My son loved it.
I found these Obermeyer ski pants to be really warm, so that was a nice surprise. They are a true red. As for the size, I normally wear 31 waist in all my pants, so with the size table on this pants lists small as 28-30 waist and medium is 32-34. But since the only size available was small I went for it. The good news is they fit me well, the bad news is I can´t gain a pound or they won´t fit.
The Obermeyer Switch Hat is comfortable, has a snug fit so it doesn't blow off in high winds. It's a bright orange that goes with other down garments I have. I'm an active backpacker and so I can use this hat year round.
Klaus Obermeyer knows how to make quality skiwear. These pants are my favorite and I am so glad that Peter Glenn had a pair in stock because I have worn out my previous pair. These pants have a great amount of stretch and adjustable waist. In short, these pants are fabulous. My previous pair of the Athena ski pant is 5 yrs old and still wearable, that is amazing considering I ski about 70 days a season. Thanks Sport Obermeyer and Peter Glenn.
This is a really nice winter jacket for boys. This ski jacket fits him nice, though it is very wide and does not have a draw around the bottom to tighten it. I am a little concerned about the wind blowing up the bottom of the coat, but if he is in snow pants and other winter gear, he should be fine. Overall it seems it will be very warm and durable for a few years of wear.
My son really enjoyed skiing in these pants. It was spring skiing in CO so we didn't test them during the midwest polar vortex, but they were very comfortable and adjustable. The bright color made him easy to see. I am returning them for a different color, however, b/c the lime green fabric snags and pills exceedingly easily making it look ragged and old. The pilling appeared almost immediately in random places under the jacket, between the legs, and near any velcro on the pants. The fabric also snags and thread tags appeared. This is not a shiny nylon but a softer, looser weave. Pretty, but it doesn't hold up very well all things considered. Based on customer service, I'm not the only one with this issue. CS was very helpful and gracious and are allowing me to exchange them for the red, which I have been told appears to be a different fabric and a tighter weave. I love that Obermeyer has I-Grow extendable cuffs.
This is probably one of the most beautiful ski jackets I have ever owned. It is well made, the color is gorgeous and it is functional. Definitely well worth the price. I also love the fact that it fits perfectly. Being only 5'3" and a size 10, this Obermeyer jacket is quite flattering.
We went skiing in the rain and my son stayed dry in these pants! Size runs slightly large.
These were just what I was looking for. They are insulated which makes them warm, but without being bulky. Very comfortable ski pant. The only problem that I had was the length. I am 5', and I had to order the regular length as the short length were out of stock. They were really too long for me, but with my ski boots on it was not a problem!
These ski pants are worth the price if you live in cold climate. in Canada Old Navy/Walmart crap just isn't gonna keep your kid warm and dry. You have to go with the name brand expensive stuff (which I hate to pay for but it's freezing/melting/freezing every few days) I bought a few sizes too HUGE and these fit generous compared to other brands but I roll the bottom straps to the smallest setting. My child is 43 inches tall, 45 lbs and 3.5 years old. I bought a size 7 for next winter lol. Yup, he looks funny but guess what kids grow, who woulda known?

— By Barrett Vanlandingham
I could definitely stand to be in better physical shape. A lot of my friends are constantly training for one race or another. A 5K here, a 10K there. Staying in shape is important. The same can be said for our spiritual shape.
Each of the New Testament writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul, James, Jude, and the unidentified writer of Hebrews) talk about the importance of staying faithful to God.
With so much attention given to this issue, the obvious question to ask would be, "Why is that important?" After all, in the world we live in today, obeying the commands of God who we haven't seen is not exactly the most popular way to spend our time. In fact, most people couldn't care less about walking a narrow path to a place they've only heard about (Matthew 7:13-14).
Even some Christians would go as far as to say that it is not important to even try to be good since we are saved by grace anyway. And while it is true that God's grace saves us, this does not give us a free pass to simply live life on our own terms and disregard God's will for us as New Testament Christians. The apostle Paul made that clear in Rom. 6:1-11 and Gal. 5:4.
Paul also warned Christians in Corinth that as they run the Christian race, they should run in a way to get the prize instead of running aimlessly. He encourages Christians to not fight spiritual battles like a boxer who just swats at the air. He says it is important for us to not only tell others about Christ, but to make sure we ourselves are also staying fit spiritually.
"No, I beat my body and make it a slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize (1 Cor. 9:27)."
Paul knew what it was like to butt heads with God. It didn't work very well for him (Acts 9) and it will not work very well for us either. Maybe that's why he wrote so much on this topic after he became a Christian.
The apostle Peter also encourages Christians to stay faithful til the end. He goes as far as to say that we should be careful what we believe about Scripture because of how some people distort the meaning of the message.
"Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen (2 Peter 3:17-18)."
God promises to reward your earnest efforts in running the race and seeking him (Hebrews 11:6). This verse and many others in the New Testament disqualify half-hearted attempts to please God. Spend some time in fervent prayer everyday, asking God to guide your steps. You will surely notice a big difference in your life, and in the lives of those you come in contact with. Have a blessed week!

(UPDATE 5:58 a.m., Oct. 22, 2012) — A second St. Louis Park Boy Scout Troop has been identified as a Scout troop that expelled a member because of suspicions of sexual abuse.
In a public database released by the Los Angeles Times Friday, the newspaper reported that it had identified information on a person associated with St. Louis Park Troop 379 who was later "expelled from the Boy Scouts of America between 1947 and January 2005 on suspicion of sexual abuse."
The newspaper reports the case was filed in 1984, but offered no additional information about the case.
This report comes in addition to reports last week that a St. Louis Park man in 1970 resigned as a Scout Leader from the Boy Scouts' Troop 307 in St. Louis Park after he admitted in a statement that he asked four Scouts to masturbate in front of him.
The Times also reported two cases had been filed in neighboring Edina Boy Scout Troop 68—in 1998 and 2000. Details were unavailable on those cases as well.
St. Louis Park Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.
- - -
(OCTOBER 20, 2012) — A St. Louis Park man in 1970 resigned as a Scout Leader from the Boy Scouts' Troop 307 in St. Louis Park after he admitted in writing to encouraging several Boy Scouts under his purview to masturbate in front of him.
The man was identified in a confidential file released Friday dubbed the "perversion files," for being connected to allegations of sexual abuse and homosexuality in the Boy Scouts of America.
The man was confronted about this behavior with several Boy Scouts between January-March in that year, after which he resigned. It is unknown whether the man was ever criminally charged.
The files were released Thursday by order of the Oregon Supreme Court. They were used as evidence in a 2010 lawsuit against the Scouts in a molestation case that resulted in a jury awarding $20 million to a man molested by an assistant scoutmaster in the 1980s.
The files include the names of more than 1,200 people from across the country, including 23 from Minnesota, whom the Boy Scouts suspected might be child abusers.
Because many of the men listed in the "perversion files" have not been charged or convicted of crimes, some media outlets, including the Boston Globe, have refrained from naming them without further investigating the allegations.
The files are publicly available, and you can find them here.
Scoutmaster Resigned After Being Confronted About Behavior
In the St. Louis Park case, the then-47-year-old Scout leader submitted a letter of resignation on March 30, 1970, in which he described himself first asking inappropriate questions of his Scouts about their sexual behaviors, and then asking four Scouts to masturbate in front of him. The four Scouts refused, he wrote.
The man had held various leadership roles in the pack between 1965-70. He was married and had two sons and a daughter at the time.
In his resignation letter, he wrote:
"It was my method of striking back at some of my family problems. I stopped [asking questions] after the last boy as I became aware it was a form of embarrassment to the boy ... I don't recall the exact questions verbatim, but they were all related to his personal sex habits of which I realize now are none of my business.
"I used my trust as a Scout leader in talking with the boy and realized that I betrayed that trust. The boys that performed this for me [redacted], [redacted], [redacted] and [redacted] all refused. I asked them to stimulate to erection and masturbate in front of me."
The letter was witnessed by four members of the Minneapolis Viking Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The Council forwarded the letter to its national headquarters, at which point the national organization wrote:
"We have placed this information in our file. This will certainly enable us to identify (him) should he ever again attempt to register in the Scouting program."
Patch Associate Regional Editor Scott Fagerstrom contributed to this report.

Valpo Sweeps IUPUI in Key Mid-Con Battle
Friday, October 13, 2006Four Crusaders finished will double-digit kills and three more had double-digit digs as the Brown and Gold swept IUPUI 30-26, 30-24, 30-25 Friday night at the Athletics-Recreation Center in a matchup of two of the Mid-Continent Conference's top four teams.
Valpo hit .317 in the second and third games combined after posting just a .078 attack percentage in game one, committing only ten errors in the final two games. The Crusaders had more kills, 51-41, more digs, 61-56, and more blocks, 10-6, on the night than the Jaguars and opened up a 1.5 game lead for third place over their instate rival.
Jessie Fox (Granger, Ind./Penn) stayed on her late tear, reaching double-digit kills for the eighth straight match with an even 10, thanks to six in game two. Fox made only one error on the night, and is hitting a team-leading .326 in conference play this season.
Fox was joined in double-digits by three teammates, starting with sophomore Allison Sears (Elkhart, Ind./Memorial) who had a team-high 12 kills to go with a match-high six blocks. Those six blocks give the sophomore 73 on the season, second on the team behind junior Nicole Schulz (Kewaskum, Wis./Kettle Moraine Lutheran) who had four blocks Friday night to go along with 10 kills of her own. Angie Porché (Lynwood, Ill./Thornton-Fractional South) was the fourth Valpo player in double-digits with 11 kills giving her an even 250 on the season, tops on the team and second in the Mid-Con.
Defensively, the Brown and Gold held IUPUI to a .122 hitting percentage thanks to more strong backline play from Brittany Marks (Elkhart, Ind./Memorial). Valpo's sophomore libero had 21 digs on the night, her third straight match with at least 20 digs and the tenth time this season she's reached that plateau. Joining her in back was freshman Val Bollenbacher (Bremen, Ind./Bremen) who had 11 digs to match a career-high and junior Heidi Hammond (Crown Point, Ind./Merrillville) who had 10.
Carol Newell led all players with 13 kills for the Jaguars (6-15, 2-3 Mid-Con) who fell to the Crusaders for the seventh straight time since 2003. Lauren Konopka chipped in eight kills, six digs and two blocks for the visitors.
Valpo (13-7, 4-2 Mid-Con) gets a break from conference play Saturday night when they square off with Chicago State at 7:00 p.m. at the ARC. Live coverage of Saturday's match is available on 95.1 FM, WVUR, and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

NorCal HS MTB League vs. USA Cycling categories?
Not sure if this should go in MTB or Juniors. I'll start here in MTB. :)
My daughter races Varsity in the NorCal High School MTB League. These are not USA Cycling races, but it's where tons of junior cross country racing action happens.
If she were to place high enough at the state championship race -- actually a qualifier for USA Cycling XC Nats -- they map that Varsity result to Cat 1 / expert Nationals qualification.
Meanwhile, she's interested in racing other, non-NorCal XC qualifiers, like Sea Otter, to try to assure her spot at Nats. USA Cycling has her as Cat 2, since she doesn't have official USA Cycling XC results for a USA Cycling upgrade. (She does have four top-five NorCal Sophomore finishes, however.)
Can she just sign up for Cat 1 at Sea Otter, or is this forbidden without an official USA Cycling upgrade? On the flip side, if she qualifies at the NorCal state championships as Varsity / Cat 1, is she forced to ride Cat 1 at Nats, does she have a choice of Cat 1 / Cat 2 at Nats, or is she forced to ride Cat 2 since she hasn't had an official USA Cycling upgrade?
(We have a question in by e-mail to Jan at USA Cycling earlier this week, but got a vacation message with no other response yet.)
Thanks for your help!

In a 3-2 vote, Belmont City Council denied the application of Crystal Springs Uplands School (CSUS) to build a middle school campus on Davis Drive on Tuesday.
"We are very disappointed in the City Council's decision, but would like to thank the Belmont community for its overwhelming support of our school," said a representative of CSUS.
The singular motion that brought the project to an abrubt halt centered around the General Plan Amendment, which would have allowed the city to rezone the Davis Drive office park property that is currently designated as industrial, to commercial to accommodate the school campus.
Councilmembers Warden, Wozniak and Feierbach voted "yes" on the motion to deny the application; Councilmembers Leiberman and Braunstein voted "no" on the motion.
"We need more commercial property in our community, not more schools," said Councilmember Christine Wozniak.
The motion was made by Feierbach after more than two hours of discussion and public comment. Approximately 15 members addressed the council; most were in favor of the project.
Wozniak said that changing the city's General Plan to allow for the school to take the place of the former commercial buildings would make it easier to change again.
"I don't believe in changing the General Plan for one applicant, because when we make that change, we are changing the vision for our community," said Wozniak.
Mayor Dave Warden was also against changing the General Plan, but said he struggled with his decision.
"I want to do the right thing, but there's no right answer here. It's a land use issue, it's a planning issue. I have to draw on my knowledge of the community, and this comes down to putting a middle school in the middle of a business park," said Warden.
After nearly two-and-a-half hours of discussion and public comment Councilmember Feierbach made a motion.
"I move that we direct staff to prepare a resolution to deny the application for a General Plan amendment," said Feierbach, which essentially made any discussion of the other four project entitlements moot since the rezoning of the property was the cornerstone of the entire application.
Feierbach read from a prepared statement prior to making the motion, in which she outlined her reasoning for not supporting the application. Her reasons included loss of tax revenue and increased traffic on Ralston Avenue.
"I was enthusiastic about the project in the beginning, but then started looking at all of these other things," said Feierbach.
She added that the mailers sent out by CSUS and the discussions that took place on Belmont Patch also turned her away from the project.
"I couldn't recover from it," she said.
Councilmembers Warren Lieberman and David Braunstein each said they still had some reservations about the project, but were open to further discussion.
Lieberman said he thought the General Plan Amendment should be considered in close alignment with the project's Development Agreement, which outlines the legal and monetary aspects of the application. Part of the Development Agreement included a one time payment of $1 million to the city, and $250,000 per year to offset the loss of property taxes.
"The positive incremental revenue that would be generated from CSUS would allow us to take on projects we might not otherwise be able to do, such as turf the Belmont Sports Complex," said Lieberman.
And David Braunstein stressed the weight of the issue on council.
"You have no idea how seriously we take this issue and how many hours we've put into it. Your input is not lost on us," Braunstein said to the audience and the applicant.
"At the end of the day, I can see where it would make sense to allow CSUS to come to Belmont. With businesses on Davis Drive and CSUS, we can get into a win-win situation," added Braunstein.
Mayor Dave Warden said he had received more than 350 emails and dozens of phone calls about the project.
"At the end of the day, both sides have compelling reasons for being for or against the project. And I've tried to weigh them, but I have to justify my decision, and it is my decision. This has been a torturous process for me," said Warden.

Getting to Know: Paul Thompson
Thursday, 11.15.2012 / 6:00 AM / Features
By Brooks Bratten
During his collegiate career at New Hampshire, Paul Thompson had a knack for showing up on the scoresheet. The winger was named Hockey East Player of the Year his senior season, notching a league-leading 52 points. Entering into his second full season of professional hockey, Thompson has been putting up points once again.

The Wilkes-Barre Scranton forward is the club's leading scorer, with six goals and nine points through 12 games this season-including a hat trick on Nov 4 against Bridgeport. Thompson was anxious to get off to a strong start for the Pens, and wants to build on his experiences from last year.
"I think I just learned throughout the course of the year that you've got to come to the rink to work every day as hard as you possibly can," Thompson said at training camp. "That's something that stuck with me and I think I developed a lot last year. I'm looking forward to getting started here."
After going through it last year, Thompson knew what to expect coming into training camp this season. It's something that made things easier for the Methuen, Massachusetts native the second time around.
"You know what (the coaching staff is) expecting and how you're expected to play every day," Thompson said. "It's definitely a bit easier just knowing what to expect coming to the rink every day."
It didn't necessarily come easy last season for Thompson, as he struggled at times to get acclimated to the pro game. He was sent down to Wheeling for a contest last year before getting called back to WBS. Making the transition from college to the pros is something where Thompson realized he had to adjust to in order to succeed.
"It becomes a job and it's something you literally have to work for every day to stay where you are," Thompson said. "Your goal is always to move up, (but) especially to stay where you are, it's not easy. It's just something that you have to get used to."
Things got better for Thompson, as he finished the campaign in WBS with 10 goals and 25 points to his name. The 6-foot, 200-pound forward admits that he had to change his style once arriving in Wilkes-Barre, realizing he wasn't always going to score the big goals.
"I had to develop into just more of an all-around player and be able to do some of the little things, that at school, I didn't necessarily have to do to have success," Thompson said. "At this level, you need to do those things. It took me some time, a little longer than I wanted, but I think I developed pretty well."
Thompson is pleased with his situation in year two. He loves being around the rest of the team on and off the ice, and the tight-knit group helps to make things fun. And the organization itself isn't bad either.
"I just think from top to bottom, we've got a great group of guys," Thompson said. "The management and all the coaches are really good guys and really personable. It makes things a lot easier."
Points are coming easier for Thompson as well. Just like in New Hampshire.

Pretty good for an undrafted guy. And he's from BV / Coach Bob territory.

Each week, Patch combs through the more shocking, surprising and often absurd alleged criminal acts and police-related incidents that unfold throughout New Jersey. Here's what went on this week for "OMGs from NJ PD."
You Don't Say … : We recommend exercising the right to remain silent next time you're confronted by cops for allegedly harassing a bar bouncer. Unfortunately, one 24-year-old man took another route, telling Morristown Police That's probably an understatement, considering police had to resort to leg irons to get the man under control and under arrest.
Cattle Constitutional: Why did the cows cross the road? The bovines were unavailable for comment, but has a theory: "It was just some dopey cows that decided to go out for a walk." Hey, give them some credit. The Holmdel cow trio allowed themselves to be corralled before they got onto the parkway and were charged as toll scofflaws.
Jet Set Money Takes Flight: We'll hand it to the burglars who broke into a Woodbridge condo—they're thorough. The burglars managed to find a huge stash of . Points off, though, for missing another $600 hidden in a suit pocket. If the Woodbridge Police ever find the burglars, we gotta know: Why not just steal the suitcases too for a smooth getaway on wheels?
This Is a Nerf Stickup: Do you think it's more embarrassing to walk away from a robbery without any cash or to the taunts of your victims when they realize ? You can ask a Westville man in about five years. That's the sentence he's facing for trying to rob a Deptford Wawa, only to have his toy gun give him away. The fake gun led to some very real charges and the 39-year-old will learn his fate in October.
It Wasn't (Hiccup) Me Driving: You know those moments when a flash of genius hits you and what looked like a bad situation is suddenly saved by your quick-thinking brilliance? Yeah, neither does one 26-year-old woman. Toms River Police say the woman from Lanoka Harbor crashed into another car while allegedly driving under the influence. She calmly waited at the scene for police—. The woman reportedly told police someone else was driving the car. Unable to find the phantom chauffeur, police arrested the woman.
Not Quite a Seamless Getaway: A Pennsylvania man pressed his luck one too many times when he r by turning them into a hiding place for stolen hooch. It was the 44-year-old man's second day in a row of alleged liquor stealing, the South Orange store owner told police. Next time, maybe he should try camouflage pants. Zing! Thank you folks, we'll be here all week. Try the veal!
No Pictures, Please: No one likes red-light cameras, those pesky tattletales that get you if you misjudge a yellow light. But someone in Newark really, really doesn't like them. two of the city's cameras recently. But authorities are having trouble tracking down the suspect because any photographic evidence went kaput with the gunfire.
The Wet Nap Bandits: Maybe one 27-year-old and 19-year-old just needed a ride to the store and wanted to leave the car they allegedly stole in tiptop shape. Maybe they're extremely concerned about germs. Either way, of the stolen car landed them in a much grimier place: a jail cell. After a citizen spotted the men suspiciously detailing the car at a Toms River Foodtown, a tip to police led to their arrest and the recovery of the car, reported stolen earlier.

Pro Cycling Challenge
Patience, Caution Advised for Race Fans and Hunters this Weekend
Thousands of fans are still flocking to get a glimpse of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, as the riders make their way through the northern and central mountains. But traffic delays and other hazards are still a concern for this weekend.
People have been camping along various stages of the race since things began on Monday. They've been advised to take precautions because of traffic and for aggressive bears in the Aspen area. But there's another potential risk this weekend. The race winds through Routt, Grand and Eagle Counties – just as archery season begins in Colorado.
"On Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th, the race will be coming through an area where hunters are going to be heading to their campsites," says Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Mike Porras. "So we caution not only bike race fans, but we also caution hunters that they're likely to experience some traffic delays."
Stage 4 of the race finishes in downtown Steamboat on Friday. Cyclists begin stage 5 Saturday morning from there and make their way to Breckenridge, before finishing in Golden and Denver on Sunday.
Spectator information and traffic impacts of the race can be found at this resource courtesy of the Colorado Department of Transportation: COtrip USAPCC site

Today will be the coldest day of the week, but we will gradually warm through the week and Friday will be the warmest day.
We'll start today with sun but finish with clouds. The high will be near 30, but you will want to dress for wind chills around 20 because it will be a breezy day. While you're sleeping tonight, a passing snow shower or two is possible and could coat the ground or your car, so be mindful of that as you head out to work or school Tuesday morning.
There will be plenty of clouds around on Tuesday, but some sun could break through at times. Another passing snow shower is possible Tuesday night, so you may need that snow brush again Wednesday morning.
Wednesday will be another breezy day. We should reach 40 degrees or slightly above with sun and clouds, but the wind will make it feel more like the low 30s. Thursday will be similar but with less wind.
Thursday night into Friday morning, temperatures will rise into the mid-40s. This is because a cold front will be approaching from the west, and warmer air usually precedes a cold frontal passage.
This cold front will be interacting with a storm system moving up from the south, perhaps our next nor'easter, and will bring us periods of rain, sleet, and wet snow through the day on Friday. Temperatures could drop back into the 30s once the precipitation begins. I'm not expecting any snow or ice accumulation in the Delaware Valley, but be prepared for a sloppy day.
Right now, the weekend looks great! Saturday and Sunday will feature bright sunshine as high pressure takes over with high temperatures 40-45.
Be sure to check out Phillyweather.net throughout the week for updates on Friday's storm!

The Salem News
---- — SALEM — Former City Councilor Lucy Corchado has emerged as a possible candidate to succeed City Council President Joan Lovely, who announced that she will step down in January after her landslide election this week to the Massachusetts Senate.
Corchado, a former Ward 1 councilor and Point neighborhood activist, said yesterday that she would be willing to fill out the remaining year of Lovely's two-year term as a councilor-at-large.
"I have been approached by some folks," she said. "... I would be interested, yes."
The unexpected emergence of Corchado, who served from 2004 to 2007, throws one more name into a mad scramble to fill Lovely's seat.
So far, most of the talk has focused on former Councilor-at-large Steve Pinto, who was knocked out of office a year ago after serving four years, and restaurant owner Darek Barcikowski, who is active in local and national politics but has never held public office in Salem. He was the runner-up in last year's councilor-at-large election.
In that race, Lovely topped the ticket and was one of four councilors elected to at-large seats. Barcikowski came in just out of the running in fifth place, with Pinto close behind in sixth.
Both Pinto and Barcikowski said yesterday that they are eyeing the seat.
"Yes, I'm interested, absolutely," said Pinto, who reportedly has strong support from several current councilors.
Barcikowski, who was Lovely's campaign manager in the recent state Senate campaign, said, "I have made my intentions known to councilors that if the opportunity were to arise, I would be honored to fill Joan's seat."
Behind the scenes, there is a lot of maneuvering and lobbying under way, and also a search for precedents or traditions that might guide the vote.
Should it go to the runner-up in the last election, the precedent used in filling a recent School Committee vacancy? Should it go to a veteran councilor who will not seek re-election? Should it go to the best-qualified person, whether he or she has held office or not?
"The way I read the (city) charter, there is no precedent," Ward 3 Councilor Todd Siegel said. "The charter makes it perfectly clear I can vote for whomever I want."
A city ordinance says a councilor-at-large vacancy is filled by a majority vote of the remaining members of the City Council. In this case, 10 councilors will be eligible to vote, meaning the winner will need six votes.
In at least two past instances, the City Council has chosen a former councilor.
That happened in 2006, when former Councilor Mark Blair replaced Ward 6 Councilor Mike Bencal, who resigned in the wake of an ethics violation. In that case, Blair pledged not to run for re-election, a fact that several councilors said influenced their decision to support him.
In 1985, former Councilor John Butler was picked to fill in for Jean-Marie Rochna, who left to head the Salem Council on Aging. Although Butler said the vote was not contingent on his not running again, he did not seek re-election.
The current Ward 4 Councilor, Jerry Ryan, said he remembers that vote well. Butler is his uncle.
Ryan said he "most likely" will follow the precedent of selecting a former councilor.
Ward 7 Councilor Joe O'Keefe, the council dean, said he expects to support Barcikowski — at least in the first round of voting — because he was the runner-up in last year's election and the next qualified candidate in line.
"If he cannot secure the necessary six votes, I would offer in nomination Lucy Corchado as an interim," O'Keefe said. "I believe it would be wise and prudent for us to think about Lucy if we were at loggerheads. She assures me she would not run for re-election" in the next city election.
Barcikowski said he has spoken to several councilors about the decision and has been led to believe that the 2011 election results will be a key factor.
"Most of the city councilors I have spoken to are looking at last year's election ... whether it's myself or Steve Pinto," he said. "... That's again based on my conversations with them. That's my understanding — they're looking at last year's election."
Of course, between now and January, other candidates and issues are likely to emerge.
One factor, for example, brought up by several people yesterday is that when Lovely departs, there will be no women on the 11-member body. That could force councilors to take a hard look at any of several former female councilors.

A man staggered into a Minneapolis bar around 1 a.m. Sunday, and the bartender thought he was asking for a shot.
The man was actually saying he had been shot.
Luckily for the shooting victim, a 22-year-old whose name has not been released by police, Maxwell's American Pub was filled with nurses that night, the Star Tribune reported. Three different groups of nurses just happened to be inside the establishment, with a total of six nurses in all.
Psychiatric nurse Tim Carew, 40, told the Tribune that the man, who was suffering from six gunshot wounds, was "leaking blood" and that "he needed to lay down or risk going into shock."
Carew said the nurses applied pressure using bar towels and used the victim's belt to make a tourniquet. They were able to successfully slow the bleeding until paramedics arrived to transport the man to a hospital. Nurses who had gotten blood on them were later tested to make sure they had not contracted any diseases.
Maxwell's picked up the tab for all the nurses present.
The shooting had occurred at Bobby and Steve's Auto World, about a block away from Maxwell's, WCCO reported. Police told the station that shots were exchanged between two cars before a security guard joined in the fray.
According to the Star Tribune, the wounded man was not one of the shooters.
The unidentified man will reportedly survive the shooting, which EMT Kyle Murdock -- who was not involved in this incident -- says is extremely lucky, given the circumstances.
"There's a huge risk of infection when you are treating someone in a non-sterile environment," Murdock told The Huffington Post. "Obviously he would have died without intervention, but an infection from non-sterile treatment could still kill him after."
Also on HuffPost:
Helen Collins
In April 2012, 81-year-old John Collins suffered a heart attack while flying his small plane over Wisconsin. His wife, Helen, 80, was in the passenger's seat. Helen had no pilot's license, and had only undergone basic take-off and landing training thirty years prior. But with fuel running low and the right engine out, Helen calmly landed the plane, with assistance from aviation officials. Tragically, John Collins passed away that day. Helen suffered a back injury and cracked rib, and has since gained national attention for her unbelievable poise and control.
