---- — Hazel Dickson, a lifelong Alden resident, participated in the Labor Day Mackinac Bridge for the first time in 1985 at the age of 73. She then proceeded to walk the bridge for 20 consecutive years, before a stroke at age 93 sidelined her. During those years of bridge walking, Hazel commented that she wanted to walk the bridge when she was 100 years old.
Hazel celebrated her 100th birthday on June 1, 2012, but is in a nursing home at Kalkaska Memorial Medical Center. Her health is so fragile that she is unable to even be wheeled across the bridge. So on Labor Day 2012, 50 of Hazel's relatives and friends donned "Hazel 100" red T-shirts and walked the Mackinac Bridge in her honor. Three of her children, Wava Donkers, Clarence "Smitty" Smith and Harry Dickson, were joined by one of Hazel's sisters, Viola Merkle, age 80, more than 10 nieces and nephews, and 15 grandchildren (great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren included). Clyde "Hezzie" Packer, age 90, was the oldest family member to walk the entire distance without assistance from a wheelchair. Three-month-old Ellie Packer was the youngest family member to cross the bridge.
Hazel will receive a group photo and a pillow made from one of the T-shirts as keepsakes from this event.
Albert "Al" Ockert, president of Northwest Michigan Chapter 38 of the Korean War Veterans, wrote to thank the people of the Grand Traverse area for their generosity during the chapter's annual fundraiser.
Kathryn Holl, grief support services manager with Hospice of Michigan, and the team at Hospice of Michigan wish to thank the community supporters of the third annual "Memories on the Manitou" sail.
On Sept. 12, the ship departed on a beautiful evening cruise with 55 passengers, ages 6 to 94, who came together to honor their loved ones with a memorial service aboard the ship, as well as to "take a breath of air" from their deep grief.
"We thank Traverse Tall Ships LLC, Comfort Keepers, Life Story Funeral Home, Mortensen Funeral Homes, Dockside Party Store, Newton Photography and the Blue Goat," Kathryn wrote.
John Sawyer, a member of Robert Finch Camp #14 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, was featured in a Sept. 9 Northern Living story about his project to clean up and restore the overgrown Fouch Road Cemetery in Leelanau County.
John wrote on behalf of himself and Chris Slaven-Brott, who has family members interred in the cemetery, to thank Jack Deering, owner of Deering's Tree Service, Maple City; Ron Popp, owner of Popp's Excavating, Traverse City; and Terry Walters, owner of Ace Welding, Traverse City, for providing their help at no cost.
"They provided their professional services cheerfully and without hesitation," John wrote.

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service responded to 371 calls from 5 p.m. Monday to 4 a.m. Tuesday, as Hurricane Sandy brought heavy rain and high winds to the region.
Calls for assistance peaked between 8 - 10 p.m. Monday, when personnel responded to 156 calls, according to an MCFRS update. Around 9 p.m., rescue officials said they were handling an increase in requests for assistance with trees and wires down.
"Naturally, with the wind we've had and the rain, this is to be expected," said assistant chief Scott Goldstein in a video update.
Responders were called out 47 times between midnight and 4 a.m.
MCFRS responded to three calls for water rescues from residents trapped in their cars, but all three were out and safe when units arrived, according to the update.
Rescuers described a "significant" incident in the 20 block of Machester Place in Silver Spring, where a causing a "major gas leak."
The leak was brought under control quickly and no one was injured, but 14 adults and five children were displaced, according to the update.

What is WSU doing to address copyright infringement?
The Information Technology Department, in conjunction with Student Life and Development, have collaborated on a process to address copyright infringements. As a University that supports over 8000 laptops, the idea is not to punish students, but rather educate them. When students receive their laptop, they view an eleven minute Appropriate Computing video. This is customized to Winona State University, and includes information about illegal downloading. WSU has also added a paragraph to the end of the Student Laptop Agreement, which addresses copyright infringments.
When a violation is reported to Winona State, the following action is taken:
1. Student is identified, and notified via email.
2. The student comes to the Technical Support Center and meets with someone who will educate them on copyright infringements, including illegal downloading.
3. The student reads and signs the form found below. The student is also given information about legal music downloading sites.
4. Student must refer to the Student Conduct Policy for subsequent violations.

Privatization of public services can be a good thing.
But not always. These matters always warrant a case-by case assessment.
Ideally, privatization serves the public interest when it promotes innovation, efficiency and perhaps even some measure of competition. Private businesses handling public services may have a financial incentive to perform better that government agencies don't possess.
But privatization doesn't always work. If the move simply creates another level of bureaucracy and adds to consumer costs, what's the benefit? At times, privatization can be little more than a scheme to direct public funds to politically connected cronies.
The current federal charges involving the former director of the cyber school program in Beaver County could turn out to be an example of that.
Last week, the Corbett administration announced an extension of an agreement with a British firm seeking to privately run the Pennsylvania Lottery. The administration reached such a deal months ago, but it was blocked by Attorney General Kathleen Kane.
Among other things, Kane said the privatization move and expanded gambling options included in the deal were unconstitutional, because Gov. Tom Corbett was acting without legislative approval.
I believe Kane is absolutely correct. Regardless of one's ideological perspectives on privatization, the lottery is a program created by the Legislature. And lawmakers did not authorize anything close to the changes Corbett is seeking.
Unfortunately, when the governor made his privatization push, his fellow Republicans who control the General Assembly were largely silent. Something tells me that wouldn't happen if a Democratic governor was advocating it.
I can understand Corbett not wanting to seek lawmaker support for this plan. Getting the Pennsylvania Legislature to do anything of consequence is an ambitious undertaking.
And the governor already has plenty of experience on that point. Just ask him about liquor privatization or transportation funding.
But behind the lottery privatization issue is a more philosophical one. It involves the nature of gambling and government's seemingly endless desire to squeeze more money from the vice.
In advocating for his lottery privatization plan, Corbett argued an outside firm would be able to generate more revenue for the programs the lottery supports. Yet the reality is that this could happen only through expanded gambling options.
In other words, the state would have to encourage people to bet more frequently on the slim chance of a big payoff.
Critics often describe lottery programs as taxes on the poor, or perhaps the gullible. It's safe to assume that millionaires don't bother to play the Daily Number, but people struggling for a few extra bucks do. By using the lottery to fund assorted programs for the elderly in Pennsylvania, the pressure to use tax dollars is decreased.
Defenders argue playing the lottery is a choice, not a tax. True, but from government's perspective, the only difference is that there are no repercussions from imposing more gambling on the public, but taxes will prompt a reaction.
However, there ought to be repercussions. Gambling does not promote growth or produce a better society. It creates the false promise of something for nothing. And citizens should question government's growing embrace of vice as a way to grab easy cash.

Valparaiso (9-13, 1-2 Horizon)
Games #23-25
Friday, March 29th, 11:30 a.m. CDT
Les Miller Field - Chicago, Illinois
This Week in Crusader Baseball: Mother Nature continues to flex her muscle as a spring winter storm has prompted a multitude of changes to the baseball docket. The Valpo/Milwaukee series scheduled for this weekend at Henry Aaron Field in Milwaukee was moved to the turf at Les Miller Field on the campus of UIC. The Crusaders will look to slow down the Panthers who've come out the gate firing in Horizon League play, winning four of six on the road.
Scouting the Panthers: Milwaukee currently stands at 8-11 overall. The Panthers went in to Dayton and won two of three against Wright State to open Horizon League play March 15th and 16th. Milwaukee followed that up with a convincing series win over UIC on their home turf. The Panthers faced a strenuous non-conference schedule in February with a four-game series at New Mexico State and a three-game set against #20 Miami in Coral Gables.
Et Cetera: Through 22 games, Valpo has neither scored nor allowed double digits runs in a contest...At 9-13, the Crusaders sit one game ahead of where they were a year ago at this point...Saturday's afternoon starter Chris DeBoo has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since his Crusader debut on February 17th at Belmont...The weekend starters collectively are 4-11, despite a combined 3.49 earned-run average...Center fielder Bryce Hara has recorded a hit in nine straight games...Kyle Wormington is the only Crusader starting pitcher to have faced the Panthers. He dominated Milwaukee last season, going 2-0 with a 1.76 ERA, and walking just one batter in 15 1/3 innings.

Community Notes
November proved to be an interesting month in the Linux and Free Software communities. Things started out pretty normally, with another successful Ubuntu release and the accompanying "Ubuntu Below Zero" hacker gathering in Montreal. We also saw a new distribution from RedHat (their Enterprise Directory distribution) and some turbulent times for a couple of other vendors. By the middle of the month, Microsoft was hinting that it might finally standardize the Microsoft Office file formats under an international body, leading some to wonder if they were trying to turn over a new leaf. But alas, it didn't last. As the month came to an end, Microsoft drew fire from the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) in a scandal that many Free Software enthusiasts feel has tainted the UN World Summit on Information Society.

State of the Arts Gallery, one of the oldest art galleries in downtown Olympia, celebrates 20 years in business this month after almost closing about 18 months ago.
Owner Deb Moody has marked the milestone by asking past artists who have shown their work in her gallery to produce art — in the medium of their choice — incorporating the number "20" into their work. Several of those pieces were raffled off to customers at a recent anniversary event, which included an appearance by local musician Holly Gwinn Graham.
Graham also performed when the gallery first opened, Moody said.
But what a difference 18 months makes.
In June 2011, Moody was debating whether to close the longtime gallery at 500 Washington St. SE, hoping that a "save our gallery" sale would do the trick. Up to that point, the recession had hit hard, with business falling by 20 percent every year since 2007, she told The Olympian that month.
That news story, an accommodating landlord and a slowly rebounding economy have helped keep the gallery going, Moody said Sunday.
"I couldn't have lasted without his support," she said about landlord Rick Panowicz.
She also said some of her past customers have given up waiting for the economy to improve and are spending money again, and she has stepped up her game on Facebook, posting more frequently about her business. Moody also has joined Pinterest, an image- and information-sharing website, she said.
Bitsy Bidwell, an artist, a gallery employee and a longtime friend of Moody's, added Sunday that business is steadier and more predictable now, avoiding the violent ups and downs in business during the worst of the recession. "It doesn't feel like that anymore," she said.
Business was certainly steady with customers Sunday, including Sly Boskovich and her niece, Nevaeh Brewer, 11, who were visiting from Tacoma.
Nevaeh, who is set to move to Olympia, was being shown around downtown by her aunt, including a stop at State of the Arts.
Boskovich, who often visits downtown Olympia, praised it for its farmers market, coffee shops and fun, relaxing, casual environment.
"I like the downtown area," she said.
Moody said she couldn't thank her customers enough.
"Without them we wouldn't be here," she said.Rolf Boone: 360-754-5403 email@example.com theolympian.com/bizblog

Avoid Unnecessary Expenses & Delays by Meeting Your Customers' Requirements the First Time
Many companies experience the pain of expensive recalls, costly product rework, and unexpected delays in product releases. A major contributing factor is the lack of a closed loop, system level product design verification and validation process. Ensuring your customers' needs are met through digital or physical means as the design progresses is a critical part of product development and can help you avoid these expenses and delays.
Organizational complexity, product complexity, and tool complexity have outpaced support infrastructure to ensure that what is delivered conforms to what was requested by the customer. Some key challenges of system level verification and validation include collaborating and iterating early enough during system architecture design phase. Organizations often struggle with flowing requirements down from the system level into the individual engineering disciplines to define what needs to be developed to satisfy customer requirements. Lack of coordination across engineering disciplines exacerbates this problem.
Another prominent challenge is putting simple-to-use analysis capabilities in the hands of mechanical design engineers to allow them to design products right the first time - streamlining the creation and management of specific product configurations appropriate for digital and physical testing purposes, and providing traceability between results and design configurations.
PTC's Product Development System (PDS) provides simple, powerful simulation capabilities that allow engineers to develop a more informed design through virtual product testing early in the process. PTC links system level requirements with system level test that flow into software, mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines for further closed loop testing. Test results are linked to original customer requirements and design configurations for downstream traceability and reuse.

Kris, from the Zazzle store KrispysKingdom, wanted to share a great project that combines helping cancer patients and Zazzle in a new and unique way. Read Kris's story below for another edition of "Guest Blog," for Seller Wednesday!
Kris: It all started with my cousin, Kelli. At the age of 26 she was diagnosed with Lymphoma and fought for more than 4 years to battle this deadly disease. Kelli is now 32 and has just 4 more years to go without the cancer returning before she will be considered cancer-free.
During her first cancer treatment round, Kelli had a terrible time keeping the mass of paperwork organized. Necessity being the mother of invention, Kelli created a binder to organize her cancer treatment paperwork to make sure nothing was missed – the Feel Better Binder was born. After recovery (and a couple more years to feel like herself again) Kelli asked me to help develop the Feel Better Binder on Zazzle to help other cancer patients stay organized. Zazzle's custom binders, combined with my design skills, became a way for Kelli to aid other cancer patients who were feeling the burden of treatment.
The Feel Better Binder along with the informational PDF available in my store is one way family and friends can help cancer patients in dealing with the incredible amount of work it takes to overcome the disease.

Erin J. Wyatt
So many people need help. It feels good to have the energy and passion—and now the skills—to help them."
Undergrad: BA in Anthropology, University of Utah
Career before law school: whitewater river guide, sustainability organizer
Erin Wyatt is excited about bringing her legal training to a career in the nonprofit world. "There are so many ways to use a law degree," she explains. "Law school teaches you new skills in writing and research, and because law governs our lives in many ways, knowing how it works is valuable to such diverse fields." The Utah native plans to move to Seattle, take the Washington or Alaska bar exam, and work in a community-oriented nonprofit.
Wyatt was originally drawn to VLS's environmental law program-not surprising for a former whitewater river guide and sustainability organizer. But a different path opened up as she involved herself in campus and community life. "Environmental law is important, but I found my personality is more suited to talking with people and helping them take on smaller-scale issues," she says. Two summer clerkships helped her do just that. In Salt Lake City, she clerked for a firm holding a public defender contract and met with clients in the state prison in addition to drawing up legal documents. With Alaska Legal Services Corporation in Juneau, researching and drafting motions were just part of her job-she also gave free legal advice to senior citizens in a remote Native village.
Perhaps her most formative law school experience, says Wyatt, was working as a student clinician in the South Royalton Legal Clinic, Vermont's largest poverty law clinic. "It was amazing that after two years of law school, I could go beyond hypotheticals and use my skills to help resolve real people's problems." Working alongside leading clinical professors also taught Wyatt how to manage the emotional toll of such work. "You learn you can't go into a case thinking you're a magician. Sometimes people make bad decisions, but they're their own decisions. You have to just let go and be grateful for what you have and for how you can help." Wyatt herself had very little while growing up in rural Utah: "What I'm doing is rooted in my own background," she notes. "We were poor-we made it through, but there was really no help available when we needed it."
At VLS Wyatt found numerous opportunities outside the clinic to help her fellow students and residents of the Upper Valley. She held two executive positions with the Student Bar Association, organized campus social events, and was the force behind community blood drives, food drives, and community service projects that benefited local children. No wonder that at the 2012 Commencement Ceremonies the Vermont Law School Alumni Association recognized her outstanding contributions with the Alumni Award.
Wyatt's optimistic about what's next. "My philosophy is, 'go where your interests are, but be open to new paths.' I'd like to start or direct a nonprofit that uses community outreach and education to bring people together." She adds, "So many people need help. It feels good to have the energy and passion-and now the skills-to help them."

Selinsgrove ran the ball 19 consecutive times, capping a long TD drive with a game-winning quarterback sneak by Tyler Krebs as the Seals beat Shamokin, 20-13, in a HAC-I game Friday night at Kemp Memorial Stadium.
Krebs' quarterback keeper with 14 seconds. The Seals (4-0, 3-0 HAC-I) did nothing flashy and only had only two runs of 10 yards, both by sophomore halfback Zach Adams.
But the Indians' defense, tough all night up front, gave up yards grudgingly and it came down to a fourth-and-one at the one-yard line and the Seals took time out with 19 seconds to play.
Adams, who found yards harder to come by against the Indians than he did earlier in the week against Shikellamy, said of the winning drive, "We knew we were running it every single play and when we got down inside the five, there was not even a thought about kicking the ball, we were just pounding it in."
After the kickoff, freshman tackle Andrew Boob dropped Shamokin quarterback Tucker Yost for a five-yard loss and the game ended on an incompletion.
The Seals led just 7-6 at the half with the Indians' getting 35- and 22-yard field goals from Jonathan Deitrick and the Seals an exciting 46-yard TD run by senior fullback Mike Walter.
Hess said the team came out flat and that was addressed at halftime. He thought they came out a much better team in the second half.
The Indians (1-3, 1-2) forced a three-and-out on the opening series, but the snap to punter Deitrick bounced twice in front of him and by the time he corralled it, he was buried at the Indians' 5-yard line by Walter and Boob.
Three plays later, Walter went over left tackle for the TD, but the PAT sailed wide left, giving the Seals a precarious 13-6 lead with 8:42 left in the third.

Rating Business Rating Systems
Ratings in environmental practices must be consistent and honest.
David Brodwin is a cofounder and board member of American Sustainable Business Council. Follow him on Twitter at @davidbrodwin.
Once upon a time, "corporate performance" meant growth in sales and profit, pure and simple. However, over the past two decades, pressure from customers, investors, and activists has aimed the spotlight at nonfinancial measures like environmental and labor practices and corporate governance. More than 100 new rating firms have sprung up to track performance in these areas. Executives have begun to pay attention.
The proliferation of new (and mostly proprietary) ratings was once welcomed, but it has now become a challenge. Investors and other stakeholders struggle to understand what each rating covers, and why different rating services produce wildly different scores for the same company. Rated companies struggle to supply data to dozens of independent rating services. Ratings do not yet have the impact they should in promoting a more sustainable economy.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
A Need for Clarity and Consistency
Ratings only add value if it's clear what is being rated, and if the results are consistent and honest. The proliferation of diverse rating methodologies confuses the market, and it delays the changes that more robust ratings could foster.
Some of the confusion involves what is being measured. For example, a company may receive a high rating from one service for its energy-efficient data centers while getting a poor rating from another service for labor conditions in its factories. Some of the confusion results from inconsistent ratings over time: A company may get a top rating one year and a mediocre rating the next year, even though little has changed in its operations. And conflicts of interest undermine trust, as some ratings services seek consulting contracts from the companies they rate. With all this confusion, companies have learned how to cherry-pick the ratings. They proudly display those ratings that put them in a positive light while avoiding those that yield less favorable results.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Does the J.P. Morgan Loss Prove the Need for Tougher Bank Regulations?]
Rating the Raters
"We need rating instruments that are credible, efficient, and understandable" says Allen White, Vice President at Tellus Institute and founder of the Global Initiative for Sustainability Ratings. The Global Initiative, a joint project of Tellus and the NGO Ceres, will certify ratings against a standard of excellence to help investors and other users understand what lies behind the assessments produced by various raters.
The Global Initiative's rating certification will work at three levels: principles, issues, and indicators. A level 1 certification means that the principles underlying the rating align with basic standards put forward by the organization. A level 2 certification means that the issues (e.g. carbon emission, living wages, good governance) that the rating addresses are comprehensive give the stated purpose of the rating. And a level 3 certification means that the specific indicators are robust for the issues being rated. Any rating service can be certified at any of the three levels. The certification will include a narrative that describes what the rating covers and how well it covers it.
What a Sustainability Rating Really Means
The Global Initiative for Sustainability Rating certification will help the public understand what various ratings really mean. For example, suppose you are a wine buyer for a restaurant. You are considering a wine from a vintner that claims a 5 star rating for sustainability. With the group's certification framework, you could find out that that this particular rating service does an excellent job of assessing the carbon footprint of the winery's agricultural practices and their outbound logistics. But, you would also learn that the rating does not consider labor practices, and it is lenient in its treatment of potentially hazardous pesticides. Based on that information, an investor, consumer, or potential employee could make a more informed decision about the credibility of the winery's rating.
[See a collection of political cartoons on energy policy.]
Fewer but Better Ratings
The Global Initiative for Sustainability Rating and its partners hope that their certification will encourage greater use of sustainability ratings by enhancing their rigor, dynamism, and transparency. They also hope that by assessing ratings they will encourage weaker rating services to improve. Ultimately the result may be fewer ratings, but the ones that survive will be more useful and more influential in the marketplace. The Global Initiative has an impressive list of partners in the United States and abroad, including AMD, USB, Siemens, PepsiCo, Bloomberg, Hermes and Oxfam.
Growing the Power of Sustainability Ratings
Sustainability ratings are attracting new respect among investors and operating companies. "Sustainability works!" says Bruno Bertocci, head of global sustainable equity investing for UBS. UBS has found that top performers on sustainability metrics build superior brand equity and often have an edge in attracting talent. In Bertocci's experience, "when sustainability factors are taken into account alongside traditional measures of valuation, superior investment results can be obtained."
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should the Government Invest in Green Energy?]
AMD found that their focus on sustainability led them to build tools for making more energy-efficient semiconductors, which are very popular with consumers. In addition, sustainability metrics help them choose better suppliers. Says Tim Mohin, director of corporate responsibility for AMD: "When a potential supplier opens up to a third party to rate them on sustainability, it usually means they are well-managed in other ways."
Most importantly from a financial standpoint, the discipline of sustainability reduces risks. BP's disaster with Deepwater Horizon might not have happened had the company been rigorously rated on its environmental practices. They would have found the weaknesses in their systems and processes before the disaster occurred. Wal-Mart's recent connection with a tragic factory fire at one of its suppliers might also have been avoided.
We have not yet reached the point where investors raise sustainability issues on quarterly earnings calls. But that day is approaching, as more companies understand that sensible, well-constructed sustainability metrics pay off in financial terms. Certifying raters against a world class standard is an important step toward making ratings more credible, more pervasive, and ultimately more effective.

Preparations are under way and families are getting ready for the big candy fest scheduled for the end of the month. Costumes catalogues are being scoured for the right outfit for little trick or treaters, shelves are being stocked with yellow and orange candy bars and front yards are decorated with ghosts and goblins - there's no doubt, October is here.
We're all happy to see those cute little angels, pumpkins or miniature Superman look alikes who knock on our door and sing "trick or treat" on Oct. 31 each year. Well, most of us are anway. But how do we feel about the 14- or 15-year-olds, some not even bothered to dress up, who stop by for their share of the loot?
Organized events in many municipalities have a stipulation - elementary school-age only and participants must be dressed for the occasion. But it isn't so easy to enforce this when an older child or teen knocks on your front door and holds out his or her pillowcase, often already laden with goodies.
So what do you think? What age is too old for door-to-door neighborhood trick or treating?

Every red-bloodied American knows that when it comes to Thanksgiving, cranberries are American as apple pie. Contrary to popular belief, cranberries didn't come over on the Mayflower, but were a staple of Native Americans long before the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621. They're one of only three native North American fruits — Concord grapes and blueberries are the others — and before the Pilgrims dubbed them "crane berry" (because the shape of the fruit's blossoms resembled the heads of cranes), Native Americans called them by names like ibimi, atoqua, and sassamanesh.
Cranberry sauce — smooth, whole berry, chopped into chutney, or molded with other fruits — is a "must" with Thanksgiving turkey, but the little berry has proven to be far more versatile as an ingredient in everything from colorful Cosmopolitans and Cranberry Martinis to cranberry muffins and not-so-classic shortbreads that will leave you begging for more. Visit this space next week for more recipes.
Cranberry-Walnut Chutney
Makes 2 cups
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped dates
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
1/3 cup finely diced apple
1 tablespoon crystalized ginger
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
In a large nonreactive saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the walnuts. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally. Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Serve at room temperature.
Cranberry Brie Appetizer Bites
Makes 30 appetizers
2 packages (30) mini fillo shells, such as Athens brand
3/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce or Cranberry-Walnut Chutney
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
One 8-ounce round of Brie
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the fillo cups on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce or Cranberry-Walnut Chutney, lemon juice, and peel.
2. Cut the cheese into 30 ½-inch cubes and place 1 in each cup. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is soft. Remove from oven and just before serving top each with about 1 teaspoon of the cranberry mixture.

The Chronicle
Pella —
To the editor,
There are many reasons to view the Pella Historical Society's Civil War exhibit at the Scholte House. First of all, it represents the collaboration of Society members with a first-class scholar, Dr. Ron Rietveld, who specializes in both the Civil War and also the life of Pella's founder, H. P. Scholte. Many of the artifacts on display are from Dr. Rietveld's own collection. It also does an uncommonly successful job of conveying the human cost of the War right here in Iowa.
Among many worthwhile topics documented by the artifacts, documents, and photos, I would like to call attention to two.
The Ruckman brothers from nearby Red Rock are among the recruits from Central College who perished in the War. The Ruckman display includes copies and transcriptions of documents, photos, and a heart-rending audio report. For those who wish to pause and delve a bit deeper into this episode in our history, there is a handy booklet at the display station containing copies of the surviving documentation.
At another station is the typescript of William H. Allen's harrowing experiences in the notorious prison at Andersonville, GA (now a National Historic Site). More than 12,000 of approximately 45,000 Union prisoners held at the camp died of disease, malnutrition, physical abuse and execution.
The exhibit runs through October 30.

Diversity of subject and medium in contemporary and traditional styles were evident in the art displayed during the Cherokee National Holiday – at the Cherokee Art Center downtown, the Cherokee Heritage Center Art Show, and among the artisans outdoors at vendor booths.
"The Homecoming Show at the Heritage Center is all Cherokee, and the Holiday Art Show is all Native Americans," said Donna Tinnin, staffer with Cherokee Nation Cultural Tourism.
At the Cherokee Heritage Center, Curator Mickel Yantz was on hand to talk with visitors.
"Being able to share the diversity of Cherokee art, both traditional and contemporary, with so many guests, is what makes this show such a great opportunity for artists and visitors," said Yantz.
NDN Art Gallery and Frame hosted Monica Brown Friday and Saturday nights for an art show open house. Horses and portraits of people and pets are Brown's favorite subjects.
"This was the largest art opening we've ever had," said Stephanie Lusher, co-owner of the gallery.
This is the first year for the Cherokee Art Center downtown to be up and running during the holiday weekend. The center was open Saturday afternoon, and several artists were demonstrating their crafts – including potters Troy Jackson and Jane Osti, loom-weaver Dorothy Ice and shell jewelry-maker Knokovtee Scott.
Artist Kyle Brown was showing his family around the Cherokee Art Center. He had two pieces hanging at the Center and at the Armory.
"There's diverse art at the Armory and at the Art Center, too," Brown said. "I like seeing all the different tribes coming together in unity. In the parade, it was cool seeing the Keetoowah Band being a part of the festivities; we're all from the same ancestors."
Cultural Specialist Callie Chunestudy, at the Art Center gift shop, said Janet Smith pieces and Leslie Gates' gourds were selling well, along with prints by Roy Boney Jr., Joseph Erb and Jeff Edwards.
"We get more traffic this time of year than any other time of year," Chunestudy said. "People will talk to you about art work they've seen, and I've talked to people about putting work in here."
Current work for sale includes carved, painted and decorated gourds; baskets; weaving; and beadwork such as beaded high-top moccasins.

Corinne's Thread: Pillowcases for Every Bed
Back when I was newer to crafting a wise knitter (it was Joelle!) told me that if you can knit a pair of mittens you can knit anything. Even though mittens are small they require many different skills so their lessons are easy to blow up on a bigger scale. Now that I'm little wiser myself I've found that, much like playing scales on the piano or running drills in basketball, there are certain fundamental craft projects that set you up for wider success!
These zipper pouches are just such a fundamental project: a simple pattern that serves to build confidence and competence. Plus the finished pouches are super useful and cute! They're a perfect project for a new sewist who wants to start working with zippers and edgestitching or for any more experienced sewists out there who might suffer from zipper anxiety!
Our Materials for Simple Lined Zipper Pouches kit contains everything you'll need to make six pouches in a range of sizes so you'll be able to get plenty of practice with your new skills! Once you've mastered these just think of the places you'll go!- Molly

Rigid heddle weaving is a relatively new pursuit of ours here at the Purl Bee. With last spring's arrival of Schacht Spindle Co's tabletop Cricket Loom a whole world opened for us, a world of reeds and shuttles, warps and wefts. And as we explore this unfamiliar land, under every rock is a surprise even more beautiful than the last.
This project pairs fine yarns with a fairly open reed and a light touch. With the ocean and its salty breezes and sparkling tides on my mind, I chose for the weft Alchemy's Silken Straw. It embodies the rusticity of driftwood together with the elegance of a pearl. In contrast, Purl Soho's extraordinary Line Weight serves as the warp. A simple single ply of merino, it brings a cottony, matte softness to the project.
As exquisite as the Pearl Cowl looks, it's actually a breeze to make. Even if you have never woven before, you can plunge into the ocean and come up with a pearl! To get started, pick up Purl Soho's Materials for Pearl Cowl, which comes either with the 15-inch Cricket Loom or as a yarn-only kit.
And don't forget dear mom, whose day is less than a month away. Wouldn't she feel as beautiful as a mermaid in her own Pearl Cowl? Happy weaving! -Whitney

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was accepted into a pretrial intervention program that could enable him to avoid prosecution in an alleged assault of his wife.
If Rice completes the diversion program, a third-degree charge of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury would be dismissed, leaving the arrest on his record but no conviction.
The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office approved the motion on Monday and Superior Court Judge Michael Donio confirmed it on Tuesday.
Rice and Janay Palmer were charged with simple assault on Feb. 15 during an incident at a casino in Atlantic City, N.J. Palmer, who was Rice's fiancee at the time but now his wife, was knocked unconscious during an altercation. Video obtained by TMZ showed Rice moving Palmer from an elevator.
The 27-year-old Rice was indicted on March 27, but the charge against Palmer was dropped. The two married on March 28. Palmer has remained supportive of her husband.
"This decision was arrived at after careful consideration of the information contained in Mr. Rice's application in light of all of the facts gathered during the investigation," acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain said. "After considering all relevant information in light of applicable law, it was determined that this was the appropriate disposition."
Rice's attorney, Michael Diamondstein, said his client was satisfied with the outcome.
"We agree with the prosecutors and the court that, as a matter of law, placing Mr. Rice in PTI was the correct decision," Diamondstein said. "We were concerned that Mr. Rice would be treated more harshly because of his celebrity status. We are thankful that he was not. We are thankful that he was given the same treatment as anyone else in a similar situation."
No details were given on Rice's pretrial intervention requirements, which can extend from six months to four years.
Rice is coming off a subpar 2013 season that saw his rush for only 660 yards on 214 carries after four consecutive seasons of more than 1,100 yards on the ground.

Mortgage Rates Sink to New Record Lows
The Federal Reserve's bond-buying program has helped push rates to at least a 60-year low.
Mortgage rates are falling again, this time touching new all-time lows on weakening economic indicators and news that the Federal Reserve will buy billions of dollars in mortgage-backed securities until the labor market improves.
Rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages sank to an average of 3.36 percent this week according to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey. That's down from an already rock-bottom average of 3.4 percent last week and more than 0.5 percent lower from a year ago.
[READ: Most Swing States Post Home Price Increases]
Interest rates for shorter term loans fell as well, with average rates for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages well below 3 percent at 2.69 percent. A year ago, rates were around 3.26 percent.
Last month, the Fed committed to buying an additional $40 billion per month in mortgage-backed securities, underscoring its intention to keep interest rates low through mid-2015 to stimulate borrowing and more economic activity.
[READ: Can the Fed Unprint Money?]
"When you have a really big buyer—such as the Fed—enter the market, this will increase demand for mortgage-backed securities. Think back to simple economic principles of supply and demand," says Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist at Freddie Mac. "More demand pushes up the price of these securities and with fixed-income securities such as mortgage-backed securities or Treasuries, when the price goes up, the yield goes down."
Yields more or less correlate with interest rates and by pushing rates lower, the Fed hopes to drum up lending and borrowing in the economy—especially in the housing market. The housing market, which has been a net drag during the nation's very tepid economic recovery, is just beginning to find its feet and economists have high hopes for the sector's ability to help improve America's fiscal situation.
"The Fed wants to stimulate housing demand because during the recovery—and we're three years into the recovery now—the housing market has been the laggard," Nothaft says. "That is so different from each and every recovery we've had in the post-WWII period. Everything is backwards."
In some ways, strength in the housing market is already starting to materialize. While some economists are still hesitant to announce that real estate is back, a handful of indicators, especially in the new home sector look encouraging.
[LIVE BLOG: Check out a run-down of Wednesday night's presidential debate.]
Housing starts were up more than 30 percent from a year ago in August, meaning builders are seeing demand from would-be buyers and breaking ground on more new homes. Although economists note the strong numbers are coming up off of abysmal lows, improvement in the decimated construction sector is a key to recovery not only in the housing market but in the broader economy, primarily because construction is a key job creator.
Most economists don't think construction employment will ever return to the dizzying heights of the early 2000s, but more demand for housing will likely put more Americans back to work in various capacities related to the housing market.
"It's at least a 60-year low in mortgage rates," Nothaft says. "That's translated into more housing demand and that's one reason the Fed has been so aggressive in focusing on mortgage rates."

We made this to freeze and put in individual bags for a quick snack or lunch. They are great. The only thing I would point out is to put the pan on the bottom rack in the oven. This may be obvious to some people since it's being broiled but it was not obvious to me and I tried to put both pans on the top rack. Luckily, they didn't fit side by side but my first batch was scorched by the broiler. The second, which was on the bottom rack turned out perfect!
Polish Mistakes are a family favorite we have been making for YEARS! I can't believe I found them on here, I thought they were a family secret!! I make these frequently for appetizers usually around Christmas time and they are a HUGE hit. We, however do not use onion, instead we use basil, a pinch of fennel, onion powder, and garlic powder (TBS of each). I have never once heard the complaint that they are bland. Velveeta is the best cheese to use, i wouldn't substitute with store brand
Try making them with a spoonful of garlic mashed potatoes on the rye,then add the meat mixture. When cooled somewhat top with a slice of cucumber or grape tomato ~Delicious appetizer.

deadpool223 says: a brilliant game that uses a landing zone system instead of the usual base-building mechanics. I love the supply cap way of the more troops the less resources you gain to balance out your army.
deadpool223 says: I love this game might have to buy the original off GOG someday when I get the time.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Logan's run to Tampa Bay.
The Rays have acquired infielder Logan Forsythe from the Padres as part of a seven player trade.
Reliever Alex Torres heads to San Diego as part of the return package, along with right-handed pitcher Jesse Hahn.
In addition to Forsythe, the Rays also get infielder Maxx Tissenbaum and pitchers Matt Andriese, Brad Boxberger and Matt Lollis.
Forsythe, age 27, is coming off a 2013 season in which he batted .214/.281/.332 with six home runs in 75 games. For his career, he's a .241/.310/.349 hitter (88 OPS+) across parts of three major-league seasons. As well, Forsythe is capable manning shortstop, second, third and the outfield corners….
As for Torres, the Padres are getting a 26-year-old lefty who last season pitched to a 1.71 ERA with 62 strikeouts and 19 unintentional walks in 58 innings of work. In parts of two MLB seasons, Torres boasts an ERA+ of 201 and an opponents' batting line of .172/.269/.233./blockquote>

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Altos de Lanzaga has a spellbinding, pure bouquet of red currant, wild strawberry and thyme that is imbued with immense purity and delineation. The palate has a satin-like texture with superb acidity and filigree tannins that lend it a Burgundian, Romanee-St-Vivant inspired finish. This..

Levi Johnston Naked (The Second Biggest Result of John McCain's Campaign) Is Available for Public Perusal
If you're wondering what that sound you didn't hear over the weekend wasn't, it was most likely the non-sound of Levi Johnston's naked de-penised photographs finally hitting the Internet [NSFW].
I looked at them, and — even taking into account that I'm way too slovenly and disinterested in expensive kinds of cheese to be gay — I was kind of meh. I don't know what I was expecting, but the media told me to expect a lot, and this was just some naked dude in a shower. And, ya know, I've seen Oz, so this wasn't anything new.
Any afficianados of naked dudes in showers care to weigh in?
Also, has anybody Twittered these to John McCain yet? I'm curious about what he thinks of his handywork.
