---- — We're pulling very hard for all the parties involved in trying to acquire funding to keep independent North Country movie theaters in business.
Technology, which impels so many improvements in our lives, can also doom certain established elements, which unfortunately happens to be the case with some local movie outlets.
For many people, life without movies is unthinkable. The local movie house fills a lot of holes in our comings and goings. Some local theaters are also the site of local shows, benefit events and and other offerings.
Families can attend movies together to cement relationships in an increasingly fragmenting society. Parents can also be sure that, if their kids are at the movies, they aren't out on the streets getting into mischief.
But the local independent theaters, which offer so much to positively influence our quality of life, are in trouble because of technological advances. Films being distributed these days come in digital form, which is good for the distributors but bad for the theater owners who don't have the needed equipment.
The long and the short of it is that each of the 13 theaters in the region that are affected by this upgrade are going to have to invest $100,000 to accommodate the change or perish.
Small businesses — particularly theaters, which are typically operating close to the margin to begin with — can't be expected to pony up that kind of money just to stay even. The investment in digital doesn't promise new profit levels. It merely enables the exhibitors to stay where they are.
If they were to accept money from distributors for the upgrades, they would be bound to show certain films. We value the independence of local theaters to make choices that might not match what major studios are pushing.
The theaters are banding together to increase their individual influence, as well as enlisting the endorsement and help of organizations with power and money. The Adirondack Film Society is acting as an umbrella for the 13 theaters and has summoned the aid of the North Country Economic Development Council, which hopes to again secure state money for a number of local projects.
For anyone who has missed our stories on the initiative, of the 13 theaters, five are in our three counties: the Strand in Plattsburgh, the Hollywood in AuSable Forks, the Strand in Schroon Lake, the Palace in Lake Placid and the State in Tupper Lake. Others are in Queensbury, Massena, Potsdam and Canton.
Keeping these theaters open promises access to other than first-run movies, which broadens our entertainment menu.
We fully support this group's efforts and will eagerly report on their progress.

SALEM -- Oregon Health & Science University has paid a $12,000 fine following the deaths of five monkeys and the escape of nine others from the Oregon National Primate Research Center in 2009.
University officials said Tuesday they agreed to a settlement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and paid the fine earlier this year. A group opposed to animal testing called the fine "paltry."
Two monkeys died from dehydration when a new water system didn't work at the Hillsboro research center. Three others died from drug errors.
Nine monkeys escaped from their cages after a worker forgot to latch a door to an outdoor cage, and the last wasn't captured until two days later.
OHSU officials say they've retrained staff, built new fencing and taken other steps to ensure the mistakes aren't repeated.

I chose Rashad for his speed. At first I was going to go with Chael because Rashad's a small LHW and even cutting to 185 he's at a size disadvantage to Chael. But I believe that his wrestling skills, although not as good as Chaels, mixed in with his speed and ability to mix things up well would be his ticket to a UD.
Rashad takes this. He could easily make 185. He may have gone down if he didnt have too much success at lhw. He still may depending on what happens in his next fights.
Rashad could get chael down or try to keep it standing. He would really put it to chael standing. He is faster, has more power, and better skill. Chael is one of the best wrestlers in mma but doesnt have the best tdd himself. He has been taken down a lot in his career. Wrestling in mma is different, speed and explosiveness pays off a lot more. That is why gsp has the best takedowns in mma. Once you get in deep enough on a double and have positioning, it doesnt matter how good you are your going down. GSP can grind for a takedown as good as anybody but makes his mark by getting off the shot quick so there is no defense.

Over the past two decades, Americans have experienced a significant evolution in their understanding and cultural acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender lives.
Consequently, media coverage of gay and lesbian issues (and increasingly, bisexual and transgender issues) has moved beyond simplistic political dichotomies and toward more fully realized representations not only of the diversity of our community, but also of our lives, our families, and our fundamental inclusion in the fabric of American society.

Top institutes offering online bachelor's courses in the US
The US news recently published a list of top ranked institutes that offer top-class online bachelor's degree programs. Out of 961 institutions, that responded to the survey invites, only 194 of them, offered online learning programs. Rankings were given on the basis of student engagement and assessment, student services and technology and faculty credentials and training. A certain list of information was requested to be furnished by the institutes where some of the major questions asked were regarding the interaction level, length of the program and if at least 80% of the content was accessible to the students enrolling for a course.
The standards for the study varied on the basis on which the institutes were ranked. Tools like weekly office hours, instructor response timings and student login track records kept by the faculty was used to rank the colleges that served best student engagement and assessment facilities. While career placement, smartphone apps and the likes were used as standards to rank institutes on the basis of student services and technology, faculty credentials and training rankings were based invariably on experience in online teaching, requirement of online teaching training and training finances.
Mentioned below are the top five institutes under each ranking criteria:
Student Engagement and assessment
Student services and technology
Faculty credentials and training

Like an ancient relic found frozen in the thawing Oklahoma ice, Blanchard's semifinal match up with Plainview is precious.
The build up to what's poised to be an epic battle has been delayed by winter's icy grip, and it now must be handled with extra care as both teams come off a bye week neither thought they would have. While the date has changed, the goal remains the same for a Lions team that has been here before.
"This year, we know what's coming," head coach Jeff Craig said of his team's second state semifinal trip in two years. "But, it all boils down to the same thing. It looks like this is going to be our biggest challenge."
Relatively speaking, this postseason has been a cakewalk for the Lions up to this point. They've only let up 26 points while scoring a combined 159, and a lot of that has come from Braden Stringer and a running game that has steadily improved, if that was even possible.
"In the first couple of games, we were just getting used to it and everyone was just getting in the motion," quarterback Blake Owen said. "These last couple of games, we've been clicking. It's easy to run behind that big line."
It seems like an eternity since Stringer put up over 300 yards and six touchdowns against Lincoln Christian in the last round, but there's little chance Plainview have forgotten.
"Staying engaged in our blocks is pivotal to us moving the football," Craig said. "They get a lot of guys to the ball."
The most points the Indians gave up in a single game this season was 14, and it happened twice: once against Lone Grove and once against Tuttle. As the player that will most likely receive the lion's share of Plainview's attention, Stringer said he has faith in the experienced offensive line to open up the field.

*NSYNC (sometimes stylized as 'N Sync) was an American boy band. Formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995 and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich, *NSYNC consisted of JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick and became the second highest selling boyband of all-time (behind the Backstreet Boys). The group released its American first single, "I Want You Back" on January 20, 1998. It reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. An album called "*NSYNC" followed on March 24, 1998. Album sales were sluggish, debuting at #82 on the Billboard 200. The group released its second single, "Tearin' Up My Heart", in April of that same year. It was the top of radio airplay...

By BRAD KELLAR
Herald-Banner Staff
The National Weather Service offers the following tips on staying safe in the event of a severe thunderstorm:
— If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. Go to safe shelter immediately!
— Move to a sturdy building and stay away from windows. Do not take shelter in small sheds, under isolated trees, or in convertible automobiles. If a sturdy shelter is not available, get inside a hard top automobile and keep windows up. Beware, though, since vehicles offer poor protection from downburst winds and only fair protection from hail.
— Get out of boats and away from water.
— Unplug appliances not necessary for obtaining weather information. Avoid using the telephone or any electrical appliances. Use phones ONLY in an emergency.
If caught outdoors and no shelter Is nearby:
— Find a low spot away from trees, fences, and poles. Make sure the place you pick is not subject to flooding.
— If you are in the woods, take shelter under the shorter trees.
— If you feel your skin tingle or your hair stand on end, squat low to the ground on the balls of your feet. Make yourself the smallest target possible, and minimize your contact with the ground.
— If you are boating or swimming, get to land and find shelter immediately!

New Canaan's was accredited this summer with a prestigious and rare award that recognizes its deep expertise in tequila.
Since its founding almost twenty years ago, Tequila Mockingbird has become renowned throughout Fairfield County for its "Margarita Original." The restaurant's commitment to tequila however goes well below its signature cocktail. Believing that understanding everything about tequila is essential to providing good service at his restaurant, Dallas "Paul" Mauk, chef-owner of Tequila Mockingbird, involved his entire staff in the mission of earning the CRT Award T certification.
Created by the Tequila Regulatory Council (Consejo Regulador del Tequila in Spanish, or CRT), the Award T was created in 2003 to recognize establishments interested in the true culture of tequila. Here is how Florina Martinez, the Deputy Representative of the Tequila Regulatory Council in Washington D.C., explained the award's significance:
"Our CRT Award T Program certification is designed to protect the authenticity of tequila and promote a full understanding of tequila's sophistication and variety. We believe that knowledge is power. In order for a restaurant to be certified, all personnel involved in the service of tequila must undergo an in-depth course and a comprehensive exam. The course covers the harvesting of Agave plants in the fields of appellation of origin, the fermentation and distillation process. All together, the program imparts a higher level of appreciation for tequila."
In the quest of the CRT certification, Mauk has gone to great lengths to provide a full tequila education to his staff. First, earlier this year he sent his two veteran bartenders, Jason Geane and Ryan Gillespie, to Guadalajara in Mexico to witness first-hand the tequila cultivation production methods.
Then, in May, Mauk brought CRT Washington personnel to New Canaan to conduct a two-day training course with Tequila Mockingbird's entire wait staff, which culminated in the CRT Award T test. The staff passed with flying colors -- earning the CRT Award certification for Tequila Mockingbird, and making the New Canaan restaurant the only restaurant in New England and one of only twenty restaurants in the country with this recognition.
As Paul Mauk elaborated " We take tequila seriously at our restaurant. We carry one of the largest selections of Tequila on the East Coast -- more than 250 kinds of tequila. Just as a sommelier helps with wine selection, we think it's important for our bartenders and servers to educate and guide our customers in choosing the best tequila that matches their tastes. Surprising to many people, selecting and drinking tequila is a complex and refined process."
For those that want to see the award, it hangs in the entrance of Tequila Mockingbird. Tequila novices and connoisseurs and those who will appreciate wonderful Mexican cuisine and a great ambiance are welcome to visit Tequila Mockingbird at 6 Forest Street. Call for a reservation at 203-966-2222.

Linguistics. It just isn't a sexy discipline. But mention the name Noam Chomsky, and suddenly people are interested in what you're doing.
It's easy to forget Chomsky is a linguist, since most people only know him as a political darling of the left. But the 82-year-old is still an academic; despite his emeritus status at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he still teaches, and he still holds biweekly office hours—although good luck stopping by unannounced. It took a week and a half to schedule my 15-minute phone conversation, a timetable to which I am told I must strictly adhere, as I was squeezed into his schedule with great effort.
On Tuesday, Chomsky will squeeze a visit to Knoxville into his schedule when he gives a lecture at the University of Tennessee. (And yes, it will be on politics, not linguistics—we asked.) The school has moved the event from its originally scheduled location to Cox Auditorium to accommodate the expected crowd—over 800 people have RSVPed on Facebook that they will be attending, some even driving from Cincinnati!—so get there early.
One of the biggest topics after the tragic shooting in Arizona is whether rhetoric can actually inflame actions. What are your thoughts about this?
I think we all know that inflammatory rhetoric can have an effect on people's actions. Whether it affected this particular person, I don't know. Wouldn't be surprised. But a general atmosphere of anger or threats, denunciation, vilification—that has to have an effect on how people perceive things.
Do you think the calls to limit inflammatory rhetoric are out of bounds or reasonable?
I don't think it can be limited by state action. We don't want to introduce state censorship. One of the real achievements of American democracy is that there is a very high level of protection of freedom of speech. That's something that we should preserve. But I think that there are many other ways to turn towards a more civilized discourse—instead of hysterical denunciation.
How do you think we could move toward that?
That's a matter of our choice as to how to act and how to induce other people to act.
There's angry rhetoric coming from the tea party, which has had huge political gains. Do you think it's possible for the left to adopt similar tactics and succeed politically?
Well, first of all we should be clear about the facts. There is a left in the country, but it barely appears in the public domain. What's called "the left" is actually centrist. The Democratic Party is called the left—that's a centrist, business-dominated party, not identical to the Republicans, but not very different from them. The left, such as it is, is essentially marginalized, has no voice in the media or public discussion.
But for the "true left," would tea party tactics work?
Some of the things the tea party is doing are exactly the right things, in my opinion. We should be organizing people to confront the real problems of society, and they are very severe. I think the tea party's choices of action are very seriously misguided and are only increasing the problems. But to organize people to deal with the plight in which they find themselves, sure, that's exactly what democracy's about, and that's what the left ought to be doing.
Over the years you've become a cultural icon. Is there a time you were referenced in pop culture that stands out to you as cool, or does all of that not interest you?
What interests me is having an opportunity to talk to people about things I think are important. It's true that those opportunities have been enhanced over the years. For example, when I began speaking publicly about general issues—the Vietnam War, the economy, and so on—I was talking to people in their living rooms, or, you know, a church with half-a-dozen people or something. ... Now the situation is so radically reversed—this morning, for example, I've already had to turn down probably a dozen requests for talks here or there. ... It's unfortunate. There are a great many people who could be doing these things, and who simply are not invited because they're unknown, people doing extremely good work.
Who are some of these people you're talking about?
Just today I've happened to read extremely good articles on these topics by Roger Bybee—by Paul Street, who ... now is the coauthor of a book on the tea party which is very good. ... On international affairs, Stephen Zunes is a very fine analyst, writing constantly, but rarely invited to give talks about things that are quite crucial, like what's happening in the Middle East, or in Tunisia.
I see that our time is up, but if I could ask one last quick question: When you are not teaching or speaking or writing or reading or all that, what do you like to do for fun?
Not very much, I'm afraid. Play with my grandchildren. But mostly I work.
Do you ever read for pleasure?
I do sometimes—not as much as I'd like to. The demands are just too heavy. Constant. Overwhelming. Just answering e-mail alone takes five or six hours a day, and that's the least of it.

I recently spent a Friday night doing one of my favorite things — seeing a chick flick in the theaters. Though highly predictable, Life As We Know It, starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel, was comical, uplifting, and charming (immoral scenes aside).
For those who aren't familiar with the movie, the plotline is simple: two single adults are given the joint custody of their best friends' infant daughter after they're killed in an accident.
Knowing nothing about child-rearing and bearing fierce animosity toward each another, Heigl and Duhamel lend comedy to a tragic situation. And like the unfolding of so many chick flicks, the viewer soon sees the spark of love between the two.
Spoiler alert (though no surprise to the viewer of the movie), near the end Duhamel is watching a video clip of the little girl take her first steps with Heigl in the background, cheering her on. Next to him in the airport terminal, an older woman tells him what a beautiful family he has.
Deep sigh.
The audience is hooked and they're rooting for this family to come together.
Only problem is Heigl and Duhamel never officially become a family, at least not in the way Catholics would define family. They do end up together, in love, and we see them celebrating their "daughter's" second birthday. But we never see them become husband and wife in any type of ceremony.
As a Catholic, this bothered me for obvious reasons but most especially because it's one more way Hollywood is attempting to influence culture. Subtle though it may seem, the lack of a wedding scene influences the viewer and sends a message that a marriage is not important when it comes to building a family.
That view is not uncommon, according to a recent study conducted by Pew Research Center.
The survey also finds striking differences by generation. In 1960, two-thirds (68%) of all twenty-somethings were married. In 2008, just 26% were. How many of today's youth will eventually marry is an open question. For now, the survey finds that the young are much more inclined than their elders to view cohabitation without marriage and other new family forms — such as same sex marriage and interracial marriage — in a positive light.
Even as marriage shrinks, family — in all its emerging varieties — remains resilient. The survey finds that Americans have an expansive definition of what constitutes a family. And the vast majority of adults consider their own family to be the most important, most satisfying element of their lives.
The study goes on to detail various findings and opinions in regards to marriage and family, including the general public's definition of family.
By emphatic margins, the public does not see marriage as the only path to family formation. Fully 86% say a single parent and child constitute a family; nearly as many (80%) say an unmarried couple living together with a child is a family; and 63% say a gay or lesbian couple raising a child is a family. The presence of children clearly matters in these definitions. If a cohabiting couple has no children, a majority of the public says they are not a family. Marriage matters, too. If a childless couple is married, 88% consider them to be a family.
I find this fascinating. The two components that constitute a family in the public's eye are also the two components necessary in a Catholic marriage — openness to life and unity in the sacramental bond (CCC 1604). And though they can be separated in the eyes of the public but still create a family, the fact that those are two defining elements of the definition of family make it clear: marriage and family are not as irrelevant as some would like to contend.
The Pew study stated it's unclear how many twenty-somethings will get married. Let's hope it's a lot.
With Catholic singles being at a record number, we have a chance to turn around the public view of marriage toward what it should be: one man and one woman, with an openness to life, in a committed and life-long bond.
After all, family was overwhelming one of the most important elements in the respondents' lives…as it should be!

I agree that the Catholic marriage has to be announced and done with a formal ceremony at the Catholic Church. We don't have to make an expensive wedding party. The Catholic ceremony for the marriage can be arranged inexpensively. Actually we need to get the value or the meaning of the ceremony to live as a couple forever.
The Devil runs Hollywood.
i believe the family as i remember it as a child sucks! the child was seen and not heard. the only thing i took from my growing up as a family unit was my religion and to never be or act like my "parents"! the 1st time i married was to get out of the house! Thank GOD we had no children. If i had lived with him for at least 1 yr…it probably would have lasted 2-6 mos., i would have never, ever married him least of all in the catholic church. yrs. down the road, i met a catholic man, married him, later got an annulment from the 1st marriage, had a beautiful catholic church wedding with my grandchildren in the wedding party. then…down the road…he cheated on me and GOD only knows how many times. we r still married but he continues to cheat on me with his "new family"…does anyone catch my drift? i suggest everyone think before they leap and never lose your faith!
As a senior, (age – 79 yrs,), I appreciated reading Meg McDonnell's article. It could have been titled the same as movie:," Life As We Know It.". – How sad society is when that title (ie:statment) fits the situation !!!
Meg researched her material well, & presented Catholic viewpoints on the dilemna in a manner assuming responsibility (of her age-group singles) & challenges her peers "to turn the public view of marriage around to what it should be – " one man & one woman with a openess to life, in a commited & life-long bond."
p.s.- would like to see a write-up about Pew Research Cenrer. (Only recently have heard of their being used on "Fox News".) -Iriishanna
"…….especially because it's one more way Hollywood is attempting to influence culture."
This is quite wrong. The opposite is true: in this movie, Hollywood is portraying the reality of modern American life. Many people don't see marriage as necessary (and who can blame them, given the outrageous number of divorces), but it is sad, because marriage is the best possible way of bringing love to full fruition.
I liked this movie, but agree it's moral value was lacking based on what it means to be a Catholic. And It's very easy for young people to "agree" with hype from media than it is for them to make their own choices based on how they feel deep down in their gut. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It's hard though because everyone wants to fall in love and get married… It's just the methods that keep thinning out in value.

The presidential and vice-presidential candidates duked it out preschool style; they whined, argued, gestured, and interrupted. And I wondered, what could be learned from the debates in order to prevent further childish antics in politics? I made a list for voters based on what I considered bad behavior.
1. Do not interrupt others.
Wait your turn. Didn't you learn anything from Grandma? Interrupting mid-sentence is bad etiquette. Next time the moderator should be prepared with a basket of goodies as a distraction for the candidates, like gummy bears, McDonaldland toys or a can of Play-Doh.
2. Don't show too much teeth.
Joe Biden, stop smirking and laughing open-mouthed at your opponent. And Paul Ryan, it wouldn't hurt you to show a tooth or two. I am sure your political advisors reminded you, "Keep your teeth in your mouth, or you'll look like a jerk." As a Patch reader, Talisa C., said best, "When Paul Ryan smiles…he looks a lot like Squidward (from SpongeBob SquarePants)." Smiles, everyone, smiles!
3. Stop talking when time is up.
When Jim Lehrer says, "Time is up," this means your turn is over. Be quiet and go back to your podium. There should be consequences for breaking the rules. First offense: issue a warning. Second offense: put in the naughty corner. Third offense: repeat time out procedure as often as necessary. Super Nanny knew what she was talking about.
4. Never avoid eye contact.
When you start to look the other way, Americans get suspicious. Is there someplace else you would rather be? Are you catching up on some reading? Picking a hangnail? It's downright rude not to look at the person talking. There is also a problem with too much eye contact. It makes you look aggressive. Look down once in awhile to break eye contact. Blink.
5. Refrain from quoting endless statistics.
Adding a bunch of numbers and statistics to everything you say does not make it true. Fortunately for the candidates, the average viewer will not take the time to double check the figures. Stop confusing thousands with millions, billions or even trillions. We may stop paying attention after the first billion.
Apply the lessons your learned in kindergarten to the debate, stuff like play fair, tell the truth and don't leave a mess. We all know the difference between right and wrong. Do our candidates?
"It doesn't matter what you say you believe - it only matters what you do."

WELLESLEY, Mass., The Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project invites the public to a forum at the Wellesley Free Library's Wakelin Room, Tuesday May 8th, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. This free event, co-sponsored by the Wellesley Free Library, is open to the public and includes informational resources. Coffee and dessert will be served.
Dr. Michael Rich, Mediatrician® and Director of the Center on Media and Child Health (CMCH) at Children's Hospital Boston, will offer insights and practical advice for how to optimize adolescent health in a media-saturated world. As a pediatrician, researcher, former filmmaker, and father of four, Dr. Rich is cognizant of how powerfully media affect child development, health, and behavior in both positive and negative ways.
In 2002, Dr. Rich founded the Center on Media and Child Health (CMCH), an interdisciplinary center of excellence in research, clinical interventions, and education on the effects of media on the physical, mental, and social health of children and adolescents. CMCH is developing and evaluating interventions to help children protect themselves from negative aspects of media, while still using and enjoying them.

Following Dr. Rich's presentation, Sara Frost Azzam, the President of Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project (WCPP), will address concerns and provide guidance regarding personal care products, chemicals and teenage health. In Europe over 1100 chemicals are banned from cosmetics. In the United States only 11 are.
Beauty may cost your teen more than you think. On any given day, we may use as many as 25 cosmetics or personal care products that contain more than 200 chemicals. Sara's presentation will help you learn about the safety of the products your teenager uses and how to find safer alternatives. Sara Frost Azzam, the mother of two teenage children herself, teaches at the Wellesley Middle School and has become an expert on safe cosmetics, lecturing most recently at Wellesley College.
The Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project (WCPP) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that studies the relationship between illness and the environment with the goal of reducing health risk factors for residents of Wellesley and surrounding communities.

Excitement Builds as Valpo Nears 2006 Kick-off
Tuesday, August 22, 2006As the 2006 football season kicks off for the Valparaiso University Crusaders, the Brown and Gold will look to embark upon their first winning season since 2003. Head coach Stacy Adams now has one full season of experience at the helm of the Valpo program and now appears ready to begin the climb up the Pioneer Football League standings.
Adams returns 33 letterwinners, including 11 starters, from 2005, a season which saw him take over the head job just days before the beginning of preseason. With most of his coaching staff returning, Adams has reenlisted the services of Sam Bernardi as defensive coordinator, a position he held with the Brown and Gold from 1991-2004. Also returning to the sidelines is assistant coach Rob Hanson, who was an assistant with Adams from 1996-2004. Brandon Sturman is the only truly new assistant coach for the Crusaders, and will help out the linebackers after closing out his playing career as an Honorable Mention All-PFL performer as a senior last season.
Valpo should have the opportunity to score some points in 2006 with five starters returning on the offensive side of the football. Under center, Ryan Doerffler started ten games last season before being sidelined with an injury for the finale. He completed nearly 53% of his pass attempts on the season, throwing for 1,408 yards and nine touchdowns. The redshirt-junior enters 2006 just 34 yards shy of 2,000 for his career. Behind Doerffler, Warren Arnold and Zack Denny will both battle for playing time. Arnold started the Aurora game last season, guiding the Crusaders to victory. On the year, he was 17-of-31 throwing the football. Denny also had a taste of collegiate football last season on the reserve team, and will look to make the move up this year.
Valpo's backfield will be called upon to help carry the load for the Crusaders this season. Senior Jeff Horton, a preseason Mid-Major All-American selection, enters the season needing just 158 yards to become the school's career rushing leader. As a junior, on his way to earning Mid-Major All-American and First Team All-Pioneer Football League honors, Horton set Valpo's single season rushing mark with 1,358 yards, including three 200-yard performances on the year. He found the end zone ten times on the ground in 2005, and caught three more scoring passes on his way to nearly 300 yards receiving as well.
At fullback, Mozelle McHenry and Kevin Folk both should see some action. Both made impacts last season, and are quality blockers as well as able to carry the ball occasionally.
On the outside, Valpo will have several quality targets at wide receiver that are capable of making the big catch. Steve Ogden is poised for a breakout season as the Crusaders' top returning receiver after chalking up 445 yards and two touchdowns last season. Ogden has big play capabilities, as he averaged 22.2 yards per catch in 2005.
Ben Faulkner and Jon Schwoegler also look to vie for a starting spot at wideout. Faulkner, a redshirt-junior, has seen limited action thus far in his career with the Brown and Gold. Schwoegler, a sophomore, appeared in the final two games of 2005 as a punt returner.
While the wide receiving corps may be inexperienced, Valpo's tight ends are anything but youthful. Brandon Bogenschutz and Pete Karamitos both had solid seasons for the Brown and Gold one year ago and will look to duplicate the feat this year. Both showed they are capable of catching the football, while also doing a solid job of blocking, both in passing and running situations. Karamitos hauled in his first career touchdown pass last season, and the duo will hope to be utilized again down near the goal line.
The key offensively for Valparaiso in 2006, though, may come down to the offensive line. The Crusaders have to replace a pair of All-PFL selections in Ryan Palonka and Steven Hlady. Mike Schilling is the only returning starter for the Brown and Gold, and will look to anchor the left tackle position once again this year. He started all 11 games last year after appearing in every contest in 2004 as well, only in a reserve role. Ryan Kozey will look to step in at the other tackle position for the Crusaders. The 6'8" sophomore appeared in nine games in a reserve role last season.
On the interior portion of the line, Brad Schaum and Adam Gregait will look to take over the guard positions after coming off of the bench last season. Gregait, a fifth-year senior, has experience on his side, while Schaum saw a great deal of action on special teams last season. The duo will have to battle Jake Jenrich and Justin Wiler for playing time though. Jenrich and Wiler both look to move up from the reserve team last year.
At center, Brett Barry should be set to snap the ball for the Crusaders in replace of Hlady. He will be called upon in a key role, however, as it will be up to the redshirt-junior to hold together the youthful line.
Defensively, the Crusaders will look to improve upon last season, when they gave up 38.5 points and 412.5 yards per contest. Valpo returns six starters while also regaining the services of Kyle Kater, who missed the entire 2005 season with a knee injury.
The Brown and Gold should be solid up front with three returnees on the defensive line. Honorable Mention All-PFL selection Jimmy Riker made 44 stops last season and has 111 career tackles in his three years so far with the Crusaders. He made 11 tackles for loss last year, including 6.5 sacks.
Doug Howard and Seungyeup Ro also help anchor the defensive line. Howard, a junior, made 31 tackles, including 6.5 for loss, recovered a pair of fumbles, and blocked two kicks for the Crusaders last year. Ro made 29 tackles for Valpo, starting every game at defensive tackle.
David Wright, Andrew Mack, Noah Schroeder, and Dominick Bellotte will also look to rotate in along the defensive line. All four saw action last season and will compete for even more playing time this year.
Valpo's linebacking corps should be solid in 2006. Ryan Koepke and Bryan Kuehn each return in starting roles which they earned during their rookie campaigns last year. Kopeke recorded 41 tackles while Kuehn brought down 42 ball carriers and picked off a pass.
Sean Dillon also had a solid freshman season last year and will patrol the middle along with Kater, who returns after redshirting last year with his injury. In 2004, Kater made 22 tackles and hopes to return to the same form again this year. Matt Mancl also saw a great deal of playing time as an outside linebacker last year, making 20 tackles, and returns for his second season after redshirting as a true freshman.
The Crusader secondary has some experience, however, the Brown and Gold return just one starter in defensive back Matt Watkins. Watkins is Valpo's leading returning tackler after making 49 stops one year ago.
Mike Montgomery will also look to step up at one of the corner positions while Reggie Hicks and Kyle Himmelwright will contend for playing time as well.
At the safety positions, Charlie Thompson and Jason Grunewald appear poised to get the starting nods, after filling in as backups last year. They, along with the rest of the defense, will need to step up big time to help keep the Crusaders close in many ball games.
Special Teams
Valpo will rely on youth in the kicking game this season following the graduation of Andrew McCawley, one of the top kickers in the program's history. Freshman Mike Krieg is slated to handle the place-kicking duties while fellow classmate Mitch Secrest should handle the punting.
In the return game, Horton will look to add to his all-purpose yard total as he is slated to handle kickoffs. He has handled them four times in his career thus far, while also returning nine punts last season. Himmelwright appears ready to handle the punt return duties for the Brown and Gold, the first time in his career he will have handled kicks.
The 2006 slate kicks off on September 2 at Wisconsin Lutheran. The Crusaders open at Brown Field the following Saturday against Trinity International before beginning Pioneer Football League play at Morehead State on September 16. Aurora will mark the end of the regular season at home on November 11. This year, the PFL has returned to a single division format, with every school playing each other for a total of seven league contests. The league champion will play the Northeast Conference winner in the first annual Gridiron Classic on November 18.
Everything appears to be set for a successful 2006 football campaign at Valparaiso. Improvement appears to be the order of business for the Brown and Gold, and with the talent on the roster, a successful season should be right around the corner.

According to Newsday [paid link], although no timetable has been set on when the layoffs would take place, Nassau budget director Eric Naughton told department officials to prepare lists of positions that can be cut.
In a memo, Naughton called for departments to cut 3.5 percent from their 2012 labor expenses, though he didn't detail the total savings.
The county executive spoke with Nassau Interim Finance Authority (NIFA) Chairman Ron Stack Monday with respect to the Legislature's failure to grant Mangano the authority to borrow $41 million to pay for tax refunds from 2011.
"NIFA and I developed a fiscal stabilization plan for Nassau that held the line on property taxes while ending the county's reliance on borrowing," Mangano said Monday before announcing the layoffs. "It's unfortunate that Democrat leaders derailed this plan and put politics ahead of our resident's best interests. Working together, NIFA and I will do all in our power to address today's actions in a responsible manner while protecting taxpayers."
In regards to the legislature's rejection of the $41 million borrowing plan, Newsday reported:
The vote was 10-9 along party lines. Because borrowing requires 13 votes, three Democrats would have had to join the 10-member GOP majority. Democrats say they won't approve any new borrowing without a legislative redistricting plan that is "fairer" than one that Republicans have proposed.
The most recent round of layoffs comes after Mangano laid off 130 workers in June 2011 and another 260 workers in December 2011.
Meadowbrook Women's Initiative Awards $35,000 in Grants
Meadowbrook Women's Initiative (MWI) awarded grants totaling $35,000 to the Hofstra University Medical School, the Long Island Crisis Center, located in Bellmore, and the LI Head Injury Association, located in Hauppauge, in a ceremony held June 27 at Temple Chaverim in Plainview.
The grants represent an increase of 75 percent over the contributions MWI made in 2010 and 2011. The presentations were followed by the installation of a new president, Barbara Goldstein, of Plainview, with Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs (16th LD), of Woodbury, officiating.
All of MWI's donations are locally based. Hofstra's medical school, affiliated with the North Shore/LIJ hospital system, opened in August 2011 and receives an annual grant from MWI; this year's donation of $14,000 will provide a summer scholarship for a student to work in a medical clinic or inner-city hospital that can't afford to pay a salary.
The other two charities change every year, based on nominations by members and vetting by MWI's philanthropy committee. LICC and LIHIA will each receive $10,500.

How to Talk to Your Kids About the Tragedy in Sandy Hook
By: Louise Weadock, founder of WeeZee World of Yes I Can
The devastating tragedy involving young children and their teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School has left many of us distraught and in tears. The pain in this country is almost palpable, and those that are most sensitive -- our children -- may react. Many of the parents we know and interact with daily at WeeZee World of Yes I Can! have asked us how to talk to and sooth their children during this difficult time.
At such a sad and stressful time, it's important to make sure that you do the following to help your child stay balanced and comforted:
Maintain Calm and Quiet at Home
Turn the television off. Kids should not be exposed to the television where they will surely see the replay of images of victims or hear the tragic stories being told over and over again. We lead the tone in our homes. Don't let kids watch or react to the media.
When Kids Ask Questions…
Provide limited answers. When your child asks you about the event, try to explain in a very calm tone that for some inexplicable reason -- with a one in a gazillionth chance -- this man lost control. Then, explain that school is still a very safe place that has many adults that you trust who are specially-trained to keep children safe.
Reverse the Questioning
When your child asks questions about the tragedy, turn the conversation around and ask: "What do you think?" and let your child
answer. Conversations like this may keep coming up so just let your child keeping talking. If he asks, "Why are there guns on the streets
that people can use to shoot people?" -- you can respond with, "That's a good question, how can we change that?" Empower your child so that he or she feels a sense of control over their world and themselves.
Reassure and Reassure
Your child needs to be reassured that whatever it takes, you as his parents will keep his life safe. Explain and discuss all of the safety procedures at their school and in your community. Reassure your child that he or she is safe over and over again.
Serenity at Home
Keep the mood at home upbeat, positive and calm. Make your child's favorite foods, and play soothing music so that he or she knows that they are loved and in a safe home. Let him process this horrible information in the loving arms of a parent and in a quiet, peaceful environment.
Sensory Activities
Decrease stress by engaging in activities that are fun and integrate all of the senses. The last thing you want is for your child to be sedentary or inactive at this particular time. Try creating a special holiday art project together using finger paint; bake and decorate colorful cupcakes that smell and taste delicious; even dance or do yoga together. The more you use your senses in activities together, the better your children will feel!
For more ideas on activities that can engage your child at home, as well as effective communication, calming and soothing tips, contact Louise Weadock, WeeZee World of Yes I Can, 914-752-2100 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Early in the season, Peter Wozniak was seriously contemplating quitting the sport he had played non-stop for nearly three years: bowling.
Then he remembered the recent passing of his grandfather, Ted Wozniak.
"I knew he would have been really upset if I quit," Wozniak said. "So I stuck with it and I think I ended up pretty good."
Wozniak, a senior at North Tonawanda, lost some of his confidence early this season after a slow start, but he bounced back in the second half and finished the regular season fifth in the Niagara Frontier League with a 213.02 average.
Next up for Wozniak is sectionals — a tournament he'll compete in for the third-straight season. He was the only NFL bowler to qualify for states his sophomore year.
In his junior season, Wozniak bowled a school-record 825 series but he struggled late in the season and failed to make it back to states. So he went back to working at his craft, on the lanes of the Tonawanda Bowing Center that he knew all too well from his childhood. Where he learned the game from his grandfathers.
Wozniak watched Ted Wozniak bowl when he was younger and, over time, embraced the love his grandfather had for the sport.
"He's one of the main reasons I still bowl today," Wozniak said. "He always loved the sport and he was so enthusiastic about it. Every day (I think about him out on the lanes). That's why I like it so much right now."
Bowling has always been a part of the Wozniak family. Wozniak's father, grandfathers and uncles all bowl. So when Wozniak decided to pick up a sport when he was 10 years old, there was no question what it would be.
He learned a lot from watching his late grandfather bowl, but it was another member of the family that had the most prevalent influence on him: his grandmother's boyfriend of 10 years, Bruce Webb.
Even Bill Rohring, Wozniak's current coach, acknowledged Webb's impact on him.
"His number one coach is his grandfather Bruce," Rohring said. "He's an old-time bowler and whenever Peter bowls he goes and watches him and gives him advice. He's definitely his go-to guy."
Webb has been with him every step of the way — as has the rest of Wozniak family — since he started bowling seven years ago. He shows Wozniak tips and tricks and is present at every match.
"Everything I need, he gives great advice and he's been to every single match," Wozniak said. "It's been great. Bruce has just always been there, been interested in it."
Webb has felt the same way. He and Wozniak's grandmother don't just go to every match for support, but they enjoy attending the matches.
"Anything that we can do to help him with his bowling, we've been happy to do it," Webb said. "I get a lot of enjoyment out of it, not only just with Peter but I enjoy watching these kids develop over the years. It's a progression over the years, they grow along with the game."
Webb can't wait to watch Wozniak bowl in sectionals today, he's already cleared his schedule.
"I wouldn't miss it," he said. "I already told my boss that I will not be in on Friday."Contact the Tonawanda News sports desk at 693-1000 ext. 4117 and find us on Twitter @tonanewssports.

It's an OK movie but nothing special. My favorite is when I believe the girls are really getting off. Can't say I believed any of these girls were doing any more than working.
Not a bad movie, just not enough of it. The girls leave something to be desired but all in all not too bad. What Jack has in size is depreciated by the length of the movie. Only 4 scenes. I ALWAYS interpret that as a blatant way to putting money in their pockets without giving us the content we crave. It's not a bad movie but I give it a lower score for NOT giving me enough.
Whew, if you want some really gushy sights rent this one. I like squirt videos but sometimes it gets a little too much for me. I'm sure you'll like this one.
This is one of those movies I HATE watching because it's a total rip off by the producer. SHAME ON YOU! This movie is nothing more than footage from the cutting room floor. It's WAY too obvious. This movie is a compilation of other OLD... and I mean REAL OLD movie footage from years ago. If I would guess how this movie was made I would say Seymore bought a few miles of old footage that wasn't good enough to make it into an original movie, then you put it all together and sold it as a new movie. What you're getting here is content that wasn't good enough to make it the first time around. Now it's being passed off as a new video and it's not. Shame on Seymore Butts. I've always liked his movies but this one is Seymore being senseless. He's ripping us off on this one and pocketing the money. No investment in creating this movie.
The Morgan
This movie is ONLY blow jobs. Now, I don't mind if a move is only blow jobs but for gods sake, TELL ME. Personally, I don't like "blow job only" movies but I didn't know this when I rented it.
I like watching Jack bang girls. He has a huge dick and he uses it well when the girls are excited. It's a good movie but I don't trust that the 2nd dvd will have anything worth watching.
Nothing fancy. Only 4 scenes and the ladies weren't all that good looking. I like to see women get excited when they work and even though some may be very good actors, they didn't convince me. I'd pass on this one.
I wouldn't say it's a bad film but it's just chicks doing each other. No big deal. Could do something better with the time it took to watch.
A couple girls in this film appear to REALLY get off. Holly wow, Kristina Rose gets into it big time. I love watching real orgasms and it appears like these girls do to.

Spare tire hoist tool
I recently bought a 2007 Silverado, regular cab.
The spare tire tools (and jack) were missing.
I plan to use a hydraulic bottle jack for lifting but I need to know the dimensions of the "square drive" end of the hoist operating rod so I can fabricate a rod to operate the spare tire hoist.
I know it is neither 3/8" nor 1/2' square drive, so a long extension from my tool box isn't gonna do the trick.
I can't get an eyeball on the female receiver for the rod.
Anybody out there can measure this square drive end and post the dimensions please?

I have never looked at my new truck tire spare yet, but our last 2 GM's simply had a flat screwdriver end on the lowering tool!!!..Don't know if that is much help,
but on one of our vehicles, I was able to use a long Tire - Iron with the flat screwdriver end once or twice a year to drop the spare to lube and clean

You might want to look at the difference in your new truck spare tire hoisting set-up.
On mine, there is a long, hollow tube that spans from the hoist diagonally to the rear bumper. Probably 20 or so inches long.
Any tool to engage the hoist receiver socket is going to have to be about 30" long to allow it to extend beyond the bumper.
The owner's manual shows the OEM tool and it is clearly a square drive end that engages the hoist receiver, I just need someone to accurately measure the square sides so I will know what size to fabricate the end of my custom hoist rod.
I used a 12mm wrench to turn mine since it didn't come with a tool. But I stole the tool out of my dads ford and it fits. So I'm going say around 11-12mm so 15/32.
If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger cheater bar.

Thanks riley. OK, from your explanation I think you are telling me you used a 12mm open end wrench to turn the long rod that engages to the tool port on the hoist itself.
My problem has been that I don't have any of the OEM tire tool kit at all. So I have attempted to make the long rod by welding a cut off 1/2" square drive ratchet extension on the end of a length of 1/2" round bar stock. That size did not fit into the hoist receiver port. I figured it was too big so I then welded a 3/8" square drive on the opposite end of bar stock. That too did not fit (probably went inside the receiver but not actually engage cause too small).
I am going to grind the 1/2" square end down to 12mm and try it again.
I'll post back the results.

I hope the image is clear enough to describe what I need to accomplish.
I now think the tool receiver on the hoist must be a MALE square drive........based on what rileyjr stated in his post, plus the male and female ends of the OEM tool kit imply that too. I was thinking the tool receiver on the hoist to be FEMALE but the image hints otherwise.
I will just have to fabricate a FEMALE end for the rod I have been making.

Inside dimensions on the square end of the rod is 1/2". Diagonally is going to be 5/8". I didn't find those on the internet, I grabbed a tape measure and measured it for you. Doesn't mean it's accurate for your truck, but I hope it's what you needed!
Realized after I was done posting that I also thought that the end on the inside of the tube was a male end requiring the female end of the rod. I took a picture of the end of the rod used in the tube:
Measurements on this include:
Total length: 7/8"
Width: 9/16"
Length of hooked end: 3/16"
Thickness: 3/16" + (between 3/16" and 1/4" exactly center)
Guessing that you can heat and bend that hook in it. Again, this is for a classic body style and they may have changed it on the newer body styles.

Thanks for measuring the square drive end. I can come up with a 1/2" female square drive end easy enough as I have a number of small 1/2" drive sockets that are worn out, useless for nuts & bolts but might be ideal for this.
According to my OEM Owner's Manual, the section of tool kit rod with a hooked end is only for operating the vehicle lifting jack, not anything to do with hoist operation.
Tomorrow I will pick out a suitable worn out socket and try that.

Thanks to rileyjr and jimmeh for the helpful information.
An old 1/2" drive X 3/8" 12 point socket welded onto the rod I've been working with confirms that I'm now heading in the right direction.
The 1/2" square fits a little loose and sloppy on the tool stem of the hoist, but it turns the hoist and can be used "as is".
I am probably gonna try for a better fit of female rod end to male hoist stem. Likely I will lay in a shallow weld of filler on 2 adjoining "flats" inside the socket square and then dress the welded material to a good tight fit using my die grinder and a carbide burr bit.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Definitely 5 star! Used sirloin steak that sat in the fridge with steak seasoning on it for a day and a half to really absorb the flavors. BBQ the sirloin rare and then thinly sliced it and set aside in preparation for assembly. Carmelized the onions prior to making the sandwiches, then sauteed the peppers using green and red for color. Added mushrooms for a more true Philly sandwich. Used a variety of cheese; Manchego, Monterey and Mozarella. My favorite was the Manchego which gave it an edge. Baked the sandwiches open faced for 5 minutes to crisp the buns, then broiled until the cheese melted, bubbled and slightly browned. The garlic mayo made the sandwich! My family loved it. Thanks Tera for the great recipe.
Superb. Based on comments read and my one Philly Phriend, I made six sandwiches. Two with provolone, two with mozarella, and (Philly) two with cheeze whiz. Provolone and mozarella were equal in outstanding taste. The cheeze whiz was good but not up to the others. Used everything the recipe called for except (above) and low fat mayo. Reheated leftovers in the oven, put in while heating to 500, when reached 500 took out, perfect. Micorwaved leftover sandwiches were not so good.
this is a pretty good recipe. As suggested by another reviewer it tastes great if you add steak seasoning on the meat in the Am and let it sit until dinner time and then there is no need to season with the salt and pepper.

NORMAN — Oklahoma desperately needed a shot of energy Saturday night. Its defense was playing well in the first half, but the offense needed a boost. A fumble recovery or an interception could have worked wonders.
It never came. Only coming up with one through three games has been the 16th-ranked Sooners' shortfall.
"We've got to try and concentrate more on that in practice and try and create some drills and get in rush lanes and tip some balls and get some deflections," defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. "That's an issue and we're trying to create some turnovers."
Something has to be done. The Sooners have defended 183 plays. Strong safety Javon Harris came up with an interception against Florida A&M and two fumbles have been forced with neither ending up in the arms of Sooners.
The current pace would have OU collecting just over four turnovers in a 13-game season. The most glaring reason for the Sooners' loss to Kansas State was the three turnovers they committed.
Of course, with the current 5-to-1 turnover ratio going against them, a bowl game would likely be out of the question.
So, what has to change?
"It's a mindset and it's fundamentals," defensive lineman David King said. "You have to credit those teams for taking care of the ball. But we have to do a better job of forcing turnovers, whether it's stripping the ball and forcing fumbles or getting interceptions. It's something we have to do a better job of practice-wise, ball-hawking, stripping the ball, trying to pick it."
This isn't the first time OU's been down this road. It's had stretches of one or two games where it didn't come up with turnovers before. Last season, it didn't come up with a turnover against Missouri. Then it forced eight and scored four defensive touchdowns in back-to-back games against Ball State and Texas.
The difference between then and now was the Sooners' offense was struggling to move the ball. It currently is. Setting up some short drives might help change the predicament.
OU coach Bob Stoops acknowledged that the defensive game plan against Kansas State was conservative. It almost totally centered on containing Wildcat quarterback Collin Klein as opposed to attacking him.
There were hardly any blitzes and defensive linemen were more focused on staying in rushing lanes than the kind of pressure that forces quarterbacks to make bad decisions.
"As much as anything, trying to get more pressure. They're a team that with the way they run the football, they're a hard team to pressure. With the running quarterback and whatnot, they really kind of relishes it in certain looks and take advantage of it," Bob Stoops said. "We didn't get as much as we'd like, but that as much as anything is the key. The other thing is to get more strips and try to knock the ball out as well."
It will be an emphasis this week and next week as the Sooners prepare to face Texas Tech Oct. 6 in Lubbock, Texas. The pressure will be on the Sooners to force some turnovers.
