Bovada Las Vegas provides a long list of entertaining prop bets for the 2013 Super Bowl...here's the ones that stand out.

The new Super Bowl odds are out for 2013, and the Redskins are last place.
7 Reasons why Vegas has improperly set the futures bet for the Redskins to win the 2010 Super Bowl.
A few years ago Dan Steinberg suggested that we hand the enormously consequential BCS rankings over to Vegas: I asked another LSVC oddsmaker, Sean Van Patten, whether the OddsMakers Top 25 would...
Hat tipped kind of towards Extreme Skins, from the old news department it somehow escaped my finely tuned degenerative gambling radar that the Vegas lines came out on the 32 NFL team's over/under...

Thread: Capt. America Vs. Bigfoot
Capt. America Vs. Bigfoot
Capt. America went out one day and decided to trap Bigfoot. He set a snare trap, and sure enough, the next day he had Bigfoot hanging upside down. The beast appeared to be unconscious, so Capt. cut him down. He went up just as Bigfoot opened his eyes and grabbed him! Bigfoot looked at Captain, and said, "Well now, you have two choices: either I kill you or I screw you. The choice is yours." Without a word, Capt., as he had obviously done many times in the past, dropped his pants and tried to grab his ankles. The beast had his way and sent the embarrassed Capt. off.
Capt.was humiliated even more than he was used to, decided he was going to REALLY get Bigfoot! He dug a pit and covered it with branches,. Sure enough, the next day, Bigfoot was in the pit! As Capt. leaned to look in, Bigfoot grabbed him into the pit, and made the same offer. Once again, Capt. dropped trou and asssumed the position. He then hopped out of the pit, pulled Capt. up and sent him on his way.
Capt. was really sore! (physically and mentally!) and decided that he was going to kill Bigfoot. He took his rifle and went to where he'd had his previous encounters and waited. Before long, Bigfoot came into a clearing, and BAM!, Capt. shot him! He approached the prone body of Bigfoot, when suddenly Bigfoot grabbed him again! Looking at Capt. Bigfoot just said, "Be honest, you're not really here for the hunt anymore, are you?"For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.

James E West
The James E. West Fellowship Award is a national recognition for individuals who contribute $1,000 or more in cash or marketable securities to their local council endowment trust fund. This contribution is in addition to, and does not diminish or replace, the donor's annual gift to the council's Friends of Scouting Campaign.
Organizations or individuals may also contribute an award in honor of someone - an Eagle Scout, a Silver Beaver recipient, council president, or district chairperson, or in memory of a departed loved one, business associate, or special Scouter.
The original award was named after the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America who exemplified Ralph Waldo Emerson's observation that "an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man." Scouting today is the "lengthened shadow of more than three decades of the farseeing and dedicated leadership of Dr. James E. West.
The James E. West Fellowship Award is an attractive 8 X 10 inch certificate, personalized with the honorees name, date of gift and presented in a bound leather presentation folder. In addition, there will be a distinctive lapel pin and an embroidered square knot.

Pascal Laugier's controversial horror film Martyrs is a lot of things: shocking, vicious, fascinating, ugly, merciless, and brutal. Fortunately for horror fans with very strong fortitudes, it's also very darkly entertaining and strangely fascinating. The film is so hellaciously unforgiving that it makes Saw look like Sesame Street
-- indeed it may be one of the most ferocious horror films ever made -- but Martyrs is also quite effectively chilling and consistently disturbing ... frankly I think it's one of the most fascinating pieces of "hardcore" horror cinema you'd ever want to see. Put aside the film's creepily compelling ideas about child abuse, bloody revenge, and what we "see" just before the grim reaper arrives, and Martyrs is still distressingly engaging enough to warrant a look. I'll repeat my warning one more time, though. This is one of the most aggressively and explicitly difficult horror films ever made.
The bulk of the plot is simple enough stuff: Two young women invade the home of a middle-class French family, murder mostly everyone, and then continue to go just a little bit crazier. One of the murderers is a woman deathly afraid of the sliced-up specter who follows her around, and the other is simply there to take care of the shotgun-toting psycho ... and also to clean up after her messes. (And there are a lot of those.) By the time we discover why these young ladies are so mentally deranged -- and why their horrible childhood is now coming back to haunt them -- is the stuff of classic horror cinema.
Laugier has the brazen audacity to offer a reason as to why a person might kidnap and ruthlessly torture a man / woman / child, and it's a reason that has nothing to do with mental illness on the part of the abductor. Provided you can stomach such a consistently off-putting premise, I'd contend that there's a lot here for the horror fans to enjoy -- and I'm not just talking about the wall-to-wall bloodshed and the virtually non-stop nastiness. I won't spoil the surprises, but Martyrs closes with a third act that's as darkly compelling as it is jaw-droppingly violent. You'll find a clue if you're familiar with the word "martyr" (and its various definitions), but again -- I don't want to ruin any of the flick's twisted surprises, be they the gore-soaked nasty ones or the more esoteric ones peppered throughout the screenplay. And while I certainly admire and "enjoyed" Martyrs as a full-bore, take-no-prisoners horror tale, the film is so consistently unpleasant that I may never want to experience it again. (Maybe.)
Following on the heels of other recent imports like High Tension, Frontiere(s), and Inside, Martyrs represents an extension of French horror cinema that doesn't shy away from the rough stuff and aims to bring a few extra layers to the typically anemic slash-and-smash concept. To say that Martyrs is not for everyone would be a massive understatement -- indeed I know a few gore-lovin' horror directors who absolutely hated the film -- but if a flick like this is (in every way) the flip-side to your "typical" American horror film, then that alone is cause for some celebration. Most Hollywood horror movie are watered-down and practically worthless, but it seems pretty clear to me that Martyrs would much rather shock you than bore you with familiar concepts and overused ingredients.
Martyrs has caused dissension, debate, and controversy at every festival it's been to, and you'll definitely know why once they final credits show up. Some may opt to dismiss the film as unnecessarily brutal, shamelessly disgusting, and morally bankrupt -- but I'd politely contend that those folks are simply distracted by the bloodshed and/or simply unable to look past the nasty stuff. I certainly couldn't blame those folks for feeling that way, but I'd call Martyrs one of the most exceptionally "extreme" horror films I've ever seen. It's a difficult movie to "like," really, but I've no problem recommending it ... if only to the bravest horror fans in the world.

Truck won't start after a few upgrades.
Ok 1st a little history of what the truck has: 1990 GMC C1500 5.7L, MSD HEI Distributor, Hypertech Performance Chip.
Now what I just finished adding is: Shorty Headers, Water Pump, Thermostat, Radiator, all new cooling\heater hoses, O2 sensor, spark plugs and wires, Edelbrock Valve Covers and Air Cleaner.
Truck was running 100% before I installed all the new stuff and now it tries to start but it won't.
You crank on it for a bit and it just blub-blub-blub, dies.
I didn't mess with the distributor besides unplugging the wires, I've confirmed I'm getting fuel and spark.
The tricky part is that the previous owner marked the dist. with a sharpie for the cylinder #'s but it doesn't match the firing order so it can't be right.
I went ahead and wired the dist. to this layout:
My brother is coming by with a timing light so we can check that to confirm and we'll also determine for sure which post on the dist. is #1.
Any ideas regarding this problem please let me know. I was so careful not to mess with anything electrical related but regardless it won't start.
did you put plug wires back on the same way ?
I would bet that your plug wires are not correct. If it ran the way he had it then even though he may have not had the numbers correct, it still ran. Your "correction" of the wires may be the issue.

I tried the plug wires both ways. The way he has it labeled cannot be correct. If the dist. turns clockwise and it's supposed to click by each cylinder based on the firing order 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 then there is no way his labels are right. There is only 1 # labeled in the proper location and that's plug 1. But even that is all based on the orientation of the dist. that I've seen from pictures. If #1 isn't really #1 then they would all be off from the get go. This evening we're going to pull the cap off so we can confirm #1 is for sure #1 and then wire accordingly.
**If I can't get it running I will draw up an example of how he has it labeled which is different than the firing order.
- - - Updated - - -
1 thing I wanted to mention, when I have it wired the way it's labeled the truck won't even attempt to start. Wired the way the diagram above, the truck will at least blub-blub a little bit and the headers are warming up so I know it's firing. My assumption is that the post that he has labeled as #1 isn't actually that.

A quick way to find when #1 is tdc is to... pull the spark plug and thread a piece of paper towel into the whole. Then turn the engine over by hand with a wrench until the paper pops out from the compression stroke to tdc. Then watch the timing marks on the harmonic dampner and block until they align. This has always worked for my older 350 engines... and will give you an idea where number one is on via the rotor position. Now if it is in the incorrect position on the cap you can either change your wiring to match or pull the distributor and fix it. If you pull it you will want check/set the timing with a light.2009 Chevy Silverado 2500HDLT 6.0L w/ Towing Package, Dick Cepek GM8 Rims, Dick Cepek FC II 33X11.50R17,RKSport Ram-Air Hood(Functional), Lazer Lite Aluminum Tonneau Cover, Road Armor Stealth Bumper, PIAA Lighting, Diablo Trinity Tuner, Diablew Custom Tune, BullyDog Cold Air Intake, American Racing Headers w/highflow cats, Corsa Performance Sport Exhaust, Custom Striping, Black Bowties front and rear, Fuel Grille Inserts, Recon Headlights, Readylift Shocks, Readylift Upper Contol Arms, 2" Blocks in the Rear..

I totally understand what everyone is saying.
I didn't realize the #ing was completely odd-ball compared to the firing order otherwise I would have paid extremely close attention to the route of each wire.
This is not the 1st SBC v8 I've owned\worked on but it is the 1st that has ever given me problems.
What gets me is why it won't run at least crappy unless every dang plug wire is incorrect. It's not backfiring it just won't run.
I've also read about custom firing orders so maybe that's what he did.
I'm for sure not going to pull the dist. out yet. I'm just going to find #1 by removing the cover in order to see the rotor following the technique TimTom listed.
I left the P.O. a voice-mail so hopefully he'll respond and let me know why the dist. is labeled different from the firing sequence of the engine.
Again, as soon as I get home I'll reply with the #'s he has written on the dist.
Thanks again guys!
to #s on cap,is it cap for pretty routing of wires,i.e.exit same side as needed?cap will show routes other than straight up from post to post.little further in,could have 180 degrees out,no big deal,post back

Ok so the way he has it labeled is: 1,2,7,3,4,5,6,8 / 1 being located on the drivers side front of the dist. *That's counting clockwise from #1.
Anyone have an idea as to why it would be labeled that way?
got me,turn motor over by hand,put on mark at balancer,see where rotor is,on 1 like youre proper diagram you posted,or at 6,6 being 180 out
- - - Updated - - -
remember it takes 2 balencer cycles to one r.p.m.,hence the 4 stroke engine,pull a plug,crank motor , you will feel for compression stroke,on half cycle you will feel a smaller amount of air(exhaust stroke)check where rotor is,reinstall wires to rotor,dist. doesnt care where it starts from

Tuesday, July 29, 2014 4:26pmA new round of European sanctions against Russia, announced today, may also hurt US businesses that operate in Russia or have interests there. We consider the possible impact on these firms. Plus, it's looking increasingly likely that Argentina will default on some of its bonds. So what happens then? Will Argentina be consumed by hellfire? Will fear of contagion freeze the global financial markets and plunge us into another recession? Or will it be business as usual in the global bond market? Also, according to a report by the Urban Institute that came out this week, around 77 million have debt in collections. We look at what happens when a bill goes to collection, and what happens to the people who owe money.
Monday, July 28, 2014 4:23pmTrulia and Zillow announced they will join forces in a deal worth a reported $3.5 billion. It looks a lot like something that happens in tech when a sector matures in which companies start buying each other open a so-called roll up. We explain why this happens and what to expect in this business. Plus, Dollar Tree will also be acquiring Family Dollar Stores in a deal valued at $8.5 billion. How have things changed and how are these stores repositioning themselves as the economy recovers? In Detroit, the city water agency is proceeding with its plan to go after individual residents who are delinquent, to scare people into paying up, while negotiating with or otherwise letting slip by the big delinquent users who can fight back. Like Chrysler. And the state of Michigan.
Friday, July 25, 2014 4:41pmWe've come to expect lousy earnings reports from Amazon, but yesterday's was beyond lousy, and the stock is down 11 percent this morning. Has Amazon finally reached a point where it's going to have to behave like other companies and make some money? Plus, under the Affordable Care Act, healthcare companies are required to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on actual medical care. We'll explain how these rebates work and who actually gets the money. Also, has the automated red light camera system failed to live up to its promise? The system was created to improve safety on the roads and generate income in cities across the country, but the system has been plagued with controversy; and is increasingly unpopular with drivers.
Thursday, July 24, 2014 4:48pmFacebook's blow-the-roof off earnings report shows that it has figured out mobile, and is set to dominate the mobile ad world. So how did that happen, and what comes next? Plus, in its latest earnings report, automaker GM has revealed that it expects to spend between $400 million and $600 million to compensate victims of its defective ignition switches. We consider the company's strategy in handling its massive recall. Also, Twitter released its diversity statistics yesterday. Not surprisingly, they were as dismal as those at Google, Facebook and other tech companies. So now that they know the scope of the problem, what are these companies doing to address it?
Wednesday, July 23, 2014 4:35pmFighting between Israel and Hamas has led some U.S. and European airlines to cancel flights to Israel on safety grounds. We explore how airlines decide when they should or should not fly to a given destination. Plus, Target Corp. opened its first 'TargetExpress' store in Dinkytown, Minneapolis today. At 20,000 square feet it's even smaller than its 'City Target' stores. This physical reduction reflects an expansion by the company into new markets, but why has this big box corporation decided to 'go small'? Is this part of a larger trend by big box stores to make their mark on smaller communities? Plus, how will this move impact the company's profit margin? We investigate. Also, corporate earnings continue to go up, up, up. But that doesn't mean these cash-rich companies are going to give you a job. We explain why.

In this retrospective study of 100 cases from a veterinary college, preoperative abdominal ultrasonography and exploratory
laparotomy findings were reviewed to determine agreement and discrepancy rates and identify lesions likely to be missed by
ultrasonography. Imaging was performed by one of three experienced radiologists or by residents working under their direct
Nineteen cats and 81 dogs were included in the study, 47 of which were medium-sized dogs (10 to 27 kg). The results of the
imaging and the surgery were classified according to anatomical location and gross pathologic features. Additionally, surgical
findings were categorized as primary (main lesion) or secondary (other related) lesions.
Abdominal ultrasonography is a widely used noninvasive diagnostic modality, especially in ill animals requiring preoperative
evaluation. The authors cite various studies in animals that have documented the sensitivity of ultrasonography in evaluating
specific conditions (carcinomatosis and hepatobiliary disease) or presenting clinical signs such as hemoperitoneum after blunt
trauma. These clinicians and residents had a success rate of either 64% (agreement with surgeons) or 75% (identification of
primary lesion). It is worthwhile to note that body size did not affect the sensitivity of ultrasonography. However, morbid
conditions affecting the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract were missed.

Values are broad guidelines that describe how we pursue our purpose. Just as a mission statement describes "why," values describe "how." Values are meant to be clear, so that the desired behaviors to demonstrate values are understood. They guide our daily decision making. They must be consistently acted upon and followed by management or they will be seen as merely good intentions. The intent of the statement of values is described in greater detail below.
BYU personnel are expected to be competent in executing their responsibilities. Depending on the position, responsibilities may include technical skills, interpersonal skills, specialized industry knowledge, or an understanding of applicable regulations, among other things. The depth and breadth of required competency will vary from department to department and position to position. Nevertheless, all employees should strive to improve their competency and master the skills necessary to achieve the objectives of their organizations. In so doing, we will ensure that the services we provide and the products we sell reflect the highest standards of quality.
Respect for Sacred Resources
The resources used at BYU come from the tithing funds of the Church, contributions from donors, purchases by customers, and funded research. Regardless of the source, all resources given to BYU are considered sacred. This means that we are careful with the resources we have been given. It means that funds allocated for one purpose are not to be diverted to another purpose.
It also means that we strive to find the most effective way to accomplish a task. Finally, it means we will evaluate what we do on a regular basis and fund only those activities that make a real contribution to the mission of the university.
Integrity at BYU means dealing openly and honestly with patrons, fellow employees, regulators, students and other stakeholders, meeting or exceeding our commitments and acting consistently with our other values. It means keeping the promises that we make to others, respecting the interests of those with whom we interact, and meeting the highest standards of ethical behavior.
In our working relationships with supervisors and subordinates, integrity means communicating candidly and openly in meetings and one-on-one to share ideas, to disagree, and to offer or receive constructive criticism where appropriate.
BYU personnel are required to function as teams within their departments and in teams involving multiple departments. True "team" behavior requires alignment with the objectives of the team. We should express honest opinions and strive to contribute to the desired outcome. Employees who cannot support a team objective should ask to be excused from the team. There is no place at BYU for "passive-aggressive" behaviors which pay lip-service to team objectives and then seek to undermine the team through inaction or active disruption. Personnel who understand team dynamics recognize that together everyone accomplishes more.
Exceeding Customer Expectations
We strive to exceed customer expectations, both in the products and services we provide. This means we first need to understand what our customers expect. What customers need and expect is the denominator of the service equation. The customer's experience with the product or service is the numerator of that equation. Anything less than a ratio of one means that the customer's expectations have not been fully met.
It is important to note that expectations can vary dramatically, depending on the circumstances. Also, we will not seek to exceed customer expectations at any cost. In some cases, it may be more important to help change expectations.
Respect for all Individuals
We strive to show respect for all individuals with whom we interact. This includes students, prospective students, faculty, staff, alumni, customers, donors, suppliers, representatives of our Church sponsor, and others. Respect involves treating each person as we would like to be treated. It includes behaviors like courtesy, honesty, listening, and promptness.
Respect also involves encouraging people to express their ideas and opinions, including disagreements and complaints. It involves valuing the differences that arise from unique ideas, experiences, and backgrounds. Managers should set the tone and create an environment of respect in their work areas. It should be an environment in which we respect each other personally, as well as professionally, one that will contribute to individual growth, job satisfaction, and our effectiveness as an organization.
We strive to move forward, always looking for a better way to serve patrons, eliminate waste, become more effective, and make BYU a stronger organization. Innovation and improvement should be seen as the responsibility of every employee at BYU. Each of us is responsible to improve the products and services we provide, as well as the way work is accomplished.
Innovation is fostered by focus on long term solutions, rather than the quick fixes, and on improving processes, rather than simply responding to problems. Our success in the future will require continual learning through formal training, on-the-job education, challenging work assignments, and mentoring.
Excellence in performance is expected of every BYU employee. Achieving high performance on a consistent basis involves results-orientation with a focus on accountability in all that we do. This means setting clear goals, reporting progress on a regular basis, and monitoring progress through appropriate performance measures. It also includes following through to ensure completion of what we set out to do and acknowledging mistakes when they are made.
This value applies equally to team assignments as it does to individual responsibilities

Local Volunteers Help Relocate Community Clothes Closet
August 17, 2006
Local Volunteers Help Relocate Community Clothes Closet
The organizers of the Scotland County Community Clothes Closet recently announced the necessity to vacate their prior location housed in the old Jefferson Street school building in Memphis.
Plans were made to move the goods and services to the previous St. Paul Lutheran Church education building located on Highway 15 North. This location will now accommodate both the Food Pantry and the Clothes Closet.
"This is a great transition for us, as our efforts and services can now be focused in one, convenient location," stated organizer Trinity Davis.
Davis's fellow organizer, Ilene Howell added, "This facility will continue to serve our customers well. I think they'll value the convenience of our new location."
The Food Pantry and the Clothes Closet are administrated by the Scotland County Ministerial Alliance, and great efforts have been made by the respective staffs to improve the service being offered to Scotland County residents.
Over the past two weeks, organizers and volunteers of the Clothes Closet have spent time preparing for the transition by cleaning up both sites and organizing and packing the inventory. The date of the move was scheduled for August 10, 2006, and several volunteers offered their assistance to the cause.
Davis and Howell celebrated the notable volunteer turnout. They expressed their sincere appreciation to the members of the Gorin Go-Getters 4-H group for their willingness to lend a hand. Helpers from the group were Ivy Hauk, Ashley Tague, Abby Clatt and Julie Long along with group leaders Dana Hauk and Louella Tague. Other volunteers who graciously assisted were Betty Wheeler, Judy Boyer, Trinity Davis, and Ilene Howell.
A rainy morning in Memphis delayed the effort's starting time, but the largest share of the switch was completed by noon on Thursday.
The Community Clothes Closet will continue to offer open hours on Mondays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Many sizes of quality clothes for men, women, girls and boys are available for free.
Monetary donations are accepted from anyone willing to help defray the cost of operating the Closet.
"Everyone is welcome to stop by at the new location on any Monday beginning August 14," said Davis. "Clothing donations will continue to be accepted at the new location during open hours."
"Many fantastic volunteers each take their turn on the schedule regularly staffing the Closet," stated Howell. "Anyone willing to help or with questions regarding the Clothes Closet may contact me at (660)479-5470."

Shortly before the NFL season began, Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil took out a full-page ad in a Charlotte newspaper declaring the Panthers Super Bowl XLVII champions.
Never mind that Carolina went 6-10 the season before and plays in the same division as the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons.
It was a move that could have caused internal strife, a lockerroom divide that would derail the season before it started.
Instead, it was met as a breath of fresh air by coach Ron Rivera and by quarterback Cam Newton, who was the guest speaker at Sunday's Big Atlantic Classic Tip-Off Banquet.
"I wouldn't say it (added) pressure. If anything, it made everybody understand and be aware of what's at stake," Newton said in a press conference prior to the festivities. "I don't think anybody on my team felt as if this is going to be an added pressure on us. One thing that it did do, it made us realize the talent level we do have on our team.
"People are labeling us to be a team of the future, playing for the future and just being a team that could be on the brink of being good. I think we made strides this (past) season and hopefully we will make strides this offseason to get us back on track moving forward for next year."
The Panthers finished 7-9 and did not qualify for the playoffs. But there is talent, like Newton said, and he leads the way.
A college career highlighted by a Heisman Trophy and BCS national championship at Auburn was rewarded when the Panthers made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.
Newton has had a record-breaking first two seasons in the NFL. He became the first quarterback to throw for 400 yards in his debut with 422 against Arizona, then followed it with a 432-yard day against Green Bay. The 854 yards represent the highest two-game passing total ever for a rookie quarterback.
The Atlanta native finished his first season with rookie records of 4,051 passing yards and 706 rushing yards. In doing so, Newton was named the NFL Rookie of the Year and was a Pro Bowl selection.
Both records were surpassed in 2012 — the passing record by Indianapolis Colts' Andrew Luck and the rushing total by Washington Redskins' Robert Griffin III, who was originally set to be the banquet's speaker but was forced to pull out because of recent knee surgery.
Those three, along with Seattle Seahawks rookie Russell Wilson, as well as San Francisco 49ers' Colin Kaepernick, represent what could one day be a changing of the guard at the quarterback spot. Right now, the likes of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees come to mind as the league's elite signalcallers.
"It's very different," Newton said. "The picture that people are painting for quarterbacks in this league has to be different. Gone are the days of the quarterbacks who just sit in the pocket and have a big arm. Nowadays, you have to be mobile, to some degree. I'm not saying you have to be like a Robert Griffin and run a 4.4 or 4.3 and be able to scramble out of the pocket. But you have to be able to pose a threat to the defense.
"Just having that one skill set, it's becoming rare. It's becoming extinct. You look around the league, you see Russell Wilson. Andrew Luck has the skill set that he still can be mobile at times. Robert, obviously, and a quarterback that is in the Super Bowl (on Sunday), Colin Kaepernick. You see what he did to the league — put the whole league on notice with his performances in the playoffs.
"So it's kind of changing, but at the same time you still have to be able to throw the football in the pocket. It's kind of give-and-take."
Newton signed autographs for upward of 1,000 fans before and after his presentation and even sang "Happy Birthday" to one fan. He fielded about 30 questions, including:
n One young fan asked, "Can you catch a pass?" Newton responded, "I hope so," before receiving a toss from the young boy.
n Another young fan asked, "If I bring this up there, would you sign it?" Newton said, "I'm waiting on you, man." He then signed the memorabilia for the youngster.
n One fan asked Newton who he is picking to win Super Bowl XLVII. He said he is a fan of Ray Lewis and is going with the Baltimore Ravens to beat the 49ers. He earlier said he is thankful the Panthers have not played the Ravens so Lewis, who will retire after the Super Bowl, never had the chance to hit him.
n Finally, a Carolina fan asked Newton if the Panthers will make the playoffs in 2013.
"You know what, we will make the playoffs," Newton said. "You can document it."
Not exactly a full-page ad, but a guarantee all the same.

Cross country turned into cold country.
It didn't bother Amelia Sebok.
"There was even snow hitting me in the face," said Sebok, a sophomore from Sherman, who captured the girls individual honors in the Class AA-A Region III cross country meet held on a winter-like Thursday afternoon at PikeView High School. "I loved it.
"When it gets too hot you get dehydrated and sweat too much. When it is cold, it is perfect."
While Jason Weitzel didn't profess love or perfection, the conditions didn't slow him down, as the PikeView junior captured the Region III title for a second year in a row, beating his nearest competitor by a full minute.
"That was my goal," Weitzel said. "I expected to win this one."
While Sebok won the individual title, PikeView took the team crown, placing six runners in the top nine, led by the quartet of Katelyn Odle (2nd, 22:36), Sophie Klein (3rd, 22:57), Lauren Hatfield (4th, 23:32) and Alexis Sheets (5th, 23:47).
"They have dominated all season long so it was no surprise, it would have been a letdown if they had not placed first," PikeView first-year coach Gary Bailey said. "They have run well as a team, they have really placed close at the top, all of them have run close together."
Odle, who finished second to Sebok, wasn't thrilled with the conditions, which included 40 degree (or lower) temperatures, a cold, blustery wind and even a few snow flurries indicating the coming arrival of winter.
"It is not for me, you just feel stiff and your lungs hurt," said Odle, who finished third in the Region III meet last year.
Sobek, who was second in the event last fall, jumped out quick on the competition, finishing the 3.1 mile trek in 22:00, which was her goal heading into the event.
"Just to win the race, that is what I wanted to do," said Sobek, who has had an ongoing competition with Odle.
"We have always been neck and neck," Odle said. "She just pulled ahead early in the race."
The top two girls teams advanced to the Class AA-A state meet slated for Nov. 2 in Ona, with PikeView (16) joined by Richwood (46) from the three schools that fielded full teams.
"I am hoping if not expecting that they surprise some people," Bailey said. "I think people in the north may underestimate this group from the Coalfields."
The top 10 individual finishers qualified also for state competition, which included PikeView's Kaylin Kessinger (8th, 25:34) and Rebecca Sheets (9th, 25:56), the Richwood duo of Madison Frame (6th, 23:49) and Shanley Amick (10th, 26:15) and Sherman's Samantha Garretson (7th, 24:42).
Sobek, who finished 20th in the state meet as a freshman, has her sights set higher for this year.
"She ran good in the cold, she got out from the start and really took control of the race, never looked back, that kind of surprised me at first," Sherman coach Adam Coon said. "We are going for a top 10 spot so that is her goal and that is where we are going from here."
Weitzel left no doubt from the start who would win the boys race, jumping out early to finish in 17:26, a full minute ahead of freshman Jesse Cannday (18:26) of Sherman, which won the team title.
"He is the kind of kid that he is upset if he is in second place," Bailey said. "He is a tremendous competitor."
Weitzel, who helped PikeView to the sectional soccer title later that evening, came prepared for the conditions.
"I would have liked it better if it was in the sun a little bit, but it wasn't too bad, a little hotter would have been a little better," he said, with a smile. "I tried to wear warm clothes before the race when I am warming up, just try to stay warm for the start of the race."
He jumped ahead early, stretched out his lead and cruised to the finish line, looking fresh even if, in reality, he was feeling the pain.
"I usually start off the fast just to try to break the competition," Weitzel said. "I am pretty tired. Once you start running you don't really feel as cold, but as soon as you stop, you feel it pretty good."
Sherman placed four runners in the top nine, including Cannday, his sophomore brother, Zach (18:34), Thomas Bowles (5th, 18:59) and Nick Carrier (9th, 19:29), winning the team title for a second straight year.
"We won a squeaker here last year, and I think we were 11th or 12th at the state meet," Coon said. "We didn't do as well as we wanted to do there, we have been in the top 10 in the polls all year. Right now we are sitting at 8th this week. This is basically the same team and they have improved pretty good over the winter."
Four boys teams qualified for state competition, including Sherman (32), Westside (68), PikeView (69) and Greater Beckley Christian (116).
PikeView, which has just two seniors on its team, also received solid finishes from Garett Butler (12th, 19:46), Dakota Cecil (19:55) — the second ranked freshman in the state — and football quarterback Chris McBride (17th, 20:12).
"We have really come along since last year, they didn't have a complete team last year, now we have over seven runners," Bailey said. "We hope if we qualified today to compete and really improve next year, we are sort of shooting for next year."
Other top 10 qualifiers included Richwood's John Bard (4th, 18:58), Westside's Nathaniel Evans (6th, 19:00), Tanner Cantley (7th, 19:04) of Liberty, Kaleb Hamrick of Greenbrier West (9th, 19:06) and Greater Beckley Christian product Joseph Cornett (19:33).
All participated on an afternoon more fit for staying inside, but dealing with the conditions is just part of the sport.
"We train in whatever it is, it has been an unseasonably warm fall, it has been Indian summer, which don't get me wrong, we have enjoyed," Bailey said. "I don't think it had a whole lot of bearing on the outcome, everybody had to run in the same weather.
"For the most part I think the real competitors, it doesn't bother them."
Weitzel has his goals set high for the state meet, having finished 12th last year in Ona and 13th in 2011.
"I am going for the win and if I don't get it and I run a good time that is fine too," Weitzel said. "That course has a big hill in the first mile, where this course has a pretty easy first mile and then the next two miles are harder on our course."
Sobek certainly liked it.
"Where we practice it is just like here," she said. "It is really hilly and rough and weeds sticking out of the ground, it just makes me feel right at home."
As for celebrating her regional victory, Sobek had other plans after the race.
"I will probably go warm up first," she said, with a smile.

If you'll take my advice, I suggest you move your apology to the top of your post, otherwise someone skimming it might only see its initial (still-hostile) tone.
And while I found Erfworld just after the hiatus had ended, and therefore have no first-hand experience of its events and those prior, I think I might have figured out where the confusion originated. There's a lot of work involved in writing a story that can't be done one chapter (or strip) in advance, which is what I assume he was working on (as in laying the groundwork instead of making finished products).
Besides, I thought the point of vacation was to relax and recover.

Open heart surgery is any surgery where the chest is opened and surgery is done on the heart muscle, valves, arteries, or other parts of the heart (such as the aorta). The term "open" means that the chest is "cut" open.
The definition of open heart surgery has become confusing because new procedures are being done on the heart through smaller cuts. Some new procedures are being done with the heart still beating.
See also:
Heart surgery - open
A heart-lung machine is usually used during open heart surgery. While the surgeon works on the heart, the machine helps send oxygen-rich blood to the brain and other organs.
You will not need to be on a heart-lung machine for these types of surgery. However, your heart rate will be slowed with medicine or a mechanical device. If there is a problem with these procedures, the surgeon may have to open the chest to do the surgery.

The West End's own Port City Brewing Co. was featured Tuesday morning on CBS This Morning in a David-veruss-Goliath story about small breweries and the beer behemoths.
Last week, the Department of Justice sued to prevent Anheuser-Busch InBev from acquiring Groupo Model, which makes Corona. The acquisition would have essentially given AB InBev control of more than 50 percent of the beer market in the United States, The Washington Post reported this weekend.
The proposed acquisition brought to light the difficulties small, craft brewers have gaining a foothold in the market. Craft beers make up just 6 percent of the market in the United States by volume—but demand is picking up.
Bill Butcher, founder of the of Port City Brewing Company, told CBS News, "We're in a fortunate position in that we're selling all the beer we can brew and we struggle to keep up with demand."
Port City opened in January 2011 on Wheeler Avenue in Alexandria. In took less than two years for the company to brew its one millionth bottle.
Butcher spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. in September 2012. The Obama administration produced a video on Butcher and Port City as an example of how the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act helps small businesses.
On the craft-beer trend, Butcher told CBS News, "It's very similar to what happened to the wine business 15, 20 years ago. People stopped ordering just a generic glass of white wine and they started ordering Chardonnay. It cost a little bit more, but it tastes better and people were willing to pay a little bit more."

Rick Ungar, Contributor
I write from the left on politics and policy.
It's enough to make even the most ardent Obama cynic scratch his head in confusion.
Amidst all the cries of Barack Obama being the most prolific big government spender the nation has ever suffered, Marketwatch is reporting that our president has actually been tighter with a buck than any United States president since Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Who knew?
Check out the chart –
So, how have the Republicans managed to persuade Americans to buy into the whole "Obama as big spender" narrative?
It might have something to do with the first year of the Obama presidency where the federal budget increased a whopping 17.9% —going from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. I'll bet you think that this is the result of the Obama sponsored stimulus plan that is so frequently vilified by the conservatives…but you would be wrong.
The first year of any incoming president term is saddled—for better or for worse—with the budget set by the president whom immediately precedes the new occupant of the White House. Indeed, not only was the 2009 budget the property of George W. Bush—and passed by the 2008 Congress—it was in effect four months before Barack Obama took the oath of office.
Accordingly, the first budget that can be blamed on our current president began in 2010 with the budgets running through and including including fiscal year 2013 standing as charges on the Obama account, even if a President Willard M. Romney takes over the office on January 20, 2013.
So, how do the actual Obama annual budgets look?
Courtesy of Marketwatch-
No doubt, many will wish to give the credit to the efforts of the GOP controlled House of Representatives. That's fine if that's what works for you.
However, you don't get to have it both ways. Credit whom you will, but if you are truly interested in a fair analysis of the Obama years to date—at least when it comes to spending—you're going to have to acknowledge that under the Obama watch, even President Reagan would have to give our current president a thumbs up when it comes to his record for stretching a dollar.
Sorry Rick, but your analysis is laughable…as is Market Watch's Nutting's upon which you base yours. Hard to believe you can repeat Nutting's analysis with a straight face.
The stimulus was proposed by Pelosi and Reid and SIGNED by Obama. He owns it. ALL of it. The 2009 budget (again proposed by Pelosi and Reid back when the Senate was actually doing budgets) was never signed by Bush as the spending was too high. Obama signed it…and thereby took ownership when paring it down would have been more reasonable (and jibed with his campaign promises.)
Bush never had a deficit greater than $438 billion, even with "two unfunded wars and an unpaid for drug benefit." And his worst deficits were when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress…hmmm. Obama has never had one less than a $ Trillion. And with the passage of Obamacare and it's subsequent explosion in outyear cost estimates…the future ain't lookin' too good either.
Nutting's nutty analysis has been eviscerated by both left and right. AP fact checked as largely fantasy. Even the Washington Post, that paragon of lefty inside-the-beltway truth, gave it a charitable 3 Pinocchios. Political Math said it should be a MINIMUM of 4 Pinocchios.
Even a cursory search of the web shows far more reality based analysis. Here, I'll help you out:
"Bush never had a deficit greater than $438 billion, even with "two unfunded wars and an unpaid for drug benefit." And his worst deficits were when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress…hmmm. "
@econ101: Are you HIGH? Long before Obama came onto the scene or we knew who was going to be the Dem contender for the Presidency on 08, it was clear & easy to follow the escalating debt under Bush. You cannot implement a significant tax cut then launch 2 wars & a prescription cut all at same time. (all before 2004, so you knew what you were getting into when you voted for him the 2nd time) Before the primaries were heating up, BEFORE the 2006 turnover, when it was a GOP presidency, House & Senate, the Debt had gone from just over $1T to at least $6T. Before the turnover in 06, we were spending $2-4B A DAY in IRAQ ALONE. Perhaps you were not, but many of us ( especially those who DO consider ourselves to be 'fiscally conservative') WERE paying close attention and remember what was done/said, & when.
I know that the current right wing loves to indulge in reality bending revisionist history across the board, but this won't wash. Those of us paying attn, those of writing emails, making phone calls at the time, (screaming up/down actually), begging someone to notice the increasing nat'l debt, we remember. You can pretend all you want but those were the days when the GOP mantra was Cheney's infamous comment " Reagan proved deficits don't matter".
Really well researched and presented FACTS. Unlike the author, who twists numbers well enough to work for Communist Soetoro/Obama, or any of his 22+ aliases he's using, you'd be most welcome for real economics under a Ron Paul Presidency, or after we topple this unConstitutional fascist regime, in the Meritocracy likely to follow. You didn't even need to bring up "missing" funds of $7 trillion, why TARP saved overleveraged bad banks vs. innocent consumers-who would have put the money back into the economy-not for buying more derivatives, which increased 43% over '08 amounts. We now owe $350 trillion, or $100 million for every man, woman, and child-wish I had my sources at hand as you do-well done-thank you-Dr. Paul'd be proud!
TY Rusty-I knew it! Our author just mentioned every other year-except the most dubious one-nice job!
Hi Rick,
Can you also remind Doug that the GM and Chrysler bailouts occured in November 2008 under the watch of George W Bush? He seems to have misplaced the year President Obama took office.
Thank you!
Myron Jackson
Way to go Rick!! You tell em!
"…you who ARE a bit confused" — never "you is"… Author needs to master basic English grammar if he is going to write. I'm having trouble concentrating on the content.
A "budget" is a political document, a resolution without the force of law.
That's not true Rick. Not raising taxes does not equate to a tax cut in my vocabulary. Only a liberal thinks not rasing taxes is a "cut".
You ask in a later response to Doug "who should we be more scared of" while responding to his assertion that we do not have a "passed budget".
I find it hard to believe that not only are you employed, but that anyone of substance reads your nonsense.
While Congress is mandated by law to produce a budget resolution every year, the Senate has failed to failed to pass a budget for the last three years. Senator Reid and other Senate Democrats have argued that they don't need to, because the Budget Control Act, passed as part of debt-ceiling negotiations last summer, sets spending levels for the coming fiscal year.
Mince words any way you like sir, but you like many other extreme liberals and conservatives for that matter spin a story to suit your needs every chance you get.
Furthermore, the title of the article is extremely misleading because Obama has spent, according to your OWN numbers MORE than Bush II or any other president. It's just the increase in spending that appears lower. (partly due to the FACT that we have not had a FINAL, PASSED budget in 3 years).
You may have your own opinions sir, but you may not have your own facts.
We are not scared of you though, we're scared of the voters who believe your type of propaganda.

2014 Update:
This pours a light straw-tan color. There's a touch of bready rye aroma on it that's light and pleasing. The rye character comes across as I smell it and taste it. There's a hint of hops and a light bitterness. Easy going rye ale. Not bad, but nothing stands out either.
This pours a murky golden-tan straw color with a lot of foam. Foamy head retains its shape after a few minutes have passed.
Light hop character with some orange aroma.
There's an evident hop-bite and rye zestiness on this with a nice filling effervescence that tapers into a bit of a spicy finish. Anywhere else but in Michigan and I'd applaud this brew.

Pours a medium golden with a lingering, frothy ivory head.
Aroma is slightly soapy, peppery, and rye spicy.
Flavor reveals floral hops, with a bitter, peppery, finish. The malt backbone is lightly toasted, with sweet hints of caramel.
Though rye spiciness is evident, it doesn't overpower. Very drinkable.

I poured a can into a pint glass.
Appearance- Slightly hazy golden color with two fingers worth of foamy head. The heads lingers for a few minutes then slowly fades to a half inch cap and leaves a fair amount of lacing.
Smell- Grapefruit hop aroma with a hint of spiciness.
Taste- Moderate grapefruit and grassy hop bitterness with some rye spiciness and a hint of caramel malt sweetness. It has just enough of a hop presence for flavor but not so much as to be overpowering. The slight spiciness and sweetness add a nice twist.
Mouthfeel- Medium bodied with an average amount of carbonation. Crisp with a dry finish.
Overall- A good thirst quenching beer. This is one of the better rye beers that I've tried and worth having again.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: An impressive pour, with a foamy meringue of a head that squats atop the cloudy goldenstraw colored liquid
Smell: Gently spicy with a hint of lemon
Taste: Opens biscuity, with a citrusy mix of lemon and white grapefruit developing; in the middle, the peppery and spicy tones from the rye take the beer in another direction; a hint of sweetness underneath
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: I found myself pleasantly surprised by this beer; the rye was handled deftly and added a nice angle to the other tones

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served a nice golden amber color with a one finger head of white foam. The head fades rather fast leaving a decent leave of foam on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the beer is light overall with some hints of a mainly a bready smell along with a bit of a citrus hoppy smell. Some other light peppery rye smalls are there as well with just a hint of pine.
Taste – The taste begins with a bready and light rye taste mixed with a tangerine sweetness and some grapefruit upfront. There is a little bit of caramel that is later lost as it is buried by more citrus tangerine and grapefruit hop. All the while the rye builds a bit with it bringing along with it some lighter hop flavors of pine. In the end, with the bittering of the grapefruit hop and the moderateness of the rye flavors, one is left with a somewhat moderately fruity, bready rye, and decently bittered grapefruit hop taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the average side in terms of thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is on the slightly lower side. Both are rather nice for the mix of rye bread flavors as well as the hops and makes for a nice easy drinker.
Overall – A rather easy drinking sweeter and more moderate rye brew. A nice one to try if you get a chance.
Serving type: on-tap

The PGA Tour's newest winner is Derek Ernst — http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2013/05/05/derek-ernst-wins-wells-fargo-championship-playoff/2136859/ –, a 22-year-old rookie, and he is no stranger to BHM Publisher and youth golf sponsor Dave Duffy. Prior to Derek's win today, one of the few photos a web search would turn up of him was this one with Dave after the 2011 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship played at Bandon Dunes. Dave blogged about it back then here: http://www.backwoodshome.com/blogs/BehindTheScenes/2011/07/01/well-be-rooting-for-derek-ernst-at-the-u-s-amateur-public-links-championship/ and here: http://www.backwoodshome.com/blogs/BehindTheScenes/2011/07/04/mills-and-do-defeat-ernst-and-dodd/

This time of year in Oregon, a lot of people burn off their slash and junk piles, which in my case includes left-over building debris and fallen tree branches I've retrieved from my own trees or the forest. Faces often appear out of my slash pile fires so I thought I'd share a few from my most recent fire. First is this face of a man facing left, second is a gorilla facing right, and third is a sitting dragon looking right. — Dave.

If you've seen the news today, you know New England was hit with a major snow storm that dumped as much as 38 inches of snow in some areas. Our webmaster lives in a Boston suburb and felt lucky to have awoken to a mere 18 official inches, although one drift in his yard topped five feet.
Most folks spent the day running snow blowers and wielding shovels. Below are two of his neighbors, who waited until late afternoon to begin shoveling, trying to figure out where to pile all the snow so it doesn't collapse back onto their sidewalk or into their driveway.
And some folks, having spent too many hours moving snow, like the owner of the car, below, gave up and left their car buried until tomorrow.

Butch (Richard Blunt) sent me more photos of him and me camping and fishing at Maine's Unknown Lakes in 1963. We were both 19 years of age.
Posted in Uncategorized | 3 Comments »
This photo is from 1974, taken by Richard Blunt, who is now the Food Editor for BHM. Tony Lamb, then 69, is at left, and Dave Duffy, then 30, is at right. I was interviewing Tony to write a book called The Retirement Threat with him. It sold about 70,000 copies and had 7 different printings, including a hard back, soft cover, large print edition, special Penguin Books edition, etc. I couldn't find it through a Google search. Now I am 68, nearly Tony's age then. My daughter Annie, who was 9 years from being born when this photo was taken, is now age 30 and has been running the editorial side of Backwoods Home Magazine for 3 years. Where does the time go?
Here's what the book looked like. These are, from left, hard back, soft cover, and G. K. Hall Large Print editions:
I've been lost in my own world and failed to notice until today that Massad Ayoob, my friend and one of BHM's most important writers, was in a helicopter crash. He's ok, thank goodness. Here's the local story:
and here's Mas's blog account:
I've been absorbed in a lot of technical details affecting the magazine, but the most important things affecting it are writers like Mas. I'm really thankful he didn't get killed or injured.

Spirit AeroSystems announced today its goal to bring its Wichita workforce back on Monday, April 23, to restart production. Spirit made the announcement on its website.
According to the machinists union, employees will get paid for a 40-hour week whether they were called in or not.
Also, Spirit agreed to continue paying SPEEA-represented employees their regular salary regardless of time worked for two weeks.
"We are committed to doing what we have to do to bring our factory up and running by Monday," said Spirit AeroSystems President and CEO Jeff Turner.
"Spirit has made very good progress with our recovery plan this week. Now it's time to bring our entire Wichita team safely back to work, with the flexibility and responsiveness to serve the needs of our customers."
Once production resumes, the company would then work on quickly ramping back up to full-rate production. Spirit crews have been working around the clock since Saturday night's tornado to assess the damage, build and work recovery plans, clear debris and restore basic services to the site.

Smoking areas coming to Lido
Date: April 30, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The Lido and North Lido beaches will soon have designated smoking areas. Sarasota city commissioners voted April 20 to approve the designated areas in the parking lots of those beaches.
Sarasota County adopted a beach smoking ban in 2007 and created designated smoking areas at beaches, such as Siesta Key Beach. Last year, the city enacted a beach-smoking ban, but, at the time, did not create any places for smokers to light up. The vote last week fixes that.
Signs in the parking lot will alert smokers to the designated smoking areas, and receptacles will be placed there for cigarette butts, which is the reason for the ban in the first place.
"We wanted to adopt the county's ordinance because of the litter, not because of the smoking habit itself," said Todd Kucharski, Sarasota public works general manager.
The commission vote was 4-1, with Vice Mayor Kelly Kirschner dissenting. He voted against the ban last year and said he did so again, because the ban includes chewing tobacco.
"I think that's pretty Draconian," Kirschner said. "Most people hooked on tobacco need an alternative, even though chewing tobacco may not be desirable to some."
Kirschner said if the point was to rid the beaches of non-biodegradable cigarette butts, he doesn't know why chewing tobacco was included in the ban.
The designated smoking areas are expected to be put in place within a month.

July 31, 2014
Every offseason, Green Bay Packers fans chew their fingernails to the nub while human cliffhanger Brett Favre decides whether to retire or play for another year.
And every time, No. 4 reaches the same conclusion: He still can play, and he just can't say no to football.
So far, Favre hasn't said anything about his plans for 2008 -- beyond, of course, the playoffs in January. But Favre provided some insight today into the thought process behind his decision to return for this season.
He says he saw potential in the young Packers, but he didn't expect them to have an 11-2 record and division title wrapped up going into Sunday's game at St. Louis.
According to Favre, the defense was most effective in the string of four wins at the end of last season, and he realized at some point that if the offense could improve, this season could be a lot of fun.
And he was right.

State Pride: Two CT Residents on U.S. Olympic Ski Team
Mac Bohonnon, of Madison, and Eliza Outtrim, of Hamden, are going for gold in Sochi.
Posted by Gary Jeanfaivre (Editor) ,
In addition to the six members on the men's and women's ice hockey teams, the Nutmeg State is sending two residents to compete for gold in freestyle skiing — Mac Bohonnon, of Madison, and Eliza Outtrim, of Hamden.
They are members of a team that was announced Tuesday, based on results from the International Ski Federation World Cup.
At 18 years old, Bohonnon is the youngest member of the Men's Aerials Team, while Outtrim, 28, is representing on the Women's Moguls Team.
According to his website, Bohonnon has been dreaming about representing his country in the Winter Olympics as a Freestyle Aerialist since he was 13 years old. He's been skiing since he was 2.
On Sunday, just two days before finding out he made the team, Bohonnon was named International Ski Federation (FIS) Freestyle Rookie of the Year, according to the website SnoCountry.
Then, when he found out he mad the team, he wrote this on his Facebook page:
"Holy cow, dreams do come true. I couldn't be more excited to say that I'll get to represent the US in a few short weeks at the Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia! This is the most incredible opportunity I could have ever imagined. I can't thank all of my family, friends, coaches, teammates and everyone in between enough for the unyielding support over the years. Go USA!" he said.
Outtrim was equally jubilant.
"My Olympic dream has come true!" she wrote on her Facebook page. "I am proud to say that i will be representing the United States of America as a female mogul skier at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Thank you Mom and Dad for your unwavering support, especially in these last couple of weeks. And thank you family, friends, coaches, sponsors, PT's, Doc's, and fans. You know who you are. This is so crazy!!!!!!"
Her profile on the U.S. Ski Team website reads, in part:
"Growing up in Hamden, Outtrim and the family skied often, usually at Mount Snow, Vermont. When Mount Snow started a freestyle program, she was on the first team. 'There were eight or 10 of us, and we'd ski Waterville Valley, Sunday River, sometimes at Killington. It was fun,' she says."
"She enrolled at Lowell Whitman School in Steamboat, CO and worked through the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club's heralded program. Outtrim kept punching her way up through the NorAms, and when she tied for second in the NorAm moguls standings in 2005, she earned her ticket to the U.S. Ski Team."

TRAVERSE CITY — Runners huddled inside Eastern Elementary, waiting until the last minute possible to venture outdoors into single-digit temperatures for the start of the Frozen Foot 5-mile road race.
That was last year.
On Saturday, runners will be greeted by much warmer temperatures — and clear roads — for the annual race, which gets underway at 10 a.m.
"I think the temperature was around 5 or 6 degrees when the race started last year," Kevin Deyo recalled. "It was a real pretty morning, just cold and clear."
Upwards to 200 runners typically compete.
"I'll think you'll see a good turnout given the mild weather," Traverse City's Lauren Tucker said.
Tucker, who turns 30 in a week, has been running four days a week this winter, logging between 18 to 24 miles. She officially starts a training program next week, leading up to May's Bayshore Half-Marathon. She has a set goal in mind for Saturday.
"I ran the Turkey Trot 5-mile race in about 41 minutes," she said. "I want to see if I can beat that time. It was a really beautiful warm day (for the Turkey Trot), so I'm hoping the conditions will be similar Saturday."
Deyo, 54, has been battling a cold and is not certain he'll race Saturday.
"I'll see how I feel," he said. "I want to do it. I picked up my entry form."
Deyo runs or snowshoes nearly every day. His running base is around 50 miles a week.
"Last year I was training for a marathon and I was over 70 miles a week," he said. "I don't have any goals in mind right now (for spring), so basically I'm just trying to keep fit."
Deyo figures he's been in "eight to nine" Frozen Foot races.
"Saturday's weather is going to be much different than all the other ones I've done," he said. "Some years (it's been so icy) I've put screws in my shoes to get better traction.
"I remember the first one I did. It was in the high-30s with rain. A cold rain is miserable to run in. I'd rather have snow than a cold rain."
In fact, Deyo, would like to see more snow.
"Hopefully, Sunday and Monday it will starting swinging back the other way," he said. "I'm one of those people who likes winter. I like to cross country ski, snowshoe, get out. If we're going to have winter, let's have winter, not this in-between stuff. It's nice to drive on clear roads, but ...."
Another large contingent from a Grand Valley State University running club is expected. Grand Valley's Michelle Verellen and Max Dekorne were the overall winners last year. Dekorne has won the last two men's races.
Saturday's race starts and ends at Eastern Elementary. Race day registration begins at 8:30 a.m.

TICONDEROGA — More kids are eating full meals on weekends here.
The Kiwanis Club of Ticonderoga BackPack Program has expanded to the Ticonderoga Middle School with a grant from Stewart's Holiday Match Program.
The initiative, begun in January, sends eligible students home each Friday with backpacks stocked with food to help them eat healthy over the weekend.
To start, the program packed backpacks for 30 Ticonderoga Elementary School students.
The Stewart's Shop grant of $1,250 made it possible to add 15 Ticonderoga Middle School students to the program, according to Kiwanis Club President John Bartlett.
He said the backpacks are distributed every Friday at dismissal and are intended to last the weekend.
On Monday, the students bring the empty backpacks to school to be refilled for Friday.
The club wants to expand to St. Mary's Catholic School in Ticonderoga and Crown Point Central School in the fall. Those are the schools within the organization's service area, Bartlett said.
The Kiwanis Club works through a committee established at Ticonderoga Central School District to distribute the food to students.
The backpacks are numbered to allow students to discretely pick them up at the end of the day, said John Donahue, principal of Ticonderoga elementary and middle schools.
The backpacks include breakfast items such as oatmeal, cereal and granola bars. Entrees consist of macaroni and cheese, Spaghettios, tuna and soup. Snack items, fruits, vegetables and a loaf of bread are included. Beverages include milk and juice.
The Stewart's funding will be used to buy food from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.
Donahue said the school formed a committee to determine which students qualified for backpacks. Then the parents were contacted to see if they wanted their children to participate.
This year, the program will run to the end of the school year in June, and next year it will start in October and run through June as well.
