Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Every dollar patients spend on prescription medicines to treat heart disease and diabetes saves them $3 to $10 on other medical services, according to a 2011 Health Affairs study cited by United Way of Greater Niagara and FamilyWize, two organizations that are partnering to help local families stay healthy by making free prescription discount cards available to everyone in the community.
As of Dec. 31, 2012, the FamilyWize-United Way partnership with local pharmacies has saved people living or working in this area more than $326,826 on everyday prescription costs for conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and many others, plus an additional $716,433 on other medical services specifically related to heart disease and diabetes, such as doctor's office visits, hospitalizations and surgeries.
"Lowering the cost of prescription medications allows more people to get the medicine they need when they need it," said Carol Houwaart-Diez, president, United Way of Greater Niagara. "The dollars saved on the cost of complications, disease progression and additional health-related expenses are far greater than just the savings on the medicine. This program impacts both health and financial stability, two key building blocks for advancing the common good."
Savings on medications can be as much as 75 percent with the free FamilyWize prescription discount card. Nationwide, more than 5 million people have been helped and more than $448 million has been saved. The card requires no enrollment or activation. Consumers just give the card to their pharmacists every time a prescription is needed and discounts are automatically applied.
"The FamilyWize card provides immediate savings on prescription medications and can make a difference in staying healthy. We hope everyone will help spread the word to their family and friends about this important free help," said Ellen Imber, Vice-President Community Outreach for the FamilyWize Community Service Partnership.
"The cards can be used by everyone in the community, regardless of insurance," Houwaart-Diez added. "They can even be used by those with insurance who have high deductibles or who take medications not covered by their plan, as well as people with Medicaid or Medicare when their prescription isn't covered," Houwaart-Diez added.
The FamilyWize-United Way Card is free and easy to use, and is available for immediate and unlimited use by anyone. The card is accepted at every chain pharmacy and most independent pharmacies. No enrollment or personal information is required.
Cards are available by contacting United Way of Greater Niagara at (716) 216-4582, by texting the word "family" to 700700 for a text version of the card, or by visiting www.FamilyWize.org to print a card and compare discounted medication prices at the different participating pharmacies.

A college student from New City, the son of the New City man who was the longtime accountant for Bernard Madoff, has died of an apparent suicide in Columbus, OH, according to police.
Clarkstown police in Rockland County said they were notified Thursday night of the death of Jeremy Friehling, 23, who was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot.
Friehling was the son of David G. Friehling of New City, a former accountant who worked for Bernard Madoff. Friehling pleaded guilty in Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme, a fraud that ran for years and had thousands of victims who lost billions of dollars — including many victims througout the Westchester, Putnam and Rockland area.
Friehling, charged in 2009, admitted in federal court that he produced the audits that allowed Madoff to hide his Ponzi scheme from the government for years.
In 2010, Mark Madoff, the son of jailed Bernard Madoff, commited suicide. He was found hanging in a Manhattan apartment.

Sandra Grable, CVT, a dermatology technician at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital, offers this advice
to avoid common ear infection mistakes:
Do not skip ear cytology and otoscopic examination. "Ear cytology is something simple and relatively inexpensive, and it doesn't require a lot of time," Grable says. "Cytology
will allow you to properly treat the infection, instead of treating what isn't necessary or treating the wrong organism. Characteristics
of odor or exudate alone shouldn't substitute for cytologic evaluation."
Find the underlying cause. "It's essential to find the cause of the problem and work up the case for possible food or environmental allergies, tumors,
foreign bodies, or other causes of disease," Grable says. "It's important for pet owners to understand that the organisms
causing an infection are opportunistic, and there are always one or more underlying reasons why the organisms are growing."
Be persistent about follow-up care. "Follow-up care is important as well as treating the infection for the appropriate amount of time and selecting the correct
route of administration," Grable says. "Scheduling recheck appointments and repeating cytology and otoscopic examinations
at those visits is essential to ensure the otitis is responding to treatment and the owner is compliant with the treatment

By now we can hopefully all agree that full camber is too restricting and full rocker is too loose. So the question is: where is that happy middle ground? Camber in the middle with rocker at the ends? Rocker in the middle with camber at the ends? No, and no. If it's room temperature outside, do you turn on both the heat and the AC to get the right temperature inside? Of course not.
Venture's simple, straightforward approach to rocker delivers stellar performance without all the bells, whistles, and hype. Flat between the bindings with a mellow uplift on the tip and tail, our rockered shapes offer increased maneuverability and floatation without sacrificing stability or edge hold. In other words, you get the surfy playful freedom between turns combined with solid edge hold when you are in the turn. As usual, the simplest solution is the best.

With 2013 coming to an end, Great Expression Dental Centers (GEDC) would like to offer a few options to keep in mind to ensure you get the most of your insurance by not letting your flex spending dollars go to waste. Dental coverage resets on January 1, so GEDC wants to help you get the most out of your insurance and flex dollars in 2013 before they're gone.
Flex Money Spending Tips:
· Teeth Cleaning
Although procedures such as teeth whitening are not allowed, using the extra money on getting another teeth cleaning is always beneficial. Teeth cleanings help prevent major dental problems. Give yourself clean teeth, a healthy mouth and a shining smile to start your new year off strong.
· Dental X-rays
Dental X-rays are a useful tool dentists use to detect damage and disease that may not be visible during a regular dental exam. Pay for these helpful X-rays with your flex spending money to ensure your teeth are in tip-top shape.
· Restorative Treatments
If you have damage to your tooth due to decay or cavities, dentists recommend restorative treatments such as a filling or crown. Using your flex spending money on this will allow you to get your teeth back to their normal function and shape.
· Braces
Everyone dreams of having perfect, straight teeth. If you are looking to straighten-up your chompers, now is the time. Braces can be expensive, but do not worry; your flex spending money allows you to get a head start on straightening them up! In addition, a compliment to braces is Invisalign®.

WATERVILLE, Maine --- Colby College men's soccer player Nick Nowak (Medfield/Medfield, Mass.) was named an honorable mention selection on the 2012 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) College Division Scholar All-East Region team on Friday.
Nowak, a senior co-captain for the 2012 team, earned Colby's Mike Loebs Award as team most valuable player for the second year in a row. He shared the honor with then teammate Matt Boyes-Watson after the 2011 season.
Nowak started every game on defense in his four years and played in the center. He finished his career with one assist in a 1-1 tie with Hamilton College in the 2011 season.
An English major (creative writing focus) and an education minor, Nowak made the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Fall All-Academic Team in all three years he was eligible.

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – With just five days of training in the books, the UNCW women's soccer team hits the pitch Monday for the first of two exhibition games over a six-day stretch in preparation for the 2013 season.
The Seahawks entertain longtime rival Campbell at 6 p.m. Monday at the UNCW Soccer Stadium. UNCW then wraps up its preseason slate Saturday with a 7 p.m. tilt at future CAA foe Elon.
Coach Paul Cairney's team kicks off the new season with six consecutive road games, beginning on Friday, Aug. 23, with a 7 p.m. contest at South Carolina.
Campbell is also playing the first of two exhibition matches and faces Wake Forest in Winston-Salem on Aug. 16 to conclude the preseason.
The Camels, 10-8-1 under eight-year head coach Todd Clark in 2012, return 19 players from last year's roster, including seven regular starters. Ashley Clark returns for her junior season after having a first-team all-conference campaign as a sophomore, and goalkeeper Alexis Connors hits the pitch after being named to the Big South all-freshman team. Campbell also welcomes 10 newcomers to the Creek in the fall.
Last week, UNCW junior Stephanie Bronson and the sophomore tandem of Maddie McCormick, Lindsey Byrne collected preseason mention from the Colonial Athletic Association. The Seahawks were picked to third in the team standings behind Hofstra and William & Mary.
Bronson was a Third-Team All-CAA selection last season when she ranked third on team in points (13), goals (5) and assists (3). The Raleigh, N.C., product was tied for fifth on the team in shots attempted (26) and tallied a pair of game-winning strikes against Drexel and Georgia State.
A native of Newark, Del., McCormick was a Third-Team All-CAA and CAA All-Rookie Team honoree in 2012 as she took part all 22 games and made 14 starts. She finished second on the team in both goals (8) and total points (19) and became just the fourth player in school history to record a hat trick as she found the back of the net three times against Towson last October.
Byrne was a CAA All-Rookie Team selection last season as she started all 21 games played. The Charlotte, N.C., native was part of a backline that matched the program's single-season record for shutouts in a season (9). Byrne also contributed on the offensive end as she tallied three assists.

By JEFF MEYERS
---- — PLATTSBURGH — CVPH Medical Center suffered $5,157,507 in operating losses in 2012, fueled by cuts in Medicare and other federal reimbursements, along with a reduction in inpatient numbers.
Hospital officials acknowledged that 2012 was a difficult year but offered hope for the future, especially with the new affiliation with Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.
CVPH President and Chief Financial Officer Stephens Mundy presented the figures during the annual meeting of the CVPH Advisory Board, held Tuesday afternoon at Clinton Community College's Stafford Building Theater.
"(It) was a year of challenges," he said of 2012. "We responded well and are still responding. Changes are continuing."
Medicare cuts took the largest chunk from the hospital's budget, with $2 million lost in reimbursements.
Another $1.5 million loss came from a new federal program that requires hospitals to identify patients they admit overnight as "observation" patients rather than admissions.
Hospitals cannot resubmit claims for those patients but have to absorb the loss, Mundy explained.
Another $1 million was lost in changes to the federal coding system.
"Without those (three areas), we would have been close to a break-even year," Mundy said.
CVPH did record $3.2 million in non-operating gains, mostly from investment income, which reduced the net loss to $1.9 million
By comparison, CVPH experienced operating gains of more than $7.9 million in 2010 and $7.4 million in 2011.
The hospital recorded a slight increase in the number of physicians on staff, jumping from 158 doctors in 2011 to 162 by the end of 2012.
However, Mundy did note that losses of general surgeons had a negative impact on the volume of surgical procedures.
Mundy praised regional efforts with the Medical Home concept of providing consistent care for patients throughout the community, although he noted the change in health care it creates reduced patient numbers in such areas as the Emergency Department and hospital readmissions.
"From a business perspective, that (loss of income) is not good, but it is the right thing to do," he said. "It's a good thing, a tough thing for us, but it is a good thing."
Patient admissions at CVPH dropped from 11,421 in 2011 to 11,211 in 2012.
The total number of days patients stayed in the hospital dropped from 99,547 in 2011 to 96,354 in 2012.
Emergency and outpatient visits both increased in 2012. Just more than 51,000 patients were treated in the ER in 2012, up from 49,660 in 2011. Outpatient visits increased by 438 patients.
Much of the meeting focused on the affiliation with Fletcher Allen and how that partnership will translate into improved quality of health care at a reduced cost in years to come.
With four hospitals already in the mix, also including Elizabethtown Community Hospital and Central Hospital of Vermont, Mundy said he would not be surprised to see more hospitals join this and other affiliations in the next few years.
All four members of the regional affiliation have begun to meet to analyze several areas of health care, including finances, human services and planning.
Joyce Rafferty, vice president of finances for CVPH, noted that the Plattsburgh hospital has set a goal of saving $1 million in supplies and has already reached $250,000 in savings directly related to the affiliation.
"We live in the realm of possible," Mundy said of the potential he sees in the affiliation.
"How do we make it reality?"
He answered that question by asking the members in attendance to answer two questions: "What are your major concerns related to CVPH's future," and "What do you see as the highest priorities for CVPH?"
Using electronic voting devices, the members felt loss of control was the major concern for CVPH and improving quality of care was the highest priority.
The hospital and its partners will set goals based on the responses and will report back to the board in 2013, Mundy said.
Paul Sands, chair of Community Providers Inc., the parent organization of CVPH and Elizabethtown facilities, paraphrased a quote from Charles Dickens's "A Tale of Two Cities" in citing the current status of the local hospitals: "It's the best of times, and it's the worst of times."
Sands praised the "wisdom, effort and vision" of CVPH Medical Center and said he was confident that the hospital would continue to grow stronger and provide quality health care in its involvement with Fletcher Allen.

Associated Press
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Authorities have arrested the Fayetteville High School athletic director after police said he allegedly tried to set up a sexual encounter with a detective posing online as an underage girl.
Fifty-year-old Barry Gebhart was arrested Tuesday on a felony charge of internet stalking of a child. According to an affidavit, authorities arrested Gebhart after he arrived at a Rogers shopping mall for a meeting set up by undercover officers.
Fayetteville Superintendent Vicki Thomas says Gebhart has been placed on leave.
The affidavit alleges that Gebhart communicated with a detective posing as an underage girl on the social networking application Whisper. The affidavit claims Gebhart made sexual comments and sent an explicit photograph.
Gebhart was released from jail Wednesday after posting bond. His attorney, Terry Harper, declined to comment.

Football: It has been a tale of two seasons for Kennedy, regrouping from an 0-3 start this season to win its next five games. The latest victory came last Saturday with a 21-6 victory over New Hyde Park. Tom Ferner and Matt Delbianco both had rushing touchdowns on 130 combined yards and Michael McCormick returned an interception, one of five turnovers forced by the defense, 49 yards in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. The win results in the best Cougar football season in almost 40 years. Kennedy will likely receive a No. 4-6 seed in the Conference II playoffs.
Girls Volleyball: No. 3 Kennedy swept aside No. 14 New Hyde Park in its first round matchup of the Class A playoffs, 25-9, 25-15 and 25-11. Sophomore Lauren Sustad and senior Heather Hulkower each had 10 kills in the win. Geana Bruno contributed to the offense with 30 total assists. Kennedy will meet against No. 6 Herricks at home on Tuesday in the quarterfinals.
Football: Mepham lost to visiting Garden City this weekend by an 18-0 score. Despite the limited scoring, the Trojan defense was the key difference as they kept the Pirate offense at bay. Mepham gained just 34 total yards, 24 by running back Kevin Tauriello. Mepham figures to make the playoffs as the eighth seed at 4-4, meaning a rematch with Garden City could be in store.
Football: Clarke defeated visiting North Shore on Saturday by a convincing 40-12 final. Michael Martiello had three passing touchdowns to go along with two rushing touchdowns on 285 total yards. Justin DiFilippi had a rushing touchdown to cap off the scoring. Joe Livermore led the defense for 5-3 Clarke with eight tackles and a sack, and Kyle Wenzel added nine tackles. The Rams are expected to receive a No. 5 or 6 seed in Conference IV.
East Meadow
Football: East Meadow finished in a three-way tie for first place in Conference I after a 45-6 win at Syosset. This one was over early, as the Jets scored 39 points in the first quarter. Robbie Healy, who has 23 total touchdowns in eight games, scored three times in the win, along with a rushing touchdown from Dylan Curry. Andrew Lynch led the defense with a 54-yard interception return for a touchdown, one of three total turnovers forced on the day.
Football: Hewlett was shut out by visiting Plainedge, 13-0, in the regular season finale on Saturday. The two teams battled to a scoreless tie by halftime, but a pair of two-yard touchdown runs by Ralph Caccavale in the second half was enough to win. A 24-0 win over Floral Park in the season opener may be the deciding factor to get the Bulldogs into the playoffs, as both are 4-4 on the season.
Football: Lawrence wrapped up a second seed in Conference III after defeating Sewanhaka on the road, 33-6, to move to 7-1. Ryan Fredericks has accounted for 11 total touchdowns in the last three games after catching and running for touchdowns, as well as returning the opening kickoff to the end zone on Saturday. He had 163 total yards on the ground, as well as an interception on defense. Quarterback Joey Capobianco threw three touchdown passes on just six total attempts, including a 10-yarder to Eddie Robinson and a 65-yarder to Tyler Fredericks. Kenny Perez and Matt Leone have been the leaders on defense since Chris Hercules was out due to injury, as the pair combined for 16 tackles, two forced fumbles and a sack.
Football: Garden City shut Mepham out on Saturday by an 18-0 final to finish the regular season undefeated at 8-0. Scott D'Antonio shined through on the day, racking up 113 yards and two touchdowns. Mark Ellis had 36 yards on 11 carries. The defense allowed just 34 yards and a trio of first downs for the game, also creating two turnovers and a safety on special teams.
Girls Volleyball: No. 5 Garden City defeated No. 12 Great Neck South in four sets on Saturday, 25-15, 25-18, 21-25 and 25-10. Emily LaCourte had a great game with 20 kills and Jackie Jahelka helped the offense with 16 assists. Morgan Taylor led in the serving game with seven assists. The Lady Trojans will now meet with No. 4 Manhasset on Tuesday.
Middle School: Salk's eighth grade football battled cross-town rival Wisdom Lane on Saturday in abysmal weather conditions. Salk was able to hold off a late Wisdom rally and win 12-6. Carlos Correia and Jeremy Hughes were able to find the end zone to give Salk a 12-0 lead entering the final quarter. Peter D'Angelo, Pat McAllister and Noah Weisberg played terrific defense. Salk wraps up its season next Saturday at Seaford Middle School. The game kicks off at 9:30 a.m.
Football: Division blew away Roslyn on the road on Saturday 43-6 to finish the regular season at 6-2. Jon Muller had his biggest day thus far with 214 yards and four touchdowns. Ryan Coleman added another rushing touchdown. Dylan Cardno threw just two passes in the rough weather, but one went for a 34-yard touchdown to Jake Smithwick. Petey Greene, who had eight tackles, led the defense, which had three forced turnovers. Division will likely receive a No. 3 seed in the Conference III playoffs.
Girls Soccer: No. 1 Division came to play in its Class A first-round meeting against No. 16 Glen Cove, winning 8-0. Ari Weingrad and Susan Ballantyne each scored twice and Krista Fitzpatrick scored once and assisted twice in the win.

Famularo found Anthony Leonick twice for the Bulldogs' two goals. Andrew Barbine made three saves in the big shutout. Island Trees will play No. 10 Garden City, which recently defeated No. 7 Plainedge, on Tuesday.
Football: MacArthur finished the regular season in a three-way tie with Freeport and East Meadow atop Conference I, all at 7-1, after a 50-6 drubbing at Port Washington on Saturday. Brett Ellers led the way with 147 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Tyler Eppich, Brendan Smith and Ryan Scarano all adding to the scoring with a touchdown each. The defense forced three total turnovers, including an interception by Mike Rotundo.
Football: Long Beach won again last weekend, defeating Herricks at home by a 22-14 score. Dealing with dismal weather, the Marines turned to the running game led by Peter Amabile and quarterback Tom Rowley. Amabile finished with 189 yards and a score and Rowley tacked on 98 yards and a score. Long Beach trailed 14-8 at the half, but a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown by Jake Brown, who had two total, tied it at 14-14 before Amabile scored the eventual game-winner. Long Beach will likely receive a No. 5 or 6 seed in the Conference III playoffs.
Girls Volleyball: No. 7 Long Beach defeated its Class A first round opponent, No. 10 Hewlett in three sets on Saturday, 25-21, 25-21 and 25-11.

Despite the regular season struggles for the Lady Marines, they advance to play No. 2 South Side on Tuesday.

Last week, the Owls lost 36-0 to Lawrence, finishing at 5-3. Matt Trotta, Matt Mott and the Owls defense struggled to stop a high-powered Golden Eagles rushing attack, which finished in first place at 8-0. Lynbrook will likely receive a No. 4 or 5 seed in the upcoming Conference III playoffs.
Girls Volleyball: No. 9 Lynbrook, a team that finished the regular season at 15-1, lost a Class A first-round match up against No. 8 Roslyn on Saturday in four sets.

Lynbrook finishes at 15-2 overall.
Girls Volleyball: Malverne prepares for its Class C first round meeting with Carle Place on Saturday, Nov. 5. The game will be hosted at South Side High School at 4:30 p.m.
Football: Calhoun led much of the way against visiting Carey on Saturday, but a late touchdown gave the Seahawks the win over the Colts, 8-6. Quarterback Matt Brennan scored on a one-yard run in the first quarter. However, on the first play in the final quarter, Rob Zorn ran 27 yards around the Calhoun defense gave his team the lead. Julian Lee and company had a tough time on the ground as the Colts close out their season at 3-5 overall.
Boys Soccer: The Colts boys soccer team clinched an 11th seed in the Class AA playoffs when Harry Davis scored the game's lone goal in the 30th minute of the Oct. 24 1-0 road victory over Port Washington Unfortunately, the first round was as far as the Colts could advance, as a powerful Hempstead team rolled to a 6-2 decision on Oct. 28, despite a seven-save effort by Matt Donnelly.
Girls Volleyball: No. 11 Calhoun fell in its first-round matchup of the Class A playoffs against No. 6 Herricks in four sets. Kelly Gallo and Jess Ruggiero led the team in the effort in what was a great season for the Lady Colts, who finish at 10-7 overall.
**The Calhoun Sports Boosters recently honored the following Calhoun students as Athletes of the Month for September 2011**
Sweeper Mary Hijazi has been a starter on the Calhoun girls varsity soccer team since her freshman year and a captain the last two. Hijazi received the All-Class Award her sophomore year. She is a composed and skillful player who has great control over the field. Next year, Hijazi will play Division I soccer at Manhattan College on an academic and athletic scholarship. Also a lacrosse player, Hijazi is a member of Athletes Helping Athletes and the Yorker Club for social studies.
Matthew Donnelly is the goalkeeper for the Calhoun boys varsity soccer team. In September, Donnelly registered three shutouts and made more than 70 saves in various games. His outstanding goalkeeping has been a bright spot for the team all season, and Donnelly is also a leader on the field and in the classroom. Only a junior, Donnelly also played basketball as a freshman and participates in Athletes Helping Athletes. After his senior season, Donnelly hopes to continue his soccer career in college.
Boys Soccer: No. 5 Mineola will travel to No. 4 Roslyn on Tuesday for a Class A quarterfinal game. The Mustangs previously defeated No. 12 West Hempstead by a 5-1 final on Friday.
Football: South Side was recently shut out on the road by Floral Park, 22-0, with all points scored coming in the first half. Brendan Jackson and the Cyclone running game couldn't get much going against the tough Floral Park defense, as Saturday didn't spell for a repeat performance of the team's 40-6 win on Oct. 22. South Side finishes the regular season at 2-6 overall.
Girls Volleyball: No. 2 South Side swept No. 15 Plainedge in the Class A first round on Saturday, 25-15, 25-17 and 25-15. Grace Healy led the way on offense with 10 kills, as well as four blocks on defense. Emma Paris helped the offense with 14 assists to allow the Lady Cyclones to move on to Tuesday's matchup with
No. 7 Long Beach.

In all, the Vikings had 360 yards on the ground between five players. Richards also led the defense with nine tackles for a 5-3 Seaford team.
Football: Wantagh defeated Elmont 21-8 on the road by way of a second-half comeback. Down 8-0 after halftime, Joe Giardina scored a touchdown followed by a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown runs by Brian von Bargen, who finished with 61 total yards. Wantagh, which is 7-1, should receive a No. 2 seed in the upcoming Conference II playoffs behind undefeated Garden City.
Girls Volleyball: No. 1 Wantagh remained undefeated on the season with a sweep in its Class A first-round matchup with No. 16 Great Neck North. Anna Paulik had 10 kills and 10 digs on defense. Carly Simeone, who had 30 assists, has been the essential "glue" that has held this dominant offense together all season long as the Lady Warriors prepare for No. 8 Roslyn on Tuesday.
Girls Volleyball: The No. 5 Lady Rams prepare for a first-round matchup with No. 4 Clarke on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. The winner will play at Roslyn High School against No. 1 Seaford on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

Party on the Beach in Cabo San Lucas
The beaches of Cabo come alive in March as spring breakers head south to enjoy the sun and sand. There's certainly plenty to do besides partying at Cabo's nightclubs, as March is prime whale watching season as well. With daily highs in the low 80s, it's the perfect temperature for fun in and out of the water.Photo by Ken Bosma
Enjoy the Snow in Stowe, VT
If you'd rather enjoy the last vestiges of winter this month, head to Stowe, VT. March is the snowiest time of year, so you're more likely to have perfect powder with plenty of sunny days mixed in. Roads are usually clear by the end of February, and you'll rarely have to wait in line at the lifts.Photo by Stowe Mountain Resort
Get Cultural in Paris, France
If you don't mind a few afternoon showers, March can be a lovely time to visit Paris. In the heart of the shoulder season, you'll often find discounts on hotel rooms, and lines for popular attractions will be much shorter than in summer, so you can ponder the Mona Lisa in peace. If you visit early in the month, be sure to squeeze in some ice skating at the Hôtel de Ville.Photo by Till Krech
Soak up the Sun in Turks & Caicos
There's not really a bad time to visit the Turks & Caicos, thanks to year-round temperatures hovering in the 80s. If you're looking for a spring break getaway that's a little bit more luxurious and low-key than Cancun or Miami, these picturesque Antilles islands might just fit the bill.Photo by Turks and Caicos Tourism
Southern Charm in Charleston, SC
With flowers in bloom and warm -- but not too warm -- weather, March is one of the best months to visit charming Charleston. While you'll have to contend with lots of fellow tourists, a great lineup of events, including the Spring Jam Music Fest, Charleston Film Festival and Charleston Garden Festival, makes it worth your while.Photo by Photo courtesy of ExploreCharleston.com
Autumn in New Zealand
If you can't wait six more months for fall leaf-peeping, consider New Zealand in March. This southern hemisphere destination enjoys a riot of fall colors beginning in March, while the weather is still warm enough for t-shirts and shorts. Since most New Zealanders have returned to school, you should be able to land discounts on accommodations as well.Photo by Ben Crawford - Tourism New Zealand
Springtime in Santa Barbara, CA
The gloomy rain and fog of Santa Barbara's winter are beginning to fade come March, so while you'll still need a light jacket, you'll get to experience a city largely devoid of tourists. Get a dose of spring color at the annual Santa Barbara International Orchid Show.Photo by California Travel and Tourism Commission/Andreas Hub
Hit the Beach in Siesta Key, FL
March brings the best weather to Siesta Key, just west of Sarasota. That means plenty of sunshine and very little rain to ruin your day at the beach. Families on spring break will love the gentle, kid-friendly waters and powdery sands, while golf enthusiasts can tee off at one of the dozen public courses in the area.Photo by Mike Miller
Winter Wonderland in Banff, Canada
Spring break "powder heads" will love Banff for its copious fresh snow and rocking après–ski scene during the March vacation. Even if skiing's not your thing, you can still soak in the hot springs, take an expedition onto a glacier or watch a hockey game on scenic Lake Louise.Photo by Banff Lake Louise Tourism/Paul Zizka
Kick Back in Costa Rica
March is the in the middle of Costa Rica's dry season, making it the perfect time to hit the beach or explore the rainforests of this Central American country. While technically still high season, the crowds who descend upon Costa Rica to escape frigid winter temperatures further north have largely dissipated by now.Photo by Ryan Kozie

Calcium: bone up for health
Focused on Health - June 2012
by Laura Nathan-Garner
Want to do your body good? Make sure you're getting enough calcium.
This important nutrient plays a big part in building healthy bones. As you age, strong bones can help you avoid osteoporosis, a weakening of the bone tissue and loss of bone mass that can up your risk of bone fractures.
And, that's not all. Strong bones also can keep you in fighting shape if you develop a disease like cancer. That's because certain cancers and cancer treatments can weaken the bones.
Plus, calcium may protect the body from colorectal cancer, heart disease, hypertension and type 2 diabetes. But more research needs to be done.
Here's what you should know so you and your family can reap calcium's benefits.
Building strong bones should start in childhood
Got kids or grandkids? Make sure they start getting enough calcium early.
Bones grow the most between ages 9 and 17. And, 90% of adult bone mass is established by age 17. So, bones that don't get the right amount of calcium during the "tween" and teen years can't make up for it later.
Not sure how much calcium your kids need? Use the National Institutes of Health's breakdown.
Make sure you and older relatives get enough calcium
Our bodies start to lose bone mass as we age, raising the risk of osteoporosis.
Age 19-50? Aim for 1,000 milligrams of calcium each day. Older than age 50? Shoot for 1,200 milligrams.
Make sure you don't consume more than 600 milligrams at a time. Your body can't absorb more than that.
Get your fill with a healthy, calcium-rich diet
The best way to get your fill of calcium is through the foods you eat.
Adults can get enough calcium by eating 2½ to 3 servings of the following foods each day:
- Low-fat and non-fat dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cheese
- Dark, leafy greens like kale, collard greens and broccoli
- Tofu
- Edamame
- Soymilk or 100% fruit juice fortified with calcium
- Canned sardines or salmon products that include the bone
Can't get your fill of calcium from food? Talk to your doctor about whether you need to take a calcium supplement. And, be sure to ask about possible benefits and drawbacks.
Avoid getting more than 1,500 milligrams of calcium a day
Too much calcium may do more harm than good. Play it safe by limiting yourself to no more than 1,500 milligrams of calcium each day.
Calcium alone isn't enough to protect your bones
Calcium isn't all you need to build healthy bones. MD Anderson also recommends that you:
- Add vitamin D to your diet. The safest, healthiest way to get your daily fill of vitamin D is through foods like salmon, tuna and milk, and, if needed, supplements.
- Get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity each day. Make sure you do weight-bearing exercises like walking, tennis and stair-climbing. And, be sure to include resistance exercises like weight lifting.
- Avoid tobacco. Cigarettes and smokeless tobacco weaken your bones — and raise your cancer risk. So, if you use tobacco, start a plan to quit.
- Limit alcohol and caffeine. They may reduce the amount of calcium that your body absorbs.
So, go ahead and start filling your plate with a healthy dose of calcium. Your bones will thank you for years to come.

As I sat in the crowd of 3,000 women listening to the fabulous presenters at Time Out For Women, the theme of the conference posed a question in my mind, "What did I want to become?"
I'd love to become a lot of things, actually, but as I sat and pondered what I wanted more than anything else, it was to be a good mom. I want my kids to remember me playing with them, laughing with them, helping them and loving them.
I need to enjoy the simple things.
I need to simplify.
I need to become a simple mom.
To document my process of "becoming", I created a new blog. It's not anything like Somewhat Simple, but rather a candid online journal of the joys and frustrations, the happiness and the heartaches that come with trying to become the best mom I can possibly be.
Becoming A Simple Mom {dot} com
Since Somewhat Simple has been so fun to create and has helped me develop my creative side, maybe writing a blog about my family will help me develop my talents as a mom and turn my thoughts towards my children and family! Becoming a Simple Mom is my way for me to focus on the simple things, to promote the joys of motherhood & live in the now and not have any regrets.
I'm choosing to become a simple mom. And this is going to be a fabulous journey…

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — LEWISTON — Local veterans enjoyed a night of college hockey at Niagara University on Saturday as the Purple Eagles hosted area military personnel and the Air Force Academy's team.
There was plenty to cheer for the home crowd, as NU overcome a pair of one-goal deficits before taking and holding onto a third-period lead to win 4-3.
Not that the final score mattered to many at Saturday's game — a large contingent of Air Force fans and neutrals voiced their support for the young men on the ice who will soon be serving their country.
In several cases, buses and other modes of transportation were donated for use Saturday night. For instances, a contingent of veterans from Orleans County had a comfortable ride to the game thanks to a bus donated by the Community Action Program and driver Larry Montello. Although they sat next to the vocal student section, the group — which also included Rick Forder, Jim Freas, Joe Franklin, Fred Heschke, Peter Huth, Dick Huth — had a good time at the game.
Freas, who organized the trip, said Niagara sought to honor all the local veterans for the Air Force Academy's annual trip to Western New York. More than 1,000 flag-waving fans packed into Dwyer Arena, with the loudest cheers of the night coming as veterans from across the area were honored.

Staff reports
Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Mayor Paul Dyster's administration announced Friday morning that a deal has been reached that will allow the New York Power Authority to provide the city of Niagara Falls with some much-needed financial assistance.
Dyster announced Friday morning plans for the power authority to provide $13.4 million to help the city as it deals with financial issues related to the lack of incoming casino revenue.
Dyster credited the power authority's board of trustees and Gov. Andrew Cuomo for helping to put the deal together and said that while the funding will change the outlook of the 2013 budget outlook for the city, "difficult decisions" will still need to be made in the weeks ahead.
"Many New York municipalities face economic hardship, but our case was special and needed unique attention," Dyster said. "The state is just starting a major recovery from Hurricane Sandy and government operations have been disrupted with previous priorities pushed aside to deal with the emergency situation. Despite all of that, Governor Cuomo made helping Niagara Falls a top priority."
State Sen. George Maziarz, R-Newfane, said the plan involves accelerating payments owed by NYPA to the city. Under the plan, he said the authority will make payments that it committed to provide to the city under the 2007 relicensing of the Niagara Power Project. Maziarz said the authority will convert an $850,000 annual payment stream that it would otherwise provide the city with over the next 44 years into an equivalently valued lump-sum amount of approximately $13.45 million.
"It should go a long way towards helping with the city's financial hardships," Maziarz said.
As part of the announcement, Dyster encouraged members of the city council to accept the power authority's offer. He said he will submit an amended budget to the city council for its consideration.
"NYPA assistance is critically important, however, it obviously does not resolve the ongoing issue with the Seneca Nation," Dyster said. "The $13 million spin-up does not solve all of the city's issues and no one is pretending it will. Arbitration is still ongoing and there are long-term questions that need to be answered. I am assured the state will continue to explore ways to assist the city of Niagara Falls and look forward to working with our state representatives in seeking solutions to the outstanding issues."
Dyster delayed presentation of his proposed 2013 spending plan for several weeks, insisting that he needed additional time to put together what he described as a "disaster" budget for the city.
On Friday, Dyster suggested the extra time was needed to finalize the power authority's assistance package. Dyster indicated that the deal was originally expected to be considered as part of the board of trustees' Oct. 29 meeting, but Hurricane Sandy forced the session to be cancelled, prompting Dyster to delay his budget presentation beyond the Nov. 1 deadline.
"I hope the council and the public now understands that negotiating this agreement affected the timeliness of the 2013 budget presentation," Dyster said. "If we could have announced this initiative weeks ago, it would have changed the budget projections and timeline."

AFC Bournemouth stars bring smiles to the faces of children with visit to Julia's House
10:00am Saturday 22nd February 2014 in News By Jim Durkin
AFC BOURNEMOUTH stars Lee Camp and Eunan O'Kane joined chairman Jeff Mostyn for a fun-packed afternoon when they made a memorable visit to Julia's House.
The Cherries trio put a smile on the faces of staff and children with a special guest appearance at the hospice in Corfe Mullen on Tuesday. Taking time out of their busy schedules, they were given the opportunity to witness first-hand the work the charity does for life-limited children and their families across Dorset.
They joined in with board and computer games while Eunan made the most of some sunshine by passing on his top footballing tips in the garden.
The players also signed posters, programmes and footballs for the children and their siblings.
Julia's House is dedicated to helping life-limited children and their families. The charity needs to raise £3.9 million in 2014.
AFC Bournemouth has had a long-standing relationship with Julia's House and Mr Mostyn praised the work of the charity.
He said: "Julia's House is one of Dorset's proudest organisations and it was a real privilege for Lee, Eunan and myself to be invited.
"Although the visit was eye opening for us all and a very humbling experience, we also had lots of fun, which is the most important thing. Some of the activities they had us doing left me in stitches.
"Before I knew it, I was doing press-ups and Lee was doing his best penguin impression! And, of course, the kids taught us a lesson on FIFA 14.
"It is important that we, as an important part of the community, support organisations like Julia's House, who do so much good work for so many people in need."
Louise McKenna, lead hospice nurse at Julia's House, said: "They just mucked in and clearly enjoyed spending time with our fabulous children."

Ellison Asks Judge to End Senate Filibuster
Ellison is among four Democratic House members asking a federal judge to end the Senate filibuster.
Last week, a federal judge heard arguments in a lawsuit challenging the use of the measure in the U.S. Senate. The suit was filed by the nonpartisan government accountability group Common Cause.
According to an interview with MPR, Ellison said the filibuster has harmed democracy and prevented the passage of legislation such as the Dream Act.
"The fact is that the filibuster gives one senator more power than the founders and the Constitution ever intended," Ellison said during the interview. "And it's abused repeatedly."
Filibusters are not allowed in the House of Representatives, as the House rules limit the time allowed for debate on bills.

Athens businessman J. Bradley Horner has made a $600,000 offer for the former Mooresville-Belle Mina Elementary School property owned by Limestone County Schools.
During Tuesday's Board of Education work session, Horner proposed to buy the nearly 7-acre property at 5711 Mooresville Road through a five-year lease agreement, with a 12-month delay on the first set of payments.
"I'm asking for a 12-month delay on the first set of payments because of the amount of investments (for structural improvements)," Horner said.
Project details
Board member Earl Glaze asked whether Horner hired a structural engineer or architect, and Horner said an architect and building inspector have reviewed the property. He said he plans to build a pitched roof for $125,000, with the exterior requiring "re-skinning" and the interior needing intensive repairs.
"There is the possibility of an insulation factor that may or not be present. I don't know if it's in the old roof system because it's old wafer feel on those flat roofs," Horner said. "Our steel and concrete walls and roof systems would be built with I-joists to provide 130 mile per hour wind protection.
"The state inspector is concerned about the sprinkler system, and I'm totally aware of the price for that (from FirePro)."
Horner said he intends to renovate the defunct school building and gymnasium into a full-time daycare called Asher Academy.
"The purpose of the building would be a daycare Monday through Friday, and we would allow the community to lease it on weekend for reunions and other events," Horner said.
Business plan
Board member Anthony Hilliard asked whether Horner, who does not have prior experience owning a daycare, had researched the business plan for his proposal.
"It would take 60 students to break even, and pay for the staff and energy consumption," Horner said. "The building can handle up to 300 so we would be running at about 20 percent capacity at that point. Once we get above 60, we'll be running at a good profit."
When asked by Superintendent Dr. Tom Sisk if the property could become a Huntsville-annexed portion of Limestone County, Horner said a loophole exists to prevent annexation since the site is not completely surrounded by annexed land.
"The property is not in the city limits of Huntsville because it's still owned by Limestone County Schools," Horner said. "It's only (annexed) on three sides — the south, east and north sides — but the farmland on the west is not."
Horner said he has assembled a group of investors willing to take on the risk of converting the school, which closed in 1991 due to declining enrollment, into a profitable business. He said if the project failed, the school system would not be responsible for any costs associated with redevelopment.
"I have private investors willing to invest in the long-term goal with all private monies because they can see the profitability," Horner said. "The purchase would be as-is. It would go from being a liability to an asset, and turn an eyesore into an opportunity."
Horner said pending board approval, it could take "6 to 8 weeks to get the project going," with four months for the roof upgrade, four months for interior work and a month to market the new business. He said he anticipated finishing the daycare by August 2014.

For the first time in four years, each high school wrestling team from Murray and Whitfield counties is eyeing the Conasauga Cup.
North Murray and Coahulla Creek are hoping to reign supreme above their nearby rivals for the first time in — well, ever.
"We circle it every year," North Murray coach Steve Colley said. "This year, our seniors want to win it."
The Colts and Mountaineers join Dalton, Murray County, Northwest Whitfield and Southeast Whitfield at Dalton High's gymnasium today for the annual duals tournament and chance for bragging rights among local grapplers. The event starts at 5 p.m.
"It's about pride," Southeast coach Michael Herndon said. "For this area, I think it's a big deal."
Plus, there's the possibility for matchups between some of the area's top wrestlers. It could be a rematch between Dalton's Sidney Wheeler and Southeast's Austin Allen in the 182-pound weight class after the two met in the weight class' championship round of last month's Carpet Classic, where Wheeler became the first this season to defeat Allen.
Maybe it's a matchup between Murray County's Clay Thornbury and Northwest's Jordan Lewis at 195. Or Coahulla Creek's Austin Coker could meet North Murray's Ethan Center at 160.
"It's good competition," Murray County coach Chris Thornbury, Clay's father, said. "It's good for the kids because we're all close to each other. They all know one another and are friends."
The six teams are divided into two three-team pools — Coahulla Creek, Dalton and Murray County in one; North Murray, Northwest and Southeast in the other. Each team wrestles the other two in its pool and the pool winners face off for the championship.
The tournament field didn't include Coahulla Creek last year, when Southeast's Raiders won the cup for the first time since the competition resumed its yearly occurrence during the 2005-2006 season. Murray County missed the event during the 2011-2012 season, when Dalton won. The year prior, the event wasn't held due to weather.
Coahulla Creek has only had a varsity wrestling team for two years, one less than North Murray.
"I think we're ready. I know Northwest and Dalton are stacked this year," said Colley, whose Mountaineers didn't compete at the Area 5-3A duals due to an incomplete lineup. "We're healthy. This time last year I could barely put a team together because we were so beat up."
The Conasauga Cup was a four-team faceoff between Dalton, Murray County, Northwest and Southeast when the event was started by former Murray County coach Tony Plavich. His aim was to get local teams on the same mat no matter what Georgia High School Association classification they were placed in. Schools alternate hosting.
"We want 'the turtle,'" Northwest coach Allen Tucker said of the trophy topped with a plastic turtle. "We want to bring it back to Northwest. ... It's one tournament at a time and the next one is the cup. If we wrestle like we should, we should have a chance to bring the turtle home."
Since Murray County coach Thornbury restarted the competition in 2005, the Indians have won it the most (four times) while Dalton, Northwest and Southeast each have claimed it once.
"It means a lot to us to perform well," coach Thornbury said, "and it's the local schools — for us, it's a big deal and I like to think it's a big deal for everybody."

Abram Brown, Forbes Staff
I write about people who build businesses.
Gerry Sullivan tries to live within moderation. He avoids cigarettes, but will occasionally drink—a few beers while watching a hockey game. When he went to Las Vegas a while back, he did not stray beyond his self-imposed $200 limit, as buddies played for hours on the craps table, the game that offers the best odds, he notes. He sometimes puts money on the horses, though he is careful to study past champions, and his wife must bless each bet.
Nevertheless, by virtue of running the Vice Fund (VICEX, $19.57), Sullivan is immensely familiar with companies peddling sin. Sullivan took over the USA Mutuals fund nearly a year ago now, after running a smaller fund at Claremont Investors. The Vice Fund devotes at least 80% of assets, and often more, to four types of equities: alcohol, aerospace-defense, tobacco and gaming. Like many funds with an unconventional bent, it's not cheap, with a 1.81% expense ratio.
With its portfolio of indulgences, the Vice Fund does tend to be hardy: It returned 11% last year, while the S&P 500 returned only 2%. A year earlier, it returned 18% versus the S&P 500′s 15%. A recent run of bad luck with its casino holdings means a tougher comparison this year, where it's up just 0.2% on the index. This hurt its annualized five-year return as well: The fund is now virtually flat compared to a 0.5% loss in the S&P 500.
I spoke with Sullivan to learn more about how the fund—and where he's rolling the dice.
FORBES: People like to label the fund as recession-proof. Is that an accurate analysis?
Gerry Sullivan: As a basket, the stocks do tend to work well together, and over the long term, beat the market or at least hang with it. Over extended periods of time, we're less volatile than the market too.
I have to admit that recently, we were up almost 4% to the S&P 500 for the year, and then in a period of less than six weeks, we fell to about 0.5%—simply because we're not a diversified fund. All you need to have is one or two sectors going out of favor, and we will underperform.
F: It's important to make the stocks work in tandem?
GS: Take alcohol and gaming, for instance. Through modeling I've found that alcohol trades almost inversely to gambling. So when gambling stocks are hurting, I'll shift a bit to tobacco.
F: How is the portfolio positioned now?
I feel investors should know that Las Vegas Sands is an Integrated Resort and not just the gambling stock that some would think. The reason I want to invest in a company that runs an Integrated Resort like Las Vegas Sands is the differences over company's that try and have a similar experience. Indian Casinos are not run the same way Las Vegas Sands is. They do not have high end stores and my wife will not see a Jimmy Choo or a British fashion label, French Connection in an Indian Casino. The Marina Bay Sands in Singapore has that and sells over 11 million a monthe in high end merchandise. Disneyland will never have a one million dollar limit on one hand of Baccarat like at the MBS. Indian Casinos, Disneyland, Ocean Cruise Lines,Sports Bars,or any other company is not Las Vegas Sands. All the hotels in the world can't get the kind of revenue per night LVS gets. If you want to talk about the VIP market or the Mass Market the management team for LVS has captured every potential available. Adelson could take this company private any time he wanted to but he wants the biggest chain of Integrated Resorts in the world. This investment will grow over the next 10 years far more than many investors realize. The chance that any other company will ever take the lead over Las Vegas Sands is impossible given the advantage in the market place they now have. With dividend's going up and revenue going up the share price makes this the best value in the market. With 23 billion in assets and over 4 billion in cash in the bank how can anyone not see the value. The revenue is increasing over 30 % and going up and Gross Profit Margins of 48.08% are higher than the top 5 of the competition by as much as 20%. This is because of the Integrated Resort concept that everyone is running to copy. Adelson also wants transportation to the Integrated Resorts to be World Class. High Speed Trains,the best airline routes, and the best roads,freeways,cruise ships,ferry's and bridges. Manilla will open new casinos and they will not have this and even many of the locations that LVS build's in Asia will not have this but Macau,Singapore, and Spain will and that is what will drive revenues beyond anything we can imagine.
Very good READ !!!
Craps does not offer the best odds. Blackjack does. Infact, craps has about 3 times the house edge compared to blackjack.

Comments about cannondale QUICK CX 4:
I purchased this bike at the beginning of the year with the intent to commute 30-35 mins to work. Haven't done that more than once. Bad Me!
I have used it quite a bit on the weekends. It's very lightweight and
handles well. I really like the gear shift mechanism. I bought it on sale and it came with disc brakes, which are awesome!
My only concern with it is that the frame squeaks and pops at bit.
that may be due to it being aluminum?

I've had the CX4 since the beginning of May and I'm closing in on a 1,000 miles! It's a great bike for around town, but I also have been using it for "Bike-packing" and is sturdy enough for a big load. I haven't had any trouble with it in all this time, and I'd recommend this bike to friends.

Comments about cannondale QUICK CX 4:
I have used this cycle to get back into biking, and I have to say it is hands-down the best bicycle I have ever owned. I mostly use it for recreation and occasional commutes. What's great about it, where to start? How about the lightweight frame, durable tires (and I should know, I live on a 5 mile gravel road). The seamless shifting, there's just too much to list. Well will sy to ensure the bike is assembled by a Cannondale specialist as there are so many high-end components. This is definitely not a Schwinn or a Huffy. Although those are not bad brands at all. Bottom-line there are more good things than bad with this bike and I have already put 50 miles on mine. If you're looking for a bike that has it all, the CX4 Quick is where it's at!

February 26, 2004
DALLAS (SMU) – The Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University has announced that Fort Worth artist Janet Tyson is the winner of the 2003 Moss/Chumley Artist Award. The award, which carries a cash prize of $1,500, is given annually to an outstanding North Texas artist who has exhibited professionally for at least 10 years and who has a proven track record as an active community advocate for the visual arts. Tyson will receive the award, which was offered this year in the category of sculpture, construction and assemblage, on March 18 at an evening reception at the Meadows Museum.
Tyson, who is best known for her sculptures with Lego bricks, was selected from among 14 applicants by a three-member jury that included Dallas artist and art dealer David Quadrini; Dr. Richard Brettell, adjunct senior curator of SMU's Meadows Museum, and professor of aesthetic studies and director of the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Museums at the University of Texas at Dallas; and A. Kate Sheerin, assistant curator of the Meadows Museum and a specialist in historic and contemporary Texas art.
"Tyson creates vivid objects, that are at the same time images, using materials that evoke the beginnings of play," said Quadrini. He noted that the jury was impressed by her body of work and by her long-term commitment to the local art world.
A Michigan native, Tyson moved to Fort Worth in 1986 and for the next 13 years served as the staff art critic for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In 1994 she earned an MFA from Texas Christian University. She began experimenting with sculptures from Legos about six years ago, when her children started playing with them. She has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout Texas, writes for art and museum publications, and curates small-scale exhibitions at such venues as Four Walls in Fort Worth. She was most recently part of the group show "Altered States" at the University of Texas at Dallas, curated by John Pomara, and her work is currently exhibited in the American Institute for Architects Gallery in Dallas's Design District.
Established in 1995, the Moss/Chumley Award is given in memory of Frank Moss and Jim Chumley, two Dallas art dealers who made outstanding contributions to the visual arts in North Texas during the 1980s. The pair operated the Nimbus Gallery on Routh Street from 1980-87 and the Moss/Chumley Gallery at the Crescent from 1986-89, where they showcased numerous new artists.
The award is a gift from the Moss/Chumley Memorial Fund, which was begun in 1989 by Frank Moss and the Meadows Museum as a tribute to Chumley; Frank Moss's name was added to the memorial fund upon his death in 1991. The award is open to artists who reside in one of 11 North Texas counties: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant or Wise. Each year, the award is presented in one of three categories. The 2004 competition, which will be offered in the category of photography, video, performance or installation art, will begin this fall. For additional information or to obtain entry forms, please contact Jo Szymanski at the Meadows Museum, 214.768.3650.

Ohio police are investigating the death of a woman whose last known residence may have been Terre Haute.
The body of 44-year-old Kayla Herchelroath Archer, also known as Dee Dee Herchelroath, was found Friday in a ditch in Cedarville Township near Xenia, Ohio.
Her body was positively identified on Monday by detectives with the assistance of Ohio's Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification.
Maj. Eric Spicer of the Greene County (Ohio) Sheriff's Department told the Tribune-Star that Archer had a prior criminal history, and that she was identified through fingerprints.
The manner and method of her death have not been released by the Montgomery County (Ohio) Coroner's Office, which conducted an autopsy on Saturday. However, Spicer said it is clear that Archer is a homicide victim.
Archer was originally from Harrisburg, Pa. It was unknown how long she had resided in the Terre Haute area. Spicer said she was not believed to be living in the Ohio area where her body was found. Her next of kin has been notified of her death, he said.
At about 5:50 p.m. Friday, Ohio deputies responded to a rural area where Archer's body had been dumped in a ditch.
Archer's Facebook page listed her current city as Terre Haute and stated that she worked at TRW Automotive in Paris, Ill. Her last entry on her Facebook page was May 27 when she wrote, "Back to work. I really like my job. Yet, I still need that rest. I was exhausted yesterday. The pay is nice yet, need rest."
An inquiry to the Vigo County Sheriff's Department revealed that Archer had not been reported to local authorities as a missing person.
Terre Haute Police Chief John Plasse said on Tuesday that the Ohio investigators contacted THPD about Archer.
"We were made aware that her body was found there," Plasse told the Tribune-Star. He declined to release any other information about a possible investigation in Terre Haute.
Ohio television media reports that Archer is the third body found dumped in that state's Greene County in the past three years. Spicer said police do not believe her death is related to the other cases.
Anyone with information about Archer is asked to contact Ohio police by calling 937-562-4879.

California Governor Vetoes Transparency Bill
Altaf Rahamatulla on October 7, 2010 - 1:47pm
Last month, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed AB 2666, a strong bill sponsored by Asm. Nancy Skinner that would have required the state's Franchise Tax Board to compile information on corporate tax expenditures and publish the information on California's Reporting Transparency in Government website. The Governor had previously spearheaded accountability reforms and repeatedly emphasized the right of California taxpayers to know where the state directs public funds, especially during an economic downturn. However, in defense of the veto, the Governor contends that the state already publishes annual reports on certain expenditures and claims the legislation would place an undue burden on business.
