A Volusia County woman accused in a deadly hit-and-run crash that killed a 14-year-old girl asked for a judge to release her on bond.
Danielle Halverson made an appearance in court Thursday morning after she missed a hearing last week.
Halverson is accused of hitting and killing a 14-year-old DeLand girl, Julianne Hobbs, with her car and then leaving the scene. Rachel Russell, 14, was also injured in the crash.
Troopers said they think Halverson had dropped her cell phone and hit the girls as she was reaching for it.
In court, Halverson's attorney said her failure to appear last week was his mistake and that he meant to file a waiver of appearance for her and failed to do so.
The judge reinstated Halverson's bond at $30,000.
Hobbs sister was disgusted at the decision.
"I feel like she shouldn't have been given a bail," said Courtney Myers. "I was here for her court date, if I knew when it was, she should have known when it was. I think she's a cold woman. She has shown no remorse and feels she can disobey the law anytime she pleases. She proved that the night she killed my sister and left her there to die."
Halverson's hearing comes just as her boyfriend, 59-year-old James Hanna III, was arrested for tampering with evidence in the same case.

A schmassive is a penis of such substantial size it can often be compared with objects such as an Inter Continental Balistic Missile, a zeppelin, a submarine up to such a scale its testicles could be the size of the moon. Following the trend of schlort, schledium and schlong, the schmassive is of such epic proportion to the schlong it is almost separate from the franchise.
Person A: Hey man is my wang a schlort, schledium or schlong dya reckon?

The mother of four kids – Neriah, 12, Sierra, 10, Rain, 6, and Shaya, 4 – hopes her lifestyle rubs off on them.
"I always tell other parents to lead by example," Burke-Charvet, 41, told PEOPLE on Tuesday. "My kids know I'm always working out and I love to cook. I'm always preparing healthy meals. I think it's also about giving them healthy options, which is so, so important. My little ones, especially, grocery shop with me. They're in the kitchen. They love to cook."
Part of what she believes helps guide her children down the right path is being as cautious about what comes out of her mouth as what goes into it.
"I try to never use words like 'fat' or 'diet,' " she says. "I try to choose my words carefully with my kids. It's just about making good choices and enjoying what we eat and making delicious flavorful foods that are healthy. I'm just teaching them about being healthy and strong, not about being thin."
But a mom who is always "working out super hard" deserves a break.
"I love my red wine," the Dancing with the Stars co-host says. "I think every mom deserves a glass of wine. I eat so healthy, but I listen to my body when I have cravings and I think that's why I'm able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If I'm really craving something, I have it. The next day, I'm back on track."
Michael Simon
"I'm so blessed and fortunate with the way things worked out with my surgery," she says. "Now I'm back in the swing of things, working and feeling great."
Now that she's no longer on the mend, she wanted to help someone else who is. Burke recently teamed up with Kleenex to deliver a special care package (tissues, sanitizers, lip balm, a cozy blanket and music downloads) to an ailing Malibu sweepstakes winner during flu season.
"It's the perfect sort of recovery care package. It was a really thoughtful gift to send to somebody. The winner was really surprised," Burke says.

It's designed to get more Americans healthy -- but the process seems to be anything but.
"It's just a mess," Bend resident Ric King said Friday about the latest Obamacare delays and the problems with Cover Oregon.
"I got a 30 days notice that my deductible was going up and it was restarting," said Bend resident Kathie Lustig.
Even those who know the law best are having trouble with the changes.
"It's challenging, to say the least," said insurance broker Jerry Jackson.
President Obama announced Thursday that insurance companies could sell plans that don't comply with Obamacare for one more year -- but about 145,000 Oregonians already have received letters of cancelled policies.
And many are wondering: Now what?
"Both the insurance carrier and the (state insurance) commissioner would have to be able to file rates to extend coverage to make that available," Jackson said.
Late Friday afternoon, Oregon's insurance commissioner announced insurance companies will be able to extend health plans to 2014.
But it's getting late in the year.
"Normally, they file six months before," Jackson said.
Add the mess of Cover Oregon into the mix -- not a single online enrollment processed online, and the program's director put on notice.
"Every day gets more and more confusing," King said. "I mean they roll out the dates for this, and move this back."
Insurance agents like Jackson are scrambling to get people started on Cover Oregon's paper applications -- and if you haven't got started yet, Jackson says don't wait any longer -- the paper trail is a long process
"Cover Oregon basically has up to 45 days before they'll send out an eligibility packet," Jackson said.
From Washington to Salem, a double-blow to those who can't risk their coverage in limbo.
"I have a lot of complicated medical issues. I don't know what's going to happen Jan. 1st," Lustig said.
How could these delays to Obamacare affect your wallet?
Insurance agents NewChannel 21 spoke with said rates could go up -- but that's still up in the air.

Green Wave coach John McKissick is hoping to play a game of keep away with the Bulldogs Friday.
Summerville (10-2) hosts Boiling Springs (8-4) at 7:30 p.m. in the second round of the Division 1-AAAA playoffs. The Bulldogs scored 40 or more points in nine of their games this season so McKissick knows he needs to cool down the Boiling Springs' offense.
"We will need to keep them off the field," McKissick said. "When we have the ball, we have to make first downs. We can't afford to have as many three-and-outs as we've been having. Last week our defense only gave up seven points but Ashley Ridge had 18 first downs and possessed the ball way too long."
Boiling Springs demonstrated how quickly it can score last week when it rallied to avenge an earlier loss to Gaffney and advance in the playoffs.
"Boiling Springs scored 21 points in the final nine or so minutes to get the win," McKissick said. "That's scary. They have a tall receiver who caught about 11 passes in that game and they have a talented running back. They are a good football team that plays with a lot of confidence. If you are a football fan, this one should be fun to watch."
The Bulldogs' wins have been over Nation Ford (40-13), Clover (48-21), Rock Hill (21-7), Riverside (51-31), Wade Hampton (41-21), Spartanburg (41-38), Dorman (35-31) and Gaffney (48-41). Their losses came to York (46-45), Byrnes (63-34), Gaffney (59-54) and Mauldin (83-70).
Boiling Springs' wide receiver Mason Sanders (6-6, 210) and running back Tre'shaun Sanderlin (5-10, 190) have been selected to participate in this year's North-South All-star game.
Sanders had more than 150 receiving yards and three touchdowns last week while Sanderlin had 65 rushing yards. Bulldog QB Daniel Thompson connected with other receivers for another 193 yards through the air and sophomore Brendon Robinson added another 122 rushing yards.
The good news for home-team fans is the Summerville defense has done better than most against other high-octane teams. The Green Wave held Goose Creek to 34 points and Stratford to 28 points.
The Summerville offense is also very capable. On average, the Green Wave has scored 32 points per game this season.
A key for Summerville this week will be getting out to a faster start. While the Wave has owned the fourth quarter in terms of time of possession, it hasn't possessed the ball well in the first quarter.
For the season, Summerville has nearly 65 minutes of first-quarter possession time while its opponents have held the ball for just more than 79 minutes in the opening quarter.
In contrast, Summerville has an 86:30 to 57:30 edge in fourth-quarter possession time.
Summerville's offense has been very balanced as it has rushed for 2,414 yards and passed for 1,872 yards.
Summerville is losing the penalties battle this season with 104 penalties to its opponents' 66. However, the Wave is winning the turnovers battle 23 to 17.
The Summerville defense has 32 sacks on the season and 12 interceptions. It has 62 tackles for a loss, has hurried the QB 87 times and has blocked/broken up 50 pass attempts.
Summerville also has two North-South All-stars of its own, kicker David Kennedy and tight end Sean Smith (6-6, 225).
"Our team has great focus," Smith said. "We think if we just keep our minds right we will be able to make a run. We just need to maintain that focus through practice and then on Friday make sure we come up big when it counts."

Drama Club to Produce Mystery-Comedy
The Penn State Shenango Drama Club will present the audience-participation, mystery-comedy You Have the Right to Remain Dead at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 6 and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 7. Written by Pat Cook, this play-within-a- play mystery features an outlandish Southern family in a comic crisis that sets up a murder. But the murder that actually happens isn't in the script. Who did it is eventually solved with the help of the audience, who is invited to look over the evidence during intermission. You Have the Right to Remain Dead will be produced in the school's Auditorium, corner of Silver Street and Shenango Avenue in Sharon, PA. Admission is $9 for adults, $7 for students and senior citizens, $5 for children under age 4. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
The characters are engaging, poking fun at all the stereotypes of family dramas set in the Deep South, at the actors who make up a community theatre company, and at how detectives are portrayed on stage. Just when you think you know who the murderer is, another suspect is implicated, until everybody is under suspicion.
Refreshments at intermission are complimentary, contributing to a dinner-theatre atmosphere. According to Dr. Jeanne Zingale, theatre instructor and advisor to the Drama Club, "We thought about calling this our 'Just Desserts' Dinner Theatre production, because there are just desserts, no dinner involved. The 'just desserts' concept is part of the fun of the play too, because in a way, the victim gets his 'just desserts' for being such an overbearing person."
The cast of ten actors is directed by Steven Shook, a Penn State Shenango student.
The play is a benefit fundraiser for AWARE of Mercer County. AWARE is committed to providing education, support and advocacy for all people in Mercer County impacted by domestic, emotional, sexual violence, and elder abuse.
In support of AWARE, the Drama Club will be offering a basket raffle and a 50/50 raffle in conjunction with the production.
You Have the Right to Remain Dead is being produced by permission of Dramatic Publishing of Woodstock, Illinois. For more information about the show, contact the Office of Student Affairs at 724-983-2836.

Singaporean label Vice & Vanity was founded in 2006 by Vivi Masturah Lim and Aaron Kao. The pair's jewellery has been featured in exhibitions and publications internationally. Most recently they collaborated on a capsule range of bags with label Saturday. The inspiration behind the brand lies in the juxtaposition of the ancient and the modern, drawing on the folklore of cultures from around the world. The collection 'Oni' for example was derived from the "Native American name (Oni) (which) represents birth out of holy ground while in Japan, its the name of a devilish entity with sharp claws."

The Stetson baseball team allowed four runs in the ninth inning, as Mercer (18-6, 3-1) defeated the Hatters (10-12, 0-1) by a score of 7-4 in game one of a three-game Atlantic Sun Conference series at Melching Field on Friday night.
"We had a well played game, and [Stetson starting pitcher] Josh Powers once again goes out there and pitches a good game, but that's the difference in those two teams tonight," Stetson head coach Pete Dunn said. "[It was] a veteran team over there that seems to know how to win. We shut them out for five innings, and in the last four innings they score seven runs."
After Stetson's Powers and Mercer's starter Brandon Barker cruised through the first three innings quickly, the Hatters got to Barker in the bottom of the fourth. Stetson used a two-out rally to score a pair of runs and take a 2-0 lead over the Bears.
Freshman Carlos Garmendia singled through the right side to start things off, before senior Mitchel Brennan worked a walk to put two runners on. Freshman Konner Lutz then doubled to right center field, his second extra base hit of the season, driving in both runners to give Stetson the first lead of the game.
Mercer was able to put one run across in the sixth on a trio of singles, but the top of the seventh was when the Bears took their first lead, and ultimately forced Powers out of the contest. A pair of singles and a hit by pitch tied the game at 2-2, and eventually, a single by Mercer's Chesny Young gave the Bears the lead and forced Stetson to relieve Powers.
The sophomore right-hander allowed three runs on nine hits in his sixth start of the season. Powers struck out two batters while walking none in six and two thirds innings.
Stetson fired right back in the bottom half of the seventh, scoring two runs to regain the lead at 4-3. Junior Robert Bruce led off the frame with a single through the infield, before freshman Kevin Fagan executed a bunt single to put two runners on.
A sacrifice bunt by sophomore Tyler Bocock advanced the runners to second and third, and both came home to score when freshman Patrick Mazeika hit his fifth double of the season, a two RBI shot to left center.
A scoreless eighth gave way to a four-run top of the ninth for Mercer that put the Bears in the lead once again, and handed Stetson a loss in its first A-Sun game of the season. Scoring off of three different Hatter relievers, Mercer used four hits, two walks, and a balk to take the late 7-4 advantage.
"They got into our bullpen, and they did a good job against them," Dunn said. "They had some great at bats, but we're still finding ways to make it hard on ourselves. We just couldn't put it all together. It didn't help that both [Kevin] Fagan and [freshman Tyler] Warmoth were out tonight because of the Florida State series. We just didn't feel good about trying to use them tonight. I certainly would have loved to have had one or both of those guys available."
Bocock and Lutz each recorded two hits in the contest, while Lutz and Mazeika each drove in a pair in the loss. Young led the Bears with three hits in the win. Mercer's Ben Lumsden earned the win after pitching two shutout innings in relief. Freshman Brandon Diaz picked up the loss after allowing one run on one walk.
Stetson and Mercer will square off again in game two of the weekend series, beginning Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at Melching Field. Saturday's game was scheduled for 6:30 p.m., but has been officially moved to 1:00 p.m.

KINGS BEACH, Calif. — In my previous article I discussed the importance of essential fatty acids for healthy brains and overall health. In today's piece I will cover the importance of protein and complex carbohydrates. These three categories — protein, carbohydrates and fat — are called the macronutrients and are the core of your daily nutrition.
Many children and adults begin their day by eating, essentially, dessert for breakfast. Cereals, pastries, and juice are the norm. They're quick and easy and kids love them. And, they're full of sugar — setting your child up for a day of ups and downs with their blood sugar, their energy, their mood and their attention span, as well as suppressing their immune systems.
Recent research shows a phenomenon called an "adrenaline response" occurs in children at a blood sugar level that would not be considered "hypoglycemic" (low blood sugar) but does occur about three to four hours after eating highly processed, high-sugar foods and drinks (this includes 100 percent fruit juices). This "adrenaline response" includes symptoms such as shaking, sweating, increased movement/hyperactivity, loss of concentration, reactive behavior, tantrums and aggressive behavior. In other words — it doesn't take much for kids to "crash" into craziness after a sugary snack or meal. It isn't just the sugar that produces these responses, but also the sugar crash/adrenaline response following the sugary meal or snack).
All carbohydrates affect brain function and mood. The rate at which sugar from a particular food enters brain cells, and other cells of the body, is called the "glycemic index" (GI). Foods with a high glycemic index (simple carbohydrates and sugar) stimulate the pancreas to secrete high levels of insulin, which causes sugar to empty quickly from the blood into the cells. Low-glycemic foods deliver a steady supply of sugar, helping control behavior, moods and improve performance. The "standard American diet" breakfast of cereal, pastries and juice is the ultimate high glycemic index breakfast. Switch it out for proteins, whole fruits (not fruit juices), veggies and/or whole grains to stabilize blood sugar and all the positive health that comes with that. Establishing healthy blood sugar levels in your children begins and ends with providing the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils at each and every meal.
Protein evenly sustains your energy by keeping blood sugar levels more "normal" over the course of the day. Proteins also affect brain performance by providing the amino acids that make neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are biochemical messengers that carry signals from one brain cell to another. Imbalances in neurotransmitters are responsible for many behavioral and emotional issues, so the better you feed these messengers, the more efficiently they deliver the messages, allowing your child to be alert at school (and you to be more on top of things at work).
Begin the day and the blood sugar balance with a healthy, well-balanced breakfast. Start with a protein such as eggs, cheese, meats, or vegetarian options such as beans, or nuts (even nut butters — but watch for added sugars), and combine with a low sugar load (low GI) carbohydrate such as whole fruit, particularly berries, and/or fiber-rich foods such as whole grain cereals (no added sugars!), rolled oat oatmeal, or whole grain toast (such as sprouted grain) for a more stable blood sugar level with significantly smaller sugar crashes and adrenaline responses.
Because the body makes brain-awakening neurotransmitters when you eat protein, starting your day with a breakfast that includes protein starts your child's day out the right way, setting them up for success in school (and life). Finish off the balance with a healthy fat/oil choice such as a flax oil spread on their whole grain toast or drizzled into their rolled oat cereal. Flax oil has a wonderfully nutty taste and is a source of essential fatty acids as well.

A 12-year-old north Florida boy shot a high-powered rifle and hit a 69,000-volt transmission line, causing almost 6,000 customers in Lynne, Silver Springs Shores, Silver Springs and Ocklawaha to lose service for several hours.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports that the Clay Electric Co-op said the outage began at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and lasted for about five hours.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office has classified the incident as accidental, since the boy claimed he was shooting the rifle at tree limbs and was not targeting the transmission line.

The saying goes, "It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks." So why would anyone expect the wily 84-year-old Joe Paterno to tip his hand on who his starting quarterback will be come Saturday's season opener against the Indiana State Sycamores?
Sure, Paterno has tweaked his coaching style a bit over the years, but this is one thing the old dog likely will never change. Quite frankly, he shouldn't have to.
Paterno said Tuesday that redshirt junior Matt McGloin and sophomore Rob Bolden will split time under center against Indiana State. And true to form, the coach said that both quarterbacks have performed well in summer practices and each deserves a chance to start.
But Paterno's indecision is a dangerous move that can only hurt the progress of this football team.
McGloin was a great story for the program last year - his breakout performance in a 41-31 win over Michigan was enough to shine a positive light on an otherwise disappointing season. He's got the heart that a coach wishes all his players would have. But he should not be the starting quarterback for the Nittany Lions.
Bolden is the future of the program, plain and simple. The highly-touted recruit has three years of eligibility left, including this season, which should not be wasted - as was the case for previous top-recruit quarterbacks.
We found out McGloin's limits last season against Ohio State and in the Outback Bowl versus Florida. It's time to put down the storybook down and get serious about being one of the nation's top collegiate football programs.
Bolden will still have his growing pains this year. And hopefully, he's a more mature player than he was reported to be last season - having another season under their belts should help many of the younger players. But, at this point, McGloin taking snaps can only hinder Bolden's growth.
Saturday's contest might be a "cupcake" matchup, but let's not forget who comes to Happy Valley on Sept. 10. Every snap until that point will be a valuable learning experience that must be used properly.
Penn State's schedule doesn't exactly qualify as "cupcake" this year. Although the Lions should be 3-1 (the loss coming to Alabama) to start the year, with a trio of home matchups and a virtual home game at Lincoln Financial Field against Temple on Sept. 17, they face a grueling new Big Ten schedule to finish out the season.
Iowa has had Penn State's number as of late, and a visit to Northwestern could easily be one of those trap games - the Wildcats are no longer the Big Ten's football punching bag. The season ends with the Lions hosting new conference member Nebraska, followed by trips to Ohio State and Wisconsin.
The final three games will ultimately decide whether the 2011 campaign was a success or a failure for Penn State.
Stephfon Green reportedly returned to the team in recent days after being dismissed earlier this month. It'll be interesting to see what Paterno does with the senior running back, but I can't imagine Green will see much of the field, at least not early in the season.
Silas Redd enters the season as the Lion's starting back, but questions remain as to whether the sophomore can handle the 18 to 25 carries per game that will be asked of him. Expect to hear Brandon Beachum's number called quite a bit early in the season as well.
A number of former Lions have made NFL headlines lately, led by Kerry Collins' retirement announcement in July and then his signing with the Indianapolis Colts last week. The Colts had to spend quite a pretty penny to lure the quarterback out of retirement - a nice final paycheck for Collins.
Stefen Wisniewski is the backup center on the Oakland Raiders' depth chart, and Bani Gbadyu joins him on the team as a No. 3 outside linebacker.
Cameron Wake anchors the Miami Dolphins' linebacker corps again this season, while second-year pro Mickey Shuler will back up at tight end. DE Jared Odrick may have to fight to see the field for the Dolphins.
Evan Royster faces an uphill battle in Washington, competing for preseason snaps in a crowded Redskins backfield. He may not make the final cut with Tim Hightower, Ryan Torain and fellow rookie Roy Helu ahead of him.
After being released from the Buffalo Bills in the offseason, Aaron Maybin will try to resurrect his career with the New York Jets, although he currently sits at the No. 3 weak side linebacker spot on the Jets' depth chart. I thought it a few years ago and I think it even more now: Maybin should have finished out his career at Penn State.
But for some players, the lure of the NFL and a big-money contract is too much to resist.
I can't open the season without at least touching on the debacle that is the Miami Hurricanes football program. Even if only a fraction of the violations, first reported by Yahoo! Sports' Charles Robinson, are true, it may be the final black eye the NCAA needs to finally clean up its act.
I don't believe athletes should be paid to come play football, or any sport, at a university. There needs to be some kind of amateur status remaining in collegiate athletics.
However, if a stipend on top of an athletic scholarship is needed to do away with the under-the-table deals that I'm sure the NCAA has turned a blind eye to for decades, then I'm all for it.
And I don't feel bad for the players who committed NCAA violations, no matter what their reason. Rules are rules, and whether players agree with them or not, they must be followed.
But I feel horrible for first-year Hurricanes coach Al Golden, who reportedly walked unknowingly into a buzz saw in Miami. Golden saved Temple's football program from extinction, worked hard to receive a head coaching position with a major college team and doesn't deserve to take any heat for past players' and coaches' mistakes.
If I were Golden, I would make this my only year at the helm of the Hurricanes. Heck, I probably would have resigned the minute I found out about the disaster I had walked in to.
With Paterno's contract expiring after this season, and the injuries mounting (never thought I would say that about a coach), wouldn't Golden be the perfect choice to succeed Joe in Happy Valley? Golden is a former Lion who would surely carry on Paterno's legacy and would continue to demand the high-quality character players we've come to expect at Penn State.
The phrase has probably lost all meaning by this point, but Paterno's got to step down sooner or later. Athletic Director Tim Curley better have Golden's number on speed dial.

Rules and who can compete in WTT
is it the Top 2 on SB skaters from a country ? or the ones who competed at Worlds
Can Julia compete ? I recall Adelina competed after Junior Worlds also
Rules and who can compete in WTT
is it the Top 2 on SB skaters from a country ? or the ones who competed at Worlds
Can Julia compete ? I recall Adelina competed after Junior Worlds also
Didn't Kovtun compete last year?
So no, the skater did not have to compete at Worlds.
My guess is that it will be France, USA, Japan, Canada, Russia, and Italy. (Maybe China, not sure.)
Italy should be out, since we have 0 GP Men points and just 292 GP Ladies points, since Carolina didn't compete...
It's offical: Japan, USA, Canada, France, Russia and China are the six teams to compete at the World Team Trophy. Congratulaitons to them!
I believe the rule is that you HAVE TO compete at WTT if you are the top ranking skater/couple (two two for singles) AND you finish top 10 at Worlds. Otherwise everything is fair game.
Canada: Both Patrick Chan (WR 1/WC 1) and Kevin Reynolds (WR 16 (next best)/WC 5) will be required to go
Japan: Yuzuru Hanyu (WR 2/WC 4) and Daisuke Takahashi (WR 3/WC 6) will be required to go
USA: Open field. Jeremy Abbott did not compete at Worlds and Ross Miner did not rank in the top 10, so the U.S. is free to pick whoever.
France: Brian Joubert (WR 13 (2nd best for France)/WC 9) will be required to go. Florent Amodio will not since he did not rank in the top 10 at Worlds.
Russia: Open field. Two two ranking guys were Gachniski and Menshov and neither competed at Worlds.
China: Open field. Han Yan did not compete at Worlds and Nan Song did not place in the top 10.
Canada: Kaetlyn Osmond (WR 32/WC 8) will have to compete. Amelie Lacoste is ranked 24 in WR, but was not at Worlds so not obliged to compete.
Japan: Mao Asada ( WR 3/WC 3) will have to compete. Akiko Suzuki is the top ranking skater, but she did not place in the top 10 at Worlds.
USA: Ashley Wagner (WR 5/WC 5) will have to compete. Alissa Czisny (WR 11) is out for the season, so the second spot is open.
France: Open field. Neither of the France's top ranked skaters got top 10 at Worlds.
Russia: Adelina Sotnikova (WR 9/WC 9) will have to compete; second spot is open as top ranking Leonova did not finish top 10 at Worlds.
China: Zijun Li (WR 13/WC 7) will have to compete; second spot is open sine Kexin Zhang did not finish in the top 10 at Worlds.
Canada: Duhamel/Radford (WR 3/WC 3) will have to compete
Japan: ???? They only have one pair really not sure if they will be ready for WTT.
USA: Open. Denney/Coughlin were not at Worlds. Not sure who they would send.
France: James/Cipres (WR 12/ WC 8) will have to compete
Russia: Volosozhar/Trankov (WR 1/WC 1) will have to compete
China: Pang/Tong (WR 5/WC 5) will have to compete
Canada: Virtue/Moir (WR 2/WC 2) will have to compete
Japan: Open, but likely will be the Reeds.
USA: Davis/White (WR 1 /WC 1) will have to compete
France: Pechalat/Bourzat (WR 3/WC 6) will have to compete
Russia: Bobrova/Soloviev (WR 4/WC 3) will have to compete
China: Open.
Allegedly there are rules for the selection of the skaters. Given that Kovtun went to WTT for Russia last year without having been to Senior OR Junior Worlds, I think it's evident that the rules aren't followed.
OK, It's the first ranking skaters
but why didn't V/T compete last Season ?
So in the case of Russia, neither of the two top ranking skaters (Gachinski or Voronov) were top 10 at Worlds so they were free to send Kovtun instead.
So in summary:
* - Denotes that they must go (or be penalized in some fashion)
Mens: Chan*, Reynolds*
Ladies: Osmond*, Lacoste
Pairs: Duhamel/Radford*
Ice Dance: Davis & White*
Mens: Hanyu*, Takahashi*
Ladies: Asada*, Murakami (maybe Suzuki)
Pairs: ??? (Narumi & Kihara may not be ready by then)
Dance: Reed & Reed
Mens: Aaron, Miner (maybe Abbott)
Ladies: Wagner*, Gold
Pairs: Castelli & Shnapir (maybe Scimeca & Knierim)
Ice Dance: Virtue/Moir*
Mens: Joubert*, Amodio
Ladies: Meite, Gilleron-Gorry
Pairs: James & Cipres*
Ice Dance: Pechalat & Bourzat*
Men: Menshov, Kovtun (maybe Gachniski)
Ladies: Sotnikova*, Lipnitskaia (maybe Leonova)
Pairs: Volosozhar & Trankov*
Dance: Bobrova & Soloviev*
Mens: Song, Yan
Ladies: Li*, Zhang
Pairs: Pang & Tong*
Dance: Yu & Wang
But didn't Hanyu withdraw last year, and it was okay?
what penalty did V/T got last season ?
I thought the penalty was you can skip but not attend any ice shows
because I doubt V/T will be there again
I think Stolbova/Klimov will go as mentioned in some previous articles
I hope Lipnitskaya goes, Im tired of Leonova falling on every jump
I dont want to see Leonova there again
If I were Skate Canada, I would definitely send Daleman or even Chartrand (if they are age elilgible) before sending Lacoste. Barring injuries, the second entries for dance and pairs are no brainers.
For US, Aaron and Gold seem to be the top picks, but for the second US man, I prefer Farris since he just won Jr Worlds. This will give him experience the way it gave Gold last year at the same event.
Sending Menshov and Kotvun seem like a smart choice - compensation for Menshov and redemption for Kotvun. Lip is not eligible for Worlds this season - is she eligible for this? In any event I think the natural choice would be Sot and Tuk.

Football coaches say truly good football teams find a way to overcome mistakes. Charleston Southern tested that theory on Saturday and proved to be pretty good, overcoming a myriad of mistakes to post a 36-14 victory over Charlotte before 4,319 fans at Buccaneer Field.
Charleston Southern improved to 8-1 on the season, 3-0 at home, and will seek to tie the school record for victories in a season at Presbyterian next week.
Junior running back Christian Reyes became CSU's single-season rushing record holder, rushing for a career-high 181 yards as part of CSU's 375-yard team effort. Reyes now has 953 yards this season.
"It's nice to be able to do it today, at home, in front of such a great crowd," said Reyes. "The guys up front were on point today. They did a great job and gave me lots of room to run. This record is just as much as for them as it is for me."
Redshirt freshman Danny Croghan threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns as the Buccaneers rolled up a season-high 548 total yards.
"Certainly we are not happy with the mistakes that we made and there are definitely things that we need to improve on and get more consistent with," said CSU head coach Jamey Chadwell. "I was proud of our team for the maturity they showed when things weren't going as well as we would like. Our defense stepped up for us a bunch today. We did some good things offensively but obviously not getting points on some of those drives is something we need to correct."
Charleston Southern overcame two fumbles inside the 30-yard line and three fumbles overall, missed two field goals and an extra point, and failed to cover a shanked free kick. But CSU's defense answered the bell, coming up with two turnovers and a safety while limiting Charlotte to 305 total yards.
The Buccaneers wasted two early scoring opportunities in the first quarter, missing field goals of 35 and 29 yards after racking up 115 yards rushing in the opening period.
Charlotte got on the board first when Kalif Phillips scored on a seven-yard run with 6:08 to play in the first quarter.
Backup quarterback Kyle Copeland, who started last week's game at Colorado, replaced Croghan on CSU's fourth possession of the half. The freshman quarterback directed a 10-play, 67-yard drive, gaining 42 yards on the ground and scoring on a three-yard run with 12:20 to play in the second quarter. Copeland added a two-point conversion run to give CSU an 8-7 lead.
Copeland's second possession under center started out productive as Reyes ripped off consecutive runs of 13 and 19 yards to reach the Charlotte 25. However, Copeland was hit by Charlotte's Nico Alcalde on an option pitch, forcing a fumble which Alcalde recovered to end the drive.
Croghan returned to action for the final series of the first half and directed a nine-play, 82-yard drive in 1:40, ending the drive with a 39-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Glears, sending the Bucs to a 15-7 halftime.
"I thought that late touchdown right before half was really big for us," said Chadwell. "As frustrating as the half was, we were able to go into the locker room with a lead."
CSU amassed 302 total yards in the first half, including 209 yards on the ground. The Bucs held a nine-minute advantage in time of possession in the opening half.
The Buccaneers opened the second-half with a 58-yard scoring drive with Croghan connecting with Chris Theodore on a 14-yard touchdown pass with 10:13 to play.
Charlotte answered CSU's score with a 13-play, 84-yard drive, capped by Phillips' 14-yard run, trimming the lead to 21-14 with 6:52 remaining in the third. That would be Charlotte's only possession of the third quarter.
Charleston Southern ate up the remaining 6:52 of the third quarter with 13-play drive extending into the fourth. However, on third-and-goal from the two, Croghan fumbled while reaching the ball out for the goal line and the loose ball was recovered by Charlotte at the three-yard line.
CSU's defense stepped up, however, tackling Phillips in the end zone on second down, upping the lead to 23-14 with 14:12 remaining the in the game.
Unintentionally, the 49ers pulled off a successful shanked punt on the ensuing free kick, recovering the loose ball at the CSU 44-yard line and denying the Buccaneers a chance to milk the clock. CSU's defense held strong, forcing a punt with 12:50 left in the game.
"That was on me," said Chadwell of the mistake on the free kick.
Later in the quarter, linebacker Adam Witzmann intercepted Johnson's pass at the Charlotte 28-yard line. CSU sealed the victory with Copeland's five-yard run with 5:09 left in the game, upping the lead to 30-14.
Charlotte fumbled on its next possession, setting CSU up at the 19-yard line. Freshman Michael Holloway tacked on a five-yard run with 3:43 to play, pushing the lead to 36-14 after a botched extra point snap. Holloway finished with 81 yards on 10 carries and senior Teddy Allen had 71 yards on five carries in the fourth quarter.
Shane Rope/CSU Athletics Christian Reyes set the school single-season rushing record with now 953 yards and had 181 yards and 26 carries.×

stir fry (veges + meat)
soup (veges + meat)
I'm looking for breakfast ideas, so hoping you can spam me with your favorites or just what you're eating today/this week.
I've found that I need to have protein and fat in the morning, IF hasn't worked for me so far unless it's unintentional (like oversleeping on a weekend). But I'm also slow getting started in the morning and have a long commute, so I try to cook things on the weekend and reheat during the week.
Here is what I pre-made for this week:
Cut up fruit
Eggs scrambled with zucchini, red pepper, carrots, flaxseed meal, and grainy mustard, in coconut oil
Hash of sweet potatoes, onions, and leftover porkchops, diced up and cooked in bacon fat
stir fry (veges + meat)
soup (veges + meat)
Disclaimer: I eat 'meat and vegetables' ala Primal, although I don't agree with the carb curve. I like Perfect Health Diet and WAPF Lactofermentation a lot.
Griff's cholesterol primer
5,000 Cal Fat <> 5,000 Cal Carbs
Winterbike: What I eat every day is what other people eat to treat themselves.
TQP: I find for me that nutrition is much more important than what I do in the gym.
bloodorchid is always right
hard boiled eggs and sardines...yum
egg drop soup when it is cold out..yum
I like 2 eggs on the bed of egg whites with a fresh veggie, like a cucumber.
If I have leftover salmon, I'll eat that, because I can eat salmon for every meal.
On a carb-up day, I like quark with tomato or cucumber/radish+dill.
Crab meat and egg white sometimes for a souffle-like thinggie.
If I had good broth, hot broth with some meat (beef) or a couple of eggs poached in it makes a great breakfast.
My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I make these on the weekend and freeze them, then have a couple for breakfast. They heat well in the microwave!
Breakfast Mushroom Egg Cups
2 T butter plus more to butter pan (or use bacon grease)
4 oz sliced mushrooms
½ c chopped yellow onion
9 thin round slices of ham
1/3 c shredded Cheddar cheese
6 large eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 9 medium-size cups of muffin pan; set aside.
Melt butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook 4 minutes or until onion is tender; set aside.
Line each muffin cup with a slice of ham, with edge just above rim of pan. Spoon mushroom mixture evenly into ham-lined cups. Top each evenly with cheese. Pour beaten eggs evenly over mushrooms and cheese.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until knife inserted in centers comes out clean. Let stand in pan 2 minutes. Run table knife around edge of cups to loosen.
Makes 9.

Carbs 2.25g
Protein 11g
I just made stuffed tomatoes over the weekend. scoop out a tomato- it doesn't have to be clean, just enough room for a T or 2 of pesto (I have a lot of basil, so plenty of pesto on hand) and then crack an egg into it. I sprinkle it with a little parmesan and then bake it at 350 for about 20-30 minutes, depending on how runny I want my yolk. I made 4 for 2 of us and they were out of this world.
Honestly, I eat anything for breakfast - dinner leftovers, a can of tuna, or "normal" breakfast foods (eggs, bacon, etc.). It's all fair game to me.
On Saturday I made a pretty good breakfast of the 2-minute coconut bread with lemon juice and lemon zest added to the batter, split it in half and topped it with an apple cooked in butter and cinnamon, and topped all of that with home-made coconut cream. Slightly higher carb than my usual first meal of the day, but I had a 14-mile bike ride ahead of me so I wanted a bit of a boost!
But, really, breakfast (or any meal for that matter) is only limited if you let it! Think outside the box. I eat "breakfast for dinner" all the time, and leftovers for breakfast, too. Just eat what you're in the mood for!

This week it will be a mug of bone broth, then later a bowl of diced tomatoes, avocados and beef tongue with mustard.
No eggs anymore. I just use random kinds of meat and make various forms of "hash" or salads. Stuff like chicken livers, onions and mushrooms. Shredded pork (from some tails I bought) with peppers and onions. Ground beef with whatever veggies. Beef with tomatoes and vinegar. Salmon and avocado. Stuff like that. Basically, scrambles without the eggs. Salads without the lettuce.

Dinnertime was conference time at the Dawson household. Joseph Dawson would arrive on the break between his day and evening jobs. Precious moments would be spent with his wife and children.
About Joseph
Age: 92
Community: Charleston.
Occupation: Retired sheet metal mechanic, cab driver and cab company manager.
People will remember him: As a church-going, hard-working man who encouraged his children to aim high.
Affiliations: Emmanuel Baptist Church, Charleston; and First See Wee Missionary Baptist Church (ordained deacon), Awendaw.
Survivors include: Wife, Bessie Manigault Dawson; children, Joseph Dawson Jr. (Prestyne), Sarah D. Williams (Johnnie), Barbara D. Dilligard (Rufus), Ralph C. Dawson (Leslie) of New Rochelle, N.Y., Aaron Jose Dawson (Pearlene), Lloyd K. Dawson, Hershula R. Davis (Davey), Derrick M. Dawson (Florence), Kevin W. Dawson (Juliet), Troy C. Dawson (Kimberly), Los Angeles, CA, and Marilyn D. Brown (Darryl); and 33 grandchildren; 31 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandsons.
Over the years, it was the time set aside for his 12 children to say what happened at school and during their activities. It also was prime time for them to ask questions and for him to give answers.
"That's when we got our 'Lessons to be learned' talks," says Barbara Dilligard, former deputy Charleston County Public Schools superintendent. Dilligard, third among Dawson's 12 children, says her father's guidance usually was delivered as a story.
Dawson, a Charleston Naval Shipyard and Safety Cab Company worker, was a great storyteller, Dilligard says. He'd share stories from his youth, a friend, even a passenger in his cab, to make a point.
He'd end his stories about the perils of lying, one of his pet peeves, by saying "You might get by, but you won't get away" to make it more memorable.
Dawson was born in Awendaw on May 10, 1921, and died June 28.
He was preceded in death by a son, Ricky Dawson.
Joseph and wife Bessie Manigault Dawson raised their family on Charleston's Eastside.
They raised them in the 1960s when kids played hop scotch, made dolls with soda bottles and thought outdoor play was better than indoor.
Sometimes, Dawson would take them to visit extended family in Awendaw. Every Sunday, he took them to church.
"While he only had a third- grade education, he was quite intellectual," Dilligard says. Education was important to him, and all of his children received some type of training after high school.
"He learned about what was going on in the world from talk radio," she says. As he listened while driving cabs, he learned the different arguments about the issues of the day.
As he heard the discussions, he would evaluate whether the points made lined up with his personal beliefs.
He was not without the ability to see humor in things, rather radio discussions or something that happened at home.
Dawson, a Duke Ellington fan, treasured his 78 RPM vinyl records. But he came home one day to find many destroyed by his children. They had broken them trying to emulate contestants on "Beat the Clock," a '50s and early '60s television show where participants were challenged to accomplish tasks within a certain time.
Though listening to jazz was won of the few things he did just for him, the mental image of his children racing to beat the clock was funny, so he just laughed, Dilligard says.
"I always knew he loved me," Dilligard says. "I came from a large family, but always felt like I could be an only child. I can't ever remember a time when I needed something and they didn't try to provide that."
Her parents always catered to the children's needs, but never their wants, she says. And they always told them the reason behind their decisions.
"They talked to us in a way we understood," she says.
Ralph Dawson, the fourth child, misses having his father phone to ask: What have you done today? Have you done anything good today?"
The younger Dawson, who practices law in Manhattan with Norton Rose Fulbright (better known as Fulbright and Jaworski), says he misses the discussions he and his father had.
"I miss that exchange."
Dawson and his dad were engaged in ongoing political discussions over the past decade as the younger worked on the presidential campaigns of Howard Dean and Barack Obama.
The father liked being kept up to date on the campaigns and was thrilled by having his son introduce him to Dean, a classmate at Yale.
"A lot of his living, in a sense, had to be vicarious. The day-to-day joys of life, he got a lot of that from talking to his children."
He believed they could accomplish anything they wanted to in life.
"He was always optimistic about that. He took a lot of pride in seeing us do well."
One of the things the son learned from watching his dad was that someone could be a leader and influence others, even when that was not technically true.
"My father had a unique way of listening, honing in on what was important and speaking up at the right time.
"In that sense he could always emerge as a leader. He never thought that academic equaled intelligence.
"He was short in statue, but a giant of a man in a lot of ways," Dawson says.

Strides in biotechnology and genomics have enabled individuals to gain access to increasingly more accurate and detailed information about their genomes at decreasing costs.
While learning about individual genetic risks and susceptibilities has become more affordable, interpreting the data and establishing the optimal management strategies are opening challenges for both consumers and professionals, and many of these promise to become more pronounced as we approach the $100 genome landmark.
"As a molecular biologist, I was driven by how fast advances in genome sequencing are delivering information, and by the gap that was created and still exists in clinicians' ability to understand this type of data," says Patrick Merel, Ph.D., founder of Portable Genomics. Established last year, the firm proposed to provide a user interface to help clinicians and consumers interpret our genome data simply and without the need for an advanced degree in molecular biology.
"We came with the idea to bring digital media interfaces into genomics and organize the genome data as digital music files," says Dr. Merel. Portable Genomics mostly works with datasets provided by 23andMe, but it anticipates using full-genome data from any other provider in the near future. The list of traits that is provided after genotyping can be downloaded as a large file of raw data that contains a list of SNPs.
"We rearrange full-genome data about diseases and traits into an mp3 structure, and provide a file that can be read by iTunes or any similar software," explains Dr. Merel. The data files can be stored and shared as digital music, on various types of devices, including mp3 players, iPods, and digital TVs, and even cloud-based digital music services, such as Amazon Cloud Player, Google Play, or iTunes Match.
While it is often challenging to bring computers with 3 GB datasets to a consultation, the availability of the data on a portable device, such as a smart phone, which is supposed to have an mp3 player embedded, allows patients to share the information with healthcare providers, and a physician can rapidly sift through high-risk traits.
"By early 2015, we anticipate providing a subscription-based mobile application for the full genome for approximately $100 a year," says Dr. Merel. This visualization tool will facilitate the incorporation of genomic information into prevention strategies. "We have designed a few functionalities to help patients learn about their risks and susceptibilities and allow them to take action," explains Dr. Merel.
For example, the application can use location information to help a patient who learned about a heightened risk for breast cancer promptly identify a specialist nearby. For every trait that is reported, a function will remind patients to schedule appointments, and will do so until an appointment is made.
"If we want to help patients use genomic information for prevention, we need this kind of application, because we know that we cannot rely on people spending time to examine their genetic risks and explore the course of action," says Dr. Merel. Additionally, real-time updates will incorporate newly emerging links between mutations and risk factors. "Genomics will be such a moving field during the next 25 years that access to real-time monitoring is crucial," emphasizes Dr. Merel.
John Sterling, GEN's Editor in Chief, got in touch musically with his genetic ancestors after downloading his DNA data from 23andMe into GeneGroove, an app that turns his base pairs into a series of tunes. Push the Play button to hear what John's DNA sounds like!
An additional line of work at Portable Genomics, based on this digital media approach, is related to the idea of making music from our genome. "This concept is not something new, there are many projects that generate music from DNA sequences, but what is different is that we are bringing in the use of personal genomics for entertainment," says Dr. Merel.
An initial concern was the possibility to record the music and decipher it back into genomic information, but an algorithm developed by Dr. Merel and colleagues, which involved encoding the genomic information into a numeric key, helped address this issue.
"From the numeric key, a key that is representative of a genome, one cannot go back to the genomic data, and this allows people to play with and share the data without any privacy issues," says Dr. Merel. He and colleagues incorporated this algorithm into GeneGroove, an iPhone application that downloads 23andMe raw data, generates the numeric key, erases the genomic data, and plays a unique tune from that key.
"It seems that genomics also found a way to serious gaming applications, and can stir interest for and raise awareness about the genome among the public," notes Dr. Merel. This endeavor has already received much interest from the music industry. "We are working with major artists who have been intrigued by using their genome as a way of creation, and we found that this can impact interest among consumers for learning about their genomes," says Dr. Merel.
"Our mobile application provides a great opportunity and a great medium for people to bring their genomic data to their physicians, and this is particularly important with regard to drug response results," says Mike Polcari, head of software engineering at 23andMe.
As part of the personalized genomic services that 23andMe offers from a saliva-based test, over one million data points, obtained for every person, are analyzed and help generate approximately 246 different reports. These include disease risk reports for conditions such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, types 1 and 2 diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, reports on physical traits, a carrier status panel, and information about pharmacogenetics and genetic ancestry.
"Many of these conditions are shaped by other factors, such as lifestyle, and we make significant efforts to be very clear that our reports are informative only about the percentage of risk that is attributable to genetics," says Catherine Afarian, head of public relations at 23andMe. The mobile application released by 23andMe, free for download, is currently available for Android and iOS.
"We found that people responded very well and have also been participating in research on the mobile application in large numbers," says Polcari. Most of the high-quality health and trait reports are currently available on this mobile application. 23andMe uses a star rating system to prioritize genetic risk factors, based on the body of literature published on a specific link.
"We have four-star reports for links that are supported by more studies and have therefore been accepted by the scientific community, and we prioritize and put those onto our mobile applications first," says Afarian. For other genetic risk factors, one-, two-, or three-star reports reflect the fact that fewer studies were performed to date, and further research to replicate and validate those findings is required before placing as much confidence in them. "As new research is being done, we are constantly providing new reports to our customers," adds Afarian.

|A beef broth and tomato based soup made with smoked sausage, sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas and cabbage.
Sausage and Sweet Potato SoupThis fantastic soup was inspired by a recipe I saw while flipping through an old cookbook of mine, Is It Soup Yet? - A Cookbook for Soup Lovers. Actually it's a 1998 cookbook and not really all that old, but I guess in terms of a cookbook, it's practically vintage these days.
It's out of print now, but available pretty cheap used at Amazon if you're interested. The reason I bought it, besides the fact that I love soup of course, was for the pretty illustrations it contained. I think I love these kinds of cookbooks as much, maybe even more, than the ones that are beautifully photographed!
The illustrator here is Shelly Reeves Smith and I think her work is beautiful, don't you? I have a couple that she has illustrated, but her latest was At Our Table: Favorite Recipes to Share with the People You Love, issued last year. Check out the link if you want to see some other illustrated cookbooks, but be careful. I can't promise they won't hook you too. I just think they're lovely and they make me smile so thought I'd share these treasures with y'all!
Anyway, when I saw the combination of sweet potatoes with sausage in a soup, I have to say I was intrigued. Y'all already know I am pretty much a soup kinda gal anyway, but I have to say I absolutely adored this one. It will definitely be one for the regular rotation of favorite soups in my kitchen. The smoked sausage, sweet potato and black-eyed peas really are a fantastic combination of complimentary flavors I think you'll love.
I used the basic ingredients of the original recipe as a start, but switched some things up and completely changed the methodology. I decided to use Rotel tomatoes because I thought the spicy tomatoes would be a great enhancement to the sweet potatoes, so I have to give a heads up that this soup definitely has a healthy bite to it! I loved it of course, but simply use a mild smoked sausage and substitute a can of regular diced tomato to make it a little less on the wild side if you prefer. If you're watching your sodium use lower sodium products and be sure to drain and rinse the black-eyed peas.
This soup is easy as pie and can be on your table in no time, even though it tastes like it simmered much longer. We start with a saute of The Trinity and add in some smoked sausage.
Stir in some chopped sweet potatoes, beef stock, and Rotel or regular diced tomatoes. Add a can of black-eyed peas, tomato juice, salt and pepper.
Stir in some shredded cabbage, mix it all together and let it simmer about 20 to 25 minutes and you're ready to eat. Yes. That's it!
Recipe: Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup with Black-eyed Peas©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 6 servings
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped celery
- 1/2 pound of andouille or other spicy smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 3 cups)
- 2 cups of beef stock or broth
- 1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can of black-eyed peas, undrained
- 1 cup of tomato juice or V-8
- 1/4 of a small head of cabbage, sliced (about 1-1/2 cups)
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 5 turns of the pepper grinder
Heat the oil in a soup pot or 4 to 6 quart Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery; saute for about 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook another 3 minutes, then add the sweet potatoes. Add the beef stock, Rotel, black-eyed peas, tomato juice, cabbage, salt and pepper; stir, bring up to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
Cook's Notes: I used Conecuh sausage and Rotel diced tomatoes, making this a fairly spicy soup. If you prefer a milder version, simply substitute one can of regular diced tomatoes, undrained, in place of the Rotel and use a milder smoked sausage.

DOTS was originated in a little place hidden on a farm in northern CT. DOTS stands for Dyslexia Of The Speech. This occurs when something you says comes out completely wrong. No one may understand, but when you said it, it made perfect sense. Though sometimes embaressing, DOTS provokes tons of laughs... it can be used as an expression to categorize it, you can 'have' DOTS.
Example 1:
Hutch: "Hey, pass the milk."
Jess: "Pa - uh - meh - sss"
Hutch "Okay?"
Jess: " I was trying to say passing..."
Both: HAHAHAHHAHA
Example 2:
Jess: "That cat stupid,
okay, I meant that stupid cat..."
Momo: DOTS!!!
Hutch: "Hey, pass the milk."
Jess: "Pa - uh - meh - sss"

How to make the clothes you got for Christmas last at least until next year
It's a good bet you ended up with some new threads under the tree this year. Clothing was the fifth most popular Christmas gift this holiday season, ahead of video games, jewelry and even alcohol, according to a report by Nielsen.
And while you'll probably end up in the return lines like everyone else, at least some of the clothes you got were probably serviceable enough to hold on to. Here are some tips to help it last at least until you can re-up next year.

Seven Blair County women were honored for their good works at an annual tribute dinner Wednesday evening.
Mary Burgoon, Sue Whiteford Johnson, Vi Whiting, Christine A. Lysinger, Patricia A. Labriola, Jackie Clouser and Arianna De Reus were honored at the 2013 WISE Women of Blair County Tribute Honoree dinner.
Awards were given to Burgoon, 88, Hollidaysburg, for Lifetime Achievement; Johnson, 54, Bellwood, for Community Service Volunteer; Whiting, 70, Hollidaysburg, for Arts & Letters; Lysinger, 59, Altoona, for Nonprofit/Government; Labriola, 60, of Altoona, for Education; Clouser, 41, Hollidaysburg, for Business & Professional; and De Reus, 20, Hollidaysburg, for Rising Star.

Education Award recipient Patricia A. Labriola (right) of Altoona hands the microphone to Tribute Committee Chairwoman and emcee Diane Osgood during the 2013 WISE Women of Blair County Tribute Honoree Dinner at the The Casino at Lakemont Park on Wednesday.
In the last five years, WISE Women has given more than $90,000 in grants and scholarships, the evening's emcee and Tribute Committee Chairwoman Diane Osgood said.
Attendance was at its highest this year with about 250 people and higher advertising support, she said.
"So it's an extraordinarily successful event we feel this year, and we're thrilled to have these women recognized," she said of the "stellar group."
In her acceptance speech, Burgoon talked about other people who could have easily stood in her place.
But her nephew, John Pendergrast, who gave a video tribute to his aunt, said she is the embodiment of the Bible scripture from Matthew about giving to those less fortunate.
The world contains talkers and doers, and Burgoon is both, and she does her good works "humbly" and "quietly," he said.
Burgoon, who has helped others through several groups, including the Pennsylvania Prison Society and the settlement of Vietnamese families, said it was easy for her to give because she was blessed in her own life.
The good works of the other recipients were also recognized.
Among her many efforts, De Reus, a sophomore at Penn State's University Park campus and a community environment and development major, has volunteered in such places as Panama, building latrines for a Kuna community and at Panzi Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo, teaching art and English to children of rape survivors.
"Despite her youth ... Arianna has already created a legacy of devotion to humanitarian causes," Penn State Altoona Chancellor Lori J. Bechtel-Wherry said of De Reus' program book biography.
Kate Shaffer, who nominated Whiting, said in her biography, "From decorating tables, to soliciting silent auction donations, distributing publicity posters and even making incredibly delicious peanut chocolate candy, Vi's positive energy in volunteering her time and talent knows no boundaries."
Whiting is the Altoona Symphony Orchestra board president and a Blair County Arts Foundation board member.
Clouser is founder and CEO of Kids First.
Amber Brick, New Steps program director, said in Clouser's biography that she is a woman of integrity who believes in the greater good. She said, "there is no doubt Jackie's contributions to Blair County are far reaching."
William Abbott Jr. said in Johnson's biography that her "commitment to serve has led the way for other women to do the same and moved them to get involved in meeting the needs of the community while responding to the call of civic obligation."
Johnson, a volunteer at Bellwood-Antis community events, is involved in several groups including Bellwood-Antis Council of Churches. She also served on the Bellwood Borough Council for eight years.
Labriola, a retired teacher and co-founder of Project SOAR for the Altoona Area School District, "has taken every opportunity to help others realize that our students, the 'citizens of tomorrow,' need to be given every opportunity to be the 'best they can be,'" Kathy O'Rourke, Project SOAR co-creator, said in her biography.
Lysinger is the director of the Blair County Assistance Office, Department of Public Welfare.
Flo Shuss, WISE Women board of directors secretary, said in Lysinger's biography that she is "a quiet, steady force in helping those who are going through a very trying time with family, jobs and economics," and Marie Cunningham said in Lysinger's biography she has led the Department of Public Welfare "through often very difficult and trying transitions."
Osgood knew several of the honorees, but it was important to learn of those "who have contributed so much to this community," she said.

A training workshop for regional emergency responders was interrupted with a real-life incident Friday afternoon, when a single-engine plane carrying three men crashed just short of the runway near Canaan Valley Resort.
All three victims were flown via helicopter to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, said Tucker County emergency officials at the scene.
The pilot of the Cessna 172 suffered critical injuries and had to be extricated from the plane wreckage, while the other two victims got out on their own and were walking around after the crash, said Robert Metzger, a captain with Canaan Valley Volunteer Fire Department.

Tucker County emergency responders block off the scene where a single-engine plane crashed early Friday afternoon at the Windwood Fly-In Resort near Davis, injuring the aircraft's pilot and two passengers.
This Cessna 172 crashed at 12:40 p.m. Friday in a wooded area that is part of the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
Officials did not know where the men were from or the extent of their injuries.
The crash occurred at 12:40 p.m. when the plane was trying to land at Windwood Fly-In Resort near Davis, although officials were not yet able to determine exactly what caused the plane to go down about a quarter of a mile short of the airstrip. They also weren't able to determine the plane's owner, its origin or its destination.
Sandy Green, chief of the Canaan Valley VFD and the incident commander, said officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash. The site was in a wooded area that is part of the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Several vacation homes are located nearby.
Metzger was the first emergency official to respond to the scene, and he said fuel was leaking from the aircraft.
"We used foam to wet down the area to prevent any chance of fire," he said, adding the next step was to bring in extrication tools.
Metzger said the pilot was doing "touch and go," which is a term for landing at a runway and taking off again.
"It's practice for pilots," he said.
Regional emergency workers were preparing Friday for their own practice, a monthly session called TACTICs, which stands for Tucker All Hazards Conference Training in Canaan. Metzger said he was at the fire station, preparing for a TACTICs class that he will teach this weekend, when the emergency call came in for the crash.
"That's why I got here so fast," he said, adding emergency responders from Tucker and Davis fire departments assisted at the crash site, along with the West Virginia State Police and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Metzger said everyone worked together to assess the incident and make sure the victims were cared for properly.
"All in all, I think it went very smoothly," Metzger said, in terms of the emergency response. "It's not every day that we do aircraft."
Green called the responders' efforts "tremendous" and noted everyone's training kicked in just the way it should.
"It was, as always in this type of situation, chaotic for a few minutes, until we got our hands around it," Green said. "It was a total team effort."
He noted he wanted to thank everyone who helped out, including Darla Stemple, director of the Tucker County Office of Emergency Management and the 911 center; Hollis Lipscomb of the Canaan Valley VFD, who was in charge of the extrication; and Richard Zane, deputy refuge manager for the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
Tucker County emergency services spokesman Chris Stadelman said luckily, there haven't been many aircraft crashes in the Canaan Valley area. He recalled a plane crash at Windwood about 15 years ago, as well as a fatal helicopter crash that occurred in Tucker County on Oct. 30, 2010.
"That was the last major incident that I can remember," Stadelman said of the helicopter crash, which killed an electric lineman.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - California officers arrested a 21-year-old Nevada man late Tuesday evening after authorities said he led officers in a high-speed pursuit across both states at speeds faster than 100 mph.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Kody Nicholas Strong, 21, of Sparks, Nev., was driving at about 120 mph in a police pursuit westbound on Interstate 80 toward California from Reno in a stolen silver Toyota Corola at about 10:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Nevada Highway Patrol units pursued Strong, and the vehicle across the California state line, where Truckee CHP was standing by at the Farad Road on-ramp to westbound I-80.
The Toyota, driving at about 100 mph, hit a spike strip set up nearby, according to CHP, at which point a patrol unit began pursuit as the Toyota accelerated up Iceland grade at about 40 mph.
Just after 11 p.m., Strong yielded to the right shoulder just east of Hirschdale, as the vehicle's tires were rapidly disintegrating, and Truckee CHP officers arrested him.
According to a CHP arrest report, officers recovered a "folding and locking knife" from Strong.
Strong was booked at the Nevada County Sheriff's station in Nevada City early Wednesday morning without further incident.

Hillary Clinton Reflects on Her Own Mom
Vogue published a Mother's Day excerpt of Hillary Clinton's forthcoming memoir "Hard Choices," on Sunday. In the excerpt, Mrs. Clinton — whose daughter, Chelsea, is pregnant with Mrs. Clinton's first grandchild– reflects on her relationship with her own mother, Dorothy Howell Rodham, who died in 2011. The book is set to be released June 10.
"I'm preparing for a new role that I've looked forward to for years: grandmother," Mrs. Clinton writes. "And I've found myself thinking a lot about my relationship with my own mom, as an adult as well as in childhood, and what lessons I learned from her."
Mrs. Clinton had written about her mother previously in her "Living History" memoir, and revisits the harrowing tales of her mother's childhood.
Here are some highlights from the Vogue excerpt:
On the last years of her mother's life, when she lived with the Clintons:
Having her so close became a source of great comfort to me, especially in the difficult period after the end of the 2008 campaign. I'd come home from a long day at the Senate or the State Department, slide in next to her at the small table in our breakfast nook, and let everything just pour out.
On her mother's traumatic childhood:
In Chicago her parents fought frequently and divorced when she and her sister were young. Neither parent was willing to care for the kids, so they were put on a train to California to live with their paternal grandparents …. The elderly couple was severe and unloving. One Halloween, after Mom was caught trick-or-treating with school friends, a forbidden activity, she was confined to her room for an entire year, except for the hours she was in school. …By the time Mom turned fourteen, she could no longer bear life in her grandmother's house. She moved out and found work as a housekeeper and nanny for a kindhearted woman in San Gabriel who offered room and board plus $3 a week and urged her to attend high school. For the first time she saw how loving parents care for their children—it was a revelation.
On how her mother survived this:
When I got old enough to understand all this, I asked my mother how she survived abuse and abandonment without becoming embittered and emotionally stunted. … I'll never forget how she replied. "At critical points in my life somebody showed me kindness," she said. Sometimes it would seem so small, but it would mean so much—the teacher in elementary school who noticed that she never had money to buy milk, so every day would buy two cartons of milk and then say, "Dorothy, I can't drink this other carton of milk. Would you like it?"
On her mother's death in 2011:
When I lost my father in 1993, it felt too soon, and I was consumed with sadness for all the things he would not live to see and do. This was different. Mom lived a long and full life. This time I wept not for what she would miss but for how much I would miss her. … I found myself sitting next to her empty chair in the breakfast nook and wishing more than anything that I could have one more conversation, one more hug.

Guy Fieri Defends Restaurant After New York Times Review
But the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host – the 10th highest-paid chef in the country – is not taking the Times attack by food critic Pete Wells lying down, either.
"I just thought it was ridiculous," Fieri said on Thursday's Today show, after flying all night to appear on the program to defend his 2-month-old Guy's American Kitchen & Bar in Times Square, the target of Wells's scathing attack.
"I've read reviews. There's good and there's bad in the restaurant business," Fieri said. "That one went overboard."
The review lit up Facebook and Twitter as Wells skewered the service, food and drinks – one of which, a blue concoction (a margarita, actually), was likened to nuclear waste.
"And when we hear the words Donkey Sauce," Wells asked in his critique, written after four visits to the establishment, "which part of the donkey are we supposed to think about?"
"I've been in the restaurant business 25 years. Do we do it perfect? No. Do we strive to do it perfect? Yes," said Fieri, adding that Wells "came in with a different agenda."
Interviewer Savannah Guthrie pointed out that reviews of Guy's American Kitchen & Bar on Yelp were only mediocre at best, averaging two and a half stars out of a possible five. But Fieri replied, "People see me as a TV guy. I'm really a chef," and said of his restaurant, "I think that will change. It's two months now. Let's see where it is in six months."
Insisting that the restaurant – all 500 seats of it – is his heart and soul, Fieri went on say, "Do I think I've fallen short? By no means. [But] do we make mistakes? Absolutely."
