Ex-Tulsa basketball coach dies
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Former Tulsa basketball coach Clarence
Iba, who took the Golden Hurricane to the NCAA Tournament in 1955
and won more games than any other Tulsa coach in his 11 seasons,
has died. He was 88.
Iba died Monday night following surgery for an aneurysm at
a hospital in Fort Worth, his daughter-in-law Priscilla Iba said
Iba moved to Fort Worth in 1960 and worked as a marketing executive
for Anchor Metals until he retired 18 years ago.
He was the younger brother of longtime Oklahoma State coach
Henry Iba. His early coaching jobs included OSU freshmen, Panhandle
A&M and Cushing and Muskogee high schools.
Tulsa had one of the nation's weakest programs before Iba arrived
in 1949. The Golden Hurricane won a share of the Missouri Valley
Conference championship six years later. Iba won 137 games, a
Tulsa record for basketball coaches.
He was inducted into both the University of Tulsa Athletic
Hall of Fame and the state of Missouri Basketball Hall of Fame.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at the First Presbyterian
Church in Fort Worth.
Survivors include his widow, Dorothy; two sons, Gene Iba of
Pittsburg, Kan., and Howard "Skip" Iba of Tulsa; a daughter,
Sharon Jahns of San Jose, Calif.; two brothers, Howard Iba of
St. Joseph, Mo., and Earl Iba of Portland, Ore.; seven grandchildren
and one great-grandchild. Send

Giant on the move
Dave (& Mark & Nick), the torch and Everest – Day 11
Well, we are still here. Invited as we were to cover this amazing event, we have been kept at the press centre located near Everest Base Camp for over one week now, and still we do not know the answers to a basic, important question – Where is the Olympic torch now?
Frustrations are obviously still running high, and at 5200 Metres altitude, that frustration is unfortunately multiplied.
Sitting at breakfast this morning, the remaining foreign press contingent decided we would list the good things about our situation, rather than just dwell on the obvious annoyances. This is what we came up with:
1. The view……lets face it, it does not get much better than this.
2. The internet facilities…….the only reason why I am able to send my pictures, and now blogs, so easily is due to the excellent set up at the press centre. Plus, it allows us to watch repeats on YOU-TUBE of British comedies.

Noted for its success in creating a pedestrian-friendly downtown from scratch, Brea has a new project in mind: a complex of apartments and stores also designed to echo an era when people could walk from home to jobs and shopping.
There's just one problem. The project has raised the ire of residents in a real old-fashioned neighborhood.
Known as the Union Oil Neighborhood, it is made up of nearly 70 homes spread over six square blocks only a few blocks south of the downtown district. Built by the former Union Oil Co. for its employees in the 1920s and 1930s, many of the modest one-story dwellings are just over 1,000 square feet, with lawns and front porches. It's the kind of place that planners practicing "new urbanism" often try to replicate.

The collaboration received recognition for it's "progressive and creative approach." The campaign was created to raise awareness about alcohol access in the home, targeting young teens.
"Danvers is a typical Massachusetts community with a staggering 85 percent of its high school students indicating it is easy/very easy to access alcohol at home," said David Thomson, president of Thomson Communications, in a prepared statement. "What makes this town different is the presence of DanversCARES and the approach it took to raise awareness of the issue. The results we were able to achieve through this innovative campaign were a direct result of partnering with the dedicated community members that make up the coalition."
Later this month Jason Verhoosky, the youth program coordinator and community liaison for DanversCARES was selected to present a panel at the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of American 2011 Mid-Year Training Institute.
Verhoosky, along with three other panelists will be presenting various social media seminars to a national audience in Anaheim, California.
"Jason has become a sought-after presenter for coalitions that want to better understand how they can incorporate and effectively use social media," said Peg Sallade, Collation Coordinator for DanversCARES. "We are very fortunate that we can tap into Jason's experience at DanversCARES every day."

In last month's column, I talked about the county budget process. The budget was given final approval upon third reading of the budget ordinance June 23 by a unanimous vote of Lancaster County Council.
This month's column will highlight what was in the budget and discuss some of the items that were not in the budget.
I'd like to discuss some issues that are causing new businesses not to want to locate here. Lancaster is having trouble producing enough skilled workers to fill needs of prospective businesses and companies. I'm talking welders, HVAC technicians, machine operators, etc.
So, what are some answers that will address this problem?
The window is closing fast for county officials to make a decision on the future of the county's one-cent capital project sales tax.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — BOSTON — State Sen. Bruce Tarr and state Rep. Lenny Mirra have announced that the expansion of the Groveland Board of Selectmen to five members is now official.
Gov. Deval Patrick signed the legislation, which was jointly sponsored by Tarr and Mirra, into law last week at the Statehouse. The new law will expand the current Board of Selectmen in Groveland from three to five members. This is a move that was initiated by town officials who feel that a five-member board will be more efficient and better suit the needs of the community.
"Senator Tarr and Representative Mirra quickly recognized the historical significance of this measure and I applaud them for supporting this citizen's petition," said Selectman Joe D'Amore. "Town government must become more responsive to the needs of citizens and this critical change in structure is a giant step towards that end."
Tarr said he was pleased with the move and was glad the Legislature was able to move quickly on the change before the end of the legislative session.
"Groveland deserves a town government that is modern, effective and fully representative of its citizens," said Tarr. "This change, rooted in a local initiative, is substantial and will help to achieve these goals."
Mirra shared in Tarr's enthusiasm, noting that things don't always happen quickly in the Statehouse.
"I am thrilled we were able to help out and push this law through," Mirra said. "The town can now proceed with implementing the change for the next election without any delay."
Mirra was also quick to praise Tarr, who was instrumental in the measure's passage.
"When you want to get something done in the Legislature, it is nice having Senator Tarr by your side," Mirra said. "He is extremely effective. We make a great team."

Dirty Three
Dirty Three
(Touch and Go)
Displaying a reticence that barely conceals a fluid sense of dynamics, Dirty Three creates an inviting space out of what ought to be a house of cards. This instrumental unit from Melbourne, Australia, typically builds its compositions around the barest of frameworks -- usually guitar, drums, and violin, though the occasional accordion and harmonica find their way into the mix. Due to its odd-man-out status, Warren Ellis' violin is usually the lead voice by default, but these songs often threaten to implode from collective hesitation. That they usually don't is a big part of their charm.
In fact, the Dirty method is least successful on a cut like "Better Go Home Now," in which guitarist Mick Turner and drummer Jim White lay down a solid rhythmic backing, letting Ellis carry the riff/melody line, the way a purely "rock" trio might structure a piece. It's more fun to hear the Three struggle to give each other space while building to an unexpected climax, as on "Indian Love Song," the record's 10-minute opener, which is built on the sparest of Bo Diddley beats. A minimalist track like "Odd Couple," constructed around mournfully undulating accordion chords, achieves a certain beauty because of what isn't played; it keeps ripping holes in itself but always remains upright.
Call it a jazz ethos coupled with a rocklike inclination toward psychic meltdown. Ellis made a name for himself playing on Nick Cave records, and both Turner and White did time in Venom P. Stinger. Like other musicians who've made the transition from post-punk to post-rock (most notably the Universal Congress Of, recalled here on the frenzied "Dirty Equation"), the Three often finds itself fusing unexpected stylistic elements. The best example of this is "Everything's Fucked," in which the despair invoked by the title is reworked by slowly cascading violin lines to evoke a sense of rebirth. You know, that 4 a.m. mood when you realize that everything's fallen apart but you now have the freedom to put it back together again.
-- Greg Milner
Dirty Three plays the Lollapalooza Second Stage Thurs, Aug. 17, at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View; call (510) 762-BASS.
Dead Leaves
One would be right to assume that with a name like Versus, conflict is the order of the day for this NYC-based trio of post-Sonic Youth power-popsters. If you're looking for political diatribes and ideological rants, however, you're better off toting your merry pink ass down to Tower to pick up the new Rancid, 'cause there aren't any here; in Versus' case, the conflict is internal, galvanized into an existential tug of war and articulated via the scrape of a guitar string and quavering voices groping toward resonance. Can quiet desperation be said to make noise? In this case, it can.
Comprised of various early singles, compilation cuts, and unreleased material from the band's nascent period (one suspects that TeenBeat compiled this puppy on the quick to correspond with the band's Second Stage stint on the Lollapalooza tour), Dead Leaves lacks the steam-building oomph of 1993's Let's Electrify! EP or The Stars Are Insane, last year's full-length watershed, but it still serves to neatly exemplify Versus' MO. Richard Baluyut's circular, muted guitar figures, coupled with the pining timbre of his and bassist Fontaine Toups' vocals, inevitably lull the listener into a reflective state. Problem is, the resultant ruminations almost always lead to someplace you'd rather not be. Toups' "Forest Fires" is a case study in alienation, with the bassist moaning that "all we've got left are memories," while "Crazy" finds Baluyut brooding over a ghostly visitation from a long-dead friend. He may claim, in "Bright Light," that "I'm sick of melancholia," but the wistful la-la-las that follow instantly belie him. Melancholia is Baluyut's muse; without it, he'd be even more lost than he already is.
If imbalance characterizes the lyrics, though, it's carefully countered by Versus' masterful grasp of dynamics. Thus, when the inner children are in imminent danger of becoming too precious for words, the visceral roar of Rock Power swoops down to save the day, trumpeted with the pistol crack of a snare drum and the stomp of a fuzz box. Again and again, the band parlays elegy into euphony, with a knack that few outfits share. Still, while executed with exactitude, the clashes of calm and clamor are of enigmatic origin: Is it resolution or progressively maddening frustration that finally lowers the sonic bomb? Does it matter? Probably not. In the end, it's just another conflict to be explored.

Geraldine Fibbers
Lost Somewhere Between the Earth and My Home
The members of Carla Bozulich's last band, Ethyl Meatplow, couldn't decide whether to introduce guitars into their synth-bondage dance-floor mix, so they broke up. The Geraldine Fibbers, her new group, not only has guitars but also violin, viola, banjo, and lap steel as well -- and it's emerged as one of the most affecting new bands in recent memory.
With Lost Somewhere Between the Earth and My Home, the Fibbers unveil the full-length version of their newfangled take on traditional songwriting. Many of these cuts have previously appeared on Sympathy for the Record Industry releases; late last year, bidding-war victors Virgin put out a teaser EP that included a hidden track co-written and performed with Beck.

Ayotte's dinner: Talking with Obama is wrong?
Among the dozen Republican senators who joined the President for dinner and conversation at Washington's Jefferson Hotel Wednesday night was New Hampshire's Kelly Ayotte. Friendly with Sen. John McCain, Ayotte drew criticism from some libertarian and conservative activists for joining the President (and McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., two famously moderate Republicans). Somehow, Ayotte would have accomplished more had she snubbed the President and joined Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster of CIA director nominee John Brennan, the outraged activists suggested. Nonsense.
Just days before, Ayotte was on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanoplous" saying that she was open to a grand bargain on debt reduction. She would consider revenue increases, she said, but only if they included tax rate reductions, came with serious entitlement reforms, and the new revenue was dedicated exclusively to reducing the federal debt.
To suggest that there is no value in conveying that message to the President in person, in a casual setting in which a working relationship might develop, is to misunderstand the way politics works.
Last August, Sen. Tom Coburn (who attended last Wednesday's dinner) came to the defense of the Tea Party during an interview on MSNBC. Among his points was that Tea Party activists "understand that you've got to have human relations to get along in this world." It is amazing and disappointing that so many activists on both sides think that progress is made by refusing to work with anyone in the other camp.

Acura CL Tires and Wheels
I hit a curb and put a painful scrape on one of those handsome alloy wheels. Not particularily deep (say about 1mm), but about 2 inches long by 1/2 wide. Any suggestions about how to remove/remediate the ugly blemish?
what do you mean replacing the damaged wheel with the spare wheel won't repair the problem? why wouldn't it? assuming you're more careful from now on, and never damage another wheel to the extent you feel it needs repairing, it's a great solution...and much easier than whatever else you come up with.
my point was, in the accord coupe vs solara conference, we sometimes discuss pros and cons of each car, and one advantage put forth by the solara folks back in the 1999 model year was the full size alloy spare-- the accord coupe folks poohed-poohed this, saying, heck, they never use their spare (and when they do, it's just for the brief time they need until they get the puncture hole patched in their tire)....but here's a case where having a full size alloy wheel spare comes in handy-- when you scratch the wheel itself against the curb.
i'm not starting a ruckus here tho, not me. in fact, i think starting with the 2000 solara, they cheapened out and went to a steel rim spare (so I hear)---- tis the holiday spirit and i'm just filled with good cheer. you folks own a real nice car, that acura cl-p/cl-s-- i kinda wonder how you keep it under 55 in a 55 zone-- i think radar detectors should be standard.
Thanks to ral2167 for his insightful and helpful remarks. A true Toy owner. Ralph, the CLS doesn't have a full size spare, so I can't swap the one in the trunk. We're all very impressed that your Toy has a full size. Size must be an important issue for you.
Back to the original problem: does anyone have a suggestion for refinishing a gouged wheel? (Other than downgrading to a Toy?)
their models might have full size alloy spares-- am sure you can find out.
or..take the spare to a brake shop-- they probably have experience turning brake rotors on a machine lathe-- explain your problem and see if they could provide a remedy...wear goggles if you assist.
lwhomer Posts: 13A point of interest on CL spare tires. They are the same diameter as the regular tires, but the wheel is rated for only 12,000 miles of use. The anti-lock, traction control and skid control will not be disabled as would be the case with small, donut spares. However, the spare does not put down as big a foot print as the regular tires. The well under the trunk floor should be able to hold a regular tire and wheel, but the trunk floor would not lie as low with a full-sized tire/wheel combo.

jrent Posts: 15Drove my wifes Cabrio and it really made me appreciate the CL/S. I stomped on the gas and went no where! Steering feels very stiff on the CL/S is there a quick fix or will this adjust with use, also front tires appear under inflated but gauges at 32psi is this due to all the weight being up front?
My 98 CL is about due for tires.The dealer says
I should replace them with the same type which is Michelin 205/55/16.I would like to know if anybody
has put 60 series on.COSTCO said 60 series are too
big.My only gripe about the original tires is road noise.I have 54K miles and lot's of tread is left but cracks are in the sidewalls.Also the price is $144 each mounted,balanced,with road
hazard coverage.Is this a good price?
l943973 Posts: 197I would also look at the Yokohama AVS db. They are ultra-high performance all-season tires. They are extremely quiet tires (quieter than Michelins Energys) and grip better. Noise was a primary concern for me and all-season important too. I have a 99RL. I've always thought the Michelins were noisy. I've already tested them in the snow and haven't had any problems. I feel the ride is a little stiffer than the Michelins but not by much. They go for about $92 for 215 so 205s should be less (www.tirerack.com). It took 4 days for delivery ($25/shipping).
gatorgregm Posts: 1Im selling my stock 16in wheels bc im getting new rims.....im asking if anyone knows where i should go to sell them or knows anybody that might be interested....the are in good condition and only have 20K miles on the 50K michellin tires...email me if you can help me out...email@example.com
thanks......i have a picture of them if you want to see....email me and ill send it to you//
Just had new tires put on my 98 CL and at COSTCO
you pay $7 for a package that includes road
hazard warranty.That's per tire and it sounded
like a good idea.Now it sounds like a GREAT idea.
My CL has not run over anything yet that ruins a tire but... My wife's new TL hit something on the freeway and caused a blowout and had no road
hazard coverage.Acura roadside assistance covered
the tire change but it costs over $150 to replace
the tire.Since I have learned my lesson I now
have coverage on all my tires.More advice don't
try changing a tire on a busy freeway you might get killed by crazy drivers instead join AAA
or buy a car that has roadside assistance.Driving
just a short distance on a flat can ruin an alloy
wheel and that's another $300 or so.
If you look into the front wheelwells, the liner seems to consist of more than 1 panel that overlap one another. I've noticed that these panels are not sealed together where they overlap.
In other words, it appears that dirt and water whipped up by the tires can get in between the gap where the 2 pieces overlap.
I'm wondering if it is just my car where there is separation of these liner panels, or are they all like that. Secondly, assuming these gaps are by design, would that create a problem (in regard to dirt and water getting in)?
f4u1d25 Posts: 3I love this car but living in New York means you're always parking next to a curb and Acura has really made a big mistake in combining 17" wheels and low-profile tires. I've only got 2500 miles on my silver Type S and already three of the four wheel rims are gouged from hitting the curb when parking. Maybe if enough people complain about this goof in design they'll change it and give us new wheel rims. ha! ha!

To the editor:
The concept of a buyback for fishermen has, in my view, already been distorted beyond belief.
First, the local industry "organization" supported this shift toward sectors — knowing full well early on in the process it would do nothing but eliminate people. The whole concept of sectors was designed to get rid of the small guys without deep pockets.
Now, the Seafood Coalition's angle seems to be to turn the buyback money — if it becomes a reality, which is what it wants — into subsidies the coalition leaders can use to take control of the individual permits they'd rather not deal with.
First, after the allocation and implementation of sectors, it demands more for those of us who participated in the process.
We knew early on the allocations would be extremely low; that's a given. By asking for more, the coalition ensures the initial shakeout starts — knowing that, by the time the allocations increase, the dead wood (single-permit holders) would be gone. Then, it can control any buyout money, and that would benefit the few at the top.
For me, having never wavered in my extreme non-support of sectors, this is appalling to watch play out. I have been told that this is all my imagination, but it's hard not to notice the trend.
I, for one, will not fall for the smoke and mirrors line of "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
I simply shake my head in total disgust at the low places to which the politicians and "industry leaders" have sunk.

Goshen News
---- — It's another potpourri week. That means ruminative vignettes from me. Here goes:
Every so often I have an "Aha!" moment. I used to call it a "revelation," but I think it's less about something having been revealed to me and more about me — finally, maybe — understanding it.
So every so often I get an understanding. I got one recently, and here it is: Sometimes, friends, we do not get second chances. You either get it right the first time or you do not. No mulligans, which is a term for the "do-over" my mom taught me when I was a teenage golfer.
And many thanks for mulligans, right? I mean every night when I put my head on the pillow, I come up with a list of mistakes I need to correct, attitudes I need to improve, whatever. I ask for forgiveness, make amends as able, and move on.
That's being a human; that's life.
And to date, I've woken up every morning with yet one more opportunity to get it right — or, at least, get it better. I've gotten thousands of mulligans, I know. If you're reading this, so have you.
So, much of life, truly, is about having yet one more opportunity to grow, to learn. We crawl, then walk, then run. We fall, get up, fall, get up. I understand that and, like everyone else, would be long gone without mulligans.
But, in some ways, it seems we've grown to expect these next chances. We're angry when we get a speeding ticket rather than a warning — even if we broke the law. We tank a test and cry out for scaled grades or dropped scores or another chance to take it. (Um, I know nothing about that.)
It seems, too, that we have grown as a people to aim for a standard far below perfection because we're sure we can always get it right later, get it right the next time. Or worse: When we do screw up, we're pretty quick to expect people to be gracious to us, to forgive our errors. When they're not so amenable, instead of looking at where we might have been wrong and correcting it, we bite back with, "Well, nobody's PERFECT."
I saw some of all of that in myself recently, and it was not a pleasant revelation (yes, revelation). And recently I screwed up on the one thing you really CANNOT mulligan: a first impression. Haven't you heard that? "You never get a second chance to make a first impression?"
Later, when I realized what kind of impression I likely left, I thought about how I could re-do it. But I could not re-do it. I could try to clean up any mess I might have made — but sometimes that just makes matters worse, so be careful — but I could not, in fact, re-do that first impression.
Then I thought about nursing in areas like critical care, emergency or trauma situations. I'll be in those situations shortly, and I'm glad I got this understanding now: Sometimes there are no mulligans. You have to make a quick decision, and it could be — oh-so-literally — life or death. No do-overs.
Probably we have become somewhat of a "second chances" society out of self-preservation. How untenable is it to live with this kind of pressure all the time — get it right the first time OR ELSE? Way too untenable.
Yet sometimes we MUST live that way. If I'm your emergency nurse, you'd better hope I live this way.
But how do I?
The answer I came up with is MINDFULNESS.
Mindfulness, from what I can tell, is about being extra consciously aware of whatever you're doing in the moment, with "in the moment" the key phrase there. So if I'm meeting you for the first time, I'm right in that meeting, listening intently and being mindful about what impression I'm making.
In theory, then, there's a lot less room for "Ack! I should have … could have … or would have …" because I already will have have. "Have have?" Yes, have have, meaning I already was in that moment, doing good and right things, rather than later wishing I had.
That's the theory.
I have begun to work on this conscious mindfulness — particularly in health care settings and with my family — but mindfulness is not easy when your brain is busy and thinking of what seems like a gazillion things.
Thankfully, I'll get a mulligan on mindfulness, a chance to get it better … tomorrow.

An altercation after a Little League game Friday night at Britt David Park got two people cited for disorderly conduct after police had to be called.
Moments after Northern beat Harris County in the 12-year-old championship game, a fight erupted beyond the centerfield fence.
Columbus Police Lt. Mark D. Starling called it a heat of the moment thing.
Starling did not release the names of the two adults who were cited nor was he sure which team they were supporting.
Because of the nature of this and it was around kids, we didnt want to take anyone to jail, but we felt like we needed to do something, Starling said.
Not long after arriving, police were able to identify the people Starling called the principle parties.
It was pretty much under control when we got there, Starling said.
At least two people were handcuffed.
That was more for our protection, Starling said.

Editor's Note: This information came from a press release sent to Los Gatos Patch by El Camino Hospital Los Gatos. It may have been edited for clarity and brevity.
December celebrated an important milestone in the history of health care in the community—the 50th anniversary of815 Pollard Rd.
Back in the days when the area was mostly agricultural, a group of physicians set out to establish a local hospital that could serve the needs of a growing community. One of those founding physicians was Dr. Allen McGrath, who continues to practice internal medicine today.
"The community has seen significant change in the last 50 years, but one thing that remains constant is our ability to provide the community with quality health care services."
Opened on Dec. 17, 1962, Los Gatos Hospital had 288 employees and 100 physicians on the medical staff, which provided mostly primary and emergency care.
Today, there are more than 380 physicians, 500 employees and 135 volunteers who provide a number of specialty services that are well-renowned within the community.
The Los Gatos campus has made a name for itself in the area of orthopedics having opened the Orthopedic Pavilion in 2011, which offers patients an environment that facilitates healing and focuses on returning to regular activities as soon as possible.
The hospital has also gained recognition for its one-of-a-kind comprehensive Men's Health Program and rehabilitation services both acute and outpatient. A founding hospital service, labor and delivery and post-partum care continue to provide family's with birthing options unique to their needs.
Also among those early physicians was Dr. F. Gilbert Gregory, who, in 1962 had just finished his residency at the University of California, San Francisco and was looking for a place to practice.
Attracted by the idyllic scenery and growing community, Gregory settled in the area and joined a growing medical practice. He fondly recalls a time in which physicians made house calls and how a costume gorilla head once treated a heart arrhythmia.
The Los Gatos hospital has been a mainstay in the community and its recent partnership with El Camino Hospital enables its patients to have even greater access to health-care resources while still retaining its local identity.
As the health-care environment continues to change, the Los Gatos campus is well-positioned to make the changes it needs to continue meeting the community's needs for the next 50 years.

From Staff reports
OKLAHOMA CITY — Tahlequah's boys tennis team returned home Saturday without accruing any points at the state tennis tournament.
Connor Nelson (No. 1 singles) and Hunter Manes and Lars Gris (No. 1 doubles) were all eliminated in the consolation quarterfinals on Saturday at the Oklahoma City Tennis Center.
The tournament didn't start off well for the Tigers, when they were handed three losses by default in the first round. Tahlequah was late arriving to the tournament, thus enduring three losses by forfeit.
"We had a tough start to our state tournament Friday morning," said Tahlequah coach Mike Leafgreen, who identified troubles with the team's van as the reason for showing up late on Friday morning. "But the guys bounced back and showed heart and determination in fighting back from that."
Tahlequah's only other state-tournament competitor was Leon Beck at No. 2 singles. He was ousted on the first day, with a loss to Bixby in the consolation first round.

MISSBETHANY....you are my new best friend! Oh my, was this pie GOOOOOD! The only changes that I made was that I thawed my blueberries in a saucepan and added two extra tablespoons of flour, since the reviewers were saying it was a little runny. I made the crust using the Butter Flake Pie Crust recipe on this site....(which I highly recommend).This pie was picture perfect! The next time I make it, we will refrain from woofing it down until my shutterbug daughter takes a photo to submit! Thank you so much! Yummm-OOOO!

I just baked this recipe, and it's excellent. I made a few minor changes: no lemon juice or zest (I didn't have either). I added 1 tbs. of water instead. I added 2 tbs. of cornstarch to the mixture of dry ingredients for the filling. I think the consistency will be fine, once it cools. Since I had no lemon juice, I added a pinch of salt to the filling. Next time I'll probably try adding a little lemon juice , if I have some. I used 2 pints of fresh berries, which amounted to about 4 and 1/2 cups. This filled a deep pie plate. This is definitely a keeper. Not only is it excellent, it's easy!
Great recipe! Its the one thing I can bake and it's delicious. I add 1 table spoon of cornstarch and cook for 60 minutes. Highly recommended!

I have owned Subaru GL Wagons both 1983 and 1985. 4WD Manual. I loved both of them and wish I had kept them. The 1983 transmission went out and I couldn't afford to repair at the time. Bought the 1985 from private owner and kept for 4 yrs and 200,000 miles. Hauled everything including 6 teenage boys to skateparks! Just loved both of them. I can't find one now and had to settle for another import. But I will keep looking!!

Boone multi-family regs approved
by Anna Oakes
The Boone Town Council on Tuesday voted 4-1 to approve new supplemental standards for multi-family uses with an exemption for mixed-use projects approved through the conditional B-3 district rezoning process.
The Affordable Housing Task Force presented the standards to the council in December as a step to create more housing stock suitable for families and the workforce.
The standards require multi-family units to include garages or 50 square feet of storage space, a .5 livability space (outdoor living, landscaped areas) ratio and a master bedroom at least 25 percent larger than other bedrooms.
The amendment also mandates a mix of unit sizes in each new multi-family project, restricts bedroom-to-bathroom ratios, restricts building height to three stories and limits parking to two spaces per unit with a designated visitor parking area.
The proposed standards mandate that no more than two unrelated persons can reside in each unit.
The new regulations apply to all new multi-family projects in all zoning districts in the town's jurisdiction except for multi-family units that are part of a mixed-use project approved via the conditional B-3 district rezoning process.
The mixed-use project must have no phasing of construction proposed, unless the commercial portions will be constructed as part of the initial phase; unless no more than one-third of multi-family units are constructed prior to completion of all commercial portions; or unless the applicant provides adequate assurances in the form of financial commitments that all commercial portions will be completed within the approved vesting period.
Councilman Allan Scherlen, who voted against the standards, asked why the council and task force did not wait until the town receives the results of its housing market analysis, which are expected this spring. He also said he favored incentives over mandates to promote affordable housing.
"Why is this coming before us now?" Scherlen said. "Is this just an oversight of the task force or a deliberate act to ignore the results of the housing study? I think it's a mistake to go forward at this time."
Councilwomen Jamie Leigh and Lynne Mason said increasing housing stock will hopefully help stabilize housing prices.
"At least if the supply is there, it can only help," Leigh said.
A number of people vocally opposed the new standards at a public hearing earlier in the month, including Watauga County Commissioners Chairman Nathan Miller, area developers and others.
Miller asserted that adoption of the standards as originally proposed by the task force would kill the county's pending sale of the old Watauga High School property to developer Templeton Properties because "student housing is an essential component of the $18,948,000 offer."
However, the exemption for conditional district rezoning mixed-use projects adopted by the council could allow the sale to move forward. Allen Moseley, attorney for Templeton Properties, suggested the exemption at the Feb. 4 public hearing.
Two citizens also spoke against the proposal during Tuesday's public comment session. Liz Riddick asked the council not to approve the standards as proposed, stating the restrictions are excessive and do not contribute to affordability.
Anne Marie Yates also spoke against the regulations.
"Why rush a decision before you have all the information that you need?" she said.

A dispute between two Nanuet stores over missing shopping carts has led to a theft charge, according to .
After reports from several of its employees, the Nanuet complained to police on Dec. 12 that a number of the store's shopping carts were at the nearby in Nanuet. Police said that when a Pathmark representative went to the other store to retrieve the shopping carts, a Farmers Market representative refused to return the carts — saying the carts had been purchased at an auction.
Police said that after an investigation, Atef Khalil, 44, of Yonkers, from Farmers Market was charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor. Khalil was relased pending a Jan. 4, 2012, Clarkstown Town Court hearing in New City.
Pathmark workers removed 23 carts from the Farmers Market, police said.

Muslim group protests school calendar
A Muslim group is reportedly demanding that a school system in Maryland remove Jewish holidays from its calendar.
The Towson Times reported that The Baltimore County Muslim Council battled the Baltimore County school system for three years over adding two Islamic holy days, Id al-Fitr and Id al-Adha, to its calendar, which would make them vacation days.
When the request was not submitted to a vote, the Muslim council demanded that the Jewish holidays on the calendar be dropped, calling it an issue of equity, said the Times.
The move is an attempt to wage de-facto warfare between Muslims and Jews in the county, said Arthur Abramson, executive director of the Baltimore Jewish Council.
The Times quoted him as adding that the decision to have Jewish holidays adopted as vacation days was economic, since it is too costly to hire substitutes for all the observant Jewish teachers.
Pretty soon we'll be forced to obseve "Ramadan" and the Islamic Holidays, all in the name of equality. Since when has there ever been equality in the Islamic world?For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.

This past school year the school system in my area has experimented with Spring Break. Normally Spring Break starts on the either Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday before Easter Sunday and continues through the week after Easter. Our school system was experimenting with the separation of church from state. They decided Spring Break would be the week and a half before the week before Easter.
Transportation was the only issue I was aware of. The Career Center remained in session during the Public School's Spring Break and vice versa.
It was difficult on the students who didn't drive to the Career Center. There was no public school bus or public transportation for those students. The students had to depend on either a family member or possibly a friend to drive them to and from school.
The transportation issue was similar when the Career Center was not in session and the Public School was in session. The Career Center observed the traditional Spring Break. The students who attended morning classes at the Career Center didn't need to be at school until their normal arrival time when school is in session. So these student's had to make arrangements with a driver to take them to school for the afternoon session. The afternoon students were able to take the Public School Bus home. The student's who attended the Career Center during the afternoon could go home after the completion of their morning classes or remain in a study hall until the afternoon classes were over. I'm pretty sure the student's were also able to be in study hall during the morning until their afternoon classes began. This wasn't all that difficult. The Career Center is a bit further away.
It would have been convenient if both the Career Center and Public School had the same Spring Break. The students were able to attend school part-time for about 3 weeks. Some students may have liked it and I'm sure some students would have preferred to be off all day. The drivers of the students were the ones who were inconvenienced more so then the students. Some employers frown on a parent coming in later, leaving earlier, or taking an extended lunch.
I'm not sure if they well experiment with Winter Break or not. Our school system and the Career Center observe the traditional Christmas Break.

A Smile
A smile cost nothing, but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive it,without making poorer those who give.It takes but a moment, but the memoryof it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that hecan get along without it,and none is so poor but thathe can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) - A police officer responding to the deadly Colorado theater shooting says he asked James Holmes twice whether he had an accomplice.
Officer Justin Grizzle says all he got was "self-satisfying offensive smirk."
Another officer who was also trying to figure out what was going on in the chaos testified Tuesday that Holmes told him he was the only shooter.
They testified that screaming and bloodied victims were still fleeing as they handcuffed and searched Holmes.
The hearing is about whether statements Holmes made before he was read his rights can be used during his trial next year.
Police say they had to find out if someone else was involved in the attack that killed 12 people. Prosecutors contend the questions were legal under a public-safety exemption to the Miranda rule.

Albany- You can help keep U.S. service men and women in touch with their families back home.
The VFW in Albany is helping raise money for Operation Uplink, a national program that gets phone cards to soldiers. VFW Member Bobby Lyles' son is serving in the Middle East, so he knows how important those phone calls are.
"But there's nothing like the sound of a loved one on the other end of the phone, no matter how you handle it," Lyles said. "So this is probably one of the most important tools that we can send to the soldiers over there to make their way of life a little easier."
You can donate money at the VFW on Philema Road. The forms they provide give you the option to purchase a card for a particular person or donate to the overall cause.

UT Equipment Manager, on working inside the Big Orange locker room
Roger Frazier
How did you become the equipment manager, or the "locker room guy?"
Before the guys get there, we put everything they need in their lockers. We've got 17 student assistants and two student managers. We clean the players' helmets on Thursdays for home games and on Wednesdays when we go on the road. I take decals off their helmets that need to be redone each week.
Any freshman traditions?

General Meeting Notes
6:30 p.m. Thursday, October 8, 2009
1703 E Geer St, Durham 27704
Pinnacle/Durham TRY
Iris Wilfong-Rogers served as facilitator. Rachel Hardy and Upom Malik produced the minutes.
Major Decisions Made
The majority voted for Wanda Boone to be the president of BBGA, until the group can write bylaws and hold elections based on those bylaws.
1.Duke Energy Cliffside Plant--Susan O'Neill presented an update on the status of Cliffside Plant construction. There was a protest of the Cliffside plant last year. Pete MacDowell announced there will be a rally and public hearing in Raleigh on Monday October 19 at 12 noon and 1 p.m. to voice opinions on the plant. There will also be a "350" March for Climate Leadership in Raleigh on October 24.
2. Grant Committee Update
2. Grant Update-- Sandy presented an update on grants BBGA is applying for. The $1.2 million Pathways Out of Poverty grant application with the City of Durham has been submitted. The process helped the group get to know each other better, and all NGOs were able to get mention in the final application. Evette was also able to meet with Bell Bill. The city is open-minded, but does not have the funds to support a project. Evette was also able to meet with Chamber of Commerce President. She discussed with both parties to create a pledge to control green washing. She also discussed the need to choose our partners and attract solar manufacturers to Durham. Iris expressed concerns about big business taking over. Sandy also noted that the application was hindered because the federal Department of Labor wanted certification training. However, there is a shortage of certified trainers. The Solar Center in Raleigh, affiliated with N.C. State University, is one of the few certified training centers in the country. Sandy said she believes even if we get grant, we need to train the trainers. Wanda added that the grant will have the city working with a population it has not worked with before, and that it will require more specialized services. Therefore, recruitment needs more money. Nick listed and included what we need. Pete believes we need to clarify BBGA's responsibilities. Sandy replied that Nick said BBGA members would be on an advisory panel for hiring, while DERC or Durham TRY could serve as intake. Wanda and Pete both noted that BBGA is not a structured entity, and that we should get 501(c)3 status. Evette pointed out that Mayor Bell was a former IBM engineer, and that grants concentrate on youth, seniors, and veterans.
3. Roundtable Discussion- What are the two things we need to do to advance as a group? Each person was asked to list first and second recommendations for action. The following were mentioned. 1. Find our direction 2. Get 501(c)3 status 3. Get 501(c)3 status 4. Get a clear structure, i.e. with elected leaders and bylaws 5. Seek officers and interns 6. External leadership before getting 501(c)3 7. Leadership 8. Organization as soon as possible (tonight if possible) 9. Get interns 10. Get business community support for funding 11. Know, understand, & celebrate who we are and what we each bring to the table 12. Concentrate on children in danger of dropping out 13. Renovate Pinnacle Building (approx $150,000) 14. Improve community green literacy in order to get political clout 15. Get Investment Capital (Frank- look at Grameen as a model) 16. Green Literacy should be focus 17. Build Partnerships, especially with universities 18. Prevent green washing 19. Bring people in and have them invest in the vision 20. Be Strategic; outreach and fundraising should appeal to the felt needs of people in Northeast Central Durham 21. Outreach—not just educating but listening 22. Focus on OneDurham Everybody Eats- specifics 23. Research other Grants 24. Have online collaborative groups 25. Get a project to start with 26. Target a green festival in the spring 27. Have an environmental mobile unit with Marc that targets youth, featuring homemade disaster preparedness kits.
4. President Nomination and Election--Frank nominated Wanda for president of BBGA. Pete seconded the nomination, and a majority raised hand for Wanda. Marc believes president should scrutinize how money is spent. Wes believes there should eventually be a board. Sandy believes president should advocate for BBGA with the city. Alice believes the president should coordinate projects and overall organization. Susan suggested president should have accountability.
