DERRY — The Upper Room, a Family Resource Center, is hosting a food drive all during the month of February.
The food collection will help stock the Upper Room's food pantry and help local families in need by offering nutritious options.
The Upper Room's pantry is open weekly.
More than 120 families are fed each month by the Upper Room's food pantry. The agency has seen an increase in the need for additional donations.
"We always see a surge in generous donations around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, but contributions quickly taper off with the beginning of the new year," Upper Room executive director Kimberly Bavaro said. "Given that hunger is a year-round concern for many families, we are working to make sure we have an adequate supply to address their needs."
Items needed to stock the pantry include pasta, sauce, cereal, peanut butter, tuna, beans, macaroni and cheese, and ready-to-make dinners.
The Upper Room will accept donations from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily at the Tsienneto Road facility. A marked donation box will be located in the agency's back entrance vestibule.
The food drive is part of the Upper Room's monthly donation drive in 2013. Every month a new category items needed will be collected from school supplies to program snacks and personal care items.

NORD and Advocacy Partners Submit Amicus Brief
On January 11, 2012, NORD submitted an Amicus Curiae or 'Friends of the Court' brief in support of upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, (health care reform), along with thirteen other national patient advocacy organizations, including Friends of Cancer Research, the March of Dimes Foundation, and others. The brief maintains that the minimum coverage provision of the Affordable Care Act lies broadly within Congress' constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce. The brief also supports that minimum coverage is essential to allow for a functional health care marketplace that offers protections for persons with pre-existing conditions. These protections include guaranteed issue, limitations to denial of benefits, and ending both annual and lifetime caps on benefits.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, or health care reform, contains an important provision that bars issuers of health insurers from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions by refusing them participation in the health care coverage marketplace. Until health care reform was enacted into law, health insurance companies could freely cherry pick the healthiest people in a given state's insurance market, denying eligibility to participate to people with pre-existing conditions, including many with rare diseases. Patients faced a Hobson's choice between foregoing care at their own risk, or paying for care out of pocket, often at such high costs as to deplete whatever resources the family has as they seek to care for themselves and their loved ones.
Thankfully the Affordable Care Act has rightly fixed this problem that existed in the health care marketplace . However, as you may know, the ultimate fate of this important legislation and the progress it has accomplished is still uncertain. The Affordable Care Act remains under threat of judicial overturn, with a decision from the Supreme Court expected this spring.
NORD is proud to join the other thirteen organizations in submitting this amicus brief in support of all people with pre-existing conditions in the United States, many of whom having rare diseases. Read the brief.

Toyota Prius Lease Questions
According to the numbers on the current $199 per month offer, the residual on a Prius II is 72% for 36m / 12000 miles. Can anyone confirm that this is the case across all the Prius range? From this board, I can see someone got offered 70% on 36m /15000 miles.
My local dealer is insisting on 63% and no reduction from sticker price. I want to get a confirmation on the residual before trying to get deals from other, more far-flung dealers.
bodid Posts: 87Carman,
How are you? Glad to see you're still giving advice because I need some. Looking for MF and residuals for a 2010 Prius V / 12K / 3yr. lease. Also looking same way for the Hyundai Tucson LTD 4WD. Seems that Toyota is eager to deal as I was walking by a Toyota showroom and a salesperson literally dragged me in. I see that current lease deals for the Prius are good till 4/5. Does Toyota's MF change on the 6th of the month or earlier? I was hoping you could shed light if you think Toyota will discount deeper as we get into March, April.
civhybrid07 Posts: 9Cluedweasel - Thanks for the input and I was expecting the 70% residual based on working the math backwards on the advertised lease on buyatoyota.com, however the dealerships around me in NJ seems to be confused as they have all provided different residuals, so my thinking is that the high residual may only apply to the base model and not the Prius 3 through 5.
Hopefully the edmunds moderator can chime in here to clarify the Prius lease program for March before it goes away.
The best offer so far is around $300/month with $1300 due at signing for the Prius III with the solar sunroof package. That's OK, but certainly not a really special deal.
The guys at Santa Monica Toyota quoted me this today:
Prius 2
Msrp 23,550
Residual 16,400 (69.6%)
How hard can I hit them?
The national advertisement out now is 229 month, w/ 879 due.
That's $9,123 for 36 months, well over the $7,150 depreciation of a non haggled price.
I'm thinking of walking if they don't give me 22,500. What i'm curious about is how much interest/moneyfactor I should allow them. I have perfect credit and don't think they should be able to ask for jack down.
22500 - 16400 = 6100 / 36 = 170 before tax or mf.
I think I can get 200/month (Tax incl), nothing down, 36 months.
Am I crazy?
Also, there is another major Toyota dealer 5 miles away. So i can play them off each other.
Are you crazy? No. Can you do much better? Maybe. Unless the NTHSB comes out and really "Datelines" Toyota with some hard hitting investigative reports as to what is wrong with these Toyotas, I would say about $200 or maybe $300 under invoice is the absolute bottom price on a base Package II, FOR NOW. I am currently $150 under invoice in my negotiations and have asked via email for $300. Should get a reply tomorrow.
All the negative press lately has really opened up the lease deals for these Toyotas. Normally their lease rates are the absolute worst in the industry (around 7-8%.) The Prius is currently 1.8%. Nice! I have always laughed at leasing from Toyota. Sale price of OVER MSRP and high lease rate used to equal = $400 a month for a BASE Prius, no thanks. You could have bought one for less than leasing in the past. Now with the current lease rates and their willingness to sell at under sticker price, it actually makes sense to lease. I'm hoping to get $220 a month on a 12,000 mile 36 month lease.
This is what happens when demand is low and supply is high. My local dealer has 54 Prius II. I am thinking about waiting and hoping for a rebate AND the low lease rate. I wonder if they will cut a hole in the floorboard for me so I can "Fred Flintstone" it when it accelerates out of control? Baaarrrrnnnneeeeyyy! No brakes!
I believe Toyota Financial is the only leasing company of all the major car manufacturers that does not inlcude GAP insurance for free. GMAC, FORD, Subaru, Nissan, I know for a fact do. Toyota, to my knowledge, makes you pay additional money for GAP.
Maybe if they get desperate enough for sales, due to all of the recent turmoil, they will go ahead and include it like everyone else. Yet another reason why Toyota's lease program has historically been ridiculous in comparison to other brands. Might as well charge you an extra $50 a month for your cup holders while they are at it.
sw1024 Posts: 6Carman/moderators,
Could you please give me the numbers for a Prius IV w/NAV & Solar--12,000 miles/36 months in Southern California?
I have been told that the current MF is .00075. There seems to be some confusion out there regarding residuals though. Any info you have would be appreciated.
I am with you. I want to get $200/month with nothing down otherwise I am walking. Anything more just don't make sense. Toyota is crazy. Especially Santa Monica. they keep saying they are # 1 in the nation but their offer is not the best in the nation.
If you can get a better offer somewhere else, can you let me know too? thanks much!
Have I been talking with you on Priuschat, ick?
I leased the other day. Picked up a III (JBL & Blue tooth, no nav) for 215 before tax, 236 after. 680 drive off for 1st month and DMV fees.
Found a good deal at Toyota Manhattan Beach and took it to Toyota Marina Del Rey and told them to beat it by 10 bucks a month or I'd walk. They refused. I got up to leave and they caved.
Not the 200 I wanted, but at 23195 purchase price, Truecar.com says I got it at 500 below invoice. I was frickin proud, I'll tell you.

Thread: Silverado 1500 end links needed
Silverado 1500 end links needed
Hi, I need new sway bar end links on my 2001 1500 4x4 x-cab. The exterior sleeves on both links are rotted out. I went to look for replacement end links online, and found several, but they detailed a sway bar of 1.42", which is not even close to mine (measured to be 1.14" diameter with a digital micrometer). The end links I looked up were specifically for my truck/eng/cab/4x4, but my sway bar is not the same. Do any of you know what the "1.42" is referring to, or where to get end links for my truck? The ones I found online referenced GM part number 7-1168.
Did a search on our site, but could not find answers.
your sway bar rod 1.14 in dia is slightly over 1-1/8inch .. auto zone has the parts. I would replace the end links and the sway bar bushings all at the same time.
how does your vehicle have rusted links in las vegas ? my rust belt 2000 does not have these issues.
Hey, j,
Thanks for the answer. I deal with autozone a lot, and got some of the info from their site. I wanted to confirm the bar size before i bought. i will go there today and see what they have.
coincidentally....my truck spent it's first 11+ years in Mass. It has rust throughout the undercarriage. Some on the rocker panels. I am slowly cleaning off rust and repainting where it does not affect operation, and replacing parts that are rusting through. I've mentioned earlier that I think the truck was greatly neglected after the first owner sold it. After I remove the end links, I will post a pic of the rusted sleeve...pretty much not even there. Replacing the front hubs and tie rods was a real workout with everything rust-welded in place. Used a lot of PB and penetrating oils.
11 yrs of use up here in MA is the reason its rusted out. I battle the rust every year in the fall going over the vehicle coating all the rust on the frame and any I find on the body.
last year I had to do the rear crossmember over the rear of the fuel tank it rusted out 1/3 of the frame tube was left. directly over the fuel tank rear. the only body rust was the rocker panel at the rear of the cab. what I found was GM did not put any drain holes on the panel at the end . when I cut off the rusted metal you could see the water line like on a boat.
I usually put some oil on those stabilizer pins to keep the rust down .
I have had to do this on many other vehicles that the pins and bushings are in need of replacement . with the new bar bushings it should handle better. AZ says 1-3/16 in which should be correct.

By Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. fiscal policy is on an "unsustainable course" and the government must adjust its tax and spending programs or risk a crisis, Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Thomas Hoenig said Tuesday.
"The U.S. government must make adjustments in its spending and tax programs," Hoenig said in remarks prepared for delivery at a conference about the budget.
"It is that simple. If pre-emptive corrective action is not taken regarding the fiscal outlook, then the United States risks precipitating its own next crisis," said Hoenig. Read Hoenig's speech.
News Hub: Bayh's Exit Leaves Senate in Play
Democratic Indiana senator Evan Bayh announced that he would not be seeking re-election, which shocked his party as it wrestles with health care reform. The News Hub panel discusses the implications for Washington.
Hoenig also said the current outlook for fiscal policy poses a threat to the Fed's ability to achieve price stability and long-term growth.
It's therefore a threat to the Fed's independence, Hoenig said.
"In time, significant and permanent fiscal reforms must occur in the United States," said Hoenig. "I much prefer this be done well before anyone feels an irresistible impulse to knock on this central bank's door."
A government faced with rising debt levels must come up with a credible long-term plan to reestablish fiscal balance, Hoenig said.
That plan must be seen as fair, said Hoenig, and those who put it in place must be wiling to disappoint special interests.
"It means, for example, controlling budget earmarks, trimming subsidies to numerous economic sectors, and resolving our banking problems and the perception that Wall Street is favored over Main Street, all of which would otherwise foster mistrust and cynicism among the public," said Hoenig.
Hoening spoke a little more than two weeks after President Barack Obama sent Congress a $3.8 trillion budget blueprint for fiscal year 2011. Obama's plan forecasts a record $1.6 trillion deficit in fiscal 2010, but sees the deficit declining to $1.3 trillion in fiscal 2011.
Obama wants to set up a commission to study ways to slash the federal deficit.
Hoening cited Congressional Budget Office projections showing the debt reaching two to five times the total national income within the next 50 years. He said that leads to an "inescapable conclusion" -- that "U.S. fiscal policy must focus on reducing this debt buildup and its consequences."
Hoenig grabbed attention late last month when he was the lone dissenter from the latest statement about the economy from the Federal Reserve. He called on the Fed to scrap its language to keep rates low for an extended period. But he didn't demand an immediate rate hike to end the central bank's zero interest rate policy. It was the first dissent in a year. Read more about Fed meeting.
Meanwhile, the new president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis said Tuesday that the U.S. economic recovery is likely to be slow, and the jobless rate is likely to stay above 8% by the end of next year.
The threat of regulatory changes from Washington is holding down growth, said Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota in a speech to a banking group in St. Paul, Minn. Read more about Kocherlakota's speech.

Star Beacon
CONNEAUT — A fight between inmates over the weekend sparked an incident at the Lake Erie Correctional Institution that put the prison in lockdown status, the prison reports.
One inmate was injured and taken to a hospital during fights that sprang up in two of the prison dormitories, according to a statement issued by the prison. No corrections officers were hurt, officials said.
On Monday, inmates were on "restricted movement" status, meaning they are escorted wherever they go, John Tanner, LaECI public information officer, said in an email. "Things are almost back to normal operations," he said.
A fight involving inmates was reported at 11:16 p.m. Friday in one of the inmate dorms, Tanner said in the statement he issued Sunday. It was stopped by officers who used "non-lethal force to quell the fighting and quickly gain control," Tanner said.
Several minutes later, another fight began in a different dorm that was stopped by officers, the statement shows. Officers also tussled with inmates as staff was identifying the participants in the fights, Tanner said in the statement.
As per protocol, the prison contacted the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections and the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Tanner said.
"Facility management and staff are working closely with department officials to review the incidents," Tanner said in the statement. "Further details about the cause of these fights and the total number of participants are pending the outcome of said review."
On Monday, Tanner — via email — said a window broken during the incident was quickly replaced. "There was minor damage done that night," he said in the message.
Sources indicate the injured inmate may have suffered a broken leg. Conneaut Fire Chief Steve Lee, after checking records, said Monday his ambulance crews were not summoned to the prison and did not transport the inmate.
Conneaut Police Chief Charles Burlingham said Monday his department was contacted about the incident Saturday afternoon by prison staff. Burlingham said he understood the brawl may have been gang-related and that as many as 20 inmates may have been removed from the LaECI and transferred to a different prison.
Calls to the ODRC and OHP in Columbus were not immediately returned Monday afternoon. An e-mail message seeking comment was also sent to Corrections Corporation of America, which has owned and operated the ex-state prison since January 2012.

LEBANON, Tenn. - A Wilson County man said he was nearly choked to death during a routine traffic stop.
It was all caught on tape.
Prosecutors now seek criminal charges against the officer involved.
Mount Juliet Cpl. Bill Cosby was placed on desk duty in the spring as the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation scrutinized the video, investigated the incident.
Their investigation is complete and now Wilson County District Attorney Tommy Thompson is seeking criminal charges.
The police video is now a key piece of evidence against Cosby who stopped James Anders, Jr. in April. Cosby said he smelled marijuana and handcuffed Angers and his passenger.
Cosby believed Anders hid marijuana in his mouth so he tried to keep him from swallowing. In the video, Cosby is seen putting his hands around Anders' neck and applying pressure and telling him to stick out his tongue.
"Keep your tongue out. You put your tongue back in your mouth and I'm going to choke you. Stick your tongue out,' Cosby said.
The confrontation lasts nearly two minutes before Anders collapsed. He was unconscious. Marijuana was not found in his mouth and he tested negative for the drug.
Prosecutors said Cosby went too far. This week, the district attorney went before the grand jury seeking felony indictments including assault and perjury for filing a false report.
Anders' attorney Gary Vandever said Cosby falsely charged his client with resisting arrest.
"At no point did he ever resist arrest. The tape shows that," he said.
Prosecutors agreed and dropped charges against Anders and ordered a TBI investigation.
This week, the district attorney showed the video to a grand jury, hoping to indict Cosby. Vandever said that would send a message to all officers this isn't the way to handle such a stop.
Vandever thinks the video should become part of police cadet training to show them what not to do.
Neither the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation nor Thompson would comment on the confidential grand jury proceedings.
But if an indictment is returned Tuesday night it would be sealed until Cosby is served with the warrant.
Source said Cosby is out of the state in training with the National Guard. He's not due back in the area until next month. His attorney also declined to comment on the case.
A criminal indictment would only add to the officer's legal problems. Anders is already suing him in federal court for allegedly violating his constitutional rights.

If we are going to ban some guns, then with the First Amendment, shouldn't we ban some books and some words?
Seniors citizens have a very powerful lobby. They keep getting more and more "transfer payments" from younger generations. The mushrooming costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will bankrupt our youth.
The person who wrote that two years isn't enough to be a competent nurse obviously has not been through nursing school. It is very demanding and even with a four-year degree you only do two years of nursing; it's just two extra years of non-nursing courses.
Maybe when choosing a new name for their school, Peru could come out of the dark ages and change the mascot as well.
How many can afford five vacations in three months like your president so far in 2013. We are in financial straights but he can go play golf with Tiger, wife can ski, kids get two spring breaks.
Two-year nursing students are more competent than four-year ones due to triple the clinical time we experience. Do you want a nurse with hands on clinical knowledge or just book smarts taking care of you?
First the Meals on Wheels for elderly, then school cuts for preschoolers and support, now the Blue Angels. How's that change working out for you?
We going to now ban knives because of a stabbing? Or does it just work for guns?

DENVER (AP) -- Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns and Von Miller had three sacks, as the Denver Broncos defeated the San Diego Chargers 30-23 on Sunday to take a three-game lead in the AFC West.
Manning threw for 270 yards and Miller finished the day with 13 sacks on the season -- most in the NFL.
The Broncos quarterback got off to a slow start, throwing an interception that Eric Weddle returned for a score and an early 7-0 lead. But the Broncos (7-3) took a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter and never trailed again.
Manning won his 148th regular-season game as a starting quarterback, tying John Elway for second on the all-time list. Brett Favre has 186.
The Chargers (4-6) lost for the fifth time in six games.

RALEIGH — The city will mark the completion of the Walnut Creek Greenway trail with a dedication ceremony for the final leg on Tuesday.
The Walnut Creek Greenway now extends more than 15 miles from Lake Johnson across the southern part of the city to the Neuse River. The last 4.5-mile section of the trail, from Rose Lane to the Neuse River Trail, was completed in February.
The extension cost about $3.7 million to build. The paved trail follows Walnut Creek and surrounding wetlands and includes nearly a mile of boardwalk. The money for the project came from three sources: a parks bond issue that Raleigh voters approved in 2007; a transportation bond issue approved in 2009, and the states Parks and Recreation Trust Fund.
The Walnut Creek trail is part of the broader Capital Area Greenway system and includes connections to Pullen Park, N.C. State Universitys Centennial Campus, the State Farmers Market, downtown, the Walnut Creek Wetland Center and the Walnut Creek Softball Complex.
While the section being dedicated Tuesday is relatively short, it ties Raleighs inside-the-Beltline greenway system to the Neuse River Trail, making it possible to bike from Crabtree Valley Mall and the N.C. Museum of Art to Clayton or Knightdale for rides of more than 30 miles.
The dedication ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the ballfields in Worthdale Park, 849 Sunnybrook Road.
Construction continues on the final 4.1-mile section of the Crabtree Creek Greenway, which will extend from the WakeMed area east to Anderson Point Park and the Neuse River Trail. The Crabtree Creek trail is set to be completed this fall.

The term "ethereal" is used in attempt to describe a sort of otherworldly, heavenly beauty in music that is difficult to grasp. Ethereal music usually sounds lush, hazy, spaced out, with distant synths, echoing guitars, and soaring vocals. This typical ethereal sound can be found in many genres such as ambient, new age, neofolk, dream pop, shoegaze, darkwave, and (obviously) ethereal wave.

I had a coffee epiphany earlier this year.
I decided to splurge on a $16 bag of Counter Culture coffee, which is roasted in Durham.
Before that my coffee of choice was Eight OClock or whatever brand I could get a deal on with coupons at the grocery store. Every morning, I would brew several cups in my drip coffee maker. I would deluge my cup of coffee with sugar and milk.
The Counter Culture coffee was different. When I ground the beans, they smelled of black walnuts. That smell lingered when I brewed it. The taste was so good that I defile it with sugar or milk.
It reminded me of the first time I tasted a really great wine. I was at the annual wine festival at the Pinehurst resort. At a wine dinner, a fellow diner was sharing pours from a bottle of Beringer cabernet sauvignon from his personal collection. The wine danced on my tongue and changed in my mouth, becoming more complex as I swallowed. It was a revelation. Thats what good wine can be.
I wish I had written down the name of that wine. (What a great reporter I am!) I wish I had written down the name of the Counter Culture coffee that I bought this spring.
When that coffee ran out, I returned to my old coffee-drinking habits, unsure about whether I wanted to commit to such splurges on a regular basis.
Then I had a series of horrible batches of coffee from my drip coffee maker. I swear I didnt change my technique. Sometimes the coffee would be weak. Sometimes the coffee would be too strong. Sometimes only half the grounds would be wet inside the basket. After several attempts at cleaning the machine and still getting inconsistent results, I decided it was time to change my coffee ways.
I ditched the drip coffee maker and decided to get some lessons from two experts: Nathan Brown with Counter Culture Coffee and Michael Harwood, an award-winning barista with Carrboro Coffee Roasters.
Both showed me how to brew coffee with a pour-over brewer, also called a cone filter. The device can be a cheap plastic one used while camping or a ceramic one that costs $22. The filter sits on top of your coffee cup or a carafe and brews directly into it. You also will need a coffee grinder, a tea kettle and a kitchen scale that weighs grams.
This method isnt for everyone. It may be too expensive. It may take too much equipment. It lends itself to those with an engineers brain, figuring out the best grind, amount of coffee and how to best pour the water over the grounds. (I certainly do not have that kind of brain, but I still prefer it.)
Before I was making coffee roasted who knows when, in a machine that brewed with what was probably too-hot water, producing bitter results, hence the need for sugar and milk.
Now I am enjoying my morning coffee more. It tastes better. I dont have to doctor it. As Harwood says, its a nice ritual to start the day.
If you want to try, heres what I learned from these experts about coffee and pour-over brewing:
• Coffee is perishable. It is best enjoyed within two weeks of roasting. Local roasters and there are a number of them often list the roasting date on the bag. Coffee beans should be kept away from excessive air, light or moisture. Store it in an air-tight glass or ceramic container in a dark, cool place but not in the refrigerator or freezer. Buy only what you will use within two weeks.
• Place a paper filter in the pour-over brewer. Pour in some clean water to eliminate any papery taste.
• Measure the beans. You want 1.6 to 2 grams of coffee per ounce of water, or 25 to 32 grams for 16 ounces of water. (Play within this range to see what you like best.) If you dont have a scale, you want about 5 tablespoons of coffee beans for 16 ounces of water.
• Grind the beans. A burr grinder is best but those can be expensive. Brown says if you have a blade coffee grinder, which are more common but produce inconsistent grounds, shake it while grinding to produce grounds the texture of kosher salt or sand. Pour into pour-over brewer.
• Boil your water. (Harwood uses filtered water. I used tap water and liked the results.) Once it boils, take it off the heat for 30 seconds. The optimal temperature of water for brewing coffee is between 195 and 205 degrees.
• Pour enough water to wet the grounds. Stop and watch the grounds bloom, or puff up. When the bloom deflates, pour the rest of the water slowly and evenly over the grounds. This is easier to do with a tea kettle with a narrow spout. This should take two to three minutes.
• Enjoy your coffee.
To see a three-minute video with instructions on pour-over brewing, go to counterculturecoffee.com/pouroverbasics.
Counter Culture occasionally has classes on coffee brewing at its Durham training center. The three-hour classes are open to the public and cost $75. For information, go to counterculturecoffee.com

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (July 30, 2013) – Chairman of the Tennessee Black Caucus of State Legislators, Rep. Larry Miller (D-Memphis), released the following statement regarding the President's visit Tuesday:
"The Tennessee Black Caucus of State Legislators is proud to welcome President Barack Obama to Tennessee today.
"We look forward to hearing the President discuss his proposals to improve Tennessee's economy by making sound investments that will enable more Americans to join the middle class through hard work and determination.
"We hope that all Tennesseans, Democrat, Republican and Independent, will embrace the President's initiatives that seek to expand the middle class, increase earnings, and strengthen our financial security for the future.
"Now should not be a time for point scoring and tired political rhetoric that further divides this state. Instead, we should call a political truce that will enable us to work together for shared economic prosperity that we all so desperately need. We will never succeed as a society by tearing each other down, but rather by building each other up.
"In 2014, the Tennessee Black Caucus pledges to work with Democratic and Republican legislators to create more opportunity for better paying jobs that will enable every Tennessean the chance to live the American dream."

OXFORD — At 1:45 a.m. Wednesday morning, the casino referendum was too close to call.
Approval of Question 1 took an early lead as results trickled in. With 81 percent of precincts reporting, yes voters held a 1,400-vote lead.
In Oxford County, local voters came out in support of the referendum. According to unofficial results, Norway voters were in favor 1,500 to 888.
"I'm voting yes on 1 because I think it will be great for the economy," Norway resident Michelle Wood, 27, said outside the voting station Tuesday.
Paris voted for the referendum by a tally of 1,436 to 839, according to unofficial results.
Polls of likely voters over the past month have shown the casino leading with as many as 13 points. Casino supporters were cautiously optimistic going into Election Day.
Pro-casino group Maine Taxpayers Taking Charge represented Black Bear Entertainment, the group of Maine investors who would fund the casino if approved.
Rob Lally, a Black Bear Entertainment investor and a real estate developer, said the pro-casino group was optimistic at their campaign headquarters in Paris. "We're watching the returns come in and we're confident we'll come out on top," he said. "Hopefully, tomorrow we win and we can start putting people to work."
"If we don't win, it'll be the status quo," he said. "No new jobs; no new tax revenue."
The anti-casino coalition was a diverse one. In Norway, the Oxford Hills No on 1 campaign included pastors and business owners from around the county. Moose Pond Arts and Ecology co-founders Scott and Zizi Vlaun led the group.
"Every time it refreshes we're picking up points. We're in a dead heat," Scott Vlaun said. "We're not going to bed."
"We think because Penobscot County has only reported half of their votes and we're running so strong there that once they get all their votes in, we could surge ahead," he said.
CasinosNo! has been around since 2002 to oppose casino referendums across Maine. With 3,000 members, the group has fought several casino proposals in recent years, including a 2008 referendum for an Oxford County casino.
Dennis Bailey, executive director of CasinosNo!, said he was confident the referendum would fail as Republican Paul LePage gained on independent Eliot Cutler in the race for governor each time more precincts reported in.
"We know from polling: As LePage does better, we do better," Bailey said. "A lot of Republicans are with us on this."
Citizens Against the Oxford Casino included gambling interests that would be hurt by an Oxford Hills Casino, such as Hollywood Slots in Bangor and the Maine Harness Horsemen's Association. The Maine Association of Agricultural Fairs was also a sponsor.
Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School journalism student Abby Shanor contributed to this report.

The Daily Star
---- — With so much acrimony and misplaced, illogical, self-righteous indignation on display in Washington, we really don't need to see that emulated around here.
But there it was last week when Hillary Clinton gave a speech at Hamilton College and acknowledged that according to published reports, domestic production of gas and oil in the United States would soon surpass that of Russia.
"What that means for viable manufacturing and industrialization in this country is enormous," she said, according to the Gannett News Service.
By the fierce reaction of the anti-fracking community around here, you'd have thought that the former secretary of state, New York senator and first lady had advocated spritzing fracking fluid directly into infants' formula bottles rather than just very briefly acknowledging that America is moving toward energy independence.
In this editorial space, The Daily Star has made no secret of its serious reservations regarding horizontal fracturing in pursuit of natural gas anywhere in our local counties. We see little logic in forbidding the practice in the New York City watershed area, yet allowing it in rural upstate New York.
But we have this advice for those who share our concerns about fracking:
Time to get a grip, folks.
And maybe switch to decaf.
"It's astounding that she would say something so clueless," said Larry Bennett, communications director for Brewery Ommegang, in an email to local anti-fracking activists. "Clearly she hasn't paid any real attention to upstate politics over the past four years — nor has she done any polling."
A coalition of anti-fracking groups that includes New Yorkers Against Fracking and Catskill Mountainkeeper released an open letter to Clinton, stating: "So is it really so great that we are expanding extreme energy extraction more than ever? No, it's not. That's a backward, 20th century belief, and it's time for you to stop buying and touting the line from big oil & gas."
A welcome voice of reason and logic came from longtime Clinton supporter Kim Muller, a former mayor of Oneonta.
"I think some people hear things as they want to hear them," she told The Daily Star. "They are probably making assumptions, based on what little she has said. She has certainly spoken in favor of alternative forms of energy. She needs to be given the courtesy of addressing a broader energy proposal before they jump to conclusions."
We understand that with Clinton's standing as the heavy favorite to be the Democratic Party's candidate for president in 2016 that folks can get all caught up in reading tea leaves, but let's all calm down.
In this case, those leaves would make some pretty weak tea.

The first story about the heavenly host is offered to us by Anne Rice and is entitled Angel Time. Anne Rice is the author of some of the most culturally influential fiction of the past several decades. Her series, The Vampire Chronicles, and other supernatural thrillers reintroduced the gothic genre to popular culture while at the same time providing it with a decidedly secularized ethos. For centuries, literary creatures like those described by Anne Rice in her novels were dependent on a theological patrimony and robust metaphysics both of which imparted meaning to dark tales. One could not envision or speak of such things without reference to divinity. That changed definitively with Rice as her supernatural literary creations were modern creatures through and through, the absence of God permeated her tales and metaphysics were thinly expressed if at all. Rice's personal and literary vision underwent significant transformation with her return to Christianity. Catholicism seemed to always be a vestigial part of her novels, but now that Faith is integral to her writing, a fact for which Rice offers no apology.
Angel Time is the story of Toby O'Dare, a professional assassin, who in the midst of one of his crimes is confronted by a very real angel of the Lord. We know from the Bible that such heavenly visitations are either life changing or life ending, and for O'Dare it is the former, rather than the latter. The angel informs O'Dare that God has chosen him for a mission, one that will take the assassin back in time to the period of the middle ages, but this heavenly mission, unlike his worldly mission, will be to save lives rather than to take them. Before this mission can begin, O'Dare must endure his own interior journey through his personal history and confront within himself those critical aspects any examination of conscience demands: "what he has done and what he has failed to do." In the course of this harrowing pilgrimage, we learn not only about O'Dare's sins, but all that has made him the man that he has become, and what we discover that it is not just sin, his own or the sin of the world that has forged his character, but unforeseen, and often unaccepted offers of supernatural grace. O'Dare emerges from this crucible ready for his mission, and through that mission, discovers a renewed sense of purpose for his life and that reconciliation with God open up possibilities that alienation from God had stifled. Rice's story emerges out of a densely Catholic metaphysic coupled with a keen understanding of just how supernatural intervention in human affairs presents itself in forms simultaneously familiar and off putting.
Another offering of angelic lore is given to the culture in Danielle Trussoni's Angelology. Trussoni imagines the character of a Catholic nun, Sister Evangeline, whose quiet and predictable life in a New York convent is overturned by the appearance of the descendents of the nephilim (human/angelic hybrids that were the result of couplings between fallen angels and humanity) and a secret society dedicated to resisting the malevolent influence of these creatures called angelologists. It is not just her life that is overturned in the course of the story, but her Christian faith, as Sister Evangeline abandons her religious vocation, embeds herself in the angelologists and discovers that her family history links her to not only this secret society, but the nephilim as well. It seems that the personal history of Sister Evangeline is but a microcosm of the macrocosm of world history, which we learn has been controlled and directed for nefarious and selfish purposes by the descendents of the nephilim. The metaphysics of this story are Gnostic and the sense of history is conspiratorial. The offer of grace is conceived of in violence, rather than redemption from it or even through it. Catholicism is utilized in the story as something akin to a stage set, destined to be overturned and destroyed, as a necessary condition for the progression of the plot.
What Rice's and Trussoni's books hold in common are not just the obvious use of the presence or influence of angels as a means to construct their stories, but a dramatic presentation of the burdens of history, both personal and cultural. Both authors present in their novels a particular sensibility in regards to these phenomena as exemplified in the main characters and the attempts of these characters to find redemption. However, each of the author's strategies in regards to this redemption are profoundly different. On the level of personal history, Rice's Toby O'Dare must grow further in relation to his Catholic Faith, finding within this not only the God he had presumed to be absent, but the potential for a life directed by a purpose other than sin. Trussoni's Sister Evangeline leaves the convent, discovering that her faith was based on half-truths and that her life's purpose is not as she had presupposed, the integration of contemplation and charitable mission, but action and adventure.
Rice has O'Dare discover that cultural history shows forth its truth in not only shadows and light, but also sin and redemption, our immersion in which clarifies our sense of self and the meaning of human experience. All this is conditioned by a Providence that is drawing not only the personal (represented by O'Dare) but the cultural (represented by his time traveling adventure) into relationship with Himself. This being the case, Rice demonstrates the profoundly Catholic instincts that God's grace builds upon human nature that, though fallen, is still capable of sanctification. For Trussoni, cultural history is a subterfuge for the machinations of powerful special interest groups with hidden agendas, desperately trying to keep their secrets so as to remain in power. Knowledge of this secret history leads to personal liberation and the unleashing of one's full potential. Meaning is found in facing down the powers that limit and circumscribe the exercise of human independence. This is the meta-narrative of cultural modernity.
Which story is the more enticing and illuminating story of angels and humans? The reader of these books can judge for themselves as both stories are distinctive works of fiction which seem to be informed by very different sets of convictions about the world. I will say that as a believer in real angels, rather than just their literary imitations, I think that Rice "gets" what angels are all about, and shows how a cohesive theological framework can elevate storytelling beyond the mere description of events and circumstances. Anne Rice's Angel Time demonstrates that she understands what both human experience and Christian beliefs about angels are meant to signify: to be a creature of God is to be the recipient of a totally undeserved and unexpected offer of divine grace.

Want to help out this season? Here are a couple of newly added giving opportunities sent to Patch:

The toys were donated to provide Christmas for hundreds of children through the YWCA, and were stolen this past weekend. Please consider donating a toy. We will have a drop box at the U Top It shop or toys may be dropped off at Passage Point or 2820 E. Cherry St, Seattle – The deadline is this Friday, Dec. 14.

You can help a needy family this holiday season by donating to the Reindeer Engine or dropping off a food item or new unwrapped toy at any of our staffed fire stations.
Want to help out this holiday? Here's a rundown of several other local groups with upcoming or ongoing charitable activities:
Toys for Tots at Sammamish Police Department:
Residents can really brighten the holidays for needy kids by dropping off presents at City Hall. Collection bins are available at the police department (just inside the front door of City Hall) and at the King County Sheriff's Office (just up the stairs as you enter the building).
The presents (new, unwrapped items only, please) ultimately go to the U.S. Marine Corps for distribution. Thanks to the leadership of Deputy Amy Jarboe, Toys for Tots has become an annual success story here in Sammamish.
"I've been seeing this generosity from Sammamish residents for years now," Jarboe said. "It really helps the kids have a nice holiday season, and I know it brings a lot of joy to those of us in uniform."
Donations will be taken at Sammamish City Hall, 801 228th Ave. S.E., until the end of business on Dec. 14.

Jacksonville Daily Progress
A 100-percent success rate is an unbeatable mark of excellence.
And that is the plateau that the Jacksonville College women's basketball program reached with its five sophomores that ended their time at JC following the 2012-13 season.
Each member of the hoops quintet has moved on to the next level and will be playing at a four-year school in the upcoming season.
Recapping, in late spring Chelsea Rogers and Jasmine Robinson inked letters of intent to continue their respective academic and athletic careers with Southland Conference (NCAA, Division I) schools.
Rogers selected Northwestern (La.) State, while Robinson decided on Sam Houston State.
Over the summer Breanna Burford, Jinaki Robinson and Kalyn Shorter came to agreements with Rogers State, a NCAA Division II school located in Claremore, Okla., Friends University (NAIA) in Wichita, Kan. and with LeTourneau University (NCAA, Division III) in Longview, respectively.
"We are extremely proud of each of these young ladies and we wish them the best of luck at their new schools," Lynn Nabi, current academic dean at JC, said. "I believe each school is getting a fine basketball player and I think that these ladies will be able to contribute to their new teams right away."
Nabi, previously served as athletic director/head women's basketball coach at JC and is very familiar with each of the former Lady Jags.
Two Lady Jag products to meet on the D-I stage this fall
For the first time in the history of JC, two of the school's former womens basketball talents will oppose each other at the NCAA Division I level this fall when Wisconsin travels to Tuscaloosa, Ala. to take on the Crimson Tide women at 7 p.m. on Nov. 21.
The game will pit Daria Kryuchkova, a senior post on the Wisconsin squad against Khadijah Carter, a sophomore forward/post at Alabama, who transferred in following her freshman season (2012-13) at JC.
Miss Kryuchkova is from Moscow, Russia, while Miss Carter calls Goodrich, Texas home.
"We are very excited about this game and about the fact that two former Lady Jaguars will be playing on opposing Division I teams in this game," Nabi said. "I think that there will be a lot of interest among our fans in this game."
