Putnam, Jun 1, 1996 - Art - 272 pages

A non-injury fire at an Oceanside condominium complex displaced five people and caused about $150,000 in fire and water damage to two units, fire personnel said Sunday.
Residents were evacuating the four-unit complex at 345 Stagecoach Rd. as fire crews arrived shortly after 6 p.m. Saturday, Battalion Chief Terry Collis of the Oceanside Fire Department said. Firefighters and police officers also evacuated nearby units, he said.
Firefighters found a well-involved fire extending from a unit's kitchen to its living room and bedroom areas, but it was kept from extending to other areas of the building, Collis said. Crews gained control of the blaze at 6:25 p.m, he said.
The fire appeared to be accidental, but its official cause remained under investigation, Collis said.
Two apartment units sustained fire or water damage that was estimated at $150,000.
The American Red Cross was called to assist the five adults who were displaced, Collis said. No one was injured.

Oysters, macaroni and beer were three staples the Texas Pacific Mercantile and Manufacturing Company had to stock to keep the immigrant workers of the Texas & Pacific Coal Company happy during its 40-year history.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length Robert Frost
Happiness at Coast Union for boys basketball this season will result from: a) repeating as Coast Valley League Champions; b) the continuing court maturity and confidence shown by the talented crop of juniors; and c) filling the gym with wildly supportive fans.
It may be a tall order to win the league championship a third straight time, but tall is a key reason along with defense, shooting skills, conditioning and good work ethic during practice the Broncos have a golden opportunity to do just that.
On the subject of height, junior center Logan Brandt has really come into his own this season for the varsity. The tallest player on the team at 6 7 and the tallest Bronco in recent years Brandt is averaging 10.2 points per game so far early in this season, which is a positive upgrade nearly double his scoring from his sophomore year when he averaged 5.4 points per game.
Thus far this season Brandt is hitting on 45 percent of his field goal tries and is sinking 64 percent of his free throws. Last season Brandt was successful on 37 percent of his 2-point tries and sank just 35 percent of his free throws. As for blocked shots, last year Brandt knocked away 52 opponents shots and this season as a junior he has 17 (and that includes most of the 10 games played against schools like Santa Maria, Fresno and Mendota) so far this year.
This season Brandt is averaging 8.9 rebounds in 10 games and in 2011 he averaged 5.1 rebounds per game.
In the Broncos one-sided (58-21) win against Maricopa (Dec. 14), Brandt led all scorers with 18 points, he blocked 2 shots and grabbed a team-leading 11 rebounds.
Also in that game junior guard Quinten Raethke tallied 14 points and hauled down 8 rebounds. Raethke led the team with 10 assists and hit on 54 percent of his field goal attempts. Angel Avina scored 14 points against Maricopa and hit on 63 percent of his 2-point attempts.
Coast Union was defeated on Dec. 11 at Valley Christian Academy, 61-56 but Brandt led scorers with 17 points and he led in the rebound category as well, bringing down 10. Raethke scored 11 and had 7 rebounds while Avina scored 12 and led the team with 6 assists.
Meanwhile Raethkes father, John, believes that once this team has that confidence factor, theyll be unstoppable. Johns son Quinten was the Broncos leading scorer last year, averaging 15.5 points per game. Is the 6 3 Quinten stronger this year?
Oh most definitely, his father enthused. The varsity played in a summer league and in a fall league. And while football was going on, coach Tim May had the basketball players in the weight room.
Confidence in the team aspect of the game is the only thing missing, John Raethke explained. But I believe they will gain that confidence and win the league championship again.
Logan Brandts father, Carl, said that one important reason for the team jelling so well is that These boys have been playing together or against each other since their early youth in CYAA.
That experience and their conditioning leads Carl to believe they have the talent and maturity to be a championship team. These guys have put in many hours of lifting weights, running and shooting, Carl Brandt continued.
It would be nice if more of the townspeople would turn out to watch the home games like they do for football, he added. The gym is warm and the crowd is friendly, a great way to spend an evening.
The Broncos overwhelmed Coastal Christian 65-11 at home Tuesday (Dec. 18); Raethke had 14 points, Gehrig Kniffen had 11 and Brandt added 10 points.

Sammamish Ace Hardware Store owner Tim Koch says he has a piece of land, financing, and a project, and wants to move forward with it as soon as possible.
Koch sent the following email to loyal customers over the weekend, along with a list of talking points for people to bring up during the public comment period of the meeting (attached here as a PDF):
We appreciate your interest in supporting our efforts to stay in business on the plateau! This is how you can help! Come to the next City Council meeting, Tuesday, December 4th at 6:30 pm and share with the Council why you need Sammamish Ace Hardware to stay on the plateau.
We sincerely appreciate all of our customers and hope to continue to serve you!
"I'm looking for folks to come over and say, 'We need Ace Hardware,'" Koch said.
The main thrust of the issue, the FAQ sheet Koch sent says, is that the Council has not yet had his development proposal in front of it yet, and he'd like the community to encourage the council to help fast track the proposal.
To make the project work, Koch is asking the city to do a land swap with a private property owner, who is ready to create replacement storm ponds for the City and to build a new facility for Ace Hardware on 228th Avenue NE just south of NE 4th Street, similar in size to its current 11,000-square-foot space.
Koch said he has looked at other properties, including in the Sammamish Town Center, but said the town center turned out to be too expensive for an individual business such as his, and is meant more for a larger developer.
He said it could be some time before any Town Center projects would be ready for Ace to take advantage of. "They are not lining up like cordwood to do this," he said.
The bottom line, Koch said, is that vocal community support could help let the council know that a project for Ace Hardware is important to the city, and that keeping it on the Plateau is good for the local economy, too.
"There are things on the table there that need to happen to make this thing move forward, and I think those items are doable. The main goal here is to just get people to show up," he said.
"What a huge loss for the Sammamish community (if we have to close)—every town needs a hardware store," Koch said, adding that he really thinks his proposal can work and he's appreciated the support of the city council so far.
"This could be the start of a really great thing," Koch said.

After the driest start ever to the calendar year for parts of the Bay Area any kind of rain is big news. Chief Meteorologist Jeff Ranieri tracks the storm and wide ranging rain totals. Plus, Sierra snow totals that could make for very dangerous travel.
This morning was the 'calm before the storm' as we woke up to mostly sunny skies to start Tuesday.
You can expect increasing clouds and southerly winds ahead of a cold front due in tonight across the Bay Area.
Winds should increase to 15-30 mph with higher gusts near the hills and coastline.
The rain will start to fall in the North Bay by the afternoon. The system will move southward through the evening and bring heavy rain to the entire region.
Because there is cooler air aloft, there is also a chance for some hail and thunder tonight and into Wednesday.
The stormy condition will stick around for the rest of the work week, but will clear out in time for the weekend. Rain totals were be over an inch in the North Bay and the Santa Cruz mountains. The valleys will get between .25 inch to .75 inches of rain.
Snow levels will begin to drop to near 3,000 feet Wednesday and Thursday.
The storm is expected to bring much needed snow to the Sierra. By the weekend, ski resorts could be measuring in the new powder in feet.
More than a foot is expected at elevations above 5,000 feet by Thursday morning.

Reviews for Cream Cheese Blueberry Pie
Sort By :
A taste pie, but not anything that I would write to mother about.
Super easy to make and delicious. I also double the cream cheese layer. The last time I made it I used an oatmeal pie crust. Yum!
This was very good! I accidentally left out the whipping cream and it still turned out nice. I love graham cracker crust so I used that instead. And instead of the lemon juice I did the zest like someone previously suggested.
OH! I also doubled the cream cheese filling and it was just the right amount.
Good easy recipe. I would do a few things differently next. One would be to reduce the cornstarch. It came out too thick and syrupy for my liking. More like a blueberry pie filling rather than a topping. I'm thinking 2 tablespoons of cornstarch tops. Also, I might replace the lemon juice with lemon zest and add it to the cream cheese mixture instead. The topping is REALLY sweet. And since sugar is being added to the cream cheese, I might reduce the sugar in the topping next time too and leave half of the blueberries out to mix in at the end to result in a more light and fresh blueberry topping. Overall a good recipe but will tweak next time to accommodate my personal preference.

James Stewart Wins First 250cc
Oakley's James "Bubba" Stewart has become the first African-American to win a 250cc THQ World Supercross GP / THQ AMA Supercross Series competition. A racer since age four, the former MX 125cc Champion crossed the checkered before 43,276 screaming fans to make Supercross history. He also earned the Butterfinger Crisp Holeshot Award with fellow Oakley rider Ricky Carmichael in tow. Bubba led all 20 laps of the main event while RC finished second.
"It took me three races to win my first 250cc," said Bubba. "I have one under my belt, and now I know how it feels." The victory in Dallas was hard earned. "I didn't have a front brake for most of the race, so it was tough, but I made it work," said Bubba after thanking his parents and sponsors for supporting him in the "team effort."
For Sunday's victory, Bubba took advantage of 25 years of Oakley goggle technology with the new Crowbar™ MX. Offering the protection and performance demanded by the world's top riders, the Crowbar™ MX goggle combines the comfort of moisture-wicking triple-layer face foam with the renowned optical clarity of Oakley's laminated tearoff system. Bubba says it's the best fitting goggle he's ever worn, and its 3-D digital contouring offers the widest possible field of peripheral and downward vision.
The kid with the Oakley Crowbar MX goggles talks trash and tech.

Summary:"Help Me Help You" centers on a bunch of people who are all really messed up in different ways and are put in a room together to try and help each other out. The group leader, Dr. Bill Hoffman (played by Ted Danson), is probably the craziest and most self-obsessed of all, but his patients would never know it because he hides behind his very respectable celebrity image as a bestselling author of phenomenally successful self-help books.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Fine floral, mineral, spicy Cabernet blackfruit aromas... impressive, mouthfilling, palate coating, classic Bordeaux Cabernet flavors... handsome claret at an eminently affordable price."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "At the end of the day, if I really have to recommend a wine from this collection, the one I'd buy for my cellar, it will be the 2011 Petalos del Bierzo. The wine is very aromatic and flowery (violets), almost heady, with clear notes of blueberries and licorice. It has a medium body, with a thick..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The red 2011 Dido is produced with organic farmed grapes grown on granitic soils and blends Garnacha, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The aim here is to keep the freshness. Forty percent of the wine is aged in concrete vats, while the rest is matured in clay amphorae and used oak. The result..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "From tank, the l'Oustal Blanc 2009 Minervois Giocoso - incorporating some Cinsault along with its usual Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan - is redolent of incense, freshly-baked ginger cookies, and confitured cherry and black raspberry ... There is terrific grip and lingering spice here, while a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Chianti Classico is absolutely impressive and is one of the best base Chianti Classicos I have tasted from 2011. You feel the ripeness and heat of the vintage, but this wine also delivers surprising finesse and complexity. Black cherry and baking spice mingle on the bouquet. Soft tannins..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... Layers of dark red fruit, flowers and spices caress the palate in this supple, radiant wine. This shows lovely mid-palate presence and plenty of depth within the context of the vintage. This is another gorgeous set of wines from Philippe Collotte ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Given nearly two years' elevage in 40% new barrels (the norm for this cuvee), Maysara's 2009 Pinot Noir Asha displays tart-edged red currant and cherry confiture undergirded by abundant but reasonably fine-grained tannins and suffused with peat, soy and salt for an intriguing and irresistibly..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Deep ruby. Powerful dark berry and cherry compote aromas are complicated by notes of cola, mocha and licorice, along with a smoky topnote. Lush and palate-coating, offering broad blackberry and blueberry flavors lifted by tangy acidity. Rich but lithe syrah, finishing with excellent clarity and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino sweeps across the palate with superb richness and depth. Dark cherries, plums, spices, tobacco and menthol blossom as the wine opens up in the glass. A decidedly large-scaled, dramatic wine for the year, the 2008 impresses for its pure resonance and rich, enveloping..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Luca Malbec comes from three vineyards in the Uco Valley in Altamira, La Consulta and Gualtallary that have an average age of 46 years.

Just because Friday The 13th has passed doesn't mean that us devoted horror fans can't continue to celebrate! And if you're like me, then one of the prides of your collection is the beautiful hardcover coffee table book Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday The 13th written by Peter Bracke. If you've never seen it in person, this sucker is well over 300 pages with over 200 interviews and 600 rarely seen images spanning the entire Friday The 13th series up to Freddy Vs Jason; and it's one of the few books I love seeing up on my book shelf. Now 6 years after it's release, a brand new expanded eBook version has been released via online retailers, making the book available for iPads, Kindles and whatever other digital means you have to read books these days.
Personally I'm still a little behind on the digital revolution, but I'm slowly starting to adapt, having recently purchased and downloaded episodes of FEARnet's own Holliston and SyFy's Monster Man via iTunes, and watching them on my iPhone with a pair of headphones. So why if you already own the hardcover book would you upgrade to this new expanded digital version of Crystal Lake Memories? I recently got the opportunity to sample the eBook and was completely blown away. On top of all the additional interviews added into the original text, you can also zoom into every single high-resolution image and scroll through storyboards and promotional posters; but more importantly, this is the first eBook to implement brand-new software that allows you to read a chapter, then click to open up a video clip showcasing a deleted scene from the Friday The 13th documentary His Name Was Jason. You can also click and hear snippets of Harry Manfredini's original score. In other words, this is the first time I've seen a digital book that was completely interactive. And it's a tremendously exciting thing, especially if this is the first book to do this. Imagine one day reading the latest Stephen King book on your iPad and then seeing King himself give video commentary after the chapter? We're headed in that direction.
I met up with author Peter Bracke to talk in detail about this new version of Crystal Lake Memories, as well as reflect on the 3-year-long process of making the original hard-cover edition. Our chat, along with plenty of additional photo samples of the eBook are below!
It's been years since we first spoke! And here we are again, this time to discuss the eBook version, which I'm sure you couldn't possibly have ever imagined. So why now? What was the reason to revisit Crystal Lake Memories in this new format?
Honestly, after completing the first book, I was so burnt out. I started it in 2002 and the book came out in 2005, so it took me 3 years to complete. And toward the end there, I didn't really give myself enough time. Because when you're writing a book for the first time, you really don't know what you're doing! (Laughs) I kept adding interviews and I was getting the transcripts back and we had something like 2 million words of transcripts, so just to go through the transcripts and mark off what I wanted took about 5 months. I was way behind, but we set a release date and the last 3 months leading up to the release, I just didn't sleep. So I was pretty burnt out for 2-3 years after the book came out. I don't think I watched a Friday The 13th movie in that entire time! I went off to do other things. But I picked up an iPad and I thought it might be a good idea to think about an eBook version. Now, 2 or 3 years ago, you couldn't really put pictures in eBooks, or at least they were black and white only. I thought about doing a text version, but then I started looking into it and I figured, "Well, if I'm going to revisit it, am I going to include the remake this time? There were some people I didn't get to interview; can I include them this time as well?" I went back to my old transcripts and I realized I had to cut a good fourth of the stuff I wanted to put in, so the wheels started turning and I decided "If I'm going to do this, might as well do it right." 5 days after we announced the release date of the eBook, Apple unveiled this cool new iBook software that does video and pictures. I decided "There's no way I'm going to triple dip this thing, the time to do it is now." We decided to push the release date back so we could incorporate this new software. I spent 4 weeks learning this program and redoing the whole book for this iBook 2. Dan Farrands mentioned that we had video from His Name Was Jason, and I called Harry Manfredini and got audio clips from him. So I worked really hard to reformat the original book and incorporate all this cool stuff so that it wasn't the exact same thing.
It's amazing to me. What I saw on the iPad was that not only can you read the text of the book, but you can click and see a video clip from His Name Was Jason, or click on another spot and get an audio sample from Harry's score. People have argued the differences between reading a physical book and then reading it on something like a Kindle or iPad, but this makes it a completely interactive thing, which I think is exciting.
It made it worth it. Initially I thought "Okay, some people may just want a cheap version of the book just to read on their iPad's". So I was okay with just a text version with a couple of pictures at first. But when this iBook thing was announced I knew it was what I wanted to do. It was frustrating that we had to delay it, but it was worth it. I was able to add more pictures. You can blow up and scroll through storyboards and galleries in high-def quality. I was able to go in on Photoshop, go back to the original high-res scans we had, color correct some stuff, and the pictures look even better. I still like print books! But this version's now a third longer. The original one is 200,000 words. This one's 320,000 words. The original had 600 pictures, now there are 992 pictures in this thing. The other great thing is I can update the book anytime that I want. There are still a couple of interviews I'd love to get, so if I get them in the future and add them, you can redownload the book and have the new updates. It works the same as an app. You only have to pay for it once and anytime I add anything, if you already bought it, you can download it the same way you update an app or a piece of software.
That's really amazing. What were some of the things you wanted to expand upon when you tackled this eBook version? Who are some of the new additions to this eBook?
I made a list. Originally, I wasn't able to get Scott Reeves, the lead of Part 8, but I got him now. Or Sharlene Martin. Just random people I wasn't able to get in touch with initially. There were still people who said "no", the big one being Melanie Kinnaman from Part 5. I did a few follow-ups, in particular with Danny Steinmann. Mainly because I felt there were a lot of negative comments about him and it was only fair to let him comment on that. Because there's no space limitations for this version, I let him respond to a lot of things said. In the original book I'd have to pick 2 or 3 quotes here or there, and if you removed parts of it, then later stories wouldn't make sense anymore, so editing and assembling the original book was like a giant jigsaw puzzle. This time I was able to include everything that I wanted. 80 percent of the people before have been expanded now. And I added 16 new interviews.
For someone who lived with Friday The 13th for years through making the book, and even now revisiting it, is there anything new that you could possibly uncover at this point? Was there anything that was new that you learned?
(Laughs) No, but there were stories I'd forgotten about and thought, "Why didn't I put that in the first time?" Then there were things I thought I focused too much on, where I look at it now and think, "Well, this part's kind of boring. I should trim that." If anything, revisiting it gave me a fresher perspective. In the new interviews, I asked a little bit more about the make-up FX. I went back and did more stuff with the FX artists. I didn't want to just go into how each effect was done in the original book, because Fangoria had covered that, and I thought it'd be really repetitive to go through every single make-up effect in every single movie. After a while, you'd get tired of hearing, "Oh yeah, it was really weird to have latex on my face", etc. It would've been a lot of the same stories. But I was able to go back and talk more about the thought process behind the different Jasons from film to film; the different designs that the artists brought to their Jason. It was nice to flesh that out a bit.
Since you did the book, a lot of the behind-the-scene material has been expanded upon. The documentary His Name Was Jason was released by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The same group of filmmakers also did all the new bonus material for the Friday The 13th special editions. And they found all this extra footage and deleted material. Did all this have any effect on how you approached the book this time?
A little bit. Again, I felt I didn't really need to focus on "cut" stuff, if you can just go and buy the DVD and watch it. I definitely wanted to go back and interview Dan Farrands again and talk a bit about finding that footage, so I integrated that. I did change some stuff regarding the ratings and cut material for people that will be reading this for the first time because it would seem dated if we reference lost material that has since been found and restored. Dan (Farrands) did show me documents that prove that some of the footage has been destroyed, in particular for Part 5. So unfortunately that stuff will never be available, but I was able to give updates on all of that.
Well, let's talk a little bit about the success of the book. Because I recall initially book publishers were hesitant to put it out, so you put out the first pressing yourself, and, once it proved to be a success, Titan came on board to publish future pressings.
I laugh about it now, but I was at a screening of Friday The 13th Part 3 in 3D back in 2002 when I first got the idea. I had just wrapped up another book, and my agent had asked me what I wanted to do next; and I knew I wanted it to be a horror book. Freddy Vs Jason had not started production yet and there weren't really making-of featurettes on the Friday DVD releases, so I figured no one was every going to do something for Friday The 13th. So I thought it'd be a perfect project because I love those movies, they'd never been talked about and there are so many fascinating aspects of the franchise worth exploring. Initially I thought I'd do maybe 20 or 30 interviews. (Laughs) I intended it to be a small paperback with an insert with a few pictures. So I started it, but I really felt I needed Sean Cunningham, so it took me 9 months to get Sean on board and I continued from there. Once I had him on board and had started, I went to a few publishers and the main response was "Well, it's Friday the 13th. Is there an audience for this?" There were 3 publishers that were somewhat interested in it, but they weren't sure. So, my task was not only to finish the book but now to prove that it would have an audience. I did a lot of research and one of the things I discovered was that Sideshow Collectibles were doing a lot of these Jason Voorhees models. Immediately they'd sell 10,000 copies of these limited edition figures for around $50-$60 bucks, so I thought if fans would be willing to pay that much for a Jason model, they'd certainly want a book. I created my own website with a mailing list to pre-order the book. We contracted someone to make the cover image, which we still own. We just wanted to see the reaction, so I posted the cover with the pre-order option and we had over 5000 pre-orders. I was able to go back to the publishers and say "I already have 5000 people a year in advance that want to buy this book." We went back and forth still! But then we thought, "Well if we did all this work, why should we give someone else the money from that?" So as crazy as it was, we did the first printing ourselves, which sold out immediately. After doing all the work, then we realized, "This is why you give people money!" To deal with proofs, shipments, setting things up, etc. It was a great learning experience, but I wasn't interested in being a publisher or runing a business like that, so Titan swooped right in and we licensed the book to them.
It's amazing to me because I already own the hardcover book and I love it, but at the same time I'm excited about also having this new version of it. I think for a Friday fan they're both totally relevant and worth owning. You guys are the first to incorporate this technology into an eBook; the idea of implementing video and audio into an eBook. Can you talk a bit about that?
The hardest thing for me was that there are so many different formats with eBooks – the Apple version is different from the Kindle version, etc. And there's nothing I can do about that, so the big challenge was making them all great. The iPad version to me is the best version, but I tried to make them all as similar as possible. And it's fairly cheap. It's $13.99, and any time there's an update, it's yours for free if you already purchased the eBook.
How'd it feel during that period after the book came out to promote it? Because here's a series of films you grew up loving, and now here you are at Fangoria conventions moderating panels with the actors that played Jason, or the directors from several of the movies. It must've been surreal. Whether you intended it or not, you've become part of Friday history!
The trippy thing was when Mark Swift (who wrote the remake) sent me the script for the new Friday The 13th and I saw my name as one of the characters. That was a thrill knowing I'm now a trivia note in Friday history. (Laughs) As far as panels, I always felt uncomfortable. (Laughs) Seeing the remake and seeing the Sheriff wearing my name on his tag was great. It's amazing to do something you love and get to make a living at it. To this day, I still get emails from new people discovering the book and I thought it would've gone away by now! But there's a whole new generation finding these movies now, so I guess it's always going to keep going.

The OXO Good Grips line has been recognized by several national and international organizations for superior design and today is regarded as one of the icons of Universal Design.
The goal of making products more usable forces OXO's product designers to first identify problems and inefficiencies of existing products (including their own), not only in terms of comfort, but performance as well. This gives them the foundation to meet their commitment of making only products that offer tangible improvements. Each year, OXO introduces more than 50 products. Many of these products take more than two years to develop. In fact, a few of the products never make it to the market because they fail to meet the OXO criteria.
The line has grown to more than 500 innovative products covering many areas of the home. Since founder Sam Farber sold the company and retired from OXO in 1995, the company was purchased in 1999 by World Kitchen, Inc., a housewares company based in Reston, Virginia, and then again in 2004 by Helen of Troy Limited. Today, OXO continues to be focused on creating innovative solutions for problems that users experience in their everyday tasks.

No pun intended, but word is there was no denying the guarded optimism in the Colts' early offseason practice sessions being felt by Tony Ugoh and Mike Pollak. The winds of change started blowing at the team's OG spots early this offseason after longtime starting OLG Ryan Lilja was surprisingly released. The way we hear it, both Ugoh, a second-round pick in 2007, and Pollak, a second-round pick in '08, feel like they've been granted new leases on life in pursuit of possible starting OG berths this coming season.
"Ugoh, in particular, seems like a different guy," said one team source.
Both Ugoh, who lost the starting OLT job to Charlie Johnson last season, and Pollak, who suffered a similar fate when he was replaced at right guard by Kyle DeVan, simply fell out of favor with retired offensive line coach Howard Mudd.
"They just weren't producing, and once you got on Howard's bad side, you could typically forget about it," the source said. "But with Pete (Metzelaars) now in charge, it looks like both guys have been given a second chance."
Ugoh, Pollak and DeVan will probably enter training camp with an edge on the OG competition, as each of them has gotten a fair amount of work with the starting unit so far this offseason. But we hear nothing has really been decided yet at the one position on the team — aside from the starting punt and kick returners — where uncertainty abounds.
Also figuring in the OG mix are free-agent addition Andy Alleman, a third-round pick by the Saints in '07 who started two games at right guard and one game at left guard for the Chiefs last season; burly 2010 fourth-round pick Jacques McClendon (6-3, 324); and, to a slightly lesser extent, former seventh-rounders Jaimie Thomas ('09) and Jamey Richard ('08).

Feb. 13, 2013 — In the wake of last month's announcement that the Kentucky School Boards Insurance Trust (KSBIT) program would dissolve, and the uncertainty of possible funding cuts in the future, Carter Schools won't feel much of the heat.
That's according to Supt. Ronnie Dotson and Board Treasurer Andy Lyons.
KSBIT, the collective insurance group that many Kentucky school districts belong to, will dissolve at the end of the fiscal year – meaning that Carter schools will need to find a new insurance provider.
Lyons anticipates an additional $70,000-80,000 will be needed for a new provider.
KSBIT's dissolution will also result in an unplanned financial liability for the county, as all program participants will be required to contribute funds to help pay down the approximately $60 million in liability that the program has accrued.
According to preliminary numbers released last week, Carter County's cut will be $271,999. Paid out over 20 or 30 years, the district will pay $19,000 to $32,000 each year. The decision of how to make the payment will ultimately be left up to the board of education.
A short-term issue is more worrisome. According to Lyons, the district has received about $600,000 less in property tax payments than it had at this time last year.
"And that may just come in later," Dotson said. "We aren't really sure if people haven't made their payments to the sheriff's office, or if it's being held for some reason."
Even with that in mind, property tax revenue is only a small portion of the district's operating budget. Carter County gets 85 percent of its revenue from the Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) funds.
Calculations for the 2013-14 school year project just over $21.5 million for Carter County, which is down slightly from $21.7 million in 2012-13.
Even with those numbers, Lyons and Dotson don't seem phased.
"We are operating with less funding now than we did six years ago," Lyons said. "But our projects are on target for this fiscal year."
"We cut back a million dollars last year," Dotson said. "We currently have half a million in savings and are looking at a much smaller loss this year."
Last year, a million dollar budget reduction was handled mostly through retirement, a system that was implemented several years ago to anticipate a financial crisis.
"Over the last few years we have cut staff," Dotson said. "We aren't going to make any changes to our teacher allocation formulas this coming year."
The Board of Education will vote on the 2013-14 budget in May. Last year's total budget for the district was just over $42 million.

This product "may" help to cleanse the liver/gallbladder. I read about drinking apple juice (malic acid) to help liver/gallbladder stones and instead took this product. It may have improved my liver function, I cannot prove this, but it is my suspicion. If you point the pill the long way in front of your throat, you should have no problem swallowing it.

I choke these down daily, but usually only get half as much as I'm supposed to take because these are near impossible to swallow!
I even tried crushing them and putting them into capsules, only to find out after a few days that if you crush them, the pills then smell and taste like something died.
This is probably a great supplement, but Natural Sources, please make them smaller and in a smooth capsule type shape so they can be swallowed!
It's gotten so bad that I fear getting one of these literally stuck in my throat and not being able to get it out.

I used to take toxic antidepressants, but am now "100% drug-free". During SSRI withdrawal, it is common to get "brain zaps". After doing some research, I found that Magnesium Malate is very helpful in managing and eliminating these brain zaps. I went to the Vitamin Shoppe, and found this product. It has been a lifesaver. I recommend it to everyone who is suffering SSRI withdrawal symptoms. As an added bonus, I used to get migraine headaches almost every day, and since taking this supplement, have not had a migraine in almost two months. Outstanding!

Weeks before Johnstown native and Iraq War veteran Nicholas Horner killed a retired insurance executive and a high school senior outside Altoona, he was arrested in Lilly for drunken driving and possession of prescription pills.
This incident was a significant motivator for the start of veterans court, an aggressive, labor-intensive, multi-agency initiative started in Cambria County in January that recognizes the unique issues many veterans – especially those with war experience – are attempting to deal with, said county District Attorney Kelly Callihan.
"It was that case that made us realize the need for veterans court," Callihan said in an interview at the courthouse last week.
Started in January after more than two years of planning, veterans court was designed to meet the usually multifaceted, often complex needs of men and women who have served in the military or are still on active duty and find themselves in trouble with the law, said Callihan and President Judge Timothy Creany.
"It's so much more intensive than any other program we have outside of the day reporting center," Creany said. "I think this program is something that helps us all. It tries to get to the root of the problem."
The goal of this special court is to get the veterans into treatment programs as an alternative to incarceration, with the hope the people who have served this country will be able to return to a healthy lifestyle and be productive citizens, Creany said.
The court is designed as a pathway to get the veterans or active military personnel into intensive treatment while getting support from other veterans who volunteer to be peer mentors, both said.
In Cambria County, which has the highest concentration of veterans in the state with 15.7 percent of its residents having served, the program is catching on quickly. Every level of the justice system is involved, including police officers who are encouraged to determine if the defendant is a veteran at the time of arrest.
It moves to the magisterial district judge level, where many flagging veterans make Callihan's office aware of their status, she said.
Six months into the special court, no one is willing to call it a success statistically, but indications are it is meeting a lot of needs, Callihan said.
According to figures provided by Amy Birkhimer, the DA's program representative, there are 24 veterans in the program. Three have successfully completed it, four are about to and 12 are in the application process.
Callihan and Creany stressed that the program is not for the violent or more aggressive law-breakers, but more likely for those facing DUI, petty-theft or domestic–violence cases where the spouse wants to save the marriage.
It is built on a two-track philosophy. One track is a diversionary program for first-time offenders who, with successful completion, will have charges against them dismissed.
The second track is for those with prior criminal records, Callihan said, with participation determined on a case-by-case basis. They are able to enter a guilty plea to charges and work to lower the degree of criminal offense against them.
Scott Lilly, Cambria County's chief deputy district attorney, handles the court proceedings and reviews for Callihan while Cambria County Assistant Public Defender Maribeth Schaffer handles the defense. The county probation officer is Richard Rok.
Unlike traditional court programs, the specialty court depends heavily on outside sources, in particular the Veterans Administration through the James E. Van Zandt facility in Altoona and VetAdvisor, a private agency with offices in Ebensburg.
"We in the VA at Altoona are pleased as punch to be part of this veterans court," said Bonnie Clark, veteran justice coordinator with the VA in Altoona. "They're giving vets a second chance."
For those veterans with something other than an honorable discharge, income too high to qualify or no service-related injuries, Randy Levander, a veteran court lead military coach with VetAdvisor, appears in court as an advocate.
"I'm a peer to the veterans, and I help with coordinate care," he said.
Levander, with eight years of active Air Force duty and currently serving in the Air Force Reserve, said his focus is on career, financial, wellness and behavioral counseling for the veterans in his care.
Key to the program is the peer mentor aspect involving veterans who volunteer their time to be a friend and adviser for the men and women in veterans court, Creany said.
Finding, training and supervising the peer mentors who work closely with the defendants is Tom Caulfield, regional director of the Veterans Leadership Program.
"We've really got a good group of peer mentors. They really work with the defendants. They spend a lot of time with the defendants," Caulfield said.
The needs of each defendant vary, and for some of the mentors it involves little more than some cheerleading, he said. For others, it means working closely to help them through difficult times and work with them through employment or housing searches.
In his office, Creany, who served as a Marine in the Vietnam War, maintains a chart on every participant in veterans court. He is optimistic that the program is changing lives.
"I can see the good it's doing," he said. "It's more work, more of a stress and demand, but really for everyone involved, it's rewarding."
Horner was convicted last year of two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths three years earlier of Scott Garlick, 19, a high school senior from Hollidaysburg, and Raymond Williams, 64, a retired Northern Cambria insurance executive living in Blair County.
Horner served two tours in Iraq and one in Kuwait. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and is serving a life sentence in prison.

We purchased the Amsterdam 4 piece luggage set for our recent trip to Germany. The appearance is just as nice as much higher priced items. I was especially pleased by the way this luggage held up through 3 airports in the US and 2 in Germany (both leaving and coming home) it still looks as good as the day we bought it. This includes being lost (isn't everyone's luggage these days?) and a hurried trip from Philadelphia , where it stayed while we left , to a small village outside of Bamberg Germany. I'm very pleased!
We travel often, this set gives us many choices on sizes. Great for big trips when you need larger luggage and wonderful for short weekends. The sizes are great. The quality of this lugage is ever bit as good as much more expensive luggage that we have purchased in the past. Great deal for the buck. You don't mind spending this kind of money of luggage. this luggage will roll through any airport just as easy as more expensive. I would highly recommend this to anyone that travels.
Unlike most people that have reviewd this luggage set, I actually waited for 10 months...and 8 - 12 trips...to submit my review. What can I say about this luggage now? I was excited when I bought this set. It looked great, sounded like a great buy and thought that I couldn't go wrong. Here is what happened: The large piece lasted about 4 trips before the handle broke. Very cheap plastic handles not made to handle the weight. The middle piece lasted about 6 trips and now all of the zippers are broke and there are two big rips in the nylon on the front of the bag. The middle piece is still in great condition. We use it for light trips (15 pounds of clothes and supplies) and usually use it as a carry on or for trips that we make in the car. This piece is what the quality of this luggage is suitable for, not the larger pieces. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to get sturdier pieces. Oherwise you will be disappointed.
I read the others reviews before purchasing this set of luggage, and I admit I was apprehensive in doing so due to the comments about durability. I made the decision to purchase the luggage, and I am pretty happy with it so for. I used to take 2 suitcases when going on a 2 week business trip, now only need to take one. However, with that convenience means you�re likely to pay extra charges at the airport because that one suitcase may now weigh more than 50lbs, and they�ll charge you for the extra weight. I guess I'm lucky because nothing broke or ended up damaged from my first two trips (unlike what others have written). What people really need to consider is that while luggage should indeed be made durable, the folks at the airport do not care one bit about your luggage or how much you paid for it, and will handle it quite roughly... you WILL incur some damage with your luggage over the course of a few trips no matter how much you paid for it. As an experienced traveler, you simply learn to accept that. I think the only exception to experiencing damage to luggage is if you use the Samsonite hard suitcases, but with a set like that comes a very hefty price tag. For the traveler who only makes a few trips a year, this set of luggage will do just fine.
I looked for luggage for quite awhile and I am known by my friends as a great shopper. I looked at all the major department stores, discount houses and outlets before buying this set. This set was better than all the sets I looked at for $50-$100 more. It has pockets for shoes and a small net zipper compartment on the lid. What it didn't say in the ad, but I was delighted to see, was the adjustable straps to hold the clothes while in transit. I received the set on the date promised. This is the first time I shopped on Overstock. com, but it definately won't be the last!
I ordered this set for my mom when she flew to Colorado. It's a nice set for the price but there wasn't any zip compartments on the sides of the inside of the luggage just inside of the top.
I was really excited to purchase this luggage from overstock because I thought it was going to be a good quality product. The first time i used it, it the small carryon bag ripped at the seem closest to the zipper and the second to largest bag ripped in a similar area. I am very disappointed and will never purchase luggage from this site again. I no longer trust their products considering I received such low quality. I will be calling to return this. Don't get it save your self the embarrassment of traveling with a ripped bag and time from returning it via mail.
One of the 4 pieces arrived defective. The retractable handle wouldn't. They haven on online customer service. First and only trip, the plastic side inserts broke on two of the 3 pieces used. Don't waste your money on these cases.
IT's okay luggage but I know won't last long. Wheels are cheap as others have said. Zipper on one bag already breaking..not very happy
Used this set for the first time for a 17 day trip, 5 days in London, 10 in Ireland-2 plus travel days. Had subway steps, train trips. several flights bus trips and being lugged to different hotels-this product did not stand up. The wheel broke on the largest bag and did not hold up after two flights, fabric was ripped and plastic cracked. The smaller wheeled carry on bag was defective in it's design because it would fall over, completely empty or full. The wheel also broke on that bag. I wish I had my 81.99 back. One reason I purchased this was because I thought this was similar to a Signature bag that I have used for years is durable, light weight and has lasted for many years including a 26 day European trip. It is very lightweight but that's about it.

Springfield, Mass. - October 6, 2010 - Freshman Ryan Malone sent the game into overtime with a goal in the final 4:14 of regulation and then tallied the game-winner 37 seconds into the second overtime to propel the Springfield College men's soccer team to a thrilling 4-3 win over Framingham State in non-conference action on Wednesday.
The game was played in constant rain and blustery conditions throughout. Springfield has now improved to 9-3 this season with the win, while the Rams drop their third-straight contest to fall to 7-4.
The Rams nearly struck first at the 13:30 mark but a tremendous save by Chris Walton kept the visitors at bay. After a corner kick by Scott Faria, Jason Silva directed his header into the lower right corner, only to have Walton dive to his left and get his finger tips on the ball to keep the game scoreless.
Springfield finally broke through in the 39th minute on Eric Stalsburg's fifth goal of the season. Danny Amato broke free from the Ram defense at the halfway line and delivered a through ball to Stalsburg. Framingham State goalie Greg Halle ran onto the ball with the attempt to clear it, only to have the ball deflect off both Stalsburg and a Ram defender. The ball then bounced directly to Stalsburg on top of the 18-yard box, and the junior striker made no mistake as the slotted home the empty net strike to give the hosts a 1-0 advantage.
Just 2:39 later, Springfield struck again to take a 2-0 lead heading into the half. Malone started the play as he sent a ball down the left flank to Michael Fowler. Fowler then carried the ball to the endline before delivering a centering pass along on the ground through the box. Alex Reilly was able to free himself from the Ram defense and slammed home the marker from 10 yards out for the Pride's second tally in as many minutes.
With 33:19 left in regulation, the Rams finally got on the board after a strike by Silva. Peter Maranto slipped a pass inside the box and Silva powered a right-footed blast into the lower right corner past a diving Walton to make it a one-goal contest.
Framingham State time the contest up just over five minutes later after a brilliant individual effort by Faria. After a miscue in the Springfield defensive third allowed Faria to recover the ball 30 yards away from the net, the senior captain dribbled through five Springfield defenders before flicking home a shot into the far left corner.
Will Menter appeared to have completed the rally for the visitors as he scored off a free kick with 5:49 remaining in regulation. Menter pounded a free kick on the ground from 25 yards out that deflected off the Springfield wall. The Rams then caught a bit of luck as the ball redirected off the wall and snuck just inside the right post as Walton was frozen on his line, not expecting the redirection.
However, Springfield wasn't finished as Malone produced a bit of magic just 1:35 later to send the game into extra time. With the ball bouncing just outside the box, David Chessen delivered a service into the box, which John Mankus headed across the six yard box. Fowler then in turn sent the ball back towards the goal from the left side, which Malone muscled home from inside the six to send the crowd and bench into a frenzy.
Framingham State has the best chance in the first overtime period as Ronaldo Vieira sent a ball to a streaking Faria. Faria battled alongside Springfield's Sean Nunan on the counter attack for 20 yards before Faria sent a shot towards the right corner which Walton dove to save and force a corner kick.
Malone buried his team-leading seventh goal of the season 37 seconds into the second overtime period to lift the the hosts to victory. Nunan sent a through ball from the right side, which Malone beat his man and the goalkeeper to, before slipping in a goal from 18 yards out to complete the exciting contest.
It was an extremely physical and chippy contest as the teams combined for 52 fouls, including 29 by Springfield. Each team tallied 11 shots in the contest, with Walton making five saves and Halle recording four stops.
Springfield returns to conference action on Saturday afternoon in a critical matchup at Clark University. Kick off is scheduled for 1:00 pm.

Electronic Medical Records: Will Your Privacy Be Safe?
When computerized health information floods the ether, current confidentiality rules won't work.
By Bernadine Healy, M.D.
Doctors are supposed to be nosy. It's not just that they examine your naked body inside and out and record all its imperfections. Physicians are trained to peer into your life, past and present, and ask all sorts of sensitive, if not uncomfortable, questions. Have you ever used marijuana or cocaine? How about steroids? How many sexual partners? Ever had a sexually transmitted disease? An abortion? Had sex with the same sex? How much do you smoke or drink? Have you used Botox or had plastic surgery? Have you been depressed or been treated for mental illness? And how about your marriage—or marriages?
You get the gist; the experience is intrusive. But the doctor-patient relationship was never meant to be other than confidential and privileged and solely for the benefit of the patient. Patients expect it, or they would not be forthcoming. And doctors take the Hippocratic oath, pledging to hold sacred their patients' secrets. This pledge of confidentiality, however, is now challenged by a world where computers rule and health information falls into many hands. One might well ask whether medical privacy is just too outmoded a concept for today's information-hungry world.
We had better decide. Electronic medical records have become a national goal, a way to replace the highly fragmented and inefficient paper system used in most medical settings today. President Obama has made revamping the medical system a top priority, with the national electronic medical record first up in healthcare reform. Indeed, the economic stimulus package assigns billions of dollars to that effort. In light of public sensitivity, this major jump-start for centralized records comes with provisions to further strengthen privacy laws.
However much we Facebook or Twitter about personal stuff, the public remains jittery about losing control of personal health information. Americans treasure their zone of privacy, and polls show they fear that government does not protect nearly well enough the medical information it already accesses. Clearly, once sensitive information is out there, it can't be brought back.
Look at Alex Rodriguez. A breached pledge to keep confidential those urine tests for steroids taken in 2003 has left his career a shambles, and 103 other players are waiting for their results to be leaked to the press, too. Their past transgressions notwithstanding, more than 1,000 ballplayers consented to these tests back then, with the understanding that results would be anonymous. The findings were to be destroyed after the league assessed the magnitude of the problem. (In a similar design years ago, anonymous HIV testing studies helped reveal the size of the AIDS epidemic.) The players' data led to what are now stringent drug testing and penalties, as there were none at the time.
It's easy to translate this situation to a violated personal medical record or, on a larger scale, a research study. Imagine if researchers culled the national health record for information on sensitive groups, whether they be HIV carriers or illegal-drug users. If one of the subjects in the study were under government investigation, might not the other records be sucked up in a sting? Not too far-fetched.
The Institute of Medicine issued a report on privacy of medical records in early February that fuels this concern. The IOM started with the premise that protections for electronic medical records are a must, because the benefit of health IT is so great. The records will speed up access to a patient's health information, cut down on redundant care, and reduce medical errors. Access to the online digital record by researchers also means massive medical databases can be searched, shared, analyzed, and drawn upon. Epidemiological research would be carried out on a scale never before imagined, to improve care, develop better practice guidelines, and determine cost-effectiveness.
Recognizing the importance of the public's confidence in the sanctity and confidentiality of medical records, the IOM came down hard on the current privacy protections that are supposed to ensure this. The group concluded that government rules to protect patients' medical records are simply inadequate. At best, they should be scrapped—or overhauled, at the very least. The report also points to the many security breaches of medical record databases, covering tens of thousands of patients, that have occurred in the past two years, and cites this as a growing problem.
Lack of confidentiality protections for a far more extensive national online record system would surely cause major unrest among most Americans. Despite its shortcomings, the paper record distributed across hospitals and doctors' offices has a limited ability for wide dissemination. A centralized, integrated, electronic record with access to all Americans' files would not only contain more information, but its potential distribution could be measured in the millions, not just the few who could lay their hands on a chart. Would most of those unauthorized eyeballs be gazing for the patient's benefit? Don't think so.
One thing that the IOM calls for is an audit trail of just who accesses online records. In fact, there is no reason that patients themselves should not know who's seen their records, rightly or wrongly, here or elsewhere in the world, where records are now outsourced for insurance review. It's also unseemly that marketers can buy pharmacy information about patients, so they can send them illness-specific advertising, and questionable that insurance companies should send patients mailings that suggest they take a medicine other than the one their doctor has ordered.
Complacency on the part of government about going after violations of medical privacy has stirred up patient concerns. So has the lack of informed consent when researchers use patients' records for studies. Some have complained it's almost impossible to correct mistakes once an electronic record has been created. And if patients visit their doctors imagining that the medical information they provide, which is being typed and sent into a centralized national medical record system before their eyes, might be seen by their employer or just some busybody, they will no doubt be tempted to hide things.
The feds' clout and resources will make the national medical record happen. But to ensure that that record is an accurate and sturdy backbone of a more efficient, safe, and accountable health system, patient privacy is paramount. And now is the time to admit that protecting privacy has not been one of our nation's strong suits.
