NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
People and companies continue to place financial gain over concern for sacred sites of our native people.
There are now plans to destroy the Kiowa Indian tribe's sacred Longhorn Mountain for the gravel that can be stripped from it. I am appalled, and others should be, also.
I am a disabled combat veteran and am proud to have served with my Native American comrades, from practically every tribe in Oklahoma, that served so honorably in the famed 45th division in the Korean War and World War II.
In memory of those that were wounded and died, we need to place every effort to preserve those things sacred to their people.
Many of us in Oklahoma have the blood of native people flowing through our veins. I am proud that my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have this heritage and can be proud of it.
Contacts and petitions are being made to federal and state officials and legislatures that ask them "to protect Longhorn Mountain by recognizing it as a historical and Native American sacred site." I ask all Oklahomans to support this cause.

Beginning today, July 2nd, 2013 - trades will be conducted in a different way.
All trades will now be processed by the Commissioner.
Trades must be posted in this thread: 2013-14 Trade Announcements
GMs for all teams involved in the trade must confirm the trade in the Trade Announcements thread. One GM should post the trade and the 2nd GM should quote that post and confirm the trade, if it's a 3-way trade - the 3rd GM must also confirm. Trades will NOT be processed until all teams have confirmed.
Post should like something like this:
Trade to announce:
From Miro Satan's Army:
Eric Tangradi
2015 1st round pick (Miro Satan's Army)
Sheldon Souray
To the Springfield Isotopes in exchange for:
Zack Kassian
Steve Downie
2014 3rd round pick (Nouka)
The Commissioner will check the Trade Announcements thread at least once daily (probably more) and process the trades as soon as possible.
What this means for our GMs is that they will actually have to communicate with their fellow GMs and discuss the offers. This can be done either via email or PMs here on this site. This also means that we are trusting our GMs to respond within a reasonable time period to any offers they receive and to any further discussion around that offer. 48 hours is a reasonable time.
If you make a habit of not responding within the 48 hour time frame, you run the risk of losing your team. We want our GMs to be active and present. Non-particpating/non-communicating GMs harm the league and we are striving to make this a premium, top league.
As a GM you should be checking the posts in the league forum on FantasyHockeyCoach.com on a regular basis. At least every few days or so during the off-season and a daily or every other day basis during the regular season.
The 2013-14 Trade Block and Trade Rumours should be used by our GMs to post the players and picks that are available as well as what your team is looking for in trade.

After reading the letter "Pipeline foes have bad manners" in Friday's Daily Star, it seems apparent that the writer is poorly informed, and was undoubtedly dismayed to learn that most area residents, and nearly all of those who filled the 775-seat Foothills Performing Arts Center at the FERC hearing, oppose the proposed "Constitution" pipeline. Just three people in the first three hours spoke in favor of the pipeline.
The writer needs to be reminded that high-radon shale-gas is not the only alternative local residents have to fuel oil. In fact, considering that at a population density of 33 people per square mile (in Delaware County), the cost of installing the hundreds, if not thousands, of miles of small delivery lines and the infrastructure required makes supplying gas to the homes of county residents a pure fantasy.
In more dense population centers like Delhi, Sidney, Walton and Oneonta, this would be more cost-effective. Of course some of these communities are already served with gas — yet another reason the claimed purpose of this pipeline is redundant.
The writer's weak attempt at linking Otsego County's "highest percentage of people below the poverty line of any other central New York state county," with the fact that the county does not have a 30-inch, high-radon, shale-gas pipeline is another poorly formed opinion, and not based on reality.
All that said, it appears that one point Sustainable Otsego and the writer can probably agree on is that a plan is needed to, "Give the people of Otsego much-needed future jobs, tax revenue and clean, affordable energy," which is something Sustainable Otsego has been working toward since the group's inception. I suggest the writer educate herself on these issues before offering opinions that are far outside the mainstream.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels."

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

This trip was as good as the last trip we did with Kensington, could'nt have been any better. Our guides were excellent, especially Gerald.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

They say everything is bigger in Texas. Longhorn football is no exception.
When No. 8 West Virginia (4-0) runs onto the FieldTurf surface of Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday, it will be greeted by more than 100,000 fans of the No. 11 Texas Longhorns (4-0) looking to make their visit to the Lonestar State miserable.
That's more than 40,000 more than watched WVU defeat Baylor in the first Big 12 game for the Mountaineers and close to 5,000 more than the largest crowd to ever watch a WVU football game.
In 1991, the Mountaineers played in front of 96,445 fans at Penn State, but the majority of the players on this year's team weren't even born at that time.
Some of the current juniors and seniors played in front of 92,575 at LSU in 2010, but with so many young contributors on this year's team, Saturday's contest will be a completely new experience.
It's not just the numbers that make a home game in Austin special. There's Bevo, the school's longhorn steer mascot, "The Eyes of Texas," the school song, Hook 'em Horns, the school's hand signal, and Smokey the Cannon, fired in celebration of every score.
"Probably one of the best environments that exists in college football is in Austin, Texas," said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen, who has played against the Longhorns as an assistant at both Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. "I've been there five or six times and will be able to lay it out to (our players) a little bit."
But Holgorsen doesn't seem worried about how his team will respond.
"The one thing that's so cool about being at West Virginia is that these kids don't really care much about that," he said. "They've played in BCS games, they've played, over the course of the last three or four years, at LSU and Auburn. They've been at some places and been in some big games. Our guys are excited about being a part of that.
"I can assure you they won't be intimidated. But it will be a huge challenge."
n n n
Holgorsen especially isn't worried about his quarterback, Geno Smith, who he said, "isn't fazed by anything."
Smith wasn't intimidated at LSU, nearly leading the Mountaineers to victory, and he more than rose to the occasion in the Orange Bowl against Clemson, leading WVU to a 70-33 victory.
Smith, listed as the frontrunner on most Heisman Trophy lists, is having a record-setting season, but he's still looking for more.
"He doesn't take anything for granted," said Holgorsen. "He's harder on himself than anybody is. It doesn't matter if it's a game or a practice. We give him an iPad, and after practice or after games he goes in and he studies it. He's just a student of the game. He'd rather do that than a whole lot of other stuff. He'll probably come in and give us a list of things wrong (against Baylor) before he watches the tape with us. That's just the way it is."
Even when there's not an opponent, Smith is usually still watching tape.
"He came in this summer and got a bunch of NFL tape on his iPad," the coach remembered. "Aaron Rodgers is a guy he's studied. Tom Brady he studied. Drew Brees he studied. If we don't have an opponent to look at, he'll look at some NFL guys to see if he can pick some things up."
But Holgorsen was quick to point out that Smith's success is about much more than his own talent.
"There's a lot of reasons why things are working the way they are," he said. "In addition to those guys, the o-line is playing tremendous. Joey Madsen probably had his best game since he's been here, and he's going on being a four-year starter. (Jeff) Braun and (Josh) Jenkins are going to be four-year starters. We have some pretty good experience up front.
"We're doing a good job on third downs," Holgorsen continued. "We're leading the country at over 60 percent on third-down efficiency — Texas is right behind us at 58 percent, by the way. I think the key to that is manageable third downs. We were a lot better on third downs (against Baylor) than we were (against Maryland), because (against the Terrapins), we got ourselves behind the chains a lot. Converting third-and-3 or third-and-4 is a whole heck of a lot easier than converting third-and-12."

The relationship between working memory and speech were explained by a local speech therapist at the August meeting of the Long Creek Community Development Club.
Heather Boldin, a speech pathologist at Clarkdale Attendance Center, began her presentation by asking the club, "Have you ever walked into the kitchen and wondered, 'What on earth did I come into this room for?'"
Surprisingly, a lot of "young" people experience this. "Whether you are young or young-at-heart, improving memory is only a few steps away," Boldin said. "First, you must have an awareness of your forgetfulness in order to make a conscious effort to improve it.
"In addition to treating problems with speech production, language, and swallowing difficulties, a person's short-term memory or other aspects of their cognition can be evaluated and treated by speech therapists if problems exist," she said.
Speech therapists can perform tests on people of all ages.
"For example, an elderly person who has suffered a stroke may need a swallow test done to see if their swallowing muscles are impaired or not," Boldin said.
Other tests include language skills, short term memory skills, and voice therapy for those who have lost the use of their vocal cords for an extended period of time. For example, a person may have had to be on a ventilator for a month or so after surgery.
"It may be difficult for that person to speak after being taken off the ventilator," she said.
Young children may have difficulty speaking if they have certain ear problems during the critical age of speech development. Or, if a child's mouth or palate is irregularly shaped, it may cause developmental difficulties in articulating sounds.
At age 3, children should be able to say words beginning with the sounds "m" and 'p' and advancing to words beginning with the sounds "b," "d," "g," "k," "n" and "t." Boldin works with children at Clarkdale ranging from age 3 to 12th graders, after being evaluated with their parents' permission.
"I have anywhere from 50 to 60 kids that I work with whose academic success is hindered by their disabilities," she said.
Bolding also works at Jeff Anderson Regional Medical Center, Rush Foundation Hospital and Amedisys Home Health as needed. She said she is also gratified by her work outside of the school, especially with her home health patients.
"They may not know what day it is or remember how old I am, but they do remember some things I like," she said. "I have patients who don't get a lot of visitors, so they take my time with them very seriously. Some make sure I have a cold Coke or warm piece of pie waiting. But the best gift of all is witnessing all the people who get better."
So how does Boldin get her patients and students to become better at memory? "There are four techniques," she said.
• Association – associating something new with something you already know. To recall a specific date you can associate it with a national or universal date. For instance, Nov. 25 is one month before Christmas.
• Visualization – forming a picture in your mind's eye of the things you want to remember. A good example for visualization would be to imagine yourself leaving the grocery store with a huge container of milk, if milk is what you needed to buy.
• Repetition and rehearsal – repeating new information to yourself several times. Try spacing out the repetitions over time until you have it nailed. Also, for learning a larger amount of material at one time, break up the material into smaller parts and spread out the studying over several days rather than trying to learn it all at once.
• Compensation – which is simply to "write it down." Important things to write down in a notebook are reference materials such as names, phone numbers and your medications.
After the program, several announcements were made.
Zero Day is scheduled for Sept. 21 at the ball field behind the clubhouse. The annual day event will feature entertainment, craft and informational booths and food.
The cost to set up a booth is $20; call Winky Litchfield at (601) 485-3905 or Rae Carol Enzor at (601) 693-4190.
Long Creek Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department will raffle a Henry Golden Boy 22LR Lever Action rifle. Tickets are available now through Zero Day until the afternoon drawing. Tickets are $5 for one, or $20 for five.
Yard of the Month honors for August went to Larry and Linda Bradley of Mini Farm Road.
The next meeting of the Long Creek Community Development Club is Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. at the clubhouse, which is located at 4892 Zero Road. Participation is free and open to the public. Guest speaker will be a Crisis Intervention Team deputy from the Lauderdale County Sheriff Detention Facility.

Update: After Twitter outrage and a Change.org petition was created, Simmons removed the Harriet Tubman parody video from YouTube and issued an apology on Global Grind. The video is still live on some sites.
Music bizzer and entrepreneur Russell Simmons has teamed with DreamWorks Animation's AwesomenessTV to launch All Def Digital, a new YouTube channel stocked with urban music, comedy and spoken-word programming -- including some edgy material that seems aimed at courting controversy.
"I've worked my entire professional life to promote up-and-coming talent and the new art forms they create and YouTube is the perfect platform for this new generation," Simmons said in a statement. "Just as our talent will benefit from being able to engage directly with their fans, YouTube will benefit from having a network that reflects the incredible diversity of the new America."
Among video series premiering this week on the ad-supported All Def Digital channel -- or ADD for short, a play on "attention deficit disorder" -- is the provocatively outrageous "Harriet Tubman Sex Tape," the first in a series of history-themed comedy sketches.
Other shows slated to debut this week include "Odd World: Mellow High," a music docu series following hip-hop trio MellowHigh; "Dr. Reasons," starring YouTube personality Spoken Reason counseling quirky, troubled couples; and "B-Rock," animated series spoofing the "behind-the-scenes shenanigans" of President Obama as he and his "Commando in Chief alter ego, B-Rock, encounter an endless array of familiar characters."
Comedy programming includes "Blackie Sack," a parody about the first African-American hackysack player, and "Counterfit," animated skein featuring a thuggish antihero. Original music programming, which will ramp up early fall in conjunction with Simmons' All Def Music, will also be a big part of the schedule, while All Def Poetry videos will feature spoken-word performances.
All Def Digital, a partnership between Simmons' Rush Digital Media and AwesomenessTV, will work with partners including GlobalGrind.com, Google and YouTube. ADD's original content is produced at AwesomenessTV's West Los Angeles studio.
DreamWorks Animation acquired AwesomenessTV, a digital media firm formed by TV producer Brian Robbins that was incubated inside United Talent Agency, in a deal worth up to $117 million in May.

Florida Bungalow Rentals with Online Booking(104)
104 Results
Recent Florida Reviews
We rented the historic bungalow during the week of July 4th for my daughter's wedding at the Casa Monica Hotel. The grooms immediate family occupied the house including two toddlers and a baby. From the very beginning we were so thankful for the flexible rental dates. It seemed as if most rentals in the area rent from Sat. to Sat. This certainly didn't work for us because the wedding was on a Sat. We were able to rent from Sun. to Sun. which worked out perfectly. Everyone was very impressed and didn't expect the house to be as nice as it was. Pride of ownership is evident, very clean and well kept. The house is centrally located and within walking distance to many attractions. Rob was extremely helpful from the very beginning. We truly felt as if we had our own personal concierge. What great customer service, Thank you Rob & Lisa!
We had one of the best vacations of our lives! The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to make us feel right at home. The island was beautiful and we had a blast on the beach. The beach was gorgeous and the water was perfect! We would love to visit again someday! Thanks Cheryl and Pat! :)
My family have just returned from a 2-week break. All 6 adults and 2 children (4 and 18 months) enjoyed the comfort of Craig's lovely home. The property is in a great location within easy reach of the attractions. It was lovely to come back to a private pool so that the family could relax and enjoy some "down-time" with the kids. The layout of the house is fantastic which allowed our grand children (in particular our grandson) to enjoy the freedom of moving around the large open spaces. Would definitely recommend.

In beach communities, the outdoor kitchen is a much prized
amenity. Making outdoor cooking, eating, and cleanup as convenient
as they are indoors can be a challenge. This month, Kalamazoo
Gourmet is rolling out another high-powered weapon for the high-end
barbecue arsenal: an outdoor dishwasher to accompany
Kalamazoo's other specialty appliances (grills, fridges, and
even a pizza oven or a wok-ready cooktop).
With stainless steel finish and an adjustable wash system to
accommodate large pots and pans, Kalamazoo says the new unit is
specially designed for the rigors of outdoor cookery and outdoor
exposures. For more information, check the company's website:

Dixie Carter
Real Name
Dixie Carter
Date of Birth
October 6, 1964
Place of Birth
While rumors of their demise are swirling rapidly around the promotion, TNA has opted to continue with business. Dixie Carter has announced that the company has signed Chris Melendez to a multiple year contract. The Purple Heart award recipient only has one leg because of injuries suffered while serving the country in Afghanistan. The move should bring about some positive press for TNA.
July 30, 2014
While a lot of fans bashed TNA for paying big bucks to Hulk Hogan over the years, his true value is coming out as Dixie Carter is having some trouble trying to secure a new television deal for Impact Wrestling. Hogan's name value helped open a lot of doors in business for the company, and his absence has made it a bit harder to sell networks on their product.
July 29, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Vince McMahon would be interested in purchasing the TNA library to add to his WWE Network. It could simply just be all speculation right now, as the company has been focused on cutting back their spending because of how much money has been lost over the last several months. Obviously, no negotiations have taken place since Dixie Carter is still trying to find a new television deal for Impact Wrestling.
July 29, 2014
Since rumors broke out about Spike TV canceling Impact Wrestling, TNA officials had to react quickly to prevent their performers from panicking. Dixie Carter and her staff sent out emails to the wrestlers to let them know that the rumors were not true. She reiterated to the crew that negotiations were still ongoing with the network, and the show should remain on television.
July 29, 2014
In a landscape changing bit of news, it is now being reported by TMZ that Spike TV officials have informed TNA that they will not be renewing their television for Impact Wrestling, which means that Dixie Carter and company are now scrambling to find a new home. People in the industry know that without a national television deal, it is hard for a company to maintain and grow.
July 28, 2014
TNA might have finally found a formula that works with these latest episodes of Impact Wrestling. The shows taped in New York City have been drawing in a much better audience than normal. Dixie Carter and her crew are said to be quite pleased that they're coming close to reaching 1.5 million viewers a week now. Something like this may entice management to change up their booking style.
July 26, 2014
While doing a podcast interview with Jim Ross, Kurt Angle revealed some very interest details on his contract situation. The former world heavyweight champion noted that his deal with TNA expires on September 21. Dixie Carter wants him to stick around and has put a new contract on the table. Angle revealed that he has yet to sign it because he wants to keep his options open. His next contract will be his last in wrestling, so he wants to see if WWE would be willing to give him a final run.
July 9, 2014
Wrestle-1 ran a live event this week, and a couple of TNA stars were on hand for the show. Rockstar Spud, Ethan Carter, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards were all sent to Japan by Dixie Carter to participate. Great Muta even teamed up with Spud and Carter in a match. The belief is that we will be seeing more talent exchange situations between the two companies for the foreseeable future.
July 7, 2014
You can expect to see more of Seiya Sanada on Impact Wrestling over the next few months. The former TNA X Division Champion has decided to sign another contract with Dixie Carter that will ensure that he remains in the United States until at least the end of the year. Sanada also has a deal with the Great Muta, so he will be venturing back overseas for tours with Wrestle-1 as well. The rumored deal has been finalized.
July 7, 2014
When Seiya Sanada first joined TNA, the belief was that he was only temporarily here in the United States to boost his credibility with fans in Japan. However, since the relationship has worked out well for all sides, there are talks now of Sanada sticking around for a bit. A joint contract between the former X division champion, Great Muta and Dixie Carter is being discussed that will keep Sanada in the US a bit longer.
July 4, 2014
A couple of days ago, it was revealed that Dixie Carter and company would do a big announcement in London. A lot of speculations floated around, including the possibility of doing an overseas tournament there. However, signs are pointing to a new television show instead for TNA. It would be designed specifically for their fans in England and the surrounding areas.
July 3, 2014
In the very near future, Dixie Carter will be leaving TNA. It's not what you think, however. Her character is being written off of television. Carter feels that the time has come to move on and focus solely on her work behind the scenes. She was hesitant to take on the role in the first place, but many within TNA felt that she could generate a lot of heat from the blind hatred that she has from her critics.
July 2, 2014
There were rumors floating around recently that Ezekiel Jackson was signed to a contract by TNA. That has turned out to be false, as the company does not currently have any long term plans for the former WWE star. There is a chance that Dixie Carter might bring him in here and there, but nothing permanent has been discussed. Jackson is also rumored to be a candidate to join Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling.
July 2, 2014
Over the last several weeks, TNA has been generating quite the buzz, including a big announcement by Dixie Carter and Great Muta about doing Bound For Glory 2014 in Japan. Now, the company is hyping up a huge announcement that will be taking place at the London Film and Comic Con event. No official word yet on what the announcement will be, but some are speculation that TNA could be doing a pay per view in England soon.
June 30, 2014
For a short period of time there, Tommy Dreamer and Dixie Carter worked online wrestling fans into believing that there was real backstage heat between the two. That led many to wonder if Dreamer was still going to be working for TNA. At the recent Impact Wrestling taping, Dreamer continued to work as a backstage agent for the company. The belief is that he will remain in that role for the foreseeable future.
June 29, 2014
Much has been made online by fans about TNA not being able to draw in big crowds for their live events. The recent Impact Wrestling shows in Bethlehem, however, managed to draw in more than 1000 fans each night. Dixie Carter and company are said to be quite pleased with the results and want to return to the area more frequently. However, the company is pretty much booked up until the fall.
June 27, 2014
It's going to be a busy day at the Korakuen Hall on October 12th. Dixie Carter and the Great Muta are not the only people hosting a wrestling pay per view at that venue. New Japan Pro Wrestling will also be doing an internet pay per view there as well. The belief is that one of the shows, most likely Bound For Glory 2014, will be taped in the afternoon.
June 26, 2014
The announcement by Dixie Carter and Great Muta turned out to be much bigger than initially expected. Some thought the two were just going to reveal that more Japanese wrestlers were coming to the states to work TNA shows. However, the two shocked the wrestling world by announcing that Bound For Glory 2014 will be taking place in Japan. Muta is expected to play a big part in setting everything up for TNA over in Tokyo.
June 25, 2014
A bit of a buzz was created for Cryme Tyme over the weekend, thanks to an interview on TMZ, where Shad Gaspard and JTG informed the fans that they are now teaming up again on the independent wrestling circuit. Gaspard decided to fan the flames even further when he posted on Twitter that the duo should contact Dixie Carter about perhaps signing a contract with TNA.
June 23, 2014
Later on tonight, TNA will be announcing the results of their poll to determine which ring the company will be using from this point forward. The belief is that they will be switching back to the six sided ring, something that a lot of fans have been asking for. Dixie Carter mentioned earlier in the week that the voting was heavily skewed towards going back to six sides.

Diner Reviews
The weirdest meal I have had in a
long time - slimy boiled chicken with sodden potatoes swimming in liquid surrounded by large peppers. Don't know what it was trying to achieve but left me cold. Other dishes may be (hopefully) better but won't be going back."
Dined on 7/25/2014
We tried Dobbs Ferry before the
symphony. As mentioned in previous reviews the staff was very friendly; we were treated like special guests. We tried the most popular courses: the rigatoni and flat iron steak. Fantastic!! We shared the liver pate which was superb. Excellent wine choices by the glass. Dobbs Ferry is very conscious about insuring we had plenty of time for the 7:30 performance but did not rush us at all. We had a delightful experience and will return to sample other menu items. We found a terrific restaurant for pre-performance dinners in Civic Center."

The food was wonderful and fairly
priced. The server, Jordan was great, friendly with good recommendations. Will definitely visit again."

pre-concert dinner. Its just 2-3 blocks from Symphony Hall, and we've been able to get reservations the last 2 times we went to a concert. It looks like a combination of pre-concert diners and more neighborhood diners. We had their Special for the night--which was a Petrale Sole stuffed with salmon mousse in a white sauce. It was FABULOUS!!! Came with spinach. The fish was cooked to perfection -- not too dry -- and the sauce was wonderful. Service was excellent."

Our cocktails were awful and we
should have sent them back. The food was ok but our server was nowhere to be found, we kept having to ask the hostess for help. I would never come back here."

Very convenient with attentive,
theatre-time-conscious staff. Nice ambiance -- smallish back room is open and airy feeling due to large (clean!) skylight and atrium garden. Food was good, not great, but very enjoyable."
Dined on 7/3/2014
this & several other restaurants
make up a perfect set of great places to dine if you are going to the opera, the symphony or one of the other local theaters in the areas"
Dined on 7/3/2014
Wine was excellent. Everything
else was excellent. My only quibble is that the special I ordered - breaded pork chop - was disappointing. Pork piece was thin and deep fried. Nice texture but relatively tasteless. I had a very nice time though as I was having a great talk with my niece."
Dined on 7/1/2014
We were actually here twice over
the weekend. Once for drinks and dessert and the other time for a small supper. Both times the service was fantastic. I have to say, the highlight of the two trips was the sweet corn chowder. I can't remember a time when I have enjoyed a soup so much! In fact, I broke a long-standing rule and actually had a 2nd bowl instead of dessert. Yep, I've crossed the two-soup line!"

This place was a good find for
pre-opera dining. Food was very good, and portions were surprisingly large. Next time we may just dine off the appetizer menu, since they have a large variety of interesting stuff there. I knocked one star off service because we were seated 20 minutes late (which made it a little close for our 8pm curtain time), even though our table was sitting there made up and ready for a good 5 minutes before they seated us there. Someone had to come tell the hostess to seat us at the table they had set up for us. Perhaps they were training a new hostess? Our waitress was good, and she did rush things for us when we told her about our curtain time, so we ended up making the opera with a few minutes to spare."

The best meal out in a long time!
First time eating at this restaurant. Came here to celebrate our anniversary. We are definitely coming back, again."
Dined on 6/28/2014
An excellent choice for dining
before a performance! Our pastas were superb and the service was excellent. We will be back soon!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
I came here on a bad night (there
was a lot going on in the area and the parking/traffic was awful), by the time all 4 of us in my party arrived it was almost 45min past our reservation.. The staff handled us with patience and kindness and it made a world of difference. Moving on, the food was great ! I loved what I ate and my friends loved what they ate as well. We left this place happy and full ! We will be back."
Dined on 6/26/2014
This was the ONLY place near Van
Ness and Hayes that provided us with an eating experience worth remembering. The waiters were not rushed; the space was not 'squeezed'; the food was well prepared; the ambiance was relaxed, but not like the Grove across the street. This was truly the best dining experience, especially for the price that we have found in SF. Much better than Absinthe or Hayes Street Grill."
Dined on 6/25/2014
We discovered a new (for us)
dining spot in the Hayes Valley area of SFO. Named Dobbs Ferry for the Westchester, NY town on the Hudson River. It was an excellent choice: there were 3 of us, each ordering different, delectable meals. The beet salad was extraordinary as were the halibut, mushroom ravioli and meatballs. We'll go back the next time we visit."
Dined on 6/23/2014
Took a stab for pre-theater
brunch...absolutely loved. We will return."
Dined on 6/22/2014
We had a drink and a bite at the
bar, then dinner at a table also in the bar area. The food was great; the staff were prompt and efficient; the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming. They got us off to the opera on time, despite some of our party arriving late. Overall, a great experience. We will definitely come back for more."
Dined on 6/21/2014
I would have recommended this
place solely on the strength of its terrific food, but the service and the lengths they went to to surprise and delight us were just amazing. As far as the service goes, this place is in a class by itself. What a find!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
Last minute reservation that
turned out to be a happy surprise. The wait staff was excellent. The service was exceptional but not stuffy. We really enjoyed the personal service that had just the right balance of respectful conversation. The food was hot and well-proportioned. The arancini was to die for!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
very fun, low key but great food,
extremely amicable staff. Hayes Valley is lucky to have this restaurant. Special thanks to Miranda - great work here!"
Dined on 6/20/2014
Excellent preparation and well
presented food. Timely dining pre-performance or leisurely later."
Dined on 6/20/2014
We were warmly greeted at the
door, seated at a quiet table and then experienced some superb first time dishes. We will definitely return."
Dined on 6/20/2014
Seated on time with reservation.
Excellent spot for dining if you have tickets for a shop. Courtesy when greeted and courtesy when seated and served. GM present at all times and greets you at your table, a nice touch. Food was brought timely, tasty, hot and delicious. Done in plenty of time before show started. Highly recommend and rates right with other highly touted restaurants in the immediate area."
Dined on 6/19/2014
Great pre theater find. The staff
was great at reminding us of the time we had left toward the end of our meal and paced us well. Soup, salad, entrees were fabulous! Creative seasonal menu will keep us coming back!"
Dined on 6/18/2014
The service was outstanding and
the food will definitely force you to return."
Dined on 6/17/2014
Made a last min reservation and
was pleasantly surprised. Had a lovely dinner, great atmosphere, friendly service, reasonably priced, what more could you ask for!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
We keep coming back to Dobbs Ferry
whenever we want to have a special dinner before opera or symphony. We did the Dine About Town menu and were not disappointed. The corn soup was terrific and not too creamy, which we liked. The short ribs were so tender they just easily came apart and went well with polenta. The vegetable lasagna was also well prepared. Overall, another terrific experience."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Food was quite good - incredibly
delicious smoked trout brushetta; just enough pasta with chicken parmesan; friend's rigatoni was flavourful. Very nice pineapple ricotta cheesecake. The only downside was the evening's hostess - she seemed to really not care that we were first timers. She would rather have had me sit at the bar and wait for my friend instead of being seated - we had early reservations and there were plenty of open tables. I opted for the table."
Dined on 6/14/2014
The food was wonderful with some
great choices. Service was exceptional: they really paid attention to getting our order to us so that we would be able to be on time for an 8 o'clock performance at the opera house. We will definitely return to Dobbs Ferry!"
Dined on 6/13/2014
Outstanding service and setting
outshine the food which was okay but not a place foodies would search out. I would recommend this for a bite before a Civic Center performance but not venue to put on a list of top bistros."
Dined on 6/12/2014
We're always looking for places to
eat before a symphony concert, or Opera performance, so Dobb's Ferry fits the bill; good food, prompt service, and location. We'll be back."

The Oskaloosa Herald
POINT LOOKOUT, Mo. —
When the top two teams in NAIA meet for the national championship, chances are it will be a back-and-forth affair.
That was the case Tuesday night when top-ranked William Penn faced off against No. 2 Cardinal Stritch in the final game of the 2012-13 season at Keeter Gym.
Neither team had more than a six points and the lead changed hands four times in the first half.
But the second half belonged to the Wolves as they held the Statesmen to just 23 points in the final 20 minutes as Cardinal Stritch won its first national title in school history with a 73-59 victory.
The Wolves (35-3) won the game from the free-throw line as they converted 20 of 25 of their tries from the charity stripe.
The 34-2 Statesmen recorded just eight field goals on 36 attempts in the second half and never regained the lead. They finished the game making 32.4 percent of their shots on 23-for-71 shooting.
William Penn had two players named to the all-tournament team in Keith Steffeck and Brandon Beasley.
Beasley led William Penn with 23 points and eight rebounds while Steffeck had 12 points and grabbed six rebounds. Blake Walker tallied seven points and had eight rebounds.
"This is a special group," William penn coach John Henry said. "I've had some very special teams and this one is definitely at the top of the list. I feel bad for them. My heart is bleeding.
It's been a wonderful, wonderful ride. It's sad we had to lose, but Cardinal Stritch is very good. They slowed us down and it was the first time we've been held in the 50s. I'm not depressed we lost, but it's sad it's over. What's been a wonderful run it's been."
Cardinal Stritch was paced by Darren Moore, who was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, with 21 points and seven rebounds. Jeremy D'Amico scored 12 points Derek Semenas had 11 points and seven rebounds.
More details can be found in Thursday's Herald.

"And you know something- I am terribly offended by this add. Those are NOT elfen ears. Those are goblin ears. Elfen ears are smaller and more dainty. And a strawberry milkshake? That should be chocolate!"
I went back and took a second look at the ad, Bridgette P. LaVictoire you are absolutely correct. Those ears are definitely goblin ears! The shame of it all.
OMM really needs to go and get a life all their protest achieved was bringing attention to an ad I would have never seen and the wrong ears on three "elves".
I also vote for a chocolate shake.

The surprise box office hit of the year so far, "The Lego Movie" deserves every accolade chucked its way, in my opinion. It's funny, subversive, visually distinctive and way smarter than family entertainment is required to be. The music is great, too. The kids and I have been humming the movie's theme song – Tegan and Sara's "Everything Is Awesome" – for three straight weeks.
Now comes the inevitable tie-in video game, cleverly titled "The Lego Movie Videogame" ($49.99/Rated E-10), and it's threatening to devour still more pop culture bandwidth at the old homestead. I can write all sorts of nice things about the game – in fact, I'm about to – but the salient point for parents will be that my two grade school kids have been playing nonstop since they opened the game disc package.
If it ain't broke …
Crossover between movies and video games has been happening forever, but the Lego situation is particularly complex. The new movie is not based on the construction toy itself so much as it is on the popular Lego video game franchise. Those games, in turn, are often built around other movie franchises like "Star Wars," "Batman," "Lord of the Rings," etc. So the new multiplatform title is actually – deep breath – a game based on a movie based on games based on movies.
Fans of the previous Lego titles from TT Games will find the new adventure is very familiar in structure and approach. But you know what they say about things that ain't broke. The game shuttles you from scene to scene in a linear fashion, with some limited open-world options if you just want to run around and explore.
The story follows the plot of the film with rather surprising fidelity, expanding the showcase scenes from the movie to make room for more exploration and action. You can play solo or with a partner, and as the story progresses you'll assume the roles of up to 90 onscreen characters – including Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. The film's main cast returns for voiceover duties, so you're getting some star power with the central characters of Emmet (Chris Pratt), Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), Lord Business (Will Ferrell) and Good Cop/Bad Cop (Liam Neeson).
The console version of the game features 15 levels drawn from locations in the movie, like home base Bricksville and the psychedelic Cloud Cuckoo Land. The gameplay is the usual mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, platforming and goofy Lego-to-Lego combat. Progressing through any given level requires the usual assembly of various doohickeys and the occasional focus on lateral thinking and creative problem solving.
Mostly awesome
The game adds one new wrinkle, a kind of mini-game in which you interact with a virtual version of those step-by-step Lego instruction guides. Otherwise, the overall gameplay design is pretty much identical to other recent titles in the series. Kids familiar with the previous entries will pick up the new game in zero seconds flat.
In terms of tone, though, "The Lego Movie Videogame" is relatively bland in comparison to the film. The mischievous edge of the movie's anarchic humor has been smoothed out. Many of the film's musical gags are omitted as well, presumably because the game was completed before the movie. Occasional snippets from the movie proper only serve to make the contrast more distinct.
"The Lego Movie Videogame" isn't quite the impish genre-buster that the film proved to be, but it's another solid entry in an A-list video game franchise. Not everything is awesome, but almost everything is, and that's a pretty good deal.
Note: "The Lego Movie Videogame" is available on Microsoft Windows. Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
New this week: The classic stealth game "Thief" returns this week with a total reboot crafted for next-gen consoles and PC.

Martha Calus-McLain '03 | Alumni Board Profile
Director of Alumni Relations Martha Calus-McLain '03 answers questions about Pacific University.
What is your favorite thing about Pacific University?
The history. I just love being a part of a place that has been providing educational opportunity for more than 160 years.
What do you enjoy most about being a part of the Pacific community?
My history. This is where I became an adult. I was studying here when I met my husband and many of my closest friends.
Why do you think Pacific is a high-quality place for students to attend? What do you think sets Pacific apart from other Universities?
I could comment extensively about the quality of education, caring environment and dedicated faculty, but everyone who has ever spent any time here knows these things. For me Pacific stood out because from the moment I first learned Pacific existed, as a high school junior in rural Washington state, it felt like the place I was meant to attend.
What is one thing you would change about the University if you had the power to do so?
I love this place with all my heart, but even the best places need some improvements. Rather than fantasize about what could be changed, I'd rather try and help those changes along. This is why, before I worked here, I served as a volunteer and contributed to the annual fund. As an employee I work every day to improve the university and I continue to support the annual fund and look toward a future of continued success for my alma mater.
What do you admire most about the University?
My fellow alumni. In my role as alumni director I continually get to hear amazing stories of the achievements of Pacific alumni and I am proud to be among so many great people who truly want to make the world a better place.
What do you like to do when you're not working?
In our non-work hours my husband and I pour every ounce of our energy into our century-old farmhouse. When we're not working on the house or garden, we love to have adventures locally and travel when we can. Also, I see no shame in a deep appreciation for television!
What do you think are the most important qualities in a person?
Honesty, kindness, integrity and the desire to learn.
What is/are your favorite phrase/words of wisdom?
C'est la vie.
So it goes.
Keep on keepin' on.
What is the most adventurous thing you have ever done?
In 2005 my boyfriend (now husband) and I rode our bicycles from Portland, Ore. to San Francisco, Calif. In 2011 we plan to try our hand at parenting. In choosing between the two, I'd say the latter is going to be a bigger adventure.
If you could be born in a different time period, what would it be?
I honestly feel pretty lucky to be born where and when I was born. I often ponder the twist of fate that allowed me to born in a time and place where I was able to overcome all the obstacles life put in front of me and find happiness in life. I try never to take this for granted. If I had been born even 60 or 100 years ago (or in one of many other countries), I would not have had a fraction of the opportunity I've encountered and for which I am so grateful.
However, if I had to pick a different time period, I'd say the future. I'd love to see if humans ever find a way to afford everyone such opportunity.

Morristown Medical Center announces a new cancer prevention study, which calls for volunteers between ages 30 and 65 to be monitored over the next several decades.
That study, CPS-3, will collect blood samples from volunteers who have never been diagnosed with cancer and "help researchers better understand the lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer," according to an American Cancer Society statement, which also calls the campaign a "historic cancer research effort."
"I challenge all the mayors in the community to reach out," Bob Conley, Madison NJ mayor, said. "The competition is on."
Study organizers will need all the publicity they can get, as 300,000 volunteers are sought nationwide. Several area organizations including Madison YMCA, the Greater Morristown YMCA and Realogy also have signed up as volunteer sign-up locations for northwest New Jersey, to be held between Dec. 11 and 15.
"It's a no-brainer. It's the right thing to do," Realogy representative David Weaving said. "It's something that affects all of us."
Weaving isn't just saying that. His wife is a three-time cancer survivor, most recently with breast cancer in 2006.
While her long-term prognosis is very good, not everyone is so fortunate.
Conley noted his mother's death 35 years ago to cancer. "We have come a long way," he said. Since then, cancer prevention studies one and two have drawn correlations of smoking and obesity to cancer, respectively, several presenters noted. Such conclusions may be commonplace now, but once upon a time were not so certain.
To enroll in the study, individuals will visit one of the enrollment locations and asked to read and sign an "informed consent form," complete a survey, have their waist circumference measured and give a small blood sample. The process is expected to take about 30 minutes. Survey packets will be completed at home asking questions about lifestyle, behavior and other health factors, and follow-up surveys will be sent periodically over the course of 20 to 30 years.
If several decades seems like a large commitment, talk to cancer survivors like Jane Rubin, Atlantic Health's director of neuroscience, who received her first breast cancer diagnosis 13 years ago.
"I am thrilled every time I see a new study come our way," she said. "In my case, I don't think I would be here ... if not for all the research."
As part of Tuesday's presentation, Rubin showed a video of the last three years—since her last cancer diagnosis—and what has taken place in her life, including graduations, family vacations, marriages and births.
"As you can see, life goes on," said Sue Bowens, marketing director of the Greater Morristown YMCA. "And, we need life to go on."
"It's a bold initiative," said U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance, who was joined by U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen and Assembly Anthony Bucco Jr. at the press conference. "With the highly diverse population of New Jersey, this is an excellent place to conduct this study."
Brian Slomovitz, director of oncology research for Atlantic Health, called his organization's participation in the nationwide study "a great event for us and our community.
"It's frustrating when we see a cancer patient come in and we do not have a treatment for them," he said. "The only way is to prevent cancer."
While strides have continued to be made over the years, questions have been answered, lives saved, even today, "it's not 'do you know anyone with cancer,' it's 'who do you know with cancer,'" Conley said. "We can change that."
