Cooperstown Crier
---- — The Cooperstown's girls basketball team used a 9-0 start to get a lead on Hamilton it never relinquished on Friday, winning, 59-37, at home.
"I wish I could say we never looked back after that point, but they stayed around all game," Cooperstown coach Mike Niles said. "You might not know from the score, but they played us tough. They always do."
Despite losing its first game of the season to end 2012 (to Holland Patent, 34-31, at the VVS Holiday Tournament), Cooperstown (7-1, 3-0) was undefeated in Center State Conference Division III, going into Wednesday night's game against Sauquoit Valley. The game was not completed by press time.
Against Hamilton, freshman point guard Liz Millea led all scorers with 18 points, while Nicole Cring and Alannah Haggerty had 11 and 10 rebound, respectively.
"I think the biggest thing for us was we were working really well guarding in half court defense," Niles said. "Nicole and Alannah were getting lots of rebounds and that helped our offense."
Haggerty had all nine of her rebounds in the first half, including five in the first quarter. She also scored nine points.
Cring had six points and two blocks to go with her rebounds.
Sumer Murdoch and Maggie Hall scored 10 points each.
Hamilton lost longtime standout Katie Weeks to graduation in 2012, but still gave the Redskins trouble, Niles said.
"The Weeks father (Gary) is the coach there now. He said she had offers for scholarships for basketball and softball, but she is actually doing crew at Lafayette College," Niles said. "Of course, they still have her sister."
"You wouldn't know from the score," he continued, "but their guards gave us trouble all game. It was not relaxing."
Hayleigh Hansen scored 11 points to lead the Emerald Knights, while Jess Welch scored 10, and Lauren Weeks scored eight.
The weather allowed only one day of a holiday tournament, but in the VVS Holiday Tournament on Dec. 28, the Redskins lost to HP. Both teams had leads in the final quarter and with the lead changing hands several times in the closing minutes.
Niles said the difference was the Golden Knights relentless switching of zone defenses.
"I think I was caught off guard by how much they changes defenses," he said. "They mixed defense very well.
"They are class B, but it seems like they are always blocked," Niles said of HP's playoff chances. "They are very good. I don't know if they are good enough to beat one of the Syracuse teams."
Cooperstown will play host Vernon-Verona-Sherrill on Jan. 23 in the consolation game of the VVS Holiday Tournament.
Cooperstown will travel to Sherburne-Earlville on Friday and will host Mohawk on Tuesday.
Cooperstown 59, Hamilton 37
HAMILTON: Jess Welch 4 0-0 10, Lauren Weeks 3 0-0 8, Sarah Foster 1 0-0 2, Teanna Wilcox 2 0-0 4, Hayleigh Hansen 3 5-7 11, Kendall Rusch 1 0-0 2, Bridgette Blaine 0 0-1 0. TOTALS: 14 5-8 37.

City shops report Boxing Day business boom
9:30am Friday 28th December 2012 in News
TRADERS in Oxford reported an increase in footfall as shoppers swamped the sales on Boxing Day.
The city's Westgate Shopping Centre said 20,000 people visited – an eight per cent rise on last year. Westgate general manager Brendan Hattam said: "We're delighted that Westgate Shopping Centre Oxford has performed strongly once again over the Christmas period.
"The centre has been very busy with shoppers since mid-November and footfall has risen steadily in the run up to Christmas.
"As the sales get under way, there is a real buzz in the centre with people looking to take advantage of the fantastic discounts on offer.
"We expect good numbers of shoppers from now through to the New Year."
Mr Hattam said he did not know why there had been a rise, because the centre had not done anything differently since Boxing Day 2011. Independent shops in the city, many of which were closed on Boxing Day, also reported a successful day yesterday.
Mark Leech, from tailors Ede & Ravenscroft in the High Street, said they had a busy morning on Thursday.
He said: "It has been busy, although it's tailed off for lunch now."
But business was not booming everywhere. Tenants in the Covered Market reported a quiet day's trading yesterday.
Gillian Senior, who owns The Hat Box, said: "It's been slow, looking outside the shop I can only see about 10 people in the market.
"Then again, not everybody is open today."

Peter Cohan, Contributor
I write about tech stocks and the startup economy.
If you add up all the workers who have died to build your iPhone or iPad, the number is shockingly high.
Apple (AAPL), at $416 billion it's the world's most valuable tech company, gets you to feel good about paying $600 for an iPad. And despite being priced more than twice as high as Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle, people bought 15.4 million iPads (14% above analysts' estimates) in the last quarter.
But those popular devices come at a human price — some of the low-paid workers who built them got their skin burned off or jumped to their deaths. Would you be willing to boycott Apple to stop the carnage?
Thursday morning, the New York Times published the results of a lengthy investigation into the manufacturing practices of Apple suppliers, Chengdu, China-based Foxconn and Wintek. Adding up the carnage from a combination of factory explosions and suicides cited in the article, 23 people died to build your iPhone or iPad and 273 were injured.
Of these, the most horrible reported by the Times was Lai Xiaodong — a college educated manager who was planning to marry. Mr. Lai's face was burned off along with the skin on 90% of his body thanks to a May 2011 explosion at an iPad factory caused by a well-known problem — an abundance of aluminum dust — where he managed a team of workers polishing iPad screens. Mr. Lai took two days to die of his burns.
But the toll of death and injury from building your iWorld includes more people, such as:
Does Apple care about this? It absolutely appears to care about the impact it could have on its image among those self-congratulating customers who think so highly of themselves as they run their fingers over the carefully polished screens of their high-priced handheld devices.
To that end, the Times reports that Apple has conducted supplier audits and published the results on its web site. At the same time, Apple pushes its suppliers to manufacture huge volumes with little notice at very low costs and razor-thin profit margins. And every year it requires those suppliers to reduce their prices by 10%, reports the Times.
Needless to say, this is good for Apple's bottom line. Earlier this week, it reported 73% growth in revenues to $46.3 billion and profit of $13.1 billion for the quarter — more than double the year before's. And Apple's market value is now at $416 billion, making it the world's most valuable technology company.
Since you're already paying such a high premium for the privilege of owning an Apple product, would you mind paying even more for Apple to take enough pressure off of its suppliers so they could treat their workers more like people? Or would you be willing to go on a buyer's strike to get Apple to require its suppliers to give workers a safe place to work and reasonable working conditions?
How many have died building tobacco empires over the past century?
23/ 15 million = basically zero.
More people probably died driving to the Apple store to buy them.
It's nice to see you have such a cold view of humanity. What if those 23 you dismiss were your friends and family members?
You've missed the point. How convenient that the idealist lovers of their Apple products wink at such inconveniences as people subject to what is tantamount to slave labor in dangerous working conditions would rather burn their time screaming about the oppressed conditions in the US! Yes, the pictures of the 99% rabble with their IPads, phones, etc., has polluted the brand — little did we know it was already polluted. Now what, you moralists?
Where is the morally superior 99% crowd? Hello, hello, hello; is there anybody out there?
You ask a good question. Would I be willing to boycott Apple because of the deaths associated to their products?
Well before I feed into my own and your righteous indignation. Let's remind ourselves that apple is not the only client of Foxcomm or the only maker of smartphones. Samsung alone shipped more than 30 million Android knockoffs of the iPhone, that are flooding the market. These Android based phones along with others have added to Foxcomms workload as well. Samsung and other smartphone makers that "ape" Apples touch metaphor are more guilty of the deaths you are associating to the iPhone.
Apple's pricing is one that should be encouraged because it keeps demand down, even if their margins are high. A smartphone should not be priced as an implus buy. Demand for the iPhone has been unbelievable and Android phone makers know this and if millions will buy a phone at 400-800$ certainly they'll buy a plastic close copy of a hot device for half the cost of the original.
So if you are truly enraged about the deaths at Foxcomm. Write a story that invites the makers of Android knockoffs to discontinue flooding the market with low cost phones that undercut the original device. Tell phone companies to stop subsidizing phones to get as many in the hands of customers as possible. Tell governments hungry to put its people to work to stop exploiting their citizens to greed an the capitalist machine. But those questions are too big to explore, they ask to much of us to really change. All we want is our "pinch to zoom" our GPS, and music on the go!
Frankly I'm not mad at anyone making money in this economic environment. I think Apple has been as upfront about their suppliers and vocal about the conditions workers should be exposed to. Apples products along with the joy and accolades they receive from their users is much deserved, and I believe the upfront nature they've handled their responsibility is commendable, I hope it continues. But until the responsibility of the deaths is explored with equal measure, boycotting anyone company wouldn't seem to really address the underlining problem. In fact I think we all are guilty of contributing to the death of those workers our techno lust for the next great thing contributed to those deaths. So look in the mirror or your smartphone for the true guilty parties.
Excellent comment! Thank you for putting things into perspective! :)
Dumb reporters! Almost f**ing idiots! Why don't they investigate Samsung's factory! They will find out Foxconn is a paradise comparing to Samsung's shady factory! Sabotage the greatest American company and yet let the foreign competitions slip by!!! Incredibly stupid!
greatest American company? Name 1 apple product Made in US!!
Not very convincing…How about boycotting Samsung, Dell, Amazon, etc? All their devices are assembled at Foxconn. Apple is just 23% of Foxconn production. Did americans boycotted the Golden Gate Bridge or Empire State building because people (10 and 5 respectively) died there?
I sense a media attack here. Perhaps Apple TV is getting closer…

Oskaloosa Herald
October is Cyber Crime Awareness Month and Oskaloosa police officials want you to be careful with your online activities.
The topic of cyber crime can range from child pornography to hacking and stealing government secrets. However, Oskaloosa police officers deal with primarily identity theft, child pornography and any crime associated with the Internet such as harassment.
"We do a presentation at the police department for groups who want to learn about identity theft," Lt. Troy Boston said. Boston said any groups interested in a presentation about the topic can contact him at the police department.
"Iowa ranks 43rd in identity theft in the U.S.," Boston said of the number of incidents of identity theft. Crime trends tend to start on the East and West coasts and move inland, so numbers in the Midwest are expected to climb in the future, he said.
Florida, Texas, California and Georgia are the top states for identity theft, Boston said.
"A lot of identity thefts don't get reported," he said.
If you suspect you are a victim of identity theft, you should contact the Credit Bureau right away. You also should get a credit score every six months, Boston said.
If you use a debit card a lot, Boston advises that you should check your balance two to three times a week.
"Those cards do get hacked," he added.
Boston also advises people not to open emails from addresses you do not recognize. Also, there are many email scams that ask people to send money to a certain address or bank account. He said that a request to wire money is a big red flag. If someone provides a routing number to send money, Boston said a bank can check the account number.
Boston advises people to be on their guard when online.
"Identity theft people, they're getting very sophisticated and very good," he said. Some identity thieves can create bogus websites to draw people in, he added.
In the realm of child pornography, the crime is evolving.
"The bad guys are moving from home computers to smart phones," Boston said.
"Sexting" obscene photos on a smart phone is a common child pornography offense and it tends to be predominantly a problem with teens and people in their 20s, but some people in the 30s and 40s commit it too, he said.
"We encourage people to be cautious about what they're doing," Boston said.

The Bucks County Redevelopment Authority's Board of Directors awarded nearly $4 million worth of gaming grants to the Levittown-area communities that are directly impacted by Parx Casino.
The impact grants have awarded millions of dollars to Lower Bucks County towns. The authority said in a release that they asked townships surrounding Bensalem - where Parx is based - and the county to submit grant request for their most pressing projects which need funding.
Bristol Borough was awarded $194,644 for the purchase of a wastewater jet truck. The trucks are often used to clear obstructions and blockages from pipes.
Bristol Township was granted $220,000 to upgrade emergency radio systems for the town's first responders. The township also received $597,431 to retrofit street lights to new, more efficient LED bulbs. The township was the largest municipal recipient of funds.
Falls Township, which runs the multi-agency Lower Bucks SWAT Team, received just over $55,000 for new uniforms, bullet-proof vests and other equipment. The team responds to calls around the area and is made up of officers from several local towns.
Langhorne Borough got $38,326 to purchase a new vehicle for its small police force.
The Lower Bucks County Public Safety Training Center on the campus of Bucks County Community College in Bristol Township was granted $800,000.
Middletown Township got just over $106,000 to replace 3 police vehicles in its fleet. A sum of $26,541 was also set aside for a new vehicle for the detective unit. The public works department received $77,981 for a township fueling station. Dump trucks and a sign machine are expected to be purchased with an additional $144,753 grant. The Fire Marshal's office will also get $51,000 for a new vehicle. Emergency radios will be acquired using a $212,000 gift.
The regional Towns Against Graffiti program was the recipient of a $74,350. The money is set to go toward graffiti and litter removal.
The Bucks County Children's Advocacy Center in Warrington and the Bucks County Health Improvement Partnership Health Clinic in Bensalem both received funding.
Bensalem and Lower Southampton townships also received financial rewards for several of their proposals.
The Bristol-based redevelopment authority said that local governments submitted about 40 requests totaling over $8 million. The authority's board and staff worked over the past few weeks to determine which of the proposals would funded with the $3,789,000.48.
"It was a difficult decision, but we did our best to award grants to municipalities in accordance with the Pennsylvania Gaming Laws, the authority's chairman, Patricia Bachtle, said.
The program started 6-years-ago after the casino facility opened at the Bensalem race track. Parx now boast over 3,500 slots, 140 table games and 60 poker tables.
In 2011, the casino and horse track took in over $21 million in revenue.

When times are tight, small luxuries feel -- or taste -- particularly swell.
This week has been a series of minor irritants, including but not limited to constant rain, leaky apartment house windows, 52 pages of really dense course reading, a hot freelance deadline, and making the 50-minute trip to campus one day only to find that the class had been canceled. (It was pouring that day, too.)
Haunting just about every waking minute is the fact that the undergraduate thesis that's due in mid-December is nowhere close to being done.
Once my wet shoes squished across the threshold on Thursday evening I wanted to lie down and scream, as some of my relatives might say. Instead, I ordered takeout.
That is very unlike me. And you know what? It was sooo worth it.
They may be in short supply, but it's a frozen waffle, folks.
The national shortage of Eggos has grabbed the blogosphere's attention like few real crises in recent weeks. The most ridiculous thing we've read is this: People are selling Eggos on eBay.
Michelle Singletary, the engaging personal-finance columnist for The Washington Post, confirmed that fact after hearing rumblings on Twitter and Facebook. "One person is auctioning off a box of waffles for $49.99, another for $65. If you are a bargain shopper, you can grab a box of blueberry Eggo waffles from one seller for 99 cents," Singletary wrote. So far no takers, suggesting that most people are still somewhat sane.
Singletary also said, "The ways people try to make money never cease to amaze me." Amen.
The emotional side of our brain often gets us in a financial fix.
You're not stupid. So why do you do things like splurge on yourself to punish your spouse, drain your bank account to bail out spendthrift kids, or pay high interest on credit card debt when you have the savings to pay it off?
- Bing: Dumbest money mistakes
The brain is a funny thing, says a post at CBS MoneyWatch.com, and an oversized part of it is often getting the best of us and our money. Writer Kathy Kristof turned to psychologist Brad Klontz for some analysis. She writes:
A financial psychologist, Klontz says that when it comes to money smarts, size matters: The logical part of your brain is so much smaller than the emotional side that it's like "a circus performer riding an elephant." To make smart decisions about your finances, you need the logical side to dominate.
Her post describes nine dumb things we do with money when emotions get the best of us. Among them:
Retail theft rising, with more middle-class shoplifters, study finds.
It's no surprise that, in this economy, shoplifting is up. Worldwide, retail theft grew 5.9% last year, accounting for about $208 per family.
A new Global Retail Theft Barometer study, produced by the Centre For Retail Research, found that the greatest increase in retail theft came in North America, where the rate grew 8.1%. (The highest rate of theft was in India.) The study's authors attributed the increase in theft to the recession and also to stores cutting their security budgets. The survey covered July 2008 to June 2009.
Bruce Crumley, writing for Time magazine from Paris, talks about "one of the more surprising findings: A growing number of new shoplifters are outwardly reputable, middle-class people who are walking off with French cheeses, quality meats, cosmetics, mobile phones, clothing and other goodies that they feel they need to maintain a quality of life they can no longer afford."
Here are steps you can follow if a merchant isn't treating you right.
This post comes from James Limbach at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
If you've gotten a raw deal from a retailer, the law is often on your side, but many consumers are unaware of those protections when trying to resolve disputes.
People often make the wrong assumptions about what the laws allow, or they rely on misinformation from friends, family or merchants.
"There are recourses available to consumers, but often people don't know about them," said Noreen Perrotta, finance editor of Consumer Reports Money Adviser. "From getting rain checks from your local supermarket when they are out of the spaghetti sauce they advertised as half off to doing a credit card chargeback after your refrigerator dies three months after the warranty expires, in many cases, consumers may have more rights than they think."
Here are some common scenarios and tips from Consumer Reports Money Adviser experts on how to get satisfaction:
Trent is making a list -- and sticking to it.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Thanksgiving will be upon us in a week, immediately followed by Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year. Black Friday is often the day that pushes retailers over the line into profitability for the year (from the red to the black), hence the name. Naturally, since it's the day following Thanksgiving, many people have the day off from work, and many will use it to get started on their holiday shopping.
- Bing: Black Friday Web sites
In order to get customers into the stores on Black Friday, many retailers offer enormous discounts on a handful of specific items. These items are often sold at a loss in order to simply get people into the store, because the logic goes that once customers are in the store, they're likely to buy other things. Plus, it provides some positive word-of-mouth promotion for that retailer, as people will talk about where they got enormous bargains that day.
As a result, many retailers heavily advertise their Black Friday sales in the week or two leading up to that day. Web sites proliferate online, tracking the bargains to be had.
And, through it all, the big goal is to whip consumers into a buying frenzy.
Such a frenzy is bad news. Getting caught up in Black Friday just to get deals on stuff you and those on your list don't really want or need is a sure way to watch your money float away.
That's not to say that Black Friday can't be useful to someone with savvy. It certainly can.
Here's exactly how I handle Black Friday.
There's seemingly no limit to airlines' attempts to generate revenue.
AirTran is selling ad space on the bottom of seat-back tray tables, and bloggers are having lots of fun with this.
"Since you've got to lock that puppy up for taking off and landing, and for any time you don't want to bang your knees on the tray in flight, those ads are going to get plenty of 'air' time," Bryce Longton wrote at BlackBook.
What's next? Selling ad space on the outside of the plane? It turns out that's been done -- by Skybus and Ryanair.
The new ads, which will appear soon in all 138 AirTran planes, were purchased by Mother Nature Network to promote a chance to win a Royal Caribbean cruise. Tom Johansmeyer of Gadling said subsequent ads in the 2.5-by-9-inch space will also be travel-related. (Meanwhile, The Associated Press reports, ads promoting alcohol, cigarettes and strip clubs won't be allowed.)
However, Bryce suggested five other products he thinks would be a good fit as well, including the Slanket (a Snuggie competitor), Bose noise-canceling headphones, Barnes & Noble's Nook e-reader, and JetBlue. "What better way to steal business from your competitor than to advertise on their turf? 'You could be watching 36 channels of DirecTV instead of reading this ad!'" Bryce writes.
Distributing a huge catalog no longer makes sense in the Internet world.
J.C. Penney's fall/winter Big Book is the last of its kind, as the once robust publication joins the Sears Roebuck & Co. catalog in the big recycling bin in the sky.
- Bing: Vintage Sears catalogs
"The Internet has made the 1,000-page shopping venue obsolete, and printing and transportation costs have been rising annually. The move also improves Penney's environmental footprint, reducing its catalog paper use by 30% next year," The Dallas Morning News reports. (These are truths that keep newspaper publishers awake at night.)
Much slimmer catalogs will still be mailed to targeted audiences, but their aim will be to direct people to Penney stores or to jcp.com, rather than pick up the phone and place an order.
Big catalogs, thicker and heavier than the phone book in most towns, have a warm and fuzzy place in many people's personal histories, the Morning News observes.

Oak Forest High School's graduation has come and gone, but the school's athletic teams are still making the community proud.
On Saturday, two Bengals had masterful performances, earning them recognition as Patch Co-Athletes of the Week.
At the Class 2A boys state track and field meet in Charleston, .
Meanwhile, at Howie Minas Field in Midlothian, Oak Forest's baseball team claimed the Bremen Regional championship, defeating Morris 2-1 behind a 14-strikeout performance from junior pitcher Kyle Funkhouser.
With two outs and a Morris baserunner on third base in the seventh inning and Oak Forest leading 2-1, Funkhouser got a strikeout to end the game. The Oak Forest fan base erupted.
"I just went right at him with my fastball and didn't throw anything off-speed," Funkhouser said. "That's my number one pitch. I just went right at him and got him to chase."
Oak Forest moves on to face Rich Central in the semifinals of the Lincoln-Way West Sectional on Wednesday.

The Tonawanda News
— It may be that time of year when parents are cheering their good fortunes, counting the hours in the day they can take back, reveling in the newfound quiet in their homes, but it's also the time of year when the pocketbook may be taking a big hit.
Going back to school, while perhaps a relief for some parents' peace of mind, can be a strain on the finances. Between back-to-school clothing, extracurricular activity fees and the seemingly never-ending list of necessary school supplies, some parents might be searching out the best way to save a few bucks here and there.
Tricia Suba, a Lockport mom who runs Tricia's Frugal Finds, a frugal-living blog, said it's always best to shop as far in advance as possible when it comes to getting the best deal possible on school supplies.
But if that's not possible — it's less than one week before school starts, afterall — or if your high school students don't even know what supplies to get until the first day of school, there are a few tricks of the trade.
"For last-minute shoppers, obviously the big stores like Walmart and Target will still have reasonable prices on school supplies," she said.
"A lot of people may overlook the drug stores they will run deals right up until school," she added.
Drug stores like Rite-Aid, CVS and Walgreens are also known for putting school supplies on sale periodically throughout the school year. Rewards programs available at all three chains — in which customers get a coupon to spend at the store at a future date — can make the items cheap or even free.
On a weekly basis, Suba details ways in which customers can use coupons in conjunction with drug store sales to save the most money and earn the most rewards. But don't stop checking those drug store ads even if you've done all your shopping for this year.
"There are so many times you can stock up on name brand at the weirdest time of the year," she said, adding that she only ever shops for name-brand school supplies if they're on sale. She stocked up on some inexpensive Crayola products in the middle of last school year at Toys R Us, "of all places."
The best place to get a good deal on school supplies without having to worry about couponing are office supply stores. Chains like Office Depot, Office Max and Staples often put certain supplies on sale for just a penny each as long as the customer spends a required amount, store-wide — often something like $5, Suba said.
The key is to stock up on these penny items — something the stores call loss leaders — when you see a sale, Suba said.
Tammy Brosius, a North Tonawanda mother of eight, said she prefers to stock up on these loss leaders, but she makes sure to do all her shopping weeks before her kids start back at school because she notices fewer penny sales the closer to school it is.
She said she spends about $300 on school supplies for her six children who are still in K-12 school. Her suggestion is to make sure to pay attention to the weekly ads.
"Shop around," she said. "You think you're going to the cheap stores and you're getting a deal but if you look in the paper you can find better deals than the bargain stores."
Suba also suggests taking advantage of the price-match policy at Walmart. If you're unable to find a particular item that's on sale at Office Depot — or it's not convenient to shop there — you can take the Office Depot ad to Walmart and get the same exact brand and size of item at Walmart for the same price. This can be done directly with the cashier; no need to visit customer service.
Suba said office supply stores should still be offering their penny sales through the end of September, so be sure to keep an eye on the ads.
For information on where to find the best shopping deals in the area, visit Suba's blog at www.triciasfrugalfinds.com.

Staff Reports
Claremore Progress
Customers of Rural Water District 3 are without water and Foyil Public Schools classes were canceled after a leak was detected Thursday morning.
RWD3 District Manager Rick Stull said the leak was found in one of the main underground water lines. He said there is no water in the towers or storage tanks.
"We don't even have water in our plant. I have all of my employees working to fix the leak, but it may not be until 6 p.m. before our customers have water."
He said customers north of Highway 20 and east of Owasso to north and east of Foyil are impacted by the leak.
A backhoe has been called in and Okie One-Call System has been notified to ensure that no further damage is made to public services.
Stull said the leak seems to be from natural causes.
Local businesswoman Neoma Inman has offered to help those affected by the water outage by making up to five gallons of water available for free.
"If someone who lives in that (affected) water district brings in a container of up to five gallons, we'll fill it up for them, free of charge," said Inman, owner of Hydration Station in Claremore. "We would appreciate it if they could bring their water bill to confirm they live inside of Rural Water District 3, but we'll help people who need water for as long as this situation continues."
Inman said she's glad to help those who need it.
"You can't do anything without water," she said. "You can't brush your teeth, you can't cook, you can't bathe — I know what it's like — it's a bad situation, and we'd like to do what we can to help the people or RWD 3 while they're without water."
Inman said Hydration Station, located east of Warehouse Market at 418 W. 6th Street in Claremore, will be open from 3-6 p.m. Thursday to help Rural Water District 3 residents. She also encouraged persons with questions to call her at the store at (918) 283-9909.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Handcrafted with cutting-edge winemaking worthy of our highest quality grapes, the 2008 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon displays exceptionally complex, harmonious flavors. The deep aromas and expansive flavors are filled with blackberry, cassis, dark plum, mocha, black licorice and sweet, toasted oak spices. Barrel fermentation of a portion of the must (crushed grapes) in French oak barrels resulted in early integration of the opulent dark-fruit and new-oak character. This technique also enhanced the dense, rich texture and gave suppleness to the muscular tannins, while retaining long aging potential. This is our flagship wine to enjoy with life's most important celebrations.
"Impressive for its stylish delicacy, finesse and subtle details, this firm red offers complex loamy earth, cherry, currant and plum flavors that build and gain traction on the finish, where the tannins have a pleasing loamy edge. Drink now through 2022."
93 Points
Wine Spectator
"Another brilliant offering is the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve. It possesses a dense ruby/purple color along with terrific structure, lots of creme de cassis, minerality, beautiful purity of black currants and cherries, a judicious touch of oak, and a full-bodied, structural profile that is almost Bordeaux-like. This complete, rich and promising effort should be a 25-30-year wine."

Theresa, silly me, I created a memorial last year for Margaret C. Busch and Christian Busch, not checking to see if one existed. I now find out that you did both of these people in 2008.
Before I delete mine take a look at the two I created. The vital statistics are the same and you have more links to other related graves.
However I have photos of each, some narrative of their life, etc. I am wondering if we could combine the information and then delete mine.
Take a look and let me know.

STILLWATER – When sophomore running back Desmond Roland scored on a 24-yard run in the second quarter, he knew he scored his second rushing touchdown of the game.
What he didn't know was that he helped tie a 35-year old record as that was OSU's seventh rushing touchdown of the game.
"It's a great feeling," Roland said. "I didn't know we broke the record. We worked hard during two-a-days. All the work paid off."
The Cowboys set a new school record with nine rushing touchdowns in Saturday's 84-0 victory. Roland's third touchdown of the game in the third quarter broke the record. Oklahoma State ran the ball 42 times for 403 yards. In the second half, the Pokes rushed 19 times compared to 12 passes. The sophomore said all the hard work paid off.
"We had a great camp, us as a team," Roland said. "The running back group took it upon itself to lead this team because we have a freshman quarterback. (Wes Lunt) played really well, too. We just had a great game (Saturday)."
Junior starting running back Joseph Randle got the night started, scoring the Pokes' first two touchdowns on runs of two and 40 yards, respectively. In less than one quarter, Randle racked up 107 yards on only six carries.
"I just want to thank the guys in front of me that gave me the opportunity to run," Randle said. "I still feel like it was the first game and we got a lot of improvement to do and we will get ready for Arizona."
Oklahoma State had two 100-yard rushers with Randle's 107 and Roland's 105 and was nine yards from a third as freshman Corey Bennett finished with 91. All four running backs scored at least one touchdown with junior Jeremy Smith and Roland each scoring three.
"I knew we were all going to do pretty good especially with how fall camp went," Smith said. "Des has really grown up a lot and stepped up. Corey Bennett, those guys worked and worked all fall and all summer long. It showed tonight."
Smith only carried the ball five times for 37 yards but was OK with his role.
"I'm happy to play any opportunity that I get," Smith said. "I just have to take full advantage of it. Whatever time I get."
Coach Mike Gundy said he was pleased with how his team ran the ball.
"I thought our guys ran the ball well," Gundy said. "The competition isn't what we are accustomed to. We should have run the ball well."
Savannah State plays in the Football Championship Series a level below Oklahoma State. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said that's just how the game turned out.
"We were running it at the end," Monken said. "The stats will bear that out. The reality is we have two good running backs, we're good up front and we should be able to run it or try to."

October 2012 Issue of Linux Journal: The Kernel
The Seats Are Bolted Down
One of my favorite Linux kernel analogies is that of an airplane losing altitude. In the movies, when a plane suffers damage, the brave hero rips off the door and starts throwing things out in order to lighten the load. Suitcases fly, bags of peanuts scatter and anything not bolted down goes out in order to save the passengers. When a computer system gets old, or is low-powered to begin with, the Linux kernel can work the same way. Computers are so powerful now, we don't often think about removing kernel modules to gain speed, but not too many years ago, it was common to tweak our systems by stripping out unneeded or unused drivers. We seldom turn to our beloved kernel for speed increases anymore, but it's still the core of our OS. Most users don't think about the kernel, but then again, Linux Journal readers aren't most users. This month's issue is dedicated to the kernel. If that scares you off, fear not, we cover lots of other topics too.
Reuven M. Lerner starts off the issue with his take on switching to the Chrome browser. Like Reuven, I've been a Firefox user since before it was cool. About six months ago, I switched to Chrome too. This month, Reuven discusses how the switch went for him. Whether you're a Google fan, or think Google is horrible (or both), Chrome is a popular and viable browser. Now you get to see what a programmer thinks. Our other resident programmer, Dave Taylor, tackles another interesting challenge. Can there be a template for a bash script that is flexible enough to fill most needs, while providing a standard framework to facilitate best practices? If you've ever written a script knowing you should add more, but don't have the time to do it "right", Dave's article is for you.
Kyle Rankin writes about methods for deploying servers this month. Oh sure, that sounds like a basic tenant of system administration, but Kyle goes from the standard "insert CD and boot" method all the way to centralized configuration. If you're working in a corporate environment, chances are you don't have time to install servers one by one, and even if you do have time, it would be time wasted. Kyle's article might change the way you think about server installation, and more important, it might change the way you do it.
My contribution to the kernel issue is rather small. In fact, it will fit in your pocket. In my Open-Source Classroom column, I discuss the oft-confusing art of rooting an Android device. And, because rooting often is followed by installing custom ROMs, I cover that too. If you've ever wanted to try CyanogenMod on your phone, this month's article should be a big help. If you have an iPhone, well, feel free to read about what all the cool kids can do!
Javier Martinez Canillas starts off the nitty-gritty kernel articles with an introduction to kbuild. Like any other open-source project, the Linux kernel is the work of many people working together. Javier describes the system and shows how to add to the kernel. After reading an article on how to add to the kernel, I recommend a quick followup with Igor Ljubuncic and Raphael Sack's article on dealing with kernel crashes. An unstable kernel can go from bad to catastrophic quite quickly, so Igor and Raphael discuss how to automate the identification and handling of such events. Following their lead, hopefully your next kernel panic won't mean sysadmin panic as well.
Matt Davis also helps us deal with system problems at a low level using canaries. No, it's not just listening to their beautiful songs to soothe us. Rather, just like the miners of old using canaries to detect problems in a mine, a stack canary can detect system problems before any serious damage happens. If building safeguards into your code sounds like a good idea, or if you just want to read Matt's discussion of the Terminator Canary, you'll want to check out his article.
We finish the issue with a topic near and dear to my heart. Darren Douglas talks about teaching. I've been a professional Linux trainer for several years now, and Darren really drives home some important points regarding how we teach what we teach. Whether you're a trainer yourself looking for a gut check, or just an avid user desiring to share your knowledge with others, Darren really hits the target.
On the surface, this issue might sound intimidating to those folks who usually steer clear of the kernel. Thankfully, we do the hard work of tossing out the extra baggage so all you have left are those things bolted down and worth reading. Plus, we have plenty of other things—product announcements, tech tips and more—to keep you informed and entertained. So have a seat, put your trays in the upright position and enjoy this issue of Linux Journal.

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.

Player Profile
The Manchester United striker has been firmly in the spotlight since making his Premier League debut for Everton at the age of 16 and first breaking into the England side aged 17. Much has been said about whether he has truly lived up to his potential but there is no doubt Rooney is still considered among the best in the world and he is arguably the finest English player of his generation.
Having worked his way through the Everton academy, a 16-year-old Rooney shot to the world's attention with a stunning goal against Arsenal in 2002 and showed skill beyond his years before Manchester United signed him for around 30 million pounds after the 2004 European Championship -- in which he had played a starring role, being named in the 23-man team of the tournament.
The powerful frontman made an immediate impact at Old Trafford with a hat-trick on his United debut -- a 6-2 Champions League victory over Fenerbahce in September 2004 -- and went on to help United to three straight Premier League titles between 2007-2009 and a Champions League title in 2008 -- collecting numerous personal awards along the way.
The 2009-10 season represented the pinnacle of Rooney's goalscoring career to date, as he plundered 34 goals in 44 games in all competitions for United, a feat that he later matched in the 2011-12 campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Real Madrid allowed Rooney to flourish as he became the focal point of the Old Trafford attack, and he spearheaded United's forward line in style. Rooney scored the winning goal in the 2010 League Cup final and although United missed out on domestic and European glory, he was rewarded for an impressive campaign with the PFA Players' Player of the Year Award. His stunning bicycle kick against Manchester City was named Best Goal in the Premier League 20 Seasons Awards.
In September 2008, Rooney became the youngest player in league history to make 200 appearances but after poor form and a tabloid scandal after the 2010 World Cup, he stunned the football world by releasing a statement saying he wanted to leave Manchester United. It took just three days for him to perform a U-turn though, as he committed his future to the club until 2015 amid a media melee, and his spot kick against Blackburn in May 2011 helped Manchester United claim a record 19th league title and usurp Liverpool as English football's most successful domestic side.
The England international surpassed Manchester United legend George Best in the all-time goalscoring charts when he netted a hat trick against Bolton at the start of the 2011-12 campaign and Sir Bobby Charlton's club-record haul of 249 goals is firmly within his sights. Rooney's free-scoring form earned him a place in the PFA Team of the Season for a third time in 2011-12 but he could not prevent the title heading to city rivals, Manchester City.
Rooney again lit up the back pages of the newspapers when he picked up a red card in England's crucial Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro in October 2011, ruling him out of the first two games of the finals. Although he scored in the final group stage match against Ukraine, Rooney's ability to perform on the international stage again came into question. However, two goals against San Marino in October 2012 made him England's fifth-highest all-time goalscorer and once again, Sir Bobby Charlton's haul of 49 is well within reach.
The arrival of Robin van Persie in the summer of 2012 often saw Rooney deployed in a deeper role during the 2012-13 campaign and despite featuring in 37 games over the season, he handed in a transfer request and refused to participate in Sir Alex Ferguson's last match at Old Trafford. Former coach David Moyes was burdened with the task of trying to hold on to the boisterous forward when he took over the reins at Old Trafford and he successfully managed to fend off the advances of Arsenal and Chelsea.
Strengths: Powerful and strong on the ball, Rooney's ability to pick a pass, shoot from distance and unselfishly work for the team is unparalleled in world football. His passion can never been called into question.
Weaknesses: He suffers when the red mist descends and has a propensity to lose his cool in key games. Sometimes an impetuous customer, prone to easy frustration.
Career high: His stunning debut hat-trick for Manchester United is a strong contender, but it cannot top being named as the best player in the country by his fellow professionals, as he scooped the PFA Players' Player of the Year Award in for the 2009-10 season.
Career low: Being sent off against Portugal in the 2006 World Cup quarterfinal for stamping on a rather delicate area of Ricardo Carvalho's, after working so hard to be fit for the tournament following a metatarsal injury.
Style: Powerful, hard-working, passionate; an unselfish superstar.
Quotes: "We all know football players at the top level are blessed with high wages, it's no secret. But Rooney would play for 100 euros-a-week. You can see the fire in his eyes. It's that fire which makes him the best of the best." Three-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi praises Rooney's passion.
Trivia: Rooney has "Just Enough Education To Perform" tattooed on his right forearm. The line is the title of an album by his favourite band, The Stereophonics.

Product DescriptionA mainstay of the Savage line, the Model 110 was developed in order to provide the hunting market with a strong and powerful yet light and economical rifle. While sometimes lacking in the looks department, 110 rifles are tough, well-designed, and accurate right out of the box. The reliable 110 action, used as the basis for the entire Savage line, uses a bolt with a plunger-type ejector passing through the bolt face. The 110's barrel is threaded into the receiver and fixed via a large locknut located just ahead of the receiver, with a recoil lug sandwiched between the two, a system that allows barrels to be changed or headspace to be adjusted relatively easily, making for an extremely accurate yet inexpensive rifle. A push feed-style floating bolt head comes standard. The Savage Accutrigger is micro-adjustable and breaks like glass. This rifle features a set of Leupold-style scope-mounting bases and a tang-mounted safety. Its stock, metal, and bore are all in very good condition.

---- — LYNN — When Ipswich found out it would play Bedford in the St. Mary's Spartan Classic, head coach Mandy Carter-Zegarowski had mixed emotions about facing a potential Division 3 state tournament opponent.
After all, Ipswich upset the top-seeded Buccaneers in the semifinals just a year ago and will more than likely meet again in a few weeks for another playoff matchup.
Carter-Zegarowski has to feel good about her team's chances against Bedford if in fact these two teams do see each other down the road as the Tigers ran away with a 53-44 victory last night. Ipswich (16-2) will take on St. Mary's in the championship game tomorrow night at 7:30.
"We were playing the game to win," said Carter-Zegarowski. "We want a good seed in the tournament and we want to be able to go into the playoffs with confidence.
"I thought we did a good job coming out in the first half and we were able to move the ball well. We still missed a lot of shots, but we were getting the type of shots we wanted."
Bedford started the game on a 5-0 run, but Ipswich took control the rest of the way. Ipswich held the Buccaneers to just a single free throw in the second quarter and took a 32-11 lead into halftime.
The Tigers were able to build up much of their momentum in the second quarter and saw contributions across the board. Point guard Masey Zegarowski scored a team-high 15 points to go along with her five assists and two steals.
"Ipswich is a really good team and we just need to find what works and what doesn't," said Bedford head coach Matt Ryan. "Masey's just an incredible point guard and she can control the entire game. You can't stop her even if you double team her, she's that good."
Ipswich continued its scoring rhythm into the third quarter and led by 18 to start the final stanza (46-28), but were thrown of their game once Bedford instituted the full-court press.
The Buccaneers held Ipswich to just seven points in the fourth quarter and in turn had put up their highest scores of the game.
"We didn't do a good job breaking the press," said Carter-Zegarowski. "Sometimes it's tough if you don't see a press the whole game and someone puts it on you at the end. We already weren't moving well, so we definitely had a harder time. The bigger concern is that they converted three-pointers off of our turnovers."
Senior captain Julia Davis controlled the boards for the Tigers, grabbing 13 rebounds to go along with her 10 points. Sophomore Caroline Soucy hit a pair of treys to finish with 11 points, while Jenna Gagnon (seven points) and Brigid O'Flynn (six points) also contributed to the scoring.
Ipswich senior Courtney Eramo (four points) recently moved into the starting lineup, giving the team solid height and another long body in the paint.
"She's been working hard all year and has really come along for us," added Zegarowski.

There's one in every neighborhood, the house with all the Christmas lights. Everyone knows where they are often going out of their way to drive by just to see the lights. Parents take their children, teens take their dates, and all stop and take a good look. Ever wonder who are the people who do this and why they choose to do what they do? The assignment years back was to find such a home and meet the people who put up all the Christmas lights and understand how and why they do it.
The corner of Elm and Post Crossing in Southampton is a classic 1892 built Victorian Home. It has been the home Bill and Colleen Frankenbach for 50 years. , at the age of 82. Their house had according to Bill a few years back, "Over 10,000 Christmas lights." It is a classic Christmas light's house. Reindeer, Santa's, Big Trains all adorned with multi colored Christmas lights not to mention white lights around all the windows. It was a thrill to the children. When Bill retired from running a nursery and selling Christmas accessories in 1995 he had the time to assemble and maintain an outstanding Christmas lights display. Every year he added a reindeer, a Santa, than a train, a soldier, more deer, a snowman and new lights so that it became a tradition for him to add a new thing almost every year.
When I interviewed Bill 4-5 years ago he was 78 years young. He said he would start to put the light display together in the middle of November. He'd get up on a ladder to do the electrical wiring and runs checks on the bulbs on all those 10,000 lights. Finally he said the project would be completed in early December and he would keep the lights on until just after News Years. To light the 10,000 lights Bill Frankenbach used no less than 10 timers to put the lights on at 4 PM and turn them off at 11 PM. He said there were around at least 50 plugs going into numerous extension cords.
So who was Bill Franchenbach? He was a life long Southampton resident; he was also a Korean War Veteran. Over the last 44 plus years of his life he served as both Commander of Malcolm R. White American Legion Post 433 as well as serving on the Southampton Village Commission on Veterans Patriotic Events. Therefore on his lawn he always had a Styrex Tree that had red, white and blue lights on its branches to honor the troops overseas. While he took down all the other Christmas lights Bill left the lights on the tree to light them up on Veteran's day, Memorial Day and the 4th of July. He told me fondly of a Christmas he spent overseas in the service during the early fifties in Korea when Bob Hope and Jerry Colona entertained the troops. Now he said he was entertaining the children and residents of Southampton with his Christmas lights. People actually called to ask for permission to come and have their pictures taken or have family portraits done. Cars came by and stopped, people strolled by because, quite frankly the 10,000 Christmas lights are truly amazing. The lights delivered joy, wonderment, astonishment to all. I remember my dad loading us all up into the car as children and driving me us around to see the lights on certain homes. I also remember loading my children into my car to do the very same thing. As for Bill and Colleen Frankenbach their own children are grown, as are their grandchildren however the Christmas lights still drew young children to their home. Colleen Franchenbach is a vibrant woman in her late seventies. When I visited a few years back Colleen actually decorated the main Christmas tree inside the den room with over two thousand lights and it took her 15 hours to do the tree. The long time Southampton couple warmly chuckled when asked about the children who come by to see the lights they display on their historic house. "We love it!" Colleen explained. She added they would love to keep the lights going into February because, "that month is so dark, I am sure LIPA would love us." Then Bill added jokingly, "But that might put us in the poor house." They had music one year but it could only be heard up close. There was no number given on the electric bill only that it was substantial but it also was so worth it to them. The home on the inside was almost something of a collection of Norman Rockwell Christmas water color paintings. The evening I was there when it became dark, cars began to drive by slowly. Some actually stopping with children getting out to get a close up look. They pointed, they laughed, they stood in amazement. It's as American as apple pie. Bill and Colleen admitted then they had a desire to hang in there and hopefully be able to watch their great grandchildren see the lights. With most of their family still local they plan on doing just that. I spoke to Colleen tonight. This will be her first Christmas without Bill, but she and her children have decided to keep the tradition going in his honor. Colleen confessed, "Only about half, but that's still quite a lot. We know Bill would have wanted us to do this."
