Adah Bakalinsky says there are more than 650 public stairways in San Francisco. She knows because she's climbed them all except the newest ones. And at age 90, she still climbs them with friends.
"At the spur of the moment, we might decide to walk, to check out something interesting about an area. ... Walks are always full of surprises," said Bakalinsky, who has been walking San Francisco's public stairways since 1970.
Bakalinsky has written two books on walks using public stairways, one for Los Angeles and one for San Francisco.
Americans have gotten accustomed to navigating through urban areas by car, and the interstates and arterials running around and through cities may give potential walkers pause.
But there are discoveries to be made on foot — call it urban hiking, urban walking or just going for a stroll. Paths and trails that have been created over the years, and are still being created, are being discovered as portals to urban epiphanies.
Author and adventurer Dan Koeppel has led thousands on walks over the past eight years through historic Los Angeles, up to landmarks like the Hollywood Sign, and up and down public stairways.
Koeppel says these treks are akin to "urban forensics." Included in some of his tours is a spot beneath a bridge where there's graffiti written by hobos who rode the rails a century ago.
With urban walks, Koeppel says, "You get to know your neighbors, your city and what people are doing."
Each May, he leads a 40-mile, two-day trek called the Big Parade, which starts downtown and ends at the Hollywood Sign. Some people walk just a few miles of the Big Parade. Some do the whole walk. One of the featured attractions is a little-known pedestrian pathway along the Pasadena Freeway. It's "a combination of stairs, tunnels, ramps, spirals and walkways that makes you feel as if you're literally standing in the middle of traffic," he says. In fact, you are standing in the middle of traffic — but protected by a caged barrier.
Elsewhere, Atlanta is developing a 22-mile network of multiuse trails. The project is not complete, but walkers, runners and cyclists already are swarming a 2-mile segment of recently finished paved trail. Houston is developing trails and parks along its bayous. And planners in other cities are embarking on similar projects, trying to make their towns more attractive.
Some urban walks can seem almost pastoral. On the trails overlooking downtown Portland, Ore., it's easy to forget that you are in city limits. You walk through stands of Douglas fir trees and hardwoods dripping with rainforest moss.
With its miles and miles of trails curling through forests on the West Hills and other areas, verdant Portland is an urban hiker's paradise.
"When we talk to people in the community, the No. 1 thing they want is opportunities to walk," said Mike Abbate, director of Portland Parks and Recreation.
One of the latest Portland efforts is something called the 4T trail, a tour that incorporates light-rail trains, trolleys, forest trails and even a sky tram that gives spectacular views of downtown and the surrounding countryside. You can take light-rail up into the West Hills, walk a couple of hours through the woods on hiking trails, come back down on the tram and take a trolley to downtown.
On urban walks, you're apt to see a greater range of people than you would on a trek in the wilderness. Frequenters of Portland's West Hills include hipsters with tight jeans and sneakers, athletes running in high-tech shoes, and gents and ladies wearing clothes you might expect to see at a performance of the Oregon Symphony.
A similar mix can be found on the trails under development in Atlanta. The Atlanta Beltline is being developed along an old rail corridor.
"It slices through the city in a way you can't do by car," said Ryan Gravel, an urban planner who came up with the idea for the Beltline in 1999 while working on his master's degree.
The 2-mile segment completed last year, paved and 14 feet wide, is "mobbed with people walking, jogging and biking," he said.
The Atlanta project is similar to one in New York called the High Line, an elevated park being developed atop a former railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan.
In some cities, once-forgotten public stairways are becoming an integral part of an urban walk. Many were built decades ago, sometimes connecting hilly neighborhoods with trolley lines or with other neighborhoods.
Seattle residents Jake and Cathy Jaramillo wrote a book about the estimated 650 public stairways in their hilly city and lead tours that focus on them. Their walks range from half a mile to 5 miles. Folks on the tours have discovered obscure public gardens, and spectacular views of Seattle, Lake Washington and distant mountains. Walkers also are rewarded with fresh perspectives on the city's history and architecture.
"You meet people along the way. They tell you stories and what they know. There is a social element as you get immersed in the neighborhoods," said Jake Jaramillo.
The forested hills west of downtown Portland, Ore., shown here are honeycombed with miles and miles of hiking trails. One of the latest Portland efforts is the 4T trail, which incorporates the city's light-rail trains, trolleys, forest trails and a sky tram that offers spectacular views.×

Summer is a time for camps.
Football, baseball, band, Scouts and churches all hold summer camps. It's a means for kids to gain some structured activity through the long, hot months of summer and an opportunity to learn new things. The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office held its annual camp this past week and introduced around 40 kids to the life of public safety officials.
"We hold the camp each summer to provide county youth the opportunity to learn more about the process of law enforcement and emergency services," said BCSO Sergeant Jimmy Ross, the camp's coordinator. "These camps help bridge that gap between the public and law enforcement and emergency services groups. Not just the sheriff's office, but the fire department, EMS, and Department of Natural Resources."
One of the camp presentations included the DNR teaching a class on boating safety.
The weeklong camp included classroom instruction, activities and two field trips, according to Ross.
"It also gives kids who may be interested in a career in law enforcement or emergency services a look at what those careers might offer," he said.
One of those, Corbin Kokinda, 12, from Goose Creek and a student at Sedgefield Middle School said he signed up for the camp because this is what he wants to do when he grows up. Corbin's father Dean Kokinda works in forensics with BCSO.
"I want to go into law enforcement," Kokinda said. "I think it's good to help out the community in need. This is what I want to do."
Kokinda, also a Boy Scout added the camp also teaches kids a lot about alcohol and drug abuse.

Sharing the Road
Sharing the Road
Farm safety is always an important discussion topic, but sometimes we forget about farm safety when machinery leaves the farm to travel on public roads. Tractor and machinery traffic has risen now that the weather has begun to cooperate. Although the number of accidents involving farm machinery and vehicles is relatively small, these accidents are five times as likely to cause a fatality than any other type of accident, according to Iowa State University Extension. As drivers of both farm machinery and non farm vehicles, we must all remind ourselves to safely share the roads this growing season.
Maintain lights and warning signs
Keep a slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign on machinery, and make sure it is not faded and worn. Check that all lights are working and clear of debris, and be aware of the lighting and marking suggestions from the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. This link has info on lighting, marking, and where to mount a SMV sign.
Make intentions clear
Use turn signals or hand signals; you're breaking the law if you don't. When driving down the road, use all of the road without crossing the centerline. Traveling on the shoulder or to the far right of the road causes drivers to be confused, says the University of Wisconsin Center for Agricultural Safety and Health. Most accidents occur when farm machinery slows down to turn left and is side swiped by a passing vehicle or when a vehicle runs into the back of an implement; both of which could be avoided if both parties are aware of signals.
Be aware
When driving a vehicle on the same road as farm machinery it is important to also take precautions. Watch for turn signals, and do not pass unless in a passing zone. Look for driveways or fields that the tractor may be turning into. Don't be impatient; the Oregon Department of Transportation says that slowing to 20 miles per hour for two miles delays the trip only six minutes, about the time it takes to wait at two stoplights. Be aware that, like semis, most drivers in tractors or other machinery cannot see you if you following too close.
Contact your local extension offices to get more information on local regulations involving machinery traveling on public roads. Safe driving!

The Buffalo Sabres' 4-1 win Tuesday in Pittsburgh ended the Penguins' 15-game winning streak and was easily their most complete game of the year. After the game, Steve Ott told Brian Engblom of the NBC Sports Network that he wanted General Manager Darcy Regier to be a buyer at the trade deadline rather than a seller.
Obviously, Ott didn't get his wish. The locker to his right in the Sabres' dressing room was empty Friday because captain Jason Pominville is in Minnesota, sent packing Wednesday.
"It was tough. Let's be honest," Ott said prior to the game against Ottawa in First Niagara Center. "What Jason has done for the Buffalo Sabres over the last 10 years or so is unbelievable. He's a heckuva player. It's not easy to replace a guy like that. It takes years to build a prospect into a Jason Pominville. It's disheartening in the fact that our team obviously wasn't playing up to where it needs to be."
Ott said he was hoping Regier would have added to the team because he hasn't given up on the playoff race.
"You always want to have hope and we still have hope in this dressing room," Ott insisted. "We have eight home games left [prior to Friday] and three on the road. A little bit of our destiny is in our hands but we have to win games. That's a fact of where we are right now."
Ott's contract runs through next year and like teammates Thomas Vanek and Ryan Miller, he said he'd like to talk to Regier about the franchise's rebuilding plans.
"I think we all are [interested], absolutely," Ott said. "I'm 30 years old. I don't know like everybody else where everybody stands. In these type of moments, you look at where you are. Obviously I came in here with aspirations of staying hopefully for a long time and that's up to Darcy and management to do so. I go out there and I'm just a hockey player. We'll let the management do their job."
The Sabres made Ott an alternate captain in the wake of Pominville's departure and he said he was "humbled and honored" by that distinction, even if he doesn't need an actual letter on his sweater to lead.
Plenty of observers think Ott could be the permanent captain next season. Of course, he would likely need to sign an extension to get that title.
"That's definitely not even on my radar," Ott said of the captaincy. "No particular feelings about myself. I truly just want to be a hockey player on this team and be successful here. And that's the main focus, having a successful team, being a playoff team and being committed to the city rather than any leadership role.
"I don't look at a letter or title as anything," Ott said. "Leadership is a mindset. Everybody out here leads in their own way."
Drew Stafford was relieved to still be in Buffalo after weeks of rumors that he was going elsewhere at the deadline.
"Near the end there, my phone was blowing up around 4 o'clock that something was going on," Stafford said. "I didn't know what the story was or where that started. It was definitely stressful. Just thankful that now it's behind me."
Stafford reiterated that he wanted to stay with the Sabres.
"I'm definitely happy with the way it worked out," he said.
"It is a business and Darcy has to make decisions. If I was one of the guys that had to be moved out of here, I'd have to accept that and move forward. At the same time, it didn't happen so now my focus is staying here and continuing to try to get better.
It took a long time for the Pominville trade to be finalized and registered by the league Wednesday and, as it turns out, the reason was money. The Wild was very tight to the salary cap and the Sabres have retained some of Pominville's salary on their cap the next two years.
According to capgeek.com, the figure is $795,000 for next year. Although common in other sports, salary retention had not previously been an option for NHL teams before but was added in the new collective bargaining agreement.
Johan Larsson and Matt Hackett, the two prospects acquired from Minnesota for Pominville, dressed for the Amerks Friday night against Lake Erie. Hackett was the backup goalie to David Leggio.
Larsson scored a goal for Rochester in a 3-1 loss to Lake Erie.

Sleep Diagnostics
Sleep is essential to our well being, yet, most people are unaware of its importance and do not talk about it with their doctors. Lack of sleep affects productivity, is linked to serious medical conditions, and can depress one's outlook and quality of life. But, the good news is that of the more than 70 identified sleep disorders, most can be effectively treated once they are correctly diagnosed.
Community Hospital in Munster offers state-of-the-art medical equipment and qualified staff to assist with the proper diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
Sleep Disorders
Our highly experienced staff works with the patient and their physician to treat and improve the quality of both sleeping and waking hours. We are equipped to diagnose and treat a complete range of sleep disorders including:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness - a direct result of sleep disruptions at night
- Sleep apnea - a disorder in which a person stops breathing momentarily. In obstructive sleep apnea, breathing is blocked by a closure or collapse of tissues in the throat preventing airflow through the nose
- Restless leg syndrome - a creeping, "crawling" sensation in the legs that causes an irresistible urge to move and may lead to sleep disruption
- Circadian rhythm disorders - experienced by shift workers, frequent flyers and others whose normal 24-hour biological clock is disrupted resulting in sleep deprivation
- Epilepsy - seizures during sleep, consisting of trancelike state, unusual behaviors or crying out loud or convulsions
- Narcolepsy - a neurological disorder that causes periods of extreme sleepiness and is associated with cataplexy (sudden attacks of muscle weakness triggered by a strong emotion such as crying or laughing)
- Parasomnias - abnormal behaviors related to sleep such as sleep terrors, head banging, sleepwalking and nocturnal binge eating
- Periodic limb movement disorder - involves frequent leg movements and leg jerks during sleep, awakening an individual
One Night With Us Could Make a Lifetime of Difference
A polysomnography (PSG) evaluation at Community Hospital Sleep Diagnostics consists of spending the night in one of the lab's comfortable, homelike bedrooms furnished with adjustable mattress, TV/VCR, nightstand, desk, sink and lounge chair. Private bath and shower facilities are available for each patient. The PSG is a painless, non-invasive procedure that requires a specially trained technologist to attach various electrodes that record electrical activity from the brain (EEG); heart(EKG);and muscle(EMG). A microphone is taped to the throat to record snoring; a sensor is placed under the nose to detect airflow; and belts placed around the chest and abdomen to monitor breathing. All this activity is monitored in a control area adjacent to the patient rooms.

DELAND, Fla. – Fresh off of its first out of state road trip this season, the Stetson University softball team will be back at the friendly confines of Patricia Wilson Field this week, when it hosts Marist and Buffalo in non-conference games.
The Hatters (15-5) (3-2), will first take on Marist in a doubleheader, Tuesday, Mar. 18 and then Buffalo in a single game on Wednesday, Mar. 19.
Stetson went 3-2 during its first week of conference play, taking two of three from previously No. 25 ranked USC Upstate and then splitting two games with Mercer in Macon, before the serious finale was rained out on Sunday.
The Hatters have performed exceptionally well in DeLand, posting a 12-2 record and 2-1 mark against A-Sun opponents. They have also hit 17 of their 19 long balls this season at Patricia Wilson Field and scored an average of 6.1 runs per game while at their home field.
Last week, pitcher and designated player Meredith Owen reached two notable milestones. She became just the third player in Stetson history to belt 25 home runs and the sixth pitcher in program history with 50 wins. The two feats were accomplished within a day of one another as she picked up her 50th victory in a complete game three-hitter vs. USC Upstate, Mar. 11 and then collected her 25th long ball, Mar. 12 vs. the same Spartan team, with a towering two-run shot to left to tie the game at 3-3.
Owen's pair of achievements has carved out a special place for her in the A-Sun record books as she became just the second player in conference history to reach the 50 win/25 home run plateau. The only other player to match Owen's feat was Florida Atlantic's Nicole Myers who amassed 54 home runs and 108 wins from 1999-02.
Owen currently leads Stetson in home runs with seven and is third in the conference in that category. She is also tops on the team with eight wins, which places her fifth in the A-Sun.
She and the Hatters take on Marist first at 4 p.m., Tuesday at Patricia Wilson Field, then again in Game 2 at approximately 6:30 p.m. The Red Foxes will play UCF in Orlando on Monday, before their match-up with Stetson.
Wednesday's game with Buffalo gets underway at 6 p.m. as the Bulls will also be playing games in Orlando, before their trip to DeLand. They take on Army and then Albany on Tuesday at UCF.
Tickets start at $5 per day and can be purchased online at GoHatters.com/tix or at the Patricia Wilson Field box office. Stetson students, faculty, and staff are free with a valid ID. Subscription based live video of the Stetson games will be available on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson softball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging system will provide in-game updates as well.
--Stetson leads the all-time series with Marist, 3-0
--Last meeting, Feb. 8, 2008, W, 7-2
--Stetson leads the all-time series with Buffalo, 1-0
--Last meeting, Feb. 16, 2013, W, 5-1

AlLL SUPER - location, apartment, host !!!! 5 stars !!!!!
For London a really quiet spot (you can hear the birds singing in the morning) - apartment clean and very welcoming. Isebail sent perfect information for our stay.
Travelling very easy and a huge and nice park around the corner, also EAST-STREET-Market. Nothing to complain - we certainly will book again.
It was a nice stay. The room is cosy clean and comfortable. Isebail is a great host and the location is really convenient . I would definitely recommend.
Room and bathroom very clean and quiet, nice and interesting host and convenient location: buses stop at 50 meters. The only downside was the wifi out of order, because we relied on it. Thanks Isebail!
Absolutely fantastic stay. Lovely lady such good hospitality.
Loved it. Great location.
Fantastic,bright and clean room with own bathroom, very quiet, wonderful bed, the flat cosy and clean, modern design, good location with excellent connections to all importantTourist sights, Isebail was so helpful and welcoming, it was lovely to talk to her, she had some good advice how to see London in a diffent way as usual, all in all I would give 10 points out of 10,
thank you Isebail, it was a great stay for me, I shall return definitely !! The best accommodation I have ever stayed in London at.
The room is very nice, bright and quiet situated. We had a good sleep - an important prerequisite for long city walks.
Nearby are also shops and a petrol station, which - as the name says - really everything seems to have what you might need (in our case, there were stamps, patches and Oreokekse.
With the short bus ride into the city center and a large park almost on the doorstep. The environment is a normal residential area - but you should not think of any old English mansion area, more like a suburb with normal people and abgewetztem charm.
The hostess is great, adorable and helps always on. At this point, once again thank you to you, Isebail.
Best regards from Berlin
Frank and Katrin
Das Zimmer ist sehr schön, hell und ruhig gelegen. Wir konnten gut schlafen - eine wichtige Voraussetzung für lange Stadtrundgänge.
In der Nähe sind auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und eine Tankstelle, die - wie der Name verspricht - wirklich alles zu haben scheint, was man brauchen könnte (in unserem Fall waren es Briefmarken, Pflaster und Oreokekse.
Mit dem Bus ist man schnell in der Innenstadt und ein großer Park liegt fast vor der Tür. Die Umgebung ist eine normale Wohngegend - man sollte sich aber keine altenglische Villengegend vorstellen, eher eine Art Vorstadt mit normalen Leuten und abgewetztem Charme.
Die Gastgeberin ist spitze, liebenswert und hilft stets weiter. An dieser Stelle noch einmal ein Dankeschön an Dich, Isebail.
Beste Grüße aus Berlin

Isebail was very helpful and a great hostess. One could feel at home. The apartment was clean and quiet. The bus was in walking distance, so it was easy to access the city.
Isebail war sehr hilfsbereit und eine super Gastgeberin. Man durfte sich wie zu Hause fühlen. Die Wohnung war gepflegt und ruhig. Der Bus war in wenigen Gehminuten erreichbar, sodass man schnell in der Innenstadt war.
We had a great stay. The flat was everything we needed - warm, clean and comfortable. We had total freedom to come and go as we wished which was
much appreciated as we were quite busy. Isebail was a warm, friendly and
helpful host and we would happily stay with her again.
My daughter and I are very happy with our stay in London. We stayed with a very warm and friendly woman. Our room was ok with a nice double bed. We had a private bathroom with a shower and had to use the kitchen whenever we wanted. We felt absolutely not in the way. We recommend this accommodation warm. It is about a 15-20 minute bus ride to the city. Many different busses at about 50-75 m away from the apartment.
Jag och min dotter är mycket nöjda med vår vistelse i London. Vi bodde hos en mycket gästvänlig och trevlig kvinna. Vårt rum var helt ok med skön dubbelsäng. Vi hade eget badrum med dusch och fick använda köket när vi ville. Vi kände oss absolut inte i vägen. Vi rekommenderar detta boende varmt. Det är ca 15-20 minuters busstur till city. Många olika bussar finns på ca 50-75 m avstånd från lägenheten.

quote: purple camera issue instead of rolling the camera back to the previous phone design.
quote: The iPhone 5 is a fine mobile device, with an excellent camera
quote: The most likely cause of the iPhone 5's purple haze is probably lens flare and internal reflections in the camera lens assembly. All lenses are succeptable to lens flare to some degree, and as you can see from the images at the top of this page, the iPhone 4S isn't immune either (ditto the iPhone 4 and competitive smartphones from other manufacturers).But in our shooting we've found that it's a little more noticeable on the iPhone 5. So why is that? It's unlikely that the flare is solely due to the much-vaunted inclusion of a sapphire glass lens cover (although the refractive index of the sapphire glass is different to conventional optical glass, so it could be a contributing factor). Our money is on it being caused by a combination of different things, none of which, alone, is unique to the iPhone 5.Really, our advice is not to worry. Just do what you should do anyway, and avoid putting bright lights near the edge of the frame when shooting.
quote: I am confused. Is this the same iPhone camera about which Dpreview, probably the web's most trusted and influential camera review site, said quote: The iPhone 5 is a fine mobile device, with an excellent camera

Attorneys representing Zenaida Gonzalez in Casey Anthony's bankruptcy case filed a motion asking for permission to depose Anthony.
According to the motion, as a creditor, Gonzalez wants more information about the so-called "friends" Anthony says are supporting her now.
Gonzalez's attorney claims they are entitled to get answers to questions Anthony did not answer during her sworn testimony last week in a Tampa bankruptcy court.
In July 2011, Anthony was found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

UNIVERSITY PARK -- The answers are Ohio State and Braxton Miller.
The questions? Name the Big Ten's best team and the league's best quarterback.
Saturday night's Ineligible Bowl didn't determine who will go to the Rose Bowl, but it did end the debate about whether Penn State or Ohio State is the Big Ten's best team, and whether Matt McGloin or Braxton Miller is the best quarterback.
The No. 9 Buckeyes dominated the second half, with Miller doing most of the damage, and snapped Penn State's five-game winning streak with a 35-23 victory Saturday night. A sold-out whiteout at Beaver Stadium created a great home environment, but the 107,818 fans didn't get to celebrate after the big showdown.
"We kind of beat ourselves tonight," said McGloin, who made one of the game's biggest mistakes on a pick-6 interception.
The Nittany Lions (5-3, 3-1 Big Ten) made several crushing mistakes and committed nine penalties for 85 yards. Coach Bill O'Brien also made some questionable decisions, while Ohio State's Urban Meyer picked up the win in his first game coaching at Beaver Stadium.
Neither PSU nor Ohio State is eligible to win the Big Ten championship or go to a bowl game because of NCAA sanctions, but the winner Saturday would get the inside track to claiming the Leaders Division title. The Buckeyes (9-0, 5-0) moved one step closer to an undefeated regular season, which they can achieve by beating Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan.
The Buckeyes have struggled at times this year, but Meyer wanted to focus on the biggest positive after the game.
"It's good to be 9-0. ... How many teams have gone 9-0?" he said. "We are going to enjoy that win."
One quarterback was 7-of-19 for 143 yards Saturday, while the other was 27-of-45 for 327 yards. It didn't matter, though, that McGloin set a career high in passing yardage because Miller was so good on the ground that it made his unimpressive passing totals moot.
"The plan was to keep him in the pocket and not let him run around because that's when he's at his best," PSU linebacker Gerald Hodges said of the talented sophomore signal caller.
Miller rushed for 134 yards on 25 carries, had one of the most exciting 1-yard touchdown runs you'll see and tossed a 72-yard scoring strike.
Had they known before the game that Miller would have those meek passing numbers, the Lions probably would have thought they would win.
"Yeah, definitely," linebacker Mike Hull said. "But it comes down to stopping the run, and we didn't do that tonight when we had to."
McGloin put up big numbers -- tying PSU legend Kerry Collins' school record with his sixth straight 200-yard game -- but he also threw a very costly interception that changed the momentum of the game.
Tied 7-7 at intermission, the Lions got the ball to start the second half but did so at their own 11 because Bill Belton fumbled the kick. McGloin was sacked for a 9-yard loss by linebacker Ryan Shazier on second down, and on the next play McGloin was picked off by Shazier, who had an easy path to the end zone.
"That kid made a great play, and my hat's off to him," said McGloin, who was trying to hit Alex Kenney over the middle. "I didn't think he would ever be there. He probably shouldn't have been there. Kenney cleared the first linebacker, and normally that guy will match up with your running back who's running a route outside. For some reason, he peeled back and picked it off."
McGloin said he never saw Shazier, and it was evident as the pass went right to the Buckeye defender.
"I don't know if he knew the play was coming or just read my eyes," McGloin said.
O'Brien credited McGloin for taking care of the ball all season -- it was just his third interception -- and said, "Matt will learn from that."
The Lions drove right back downfield and got a 27-yard field goal from Sam Ficken to make it 14-10, then Adrian Amos intercepted Miller to put PSU at the Ohio State 44. That drive stalled, though, and on fourth-and-9 from the 43, O'Brien called for a fake punt that wound up backfiring on him.
Punter Alex Butterworth's pass to running back Derek Day was incomplete, the Buckeyes took over at the 43 and began to seize control. Miller had two 13-yard passes and a 14-yard run on the drive, then on third-and-goal from the 1, he faked a handoff, avoided the rush and acrobatically dove into the end zone for a 21-10 lead.
Penn State went three-and-out on its next series, and Ohio State pretty much ended any drama by going 85 yards in just 2:15. Miller scored again from a yard out for a 28-10 cushion with 40 seconds left in the third quarter.
The Buckeyes scored 21 points in the third -- 14 against the PSU defense -- after managing only seven in the first half.
"We knew the scheme going in, and it just comes down to executing our defense and filling our gaps," Mauti said of trying to stop Miller. "It's really not what they're doing, it's what we're doing and what we can do better moving forward."
Hodges said the defense wanted to keep Miller under control without devoting one spy on him. That didn't work.
In some ways, watching Miller was like watching Michigan's Denard Robinson run wild for 191 yards in a 2010 loss to PSU at Beaver Stadium.
"They're both quick, and they make plays with their feet, and that's why their coach put them in the situation to get out of the pocket, the draw plays," Hodges said.
It's no surprise that Miller had a big game. That Ohio State's defense played as well as it did, however, was a big surprise.
The Buckeyes allowed 49 points against Indiana and 38 to Nebraska, but they came with some well-timed blitzes and made things tough on Penn State all night. McGloin was sacked four times -- same number as Miller -- and the PSU signal caller had a tough night despite his impressive final numbers.
The Lions' NASCAR offense wasn't much of a factor, and they had only 36 yards rushing while averaging just 1.3 yards per attempt.
"Their front seven was tremendous," McGloin said. "They have some good D-linemen, some good backers, and they applied pressure all night, and they were definitely well-prepared."
Penn State 7, Ohio State 0: The Lions got a huge special teams play by Mike Hull, who broke through and blocked a punt from Ben Buchanan on fourth-and-13 at the 14. The ball rolled into the end zone, and Mike Yancich smothered it for a TD with 6:15 left in the half.
Penn State 7, Ohio State 7: The Buckeyes fell behind after a special teams mistake, and they took advantage of a PSU mistake on special teams that turned out to be costly. Ohio State punted from its own 27, but Brad Bars was called for holding, giving the Buckeyes an automatic first down at the 37. OSU got its running game going on the series, and Braxton Miller busted loose for a 33-yard gain to set up first-and-goal at the 6. It took Carlos Hyde three tries to get in, which he did from a yard out on third down with 34 seconds to go in the half.
Ohio State 14, Penn State 7: The half got off to a bad start as Bill Belton fumbled the kickoff, leaving PSU to start at its own 11. McGloin was sacked for a 9-yard loss on second down by linebacker Ryan Shazier, and on the next play, Shazier read McGloin perfectly for an interception and returned it 17 yards for a TD with 13:41 left in the quarter.
Ohio State 14, Penn State 10: A 20-yard pass from McGloin to Jesse James and a holding call on defensive back Bradley Roby moved the Lions to the Buckeye 47. McGloin then found a wide-open Alex Kenney, whose catch and run produced a 42-yard gain to set up first-and-goal at the 4. A holding call on Ty Howle on second down made the drive stall, and Sam Ficken made a 27-yard field goal with 9:50 left in the quarter.
Ohio State 21, Penn State 10: O'Brien tried a fake punt on fourth-and-9 from the Buckeye 43, but punter Alex Butterworth's pass couldn't be pulled down by Derek Day. Ohio State took over, and it was the Miller show as he led a TD drive with his arm and, most impressively, his feet. Miller had a pair of 13-yard passes, the second one to Evan Spencer to set up first-and-goal at the 9. On third down from the 1, Miller faked a handoff, avoided pressure and had a highlight-reel play as he dove into the end zone with 3:30 to go in the quarter.
Ohio State 28, Penn State 10: The Buckeyes' offense dominated on an 85-yard TD drive that took only 2:15. A face mask penalty helped, but everything else came on the ground as Ohio State's line opened up big holes. Rod Smith had a 28-yard run to the PSU 25, and after going for 14 yards, Miller later scored a 1-yard TD with 40 seconds left in the quarter.
Ohio State 28, Penn State 16: The Lions went to the air almost exclusively on an 80-yard scoring drive, which culminated with a 2-yard TD pass from McGloin to tight end Matt Lehman with 9:49 to go. Surprisingly, O'Brien decided to go for a two-point conversion -- even though it wasn't exactly called for that early -- and Bill Belton was stopped.
Ohio State 35, Penn State 16: Miller found Jake Stoneburner down the seam, and he turned it into a 72-yard TD with 6:11 left.
Ohio State 35, Penn State 23: McGloin found tight end Kyle Carter for a 20-yard score with 1:41 remaining.

This is a news story from the Sept. 26, 2006 Tomahawk Leader, but we feel it is worthy of public comment:
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department is investigating after the family of a Merrill solider killed while serving in Iraq reported a theft Sunday afternoon.
Family members of PFC Grant Dampier held a fund raiser Saturday at Rock Island Resort on State Road 107 in the town of Merrill. The goal of the event was to raise funds to establish a war memorial in a Merrill city park.
When the Dampier family returned to Rock Island Sunday morning, they found numerous items had been stolen from an outside tent, that included food, cups, plates and raffle prizes which were not immediately claimed. The loss is more than $400.
Also stolen was a four-foot-by-six-foot banner that was made by the Budweiser Corp. with Dampier's picture and the words, "Remembering SPC Grant Dampier."
Anyone with information regarding the crime is encouraged to call the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department at 536-6272 or Crime Stoppers of Lincoln County at 536-3726 or 1-800-222-TIPS.

Background: RRMM patients (pts) who have exhausted treatment (Tx) with bortezomib (BORT) and lenalidomide (LEN) or thalidomide have a poor prognosis with short overall survival (OS). HiDEX is a well-established standard Tx in RRMM. POM has demonstrated clinical efficacy in pts refractory to LEN and BORT. MM-003 compared POM + LoDEX vs. HiDEX in RRMM pts who failed LEN and BORT and who progressed on their last Tx.
Methods: Pts must have been refractory to last prior Tx (progressive disease [PD] during Tx or within 60 days) and failed LEN and BORT after ≥ 2 consecutive cycles of each (alone or in combination). Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive 28-day cycles of POM 4 mg D1–21 + DEX 40 mg (20 mg for pts aged > 75 y) weekly or DEX 40 mg (20 mg for pts aged > 75 y) D1–4, 9–12, and 17–20. Tx continued until PD or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included OS, overall response rate (ORR; ≥ partial response), and safety. Analyses were based on intent to treat. Results: 455 pts were randomized to POM + LoDEX (n = 302) or HiDEX (n = 153). The median number of prior Tx was 5 (range 1-17). 72% were refractory to LEN and BORT. Median follow-up was 4 months. POM + LoDEX significantly extended median PFS (3.6 vs. 1.8 months, HR = 0.45, P < .001) and OS (not reached vs. 7.8 months, HR = 0.53, P < .001) vs. HiDEX. The OS benefit was observed despite 29% of HiDEX pts receiving POM after PD. The trial met the primary endpoint of PFS, crossed the upper boundary for OS superiority, and the Data Monitoring Committee recommended crossover from HiDEX to POM ± DEX. With updated data, the ORR was 21% for POM + LoDEX vs. 3% for HiDEX (P < .001) and 24% vs 3% for pts randomized ≥ 6 months post-enrollment (P < .001). The most frequent grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) for POM + LoDEX vs. HiDEX were neutropenia (42% vs. 15%), anemia (27% vs. 29%), and infection (24% vs. 23%). Discontinuation due to AEs was infrequent (7% vs. 6%). Updated data will be presented.
Conclusions: POM + LoDEX significantly extended PFS and OS vs. HiDEX in pts who failed LEN and BORT. POM + LoDEX should become a standard of care in RRMM pts who have exhausted Tx with LEN and BORT.

5 Types of People Who Ruin Every Story
#2. The Interrupter
Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images
These next two work together, and they both have exceptions, but let's start with the Interrupter. In his simplest form, the Interrupter is merely rude. He cuts you off or changes topic just because he's a self-centered douche who hasn't been properly socialized. I don't have a lot to say about that kind of Interrupter.
Technologies/AbleStock.com//Getty Images
"You don't? Good. That gives me more time to talk about me!"
But there is another kind of Interrupter who's a lot harder to define. He's the clarifying kind of Interrupter. There's a good chance he is paying attention -- even actively listening. He's not interrupting so much as clarifying. See, he wants to make sure he gets every vital detail so that when you get to the big finish of your story, he gets it. I can appreciate that. Sometimes, I'm even the Clarifier, because I don't want that whole story to get told with no payoff. And sometimes, especially if you're dealing with a weak storyteller, the Clarifier can be helpful for all. For example, someone might be telling a story about how some woman in a crowd was describing the shape of the birthmark on his ass without ever first explaining to his audience that he went to the Thanksgiving Day Parade without wearing pants.
But more often than not, the Clarifier is asking for clarification on worthless points that are completely irrelevant to the story.
Your Story: Did I ever tell you guys about that time I got a Mercedes-Benz for free? Oh, man, you won't believe it. OK, so I was in Bethesda, Maryland, to visit my aunt, and-
The Clarifier: Wait. Father's sister or mother's sister? Or by marriage?
Your Story: What? Oh, father's sister, I guess. Anyway, I got lost on my way, so I drove my shitty 1988 Honda Accord into this dealership just to get directions, and-
The Clarifier: Was it an automatic or a shift? I just want to make sure I follow ...
Your Story: Automatic. It's not important. Anyway, this salesman takes a liking to it. He apparently has been restoring a 1988 Honda in his spare time, part by part, because, and I shit you not, that's the car he lost his virginity in, and so he says-
The Clarifier: In Maryland?
Your Story: Yes! Who cares?
The Clarifier: Sorry, go on ...
Your Story: Nothing. He just gave me a car in a straight trade and blah blah whatever. I have to go fuck your mom now. Your mom in Chicago. I'm going to use Trojan condoms with spermicidal lubricant. I'm going to take American Airlines to get there and probably sit in business class. She'll reach orgasm in four minutes and nine seconds. OK? OK?!
#1. The Not Getting It
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
Some people don't get stuff. It happens. Not everyone is as gifted as the average Cracked reader. That's just the deal, and you can't get too upset about the intellectually flawed. Let them go watch YouTube vids and be on their way. But there is a specific kind of Not Getting It guy who's particularly infuriating, and that's the guy who doesn't get stuff because he makes assumptions. So yeah, the Clarifier above is a drag, but for people who really enjoy telling a good story with a big finish, the Assumer is a bigger killer.
He'll sit there with a dim smile, making good eye contact and nodding at all the appropriate moments, assuming all sorts of details and conditions incorrectly. He's failing to appreciate all the setups to your story. Your dramatic finish will end in disaster as he looks up and goes "huh."
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
Pictured above: A man moments before being beaten to death by a storyteller.
I was going to do a little dialogue to illustrate this point as well, but I can't. The Assumer doesn't say anything except "huh" when your story's over. But what I can do is give you a peek into the Assumer's mind while he's hearing a story.
Thoughts of the Assumer: OK, so this guy's telling a story about Chicken McNuggets. I don't know what that is because I was raised by vegans on a commune in Portland. I'll just assume it's a kind of swimsuit. Oh, now he's talking about dipping sauce. OK. That makes sense. People in swimsuits take a dip. I guess they call public pools "sauce" in this part of New York. OK. So far so good. I'll keep nodding. Super size? I don't know what that means, but I'll assume it's not an important part of the story. Oh, he's done? I don't get it. Why is he complaining about getting hamburgers at a public pool?

A Duty to the Dead LP: A Bess Crawford Mystery (Large Print / Paperback, Large Print)
September 2009 Indie Next List
"A Duty to the Dead introduces Bess Crawford, a strong-willed young woman in the nursing corps during WWI. To fulfill a promise made to the charismatic dying soldier she fell in love with, Bess will have to uncover family secrets and a web of deception spanning years. Bess Crawford is a character I look forward to spending more time with."
— Joni Montover, Paragraphs on Padre Boulevard, South Padre Island, TX
The daughter of a distinguished soldier, Bess Crawford follows in his footsteps and signs up to go overseas as a nurse during the Great War, helping to deal with the many wounded. There, serving on a hospital ship, she makes a promise to a dying young lieutenant to take a message to his brother, Jonathan Graham: "Tell Jonathan that I lied. I did it for Mother's sake. But it has to be set right." Later, when her ship is sunk by a mine and she's sidelined by a broken arm, Bess returns home to England, determined to fulfill her promise.
It's not so easy, however. She travels to the village in Kent where the Grahams live and passes on to Jonathan his brother's plea. Oddly, neither Jonathan, his mother, nor his younger brother admit to knowing what the message means. Then Bess learns that there's another brother, incarcerated in a lunatic asylum since the age of 14 when he was accused of brutally murdering a housemaid.
Bess rightly guesses that the dying soldier's last words had something to do with the fourth brother. Because the family seems unwilling to do anything, she decides that she will investigate. It's her own duty to the dead.

, updated June 15, 2013 at 10:14 AM
NIAGARA FALLS – The visitors were as impressed as the politicians Friday, as some $5 million worth of improvements in Niagara Falls State Park officially opened.
The work improves access to Luna Island, which separates the American Falls from the Bridal Veil Falls; the Three Sisters Islands in the waterway itself; and the passage to the Cave of the Winds.
"It's beautiful. I think the Americans did a good job. They built the railings right up close to the edge of the water," said Tony Rodrigo of Toronto, who was making his first visit to the U.S. side.
That's exactly the point, according to Kathryn Wolf, the Ithaca landscape architect who designed most of the work.
She said it was an effort to emphasize the main strength of the American side of the falls – access to the water.
"Everybody talks about the view from Canada, but there's no place on the Canadian side where you can have this kind of visceral experience," Wolf said.
On the Three Sisters Islands – small specks of land in the rapids just above the falls – plenty of brush was removed to make the churning water more visible. That was the biggest hit on Friday's tour.
"I never thought I'd say it, but I love it," Falls historian Paul Gromosiak told reporters on the Third Sister. "They have preserved what they need to preserve. It's much easier for senior citizens and people with mobility issues, and the third island is a lot safer. They chose all the best views."
"You will see incredible water you couldn't see before. That's what people come here to see, the water," said Mark Thomas, Western District State Parks director.
"This is wonderful. They pulled a lot of stuff out," said Mary Johns of Troy, Mich., an annual visitor to the Falls, who walks with a cane. "I did come down the steps, but there is a ramp. Really gradual," she said.
The new railings are based on the original designs of 19th century landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
"Safety-wise, I think it's absolutely huge," Morreale said of the work.
The islands feature wider slate walkways. Also, efforts have been made to replace invasive plant species with native plants. The plantings were put in during the past few weeks and the results won't be fully apparent for two or three years, officials said.
Thomas Herrera-Mishler, president of Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, gave his stamp of approval to the work.
"It is a good balance between the Olmsted principles of creating a naturalistic experience while at the same time accommodating 8 million visitors a year," he said.
State Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey said Olmsted designed the park to accommodate 200,000 visitors a year.
"It is a little tired. It's been loved. And it was a little shabby," Harvey said.
Shabby might have been a nice word for the passage from the elevators to the Cave of the Winds. "It kind of had the feel of a dirty basement," tour guide Frank Accardo said.
Harvey said the new ceiling panels are designed so the condensation runs down the walls instead of dripping on the heads of the visitors.
Ground also was broken for $4.3 million worth of improvements at Prospect Point, the main viewing spot on the mainland. The landscape restoration and rerouting of the park's trolley path to enhance pedestrian safety will be done in phases through 2015.
The funding for the work came from the New York Power Authority, which by terms of the renewed license to operate the Niagara Power Project, must pay $9 million a year toward the Niagara River Greenway and local state parks improvements.

You're not defending the action but justifying why he did what he did. There's no justification for it, was more my point with what you've been saying.
I completely agree I think Orpik got hurt because he wasn't prepared for it not unlike a blindside hit that's what's so dangerous about what Thornton did. But let's also through Neal in there, his knee was the definition of intent to injure, he just got lucky that Marchand wasn't carted off the ice too.

The cameraman who filmed Steve Irwin's death eight years ago has come forward about the adventurer's final moments.
"We're saying to him things like, 'Think of your kids, Steve, hang on, hang on, hang on,'" Justin Lyons told Australian morning show Studio 10 on Sunday. "And he just sort of calmly looked up at me and said, 'I'm dying,' and that was the last thing he said."
Irwin, beloved host of Animal Planet's The Crocodile Hunter, was killed in September 2006 by a stingray while shooting a documentary off the coast of Australia. He was 44.
Now, the friend Irwin called his "right-hand man" is speaking out about the tragedy for the first time, disputing earlier reports that Irwin may have goaded the typically calm stingray. As Lyons prepared to film the creature swimming away from Irwin, it attacked.
"All of a sudden it propped on its front and started stabbing wildly with its tail, hundreds of strikes in a few seconds," he said. "It probably thought that Steve's shadow was a tiger shark, which feeds on them very regularly. … I panned with the camera as the stingray swam away, I didn't even know it had caused any damage. It wasn't until I panned the camera back, that Steve was standing in a huge pool of blood, that I realized something had gone wrong."
Lyons, who pulled Irwin from the water and performed CPR, gave a grisly description of his diving partner's injuries, calling claims that the barb on the stingray's tail had stuck in Irwin's chest incorrect.
"It didn't come out. Steve didn't pull it out. It's a jagged, sharp barb and it went through his chest like a hot knife through butter. He thought it had punctured his lung," Lyons said. "He had about a two-inch-wide injury over his heart with blood and fluid coming out of it."
Lyons said he does not know where his footage of the accident is, but he hopes it will remain unseen. Irwin's wife Terri previously told Access Hollywood all video had been destroyed.
As for the irony that a normally docile stingray took out the man who wrestled crocodiles, Lyons recalled thinking that only an unexpected species could harm the great wildlife advocate.
"It was probably always going to be something weird with Steve. I mean, a crocodile or a shark, he was so good with animals, nothing was going to get him," he said. "We thought he was going to live forever, but it would always be a crazy silly accident, and as it turns out that's exactly what it was."

TRUCKEE, Calif. — While Truckee resident Michael Rogers originally filed papers in March to run for the soon-to-be-open Seat No. 5 on the Nevada County Board of Supervisors, he withdrew from the race in April, leaving resident and current Truckee Town Councilman Richard Anderson as the sole candidate.The following Q-and-A with Anderson were first published in The Union, the Sierra Sun's sister paper serving the western portion of Nevada County.Why are you running for this seat in 2012?I am running for District 5 Supervisor so that Truckee and our unincorporated neighbors will retain effective representation at the Nevada County Board of Supervisors. My goals are threefold: 1) protect the natural, historical, and scenic resources that form the foundation of our economy, 2) improve our lives through growth in employment opportunities and through the cost-effective provision of County services, and 3) ensure County government listens to the public and operates in a manner that is collaborative, transparent, ethical, and fair.How does your background and experience make you a strong candidate for this seat?My more than seven years of service on Truckee's Town Council has given me invaluable experience in working collaboratively and effectively to advance the public's interests, in making the tradeoffs necessary to balance governmental budgets (and balance, too, the competing interests that are embodied within them), in trying to ensure that the concerns of all stakeholders are heard, and in making votes the might prove unpopular. I also have a background in land-use planning and real estate economics, and, having worked for a contractor and for a county, I understand both the importance of local government and its dysfunctions.What do you see as the top issue in this race?Of highest priority is the continuing effect of the economic recession on business activity and job formation, which has depressed local employment opportunities in both the private and public sectors and has also caused the value of retirement investments to fall, jeopardizing the long-term financial security of many households. These problems in turn lead to stress as families and individuals try to cope with loss of income, loss of homes, and loss of dignity and confidence, and this stress increases demand for County-provided social services at a time when public revenue has yet to recover to pre-recession levels.As a County supervisor, how would you help spur economic growth in both eastern and western Nevada County?I would work with my colleagues to identify and address impediments to local business formation, retention, and expansion; realistically evaluate the county's attributes that could attract businesses and entrepreneurs, then build upon our strengths (these vary between east county and west county); examine the experience of other jurisdictions for lessons we might apply; and develop a framework, like "Truckee Tomorrow," that brings governmental representatives and businesspeople together to achieve mutual goals for improving business opportunity and success. That said, a fundamental approach to spurring economic growth is to implement programs and projects that enhance our quality of life.What should be done to foster cooperative relationships between the county and the three municipalities?Although steps have already been taken to foster cooperation between the county and the cities (examples include city-manager/ mayor breakfasts and joint county/ cities meetings that focus on issues of mutual concern), collaboration between electeds can always be improved. Perhaps the most useful steps would be for each council member and supervisor to try to understand the other's perspective and to follow a "no surprises" ethic that helps ensure we do not work at cross purposes to each other. A little humility can go a long way in establishing productive relationships and advancing the common interests of the public we serve.
