Winter months are a good time to do some activities that we don't have time for other months of the year. Finding an interesting hobby is one of those.
Before Christmas, we had a visit from friends that live down in Shreve. Joe and Edie are both retired from the military and enjoy living in rural Wayne County. Joe bought a quality scroll saw several years ago and has become very good at making wooden items with it.
We talked about some of the intricate items he has made over the years. Since he was in the military, he has made several patriotic pieces. He has the patience and skill to make that scroll saw really perform.
Several days after they were here, the mail brought a beautiful piece he had taken a lot of time to cut out. It is 4 1/2 inches high, 4 inches wide and has a wooden bow at the top with a heart below. In the heart are two elderly people that look like Grandpa and Grandma. Joe's workmanship was perfect, with inside and outside cuts made without a flaw. The piece took a lot of skill and patience.
We can hang this anyplace where we can enjoy it because it is a nice conversation piece. It will also look good on the Christmas tree in December.
Also before Christmas, we were visiting with our neighbor Neil, who lives a couple of houses down the street. Neil's wife is the pastor of our church. He is also very good with the scroll saw and was cutting out small animals to go in the Noah's ark that he has made. They were small and not very easy to work with, but Neil said, "I even put the teeth in the alligator."
That tells you how detailed they are and the time and patience he took to cut them out.
Several years ago, we had a friend, Bill from Columbus, stay with us for a few days. When he got back home, he sent us eight Christmas ornaments he had cut out with his scroll saw. They were also perfectly done, and every year when we take them out of the box, we think again about Bill.
Several years ago I got interested in scroll saw work after seeing what others had done and reading about the saws. So I bought one, not as good as Joe's, Bill's or Neil's, but it will do reasonably good work, as long as I get it set up right.
It does take some know-how to decide the number of teeth you want on the blade, the thickness, blade tension and speed. These are determined by the kind and thickness of the wood you are working with and how intricate the various cuts are in the piece you want to make.
After breaking several blades, and the saw does clatter when a blade breaks, and practicing on several scraps of wood, I got so I could do fairly well. Not nearly as good as my friends, but good enough to work on a couple of pieces.
I found a plan for a pivoting, swing-out quilt crane that I wanted to make. The brackets needed a scroll saw to cut out, and my wood was either cherry or walnut from my brother's woods. It was three-fourths of an inch thick and not real easy to work with. The quilt-display projects were interesting to make, and I made one for Betty, one for my daughter Jill, who is a quilter, and two for friends. Yes, I broke some blades in the process.
Since a few health problems and being busy with my writing and some community activities, I have not done much in my wood shop. I keep saying to Betty that I am going to get back down there because I like to work with my hands. But it could be that I have lost some self-confidence in working with power tools. I need to get that back.
If time is heavy on your hands this winter, get out and find a hobby and enjoy it.

A select group of South Carolina's top football players will participate in the 2013 Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl. Eighty-eight athletes will represent their schools Dec. 14 in Myrtle Beach for the 66th annual all-star game. The players divide equally into two groups - 44 players comprise the respective North and South squads.
Trevor Pederson, a wide reciever from Wando High School was named to the South's roster. Wando head coach Jimmy Noonan is one of the assistant coaches for the South's team.
"We have an outstanding collection of student-athletes this year," said Keith Richardson, co-director of the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl. "We have a lot of talented football players on these two rosters. And just as vital, so many of these young men have displayed exceptional character off the field as well."
There were more than 300 nominations forwarded to the all-star selection committee. The list narrowed to a final roster of 88 athletes on Oct. 28 in Columbia.
"One of our top priorities in the selection process is ensuring every region of South Carolina is represented in this game," said Shell Dula, executive director of the South Carolina Athletics Coaches Association. "We've always maintained the philosophy that this event represents the entire state, and I believe the diverse group of players who were selected reflects that goal."
On Sunday, Dec. 8, all 88 players report to Myrtle Beach. Twice daily practices for each team begin the following morning and continue through Friday afternoon.
"It's a busy week for the coaches and players," says Richardson. "But we strive to make this a memorable event for the athletes. This is their opportunity to showcase their skills and gain recognition for their hard work and dedication."
"We know how important football is to so many of the communities we serve," said Mike Couick, president and CEO of The Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina. "We're honored to have the opportunity to recognize all the outstanding young men participating in this year's game."
The 2013 Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl takes place at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium in North Myrtle Beach on Dec. 14 at noon.
Fans unable to attend can watch the game streamed live at www.htc.com (A production of Horry Telephone Cooperative).
A live radio broadcast of the game can be heard on many affiliates of the South Carolina Radio Network.
Advance tickets for the game can be purchased online for $15 online: https://touchstonebowlgame.eventbrite.com
Tickets will be available at the gate on game day for $20.
Created by the South Carolina Athletics Coaches Association in 1947, the all-star game is in its 66th consecutive year.
During halftime of the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl, the five finalists for South Carolina's Mr. Football award will be recognized. The 2013 recipient will be announced at that time.

The treasurer of the parent-teacher organization at Orchard Park Middle School and her husband have been charged with stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the PTO, but the stolen money has been repaid, authorities and PTO records confirmed Monday.
Elizabeth M. Losardo, 52, of Manor Lane, Hamburg, was charged with third-degree grand larceny, a felony, and falsifying business records, Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew D. Benz said.
Her husband, Daniel J. Losardo Jr., 45, was charged with third-degree grand larceny.
Both Losardos, charged after arrest warrants were issued Aug. 22, were arraigned the next day, when they were released on their own recognizance, police said. Orchard Park's Central District PTO first met with town police Detective John K. Payne on Aug. 6.
Law enforcement sources said Monday they believe that the amount of stolen money was between $20,000 and $30,000, although the investigation continues, and the figure could be higher.
Investigators believe that Elizabeth Losardo, as PTO treasurer, had an ATM card and that her husband may have used the card to make cash withdrawals, possibly to feed a gambling problem.
"It appears she was altering the business records so that they didn't accurately reflect what was in the account," said one law enforcement source familiar with the probe.
The Losardos are scheduled to appear before Orchard Park Town Justice Edward A. Pace on Nov. 20, but the felony case is expected to be moved to downtown Buffalo.
"Right now, the evidence is likely to be presented to the grand jury, unless the parties come to some other resolution," Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said Monday.
The money has been paid back, according to the minutes from the Oct. 9 meeting of the Middle School PTO.
"The current PTO financial issues of missing monies from last year were discussed. All monies have been returned, and appropriate legal steps have been taken by the PTO," the published minutes say, based on the report of Principal David P. Lilleck.
The PTO at Orchard Park Central is governed by an umbrella central council, and each school has its own officers, including presidents and treasurers. While PTOs are affiliated with specific schools and often work together with the school district, they are separate organizations with separate budgets.
"It wasn't district or taxpayer money," School Superintendent Matthew P. McGarrity said.
While district officials have been kept informed of the situation, they have not been involved with the investigation, McGarrity said, and the PTO worked with law enforcement.
"The PTO," he said, "wanted to make sure we were aware of what is going on."

A proposal to "ban the box" on Buffalo job applications, the question that asks if an applicant has a criminal history, is being revived in the Common Council – and so is the expected debate.
A similar effort occurred last year, but it has been under review since it was introduced.
The argument against asking the question on job applications is that many times people who have served time or been convicted of minor offenses don't even get an interview after checking that box.
It's one reason ex-cons have higher unemployment rates.
The argument for asking the question on applications is that employers should know about a criminal background from the beginning.
Nearly a year after Council Majority Leader Demone Smith first suggested the city "ban the box" on job applications for employers in the city, as more than 40 other local governments have done, the Council will consider again Tuesday enacting the law.
But this measure is expected to inspire more debate than many of the measures that come before the Council.
"I don't think this will be a quick turnaround," Smith said.
There are 7,000 county residents who are in prison, on probation or parole, and thousands more who have convictions but are not under supervision, said Jeffrey Conrad, regional director of the Center for Employment Opportunities.
Making a decision not to hire someone solely based on a criminal past is against the law, but Conrad said that many ex-cons are not granted an interview once the box is checked.
"Really, what this does is, it allows people to get in the door and give them a chance to get beyond the conviction and get them a job," he said of the proposed law.
Criminal records are public and easily can be found, said Fillmore Council Member David A. Franczyk, who said he hasn't made up his mind about the proposal.
"We should know about an applicant," he said.
The measure would require all employers in the city, with some exceptions, to remove any questions relating to criminal history from job applications.
The city and its vendors would also be covered by the law.
The law does not prevent asking questions about a criminal history during job interviews.
Exempted employers would include law enforcement agencies, schools, employers with fewer than 15 workers, and organizations that work with children, young adults, senior citizens or people with disabilities.
Employers who violate the ordinance would be subject to fines of up to $1,000.
In other Council business last week:
• A proposal for a facility to house former federal inmates near East Ferry Street and Bailey Avenue was approved.
The halfway house planned for a former glass factory at 73 Leslie St. is not near many houses, and it will provide job-training and supervision, said Franczyk. He toured Firetree Ltd.'s Syracuse operation before he agreed to approve the project.
• A self-serve frozen yogurt shop won approval to locate at 802 Elmwood Ave., the former home of Dolci Bakery. White Rabbit Frozen Yogurt plans to open June 1, said owner Andy Kondola.
• A new pizza shop was granted approval to open at the corner of Allen Street and Elmwood Avenue. Allentown Pizza will open at 197 Allen St. on June 1, said owner Joe Mahiques.
• A small expansion of Acropolis OPA restaurant at 708 Elmwood Ave. was approved. Owner Paul Tsouflides plans to enclose an area to create a new hallway and will expand to make room for a cooler.
• The Council voted to lower the first-time fee for food trucks from $1,000 to $800 and changed the boundaries of the downtown special vending district, allowing food trucks at Canalside.
• Three appointments were made: Franz H. Ross, certified general real estate appraiser, was appointed to the Appraisal Review Board; Don Gilbert, former vice president of the Allentown Association, was appointed to the Preservation Board; and Michael J. Finn, a principal engineer with the Department of Public Works, was appointed to the Water Board.

The Wall Street Journal is
reporting that a new version of Apple's iPad -- one with a faster
processor and at least a front-facing camera -- is now being manufactured.
Despite earlier
reports of improved resolution, the unnamed sources in the WSJ report
fail to corroborate that rumor, saying that the new iPad will have a resolution
similar to its first-generation cohort. "People familiar with the
situation said Apple has had trouble improving the display technology, in part
because of the iPad screen's larger size compared with the iPhone," WSJ reports.
the new device is allegedly lighter and thinner than the current iPad, will
boast more memory, a more powerful GPU, and will sport at least a front-facing
camera for video conferencing.
Since its
debut in last April, the iPad has reportedly
moved 14.8 million units. The iPad 2 is expected to launch in the next
few months, and will be available from both Verizon and AT&T at roughly the
same price as the current model. Analysts Piper Jaffray & Co. predict
Apple will move 27 million iPads this year, while others predict a number as
high as 35 million units.
Meanwhile, research
firm IHS iSuppli believes that the iPad's market share could decline to less
than 50% of the tablet market that by 2013.
quote: I and others just don't like how simple minded people are when they fall for the marketing tricks of Jobs and co.
quote: If a tablet isn't meant to replace a laptop and a laptop isn't meant to replace a desktop then you basically have 4 devices to do almost the exact same things:
quote: That just doesn't make sense to me.
quote: The iPad isn't a good product for most people.
quote: And to be honest, it is great to have another option. I and others just don't like how simple minded people are when they fall for the marketing tricks of Jobs and co.
quote: The simpler solution is that Apple saw an opportunity and went for it
quote: Why do people leave these things off of their quotes?
quote: I was addressing the fad.
quote: And yes people who follow a fad are simple minded (with respect to that fad. They might be geniuses regarding other things).
quote: This is Apple saying that blue is the new black and nearly nothing more.
quote: If HP, MS, Sony or anyone else would've done the same exact thing (even with a real OS on it), it would be a different story.

on November 11, 2012 - 1:36 AM
Every week, no matter its record, the University at Buffalo has been confronted by the two basic questions. Where is the program headed? Do the Bulls have the right coach in place who can take them there? And with nearly three seasons in the books under Jeff Quinn, there is no definitive answer to either.
Division I college football still hasn't taken hold in Buffalo, in part because the Bulls have provided few reasons for which people can latch their loyalty. Former coach Turner Gill and UB's lone bowl appearance are long gone along with the temporary euphoria that accompanied the 2008 Mid-American Conference championship.
UB football has mostly been met with indifference since making the commitment to Division I in 1999. D-I was cool. It was an upgrade. It was a reason to check the crawler on ESPN. Really, though, the community has been slow to wrap its arms around the Bulls save a few weeks of arousal four years ago.
Now, you can sense they're getting closer. How close? It's too early in Quinn's tenure to say, really. UB took another step Saturday with a 29-24 victory over Western Michigan after blowing a 17-0 lead. A year ago, UB likely would have fallen apart and lost, 31-17. On Saturday, they regrouped and showed maturity Quinn had needed for two-plus seasons.
"I've seen this team grow," Quinn said. "We've been close. We've been knocking on the door. We busted down another one today. That just adds to what this process is all about. It takes time, you bet. Maybe here it takes a little longer. We're starting to see that unfold."
The announced attendance (see: tickets sold) was 11,012 Saturday for UB's final home game of the season. There were roughly 2,000 fans in the stands, a generous estimate but about the average in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, three times as many watched a high school game between Canisius and St. Joe's.
Quinn knows the only way to change the collective attitude toward UB is by stacking victories and getting into contention in the conference. UB supporters bemoan the relentless middle of the schedule this year. It's true only because they had an inferior team. At some point, they need to become a brutal team to play against.
Is Quinn the right guy to lead them?
The results alone would suggest change is in order. Quinn has an 8-26 record overall since taking over for Gill, a 6-17 record in the MAC. New Athletic Director Danny White has no inherent allegiance to Quinn, who has two full seasons remaining on his contract. White didn't hire him. He could easily make an argument that replacing Quinn with his own guy is a step toward progress.
But changing coaches isn't the answer. UB needs to change the culture. Buffalo's reputation makes it a nightmare for recruiting, but speaks to a regional problem more than academics or athletics. UB is a terrific school with tremendous athletic potential. Nothing improves a program like winning.
"It's hard to see it externally," Quinn said. "I've seen it internally. The beautiful part of this is that I've watched this team keep digging, keep fighting. They're a resilient group of young men. That's how you secure wins. Now we have to take that next step."
Quinn had never been a college head coach before arriving in Buffalo, a fact that has shown up from time to time. He has made his share of blunders. His play-calling has been suspect at times, confounding at others. He's hardly shown offensive genius that many expected when he arrived, but perhaps he was limited by his personnel.
You would hope, at this stage of his coaching development, that he has learned from his mistakes. He started five seniors Saturday, but only defensive end Steven Means would be considered an impact player. A coaching change would eliminate familiarity he built with his underclassmen, a comfort that eventually turns into production.
"You're starting to see the strides we all knew would come at the beginning," receiver Alex Neutz said. "It's everybody buying in and believing. Coach Quinn is a great coach. He bleeds this sport. It trickles down to his players. We're finally starting to click. We're finally starting to get it."
Quinn found his quarterback with redshirt freshman Joe Licata, who all but secured the starting job with another good game Saturday. Licata has a strong arm and looked more comfortable with every series against Western Michigan. He completed 21-of-33 passes for 285 yards and the winning touchdown to Neutz in the fourth quarter.
Licata has the strong arm and quick release of a Division I passer. Branden Oliver, whose absence for five-plus games left UB without its top running back, is a junior and could wind up in the NFL. Quinn will have another season with Neutz, their top receiver, who has 10 touchdowns this season.
Linebacker Khalil Mack, a dominant player, also has another year left. Cornerback Courtney Lester, who had three interceptions Saturday, is a sophomore. UB intercepted Alex Carder four times. None was bigger than the last one, when sophomore linebacker Willie Moseley picked off a pass in the fourth quarter.
"You look at the players doing a volume of work, it's a lot of juniors, sophomores, freshmen," Quinn said. "That's a great sign. These kids are starting to get that success, get that taste. Once you start to go down that road, and you know what it takes, and you're rewarded with a win, it builds a tremendous amount of confidence."
Back-to-back victories over mediocrities Miami and Western Michigan aren't enough to define a turnaround, but it's a start. UB should win its third straight game next week against lowly Massachusetts. Another in the season finale against Bowling Green would bring them to 5-7.
Where is it going? It's still not clear.
But it's not going backward.

DELAND, Fla. – The Stetson University men's tennis team has announced the signing of incoming freshman Loic Blanco for the 2015 season. Blanco hails from Demye, France and was ranked as high as 17th in his home country during the 2014 season.
Blanco has had a decorated amateur career, finishing fifth overall in France's High School Championship this past season, and was a department junior winner in 2013.
"Loic is a great fit for our team as his credentials, both athletically and academically are excellent," said associate head tennis coach Christophe Noblet. "He is eager to compete and he comes from a family with a great tradition of athletic talents."
Blanco's household is no stranger to athletic accolades as his great-grandfather was a professional soccer player for Real Madrid and his father was a well renowned skier. The soon to be freshman had a stellar final season as a high school player, defeating six ranked opponents. He will join fellow countryman Nathan Debut (Toulon, France), who will be a senior on the Hatters' squad next season.

On the first of six episodes of OWN's new docu-series Finding Sarah, Sarah Ferguson will meet with experts Dr. Phil and Suze Orman as she begins to share what the network calls in a press release "her toughest challenge yet, rebuilding her life and career" after a scandal last year left the Duchess of York at "rock bottom."
In a clip of the show, which is described as "candid and unprecedented series" that follows the Ferguson's "emotional struggle to find herself and happiness," she takes a ride through London to revisit her past.
Stopping at Buckingham Palace, she says, "There's my old house."
While snacking on candy in the back of the car, the Duchess recalls her wedding to Prince Andrew in 1986. "This is my view," she says of the Victoria Memorial in front of the palace, where crowds gathered recently to see Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge kiss after the royal wedding, to which Ferguson was not invited.
"They call that the wedding cake. When I got married, everyone went round the wedding cake," she says. "I've had a wonderful, lucky life, haven't I?"
Finding Sarah premieres Sunday on (9 p.m. ET) OWN.

Alpha shares up on smaller-than-expected loss
BRISTOL, Va. - Alpha Natural Resources' third-quarter loss significantly widened due to weaker coal revenue and special charges.
But the loss was smaller than Wall Street had anticipated and the company lowered its mining cost forecasts.
The Bristol, Va., company posted a loss of $458.2 million, or $2.07 per share, for the quarter that ended Sept. 30. That is compared with a loss of $46.1 million, or 21 cents per share, last year.
On an adjusted basis, it lost 61 cents per share. Revenue fell 27 percent to $1.19 billion.
Analysts were anticipating a loss of 76 cents per share on revenue of $1.18 billion.
Alpha also said that it has made significant progress toward settling a class action case brought by Massey stockholders alleging deficiencies in Massey's disclosure of safety information.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Six of the seven companies on this list focus on cancer drug development, with eye disorders, inflammation, and myelofibrosis among other treatment specialties. [© ArtFamily - Fotolia.com]
Below are seven biotech businesses that have been cited by analysts this year as among the most likely candidates for acquisition by larger biotech partners or pharma giants, mostly for what they have done right in recent years: successfully launching new products, building those products into successful franchises through multiple indications, and developing safe and effective new drugs, often in collaboration with larger partners.
For each company mentioned, this list furnishes descriptions of their biopharma focus, their key product(s) and pipeline, reasons why analysts found them attractive, and reference sources—which in one case included a recent GEN interview of an analyst who contributed to her firm's report on the topic in January.
Interestingly, if not surprisingly, six of the seven companies focus on cancer drug development, with eye disorders, inflammation, and myelofibrosis among other treatment specialties of the potential takeover targets.
Reflecting how fluid these analyses can be, one of the seven biotechs found itself just a few days ago as the subject of takeover speculation that led to news headlines, followed by no-comment statements from the company and its reported suitor.
Focus: Develops and commercializes oncology drugs
Key products and pipeline: Iclusig® (ponatinib) launched in January following December 2012 FDA approval for chronic myeloid leukemia and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, both for patients resistant or intolerant to prior TKI therapy. Pipeline largely consists of new Iclusig indications, led by newly diagnosed patients in Phase III and seven more in Phase II. AP26113 for non-small cell lung cancer is in a Phase I/II trial, updated data for which was to be presented September 28 at the European Cancer Congress.
Why attractive: Iclusig has been projected by Cowen & Co. to reach $625 million in 2017 and more than $1 billion ultimately in annual sales; it generated $20.3 million in the first half of 2013, but sales are expected to zoom as new indications are approved. AP26113 has been expected to enter Phase III trial by year's end.
Focus: Develops and commercializes drugs for "serious" diseases and medical conditions
Key products and pipeline: Four orphan drugs on the market led by Naglazyme® (galsulfase), an enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI). Pipeline led by GALNS, a treatment for rare lysosomal storage disorder Morquio A syndrome.
Why attractive: At the center of an unconfirmed Deal Reporter story September 19 that Roche was looking to acquire the company with $15 billion in debt financing it is reportedly working to line up. BioMarin dismissed the report as "rumors" and declined comment; Roche also refused comment, with CEO Severin Schwan telling Bloomberg it doesn't need to raise capital given its CHF 3.6 billion ($3.9 billion) in cash and equivalents as of June 30.
Naglazyme generated $257 million in sales last year, up 14% from 2011, and is company's best-selling product. GALNS wowed investors last year with strong Phase III trial data showing patients taking a 2 mg/kg dose walked 22.5 meters farther compared with placebo. One potential challenge, however, is its valuation of more than $9 billion: "Any premium is going to test Big Pharma's appetite for major deals," Jim Cramer told CNBC.
Karen Andersen, CFA and senior analyst, biotechnology at Morningstar told GEN BioMarin is attractive because "the firm has several rare disease products on the market, a large late-stage pipeline, and every indication that this pipeline growth will be sustainable. The rare disease market has been particularly attractive—less competitive, more pricing power, and cheaper/faster to navigate through the development process. BioMarin is about to launch potentially their biggest product, Vimizim, in early 2014, and we think they could turn profitable as early as 2014/2015. All of these factors make them very attractive as an acquisition target."
Focus: Acquiring, developing, and commercializing cancer treatments
Key products and pipeline: No marketed products. Holds global rights to three candidates in its pipeline: CO-1686, an oral epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), covalent inhibitor now in Phase I/II for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in patients with initial activating EGFR mutations as well as the T790M dominant resistance mutation; rucaparib, an oral, small molecule poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor for ovarian cancer, now in Phase I/II trials as monotherapy and with chemotherapy; and a discovery-phase cKIT inhibitor targeting resistance mutations for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
Why attractive: Shares of Clovis more than doubled in price, to $74.59, on June 3 after the company made two favorable announcements: CO-1686 showed encouraging results in the Phase I portion of its ongoing Phase I/II clinical study; while a Phase I trial of rucaparib alone for ovarian cancer demonstrated a clinical benefit in 89% of patients. Shares of Clovis have since inched higher, to $75.23 on September 19, more than triple the year-earlier price of $22.06.
September 17—Bloomberg reported that Clovis "is exploring strategic options including a sale of the company," and "working with advisers including Credit Suisse AG to help it find a buyer," citing unnamed sources.

The commissioner of a central and western Pennsylvania high school hockey league deserves some time in the penalty box after creating a brouhaha about the national anthem.
And to make it worse, the matter erupted just as the nation was celebrating Veterans Day.
Ed Sam, commissioner of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League, which includes teams in Altoona, Hollidaysburg, State College and the Johnstown area, started a tempest when he raised the idea of not playing the national anthem at games to save time.
KDKA in Pittsburgh reported that Sam sent out a letter last week prohibiting playing the national anthem at the games after some games had to be ended before the clock ran because the rink rental time had expired. Verbose singing of the anthem contributed to the problem.
Needless to say, the idea didn't go over well, and Sam and the PIHL quickly reversed direction.
The PIHL website on Tuesday evening included a statement "that the PIHL is working on implementing a 'standardized' playing of the National Anthem for every PIHL game" using a CD.
"Until our standardized procedure is completely set up, please allow playing of the National Anthem in the manner that you have done so previously or currently available to you," the website stated.
Because high school teams have to rent ice time at an arena, one can understand the desire to avoid delays that could result in a premature end of the game.
But playing "The Star Spangled Banner" at sporting events is a tradition that Americans value. Banning it is sure to draw the ire of many.
All high school games and games involving amateur travel teams played at Gallactic Ice in Altoona have included the national anthem.
The PIHL is looking at a short instrumental version of the anthem for its games, KDKA reported.
That's a reasonable compromise that might keep Sam and the PIHL out of the doghouse - if not the penalty box - while maintaining the anthem's place at high school hockey games.

Faux Pas in France: Four Americans in ParisPosted Tuesday, November 25, 2008, at 4:30 PM
Lisa Earle McLeod, www.ForgetPerfect.com
We didn't wear our big white tennis shoes, we didn't complain about the lack of ice, and we never once asked where you could buy a big Gulp.
But they could still peg us as Americans, even from the back pew at Notre Dame.
I'm in Paris with my family. I often travel for my speaking business, but I usually leave the kiddos and hubby at home when I jet off for exotic locales like Omaha or Des Moines. However, this time the gigs were in Paris and Nice, and so, like the Clampets, we loaded up the airplane and moved to Paree.
Well, OK, we didn't move here; we're only trying to assimilate for two weeks.
Now, I know the French have a reputation for being snooty. But I suspect that this insidious rumor was spread by two tourists who got frustrated when a vending machine at the Louvre ate their dollar bill. Honestly, I've been here twice and I find the French to be incredibly kind, gracious and helpful.
It's true, they do speak another language. And should you even find a vending machine - which is highly unlikely since the French prefer real food - you'll be hard pressed to find one that will sell you a cellophane-wrapped Honey Bun for 75 cents.
But just try going into 7-11, plunking down a few Euros and asking for a café au lait and see how far you get. Hello? The reason you to go to a different country is to experience the differences, not complain about them.
But back to my family and our valiant attempts to fake French.
The French might not think they're better than us, but they sure do dress, talk and eat better than us. Or at least better than anyone I know.
Where are the chubby moms in the shiny warm-up suits and over-sized sweaters? And what about the loud-mouthed guys with their shirttails sticking out, bellowing for more ribs on the All-You-Can-Eat buffet? And pray tell, where are all the whiny kids screaming for more Skittles?
Everywhere I turn all I see are skinny, well-dressed people in tailored clothes talking in hushed tones as they delicately nibble on some fancy cheese.
How the heck do these people stay so thin? I've only been here 48 hours and I've already drunk more wine and eaten more chocolate than I usually do in a month.
Sure, my 6 foot 2", 250 lb husband doesn't fit in the shower or bed. But who needs cleanliness and sleep when you can get Beaujolais at lunch?
Another thing that strikes me about France is there's no clutter. I'm not kidding, I've been to a few homes here and these people own, like, twelve things. They're fabulous things, like cashmere sweaters and good books, but the 'more is better' concept appears to have contained itself within the continental US.
I don't know if they can read our cluttered kitchen counter on our faces, but apparently it takes more than a black turtleneck sweater to look French.
Everywhere we go, waiters, hotel staff, and even the cute gal working the crepe stand outside the Eiffel Tower, take one look at us and say in English, "Hello, welcome to France."
Was it the mom jeans, the fanny pack or my husband's southern accent?
I'll never know, but one thing is for sure. For better or worse, we remain Americans.

I can't take any more. The economy is tanking, the election is endless, and now it looks like I might have to sell my blood if I want to keep my kids in mac 'n cheese. Oh, and did I mention that, thanks to falling house prices, I probably owe more on my home than it's actually worth? I want to go back to bed, pull the covers over my head and have somebody wake me up when my 401(k) bounces back. I don't know about you, but I'm finding myself so jittery about, well everything, that it's all I can do to surf the net. Kind of ironic, isn't it? I should be working more, but I'm so anxious about my finances that I'm actually working less. Alas, such is the world of grown-ups - stress, anxiety, depression. And to think that I wasted much of my childhood wishing I could be in charge of my own life. Why in the heck did I ever think that was a good idea? Give me a few cookies, a blankey and a nice place to lie down and I swear I'll never complain about an early bedtime again. These are tough times indeed. Even if you're still OK, you'd have to be one cold, hard, rich person to stay immune to all the angst in the air. So how do you cope? How do you get through today when you're so worried about tomorrow that you can't see straight? I overheard a news commentator say that people are thinking twice before they go out to eat or buy new clothes. I'm guessing that those are the people who still have jobs. Because the people without jobs aren't spending a nickel on anything except cheap carbs and keeping a roof over their heads. Yet as depressing as our collective and individual situations may be, the last thing we need to do is let our fear get the best of us. If you spend all day quaking and anxious, guess who wins? The fear. Yes, I know FDR had a roof over his head when he said "we have nothing to fear but fear itself," but he was right. Every moment you waste paralyzed with fear is a moment you could be doing something, or resting up so that you can do something tomorrow. It's been said that there are only two emotions, love and fear, and all the other emotions are derivatives of those. So I'd like to make a suggestion. Let's chose love. Let's decide to love each other and to love ourselves, no matter what happens. And if you're really a Pollyanna, perhaps you'll join me in deciding to love the fact that this crisis is serving as a call for us to become our better selves; a call for us to look within and rid ourselves of consumerism, greed and the need to keep up with the Jones; and a call for us to have more empathy for those who are struggling. Maybe this is a chance for all of us - and I include myself - to decide that we love our country and we love our fellow human beings more than we love our stuff. Yeah, I know it sounds hokey. But you don't change your circumstances until you change the thoughts that created them. Cowering under the covers in fear may feel safer. But in a crisis, the truly powerful response is love.

FoodFacts.com evaluates every aspect of the food products in our database. Fiber is an aspect that we note on the Report Card for each one. It's been well-known that fiber intake is an important part of a healthy diet for many reasons. Consumers are attracted to products that are higher in fiber for weight and appetite control But we've also known that dietary fiber can help reduce risk factors for stroke and can influence blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Today we found new research that indicates that eating more fiber can decrease the risk of an initial stroke. Dietary fiber is the part of the plant that the body doesn't absorb during digestion. Fiber can be soluble, which means it dissolves in water, or insoluble.
This new study found that each seven-gram increase in total daily fiber intake was associated with a 7 percent decrease in first-time stroke risk. Researchers noted that this seven-gram increase could be satisfied easily with one serving of whole wheat pasta and two servings of fruits or vegetables. This is especially important for those with pre-existing stroke risk factors like being overweight, having high blood pressure or smoking.
The research analyzed eight previous studies conducted between 1990 and 2012. These studies focused on different types of stroke, with four of them specifically focused on ischemic stroke (occurring when a clot blocks a blood vessel to the brain). Three of them were focused on hemorrhagic stroke (occurring when a blood vessel bleeds into the brain or on its surface). Findings from all the studies were combined and other stroke risk factors were considered.
The American Heart Association recommends a daily fiber intake of at least 25 grams daily. That can be achieved through six to eight servings of grains and eight to ten servings of fruits and vegetables. Most Americans do not consume the recommended level.
Stoke is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. It accounts for over 137,000 deaths annually and is the leading cause of disability for stroke survivors.
FoodFacts.com wants to remind our community of the importance of our daily fiber intake. It's not that difficult to achieve increased fiber consumption. This study indicates that by increasing our daily fiber we can decrease our risk of ever experiencing a stroke, prolonging our life and living healthier.

Allen James, 49, of Sanborn, competed as an Olympic racewalker in 1992 in Barcelona and four years later in Atlanta. His best finish was in '96, when he placed 24th of 52 participants in a 50K (31-mile) event with a time of 4:01:18.
Today, he works for Toth's Sports. He still walks three to six miles four times a week, and 12 to 16 miles Saturdays, when he gathers with runners at 8 a.m. at the warming house at Bond Lake Park in Lewiston.
Does doing all that walking allow you to eat more?
I like food but the older you get, even when you're working out, your metabolism continues to slow, so you do have to watch what you eat. It's awful. I work out hard, too, but I still like pizza.
What did you used to eat when you were training?
The myth is a lot of pasta and carbs. … It does provide complex sugar, but you have to do your proteins and your veggies, have a balanced diet. I don't eat as much red meat as I used to.
Staples of your diet today?
Burritos, quesadillas, chicken, Mexican food. And pizza. We eat pizza once a week.
The food you can't resist?
Don't even make me say it. The other choice, the food that goes with pizza; that'd be the wings.

Caleb Kinlaw won't follow in his brother Rodney's footsteps and matriculate to Penn State. Instead, he will take the college path his cousin selected.
Kinlaw tweeted "#YellowJacketNation" on his Twitter account (@TheLaw20_DosUno) Friday night.
Yes, Kinlaw's cousin is Joe Hamilton, who finished second in the Heisman voting in 1999. Just this May, Hamilton returned to Georgia Tech when he was rehired by Georgia Tech to provide assistance with recruiting.
"I know a lot of the coaches down there," said the 5-10, 180-pound running back with sub-4.5 speed in the 40-yard dash. "They will have my best interests at heart."
But Kinlaw's decision to head to Atlanta was based on more than what happens on the gridiron. It's also about what happens after graduation.
Kinlaw's top five included Georgia Tech, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arizona and Kansas State.
"Georgia Tech was fourth on my list," Kinlaw said. "All the football teams were pretty much equal. The one thing that won me over is the academics. I want to be a mechanical engineer."
With Kinlaw's commitment, Georgia Tech landed its second player from the Lowcountry who was ranked among the state's top 30 seniors. Kinlaw will join Porter-Gaud defensive end Michael Preddy in the Yellow Jackets' 2014 recruiting class.
Kinlaw's brother Rodney was a running back who earned all-state honors at Stratford and signed with Penn State. The older Kinlaw rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2007, his senior season at Penn State.
Caleb Kinlaw made a name for himself at Goose Creek. He showed flashes of brilliance as a freshman with great speed and elusive moves.
He rushed for 1,497 yards as a sophomore and put up impressive numbers last fall despite being slowed by injuries. He rushed for 1,006 yards and 15 touchdowns on only 132 carries.
The Kinlaw brothers talked about the recruiting process.
"I basically told Caleb to focus on his education in case football doesn't work out," he said. "He wants to be an engineer, so he will get a great degree and have a great opportunity with football, with our cousin Joe Hamilton there to guide him."
With that little bit of brotherly advice, Georgia Tech was able to keep it all in the family.

Just how did Summervilles history shake out the way it did?
Dr. Pradeep Talwani, Professor Emeritus of Geology from the University of South Carolina will shed light on that and other questions during a special presentation Aug. 30 at Colonial Dorchester State Park. The program, sponsored by the Summerville Dorchester Museum in cooperation with Colonial Dorchester State Park, will be a fascinating mix of field trip and lecture, Dr. Ed West, Chairman of the Summerville Dorchester Museum said.
On Aug. 31, 1886, an earthquake of great magnitude estimated at between 6.6 and 7.3 on the Richter scale struck this area. As it hit around 10 p.m., the surprise and panic must have been overwhelming, West said. In fact, it shook the Lowcountry so hard, many people refused to go back into their houses for days afterward, he said.
The destruction was incredible, he said. It was a huge event there were casualties and in fact it did more damage to the city of Charleston and surrounding areas than did the Civil War and all of the hurricanes and fires of our 300 year history combined.
In Summerville, it bent railroad tracks, damaged property, and destroyed at least one building, the old White Meeting House.
A second major aftershock hit some two months later, West said. Some believe that the tremors that shake Summerville to this day may be related to that 1886 quake, he said.
The people repaired and rebuilt and life went on. In fact, two years later, Summerville would be declared The Healthiest Place in the World during the Paris Expo of 1888.
Interestingly enough, that declaration is oddly related to the 1886 earthquake and more. The fact is, Summerville has been a hotbed of earthquake activity for thousands of years; the 1886 earthquake is the first time anyone ever knew that a fault existed here.
Talwani has studied this area for many years, finding much evidence of ancient earthquake activity in this area.
Talwani will take guests on a guided tour around Colonial Dorchester to examine evidence of the 1886 earthquake as well as discuss his extensive research of the area, particularly the Sawmill Branch Fault.
West will talk about the relationship of the Sawmill Branch Fault to the development of the pine barrens which first brought settlers here and how this areas reputation as a healthy place is related to the fault.
Reservations are required for the program and space is limited. Tickets are $12.50 each. For more information call 875-9666 or go to www.summervilledorchestermuseum.org.

Common-sense drug addiction treatment needed
May 16, 2013
No wonder we're losing the war against drug abuse. The pushers are more organized than efforts to wean addicts away from their deadly wares....
It is most certainly ludicrous that the entire State of Ohio has only 16 medication-assisted treatment centers that offer methadone maintenance treatment, which (according to the CDC, SAMHSA, AATOD and many others) is the most effective modality currently available for the treatment of opioid addiction (I'm not sure where the author got the information there were only 12; There are 16 according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services whose Center for Substance Abuse Treatment oversees and regulates such clinics.). And it is crazy that ANY patient who suffers from a chronic, potentially fatal (if untreated) disease and disability would have to be transported long distances via taxi to receive the most evidence-based treatment for their condition. However, that speaks more than anything else to the fact that MORE treatment centers/clinics are needed in the State of Ohio (and the vast majority of other states as well). Every county should have one; OH leadership has failed.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - After serving Happy Meals, French fries and Big Macs to customers for more than 30 years, the Tahoe City McDonald's recently closed its doors.
The fast food restaurant's final day was Jan. 31, due to it not being "financially feasible" to sign a new lease at its location in the Lighthouse Center, said Tom Teague, former owner and operator of the Tahoe City McDonald's.
"I really appreciate the business given to us over the years by Tahoe City," Teague said.
Accounts vary as to when McDonald's opened for business in Tahoe City. Teague, the third owner of the restaurant, said it opened sometime between 1981 and 1982.
Yet, according to the lease, the restaurant opened in the late 1970s, said Paul Gaddis, project manager at Schlosser Development, a property development and management company based in Austin, Texas, that acquired the Lighthouse Center from Safeway in January 2011.
When it was first announced McDonald's would be moving into Tahoe City, it was met with community resistance, said Ed Miller, a Tahoe resident since 1976.
"It was very controversial," he said. "It was sort of the invasion of the corporate chain restaurant, which was very unusual. For the most part, people were not terribly happy about it. It was the first really big franchise to be here, and it sort of marked an out-of-town entity having a foothold."
He went on to say that the "hoopla" soon wore off after the restaurant opened for business, with people ultimately accepting the franchise.
"It rapidly sort of assimilated into the geography of downtown Tahoe City," Miller said.
Today, local feedback on the McDonald's closure is one of sadness, Teague said.
"There are very few inexpensive places or quick places to eat in this town," said Debbie Wohler, a Tahoe City resident who ate at McDonald's about once a week, usually for lunch. "As one of my friends said, 'it is nice to be able to eat at a place where you don't have to take out a loan before you go.'
"We have some wonderful restaurants in Tahoe; however, a lot of folks can only afford to eat there on special occasions."
Sarah Williams, a former Tahoe City resident and a mom of three, said she and her family used the restaurant to grab a quick snack or a meal when in a hurry.
"It's super affordable for families," she said, adding that it was also convenient and a friendly place to go, where she knew all the employees.
Teague said the Tahoe City restaurant employed 15 people, with a number of them being transferred to the Truckee McDonald's in the SaveMart Center off Highway 89, which he also owns, while others chose not to be transferred or were laid off.
"We're sorry that they closed," said Schlosser Development Property Manager Patti McClung.
Miller pointed out that closures, while unfortunate, are a part of business.
"It's something that happens in a cycle - businesses open and close," he said.
It is not known at this time what will go into the space next, Gaddis said.

TROY, Ala. - Even though the Stetson women's soccer team (1-4-0) had a number of chances to tie the contest late in regulation, the Hatters fell to Troy (4-2-0) by a score of 1-0 on an early penalty kick on the final day of the Trojan Classic on Sunday.
It was an early penalty kick that gave Troy the 1-0 advantage it held until the final buzzer. After a hand ball on Stetson in the box gave the Trojans the opportunity in the eighth minute of play, Chelsey Williams took advantage of the penalty by putting the ball in the back of the net and giving Troy the early lead.
Junior goalkeeper Laura Seletos made five saves in the defeat, with a number of difficult stops helping to keep the Hatters in the match. The veteran also made a tremendous play on a second penalty awarded to the Trojans. Seletos made a diving save to her left, preventing Troy from taking a 2-0 lead in the 22nd minute of the match.
With about 15 minutes to play in the second half, a Troy forward received the ball behind the entire Stetson defense and found herself one-on-one with Seletos. The junior forced the Trojan wide of the goal with an aggressive move and a tip on the ball, and Troy came away with another missed opportunity to put the game away.
With three of the team's eight second half shots coming in the final eight minutes of action, Stetson never quit in this one. The Hatters' best chance at evening the score late came with about six minutes remaining when junior Amber Grose played a ball into the box, finding the head of an open Kait Jones. The junior forward headed the ball towards the goal, but played it just wide, and the Hatters remained behind on the scoreboard.
The Hatters finished the game with a 14-13 advantage in shots, while both teams put six of their opportunities on target. The Trojans recorded three corner kicks to Stetson's one. Seletos finished with fives saves, and Troy's Katie Comeno-Lewis and Maddie Winter combined for six in the win.
"We're starting to have a team identity," Head Coach Julie Orlowski said following the game. "We did a lot of things a lot better today. We're very pleased with how we played, but obviously we're not pleased with the result."
Stetson will next return home for a non-conference contest against Florida Atlantic. The Hatters and the Owls are scheduled to kickoff at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 8 at the brand new Athletic Training Center.
Update: Amber Grose and Alyssa Welsh were named to the Trojan Classic All-Tournament Team following the last match of the weekend.
