Once again my husband came home with an offering from the Turning Leaf folks. I keep telling myself its not his fault. Hes just trying to fill up the wine rack with bottles that fit the budget. Like myself, he is still learning about what types and brands of wine we prefer.
The bouquet is interesting and includes a scent I can not quite place. There is banana, orange tree leaves and a little twig in there. It smells sweet like maraschino cherries. I am delaying the taste as I have a feeling I will be very disappointed.
It is not as bad as I thought it would be but it is not good. The Pinot is a very one note wine. The initial taste is sharp and dry but the unbalanced tannins send your face into contortions; the whole lemon sucking effect.
The more I drink the more the smell of the wine changes, from sweet and fruity to odd and slightly medicinal. It is as though some cherry scented cough drops slipped into my glass when I was not looking.
The texture is more sticky than smooth lingering on the roof of my mouth rather than refreshing my palette. I taste the slightly woody tone to the wine which I like but its not enough to redeem the Pinot and its not enough to gain a place on my wine rack. The density is light and forgettable.
I had to pair this with any meal I was not really enjoying anyway. It is without structure. I am not spitting it out but I am not interested in drinking more. Pinot Noir does not seem to be the wine for me. It is all sharp red cherries rather than black cherry and plums.
The Turning Leaf Company, despite using grapes from Germany, continues to unimpress. This is something I may have drunk before I really started understanding about wine and what I actually like to drink. And that's what counts in the end: drinking wine you enjoy.
That and nothing more.

This happens almost every time I install updates and reboot.
It gets stuck for a while at shut down, then burps a blue screen and restarts right away.
Once booted you have a nice welcome popup titled "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown":

Were those two diagnostic files (the .dmp and .cml) sent to MSFT?
And how come the .xml file gets deleted after being sent?
Maybe I want to keep a trace of it.

Windows 7 Offline Privacy Statement for the Microsoft Error Reporting Service
For the most up-to-date privacy information, see the online Windows 7 Privacy Statement at:
The Microsoft Error Reporting Service helps Microsoft and Microsoft partners diagnose problems in the software you use and provide solutions. Not all problems have solutions, but when solutions are available, they are offered as steps to solve a problem you've reported or as updates to install. To help prevent problems and make software more reliable, some solutions are also included in service packs and future versions of the software.
The Microsoft Error Reporting Service also provides Setup Repair, an error reporting service that may run during Windows setup if a problem occurs.
Many Microsoft software programs, including Windows 7, are designed to work with the reporting service. If a problem occurs in one of these software programs, you might be asked if you want to report it. If you host virtual machines using a Windows operating system, reports generated by the Windows operating system for the Microsoft Error Reporting Service might include information about virtual machines.
The reporting service collects information that is useful for diagnosing and solving the problem that has occurred, such as:
* Where the problem happened in the software or hardware
* The type or severity of the problem
* Files that help describe the problem
* Basic software and hardware information
* Possible software performance and compatibility problems
These reports might unintentionally contain personal information. For example, a report that contains a snapshot of computer memory might include your name, part of a document you were working on, or data that you recently submitted to a website. If a report is likely to contain this type of information, Windows will ask if you want to send this information, even if you have enabled automatic reporting through the "Recommended settings" option in setup, or Control Panel. This gives you the opportunity to review the report before sending it to Microsoft. Reports including files and data might be stored on your computer until you have an opportunity to review and send them, or after they have been sent.
If an error report contains personal information, Microsoft does not use the information to identify you or contact you. In addition, if you enable automatic reporting through the "Recommended settings" option in setup, or in Control Panel, the reporting service will send basic information about where problems occur automatically, but these reports will not have the detail described above.
After you send a report, the reporting service might ask you for more information about the error you experienced. If you choose to provide your phone number or e-mail address in this information, your error report will be personally identifiable. Microsoft might contact you to request additional information to help solve the problem you reported.
The Microsoft Error Reporting Service generates a globally unique identifier (GUID) that is stored on your computer and sent with error reports to uniquely identify your computer. The GUID is a randomly generated number; it does not contain any personal information and is not used to identify you. We use the GUID to distinguish how widespread the feedback we receive is and how to prioritize it. For example, the GUID allows Microsoft to distinguish between one customer experiencing a problem one hundred times and one hundred customers experiencing the same problem once.
Microsoft uses information about errors and problems to improve Microsoft products and services as well as third-party software and hardware designed for use with these products and services. Microsoft employees, contractors, vendors, and partners might be provided access to information collected by the reporting services. However, they will use the information only to repair or improve Microsoft products and services and third-party software and hardware designed for use with Microsoft products and services.
Microsoft might share aggregate information about errors and problems. Microsoft uses aggregate information for statistical analysis. Aggregate information does not contain specific information from individual reports, nor does it include any personal or confidential information that might have been collected from a report.
Except as described in this statement, personal information you provide will not be transferred to third parties without your consent. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as performing statistical analysis. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Microsoft may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of Microsoft or our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the software; or (c) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of Microsoft employees, customers, or the public.
Information collected by or sent to Microsoft by Windows 7 may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers maintain facilities. Microsoft abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
If you choose the recommended settings during Windows 7 setup, basic information about errors will be sent automatically to Microsoft. If a more detailed error report is required, you will be prompted to review it before it is sent. You can change this setting at any time by going to Action Center in Control Panel.
Microsoft is committed to helping protect the security of your information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities.

We had a great time! And I had so much help. I learned the Bingo Lingo for sure. There's a lot in calling Bingo in that you have to find the right rythym and timing. You can't be too slow and you can't be too fast. But as I worked it, I think I got the best timing going on. After talking to Sean what most people want from a Bingo game, we chose to play for quarters. But then, a resident came up and gave me a five dollar bill for the last game - black out. And low and behold, Sean won the Black Out. So, that was kind of funny. There is no way to cheat at Bingo, it is what it is. ahahahha!
Anyway, we all had a great time. Dorothy came to assist me, her son has been there for seven years. Both of which are very wonderful light filled people. We are having a very wonderful experience in our new place. And it is so close to home. Certainly loving that two minute trip home for me. And Sean says he feels good knowing that I am just two minutes away. So, all in all, everything is majorly good.
Tomorrow, Sean gets to go to a movie theater on a field trip. He is looking forward to that and so am I for him. He is just getting in the groove of where he is now. Lots to do and lots of great people.
As always, thanking you all so very much for joining us in this wonderful journey. we certainly are finding the joy in every moment and realizing that it is the simple things that mean so much in our everyday life. Finding comfort in our everyday is the mainstay in life.
Our wish to you is to find your mainstay in everyday.
Love you all,
Deb and Sean

Dr. Wilkinson, who is presently seeking the Republican nomination for the United States Senate, has accepted the invitation from S.A.P.E to speak before the Weber State Studentbody and explain his economic and political views. Should Dr. Wilkinson succeed in obtaining the Republican nomination on March 31, he will enter the primary election on August 11; that success will run him against the apparent sole candidate on the Democratic ticket, Senator Frank Moss.

After graduating from George Washington University, he obtained the degree of Dr. of Juridical Science from Harvard. One of his greatest successes was realized when he represented the Ute Indians, spending 16 years in research and debate, to obtain a judgment of $32 million for the Indians.Since that time he has served as president of Brigham Young University, resigning after 13 years in that position without a salary, to seek the office of U.S. Senator from Utah. EDECUUAM n 'QUIET "Quiet Village" is the name of the Freshman dance to be held in March 14 and will serve as a "celebration after finals" because if the good grades, or something to make you forget the bad ones. The theme is Polynesian, and the Union Ballroom will be converted into a tropical paradise with the help of Mr. Arvin Shreeve, designer of the Ogden Municipal Park, who will decorate the ballroom using enormous quantities of fresh flowers and green plants to further enhance the theme presented. The dress is semi-formal, and orchids, especially imported from Hawaii will be given away to each and every girl at the dance. The Freshmen will vote for a queen to reign at the ball. The contestants are nine: Dixie Hess, Marilyn Thomas, Mary Pat Hennessy, Helen Carr, Nyla Barrett, Elaine Wayment, Diana Laws, Connie Argyle, and Dixie Taylor. The Scotsmen, from Utah State University, will provide the music for the evening. The refreshments will be unlike those served at any other dance this year in either type or quantity. Freshman Class President Eddie Allen is quoted as saying, "It will be the biggest dance of the year, we promise." This dance should be a most fitting climax to the end of the winter quarter and will be an evening of complete enjoyment of dancing and music for only $1.50 a couple. REGISTRATION AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Before registering, it is important that all students check at the main desk in the Union Building, as the registrar's office has now compiled a complete list of all students' cumulative hours, in order that each student may know whether he is a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. Registrar Milton Mecham advised all students to please check this list so that there would be no confusion as to what date they should register. Registration will be on March 17 and 18 for day students. Night students will register on March 16. Spring schedules are available for all students who wish them. They may be picked up at the Registrar's office. NOTICE All library books are due on or before March 11. Students owing books or fines in the Library will not be permitted to register for spring quarter. Transcripts of credit are not issued to students owing books or fines. GRADUATION All students who have applied for graduation are to check with their advisors or the division chairman before registering. This is in order that there will be no question about the hours the student has compiled. Graduation fees must be paid before the end of the second week of the spring quarter. This fee is to be paid at the cashier's office. BULLETIN A change has been made in the class schedule : Band time has been changed from 12:00 to 1:00 daily during spring quarter. This is for the convenience of students interested in band work who have 1 o'clock classes. "The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future" will serve as the theme of the 1963-64 Acorn. Since this is the 75th anniversary of WSC, the Acorn staff felt it would be a fitting tribute to Weber State to review the past 75 years of her progress and fine achievements. As a special feature, the yearbook will show a vivid contrast between old and new, not only in relation to buildings and grounds, but also in student life, social clubs, sports and drama activities. An added feature will be a letter ACC DBECEMT VILLAGE' from each of the living past presidents of the college to the student-body.The Acorn, which is under the able leadership of Norm Inouye and Pam Brown, will attempt to bring to the studentbody not only a most informative but also a very enjoyable and memorable yearbook for 1963-64. If you haven't purchased your yearbook yet, it is not too late-Yearbooks will be on sale at Spring Registration. Be sure to reserve your own copy of the. 75th Anniversary edition of the Acorn!!!

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Caitlin Cahow: Boston College law student named in Obama's Sochi delegation
A Boston College law student and Harvard University graduate who is openly gay has been named in the U.S. presidential delegation to the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, where Russia's anti-gay policies have stirred controversy.
Caitlin Cahow, a two-time Olympic medalist in ice hockey, was studying for her Constitutional Law exam when the White House released the names of the delegation, USA Today reported.
The 28-year-old is a member of the United States women's national ice hockey team and also plays for Boston Blades in the Canadian Women's Hockey League.
"We are very proud of Caitlin and are not surprised that she has been chosen as a US delegate for the Winter Olympic Games. She is an outstanding student, person and ambassador," BC Spokesman Jack Dunn said in an email to Metro.
Before attending BC, Cahow graduated from Harvard University in 2008.
"It's obviously a statement that's being made, but I think it's an incredibly respectful one," Cahow told USA Today Sports. "Basically, the White House is highlighting Americans who know what it means to have freedoms and liberties under the constitution. That's really what we're representing in Sochi and it's not at all different from what's espoused in the spirit of Olympism.
"So I think it's just a great group of people. I can't believe I've been named one of them because it's a remarkable roster and I just think that we're going to represent what the best America can be. Hopefully, it will unify all of Team USA and send a message of love and acceptance to the world."
Cahow tweeted Tuesday she was "humbled and proud to represent our country with these remarkable ambassadors."
She will join former tennis star Billie Jean King, one of the first prominent athletes to publicly acknowledge her homosexuality, to attend athletic events, meet with U.S. athletes, and attend the Closing Ceremony on Feb. 23.

State Rep. Tyrone Brooks could be suspended from office after a federal grand jury issued a 30-count indictment against the longtime Georgia lawmaker on Thursday.
The 54-page indictment against Brooks spells out allegations that he diverted almost a million dollars in charitable donations.
The donations included money from companies such as Coca-Cola and Georgia-Pacific.
Federal prosecutors charge that Brooks used the funds to pay personal expenses.
As Brooks awaits court proceedings, the state Constitution calls for Gov. Deal to name a three-person panel in coming weeks to review the case. The panel's conclusions could mandate that the governor suspend Brooks from office.
Following an appearance in Gwinnett County, Deal described the charges as "tragic."
"Any time that you have those kinds of problems with public officials, I think it is not good news for anybody, and certainly something that we regret. But it is something that has to be dealt with, and I'm sure the U.S. Attorney's Office will do so in a timely fashion and we will respond accordingly under state law," Deal said.
According to federal court documents, Brooks is to be arraigned on the charges next Wednesday.
His attorney is listed as former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes. However, Barnes' law office declined to say if he would continue on the case now that an indictment has been returned.
Brooks has linked the federal investigation to his civil rights work, including efforts to reveal those responsible for the lynching of two black couples in 1946.
"We are going to explain why all of this is happening and the connection to the Moore's Ford Bridge lynchings," Brooks told FOX 5 on Thursday.
If Brooks is suspended, his seat would stay open until the next election.
The state panel in Brooks' case will include the Georgia attorney general and a state representative and state senator to be named by the governor.

Q: Why won't my bearded iris bloom? I've had them for several years and they still haven't bloomed.
A: Luckily, the Master Gardeners just heard Dr. JoNelle Zager speak on bearded iris. One of the things she mentioned was that the plants should not be planted too deep. A quarter-sized amount of the rhizome should actually show through the soil surface. In my yard, I have two patches of bearded iris. One patch blooms faithfully every year. The other patch has never bloomed. After Dr. Zager's talk, I dug around each patch. The plants that were blooming all had the top of the rhizome showing above the ground. The other irises were about two inches below the top of the soil. Another possibility is the amount of sun the plants are getting. Dr. Zager says that the best sun is morning sun. My blooming plants are on the east side of the bed and are shaded from the afternoon sun. If you want to plant bearded iris, now is the time through early November in order to get blooms this next year; don't forget bone meal for your existing plants.
Q: What kind of fruit trees can I plant in the Seguin area?
A: I believe that this has been covered in this column before, but I will comment on some fruit trees that I like and that a worker at a local nursery likes. First of all, fruit trees will be arriving at the end of January, beginning of February, so now is the time to do your location planning.
Some of the following fruits I have not grown so will rely on the nursery employee's recommendations as well as aggie-horticulture. He likes the Rosborough blackberry and said that it is similar to Brazos, a long time favorite for this area. He grows and likes Blenheim apricots. He also suggests buying a Dorsett Golden apple with an Anna apple (for cross pollination). Granny Smith is sold sometimes as a self pollinator but will set more fruit if grown with Gala, Golden Delicious, Jersey Mac or Mollies Delicious.
Celeste is my favorite fig tree. The employee says that White Everbearing fig is the best producer in our area followed by Black Mission.
This season my Methley plum outdid itself and was absolutely covered with plums. Other plums for the area include Santa Rosa and Allred. My Warren pear tree had eight pears, but is still pretty much a baby. Another pear for the area is the Orient.
La Feliciana peach is a recommended peach. Remember to keep up with your borer sprays because I lost a three year old peach tree last year.
Recommended grapes are Champanel and Black Spanish.
The two of us disagreed on blueberries. He said that the ordinary gardener would not want to go the trouble of growing blueberries in our alkaline area. I have grown blueberries in large pots of peat moss for five years and have a good crop of fruit every year. Of course, they must be transplanted when they outgrow the pot.
Clara Mae Marcotte is a Texas Master Gardener with the Texas AgriLife Extension. If you have a question to be answered, call the Master Gardeners at 830-379-1972 or leave a message to be answered. The website is guadalupecountymastergardeners.org. The Master Gardener research library is open Mondays from 8:30 to noon, on the second floor of the Texas AgriLife Extension building, 210 East Live Oak in Seguin.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Federal charges have been filed against four more people in a timeshare telemarketing fraud scheme based in Green Bay.
The total number of defendants is now at eight with the most recent charged being: 28-year-old Tina Baalman, 36-year-old Jason Schultz, 24-year-old Jessica Gilbert, and 30-year-old Jessica Weinhart.
Prosecutors say the four defrauded people in all 50 states and Canada of more than $2.3 million. From 2007 to 2011, prosecutors allege that victims were told interested buyers were ready to purchase their timeshares in exchange for "administrative fees" ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
The U.S. Attorney's office says the eight suspects operated out of Administrative Timeshare Resales, Integrated Advertising Solutions, Midwest Timeshares and National Timeshare Resales.
Many of the alleged victims were older and had previously been victimized by similar schemes.
Each defendant faces up to at least 20 years in prison if convicted.

LANSING, MI (WTVB) - Coming away from the great recession, Michigan has led the nation in manufacturing growth and the country seems to be feeding off the improvement. U.S. manufacturing is moving at its fastest pace in the last two years. The latest figures from the Institute for Supply Management show last month was the best since June of 2011. Government budget cuts had hurt the industry in the early part of the year, but orders have been up in recent months. New orders are also at their highest level in two years.

Before the MotoGP race at Mazda Raceways , and our lucky pre-grid visit . Yamaha gave us the opportunity to walk right in their secret garages (team Fiat and team Monster).
Located in the back of the garage, the storage area is packed with expensive supplies, all stored in travel cases that probably cost more than any street bikes. Tires are cooking on aluminum racks, and precious suspension bits are piled as if it was Christmas. In between the storage and the pit garage, a narrow engineering room offers just enough space to pack 5 or 6 engineers and their laptops. Behind all that you 'finally' enter the dream garage, with only two bikes and not one bit of mess anywhere to be found. The floor is carpeted to the team colors and all tool boxes are shinning as if they were just getting out of the show room.
It certainly take more mess for anyone to change their oil than it takes those mechanics to change every single part on those bikes altogether. Simply amazing!
Also check out the Autoblog article made by our friend Drew Philips. He took some great shots during the same visit.

The Heisman Humanitarian award was established in 2006 by The Heisman Trophy Trust to recognize and honor selfless athletes who continually give back to the community and seek to improve the lives of others. The award was created with the hope that others would follow the recipient's footsteps and pursue their own charitable causes.
The Heisman Humanitarian Award has been given to the following individuals:
2012: Jeff Gordon, Stock Car Racing Champion
2011: Marty Lyons, former NFL Star
2010: Warrick Dunn, FSU & NFL Star
2009: Mia Hamm, Women's Soccer Legend
2008: Pat LaFontaine, former hockey superstar
2007: George Martin, former NFL Star
2006: Joey Cheek, Olympic speed skating gold medalist
Below is a brief description of previous Heisman Humanitarian awardees.
Jeff Gordon is a four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and, with 86 career wins, is one of the world's most recognizable drivers. Gordon began his racing career at the age of five and had won 35 main events by age six. His penchant for success continued throughout his career, emphasized by his rank of third on all-time wins list.
Gordon's success extends far beyond the racetrack. Inspired by his crew chief's son's battle with leukemia in 1992, he began supporting a variety of organizations over two decades ago. In 1999, Jeff established the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation to aid in the fight against pediatric cancer. With the Foundation's support, organizations are able to improve patients' quality of life, provide essential treatments, and conduct medical research that brings us closer to a cure every day.
The Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation has contributed over $11 million to foundations that support children battling cancer.
To learn more about the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation, please visit http://www.jeffgordonchildrensfoundation.org.
While still active as a player, Lyons established The Marty Lyons Foundation when he realized there was much more to life than football. The Marty Lyons Foundation was established to fulfill the special wishes of children who have been diagnosed as having a terminal or life threatening illness by providing and arranging special wish requests. Since 1982, Lyons' Foundation has brought much-needed joy to children and families nationwide.
The Marty Lyons Foundation has chapters around the country that have together granted more than six thousand wishes.
To learn more about The Marty Lyons Foundation, please visit http://www.martylyonsfoundation.org.
During his 1997 rookie season, Dunn started Homes for the Holidays to share his mother's dream of owning a home with other single parents. Although his mother did not live to see her dream fulfilled, Dunn has been able to award more than $2 million in furnishings and $500,000 in down payment assistance to over 100 single parents and over 250 children and dependents.
Dunn expanded his efforts with the creation in 2002 of the Warrick Dunn Family Foundation. Dunn draws on life lessons and experiences from his own life and applies them to the Family Foundation's mission of providing additional programs and support to single-parent families and the community.
For more information on the Warren Dunn Family foundation, please visit www.warrickdunnfoundation.org.
Warrick Dunn was presented the 2010 Heisman Humanitarian Award by the Heisman Trophy Trust. (L-R) Trustees Anne Donahue, Jim Corcoran, Sandy Wurmfeld and Dunn
Hamm started the Mia Hamm Foundation after her brother Garrett passed away due to complications associated with aplastic anemia. The foundation operates with two goals in mind: raising funds and awareness for families needing marrow or cord blood transplants and continuing the growth in opportunities for young women in sports. Hamm chose these missions because they are issues that have impacted her personally throughout her life.
Through her foundation and charitable works, Hamm continues to work toward equality while promoting strength and confidence in young women. Hamm is a pioneer in her sport and a role model for athletes and fans alike who believe in equal opportunity, Title IX legislation, and the love of the game.
For more information on the Mia Hamm Foundation, please visit www.miafoundation.org.
The foundation is currently preparing to open a Lion's Den interactive game room at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia- marking the 9th hospital on their game room network. This room - with a clubhouse feel - introduces video games, PCs, and video conferencing to the healing process enabling sick children to connect to the outside world during their hospital stay.
The foundation has also delivered almost 300 custom-built mobile XBox 360 units to more than 60 other hospitals across North America. Microsoft has built an XBox Live online community that enables these children to play with kids in other hospitals in a safe, online world. LaFontaine recently brought the Stanley Cup for a tour of all Lion's Dens and he has brightened the day of patients in hospitals from Montreal to Jacksonville.
On a recent Lion's Den Room visit, Dr. Mehmet Oz said, "When kids get sick, we have to remember that they're still kids. They still want to have fun doing the same things they did when healthy. How better to do that than in a safe environment where they can play with other kids around the country who are facing similar challenges?"
Oz added, "By getting kids to understand that they don't have to be lonely or isolated when recovering from an illness we can address some of the stress-related disorders that we know hinder their ability to recover. It's that holistic approach to wellness that gets these kids better faster and keeps them out of hospitals."

On September 11, 2001, Martin lost friends in the attacks. In the aftermath of 9/11, he learned about the thousands of the rescue and recovery workers from all 50 states that were suffering from various health related issues due to the hazards they faced while serving at Ground Zero. To help those workers, Martin founded and directs a Journey for 9/11 to raise awareness about and funds for their medical monitoring and treatment. In September 2007, Martin began a charitable cross-country walk from the George Washington Bridge in New York City to San Diego, CA. He finished his walk on June 21, 2008, and touched thousands of lives along the way. In total, Martin walked through portions of 13 states and Washington DC, wearing out 27 pairs of sneakers and 413 sets of socks. Martin lost 41 pounds during the 3,003-mile walk, while gaining countless friends and supports along the way.
To date, Martin has raised more than $2 million for the treatment of ailing Ground Zero workers. Hackensack University Medical Center (N.J.), North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health Systems and the Mt. Sinai Medical Center are matching in medical services all donated funds from the Journey. Although Martin completed the walk, the mission is still ongoing. The ailing heroes are still in need of more funds for treatment, and Martin's charitable initiative continues.

from 2006 winner Joey Cheek.

Right To Play is committed to improving the lives of children and to strengthening their communities by translating the best practices of sport and play into opportunities to promote development, health and peace.
Cheek joined other athletes in support of this cause and has also co-founded his own philanthropy, Team Darfur, with UCLA water polo player Brad Greiner. Team Darfur is an international coalition of athletes committed to raising awareness about and bringing an end to the crisis in Darfur, Sudan.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - Campaigns are expensive. The Center for Responsive Politics says both major parties have jointly spent 3 point 4 million dollars in the two congressional districts that cover northern Wisconsin.
Most of that has been in the 7th District where Democrat Pat Kreitlow is trying to unseat Republican Sean Duffy. That race alone has cost 2-point-8 million so far.
In the 8th District, Republican incumbent Reid Ribble is challenged by political newcomer Jamie Wall. The parties and PAC's have spent a combined $744,000 dollars there.

News Corp's publishing unit gets more cash
The cash flows are still positive, but the challenge is to counter the secular decline in the publishing industry and revive sales.
We estimate the value of News Corp's publishing business is close to $4.3 billion, taking into account the total net debt that News Corp has and distributing it in proportion of its individual business segments. The company had very little net debt when it reported its results last quarter.
This implies that with $2.6 billion cash infusion, the valuation of News Corp's publishing business could bump up to $7 billion. The publishing business suffered significant losses last fiscal year, primarily due to the write-down of assets. The cash flows are still positive, but the challenge is to counter the secular decline in the publishing industry and revive sales.
With this cash infusion, the publishing company will be little more than one-tenth the size of the remaining video-content focused entity. This includes News Corp's several newspapers in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia, as well as its magazine publishing business.
The phone hacking scandal had a severe impact on News Corp's publishing business in the U.K., as well as its image worldwide. Its financial impact on the company's market value was a lot more than that could be justified by its fundamentals. As a result, News Corp decided to separate its TV and movie businesses from the publishing scandal, and redefine its image -- while keeping bad publicity to a separate unit. This way, it can dilute any further impact on the value of its remaining businesses.
Furthermore, unlike its movie and TV networks businesses, the publishing business has not shown much strength and perhaps would be better managed as a separate entity. The publishing business is facing a secular decline, as print media is being replaced by digital media, which has yet to be monetized to the same extent as print. A lot of digital content is available for free while print content has been traditionally distributed based on subscriptions or individual purchases.
Our price estimate for News Corp stands at $30, roughly in line with the market price.

Streamlining Routine Chromatography Analyses using eWorkflows
This event is now available to view on-demand. Please register to access the recording.
When setting up a chromatography analysis it is often a requirement to follow guidelines, like a standard operating procedure (SOP), for sequence creation, sample analysis and result calculation. But how do you ensure the rules of the SOPs are being routinely followed, especially during method transfer between laboratories? There are many areas where manual sequence creation can cause errors.
This web seminar will showcase how the eWorkflows™ feature within the Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ Chromeleon™ 7 Chromatography Data System (CDS) software provides a simple template for the fast creation of complete, correct sequences with pre-defined method and report files and well-defined structures. We will demonstrate how eWorkflows have been applied in the Chromeleon Extension Pack to a routine application: USP 34 / EP 5.2 / BP2011 - Uniformity of Dosage Units.
Learn how eWorkflows minimizes the amount of training required to run any analysis, safeguard method transfer, and take you from samples to reliable results in a minimum number of steps.Key Learning Objectives:
- Chromeleon CDS is the most modern, gold standard CDS from Thermo Scientific with intelligent functionality, saving you time and money
- The Chromeleon Extension Pack provides eWorkflow templates for common routine analyses
- How eWorkflows can simplify reliable sequence creation and method transfer
- Lab Managers, supervisors and senior lab technicians in routine and method development laboratories
- Compliance/QA staff looking to improve their quality tools and procedures

The Anaheim Ducks welcomed their starting goalie Jonas Hiller back to health by going out against Columbus and playing what Captain Ryan Getzlaf called "the worst period of hockey we've played, of the season probably." Some howdy-do for the goalie who missed four games recently after being relieved by phenom Viktor Fasth after period one in Dallas on February 8th, when Hiller was hurt. He was dressed Saturday in Nashville in the Ducks' 3-2 victory over the Predators, but he was not called upon to hit the ice.
The Ducks allowed the Jackets to mount an early onslaught, and by the ten-minute mark of the game, the shots were Columbus 10 and Anaheim two. Add to that a goal at just past 3 minutes of period one, and it was a start that might have had Hiller wishing he were still on the bench. Perhaps surprising was that it was versus the worst team in the league, as far as point accumulation goes. Columbus came into the game last in the NHL, Anaheim second.
Other numbers also showed the disparity between the two teams. Anaheim had the 9th-rated power play, Columbus the 26th. In goals for, Anaheim was fifth coming in, Columbus 27th. In goals against, the Ducks were tied for 18th, whereas Columbus was 25th. Dismal indeed. But given the sniff of opportunity, the Blue Jackets played like an NHL squad.
Hiller deflected criticism of the Ducks' bad start in the locker room after the game. "I felt pretty good. I was excited to be back in; I wanted to play as good as I can."
His captain praised him for his efforts, saying, "Hillsy comes out and makes a couple of unbelievable saves to start the game off. We could easily have been down a couple" in the period. That's an understatement.
Hiller's heroics in the first period included a save that he made with his back turned to the opposing player at the left side of the net. When asked about it, he said, "When [the Columbus player] got the rebound, I just tried to put as much body in front of him as possible, and I mean, I thought I was working hard. If you do that, you're going to get those bounces. You just try to protect as much of the net as possible. He hit me in the elbow or whatever. Those kind of things make you feel good out there, because you feel like, 'Tonight, I get the bounces. I can feel the puck.'"
The Ducks got their act together as period one wound on. They began an offensive strategy of firing long shots at Columbus's Bobrovsky, with shots 3-6 being of that variety. Nothing went in, but they were making a point–we get that we're in a game here. They ended up scoring two goals, 21 seconds apart, in the last fourth of the period.
The first goal was on the power play, with Peter Holland, a first-round pick of the team in 2009, getting the goal, his second NHL marker. He has played in four games thus far this year, and on this night, aside from his power play duties, was on the fourth line with Patrick Maroon and Kyle Palmieri. It's a combination which has been together in the minors for two years.
His goal was a power play tally, but in odd circumstances. He was whistled off for interference at 13:50, on a play that he had no choice but to take a penalty. Defenseman Sbisa had pinched too far into the Columbus zone and missed a puck, which gave the Blue Jackets a 2-on-1. Holland took the penalty tieing up a guy down the slot coming back into his own end.
His goal was scored when Bobby Ryan saw him coming out of the box and fed a long pass. He had a clear breakaway and shot to the long side, the left side, and put the puck under the goalie's arm.
The follow-up, by Getzlaf 21 seconds later, was the result of the Getzlaf-Perry-Beleskey line being pests in the Columbus zone. The puck was turned over because Getzlaf forced the Columbus player to make a mistake. He then went to the net, and put the puck under and around the goalie, moving from the top of the crease outward. It sounds odd, and lots of plays in this game were. Some nights, things simply happen this way.
Neither team scored in period two, and only 12 shots were taken, combined. If there was anything worthy of gossip in the second, it was that Boudreau moved Winnik up from line three to two, to play with Selanne and Bonino, and he moved Bobby Ryan down to play with Cogliano and Koivu.
Nearly midway through period three, Cory Perry scored on the power play, and Columbus answered with 12 minutes gone to threaten at 3-2. The goal came on a delayed penalty call, though the Columbus goalie took so long to recognize it that his team did not get the advantage. But then Anaheim's defense and goaltending took charge. Of course, in the case of the goalie, one should probably say, "took charge again," given Hiller's work in period one.
Toward the end of the game, with Cory Perry in the penalty box for holding at 19:26, the Ducks again rallied to protect their lead. Saku Koivu, notably, laid out to block a shot off the foot with 4 seconds left, something Getzlaf commended after the game.
The defense also enacted their heroics, particularly Beauchemin. In the last thirty seconds, Columbus challenged, and Beauchemin dove into the crease, backwards to the play, and put his arms down, shoveling a puck out of harm's way. RJ Umberger was looking at a wide open side of the net had he not done this. Beauchemin commented after, "At the end, I just kind of pushed on it, hoping the guy wouldn't get a good shot. We got it done. It was one of those tough games when you come back from a road trip."
Hiller said, "It has been like that since the beginning of the year. People are working hard, even when they're not feeling their best or things are not going their way. Still, they're able to work hard. That's what everybody's doing right now. Even when we don't play our best games, we still find a way." He added that it's fine to play well as an individual, but when the team wins, that feels better.
So the Ducks won 3-2. It's not accurate to say that they "escaped" with a 3-2 win, because after going down 3-1, Columbus wasn't really in the game. In fact, they were on their heels as soon as the Ducks tied it at ones. Anaheim fans, meanwhile, did a pretty good job of encouraging the home squad. The announced attendance was 14,713. Full up is 17,117. But the place looked like it had more than it sometimes does when 14k-plus is announced. The cheap seats, those up high, were mostly full.
The team now has zero games for five days, with their next the Avs in California on the 24th. The coach talked about the layoff after the game. "They'll take a couple of days off, and I told them, it's like a whole new season. Training camp wasn't that long. There's going to be three good days, real good days of practice, because we might not get another day of practice until the end of March, in reality if you look at the schedule. So they have to be three really good hard days of practice to keep our conditioning, and just to go over everything again that we have put [in place]".
It's not a miracle that the Ducks beat Columbus. It might have been had things gone the other way. Either way, nothing of either the weak start or the late heroics will be remembered. The two points will, though.
Please follow me @growinguphockey. I'll try to keep it interesting.

A handful of CPS schools are expected to implement this new Common Core State Standards curriculum this school year, focusing on boosting student performance in core subjects such as math and reading. CPS has not yet announced which schools will participate.
Brizard said the new curriculum "will help our children get back on track toward being competitive with their peers across the country."
CPS, the nation's third-largest public school system, has chronically lagged behind other large, urban districts in the U.S. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has made turning around CPS a centerpiece of his first year in office.
Most states in the U.S. have already adopted the Common Core State Standards, a national push to improve student proficiency in literarcy and math, among other subjects.
"There is much to be done in terms of changing the culture in this city so people have higher expectations," Brizard said.

Hawthorne, Nev. • A Veterans of Foreign Wars official says an eighth Marine has died after a mortar shell explosion during mountain warfare training in Nevada's high desert.
John Stroud, national junior vice commander in chief for the VWF, began a memorial event near the site of the blast by saying "one of the critical has passed."
Mourners then laid eight floral arrangements at a park near the Hawthorne Army Depot.
Stroud says he spoke with Marine officers who gave him the news before Tuesday night's ceremony. Messages left for a Marine spokesman were not immediately returned.
The explosion occurred Monday night at the sprawling facility during an exercise involving the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force from Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Several Marines from the unit were injured in the blast.
The identities of those killed won't be released until 24 hours after their families are notified.

Pink graces the cover of the new issue of Redbook magazine, and inside, she recalls a time when she was told she'd never be on a magazine cover...because she wasn't attractive.
Pink tells Redbook that she doesn't "rest on her looks," because she's "had people tell me from day one, 'You're never going to get magazine covers because you're not pretty enough.'" Of course, by now, the Grammy-winning superstar has not only graced the cover of countless publications, but also is the latest face of CoverGirl. Still, she says being considered gorgeous and glam isn't anything she strives for on a daily basis.
"I was always considered butch," she tells Redbook . "Feeling beautiful to me is when I feel good in my leather pants and my husband grabs my [butt]. Or when I'm sitting on a mat and my daughter runs to me with complete joy."
Pink sums it up this way: "Beautiful has never been my goal. Joy is my goal -- to feel healthy and strong and powerful and useful and engaged and intelligent and in love. It's about joy. And there's such joy now."
