Heavy lifting: Milton High student climbing weightlifting ranks
When Connor Felstead leaves Milton High School for his part-time job, the senior knows he'll be lifting a lot of weight.
Felstead doesn't work at a warehouse or stock shelves.
He actually lifts weights.
Felstead is a trainer at CrossFit 608, a workout facility at 940 N. Parker Drive in Janesville. Felstead also is working toward his dream of making the U.S. Olympic team in weightlifting.
"I don't know about 2016 but in 2020," the 18-year-old said of his Olympic aspirations.
Felstead just took a few steps toward that goal when he won his weight division in the 2014 Junior National Weightlifting Championships in Aurora, Colo.
He has been invited to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the Pan American Games camp in mid-March. With a good showing, including earning a spot on the Pan-Am team, he could get invited to train full time at the Olympic Training Center while attending the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
"If I make the Pan-Am team, which right now I'm qualified for, and no one beats me out for my spot, my chances are looking pretty good," he said of getting into the Olympic training center.
If that doesn't work out, he could attend LSU-Shreveport, Eastern Tennessee or Northern Michigan and earn a weightlifting scholarship.
Reaching this point was not in the conversation six years ago.
Felstead, who was a gymnast at an early age, moved from Lansing, Mich., to Milton when he was in sixth grade after his father accepted a job at J.P. Cullen & Sons.
The move ended Connor's gymnastics aspirations because he would have had to go to a private school to continue competing.
Although he ran track and field his freshman and sophomore years at Milton, his high school athletic career basically ended when he suffered three concussions in a span of four months during football and wrestling seasons his freshman year.
Weightlifting, specifically the snatch and the clean and jerk, has taken the place of traditional high school sports offerings.
The clean and jerk is picking the weight up in one movement to the chest and then lifting it above the head and holding it there with straight arms. The snatch involves one movement of lifting the weight from the platform to locked arms overhead.
Felstead weighs between 154 and 156 pounds (70-71 kilos) and wants to get down to 152 for the upcoming Arnold (yes, as in Schwarzenegger) Classic in Columbus, Ohio.
His eating habits resemble those of a normal 18-year-old.
"I don't have the best diet, so I clean it up like two weeks before. I lift, and that helps me cut weight," Felstead said.
"I eat what I can," he added, chuckling. "I have good metabolism."
He chewed up his competition in the Junior National Weightlifting Championships in the 20-and-younger division.
Felstead lifted the most in both the snatch (110 kilograms) and clean and jerk (140 kilograms), but because he weighed a bit more than his competitors, he placed third in the snatch and second in the clean and jerk.
His overall lifted weight of 250 kilograms did earn him first place overall.
"It was awesome," Felstead said of gold.
Felstead has two coaches. Spencer Arnold, 27, resides in Dallas and corresponds with Felstead through emails.
"I send a lot of my videos to Spencer," Felstead said.
Roger Nielson of Schaumberg, Ill., a two-time Olympic coach, is his other coach, and Felstead is able to see him about twice a month.
"They did all the numbers," Felstead said. "All I had to do was lift the weight."
His personal bests are 113 kilograms (250 pounds) in the snatch and 143 kilograms (315 pounds) in the clean and jerk.
Felstead trains two to four hours a day, five days a week. He also is a certified trainer at Crossfit, a national fitness chain that utilizes weight training and exercise.
"It's not just strength and it's not just cardio," Felstead said. "You have to mesh everything together."
If Felstead meshes things together like he plans, you might be watching him tossing weights above his head in at the Summer Games in Tokyo in late July or early August six years from now.

Staying put: Hill signs extension through 2016
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- Happy to be living in Arizona and playing for the D-backs, second baseman Aaron Hill saw no reason to test the free-agent market.
The D-backs, thrilled with his production since coming over in an August 2011 trade, were eager to lock Hill up.
That led to quick negotiations on a three-year, $35 million contract extension that was announced Friday. Hill was already set to earn $5.5 million this season and will make $11 million in 2014 and $12 million in both 2015 and 2016.
Hill, who signed a two-year, $11 million deal last offseason, had a slash line of .302/.360/.522 and won a National League Silver Slugger Award in 2012.
"To be able to watch what he was able to do over a full season last year was truly remarkable," D-backs general manager Kevin Towers said. "Not only offensively, but defensively. A guy you wanted up with the game on the line and came up with big defensive plays, big hits for us and was really I think one of the premier second basemen in the game."
The 30-year-old had struggled in Toronto in 2010 and the first four-plus months of the 2011 season before Towers sent second baseman Kelly Johnson to the Blue Jays on Aug. 23 for Hill and shortstop John McDonald.
The deal seemed to rejuvenate Hill, who went on to compile an .878 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) for the D-backs as they won the National League West.
"I don't think we would have won the NL West without him," Towers said.
The D-backs were so impressed by Hill's performance they signed him to a two-year contract following the season.
After a banner 2012 season, Hill easily could have played out the final year of his deal in 2013 and then hoped for an even bigger payday as a free agent.
"Not for me," Hill said of that plan. "I know a lot of guys, obviously, that's a big part of today's game is testing the free market and it's very exciting. But for me I'm in a place that I'm in love with, my family is happy, I love the guys, so when it comes to something like that, when you're comfortable in a spot or location, I didn't think twice about it."
Hill purchased a home near the team's Spring Training facility last offseason and has formed close friendships with many of his teammates, so the idea of going somewhere else was not appealing.
Hill hit 36 homers for the Blue Jays in 2009, but saw his average drop the following year from .286 to .205. Why he's been so resurgent in Arizona is hard to say.
"I wish I had an answer for it," Hill said. "I don't know. I mean, things happen for a reason. I knew personally that there was nothing lost. I don't know. There's no answer for it. I always believed that I would pick myself back up. You hear it a lot in this game that a change of scenery can help a player, and just speaking personally that was the case in my case."
As part of his new deal, Hill is the latest D-backs player to sponsor a "Diamonds Back" Field, presented by APS.
The field, the 33rd the club has done since 2000, will be located in Parker, Ariz., and dedicated on March 25.
"I hope that when we go out there and break ground, it won't be the only time I go out there because it will be fun to go back," Hill said. "It's pretty special to have a field named after you."

How to Keep Coyotes Out of Your Yard
Coyotes don't like loud noises and bright lights, but they do like foods like fruit from trees, garbage, and pets.
Coyotes have colonized most major cities, including Chicago and New York City. While spotting wildlife can be exciting, there are compelling reasons to discourage coyotes from living on your property. Coyotes are naturally afraid of humans, but as they get used to living with humans they get less and less fearful, and can become aggressive. Pets, like dogs and cats, look like tasty treats to coyotes, as well. You will live more peacefully with coyotes if you have less contact with them, and if they remain afraid of you.
There are some benefits of having coyotes around in the suburbs and cities. As natural predators of rodents, they do a bang up job of controlling rat and mouse populations during certain times of the year. If you happen to like coyotes, another benefit is having them around as a subject for photos and observation. (That's a bit weak when it comes to defining a benefit, I know.) In general, coyotes are regarded with disdain due to the fact that they become aggressive toward humans once they've acclimatized to human-dense environments. Though they do help to control rodent populations at certain times of the year, coyotes have also reduced the populations of native species like the Red Fox. They also do considerable damage to the productivity of American goat and sheep ranches.
The first line of defense against coyotes is to avoid attracting them. Coyotes can adapt to any environment that provides food, water, shade, and space. Keeping food sources, especially garbage, scarce is your first priority. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife recommends putting garbage into garbage cans that cannot be opened by coyotes and cannot be tipped over. The Boulder County municipality recommends removing as many rodents from your yard and garden as possible, since coyotes are attracted to rodents. Animal control experts in Denver recommend picking up fruit that falls in your yard, as coyotes are also attracted to fruit as a food source (their diet is about 20% fruit). This should go without saying: Never feed coyotes, no matter how cute they look.
Pets and pet food are also attractive to coyotes. Clean up spilled pet food outdoors. Pest control experts in Denver recommend that you bring all pets inside at night, and that during the day you refrain from letting cats and dogs roam free.
If you happen to come face to face with a coyote, do your best to scare it away. Remember, if coyotes become comfortable around humans, they eventually become aggressive. The worst thing you can do if you see a coyote in your neighborhood is do nothing, or to turn your back to it. Scream, yell, wave your arms, and throw rocks toward it (animal rights people: I am not saying to hit it with rocks, I am saying throw rocks to scare it. There is a difference.)
Fencing is another way to keep coyotes off of your property, but it is not quite as effective as removing food sources. Wire mesh fencing of a height of at least five feet is the most effective fencing to protect against coyotes. Coyotes will burrow under fences, so installing a line of barbed wire helps to stop that. Installing rollers at the top of the fence will prevent the coyotes from getting the foothold necessary to clear the fence.
Lights are another way to repel coyotes. Coyotes don't like loud noises and flashing lights. Installing motion-sensor lights, or like, launching a night club, in your yard will help to discourage coyotes from prowling there. Your neighbors will prefer the motion-sensor lights to the raging bass and colored strobes. You've been warned.
With all this said, you should now understand that coyotes don't like loud noises and bright lights, but they do like foods like fruit from trees, garbage, and pets. Although they are beautiful animals, you don't want coyotes to get comfortable around humans in your area, because coyote comfort around humans = coyotes more likely to initiate contact with humans.

Bergamot Oranges – A Revelation!
A couple of Sundays ago, a fellow Formaggio Kitchen colleague introduced me to Bergamot oranges. Our produce department recently received a batch and I had never seen one before!
Bergamot gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive flavor (the essence is extracted from the skin of the orange). When I sampled one, I was given a small slice to try because it turns out they are more like lemons in terms of their sourness than they are like conventional oranges.
My first reaction upon tasting my slice was, "Boy, this tastes a lot like tea!" Immediately, I felt a little silly because, of course, it's the other way around – the tea tastes like the orange.
June Taylor's Bergamot Orange Marmalade just arrived in the shop so this introduction proved to be particularly timely – now I can say that I am familiar with the starting point for her popular preserve. I am also a big fan of sour drinks – from lemonade to the old-fashioned, traditional daiquiris (which are made simply with lime juice, a bit of light rum and a touch of sugar) and the Bergamot orange set my mind racing with all sorts of beverage possibilities! As well, the baker in me thrilled at the idea of a Bergamot orange curd… And, what about a slice in a cup of tea? It's always fun tasting something new… Invariably, it sets the imagination off in all sorts of new directions!

The Heart
Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Medicine. Anything human!
Moderator: BioTeam

1. I'm not sure contracitlity is a word, but if you expand I can try and help.
2. CO binds irreversibly to haemoglobin in red blood cells and so prevents them from carrying oxygen around the body. Not sure how F+F would affect this.
3. Is PNS peripheral nervous system here? If not you've lost me - try to expand acronyms!
4. Enervated simply means that nerves are attached, so in this case both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous fibres are linked to the sino-atrial node. The nervous system uses action potentials to pass on signals, and these pass on the signals to effectors (such as cardiac muscle) via neuromuscular junctions so any chance in the potential of the node will affect the action of the muscle.
Therefore Ach (acetylcholine) is a neurotransmitter that's inhibitory in this situation and slows down heart rate by slowing the rate of action potentials that are fired, thus slowing the overall speed of contractions. Likewise norepinephrine/noradrenaline speed up the firing of APs and so speed heart beating. The last bit's just telling you that norepinephrine can also be produced in places other than the nerve terminals in the SA node, and these will amplify the effects by binding to the post-synaptic terminal as well.
Re: The Heart
Thanks for the quick reply. ^_^
1) Contractility is defined as the ability of the muscles of the heart to contract in the presence of a stimulus. Now I'm trying to understand why that would increase or decrease SV (how much blood gets pumped out?) [/b]
2) In the book it mentions HR is affected by both. I was wondering if SV was effected by either of them.
PNS - Parasympathetic (Rest)
SNS - Sympathetic (FF)
3) http://www.cvphysiology.com/Arrhythmias/E010.htm
I found this great link that explains HR but I'm not understanding the specific sentences explaining why HR increases and why it decreases. (I know you explained it 4 but the website seems explained something called vagus tone?)
"activation of the vagus nerve innervating the SA node" and
"There is both a withdrawal of vagal tone and an activation of sympathetic nerves innervating the SA node."
4) Thanks for the great explanation. Few questions xD
- Does the SA node sends a signal to the heart to contract?
- Action potential effects muscles by sending signals so any change in AP effects muscles?
- ACH slows down actional potential, which slows down contractions, which lowers HR?
- Epinephrine increases AP signals which increase in heart rate?
Okay I'll do the 4. questions first because I'm relatively sure I can answer them correctly. The SA node sends a signal via the atrial-ventricular node (AV) down the purkinje fibres in the centre of the heart, causing it to contract from the bottom upwards (so the ventricles can empty themselves before the atria contract to fill them up again). The SA node's also known as the pacemaker since it sets the rate at which the whole system moves. (Incidentally it's one of the few parts of the nervous system that works completely independently of the brain).
I don't know how much you know about nerve signal transmission! Suffice to say if a sufficient amount of ion movement is caused by whatever stimulus it launches an action potential, and this will cause the muscle to contract. The AP is an absolute value (it's either ON or OFF) so there's no change. The muscle contracts simple if it's switched on.
ACh (small 'h' so not to get confused with adrenocorticohormone!) slows down the RATE of APs - so how many times it's switched on in a given period of time. Otherwise all correct, and just the reverse for epinephrine.
1. Stroke volume in the amount of blood pumped from a single ventricle and so is entirely dependent on the size of the ventricle and nothing else! Over time obvious a greater number of contractions would pump more, but this would be cardiac output rather than SV.
2. See above
3. Okay well the heartbeat is regulated by both PNS and the SNS. The PNS is associated with autonomic functions (so ones we don't think about like breathing in and out) and via the vagus nerve controls the baseline heartrate of about 60-80. However during exercise etc. this needs to speed up to supply more oxygen and at this point a sympathetic function takes over and allows the HR to rise.
So the conclusions I came up from #4 are right? xD Yay
I can't tell from number 2 answer from above. I get SV is depend on the size, so a larger size would mean higher SV. But is SV effected by PNS or SNS? (So many abbreviations!)
Does vagus nerve only effect autonomic functions? Or does it effect both PNS and SNS?
And how does it effect it? Does it send a signal?
My book says increased temperature increases heart rate.
Wouldn't hypothermia (low temperature) increase your HR because your heart would be pumping more blood to warm itself up?
Yes congratulations on 4!
I'm afraid I don't really know for 2. Contractions in the atria at a basal level are caused by the SA node (which is part of neither system), but it is affected by parasympathetic from the vagus to slow it down, and sympathetic to speed it up. To the best of my knowledge the vagus nerve is only involved in autonomic functions. Sorry I can't be more help here :s
Heart rate increases when the body's trying to combat change. So you're quite correct in thinking that heart rate will increase in the cold as the body tries to warm itself (especially when shivering) but it's also worth noting that it also withdraws blood supply from extremities to conserve heat.
There are two ways to look at cold: firstly the heart rate should slow along with all metabolic processes since it's these that generate the majority of our heat. However the peripheral blood vessels all dilate to let blood closer to the surface to cool us off (hence we go red in the face when we're overheating). This lowers blood pressure and means the heart has to take up the slack by pumping more. I think you're going to have to use judgement here because it's going to depend on the severity of the cold!
Re: The Heart
Except for decreasing the heart rate and the force of contraction, PNS also reduces the conduction velocity of cardiac muscle fibers. Parasympathetic stimulation can also result in increased activity by glands that control bronchial secretions.

2014 Walworth County budget comes in lower than 2013
ELKHORN—The Walworth County Board is proposing a 2014 budget with a tax levy that is $80,000 less than in 2013.
At a county board public hearing Tuesday night, the board presented a preliminary budget of nearly $138 million.
If the budget is passed at the Nov. 12 meeting it will be the second time the levy has not exceeded the amount allocated the previous year.
Nicki Andersen, deputy county administrator, said years of planning, consolidating staff and departments, and monitoring the rate the county pays back debt has allowed for a smaller budget.�
"When we made some of those cuts earlier we didn't pick a truck or car that temporarily lowered the levy," Andersen said. "We tried to reduce things that we could sustain."
Other contributing factors include the county's plan to not borrow money in 2014 and the status of the Other Post Employment Benefits Fund.
The fund, established in 2005 to assist in funding retirement, has reached $20 million and the board believes it is stable enough to last without 2014 contributions, said David Bretl, county administrator.
While the projected tax levy is .13 percent lower than in 2013, the tax rate would increase 3.29 percent from $4.56 per $1,000 to an average of $4.71 per $1,000.
The increase is due to a decrease in the county's property value by nearly half a million dollars, Bretl said.
The budget would also allow the county to hire five full-time employees for various county departments.
"There has been a lot of demand over the years to cut," Bretl said. "This is the first budget I've done in 13 years that we're adding staff."
Like past years, the majority of the county's expenditures, a little over 40 percent, and the majority of the tax levy allocations, a little over 50 percent, would go toward the sheriff's office and Health and Human Services.�

UW-Rock County student survives brain tumor on way to earning degree
JANESVILLE—Lexie Seaver deserves to be super proud when she walks across the stage at UW-Rock County.
The 29-year-old will be among 162 graduates honored Wednesday during a special ceremony.
Along with an associate degree, Lexie is worthy of another certificate. One that proclaims in bold letters: SURVIVOR.
On the way to earning her degree, she weathered a deadly brain tumor the size of a grapefruit.
Many in her situation might have been sidetracked. But facing mortality made Lexie more motivated than ever to get an education.
"I knew I had to go back to school," she explained.
Lexie enrolled at UW-Rock for the first time in fall 2007. Later, she shattered her elbow and had two surgeries. She also experienced the deaths of her grandparents and a close friend.
"I decided to take some time off because of the emotional toll," she said.
She re-enrolled eventually, but she began having headaches and extreme fatigue. She also became super depressed. When her grades began to slip, Lexie quit school in the fall of 2010.
"It was just too much," Lexie recalls. "I was tired all the time. I couldn't get out of bed."
A doctor diagnosed her with vertigo after she began losing her balance. Eventually, physicians discovered the brain tumor and sent Lexie to University Hospital, Madison. When she met with her surgeon, he told her: "I don't know how you are alive."
He set surgery a week later.
"The doctor could tell I was freaked out," Lexie recalls. "Then, he said we need to trust one another. Ultimately, the surgeon said it was up to God. He told me to go home and live like it was the last week of my life."
Lexie's first surgery was in July 2011, but the surgeon could not take out the tumor. Her brain was too swollen. For nine days, Lexie's medical team worked to reduce the swelling.
Then, she went back to surgery. Her doctor warned that she could be blind, deaf or paralyzed, but none of those things happened.
"My doctor said I defied all the odds," Lexie said. "He said it is a miracle how I am doing."
She said the emotional burden is tough.
"I never thought I would be diagnosed with stage-four brain cancer at age 26," Lexie said. "They gave me five to six months to live without any treatment. Everything I read about the tumor said I would be dead in a year."
Lexie went through six weeks of radiation therapy. She also changed her diet and began exercising.
"I did well because of God," Lexie said. "Also because of support from friends, family and people I don't even know. I was positive. I didn't sit around waiting to die."
Lexie finished her last radiation treatment in December 2011. The following month, she enrolled at UW-Rock to complete what she had started a few years earlier.
"I didn't have to go back to school," Lexie said. "But I'm proud that I am resilient enough to keep going. I want to do something positive with my life."
Marylee Kishel, coordinator of adult student services at UW-Rock, calls Lexie one of her favorite students.
"I think so highly of her determination," Kishel said. "She was positive in the face of terrible adversity."
Lexie works as a part-time bartender and wants to finish a bachelor's degree in social work at UW-Whitewater.
But the driven student faces more challenges. Her doctor suggested there might be another tumor deep in her brain.
"They can't say for sure what it is," Lexie said. "I have to stay positive and believe God will take care of me. Otherwise, all I would do is cry and be depressed."
She describes her journey as difficult but amazing.
"The outpouring of love and support from people has restored my faith in humanity," Lexie said. "All of this has changed my life for the better."

Milwaukee Brewers avoid sweep against Cardinals
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
MILWAUKEE--Considering the baseball season is a marathon of 162 games, it's difficult to call a game in mid-April an important one.
But this was an important one for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Avoiding a sweep that would have taken the steam out of their nine-game winning streak, not to mention furthering the notion that they can't beat St. Louis, the Brewers used strong pitching and a few clutch hits to topple the Cardinals, 5-1, Wednesday afternoon at Miller Park.
"It felt pretty good," said catcher Jonathan Lucroy, whose two-run single sparked a three-run rally in the fifth inning. "That's a pretty good team over there. They've had some momentum against us the past few years. It was nice to get a win.
"To come off a 4-2 homestand, that's pretty good. We do that the rest of the year, we're going to be there at the end. We're glad to pull one out against them on the last day."
To beat the Cardinals for only the sixth time in the last 22 meetings, the Brewers turned the tables on them. Shut down by St. Louis' starting pitchers in the first two games, the Brewers turned to big right-hander Wily Peralta to give the Cards some of their own medicine.
Peralta (2-0, 1.96 earned-run average) was up to the challenge, limiting the defending National League champs to six hits and one run in 61/3 innings. He also had six assists and one putout, taking shots off both the back and foot in the process, and started the two-out rally in the fifth with a wicked line-drive single off the glove of shortstop Jhonny Peralta.
"It was really important after losing those two games to win this one," said the Brewers' starter. "I'm glad I was able to make good pitches and have a good ball game.
"They hit a lot of ground balls to me. I had a lot of work today. I'm glad that I got the outs on both (balls) that hit me."
Of Peralta's performance, Lucroy said, "He was a show-stopper today. He stopped their momentum and shut them down. He was a lot of fun to catch."
The Brewers took advantage of some breaks to finally put runs on the board after being held to a total of six hits and one run in the first two games. An error by first baseman Matt Adams led to an RBI double by Carlos Gomez in the third.
Things turned against the Cardinals after starting pitcher Joe Kelly had to leave with left hamstring tightness, the result of trying to leg out a bunt hit in the top of the fifth. Sean Maness took over for Kelly and retired the first two hitters in the bottom of the inning before Wily Peralta ripped his knuckling liner off the glove of Jhonny Peralta.
After a walk to Gomez and Jean Segura's infield hit loaded the bases, Lucroy quickly fell behind in the count, 0-2. After fouling off a pitch, he smacked a fastball from Maness through the right side of the infield for his two-run hit.
"It's just about putting the ball in play hard somewhere," said Lucroy. "I happened to hit it in the right spot and it worked out for us."
After Peralta departed, the Brewers' excellent bullpen (1.33 ERA) went to work. Will Smith pitched out of a first-and-third, one-out jam in the seventh by getting pinch hitter Shane Robinson to ground into a double play; Tyler Thornburg pitched another perfect inning (he has retired 20 hitters in a row); and Francisco Rodriguez stranded a pair of runners in the ninth.
The Cardinals' formula for success has been to get to a lock-down bullpen with leads behind strong starting pitching and clutch hitting. The Brewers have used that blueprint as well this season and did so to salvage the series finale.
"We still believe that we're a good team even though we didn't win this series," said Smith, who has yet to allow a run in eight outings. "We'll just go back out and try to win another one in Pittsburgh."
Manager Ron Roenicke tried to downplay the importance of ending the Cardinals' recent dominance of his club but didn't deny it was a big game to win at this early stage of the season.
"Obviously, I like beating everybody," said Roenicke. "What's really important, the most important thing, is we lost two games to begin the series and we got that game back. It's an important swing.
"It's more important against our division just because we don't want guys to take off. We have to win more games than they do. It's not head to head. We have to win more games this season than they do. That's what we're playing for."

Greg Peck: Are Oscars still relevant?
Maybe Ellen DeGeneres did a good and entertaining job of hosting the Academy Awards show last night, but if she would have spent less time organizing that "selfie" with celebrities and passing out carryout pizza, she might have kept the event on schedule and allowed more viewers to stay tuned to the end.
The TV schedule suggested the event was supposed to wrap up by 10:30. I wanted to see the big awards handed out, but even 10:30 is a stretch for a guy whose workday alarm clock rings at 5 a.m. When the event dragged on past that time, I pulled the covers over my head and fell asleep while my wife, Cheryl, finished watching it.
Cheryl and I were hoping that "12 Years a Slave" would win for Best Picture, and it did. We managed to see four of the nine Best Picture nominees in theaters, including the other two leading candidates, "Gravity" and "American Hustle." I liked both of those films, but when "Gravity" kept pulling in awards early in the show, I was afraid it might trump our favorite. It's not that "12 Years a Slave" is an enjoyable film to watch; far from it. But it is, I believe, a brutally realistic portrayal of a terrible chapter in our nation's history. It's a far more significant film and will stand the test of time far better than the other nominees.
I was surprised to see the headline "Do the Oscars still matter?" atop Kevin McDonough's TV column in Saturday's Gazette. He suggested the film industry has lost confidence, direction and identity.
"Let's face it, the movies still may be the place to go see superhero movies, talking toys or blockbuster sequels, but television has long since eclipsed film as the place where thinking viewers get their entertainment," McDonough wrote.
McDonough reasons that TV viewers are more passionate about TV series such as "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead" than they are about this year's Oscar-nominated films. He argues that an Oscar nomination means little more to most of us than a reminder to put that film in our Netflix queues so we can later watch it at home—on TV.
OK, but if TV is for "thinking viewers," I give you "Honey Boo Boo," other "reality" TV shows and other inane series. They didn't dub it the "boob tube" for nothing.
No, we might not want to pay big dollars for tickets and concessions to sit in a theater while some nitwit next to us fiddles with a distracting iPhone or a bunch of kids can't behave. But I don't see any superheroes, talking toys or sequels among the nine films nominated for Best Picture. And if the Oscar doesn't matter, how did "Argo," last year's Best Picture, parlay $110 million in gross domestic revenues before the nomination into $136 million—a 23 percent increase?
And don't think any of those actors and actresses who won individual awards last night will be short of future work invitations.
I think the Oscar still does matter, and I'm really glad to see "12 Years a Slave" win the evening's biggest honor. Hats off to all involved.

Tamzin: I wanted to save marriage
Tamzin Outhwaite has said she would have done "anything" to save her marriage to Tom Ellis.
The New Tricks actress and the Miranda actor - who have two daughters, Florence, six, and two-year-old Marnie - separated in August last year after seven years of marriage.
Tamzin, 43, told the Daily Telegraph: "I'm the sort of person who makes the best of things. I will always find a way to make things work, if I can. All I can say is that I believe I would have done anything to keep us together as a family but that wasn't what happened."
The actress has never spoken about the details of the split.
She said: "I can't talk about it. Of course, there's a part of me that wants to set the record straight, but I don't want to put any more stuff out there onto the internet for my children to end up reading. If the price for that is being seen in an unflattering light now, then it's one I'm prepared to pay."
The former EastEnders star - who is set to appear in West End show Breeders with former Corrie actress Angela Griffin - admitted being a single working mum was not easy.
She said: "It's tough working as a single parent, but I'm lucky enough to have chunks of time when I'm at home and a huge circle of friends and family, although my biggest extravagance is child care.
"It's not as if I'm struggling financially... my hat goes off to those who have that burden of worry as well."

Birth of a baby!
Approaching Christmas Eve many of us are thinking about the BIRTH OF A BABY because that is the focus/gist of Christian Christmas.� Have YOU thought about MARY's PREGNANCY for the birth of a baby?� My own experience in Christian churches is that seldom is there attention given to the FACT that MARY was PREGNANT!� PREGNANT through 9 months with a natural birth as for the vast majority of mothers giving birth.
I was AWAKENED when my wife, Marilyn and I went to NORWAY for Advent – Christmas 2002 and New Year's – Epiphany 2003.� We were in NORWAY on time to celebrate Marilyn's birthday on the traditional Scandinavian observance of Luciadag (12/13).� We love NORWAY in WINTER!� If you want to healthy vision of NORWAY in WINTER, I urge you to see Disney's �FROZEN.�� A Norwegian reviewer gave his review an enthusiastic title, �Beautiful Disney version of Norwegian winter�!� I agree!� Enjoy �FROZEN�!
Visiting a long time friend whom we met in her local Lutheran (State) Church, Marilyn and I were STARTLED to see the Advent scene.� See the photo which Marilyn took.� What do YOU think STARTLED Marilyn and me?� I honestly had never seen that kind of Advent scene anywhere.� Have YOU?
That experience has enriched my own ADVENT each year since 2002.� It inspired a message which I used in the Gudstjeneste (Service of Worship) at the Juletrefest (Christmas Tree Festival) which was held for several years at Lutherdale, Elkhorn, WI.� Truth be told, I have used that message different times through the years.� I was Guest Pastor at Luther Valley Lutheran Church, Beloit, on the First Sunday of Advent this year and I used the message with updates.
The gist of the message is that the Scriptures make a major emphasis on the fact that Mary was PREGNANT!� Review the reports in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.� Some older translations describe Mary as �heavy� or �great� with child when she traveled with Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem for the required Roman census.� WHY did they go to Bethlehem?� Because JOSEPH was of the �house and lineage of David�.
Luke tells us that while they were in Bethlehem Mary gave birth to a baby.� Faithful to God's instructions to them, they named him:� Jesus.
The birth of this baby as a real baby whose mother was pregnant is requisite for Christians as a foundation for the doctrine of INCARNATION.� That is, Jesus was God in human flesh.� The Gospel of John says it in a different way, �The Word became a human being and lived here with us.�� Christian scripture also asserts that Jesus was fully human in every way experiencing hunger, thirst, tiredness, discomfort, sexual arousal.� This is crucial for INCARNATION to have REAL MEANING for us – humankind.� There is also the crucial assertion, Jesus did not sin.� He did experience all kinds of temptation.� He did NOT sin.�
Reflecting on PREGNANCY, I ask YOU to think about the fact that MARY traveled with JOSEPH on the approximate 90 mile trip from Nazareth all the way to Bethlehem.� The trip took about 7 days – a full week – on a donkey with rough roads and rough inns.� Most travelers were men.
If you want to read more about Jesus' birth, I recommend Jim Bishop's THE DAY JESUS WAS BORN. Unfortunately this little gem is now out-of-print, but you can probably get it from a local library.� It is a VERY interesting little book.� It is "little"/short because we know almost NOTHING about the birth of Jesus.� Bishop develops a GOOD book using historical and anthropological evidence from the time of Jesus' birth in terms of Jewish and Roman culture.� The book is, however, essentially a work of FICTION.
My summary of Bishop's The Day Christ Was Born is:� solid cultural background – Joseph most likely 19 and Mary most likely 15; "betrothed" = "commitment of marriage" – "widow" if Joseph died before wedding ceremony; "divorce" if did NOT follow through on wedding ceremony;�
ARRIVAL in Bethlehem – Mary knew "her time had come" and uged Joseph to make arrangements for a room.� Census time with town full of travelers… NO ROOM IN THE INN was NOT meanness by the Innkeeper, but just plain "NO VACANCY"!� Stable/cave, perhaps, as Bishop writes, under the Inn provided by the thoughtful concern of the Innkeeper and his wife.
BIRTH of Jesus - JOSEPH with MIDWIFE for Mary.� Jewish culture:� Jewish world women ALWAYS took care of women!!!� Like in the developing world today and among indigenous peoples.
JESUS was born of woman – Remember Galatians 4:4 – "4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,…"� JESUS born as every baby in the human experience!
I believe that humankind rejoices when a baby is born regardless of religion.� For Christians, the birth of this baby to MARY and JOSEPH in Bethlehem whom they named, JESUS is very meaningful and hopeful.� Christians believe that God so loved the world that he gave his only son, JESUS…. Read John 3:16-17.
I PRAY for you all – each and every one – a meaningful and blessed holiday time this CHRISTMAS!

Milton police investigating rash of indecent exposures
MILTON—Milton police are investigating a rash of reports of flashers exposing themselves at local businesses and in residential areas in recent weeks.
Police Chief Dan Layber said police are investigating a pair of incidents reported Monday of males exposing themselves. He said one happened at 4:09 a.m. at Casey's General Store, a 24-hour convenience gas station at 464 S. John Paul Road.
Layber said a white man 40 to 50 years old exposed himself in front of a female worker at Casey's and touched himself, according to the employee. The man then left, but the woman did not see whether he got in a vehicle, Layber said.�
He is described as average height and build and balding. At the time, the man was wearing a dark blue shirt and khaki pants.
Later on Monday, at about 11:15 a.m., a woman in a residential area on Second Street just north of Vernal Avenue witnessed a male age 13 to 18 standing on a sidewalk and exposing himself, Layber said.
The woman was at her car when she heard the male rustling leaves to try to get her attention. The male then left, and the woman did not report the incident to police for about a half hour, Layber said.
Police were unable to locate the male, who was described as clean shaven and wearing dark pants and a coat. It's not clear if the male left on foot or in a vehicle, Layber said.
The flashings Monday were the third and fourth indecent exposures reported in Milton since Sept. 20. On that day, a man in his early 20s was witnessed exposing himself in front of a woman at the 400 block of Columbus Street, according to reports.
Fifteen minutes later, witnesses spotted a man exposing himself in front of a business at the 100 block of Front Street, about 1� miles from the first incident.
Police have no suspects in the incidents and have made no arrests.
Based on witness descriptions, Layber said, police believe it's likely the incidents Monday and Sept. 20 involved different perpetrators. He said it's odd to have had such a rash of indecent exposures in a small town.
"It's very weird. It's very unusual for us to have these types of incidents and to have them happen in a relatively short time period," Layber said. "We're concerned. You never know what these things will lead to. Right now, it's just an exposure. But you never know what it could lead to."
If police catch the flashers, they could face misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure or lewd and lascivious behavior. Those are offenses that could lead to jail time of up to one year, according to state statutes.
Layber said it's troubling to have no real leads. The people that witness indecent exposure often are so startled they have trouble giving a good description of a person or vehicle.
"If you're a gas station attendant, it's four o'clock in the morning, it's a pretty traumatic event," Layber said.

Local Views: Sensible budget deal asks small sacrifice of military retirees
"It's a step in the right direction." You've heard Congressman Paul Ryan of Janesville repeat this statement over and over again these past weeks. "It's not as far as I want to go, but it's a step in the right direction," he continues to say.
Nonsupporters of the Bipartisan Budget Act say the bill does not go far enough in spending cuts and that borrowing will continue to rise. The Bipartisan Budget Act does not solve all the problems, but it prevents another government shutdown for two years and does not increase taxes. In response to his critics, Ryan said in an interview with Chris Wallace on Dec. 15, "We are making permanent law changes and permanent spending cuts, and those savings accrue and accumulate and compound over time."
Congressman Ryan and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., knew going into their negotiations that they would not be able to agree on everything, nor would they be able to solve all the problems. Remarkably in the short timeframe available to them, they were able to draft a bill that overwhelmingly passed the House and Senate with bipartisan support. Finally we are seeing negotiations between the two parties resulting in a positive direction.
Considerable attention has been given to a portion of this bill—the reduction of COLAs (cost-of-living adjustment) for working-age military retirees. Unfortunately the attention and media reports coming out on the reduction to COLAs has been filled with incomplete and misinformation that distorts the truth.
The Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission was established by Congress in 2012 with the task of examining the entire military compensation system. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has also stated that military compensation reform can no longer be put off. Without reform, troop modernization and readiness could be put at risk.
The Bipartisan Budget Act makes a small adjustment to younger retirees. Their annual increase will be 1 percent less than the inflation rate. These are individuals who are probably retiring from the military in their late 30s or early 40s and seeking other employment opportunities. Upon reaching age 62, their COLAs are readjusted to where they would have been if they had received the full inflation adjustment every year since their retirement. Those retirees already age 62 or older will see no changes to their benefits. The medically retired and those on survivor benefits are also excluded from any adjustments. The savings from these adjustments would go right back to the military.
Something must be done, and this is a very modest proposal compared to those who want to eliminate the adjustment for inflation for working-age retirees.
The reforms on COLAs in the Bipartisan Budget Act are not effective until 2015, which gives time for the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission to give its recommendations this May and for any other alternatives to be introduced before then.
The Bipartisan Budget Act is a huge step in bipartisan negotiating and agreements. Thank you, Congressman Paul Ryan, for once again demonstrating your leadership.
Jan Deters of Janesville is first vice chairwoman of the 1st Congressional District Republican Party. Readers can contact her by email at email@example.com.

Acute sinusitis is a common illness that results from an infection in the sinuses which are hollow spaces in the facial bones. The infection may be caused by bacteria or a virus. Symptoms include nasal congestion, fever, and often pain. Most acute sinus infections resolve on their own. However, uncomfortable patients go to their primary care doctors hoping for quick relief from antibiotics or a steroid nasal spray. Using antibiotics when not necessary has led to increasing rates of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. The resistance make antibiotics less effective and bacteria more dangerous for everyone. For this reason, researchers set out to discover if antibiotics are necessary for treatment in acute maxillary sinusitis.
Many studies have already found no benefit from antibiotics for acute sinusitis. A recent study published in JAMA supports the findings in a randomized control study of amoxicillin and budesonide nasal spray. There was no improvement in symptoms in patients who took the antibiotic medications compared to placebo (fake pill).
About the Study
The researchers enrolled 240 adults over the age of 16 years acute sinusitis. Amoxicillin was prescribed as 500 mg 3 times daily for seven days and budesonide (Rhinocort Aqua) prescribed as 200 µg in each nostril once daily for 10 days. Patients were randomly divided into four groups:
- Group A received amoxicillin and budesonide
- Group B received placebo and budesonide
- Group C received amoxicillin and placebo nasal spray
- Group D received placebo and placebo nasal spray.
Patients had reported 2 or more of the following symptoms: purulent rhinorrhea (runny nose) with one nostril worse than the other, local pain with one side worse than the other, runny nose on both sides, or pus in the nose cavity.
There were no major differences in the rate of improvement for patients. About 30% of patients in all four groups had symptoms for 10 days or longer. Even the use of both antibiotics did not make a noticeable change.
There was no difference between groups in the amount of time it took for the symptoms to go away completely. About 40% of participants in all groups were cured within one week. Pain had resolved within the first 7 days for most patients in the study. After analyzing special groups of patients in the study with similar symptoms, it seems that budesonide (nasal spray) helped patients with very mild symptoms but worsened the illness for those with severe symptoms.
How Does This Affect You?
This study reminds us that antibiotics are not always the answer. Most sinus infections are caused by viruses and improve on their own in 1-2 weeks. There are many treatments that can help treat symptoms and decrease your discomfort like nasal decongestants, pain relievers, humidifiers, and saline nasal sprays. Next time you have a sinus infection, you may want to wait a few days before going to your doctor for a prescription. A more conservative approach to caring for your next sinus infection may be just what the doctor ordered.
