Katherine Heigl has an affinity for and love of animals so strong that she helped found the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, which has a mission of helping stop the euthanization of animals. She went on "The Tonight Show" to talk about it, and brought collars for Jay Leno's pets that she'd designed. Leno had a gift that he'd designed for Heigl as well.
His was a pooper-scooper, with a most disturbing design. Leno's face was on the bottom of the scooper, so that his jaws opened with the "jaws" of the scooper.
"That is so, so twisted! It is so fantastic. Jay, I'm gonna send you a photo of me using this," Heigl said.
But while she may have found it "twisted" and "fantastic," The Hollywood Reporter thought it more "unsettling." How long before they're available in the NBC gift store?

Peggy Olson, "Mad Men"
She didn't have an easy start as a secretary at Sterling Cooper, but Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) has certainly worked her way up on the '60s era drama. Peggy was consdiered one of the biggest creative geniuses behind the company (before she left last season), although she certainly lost a few nights of sleep in the process.
Walter White, "Breaking Bad"
Once just a high school chemistry teacher, Walt (Bryan Cranston) has spent the past four years battling cancer, cooking meth and killing people. Oh, and he's now considered the drug king of New Mexico. It's kind of a tough job.
Deborah Morgan, "Dexter"
Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) is totally devoted to her job as a Lieutenant for the the Miami Metro Homicide Unit. In a mostly male-dominated field, she had to prove herself by outworking everyone else. She takes her job home with her, has no personal life to speak of, and has been rewarded for her dedication and police intuition with promotions to Detective and eventually Lieutenant for simultaneously busting asses and kicking them.
Saul Berenson, "Homeland"
There were heartbreaking moments and tense developments galore in this crackling Showtime thriller, but anchoring it all was a wonderfully soulful performance by Mandy Patinkin as the hard-working Saul. He talked Carrie down from her more manic places, and when that failed, he comforted her at her lowest moments -- all in addition to holding down a demanding job as a crucial CIA employee. One of the most indelible images of Season 1 was a scene of Saul using a ruler to spread peanut butter on some crackers, a late-night snack that reinforced the idea that those who often work hard to keep America safe not only don't get credit -- they don't even get dinner.
Leslie Knope, "Parks & Recreation"
You will not find a harder worker in the Parks and Recreation department of Pawnee. Heck, you probably won't find a more dedicated worker anywhere on TV. Leslie (Amy Poehler) spearheaded the Harvest Festival, saving Pawnee. She also tirelessly campaigned for a seat on the Pawnee City Council while continuing her work with the Parks Department. When she was suspended, she started her own citizen action league. You can take the Knope out of the office, but you can't take the work out of the Knope.
Tyrion Lannister, "Game of Thrones"
Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) wasn't exactly a hard-working guy when "Thrones" began, but over the course of two seasons, more and more responsibilities piled up on him, to the point where he hardly had time for bordellos and wine (the horror!). One of the most fascinating things about the HBO show is the way it's shown Tyrion -- who'd been underestimated and mostly dismissed by everyone (including himself) -- realize that he not only was good at wielding power, he actually liked it. But it certainly cuts into a guy's recreational time, as courtiers Varys and Littlefinger could have told him.
Alicia Florrick, "The Good Wife"
Is Alicia (Julianna Margulies) ever home? And when she's home, is her phone ever not within arm's reach? She always goes above and beyond for Lockhart/Gardner. This is her first job in years and Alicia has moved fast, climbing the corporate ladder with ease. Could it be Lockhart, Gardner & Florrick soon?
John Cooper, "Southland"
Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) is recovering from addiction problems, but he never lets his bad back stand in the way of doing his job as an LAPD officer. His troubled past (a criminal father, a failed marriage and his closeted sexuality) explains why he's so passionate about the job, and why he does it all with a sense of humor. "You're a cop because you don't know how not to be one. If you feel that way, you're a cop -- if you don't, you're not."
Kate Beckett, "Castle"
Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) has a lot on her plate -- the unsolved murder of her mother that drew her to the job and Castle, the man who wants to help her solve the case ... but not at the expense of her own safety. Her personal issues sometimes drive her to make emotional decisions in the field, but it just proves how much she really cares.
Sam and Dean Winchester, "Supernatural"
Plenty of people take their work home with them, but few let their jobs consume them as thoroughly as hunky, demon-hunting brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) have over seven seasons of "Supernatural." The family business of "saving people" and "hunting things" not only has them living in motels and out of Dean's trusty Impala, it's also seen them sent to Heaven, Hell and many dimensions in-between in the name of saving the world. If anyone deserves a vacation, it's these two hard-working heroes. Sadly for them, kicking ass and looking good is a full-time job.
Miranda Bailey, "Grey's Anatomy"
Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson) could not be more dedicated to her job at Seattle Grace. When viewers first met her, she was the play-by-the rules resident of general surgery and referred to as "The Nazi" by her five surgical interns -- Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) -- because she ruled with an iron first. But Bailey has since proven to have a soft heart, too. Her devotion to her job arguably cost her her marriage, but Bailey could never turn her back on the co-workers and patients at Seattle Grace, no matter how much stress and pressure she's under.
Kenneth Parcell, "30 Rock"
The constantly-cheerful NBC page (and former Southern farm boy) is one of the most dutiful employees we've ever seen on TV. Sure, Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) is incredibly awkward and sometimes annoyingly optimistic, but he also could not be more devoted to "TGS," NBC and television at large. After all, how many times have we seen him out of his page uniform?
Max Black, "Two Broke Girls"
One of the titular heroines of CBS' raunchy comedy, Max Black (Kat Dennings) seems to have tried her hand at just about every low-paying job in New York. She's also an excellent multitasker, balancing her burgeoning cupcake business with waitressing, nannying, cleaning, working as a department store Christmas elf, dog-sitting and wrangling her flaky roommate Caroline, to name a few. Someone give this poor broke girl a break!
Antoine Batiste, "Treme"
It's not easy being a working musician in New Orleans. Whether he's trying to wrangle together his own band or lugging his trombone all around town going from gig to gig, Antoine Batiste (Wendell Pierce) is always hustling. At his wife's urging, he picked up a side job as an assistant band leader at a local high school, which will give his family a steady stream of secondary income.

Dan spoke to Empire magazine during a recent interview and recommended site debunked the reports, saying "There is buy cheap cialis online no truth to it at all. It's one of those very, very funny things: it came out of a story in the Daily Star and then you see newspapers like The Guardian using The Star as their source, and it grows and grows [until] it's 'Dan Radcliffe is playing Freddie Mercury!', which I was never going to do.

It constantly surprises you and it's great, great fun as well. The relationship between Igor and Victor is one of two young men at the absolute forefront of the technology of their day. Plus it's a story about them pushing each other further, eventually having to make decisions about their relationship and their morality. I'm really excited about it and carolinesmailes.co.uk very excited to be working with James McAvoy as well."

We've all heard family tales of a distant relative being the second cousin, twice removed of President "So-and-So." But is it really true? In reality, it's not all that unlikely. More than 100 million Americans, if they go back far enough, can find evidence linking them to one or more of the 42 U.S. presidents. If you have early New England ancestry you stand the greatest chance of finding a presidential connection, followed by those with Quaker and Southern roots. As a bonus, the documented lineages of most U.S. presidents provide links to major royal houses of Europe. Therefore, if you are able to successfully connect yourself to one of these lines, you will have a lot of previous compiled (and proven) research on which to build your family tree.
Proving a family tradition or story of a connection to a U.S. president or other famous figure requires two steps: 1) research your own lineage and 2) research the lineage of the famous individual in question. Then you need to compare the two and look for a connection.
Begin With Your Own Family TreeEven if you've always heard that you're related to a president, you still need to begin by researching your own genealogy. As you take your line back, you'll then -- hopefully -- start to see familiar places and people from the presidential family trees. Your research will also provide you with the opportunity to learn about the history of your family which, in the end, is much more fascinating than being able to say you are related to a President.
When researching your lineage, don't just concentrate on a famous surname. Even if you share a last name with a famous president, the connection may actually be found through a totally unexpected side of the family. Most presidential connections are of the distant cousin type and will require you to trace your own family tree back to the 1700s or earlier before finding the link. If you trace your family tree back to the immigrant ancestor and still haven't found a connection, trace the lines back down through their children and grandchildren. Many people can claim a connection to President George Washington, who had no children of his own, through one of his siblings.
More: How to Get Begin Tracing Your Family Tree
Connect Back to the PresidentThe good news here is that the presidential genealogies have been researched and well-documented by a number of people and the information is easily available from a variety of sources. The family trees of each of the 43 U.S. Presidents have been published in a number of books, and include biographical data, as well as details on both ancestors and descendants. On the Web you can browse through presidential genealogies in a number of online databases - see Genealogies of the U.S. Presidents.
If you have traced your line back and just can't seem to make that final connection to a President, then try searching the Internet for other researchers in the same line. You may find others have found sources to help document the very connection you are looking for. If you feel bogged down in page after page of meaningless search results, then try this introduction to search techniques to learn how to make those searches more fruitful.

|UNCW's Batts, Connelly Honored By CAA
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Mat Batts and Terence Connelly were honored by the Colonial Athletic Association as the circuit's Pitcher and Rookie-of-the-Week, respectively, as UNCW posted a 5-0 record with a sweep of hot-hitting Georgia State over the weekend.
Batts, who shared the honor with William & Mary's Jason Inghram, improved to 3-1 with a complete game shutout against Georgia State, the league's top hitting team and second nationally, in the series opener. Batts held the Panthers in check, allowing four hits and no walks. He finished the game with seven strikeouts and lowered his earned run average to 3.05, ranking him 10th in the league.
Connelly, meanwhile, joins rookie teammate Steven Linkous as a Rookie-of-the-Week honoree. The infielder from Garden City, N.Y., batted a robust .462 on the wee with seven runs scored and six driven in. He drew a team-high seven walks and fueled the Seahawks with a .682 on base average. Entering this week, Connelly has reached base in 16 straight contests with an OBA of .567 over the span. He is one of two Seahawks to start all 24 games this season.
The Seahawks host NC State on Wednesday at 6 p.m. before returning to conference play for a three-game set at Old Dominion beginning on March 29 with a 6 p.m. start.
Previous CAA Weekly honorees for UNCW: 3/18 Michael Bass (Player); 3/5 Jordan Ramsey Co-Pitcher); 3/12 Jordan Ramsey (Pitcher); 3/25 Mat Batts (Pitcher); 2/26 Steven Linkous (Rookie); 3/25 Terence Connelly (Rookie).

No. 5 Gonzaga holds off San Francisco 71-61
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kelly Olynyk had 26 points and nine rebounds and Elias Harris added 17 points and 13 rebounds to carry No. 5 Gonzaga past pesky San Francisco 71-61 on Saturday, snapping a three-year losing streak at War Memorial Gymnasium.
The Bulldogs' frontline tandem bullied and bruised their way to a fast start and furious finish. Olynyk finished 13 for 17 from the floor and Harris went 7 of 15 as both keyed an 11-0 run in the final minutes that put the Zags (25-2, 12-0 West Coast Conference) ahead for good.
Cole Dickerson scored 15 points and Cody Doolin added 14 to help the Dons (11-15, 4-9) rally back after trailing by 15 in the first half. Unlike the last three years when USF stunned Gonzaga at home, the Bulldogs regrouped and showed why they're ranked so high.
Singler leads No. 23 Oregon past WSU 79-77 in OT
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — E.J. Singler made two free throws with 3.8 seconds left, lifting No. 23 Oregon to a 79-77 overtime win over slumping Washington State on Saturday to hold on to first place in the Pac-12 Conference.
Singler scored 25 points to lead Oregon (21-5, 10-3), which has won three in a row since a three-game losing streak dropped them from the Top 10. Carlos Emory added 20 for the Ducks.
Royce Woolridge scored a career-high 36 points for Washington State (11-15, 2-11), losers of six straight. Woolridge missed a half-court shot as time expired.
Washington State took an 11-point lead at halftime, but the Ducks erased that in the early minutes of the second half and the score was tied at 71 at the end of regulation.
Huskies pull away late to defeat Beavers 72-62
SEATTLE (AP) — C.J. Wilcox broke out of a shooting slump with 24 points, Shawn Kemp Jr., added all 10 of his points in the second half, and Washington pulled away late for a 72-62 win over Oregon State on Saturday night.
The Huskies (14-12, 6-7 Pac-12) had lost three straight and dropped seven of eight overall, coinciding with Wilcox's slump. The Huskies' leading scorer had scored more than 20 points just once in the previous eight games.
He finally reached that plateau again on Saturday by hitting 7 of 14 shots. Wilcox has been bothered by a left foot injury that has limited his practice time.
Kemp's points gave Washington an inside presence, but just as important was the season-high eight points and seven rebounds off the bench by Jernard Jarreau.
Roberto Nelson led Oregon State (13-13, 3-10) with 19 points. Joe Burton added 10 points but was shut out in the second half.
Eastern Washington beats Southern Utah 86-72
CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) — Collin Chiverton scored 18 points and Parker Kelly had 15 as Eastern Washington defeated Southern Utah 86-72 Saturday.
Martin Seiferth added 13 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks for the Eagles (8-17, 6-9 Big Sky), who shot 54 percent from the field.
Jackson Stevenett led Southern Utah (10-15, 8-8) with 26 points and eight rebounds. AJ Hess hit 5 of 10 3-point attempts and finished with 24 points. Those two combined to hit 12 of 25 shots from the field, while the rest of their Thunderbirds teammates shot 23 percent (9 for 39).
Chiverton hit a 3-pointer to start a 10-2 run and capped it with a jumper to give Eastern Washington a 28-18 lead with 5 minutes left in the first half. The Eagles led 39-31 at the break and equaled their largest lead of the game when Jeffrey Forbes scored to make it 58-41 with 12:53 remaining.
Haws scores 28, BYU rolls past Portland 86-72
PROVO, Utah (AP) — Tyler Haws scored 28 points and grabbed eight rebounds Saturday night to lead BYU to an easy 86-72 win over Portland.
Haws was 13 of 19 from the field and now has scored 20 or more points 18 times this season. Brandon Davies added 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting for the Cougars (19-8, 9-4 West Coast), while Matt Carlino and Craig Cusick had 10 points and seven assists apiece. The Cougars shot 60 percent from the field in improving to 9-0 all-time against Portland.
Thomas van der Mars had 19 points and Tanner Riley chipped in 15 for the Pilots (9-18, 2-10).
BYU never trailed, leading 46-25 at halftime and by as many as 24 in the second half. Portland ended the game on an 8-0 run to close the gap somewhat.
The Cougars retired the jerseys of BYU legends Mel Hutchins and Roland Minson during a halftime ceremony.
Texas-Arlington holds off Seattle 65-63
SEATTLE (AP) — Brandon Edwards scored 12 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and Texas-Arlington held off Seattle 65-63 on Saturday night.
Texas-Arlington (14-9, 9-5 WAC) took a quick 10-4 lead out of the gates but Seattle responded with a 24-9 run capped off by Chad Rasmussen's jumper to give the Redhawks a 28-19 lead with 3:09 remaining in the first half.
Seattle led 31-26 at halftime but Shaq White-Miller buried a 3-pointer to open the second half which sparked a 10-5 run to tie it at 36-all.
From there the two teams traded baskets until it was tied at 62 thanks to a Rasmussen 3-pointer with 1:01 to go. Jordan Reves hit a pair of free throws with 12 seconds left to give the Mavericks a 64-63 lead and Kevin Butler hit a free throw with 1 second left to seal the deal for Texas-Arlington.
Reves had 11 points and 11 rebounds and Butler finished with 14.
Jarell Flora scored 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting to lead Seattle (7-18, 2-13).
Morales ready to give boost to Mariners offense
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Kendrys Morales is ready for a fresh start.
In 2009, he batted .306 with 34 home runs and 108 RBIs. Five years after his arrival to the U.S. from Cuba via the Dominican Republic, Morales was thriving.
By May 29, 2010, he was one of the top hitters for the Los Angeles Angels in just his second full year in the majors.
That day in May, Morales hit a game-winning grand slam to beat the Mariners in the 10th inning at Angels Stadium.
He jogged around the bases toward a celebrating crowd of teammates and jumped on home plate, landing awkwardly and breaking his leg.
That ended Morales' season and forced him to miss all of 2011 as well. Morales returned to the Angels in 2012 and batted .273 with 22 home runs and 73 RBIs.
Then on Dec. 19, he was traded to Seattle for pitcher Jason Vargas.

There is a lot of folklore concerning weather prediction. There is no proven reason to believe them, but they are fun to read. Here are a few that are interesting, though they are not true weather predictors.
Some say that if a hornets nest is high in a tree, then the winter will be mild. Strangely enough, other people say that squirrels nests low in a tree means a milder winter. I am not sure why there is a difference in squirrels and hornets nests like this. A heavy crop of acorns or heavy winter coats on livestock are supposed to predict a cold winter.
This one was funny. Cut a wild persimmon seed in half and look at the white interior of the seed. If the seed is shaped like a spoon, expect to shovel a lot of snow. If the seed is shaped like a fork, expect light snow and a mild winter. If the seed looks like a knife, expect a cutting, icy winter.
A couple of weather signs related to watching the sky for short-term weather prediction seem to have a little more credibility. Take, for example, Red sky at night, sailors delight, red sky at morn, sailors be warned. A reference to this can be found in the Bible in Matthew 16:23. The saying also is found in numerous cultures across the world.
Evidently a purple and green sky can mean that a tornado is on the way, though this is not always true. Some people who have seen tornadoes will vouch for it. Evidently, the tornado causes atmospheric changes that can create these colors.
Weather is a funny thing. We hire climatologists to predict the longterm weather trends and meteorologists to tell us about tomorrows weather. Scientists try to help us understand why it happens. We study weather in school, read about it in the paper and discuss it with friends. In the end, we can do little about it and we really only know what weather we will get while we are experiencing it. In Georgia, if you do not like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it can change.
October is generally our driest month. This proved to be true this year. We had a cool, dry October, although some parts of northeast Georgia got some extra rain. Remember how we had exceptional weather for the Georgia National Fair? It was cool and dry.
This dry trend continued into November, which was colder than usual and dry. By the end of November, drought conditions existed across 87 percent of Georgia. Georgia reservoirs and local ponds are at very low levels, with some at their lowest levels ever. The dry weather did help farmers get summer crops out of the fields, but winter crops will need water to mature properly. For more information on drought and weather see www.georgiaweather.net.
Othen than praying for rain, what else should we be doing? We usually turn sprinklers off at this time of year. Every week to 10 days, check the lawn to see if you need to run the system through a brief cycle, just to keep the soil from getting too dry. In the winter, the ground dries out more slowly, but plants can lose water quickly due to low humidity. Do not water often, but do so as needed to keep plants from completely drying out.
Water new plants well, directing water to the root ball. Keep the root ball moist but not overly wet. One of the biggest concerns would be for new turf. It must be kept moist until it roots in well. Check it regularly by sticking your finger under the turf. Keep the soil moist without over-watering.
Small ponds may benefit from adding some water if they get low. Let the water splash into the pond from a height to add more oxygen to the water.
Check pet water twice a day to make sure they have plenty of clean water to drink. Pets are actually hurt more quickly by running out of water than by running out of food. Do not let pet water get stagnant, dirty or frozen. Pets should never be left without plenty of clean water.

American goaltender Jonathan Quick, left, greets Russia goaltender Sergei Bobrovski after the US beat Russia in a shootout during overtime of a men's ice hockey game at the 2014 Winter Olympics, Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014, in Sochi, Russia. Other Russians accused Quick of moving his net.
Some Russian hockey players are accusing American goalie Jonathan Quick of dishonesty in Saturday night's blockbuster game that gave the U.S. a 3-2 victory over one of its top rivals on the ice.
The event in question happened during the 3rd period of the game, when Russia's Fedor Tyutin cracked the puck past Quick. The U.S. goalie pointed out to officials that the goal net was off its moorings and after reviewing video footage, the officials agreed and didn't count the point.
If the goal counted, the game would not have gone in to overtime and the U.S. would not have won in a shootout.
While video and photos do show that the net was slightly off — which, according to Olympic rules would disqualify any goal scored on it until it is fixed — some Russian players are now accusing Quick of intentionally knocking it out of place. (See a gif of Quick knocking into the goal cage here.)
"Nobody touched the net," Alex Ovechkin told the Chicago Sun-Times. "The goalie touched the net and pulled it out. But the referee didn't give him two minutes."
Slava Voynov, who plays with Quick in the NHL, went a step further by suggesting this sort of move is a dark habit of Quick's.
Voynov on Quick dislodging the net before the Tyutin disallowed goal: "I play with him. I know that's his style." #USAvRUS

The accusations continued.
Questioner in Russian says he talked to players who said Quick is known for "trick" of lifting net off moorings and says "we" lost because

Russia's coach, meanwhile, didn't appear to be dwelling on what might have been.
Of that. Russian coach far more diplomatic. Says he thought officials made mistake but he's looking forward now
— Helene Elliott (@helenenothelen) February 15, 2014
What's not disputed is that Quick stopped 29 of 31 shots in regulation/OT and five of eight shootout attempts.

An early morning explosion inside a Fredericksburg home Tuesday may be related to two similar incidents in Stafford County, said Natatia Bledsoe, Fredericksburg Police Department Public Information Officer.
At approximately 4 a.m., the Fredericksburg Police and Fire Departments responded to a reported explosion inside a home in the 3100 block of Normandy Avenue, according to Bledsoe. The adult female occupant of the home was not injured and evacuated the home safely, along with her dog.
Investigators were on the scene collecting evidence through the day Tuesday.
Fire personnel found smoke inside the home and significant damage to the interior of the single story residence. "The investigation determined a homemade incendiary device was placed or thrown inside the home and subsequently detonated," said Bledsoe.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Bledsoe sent a press release reporting two similar incidents in Stafford County on Tuesday morning.
The first incident occurred at 4:33 a.m. when Stafford County Deputies responded to an address in the Kings Grant subdivision for a report of a shot fired into a residence, said Major David Decatur in a press release.
"The caller reported hearing, what was believed at the time, a shot fired outside the residence, coupled with glass breaking inside the home," said Decatur. "The preliminary investigation revealed that a homemade incendiary device was placed or thrown outside of the residence. None of the occupants inside the home were injured and the home sustained minor damage from the explosion."
The second incident occurred at 5:53 a.m., reported Decatur. "The Sheriff's Office responded to an address in the Country Ridge Subdivision for a report of an explosion outside a residence. The preliminary investigation has revealed that a homemade incendiary device was placed or thrown to the rear of the residence. None of the occupants inside the home were injured and the home sustained minor property damage," said Decatur.
The Fredericksburg Police Department, the Fredericksburg Fire Marshal, the Stafford Sheriff's Office, the Stafford County Fire Marshal's Office, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and Virginia State Police are working together on the investigation
Anyone with information about these incidents should contact the Fredericksburg Police Department at 540-373-3122 or Stafford Crime Solvers at 540-659-2020, text "Stafford (plus your tip)" to "Crimes" (274637), or online.

Rancho Feeding Company in Petaluma, Calif. is recalling the beef because it processed diseased and unhealthy animals without a full federal inspection, the Food Safety and Inspection Service said.
The meat was processed by Rancho Feeding Corp. between Jan. 1 2013 and Jan. 7 2014 and shipped to California, Florida and Illinois.
The beef products all have the "EST. 527" in the USDA mark of inspection and a case code ending in 3 or 4, CNN reported.
Last month the company recalled more than 40,000 pounds of meat products produced on Jan. 8 that also didn't undergo a full inspection, the Huffington Post story said.
The recall includes the following products, listed on the Food Safety and Inspection Service website:
- "Beef Carcasses" (wholesale and custom sales only)
- 2 per box "Beef (Market) Heads" (retail only)
- 4-gallons per box "Beef Blood" (wholesale only)
- 20-lb. boxes of "Beef Oxtail"
- 30-lb. boxes of "Beef Cheeks"

The wheels on the bus for Pierce Transit are now powered by natural gas from a King County landfill.
Pierce Transit has become the first bus system in the country to switch to renewable natural gas as its primary fuel source.
Natural gas from the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill in Maple Valley is fueling 143 buses that had been powered by fossil natural gas. The renewable natural gas is refined from the landfill and purchased from Puget Sound Energy.
"It seemed like the logical next step for Pierce Transit," said Chief Executive Officer Lynne Griffith. "It's a continued commitment to environmentally friendly fueling technology."
Pierce Transit started using compressed natural gas in 1986. That form is fossil natural gas derived from underground rock formations.
Renewable natural gas is derived from the decomposition of organic waste at the landfill.
Some of the agency's vehicles are not affected by the change: About 10 percent of Pierce Transit's buses are diesel-electric hybrids, and the system's shuttle vans are fueled by gasoline.
Scott DeWees, project manager for Western Washington Clean Cities, said Pierce Transit is the first fleet of any kind in the state and the first transit system in the country to switch to renewable natural gas as its main fuel source.
The biggest benefit is reducing greenhouse gases by 80 percent, DeWees said. That reduction takes place by avoiding the need to refine and use traditional natural gas, he said.
"You're really avoiding the need to go out and harness a traditional fossil fuel to fulfill that transit need," he said.
The Clean Cities program is a program of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Pierce Transit made the switch in June. It formally announced the change this week.
"It's a really important and valuable use of the resource in terms of meeting our transportation energy needs," DeWees said. And it fulfills the Department of Energy's goals for using more renewable fuels, he said.
Mileage is the same and the change didn't require new equipment at Pierce Transit's fueling station in Lakewood where the natural gas is compressed, said Bill Spies, senior manager of maintenance.
"It's just like buying a different kind of gasoline," Spies said.
Tailpipe emissions also are the same, DeWees said.
The cost for both types of natural gas is virtually identical. The agency says it will receive about $12,000 a year in rebates from Puget Sound Energy for the renewable alternative.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — For the second time in less than a week, investigators from the Niagara County Sheriff's Department are probing a theft at a Gasport convenience store.
The manager of the Yellow Goose store at 7953 Rochester Road reported Thursday morning that several propane tanks were taken from a storage cage.
According to the report, the manager was opening the store around 5:30 a.m. when she made the discovery. The manager said she was shoveling snow when she noticed that the doors of the cage that holds the tanks were open.
She took a closer look and saw that a Masterlock keypad had been removed from the cage doors. Inside the cage, 19 propane tanks were missing. The manager said the cage holds 36 tanks and is "always full."
There was no damage to the cage and there were no remains of the lock.
The manager told the deputy that the propane tanks are not inventoried and that Heritage Propane Express provides the tanks. She added that Heritage had replaced the empty tanks about six days earlier.
A night clerk closed the store at 10 p.m. Wednesday. The manager said she did not notice anything else taken from the property.
According to the report, the value of the 19 propane tanks is $1,028.67.
Deputies also responded to the Yellow Goose on Dec. 22 for a burglary report. An employee who arrived at 5:30 a.m. to open the store found that the front door window had been smashed.
It was determined that approximately 100 packs of cigarettes, an undetermined number of lottery tickets and about $300 in coins were taken in the break-in.

Garmin navigates the social at Macworld|iWorld 2013
When last I met Bernd Hahn, he was the product lead on NAVIGON for iOS, one of the best turn-by-turn navigation apps on iOS in an era when neither Apple nor Google offered any such functionality. Now Garmin has bought NAVIGON but luckily they were smart enough to not only keep Hahn on, but put the Garmin for iOS app firmly under his passionate, creative control as well.
At Macworld|iWorld 2013, Hahn tells me how he keeps both apps, and lovers of both apps in harmony. Garmin, which looks and feels like a traditional, stand-alone turn-by-turn device interface, and NAVIGON, which more enthusiastically embraced iPhone design and interface qualities, give their customers a choice. This year, they've also gone social. They make it easier now to share location, but to control for who and how long. They've also added foursquare, but not only check-in -- their database as well.
It's still early days when it comes to exploring the real potential of social, integrated location, however, so for now Garmin is working on showing people the difference between their apps and the free alternatives from Google, Apple, and others. And they've got some pretty cool stuff in the pipeline for 2013.
There are 4 comments. Add yours.
+1 to Navigon - in my opinion, it's the best iOS map app.
I did not know they'd been acquired by Garmin. I don't use the app often. It's mostly a backup in case something goes wrong with my other navigation options.
It's like seeing double in the video..
I've been a Raving Fan of Navigon since day one. The one thing I wish they would improve apon is their transit in-app item. It needs a lot much cities added.

LUBBOCK, Texas —
Oklahoma State tied a season high with four errors Friday night and had its five-game winning streak snapped in a 5-2 loss to Texas Tech at Dan Law Field.
The four defensive miscues by the 19th-ranked Cowboys led to three unearned runs as OSU fell to 32-12 overall and 7-8 in Big 12 Conference play.
Jason Hursh suffered the loss on the mound as the sophomore fell to 4-4 on the year. The right-hander allowed five runs, just two of them earned, on seven hits. He walked four and struck out three.
On the other side, Texas Tech ace Trey Masek tossed his second complete game of the season, striking out seven and allowing just four hits to improve to 4-1.
"We certainly didn't do the things necessary to win a ballgame," said OSU head coach Josh Holliday. "(Trey) Masek pitched a very good game; he's a good pitcher and we knew that coming in. When you play on Friday nights and face the other team's ace, it's important that you match him back-and-forth until your club can get on the scoreboard. We weren't able to do that.
"We did not play the type of defense, nor did we run the bases or do the things offensively, that you need to do to win the baseball game. When you have as many errors as you do hits, it's very rare you're going to be on the right side of the scoreboard. I'm disappointed in how we played, and I expect to see much better out of us."
TTU (22-24, 7-12) got on the scoreboard in its first at bat. With two outs and a runner on second, Eric Gutierrez singled up the middle. The RBI hit was compounded when OSU's Saulyer Saxon misplayed the ball in center field. After the ball rolled to the wall allowing Gutierrez to round the bases, the Red Raiders' cleanup hitter fell running home. But after taking the relay throw, Cowboy catcher Victor Romero made an errant throw with Gutierrez scrambling to get back to third, and the second error on the play allowed the Red Raiders to plate another run.
Despite falling behind 2-0, the Cowboys answered to tie the score in the top of the second inning as, with the bases loaded and two outs, pinch hitter Rick Stover delivered a two-RBI single through the left side.
However, the tie didn't last long as TTU regained the lead with two runs in the bottom of the second. Tim Proudfoot collected the go-ahead RBI with an infield single, and then with the bases loaded, Hursh fielded a comebacker to the mound but threw wide of Romero at the plate to allow the Red Raiders' fourth run to score.
The Cowboys would not threaten again as they managed just one hit over the final 7 1/3 innings, that coming on a single by Romero to open the sixth inning.
The two teams return to action Saturday at 6:36 p.m.

It makes a difference
I am saddened by the accusations regarding the Wexford County Animal Shelter. The thought of animals suffering in such a way as they experience their final moments of life makes me ill. Innocent animals have no one except us to rely on for care. We as a community must take that responsibility seriously.
Every small thing that a person can do makes a huge difference in the big picture; we can make an impact in this world. Every donation to a local pet rescue makes a difference, even if it's just a few dollars. Rescues help enforce animal cruelty laws and help keep feral cat populations low, which saves lives.
Every donation to a pet food bank or pantry makes a difference. Every person who fosters an animal awaiting a forever-home makes a difference. Every person who volunteers at a shelter or rescue makes a difference. And when we see an injustice taking place, we must take a stand against it. It makes a difference.

Rethink legislation
I sincerely believe that the schools are missing out on a great resource for protecting our children. I'm a retired school employee, and I also have a concealed weapons permit to carry a handgun.
School employees must pass an FBI background check. To get a concealed weapons permit, I had to pass another police background check.
The schools have some of the best and brightest employees. Enough of those employees already have their concealed weapons permit that we could have at least several armed deterrents in all of our schools.
Employees could volunteer to go to a police academy to sharpen their skills and would be compensated by the school district for their training. The armed employees would already be mingling with the students and that armed employee would be an extremely effective defense, as well as a great deterrent.
Armed employees would be far more cost-effective than paying about $65,000 per year for each policeman.
Our Gov. Snyder desperately needs to rethink legislation that would allow armed school employees in our schools, legislation he recently vetoed.

Walker gets an 'F'
Do people really think they need assault weapons that fire 100 bullets without reloading to protect themselves? Do we really think that the federal government will confiscate our guns? If that is our fear, it seems to be a bit unrealistic when the federal government has drones and other sophisticated weapons which could be used far more effectively than gun power.
Where does this intense fear come from? And how many individuals must be sacrificed to salve this fear? Certainly, other methods of lessening violence are needed, but if banning assault weapons and large magazine clips saves one child's life, I'm in favor.
Our Michigan Sen. Howard Walker states, "I will oppose any efforts at the state level to implement an assault weapons ban." He may get an "A" from the NRA, but he gets an "F" from those of us concerned about the level of violence in our state and nation.

We revealed in the October issue of SnoWest (don't worry, it'll be in the mail in a few days) that Yamaha was getting back into racing, focusing on the company's hillclimb efforts in that issue. We mentioned that Yamaha would also be competing in cross country racing and that Idaho racer Nathan Titus would be one of the team's top racers on the circuit.
Yamaha announced its return to snowmobile competition in late August and said it would field a factory-backed team on the United States Cross Country (USCC) circuits for the 2011-12 season. Yamaha-backed racers will compete on both of USCC's programs—the Midwest and USCC East.
Yamaha veterans Ross Erdman, as well as Titus, will ride the FX Nytro RTX in the Pro class, while the up-and-coming Ben Lindbom and Jake Jorgeson will saddle up for the Semi-Pro class in the USCC Midwest series. Rounding off the USCC team in the Sport class is Seth Thorsen and Steve Emerson on the Phazer RTX.
Longtime Yamaha snowmobile racer Erik Frigon will race Semi-Pro while mentoring Sport racer Michael Ewaschuk in the emerging USCC East division.
"We're really excited to get back into racing," Wade West, Yamaha's snowmobile marketing manager, said. "The increased interest in grassroots racing over the past few years makes our entry into cross country racing all the more important. We've found that the market is moving away from the prepackaged spectacle of stadium snocross and gravitating more toward the relatable cross country events that compete on the same trails we ride. That's where our high performance 4-stroke power shines and what our FX Nytro models were engineered to do."
The 37-year-old Titus isn't new to USCC racing. He competed two seasons ago on that circuit but without factory backing. "A couple of years ago we were pretty competitive and that was with no real support, no direction," Titus said. "Before when we were racing, it was kind of a side show. The cool part is to see at the corporate level them get back into it."
Titus will run the full USCC season, beginning with the season opener Dec. 17 in Grafton, ND. However, he will live at home and fly to each race, returning home after the race is done. He will compete in Pro Stock, Pro Open and Pro Vet classes. We asked Titus if that wasn't a lot of cross country racing every weekend. "Yes, we'll see how it goes," was his response.
And what are his expectations this season? "The sled's got plenty of motor; we're working on handling right now," Titus said. "I'd like to see top 5s in the Pro classes. Of course, Yamaha wants to be competitive."

A loaf of white bread for $1 or a loaf of whole wheat bread for $2. Is it worth the cost? Can you afford it?
Some nutritious choices will certainly add to your grocery bill, but not every nutritious choice is more expensive. With some planning, comparing and preparing, you can eat healthy on a budget.
First of all, think about what is truly healthy. Many choices we make that we see as healthy choices are influenced by marketing and our beliefs.
An organic rice pilaf mix, all-natural canned soup and reduced-fat potato chips all may be healthier than their alternatives but may not be worth the cost when you consider how good they actually are for you.
Some words we see on labels are strictly regulated, like the term organic. Buying organic is a good choice when you can afford it, but check out lists of foods that have more or less pesticides when produced by traditional methods if you are shopping on a budget and make your organic dollars count.
The reduced-fat claim means only that the product must have at least 25 percent less fat than the original version. A reduced-fat potato chip will still have a lot more fat than carrot sticks.
The term "natural," when applied to a label, is very vague and means different things for different types of food, so read the ingredient list before paying more for a natural food.
So how can you save money at the grocery store? First, I must admit some unhealthy foods are cheap and some healthy foods are expensive. The best way to get more healthy foods into your diet is to compare prices of all foods and make less expensive healthy purchases more often.
Comparing prices can be very easy if you use the unit price at the grocery store. It is the little price in the corner of the counter tag, not the total price you pay. It is great for comparing similar items.

Central Florida Temps Low Enough to Cause Problems
The Orange County Health Department is warning people not to dismiss our current cold temperatures.
It's not freezing, but it's cold- and it's been a sustained cold. Which means people living without heat could be at risk for hypothermia. Orange County Health Department Director Kevin Sherin says even temperatures in the 40's can trigger hypothermia if someone becomes wet or damp. He says babies and the elderly are the most at risk for hypothermia. But this week's temperatures can pose another- perhaps unexpected risk.
"There is actually a risk of frostbite, if you had your ears that weren't covered and you were walking for some distance, you could be at risk of frostbite," he says.
He says early morning runners, walkers or cyclists should be aware of that risk and be sure to dress appropriately.

round, thin, flat bread of Mexico made from unleavened cornmeal or, less commonly, wheat flour. Traditionally the corn (maize) for tortillas was boiled with unslaked lime to soften the kernels and loosen the hulls. (This lime was the principal source of calcium in the Mexican diet.) The grains were ground on a stone saddle quern, or metate. Small pieces of dough were patted by hand into thin disks, a task requiring considerable dexterity. The tortilla was then baked on a comal, a griddle of earthenware or iron. Today most tortillas are purchased at tortillerias, where the dough is mixed by machine, stamped into disks, and passed by conveyer belt over a flame. Tortillas stale quickly and are usually bought fresh daily or even for each meal

In what can only be described as a roller coaster night of football, the Ridgefield Tigers were able to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat. After going up 34-14 in the fourth quarter, the Tigers held on for a 34-28 win over Stamford
The Black Knights (1-2) controlled the ball for the opening six minutes of the first quarter before punting to Ridgefield. The Tigers had the ball for less than a minute and a half and on the Knights' 17-yard line when Connor Rowe threw an interception.
Stamford took advantage of that miscue when quarterback Bryan Boderick scored on a 5-yard run for the game's first touchdown and a 6-0 lead as the Knights could not convert the point after.
Ridgefield answered with just 35 seconds remaining in the first quarter on Rowe's 62-yard TD pass to John Heller that pulled the Tigers within 7-6.
Ridgefield (2-1) then picked off Boderick at the 8:25 mark of the second quarter. Just 14 seconds later, Rowe found Heller once again on a 35-yard TD strike, putting the Tigers up 14-6.
Rowe then finished out the half by connecting with Neil Gollogly on a 23-yard TD pass with about a minute left, sending the Tigers into the locker room with a 20-6 lead. Gollogly made a spectacular catch at the goal line while being pummlled by two Stamford defenders. He held on to the ball for another six points for Ridgefield.
When Ridgefield scored two minutes into the second half it looked like it would run away with the game. Running back John Turner bulled his way through the Stamford line and to the corner flag to put the Tigers up 27-6.
Stamford answered quickly at the 8:05 mark when the brothers Boderick connected off a 20-yard TD pass to get the Knights within 13 at 27-14.
Neither team score for the next 12 minutes. With 7:52 left in the game, Sam Gravitte took a had off from Rowe and scampered into the end zone on a 7- yard run to put the Tigers ahead 34-14.
At this point it seemed as if the game was indeed over, but Boderick threw a pair of TD passes two minutes apart. The first was a 20-yard pass to Jake Demetrios at the 5:32 mark. The second was to his brother with 3:34 that got etting within a touchdown and extra point of a great comeback win.
However, a poor attempt at an onside kick gave the ball to Ridgefield with great field position and the ability to run out the clock.
Ridgefield travels to Wilton on Thursday while Stamford hosts St. Joseph on Thursday.
