The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
Is it just me or has the Archdiocese of Boston lost its mission in the community and church?
Two articles in the Salem News published on Thursday, Dec. 20, on the front page greatly disturbed me. The first article, "Demolition begins on church convent," explains the plan of the diocese to tear down the church building sometime in January. This is all part of their plan to build affordable housing on the site. Initially, this sounds like a good idea. The question I have is why the Archdiocese of Boston is now in the housing rental market. The Planning Office for Urban Affairs, an archdiocesan-affiliated developer, is in the process of building 51 apartments with retail space on that site. This is a project more commonly conceived by a private developer. Shouldn't the church, our church, our religion, be tending to the business of propagating the faith?
The archdiocese has admittedly stated that they have erred in closing down so many churches and no more will be closed and sold. St. Joseph Church in Salem could have been reopened as late as one year ago. The property was and is still owned by the church before the demolishing began.
All of the preceding is certainly not new information to the readers of The Salem News, the citizens of Salem or the members of the Catholic parishes in Salem. St. Mary's Italian Church was the only other beautiful church closed in Salem. Because of their proximity to the downtown area, these two churches, both with exceptional value, were chosen to defray the high cost of settling the court's decision of pedophile priests in the diocese.
The second article in the News that day was located on the top of the front page pertaining to, you guessed it, the Archdiocese of Boston: "Archdiocese rejects independent Catholic school for Salem." Amazing, all the diocese had to do was lease the property to the Nativity Preparatory School system, which successfully operates several other similar schools in the Boston area and is not part of the archdiocese's school system. The concept of this independent Catholic school has one mission. They would target male students from low-income families, particularly from the city's largely Latino Point neighborhood. This would have presented a huge opportunity to those children in need.
As Lucy Corchado stated, "Here's an opportunity for low-income, underprivileged kids to get a private education for free and for the archdiocese to kind of turn that down was surprising to me."
Barry Hynes, a former Boston city councilor who helped start Nativity Prep schools in Boston and New Bedford, stated, "I'm just kind of disappointed that we weren't able to come to an agreement with them on the building. It's a wonderful location. We could have done a nice job with that building."
The above paragraph explains it all. It is a wonderful location but for the business-oriented Planning Office for Urban Affairs, which I am certain has or will have plans to build apartments with retail space on that site, as well. Remember, this is another piece of church property with proximity to the downtown area and as such is very valuable.
It appears to me that the Archdiocese of Boston has definitely lost their mission and has made another bad choice, sacrificing education and religion for monetary reasons.

By Karin Laub and Mohammed Daraghmeh
The Associated Press
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian self-rule government is in "extreme jeopardy" because of an unprecedented financial crisis, largely because Arab countries have failed to send hundreds of millions of dollars in promised aid, the Palestinian prime minister said Sunday.
The cash crunch has gradually worsened in recent years, and the Palestinian Authority now has reached the point of not being able to pay the salaries of about 150,000 government employees, Salam Fayyad told The Associated Press. The number of Palestinian poor is bound to quickly double to 50 percent of the population of roughly 4 million if the crisis continues, he said.
"The status quo is not sustainable," Fayyad said in an interview at his West Bank office.
The Palestinian Authority, set up two decades ago as part of interim peace deals with Israel, is on the "verge of being completely incapacitated," Fayyad warned. Only a year ago, he said he expected to make great strides in weaning his people off foreign aid.
The self-rule government was meant to be temporary and replaced by a state of Palestine, which was to be established through negotiations with Israel. However, those talks repeatedly broke down, and for the past four years the two sides have been unable to agree on the terms of renewing the negotiations.
In late November, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas won U.N. recognition of a state of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, overriding Israeli objections to the largely symbolic step. On Sunday, Abbas asked his West Bank-based government to prepare for replacing the words "Palestinian Authority" with "State of Palestine" in all public documents, including ID cards, driving licenses and passports.
Israeli officials declined comment, including on whether Israel would prevent Palestinians with new ID cards and passports from crossing borders and checkpoints.
The U.N. bid gave the Palestinians new diplomatic leverage by affirming the borders of a future state of Palestine in lands Israel captured in 1967, but changed little in the day-to-day lives of Palestinians.

About Wolfenstein: The New Order
The New Order is set in an alternate history circa 1960, which depicts a world where the Nazis emerged victorious in World War II. Taking control of hero William �B.J.� Blazkowicz, gamers battle legions of Nazis across Europe and infiltrate enemy strongholds, in what is described as an �impossible counter-offensive� against the Nazi powers.
- PSU Review Score

- Avg. user review score:

You must be logged in to rate a game
A triumphant return for the Wolfenstein series. Despite some lack-lustre boss battles, killing Nazis has never been so much fun.
We like
- Great narrative, characters and voice-acting delivers an excellent production that engages throughout.
- Strong level design encourages tactical play. Switching between combat and stealth gives the game a nice pace.
- Meaty weapons, slick control scheme (including cover system) and impressive A.I. deliver an all-round challenging and immersive shooter.
We dislike
- Boss battles lack originality.
- Being forced to pick up ammo and med-kits by constantly tapping Square gets a little annoying.
- A skill system with point assignment would have made more of an impact than a perk system that runs in the background and can easily be forgotten about
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
In a terrifying alternate reality the Nazis have won World War II, though not in the conventional way. With advanced technology on their side they've turned the tide on Europe and have forced the United States to surrender with a heady mix of cyborg dogs, giant robots and pure evil. London landmarks such as Big Ben and St Paul's Cathedral still stand but are dwarfed by a colossal Nazi fortress. The English capital ...

Left fielder Greg Halman #56 of the Seattle Mariners makes a running catch of a fly ball off the bat of Mitch Moreland of the Texas Rangers in the seventh inning at Safeco Field on July 17, 2011 in Seattle.
Dutch-born Seattle Mariners outfielder Greg Halman was stabbed to death in his homeland early Monday and his brother has been arrested in connection with the killing.
Details were not immediately clear, but the stabbing occurred in Rotterdam.
"A 24-year-old died this morning in a stabbing and we have arrested the 22-year-old brother of the victim," a Rotterdam police spokesman told Reuters.
The brother's name was not released.
"He is under arrest and right now he is being questioned," Rotterdam Police spokeswoman Patricia Wessels The Associated Press. "It will take some time to figure out what exactly happened."
The outfielder was born in Haarlem, Netherlands. He was a graduate of Mendel College, in Holland, and spoke four languages. Halman's father and brother played on the Dutch national baseball team, and his sister, Naomi Halman, is a professional basketball player in Europe.
The 6-foot-4, 200-pond Halman was seen as a power-hitting prospect, especially after hitting 33 home runs in 2010 at the team's Triple A team in Tacoma. However, astronomical strikeout totals tempered expectations. Last season, Halman was called up as a backup outfielder late in the year and batted .230 with two home runs and six RBI.

Beginning the last week of April through out October, turtles come to our fabulous beach to lay their eggs. Today, there are 7 endangered species of sea turtles which 4 of them reach our shores: hawks-bill, loggerhead, leather-back and Green.Female turtles emerge from the sea, locate the right place, dig their nests, and lay 1 or 2 eggs at a time in it. All this while tears flow from her eyes that serve to keep the eyes moist and free of sand. A female turtle lays an average of 100-120 eggs per nest and then return to the Caribbean ocean. It has been known that some female turtles nest on the same beaches where they were born. Once they finish laying all their eggs, they then cover the nest with sand and return to the Caribbean sea.Although a protection program already exists, these beautiful sea turtles need the help of humans to continue preserving. How?Once the turtle returns to the sea, our previously trained staff has the important job of carefully removing the eggs that were just laid in the nest and move them to a new nest which was previously conditioned in a "corral" of protection. This is done to protect the turtle eggs from the busy beach. In this corral of protection, there is a stick at each nest which identifies the type of turtle eggs and the amount of spawning along with probable hatching date. Normally, the incubation period is two months long. The first of baby turtles beginning to hatch is in late June and from then through October. Our last hatch of turtle eggs in 2012 was in November. The corral of protection is located in the beach area and is guarded 24 hours by our staff. As soon as the turtles hatch, we organize a release time during evening hours for our guests because the baby sea turtles are at great risk being released during the day. Some of their natural predators are seabirds, crabs and humans.Baby sea turtles instinctively head for the brightest part of the horizon, which is usually above the water. But they can become disoriented if lights are shined inland during the release. Therefor, we ask no lights and no camera flash. If this happens, the baby sea turtle can be disoriented and can become easy prey for predators.More recommendations:* Do not consume eggs, meat or any article from turtle, if you are offered, please report it to authorities.* Avoid walking at night on the beaches where turtles nest and the nests that we tread* If you are living the experience of nesting and / or release, please do not use camera with flash lamps or any other device that emits light; nesting should stay away at least 10 meters, in silence and do not try to touch them * Do not litter or pollute the beach Copyright© Todos los derechos reservados - Hotel Solymar 2014 Solymar Beach Resort The Experience of Traveling - Hotels all Inclusive Anything in here will be replaced on browsers that support the canvas element turtles

Allard, Geneviève. "Caregiving on the Front: The Experience of Canadian Military Nurses During World War I." In On All Frontiers: Four Centuries of Canadian Nursing. Christina Bates, Dianne Dodd and Nicole Rousseau (eds.). Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 2005, p. 153-167 (chapter 10).
Geneviève Allard
During the years leading up to World War I, the nursing profession in Canada had begun to be organized: among other things, schools were opened and associations were created, helping to establish the professional status of the caregiver's work in society. During this period, aware of the advantages that the presence of nurses would provide during military operations, the Canadian army invited groups of nurses to accompany the troops on various military expeditions, and these invitations were the prelude to the creation of a true military nurses' corps in 1908. However, in September 1914, even after ten years in existence, the Canadian Army Nursing Corps (CANC) comprised fewer than 30 reservists, only five of whom were permanent members. And its members were poorly prepared to handle the events that they were about to face. A few months before the war, Margaret MacDonald was appointed matron-in-chief of the CANC under the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). Using her experience in the Boer War and in Canadian military hospitals, MacDonald had to mobilize a convoy of military nurses to serve overseas. An appeal was launched, and less than three weeks after Canada declared war, nurses with diplomas from all regions of the country offered their services for the duration of the war. Two thousand and three women enlisted in the CANC and were sent overseas. During the war, these nurses cared for almost 540 000 soldiers, working near the front lines, even risking their lives, as full members of the CEF; in fact, 53 of them lost their lives on active duty. They stirred the popular imagination and benefited from an aura of prestige.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the front was perceived as an exclusively male domain. In principle, women had neither the skills nor the qualities required to practise their profession there. The realities of the Great War, however, made the presence of women caregivers necessary, even indispensable, in proximity to the line of fire.
Acclaimed as war heroines at the time of demobilization, this group of caregivers had helped to provide the young profession of nursing and its training program with a stamp of legitimacy, and it saw its golden age in the years following World War I. Was this in part thanks to the visibility that the military nurses achieved? Although we know surprisingly little about the military experiences of these women few historians have taken an interest and the nurses themselves have remained very discreet the personal diaries, correspondence, and accounts of these women have begun to be gathered, analyzed, and studied. They demonstrate that on both the professional and personal levels, having been to war marked their lives. Nurses' presence in and contribution to the CEF improved the organization of medical care at the front and, as a consequence, had a noticeable effect on the physical and mental health of the soldiers under their care, just as, conversely, the conflict had an effect on the nurses' lives.
It is therefore of great interest to examine the origins and components of the CANC, as well as how nursing was practised at the front, in order to understand how military nursing during World War I fit within and had an impact on the development of the nursing profession in Canada.

iPad 4 unboxing and hardware hands-on
Half a year later and a generation ahead, the iPad 4 is here and while it's the same in almost every discernible way to the previous iPad 3, there are a few things absolutely worth discerning. First, it's got the new Lightning connector. Second, it's got a 720p FaceTime HD camera on the front. Third, it's got an all new, all powerful Apple A6X processor inside (and the forthcoming LTE version will have an all new, all international LTE chipset to boot). But can you judge that particular book by this cover? Watch!
There are 7 comments. Add yours.
Nice! Maybe Apple will freshen up the design language of the full-sized iPad next year. It's possible that Apple could be planning this:
2012: iPad 3rd-gen / 4th-gen in very similar enclosures.
2013: iPad 5th-gen with updated enclosure (chamfering, slate) and A7X 32-bit chip.
2014: All-new iPad 6th-gen with IGZO/OLED screen, A8X 64-bit chip, thinner form factor.
It may not be possible for Apple to make the big iPad thinner until there is an alternative to the LCD screen. IGZO conductors are far more efficient and more transparent than amorphous silicon, and OLED would eliminate the need for separate LED backlighting. Those two technologies plus further AX chip advancement could enable Apple to use even smaller batteries, hence a slimmer form factor.
You called the lightning port a "thunderbolt" port.. just FYI :)
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $82h… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online… www.fab17.com
I'm holding out for the iPad 5 in March!
Doubt it would be March... more likely next Fall, around a year from now.
better not be a year from now!! Apple needs to be sure not to get behind! A new iPad every 6 months would keep them at the top!!
you guys got to loose that corny music. and get some better music lol. its corny to me just expressing my opinion. thats all.

LONDON - From Iran's repressive crackdown on anti-government demonstrators to China's bloody suppression of minority Uighurs, millions of people's lives across the world continued to be torn apart last year by repression, violence, discrimination and death, Amnesty International says.
The London-based watchdog activist organization's annual report on the state of human rights in 2009 found a web of repression, as governments failed to prosecute rights violations worldwide.
The report, released Wednesday, says millions face abuse while their tormenters flout justice.
Amnesty International called on governments to ensure accountability for their own actions and fully sign up to the International Criminal Court — something the U.S., China, Russia and a host of other countries have refused to do — to ensure that crimes under international law can be prosecuted anywhere in the world.
"Governments must ensure that no one is above the law, and that everyone has access to justice for all human rights violations," said Claudio Cordone, interim secretary general of Amnesty International. "Until governments stop subordinating justice to political self-interest, freedom from fear and freedom from want will remain elusive for most of humanity."
Of the 159 countries it looked at, Amnesty International said it found people were tortured or otherwise ill-treated in at least 111; unfair trials in at least 55; freedom of expression restricted in at least 96; and prisoners of conscience held in at least 48.
Signs of progress
But Amnesty International also saw some instances of progress.
In November, for example, Ignace Murwanashyaka, the leader of the Rwanda Hutu rebels, was arrested in Germany and charged with crimes against humanity in Congo. His forces are suspected of killing several hundred citizens, raping large numbers of women and plundering and burning several villages in 2008-09.
Also in 2009, a sitting head of state, President Omar Al Bashir of Sudan, was named in an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court on five counts of crimes against humanity (murder, extermination, forcible transfer of population, torture and rape) and two counts of war crimes (for the targeting of civilians).
And in Peru, former President Alberto Fujimori was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of mass murder and kidnapping — a rare instance of a former head of state being found guilty in his own country on human rights charges.
But Amnesty International said accountability and justice seemed a remote ideal for many. It said states claiming global leadership have a particular responsibility to set an example, yet many members of the G-20 group of industrialized and developing countries are failing to keep the promises they have made.
Rights abuses
Among the examples of human rights violations cited in the report:
The United States, which heralds itself as the defender of democracy, was not spared criticism.
The report noted the U.S. has excluded itself from the jurisdiction of the ICC, so it faces less external pressure to address its own abuses committed in the context of its war on terror.
"When President Barack Obama took office and ordered the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility within a year, as well as the end of the secret detention program and the use of so-called 'enhanced interrogation techniques,' the signs were promising," Cordone wrote in a forward to the report. "However, by the end of 2009 the Guantanamo detentions were still ongoing and little progress had been made in holding anyone accountable for the violations there and in the other aspects of the US-led 'war on terror.'"
Demand for accountability
The Amnesty International Report 2010 argues that the demand for accountability is not confined to punishment for killing or torture, but extends to the denial of all the rights, such as health, education and housing, that people need to live our lives in dignity.
For example, Cordone noted, every year, more than half a million women die from pregnancy-related complications. Maternal mortality rates for women in countries such as Sierra Leone, Peru, Burkina Faso and Nicaragua are directly affected by human rights abuses, he said.
"While legal accountability for crimes under international law is more of a possibility today than ever before, events in 2009 confirmed that two formidable obstacles stand in the way," Cordone wrote. "The first is the fact that powerful states continue to stand above the law, outside effective international scrutiny. The other is that powerful states manipulate the law, shielding their allies from scrutiny and pushing for accountability mainly when politically expedient."

In this week's Research Roundup: Studies from the Center for American Progress on the effect of Alabama's anti-immigrant law on the state's education system, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities on how harmful state budget cuts for FY2012 will slow the economic recovery and undermine job creation efforts, the National Employment Law Project on how recent job growth has been even more lopsided toward low-wage jobs than previously reported, and the Federal Communications Commission on how various media ownership structures affect local usage and programming.
Alabama Takes No Steps Forward and Two Steps Back on Immigration State's Harsh Law Targets Students [1] — This analysis from the Center for American Progress examines the effect of Alabama's HB 56, one of the most draconian pieces anti-immigrant legislation to be signed into law in recent years, with a focus on what it means for Alabama children and the state's education system. The report concludes that the law, which is set to take effect on September 1st of this year, is "likely to make the state's already-struggling school system worse and prove costly to defend."
State Budget Cuts in the New Fiscal Year Are Unnecessarily Harmful [2] — This detailed and extensive analysis of 47 state budgets from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reveals that at least 38 states will drastically cut funding for K-12 education, higher education, health care, and other essential services in their budgets for fiscal year 2012, which began on July 1st — hitting children, low-income families, and other vulnerable populations harder than in any year since the Great Recession began. The study paints a bleak picture for what the state budget cuts will mean for the national economy in the coming fiscal year, noting that they "will slow the nation's economic recovery and undermine efforts to create jobs."
The Good Jobs Deficit: A Closer Look at Recent Job Loss and Job Growth Trends Using Occupational Data [3] — This update to a National Employment Law Project report released earlier this year finds that job growth is even more lopsided toward low-wage jobs than previously reported. Since the Recession ended, there has been a net loss of higher-wage jobs, and employment in lower-wage jobs is outpacing middle-income jobs by nearly three to one. The result is an overall decline in real income, but particularly among those in lower-wage jobs — contributing strongly to record levels of income disparity and what researchers term a good jobs deficit.
Local Media Ownership and Media Quality [4] — The Federal Communications Commission funded this statistical analysis of how various media ownership structures affect local usage and programing. There were three policy goals to the FCC's Review of Media Ownership Rules: gauging competition as measured by local media usage, studying the relationship between local media ownership and local news programming, and measuring the correlation of ownership diversity and media quality. Being evaluated were FCC rules against co-ownership of an area's newspaper and broadcast channels, limits on ownership of local television channels, and co-ownership of local radio and television stations. Newspaper sales tend to be far more strongly correlated with increased voter turnout than television news programming, so the drop off in newspaper sales over the past few years is alarming from a civic engagement perspective. However, as this analysis of 210 local media markets based on data from the FCC and Nielsen Media Research Galaxy ProFile shows, there is little or no evidence that local media's ownership structure influences competition or local programming content or quality.

Casitas Water Board
Re: your Jan. 31 article, "Casitas makes move on Golden State":
The online headline "Casitas Water Board moves forward on plan to buy Golden State franchise" that accompanied the article was somewhat misleading. Rather, Casitas Municipal Water District has plans to forcibly seize the water company by eminent domain.
Golden State Water Co., is not a willing seller, and it repeatedly has stated its property is not for sale, which only means a costly and lengthy legal battle will ensue, costing taxpayers millions.
By noting that some 1,800 Golden State customers signed a petition endorsing such a move, the article gives readers the impression Casitas' plan is widely supported by those it affects. The petition Ojai residents signed called for a bond that would not exceed $33 million and proposed a completely different financing method.
Casitas is now calling for an entirely different plan that assesses property owners a $60 million parcel tax over 35 years, costing some property owners $2,000 a year with an 2 percent annual increase.
Folks that signed a petition for a $33 million water bond paid for by Ojai's largest water users may balk at one costing twice as much and paid for via a parcel tax.
The Casitas water board can't assume everyone who signed onto the petition will sign onto completely different plan when it comes to a vote!

YORK — The York Comprehensive High School wrestlers, a top 10 program the last four years, have been busy honing their skills in early-season mat appearances.
The YCHS grapplers kicked off the new season with the Dec. 2 Main Event, a popular attraction that draws a sizable crowd and support for the program.
"It's an opportunity for the kids to wrestle before a big crowd and for parents and grandparents to watch their kids compete," said head wrestling coach Todd Hershberger.
"The Main Event is a good fundraiser, he said. "We've had great response to the Main Event. We fed 350 people."
YCHS wrestlers took advantage of ample mat time in a Dec. 11 four-way match that included Union, Chester and Indian Land.
Senior Ty Baxter, who pinned his opponent for the win, has a peculiar way of determining the strength of his opponent.
"I can tell the strength of my opponent by the handshake used to start the match," said Baxter. "If the handshake is light, I know there's a good chance I can win."
Such was the case last week, as the senior stalwart pinned his opponent early in the match in the 182-pound weight class.
"I saw an opening and took advantage of the opportunity," he noted. "I like wrestling. It's a physical sport."
YCHS sophomore wrestler Jake Beverly established himself as a solid competitor last season and last week was more of the same.
"When your opponent gets tired, you have to take advantage of the openings," said Beverly, who competes in the 106-pound weight class. "I saw an opening and pinned my opponent."
Beverly has his own ideas about what it takes to succeed on the mat. "Technique, strength and energy are the keys to success on the wrestling mat," he said.
Junior Cole Rumfelt, a fifth-year participant who made his presence felt last season, was dominant in defeating his opponent 6-1.
"I got him on his back early, gaining the advantage for the win," he said.
Rumfelt's first experience in the wrestling program was in the seventh grade. "My mom asked me to try wrestling and I liked it," he recalls.
Rumfelt, who competes in the 132-pound weight class, has a passion for the sport.
"It requires a lot of focus and technique," he said. "You have a goal to shoot for. Wrestling is a sport where you work your way from the bottom to the top."
Senior mainstay Chance Kelly, who also plays football, maintains that the transition from football to wrestling isn't that big a deal.
"Football and wrestling are similar," said Kelly, a two-sport standout. "In each sport, you take your opponent down."
In his third varsity season in wrestling, Kelly has developed a fondness for the sport. "It's a tough sport," he said. "You have to be in condition. I'm having fun."
The Cougar wrestlers finished No. 6 in the state in 4A last season. However, the Cougar wrestlers lost eight seniors to graduation last season.
"The program is growing," said Hershberger. "We have 95 kids in the program from middle school to varsity. "We are a young team with a good many first-year varsity participants with several years in the program."
The YCHS wrestling team will host White Knoll at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the final match before Christmas.

December 4, 2009
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- University of Georgia President Michael Adams says more layoffs may be needed next year if the economy doesn't pick up.
Adams told a news conference on Thursday he thinks the university can absorb the 3 percent cut the Board of Regents approved in November because student fees were increased by $100. But the Athens-Banner-Herald reports he said there will be serious consequences if lawmakers make deeper cuts in higher education spending next year.
Adams said he will announce any layoffs in January or February to give those employees time to find new jobs before the cuts kick in.

Portage took over sole possession of first place in the WestPAC North girls standings with a 70-48 victory over Conemaugh Valley on Tuesday night at Len Chappell Gymnasium.
"It's no mystery how big this game was as far as the WestPAC North and District 6-A goes, and it's a huge win for our program," Mustangs coach Lance Hudak said after the win.
"We're playing well. Offensively, there have been hills and valleys (this season). Some nights we are better than other nights and the shots are on and sometimes they're not. We always tell the girls that you can always play great defense and that's what got us to this point. Our girls just sell out on the defensive end. We're all about extending the court and making teams go at our tempo, which is up and down the court, and that's what we did tonight. I think we made Valley play a tempo that they didn't want to."
The Mustangs, who had nine players in the scoring column, got a game-high 22 points from Olivia McCabe, who also added eight rebounds. Emily Chobany supplied 20 points for Portage, now 14-1 overall and 8-0 in the North Section.
"(This win) means that people may actually take us seriously," McCabe said. "We had to work on our press and drew fouls. We have to be smart and not get frustrated with ourselves because when you do that you do stupid things."
The dominant win by the Mustangs gave them a sweep of the Blue Jays. When the teams met in December, Portage overcame a 16-point deficit and won by 12.
This time the Mustangs left nothing to chance, using their aggressive press to force Conemaugh Valley turnovers and converting on the other end. The upbeat tempo led to 26 Blue Jay turnovers.
The Jays led just once, 2-0, on a Lexi Hody basket before Portage went on a 13-2 run. Conemaugh Valley pulled to within two, 13-11, on a Kacie Smith basket, but could get no closer as Portage ended the frame with a 16-11 advantage.
The Mustangs poured it on in the second, scoring the first nine points and finishing with a 27-15 advantage for an imposing 43-26 lead.
Portage outscored Conemaugh Valley 22-9 in the third for a 30-point advantage,
65-35, heading into the fourth.
The Jays won the final quarter, 13-5.
"We weren't 100 percent coming into the game and then we played far less than 100 percent during the entire game," Conemaugh Valley coach Teri Cruse said. "I knew it was going to wear us down. We tried to work on defense for it and that comes down to lack of defense. We scored the points that we generally score in a game. We don't let anyone score 70 points and we let them do it at will."
Conemaugh Valley was led by 10 points and six rebounds from Emily McCray before she fouled out with 6:35 left in the game. Hody and Elaine Smith each had nine points for the Blue Jays (11-3, 6-2), who also got eight points and six boards from Kacie Smith.
"I am surprised at how well our team has been playing, but I just know that we've worked hard for this," Chobany said.
"This is what we've been working on in the offseason and now and I'm happy to have a team like this that works this hard."

Amanda Clayton was not your typical millionaire.
In her short life, Amanda won a million-dollar lottery in Michigan, was convicted of collecting welfare after she got the lottery payout and found herself embroiled in a multitude of dramas and legal battles.
Now she is dead, at age 25, of a possible drug overdose.
I've devoted much of my life to studying why people, especially lottery winners, run through large sums of money. I've written two books, and my latest, "Life Lessons From the Lottery," will be out on Kindle on Nov. 10. All focus on why people run through money needlessly.
I keep thinking Amanda might be alive if she had read one of them, but probably not. She lived a troubled life. Getting the lottery money added rocket fuel to her problems.
Like so many lottery losers, Amanda made the first big mistake shortly after she hit the jackpot: She let the world know she won. If you search the Internet, you can find a picture of a happy and attractive Amanda from September 2011. She is smiling, holding a huge check from the Michigan Lottery.
It's possible for lottery winners in Michigan to collect their winnings anonymously, except for Mega Millions and Powerball winners. Amanda would have been better off to quietly take her winnings. But it didn't work out that way.
Telling the world you have money you never expected is asking for trouble. Just like the experience of Abraham Shakespeare, another lottery winner who wound up dead in Florida, people who think your money should be "our" money come out of the woodwork.
According to various news accounts, it seemed Amanda had a ton of newfound "friends." All wanted to take advantage of her.
Although Amanda was not shy about making headlines with her check, there was one group of people she "forgot" to mention it to: Those at the public assistance office.
Amanda pleaded no contest to fraud in June after prosecutors accused her of receiving $5,500 per month in food and medical benefits after she won the lottery, according to the Detroit News.
Millionaires are not supposed to collect food stamps. Of course, had Amanda tried to rip off the government as a Wall Street banker, her crime would been ignored and she probably would have received a bailout.
She got nine months' probation instead. She wound up not living until the end of her sentence.
I'm not sure winning the lottery was the source of Amanda's problems, but I've see this happen too many times: People who win lose perspective on normal things in life. They start to think rules don't apply to them.
It's been said that 90 percent of people who win the lottery will run through the money in five years or less.
I tell lottery winners to do five things to protect themselves:
1. Don't tell anyone you won. Collect the money anonymously, if you can.
2. Stop and think for a minute before rushing down to collect the check.
3. Don't take the lump-sum payment. Take the money over time instead.
4. Find an adviser who has worked with people who have more money than you do. If you win $100 million, find an adviser who has clients with $150 million.
5. Use your money to give something back to society.
In Amanda's case, she thought she could outsmart the welfare people and apparently do serious drugs without consequence.
She lost her bet both times.

North Country land buys called 'nails in Northern Pass coffin'
The closings on Wednesday for easements on more than 1,000 acres in Stewartstown were anticipated, since the forest society had previously announced purchase and sales agreements.
The society has been raising money since last summer in a "Trees Not Towers" campaign designed to block the path of the high-voltage transmission lines intended to deliver hydroelectric power from Quebec into the New England power grid, via New Hampshire.
The largest easement acquired on Wednesday was for 1,000 acres owned by dairy farmer Rod McAllaster, whose family has farmed the land for generations. McAllaster had previously told reporters that Northern Pass had offered him $4 million for the land near the Quebec border. According to tax stamps on record at the Coos County Registry of Deeds, the conservation easement was obtained by the forest society for $825,000.
"We announced in August that we intended to do this, and we started raising money," said Jack Savage, forest society spokesman. "In October we announced that we were close, and now it's done. So to whatever extent Northern Pass had any hope that we would fail to close these transactions, thus opening the door for them to again approach Mr. McAllaster, that's off the table."
On the same day, the forest society closed on conservation easements for 86 acres spanning two parcels of land owned by Lynne Placey of Stewartstown for $330,000. "That's an indication of how strategically placed her land is," said Savage. He explained that the easements were based on professional appraisals last summer that took into account what Northern Pass has paid for easements and acquisitions.
Northern Pass spokesman Mike Skelton said the Forest Society's actions were expected, and have not blocked the project.
"They've had no effect on our efforts to identify and propose a new route and that fact will be made clear when we release the details of our new proposal in the future," he said. "Northern Pass is excited to share the details of our new proposal soon, and we look forward to the comprehensive state and federal review process. If the project earns approval from those permitting bodies, Northern Pass will bring clean, low-cost power, hundreds of local jobs, and millions in new tax revenue to New Hampshire."
The company had been expected to announce a new route by the end of the year, and said it had one on Dec. 31, but since then has provided no details.
Savage said the land purchases and easements obtained by the forest society's so-called "blocking actions" have created an extremely steep hill for Northern Pass developers to climb.
"Is there still a way to potentially do it?" he said. "Perhaps, but they would need to abandon their intended route and the tens of millions of dollars they've already spent, to pursue some other overland way to do it, crossing hundreds of new property owners."

Moving to Atlanta: City or Suburbs?:
Atlanta is a sprawling city with lots of suburbs and lots of traffic. One of the first decisions you'll want to make is if you want to live intown or in the suburbs. If you've already found a job in Atlanta, that will probably help you make your decision.
Atlanta is known for long commutes, so this will be a big factor in deciding where you want to live. Some other factors may include access to public transportation, school districts and the type of neighborhood you want to live in.
Public Transportation in Atlanta:
In and around Downtown Atlanta, the main provider of public transportation is Marta. Marta has both a rail system and a bus system to get you around town. The Marta rail system runs north, south, east and west - with the lines originating from Five Points Station in the heart of Downtown. In many areas, you can drive to the station and park for free if you aren't within walking distance.
Some of the neighborhoods and suburbs with easy access to Marta trains include:
- North Atlanta: Dunwoody, Sandy Springs and the general Perimeter Mall area, Brookhaven, Buckhead (near Lenox Mall), Chamblee, Doraville
- Intown: Downtown, Midtown, Grant Park, Inman Park, Candler Park, Edgewood, East Lake
- East Atlanta: Decatur, Avondale Estates, parts of Stone Mountain
- South Atlanta: Lakewood, East Point, Captiol View, College Park
The Best Schools in Atlanta:
The Atlanta area has some great public and private schools.
Some of the top schools in Atlanta are highlighted on this list of Georgia Schools of Excellence.
It may also be useful to review the Georgia Graduation Test Results by county. The counties with the highest performance include Cobb County, Fayette County, Forsyth County, Fulton County (does not include City of Atlanta Schools) and Gwinnett County.
Another way that Georgia measures school performance is through the CRCT, a standardized test. You can view CRTC scores by county.
Business Hubs in Atlanta:
Popular Atlanta Suburbs:
The Atlanta area enjoys a relatively low cost of living, and many people find that they can stretch their dollar even further by living in the suburbs instead of downtown. The Atlanta suburbs offer large, family-friendly homes. Many communities also have amenities like swimming pools and tennis courts. Some residents also feel that living in the suburbs is a safer option for raising a family.Some of the popular suburbs in the Atlanta area include Dunwoody/Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta, Kennesaw, Chamblee, Norcross, Decatur, Peachtree City and Fayetteville.
Living Intown:
Living intown in Atlanta is becoming a more popular option, particularly with rising gas prices and long commute times. Some advantages of living in the city in Atlanta include easy access to public transportation, proximity to cultural activities and attractions, a variety of restaurants and bars and close-knit communities with walkable town squares.
Popular Atlanta neighborhoods for singles include Buckhead, Midtown, East Atlanta, Old Fourth Ward, Downtown, West Midtown/Home Park and Little Five Points. These neighborhoods offer vibrant nightlife and lots of activities.
Some popular intown neighborhoods for families include Decatur/Oakhurst, Candler Park, Inman Park, Morningside, Peachtree Hills, Collier Hills, Buckhead and Brookhaven. These neighborhoods offer proximity to Atlanta's many attractions and also boast some of the best schools within the city. They tend to offer single family homes with yards, as opposed to apartments and condominiums found in some other neighborhoods.

Dear Friends:
Believe it or not, I don't love "blastin' away" (to quote a Facebook post from one of you) more than I do my own son. I don't pride myself on being a "bad ass," as one of your friends called me. I have this crazy idea that I should be able to defend Christopher and Maribel from an intruder in the night or a mob in a riot.
President Obama disappointed me on this. Though I did not vote for him, I truly hoped he'd use this moment of national grief to unite all sides in finding a real solution to this problem. I thought he'd at least like the "optics" of building consensus and seeking the best input from all sides. Instead, he opted to shove a partisan mandate down our throats. That's neither hopeful nor a change.
Don't get me wrong. The NRA was stunningly tone-deaf and equally hard-line. But they're advocates, not the supposed leader of the whole country. So, at the end of the day, the guns in this country will essentially be left status quo, with a relatively meaningless assault weapons ban.
If you are serious about the problem of mass shootings, isn't it logical to engage people who know about firearms? Instead, you've chosen to portray your neighbors as blood-thirsty ghouls, unmoved by a parade of tiny caskets.
If you were trying to end drunk driving in this country, would you align as many teetotalers as you could find, then shun the bar owners, brewers and drinking public to the corners? Of course not.
Yet, when you guys talk about guns, you talk about "clips" and "machine guns," making it obvious to us that you're clueless and emotional. And then you want me to trust you with my family's protection?
I've qualified on POST and STRAC standards, shooting rings, pop-ups and ALT-C. I've shot everything from .22LRs to the M2 and Barrett. I've been on CQB and KD ranges. I've used iron, CCO and ACOG on deployment, and Leupolds at a school. I've gone both hot and black in real fire fights. I've fired bolt action, semi-auto, burst and automatic.
And I'm guessing few of you know what any of those terms mean. Yet you want to dictate gun policy.
These things are relevant because those of us who know guns react in horror when clueless liberals spout terms and ideas they picked up from Rambo movies and episodes of Law & Order. This pushes gun-owners further into defensive mode. You may not care about us, but since roughly half of American households own guns, Congress does.
The other problem, of course, is that you'll waste effort and create dissent in doing things that are pointless and ineffective. Take, for instance, the 100-round "drum" magazine issue.
I've read about these allegedly unconscionable things in a couple of places since last week, citing the Aurora theater shooter's use of one. His also jammed after about 30 rounds. They're stupid toys and gun owners might well trade a ban on them for loosening counter-productive rules. But, of course, you'd never know that.
If you want a real solution, consider some things that responsible gun owners can get behind: Mandatory gun safes. Trigger locks are a poor theft deterrent because they can be drilled out. Gun owners hate them because they encumber home defense when it counts. So, why not mandate safes? Most gun owners would not be terribly bothered by it (a lot would say "I've been wanting to buy one, anyway"). Here's the kicker: a safe might have prevented Sandyhook.
I've seen proposals for mental health reviews for gun purchases. That's something we'd have a very hard time supporting, because Sen. Chuck Schumer cannot be trusted. "Question 1: Do you need a gun for home defense?" Answer "yes," and you're obviously paranoid: "No gun for you!"
But, here's a creative idea: Have the NRA set the standards? They absolutely would not want the PR nightmare of having an applicant it approved go nutty, so you can have great confidence the standard will be solid. That's a win-win.
Most of the gun bans that gun-know-nothings espouse will be inconvenient and an affront to liberty. More importantly, they won't accomplish what you're Rambo-based perceptions make you think.
Both Virgina Tech (the country's worst massacre) and Luby's Diner (now #3 on the list) were committed with common home defense pistols and magazines generally in compliance with the proposed bans. They were purchased in full compliance with both existing and most proposed laws.
And, while you demonize the Bushmaster .223 of Sandyhook infamy, the killer also had two pistols that would have been just as grotesquely efficient - perhaps more so. Both would remain perfectly legal, because they are very appropriate home defense weapons.
And, somehow you guys don't seem all that bothered about the exponential growth of violent media in society. Having a conversation about guns (which have not changed in the last 25 years) while ignoring motivational influences (which have) only fuels our suspicions of ulterior motives. We don't need laws (there's a Constitutional Amendment about that), but why not a Presidential "teachable moment" about kids practicing random killing at a bodies-per-minute rate?
If you really want to solve this problem and unify the country, not just grab guns, a package of ideas like those above, combined with a loosening of concealed-carry laws and an elimination of "gun-free zones" (AKA "protection-free zones) will go a long way with gun owners. If you ask for modestly onerous measures that will truly limit whackos' access to guns and offer to let us protect ourselves (and you) in exchange, you'll quickly and easily gain consensus.
Here's a secret: loosening CCW laws is the key to gun-owners' hearts.
More importantly, it'll work. Imagine how last Friday would have been if just one staff member at the front door had reacted with a pistol, not bare hands.
You don't need pistol-packin' bad ass teachers in every classroom or patrons in every theater. You just need to make the Adam Lanzas of the world worry about it.
There are 300 million guns in American, most of which can do grievous harm in seconds in the wrong hands. You'll never get rid of them. Rapid suppression by superior force is the only method of ending such a horror once it starts.
We can solve this problem together, if you accept that people with a different perspective and experience can have the same goal.

The first time I made this recipe I added two eggs like other reviewers suggested and it was fabulous. The second time I made it (this time for a crowd) I forgot to add the second egg, but it was still delicious. When I make it again I will add the second egg though; it was better.
Giving this the highest rating because I tried another corn pudding recipe from this sight and this one was much better. Didn't like the other one because it was too much like bread. Followed this one just as written, but admit I did add a little milk because I was worried it might be dry like the other one. Actually, had to bake it a little longer (due to the added milk). Next time I will do just as written and I am sure it will be the creamy consistency I am after. Be sure NOT to drain the can of whole kernel corn. Very good!!
This is a good one-be sure to add two eggs when making this. This can also be doubled very easily and made in a 9X13 pan for a larger crowd.

Room at the Top: Position Yourself for a Move to Management
Companies are struggling to find management talent—which means opportunity to rise.
It took over a year for Watchfire Signs, a maker of digital billboards in Danville, Ill., to fill a VP of sales position and nine months to nab a director of marketing. "Finding the right people is much more difficult than you would expect in this economy," says Randy Berg, the company's vice president for human resources.
Even as the unemployment rate hovers well above 8 percent, many experts report a growing gap in one key sector of workers—business's top ranks. "It's totally counter-intuitive," says business consultant David DeLong, coauthor of The Executive Guide to High-Impact Talent Management. "There is an increasingly critical shortage of executives qualified to lead complex, growing organizations."
Some 25 percent of the 330 human resources pros polled in a new survey by Deloitte Consulting say that a shortage of qualified talent is their foremost concern. And while almost half of the nearly 1,300 respondents to Price Waterhouse Cooper's 2012 CEO survey said they were confident about the prospects for growth, only 30 percent believed they had the talent on board to lead it. "The challenge of finding the right people is our No. 1 inhibitor of growth," says Tony DiBenedetto, chairman and CEO of Tribridge, a Tampa-based IT services and business consulting firm.
[See: The 25 Best Jobs.]
The shortage is partly a function of demographics. As baby boomers on the top rungs retire, there are not enough generation Xers (born from 1965 to 1980) to take their place. "That group is 30 million people smaller than the generation ahead of them," says DeLong. According to one study, he says, candidates in the age bracket that normally fills leadership roles are expected to drop 30 percent by 2015.
At the same time, the leadership pipelines in many organizations today are producing barely a trickle. "The need for succession planning caught companies by surprise," says Brian McGowan, executive vice president and managing director in Atlanta of the Chicago-based executive search firm DHR International. "Now there is a void as the senior level professionals age out."
Many executive recruiters and coaches see the trend as a boon for managers looking to move up the ladder. "The market for top talent is only going to get hotter," says Delong. How can you position yourself for an upward move?
Groom yourself to lead. "The biggest mistake I witness regarding promotions is that high-potential candidates wait for job openings, then apply for the position and start prepping for it," says Sarah Hathorn, CEO and founder of Illustra Consulting in Atlanta, which provides executive coaching and leadership development expertise to companies.
Slimmed-down, budget-minded employers can't afford to put people in high-powered positions and train them, Hathorn says. They expect "little or no learning curve when it comes to such things as your executive presence, your ability to build high-performance teams, and your knack for identifying talent in the raw and developing it."
That doesn't sound like you just yet? A career coach can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, and how to develop your leadership creds and buff your image. Another idea gaining traction: Seek out executives you admire and ask them how they got there, job by job. This "backward career mapping" can allow you to better chart a course for your own rise.
If you work for a large company, it can be useful to talk with someone in succession planning, often a role of human resources. "Tell them you are interested in becoming an executive and would like feedback on things you need to be learning to reach that goal," advises Mary Key, head of Key Associates, Inc., a leadership development consulting firm in Tampa.
[Read: 22 Ways to Be a Better Boss.]
Then start acting like the leader you want to be. Volunteer to head up a task force or project. "Management is always happy with someone who says, 'I want more,' " says Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, cofounder of SixFigureStart, an executive coaching firm in New York City.

The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Georgia voters could elect to give the state's official ethics watchdog dedicated funding under a proposal from a state senator.
Sen. Joshua McKoon of Columbus has proposed changing the state constitution so Georgia's ethics commission would get less than 1 percent of total state funds. The Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission is funded by a fluctuating budget approved by state lawmakers. It's been hamstrung by a lack of staff and resources.
The Republican lawmaker also proposed amending the state constitution so the attorney general can convene grand juries to investigate public corruption.
Those amendments would need a two-thirds vote in each chamber of the General Assembly to pass. They would then require the approval of Georgia's voters.

BROCKPORT — It was more of the same frustration for the Plattsburgh State women's soccer team Saturday.
The Cardinals held a 15-10 edge in shots and a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks over the No. 25-ranked College at Brockport.
But two goals by Katie Gildemeyer gave the Golden Eagles (14-1-2, 7-1-1) a 2-1 victory over the hard-luck Cardinals (6-10-1, 2-6-1), who closed out their SUNY Athletic Conference season.
"We played really well today and we had a good weekend," said Plattsburgh coach Karen Waterbury. "The girls gave me a great effort. We were able to win (Friday) and the result didn't show how well the girls played (Saturday).
"After the game, the girls were pleased with how well they played. But obviously, they wanted to win. We created some good chances."
Brockport's first shot on goal, which came at 14:40 of the first half, resulted in Gildemeyer's first goal of the game as she sent a shot over the head of Plattsburgh keeper Danielle Schmitt and into the net.
Then, after Devin McMahon had a shot on goal for Plattsburgh, Brockport got into transition and a shot deflected off the crossbar. Gildemeyer, however, was there to put in the rebound to make it 2-0 at the 34:46 mark.
The Cardinals held a 9-4 shot advantage in the first half, but were unable to get on the board.
Plattsburgh did get on the board with 13:23 gone in the second half when Lauren Gonyea sent a shot over the head of Brockport keeper Hannah Conine and into the net.
But the Golden Eagles then buckled down defensively and the Cardinals were unable to get another shot on goal the rest of the way.
"They had two decent goals and they made the most of their opportunities because I felt we dominated the first half," said Waterbury.
"We came out real strong in the second half as well and got one of the goals back. But we couldn't get the second."
Conine finished with five saves for Brockport and Schmitt stopped three shots for Plattsburgh.
The Cardinals close out their season with a 4 p.m. nonconference game against Norwich University on Wednesday at the Field House Soccer Complex.
Brockport 2, Plattsburgh 1
Plattsburgh 0 1 — 1
Brockport 2 0 — 2
First half- 1, Brock, Gildemeyer (Maguire), 14:40. 2, Brock, Gildemeyer (Lawson), 34:46.
Second half- 3, PSU, Gonyea, 13:23.
Shots: Plattsburgh 15, Brockport 10.
Saves: Schmitt, PSU, 3. Conine, Brock, 5.

A fire broke out Saturday at a Duplex in Capitola but no injuries were reported.
The fire in the 600 block of 41st Avenue was reported just before 5 p.m., according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel's website.
Several nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution and heavy smoke and flames could be seen coming from the building, the Sentinel reported.
A truck parked in the garage -- the point of origin for the blaze -- was destroyed, authorities said.
Officials closed a number of streets, including 41st Avenue at Portola Drive, Opal Cliffs Drive and East Cliff Drive, the newspaper reported.
According to the Sentinel, a resident opened the garage door when he smelled something electrical and smoke poured out of the space.

HARRISONBURG-- On Thursday, community leaders had a luncheon with disabled people at the First Presbyterian Church in Harrisonburg. It was held to talk about what exactly it's like to be disabled in the community, and how local leaders can be a better help.
About 120 people were expected to be there with people ranging from local politicians to advocates of the issue. People with disabilities spoke to encourage local and legislative change. Valley Associates for Independent Living (VAIL) put on the luncheon, and helped over 400 people in the area last year.
Virginia could make some changes in how it helps disabled people, the organizers said. The state ranks below 45th in the country in service to people with disabilities, according to VAIL.
The luncheon served as a reminder that things aren't easy for people living with disabilities. "It helps all of the leaders in the community, as well as citizens recognize, where those barriers are, and what we can do as a community," said Gayl Brunk, the executive director of VAIL. "It's the opportunity for the people to share with them at a local level what the challenges [are], opportunities, and great things are as well."
