Times West Virginian
There comes a time on every team in every season when leadership has to step forward within the confines of the locker room.
This is as true on the West Virginia University rifle team as it is on the football team, whose aim suddenly has gone astray and is faced with having its season end before it begins.
Coaches, of course, try to do what they can do and, in truth in college sports, they probably have more influence than do their professional brethren, and WVU's Dana Holgorsen has stepped up his leadership role in the wake of a 2-2 start and embarrassing 37-0 defeat to border rival Maryland.
But in situations like the one the Mountaineers are facing, some leadership from within is going to have to develop and develop rapidly for off the evidence taken from the Maryland game more humiliation may lie ahead as the next two games on the schedule are the two best and highest-scoring teams in the Big 12.
The problem, as it presents itself, is that the unit that appears least in need of leadership and direction is the defense, which has emerged as the strength on this team. It is there that nearly all of the leadership on the team exists, for offensively the unit is young and unproven.
While nose tackle Shaq Rowell stepped forth in the gloom of Saturday's locker room to say things that had to be said, establishing himself as something of a folk hero at least among a media corps starved to hear something beyond coaching propaganda, leadership is lacking.
Defensively, Rowell and Will Clarke up front offer leadership, as does Doug Rigg from a linebacker spot and Darwin Cook and young Karl Joseph as safeties, but on the offensive side you have little experience, many people rushed into the program from around the world and a freshman quarterback who was not even allowed to speak with the media on Tuesday following the Maryland game, let alone in the immediate moments following.
Say what you will about Geno Smith, but win or lose he never missed a chance to be the team's spokesman that the quarterback must be if he is to have the respect of his teammates.
We tried on Tuesday to speak with those who lead and don't follow, asking just what they felt they could or should do at this most trying moment.
"You don't let your emotions take control," offered Will Clarke, who is coming off his best game as a Mountaineer, according to the coaches. "You go back to the things that made you a leader. You stay calm, cool, collected and lead the right way."
And that is? If he had to get one point across to his team, what would it be?
"That you only lost one conference game and you have eight more conference games left. The season doesn't end losing 37-0 to Maryland," he said.
Rigg is another to be looked up to, coming back from a head injury after missing just a week, going out there and trying to stem an unstemmable tide.
"You have to keep the morale up," he said. "A lot of bad stuff is going around and you hear it, stuff about our season crumbling, but I'm a senior and I don't have time to rebuild. We're communicating to the younger guys that it's hard to win in college football. It's going to be a battle every game.
"Even though you lost, you just can't throw in the season. You have to come out fighting every game."
On the offensive side, Pat Eger spent much of his time repeating much of the coaches' mantra but finally narrowed it down to this:
"Everyone has to get better at what they need to do, and all the pieces will come together. If everyone focuses on that this week, we'll be good to go next week."
Forget Maryland, was the message, and forget Oklahoma State. Concentrate, instead, on yourself, on your job, on making yourself a better player for the parts, should they improve, will improve the whole.
And Quinton Spain, quiet leader at tackle who is more thoughtful than one might imagine, he offered his own advice to his teammates.
"I just talked to the players and told them that was an embarrassment, what we did. We all had a bad game. We have to put it in the past and move on, just like Oklahoma," he said, failing to mention that it was Georgia State lying ahead then rather than Oklahoma State.

Mrak Released as Valpo's Men's Soccer Coach
Wednesday, November 29, 2006Valparaiso University director of athletics Mark LaBarbera has announced that after a review of the men's soccer program, the decision has been made not to retain Mis' Mrak as the Crusaders' head coach.
?I am appreciative of the 16 years of service that Mis' has given to the program and wish him well," LaBarbera said. ?I feel that we have reached a point where it is in the best interest of the men's soccer program to move in a new direction."
Mrak led Valpo to 79 victories during his tenure with the Crusaders, including a pair of Mid-Continent Conference regular season titles in 1997 and 1998. His 1996 squad won Valpo's only Mid-Con Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Play-in match. During his stint with the Brown and Gold, 39 athletes earned All Mid-Con honors.
A national search to fill the head coaching vacancy will begin immediately.

Halloween 2012
Unmasking Halloween
Is America's second holiday a commercialized travesty, or still a chance to subvert the status quo?
Published: October 24, 2012
Among American holidays, Halloween is really the outlier. Holidays from Yom Kippur to Christmas to Ramadan grow from the traditions of major religions; Halloween is a pagan holiday in the loosest disguise. Even secular holidays like Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July are anchored by home and family; Halloween sends children out to knock on strangers' doors. Other holidays in the United States mark blessings and bounties, promises ranging from the coming of spring to the arrival of the new year; Halloween celebrates something darker, more anarchic, as the natural world dies, with the sweet rot of leaves in the air.
Other holidays promise gifts or feasts; on Halloween you ask for them — with a hint of actual menace behind the demand. After all, if you don't give a treat, you can expect some tricks. And let's not forget Devil's Night, which, for the relatively innocent children of suburban Detroit, was an opportunity to garland trees with toilet paper and egg the homes of perceived foes. (That was true, too, once upon a time, in the city itself, before arson became part of the trickster's arsenal and insurance fraud entered the picture.)
It's a strange holiday, one that turns children into roving gangs of monsters, out to do tricks or worse, and yet the whole community joins in to endorse it all. (For a look at just how anarchic it was a century ago, see the Halloween scene in Meet Me in St. Louis.)
There was always this subversive, somewhat threatening undercurrent to the holiday. But as Halloween has changed, perhaps some of it has gotten lost. Certainly, for people of a certain age, it's strange to look back on the evolution it has undergone over the last 30 years: going from marauding mobs of kids chasing a sugar high through the night to a rigidly chaperoned multibillion-dollar industry.
Halloween as big business
Halloween really started to change in the 1980s. Although childhood trick-or-treating continued throughout the decade, with an estimated 93 percent of U.S. households with children under age 12 still participating in 1988, Halloween was becoming a more adult-oriented holiday. And spending grew accordingly. By the early 1990s, Americans had made Halloween the second biggest adult party night after New Year's Eve. About a decade ago, Halloween surpassed Thanksgiving as the event Americans spent most on next to Christmas.
The spending on Halloween has been nothing short of fantastic. Even as times get tough, the spending only gets higher. In 2005, before the 2007 crash set in, Americans spent almost $5 billion on Halloween. After a slight drop in spending for 2009, by 2010, holiday spending bounced back and climbed higher still to $5.8 billion. This year, Americans will spend an estimated $7 billion to $8 billion on the holiday.
And that's more than candy and costumes. It includes parties, events and attractions. For instance, the Haunted House Association estimates there are more than 2,000 Halloween attractions charging admission fees, including not just haunted houses but corn mazes, pumpkin patches and hayrides, all "haunted," of course. Haunted attractions in the United States bring in an estimated $300 million to $500 million each year, drawing almost a half-million customers.
With numbers this high, even the more frivolous items on the budget still add up to mind-boggling figures. For instance, this year, Americans will spend an estimated $370 million on costumes — for their pets. And that's up about $60 million from last year.
When numbers get this big this fast, you can be sure there are deep-seated trends at work driving them. Among the most powerful, arguably, is that Halloween represents a chance to escape from reality. In a tough economic climate, with high unemployment, stagnant pay and a rising cost of living, the chance to blow off some steam and forget about it all gains a powerful allure.
And research shows that young people, aged 18-24, are more likely than any other age group to party on Halloween. Is it a coincidence that, for this age group, only 56 percent have a job? Or that many face high college tuition costs and crushing student loans? It would seem that, given the fearful climate for young adults, Halloween is a chance to trade in real fears for imagined ones.
Diluting Halloween
Perhaps the way Halloween has become so embedded in U.S. culture has to do with how it can be tweaked to alter its appeal. Certainly, in places where fundamentalist Christians hold sway, we've seen an effort to subsume it into "harvest celebrations," in which the paganistic undertones are dialed down and Halloween becomes less about jack-o-lanterns and haunted houses and more about pumpkins and hayrides. And plenty of families have steered away from dressing their kids as monsters, ghosts and vampires.
What's more, parents fearful of "stranger danger" have done their best to turn Halloween into a daytime activity performed in the company of adults. Driven by fears of stranger kidnapping (even when FBI statistics say your child is more likely to die of drowning in a pool, bathtub or toilet) and tales of apples spiked with razors (none of which could be confirmed by researchers), too many overzealous, overly fearful parents have taken the adventure, spontaneity and fun out of Halloween entirely.

By Kathy Gibbons
---- — TRAVERSE CITY-- Mary Clifton doesn't just offer her patients advice on how to live healthier lives.
She models it.
Now she's written a book about it with her daughter, Chelsea M. Clinton, M.D.
Around seven years ago, Clifton was diagnosed with prediabetes. It came as a surprise because she was physically active and, she thought, followed a healthy diet.
"I ate cereal for breakfast and yogurt and cheese for snacks in the morning, cherry chicken salad for lunch and meat and two veggies for dinner," she said. "I was following a great diet.
"I perceived myself to be exceedingly healthy."
At the time, many physicians online were recommending vegetarian and vegan diets, which she initially decided were not for her.
"I thought then, there's no way I would ever compromise my health by limiting my exposure to meat and dairy because of course, you need meat and dairy," she said. "So of course, I didn't do it."
Then came what she described as an "accidental veg" day. She ran out of yogurt, had no milk at home, ended up having only vegetables at lunch, some pasta for dinner, and next thing she knew, her sugar was down for the first time.
That got her attention. The more she leaned that way, her allergies disappeared. Her cholesterol dropped by 70 points. And Clifton realized that in spite of all of her medical training, she didn't really know how to counsel her patients on nutrition.
So she made it her mission to learn — from medical and nutrition experts, and from her own patients. What she took away was a philosophy that she's been using to counsel her patients since. That formed the basis for the book, "Waist Away: How to Joyfully Lose Weight and Supercharge Your Life." It offers a combination of advice, success stories, recipes and more.
"I've gotten a lot of people off their diabetes meds or I've taken people who are on three or four blood pressure pills down to one or two," she said. "I tell people to eat more plant and less animal "¦ to push down and replace (meat) with whole grains, or beans."
Clifton said many of her patients have been successful at losing weight and reducing medications.
"I had one woman in her early 50s, her mom died of a heart attack, her dad died of a heart attack, her brother had a stent," Clifton said. "She felt like she had no control, like it was her genetics.
"I gave her the research I know on diet and talked to her about changing her diet and I saw her three months later. She had dropped her cholesterol by 50 points, had normalized her blood sugar and she was crying. She said, 'For the first time in a decade, I have hope.'"
And that, Clifton said, is why she became a physician in the first place.
"I'm not just shuffling pills and checking labs," she said. "I'm healing people, and that's what I wanted to do."

OK, I'm getting weighed in at work tomorrow, and if I show anything more than a reasonable gain in BF, I lose 500 bucks.
My question is how fast will I lose it.
Last 12 weeks I have Lifted/Ran/Swam, etc. Also, my diet was very very strict. I gained a good amount of muscle and shedded fat away. 15% BF to 9.2% BF.
This week my diet was still strict, however, my excersize has gone down this week. I didnt play frisbee this week, ran twice rather than 4 times, and lifted just once.
In short:
12 weeks ago: 15% BF
hardcore working out/diet
Last Thursday: 9.2% BF
Since then, much less excersize, but hard diet (...except saturday :P).
Can you guys give me a decent prediction of what my body fat will be at this week?
If I am over 12% I lose.
Well, forget your body fat... what's your weight?
If you were 200 then 1% bf is equal to 2 lb. So in order to have gained 3% body fat in less than a week you would have needed to gain 6 pounds of pure fat.
If you were 100 lb then it 'only' would have taken 3 pounds of fat.
The Reconstruction Project (Journal)
Age: 34, Height: 5'4, Weight: 185, BF: somewhere between 15 and 45%
Weightlifting Start Date: July 26, 2005 - Bench 95 x 6, Dead 110 x 8, Smith Squat 180 x 8
Bests: Bench 185 x 8, Dead 400 x 1, Zercher Squat 295 x 3
Stop thinking and go lift - Paul Stagg
Intriguing. How is the measurement being done? And, why would you lose $500--is it some sort of bet?

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
56 Up is the eighth and latest installment in the British documentary Up series. Began in 1964 and airing every seven years, audiences have followed a select group of seven year old children from 1964 to now with the expressed intent to examine British class structure and its power to determine one's life. We the viewers are allowed access to the personal up's and down's of a participant's life story, including a quick summation of their life as it was and as it is now. The interviews probe the typical subject matter such as married life, employment, children, health and various laments, grievances and successes. Viewers won't be mesmerized by anything unconventional, extraordinary or surprising. Most of the children have grown up to live relatively banal, middle class lives even as they've likely felt a certain pressure as living subjects within an entertainment/sociological experiment.

Keep track of behavioral changes in senior pets
If you're seeing more senior dogs and cats in your practice these days, give yourself a pat on the back. Better medical treatment means pets are living longer. However, many of these older pets are affected by cognitive aging, and the resulting behavioral changes can be distressing to your clients.
Dr. Karen Overall, PhD, DACVB, author of Clinical Behavioral Medicine for Small Animals (Elsevier, 1997), offers input on how you can work with senior pets and their owners. "Client distress potentially leads to euthanasia of the pet," she says. "We can now do better."
Help your clients keep track of behavior changes in their senior pets. Click here to download the PDF handout to give to clients.
Watch for these signs
According to Dr. Overall, the most common behavioral changes clients bring up are:
Pinpoint the problem
Some of these same signs can also indicate anxiety, which is not uncommon in older pets—so you need to know what you're dealing with, Dr. Overall says. It's also essential to assess and treat the pet for pain, which can affect behavior. Having a client fill out a questionnaire (see above) at every annual visit beginning when a pet reaches middle age can help you determine the root problem.
With cognition problems, both medication and behavioral interventions may prove useful, Dr. Overall says. Here are some ways clients can work with their pets' behavior:

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Wednesday that former presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin were emblematic of an "idiot trying to make a name" with calls for the execution of whoever leaked secret U.S. documents to his organization. He said people calling for violence against him should be prosecuted for incitement to murder.
Assange also told msnbc cable television that the world was facing "a new type of digital McCarthyism ... being pushed from Washington" in an attempt to quash his organization's reporting, and he called an Army soldier suspected of helping WikiLeaks a "political prisoner."
Answering allegations by Vice President Joe Biden and others that WikiLeaks was a terrorist organization, Assange said that no one has "ever been physically harmed" by WikiLeaks' release of secret documents.
"Whoever the terrorists are here, it's not us," Assange told msnbc.
Assange said there had been calls by politicians and "shock jocks on TV" for his assassination and the kidnapping of his staff. He called it "the threat of violence in order to achieve a political end ... and that is the definition of terrorism."
Asked by msnbc's Cenk Uygur how he would respond to comments by Huckabee and Palin about his organization, Assange said: "It's just another idiot trying to make a name for himself."
"If we are to have a civil society, we cannot have senior people making calls on national TV to go around the judiciary and illegally kill people," he said. "That is incitement to murder."
Assange, an Australian national, is under house arrest at a British mansion near London, facing a Swedish warrant seeking his extradition for questioning on charges of rape. Assange has denied the allegations.
WikiLeaks' release of secret diplomatic cables has caused a diplomatic crisis and laid bear some of the most sensitive U.S. dealings with governments around the world. It also has prompted an American effort to stifle WikiLeaks by pressuring financial institutions to cut off the flow of money to the organization. U.S. Attorney General Eric holder has said his department is also considering whether it can prosecute the release of information under the Espionage Act.
In other WikiLeaks developments Wednesday:
Assange told msnbc that WikiLeaks was unsure "if this young man is our source or not. Our technology is set up so that we don't know that."
"If we are to believe the allegations, then this man acted for political reasons. He is a political prisoner in the United States. ... Civil rights organizations should be investigating the conditions under which he is held."
He called allegations that WikiLeaks had conspired with Manning "absolute nonsense."
"That's not how our technology works, that's not our our organization works," Assange said. "I never heard of the name of Bradley Manning before (seeing it in) the media."
But Assange offered a warning to other media that if a conspiracy charge could be levied against him, then it could be levied against any reporter who works confidential sources to get sensitive information.
"That's going to take out all of good government journalism as it occurs in the United States," he said.

Typically, the Perkins-Tryon Lady Demons have no problem pulling out to a large lead. Thursday at Jim Norick State Fair Arena, the Lady Demons struggled hitting shots but played good defense to record a 57-47 victory over the Hugo Lady Buffaloes in the Class 3A state quarterfinals at State Fair Arena.
"I don't know if it was first game or what it was," Burnett said. " ... It's over, we got the win and we move on."
The Lady Demons shot 40 percent from the field and turned the ball over 14 times, five more than the Lady Buffaloes. P-T started quickly as seniors Jordan Gorham and McKenzie Stanford scored to give the Lady Demons a 7-0 lead.
Hugo didn't score until Ray'Shionne Smith hit a 3-pointer with 3:29 left in the first. Smith hit a second three and Charmany Tarkington scored a 3-point play to even the score. The Lady Demons led 13-9 after the first with Stanford and Gorham supplying the scoring.
In the second, the Lady Demons' offense opened up as seniors Lacey Shipp and Siara Breeden and junior Jeri Adkism hit 3-pointers. Those shots helped Perkins-Tryon pull out to a 35-24 halftime lead. Stanford said the guards stepped up.
"We relied on our guards to make their shots," Stanford said.
The Lady Demons' offensive momentum from the second didn't carry over into the third. P-T didn't score until Stanford made a basket with 3:45 left in the quarter. Smith scored six points in the quarter to cut the Lady Demons' lead to 40-33.
"We struggled all day," Burnett said. "We couldn't hit from inside or outside."
In the fourth quarter, Perkins-Tryon put the game away with its free-throw shooting, converting 11. Hugo wasn't able to get closer and had two players foul out. Burnett said he hopes his team gained confidence having to fight through adversity.
"Adversity comes with playing in The Big House," Burnett said. "We handled the pressure and hopefully this gives us confidence heading into the (semifinals)."
Stanford said she thinks they did a good job on defense.
"I think we did good at keeping them in front of us," Stanford said. "We did good at blocking out and getting the boards. Coach said going in that we needed to get every board and not give them a second chance."
The Lady Demons out-rebounded Hugo 42-29. Gorham led the Lady Demons in scoring with 19 and shared the team lead with sophomore Bailey Wensler in rebounds with 11. Stanford scored 15. Hugo's Smith led all scorers with 25.
Perkins-Tryon advanced to the semifinals and was scheduled to play the defending state champion Millwood Lady Falcons at 9 a.m. Friday.
"Everybody up here is good," Burnett said. "... There's four teams left. We are excited to be where we are at and our going to give it all we have tomorrow."

New Origins
RATED: ★ ★ ★ 1/2 buckets | WORTH: Matinee or DVD
Rated: PG-13 Violence and action sequences.
Release Date: August 10, 2012
Runtime: 2 hours 15 minutes
Director: Tony Gilroy
Writers: Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy, based on the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum
Cast: Jeremy Renner, Scott Glenn, Stacy Keach, Edward Norton, Rachel Weisz, Joan Allen
SYNOPSIS: Aaron Cross, a genetically altered government military product, finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that extends beyond both Trendstone and Blackbriar programs.
REVIEW: Tony Gilroy, director of George Clooney's Michael Clayton, has made a living adapting the Robert Ludlum books that centered around the amnesic assassin Jason Bourne. He has written the screenplays for the first three Bourne films The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum, all written by the late Robert Ludlum. Eric Van Lustbader took up the mantle of writing more for the Bourne series, completely seven more novels. For The Bourne Legacy, Jason Bourne/David Webb takes a distant back seat to a new action hero named Aaron Cross.
For a summary of the first three Bourne films, check out The Road So Far.
Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner, The Avengers) goes through spec training in the Alaskan wilderness, trying to get to a base camp with minimal supplies and resource. Each day he takes blood samples from his arm and ingests one blue and one green pill he calls 'chems'. Back in the continental United States, Director of the CIA Ezra Kramer (Scott Glenn, Sucker Punch) informs Retired Admiral Mark Turso, USN (Stacy Keach, Machete) that a London Guardian journalist is looking into the government projects known as Treadstone, Blackbriar and the individual known as Jason Bourne. With Jason Bourne at large and evading capture, Turso sets in motion an investigative body to figure out just how far the damage may have spread due to Bourne and the failed assassins' projects, with Retired Colonel Eric Byer (Edward Norton, Moonrise Kingdom) at its head. When Byer and his team find out that the fallout from Bourne extends to other current government programs due to several connection points between forward thinking Dr. Dan Hillcott (Neil Brooks Cunningham, You Don't Know Jack) and Dr. Albert Hirsch (Albert Finney, The Bourne Ultimatum), Byer makes the call to dismantle as many of the government agency programs as he feels may be jeopardized by the fallout, including project Outcome. One by one, every facet of project Outcome is eliminated, the high-ranking project managers, the scientific team, and the field assets. Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz, Dream House) is the only one to escape the shooting spree of co-worker Dr. Donald Foite (Zeljko Ivanek, Heroes), while Aaron Cross is the only one to evade the missiles from unmanned remote-piloted drones. Finding themselves thrust together against Byers and his agents, Shearing and Cross must work together so that Cross can continue without losing the cognitive and physical enhancements that the Outcome program had instilled in him.
The Bourne Legacy marks the fourth Robert Ludlum title in the Bourne series to be adapted to the big screen. Like The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatumbefore it, The Bourne Legacy drastic deviates from the original story. Where in the original story, Jason Bourne / David Webb (Matt Damon, We Bought a Zoo) still remained center stage in the plotline, The Bourne Legacy film recasts the main protagonist as Aaron Cross. With Matt Damon leaving the franchise as Jason Bourne, the studios take a chance with Jeremy Renner as a new character with some of the same problems as Bourne without trying to reboot the franchise with a new Jason Bourne. Some of what made Matt Damon's Jason Bourne so good as a character was because he was forced to solve the puzzle of his life without the aid of any idea of whom he was. Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross is all that Jason Bourne was - and more! There are no more worries of memory gaps as Aaron Cross retains all of his faculties and has fighting skills enhanced by chromosome gene manipulations. But having fewer complications in one way simply leads to complications in other ways. Written by Tony and Dan Gilroy, and directed by Tony Gilroy, The Bourne Legacy is indeed a film that should be considered as a legacy to the franchise. With the switch to Renner from Damon, the Gilroy's had a huge challenge in front of them. How can they continue in the fine tradition that Matt Damon established with his portrayal of Ludlum's signature protagonist? One way the Tony and Dan tie The Bourne Legacy in with the first three films is an opening shot where Aaron Cross lies prone in the water with a camera shot from below. He isn't unconscious, but the parallel to Jason Bourne floating in the Mediterranean Sea from the original Identity does not go unnoticed by fans of the franchise.
Like its predecessors, the story is both intricate and kinetic. With many moving parts, the audience must pay attention to both locations and dialogue to follow along. What some may not understand fully are the references to the earlier films. If you have not seen the first trilogy, some plot points and dialogue may not fully register for a while. The story is written with a complete inclusive story, but fans of the franchise will get a little more out of the story than newbie's to the series. Is it imperative to view the first three movies to enjoyThe Bourne Legacy? No. But it will help improve the experience.
Some will speculate and defend Matt Damon as the better protagonist. There was no question that Damon could handle the hurt, broken psyche of a man that was Jason Bourne. But he did surprise audiences with his honed fighting skills on the screen. Jeremy Renner is a different story. He has already proven he can kick ass with his stints as the antagonist to Colin Ferrell in S.W.A.T. and as the archer Hawkeye in The Avengers. His pedigree includes the dramatic turn in The Hurt Locker, but he still needed to sway audiences with another dramatic role. He can be compared to Matt Damon but shouldn't be. The roles are only similar in that they are government assets being hunted down and that they have something missing that they are trying to reclaim – memories or medication.
The story may be kinetic and involved as stated earlier, but the film's 2-hour length does lend itself to a little aerodynamic drag. Like a Tom Clancy or the other Bourne film, all of the pieces slowly move themselves into place before any of the high-octane action really gets underway. Sure, there are pockets of action throughout the film to add onto the political and covert intrigue, but some of the elements take too long to get there.
Jeremy Renner is a good choice to carry on the Bourne legacy in spite of any misgivings some may have. As more of the series come to screen, he will definitely become as synomonous to the series as Damon is now. Renner brings his own pain to the role, his eyes giving away the hurt of the character as well as Damon did. Adding a female protagonist to the mix, Rachel Weisz is just as scared as any that came before her, even if she has a more professional and classified-cleared position. Sometimes residing within the government machine allows one to know more of the atrocities that an outsider could conceive. Edward Norton is the perfect pick for the efficient and expeditious Byer and his patriotic mission to keep the country and its government covert programs out of harm's way. The rest of the cast is numerous, but those three are the most critical. Even the activated LARX-3 agent is more of a footnote than a main player, in spite of his major role in the last action chase and fight sequence. It doesn't matter who is chasing Renner's new Bourne front man. It only matters that he is able to prevail against insurmountable odds.
The Bourne Legacy is a slow building tale, building on the foundation and elements from the original Bourne trilogy, as well as presenting a new origin story in the same vein as the original… with a twist. The burned government asset with his own moral code is the same, while most everything else is just a little different.

He didn't have to do that. But he WANTS his 'works of art' (my phrase, not his) to all be at their best.Ordering a 28" SS "Horizon" was a no-brainer for me.

Best Italian Restaurant San Francisco 2000 - L'Osteria del Forno
519 Columbus Ave.
San Francisco, CA 94133
This here's the total North Beach experience: a tiny jewel of an eight-table storefront trattoria smack on Columbus Avenue where the neighborly waitstaff makes you feel right at home and the kitchen produces amazingly flavorful Old World delicacies. The food's necessarily simple -- the kitchen doesn't even have room for a stovetop -- but the brick-oven pizzas, daily pastas, and focaccia sandwiches are worth waiting in line for (an inevitability if you arrive at prime time), the antipasti include such temptations as speck and bresaola, there are daily entrees of great individuality, and the passing parade is what makes North Beach -- well, North Beach. And to top off its charms, the remuneration is absolutely minimal.

Dunsborough is a small beachside community located approximately 250km south of Perth, in Western Australia. Although quant, this township is a favourite with domestic and international tourists, and as such, has received Western Australia's top tourism town award. Once travellers arrive in Dunsborough they will easily be able to see why, as the region has a magnitude of exciting activities, sights and accommodation—including pet-friendly and family-friendly options—to offer holiday makers, regardless of their interests or budgets.
Travellers staying in Dunsborough have a plethora of options when it comes to things to see and do; whether they are interested in hitting the water for some surfing, fishing, whale watching or diving, or travelling around the stunning country side and sampling some of the regions terrestrial delights.
As Dunsborough is a coastal community, many of the popular holiday activities take place in or on the water. One of the most popular pastimes for locals and international visitors alike is surfing. There are numerous surf beaches in the Dunsborough region, although the most convenient for travellers with holiday rentals in the Dunsborough township is Yallingup, which is located approximately 9 km south west.
Fishing is another holiday activity favourite in the Dunsborough region, with visitors having the option of fishing from the beach or trialling one of the various deep sea fishing charter companies, many of which operate directly out of Dunsborough. Regardless of where they fish however, travellers are all but guaranteed to end up back at their holiday home with some great stories, and a delicious fish on the barbeque.
For holiday makers that are more interested in observing the Western Australian oceanic wildlife, whale watching and diving tours are also on offer in the Dunsborough area. Many of the whale watching tours depart from Dunsborough or Augusta, depending on the season, and allow international visitors to get up close and personal with Humpback whales, Southern Right Whales, Minke Whales and New Zealand Fur Seals.
Those holiday makers that prefer to keep their feet firmly planted on dry land need not despair, as Dunsborough also offers a plethora of great land based activities. The fact that the township is a mere 50km from the world renowned Margaret River region also makes day trips a must.
The Margaret River area offers travellers the opportunity to visit some of the most well known wineries in Australia, which play host to various exquisite boutique wines and restaurants. Holiday makers, who are interested in the inner workings of vineyards, also have the opportunity to organise accommodation at many of the wineries, which furthermore saves them having to worry about driving after the generous wine tastings that are usually presented.
In addition to great food and wine, travellers also have the opportunity to undertake daytrips in order to explore some fantastic Western Australian sights, such as the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, which is said to be the tallest lighthouse in mainland Australia. Holiday makers may also like to undertake some of the amazing scenic drives, which are scattered throughout the region, such as the Boranup Forest Scenic Drive, which begins approximately 6 km from Dunsborough.
Travellers, who are a little more energetic in comparison, may choose to set off from their holiday rental on foot, and sample some of the superb hiking trails that Dunsborough has to offer. These trails range from roughly a kilometre in length to over 135 kilometres, which allows international visitors to see parts of the West Australian coastline that many locals may not have set foot on.
Dunsborough experiences a Mediterranean climate, which comprises hot summers and cool wet winters, resulting in countless warm sunny days. This makes the area a great year round holiday destination, although the majority of tourists visit the region during the spring or summer months to escape the North Australian summer. Regardless of when travellers choose to visit Dunsborough however, they are guaranteed to find activities, sights and accommodation to fir their taste and budget.
Numerous airlines such as Lufthansa, British Airways and Qantas offer flights to Perth departing from both Heathrow and London City Airports. Once in Perth holiday makers can either choose to rent a car, or take the bus, to cover the remaining 250km between themselves and their stunning Dunsborough beach house.
Western Australia is a beautiful place to visit. When I was on holiday a couple of years ago with my sister, we discovered a beach by accident called Meelup Beach just outside of Dunsborough and it was honestly the most beautiful, untouched beach that I have ever seen. I must admit being in Western Australia I was worried about the sharks! However I didn't see any! We layed around the beach for the day, it was beautiful and sunny, just pure bliss! Bright white sands and crystal clear water that reflects the sunny blue sky. The perfect place to spend with the family or with a special loved one.
Once you are refreshed from a dip in the ocean, its lunch time and you feel a bit peckish, head to a cafe called Evivva for some wood fired pizza and some freshly squeezed juice. We went here and it was fantastic. You might even get a visit from Winston the local Yellow-Plumed Honey eater (bird).
Further inland and south you will find Margaret River, a lovely destination and great for all those wine lovers. If you are like me, you will love the Margaret River Chocolate Company, when you visit you are invited to try all the types of chocolate, it's amazing.
Anyone who chooses to visit Western Australia is sure to have an amazing time and have stories to tell and this one is mine.

---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Some churches have sunny gardens, others, shady, green cemeteries.
Unity of Traverse City, whose acreage backs up to the Holiday Hills, boasts scenic wooded trails, a labyrinth or prayer circle, and a gently sloping woodland amphitheater with stone slab seating.
Built by congregation member Mark Kniat, the amphitheater has been the site of weddings, Sunday school overnights and church picnics. But it is perhaps best known for its Crescent Woods Gatherings, a lantern-lit summer concert series featuring local musicians.
"It's directed to family friendly entertainment," said June Neal, who produces the series with fellow congregation member Sue Schwartz. "I scour the paper cover to cover, and a little of the Manistee paper, and we find the latest, greatest people to be involved. Sometimes somebody else recommends them, like Jill Beauchamp at Horizon Books."
Neal said the series started five years ago with mostly poetry and guitar music by talented folks within the congregation. Now it includes several concerts a season by some of the area's better-known musicians, put on by six church volunteers who handle tickets, CD sales, concessions and other tasks. To keep it fresh, she tries introduce two new acts each year.
Concert-goers can bring their own chairs or sit on one of the stone slabs covered with pillows and pads collected from garage and rummage sales. Kids can play in a toy section under the watchful eyes of their parents. And all can help themselves to bug spray from bottles on a table.
The series is a favorite of the Tongue Family Band, a Celtic group made up of Steve and Amy Tongue on guitar and flute, and their daughters Abby, 18, Lara, 16, and Emma, 13, on fiddle, cello and bodhran.
"Summer can be really busy so we are selective about where we want to perform," said Steve, who sits down with the family each year to hammer out its performance schedule. "When we sat down this year and Crescent Woods came up, we said, 'That's a no-brainer — we're going back there.'"
Tongue said the amphitheater's shape carries sound nicely without an elaborate amplification system. And it's size — it seats about 150 people — gives the space a café feel. That's especially important when it comes to acoustic Celtic music and Irish step dancing, both of which trace their roots back to family kitchens.
"A lot of times when you play outdoors, you give up some of that intimacy," he said. "But I think the great thing about Crescent Woods is it's an outdoor setting but you feel connected to the audience. And I think they feel connected to you because they are so close."
The band returns to the amphitheater on Aug. 3. But first, Aged to Perfection and Mary Sue Wilkinson take to the stage with their Reader's Theatre, featuring seniors from the Old Town Playhouse, and Young At Heart Music, music woven together especially for seniors and children.
The show begins at 7:30 p.m. today; the suggested donation is $10 for adults and $5 for children 21 and under.
Besides the Tongue Family Band, upcoming acts include Sashay and Front Street Jazz Band on July 27, and Parallel – formerly Sisters with Class – on Aug. 10.
Neal said the series is a way to increase visibility and to fund small projects. A few years ago a portion of the proceeds was donated to the Cherryland Humane Society, where church volunteers walk dogs several days a week.
She said the series seems to grow every year, even attracting out-of-towners.
"This is a great outreach and a great gift to the community," said Tongue. "It's kind of a best-kept secret."

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Paris, July 1942: Sarah, a ten year-old girl, is brutally arrested with her family by the French police in the Vel dHiv roundup, but not before she locks her younger brother in a cupboard in the family's apartment, thinking that she will be back within a few hours.
Paris, May 2002: On Vel dHivs 60th anniversary, journalist Julia Jarmond is asked to write an article about this black day in France's past. Through her contemporary investigation, she stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden family secrets that connect her to Sarah. Julia finds herself compelled to retrace the girl's ordeal, from that terrible term in the Vel d'Hiv', to the camps, and beyond. As she probes into Sarah's past, she begins to question her own place in France, and to reevaluate her marriage and her life.
Tatiana de Rosnay offers us a brilliantly subtle, compelling portrait of France under occupation and reveals the taboos and silence that surround this painful episode.
Soon to be a major motion picture!
Chapter One
Paris, July 1942
The girl was the first to hear the loud pounding on the door. Her room was closest to the entrance of the apartment. At first, dazed with sleep, she thought it was her father, coming up from his hiding place in the cellar. Hed forgotten his keys, and was impatient because nobody had heard his first, timid knock. But then came the voices, strong and brutal in the silence of the night. Nothing to do with her father. Police! Open up! Now!
The pounding took up again, louder. It echoed to the marrow of her bones. Her younger brother, asleep in the next bed, stirred. Police! Open up! Open up! What time was it? She peered through the curtains. It was still dark outside.

Meijer is taking steps to locate a store on Terre Haute's east side, at the northeast corner of New Margaret Drive and Indiana 46/U.S. 40, a Meijer spokesman said Thursday.
"I can confirm we do have a site under contract," said Frank Guglielmi, Meijer spokesman. "We are interested in Terre Haute."
Meijer is a regional supercenter chain headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich. It has more than 200 stores, with more than half in Michigan. It has more than 20 stores in Indiana, including two that opened this year in Warsaw and Portage.
The supercenters combine groceries and department store goods in the same facility. A full-size supercenter has about 190,000 square feet.
On Nov. 6, the Area Plan Commission will consider a rezoning for a small portion of the property a Meijer would occupy. It also will consider a subdivision application
The rezoning, from open space (O-1) to a commercial zoning (C-3), also would have to be approved by the Terre Haute City Council.
Meijer is now doing site planning and "due diligence," which involves working with governmental agencies, Guglielmi said. "We're working to see if we can make a store happen."
Once that is done, "We purchase property, and normally once we purchase property, we begin building a store," he said.
He did not have a timeline as to when that could happen in Terre Haute. Typically, groundbreakings occur in spring or summer.
"The earliest we would start construction would be 2014," Guglielmi said, and construction takes about a year. "We're very interested in the community. Indiana is an important state for us."
Meijer is a privately held, family-owned company, he said. "We're a very strong believer in philanthropic support to local communities."
Meijer donates more than 6 percent of net profit back to communities where its stores are located, he said.
Greg Gibson, who owns most of the property Meijer would purchase and is working to secure the rest, said he's been working with the regional chain for eight to 10 months. "We've put together a purchase agreement," he said.
He emphasized it's not yet a done deal.
But if it happens, and Meijer builds at the site, "I really think it will be a breakover project on the eastside," Gibson said. Two big box stores there, including Walmart, will help draw other development, he said.
The airport, redevelopment and city have worked together to provide infrastructure to the area, he said. "This wouldn't have happened if not for the things they've done."
Gibson owns 20 acres off Indiana 46 and has an option to secure an additional seven acres of farmland that Meijer would need for stormwater retention.
Gibson said he's optimistic about a Meijer store locating on the eastside. "I don't think they would push so quickly to jump government hoops if they didn't have an intent on building," he said.
He recently had two other business call him about locating in the area. A new Meijer store "will bring a lot of interest and it will be a great addition to the community."
Once the 641 bypass is completed, "It all points to that area being the growth area for Terre Haute," Gibson said.
Darren Maher, acting director of the area planning department, said that having another major anchor store such as Meijer would help spur more development in that area.
On Nov. 6, the Area Plan Commission will consider both the subdivision application and rezoning.
The rezoning request will then be brought before the City Council in a special call meeting at 5:55 p.m. Nov. 14. The council could then vote on it that night during its 6 p.m. regular meeting. The council's November sunshine meeting was previously canceled.
The goal, if everything goes smoothly, "is to have everything ready to where Meijer could start building a store" early next year, if it chose, Maher said.

Cooking fish on the bone gives more it more flavour and removing the fillets is very straightforward.
- Place the fish on its side.
- Make cut behind the head that goes down to the spine. Make a similar cut before the tail. (There's no need to cut the head and tail off completely.)
- Make a horizontal cut into the side of the fish, following the line of the spine from head to tail. This should separate the side of the fish into two portions, top and bottom.
- Use your knife slide the top fillet up and off the bones.
- Push the bottom fillet downwards off the bones.
- Make a cut through the spine near the tail then lift the spine and smaller bones out all in one piece. This will let you cut away the fillets from the other side of the fish.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSWork Nearly Complete On Hotel Renovations
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Dec. 27, 2013 8:53 PM EST
Updated: Dec. 27, 2013 11:17 PM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Kallie Cart) -- Work is nearly complete on a hotel in the heart of downtown Charleston.
The old Charleston House Hotel is the backdrop to Haddad Riverfront Park and the final piece of the renovation puzzle in that area.
It was a top to bottom renovation at the old Charleston House Holiday Inn.
"Every inch of the hotel, even the silverware in the hotel - everything is new," front office manager Barb Stover said.
And with new renovations to Haddad Riverfront Park, the hotel, which will soon have a new name, A four Points by Sheraton, finally fits in.
No room went untouched, from a new entryway, new restaurant and lounge area, a new indoor pool, all 176 rooms were renovated and the grand ballroom is now grand again.
Sue Cerullo, who is at the front of the House, remembers the Charleston House's glory days. She worked there for 40 years, retired and is now back working in the renovated space. She said it is once again the place to be.
"It is great," she said. "It is so different and everything is new."
The renovation is expected to be complete in about two weeks, and the hotel will officially become A Four Points by Sheraton on Jan. 16.
There is also a plan to develop retail space around the hotel, and there are eight condos going in on the top two floors. Those are not completed yet, but there is said to be a lot of interest in them.

Original recipe yields 8 quarts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place cranberries in a large saucepan and pour water over them. Simmer on low heat until cranberries begin to split. Remove from heat and pour into a large ovenproof baking dish.
- To cranberries add apples, raisins, gooseberries, cherries, brandy, lemon rind, orange rind, vinegar, sugar, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice. Stir this mixture thoroughly and cover dish.
- Place dish in preheated oven. Heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Sterilize enough canning jars and lids to fit all mincemeat.
- Place a wire rack in the bottom of a large stock pot and fill halfway with water. Bring water to a rolling boil.
- Pack mincemeat into sterilized jars, ensuring that there are no spaces or air bubbles. Fill jars all the way to the top and screw on lids. Carefully lower jars into boiling water using a holder. Make sure jars have at least 2 inches of space between them. Pour more boiling water over jars if necessary, so that they are covered by 2 inches of water. Cover pot and process for 30 minutes.
- Carefully lift jars out of water using a holder, and place on a wooden or cloth-covered surface, at least 2 inches apart. Allow to cool, then check seal by pressing on jar lid. A properly sealed lid will not move up or down at all. Mincemeat should be aged for 2 or 3 months before using.

This is my recipe and it was altered by the allrecipes staff. What you actually do is cook all these ingredients on the stove top and then add them to sterilized canning jars. Then the easiest way to can is to put these in quart jars, preheat oven at 170 and let cook for 2 hours and then turn off oven and open doors and let cool naturally. As the jars cool they will pop and seal. Very amazing. Much simpler than a water bath and just as safe. You can only use this for fruit or tomatoes, not meat or vegetables. Remember if the jars don't pop they aren't sealed and you will have to toss that jar. However, I have yet to have this happen. They always seal. Enjoy
This is fantastic! Wonderful taste! If you make it in a crock pot though, remember to cut down on the water a little, as mine came out just a little bit runny. That won't stop us from enjoying this great pie though! I strained all the canned items before including them. Once it was cured I baked it in a pie shell for 30 minutes at 350 F. Don't let the idea of canning scare you away from a good recipe. All you have to do to sterilize your jars is wash them in the dishwasher, then be sure not to touch the insides with anything that isn't sterile. There are a lot of good resources on the web that can help you.
This was fabulous! I made 1 pie right away and can't wait to taste it in a couple of months after it ages. It was like a combination of cranberry and mincemeat, so I made a crumb topping for the top. The recipe made 5 full quart sized jars and most of a sixth (which I then used right away). I will be giving it away as gifts for the Holidays.

The man arrested for the stabbing death of his wife and another man in Parkville Sunday morning may have made comments about marital troubles on Facebook in the days leading up to the killings.
Beginning in late October, a man using the same name as the man arrested and charged in the crime—Bryant Walls—posted to Facebook complaining of marital trouble. Police have said since Walls turned himself in that domestic issues were a possible motive in the killings.
A police spokeswoman could not immediately confirm the messages were written by Walls, 45, of the 300 block of Pulaski Highway in Joppa.
"We can't confirm that it's his page until we get the results of the review from Facebook," Batton said.
"[The comments] did not contribute to his arrest however, as part of the ongoing investigation, detectives...will be reviewing comments on a Facebook page," said Cpl. Cathleen Batton, a police spokeswoman.
Walls turned himself in at the scene when police arrived early Sunday morning to investigate, according to police reports on the incident.

NEW YORK — Rafael Nadal made quick work of his second-round opponent Thursday night at the U.S. Open, taking the final 12 games in his 6-2, 6-1, 6-0 victory over qualifier Rogerio Dutra Silva.
Second-seeded Nadal improved to 17-0 on hard courts this year. He has lost 11 games in his first two matches at Flushing Meadows.
Dutra Silva made it into the main draw by winning a third-set tiebreaker in his final qualifying match. He saved seven match points and took a 12-10 fifth-set tiebreaker in the first round against Vasek Pospisil.
The Brazilian fought Nadal for a brief time and even had a break point in the second game of the second set.
But Nadal saved the break point, then closed out the first of the dozen straight games he won to close the match.
Only a few spots separate them in the seedings. Still, the considerable gulf between No. 1 Serena Williams and No. 4 Sara Errani was hard to ignore in their back-to-back matches Thursday at the U.S. Open.
Williams, seeking her 17th Grand Slam title and second straight at Flushing Meadows, brushed off an ungainly slide onto her backside en route to a typically easy second-round victory, 6-3, 6-0 over Galina Voskoboeva in half-full Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Barely worth talking about by Williams' standards: "I'll have to think about it and see what I can do better, but it was OK," she said.
Only an hour before on the same court, a much different scene: Errani imploded in a 6-3, 6-1 loss to her Italian teammate, 83rd-ranked Flavia Pennetta. Then, with tears welling in her eyes, Errani conceded that she's struggling to handle her high ranking and the high expectations that have come with that.
"My problem isn't that I lost. I've lost a million times in my life," Errani said. "My problem is trying to find the desire to fight and be on the court ready to fight. For a few weeks, I haven't felt like I wanted to be on the court. That's the problem."
That concession was the most unexpected development on Day 4 of the U.S. Open, where the tournament got back on track after a rainy Wednesday that postponed eight women's matches.
Also Thursday:
— No. 4 seed David Ferrer overcame an error-filled second-set tiebreaker to top Roberto Bautista Agut 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-2.
—Second-seeded Victoria Azarenka defeated Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada 6-3, 6-1.

Warming of the oceans under climate change is resulting in an expansion of low-oxygen zones, negatively impacting marine life such as groundfish off the B.C. coast.
"Pacific groundfish distributions have changed in recent years," said Lisa Levin, a marine scientist with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California. "They're moving shallower and further northward in response to declining oxygen levels."
Predictions are that these fish will lose 50 per cent of their depth range by 2050, she said, citing research by Canada's federal fisheries department. "They're losing their habitat and it's significant."
Levin, speaking Friday in Vancouver at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said human activities such as oil and gas extraction, commercial trawling, and mining can exacerbate the effects of global warming and must be carefully managed.
She said warming of the oceans is leading to an expansion of mid-water, low-oxygen bands found on the "continental margins," areas that extend more than 150,000 kilometres around the edges of continents.
"We call it habitat compression," she said, noting fish affected could fall victim to overfishing.
Biodiversity is low in these low-oxygen bands, which are typified in part by poor water circulation. Warm water holds less oxygen than cold water; warming of the oceans also results in less upwelling.
Research also shows that some species found near the ocean surface are likely to expand their range into deeper water as the oceans warm and that these species are capable of withstanding greater water pressure.

Suicide remains a problem without a clear solution in both the active-duty and veterans communities.
After another rise in military suicides last year, the armed services last week outlined to Congress their efforts to reverse the trend and evaluate their prevention programs.
The Army set a record last year with 324 suicides. That after 183 active-duty Army soldiers took their lives in 2011, 38 more than the 2010 mark of 145. The Marine Corps, with 32 suicides last year, completes a second straight year of declining members after a peak of 52 suicides in 2010.
The Air Force counted 41 suicides though last year, down from 54 in 2012. The Navy has recorded 46 suicides, up from 39 last year.
Attention has turned to a particularly disturbing cause for suicide among service members – hazing. Both the Army and the Marine Corps are dealing with cases of suspected suicide in which fellow service members face charges related to mistreatment of the victim. Sadly. reported investigations show leaders are given a "slap on the wrist", despite cruel, abusive and oppressive treatment.
Researchers estimate that military veterans try to commit suicide at a rate of 18 per day, though no official statistics are kept. Illness is attributed to these suicide attempts as veterans get older. Also, the most recent veterans of post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury are being addressed by the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs who continue to struggle with solutions.
The Pentagon's relatively new Defense Suicide Prevention Office, which opened in 2011, is under review. By the end of September 2013, a comprehensive inventory of all service's programs will identify gaps and overlaps. Once identified, the office will begin to streamline and unify what is offered across the services.
Most of the suicides are among junior enlisted soldiers, though the number of suicides by non-commissioned officers has increased over each of the last three years. The Army is working on changing its culture, which has been long over due for the need of mental health care.
The service claims to have made a dent in the stigma over recent years, pointing to survey results showing that the percentage of enlisted soldiers who thought seeking mental health care would harm their career dropped significantly from 2010 to 2012. All the service's recognize the growing problem and are dedicated to the continued efforts to slow this epidemic down.
Speak to you again next week.
Jim Vines is commander of AmVets Post 133.
