In the past few weeks, when we've been so busy that this column has found neither time nor space to appear, you've missed a lot of really good predictions.
I was fully prepared to tell you that the Cardinals were going to win it all in major league baseball and that the Colts would be finishing third in the their division of the National Football League. Now I don't have to take back those words.
I might also have tried to figure scenarios that would be best for Wabash Valley high school football teams in Indiana to make long playoff runs.
Lots of postseason success is still possible, but certainly not because the Indiana High School Athletic Association did any of our teams any favors. I am hard pressed right now, a little more than 24 hours before postseason football begins, to think of any of my teams with a fortuitous draw.
I guess we'll have to make our own breaks.
There is still time to tell you about volleyball, which is a good-news, bad-news deal for the three best teams in this area.
The good news is that the Class 4A sectional — which features a defending champion Terre Haute South team that's beaten Terre Haute North which has beaten Northview which has split with South — includes at least two other teams with similar skills and credentials. Absolutely anything can happen in the five matches that will determine the 2009 champion today and Saturday, and all five could be heart-stopping.
The bad news, of course, is that the tournament is at Martinsville.
Continuing down that path, more good news is that such a situation probably assures a championship match between two of the three western representatives — a match some of their fans probably won't get to see — just as the 2010 championship match, coming back to a western site, will probably feature Plainfield vs. Martinsville or one of those teams vs. Mooresville.
Which came first, class sports or irony and cynicism?
There is volleyball closer to here, however. West Vigo is host for the Class 3A tournament, during which a lot of teams will probably be scheming to think of a way to beat Sullivan; there are at least three contenders in a Class A sectional at Shakamak; and an entertaining Rockville team is the favorite at Covington.
Any or all of those tournaments are worth a look or two. And for fans of the Braves, Knights and Patriots, try to remember — as I always try to remember — that there are speed traps on Indiana 67 between Gosport and Martinsville, particularly after dark.
• • •
• With gratitude — It's been almost 20 years since I met Rachel and her friend Evalee while refereeing one of their Clay City basketball games and, as Darcy would say, I had no clue that one day I'd be marrying Rachel's mother with Rachel and Evalee tending the guest book at the ceremony.
Nor, of course, that I'd be speaking one day at Rachel's funeral.
You may remember me writing a few years ago about how tough Rachel was as she fought off her second round of cancer. The fifth round proved to be too much, but the Princess in pink was a fighter; it's going to be fun to watch Garrett grow up with all the great qualities he got from her and from his dad Ryan.
Not all of you were there to hear my speech about her, and its gist needs to be in public domain anyway. A lot of great things have happened in my life in the last 15 years, none of which would have been possible without the girl who helped her mom through some tough times until I could take over that job.
Thanks, Rach.

Amey Takes Aim
Amey Takes Aim: Postseason success is still possible for many Valley teams
- Amey Takes Aim
Amey Takes Aim: Tourney provided a few Classic moments
This column was falling into place nicely until about 1:15 p.m. Saturday. Then youth and inexperience reared up to bite it.
This time don't use your head
My personal suggestion is leather helmets.
As frightening data on concussions filters its way from the National Football League on down to colleges, high schools and youth leagues, I can't help but think back to the time when I was standing on the sidelines watching my teammates play. -
AMEY TAKES AIM: WNBA is part of travel plans
Columnist prepares for vacation destinations.
Amey Takes Aim: NHL playoffs to put TVs to good use
If Jenny had known, she probably wouldn't have bought that TV.
But four or five years ago, my Fathers Day present — for those unfamiliar with Amey family traditions, the Fathers Day one is "let's get something we all really want and pretend it's a gift for Dad" — was a 42-inch Vizio. It's been used even more than the cell phone I never would have bought for myself, or the TomTom that disappeared since Jenny's smartphone arrived.
And it came with high-def.
I'm not going to insult you by telling you how great high-def is, because to do so would be to imply that you are even farther behind the technological curve than I am. I'm guessing, however, that not all of you have yet discovered what it does for hockey. -
Amey Takes Aim: Can't bottle the joy of Amey vacations
The first bad sign was the Gatorade bottle.
In the Bataan-Death-March drive to Orlando that got the Amey family spring break vacation off to a bad start, seeing it between lanes of I-24 — as we zipped along at a 100-miles-in-five-hours clip — filled with an ominous yellow liquid was a little bit scary. And although we didn't stop to check for sure, I'm fairly certain I knew about its contents.
And the person stuck in the same traffic jam with us, the one with the existential license plate YMIHR4, couldn't have asked a more pertinent question.
But, after seeing a lot more of Oak Grove, Ky., than we'd planned, and after enduring more traffic slowdowns in Nashville, we were on our way. Even some rain in the dark in the Smokies didn't slow us down much, so you would think our first-day troubles were over.
You would be wrong. -
ANDY AMEY: Farewell to basketball
I believe you've heard me say before — just about a year ago, perhaps — that a boys high school basketball season that ends with the Tribune-Star in Bankers Life Fieldhouse can't be considered a bad one, which is why we have a little celebrating to do thanks to the Linton Miners.
Lover of irony that I am, I've also got to point out that this season was another branch sprouting from the Wabash Valley's most legendary coaching tree, that of Joe Hart.
Joe never got much credit for his work at Dugger, but he took Brody Boyd, Clark Golish and the Bulldogs to a state championship game in 2000, and since then three of his former players — Joe Pigg, Clint Swan and now Joey Hart, his son — also have coached teams in the final game of the season.
Joe probably wishes he could take credit for Doc Nash, another down-home type who gave a banjo lesson earlier Saturday in leading Borden past a bigger, more athletic Triton team (banjo lesson is a Howard Sharpism, for you younger readers), but his lineage is still the best I can think of around here. -
AMEY TAKES AIM: Maroons, Rox final a true Classic
I don't make predictions nearly as often as I used to, but I had one several months ago that was proven correct last week.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Nitpicking aside, West Vigo Hall of Fame selections spot on
I can't imagine a better first class of inductees into the West Vigo High School Athletics Hall of Fame than the one that was feted Saturday night in the Jim Mann Green Dome.
Tough bunch of people
I'm getting my warm clothes ready for a trip to Linton this week, and if a few thrills from the Miners, Casey or North Vermillion happen the next couple of weeks, I hope I get to see them.
But high school football is over in Vigo County for the season — as coach Chris Barrett of Terre Haute North said, prematurely — and I'm sadder to see it go than usual.
Walking the sidelines and doing midweek or postgame interviews enables me to meet quite a few of the guys whose names you are about to read, and haven't been more impressed than I was this fall. What outstanding groups of young men. What a tough, tough bunch of people.
Many know that one of my favorite athletic adjectives appeared consecutively in the previous sentence. -
AMEY TAKES AIM: A weekend to remember with ISU's '72 football team
They're all still pretty hale and hearty, the boys of the fall of 1972 who returned to campus over the weekend to honor their former football coach.
AMEY TAKES AIM: ISU reunion raises more questions than answers
One of the wrestlers I used to hang out with occasionally claimed to be a pretty good second-story man — although he may have just been talking, since I never saw any of the goods — and it was with him in mind that I was able to get access to the Indiana State Wrestling Alumni Reunion late Saturday night.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Deciding not to 'vacate' during 'vacation' – & other ventures
Flaunting the law, setting a bad example for the kids in other ways, grooming and acquiring dogs … not a typical Amey family vacation, but an appreciated one just the same.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Huntsville's Stars, Havoc take back seat to GGS
The second-best thing about the Amey family's spring-break trip to Huntsville, Ala., is that we left a lot of things on the table to do the next time we're down there.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Rox well represented on Amey teams
If having the state finals in town makes it a successful girls high school basketball season, then certainly having a team to follow at the state finals makes it a very successful boys high school basketball season . . .
AMEY TAKES AIM: A feeling of pride, not disappointment, comes from watching Rox play
It's not going to come as a startling admission that I — once the rest of the local opposition has been eliminated from consideration — am an unabashed fan of whatever team the Wabash Valley sends onward in postseason high school sports competition.
AMEY TAKES AIM: This private school plays basketball the right way
Any girls high school basketball season that ends with state championship games in Hulman Center is a pretty good one — even though I wished I'd seen Riverton Parke and Seeger knock off a couple of private schools the week before to even the public school-private school battle a little bit.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Even 2 of state's best once had doubts
Look at them now.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Getting ready for the dance
Terre Haute North got the good news Sunday night — or did it?
AMEY TAKES AIM: Harrowing path for state hopefuls
The bad news is that the winner of Class 4A Sectional 13 in boys basketball heads northeast instead of southeast for regional play in March — to Hinkle Fieldhouse instead of Seymour as a result of Indiana High School Athletic Association's changes.
AMEY TAKES AIM: A superior all-star arrangement
I don't work on Wednesdays, so I wasn't able to attend the first Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association draft last week to set up the annual all-star game that will be June 23 this year.
AMEY TAKES AIM: The biggest & baddest of a holiday classic
There are more things to love about the Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic than could fit in this newspaper, but one of this year's best things was that for an hour or so on Wednesday, it was Justin Paddock's world and we were just living in it.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Taking note of ISU's latest football win
The biggest difference I've noticed, as I transition from the high school football beat to quasi-official status as the Indiana State football beat writer for a few weeks, is the length of the games.
AMEY TAKES AIM: IHSAA playoff draw not as bad as it could have been
First reaction to the Indiana sectional football pairings drawn late Sunday by the Indiana High School Athletic Association? It could have been a lot worse.
ANDY AMEY: Between the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & a hard place
Just in case any of you noticed — with some anticipation — the recent lack of my bylines, I can tell you that your wish (and mine) did come true. It was vacation week for the Amey family.
Amey Takes Aim: UFC fighter's bloodines traced back to ISU brothers
As a mild-mannered reporter from a great metropolitan newspaper — or thereabouts — I admit I haven't paid much attention to the burgeoning mixed martial arts scene.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Predators' win is music to new fan's ears
For many, many years, the number of live games televised on WGN has been cited as perhaps the main reason for the popularity of the Chicago Cubs (it's got to be something besides masochism, right?).
AMEY TAKES AIM: You'll be having a good ol' time on vacation with the Ameys
When one of the first people you meet is Tammy Wynette's stepdaughter, when you've stepped on the feet of people you haven't met while trying to navigate Ernest Tubbs' old Silver Eagle tour bus, and when the activities director of your resort is, well, Elvis, you might be vacationing in Nashville.
AMEY TAKES AIM: The Annual All-Amey basketball teams close out the prep season
The most encouraging boys high school basketball event I've attended so far in 2011 has been the Lafayette Semistate a couple of weeks ago.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Family remembers Cheryl Weatherman as caring grandmother
As far as Riley and Keely Davis are concerned, Cheryl Weatherman was simply their grandmother, and a pretty darn good one at that.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Honor to see Turkey Run girls close out memorable career
I don't know if anyone in this part of the state could actually say they enjoy going to Fort Wayne and back, but I was glad to see the Turkey Run Warriors play one last time during the girls basketball state finals Saturday.

North Florida dominated inside, outscoring Kennesaw State 32-18 in the paint.
The Owls (2-21, 1-10) took a 9-0 lead to open the game but North Florida responded with a 20-3 run to take a 20-12 advantage with 7:39 remaining in the half. The Ospreys maintained the lead the rest of the game.
Markeith Cummings, who is tied with Smith for first in scoring in the A-Sun Conference, matched his season average with 17 points for Kennesaw State. Cummings was the only player in double figures for the Owls, who have now lost eight straight games.

The Attorney General Has Had Enough of Your Condo Disputes
Ever since the financial crisis hit, the Attorney General's office has dealt with hundreds and hundreds of condo escrow disputes. And you know what, enough is enough. If you want to argue about whether or not the developer delivered on the terms promised in the contract and deserves to keep your deposit, well you are going to have to take your legal bickering elsewhere.
The Real Deal reports that the Eric Schneiderman's office isn't going to resolve any more condo disputes—which generally arise from changes to plans, delayed delivery dates, construction defects or buyers simply changing their mind and trying to back out of deals—any more. People are going to have to settle their legal claims in state and federal court. Read More

User Reviews LDF8072ST 4.5 5 149 149 unbelievably quiet I was frustrated by constantly having dirty top rack dishes with my old dishwasher (less than 5 yrs old)- which was rated high btw. I'd had two repairmen come different times. Turns out they left necessary pieces off the dishwasher. So I researched this dishwasher and kept my fingers crossed. I love it. It is so quiet you can barely hear it. The dishes come out clean. The ease of use is fantastic. Twist the filter to clean. When it's finished it sings a happy song. There's happy music just like the LG laundry machine (which I also LOVE) when the load is finished. It doesn't have steam dry but I find it is not necessary. The only issue is that it takes 2 3/4 hours to do a load. If you're not in a hurry then you will love this dishwasher.

Trafficking in human beings, especially women and children, in Africa

In recent years child trafficking has gained visibility as a major violation of children's rights and it is a priority concern for the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre (IRC). This research reaffirms this priority. The study builds upon previous UNICEF IRC work on child trafficking in eight countries in West Africa. It is framed by the important international normative framework agreed upon by the international community, particularly the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols, the Palermo Protocol to the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour.

Today I have some food prep/storage ideas for the Warm blogosphere!
Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil.
It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.
Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef.
It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.
For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.
Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste Of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste.
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm.
This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza.
For easy deviled eggs, put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up.
Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size.
You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food
moist and help it reheat faster.
Got a tip to share? Please add to the list here!

Samsung said to be supplying next-gen iPad screens
Despite Apple and Samsung's intense rivalry and legal spats, the South Korean tech giant is now said to be one of the key suppliers for the next iterations of Apple's iPad and iPad Mini.
That's according to ETNews, which is citing industry sources and saying that Samsung is readying both 7.9- and 9.7-inch displays for the two devices, both with 2,048x1,536 pixel, or "Retina Display," resolution.

It's difficult to map a scenic course in Cleveland. There are a lot of brownfields and abandoned lots sprinkled throughout the city. But this race did well enough to pick out the best roads to showcase Cleveland's positive attributes. Spectators lined the course, especially in the first half, and all were super excited to have a race there. Some parts were crowded on the sidelines; it looked like people were there for a parade. Several bands on the course were rather entertaining. Volunteers at the water stations were very helpful and encouraging. The tee-shirt and medal are great! The start and finish lines were difficult to get to and parking was a pain. It was quite the walk from where I parked, not a problem before, but tough after the race. Post race food was lame, just simple bagels and bananas, but there was an ice pop and I hadn't had one in years so that sort of made up for what food they lacked. It was a really hot day and the organizers did so well in compensating for the heat with extra water. It did take me down though. I walked the majority of miles 18-22, fortunately that part took us through community gardens and city parks, so it was a highlight. Overall, this was a nice race, well organized, and fun. Read my detailed take on the race on my blog: http://empoweredbyrunning.com/?p=29
You can't control the weather, but you can control how many water stops you have. There should be one every mile during the second half. This was my 6th Cleveland Marathon(The Medal has not changed) and the roads keep getting worse. I tripped over a pot hole at mile 21 and got scraped up pretty bad. Many runners stopped to help me up and see if I was OK. When I finished I went to the first aid tent, they told me I needed to exit and go around the back, when I got to the back they told me they were not allowed to let me enter in that way. Therefore I got no medical attention, and no one seemed to care. The gear drop off was in the most inconvenient spot possible. After running a marathon they make you walk another 1/2 mile to pick up your gear. These guys have been organizing this marathon for a long time, and keep on making rookie mistakes. It's time for someone else to take over.
This was my first marathon. The weather was cool at the start and wamed up for us slower runners but Im used to running in 85-90 degree weather so it didnt effect me. Other runners struggled because of the heat. I really enjoyed the crowd support-especially at the very end when I really needed it. After the 1/2 split from us the crowds cleared out but thats pretty normal. There were a lot of potholes and you have to be very careful throughout the course-thats the main reason I didnt give 5 stars. The marathon HQ hotel Hyatt left much to be desired. They did have a shuttle to the expo but there was nothing going on for the runners to make it feel like you were at the HQ. wont stay there again. I agree that there should have been more to choose from to eat at the finish. I had to wait to get to the hotel. All in all, I truly enjoyed the volunteers, entertainment, people hosing us down and the crowds that came out to cheer for people they dont even know. I will do Cleveland again.
Pros: -one of the best and definitely the biggest expo I've attended. Tons of vendors to shop and free samples. -plenty of indoor bathrooms are available pre-race inside the Browns stadium. I was able to use the restroom multiple times without much of a wait and didn't have to hold my breath in a port-o-pot. Major plus. -I've heard the water stops in 2012 were not supported well enough, didn't have enough water, etc. Not the case this year. The volunteers were awesome about calling out what they were holding and having plenty of cups ready. They also started spraying runners with a hose after mile 15 or so when the temperature rose close to 80. -the course is a lot of fun and takes you through so many areas and landmarks of Cleveland. Miles 19-21 are run through the cultural gardens on MLK drive, probably my favorite part of the race. Shaded by trees and beautiful scenery. -more than enough refreshments at the finish line. I've never seen so many bananas! The cold popsicles were great and runners get one free drink in the beer tent. -finisher's medal is fun and great quality Cons- -course is not what I would describe as 'flat and fast'- the first mile is almost completely uphill and there are many other long, gradual inclines. Nothing unbearable, but don't expect flat. -this has been mentioned already, but beware of potholes!! Completely out of the race organizer's control, just be ready if you plan on running this race. Less than a mile in I twisted my ankle in a hole- thankfully was not injured but had to pay close attention to the ground the rest of the way. -crowd support on the second half is pretty non-existant. There is a long stretch down Chester Ave (miles 14-19) that was completely dead minus 1-2 people every 1/4 mile or so. In general the second half is very open- I was surprised how few people ran the full compared to the half. If you plan on running the full, bring music because you'll need it. -not nearly enough water stops. I know this has been mentioned many times before and I really hope the race organizers will do something about it. Every 2 miles for a full marathon simply does not cut it, especially since the last two years have been exceptionally warm temperatures. The space between stops at mile 17 and 19 was brutal. I eventually started walking the stations and taking a full cup of both water and power aid to stay hydrated. I would highly recommend bringing a fuel belt or hand bottle. Overall I did enjoy this race and I'll most likely return in 2014- prepared for the potholes and wearing a fuel belt. It's a fun race and you get to tour a pretty cool city.
These comments are in addition to the review posted above. If you don't factor in the potholes. The course holds its own. It's not excessively hilly but nor is it outright flat. Like many courses, the first half is more scenic than the second. It's hard to get much inspiration running on St. Clair the last few miles. The course can't compete with views of Miami Beach for the Miami Marathon or the Towpath Trail segment in the Akron Marathon. The course goes by many Cleveland landmarks including West Side Market, Tremont, Progressive Stadium (where the Cleveland Indians play), Tower City, the city center, Playhouse Square, Cleveland State University, a tiny bit of Cleveland's de facto 'Chinatown' area, the Cleveland Clinic and University Circle. While I'm not a big fan of expressway segments of courses, when you're on the Shoreway, you run over the Cuyahoga River and you get a good view of Lake Erie and even a lake breeze. It's nice going through the center of Tremont. It's also awesome to run up the Lorain/Carnegie bridge and then you have this fast descent with a view of Progressive Field before going through the heart of downtown. After departing downtown for the second half of the course, you don't get much scenery except MLK Drive and University Circle. On Chester Avenue and St. Clair Avenue, there's no shade and we caught the full brunt of the sun. MLK Drive has plenty of trees and shade and it descends toward Lake Erie. There used to be a bike trail segment here around MIle 22 in the 2012 course, but it got washed out due to Hurricane Sandy, so the organizers had to improvise. You can't see much of the Lake here for the short stretch at Marginal. You have to run uphill Mile 22/23 at East 72nd Street to return to St. Clair, which I would argue is the worst part, maybe the 'armpit' of the course as you're hitting the wall. You get to run under a bunch of I-90 bridges. St. Clair is nothing to write home about. You feel like you're running through a rundown industrial/commercial area. But then you get to finish going downhill on East 9th back to the stadium. As for the first 10 miles, the course starts in Cleveland Browns Stadium. Goes uphill toward the city center, then goes west on the Shoreway expressway until past Mile 3, loops around the scenic Edgewater residential neighborhood, goes northeast through the residential and somewhat commercial Franklin Boulevard area before going through Ohio City and West Side Market and Tremont and returning to downtown via the Lorain/Carnegie bridge. The organizers for 2013 did remove a steep hill in Tremont from the 2012 course because Abbey Avenue was closed for construction. At the start, you climb West Third and then a ramp on Lakeside to get to the Shoreway, which has uphills and downhills. Streets that appear to climb in elevation: Edgewater Drive, W. 85th, W. 44th St, Chester Avenue, E 72nd Street, St. Clair Avenue (very slightly) Streets that appear to descend in elevation: Lake Avenue, Franklin Boulevard, MLK Boulevard, East 9th Street Streets going down then up: West 25th Street Streets going up and then down: Lorain/Carnegie bridge
I entered Cleveland because I had two friends pacing 3:35. I was able to keep up with them for exactly half the race. Temps started rising, and the second half of the course consists of three very long stretches without turns. Not a lot of fans, but those who were out there were very supportive. Water stops weren't very long - not a problem in second half, but it is in the first half when the Half Marathoners share the course. Fairly flat and fast, but unpredictable weather for this time in May isn't necessarily conducive to a PR. Organization was fine, could use more post-race refreshments as there was only bananas, water, Powerade (not good after drinking it on course), chocolate milk and popsicles. But it's a good marathon if you want to run one in the spring and you live in the midwest. Cleveland is a nice city.
The Good: - You get to use the numerous restrooms in Cleveland Browns stadium at the start and finish. While people were waiting an half an hour or so to use port-o-potties outside, I never had to wait for urinals once I walked far enough into the stadium where there was only a wait for men's room stalls. (I can't say how long the wait was for women). As I'm someone who's suffered through bathroom bladder emergencies before marathons, this is super-awesome. Any other marathon and you have to wait 10-20 minutes for a dirty, disgusting port-o-potty. - All the water stations, spaced one to two miles apart, were sufficiently staffed with volunteers with plenty of cups of water and Power Aid, at least those running 3:40. As the heat rose to the mid-70s, volunteers were hosing runners off after the half marathon mark. You could argue that given the heat, there should have been more stations but there are only so many volunteers. A runner who ran 2012 Cleveland under three hours told me that in 2012 due to a mishap transferring volunteers from early water stations to late water stations, there was no water for him from Mile 14 to Mile 23. The organizers fixed this issue for 2013. - For those who started with the 8:30 a mile runners, crowding at the start wasn't that bad. While reviewers have complained about Cleveland's system where runners, except those faster than 3:10, choose their own corrals, I didn't see this being a problem. I had no issue getting into the 8:30-a-mile section at 6:55 a.m.! Once in a while, there'd be a walker ahead of me, but I needed to avoid going out too fast, and the crowd, which dispersed by Mile 2 wasn't an issue. - Cute finisher's medal honoring the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame with a swiveling guitar and in sponsor Rite Aid's colors. Lovely addition to your collection. - Free parking at I-X Center near the airport where the expo is held. The year before it was $8. Good work negotiating this, organizers! (They provide shuttle service for the 13 mile ride from downtown for those from out of town). - It wasn't too tough to find parking downtown, and I spent minimal time stuck in traffic around 6 a.m. I found $5 parking at East 9th and St. Clair. Much more pleasant experience than pre-race chaos of Akron and Columbus marathons last year. - The course is somewhat flat but not completely. It starts uphill and finishes downhill. - Gear check - the area is on an upper level of the stadium and you get a gorgeous view of Lake Erie. Probably best backdrop of any gear check area of any marathon in the world. - Medical Assistance - Everyone I saw hurting or collapsed was getting prompt medical help. - The 3:40 pacer was very engaged and did what he could to motivate people to stick with the group. I could not after Mile 16 due to the heat. (The first half was overcast in the 60s but the second half was into the sun in the mid-70s with red alert flags) The OK: - You get a banana, popsicle, bottle of water and chocolate milk at the finish and a free beer if you want from a sponsor. No bagels or chips. I understand funds are limited but more types of carbs would have been nice. - There were neighborhoods with good crowd support such as Edgewater, Ohio City, Tremont, downtown and the last half mile. But it was quiet much of the rest of the time. There's not much going on St. Clair Avenue except for some peppy music before East 13th Street as you're struggling to finish. The Bad - Out of control of marathon organizers - but potholes, potholes and potholes. You'll see the winter and years of Cleveland's lack of funds for capital improvements have taken their toll on its roads. Some roads are better than others. I nearly twisted my ankle on West 44th Street on Mile 8. The 16-year-old running prodigy Alana Hadley injured her hamstring on a pothole downtown around the half marathon mark. After you leave the Shoreway at Mile 4, you have to concentrate on the road ahead of you the rest of the course to avoid getting your foot ensnared in uneven pavement. This can't be remedied without tens to hundreds of millions of dollars spent by the city, and the organizers can't do anything short of moving the course out of Cleveland. - The weather - For the second year in a row, it got too hot, reaching the 80s by noon. People were struggling after the clouds parted at the two-hour mark. Prepare to adjust your pace and let go of that goal if this happens again in 2014. I carried 32 ounces of water and that still wasn't enough.
This is my sixth time running the Cleveland full marathon. Many good benefits of the race: 1) nice medal 2) nice shirt 3) many aid stations of very thoughtful volunteers 4) GU at two locations handed to the runners with announcement of the flavor...very helpful 5) It was very hot this year (as was last year) and there were folks with hoses from about mile 15 on (very, very helpful) 6) packet pickup was easy and well organized 7) lots of good vendors, so, while I usually don't stay at an expo long, I always look around and shop at Cleveland expo 8) First half of marathon is very shady which is nice. 9) Second half of marathon not quite as nice but it does have about three miles down Martin Luther King Boulevard, which is nice. 10) Course patrol was excellent. 11) Lots of police and medical on course which is reassuring. 12) Ice cold chocolate mile at finish...awesome Another nice job, Cleveland!
While I didn't run in 2012, my comments seem to echo there's no seeding in corrals lead to a cluster as many halfers and fulls for that matter were way in front of where they should have been. Course is unscenic although starting and ending at browns stadium was nice. The roads were pothole central. Any med director who is ok with water stops at 2 to 2.5 intervals after mile 15 is an idiot. It was very hot and while that's beyond their control, water stops every mile is not. I myself saw 2 people passed out on side of the road. I heard there were many others. The spectators...wait were there any? Just being funny and realizing it's beyond their control but the spectators were downright deplorable. The volunteers were great however. I'm surprised Cleveland couldn't put something better together. It's not awful but realizing this was their 36th year how long does it take to get it right. The pig and Columbus are much better in every single way.
It pains me to post this because I am from Ohio, but I have run this marathon 2 years in a row, and both times have been disappointed. On the positive, the spectators are very supportive (although sparse in the second half, but that is the case in pretty much every marathon not named New York or Boston) and the volunteers are amazing. On the negative side: 1. Both times I've run this marathon, I've had to weave through traffic in a section of the marathon. This year, there was a driver trying to make a green light racing through the runners. (Last year, I saw a wheelchair racer weaving in the traffic and I was doing the same) 2. This year, there were a couple of us runners that took a wrong turn because some spectators were standing in front of the sign, and the course official wasn't paying attention. After I ran by 20 meters or so, a fan yelled at me to turn around. Unfortunately, there was a runner way in front of me and I don't know if he got the message. 3. The heat was an issue both years. This is obviously out of the control of the race director, but it is another reason I'm going to avoid this race. The people are amazing that put on this marathon. Everyone I came into contact with was nice and very helpful. I just feel there are a few logistical issues that need to be adjusted.

3 TB drives, Fusion = no bootcamp
Hello all
I'm trying to decipher what I've been reading recently. There seems to be varying opinions on whether the 3tb drives will be partionable, and therefore bootcampable. I understand the fusion drive likely will not be partitioned due to the nature of it. I am buying my first fully spec'd out 27" ASAP but was hoping to bootcamp the hdd to allow for some windows gaming etc. I've heard the 1tb hdd is an option since its below the 2.2TB limit for bootcamp/partition. What isn't clear is whether the 1tb with fusion is an option. Can anyone advise? |

According to the knowledgebase article at Apple.com, 1TB Fusion Drives can have one partition added, and it will be entirely on the HDD portion. You can install Bootcamp/Windows on this partition.

I do not see why you would not be able to put it on the HDD partition either. Should be workable.

Black Butterflies: Ingrid Jonker, From a Cocoon of Darkness
The trenches of South Africa in the 1960s, in the grip of apartheid—the equivalent of the American Civil War fought on foreign soil—continue to provide fertile material for movies fueled by the flames of morality, conscience and the struggle for human rights. Along the way, new heroes are discovered and old oversights corrected. The latest is Black Butterflies, a footnote to history about the rebellious, courageous and tragic life of South African poet Ingrid Jonker (triumphantly played by Carice van Houten, the rangy, riveting Dutch star who skyrocketed to world acclaim in Paul Verhoeven's World War II saga, Black Book). She's not the only person to defy the government and speak out against racism during apartheid, but her story is unique because the odds she faced to improve conditions and ameliorate the fate of the disgraced country she loved were overwhelming. As the daughter of Abraham Jonker, the powerful, mean-spirited minister of censorship, she had no one to turn to for approval. Read More

This is the time to feast on the bountiful array of fall-harvested vegetables-squash and potatoes, pumpkins and beets, carrots, parsnips, apples, and pomegranates. In the recipe below, dates add a surprising sweetness to roasted vegetables, a cold-weather favorite. Try experimenting with the squash recipe—it works wonderfully with a variety of squashes, including butternut, buttercup, kabocha, and delicata. These are both great go-to recipes for holiday dinners.

DETROIT (AP) -- Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says she's confident a troubled federal website will work much better by month's end so people can sign up for health insurance.
Sebelius visited a Detroit health center on Friday to reassure the public about website and discuss how to enroll. She told reporters a "small number" of people are seeing their policies canceled in the "grand scheme" of the overall insurance marketplace, but for them it's a real concern.
President Barack Obama says his administration no longer will require insurers to jettison plans that fall short of minimum coverage standards.
Sebelius says many people with canceled policies will choose better private insurance on the website. But she says the last thing Obama wants is people without coverage.

text: Do you want sprouts with that? 02 August 12 by Frederick Kaufman Tweet James Wojcik This article was taken from the September 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.The big dude with the tattoos and the bad case of five o'clock shadow served roasted kabocha squash, organic Brussels sprouts, and free-range chicken breast. None of this would have been notable had the dish been prepared by just another hipster chef, during just another lunch hour here among the food-obsessed in Palo Alto, California. But this dish was something else. It was the future.We had come to the artisanally fed vale of Facebook and Tesla to sample the first fruits of Lyfe Kitchen, a soon-to-be-chain of restaurants that might just shift the calculus of American cuisine. At Lyfe Kitchen (the name is an acronym for Love Your Food Everyday), all the biscuits shall be dairy-free, all the beef from grass-fed, humanely raised cows. There shall be no butter, no cream, no white sugar, no white flour, no high-fructose corn syrup, no GMOs, no trans fats, no additives and no need for alarm: there will still be plenty of burgers. Lyfe's ambition is to open hundreds of restaurants initially across the US.For the moment the only Lyfe Kitchen is here on Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto. It opened less than a year ago as a sort of prototype. But imagine, in five years' time, tens of millions of local, sustainable gourmet meals, served with the efficiency and economy of a fast-food chain. There is one overriding reason to believe that this venture will work. The cofounder and chief executive of Lyfe is Mike Roberts, former president and chief operating officer of McDonald's. He and some of his erstwhile McDonald's colleagues have bet a few million dollars that an eco-embracing, mega-natural startup will blaze the trail to their rightful share of the billions and billions served by Burger King or KFC. Lyfe's aim is not just to build a radically sustainable, healthy brand of fast food. The former Golden Archers hope to transform the way the world produces organic ingredients, doing for responsibly grown meat and veg what McDonald's did for factory-farmed beef. Responsible agriculture is currently premised on a return to small and slow. If Roberts is right, though, we'll have to swallow a paradox as preposterous as a vegan Whopper: the nirvana of eco-gastronomy may be attained, but only thanks to the efficiencies of supply-chain management.

Gun Control and Collectivism in America?
Despite President Obama's massive effort to get new gun control legislation passed, the Democrat controlled Senate voted it down on Wednesday, April 17. But don't expect the issue to go away. Gun control remains a hot-button issue in the United States.No one wants our children subjected to gun violence. However, others worry about our constitutional rights being trampled in the process, which also results in violence to our children.
Bubble guns, Lego guns, Nerf guns, paper guns, and pointing fingers causing hysteria in schools across America
Ever since the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary, the typical reason given by gun control advocates for more legislation has been "to protect our children from gun violence." No one wants our children subjected to gun violence. However, others worry about our constitutional rights being trampled in the process, which also results in violence to our children.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid referred to people in this group as "conspiracy theorists who believe in black helicopters and false flags." Vice President Biden said something similar. In the Rose Garden, minutes after the Senate vote, President Obama assured the American people that this bill did not infringe on our constitutional rights; and he called those who feared that it did and who lobbied against it, liars.
But gun control advocates have given cause for legitimate concern about our constitutional rights. President Obama once indicated that he did not like the constraints that the Founding Fathers placed in the Constitution. He called it a "charter of negative liberties," and he complained that it only says what the federal government can't do (as it should). The entertainer, Jay Mohr, gave us a more recent example when he used the horrible bombing on April 15 at the Boston Marathon to promote his views on gun control.
He tweeted the following: "What bothers me most about today is that we're getting used 2 it. ENOUGH. 2nd amendment must go. Violence has 2 stop. Culture MUST change." I find it difficult to see a meaningful connection between the bombing and gun control, but the important point, for our immediate purpose, is his reference to the Second Amendment.
Not long after the Sandy Hook massacre, CBS aired a segment called "Let's Give Up On The Constitution." The segment featured a commentary by Louis Michael Seidman, a law professor at Georgetown University. It was based on a highly politicized, relativistic view of American history and the Constitution. I have included a video of the CBS segment at the top of this page. Please take a moment and watch it.
On the other hand, Edward J. Erler, a professor of political science at California State University, San Bernardino, does not see history through a relativistic lens. Neither does he see the Constitution as an evolving document. He gave a lecture on the Second Amendment at Hillsdale College, which was published in the March issue of Imprimis. I believe it clearly explains why there is so much controversy surrounding the issue of gun control.
The Second Amendment states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Each of the first ten amendments (Bill of Rights) to the Constitution mentions a specific right of the people. The Second Amendment is unique because it also mentions a reason for the right.
The reason is that militias are "necessary to the security of a free state." This reason is based on two factors: that militias are made up of citizen-soldiers as opposed to professionally trained soldiers; and the belief that "whenever governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia."
Erler then explains that the term "free state" is not about states' rights in the sense that we understand states' rights today. Rather, its common understanding in 18th century political discourse had to do with a country being free from tyrannical rule.
The professor also explains that one of the key questions being asked today is whether the right to "keep and bear arms" is an individual right or a collective right. Erler says that the Framers of the Constitution were not familiar with the idea of collective rights. And James Madison said that the Bill of Rights "relate [first] . . . to private rights."
Erler also notes that the justification for government is based on a social compact made up of individuals who want to form a political society in order that their rights and interests may be under the safeguard of the whole."
Moreover, it is understood that these rights are not created by government, that they exist by nature; however, governments are necessary to secure them. In this way, each person secures equal protection for their individual rights, "while at the same time incurring the obligation to protect the rights of their fellow citizens."
In this respect, Erler concludes that "the people are a militia, formed for the mutual protection of equal rights." Thus, all the individuals comprising the civilian population, the whole people, constitute the militia. And "disarming the people dissolves their moral and political existence."
Erler then goes on to say that the idea of collective rights was an invention of the "Progressive founders of the administrative state, who were engaged in a self-conscious effort to supplant the principles of limited government embodied in the Constitution." They also rejected the idea that rights were derived from human nature or God. They claimed that there was no permanent human nature, only evolving social conditions.
In addition, they believed the idea that rights were grounded in human nature was an "enemy of collective welfare which should always take precedence over the rights of individuals." The Progressives further believed that welfare not liberty is the "primary object of government, and government should always be in the hands of experts."
Therefore, "no individual should be responsible for the defense of himself and his family, but should leave it to the experts. The idea of individual responsibilities, along with that of individual rights, is in fact incompatible with the Progressive vision of the common welfare."
This kind of thinking was alien to the Founders. As Erler noted above, they believed that the purpose of government was to secure the rights of individuals, and that such rights must be accompanied by responsibility for oneself and for the common good. It is these incompatible beliefs that, Erler says, is the "real origin of today's gun control hysteria."
Lest we think Erler's emphasis on collectivism is exaggerated, we only need to recall a recent comment made by Melissa Harris-Perry: "We haven't had a very collective notion of, these are our children. We have to break through our private idea that children belong to their parents, or children belong to their families, and recognize that children belong to whole communities."
When I heard Perry's comment, I thought about the relationship between collectivism and Marxism, and its tragic failures in communist societies. Then my thoughts turned closer to home. I recalled the horror stories coming out of our elementary schools since Sandy Hook. Weren't they an example of what collectivism looks like in America today? With that thought in mind, I have included some of them below.
December 20, 2012, was a bad day for 6-year-old Rodney Lynch at Roscoe R. Nix Elementary in Maryland. It had been less than a week since the Sandy Hook massacre. He was sent to the principal's office three times that day "for pretending his fingers were scissors and then a gun."
School administrators questioned him about his home life. They wanted to know if anyone in his family owned a gun. They wanted to know the names of all the video games he owned. In the end, the school accused him of "threatening to shoot a student" for making a gun gesture with his hand and saying "pow," and they suspended him.
Rodney has not even reached the age of reason (7 years old), and his reputation has been smeared. This accusation is now part of Rodney's permanent school record. His parents have had to hire an attorney as a result of this incident. They hope to get this incident expunged from their little boy's record, though it may cost them thousands of dollars in legal fees.
A 5-year-old little girl was accused of a similar crime on January 10 at Mount Carmel Elementary in Pennsylvania. According to the attorney her parents hired, the little girl told her classmates she was going to shoot them and herself with a "Hello Kitty Bubble Gun." The gun blows soap bubbles. School officials questioned the 5-year-old girl for three hours without the parents knowledge. And they told her she could go to jail.
She was initially suspended for 10 days and accused of a "terrorist threat." The suspension was later reduced, and the charge on her permanent record was reduced from a terrorist threat to a "threat to harm others." But before she was allowed to go back to school, she had to submit to psychological testing. The mother said the child has been very upset since the incident.
On January 30, Naomi McKinney, a 6-year-old student at Alice Drive Elementary School in Sumter, SC, was expelled because she brought a clear plastic gun to school for show and tell. Naomi is not allowed on school property. If Naomi is in the car when her parents pick up her siblings from school, they have to park off school property. If she is caught trespassing, she is subject to criminal charges. According to the Sumter School District, they are merely creating a safe and secure environment.
Melody Valentin, a fifth-grade student in South Philadelphia, was yelled at by an administrator, searched and threatened with arrest in front of her classmates for bringing a piece of paper shaped like a gun to school. It was given to her by her grandfather, and she put it in her pocket.
As a result, her classmates have called her a murderer, and she is having nightmares. Her mother says, "I'm waking up at three o'clock in the morning and my daughter's in the bathroom crying . . . . I don't want my child in that school."
Five-year-old Joseph Cardosa was threatened with suspension by school officials at Hyannis West Elementary School in Cape Cod, Massachusetts for making a toy gun with Lego blocks and using it inappropriately during after-school care. In response to the incident, the school principal said, "we need a safe environment for our students . . . . While someone might think that making a Lego gun is just an action of a 5-year-old, to other 5-year-olds, that might be a scary experience."
This past February, second grader Josh Welch was suspended for two days because his teacher thought Josh shaped his toaster pastry into a gun as he ate it and then said "Bang, bang" while holding the pastry.
Another boy, 7-year-old Alex Evans, was indefinitely kicked out of Mary Blair Elementary School in Loveland, Colorado because he threw an imaginary grenade at a box while playing a game he called "rescue the world." Alex said, "I was trying to save people and I just can't believe I got 'dispended.'" But according to school policy, no child is allowed to engage in imaginary fighting or use imaginary weapons.
What's more, these examples cannot be blamed on Sandy Hook alone. They represent a systemic attitude toward the children. There are many other examples that reflect this systemic attitude, but I will only mention two.
Last April, a 6-year-old girl, Salecia Johnson, had a tantrum at Creekside Elementary School in Baldwin County, Georgia. As a result, she was handcuffed by the police and taken to the police station. According to the school, they called the police because they were concerned for the safety of "the student, other classmates, and the school staff."
A similar thing happened to an 8-year-old girl at Love Joy Elementary School in Alton, Illinois last month. Jmyha Rickman had a tantrum, and the school called the police. In her case, the police reportedly cuffed her hands and feet. Then they took her to a juvenile center and held her for two hours.
These are precious, innocent children! Most of them have not even reached the age of reason! Yet they are being accused and abused by the very people we trust to care for them! This is the kind of thing that happened in Nazi Germany and communist Russia! Our children cannot thrive in such a hostile environment! No one can! It is insane, and it is evil!
Furthermore, these examples are just the tip of the iceberg. The same attitude reflected in these examples haunts our children as they enter high school, college, the work force, and society at large. Although I would not attribute it to just one thing, I believe this attitude has a name--collectivism. Thus, I see collectivism as a kind of institutional or bureaucratic violence that is crushing our children and our young adults.
Consequently, for me, gun control is about much more than protecting our children from gun violence. I welcome responsible legislation, but it must also respect our constitutional rights in the process. And if our leaders trample on our rights, then we the people need to recall our obligation under the social compact that our forefathers made to secure our rights, and we need to remove our leaders from office.
For us Catholics, though, it is not just about a social compact. It is also about a Covenant. At times like these we not only need to unite with our fellow Americans, we also need to unite with our Lord. We do this when we unite our suffering to the Cross of Christ. This gives us courage, and it gives us hope. It may even help us turn sorrow into joy.
Michael Terheyden was born into a Catholic family, but that is not why he is a Catholic. He is a Catholic because he believes that truth is real, that it is beautiful and good, and that the fullness of truth is in the Catholic Church. However, he knows that God's grace operating throughout his life is the main reason he is a Catholic. He is greatly blessed to share his faith and his life with his beautiful wife, Dorothy. They have four grown children and three grandchildren.

Excellent article. Thank you. I was however looking for a clearer illustration of the statement in the title about VP Biden. But then again, why waste the space...
The arrogance of those in favor of the swelling collectivist movement we are seeing is only matched by their ignorance. Where would Siedman be without the protections of our constitution? His argument is flippant and sadly ironic: who is supposed to choose which parts of the constitution matter enough to hold onto? Let's take a guess: the same "experts" who are selling us Obamacare and its trampling of religious freedom?
Our youth are being collectively educated into looking at the world through the skewed lens of these experts. As frightening as the examples of school discipline sited here may be (truly staggering), this is only the tip of the iceberg. And the "Catholic" institutions of learning have led the march. (Note the ivory tower from which Mr. Siedman preaches.)
I'm saddened that the Church has waded into this issue: our Bishops couldn't raise their voices over the horrors of Kermit Gosnell, but you can sure hear them in this issue. I continue to pray the Holy Spirit can guide all of us to genuine truth and action worthy of our calling. -

Thank you for printing this. For those of us defending the 2nd Amendment, we clearly know that "gun control's" real intent is "people control". Those trying to strip us of our last freedoms are more interested in protecting themselves from the people, not protecting people, as they claim. If those so interested in "saving children" were sincere about their motives, there wouldn't be two to three thousand abortions a day, which they support.

What next cutlery knifes? That debate is already taking place in the Great Britain. Since guns are banned crimes are being committed with knifes, and now there is talk of banning cutlery knifes. The utopia world that, "Central Planners", fantasize living in will never exist no matter how much control of our lives we hand over to our government officials.
I do not own a gun and that is my choice. -
