Tremlett back from injury
Follow the Friends Life t20 on ecb.co.uk - click here for exclusive interviews and videos, live scores, match reports, photo galleries and much more
England and Surrey fast bowler Chris Tremlett could make his competitive return from almost five months out with a back injury in this evening's Friends Life t20 South Group game against Middlesex at Lord's.
Tremlett's last competitive appearance was in January's first Test versus Pakistan at Dubai. A week after that match he was ruled out of the tour by a recurrence of a lower back injury and underwent surgery in February.
The 30-year-old has stepped up his comeback in three Twenty20s for Surrey 2nd XI this month and may replace Jade Dernbach, who has joined England's NatWest Series squad at the Ageas Bowl.
Batsman Tom Maynard is included in Surrey's party after recovering from a shoulder injury that ruled him out of yesterday's victory over Essex at the Kia Oval.
Dernbach's England team-mates Eoin Morgan and Steven Finn are unavailable to Middlesex.
The hosts are also missing seamer Robbie Williams, who suffered a broken collarbone in yesterday's defeat to West Indies at Lord's.
The Panthers have only one overseas player, Australian Chris Rogers, after Sri Lanka paceman Lasith Malinga pulled out of a move to Lord's for the competition due to fatigue.
Despite losing one of the world's leading bowlers, managing director of cricket Angus Fraser told Middlesex's website: "I still expect us to be competitive in our group.
"The tournament will give myself and my coaches a better idea of what some of our players are capable of and how they handle playing in front of good crowds."
Lancashire are missing Ajmal Shahzad for their North Group opener with hosts Derbyshire at the County Ground.
The England seam bowling all-rounder, who is on loan from Yorkshire for the rest of the season, has a mild stomach strain and will undergo a fitness test prior to tomorrow's game with Leicestershire. Paceman James Anderson, part of the England squad, is unavailable for both matches.
Shahzad's absence is offset by the return from injury of another all-rounder, Tom Smith, who has recovered from a hamstring problem. He is set to feature alongside Pakistan's Yasir Arafat, who will make his Lancashire debut.
Derbyshire have overseas duo Rana Naved-ul-Hasan and Usman Khawaja available.
Khawaja has replaced Martin Guptill - who has joined up with New Zealand ahead of their tour of West Indies - as the county's main overseas player, while Rana is available only in the shortest format.
Northamptonshire will have Cameron White at their disposal against the Welsh Dragons at Wantage Road in the Midlands/Wales/West Group.
The Australian is one of several high-profile overseas stars participating in this year's competition and will be aiming to build on a solid showing in the Indian Premier League.
Northants can call on captain Andrew Hall, an all-rounder, and spinner Con de Lange, who has recovered from a back injury. Rob Newton is set to return at the top of the order.
The Dragons are set to include overseas pair Shaun Marsh and Marcus North under the captaincy of fellow Australian Jim Allenby.
Returning to the South Group, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is line for his Hampshire bow against Sussex while Neil McKenzie, back for a third spell, will be available at the PROBIZ County Ground.
Sussex have named an unchanged squad from Tuesday's washout with Kent at Canterbury, meaning they are again minus England Test wicketkeeper Matt Prior. Overseas signings Juan Theron and Scott Styris are set to make their Sharks FLt20 debuts.
Jos Buttler will keep wicket for Somerset against Gloucestershire at Bristol after Craig Kieswetter went on England duty.
Kieswetter played in yesterday's defeat of Warwickshire at Taunton and will be replaced by one of James Hildreth, Craig Meschede or Arul Suppiah. Somerset skipper Marcus Trescothick is still recovering from an ankle operation.
Legendary spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is set to feature, having rejoined Gloucestershire for a second successive FLt20 campaign. Hamish Marshall, who was this week made captain for the competition, will lead the Gladiators.

Prosecutor: Sheriff not using task force
Robert Herron says Ray Stone reluctant to use Homicide Task Force, action poses detriment to investigations
September 29, 2013
LISBON — Columbiana County Prosecutor Robert Herron has accused the sheriff of being reluctant to use the new Homicide Task Force, which he said could possibly hamper homicide investigations while......
Yes, each member volunteers their time and Detective Talbert DID call in the HTF and was told (by Sheriff Stone) he didn't need them. That is what prompted this argument.

"I believe I said that. Patti, Detective Dave Talbert didn't call the Sheriff and have him call Lisbon, etc.."
Alright, let's assume that is true. Det. Talbert made a judgement call. He apparently didn't need the task force. So why would that be a problem? His jurisdiction, he's the lead detective, his call.
"bi-laws and contract" So the question I have is this. They are members of each jurisdiction that volunteers their time?
I would love to see that contract.

I believe I said that. Patti, Detective Dave Talbert didn't call the Sheriff and have him call Lisbon, etc.. The way the task force is set up, if there is a homicide, they call in to the call center, which right now is the Sheriff's dept. The call center then is suppose to notify everyone on the task force where and details. It is voluntary so there is NO cost to the taxpayers or anyone else. There are always going to be instances when someone can't go. But, the whole idea is that they show up and do what they can. I know this is the way it works because I wrote the bi-laws and contract. The Sheriff doesn't have the authority to decide NOT to call in the HTF. He isn't in charge, he is simply another player.

Patti, I agree the HTF should be dispatched to every homicide in the county. I am not an expert on this but I believe when it was set up the police authority that the homicide occurred in was responsible for letting the HTF know. Why it is important to call the HTF in is because those people are trained in what to look for. Barney Fifes are not usually real good at murder investigations. In fact they may even destroy evidence that they don't even know is evidence. The HTF is a good thing and should be utilized fully on every homicide.

"The HTF should be dispatched on EVERY scene."
As shocked as I am over the fact they had to have a mutual agreement to begin with is disturbing enough in itself, but, why would they agree to something like that? That would be irresponsible to roll out that type of manpower at the expense of the tax payers. Surely that can't be correct?
I know that everybody believes that more the merrier can lead to solving a homicide but sometimes it can be detrimental to a homicide investigation. Defense attorneys, no disrespect intended here, but they can benefit from an overkill.
Maybe I am confused on this but why would for example...Detective Talbert have to call the Sheriff's Department to have the Sheriff's department call Lisbon to send the HTF member to come into Salem even with a mutual aide agreement?

Well if they used the homicide task force they may actually solve a homicide, and they don't want to ruin their prefect score.
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The job of the prosecutor is to prosecute based on the evidence that is presented to him by law enforcement. He decides if there is sufficient evidence to bring charges. Without sufficient evidence he can not bring charges. So investigation of crimes by law enforcement is very important to getting convictions. Unless crimes can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt the person arrested is probably going to get off. Anyone ever heard of the law that you can not be tried twice for the same crime? So to bring charges and then not have sufficient evidence to make it stick, that person gets off and you can't keep hauling them into court on the same charge. They have to get it right the first time. That is why getting sufficient evidence is vital.

Last comment meaning that I am SURE there are politics involved by both but it has no place using the HTF as an outlet for it. There are victims here and families that deserve justice not babble between the powers that be...a contract has been signed and they should all honor it!
2 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The HTF should be dispatched on EVERY scene. That is what they agreed to when they signed their agreement to join. The entire team is contacted and the Chief who has the jurisdiction then decides who he needs to stay. No police department should have to ask and be turned down. The Sheriff is not in charge of this. He volunteered to have the dispatching done from his office. If any of this is politically motivated, it has no business here.

Looks like Mr. Wheel and deal, notch in my belt, YOU need to shut up and BACK OFF. The public has had enough of this rhetoric. YOU need to stop interfering in law enforcement. The only person that is overstepping their authority...IS YOU HERRON. It is so obvious it stinks. Haven't you created enough divide? This is not your one man show to CONTROL!
You dragged Det. Talbert in to the middle of this? Publicly? You have got to be kidding me? That was nothing more than you acting like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum. If I was JT, I would be on the on the phone slapping you up side your head for dragging one of his detectives into your political game. That is so uncalled for.
You kicked that letter out to all the agency heads? I'm surprised not everyone of the agency heads didn't kick that letter back to you in big bold red letters tell you to BUTT OUT.

NIAGARA FALLS – The Maid of the Mist will keep its American boat tours afloat after all.
But there may be more good news for Niagara Falls about things to come: zip lines, horseback riding, rock climbing and yet another plan to revitalize downtown.
Those were the highlights of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's whirlwind visit Tuesday to the Cataract City in which he envisioned a plan that could change the idea of Niagara Falls tourism for years to come, offering an alternative for the version offered on the Canadian side of the border.
"Niagara Falls is a jewel – a jewel that we haven't invested in, that we haven't given the time and attention that it deserves," Cuomo said in a news conference near the falls. "But it has phenomenal potential not just for the region, but for the entire state."
Leaders believe the first step toward that goal was securing the future of the area's world-renowned attraction, the Maid of the Mist.
The agreement between Cuomo's administration and the Maid of the Mist calls for the company to pay for $32 million in upgrades near the site of the former Schoellkopf power plant to turn the area into a winter storage dock for its two-boat American fleet.
The company also will triple its annual rent payments to the state parks office, which are now expected to total $105 million over the 30 years remaining on the contract.
The Glynn family of Lewiston, which has owned the tours since 1971, was more than happy to pay.
"Gov. Cuomo has saved the Maid of the Mist," President Christopher M. Glynn said. "She was in trouble, but he saved her. We are profoundly thankful that he was there when it counted."
The company will lose its Canadian boat tour and storage facility in 2014, when Hornblower Cruises of California takes over operations on the Canadian shore. Construction on the American docks would presumably need to be completed by then.
Officials said construction at the Schoellkopf site would also include enhanced access for hiking trails, a new elevator, a public observation deck and the potential for rock-climbing and rappelling on the face of the gorge.
They added that the new deal would increase profits for Niagara Falls State Park, although it remains unclear exactly how much of the money will be used at the park and for what purposes.
"It's a win-win-win all around," Cuomo said. "For the Maid of the Mist, for the city and for the tourism industry."
The only loser appeared to be Hornblower Cruises, which was hoping for an opportunity to bid on the new boat storage facility so that it could run tours on both sides of the falls.
Hornblower officials reasoned that if the Maid had a chance to win approval for new construction on public property, it should also have a fair and equal chance to bid, as it did last year in Canada.
They pointed to the help of a high-powered lobbying firm the Maid hired to plead its case in Albany. Cuomo brushed aside those concerns Tuesday, saying the Maid's future was a "special circumstance."
"We value the Maid of the Mist, we wanted to keep the Maid of the Mist here, we had a parcel we believed we could be better utilizing for the state and for tourism, and we put the two together," he said.
Earlier in the day, local officials told Cuomo they believe making better use of the region's tourism assets should be a key strategy for the $1 billion in state aid pledged to help revitalize the Buffalo Niagara region. That plan now includes an initiative called the "Downtown Niagara Falls Challenge," which aims to jump-start development in blighted areas downtown.
The state will invest in a plan to select a team of designers, developers and tourism operators to develop "signature" parcels near the entrance to the city from Canada and in surrounding properties.
The state will fund the cost of the competition, parcel acquisition and a development subsidy.
Niagara Falls State Park also would see a dramatic program change with a plan to mesh current offerings with the growing eco-tourism sector. Site improvements would include the addition of bicycling, fishing, horseback riding, zip-lining, rock climbing, cross-country skiing and heritage-based tours.
A more coordinated marketing strategy between Buffalo and Niagara Falls is also a high priority in the plan, though it was unclear when those programs would begin.

A lot of people who are suffering from back problems seek chiropractic treatment. In fact, last year over 20 million people in America visited the top rated chiropractors for pain management solutions.
Chiropractors specifically target back pain by manipulating the musculoskeletal structure and ensuring proper aliment of discs in the spine.
The best chiropractic treatments can help to ensure that the body heals properly, and that mobility is restored, without the need for medication or surgery.
When you first visit a chiropractic's office, a full medical history will be taken and a physical examination will be carried out in order to determine the best course of treatment for your back pain.
It is important to note that chiropractic treatments are sometimes used alongside conventional medical treatments in order to provide patients with the most effective pain relief from muscle, bone, connective tissue and joint pain.
Many chiropractors will also include tailored fitness regimens and nutritional counseling into a patient's treatment plan. In addition to back pain, many studies have should that chiropractic treatments can also help to effectively reduce headaches and neck pain.
There are many benefits to visiting a chiropractor if you are suffering from back pain. Chiropractor treatments rarely have any unwanted side effects and results can be fast.
What's more, due to the growing popularity of people hiring chiropractors for pain management, the cost of chiropractic treatments has become more affordable. Many chiropractic treatments are also covered by health insurance plans.
Before you book a consultation with a chiropractor, it is important to make sure that you choose a reputable professional.
Reading online reviews from previous patients can help you to find the best chiropractors in your local area. That said, it is important to keep in mind that not all reviews published online are genuine.

We appreciate Dr Dong and colleagues' interest in our recent article.1 As they may know, it would be difficult to complete a household-based survey in such a rural Chinese community without the local village leader's help. Using mail and telephone to contact the target population is unrealistic because many elderly are illiterate, and few will have an available telephone. The elderly are likely to refuse to collaborate with "strangers" (taking the interviewers as intruders) without the locally known person's introduction. Thus, one of the village leaders, mostly a young or middle-aged woman responsible for planning reproduction in the local community, led each of the interviewers to the houses of the elderly persons. After briefly introducing the interviewer to an eligible person, the village leader then left to take another interviewer to the house of the next elderly interviewee. The interviewer explained the aims and methods of the study—including investigating other diseases (eg, cardiovascular) and taking physical and blood pressure measurements. We consider that the breadth of investigation actually encouraged our older sample to participate. There were no financial incentives.

18. KitzAlpBike Festival & MTB Marathon WMJun 26, 2013 :: For the 18th Time, the scene of the Mountain Festival in the mountains near Kitzbuehel, is KitzAlpBike. Experience MTB marathons, hill climbs, fashion shows and much more. This Austria-wide leading bike event is from 26.06. to 07.07.2013 and all about mountain biking.
Kitzbuehel is also this year in the middle of the action. The sporting highlight of the week is, as always, the internationally entered Marathon with the classic 88 + distance on Saturday: 88 kilometers and 3,800 metres of altitude, steep ascents and tight single trails the bikers must conquer on this challenging round, which will separate the shaff from the wheat. The traditional route is on the famous Hahnenkamm ski mountain, next to the famous mousetrap (Mausefalle).
For those who are not inclined to go to go to such extremes, there are two alternatives: The light distance of 24 km and altitude of 800 meters as a "gateway drug" for newcomers as well as the average round of 45 km up to 2000 metres altitude, are not to be underestimated and only for experienced mountain bikers.
Bike Fashion Show & a Trial Night in Kitzbuehel
As in recent years and again next year, Bike Fashion Show & Trial Night will be held on Friday in the centre of Kitzbuehel. Look at the latest professional models and the modern trends in bicycle clothing. In addition, music, interviews and conversation with moderator Luke Schweighofer followed by a breathtaking mountain bike stunt show by the famous Tyrolean MTB artists Tom Öhler.
KitzAlpBike has become in recent years one of the major mountain bike events in Austria. The event has grown steadily over the years and provides program for more than a week. Each target group within the mountain bikers are offered different challenges: From Wednesday to Sunday are hill climbs, City Cross, children competitions and a great bike and fashion show at the program.

Comments Thread For: Mayweather on The Future, SHO, Guerrero, Jabs Top Rank
WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26KOs) discussed several topics during an interview with Showtime. Mayweather recently walked away from HBO and signed a lucrative six fight deal with network rival Showtime. Mayweather will debut on Showtime on May 4th against Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
On The Showtime Deal
Mayweather: I'm ready to go out there and perform and I want to show the the fans that I still have a lot left. I want to stay active. I haven't really been active. I want to continue to go out there and dominate. And continue to take my skills to the next level and show the world that Floyd Mayweather is still the best and go down as the best fight who ever lived. That has always been the ultimate goal. I always came into this sport to bet the best, so why not push myself to the ultimate level and test myself against these young hungry lions out there. Robert Guerrero is a young, hungry lion. He had done something thus far to get to the point, so we're going to see what he has. I'm very happy to be with my new family.

Floyd's a funny guy lol.. First of all even if Pac got the decision he should have against Bradley and beat Marquez I doubt Floyd would have been seriously trying to make that fight happen. Second of all Pac really doesn't have to get past anybody in order for him get a Floyd fight, Pac is still still the second highest draw in all of boxing and Floyd vs Pac is still the biggest money fight that can be made. And he just said he doesn't want to put any money in Top Rank or Bob Arum's pocket so that should tell anyone with a brain all they need to know about how bad he really wants to make a Pac fight happen.. I'm sure Arum feels the same though so it's not entirely Floyd's fault. Just pointing out the obvious nonsense that Floyd is speaking.

So, if Pacquiao agrees to OST, agrees with NO PPV revenue, agrees with 70-30 split... still the fight wont be made cuz he needs to get past Bradley and Marquez.
But, guys like Victor Ortiz and Robert Guerrero just have to beat a bum Andre Berto.
Here you got it. Floyd's 2013 brand new excuse.

So it's obvious you always have an excuse for Mayweather not fighting Pacquiao. Why don't you use the same logic when he fights a guy like Guerrero? Hypocrites.

Damn Floyd! This list is getting long!
-Must test with a 14 day cutoff
-Must test with no cutoff
-Cant do business with Bob Arum
-Must take a flat fee with no ppv profits for you
-Manny Pacquiao is desperate (this is when Pac offered to take less $)
-My health is more important
-I'm a coward but I'm a rich coward
-How does Pacquiao just walk thru guys like Cotto and Shane
-Must beat a guy you already beat (Bradley) and beat JMM
-My career isnt defined by 1 fight against Pacquaio
-I beat the guy who beat Pac with ease
-I dont want to give any money to Top Rank

This fight has sailed! Get used to it! Pac got KTFO and the dream is over. Arum let it marinate to long.
Plus if Canelo and Floyd both win then a possible Sept matchup will make more than Pac fight right now i think

Elkins High School students were met this morning by counselors and support services to help them cope with the loss of classmate Brianna Keefer. Brianna, a 14-year-old freshman at Elkins High School, died Friday at her home.
"The administrative staff and guidance counselors met Sunday at Elkins High," said Interim Superintendent of Randolph County Schools Terry George. "Principal Dave Fincham began with a moment of silence in memory of Brianna, and students who knew Brianna had folks there to talk with, helping them deal with the grief of losing a friend and classmate."
George said the incident is a great tragedy, noting the school system lost two students during the past year. Dustin "Dusty" White died Oct. 26 following an altercation with another student outside Bulldog Field prior to the TVHS and Hundred football matchup.
"It is an unfortunate situation to lose a student that is so young," George said. "It will be hard to help students understand why Brianna made this decision. You search for answers, but they are not to be found anywhere. I am normally not at a loss for words, but this is too hard to fathom. This will be hard for her friends and a very difficult day for everyone."
George said there have been no reports or incidents that would indicate she was harassed or bullied.
Brianna's friend, 18-year old Kaleigh Figueroa, said they were very close.
"We went to school twice together, once for two years at a Christian school, and then for about a year at a different Christian school," Figueroa said. "Brianna was such a people person who liked to make people laugh. She was quite a jokester."
Figueroa said Brianna's death was a shock.
"This came out of nowhere," Figueroa said. "She showed no signs of sadness and never shed a tear. The only time I ever saw her upset was when she ran away for a short period of time in January 2012. Other than that, she was always happy and laughing."
Figueroa said Brianna loved fashion.
"She liked to have the coolest stuff and then liked when others noticed her clothes. She would always tell me she liked to text or call her friends. And when she saw her friends, she would always run up to them and make them smile and laugh. She was always happy and bubbly."
So far, two fundraisers are being planned to help the Keefers with funeral expenses. At 6 p.m. Friday, the Tygart Valley Ministries, located at 33 Main St. in Beverly, is sponsoring a cakewalk and event to help with expenses. Pastor Curlie Ray said Brianna attended the Tygart Valley Ministries and Christian Academy school for part of a year.
"Brianna was a good little girl," Ray said. "Her death has broken our hearts. She and her family are good people and it's a tragedy. I have known her mother Rosie since we were in school."
A Facebook page titled "Benefit for the Keefers" states the Rivers of Living Water Ministry, located at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Main Street, is sponsoring a benefit from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. April 27.
"The benefit is to help the Keefers with the funeral costs for the recent loss of a beautiful daughter, sister, aunt and friend," the page states.
The event will feature a Rock Worship Contemporary Concert with songs by Jesse Wanless and David Troastle, and also include drama, refreshments for sale and a cake walk.

Refresh Editor
Susannah Barton works in the Tri-Main Building in downtown Buffalo, an architectural gem with steel beams, colorful corridors and eclectic gallery, office and light manufacturing space.
But truth be told, Barton would rather be working outdoors, especially this time of year.
Barton, 34, is a former commercial banking specialist who landed a master's degree in urban planning at the University at Buffalo in late 2009 and became the first paid executive director of Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo, a nonprofit group that helps residents and neighborhood organizations operate nearly 70 community gardens across the city.
She lives in the Parkside neighborhood with her husband, Kevin. They grow tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, zucchini, squash and herbs in their home garden.
"We're going to be growing okra for the first time this year," said Barton, a Dallas native. "I'm really excited about that."
She and dozens of volunteers have spent recent weeks getting their hands dirty in raised box gardens in lots that will soon teem with flowers and vegetables. She took a break to answer a few questions during a recent workday while helping Mikey Vertino and other members of the University Heights Collaborative start a new project in a Tyler Street lot. Students from the nearby University at Buffalo South Campus also helped.
Q. Let's start with this particular project. Who owns it and what did it look like before you started?
A. This is a privately owned lot. There were mainly weeds and some grass. It looks onto this beautiful small park. The neighborhood has planted trees in the park, along the street as well, so … the neighborhood got together and approached the landlord and said, 'We're interested in starting a community garden. Can we have permission to use the land?' … They came to Grassroots Gardens, completed the application over the winter months and moved forward. This is one of four new community gardens for the 2013 season.
Q. Where are the other three?
A. One's on the grounds of Lafayette High School, one's in the MLK neighborhood on North Parade and one is in Riverside on Esser.
Q. Are the gardens all pretty much the same?
A. When they come to us, we ask them to give us an anticipated site plan and a design. We want to make sure that they've thought about where they want to place things, if they're growing vegetables or only want it to be a flower garden, things like where the sun hits. So every garden under our umbrella, they all look different, which is one of the things I think is so special about our organization. They're all a reflection of the host community.
Q. How did Grassroots Gardens form?
A. We were started in 1992 by a man named Milton Zeckhauser, who passed away about seven years ago. He saw some efforts going on in Philadelphia and said, 'Hey, we can do that in Buffalo.' So he started the leasing of space. We lease about 80 city lots from the City of Buffalo and we have about 29 private parcels as well. It's just kind of blossomed – pardon the pun – from there. We depend a great deal on donations and grants.
Q. What are some of the oldest gardens and what are some of the biggest?
A. One of the very oldest is a garden on the property of the food bank on Holt Street. The sponsoring organization for that is called Food for All. Most of our gardens are one or two parcels. We do have a few that are a little bit larger. There is a garden that we lease at City Honors on Best Street and that's actually four city lots. That one is an incredible garden."
Q. How much does a garden generally cost and where does the money come from?
A. In general, we put between $1,500 and $2,500 into a new garden. We are heavily grant funded and we do have membership as well as individual donors and we do fundraisers, as well. Unfortunately, Grassroots Gardens can't supply everything a garden needs. We wish we could, but we can't … so it's really a community effort.
Q. What are some of the things that you grow?
A. We do have some gardens that are completely flower and ornamental flower-based. We have some that only grow vegetables. The majority of our gardens are a combination.
Q. What happens to the vegetables?
A. The community consumes them. How depends on how they've decided at the beginning of the season to grow.
Q. If someone wants to learn more?
A. If you're interested in joining a community garden, you can go on our website, grassrootsgardens.org, and there's a map of all our gardens, and you can zoom in to get information, a little bio on each garden and contact information for our lead gardeners.

Obesity Overweight
Too much body fat, especially if most of it is around the waist, increases the risk of developing heart disease and stroke. For adults, the body mass index (BMI) is a number that is used to define who is obese. The BMI is calculated using a person's weight and height. Higher BMI may indicate higher risk for obesity-related disease.
Too much body fat increases the risk of heart disease because it increases how hard the heart has to work and increases the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. A proper diet and an exercise program should be continued throughout an adult's life. Diet and exercise are key to weight loss.

CALCUTTA - The right northbound lane of state Route 11 just north of the Route 170 overpass was closed for more than an hour on Sunday afternoon, as first responders worked to free a driver from the wreckage of a single-vehicle accident.
Detective Joseph Brophey of the St. Clair Police Department said Bryan Strauss, 40, of Tiltonsville was driving north in the left lane of Route 11 at approximately 3:30 p.m., when his 2008 Honda Accord drifted over the left yellow line towards the concrete center divider. Although the car did not contact the center divider, its tires did hit a patch of snow and ice at the foot of the divider.
According to Brophey, Strauss' attempt to correct course resulted in a loss of control. "As he steered right, the car started to rotate," Brophey said.

First-responders from Glenmoor and St. Clair volunteer fire departments worked to rescue Bryan Strauss of Tiltonsville from the wreckage of his car following a single-vehicle accident on state Route 11 on Sunday afternoon. The crash, which occurred a quarter-mile north of the Route 170 overpass, sent Strauss to the hospital with minor injuries. (Photo by Richard Sberna)
The car slid sideways into the right-side guardrail face, crumpling several yards of guardrail before striking an embankment, which flipped the car onto its roof in a roadside ditch. Brophey says Strauss was wearing his seat belt and was not seriously injured, but could not free himself from the wreckage.
The doors on one side of the car were badly smashed and blocked by trees on the other side. After removing one of the damaged doors, rescue crews from Glenmoor and St. Clair volunteer fire departments were able to safely remove Strauss from the car. He was transported by Lifeteam EMS to East Liverpool City Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and released.

She's a keeper!
by I love my MAXI,MA from Minnesota | February 14, 2009
The car was passed down to me at about 141,000 miles with one with a little tiny bit of rust and a window in the rear that would not roll down. It had been sitting for a year when I got it. I've had it about a year and a half or so and I love it. It's very comfortable, the suspension is good and the seats aren't stiff like newer cars. I have noticed a bit of peeling on the bumper, it looks like Nissan painted it and you can see the original black color of the bumper in some places, of course this is minor. I have not had any major problems, there was a leak in the brake line that was fixed. It's been very reliable. The turning radius is not as tight as I would want it, of course this is also minor. She was top of the line in her day and well made! It's funny if you look around, there are quite a few of this model still chuggin' away out there. She now has 153,000 and is going strong!! If she ever breaks down, Id be tempted to get another Maxima from the 1990-1994 period.

...And the Car Just Keeps on Going!
by Max Lover from Irvine, CA | February 12, 2009
I bought my 1990 Nissan Maxima used with 45,000 miles on it while living in Connecticut back in 1996. I use to take weekend trips back and forth between CT and Maryland and what a joy it was to drive. In 2000 I moved to Riverside, CA and had to do the "L.A. Commuter Shuffle" as it's known affectionately into Los Angeles on a daily basis which was 56 miles each way! I finally had to replace my transmission and my thermostat at 110,500 miles and the car just keeps running great! At 150,250 miles I had to replace the shocks and front power window motor on the driver's side. With regularly scheduled maintenance as recommended for milage (rotating the tires, radiator flush, hoses, plugs, and alternator belts changed), I'm on my 2nd transmission and the engine is still strong with over 265,500 miles. I just replaced the front speakers and put in a new receiver that allows me to play my Ipod. Word of advise, get the oil changed every 3,500 miles and use Penzoil! The stuff works great! Since purchase I've only run Premium Grade Gas to keep the filters and injectors running well. I still wash and wax it as if it were brand new & it shows. When I got married in 04', I bought a used 2001 Maxima and was going to let my brother have my older one, but my wife said she wanted the new one! Now we have two Maxima's! She has 112,000 miles on it now and there have been no problems at all. My Dad like the car so much that when it came time for him to get a new one, he asked me to do some research and trade in his Buick Park Ave. So, I took him to the Nissan Dealership and we walked out with a brand new 2001 Maxima & he loved it! Like me, he drove that thing until he retired in 2004 with 210,325 miles. He traded it in and took the car the company gave him at retirement and he hated it. So, he went and got another one and is happy in Florida. In short, not only would I recommend the Nissan Maxima to someone, I will buy another one tomorrow if any of the two that I currently have stopped working! There are very few cars as reliable, as fun yet as fast as this car. They don't call it a 4 door Sports Car for nothing!!!

Excellent vehicle
by prappl from Denver, Co | December 22, 2008
These cars pack an awful lot of power considering the 3L V6 engines. Originally the 3rd generation Maxima came with the same engine as a 300ZX (sans the turbo option). For '92-'94 the SE had an option of a DOHC engine that ended up being slightly refined for '95 to replace the SOHC option on all Nissans, and it has been on Ward's top 10 engines ever since. The Maxima is Nissan's flagship sedan and was designed to compete with luxury brands, and even got a nickname from BMW - the four door sports car (as evidenced by the 4DSC stickers in the rear corner windows). Options like power seats, power side-view mirrors, keyless entry, airbags, front (or full for SE) disk brakes, transmission power/comfort control, automatic climate control, and heads up display were certainly ahead of the curve for 1989. It's even spacious enough to seat four 6'+ adults, though my 6'7" brother does find the driverseat a bit too small (perfect for me at 6'2"!). And with four wheel independent suspension, and an optional viscous limited slip differential, this car loves mountains. I'm ticking away at 200k on one of my Maximas, and 133k on the other, both still running strong and keeping a smile on my face. =D (Not mine in the pictures.)

by Car lover from Illinois | February 17, 2008
my dad has had this car for 18 years and it still runs great!! it has been in 2 accidents and repaired and is still the same. It has great acceleration for its year and the engine sounds amazing.This car has never broken down. i love how they put an option of power and comfort, when you switch it to power it gives it more of a boost when you step on the pedal. it is a very comfortible ride. The radio broke but i bought a new reciver for it and still works. the bose speakers in it are amazing but the front two stop working but the back ones still work and they give amazing sound and bass.

"My first real kiss ever was with him on the show," Kunis tells W magazine for its August issue, on newsstands July 9.
"And when That '70s Show had a prom, my date for the prom turned out to be my fiancé. We can honestly say that we went to prom together!" she says. "I do think that in that episode I went home with someone else. We don't talk about that part."
The actress, 30, says when she was younger, she never thought she would get married, but "I found the love of my life," she says. "We all get movie star crushes. I'm marrying mine."
Kunis says she plans to keep her wedding secret and private, and the pair are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child, a girl, this fall.
"I have never wanted to be the person who only has business on her mind," she says. "To me, this job has always been a hobby that turned into a great profession, but I don't eat and breathe acting. I'm sure Meryl Streep has a very different point of view. But I'm excited about being a full-time mom."

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
Henry is a man who thinks before he speaks. In the opening scene of Cindy Lou Johnson�s �Brilliant Traces,� that simple trait becomes a Herculean task.
Put yourself in Henry�s shoes, which for Merely Players� production of the 1989 stage standard are filled by Durango High graduate and University of Northern Colorado student Conor Sheehan. He has moved to a remote cabin in the Alaskan backcountry to escape any possibility of human interaction. Or so he thinks.
On a dark and stormy winter�s night, a pounding on his door awakens him, followed with an explosive entrance by a semi-hysterical bride protected from the harsh elements by only her gown. This is Rosannah, played by Madeleine Meigs during her summer break from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. So stunned is Henry by Rosannah�s arrival that he doesn�t speak for the first 12 minutes of the play. But she talks enough for both them.
When Henry finally starts talking, the 90-minute single-act play is a nonstop character study of two people who have been seriously warped. After letting her sleep for two straight days, Henry learns that Rosannah drove for days to arrive at his doorstep, the probability of which is on par with hitting the Powerball.
�Nobody just happens to come here,� he screams at her.
We learn that Rosannah�s odd odyssey began in Arizona and ended when her car died at Henry�s cabin. We learn that Henry is living the life of a hermit because of a tragedy from his own past. We also learn that these two are nuts and that perhaps fate did everyone a favor by pairing them up in a place where they can�t harm anyone but themselves. Theirs is an alternating energy of resentment and desire, and Sheehan and Meigs do a terrific job of making it real.
Both actors are former students of Mona Wood-Patterson, whose signature is all over �Traces.� The convincing set, built within the Spartan Back Space Theatre, is a creation of Wood-Patterson�s husband, Charles Ford. Bucking a trend of minimalist staging in modern theater, Henry�s cabin includes a real kitchen, bed and comfortable chair. He and Rosannah eat real food and drink real beverages. Those may sound like insignificant details, but I appreciated the authenticity. It�s an emotional story not suited for pantomime.
Wood-Patterson admitted she got lucky when Meigs and Sheehan decided to come home to Durango for the summer. With a cast of just two people and no scene breaks, a lot could go wrong without the right actors. Both have learned their craft well. It�s hard enough to memorize an hour and a half of dialog, but the duo delivers their lines with such confidence and emotion that their parents should rest easy knowing their tuition money is being well-spent. Meigs especially is so convincing as a woman on the verge of total collapse, that I was happy to meet her afterward and find that those traits are limited to the stage.
Audiences at tonight�s performance, as well as the Aug. 3 show, will have the same opportunity as Meigs, Sheehan and the producers will hold talkbacks at the conclusion of the play.

A hearing for the fifth person arrested for allegedly operating a methamphetamine lab Dec. 29 at a Wilson Street residence in Elkins was held in Randolph County Magistrate Court Thursday.
Magistrate George "Mike" Riggleman found probable cause to bind 28-year-old Phillip Ander Moyers, of Elkins, to a Randolph County grand jury at the conclusion of Moyers' preliminary hearing.
Moyers, 31-year-old Michael Leon Bennington of Buckhannon, 51-year-old Brian Keith Hammer, 47-year-old Barbara Ann Spiva and 44-year-old Angela Faye Miller were each charged with operating or attempting to operate a clandestine lab, a felony, and with manufacturing or delivery of controlled substance, also a felony, Dec. 29 after police allegedly found methamphetamine precursors, methamphetamine and residue from shake-and-bake meth "cooks" inside a residence located at 462 Wilson St.
On Wednesday, Riggleman bound the cases of Spiva, Hammer and Bennington over to Circuit Court, but found no probable cause in Miller's case.
Spiva, Hammer, Bennington and Moyers are each being held in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on a $50,000 cash-only bond.
At Thursday's preliminary hearing, Randolph County Sheriff's Deputy D.L. VanMeter testified that on Dec. 29, he and Trooper M.J. Wilson with the Morgantown detachment of the West Virginia State Police were attempting to serve a warrant on 22-year-old Samantha Armentrout, who was alleged to have been a passenger in a red or maroon Pontiac Grand Prix.
When the officers spotted a car matching that description pull in behind Barbara Spiva's residence at 462 Wilson St., Spiva let them in and gave them consent to search her condominium for Armentrout. Upon allegedly discovering methamphetamine precursors in the upstairs bathroom, the officers asked Spiva, Miller, Bennington and Hammer to remain seated on the living room couch while they scoured the residence. The officers testified that they found a variety of meth precursors in the bathroom including rock salt, lithium batteries and drain opener; several abandoned "one-pot cooks" or shake-and-bake meth labs in the master bedroom closet; and what appeared to be refuse from cooking meth in the basement of the condo.
In the midst of their investigation, VanMeter said he heard "something or someone moving around upstairs" and saw a shadow.
That's when VanMeter encountered Moyers, who was walking out of the master bedroom and into an adjacent, smaller bedroom.
"I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was looking for an inhaler," VanMeter testified. The deputy said he also overheard Moyers say he was "the significant other" of Spiva.
"I understood through my investigation that he lived (at 462 Wilson St.) also," he said.
VanMeter asked Moyers where he was when Wilson had initially gone upstairs to look for Armentrout, and Moyers told the deputy he was in the attic, VanMeter testified. The officer noted that the only entry to the attic was located in the master bedroom.
Moyers' attorney, Chris Cooper, wanted to know if either the trooper or the deputy had any evidence directly linking his client to the materials related to the manufacture of meth that were found in the bedroom, master bedroom closet and basement.
"Did you personally witness my client operate a clandestine drug lab?" Cooper asked VanMeter.
"No, I did not," the deputy replied.
Wilson testified that he'd run an NPLEx scan on Moyers which tracks pseudoephedrine purchases and found that Moyers had no such purchases. Assistant Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Lori Gray asked about the results of the NPLEx scan he'd run on Moyers' "significant other," Spiva.
Wilson said Spiva had, on two occasions, purchased medications containing pseudoephedrine in December and was blocked from buying on her third attempt.
Senior Trooper D.R. Wolford with the Elkins detachment of the WVSP and a certified clandestine lab technician also testified Thursday, saying that he and Wilson had removed "five five-gallon buckets and two 35-gallon tubs" of materials related to making meth from Spiva's residence.
"Based on your education and training, is it your opinion that there was a clandestine meth lab there in that home?" Gray asked Wolford.
"Yes," he replied.
Gray argued that there was "clear and overwhelming evidence" that probable cause should be found in Moyers' case, given his location in the home at the time officers arrived and his relationship with Spiva.
Cooper countered that Moyers' mere presence was not enough to incriminate him.
"Being a witness to a crime does not mean you're a criminal," Cooper argued. "All three witnesses called could not say that Mr. Moyers actively cooked anything." Citing Wilson's testimony that Moyers hadn't bought any pseudoephedrine products, Cooper suggested Moyers "was in the wrong place at the wrong time and may even have the wrong friends."
"But we do not have enough evidence to continue having him incarcerated," he said.
Riggleman disagreed.
"Mr. Cooper, I am finding probable cause, and I am binding him over to Circuit Court," the magistrate said.
"Then, he should have been charged with conspiracy," Cooper argued, exiting the courtroom. "He shouldn't have been charged with active manufacture of methamphetamine if that's the case."

Everything is right around the corner
Everything is right around the corner
It's that time of year. The snow is about to leave us, baseball games will be televised, and demand for ice cream will increase. In theory, higher milk prices, feed costs, and haymaking season will be here before we know it, too. Late in the winter (or early in the spring, depending on your groundhog of choice), the pessimism associated with short, dark days, unforgiving weather, and maybe too much time with family turns into the optimism of what is to come.
Who hasn't heard a dairy farmer complain about their amount of work during hay season? But during early March, the repeated lifting of 40-pound bales for 12 hours a day is a welcome thought. If you're a dairy farmer with no cropland, the routine does not change all that much in the summer. But for those of us in the northland, the frozen pipes, solidified sand, and the frantic call from a ditch full of snow and your employee's car provide plenty of reasons to long for the extended sunlight.
Of course, all that changes if you find time and money to head south (or anywhere, for that matter) for a short vacation. Like a drug for your
attitude, a little getaway often does more for your farm – and mental health – than putting in those last few straining hours of work.
The downside, of course, is the work that remains when we return home. But, if your getaway includes a dairy conference, a tour of other farms, or a meeting with an expert, your "lost" time might be recaptured by the minute you get back. We are lucky to be in an industry with so much shared innovation and inspiration. Are you collecting your fair share?

New study suggests depression is linked with cognitive impairment
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam note that studies have suggested from three to 63 percent of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have symptoms of depression while other studies have indicated those with a history of depression have an increased risk for dementia. Researchers set out to evaluate the association of late-life depression in seniors with MCI and dementia.
This cohort study was conducted in Northern Manhattan, New York, New York that included 2160 community-dwelling Medicare recipients aged 65 and older.
Dr. Edo Richard, M.D., PhD, researcher, University of Amsterdam, Academic Medical Center , department of neurology, and colleagues wrote: "We found that depression was related to a higher risk of prevalent MCI and dementia, incident dementia, and progression from prevalent MCI to dementia, but not to incident MCI."
Depression was assessed by the CES-D scale, which is a short scale designed to measure depression symptoms in the general populace. The items of the scale are symptoms associated with depression which have been used in previously validated longer scales.
The results revealed baseline depression was associated to prevalent MCI and dementia, while baseline depression was linked to an increased risk of incident dementia but not incident MCI.
The study also revealed those with MCI and current depression at baseline had a higher risk of ultimately developing dementia especially vascular dementia but not Alzheimer's disease.
In their conclusion the researchers write; "The association of depression with prevalent MCI and with progression from MCI to dementia, but not with incident MCI, suggests that depression accompanies cognitive impairment but does not precede it."
This study is published in the Archives of Neurology, Online First.
Several studies suggest between five and 20 percent of seniors have MCI of some form at any one time. Seniors who have MCI are at an increased risk for the development of dementia. Studies conducted in memory clinics showed 10 to 15 percent of people proceeded to develop dementia.
Studies reveal that MCI carries a significant increased risk of dementia that is around three to five times greater risk in comparison to those without MCI.
More information on mild cognitive impairment can be found online at the Alzheimer's Association.

Ph.D. University of Gloucestershire
Paul Hackett is active both as a teacher and researcher. His research and teaching is rooted in the category-based system for understanding complex human behavior known as facet theory. His interest in ontological categories has expanded from facet theory, to mapping sentences and then to metaphysics and ontology in a more general sense. He has published books and papers in this area.
Paul was a visiting chair (full professor) in the Department of Psychology, School of Natural and Social Sciences, University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham, UK. During 2015-16, he was a visiting academic in the Philosophy Department at Oxford University, UK, where conducted research into structural ontologies. In 2016 he is a visiting researcher at Cambridge University, UK, in the Department of Psychology. Here, he will be working with Professor Nicola Clayton in her Comparative Cognition Lab.
Paul Hackett has held positions at Birmingham University, Cardiff University and Worcester University in the United Kingdom and Tufts University in the United States. He has a wide background in the humanities and social sciences (psychology, philosophy, sociology, religious studies, fine art) where his work has been focused through a facet theory mereology. While at Birmingham University Business School, Paul developed his interested in the consumer research theory and psychological/behavioral explanations of consumer behavior. His research interests also include facet theoretical approaches to research especially as this applies to consumer psychology research, situated consumer behavior and store design along with consumer behavior and measurement of that behavior in a variety of settings.
Hackett has published numerous books, chapters, and journal articles in the area at the intersection of research methodology, psychology and philosophy. His books include: Conservation and the Consumer: Understanding Environmental Concern, Routledge 2006), Fine Art and Perceptual Neuroscience: Field of Vision and the Painted Grid, Explorations in Cognitive Psychology Series, Psychology Press (2013), and Facet Theory and the Mapping Sentence: Evolving Philosophy, Use and Application, Palgrave McMillan (2014). He is at present completing an edited book on qualitative consumer research: Qualitative Research Methods in Consumer Psychology: Ethnography and Culture, Routledge (Summer 2015) and with Jessica Schwarzenbach a book entitled: The Ph.D. in Fine Art, (Routledge, Summer 2015). He is involved in several other writing projects (see below for details).
His research and writing has appeared in many prestigious journals, including Psychometrika, International Review of Retail, Distribution, and Consumer Research; Environment and Behavior; the British Journal of Management; Multivariate Behavior Research, and others. Dr. Hackett is a chartered psychologist also an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society, a fellow of the Massachusetts Psychological Association, the Royal Anthropological Institution and a member of the Facet Theory Association.

Nicki Minaj & Keith Urban Officially Join American Idol
In addition to familiar face Randy Jackson, Carey will be joined by Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban on the panel when the singing competition's 12th season debuts in January, Fox announced Sunday.
"It's really an honor to have been invited to be a part of the American Idol family," Urban, 44, says. "I'm looking forward to working with everyone and to seeing the same passion that I have for music in all of the participants."
Minaj, 29, whose addition to the show was buzzed-about last month, teased her Twitter followers earlier in the weekend with a vague promise for "info tmrw…"
Host Ryan Seacrest later confirmed the news with a sweet snapshot of the Idol cast and crew. "It's official," he wrote Sunday.
The announcement ties up yet another Idol casting shakeup that saw the departure of Jennifer Lopez and rocker Steven Tyler after two seasons.
Freshly minted judge Carey, who will reportedly rake in about $18 million for the season, Tweeted in July, "I'm excited to help find and nurture new talent."
Aspiring superstars will meet the four-person panel when auditions begin Sunday in New York City.
