"The Camping Fork"
April 20, 2011 - Jennifer Brookens
*An excerpt from my family's memoirs of helping care for my father as he suffered from dementia*
April 2011: "Should I put the camping fork with the rest of the forks," I asked my mom as I tried to help her with the dishes from Sunday dinner. "Yeah, just put them all together," she said. "I thought I sold all the camping equipment, but that piece was obviously separated." "The Camping Fork," as I referred to it, had a thick, smooth black handle that was heavy duty. I remembered we had four forks and four spoons (maybe four butter knives) but they were only used when we were out camping along with the pots and pans that went with our little Coleman portable grill, and the plastic plates with the blue cornflowers on them. Not to mention the tents and sleeping bags, the motor boat, the canoe. All considered our "camping gear." All just memories for us now. Sold when we knew we couldn't go camping with Daddy anymore.
It was spring 2004, and to borrow a quote from Charles Dickens, it was the best and worst of times. I was a new Mommy, but we were losing my father to severe dementia. Ever since my husband and I moved to Minnesota shortly after we graduated from college, we'd been trying to find our way back closer to both our parents. But the job situation never fully cooperated. Then came our first child, our daughter, in 2003. And my dad did something some experts believe was impossible. He bonded with her. He fell in love. We had barely left the hospital when my mom was asking about how much real estate was in the area. Six months later, my mom was preparing to take early retirement and move to Truman. Memorial Day weekend 2004, the three of us headed back to Casper, Wyoming to what I could call home for one last time. We would be bringing one of my parent's vehicles back with us, and loading up what we could. And going through all my stuff I'd accumulated the first 20-some years of my life.
Picking through and discarding stuff you've had for decades is tough enough, but it was even worse with my father's dementia. Not only was it impossible to explain to him what was going on, but he was already deeply paranoid about people "stealing" from him. It was our job to distract him as my mother sold off the boat. My poor mother was so stressed. She told me about how my dad had hit a man who had come to one of the garage sales. (Luckily, the garage saler understood the circumstances, and didn't pick a fight. Also no bad injuries). So in the chaos of things, my feelings of cleaning out my childhood/teenage/early college years were pushed to the backburner as I took a deep breath (musty and dusty as it was) and started saving and pitching. I said goodbye to the wardrobe I thought I was soooo fat for wearing, but would kill to be that size today (especially since the 80s are making a comeback). I saved the collection of hardback children's books for my own children (except for a few that were loved too much and were falling apart). A chest full of toys I hadn't laid eyes on since the last move when I was 13 was sadly cast aside. A lost stack of love letters from a past summer romance was read with hindsight, and I was content enough to throw them away. And some embarrassing college party photos were quickly trashed when someone came over and wanted to see them.
I was also saying goodbye to the house I knew as "home." I remember pulling out of the driveway and glimpsing at it in my rearview mirror. Then as I hit the end of the driveway, I saw the dog sitting next to several full trash bags. He had been part of a game I got for Christmas one year called, "My Dog Has Fleas." The fleas, of course, were long gone. The sad, plastic bloodhound looked dejected as I pulled away. And the tears for the "official" end of my childhood home came. But they only lasted to the end of the block, as my daughter squaked from her carseat in the back. It was a reminder that the car (and the car behind me) held the things important enough to bring along to the next chapter in our lives.

Three and Out - So crazy it just might work, or just plain crazy?
- Details
- by Zach Barnett 1 year ago
1. The NFL Draft as we know it is about to be long gone. Its fallen back one month on the schedule and because of that, the NFL could be saying goodbye to the Radio City Music Hall. A scheduling conflict could force the NFL, according to Don Banks of SI.com, out of New York and into three different cities at once for the 2015 Draft. The first round would be held in Chicago on Thursday night, rounds two and three would be held in Detroit on Friday night and the final four rounds would take place in Minneapolis. The Draft would then move to different divisional hosts (for example, San Diego-Oakland-Denver or Cincinnati-Cleveland-Pittsburgh) in the years following. So crazy it just might work, or just plain crazy?
2. If there's two things college football will never run short on, its bowl games and awards. We already touched on the possibility of new bowl games this week and, as if on cue, there's a new award on the scene as well. The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award will be given to college football's best offensive player with ties to the state of Texas. A player could hail from Texas but play college abroad (Andrew Luck), stop in Texas for a stay in junior college (Cam Newton) or, obviously, stay in Texas through high school and college (Robert Griffin III and Johnny Manziel). With names like that as recent examples, this new award looks to have a lot in common with a certain stiffarm trophy awarded every December.
3. If there's anything more pointless than college football point spreads in June, it's definitely college football recruiting rankings in June. With that said, we felt it necessary to point out that, for undoubtedly the first time in history, both Kentucky and Baylor are in the Top 10 of both Rivals' and 247Sports' team rankings. What a difference a head coach makes.

Women's Soccer Sits Tied for 10th in Latest NSCAA Southeast Region Poll
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Two days after winning its second-straight Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament crown, the Florida Gulf Coast University women's soccer team sits tied for 10th in the latest NSCAA/Continental Tire Southeast Regional Ranking, announced Tuesday.
This marks the fourth time this season and third-straight week that the Eagles have been ranked in the Southeast Regional poll. In the six-year history of the program, the Green and Blue have received votes on three occasions.
FGCU went 2-0 last week with wins over Jacksonville and Mercer to claim the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament title for the second straight year. Freshman Ally Kasun's (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield HS) goal in 93rd minute of overtime gave the top-seeded FGCU women's soccer team a 1-0 victory over second-seed Mercer in the championship game.
Sophomore Shannen Wacker (Parker, Colo./Ponderosa HS) leads the team with 25 points and 11 goals this season. Senior defender Ashley Ciesielczyk (Oregon, Ohio/Clay HS) has tallied a team-high 11 assists in 20 games for the Eagles.
Freshman keeper Brittany Brown (Rochester, N.Y./Greece Athena HS) has started the last 18 games in goal for the Eagles, holding a 13-2-3 record on the season with a 0.58 goals-against average and has tallied seven shutouts.
Topping the Southeast Regional rankings is Virginia at 16-4-1. Florida State took the second spot with Maryland and Wake Forest holding the third and fourth spots, respectively.
FGCU will take on Florida in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. The game is scheduled to kick-off Friday at 3 p.m. in Gainesville, Fla. at the James G. Pressly Stadium.

Hürrem Sultan (Turkish pronunciation: [hyɾˈɾem suɫˈtaːn], Ottoman Turkish: خرم سلطان; c. 1500 – 18 April 1558; fully: Devletlu İsmetlu Hürrem Haseki Sultan Aliyyetü'ş-Şân Hazretleri; birthname unknown, according to later traditions either Alexandra Lisowska/La Rossa or Anastasia[3]), also known as Roxelana, was the favorite consort and later the legal wife of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and the mother of Şehzade Mehmed, Mihrimah Sultan, Şehzade Abdullah, Sultan Selim II, Şehzade Bayezid and Şehzade Cihangir of the Ottoman Empire.[4] She was one of the most powerful and influential women in Ottoman history and a prominent figure during the era known as the Sultanate of Women. She achieved power and influenced the politics of the Ottoman Empire through her husband and played an active role in state affairs of the Empire.[5]
She was known mainly as Haseki Hürrem Sultan or Hürrem Haseki Sultan; also known as Roxolena, Roxolana, Roxelane, Rossa, Ružica; in Turkish as Hürrem (from Persian: خرم Khurram, "the cheerful one"); and in Arabic as Karima (Arabic: كريمة, "the noble one"). "Roxelana" might be not a proper name but a nickname, referring to her Ukrainian heritage (cf. the common contemporary name "Ruslana"); "Roxolany" or "Roxelany" was one of the names of Ukrainians, up to the 15th century, after the ancient Roxolani. Thus her nickname would literally mean "The Ruthenian One".[citation needed]
Early life[edit]
Modern sources do not contain information on Roxelana's childhood, limiting themselves to a mention of her Ukrainian origin. In the middle of the 16th century, the ambassador of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the Crimean khanate Mikhalon Lytvyn in the composition of 1548–1551 "About customs of Tatars, Lithuanians and Moscow" (Latin: De moribus tartarorum, lituanorum et moscorum) at the description of trade specifies that "[...] the most beloved wife of the present Turkish emperor - mother of his primogenital [son] who will govern after him, was kidnapped from our land".[6]
According to late 16th-century and early 17th-century sources, such as the Polish poet Samuel Twardowski (died 1661), who researched the subject in Turkey, Hürrem was seemingly born to a father who was a Ukrainian Orthodox priest.[7][8][9] She was born in the town of Rohatyń, 68 km southeast of Lviv, a major city of the Ruthenian Voivodeship in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland (today in Western Ukraine).[9] In the 1520s Crimean Tatars captured her during one of their frequent raids into this region, took her as a slave (probably first to the Crimean city of Kaffa, a major centre of the slave trade, then to Constantinople) and selected her for Suleiman's harem.[7][9]
Life with the Sultan[edit]
She quickly came to the attention of her master, and attracted the jealousy of her rivals. She soon proved to be Suleiman's favorite consort or Haseki Sultan. Hürrem's influence over the Sultan soon became legendary. She was to bear the majority of Suleiman's children and in an astonishing break with tradition, she was eventually freed. Breaking with two centuries of Ottoman tradition,[10] a former concubine had thus become the legal wife of the Sultan, much to the astonishment of observers in the palace and the city.[11] It made Suleiman the first Ottoman emperor to have a wed wife since Orhan Gazi and strengthened Hürrem's position in the palace and eventually led to one of her sons, Selim, inheriting the empire.
In the Istanbul harem, Hürrem Sultan was a very influential rival for Mahidevran Sultan. Hürrem gave birth to her first son Mehmed in 1521 (who died in 1543) and then four more sons, destroying Mahidevran's status of being the mother of the sultan's only son.[12] The rivalry between the two women was partially suppressed by Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, Suleiman's mother,[13] but after her death in 1534, as a result of the bitter rivalry a fight between the two women broke out, with Mahidevran beating Hürrem. This angered Suleiman, who subsequently sent Mahidevran to live with her son, Şehzade Mustafa, in the provincial capital of Manisa. This exile was shown officially as the traditional training of heir apparents, Sanjak Beyliği. Many years later, towards the end of Suleiman's long reign, the rivalry between his sons became evident. Furthermore, both Hürrem Sultan and the grand vizier Rüstem Pasha (Hürrem's son-in-law) turned him against Mustafa and Mustafa was accused of causing unrest. During the campaign against Safavid Persia in 1553, because of a fear of rebellion, Sultan Suleiman ordered the execution of Mustafa.[14] After the death of Mustafa, Mahidevran Gülbahar lost her state in the palace (as being the mother of the heir apparent) and moved to Bursa.[12]
Suleiman also allowed Hürrem Sultan to remain with him at court for the rest of her life, breaking another tradition—that when imperial heirs came of age, they would be sent along with the imperial concubine who bore them to govern remote provinces of the Empire; the concubines were never to return unless their progeny succeeded to the throne (Sanjak Beyliği).[15] Hürrem also acted as Suleiman's advisor on matters of state, and seems to have had an influence upon foreign affairs and international politics.[5] Two of her letters to King Sigismund II Augustus of Poland have been preserved, and during her lifetime, the Ottoman Empire generally had peaceful relations with the Polish state within a Polish–Ottoman alliance.
Under his pen name, Muhibbi, Sultan Suleiman composed this poem for Hürrem Sultan:
"Throne of my lonely niche, my wealth, my love, my moonlight.
My most sincere friend, my confidant, my very existence, my Sultan, my one and only love.I, lover of the tormented heart, Muhibbi of the eyes full of tears, I am happy."[16]
The most beautiful among the beautiful...
My springtime, my merry faced love, my daytime, my sweetheart, laughing leaf...
My plants, my sweet, my rose, the one only who does not distress me in this world...
My Constantinople, my Caraman, the earth of my Anatolia
My Badakhshan, my Baghdad and Khorasan
My woman of the beautiful hair, my love of the slanted brow, my love of eyes full of mischief...
I'll sing your praises always
Aside from her political concerns, Hürrem engaged in several major works of public buildings, from Mecca to Jerusalem, perhaps modeling her charitable foundations in part after the caliph Harun al-Rashid's consort Zubaida. Among her first foundations were a mosque, two Koranic schools (madrassa), a fountain, and a women's hospital near the women's slave market (Avret Pazary) in Constantinople. She commissioned a bath, the Haseki Hürrem Sultan Hamamı, to serve the community of worshippers in the nearby Hagia Sophia. In Jerusalem she established in 1552 the Haseki Sultan Imaret, a public soup kitchen to feed the poor and the needy.
As well, some of her embroidery, or at least that done under her supervision, has survived, examples being given in 1547 to Tahmasp I, the Shah of Iran, and in 1549 to King Sigismund II Augustus.
Esther Handali acted as her secretary and intermediary on several occasions.
Hürrem Sultan died on 18 April 1558 and was buried in a domed mausoleum (türbe) decorated in exquisite Iznik tiles depicting the garden of paradise, perhaps in homage to her smiling and joyful nature.[17] Her mausoleum is adjacent to Suleiman's, a separate and more somber domed structure, at the Süleymaniye Mosque.
Hürrem Haseki Sultan, or Roxelana, is well-known both in modern Turkey and in the West, and is the subject of many artistic works. In 1561, three years after Hürrem's death, the French author Gabriel Bounin wrote a tragedy titled La Soltane about the role of Hürrem Sultan in Mustafa's death.[18] This tragedy marks the first time the Ottomans were introduced on stage in France.[19] She has inspired paintings, musical works (including Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 63), an opera by Denys Sichynsky, a ballet, plays, and several novels written mainly in Ukrainian, but also in English, French, and German.
In early modern Spain, she appears or is alluded to in works by Quevedo and other writers as well as in a number of plays by Lope de Vega. In a play entitled The Holy League, Titian appears on stage at the Venetian Senate, and stating that he has just come from visiting the Sultan, displays his painting of Sultana Rossa or Roxelana.[20]
In 2007, Muslims in Mariupol, a port city in Ukraine, opened a mosque to honor Roxelana.[21]
In the TV series Muhteşem Yüzyıl, Hürrem Sultan is portrayed by Turkish-German actress Meryem Uzerli and at the series last season she is portrayed by Turkish actress Vahide Perçin.

Powerful Democrat Donne Trotter was flying out of O'Hare Wednesday morning when TSA agents found a handgun and bullets.
Sources tell FOX 32 News that the TSA called the feds first and told them what was going on. The FBI said the veteran state senator should not be charged with a federal crime.
But when TSA called Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez's office, sources say, charges against Trotter were quickly filed.
State Senator Donne Trotter was arrested and booked around 8 o'clock at O'Hare International Airport.
Trotter was going through TSA's security when a unloaded .25 caliber handgun and a 6-bullet clip was found in his black carry-on bag.
Sources say the senator told TSA agents that he had been working the night before and didn't realize the weapon was in his bag.
Those agents, sources say, immediately called the FBI. When the feds were told who was carrying the handgun and that it was registered and trotter was carrying his permit, sources say the feds said "let him go".
Moments later, sources say, the Cook County States Attorney's office was called and when that office found out that a "known" public official was involved, State Senator Donne Trotter was put in handcuffs.
The senator is one of the leading contenders in the 2nd congressional race to replace former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.
Trotter and some of the other candidates were on FOX 32 Sunday morning. Trotter talked about his political experience and integrity.
"It's about one who has proven, looked at, and also understood proven leadership in the district," Trotter said.
People in that district are talking about what they call "Trotter's mistake."
"Mistakes happen, but I don't forget when I carry my gun with me," one person said.
"I mean, I would have to hope that that part is true," another person said. "I mean TSA is so strict, you would have to think, you know, you would have to think that that was most definitely an error---an accident."
Trotter will be transported from the jail Thursday morning and will appear in bond court at 26th and California just before noon.

Mature Learners Go Back To School
This winter, half a dozen "mid-lifers" stepped out and went back to school. A mixture of more mature students found joining "college-aged" students for a regular Providence College course to be an exhilarating experience. All found "Religion and Society: Social Scientific Perspectives" taught by Dr. Dennis Hiebert, Professor of Sociology, at the Eastman Education Centre in Steinbach, to be even more rewarding than they had hoped. Some took the course for credit, and the rest audited it, just listening in and reading along.

iOS - Multiple live video streaming
Just a question about iOS live video streaming.
If I had four live videos streaming onto a iPad app at the same time, can I have audio playing on one video with the other containing no audio track? I realise you can't mute the live audio track in iOS so I'm wondering if pulling no audio tracks is possible.
I know this would be possible with VOD but not sure with live video.
I'm hoping this can be achieved without third party software.

NICOSIA-- Cyprus residential prices in the second quarter of 2012 marked the steepest decline since 2010 Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) figures released Tuesday show. The CBC estimates that the correction path on property prices that began in the third quarter of 2008, will continue in the short-term. The Residential Property Prices Index (houses and apartments) complied by the CBC for Q2 2012 to 90.3 units recording a decline of 2% compared to Q1 2012. Year on year Property Price Index marked a reduction of 5.9% which is biggest annual reduction in the last two years. Houses prices marked an annual decline of 6.5% and apartment prices a decline of 5.1%. On a quarterly basis Cyprus-wide house prices declined by 2.2% and apartment prices registered a reduction of 2.2%.
The highest quarterly reduction was recorded in the eastern coastal district of Famagusta district with house prices declining by 4.4% and 3.7% in apartments. The western district of Pafos recorded the lowest decline of 0.4% for apartments and 0.5% in houses. The stabilizing figures in the western district are attributed to the increase in property purchases both from Cypriot residents as well as non-residents. In the capital, Nicosia, quarterly apartment prices decelerated by 1.1% and house prices by 1.8%.
On an annual basis Famagusta recorded the highest drop in both apartment prices (-8,2%) as well as house prices that dropped by 12.7%. Limassol registered the lowest annual decline with 3.6% apartment's prices while Nicosia followed with 4.6%.
The annual reduction in property prices (both apartments and houses) in the districts of Famagusta and Larnaca (11 and 8% respectively) were the highest ever recorded.
However, figures recorded by Department of Lands and Surveys show that the number of contracts increased by 1.6% year on year, recording an annual increase for a second consecutive quarter. The number of sale contracts concerning Cypriot residents reached 1.409 compared with 1.321 while contracts by non residents declined by 11.4% (449 transactions compared with 507).
"In the short-term the housing market is expected to continue its correction path under way since the 2008 third quarter, according to the Consumer and Business Survey published by the European Commission," the CBC concludes.

FORT MEADE—A military judge has again refused to throw out two of the 22 charges against an Army private charged in the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history.
Attorneys for Pfc. Bradley Manning argued earlier this week during a hearing at Fort Meade that two charges should be dropped. The judge overseeing the case, Col. Denise Lind, denied the request Wednesday. She agreed with military prosecutors it would be improper to drop the charges at this point.
Lawyers for Manning and the government Monday began a five-day hearing to discuss a number of issues in advance of his planned September trial.

Hedge Funds Bear Up Strong Compared to Mutual Funds - 06/19/01
NASSAU ? Hedge funds far outperform mutual funds and the S&P 500 in down markets, recently released data indicates.
During the 12 negative quarters for the S&P 500 Index over the last 13 ¼ years, the S&P 500 had a cumulative negative return of 62.72% and the average U.S. equity mutual fund lost 67.2% cumulatively, according to Van Hedge Fund Advisors. However, the average hedge fund had a cumulative negative return of just 0.4%.
?This data illustrates the ability of hedge funds to preserve capital in falling markets,? said Dion Friedland, founding president of the Hedge Fund Association and chairman of Magnum Funds. ?Hedge funds are extremely flexible in their investment options as compared to mutual funds and also carry strong performance incentives that attract many of the investment industry?s best managers.?
Hedge funds refer to funds that can use one or more alternative investment strategies, including selling short to hedge against market downturns, investing in asset classes such as arbitrage, currencies or distressed securities, and utilizing return-enhancing tools such as leverage and derivatives. These strategies and instruments, many of which are used to protect downside risk, are generally beyond the reach of mutual funds due to SEC regulations and disclosure requirements.
The result is illustrated in the following graph, which shows the extent to which hedge funds have protected themselves and outperformed US equities during each of the last 12 quarterly market downturns during the past 13 ¼ years._x000D_
The Hedge Fund Association is an international not-for-profit association of hedge fund managers, service providers, and investors formed to unite the hedge fund industry and foster better awareness of hedge funds. The organization?s soon-to-be re-launched website is at www.thehfa.org.
Hedge funds suffer from misperceptions about high risk and volatility fueled in
large part by media focus on sharp moves made by global macro hedge funds. Nonetheless, as Friedland points out, the vast majority of hedge funds make consistency of return, rather than magnitude, their primary goal.
There are approximately 5,000 hedge funds worldwide today, a number that has been growing rapidly over the past eight years. Nearly $7 billion flowed into hedge funds in the first quarter of 2001 ? almost as much new money as in the whole of 2000.
For more information on hedge funds, including how to join the HFA, please contact Friedland at email@example.com

We need to find news ways to connect and engage
As she begins her two-year term at the helm of the QUAA, the new president has some vital goals in mind both for herself and the organization.
When I had the pleasure of assuming the Presidency of the Queen's University Alumni Association (QUAA) in November, I was delighted that my first official duty was to serve as emcee for the Toronto Branch's John Orr Dinner, where Principal Emeritus Tom Williams, LLD'10, was honoured. It was a lovely full circle for me.
As a little girl, I always wanted to attend Queen's. I had alumni relatives on both sides of my family, including my dad, Rudy Joss, Sc'69, my paternal uncle, my maternal grandmother, my maternal uncle, and too many cousins to name. As well, my mom, Kingston-born, spent her first six years living at the corner of Collingwood Street and Union Street, and attended Victoria Public School (now the core of the School of Business); Queen's and Kingston are in my genes.
I enrolled at Queen's in 1992 and majored in History, but I spent much of my time involved in student affairs. As a frosh, I took part in the Queen's Model Parliament committee under the leadership of chair Raquel Fragoso Peters, Artsci'93. My appetite whetted, I got more involved in student politics, culminating in my term as AMS Vice-President University Affairs in 1995-96. That year, the AMS Executive worked closely with Tom Williams, LLD'09, who had recently stepped down as a Vice-Principal, but continued to be a strong student proponent and a personal mentor to me and others.
After graduating from Queen's, I studied at the U of T and then started my own Internet consulting firm in Toronto. I stayed connected with my Queen's friends, who had become my extended family, but I missed my involvement with the University.
My first opportunity to reconnect came because of my role in the Artsci'96 Permanent Year Executive's planning for our five-year reunion. The next opportunity came when I attended a Toronto Branch AGM with Sarah Renaud, Artsci'96. Sarah and I volunteered for the John Orr committee, and later with the Branch Executive. One of the things I love about being involved with the QUAA is the wide variety of graduates from all faculties and years you meet and work with. They are a fantastic group.
After several years of being involved with Toronto Branch, I was invited to join the Queen's University Alumni Association Board of Directors. I have no idea whom I have to thank for nominating me, but I owe them a big thank you.
When I joined the Board, it was busy with a strategic planning initiative and a structural reorganization. This made it an interesting time for me to learn the ropes. As my experience on the Board grew, so did the variety of roles I took on, including serving as co-organizer for the inaugural MiniU in 2008, and then becoming Executive V-P Communications. During the eight years that I've now served on the QUAA Board, I have had opportunities to give back to Queen's. I've also had many enriching experiences with other alumni, University staff, and members of the administration. Queen's attracts dynamic people. (But if you're reading this, then you likely already knew that.)
Last fall, several dedicated QUAA Board members concluded their terms, and for their years of hard work, I'd like to thank Paul Glen, Sc'74; Rob Pitt, MA'82; Josh Orzech, Com'96; and, Ellen Hanbidge, Artsci'82. As well, for the past two years the QUAA had a very strong President, Heather Black, Sc'80, who tirelessly helped alumni, students and staff to connect and collaborate. On behalf of all alumni, thank you, Heather, for all that you accomplished, and for your continued commitment and enthusiasm.
In 2012 the QUAA Board of Directors will work on the goals that we refresh at our May face-to-face meetings, and hopefully we will find new ways to connect and engage with alumni, and to foster a life-long association with Queen's.
On a personal note, I'd like to thank my family for their support and encouragement as I begin my two-year term at QUAA President. While my husband, John Brown, didn't attend Queen's, he has enjoyed many Queen's events and has joined in the famous Queen's camaraderie. His support, as well of that of my parents, my two step-daughters, who are 18 and 12 years old, and the enthusiasm with which my three-month old son, Bentley (Class of 2033?) meets all QUAA calls and events, make my commitment possible. Cha Gheill!

When the Los Angeles Galaxy drafted Frankie Hejduk in the second phase of the MLS Re-Entry Draft, it made sense. The Southern California native, who graduated from UCLA and is an avid surfer, got the opportunity to return to Los Angeles and continue his career. Hejduk's move to the Galaxy is now complete as the 36-year-old agreed to a contract with the 2010 Supporters Shield winners, officially making him the newest player to call the Home Depot Center home.
With 85 caps to his name, many people know Hejduk from his time with the United States national team. The energetic fullback and defensive midfielder's best run of form came at the 2002 World Cup. Having gotten World Cup experience when he started twice in 1998, Hejduk was a key to the Yanks' run to the quarterfinals of the 2002 tournament. Hejduk started four matches for the U.S. in 2002 primarily out of position at the team's troubling left back spot, but he also flashed his versatility by playing some in the midfield. Hejduk was also named to the 2006 World Cup roster, but had to be removed when he suffered a torn ACL. Playing his normal right back spot, Hejduk played a part in helping the U.S. qualify for the 2010 World Cup, starting the team's first qualifier against Mexico in Columbus in 2009 and scoring a key equalizing goal against El Salvador in the 87th minute to earn a point for the team.
Hejduk's career began when he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Mutiny out of UCLA and after three seasons, Hejduk moved across the pond to Bayern Leverkusen. A four-year stint in Germany saw Hejduk play in five of Leverkusen's six UEFA Champions League matches in 2000. After a short stint int Switzerland, Hejduk returned to Major League Soccer and played with the Columbus Crew from 2002 until 2010, eight years that were highlighted by captaining the Crew to the 2008 MLS Cup.
While there has been an unmistakable dip in Hejduk's play in 2009 and 2010, the Galaxy still have hopes that he can fill a roll for the team. With Sean Franklin at right back, it is unlikely that Hejduk starts regularly for Los Angeles, but he will provide roster depth for the team and his unmatched energy and positive spirit has always been a help to any team in the dressing room. If he can play a similar role to the one Eddie Lewis played for the 2010 Galaxy, Hejduk's addition will be a help to the club.
Now, the Galaxy have to worry about getting younger and quicker at several spots on the field, most notably in the center of the midfield. The problem of age and speed that hounded them in the season's second half and in their Western Conference loss to FC Dallas remains unaddressed just a month before the team convenes for the start of training camp.

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. – In Spokane County, delinquent property taxes and/or sewer payments result in lien and foreclosure notices. To diminish the number of foreclosures that occur each year and help people remain in their homes, the Spokane County Treasurer's Office, Utilities Division, and Veterans Services are referring qualified delinquent accounts to SNAP's Housing Counseling Program.
Late last year, the SNAP Foreclosure Prevention Program received a $3,074,354 grant from the Washington State Attorney General's office as a result of the National Mortgage Settlement. These grant funds provide SNAP the opportunity to assist homeowners struggling to remain in their home. SNAP intends to prevent 500 foreclosures over the next five years by expanding current service capacity and reaching out to underserved homeowners. These loan funds must be repaid by the qualified homeowner.
In Spokane County, lien and foreclosure notices are sent when a homeowner's property taxes and/or sewer bill has not been brought current for a specified amount of time. Numerous delinquency lien warning letters are sent, prior to issuing a foreclosure notice.
For more information, contact the Treasurer's Office at (509) 477-4713, the Utilities Billing Department at (509) 477-3604, Veterans Services at (509) 477-3690, and SNAP Financial Access/Housing Counseling at (509) 456-7106.

Nearly $94 million was wagered on Super Bowl XLVI at Nevada sportsbooks, the state's gaming control board said Monday.
For the record, the state's sportsbooks cleared a profit of about 5.1 percent on total wagers of close to $93.9 million, according to unaudited data from the gaming control board. That's the second-most money legally wagered on the big game in state history. State sportsbooks handled about $94.5 million on Super Bowl XL between the Steelers and Seahawks in 2006.
The Giants, who were three-point underdogs, defeated New England 21-17 Sunday for their second Super Bowl title in five seasons. The game went Under the total of 53.
Overall, wagering on this year's Super Bowl was up 7.3 percent from a season ago. Betting has increased in each of the last three years. By contrast, the handle fell in 2007, '08 and '09, plummeting all the way to about $81.5 million when the Steelers defeated the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.
Nevada sportsbooks collectively made a little more than $5 million on Super Bowl XLVI wagers, compared to close to $725,000 on Super Bowl XLV, when the sportsbooks' win percentage was just a mere 0.83 percent.

The park, in its fourth year of operation, is the home to weekly Pro-ET and Footbrake facing. Four times a year, I-22 Motorsports also hosts special Pro-Mod racing — a high-speed form of driving where speeds can reach close to 200 m.p.h.
According to Scott Tucker, co-owner of I-22 Motorsports Park, the track and the activities that surround the weekly events cater to a family atmosphere — where every age group can enjoy a fun day watching races. "It's a great deal of fun for anyone who likes to experience the excitement that high-speed racing has to offer," Tucker said. "With the Pro-Mod cars we'll be racing this weekend, we hope to break the 200 m.p.h. limit, which has never been accomplished at our track. Overall though, we hope everyone simply comes out to enjoy the fun we have at the races."
The Pro-Mod races bring competitors from Walker County and the State of Alabama, but also racers from Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky. The gates open at 2 p.m. on Saturday, with open trial times beginning at 4 p.m. Admission is $15, with children 12 and under being admitted for free. Concession and t-shirt vendors will also be available on site.
Tucker also said that future events being planned will be a special holiday extravaganza where a firework display will be performed on July 7. For more information on the Park and upcoming activities, visit www.i-22motorsports.net.

Huskers start strong in softball and Edwards named Player of the Week
Las Cruces, N.M. - Taylor Edwards hit another big home run and her twin sister Tatum tossed four scoreless innings as the Nebraska softball team capped a perfect weekend with a 11-0, five-inning victory over New Mexico on Sunday afternoon.
With the win, Nebraska finished 5-0 at the Hotel Encanto Invitational, matching its best start to a season since 2003. Taylor Edwards finished 3-for-3 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and five RBIs. Tatum picked up her fourth win of the year, improving to 4-0 on the season by tossing four scoreless innings, allowing only two hits. Freshman right-hander Danica Bishop made her Husker debut by tossing a 1-2-3 bottom of the fifth inning.
Other offensive stars for Nebraska included senior Brooke Thomason, who produced two doubles and four RBIs. Freshman Kiki Stokes and senior Gabby Banda were the beneficiaries of Taylor Edwards and Thomason's big offensive days, scoring three runs each.
Lauren Soles (0-2) took the loss for New Mexico, which fell to 0-6 on the season. Soles allowed seven runs (five earned) in 3.0 innings.
Nebraska struck quickly, scoring three runs just three batters into the game. A pair of Lobo errors allowed the first two Huskers to reach, before Taylor Edwards planted a changeup over the wall in left for a three-run homer.
The Huskers added to their lead in the top of the third. Senior Gabby Banda began the inning with a walk before Taylor Edwards singled. Thomason then moved the runners to second and third, respectively, with a sacrifice bunt. Following a strikeout, Tatum Edwards walked to load the bases, before Banda came home on a wild pitch to give Nebraska a 4-0 lead.
In the top of the fourth, the Huskers loaded the bases with no outs as sophomore Jordan Bettiol walked, freshman Alicia Armstrong singled and freshman Kiki Stokes walked. Banda then drew a five-pitch walk against new pitcher Kari Gutierrez to score Bettiol and increase the lead to 5-0. Taylor Edwards worked another walk to force in Armstrong with the second run of the inning. Thomason then fell behind in the count 0-2 before ripping a 1-2 offering to the gap in right center for a bases-clearing, three-run double that stretched Nebraska's lead to 9-0.
NU made it 10-0 in the top of the fifth, when Stokes was hit by a pitch to begin the frame and scored on a one-out double from Taylor Edwards. Thomason followed with her second straight double to score freshman pinch runner Emily Lockman.
Bishop then retired all three batters she faced in the bottom of the fifth to preserve the shutout.
Nebraska returns to action with a pair of games on Friday at the Hillenbrand Invitational in Tucson, Ariz.
In another note, Taylor Edwards was named the Big Ten Conference Player of the Week Monday.
She Drove in 15 runs for the weekend, including a career- and program-high eight in a single game to help Nebraska to that 5-0 start to the season.
Edwards had multiple hits in four games, batting .556 from the plate and combined for an 1.803 OPS in wins over UIC, New Mexico and New Mexico State.
In Game 2 against UIC, belted two grand slams to set the school record with eight RBI, while ending the weekend with five knocked in against New Mexico.

40 Days of Worship and Seeking the Lord Together
March 17, 2011
Let's Get Started
I suspect that many of us have done a bit of extended prayer and fasting as a believer. It's a way of slowing down the pace of our lives, to make more room for praise, worship, prayer, and reading God's word. Could you jot down somewhere what you hope to gain during this 40-day period? Increase dependence on God? Make a decision about placement? See some heartfelt longings that have yet to come to fruition? Pray about it first and see if God has some specifics he'd like you to focus on.
Let me pray for you, "Gracious God, Savior Son, and Indwelling Spirit, I humbly come to you seeking to know and love you more. My hands are open and my heart is teachable to what you want me to learn. Help me to make more space to meet with you in these next weeks. I don't want this to be a business as usual time but one alive with fresh worship, more quiet space to hear you speak. All I know is that I need you desperately. Thank you for that gift of expectation. I stand on tip-toes to see what you will do in me and through me. Amen.
The one thing we need today more than anything else is to spend time alone with our Lord, sitting at His feet in the sacred privacy of His blessed presence. Oh, how we need to reclaim the lost art of meditation! Oh, how we need "the secret place" as a part of our lifestyle! Oh, how we need the power that comes from waiting upon God. -Unknown
Our theme for the first 10 days (March 17-26) will be the "Pathway to Intimacy."
Intimacy (Random House Dictionary): A close familiar, usually affectionate or loving personal relationship; a close association or detailed knowledge or deep understanding; the quality of being comfortable, warm or familiar.
Our first 10-day segment takes us to the very heart of our Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. His heart beats with love, mercy, and tenderness for each of us. The whole story of God is a love story. He is seeking—always seeking to establish or re-establish an ever deepening relationship with us. Remember, our focus during this 40 day is on Jesus. Relax in his presence, hear his voice, and know how deeply you are loved. Enjoy enriching your intimacy with the God who is crazy about you.
"Prayer is first and foremost listening to Jesus, who dwells in the very depths of your heart." –Henri Nouwen
Day 1, Pathway to Intimacy | March 17, 2011
Matthew 11:28: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Come to Jesus full of expectancy as you begin this 40- day adventure. Take some time now to consider this question: Where are you in need of true rest in your life?

Makeover Hot Crab Dip Recipe
"I lightened up a recipe for traditional crab dip with reduced-fat and fat-free sour cream and cheeses," notes Cammy Brittingham from Cambridge, Maryland. "Feel free to experiment with different cheeses to suit your tastes. This is great for a party because you can make it a day ahead and refrigerate it.
- 1 package (8 ounces) fat-free cream cheese
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 cans (6 ounces each) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed or 1/2 pound imitation crabmeat, flaked
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
- Melba rounds or crackers
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning, mustard, soy sauce and garlic salt. Stir in the crab, 1/3 cup cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Transfer to a greased shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly around the edges. Serve warm with melba rounds or crackers. Yield: 2-1/2 cups.

Great straight out of the oven but not as good when room temperature.
Reviewed Mar. 7, 2011
This is really good but I used fresh black fin crabmeat from the seafood section of my grocery store. I'm amazed that someone from Cambridge would use imitation or canned crabmeat. hailing from Tappe, I only use the real thing!!!

KINGSTON, R.I. (AP) -- Going by the names on the locker rooms, it's hard to tell whether Kingston, R.I., is hosting a men's or women's NCAA regional.
Connecticut, Kentucky and Gonzaga all are playing in the semifinals, along with Penn State, a traditional football power.
"That's some company right there," said Gonzaga coach Kelly Graves. "The names are synonymous with basketball."
Graves and Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell both credit the schools' administrations with being committed to bringing the women's program up to the level of the men.
Kentucky is hoping to pull off a double national championship, something only accomplished once, by UConn in 2004.
"We had a unique setup in the hotel room last night. I was watching Gonzaga on the DVD while others were watching the men's team play," said Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell. "It' a lot of fun to be part of an environment that's so positive. I think the kids feed off of each other and the excellence of the Kentucky men's program has helped up tremendously."
UConn is playing in its 19th consecutive regional semifinal, and will try to win an eighth national championship. Its men have three others.
"UConn is the standard by which everyone is judged," said Gonzaga senior Kelly Bowen. "They're a great team and they have been for years, so it's nice to see our name next to their locker room."
SUPPORTIVE TENNESSEE: Many of Tennessee's players slipped the hoods of their warmup jackets over their heads when they came out for Saturday's NCAA tournament regional semifinal game against Kansas in Des Moines, Iowa.
It was a deliberate gesture designed to show support in the case of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin's shooting death. Martin was wearing a hoodie when he was fatally shot by self-proclaimed neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, who has not been arrested or charged in connection with the shooting.
"It's something that we talked about before. We've done it in the past, but it's a lot more significant (now)," Lady Vols star Glory Johnson said. "The whole situation that happened is just sad, and we just would like something to be resolved."
GRINER'S DUNK: Duke guard Shay Selby caught Brittney Griner's two-handed slam for Baylor in its win over Georgia Tech.
"It was a two-handed dunk," Selby said Sunday. "You can't beat that, especially in the women's game."
Selby wouldn't put it past Blue Devils 6-foot-3 freshman sensation Elizabeth Williams dunking in a game one day -- just not now while she's playing with a stress fracture in her lower right leg during Duke's NCAA tournament run.
"I want to see that from E.," Selby said.
The second-seeded Blue Devils (27-5) will face No. 1 seed Stanford (34-1) in the Fresno Regional final Monday night for a berth in the Final Four in Denver. Duke hasn't reached the Final Four since 2006.
Coach Joanne P. McCallie is all for growing interest in the women's game through the excitement of seeing women dunk if that's what it takes. If Williams can pull it off, more power to her.
"Well, I haven't seen it. I've got to see things. I've heard it," the coach said, smiling. "I would encourage any player to go after their talents, whether it's a dunk or anything else. It's great to see the women's game growing, it's great to see the excitement of the women's game."
Williams isn't the dominant player she has been considering the injury, but McCallie knows she can still do more even with her limitations and appreciates the center's "courage" through the challenges of playing hurt.
"I think she's doing a great job in the situation. We've seen Elizabeth at the highest possible level. It's been hard for her," McCallie said. "I'd like to see her A game, I haven't seen her A game at the tournament."
KNEE BOUNTY?: Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike is prepared for a serious round of bump-a-knee.
Ogwumike peels back the protective sleeve on her sprained right knee to reveal a taping job designed to keep her kneecap in place. On top of it all goes a bulky brace.
Ogwumike gave her team two scares Saturday night, twice going to the ground hard in a 76-60 victory over South Carolina in the Fresno Regional semifinals. Her big sister, Nnemkadi, was quick to support her sister, grabbing the sophomore's hand and helping her up.
"That's what the tournament's about, falling and getting back up. Lucky," Chiney said.
Coach Tara VanDerveer said there wasn't any thought to resting the sophomore star for the remainder of the game.
"A lot of players get bumped, they get knocked down," VanDerveer said. "She wouldn't play unless our medical people gave her 100 percent clearance, which she had."
Chiney figures opponents know she is limited in her mobility and try to attack that weakness -- she would do the same thing.
"This knee is more resilient than these bounties," Ogwumike said with a chuckle before Sunday's practice at the Save Mart Center, where the top-seeded Cardinal will take on No. 2 seed Duke in Monday's Fresno Regional final. "Nneka calls it bionic leg and it's bionic."
The knee will heal in the offseason and doctors assured her she won't make the injury worse by playing on it.
"It's going to be all out tomorrow," she said, then noted the interesting matchup of two top academic institutions. "Nerd on nerd."
AP Sports Writers Luke Meredith and Janie McCauley, and Associated Press writer Pat Eaton-Robb contributed to this report.

NVFC Honors Rockefeller
The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) named Senator Jay Rockefeller 2012 Legislator of the Year for his leadership in introducing and passing legislation to create the first-ever nationwide broadband communications network to connect public safety officials and first responders during emergencies. Rockefeller's public safety spectrum bill, S. 911, included in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act, was enacted earlier this year and had been a top legislative priority for the NVFC. It will prevent the kind of communications failures that occurred during rescue efforts at Ground Zero on 9/11 and at the Upper Big Branch mine disaster in West Virginia in 2010.

Behind the Video: Alicia Keys – 'Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)'
Alicia Keys takes on interracial dating in the past and present in the video for "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)," the third single from The Element of Freedom. The powerful clip, which premieres May 12 on VEVO, was directed by Jake Nava and co-stars actor Chad Michael Murray as Alicia's love interest.
"Alicia is a true artist and I was very pleased that she was brave enough to go with this unusual concept. Together I believe we have done something new and important," said Nava. "I hope people are entertained by this video, but that it also makes them think. Alicia was a joy to work with. I love her music and aimed to enhance her visual impact in the marketplace."

Jeremy Jones is one of the elder statesmen of Snowboarding and one of the godfathers of freeriding. Jones has been riding at the highest level in three different decades and is one of the sports biggest figures. Jones is renowned for his freeriding. He is regarded as a pioneer of big mountain riding and was one of the first pros to spend time exploring and riding Alaska. He frequently rides with other alpinists such as Xavier de le Rue and Mads Jonsson and his crisp riding can be seen in seminal moves such as The Art of Flight. Jones is currently two thirds of the way through producing his own trilogy of documentaries. Jones is a committed environmentalist and in 2007 he established Protect Our Winters which aims to reduce the impact the snowsports industry has on the environment. As a result he doesn't use helicopters or lifts, instead he hikes up the mountains he rides. His status was recognised in 2012 when National Geographic nominated him for their Adventurer of the Year prize for his 'remarkable achievements in exploration, conservation, humanitarianism, and adventure sports.' Jones splits his time between riding, his young family and now running his own snowboard company, the imaginatively named Jones Snowboards. The term legend is often too easily used but for Jones it is fitting. He's a man that helped develop the sport and represent it to the world in a way that few others have.

Arizona unveils online tool to track natural hazards

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Geological Survey, in partnership with the state Division of Emergency Management, is hoping a new online tool will help residents identify and mitigate natural hazards.
The Natural Hazard Viewer of Arizona website is an interactive that focuses on four hazards common to the state -- earthquakes, earth fissures, floods and wildfires.
The site describes each hazard in detail with displays on a map.
Officials said it will serve county planners, emergency management offices and water district managers, but it is also free for the public, who can use the Find Local Hazards search tool to pinpoint conditions that exist within a three-mile radius of any address.
