Working in a soup kitchen is not something 16-year-old Addie Williams pictured herself doing. However, since volunteering with the Salvation Army, she has learned the value of helping others, she said.
Tabitha Barrett, 17, said the experience "helps you learn what real life is like" through talking with the clients who visit.
"You get more out of volunteering than you think," said Tabitha, who has made friends during her time in the kitchen and has learned how to work well with others.
Over the past four years, students from Madison Central High School have been volunteering at local charity organizations through the Success Academy.
The Success Academy is a branch of Focus to Finish, a program geared toward students who are struggling academically, have behavioral issues or are simply disenchanted with school. The Success Academy develops students' basic work-readiness skills, said Lynn Petrey, teacher and job coach for the Success Academy.
Every Monday and Friday, between six to eight students are bussed to the Salvation Army (located on East Main Street) to help out in the kitchen by cooking, plating the food and cleaning up.
Each student is required to attain a food handler's card, which can be used for employment at any restaurant, said Libby Edmonson, a para-professional and job coach with the Academy.
The volunteer work also is something the students can put on their resume and the experience "has been a real eye-opener for some of the students," Edmonson said.
In the past, students have volunteered at God's Outreach, Light of Christ Ministry and Open Concern. Some students also have worked in the cafeteria and linen room at Baptist Health in Richmond.
This is the first year the Academy has partnered with the Salvation Army, Petrey said.
Having the students in the kitchen have been good for the clients "but it's been good for the students too," said Sandy Bonar, a coordinator at the soup kitchen through the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary. Members of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior also volunteer regularly at the kitchen.
The Success Academy students are "very helpful" with kitchen duties, she said, and she hopes they will "develop a service mentality" that will continue on through adulthood.
The soup kitchen, open Mondays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., usually serves between 30 and 50 people.
"We truly serve those in need," Bonar said. "There is more poverty in Madison County than people realize."

This recipe is very nice, although it's a little bit plain. I recommend adding about a 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I use medjool dates which, as far as I know, are the moistest and sweetest, and I'd recommend putting 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 cups of dates instead of 1 cup (if you love dates). I put 1 cup whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup white flour, which I think makes it less pudding-like and more cake-like. I also make mine in an 8X8 inch pan, so I cut the bake time down to 35-40 minutes, and I even put the temp down to about 390 instead of 400. It comes out really nice. It's still sort of plain and not very sweet, but if you like that kind of thing, you'll like this.
This is one of the easiest recipies I have tried. No gadgets to get out, no whisking, no mess. Just mix and bake, and perfect results every time. Lovely luke warm, but even better straight from the fridge. I put the cake in the fridge to cool, then slice it with a really sharp knife, as it may crumble if not really cold. Then have a slice when you fancy. Fantastically firm and morish without being too hefty. I have deviated from the recipe at times and added more fruit, like raisins and dried apricots. The apricot one was a winner. I think it is because of the soaking period, and I have soaked it for up to an hour at times, making it really moist. Doubling the amounts, I get three small bread loaf tins out of it, excellent for freezing. My favourite!
It was really good that I decided to take a pic of it and show it to all just to see its incredible result!

Las Vegas Vacations
Your Las Vegas vacation
Lucky you. A Las Vegas vacation on the horizon, and nothing but sequins, cocktails and Blackjack on the brain. Leave it to Orbitz to help with travel planning long before you hit the jackpot, get married by an Elvis impersonator or both. So before you figure the odds of hitting every Las Vegas casino in one weekend, get the scoop on mega-resorts, shopping, nightlife, dining, and Las Vegas travel deals.
Best time to take a vacation to Las Vegas
Spoiled by marquee-worthy acts, VIP clubs and theme-park-esque resorts, Las Vegas is one city that doesn't really operate on time. In fact, you likely won't see clocks in the casinos, because who needs to be reminded that it's 3 a.m. when you're doubling down at the blackjack table? That said, the best time to take a Las Vegas vacation depends on the visitor.
Weather is a huge consideration: From June to September, the mercury hits 90 degrees Fahrenheit and can flirt with 100-plus degrees. If that's too tropical, visit Vegas during off-peak seasons such as fall and winter, when the crowds thin, hotel rooms are plentiful and the weather is bearable.
Insider tips for Las Vegas travel
Pinball Hall of Fame
Check out the Pinball Hall of Fame, where people flock to play pinball machines from the 1950's until the present. The newest addition is "Insert Coins," a lounge/arcade located in Downtown Las Vegas. From Atari 2600 to Xbox360, you'll find it all here in a club-like setting. When you get tired of playing Pac Man, step onto the dance floor to get your groove on.
From desert to mountains
Everyone thinks Las Vegas is a big desert, but once you get up in the higher elevations we have some of the most picturesque forest areas around. Try Mt. Charleston, one hour from the Strip -- when it's 100 degrees in the city, it's only 80 there. Mt. Charleston is part of the Spring Mountain Range and Toiyabe National Forest, which boast great hiking, picnic grounds and waterfalls. The Resort on Mount Charleston offers midweek specials throughout the year on Orbitz.
Don't mind the heat?
Book a tee time after 11 a.m. in the summer and golf at some of the top golf courses for 50 percent off. Just drink a lot of water and bring the sun block.
Vitner Grill
Pretty rebellious for such a swanky bistro to hide in a business park in Summerlin. From the Black Dragon cocktails and plush booths to the torch-lit patio and tiramisu, this neighborhood gem takes the Strip to task.

Las Vegas highlights
Freemont Street Experience
Let there be lights – 12.5 million of them. You'll be dazzled by the largest projection screen in the world -- dubbed Viva Vision -- which takes up the size of five football fields. Don't blink or you might miss the flock of showgirls walking past, or the free live shows conducted by bands paying tribute to KISS, the Beatles, the Doors and more.
The Las Vegas Strip
While the kiddies have Disney World, adults escape to their own private playground: the Las Vegas Strip. Here, in the backdrop a billion neon lights, casinos and resorts the size of theme parks, visitors are encouraged to disregard time and embrace excess.
Bellagio Fountains
Everyone's an entertainer in Las Vegas – even the water. The granddaddy of them all entertains every 30 minutes until 8 p.m., then every 15 minutes until midnight. The free display is choreographed to music, shooting streams as high as 460 feet from 1,214 jets on an 8.5-acre man-made lake.
Rehab Pool Party at the Hard Rock Hotel
Lest you think a Las Vegas hotel pool was meant purely for doing laps, the Sunday pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel will change your mind. The pool is teeming with singles, and you might even mingle with a celebrity by the DJ table or private cabanas.
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas Wax Museum
You're bound to run into a celebrity – or three – in Las Vegas, but unless you're sitting in the VIP section, you won't find dozens in the same room. Not so at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas Wax Museum. Life-size figurines of Barack Obama, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani and Johnny Depp dressed as Pirate Jack Sparrow beg for close inspection, but ladies and gents, no touching, please.
Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay
Despite its adult-oriented packaging, Las Vegas has plenty of options for families, and the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay is one of the best. You and the tykes will walk through underwater tunnels and past tanks filled with piranhas, golden crocodiles and endangered green sea. The best part: Kids 5 and under are free.
Grand Canyon helicopter tours
The Grand Canyon was never named one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but after a ride above the 277-mile-wide chasm, you'll think differently. An aerial view reveals just how massive, intricate and awe-inspiring it is, and how little you'd see if you traveled by foot. Excursions depart from Grand Canyon Airport, just 45 minutes by air from Las Vegas.
Gondola Rides at the Venetian
Vegas, we love you, but sometimes we just need to chillax. Enter the Gondola Rides at the Venetian: Each four-passenger boat glides down the indoor river by the Grand Canal Shoppes or along an outdoor lagoon. While you and your loved ones enjoy 14 or 12 minutes along the water, you'll also take in the soothing sounds of a gondolier.
Jubilee! At Bally's
Jubilee!, the last-standing revue in Las Vegas, puts the show in showgirls. Decked out in Bob Mackie and Pete Menefee designs, the 100 performers are a vision in feathers, sequins and beads. Through song and dance carried out on elaborate sets, the girls pay tribute to Cole Porter, a reminder that old-school Vegas is still very much alive.

Approximately 300 companies will be available to display their products and services at Plastic Surgery The Meeting at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Halls G-H.
Plastic Surgery The Meeting exhibitors provide a wide-array of products and services, please be sure to review the exhibitors online and in the official program and plan your booth visits.
The Plastic Surgery The Meeting Official Program includes an exhibitor guide listing exhibitor addresses, phone numbers, product information, 50-word descriptions and booth locations, and will be distributed to all meeting attendees.
This new badge will replace all of the individual tickets for course and event entry, as well as, the ExpoCard for information exchange in the exhibit hall. When visiting exhibitors, remember to scan your badge in order to receive future communications and product information.
The Exhibit Hall is the place to relax and participate in the networking opportunities available to you. Take a break from your busy day and enjoy a cup of coffee or ice cold soft drink during the daily morning and afternoon refreshment breaks. Saturday through Monday, registered attendees are invited to enjoy a complimentary lunch at serving stations in the rear of the Exhibit Hall offering a variety of choices. The 1.5 hour lunch breaks afford ample time to take advantage of Exhibit Hall opportunities. See the above schedule.
Admission to the Exhibit Hall is by badge only. An adult must accompany children under the age of 16.
Visit the Cyber Stations to view the scientific posters online (e-Posters). e-Posters provide an opportunity for in-depth information exchange and are an excellent medium for unusual or multiple clinical case presentations.
All stations will be available for viewing Saturday through Monday during exhibit hours. You may also view them post-show, via our members-only website.
ASPS® and The PSF would like to thank our members for their continued support and interest in patronizing Plastic Surgery The Meeting exhibitors. Registration fees would be considerably higher without the income generated from exhibitor participation. When
companies present quality products and services addressing the practice needs of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery professionals, they add value.

2015 Subaru Outback
Here's my wish list for additional features/content/changes:black or dark grey interior color availability with white exterior color (not just saddle brown, w/eye-sight option); blind spot sensor/warning; rear cross-traffic alert; larger and more user friendly nav screen; rear back-up sonar sensors, in addition to back-up camera (since camera lens cover frequently gets smudgy/dirty on rainy days rendering back-up camera useless);multi-view rear camera with surround view and top-down/bird's eye view capability; electrochromic/auto-dimming side view mirrors; heated steering wheel option.
Top on my list would be for them to make this iteration more visually attractive (or attractive at all). They seem to do that every other generation; I know I'm ready for a change from the current gen!
Second would be that they give the nanny tech a rest, or at least keep it optional. Encouraging competence amongst drivers is not a bad thing, especially for a car company that, at least traditionally, makes cars that are fun to drive.
Aside from those, better road feel, bring back the hand brake, CVT on the H6, keep the 6MT available through the "premium" line with no option restrictions, and make a turbo-4 available in the line once more.
I think the electrochromatic sideview mirrors would be somewhat problematic for them. That tech doesn't like cold too much, so I suspect there would be a lot of complaints from New England, upper Midwest, and other northern customers.
Thank you xwesx for your post and your interesting auto-dimming side mirror comment related to decreased performance due to cold temps. The electrochemical technology developed by Gentex Corp near Grand Rapids, Michigan, used in auto-dimming mirrors has been in widespread use since the 1970's in rear view mirrors, and in side view mirrors for the last 5-7 years in upscale autos like BMW, M-B, and Audi, and recently in the 2014 Forrester. Your comment about very cold temps affecting auto-dimming mirror performance makes sense when applying basic physics and chemistry principles to the chemical basis of the electrochemical process. However, I would think Gentex labs (based in a cold weather state, MI) would have worked out most of the problems associated with cold temp performance issues, or the upscale German auto mfg's would not have used them on most of their cars.
One of the most important things on my wish list for the 2015 Outback, which I forgot to mention, is the addition of a gas-electric hybrid engine. This idea has been rumored to be in the pipeline for the Outback and Forrester for the past 12-18 mos, and is suppose to be released by Subaru in the Outback soon. This would be a HUGE win for Subaru and Outback and Forrester enthusiasts if Subaru can deliver a good AWD hybrid engine package, if it performs well (like the Toyota Highlander AWD Hybrid, and keep in mind the AWD Highlander Hybrid is a V-6 hybrid and weighs ~ 1,200 lbs more than the 2014 2.5 L 4-cyl Outback LTD, yet the Highlander hybrid delivers an impressive 28-29 mpg combined, a gain of 8-9 mpg over the V-6 non-hybrid Highlander; after all, Toyota now owns ~ 17 % of Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru's parent. And the FRS/BRZ Toyota/Subaru sports car joint venture has been a smashing success!). However, Subaru's first attempt at AWD hybrid engine technology, using a boxer engine, has in my opinion been a disappointment: the 2014 Hybrid XV Crosstrek, with negligible mpg improvement, a gain of only 4-5 mpg over the non-hybrid XV Crosstrek. But so was Honda's first attempt with the Accord Hybrid a few years back, and now the soon to be released 2014 Hybrid Accord looks to be a clear winner, possibly knocking the Toyota Camry Hybrid out of first place (for a full sized family hybrid).
Ah, very true regarding the electrochromatic mirrors! I notice that the rearview on my car doesn't respond very quickly to input when it is quite cold, but those are temps that most customers will never see or see only rarely see (such as upper midwest, like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and many Canadian customers). The mirror still works, it just fades slowly (takes several seconds) and recovers slowly when the input is gone. Aside from that, I'd love to have sideview mirrors that had this feature.
I'd much rather see Subaru pursue diesel in the NA market before hybrid. They have a fantastic opportunity in front of them with diesel. I agree that we want to see solid economy gains (regardless of route), I just don't think that Subaru really has anything unique to offer in the gasoline-hybrid arena.
nine51 Posts: 78I second the post by xwesx for a more attractive Outback/Legacy in the next generation. Subaru has always been somewhat guilty of putting function ahead of form, but the current generation of the Outback/Legacy line has never appealed to me especially after the great looking cars of the 05-09 model line. For a time they seemed to be going after Audi in terms of styling, but I'm not sure what they were trying to achieve with the current design. Maybe they are influenced too much by Toyota? Not really warming up to their styling at all. I do appreciate their move to include a sunroof option in the "Premium" line and not force buyers to move to the Limited to get it. I prefer cloth seats to leather so the Premium version is more my style. Also, keep the tech simple to use while driving. I recently rented a Ford Edge that was nice, but you had to take your eyes off the road for too long to do simple tasks like change the A.C. temp or radio channels. Even had to search to figure out how to turn off the stereo. I like the old-school knobs that you can turn without looking.
XWESX I agree with you on the diesel power plant; actually I'd like to see them develop/introduce a diesel-electric hybrid engine instead of gas-electric hybrid (I think VW and M-B have been working on the diesel-electric hybrid engine tech for some time), but diesel in autos (PU trucks like Dodge, Ford & Chevy have done a bit better) has had very limited success (ie, M-B) in the US vs Europe.
That's very true, Jake. That said, times are definitely changing, and I really hope Subaru doesn't miss the boat. I'm not opposed to diesel-electric hybrids, but I also think that they would be taking an even greater risk going there aside from the fact they'd be harnessing the "best of both worlds" by coming up with a car that could get exceptional city -and- highway mileage.
Adoption of the Cruze, for example, which is GM's first passenger car diesel offering in nearly 30 years, is posting positive sales projections as production and breadth of availability continue to ramp up:
June: 188 units
July: 347 units
Aug: 430 units
Sept: 479 units
Oct: 510 units
Yes XWESX a diesel option for the Outback or Forrester stateside would be welcome and possibly well received, since Subaru's first venture into gas-electric hybrid technology in the XV Crosstrek yields only a ~ 10% increase in MPG for an additional increase of price of ~ $2,500-3,000, not that attractive for socially conscious Subie enthusiasts, who also happen to be very cost conscious. Reportedly, a European boxer 2.0 L diesel power plant (in an Impreza/Forester/Legacy/Outback bodies) can get 40-42 MPG on the highway, which makes more sense economically, if a buyer has to pay an additional $3,000 over a non-diesel model.
The following Autoblog article, "First Drive: 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid",in Iceland no less, yields some interesting (and disappointing info) about the XV Hybrid's performance, especially the last three paragraphs of the article.

Will Subaru offer a diesel power plant option for the Outback and Forester in the US, soon? Let's hope so. As you said, XWESX, times and perceptions changing regarding the benefits of diesel in cars in the US. Check out the following Audi/VW survey of US drivers and how they feel/think about the diesel option (click on 'Show Press Release' at bottom for more info): http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/15/audi-wants-more-diesels-in-us/
However, as this article suggests, the current administration in Washington is apposed to diesel vs hybrid or all electric vehicles to improve auto fuel efficiency.
And sometimes it's hard to fight 'city hall.'
I hope that they get with the program on the interior finishes. Geez Louise, everything is very hard plastic and looks and feels really cheap. I have owned a 2011 and 2013 Legacy 3.6R and love the handling and driving of the car, however when compared to any of the competition the interior is like an eastern block car from the 80's.
I tried a Fusion Titanium yesterday, that car should be the benchmark for fit and finish, feels like a poor man's A4.
Although the new Forester and now Impreza look and feel better, they are still far behind the mainstream brands as far as fit and finish. With VW and Ford making strong pushes with their brands and with Ford offering 4WD sedan technology and VW talking about it, Subaru is not the only manufacturer in this wheelhouse.
Make an effort on the interior of the new Legacy guys, no split screens (on top of the dash and on the centre console), better sod materials, etc. Otherwise I may have to shop other brands.
2015 Outback: Mild enhancements vs complete make-over? We should know pretty soon since the 2015 Outback 'Prototype' is suppose to be revealed next month at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Jan 13-14th, and then hit dealer showrooms Q2-Q3/2014.
Some critics are saying that Subaru is seeing increased market share because of it's customer loyalty to the brand. I don't have the survey results but I would think that it is because they have been building cars that are more refined and pleasing to the eye.
I believe that their improved status and sales will be compromised if they don't get better with interior finishes. For example; split screens on the impreza and forester, mechanical parts showing on the sunroof tracks and cheap looking finishes. I really hope that they pay attention to these details, it is not the look of the car or the performance, I don't think anyone questions that. They even have solved the under powered issues of old, now please pay attention to providing a cabin that buyers want to spend time in.
building cars that are more refined and pleasing to the eye.
Well, they are more refined (plus have much better passenger compartment space, which I think has made the biggest difference on sales), but pleasing to the eye? Um, okay. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that. Subaru is a fan, I think, of hitting the mark once, then straying again. :P
Car shoppers have recognized for a while now that Subaru represents a strong value. Two things that pushed them away were the cramped cabin and poor fuel economy (compared to similarly sized vehicles of the non-AWD sort). The cabin issue was resolved with the introduction of the 08 Impreza (and even moreso with the 12), 09 Forester, 10 Outback/Legacy. And, they are clearly making strong strides on the FE concerns.
While I'm not overly opposed to touchy-feely interior upgrades, you cannot expect that without it affecting the bottom line. I'd rather have the bottom line held lower and leave all that luxury stuff to the luxury brands.
I would love it if they would offer a manual in higher trims, or else a geared automatic at the very least. Had an Outback loaner for a couple of days, the CVT was really unpleasant. If the 6-cylinder can have a geared automatic, why not the 4-cylinder?
I'm sure though that there won't be a 6-cylinder with the new model. Hopefully the optional engine will be the 2.0 turbo from the Forester. That powertrain in the Forester, even though it is a CVT, has modes you can choose that are designed to perform as though they were a geared automatic, which might be an acceptable substitute.
And I know it is unheard of in a Subaru, but how about having a factory stereo that doesn't sound terrible? And a panoramic moonroof like the Forester has. Oh, and keyless access and start standard on all trims. What the heck, it's a wish list right?!

That ancient automatic with harsh low speed downshifts? I presume it will be retired. There is no problem with the new CVT in my 2014 Forester XT. The 2 liter turbo/CVT combination is both faster and smoother than my six cylinder/5 speed Outback of a few years ago.

Too bad there can't be a second option to the CVT.

My experiences with Subaru CVTs—and I've driven a number of them—have been very positive. No complaints at all.
@rsholland said: My experiences with Subaru CVTs—and I've driven a number of them—have been very positive. No complaints at all.
I have to agree with that. While it certainly feels different than a traditional torque-converter automatic (e.g., the "slushbox" auto w/ gears), it is also an extremely smooth transmission. I drove a Legacy with it equipped, as well as riding in another (with 7 people in it... long story!), and these cars are decently peppy as well.

They are not just learning how to kick, punch and a good takedown.

Costa's 7-year-old son is the youngest one in the class.
However, they are also learning about having respect for other individuals.
"The characteristics of building an individual and a good adult comes out of mixed martial arts," said head instructor Joe Soliz.

Caltrain is proposing to increase fares for commuters paying cash that would become effective exactly one year after their last round of fee hikes in 2011.
If the fare increases are approved by its board of directors, Caltrain would:
- Increase the cost of paper one-way and zone upgrade tickets by up to 25 cents per zone and day passes by up to 50 cents per zone. The cost of a one-way ride would remain the same for those using a Clipper card. Monthly Pass prices would also remain the same.
- Eliminate the 8-ride ticket
- Increase the cost of the Go Pass, an employer-sponsored pass, by $10 to $165, and setting the minimum level at $13,750.
- Lengthen the sales period for monthly transportation passes and parking permits from the 9th of the month to the 15th of the month.
As an example of the increase, round-trip travel between San Jose and San Francisco would go from $17.50 to $19.50.
Caltrain last raised its fares July 1, 2011, adding 25 cents to the base fare charged to ride the Peninsula commuter rail service.
Noting the 2011 increase, Caltrain's website stated "The Caltrain Board of Directors approved the 25 cent increase after extensive public input on resolving the rail system's current and ongoing fiscal problems. Members of the public, including customers, frequently commented that they would be willing to pay more to ride Caltrain if the increased fares helped to resolve the immediate budget crisis.
The newly-proposed increases - if they take effect - would be the seventh time Caltrain has raised fares in the past seven years.
Caltrain claims 40,000 customers use the rail service every weekday, but that fares paid by passengers only cover about 44 percent of the cost of providing the service.
Earlier in 2011, the Caltrain Board rejected a proposal to cut weekday service from 86 trains to 48 and close up to 10 stations.
Two public meetings will be held on the Peninsula to gather feedback about the newly suggested increases:
- Jan. 25 at 6 p.m.
City Council Chambers, 500 Castro St., Mountain View
- Jan. 25 at 6 p.m.
Caltrain Administrative Office, 1250 San Carlos Ave., San Carlos
A public hearing will be held:
- Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 at 10 a.m.
Caltrain Administrative Office, 1250 San Carlos Ave., San Carlos
Comments also can be e-mailed to email@example.com; sent by regular mail to District Secretary, Caltrain, P.O. Box 3006, San Carlos, CA 94070; or telephoned to 1.800.660.4287 (TDD for hearing impaired only 650.508.6448).
Correction: The article previously misstated the amount of a round trip ticket from San Francisco to San Jose would increase from $25.50 to $28.50. The current cost is actually $17.50, and it would increase to $19.50.

A jury Tuesday found three San Diego men guilty of murder in the stabbing death of a Wildomar pastor's son outside a Temecula bar.
James Fung, Marvin Black and Matthew Basler all face 80 years to life in prison when they are sentenced in the death of Ryan Armstrong, 22, whose father leads the congregation at Cornerstone Community Church.
They were also found guilty of attempted murder in the stabbing of Armstrong's friend, Joel Ross.
The jury did not find the men guilty of assault with a deadly weapon, opting instead to convict the three on a simple assault charge each.
Riverside County Superior Court Judge Angel Bermudez set sentencing for Jan. 11.
The verdict came after about four full and two partial days of deliberations, questions, readback of testimony and even a request to examine evidence.
Jurors indicated they had verdicts before the lunch recess, court records indicate.
The stabbings occurred outside ET's Sports Lounge in Temecula about 10:45 p.m. Dec. 26, 2008. Armstrong died at a hospital; Ross recovered from his wounds.
According to prosecution testimony, Armstrong was the peacemaker when an argument broke out earlier in the evening.
Witness testimony indicated that after things had seemingly settled down following an argument over a beer cup placed on a pool table, Armstrong was dragged to the back door by one or more of the defendants.
The defendants were thrown out but later drove around to the alley
The prosecution contends that the defendants jumped out of a truck and viciously attacked Armstrong and his friend.
The defense maintains that the defendants were swarmed by a large group and merely fought to free themselves of the melee.
Pastor Ron Armstrong of Cornerstone Community Church in Wildomar is Armstrong's father.

The Daily Citizen is expanding its coverage of local high school and college sports "After Deadline."
Daily Citizen sportswriters Devin Golden and Chris Whitfield have started a weekly podcast covering local high school and college sports teams in Whitfield and Murray counties. The podcast, "After Deadline," is online at www.daltonnow.com.
The duo recorded the first episode Tuesday at WTTI 1530 AM in Rocky Face. With insight and analysis — along with some sarcasm and friendly banter — Golden and Whitfield focus heavily on area high school football. The first episode includes their thoughts on Friday's matchups pitting Murray County against Model, Southeast Whitfield versus Ridgeland, Christian Heritage against Darlington and Dalton versus Northwest Whitfield.
"I'm very excited to bring our readers into the room for 'After Deadline' and the very fun conversations we have every day in the newsroom, most of the time conversations that take place after each night's deadline when the sports staff is unwinding," said William Bronson, The Daily Citizen's publisher. "I believe our readers will enjoy the straight sports talk, but even more the rest of the conversation."
Golden said podcasts are part of the industry's expansion into online reporting mediums.
"Long gone are the days when newspaper reporters simply wrote a story for the print product and that was the extent of the sports coverage," Golden said. "The Internet opened many fresh avenues for news outlets to tell stories, and podcasts are one of the multimedia-journalism tools increasing in popularity and making the best use of the digital age.
"Also, hats off to the people at WTTI for allowing us to use their facilities, equipment and computer programs. They were more than happy to grant our request, and without them this project would be very difficult to accomplish."
The first episode is about 37 minutes, but future episodes will be approximately 20 minutes.

Home ⋅ Christmas Cards & Photo Christmas Cards ⋅ Christmas Cards by Tiny Prints: Modern Collection ⋅ Le Papier Boutique
"This is my second time ordering postcards as my Christmas card and I love it. It's unique and fun. A couple things to note - it is small, but not tiny. It is nice if you don't have very high quality photos because you don't need to blow them up. One small complaint is that we couldn't put a return address label on the back because it would have covered our text. It would be nice if TinyPrints showed how much room is at the top (size)."
"The quality of this card was exceptional. The picture I chose to use was one I took while on vacation and it looks so great on the front of the card that everyone who has viewed it so far thinks it "came with the card" as a default photo. The crease in the card stock is perfectly positioned so that all edges and corners of the card line up. One would think that all card makers/printers ensure that is the case but I have ordered from other companies who delivered misaligned folded cards. I Love Tiny Prints and am very happy with my cards (again) this year!"

Nice update from SBNation.com's Paul Flannery, who spoke to Mitch McGary at NBA summer league in Orlando.
Came across this on bleacher report team stream. Not completely sure about its credibility, but it seems to make sense. I definitely hoped Nik would return perhaps selfishly, but you can't argue with his logic. Wishing the best to Nik in his future! Go blue!
As I agree with the breakdown given. It is just great to have Michigan BBall back and stronger than ever.
The B1G announced the conference awards...and there really are some Wolverines on this list!
Coming soon. #MadeinMarch pic.twitter.com/umTgqbj7A6— Michigan Basketball (@umichbball) March 6, 2014
The official Michigan basketball account tweeted a picture teasing new uniforms. The only noticeable change is the "Wolverines" on the front of the jersey instead of Michigan. Let us know what you think of the jerseys.
Michigan lacrosse almost achieved their biggest win yet, but came up short against Cornell.
MGoBlue.com has released a short video giving an inside look into the very first practice of the spring. Are you ready for football to return? Give us your thoughts on what your biggest story lines are heading into the spring game.
In an unsurprising development, Andrew Sinelli and Michael Downing have been suspended for actions taken during Saturday's game with Minnesota.
This is not related to UofM, however it is important to all Michigan citizens. Citizens for professional wildlife management are currently pushing for a ballot initiative to protect Michigan hunting and fishing rights. The three things they are pushing for are: •rapid response by the DNR if/when the Asian Carp enter the Great Lakes. •Free licenses and permits to active military members •To ensure that certain game species are managed by the Natural Resource Commission. Currently our rights are under attack by large organizations from the West Coast (SanDiegoMick). I encourage anyone that wishes to keep Michigan politics Michiganish to go to the above link, ask them to send you some petitions and then pass it around your workplace, your family and friends, and anyone else that you don't mind asking. This initiative is very important to our natural resources, however it has not received the press that many would like. I've been following this very closely and can answer any questions that you may have. Thanks everyone!

ORLANDO, FL. - The upward trend continues. Orlando International Airport continued to see double-digit passenger growth in October. Domestic and International travel reflected sizable increases.
"Approximately 12.6% more domestic travelers (2.5 million) went through the gates at Orlando International Airport when compared to October 2003, while over 8% more (166 thousand) international travelers experienced why Orlando International is the second highest rated airport in the world and highest rated in the country in customer satisfaction according to a recent J.D. Power and Associates survey," said C.W. Jennings, executive Director for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
The news was also good for the amount of cargo being shipped through Orlando International Airport. Total domestic and international cargo shipments increased over 13.76% in October.
As the airport continues to recover from hurricanes, Orlando Executive Airport had healthy aircraft operations numbers. Total traffic at the executive airport fell only one and a half percent for October with approximately 132 thousand flights.
Nearly 26 million passengers arrived and departed from Orlando International Airport the first ten months of 2004. If this trend continues, Orlando International Airport will see airport traffic rivaling what it experienced in 2000, which was a record setting year of nearly 31 million passengers.

Our core and adjunct faculty are friendly, determined and in-touch with the changing world of clinical care. We don't just stand behind a podium and lecture; we set up learning experiences for students to practice, apply, discuss, interact and analyze.
The School of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training considers its fundamental mission to be consistent with that of the College of Health Sciences. Specifically, the School seeks to:
- Address the physical therapy and athletic training needs of the community, state, and nation by graduating practitioners who are cultivated in evidence-based practice, patient-centered care, and inter-professional healthcare;
- Generate and disseminate new knowledge related to physical therapy, athletic training, and related disciplines by conducting innovative and translational research;
- Provide service to the academic, professional, and general communities in which the School is involved.
Nursing and Physical Therapy Students Partner with Physicians for Peace
For most students, spring break conjures up thoughts of relaxing somewhere warm in tropical breezes, far from schoolwork, perhaps on a Caribbean vacation. But, for seven nursing students and two physical therapy students from ODU, a work-free spring break in 2013 took a back seat to teach Resource Mothers, also known as Madres Tutelares, perinatal health education in the Dominican Republic.
Resource Mothers was created by Physicians for Peace in the Dominican Republic based on the need to mentor at-risk teenage mothers to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy, delivery and first year of a child's life.
The nursing students offered instruction on perinatal topics such as signs and symptoms of infant dehydration and awareness of sexually transmitted diseases. Hands-on-training included reinforcement of vital sign assessment. This training and education helps Resource Mothers assist their clients in seeking medical attention and preventing more serious complications. The physical therapy students focused on teaching the importance of recognizing infant motor milestones, as well as ways to reduce musculoskeletal pain during pregnancy.
"I saw this trip as a way to gain a different perspective from what I've been learning in nursing school, " said Marcella Kennedy, an ODU nursing student who graduates in August 2013. "I've learned that the problems I've seen in my clinical experiences are international problems as well."
To gain a better understanding of the women's daily struggles and living conditions, the students interviewed Spanish-speaking Resource Mothers and their teenage clients. During the week- long trip, students had the opportunity to accompany Resource Mothers as they worked with clients in their local neighborhoods. Students also toured the maternal child regional hospital, Los Minas Maternity Hospital, and the Dominican Association for Rehabilitation facility.
"Access to healthcare is a significant problem for young women of the lower socioeconomic classes in Santo Domingo," said Janice Hawkins, Chief Academic Advisor for ODU School of Nursing, and chaperone on the yearly trip. "Nursing students who go on this trip gain a new understanding of the limited healthcare services in the Dominican Republic compared to our own in the U.S."
The multidisciplinary spring break international outreach coordinated in collaboration with Physicians for Peace is now in its second year, and includes physical therapy and nursing students, as well as faculty from both specialties. Interestingly, two students on the trip are also involved in the Norfolk based Resource Mothers program where they work with low-income teenage mothers through their community health class. Kennedy is one of these students who had the opportunity to bridge her clinical work locally with the recent study abroad trip.
"It was so interesting to meet the Resource Mothers internationally after having worked with women with similar problems in my own backyard," Kennedy said. "In particular, teenage girls in both countries have problems with transportation to doctors' appointments and affording diapers. The two groups aren't as different as I imagined,".
Infant mortality rates are high in the Dominican Republic at 21.3 deaths per 1000 live births in 2012, compared to 6 deaths per 1000 live births in the United States, according to the Central Intelligence Agency. Dr. Ramon Lopez, Director of Physicians for Peace Latin Americas, said this is due, in part, to high teenage pregnancy rates. "Many of these girls have not graduated from high school," Lopez said. "This is why the Madres Tutelares are so important. They provide education and motivate these girls toward economic independence.
We give hope of a better life," Dr. Lopez said of the Madres Tutelares. "We motivate these girls to want a better life for themselves and their babies."
Post-Professional Athletic Training Program
The Post-Professional Athletic Training Program of study is designed to provide advanced didactic and clinical educational experiences for those who have previously met entry-level requirements for certification as an athletic trainer.
Doctor of Physical Therapy
The Doctor of Physical Therapy program is designed to prepare students with the knowledge, skills and clinical experience to become licensed physical therapists.
Faculty and students contribute to the knowledge base in physical therapy, athletic training and related disciplines using state of the art facilities.

Cyber Monday, the Super Bowl of online sales, broke all records this year, with sales up 19 percent over last year.
Mobile traffic accounted for 13 percent of total site visits, and sales are projected to reach $2 billion for desktop online sales, according to comScore.

A report out Tuesday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows women in Oklahoma earned 83 percent of their male counterparts during 2012.
The study looked at the median weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers. That figure is slightly above the nationwide average of women earning 80.9 percent compared to men.
The BLS says the ratio of women's-to-men's earnings fluctuated around 75 percent from 2004 to 2008, until reaching a high of 87.9 percent in 2009.

text: Once upon a time, I owned a Chevrolet El Camino because I liked a vehicle with the comfort of a car that could carry my dirtbike. The Chevy did that with style and ease. Then came the Subaru Brat, which did the same thing with better gas mileage and lower insurance rates. That covers the '70s and '80s, but there weren't many developments of any consequence in comfortable bike transport until Honda introduced the Ridgeline in March of 2005. It was met with mixed reviews from the automotive brain trust. Evidently, automotive brains don't need to be cocooned in a civilized, luxurious vehicle while carrying a motorcycle. Last winter, I drove more than 4000 miles in a 2011 Ridgeline while carrying a dirtbike or pulling a 3500-lb. travel trailer. For the most part, I love this vehicle. It has nimble handling like a car, albeit a large one. Though capacities are modest by American pickup-truck standards, it will still tow 5000 lbs. or carry up to 1546 lbs. of payload. And the Ridgeline is much more versatile than your average pickup. It seats five, and folding the rear seats down reveals a cavernous amount of luggage space. The tailgate opens vertically or horizontally, and there's another 8.5 cubic feet of lockable cargo area beneath the bed, along with three 12-volt power outlets. There's also a 115-volt socket in the center console to charge your laptop or other electronic devices. Performance is less than stellar, but more than adequate. The 3.5-liter, SOHC, 24-valve VTEC V6 sends 250 horsepower and 247 lb.-ft. of torque through an electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission and Honda's VTM-4 all-wheel-drive. That power normally drives the front wheels, but the system automatically diverts torque to the rear wheels when needed. This worked very well when pulling a trailer over icy Colorado roads without chains. The closed-box, unitized-body design supports the four-wheel-independent suspension and forms the foundation for its stable handling under load, even in adverse conditions. It even comes with an integrated Class III trailer hitch. Honda gave the Ridgeline a racing pedigree with a Stock Mini-Class win in the 2010 Baja 1000. So, what's not to like? Fuel mileage: The EPA estimates 15 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway, but I saw just 14 mpg city and 18 highway. And Honda recommends premium unleaded when towing more than 3500 lbs. Measured against similar vehicles, that's not horrible, but considering Honda's reputation for outstanding fuel economy, I would have liked a few more miles out of every gallon, especially in an empty truck at highway speeds. The Ridgeline isn't exactly cheap, either. Prices start at $28,900 for the base RT, and a fully equipped RTL with a satellite navigation system and rearview camera will set you back around $36,830. But if you're in the market for a four-wheel-drive truck that seats five, carries your motorcycle and drives like a car, the Ridgeline is literally in a class of its own. Invisible until it's opened, a lockable compartment built into the Ridgeline's bed can keep 8.5 cubic feet of gear safe and dry, or swallow a 72-quart ice chest with ease. Invisible until it's opened, a lockable compartment built into the Ridgeline's bed can kee Honda's Dual-Action tailgate can support up to 300 lbs., and opens like other pickup trucks. You can also swing it open to the side for loading other kinds of cargo. Honda's Dual-Action tailgate can support up to 300 lbs., and opens like other pickup truck Tech Spec Price (as tested) $36,830 Engine type l-c V6 Valve train SOHC, 24v i-VTEC Displacement 3500cc Transmission 5-speed automatic Claimed horsepower 250 bhp @ 5700 rpm Claimed torque 247 lb.-ft. @ 4300 rpm Front suspension MacPherson Struts Rear suspension Multi-Link with Trailing Arms Front brakes Dual 333mm ventilated discs w/ABS Rear brakes Dual 320mm solid discs w/ABS Tires P245/60R-18 By Peter Starr Enjoyed this Post?

Customer comments about Eames® 36 Round Cocktail Table in Ash by Herman Miller®:
As with many Herman Miller pieces the style is fabulous. And while I knew the the Ash was a laminate I thought perhaps the core would be of higher quality than a pressed wood and/or similar. That said the laminate is of decent depth and the balance of the construction is rock-solid, it is not flimsy by any means. It's a sleek little table; I got a Tiffany's crystal platter as an accent for it and it looks awesome.

This coffee table was just the right size when I lived in my loft, and now that I've moved into a house, I'm amazed at its versatility - it fits in both a loft aesthetic (modern, spare) and a more traditional one.
