The Daily Star
---- — Some like it hot, some not.
Chili in a variety of concoctions will be the focus of a fundraising culinary contest next month for the Community Arts Network of Oneonta.
Organizers are seeking backers for the ninth annual Chili Bowl and arranging to have 200 individually made ceramic bowls for guests to purchase and use to hold samples of chili prepared by local restaurant chefs.
"It's going to be fun,'' event co-chairwoman Kellie Place said Thursday.
The 2013 Chili Bowl will be at CANO's Wilber Mansion at 11 Ford Ave. from noon to 4 p.m. Feb. 3, the same day as football's Super Bowl 47.
Chili Bowl organizers are drawing on the resources and creativity found at the recently refurbished and re-opened Carriage House behind the Wilber Mansion.
On Thursday, some Chili Bowl enthusiasts interested in promoting the festival as a community event met in the Carriage House, where some unfinished bowls were displayed on a table in the ceramics studio.
Doug Hallberg, a founder of the Carriage House Art Studio, said he hopes to have 200 bowls ready to sell as serving bowls. CHAS opened last year to revive arts education and create opportunities for artists to teach.
Place said that CANO board President Raina D'Amico has purchased 40 bowls by local artist and teacher Elizabeth Nields to donate to the fundraiser.
Crews from the Oneonta Fire Department will judge the chili concoctions, Place said. Guests will be able to visit the recently refurbished Carriage House Art Studio, where they may pick up a bowl, she said, and then walk across the driveway to the Wilber Mansion, where the chili testing will be held.
Cindy Seward of Milford, who previously studied ceramics, contacted Hallberg last month about helping with the bowl project, and she has worked on two pieces. Seward said she has been inspired by the MacKenzie-Childs decorative style, which includes stripes, squares and dots, in a variety of colors.
"It's something a little different,'' she said. On Thursday, she began painting black and white squares on a small ceramic crock, which, she said, she may purchase.
Rachel Lutz Jessup, vice chairwoman of Main Street Oneonta, said she is "very excited'' about the Carriage House and the arts education opportunities it offers. Her son, Andrew Lutz, 10, already has made a mug in a ceramics class there, she said, and she hopes to make a bowl for the chili fundraiser.
Place is joined in organizing the Chili Bowl by CANO board member Kim Condon-Brake and Dennis Walrath, an intern from the State University College at Oneonta. The goal is to raise $10,000 to help with restoration work at Wilber Mansion and arts education and scholarship funding, they said. Contributing sponsors are being sought starting at the $10 "sweet'' level, organizers said, and rising through "mild, medium and hot'' donation levels.
"We really count on the community coming together to support the event,'' Condon-Brake said.
During the past eight year, the culinary contest has had 120 contenders and served chili in more than 2,500 hand-crafted bowls.
There need be no contest between the Chili Bowl and the Super Bowl 47 as game kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. Feb. 3.

Stink bugs are an insect that I had yet to hear anyone defend, until I read .
The North American debut of brown marmorated stink bugs (Halyomorpha halys) was first documented in Allentown, back in 1998. Since then, their popularity has spread to at least 36 states. Without causing any significant human illness, injury or hunger, they have stimulated a vibrant industry aimed at thwarting them. -Edwards writes
Edwards argues that the stink bug has spurred part of the economy as people try to remove the insects from their homes and gardens.
At the beginning of May, Safer Brand, a Lancaster County company, introduced a new product called the Stink Bug Magnet that they claim "offers an effective solution to removing a stink bug problem." That's just the latest in plenty of products with similar intentions, and a quick online search turns up no reviews for this new product.
Edwards suggests tackling the stink bug issue head on with a dustpan and brush and better sealing your windows and doors.
Are you happy to watch the stink bug as another interesting part of the wildlife? Do you see the stink bug as an issue? Do you have tips to getting rid of stink bugs in your home or garden?

CLARKSVILLE — The Clarksville Town Council discussed altering the town's zoning ordinance at a Monday work session to waive fees for permits for the construction of municipal structures.
"We kind of think it's silly to assess ... fees for permits for our own self," said Council Vice President Paul Kraft. "Taking it from one pocket and putting it in the other is kind of silly."
The Clarksville Plan Commission will take up the issue at a meeting tonight, April 3. The issue came up at the work session because the town is preparing for the construction of a new $25 million wastewater treatment plant.
"The fee on the wastewater treatment plant ... would be something like $120,000," Councilman and plan commission member John Gilkey said. "Now, the contractor would build that fee into the cost of the project. The town would then have to include that cost in the amount of the loan, the bond issue that we're floating to build the project and them pay interest on it."
The town is also looking at modifying its zoning ordinance to allow for municipal structures in any zoning classification, Gilkey said.
"Right now, the wastewater treatment plant is a nonconforming use in that particular zone," He said. "By making that change, being a municipal structure, it would be allowed in any existing zoning classification once the town council deems it necessary as a municipal structure."
On the same day that State Sen. Ron Grooms, R-Jeffersonville, honored Clarksville High School basketball standout Chuck Franz for being nominated into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, the Clarksville Town Council declared April 1, 2013, Chuck Franz Day during its regular meeting Monday.
Franz helped the Generals earn its first sectional championship during the 1977-78 season and led the team to a second championship the following year. Franz also was a member of the 1981 Indiana University team that won the NCAA National Championship.
The council unanimously approved a one-year, $3,600 sponsorship deal with Southern Indiana Fitness Source Magazine. Fitness Source is a publication of the News and Tribune.

History of IP at UNH Law
Over 35 Years of Innovative IP Education and Programs
Many have asked how a small law school in New Hampshire can compete with other top-ranked schools, such as the University of California-Berkeley, Stanford, and George Washington University, especially considering the resources that those schools command. A large part of the answer is the unique history that has made the Franklin Pierce Center for IP a pioneering force in providing innovative IP education.
More than 35 years ago, Robert Rines, a patent attorney and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) had a dream of a MIT School of Law, where the focus would be on the interface of law and science as well as on training patent lawyers with a practice-based approach. What was intended as the "MIT North Campus" in New Hampshire was not to be, as a change of administration at MIT resulted in a decision not to pursue building a law school.
Rines was determined to see his dream come true, and Franklin Pierce Law Center was founded as an independent law school (which, since 2010, has been affiliated with the University of New Hampshire and was renamed the University of New Hampshire School of Law). In addition to being a second-generation patent lawyer, Rines was a wealthy inventor, holding nearly 100 patents. His spirit of entrepreneurship has for over three decades driven UNH Law to be an innovator in practice-driven intellectual property education, always rated near the top of the list of laws schools with intellectual property programs, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report.
The First Patent Practice Program in the United States
As a successful patent lawyer, Rines saw that few starting lawyers knew how to draft and prosecute patents. The Franklin Pierce Law Center was founded with the goal of graduating well-educated IP lawyers with solid practice-based skills. Only two schools taught patent law in any meaningful way before the founding of the Franklin Pierce Law Center, and neither taught patent prosecution.
To address this issue, Rines collected a nationally unique team of patent lawyers who would present students with a well-rounded patent prosecution education. The IP patent faculty team at that time included a law firm patent lawyer, a university/corporate patent lawyer and a former patent examiner from the USPTO. This team set up the patent law and practice curriculum, starting with Patent Law and Practice I & II, which remain the school's backbone patent prosecution courses to this day.
The First Program for Global Intellectual Property Professionals
From the beginning, it was Rines' vision that Franklin Pierce Law Center would be focused on promoting IP as an engine of global innovation, growth and public interest. Professionals from both developed and developing nations were welcomed at Franklin Pierce Law Center for training and the opportunity to learn from others on the cutting edge of international IP practice and policy.
A decade after Franklin Pierce Law Center was founded, these early activities were organized into the first interdisciplinary IP degree in the nation, the Master of Intellectual Property Program (M.I.P.). This one-year program was designed to train IP professionals from around the globe, many of whom went on to start some of the first national government IP offices, law practices and NGOs. All told, the Franklin Pierce Center for IP has trained professionals working in more than 80 countries.
The reach of the Franklin Pierce Center for IP extends far beyond New Hamsphire: Our professors have traveled the world teaching and presenting in dozens of countries to countless different groups, from other universities to professional associations and NGOs. One result of this decades of outreach is that many of our alumni are now teaching the next generation of IP professionals in their home countries.
The First Program to Create an Expanded IP Curriculum
When Franklin Pierce Law Center began, intellectual property was limited to patent law. Since the Franklin Pierce Law Center team included a university/corporate IP counsel, as well as an expert in Trade Regulation, the core patent curriculum steadily grew to include the full range of what is now recognized as IP, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition, as well as many other practice areas that intersect with IP. Today, UNH Law integrates an IP perspective throughout the curriculum, a concept we've termed "IP through and through." Thus, our students learn IP throughout their law studies, including in such courses as agriculture law, commerce & technology, bankruptcy, and taxation.
The Franklin Pierce Center for IP evaluates its IP curriculum each year, adding and dropping courses to meet the needs of students and global IP professionals. Despite any year-to-year changes, a few key hallmarks of our IP curriculum remain constant, such as:
- Offering a curriculum both broad and deep, with dozens of up-to-date courses
- Recognizing the global nature of IP by offering many international and comparative courses
- Recognizing the value of practice-based education, including opportunities for externships and clinical work
- Recognizing the interdisciplinary nature of IP by offering courses at the intersection of IP and fields, such as business, management, science, technology, economics, and public interest
- Recognizing the value of scholarship by offering opportunities for IP students to work on journals or produce their own original work
The First IP Management Courses
Since the "founding fathers" of IP at UNH Law included patent law firm lawyers, corporate counsel, and university counsel, we were the first to offer courses on IP management. These courses were initially taught by Professors Robert Rines and Robert Shaw and expanded with the addition of Professors Homer Blair and Karl Jorda. These law courses offer students the opportunity to master what is known as the "IP life cycle":
- Identifying IP and intellectual capital
- Creating IP
- Branding IP
- Protecting IP
- Managing IP
- Valuing IP
- Creating new markets for IP
- Monetizing IP
- Transferring IP
- Financing IP
- Securitizing IP
- Taxation of IP
Innovative IP Clinics Serving Live Clients
Since the Franklin Pierce Law Center was founded, it has continuously offered IP clinics, in which students work with IP professors on real-world issues, ranging from patent searching and prosecution to technology transfer and business integration.
These clinics operated long before the legal profession and other educators put any value on practical skills training. That changed when the McCrate Report was issued in l992, which conceptualized law training as an educational continuum involving specific responsibilities on the part of both law schools and the practicing profession. The McCrate Report identified 10 basic lawyer skills and four fundamental values it recommended legal education should be primarily responsible for teaching. As a result, other law schools began to offer the type of clinical education that we had been pioneering for years.

Getting immersed in the community and fostering a community atmosphere among customers aids a retailer's bottom line, whether the business is small and locally owned or a large global chain, according to research co-authored by a University of Alabama in Huntsville associate professor of marketing.
The lead article in the summer issue of the Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice demonstrates how retailers benefit from employment of four social functions associated with development of community - socialization, mutual support, social participation and social control. ("The Development of Core Retailer Community Functions"; Todd J. Arnold, Elten Briggs, Timothy D. Landry, Tracy Suter; Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice, Vol. 21, No. 3, Summer 2013) And fostering community is a huge chunk of the retail equation.
Retailers who want to reap the benefits of heightened loyalty and attract consumers who don't mind paying a bit more should actively build those kinds of community connections with their customers, according to Dr. Tim Landry of UAH's College of Business Administration.
"In these types of studies we can show that as much as 40 percent of retailers' support is due to these sociological factors," said Dr. Landry. "You're willing to pay more at a retailer if they are actively supporting the community."
Larger retailers seem to have adopted community-building practices more quickly than the small stores, which would appear to have greater need for the benefits of community because they are at a disadvantage to larger stores in terms of the traditional marketing strategies of product, price, place and promotion.
"If you are going to be local, you have got to understand what it is to be local," said Dr. Landry. "But I see increasingly that it's the big guys who understand this, not the little guys."
Dr. Landry and his collaborators surveyed over 200 non-student adult respondents in a large Midwestern city. They asked respondents to report on how a favorite retailer they chose, one they felt "connected" to, rated on the four community social functions, using a seven-point Likert scale that ranged from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Researchers probed how much each function affected the respondents' likelihood to be loyal to that store and to pay more for products.
They found that business practices that encourage socialization by appreciating the core values and norms of a target group and making sure those are reflected in products and services are strongly influential in generating both loyalty and willingness to pay more.

Tips for Communicating Well at Work
Why in-person communication is still vital in the digital era.
Asking for help. Saying goodbye. Requesting feedback. They're all basic communication skills, yet employees often fail miserably when it comes to using them, says communications expert Jodi Glickman.
First a Peace Corps volunteer, then an investment banker, Glickman today becomes an author with the release of her first book, Great on the Job. The story of what to say and how to say it, the book is full of tips for communicating in the workplace, strategies Glickman teaches to business students around the country.
U.S. News asked Glickman to share some of that advice with our readers. Excerpts:
Why write a book about personal communication when online networking is all the rage?
Even though online networking is all the rage, business still is and always will be a personal thing. I wrote this book because I believe that more than ever, face-to-face, one-on-one conversation is the key to success at work. You will never close a deal via email. You will never hire someone via video or email.
I think of technical proficiency in whatever your job is as your baseline of competency. Then, in order to be a star performer, you need to be able to talk to people. You need to be able to sell your ideas, you need to be able to build consensus, you need to build rapport and trust with people. And all of that happens from one-on-one personal dialogue.
[See 10 Tips for Negotiating a Raise.]
What are the most common mistakes you see people make when it comes to communicating at work?
Junior people [are often] afraid to ask for or get the help they need … If you're working on something and you either can't finish it because of time constraints or because you don't have the appropriate resources or know-how, you need to fix that problem … Say to your manager, "Look, I'm really excited about this project, I'm new at working on it, I want to produce a stellar product for you. Here's what I need to get the job done well" ... Those conversations don't happen as often as they need to.
You write about the importance of mastering the hello and goodbye. Are you saying a simple "Good morning" doesn't cut it?
It may, in certain situations … When you start a phone conversation with someone, the way you start the call is your introduction, your purpose for the call, and the key question. And the key question is, "Do you have a minute to speak?" I'm sure you've received a call from someone when they started talking and you weren't expecting their call or ready for their call, you maybe didn't want to speak to them, and all of the sudden you're thinking, Oh my gosh, how do I get off the phone?
Being generous when you begin a conversation with someone is giving them an out. [Ask], "Is this a good time to speak?" [Or] "Do you have a few minutes?" If they don't, [say,] "When is a good time for us to catch up?"
And on the goodbye, the goodbye is not an ending. It's a beginning. It's all about keeping that door open for future conversation … [When] you finish a conversation, you say, thank you, [and] you normally thank them for their help. If they haven't been helpful … you thank them for their time, no matter what.
How do you keep the door open?
Keeping the door open is [saying], "Thanks so much, it was great speaking with you. I look forward to keeping in touch. Would it be okay if I shot you my contact details?" [Or] "Please let me know if you have any additional questions for me" or "I may reach out to you and have some follow-up questions" … It's all about, what's the next step?
[See Treat Your Career Like Your Smartphone.]
When you train business students, what are some of the tips you give them?
When you need help halfway through a project, I always want you to take a stand and have an opinion on the right course of action. It's important to ask for help. There's a caveat, however. If you're asking for help on something you're working on, I want you to come to me and tell me, "Jodi, Here's where I am with this project. Here's what I think the right course of action is, and I want to get your thoughts on whether or not I'm going in the right direction."

Ventura County Star
The City of Ventura agreed to settle a lawsuit filed against police officers who allegedly severely beat a man while officers were searching for a stolen iPad last year.
In a press release issued late Tuesday evening, the city agreed to settle the federal civil rights lawsuit filed by Denny D. Fields for $285,000, according to Assistant Chief of Police Quinn Fenwick.
"While this is a significant amount of money, the city's Risk Manager Ellis Green notes that the potential exposure to the city and its taxpayers was considerably more, as a federal civil rights case can result in an award of hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney's fees in addition to compensatory damages, regardless of any contributory fault on the part of the claimant," Fenwick stated.
Adding that the police department is subjected to very few civil rights lawsuits like the one filed by Fields.
"Nevertheless, the Department has taken this matter very seriously, thoroughly reviewing its policies and procedures as well as the conduct of its officers, and using the incident to identify and implement training procedures in order to ensure the continued trust in the Department by the public it serves," Fenwick stated.
Adding that the police department is subjected to very few civil rights lawsuits like the one filed by Fields.
"Nevertheless, the Department has taken this matter very seriously, thoroughly reviewing its policies and procedures as well as the conduct of its officers, and using the incident to identify and implement training procedures in order to ensure the continued trust in the Department by the public it serves," Fenwick stated.
"The incident with Mr. Fields involved the City's officers reacting to a volatile, violent and dynamic situation," according to Fenwick.
He said the police department would decline further comment on this matter.
In an interview, Fields' lawyer Brian Vogel said he had not read the press release so he couldn't make specific comments.
"I look forward to seeing real changes in the police's policies, procedures and tactics to ensure that the constitutional rights of our citizens aren't violated," Vogel said.
Fields alleged in the civil rights lawsuit that four or five officers, including Craig Kelly and Joel Kline, knocked on the door of his girlfriend's duplex on Dec. 25, 2011, saying a GPS signal indicated a stolen iPad was inside the residence.
Alethia Alvarado, Fields' girlfriend and the mother of his children, was also named as a plaintiff.
Vogel claims that officers searched Alvardo's duplex where the incident happened was searched by police without a search warrant and while she was away.
Fenwick, stated in the press release that a residential burglary was reported on Dec. 22, 2011 and three days later, officers received information that one of the items stolen was at a particular residence in the city.
Officers went to that residence where they encountered Fields, and following brief questioning, Fields started to close the door on the officers and a physical altercation ensued which resulted in Fields and two of the officers being injured, Fenwick stated.
But Vogel had said that Fields told the officers that he was there waiting for his children so he could give them Christmas presents. One officer accused him of "delaying our investigation," the lawsuit stated. Fields denied being on parole or probation.
Vogel had said his client showed them his driver's license. Fields denied that he knew anything about the iPad, Vogel had said. As Fields was trying to call his lawyer, Vogel had said the officers then rushed inside, beat and used a Taser on Fields, and allowed a police dog to bite him.
Alvarado's house was searched by police without a warrant and officers didn't find the stolen iPad inside the residence, Vogel had said.
Fields was taken to the hospital where an officer identified as "Officer Henderson" drove Fields to an emergency room, cursed at him and accused him of breaking an officer's hand. Fields denied the allegation, saying the officer's hand probably was broken when he struck Fields in the face with his fist, according to Vogel.
According to the lawsuit, a doctor told an unnamed detective who was taking photographs of Fields' injuries that Fields needed a CAT scan, the lawsuit states. The detective refused to wait and spent at least five more minutes questioning Fields. Another officer told a nurse at the emergency room that Fields' wasn't bitten and to "just wipe it and it would be fine." But the ER nurse, however, insisted that it was a dog bite and that the wound needed stitches
Fields, of Ventura, was arrested on suspicion of mayhem on Dec. 25, 2011. The District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute him two days later, citing insufficient evidence, the lawsuit states.
Shortly before his release from jail, Fields was taken to a conference room, where he met with Fenwick and Green, according to the 52-page lawsuit filed Aug. 6.
Fenwick and Green apologized to Fields for the incident and offered him $500 for each day he was in jail, an additional $5,000 and Christmas presents for his children, Vogel had stated.
The lawsuit states that Fenwick allegedly mentioned Fields' 2010 arrest for possessing drugs for sale and stated: "What I would like to do right now is clear what happened on Christmas. Even though one of our officers got hurt, we are willing to forget about this. We won't file against you if you don't file against us basically as of right now, I'd like to know what we can do to make your Christmas better."

Pull an Aaron Rodgers, Ryan, and just let it inspire you.
The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Braun should be MVP finalist tonight
In a new format, the annual Baseball Writers Association of America individual awards for both leagues will be announced on MLB Network telecasts over four nights next week.
To set the stage for those awards, MLB Network will announce the five finalists for most valuable player in each league today on a show at 5 p.m. CST. The three finalists for rookie of the year, manager of the year and Cy Young Award will also be announced for both leagues. The MVP Award has five finalists because 10 names are voted for on that ballot while only five are on the ballot for Cy Young and three each for rookie of the year and manager of the year.
Based on his prolific 2012 season, Brewers leftfielder Ryan Braun should be among the top five vote-getters for MVP. The unknown is how many voters -- there are two in each NL city -- penalized Braun for the positive drug test of last October for high testosterone. That process was supposed to be secret and because Braun won his appeal it never would have been revealed if not leaked to the media. But it did get out and there has been all kinds of discussion of how it would have hurt Braun in the voting, which took place after the regular season ended, even though the test was done last year.
As I wrote from the World Series, that drug saga apparently hurt Braun in the balloting for the Hank Aaron Award, which is supposed to go to the top offensive performer in each league. Across the board, that was definitely Braun in the NL but instead the award when to San Francisco's Buster Posey, who many expect to claim the MVP Award as well. The Aaron award was voted on by a panel of Hall of Famers as well as fans online.
Braun was the only player in the NL to finish in the top four in eight primary offensive categories. He was first with 41 home runs, 108 runs scored and a .987 OPS (on-base plus slugging). Braun was second with 112 runs batted in, 191 hits and a .595 slugging percentage, third with a .319 batting average and fourth with a .391 on-base percentage.
In the Players Choice Awards earlier this week, which is voted on exclusively by the players, Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutcheon was voted the most outstanding player in the NL. Again, if you check the numbers, you will see that Braun had a better season across the board.
It's all fodder for plenty of discussion, and will continue to be so next week when the BBWAA voting is revealed. If Posey were to beat Braun, the reigning NL MVP, in a close vote, there probably wouldn't be much said about it. If Braun is far off the pace, however, it would be apparent that some voters had agendas.
It's going to be interesting, for sure.
Here is my guess for the five finalists: Braun, Posey, McCutchen, St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina and St. Louis outfielder Carlos Beltran. My dark horse is Washington's Adam LaRoche.

I don't think he can win, so I hope he isn't a finalist. The Hank Aaron Award vote and the PCA probably can't be considered as relevant, since they didn't include the BBWAA in the voting. But I believe you've reported before that other writers have told you that they will not vote for Braun at all, which seems to me means that he would be unable to win.
Pull an Aaron Rodgers, Ryan, and just let it inspire you.Hide replies
I would like to think your just an old man that is retired and not much to do. you comment on every single blog about basically every major sport on this website. Ill admit I look at the site every day but i dont waste my time commenting until something like this strikes a nerve out of me. theres alot of people like you out there but its every story, every sport, every blog, every update from the writers....
What is wrong with being an old man?
Beats the alternative.
You aren't my wife, are you?
Eddie, for what it's worth, I really enjoy your perspective and have never seen you say anything outlandish just to get a rise out of people. You appear to be even-keeled, mild mannered and educated. All are welcome traits to a message board that is routinely bombarded with wild and whimsical comments from passers-by who have no regard or respect for other people's perspective.
Lighten up XLVChamps. I like Eddie and his posts.
Actually XLVCHAMPS, there are a lot of retired people on here that have nothing better to do but write on the blogs all day long. You must be new.
I disagree with XLVChamps. I love your insight and look forward to your posts. Keep 'em coming.Hide replies
I think he just created a new account to say that.
Posey and Braun put up pretty similar offensive seasons when you consider the ballparks they play in, especially this season as both parks pushed to the extremes. McCutchen is right there as well.
Braun .319/.391/.595/.987 159 OPS+ 162 wRC+ 7.9 fWAR
Posey .336/.408/.549/.957 172 OPS+ 162 wRC+ 8.0 fWAR
McCutchen .327/400/.553/.953 164 OPS+158 wRC+ 7.5 fWARHide replies
sadly enough so many people never look past the inflated batting average.
XLV didn't really express an opinion about Eddie, he just commented that Eddie always comments. Strange, anywho....
Braun should win MVP going away, it shouldn't even be close. Then again Romney should be President today too, so just because it's right doesn't mean it'll happen.Hide replies
He is, of course, correct. I love to hear myself talk. Always been a failing of mine. And I really do enjoy the conversations on here. I don't run into too many folks that care about sports as much as me.
Well, if Romney won, he wouldn't be president until next year. But I agree on your point about Braun.
Braun won't win MVP for the same reasons Romney won't be president. ...it's a public trust issue.
Did I actually hear somebody compare baseball to politics? I feel sorry for you.
Good article. In addition to the categories mentioned, Braun was first in total bases, and tied for first in extra base hits. The numbers indicate he is the best NL offensive player. Unfortunately he will not win for reasons mentioned. Hopefully this energizes him to perform even better next year.Hide replies
Whenever an award has to be voted on it is fixed.
It wood be a shock if Braun would win. It would be a bigger shock than if Weeks ever wins a gold glove.Hide replies
The award should be renamed "The NL MVP of a team that went to the playoffs". All of that started with Albert Pujols whining about not winning it one year.

The title attribute is used by SEOs to try to do anything to rank higher and more importantly as a method to describe to a disabled person what a link is about. But some people over use them. Take a look at the image below. You will notice I mouse over a title of a thread and a second later, the title attribute is activated, blocking the thread titles underneath it. If you click on the image below, it will show you my frustration in a QuickTime movie.
Title Attribute Causes Blindness

Rusty, Usually I totally respect your opinions, but this time you coudln't be more wrong. I love those title tags, especially at SEOChat so I can read the first few lines of the post and decide whether a further reading is worthwhile. I'd have to say that whatever is sacrificed in terms of reading below that space - forcing you to hover off the link - is more than made up by time saved from clicking on posts to read the whole thing.

Yea, but it does get in the way of seeing the post title under it. Of course this is my opinion, I am sure some will agree and some will disagree. I am not right or wrong, you are not right or wrong. Don't you just love tests like that? :)
01/13/2005 11:28 pm
Actually the title tag on VBulletin just reads off the first 200 characters (or so) of the first post. I dont think anyone can actually "customize" these tags in anyway. It is helpful at times to see what the initial post is about before clicking into the thread itself. I used to have the habit of scrolling my pointer over the titles as I read them but since this new "feature" I just leave my mouse alone at the top of the browser.
01/14/2005 02:13 am
Barry, You're right of course, it's just a matter of opinion. I just like it so much I was shocked to see that it was taking criticism rather than praise - it's one of those things I really miss when I visit SEW or some of the other forums.

Bryan's 2012 city and school board elections are now set, and unlike College Station, the Twin City to the north will have contested races in November.
Chuck Konderla is having to give up his city council Single Member District 3 seat because when the district lines were redrawn, his residence was in a new district. A special election will feature Greg Owens and Steve Ramirez.
For Single Member District 5, Art Hughes was unopposed three years ago when he first ran for the seat. This time, he faces a re-election challenge from former Navy Petty Officer Craig Regan.
Konderla will look to take a different seat on the council -- the At-Large Place 6 seat being vacated by Mike Southerland, who can't run again because of term limits. Konderla is opposed by former Bryan mayor Lloyd Joyce and Rafael Pena.
For the Bryan ISD school board, incumbent Kelli Levey will be unopposed for her Single Member District 4 seat.
Tommy Bosquez and Sylvester Smith will go head-to-head for the at-large seat on the board. That's being vacated by long-time board member Merrill Green, the former Bryan High Athletic Director and football coach whose name is on the stadium.

Ty Kiisel, Contributor
I write about small business issues like financing and marketing
You heard right.
Eighteen months from now Thierry Breton, CEO of Atos—one of the largest information technology companies in the world, plans to have eliminated email as a communication and collaboration medium within his company. "If people want to talk to me, call or send me a text message," said Breton. "Emails cannot replace the spoken word."
According to an article written by Peter Allen in the Daily Mail, Atos' nearly 80,000 employees in 42 countries will have stopped using email eighteen months from now and will have replaced it with social media tools, the telephone and face-to-face conversations. Should you read this and assume that Breton is a 30-something young maverick trying to make a statement, you'd be wrong. The 56-year old chief executive is the former French finance minister who believes that only 20 out of every 200 emails received by his staff every day turn out to be important.
"[E]mail is no longer the appropriate tool," said Breton. "It is time to think differently."
Breton cites a number of examples of how email wastes time including:
What's more "Mr. Breton pointed to a recent study by the business watchdog ORSE, which reads: Reading useless messages is terrible for concentration, as it takes 64 seconds to get back on the ball after doing so," writes Allen. "Poorly controlled, the e-mail can become a devastating tool."
Email is such an integrated and ubiquitous part of how most organizations get work done that I'm not sure completely eliminating it from our cadre of communication tools is practical, but I am very interested in Breton's implication that social media-like instant messaging has the same value as "the spoken word."
I'm a big fan of anything that will help teams collaborate more naturally—and social media tools have demonstrated they can do that. What's more, I don't think it's only younger members of the workforce who are seeing the benefit of a social media approach (as the 56-year old Breton demonstrates).
Writing for The Telegraph, Henry Samuel writes, "The younger generation have already all but scrapped the email, with only 11 percent of 11 to 19 year-olds using it, according to silicon.fr, and online social networking is now more popular than email and search."
Although I don't want to be a focus group of one, I find myself using (and often preferring) a text message or other social-media interaction to email for some communication. I have a number of friends and colleagues around the world with whom a text or Facebook message is our preferred way to interact.
"Companies must prepare for the new wave of usage and behavior," said Breton. I agree.
Thirty years ago, I would never have imagined how personal computers, smart phones and the Internet would have impacted my life. I must admit, I didn't take email seriously when I first started using it . Now, I probably spend more time using my smart phone for email or to text than as a telephone—I don't think I'm alone.
I agree with Mr. Breton, email is not the most efficient way for teams to collaborate. Everyone has experienced the email thread that gets lost or buried, the person that needed to be included on the thread that wasn't or the critical email that was accidentally deleted. The social media metaphor demonstrates a lot of promise as a vehicle for collaboration (provided we can keep the conversation focused on work—projects, issues and tasks). However, saying that, the lines between an individual's work life and personal life are becoming blurred.
Let's see, e-mail wastes time because of a "deluge" of information. Ah, so hundreds of texts and social media messages don't? Yeah right.
"only 20 out of 200 e-mail messages turn out to be important". Um, that's going to somehow change with social media? Who are these people?
"Everyone has experienced the email thread that gets lost or buried, the person that needed to be included on the thread that wasn't or the critical email that was accidentally deleted."
OK, so explain to me how using texts and social media changes that? Go ahead, I'm waiting…
Ty, you're right on the money. To those who are nervous about email going away, how did you feel about the cassette tape? Blockbuster stores? All media, even in their written form, are replaced eventually by something better. The collaborative dynamic of, say, Google+, cannot be denied. The experience is much more rich. It's ability to enhance details related to a topic or challenge are beyond debate. We can instantly add images and video, and share our thoughts real-time, and with the right people. It will happen and it will be a good thing. Email will have it's role for a while longer, but it will be a much smaller one.
This is like banning the use of cars because someone was in an auto accident. Don't ban e-mail. Ban useless e-mail.
(I want to know what Breton's lawyers said when he announced it would be much harder to create a paper trail for business activity.)
I just got an email about this article, it proves exactly what you were talking about Ty. LOL! :-) Great article.
My notice came via Facebook and went out via Twitter…
I agree. Email is a massive problem. Corporate middle-management is receiving 100-400 mail messages/day. Combine that with 2-4 hours of meetings/day and it's a wonder that anything gets done. If fact, the sending/responding to e-mail actually creates more work than it completes. The other problem with e-mail, is that because people are so swamped, you never really know if your message has been lost in the inbox many times until you visit or call the person in question anyway.
Something has to give and we have to focus our efforts on creative action instead of managing the data flow in our lives. Email is fast becoming inappropriate for much of life.
What gives? I don't know, but my wish list is that I get no more than 10 actionable e-mail messages in a day and the rest I consume contextually by tag where and when I want with no expectation that I have to respond.
Keep beating the drum… you are definitely on the right side of this argument.

Intercampus Program in Communicative Disorders
Graduate training in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at the University of Kansas is an intercampus program combining the faculty, research and clinical facilities of two departments: the Department of Hearing and Speech, which is located at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, and the Department of Speech-Language-Hearing: Sciences and Disorders, which is located in Lawrence. Graduate degrees conferred through the Intercampus Program include the Master of Arts, the Doctor of Philosophy in Speech-Language Pathology and in Audiology, and the Au.D. (Doctorate in Audiology).
The University of Kansas Intercampus Program in Communicative Disorders (IPCD) was established in 1955, and became the first program in the country to receive accreditation in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology from the Council on Academic Accreditationin in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA). http://www.asha.org/academic/accreditation/AboutCAA.htm We do not offer an online gradiuate degree program.
Studies in related departments on both campuses provide an added dimension of excellence in available coursework as well as research and clinical opportunities. The Department of Speech-Language-Hearing supports the doctoral program in Child Language in conjunction with the Departments of Psychology, Linguistics, and Applied Behavioral Sciences, and the Human Biology Program in conjunction with the Division of Biological Sciences. Undergraduate courses are offered primarily on the Lawrence campus, and lead to either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of General Studies degree.
The Hearing and Speech Department also administers the Hartley Family Center (HFC). The HFC is a unique consortium designed to provide diagnostic, habilitative and educational services for deaf and hard-of-hearing children ranging in age from birth to three years and their families. Personnel and other resources from the Department, local school districts and infant-toddler agencies, the state school for the deaf and a local benefactor are combined to offer these services in a home-based environment.
Students in the Intercampus Program in Communicative Disorders achieve a high level of success in their studies and careers.

Restaurant > DiningFreshening up your Italian
Pasta Fagioli
|2398 Franklin Rd.
Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304
More on Pasta Fagioli.
Published 1/5/2005
In one corner of the dining room, alongside framed reviews, is a photograph of a beaming Tara Lapinski with her Olympic gold medal. She wrote: To Pasta Fagioli My favorite Detroit restaurant.
One can imagine Tara, after working up a healthy appetite while training at the Detroit Skate Club, wolfing down fettuccini Da Vinci (with red peppers and chicken in a mushroom sauce), or one of the other dozen pasta entrées that give this little spot its loyal following. Its a modest place in just another suburban strip mall. It doesnt have the most extensive menu, or the cheapest prices, but whats there is very good.
My first bite of veal piccata proved the point. This classic dish can be found in most Italian eateries, but here its just a little bit better, with a little more sauce thats a little more lemony, with more capers and artichoke hearts, not to mention very tender medallions of veal.
Chef Hamad Kouka, who worked for many years as chef at the exceptional Ristorante di Modesta, is on the scene day after day. Its a proven strategy that keeps quality high.
The restaurant first opened as a take-out operation, but before long added five tables. Now there are 11, and eight more seats at the counter.
Wall murals were painted by Janine Kouka, who owns the restaurant with her husband. The painting gives the impression that youre sitting in an Italian courtyard, with all of Italy just beyond the faux columns and flowering vines. On the wintry nights when we were there, the front door let in a blast of icy air that impinged on the fantasy.
The signature soup of white beans with a scattering of macaroni is just right for winter. Its simple and hearty, and its fitting that the restaurant is named for such a straightforward dish.
Just when you think minestrone is predictable, one comes along thats different from all others youve eaten. The broth only hints of tomatoes, and vegetables include hefty slices of celery, carrots, potatoes and cabbage. No beans. Its different, but good.
The lasagna is carefully constructed, each layer thickly blanketed with ricotta, more like a rich layer cake than a lightly dressed pressed sandwich. The ratio of cheese to tomato sauce is the opposite of what you may be used to, and its delicious.
Ravioli, made fresh daily, is served with a bright orange palomino sauce that comes from mixing tomato sauce with cream. The same sauce appears on the gnocchi cappricciosa perfect little potato dumplings, light as pillows, which the sauce doesnt overwhelm.
A frequently appearing special is angel hair pasta with lovely grilled shrimp and plenty of fresh vegetables, including spinach, onions and tomatoes.
Beyond pasta, there are four veal dishes and two fish entrées grilled salmon with mustard sauce, and white fish Livornese with black olives and onions in tomato sauce. For those with specific nutritional requirements, there are heart-smart options whole-wheat pasta with vegetables and fresh herbs is pricey at $19 and even some low-carb options, unlikely as that may seem for an Italian eatery.
The house salad is served with all entrées. The ingredients are ordinary romaine, shreds of carrots but the dressing is extraordinary: creamy, shot through with grainy mustard.
On our first visit, we were celebrating a birthday. Admittedly, we arrived late (8:30 p.m., the restaurant closes at 9 on weekdays) and were the only ones there, but the chilly reception from our server served to cast a shadow on the memory of the occasion.

Southern Californians reported seeing what they described as a "fireball" light up the sky in a possible meteor sighting. Robert Kovacik reports for the NBC4 News at 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013.
A meteor shower may have been spotted in Southern California skies Wednesday night.
NBC4 viewers flooded the newsroom with phone calls of reported sightings of a meteor shower that looked like a "fireball" and "exploding stars" from as far as San Diego. The National Weather Service also received reports, starting at about 8 p.m.
"I saw it while I was driving," viewer AnnMarie said via Twitter. "I thought it was a firework!"
NBC4 received reports of sightings in Temecula, San Diego, Coachella Valley, Palmdale, Tustin, Ontario, Palm Springs, Brea, Malibu, Pomona, Chino, Redlands, Seal Beach, Fresno, Long Beach, Anaheim, San Bernardino and Los Angeles.
A viewer from Los Angeles sent a video of what he described as a fireball over a parking lot.
"I saw the meteor. It was huge and broke into three large pieces," viewer Jonathan said.
NBC4 viewer Sylvia said via Twitter she saw a fireball suddenly appear and disappear across the sky.
Another viewer, George, described what he saw as a fast-moving trail that "burned in the atmosphere with a trail of debris."
The NWS said the fireball most likely was associated with the South Taurids meteor shower, which has been especially active in early November.
More than 170 witnesses reported the fireball to the American Meteor Society. Witness reports also were received from Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

Jennifer Tornetta, (O) 609-569-7010, (C) 609-335-3446,
For Immediate Release: June 7, 2013
Surrounded by representatives of AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's Trauma Center, Miss Atlantic County and a contestant in the 2013 Miss New Jersey Pageant Lindsey Giannini, co-founder of PADD (People Against Distracted Driving) with Mike Kellenyi, whose 18 year-old daughter Nikki Kellenyi was killed as a passenger in a car as a result of distracted driving, installed a "Stay Alive… don't text & drive" sign Giannini created in the main entrance driveway to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center Atlantic City Campus Thursday. AtlantiCare is the first healthcare organization to install the signs. The AtlantiCare Foundation sponsored printing of signs to be installed at various AtlantiCare sites.
Giannini began her "Stay Alive…Don't Text and Drive" campaign in 2011. She had designed her first "Stay Alive, don't text & drive" sign just four months prior to Nikki Kellenyi's tragic death April 15, 2012. Giannini has been a regularly scheduled speaker at the Trauma Center's Prevention in 3D education program for high school students, which is aimed at preventing death and injury from drinking, driving and drugs since AtlantiCare implemented the program in October, 2012.
"We're here today to save lives," said Giannini, "Distracted driving is a huge issue. Put down the phone when you're driving. You have one job – to get where you're going safely and not affect anyone else on the road."
"Lindsey has been a tremendous asset to our Trauma Team in educating our community about the danger of distracted driving through her participation in our Prevention in 3D Program," said Ayoola Ali, MD, acting Trauma director, ARMC. "We were pleased to be the first healthcare organization to install the signs she created. Teenagers often feel as though they are invincible. The awareness Lindsey and Mr. Kellenyi are creating through People Against Distracted Driving goes a long way in educating teens and adults, drivers and passengers, about the risks of dying or causing another's death due to texting and driving."
About PADD – People Against Distracted Driving – Nikki's Foundation
People Against Distracted Driving, Nikki's Foundation is a non-profit 501 C3 organization created in the memory of Nikki Kellenyi to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. It offers education about the dangers of distracted driving and emotional and financial support to those who have lost a loved one to distracted driving. PADD partners with local, state and federal governments and agencies and private and non-profit organizations to install "Don't text & drive" signs and messaging throughout communities.
About ARMC's Trauma Center
ARMC Regional Trauma Center, a level II Trauma Center based at ARMC Atlantic City Campus, is one of ten trauma centers in the state. In addition to its Prevention in 3D program, it offers a wide range of educational opportunities for both the community and healthcare providers.
About the AtlantiCare Foundation

Will The G1 Continue To Get One?
One of the significant disadvantages of being an early adopter of any new technology is what comes after it, specifically, the improvements that every technology experiences over time. Such appears to be the case for those who rushed to pick up the G1 — the first Android phone on the market — as questions have begun to pop up over whether the device is in line to see its last update.
Like any device, the G1 has certain physical limitations — only so much stuff can fit in the case, and among the stuff being stuffed in is its memory. Apparently, according to one of Google's developers, not enough memory was stuffed when the stuffing was good, and now G1 owners may find themselves short on updates.
Posting via Twitter — the mass-communication tool of choice these days, it would seem — Google's Jean-Baptiste Queru announced on Friday that the G1 is running out of space. "As much as I'm hoping that it'll be possible to somehow continue updating the G1, I can't promise anything." Queru ought to know, considering that he's one of the guys working on it, and apparently the team knew going in that space would be shrinking. "We knew that internal flash space was going to be very tight on the G1 and we kept the system partition tight on purpose," he wrote later, in response to ideas from fellow Twitterites on how to proceed.
Google, for its part, apparently isn't commenting, but T-Mobile apparently was. A statement from the company reportedly proclaimed: "We plan to continue working with Google to introduce future software updates to the T-Mobile G1. Reports to the contrary are inaccurate." That raises the question — and users are most certainly already raising it — of whether the company is denying outright that a problem exists, if there is a solution in the works that nobody is willing to talk about, or if a bit of corporate doublespeak is underway. The suggestion has already been made that "future software updates" may refer to security and bugfix updates, but not feature upgrades.
Those interested in Queru's comments might wish to have a look through his Twitter stream, though his most recent tweet, as of this writing, suggests that he's said his piece. "At this point I can't comment any further on this issue, sorry."

Root it
If you just Root the G1 as per the instructions given on XDA Developers, or numerous other locations on the net you wont have to rely on updates from t-mobile or any other supplier.
There are a whole plethora of ROMS available with new ones coming out almost daily which already do over and above what the Stock G1 was supposed to be able to do i.e multitouch, senseui, apps2d, etc.
Yes is true to say that this is only for the techie's and the geeks out there(like myself), although not complicated to root and Flash the G1 with another ROM, the average user isnt at all interested in going through all this and indeed why would they? I think that android is still for the geeks at the moment, I personally love it but joe public just doesnt 'get it' and wont do until it becomes available in an 'iphone-esque' standard which anyone can just pick up and play with. The one downside with open-source is that its not standardised enough for the consumer market and I dont think that android will ever compete with Iphone on that note.
Cellphone carriers... Bah who needs them!
Even if T-mobile will leaves the G1 in the dust, check out the work at xda developers, they'll show you how to teach an old new tricks.
By the way they've tweaked the HTC Hero's ROM to fit on the G1 and a microSD card
Now that only leaves someone to sell it to the public.
Fact is, with new devices getting more ROM, the pressure to add in new features, and pure one-upmanship from providers, it is inevitable that some Android release will not fit on the G1.
I don't think you can get 200MB free on a G1 any way at all, and I just had a myTouch in my hand with 277MB free, and running the apppack and eyecandy delivered out of the box.
If rooted G1s get any of these much later Android releases, it will be after they have been massaged to spin them into the available ROM and taken advantage of apps2sd etc to move cache and apps off the ROM. Which will get progressively harder until one day even the minimal system won't fit reliably.
I bought my G1 expecting it would last no longer than the upgrade period - 22 months in my case, which means around August 2010, unless TMO decides to do something clever.
And for those of you wondering why the myTouch gets all the love with accessories, bling, etc, well sadly that is a tale in both the market validation the G1 brought and the target market. G1 was pointed at geeks, early adopters, and the brave. myTouch is pointed at their little sisters.
Of course, this means I will sit down and work out rooting my phone. It's the only growth option now for anything beyond Cupcake.
ps- I wonder if Bluetooth is stronger in the myTouch...;)

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

PALMETTO -- A 73-year-old Palmetto man was arrested Thursday and charged with sexually abusing a child under the age of 18.
Manuel Garcia forced the child to perform oral sexual, according to a Palmetto Police Department report.
Garcia told police he was innocent of the charge and that he simply fell off a chair and, as he fell down, his shorts fell down, the report states.
Garcia was in the Manatee County jail Friday with no bail set, according to the sheriff's office website.

Peter Mark Fleischer was called to his eternal home on January 29, 2013. Pete was born in Ripon, Wisconsin on February 5, 1942.
Memorial Service will be 1:00 p.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church on Friday, February 8, 2013, with visitation beginning one hour prior to the service. Mankato Mortuary is assisting with the arrangements.
Pete worked as a career counselor, a community service coordinator and as a supervisor at the Mankato Rehabilitation Center. Later he was employed at Bloedel Monument, Fingerhut, Wells Fargo Bank and US Bank. He volunteered as a counselor in programs such as Big Brothers-Big Sisters, hospice care, chemical dependency and detox programs, March of Dimes, and many other organizations.
Pete was a sport enthusiast and dedicated Packer fan, but of greatest importance to him was his faith in his Savior. He was an active member of Luther Memorial Church in Fond du Lac, WI, Grace Lutheran Church in Fridley, MN, and Immanuel Lutheran Church in Mankato, MN.
He is survived by brothers: Rev. Daniel (Barbara) Fleischer of Oakdale, MN, Rev. Paul (Laila) Fleischer of Cheyenne, WY, and Rev. Thomas Schuetze of Coloma, MI; three sisters: Ruth (Kark) Mueller of Mankato, Naomi (Paul) Pfeiffer of Lake Crystal, and Mary (Michael) Thom of New Ulm. He is survived also by many nephews and nieces by whom he was loved.
Pete was preceded in death by his father, Rev. Marcus Fleischer; step-father, Rev. Waldemar Schuetze; mother Erma, nee Engel.
In March, 2012, Pete moved to Lake Crystal, MN, where he lived with Naomi and Paul Pfeiffer who cared for him. He died peacefully in his sleep.
Memorials may be directed to the Peruvian Mission effort at Immanuel or to Project Kinship, the church's orphanage in India.

In the new film "Kill Your Darlings," former "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe plays beat poet Allen Ginsberg -- and has steamy sex scenes with Emmaus-area actor Dane DeHaan's character Lucien Carr.
As HuffPost Executive Arts & Entertainment Editor Michael Hogan wrote in his dispatch from the Sundance Film Festival, "Plenty of male actors have passionately kissed male co-stars in films, as Radcliffe and the excellent Dane DeHaan do here, but it's hard to recall a Hollywood star as famous as this one simulating the act of homosexual lovemaking this explicitly -- knees in the air, lover on top of him -- or this vulnerably."
DeHaan had a cameo in the historic blockbuster, "Lincoln." Next Movie lists DeHaan as one of "13 Awesome Dudes You Didn't Know Were in Lincoln."
Dane DeHaan was born in Allentown and raised in Zionsville near Emmaus, according to a Morning Call report, which says DeHaan's "Lincoln" cameo comes early in the film as a Union soldier. DeHaan graduated from Emmaus High School, according to Wikipedia.
DeHaan is also a graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He now lives in Los Angeles.
He starred in the movie "Chronicle" this year and is most known for his portrayal of Jesse on HBO's critically acclaimed drama series "In Treatment."
DeHaan has a Facebook page and you can follow him on Twitter.

A man is under arrest tonight. He's accused of gunning down a manager at a Rite-Aid pharmacy, and now police are on the hunt for a second suspect.
FOX 29's Dave Kinchen spoke Saturday with that victim's father.
The man accused of murdering Chester Rite-Aid manager Jason McClay in cold blood Thursday night is 24-year-old David Wiggins.
Wiggins was picked up by authorities Saturday morning in Philadelphia and charged with murder in the first-, second- and third-degrees.
Jason's father, Bruce McClay says there's some relief in knowing his son's accused killer is behind bars.
Chester police worked with Philadelphia officers to surround the suspect in a Southwest Philadelphia house, catching him even as he tried to make a break through a back door.
The Delaware County district attorney says he may even seek the death penalty.
"If they happen to invoke the death sentence, that's fine with me," Bruce McClay said. "It will be good use of the taxpayers' dime."
The family says Jason was minutes away from closing up the store to watch the Eagles-Chiefs game with his family.
That's when investigators say Wiggins and an unidentified woman walk in during an attempted robbery.
There's an argument and gunfire, with Jason losing his life after being shot in the head.
Even more heartbreaking? Jason was filling in for another co-worker that night.
"You never think it's going to be you. You never think it's going to be your family that's involved in something like this."
The devastated family says the world lost a good man, a Navy veteran and a loving uncle holding his little niece in this picture.
While he plans a funeral, Bruce McClay says he's hoping to hear the second suspect is caught soon, saying he's "waiting for her to be apprehended and locked up, too.
A $20,000 reward was posted for information that leads to arrests in the case, and authorities tell me that still stands as they look for the woman involved in this case.
If you have any information, you are asked to call Chester Police, or the Delaware County DA's office.

The beginning of a new calendar year is a time when many of us are more receptive to embracing opportunities and challenges that may be a little out of our comfort zones.
That's why today I intend to strike while that iron is hot!
When people ask me what's the thing they need to do or change first in their diet, my answer isn't giving up dairy or meat … it's eliminating added sugar (as opposed to naturally-occurring sugars like those found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains) and processed food.
All those boxes staring at us from the shelves in supermarkets that promise everything from weight loss to energy are lying to us -- just read the list of ingredients, one more unhealthful than the other and many we can't even pronounce much less find on our own in a supermarket (because they don't exist there, only in factories).
And I have to hand it to the marketers, they've become more and more creative masking the word "sugar" by using words that many of us overlook such as: cane juice crystals, cane sugar, caramel, corn syrup, corn syrup solids, carob syrup, dextran, dextrose, fructose, galactose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, juice concentrate, lactose, maltodextrin, maltose, malt syrup, molasses, natural sweeteners, sorbitol, sucrose and treacle.
And these are only a few. (A good rule of thumb is to look for any words ending in -ose.)
Oh and artificial sweeteners aren't any better. In fact, recent studies suggest they are worse.
In his book Food Rules, author Michael Pollan offers excellent advice on how to make the right choices: "Shop the periphery of a supermarket."
That's where you'll find whole-food. Avoid the "dreaded center aisles, where processed foods predominate. Stick to the edges, where the meat, dairy, produce and fish are pretty much as they started out."
I know what some of you may be thinking, "A little bit of sugar never hurt anyone."
But that's just it -- we're no longer talking about "a little bit of sugar." We're beyond a little bit. Sugar is in everything -- our breads, yogurt, cold cereals, hot cereals, ketchup, peanut butter, apple sauce, fruit drinks, soups, tomato sauces, etc. etc. etc.
It's also addictive, just like alcohol and nicotine. Food manufacturers know this so they add more to everything to hook you. And when you're promised low-fat snacks, take a look at the sugar content. It's been increased to make up for the fat that has been removed. It's deception at its finest.
Case in point, it's no secret that I love Starbucks pumpkin spice soy latte. In fact, in the past I have enjoyed a "tall" almost daily. No big deal, right? I work out. I eat healthy. This is my "sweet treat."
Well that sweet treat contains 39 grams of sugar (or about 8 teaspoons) -- and that's without whipped cream. Let's put that in perspective -- according to the American Heart Association, women should limit added sugars to approximately 6 teaspoons, while men should take in no more than 9 teaspoons a day. I'm over that daily allowance with one 12-ounce drink! (I want to note that the doctors and health advocates that Matt and I follow suggest that 0 added sugar be the ultimate goal.)
I drank my last soy latte on Jan. 1, 2013.
Very recently, I bumped into a gal at Wegmans. She asked me about Coconut Sugar (new to me at the time) and its health benefits. I didn't have any information on it. When I went home, I sent a note to a well-renowned chef in California to inquire about it. This was her response:
"Just because something is less bad doesn't make it good. When it comes to sweeteners, use the fruit, the whole fruit and nothing but the fruit." (Sorry Agave!)
I invite you to watch a YouTube presentation titled, Sugar: The Bitter Truth. In it, Dr. Robert Lustig, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin.
I can assure you it's time well-spent. Click to watch.

Gov. Chris Christie vowed to finish his term regardless of whether Mitt Romney wins the presidency and also addressed local energy concerns during a stop in Lacey Thursday for his 94th town hall meeting.
"I told you I love this job. I want to do this job. I made a deal with you. Four years that I want to stay with you in this job, and then we'll see what happens after that," Christie said. "I'm not going anywhere. You people are stuck with me."
Christie, who addressed approximately 600 people at the Lacey Elks lodge on Beach Boulevard, vowed that if Romney wins the election, he would remain in New Jersey as he made a "four-year deal."
'Seamless Transition' After Oyster Creek Closes
A Whiting resident voiced his concerns about energy saying that reports have shown that in the next five years 40 percent of cars will be electric. With Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station closing in 2019, the man questioned where New Jersey will be getting electric from and how prices will be controlled.
"I made the decision to close Oyster Creek because of what it's doing in the Barnegat Bay," Christie said.
Christie reached an agreement with Exelon Corporation to close Oyster Creek 10 years before its operating license expires. The Whiting resident's concerns would be on target if all he did was to plan to close the plant, Christie said.
Three new natural gas-powered plants have been issued permits to be built in West Deptford, Woodbridge and Newark, he said. The plants will "more than cover what we're losing by closing Oyster Creek.
"It will cover what Oyster Creek was plus a little when they're operational," he said. "We're ready to go."
The three plants will create jobs during construction and as it operates as well as move the state away from out-of-state electric generation, Christie said.
"When you add the electric cars into it, I think 40 percent is very optimistic," he said. "Even if it's right, we'll be ready to do it with these three new plants that are coming online."
Before Oyster Creek closes, the new plants will be operating.
"You will see a seamless transition from the closing of Oyster Creek and the ramping up of these," he said. "We had to do both. If we were going to make the decision to save Barnegat Bay, closing Oyster Creek plant, we had to supplement that electric generation."
Christie added that 53 percent of New Jersey's electricity comes from nuclear power, and PSE&G is in the process of determining whether the company will ramp up another reactor in Salem.
The governor's comments come a day after local and state officials addressed the regional community to brainstorm efforts to possibly also replace Oyster Creek with a new facility, perhaps powered by natural gas.
'You Should Trust Me'
Christie also addressed his ethics, education, taxes and middle-class reform agenda.
"I wanted to see Gov. Christie," Norbert Danback of Forked River said. "I'm in favor of everything he says. I think he's on the right track. The one thing I wish he would do is something about the taxes."
Property taxes increased by 2.4 percent this year, which was the lowest in 20 years, Christie said. The state is working on closing loopholes under the 2 percent state budgeting cap, among other reforms, he said.
This year, changes to the pension benefit system saved Lacey residents 5 percent of money that's being paid toward the retirement system and 22 percent is saved of the money going toward the police and fire pension system. Combining both those figures, more than $425,000 has been saved toward local property taxes, Christie said.
In addition, school aid was increased by $280,000 this year, he said. Between the aid and the changes in the pension benefit system, that's more than $700,000 in property tax relief, Christie said.
"If you're going to trust anyone to be fiscally responsible and to cut your taxes, you should trust me and not the legislative Democrats, and the record shows it," he said.
Lori Aceto of Lacey said Christie's talk on ethics reform and public employees not holding more than one elected position sparked her interest in her.
"I wanted to see him in person and see that his charm is true, and it was," she said. "I wanted to see if I can envision him as president. I can."

The Duncan Banner
A preliminary hearing conference for Arthur Jackson will be held at 2 p.m. Feb. 8.
In his report included in the affidavit, Duncan Police Department Officer Nathan Carrio said Jackson had pointed a firearm at his wife and threatened to kill her just before midnight on Jan. 2.
Jackson's wife said after returning home from a trip to Lawton, she found her husband passed out on the floor. She said he had been texting her strange messages and calling her while she was in Lawton. Hints from the way he was talking and his slurred speech led her to believe he was intoxicated.
Jackson came to and while eating dinner repeatedly asked his wife if she was "one of them."
Later in the evening, Jackson's wife heard sounds from the bedroom, which she recognized as the sound of Jackson loading a bullet into the chamber of a gun.
When she saw the gun sticking out of his pocket, she grabbed her cell phone to try and call her son.
"Arthur snatched the phone from her and pointed the gun at her head and said something about what it would feel like if she died tonight," Carrio said in the affidavit.
Jackson's wife then grabbed the cordless phone and tried to call 9-1-1, which prompted Jackson to rip the base of the phone off the wall. She grabbed a nearby ironing board to use as a shield.
Jackson again pointed the gun at his wife and asked her who she was and to talk to him if she was not "one of them."
Jackson eventually lowered the gun and backed up giving his wife the opportunity to escape to the neighbor's house.
Police recovered a black Haskell brand .45 caliber handgun, unloaded, in one of the front bedrooms.
The gun was lying on a cabinet shelf next to the bed.
A magazine for the handgun was also recovered in a lower cabinet.
A warrant for the defendant was issued on Jan. 3. Jackson has been charged with domestic abuse and feloniously pointing a firearm.
