Wyden to Face Law Professor in Oregon Senate Race
PORTLAND, Ore. — The political tumult that's seen senators run out of office and tea party candidates swept in steered clear of Oregon Tuesday, with incumbents and mainstream Republicans winning their party's nominations in the state's primaries.
Three Republican candidates affiliated with the tea party, a collection of groups without a central political structure, lost their U.S. House bids in Oregon, the most successful garnering 29 percent of the vote in a three-way race.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden also won his contest easily and has a huge jump on his Republican opponent, Jim Huffman, a Lewis & Clark College law professor making his first run for office.
Wyden has raised $3.8 million in his bid for a third full term, compared with Huffman's $344,000, which includes a $250,000 loan to his own campaign.
Wyden had 90 percent of the vote with 81 percent of the expected vote reported. Two lesser-known candidates split the other 10 percent.
Huffman won with 42 percent, and six other candidates split the remainder
Republican businessman Rob Cornilles — who had backing from national Republican organizers — will face Democratic incumbent David Wu in northwest Oregon's 1st Congressional District.
Wu handily won his primary race with 81 percent of the vote after 80 of the expected vote was tallied. David Robinson of Beaverton had 19 percent.
With 74 percent of the expected vote counted, Cornilles had 41 percent, Doug Keller 29 percent, John Kuzmanich 28 percent and Stephan Brodhead 2 percent.
Keller and Kuzmanich both had affiliated their campaigns with the tea party movement.
In the 2nd District, Republican Rep. Greg Walden will face Democrat Joyce Segers of Ashland. Both were unopposed.
In the 3rd District, Democratic Rep. Earl Blumenauer faces Republican Delia Lopez of Oakland in the fall election. Blumenauer easily won his primary. Lopez, who was unopposed, can run from the southern Willamette Valley because Oregon doesn't require congressional candidates to live in their districts.
With 81 percent of the expected vote counted, Blumenauer had 91 percent to John Sweeney's 9 percent
In the 4th District in southeast Oregon, Art Robinson of Cave Junction won the nomination to run against Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio, who like Walden has won multiple terms.
With 80 percent of the expected vote reported, Robinson had 80 percent. His opponent, Jaynee Germond of Dillard, who ran as a tea party candidate, had 20 percent.
Robinson once was an associate of Linus Pauling and now runs an institute that develops home-schooling materials.
In the 5th Congressional District, Republican state Rep. Scott Bruun won the nomination to run against Kurt Schrader, a first-termer who was unopposed in the primary.
With 66 percent of the expected vote counted, Bruun had 63 percent. Retired timber company executive Fred Thompson of Salem had 37 percent.
The district stretches from the Cascade Range through the central Willamette Valley to the coast. It is considered the closest thing Oregon has to a swing district, and may be the most competitive congressional race in Oregon.

Although Jennifer Aniston is fabulous in her forties, it is true that it is getting late for starting a new family, a desire she has expressed on more than one occasion. Now, a source reveals she feels "insecure" in her relationship to Justin Theroux because she feels time is running out.
According to The Belfast Telegraph, Jennifer is chomping at the bit to tie the knot. Also, her recent trip to Paris with Justin Theroux exhibited an attempt to become more intimate and perhaps vault closer to marriage and children. An insider described it as a "make-or-break holiday."
This same insider seems to know a lot about Jennifer Aniston's inner feelings. "Jen is, unfortunately, feeling quite insecure in the relationship at the moment, so the next few weeks are crucial. She seems so nervous she can hardly breathe." Does this mean that, if Justin Theroux doesn't pop the question soon, Jennifer will break things off?
Jen and Justin don't give a lot of interviews or speak about their relationship to the press, so it's merely speculation as to how they feel. Mysterious insiders can't necessarily be trusted. In the photos of their recent European trip, they seemed quite cozy, and Jennifer looked cool as a cucumber, not "nervous."
Although fans may love to see a wedding for the pair soon, it's Jennifer and Justin's decision. If they're happy with dating and living together, it's frankly nobody else's business whether they also sport wedding bands on their fingers.

It was deep. I had never been put in such a precarious position before.
I've been with men.
I've been with Brian. I loved him so much. It was weird. He had the body of an in shape, 17 year old, still going through puberty. He wasn't having any luck with the high school sluts and whores. He told me, "Honestly, Miesha, muffin-poo, I was confused. I knew that I was still growing, so my "package", you know. But still..." God, I hated that whenever it felt like my baby B-Car would open up to me, he shuts down. Incomprehensible, like a Diaz brother. "But still, but still." Good Lord, shut up sometimes.
However, I love that he's like a woman sometimes with all these roller coaster of emotions. It really makes me comfortable in my own skin. Throughout high school I was pretty developed (I think it was the summer after 6th grade when it began, so I was about 11-12). I think what made me so self conscious was that the other dumb girls made fun of me. I was butt-girl for the next 2 years. The worst two years of my life. Later on, I realized they were just jealous and insecure like I was.
I was afraid of women. Girls that looked my age t e r r i f i e d me. That's why I ended up joining the boys wrestling team. I wasn't entirely comfortable here either, but it beat mean girls. (Hated that movie, Eff Why Eye. Brought up a shitstorm of unpleasant memories.) I'm sure I got a lot of "Miesha's a lesbian, she likes wrasslimg. har fucking har." Look at me now, bitch! Where you skanks at? Stripping for "college"? Knocked up, finding out ya man cheated on you from Jerry Springer.
*side note - does the question mark go in the quotations or do I have it right!? Ugh, I'm so stressed. Brian, I need to talk to you tonight, if you're reading this!
Anyways, back to the point. Brian has the body of the boys on my team, and the mind of a 15 year old girl too. I think, he's my fill in of a troubled upbringing. I never experienced the girlfriends, and was to unconfident to be with a boy, yet. He gives me both.
Miesha moment : Girl, what's up with Fallon Fox? Why everybody be giving they damn opinion on her, so disrespectfully, shit! Imagine an entire Ultimate Fighter with Fallon Foxes. Not a typo, purposely spelling it Foxes.
You might be wondering, "what the shiz? Miesha, the hell u talkin bout homegurl? Why u bringin this old bullshit up?" Well, I'ma explain, friends. I felt I was misunderstood during the build up to the fight with Ronda. I hope this backstory explains my awkwardness, and self-awareness. Like, damn dog, I couldn't just "take it easy", Ronda reminded me of my past. Counter-transference, bitch. So...
Yeap, I fought admirably, as they've said, but so incredibly foolishly. It was indeed deep. Ronda had me deep. I was trapped between her legs, there was no escape. I was all hers. I had her back too, then I was forcefully put on my back. Never again. Never again. I unloaded a few shots on her face, though! That's some consolation. I feel it Ronda's going to have to not JUST armbar fools.
Snap. Crack. Whatever. Onomatopoeia. Then it happened. I didn't know it at the time, but my hidden power was unlocked. Yes, I tapped in the end, but it showed in my next fight, against JK. She was having her way with me. My chest was throbbing from all the push and side kicks. She gave my head quite the shellacking. But my power to o v e r c o m e, was prevalent. I overcome. Always. I might be down, but I will overcome, I promise you.
And who do I have to thank? My dedicated boyfriend Brian? No. He "knows" who he is. My Canadian Champ. My Middle Eastern Merman.
Thank you, Ariel, for everything. Mazel tov :) !!
As for Ronda, I will see you next time on... The Ultimate Fighter.
*** message for Cat Zingano ***

( I do not claim any of this to be true, there is no evidence any of this are the thoughts and feelings of Miesha Tate or Brian Caraway. This is satirical in nature. I have no personal connection to either. I know nothing. All this is made up. Just throw the South Park disclaimer here)

Paranoid Penguin - Linux Firewalls for Everyone
All Linux firewalls work the same way. A series of iptables commands are executed in sequence to load firewall rules into kernel memory space. All packets entering all network interfaces are then evaluated by the kernel based on these rules and handled accordingly. These rules are organized in tables (formerly, and still occasionally, called chains). Rules can be inserted, appended, changed and deleted from any table at any time via the iptables command and take effect immediately.
The most direct way to create a Linux firewall policy is to write an iptables startup script from scratch and then manage it like any other startup script in init.d. This is how I manage my own Linux firewalls, and it works fine if you understand networking, you're comfortable with the iptables command, and you don't have many different firewalls to manage or more than a couple of different policies on any given firewall.
To learn how to roll your own iptables scripts, refer to the Resources for this article. As I said previously, I simply can't do that topic justice here. (Note that different Linux distributions handle startup scripts differently.) If you want to harness the full power of iptables, including NAT, custom chains and packet-mangling, this really is the best way to go.
Assuming you can't, or don't, want to write iptables scripts directly, here are some pointers to tools that can help.
The first category of iptables tools I dicuss here probably already exists on your system. Nowadays, nearly all Linux distributions include a firewall wizard in their installation utilities. Nearly always, this wizard is intended for creating a local firewall policy—that is, a personal firewall script, which protects only the local host.
These wizards all work the same way. They ask you which local services you want to allow external hosts to reach, if any. For example, if I'm installing Linux on an SMTP e-mail server, I would allow inbound connections only to TCP port 25 (SMTP), though possibly also to TCP port 22 (Secure Shell, which I may need for remote administration).
Based on your response, the wizard then creates a startup script containing iptables commands that allow incoming requests to the services/ports you specified, block all other inbound (externally originating) transactions and allow all outbound (locally originating) network transactions.
But wait! That third command violates Ranum's principle (deny all that is not explicitly permitted), doesn't it? Yes, it does. That's why I write my own iptables scripts even for local firewall policies. You need to decide for yourself in any given situation whether you can live with the "allow some inbound, allow all outbound" compromise, which is undeniably the simplest approach to local firewalls, or whether you're worried enough about the threat of malware mischief to write a more restrictive script, either manually or using a more sophisticated firewall tool than your Linux distribution's installer.
Note that as with other functions of Linux installers, these firewall wizards usually can be run again later, for example, in SUSE via YaST's Security and Users→Firewall module.
We've discussed the hard way (writing your own iptables startup script) and the easy way (letting your Linux installer generate a local firewall script). There are, however, many other tools for generating and managing sophisticated firewall scripts. Two of the most popular are Shorewall and Firewall Builder (see Resources).
Shorewall is, essentially, a script/macro environment that lets you create firewall policies in the form of text files, which are then "compiled" into iptables scripts. Shorewall's strengths are its flexibility, its ability to insulate users from needing to learn iptables syntax and its convenience in automatically generating startup scripts. If you understand networking, however, learning to use Shorewall isn't necessarily that much less time consuming than learning iptables.
For this reason, I've personally not used Shorewall very much. Friends of mine, however, who know less than me about networking but more about system administration, swear by it.
Firewall Builder, which I covered several years ago in the May and June 2003 issues of Linux Journal, is something else altogether. It's the firewall equivalent of an Integrated Development Environment—that is, a graphical, object-oriented interface for generating iptables scripts (among other firewall types).
Conceptually, Firewall Builder is very similar to the policy editor in Check Point firewalls. You create "objects" for the networks and hosts you want to use in rules, and then you arrange those objects and predefined "service" objects (HTTP, IMAP, FTP and so forth) into graphical rules statements. Firewall Builder not only generates these into iptables scripts, but it also can install them on other systems via SSH.
In my experience, the main strike against Firewall Builder is its somewhat lengthy list of dependencies, chief among them the Qt libraries for GUI development. However, many of the things Firewall Builder needs are now standard Linux packages included on typical distributions, so this is less of a problem than it used to be. See the Firewall Builder home page for detailed installation instructions.
Other graphical iptables utilities include Firestarter and Guarddog (see Resources).
hmm that is interesting
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you quit watching the show after the first two episodes, then you should tune back in. It is turning out to be a great show. By the way, you missed the chance to see Adrian Paul strip in episode four.
Please tune back in and give it a chance. You will be glad you did.:rolly2:

Hi Melle!
I am still trying to get into Tracker. I keep seeing to many related things from Highlander.
What do you think of Adrian's movies since Highlander (Not End Game, the other ones he's made).

I really like the new series, Tracker. I was an avid fan of HL and am an avid fan of Adrian Paul. I don't see many comparisons to HL at all. IMO, Tracker is totally different. I think it is getting better with each episode. The chemistry between the two main characters is great. I also like the addition of Richard Yearwood to the cast. IMO, it took HL almost two years to hit its stride. Give Tracker a chance.

Hey guys,
I agree - Tracker has definately improved as the weeks go by. Give it another shot if you bailed after 1 or 2 episodes. If you want to find out when it's showing in your area check out the offical site at www.trackertv.com and while you're there have a look around - it's a really cool site.

I love Highlander and consider myself lucky to have it on TV 3 times per day on the SPACE station. I was a little hesitant to watch Tracker, in case it wasn't as good as Highlander.
But, I am finding that I love Tracker, just in a different way than I love Highlander. They are very different. The tone is much lighter, and there is far more humor in Tracker. The only similarity, I think, is the attempt to develop strong characters and the development of the overall story, which links the episodes together. It keeps you guessing and wanting to tune in each week to see what they are going to come up with next.
The look of the show is very different. The action is also "alien" and not so tough and aggressive as Highlander. I do miss Duncan's sword work and graceful fighting style. However, the martial arts are quite good in Tracker, with more wire work. After all, these guys are aliens. I hear that Adrian's martial arts teacher (Vernon) has been in Toronto and they have developed a unique "alien" martial arts style for Tracker. Apparently we are supposed to see this new style show up in the up coming episodes.

Adelgunde Frieda Schaller (nee Pieper), age 101, was called to her eternal home on November 16, 2012. "Gunde" was born on July 23, 1911, in Yellow Medicine County, Echo,
Minnesota, the second of six children of Rev. John and Lydia (nee Hoenecke) Pieper. Gunde was baptized by her father at Friedenskirche on August 13, 1911, and confirmed at Salem Lutheran Church in Stillwater, Minnesota, on April 13, 1924, also by her father. She graduated from Bethany Lutheran High School in Mankato, Minnesota in 1929, and from the University of Minnesota in 1936, with a degree in Chemistry. Later in 1936 she began teaching Chemistry and Girls' Physical Education at Bethany Lutheran High School and College, and also taught swimming for young business girls in the Mankato area. In 1941 Gunde met her future husband, Hilbert Schaller, who was hired at Bethany as Dean of Men while she was Dean of Women. They were married in Stillwater, Minnesota, on June 17, 1942, at Salem Lutheran Church, her father again officiating. Shortly after this Hilbert was ordained into the ministry and they moved to Glencoe (Town Helen), Minnesota, where their first four children were born. Hilbert's ministry took them to Loveland, Colorado; Plymouth, Nebraska; and finally back to Mankato. Hilbert died in Rochester, Minnesota, on May 28, 1957. By this time there were six children and Gunde returned to teaching. She taught high school at Nicollet, Minnesota, and Kindergarten at Immanuel Lutheran Grade School in Mankato before receiving the call to teach at Immanuel Lutheran High School (then in Mankato, Minnesota) beginning in 1959 and continuing until her retirement from Immanuel Lutheran College (then in Eau Claire, Wisconsin) in May, 2000, at the age of 89. At retirement she was head librarian.
Besides her husband, Gunde is preceded in death by her daughter, Judith (Robert) Voss, her parents, and her sisters Caecilie Pieper, Ingeborg Pieper (twin), and Lydia Janzow. She is survived by five children: Miriam (Robert) Nestler of Topeka, Kansas; Althea (William) Sell of St. Paul, Minnesota; Deborah (William) Perry of Houston, Texas; Peter (Melanie) Schaller of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin; Andrea (Matthias) Borck of Houston, Texas; one sister: Zita Broetzmann of Menomonie, Wisconsin; one brother: John (Julie) Pieper of Crosslake, Minnesota; fifteen grandchildren and twenty four great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews.
A victory service will be held at Messiah Lutheran Church, 2015 N. Hastings Way, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, at 1:00PM on Saturday, December 1, 2012, with 1 hour to visit prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred for Messiah Lutheran Church or Immanuel Lutheran College, both of Eau Claire, WI.

Covering the worlds of data security, privacy and hacker culture.
With an update from the National Business Aviation Association below.
Good news for paparazzi, stalkers, and corporate spies: 'Private' jets are about to become significantly less private.
At the Defcon security conference later this week, two security researchers plan to release a tool that aims to expose a little-seen list of hidden private aircraft flight plans–the so-called Block Aircraft Registration Request or BARR list, a collection of aircraft whose owners have worked to keep their whereabouts out of the Federal Aviation Administration's public database of flights.
Dustin Hoffman and Semon Rezchikov have built OpenBarr.net, a website that will make public the tail numbers and locations of planes whose owners have explicitly tried to make them untrackable. In some cases, the planes' destinations will even be posted prior to their arrival, such that a resourceful paparazzi could arrive at the airport ready to catch his or her target stepping out the door.
"TMZ would probably love to know where Jay Z's plane is going to land and when," says Hoffman, who runs the IT consultancy Exigent Systems and frequently pilots his own plane. "Or if you want your product on the shelves at Walmart and a competitor's executives are flying their corporate jet into Bentonville, Arkansas, knowing that could be very advantageous."
Since the year 2000, private aircraft have been able to file a request with the FAA and have their flight plans excluded from the public database accessible to sites like FlightAware.com, which allows anyone to look up a plane's location and upcoming destinations based on its tail number. "Anyone who's interesting who you might want to track is already on the BARR list," says Hoffman. "If someone wants to travel discreetly, why not?"
But Hoffman and Rezchikov found a clever way to maneuver around the list's privacy protections. Even private planes signal their arrival to air traffic control towers over public frequencies that anyone can access with a bit of radio savvy. Air traffic control enthusiasts eavesdrop on those communications and collect them at sites like LiveATC.net, where they can be streamed or downloaded in archives.
So the two researchers developed speech-to-text software that allows them to download the audio files and convert them to publicly-accessible alerts about which planes are arriving where in as little as five minutes. "They simply can't get in without talking on the radio," says Hoffman. "We suck up the mp3s and scrape them. There's no way around it."
For now, OpenBarr only tracks flights going into or coming out of the three Las Vegas airports: McCarren International, Henderson, and North Las Vegas. But Hoffman and Rezchikov have plans to expand it soon–possibly with volunteer help from the site's users–to other cities including Miami and Los Angeles.
Parsing a noisy feed of jargon-filled air-traffic-control communications isn't easy. (The recordings sound like this.) But Rezchikov, a freshman at MIT and a Thiel Fellow, used an open source system called Sphinx developed at Carnegie Mellon, and honed the program's understanding of air traffic vocabulary with 70 hours of air traffic control transcripts provided by the Linguistic Data Consortium along with hours more of transcripts he and Hoffman produced themselves. With significant tweaking, the program can now recognize 80% of words in the recordings, Rezchikov says, though its accuracy for recognizing digits such as plane tail numbers is much higher.
Adding more cities to OpenBarr.net will require more transcribing of feeds from other airports, to "teach the thing to understand every acoustic environment," says Rezchikov. But he and Hoffman may request that OpenBarr users who want a new airport added spend a few minutes transcribing recordings from its control tower and submitting them to the site.
You mean "Tootsie / Rain Man" Dustin Hoffman is behind this Invasion of Privacy!??? Damn Hollyweird LiberalTards!!
We could assign an anonymous identifier, yes?
Most private pilots use corporations to hold their airplanes as an asset in states that allow shareholder anonymity. That way thieves can't target plane owners easily via tail numbers.
Rich and famous aircraft owners will just do the same.
Very interesting that the FAA does not push Congress to implement tighter security post 9/11 we shall she what HuEtta does with his policy initiatives.
Great Article: Terrific-
This would make our job sooo much easier, because sometimes we really would like t track tails in order to ensure that we can best manage our fleet to accomodate charter clients at TEB, HPN, Van Nuys and other places.
International Tails cant be traced, I hope this allows us to track them as well.

Mr GreenBerg, thank you for a fantastic industry update.
You dont know what it means to us to be able to track every flight.
It means Effective fleet management for us.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - The Washington Capitals have acquired right wing Martin Erat and minor leaguer Michael Latta from the Nashville Predators for 2012 first-round draft pick Filip Forsberg.
Erat leads the Predators with 17 assists and is tied for the first on the club with 21 points this season. He's played all 723 of his NHL games with Nashville, and ranks second in team history with 163 goals and 318 assists.
The Capitals are hoping for a boost to their playoff hopes; they stand in 10th in the Eastern Conference, two points away from eighth.
The Predators, who have made the playoffs 7 of the last eight seasons, are on the edge of the Western Conference playoff picture. In Forsberg, they get an 18-year-old forward considered a possible star-in-waiting.

Have The Netroots Gone Insane???
by John Mills, Wed Feb 15, 2006 at 07:21:51 AM EST
I remain so agitated about yesterday's post on re-electing Rick Santorum to send a message that I feel the need to post a diary. I feel that something has gone horribly awry here in the past few weeks. I am not sure if it is anger on the Alito confirmation, an early 2006 campaign lull or a full moon but we have gone from really good posts on strategy and politics to intraparty war.
This intraparty fighting reminds me of the scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian where Brian must remind the disparate anti-Roman groups their common enemy is the Romans, not each other.
Rick Santorum - The idea that we would allow Rick Santorum to be re-elected to screw Chuck Schumer is absolutely insane. You don't like Bob Casey, fine raise money for and support his primary opponent. However, once the primary is over defeating Rick Santorum should be one of our top priorities!! He is a Senator with 12th century ideas who is the Senate head of the K Street project, is No. 3 in the Senate Leadership and wants to be PRESIDENT. This man must be stopped at all costs.
50 State Party - For months, Chris has posted that we should be a 50 state party and run candidates in every Congressional district. I am all for this but that means we must be tolerant of Dems who will not meet every liberal litmus test. Should we oppose Brian Schweitzer because of his pro-guns views, Dick Durbin because of pro-life views or Ted Strickland because of his mixed record on the environment? Of course not, but if we want to be a true 50 state majority party, we must tolerate Dems who are with us on many issues but will diverge on some.
Do you think a NYC liberal like Jerry Nadler can win in Charlie Melancon's seat? Of course not, but isn't it better to have Melancon than Billy Tauzin III? I sure think so.
Look at the Repubs. They tolerate moderates like Lincoln Chafee, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe because it allows them to be in the majority. Hell, Jim Jeffords was a committee chair when he was in the Repub party!!!
The major litmus test for this party should be to not criticize fellow Dems in public and there is only one major Dem I can think of who violates this rule.
Movements Take Time - We have been fighting the Conservative movement for almost 40 years and it has taken a long time for them to get this far on political spectrum. We cannot expect this to change overnight and we will probably need to make some compromises while pushing the agenda back our way. Think about the timeline of the conservative ascendancy.
Richard Nixon (1968) - After the Goldwater debacle, the Repubs went more centrist with Nixon. He was a foreign policy hawk but on the domestic front he supported universal healthcare through an employer mandate and created both the EPA and OHSA. He looks downright liberal today which is a little scary.
Ronald Reagan (1980) - Conservative through and through but definitely to the left of today's crowd.
Gingrich to Bush - The real right wing ascends pushing an extreme agenda which is starting to run out of steam.
If we want to change things, we need to gain power. Look at how the conservatives did it starting with Nixon through Bush. If you don't control things, all you can do is sit on the sidelines and throw bombs and shout.
Matt said yesterday that politics is about choices. It is also the art of the possible. This year, if we work hard and together, we could take one or both Houses of Congress in addition to winning on the state level.
I have one goal this year and it is to elect as many Democrats as possible in as many places as possible. Anything else is helping George Bush and the Republicans advance their agenda.

St. Joseph School Endowment Trust will celebrate the fourth annual "Continue the Legacy" Gala at 6 p.m. Friday with a mass of Thanksgiving in the parish church, followed by a reception and dinner in the parish hall.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the building of St. Joseph Church in 1992, invited guest Father Alex Kennedy, who served as Associate Pastor of St. Joseph Church from 1990-95, will preside at the mass and reflect on how the building of the new Church pulled together Muskogee's Catholics and consolidated support for Catholic education.
Parishioners also will offer reflections from each of Muskogee's previous parishes: Church of the Assumption, Sacred Heart and Saint Augustine. Catholic parishioners will be honored for steadfastly supporting Catholic education in Muskogee since 1891. Parish support is crucial to St. Joseph School and provides nearly 20 percent of its annual budget.
St. Joseph School is a fully state accredited school with students from pre-kidnergarten through eighth grade, which welcomes students of all faiths.
Its mission is to "provide academic excellence in a safe Catholic Christian environment and to follow in Jesus' footsteps to create a better world." The school has 103 students.
St. Joseph School Endowment Trust was established in the 1970s to provide a stable source of additional funding for St. Joseph School.
Tickets for this year's Gala are $50 each and available through St. Joseph School office at (918) 683-1291.

Register-Herald Sports Writer
Alex Cottle is an athlete, there's no denying that.
Cottle was a standout player for both the Mountain State University and Woodrow Wilson High School soccer teams, as well as a track star. He even won the Beckley Half-Marathon with a pace of 6 minutes and 18 seconds.
Even after all of those accomplishments, Cottle still has one question to answer.
"How tough are you?"
The 6-foot-1, 183-pound. Cottle will be stepping into the ring at this weekend's Toughman Contest for the very first time.
"I've always loved working out and staying in shape," Cottle said. " I decided boxing was a challenge to see if I could do it."
Cottle made a name for himself as a competitor, so it came as no real surprise to those closest to him that he would be testing his limits in a pair of gloves and headgear.
"A lot of people have been wishing me good luck, I guess," he said. "I've had a couple of friends tell me I have a good chance. "
He's been training for the event with famed boxing coach Carl Murdock of the Mt. Hope Boxing Club in advance of his boxing debut.
"Alex is a tough kid," Murdock said. "He's going to have to get in there and get it. He's got a chance like everyone else."
While Murdock is training Cottle on perfecting his jab and straight right, it will be his superior cardio training that is sure to work to his advantage.
"I'm definitely not going to have any problems with cardio," Cottle said. "It all comes down to experience. There's going to be a lot of adrenaline. I ran track in college, and I feel like individual sports are the way to go. If you lose – you lose. It's your own fault. If you work hard, you get results. You don't have any excuses."
It may be results and the accomplishment of victory that are fueling Cottle, but the inspiration surely comes from those less fortunate.
Cottle is a supervisor at Burlington Foster Home in Beckley.
"We help a lot of challenged kids," he said. "We take kids through school. They all live together. So we make sure they do what they're supposed to do — help them with homework, just work with them and support them."
Now it's their turn to support Alex.
"A few of them know I'm going to be boxing," he said. "They're really excited for me. They wish they could be there to see me and wish me luck. I'll be walking, and they'll jokingly give me a jab. They're all really great kids."
The 34th Annual Southern WV Beckley Auto Mall "Original" Toughman Contest is this weekend, April 5 and 6 at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center.
The first fight of each night will start at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are on sale at the Convention Center and online at wvtoughman.com. To charge tickets by phone, call 1-888-695-0888.

Flavor-wise, love this one in play as it lasts the whole encounter and has that 'ah-ah!' Angels-singing factor....however, not to sure on the mechanical effect:
If you don't successfully roll vs each enemy in the burst area do all allies in the area still receive the healing?
I get everyone gaining 5 Hit Points straight away (or up to your max I assume) but then it says, "..and your healing powers restore +5 Hit Points until the end of the encounter." How does that bit work - is everyone constantly topped up 5 whenever they're hit until the end of the fight? Or is just your PC?
2. Burning Hands
2d6+INT FIRE damage. It's not 'ongoing' so is the fire just for effect? Do we assume it burns itself out come the next round? Or is this DM's discretion. Our Wizard scorched some Skeletons...as the Skeletons were magical we assumed they didn't burn just became 'disoriented/combat disadv' for a another round....?
Appreciate any clarification

Thugs underestimated OAP
Updated 3:20pm Thursday 31st October 2013 in Opinion
PEOPLE like Frederick Turner are made of strong stuff.
Two men burst into his home and attacked him.
Brave Frederick, 82, fought back and hit one of them with a poker.
The raiders probably weren't counting on a plucky pensioner.
But the fact that they grabbed him from behind, pushed him to the floor, held him still and injured his hand means the robbers weren't afraid to use force.
And if anyone has any information on the thugs who left with just £100, they should contact the police now.

Services of religare ahmedabad center is very bad. they are taking 7 days for the task of 10 minutes.Their executives become irresponsible after opening an account(and getting incentive from company) and will not pickup your phone even in any need. Only you need to do is to post mails to their higher management.

I opened account in religare and account openeing charges were paid, but even after 1month of clearing of cheque, there account department were keeping sending mail to clear the dues and made calls with threat(closing the account with plenty.Even their auto square-off system for intraday is highly bad. Based on my experience, I would advise to avoid the membership of religare.

hiif anyone having religare a/c pls provide me with the following details.1.delivery brokerage =2.intra day brokerage =3.min trade value / min brokerage. = [for eg icici doesnt allow to put a order of less than 500] and it requires 25rs as min brokerage or 2.5% whichever is less.4.whether portfolio tracker like icici available5.Watchlist like icici available.6.off market hrs orders accepted or not7.Speed 8.Banks a/cs allowed to work with religare.Currently i am using icici which is not bad very simple, but just evaluating whether any others are there which gives the same at a less cost.....If anyone already opened a/c with religare pls provide the details to make a decision

religare is ok... but the minimum transection charges which is rs 25. everyday u trade is a bit too much... u gotta trade minimum of 10,000 rs delivery based or 100,000 intra day... i mean they will charge u for this much trade even if u trade below this...also they dont provide u with contract notes.. but still is better.. at least they give u higher exposures.
1. ashish Oct 22, 2007 11:35:04 PM IST | Reply
Hi All,Also,the added advantages are...1. if you are a corporate, ten a/c opening charges are free. list of corporates covered mentioned on site.2. you get reward points for trading/ applying in IPO/ IPO allotment. which is a added advantage.for eg: if you apply for a IPO for 1 lakh rupees, you get 50 reward points irrespective of the allotment done to you.and if you get shares worth 10,000 rs in IPO, then you get 20 reward points.these points can be redeemed for different gift vouchers like Sodexo gift voucher, shopper stop voucher, big bazaar voucher, adidas/lee/ reebok voucher etc etc.....Though this is not big, but hey, you are getting something without paying anything then it adds as a added advantage.DISCLOSURE: I HAVE 3 DP A/C ICICIDIRECT,which is pathetic, Indiabulls as i am not able to trade in most of "Z" category shares, which is also not good, and Religare which is the best one i found so far.......

I will admit I am a huge Starbucks fan. Unlike some others I know, for me this does not translate to frequent visits. It is much too difficult for me to part with $5.
I kind of like it this way though because it has remained a real treat for me. Back home I went about 3 times a month. It would be my meeting place with friends to catch up or something to cheer me up when I was having a really bad day.
By the way, have you ever been to a Starbucks in Seattle. I've never heard such complex orders in my life. I actually felt a little stupid when I just ordered a non-fat latte. I felt like I should be more creative or something.
Okay, back to the point.
Well, surely you've noticed how desperately hard they are trying to appeal to the health conscious. Considering the fact that they have always had a skinny latte, yet now they feel the need to market it.
I've never really had a hard time choosing a healthy beverage there. Their pastries are a different story.
I rarely get one, but when I do it has to be a scone. Unbelievable! Luckily I have as much of a conscious about consuming 500 calories in 3 bites as I do parting with $5.
When I saw all their ads for healthy foods I thought – Here we go. Lets load 'em up with sugar and fat replacers and call 'em healthy.
But I got a friendly marketing email from them last night.
Could it be that they've actually created a truly health option? Part of the email stated,
"Together they are made from a range of great ingredients, including whole grains, fruit, nuts and seeds. None contain artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup."
Now, I haven't seen the whole ingredient list, but this is enough to make me look into it. Here are the products if you haven't seen them yet.
Now, I can't say this will make me start buying breakfast there. It is really just a specialty coffee place for me. I still need to see the calorie content, but I am glad to see the bit about the sweeteners.
They may provide a better option for those frequent visitors. Well, that is as long as they don't pair it up with a venti, whole milk, white chocolate mocha every day.

They will definitely need a better choice when you need a quick breakfast.
I was wondering what a skim misto was. I've never ordered one. I guess it is kind of like a cafe com leite or cafe au lait. I'll have to get one next time.

You may be responsible for the health of your city's trees and urban landscape. It's imperative that you protect valuable public trees, reduce liability, and manage costs within your budget. You can join the many cities like Chicago and Milwaukee who are consulting with Arborjet to manage invasive pests like Emerald Ash Borer.
View a recording of last year's EAB Webinar for Municipalities.
Have you heard ash tree removal is the only solution against Emerald Ash Borer? EAB Quarantine Area
This notion is entirely false. Chicago and Milwaukee started protecting over 100,000 ash trees from EAB, using Arborjet tree injection. Arborjet products are supported by 5 Universities as the most effective and longest lasting solutions for EAB. Formulations
What cities are using Arborjet?
Major cities like Chicago, Milwaukee and Worcester are making a difference. Learn More
Do EAB Treatments Cost Too Much?
No. Arborjet tree injection treatments cost around $50 ($25 a year) to treat an average size tree for two years of control. On average, it will cost your community anywhere between $500-$1000 to remove a single tree! Treat your trees for decades for what it costs to remove and replace them. Not to mention you get to keep your mature urban forest too!
National Tree Benefit Calculator
Conceived and developed by Casey Tress and Davey Tree Expert Co.
The average tree pays us back on an annual basis. One tree produces $80-$200 a year in cost saving benefits. National Tree Benefit Calculator

CLEVELAND: According to two of baseball's most trusted statistics, Mike Aviles is one of the last players anyone would want on his team.
His career on-base percentage is a mediocre .307 and his OPS is a sleep-inducing .714. Moreover, this season he's even worse. Heading into Saturday night's game against the Twins, Aviles had a dreary .299 on-base percentage with a .696 OPS.
So why has he been such a valuable player for the Indians?
"If a general manager is going to put together a team, he's not going to get nine guys with a low OPS," manager Terry Francona said Saturday. "But when you have a guy who can play short, second, third, left and right, who hits right-handers and left-handers, who can lay down a bunt, steal a base and hit a fastball, you can kind of push aside that OPS."
Aviles has been filling in for injured shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera. Usually, weaknesses of bench players are exposed when they play ever day. That hasn't happened with Aviles.
"It's hard to find a shortstop who can play every day who isn't playing every day," Francona said.
Aviles is batting .273 with four home runs, 23 RBI, 25 runs and five steals in six attempts.
"You don't just look at one stat where a guy is below the league average," Francona said. "You look at the nine or 10 things he does well."
Aviles played for Francona in Boston, so it's no coincidence that he signed with the Tribe.
"I thought about him right away," Francona said. "It was not an accident that we got him."
Not yet
Nick Swisher (sore shoulder) was not in Saturday night's lineup.
"I talked to him last night," manager Terry Francona said. "He was not going to play Saturday night and in a day game Sunday. So why not push him back a day [from Saturday].
"Let's play it by ear. He'll take batting practice [today] and if he's raring to go, he could play. If he needs one more day, that's fine, too. But he'll probably play [today]."
Swisher missed six consecutive games.
Is it likely that if Swisher takes one hard swing or puts great effort into one throw, the shoulder injury could recur?
"I could see it a little more with the throw," Francona said. "But the swing, I would hope not."
Zach McAllister (finger injury) will play long toss at 120 feet today then take the tape off his finger and begin the long toss progression all over again from 60 or 75 feet.
"He has to be completely free of symptoms when he rejoins the team," Francona said.
When he'll be back is unknown.
"We never put a timetable on it," Francona said. "We honestly don't know."
Two more sign
The Indians signed two more players acquired in the June draft: left-hander Kyle Crockett, the fourth-round pick, and infielder James Roberts, taken in the 15th round.
Crockett, 21, was the stalwart of the University of Virginia bullpen, compiling a 4-1 record, 12 saves and a 1.68 ERA in 28 appearances. He struck out 68 and walked six in 52⅔ innings. Roberts, 21, played at USC.
Wahoo club meets
The next meeting of the Wahoo Club will be at 11 a.m. July 13 in the Terrace Club at Progressive Field. Special guest will be Mike Aviles. For information, call Bob Rosen at 440-724-8350 or log onto wahooclub.com.
Farm facts
Danny Salazar (1-2, 4.91 ERA) gave up three runs and four hits, striking out nine in five innings, as Columbus lost 4-2 to Lehigh Valley. … Tyler Naquin had three hits, including a double, and Jordan Smith homered and singled in Carolina's 5-1 loss to Potomac. … Anthony Santander and Joe Sever homered, and Eric Gonzalez had two hits and two RBI, as Lake County beat Dayton 11-5. … Claudio Bautista homered, doubled and singled in Mahoning Valley's 3-2 loss to Batavia.

Regis will christen Sevier County's Titanic museum
Television host Regis Philbin will be on hand to christen Sevier County's newest attraction, the Titanic.
The christening of the $25 million museum which is shaped like the historic ship is part of grand opening events that will be held on April 8 in Pigeon Forge.
Dubbed the world's largest permanent Titanic museum, the three-story attraction features 20 rooms with more than 400 artifacts and personal items, an exclusive photo collection and hands-on-activities.
"We pay respect to Titanic by telling the story of the ship and her passengers," John Joslyn, owner of the new Titanic museum, said in a press release. "Visitors learn the individual stories of those onboard the ship as they are learning about the ship itself. We have spent years researching these people and their stories are absolutely amazing."
The christening and grand opening events, which take place outside of the
Titanic museum attraction, are free and open to the public.

Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish (1350 Pasadena Ave. S., St. Petersburg, FL 33707 — 727-381-7931; map) has been in operation for over 50 years. It's a place locals love. I suppose there is the occasional tourist who wants something more high-falutin' than this, but 99.99% of all the locals I know—and most tourists–dream about the food at Ted Peters. It's rustic and it's real. It's the Florida I remember as a grade school kid visiting from Illinois. My parents would pack us in a 1950s Buick with no air-conditioning. We'd head down for our summer road trips to Mississippi and Florida. FLORIDA!… paradise for any Yankee.
Ted Peters has a very short menu. My personal favorites are the potato salad, fish spread, and the smoked mullet and smoked mackerel (when it's in season). They also have smoked salmon. Many people swear by their cheeseburgers. I keep meaning to try one…but every time the smoked fish calls to me too loudly. That's only the lunch sized portion of mullet pictured above; the complete dinner portion is considerably more. Their iced tea is freshly brewed and really helps one cope with August-in-Florida heat and humidity; that's also true for their root beer in a frosty mug.
You can eat indoors or outdoors. They're closed on Tuesdays and only take cash (this is not an uncommon practice in many local restaurants in St. Pete). It's a very casual place, so no need to dress up at all.
The fish are red oak smoked (red oak is a Florida wood) right there on the property (the picture above is of the smoke house). If you're an angler, they'll smoke your fish for you for $1 a pound. Ted's is in a part of St. Pete that's technically South Pasadena, an area very near the water but before you get to the actual beaches. Fishermen are not uncommon at Ted's. Same for bikers. Same for families. Same for everyone who loves "old Florida" charm and comfort food.

Judging from the number of public speakers, the most compelling issue before the El Cerrito City Council Tuesday night was a resolution asking local businesses not to sell 20 rodenticides that the EPA has targeted as too dangerous.
Seven of the evening's nine speakers addressed the issue, all in favor of the resolution, which also asks local residents and contractors, as well as city staff, not to use the products.
The council approved the measure unanimously as part of its adoption of the consent calendar, a collection of items that are voted on together and not part of the council debate or discussion.
Eleven of the 20 rat and mouse poisons on the EPA list are highly toxic anticoagulants, meaning they cause death from bleeding. They are also blamed by critics for illnesses and deaths among children, pets and wildlife.
One of the more vivid stories related by the speakers came from El Cerrito resident Patricia Jones who told of "Mo," a fledgling turkey vulture that her family watched being raised near their home. He later died from ingesting rat poison.
"We were horrified as he came to us moments before he died," Jones said."As the prior speaker said, it's not a pretty death."
Jane Kelly of Berkeley decried rodenticides for "poisoning children and killing dogs and cats, birds of prey and many other species of wildlife."
"There are thousands of deaths caused by these products," she said, summarizing the findings of the "literally heartbreaking" data she obtained from the state Department of Pesticide Regulation.
"I also wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how impressed we are with the environmental leadership shown by the City of El Cerrito," she added.
"It's everything. It's the new Recycling Center, the rain gardens, the way you install swales along the streets, the California native plantings whenever landscaping is performed – you are really forward-thinking and creative. And I just wanted to take the opportunity this evening to say it's not going unnoticed by the residents of your neighboring cities."
Councilwoman Ann Cheng, who proposed the council resolution, noted that the city does not use anticoagulant rodenticides.
The proposal was endorsed by the city's Environmental Quality Control Committee on Aug. 14. Several residents as well as members of the ad hoc group, Raptors Are The Solution (RATS), have also contacted city staff urging support for the measure, according to the staff report presented to council.
The report, which includes the resolution, is attached to this article.
