Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — SUTTONS BAY — Logan Price considers himself just an average, every day club pro.
But the second-year pro at the Leelanau Club will be the envy of many golf fans at this weekend's Bridgestone Invitational.
Price was invited to attend the upcoming PGA Tour event in Akron, Ohio, which includes a day to watch the action on Friday as well as a day where he'll be walking right alongside the competitors as an honorary observer during Thursday's opening round.
"What that means is I get to meet the three players that are playing together before they tee off and then I can walk down the fairway with them, alongside them and the caddies and the person that keeps score, that sort of thing — inside the ropes rather than where everyone else is outside the ropes," Price said.
As a club professional — Price has been in the profession since 2000 and has over 16 years experience working in the golf industry — he has an agreement with Bridgestone that is somewhat like a sponsorship. One of the benefits is an opportunity for a select few to attend the World Golf Championships tournament, which Bridgestone has been the title sponsor for since 2006. He will be one of three pros from Michigan who have been invited to the event.
"It's a pretty cool opportunity," said Price. "It kind of surprised me when I got the invitation. It's one thing to watch those Tour players go about their business and play on television, or watch them at the range to hit balls. But to be, from what I'm told, in pretty close proximity and watch them prepare for the shot, then hit the shot and then walk up to the next shot and just kind of see how they go about their business of playing a competitive round of golf should be interesting.
"I can liken it to maybe being the first or third base coach during a Tigers game. You're not right in the action. You can't play, but you're on the field."
Price was contacted about possibly going over a month ago, but he didn't have any reservations about accepting.
"Oh, not at all. As long as I could get time off from work to go during the busy time of the summer to go down and watch the tournament. That was my only reservation," said Price, who leaves on Wednesday and will return to Traverse City on Saturday. "It's been probably 15 years since I went to the old Buick Open. So I haven't seen a PGA Tour event, other than on television, in a long time. I thought, 'what the heck, why not?'"
Price won't know until Wednesday what trio of players he will be following, but whichever group he's paired with figures to include some of the bigger names in the game.
"It's a pretty good field at the Bridgestone Invitational. It's a World Golf Championship event and only the top 100 players in the world are invited to play," he said. "And it's the week before the PGA Championship, which is the last major tournament of the year so I think Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and all the big names will use that as a tune-up before they get to the year's final major."
Price said he would be happy to get the chance to watch any Tour players up close, but if he could have his choice he'd like to follow Mickelson.
"I just like the way he handles himself," said Price. "I think he understands his place in professional sports and professional golf. He understands how good his fortune is. When he's out in public or out on the course competing in a tournament he's just a fun guy to watch interact with players, interact with the crowd and that sort of thing. He's a classy guy and he's professional. He smiles, he doesn't blame others for a bad shot and he doesn't throw his clubs and curse."

VALENCIA, CA - FEBRUARY 24: 2006 Tour de France winner, Floyd Landis of the U.S. looks up at the finish of Stage 6 of the AMGEN Tour of California February 24, 2007 in Valencia, California. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
Floyd Landis, the only Tour de France winner to ever be stripped of his title, admitted in an interview to using performance-enhancing drugs over the course of his cycling career.
In an interview with ESPN.com and in emails obtained by the The Wall Street Journal, Landis also claimed that several other cyclists, including his former teammate and seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, took substances such as human growth hormone and steroids to improve their performance.
According to the Journal, Armstrong did not respond to messages seeking comment. He has been accused of doping on several occasions throughout his years in the sport, but has always denied the charges and has never been sanctioned.
In a series of e-mails sent to both ESPN and The Journal, Landis described his drug usage and methods used to avoid detection, such as learning how to conduct blood transfusions.
He also claimed that Armstrong taught him how the various drugs and techniques worked.
"He and I had lengthy discussions about it on our training rides during which time he also explained to me the evolution of EPO testing and how transfusions were now necessary due to the inconvenience of the new test," Landis wrote in an e-mail published by the Journal.

A Camden police officer is in the hospital in stable condition, after a wild police chase that began Tuesday morning with his police cruiser.
It should have been a routine traffic stop, right in front of Camden's Police Administration building. A Jeep had just made an illegal right on red at an intersection a block away. "We just got pulled over down the street," Fred Hoover, a passenger in the Jeep, told Fox 29. "We must have run the red light. So the police officer pulled us over, and he was talking to her." A conversation he never got to finish. Minutes later, Officer Sekou Reid-Bey lay on a gurney, ready to be rushed to the hospital, a victim of a hit-and-run, struck by his own police car. "They accelerated right through the officer," Camden Police Chief Scott Thomson explained. "He ended up going up, over the hood, and flipped down onto the ground."The 16-year-veteran of the Camden Police force had left his keys in his patrol car, which is standard protocol according to the police chief. When Reid-Bey heard his car door slam, he ran back toward the vehicle. "The officer went up over the hood of the car," Chief Thomson said. "At that point in time, after he hit the ground he was able to get on his radio, let us know that his vehicle was stolen, that he was hit by a car."Fred Hoover was stunned at how the traffic stop ended. "The police officer just got run over by the, by somebody that robbed his car. The car was behind us, then all of a sudden they must have stole the car and ran over the police officer."The 49-year-old officer suffered a fractured leg, but no question it could have been far worse. "He was hit head-on by the vehicle," Chief Thomson told Fox 29. "Fortunately the vehicle, he was so close to it, it didn't have that much time to accelerate."

Hair Loss/Alopecia
Is the hair loss permanent?
No, the hair loss caused by chemotherapy is temporary. In fact, even with total hair loss, regrowth of hair often may start after several cycles of chemotherapy and will continue even with additional treatments. When regrowth occurs, there may be changes in color and texture. It is common for hair to grow back curlier than it was; however, a change of color is uncommon.
What can I do if hair loss is expected with my chemotherapy treatment?
Each person responds differently to the information that they are going to experience partial or total hair loss. There is no right or wrong response. What's important is to do what you feel comfortable with, to do what is right for you.
Some options to consider include:
Some insurance companies provide coverage for the purchase of wigs. Check with your insurance company regarding coverage and limits. Keep in mind that the cost of wigs, scarves, false eyelashes, etc. are tax-deductible medical expenses.

There's a reason why she made the final group at several Worlds and in Salt Lake. Her jumps were huge, her spins solid and her speed and power excellent. I remember her practicing difficult jump combinations like 3S+3Lo with ease but she never seemed to get them into her programs.
Her countrywoman Krisztina was an exceptional talent too -- the whole package.
I wonder if they had better training conditions if they could've made it to the top.
My job requires me to be a juggler, but that does not mean that I enjoy working with clowns.
I thought that Kostner and Sebestyen should have been 1-2 in the SP in Dortmund, because Arakawa, whom I love to death, and Ando under-rotated their 3/3 combos, Cohen flutzed and her jumps weren't nearly the quality of anyone in the top six, and Kwan traveled all over the place in at least one of the spins and was generally meh (and that was before the casino ad guy jumped on the ice). I would have had Kwan ahead of her in the FS, but she would have had enough ordinal points from the SP -- I would have had Kwan 6th -- to catch Sebestyen for the bronze medal.
The Italian women, who were involved with skating in Italy, who sat in our section and I shared our mutual disgust at the outcome.

Lucinda Ruh. She was born in the wrong era. Those gorgeous spins alone deserved a medal!

In her later years she didn't show much improvement in the choreographic impression, but in 2010 I personally enjoyed watching her as a beautiful woman skater.

What exactly happened to her following 98 Euros? Had she been able to continue, I think she certainly could have medaled at Worlds in 1998 or 1999, as she was just hitting her peak when she disappeared. She had gone to the Olympics at such a young age- 13 in 1992- that it's hard to believe she was only 19 in 1998. While she competed in a couple of B competitions a few years later, I don't think it is fair to judge those programs or performances. I think they had potential, and could have been great if performed throughout a season. Krisztina herself posted videos of these skates on YouTube- her partnership with Bobrin was, though short-lived, pretty magical.
Andrei Griazev 2005 Worlds SP
I also agree with Josee Chouinard. She has grace, talent (I watched her do all the triples as well as axel in practice) and a great personality.
Thanks to PI .. I discovered I'm actually a Nontheist
"Love is better than Anger, Hope is better than fear" Jack Layton 1950-2011
I mention only those skaters, who dont compete any longer (for others that come into my mind I still hope they will take their chance in 2013 or 2014 I dont want to curse them ). My top three in singles starting with ladies:
Josee Chouinard NERVES! At times it was almost scary to watch the way she imploded during actual performance.
Lucinda Ruh wrong judging system considering her strength, at times horrific training circumstances/surroundings & injuries. Having read her biography I wonder how her career would have developed if she respectively her parents had decided to return to Switzerland for training and if shed detected earlier how harmful her super fast spins were to her health.
In case of a poll, my first place for ladies would, however, go to Viktoria Volchkova: like Josee Chouinard nerves again. She had a great jumping technique but most times couldnt transfer it to competition (tough her body type was certainly not helpful for keeping together on the jump department under pressure). I remember her coach, Victor Kudriavtzev, mentioning in an interview how often she became sick before / during competition because of nerves. She also suffered from bad timing when she was at her peak, the Russian ladies team was really strong (Slutskaya/Butyrskaya/Sokolova), so she was usually No. 3 on the team. Later on injuries started to set in (and some really stupid ones, like infected blisters, and so on). After all a pretty bad accumulation of career hampering factors! Im actually surprized no one mentioned her yet!
Russian sweep for me as far as men are concerned:
Alexander Shubin: Wrong timing (so Russian fed didnt promote him like they did with other upcoming talented young skaters) & injuries. Like it was mentioned with Andrej Griazev he beat Evan Lysacek when he won JW in 2003 with 8 triples and a quad if I recall it right. So much potential that never realized.
Ilia Klimkin: skated the wrong time as he had to compete against Yagudin/Plushenko/Abt at their best during his own peak years, then injuries set in. Considering his strengths (spins, interesting transitions), its a pity he had to compete under the 6.0 system for the major part of his eligible career. He also had his share of bad luck not only concerning his own health in terms of injuries in 2003 he had to make a coaching change as his former coach childhood days had passed away. Certainly not an easy situation!
My top pick for men, however, is Alexander Abt: Some injuries, which definitely hampered him from exploitation of technical capabilities combined with the most awful timing Ive ever seen in skating (e.g. competing against Plushy & Yagudin at their peak during the quad era of 6.0 system). Add lack of support by own fed which also showed in judges marks on national and international level. Nerves also seemed to be a big issue just a different skater in practice and competition, not only jump wise, but also the speed was at a total different level.
One side note: I wonder how skaters having such careers deal with it. Personally I think that in the long run you actually might be better off with having been a great skater, who fans will remember for her/his performances / skating even decades later despite they didnt win the big medals, than having been a mediocre skater who won a medal randomly and you are only remembered for statistical purposes or even worse in a context like it can be seen in the least appealing medallist thread.

The Office of Congressional Ethics is investigating eight lawmakers who held fundraisers within 48 hours of a major House vote on a Wall Street reform bill or received substantial donations from business people with a financial stake in the bill, according to congressional sources and letters.
The probe is focused on whether the timing of accepting the campaign checks created an unacceptable appearance of a conflict, according to sources familiar with the investigation and letters sent by the OCE to lobbyists requesting information.

The Republican Party starts its quadrennial political convention next week. Such conventions have two purposes:
- nominate the party's presidential and vice-presidential candidates
- publish its party's political platform
We all know about the candidates' work — it has dominated political news in America for the last year. However, the far more important aspect of the convention is the platform adoption.
And here's where it gets interesting. The draft of the 2012 GOP platform, to be submitted to the convention next week, contains the following notions:
Faithful to the 'self-evident' truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment's protections apply to unborn children.
A serious threat to our country's constitutional order, perhaps even more dangerous than presidential malfeasance, is an activist judiciary, in which some judges usurp the powers reserved to other branches of government. A blatant example has been the court-ordered redefinition of marriage in several States. This is more than a matter of warring legal concepts and ideals. It is an assault on the foundations of our society, challenging the institution which, for thousands of years in virtually every civilization, has been entrusted with the rearing of children and the transmission of cultural values.
That is why congressional Republicans took the lead in enacting the Defense of Marriage Act, affirming the right of States and the federal government not to recognize same-sex relationships licensed in other jurisdictions. An activist judiciary usurps the powers reserved to other branches of government and endangers the foundation of our country.
What would this mean if these and the other platform propositions were enacted into laws?
- No civil unions or domestic partnerships for gay citizens
- No birth control that involves expulsion of a fertilized ovum (almost all pills, IUDs, and "morning after" medications)
- No IVF, frozen embryos, or other artificial means of conception
- No stem cell research from embryonic sources
- Arizona-style immigration laws
- Reintroduction of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" into the military
- No judicial protection for cases of discrimination based upon sexual orientation
I'm not really sure how anyone going to the Republican national convention could look at themselves in the mirror.
And I don't understand why any Republican could think they could win an election while standing on such a morally bankrupt platform.

Despite voters striking down the Montgomery County ambulance fee , Montgomery County Council passed the fee again Tuesday with a 6-3 vote. Several councilmembers said there was a misinformation campaign surrounding the 2010 referendum vote.
Councilmembers Councilman Phil Andrews (D, Dist-3), Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) and George Leventhal (D-At Large) were opposed.
While Andrews implored councilmembers to respect the will of the voters, some of the county lawmakers were disturbed at how voters were educated about the ambulance fee.
Many residents who voted against the fee thought county residents would have to pay the $300 to $800 fee per ambulance ride, Councilman Mark Elrich (D-At Large) said.
"That's a blatant lie," Elrich said. "Residents won't pay."
Only the insurance companies of non-residents using ambulance services would have to pay, according to the legislation.
In fact, the fee would put money back into the pockets of residents, Elrich said.
"County residents will pay less in taxes if the ambulance fee is put in place," he said. Taxpayer money used to support non-resident ambulance rides would be payed for by insurance companies.
"Respect for the voters begins with what you tell the voters," Elrich said. The disinformation campaign was not respectful to the voters.
Councilman Hans Reimer (D-At Large) agreed with Elrich.
"As a candidate in 2010 I witnessed the confusion surrounding this issue," Reimer said.
Residents are already paying, through their insurers, for the possibility of an ambulance fee.
"That's money left in the pocket of the insurer," Reimer said.
An ambulance fee for non-residents is already in place in the areas surrounding Montgomery County. In Prince George's County the ambulance fee brings in $11.5 million a year. In Fairfax County, they collected $15 million a year. And in Washington D.C., $20 million in ambulance fees were collected.

As a youth volunteer you will help visitors locate camouflaged animals, assist guests in touching a live sturgeon or tell visitors how much a green sea turtle weighs. This is a great way to meet students from other schools and gain important experience interacting with adults and children.
The Youth Volunteer program is designed to give high school students the opportunity to become actively involved in their community by providing valuable volunteer hours. Students from city, county, private school or home school students who have successfully completed one year of high school SCIENCE are eligible for the program.
Youth Volunteers are responsible for attending a mandatory training class on Saturday, May 31, 2014 from 10 am to 3:30 pm. After successfully completing the course and passing the exam, the students become members of the Education team, and will be responsible for a 4.5 hour shift twice a month.

Deepening Edges and Establishing Sod
Deepening Edges
Watch a video about deepening the edges of a pond.
Pond edges should be deepened before the valve is closed to collect water. When the pond is full, all edges should be two to three feet deep. Serious aquatic plant problems will likely develop in areas less than two feet. The soil that is removed can be used to create pond structure or earthen fishing piers.
Establishing Sod
Watch a video about establishing sod around your pond.
Pond construction is not complete until grass is established on the dam, spillway, pond's edge, and watershed. Centipede, Bermuda, Zoysia, Bahia, Kentucky bluegrass, rye grass or a combination of these grasses will prevent erosion and siltation. Mulch or silt screens should also be utilized to hold the soil until the grass can become established. Pond owners should consult with the NRCS or Alabama Cooperative Extension System for the grass variety that is best suited for the pond's location and soil type.

Jennie Edmundson Cancer Center Cancer Registry
933 E. Pierce St.
Council Bluffs, IA 51503
(712) 396-7091
Established in 1994, the Cancer Registry began with the collaboration of physicians and administrative staff who recognized the need for the most current and complete information on each cancer patient diagnosed or treated at Jennie Edmundson Hospital.
Every cancer patient matters at Jennie Edmundson Hospital and is followed for a lifetime to ensure the best possible outcome.
Methodist Hospital Tumor Registry
Howard B. Hunt Tumor Registry
8601 W. Dodge Road, Suite 246
Omaha, NE 68114
(402) 354-3395
In 1927, a young Nebraska physician named Howard B. Hunt entered the field of radiology. In that same year, cancer claimed the lives of 95,000 Americans. Dr. Hunt came to realize the key to the battle against cancer was understanding not only collective statistics, but also the breadth and scope of each individual cancer patient's journey. To begin collecting that information in a meaningful format, Dr. Hunt established the state's first tumor registry at Methodist Hospital. The registry was later named in his honor.
The Howard B. Hunt Tumor Registry has been tracking treatment outcomes since then. With a 96 percent follow-up rate, these cancer treatment outcomes are tracked to measure the quality of our care against both national and local trends.
Accredited by Commission on Cancer (CoC)
Approval by the Commission on Cancer is granted only to those facilities that have voluntarily committed to provide the best in cancer diagnosis and treatment and are able to comply with established Commission on Cancer standards. Methodist Hospital Tumor Registry received an approval with commendation in 2004.
Being a CoC-approved cancer program demonstrates a facility's ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, multidisciplinary cancer care. The Commission wishes to acknowledge the hard work and dedication these programs put forth in meeting CoC standards and improving the reliability of cancer data, enabling the best possible outcomes for today's cancer patients.

I grew up on a lake in Northern Minnesota with my parents, sister, and two brothers. Life growing up was filled with working on the farm, playing in the water, and going to just about everything a school offers to do. I attended Bethel University (College back then) in St. Paul, MN majoring in International Relations with minors in Business and Communication. God had other opportunities in store for me and I became involved in student development. After taking a break from school, I went to Azusa Pacific University in CA to pursue my Master of Education in College Student Affairs. I recently was married to a wonderful man (Corey Ross). Both of us live and work at LETU, so we have lived out our relationship on campus. It has been great and sometimes hard to do that but the benefits of living in community far outweigh the hardships. In fact, you can check out his proposal at YouTube under Hootenanny Proposal.
Why I am in Residence Life... During my time in undergrad, I loved the social aspect of school. A lot of my friends and I decided that we were going to try and become Resident Assistants. As it turns out, nine of us were RA's that year in the same area! I loved it! I was asked to return and kept returning till I graduated. The job of RA was so fun it didn't even seem like a job. So, I thought if I can do this and get paid for it, this would be the best job. My RD encouraged me to pursue Residence Life and years later I am still in it. College was such a huge learning and growing time in my life that I love to challenge students to go past where they are at. I have been working at various schools in various jobs since 2000.
Some things I wish someone had told me in college... If you learn how to learn, you can pursue a position in pretty much anything. The cafeteria has good food; you just get tired of eating at the same place all the time. The stories you hear of people being best friends with their roommates are roommates from their senior year, not first year. That you have to be proactive about school, your professors aren't going to ask you about missing homework. You can study in Australia for a semester for about the same price as Longview. Your parents' beliefs will be challenged and you will have to develop your own faith and what you believe about God.
Favorite Book/author: I really like to read fiction, so my favorite might be somewhat hard to figure out. I really enjoy the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. Historical fiction is very intriguing. I also like Ted Dekker, Randy Alcorn and Lori Wick.
What I like to do in my free time... I love to travel. I took a year off college and traveled to get the "bug" out, but instead it only made me want to go back and visit places I've been, friends I've made, and places I haven't been to yet. I grew up on a lake, and also love the ocean. I could send hours or days just sitting on the beach...a good book, warm sun, and the waves rolling in.

About Me
It was my love for words that inspired me to become a journalist. My parents, brothers and I are first-generation Chinese-Americans from Hong Kong and I spoke only Cantonese until I discovered American television shows and started kindergarten. My grandfather had come to America during the California Gold Rush and my great-grandfather had helped to build the Trans-Continental Railroad.
For decades, my parents owned and operated a Chinese restaurant in Northern California and that's where I grew up. My desire to improve my vocabulary paid off at school in our weekly Spelling Bee. By the time I earned a degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Oregon, my word quest had gone beyond Chinese and English to include German and American Sign Language.
My television career has taken me around the world. I've lived and worked in Oregon, Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York City. My husband and I met while covering a coup attempt in the Philippines. Now I'm blessed to call Chicago home. Every day is a thrill as I use words to compose stories for "Good Day Chicago" and Fox Chicago News at Noon. I especially enjoy bringing you our "Cool Websites" segment and always welcome your comments and suggestions at firstname.lastname@example.com .
I love bringing you the news so much that when I went into labor with my daughter during a newscast, I just kept on talking despite the contractions. That show earned a New York Emmy Award for Best Morning Newscast.
For the past few years, I've been honored to serve as Co-President of the Asian American Journalists Association's Chicago chapter . I'm also active with the Chinese American Service League , the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce and the Organization of Chinese Americans .
Naturally, I love word games. Scrabble is my favorite and I'm training my son and daughter to play against me since my triple-word scores tend to make my husband (a one-time Presidential Scholar) spew a few too many choice words!

COLUMBIA, Tenn. — A husband and wife under prosecution in Glasgow for practicing dentistry without a license have been arrested in Tennessee.
According to the Associated Press, Michael and Lana Richardson were jailed in Maury County, Tennessee, after police said they were practicing dentistry without a license.
Michael Richardson also has a criminal hold from Warren County, Tennessee, that stems from a probation violation after a 1994 conviction on impersonation of a licensed professional and unlawful practice of dentistry.
Columbia police said Michael Richardson was practicing at Amazing Smiles.
The two are being held without bond and were scheduled to be arraigned Friday. Jail officials did not know whether they had obtained attorneys.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Carl William Ernst Engelhart, 95, long-time resident of Plattsburgh and Professor Emeritus of English at Plattsburgh State, died on Sept. 4, 2013, in Plattsburgh.
Engelhart was born on Jan. 14, 1918, in Waterville, Ohio, the son of the Rev. Frank and Ida (Reischauer) Engelhart. He grew up in various communities in the Midwest, places where his father, a Lutheran minister, served many congregations. He graduated from the Robert E. Denfeld High School in Duluth, Minn. He received his A.B. degree in 1939 from the University of Chicago. His M.A. and Ph.D. degrees were awarded by the University of Minnesota, where Engelhart served as an instructor of English. During World War II he taught for several years at the Kemper Military Academy in Boonville, Mo.
It was at the University of Minnesota where Carl met Margaret (Stevens) Engelhart, a fellow instructor who had earned her degrees at the University of Michigan and Columbia University. In 1949, they were married in her home town of Flint, Mich. In 1951, they moved to Plattsburgh when Carl was appointed instructor of English at the university. He rose through the academic ranks, becoming a Professor of English in 1956.
During the first five years at Plattsburgh State, Engelhart, along with Dr. George Yokum staged five all-college musicals: Brigadoon, Finians Rainbow, Trial by Jury, Down in the Valley, Carousel, and Of Thee I Sing. Former students still speak fondly of their participation in these productions.
In 1958, Carl was the first member of the College faculty to be awarded a Senior Fulbright Lectureship, which led him to the Interpreters' Institute of the University of Mainz, in what was then West Germany. During the summer of 1962, he was awarded a travel grant permitting him to participate in a US State Department sponsored symposium on Indian culture, which took place in Osmania University in Hyderabad, India. In 1967 he was awarded another Senior Fulbright Lectureship at the University of Graz, Austria, which honored him with a medal for meritorious service. His wife Margaret and children accompanied him on the year-long trips to West Germany and Austria. During the 1975-76 academic year Engelhart acted as a Visiting Fellow at the Hull (England) College of Higher Education and again was joined by his wife and youngest daughter, Deborah.
Following the Engelharts' return from Austria in 1968, Carl served for seven years as the chairman of the English Department at Plattsburgh State and briefly as the acting dean of the Division of the Humanities. He retired in 1985 after thirty-three years of service. That year he and Margaret were invited to Nankai University in Tianjin, China, to serve as Foreign Guest Experts. They returned to the States by way of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
In addition to the Engelharts' numerous contributions to the university during their fifty years in Plattsburgh, they were very active in the local community. They were most proud that, in the mid-fifties, they were among the group of twelve founding members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Plattsburgh. Over the years they served as officers, board and committee members, as well as Sunday school teachers. Carl is also fondly remembered for his contributions to the Fellowship's Christmas Eve program. Some years ago the Engelharts were named by the St. Lawrence District of the UUA as "Unsung Heroes" of the denomination.
In the early sixties, the Engelharts were instrumental in the creation of the Council on the Arts of Clinton County, an organization that came into being in response to the creation of the New York State Council on the Arts. For the first seven years of the Council's existence, Engelhart served as its president during those halcyon years when local councils could afford to present (with state subsidies) programs such as the New York City Opera, the National Ballet of Washington, and many theatre dance and music programs designed for school children in the area. Carl and Margaret were once named by the local Office of the Aging as "Treasures of the North Country".
In 2001, Carl and Margaret moved to their home in Vinalhaven, Maine, where they continued their community involvement, and were especially active as part of the effort to renovate the town library. When Carl and Margaret returned to the North Country in 2010 they were welcomed back graciously and enthusiastically by their Plattsburgh friends.

Late last summer my brother and I pulled into the parking lot of a gas station in East Knoxville and parked by the chain-link fence. The fence had a hole in it so we ducked through. We stepped over broken glass, fast food wrappers, stained towels, and underclothes—trash I didn't want to look at too closely. A foot path led down the hill and entered a little tunnel in the kudzu.
"Do you see it?" Daniel asked, pointing beyond the kudzu.
He had brought me to this desolate spot to show me "something great." At first I could only see a blur of green.
I saw the tomatoes first, bright red fruit popping out against the tangle of vegetation. Then, everything emerged into focus: the beds of okra and bush beans terraced into the steep hillside, squash and climbing beans with delicate white blossoms covering the fence—even a couple of rose bushes. It was a hidden garden tucked into a gravelly hillside between a concrete drainage ditch of a creek and a gas station.
The garden belongs to Devendra and Uma Patel, clerks at Fuel Plus, the gas station on Magnolia Avenue. They have maintained the garden for four years, and say they will plant it this year, too.
"She is my partner," says Devendra of Uma. "I built the garden, she does the important part. She cooks the food.
"I love to garden. My father and grandfather were farmers."
"We don't have enough space where we are living now," says Uma.
"And back there was just a bunch of garbage," Devendra says, gesturing behind the store.
When they first came here the area behind the gas station was a "very bad part" of land, says Devendra. There was scrap metal, old tires. Homeless people, who still have a camp nearby, had also left a lot of trash.
"I cleaned up the garbage," Devendra says.
"By himself," Uma says. "No one helped him."
"The land was like this," says Devendra, making a sloping motion with his hand. "I made steps."
His terraces are built with old window shutters and other repurposed materials. It's a casual and functional building style, but the care is evident in this garden carved out of the kudzu and debris. The creek flows by, cars fly over the bridge, people are in and out of the gas station in just a few moments. The garden makes its own peace in a place where everything else is hurrying along.
According to kgis.org, this bit of land belongs to the city, so technically the Patels' garden is a guerrilla garden, and guerrilla gardening can be fraught with peril. The Patels have caught homeless people taking vegetables, and two years ago, the city sprayed herbicide along First Creek killing their entire garden.
"My husband and I were really sad that night," says Uma.
Local guerrilla and community garden advocates complained to the city on behalf of the Patels, and Uma says a short time later some kind of city supervisor came into the gas station:
"'I'm sorry, Mrs. Uma,' he said. 'It won't happen again.'"
The Patels, from a small town outside Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat, grow a lot of Indian crops: okra, beans, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and squash, but no cool-weather crops.
"The garden's a mess right now," says Devendra.
"Empty," agrees Uma. "It's too cold!"
The Patels credit Brandy Slaybaugh, a community garden advocate, with encouraging their efforts. In the summer, when Slaybaugh stops by the gas station, the Patels share some of their produce with her.
"We don't sell," says Uma. "We only share."
Slaybaugh says she admires the way the Patels cleaned up the site and used recycled materials to build their garden.
"Their garden—it's guerrilla as it gets," Slaybaugh says.
Slaybaugh thinks the Patels have won over some people, including the city, to the benefits of guerrilla gardening. Last year, the city did manage to avoid poisoning the Patels' vegetables. But the Patels did not grow their garden to fulfill a political agenda.
"We like it," says Uma. "That's why we do it."

Even a small plot garden can produce an amazing bounty with a little planning. The Victory Garden plans from WWII are a great guide. Our leaders should again encourage and reward efforts that contribute to a self sustaining life but it seems dependance rather than sustenance is their goal.

"If you got it, you got it." That's a hard-to-argue-with philosophy taught to The Hub Boutique owner Laura Fanoe by her grandmother, Laura Krushansky.
"My grandmother and I had fun together. She was a fiery Venezuelan, a gorgeous woman, who always talked about the great times her and my aunt had owning and running their own clothes boutique, that was called The Hub," Fanoe remembers, "My grandmother and I always talked about opening a store together."
An "If you got it" outlook inspired 28-year-old Fanoe to open her store one year ago when she came into money that could either be saved or used as capital. The business involves Fanoe's parents, brother, in-laws, cousin, aunt and sister in-law. Grandmother Krushansky passed two years ago and her entrepreneurial spirits lives on.
Fanoe is responsible for buying and marketing. She attends Atlanta Apparel Markets shows to find lines to sell that satisfy a casual sophisticated style with emphasis on classic pieces for customers ranging in age from teens to midlife adults.
Vineyard Vines men's polo shirts retail for $80, women's shirts average under $50. Southern Tide, ZOA Clothing, jeans lines: AG, True Religion, James Jeans, and, Henry & Belle are lines that Fanoe said sell well in her store.
The Hub "in the E.C." anniversary party will include champagne and cupcakes, date to be announced.
Q. What's the best thing about your job?
A. Getting to be one up on next season fashions, and, working with family.
Q. What is the best thing about East Cobb?
A. It's a big place and it's small at the same time. I get to meet a lot of people who know someone I know, a friend of my brother's or someone who also goes to the Catholic Church of St. Ann. And, everything you need is here; restaurants like, Seed Kitchen & Bar, shopping, the movie theater.
East Cobb tends to have a bit more money than average, and, everyone's typically really nice and appreciative of what they have. People here have great morals. It's safe, a tight-knit community.
Q. Why did you choose to open your business in East Cobb?
A. We saw a need for a boutique like ours. There's no other small store for men in the area.
Also, it's our home. There's no other place we'd open our first store. My husband, Kevin Fanoe, and I both graduated from Walton High School. My younger sister is at Walton.
Q. Why did you pick this kind of business?
A. It's in the family. My grandmother and aunt founded The Hub Boutique in Indiana in the 1970s and ran it for years, before my grandparents moved to this area. A love of fashion is something my grandmother and I shared.
Q. What are some of the services you offer that people may not know about?
A. Shipping. We will ship for Christmas or to daughters and sons away at college.
We call when shipments of clothes come in if we know the customer is looking for something in particular.
There are toys in the dressing rooms for customers' children; everyone who works here has kids. We also keep a TV on sports for the men, offer beer and wine to customers on the weekends.
Q. When did you start your business?
A. Nov. 3, 2011.
Q. How did your business get started?
A. We picked this place because the space is on the small side and the lease has flexibility. It's our first store and we have plans to grow in size. We would also like to open another location. Keep it a family business, and grow it.
Q. Do you have advice for anyone who'd like to start a small business in this area?
A. Pay close attention to every minute detail. Even if you think it won't make a difference, the small things do matter.
Q. Is there anything else you'd like our readers to know?
A. We try really hard to always meet our customers' needs. We work to make sure that all our customers leave happy.

It wasn't a great day today. The youngest was nearly late to school and I had a 102-degree fever after fighting it off for days. Later I found a nail in my tire that left me stranded with a flat in a school parking lot.
Well, it was close enough to walk to my comfort doughnut place, , at the corner of Tujunga Avenue and Moorpark Street in a tiny mini-mall called Moorpark Plaza. There, my familiar waitresses served me up my two, delicious, Long John chocolate-bar doughnuts and a large cafe mocha. (It was 80 cents each for the big doughnuts and $4 for the mocha.)
Holly's looks like just a humble doughnut place, but there's so much more. For $4 you can get a pastrami sandwich, and this morning, I also tried out their scrambled, egg and bacon on a sesame bagel for $3.50. It hit the spot.
There's a Thai Shake for $3.75, for those adventurous enough to go for the uber-sweet drink.
Bagels are $1.25 each, and a dozen doughnuts are $7. Cinnamon rolls and apple fritters are $1.50, and a plain old cappuccino is $3.
The TV is always on a local news channel inside, and outside are tables in the morning sun (and you can buy cigarettes inside).
It was a comforting getaway, and I needed it. Turns out, the Auto Club came quickly, the Toyota dealer fixed the flat with no charge, I got a good idea for a story from the school near where the car broke down, and my fever broke before I had to teach class at UCLA Thursday night.
Can I credit Holly's and the chocolate Long Johns? I doubt it, but at least they good.

February 5, 1987: Sonny Bono declares his candidacy for mayor of Palm Springs, California
After Sonny Bono repeatedly butted heads with Palm Springs' city planning officials while opening a restaurant, the "I Got You Babe" singer took a different tactic: he decided to run the city.
Bono announced his candidacy for major of his desert hometown in 1987, with talk radio host Marshall Gilbert stepping in as his campaign manager. Despite having no substantial experience in politics, Bono won the election, serving as mayor from 1988 to 1992. During his time in office, he helped found the Palm Springs International Film Festival, which is now an important event in the movie industry.
Bono was elected to Congress as a Republican in 1994 and was reelected in 1996. He died in a skiing accident in 1998, at age 62, and was buried at Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City, near his beloved Palm Springs.
February 10, 1974: Phil Spector is seriously injured in a mysterious car crash
Troubled, hotheaded producer Phil Spector – he of the legendary "Wall of Sound" pop production technique, who recorded acts ranging from the Ronettes to Leonard Cohen (and put a gun to the latter's head) – was involved in a major car accident in 1974. Though he escaped with his life, he did suffer multiple head wounds and bodily burns and underwent surgery. A statement from his secretary, relayed later in the year to Rolling Stone, expressed confusion as to why Spector had even been in a car en route from Los Angeles to Phoenix or who he had been with during the drive.
The accident left Spector badly scarred, and he underwent plastic surgery. The event heightened his reclusive tendencies, further wrapping the producer in a veil of mystery that would only lift, tragically, when he was convicted for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson in 2009.

Return to Human Capital League
Jack Zenger and Joe Folkman ignited a firestorm of interest and debate with their March Harvard Business Review blog post Are Women Better Leaders than Men? Based on a recent survey of 7,280 leaders the study reinforced some long held beliefs and uncovered a few surprises in the gender debate.
They did confirm that 2/3 of leaders are men, and in higher organizational levels there are even higher numbers of men in charge. And women proved to be better at nurturing competencies such as developing others and building relationships.
But women's strengths went much further and were broader than the nurturing stereotypes. Zenger and Folkman found, "at every level, more women were rated by their peers, their bosses, their direct reports, and their other associates as better overall leaders than their male counterparts — and the higher the level, the wider that gap grows." Women were rated higher in 12 of the 16 competencies derived from 30 years of research and ZengerFolkman's large survey database.
Their blog post has generated over 200 comments and perspectives on this issue so far. The Washington Post reports on "a whirlwind of response … one of the most read articles on the (HBR) site in the past 30 days." Jena McGregor published an interview with Zenger and Folkman last Friday. Here are a few interesting conclusions:
Here's where you can explore more interviews and articles on this and related research:
To all those men in senior executive roles — especially technical organizations — wake up! Jack Zenger noted that "when looking at the percentage of males and females who were rated the highest and the lowest, females have a lower percentage of the worst and a higher percentage of the best." Why aren't you using all that strength?

tor·na·donoun \tȯr-ˈnā-(ˌ)dō\
: a violent and destructive storm in which powerful winds move around a central point
Full Definition of TORNADO
Examples of TORNADO
- in the path of a tornado
Origin of TORNADO
Rhymes with TORNADO
tornadonoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Violent, low-pressure storm, relatively small in diameter but with very rapidly rotating winds and an intense updraft near the centre. The relatively low pressure at the centre of a tornado's funnel-like vortex causes cooling and condensation, making the storm visible as a revolving column of cloud, which is called the funnel. Tornadoes normally travel at 30–40 mph (50–65 kph). The winds around the vortex may exceed 300 mph (500 kph) in extreme events. Tornadoes often occur in groups.

Serving the public interest. . .
We've all heard the insistent assertion that government worker's serve the public interest and private companies serve only their bottom line, and so, whom do you really want to trust. But, of course, the self-interest of the private sector is usually a good thing, and in government self-interest exists too. We all see it plain as day in politicians but it is just a prevalent in the bureaucracy as well. A new report by the California bureau of state audits (full report or summary) gives us just a snapshot of things that bureaucrats get up to following their own self interest. It's interesting stuff--funds misappropriated into employee party accounts, employees forced to do work for manager's private night-owl businesses, stealing money, and, of course, visiting porn web sights during work time.

Your loved one has been forgetting things lately—where he or she placed the car keys, a dentist appointment, even a good friend's name. The forgetfulness worries you. Are these memory lapses a sign of normal aging or symptoms of Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's affects parts of the brain that control memory and language. Some 4.5 million Americans suffer from the disease, and symptoms typically begin to appear after age 60.
Occasional forgetfulness doesn't mean someone has Alzheimer's. Blanking on someone's name or misplacing keys from time to time is normal. If it happens regularly, however, it could be cause for concern.
When to see the doctor
If your loved one shows any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with his or her healthcare provider:
Other reasons for memory loss
"These symptoms don't always mean Alzheimer's disease," says neurologist April Yuki, MD, of Lakeshore Health Partners–Neurology. "Your doctor should check for other conditions that may cause memory problems." These include drug interactions, dehydration, vitamin deficiency, poor nutrition, sleep disorders, thyroid problems and minor head injuries. Stress and depression can also make a person forgetful.
"There's more than one type of dementia, and they present in different ways," Dr. Yuki explains. "The more specific you can be about what type of memory problems someone is having, the better the doctor can delineate whether it's normal for his or her age, or is something else."
No single test can identify Alzheimer's disease. Doctors arrive at an Alzheimer's diagnosis after physical, neurological and mental health assessments, as well as lab tests to rule out other conditions. If the diagnosis is Alzheimer's, the symptoms will become progressively worse, but early drug treatment can sometimes delay decline.

Sony announced pricing and availability of its 4K-video-capable full-frame camera.
The new generation of the Asus Memo Pad 7 feels better made than its predecessor and packs in an Intel processor, all at a bargain price tag.
If you're on tightest of budgets, the Acer Iconia One 7 will meet your needs for very casual use, but don't expect more than that.
Oppo may have packed the Find 7 with the latest and greatest specs, but it faces stiff competition from the LG G3, which has similar specs but a better design.
As long as you don't need fast autofocus or great burst shooting, the Sony Alpha ILCE-7R is great, compact alternative to entry-level full-frame cameras from Nikon and Canon.
Although the Ascend P7 is certainly skinny and not too expensive, its unimpressive power and sometimes awkward interface makes it an acceptable -- albeit uninspiring choice. If you can find the P7 on a subsidised contract at a good price then it's worth a look, but some of last year's flagships could be a better choice for the same money.

After going 8-3 last season and making an appearance in the MIAA C Conference Championship game, the Severn football team is looking to finish this season with a victory.
"We absolutely want to win this year," said senior tight end Mike Dennin. "It was a really tough loss last year. But there is no looking back. You have to move forward and focus on the year coming up. We are going to build off that championship run we had last year, but this time we are going to finish it up and win."
Despite defeating St. Francis 33-0 during the regular season last year, the Admirals were unable to top them during the championship game. Severn fell to the Panthers 34-17 in the conference championship.
"This year we want to win the championship," said Jack Treanor a senior left tackle. "We lost in the championship last year, so I think it would be good to come back and win it this year and let people know we are still in the hunt."
Severn is off to a good start. Despite playing three teams in the upper B Conference the team is 2-1, with their only loss coming to Boys Latin in overtime.
Second-year Head Coach Chris Kirchenheiter said he is pleased with the team's start and is looking to build off what they learned from the loss.
"We opened up our season with three B Conference schools although we are a C conference school," Kirchenheiter said. "So to be 2-1 with a tough B conference we are pretty happy. We just want to build on the momentum we have now heading into our conference schedule."
While Severn is definitely intent on heading back to the championship game, there are other things the team is proud of. And that is bringing the football culture back to the school.
"In the past years football is something we kind of lost as a culture here at Severn," said senior defensive end David Watt. "We had some struggles and lost the culture. But now we are bringing it back to the school. It was once a huge part of the school, and now it is coming back strong and people are excited about football again."
Adding to the excitement is not just the varsity team's success, but the JV victories, as well. The JV football squad is off to a perfect 3-0 start.
"One of the things that we are most excited about is not just the success we are having at the varsity level," Kirchenheiter said. "We are extremely excited about the number of young players coming to Severn to play football. And our JV program is benefiting from that. It is off to 3-0 start. So the future looks bright too and that's great."

If you've never seen a cherimoya before, it may look a little odd at first -- like a large, leathery egg.
But slice into the green skin of this tropical fruit and you find that cherimoyas have wonderfully fragrant, almost custard-like flesh. The fruit, known as a "custard apple" in Britain, can be eaten raw or cooked -- simply scoop out the flesh, remove the seeds and use as desired.
