Somehow it seems to us that the last part of the year has presented us with any number of things about which we can wonder. It all started when the Otsego County Board voted, seemingly hastily without much advance notice, to sell Otsego Manor, the county's nursing home.
We must say, that from our point of view, we have not been given enough information about this decision to be able to accurately assess its merit. While it sounds as if selling the Manor will result in huge savings for county taxpayers, no information has been offered, to our knowledge, as to what such savings might actually be. In fact, the county seems to have been much less than transparent about the entire situation which we find most disturbing.
Not only is the silence on the issue not fair to county taxpayers, it is definitely not fair to those who live and work at the Manor. And unfortunately, the silence also gives rise to people wondering just what the county is hiding. All in all, it has been a rather unsettling situation.
And unfortunately, the decision regarding the Manor was only the beginning of our musing about what is going on at the county. The recently adopted 2012 county budget also gave us pause.
We were most distressed when we first heard that the coordinator of health insurance information services was destined to be cut from the Office for the Aging staff. This was the first year we had the opportunity to work with Dave Polley, who held that position, to figure out just what supplement Medicare insurance and Medicare Part D plan we would need. We had heard for years from friends that he was absolutely fabulous when it came to helping seniors make educated decisions about their health insurance needs. And we would not disagree at all with that assessment.

Nelson Cruz #17 of the Texas Rangers celebrates after hitting a two-run home run in the seventh inning of Game Six of the American League Championship Series against the Detroit Tigers at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on October 15, 2011 in Arlington, Texas.
Nelson Cruz set a postseason record with his sixth home run of the series, Michael Young hit a pair of two-run doubles in a nine-run third inning, and the Texas Rangers romped to a 15-5 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night that won the AL pennant in six games.
Becoming the first repeat AL champion in a decade, the Rangers will open the World Series on Wednesday night at St. Louis or Milwaukee, seeking the first title in the history of a franchise that started play in 1961.
Cruz had 13 RBIs in the series, another postseason record. Young, who also homered, had five RBIs in the finale, and the longest-tenured player on the Rangers helped make sure the World Series will again be deep in the heart of Texas.

A nice, new beer store for the West Seattle crowd. A comparable selection to all the other elite bottle shops in Seattle. Beer is organized via style, in coolers that line the shop. There is also a nice recommended/reserve section. All bottles are bought as singles, so you can easily mix your own six pack to whatever your heart desires.
The two things that make this shop stand out are the service and their email list. Morgan, the proprietor, is there all the time. He is quick to greet you, and great for helping you out with suggestions and/or finding the beer you seek. He's also incredibly down to earth - the Beer Junction is the least pretentious craft beer shop I've been to in the area.
Also, their mailing list is top notch. If you're on it, you receive emails every other week, featuring upcoming events, new beers they have put into inventory, and when they receive a couple cases of Pliny.

This was my only stop in Seattle so I can't compare it to other places in the city, but I picked because it is rated so high on BA. The room in front is small with a bar and a few tables but it is very comfortable. I like how the chalkboard is organized by lighter beers, stouts, odds beers, but it was a bit hard to read some of them and I would have liked a bit more of a description.
The long space past the bar is all coolers and a nice little wall of glassware and growlers of many sizes. You will get to visit many times if you stay for a while as the bathrooms is out the backdoor and down the hallway.
They have a great and diverse selection on tap but you can also grab a bottle from the cooler to drink aswell. I like to drink ice water during a beer session and their water was a little self-serve pitcher in the corner.
They don't have a kitchen but they will give you menus to local places. They now have a deal that you can order from the taco place next door, through the bartender, pay the bartender and the taco cook will walk the food over to you. It was really handy and very tasty.
This is a great place and even on a Monday night it was pretty full of people but it has a good energy in the space.

Beer Junction would be my go-to store if it was closer to where I live. Friendly, helpful, enthusiastic staff; a clean, well-lit space; regular beer events; reasonable pricing; well-organized, large inventory; weekly emails listing new arrivals. You can shoot them an email about a particular beer you're interested in, and usually get a response within the hour.

The Sunday Coupon Preview is out already. It looks like there will only be one Smart Source Insert but it is loaded!
Click here to take a look at what is coming. I'm excited about the $1.00/1 Boboli Pizza Crust and Hebrew National Franks coupons that it will have. These are regional inserts (South Florida) and we all know that area gets some great coupons – some that we don't get here!
Our friends over at Insert Insanity (same folks that operate my favorite clipping service, WizClipz) have a nice offer on the 1/20 Insert Packs. Save 25% with promo code TCW25!
The bigger the pack, the more you save! If you went out and bought 20 papers to get the 20 inserts that the largest pack includes you would be spending at least $50.00. Insert Packs start at $6.68 for a 2 pack up to 20 pack for $29.10 and they ship for FREE! It's a great opportunity to get the coupon stash built back up, especially since we went for what- three weeks without any coupons at all in December.

Hey Keira
Happiness. This single word encapsulates what I think 99% of the world population is trying to attain. Happiness includes wealth beyond measure. Happiness includes having children and a loving, supporting family. Happiness includes security in your own health and the well-being of all those whom you love. When I was younger and more naïve, I would agree that happiness is what we should all be trying to achieve. But let's take Micheal Jackson as an example. Micheal Jackson was called the King of Pop. He had it all. He had so much money it would be impossible for him to spend it all in his lifetime. He had two kids and was happily married to Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley's daughter. He had family, Janet Jackson his sister and his brothers who formed the Jackson 5 back in the 1960s and 1970s. I remember when I was five, I used to play his Thiller record over and over again (back when people still had record players). There was something about his old hits that were electrifying. But something happened to him. Something in his mind cracked.
Micheal Jackson bleached his skin white and he had several nose operations. If you ask me, he looks a little scary and creepy. He's fondling little kids and what not, I mean, I'm not saying those things are true, but you have to agree with me here, he shouldn't have even allowed himself to be in that kind of situation in the first place. I wonder, a man who had it all, what went wrong? It seems to me, fame and fortune isn't all what it's cracked up to be. To any who believes himself to be a true intellectual, I don't think finding happiness is what the purpose of our lives are. I think every man needs happiness in some form to stay sane, but I don't think it's the ultimate aim.
These three things about happiness: family, fortune, and security; I would give it all up in a heartbeat Keira. I would trade it all if I could just get one thing, freedom. You see, I think a man trying to find ultimate happiness will never be satisfied. Even if one could attain this euphoria, the desire will never be satiated, because then you will say to yourself, is that it? Is this all life has to offer? Is it really that easy? And this thirst for something more in life would drive a man to insanity. I've only tasted freedom for mere seconds as a child. And I haven't found it since. I read books, Keira, many books. Anything I can get my hands on that will tell me what to do. But these books, they don't give me any answers, they just give me more questions.
And I tried looking to logic, Keira. Perhaps freedom can be found in numbers. But most equations and formulas are bounded and finite, except for irrational numbers and functions, but those things can be summed in one general expression, infinity. Let's take some simple geometry. I mean, a square has finite dimensions. But a circle or a sphere, they are infinitely smooth. Why? Because of that never-ending thing they call pie, 3.141592654…etc. However, that doesn't give me any answers, that just tells me that there is something out there which behaves unbounded, theoretically speaking of course.
So I drink. You see, I don't have those three things of happiness. I have family, but they are 2000 miles away, and I only see them twice a year. I don't have security, I mean, if I had that, I would have peace of mind as well. I don't have peace of mind, Keira. And I certainly don't have money. I'm a broke-ass college student. I have to be very creative in the things I do. I told you a man goes insane without some happiness. Since I don't have a cup overflowing with happiness, I have to substitute some of those things for whiskey, beer, and sake. Alcohol helps to keep my mind clear of these things. That way, I just pump up the music and stare into space until I pass out and go to bed. I think that's better than hitting my head against the wall, utterly frustrated.
So I ask of you Keira, will you join me in my quest to find the purpose of life? I can't do it alone baby. I could try, but I think I would just end up a sad, lonely alcoholic just like all the others who have tried. Perhaps, Keira, in our love that we may feel for each other, we find freedom and we find happiness. And not that kind of crush love or that lust love. That true love that few people find. And maybe we don't have true love after all, who knows right? But I can't deny this feeling, this connection I have towards you. And I'm willing to give us a shot if you are.
After all, Keira, you can't truly know something unless you've experienced it. I want to experience you, honey. And I hope you share the same curiosity I do.
And if you don't feel the same way, that's okay too. I may be a little heartbroken, but it's nothing a little whiskey never solved. I'm sure there are other fish in the sea. But I'll always remember you as the woman I feel in love with, but never talked to. I wish you much happiness in this world and I hope you find as much happiness as you can. And if you ever find yourself at the top, but still craving something more than just fame and fortune, then knock on my door. And together we'll sit and ponder about just why the hell we're on this planet anyway. Is there a reason we were given consciousness? And after we get the shit kicked out of us by life, I'll share a bottle of some fine whiskey with you. We both can drunk off our asses and just for one night, we can forget about the pains of life. Tomorrow is another day anyway.
So anyway, if Keira came to your doorstep and asked you, "what is the purpose of life?" WHat would you say to her?
I against I,
flesh of my flesh,
and mind of my mind,
two of a kind but one won't survive,
my images reflect in the enemies eye,
and his images reflect in mine the same time,
--Mos Def

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — In recent weeks, various media outlets have discussed the challenges being faced by hospitals trying to control outbreaks of a disease called Clostridum difficile.
We would like our community to understand some basics about this and other infections seen in the nosocomial (hospital) setting. We would also like to explain our approach to preventing the same at Mount St. Mary's Hospital.
C. difficile, a common nosocomial infection, can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. It spreads as a spore which allows it to live in the environment for a long time and makes it difficult to disinfect. Illness from C. difficile frequently affects older adults in hospitals or in long term care facilities and typically occurs after use of antibiotic medications. In recent years many C. difficile infections have become severe and difficult to treat. Some resistant strains of the bacterium produce significant amounts of toxin and can cause critical illness.
Doctors have long been concerned that the overuse of antibiotics is making the treatment of bacterial infections more difficult. When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics, a few resistant strains may survive, reproduce and spread. In hospitals worldwide, including the US and Canada, there are infections that can only be treated with old and dangerous antibiotics or are completely resistant to antibiotic therapy altogether. In such a scenario, what is today a relatively mild illness such as appendicitis or a middle ear infection would carry a mortality risk similar to that seen before the discovery of penicillin. Alarmingly, a resistant bacterium can travel halfway around the world in less than a day with modern travel modalities.
What can we do? First, understand that viral infections will not respond to antibiotic therapy. Many flu-like illnesses that commonly occur are viral in nature. All that antibiotics will do in such a case is kill off many of the "good" bacteria that we all need in our digestive tract and will allow resistant bacteria (such as C. difficile) to spread. There is a resurgence of interest in the medical community regarding the protective role that these bacterial strains may play in our overall health.
Second, wash hands regularly with soap and warm water especially when ill or in contact with ill persons. Bacteria die in the presence of soap.
Third, if you or a loved one happens to be in the hospital, please follow all infection control mandates including gowns and gloves if directed to do so. This will help keep the spread of bacteria down throughout the campus.
Over the past three years, we have invested significant resources into our successful infection control and antibiotic stewardship programs. We emphasize antimicrobial streamlining and reduction in a clinically responsible manner. The recent recognition we received from Consumer Reports as the top hospital in Western New York for safety spotlights our achievements.
All hospitals are concerned about infection control and are aware that it takes a team effort involving staff, physicians, patients and visitors to be successful. We're all in this together, so please take the time to learn and digest the above information to help make our community safer from drug-resistant and difficult to treat infections.Thomas A. Cumbo, MD, is the head of Infectious Diseases Division at Mount St. Mary's Hospital, Lewiston

Volvo S60 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
taylorj Posts: 1Was quoted $35,998.90 for a '12 S60 premium package black on black. That is the out the door price(tt&l are part of that price) It includes the conquest cash and $900 rebate for the summer.
It didn't really take much negotiating so I am wondering, do you think I can do any better?
I got a 2012 T5 black on black with premium, climate, communicator, and chrome pipes for $32,775. Leased with $2,000 down (taxes and fees up front) at $350 / mth, 36mths. 10,000 miles a year. This includes conquest and the summer lease special. I think I did ok--what do you guys think? Really enjoying the car but still in honeymoon phase. Big road trip coming so we'll see if the seats are as good as everyone says.
ursus Posts: 48Sale price should have been at least $1K less: ~ $33,500 invoice - $1K conquest - ~$700 two months free = $320/month. Does your $2K down include acquisition fee or it was rolled into the lease? Also, it would be nice to know what kind of black you got - there is $550 difference in MSRP. It is very possible to get 2012 S60 for $500-$1,000 under invoice since there are plenty of them and 2013's are coming.
outsider121210 Posts: 1Just purchased a demo 2012 S60 T5 FWD for OTD price of $29,500. This is overseas through the military buying program. It is cosmic white with beachwood/beige interior and urban decor inlays. Has premium, technology, and climate package and 1500 miles. First Volvo purchase and I felt like it was a good deal but still somewhat uncertain. What do you think?
Took my new 2012 S60 T5 on a 2,000 mile trip on interstates and winding country roads, through wind, rain, and heat. I thought folks were blowing smoke when they said the seats were comfy, but unlike my previous German and Asian cars, my back and bottom never hurt one bit even after eight hours. I will say the touted climate package air filter did not filter out skunk, cow, or exhaust smells--I was hoping it would. This is a nice car that borders comfortable long-distance touring and sporty / spirited driving. I know most BMW fans will think I'm nuts, but I'd rather have the S60 than a 3 (and most definitely over the other overpriced or tired options, talking Merc and Infinity respectively). So, I just picked a fight I think.

kfaulconer Posts: 1Does anyone have any idea what kind of discount you get when you are a member of Volvo Club of America? We have an S40 and XC90, and are thinking about trading in the 40 for a 60. Don't know if the discount is more than you could get through negotiations. Any help is appreciated!
We are in Lexington, KY. Anyone know if there is a local chapter? Thanks.
I just picked up my new black s60 a few weeks ago as well, and I am LOVING those seats too! I think this car is the best value in a luxury sport sedan, out of all of them. I tested every car in the mix, from Audi to BMW, to MB, Infiniti, and Lexus, and the overall value in the Volvo made it the winner for me. Motor Trend described the seats as amongst the best out there, in "soft, chunky leather". Also love the smooth leather, juxtaposed against the textured leather with double rows of stitching. It's a class act!
Hello everyone,
Here is some info regarding the 2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design that I leased yesterday.
2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design
-Electric Silver Metallic Paint
-Multimedia Package
-Climate Package
-Blind Spot Info System
-Personal Car Communicator (key)
Invoice: $46,057
CAP cost: $43,900
U.S. Bank Credit after CAP cost: $1800
Special lease offer through US Bank that pays $450 a month as a credit for the first four months so the cost averages out to $600 a month including tax. And, the dealer is tinting the windows and they threw in all weather mats.
The car is so beautiful and fast! I think it was an awesome deal for an almost $50k car. What do you guys think? Good deal?
mikey38 Posts: 141Didn't see an S60 forum that this fits in so feel free to move it if required:
2012 S60 T5 with 1500 miles driven: First "long" highway trip notes - seats continue to be GREAT, very comfortable during a 500 mile highway trip with only a couple of pit stops along the way. Car handles well in dry and wet conditions. 29.8 mpg (hand calculated - computer showed 31.2) while cruising at 70-75 mph with 4 passengers and bags. MPG seems to drop off a little while cruising at 75+ vs 65-70
....and it's nice to be in a car that is a bit unique; there are not millions of these on the road, like the endless 3 series I see. The S60 gets so many "looks" and compliments from people on the street, it's amazing. MPG so far has been ok, not great, but thrilled to be using regular gas after putting the expensive stuff in my Lexus for the last dozen years. The handling is great, the turbo is fun, and the sporty styling belies its practicality and safety. Loving this new car!
jeffm5 Posts: 107
You mean what MPG I'm getting! (MPH is quite high, I must admit.....the turbo asks to be driven fast!!!) I basically do a lot of city driving with a bit of highway mixed in.... so far, after abouy 1500 miles, it's about 23 miles per gallon, on regular (YAY!!). Am taking a good road trip next month and I'm waiting to see how much better it will do on pure highways. THere is an 'information' thing that you can scroll through on the steering wheel, which posts various pieces of info on the dash....one of the items is "how many miles to empty". every time I fill up, it says 500. but that never happens, and this gauge is annoyingly inaccurate enough that I've turned it off.
I was a Lexus devotee for 12 years, and really wanted to buy another one, but found that the w ES was going to be an even more expensive "camry".... and to load it up with all the bells and whistles puts it almost at 50k, which is crazy. The new ES comes out in the fall and I'm sure it will be even more expensive.
The new 3 series is very nice, I drove it a few times, but I live in an area where FWD is good to have, and did not want to pay the premium for AWD and the associated drop in MPG.
The other car that seemed to be a really good value was the Nissan Maxima. but that car is in a funny middle ground, as a premium-ish car, in a non premium brand. I always preferred it's styling to that of the infiniti, which seems very dated at this point.
I'm hoping that the Volvo will prove to be a great value for a sporty, fast, safe and fun car. Hope you enjoy your new S60 too!

Resources for CSB/SJU Social Media Managers
CSB/SJU recognizes the value of new and emerging communication tools, like social media, in supporting institutional missions and communication efforts. These tools allow CSB/ SJU to create new connections and strengthen existing connections, all virtually, all in real time.
The use of these tools to meet institutional goals—whether via official university profiles or personal profiles as an official representative of the universities—should be informed by existing conduct policies and procedures—including but not limited to the Office of Information Technology's Digital Copyright Protection Policy, Terms and Conditions for the Use of Information Technology Resources, the Human Rights Office Human Rights Policy—as well as good personal and professional judgment.
Best Practices for Institutionally Affiliated Social Media Use at CSB/SJU
Managers of social media profiles on representing one or both of the colleges or a college sub-brand—including but not limited to student clubs and organizations, athletics teams, university departments—are encouraged to take the following suggestions under consideration:
Learn, and Engage by, the Rules
Be mindful of FERPA considerations when sharing confidential or proprietary information about CSB/SJU, their students, alumnae/i, and employees and staff. Pay close attention to copyright laws, especially with videos and YouTube; do not use music or images you do not have permission to use. Further, managers are encouraged to verify any use of official CSB and/or SJU imagery is appropriate. Information about using official logos can be found on the intranet page for CMS (login required).
Questions about appropriate use of content on university social media accounts should be directed to CSB/SJU Social Media Specialist Tiffany Clements.
Listen, Respond, and Adapt
As a general rule, don't treat a social media profile as a soapbox. Remember, it's called social media for a reason. When a fan or follower leaves a comment, respond (if that's the appropriate course of action, see Be Respectful for further guidance). If the comment offers criticism or a suggestion, take it under advisement and don't be afraid to change your approach to engagement.
Be Respectful
Keep customer service in mind when choosing to engage with community members who are unhappy or displeased. If the issue expressed has a solution (or you can connect the community member with someone who has a solution) do so. If it is a gripe for gripe's sake (as many negative social media/web comments are) non-engagement may be the most appropriate course of action. The U.S Air Force Web Posting Response Assessment chart can be a helpful tool in determining the appropriate course of action to respond to comments and feedback.
Be Transparent
Correct mistakes as expediently as possible. Don't shy away from criticism for the error and learn from the mistake. If appropriate, consider responding to the community member from a personal account that identifies you and your responsibilities at the university(ies). This shows members of your community there is an individual, rather than a disembodied institutional voice, on the other end of a page or profile. Also, don't be afraid to take a sensitive conversation offline, when appropriate.
Actively Participate
Once you've established a presence on social media, don't orphan it. Social media communities grow over time, with care and engagement on the part of community/page managers. If you are worried you may not have sufficient time/resources to dedicate to the maintenance of a social media profile, contact Social Media Specialist Tiffany Clements to discuss opportunities to use other CSB/SJU social media resources to distribute your content on a sporadic basis.

British Invasion: O's Ian Poulter Triumphs at Hong Kong Open, Grabs Second at Dubai World Championship
Ian Poulter is on a roll…toward the top of the World Rankings.
On a rampage through Asia and the Middle East this past week, Oakley's British golf rebel emerged victorious at the Hong Kong Open on Nov. 21 – before grabbing a solid runner-up finish at the Dubai World Championship on the Arabian Peninsula this past Sunday.
In one of Asia's tourist jewel cities, Ian tallied his second title of the year with a one-stroke victory at the Hong Kong Open, edging fellow Englishman Simon Dyson, who tied for second with Matteo Manassero of Italy.
His final round of 67 saw Oakley's Team Star finish the event on 22 under par, despite bogeying the final hole. He came into the last day as the leader, but met stiff resistance from a talented field of challengers, including newly signed O golfer Rory McIlroy, who finished in sixth. But at the end of the day, Poulter came out on top – taking his 10th victory on the European Tour and catapulting him up to an 11th place standing in the world rankings.
The victory set positive momentum for the following event in the Middle East – where he'd have the opportunity to make a solid charge at advancing in the rankings.
"I think I'll just try winning next week and see how high I can go," he said, rocking his Oakley Flak Jacket shades. "Tiger has dropped a lot of points and (Lee) Westwood is world number one but if I keep playing well, then who knows? I could get up there."
Zipping to a few days later in Dubai – the result was pretty dang solid. He raged into the final day with the lead. But he wasn't about to cruise unopposed.
An intense playoff ensued on the final day of the World Championship between Ian and Robert Karlsson – as the two tied on the 14 under par mark of 274 after Karlsson, three behind overnight, played the first three holes in four under and then pitched to three feet for a birdie on the 620 yard last.
The two sat in rounds 67 and 70 respectively – and sudden death was the only option in crowning the victor.
Both birdied the first extra hole after hitting approaches within five feet, and at the second extra hole Poulter hiccuped with his sand wedge approach to leave a 30 foot putt and a major challenge.
Karlsson capitalized, sending his ball three feet from the cup – while Ian unfortunately picked up a controversial one shot penalty when he dropped his ball on his marker and moved it.
Two putts meant a bogey six for Poulter, but the penalty proved to be irrelevant as Karlsson holed his birdie putt for the clear advantage and the win.
Nonetheless, Ian's solid finish pushed him into the World's Top 10 – with him holding 8th in the standings. With that, the formidable O Team Star and Ryder Cup hero continues to claw his way toward the top of the rankings.
A huge congratulations to Ian for an awesome past couple of weeks!

Stratford's Honeyspot Elementary School could be renamed in honor of Victoria Soto.
The change would take effect under a proposal by Mayor John Harkins, if approved by the Town Council at its next meeting on Jan. 14, according to a report by WFSB.
Soto, 27, was killed on Dec. 14, 2012, trying to protect students in her first-grade classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. She was among 27 people killed that day by Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old police identified as the shooter and who ultimately took his own life. One of the victims was his mother, Nancy Lanza; the others were 20 students and six educators, including Soto.
The oldest of four siblings, she was described by her family as an energetic, funny, fearless, sarcastic and inspirational person who loved being together with her large family. Indeed, Soto's story of heroism on that tragic day has spurred a petition to rename a street in her hometown of Stratford in her name — and .
Harkins, who has met with Soto's family over the past few weeks, was not immediately available for comment Monday afternoon.
Currently, Honeyspot is home to kindergartners through second graders. A project is underway to build a new school in its place, and construction is expected to start this summer.

This blog is about financial deceptions, swindles and costly untruths.
Crowd "funding" or crowd "fracking?" The jury's still out on whether the new JOBS Act will empower the next Steve Jobs or the next Bernie Madoff.
Only a few things are certain. Like past efforts in deregulating the New Deal legacy of investor-protection laws, the JOBS act will be a road to hell paved with good intentions, to paraphrase Dr. Johnson.
When you have nearly every consumer advocate and state regulator warning you not to loosen investor protection laws, it's almost certain that thousands will be separated from their money via this new law, which was just signed by President Obama and endorsed by both parties. Nevertheless, here's what the President said in his signing ceremony:
"Here's what's going to happen because of this bill. For business owners who want to take their companies to the next level, this bill will make it easier for you to go public. And that's a big deal because going public is a major step towards expanding and hiring more workers. It's a big deal for investors as well, because public companies operate with greater oversight and greater transparency.
And for start-ups and small businesses, this bill is a potential game changer. Right now, you can only turn to a limited group of investors — including banks and wealthy individuals — to get funding. Laws that are nearly eight decades old make it impossible for others to invest. But a lot has changed in 80 years, and it's time our laws did as well. Because of this bill, start-ups and small business will now have access to a big, new pool of potential investors — namely, the American people. For the first time, ordinary Americans will be able to go online and invest in entrepreneurs that they believe in.
Of course, to make sure Americans don't get taken advantage of, the websites where folks will go to fund all these start-ups and small businesses will be subject to rigorous oversight. The SEC is going to play an important role in implementing this bill. And I've directed my administration to keep a close eye as this law goes into effect and to provide me with regular updates."
Let's deconstruct this a bit. The SEC, which should have been active in shutting down Madoff, the mortgage securities bubble, policing credit-rating agencies, sniffing out analyst lies, mutual-fund trading swindles and warning about the dot-com blow-up, is unable to keep up with its Dodd-Frank financial reform mandates. How in the heck is it going to be a watchdog over Internet-based start-ups?
House GOP members have thus far been able to tie the SEC up in knots over really essential things like establishing an investor advocate. I called the SEC the other day and asked about this vital new office. The agency hasn't been able to resolve funding issues.
What about fiduciary responsibility, which would be a key investor protection for anyone selling stock? This would mean any seller of a financial product would have to put their clients' interests first — or open themselves up to lawsuits. The SEC greenlighted this great idea, only to have it shot down by the GOP, Wall Street and insurance industry, which wants nothing to do with fiduciary duty. Rules are being rewritten to accommodate the financial industry; investors are not being protected at he moment.
What about limiting positions for commodity speculators so that they can't run up oil and gasoline prices and ignore any connection to supply and demand (which is what's happening now). As part of Dodd-Frank, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission wrote new rules, but opposition from the GOP and their sponsors running trading desks took the commission to court, where the rules are tied up.
I have a dozen more examples where Wall Street has devoted considerable time, effort and campaign contributions to snuff out financial reform designed to protect the public. It's been relentless. So do I believe that the SEC or any other agency will offer genuine protection to investors? Don't take my word for it. Here's what securities regulators, as represented by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), stated when the JOBS Act passed:
"The JOBS bill the President signed today is based on faulty premises and will seriously hurt all investors by either eliminating or reducing transparency and investor protections. It will make securities law enforcement much more difficult, said Jack E. Herstein, NASAA President and Assistant Director of the Nebraska Department of Banking & Finance, Bureau of Securities. Investors need to prepare themselves to be bombarded with all manner of offerings and sales pitches. Congress has just released every huckster, scam artist, and small business owner and salesman onto the internet, Herstein added.
With JOBS Act Becoming Law, Crowdfunding Platforms Look To Create Self-Regulatory Body
Your article sounds very negative and dystopian! Quite a surprise coming from a seasoned Forbes Journalist.
Firstly, if i'm correct, the maximum a non-accredited investor will be allowed to invest through SEC approved Crowdfunding platforms is $2,000 tell me if i'm wrong?
Now $2000 is indeed a lot of money for a lot of people, but let's face it… it's not exactly a fortune by comparison to what the same investors are probably losing right now through their IRA's, Pension Funds and Self-Directed or indeed managed Stock Portfolios. The problem with your article, is it suggests a lot of arrogance and assumes crowdfund investors must be imbecile to take a plunge. Your article also suggests you are strongly in favour of keeping a "walled garden" whereby wealth is mostly controlled and acquired by a minority as in the lucky 1% for a mild euphemism.
Here is where you are so dead wrong IMO… the world around us is changing through the transience and evolution of technology and there is nothing anyone can do to stop this. Luddite reactions are only short term impediments of parochial thinking. If we in the west are going to compete with the exponential rising east, new implementations such as the JOBS ACT is a step in the right direction, albeit initial flaws it's bound to have, like most initiatives in the beginning.
I do recall Wall Street started under a Wallnut Tree and many did lose their shirts! However many and America have made good enormous fortunes and helped to create jobs. I predict the same will ensue through Crowdfunding as a next paradigm for 21st century funding. God Bless America.
Robert Haastrup-Timmi
Open Crowdfund is a for-profit open initiative to develop a website with procedures that could reduce fraud in crowdfunding. Some of our ideas:
(a) radical transparency: have a forum on the Open Crowdfund website
in which companies are only listed if they publically open their
books, perhaps going as far as to require them to publish receipts
showing how they are spending the money.
(b) a collusion-resistant reputation system: allow small individual
investors to visit the Open Crowdfund website to see if the company
and/or its founders are well-regarded individuals in the business
(c) "boiler room alert": publish warnings the Open Crowdfund website about stocks which show objective
signs of probable manipulation.
If anyone reading this has other ideas for reducing fraud, or if you'd like to join the project, please contact us at opencrowdfund at opencrowdfund.com.
(a similar comment was already posted Wasik's article yesterday but i am hoping to reach other potential contributors who are reading this one)
"… it's almost certain that thousands will be separated from their money via this new law …"
"A fraud investigator told Congress that he'd warned the agency about Madoff's Ponzi scheme years ago. But his efforts went nowhere."
Maybe you could read this to refresh your memory-

How can you suggest this John?
How about throwing your efforts in improving our enforcement of our existing laws?
What can you say (Or do) to help capital funding our country's struggling Entrepreneurial Community.
Just curious,
I love this new bill !!!!!! Its about time. For years govt. regulators and wall street have crowded out small business for getting financing. You were lucky if you could bow at the alter of the VC gods and get financing. This bill allows small business to get the financing they need and allows small investors the opportunity to make "direct" investments in these companies. I realize the financial markets hate this bill because it cuts them out of first stage financing.
Im also aware that all these people crying "the sky falling" are part of the nanny state. I dont government or the financial types holding my hand. I can analyze an investment just fine. If done right this can be a huge boom for the small investor, small business and our economy ! For too long the govt has tied the hands of small business.
This article is a swing and a miss http://crowdfundinglaw.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/responding-to-more-useless-drivel-disparaging-crowdfunding-law/
John, the jury has not even convened & it appears that you have already executed the prisoner! Let's see what rules come down from the SEC first & then we can judge the processes.
The internet is NOT the wild, wild, west. Information today travels faster than the speed of a Pony Express rider. I believe the crowd will be able to police the process sufficiently. There is very little fraud on eBay & similar sites, for instance, because of things like feedback, comments, etc.
At Conzortia, we plan to implement processes to protect investors & entrepreneurs alike from fraud.
" The SEC, which should have been active in shutting down Madoff, the mortgage securities bubble, policing credit-rating agencies, sniffing out analyst lies, mutual-fund trading swindles and warning about the dot-com blow-up, is unable to keep up with its Dodd-Frank financial reform mandates. How in the heck is it going to be a watchdog over Internet-based start-ups?"
Think that just about sums up the entire effect of the law; there's NO CHANCE the SEC will spot fraud. If you plan on investing, all the usual euphemisms apply here: caveat emptor, or how about, " don't put all your eggs in one basket. Of if you do, watch that basket!" Investors should treat this money like loans to relatives–the money is gone, it's never coming back, and just be glad if it does get paid back.
This legislation is a game changer.
In a WORLD where the 1%'ers get to play with everybody elses money for the benefit of themselves first and the investors second this new legislation opens new doors.
We as a country have outsourced big business…for the benefit of very few under the name of capitalism. Today the doors of protected "Club Business" have been opened and those AMERICANS who were systematically displaced because of age, cost etc. have the opportunity and access to the resources necessary to compete with their former employers.
Main Street now has every opportunity (albiet on a smaller scale) that Wall Street has had for decades.
Who Needs Investors When You Have Crowdfunding??
Veronica Mars raised $2 million from fans in 11 hours and raised more than $5.7 million when the campaign ended on April 12, 2013. Rob Thomas put the campaign on KickStarter after failing to get interest from traditional investors. Veronica Mars may set crowdfunding records, but more than 1000 campaigns have raised over $100,000 on KickStarter and Indiegogo, with over 200 raising over $1million.
While both KickStarter and Indiegogo provide a funding platform for people in the arts to promote their projects, technology companies have learned that they can bring their products directly to the market through crowdfunding. The Pebble Watch raised over $10 million a year ago. Hundreds of other technology products such as the Nanolight – a high efficiency light bulb, and the Mycestro – a 3D mouse have raised several times their funding goal. Nanolight raised $273,000 with an original goal of $20,000 and Mycestro raised $354,000 with an initial goal of $100,000.
When companies are having such success with project crowdfunding do they need equity crowdfunding, or should they even seek investors by traditional methods? In the UK where equity based crowd funding is legal the average raise is less than a quarter of a million dollars. The JOBS Act provides for funding up to $1 million, but it is yet to be seen what the average raise will be. In theory investors are prepared to loose all the money, but there are many requirements to keep investors informed so they don't exercise their right to sue when business does not go as planned. This adds cost for the entrepreneur and puts them at additional risk.
Traditionally business must invest money in design, tooling, inventory, and accounts receivable before they know if a product will be profitable. Investors put in risk capital before a product goes to market. Since 9 out of 10 new ventures fail to meet original expectations, risk capital is expensive. Usually, this capital is in the form of equity so that investors can benefit on the upside with successful ventures. Pre-selling a product through crowdfunding minimizes this risk, but does not eliminate it. There will always be the risk that management can execute on their plans.
Furthermore, pre-selling a product accelerates cash flow, through the elimination of accounts receivable, and reduced inventories. Other costs are reduced through efficient production runs and direct to customer distribution. Crowdfunding has the potential to change the general business model for new ventures.
Some early results are in, and it is now time to learn from the successes of project crowdfunding in the US and equity crowdfunding outside the US. Ironically, some of the biggest innovation such as the PC and cell phones have been a success, but not for the reasons the innovators intended. Crowdfunding may well be another.
The report answers these questions.:
· Is project crowdfunding an alternative to equity finance for certain ventures?
· Based on results to date, are ventures/startups that have used equity crowdfunding outside the US similar to ventures seeking funding from Angel Investors and Venture Capitalist?
· What can be learned from websites used by accredited investors such as, Angel List, to structure equity crowdfunding platforms, that will be enabled by the JOBS Act?
· What features of equity crowdfunding will support the needs of Angel Investors and Venture Capitalist. What are the perceived shortcomings of equity crowdfunding?
This project is being funded by a campaign on Indiegogo. For more information and to get a copy go to http://igg.me/p/376372

Toms River police are investigating an armed robbery at a Route 37 gas station Wednesday evening, the second that day in the township.
About $100 was stolen from the Delta service station just before 6 p.m. Wednesday when an unidentified man with a semi-automatic handgun demanded money from a 24-year-old attendant in his booth, said Chief of Police Michael Mastronardy.
"The suspect is a black male wearing blue jeans, a black jacket and black scarf covering his face," Mastronardy said.
The attendant told police that the man, who appeared to be 6 feet tall, ran across Lakehurst Road and down Patmas Drive, according to Mastronardy. The attendant was not injured in the encounter.
At about midnight Wednesday, . Police are searching for that suspect and released surveillance footage of the incident Wednesday evening.

Seasoned professor of modern languages and former associate dean at Salisbury University began on July 1.
Riverdale, N.Y. (PRWEB) July 14, 2014
Manhattan College welcomes Keith Brower, Ph.D., a seasoned professor of modern languages, as dean of the Colleges School of Arts, effective July 1. In his new role he will oversee and lead 15 academic departments, which encompass 16 majors and 12 minors as the school continues to embark on new opportunities.
Brower has nearly 30 years of experience in positions of academic leadership at both public and private institutions. He most recently served as associate dean of the Fulton School of Liberal Arts from 2007 to 2014 at his alma mater Salisbury University, where he first started in 1997 as a professor and served as chair of the department of Modern Languages from 1999-2007.
While at Salisbury, Brower oversaw curricular revision and unprecedented growth in the universitys Spanish program, and established and directed a study abroad program in collaboration with the Universidad de Málaga in Spain. He was co-designer of Salisburys international studies major/minor, and, for several years, was deeply involved in the universitys honors program.
Brower also led three consecutive curriculum reform committees from 2005-2007, which designed and proposed an innovative four-credit course model, revolutionizing the Fulton School of Liberal Arts. He became associate dean following the models approval in 2007, and much of his early work focused on the details of the school-wide implementation process associated with the new model. The Fulton four-credit course model has drawn the interest of several public and private colleges and universities.
As associate dean, Brower advanced the development of a number of international and interdisciplinary initiatives and programs. In addition, he was the Fulton Schools key person on program review, assessment, grants and faculty development.
From 1986-1997, he worked at Dickinson College and held several roles, including developer of the Colleges Portuguese program, coordinator of the interdisciplinary Latin American Studies program, and chair of the department of Spanish and Portuguese (1993-1997). His career began in 1985 at Gettysburg College as an assistant professor of Spanish.
Brower is the author of "Contemporary Latin American Fiction: An Annotated Bibliography" (Salem Press, 1989) and "Jorge Amado: New Critical Essays" (Routledge, 2001), co-edited with colleagues at Dickinson and Vanderbilt University. He is also in the process of writing a third book entitled, "Catholicism in Spain and Latin America: History, Culture, Tradition and Change." His most recent research focuses on liberal education, high-impact practices, and the 21st-century curriculum.
We are thrilled to have Dr. Brower joining our community to serve as dean of the School of Arts, said William Clyde, Ph.D., executive vice president and provost. He brings vast experience in curriculum development, interdisciplinary studies and study abroad, all of which are strategically valuable to his school and the College. He is a collaborative community builder and very committed to our mission.
Brower holds a doctorate in Spanish with a minor in Portuguese from The Pennsylvania State University, and a bachelors in English and Spanish from Salisbury University.
I look forward to working with my colleagues in the School of Arts, as well as across the entire Manhattan College campus, in the ongoing enhancement of the already truly special and memorable liberal arts educational experience that we provide to our students, Brower said.

R — ALEIGH Triangle residents looking for a tropical escape this winter can now plan to fly non-stop from Raleigh-Durham International Airport to Nassau, Bahamas, starting in December.
Delta Air Lines will offer weekly non-stop service between RDU and Nassau beginning Dec. 21. The new service will be offered year-round each Saturday aboard a CRJ-900 aircraft with up to 90 seats.
The flight to Nassau will leave RDU at 2:50 p.m., arriving at Nassau at 4:10 p.m. The homeward flight will leave Nassau at 11:40 a.m. and land at RDU at 2:10 p.m.
Two other airlines, BahamasAir and Vision Airlines, previously offered a non-stop service to Freeport, Bahamas, between 2011 and 2012 but "made a business decision to terminate the flight," said RDU spokesman Andrew Sawyer.
RDU offers non-stop international flights to three other locations. American Airlines offers a once-daily flight to London; Air Canada offers a three daily flights to Toronto; and Delta and United Airlines offer seasonal weekly flights to Cancun, Mexico, during the winter.

Moms Talk is a weekly feature on all Lehigh Valley Patches in which local parents, caregivers and other members of the community are invited to share opinions and advice on parenting topics.
This week's Moms Talk question relates to playdate clean-up etiquette.
This week's Moms Talk question comes to us from one of our Moms Council members who needs help with a recurring problem at her house: a child who comes over to play but never puts away any of the toys before heading home. This seemingly small dilemma is fraught with lots of hidden and not-so-hidden landmines ranging from her own child/children who are angered at having to clean up the mess after the playmate leaves to our disgruntled Moms Council member who is a bit peeved at the other parent for not making her child pick up at least some of the toys.
So, here's what we want to know:
Do you make your children's friends clean up before they head home? When your kids are at their friends' houses, do you check to see if there's any cleanup that needs to be done before you leave? And, how would you handle our Moms Council member's problem?
Our Moms Council members include:
- Lisa Amey of Upper Milford Township is a stay-at-home mom to an 8-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. A past president of the MOMS Club of Emmaus and longtime member of MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers), Lisa is an Independent Consultant for Arbonne International.
- Lisa Drew of Emmaus is a certified nutritionist and personal trainer, wellness and fitness coach with more than 17 years of experience. She is the mother of a 13-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy.
- Jennifer Elston of Emmaus has almost two decades of professional experience in child development and counseling. She is currently a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful girls. Together with her husband, Chris, she owns Christopher Elston Photography.
- Jeanne Lombardo of Nazareth is the mother of a 10-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. She's new to the Lehigh Valley, having moved to Nazareth from Bergen County, NJ in January.
- Lisa Merk of Lower Macungie is a stay-at-home mother of four boys – a 12-year-old and 6-year-old triplets. Lisa is a past president of the MOMS Club of Lower Macungie East. In her "spare" time, Lisa teaches piano to school-age children.
- Zoila Bonilla Paul of Bethlehem is a stay-at-home mom to two girls – a 5-year-old and a 14-month-old. Zoila is a member of her local "moms' club" and says she is "well-versed in the fun that children can bring."
- Beth Sharpless of Emmaus works part time in a local emergency department as a nurse and part time from home as a customer support specialist. She has two children -- a boy who is almost 2 and a 5-year-old girl. She says they love spending time outdoors and dancing.

Several California communities are considering tax increases to cover the loss of revenue from the vehicle license fee rollback recently signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger.
Employing traditional government accounting i.e., budgeting for what you expect to have rather than what is sustainable, cities like Berkeley were counting on that additional revenue to sustain (grow) its budget. Now that they're faced with some belt tightening, the council is employing the all too familiar communications strategy of "FUD" or fear, uncertainty, and disaster to get what they want.
Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates says that if voters turn down the proposed parcel tax in March that the city will face "the prospect of laying off police officers and firefighters, closing a fire station and reducing other services." He further notes that the city has "hit the wall" and without the tax will have to end all foot and bicycle patrols, police in schools, and one of the city's seven fire stations...as well as funding for health and homeless programs.
Nearby Alameda County is using the same strategy to help pass a measure that would raise the county's sales tax to 8.75 percent from teh current 8.25 percent. "God knows how we're going to make it through the rest of the year without closing more facilities or laying off employees or trying to raise the rates on people who don't have the ability to pay," said Joe DeVries, an aide to Supervisor Nate Miley.
By making these pleas the governments are suggesting that they operate at optimal efficiency and effectiveness. Everything they do is necessary and a proper function of government. But what's worse is that the first to go always are the essential services like police and fire. Why not talk about cost savings initatives for fleet and building maintenance, or parks and library services?
Put simply, FUD passes tax increases. Hopefully, taxpayers of these (and other) communities will reject these notions that governments are already perfect. Policy makers should have to make the tough decisions, and shouldn't be let off the hook with tax increases.
I guarantee that there are opportunities for improvement (i.e., cost savings) through a number of strategies including privatization in every community -- you just have to be willing to look for them.

MOOERS — A Mooers man was charged with felony DWI following a property damage accident April 19.
According to Chazy-based State Police, Jason R. King, 35, of Mooers moved from a lane unsafely while he was driving on State Route 11 in the Town of Mooers at about 12:30 a.m.
His vehicle left the roadway, struck a sign and overturned, police said.
The police report did not indicate whether King was injured.
King was charged with operating a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol concentration of more than 0.08 percent with a prior offense, a felony; first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a felony; driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor; moving from a lane unsafely, an infraction; and driving without a license, an infraction.
He was arraigned in Mooers Town Court before Judge Kokes and was sent to Clinton County Jail in lieu of $500 cash or $1,000 bond.
PLATTSBURGH — A Bronx man was arrested March 16 on drug charges.
Lennox L. Skyers, 26, was arrested on State Route 3 in the Town of Plattsburgh and was charged with second-degree criminal possession of more than 16 ounces of marijuana, according to a New York State blotter entry.
After arraignment, Skyers was sent to Clinton County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond.
KEESEVILLE — A Keeseville man was seriously injured in a two-car accident Wednesday.
Shortly after 5 p.m., Chazy-based State Police were dispatched to a car crash at the intersection of Route 9 and Chasm Road, State Police said.
Ronald H. Lahart, 60, was traveling northbound on Route 9 in an Oldsmobile Silhouette van and James W. Taylor, 49, of Keeseville was driving southbound in a Mercury Grand Marquis, police said, when the two cars collided.
Although the cause of the crash is still under investigation, police believe Lahart was turning left onto Chasm Road at the time of the accident.
Lahart's injuries were serious but not life threatening, police said. He was transported by Keeseville EMS to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh for treatment.
Taylor was uninjured but his 9-year-old daughter was taken to CVPH for evaluation as a precaution, police said.
Keeseville Fire Police directed traffic around the crash site, police said.
Tickets are pending, police said.
NORTH ELBA — Two Saranac Lake residents were injured in a two-car accident Monday.
Melody V. Hayes, 18, was traveling eastbound on State Route 86 in Ray Brook near the Saranac Lake Golf Club when she made a left turn into the path of a vehicle driven by Thomas R. Hennessy, 72, according to Ray Brook-based State Police.
Hayes's vehicle struck Hennessy's, police said.
Hayes was transported to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake with a shoulder injury; Hennessy was also taken there for treatment of bruising and abrasions, police said.
Hayes was ticketed for failure to yield to the right of way while making a left turn and unlawful possession of marijuana, both violations.

Fried balls of risotto were once the secret of Sicily. Now you can find out why the world loves arancini.
50g/2oz butter
450g/1lb arborio rice
splash white wine
900ml/1½ pints vegetable stock, warm
100g/3½oz beetroot, cooked, chopped
5 spring onions, finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
200g/7oz buffalo mozzarella
plain flour, for rolling
1 free-range egg, beaten
150g/5oz fresh breadcrumbs
18 asparagus spears, ends trimmed
dressed salad leaves, to serve
Melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat. Add the rice and stir, cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice become translucent around the edges. Add the wine and cook for a further minute, or until it evaporates.
Add a ladleful of warm stock to the pan and stir the rice. When all the liquid has been absorbed add another ladleful of stock and continue doing so until all the stock is used up and the rice is tender.
Stir the beetroot and spring onion into the rice. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside to cool.
Roll the rice into 8-10 balls. Flatten each ball and place a piece of mozzarella into the centre, and then fold the rice around the cheese.
Roll the risotto balls in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
Heat enough oil to shallow fry in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan. The oil is ready when a breadcrumb dropped into it will sizzle gently. (CAUTION: Hot oil can be very dangerous. Do not leave unattended.) Carefully place a few risotto balls into the hot oil and fry for a 3-4 minutes, or until the outside is brown and crisp. Cook the risotto balls in batches, removing with a slotted spoon when cooked. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen towels.
Blanch the asparagus in a pan of boiling water, carefully remove from the pan and set aside to cool. Meanwhile heat a griddle pan. Cook the asparagus for one minute on each side and then coat with a little of the olive oil.
Serve the risotto balls with the asparagus and dressed salad leaves.

ROCKFORD – The Huntley girls basketball team expected to be tested on the perimeter against a Belvidere North squad always looking to shoot a 3-pointer.
And if the Red Raiders thought it would be an easy road through the Blue Thunder to win the regional title Thursday, Belvidere North gave them everything they could handle through the game's first 16 minutes. Huntley had a weapon of its own, however, in sophomore forward Ali Andrews, for whom the Blue Thunder had no answer .
Ali Andrews scored 15 of her game-high 21 points in the first half to help the Red Raiders take a six-point lead into halftime. From there, they steadily built a double-digit lead en route to a 49-35 win to capture the Class 4A Jefferson Regional title. It marks the sixth regional title in eight seasons for the Red Raiders (26-3), who also tied the school record for wins in a season that was set last year.
Huntley plays South Elgin in a Crystal Lake South Sectional semifinal at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
"I saw they were really packing it in down low, but I knew I had to bring my game and just play under control and play how I play," Ali Andrews said. "I also looked to kick it out to our guards to get good shots."
Belivdere North's 3-point shooting put the pressure on Huntley in the first half. Five of the Blue Thunder's seven field goals in the first half were 3-pointers. Guard Haley Grana especially torched Huntley's defense, hitting three 3-pointers, all in the first quarter. Despite playing a zone defense, Andrews still hurt Belvidere North in the paint.
"She's the real deal," Blue Thunder coach Aaron Leonard said of Andrews. "You watch her play live and then you scout her, but once your team actually plays her, you realize how good she is. She has to be accounted for every single second of the game."
The Blue Thunder (14-16) briefly led by two points early in the first quarter, however, once Huntley sophomore guard Kayla Barreto made a runner in the lane to put the Red Raiders ahead, 7-5, they maintained their lead into the third quarter and never trailed.
Although Huntley led, 36-24, going into the fourth quarter, the Red Raiders managed only one field goal in the fourth. They shot well enough at the free-throw line, making 11 of 16 attempts, to comfortably maintain their lead. The Blue Thunder pulled with seven with 2:54 left in the game, but the Red Raiders held them without another field goal the rest of the way.
Senior forward Sam Andrews finished with 11 points for Huntley, including two 3-pointers, while Barreto and Bethany Zornow each finished with four points.
"It's always special to be able to win in the postseason and to win a regional title," Huntley coach Steve Raethz said. "This was a definite goal of ours heading into the postseason. I'm just really pleased for our girls. They've worked extremely hard."
