The Tribune-Star
Indiana State men's basketball coach Greg Lansing is having the most enjoyable summer of his college coaching career. A new NCAA rule now allows coaches more instructional time with their athletes.
During an eight-week span, which coaches can begin at their own declaration, the staffs at Division I schools can work with players two hours per week on the basketball court.
The players get an additional six hours each week to work with strength and conditioning coach Dave McManus. Players also volunteer on their own time to play in an open-gym setting.
"I'm in my element," Lansing said. "This is what our staff likes to do more than anything is teach and be with our guys. With the newcomers, it's a chance to establish how hard you work."
Indiana State has seven players who have no Division I regular-season experience in addition to a transfer from Gonzaga looking to join veteran point guard Jake Odum.
Only four of those eight are brand new to the program: Sullivan native Rhett Smith, 6-foot-8 T.J. Bell of Charleston, Ill., 6-11, 260-pound junior college transfer Mike Samuels, 6-4 juco transfer Dawon Cummings are new to campus and 6-6 Khristian Smith is working out with the team for the first time after being ineligible last year.
"For us it's perfect," Lansing said of the new rule. "It couldn't have come at a better time. Having nine guys that are new fighting for minutes … now it's just like spring and fall for us, they're lifting [weights] four days a week. We're more motivated as a staff than ever."
Additionally, ISU will make an August trip to the Bahamas. The Sycamores will get 10 days of practice and four games to begin to gel.
Getting the new players acclimated to what the coaching staff wants is particularly important, Lansing said.
Brand new
Samuels, for example, could be an impact big man for ISU, and working against players who are stronger than him like former ISU big man Myles Walker and returnee Jake Kitchell is helping prepare him for the fall.
"I don't think I've ever worked like this, in the weight room and playing with this group of guys," said Samuels, who got used to being the biggest man on the court during his two years at Wabash Valley Junior College. "Guys are going to be my size in Division I. I wasn't as strong as I thought I was. My expressiveness has to improve, and I'm trying to improve my lateral quickness."
Smith, whom many Wabash Valley fans watched develop his game in high school, is ahead of the game for most freshmen in the weight room.
"We obviously like Rhett," Lansing said. "He's a guy with a good lifting background, he's a strong kid. Now what he's got to do is get his body ready for the college level. He was the biggest, strongest kid on the floor every night that he played. He's got to do some things to get his athleticism back, his agility back. And he's working on his game, going out there and shooting 500 shots in a day."
T.J. Bell has vast potential for the Sycamores, said Lansing, who hopes to instill the work ethic in the athletic young player. "They've never had to go through what they're going through right now. T.J. has some tremendous athletic ability and has got some things you can't teach at all."
Cummings is completing a class at Coffeyville Community College, where he averaged 13.8 points and shot 35 percent from beyond the 3-point arc last winter. He'll join the team the first of July.
"I got to play with Dawon in open gym here end of spring. He's a thinner guard like me, he can really stroke it," Odum said.
Lansing expects big things from Cummings.
"Losing Steve [McWhorter], who was probably going to be a projected starter for us next year, we had to have a good player. [Cummings] is quick, athletic and more of a shooter than Steve was; maybe not quite the defensive presence, but hopefully he can get into that," Lansing said.
Hungry to compete
The other five players who will make their debut in a Sycamore uniform this fall sat out last season for various reasons.
It's an energetic group of guys that's ready to prove they belong.
"We've got an exciting group of guys," Odum said. "We've got guys that can make plays, pass the ball, shoot the ball, dunk the ball, defend — especially Devonte Brown, he can defend all game."
Brown displayed his skills with 13 points in an exhibition win for the Sycamores, but a stockpile of veteran guards meant it was better for the native of Killeen, Texas, to redshirt last season.
He's ready to help the team in any way.
If I've got to give water to the other guys, that's what I want to do. Anything for the team to win. Me and Odum can play side-by-side, I can come in and give him a break. Whatever the team needs me to do," Brown said.
Lansing sees an impact player.
"He's just a really quick defensive-minded lead guard that's strong and can really help us on the defense end, where we struggled last year," Lansing said.
Khristian Smith is Lansing's first true Indianapolis recruit. Smith originally committed to Cincinnati out of Pike High School then spent a year at Maine Central Institute. Smith hasn't played organized basketball since then, and he's ready.
"Once you get something taken away from you, you kind of appreciate it a little more. I got here with a focused mind, I appreciate the game a lot more. I love the game a lot more," Smith said.
The 6-6 swing man said he brings energy and positive emotion to the team.
"I love to win, I hate loosing even in open gym," he added. "I've always been a leader, I've always been a talker. I want to feed off JO [Odum] a lot. We can run, we're more athletic. The sky's the limit, really."
Burnett, a 24-point-per-game scorer in high school out of Tuscon, Ariz., is another big guard. He said he hopes to replace some of the athleticism lost with the graduation of Dwayne Lathan.
Lansing sees an explosive athlete.
"Brandon has absolutely transformed his body, his body fat has gone way down, he's got his athleticism back," Lansing said. "He's a good shooter. The coaches have all kind of been raving about him."
Last but certainly not least, is Manny Arop, a 6-5 Gonzaga transfer who got to know some of coach Lansing's expectations while practicing with the team last year.
Arop, a seemingly well-rounded offensive player, likes the potential of the Sycamores on the other end.
"I think we're going to be a great defensive team," Arop said. "That starts with coach Lansing, same with coach Lou [Goudino], they preach defense a lot. They remind us a lot about the details. When I see that — and we might not be where we want to be now, but if we keep at it, we're going to be a good defensive team."
"Manny's a scorer, a physical perimeter player," Lansing said. "You add those four guys, they make you a little more athletic, a little bigger on the perimeter, a little stronger. Gives you a little different look than we've had in the past."

Going into the MEAC Tournament, Norfolk State and N.C. Central were a combined 31-1 in the conference. On Wednesday night in Norfolk, Va., both teams' seasons came to an end with a loss in the conference tournament.
After the No. 1 seed Spartans fell to Bethune-Cookman, N.C. A&T upset the Eagles, 55-42, for the first time for Adrian Powell and the rest of the Aggies' senior class.
Powell, along with junior teammate Lamont Middleton, had 13 points, as did Eagles senior Stanton Kidd to lead all scorers.
After leading the MEAC in points per game, shooting percentage and free-throw percentage, the Eagles were abysmal in every category Wednesday night.
Junior guard Jeremy Ingram went 0 for 7 in the first half and the Eagles shot just 26.1 percent. N.C. Central went 1 for 7 from the charity stripe in the first half and went into the halftime trailing 20-15 – the Eagles' lowest point total in the first half all season.
Ingram and fellow junior guard Emanuel "Poobie" Chapman finished 3-for-21, which was just below the team's shooting percentage of 22.6 percent for the game.
N.C. A&T advanced to the semifinals on Friday at 8 p.m. to take on the winner of Thursday night's Delaware State and Howard matchup.

Floyd Central football coach Brian Glesing described his team's latest rivalry game with New Albany perfectly on Friday night at Ron Weigleb Stadium.
"It was a typical New Albany-Floyd Central game," Glesing said.
You can say that again.
After Bulldog quarterback Michael Diehl made a 2-yard touchdown run to tie the game in the first overtime, place-kicker Vincent Falcone converted the all-important extra-point kick to give New Albany a dramatic 28-27 win.
The Bulldogs (5-4, 4-3 Hoosier Hills Conference) snapped a four-game losing streak in their series with the Highlanders. Friday's contest marked the fifth time in seven New Albany-Floyd Central rivalry games that the final margin has been two points or less.
"They've had our number. Also, these kids went 1-9 last year, so they were motivated," Bulldogs' coach Charlie Fields said. "[The Bulldogs] understand now that this plan for our program works."
Floyd Central kicker Ryan Lenz had a chance to win the contest in regulation with 3.2 seconds to go. But his 35-yard field-goal attempt landed 2 yards short of the crossbar, sending the game to overtime.
After the Highlanders (2-7, 2-5) decided to go on offense after winning the coin toss, Floyd Central quarterback Colton Kimm threw the ball on fourth-and-goal at the New Albany 7-yard line to Nick Uhl in the right corner of the end zone for a touchdown.
Glesing decided to go for the two-point conversion. But running back Chase Herron failed to get into the end zone on a running play, giving the Highlanders a 27-21 lead.
"Our team held them when they went for two, and that was a key stop," Fields said. "When you go to overtime, you want to play defense first. They want that challenge."
Glesing went for two because his team had struggled making extra-point kicks throughout the season. Not only did Lenz miss the 35-yard field goal, he also misfired on an extra-point try earlier in the game.
"Our percentage of getting extra points is not very good this year," Glesing said. "There was no doubt we were going for two."
On New Albany's overtime possession, Diehl started the series with a 7-yard pass to James Ray. After a 1-yard run by Tuwan Payton on second-and-goal, Diehl scored the tying touchdown with a 2-yard plunge into the end zone.
That was followed by Falcone's dramatic point-after-touchdown kick.
"Their kicking game was better than our kicking game today," Glesing said.
A long run got the Highlanders on the scoreboard first. On their first possession of the contest, Uhl capped off an eight-play, 73-yard touchdown run on an off-tackle play to put Floyd Central up 7-0 with 9:02 left in the first quarter.
The Bulldogs drove the ball 47 yards on their first series down to the Highlander 16. But Falcone missed a 33-yard field goal wide right at the 5:29 mark in the opening quarter.
During the second quarter, the Highlanders drove the ball 74 yards to the New Albany 15. But on fourth-and-9, Kimm threw an incomplete pass into the end zone to turn the ball over on downs with 2:08 remaining in the opening half.
Glesing felt the turning point in the game happened before that drive. On fourth-and-19 at the New Albany 11 with the Bulldogs lined up to punt, Floyd Central got called for a roughing-the-kicker penalty that gave New Albany a first down.
Even though the Bulldogs did not score on the possession, Glesing thought the momentum of the game turned his rival's way and helped New Albany flip field position in its favor.
"The roughing-the-kicker penalty was the difference," Glesing said. "We would have gone up 14-0 on them if that didn't happen."
The Bulldogs got their first touchdown inside 2 minutes before halftime. Following a 31-yard reception by New Albany wide receiver Jarred Jones, Diehl hit wideout Ravon Wright on a quick slant. Wright took the ball from the right side to the left for a 54-yard TD reception at the 1:46 mark, tying the score at seven.
Floyd Central took a 13-7 lead with 3:57 left in the third quarter as Herron made a 3-yard run. But Lenz missed the extra point to keep the Highlanders' lead at six points.
With 1.1 seconds left in regulation, Diehl hit Jones on a 5-yard TD pass to put the Bulldogs up 14-13.
Herron got the lead back for the Highlanders with eight minutes left in regulation on a 27-yard TD run, followed by him running into the end zone for a 2-point conversion to put Floyd up 21-14.
Diehl tied the score at 21 with a 1-yard TD run with 4:38 remaining.
Both teams will have first-round games in Class 5A Sectional 8 next Friday. New Albany will travel to Jeffersonville, while the Highlanders will host Class 5A No. 3 Castle.

Reviews for Root Beer Float Fudge
Sort By :
Made this and was it ever wonderful!!! Very creamy and it does taste like a root beer float.
I've been asked for the recipe already. It set very well and the two tone color is pretty.
This fudge is easy to make, but the color didn't work and it didn't set very well. The root beer layer crumbled so badly that I had great trouble cutting it. It has a decent flavor, though it's extremely sweet.
making this soon, but just a note. I have been using the tin foil pans for years to make fudge, just coat with cooking spray and let set up with your fudge. normally pops right out and you can get many uses from one pan.
Absolutely love this recipe.....I have made 4 batches this weekend....of different flavors......LOVE LOVE LOVE IT......
Is it 5 ounces of evap milk or one can. all of my cans are 12 oz?

Anger management: characteristics
There are ten characteristics that create how one views the world and handles adversity. If we can see that, it will help us to understand how a child or even ourself is thinking, which in turn helps us to find ways of dealing with our anger. Over the next few weeks I will talk about all ten of them and let's see if we can identify ways of managing this in our own house.
The first way we will discuss is the child that seems to create their own situations that lead to angry outbursts.

They don't get to choose, and the method you mention is the method I actually would use to resolve it. Starting on the round following each uses, any 1 becomes a 6 until the bad luck is used up; if no ones are rolled, I'll start modifying 2s, then 3s, etc.
The enemy side's rolls are actually probably enhanced a bit more than the casting side's this way, but the enemy has no control over where it is applied. Heck, they don't even have control over which enemy benefits from the luck. If the scroll is used in a conflict with elves, and the next encounter is with barbarians, the barbarians are boosted - the elves just get hosed.
OOC how about you start by modifying 5's and if no 5's are rolled then go for 4's etc ? /OOC

In a twist, Simcha Felder, a Kensington-area Democrat who was recently elected to the State Senate, has announced that when he got to Albany he would vote with the Republicans – and many in his district don't seem to mind, according to the New York Times.
The Hasidic and other Orthodox communities of Borough Park, Midwood and Kensington that he represents seem to be less concerned with Felder's party affiliation than with what he will actually accomplish for them. According to the Times, they want government money for tuition and busing at yeshivas, which Senate Republicans have accommodated in the past.
"It was understood that he was a Democrat by name, but not in his views so much," Rabbi Zvi Mermelstein, 29, of Borough Park, told the paper of Felder.
But for Democrats, Felder's switch has created tension.
Brooklyn Democratic chairman Frank Seddio called the party jump "both a disgrace and a complete betrayal of his constituents," according to the paper.
The Jewish-heavy district that Felder represents was created at the request of Agudath Israel of America, a group representing Hasidic and other ultra-Orthodox organizations, in order to gain leverage by consolidating the Orthodox vote into one district.
According to the Times, Felder, 53, is an ordained rabbi – but not a practicing one – as well as a certified public accountant. He has most recently held a post as a deputy city comptroller.

ETA: I think the U.S. guys are all setting individual goals to improve their international results/standings, but many of them have yet to execute under the pressure of Senior Grand Prix competition... but that's what early season competitions are for and about.
Razzano won silver and Mahbanoozadeh bronze in Graz today (neither landed a quad in the FS but quads aren't everything ).

ETA yup 200 and 204. Not exactly encouraging scores, though maybe if they both had messy FS, it would make me feel a little better. Interesting how the US man with the highest ISU SB thus far in the season is 13 year old Nathan Chen
My post had nothing to do with/say about 3 spots to the Olympics.

The US men haven't had a promising newcomer to the GP to shake up the scene. The "new" US man this season is the returning Johnny; Evan hasn't come back; right now, there's no leader. The energy level among US men is bound to be a bit...languid. Perhaps Josh would skate well at US nationals and get sent to 4CC or something to boost the energy level.
I wish USFS helped Josh get 2 gps, not just for Josh's sake. You need to promote new comers to inject new energy to your program, esp. when your top skaters have been the same people for a while.
On the up side, thanks to several rejuvenated veterans and a newbie Gracie Gold, the energy level among US ladies has changed, and I'm getting excited about US ladies again.
Last edited by jlai; 11-10-2012 at 02:21 AM.
I have high hopes for Josh. His JGP scores didn't seem that great when he earned them, but it's now November and those numbers are still among the highest any of the other guys have put up on the senior GP events, and with one less element too. Maybe if he can win the JGPF convincingly, a la Dornbush in 2010, USFS will start to take him more seriously and maybe send him to 4CC should he skate well at Nats and land on the podium (or even maybe like 5th or something). He could still do JW afterwards if he wanted to, as well. Kovtun will be steep competition at JGPF, but even if he doesn't hit there, maybe it will mean he'll finally skate well at Nats.
Interested in seeing if anyone puts up exciting numbers at Sectionals this weekend.
I think the frustrating thing with the US men is, there's no shortage of talent, quite the opposite actually, it just seems like the strongest guys at the moment are either inconsistent, have their age working against them physically, still competing on the JGP, or stuck on the senior B circuit due to limited GP and ISU championship spots.
Anyways, not expecting much from Johnny, but I still really like Ricky and hope he can pull up lots in the FS and show his Finlandia FS was not a fluke!
I was totally surprised by Dornbush's performance. Everything was going nice, going great, I even kind of liked it and then whoops I just skated off a cliff. Which was a shame. Hope he has a better free skate tonight.
As for Weir, well, uh...I liked the second part of the music? And he still has nice lines and flow.
Who has been named to replace Johnny at TEB?
He withdrew a couple of days before the start, and the French Fed is not obligated to fill his spot. They could, but they haven't, at least yet.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
Here are the 12 Sectional qualifiers to 2013 Nationals (total scores included):
Easterns 1-4: Stephen Carriere 204.92, Harrison Choate 190.84, Wesley Campbell 189.68, Grant Hochstein 186.48;
Midwesterns 1-4: Max Aaron 233.58, Alexander Johnson 223.18, Brandon Mroz 200.32, William Brewster 171.13;
Pacifics 1-4: Keegan Messing 201.98, Jonathan Cassar 183.00, Philip Warren 180.31, Sean Rabbitt 170.59.
The top 3 Junior Men qualifying scores from Sectionals: 12-year-old Vincent Zhou 196.33, Nathan Chen 193.05 (he omitted 3A & 3Lz from his programs since he is still recovering from his injury), Jordan Moeller 188.70.

Max Aaaron's score is really high. And he's shown his 4s and 3a are really consistent. I hope he is seriously considered for Worlds if he skates well at Nats and not kept down in the standings due to politics and PCS inflation for favorites. We really need a guy who can hit the quads and 3as consistently, and most of those considered contenders for the World team have issues with at least one of those jumps if not both. If Max can score like he has been lately, he could be mid-lower top 10 at Worlds and then maybe we could get 3 spots if Abbott or Lysacek could deliver. I even wonder if Max could jump his way on or near the podium in Gatchinski or Brezina-like fashion...
I'm a fan of Max's but I think if he can place in the top 5 at Nationals it will be a great step/jump forward for him. His style marks will hold him back IMO at 2013 Nat'ls.
He's becoming the most consistent jumper among the US men & I'm excited for him. However, if either Dornbush or Miner can land just one quad in either their sp or lp at Nationals I think they'll place ahead of Aaron. And it goes without saying that if Abbott skates well he will too.
At Pacifics, Messing hit a quad toe in his short program (which overall was pretty good), and then did triple axel combo, quad toe and triple lutz in the opening of his free skate, but messed up the landings on all of them (and the lutz was to be a triple-triple). While he "didn't want to make excuses, "he and his coach both acknowledged it was a really bad skate for him, but he he had just returned from Nice about a week ago (where he won with a score about, I think, 15-20 points higher -- which would make sense, because he left at least that many points on the ice with sloppy landings at Pacifics) and he'd been "on the road" for a couple of months and was a bit tired.
Zhou looked really, really good in the junior men's final, very confident, while Chen was very good, too, but did leave out a couple of jumps. But both of them are still VERY tiny -- don't know what they'll be like when they mature more, but both are very confident skaters. Zhou just turned 12 and Chen was 13 in May, so both are quite a ways away from being senior international age eligible.
Is Zhou actually that tiny? He looked quite a bit bigger than Chen, who is obviously tiny but also a year and a half older and going through a growthspurt right now, so considering that, Zhou might not actually be that small for his age. Chen is what, 4'9", and Zhou seems a couple inches taller at least, so if he's 4'11" or 5' at barely 12 that's not that small, and he therefore could grow early and be a more normal size/mostly grown in the few years it takes him to become eligible for seniors. Chen was clearly affected by his injury, so Nationals will be interesting, Zhou won here (barely), but we know Chen can do a lot better. Shotaro is also quite strong but didn't skate well at Sectionals. It will be interesting to see who steps up and makes the JW team. I'm also interested to see what happens at the JGPF with Brown and Farris, Yan is not there but Kovtun and Jin have quads.
http://govincentzhou.wordpress.com/profile-4/) and that was updated like months ago, so I kind of figured that he must be a little bit taller than that now.

Everything EndsSeptember 6th, 2011 |
I know that we have been silent on this issue for some time, but it was because we wanted to be certain before we made any formal announcements. I'm sure many of you have seen this coming, but despite our best efforts and amazing support from our fans, Shadowgirls the webcomic has come to an end.
This is not an easy thing for us and it was not an easy decision to come to. We have spent the past few months trying to find a way to make it work; trying to find a formula that would make it possible to deliver a quality product on time and without any future interruptions, but nothing really worked. And I am sorry for that.
This doesn't mean that Shadowgirls is going away entirely, Season 2 will still be completed and collected. There will likely be other projects that involve the world and characters, but the webcomic itself has come to an end.
I want to thank everyone who has supported us over the years and I hope you know that it is not easy to say goodbye to friends and a community as strong as this one. I also hope that some of you will want to stay apprised of any future developments with the property or our other projects. But nothing will ever quite be like Shadowgirls in my heart.
Thank you for taking this journey with us.
D.Rey chiming in here.
Okay, I know a few are you aren't really all that shocked by this, but for those still around, I feel you're owed an explanation to what's going on. The simple truth is, we have a crappy economy. I am 36 years old, and currently unemployed, and I just used up the last of my student loan deferments. My field of study was Graphic Design, but that's an industry that's drying up the world over. Graphic design jobs are quite honestly rare, and sure as hell doesn't pay more than I could get paid working at Wal-Mart. (And the ones that DO pay really well, I'm not qualified for.) Michigan's unemployment is at 11%, and I've gone to several interviews these last few months, and I haven't had a whole hell of a lot of luck. My future is, to put it bluntly, uncertain. (And of course that 11% just counts unemployment claims made, and doesn't take into account people like me who are ineligible to claim unemployment or the depressed and nihilistic folks who just gave up… So it's probably like around 20%.)
Honestly, I was probably in denial here about the comic coming to an end, and I was hoping we'd find a way around it, but the sad simple fact is… My time is going to be a lot less productive. I just simply will not be able to produce the comic on a regular set schedule without running into the same problems again. Right now, I got to get my life in order and I don't want to be making any more promises I cannot deliver on. I'm frustrated, angry and scared. The only upside is that I know I'm not alone in this boat.
Yeah, this sucks folks, and I'm sorry. I feel like I let you down… But I hope you understand. Like David said, this current story arc will be completed and eventually collected. And there will be other comic projects taking place in this universe and characters. I mean… This is in my goddamned blood. I don't really know what's going to happen to the Shadowgirls blog here, but for those still interested in my occasional rants and discussions I'd like to direct you to my other site, Thoughtcrime Inc. where I'll be continuing to do so.
So this is it for now. But for me personally… (And you Transformers fans know exactly what this phrase means and the legacy that it entails.)
"It never ends."
-Dave Reynolds
We were asked below about our future projects, so I thought I'd post them up here for everyone to read, so you don't have to scroll through the responses to find it.
D.Rod, he's got his project 'Finding Gossamyr' coming up soon. I got to read the first issue script in March and it's really, REALLY good. And not to mention, the artist is Sarah Ellerton, who is extremely freakin' skilled. So that's probably a winner right there in the making. So you can keep an eye out for it on the Facebook page here. Also the Please Don't Wake Dagon card game is still going strong, and I believe that receptions to it have been very good.
As for me, I just plan to finish up work on this current story arc and trying to find work. Hopefully that'll all stabilize out sooner than later. I have a side project or two I've been thinking about, but nothing concrete. (They're both in this respective universe, so don't be surprised if a McKay girl or a green haired cyborg shows up.) I'll probably be making announcements on future projects on my above mentioned blog. But until that's all straightened out, I will probably do little short stories and artwork stuff, which I'll post there. (Google Bloggers… Gotta love 'em!)

We use forward and reverse genetic approaches to elucidate peroxisome biogenesis and the functions of plant peroxisomes, conduct genetic analyses of the roles of indole-3-butyric acid and auxin conjugates in auxin homeostasis, and use auxin response mutants to understand hormone signaling and cross-talk.
In the past, we have used functional genomics approaches to uncover the targets and roles of plant microRNAs and to understand how and why plants synthesize diverse triterpenoids.

Does Your Body Belong to You?
Food nannies want the government to control your diet.July 29, 2011
"What will it take," asked New York Times writer Mark Bittman last Sunday, "to get Americans to change our eating habits?" This is a subject of great concern to progressives today. As A. Barton Hinkle explains, many of them are deeply distressed that—despite incessant lecturing on the subject—too many of their fellow citizens continue to eat what they like, rather than what progressives think they should eat.
McDonald's to Kids: Apple Slices For All, Whether or Not You Want Them
McDonald�s nudges kids to eat more fruit, fewer fries after being given a good shove by regulatorsJuly 26, 2011
Starting in 2012, all McDonald's Happy Meals will include apple slices (and a very tiny serving of fries), a move McDonald's claims was "absolutely not" motivated by ever-mounting pressure from regulators to do something about America's hordes of chubby children. Senior Editor Katherine Mangu-Ward is skeptical.
Nanny State Propaganda
How long before the government places graphic warning labels on junk food?June 29, 2011
The logic of Washington's graphic new cigarette warning labels holds that government should frighten people away from consumer goods that impose social costs. But as A. Barton Hinkle observes, if we apply that consistently, then there is no reason federal regulators should not adorn junk food packaging with garish photos of morbidly obese corpses, cutaways of clogged ateries, or glistening mounds of fatty tissue hacked out of cadavers.

Who will replace State Assemblywoman Diane Harkey? The first area Republican has stepped forward to run in 2014
Current Rancho Santa Margarita City Councilman Jesse Petrilla, who launched a two-year campaign that led to his becoming the youngest city councilman in RSM history, said this week he will have a go at higher office.
Petrilla, 29, announced Thursday his intention to run for the California State Assembly in the 73rd District, a two-year seat currently held by Harkey, R-Dana Point.
The seat seems a lock for whichever Republican prevails in the primary. First elected in 2008, Harkey handily beat Democrat challenger James Corbett, a history teacher at Capistrano Valley High School, 64 percent to 36, in November.
Even though California voters changed the term limits for state politicians in the June 2012 election, Harkey is grandfathered in under the old rules that allowed an Assembly member to serve only three, two-year terms.
Petrilla served a tour in Afghanistan from April to September with the California Army National Guard. He said in a press release he would be honored to fight for Californians in Sacramento.
"California is where I was born and raised, and I want to do my small part to help ensure our future is the best possible for all our families," he said. "I look forward to meeting with the voters of South Orange County between now and the election, and would be humbled to have their support."
Petrilla says his platform consists of fighting for lower taxes, pension reform, and bringing jobs back to California.
His term as a councilmember expires in 2014. He was elected in 2010 after an aggressive campaign he says included knocking on every Rancho Santa Margarita door twice.
Petrilla did not respond to a text request for a response.
His time in elected office has not been without obstacles. After attending four council meetings, he spent nearly four months in training at Fort Knox in 2011 before missing the five months in 2012. He also made statements through social media without being able to document his claims, and gave misleading answers about receiving council benefits though he was still receiving them at the time. Patch asked, during the public comment portion of Petrilla's last council meeting before departing to Afghanistan, to explain his false statements and correct the record; he did not respond.
Petrilla is a graduate of Cal State Fullerton and married his wife, Vesna, in 2009.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated Petrilla would face Harkey in the 2014 election, but she must follow an older term-limit law that has her termed out in 2014.

By BEN ROWE
---- — SARANAC — Methamphetamine materials discovered during a Saranac house fire Wednesday led to the arrest of one of the home's residents.
Bradley A. Rascoe, 27, of 315 Canning Road, was charged Thursday with third-degree unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony, according to a press release from Plattsburgh-based State Police.
He was arraigned Thursday afternoon and sent to Clinton County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bond. He is due back in court 6 p.m. Nov. 12.
When Saranac Volunteer Fire Department firefighters responded to the blaze at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, the house was "engulfed" in flames, Capt. Andrew Petrashune said, leading the department to call for assistance from Plattsburgh, Cadyville and Dannemora.
The Morrisonville and AuSable Forks departments were on standby.
Though he said the home was a total loss, Petrashune said the firefighting efforts were straightforward with no unusual challenges. The fire was extinguished in about a half hour, he said.
No one was inside the home at the time, but a dog died in the blaze.
The house, described by Petrashune as a double-wide mobile home, belonged to Randy and Lisa Rascoe, according to the Clinton County Real Property Office website.
Shortly after entering the home, Petrashune said, firefighters discovered the drug-manufacturing materials. The State Police Troop B Narcotics Enforcement Unit and Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team were called in to investigate.
Petrashune said the cause of the fire was still under investigation. It did not appear to be caused by drug manufacturing, according to the State Police release.
Exact details on the materials located in the home were not available as of press time.
Though Petrashune said the presence of drug materials in the home did not cause any additional difficulties, he said the threat of encountering dangerous materials when called to a fire is a frustrating challenge in modern firefighting.
"It's something else that the Fire Department has to encounter and worry about," Petrashune said.

GAME NOTES: After losing five games in a row, the Georgetown Hoyas are riding a four-game win streak, and will seek a fifth as they travel to New York City to face the St. John's Red Storm in a Big East Conference tilt at Madison Square Garden.
Georgetown started the Big East season 3-6 in the conference, but after four consecutive wins - three of which have been in conference play - the Hoyas are now 6-6 in the conference standings. Georgetown defeated Providence, 83-71, in the team's last outing.
St. John's has also won four consecutive games, with a victory over then-No. 12 ranked Creighton thrown in. The Red Storm have been victorious in seven of their last eight games altogether, which includes a thrilling 68-67 win over Seton Hall in the team's most recent contest.
This will be the 101st meeting between these two long-time rivals. St. John's owns the all-time series lead, 53-47, but Georgetown won the earlier matchup this season, 77-60, in Washington, D.C.
Georgetown trailed Providence, 36-32, at the end of the first half in Monday's Big East Conference clash. But the Hoyas came storming back in the second frame, outscoring the Friars 51-35 to earn the victory. D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera netted a team-high 22 points for Georgetown, while Jabril Trawick scored 12 off the bench and Reggie Cameron chipped in 11. Mikael Hopkins grabbed a team- high 11 rebounds in the win.
Smith-Rivera and Markel Starks have been the go-to scorers this season for the Hoyas, especially in the team's most recent run. Smith-Rivera tops the team in scoring average with 17.1 ppg on 44.4 percent shooting from the floor. Starks isn't too far off the pace at 16.8 ppg with a team-leading 97 assists. Nate Lubick and Hopkins are the team's top rebounders, with Lubick checking in at 6 rpg and Hopkins at 5.8 rpg.
Chris Obekpa sunk a free throw with 2.1 seconds remaining in Thursday's game for St. John's, which broke the seventh tie of the contest and gave the Red Storm a one-point victory over Seton Hall in conference play. D'Angelo Harrison led St. John's with 12 points in the win, while Obekpa, Rysheed Jordan and Sir'Dominic Pointer each tallied 10 points. The Red Storm shot 53.2 percent from the floor in the victory.
Like Smith-Rivera and Starks for Georgetown, Harrison and JaKarr Sampson have proven to be the top two scorers this season for St. John's. Harrison tops the squad with an 18 ppg average, and is third in total assists (40) behind Jordan (74) and Pointer (50). Sampson checks in with a 12.4 ppg average with a team- leading 6.2 rpg mark. The Red Storm are averaging 72.9 ppg as a team this season through 25 games played.
Both teams have been playing well recently, and have been getting contributions not just from their top two players each game, but from a host of other outlets as well. In New York at MSG, the Red Storm should be able to squeeze out a win with a strong presence underneath the basket.
