---- — LOWELL — Despite Andover High dictating pace for most of a scoreless first half, Massachusetts high school football's ultimate brawler, St. John's Prep, never stopped punching.
All those body shots took their toll in the second half as Prep junior sensation Jon Thomas finally found some room here on the Cawley Stadium turf.
"Jonny Rockets" zoomed through a second-half for the ages, chewing up 184 yards and scoring all three TDs on 20 carries, lifting the Prep to a 21-0 Eastern Mass. Division 1 semifinal win over the Merrimack Valley Conference Division 1 champions.
Thomas finished his night early with 28 carried for 209 yards, adding a pair of catches for 24 yards. He accounted for all but 69 of the Prep's 302 yards.
"They had nine people in the box, sometimes 10, and we're still pounding it at them," said Prep coach Jim O'Leary. "He just had to get it through that first level, and he was gone."
St. John's will now face Brockton for the EMass. Division 1 title Saturday, most likely at Bentley University.
Andover clearly had the better of it in the first half, outgaining St. John's, 136-70, and making a pair of trips into the red zone.
But a missed field goal (wide left from 29) and a 4th-and-1 failure from the Eagles' 5, was all that Andover could muster.
"The missed opportunities hurt," said Andover coach E.J. Perry, who has now coached Andover to a pair of MVC titles in the last three years, falling twice in this game. "We needed to do a better job of taking advantage."
The 0-0 tie at the break was a new lease on life for the Catholic Conference champs.
Andover junior Jack Sylvester burst a big one on the first play from scrimmage after halftime, a 64-yard dash from the 18 to the 18. But the Prep defense slammed the door shut there, forcing another field goal miss (from 31) and holding the Warriors to 50 yards and two turnovers over the next 14 Andover plays.
"That's what we do," said O'Leary, lauding the effort to hold the high-flying Warriors scoreless for the first time since a 21-0 loss in this same game to Everett back in 2010.
"We're going to keep playing defense. We're going to get a turnover (actually two in the second half), and eventually we're going to break one, because we're pounding it pretty good. It's hard to keep (us) down."
Meanwhile, Thomas, who already has Division 1-AA offers, simply wore Andover out, with TD runs of 1, 19 and 48 yards.
The kid was everywhere. Up 7-0 with the Prep facing a 3rd-and-4, he leaped into the picture for a 19-yard finger-tip catch to move the chains early on the Prep's second TD march. With Andover's light still flickering but facing a 4th-and-4 at midfield, it was Thomas closing fast on Andover quarterback C.J. Scarpa, swooping in to force a turnover on downs.
"He might be a better defender," said O'Leary. "We just don't use him that much."
Scarpa, who finished with an area record 32 TD passes this fall, was forced to check down all night with the Prep loading up with 6 or often 7 in coverage at all times.
The senior was 16 of 27 for 165 yards, throwing intereceptions 6 and 7 of the season.
Classmate Will Heikkinen caught 7 balls for 88 yards, making it 67 for 1,126 in an impeccable year. And Sylvester reminded the 2,000 or so fans gathered that all will not be lost at graduation. The junior finished with 15 carries for 146 yards, chipping in five catches for 37 yards.

A physician, conservationist and philanthropist, Dr. Rogers dies at 90

Dr. Joseph Megeath Rogers, 90, died on Saturday March 8, 2014 at his Hillbrook Farm near Hamilton following a stroke.
Physician, farmer, businessman, rural land conservationist, philanthropist and expert horseman, Dr. Rogers was a tireless advocate and practitioner of country living whose contributions in a broad range of interests were largely made quietly and with little fanfare.
His public persona was most closely connected with remarkable success as an owner, trainer and rider of some of Virginia's most successful steeplechase horses, which ran under his familiar red silks with white cross sash. But his success in that rugged and dangerous sport was merely a visible extension of his commitment to protect Virginia's rural countryside, a life mission he often defined as a moral obligation. In pursuing that connection between equestrian sport and countryside preservation, he was a founder of the Oatlands Point-To-Point of the Loudoun Hunt, as well as of the Morven Park Steeplechase—the latter being the first race meet in the modern history of Virginia to offer pari-mutuel wagering. He was instrumental in the creation of the Goose Creek Historic District, which includes several thousand acres of permanently preserved rural land, and put more than 900 acres of his own farm in preservation easements.
A long time member of the Board of Directors of the Westmoreland Davis Foundation, which operates the historic Morven Park estate north of Leesburg, Dr. Rogers was also a founder of the Morven Park Equestrian Institute, as well as a founder of the Loudoun County Pony Club, a founding director of the Museum of Hounds and Hunting and a founding director of the American Academy of Equine Artists. A soft-spoken and oftentimes shy man who preferred to get things done quietly, Dr. Rogers occasionally found himself somewhat self-consciously thrust into the limelight. Among those occasions was when he managed to retire the Virginia Gold Cup, considered the most prestigious timber race in Virginia, with three different horses, an accomplishment that defied almost any known odds in that unpredictable sport. One of those Gold Cup-winning horses, King of Spades, became the subject of a song recorded by the legendary bluegrass band, The Country Gentlemen. King of Spades had attracted such an enormous following among steeplechase enthusiasts that, when he was killed in a freak paddock accident, one newspaper published an obituary on him as though he was a prominent Loudoun citizen.
Another occasion that drew public attention to Dr. Rogers was when the Loudoun Times Mirror named him Man of The Year in the 1990s, an honor usually bestowed on citizens who had cultivated a much higher public profile.
Ironically, Dr. Rogers only a few years earlier was the initial investor in a successful start-up newspaper called Leesburg Today which was in direct competition with the Times-Mirror. But the owner of the Times-Mirror, Arthur W. Arundel, was a long-time friend and the two had collaborated on a number of important rural land preservation efforts, including promoting the establishment of conservation easements that led to thousands of acres of Virginia countryside being permanently preserved against development. Their racehorses had also competed with some regularity over the years, and they shared an enduring love of fox hunting.
When faced with a friendly warning by Mr. Arundel that he would "lose your shirt" investing in a start-up competitor to the venerable Times-Mirror, Dr. Rogers grinned and replied, "well, Nick, I've got lots of shirts." They remained good friends.
The family-owned Wilkins Rogers Milling Company was a source of considerable wealth to the four Rogers brothers. Dr. Rogers' business interests also extended to being the former owner of the Loudoun County Milling Company, a director of Farmers & Merchants National Bank and a past director and officer of Earthwork, Inc.
A 1947 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Dr. Rogers returned to Loudoun and set up a private practice that included among his patients both the prominent and the indigent. He routinely made house calls to tend to patients who he knew could not afford to pay him, but to whom he felt an obligation because many of them were the men and women who worked on the farms of Loudoun. His medical career in Loudoun started at a time when the county had a population of less than 30,000 and only a handful of physicians. He often said of his medical practice that it was the way he chose to give back to a community where his family roots ran deep. That sense of obligation led him at one point to become Chief of Staff at Loudoun Memorial Hospital, and he finished out his medical career by serving as chief of the emergency room at the same facility. He also served as a Director of the Loudoun Healthcare Foundation, was on the advisory board of the Loudoun Senior Citizens Association and was a volunteer with the Loudoun Food Closet—all of them in one way or another working to see to the health of Loudoun citizens.
His medical interests were not limited to the human variety. He was Vice Chairman of the Founders Committee of the Marion duPont Scott Equine Veterinary College at Morven Park, a unique partnership between the University of Maryland and Virginia Tech. He was also a pioneer in what later became known as aerobic training of racehorses. He set up measured training segments on Hillbrook and would work his steeplechase horses over those segments, timing each gallop and then using a stethoscope to measure the horses' heart rates. As his horses became more fit, their segment times improved and their heart rates came down—carefully calculated medical proof of the steadily improving endurance. That training methodology produced a devastating ability of Rogers-trained horses to lay back well off the early race pace, then close with a rush at the end when the competition was used up and his own horses were drawing on the aerobic conditioning painstakingly developed and recorded at Hillbrook.
The 1200 acre Hillbrook Farm located on Harmony Church Road south of Hamilton was both a thriving agricultural business and a personal haven for Dr. Rogers. He bred Angus cattle, produced hay and other crops, developed his racing stock and tended to fox hounds—the latter an extension of his longtime role as Master of Foxhounds for the Loudoun Hunt. The main residence at Hillbrook, while modest in size compared to some of Virginia's more elaborate mansions, became a virtual museum of racing, farming and agricultural literature under his care and that of his wife, Donna. To a visitor, his deep knowledge and obvious love of Virginia life would emerge one measured sentence at a time as he sat in his favorite old red leather chair in the den at Hillbrook. His knowledge of productive farming—and the dangers it faced in a rapidly developing Northern Virginia—propelled him to service in a wide variety of organizations with influence in the field of agriculture. Among them were the Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District, the Loudoun Rural Area Development Committee, the Loudoun Rural Area Management Plan Committee, the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Loudoun County Tax Advisory Board, the Loudoun County Historical Society and the Goose Creek Historic District. He was also a founder of the Bedford Fund—named in honor of his long time friend and fellow land preservationist Erskine Bedford—which was dedicated to promoting the placement of conservation easements on rural land. He was also a member of the Catoctin Farmers Club, whose roster was a Who's Who of family names representing ownership of hundreds of thousand of acres of productive farmland west of Goose Creek in the days when Loudoun was among the state's leaders in virtually every category of agriculture.
He was also an underwriter of the Country Life Center's project to develop a Rural Economic Development zone that would put an agriculture-based financial footing under western Loudoun land facing heavy residential development pressure. Some of the provisions in that model project created the county's regulatory framework promoting the establishment and expansion of today's flourishing winery industry in Loudoun.
When a public policy matter involving rural land conservation came to his attention, he did not venture to Leesburg to publicly lecture the county's elected leaders on its importance. He would instead invite one or two to have a meal with him at Hillbrook, where he would listen carefully to the issue being discussed, then present his own thoughts, and thank the visitors for coming.
"When you want to get your point across, you don't do it by embarrassing other people," he once told a journalist.
His contributions to the structural side of equine sport were also significant, having served as founder and director of the Virginia Steeplechase Association, as a senior steward of the National Steeplechase Association, and as founder and life member of the United States Combined Training Association, which is America's Olympic training organization for equine sports.
Dr. Rogers is survived by his wife Donna Truslow Rogers, brothers Samuel Hamilton Rogers, Jr. and Richard Alexander Rogers; his children Marilyn Ashby Rogers Renner, Joseph Megeath Rogers, Jr., and Elizabeth Rogers Villeda; and his granddaughter Hannah Megeath Rogers Tucker. His brother Howard Cochran Rogers predeceased him.
Arrangements are being handled by Hall Funeral Home in Purcellville (
). Services will be held on Wednesday March 12, 2014 at 2:00 pm at St. James Episcopal Church in Leesburg. Burial will be in Union Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Land Trust of Virginia, Marion DuPont Scott Equine Medical Center and Museum of Hounds and Hunting North America.

RALEIGH — Several civil rights groups sent a letter Friday asking the Wake County school board not to approve a new policy that would ban speakers from making personal attacks at meetings.
The board, which has heard heated words about ending its diversity policy, is set to give initial approval Tuesday to a policy that sets guidelines on what speakers can say.
The groups object to language that says "speakers are required to refrain from personal attacks and insults directed at the Board, staff, or other members of the public."
The letter was signed by the ACLU of North Carolina, Legal Aid of North Carolina, the N.C. Justice Center, the state NAACP, the Southern Coalition for Social Justice and the UNC Center for Civil Rights.
Several groups that signed the letter have criticized the board's plans to end busing for socioeconomic diversity.
The board is also set Tuesday to give initial approval to an assignment policy that makes neighborhood schools a priority.

With great sorrow and shock,The Breitbart global news service announced today that their founder, Andrew Breitbart, unexpectedly passed away early this morning, just after midnight, from natural causes in Los Angeles.
The news agency issued this statement: "We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love
"Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:
"I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.
"Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I've lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I've gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.
"Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us."
Breitbart was a familiar face on various cable news network programs and stood for truth in reporting. He broke stories that the mainstream media intentionally tried to hide. He loved America and strongly supported family values. And nothing could back him down.
This writer is impressed with the comments about his death on Huffington Post. The many published comments were respectful, even from those who disagreed with his positions. Andrew had earned that respect by his own integrity
This writer who recently became part of the pool of writers for the news agency joins in sending condolences to his family and staff at Breitbart.com, for their pain and loss. His was a very needed voice of sanity for our country. And his legacy will continue.

The Virginia volleyball team dropped a four-set match at No. 15 North Carolina, 25-18, 22-25, 25-19 and 26-24, Saturday evening. With the loss the Cavaliers, fell to 15-13 on the season (8-8 ACC).
Freshman Jasmine Burton led the Cavaliers with 20 kills on .341 hitting. Burton has moved into sixth place on UVa's all-time freshman list with 332 kills for the season.
Junior Tori Janowski added 14 kills, while junior Natalie Bausback tallied seven blocks.
The first set was tied at 11 when the Tar Heels won five points in a row on the way to a 25-18 win. In the second, the Cavaliers limited their errors (three down from seven in the first set) and served up four aces en route to a 25-22 victory. In the third, North Carolina never trailed and hit .370 on the way to a 25-19 triumph.
The Cavaliers had a 19-14 lead in the fourth set, but UNC went on an 8-1 run to take a 22-20 lead. UVa earned three points in a row to gain a 23-22 advantage, but a Tar Heel block tied the set at 23. A Burton kill fought off North Carolina's first match point, but another Tar Heel block gave UNC a 26-24 victory.

A new report shows that New York City can use existing technologies to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 90 percent over the next 37 years.
March 5, 2013—Many climate scientists say that in order to ward off the devastating effects of climate change, developed countries will have to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 90 percent by 2050. That percentage is so high that many people assume it is either impossible to achieve or that elaborate technologies must first be developed. But a recently released report shows that when it comes to the largest city in the United States, not only is it possible to slash emissions by 90 percent over the next 37 years, but also that the reductions can be accomplished using fairly simple techniques.
Urban Green Council, the New York chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council, released the report, entitled 90 by 50, on February 14. The publication outlines the results of a modeling study carried out by Urban Green Council showing that New York City could reduce its emissions by 90 percent by 2050 using technologies that for the most part are widely available. It also calls New York City's PlaNYC, an initiative aimed at reducing emissions by 30 percent by 2030, a good first step toward addressing climate change, but it says more must be done.
Richard Leigh, P.E., LEED AP, the research director for Urban Green Council, says that the goal of reducing emissions by at least 80 percent can be so overwhelming that people tend instead to set more easily achievable targets, for example, the one in PlaNYC. "We've got to reduce emissions, and many people believe that—accept it—but just don't see how we can possibly do it," Leigh says. "So we thought it was important to step up to the plate and show that for this great big metropolis it was in fact a technical and economic possibility."
Seventy-five percent of New York City's emissions come from its buildings, so the report focuses on upgrading buildings to reduce emissions overall. "People don't always realize how much buildings impact their lives—their health, the environment—but in dense urban cities, [buildings] are the environment," says Russell Unger, the executive director of Urban Green Council. He adds that every city has a different profile and that in such cities as Los Angeles transportation accounts for most of the emissions, but in "a place like New York, the story's all about the buildings."
Urban Green Council developed eight building models to represent various city structures. The models were designed to initially be as inefficient as the buildings that exist in the city today and to have similar emission levels, Leigh says. The researchers then began improving the models using such common techniques as sealing air leaks, adding insulation, installing sunshades and triple-pane windows, incorporating photovoltaic cells, and installing mini-split-system and ground-source heat pumps and heat recovery ventilation systems. As a result of the upgrades, the buildings' emissions decreased by 55 to 65 percent, Leigh says.
To reduce their emissions further, the models were connected to electricity sources that do not emit greenhouse gases. "You've really reduced your energy load, and then you supply what's remaining with renewable power. Some of it will be photovoltaics, and the rest of it will be from the grid," Unger explains. "Right now, our grid is forty percent carbon free in New York City, so you'd have to find ways to make the rest carbon free." The researchers didn't examine alternative electricity sources as part of their study, but the report includes a list of possible carbon-free sources, including windmills and nuclear power plants.
New York City has a plan in place to reduce emissions by 30 percent by 2030, but an Urban Green Council report suggests the city could cut emissions by 90 percent by 2050. Urban Green Council
While upgrades that help buildings use less energy can save money in the long term, the initial costs can be high. Unger says those costs can be reduced if the equipment is upgraded at the time of its necessary replacement. "There are some places where buildings, to hit these numbers, would need to do retrofits they wouldn't do otherwise, particularly insulating their walls and sealing within their walls," Unger says. "But a lot of . . . the equipment will be replaced between now and 2050, so you upgrade it [then]."
In addition to reducing building emissions, New York City would have to cut its transportation emissions to meet the 90 percent goal. The report suggests reducing those emissions in part by reintroducing trollies. "Trollies these days are like buses: they have rubber tires and can go anywhere on the road, but they get their power from a wire overhead," Leigh says. "If you think that's an odd technology, go to Boston. They use them throughout the city and throughout Cambridge." The large number of electric cars expected in the future will be helping matters, and the report assumes that all other vehicles would meet the new federal fuel emission standard, which calls for an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. "We just assume that by 2050 [everyone] would be complying with the 2025 fuel efficiency standard," Leigh says. "So a lot of our emission savings just come from current law."
While 90 by 50 offers many suggestions for significantly reducing emissions in New York City, Unger and Leigh say it is by no means the only path to that end. "Our goal is to address some of the malaise out there, the sense that this is so overwhelming that it's impossible to do," Unger says. "We hope to just change the general perspective about the possibility of this and also start pointing the way toward what might be involved in doing it." Unger adds that the issue will require a great deal more study, but he hopes the report gets people talking. "We think that this is, hopefully, going to be changing the dialogue in policy circles and getting people thinking toward where we ultimately want to head," he says. "We're showing a path, not the path."

Client satisfaction is our ultimate goal. These are just a few testimonials from Judnich Law Office clients. For more, check out our Google reviews.
"I needed help facing a felony charge, in order to save my military career. Time was short, as I was only home from Afghanistan for two weeks. With Marty and Vinnie representing me, I was able to return to Afghanistan and complete my tour. To make a long story short, my felony was reduced to a misdemeanor. Without guidance from the Judnich Law firm, I would not have known the first step of what I needed to do. From the first time that I walked through their door, until I was able to walk out of the court room, I felt reassured that my case was important to somebody other than just myself. They all cared; I was not just another file in a tall stack. I am still serving in the United States Army Reserves thanks to Marty and Vinnie. I cannot thank them enough, as the outcome was much better than I had hoped for." - Aric Hilmo
"I was in a car accident in 2010 and found Marty through my Chiropractor. He met with me in a timely manner and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He explained everything to me so I understood and he always returned my phone calls and e-mails quickly. I never had to worry about phone calls from insurance companies or receiving medical bills. I highly recommend Judnich Law Office to everyone!!" - Dorothy Goldbar
"Friendly, helpful staff. Both Vinnie and Marty seem very knowledgeable and helped at every possible time. All of the trouble was on the insurance agent's side. Vinnie and Marty got the best possible settlement we could get and even found more money than I previously expected." – Blair Gemmer
"Judnich Law Office represented me and my brother when we were rear-ended in a car accident. We had to move out of state two weeks after the accident and they did a great job representing us, even though it was long distance. They did not take the first or second offers from the insurance company. They negotiated and got us the most they could. I would recommend them should you need an attorney." – Sharon White
"I wasn't sure if I could trust and afford an attorney in my accident case. I endorse Marty Judnich after he explained everything to me in a way that I understood. I didn't want to settle cheap and my attorney showed me how the settlement I got was better than I would have settled for on my own." Mike B.
"Marty really helped me. I couldn' t work and I had no idea what to do. Marty explained it all to me and I felt so relieved after I talked to him. If you have questions, you have to call him, it is so worth it. " — Dan T.
"I really liked that the office kept in touch with me by email. I always knew what was going on, and they explained everything to me when I had questions. If any of my friends get into a car accident I will have them call Marty & Vinnie" –PPJ
"Marty and Vinny were so awesome to work with that I would never go anyplace else! It was a very comfortable environment and they expertly answered every question I had about my case and the cases of my children, they walked me through every step of the process and helped me get the settlement I deserved from the insurance company after my car accident. I would tell anyone looking for a lawyer to call them!" – Christina B.
"Marty and Vinnie knew the answers to my questions and really put me at ease. Lots of other law offices were not interested in my case and wouldn't even meet with me. Judnich Law Office met with me right away and was able to help." — Jen C.
"The insurance company finally stopped calling and harassing me after Marty represented me. I couldn't handle how the insurance company made me feel bad for their mistake. Marty fixed it and got me a good settlement." — Ben T.
"It's easy to say that Marty is simply an affordable & efficient attorney, but that's barely scratching the surface. He excels at the legal process, making everything simple to understand, while weighing the best options in each case before proceeding. I was always kept up to date with what was happening and once all was said and done, I really felt we had the best possible outcome. I cannot recommend his services enough. " — Mike R.
"I came into Judnich Law Office frustrated after settling my claim before I knew I was badly hurt. Marty was able to reopen my claim and get me the settlement I deserved. I was very lucky to discover the Judnich Law Office, and hope everyone else does." — Jennifer B.
"I found Marty Judnich to be a knowledgeable and honest lawyer. He never promised anything he could not deliver but deliver he did. I felt that he was always working for and with me. I would never hesitate to call on him at any time." — Beth H.
"I was so frustrated with the insurance adjuster I was almost ready to give up. It was someone else's fault that I was hurt, but the adjuster made me feel like the bad guy. Marty was great and I couldn't believe I didn't come to him earlier because it would have saved me a lot of time and anger. Plus, I was happy with my settlement." — Vicky R.
"Marty took my case when I thought no one else would and got me the best possible outcome. He did what I thought was the impossible and kept me out of jail." – Eddie Jones.
"Judnich Law Office actually returned my calls and did what I had expected of them. There is really nothing else to say, I didn't want any more than that. I'd recommend them." — John B.
"Judnich Law was committed to getting the best possible outcome for my case while maintaining a friendly attitude from beginning to end." — Jennifer M.

There are different types of coupons and different policies which match the coupons. Also, coupons and deals at Walgreens differ depending on where you live. What goes on sale in New York may not go on sale in Florida.
Below you will find the basics about the Walgreens coupon policies and there is also a step-by-step tutorial that gets more involved in matching coupons and utilizing the Walgreens website to help you plan your couponing trip. But before doing the tutorial it helps to start off by understanding the different ways you can save at Walgreens.
Register Rewards
Walgreens Register Rewards are Catalina coupons which print up separately from your register receipt after you purchase qualifying items. The Register Rewards can be used similar to cash on your next purchase, although there are some restrictions.
Catalina machines are generally programmed to print one Register Reward coupon for one qualifying item. If you purchase more than one of the same qualifying items per transaction, you will only receive one Register Reward coupon.
In order to get more than one Register Reward coupon when purchasing more than one of the same qualifying items, request that the each item be rung up on a separate transaction. If you purchase different qualifying items in the same transaction you will receive one register reward for each item. In some areas the request for separate transactions may be denied.
Finding What Items Offer Register Rewards
The products that you can earn Register Rewards from are displayed on the Walgreen's Weekly advertisement and are often displayed with the product, price, amount you need to purchase and the Register Rewards you will receive. This information is displayed often in a "box" outlined in red.
You can shorten the hunt for products earning RRs by turning to the internet for help. For example, the Walgreens Coupon Matchups page lists the weekly sales and RRs along with coupon information you can apply when shopping.
Within the store you may find unadvertised items which offer Register Rewards. Reading the signage accompanying the items on the store shelves will help you find unadvertised Register Rewards.
Walgreen's Policy About Register Rewards
- RRs will only print for in-stock merchandise during the promotional period.
- RRs can only be earned for eligible items. There are no substitutions.
- Customers redeeming a RRs against the same offer may not receive another RR.
- RRs after they have expired.
- The RRs coupon value cannot exceed the total purchase amount. No cash back and no cash value for RR coupon.
- The number of manufacturer coupons, including RR manufacturer coupons, must not exceed the number of items in the transaction.
- RRs will be forfeited if the qualifying merchandise is returned.
- RRs can be redeemed for eligible items only. Ineligible items include:
- Prescriptions
- Tobacco products
- Alcoholic beverages
- Dairy products
- Lottery tickets
- Money orders/transfers
- Transportation passes
- Special event/entertainment tickets or passes
- Postage stamps
- Gift cards/phone cards/prepaid/Green DotTM cards
- Prescription "Savings Club" memberships
- Health care services, including immunizations
- Any items prohibited by law
Instant Value CouponsInstant Value Coupons (acronyms IVC, In-Ad) are found on advertised products in the Walgreens' Weekly advertisement. Like the RRs, they appear as a "box" outlined in red in the ads and display the product name, the selling price, the amount of the coupon and the final price.
Monthly Coupon BookThe Walgreen's Monthly Coupon Book can generally be found at the front of the store with the weekly ads. These coupons can be matched with manufacturers' coupons and on sale items for maximum savings.
You can also view the items on sale on the Monthly Coupon List for Walgreens page.
Walgreen's Coupon PolicyAs of August 2010, a new Walgreen's Coupon Policy was posted at the Walgreens website. Here are the highlights:
- "When purchasing a single item, Walgreens accepts one manufacturer coupon and applicable Walgreens coupon(s) for the purchase of a single item, unless prohibited by either coupon offer."
- "The coupon amount must be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied. (For example, a $5.00 coupon for a $4.99 item will result in a $4.99 coupon value)."
- "When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free (BOGO) promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased."
- "Walgreens accepts valid internet/print at home coupons."
Picking the Right Time to Shop
Many times the best way to maximize your savings at Walgreens is to request that different items be rung up on separate transactions. Depending on how busy the store is sometimes determines how well that request is received by the employees. Try to shop during slow times like early in the morning or before closing. Also, checking out at the register by the cosmetic counter can sometimes help to avoid frustrating the Walgreen's employees.
If you have additional questions, visit Walgreen's website or call their customer service center toll-free at 888-324-3028.

Get thumbnails in RSS feed (self.redditdev)

Hey guys,
I know that for example in /r/pics the .rss output also includes a meta tag to the thumbnail, is there anyway to do this in rss with subreddits which do not have that (for example /r/funny)?
[–]bboe 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
My guess is the subreddit needs to be configured to "show thumbnail images of content". Otherwise I imagine reddit doesn't even bother gathering thumbnails for that subreddit's submissions.

'March Melee'
Justin Greene looked a little out of place inside a six-sided cage Saturday night.
He looked like a boy among men.
But as Greene, 19, demonstrated at "March Melee" at the Knoxville Expo Center, looks mean little in the world of amateur Mixed Martial Arts fighting.
Greene (6-0) successfully defended his 135-pound title with a split-decision victory against Jarrett Degusa. Greene's grappling ability from the guard swayed the fight his way in the eyes of two of three judges.
"It's great that it (MMA) is legal in Tennessee," said Greene, with an ice-pack over his eye. "We never really found my niche until I had something to do like this. I think it's great."

The Union-Recorder
Our new best friend on Mars, the Curiosity rover, is currently testing its power drill for a first sample gathering task. Since the rover landed on the Red Planet, all of its equipment and tools have been checked out and passed with flying colors. Now things get serious for Curiosity's rock-boring device.
The idea is to not only drill a hole (been there, done that with other rovers) but to actually catch some of the dust created by the drilling. The dust will then be loaded into one of Curiosity's on board laboratories for proper analysis.
You can imagine how nerve-wracking it is when your drill operator is on another planet, and you don't actually find out until 20 minutes later, when your radio signal has traveled to Mars and back, that it's actually done anything — and done it in the right place! So during the actual drilling procedure, the rover is pretty much on its own, relying on its programming to complete the task. Fortunately Curiosity has a lot of artificial brain power under the hood; after all, it was designed to be smart enough to do this job.
Still, engineers have no idea how this adventure will turn out. So far Curiosity's track record has been a long line of successes. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the newest dentist in the solar system rocks at drilling!
Rock No. 2 making the news is actually an asteroid coming uncomfortably close to Earth. As you might know, space rocks cross the Earth's path all the time — most of them are just grains of dust, lighting up the night sky as meteors or shooting stars. Some are big enough to survive until they hit the ground as meteorites, and they may become prized collectibles. And some are so big they can literally wipe out life as we know it.
The dinosaurs — if they could talk — could tell us a thing or two about that.
On Feb. 15 a 148 foot diameter space rock called 2012 DA 14 will pass just 17,200 miles above the earth. And if that sounds like a lot, consider that it is less than the 22,000 miles distance at which geosynchronous satellites orbit.
A little too close for comfort, maybe? Sure thing. But it shouldn't keep you awake at night. There are people out there who get paid for this kind of insomniac job. They track these so-called Near Earth Objects (NEO for short — we do love our acronyms at NASA) and it's their job to alert us if they calculate a possible collision.
Now, a rock of the size of 2012 DA 14 can do quite a bit of damage locally, if it were to fall on Earth, although it would most likely break apart in the atmosphere. But it wouldn't be able to wipe us off the face of the Earth.
People on the other side of the planet will actually be able to see this rock zoom on by overhead.
For the rest of us, hey, what do you know… lullaby, and good-night…
Check out NASA's NEO webpage at http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/. Your inner worry wart will be ecstatic.

By Caleb Slinkard
Journal Staff
The internet social networking giant that is Facebook is planning to "go public" sometime this year, a fact that has some people worried. Facebook's initial public offering (IPO) is not set in stone, but the company did say that they wanted to raise some $5 billion by selling a small portion of their shares. While the earning potential for the company, which made $667 million in profit last year according to their IPO filing, is obvious, expanding the company's income could prove problematic as more and more users access Facebook from their mobile devices (which have far less advertisements). But a lot of the uncertainty clogging up business journals and tech websites revolves around our love-fear relationship with 27-year-old billionaire Mark Zuckerberg's creation.
It's easy to see that Facebook has changed the way we perceive social interaction, the way we use the internet, and even our relationships (the term 'Facebook official' is now used when two individuals update their relationship status to indicate that they are together).
But we are also terrified of how the company is using our private information and photos that we share so willingly. Facebook has received a lot of negative publicity in recent months because of the way they set up their privacy settings (you often have to physically go change the default settings to ensure that random users can't peruse every detail of your life you choose to share).
Facebook claims 900 million users, but 59 percent of people surveyed by AP-CNBC say they "had little to no trust in Facebook to keep their information private." That poll was published last Tuesday.
It's an odd example of cognitive dissonance that sees Facebook users spend an average of six to seven hours a month on the website, posting status updates, tagging friends in photos, and informing their followers where they are and what they're doing on a daily basis, despite distrusting the way the website uses this information.
It seems like an easy problem to solve. Are you worried about what Facebook will do with your information? Simply shutdown your profile and don't visit the website. But deleting a Facebook account seems like removing one's main access to social interaction. After all, when was the last time you sent someone an actual letter? We associate emails with business interactions, but who would want to read a 500 word email? People still talk on the phone, but not as much as they text.
Besides, users can share photo albums with 250 people at a time. They can receive instant validation on what they're doing, what they like, or what thought just popped into their head. It's a great way to waste time, catch up with friends all over the globe, or simply see what your "friends" are up to (affectionately known as Facebook stalking).
Regardless of how much users don't trust Facebook, it's plain to see that we as a culture have shifted to think in terms of status updates and 'likes.' We've gained access to a huge amount of private, social information that we can instantly interact with, and as a culture we've begun to assume such access is a right, not a privilege. As long as we think about it those terms, we will continue to load all of the private information we can into a website we intrinsically don't trust.

It Happens
It's no secret that Penn students like to get creative in the bathroom. OK, fine, maybe the words "primitive," "deranged" or "seriously stupid" are better descriptors of Quaker toilet etiquette in light of recent events. It seems that the Quad, that Mecca of all things classy and tasteful, has again been the victim of toilet violence.
You see, some morally-lacking female miscreants have taken to avoiding using the toilet bowl in favor of using– well… not the bowl. One G.A. got concerned and went to the press (Quad listservs, DUH) in the hopes of correcting this s(h)ituation. Check out the full e-mail after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome from all of us at Affton Patch to Dr. Travis Bracht, who joined this month as the .
We asked Bracht to tell us a little about himself. We asked him five questions (in bold), and here's what he had to say:
Welcome to the Affton School District! What are you hoping to bring to our community in your new position?
I hope to bring bring leadership that helps support and guide our administrators, teachers, parents, and community to understand what it takes to prepare students to be career and college ready in the 21st century.
What exactly is an Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment? What will you do? What should we come to you for?
I would characterize the position as one that supervises, monitors, develops, and provides clear expectations to all of the stakeholders such as administrators, teachers, directors, coordinators, and chairpersons who play a vital role in executing all of the various programs and tasks that support student learning.
This position will strive to lead the district's continuous improvement efforts by ensuring that teachers have a viable curriculum that is guaranteed through the implementation of high-leverage instructional practices while supporting teachers with high-quality professional development. I would be a good resource for information on the latest federal and state accountability measures that are currently in place and how Affton is working to meet these requirements.
How long have you been in the community? Where were you before this? What have you done that prepares you for this new position?
This is my 15th year in education, and I recently moved to St. Louis from St. Charles. The last 10 years I have worked for the Francis Howell School District in St. Charles County were I served as a high school science teacher and coach, Dean of Students, Associate Principal, and Director.
The last five years as a district office administrator I gained experience in the areas of curriculum, instruction, assessment, budget, student acceleration, summer school, professional development, and technology integration. For the past two years I have co-chaired the St. Louis Area Curriculum Coordinator's Association and in May of 2011 I earned by Doctorate degree from Lindenwood Universtiy as well as gaining Superintendent certification.
Tell us about your family! Who supports you?
My wife, Kelly, and I have been married for just over 10 years and are the proud masters of two Weimaraner rescue dogs, Lola and Biggie. Kelly currently serves as a high school assistant principal in the Ferguson-Florissant School District and she earned her Doctorate degree last year from Lindenwood University. I come from a family of educators, my mother being a retired librarian and my father a retired elementary principal and former school board member. In addition, my grandfather served many years as a superintendent in several rural school districts in Missouri.
What is the most embarrassing song on your iPod? (Yes, you have to answer!)
What is an iPod (just kidding)? Well, I have a pretty diverse selection from classical, to rock n' roll, to country, to pop, to 80's and yes, even rap. So, I will go with Hangin' Tough by New Kids on the Block. My wife slipped that one in there on me when I wasn't paying attention.

Knox Crowdfunding Project of the Month:
Guerilla Grill - Mobile Gourmet Kitchen
Food trucks may be experiencing a bumpy road to local acceptance—with a city policy still being formulated and many downtown restaurateurs wishing they'd park somewhere else—but we do know one thing: adventurous diners really like them. But will curbside eaters be supportive enough to actually donate money to bring another food truck into existence? Adam Crawford is banking on it—not just for funding, but also for ideas. "With crowd-funding, I feel that a person gets a much clearer reflection of what people want," he says. What he envisions is a globe-trotting menu that will be "mixing up Southeastern fare with a very strong pan-Asian influence"—and he plans to serve it from a 31-foot 1974 Airstream. To retrofit this silver streamliner for food duty, he is seeking $10,000, which will help pay for the cooking hardware, plumbing, propane lines, tires, and a vehicle to tow it all. Wouldn't Knoxville be about 15 percent more interesting with an Airstream food truck? If you agree, head to indiegogo.com. (Note: the lack of a second "r" in Guerilla is intentional.)

Video: Awesome Fruit Ninja available at Ovi Store, demoed on Nokia N8
Ladies and gents, an awesome game has appeared on the Ovi Store for Symbian^3 – it's the smash hit Fruit Ninja and it's just £1.00/99 cents. Great app, fantastic price! All my iThingy friends love this game and now you can try it out too. If you haven't heard of this game before, we have the brilliant Camb078 again to demo it for us.
The worldwide smash hit game Fruit Ninja is now available for Nokia C7 & N8! Fruit Ninja is a juicy action game with squishy, splatty and satisfying fruit carnage! Become the ultimate bringer of sweet, tasty destruction with every slash. Swipe up across the screen to deliciously slash fruit like a true ninja warrior. With three games modes in single player the addictive gameplay will keep you coming back for even higher scores. Fruit Ninja is the original and the best slasher on Nokia C7 & N8!
There are 3 Single player modes available for you to play, namely Classic ( Unlimited time, Do not hit bombs or lose fruits ), Arcade mode (limited time [1:30], Bombs have minus points, has power up bananas) and the Zen mode ( limited time [1:00] no bombs) .While you progress through, you will be able to unlock many achievements that will eventually appear in the Dojo. However there is no Multiplayer and no achievements tracking in online, everything is local. And surprisingly, the game does not detect more than one touch, while it happily detects 5 touches on my iPod touch 4g.
Performance is great, no lag whatsoever. Give it a try, but, beware, it is very addictive.
Cheers Dan for the heads up!

Investigating UPF's design
A spokesman for the National Nuclear Security Administration today confirmed that the agency is doing an audit of the design work on the Uranium Processing Facility, which proved inadequate in the first go-round and is having to be redone in order to accommodate all of the equipment.
"A review of the UPF design is currently underway and is being led by (Federal Project Director) John Eschenberg," spokesman Steven Wyatt said by email. "This is an internal NNSA review and includes some outside technical resources."

Treatment of Jones Fracture Nonunions and Refractures in the Elite Athlete Outcomes of Intramedullary Screw Fixation With Bone Grafting
2011; 39 (9): 1948-1954
Fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal metaphysis (ie, the Jones fracture) can be problematic in the elite athlete because of a high incidence of nonunion and refracture with nonoperative treatment. Although these fractures are not common, athletes can suffer refracture or nonunion of a Jones fracture despite operative stabilization. This is often attributable to hardware of insufficient strength, aggressive postoperative rehabilitation, or biologic insufficiency at the fracture site.The authors review the results of revision intramedullary screw fixation with cancellous autologous bone grafting or bone-marrow aspirate combined with demineralized bone matrix after refracture or nonunion of Jones fractures in elite athletes. StudyCase series; Level of evidence, 4.The authors retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiographic outcomes and return to sport in 21 elite athletes undergoing treatment of Jones fracture refractures or nonunions. All patients underwent intramedullary screw fixation with autologous bone graft (12 patients), bone-marrow aspirate (BMA) + demineralized bone matrix (DBM) (8 patients), or no bone graft (1 patient).All athletes were able to return to their previous level of athletic competition at an average of 12.3 weeks. All fractures showed clinical and radiographic evidence of compete cortical healing. Only 1 patient subsequently suffered a refracture.The authors recommend revision fixation with a large, solid screw (5.5 mm or larger) and autologous bone grafting for symptomatic refractures and nonunions of the proximal fifth metatarsal in elite athletes. Additional investigation is needed to determine whether BMA combined with DBM is an effective substitute for cancellous autograft.

Burglar arrested after allegedly victimizing Belmont couple
Robert Martel, 30, whose last known address was 336 Central Street, Apt. 24, Franklin, with charged with Class A felony burglary and Class A theft of a motor vehicle when police apprehended him just south of Exit 19 on Interstate 93, according to Police Lt. Richard Mann.
Martel refused to comply with booking procedures at the station and also refused the services of a bail commissioner. He was taken to the Belknap County Jail where he will be held until his arraignment on Monday.
On Friday at 12:27 p.m., an elderly Belmont couple came home from shopping and found an unfamiliar vehicle parked in their driveway at their Cross Street home. Police did not release the names of the alleged robbery victims.
"The homeowners, unaware of the danger they were about to encounter, parked their car behind an unknown SUV," Mann said, which was later found to be owned by Martel.
Upon entering their home they came across two exterior doors that had been forced open. They confronted Martel inside their home, carrying a pillow case from the couple's bedroom," Mann said.
"The elderly male yelled for his wife to call 911 as the intruder ran passed them both headed for the driveway," Mann said. "In the driveway a brief struggle took place between the intruder and the male homeowner. The intruder tried to escape in his own vehicle but was unable to as the homeowner's car was behind his."
Mann said Martel then stole the homeowners' car and "fled the area at a high rate of speed." Two Belmont officers, who were at the home within 90 seconds of the residents' 911 call, rendered aid to the homeowner, who had sustained a hand injury as a result of the struggle in the driveway with Martel, he said.
Belmont Officers immediately put out a radio broadcast requesting that area police departments and troopers be on the lookout for the stolen car. Tilton Police Chief Robert Cormier located the stolen car travelling west on Route 3 in Tilton by the Tanger Outlet Mall and followed the stolen car onto 93 South.
Martel was stopped by several police officers and arrested just south of Exit 19 after police had closed a section of the highway while in pursuit of him.
Jewelry stolen from the home was recovered inside the stolen car. The homeowners were working with Belmont detectives late Friday afternoon, making a full accounting of property stolen from the home.
"The homeowners were obviously shaken up by the event but were happy to hear that an arrest had been made," Mann said.
"If a homeowner comes across an unfamiliar vehicle in their driveway it is always best to seek the assistance of their local police department before they enter their home so they do not place themselves unknowingly in harm's way," Mann said.
The Belmont Police Department was assisted in this investigation by a contingent of law enforcement officers including State Police, Tilton Police, Northfield Police, Sanbornton Police and the Belknap County Sheriff's Office.

The Washington Wizards are a team in flux, playing at the level of a legitimate postseason team in recent weeks despite having absolutely no chance of reaching the playoffs, which makes the trade deadline an unusually difficult situation to deal with. Most teams can see themselves as buyers or sellers, either focusing on today or tomorrow.
But with the Wizards, that focus isn't exactly clear. Holding one of the worst records in the league, you'd expect the Wizards to be selling off players and trying to acquire young assets, but instead, they've been tied to big names like Josh Smith and, before he was traded, Rudy Gay.
The Wizards' outlook
To be fair, if you can accurately describe the Wizards' outlook, you're probably quite the wordsmith. Few teams in the league have a murkier future than this one, which has evolved from arguably the biggest punching bag in the league to one of its most difficult opponents over the course of just a few weeks.
Now, of course, much of that recent success can be tied to the return of quasi-franchise player John Wall, who instantly changed the atmosphere around the team from the moment he stepped onto the court in January. Though his personal numbers haven't been great, the effect that he's had on his teammates is obvious.
Is Wall a true franchise player? Based on the definition provided by the likes of LeBron James and Kevin Durant, the easy answer is no, as SB Nation's Wizards blog, Bullets Forever, writes. But Wall is still a player worth building around in this league, particularly for a franchise that's lost a good deal of fan support in recent years.
With a roster centered around Wall, Nene, Bradley Beal and Emeka Okafor, the Wizards have actually been quite successful of late. The defense in particular has been an impressive, a testament to the fact that Randy Wittman still has these players buying in even after a truly miserable start to the season.
At this point, one imagines that the Wizards are shooting mostly to win next season, with the remaining months of this season providing a jumping point for that success in the near future. Does that involve shaking things up a little in the next day or two? We'll see.
Jordan Crawford, most obvious of trade chips
Rarely does a team looking to improve consider trading away its second-best scorer, but it's not often that such a player finds himself in the coach's doghouse for weeks at a time. Alas, this is the saga of Wizards guard Jordan Crawford that folks around D.C. are so familiar with.
Despite being an electrifying scorer at times, capable of repeatedly making those shots you wish he'd simply never take, Crawford's play had become something of an issue in recent weeks as Wittman tried to instill an intense defensive attitude into his team.
Never a particularly good or energetic defender throughout his career, Crawford seemed like an easy place for Wittman to make his point, that effort on defense and well-rounded play are more important than the ability to score in one-on-one situations. As a result, he's lost playing time to former D-Leaguer Garrett Temple.
If the Wizards' plan was always to trade Crawford, his reaction to the benching has been less-than-ideal. After Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors, just the latest DNP-CD for Crawford, the guard was seen tossing his jersey into the stands after the game.
Factoring in previous reports stating Washington's desire to deal Crawford, Bullets Forever laid things out flatly on Wednesday morning: "The bottom line: no matter which side is initiating the offers, it seems reasonably possible that Crawford has played his final game in D.C."
Making just $1,198,680 this season with a $2,162,419 club option for 2013-14 on his contract, Crawford is one of the few available players this week that can rack up buckets and won't cost a pretty penny.
So, what's to be expected?
Other than a Crawford trade that seems almost inevitable at this point, it's unlikely that the Wizards will make any major moves this week. They were temporarily bandied about as one legitimate suitor for Hawks forward Josh Smith, but interest in that kind of deal has reportedly disappeared.
It'd be nice to see the team poke around for another ballhandler (OKC's Eric Maynor?) or another solid big man (Houston's Patrick Patterson?), but it seems like those kinds of additions are more likely to come during the summer.

Some days ago I wrote about Drik's upcoming exhibition on cross fire or extra judicial killing by the police and RAB of Bangladesh. One could predict that the authorities might be reacting, especially when we have a precedence that the Tibet exhibition in Dhaka (also by Drik) was stopped by police.
Here are the Twitter messages by Shahidul Alam from Yesterday:
Mar 22nd 4:07 PM police at Drik. Demanding "Crossfire" show be stopped.
Mar 22nd 4:07 PMEarlier RAB media cell rang saying we needed special permission to show pictures related to RAB. Livestreaming at www.drik.tv
The event was being inaugurated yesterday by Indian writer and human rights activist Mahasweta Devi, along with Nurul Kabir, editor of the New Age, M Hamid, chief executive officer of RTV and Jorge Vilacorta, a curator from Peru. According to the police the exhibition would create 'unrest.'
The 'Crossfire' gallery was closed around 3:30pm yesterday, which was scheduled to start at 4:00pm.
Drik said that the Police could not show any warrant, court order or any executive order.
Shahidul Alam who set up the exhibition said," Police asked me whether I have permission for the exhibition. Crossfire for which police do not need permission, then why should I have permission for the exhibition?"
Now the question is what is the rule of law say? Does every exhibition require prior police permission? If so why the rule is applied in specific circumstances and not for all? And will RAB ever give permission if they are the guilty ones? Who will police the police? Is there any accountability of the police forces? Or is Bangladesh becoming a police state?
