15 years after federal government's target date to solve problem, situation...
LAST WEEK: Sunday: Kingston Voyageurs 5 vs. Stouffville Spirit 0. Spirit record: 11 wins, two overtime wins, five shootout wins, one shootout loss, five overtime losses, 30 losses, 42 points. Fourth place in North Division, Ontario Junior Hockey League.
COMING UP: Today: vs. Aurora Tigers at Stouffville Arena, 7:30 p.m. (final regular season game).
GAME NOTES: The Stouffville Spirit got a look in the rear-view mirror Sunday. In the Kingston Voyageurs, the Spirit saw the smooth-skating, poised, veteran team they were when they won its first OJHL championship last year. The younger, rebuilding Spirit, which was eliminated from playoff contention last week, lost 5-0 to the Voyageurs at the Stouffville Arena. Currently riding a nine-game winning streak, the Voyageurs (33-20) will finish second in the North-East Conference behind the Trenton Golden Hawks. The 18-36 Spirit outshot the Voyageurs 44-29, but Kingston goalie Colin Dzijacky was solid throughout and spectacular early in the game. Richmond Hill product Ludlow Harris had an empty-net goal and an assist for the Voyageurs, who were up 1-0 after one period and 3-0 through two. Both teams were without their head coaches, Kingston's Colin Birkas and Stouffville's Jeff Perrin, who were serving suspensions. Perrin was thrown out of the Spirit's shootout win in Newmarket last Thursday for arguing with an official.
INSIDER: Former Spirit captain Matt Neal had one goal and one assist in helping the Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute Enginners defeat 10th-ranked Yale University 4-1 in Troy, N.Y. Saturday. Neal also had one helper in RPI's 5-1 win over Brown University Friday. The sophomore is tied with Jason Laliberte as the school's leading scorer with 25 points (seven goals and 18 assists). RPI's record is 14-11-5. Former Spirit teammate Chris Porter had two assists in helping American International College defeat Sacred Heart 9-1 in Milford, Ct. Saturday. The freshman has five goals and nine assists through 27 games.
Spirit forward Marc Stevens, 16, suited up in his third game with the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League, a 5-3 win over the Kitchener Rangers Monday. Stevens has one assist for the Storm, which was recorded in his debut against the Barrie Colts Jan. 11. Stevens was a fifth-round pick of the Storm (102nd overall) in the 2012 OHL draft. Once the Spirit conclude its regular season tonight, he will join the Storm for the remainder of its campaign and next year. He plays on a line in Stouffville with a brother, Michael. Their older brother, Justin, is a freshman at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Penn., the alma mater of former Spirit coach Dan Larmer. Their dad, Larry, played for Sudbury and Belleville in the OHL. Their uncle, John Stevens, is an assistant coach with the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings. He was head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers from 2006-09.
Dakota Redshaw, Chad Burrows and Daniel Mannella have the flu. They'll be game-time decisions tonight.
GENERALLY SPEAKING: "Kingston is a good team, they outplayed us and deserved to win. I think they have a good chance to win in the playoffs," Perrin said.
"The good thing is the guys did not quit. But what hurts this team is they lose the battles and take lazy penalties. Hopefully, that will stop next year as they gain some experience and maturity."
On tonight's game against the North Division-leading Aurora Tigers?
"We're going to play this game like every other game, to compete and try to win. Nothing changes," Perrin said. "We're playing for pride and some of the players will be playing for spots on the team next year."
Commenting on Stevens' decision to go the OHL route, Perrin said he deserves an opportunity to play at the next level.
"It's good for him, he's played well for us this year," he said.

How To Draw: Tips & Pointers for the Beginning Artist
After being asked countless amounts of questions for a good portion of this year I've decided it would be nice to put together somewhat of a 'tutorial' on drawing, or at least on how to get started for those beginners out there that find themselves staring at their hands thinking 'wtf do I do now?' This will come in parts in journal form first, and afterward I might compile them all and actually submit it as a tutorial deviation with photos and such. For now, just journal writing, though.
The below information will be most useful to those looking to get into more realistic ventures rather than animated ones, because that's what I do... and that's what I know. If you're looking for help with anime and such this might not be all that useful to you.
Okay. Here we go.
I want to draw but I have no idea where to start:
Start from two very important points. 1. What you love and find intriguing. 2. What you know. You may be thinking 'okay, point one is cool but why should I draw what I know? I want to draw crazy sea monsters that eat peoples heads for breakfast. That's what I find intriguing!' That's all fine and good, but unless you've met a head-eating sea monster and unless you're a very seasoned and practiced artist, your head-eating sea monster will look quite ridiculous and be smirked at rather than adored by millions. Something that is really bothersome to me is the type of artist who really doesn't know what they're doing yet setting out to tackle something that only Marvel Comics could pull off and pull off well. If you want to be a comic artist, that's wonderful, but if you haven't ever drawn a person before, what makes you think you can draw a convincing monster? (Do you see my point here, or am I just rambling?)
With that out of the way, we move on.
Pick a subject. What influences you and makes you who you are?
For me, the most intriguing things are 1. people and the human expression 2. emotion 3. darkness/moodiness/gothic subculture 4. fashion 5. music. Can you see those things reflected in my work? I'd certainly hope so. Therefore, your job is to sit down and have a long talk with yourself. Figure out what it is that makes you 'tick' and drives your passion. A good starting point is your favorite song or your favorite musician. Typically, it's a favorite because it makes you think of particular things that mean a great deal to you. So listen to the music that makes you feel a certain way and write down the images that come to mind. Compile a list.
Why is this important? Well, to some it might not be important at all. But if you want to be the type of artist where someone looks at your work and says 'wow, that's really moving', you better know what's moving to you as an artist first. Every piece you produce should be highly personal. It should have a backstory to it to keep it from being 'just another drawing' in a collection of millions. You need to know how to make it stand out, and the first thing you should concentrate on is that underlying importance to you. If you create something that means something to you there's a good chance that it'll mean something to someone else as well. We're all human, and no matter how different we share the same experiences. The idea isn't to cater to your audience as much as it is to cater to your own heartstrings. If you learn how to do that you'll create artwork for yourself that others fall in love with as well.
Okay, pick your passion and pick your subject. I highly suggest you choose something that you can physically look at rather than pull from memory. Have you ever run into the problem where you sit down, draw from memory thinking you remember what you're drawing perfectly, and then you look back at the picture and it looks nothing like what you wanted? Yes, that's what we call the inaccuracy of memory. Your memory, no matter what you say or think of it, is not photographic. It's a proven psychological fact that as we move through life our memories become skewed by life experiences. That sweet and wonderful memory of your first boyfriend may have been enchanting when you were seventeen, but now it may be revolting due to past circumstances. Got me? So do yourself a favor:
Rule #1: Do not draw from memory (yet).
So, Cinquain, are you saying that we should use a reference?
So, Cinquain, isn't that cheating?
Do you consider the Mona Lisa cheating? I don't think so.
This raises a huge issue that I've seen argued left and right on DeviantArt: is it okay to use references in traditional artwork? For gods sake, yes, it's fine. How do you think the statue of David came about? Memory? Don't be ridiculous. Be aware that there are different types of artists--as many types as there are people on the planet. Some artists don't use reference due to personal preference, and those artists usually fall into the category of more animated, comic-style, manga, or anime type work. There's absolutely nothing wrong with those styles, and if that's your style you may be far more turned off from using references than an artist striving for realism in their work. If that's the case, if it bothers you to the point of craziness, don't do it. But I guarantee you that starting from that point will help you rather than hinder you. No artist or musician has ever been born with a 'unique style'. It's developed. And you can bet your bottom dollar that before they became known for what they do and did they were plucking chords of their favorite artists (mimicry) and drawing the pictures of people and things they admired (what they knew and what intrigued them).
A note about references:
While a reference can be anything from a photo to just looking at an actual coffee cup sitting on your desk, I highly suggest that you always have a 2d starting point of a 3d source. What that means is that while I don't doubt you can draw that coffee cup just from looking at it, it will be far easier for you to take a photo of that coffee cup and use the photo rather than looking at that cup itself. Why? Many reasons. Changes in lighting. Accidental movement. Consistency. Represented reflections. We can get very technical here but I'll spare you. The short end of it is this: though I'm sure you can draw a still life of a bowl of fruit, take a photograph of it and eat the fruit. When we take a photo of something we're putting 3d onto paper. It still appears 3d, yes, but in actuallity it's 2d... and that's what drawing is. We're dealing with a flat sheet of paper, just like the flat surface of a photograph. (Just trust me on this one.)
I have my reference! Im ready to draw!
Not quite, young grasshopper. Sure, you can get to scribbling right away, but that is going to get you to nowhereville in a hurry.
What? You mean theres more to using a reference image than just picking a pretty picture?
yeeeah? See, this is what gets me about people who bitch and moan about people using references and not having any talent because they do so. They assume that you tear a picture out of a magazine and viola! Sure, lots of people do it, but dont be that person, Jack. Youll just blend in and be like everyone else. And you dont want to be like everyone else. Oh, no sir, not you.
Before we move on with the actual drawing process theres a little thing called composition.
Rule #2: Never assume your reference image is a work of art waiting to be put to paper.
A reference image is just that, a reference image, and for the most part its probably crap when it comes to turning it into something you can legitimately call artwork. Now, Im not going to give you a lesson on composition. That would take far too long and Im not a university professor about to lecture on art history and techniques that I myself dont clearly understand. But even if you havent studied a word in regard to artistic composition you already have the basics to make the right decisions as far as your own work is concerned.
There are a few very important things to remember when youre at the point of composition.
1. You know what youre doing, even though you may think you dont.
2. You know whats eye catching to you, so use that knowledge to your advantage.
3. Be a visionary. See your artwork before it exists.
A bit of elaboration on the third point.
When I sit down to draw something I take a minute or two to simply stare at the blank sheet of paper in front of me. And though it may sound a bit strange, after a good few seconds of letting my eyes wander that page I can actually see the picture Im about to draw before its ever there. Now, honestly, I cant tell you if Ive always had this weird ability or whether Ive trained myself to perform such spooky artistic witchcraft. The point is
I can do it, and Im no different than you are. If I can do it, you can do it. Right? Right.
Composition can be done in many different ways, and has to be done in many different ways and with many different approaches depending on the circumstances. You cant compose an image on the computer in preparation for drawing the same way you can prepare an image you tear out of a magazine. If your image is on the computer you can use photoshop to crop the image in different interesting ways and see what it might look like as a finished product. With an image physically in your hand you cant do that without ruining the image and leaving yourself without a reference at all.
So how do you compose on an actual image rather than a digital one? Grab four pieces of blank paper and crop it that way. Once you decide what youd like to work with tape it off with either drafting tape or blue painters tape so you have very deliberate lines to follow with your eyes as you work.
P.S. A secret you should know: grayscale your image. If youre working out of a magazine, Id suggest picking a black and white image. If youre madly in love with a color photo, scan it and grayscale it. Logically, its far easier to work off of a black and white image if all youre working with is black graphite or charcoal.
Okay, now that you have your brilliant composition down youre ready to go, right? (The answer is no. You should know this by now.)
Some common misconceptions in regards to art materials:
1. If youre a good artist it doesnt matter what type of materials you use. Your work will be brilliant.
- Eh, yes and no. Sure, Picasso could have very likely pumped out beautiful work with a bit of mud, some scraps of paper, and a piece of string, but would it have ever gotten noticed? The easiest way to think of it is from a photomanipulators standpoint. You could be the best in your field, but if youre stuck with a tiny grainy image, how can you be expected to create something magnificent? Art isnt a miracle. You have to start from a decent point to get something worth while. The same goes for materials. The better and appropriate the materials for your craft and particular project, the better off you are.
2. Paper is paper. It doesnt matter what type you use. Its all the same.
- Wooooah. BIG mistake. First off, do me a favor
actually, do everyone a favor
if you produce some kind of brilliance on lined paper, submit it to your scraps, not your gallery. If youre serious about your work, prove it. Dont let your best picture ever end up in the margins of your fourth period essay on quantum physics. If you treat your craft with respect itll treat you well in return. Well get back to the paper issue in a minute because theres lots to tell. (Yes, there is.)
3. Charcoal doesnt get old. Its charcoal.
- Silly rabbit. Dont you know anything? (End comment.)
A quick lesson about paper. Yes, paper.
You may have caught yourself walking through an art shop looking at different drawing pads wondering what the hell is the deal with paper weight? Believe it or not, but buying paper is an art all on its own. Youve got different fibers to choose from (cotton, cellulose, combination), youve got different finishes (rough, cold, hot), youve got a menagerie of weights (60 lb. 300 lb.), and then youve got factors such as: should you use single sheets, should you use a sketch pad, a block, a roll, a board?
Lets elaborate so you can make the right decision for yourself, and Ill let you know what I use.
Fibers: Cotton, Cellulose, Combination
Cotton paper is made of cotton fiber, like your shirt. There are different %s of cotton in different papers. Some are 50%, others are 100%. Cotton paper is generally considered the highest quality paper you can purchase because its durable, it holds media (graphite, charcoal) well because its porous, its durable against erasing and reworking, and the highest grades are non-acidic, archival, and can last over one hundred years with proper care.
Cellulose paper is made out of wood pulp and because of such is acidic. This acid will destroy the paper over time. The paper you use for homework is cellulose.
Combination paper is (obviously) cotton and cellulose combined and is commonly marked as multi-purpose. Good examples of this type of paper is pastel, charcoal, watercolor paper, and Bristol boards.
My suggestion of what you should use:
Always, no matter what the circumstance, get paper that is marked acid free. You wont find this on cellulose which means I dont recommend cellulose at all. Get cotton if you can, but if youre squeezed for cash go with a combination thats been buffered to be non-acidic and, if you can find it, archival.
Finish: Rough, Cold, Hot
Rough paper is just that, rough. Its the type of paper that has the most texture to it because it hasnt been run through presses to flatten or smooth the surface. This would include artistic Japanese papers and handmade papers that you might find at a high-end hobby store.
Cold stands for cold press, which means its been run through rollers to be smoothed, but not so much as to loose its surface texture.
Hot stands for hot press, which means its been run through a machine at high temperatures to achieve the smoothest paper surface possible. Hot pressed paper has nearly no texture at all.
My suggestion of what you should use:
Cold pressed paper is the most popular and the easiest to find, and its also the paper that will hold your medium the best as well. Dont use rough paper for artwork unless youre looking for a very particular effect. Rough paper looks cool but its typically delicate and will tear under too much pressure or a lot of erasing. Avoid hot pressed paper because its extremely smooth surface doesnt hold graphite or charcoal very well and it isnt particularly friendly to shading.
Paper weight, or gsm (grams per square meter), is a measurement of how heavy five hundred sheets of paper are when theyre stacked one on top of another. You may be wondering what the big deal is, and really, there isnt any. Its just a measurement of how thick a single sheet of paper is. Typically, youll find the lightest paper to be somewhere around 60 lbs. while the heaviest will be somewhere around 90 lbs. Anything under 60 lbs. is getting a bit too close into the tracing paper area that we dont like whatsoever. (Tracing paper=evil. Dont do it. Dont do it. Dont do it.) Anything over 90 lbs. is going to cost you an arm and a leg and you probably cant find it anyway.
My suggestion of what you should use:
If you have to use 60 lb., use 60 lb. But if I could dictate to you exactly what to use, I wouldnt use anything under 76 lbs. Basically, the thinner the paper the less workable it is and the more chance you stand of tearing it while working with it. I swear by 90 lb. paper, but I rarely if ever erase (yes, if youre read this far youve gotten a bit of Cinquain trivia). So why use paper so heavy? When I work I put a lot of weight into blending. My pieces are high contrast so my blacks need to pop, therefore they need to be as black as possible. If you know youre going to be a bit rough with your paper while working, I suggest a higher gsm.
So what about pencils and erasers and things?
The cardinal rule would be to use what youre comfortable with. Im not going to go into specifics with what types of pencils you should use, or whether you should blend with a stub or with your hands, because all of that results in a different look. You should experiment with different materials and different ways of applying those materials in an attempt to find your own style.
I started out working with graphite and ended up loathing it.
I rarely use pencils and mostly use compressed charcoal.
I think blending stubs should be annihilated from the face of the planet.
But that doesnt mean you wont be using graphite pencils and blending with a stub. Despite what you choose to work with, do yourself a huge favor:
Get a good eraser.
Get a good sharpener.
The worst thing in the world is sharpening a pencil until its three inches long because the lead keeps breaking. You might think the pencil sucks, but its probably your sharpener. The best sharpener Ive come across so far is one made by Prismacolor. It was three bucks. Very worth it.
Its easy to draw from a reference photo because its right in front of you, right?
Yeah, sure it is, bub. Get to it then.
What? Whyre you looking at me like that?
Okay fine. Take a look at your image. Note the key features thatll be the center of your image. Pay attention to where details are located upon the paper as well as in relation to each other. Pay attention to angles and curves and how they work in relation to each other. Basically, study that picture in your hand like [my god, could it be possible?] an artist.
Rule #3: Proportion is harder than it looks.
Though you might think its cheating [which its not], find yourself a ruler. Those key elements that you picked out earlier
measure how far they are from the edge of your image. From the top. From the right. From the left. From the bottom. Measure how far that element is from another element. Make some notes in the margin of your picture so you dont have to remeasure a million times, because thats quite the waste of time, isnt it?
If youre drawing a face, check out where the mouth begins in proportion to the eye. Same with the nose. These proportions will be different for every picture you draw, so yeah
bad news
you have to go through this process each and every time. Yes, its exhausting. Its my least favorite part. Truthfully, I absolutely hate it, but I grit my teeth and do it because its part of the process.
Wait a second, thats all fine and good if youre drawing an exact replica, but what about bigger pieces? More bad news: ratios. Almost all of my pieces are 2:1, meaning that they are twice the size of my reference image. If I have a picture thats 8 x 11, my original artwork will end up being 16 x 22 and so on. [Youre probably wishing you took more math classes, arent you?] In short, if you measure out that the start of a key detail is 4 from your top border, if your piece is going to be twice as big as your reference then that key element will end up 8 from your top border in your work. Simple.
While a lot of artists just draw and leave their piece open with no definite borders, I dont work that way. If you look at my gallery you see that everything has a border around it, and thats actually how my stuff looks in person as well. Why do it? For one, it makes your work look far more professional. For another, its striking. People dont expect it, so when they see it the fact that the picture is so organized makes them go wow before the picture every hits them.
How do you plan your border? Well, remember that cropping we talked about earlier? Your crop should be your border. If you cropped your picture at a 10 x 10 and youre working on a 1:1 ratio [I hope youre following this] youll want to make your border at 10 x 10 on the paper youre working on.
Rule #4: Border your picture before you start working.
If youre going to follow my bordering suggestion, create your border before you start working, not after. Common sense. If you have a border set up you can easily refer to your measurements which youve scribbled in your margins to help you move through the piece until its finished.
A secret: Keeping a border clean is next to impossible. Buy some easy release drafting tape or the lightest adhesive grade of painters tape. Apply the tape to the outside of your border to keep your image from spilling over the sides. Fair warning, however, the lighter weight your paper the more chance you have of tearing the paper when you remove the tape. Drafting tape is made to come off of paper cleanly and without ripping, but it wasnt designed for you to rest your wrist against it for hours while drawing. The parts that you rest against become more affixed to the paper than the spots that you dont apply a constant weight to. I use tape, but I also use 90 lb. paper, and Ill be honest, sometimes the paper threatens to tear. Its scary, but the end result is worth the risk.
Rule #5: Never draw before you sketch.
Theres a difference between drawing and sketching. If you look at a drawing as a building, the drawing part are the windows and marble walls and fancy outer facades, and the sketch is the steel beam skeleton hidden beneath all the pretty details. Ive seen a lot of portrait artists, especially on dA, who post step-by-step how to images where there is no sketching stage in sight. To that I give you fair warning, do it that way if you want to, but youll screw it up nine times out of ten. It makes no sense building a skyscraper with no blueprint, so why draw a picture without a sketch?
The sketch is a perfect time to get your proportions down. This gives you the opportunity to use your measurements and see if they look right. If they dont you can easily erase your mistakes and correct them because you havent actually started your drawing at all. Nothing has been ruined.
The cardinal rules of sketching:
- Always use a light wash graphite pencil [one that erases easily and cleanly].
- Never use a pencil with a sharp point. If youve just sharpened your pencil, scribble onto a piece of paper to dull the tip before sketching. This keeps you from scarring the paper with something you might end up erasing later.
- Never ever press hard against the paper while sketching. You want to be able to see what youre doing, of course. Keep it visible, but keep it as light as possible.
- Dont be afraid to sketch shadows. Leaving a sketch as line art doesnt work too well when youre going for realism, so put in the shadows. Just keep it light. This will help you see whether or not your finished product will look the way you want it to.
- Never sketch with charcoal. Cmon.
Unless youre going for an animated feel, you shouldnt have outlines anywhere in your picture. Contours must be suggested by shading, not by simply drawing a curve. If youre drawing a nose, dont draw it the way you sketched it. Shade it until the curves are suggested. The same with mouths. Unless you want every image you produce to appear as though theres lip liner everywhere, a mouth does not have a darker line where the lip begins
so its all about keeping your tones in check. A lot of beginning artists are notorious for breaking the outline rule around the chin and jawline.
Shading & Blending
As stated above, shading should be your primary concern. The most useful advice I can give to anyone whos getting into drawing or looking to improve their skill is to always remember that drawing isnt about lines and shapes, its about suggesting lines and shapes with darkness and light. If you remember that rule youll eventually achieve the realism youre going for.
Blending can be plenty tricky and though many like to use blending stubs, Ive learned that using anything other than my fingers wont do. If you want a smooth, soft look use your fingers to spread charcoal or graphite onto the page rather than blending stubs or a wadded up piece of tissue. Also, if you have a kneadable eraser you can fashion it into a fine tip and use that to blend as well.
A common misconception is that an eraser can fix anything. Thats a myth. Even if youre just shading, if you rub at a piece of paper enough it will absorb the graphite or charcoal and any amount of erasing wont remove it. The best way to approach a piece of work youll be proud of is to try to use your eraser to actually erase as little as possible. Sure, youll have to erase something somewhere, but if you were satisfied with your sketch your erasing should be minimal at best.

Difficult math in this division
Difficult math in this division
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Welcome to the 2012 AL East, where the difference between the first and last place teams is Cody Ross stumbling for half a beat while catching a 200-foot pop-up.
That was all the time alert Rays runner Matt Joyce needed to tag and break for home in the sixth inning last night. He beat Ross's throw with the winning run in Tampa Bay's 2-1 victory that perfectly symbolized the level of parity in Baseball's Toughest Division.

BECKLEY (AP) — Mitt Romney stirred up support for three Republican hopefuls by bashing President Obama in Beckley.
The top of the ticket won't benefit most from the former GOP presidential nominee's Tuesday visit at Tamarack.
Republican Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito is favored to flip retiring Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller's seat. She faces Democratic Secretary of State Natalie Tennant.
Former Maryland GOP lawmaker Alex Mooney has a tougher task keeping Capito's seat red. He faces former state Democratic Party Chairman Nick Casey.
Democrat-turned-Republican state Sen. Evan Jenkins is challenging Democratic Congressman Nick Rahall.
In 2012, Rahall split the ticket in the 3rd Congressional District, which favored Romney by 32 percentage points, the most of the state's three congressional districts. Romney won every West Virginia county.

Over 300 people crowded into the St. Emmanuel District Association Saturday. All there to say goodbye to a family tragically taken last week, on Highway 6.
"Thats a great big loss. I had never seen a loss like that before. I've heard it but I've never seen it," said attendee Lorene Kiney.
Three grandchildren and their grandmother, 61-year-old Daisy Jackson, were all suddenly gone.
"She was a good person, Daisy was a good person. I never did hear her say nothing wrong about nobody," said Kiney.
10-year-old De'Vonte Jackson played basketball, and was in the 5th grade. He would have turned 11 next month.
"He was very talented with a great smile, always fun," said his Little Dribblers coach Charles Pope. "He was just a great all around kid."
De'Vonte will be burried with his little brother De'Monyea. "He was just three years old," said a relative.
The smallest casket was reserved for the boys' cousin, four-year-old Starr Jackson.
"Every year we always had their birthdays, my sons was on the 7th, hers was on the 9th and we always had their parties together. We're gonna always miss her and love her. She's in a better place now," said Brittney Taylor.
Countless family traditions and routines have been altered forever. The four leave behind siblings, parents, children, grandparents, and other grandchildren.
The family will be laid to rest Monday, in West Texas. Six-year-old De'Venna Jackson is the only one to survive from that vehicle.
Family friends say she has been released from Scott and White, in Temple, but will continue to undergo physical therapy.
She was able to attend Saturday's service for her brothers, De'Vonte and De'Monyea.

The Good News Is - There Is No Change
Montville Township has just completed a new 5-year contract for residential garbage and recycling pickup. We will continue using Suburban Disposal, Inc. for the curbside collection of garbage, recyclables, and vegetative waste. Collections under this contract will be for all single-family and condominium homes in the Township.
The schedules for all pickups will remain the same:
Details of these services can be found on the Garbage and Recycling page.
With the winter season in full swing, the Township of Montville would like to the remind residents of the Township's policy regarding sledding at Camp Dawson. To provide a brief history, in 2007 there was a sledding accident at Camp Dawson which led to a significant lawsuit against the Township. The lawsuit prompted the Township to implement various safety measures. Unfortunately, it was difficult to maintain a safe sledding area at Camp Dawson. So, in 2010, both the Township Committee and the Recreation Commission both voted to ban sledding at Camp Dawson. While the sledding ban remains in place at Camp Dawson, there are no plans to discuss and/or adopt an ordinance banning the activity on any other Township-owned property.
(November 21) JCP&L's attorney, in a letter dated November 20th, indicated that "JCP&L respectfully declines Montville Township's invitation to participate" in the Township Committee's meeting on November 25th. Despite JCP&L's absence, the Township Committee will continue with it's plan to hold that meeting starting at 6:00 pm Tuesday evening. A representative of Maser Consulting will be present to review the JCP&L project at that time.
(November 14) In a letter from the Township's attorney, representatives of JCP&L were invited to attend the next meeting of the Township Committee on Tuesday, November 25th, starting early at 6:00 pm. They were requested to bring JCP&L's responses to the public feedback that was presented at the November 10th Open House meetings. During this meeting, there will be a review of the project by the Township's consultant, Maser Consulting, as well as an opportunity for public comment. The Township Committee also intends to make a position statement during the meeting.
(November 8) JCP&L has created a new website specifically to provide information and answer questions about the Montville-Whippany Reinforcement Project. The Project Overview tab provides additional information, including maps, for the new "revised preferred route," particularly in the areas of the Lazar Middle School and the Chase and Meadows condominium communities.
JCP&L's "Energizing NJ's Future" Website
(November 5) JCP&L issued a Press Release on November 4th announcing "a revised preferred route for a 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line that avoids some congested areas originally considered for the project." The press release also confirmed the two November 10th meetings where they "will share maps and other details of the route." Low-resolution maps of the revised preferred route are available in the project Informational Flyer and on Flickr.
(October 30) On Wednesday, October 27th, JCP&L sent a letter to the Township and to local property owners within 200 feet of their Preferred Route for their Montville-Whippany Reinforcement Project. They will be holding two open houses on Monday, November 10th, one of which will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Montville Township High School auditorium. All are invited to attend. These meetings will provide residents an opportunity to learn more about the project and to ask questions. Those unable to attend the evening meeting at the high school may be able to attend the one to be held the same day from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon at the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel, located at 199 Smith Road in Parsippany.

$11 for $30 Worth of Latin Cuisine
The menu includes empanadas stuffed with ground beef, cheddar cheese, and veggies ($10); chilies rellenos stuffed with seafood under a lobster-chili-cream sauce ($25); and green-lipped New Zealand mussels sauteed in white wine, chile, garlic, bacon, tomatoes, and blue cheese with local herbs.
Fuego Bistro
Flavors from Oaxaca, Cuba, and Yucatan add depth to the menus at Fuego Bistro restaurants, three gourmet Mexican oases that pride themselves on their modern culinary touches. Among the warm reds and yellows and inviting black wicker chairs at the original Fuego Bistro, diners dig into ancho-dusted salmon croquettes and a seafood chili relleno with lobster cream-chili sauce.
The ambiance was charming and the server was friendly, knowledgeable and unobtrusive.

About me: I recently left behind the beaches and weather of Bradenton, Florida to join the amazing team here at Augsburg College. My career has been focused on education, and I enter my nineteenth year in College Counseling and Admissions. I still pretend I am an athlete, trying hard not to let younger more athletic players beat me in tennis, softball, golf, and basketball. As a former student-athlete, coach, and member of residence life, I know how important staying active and involved on campus is while you are a student. So if you are interested in varsity athletics, living and learning on campus, or just want to be more engaged in the community, there is a place for you here at Augsburg.
Why I love Augsburg College: I am a passionate believer in the benefits of a small school education.
Advice to new Auggies: When I worked in a high school setting, the biggest concern I heard was around the fear of making a bad choice. There are no bad choices, the importance of a college degree is so critical in today's world. You will know what feels right, that always talked about "gut feeling." We hope it is Augsburg College, a very special place where your education is only the beginning. We are what the world will be, and we hope you join us!

About Me: I have been a member of the Augsburg College community for more than 20 years now since I came from New York as a student in 1989. While it is hard to out myself for being as old as I am, I have loved every year I have spent here at Augsburg. I have been fortunate to continue my growth from being a student to being an employee and now a student again. I live in Prior Lake, MN where I spend lots of time with my wife and running my 5 kids to and fro while trying to get a work out or a game of racquetball in here and there. The competitiveness I had as a varsity soccer player here continues in the occasional 5k, half marathon, and a hopeful 5th marathon soon. I am thankful for the many opportunities for growth I have had at Augsburg and I know there are many for you as well.
Why I love Augsburg College: I have been blessed with the gift of longevity here at Augsburg, so I have been able to see where the college had been, where it is now, and where it is going. Augsburg is always growing, changing, and evolving with the times. We have been on the cutting edge with programs like Honors, StepUp, CLASS, Women's Ice Hockey and Lacrosse to name a few. GO AUGGIES!
Advice to new Auggies: Well, if you haven't met with me during your campus visit, I would encourage you to open your mind and be willing to try new things. Augsburg will provide you with so many opportunities to grow, learn, be challenged and have fun, so take advantage of it.

Augsburg is an extremely welcoming and inclusive community; it's my home.
Advice to new Auggies: Be confident! Augsburg has so many support services for students, so even though the transition to college can be both scary and exciting, take all of the opportunities you can and explore new things!

My goal for the next five years is to cook more gourmet food, and travel to at least two foreign countries.
Why I love Augsburg College: One of the things I love most about Augsburg is the diversity of the campus. Everyone has a unique story about where they came from and how they got here. The students, faculty and staff all have different perspectives on our world which allows us to learn and grow with one another.
Advice to new Auggies: Everyone has their own gifts and talents to share – make sure you continue to use yours! Also, take advantage of opportunities to be involved on campus such as service learning, special events, athletic games, and student organizations. Those memories will last a lifetime!

Europe's top antitrust regulator is set to sign off in the coming days on the proposed $1.9 billion acquisition of EMI Music's record labels by Universal Music Group.
Joaquín Almunia, the European Union's antitrust chief, said the parties had proposed remedies that were market-tested and that those tests had demonstrated the need for further concessions by the parties. "We have analyzed this second wave" of remedies, Almunia told reporters after a speech at Georgetown University Law School, and a decision is expected by Sept. 27 at the latest. "Most probably we will announce our decision before the last day," he said.
The deal has raised competition concerns in the U.S. In August, the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee sent a letter to Federal Trade Commission Chairman Jonathan Leibowitz urging a careful review of the deal. Sens. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, expressed concern that the combined company would have a 40 percent share of the U.S. market for recorded music.
Almunia didn't say whether the FTC's portion of the antitrust review was also nearing an end. "I think the conditions of the merger in the two markets are not the same." The problems in Europe, in terms of concentration of the recorded music industry, "are more evident," he said.

You have likely heard of the Pioneer accountable care organization. The CMS chose Pioneer ACOs based on the infrastructure already in place that the CMS deemed closely related to an ACO model. This was an early "testing" phase for the Medicare Shared Savings Program ACO. Pioneer ACOs are subject to different shared savings methodology. There are 32 Pioneer ACOs throughout the country.
What You Should Know About Accountable Care Organizations
Comparing Commercial ACOs To Medicare ACOs
The ACO model exists in both the public and private sectors with many private health insurance companies having ACO-like contracts with providers. As with Medicare ACOs, typically the physician providers in commercial ACOs are large groups or independent practice associations that have the necessary infrastructure and information technology capacity to meet the ACO's care coordination and reporting criteria.
Health industry consulting firm Oliver Wyman reports that in addition to the 2.4 million Medicare beneficiaries who receive care under a Medicare ACO, up to another 15 million non-Medicare patients receive care through Medicare ACOs.7 Eight million to 14 million individuals are part of commercial ACOs run by large national and regional insurance companies for their non-Medicare populations. Commercial ACOs are having a growing impact on healthcare delivery throughout the nation.
Commercial ACOs share a similar mission with Medicare ACOs, namely to reduce cost while improving care. However, the implementation of a commercial ACO can be different in a number of significant ways including eligibility requirements for physicians. Commercial ACOs do not need to adhere to the same number and types of quality measures as defined by the CMS. Nor does the commercial ACO need to adhere to the governance structure and cost sharing formula applicable to Medicare ACOs. The commercial payer, rather than Medicare, provides the financial incentive for quality and cost performance. Each commercial ACO differs. Therefore, your participation in a commercial ACO should be informed by the specific guidelines of the specific commercial ACO.
A representative of a Blue Cross ACO commented that its commercial ACOs include large physician groups that may employ or contract with podiatrists, but the insurer does not dictate the group's arrangement with the podiatrist.8 If the group shares any cost savings, it determines how such savings are distributed to group physician providers, including podiatrists and other specialists. Commercial ACOs are evolving and many variations are developing.
In Conclusion
There is an increasing number of ACOs across health systems in the United States. Providers who have the resources and infrastructure available to meet ACO requirements, such as health quality and expenditure data reporting, are in the best position to adopt this model. For DPMs who are interested in participating in an ACO, relationships with health systems, health plans, hospitals and independent practice associations will be critical.
Medicare and commercial ACOs reward improved outcomes along with a reduction in the cost of healthcare spending. Whether you are interested in participating in an ACO or not, you are best prepared for continued changes in healthcare delivery and reimbursement if you have a process to monitor your quality, efficiency and expenditures. Demonstrating your provision of cost-effective care will continue to be an imperative in this healthcare market.

Pork's continuing sizzle

Festivals and Events Louisville is home to some of the most exciting and unique festivals and events in the country. You see the premieres of the newest plays by America's cutting-edge playwrights, or see sports history being made by a Kentucky Derby winner or experience rural charm at a state fair. Actors Theatre of Louisville hosts the Humana Festival of New American Plays every year in March and April. The Kentucky Derby is the most legendary horse race in the world and the pageantry and tradition of this annual rite of spring is celebrated every May. The Kentucky Derby Festival is a two-week extravaganza of community events and parties that culminate in the "run for the roses." Beatles fans from all over the world converge on Louisville in May for Abbey Road on the River, the largest Beatles festival in the world. Summer welcomes the Street Rod Nationals, the world's largest participation automotive event, and the Kentucky State Fair, one of the largest fairs in the country.

Winter ushers in the holidays, and the city twinkles with the holiday spirit when the lights of the season are lit at Light Up Louisville in November. All of Louisville's arts venues honor the season with annual productions, and the mayor of the city welcomes the New Year with the Mayor's New Year's Eve Party. These are just a small sampling of the myriad of events that Louisville has to offer. Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Derby Festival – Louisville hosts a significant number of outdoor festivals and events annually, but the city is most recognized as the home of the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Derby Festival, which includes Thunder Over Louisville, North America's largest annual pyrotechnics display.

At the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors website, you can search for properties to buy. The availability and cost of housing is a significant plus for the Louisville area. Census statistics Climate Louisville experiences four unique seasons a year, with weather conditions that can range from very active to very pleasant. Summers in the Louisville area are often very warm and humid, while winters are cool and variable. Snowfall averages 12.5 inches (31.8 cm) per year but can vary considerably, ranging in recent years from 0.9 inches (2.3 cm) in 1988-89 to 50.1 inches (127.3 cm) in 1977-78.

The focus of the performing arts in Louisville is the Kentucky Center for the Arts which opened in 1983. The Center includes two theaters. There are a large number of additional cultural attractions, including the Louisville Ballet, Louisville Orchestra, Kentucky Opera, and Actors Theatre. Newcomers are generally happy with the wide variety of high-quality cultural attractions. Since Louisville is home to Churchill Downs, it's not surprising that horse racing is a popular attraction.

Louisville International Airport (SDF) is just 7 miles or 10 minutes from downtown. Serviced by 12 carriers the airport offers an average of 100 daily departures with non-stop or direct service to many destinations across the U.S. plus Mexico, and Canada. Louisville International Airport is the fifth busiest air cargo facility in the United States and the tenth busiest in the world thanks in large part to United Parcel Service (UPS), which maintains an air hub at the airport. Louisville's Bowman Field (LOU) is another airport in the area, which services smaller private and corporate aircraft. Taxes Kentucky imposes a 6% sales tax on all items other than food and medicine.
