Look at Mark Weisman's reaction to the handoff when C.J. Beathard keeps the ball and runs a naked bootleg for the final nail in the coffin touchdown against Nebraska! Was C.J. told to call a run play, but keep the ball and not tell anyone? Weisman's reaction tells me he was expecting to have the ball on the handoff. You tell me!

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - The Chicago Cubs claimed pitcher Neil Ramirez off waivers on Friday to complete a July 22 trade with the Texas Rangers.

Ramirez has been assigned to Double-A Tennessee. The 24-year-old went 9-3 with an ERA of 3.84 over 21 starts with Double-A Frisco this season. The right- hander led the Texas League in strikeouts (127).

This article contains excerpts from a press release published on
the National Retail Federation (NRF) website entitled Consumers Eager To Have A Frightfully Good Time This
Halloween, According To NRF.
October 7, 2011 | Halloween consumer spending this
October is forecasted to be the highest that it has been in the past 10
years with product spending expected to reach $6.8 billion, according to
the National Retail
Federation (NRF).
More people will dress in costume (43.9% vs. 40.1% in 2010) and throw
or attend a party (34.3% vs. 33.3% in 2010), while half (49.5%) will
decorate their home or yard and 14.7% will dress their pets in costume.
Nearly three quarters of those surveyed (73.5%) will hand out candy and
32.9% will take kids trick-or-treating.
Americans are forecasted to spend $1 billion on children's
costumes – up from $840 million last year, with the average
consumer spending $26.52 on Halloween apparel. As for decorations, more
people this year than in the survey's history will decorate
– spending an average of $19.79.
However, the sluggish economy will continue to have an impact on
consumer spending. Nearly one-third (32.1%) of survey respondents
said the economy will impact their Halloween plans, with 87.1% saying
that they plan to spend less overall. Methods for cutting costs
include making a costume instead of buying one (18.9%), recycling last
year's costume (16.6%) and buying less candy (40.2%).

I cover technology companies, worldwide economies and the stock market
AT&T announced that it sold over 10 million smartphones in the December quarter. This is about one million more smartphones than was alluded to when AT&T's mobility CEO, Ralph de la Vega, made comments on December 5 that the company would sell 26 million smartphones in 2012. Since AT&T had sold about 16.7 million smartphones in the first three quarters that meant that the company was on-track to sell 9.3 million in the December quarter (however one should always allow for some cushion when management is making forward looking statements).
From de la Vega's comments I had calculated that AT&T would sell about 7.5 million iPhones in the December quarter, which would have been a slight decline of 100,000 from the 7.6 million sold the previous year. Now that AT&T has said it sold over 10 million smartphones in the quarter I estimate that it sold approximately 8.2 million iPhones which would be an increase of 8% year over year. While not at the growth levels previously seen it is better than slightly down.
This data point supports my estimate of 50.5 million iPhones sold in the quarter as it lowers the numbers needed for other carriers to sell by 700,000 or it could indicate that Apple sold more than I am projecting. I am estimating that Apple generated $57 billion in revenue with 38.8% gross margins and $14.30 in EPS, which is above Street expectations for revenue of $54.6 billion and EPS of $13.34.
Disclosure: My family and I own Apple shares.
A question to the author, does AT&T count iPhones sold via Apple Store and other retail outlets as well in this figure? Or is this 10 million figure just through their channel via AT&T website and their store?
Question for the author: how do you arrive at an assumption 82% of smartphone sales being iPhones?

Stuck in a rut? Overhauling your finances can be challenging to say the least. These days we are bombarded with a huge array of financial options. Boy is it difficult to know which way to turn. Most people are in debt and some are even afraid to acknowledge the financial trouble they are in. Keeping on top of your finances doesn't have to be overwhelming. Here are some simple ways to exercise and increase your "Financial Fiscal Fitness."
1. Save money each and every month
Set up an Emergency Fund: Set aside a specific amount of money every month and put it in a separate savings account. Whether $5 or $10 per month you're off to a great start. The more money you save, the more you will have when that emergency crops up and you suddenly need the extra cash. You can even set up having a specific amount of money deducted from your paychecks and deposited into a savings or retirement account. Set up a "What If-Spare Change Jar" as a way of generating a little extra cash. Each night dump your pocket change into the jar or container and watch it grow! As the old adage goes, "every little bit helps!"
2. Join your Employer's 401K/Retirement/Pension Plan
If it's offered, immediately join Employer's Retirement/Pension Plan as it's a great and easy way of saving for your future retirement. Amazing how many people don't actually contribute to these Employer Sponsored Plans. 401(k)/403 (b) Retirement Plans take money out of your paychecks before taxes. This means your taxable income is reduced and more goes into your pocket/savings. You aren't taxed on this money until you begin using it in your retirement. You decide how much money you want deducted from each paycheck when you enroll in the Plan. Contact your Human Resources Department to get information on how to enroll and join these Plans.
3. Bill Time Management
Do we have time to exercise our bodies and minds? Hope so, as it's very important. Even more so is time to manage our Monthly Bills and Expenses. You need to make the time to do this and increase your "Financial Fiscal Fitness".
Most of us are so busy with the rest of our lives that keeping on top of our financial situation often gets pushed aside for other more pressing tasks.
"Financial Fiscal Fitness" becomes a lot less strenuous if you divide it into small time slots. Set aside ½ hour – ¾ hour to sort out all of your bills for the week. Then set aside another ½ hour to balance your checkbook to make sure you have entered what bills have been paid and amounts withdrawn from that account. For an even better idea, spend additional time entering your all your expenses into an Excel Spreadsheet. This will really show how well you're sticking to you Budget. By spending just 1 ½ - 2 hours a week, you can really overhaul your "Financial Fiscal Fitness".
4. Cut Down Fixed Expenses
Got a Budget? If not, make one, NOW!
Make a list of all household expenses. What items are fixed? What can be cut down? Which ones cost the most money every month? Look for ways to save money on them. For example, you might want to do your grocery shopping at a different supermarket for a while to see how much money you can save. Use Coupons whether in the newspaper, magazines or those online like Target.com or Coupon Mom. In fact, Target will take both the Manufacturer's Coupons and their own ones. That saves a whole lot more!
For household items, look on price comparison websites to find the stores that are selling them for the cheapest price. For those of you that have Android or iPhones, you can get an app that will scan the item and price check for you! If the store with the lowest price is out of town, you will have to spend more money on gas to get there. This may end up costing you about the same in the end if you had just continued shopping at your local grocery store. Concentrate on items that cost a significant chunk of your income each month. Even though a little savings does add up, don't waste time trying to save fifteen cents on diapers, as this will make only a little dent on your overall household expenses by the end of the month. If you can save lots of little amounts on many items at one store, that is best as it will save time, money and gas.
5. Cash or Credit?
Boy is it tempting to put everything on your credit card.
Unfortunately this will only create more financial problems. According to www.moneycentral.msn.com the average American household has approximately $8,000 of credit card debt. When you pay off your credit cards, it is unlikely that you will remember all of the small expenses you used your credit card for. Use cash to pay for small expenses such as gas, magazines, coffee and sweet treats.
Budget how much you can spare for your weekly cash fund, and stick to it. If you don't think you have willpower that can handle that, leave the credit cards at home. Keep track of what you're buying. If you only have twenty dollars in your pocket, you won't be able to splurge on things that aren't a necessity. If you do this on a regular basis, you might be surprised at how many items you buy that you don't really need.
6. Stuck on You!
Said it before, I'll say it again…Have a Budget? Stick to it! Don't have one? Work one up, NOW!
Financial Fitness is very important in order to survive in today's extremely tough economy. Work on your Budget to figure out how much you can afford to spend. Stick to this budget. Sadly, many people find their monthly expenses equal more than their income! This is why so many of us are in debt. We spend more than we earn, and find out later that we don't have the money to pay back these debts. Avoid this nightmare by sticking rigidly to your Budget. Don't spend more than you have. It's extremely important that you keep track of your income and expenses so that you're always on top of your financial situation.
When working out your budget, it's very helpful to go thru receipts from the last six months. This allows you to immediately see exactly where the money went. It also helps factor in hidden expense such as repairs to clothing, cars and your home. Look to see what frivolous items you can cut back on or even better, cut out. A good portion of your income may be spent on coffee every morning on your way to work, or drinks and appetizers after work. I'm not saying to stop enjoying these items, just be cautious. As over time, these additional expenses add up.
Credit Scores have a big effect on your "Financial Fiscal Fitness" and your Financial future.
Lenders use your credit scores to decide how risky it will be to lend you money. A low credit score can lead to being denied a credit card or loan, (expensive items such as a car or home). To improve your credit scores, pay down or pay off your credit card debts as soon as you can. The more debt you have that maxes out your credit lines, the lower your score will be. Paying off your loans and credit card debts show Lenders that you can be trusted to repay your credit on time. Use Credit wisely. See my Blog; The 7 Deadly Credit Card Sins for some great info.
8. Keep it or Sell it?
Have a garage sale to get rid of your unwanted stuff. Your junk is someone else's treasure! By selling these items you will create a lot more space in your house, plus get some extra cash. If you don't want to hold a garage sale go to "New Uses" across from Ridgedale Mall. This store will buy your used items and then resells them. Another great option if you have lots and lots of items is to have an
Estate Sale. Please call me if you would like to find out more about Estate Sales, I will be happy to recommend a great choice for this option.
9. Home Refinance
Own your Home? How high is your Interest Rate? Is your Mortgage working for you?
Current Rates are at the lowest level they have been in over 30 years. NOW is the time to refinance and save your hard earned money! Call me today to see how much you can save.
When you begin to work on your "Financial Fiscal Fitness", it's very important to work on your debt reduction before you start saving for the future. Being in debt affects your credit rating, which affects your ability to get credit when you need it. Once you've paid off your debts, these tips should help you to avoid getting into debt again and help you keep track of your finances.

(NECN: Jack Thurston, North Hero, VT) - The tiny 1820s
courthouse in North Hero, Vt. played host to a changing of the guard Wednesday.
Dozens came to witness the swearing-in ceremony for the county's new sheriff.
"Overwhelmed, just an honor and a privilege," Sheriff Ray Allen said, describing his first day on the job.
Allen was picked to head the Grand Isle County Sheriff's
Department, but as his dad observed, it was a celebration no one wanted to see.
"There are a lot of mixed emotions here today," the sheriff's father, also named Ray Allen, said.
Allen is replacing the former sheriff, who took her own life
earlier this summer. She was someone the new leader knew better than anyone,
because she was his wife: Connie Allen.
"She and I had worked side by side for 19 years," Sheriff Allen said.
Ray Allen served as a deputy all those years. His late
spouse was one of Vermont's first and only female sheriffs, elected in 2002.
"We all know she was an extraordinary mom, grandmother, and wife," said Gov. Peter Shumlin, D-Vt. "She was extraordinarily well-respected in this county."
Following Connie Allen's death, the community almost unanimously wanted the family to stay at the head of the department. "She'd be proud," her widower said.
Connie Allen's sister wrote a letter to the newspaper that serves Grand Isle County saying Allen loved her job as sheriff and lived her life with compassion. The sister asked Allen's neighbors to honor her life by continuing her work to empower the kids of the county. That includes a youth summer camp that stresses respect for others.
Grand Isle County is Vermont's smallest, home to only about
7,000 people. It boasts lots of farmland and gorgeous views of Lake Champlain.
Connie Allen loved the area, and the man who loved her is proud to work to keep
Grand Isle County a safe and nice place to live.
"All that's going to continue," Sheriff Allen said.Tags: Ray Allen, vermont, Jack Thurston, North Hero, Grand Isle County Sheriff

Before the MVP award is officially doled out, think about some of the things that Patriots QB Tom Brady dealt with this season:
Brady managed to overcome all of that, leading an offense that was tops in the league in points per game (32.4).
The maestro of the Patriots' offense threw for 3,900 yards and 36 TDs while only being picked off four times, setting an NFL record in the process for most consecutive passes without a pick. And as it turned out, everything worked out well: Welker came back healthy, Green-Ellis and Woodhead picked up the offense perfectly, Mankins returned to keep Brady upright, the tight ends proved to be dynamic redzone threats and the defense improved as the season progressed.
New England is the favorite to win the Super Bowl next month. Add that to the MVP honor that he should receive soon, and it will be quite the year for Brady.
(Preseason ranking in parentheses)
1. Patriots QB Tom Brady (No. 4) — As remarkable as Brady's 2010 season was, does it top his '07 campaign? The question has been asked a lot and it's an intriguing argument. Three years ago he threw for 906 more yards and 14 more TDs for a team that went 16-0 in the regular season. He also had a much more experienced offense and threw twice as many interceptions. No matter your opinion, it's hard to deny that Brady has produced a couple of the greatest seasons by a quarterback the league has ever seen.
2. Eagles QB Michael Vick (NR) — The knock on Vick is that he missed a quarter of the Eagles' games this season. In the 12 games where he was on the field, however, Vick was the most dynamic player in the league. Vick accounted for 3,694 yards rushing and throwing, as well as 30 touchdowns, leading the Eagles to an NFC East title.
3. Falcons QB Matt Ryan (NR) — The NFC playoffs go through Atlanta, thanks in large part to Ryan. The third-year QB had his best season as a pro, throwing for 3,705 yards and 28 touchdowns for the 13-3 Falcons. He also cut down on his mistakes, throwing five fewer interceptions this season than he did in 2009, despite having 120 more passing attempts.
4. Colts QB Peyton Manning (No. 1) — Manning finished with career highs in passing attempts, completions and yards. More importantly, he led the Colts to their ninth-consecutive playoff appearance, throwing nine TDs and only two picks during Indianapolis' four-game winning streak to close out the season.
5. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (No. 3) — Playing in a win-and-your-in game in Week 17, Rodgers and the Packers did what they needed to do, topping the Bears and clinching the NFC's final wild card berth. It was an up-and-down season for Rodgers, who dealt with multiple concussions during the year, but he could end in on a high note with a long playoff run.
6. Saints QB Drew Brees (No. 2) — Interceptions were a problem for Brees in 2010, as he set a new career high in the category (22). When his passes did find his fellow Saints, though, the results were usually good, as Brees finished third in the league in passing yards (4,620).
7. Steelers OLB James Harrison (NR) — Harrison and fellow-Steeler Troy Polamalu battled for the top defensive player honor, but in the end, the outside linebacker's numbers were too good. Harrison is no one-trick pony. He's a complete player, as he finished with 100 tackles, 10½ sacks, six forced fumbles and two interceptions.
8. Chargers QB Philip Rivers (No. 7) — Leading the league's top-ranked offense, Rivers tossed 30 touchdowns and threw for 4,710 yards, most in the NFL. Just imagine what he could have done if Vincent Jackson hadn't missed 11 games or if Antonio Gates was healthy all season long.
9. Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (NR) — In 2009, Cassel threw 16 touchdowns and as many interceptions, and Kansas City finished in the basement of their division with a 4-12 K.C. record. The Chiefs' fortunes changed this year, and Cassel's improvement was a big reason for that. He finished with 27 TDs, just seven picks and the Chiefs won the AFC West with a 10-6 record.
10. Falcons RB Michael Turner (NR) — Turner rebounded from an injury-plagued 2009 season with a 1,371-yard, 12-touchdown campaign. His consistent production wore down defenses and helped put Ryan in position to succeed.
Five on the cusp (in alphabetical order) — Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman, Texans RB Arian Foster, Bears DE Julius Peppers, Steelers SS Troy Polamalu, Falcons WR Roddy White.

This morning we're going international and featuring our first post from across the pond. Welcome Amanda! Welcome America! A friend of mine kindly introduced me to Amanda and I'm hoping we'll be hearing more from her in the coming months. Not only is she an all round good egg (you can check out her family's efforts to become self-sufficient here) but she's also managed to deliver her own baby, how cool is that?! Amanda is a doula – a job that fascinates me – and she's put together this handy introduction to doulas, giving an insight in to what they do.
I had never heard of a birth doula until I was pregnant with my first child. As I started reading and learning more about them, as well as reading and learning more about birth in general, I realized that I didn't just want a doula at my birth – I wanted to be one.
Many people confuse a doula and midwife. Doulas aren't care providers or medical practitioners. A doula is trained to provide emotional, physical, and informational support to women in labor. We help the woman have the best birth experience possible for her. We try to help her meet her goals for her birth, whatever those might be, and we help guide her down that often confusing path when something comes up that may go against her birth plans.
Image credit
Here in the US, doulas are often portrayed in the media as hippie or witchy types (and, admittedly, some of us may be that) who push natural birth above all and often create problems between clients and their doctors. But doulas aren't just for women who want unmedicated births, and we strive to keep clear communication and support between all staff and support persons. We're trained to provide comfort measures for natural birth as well as measures for helping to alleviate side effects that often come with different medications. Doulas can even help with cesarean births – we can help the parents understand the process fully, help prepare during prenatal visits, and if your hospital allows doulas in the surgery room, doulas can support both mom and partner through the whole process itself. While the doctors and partner might be busy elsewhere with the baby or babies, a doula makes sure that someone is always focused completely on mom and her needs.
Above all, a doula makes sure that the expectant mom is empowered and in control of her own birth. We won't take your voice, but we can help you vocalize. We don't make medical choices for you, and we support you through any choice you might make. If something deviates from the birth plan and mom is deep in labor-land and doesn't notice, or is perhaps having trouble understanding her options, we help ensure that any intervention is understood and each decision made with fully informed consent. While our primary focus is on the laboring mother, a doula can also empower and support the birth partner, often helping them better understand the process and assisting them with supporting mom in more helpful and meaningful ways.
Research* has shown that having doula support can: shorten labor, decrease rate of interventions, reduce cesarean rate by 50%, lower postpartum depression rates, increase breastfeeding success, improve bonding outcomes, and increase the parents' confidence postpartum. Many doulas embrace the philosophy that anyone who desires a doula should have the opportunity, and women can often receive free or reduced support services by teaming with a student doula who needs a certain number of birth hours for certification. Sometimes you might get two for the price of one with a mentor and student doula team. In addition to supporting mothers in need, there are many doulas out there who offer free support for families who are in the armed forces, who have lost their baby, who are giving a baby up for adoption, for surrogates, and for teen parents.
In addition to birth doulas, families can also find postpartum doulas who specialize in supporting families after the baby is born. Postpartum doulas assist with the mother's comfort and postpartum care, offer breastfeeding support, help with childcare of both the newborn and/or older siblings, do light housework or errand running, cook meals, and offer information about local resources when needed. Many doulas are trained to provide related services as well. For example, many doulas, both birth and postpartum, are also certified lactation consultants, childbirth educators, massage therapists, photographers, reiki practitioners, hypnobirthing instructors, henna artists, bellycasters, chaplains, interpreters, and even midwives' assistants, although most will stick to a doula's non-medical scope of practice when acting as a doula. (Those who provide the same support as doulas but who also offer things like blood pressure monitoring, fetal heart tones, vaginal exams, etc. are called monitrices.)
Of course, I may be a bit biased, but I believe that there's a doula out there for everyone. Much like care providers, sometimes it just takes shopping around until you find the one that clicks. But if you find that you live in one of those areas where quality, passionate doulas are hard to find, then maybe you might consider becoming one! It's extremely rewarding work.

While Lino Viola recently closed his landmark Italian restaurant, , with a heavy heart, he is optimistic about the future, looking forward to a brand new chapter in his career as a restaurateur.
He said that even though business has been slow for quite a while, it's only in the past year that he seriously considered closing down.
"This place has been my life, and it's hard to detach myself from it," he said. "But business hasn't been that good recently, and we didn't have any more money to put in. You can't keep putting good money into bad. But I'm very, very sad about it."
After a 35-year run in Cedarhurst, Viola decided to change course a bit, with plans to open a new kind of restaurant in a new place with his daughter Paulette.
They have their sights set on the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where they plan to open a pub or café.
"Young people today want food that's simpler, lighter and quicker," Viola said. "My daughter Paulette says that Williamsburg is an up-and-coming area. She will do well, because she grew up in the restaurant business, along with my other two children. But we don't want to rush into anything, because when you rush, you can make mistakes. We're looking for the right location."
Since Viola said he thinks that there is a slim chance his Cedarhurst location will remain a restaurant, he decided to sell the contents with an auction planned for next week. He thinks the location will likely become some kind of office building.
"We've got two big floors, expensive chefs, assistant chefs, so much inventory and a big menu," he said. "It's a very big operation. If anything, maybe a kosher restaurant has a chance to succeed here."
Viola said that having a non-kosher restaurant in an increasingly kosher neighborhood has hurt business, as well as the poor economy. His daughter Paulette voiced the same sentiments.
"It's hard when more and more residents want kosher," she said. "The neighborhood isn't what it used to be. Also, people used to come from all over, but no one wants to come here anymore, because there's nothing going on here. The economy hurt too. There's a couple of restaurants that are still here, but they're hanging on by a thread."
By contrast, she claimed that Williamsburg and surrounding areas are flourishing.
"Williamsburg is booming," she said. "There's so much going on there. A lot of young people live there, enjoy the arts and spend money. Since we live in Cedarhurst, we'll miss the convenience we had of living a few blocks from our restaurant, but we're on to bigger and better things."
Viola still gets choked up when he reminisces about the history of La Viola, which he started in the 1970s with his wife Elsa, who died earlier this year. But he's not the only one who is sorry to see the restaurant close.
"Whenever I walked in there it was a very warm and cozy place," said Fran Lombardo, a longtime employee of the . "Before he passed away, Danny Dwyer, the tennis pro from the Woodmere club, used to take a group of us there every year for a nice dinner. He liked to do something nice for us, as a thank you for working hard for him. They had good family-style food at La Viola, and it was very homey."
Lisa Lanese, co-owner of , also had kind parting words for La Viola and its owner.
"It was a nice place, and Lino was a wonderful neighbor," she said. "His place was a great addition to the town of Cedarhurst. He was a gentleman from day one."
Viola owns the building, located at 499 Chestnut St., which he says was an inn decades before he bought it. There is a large unused part of the restaurant that remains as it was back then — several bedrooms linked by narrow hallways. Now, as Viola strolls through those halls and the empty dining rooms, which are being prepped for the upcoming auction, he reflects on all the prosperous years and the customers who became friends.
"We had some very good years here. It was wonderful," he said. "I will miss this place, and most of all, I will miss the people that I've gotten to know so well over the years. But I guess it's time to move on."

A LOT of power but they have killed that cars looks and chopped bits of every where! nice as u say as a project car but nothing else!
Looks pretty ugly, the intercooler is like dragging on the ground. Great project car though. Check out the Used S4 Parts... looks like some pretty good deal K04 Turbo's $500 a piece.
A good project, but in my opinion, they took 2 steps back when they made it single turbo. With 2 smaller turbos you get the same flow rate, but brings the power range down the revs.... This way you get HUG midrange and top end... its a win win situation.... Single turbo? NAh!

OSU helps schools reduce pesticide use, comply with law
New strategies save money and reduce children's exposure to pesticides
Mandated by state law, the Oregon State University Extension Service has drawn up best practices for schools to implement to reduce their pesticide use. The plans use integrated pest management (IPM), which employs chemicals as a last resort and instead aims to eliminate the conditions that attract pests, some of which can trigger asthma – a condition that 10 percent of all Oregon children have.
As part of the law, each school district must designate an IPM coordinator. Extension provided IPM training to coordinators from 183 of Oregon's 197 school districts in 2012.
Backers say IPM will reduce costs. The Anne Arundel district in Maryland reduced its pest control budget from $46,000 to $14,000 after its first year of IPM. Schools in Montgomery County in Maryland reduced pesticide use from 5,000 applications in 1985 to none four years later, saving $1,800 per school and $30,000 at the food service warehouse. The Monroe County Community School Corp. in Indiana saves about $13,600 a year with IPM.

The Daily Star
---- — Main View Gallery & Studio's fall exhibit, "Food Glorious Food," will opens with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. today at 73 Main St. in Oneonta.
In a media release, Artistic Coordinator and Curator Zena Gurbo said, "food is one of our favorite topics of conversation and a source of inspiration here at Main View Gallery. Working with local artists, we approached this theme from many different angles including plein air drawings with Richard Kathmann at Greenane Farms, egg tempera painting with Jane Carr, and works in different styles and mediums created during open studio."
Main View Gallery artists also worked cooperatively with two local food businesses, Green Earth Health Food Market and B-Side Ballroom & Supper Club to create food-themed art for display in their establishments, she said. "The result is a feast for the eyes which takes the viewer on a journey from the source of our food, to food as an artistic medium, to the tradition of food and how it is shared with the people we love."
The opening reception will feature refreshments, art for sale and Main View Gallery's book, "Suddenly There Were Leaves." The anthology offers a collection of artwork created by Main View Gallery artists during the past eight years along with poems written during winter writing workshops led by Bertha Rogers. "Suddenly There Were Leaves" is edited by Rogers and published by Bright Hill Press.
"Food Glorious Food" will runs through Nov. 15. Hours for the gallery are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays, and by appointment. For more information, visit www.mainviewgallery.org or call 432-1890.
Main View Gallery & Studio is a program of The Arc Otsego. The Arc Otsego, a private, not-for-profit organization, is a chapter of NYSARC Inc., and a member of The Arc of The United States.

A professional boxer as well as mixed martial artist, KJ Noons is the former EliteXC lightweight champion, now signed with Strikeforce. He was stripped of the lightweight title when he refused to defend it against Nick Diaz, the same man he took the title from. Noons took some time away from MMA to try and further his boxing career, but found mixed results and returned to MMA in 2010 where, after picking up several wins, he would lose in his bid to move up in weight and take the welterweight title from Diaz.

The Houston County Sheriff's Office is hoping for a bigger budget this year.
Sheriff Andy Hughes says although the department has increased revenue it still lacks proper funding.
That's why he's asking county commissioners to carefully consider this year's budget.
"We've had to dip into our discretionary funds to make sure all surfaces that we need to provide to the citizens of Houston County are still being accomplished and we need more money to operate," said Sheriff Andy Hughes.
Sheriff Hughes says the budget has decreased from nearly $11 million to 9 million since he took office.
That's why he's looking at state grants to help buy new equipment.

MILWAUKIE, Ore. - Two 13-year olds from Milwaukie who did the right thing when they found a bag full of cash will be rewarded for their honesty.
Michael Howell and Joseph Johnson, along with Michael's mother, were walking through the Rite-Aid parking lot on SE Oak in Milwaukie when something caught their eye.
"When I first saw it I thought it was folded up cardboard," said Johnson. "I see it's wads of $20's everywhere," he added.
The boys stumbled across several hundred dollars in cash.
"I was just amazed," said Howell. "It was everywhere."
But instead of pocketing the money, the boys took it to the police station and turned it in.
"They said it's the first time ever money was found and people brought it back to them," said Howell.
"I just know my son and know he would do that," said Jeanette Howell.
Michael's parents are not surprised the boys took the high road.
"I'm really proud of both boys," said Rob Howell. "I think they'll feel good about themselves," he added.
The boys said they turned in the money because of their faith.
Now, a private citizen and a video game store plan to give them cash as a reward, after hearing about how the boys took the high road. The boys had said if the cash was theirs, they would have used it to buy video games.
If you believe the money belongs to you, be sure to call the Milwaukie Police.

As more and more major studios realize the potential of web-based series, it was only a matter of time before they tapped into the already overwhelming popularity of horror and supernatural content. The latest successful example is Fox Digital's new comedy horror series Wolfpack of Reseda, which its creators describe as "True Blood meets The Office." That's actually a pretty good "elevator pitch" for the show (as the industry suits like to say), but the writers of Wolfpack have dug a little deeper than that, using the social dynamics of a wolf pack as a metaphor for the dog-eat-dog world of the modern corporate landscape... with a pinch of Fight Club-style anarchy for spice. But don't let my film snob pseudo-intellectual nonsense distract you from the main point: Wolfpack is an insanely funny sitcom that genre fans really should be checking out pronto.
I got a chance to chat with the show's music composer, Timothy Michael Wynn, who already has an esteemed rep for work on video games like The Punisher, The Simpsons and the Command & Conquer series, and whose TV credits include genre mega-hit Supernatural. Timothy told FEARnet about the fine art of balancing laughs and lycanthropy in his latest project...
FEARnet: So how did you come to be involved in Wolfpack of Reseda?
WYNN: I've scored a bunch of projects with the producer, Gary Bryman, and Steve Hein, VP of Production at Fox Digital. Those guys are unbelievably talented and always seem to have projects that have unique stories. They introduced me to Chris Leone the director, and we hit it off. Chris is a great guy to work for, super-smart and insightful. We also enlisted another composer, Corey Jackson, to get the project done in time. I've worked with him over the years and he's fantastic.
Do you approach music differently for an online series, compared to a TV series?
Not really; it's essentially the same beast.
But it does seem like the lines are blurring more and more between the two platforms, doesn't it?
I feel like all of the lines are blurred... that's one of the reasons I was so excited to do this. I think the direction of shows starting out on the web could be a big trend.
I love how Wolfpack keeps both feet firmly in comedy, even when the horror cues start to come in. How did you balance the laughs and scares musically?
I've worked on Supernatural for many years through my partner Chris Lennertz, and it has many of those elements as well... sometimes it's scary, and sometimes it's funny as hell. I personally love how those styles relate to each other... when I'm scared to death, I'm always cracking jokes to ease the tension.
Much of your music is dark and epic in scope, but Wolfpack is much lighter and has a quirky groove to it. How did you approach that?
It turned out as retro-horror: when Corey and I started to come up with themes, there was this '80s 8-bit motif that we came up with that seemed to fit.
Which would you say is more challenging: underscoring comedy or horror?
I guess comedy, but horror can be challenging as well. It's great fun to be able to do both in the same project.
Has Fox talked about doing a second season yet?
Composers can be the last folks to know [laughs], so no news yet. There's been talk of lots of venues for the story developing, but nothing concrete. Gary and Steve can get anything done, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the tip of the iceberg for Wolfpack. Not to mention Chris Leone's direction on this... he's going to be one to watch, I bet.
By the way, I got a chance to listen to the soundtrack CD for Darkness II, and it's one of the biggest-sounding game scores I've heard.
Thanks... I tried to make it huge, because the story requires it. After I first read the script, I wanted the score to focus on the Jackie and Jenny story. It's a tragic love story about loss and love. Without that, the carnage of the rest of the game can become meaningless. If the music can help you buy in to the story, I've done my job.
I read that you've studied under Jerry Goldsmith, who also scored horror on a huge scale in films like Alien and The Omen. When it comes to horror and dark fantasy, what scores and/or composers inspire you most?
Jerry is the master. He really defined the horror genre, along with Bernard Herrmann (Vertigo, The Birds, Psycho). Herrmann is unbelievably good at winding themes into horror. Two contemporary names I'd also like to mention are Chris Young (Hellraiser, Drag Me to Hell) and Elliot Goldenthal (Alien 3, Interview with the Vampire). Their scores are also very unique.
2012 is obviously off to a great start for you.
Thanks... it's been a busy start.
What do you have lined up for the rest of this year?
I'm currently working on a couple of pilots that have potential. I'm also in the midst of finishing my new recording studio I built with my partner Chris Lennertz. On the other fronts, I usually have to sign documents to keep my mouth shut, so even if I had great stuff on deck I can't share!
The initial eight-episode run of Wolfpack of Reseda is nearing completion (the finale posts on April 5th) but you can stilll catch up from the beginning at the show's official MySpace page. It's fast-paced, funny and takes some odd turns that you might not expect from a werewolf story... so be sure to check it out!

In addition, the collection includes all of the letters from the remaining eleven (unpublished) volumes, with dating information (so far as this is known), but lacking the full annotation for which the printed volumes are justly famous. Scholars will therefore have immediate access to the primary texts of the complete edition even while the final editing and annotation for the greater part of it remains in progress. A total of 7,378 new letters are featured in the database. Of these, 88 are newly discovered letters belonging to the 1865-1904 period covered by the three published volumes. The remaining 7,290 letters belong to the 1905-1939 period which will be published in print and with full annotation in future volumes of the edition. Particular note should be made of the fact that the unannotated letters have not received final vetting (which will occur only as they are annotated prior to print publication) and are therefore published here in beta form. Some errors of transcription and of dating may therefore remain within this beta group of letters ...

The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery
Date: October 2009
Creator: Hey, Tony
Description: This book presents the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of data-intensive science, with the goal of influencing the worldwide scientific and computing research communities and inspiring the next generation of scientists. Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets. The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud-computing technologies. This collection of essays expands on the vision of pioneering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized.

When tub is plugged in (110 V), the pump/jets run at low speed, and heater light is steady red. When we try to increase speed, the motor makes a humming sound, and the light on the GFCI plug goes off momentarily. The pump then continues to run at low speed. The circuitboard was replaced about 2 yrs ago. We noticed some tarnish on the contacts of the power plug and cleaned that off, but that did not help. Thanks.

Ninja crashes car into Greensboro Apple Store
We kid you not -- a man described by security as wearing a white ninja suit crashed his car through the Greensboro Apple Store before fleeing on foot.
Greensboro police received a call around 4:43 a.m. after a dark gray or blue Honda crashed into the store. According to police, the man crashed into the store in a robbery attempt.
The store will remain closed today, of course, while they see to damages. (And perhaps look into hiring some samurai to increase security?)
[MyFox8. Thanks @spencefos
There are 43 comments. Add yours.
I'll bet that Steve Jobs fought him off using a force choke hold...all the way from California. Do not underestimate the power of The Force, or Steve Jobs.
And by force... you mean the reality distortion field?
Btw, TiPB has a TERRIBLE comment system. Hop on the bandwagon and use Discus or Intense Debate.
ummm.......Guy wearing a white ninja outfit crashes car into store....seems to me reality is already distorted!
discus acts up on mobile devices
LMAO!! Good one! I got my iPad 2s from that store!!
This stuff just keeps getting wackier and wackier..
Did Steve Jobs chase the ninja away with his own set of ninja stars?
Are you sure Microsoft did not plan all this?
ahahaha ninja cashes car lol
Tipb's fault... with all those ninja tips...
....ninja suit? Wtf
Why would you NOT crash a car into an Apple store wearing a ninja suit?
The windows are just too darn clean!
No doubt one of the Fandroids that post on Engadget. I've always wondered what they were like in real life. Now we know
You KNOW this was an inside job, a false flag operation to bring more attention to Monday's event.
Well.. You know what they say about asian drivers..
lol thats the same car i drive !
He missed the whole point of being a ninja, going unnoticed. Someone needs some ninja tutoring!
I would not have fled. I would have stayed on scene and calmly explained that I was a ninja in training and that I was being chased by other ninjas. If they were like, "What ninjas?". I'd respond, "Hello... they're F***ing Ninjas!"
Also, I agree with the comment about switching to intense debate. It's a much better comment system.
Now that's funny. :-)
This is bullsh*t. Ninjas don't drive Honda Accords. They drive Kias.
It's there app for that??????
(sigh/shaking my head) It figures... LOL
Why the hell not a hysterical act at an unbelievable price
(Steve Jobs puts on his Superman suit)
This is why it's hard to be a ninja in America; there a handful of evil ninjas giving us a bad name.
That is kinda uncool how one bad ninja can spoil it for all the rest of you guys :-( Hopefully our big giant melting pot of a country will see this callous act for what it is... the act of one misguided ninja, and not just all future ninjas they encounter based simply on this ninjas misbehavior. For the curious at heart, I am reasonably confident that I've typed the word "ninja" more times in this single comment than in all previous years of my life combined. Out.
Right around the corner from me & I heard it here first. Thanks TiPB.
You know he was a ninja because he did not let himself to be photographed by the apple store cameras or any other cameras close by.
Its such as you read my thoughts! You appear to know so much about this, such as you wrote the e book in it or something. I feel that you just can do with a few p.c. to force the message house a little bit, however other than that, this is great blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

Online Security Precautions
Federal financial regulators are reporting that Internet threats have changed
significantly over the past several years. Sophisticated hacking techniques and
growing organized cyber-criminal groups are increasingly targeting financial
institutions, compromising security controls, and engaging in online account takeovers
and fraudulent electronic funds transfers.
In order to help ensure the security of your
online transactions, we want you to know that:
In addition, we may require owners of commercial accounts to perform their own risk assessments and controls evaluations. For example:
Federal regulations provide consumers with some protections for electronic fund transfers. These regulations generally apply to accounts with Internet access. For example, these federal laws establish limits on a consumer's liability for unauthorized electronic fund transfers. They also provide specific steps you need to take to help resolve an error with your account. Note, however, that in order to take advantage of these protections, you must act in a timely manner. Make sure
you notify us immediately if you believe your access information has been stolen or compromised. Also, review your account activity and periodic statements and promptly report any errors or unauthorized transactions. See the Electronic Fund Transfer disclosures that were provided at account opening for more information on these types of protections. These disclosures
are also available online (or ask us and we will gladly provide you with a copy).
If you become aware of suspicious account activity, you should immediately contact us.

1FDIC Insurance and your Sweep Account: LaPorte Savings Bank participates in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program offered by the FDIC. This means that funds held in your noninterest-bearing checking account are insured in full by the FDIC through December 31, 2012. However, under a Sweep Account arrangement funds are transferred to an interest-earning account that does not qualify for full deposit insurance coverage under the FDIC Transaction Account Guarantee Program. This action voids the FDIC's guarantee with respect to the swept or transferred funds. However, funds held in an interest-earning savings account will continue to be insured through December 31, 2012, for up to $250,000 under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.

We had some terrible flooding here in Western Massachusetts from Hurricane Irene (see earlier blog post for photo's). My backyard is the Green River, a place I walk nearly every day. It has changed so much since the storm… some places hardly recognizable. Once the river went down enough and places were not so muddy that I could actually walk and not sink, I discovered some amazing beauty. There is an area were the earth is caked with clay and silt… large cracks nearly a foot deep everywhere the clay is drying. I came upon this one area where the leaves remained on top of the clay as the area around the leaves settled down with more rain a week later. I don't know if the photo's can capture the perfection of this magnificence of nature.
Last of the Fall Color
The Creative Economy
More on the arts and the economy.
There is so much natural beauty here in Western Massachusetts, and so much happening in the arts. But the biggest and most exciting happenings are right here in Greenfield! Between the recent International Brick and Mortar Video Festival, to the huge state grant recieved for a performing arts center! Greenfield Ma. is in the midst of a downtown revival, thanks in part to the many artists, and musicians that live in the valley.
I recently read an article in Preview (the valley arts magazine) about Greenfield coming back to life. In an interview with Ed Wierzbowski, artist and entrepreneur, and major player in the downtown revival, (restoring two central Main St. historic buildings). Ed talks about the ripple effects of the creative economy. He was quoted as saying for every dollar spent on the creative side, five more are spent locally. I see how that happened here with my recent pottery workshop. Money was spent at the B&B's, restaurants, local shops, and farms!
When I think about where I live, I think about the vibrancy of the arts and the beauty of this area known as Western Massachusetts. I ask myself how do I want to see this place in five years? Do I want a Wal-mart? Or do I want to walk downtown and go to a great restaurant, a concert, an art opening, or a movie? Do I want to shop at the small locally run businesses, or get on my bike to go buy apples from the local orchard, or maybe just take a walk and see the scenic views? I think the answer is pretty clear… when you live in a special place that tourists come to all year round, (especially the Leaf Peepers this time of year), you should keep that a place that people want to see, taste, and feel with all their senses!
Covered Cheese Dish… Goat Cheese Anyone?
I live in farm country, and love to make pots that can be used for the many local products that are harvested here in the valley. Recently at our Asparagus Valley Pottery Trail, the owner of Hillman Farm (goat cheese) came to my studio. She asked if I made covered cheese dishes. I said no, but I would like to. I asked her about the details on size etc. She explained that many people have goat cheese at room temperature, but that it needs to be covered. Well this gave me a new pottery challenge. So the past week or so I have been playing with ideas for these covered dishes. Here is one that I have decided to move further with.
The Quiet of White
The softness, the silence, and the absolute stillness of the new fallen snow.
What do you feel on one of those quiet nights of freshly fallen snow?
I feel such absolute peace, and presence to what is surrounding me. It is a reminder, a gift from the heavens… stopping me in my tracks.
How could it not influnce my art?
The Covered Container
As a utilitarian potter I seem to make a lot of covered containers. I really enjoy making them, yet I remember as a student they were the dreaded project. (Just as they seem to be for my current students!) They are definitely one of the more challenging forms. I remember back to my Junior Pots class at Alfred with Val Cushing; he had us focus on making those lids become one with the form underneath it, and it's his voice that I remember so often as I am fitting those lids.
Below are a few of my cremation urns drying for this weeks bisque. These urns are approximately 12″ tall. Along side these urns are my teeny, tiny covered salt cellars, about 2″ tall. These are new little forms which I'm having some fun with.
Shoes at the Fuller
The last of the three wonderful shows to report on from the Fuller Museum in Brockton, Ma. is the show about shoes. (Brockton was once the shoe capital of the world! ) "The Perfect Fit- Shoes Tell Stories" featured every sculptural way of interpreting shoes you can imagine… from hundreds of tiny origami high heels, to bronze baby shoes. The bronze baby shoes being my favorite. The piece is called Baby Opera, by Judy Haberl (check out her website). The piece was so intriguing. When you come upon the piece you first hear the sound of children's laughter, and the pitter patter of tiny foot steps. You see hundreds of bronze baby shoes, some ancient looking, most, more modern. All the shoe openings faced you at eye level, like all these tiny mouths, telling you their story. The sculpture held a special place in my heart because my Dad used to sell bronze baby shoes. As a child I will always remember the sight when my Dad came home from work, carrying a dozen or so baby shoes from his sales calls, ready to be sent to the factory to be bronzed.
Warren Mackenzie Retrospective at the Fuller Craft Musuem
Today was an exciting field trip day for the Asparagus Valley Potter's Guild. We took a two-hour bus trip to the Fuller Museum in Brockton, Ma. to see the wonderful Warren Mackenzie Retrospective. We also saw the up-lifting, and inspiring, "On the Line", an installation, by one of our own guild members, Francine Ozereko, and her husband Frank Ozereko. And last but not least, an exhibit about shoes… totally engaging! I will report on the later two in the next few days. For now, here are some Warren Mackenzie pots to inspire!
Sunday Off… Being a Leaf Peeper
Today was one of those gorgeous Sunday afternoons. We became tourists in our own county… or Leaf Peepers as we call all the tourists this time of year. We live in north-western Massachusetts, very close to the Vermont and New Hampshire border. Greenfield is in the valley, with just a five minute car ride the views are beautiful of the surrounding mountains. These photo's are taken from the lovely area of Shelburne Ma. at Apex Orchards looking northeast to Mt. Monadnock, N.H.
A Little More Fall Color
Another nice place to visit in Western Ma. is Mt. Sugarloaf in Deerfield Ma. It overlooks the Connecticut river looking south to Amherst/Hadley/Northampton. I was hoping for a sunnier day. Maybe I'll try again when the color is at its peek next week.
