Nearly three dozen counts of forgery and related charges against a western Bedford County woman accused of stealing more than $11,000 from the Chestnut Ridge Parent Teacher Organization will go to the county court for trial.
In waiving her right to a preliminary hearing at Bedford County Central Court in Everett on Wednesday, Leanna Gottshall tearfully said she would spend 100 years on probation but
didn't want to go to jail because she has children.
State police said Gottshall pocketed funds earned by children, including $26 in cash raised by students selling pencils, and spent the money on personal expenses.
"We're not talking any deals. Right now I want to see how much she can come up with to make restitution to this organization," District Attorney William Higgins said.
Gottshall, 33, of Osterburg, was charged a week ago and is free on $75,000 unsecured bail.
Police said she took over as PTO treasurer in June and three months later was cashing checks she had made out to herself. Some of the checks included the forged signature of PTO President Kimberly Mickle.
The final check was written Feb. 15.
Mickle reported that she had started receiving letters from vendors who dealt with the PTO and were trying to collect their money, police said in a criminal complaint.
Mickle said that when she questioned Gottshall about money owed to Scholastic Book Fair, Gottshall said she had just mailed the check because she had misplaced it earlier. When questioned about a letter from a second vendor seeking payment, Gottshall told Mickle she had just sent the check, police said in the complaint.
Mickle said that when she reviewed the financial ledger kept by Gottshall, the figures did not add up. After contacting First Commonwealth Bank in Pleasantville, Mickle told police she learned the check had been made out to Gottshall and had been cashed.
Troopers said Gottshall has admitted taking the money.
Along with $11,075 obtained through personal checks, Gottshall is accused of taking cash that included $60 from a fundraising event, $168.53 from candy bar sales and $26 from the sale of pencils.

Lowjack Your Body with RunKeeper
This past summer, I went to a beach resort in Mexico with my wife. It made sense to get into a little better shape so as not to cause any beached-whale rumors while I soaked in the rays. Typical geek that I am, I wanted to track my every move so I could see how much exercise I really was doing. And, I wanted to do that with technology.
Thankfully, RunKeeper is available for Android. RunKeeper is an exercise-tracking app that uses GPS to track your exercise. Thanks to geographical information over GPS, RunKeeper will track your distance, pace, time and even elevation. The free version provides lots of awesome features, and its social features also can help keep you accountable. (Although your Twitter followers might get tired of hearing about your daily walks to the park.)
Several other exercise apps are available, so if RunKeeper isn't your cup of tea, just search for "exercise" in the Marketplace, and you'll find a plethora of options. Keep in mind, however, that GPS-based exercise-tracking programs aren't much good in the northern winters, when running moves indoors to a treadmill.
Get the RunKeeper Android app at http://www.runkeeper.com/android.

Thanks for the tip on RunKeeper -- I'll have to check it out. I do have a minor quibble with the following, however:
Keep in mind, however, that GPS-based exercise-tracking programs aren't much good in the northern winters, when running moves indoors to a treadmill.
Nah, not really. I live in a northern climate (Alaska) and I never use a treadmill. When the weather isn't good for running, I just swap my running shoes for cross-country skis ;)
Actually, interval training

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
While communities across the country search for land and collaborate to raise funds to purchase open space and parkland, we are fortunate in that we already own Northern Conomo Point (NCP).
At first, I was angry that our forefathers had put us in this difficult position of having to decide what to do with NCP after the 99-year leases expired. Yet, after giving extensions, and bridge leases, and stretching the decision-making process out for several more years beyond the end of those 99-year leases, our community is still undecided about what to do. The many tenant/landlord disagreements and legal issues have bogged us down so that we cannot visualize a clear solution.
Northern Conomo Point is our headland. The Essex River is our lifeline to the sea. The estuary is the birthplace of 75-90 percent of fish and crustaceans. The clam flats provide meaningful work for many and their harvest nourishes residents and tourists alike. This entire ecosystem is sensitive, special, timeless, and feeds our spiritual and physical needs for connection to nature.
We cannot afford to sell an inch of Northern Conomo Point! We need open space there for the people of today and for those who will live here in the future.
Until now, less than 5 percent of the people in Essex have enjoyed the privilege of being on NCP: these are our long-term tenants. What about the rest of us: the other 95 percent? How long do we need to wait to access our heritage?
I wish everyone in Essex – the next time you need to run out to pick up a gallon of milk or the daily paper – would take the five-minute drive from Route 133 out to NCP. When you get there, don't just drive around, park your car and get out and walk. Breathe in the sea air, take in the extensive water views, and really look all around you.
Imagine NCP without the buildings. Visualize NCP as an open space area where the possibilities for recreation and relaxation are limited only by your imagination — as an open space park for all of the people of Essex. It can become real if that's what we want. Buildings are temporary; the land and sea are permanent.
When we decide that a natural environment at NCP is what the people of Essex want, we will achieve it. Anything is possible if we are united!
The tenants of NCP want the status quo. They are united in their drive to continue to live there because they know what they have enjoyed for so long. Why would anyone want to leave such a beautiful headland? Why shouldn't we, now, take back our heritage? Northern Conomo Point was there long before the simple summer cottages were erected, and NCP can become a natural place again. A place where we can all recharge our batteries.
Let's not waste time arguing about what The Point should be. Each of us has ideas of what she/he wants to have in an open space area. The main decision right now is to never sell land at NCP and, might I add, to stop leasing all property there when the present bridge lease expire.
Why am I suggesting this when you hear the Board of Selectmen (BOS) and the Conomo Point Planning Committee (CPPC) tell you how much money we can make by continuing to lease – for more and more years? Here's my reasoning:
If we do not sell any land, we will not have angry tenants who will ask why one tenant could buy land, when another one could not (with never-ending lawsuits).
If we do not continue to lease, we will finally be able to access our town property, and begin removing structures, and plan what we want to do with this special open space.
Yes, we will not have the lease money from the tenants if we quit being landlords there, but we will also spare ourselves a great deal of expense and frustration. Demands will be put on us by the Department of Environmental Protection (septic systems). If we continue to lease, we will be the landlord responsible for the 90 bedrooms out there, including all infrastructure expenses, as well as costs of maintaining these structures, providing water, increased police protection, and so much more that we can't even imagine right now. The money we think we will earn will quickly evaporate as the costs to build new systems and maintain this property will soon strip us of any earnings!
The sale of properties at Southern Conomo Point and Robbins Island will provide us with millions of dollars. We do not need to continue to lease NCP, too.
In 1999, the people of Essex clearly voted to not sell any land at Northern Conomo Point. Let us not look backward, but rather stay with our good judgment and move forward towards creating an open space park on the entire NCP. This will be a place of enjoyment and beauty for everyone forever.
Please join me in saying "no" to selling or continuing to lease the land at NCP. These resources belong to the common wealth of our community!

Cellar/Tasting Notes A rich wine…black fruit and spice aromas, backed up by woody and smoky notes. Powerful. The beautiful structure and big rich aromas are the proof of good cellaring potential.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Pommard Monopoly Premier Cru Clos de la Commaraine is a rich wine, typical of Pommard: masculine, deep, very aromatic.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Nuits St. Georges is a dark garnet color. The nose unveils woody, fruity and spicy scents. The palate is made up of velvety and silky tannins with beautiful balance, characterizing this wine by finesse, charm, and elegance.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Gevrey Chambertin has a brilliant dark ruby colour. The expressive and complex nose has aromas of red fruits with woody notes. The same aromas are also evident on the palate which are well enveloped by delicately blended tannins.
This Gevrey Chambertin is perfectly balanced..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Chambolle Musigny shows as a deeply coloured wine which develops red berries fruits - and undergrowth aromas when older. Though it is full bodied, this delicate wine has a silky finish.

Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Vosne Romanée is a full bodied and well-balanced red wine. It has a strong violet and cherry nose. With its ruby colour, it is a mild and delicate wine.
It will pair perfect with roasts, game, red meat (in sauce) and most cheeses.

How can Clos Vougeot VV be $59.95???
Simple – this is a village-level Vougeot, made outside the 'Clos", a Vougeot, but not a Clos Vougeot - and it's an astounding bargain.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Marchand's 2007 Morey-St.-Denis Clos des Ormes displays similarly bright red raspberry fruit with floral and herbal overtones to its 2008 counterpart. It comes to the palate slightly richer and denser and with intriguing, black tea-like smokiness, but lacks quite the clarity or nearly ethereal..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A very pure nose of wet stone, spice and an elegant mix of various wild red berries. There is good richness to the mouth coating flavors that possess excellent volume and surprisingly good power, all wrapped in a mineral-driven finish that delivers excellent length.

SOUTHPORT — The dawn winds were quiet, the surface of Wildlife Creek slick as a whisker. Captain Butch Foster launched his 19-foot Carolina Skiff from an N.C. Wildlife Commission boat ramp. His son, Chris Foster, warmed the engine while Butch parked the pickup and boat trailer. Then the fishing duo skimmed away, into the sunrise.
We found a place where the speckled trout are thick as flies, said Butch, a 62-year-old charter captain from Southport. We must have caught and released a hundred.
During the warmer months, the Fosters run Yeah Right Charters. Their big boat is large enough to catch Gulf Stream species such as wahoo and tuna as well as offshore bottom fish. But, in winter, they fish for fun.
Speckled trout are among the most highly sought inshore saltwater game fish, especially in winter when most other species of fish have high-tailed it for warmer climes. The waters of the Cape Fear River teem with all manner of fish. But when the winter chills the sea water temperatures, anglers head to the marshes and creeks near the river mouth, where the fish concentrate to take advantage of the higher salinity, warmer temperatures and more abundant prey than occur farther upstream.
Speckled trout can be anywhere or nowhere, Butch Foster said. We find them by trolling in the channels. The best time to look for trout is at low tide, when the oyster beds, sandbars and mud flats are exposed. If you go during the high tide, you might run aground or find yourself stranded when the tide falls.
The anglers conferred about the best place to enter the mouth of one of the myriad creeks that all looked the same. They picked a route between an island and the bank, but they chose the wrong side.
Im glad I have a stainless steel prop, Butch Foster said. Oyster shells wont damage it like they will an aluminum prop. If you fish for specks, sooner or later you will run the boat aground.
After running another quarter-mile upstream, Chris Foster took a position at the bow. Butch Foster slowed the motor speed while the anchor swung in Chris hands like a pendulum. When he reached a certain spot, Butch nodded his head and Chris dropped the anchor with a splash accompanied by the rattling of the lead chain.
They were right here, yesterday, said Chris Foster, 28, of Southport, who works as an electrical technician at nuclear power plants when he is not helping his father run charters. But that doesnt mean they will be here today. Speckled trout are the original here-today-gone-tomorrow fish. But they have got to be here somewhere in this creek because when the water is this low, there are not many places they can go to hide. Low water concentrates the shrimp, crabs and minnows that trout eat. When the tide is high, they fan out all through the marsh and into the grass where they are so scattered, you will be lucky to find one, never mind getting it to strike.
Butch Foster rigged an ultralight spinning rig with a red, quarter-ounce jig head. Then he threaded a twisty-tailed grub body onto the jigs hook.
This color is smoke/metal flake, he said. Its what they bit yesterday so maybe they will bite it today. We are a little bit earlier in the tide so it may take a while for the specks to start pecking.
Chris Foster used a light spinning rig spooled with 8-pound test monofilament. The heavier rig was necessary because he was casting an oblong-shaped lure that created more drag in the water than the lighter jig-n-grub Butch was casting.
This is a MirrOlure 17MR, which is a suspending twitch bait, Chris Foster said. You cast it, reel it, then pause it. A trout will follow it and when the lure pauses, he thinks its an injured minnow so he runs right on top of it. He cant stand missing an easy meal and eats it.
Both anglers cast and retrieved their lures, with the handles of their reels moving agonizingly slow when compared to a bass angler working a swimbait or crankbait. At first, nothing happened. Then came a strike that resulted in a speckled trout wriggling in the landing net. The strikes increased as the tide fell. Then the bite tapered off.
We need to move because the fish have moved, Butch Foster said. Chris, pull up the anchor and we find them again.
The creek forked, leaving two choices for the anglers to follow. They chose the left fork because the water appeared to be deeper.
Chris Foster soon hooked another speckled trout. Butch kept running the boat against the strong pull of the current while Chris caught another six specks. Then they dropped anchor and began catching trout on nearly every cast.
They arent big fish and you have to sort through a lot of them for a four-fish limit of 14-inch keepers, Butch Foster said. But even catching the little ones is a lot more fun than staying at the house, watching a football game. Id rather chill out, out here, than in front of the TV.

Kathleen Sebelius Explains Being a Pro-Choice Pro-Lifer
The Kansas governor and health and human services secretary nominee on her abortion position
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
Pro-life groups have come out in force against health and human services secretary nominee Kathleen Sebelius over her pro-choice record. But Sebelius, the Roman Catholic governor of Kansas, has talked publicly about being a pro-choice pro-lifer. Here's an excerpt from her 2006 address at the Kansans for Faithful Citizenship conference, in which she discussed abortion more than any other issue:
Of course, no discussion of life and dignity of the human person can be complete without discussing the important issue of abortion.
My Catholic faith teaches me that all life is sacred, and personally I believe abortion is wrong. However, I disagree with the suggestion that criminalizing women and their doctors is an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the number of abortions in our nation.
There is another way. By working in support of the common good we can better protect human life and the dignity of all people.
If we work hard and match our rhetoric with our actions, we can create a culture that is more welcoming of mothers and treasuring of our children. We must redouble our efforts on prevention and personal responsibility. We must stand with women who feel so alone that abortion seems like their only choice. These women need people to walk with them, not cast stones at them.
A recent study found the abortion rate in Kansas declines as employment opportunities, access to health care and support networks for women and children increase. By supporting our children with quality schools, increasing access to affordable health care for expectant mothers and their babies, creating jobs that pay fair wages and creating additional incentives for adoption, we are moving in the right direction.
I'm proud that the abortion rate has declined 11% in Kansas during the last three and half years. Of course, more needs to be done.
If we truly wish to reduce the number of abortions further, we need to work together to truly promote a culture of life, by helping women and families get the support they need when facing unexpected pregnancies and to continue to reduce the number of abortions. Health care, child care, job opportunities, affordable housing—they are all the building blocks of a culture of life and we can use them to build a future where abortion is extremely rare.

Pics: Aava Mobile's Moorsetown MeeGo Phone (and Android)
We've seen this Finnish phone before running Moblin and a Qt Interface to demo a possible MeeGo UI (or at least a reference design). We saw it most recently demonstrating the new MeeGo handset UX on video. Chippy, aka Steve Paine of CarryPad has it for the next 48 hours!
This is Aava Mobile (also Finnish, but not Nokia), a phone on Intel's X86 chip (Moorsetown). It's not the first Moorsetown phone, that goes to the cancelled LG W990. (Note, Aava's site only mentions Android for some reason)
Nokia's first MeeGo Phone will be using, like the majority of smartphones currently, an ARM based processor. Future MeeGo Phones from Nokia may have Intel chips in future but until Nokia are satisfied with performance/battery life/size they'll be sticking with ARM.
Here's Android on it
this explains why in the MeeGo demo it had android like buttons – as it seemed designed for Android.

hmmm. intel is smart. he's playing on both sides. if meego doesn't work we will have android.
Nice device and the UI seems pretty cool but I expect better
Another Finnish phone that will not be seen in the US. Too bad because it does look good.
Looking gooooooooood

The state Senate plans to vote on a pension bill on Thursday, September 15, that would significantly cut benefits for future employees, requiring them to work longer for smaller pensions. The MTA opposes this bill.
All Massachusetts public employees pay the vast majority of their own pension costs, with new teachers paying more than 90 percent. Massachusetts public employees do not receive Social Security, saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
Under the Senate bill, some employees would be paying more than 100 percent of the costs of their own pension benefits. The changes are unjustified and unfair.
Please send an e-mail NOW urging your senator to vote "no" on the pension bill.

New Technology: Robust Cogeneration Unit Suits Home and Light Commercial ApplicationsYanmar's new microCHP will offer unique solution for builders and contractors.
Combined heat and power (CHP) engines, which produce electricity and use recovered heat for generating hot water or air, were once available only as large systems to be used in large commercial buildings. Increasingly, though, engine companies are manufacturing "micro" systems for use in homes and smaller commercial buildings. These cogeneration units are known as microCHP systems and run on propane or natural gas.
Regular readers of the Propane Energy Update will recall our coverage of the ecopower microCHP system by Marathon (January 2011 PEU), sized for home use only. A more recent entrythe CP10WN-SPBby Yanmar America Corp. offers higher output, producing up to 10 kilowatts of electrical output compared to ecopower's 4.5 kilowatts. The CP10WN-SPB is rated 88 percent efficient and produces 66,000 Btu of thermal energy. It is expected to be commercially available later this year.
While the CP10WN-SPB is new to the United States, a version of it has been used in Japan and other Asian countries for more than 13 years, says George Woodcock, Manager, Energy System Division, of Yanmar America Corp.
"We've made some slight modifications to it to meet the U.S. market and get EPA certification," says Woodcock, adding that it also has a UL 2200 listing for generator use. This means that it has been UL tested at a high level, an important consideration for municipalities and owners of commercial buildings.
MicroCHP systems use an internal combustion engine, most efficiently fueled by propane, to generate heat and turn a small internal electrical generator that produces electricity. All engines produce heat, but a microCHP system captures it and transfers it to a conventional central-air blower for space heating or to a water supply and delivery pipes for use by various appliances and plumbing fixtures.
The Yanmar unit has off-grid capabilities; contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gasses; offers net metering where available; and is the quietest in its class (54 decibels at 3.3 feet). It only needs servicing after 10,000 hours of continuous use, "which means 13 months and three weeks of 'no touch' for the customer," says Woodcock.
The unit is designed for larger homes and commercial establishments "that require both electrical output and hot water, such as nursing homes and Laundromats," says Woodcock. "Plus, any entity that needs a reliable power source such as police and fire stations.
"Cogeneration is old technology," Woodcock adds. "What's new is applying it on a small scale. We've got customers who want that."
Check out the New Technology area of this site to learn more about CHP systems. And stay tuned for an online training course about CHP systems, currently in development and scheduled to be available later this year at the Propane Training Academy.

I made this cake one time as written, and of course it was great - it was nothing but fat and fruit! WOW! So, knowing how many calories I could save, I made some modifications, and this is now one of my most-requested recipes. My modifications: Instead of 3 cups all-purpose flour, I use 1 cup whole wheat flour and 2 cups AP. I use 1.5 cups white sugar instead of the full 2 cups. I use 1 1/4 cups unsweetened applesauce in place of ALL of the oil. I use 3/4 cup of eggbeaters in place of the eggs. I increase the chopped apples to 4 cups. I omit the nuts. I make the topping as written, but serve it as a sauce on the side rather than dumping it on top. That seems like a lot of changes, but it's really a fabulous cake that CAN BE less awful for you!! :-)
I like spice in my apple cake so I added a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon. I used tart green Granny Smith apples. Make sure to mix the flour and the oil mixture well before adding apples and nuts. That should stop the problem of "crumbling" that some people are experiencing. I baked this in a 9X13 stoneware baking pan. It came out moist and stayed that way for days. I used dark brown sugar in the topping and added 1/8 tsp of salt in the glaze to make the tongue more receptive to all the flavors (a baker's trick). Be prepared to have trouble putting the fork down!! This is habit forming!
Good cake, though I made some modifications. I reduced the oil to 3/4 cup and added 1/2 cup of applesauce. I also added a sprinkle of nutmeg and a tsp of cinnamon. (Next time I'll add more nutmeg and cinnamon) I beat the eggs and oil together before adding them to the dry ingredients. I was sure to mix the batter thoroughly. The consistency was not dense but moist and light. Personally, I prefer a dense cake but since I was making this for co-workers I wanted the cake to be more cake-like. Most of my co-workers like fluffy cakes. I highly recommend this recipe.

A U.S. judge in Johnstown has sentenced two area men to federal prison, one for firearm and drug violations and the other for a firearm violation.
Michael N. Cooper, 33, of the 100 block of Fairfield Avenue in Johnstown's Morrellville neighborhood, was ordered by U.S. District Judge Kim R. Gibson to serve 10 years in prison and three years on supervised release for violating federal narcotics and firearms laws, said U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton.
According to information presented to the court, on June 2, 16 and 21, 2011, Cooper distributed less than 100 grams of heroin. On June 23, 2011, he possessed with intent to distribute less than 100 grams of heroin and was found in possession of a rifle and a shotgun.
Cooper had been convicted on June 26, 2012, in Cambria County of delivery of a controlled substance, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.
Federal law prohibits people who have been convicted of a crime punishable by an imprisonment exceeding one year from possessing firearms or ammunition.
Umar Shablis Abdul-Ghaffaar, 25, of the 1100 block of Main Street in Franklin, was sentenced by Gibson to 21 months in prison and three years of supervised release on his conviction for violating federal firearms laws, Hickton said.
According to information presented to the court, Abdul-Ghaffaar possessed a .32-caliber revolver on May 19. He had been convicted on Feb. 16, 2006, in Cambria County for carrying a firearm without a license, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie L. Haines prosecuted the case.
Hickton commended the Laurel Highlands office of the FBI, Cambria County Drug Task Force and Johnstown police for the investigation that led to Cooper's prosecution, and the FBI and city police for the investigation of Abdul-Ghaffaar.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Kenmore West's Quinton Campbell is 6-foot-7 and is the type of player opposing teams usually need to double team down low. But his performance Friday at rival Kenmore East should serve as warning for upcoming opponents: don't leave him open from beyond the arc, either.
Campbell nailed four 3-pointers — including three in a momentum-swinging, third-quarter surge — on his way to a game-high 20 points that lifted the Blue Devils to a convincing, 64-47 win, exactly two weeks since they needed overtime to beat East in the Ken-Ton Winter Classic.
"There's a dirty secret," West coach Mike Meetze said after the game with a smirk. "He's either my best 3-point shooter or my second-best in practice. He probably has the best form. I don't let him play him there because people will look at me like 'Why do you have a 6-7 kid on the perimeter?' But he can do that. And we might have to do that a little more. He was feeling it in transition tonight and you can tell when he gets that big smile, things are going to happen."
It looked like anyone's game at halftime. East jumped out to a 10-2 lead and was ahead most of the way before West took its first lead on a Noah Whalen 3-pointer with less than a minute to go in the half. It was only a three-point game at the break, with West up 30-27.
But the Blue Devils dominated the third quarter. They opened with 10 straight points and just kept scoring and scoring, eventually making it a 24-1 run spanning most of the quarter.
The Bulldogs' first field goal after halftime came with four seconds left in the third quarter.
"We came out firing quick in the first half, which is good and it gave us momentum, but it was tough to get the momentum back in the second [half] and it just killed us," Ken East senior guard John Becker said. "When you come out as hard as we did today sometimes it's hard to match that energy in the second, too."
For Campbell, the first half was unsatisfactory. He knew he needed to give his team more and he stayed cool in the clutch.
"I don't really feel pressure. I don't really want to put myself on a pedestal but I feel like when it's time to step up, I come to play," Campbell said. "We did what we were supposed to on defense and easy shots came to us. It all comes from hard work. That's what we preach."
After a first half that dragged along with free throw after free throw, the pace of the second half was much faster. West got steals and scored in bunches. And it was Campbell, of course, who capped the run with great individual play.
After making an acrobatic move for a layup, West got the ball right back and sent it to Campbell for a 3. Next time up the floor was more of the same: another shot Campbell stroked from behind the arc.
When it was said and done, West had all but demoralized East and led 54-32 after three quarters.
"I told them when we came out, we're going helter-skelter," Meetze said. "And they all laughed, but I said yeah, we need to get this game ugly and up-tempo because we don't want to play against their zone."
East led throughout the first half and had a chance to break it open when West's starters got into foul trouble. But the Blue Devils' bench stepped up to close the gap. Whalen was effective and was West's leading scoring at halftime with 10 points.
"Not only did the bench guys close [the gap], we were up by three at halftime," Meetze said. "It could have been bad if we were down eight or 10 like the way we started. That's where I gave the credit."
Pat Schroeder led East with 13 points while Mike Crawford and Deion Brown had eight. Whalen finished with 14 for West and Terell Ford had nine.
West is now 2-0 against East this year, including a 51-46 overtime win exactly two weeks earlier. The schools meet for the final time this year on Feb. 8.

Iraqi Refugees
Posted by Bruce Robinson in Santa Rosa , politics , peace , news , justice , Ideas , government , families , events , education , author , arts , activism
One of the untold stories of the war in Iraq is the millions of refugees who have fled their country, with no idea what their future may hold.
Kathy Kelly describes a typical refugee camp home for an Iraqi family in Syria.
Speaking at at the Oddfellows Hall, 545 Pacific Avenue in Santa Rosa, on Wednesday, September 24th at 7 pm, renowned activist Kathy Kelly (center) reports on her recent visit with Iraqi refugees in Amman, Jordan. Highlights of her trip include learning about nonviolence groups operating in Iraq and the efforts of Americans to support these and other Iraqis as they struggle to build a productive and peaceful future. Reflecting on her participation in a peace walk from Chicago to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Kathy will also talk about "war and memory," drawing parallels with collective resistance to other wars, and reminding us of our connections across regions, national boundaries, and generations. The event is being hosted by the Peace and Justice Center of Sonoma County.
David Smith-Ferri, Kathy's friend and author of Battlefield Without Borders, will open with a reading of new poems.
The huge number of displaced people, and the shortage of resources to aid them is creating a social disaster that Kelly says will take a generation or longer to repair.
Kelly has visited Iraq 24 times, and she continues to share her experience and vast knowledge on the economical and living situation for the people of Iraq. To see more about her previous presentations, click here.

I write about how CEOs lead midsized businesses.
Just after hearing former Governor Romney's concession speech and President Obama's acceptance speech last week, I received a "funny" e-mail with the Democratic side of an ethnic group placing curses on the Republican side. I didn't find it funny at all. But it did remind me of the need for leaders in all walks of life to win and lose battles with grace – if they want the respect of their teams and their broader community even after the battle has ended.
Both President Obama and Mitt Romney delivered speeches that showed high respect for one another after a hugely antagonistic presidential election campaign. They both pledged to support the decision of the majority. Of course, they both thanked those who helped them win. They both reminded us that we are one nation, one community of people; that we will hurt our common cause if we continue to be a divided people.
CEOs and business leaders at all levels must learn this critical lesson. We lead teams in competitive situations in business as well as politics. Sometimes companies battle and at other times executives within a company are at odds. Leaders must heal their teams after the battle is finished until the community reunites as one camp and one team.
In politics, this is a tall order. However, in business it is both possible and essential. The communities of business—individual companies, industries and geographical regions—are small relative to our nation. But our careers and the lives of our companies are long. If we let bad blood remain, it will cost us dearly in the future.
As a CEO for 22 years, I acquired four competitors. To integrate each one successfully, I had to make sure their top teams perceived their new firm favorably – a firm that was once a competitor. This work was done in the years before the acquisitions, where despite being competitors, we kept the intensity of rivalry in check. We worked together in industry associations for the common good of the industry. We viewed the relationship as much greater than winning or losing a single bid.
Within industries and politics, players change sides. Spirited and crucial debates rage within companies from time to time. Yet once the leader of a company makes a decision, everyone must pull together as one and leave the disagreements behind.
Leaders must decide a few fundamental questions when thinking about any clash between companies:
1. Do you care about limiting the level of animosity between the combatants over time? Perhaps Coke and Pepsi will never need to collaborate, and the fewer connections among executives between the firms, the better. Yet with firms like Apple Apple and Samsung, with so many different products and technologies, can we say with certainty that they'll never need to collaborate anywhere? I doubt it.
2. How divisive will you allow a clash to become? Re-establishing diplomatic relations after a very divisive battle will be more difficult, and in some cases is impossible. CEOs can settle disputes or debates sooner, or later, unlike political contests where Election Day always marks the end. CEOs can give up on lost causes quickly or fight on to the bitter end. Companies dominating the battle for market share can offer a conciliatory gesture to losing competitors, allowing them to save face. Or it can crush them, Donald Trump style.
3. What process will the two camps use to heal after the battle is over? A leader's speech is only a starting point. Whether it is finding a new "common enemy" as a tool to bring the camps together, or a series of carefully orchestrated efforts to find compromise on key issues, it may take as long to normalize relations as it did to fight the battle that divided it.
Most business leaders I know have their partisan opinions. But they all want to see our government come together to make rational decisions so the nation can move forward. The fiscal cliff is just one issue that jumps to mind. Nevertheless, we CEOs must realize that in our own offices, our own companies, and our own industries we lead battles that can become highly divisive and destructive. We must urge our teams to offer contrary opinions that respect each other's views and objectives. And when the internal battles end, we must bring the camps back together for their own benefit and the benefit of the companies we lead.

I wish that best practices evolved to prevent politics in the workplace. I am the CEO of a tech company in San Francisco that has both overtly staunch Democrats alongside overtly staunch Republicans. I think we got through the election ok, meaning that nobody fought prior to the election and nobody seems to be a sore loser nor a gloating winner. However, I fear we are lucky more than professional. Does anybody else think that politics should be unwelcome in the workplace as a matter of policy?
If an organization can foster a mood of open and honest communication over issues, and an acceptance of a diversity of opinions on work-related issues, this atmosphere and approach can extend to apply to political concerns as well. Laying a solid foundation on non-divisive issues is the critical first step.
I work in an unusual setting, a Waldorf school, with several overlapping governance bodies. A conventional board of directors is responsible for the legal and economic well-being of the school, but the school's overall pedagogical direction is in the hands of a large group of experienced teachers of the school, who meet weekly and make decisions by consensus. Many other groups of teachers from different departments and sections also meet weekly to make decisions that affect their individual areas of responsibility. These overlapping circles of responsibility consistently require us to find agreement between people with varying opinions. If there are sharp disagreements, it is up to us to cut to the chase and discover a common footing.
If one starts with the conviction that there is common ground, one always finds it. If one starts with the conviction that there is polarization, one tends to find this.
I have used the following exercise to develop this awareness and approach within our and other organizations:
I ask the group about a controversial topic where the group appears polarized. I note each person's opinion on a display board, placing very polarized views opposite one another and related views near one another. Invariably many "shades of grey" become apparent, and the final form generally looks like a circle with relatively small gaps between adjacent views. Everyone has near neighbors with whom they agree, but these also have near neighbors that extend the area of "local agreement" further, and so on, right around the circle: continuity rather than polarity. It is actually quite hard to continue to believe that one side is absolutely right, the other wrong, in the face of this continuity.
I often give the following image: if each of them stood around any object whatsoever — a tree, for example — and drew what they saw, the tree would be truly represented in all those views. Indeed, only an understanding of the tree that included all possible views, from every perspective, would fully represent the truth of the tree.
This and similar exercises to build mutual respect and understanding can help a great deal; of course, the leaders of the organization tend to set the tone, and their commitments will affect and often determine whether the organization can develop in this direction.
Great suggestions.
I completely concur that avoiding the most personally felt topics is critical until mutual trust and significant competence at open communication has been developed.
Let's hope that a meaningful compromise in the short-term leads to sustained long-term success for the country…and for each of our companies.
I have been disgusted for a long while with the idea of red and blue states and the nastiness of campaigns. We are NOT the red and blue states of America. We are the United States of America, seriously damaged by people who want to take extreme stands on issues. Some of the same people who behave so badly are able to reach out and help people without considering politics when something like Sandy hits. Does it have to take disasters to remind people that we are all Americans? United we stand; divided we fall.

A Windsor Township woman says she was defending herself from a beating when her boyfriend was stabbed in the abdomen with a butcher knife late last week, according to the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Office.
The victim, a 44-year-old Windsor man, was treated at the scene and then transported to UH Geauga Medical Center, deputies said. His condition was not immediately available Monday.
Deputies found the 33-year-old woman, who fled the scene, the following day at St. Joseph Health Center in Andover, where she was seeking treatment for an elbow injury. She told deputies the man beat her and the stabbing occurred while she was defending herself, deputies said.
Around 1 p.m. Friday, deputies were dispatched to a Noble Road apartment in response to a 911 emergency call. Upon arrival, deputies found the victim being treated by emergency medical personnel. A large amount of blood was found throughout the apartment, deputies said.
While the victim was unable to provide much information because of his condition, deputies learned the man was stabbed during an argument that became violent. A neighbor told deputies she heard the victim screaming for someone to call 911. The woman left in a blue Ford van, deputies said.
One day later, deputies learned the suspect was seeking treatment at St. Joseph. The woman told deputies she was arguing with the man when he began to punch her in the head, and then struck her with a microphone stand. She grabbed a knife, and during the fight the man "fell" on the blade, the woman told deputies.
A doctor at the medical center told deputies the woman suffered a fractured elbow.

"Ok... Yup!! My kinda of Erotica!!!"
This is the kind of erotica I like. Great smexing with great story line throw in. I loved it. Yes this is erotica not romantic novel... Let me say this again... Erotica not romantic novel; however, that being said... this is sooo good that you forget that it's erotica because the story is great. It is set in a post apocalyptic time when the world is separated into the clean techno Eden and ruff and gruff gang style like sectors. The daughter of one of the Eden leaders get thrown out into the sectors for liking smex and ends up in one the toughest sector gangs. Like I said, yes there is great smex scene and plenty of them however, there is just enough and not enough to make sure there is a great story. I loved it.
Narration was great too. Malone did a great job.
A good credit for those romantic novel lovers and a good buy for those erotica lovers.
I am literally hanging on every single word of these books! I love them... This is one interesting story... and every single volume throws something new at you.. I loved it.. This is dark romance... and I mean dark... When Lilly peeks through the window, OMG! I was so pissed at Stoneheart...why does he need Lilly if he's got dizzy lil secretary...
Woah! Just Woah!
Narration was great... This is such a buy book.. don't waste a credit on this, as it so cheap... But if it was more expensive then yes.. Credit, Buy or Sale.
"Not as good as book 1, but a keeper!"
This was so not on the same level as book 1, but it was still a great book. I like it... The smexy time was good...but like I said, not on the same level as book 1. This story is like 2yrs later from book 1, and the (h) is a lawyer being blackmailed by her boss after he tried to seduce her. In comes Jake or the (H)... and when these two get back together... of course sparks begin to fly. We get gym action, and whole lot of conversation...but it's still missing that something.. that book 1 had.. I hope book 3 raises the bar back up!
Narration was good... actually if the narration wasn't as good as it was... I think this book would have been a book 2 filler flop!
Good credit or sale.. Maybe not a buy...
This book deserves a slow clap****** to a full standing O!
What a way to end one hell of a series! I loved this book... Ok... we all know Ali... she is a Nightingale... so O'course Ali is gonna be a badass! I simply love the way Ashely writes a book. I totally felt Ali's frustration from her family and friends, especially her brothers... I have two big brothers, that I look up too, but they are so darn overprotective. I get it! This book was simply awesome.
And REN!!! I loved Ren... he was flushed out so much... I felt like I knew him personally. From Ren's lust over Ava to bam... Ren and Ali... I loved it. I liked how Ren was totally cool and calm, until he wasn't! Ren turned out to be a good bad guy! Loved it...
Narration was awesome.
This is a definite credit or sale, especially if you have books 1-7... A buy if you don't have a credit but must complete this series. This is pricey but well worth it...
This was actually my least favorite of the series... I just didn't like Sadie... I understood her, but c'mon, after a while she could have let the b*tchy attitude go and just gave in, to Hector and the Rock Chick girls.
I mean I got it... she grew up in a criminal organization, and had to have that tough exterior... but IDK.. I just didn't like Sadie...
Hector... was a bit gruff and rougher than Eddie... which totally worked for him... So... thumbs up to Hector...
Narration, again.. was awesome...
Great credit or sale.. Only buy if you have invested into the rest of the series... as this is a really pricey book, but well worth it.
"Awesome Book!"
This was one awesome book! Action packed with a deep storyline... Great smexy time. I totally love the fact that Shawn didn't have his memories in the beginning... It was such a well worthy listen.
I totally like the narrator too. This was my first time listening to Karen White, but Wow.. her male voices were superb! There were so many different male characters, and she used a different voice for each one.. I loved it...
Great credit, as this book is kinda pricey.. Good sale... maybe not a buy, unless you plan to invest into the complete series.
This was so good...loved the fact that we get a book per Maddox brother! Instant download!
This was Trenton story ... The brother we got to know so well fom beautiful disaster... I love how McGuire had Travis and Abby's story going on at the same time...in the background... Extremely well written!
But.... the ending... now that was the OMG moment... when we finally learn about T.J. I was like Omg, OMG!!!!
Narration was good..story was awesome, so worth a credit, buy, and sale!
I totally like books 1 and 2 way better.. but this was still good. Glad to see all the characters from books 1 and 2 back, and but... seriously... Bobbie was made to seem so unattractive one minute then... poof, she was drop dead gorgeous to Gabe the next... It kinda threw me off...but that was my only issue with this book.. In fact... the story was spot on... best friends becoming lovers... Now Gabe's twin brother's book... O yea... I am so there!
Totally credit or sale.. Not worth a buy... unless you are totally invested into this series.. I would wait for a credit...
Eyre was perfection!
"Sweet! Truly Rockness!"
I have to say.. this is now my favorite book in the series... Stella is all famous and sh*t! YES!!! That is what you call a tru ROCK CHICK! But hands down... Mace stole this book! OMG... Mace's back story was so damn good... I just simply can't think of how Ashely is going to out do herself... Then the Daddy issues.. OMG!!! And the ending.. NO WAY!!!!
I loved this book! I hope Ashely does another set of Rock Chick books, with Mace's crew... that would be sweet!
Totally credit or sale if you are following the Rock Chicks! If your not.. How dare you!
"Good Ava.... Evil Ava.... ?"
Funny... I loved that poor Ava started out a fatty... who was determine to turn into a hot chick the very next time Luke Stark see her... and boy did she.. but storming into the Nightingale Headquarters.. well not the best idea there... It was totally bad Ava telling her to do that!
This book really redeems Luke...because I was seriously pissed at him for moving in on Vance's woman.
He was totally forgiven when he went apocalyptic after he found out what happen to Ava..Now that is how a Hot Bunch Man is suppose to react...
I loved it... Great Great continuation... I loved this series soo much.. Nice smexy time too!
Fave in series so far..
Great credit or sale.. Buy is expensive...but worth it...
Narration was good too
Awesome continuation of the Rock Chicks! I loved Law aka Jules.... and I loved how this tiny little super model chick... was busting caps and splashing cooking oil on bad guys cars... but then hitting the streets and flipping on their backs! Law serious didn't deserve the tough street credit she got..but what was great about this book... is how she actually was nicer than all the other Rock Chicks, but has the toughest reputation... Loved it..
Plus Law's two run away kids, Rome and Stitch... really stole this book.. Especially Rome...
Vance.. IDK... I really didn't like him all that much.. he was just... IDK.. I just didn't think he was all Hot Bunch... Plus he let Luke slide in on his action.. What! So... I still got my issues with Vance..
Great story... great action.. and the ending OMG!
Great credit or sale.. Expensive buy, but worth it!

Summa Health System is trying to boost its ability to battle cancer by expanding its radiation oncology services in the region.
The health system recently recruited a doctor with national research expertise from University Hospitals in Cleveland to serve as medical director of radiation oncology at Summa Akron City Hospital.
Dr. Charles Kunos, who grew up in Stow, joined Summa this month to lead radiation oncology services at City Hospital. He previously served as director of gynecologic, pediatric and musculoskeletal radiation at UH.
"I'm returning to my local roots and coming to serve the oncology community in the Akron area," he said.
Kunos brings to Akron his experience serving on committees for the National Cancer Institute.
He also plans to continue leading several national research studies in Akron, including a clinical trial for a drug that preliminary tests have shown could increase cervical cancer cure rates from 70 percent to 96 percent.
Continued recruitment of doctors who bring expertise to the region is a key to the health system's growth strategy, Thomas J. Strauss, Summa's president and chief executive, said in a recent interview.
Dr. Susan M. Hong, a radiation oncologist who had been based at the Summa Health Center at Lake Medina outpatient facility in Medina County, has been appointed medical director of radiation oncology for the health system, effective this month.
Hong previously worked at University Hospitals, where she was a colleague with Kunos. She's also a Northeast Ohio native and earned her medical degree from what is now the Northeast Ohio Medical University in Rootstown.
Both doctors are employed by Summa Physicians Inc., the health system's physician practice.
"A number of patients are under the misconception that they have to travel an hour north to receive their care," Hong said. "It's important for our neighbors in the Akron community to understand that expert care is available with state-of-the-art technology right in their backyard."
The health system offers radiation treatments at Akron City and Barberton hospitals, as well as in its outpatient facility in Medina County.
As part of the staffing changes, City Hospital's former chief of radiation oncology, Dr. William Demas, has relocated his office to the Parkview Center on the Summa Barberton Hospital campus, Summa spokeswoman Jennifer Farquhar said. Demas and his partner, who are part of a local independent radiation oncology practice, will continue to treat patients at Barberton.
Summa is opting to staff its radiation oncology program with doctors who are employed by the health system, Farquhar said. Five Summa-employed specialists will be on staff by August.
"The end result is an increased number of physicians on staff and more access points for patients," she said. "It's making the best use of the specialists that we can in the community."
Demas declined to comment about the change.
Dr. Desiree Doncals, another radiation oncologist who was based at City Hospital, has joined Summa Physicians Inc. and relocated to the Summa Health Center at Lake Medina, Farquhar said.
Rise in radiation therapy
According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, demand for radiation therapy is expected to outpace the availability of specialists in the coming years.
Between 2010 and 2020, the number of patients receiving radiation therapy during their initial treatment course for cancer is expected to increase from 470,000 to 575,000 per year — a 22 percent increase, the study found. During that same period, the number of radiation oncologists is expected to increase only 2 percent.
Summa treats about 2,000 patients for cancer each year. Hong estimates 60 to 70 percent of them undergo radiation at some point in their treatment course.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation from X-rays, gamma rays or charged particles to shrink and kill cancer cells. The radiation can be delivered from a machine outside the body, through radioactive materials placed in the body near the cancer tumor or through radioactive substances that travel in the blood.
Hi-tech competition
The field is increasingly competitive, with cross-town rival Akron General Health System also taking steps in recent years to enhance its radiation oncology capabilities.
Last year, Akron General Health System acquired a $5 million Leskell Gamma Knife Perfexion unit, which uses precise beams of radiation instead of an actual knife to target and destroy brain tumors and other cranial disorders while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
Summa has the Novalis System by Brainlab, which provides what is known as stereotactic radiosurgery. The system delivers a concentrated, shaped radiation beam to target brain tumors precisely, as well as malignancies in other parts of the body.
Kunos said he plans to expand Summa's use of the Novalis system to treat more patients with cancer, particularly those with gynecological cancers.
"Over the next few years," he said, "we're trying to enhance patient access to Summa oncology services."

City to hold fair housing/civil rights summit April 24
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Human Relations Division of the City Manager's Office is celebrating National Fair Housing Month with a fair housing/civil rights summit on April 24. The event, which begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 220 W. 43rd St., is open to the public, but reservations are required by April 20. The theme for the event is "Protecting Civil Rights in a Time of Economic Crisis."
The Civil Rights Section of the City's Human Relations Division is partnering with the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to sponsor the event, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is underwriting the summit.
"It is important to ensure that even during difficult economic times, citizens' civil rights are still protected," said Mickey Dean, manager of the Civil Rights Division. "Sometimes during extraordinary circumstances people think that civil rights requirements may be circumvented. For example, with all of the dollars flowing as a result of the economic stimulus and foreclosure prevention, we have to be sure that people who are traditionally left out get their fair share."
Mayor Mark Funkhouser, City Manager Wayne A. Cauthen and City Councilmember Sharon Sanders Brooks are scheduled speakers, and councilmembers Beth Gottstein, Cindy Circo and Terry Riley plan to attend.
Hilary Shelton, director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Washington D.C. bureau is the keynote speaker for the event. Shelton will speak at 10 a.m. The summit also includes other speakers and workshops during the afternoon session.
The summit also will feature:
- Nikitra Bailey – vice president of External Affairs for the Center for Responsible Leading in Durham, N.C. Bailey has done extensive research and writing on the impact of predatory lending.
- Cokethea Hill – community organizer for Mayor Mark Funkhouser's New Tools Initiative and board member of the Kansas City, Missouri School District.
Workshops during the event include: Avoiding Fair Housing Violations in Real Estate Transactions; Foreclosure: What You Don't Know Might Hurt You; New Developments in Discrimination Law; and Ex-Offenders as a Protected Category Under Kansas City's Civil Rights Laws. A complementary lunch will be provided.
Reservations for the summit should be sent to Shelion Durant at (816) 513-1812 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
