text: Modus Media Inc., which handles customer services and manages inventories for clients, including Microsoft Corp., said it plans to cut 200 jobs, or 4% of its work force, as it closes a plant in Fremont, Calif., to consolidate its North American operations. Modus Media, based in Westwood, Mass., said it will help its employees at the Fremont site find jobs in its other plants or outside the company. The plant is expected to be shuttered by September, and its work will be transferred to sites in North Carolina, Washington and Utah. The closely held company said it's also opening a plant in Guadalajara, Mexico. Modus Media, with 1999 sales of $697 million, provides customer support, inventory management, software packaging and computer assembly for companies such as AT&T Corp., Dell Computer Corp., and other technology and Internet companies.

Bargain hunters can hit the mother lode on Saturday. The Bloomingdeals "department store" opens to the public at 8 a.m. Saturday, March 26.
This inaugural sale by the Junior Service League of Maryville will offer shoppers bargains and the opportunity to support less-fortunate children in the community.
The Bloomingdeals Spring Sale will happen from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 26, in the former offices of the Good Samaritan Clinic at 116 Chantilly Lane.
"It was the brainchild of our board retreat we had last summer," said Amanda Stone, JSL president. "The Junior League of Knoxville does a similar event, and we're getting pointers from them. As a group, we felt like, given the state of the economy, it was going to be good a fundraiser for us, but would also benefit the community as a whole."
Katherine Best Caputo, co-chair of the event, said members wanted to try something new. During the past several years, the group's main fundraising events were Breakfast With Santa and a Princess, Pirates and Pals Breakfast in the spring.
"We felt we needed to do something new and doing a sale like this is sort of a service to the community as well as a way to raise money for Toys for Blount County," said Caputo.
Stone said items for sale will include "gently-used" clothing for men, women and children, household and kitchen items, furniture and electronics. "It's going to be anything you can think of," she said.
Stone said current JSL members were required to bring items and sustainer members and the public were also encouraged to donate. "We've been collecting for at least a couple months and storing items in a couple different storage units," she said. "We've moved everything over to the sales site, and the members will continue to move, organize and price items this week."
Caputo said the group started planning the event in summer of 2010. "We met with a person from JSL of Knoxville who talked us through the process, and we forged ahead," she said.
Caputo said she, co-chair Kelly Holiday and vice-chairs Kyndra Brewer and Andrea May worked to organize the event. "We've each taken a chunk and made it happen," she said.
"We've gotten a lot of stuff from sustainers, which has had the added bonus of being a great way to keep in touch with them."
JSL sustainers are former JSL members who have finished their years with JSL and now serve in an advisory/alumni role.
Caputo said the project has highlighted the talents JSL members have. "Emily Longhurst designed a logo for us, and Kyndra Brewer got us a billboard for the week and a commercial on WBIR," she said. "We have so many top-notch people doing so well."
Stone thanked Dr. John Pittenger and Dr. Jerome Heiny for donating the use of the building. "It's a great space, and it is a good location. Without their help, it would have been more difficult to do this sale. We just asked them to donate the space, and they were glad to do it," she said. "It is vacant property they own that's for sale. It used to be their office, and, at one point, was the Good Samaritan Clinic."
Stone said shoppers should find it easy to browse through Bloomingdeals. "It is going to be organized kind of like a department store, which I think will make it easier to shop," she said.
The league president said the work has been good for the group. "We've had fun sorting through and organizing all the items. It is interesting to sort through the randomness, plus it is another opportunity for us as a group to spend time together."
Caputo said the project has been fun, even though there was plenty of work involved. "Because it is more of a process than our previous one-day breakfasts. I've gotten to know other members better," she said. "We're working together, whether it is while pricing or sorting, there's fellowship involved. That's important to a civic organization like us."
Stone said the JSL members love the community. "We want to do our part to help people who need our help," she said.
Proceeds from the Bloomingdeals Spring Sale will benefit Toys for Blount County, an annual toy drive that has collected Christmas gifts for Blount County's children in need since 1972. The Junior Service League of Maryville works year round to provide toys to more than 1,400 area children in need each year. For more information, visit www.jslmaryville.org. This is the organizations second fundraiser the year. They also produce The Santa Breakfast which was presented by Foothills Bank and Trust.
The Bloomingdeals Sale will be located at 116 Chantilly Lane, the former office for Dr. John Pittenger and Dr. Jerome Heiny. It is located off East Lamar Alexander Parkway just past Hardee's on Chantilly Lane. After turning right onto Chantilly Lane from East Lamar Alexander Parkway, the office/parking lot is on the left past the City Drug building.

No matter how experienced a genealogist is in the records of a particular locality, time period or ethnic group, when genealogy research takes us to a new locality we are all novices. Perhaps not novice in genealogical methodology and best practices, but definitely a newbie when it comes to knowledge of available genealogical records, genealogical archives and repositories, geographical boundaries, online resources and major events that may have affected record creation and/or availability.
1. Get to Know the Area
It is very difficult to be an effective genealogist without using maps - especially when expanding your research to a new location. Locating your family on a map can help you determine which courthouse or church may have been the easiest for them to reach. Familiarity with geographical features such as creeks and swamps in the area where your ancestors lived can help you more easily recognize neighbors when you run across them in the records. Knowledge of changing geographical and historical boundaries is also essential when researching in a new locality.
Historical Maps Online
2. Learn the Jurisdictions
Knowing the jurisdictions where records were created and maintained for a particular area is critical for knowing that you have conducted a reasonably exhaustive search of available genealogical records. Some records may be kept at the town or local level, while others were maintained at the county, parish, state or even country level. Records created locally may have been transferred to a state or regional archive. Changing boundary line can also affect where you may find the records of your ancestors. Use a locality-specific genealogical research guide to acquaint yourself with available records. Other good options for learning about jurisdictions include:
- FamilySearch Research Wiki - genealogy research guides for countries around the world
- WorldGenWeb - drill down by country
- Everton's Handybook for Genealogists - U.S. research
3. Consult Local Histories
Local histories often provide details on the first settlers and how they arrived, along with information on major events that may have affected the people who lived there and the records that were generated and kept (or lost). Military actions, epidemics, natural catastrophies, local laws and major record losses are all events that may affect the course of your research. The library serving that locality is a great place to start, but when that's not practical turn to Google Books and other online sources of published local and family histories.
4. Scope Out FamilySearch
Whenever I begin research in a new locality, I often begin by searching the Family History Library Catalog to see what records they have available on microfilm for that location, as well as Historical Records to see what might be available online. While they may not have filmed even a fraction of the total records available, the ones they do have will often get you started. Online records from FamilySearch are currently hiding in a few different places as they reorganize into a new Web site, so you'll want to check both Historical Records for most of the digitized and indexed records created through FamilySearch Indexing, as well as the IGI for records indexed through their records extraction project. Best of all - everything here is free!
5. Read the Newspaper
Historical newspapers, when available, offer a unique glimpse into the events affecting a local community and the people who lived there. Search online historical newspaper archives such as Google News Archive, GenealogyBank.com and NewspaperArchive.com to see if newspapers are available that cover your ancestors' locality. Check the local library to see if they have an obituary index or even online archived newspapers. A Google search for newspaper archive "your locality name" may turn up additional sources. Once you locate a newspaper of interest, try these 7 Tips for Searching Historical Newspapers Online to help locate information on your ancestors.
6. Connect with the Locals
Once you've done some preliminary background research, individuals already doing research in the locality are a good place to turn with specific questions. They are the ones who know the ins and outs of the local courthouse, library and other repositories; how long you might have to wait to receive a death certificate; the whereabouts of local cemeteries... Join the local genealogical or historical society. Post questions to a locality-specific genealogy forum or mailing list. Or even hire a local genealogist to do some of the research for you.

Number of calculated students up despite enrollment dip
By RACHAEL GRAY
By RACHAEL GRAY
Overall enrollment for USD 457 may be down slightly, but the number of students counted for state aid per pupil may be up.
According to Kathleen Whitley, financial officer, the total number of students in the district is down by 43 but the full-time equivalency student number is up by 30.
Documents from the district showed 7,595 students were counted this fall, as compared to 7,638 for the 2011 audited enrollment.
The district's student population had been increasing for the past three years. Last school year, enrollment increased 59 students over the previous year, and the year prior, the growth was 88 students.
The numbers for this year are preliminary and will not be official until the school is audited in March, Whitley said.
"We have fewer students that are part-time than we had last year. Maybe fewer kindergarten and preschool, too," she said.
Whitley said some high school students are not full-time, such as the ones who attend classes at Garden City Community College.
"I think now the students are taking more of those college classes at the high school," she said, explaining why there are more full-time equivalency students.
State aid for school districts is distributed based upon a full-time equivalency (FTE) formula. For example, a kindergarten pupil is counted as 0.5 in the formula while other students are counted as 1.0. Some high school seniors, Whitley said, may be counted as less than 1.0 because they may not carry a full course load, the result of already having finished or nearly finished the credits required for graduation. There are other variables figured into the FTE formula.
Other school budget funds come from property taxes. The bulk of the budget comes from dollars administered and distributed by the Kansas State Department of Education from various funds, the largest of which is general state aid.
The district will receive a per-pupil amount of $3,838 per weighted student. Weighted students are those who qualify for free lunches, English Language Learner students, students involved in vocational educational programs and students who rely on the district for transportation.
The state aid per pupil is up from last year's amount of $3,780.
The number of students at Garden City High School may have increased since last year, according to the preliminary numbers.
The fall count shows 2,065 students at GCHS as compared to 1,961 students for the 2011 audited enrollment.
FTE enrollment for GCHS for this year shows 2,061.8 unaudited as compared to 1,933 adjusted audited enrollment for 2011, according to district documents.
Whitley said it's hard to compare facilities to the same facilities as last year because of the changing of the school boundaries.
"There's been a whole lot of switching around. You can't really compare last year's building counts to this year's," she said.
In June 2011, the USD 457 Board of Education approved the first change to the school boundaries since the 1997-98 school year.
The board approved changes to the boundaries at a March BOE meeting.
The adjustment to school boundaries affected five elementary schools and the district's two intermediate centers.
The changes affect Abe Hubert, Alta Brown, Georgia Matthews, Jennie Barker and Victor Ornelas elementary schools. The boundaries of the two intermediate centers, Charles O. Stones Intermediate Center and Bernadine Sitts Intermediate Center, also were adjusted.
The changes to the boundaries were necessary after an enrollment analysis determined that some schools would have too many students if boundaries remain unchanged. The adjustments will allow for growth at the schools and allow balance at the two intermediate centers, according to a statement released by Roy Cessna, USD 457 public information officer.
The boundaries change is part of the long-range facilities plan that converted Garfield Early Childhood Center to just house the early childhood programs, created Horace Good Middle School out of the former high school, converted Abe Hubert into an elementary school and moved GCHS into its brand new building.

What could be more interesting to a teenager than spending a few days each summer on the beach at Galveston? I got to spend my time on the beach back in the 1950s.
My first trip to Galveston was in 1956, when I was 15. Mother, dad and I rode the train, as dad was working for the railroad and we could ride the train free. After finding a place for me to stay, mother and dad came back home.
I spent two months in Galveston that summer, much of it playing on the beach. Stewart Beach, on the east end of the island was "the" place to be. If things got dull on the beach I would walk over to the north side of the island and ride the Port Bolivar Ferry. You often got to see some of the large freighters going up the Houston Ship Channel while riding the ferry.
The Naval Destroyer USS Beale docked at Galveston over the Fourth of July weekend. The public was invited to come on board on the Fourth. Getting to go aboard a naval destroyer was quite exciting to a 15-year-old. There was one problem. I went on board about mid-afternoon, wearing loafers with leather soles. The steel deck was getting pretty hot by this time of day, and it wasn't long before my feet started feeling the heat. It didn't take long for me to find the way below deck and check out that area while my feet cooled off.
The USS Beale is a Fletcher-class destroyer, the second ship of the U.S. Navy to be named for Lt. Edward Fitzgerald Beale (1822-93). The USS Beale served in the Pacific during World War II.
After these two months in 1956, I was hooked. I spent several days each summer in Galveston over the next three years. At that time dad had what was known as an annual pass, similar to a credit card. All I had to do was get on the train, show the pass to the conductor, and I was on my way to Galveston.
During this time there were four passenger trains a day coming through Cleburne. The Texas Chief had two trains, one northbound and one southbound, that came through about 20 minutes apart between noon and 1 p.m. Then, there was what we called the mail train which came through between midnight and 1 a.m.
The Texas Chief only made three stops after leaving Cleburne and they were Temple, Houston and Galveston. The mail trains stopped at every town that had anything that looked like a depot, not so much to let off and pick up passengers, but to drop off and pick up mail.
If the town did not have a depot but was large enough to have a post office, someone from the post office would meet the train at a designated spot with their outgoing mail. There would be a pole by the tracks with a hook on it for the mail sack to be hung on. There was a hook on the mail car that stuck out just far enough to catch the loop of the mail sack just under the hook on the pole and take the sack off the pole.
The train would slow down to about 20 mph as they came to a mail drop and as the hook was removing the mail sack from the pole, the mail handler in the mail car would toss the bag of incoming mail to the postal employee on the ground.
The mail train is the one I rode. After getting on the train just before 1 a.m., I would sleep until sun-up, which usually occurred a while before arriving in Houston. I usually carried a snack for breakfast, which I ate going from Houston to Galveston. The train usually arrived in Galveston around 7 a.m., and I would head for Stewart Beach. This would give me a full day to play around on the beach before catching the train back home that night.
These trips were very inexpensive. At noon I would eat at the snack bar at Stewart Beach, which consisted of a hamburger and coke. The burger was 50 cents and the coke was 25 cents, which was more expensive than they were in town but it saved a long walk. I would usually go back to the concession stand about mid-afternoon and get another coke, making my expenses at Stewart Beach $1.
I would usually head back to the depot about an hour and a half before time for the train to leave. There was a small café across the street from the depot where the train men ate. They had a great deviled crab plate for $3.85, which I usually got. The train left about 6 p.m. and arrived in Cleburne just after midnight. This brought my total day's expense to just under $5, making for a very inexpensive 24-hour trip to the beach at Galveston.
I always had a few dollars extra with me and often went shopping for souvenirs at some of the shops along the seawall.
I believe it was in September 1958 that we heard of a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, just south of Galveston. I had never seen a hurricane and decided this would be my best chance to see one. As I was getting ready to catch the train, mother asked, "What will you do if the hurricane hits while you are there?" I told her, "I'll go to the depot and go to some of the upper floors. It supposedly survived the 1900 hurricane."
When I got to the beach the next morning the sky was heavily overcast and the surf was coming in extra high. We could see the hurricane sitting out over the waters of the Gulf. It must have been 20 or 30 miles out, but it appeared a lot closer. There was a ring of clouds circling the eye, they were rolling over and over as they circled. These clouds were very low over the water, appearing to be no more than 100 feet; however, at that distance they could have been up 1,000 feet. Beneath these clouds everything was an eerie dark green color and you could see the rain pouring down.
The train was crowded as it pulled out of the station that night. Everyone was leaving the island before the hurricane hit, and that was all everyone was talking about. The hurricane hit the west end of Galveston Island early the next morning.
That was one trip that I did not take a camera and I have regretted ever since not taking any pictures of the hurricane.

The Waterford Police Department is asking residents to be vigilant and to call the department if they see anything unusual after a string of daytime burglaries this weekend.
Since Thursday, there have been three unsolved daytime residential burglaries in town – two near Pepperbox Road and the third on Cross Road, according to Waterford Police Lt. Jeff Nixon. What makes the burglaries unusual is they are happening in the daytime, although Nixon said there isn't enough information yet to consider them related.
"There are some similarities, but there are some differences as well," Nixon said. "They are under investigation."
Nixon is encouraging residents to call police if anything looks suspicious, and again encouraged people to lock their doors. A vigilant resident led to the arrest of somebody allegedly stealing from cars this weekend, he said.
That Arrest
This weekend, a resident called the Waterford Police Department after they saw a man reportedly trying to open cars in a commercial parking lot, Nixon said. A Waterford Police Officer soon found the man, 37-year-old Jose Garcia of New London, in a residential neighborhood, Nixon said.
Garcia, in a discussion with the police officer, allegedly said he was stealing from unlocked cars around Waterford, both in commercial lots and residential neighborhoods, Nixon said. Garcia allegedly would walk around a parking lot or a neighborhood, stopping at every car to pull on the door handle, and if it was unlocked he allegedly would go inside and steal items within the car, Nixon said.
Garcia was allegedly stealing mostly cash, cell phones, GPS devices and other small items he could grab, Nixon said. He was charged Monday with two counts of third-degree burglary, two counts of sixth-degree larceny, possession of narcotics and third-degree criminal mischief.
Nixon encouraged people to lock their car doors, even if they are just parking on the road or in a driveway, and to keep items like GPS devices, cell phones or pocketbooks hidden within the car. He also said Garcia would have not been caught had it not been for a resident telling the police about him, and encouraged the public to call police if something looks suspicious.
The Waterford Police Department's non-emergency phone line is 860-442-9451.

When talk turns to the Stones, he again emphasizes the band's currency, "As I said to you when we were talking with Keith," says Jagger, "I was so insistent that we put out a new album, because I thought the Stones were becoming just a nostalgia thing. And they are nostalgia. They're out there selling their catalog and we're playing these old songs because a lot of them people want to hear. But you've got to put out new things. You've got to think for the future. The past is the past. It's gone, thank you very much.
"I hope younger people just see the band as a band, without the baggage of history," Jagger continues. "You can't deny the history's there; I'm not denying it's there. But I'm not really interested in the history of the band. I'm not really interested in what happened then. I'm still interested in the songs — if they hold up. I'm not interested in doing them just as history. I'm more interested in doing new things. I'm just not that orientated toward the past. I think it's a waste of time. It's dumb. It's done, nothing's gonna change it."
As for the Stones' future, Jagger addresses that in pragmatic terms as well. "You can't particularly plan the future that hard and fast," he says. "I mean, they want us to go and tour Japan, which is easy, lots of money, so you say, 'Yeah, okay.' And then Europe. You say, 'Well, yeah, but not hundreds of shows,' because Europe is, like, a terrible nightmare compared to this. It's not so much money, it's much harder work, it's endless border problems, it's huge tax problems. No one gets that much money, you never know how much you're going to get, the stage can't be as good. It's a logistical nightmare. I was just doing that before you came in: How many thousands of hours can the stage be put up and how can we do it and on and on.
"I hate doing these other things," continues Jagger, "because America's like A and everything else is B — and living with B is never as good. It's like you rent a Ferrari and you have to be in a Honda the next day, and it just isn't very good. And you have to live with it.
"I don't know. After that, I don't know what happens, really. I've got enough planning to get to the end of this monstrous week: pay-per-views, special guests, song lists for Axl." Jagger suddenly brightens, his hard, blue-gray eyes lighting up. "It's quite amusing, really. It always comes out right at the end, right?"
But isn't it hard shifting gears between the business and the artistry of the Stones? "Not really," he says, stirring his tea. "I'm used to doing it. I mean, people say, 'You shouldn't do it. Mick does too much.' But if I don't do it, it'll get fucked up. I read these things always: 'Mick's the one calculating; Keith's passionate.' But, I mean, I'm really passionate about getting things right. And if I'm not passionate about the details, some slovenly person that's employed in this organization will just let everything go, and you'll end up with a lot of crap. It degenerates very, very quickly. To be honest, no one can do that for you. Maybe that's one of the reasons the Rolling Stones thing comes off."
Without a doubt. And Jagger is as proud of his version of the Rolling Stones as Richards is of his. "This was the huge challenge: to do a good record and a good tour," Jagger says. "And I think we've done really well. I mean, the record could have been better, there could have been more hits on it; it could have sold more. But, apart from that, the tour did really well. There's not been one night — and I'm a terrible critic of the Rolling Stones, I've said when they've been fucking useless — where I've felt that the band has not been worth the money paid. I'm quite pleased. I think the Rolling Stones have been very, very professional and kept a very high standard."

The European Central Bank unveiled an aggressive plan to buy the bonds of financially flailing countries such as Spain and Italy, its boldest step yet to stanch the continent's 3-year-old debt crisis and one that could lift the U.S. and the global economies.
The bond-buying plan unveiled Thursday is intended to stimulate economic growth by reducing the borrowing costs for cooperating Eurozone governments. But its ultimate purpose is to set up a financially adequate and politically acceptable way of containing the crisis and maintaining the survival of the euro currency.

Amazoness QuartetComments0
this wiki
The Amazoness Quartet are some of the most powerful followers of Queen Nehelenia. They are all young girls possessing orbs that give them eternal childhood. Their names are VesVes, CereCere, JunJun, and PallaPalla.
In the anime
The Amazoness Quartet (Amazon Quartet in the English dub) were playing in the forest when they found a dream mirror, which Queen Nehelenia spoke to them through, and began working for her when she gave them their orbs, to keep them young forever.
When it became clear the Amazon Trio could not find Pegasus, Zirconia sent them to eliminate the Amazon Trio. Palla Palla summoned a Lemure named Mr. Magic Pierrot to kill them. However, Mr. Magic Pierrot was destroyed.
From here, the Amazoness Quartet took over searching dream mirrors for Pegasus. They never had to look into them, however, as they were told that the dream mirror that contained Pegasus would be a golden mirror. They searched several dream mirrors and sent several Lemures to fight the Sailor Senshi when they tried to stop them, but all the Lemures were destroyed.
The Amazon Quartet were always getting on Zirconia's nerves (though Nehelenia insisted she keep them around), often calling her "Zirc", "Zirco", "Zirc the Jerk", and "Zirc Face". They also disliked the idea of growing up, feeling it would destroy their dreams.Eventually, the Amazon Quartet fought the Sailor Senshi, but were recalled by Zirconia and given power by Queen Nehelenia. Inside the circus tent, they gained the advantage over the Sailor Senshi, but when Sailor Chibi Moon called Pegasus, Sailor Moon defeated them. They survived, but Sailor Chibi Moon became trapped by Nehelenia shortly after, switched her around with a doll so they could ride Pegasus. They were unable to, however, and Queen Nehelenia imprisoned them inside mirrors in another dimension as punishment after finding out about the doll identity trick. Queen Nehelenia returned them to Zirconia's room during Zirconia's fight with the Sailor Senshi, after Zirconia pleaded with Queen Nehelenia for more assistance because he was losing the battle with the Sailor Senshi team. He then decided to drain the Amazoness's Quartet's power for himself to seek revenge on the Sailor Senshi team, seeing that he was losing the battle with them. The Sailor Senshi convinced the Amazoness Quartet to crush their orbs, and that this would not destroy their dreams even though it meant giving up their eternal childhood. Without their orbs, they no longer possessed Nehelenia's power, but this also meant they couldn't be controlled by Zirconia anymore as part of the Dead Moon Circus, so they were now free to roam by themselves. After realising that they were tricked by Zirconia and were about to die, and having realised that Sailor Moon was there to help save them but didn't have enough power to defeat the now powerful Zirconia and Queen Nehelenia, they decided on a plan to help Sailor Moon. During the Sailor Senshi' fight with Queen Nehelenia, they switched the golden crystal (which was in her possession) with a pineapple, and gave the Golden Crystal to Sailor Moon to enhance Sailor Moon's powers.
After Queen Nehelenia decided to leave Earth and return to her own mirror, the Amazon Quartet decided to leave quietly without a farewell to the Sailor Senshi, saying they might see the Sailor Senshi again sometime and that this is "their style" of a farewell.
In the manga
In the manga, the Amazoness Quartet are present from the very beginning of the Dead Moon Circus' arrival. In the beginning, they discover that the Sailor Senshi can no longer transform and, under orders from Zirconia, they send out the Amazon Trio to attack Sailor Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter. However, during each attack, the Sailor Senshi meet other versions of themselves and gain powered up transformations. They then attack the Senshi directly when Sailor Venus approaches Dark Circus, hoping to regain her transformation as well. Sailor Venus then powers up, after learning that the Senshi powers had only been suppressed for a "growth spurt", and with the help of the other Senshi, defeat the Amazoness Quartet.
Sailor Moon confronts the Amazoness Quartet later on when going to rescue Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn and tries to get them to not give up on their dreams, but Nehelenia attacks them before they can take her hand and traps them in crystal orbs. Later, it is discovered that they are actually the Sailor Quartet, who were sleeping in the Amazon when Nehelenia found them and brainwashed them. They were destined to become Sailor Chibi Moon's sailor team and they return to sleep in the Amazon, saying that they will reawaken when she becomes a full fledged Senshi.
Later in the end of the Sailor Stars Series, they return and join Chibi Sailor Moon in helping Sailor Moon.
- In the English dub of the anime, when they first appear at the arcade, they made up a motto. Their motto is: "Don't dream that you're all grown-up, big dreams are best just for kids!"
- The Amazoness Quartet we the only subvillain group in the manga that were never destroyed, they were rather healed by Sailor Moon and returned to their true forms as Sailor Senshi.

The Bottom Line
The Paper Shower is a combination of wet and dry pre-packaged towelettes that's positioned to be a 'refreshing body wipe on the go.' That's basically what it is. After having a chance to check it out, I'm impressed. The towelettes are strong, held a good amount of liquid, and easily absorbed left over moisture from wet towelette. Good to note that the product is not anti-bacterial, which basically means it isn't loaded with alcohol to dry out your skin.
- Slim and easy to take with you anywhere
- Allows you to wipe up and dry off easily, and discretely
- Sturdy, and absorbent paper for wiping up
- Generous sized towelettes
- Unscented
- A little strange. Useful and practical, but strange
- Doesn't help clean your hair
- A combination of a moist towelette and dry towelette in two attached, but separate packages
- 9 inch by 12 inch sized towelettes
- Don't flush!
- Ingredients are mostly water, Aloe Vera, Glycerin, and more
- Partially made from recycled materials
Guide Review - A Review of the Paper Shower
This is a weird product. But it's pretty darn functional. Maybe you don't run into this problem, but when I travel, it's easy to get overheated running to departure gates, carrying my overloaded luggage from one end of the airport to another, or simply hoofing it to the car rental location. That's where Paper Shower comes in.
The Paper Shower is a unique product that allows you to freshen up easily without having to hit the actual shower. Instead, Paper Shower is a combination of two little packages (about 2 inches by 4 inches and very thin). One contains a nice, moist towelette for wiping off your arms, neck, face, or any areas that are sweaty or hot (that's the shower part). The second container has a dry version of the same towelette that you can follow up with, wiping off (just like a normal towel) after the moist one. That's the "paper" part.
This might not be for everyone, but it's a great idea. When put to the test, the Paper Shower worked nicely. The packages are slim and easy to stick in any travel bag, purse, backpack, or pocket. I've used standard moist towelettes before, but never liked feeling you get when you let your skin air dry after using them. The Paper Shower product allows you to easily wipe down after using the moist towelette. It worked beautifully and didn't leave me with a sticky or dry feeling that basic wipes might leave.
I'd recommend opening the dry (paper) towelette before using the moist one. It can be tricky to do with slippery fingers.

This Geologist Rock Party from Kara's Party ideas is more than a little unusual. I don't know anyone who would love a party like this but I have no doubt some little boy or girl out there is fascinated with rocks. I love that this party has an original theme and being the current Lesson Plans editor I have to say I also love the Educational direction of it too.

Correction 8/22/13: A previous version of this story contained errors. It overstated the contributions received by the Yes on 522 campaign and the share of donations received from Washington state. The Yes campaign has amassed $3.5 (not 3.9) million, with 79 (not 71) percent of the funds coming from out of state. The nonprofit MapLight, based in Berkeley, Calif., informed us on Aug. 21 that it had double-counted some contributions, which led to the errors.

Blair up there
February 11, 2009 5:14 PM
Pretty slim pickings for CHL news out there, so we'll venture north to the IHL, where the Kalamazoo Gazette has a feature about old friend of the blog Blair Stayzer, aka Stayz Dog, which I once heard him refer to himself as.
Poor Stayz has had to make a tough transition, as he describes:
After spending the last four years in the Central Hockey League, three in Texas and one in New Mexico, Kalamazoo Wings veteran Blair Stayzer said this year feels much more like hockey season.
"You've got snow and it's freezing,'' said Stayzer, a native of Dunnville, Ontario. ``When I was in New Mexico and in Corpus, it's kinda different. You get to the rink and, like in Corpus, guys are talking about what they're gonna do in the afternoon, like golf, go to the beach, go surfing.
"Here, it's miserable outside, you want to hang out (at the rink), guys are laughing, having a good time. You don't want to leave. I get good workouts instead of worrying about going golfing.''
It's good to see ol' Stayz Dog chipping in with the K-Wings after the rough offseason he had. He's one of the better guys you'll meet at this level of hockey.
- You think folks in Rio are writing this about old Robin Bouchard:
Taking ownership of virtually every conceivable scoring record in the Muskegon franchise history, the colorful icon from Jonquiere, PQ has been utterly awesome and then-some in re-assuming his royal and regal reign as one of the most feared, revered, premiere cannoneers in the all-time history of minor professional hockey.
In his Lumberjacks team's recently completed 4-games in 5-nights work week the past week, Bouchard was never, ever better with his uncanny cannonading in terrorizing and vandalizing the adversary's goal.
- Someone asked me last week if I'd ever think about working for a minor-league team. I said no, and here's one reason why. I realize cases like this are isolated, but having covered one team that folded at mid-season and another that was dark for a couple weeks, you learn to embrace job security.
Greg, what odds do you give a Summer 09 I/UHL/CHL merger if for no reason than the money making I/UHL teams in business (assuming there are any that are profitable)? Or perhaps the I/UHL breaking up and the teams that are still viable joining the ECHL/AHL?
[I wouldn't call the odds good. The biggest obstacle is Fort Wayne. Supposedly the owners there want no part of the PHPA. Plus, they make enough money there that they can float a few weak sisters like Flint and Port Huron to sustain their own "league." -- GR]
Working for the freshly scaled down Caller-Times provides job security?
[I'm still blogging, aren't I? -- GR]A
apparently the ihl is one step away from working at mcdonalds. nice sweaters.
Ref: http://www.pointstreak.com/prostats/attendance.html?leagueid=257&seasonid=2983
Fort Wayne is averaging 7,850 and the other 5 IHL teams are averaging 2,323 if I did the math correctly. All but three CHL teams average over 2,400. Flint and Port Huron both are averaging fewer than the bottom CHL team.
How can that league stay afloat?
Jeez Greg, and you think the Rayz' bowling sweaters were bad. McD sweaters? At least Blair has the height of Ronnie McD and could pass as a double if things got rough in minor hockey. Would only need to color his hair red.
[I actually liked Corpus' bowling sweaters. And I don't mind the McDonald's duds as a one-time deal. They actually kind of grow on you after a bit. Folks, these are minor league hockey jerseys, not Supreme Court robes. It's OK to have a little fun with them. -- GR]

Comment: Re:Ted Postol very bias opinion. (Score 2) 229
Actually, the key thing for them is "cheap". They need to keep costing sub-$1k missiles in the ballpark of these Iron dome systems - the more, the better. They might as well just omit the warheads to save money and increase range. Every $50k shot Israel fires with those systems costs 25 Israelis' annual tax contribution to the IDF. Every $55m system they deploy costs 27.500 Israelis' IDF tax contributions.
Palestinians are poor, but they're not *that* poor that they can't leverage those kind of lopsided financial ratios.

She's Knows it's Hard0 Reviews
Still filled with doubt, Hotaru enlists Stella to help her uncover the truth about Saito.
Chapter Four: She Knows it's Hard:
Hotaru had a problem. Saito might be a murderer. But, she had no proof. Just a broken down confession. Sure, that was useful, but she still had doubts. Actually, the loli demon didn't know what to believe. Best to investigate. Thing was, Hotaru didn't know where to start.
The loli demon thought about her situation when she heard shouting down the street. Curious, she decided to take a look. Stella stood outside an ATM, screaming.
"How did I lose that much money?!?" she screamed. "That bastard!!!" She looked up and saw Hotaru.
"WHAT?!?" the wolf demon snapped. Hotaru shrugged.
"I'm looking for a friend," she said. Stella looked at her.
"Really now?" she asked.
"Yeah," the loli demon replied. "I might need some help."
"And you're asking me?"
Stella shrugged. "Alright. Does this friend have an address?"
"Here." Hotaru reached into her shorts pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper. Stella read it over.
"Happy Puppy Apartments, huh?" she asked.
"Yes, he told me on the third day we met," Hotaru said.
"Okay, let's go," Stella said. Both women headed off into the early morning darkness.
"I'm Hotaru, by the way," the loli demon said on the way. "What's your name?"
"Stella Craig, I'm a friend of Lucy's," the wolf demon replied.
"I see. Why were you shouting at the ATM earlier?"
"Oh, my ex ripped me off again. Don't want to talk about it."
"I don't want to talk about it, okay?"
"Fine, fine. We don't even have to talk until we get to the apartment."
"Thank you."
All conversations died from there.
Nothing. Broken down nothing. The apartment looked abandoned. The grass didn't really exist. The ground consisted of dried mud. The demolish sign in the sign had almost fallen off. Hotaru and Stella had flat looks on their faces.
"Wrong address?" Hotaru asked.
"Want to check?" Stella asked back. The loli demon shrugged. Like they had a choice…
The women knocked on the door. It nearly fell off the hinges. The loli demon leapt back.
"Hello?" Stella called inside. "Anyone here?" The ladies slowly took a few steps in.
"Hello? We're here for a couple of questions about one of your tenants," Hotaru said.
"Shhh!" Stella whispered as she paused. "I hear something." Hotaru looked at her.
"Where?" she whispered. Stella took little steps to her right. She reached outer her arm. Her hand touched glass.
"Here!" she said.
"Huh?" Hotaru asked. "How do you know?" Stella turned to her with a grin.
"I hear things others can't," she bragged.
"I'm a wolf demon."
Hotaru blinked. "You're joking, right?"
Stella said nothing. Hotaru looked at her with big eyes.
"Holy crap! You really are!" she said.
"Yeah, but that's not the point," Stella said. "Look." Hotaru glanced through the glass. An old man sat on the other side with a glazed face. Hotaru leapt backwards.
"Oh shit, he's dead!" she cried.
"No, no," Stella said. "He's just asleep. I heard him gurgling softly. See look. The wolf demon gave the thin plexiglass a hard tap. The old man inside leapt back awake. He saw the women and slide the glass open.
"Yes? How can I help you?" he asked. Hotaru stepped forward.
"Excuse me sir," she said. "I'm looking for my friend, Tajizawa Saito. He gave me the address to this place, but not the apartment number. Do you know where I can find him and his mother?" The old man gave her an odd look.
"I'm sorry, who did you say?" he asked.
'Tajizawa Saito," Hotaru repeated. "Do you know him?" The old man straightened up his glasses.
"Yeah, I did know someone by that name," he said. Stella gave him a puzzled look.
"Did?" she asked. "What do you mean /did/?"
"Tajizawa Saito did live here with his mother in apartment 103," the old owner said.
"What happened to them?" Hotaru asked. The owner's face became serious.
"Five years ago, Saito walked in on his mother and her lover in her bed," he explained. "That quiet young man snapped and stabbed them both to death. Three days later, he jumped to his death from the apartment roof."
By sunrise, the latest body count had risen to eight in the past two months.

Deeper Sleep state
Deeper Sleep state (mode) is a low-power state similar to Deep Sleep state. In this state the CPU core maintains its context, core's internal clock and the clock of L2 cache are stopped, and the core may not respond to interrupts and other signals. The core in this state has lower power consumption than in the Deep Sleep mode due to lower core voltage. This state is always entered from the Deep Sleep state.
Deeper Sleep mode was originally implemented in mobile microprocessors (mobile Pentium III-M, mobile Pentium 4-M), but it became a standard feature in the most recent desktop CPU families. In some modern families the CPU may transition from this state to Enhanced Deeper Sleep mode or to Deep Power Down mode.

Putti Prapancha submitted numerous kids craft tutorials this week, and I knew I had to post about all of them! I figured the best way to do this was to do a Blog Feature. Her daughter is almost 3 1/2, and the crafts are done with her in mind. She has many creative ideas that you could use for a classroom craft, or just having fun in your home with your children. Here are some examples of her crafts.
2) Her Spin Art Caterpillar is made using a baby food jar!
3) Building with Slotted Cards and Discs
4) Spin Art with a Paper Plate, CD and Lid
Enjoy exploring around her blog, and finding new and creative crafts to do with your children where they can learn and be artistic!
5) Fun with Craft Sticks (and Geometry!)

is a further exploration of a style I have been pursuing at Iowa, more formalized
than intuitive. It is constructed from small blocks of intuitively composed material,
treated themselves as individual 'notes' and arranged according to a predetermined
structure. The title is an anagram, a typo, or just plain nonsense.
birth pang
In 2006, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called the violent deaths of more
than 400 Lebanese civilians the "birth pangs of a new Middle East." Since that
statement, violence and upheaval in the region has escalated, with major events unfolding
faster than the western media can anticipate or metabolize. Shifting alliances, mass
killings, and ruthless dictators being toppled by bloodthirsty mobs all lead one to ask; if
these are the birth pangs of something new, what exactly is being brought into this world?
Do we even want to know? Conversely, at the moment of this writing, US Special
Operations forces are deployed in 75 different countries and the US is actively waging
war on multiple fronts while our leaders pretend we aren't completely out of money.
With all of this going on in the world it makes one wonder what use there is in being a
musician, practicing an instrument, or even eating breakfast. How can we go on with our
lives as if we are sure the sky will not fall tomorrow, shortly after noon? Why should we
get out of bed? Why should we do our homework? Why bring even more children into
this mess? Does this not make us fools, fiddling while Rome burns? But then one might
see the problem the other way around. Having a baby, writing a symphony, laughing
over a pint of beer with a few friends, are these not the reasons we suffer governments,
armies and laws to exist? Are these things not birth pangs of the good things in life? If
not, would we not rather be fools?
Wildwood Dancing
is the title of a book by Juliet Marillier portraying a Transylvanian
folk-tale about a group of sisters who discover that on every full moon, they can open a
portal into the faerie world where the faerie queen holds a grand ball. The sisters dance
with all kinds of faerie creatures, but must be back before dawn or they will be trapped in
the faerie world forever. I chose to create the excited atmosphere that the full moon
brings, the revelry of the dance, and the approach of dawn that ends the festivities.
A Modal Thing
In my piece, I explore back-to-basics operations as applied to diatonic
sets. Each movement makes explicit the operation I am exploring: the first movement
modulates from one set to another, the second movement layers a transposition of one
mode on top of itself, the third movement uses sets related by inversion, and the last
movement is semi-canonic. These pieces were something akin to self-assigned
homework, laying the groundwork for future development in modal writing.
Walls of Justice, Painted Green
is a piece that is heavily influenced by the music from
…And Justice For All, an album released by Metallica in 1988. The title comes from the
first lyrics heard in the title track of the album. The piece is a response to the wasteful
spending by the United States government, in particular the General Service
Administration's 2010 conference in Las Vegas where over $800,000 was spent on items
such as mind readers, clowns, and scouts sent to pick the event venue. Part of GSA's
mission is to save taxpayers money, which makes it even more outrageous that our
government is losing money on events such as these. This sort of abuse is epitomized in
the title tracks first two lines of the chorus, "the ultimate in vanity, exploiting their

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — What's in a name?
Apparently, some Gloucester city councilors and perhaps school officials alike think a name means quite a bit. In fact, during an embarrassing debate over whether to include a school use as a choice for voters on November's Fuller School nonbinding referendum question, they actually agreed to start calling the longtime school facility the "Fuller Building Site" — obviously hoping that we will all follow those semantics as well.
Baloney. And to make matters worse, Councilor Joe Ciolino had the audacity to suggest that, with the building itself, and whatever future form it may take, "we're honoring the man, Milton L. Fuller, and it serves no purpose to put the word 'school' to it."
Really? We suspect Mr. Fuller is rolling over in his grave at the way school and city officials have — through not-so-benign neglect — let this school building rot in their push to build a new West Parish school and avoid using "the Fuller site" as the consolidated school it could still be.
Ciolino and other officials seem to think that dropping the term "Fuller School" will somehow make voters forget that their councilors and school officials are so fearful of hearing the public's input, even on a non-binding referendum, that they refuse to even give voters the school option as a choice.
In fact, Ciolino suggested that everyone who counts agrees that Fuller can no longer be a school — "the experts have said no, the parents have said no, and the School Committee has said no," he said.
But we will not forget that no one has even asked a cross-section of the city taxpayers who have to pay the bills. And thanks to this gutless decision — opposed only by Bruce Tobey, Jackie Hardy and, to an extent Greg Verga — no one ever will.
That's a shame — by any name.

The price earnings ratio is one of the market value ratios used in financial ratio analysis. It is a very important ratio for publicly traded businesses because it tells investors how much they are paying per share (price) for each dollar of earnings (net income) by the company. In other words, the price to earnings ratio shows how much investors are willing to pay for shares of stock of the company per dollar of reported profit.
If a company is in the growth phase of their business cycle, the price earnings ratio is probably high. This means that their earnings are still relatively low or even negative since they are new in the marketplace and just getting started. Their stock price may be high since investors are trading on the potential of the firm. A price earnings ratio that is too high, however, often means the company carriers a lot of risk.
The average price to earnings ratio for the firms listed on the Standard and Poor's 500 is around 19, as a comparative number.
Mature businesses often have lower price earnings ratios than newer, high growth firms. Sometimes, firms with lower price earnings ratios are seen as safer investments than those with higher price earnings ratios.
Here is the calculation for the price earnings ratio:
Current Market Price of Company Stock/Earnings Per Share of Stock = Price Earnings Ratio
A company's price earnings ratio can change often, even on a daily basis, because the market price of the stock can change. Investors use the price earnings ratio extensively in investment analysis. Different industries, different businesses, and different economic time periods often mean different and varying price to earnings ratios for companies.

Creating Your Family Legacy With Blank Recipe Books
by clouda9
Starting off with a blank recipe book is your canvas to creating something truly unique and special for generations to come.
Certain dishes, specialties, and meals say family more than almost anything else
|The Family Table: A Journal for Recipes and Memories
Write Down Your New and Old Ideas in a Blank Recipe Book
It's important to carry on the legacy
Most of us have personal, as well as family recipes that we love to make. In fact, each day, normal, everyday cooks create fantastic new recipes which should be written down, along with those old family favorites.
Realizing I am one of the fortunate few to have my grandma's handwritten cooking and recipe books, it's become more important for me to spread the word to others. Think of starting off with a blank recipe book as your canvas to creating something truly unique and special for generations to come.
It's never to late, you can create recipe journals today that your children and grandchildren can enjoy well into the future. All of the recipes can be neatly organized, making it easy for future generations to locate treasured recipes, as well as the memories of good food and family gatherings.
At the table with good friends and family you do not become old. ~Italian Proverb
Food, Cooking, and Memories
Remembering is the best part
The aromas that waft in from the kitchen quite often bring back childhood memories. My grandma's cardamom bread or Aunt Jean's molasses cake bring my folk rushing into the kitchen for a nibble every single time. By sharing recipes in a journal or notebook these same familiar aromas will continue to delight family members and friends for many years to come.
Years ago, cooking, and therefore recipes were taught from mother to child. That tradition has been lost in many families, but it is possible to provide our loved ones with recipes that we have come to love. As we have adapted our own touches to an old recipe, our own children may discover new culinary delights by using one of our shared recipes.
Blank recipe books can help that happen by offering a convenient place to jot down not only recipes, but perhaps memories that go along with it.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bone. ~Moroccan Proverb
Sizing Up the Recipe Book You Need
Making the decision
If you have tons of personally created and/or family recipes you might like...
- A large, expandable binder
- Smaller recipe books or binders for each cooking category
If you have an assortment of recipes you might like...
- A large binder with the opportunity to expand as you grow your recipes
- Journals with pockets to tuck away your favorites
If you are giving a blank recipe book as a gift...
- Consider the person and how much they like or dislike cooking; ease in the nay sayers by providing lots of tried and true easy recipes
- Don't forget to include 'you' in the gift...add a handwritten family fave recipe or two to give the otherwise blank recipe book some personality!
A Favorite Blank Recipe Book
A Quick Snippet
Write it down, it's your special recipe book
Why a Moleskine Passions Recipe Journal?
My thoughts
I love the idea of this smaller sized blank recipe book to use for the many ideas that swirl around in my foodie head. After reading customer comments on Amazon, as well as out and about on the Internet it's wise to assume this Moleskine journal is best suited for jotting personal notes about recipes and cooking versus a full on recipe with a list of ingredients and instructions. With intention, it's a diary of your food-related thoughts written down to inspire the next generation!
Journal About Your Cooking Adventures
Passing on good food and memories
Even though not all of us are culinary geniuses, we often have specialties that we have created which our families and friends love and continue to enjoy...bite by bite. Passing these specialties on can create new, special memories as well as refresh the old.
For those of us that love to be in the kitchen creating, not only is it awesome to journal about our cooking adventures, including the successes AND the failures, it is the imaging of passing on the legacy of our cooking adventures with blank recipe books that should fuel us. We can pass down our thoughts, memories, and recipes to those we love.
A stunning journal to jot down your fondest food moments...sure to be a hand-me-down that your family will treasure forever and ever
|Small Chestnut Pocket Journal with Handmade Paper
Only $25.00

Which type of blank recipe book do you prefer?
Have your say
Thanks for stopping in today :)
I absolutely love this idea. Very creative and a great way to add or pass along tradition to our children. Thank you!
What a nice idea, this reminded me of my three brothers and I who often fight over who's getting Mom and Grandma's hand written recipe books. I'm going to start my own, maybe even copy them... Thanks for the inspiration
I really should make a family recipe album for my daughters. Thanks for the ideas.
What a great idea. writing about your kitchen, cooking and recipes. I love it. and what a gorgeous page you've done here. Wonderful job.
What a terrific idea to have a recipe book as a way to create memories for the future generations. One of the things that families do together, after all, is eat!

The ACLU told the town of Cary on Tuesday that David Bowden's right to free speech would be violated if the town used a sign ordinance to get him to remove a spray-painted complaint from the siding on his home.
Bowden, frustrated over a water-drainage problem he blames on a city road-widening project, hired a painter to write in florescent orange on his home's exterior, "Screwed by the Town of Cary."
In response, a town official told him Monday that he could be fined up to $500 a day for violating the sign ordinance.
Katherine Lewis Parker, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina, sent a letter Tuesday afternoon to Cary Town Attorney Christine B. Simpson outlining the ACLU's position on the ordinance. In the letter, Parker says several provisions of the ordinance violate the First Amendment of the Constitution.
For example, the letter says, the ordinance discriminates on the basis of a sign's message by making exceptions for such things as noncommercial holiday decorations displayed between Nov. 15 and Jan. 15. It also regulates by size and shape, which is only allowed, the letter says, if the rules are tailored so they don't infringe on the exercise of free speech.
Susan Moran, Cary's public information officer, said the legal department could not immediately comment on the letter but said she looked forward to reviewing it.
Bowden was aware the ACLU planned to write the letter, and he said he appreciated the support.
When Bowden bought his house on Southwest Maynard Road in 1992, it had problems with runoff water. He had the foundation waterproofed. Later, he said, the problems returned after a road resurfacing channeled water onto his property.
Then last year, the town finished a project adding two lanes to Southwest Maynard that took several feet of Bowden's front yard and a number of trees. The new road is several feet above the old one, leaving Bowden's house below grade. Water now stands in his home's crawlspace after a rain, he said.
The town paid Bowden for the construction easement across his front yard and built a retaining wall and a new driveway for him. Town officials have offered to install a drain across the driveway and channel water away from the house, but Bowden has said no.
Bowden said he wants the town to buy the house at its tax value plus $80,000.
If it doesn't, he said Tuesday, "I guess I'll have to sue them."

Smith a Shot Back Heading Into Final Round of Golfweek Conference Challenge
BURLINGTON, Iowa – Nevada senior Scott Smith fired a second-round 69 and moved into a tie for second, on shot off the lead at the Golfweek Conference Challenge on Monday.
Smith is one shot back of Vince India of the host school Iowa heading into Tuesday's final round and Smith is tied with another Hawkeye, Brad Hopfinger, in the medalist race.
"He's playing some good golf right now and, quite honestly, I feel that he is capable of winning several tournaments this year," coach Jacob Wilner said of Smith. "He only has one bogey in 36 holes this year and he's got a good chance to go out tomorrow and take charge."
As a team, Nevada was nine shots better in round two and moved up two spots to 11th place. Nevada was just +2 on the day as a team at 290. The Wolf Pack is clustered within a bunch of teams and is just seven shots back of sixth position. The host Hawkeyes hold a 19-shot lead going into the final round.
Kevin Lucas was one of three Pack players who improved on Tuesday and shot under par. Lucas carded a 2-under 70 after a 2-over 74 on Sunday. He is tied for 19th. Brian Knoll was eight shots better on Monday, following up a first-round 79 with a 1-under 71 at Spirit Hollow Golf Course.
"Brian Knoll was very impressive today, going under par in his second round of collegiate golf," Wilner said. "Kevin Lucas had a stretch of five birdies in a row at one point. So that was good to see. We just need to get some production out of the rest of our guys and finish this thing strong."
Nevada Results
T2 Scott Smith 68-69 -- 137
T19 Kevin Lucas 74-70 -- 144
T45 Brian Knoll 79-71 -- 150
T68 Chris Cho 78-80 -- 158
73 Chris Plappert 79-87 -- 166

O Tacoma! The City of Destiny at the head of Commencement Bay, where on a clear day you can see the majestic, glacier-flanked peak of … Mount Seattle Seahawks?
The state Senate passed a resolution by voice vote Friday afternoon authorizing the temporary name change for Mount Rainier.
The resolution mimics a proclamation by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who on Wednesday temporarily renamed 53 of the state's highest peaks after the 53 members of the Broncos squad who will face the Seahawks in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Sen. Jim Hargrove's resolution claims the Washington state Senate is "VERY confident the Seattle Seahawks will defeat the Denver Broncos on Sunday."
Did the Hoquiam Democrat just jinx the Hawks? Nah. Colorado's "Hick" did it first by proclaiming his state "confident" of a victory.
Hargrove goes on to laud the Hawks' prowess, the fans' seismic celebration and the crowd's sonic roar. The resolution's bravado lightly mocks the Colorado governor's choices, for while Hickenlooper chose a peak for each player "because the Broncos are a team of individuals," the Seattle Seahawks need but "one magnificent mountain" to represent its team.
In seeking to celebrate the Seahawks' success, Hargrove risks reopening old wounds. Tacomans historically have not taken kindly to efforts to appropriate their mountain.
Seattle and Tacoma long fought over the name of "The Mountain," with Tacomans launching several campaigns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to reclaim the peak. Tacoma interests got so far as winning U.S. Senate approval of a name change to Mount Tacoma in 1924 but were eventually defeated by Seattle opponents.
