Dec. 31 is the last day that donations can be applied to the current tax year so these next few days are a good time to see what you have to donate to Goodwill.
At this time of the year, Goodwill of North Georgia is usually gearing up for what is traditionally their busiest week of the year.
"Last year, we received more than 87,000 donations during the last week of the year and more than 28,000 on Dec. 31," said Elaine Armstrong, director of public relations for Goodwill of North Georgia. "People across North Georgia have continued to generously donate throughout the year, and we are hoping for another successful year-end. We also want to remind donors to double-check before they donate."
There are more than 100 locations where donors can give clothing, books, furniture and other household items. Unwanted computer equipment also can be donated. These are then recycled through a partnership with Dell which helps keep potentially harmful items out of landfills.
Because of the increase in activity at its facilities, Goodwill is reminding donors to go through a six-point check of items to be donated before leaving the house.
The following is the checklist suggested by Goodwill:
1. Are the pockets empty? Make sure you have emptied pant and coat pockets, purses, and suitcases of any valuables or items you wish to keep.
2. Can Goodwill accept this? There are few household items Goodwill cannot accept. Among them are mattresses, large appliances, weapons, chemicals, and carpeting.
3. Would I give this to family member or friend? Goodwill understands that its shoppers look for quality items when visiting its stores; therefore, the nonprofit has a policy against selling torn, stained, and water-soaked items.
4. Is it in good used condition? According to the Internal Revenue Service, taxpayers may claim a deduction for donated items that are in good used condition or better.
5. Did I erase the memory? If you donate a computer, cell phone or other electronic device, be sure to delete any confidential or personal information before you bring it to Goodwill.
6. Did I make an inventory list? Be sure to make a record of each item you donate. While you won't need to give it to Goodwill, you may have to produce it for Uncle Sam.
During the past year, Goodwill has added even more sites where North Georgians can donate. Check the location finder on the website to find the location nearest to you.
The nearest location in Tucker is at 3983 LaVista Road.

June 9th at Turtle Bay on the Bay View Beach Lawn
From 1pm-Sunset
Turtle Bay Resort HERE will be the first fundraiser for the newly formed North Shore Ocean Education Coalition to support K-12 ocean education for school children and youth from Ka'a'awa to Waialua.
NORTH SHORE OCEAN FEST will include: Poster Contest awards for children K-12; Educational booths; Speakers; Films; Silent Auction; Keiki activities; Wyland fine art posters; Food; Vendor booths; Music/Hula and much, much more! Bring your family to this FREE event to benefit our keiki.
HOURS of the Ocean Fest - opens at 1 PM and will close with a Sunset Celebration.
INSPIRED by Hui O Hau'ula, a project that includes many Native Hawaiian community members, there is a strong connection with Hawaiian culture. Local Hawaiian traditions remind us of the time-honored value of kuleana (responsibility) to care for this unique, fragile place and its many resources through strong conservation and protection principles. By honoring the past and in looking to the future we know we must malama ka pae 'aina (care for the archipelago).
NORTH SHORE EDUCATION COALITION will assist in providing curriculum, materials, hands-on, place-based learning opportunities, scientists and mentors to teach children, youth and the community to malama (care for) the ocean as the ancient Hawaiians did… which is the most important lesson we can teach. To do this, the Coalition will partner with many organizations to help protect and restore the ocean and it's marine life and educate children, youth, the local community and visitors about traditional Native Hawaiian values, practices and traditions to ensure the sustainability of our ocean, marine life and Hawaiian culture.
THE MISSION of the North Shore Ocean Education Coalition is to increase awareness and knowledge about the ocean, marine life and ecosystems in order to protect, restore, and manage the use of ocean resources and inspire local and global conservation.

Got it as a b-day gift and she was psyched (granted, she asked for it]. It's actually a little smaller than the photo makes it look, so it looks a little more classy-wear-to-work and a little less star-in-a-Trinidad-James-video than I thought it might; The photo below definitely gives a better look.
Great larger Women's Watch

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Nixon Monarch is a fantastic piece for ladies who want a watch that is a little larger, but isn't manly. I love the geometric/faceted face and the gold/tort acetate combination. I highly recommend this watch for a gal who wants a fashionable piece that makes a powerful statement.

NY Giants Fan, LA Lakers Fan, LA Dodgers Fan
I'm still really pissed. Won't be able to sleep tonight.
Giants are the most inconsistent champions in sports today....
Don't know when or who is going to show up...
|Sponsored Links
Gilbride doesn't trust Eli...
He needs to go... Why are the Giants running the ball 85% of the time in the red zone?? Pass!! What happened to the fades. The cutback...
Know Giants offense is ranked high but that was weaker teams. Gilbride needs to go now. Eli will have to gel with someone else. I'm sick of this
Next well see Wilson trying to scoot up the gut HB draw three times to punch it in. Lol
Least Dallas lost. But those pesky Eagles.
"The 90 wins is about challenge. It's about changing the conversation. It's about framing questions for ourselves as to how we get there. So I stand by the notion that we need to get better, and in doing so we need to set concrete goals for ourselves so that we have sort of specific conversations among ourselves about how we're going to get there." -- Mr. Alderson
I can't understand how you continue to run Bradshaw and not give Wilson even 5 carries in a game.
Gilbride reverted back to his old style of managing Eli. Run, run, throw. Eli gets not rhythm and as a result struggles.
Majority of the blame rests on Kevin Killdrive. He is relying too much on his "tecmo super bowl" playbook in the redzone. (he runs the same 3 plays every time). How many points have the Giants left on the field when they constantly kick FGs and do not score TDs?! The talent is obviously there but this knucklehead refuses to mix up his play calling and attempt to be UNpredictable.
And this is not a new 2012 issue - Killdrive has been this way for years. The Super Bowl wins came despite his conservative, predictable play calling. When the fans know what plays the Giants are likely to run, just imagine what a defensive coordinator knows......
Apologize if this was mentioned already. IMO, the 3rd receiver needs to be stabilized. Manningham was a great third option for Eli and he has not been replaced by a stable third option. The Giants keep switching the third receiver between Hixon and Randle (occassionly Barden). Beckum was nothing more than a warm body when was on the field yesterday.
Solidify and fix the third WR please.
"We have been watching and waiting, but I wouldn't say we intend to continue to do that. I think you watch and wait to try and assess a situation and act accordingly. It might involve more waiting. It might involve moving in one direction or another. We've done plenty of watching and waiting. If we can move in a particular direction, we might do that."
Sandy Alderson: 2011.
I think Randle is the #3 guy they want, it's just gonna take time for him to learn the system and take Hixon's job.
I'm surprised how little we've seen of Barden. He should really be playing when we're in the redzone.
And a huge issue that nobody is really talking about is Hakeem Nicks. His injury has to be nagging him a ton, because we've seen the guy produce while hurt before. He's been such a small factor since he's come back that it's almost worrisome. Either we need to run more plays for him, or he needs to just get 100% because he's just not getting open right now.

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
Just in time for the close of the 2012 season, the Gophers have finalized their 2013 football schedule.
With the final details ironed out, New Mexico State has returned to Minnesota a signed contract for a two-game series with the Gophers, executive associate athletic director David Benedict confirmed Tuesday, and the deal, along with a formal announcement, awaits only Norwood Teague's signature. A preliminary version of the contract called for each home team to play the visitor approximately $200,000, making the home-and-home deal a financial wash.
The contract calls for the Gophers to face the Aggies in Las Cruces, N.M., next Sept. 7, with New Mexico State making a return trip to Minneapolis on Sept. 14, 2014. Those dates replace Minnesota's originally scheduled meetings with North Carolina, a contract that was cancelled earlier this year by Teague, Minnesota's athletic director, at the request of Gophers coach Jerry Kill. Minnesota paid the Tar Heels a settlement of $800,000 to cancel that contract.
The Gophers will be trying to avenge a loss when they travel to Aggie Memorial Stadium next September; New Mexico State defeated Minnesota 28-21 in TCF Bank Stadium last September, the teams' only meeting. The Aggies are 1-9 this season, and 0-5 in the Western Athletic Conference, a league that will drop football after this year. The Aggies' athletic department is run by former Gophers athletic director McKinley Boston.
Linebacker Brendan Beal suffered another knee injury Saturday at Nebraska, coach Jerry Kill said, and is definitely out for Saturday's game against Michigan State. Beal has already missed two complete seasons after tearing ligaments in his knee, and Kill said he sat with the junior linebacker in the locker room after the game Saturday. Kill said he is praying for Beal -- "That kid has been through so much," the coach said -- but he believes the injury is serious.
Marcus Jones, another player who has missed time following knee surgery, also re-injured his knee against the Huskers, Kill said, but that injury is not believed to be as serious.
Offensive lineman Mark Lenkiewicz suffered a knee injury as well, but Kill described his status as "questionable" for Saturday.
And defensive tackle Roland Johnson is definitely out after injuring the ACL in a knee Friday night -- during the team's non-contact walk-through. "When you have guys getting hurt in a walk-through, it's not a good day. Not a good week."
MADISON, Wis. -- The Gophers aren't bringing Paul Bunyan's Axe home with them, not with that gaping hole in their run defense. But after Saturday's game, they have to feel better about their chances of capturing it over the next three years.
That's because Philip Nelson mostly lived up to his billing as the Gophers' quarterback of the future, showing poise and skill in his first college action, despite Minnesota's 38-13 loss to Wisconsin in Camp Randall Stadium. The 19-year-old freshman threw a pair of touchdown passes, but also a pair of interceptions in a debut that was at once intriguing and frustrating.
The frustrating part was due to the defense, which for the third straight week, was bludgeoned by a Big Ten running attack. Badger tailback James White scored three touchdowns and Montee Ball two, and both eclipsed 150 yards as Wisconsin pulled away in the second half. It's the ninth straight year that the Badgers have won the Battle of the Axe, equaling the longest winning streak ever in the 122-game series. Minnesota won nine straight games in college football's most-played rivalry from 1933-41.
MarQueis Gray was healthy enough to play the entire game at wide receiver, and he caught two passes for 13 yards. But his ankle injury, and a lingering injury to backup Max Shortell, opened the opportunity for Nelson, the state's Mr. Football last fall at Mankato West High.
Despite playing behind an offensive line that was missing tackle Ed Olson and guard Tommy Olson, Nelson grew more comfortable as the game wore on, and had Minnesota within 14-6 at halftime and 24-13 in the fourth quarter.
White had touchdown runs of 14, 34 and 48 yards, while Ball had scoring romps of 14 and 44 yards.
Doesn't a week off, right in the middle of your profession's busiest stretch, sound like a welcome reprieve?
It doesn't to Tracy Claeys, not after watching the Gophers' 31-13 loss in Iowa.
"When you play like that, then you don't play the next week, it's miserable," said Claeys, the Gophers' defensive coordinator. "I've had a miserable off week. I know we're better than that, but you've got to wait two weeks, and everybody is talking."
And what is everybody saying? "Everybody thinks we fell off the edge of the Earth," Claeys said.
What's frustrating to him is how magnified a run of mistakes in the second quarter became, how the Gophers allowed a competitive game between two fairly even teams, in his estimation, to turn into a blowout. Iowa's first three possessions encompassed 15 plays -- 12 of them gaining fewer than four yards, and six for no gain or a loss of yardage. The second play of the game was a 45-yard completion on a botched coverage, but even then, the Gophers forced the Hawkeyes to settle for a field goal.
"I wasn't disappointed with the way we came out of the gate. They ran a little trick play type of route that we hadn't seen, but we tackled it and held them to a field goal. That's what I'm used to," Claeys said. The Gophers forced Iowa to punt away its next two possessions, and there was no inkling that the game would turn lopsided.
But over the next dozen plays or so, the defense made one awful play, one ugly mistake, after another, turning a three-point tug-of-war into a four-score laugher.
"Plays 1-15, we didn't play bad; we just gave up that one pass. But then plays 17-28, we hit a stretch in there that wasn't good," Claeys said. "It's frustrating as hell, because all of a sudden, the game's over -- 24 (straight) points. You're trying to catch up from 24-0. Because of that little swing in there, you (bleeped) it away, and I think we're better than that. So it's very frustrating."
After allowing three points on the first three possessions, seven bad defensive plays from that point in the game to halftime -- six of which gained between 20 and 47 yards, after the Gophers had not allowed a 30-yard gain all season -- handed Iowa three consecutive touchdowns, and essentially the game.
Claeys said he's not sure what happened there that allowed the roof to cave in. The attitude seemed good, the players didn't stop trying. Coach Jerry Kill credited it to momentum, that Iowa fed off its loud sellout crowd and just got on a roll. But the mistakes were simple ones, Claeys said, and the solutions as well.
"During that stretch, yeah, I don't like it, the kids don't like it, because we didn't play very well," Claeys said of all the big gains. "We mis-fit three plays (left gaps undefended), we missed tackles on four, and on one play, we got our eyes in the backfield," allowing the Hawkeyes to pull off a flea-flicker for a touchdown.
The players looked for schematic adjustments at halftime, but Claeys said there weren't any to make -- the solution was just to execute better. "And in the second half, Iowa got 50 yards (actually 46) and they were running the same damn stuff," the defensive coordinator said, noting that the Hawkeyes didn't score an offensive point after halftime. "If you tackle well and get where you're supposed to be, we're good enough to play. ... But because of those eight plays, we fell off the end of the world. So I'm ready to play again, quite frankly."
Claeys said he doesn't blame fans for being disgruntled about the Iowa loss, even after four victories to open the season. But he and the coaching staff have taken care to make sure that the defense doesn't get discouraged.
"We watched those plays as a defense. I don't want 12 plays to define us, because we're better than that. I believe that," Claeys said. "I don't want perception to become reality. Everybody's all, 'Because of one game, they ain't worth a damn. They ain't worth a damn. But we played pretty good defense, we really did, except for those eight plays. I mean, we're capable of a lot better, we really are."
Jerry Kill was particularly lively and upbeat at his weekly press conference on Tuesday, which is probably no surprise given the Gophers' 1-0 record.
The coach said he noticed the same attitude in his players, too, during last Thursday's 30-27 triple-overtime win in Las Vegas. Even when UNLV took a lead on Minnesota, even when the Rebels scored touchdowns on their first two overtime drives, the Gophers never developed a "here we go again" feeling on the sideline. "Last year, that's all I saw," Kill said.
The Gophers had a good practice on Monday, he said, and are well along in preparing for Saturday morning's home opener against New Hampshire. They lost receiver Jamel Harbison to a knee injury during the game, but the Gophers came through the game otherwise healthy.
We'll have more coverage of the Gophers in Wednesday's Star Tribune.
By PHIL MILLER
I'm roughly halfway to Las Vegas as I write this, and there are roughly a dozen passengers on this flight wearing Gophers gear, including a couple of familiar faces from the sidelines at practice.
(Brief aside: The effects of the drought gripping the Midwest and Rocky Mountains are plainly evident when you fly over the country; every lake has a ring around it where the water used to be.)
Later flights today and tomorrow will undoubtedly have a lot more. For Minnesota football fans looking to build a vacation around a Gophers football game, probably no game in several years has been more anticipated than this one. No offense to West Lafayette or East Lansing, but there are a few more things to do in Las Vegas when the game is over.
That's why it's hardly a surprise that the university sold out its allotment of 3,000 tickets, Jason LaFrenz, the university's assistant athletics director for marketing and ticket sales, said last week. There will be a relatively large contingent of Gopher fans in Sam Boyd Stadium tomorrow night. I'll be watching for maroon-and-gold in the casinos the next two days.
"I know that we've got a huge following going out. I've got all kinds of emails and phone calls and good luck (messages)," coach Jerry Kill said Tuesday. "We had a huge following when we went out to USC. There's not a question about how passionate our fans are -- we've just got to make sure we put a good product out there."
Fans who traveled to Los Angeles and Las Vegas these past two years don't have much to get excited about for the foreseeable future. And truthfully, considering the downtrodden history of UNLV football, even this game wouldn't be a particularly big draw if the Rebels didn't play in Las Vegas. (There is added intrigue to the game, given that it's the opener, but that's changing, too; the Gophers will open at home for at least the next four years.)
Next year, the Gophers will visit Chapel Hill, N.C., for the last non-conference road matchup with a BCS-level opponent for awhile.
Kill, who explored canceling the contract with the Tar Heels earlier this year, has made it clear that the Big Ten schedule is difficult enough without adding extra hurdles during September, so the Gophers have joined the rest of major college football by sticking to home games against lesser conferences. It's nothing unique to Minnesota, far from it; but as a college football fan, it's a shame that the practice of playing your peers around the country is dying out.
The trend means no road games at all for the Gophers in September 2014, and trips to Colorado State in 2015 and Miami of Ohio in 2016. Admittedly, Fort Collins, Colo., is beautiful and I always enjoyed covering games there, but it's not like playing USC, is it?
Kill joked last week that he'd prefer to play 12 home games, and he's practically getting his wish this year. Once the Gophers arrive home from Las Vegas early Friday morning, they won't leave the Central time zone again this season. It's the first time since 1961 that they have no games on the schedule in the Eastern time zone.
Of course, that season ended with a game two time zones away -- in Pasadena on New Year's Day. I'm guessing that's a road trip that Kill would approve of.

About 10 years ago when my 17 year old son was diagnosed as alcoholic and schizophrenic, my husband and I found that Dr. Wasserman was very generous in giving us information we could use to help our son. Unfortunately our son was afraid of him and eventually refused to see him. However, all's well that ends well. My son recovered and is doing fine. Perhaps Dr. Wasserman helped him find the road to recovery even though he did antagonize him terribly.

MERRITT ISLAND -- Treat yourself -- and your pooch -- to an afternoon full of music and relaxation.
Hayes Meats & Gourmet Food and the Central Brevard Humane Society will host the fifth annual Whiskers, Wags and Wine event on Saturday, March 16, from noon-4 p.m.
"The Central Brevard Humane Society has been partnered up with Hayes since the first event," said Eileen Cole, media relations manager for the nonprofit.
"God gave me a big heart for animals and I wanted to support CBHS, especially since it is a no kill facility," said Connie Gurgan of Hayes Meats and Gourmet Foods. "I thought music, wine and animals would be a fabulous blend."
Through Mrs. Gurgan's hard work and love for animals, Whiskers, Wags and Wine was born.
Whiskers, Wags, and Wine is a free event that includes wine tasting, free beer, barbecue, a raffle and door prizes.
Live music will be provided by London Ink.
"London Ink is a fantastic husband-and-wife duo, who play a lot of reggae," Mrs. Gurgan added. "They are a spin-off of the local band Souler Eclipse."
Restaurateur and owner of Yellow Dog Café, Stuart Borton, will also host a book signing at the event for his new book "Old Dog New Chef."
"It's a family-centered cookbook aimed at having families come together in the kitchen to create great meals," Mrs. Gurgan said.
In addition to the excellent entertainment line-up, the Central Brevard Humane Society will also be at the event with shelter dogs available for adoption.
"We will also be providing the public with merchandise and fun educational information about responsible pet ownership," Mrs. Cole said.
Like the four previous years, 100 percent of the proceeds from Whiskers, Wags and Wine will help raise awareness and provide financial support to the many unwanted and abandoned pets of the Humane Society who are in need of a forever home.
"We give away great door prizes every half hour and have awesome raffle prizes including a massage, bi-plane rides, and a gourmet meat package," Mrs. Gurgan said.
"Most importantly, people can bring their furry kids to this event," Mrs Gurgan added. "And there are lots of adorable animals for adoption."
The fifth annual Whiskers, Wags and Wine event is Saturday, March 16 from noon -- 4 p.m.
Hayes Meats & Gourmet Foods is located at 285 Fortenberry Road, Merritt Island.
For more information, contact Connie with Hayes Meats at (321) 453-3550 or firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.crittersavers.com.

SUPERIOR, WI (KDAL) - The History Channel's hit reality show called "Axmen" will be featuring the crew from Wisconsin Woodchuck during upcoming episodes. Woodchuck is the company that is in the process of deconstructing the old Globe Elevator in Superior and salvaging the 6 million board feet of old growth lumber that it was made with. The so-called "Urban Loggers" don't harvest trees but rather harvest wood from trees that were logged over a hundred years ago. Sales of the lumber has been slow over the last few years and the company is hoping the national exposure will be good for business. "Axmen" is seen at 8 p-m on Sunday night on the History Channel and is also repeated at other times during the week.

Lambert Tool kit
The Lambert toolkit is for universities and companies that wish to undertake collaborative research projects with each other.
The toolkit consists of a set of five Model Research Collaboration (one to one) Agreements numbered 1-5 and four Consortium (multi-party) Agreements lettered A-D and documents that should help you to use and understand those agreements. The toolkit was prepared by the Lambert Working Group on Intellectual Property.
Innovation and Compromise
The aim of the model agreements is to maximise innovation. They have not been developed with the aim of maximising the commercial return to the universities; but to encourage university and industry collaboration and the sharing of knowledge. They do not represent an ideal position for any party; depending on the circumstances they are designed to represent a workable and reasonable compromise for both or all parties.
Model Research Collaboration Agreements (one to one)
There are five model Research Collaboration agreements devised by the Lambert Working Group. Their use is optional, but they could help you save time and money when negotiating.
Model Consortium Agreements (multi-party)
The four model Lambert Consortium Agreements use the same terminology and have the same structure as the five Research Collaboration Agreements, but contain additional provisions to cover some of the complications that arise as a result of having more than two parties.
Decision guide
The Decision Guide consists of a series of questions to help you choose which of the five model research collaboration agreements most closely meets your requirements.
Guidance notes
The Guidance Notes are designed to help you understand the terms of the model agreements and some of the legal issues.
The Outlines
There are two Outlines, one for the Research Collaboration Agreements and one for the Consortium Agreements. The Outlines are designed to help you identify the main issues that you may need to discuss internally and with your collaborators before drafting an agreement, to ensure that you have similar expectations for the proposed project.
Lambert Materials and Copyright
Details about copyright issues relating to the materials are available.

Avi Buffalo | 10/09/14
We are pleased to welcome new signing Avi Buffalo to the Domino family. Embarking upon a sophomore effort can be a daunting task for any young upstart, and there's no denying Avi Buffalo's own bar was set quite high with 2010's celebrated eponymous debut. Fear not, dear fans/family/friends/friends of friends/newcomers, there's nothing in this tale about The Second Album—a.k.a. At Best Cuckold, due September 8th in Europe and September 9th in North America on Sub Pop—that even remotely...
Planningtorock | 27/08/14
Jam Rostron, Bolton-born, Berlin-based is welcomed to the Domino Publishing family. The artist behind the multimedia recording and performance project Planningtorock, her 2014 LP 'All Love's Legal' is both an extension of her previous work and a refinement and of its ideas and sonics. Planningtorock has always incorporated politics into her music, but this is by far her most explicitly political record yet. It follows 'W', which was released on DFA in 2011, and her 2006 debut album...
An absolute gem of a recording, passionatley brought back into the limelight from 1979 to 2013 by Trunk Records.
"The Cults Percussion Ensemble must have one of the best group names of all time. To many it will immediately come across as something sinister, a touch spooky and possibly a bit dramatic too. They are certainly two of those but the use of the word "Cults" here is easily misinterpreted. Cults, in this case, is the suburb of Aberdeen. I'm going there next week in fact, with a strange costume.
This is the only album by the group. Assembled by percussion...

Blaine track advances to state championships
baton was passed during the District One track meet last
weekend at Kings in Edmonds.
Well, maybe not a baton, but a pole, when Blaine junior Alisha Fisher won the district pole vault at 9- 6.
Erin Lippie, a senior who missed the state meet last year after a freak injury to her ACL, will miss the biggest show in AA track for the second year in a row, having disqualified at the district meet, where she is, ironically, the meet record holder at 10-7.
Fisher is no stranger to top-flight competition, having set the Blaine stadium record for the long jump as a freshman.
And despite coming off a serious injury of her own, she also qualified for a state berth in both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relays. She runs the second leg in both events.
Five other girls and two boys will be making the long trip to Eastern Washington University in Cheney this week to compete in the state track meet.
Along with Fisher, junior Julie Meaker notched a decisive win in the 400 meter and anchored all three relay teams to a second in the 4x100, .17 seconds behind Sultan in a fast 50.77, and thirds in the 4x200 and 4x400.
Freshman Breanna Olason just nicked Blaine sophomore Cassie Acidera by a tenth of a second in the 100 for third place and qualified on all three teams. Acidera and Jettie Wilce also qualified.
For the boys, Jason Vasquez finished second in both the 100 and 200 meter dash, and sophomore Douglas Ramirez got second in a fast 800, finishing just under two seconds off the pace after running twice around the track at Kings' Woolsey Stadium in Edmonds.
Blaine junior hurdler Bryant Williams just missed qualifying for state by a half second in the 110 and by a narrow 16 seconds in the 300, and Blaine's 4x100 relay team was nipped at the wire for third, finishing just out of the money by a scant .09 seconds.
The state meet in Cheney begins Thursday, May 25 and runs through Saturday.
Coaches in transition
Coach Rob Adams has stepped down as girls fast-pitch coach to have more time with his family, and coach Rob Bouma resigned as girls golf coach to take a two-year teaching assignment in China.
"I told Adams I was a little worried," said Blaine athletic director Gary Clausen, "since if he does both basketball and fast pitch that's two varsity seasons back to back, and that's a lot of time for someone with a young family. When he took over five years ago he said he'd try it, and we've appreciated all his hard work."
Blaine's team had one of the worst imaginable beginnings to Adams' final season when a car accident took the life of their star pitcher, Kailey Walter, and severely injured another key player, Krissie Hammer, days before the season began. Dori Binder, whose daughter plays on the team, said that the girls often spoke of their "angel in the outfield" in dealing with the tragic loss.
The girls began the year with wins over Concrete and AAA Squalicum before dropping league games to Lynden Christian and Meridian. They finished the year 2-10 in league, beating only Nooksack early in the season and Meridian in a one-run thriller earlier this month. Their overall record was above .500 at 7-13.
Bouma, a high school science teacher, will be moving to Shekou, China, near Hong Kong for a two-year teaching commitment. This year his lead player, Blaine's Girl of the Year Tegan Bukowski, medaled in every league tournament this season as the team won the league championship, going undefeated and sending four players to the state tournament.
State golf tournament mid-point
Of the five Blaine golfers who went to the state tournament at hot and sunny Downriver Country Club in Spokane, only senior (and Blaine's Girl of the Year) Tegan Bukowski survived the first day's round to continue play with the top 20 finishers. Bukowski's 9 was good enough for a ninth place tie. Hannah Hillard carded a 99, one of her best rounds, on the tough and fast course, followed by Karissa Bland at 100 and Katie Richardson at 111. "We're all going to follow [Tegan] around tomorrow," Hillard said after first round play, "for good luck."
For the boys, John Dudley's 81 missed the cut at 77 by just four strokes.
Bukowski, a fiercely competitive chatterbox on the fairway but tomb silent on the tees and greens, managed to climb into second round contention despite three first-round bogeys, a dig-a-hole and the climb out style not unlike Arnold Palmer, designer of her home course. She said that at one point it was as if the trees in the Spokane Valley had developed a taste for golf balls. "They literally ate them up!" she said, only half joking. Perhaps after she gets her fighter pilot's wings (she's headed to the Air Force Academy this summer) there might be a few more stumps on the fairways outside Spokane.
All league selections in baseball and softball announced
Blaine placed three boys and one girl on the all-league diamond in addition to junior Joe Paciorek's winning a well-deserved league MVP for the second year despite playing hurt much of the year. Paciorek, who has a baseball pedigree through his dad and uncle, both long-time major leaguers, plays a lot like they did in the old days when you didn't come out with an injury until broken bones poked through the skin. When hurt he usually says nothing, and is suspected of not even telling himself when he's got anything wrong.
Paciorek ended up batting .486 in league, and went 2-1 with three saves as a reliever. His ERA was a miniscule 0.39 with 28 strikeouts, and when not pitching played shortstop like a vacuum cleaner that can throw an 88-mph fastball.
He's joined by Blaine seniors Rob Bleecker, a pitcher who found his groove big time this season with a 4-0 league record, a low 1.81 ERA and 25 strike-outs. Another senior all-leaguer is Jackie McDonald, the pint-sized outfielder for Rob Adam's fastpitch team and as tough and tenacious a competitor as Blaine has produced in any sport, ever. "It's not always such a good thing, I guess," she said recently. While that may be true, it's easier to dial that spirit down a notch for situations that require a head as well as a heart than it is to dial it up from an attitude that has a player yawning on the bench.
Junior slugger Aaron Johnson joined Bleecker on the all-league first team as a catcher, whose solid presence behind the plate went along with 13 RBI's and a .323 batting average. Lefty Curtis Richardson, also a junior, was named to the second team with a .304 batting average. He also lked the team in triples.
Finally, Alex Walter continued Blaine's tradition of high-powered pitchers in girls fastpitch by making second team all-league as a freshman. She's only one of two (along with Nooksack pitcher Erika Ramstead) of the 44 players named in both sports to get this honor as a freshman.

A quiet morning on Mill Avenue in Tempe was shattered by the sounds of gunshots on Thursday.It started when a man with some sort of knife was threatening people around 8 a.m."Like he was pulling a box cutter or something out of his pocket," said Jeffrey Hollingsworth.Hollingsworth was one of dozens of witnesses on Mill Avenue when two officers tried to convince the man to put his weapon down."He was standing in basically defense mode.. like he was ready to go at the officers. They opened fire like I said, six rounds went off and the guy dropped.""All I saw was a bunch of cops piled here in front of chili's and next thing you know I hear six gunshots - the guy drops to the ground," said another witness, Joey Ramon.When Ramon heard the shots, he started recording video with his cell phone"So I run over here in front of the firehouse and I see them handcuffing him, and I see them resuscitating him -- but the guy's not moving," he said."I would say he had to have been at least 10, 15 feet away when he shot him," said another man at the scene who did not want to be identified. He also saw the shooting and was worried innocent bystanders would be hit by a bullet."Oh absolutely there was potential. The thing that sears in my mind was seeing that guy on the ground with blood coming out from under him. In public, you know?"Ramon said, "I mean if you come out here and mess around with the police I guess -- that's the end result."
Authorities say 36-year-old Austin Del Castillo was taken to a valley hospital and remains in critical condition. His injuries are life threatening.
The officer who shot the suspect is a 12 year veteran on the force. He is now on paid administrative leave.

When considering microphones for your next gig or recording project, the choices can be overwhelming. Condenser or dynamic? USB, or XLR through an interface? Shure, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, Blue, or any of the dozens of other makes available? Well, the good news is that with today's technology, as long as you match the mic to the job at hand, you should be able to get the results you want at a price that won't break the bank.
Microphones have come a long way since the first ones were produced in the 1870s for use in telephones. Today, there are several basic designs, but they all do basically the same thing: transduce, or convert sound waves into an electrical signal. That signal is then amplified and sent to a speaker, which reverses the process and converts the electric signal back to glorious sound waves. While there is a wide variety of specialty designs for scientific, underwater or other uses, most musicians and vocalists use a combination of dynamic and condenser mics to fill the majority of their needs.

Naming names
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Today we have the naming of parts.
-Henry Reed
Titles come hard to me. I always avoid them until I've finished writing, and, even then, I have to agonize over them to make them even marginally suitable. Maybe that's why I'm fascinated at how projects and applications are named, a topic that has been in the news recently.
What strategies are used for names? What are the dangers in a name? The ideal strategy? These little-discussed questions interest me because I'm constantly dealing with them in my own work.
Because of my own difficulty with titles, I sympathize with those that choose a name that has no obvious connection with the project. Instead of hunting for a name that's both descriptive and memorable, why not just open a dictionary at random?
The trouble is, such names make the name almost useless. For instance, you wouldn't know from the name that Squid is a caching proxy, or Bluefish a coding editor.
Such names may be chosen randomly, or reflect the project founders' interests -- for instance, Python is said to have been borrowed from Monty Python, while Debian was a combination of Ian Murdock's name with his girlfriend's, apparently in an effort to show that he was still thinking of her even while he coded. In that sense, the name might define an ingroup by those who know the reference. However, to outsiders, the names offer no hint of what the software being developed might actually do.
The problem with such names is that you have to be careful about names based on in-jokes. "Burn, Baby, Burn" is inoffensive enough that the K3B burner never receives criticism. But, assuming that the Apache Foundation's name really did come from a description of the original software as "a patchy web server," I sometimes wonder if it ever receives pained notes from First Nations complaining about cultural appropriation.
Much worse was the controversy last year over two Python modules orginally called "Pantyshot" and "Upskirt" (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/violetblue/when-software-offends-the-pantyshot-package-controversy/509). These names would have been offensive at any time, but in an era when the barriers to women's participation in free software are being widely discussed and questioned, the result was a public relations disaster. Even more importantly, the incident was the final straw that caused one coder, a woman for whom English was a second language and who had accepted the name suggestion on trust, to quit her development work in disgust.
That's definitely not the sort of results you want from a name, but it is an object lesson in why names matter. What seems funny to you may be offensive to others. You also have to watch for unintended double-entendres, so you don't embarrass yourself the way that a corporation that will remain nameless did a couple of years of ago by advertising, "Our Facebook Friends Get Benefits."
Names as Marketing
Which brings up another point: Whether software is commerical or community-based, names are often enlisted in marketing.
If nothing else, a name might be chosen to show a relationship between apps. For instance, until a few years ago, The KDE desktop environment once used only names began with a "K," or at least had a "K" somewhere in the them. GNOME did the same, although never to the same extent, which was just as well -- as more than one Kritic Kracked about the KDE naming Konvention, it was just too Kute to Kontinue.
A more enduring tactic is to choose names that suggest the values that might be associated with the project, such as MS Excel or LibreOffice. Although the coiners of such names can spin elaborate explanations of why the name is appropriate, until you feel you are trapped in a seminar for English grad students (for example, the ebook manager Calibre's name used English spelling so that "libre" was part of the name), the basic tactic is simply to create desirable associations that -- with any luck -- will encourage users to install the software.
However, the latest twist is to use the process of choosing names as part of the marketing. Every six months, Ubuntu announces the code name of its next release, descending the alphabet one letter at a time as it chooses the adjective and animal for the name. The decision is announced in a blog under Mark Shuttleworth's name, in which he writes, mildly amusingly, using the next letter as many times as possible before announcing the chosen name. The choice is really non-news, but it never fails to receive extensive coverage and provide free publicity.
Fedora has enjoyed similar success with its own code names. However, since turning the choice of the last release over to community vote produced the name "Beefy Miracle," and far too many opportunities for cheap shots, (and now threatens names like Ketchy Ketchup and Spherical Cow), the Fedora Board is currently facing some unwanted publicity as it asks whether naming practices should continue (http://lwn.net/Articles/493589/)). So far, opinion appears divided between viewing the process as a waste of time that makes the distribution look ridiculous or as harmless fun that gives the Fedora community a sense of involvement.
Choosing an Effective Name
In contrast to all these tactics, I spent last weekend familiarizing myself with the newly released Calligra Suite. Calligra Suite is a fork of KOffice, and, as part of the fork, it has renamed all its applications except for those that have developed a reputation as standalone applications.
Calligra itself is a name presumably chosen to create associations with "calligraphy," although at least one person told me that the name reminded them of "Caligula," the cruel, crazed Roman emperor.
However, the names for its applications have at their best a pleasing simplicity and accuracy: Words for its word processor, Sheets for its spreadsheet, Flow for the flow chart program, Plan for its project manager, and Braindump for its new white board app.
The only new name that falls flat is Stage for the slide show editor, which suggests a performance, but not what kind. The others allow users to both remember them and to immediately identify each application's purpose. The names could be flashier, but they strike me as rare examples of truly well-chosen names.
If only other free software names could be as successful -- but, then, if they were, then the community would be a lot less colorful.
Naming Names - well Said!Great piece, Bruce! I've often wondered what developers were thinking when they named software. When you use things a lot, cutesy names can get 'old' very quickly (recursive acronyms are a whole new level of passe), and obscure combinations of letters can get very confusing when you are a newbie finding your way around a command line. Even as a user looking for a program in a GUI listing, having them buried in a folder with some software company's name can get irritating. Of course, I should remember that EA or GeekySoft or WTFisThisSoft developed my current favorite app.....
Most recently I downloaded a statistics app entitled 'R'. I mean seriously. At least the app and its website is sufficiently google-friendly to hit first spot in Google with only that letter, but really - a single letter as a name? Are you kidding me?

It's been one month since a devastating fire destroyed four buildings in the Mississippi River town of Marquette, leaving nine people without a home and resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
In the early hours of March 17, flames devoured the Marquette Hardware Store building, which also held a beauty salon and four apartments. The fire quickly spread to an adjacent duplex, single-family home and a storefront/garage, destroying a total of four buildings.
MarMac fire chief Dan Bickel said Friday the cause of the fire will likely never be known with any certainty, as there is physically nothing left behind to investigate. He did say the fire originated at the back of the Marquette Hardware Store building, where there was electrical wiring. He also said there's no reason to believe the cause of the fire was suspicious.
Incredibly, nobody was injured in this disaster.
Mary Jo Pirc owned the Marquette Hardware Store. It was a business that had been in her family for 69 years. She also owned the entire building that housed it, as well as the duplex behind the structure.
"I've been over here everyday, picking up nails off the sidewalk," Pirc said Friday, standing in front of the now-empty lot on North Street that held her buildings.
She lives just across the street from the site and said she's still in the habit of walking "to work" every morning.
"It's been in our family for so many years, and it's just-- it's always been there," Pirc said. "That's the hardest part: realization that it's no longer there...I think that's why I keep coming back."
Pirc, who is 70, said she made a difficult decision this week.
"I have made a decision on, I'm not going to rebuild...That was a decision that was hard to reach, too, because we put so much time and effort into the store and all our rentals and everything," Pirc said. "I actually thought about rebuilding, I really did, about 15 times, and I thought, 'No, I'd better leave that to somebody younger and maybe somebody with some different ideas and everything, so that's what I've decided."
She said she hopes the person who purchases the lot from her will build another business, for the sake of Marquette, her small hometown.
She and other fire victims are now in the process of itemizing their losses for insurance purposes.
Pirc said community support has kept her going through this ordeal.
"You can't understand the support that you get from the area and the people and the communities," Pirc said. "It's not just our little local community, it's far-strung. It's just like, wow. It's fantastic. It's beyond my imagination."
The total cost of all the damage won't be known until insurance claims are filed. In addition destroying four buildings, the fire also melted siding and caused smoke damage in other structures nearby.
A long-time group in Marquette called Friends Helping Friends is collecting donations of money for the victims. Organizer Cathy Corpian said the victims still need money to buy furniture for the new homes they've found since the fire.
To contribute, Corpian said, people can make out a check to Friends Helping Friends and send it to:Friends Helping Friends FundP.O. BOX 371McGregor, Iowa 52157

Can pernicious anemia/ vitamin B-12 deficiency be prevented?
The autoimmune process that causes pernicious anemia cannot be prevented. Vitamin B-12 deficiency that is caused by conditions such as other gastrointestinal diseases and gastrointestinal surgery is preventable only to the extent that these causative conditions themselves are preventable.
Vitamin B-12 is derived from animal (for example, meat, fish, poultry, milk) sources, but vitamin B-12 deficiency in vegetarians or vegans can be prevented by the use of oral vitamin B-12 supplements. An oral dose of 100-200 micrograms (mcg) taken weekly is sufficient. Pregnant and nursing women who are vegetarians or vegan should take a B-12 supplement and inform their doctors they are vegetarians or vegan.
What is the prognosis for pernicious anemia/ vitamin B-12 deficiency?
If untreated, the neurological complications of pernicious anemia can be permanent and end in death, but pernicious anemia is easily and effectively treated by the administration of vitamin B-12. Life-long treatment is required.
People with pernicious anemia have a slightly increased risk of stomach cancer when compared to the normal population. The incidence of stomach cancer in people with pernicious anemia is 2-3 times higher than in the general population of the same age.

Does your pet need car insurance?
A few policies now cover veterinary expenses -- or, heaven forbid, burial costs -- for pets injured in automobile accidents.
Related topics: insurance, auto insurance, car insurance, accident, bills
Some auto insurers are providing motorists with a little more peace of mind when they're behind the wheel with Fido and Fluffy. Special car insurance helps cover the cost of care if pets are injured in an auto accident.
This isn't pet health insurance, which covers a pet that needs treatment at a veterinarian's office. Instead, an auto insurer's pet-injury coverage typically kicks in if a pet is traveling in your car, is injured in an accident and needs veterinary care. Some policies also pay out if the pet is killed in a crash. (Also be aware that pet owners can take precautions to keep their pets safer in cars.)
Progressive was the first car insurance company to offer pet coverage, starting in 2007. If you are involved in an automobile accident, Progressive's insurance policy "covers the people in the accident as well as the cats and dogs," says spokesperson Brittany Senary.
Progressive's pet-injury coverage is built into the company's collision insurance. It provides up to $1,000 to pay vet bills if a pet is injured in an accident or during a vehicle fire or theft. Coverage also applies to cats and dogs that are in recreational vehicles, boats or commercial vehicles.
You need to mention your pet's injuries when you file an accident claim, and then submit a copy of the veterinary bill along with proof of payment.
More auto insurance companies pounce
Since Progressive introduced its pet policy, other car insurance companies have followed suit.
In February, Chubb Group of Insurance Cos., of Warren, N.J., introduced an auto insurance policy that covers $2,000 of pet injuries in a handful of states. The company hopes to expand the program to other states soon, says Christie Alderman, the vice president of new products and services manager at Chubb Personal Insurance.
Chubb launched the coverage after seeing how much policyholders cherish their pets.
"When something tragic happens, people's first thoughts -- after themselves and their family -- (are) about their pets' safety," Alderman says.
The billions of dollars Americans spend on pets each year and the many websites and blogs focused on pet insurance "further confirmed for Chubb that this was important to our customers," she says.
Arbella Mutual Insurance, a regional insurer in Quincy, Mass., also has introduced auto insurance for pets. The company began offering a "pet lover's endorsement" for its auto insurance policies last year.
For an additional $20 a year, pet owners can receive up to $500 in coverage for cats and dogs injured in a wreck. The money can be used to pay for treating the pet's injuries, or for burial or other costs if the cat or dog dies as a result of its injuries.
Different companies, different policies
If you're shopping for a car insurance plan that covers pets, be aware that coverage varies by insurer.
For example, while the coverage provided by Progressive and Arbella applies only to cats and dogs, Chubb's pet protection applies to any kind of pet, as well as animals pulled in a trailer (such as horses) that some might not think of as pets.
"Chubb's customers have lizards, horses, birds, bunnies and all manner of exotic pets, so it only makes sense we extend coverage to these animals as well," Alderman says.
However, Chubb coverage does not extend to animals used for income-generating purposes, such as race horses.
This article was reported by Susan Ladika for Insuance.com.
If you as a driver has a dog, cat, or whatever animal on your lap and you have an accident, you should be criminally charged for animal cruelty and being a reckless driver.
However, if you have your pet properly restrained (e.g. in kennel in back or the car is partitioned so not to interfere with your duty as driver-in-command), then insurance should kick-in if a car accident occurs.
This was absolutely a selling point for me when Progressive 1st offered this insurance. My pets walk every day and travel in the car daily and this is a terrific policy to cover the animals. Vets are ridiculous with their charges and any little bit would help cover costs of treatments if something should happen.
Any responsible owner knows to restrain a pet when traveling. Mine use harnesses that click into the seat belt, inexpensive and an added level of protection.
I am a fan of progressive for this reason, but Progressive also had negatives with customer service and a low rating by customers.
The idea appeals to my sense of caring for our pets. But for one aspect that worries me....
There are some very cruel people whom may incinerate a dog or cat, in the car, for the purposes of getting paid for the dead animal. Take that portion away from the policy, please. You know that there are people out there that are truly that vile. Some would kill their own spouse or child for the insurance $, let alone a dog or cat = no conscience.
