Woman answers to charge in crashApril 02,2013Woman answers to
charge in crash
A Brandon woman who police say was in a near head-on crash on Route 7 denied a pair of criminal charges on Monday.
Cheryl L. Barrows, 48, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence of drugs, second offense, and a charge of careless or negligent operation.
Barrows was arrested following a crash in November in which Pittsford police say her station wagon veered into the southbound lane of the two-lane highway and collided with the side of a pickup travelling south.
The driver of that truck, Brian Hitchako, 60, of Ballston Spa, N.Y., told police that the station wagon would have struck his vehicle head-on if he had not steered onto the roads shoulder at the last moment.
Police say a blood-alcohol test of Barrows came back clean. But Barrows told police she had taken a variety of prescription drugs before she drove and was described as being on the verge of falling asleep while she was interviewed at the hospital.MORE IN This Just InSACRAMENTO, Calif.

Press Release
Spring 2011 Softball: Spring Training - Myrtle Beach Randolph College
March 7, 2011
Senior Trisha Moser racked up four hits on the day
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Despite a four-hit effort from senior Trisha Moser (Watsontown), the Pennsylvania College of Technology softball team dropped its first two games of the season against Bluefield and Randolph colleges in Myrtle Beach, Va. The Wildcats lost 9-0 to Bluefield and 10-1 to Randolph. "We're getting the kinks out," said head coach Roger Harris. "We're trying out some things and playing tough competition."
Against Bluefield, Penn College (0-2) played 3 scoreless innings before errors plagued the team allowing the Rams to score three runs in each of the next three innings. In total, only two earned runs crossed the plate. The Wildcats notched three hits with Moser racking up two singles and sophomore Desiree Buffington (Pillow) earning one.
Penn College put a run on the board against Randolph in the sixth inning. Moser singled to score Buffington. Also notching hits for the Wildcats were sophomores Amber Eck (Williamsport), Michelle Goodling (Renovo) and Holly Raybuck (Bellefonte).
The Wildcats will take on Lincoln and Olney Central colleges on March 8 for 9 and 11 a.m. games respectively as they continue their spring training.

The shirt dress has been around in various incarnations for ages. Poiret (whose work is currently exhibited at the Met) designed one of the first styles. In the 1950's, full-skirted shirt dresses were the garb of choice for the era's style icons like Donna Reed. Today's shirt dress is perhaps most closely related to the 1970's version, created by Yves Saint Laurent and Halston.
The price point for shirt dresses is about as varied as it gets. While Burberry Prorsum (the right runway image, above) and Chloe made some super luxe silk version that retailed for several thousand dollars, you don't really need to spend that much. While we covet Luella's Weymouth, blue silk, shirt dress shown here ($402.50, net-a-porter.com), AKA New York's Boyfriend Shirt Dress is equally yummy ($272, shopbop.com). Nili Lotan also makes a slew of awesome shirt dresses that are so amazing even Kate Moss owns them! One of our favorites is Lotan's incredibly soft, Sea Island Cotton Tuxedo Dress ($340, kateboutique.com).
Some other sweet finds include the above Vivienne Westwood's Striped Button-Up dress ($448, refinery29.com) and Steven Alan's Christine Tunic Shirt-Dress ($180, refinery29.com). We also could see ourselves in Trovata's Shoreline Dress, on sale at Barneys New York right now ($119, barneys.com).
To get the most wear out of your shirt dress, you should realize that it's appropriate for almost all occasions. You can wear a short-sleeved, loose version as a chic alternative cover-up to the pool or beach. It's the perfect outfit for a hangover too. Your brain won't hurt, wondering if your outfit works, when you wear a shirt dress, flats, and a headscarf (a quick cover for bed head). For a night out, just belt the shirt dress, add heels, and select a few interesting pieces of jewelry. A long-sleeved version is ideal for cool summer nights because you won't have to worry about losing your sweater. And then when it gets cold, you can just throw it over jeans-perfect!

One Course At A Time
The quality and intensity of a Cornell education is supported by the OCAAT calendar, where students take one course at a time. A general overview of Cornell's One Course At A Time program follows, with greater details provided in the Academic Information chapter.
- The academic year, approximately September 1 to mid-May, is divided into eight Blocks, each of which is three-and-one-half weeks (18 class days) in length. Each Block begins at 9:00 a.m. on the first Monday and concludes at 5:00 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday with the exception of Block Four, which may be adjusted due to Thanksgiving Break and/or Winter Break. A four-day break separates each Block, unless there is a winter or spring break. (See the calendar for exact dates.)
- Readmitted students may enroll at the start of any of the eight Blocks but should apply at least one month before–and earlier if they desire financial aid or on-campus housing. (See Readmission.)
- Enrolled students register in the spring for all eight Blocks of the following academic year. After registration, students may drop and add courses throughout the year. (See Registration and Adding and Dropping Courses.)
- Cornell offers three degree programs: Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.), and Bachelor of Special Studies (B.S.S.), each of which requires a minimum of 31 course credits. (See Degree Programs.)
- Progress toward any of Cornell's degrees is measured in Blocks or course credits. One course credit is given for the successful completion of a Cornell course taken in a Block. Course credits include Block credits and credits from adjunct courses, music lessons and ensembles, advanced placement, and transferred work. As a unit of credit, one Cornell Block or "full course" credit is the equivalent of four semester or six quarter hours. (See Student Classification and Credit by Transfer.)
- Full-time students register for eight Blocks in the academic year. Except for seniors, students may not take vacation Blocks in an academic year without permission of the academic standing committee. (See Registration.) This paragraph does not apply to Continuing Education students.
- The maximum amount of credit that a student may earn in one Block is one "full course" credit. Conversely, students, with the exception of seniors and candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Music, are not permitted to enroll for less than a "full course" credit per Block. Some departments offer concurrent courses, each of which is worth one-half course credit. Concurrent courses must, therefore, be taken in pairs and within the same department or in a related field. Exceptions must be approved by the Academic Standing Committee.
- Students have many opportunities for independent research on or off campus, for internships, and for study in other countries or in other parts of the United States. Such programs vary in length from one Block to one year, and some may be arranged for the summer. (See Registration, and item 10 therein; and also Independent Study Courses and Off-Campus Programs.)
- Adjunct courses (numbered in the 500s) and music lessons, ensembles, and theatre participation courses (numbered in the 700s) may be taken along with principal and concurrent courses. (See Adjunct Courses.)
- Students declare their choice of degree program and major(s) before December 1 of their sophomore year. Students may major in one or more departments or design their own individualized majors. (See Degree Candidacy, Majors and Minors, and Bachelor of Special Studies.)
- Unless otherwise noted, Continuing Education students are subject to the academic rules listed above; however, there are special exceptions that apply to them. (See Continuing Education.)

Just got the word earlier this month. Companion tickets issued after August 1st with the Alaska Airlines VISA may only be used for coach fares. Sigh....
The 5 Best Credit Cards With Airline Companion Tickets (and 3 Bad Ones)
For as long as I can remember, the standard sign-up bonus for a reward credit card has been a "free flight." Yet the truth is that these award flights are no longer free. Between reduced award availability and increased taxes and fees, this benefit has steadily become less valuable. Nevertheless, there is one credit card perk that, while not free, is actually gaining in value. The offer of a companion ticket — a free or discounted ticket for someone traveling with you on the same flight — will always be worth more as airline ticket prices rise. At the same time, it is important to note that all companion tickets are not created equal. Let's take a look at the five best credit cards that feature an airline companion ticket offer, and three other ones that clearly don't make the cut. (See also: The Best Travel Rewards Cards)
The Top Five Credit Card Airline Companion Ticket Offers
These five cards offer worthwhile companion tickets.
Southwest Airlines® Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card
These credit cards do not offer companion passes directly; they just make it really easy to earn one. First, sign up for one or both of these cards and enjoy a sign-up bonus of up to 50,000 Rapid Rewards points each. These points count toward the 110,000 points necessary to earn a companion pass that is valid until the end of the following year. Unlike other passes that are only good for one ticket, once this Southwest pass is earned, travelers can use it for unlimited free travel for a companion on both paid and award flights. So if you buy a flight for yourself, or redeem points for an award, your companion flies free. Therefore, the value of this pass is limited only by the amount of traveling you do. I applied for and received both the business and consumer cards with the 50,000 point bonus, then used the cards to earn an additional 10,000 points to receive the companion pass.
Platinum Delta SkyMiles® From American Express
Delta offers three different SkyMiles cards that each feature different companion passes. Their Gold card has no annual fee the first year, then it's $95. Their Platinum SkyMiles card offers a free companion pass for a $150 annual fee. Finally, their SkyMiles Reserve card offers a free companion pass that is good for both economy and first class flights, but it has an annual fee of $450. Clearly, the best deal here is Platinum card that costs only $150. These passes are transferable, and I have used ones that were given to me by family members. Unfortunately, this pass is only received when your card is renewed each year and only the person flying on the paid ticket will receive miles.
Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Card From Bank of America
Cardholders receive a $99 Coach Companion Fare within 1-2 weeks of opening an account and again each year afterwards. Then the pass can be used on any paid flight in coach. Since Alaska flies many routes to Hawaii, this can be a great way for two travelers to travel for the price of one. Even better, both travelers will earn miles from the flight. There is a $75 annual fee.

British Airways Visa Signature® Card
Not only did Chase make waves with this card by offering outstanding sign-up bonuses, but they give you the opportunity to earn a free companion award they call their "Travel Together" ticket. Cardholders receive this when they spend $30,000 within a calendar year. When booking an award flight operated by British Airways, the Travel Together ticket can be redeemed for a second seat for no additional points. Unfortunately, the second person will have to pay additional taxes and their odious fuel surcharges. Since these charges can equal the cost of a coach ticket, using this companion certificate only makes sense when flying in business or first class.
US Airways® Premier World MasterCard® from Barclays Bank
This card offers two $99 companion tickets each year. These tickets can be used in the United States and Canada, but not Hawaii and Alaska. There is a 14-day advance purchase requirement, a $250 minimum fare, and some blackout dates. Nevertheless, these can be very valuable when traveling to Canada and other expensive destinations.

Cards With Not-So-Hot Companion Offers
On the other end of the spectrum are three cards that appear to offer worthwhile companion certificates, but closer inspection reveals that these benefits may not be as valuable as they seem.
Citi ThankYou Premier and ThankYou Prestige Cards
Both of these cards offer a free companion ticket each year, but with important restrictions. Tickets have to be booked by a company called Spirit Incentives. And although Citi's terms reveal only that "Details will be provided upon card membership," there are many reports out there that Spirit charges significantly more for their tickets than the airlines do, negating the value of the "free" companion seat.
The Platinum Card® from American Express
In my opinion, the Platinum Card (review here) is an awesome card, and its premium class international companion certificate seems like a great deal. But unfortunately, this benefit only applies to full-fare tickets booked through their travel agent. Since these tickets usually cost at least twice as much as discounted tickets, this benefit is only valuable to those who can get a their company to pick up the tab for a refundable international ticket in business or first class.
Virgin America Visa
Virgin offers a $150 "companion ticket discount code." This sounds a lot like an actual companion ticket, but it is just a $150 coupon that you can only use when traveling on another paid fare. Since this card has a $49 annual fee, the actual value is just over $100. There is also a 14-day advance fare requirement and a maximum of three people on the itinerary. This offer is only valid on round-trip tickets, and it wouldn't surprise me if you had to say "pretty please" in order to use it.
Applying for a credit card with a companion ticket offers can be a great way to slash your travel costs nearly in half. By focusing on the best offers out there, and dismissing the ones of questionable value, you can ensure that you will not be disappointed when it comes time to book that half price vacation with your favorite travel companion.

I booked a companion fare from Citi ThankYou via Spirit Incentives. The prices we found were the same restricted airfare that we could find directly on the airline websites.
The one deal is that it's not exactly half off. Even the companion ticket is charged the full rate for taxes and fees.
With the Delta AmEx platinum card, one also receives a free checked bag for each person on the owner's ticket and zone 1, priority boarding. It pays for itself if used by a person who flies often. The companion ticket also pays for the fee and I use it each year to give us a nice vacation, although it is for domestic travel only.
Regarding the Citi Spirit companion passes, there appears to be about a $40-50 premium booking with Spirit. That is to say the "free" companion pass will cost you $40-50, which is not as bad a deal as this blog makes out.
Thanks this was extremely useful as I was looking to doa first class companion ticket to Spain and it seems like I have one real choice for that.
CAUTION: As of October 20, 2013, Citi ThankYou® Premier Card will no longer offer the annual companion ticket for travel.
The Premier Pass had one of the best companion travel programs that I've seen. Unfortunately it was cancelled in October 2013, so I'm going to look for a new credit card.
Due to the US Airways merger they are eliminating their companion certificate offers but they are still soliciting new credit card memberships touting the feature without divulging that it is being eliminated by 2015. Clearly a "bait and switch" tactic.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Over 1,000 competitors from 12 countries are in Charlotte for the Professional Disc Golf Association World Championships.
There are fourteen courses in this area where the competition takes place, including the Renaissance course -- one of the favorite courses for the disc golfers.
On Larry's Look this morning we learned a lot about the game and met some of the athletes, including 17 year old David Wiggins. He set the world distance record for throwing a disc( or Frisbee). That was an amazing 836 feet!

Wilderness Stewardship Award
|Only through the ongoing work of the National Park Service, its partners, and the broad American public will we make sure the special qualities and connections of wilderness landscapes endure for our grandchildren, their children, and beyond.
Joel L. Hard,
The Wes Henry National Wilderness Stewardship Award recognizes outstanding contributions to wilderness stewardship by an individual or group. The National Park Service is honored to recognize the 2012 recipients:
Individual Award
Suzy Stutzman
Intermountain Region wilderness coordinator
Stutzman inspired National Park Service staff throughout the country to realize that wilderness stewardship is a part of everyone's job.
For nearly a decade, Stutzman championed the inclusion of wilderness stewardship into superintendents' performance plans throughout the region and helped integrate wilderness stewardship into park operations. She promoted wilderness awareness and assisted parks with the implementation of strategic tools like the minimum requirements analysis. She chaired the region's Wilderness Executive Committee and, as a key member of the national Wilderness Character Integration Team, she co-authored the newly revised NPS Wilderness Stewardship Plan Handbook.
Recognizing the importance of communicating wilderness benefits to the public, Stutzman helped develop the Ambassadors for Wilderness program at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. Her work to develop the Wilderness Junior Ranger program and booklet, which was adopted and implemented by several parks and more recently by interagency partners, has helped cultivate a new generation of wilderness stewards.
Group Award
Wilderness Character Integration Team
This national interdisciplinary team provided leadership for incorporating wilderness character in park planning, management, and monitoring processes. Led by Peter Landres, of the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute, and Suzy Stutzman, Intermountain regional wilderness coordinator, the team devoted extensive energy and time toward inspiring a new direction for national park wilderness preservation. Their work has led to a greater understanding of, and a deeper commitment to, preserving wilderness character throughout the national park system.
The Wilderness Character Integration Team developed two key products: the document Keeping it Wild in the National Park Service: A user guide to integrating wilderness character into park planning, management, and monitoring, and the newly revised NPS Wilderness Stewardship Plan Handbook.
Wilderness parks pilot tested these products and provided critical input that informed further refinement for the final versions. The accomplishments embodied within these documents and other work of the WCIT provide invaluable resources and direction for years ahead in ensuring the preservation of wilderness character.
The Wilderness Character Integration Team:
- Mike Bilecki, chief of resource management, Fire Island National Seashore
- Carol Cook, program analyst, park planning and special studies, Washington office
- Sarah Craighead, superintendent, Mammoth Cave National Park
- Jeremy Curtis, chief of maintenance, Chiricahua National Monument/ Ft. Bowie National Historic Site
- Tim Devine, wilderness stewardship division, Washington office, Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center
- Sandee Dingman, biologist, Lake Mead National Recreation Area
- Michael Haynie, ranger, Guadalupe Mountains National Park
- Chris Holbeck, natural resource program manager, Midwest regional office
- Chip Jenkins, deputy regional director, resource stewardship and planning, Pacific West regional office
- Peter Landres, ecologist, Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute, Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service
- Adrienne Lindholm, regional wilderness coordinator, Alaska regional office
- Melissa Memory, chief of cultural resources, Everglades and Dry Tortugas national parks
- Christina Mills, wilderness fellow, wilderness stewardship division, Washington office
- Ray O'Neil, ranger, Zion National Park
- Ruth Scott, wilderness specialist, Olympic National Park
- Miki Stuebe, environmental protection specialist, environmental quality division, natural resource stewardship and science
- Suzy Stutzman, regional wilderness coordinator, Intermountain regional office
- Karen Trevino, director, natural sounds and night skies program, natural resource stewardship and science
- Frank Turina, planner, natural resource stewardship and science
- Wade Vagias, management assistant, Yellowstone National Park
Read about previous award recipients:
Wes Henry dedicated his life to the preservation of wild lands. The former National Park Service Wilderness Program Manager was committed to finding innovative ways to educate others about the value of these special places. The Wilderness Education and Interpretation Resource Notebook is a direct result of Henry's unwavering devotion to help connect people to their wilderness heritage.

Nicki Minaj has paid a J$1000 fine after pleading guilty to an obscenity charge in Jamaica. The rapper was charged for a recent performance at the Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay, where her set was "peppered with expletives accentuated by sexually suggestive dance moves." (Yup, that definitely sounds like a Nicki Minaj show.)

Minaj did not appear in court and was represented by local attorney Hugh Thompson, who entered an ex parte guilty plea on her behalf. The Reggae Sumfest 2011 gig was Minaj's first performance in Jamaica, where she has enjoyed local popularity since appearing on a remix of reggae star Gyptian's track "Hold You" last year.

capitalize spring season
Do I capitalize the seasons of the year such as Spring, Fall, Winter, and Summer when using them in a sentence?
3 answers
No, seasons are not capitalized (except, of course, at the beginning of a sentence).

Unless the season is part of a proper name, no, you should not capitalize.
It is a lovely winter day.
I remember watching Summer Sanders train for the Summer Olympics in the spring of 1988.

We do not capitalize the seasons of the year.
Nouns referring to things like seasons are capitalized or not based on pretty much pure chance, I think. We capitalize days of the week and month names, but in Spanish they don't even do that. I'm not sure these would technically be considered proper nouns anyway, since they do not refer to an actual object, but a generally-agreed upon standard for naming of time. You might as well ask why "noon" and "midnight" are not capitalized. The answer is the same, they're just not by convention.

The other side of the Torre storyBy
On Tuesday, I voiced my support for Joe Torre. My reasoning, like many others, is that there simply isn't anyone else better suited to manage this Yankees team. That remains my positio today, though as I read more I'm realizing that I'm succumbing to certain biases. Who knows? Another three days of mulling this issue might make me turn around. Bits of knowledge like this one, found at NoMaas (a site I've grown weary of this year), will do much to expedite a change in my thought process:
All managers, as a group are most effective in their early years on the job. I did a study of 103 managers who managed at least 600 major league games, a group basically including all twentieth-century managers who had significant careers and are now retired. The study documented something which is apparent if you just look at the records. A huge percentage of managers have their best seasons a) when they first get a chance to manage, and b) in their first years on the job.
Nonetheless, the most obvious fact about managers is that almost all managers become ineffective after two or three years in a position.
The most important question that a manager asks is "What needs to be changed around here?" Any manager, over time, loses the ability to see what needs to be changed.
There is the manager's loyalty to his players. A new manager owes nobody anything. He can bench or release unproductive players without apology. An established manager can't do that – not only because of his own reluctance to break faith with players who have given him their best efforts, but because of what it means to the rest of the team.
Another thing…the game of baseball changes, over time, much more extensively than most people realize. The way the game is played now is very different from the way it was played thirty years ago.
The older a manager is, the more likely he is to fight those changes. Older managers are trying to play the game the way it was played thirty years ago, usually without realizing it.
Of course, this not to say that managers always have their best seasons early on. Look at Bobby Cox. He managed the Braves, then was relegated to GM duties, and then returned as manager and went on the infamous division title streak. Many think that Cox is "losing it" today, but I don't remember his job coming into question during his tenure, despite a lack of playoff success. Then again, I'm not a Braves fan, so I'm not always privy to what they're saying about their manager.
The most eye-opening parts of that passage are the final four paragraphs. Joe is very loyal to his players, almost to a fault. In many instances, it worked out — Bobby Abreu is a good example of this. However, that's not to say that Joe's loyalty is the only way to get things back on track. Perhaps sitting Bobby for three or four games would have gotten him back on track faster. Who knows?
The point is, there are two sides to every story. Yes, many of us want Joe Torre back, and there is a valid argument for that. However, as I'm beginning to realize, there is a reason just as valid to can him. To me, this makes the decision that much more interesting.

Joe's main weakness over the past few seasons has been how he has handled the bullpen IMHO. From overusing both J.Nelson and Proctor, under and over using Mo Rivera, staying too long with his SP…I know hindsight is 20/20, but this is my major concern with him. He seems to stick to a set lineup through out the season for the most part, and I think he started doing that with his bullpen to a fault…
This has been the crux of my argument all along, although I admit I didn't research the stats. Sometimes you need to change leadership, simply for the sake of change. Just to infuse new spirit, as it were. This team is clearly in a rut and seems psychologically incapable of approaching the first round division matchup with the right frame of mind. If Torre returns, that will continue to be the case.
Chaos can be good for an organization in small bursts. It's true in business and in sports.
Continuity has great value, but it also stifles innovation and creativity, and limits change. Chaos forces change, some good, some bad. More importantly, it allows an organization to shake off complacency; cast tried and true methods overboard and exchange them for new and better methods. Meanwhile, continuity is risk averse and becomes more and more risk averse the longer it lasts. Torre is a prime example of that…he is as risk averse a person as I have ever seen.
Joseph, i read a very similar article in 'Baseball behind the numbers.' managers have their best seasons early on, and the younger they the better they tend to do (generally).
Torre should NOT manage a team full of young players, especially pitchers, as he always goes with intangible things like "experience" and "guts" over talent, and will absolutely destroy a young psyche as quickly as he will an arm.
I disagree with the notion of a new manager only wins in the first year or two. What about Bobby Cox or Tommy Lasorda, Walter Alston, Casey Stengel, Sparky Anderson, Earl Weaver, Mike Hargrove, Dusty Baker and Tony LaRussa? They have all gone to the WS or won the WS after more than 3-4 years with the club. As a matter of fact LaRussa won last year in his 11 year as manager of the Cardinals, for his only WS Championship.
In response to Mr. Faded Glory,
Didn't Torre manager a team of young players, especially pitchers before!
He didn't destroy Mo Rivera and he had him when he as young.
He didn't destroy Andy Pettitte and he had him when he was young.
He didn't destroy Jeter and he made him his starting ss the first year he was manager and Jeter was young.
He didn't destroy Cano and he is young.
He didn't destroy Melky and he is young.
He didn't destroy Proctor, last I read he finished the year very well for the Dodgers. He also pitched newcomer, El Duque who didn't have any experience in MLB.
Vizcaino pitched 75 innings this year. Last year he pitched 65 for Arizona. He pitched 70 innings the year before that. When he was with the Brewers in 2002 he pitched 81.3 innings and had a 2.99 ERA. So Torre did not overuse him!
I think that Torre gets too much blame and too much credit for what has happened over the years.
Torre's contract should not be renewed. Why is this even an issue at this point. Does anyone want to be sitting here a year from now wondering what went wrong this time. I don't. The Yanks were favored in the 2003 World Series, were favored in 2006 in 2007 and blew a three games to zero lead in 04. The never say die club of the late 90′s has become thetoe tag team of the the 21 cntury.
But the lament goes, who will we get to replace him? How about Bowa or Pena, but they have never won anything you say, check back to 1995 and tell me what Torre had ever won up to that point. Torre managed not one, not two but three different clubs and had one division title to show for it (and was promptly out of the playoffs in three games).
How about Girardi, or La Russa, how can anyone think that the man who has been the highest paid manager in baseball for years deserves another shot at failing.
Forget it, let's move on.

By JAMES COOK firstname.lastname@example.com
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — The Detroit Red Wings will have achance to have a little more pro-minent presence at Centre ICE.
The Red Wings (3-0) will play Buffalo (3-0) at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the NHL Prospect Tournament championship with a chance to put Detroit's name on the tourney trophy for the first time, as well as get a banner and the team's name on the newly-added mural of past champions in the arena atrium.
"We talked a little bit about that," Red Wings center Andreas Athanasiou said. "We talked about that they've never won it. I like to win; it's part of my game. When I heard that, I thought, 'Here's my chance to show them.' I win everywhere I go, so I thought this would be a good opportunity."
And with three goals in his first two games, Athanasiou has certainly been doing his part.
"With the Wings not winning one of these Prospects tournaments yet, it'd be a cool experience," forward Riley Sheahan said. "All these guys have been working hard in the off-season, so it'd give them something to talk about when they go back to their teams."
The Red Wings defeated St. Louis 4-1 Sunday night to set up matchup between the tournament's only two undefeated teams. Detroit goals came from Xavier Ouellet, Zach Nastasiuk, Tomas Jurco and Anthony Mantha (empty net). Jake Paterson stopped 22 Blues shots.
Detroit and Buffalo were the only teams undefeated entering tonight's final pool-play games.
Dallas' 2-1 shootout win over Minnesota sealed Detroit earning the top spot in the Gordie Howe Division, while Buffalo's 7-4 win over Carolina earlier Sunday made the Sabres 3-0 and clinched the Ted Lindsay Division crown.
The Red Wings have never won the Prospects Tournament they have hosted since it started in 1998.
For winning its division, Buffalo gets to keep its large locker room next year. The Sabres are the reigning Prospect Tournament champion from 2011.
The Red Wings will have to figure out how to stop Nicholas Baptiste, who has four goals and seven points in three tourney games.
YOUTUBE COMPETITION: Athanasiou joined Jurco as an Internet sensation after his Pavel Datsyuk-like break-away goal in the Barrie Colts' Blue/White intersquad game was put on YouTube and soon had almost 100,000 hits.
"I didn't even know what it was," Athanasiou said. "I was talking to one of my buddies, and he was like, 'Nice YouTube video.' And then I went and saw it. I think it was like 95,000 views.
"It was the Blue and White scrimmage there, so the fans come out there and support us in a small main camp like that. So I tried to impress them and give them a little entertainment."
But Athanasiou has a way to go to match Jurco, whose YouTube video of trick stickhandling moves went viral before the Red Wings drafted him in the second round last year. Jurco currently has five videos on YouTube that have over 240,000 views, including two with more than 348,000.
"I've seen his," Athanasiou said. "He's unbelievable. I can't do what he does. What he does — I don't even know how he does it. It's ridiculous."
CAPTAIN STATUS: Sheahan, Tomas Jurco and defenseman Max Nicastro have been wearing the team's "A" captain patches during the tournament.
They happen to also be the Wings' only three American Hockey League veterans as the tournament.
"Max, Jurco and Sheahan, all three of them were with us most of last year," Grand Rapids Griffin coach Jeff Blashill said of the teams' run to the Calder Cup. "In Sheahan and Max's case, they're older guys. We thought it was a great opportunity for them to be leaders.
"Riley Sheahan and Tomas Jurco are coming here after spending a year together in Grand Rapids, where they were very good players. They were nice pieces to the puzzle, but they weren't night in, night out go-to players. I think this is a good chance for them to be the go-to players."
JUNIOR JUMP: Many of Detroit's prospects in the tournament are hoping to make the leap from juniors or foreign leagues to the likes of the AHL soon.
Those include Martin Frk, Athanasiou, Ouellet, Ryan Sproul, Teemu Pulkkinen, Calle Jarnkrok, Rasmus Bodin and Alexey Marchenko.
Blashill's thoughts on some of those hoping to make the jump:
• "Jarnkrok, obviously has been a great players in the Swedish league. He's been in the top eight in scoring for two years in a row. He's an extremely highly thought-of prospect, not just by the Red Wings, but by lots of organizations. He's got a great, great mind for the game. The transition part is learning to play the North American game. He got nine games last year, but that's not very many. And it was nine games at the end of the season, which is hard. ... At some point, he learn to be as effective in North American hockey as he is in the Swedish Elite League."
• "Pulkkinen, he was with us longer and with is for the (Calder Cup) run and with us for the playoffs. Pulkkinen has great offensive ability. He'll have to continue to learn the defensive aspects, but the think I like about Pulkkinen is he cares a ton and he wants to be a player and he wants to win. He has a great attitude, and he'll continue to get better at those things."
• "Paterson was great. And the reason he was great was that he made all the stops he was supposed to make. He didn't give any life to the other team."
• "The one guy to me that is really ready-made that I think his transition is going to be the easiest, is Ouellet. I think he's somebody who plays a really efficient game, and in pro hockey, you can't make up for mistakes, so you have to be very efficient. ... He's somebody who doesn't make mistakes, yet he can add offense."
BEING A HIT: Sheahan
"I was just trying to focus on playing my game and being more physical," Sheahan said. "In the locker room, trying to get the guys talking a bit and getting them to feel more comfortable on the bench. Out there, if they're playing with lots of things going through their head, they're going to make mistakes. And the guys did an awesome job. For the first game, I think we did awesome."
"It's something that as a coach, we didn't emphasize enough to him early," Blashill said. "Throughout the season, we started to talk lots more about it and in the playoffs. Riley is a very good defensive player, he's got very good offensive ability. But if you can be physical, you can have an impact every single night, whether you are scoring or not. And I also think when you get into a playoff series, you can wear on other teams."
"It was my first game experience since we won the Calder Cup," Sheahan said. "It was good to get back at it."
ICE CHIPS: Athanasiou on his incredibly thin-palmed hockey gloves: "My palm is really thin there, so you get a really good feel on the stick," Athanasiou said. "If I could, I'd probably take off all the palm and play with the bare hand. It definitely gives you a better feel." ... Paterson is liking the lack of confusion about his name this time around. Earlier this summer, the Wings had the Saginaw Spirit netminder in development camp, as well as another goalie named Jake Patterson. "It's nice," Paterson said. "A lot less questions about the two Jakes this time around."

Post-Fire Studies
In 2002 and 2003, over 1500 square miles of southern California burned in firestorms unequaled for over a century, the largest fires since accurate records have been kept. Because of the fires� unprecedented size, their effects on the ecosystem were unknown and unpredictable. Over 738 square miles burned in San Diego County alone, 17.4% of the county�s total area and nearly 25% of the area still covered by natural vegetation. The Cedar fire of October 2003 alone burned 436.4 square miles and was the single most pervasive disaster in San Diego history. The fires killed 17 people, compelled the evacuation of thousands, burned 2454 houses, blanketed the region under dense smoke for a week, and shut the business of the city of San Diego down for two days.
Areas burned in San Diego County in 2002 and 2003
These wildfires also reignited the debate among resource managers, politicians, scientists, and the public about the strategies appropriate for people to live in the fire-prone ecosystems of southern California. This debate among vegetation and fire ecologists began in the early 1980s (Keeley 1982, Minnich 1982, Minnich and Chou 1996, Keeley 2002) but has now sprung to the forefront of the public eye and resource managers� needs.

The mayor of East St. Louis is the city's liquor commissioner. He also appointed himself to the Liquor Commission and has strong influence on rules, fines and penalties for liquor establishments. This includes appointing precinct committeemen and others who tend to follow his ruling.
A case in point would involve Club 103. The murder that occurred outside on the parking lot was in view of the Police Department. The Liquor Commission fined Club 103 $1,500 and suspended its license for one month. This brings to question the recent ruling of the mayor and commission for the murder that occurred in back at Denese's Place with 50 people sitting outside. This club received a $500 fine and a two-week suspension.
If the mayor and council had standard policies and procedures in place for violence and murders at clubs, this type of variance in fines and closures would not be called into question. The decision of fines and penalties solely rests on the determination of the Liquor Commission and the mayor, who is the liquor commissioner.
Considering the constant pressure of the mayor promoting and supporting nightlife activities, there is a definite need to have more police presence surrounding clubs to prevent violence. Since the council fails to question the mayor, it makes you wonder who is in control. If policies and procedures are not in place, who knows if the fines are actually being collected?

---- — NORTH ANDOVER — Despite fighting for their homeland, veterans frequently don't have a home to call their own when they return from overseas duty.
Veterans' Services Officer Edgar Mitchell told the Community Preservation Committee last night that he was working with a veteran who was living in his car. Mitchell said he was able to get a home for the veteran until a local landlord stepped forward.
Mitchell said there are now 14 North Andover veterans who need housing. It is for that reason Mitchell and other members of the Veterans Housing Task Force propose to buy a vacant, rundown two-family house at 138 High St. and transform it into two homes for people who have served in the military and their families.
They also hope to erect another building on the three-quarters-of-an-acre site that would have three apartments for veterans. Mitchell, John Ratka, executive director of the Veterans Northeast Outreach Center, and other task force members appeared before the Community Preservation Committee last night to request $391,000 for the project.
The committee is charged with recommending how the town should spend the proceeds of the 3 percent community preservation surtax residents pay on top of their real estate taxes. Town Meeting has the final word.
Several neighbors of the proposed veterans housing expressed concerns about the project, but Ratka spoke with them after the meeting and said he will answer their questions. Mitchell said the project "is going to improve a distressed property."
Ratka, whose organization has built many homes for veterans in Haverhill, said the renovated structure will be "something that enhances the neighborhood." Daniel Lanen, a task force member, said the proposal is compatible with the High Street neighborhood, which has many multifamily houses, he noted.
Several neighbors said they were most bothered by the plan to build another house on the property.
Leonard Provost, of 157 High St., said he worries about added congestion in the area.
"I just don't think it fits in the neighborhood," he said.
Dan Drover, of 126 High St., said parking in the neighborhood is very limited. Drover said he is not against renovating the two-family house that's already there, but will oppose the construction of a three-family structure on the site.
If the project wins approval, Veterans Northeast Outreach Center will own and manage the property. Terry Holland, a member of the Community Preservation Committee, said he has visited some of the homes the organization manages in Haverhill and was impressed by their "immaculate appearance."
The Community Preservation Committee did not act on the Veterans Housing Task Force's proposal last night. The committee will vote on recommendations on how to spend the community preservation money before the May 21 annual Town Meeting.

Beings of fear and horror, undead are animate reminders of death's inevitability. Lurking, lurching, and always hungry, undead are drawn to the heat of the living. Liches, skeletons, zombies, and even more fearsome shambling monstrosities shudder with ungainly grace after meals of blood and souls. And once a vampire has drained the life of a victim, it exhibits the most horrifying ability of all: The shell of its victim animates, turning into another of the walking dead.

Why not just count votes like everyone else?
The reason for the rating system is to achieve a balance between popularity and quality; so that a book does not win simply because it has been read by more people.
When a committee of judges votes on an award, all the judges will have read all the shortlisted books, so that they can make an informed decision about which deserves to win. However, most people voting in 'popular' book awards have not read all the books on the list, so they are only in a position to cast a vote for the books they have read (and will tend to do so, even if they've only read one book on the list, and even if they did not consider it particularly exceptional).
Obviously, this sort of voting favors the most widely read books, which are not necessarily the 'best' books. For example one of the top 3 most widely read books shortlisted for the 2005 Awards actually scored at the bottom of the table when the ratings were factored in!
When voting in the BookBrowse Awards, a person has the opportunity to rate the books he/she has read, instead of simply casting a vote.
How many votes are cast?
Depending on the number of books on the shortlist there are normally between 3000 and 5000 votes.
Don't the books at the top of the list get an advantage because people might not take so much care with their voting further down the list?
No, because the display order is randomized each time the list is viewed.
Where do I go to vote?
Only BookBrowse subscribers are eligible to vote. A voting link is sent directly to subscribers by email. If you wish to be part of the voting process in the future, make sure that you're on our mailing list either as a subscriber to our free newsletter, or as a member, or as a patron of a subscribing library.
Why is voting limited to subscribers only?
Because it significantly limits the opportunities for "vote stuffing". For example, where one person enters multiple times with different email addresses, or groups of people enter for the sole purpose of voting for one particular book.
Most consumer awards allow, even actively encourage, those connected with the short listed products/books to contact others to get them to take part in the voting, because this drives up interest in the awards and the business that is sponsoring the awards. However, for obvious reasons, this behavior significantly skews the results.
The BookBrowse Awards voting process is designed to award books based on their inherent quality, not on the size of someone's mailing list!
What about new people subscribing in order to vote?
The request to vote is only sent to the existing subscriber base, it is not announced on the website at all. To be on the safe side, we also monitor the number of new subscribers during the voting period, looking for any abnormalities in the numbers. If there was a significant increase in the number of signups during the voting period we would look carefully at how those votes had been cast!
Why can't I vote for books not on this list?
More than 100,000 new books are published each year in the USA alone. If everybody voted for their favorite books, we would end up with an unmanageably long list which would be next to impossible to analyze and would likely result in no clear winner. Having said that, in recent years we have added an additional field for you to enter names of books that you feel particularly noteworthy. If we find a significant number of people recommend a particular book we will include it in the final results.
Most awards are based on first establishing a 'long list' of potential books, which is reduced to a 'short list' of titles that are read and voted on by the core judging committee. In the case of BookBrowse, think of every book recommended at BookBrowse over the past year as the long list. The shortlist is chosen by our reviewers who each recommend the books that they feel are most memorable from the year; and you, BookBrowse's members and subscribers, are the judges, voting to select the final winners.
Do people have to rate every book they've read?
Please rate every book you have read even if you considered it 'average'. In the same vein, please do not rate books that you have heard about but not read yourself!

Once I again I would like to kindly request your opinion on my situation. I have found your input extremely helpful and really appreciate it. Ex-boyfriend called last week saying he is coming back for a weekend and wants to take me to a common friend's wedding as a date. He says he has not forgotten about me and still thinks a lot about us. All this after I have already done quite some work trying to move on with my life and put our relationship behind. Based on logic, on your replies to my post and own self conviction that this was what i needed to do. We had such good times when he was here I kept wondering why he did so much to make me happy and please me in so many ways. I felt I got what no woman has ever gotten from a man ever. But on the other hand he is confusing me with his behavior. as to what it means that he has not forgotten about me and wants to see me when everything was over when he left. I haven't agreed to be his date for the wedding I agreed to talk to him only. I want to see him in person and hear what he has to say. Needless to say I have been going crazy trying to see what I feel and what I should do. I have already RSVPed for the wedding there is no turning back on that. What are some of the things that I can for this wedding/visit something that won't hurt me. What will be the best approach to take?
Thanks again. I look forward to your replies.
back in june I wrote:
I had a relationship for three months with someone who I know from the beginning was going to leave after such time. It was clear for both of us we would not see each other ever again after that. All was wonderful and we had a great time together. He made everything so special by being caring and attentive with me. Things I never expected since we couldn't carry on with the relationship further. 2 wks prior to him leaving when I was experinsing some serious feelings for him he metioned he was possibly going to come to town in 4 months for a common friend's wedding for which I was invited also. I told him I was always under the impression that we would never see each other again. He said "I don't know". I was really upset because he was giving me hopes that we could continue when in reality that was not possible. I didn't show my anger and just told him that I didn't know either. Good bye was not easy. He kept telling me I should move on and find someone else. That he will contact me months later just to be friends. All that was said with the most straight face with no emotion whatsoever. I cried a lot not for him leaving but more at the fact that he wanted to keep me in suspense, change plans, not respect what we had planned, and minimizing my feelings by suggesting I go find another. He wrote to me a week later. Among other things that sounded condisending he said the time we spent together meant a lot to him. I want to write back and tell him i appreciate his words but also that I am upset.That I felt he didn't really value me as a person for wanting to change plans and making good bye even harder on me. It was insulting that he said I contacted his friends if I wanted to know about him. That if I wanted I could go visit him in some years ahead and meet his wife and kids. I want to be ok with him for all the wonderful things we had together but I don't think I can if I don't hear an apology from him. Should I write back and tell him how I feel or just forget about it and let him think I'm the happiest person in the world.
He's living his own life without you and, no offense, I think he called you just because he was going to be in town anyway. If he really cared about you, you would have been hearing from him on a regular basis.
There's nothing in either your original post or the new one to indicate that he's interested in a relationship but, because you were so heartbroken when he left, you're reading hope into the fact that he's invited you to the wedding. I really don't think there's anything to be hopeful about.
I hope I don't come off as being harsh, but if you do get your hopes up, you'll almost surely end up being heartbroken again. You've done the hard work of trying to get over him, and it would be will be so difficult for you if you backtrack and then have to do it again.
Hard as it may be, the best thing is not to go with him. If you see him there, just talk to him briefly, like you would anyone, and then excuse yourself. I wouldn't accept any invitations from him while he's in town. The more time you spend with him, the more you'll get your hopes up and the more it will hurt when he goes back home and nothing has changed.
You knew when you entered into a relationship with this man that he was only going to be around for 3 mos. You became very infatuated with him. When he left (as was always planned) you were very upset and ANGRY with him. You wanted to write him a rather 'you b*stard!' kind of letter because why? he treated you too well and then left? Mentioned he might see you again at this upcoming wedding? As far as I could see in your original post 2 mos. ago and this one, the guy was straight up with you. He was a great fling, but it was still just a fling to him.
Today you ask, "What are some of the things that I can for this wedding/visit something that won't hurt me. What will be the best approach to take? "
Since you are afraid you will be hurt just by seeing him, don't go to the wedding as his "date". Go with one of the other mutual friends, ideally a group. Spend the event hanging with them. You can speak with him politely at the reception ofcourse, "catching up" a little so to speak, but there is no reason to spend a length of time alone with him. Word to the wise: don't consume much alcohol at the reception. You've made some progress getting over your intense feelings for him, you don't want to feel embarrassed the next day by "letting it all out" to him after too much wine.
You write there is no turning back in going to the wedding because you RSVP'd. Nonsense. A wedding is not childbirth; you can change your mind about going if you feel it will be too stressful - a setback for you.
Whatever you choose to do, please keep in mind HE WILL BE LEAVING after the wedding. You need to do what's best for you and your peace of mind.
This is not a good look in any relationship. If you want to know how someone feels, simply ask. Which leads me to this: you are unsure of his feelings for you, no? If he really wanted to give it a go again, he would tell you. Instead, all he's said is he was thinking about you (again, he should also be direct in how he's feeling... this is vague and can be misleading) and has invited you as a date to a wedding, which is another signal that women can misread.
Now that I've read the rest of your reply above... in response to the one-night stand question you posed to him, he said it would set you back in the process of getting over each other. That sounds to me like a clear sign he is not wanting to be serious with you.
Don't leave the decision of closure or reopening a wound up to him. You're handing over your power that way. You can decide whether or not you want to see him again, and you sound like you don't want to, because you want to do what's best. I applaud you for that. Stick to your guns and be firm, direct and honest with him.... and don't feel bad about whatever hard times he is experiencing from you. That is his problem and his alone.
Sorry to be so blunt. I just think the answer is clearer to you than you believe. You've been on the path to closure, and this is a test for you. Listen to your gut and continue doing what's best for YOU.
The way I see it is that you're getting over him quite well but you're not completely there yet. If you were, you would realize that if he chooses to be miserable, if he says he can't get over you it is not your fault.
Go to the wedding and enjoy yourself. You don't have to be his date. In fact, you might find that seeing him in this kind of circumstance could help you get over him.
You are in charge here and you're doing quite nicely. Please stop giving him straws to clutch at just because you feel sorry for him or because of some misplaced feeling of guilt. You had an agreement and now it's over. You are both free to live your lives as you see fit. Do not adapt your plans just to make him happy.
Good luck and keep us posted!
I have to agree with the PP's. In June you explained that you had developed deeper feelings for this man than you had expected considering the arrangement the two of you had for the short term involvement. I think agreeing to talk with him or accompany him to the wedding, and especially mentioning a one night stand, would do you more damage than any good for yourself. It's like you're opening that can of worms that you've been carrying around in your pocket. You've experienced a break up, regardless of the short term agreement, and it seems as though you were/are doing well. And anything other than attending the wedding as FCL suggested with a group of friends AND hanging with that group of friends as a group enjoying the event would be detrimental for you and the progress you have made. If he and you happen to start conversation during the reception and all, or happen to bump into eachother while you are there, keep it short, sweet and move on with the others in the group. I wouldn't want to be giving him any indication that anything further than what the two of you already had and agreed to, was an ongoing, open-ended, booty call(Sorry). Or that you are (still?)devasted or hung up on the situation the two of you had. I think it was Spanky who commented not to hand over your power to him, and IslandL calling it what it was; 'a great fling', and cjh1203 suggesting not to accept "any" invitations from him.
Don't let him think you are the happiest person in the world, BE the happiest person in the world. That will speak volumns.
Why? If you don't want a long distance relationship, something serious, or sex with him - what difference does it make what he wants? And since you have spoken by phone, why don't you just call and ask him, outright what he wants, instead of waiting to see him at the wedding?
You say you want closure. Okay. What is it you want him to say that you feel would give you closure? Sometimes when people say they want closure what they really want is an opening to resume the relationship. If you don't want anything more from this man than you've already received, you already have closure.
If you want something else from him, you need to acknowlege what that is and address it directly. Preferably not at someone's wedding celebration.
OP, if you have the strength then do what PP's said. Any movement towards him will be more work on you in the long run to get over. You had an amazing 3mos because you both knew it would only be 3mos -- like some romantic movie where two people meet abroad and have this incredible romance....it is not reflective of everyday reality. Tell him you prefer to keep it left the way it was/is. It has a good ending right now, you don't want to push for a bad ending. Talk with him and move on. Don't be his date. You both sound like you're full of mixed messeges to me. Your best bet is to be totally honest. There's no reason to fear honesty. The big picture is that he will respect your honesty in the long run and that will help him get past any hurt that he may feel.
And maybe if he knows you enough to know that you are not into having a one night stand with him, he may be using his words to play you to hook up with you again while he's there. Idk because idk him, but that is a possibility. Probably the worst thing you can do is sit back and only react to what he does or says, you need to keep control of this and direct things the way you want them to be. GL
