Hi Christina. You never knew about me but I would like to write here for you and your family. It is really sad what happened that night. When I read these comments from your family I see the pain in their hearts. This pain and sadness can not be described in words. You have left your family at such a young age of 20. I hope RCMP finds everyone who did this to you. Even though I am not from Canada I would like to visit your grave one day. May God give peace to your family.

Theres not one minute that i dont think of you,You are painfully missed sis. <3 love you so much, See you again someday <3
5 years, 11 months
A spring without you, a summer to follow and on and on.....I wished this were over and you had just moved away and decided you were coming back, The excitement and Joy I would feel I would probably have a heart attack..LoL. Its funny how we take people for granted and the ones we love the most disappear while the ones who are undeserving are here with us who don't deserve a kind word, a big hug, or life for that matter. I wished I could trade your life for someone else as the all the people who did this to you shouldn't be here and I hope they have terrible lives with sad dreams making sure they wake up every morning knowing what they did to you and knowing they should not be here. Chris; you and I chatted lots before you passed and there were people who you did not want in your life as they dragged you down and the amount of sadness / problems they brought around you I agree you were better off. Its to bad you and I didn't move before this happened as we planned. With everything aside Chris are and always be more important then most everyone here and I consider it to be a punishment that these people have to be here living with what they have done everyday of their pathetic lives, and you are the lucky one as you don't have to ever deal with hurt and pain ever again. I tell you this Chris I will make things right and I am going to make changes like I should have done while you were alive, things are going to be different and I will try to be everything you would expect me to be...You will never go unnoticed and you will never be forgotten as you will be with me till the day I see you again as I will be one of the lucky ones who gets to see you again...This I know.
Love you more than Everything here!
One Day Christina....Cant Wait ya Goof!

It broke my heart Chris when I heard you had passed but it when I found out the people who did this to you dot off I felt sick to my stomach. You gave people the benefit of the doubt and even if someone wronged you...You still gave another chance knowing that there was a possibility for change. I wished I wished I were half the greatness you were, I shared a bond with you that cannot be replicated, I shared the greatest love for you and I grieve the deepest pain. I didnt have bad days around you, I remember at Christmas last year I was kind of bummed and you made a joke and I laughed and turned my head, when I turned back to look at you bug you, you were making finny faces..You were such a goof, I would like to think you got some of that from me. You made things worth fighting for, and you made me feel that life was worth living with all of its ups and downs. I know you are with me, with all the strange things that happen I know its you. I hope every night that I dream of you and I watch Sylvia Browne in hopes that maybe you will send me a message, I still don't believe your gone yet,sounds weird but I still hope I will hear another one of your goofy voice mails or you will make fun of me on facebook...lol. You saved me Chris and for that I thank you, You have always been my angel in discuise and now you really are. I know that when time comes we will meet up and carry off with the goofiness that we enjoyed so much in life...lol, Cant wait. Love you so much Chris..R.I.P, No One will ever take your Place!!

I dont know what happened and so much and so much has been said but what really happened to you and no matter what you didnt deserve this.I was alway so worried about you. I staill have a hard time believeing that you are gone and wont be phoning me anymore or anything. My little sis i miss you and feel so bad for you. I hope more than anything that you never suffered at all. I go by your graveyard and where you were found all the time and it is so upsetting . I cant even listen to music with out relating it to you somhow. I wish i could have protected you like i have always tryed to protect you all. Im sorry i couldnt have been there to helo you Chris.. I hope that you are in a good place and at peace. I know that now you are safe where you are and dont have to worry about any of the life stresses that are here everyday.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
If Lang can play vs. Lions, does he play guard or tackle?
Green Bay - Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy will have more trouble finding 46 healthy guys for the Lions game than he will deciding which seven should be inactive.
Five players are out - CB Charles Woodson (collarbone), LB Clay Matthews (hamstring) , DE C.J. Wilson (knee), RB James Starks (knee) and WR Jordy Nelson (hamstring) and one is doubtful - DE Mike Neal (shoulder). Another, LB Terrell Manning (shoulder) is questionable.
One guy McCarthy will have to keep active despite an ankle injury that has rendered him questionable is RT T.J. Lang.
The Packers did not add OT Andrew Datko off the practice squad despite preparing him all week for that possibility, leaving them with six healthy linemen and Lang. There's no way they would go into a game with just six available offensive linemen so Lang has been cleared to play in some fashion.
So the big question is whether Lang, who practiced on a limited basis Friday, is available only on an emergency basis or for full-time duty. The Packers obviously saw enough from him on Friday and liked the way he recovered on Saturday to feel he could be one of their seven active linemen.
All week long, rookie Don Barclay. who replaced Lang after he got hurt last week against Minnesota, trained at right tackle and would be more than ready to start. So Lang could be designated for play only if an injury occurs.
But let's assume that Lang is available for full-time duty. Do you put him at right tackle or do you return him to his natural left guard position knowing you've got Barclay ready to go?
Barclay is a solid run blocker and with snow falling as we speak, it might be better to have your best run-blocking unit in the game, which would be Lang at guard and Barclay at tackle. It would mean putting Evan Dietrich-Smith on the bench or moving him into the center position if veteran Jeff Saturday (foot) is struggling with his injury.
Saturday practiced on a limited basis all three days and is probable.
When asked on Thursday about where Lang would play when he comes back, offensive line coach James Campen was non-committal. In fact, he seemed to leave it wide open to any number of possible combinations.
"I don't know how to answer it," Campen said. "The point is, we have a lot of good football players. Whoever's in there is expected to start and win and play to a winning performance. That's what matters. It doesn't matter of if it's Greg Van Roten to Jeff Saturday to T.J. Lang to whoever it is."

The best offensive line has Lang at guard.Hide replies
You are correct, sir.
i thought lang played for the packers?
Funny PB, I got it.
True, pb, it may not even be the best o-line in the state.
i don't think it's a coincidence the team with the best o-line in the state fired their o-line coach during the season.
Lang = left guard for sure. There should be at least one decent limeman on the left side.....even if he's playing with a bad arm and bad ankle.
The Saints brought in an extra OL to protect Brees and he still had a wide open receiver. Should we consider that? I think Land if he plays should go back to left guard and put Barclay out at tackle with some help if needed.Hide replies
I think Barclay will get the start at RT w//some help like you suggested.Question is,if he does play well, will they begin to leave him out on his own and see how he does 1 on 1 with Cliff Avril as the game progresses?
I favor Lang at LG...Bark deserves a start at RT, it will be a good game for him to get a taste of an active D line...if Saturday isn't getting it done then stick EDS at C to see what happens ..
Id like to see the Don Barclay RT experiment continue.SO far so good! YES, its a small sample but vs a very good defense he held his own and Lang is a better LG then a RT.
Plus it puts a slumping Even DS on the bench.

There were also warnings for us of the personal and communal consequences that may happen if schism occurs in the C of E.

How many did you run?
Me: 195.4, up from 3.2 last month. Yeah. Most since September 2012; next up, 200+.
Doesn't this break some rules on your sticky thread?
What, counting my miles before they're hatched?
Was more thinking along the lines of the 6006% mileage increase.
Ssh! Don't TELL anyone! But that is pretty impressive, isn't it?
Actually June was basically a lot of hiking and backpacking, rather than running, and as I was running ~40mpw in May I didn't have a problem with jumping pretty immediately up to 31, then to 47 where I stayed for 3 weeks. I think one can be more aggressive with mileage increases if it's to a level one's been before.
Texas - you're the only person I know who runs MORE miles on vacation.
NACN - heal up!
10 1:12:59 (2014) 13.1 1:35:55 (2013) 26.2 3:23:31 (2013)
Last: Steamworks Half 6/7 1:36:28 | Next: Imogene Pass Run 9/6

I think one can be more aggressive with mileage increases if it's to a level one's been before.
No doubt. I checked out your blog thingy and that UK trip looked fantastic.
235 for me this month, i was a little aggressive with my build up through the weeks
then, hopefully i'll finish with 59 into august by the 2nd or 3rd.

Running the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile on April 6, 2014
239 miles for July and 1,329 miles year-to-date.
spiral out...keep going
2013-14 5k-17:52 (PR), 5M-29:38 (PR), 10k-36:59 (PR), Half-1:24:06, Full-2:57:20(PR)
336 (with alot of trial miles) first 50 miler on August 25!
Genuinely curious.... For those of you who run in the high 200's and more... do you work? I'm NOT being snarky, I'm just trying to see how others cram all those miles in!
270ish. Was hoping for 300, but got lazy around the middle of the month.
331 with one day off. Probably highest month ever but I'm not good at record keeping
RunningShaz - For me key to getting the miles up is to run every day and have to cut other things like TV (I don't even turn it on most days). I work full time with 45min to 1hr commute each way. Sleep suffers too but I try to make up on the nights before recovery run days
Up next: NY Marathon
PRs: 5k: 19:04(4/13) 20k: 1:21(8/12) HM: 1:27(3/12) FM: 3:05(10/12)
You know the average american watches 34 hours of TV a week!!!! I run less than 8 hours a week, and that gets me almost 250 miles/month. If you make it a priority, you can do it.
There are lots of ways to squeeze miles in. Some people do a lot on weekends, some do it early in the morning, some can run into work, some run twice a day to get the miles in however they can. I do a combination of all of those.
PR's: 5K - 17:16, 10K - 37:06 (HM Split), HM - 1:18:14, M - 2:55:58
2014 Goals: Run 2600 3000 miles.
PRs: 5K - 21:43 (1/13), 10K - 44:46 (3/13), 10 mile - 1:11:39 (5/13), Marathon - 3:29:09 (5/13)
165. far from my best month, 230ish
2014: 5k 19:51 19:29 19:19 - 10k 40:07 40:03 39:55 - HM 1:28:06 1:27:38 - FM 3:30:07 3:21:19 3:13:19
July: 164
Next marathon: Roth Germany.
155. Hopefully getting closer to 200 in August and September in prep for Toronto Oct 20th.
243, took it easy the first two weeks of the month.
"But the from way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it." - Rafiki
For me (and I have very moderate mileage), it's doing a few doubles and taking fewer days off; those little changes make a huge difference.
I'm not a time-management expert, but look for "windows" of time and try to expand them. e.g. I have flexibility to come in to work a bit earlier and leave later so I can run at lunch time. Or I push dinner back and run between work and (a late) dinner. For a lot of people it's expanding that window between sleep and work first thing in the morning.
And try to take advantage of what would otherwise be "wasted" time. Earlier in life I'd take kids to sport's practice and run while they were doing that. Consolidating some meal prep might be another example.
A 16 y/o XC Runner stuck in a 50 y/o body.
Like others have said, I find ways. Monday I was home from work with my 8mo daughter, put her down for a nap, grabbed the monitor and hit the treadmill. Last Saturday I was home by 7:45am having done 20. I run long (12ish) during lunch a couple of days a week and then work through lunch to make up for it another day. Just here and there you find ways to fit it in. TV? What the heck is that? In years past I wouldn't've missed 1 hour of the whole Tour de France. This year I probably watched 1 hour total, which is a shame as I heard Corsica was beautiful.
It does stink though, that most people sacrifice sleep for training. Sleep is so important for recovery, but I understand. Where else is the time available?
5k: 18:11; 10K: 38:58; HM: 1:27:30; Full: 3:12:00. Looking to drop that last number by about 5 minutes and get to Boston in '15.
Yeah, I have no TV and no kids, plus a pretty easy commute but I do work seven days a week and I don't have a lot of flexibility in the schedule..M-F I'm at work from about 8:30am till 8:30pm and on weekends, I'm doing manual labor at my rental properties...I think the solution is to retire! Or find a way to get by on less sleep!
If you're working over 60 hours/week, I think it would be tough to get the miles up. I struggled with that for years before deciding a couple of years ago that my health was more important than my job. It's all about priorities. For me it used to be Work, Family, Health. Now it's Family, Health, Work.
RunningShaz you are doing great. The balance of life nonetheless. If you have some work things getting in the way, take advantage of those opportunities and running will always be here. My Wife and I had twin girls 12 months ago, so Family was obviously #1. I'd say now I'm Family, Office and then Training.
Frank, I'm really glad to see that response... I am picturing all the high mileage runners working crazy hours like I do! I'm retiring later this year, so I anticipate more miles in my future!
164mi - personal best for me, but only til next month.
337 miles for July, 1847 miles for 2013 (and I work full time, spend time with my 4 month old daughter, some of that time while pushing her around in her BOB running stroller, get more miles in on after dinner shorter runs with my dogs and I still manage to probably watch 20 hours of television a week and sleep 7 hours a day).
On Deck: 07/19 - Harding Hustle 50K, 07/26 - Tijuana Marathon, 08/02 - Angeles Crest 100 Miles, 11/15 - Canyon City Marathon.PR's - 100 Miles - 21:54:46, 100K - 10:41:00 (02/2013), 50 Miles - 8:00:37 (01/2013), 50K - 5:50:25 (10/2013), Marathon - 3:27:21 (05/2013), Half Marathon - 1:33:36 (05/2013).
250 miles.
When I'm not running I usually am in repose, where half-naked women fan me and feed me grapes or whatever else I desire.
When I worked 12 hour days regularly I ran much less, was overweight and miserable; you're doing much better.
Hehe, I didn't mean to hijack this thread, but y'all are making me feel MUCH better!
183 in July, down from 225 in June.
Run with me: http://runkeeper.com/user/RunningForMyLife/profile

I'm a high school teacher, so I don't work over the summer. But then, I ran 340 in May too.
This time I attribute my 300+ miles to being out of work, among other things. I have done 3 previous 300+ mile months in my 14 year distance running "career", all those while working. I do find running that much leaves very little time for any other recreational activity (when working), and it does take over my life. I personally would not want to do this all the time, too much else out there. But right now it fit my life so there it is. Everyone budgets their time to their own liking based on their priorities. We all get 24 hours in a day. The biggest time waster I hope to avoid in my next job is commuting 1.5+ hours per day in a car. I like TV, makes a good recovery activity from running.
45-50 hours a week, and I have two little kids. Things are easier right now because my wife (HS teacher) is on summer vacation, but that mostly means that I can get up at 5:30-6 to run instead of earlier.
One of the many perks of being in computer science is the flexibility of schedule. It's NBD if I don't get to to work until 10am, and I can do work after my kids go to bed. So the hours that go into my work week are all over the place. I can't remember the last time I just sat and watched TV, FWIW.
Getting more miles with a spouse, kids, and a job is probably 50% having an understanding spouse and 50% just making it a priority.
I work 40 hours at least each week and I also work a rotating shift so my hours change every 7-10 days. My 5 kids are all grown up so that gives me the time to run 15-20 hours per week and the wife does not mind my time spent running.
Retired last March. Ran 2800 miles in 2012 but averaged 3300 mpy the last 5 years. I worked a 40 hr week, and single parent to three. Before I retired I would run early in the morning, sometimes during lunch [or an extended lunch since I had lots of vacation time] and again [sometimes] after work, home work, dinner, etc... I'm on pace to run 2900-3000 miles this year, less miles than when I worked full time.

I fully enjoy teaching music and theater to others and spreading the art of performance, reaching out to all generations. I believe in customizing every lesson to be unique for my students in a way that will serve their individual needs. I teach with patience and encouragement and believe that students prosper and improve much more from a positive experience. My lessons are intended to be fun and influential in a positive light that can lead to a rewarding career, hobby, or just for personal enjoyment!
Every since I was a little girl, I have been devoted to the arts. When I began college, I knew that music was my path. As a music major I developed a deeper understanding of music theory, piano, voice, and theater. I received my A.A. in Music at College of the Desert and my Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Redlands- which I attended on a music scholarship. I have played leading roles in several operas and musicals in Southern California, including Gianni Schicchi, Die Fledermaus, La Boheme (DTL nominee), The Impresario, The Grand Duke, Patience (DTL award), Cosi fan tutte, Little Women the Musical, Seussical the Musical, and many more. I have also appeared in several concerts, opera scenes, competitions (winning music scholarships and theater awards), and worked as a singer at churches, restaurants, and in pop bands. I continue to perform and study music because performing is a part of who I am and I could never live without it.
With this experience under my belt, I feel a desire to pass on my knowledge to students. I carry a strong passion to help people develop their abilities and make them their own. I truly believe that if someone wants something out of life then they WILL achieve it with dedication, perseverance, confidence, and by having FUN doing it!

I absolutely love teaching! I've been teaching music for 25 years!
That's all I've ever known. Coming from a family of educators and musicians of two generations we wanted to do something for the community, so I co-founded Piano Play Music Systems,Inc. (an award winning inclusive private & group music program for children voted" The Best Piano School for Kids in LA") 400+ student aged 19 months -adults. I further developed an advanced group piano pedagogy series of method books by editing, creating and developing characters, lyrics for songs within the books to enhance more enthusiasm for learning with older children.
As a trained music therapist, I also co-founded Keylife Foundation,(a non-profit organization that offers services for special needs children, primarily in the autism spectrum). Developed a keyboard program and curriculum with the Braille Institute of Los Angeles and other special needs children focusing on mainstreaming them into regular classes. Music is such a gift to give to others and its an art that is non-judgemental. Its all about you. That's what I want to bring the student--to love and enjoy. If its a recital you want, you can have that too!
I am a current member Music Teachers Assn. of California which can give my students a platform to perform and participate in competetions in the future as well.
*** Lesson Details ***
I believe lessons should have balance. I am going to give my very best to you in our time together, so let's rock it. I want you to get it and hopefully love it. We know you have a life, but put some time into your excercises and music and you will see progress.
I work well with children, but love adults too! If you want fundamentals, you've got the right lady. I teach classical repertoire and technique as well as pop, rock, standards. If you want more theory or ear training, I can do that too! Just Do it !
*** Travel Equipment ***

Meanwhile, she served as concertmaster for the Azusa Pacific University Symphony Orchestra. Kan studied under professor Charles Stegeman, and recently obtained her Music Performance masters.
*** Lesson Details ***
First, I need to talk to my students about their goals. Not only for the adult, teacher also need to know what kids want to know about music. They are interested in it sometimes, they just don't know. Second, I will let them know, interests is just the first step. If you want to learn, you have to pay! Pay your patient, and your endeavor. I will teach in some specific ways to motive students to approach the goals. for example: listen, singing, playing, reading is the process to make the students catch the goal faster without lost their interests! So involve more activities in the lessons is very important! Also, serious technique practice is necessary. As I mentioned before, not only interests, if you want to learn , you have to pay. Once you catch your goal, you will feel happy that the teacher has been pushed you for some boring finger exercise.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I do have a grand piano at home.For violin students, they should have their own instrument.
*** Specialties ***

Tech companies, however glamorous, sometimes fail. Last week, this fate befell Ashton Kutcher-backed Pickwick and Weller. However, did the company bother telling its loyal customers? Ah, no.
The three are joining in on a $40 million round that will help Vicarious toward its ambitious goal: translating the brain's neocortex into code.
Lenovo has confirmed that this year it will launch a range of devices designed by Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher.
In the lead-up to the debut of the biopic "Jobs," Ashton Kutcher talks the future of mobile apps, wearable technology, and what the next Steve Jobs may look like.
The latest publicity clip for the new "Jobs" movie offers many glimpses into its arc. But there's also a very strange gray beard.
A report suggests that Ashton Kutcher is close to signing a $10 million deal to be the spokesperson for Lenovo.
The first trailer of the movie starring Ashton Kutcher as the Apple co-founder has gone live, and you can watch it here now.
Kutcher weighs in on a wide variety of topics in his keynote "fireside chat" on the last day of the CTIA Wireless show.
TMZ, Hollywood's nosy aunt, obtains pictures of Ashton Kutcher dressed in black turtleneck and baggy bright blue jeans. Is the image convincing?
The film, starring Ashton Kutcher as late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, was originally set for release next month.

I write about media and tech
Hillary Clinton has launched a semi-mysterious new website now that she's returned to life as a private citizen. The site, hillaryclintonoffice.com, contains nothing but a big picture of Clinton in front of a blue background and an expandable contact form allowing site visitors to reach out to Clinton for scheduling requests, media inquiries and whatever else they might want to speak to her about.
Clinton has been ambiguous about her plans to run in the 2016 election, where she would likely be the favorite to win the Democratic nomination, so any public move she makes is bound to be intensely scrutinized. The website has already generated a flood of tweets declaring it the unofficial start to a new campaign:

If she doesn't run for President, I'd be shocked: hillaryclintonoffice.com
— Kyle Bella (@quixoticblazes) February 4, 2013
While the site was likely just established by Clinton as a way to make it easy to get in touch her now that she's out of office, the large presidential looking picture, the font her name is written in (which basically screams campaign) and the fact that the word "office" is included in the url do not do much to ease the speculation. Just slip the word "for" in the url and add a donate page and you basically have a campaign website.
While it's not necessarily fair that every move Clinton makes from here on will be tied to 2016, that's the way it is going to be. And who knows, the buzz might just be what Clinton wants.

I hope she retires from government and uses her influence to improve our country in the private (charity) arena. I left her a message to this effect. One can hope she follows her husband's path rather than more government. Plus Bill needs her supervision.
We have enough people running charitable organizations. Hillary Clinton is the most qualified politician the United States has produced in years. She better run, or I'll eat my hat.
If she were elected in 2016, she would be close to beating out Ronald Reagan for the oldest person to ever be elected president. I know health care has improved, but being president is immensely demanding. Anyone who has turned 65 knows that things just don't work the way they used to, and you just can't risk the fate of your presidency in the hands of someone who not only could die, but quite simply just doesn't have the same intellectual capacity or stamina she once had. I would love for a 55-69 year old Hillary Clinton to be president. Unfortunately, that time was for Obama. a 70-78 year old Hillary could be a bit dodgy.
What makes you say in the next election "she would likely be the favorite to win the Democratic nomination"? I don't think she would be different enough from Barack Obama to beat the republican. My $0.02
Alex, I think that all of those tweets are right. I am guessing that she will be running for office. It's 2013 we have an African American President, and I think that people are comfortable/supportive of a female President. Do you think that she will be running?
Hillary Clinton like Angela Merkel, are shining examples of the positive impacts women are making in the political and social conversations worldwide. Although she has been accused of being too ambitious, Hillary has bucked the stereotypical reality of what she was expected to be. Her life should serve as a profound example for young women worldwide. To read more on the evolution of women go to thegreaterbooks…. And click on 'Are Women the Superior Gender?'
Will no one rid us of this meddlesome woman?
She was a bust as Senator and a bust as Secretary of State. Why does anyone believe she'd be anything but a bust as president?
The end of free America as we know it and the beginning of Socialist America.

Major boost for private enterprise
Friday, 02 August 2013
Aldershot's local economy received a welcome boost today when an initiative to help ex-service personnel set up in business was approved.
Councillor Seán Woodward, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council, approved - at his Decision Day today - the provision of a start-up fund of £160,000 to create and manage an enterprise centre at Mandora Officers' Mess in Aldershot.
The centre - intended primarily for personnel who leave HM Forces, their families, veterans and reservists - will also be available for use by people in the wider community who want to set themselves up in business. It will promote growth, job creation and sustainable employment in the Aldershot area by providing commercial work space for fledgling enterprises, as well as business support and advice. Mandora Officers' Mess is a Ministry of Defence office building that is partly vacant and ideally located to become an enterprise centre.
Subject to all parties agreeing terms, private company WSX Enterprise will take on the lease of the Officers' Mess, and the associated costs of running and managing the centre. The grant, which is dependent on a lease being signed, will be used to fit out the centre and for start up costs for the first two years - after this period the centre is forecast to turn a profit, all of which will be ploughed back into business support initiatives for ex-Armed Forces personnel and the wider community.
Hampshire has a historic and long-standing close relationship with the Armed Forces and has a wider range of military facilities than any other county in the UK. Hampshire was chosen as one of the Welfare Pathway Pilots and was one of the first local authorities to sign the Armed Forces Community Covenant.
An effective partnership has been forged between the three Armed Forces, Hampshire County Council, district and borough councils, the NHS and others to ensure that service personnel, their families, veterans and reservists have access to the help and support they need.
Councillor Woodward commented:
"Small businesses are a major contributor to the County's economy. This support will enable WSX Enterprise to create a flexible, affordable business space in which Aldershot start up companies can grow and flourish. Armed Forces personnel who leave the services have a wide range of skills and the enterprise centre will give them access to all the tools they need to harness these and start their own business. On offer will be flexible work space advice, support and training.
"We have worked hard with our partners, including Her Majesty's Forces and Rushmoor Borough Council to bring this to fruition, a testament to our commitment to Aldershot and to the Armed Forces, which plays such an important role in the area's economy. It will show that self-employment is a viable option for many, and will provide a stimulus for future job creation."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures rallied by nearly $20 an ounce Monday to settle at their highest level in a month, finding support from a weaker U.S. dollar on the back of optimism over talks to avert the Jan. 1 fiscal cliff of spending cuts and tax hikes. The precious metal also got a safe-haven demand boost from worsening violence on the Gaza Strip. Gold for December delivery rose $19.70, or 1.2%, to settle at $1,734.40 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. That was the metal's highest settlement since Oct. 18, according to FactSet data.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — WASHINGTON – Muskegon's Andy Ruthkoski started the second round of the Michigan Open Championship on Tuesday with one goal in mind — catch first-round leader Tom Werkmeister.
He did.
Ruthkoski, the 2007 Michigan Open champion, fired a 5-under-par 67 for a two-day score of 8-under-par 136 at the Orchards Golf Club. That left him tied with Werkmeister, who stumbled late in his round with a double-bogey and bogey in his last three holes, for a 70 and two-day 136.
The two enjoy a one-shot lead on Royal Oak's Eric Wohlfield, who shot 67 for 137. Kalamazzo's Barrett Kelpin, the defending champion, shot a second consecutive 69 and was lurking at 138.
Grand Traverse Resort and Spa head professional Scott Hebert, a six-time Michigan Open champion, shot 71 and is at 140.
Ruthkoski, a former Michigan State standout, made his only bogey of the day on No. 7, which was his 16th hole of the round. He made up for it with six birdies and a 4-under-par 32 on his front nine.
Werkmeister, meanwhile, was 11-under par for the tournament through 15 holes of his second round. Then an errant shot hit a tree and ended up in a hazard. The resulting double-bogey on No. 7 was followed by a par save from the trees on No. 8 and a bogey with a missed green at No. 9.
The 36-hole cut fell at 7-over-par 151, two shots higher than last year.

Police to launch recruiting campaign (Boston)
Anyone interested in working in Boston?
Actually I doubt it, even with the higher initial pay. Reading this story it sounds like the union is more interested in having long term dues paying members than the best applicants. That's my take, what's yours?
Police to launch recruiting campaign
Ad blitz aims to reverse a troubling downturn
By Suzanne Smalley, Globe Staff | February 19, 2007
The Boston Police Department will launch an unprecedented recruiting campaign today , counting on snazzy ads and billboards to reverse a troubling downturn in the number and quality of applicants.
The sophisticated $100,000 marketing blitz features 11 current officers working with youths, taking crime-scene photos, riding a motorcycle, and performing other duties -- all with the slogan, "Many Jobs, One Career, Boston's Future."
Designed by the department, the campaign features billboards as well as ads online, in newspapers, and at bus shelters. It also includes posters at community centers. The ad campaign will continue through April 2, the last day to sign up for the next state civil service exam on May 19. Department "ambassadors" will also fan out to job fairs and community meetings.
Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said the campaign will focus on attracting more candidates from diverse backgrounds , more candidates with language skills, and a higher-caliber pool of candidates. He said he is especially concerned with bolstering the applicant pool after a string of high-profile corruption cases, most notably the FBI arrests in July of three officers accused of guarding shipments of what they believed to be cocaine.
"This agency is dealing with internal problems, but . . . you try to put the bad behind you and move forward, and this is an opportunity to interest new groups of people," Davis said in an interview.
Davis said he is determined to attract more candidates from multiethnic backgrounds to a department in which about 36 percent of officers are members of a minority group. He plans to target the Cape Verdean community for applicants who speak Portuguese or Creole, a dialect spoken in the West African island nation. One of 11 billboards advertising the recruitment drive will be placed at the Dorchester intersection of Bowdoin Street and Geneva Avenue, one of the city's highest-crime areas, where a large number of Cape Verdean immigrants live.
"Clearly having representation from that community is an important component of an effective crime prevention program," the commissioner said.
Boston and other Massachusetts police departments use the state's civil service exam to identify and hire officers. The number of test takers interested in joining the Boston police has dropped from 5,430 in 1997 to 1,345 the last time the civil service exam was offered in 2005. Of that shrunken pool of applicants, many fail the test, meaning the real number of eligible officers is far smaller and forcing the department to hire applicants with lower scores.
The department now has 2,160 officers, plus 80 recruits in the Police Academy. Another academy class starts in June. Mayor Thomas M. Menino has pledged to add at least 50 officers this year, bringing the total to the highest number since 2001.
Despite the ambitious recruiting campaign, the Boston Police Department may face an uphill climb to draw more and better applicants, some specialists say.
The drawn-out application process common to Boston and other unionized departments in the Northeast discourages the most qualified college graduates, they say.
"They don't want to have to wait six to nine months to get a job and work nights," said Elaine Deck , a senior program manager with the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
A Boston ordinance is also a problem, some department insiders say, because it requires the department to hire all applicants who have lived in the city for at least a year and who pass the test before considering better-qualified and higher-scoring outsiders.
The rule does not put the department at a disadvantage, said police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll. "We're confident that this recruiting effort will be successful working within the parameters that we are beholden to," she said.
Still, Sergeant Detective Norman Hill, commander of the recruiting unit, said that for the first time in many years the department has exhausted the pool of candidates who reside in Boston and passed the exam. Until the results from the May exam become available, the department will hire recruits from outside the city, giving preference to military veterans and those who speak other languages, Hill said.
Boston does have some advantages.
While the national average salary for a first-year police officer is $32,000 to $34,000, first-year officers in Boston earn $49,174. Their earnings can grow significantly with paid construction details, overtime, and bonuses for a bachelor's or master's degree.
Deck said that in many police departments across the country, there are more openings than applicants because of increased competition from the private sector and federal law enforcement, because up to 10 percent of officers have been called up for military service in Iraq, and because large numbers of baby boomer officers are retiring.
Agencies have begun traveling around the country to recruit, she said, and some have even gone to Florida to pass out literature to college students on spring break .
Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, a nonprofit think tank in Washington, said competition for applicants has grown so stiff that some departments are offering incentives. For example, he said, Houston and Dallas are pitching signing bonuses of $10,000. "I don't think I've seen a more difficult time for police departments to hire," Wexler said. "It's unprecedented for departments to offer huge bonuses."

Mac Ney rushed for 290 yards on 18 carries last week as the Trojans' ran their winning streak to four straight.
"We told our kids that we are not just going to go there and compete, we are going there to win," Hatter said.
"(You can) forget about the playoffs for a second, our kids are excited to play this game," Bell added.
Last week's win over East Juniata snapped the Indians' four-game losing streak.
"We got to a slow start last week, but we responded and got some big plays, and the bottom line is that we haven't had many big plays this year," Hatter said.
"We knew coming into the season (only five seniors on the team), that, with a young team, we were going to go out and compete as much as we can," he added. "The wins and losses are not where we want them to be, but when we watched the game film from last week, we saw improvement from our quarterback, Christian Winger, a freshman and running back Cole Shomper. Plus the line was getting a great push and blowing a team off the ball for once."
During film session on Monday, Hatter noted that his kids were making comments about playing midget football with some of the kids for Upper Dauphin years ago.
Millersburg will only lose five seniors this year and will have eight to nine kids in this year's starting lineup back for next year.
"The game is heightened with them making a run for the (District 3 Class A) playoffs and we want to send our seniors out with a win," Hatter added. "It's important for us to develop momentum going into the offseason.
After scoring just 13 points in back-to-back losses in Week 4 and 5 of the season, the Trojans (6-3, 5-3 TVL) have exploded for 129 points in their last four games.
"We started to utilize our quarterback, Mac Ney, a little bit more and he made some suggestions for last week and they worked," Bell said. "We put in the zone read in the game for Tri-Valley but we wern't ready for it and Mac is a smart kid and he understands the game."
Ney has rushed for nearly 600 yards this season.
A win on Friday could improve the Trojans' playoff chances for the D3-A tournament in which Steel-High, Fairfield and York Catholic occupy the top three spots.
"We told our kids that we control our own destiny," Bell added. "We are focused on what we can control. Millersburg has a strong passing game. We have to play good pass defense and have a good pass rush."
