Plenty of seats were available at Thursday night's candidate forum.
Less than 30 people filled the audience chairs inside the Vigo County Public Library, and only nine of the 14 invited candidates for county council and commissioner came to introduce themselves and answer submitted questions.
League of Women Voters of Vigo County member and forum moderator Betty Martin expressed her disappointment after the event, which ended about half an hour earlier than initially scheduled.
"As always, I wish more people would take the opportunity they have to meet the candidates and ask questions that are pertinent to them, and get to know the candidates," Martin said.
None of the four Republican candidates for the Vigo County Council's at-large seat participated, nor did incumbent Democrat Mark Bird. At the event's 7 p.m. start time, Martin assured members of the audience that all had been invited regardless of party affiliation.
Vigo County Clerk Pat Mansard said she too was disappointed in the attendance.
"I want a thriving democracy where everybody counts. But you don't count if you don't register and you don't take advantage of the opportunities available to you," she said.
Still, county-wide turnout for the May 8 primary should be a little higher than normal given the intensity of a U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Richard Lugar and his challenger, state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, she predicted.
The race for the Democratic ticket's County Commissioner 2nd District introduced incumbent Judith A. Anderson and challenger Sean Patrick Feeney, both of whom expressed high hopes for the community.
To the question of what he would do concerning local job creation, Feeney said Vigo County has an "image problem" and needs to build upon the resources provided by local educational institutions such as Indiana State University and his alma mater, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
Anderson agreed that jobs are important, pointing out the recent announcement that between 200 and 300 will be coming to Vigo County at the former Pfizer site now owned by NantWorks. Bringing jobs, she said, is great. But keeping the jobs we have from leaving is equally important, if not more so.
Democrat candidates for county at-large Adam Azar, SaRetta Brown, Bill Bryan, Richard Burger, Curtis DeBaun, Ann O'Brien and Ed Ping were afforded introductory remarks as well as the opportunity to each answer questions submitted in writing from the crowd.
When asked if they would consider using new forms of taxation to offset revenue shortfalls created by property tax caps, each candidate pledged they would not, echoing one after another the idea that existing mechanisms need to be used, and revenues, tight as they are, must be managed best as possible.
Voters from each party will have the chance to select three candidates to run in the November general election for the county council at-large seat.
Thursday's forum was sponsored by the Vigo County League of Women Voters, the Vigo County Public Library and the Tribune-Star.

I need some advice on how to clean inside a vinatge Yamaha CR 2040 receiver that I bought some months ago and am just now getting around to cleaning. The receiver has a scratchy sound when turning volume knob, balance knob etc.
I was advised to use deoxit to clean inside.
However, when I went to a local Radio Shack, the rep told me to use compressed air first.
Is that correct?
Should I spray compressed air in the unit?
If so, where do I spray the compressed air?
Is it ok to spray the compressed air over all of the inside of unit?
Also, when using deoxit, do I just spray it on inside of knobs?
Radio Shack did not have deoxit but the rep told me the Radio Shack lubricant was the same as deoxit.
Is that true?
Thanks. I appreciate it.

GOP Moves Early to Define Hillary
Republicans seek to remind voters of Hillary's past and the days of Bill Clinton.
The Republicans are already building a case against Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate even though she has yet to announce whether she is running in 2016 and the first nominating caucuses and primaries are more than two years away.
GOP leaders are aware of Clinton's strong vote-getting potential and are very sensitive to the massive news coverage that her recent speeches have attracted. So they are trying to define her early and negatively as they remind voters and the media why Clinton was a flawed presidential candidate in 2008, when she lost the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama, and why she has caused so much controversy in the past.
[READ: Hillary Clinton Stirs Speculation About 2016]
The Republican National Committee has issued a four-page summary of anti-Clinton arguments, including excerpts from critical stories in the news media. They are contained in an email headlined, "Clinton's 2016 Pitfalls: Skepticism of Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Bid Builds While Clinton Controversies Begin to Swirl."
A spokeswoman for the RNC said, "Politico writes about Ciinton baggage that continues to haunt Hillary, from the Clinton Foundation to staffers in the news, and when you turn on your TV, Democratic strategists and political analysts are talking about their skepticism regarding her campaign strategy."
[OPINION: Jumping the Gun on 2016]
Among the examples cited by the RNC:
--An NBC News report that said, "Hillary Clinton's lofty status as the apparent 2016 Democratic nominee-in-waiting has some allies concerned that the hype might be too much, too soon. This seeming inevitability makes her more sensitive to attacks and risks amplifying any stumble, no matter how minor. And voters may react poorly to a candidate who appears to be waltzing to the nomination with minimal effort."
--Comments by Robert Gibbs, former White House press secretary for President Obama, who told NBC that he was "floored that she had decided to enter the public fray so quickly. ... Listen, if her campaign becomes an extension really of either her husband's term or the current president's term, it's not necessarily a good deal for her."
--A New York Times story that said Huma Abedin, a top aide to Clinton when she was secretary of state, was allowed to "take on work for private clients" while at the State Department. Abedin, who still advises Hillary Clinton, is also a controversial figure because she has stood by her husband, Anthony Weiner, as he runs for mayor of New York despite his sexual transgressions. This is a reminder to many of how Hillary Clinton stood by her husband Bill during investigations of his affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, which was the most mortifying episode of Bill Clinton's presidency.
[READ: What's With the Huma Abedin Backlash?]
--A New York Times story that Bill Clinton's private foundation has "become a sprawling concern, supervised by a rotating board of old Clinton hands, vulnerable to distraction and threatened by conflicts of interest." The Times said that the foundation's leaders are trying to improve its operation but added: "Now those efforts are taking on new urgency. In the coming weeks, the foundation, long Mr. Clinton's domain since its formation in 2001, will become the nerve center of Hillary Rodham Clinton's increasingly busy public life."
Some prominent Democrats, including some who worked for Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2008, say her biggest challenge, if she runs, will be to seem fresh and innovative and not overly tied to the past.
One of her senior advisers from 2008 told me that she is still "in the process of decompressing and readjusting to civilian life."
[BROWSE: Political Cartoons on the Democratic Party]
Still, he and other Clinton supporters argue that she would be in a commanding position if she got into the 2016 race. She has enormous name recognition, most Democrats think very highly of her, and she could raise huge amounts of money. And Clinton fans say she has moderated her image considerably since her polarizing eight years as first lady.
One reason is that she emerged as a centrist when she was a Democratic U.S. senator from New York, and she can no longer be easily branded a liberal zealot, her supporters say. Despite some setbacks and controversies, she also showed her work ethic and diplomatic skills as secretary of state during Obama's first term, adding to her international credentials and the sense that she is a leader in her own right.
"She is much more her own person," says the former Hillary Clinton aide. "When she ran in 2008 she was very much defined by her experience as first lady. And now she is defined by her experience as secretary of state. It's much more advantageous to be your own person."

Carolyn McClanahan, Contributor
I discuss all things money and medicine.
Health care and the Affordable Care Act are very complicated subjects with many moving parts. My goal is to bring simplicity and understanding of the health care system and the law to everyday people. With understanding the system and the problems, we can work together toward solutions.
Blogs make this challenging, as short posts are required that people digest very quickly. In breaking down the law, the overall picture can be lost in the weeds of each blog post. In addition, we have more people joining the conversation in bits and pieces.
To help the situation, I've created this post as a reference page for all my other posts. As I discuss topics, I will update and provide links in this article under the appropriate headings as listed below.
Clarity in our desired outcome is important to come up with workable solutions. As a country, we have not answered some very important questions. This set of articles deals with the big picture questions we need to answer to improve our health care system. Here are the questions, along with the links:
Should everyone have access to BASIC health care?
How much should taxpayers pay for health care?
What health care should we provide with taxpayers' money?
Over time, I will discuss each part of our health care system, and how the components are handled in the Affordable Care Act. There is no particular order for these topics, other than first covering topics of high importance and areas that have not received a lot of attention in the press. I will also take requests from readers as to what they want to read next. Remember, if it isn't linked, I haven't written about it yet, and I'll get to it. Here are the topics:
Obamacare in General
Insurance Costs
Critical care
Preventive care
Primary Care
Provider payment
Electronic health records
Patient choice
Insurance issues
Health care spending
Taxes and the ACA
Finally, I will occasionally deviate to other issues, still related to money and medicine, and in the overall scheme of things, also related to health care reform. And a list of those…
End of life issues – this is an area near and dear to me.
Chronic illness issues
Please feel free to suggest topics, as I most certainly left many out. This is a work in progress.
People want to fix the system, and we have a problem with "learned helplessness" – when we feel we have no control, we basically give up. I am concerned this is happening both in health care and politics in our country. Fortunately, there is a way out of learned helplessness. Shawn Achor, author of "The Happiness Advantage," calls it "finding the third way."
My big audacious goal is for us to find the third way in repairing our health care system. It will take education, good communication, and all of us working from a place of respect and desire to solve these problems. Please share this post with others and continue to share your ideas and feedback. If enough people come together, elected officials will be compelled to implement effective solutions. It can be done.
Stay tuned, and I look forward to comments on this blog so the conversation is shared with others. You can also reach me on Twitter @CarolynMcC or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Great goal.
As citizens trying to understand this "law", it is critical that we get information that we can understand.
The Obamacare Watcher reports on the length of the act and its regulations.
"…We calculate Obamacare regulations to contain 2,163,744 words…
Just how long is 2,163,744 words?
The epic novel "War and Peace" is only 560,000 words long.
By our count the King James Version of the Bible contains 830,314 words. That makes Obamacare regulations two and a half times as long as the Bible! If you add the text of the Obamacare statutes to its regulations, they are together three times as long as the Bible!
The average reader reads at a rate of 250 to 300 words per minute, but when reading detailed documents such as regulations the rate drops to 200 words per minute.
At 200 words per minute, the Obamacare Regulations would take 180 hours to read. That's seven and a half days of non-stop reading; it's four and a half 40-hour business weeks."
our political system have destroyed the rights of living healthy by ignoring our culture, heritage & history regarding healthy life, by discarding natural ways to get cured of early symptoms of the diseases. our previous generations used to rely on natural herbal products to get cured of numerous diseases & lots of rural people still realizes this, hence specially in the underdeveloped countries worldwide they rely on natural herbs, which have no real or little side-effects, hence we may call this practice harmless.
i would like tell you a true story on this very fact, i am from the family of rimals of Kalika Marg, Dilli Bazar, Kathmandu-32, Nepal. The elder brother of my grand father Narendra Nath Rimal was Shiv Nath Rimal who was educated in Varanasi, India as Ayurvedic Physician, he had been taught about Pulse Science which is the best mode of diagnosis system in Ayurveda mode of treatment and excelled in that diagnosis system in such a way that his curing ability was matchless, by this capability he was able to cure numerous diseases of the population at large. he used to rely not only on medication but also on diet therapy which plays a great role in ayurveda mode of treatment.
At that time we had autocratic rule of the Rana family & the prime minister was Juddha Samsher J. B. Rana who was suffering from some unknown disease, the Rana ruler had a good rapport with British Monarchs, so he requested the British govt. to send a british physician to cure him. But he could not diagnose the disease hence no medicine was prescribed & went back. So Shiv Nath Rimal was summoned in the palace to cure him. He simply diagnosed the disease as Ascites of the stomach by his pulse reading method & gave some Ayurvedic medication and was able to cure him. After he cured him we was awarded Royal Ayurvedic Physician & presented the most prestigious award Gorkha Dakchin Bahu 1st Class.
Let me tell you one more personal true story of his ability that my father told me, at that time i was 4 years old and i was suffering from acute diarrhea and treated first by my grand father Narendra Nath Rimal but the treatment didn't worked and then i was treated by a Physician Yagya Raj Joshi who also couldn't cure me, i was losing my weight rapidly and sinking . Then my grand father took me to his elder brother Shiv Nath Rimal who reading my pulse advised my grand father to feed me boiled rice with washed & boiled entrails (specially the washed intestines & stomach) of a goat. My family came back in disbelieve of the diagnosis and weren't happy about it but seeing my sinking situation opted for what he said with discontentment. But after a single diet therapy that he opted for the diarrhea stopped.
By these true stories i just want to let you know that, there is nothing to wary about the health-care world wide. There are and were many health related practices world wide, we just have to make sure by researching more on every form of medicines or mode of treatment that are available world-wide and give due recognition to them for better health. In this regard my organisation Arogya Bhawan Works which produces & has been doing clinical trails since its inception in 1925 would like to shed what ever is reqired through you or your organisation regarding Health care. My personal email id is firstname.lastname@example.com & my organisation email id is firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com.
Thanking you in your endeavour for writing & if you think I might be a help do contact me.
good to read it,thanks.
Carolyn, thanks for an interesting start in examining the ACA. When then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi uttered the comment "We need to pass this bill, so we know what's in it," few Americans clearly understood the scope and complexity of the ACA. Now we're beginning to see the devils lurking within its pages, including many taxes and expenses about which most Americans still know very little. For example,
1. In 2013, the ACA takes away part of many people's Flexible Spending Account (http://bit.ly/O9rTmh),
2. Small businesses lose flexibility in choosing health insurance deductibles, even though individuals and large companies do not (http://bit.ly/ROGd2X),
3. People can lose the premium assistance on which the ACA was sold after they have already used it (bit.ly/PBue6V), and finally
4. People might have to repay their premium assistance to the IRS as additional tax.
What a mess!
Thanks for pulling your articles together. I have some folks I will send a link to!
You guys out there are performing a great job.

KALKASKA — A Kalkaska man convicted of sex crimes against his stepdaughters likely will spend his remaining years behind bars.
A judge on Monday sentenced Jim Sarten, 51, to up to 100 years in prison. A 46th Circuit Court jury in May found him guilty of 16 counts of criminal sexual conduct after less than an hour of deliberation.
The victims — now 15 and 21 — testified Sarten abused them over several years. They came forward last year during a Michigan State Police investigation of a domestic violence incident involving Sarten.
Sarten was charged and found guilty of nine counts of first-degree, six counts of third-degree and one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. He will be eligible for parole in 62.5 years, if he lives that long.
Kalkaska County Prosecutor Mike Perreault said no length of time in prison was enough, considering the abuse against the victims, and he praised the sentence handed down by 46th Circuit Court Judge George Mertz.
"I think the way the sentence was crafted that both the judicial system and prosecutor's office aren't going to tolerate any type of sexual abuse," he said.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — An early morning fire destroyed one duplex, badly damaged its partner home and spread to another pair of duplexes at 3102, 3104, 3106 and 3108 Ridgecrest Court.
The fire apparently originated in the duplexes at 3106 and 3108, which are unoccupied right now, according to Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bailey.
The Norman Fire Department responded at 4:30 a.m. Thursday.
"Apparently nobody was home," Bailey said. "I think 3106 and 3108 are vacant and 3102 and 3104 are occupied but nobody was home."
Bailey said "3106 is pretty thoroughly burnt up. The garage is left, but the living area is gone."
Preliminary damage estimates are $250,000 total for both buildings — $200,000 for structures and $50,000 for contents.
"The structure to the north, 3102 and 3104, both are occupied, and that's where the contents loss came from," Bailey said.
The cause of the fire has not been determined at this time.
Bailey said people should follow precautions to avoid winter weather fires.
"Make sure your smoke detectors operate and have working batteries in them," Bailey said. "Check the age of your smoke detectors. If they're over 10 years old, they need to be replaced. Even if you push the button and it makes a sound, all that tells you is that the battery works."
If someone cannot afford a smoke detector and is elderly or on public assistance, they can call the fire department for assistance through a special smoke detector program.
"We don't provide smoke detectors for rental property," Bailey said, adding that the landlord is responsible for providing them.
Anyone using natural gas appliances — including hot water tanks, stoves, gas-powered fire places or heaters — should also purchase and install a carbon monoxide or CO detector. Those can be purchased at Walmart, Target, Lowe's, Home Depot or most hardware stores.
"Be cautious when using space heaters and follow the instructions provided with the space heater," Bailey said. "Keep them three feet away from any combustible materials."
Chimneys should be cleaned annually and fire screens used in front of fireplace fires.

It's the story tv news directors love to lead their show with, the story often on the front page of the local paper.
It's also the story we're comfortable ignoring. Yet the story, and the result, is probably already in many neighborhoods near us.
Murders in San Jose of young men, often attributed to gang violence, have increased dramatically in August.
According to the San Jose Police Department, 33 people have been murdered this year; at least 13 of them appear to be gang-related.
This week, that detailed how the San Jose violence is moving very close to the Campbell city limits. Said the police chief of Campbell, "Criminals obviously do not respect or care about jurisdictional boundaries or city borders."
In Santa Cruz, August 8 as he was apparently walking home from football practice.
In Watsonville, on August 18 when he was jumped by a group of five men; four chased him down as he fled and stabbed him multiple times. The group shouted gang slurs at the man as he ran.
The uptick in gang violence prompted a of our Los Gatos Patch.
Writer Enrique Flores describes himself as the founder of the nonprofit mentoring program Eastside Heroes, the director of the Corazon Project in East San Jose, and a policy aide for Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese.
Flores says we're not seeing a spike in gang violence. He says we're seeing "the start of the second war." "Once a war begins," says Flores, "it is almost impossible to stop."
The causes of gangs and gang violence are often debated. Flores mentions three specific ideas:
- Our younger generation has been desensitized to violence by the time they're in the second grade.
- Guns are now utilized more often as weapons of choice, thanks in part to the sale of toy guns that teach kids it's okay to play with guns.
- Our society's failure to create sufficient job opportunities and livable wages have created the conditions for self-destructive despair.
"Sadly, it is too late for prevention talk," says Flores. "Now is the time for relentless intervention efforts."
"Now, more than ever," says Flores, "is the time to restore hope. Now is the time to fight for more funding. Now is the time to declare war on poverty and despair. Now is the time to embrace all in kinship, and realize that those who we believe deserve love the least, are actually the ones that need it the most."
What do you think? Have you been touched by gang violence? Are there other solutions beyond what Flores suggests, perhaps more tangible solutions?
We've given you some ideas to vote for in our poll. But it's a tough issue, so let us know if you've got some other ideas in your comments.

A new theory is pouring some cold — actually, some really hot — water on the idea that Mars could have been habitable in the past.
Planetary scientists searching the Red Planet for places that could have contained the building blocks for life look for clues in clays, which can offer some indication that water must have flowed on or just under Mars' surface. But a new study suggests that, at least in some cases, those clays might be a red herring.

Solid Pitching, Hot Bats Lead Valpo Past Northwestern
Tuesday, April 17, 2007Six Valparaiso pitchers limited Northwestern to just three hits and Ryan Manthei (Kenosha, Wis./Tremper H.S.) had three hits and four RBIs for the Brown and Gold as the Crusaders defeated the Wildcats 10-1 on Tuesday afternoon in Evanston, Ill.
The victory was the second in as many years on the road against the Big Ten Wildcats.
The Crusaders struck first in their opening at bat. With two outs, Manthei singled through the right side to score Michael Arensdorff (Eldridge, Iowa/North Scott H.S.) from second base.
Northwestern appeared poised to score in the bottom half of the first, loading the bases with the first three hitters. Valpo starter Matt Evans (Brighton, Mich./Brighton H.S.) worked out of the jam though, getting a fielder's choice at the plate and a double play to get out of the inning without allowing a run.
Valpo added to its lead in each of the next two innings. Josh Piazza (Glenview, Ill./Notre Dame H.S.) singled home Manthei in the fourth inning to increase the lead to 2-0. In the fifth, Jeff Rickert (Hamilton, Ohio/Fairfield H.S.) led off with a single and Arensdorff reached after being hit by the pitch. Zach Rodeghero (New Lenox, Ill./Providence Catholic H.S.) drilled a double into the right-field corner to score Rickert. Two batters later, Manthei delivered his second homerun of the season, a deep blast over the left-centerfield wall. The three-run shot increased the Crusader advantage to 6-0.
The Crusader bats stayed hot in the seventh inning, as Valpo batted around to score four more runs. Arensdorff and Brian Rzepka (South Bend, Ind./Penn H.S.) both doubled, but Arensdorff had to hold at third. After Manthei was intentionally walked, Colin Reynolds (Crookston, Minn./Central H.S.) drew a bases loaded pass to force home a run. Mark Schoeck (Bellefountaine, Ohio/Bellefountaine H.S.) laced a single through the right side to drive home Rzepka and Manthei and Piazza capped off the Valpo scoring with his sacrifice fly.
Northwestern (9-21) finally found the scoreboard in the ninth on a Tony Vercelli double to left-center, the third hit of the game.
Evans earned his first collegiate victory, pitching the first three innings. Andrew Smith (0-1) suffered the loss for the Wildcats as the game's starter.
Arensdorff, Rodeghero, and Schoeck each tallied two hits in addition to Reynolds' three hit game, part of Valpo's 13-hit attack on the day.
Valparaiso (11-19) will return to Emory G. Bauer Field on Friday afternoon as the Crusaders open Mid-Continent Conference play against Centenary. First pitch in game one of the four-game weekend series is set for 3 p.m. The game can be heard live on WVUR (95.1-FM, Valparaiso) and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

Respect each other and don't give up.
It's a simple message, but one that rang loudly in the West Morris Central High School auditorium Wednesday morning.
Holocaust and Death March survivor Olga Menczer spoke to a packed house on Wednesday morning to share her experiences as part of the National Week of Respect.
"People are prejudice, and it's very important that you know that you need to accept each other as you are," she said. "Some people are as small as I am, some people are tall, black, white, yellow. But we are all the same, we are all human beings and we all have red blood."
Menczer began by talking about her childhood in Budapest, which was quite idyllic. "I was a happy child; I had friends, I had fun, everything was good and then I was a teenager," she said. "I learned to dance and I even had a boyfriend. But in March 1944, everything changed for the people; it was a different time for us, no more fun, just worry."
Menczer spoke about the Nazi persecution of not just Jews, but other races and religions considered "different."
"There was not only Jewish people there; they had Gypsies, they had homosexuals," Menczer said. "It was not only the Jews."
There were big changes, she said. All the Jews had to wear a Jewish yellow star on their clothes and they were put in Jewish housing. "We had to leave just about everything behind. We took some clothes, a blanket, a pillow, and we moved in with a different family; they had to share their home with total strangers," Menczer said.
"Even though we were allowed to go out on the street until five o'clock we didn't go out too much because we were frightened that we were going to get picked up," she added. "This happened because they didn't like us."
Menczer went on to talk about how she was separated from most of her family as the Jews were transferred by train to concentration camps in Germany. She spoke about the inhumane conditions–like having to strip naked in front of SS officers, sleeping on the floor without blankets or pillows and not having sanitary bathrooms–at the camps and the drastic injustices her people suffered.
"People were dying that looked like skeletons," she said. "We had very little food, sometimes we didn't eat. We had lice in all our clothes."
After a "fortnight" at the camps, "we were put together in a group and anybody that was able to walk was taken to the so-called Death March," the survivor said. "During the day we were marching on the side of the highway and at night we slept on the road. We had nothing–NOTHING–to eat and of course nothing to drink. Anybody who could not keep up was shot. Most of them just died of starvation."
But on May 6, 1945, Menczer's world changed once again. The war was over and she was sent home.
"It took many, many days to recover because we were so (malnourished)," she said. "Our first question was about our parents," Menczer added. "We were told our parents were alive. We were reunited again."
After returning home, Menczer said she lived in South America for many years, then came to the United States in 1958. For the last 10 years she has lived in New Jersey.
"So my message to you is, just as I have always hoped and prayed that I can survive to see my parents, it's important to never give up," she said. "I am talking to you and life is good, enjoy the time you have.
"Don't ever give up."

COLUMBIA, SC — The Five Points nightspot district, shaken a week ago by a random shooting that left a college student paralyzed, was quiet this weekend.
"We had no major incidents," Columbia police department spokeswoman Jennifer Timmons said Sunday.
"We had arrests, but they were typical," she said.
Typical arrests in Five Points, which draws thousands of young people on weekend nights include drinking-related arrests, disorderly conduct and public urination.
Last week, after the shooting that left University of South Carolina freshman Martha Childress paralyzed from the waist down, USC president Harris Pastides announced he no longer considers Five Points safe after midnight. Meanwhile, police, business leaders, citizens, university students and government officials are debating ways to make Five Points safer.
Childress, an innocent bystander, was waiting with a friend for a taxi cab at Five Points' signature Harden Street fountain to take them back to campus. The shooter, whom police say used a stolen Glock, was out of prison on probation.
Over the last three years, Five Points has been the scene of a string of violent crimes, incudling shootings, stabbings, arson and the random but severe beating of an 18-year-old, Carter Strange, by a group of young men.
The area is a prosperous boom district. Because of the large regular influx of students with money to spend, Five Points has its share of national and regional stories, including Starbucks, Walgreens, Copper Penny, Waffle House and Cookout. A number of local stores, several dozen bars, restaurants and night clubs round out the business profile.

I've finally come to terms with the School Year starting, LOL! (I was in major denial!) And now, with the cooler weather coming our way, I'm starting to think "Fall." Sigh. I can hardly believe summer is over.
Since I'm thinking "Fall," I'm starting to think about Apples. Those of you in Rochester are attending the this weekend, so you might have a few extra apples laying around!
Applesauce is SOOOO easy to make! It's also incredibly delicious when you make it on your own. Not only is it super tasty, but it's also far better for you than store bought applesauce. You get to control the sugar. If you don't want to add any sugar to your apples, don't! It will still be wonderful!
So, grab some apples, throw them in your crock, and wait for the magic to happen!
Slow Cooker Applesauce
5 lb. Apples (I used McIntosh because that's what my husband bought!)
1/4 cup water
2 tsp. Vanilla
3-4 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
1/4 cup or less of White Sugar (you can leave this out, or adjust for your family's needs)
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
Peel, core and slice all of your apples and place the slices into the Slow Cooker.
Add the water, lemon juice, vanilla, brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon to the Apples. Give it a quick stir. Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours. Mash with a Potato Smasher if you like your applesauce thinner and less chunky.

Happy Slow-Cooking!

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The nationally-ranked men's (3-1) and women's (5-2) Florida State swimming and diving teams fell to the top-five Florida squads on Saturday at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.
"It was tough to lose the women's meet by six points," head coach Frank Bradley said. "We were a few events away from pulling off the upset. We lost a few close races that we needed to win. Overall I think both teams fought hard and I like how we're setting up for the end of the season."
In past years, the matchup between the Seminoles and Gators has been severely slanted in Florida's favor, however after Saturday's contest, FSU has closed the gap over the past two seasons. In 2012, the ladies picked up their fourth win in school history 157-143, while the men lost 167-133. This season, the women fell to the fifth-ranked Gators 153-147, while the men dropped their meet to third-ranked UF, 180-118.
"Florida is such a great team," Bradley said. "They will always be tough to beat, but I think we've closed the gap on them. They swam well today and the difference was their depth. They're top-five for a reason."
In addition to diving, The 23rd-ranked women's team was dominant in the sprint races as Kaitlyn Dressel and Tiffany Oliver swam one-two punches in both the 50 free and 100 free events. Dressel was victorious in both, swimming times of 22.90 (50 free) and 50.49 (100 free) respectively, while Oliver was 23.14 and 50.84 taking second.
Leading wire-to-wire in the 500 free was sophomore Madison Jacobi, who touched with a time of 4:53.94.
Senior Julia Henkel made her move in the breast portion of the 400 IM in order to win the event with a time of 4:22. 38. Henkel's day also included a second place showing in the 200 fly, who posted a time of 2:03.22 finishing behind the winner Chelsie Britt (2:02.22). Henkel also led the Seminoles in the 200 free with a third place finish with a time of 1:50.68.
The diving portion of the meet took place on Thursday with the Seminoles taking first and second on both boards. Senior Kelsey Goodman was the winner on 1-meter with a score of 292.50, while her classmate Ariel Rittenhouse followed in second with a score of 288.97. Moving to 3-meter, redshirt junior Katrina Young led the event with a score of 298.95 edging out Goodman (295.20) who was second.
"I was happy with our performance," head diving coach Patrick Jeffrey said. "It was another solid outing for the ladies."
After Henkel's victory in the 400 IM, the Seminoles needed to take first and second place in the final event of the meet in order to win the meet, however FSU was first and third. The team of Tiffany Oliver, Kaitlyn Dressel, Laura Flewelling and Sami Pochowski won the race with a time of 1:32.97.
The 16th-ranked men's team was led by senior Pavel Sankovich, who performed two dominating wins in the 100 back and 100 fly events. Sankovich first swam a 47.33 in the 100 back before posting a season best time in the 100 fly with a mark of 46.49. His 100 fly race was the sixth fastest time in the NCAA this season.
Following Sankovich in the 100 fly was Connor Knight, who was second with a time of 47.96. Knight was also second in the 200 fly with a time of 1:47.60.
"Pavel and Connor swam well today," Bradley said. "I really like how those two are dominating the 100 fly. They're fun to watch."
Tom Neubacher was dominant on the boards as he won both events with scores of 351.75 on 1-meter and 342.60 from 3-meter. In 1-meter, the Seminoles dove a sweep with freshmen Dylan Grisell placing (281.93).
"Tom is such a competitor," Jeffrey said. "When he's locked in he's so tough to beat and that showed on Thursday."
Both teams return home for a meet against Florida Atlantic on Jan. 17 at 4 p.m. For more information on FSU swimming and diving, visit Facebook and Twitter.

I spotted Ken Nichols about the same time he spotted me. He was sitting at the end of the hotel bar, and when I started toward him, he grinned and raised what looked like a martini glass.
I took the stool beside him. He held out his hand, and I shook it.
"Glad you could make it, Brady," Ken said. "Jesus, it's good to see you. What's it been?"
"Ten years," I said. "At least."
He was wearing a pearl-colored button-down shirt under a pale blue linen jacket, with faded blue jeans and battered boat shoes.

Column by BRIAN WOODSON
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
There is a new culture of football at West Virginia. It begins on Saturday when the Mountaineers make their debut as a Big 12 school against Baylor.
"I'm pretty excited heading into conference play. Everybody has been waiting on this very moment," West Virginia wide receiver Stedman Bailey said. "Baylor is our first Big 12 opponent, and we just have to take it week by week. We're excited to play Baylor and kickoff the Big 12."
So is West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen, but he's trying to keep his team focused on the Bears, and only the Bears.
"We are not playing the Big 12, we are playing Baylor. We need to do a good job because they are a quality football team," Holgorsen said. "They have won nine games in a row....
"Our team needs to get to know Baylor, what their schemes are, what their players are and what we have to do to win the game on Saturday. Over the course of time, we will get more familiar with the Big 12."
After spending the last 21 years in the Big East, the Mountaineers paid big money (a $20 million exit fee) to leave a league nearly void of national respect and join the Big 12 for the 2012 campaign.
West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen recalled that as soon as the Mountaineers hammered Clemson 70-33 in the Orange Bowl last January, the discussion turned to the Big 12.
It actually started on Oct. 28 of last season on the eve of a game with Rutgers when the official announcement was made.
"It is going to be very festive from a West Virginia football standpoint, and also from a national standpoint. It has been a long time coming," Holgorsen said. "Eleven months ago, we made the announcement that we were going to go to the Big 12, and a lot of people wanted to get excited about it.
"I specifically remember that Friday, we were about to do our walk-through to play Rutgers, and it came across the TV that we were going to the Big 12 and everyone was excited about it but me. I was like, 'Geez, we've got to go play a football game here'."
"So we gathered the team out there on our Friday walk-through and we said at one point we are going to start talking about the Big 12. This is not the time that we are going to be talking about the Big 12, and we focused those guys and we went up and won a game at Rutgers."
Now comes the hard part. West Virginia is in the Big 12, and must compete in a league that is a combined 27-5 this season, with seven undefeated teams, six ranked in the top 25 and another three receiving votes for consideration in the AP poll.
"(Last) season ended, and then everyone wanted to start talking about the Big 12," said Holgorsen, who has been an assistant in the Big 12 at Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. "From a university standpoint and from an athletic department standpoint, that took place, which was incredibly important.
"We tried to just focus on our football team and what we needed to do to get better. We needed to recruit in the offseason, which I think we did a fantastic job."
West Virginia will celebrate homecoming on Saturday by playing an opponent they have never played in a league they have never played in. Holgorsen said the goal is the same as it was in the Big East, with the ultimate dream more of a possibility in the new league.
"Our goal in the beginning of the season, and I think this is the same goal for everyone that competes in college football, is to win the conference," Holgorsen said. "If you win your conference, especially the Big 12 conference, then you go to a BCS game and there is potential of playing for a national championship. This is step one in achieving that goal.
"It is conference time — each and every game is important. This is the one where we need to do what we have to do to win the game."
It doesn't get easier. Up next are 1,400 mile trips to Texas and Texas Tech, as the Mountaineers prepare to face nine schools that West Virginia has played a combined 13 times, compiling a 9-4 mark in those games, many of which are located in the football hotbed of Texas.
Holgorsen admits there is a difference between the players the Texas schools recruit and those that West Virginia gets to Morgantown. That will have to change as the years move on.
"The skill is good. Baylor has great skill. I have made reference to this from a recruiting standpoint — those guys have played football since they were in third grade," Holgorsen said. "They are playing a lot of football when they are in junior high. When you get them, they are probably more game ready from a skill standpoint, not from a talent standpoint...
"From a skill standpoint, I think there is a difference. Everybody is going to have skill and everybody is going to have guys that can run. Tavon Austin plays fast and is a great receiver, and there are guys out there that are just as fast as him. Baylor has got one."
Recruiting is more important than ever for the Mountaineers since more depth is needed to play the type of wide-open style preferred by many of its teams.
"The biggest difference is the amount of kids that play in those (Big 12) games compared to the Big East games," Holgorsen said. "You can go into a Big East game and plan on playing about 40 kids which happened last year and has happened here for a long time. That is hard to do when you are taking that many snaps.
"Baylor is averaging 90 snaps a game. Defensively, they are defending an average of 87-88 snaps a game. Last week, against Maryland, because of what their game plan was, we each got 67-68 snaps...
"I have been saying this for some time — this is the biggest difference in the Big 12 and the Big East..."
The Big 12 is the third football league West Virginia has been in since 1950, including the Southern Conference (1950-67) and the Big East (1991-2011), with the Mountaineers playing as an independent from 1968-1990.
Players like center Joe Madsen are eager to get started in the Big 12.
"I can't wait. It's a new experience, new game, new people," Madsen said. "I think we are going to go out there and play our best, and hopefully we have a good time and play our hearts out. It's a special thing. I hope we bring this conference a lot of great things."
Holgorsen understands the excitement for the Big 12, but is trying to get his team to focus on one game at a time. They will just have to do it against unfamiliar foes.
"I think over the course of time, West Virginia, our football team, and everyone else will get more familiar with the Big 12 and the Big 12 will get familiar with West Virginia," Holgorsen said. "But I think it is going to take games for that to happen. This Saturday marks the first game that this is going to happen, and we are excited about it and we are excited about the future of West Virginia football.
"From a coaches' and players' standpoint, we need to know our opponent. We need to make it a regular week, we need to ignore a bunch of outside distractions and we need to get our kids ready to play Baylor."

Peter J Reilly, Contributor
I focus on the tax issues of individuals, businesses & more
Alan Collinge, is back with another guest post on the student loan crisis. This one is on the forces that conspire to keep the problem getting worse.
For many years, it has been unknown to the general public that all of the major elements comprising the student lending system (i.e. lenders, collection companies, guarantors) made far more money when students defaulted on their loans. Nevertheless, this is a fact, and it is well documented. It is most disturbing, however, that recent analysis of the President's Budget data reveals that even the US Department of Education, on average, recovers $1.22 for every dollar paid out in default claims. Assuming generous collection costs, and even allowing for a nominal time value of money of a few percent (the governments cost of money is very low), it still appears that the federal government, even, is making a pretty penny from defaults.
How could this be possible? The primary reason for this is that unlike all other types of debt, bankruptcy protections, statutes of limitations, and other standard consumer protections have been removed from federal student loans, and draconian collection powers have been given to collect on hugely inflated, defaulted student loan debt.
The systemic consequences of these types of financial motivations are too numerous to describe here, but one very significant result is that during the legislative process, when the schools, lenders, and their lobbyists pressure Congress to raise the allowable loan limits, the Department of Education-one of the only entities available to act in the interest of the students and call for a freezing (or even a reduction in the lending limits)- has repeatedly failed to tell it like it is regarding defaults. The schools and lenders point and brag about the low "cohort" default rates, but this metric (which hit a low of about 4% in 2005) masks the true default rate, which we now know was likely 25% or higher for years, and today is likely significantly higher than that.
Instead of voicing concern, or even objections to Congress in the lending limit debates, the Department of Education remained largely silent, despite their knowledge about the true default rate for years, and in fact, press releases about the default rate spanning years from the Department of Education speak exclusively of the cohort rate, and this continues to this day, by and large, although media have shed some light on the true default rate in recent years.
This, again, is a key failure in oversight that effectively causes Congress to make decisions without the interests of the borrowers being represented (Of course the lenders and schools claim to have the interests of the students at heart, but their obvious financial motivations discount their credibility on this claim). Therefore, Congress continues to rubber-stamp these legislative efforts, and the schools quickly raise their tuition to bump up against the new lending ceilings.
If the Department of Education were seeing a material, financial loss with loan defaults, they likely would be far more assertive about the reasons NOT to raise the loan limits…and this would provide a critical check on the process. But the Department has been largely absent from these debates, and its misaligned interest is certainly the reason why.
So it must be agreed that lack of Department oversight contributes directly to repeated votes by Congress to raise the loan limits, and we've already established the link between this poor oversight, and the removal of consumer protections. So undoubtedly, the removal of standard consumer protections has effectively allowed the schools and lenders to have their way with Congress on this issue.
Critics could argue that the established student advocacy groups should have stepped in to fill this role…and this is obviously true…but the advocates can claim that they did not know that defaults were as high as they were (recent evidence suggests that the true default rate exceeds 1 in 3), therefore any objections from them (assuming they did object) were not strong. Had they known that defaults were as high as they were, one can only assume that they would have objected far more forcefully, starting many years ago.
The current debate surrounding the cause of tuition inflation is a confusing mix of rhetoric that typically involves fingers pointing in all directions…"like a scarecrow in the wind" …among lenders, schools, the Department of Education, the student advocates, and Congress. But of these five entities, four were behaving as expected (i.e. schools pushing for raising the limits, advocates wringing their hands in the absence of defensible proof that things were going awry, lenders playing their part as the selfish, amoral entities they are understood to be, Congress debating what they are told, and ultimately voting based upon this debate).
The Department of Education, however, failed to fulfill its role, and did not disclose to the group the true magnitude of the default problem, as one would expect it to. Therefore the Department is clearly the party whose behavior can ultimately be questioned with strong justification. Of course citizens have every right to be seethingly resentful and angered by all of these actors failing to point out what was obvious…that the students were being saddled with outrageous increases in student loan debt (I believe the advocates bear a tremendous amount of responsibility, for example), but strictly speaking, the Department's failure is the only one with zero defense.
This is a critical, unambiguous link that is never pointed out, but which is key- the key- to explaining the rampant inflation we have seen in academia over the years. Congress and the president should be demanding to know why key personnel at the Department so badly neglected to fulfill their duties, and take a hard, hard look at the corporate culture that has enabled this sort of gross neglect of basic functions. And of course, the standard consumer protections that should have never been removed from student loans must be returned at the earliest possible opportunity.

You can follow me on twitter @peterreillycpa.
A commenter has provided a handy graphic explanation of the system. Be sure to check it out.
So, colleges want to loan more to students so they can collect fees when they default? What other conspiracy theories do you subscribe to, Peter?
When is anyone going to put the student loan blame where it belongs? Families show up with their kids for their freshman year and have not saved one dime or spent one minute planning how to pay for it.
And how does this affect the price of college?
They do? So, you've taken polls and ran some stats? Yeah, thought so. Families do save and it STILL isn't enough. Every last one of my friends on college saved up to go and some even had scholarships in addition to savings. I had the GI Bill. College is getting to be too expensive because there is no FREE MARKET on student loans. You can't refinance. You can't file bankruptcy. You aren't given due process in a court of law if you default or are thought to have defaulted. If I could refinance I could cut my payment in half because I'm at an 8% interest rate but they won't let me. Do you know why? BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY! That's why they loan so much: THEY WANT YOU TO DEFAULT…GET A CLUE!
I get so sick of these uninformed and idiotic comments from malcontents who are as moronic as they are close-minded.
Brett: Not all people are like those you describe. It gets old. Try reading a book.
A few other items:
Alan: I watched Durbin's hearing today and it misses a few major topics. First, his hearing only seems to address private loans while implying that federal loans are somehow ok. They are not, as this article discusses.
Yep. I agree. To his credit, Durbin was way out front on this issue before it was one. But still, I have to call em as they are, and you are correct. He is trapped in this "private loans= bad", "federal loans = good" semantic that is almost embarrasing to watch. In fact, Federal loans are more dangerous in many ways, and no matter how you define them, have fewer consumer protections than private loans (repayment programs are NOT consumer protections, they are earned benefits, and untested, unproven at that).
This ain't going to fly for the federal loan debate, and the "good guys" had better lose this tired debate, and join the real one. If they are unwilling to do this, they'd better step aside because they are irrelevant, and as it stands are harming, not helping the students with this tortured excuse for an agenda.
Note also that Sallie Mae hasn't moved at all, and is still insisting on a prolonged "repayment period" that is not tolerable, and that is not a point that can be compromised without the legislation being meaningless. Same for the non-profit exemption. I haven't read all the testimony yet, but I doubt it was mentioned (and didn't hear it).
And in general, the entire debate failed to capture our argument for bankruptcy protections, which is incredibly strong (http://www.studentloanjustice.org/argument.htm . Instead, I saw only this "poor me, I can't breathe, please help" approach which is insulting to borrowers, particularly those who were targeted, hit, and badly harmed through little or no fault of their own. This has got to stop, and that depends on us establishing incontrovertibly the truth in this debate. Truth has a way of rising to the top, and once everyone sees it, will rule the day despite the distractions.
@Brett Powell ..What a facile and arrogant answer to a complicated issue. When I graduated with honors from UC Berkeley I NEVER imagined "showing up with my 4 kids for freshman year without a dime saved." Yet a corrupt and ineffectual family law court and a disbarred attorney ex husband managed to force us all into that position. That's what 4 kids, the worst economy in decades and 18 years of single parenting will do to ya. It would have been nice for my kids not to face life with a mountain of debt at age 21. Tell that to the courts that allowed my ex to steal the last dime we never spent. And think before you open your mouth !!
Tuition covers a relatively small percentage of the real costs of attending college. I'm not sure that pricing is entirely related to default structures of student loans. That said, there is Good news in the skyrocketing prices: people are becoming more savvy consumers. The more the industry is stripped of its romance and viewed as the commodity it is, the better it will be for everyone.
As an endnote:
Cohort default rate: The cohort default rate mentioned above was defined as the percentage of federal student loans that default in the fiscal year after the fiscal year in which they became payable. Link: http://www2.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/defaultmanagement/cdr.html
True default rate is the percentage of loans that default in any group of loans at any time.
Excellent article. Demand is not helping either. These kids need to know that they more they pursue college, the more the price will rise (while the value of a degree plummets). This is a mess that will end up in a major crash and everyone will say the same thing that they said during the housing bubble, hoocodanode?

Wacky Desserts by the Pastry All-Stars
Alex Stupak, wd-50: (Irish Coffee)
Replacing Sam Mason wasn't easy, but Stupak has lived up to his predecessor's legacy with creations like (Irish Coffee), a frozen coffee capsule with a whiskey-caramel center served with chicory sponge cake, hazelnut sorbet, and freeze-dried coconut milk. Says Stupak: "We try to push our ingredients and create new techniques so there's always a 'wow' factor "
Kate Zuckerman, Chanterelle: Meyer-lemon Chiboust with tangerine ice cream
Zuckerman is more of a classicist than Stupak and Will Goldfarb, but no less creative for that. Her baked-to-order Meyer-lemon soufflé is sweet and aromatic, like the lemons themselves, and served with coconut tapioca, fresh passion fruit, and a Meyer-lemon marmalade. Zuckerman garnishes the finished product with mint and lemon chips. "It's a winter dessert but still "light, refreshing, and very seasonal," she says.
Will Goldfarb, Room 4 Dessert: Pom Pom Yeahs 518
Goldfarb is pretty far out there, and this new dessert typifies his edgy craft: It's essentially a pomegranate mousse with a pomelo-and-pastis purée served with chestnut ice cream and a coconut powder. The 518? It's the first three digits of new assistant chef Pam Young's phone number. "So many people ask for her number we thought we should go ahead and give them a head start," says Robert Truitt , the man she is replacing. "They can try to get the rest of it, but they usually fail."

Fiona Apple gave a perfectly pitched and dramatic performance to a crowd of enthusiastic fans at The Capitol Theatre on Wednesday.
Slipping from low to high octaves and incorporating her signature falsettos, Apple mostly sang songs from her latest album, released June 19, "The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do." Apple's performance at The Cap is part of her 2012 tour that began this summer, and is the first she has held since her last album was released in 2005.
During Wednesday's performance she threw in three songs from that album, "Extraordinary Machine," and charmed the audience with her last song, a cover of Conway Twitty's 1950s "Only Make Believe."
During the performance Apple switched frequently between the piano and the standing mic. She also entertained the crowd during drum, bass and guitar solos as she held onto the side of the piano behind her and danced, unreserved, in the direction of the band. At one point she was crawling to the mic stand in the middle of the stage.
Twisting her face as she sang her songs, filled with ingenous lyrics, Apple's performance was raw, as was her look. She wore a simple black dress with high slits and a hint of sheen, purple stockings, seemingly no makeup and messy hair that she took up and down throughout the show. Apple certainly demonstrated the mysterious and dark demeanor she has been known for since her first hit single, "Criminal," was released in 1995, but she did crack a few smiles and thanked the crowd at the end of her performance.
Read more about Apple on The Capitol's website and in this candid interview with Billboard magazine.
Click through the photos above for a view of Fiona Apple's performance at The Capitol Theatre on Oct. 10, 2012.
