The Elkhart boys basketball team all but locked up its first playoff berth in eight years Tuesday, topping Woden, 67-54, on the road.
With the win, the Elks move to 7-2 in 19-2A play. But, more importantly, they dropped fourth-place Woden to 4-4.
With only three games remaining for Elkhart and four for Woden, the Elks would have to lose out and Woden win out for the Eagles to pass them up.
That doesn't seem likely with Elkhart hosting last-place Groveton (0-8 in district) Friday, and with Woden still having to play both Westwood and Crockett before the season ends.
Tuesday, Woden took a three-point lead into the second half after a 22-point second quarter.
But, Elkhart played shutdown defense in the second half, holding the Eagles to 19 points.
Jacob Cheatham and Luke Hollingsworth both had 17 points for Elkhart in the victory, while the Elks also got 16 from Cole Bridges and Brian Johnson had nine.
While the playoff picture is a lot clearer after Tuesday, the seeding is not. Any of the three teams could still win the district depending on how the final four games play out.
Elkhart (13-11, 7-2) hosts Groveton Friday, with games beginning at 5 p.m.
Cayuga boys, Palestine girls win in Cayuga
The Cayuga boys powerlifting team won five of the 10 weight-classes at its home meet Saturday en route to an 18-point win.
Cayuga got wins from Brant Cox (132 pounds), Carlos Aguinaga (181 pounds), Ty Tunstall (220 pounds), Aaron Foxworth (242 pounds) and Daniel Jock (275 pounds) in the win.
Cayuga's Blake Guldjord finished second in the 148-pound class, sandwiched between Elkhart's Cody DeFore, who won the class, and Tate Molandes, who finished third.
The Wildcats also got a second-place finish from Colton Moody, who finished behind super-heavyweight winner Manuel Solis of Palestine.
The Elks edged Palestine for second, finishing five points ahead of the Wildcats in the final standings.
Along with DeFore's win, the Elks got wins from Dalton Kassaw at 123 pounds and Rodrick Arceneaux at 198 pounds.
Palestine's Sir Thompson finished second in the 165-pound class, followed by Elkhart's Chris Box in third, while Cayuga's Jacob Boyd won bronze in the 198-pound class won by Arceneaux.
Nolan Mays of Palestine finished second to Tunstall in the 220-pound class, while the Wildcats Ty Swindle was second to Foxworth at 242 pounds.
Also bringing home a silver was Palestine's Patrick Cross in the 275-pound class.
On the girls side, Palestine won three of the nine weight classes to top Cayuga for the team title.
The Ladycats got wins from Elizabeth Sorley in the 105-pound class, Taelor Maciel in the uncontested 123-pound class and Nataly Acevedo at 165 pounds.
Palestine also got second-place finishes from Taylor Wehling at 114 pounds, Breanna Vasquez at 132 pounds and Kiontee Robinson at 181 pounds.
Cayuga got wins from Ashlyn Statham in the uncontested 97-pound class and Shaina Stotts in the uncontested 198-pound class, as well as Shelby Luce in the 114-pound class.
Elkhart got a win in the 132-pound class from Chasity Chambless, while Harley Brim finished third.

The surgical residency program at Memorial Medical Center has received the highest recognition from its national accreditation organization.
The program earned a five-year accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, which expects teaching hospitals to demonstrate a commitment to excellence, education and research.
"It is very unusual for a community-based surgical residency program to receive anything more than a three-year accreditation," said Dr. Russell Dumire, program director.

Liz Schreiber, Psychology
Liz SchreiberPsychology Student
"I think we bring who we are to what we do in life," says Liz Schreiber, "whether it's business or education or medicine. I wanted an education that would challenge my intellect while it also broadened my personal growth, pushing me to look at things in a different perspective."
Liz has worked as a counselor in several different organizations, and thought she had the training she needed to make a difference that the world needed. But she discovered that conventional psychological training is only really effective in conventional situations – and those weren't the kind she wanted to address.
"I was working with middle-school children who had one or both of their parents in prison, and these kids didn't even know how affected they were, at this crucial age, by the choices their parents and society had made for them," she says. "I think that was the beginning of my trying to see the whole picture – not just seeing a child as being diagnosed with ADHD or with a learning disability, but to see beyond that diagnosis and what might be contributing to it."
Too often, she says, "we were helping impoverished individuals, but not looking at what caused that poverty, or the cycle of it. So I decided that I needed not just to understand individuals, but their environments, and how people could move on from one set of environments into a set of healthier ones."
That's why she came to Saybrook to get an MA Psychology degree with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy.
"I've found the professors to be open and I feel that I'm being mentored," she says. "It's a growing experience: you're being shown empirical facts while at the same time incorporating your own values, your own way of being, into the profession. There's a mentality that we will go through this together, and we will learn, we will grow of ourselves in a fulfilling way while also earning a paycheck."
She plans to continue working with non-profits, potentially entering management as well as counseling. The one thing she's sure she wants: for her work to make a difference – especially to kids in unconventional situations.

Five months after his accident, Tim Sumpter can recall looking up as his parachute began to open, right before he crashed into the Snake River in Idaho at 80 plus mph during a jump from a bridge.
But at the time, all the Waterloo man remembered was a lot of bubbles underwater and then being hauled onto a pontoon boat.
That's understandable. He was in a coma for the next 17 days with injuries that included a pelvis torn in half, two broken shoulders, broken vertebrae, a shattered tailbone and a whole lot of trauma.
Now, amazingly, he is fine, although quite a bit achy, and back at work as a senior software engineer at Jet Aviation St. Louis at St. Louis Downtown Airport in Cahokia.
Sumpter is still in physical therapy twice a week with hopes of getting back on the ski slopes next winter.
But after 22 years, he has given up flinging himself off bridges, buildings and other tall objects.
"I love you. I'm never gonna jump again," was the first thing he told his wife, Theresa, after he finally woke up in the hospital in Boise, Idaho.
Sumpter is what's known as a BASE jumper, which stands for Buildings, Antennas, Spans and Earth, all things people like to jump from. It usually starts with a love of skydiving and grows from there.
For Sumpter, jumping off things was a hobby.
He said he probably had about eight broken bones in various places from jumping accidents in his career.
"Now I have 21," he said. "Luckily there was no brain trauma, but I still get tired. I'm healed. It just aches."
Sumpter is 46 but said he sometimes feels about 80.
His BASE jumping love all started with a TV show.
"Back in the 1980s, I saw some guys on MTV jumping off the Twin Towers in New York City. I said that looks great. Guys could throw themselves off something and safely land -- mostly."
So he went to the airport in Sparta and took skydiving lessons.
After 25 jumps he went to West Virginia and did his first BASE jump.
He said he never thought about dying. He just knew he felt really alive while jumping -- until last Aug. 31, Labor Day weekend. He was jumping off the bridge that spans the Snake River in Idaho, the same area where daredevil Evel Knievel unsuccessfully tried to jump the river on a rocket-propelled motorcycle.
"Eight hundred fifty jumps later, I guess the Lord said, 'In order to make Tim stop, I'm gonna have to really, really mess him up.'" Sumpter said.
It was his third jump of the day, around 5:30 p.m., and started normally. But somehow the strap on the bag holding his pilot chute, which was supposed to open his main chute, became tangled on his arm and didn't deploy.
He said he had about six seconds between jumping and hitting the water, 486 feet below. Normally his chute would have popped open and he would have had 15-20 seconds to fly around before landing on the beach.
About four seconds into his jump he saw the problem and had just enough time to fix the strap and see the pilot chute start to unfold.
He said he now can remember details from the jump. He hit the water, which was only about 4 1/2 feet deep, feet first. His tailbone probably hit on the bottom of the river.
Luckily, a boat was nearby and came to his rescue. Apparently he was hard to miss.
"People there said it sounded like a Magnum (handgun) going off when I hit the water," he said.
Even luckier, a nurse floated by in another boat and took charge, making sure his head was secured so he wasn't paralyzed.
He was taken to a regional hospital and then flown by helicopter to Boise. He had internal bleeding, which led to cardiac arrest.
"It was the worst pain of my life," he said.
His wife flew out the next day and stayed with him for four weeks.
Other family members came out and stayed as well, including his son, Bradley, stepson, David, and stepdaughter, Caiti.
He said the doctors had to make his wife take breaks and get away from him. But he was grateful for the company, and the love, which he said had a lot to do with his quick recovery.
After quite a bit of healing, his employer, Jet Aviation, flew him and his family back to St. Louis.
Sumpter said he reflects often on that day and whether it had a deeper purpose.
"Eighty percent of people with traumatic pelvic injuries die," he said. "I should have died that day. Do I have another purpose in life?
"I mean, I'm blessed. I'm happy for a second half in my life. I hope to make a difference somehow."
But not with a parachute strapped to his back.

When did you turn pro?
I turned pro in the US in 2008
What are the events, wins, memories that stand out most throughout your career so far?
Definitely winning the ABA pro title in 2010 was a huge thrill. That title has been something that I have dreamt about since I was 6 years old.
If there's one thing that people in the industry would recognize you by, what would that be?
I think a hard worker and OCD with my training
Word Association:
• Fun= AMA SX with friends • Vision= Success • Friend= Alise Post • Foe= TAX • Greenhouse= recycle? • Gas= Petrol
When did you first start riding? Where/why?
I started in my back yard and around the neighbourhood when I was 6 years old. I like it because it was up to me to do what I wanted to with it, it was just me and my bike.
What drives you to be sicker than everyone else?
The thrill of being able to know that you're sicker then the other guy
If you weren't ripping on a bike, what kind of menial task would you want to do?
I think now race MX for sure that sport is so sick.
If you had to date one person who would it be: Pamela Anderson after Tommy Lee, Snookie from Jersey Shore or your mom in the past like Michael J. Fox from Back to the Future?
Pamela-I ain't scared haha
If you had to share a bathroom with one Oakley rider, who would it NOT be and why?
That's tough...I guess Afro Bob he looks like he could drop a mean old deuce..........
Tell me a funny story about an Oakley rider...(We'll never tell)
Alise's post email address used to be "thephycocrazybeast@….....com"
Talent…other than doing no handed pushups:
Now that's tuff with the no handed push up ruled out, I guess I will have to go to the next best thing: I cook a mean Salmon.
Your Favorite…(Start with your favorite music artist or something):
Chad Reed, Redline, The Vikings, Alise Post, Toyota Tacoma
Oakleys are…
Style and innovation
Best song to ride to:
Anything by Hilltop hood
First thing you do when you get back from a trip is…
Well I normally.................... haha just kidding I guess sleep
A lot of riders never get to go to Prom, did you go, who did you take or who would you ask if you could go today?
We don't do Prom in Australia but it looks like a great night: full of teens getting drunk and 'experimenting.' haha I would ask my girl Alise Post of course
Fist pumping? Head Banging? C-Walking? Or Funky Chicken? Which one? Or all of the above?
They all have their place for me. I think the funky chicken
Dream vacation spot:
Hmmmm for me Chad Reed's back yard. With my girl: Hawaii
Would you rather get punched in the gut by Mr. T. or super roundhouse kicked in the face by Chuck Norris?
Round house kicked by Chuck Norris would be great
If the most interesting man in the world wanted to take your girlfriend out would you let him?
Sure because he ain't got nufin on me Mate
You've been mistaken for…
I get Brad Pitt a lot. Zak Effron you know, the usual
Taylor Swift or Myley Cyrus? Or if you prefer older, Megan Fox or Diane Keaton?
Myley Cyrus hands down HANDS DOWN! and Megan Fox... Keaton, that's too mature for me.
Last words…
See Ya lataa mate

22oz bottle. 2008 vintage, bottle #71
I read the commercial description of this beer on BA one day and decided I needed to try it. A month later the brewery closed, but I was able to get a bottle soon after.
Reviewed from notes. Opened Sept 2010.
a - Pour is deep brown to black. Very large foamy head.
s - Notes of dark fruit, caramel, tobacco, malts and a bit of hops. Not picking up much, if any, of the alcohol.
t - Amazingly smooth. Chocolate covered cherries, molasses, dark roasted malts, and oak. This is a treat indeed. At 14% it warms you up, but there is no alcohol burn in the flavor.
m - Thick creamy body. Good carbonation level for the style. Very easy to drink, but should be savored and sipped slowly out of a snifter.
overall - I am so sad Roots isn't in business anymore. I prefer this over almost any of those big RIS releases. I'd love to see a brewery buy this recipe and continue its production.

2008 22 oz. bottle sitting in my cellar for about a year... bought at The Beermongers then... and I was surprised they pulled these out of some place... but I got one, and it smells delicious. Bottle number 141 as written on the side with a sharpie. Series #4.
- First off... the bottle basically spewed everywhere when I opened it... not quite a bomb though.... but foam oh my. Huge half-a-pint glass full of light cream colored head... took awhile to get down to a fluffy blanket of lopsided.. bubbly madness. The ale is a dark muddy brown and red... slightly cloudy... and I can't get over the smell...
- After the bomb... I cleaned up with some glass plus on my desk... this ale still overpowers it. Sweet robust malts... oats... barley... with thick currants, fig.. spice, squash... anything to make a sweet madness...
- Oh my.. huge sweetness factor... like syrup... currants... fig, prune, oak... sugar, powdered sugar... alcohol... and still hot after all this time... but interesting enough.... cherries... maple... this thing is everywhere.. candy.
- Huge carbonation... very bubble... almost hard to drink it's so carbonated... very syrupy and sticky... chewy... and chalky... the feel isn't quite there...
- Overall this is an odd, different, unique... and strong ale! I love how different it is... and it is stronger than most any other ale I have had... and even after a couple of years, it is still hot, sweet... and in your face good. But... more novelty than craft.

Big props to my buddy Kyle for bringing this big and expensive bottle with him to share at the Stone Sour Fest. Bottle #199/200 and an 08' vintage.
Had to wait a few minutes to actually see the color of the beer as a result of this being a very temperamental and foamy beer. It seems with every pour there was only about half an ounce of beer and the rest was all foam. We were afraid that the bottle might have gotten infected but after smelling it we could tell it was fine. After the foam settled, around 5 minutes later, I can see the brown hue and red highlights of the liquid.
Nice aroma of dark fruits, dates, raisins, caramel, roasted malts, very nutty, lots of molasses as well, brown sugar, and cocoa. Surprisingly the alcohol is well hidden, let's see if it can do the same in the flavor.
Pretty much the same as the aroma, very sweet, brown sugar, molasses, toast, nutty, chocolate in the finish with some dates and sweet raisins. Again, the alcohol is very well hidden, would have gotten a higher score if the mouthfeel wasn't so fizzy. More dry cocoa in the finish.
The beer was very effervescent but not terrible overall, a tad syrupy at times. Drinks fairly well for such a big beer, one to sip on a cold rainy day.

Election Night - 4 Nov 2008 - what I was sipping at 8:00pm PST, when the polls closed and the race was called for our next president, Barack Obama.
A generous pour from a mammoth 3-liter jeroboam, about 6 oz. into a wine glass. The 2006 edition (batch #02), bottle #66; label autographed by brewers Craig, Jason and Chris. Enormous thanks to our host, Bill, for sharing.
A: Murky, milk chocolate brown, tinged a lighter chestnut orange. Fair carbonation and a clinging ring of sandy tan head.
S: Subtle smoked wood, leather, ripe cherry, sweet caramel glaze.
T: A beautifully aged barleywine/strong ale: mellowed but still-potent hops - herbal, minty, grassy, fruity (tangerine, obvious cherry). Big sugar-sweet maltiness: toffee and cocoa powder, a little spice. Oaky and smoothly boozy.
M: Luscious mouthfeel, creamy as can be. Thick but not syrupy. For a 13.5% beer, this is well-balanced and hides its fusel heat pretty well.
D: Wonderfully high drinkability for a very strong beer. Maybe a little muddled, but so much going on that's interesting - a sipper worth reflection and contemplation. Fitting to have tasted this on a night like tonight.

Bottle #49 from 2007.
Appearance: Pours a quite dark, reddish-brown body with a small, ivory-colored head.
Smell: Slightly boozey black cherry aroma with muted notes of malted grain and fine vintage leathers.
Taste: Sweetish dark caramel flavor with a splash of two of cherry cordial. Slight perceived bitterness peeks out from around the full flavors. Hints of leather and smoke. Cherryish finish with some tannic qualities to it.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium carbonation. Somewhat chewy mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Definitely a sipper, but a good one. If you can't enjoy this one in front of a warm, cozy fire, at least sample it with the fine company of TheBeerCellar.

Every dimension of this monstrous barleywine is well, epic. From the heavyweight body spilling with rum-soaked fruit to the aggressive bittering and strong alcoholic finish, Epic is a beer of bold proportions. It delivers a spiced complexity and light graininess with solemn authority. And it is unexpectedly smooth.
Roots serves Epic in 10-oz. stemmed wine glasses. The $5 price is a bit spendy, but the indulgence is worth it. The beer invites reflective introspection as you sip it. It is a thoughtful and deliberate beer, its organic, and if you want to take some home with you, you can pick up a jeroboam to go for $85.

13.5% ABV according to the brewery..."We hand smoked 60#'s of organic Munich malt over cherry wood soaked in 2 bottles of 15 year old French oak Glinlivet, 2 bottles of 10 year old Cognac & cherry juice"
OK, so you know your in for something special, or at least epic!
Poured in a small goblet/wine glass, the Epic Ale is a a deep, muddy mahogany with a creamy, 2 finger off-white head that subsided fairly quickly to just a collar and a skimming. Really gorgeous on the pour, only improvement would have been better head retention, still a beautiful color.
The aroma starts out very slight, malt, oak and grape, but as it warms it really builds, to almost a grape kool-aid like sweetness, which happens to be another beverage I love. Yum!
Tasting this is just a flavor explosion, really phenomenal. Very rich and malty, with prunes and cherries, brandy, smoke and a slight diactyl butteriness that I enjoyed, and a warm glowing of alcohol, with absolutely no fusels. In spite of the aroma and fruit flavors, this is not sweet or sugary at all, just a deep richness, with a very smooth finish that has a nice oaky dryness and a tasty bready aftertaste. Really complex but so nicely balanced, just wonderful!
The mouthfeel is lush and creamy with a moderate effervescence, and not all heavy or cloying as one might expect from such a strong dark. Very nice.
The drinkability on this one is through the roof, wow is it good. This is a masterfully done Strong Ale from Roots, get it while you can! I notice people tend to give stronger beers lower drinkability scores here, but I am rating primarily to style - although if I were just rating how much I liked it over all, my score would probably not deviate! Also, I have had this 3 times now, so I wanted to make sure that I was accurately assessing it before giving such a high score, but I believe I am, for my palate at least. Boy would I love to have a case of these in the cellar, unfortunately their only bottle offering is a $85, 3.3 liter Jeroboam, or about 5 x 22oz, which is too rich for my blood. Oh well, guess I'll have to have this at the bar while I can!

This thing was a bit of a surprise. Delivered in a small tulip glass, the deep cocoa body was topped with a just slightly lighter brown foam that was thick enough to support a penny. There was active bubbling that gave a very nitro-pour effect. The beer had a milk-shake look to it.
The aroma was sweet & tart with a somewhat cherry sensation. It was also warm with alcohol and just slightly chocolatey.
The taste was dense with sour & tart alcohol flavors, cherry like sweetness and chocolate & toasted malt compliments.
The body was unlike any other beer I've tried and had the consistency of an Odwalla juice with heavy suspension of malt sediments and bubbles. Really cool, and it regulated the drinking rate.
After a while, the head thinned out and there was just a slight meniscus of what must have been alcohol above the heavy, thick body of the beer. This is powerful stuff.

---- — This time of year, local lakes can be deadly. People should heed thin-ice warnings, no matter how tempting it is to get out as the weather brightens.
With last weekend's mild temperatures, many outdoor enthusiasts were figuring this was the perfect time for skiing, sledding, ice fishing and other favorite winter activities. After all, the opportunity won't be around much longer.
But spring fever sometimes trumps common sense at this time of year. From St. Lawrence County comes a tragic reminder that the season's changes bring underlying danger.
One evening last week, four snowmobilers were riding across an ice-covered portion of the Rainbow Falls Reservoir in the Town of Parishville. Two of them, older men from Canton and Norwood, became disoriented in snowy conditions and drove their machines off the ice and into open water. They both drowned, and one of the other snowmobile riders suffered hypothermia in trying to save them.
Weather conditions on local water bodies can change in a matter of moments, with blowing snow aggravating the hazard. The rise and fall of temperatures can leave ice that was solid one day in fragile condition the next.
Take a look out on Lake Champlain near Rouses Point. The lake water is open in that area, but you can still spot anglers most days at King's Bay, just a few miles away in Champlain. That scene is repeated in many areas of the North Country.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has warned people that all ice-fishing shanties have to be off the ice by this Friday. If that doesn't happen, owners can be fined up to $100.
The rule isn't solely for the protection of anglers. Shanties that sink into the ice become hard to remove and create hazards for snowmobile riders. And shanties that fall completely into the water after the ice melts are a navigation hazard for boaters in the summer.
The weather is expected to get colder at the end of this week, and that might tempt people to get in a little extra ice-fishing time or to head out across frozen surfaces in their snowmobiles.
The state issued this advisory in early winter and it holds true now, as well: "DEC cautions that the presence of snowmobile tracks or footprints on the ice should not be taken as evidence of safe ice conditions. Individuals are strongly encouraged to check ice conditions for themselves and avoid situations that appear to present even a remote risk."
Too many times, the Press-Republican has reported on tragedies that happen when people venture out on the ice at this time of year. It might seem so obvious that you wonder who would need to be advised to use caution, but history has proven that many ignore the warnings.
Get your shanties — and yourself — off the ice.

CNHI News Service
— Buick built its reputation on big, smooth, quiet cars.
There are plenty of people who buy luxury cars, though — especially the entry-level luxury cars that Buick specializes in — who don't want their car to feel like something that Grandma would drive.
That's why the Buick Verano exists.
Built on the same platform as the Chevy Cruze, an eyebrow-raising compact car from General Motors that happens to be one of my
favorites, the Verano seems to split right down the middle of the sport vs. comfort battle.
It's something enjoyable enough to make
young drivers grin, but it's squishy and plush enough to make Grandma happy, too.
Until now, the Verano's biggest downside has been its lack of a powerful engine to compete with the likes of BMW, Acura and Infiniti,
all brands that know how to make luxury cars that are lively when you step on the gas pedal.
Buick fixes that problem in 2013 with the addition of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that makes 250 horsepower. That's enough to
provide a real thrill in a car this small, helping it accelerate from 0-60 in just 6.2 seconds.
It's also surprisingly efficient with a 31-mpg rating in highway driving. When you consider that the Verano's base engine only gets 1
mpg better than the turbocharged model, while making a whopping 70 fewer horses, the turbo engine is the clearly better choice.
It also exposes a new, gaping hole in the Verano's powertrain lineup: the lack of a more fuel-efficient option for people who want to save money at the gas pump. Many cars this size are rated at over 40 mpg on the highway these days.
Then again, Buick has been trying to position the Verano as a sophisticated, upscale car that just happens to be a compact. Putting
a small, whiny, efficient engine in it might only make it feel like a Chevy.
The big question, of course, is whether the Verano is different enough from its Cruze cousin to pay extra for the Buick version instead of getting the cheaper Chevrolet.
General Motors has a long history of
essentially selling the same car with different badges glued to the hood.
Is that what the Verano is?
For the most part, no. Not at all. It feels like a drastically different car, with a smoother ride, significantly quieter cabin and
better, more upscale styling than its Chevy relative. It inherits the Cruze's small back seat, though, that can limit knee room for tall passengers.
More than anything else, what sets the Verano apart is its cabin.
Buick seems to be moving more upscale — taking brands like Lexus more seriously than GM traditionally has done — by using contrasting color stitching, soft-touch dash materials and leathers that feel thick and supple.
If you look at this car as a whole, from its styling to its turbocharged performance and classy cabin, it's a baby Buick that works exceptionally well. Not only does it offer the affordable luxury that Buick is known for, but it also has the zip and excitement that
younger luxury drivers crave.
Pricing starts around $23,000, or roughly $30,000 with the turbocharged engine.

The Daily Star
---- — Now I know what you all are thinking: "How is Maggie going to write a column all about how funny she is? Isn't that biased?" But, despite how hysterical I know you all think I am, this month's column is, in fact, not about my incredible wit and sarcasm (sorry to disappoint).
Actually, I decided to base this article on the subject of funny women. Yes, believe it or not, women can be funny. I know, I was surprised too. This past year was definitely dominated by women in the entertainment industry and this fall will be no different.
Therefore, I have compiled a list of the fall's funniest women to be on the lookout for.
The first lady had a small role in 2011's "Bridesmaids," but no doubt made her presence known as the crazy sister of Kristen Wiig's roommate. Australian actress Rebel Wilson also appeared in the star-studded "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and the summer's "Ice Age: Continental Drift" and is also appearing in two films out this fall.
The first movie, "Bachelorette," features a cast with the likes of Kirsten Dunst, James Marsden, Lizzy Caplan from "Mean Girls," Adam Scott from "Step Brothers," and Isla Fisher from "Wedding Crashers." With all of these great talents combined with Wilson's uncanny comedic timing, you would think that this movie would be a home-run, with the premise close to a female "Hangover."
However, I was sorely disappointed by this movie, with predictable plot lines and dialogue that was sub-par. It almost seemed that the screenwriter thought that by adding copious amounts of swearing the audience would be overcome by laughter. Not the case. Not even Wilson could save this, because her signature thick Australian accent was dropped for the movie and she was stuck with an underwhelming American accent.
But Wilson's fall was undoubtedly saved by her next film, "Pitch Perfect," also starring Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow. The movie follows an all-female a cappella group that tries to revamp its image to win a competition against a boys' group.
Wilson stars as Amy, or as she calls herself, "Fat Amy" ("So skinny twigs like you don't do it behind my back"). Throughout the film, Wilson spits one wisecrack after another, adding the comedic relief to the movie, which is also chock-full of great musical numbers.
The next funny lady is actually one that I wrote about last spring. Mindy Kaling, who was on "The Office" and wrote the great memoir "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" is now starring in her very own sitcom, "The Mindy Project."
The show, broadcast on Fox, centers on a single OB/GYN, played by Kaling, who tries to find love in spite of her unique personality. The show, which is also written by Kaling, is sure to bring a lot of laughs to "Office" fans and newcomers as well.
The newest season of NBC's wildly popular show "30 Rock" is also set to be its last. As saddening as this news is, I am positive that this season will be as hysterical as every other before it. The season is set to have 13 or 14 episodes and the final episode will run for one hour.
With the show's end many people have begun to wonder what the show's star, Tina Fey, will be doing next. While she is set to star in a new dramedy titled "Admission," Fey has not announced any new projects.
The fall season in television and film is sure to be a great time with these women and others leading to way to a good time. Be sure to keep an eye out for these ladies' next projects, as they will no doubt be just as well done as their current ones.

---- — NYSEG wires
TO THE EDITOR: New York State Electric & Gas fails to provide clear passageway for overhead wires.
With May's wind conditions, three big maples were twisting in the wind and cracked, with the possibility of taking the wires down, with the wires moving through the branches and the rain making sparks.
Under the transformer, there was brush, which also pushed up on the entrance wire to my home.
The NYSEG forester had me mark the maples and came to look at them. He called me on the phone and told me they were too big, old and deep rooted; he couldn't do anything and said the wires were fine.
The company contracted to clear trees and brush from under the transformer stood there and complained that there were vines and didn't want to cut there.
Thank God for the NYSEG linemen who came and trimmed the brush pushing up on the entrance wire and transformer. At least these men care about NYSEG's customers.
I guess from now on when it rains and the wind blows, causing hazardous conditions, I'll have to call the local fire department.
Contract renewed
TO THE EDITOR: As a Peru Central School taxpayer, I feel compelled to inform the Peru community of the latest action taken by the current School Board at a special meeting held on Monday, June 17.
The intention of the meeting was to do an annual review of the superintendent. This review was completed prior to the superintendent completing a full year of employment.
The board took action to extend his current 3-year contract to a 5-year contract as well as giving him a 2.5 percent pay increase.
Why did the board do this? Why would any School Board extend a contract to this extent when he hasn't even completed a full year of employment?
I have heard nothing but negative comments from employees and students regarding the organization and the restructuring of daily operations under his direction.
This is the same school where extensive cuts to programs have occurred, as well as the elimination of 19 faculty/staff positions.
These cuts will lead to packed classrooms with limited educational opportunity in a time when the state of New York expects so much from our kids. I am concerned for the general education process at what once was a reputable North Country school.
It is time to get involved and let your voice be heard concerning the actions of the Peru Central School Board. Please attend the next board meeting.

Research Opportunities
Research is an important part of any science degree. It helps the student to understand the scientific method and to apply the concepts learned in lecture classes. The science faculty is working to provide all students with an earlier introduction into research by bringing more research projects into introductory level science classes. In addition students can apply for NASA fellowships that provide the student with a small stipend for doing research on the CSM campus or INBRE fellowships to do research at one of the local research universities. The number of CSM students involved in research activities is increasing. Many of their projects result in presentations at local or national meetings.
Many of our students participate in tutoring activities, either as a peer tutor or as a student seeking help. All CSM students can seek help from peer tutors in our Achievement Center and math and science students are always in demand as peer tutors. In addition to the Achievement Center, tutors are provided specifically for math and science students through the NSF grant that supports the Marie Curie Scholars Program. Upper level math and science students act as tutors for STEM majors in their first and second year math and science courses. These tutors can be found in the Achievement Center or in the Science Building.
First Year Seminar
All first time college students are required to take a First Year Seminar during their first semester. One section of First Year Seminar, Science and Social Issues, is devoted to math and science majors. In 2009 the topic of the seminar was the pandemic flu. In 2010 the topic will be global water issues with a major component being the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The seminar provides first year students with a chance to get to know other first year students through group projects and discussions in a more relaxed setting.
Summer Research Opportunities
Students are encouraged to apply for summer undergraduate research opportunities at larger universities. Many of the local universities offer such programs: Creighton University, University of Nebraska Omaha, University of Nebraska Lincoln, and University of Nebraska Medical Center. Other universities offer such programs and flyers that are received are posted in the student lounge in the Science Building. In addition to these opportunities two CSM students are selected during their sophomore year to participate in the Nebraska INBRE Scholars program. This program provides students with a sizeable stipend for two years and the opportunity to work in a major research lab at one of the area universities during the summer.
Students currently participating in summer research opportunities or internships are:

Man in Wheelchair Robbed at Walgreens
A man in a wheelchair just trying to shop at a Sarasota Walgreens overnight Tuesday was punched and robbed outside the store by a couple who are now being sought by the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
A man and a woman approached the 45-year-old victim as he came out of store just after midnight Tuesday and attempted to buy his prescriptions, but he had only purchased over-the-counter allergy medicine, according to the sheriff's office.
When the victim attempted to get into his car, the male suspect tried to grab the man's satchel from around his neck, authorities said. When he couldn't pull the satchel away, the suspect hit the victim multiple times in the face before fleeing.
The suspects, seen in surveillance footage, are still wanted by authorities.

A woman faces criminal mischief and possible hate crime charges after deputies say she yelled racial slurs at another woman at the Land O' Lakes McDonald's, then hit her car with a skateboard.
According to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, the victim said she almost hit a woman on a skateboard as she pulled into the drive-thru because she didn't see her.
The woman on the skateboard, Jasmine Spring Hobbs, 19, began yelling at the driver, using expletives and racial slurs, according to the report. Then Hobbs grabbed the skateboard and slammed it against the roof of the car.
Hobbs was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, with a recommended hate crime charge.
A Sarasota nurse is charged with ordering 11,100 Oxycodone pills through her employer's suppliers for personal use, according to the Sheriff's County Sheriff's Office.
Evelyn Kay Weisenborn, 59, a registered nurse at Premier Surgery Center, was out sick on July 11 when a package arrived at the office. Employees there noticed it was for Oxycodone, a drug the center does not prescribe for its patients, and contacted the sheriff's office.
Investigators found Weisenborn had ordered 111 bottles of pills from January 2010 through July 2012 without her supervisor's knowledge, according to the affidavit.
She was arrested Monday and charged with 54 counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud.
Police: Man Removed Victim's Oxygen Mask
A Largo man is accused of removing an elderly person's required oxygen mask, Largo Police said.
According to the arrest affidavit, James Tadlock, 46, allegedly "removed (the) required oxygen mask by jerking it off of (the victim's) face. This caused a minor abrasion on the tip of (the victim's) ear. (Tadlock) then grabbed on (the victim's) arms causing minor red marks that were visible."
Tadlock was arrested Jan. 26 and charged with aggravated battery on an elderly person (domestic). His relationship to the victim, who was older than 65, wasn't made public by authorities.
Prison Escapee Caught at Chuck E. Cheese's
A prisoner who reportedly escaped from a work-release facility in Tarpon Springs earlier this month was arrested over the weekend at a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Anthony Pruitt, 22, had eluded capture for more than a week before he was arrested last Saturday afternoon at the Chuck E. Cheese's at 1024 58th St. N. in St. Petersburg.
Pruitt faces new charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. He had been serving a sentence for burglary, grand theft and cocaine possession and was scheduled to be released in April.
Chicken Bone Leads to Attack on Woman
A Holiday man was arrested over the weekend and accused of attacking a woman after finding a chicken bone in soup, according to Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
The woman told a deputy that Charles Hynson, 53, found a chicken bone in her homemade soup Friday and got angry, according to an arrest report. He flipped over the living room table. Then he grabbed her out of the chair she had been sitting in and threw her to the floor. He sat on top of her while striking her in the head.
The woman sustained scratches and bruising to the chin, head and face and abrasions to her knees.
Hynson was located Saturday at Sally's Double D Saloon in Holiday and arrested.
A Land O' Lakes woman was arrested Tuesday after deputies say she had sex with a teenager in her car.
Alexis Anne Colson, 37, arranged to meet the 16-year-old boy at a specific location on Jan. 22, then transported him to another location, where they had sex in her vehicle, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
An unidentified person discovered suspicious text messages on a phone lent to the teen, according to the arrest report.
The teen also provided a pair of black lace underwear, which he said were given to him by Colson.
Colson is charged with unlawful sexual activity with a minor and with sending harmful electronic transmissions to a minor.

Daily Star
---- —
One day this past week while I was in between grueling loads of homework and college application stuff (I say stuff because there are no other words to describe that process), I decided to relax and tune into one of my favorite shows, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."
No, this review is not all about how intelligent and hilarious I believe Stewart to be (although I do) and how everyone should watch his show (although you should).
Rather, this is about one of the books that Jon Stewart plugged on his show, and being the ever-faithful audience member that I am, I immediately pulled up my Kindle and bought it without even really knowing what it was about.
I decided to read it anyway and was immediately engrossed.
The book, titled "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)" was written by Mindy Kaling, a writer and actress on the successful TV comedy "The Office."
I believe this book to be not an autobiography, but a memoir, which follows Kaling through all of her major milestones, from her childhood, to being an unemployed writer in New York City, attempting "Saturday Night Live," and eventually her experiences on "The Office" and becoming semi-famous.
This book is hysterical. There is no other way for me to describe it.
And I am definitely not saying this because I am an avid fan of "The Office" and am just completely biased when it comes to all of their writers' work.
Although I've watched episodes of the show, I've never regularly watched it and so I started reading the book completely objectively.
The good news is that you don't need to have any prior knowledge about Mindy Kaling before reading this book.
If you do, consider reading this to learn more about her.
If you don't know anything about her, you may be thinking, "But, Maggie, why should I read this book about someone I've never even heard of before?"
Well, dear reader, I will tell you why.
Everything Kaling writes about, from her awkward pubescent trials with friends, to her discouraging attempts to break into the comedy business, are totally interesting and slightly self-deprecating.
If you are not into sarcasm and quick wit, this is sadly not the book (nor the column) for you.
Kaling's writing flows very well from one subject to another, and she writes as if you were sitting on her couch sharing a cup of tea and reminiscing about every uncomfortable occurrence in your life, but in a good, "safe place" kind of way.
She presents her story in an unassuming tone and by the time you turn the last page, you feel as if you've made a new confidante.
What I enjoyed most about this memoir is how fully Kaling is able to embrace the fact that she is an unconventional person.
You might not be able to tell, but I too feel as though I may be slightly unusual.
Don't laugh and shake your head. You most likely are, too.
Throughout the book, Kaling addresses her body shape and how she deals with overwhelming pressures to succumb to the ideal body image. Chances are that most of us will never look like whoever it is on the cover of tabloids.
And although Kaling portrays her self-consciousness during many different times in her life, today she is a prime example of a healthy, successful woman who has worked hard for where she is now.
And where is she now? She's being talked about by yours truly, of course. Isn't that where every aspiring comedic writer wants to end up?
No? Well, she has also written one terrific book summarizing a life still very much in progress, and if it continues in the same way, it should serve for a great "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns): Part Two."
Go ahead and pick it up. When you finish it, you could always regift it and share the hilarity. What else were you going to get your sister for the holidays?

The Packers have a long time to enjoy their big, statement win on Thursday night over the rival Bears. Thanks to Green Bay's appeal to prime-time audiences, the Packers get an extra-long break, as they don't play again until Monday night in Week Three.
The unusually long break between games gives the Packers 10 days before they have to head to Seattle, always a tough place to play. A normal bye week gives a team 13 days between games.
With the new Thursday-night schedule starting in Week One (it was Wednesday this season because of the Democratic National Convention), we'll start to see more teams get what is essentially a mini bye week. The 49ers (Thursday-night game in Week Seven, Monday-night game in Week Eight), Chiefs (Weeks Nine-10) and Redskins (Weeks 12-13) will get the benefit of an extra few days between games thanks to back-to-back prime-time games.
Even with Thursday-night games starting midseason the past two years, we've seen multiple teams get this break, however it doesn't necessarily lead to more success on the field. Here's a look at the seven teams that have had a Monday-night game following a Thursday-night game in the past two seasons.
1. Falcons / Weeks 15-16, 2011 — The Falcons put a Thursday-night hurt on the Jaguars in Week 15 last season, 41-14. Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes and Roddy White and Julio Jones combined for 220 receiving yards. The extra days of preparation appeared key for a Falcons team looking to upset the Saints in the Superdome in Week 16, which would keep at least a share of a division title within reach, but the Saints were having none of that. Drew Brees tossed four TD passes in a 45-16 romp over Atlanta that included 21 unanswered points from the Saints.
2. Steelers / Weeks 14-15, 2011 — The Steelers won their fourth consecutive game in Week 14, topping the Browns 14-3 in an ugly game on Thursday night. The extra days rest were important considering the Steelers had to head cross-country and face a physical 49ers club, but the mini-bye didn't do the Steelers any good. San Fran showed what it was capable of on a national stage, dominating the Steelers 20-3 on "Monday Night Football."
3. Seahawks / Weeks 13-14, 2011 — The Seahawks started a three-game win streak thanks to back-to-back prime-time games. On Thursday night, the 4-7 Seahawks got their fifth win by upsetting an unraveling Eagles team 31-14. Marshawn Lynch ran for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Seattle picked off Philly backup QB Vince Young four times. The following Monday night, the Seahawks topped the woeful Rams 30-13 behind a 115-yard rushing output from Lynch.
4. Texans / Weeks 13-14, 2010 — Houston was a year shy of being ready for the prime-time stage. On Thursday night, they dropped to 5-7 on the season, losing to the Eagles 34-24, giving up 302 passing yards and 48 rushing yards to Michael Vick. On Monday night, they played a spirited game against a Ravens team that jumped out to a 28-7 lead. Houston fought back to force overtime, but Josh Wilson intercepted Matt Schaub in overtime, returning it 12 yards for the win and overshadowing a 393-yard passing night for Schaub.
5. Jets and Patriots / Weeks 12-13, 2010 — The Jets and Pats both played on Thanksgiving in 2010, then met up the following Monday night, so both teams had the extra days to prep for the big divisional matchup. On Thanksgiving, the Jets topped the Bengals 26-10 and the Patriots thumped the Lions 45-24. In a highly anticipated Monday-night game, the Patriots seemed to use their extended break between games in a more efficient manner, as they dominated, winning 45-3 behind four Tom Brady touchdowns. The Jets got the last laugh in the playoffs, though, eliminating the Patriots in the divisional round.
6. Saints / Weeks One-Two, 2010 — The Saints opened the 2010 season on Thursday night in a rematch of the previous season's NFC title game, and they beat the Vikings in a low-scoring affair, 14-9. New Orleans got the mini-bye early in the season, getting extra rest before a Monday-nighter against the 49ers in San Francisco. Drew Brees' 30-yard completion to Marques Colston set up Garrett Hartley's 37-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Saints a 25-22 victory.

Barker's son admits porn charge
1:35pm Friday 28th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
The son of comedian Ronnie Barker, who spent eight years on the run, has admitted possession of child pornography.
Adam Barker, 44, was arrested in 2003 but failed to answer bail and was believed to have fled to France.
In 2005, police said they would allow him to attend his father's funeral if he handed himself in, but he failed to return to the UK.
Barker was arrested in July after attending a police station in west London by appointment.
He admitted 18 counts of making indecent images of children at Isleworth Crown Court, a member of the west London's court staff said, and will be sentenced at the same court on October 19.
The comedian's youngest son was arrested in 2003 when a computer seized from his home in Ealing, west London, was found to have thousands of indecent images of children on it.
At previous court appearances, it was revealed that two images were level five - the highest category - while 24 were at level four.

Small Bite, Big Taste: And the Winner is....

On the final day of Slow Fish, a panel of judges convened at a waterfront bar at the Porto Antico in Genoa to judge the finalists of the Small Bite, Big Taste recipe competition which called on its network to send in their best anchovy-based recipes and bring back this little fish to our plates, threatened by overfishing in some parts of the world where it is fished as animal feed.
The eclectic and geographically diverse panel comprised Patricia Majluf from Peru; Harald Sakarias Hansen, an activist from Norway; Virginia Paracino, a student from the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy; Miguel Vargas, a fisherman and indigenous rights activist from Chile; and Tiberio Scozzafava-Jaeger, an environmental researcher with the University of Berlin. They sampled five dishes, presented by the Slow Food Youth Network, including spinach pasta with tomatoes, anchovies and pine nuts; anchovies with tomato on a chickpea flatbread called cecina; crêpes filled with mushrooms and anchovies and fried onions with sage and anchovies, but declared the winner anchovies with Genoese basil on bread, submitted by Leonardo Mastragostino, the leader of the Mugello and Levante Fiorentino Convivium in Tuscany. "Simple and fantastic," declared the judges, saying that the combination of the fresh pesto and salty anchovies could not be improved on.
Anchovies with Genoese Pesto
Makes 10 "small bites"
2 garlic cloves
50-60 g basil leaves, not washed but cleaned with a cloth
coarse sea salt
1 tbsp pine nuts
2 tbsps grated pecorino cheese
5-6 tbsps grated Parmesan cheese
100 ml extra-virgin olive oil
20 anchovy fillets, in oil or salted (if salted, wash under running water)
10 small slices of wholemeal bread
Using a marble mortar and a wooden pestle, grind first the garlic, then the basil, a few grains of salt and the pine nuts. Gradually add the cheeses and olive oil.
Just before serving, arrange 2 anchovy fillets on each slice of bread and cover with pesto.

For anyone who has ever taken a look at Montgomery County's budget—or a tax bill—and wondered: "Where does all the money go?" or "What were they thinking?" Thursday is a chance to get your questions answered.
The Montgomery County Council will host a forum on the next county operating budget at 7:30 p.m. in the third floor council hearing room of the Stella B. Werner County Council Building, at 100 Maryland Ave. in Rockville.
Can't make it to the forum? It will be carried live by County Cable Montgomery (Channel 6 on Comcast and RCN, Channel 30 on Verizon) and streamed on the county website at http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov.
The 90-minute-long forum will include a presentation on the challenges county officials face and time for questions and comments.
"The past few years have been [as] economically challenging for the county as they have been for individuals, families, and businesses all across the country," Council President Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Potomac said in a council news release. "The upcoming year's operating budget looks like it will be no less difficult."
County departments are already working on the budget for fiscal 2014, which begins July 1. County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) will propose the budget in March. The council must adopt the budget by June 1.
Among the challenges facing the council are changes to the state's maintenance of effort school funding law, which requires per-pupil spending to remain the same or increase from one fiscal year to the next. The General Assembly also voted, during a three-day special session in May, to shift some of the cost of teacher pensions to the counties.
The pension shift and funding law change mean slight variations in state aid for schools, in county tax revenues and in student enrollment could have significant, long-term impacts on the county budget, the county's Office of Legislative Oversight concluded in an analysis presented to the council last month.
"It is essential for the council to understand how legislative changes at the state level will impact the county's operating budget in fiscal year 2014 and how these changes will impact the county's ability to fund government services over time," Councilwoman Valerie Ervin (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring, who chairs the council's Education Committee, said in the release. "This budget forum is an opportunity for the council to share information with community organizations throughout the county and to discuss how state budget decisions impact services at the local level."
