Riders in this news : Anémone MARMOTTAN ; Federica BRIGNONE ; Jessica LINDELL VIKARBY ; Maria PIETILAE-HOLMNER ; Marie-Pier PREFONTAINE ; Ragnhild MOWINCKEL ; Tessa WORLEY
What a Sunday for Rossignol Team! After the two victories of Lara Gut in Downhill and Super G, Jessica Lindell Vikarby has signed her first career World Cup victory in giant slalom on the Birds of Prey. Sweden's racer was just 0.09 seconds faster that Mikaela Shiffrin and 0.56 seconds faster that Tina Weirather. After two controlled runs, she claims the 4th podium of her career.
"It's been a long since I last stood on a podium and I am really pleased to be there again. I've been working hard the last three years on my GS technique and I am obviously very happy it's paying off. Being in the lead after the first run was something new to me. I was for sure nervous, but tried to relax, breathe and stay calm. I'm glad it worked out in the end. Conditions today were perfect, I couldn't even tell that 29 racers ran before me. Simply a great day" (FisAlpine)
Jessica's teammate Maria Pietilae-Holmner ended third of the first run but finally took the 4th position, her best result in the discipline. Anémone Marmottan is 6th, Federica Brignone 7th, Marie-Pier Prefontaine 9th like Tessa Worley our GS World Champion.
Ragnhild Mowinckel has closed her amazing week-end with an 8th place in GS after having marked her first WC points in downhill. "I'm totally speechless! I can't believe that just happened!! I'm floating on pink clouds", she said on twitter.
Lara Gut, winner of the Downhill and the Super G, unfortunately did not finish the first run: "I touched the snow with my inside boot in the middle steep section, lost contact and started sliding on my side". But she leads always the overall standings with 300 points.
Congratulations to all the Rossignol's ladies for this exciting weekend! Next stages will take in Lake Louise (Canada) with two downhill races and one Super G.

From staff reports
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — How do you comfort someone in grief?
TRAVERSE CITY — Ninety-one percent of those polled said it's better to say something to someone who has just lost a loved one — even if it's risking saying the wrong thing — than to say nothing at all.
So said Michael's Place Executive Director Mindy Buell, citing a 2011 study by the New York Life Foundation in partnership with the National Association of Grieving Children.
Here's what Michael's Place suggests:
n Comforting Words
"I am sorry this has happened to you."
"Take all the time you need for yourself."
"I hope things get easier for you."
"I am here if you want to talk."
"You don't have to go through this alone."
"I understand this is going to take some time."
n Comforting Actions
Offer to help out with tasks, such as laundry, grocery shopping or babysitting.
Make family-size meals for the freezer to eat months after the funeral.
Send "I am thinking of you messages" for at least a year. Remember special days like the birthday of the deceased, anniversary of the death, Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Write down a favorite memory or story.
Don't try to fix. Just sit and listen without judgment.
n Less Helpful
"I understand just how you feel."
"You should be over this by now."
"You are never given more than you can handle."
"Your loved one is in a better place."
"You need to be strong for your ..."
"You are now the man/woman of the house."
Michael's Place, a nonprofit located at Boon and Hastings streets, offers several different, free programs, including support groups, assistance to businesses and schools with grief crisis support, youth programs and a yoga healing class to relieve stress and anxiety.

May 26, 2012
By Bob Thomas, seminoles.com
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - With brilliant performances across the board capping three days of action at the NCAA East Preliminary Round, Florida State's track & field teams will head to the NCAA Championship meet with 21 athletes and high hopes.
The Seminoles completed their impressive romp at Hodges Stadium on the UNF campus Saturday by adding national qualifiers in seven more events, with the FSU men's sprinters and women's distance corps leading the charge.
"I think we carried the momentum from yesterday to today," FSU coach Bob Braman said. "I don't know that it was a better day, but how could you be better than yesterday."
That's hard to quantify, but the Seminoles were no less impressive.
Maurice Mitchell earned the top qualifying mark in the 200-meter dash, racing past the field in 20.13, then contributed a leg to the Seminoles' 4x100 relay team, which also posted the top qualifying time in the East (39.05). Horatio Williams qualified sixth in the 200 with a season-best of 20.47, and also contributed to the relay unit.
Michelle Jenije was the top qualifier on the women's side, notching the No. 2 mark in the triple jump - a career-best legal leap of 13.59 meters (44-7) - which was nearly overshadowed by the continued dominance of distance coach Karen Harvey's crew.
Hannah Brooks (4:18.72), Amanda Winslow (4:19.47) and Violah Lagat (4:19.49) made their reservations for the June 6-9 championship meet at Drake University by grabbing three of the top five spots in the second heat of the 1500-meter run. Kayleigh Tyerman closed the night by finishing second in her qualifying heat - third overall - in the 5000 meters with a personal-best time of 16:06.28, made sweeter when she zoomed past three-time NCAA cross country champion Sheila Reid of Villanova with 600 meters to go.
"I can't believe it," said Tyerman, one of six FSU women's distance runners headed to the championship meet.. "I love FSU. ... I have all these girls around me just running at an amazing level. It puts so much confidence in you. That's the team I run with and I want to be a part of this and you just go with it for these girls. These girls are amazing. I'm wearing this jersey and that's what gets me across the line."
It was an emotional day all around for the Seminoles, which began with junior Andrew Lahaye qualifying in the pole vault. LaHaye tied for sixth after clearing a personal-best 5.32m (17-5.50) to help keep the ball rolling after FSU's brilliant Friday performance.
"Every year the regional meet is nerve-wracking for me," LaHaye said. "It brings out really good jumping because you've got to perform that day no matter what the conditions are. I'm glad I stepped up today and did that, because it definitely did validate [my season]. ...
"Making it to nationals is very important for me and for the team, because we're going to be very tight this year. If I can contribute, I'd be very, very happy to do that."
Perhaps the best story of the day was turned in by senior Michael Putman. After narrowly qualifying for the NCAA East round following March thumb surgery, Putman unleashed a throw of 18.54 meters (60-8.75) on his second attempt, which qualified him ninth.
"It's a good feeling to just give myself another opportunity to throw; another week-and-half to get stronger and my technique wasn't as crisp as I want it to be," Putman said. "I told the coaches if anybody can break their thumb, come back and make it to nationals it would be me."
Associate head coach Harlis Meaders couldn't be happier for Putman.
"It was an emotional and physical setback, but Mike stayed focused and bounced back," Meaders said. "We did things the correct way, letting him rest. The medical staff did a fantastic job. But in the end it's really Mike. He's always been an extremely good competitor and he's got an internal drive, an internal passion, that really makes our team stronger."
That passion - team-wide - was never more evident than the scene at the finish line when Brooks, Winslow and Lagat realized they were headed to the championship in the 1500 meters together. They shared a long embrace that captured the scene perfectly.
"It's very, very exciting," said Winslow, who is headed to outdoor nationals for the first time. "I couldn't be happier. Going into the race it's kind of nerve-wracking to have three from the team and only five make it, but we did it. It's so much cooler to do it with your teammates."
"Ahh, it's so special," Brooks said. "We're all so, so happy the three of us made it. We were almost more worried about not all three of us making it than each individually making it. It's really cool to have the three of us get there, especially coming out of the same heat."
"The women were really awesome - three autos in the 1500 from the same heat - Kayleigh Tyerman was a beast. Michelle Jenije, what a beast," Braman said. "The women stepped up. The women said, `Hey, we want to be top 10 [at nationals] and they've got a shot.' We qualified six distance runners, two very, very capable jumpers and a thrower who is making her first trip."
The prospects are even higher on the men's side, who will take aim at a national championship in Des Moines.
"We really put ourselves in position while others opened the door a little bit - [Texas] A&M, Florida and Arkansas," Braman said. "We were super in the 4x100, great in the 200 - Horatio almost had a personal-best - and Maurice may have had a legal PB," Braman said. "Mike Putman getting in was huge. He's a great wild card; a guy that's scored the last two years. He's the kind of guy you want to have with a shot at a national championship. And LaHaye had a PB and tied for sixth. He might well score."

The storm that just moved down the left coast is hitting us Zoni's right now. They're saying it might snow as low as I am here in Tucson. If it does it'll be the third time I've seen snow this year. In the past 12 yrs here in Tucson, I've seen it snow at my house once. I'm here now cause it's thundering outside...In the winter. That doesn't happen very often.
All I know is it's supposed to be in the mid 80's by mid week. I went mountain biking yesterday, my road old bike restoration is done now, and my bicycles are telling me they want to go out and play and they don't know why they can't.

Immigration Review Office combats fraud with new online system
The Justice Department's EOIR recently launched its new eRegistry system for attorneys who do work before the immigration courts. The system is one step toward making the office's business processes all electronic. It also will make it harder for notarios, or unqualified people who represent immigrants before the court system, to bilk unsuspecting immigrants.

5/11/12 The Denver Nuggets got 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists from point guard Ty Lawson and they kept their season alive with a resounding 113-96 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 from the Pepsi Center in Denver. Down 3-1 in the series, the Nuggets have won two straight games on the brink of elimination to force a decisive Game 7 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Nuggets have gotten huge performances from some unexpected contributors in this series and will look to become just the 9th team in NBA history to rally back from a 3-1 series deficit to win.
The Denver Nuggets lost game one of their first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 103-88 on Sunday night at the Staples Center. Andre Miller led the Nuggets overall offensive charge with 12 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and steal, but it was not enough to overcome the strong 31 point, 5 rebound and 4 assist game by Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Andrew Bynum led the Los Angeles squad in a historic fashion on the defensive end by tying an NBA playoff record with 10 blocked shots in the game. Denver small forward Danilo Gallinari led the Nuggets in points with 19 on the game. Game two will be played on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
5/4/12 The Denver Nuggets have fallen behind 2-0 in their best-of-seven first round series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ty Lawson scored 25 points and added 7 assists in Game 2, but it wasn't enough to derail the Lakers, as they fell 104-100 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Now, the series will shift back to the Pepsi Center in Denver for Games 3 and 4 and the Nuggets will have to fight to keep the series alive and keep their season going. They will have to stop the perpetual scoring threat of Kobe Bryant and the resurging Andrew Bynum first.
With a playoff spot already clinched, the Denver Nuggets are in a three-way battle for seeding with the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz. Going into the final few games of the season, Denver and Dallas are only separated by a half game, while Denver and Utah are only separated by a game and a half. The team faces off against the Western Conference leading Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, however it appears that the team will rest many of its best players in anticipation of the playoffs. The team's final game comes against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who at 26-39 have given up on their playoff hopes.
4/12/12 The Denver Nuggets are holding on tightly to the #8 seed in the Western Conference right now with a record of 32-26, only 1.5 games ahead of the Utah Jazz for that precious last playoff spot in the West. The fast-paced, high-scoring Nuggets offense led by Ty Lawson, Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler has Denver ranked #1 in the NBA in points per game with just over 103 points per night. The Nuggets are also 7th in the league with over 43 rebounds per game as big men Kenneth Faried and JaVale McGee continue to crash the boards night in and night out. Going into the final stretch of the 2012 NBA season, the Denver Nuggets are clinging to the #8 seed with a 32-26 record, just a game above the Utah Jazz in the standings. While the team has won its last two games, it has struggled to create distance between themselves and the Jazz. The Phoenix Suns are also right behind them with a 30-28 record and just two games out of the playoff race. The Nuggets have been paced this season by point guard Ty Lawson, averaging 15.8 points, 6.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. The team has one game remaining against the Phoenix Suns before the regular season comes to a close.

Denver Nuggets 2011 Offseason
Who would have thought that when the Nuggets traded Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups they would have taken 5th seed in the play offs and finished 2nd in their division to Oklahoma City and didn't lose any steam in the journey. The Nuggets made some good moves. They may have lost the big names but they have come together more as a team. George Karl has kept the Nuggets as perennial contenders in the Northwestern Division of the NBA. In the 2011 Draft they came away big with getting back Andre Miller and drafting Jordan Hamilton and Kenneth Faried who are both expected to make impacts in the near future. They lost Raymond Felton but they have Ty Lawson (predecessor guard from UNC of Felton) to fill in. Look for the Nuggets to be contenders again in the 2011-2012 season.

Denver Nuggets tickets ensure that fans see the Nuggets playing top contenders throughout the entire NBA season. The Nuggets have a solid shot at winning the Nothwest Division in 2011.

Will Barack Obama's Convention Bounce Last?
President Obama's polling numbers received a boost following the Democratic National Convention.
President Barack Obama experienced a boost in his polling numbers after last week's Democratic National Convention, with Gallup now showing his job approval rating at a 52 percent. Obama is now polling at 48 percent to Mitt Romney's 45 percent among registered voters.
Candidates typically see their poll numbers bounce following the days-long convention "infomercials," as the events give them the opportunity to speak directly to voters on their priorities and proposed polices as well as candidly attack their opponent. Obama, who has been plagued by a poor economy, gave a solid if somber speech last Thursday. His wife Michelle and former President Bill Clinton also both gave very well-received speeches in their quest to re-elect Obama.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 campaign.]
But despite the positive energy garnered for the president in Charlotte, the day after Obama's acceptance speech the monthly jobs report was released, showing less-than-expected job gains in August. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.1 percent, but the decrease was explained by the fact that more people have stopped looking for work altogether rather than because they've found jobs. This direct evidence that the economy is still struggling may negate the positive numbers Obama's seen post-convention.
"It is possible that these upticks are short-lived and that the race will devolve back to a parity by next week," says Gallup. "On the other hand, if Obama builds on and sustains his higher job approval rating and lead over Romney, it could signal a possible resetting of the presidential race as it enters the remaining three-and-a-half weeks before the first debate on Oct. 3."
Romney did not receive much of a bounce following his convention, despite an impassioned speech by his wife Ann, a fiery keynote by Gov. Chris Christie, and solid performance from Romney himself. The fact that his numbers did not bounce significantly should be of concern, some pollsters say, because history has shown that no modern candidate has won the election without taking the lead after his own convention. The Romney campaign says the bounce Obama's received is just a "sugar high" following his convention.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
"The reality of the Obama economy will reassert itself as the ultimate downfall of the Obama Presidency, and Mitt Romney will win this race," said a memo from Romney pollster Neil Newhouse. "The key numbers in this election are the 43 straight months of 8% or higher unemployment, the 23 million Americans struggling to find work, and the 47 million Americans who are on food stamps."

Haydn Shaughnessy, Contributor
I write about enterprise innovation.
Nigam Arora's technical analysis of the Apple stock price suggests it faces a few key days. At one stage Friday it was down at $558, from above $700 in September.
How ludicrous is this? Apple is a top performing company with plenty of room to grow. In the mobile space it is normal to count sales in the hundreds of millions. In computing you are big at 30 million units. Contrast with Nokia. At its peak, the Finnish company sold around 450 million phones a year. Mobile represents scale beyond the dreams of computer makers.
So Apple has upside – here's the story on the iPad Mini. And Apple has reinvented enterprise structures to facilitate extraordinary growth at low relative cost.
What's changed is sentiment. In the past what mattered was trader sentiment – that's why share prices go up and down – but what matters now is pervasive sentiment.
Eighteen months ago I wrote a few pieces here on Forbes about the relationship between specific sentiments and stock price. Here's one on innovation and share price performance.
I wrote about it six months ago too – suggesting that sentiment against Apple was turning. Last week I came back to the issue of public sentiment towards Apple. And shared with readers the view that part of Apple's problems stems from the broad spectrum of opinion forming around its performance. For a number of reasons anti-Apple sentiment has accelerated even as the company's performance improves.
Apple is in a fairly new place with sentiment – performing extremely well but getting nailed by opinion. It's not entirely new. Apple competitor Nokia lost its shine before it lost its competitiveness, taking criticism for its design shortcomings while it was a global powerhouse.
Nokia was poor enough at managing perceptions about its performance that senior management lost the right to manage. And that view is forming around Tim Cook, rightly or wrongly.
The flow of sentiment, and the management of reputation around it, is vastly different from PR, and the reason could be that sentiment analysis is now deeply embedded in trading systems as a buy/sell signal. Here's Chris Thomas from Media Measurement, one of those involved in developing sentiment analysis for trading.
"….automated sentiment analysis is viable commercially ONLY because of high frequency trading applications. Algorithmic trading is an anomaly in that it creates a feedback loop – it almost doesn't matter about the accuracy of the signal, as long as there is a definite pos or neg signal the signal drives the trades, the trades drive further moves in the same direction in terms of investor sentiment and the value lies in latency, who can act first to exploit the opportunity creates, so that's why sentiment analysis is a market at all."
In other words Apple's problems lie in the signals swirling around the market place, all quite detached from its PR machine that largely emerge from social media sources like blogs. We need to know more about the impact of online sentiments. They are clearly taking a toll on Apple right now. Just as clearly we have a misplaced emphasis on social media as a marketing tool when in fact its real impact might be on valuations.
The right way to deal with it – Cook has to up his game and become more of a peer in the community of people building their businesses around Apple.

Trader sentiment my eye. The whole market is a giant casino game and Apple is just one of the venues.
Apple IOS is very unthoughtful. While there is room to grow in the market, Apple is now seeing how many corners they painted themselves in with IOS.
When the iPhone launched, the industry was full of vendors that themselves were painted in a corner – need to embark on new, but tied down with support/ and manufactureing for the old.
Apple finds itself with the tables turned. It must support a very alrge ecosystem of apps that are not designed to be scalable. Add to that that it only launches a new model every 18 months, when your competitors are not turning over new tech monthly…
Microsoft has the only thoughtful long vision game in town, and it's is awesome. Most journalists or soccer moms don't know enough to realize what is actually out there, they only know enough to say "Apple is good, this is what I am getting".
The GS3 commerical put it best, when the mom says "This is the line for apps, right?". The majority of IOS users use it because they are told it is the best – they don't *really* know anything about it or the market.
I see tons of articles referring to xbox music as basically a "follower" of itunes and spotify", yet, ZunePass has been around for ages – exactly the same thing. I've been enjoying any music any where for 5 years. What have the scores of itunes users been doing? listening to 30 second previews and spending $1 hoping the like the song for more than a week?
Chumps. All of you – Chumps.
This realization is just now peaking over the horizon, and only one player in town has a unified and complete vision.
Apple stock was driven up by blindness.
1. You are not a developer, that is clear. The scaling issue is a problem with Android, not iOS.
2. I am not sure which Microsoft reviews you are reading, because the ones I have seen seriously question upgrading to Windows 8 , and the Arm version of Surface is heading to Zunedom. It awaits to be seen what the Intel version that allows full use of Office is like.
3. GSIII is good hardware, but good hardware costs good $$$. The Android world is growing at the lower end I thought.
4. Chumps? For choosing iOS for the benefits it brings to people. You must be a lot of fun at parties. Hopefully you are not this insulting when you discuss tech with people in person!
Apple's products have been speaking for themselves for 40+ years. Sentiment flows like the seasons, and as an investor, you need to go in when sentiment is the lowest. Human beings are short-term memory challenged, it is hard-wired into our limbic system. No one remembers that Apple went through this exact thing only a few months before, and 6-months before that. We only see recent trends. Use the 3-rd grade mathematics concept of dollar-cost averaging (buying more shares with the same $ at a lower price = reducing your avg. cost basis lower than the average price of AAPL) and you will be a successful investor in the long-run. Takes discipline and goes against human intuition, but it is mathematically and statistically superior…Cheers…
Seasons is representative of the 'wave-like pattern' that stocks move along, while following a 'general trend line'. I didn't mean that Apples stock follows Earth's seasons… Apple consistently has 15% to 20% corrections, that are followed by moves to a new high. This has happened > 10X in the last 3 years. If you buy into the correction, you are able to buy more shares with the same allocation of $, which brings your average cost basis below the 'average share price' during that period. Hope this helps. Cheers…
So, you are saying that the trader sentiments are driving AAPL six feet under. But, what is the reason of traders' sentiment, their sentiments is not based on real performance ( look at AMAZON who have not shown a single penny for the shareholders and getting positive nod from analysts) and we are talking about money, may be we should wake up Graham and Dodd and let them know what this illogical traders are doing to his model. Maybe you are just reporting what you are seeing and not presenting thesis.

Cink totaled 14 strokes in the extra session, while Watson needed 20 shots in the same stretch at Turnberry. The playoff was contested over Nos. 5, 6, 17 and 18 and was aggregate score
For Cink, this was his sixth PGA Tour win and first major championship. He had a chance at getting into a playoff at the 2001 U.S. Open, but missed a short putt on the 72nd hole that cost him that spot.
Watson had been going for his record-tying sixth Open Championship title and was trying to become the oldest major champion.
Cink posted a one-under 69 in regulation, that included a birdie on the 72nd hole to post two-under-par 278.
Watson, led by one on the 18th tee, but knocked his approach over the green at the last and could not save par. Watson shot two-over 72 in the final round to match Cink at minus-two.

Delightful is right! I was out of fresh red peppers so I used a roasted red pepper from a jar, other than that I made no alterations. I did add one jalapeno & loved the bit of heat it added...I think next time I might even add 1/2 of another. I chose to use the fresh parsley, although I think basil would be nice also. I was going to make this a first-course but decided this would make a better partner to the meal so I served it w/ Grilled Halibut with Cilantro Garlic Butter, some leftover rice frome a stuffed grapes recipe & homemade italian bread, cooked on the grill & served w/ infused oil. Pinot grigio paired really well but then again I like it w/ just about everything. LOL
This tastes like Summer! I put all of the ingredients into a large pot (the size you would cook spaghetti in). I blended the mango, orange juice and olive oil first with a hand blender, then added the rest of the ingredients and used the hand blender for that as well. If you want some texture, leave part of the ingredients out and stir in at the end. I opted to use cilantro and it tastes wonderful in the soup. I used pre-sliced mango from Costco and it saved alot of time. Definitely try this. It sounds strange but tastes delicious.
This is a wonderful Soup! I made this for about 20 people and everyone was delighted with it. I had never made cold soup, so when I first read the recipe I was a little worried that the onions, garlic and so on were not cooked or sauted before putting them in the soup. It was a very HOT day so I followed the recipe to the letter and it was wonderful. This is a real energizing soup. My husband called it Live food. I bought the Mango prepeeled and pitted. It was well worth the extra cost. Because of time, I put the soup in the freezer for about an hour and half before serving it. I will definately be experimenting with other Gazpacho recipes. It is easy and very tasty. Thanks

In a warm room, with the door slightly cracked for circulation, the 15 women chatted casually as they concentrated on sewing buttons, repairing tears, darkening noses, restuffing as needed, inspecting for safety issues, and smoothing fly-away hairs.
These Mountain Bear Fan Club volunteers meet twice a month to separate the large from the small, or according to special holidays. They not only sort "Teddy's" but all kinds of stuffed animals from aardvarks and snakes to Wizard of Oz characters and Homer Simpson. Then there are those items that leave the members scratching their heads as they make guesses as to exactly what that particular item actually could be.
Even with such a small Mountain Area membership of 35 or so, this group is recognized as one of the largest gifting groups generally distributing more than 10,000 stuffed animals annually within the worldwide organization of Good Bears of the World.
The recipients include hospitals, social service agencies, fire and sheriff departments, the California Highway Patrol, and other area service clubs all who have the opportunity to deliver these stuffed animals to those in need. And, a huge hug always comes with each animal.
"Each of our members carries at least one stuffed animal in their cars, so if they come across an accident, or some kind of tragedy, they can bring some comfort to the situation," member Merline Gillette said. "When I think of all the animals we have given out to the service men, at funerals, hospitals, law enforcement, at fire department disasters, or to anyone that requests them, it makes me feel like all my efforts are going to a truly wonderful cause."
One of Gillette's favorite memories is of the group's annual participation in the "Silent Sleigh," where all the children who attend are deaf.
"About two years ago, a girl about nine was standing in line to sit on Santa's lap. I found out this was the first time in her life that she had ever seen Santa Claus. Her face lit up and she was all smiles. It made such an impression on me that I no longer felt the cold weather. We sometimes forget just how blessed we are."
Mountain Bear Fan Club was founded in 1991 by Toni Lagunoff, when she gathered together seven of her friends to share how teddy bears comfort and can make people smile, even during those more trying times.
About 99% of these stuffed animals are donated when children outgrow them, or when spring comes around and it's time for a little of that thorough and deep-cleaning.
The group is actively recruiting volunteers and donations both monetary and of the stuffed variety. Volunteers meet for "Care and Feeding" the second and fourth Mondays of the month at the Oak Creek Clubhouse, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. They also hold monthly meetings at different area restaurants the third Thursday of the month.
"Anyone who enjoys working with their hands, has time to spare, and would like to contribute to a good cause with the goal of providing stuffed animals to caregivers in the Madera and Fresno areas, is encouraged to join," President Beverly Gordon said.
"Our bears are given to sick, injured, lonely or traumatized children and the forgotten elderly," Gillette added. "Teddy bears do make a difference."

New director hopes to expand Hooksett Chamber
Started in 2010 and with close to 40 members, the chamber's board of directors decided a full-time employee was needed to help the chamber grow.
"Zlotnick is awesome. She has done a great job so far and we are ecstatic as a board. She is just doing a great job, putting her boots on the ground and starting off running. We are very pleased," he said.
"I want to step up my career and I like the small town community and feel of Hooksett. I am confident that I can build the chamber up and in turn make the community a better place. Certainly Hooksett has potential," Zlotnick said.
"We want larger events to get attention and raise money. Up our profile. We haven't done that very much so far, and I have seen other organizations do it and grow exponentially because it," she said.

Ciao Rebecca,

Let me know
When are you due??
As one of the moderators, I just wanted to put in that it may not be in your best interest or the best interest of someone else, to post a phone number here. Although we are usually a safe haven, it can be a weird world out there. Rather than posting phone numbers, it may be a good idea to write, "Please contact me off list" or "Please contact me privately" and have someone click on your screen name and send you either a private message through these forums or a personal email.
I am due August 21.
Rivka, I just tried to give you a call. Should I be dialing something else before the 333? I am in Genoa and very unfamilar with the way the phones beep or how to dial out.
Whats your number Amy? I will call you as soon as I can. My number is 333 237 6263...it's a mobile, keep trying. I will try to check my emails again later this morning,
Thank you, I will try to be cautious but in this case I am not able to access my emails very frequently...
I am in Lunigiana...and I am leaving in early September. I wish I could help you....
Buona Fortuna,
Hi Rivka, my number is (39) 010 312467. Thank you, Amy

David Lowery and Toby Halbrooks' video for "Lafaye," the first single from School of Seven Bells' third album, Ghostory, pairs lingering shots of singer Alejandra Deheza with lighting effects that mirror the song's slow shift from a steady, grim electronic beat to an ethereal, soaring chorus.
"The video for 'Lafaye' was partially shot in a gorgeous old house in south Dallas," says Deheza. "It was in between lives, you could say, gutted and being cleared out for the new owners. David Lowery and Toby Halbrooks totally scored on this one. It was all ripped-out walls and exposed wiring – super-spooky and raw. I couldn't have thought of a better setting for 'Lafaye''s ghosts."

Ok team! A couple pieces of news happened in Washington recently, and for the love of all things holy we can't understand either one. So today, we're going to do a comprehensive study of both RG3's crippling knee injury and the recent Fiscal Cliff deal, and try to see which of the two is set to have a more devastating effect on Washington DC.
Tale of the tape
RG3's Knee Vs. The Fiscal Cliff: Which Wintertime Disaster Will Screw Washington Longer?
|According to CBSSports.com, "a direct repair" of the lateral collateral ligament and "a re-do of [Griffin's] previous ACL reconstruction."
|Wait, wait, wait. What happened?!
|Per Forbes, "[T]he current 10/15/25/28/33/35% individual tax rate brackets [will revert] to the pre-2001 rates of 15/28/31/36/39.6%."
|The most exciting player in the NFL shredded his leg.
|I see. In English?
|Your taxes are going up something fierce.
|Well, let's be honest. It's the Washington Redskins. They had something like this coming to them sooner or later.
|AUGH! NO! What!? Why?!
|I don't...know. I don't think anyone knows. It was a bunch of people on both sides fighting and now we have a deal that nobody's really happy with, and everyone's paying more money.
|A lot of people seem to think Mike Shanahan waited a little too long to pull RG3 out of the game.
|A lot of people think that John Boehner waited a little too long to...heh...heh heh..."Boehner."
|Long term? RG3 will be fine. He's expected to make a full recovery.
|So what are the long term implications?
|Hell if I know. But it sounds like the deficit will reduce, so...it's better?
|If RG3's recovery is delayed, you're stuck with the respectable - but severely non-thrilling - Kirk Cousins.
|And the short term implications?
|You have less money to drink your face off at Kirk Cousin-led games.
We'll just call it a tie

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — As Michael Gellerman walked off the 18th green Sunday afternoon, the Championship Flight of the Westwood Invitational already in his bag, the rising Oklahoma junior, likely destined for the Sooner top five when the college golf season begins again in the fall, was shaking his head.
"He's my best friend," Gellerman said of the player he clipped by a stroke for the title, Austin Fuller. "But we still want to beat each other as bad as anything."
Just not like this.
Gellerman three-putted the final hole for a bogey 5, an unfortunate end to his final-round 68 and his winning 201 total.
The three-putt opened the door for Fuller, who had five or six feet coming back to the hole for his own two-putt. Needing to make it to force a playoff, Fuller left the ball on the cup's front right lip.
"I wish both of us would have made birdie," Gellerman said.
So he was shaking his head. Conflicted. Though happy to win, he didn't want to see his buddy lose that way.
"I'll always root for this guy," Gellerman said.
It was just one scene from the three days and 54 holes that made up the Westwood Invitational.
It is part top flight golf tournament, part reunion, part cookout and part happy hour. And it's still the state's largest stroke play event.
Gellerman became the first current Sooner golfer to win it and you hope he comes back to defend, very possibly about a month after appearing at the 2014 NCAA championship.
It would be great, but not required, for the tourney is self-sustaining, be it by the handful of first-year players who finally choose to give it a whirl, or by the tourney's lifeblood, the repeaters, some of whom go back decades.
Mark Crabtree is one of those who goes back decades.
He's 52 years old, graduated from Norman High in 1979, won a national championship at Cameron, in 1983, along with former NHS teammate Richard Ryden (and Freddie Wisdom, too, a two-time Westwood Invitational champion, though he hasn't been in the field for a few years).
And the best thing about Crabtree, a professional golf instructor, who's traveled the world teaching the game, and now does it for MetaGolf, in the Denver area, is the figure he cuts.
He carries his own bag, plays without a glove, but with a watch and a couple of rings on his left wrist and fingers. Like, as long as his clubs are in the car, he's ready to play.
He carries his own bag!
"I don't play well in a cart," he said. "It's hurry up and wait."
He doesn't play much, period. Crabtree said he was lucky if he gets in a couple rounds a month. At least he's on the practice tee, almost every day, tutoring somebody.
He finished second in 2001 and third in 2002 and 2003.
Sunday, Crabtree placed eighth after coming in at 212.
"This is where I grew up," he said.
There was one more scene Sunday. All at the same time, it was not a part of the Westwood Invitational and all about the Westwood Invitational.
The tournament was over. The brisket, potato salad and beer had been taken away. All the out-of-town winners and placers had cashed in their pro-shop credit.
The scores were still up and that was about it when Ann Harcourt, accompanied by Cheryl Stucker Carpenter and Jae Carpenter appeared at the course.
Ann is Ron Stucker's widow. Cheryl is Ron Stucker's sister and Jae is Ron Stucker's brother in law.
Ron was the Westwood Invitational. Of the event's first 32 incarnations, he directed, coordinated and, really, hosted 30 of them, only missing 1977 and '94, and only missing the last one because he took his Ann to see Eagles in Dallas for their "Hell Freezes Over" tour.
Stucker died in 2008.
Late Sunday evening, Harcourt brought his ashes to the course.
"It's five years and I'm ready to celebrate his life in a way," she said, "that to this point I haven't been emotionally ready to do."
Harcourt said Stucker was unbearably shy, but Westwood "was a place that allowed him to shine."
It was a sweet ending to three days of good golf, good friends, good food and good times.
Next year, they'll do it again.


text: In Week 4 of "Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars," we were treated to an extra score and a little bit of slapstick courtesy of special guest judge Paula Abdul. The former Laker girl, choreographer and "American Idol" mainstay straight up lent her epic reality TV show critiques to the "DWTS" all-star world. She stated that this was more like Week 14 rather than Week 4, asked where Simon and Randy were ("I want to be Randy," Len Goodman pitched in), threw down a challenge for dancers to get outside their comfort zone and became fast friends with Bruno Tonioli. I'm forever your girl, Paula. Can't wait for you and Bruno to have your own spinoff variety show. Please continue to touch him so I can tell you how I feel.

Quote:Is this done using eqmod, or the supplied controller ?If you are comparing using eqmod, it's not really a valid comparison of 'what was supplied'. I'm actually quite interested in how well it runs 'out of the box', ie, do a 3 star align, then wander around the sky seeing how close the goto accuracy is, using the supplied electronics.
Quote:Great reporting so far, thanks for sharing the info on your mount. I have been wondering how the EQ-8 compares to the EQ-6 size-wise. I currently have an EQ-6 Pro/Atlas in my observatory and am interested in upgrading to the EQ-8 when it becomes available over here in North America. Specifically, I am wondering how much taller the EQ-8 is from base to highest point in park compared to the EQ-6? Just kind of curious to see how much I would have to modify my current pier and rat cage. Thanks again!
Clear Skies,
The motor controller on the AZ-EQ6 and the EQ8 are using 3.3V logic, and in the future, all our new motor controller will use 3.3V logic, too. But we have made sure that the communication interface is +5V tolerant and the new motor controllers will be compatible with the old SynScan hand control. The EQMOD user should make sure that their adapter can receive 3.3V serial input signal reliably.

Harlequins have confirmed that back-row Tom Guest will leave the club at the end of the current season to join London Irish.
Guest will make the short trip from Twickenham to Sunbury to link up with the Exiles on a two-year deal.
Guest came through the Harlequins Academy and made his debut in 2005. He recently played his 200th game for the London side against Cardiff Blues when he also captained the team. He has scored 26 tries over the course of his eight-year career at the club.
The twenty-nine year old has also represented England Saxons in the Churchill Cup games in 2008 and 2009 as well as being named in the squad to face Italy A in February 2008. He also competed in the 2007 Dubai Sevens for England.
"Tom has been one of Harlequins' great servants having recently celebrated his 200th game," said Harlequins Director of Rugby Conor O'Shea.
"I know he is committed to going out on a high this season with the club that will always be his. We would love to have kept Tom for his entire career but the nature of managing a squad within the imposed salary cap regulations involves both accounting for the players you already have and developing personnel within each position."
"I have been at Quins for 12 years and had a great time throughout," said Guest.
"I'd like to thank all the coaches and everybody at the club, with a special mention to Collin Osborne who has been there for me since I was 18 and has done so much for me.
"It was a really hard decision to go, but I am looking forward to the next stage of my career and a new challenge at London Irish.
"Moving to Irish Irish offers a new challenge and I am relishing being part of the new exciting vision that my new club expounds. There is still plenty of rugby to be played this season before moving to Sunbury and that will be my immediate focus."
Irish boss Brian Smith expressed his delight at securing the Premiership-winning forward, who will add huge experience to the Exiles' pack.
"Tom is a title-winning Premiership player with a wealth of experience who has bought into what we want to achieve at this club," said Smith.
"He will be a great addition to our club for two next seasons and yet another key player in London Irish's aspirations to challenge for silverware in the future."

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo paid a special visit to the Klein family in Pleasantville today.
The governor was in town to symbolically sign the bill that makes the for state municipalities and schools into law, effective fiscal year 2012.
Gov. Cuomo chose Westchester for the occasion—the highest-taxed county in the state and second highest in the country—while Russell and Tara Klein and their four sons played host for the afternoon.
"The governor's office called me yesterday and asked if they could use our front lawn to sign the property tax cap," explained Russell Klein, who added both County Legislator John Nonna and State Senator Andrea-Stewart Cousins were also on the call. "I said I'd be honored."
According to a statement from the governor's office, Westchester homeowners pay an average of $8,474 in property taxes annually, while the national average is $1,917 and the state median is $3,755.
Many local governments and school districts have been critical of the bill, which some have said needs to be coupled with strong mandate relief to be viable, in order to offset rising costs and unfunded mandates.
Cuomo said the law will force local governments "to live within their means."
Under the new law, school districts can propose budgets that carry a tax rate increase of more than 2 percent only if 60 percent of voters agree to override the law, "because we want the odds in favor of the taxpayer this time," said Cuomo.
"I agree with everything the governor expressed," Klein said. "But I think we still need to figure out the school part." Two of Klein's four sons are still students in the Pleasantville School District and his wife is active on many educational committees.
Exceptions to the law are as follows, according to the statement:
- Judgments or court orders arising out of tort actions that exceed 5 percent of the localities' levy
- Certain growth in pension costs where the system's average rate increases by more than 2 percentage points from the previous year; the amount of contributions above the 2 percentage points will be excluded from the limit
- Growth in tax levies due to economic development
"This is going to end the madness, finally, once and for all," said Cuomo.
Responding to questions about mandate relief and whether the cap actually solves the issue of rising tax burdens, Cuomo said: "From the home owner's perspective, this is the full equation."
Local and school officials who argue against state mandates, "have a point," Cuomo said. "We're working to do even more to decrease the burden."

The pair of hikers was trying to emulate the "Into the Wild" film in which a dumb ass kid dies in the wilderness.
Two hikers, including one from Illinois, have been rescued in the Alaska wilderness after visiting the bus made famous in the Sean Penn-directed movie "Into the Wild."
Apparently the two knuckle-head hikers didn't see the film about a man who went into the wilderness despite being woefully unprepared.
Troopers said the two were wearing only street clothes and had little food when they were found.
The "magic bus" gained fame after a young adventurer Christopher McCandless hiked out to it and died in an adventure chronicled in "Into the Wild."
The hikers were identified as 19-year-old Donald Carroll from Illinois and 21-year-old Jia Long He from China.
The Anchorage Daily News reports they were cold and wet after being rescued by helicopter Monday, but OK.

Man, I got spoiled with short programs being at 5:15 a.m.
I'll be missing dance.
If I wasn't working early on Friday, I'd be watching...I find it easier to stay up late then to go to bed and get up early (3 or 4am). Ugh, just no. Either way, I have to be up at 5am anyway so I'm not missing any sleep, lol.
Good luck to all the dance teams, especially the Shibs because I want them to have an awesome result and prove the haterz wrong.
Congrats to our US Worlds team!!! They once again secured 3 placements for the US.
Chock/Bates finished in 5th with a score of 167.59
Shibs finished in 6th with a score of 158.57
Aldridge/Eaton finished in 17th with a score of 137.47
And good news for all the Shibs fans, in the IN recap article they confirmed they will remain with Zoueva and compete next season!!
"Next year starts right away for us," he said. "We have a great team of coaches around us; we really trust Marina. I know we are going to come up with some great stuff over the next four years."
Besides, is there even a world-class coach they could go to? The leading ice dance schools in North-America right now are Novi and DSC. To Krylova they can't go, because she already trains W/P and H/D. Shpilband would probably not take them because of C/B. There isn't really much the Shibutanis can do.
I wonder if the Shibs would even consider moving out of Michigan.
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
Leaving Michigan would be a big decision, but they need to make some kind of game-changing move. The writing has been on the wall for over 2 years now.
I don't think that the Shibs would ever leave Michigan. Didn't they make the switch to Canton because they wanted the opportunity to study at a good school and also have world class training?
First, I am just happy they are continuing. I really like them!! I think a factor in how long they stick with Marina will be if they truly become her #1 team. After playing second fiddle to D/W and V/M (even though the Shibs seem to really be friends with both teams), if Marina gains a world ranked team and once again the Shibs are backburnered, that might rankle them enough to leave her.
I, too, am happy they're continuing. Any chance Marina would let them get choreography elsewhere??

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The tragic accident involving a Veterans Day parade float and a 67-mile-per-hour freight train in Midland, Texas, this past week makes us even more aware of the trains passing through downtown Norman during parades.
Two annual parades — the 89er Day parade in the spring and the Christmas parade in December — cross the tracks on Main Street. Organizers, working with Norman police, coordinate with the railroad to hold trains from coming through during the parade.
Christmas parade chairman Ed Copelin said the tragedy in Midland weighs heavily on the organizers. He is appreciative of the monumental effort that goes into the planning by the police and the railroad. Only once in his memory did an approaching train cause the parade to stop clear the tracks.
In Midland, four wounded veterans who were on the float hit by the train were killed and 16 others were injured. The parade was to start a weekend of banquets, shopping and deer hunting to honor veterans. Local parades have changed routes in previous years. One year, the parade began at Sooner Mall and ended at Norman High. That might be an option for organizers to consider as more details come out about the Texas tragedy.

DURHAM — Duke Universitys athletic department has received another $10 million gift the second in two months time.
The latest is from David Rubenstein, vice chairman of the Duke trustee board and a 1970 Duke graduate. Rubenstein is a co-founder and managing director of The Carlyle Group, a global alternative asset manager.
Rubenstein, of Bethesda, Md., is a longtime giver to his alma mater. Earlier this year, he donated $15 million to Dukes entrepreneurship initiative. Last year, he gave $13.6 million for the universitys rare book collection, which now bears his name. In the past decade, he has donated more than $10 million to Dukes Sanford School of Public Policy.
Dukes athletic department had never received a $10 million gift before this year. But since October there have been two Rubensteins and another from Dr. Steven Scott and his wife, Rebecca Scott, of Boca Raton, Fla., whose gift will support a new building for ticket offices, a team store and training rooms.
The sizable donations will count toward Dukes multi-year, $3.25 billion fundraising campaign for the entire university. Of that total goal, $250 million is the target for Duke athletics. The money would be used for facilities, operations and invested funds.
Duke President Richard Brodhead, in announcing the gift, said, The breadth of David Rubensteins interests at Duke is matched only by the depth of his generosity. We are grateful for the many extraordinary ways he has supported Dukes highest priorities and enriched the student experience.
Rubenstein is one of 92 billionaires to take the Giving Pledge, stating that hell give half his wealth to philanthropy. The push was started by Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates. Melinda Gates is also a Duke alumnus.
Rubenstein serves on the boards of the Smithsonian Institution, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Chicago, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the Kennedy Center and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Because of his generosity, the public can view a rare copy of the Magna Carta, which he purchased in 2007 and loaned to the National Archives in Washington. This year, he gave $13.5 million to the archives for a new gallery and visitors center.

Rebecca Soni celebrates after winning gold and setting a new world record time of 2:19.59 in the Women's 200m Breaststroke Final on Day 6 of the London Games.
New Jersey native Rebecca Soni won Olympic gold Thursday in dramatic fashion breaking her own day-old world record in the Women's 200M Breaststroke.
The Plainsboro native became the first woman to break the 2:20 mark when she touched the wall in 2:19.59.
Soni won the same event at the 2008 Olympics.
For Soni it was redemption in her specialty after she finished second to Lithuanian teen sensation Ruta Meilutyte in the Women's 100-Meter.
Soni, who set the world record Wednesday night still could medal in the Women's 4X100M Medley Relay this weekend.

13. Re: Are You Still Geting Major Lag?pazuzu16 May 16, 2012 12:02 PM (in response to 1Re78GS234)
yes i do and it has gotten worse

So it sounds like you and ERROR_6 are actually not fiber to the home. Cable providers are able to claim they have a fiber optic network while no real rollout to the home has happened yet with any of them. This is my point behind marketing needing some moderation in todays services.
Another issue with this practice is that along the line they convert the signal from a fiber medium to running on a copper core medium... IMPOSSIBLE.
My biggest suggestion would again be to look into forming a fiber optic co-op in your area. Other than that, your kinda stuck with the lie they hid in clever marketing practice. I feel very bad for those people in those shoes.
While some may be expereinceing lag that might (and this is slim) be connected to the game, its usually a signal thing.
@ERROR_6 Same advice as far as the co-op. A huge benefit is, just like with food co-ops, the consumers/employees actually own a part in the network. This gives us, the consumer, much more say in how they handle themselves... another reason some officials dont want this type of thing.
For more information, I would suggest browsing this site:

But the issue still isn't on my end. I have high speeds and high bandwidth or else I wouldn't be able to do all it is I can do. The problem lies with terrible match making and a "leech" like hosting system
16. Re: Are You Still Geting Major Lag?1Re78GS234 May 16, 2012 12:06 PM (in response to Frank2069)
This could be the other reason; as we know though this game and our consoles are perfectly safe and cant be hacked (Id add a sarcastic emoticon but for some reason my AV blocks the script)... Im glad even my elderly mother understand how ignoarant and arrogant that thought really is. Why a trained Computer Science major would try to make this claim is WAAAYYY beyond comprehension.
17. Re: Are You Still Geting Major Lag?1Re78GS234 May 16, 2012 12:09 PM (in response to ghamorra)
If your on cable, remeber that you 'share' a complete bandwidth and peak usage times can create a load of crap. This is the benefit that dedicated DSL and fiber like my own bring to the table...
If you live in a neighborhood where others are doing the same then you can see why this would affect the overall throughput for everyone on your chain to the node. Cable really blows in that respect, not to mention is a HUGE security issue as one can still ebay a router to 'decrypt' the others on a line. But dont expect cable to take responsibility in that area...
18. Re: Are You Still Geting Major Lag?dafonz300 May 16, 2012 12:12 PM (in response to jeffcarlb)
This is my issue on a nightly basis as well. I can go huge one game and just when I start to feel good, the game flips the switch and the game is unplayable all of a sudden. I too have the best connection I can buy but unfortunately it's not enough
19. Re: Are You Still Geting Major Lag?gambit1969 May 16, 2012 12:15 PM (in response to 1Re78GS234)
Fibre to home aside with the speed i have i should not be having the massive lag issues in the game.
I dont have speed issues with anything else, i am with the fastest provider in the country(Ireland by the way).
There are thousands of posts here complaining about lag in the game, for some people its much worse than for others and they are from gamers all over the world so the fault can hardly be with everybodies isp. some maybe but not all..

The Mayor's Desk
Carolyn Kirk
---- — Every so often, the issue comes up as to when to use the emergency messaging system we refer to as Code Red.
The last two times we've used it, we used it to declare snow emergencies and parking bans. However, when both those snow events didn't produce forecasted results, we did not use Code Red to lift the parking bans, and we've gotten quite a few questions as to why.
Basically, Code Red is an extremely powerful tool. When we launch a Code Red call, it goes to almost 15,000 residents. We have been very disciplined about using it only for times when action on the part of the citizen is required. We do not use it as an information service.
Given its reach, inevitably we are awakening people who may be ill, have sleeping babies, or who have a sleep schedule themselves outside of a traditional schedule. Because we use it for those instances when action is required on the part of the citizen, we never want people to become immune to the Code Red system by overusing it for information-only calls.
For example, we used Code Red this past summer as the threat of mosquito-borne illnesses came closer to Gloucester. We used Code Red to alert the residents about the city imposed ban on all activity on city playing fields, and inform people about the actions that they could take by giving precautions from our public health director.
Another example of when resident action was needed was a few summers ago when there was a severe heat wave impacting the power supply to Gloucester. National Grid asked us if we could enlist citizen help to conserve energy due to the risk of interrupting power supply to the Blackburn Industrial Park, hospital, nursing homes, etc.
We launched a Code Red and asked citizens to conserve energy, and provided a list of very practical things they could do. Within an hour of the Code Red call, National Grid was reporting to us that they could see an immediate and dramatic reduction in energy use based on the actions our residents took.
Some people have made the argument that we should use Code Red to alert people to get a flu shot, or to let them know about the free flu clinics that the city hosts. Given the severity of the flu this year, this was something that we considered. However, the number of doses available compared to our database led me to conclude that we could never meet the potential demand that might be stimulated from a Code Red call.
Residents must rely on traditional information sources and common sense, rather than Code Red. When you get a Code Red call, we are asking you to take action: "move your car;" "boil your water;" "stay off city fields after 5 p.m. and take precaution against mosquitoes;" "conserve power to avert a crisis."
Heaven forbid we would need to launch a Code Red in the middle of the night for something like an emergency evacuation. There can be no question that when you get that Code Red call, we mean business.
So how will you know the parking ban has been lifted early? The blue lights will go off (yes, we still use those). We will post on the city website. We will inform the Gloucester Daily Times, and hopefully they will push out to their readers. We will let the Chamber of Commerce know, and they will post on their website, and their Facebook page.
Continue to rely on your traditional sources of information.
From the mayor's desk, the fewer Code Red calls the better.
Carolyn Kirk is mayor of the city of Gloucester.

At the heart of downtown Glenview is a very big sandwich. No, it's more like a sandwich within a sandwich. Or a sandwich within two sandwiches. Either way, the Ultimate BLT at Glenview House is not your lunch box PB&J, that's for sure.
On one side, you have a grilled cheese sandwich. On the other side, another grilled cheese sandwich. Plus a half-pound of bacon, lettuce, tomato and homemade mayonnaise in the middle.
Locals call it the anti-resolution sandwich, and legend has it that the restaurant will add an egg to the mix if you toss in an extra dollar.
You might want to tackle this one with a friend. Probably one who likes sandwiches. At $11, plus tax, it's a rather fair-priced meal considering the 14.5 ounce sandwich packs 2640 calories. And the look on nearby people's faces as you get the carbed up dish is priceless.
The Ultimate BLT is only available until Jan. 31. Glenview House is located at 1843 Glenview Rd.

The Barren County Fiscal Court did not pass a motion Tuesday night to publish all Barren County Detention Center records of private investigator Michael J. Ober on the Barren County government's website, after the court was split on a 4-4 vote.
Magistrate Chris Steward proposed the motion to publish Mike Ober's records at the end of Tuesday's regular meeting. Steward had requested to be put on the agenda "to address issues relating to jail and jailer." Before he started, Judge-Executive Davie Greer asked Steward whether the fiscal court could do anything about what he wanted to discuss, and when he said yes, she told him he had four minutes to make his point.
Steward began by explaining that he has always been against the release of the Ober records, both because the FBI asked the court to prevent the release and because he feared those who were interviewed by Ober might be harassed or hurt if their interviews were made public. Now that the county lost the open records battle against the Glasgow Daily Times in court, Steward said the records, including audio recordings, documents and typed interview notes, should be published on the county government's website for all to see.
"The horse is out of the barn now," Steward said after the meeting.
Copies of Ober's records have been distributed to media outlets and individuals who made open records requests for the material, as well as the members of the fiscal court.
