Salem — Joann L. (Gibbs) Berry, 84, wife to the late William H. Berry Jr., with whom she shared 60 years of marriage, died on Friday, February 7, 2014, at the John Bertram House in Salem, after an extended series of health problems.
Born in Beverly to the late Erbert and Addie Gibbs, she was a graduate of Beverly High School, Class of 1947. After high school, she worked for the John Hancock Insurance Co. until she married Bill, and became a homemaker and a loving mother to two sons. She was an active member of the First Baptist Church, where she volunteered her time for many events and activities.
Throughout the years, she enjoyed many creative passions, including drawing, photography and painting. She loved working in her many flower gardens alongside her husband. She also spent her time reading about U.S. history and engaging in politics, campaigning for many local politicians. One of her favorite hobbies in her later years was studying her family's genealogy, going so far as to travel to libraries, cemeteries and city halls for information. Most of all, she loved being a grandmother to her three grandchildren.
Surviving her is one son, Richard G. Berry and his wife, Patricia, of Salem; three grandchildren, Joey, Emma and Danny; a brother, Donald Gibbs and his wife, Linnea, of St. Louis; a brother-in-law, Gordon Estes of Beverly Farms; and many nieces and nephews.

Iraq Bans Al-Jazeera
by Chris Bowers, Sat Aug 07, 2004 at 08:17:19 AM EDT
Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said the government convened an independent commission a month ago to monitor Al-Jazeera's daily coverage "to see what kind of violence they are advocating, inciting hatred and problems and racial tension."
Based on the commission's finding, the National Security Committee ordered the monthlong closure, Allawi said.
Iraqi Interior Minister Falah al-Naqib said the closure was intended to give the station "a chance to readjust their policy against Iraq."(...)
During a July 25 interview with Al-Jazeera in Moscow, interim Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari accused the channel of biased reporting and implied its journalists could be barred from the country.
"We do not tolerate those who exploit the freedom of the media," Zebari said then. "These channels have become channels for provocation against the interest, security and safety of the Iraqi people and the Iraqi government will not be lenient toward such behavior."Of course, since Al-Jazeera is the only Arabic-language news channel in the area where you could have a debate about whether or not it is biased, the representatives of the same Iraqi government that banned the network were willing to be interviewed on it. Obviously, Iraq is still working out that freedom of the press thing.
I guess bombing Al-Jazeera was not enough. At the same time, I wonder if there will be any repercussions for journalists who ran the bogus beheading story. Oh yeah, I don't want to incite violence or anything, but people are still dying in Iraq.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSTravelers Opt To Leave Earlier For Holiday Destinations
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Darrah Wilcox
Web Producer: Darrah Wilcox
Reported: Nov. 26, 2013 5:45 PM EST
Updated: Nov. 27, 2013 6:03 AM EST
Huntington , Cabell County , West Virginia
Whether you're headed cross-country, like Earon Rein, who's headed from Chicago, Illinois to Williamsburg, VA for Thanksgiving, or a few hours to your Thanksgiving destination, the threat of snow in the forecast was enough to have these travelers packing their bags a day early.
Kelly Preston stopped for a quick break at the Welcome Center on I-64 in Huntington during her trip from Paintsville to Covington Virginia. "Well we just decided to come out early because of the bad weather that's supposed to be coming in tomorrow, so hopefully we won't get caught in any snow or anything," she said.
Preston is taking her children, Megan and Ethan to see their dad for the holiday.
AAA estimates about 39 million people traveling by automobile this week and the heaviest travel day is most likely Wednesday, so leaving a day early has proved to have some perks.
"So far traffic's been pretty good, no accidents, so so far so good," said Rein.
Preston is glad they changed their travel plans. "We have to make the best of it when it's this kind of weather," she said.
If you do have to wait to hit the road, here's some advice from a fellow road-tripper. Rein said, "Start early and take your time."

I have never met a single person that enjoys waiting in line. Regardless of whether it is waiting to get into a hip club or waiting for the release of the latest Apple gadget, most people regard waiting in line as a waste of time. Unfortunately for us, queues are an unavoidable fact of life. Lines must exist to maintain fairness and order.
What is the significance of this to an event organizer or a company with a product popular enough to merit a queue? The waiting experience does not have to be boring to the point that people resent being there. Consumers should be valued. You cannot make the line move faster or make it disappear altogether. The best you can do is to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
The best way to keep boredom at bay and interest piqued is too see how the line is formed. Use stanchions wisely to control the crowd and maintain order. It should also add visual interest. Stanchions are either mobile or permanently attached to the ground.
The style and look should be consistent with the theme of the event or image of the company. You should make it consistent with the setting. The anticipation builds while waiting so the experience should begin as soon as guests arrive.
One way to build anticipation is to give them a preview of what is to come. You can set up a sign or any visual aid to keep your guests engaged while waiting. Photos give something people to look at and talk about instead of keeping track of how long they have been waiting in line. Any sign with words and photos is a welcome relief to break the monotony. It also gives them additional information and background about the event or product.
A more entertaining option is to install an LCD screen or projector. It is more engaging and the presentation can loop for as long as it is needed. If appropriate, you can flash advertisements to market your products or to support your event partners.
When done properly, a line is a frontline selling point with a strong branding effect. It is an opportunity for market conditioning. Most efforts tend to be focused indoors where the main event happens. Don't forget that the experience begins behind the velvet ropes.

Berea soon will become more of a hub for the county's emergency response agencies, at least temporarily.
Michael Bryant, director of Madison County's Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, on Tuesday told the Berea City Council the county's Emergency Operations Center in Richmond will be undergoing an expansion next year. Much of the center's operation will be moved from its South Keeneland Drive, Richmond location, to Berea while the expansion takes place.
"We're going to locate our offices down here," Bryant said. "We're going to have folks down here while they're renovating the EOC."
Employees of CSEPP and the county's Emergency Management Agency are preparing for their annual, federally graded exercise, which will be in Berea this year for the first time.
"That's why we have backup," Bryant said. "If we have something that's going to take out our EOC in the northern part of the county, we're going to make it down here. We're going to continue cross training our staff."
The EOC expansion is part of the preparations for destruction of chemical weapons being stored at the Blue Grass Army Depot.
"When they start (demilitarization), we're going to go 24/7," Bryant said said of EMA and CSEPP operations.
In other business:
• The council heard first reading of an ordinance that would deem a city-owned 2006 Crown Victoria as surplus property. The vehicle, formerly used by the police department, has 97,252 miles and is "no longer suitable for use by the police department," said City Administrator Randy Stone.
• The city, which recently asked its utilities customer to conserve water, is still not in the clear, according to Stone.
"We're still three-and-a-half feet down at Owsley Fork (Reservoir)," he said. "It's on the positive side, but we're still down. Our situation is better, but it doesn't keep us from making sure that our water supply in the city is in the forefront.
• The city continues to acquire right-of-way for work being done on Bratcher Lane that eventually will stretch from Scaffold Cane Road to Bryan Avenue. In December, the council adopted a resolution accepting a $1.05 million state grant for work on the road.
Improvement of Bratcher Lane has been in the works since 2003, according to Stone.
The project will include a two-lane road with sidewalk, curbs and gutters. "We have four or five more contacts to make (for rights-of-way)," Stone said.
• Four interviews soon will be conducted for the Berea Parks and Recreation Department director's position.
• Stone announced that Berea police officer Kim Puckett was promoted to captain, Sgt. LeAnne Boyle was promoted to Road Lieutenant and the department has openings for a lieutenant and a sergeant.
The next meeting of the Berea City Council is s6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5, at the Berea Police and Municipal Building.

Flames ripped through the second story of a century-old home in St. Helena on Saturday afternoon, causing major damage to the upstairs.
The owner of the home had been performing some kind of construction project when the fire broke out on Allyn Avenue around 3 p.m., said CalFire Battalion Chief John Lovie.
The homeowner received burns on his hands and feet trying to put out the blaze. Firefighters entered the home and doused the flames in short order, but the damage was done.
About 800-square-feet of living space was damaged in the blaze, Lovie said.

Tonight's Attleboro School Committee agenda states Chair Mike Tyler will make a "Superintendent Search Process Presentation." Based on Superintendent Pia Durkin's comments a few months ago to The Sun Chronicle and the item on tonight's agenda, it appears Attleboro will have a new school district head in the 2013-14 school year. In Seekonk, the district is collecting applications for the superintendent post.
With one district already searching for a superintendent and the other probably beginning the proccess soon, Patch asks, "What are you looking for in a superintendent?"

This conversation should not be necessary.
But the honor of Lee Roy Selmon is at stake, and that demands extraordinary measures.
A national publication said last week that Derrick Brooks was the greatest Tampa Bay Buccaneer of all time and mentioned off-the-field activities as one of its criteria.
To add salt to the wound, it somehow clumped Selmon in with Warren Sapp.
Silly, silly, especially if we are adding off-the-field endeavors.
Sapp didn't have off-the-field endeavors. He had antics.
But this not about good cop, bad cop.
Selmon was a gentle giant who cast a shadow of hope and inspiration that extended way beyond the Tampa Bay area.
There might be some valid reason to debate the merits of Selmon and Brooks on the field, but it's no contest off the field. And Selmon didn't have the supporting casts that helped make Brooks and Sapp excel.
The late Selmon was in a class by himself.
This is not to be disrespectful to Brooks, who has distinguished himself off the field. But he is only halfway through his life.
Selmon did not just impact the Bucs. He touched all those around him.
You never left a conversation with Selmon feeling the same as when it began.
He made you think, and did it in an unassuming way.
It's a reason he is the person most responsible for putting the University of South Florida football program on the map -- and getting it into the then-Bowl Championship Series member Big East, which was a monumental achievement.
Selmon was sadly taken from us at the age of 56 in September 2011.
They don't make 'em like Lee Roy anymore.
On the field he was a ferocious defensive end who would tear your house down, plant your quarterback into the grass and then offer a hand after the whistle had blown.
Selmon was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1976 NFL Draft and first selection in the history of the Bucs franchise.
Those Bucs were worse than awful in the beginning.
Selmon suffered through that winless season in his inaugural campaign. In '79, he won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in leading the Bucs to the NFC title game and first winning season. He sparked the team to a division title in 1981. He played nine seasons and was a six time Pro Bowler.
A statement he made at his NFL Hall of Fame induction in 1995 summed up Lee Roy Selmon: "People have said, your parents are proud of you, but I am more proud of them."
When most people were in Lee Roy Selmon's presence they felt in awe, but that was the last thing he wanted.
"I believe the true legacy of Lee Roy Selmon lies within the kind of man he was. Lee Roy possessed a combination of grace, humility and dignity that is rare," said Barry Switzer, his coach at Oklahoma. "His engaging smile and gentleness left you feeling blessed to be in his presence. Best of all, he was all genuine."
The thing about Selmon is that everything came naturally. He didn't have to work on being a nice guy or go to counseling or sit in the coach's office to learn how to be a good teammate.
He was the perfect teammate in the game of the life. You can't force yourself to love other people or find the good in others.
Selmon had a knack for finding the best in people as if he had a homing device in his heart. He planted the seed for the Bucs' second turnaround in the 1990s and eventual Super Bowl title.
He is the greatest Tampa Bay Buc of all time. There should be no debate.
Is Freeman's career over?
The New York Giants gave former Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman his freedom when they released him a few days ago.
The sad part is that Freeman might be free, but he is a prisoner of his own mind, which has not been acting very rationally since last season when the quarterback was released by the Bucs.
He went to Minnesota, where reports surfaced that Freeman was late for meetings just as he was for the Bucs.

How Technology Is Changing the Practice of Architecture Will Be Forum Subject
NJIT's College of Architecture and Design (COAD) will host a public forum on the changing status of technology in architectural practice and the emerging potential for the role of architecture in the design of the built environment. The NJ Chapter of the American Institute of Architects will sponsor the free event, open to the public, set for Oct. 28, 2009, 1:15 p.m.-7 p.m.
Noted architects and educators—many from NJIT—will discuss their work as material evidence of emerging forms of contemporary design practice, the various technologies being used, and to what end they are being applied.
COAD Dean Urs Gauchat will provide opening remarks. Other participants will include NJIT Assistant Professors Matt Burgermaster, of MABU Design; Rhett Russo, of Orange Horse, NYC, Richard Garber, of GRO Architects and Douglas Gauthier, of Gauthier Architects, NJIT Associate Professor Gabrielle Esperdy and NJIT Professor Peter Papademetriou. Garber and Burgermaster organized the event.
In recent years, contemporary architecture has been fundamentally changed by the evolution of digital technologies as a mainstream production process, sometimes as a design technique, and even as a way of thinking.
These developments have opened new relationships between previously divergent—and sometimes irreconcilable—terms of material and virtual, representation and production, process and product. Amidst these changes, emerging information and fabrication technologies have acted as a catalyst for disciplinary experimentation with complex form and, more recently, in the realignment of traditional relationships between design and construction. Similarly, they have led to explorations of new models of design integration and professional collaboration.
Fundamentally changing how architects work, these disciplinary shifts and explorations parallel substantial changes to the various environmental, social, and economic conditions within which architecture is produced and encountered. Within this evolving—and often unstable—context for practice, technology's application to design has consequently produced an increasingly complex understanding of what contemporary design itself is, its objectives and values.
The symposium will consider the interrelations between changes occurring both within and beyond architecture proper and their corollary challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities. As emerging technologies grow more ubiquitous and sophisticated, they will play an increasingly influential role in design. The conference will further examine the impact and potential of these technologies on design practices and how the discipline's application of technology to design will enable architecture as a productive agent of change within the broader conditions of the world-at-large.

Bair's Plan for the Banks
There are no mild directives in Bair's agenda for fixing the banks. She wants some tough changes and is trying to push these reforms through a non-profit group called the Systemic Risk Council, which is backed by the Pew Charitable Trusts. Here's a sampling:
And that's Bair's short list in addition to raising bank capital standards. While she's at it, she'd also revise the tax code to end subsidies for debt, speculation and breaks on investment income.
Note to Congress: There are some worthwhile ideas here, mostly because she calls attention to how the government is giving a huge kiss to Wall Street at the expense of the rest of the nation.
Alas, I doubt if President Obama would nominate Bair or the Senate would confirm her. There are still swarms of Wall Street lobbyists who will launch a fusillade of threats against newly elected senators, who will still need to raise tens of millions to get re-elected.
Citizens United — which opened the doors to untold chicanery and veiled campaign bribery — is still on the books as well. It should go long before Geithner goes, though. Then we could truly say that Americans have a chance to have a cop with integrity on the beat at Treasury.
Sheila Bair would not only be the new sheriff in town, she could help prevent a second round of what is the biggest swindle in human history. She's one of the few people in Washington who could take the bull by the horns.

The Jewish high holidays have come at an auspicious time for lawmakers wrestling with the Wall Street bailout, according to one well-known financial advisor and talk radio host.
"They are fortunate that it is Rosh Shoshana. This gives Congress an excuse to delay a very big task," said Ric Edelman.
"I hope they take these extra days to work quietly behind the scenes and do on Thursday what they should have done on Monday. If they fail to do that, then fasten your seat belt," he observed.

Objective: Quetiapine is often prescribed at higher than approved doses. We investigated the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of quetiapine > 800 mg/d.
Method: A trial was carried out from October 2003–September 2005 in 19 referral centers. Patients with DSM-IV schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were randomized on the basis of persistent symptoms of moderate severity (< 30% improvement in total Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale score after ≥ 4 weeks of quetiapine). The 8 week, double-blind study compared continuation of quetiapine 800 mg/d (n = 43) versus 1,200 mg/d (n = 88). The primary outcome measure was emergent or worsening parkinsonism (Simpson-Angus Scale). Secondary outcomes were adverse events, metabolic side effects, and symptom severity.
Results: Mean doses obtained were 799 mg/d and 1,144 mg/d in the 800-mg/d and > 800-mg/d groups, respectively. Emergent or deteriorating parkinsonism in the high-dose group was 3.1% greater (95% CI, −7.8% to 14.0%; P = .76) than in the 800-mg/d group, a value that was within the a priori limit of 16% defined as noninferiority. Both doses of quetiapine were safe and well tolerated. Weight gain was greater in the high-dose group (1.7 kg over 12 weeks; ≥ 7% body weight, n = 11 [12.5%]) versus the 800-mg/d group (1.1 kg over 12 weeks; ≥ 7% body weight, n = 4 [9.3%]). The mean adjusted difference in weight gain (1.3 kg) was greater in the high-dose group (95% CI, 0.0–2.5; P = .044). Symptom severity declined, with no significant difference between groups.
Conclusions: The results did not demonstrate any advantage for use of quetiapine outside the approved dose range.

Oakley's George Hincapie Wins U.S. Pro Road Race
Oakley's George Hincapie (Columbia-HTC) takes his third stars and stripes at the 2009 Cycling pro road championships.
George Hincapie (Columbia-HTC) rode through a wall of sound as he outsprinted Andrew Bajadali (Kelly Benefit Strategies) to win the road race Sunday at the USA Cycling Professional National Championships in his adopted hometown of Greenville, South Carolina.
The pair overtook Jeff Louder (BMC Racing Team), who attacked an elite group of seven riders in the final lap of the 185km race, which featured four trips over Paris Mountain.
Hincapie secured his third professional road race title and his second since the race moved to Greenville in 2006. <http://www.velonews.com/article/10812> His first came in 1998, when the event was called the First Union USPRO Championship and run in Philadelphia.
Ice, please
Riders hid in team cars and hotel rooms as long as possible Sunday afternoon before the race rolled off at 1 p.m. under the high sun, with temperatures in the mid-80s and relative humidity above 90 percent. The majority of riders arrived at sign-in with the telltale hunchbacks of ice packs in their jerseys as the press corps fought for shade.
The course covered three inner circuits before riders faced the 3.5km climb of Paris Mountain, tackled four times on longer loops. The race returned to the inner circuits for three laps before the finish on Main Street in downtown Greenville.
The first half of the race followed the script of recent championship road races, with disorganization at the front of the peloton and no real boss emerging in the group.
"There was a lot of soft pedaling and coasting going on," Louder said. "Breakaways that looked really promising but didn't really amount to anything. Other stuff that didn't look that promising ended up being pretty dangerous. So, it was kind of a pretty typical national championship."
The most promising chase group was 14 riders strong and included Zabriskie's teammate Mike Friedman; Jonathan Garcia and Jackson Stewart (BMC Racing Team), Tom Zirbel, Sheldon Deeny and Paul Mach (Bissell); Scott Zwizanski (Kelly Benefit Strategies); Chris Jones (Team Type 1); Matt Crane (Jelly Belly); and Ben King (Trek-LiveStrong). Friedman crashed near the beginning of the second lap of the long circuit, but was able to reconnect with the group before the base of Paris Mountain.
The chasing peloton, led largely by OUCH-Maxxis, trimmed Zabriskie's lead quickly on the second trip up Paris Mountain. The peloton absorbed the chase group just after the descent, and Zabriskie, along with Crane and King, who had bridged on the descent, hung on as the last to be caught by the charging peloton, composed of roughly 45 riders near the end of the second long circuit.
In his first race as a staigaire, Alex Howes (Garmin-Slipstream) delivered a load of water bottles to his teammates in time to counter-attack the catch. He joined Jones and Frank Pipp (Bissell) to form a three-rider break. The group rotated smoothly and, forming so late in the race, posed a serious threat.
Craig Lewis (Columbia-HTC), who told Hincapie he planned to start despite being diagnosed with the H1N1 virus early last week, went to the front of the peloton on the third trip up Paris Mountain and set a pace that reduced the group to fewer than 20 riders. Hincapie let one attack fly high on the climb to draw out the strong riders and take the freshness out of the group.
Meanwhile, the breakaway continued to roll, entering the final long circuit with a two-minute lead. The group would disintegrate on the final climb of Paris Mountain, however, as Howes and Pipp fell off Jones' pace.
Lewis, who like Hincapie lives in Greenville, returned to the front of the peloton on the final lap over Paris Mountain and again set a pace for the initial 1.5 km that strung the group out. When Phil Zajicek (Fly V Australia) attacked, the group blew apart.
As the leaders were caught one by one, Hincapie followed and then countered Zajicek's attack, springing free with one other rider near the summit. The Hincapie group went over the top with roughly a five-second gap over the chase, but a group of eight came together on the descent to Greenville.
Included in the front group were Jones, Zajicek, Bajadali and teammate Matt Busche, Louder and teammate Brent Bookwalter, and Patrick McCarty (OUCH-Maxxis). Notably missing from the lead group were Garmin-Slipstream and Bissell Pro Cycling.
"They were trying as hard as they could to be there, but they just weren't on a great day and to make that selection at the national championships, you have to be on a great day," Garmin-Slipstream director Chann McRae said.
Jason Donald and Danny Pate (Garmin-Slipstream) and Jason McCartney (Saxo Bank) drove the new chase group, which entered the final three 6.7-mile circuits 20 seconds behind the leaders. McCartney and the Garmin tandem were the only riders in the group without teammates up the road and the work of closing the gap, which they cut to 10 seconds on the first short lap, fell to them.
"We were gaining on them. We were rolling through pretty well, and then we got them to 10 seconds on that first small lap and then it just went back out again because we were pretty (worked)," Donald said.
As the leaders entered the final lap with a 40-second lead, Louder attacked, hoping to avoid going to the line with a fast finisher like Hincapie.
"I knew that it was obvious that George was the fastest guy and the strongest, the way he rode Paris Mountain and was still there and looking really good," Louder said. "If he was still there and we did go over the line as a group, it wasn't what we wanted."
Louder pushed out to a 10-second lead with 3km to go and appeared to be rolling away with the race on the undulating final circuit. With the remnants of the lead group apparently on the limit, Hincapie attacked with 1km remaining and Bajadali struggled to stay on the former Tour de France maillot jaune's wheel. The pair bridged to Louder with 500m to go.
Bajadali jumped first in the sprint, initially distancing Hincapie and a fading Louder. Hincapie dug into his reserves, however, and the 15-year professional came around Bajadali 200 meters from the finish to win to the deafening cheers from thousands of fans.
Hincapie, who broke his collarbone five weeks ago in a crash at the Tour de France, was emotional at the finish and later described winning before his hometown crowd.
"To be able to win with all that pressure and to have the whole city wanting me to win is great," he said. "Before it's not such a good feeling because you're stressing out about the race, but I'm really glad it worked out."
Race note
• Hincapie will wear the stars-and-stripes jersey at the Tour of Missouri, which begins September 7 in St. Louis. September 1 is the first day that teams can discuss new acquisitions for the coming season. So it will be at least Tuesday before it's clear which sponsor's name will adorn the U.S. champion's jersey for the 2010 season.

Interested in a Watchers of Anarchy shirt? Well, here is your chance to get your hands on one while supplies last. The shirts are Hanes Tagless T-Shirts which look great. These shirts were printed through OOShirts and I highly recommend them if you are looking to get shirts of your own printed up.
Like I said though, while supplies last, we have a limited number of shirts left. Actually we have 1- XL Shirt left. See, I told you it was a limited supply. If you are interested in one then now is the time to get one.
How much are they you ask? Well the shirts are going to be $20 and that includes shipping. If you are not in the US then hit that little email icon on the right hand side of your screen and send us an email since international mail does cost quite a bit more than national so we will need to figure out if there is an extra cost for shipping to you. If you are in the US though, you are good to go at $20.
On the left we have the basic proof of the shirt, the front has W.o.A… a Sons of Anarchy Fan Podcast watchersofanarchy.com and on the back the WoA logo with a Podcast top rocker and Watchers of Anarchy bottom rocker. On the right is your fearless podcast host Brad sporting his shirt right before the local police made him stand against the wall.

Hi there, I have been a member of this site for a few months, lurking and writing down recipes, but I feel the time has come for me to take the bull by the horns as it were and start a diary
First, a bit about me........
I'm 37, been big all my life, it feels like I've always been on a diet of some description. I was at my largest when I dislocated my knee and couldn't walk, and I topped the scales at 32 stone!!!
I have lost weight and put it back on so many times, so when it got to July 2008 and I weighed 28 stones 1.5 lb, I decided enough was enough and I joined SW.
I started well, and lost 2stone 6lbs in 8 months, but with illness and one thing and another in my personal life, I have nearly put it all back on again.
I am just now trying to get my head back into the plan and really need inspiration and discipline. Therefore, I thought writing this diary would be one way for me to keep track of how I feel, what I can do differently and general keep myself on track!!
So, I have started again, as it were, and from my start weight, I have lost 9lbs. Therefore, I need to get my "behind" into gear and try and get myself back to where I was this time last year.
This week, my challenge is to try and cook more. I have been becoming a bit bored of the same old things, and because I was bored of my main meals, I was filling up in between with junk!!
Monday - weigh in day - despite having a raging chest infection last week and using all my syns and then some on cough medicine and cough sweets, lost half a lb tonight, so very happy with that!
Tuesday - made SW quiche, with chinese stirfry veg, eggs and cottage cheese, had it last night for tea with jp and beans, and just had it now for lunch with the same. Started writing food diary at SW website, had 11.5 syns today! Goody!!
Wednesday - just got Chickpea Dahl loaf out of the oven. This is going to be my tea tonight, possibly with rice or SW chips.
Luckily, I suppose, I have also just become interested in exercise. Believe me, I was never an exercise person, I would do anything to get out of walking more than a few hundred yards, even if it meant catching a bus one stop!!
But, I have just moved house; my old house was literally 4 minutes from the bus stop so I used to just get home, plonk on the sofa and not move till I went to bed. Now, my new house is 15 minutes walk away from the bus stop, so I have to do some exercise before I get home every day, which is good!! I didn't think I would do it, but I have been pushing myself and have got into a routine now, and I can tell when I don't do it now.
I am also topping this up with half an hour sessions on my Wii every other day and 1 hours swimming a week. I also do quite a bit of walking at work everyday as well. (reminder to self - remember your pedometer!!)
Obviously, being as big as I am, I am very VERY self concious at the moment, so going to a gym or anything like that is out until I have lost a decent amount.
My ticker target below is to get to 20 stones. I do want to weigh less than this, but I think that this is a massive target to achieve to start with anyway, so one step at a time. Just getting my club 10 would be a start!!
So, just hope I remember to keep this up to date and hope you all don't mind me rambling away!!

Many programs listed here are great, however, the list is somewhat outdated. There are various that no longer exists or supported. For example, Comodo doesn't seem to support Time Machine anymore. Each time I try to download it brings me back to their main page. Registrytweaker domain is closed and up for sale.
by kell (not verified) on 10. May 2012 - 12:32 (93303)
And by the way. THANK YOU for the list. Lots of my software is over 2 years old, some much older than that.I don't get all the hate for older software but then, I'm older myself.
by kell (not verified) on 10. May 2012 - 12:29 (93302)
Here: http://comodo-time-machine.en.softonic.com/
by Deputy (not verified) on 13. May 2012 - 22:01 (93427)
the correct link for the latest free version of Comodo Time Machine direct from Comodo is:
But that's the same link I referred to in my earlier posts. There is no 'latest free version' there. Nor anywhere on the Comodo website: that link merely takes you to a blind download which opens Comodo's home page and does nothing else.
My friend did follow a link kindly provided on here by kell to the softonic site but after downloading Comodo Time Machine from there ran it through Malwarebytes which reported a PUP (a toolbar) in the Softonic download. He wasn't happy with that so had Malwarebytes delete the downloaded file in its entirety.
All of which would suggest that the TechRadar report is some way past its use-by date. In still promoting the non-existent Comodo Time Machine it seems never to have been revised since July 2010 -- almost two years ago.
Sorry, TSA, but that's hardly an up-to-date list on any reckoning.
I have gone through the list myself, and only a few products in the list are not available presently. But most of the products mentioned in the list are still there. And that is the prime reason why the author decided to post this link, despite the article being 2 years old.. simply because 100 system tools were listed at one place.
Now, just because Comodo Time Machine isn't available today, or a few other products... that is not good enough reason to repeatedly bash the article, and the editor, and the site.
I bet most of the people did not know until this list, that Comodo Time Machine is not available nowadays. Is it the fault of the author? You should ask Comodo why isn't the product available for download, when its page still exists.
So, please stop repeating the same bashing statement, and kindly overlook the small shortcomings, and just appreciate the efforts of a man who week after week brings you great tips on computer.
And if you still don't like the article, and cannot appreciate the efforts made, please just move on.

I have tried this piece of software at least twice on both Windows XP and Windows 7 (always 64bit versions). And everytime the machine will end up crashing. The longest any machine has lasted with it installed is a whole week and I still had to use a image to restore the machine.
Lucky I image once a month and backup files too. Although I have had an image fail before.
That aside, the concept of the time machine is great let me know if you come across any free software capable of making it work. I have some paid software that works well enough for me, but I am always interested.
Thanks for that. Though if Comodo has dropped this software -- I wonder why? -- it's remiss of Tech Radar, whose 'updated' list is linked to in this techsupportalert article, to feature that particular app so early and so prominently: Tech Radar is, in essence, recommending people to use a specific app as a sensible safety-net for test installs yet the recommendation is meaningless because the app doesn't exist.
by Dew Yodor (not verified) on 9. May 2012 - 20:05 (93272)
I agree 100% with Chilli above, this list is 2 years old, and one helluva lot has changed in the software world in 2 years. Some links don't even work etc.
Come on Gizmo guys, get with the times and recommend current stuff .. :-)

The goal of all our editors is to present information we believe to be of interest to our majority audience. In as far as we can, everything listed here is tested for it's suitability to meet this objective. Quite obviously, where large lists are concerned this is not possible but anything needing clarification as the result of feedback will be so noted in the articles concerned. It is also worth bearing in mind that not everything "new" or "most recent" is necessarily better than an older version or a product that ceased development some time ago. This applies to some Linux stuff as well so is not just restricted to Windows. Please also appreciate that not all editors are able to monitor their pages 24/7. Although our mods do their best with the comments arriving, if readers believe something needs urgent attention, the best way to communicate this is to myself or one of the other mods using our PM system. This way it will be dealt with almost immediately, time zones permitting.

Downloaded Stardock three times (as recomended by setup program) and each time I tried to run the setup file I got the msg. that the file was corrupted and to download again.
That's a dud in the list. I never did like having to download from CNet anyway.
My concern is the article you point to is from July 25th 2010.
Sure some of these tools are updated regularly etc. But tools like this change in a couple of years. Just might be wise to check how old a tool is and what exactly it is doing before you use it. New server packs etc for windows come out all the time etc. Just saying.
Well done on emphasising the importance of a good rollback facility: Comodo Time Machine is indeed a nicely thought-out app. I've just flagged up this article -- and CTM -- to a friend, but he's emailed me back to say he can't actually, er, find CTM.
I dunno. Some people. Except. . . I can't find it either. Has Comodo dropped it? Every time I click on 'download' for this app at Comodo's website, all that happens is I'm taken straight to Comodo's home page. Where there's no mention of CTM at all.
Just wondered if I'm having a dumbo moment or if, in compiling / updating this latest list, techsupportalert actually tried to DL Comodo Time Machine??
* Just to add: this link to Comodo's 'free products' page contains no mention of Comodo Time Machine:
so although techsupportalert's recommendation of it as a 'must have'is understandable, a helluva lot of folks are going to be mightily frustrated if it's currently unavailable.
Softpaedia has a Beta version from January 2011. . . although I'm always wary of recommending any Beta version of any software to a computer novice like my friend, does it now seem that this is the only CTM option left??????

Apologies...that link redirects if you try to d/load. Looks like they abandoned it. It wasn't without issues if I remember correctly anyway.
That's the link I was referring to in my original post.
But there's still NO clarification on here as to what the situation actually is.
Come on, Techsupportalert. It's counter-productive in the extreme to circularise this luvvly website's fervent admirers with emaiols which subsequently link to the publicising in a 'current', 'updated' reference resource that which clearly hasn't been checked to see if it is indeed still current.
If Comodo Time Machine no longer exists, then what else doesn't exist in this supposedly up-to-the-minute 100 best listing????????

Farewell to Lauren
For the second time in the last eight months, we say goodbye to a Fox Sports Detroit Girl. While Allison departed last December, and now Lauren is leaving to pursue other endeavors. Apparently she wants to focus on modelling, and will still be living in the Detroit area. Here at M.I.B. we want to thank Lauren for representing the Detroit sport teams with dignity and class. She will be difficult to replace, but Fox Sports Net is having a contest to pick the next FSD Girl. It's too bad we never got to meet Lauren, but we were lucky enough to meet Stephanie and Brittney back in February. Good luck to Lauren in the next step of her career. Here's her 'goodbye' video on YouTube:

April in the 'D' 2013
It's that time of year again, when sports fans relish the opportunity to watch multiple events all through the month of April. For Tigers fans, and fans of all the Detroit sports, it's a special time also. With the Tigers season just beginning, the Red Wings vying for yet another play off run, and the Pistons, well, I'm not sure what they've been doing, but I'll root for them anyway. Helping spread the joy of Detroit sports are the lovely Fox Sports Detroit Girls. This year Lauren is joined by newcomers Stephanie and Brittney, who are doing a great job representing our sports teams. This is April in the 'D', and it's a great time for me to watch baseball and hockey. I'm hoping the Tigers get on track, and start playing like a premiere team, but I'm grateful just to be watching baseball at this point.

Valentine Surprise
Fox Sports picked the perfect day, Valentine's Day, for their secret revelation. It was announced yesterday that joining the lovely Lauren as members of the Fox Sports Detroit Girls are Stephanie and Brittney. Lauren has been on her own representing Detroit's sports teams since Allison moved on to Hollywood the first of the year. I was actually surprised to see that two girls were chosen, but I guess some of the other sports regions have three girls as representation. Both are from the Detroit area and graduates of Michigan State University, both should do a great job as spokeswomen for our sports teams. The 'April in the D' promotion on the Fox Sports Detroit nework is just around the corner, too, and last season they brought in Megan for just that month. The kids and I are attending a Grand Rapids Griffins game next weekend that Lauren is scheduled to attend, so we're hoping that Stephanie and Brittney will be there, too. I find Steph particularly cute, personally…Happy Valentine's Day!

Farewell to Allison
Yesterday was Allison's last official day as a Fox Sports Detroit Girl. She's out in California now, and no doubt she will be successful in everything she does. We here a M.I.B. wanted to say 'thank you', and wish her all the best. She and Lauren have done a great job representing Detroit sports and the state of Michigan. Allison was also one of the few Fox Sport girls chosen to attend last year's MLB All-Star Game in Kansas City. She's already had an un-credited cameo in Iron Man 2, and rumor mill has it she's dating Captain America himself, Chris Evans. As a Marvel fan when I was a kid, I think this is pretty awesome. I believe that she had a hand in choosing her successor, though her and Lauren set some pretty high standards. All the best, Allison!

What I'll be missing
Well, I miss baseball already. I miss the sun shining, and the smell of the grass and goodies as I walk into the ballpark. I miss spending time with the kids at the fields, playing catch, and watching them run the bases. And with the Tigers season in the rear-view mirror, and the NHL locked out, I'll also be missing Lauren and Allison-The Fox Sports Detroit Girls. As the bad news just keeps pouring in, I not only learned this morning that RSBS has boarded up their windows for good, but now Allison has announced that she will be leaving Detroit, and making a name for herself in L.A. She'll be missed, and it's too bad the kids and I couldn't catch up with her and Lauren at a game this summer. With luck, maybe we'll have a chance before she leaves after December. Best of luck, Allison, and we look forward from seeing more of Lauren! Here's the link to Allison's 'goodbye' video:

Fox Sports Detroit Girls get Muddy
Fifth-Third Field-Toledo, OH: Last Saturday the Fox Sports Detroit Girls blessed Fifth-Third Field in Toledo with their presence (not to be confused with Fifth-Third Field in Dayton, Fifth-Third Ballpark by Grand Rapids, or Fifth-Third Bank Ballpark in Kane Country….my god…). The Girls were on hand to help root on the Detroit Tigers Triple-A affiliate and help support the military, who was being honored all week by the Mud Hens. It's a pretty fair drive from the Canadian border straight down to Toledo, but if I would have known that the Girls were going to be there, we would have tried to make plans! My window of opportunity for the kids and I too meet them is running out quickly, with the Minor League regular season ending in less than a week. My only hope now is for the baseball Gods to smile upon me, with Lauren and Allison magically appearing at the West Michigan Whitecaps game this Sunday…our last outing of the 2012 campaign. My only other chance for removing the Fox Sports Detroit Girls from my baseball bucket list is if they make it to a Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL hockey) game this winter. The Girls were a lucky charm, too, as the Mud Hens beat the Louiville Bats 5-1.

Your Vote Counts!!!!
The MLB All-Star Game voting is all but over, but your vote can still count if you want to send three of the best Fox Sports Girls to the All-Star Game, also. My votes, big surprise, will be going toward the Fox Sports Detroit Girls, Lauren and Allison. I've stated in other post how well they interact with their fans, both live and online via the social networking. They would not only represent the Detroit and Michigan areas, but all of the Fox Sports Broadcasting with class and prestige.

Missed Opportunities
Twice within the last few weeks, Fifth-Thrid Ballpark in Comstock Park, home of the West Michigan Whitecaps, has been graced with the presence of the Fox Sports Detroit Girls-Lauren and Allison. Unfortunately, I've been unable to make the trek south to attend either of these games. The first visit was on May 25, just days after we were there ourselves. Just getting back from vacation, there was just no way to get the time off work again, or come up with the funds for another trip. With this first opportunity missed, I was confident that the girls might make another stop in Grand Rapids. Return they did, on June 7. This time, with just one day notice of their appearance, and the fact that I'm coaching two Little League teams, we were again unable to make to the Whitecaps game! Two opportunities missed, but I'm confident that maybe we can catch up with them sometime this summer, or even this winter at a hockey game. Lauren and Allison are scheduled to appear in Midland on my birthday weekend next month, when the Great Lakes Loons host the Lansing LugNuts, so if anyone is looking for a present for me, I have a great suggestion!
Lauren and Allison are great ambassadors for sports here in Michigan. They are active on Twitter and Facebook, and often reply and interact with the fans whenever they can. From all that I've read from other fans who've met them, it was a very positive experience. Trevor follows the girls on Facebook also (big surprise), and Lily looks up to them as role models. It's nice that they've stepped into my little world of Minor League Baseball, and I'm hoping I won't miss the next opportunity.

Canada needs to improve end-of-life care, study shows
Better psychological and spiritual support, improved planning of care and stronger relationships with physicians are necessary to improve end-of-life care in Canada, according to a study by a Queen's University professor.
"High quality end-of-life care should be the right of every Canadian," says Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology Dr. Daren Heyland, who is also a researcher at Kingston General Hospital. "But it's not always happening. We know from international studies that Canada ranks ninth in the world in terms of quality of care provided at the end of life."
The study, a questionnaire that aimed to measure satisfaction with end-of-life care for patients with advanced diseases and their families, involved 363 patients over 55 years of age and 193 family caregivers.
While overall satisfaction for end-of-life care was rated as good, ratings for complete satisfaction ranged from nine per cent to a high of only 57 per cent, suggesting the need for improvement.
The highest priorities were improving the emotional support for patients, better communication and involvement in decisions and improving the relationship between the patient, family and doctor.
Patients were least satisfied with their understanding of what to expect in the end stage, discussions with their physician regarding final location of care, and the use of technology at the end of life.
The study is published in the current issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

A big mountain quiver of one, the Odin is the result of a close collaboration between legendary rider Johan Olofsson and Venture's founder and design engineer, Klemens Branner. Dubbed Odin after the Norse god of war and wisdom, this deck is a nod to its creators' Viking roots and embodies core concepts of Scandinavian design like simplicity of form and function. Tailored to Olofsson's riding style and preffered terrain, the Odin is the ideal choice for hard charging freeriders who like to pull out all the stops. Moderate sidecut delivers wide arching turns, quadratics bring plenty of grip, and a perfect combination of rocker and stance offset maximize float. Named a Backcountry Magazine Editors' Choice in 2012, and Men's Journal approved in 2013. Unleash the power of the Odin in the gnarliest conditions and watch it dominate.
Also available as a SPLITBOARD.
Base graphics for the Odin are a random combination of black, blue and grey.

Dr. Phyllis H. PierceDecember 05,2012Dr. Phyllis H. Pierce
Dr. Phyllis H. Pierce, 65, of Rutland, Vt., died peacefully at home on November 27, 2012, from a long courageous battle with a neurological illness.
She was born in Chicago, Ill., on July 10, 1947. Phyllis was the daughter of Albert and Naomi Harward. She was predeceased by her brother, Alfred Harward.
Phyllis received her bachelors degree from Arizona State University in 1969. She then earned her masters and doctorate degrees from Florida State University in 1976. She had been a licensed clinical psychologist in Vermont from then until her retirement in 2004. Phyllis met and married Roger C. Pierce while both were in graduate school at Florida State University. They married in Ocala, Fla., November 24, 1972.
She and Roger moved to Washington, D.C., where she completed her doctoral degree in clinical psychology. Phyllis and Roger then moved to East Wallingford, Vt., in 1975. She was employed by Rutland Mental Health as a clinical psychologist for seven years. During part of this time, she was an adjunct instructor at The College of St. Joseph. In 1982, Phyllis and her husband started a private practice providing individual, couple and group psychotherapy. They practiced under the name Pathways of Rutland. For the first 10 years of practice, treatment was provided to Vietnam veterans through a contract with the Veterans Administration. During part of this time, she also served on the board of directors of the Rutland County Womens Network and Shelter. She was listed in Whos Who of American Women. She was a founding member and past president of PsychCare Network.
Phyllis first dated her husband on his motorcycle and her love of riding with him continued throughout her life. She was a member of the BMW Motorcycle Owners of Vermont since 1998. Phyllis toured much of the United States behind her husband. This was a love she shared with him. She had a strong belief in sustainability and was an organic vegetable and flower gardener all her life. Phyllis enjoyed conga drumming until her health no longer let her participate in this hobby. With her husband, she cleared land and designed and built an energy efficient home. This was part of the Rocks and Trees Cooperative in Middletown Springs, Vt. Phyllis also served as president of Rocks and Trees for several years.
She is survived by her husband, Roger Pierce of Rutland, Vt.; her sister, Paulina Harward Stout of Lexington, Mass.; her nephew, Eric Stout of Lexington, Mass.; her grandniece, Shohini Stout, also of Lexington; and her niece, Alison Stout of Seattle, Wash.; and numerous cousins, nephews and nieces. She also leaves behind Vicki Saulsbury and Megan Muier who provided loving care to the end.
Instead of flowers, contributions may be made to the West Rutland Community Cupboard. A memorial service celebrating Phyllis life will be held at the Tinmouth Community Church on December 8, 2012 at 2 p.m.MORE IN ObituariesMarie Hagenow Full StoryRoy W. Thompson Full StoryEleanor L.

What Can I Do With a Major in... Economics
Economics is the study of how societies allocate limited resources to achieve competing ends. Using both empirical and deductive methods, economics analyzes incentives, constraints, organizational forms, and market forces to understand patterns of production, exchange, and consumption of goods and services. The B.A., B.S. and B.B.A. Economics programs provide an excellent educational background for a variety of positions in business and government. Graduates find employment in banking, financial institutions, industrial firms, and trade organizations and in federal, state, and local government agencies dealing with economic policy, regulation, and analysis. Economics also provides excellent preparation for the study of law and for graduate study in fields such as business management, public administration, hospital and health administration, urban and regional planning, transportation, journalism, political science, and statistics.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri (BBBS) launched a brand new campaign aiming to recruit 600 new volunteers in six months. "Be There Now" is calling on all of the organization's dedicated supporters to help to generate awareness among their friends and colleagues or become Big Brothers or Big Sisters themselves.
With more than 1,000 children waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister, there's never been a better time than now to get involved. The impact of having a mentor is incredibly powerful, yet the requirements to become one are easier than you might think:
- You must be 18 or older
- You must have reliable transportation and car insurance
- You must be willing to spend 4 to 6 hours a month with your Little for a year or more.
The Littles—the children who need a mentor—merely seek quality time with their Bigs, and activities can range anywhere from playing catch at the park to going to the movies together.
BBBS recognizes that most of these children come from single parent families, and would love nothing more than an extra role model in their life—more importantly, a trusted friend. Serving children all over the St. Louis Metropolitan area, St. Louis County, Cape Girardeau and St. Charles, BBBS is calling on our communities to provide that extra support and encouragement that these children are asking for, and the time for action is now!
Seeking partnerships with both individuals and companies, BBBS of Eastern Missouri has made sure that potential partners have everything they need to get the word out, including posters, videos, talking points and more in their toolkit.
For more information on how to become a Big Brother or Big Sister, or to get your company or organization involved, call Vivian Gibson or Jeremy Lieb at 314-361-5900 today! Also, be sure to visit Big Brothers Big Sisters on the web at www.bbbsemo.org.

Sedgefield gets set for Shrove Tuesday Ball Game
Updated 3:11pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News By Lizzie Anderson
ONE of the oldest and most surreal sporting events will take place in a County Durham town next week.
For almost 1,000 years, hundreds of enthusiastic competitors have battled for victory in the annual Shrove Tuesday Ball Game in Sedgefield.
The game, which takes place on Tuesday, February 12, sees players compete for possession of a small leather ball and often lasts for hours.
There are very few rules, but many conventions, including a free drink for the first player to take the ball into any one of the local pubs.
Last year, 80-year-old villager Vera Iceton had the honour of starting the game by passing the ball through the bull ring on the village green three times.
Mrs Iceton was chosen because each of her three sons have won the game in the past.
Victory, meanwhile, went to Martin Lower- a 35-year-old delivery driver.
The game is thought date back to 1256 when the stonemason who completed St Edmund's Church challenged the countrymen to a celebratory game of football.
Nowadays, it is organised in some secrecy, which is rumoured to be a way of avoiding liability for damages.

---- — LAWRENCE — The numbers, 9 of 11 for 134 yards and two TD passes, plus a running touchdown in Lawrence High's 28-0 Thanksgiving Eve shutout of Salem, dictate that senior Louis Rosa breezed through the final football exam.
If you spent a minute watching the Lancer football season unfold, you'd understand why the kid aced every single week — not on the field but in the hearts and souls of every single one of his teammates.
"Look at Luis, the season he's gone through and he's out there, doing what he's doing, that's pretty amazing," said fellow Lancer senior D.J. Gonzalez. "Two TD passes in a win on Senior night. That incredible for him."
Rosa opened the season as the starting QB but found himself pushed for the job when sophomore Nelson Valerio transferred into Lawrence from Milwaukee.
"That job was mine until I got hurt in the North Andover game," said Rosa, who stands just 5-foot-6 and weighs 160 pounds. "'Milwaukee' came in and stepped up. He was excellent, and that was that. He took over. "Losing the job was tough, and I really didn't know how to deal with it."
To his credit, Valerio is no slouch. In fact, with an 11 of 18, 149-yard night, he is now the all-time Lawrence, single-season passing yardage leader, finishing at 2,055 yards in the 3-8 campaign.
Still, watching football in his senior season pushed Rosa's patience over and over again.
"He's my friend and teammate," said Rosa, a 3.5 student with a 1,500 on the three-pronged SAT. "I tried to help him as much as I could. And I'm really proud of what he's accomplished."
Last night in the victory over winless (0-11) Salem, the Lancer coaching staff was torn. Sure, they felt they owed Rosa a start. But Valerio was chasing the 2,000-yard passing mark, and sitting him would be unfair. So they compromised. "The coaches told me I would start, and how I played would determine how long I played," said Rosa, noting that was a bit of pressure. "Of course, there was pressure, but after what I'd been through this season, the pressure was nothing."
Rosa hit wideouts Franger Baez and George Urena for long TDs. The bookend receivers each dominated with eight catches. Baez piled up 135 receiving yards and Urena 97.
Urena, with 54 catches on the year, surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving mark.
After a season of special teams struggles with blocked kicks and bad snaps, Lawrence got a perfect 4 for 4 in PATs by junior Xavier Santiago, who also managed a handsome 36 yards a punt on the night.
"X was on fire," said Rosa. "His leg was hot."
Guys like Jaddiel Polanco, Israel Santiago, Chris Pena and Nathaniel Cruz flew to the football for the Lawrence defense, but first-year Blue Devils coach Adam Gagne understood where this one was lost.
"They're very good. They're athletic and they're very big and tough up front," said Gagne. "They took a kid like Jason Martinez (11 carries, 14 yards) away from us, and he's such a huge part of our offense."
The Blue Devils had chances, but only got inside the Lancer 20 once all night and were halted at the 2 on fourth-down when Cruz lowered the boom on a vicious sack. Gagne was clearly disappointed with the result and the winless season, but he's certain that Salem will be back.
"I haven't really thought about it that much, but there have definitely been some positives this year," added Gagne. "These seniors you saw out there tonight worked as hard as can be. I wish I could have them all for four more years."
While an interesting game, in which Gagne is absolutely enamored with playing, there is some uncertainty as we head into the future. The new Massachusetts schedule and playoff proposal has plaved this game into a state of flux.
"The game has everything," said Gagne. "It kicks off the Thanksgiving season. It's Mass. vs. New Hampshire. It's Lawrence-Salem. You couldn't ask for much more."

Tonawanda News — I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination, a royal-watcher.
I remember being 7 years old, pulled in front of the television by my mom (also not generally a royal-watcher) to watch a few snippets of the Great Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana, with the admonishment that this was unique. This was history, of a sort, being made. I wasn't a very princessy sort of little girl, but I remembered it anyway.
I remember the night years later, fresh out of college and on the hunt for my first journalism job, when Diana died. I watched the coverage with Mom, like I had 16 years before. It seemed like the end of an era, even in rural Western New York.
I don't know why. Maybe it's that so many of us grow up reading (and watching, thanks to Disney) fairy tales, where it's all happily ever after and true love winning the day. Princes don't leave. And princesses don't die. But we watched and we shook our heads, spared a few thoughts for her sons and carried on. This was the real world, after all.
In 2011, I didn't pay much attention when Prince William and Kate Middleton were married. I had a family of my own, bills, a job, too many other stressors and concerns to think for more than a few moments about people in a different country who have more money and power than I'll ever see, simply due to an accident of birth. I think maybe I saw a few photos. Pretty dress. Good luck to them.
When the first news crossed my computer screen earlier this week, though, it hit some sort of a chord, and I've found it occupying a corner of my thoughts ever since.
