Police are now investigating after the bodies of a husband and wife were found in their home Saturday morning. According to the Paris Police Department, the bodies of 21-year-old Emily Kaylyn Bush and 24-year-old Terrell Deon Bush, both of Paris, were discovered at a residence in the 2500 block of W. Houston Street. The couple has been identified as husband and wife. Emily's mother and father made repeated calls to her Saturday morning that went unanswered. After not being able to contact Emily for some time, her parents decided to go to the residence to check on her. Her father discovered the bodies inside the home and called 911. Police were dispatched to the home at 11:32 a.m. A firearm was found in close proximity to the bodies and evidence on scene indicates that this may be a murder/suicide, but police say it is too early in the investigation to make that determination. The case will be investigated as a homicide until forensic evidence can be used to make a final judgement. Neighbors told officers that sounds of a possible disturbance could be heard from the home around 11 p.m. Friday night. Those sounds were followed by slamming doors. Copyright 2014 KLTV.

Moonlight Cloud unleashed an astounding burst of speed from last and wore down pacesetter Gordon Lord Byron to capture the Qatar Prix de la Foret (Fr-I) by three lengths Oct. 6 at Longchamp.
Moonlight Cloud has a Win and You're In ticket to the Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT), and on her form this year, she would be a more than worthy challenger for Wise Dan.
In a highly anticipated clash, Moonlight Cloud easily wore down elite sprinter Lethal Force and stormed to a Deauville course record Aug. 4 while winning the Prix Maurice de Gheest (Fr-I) for a third time.
Tiz Flirtatious seeks her first graded stakes victory in the $150,000 Robert J. Frankel Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Santa Anita Park Dec. 30, and seems primed to take it off an impressive runner-up finish in the Nov. 25 Matriarch.
The Nov. 26-28 Thanksgiving holiday weekend programming on TVG will feature the $6.3 million Japan Cup (Jpn-I) from Tokyo Racecourse and the Turf Festival at Hollywood Park.
Hollywood Park will restore four stakes to the schedule when its autumn meeting opens Nov. 4, including the $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup (gr. IT) Nov. 13.

Top grass female Tuscan Evening collapsed after a workout on the Del Mar turf course Aug. 8 and died. Track officials suspect that the 5-year-old grade I winner suffered a heart attack.
Tuscan Evening remained unbeaten in six graded stakes in 2010 when she led Eclair de Lune all the way in the $150,000 Modesty Handicap (gr. IIIT) on the Arlington Park turf July 17.
Tuscan Evening puts her 2010 unbeaten record on the line in the Modesty Handicap and Woodford Reserve Turf Classic winner General Quarters tops an 11-horse field in the Arlington Handicap (gr. III) at Arlington Park July 17.

Jason, Tom, and Tim Holland of twinspires.com preview the Gamely Stakes (gr. I) at Hollywood Park. Watch Video

Tuscan Evening goes for an extremely rare achievement at Santa Anita when she attempts to win her fourth graded stakes of the meet in the $200,000 Santa Barbara Handicap (gr. IIT) April 17.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The numbers could be sliced and rearranged a number of ways, but one thing was undeniable: The Phillies had not seen their rotation struggle like this in a long time.
They're hoping Joe Blanton's complete game on Thursday in a 6-1 victory is the beginning of a much-needed turnaround, because in 24 games from May 19-June 13, Phillies starters were 6-12 with a 5.70 ERA (91 earned runs in 143 2/3 innings).
In 15 games from May 27-June 13, when Roy Halladay pitched his final game for the Phillies before landing on the disabled list with a strained right latissimus dorsi, Phillies starters were 4-7 with a 5.97 ERA (59 earned runs in 89 innings).
"It's a whole gamut of things," Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee said.
Much of it is mental.
"One starter thinks I've got to be the guy tonight," Dubee said. "And then when that doesn't happen, the next guy says, 'Oh, geez, I've got to really be good.' It's been a mishmash of all kinds of stuff. Focus. We get distracted easily. Do we press? Yeah, absolutely."
The lack of focus comes from frustration; things that happen on the field out of the pitchers' control. That could be a booted ball in the infield. A broken-bat hit that scores a run. It could be a dropped fly ball in the outfield or an errant throw. Maybe it's a really good pitch down in the dirt that a hitter golfs out of the park or off the wall. It could be the offense being unable to score runs.
"There's a whole combination of stuff out there," Dubee said.
Offense has not been a problem for the Phillies lately. They are fifth in the National League in scoring since May 18, averaging 4.67 runs per game, and third in scoring since Halladay's last start for the Phillies, averaging 5.13 runs per game.
But the errors and a lack of run support over a long period of time can wear on even the most steely minded pitcher. Even Halladay seemed to be worn down from those issues before he got hurt, as the Phillies struggled on offense early in the season.
But what can Phillies pitchers do?
"Stay in your own house," Dubee said. "Control what you can control. Execute pitches. Don't get caught up on a broken-bat hit or a play not being made or runs not being scored. You don't have any control over that as a pitcher. You don't have control winning games.
"Cliff [Lee] hasn't had any luck or control in winning a game. All you can do is execute pitches and grind and grind and grind."
Manuel encouraged by way Qualls is pitching
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Phillies hope they're getting a little more quality pitching from Chad Qualls.
He struck out the only three batters he faced in the eighth inning in Wednesday's 9-8 victory over the Twins at Target Field. The last batter reached on a wild pitch, but Phillies manager Charlie Manuel is encouraged with the way Qualls is throwing the ball.
Qualls has not allowed a run in seven of his eight appearances in June, with two holds and a 3.86 ERA.
"That's very important to us," Manuel said. "I look at him in the back [of the bullpen] as a guy we can definitely put on righties. The fact that we got those left-handed pitchers, and we have two righties, and the other team has some lefties, we can definitely switch and play some situations there with the matchups.
"But Qualls, yeah, it's very important that he pitches good. I'm not saying that he can't get lefties out, because when he's good, I know he can. He's a big piece in our 'pen."
Thome is oldest Phils player with four-RBI game
MINNEAPOLIS -- Jim Thome became the oldest Phillies player to have four RBIs in a game when he had four in Wednesday's 9-8 victory over the Twins.
Thome was 41 years, 291 days old. The Elias Sports Bureau said Matt Stairs (41 years, 195 days) held the previous mark, when he had four RBIs on Sept. 10, 2009, at Washington.
The only other Phillies age 40 or older with four RBIs in a game are Tony Perez (twice in 1983) and Joe Morgan ('83).

Veradent Fresh Mint Sensitive Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth and Gums - 3.4 oz. (100 ml)
Due to its active ingredients and its soothing and emollient formula, Veradent Fresh Mint Sensitive Toothpaste with natural extracts is an efficacious daily treatment for sensitive gums. Veradent Fresh Mint Sensitive Toothpaste, with the precious properties of Aloe, also contains the following natural active ingredients:
Maintaining good hygiene of the oral cavity helps combat bacterial growth which can be responsible for:
Why Are Veradent Toothpastes and Mouthwashes Different?Veradent is an innovative product for oral hygiene. With traditional toothpastes, there is a lot of water, which has no beneficial function. With Veradent, this water has been replaced with the soothing juice of Aloe Vera, and associated with a well-researched combination of active principles which have been carefully selected in order to create a truly exceptional toothpaste.
Does Not Contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate:Tensioactives like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate can be too aggressive towards the delicate mucous of the mouth. Instead, Veradent contains only gentle, protein-derived tensioactives.
Fluoride-Free:Recent studies show that Fluoride whose qualities have been praised for over a century, is, instead a substance that can have a negative side. Fluoride is an element, which apart from being present in some foods, is used to prevent cavities; however, excessive assumption of fluoride can cause not only health problems but also problems for tooth enamel.
Veradent ResearchVeradent represents the results of the most advanced type of research directed at keeping teeth and gums healthy. It has been carefully formulated to optimize the beneficial properties of pure fresh Aloe Vera juice and other specific natural ingredients. The absence of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Fluoride make the products of the Veradent line particularly ideal for subjects with delicate mucous of the mouth and it helps avoid an excessive assumption of fluoride for children.
QualityThe most refined of raw materials are used, together with Veradent's very strict production standards, in order to create a truly innovative line of oral hygiene products.
Regular brushing with Veradent toothpastes and a proper program of oral hygiene can help fight against:

Within the first couple of minutes, Gigi racked up her first submission against a male. She threw everything but the kitchen sink at poor Antonio who didn't seem to stand a chance. Gigi got on top of Antonio and sat on him while cradling him. Later, she put those big strong legs to good use by wrapping them around Antonio's body. He literally shrieked and grunted in agony as this female warrior humiliated him with her skill and raw power. Antonio tried hard and every now and then, he would get on top, but it was to no avail. He had no finishing skills and Gigi would calmly wait until the right moment and toss him off like a school boy.
In addition to those rib crunching body scissors, she tapped him out with head scissors on several occasions. Between regular scissors and reverse head scissors which pressed his face deep into those gorgeous hamstrings, Antonio didn't know which way to turn. Halfway through the match, he took off his shirt, but that didn't help. She put him in neck cranks, breast smothers, a grapevine, school boy pins with neck cranks and when he was totally exhausted, she put him in a humiliating cradle.
Approximately 50 minutes.

Our favorite restaurant in the Cary area is Lubrano's Italian Ristorante in Morrisville. We have been going there often since it opened. We have never been disappointed in the delicious food or excellent service. My favorite recipe is Chicken Francese. It is always perfect with a side of your choice of pasta. I would be so grateful if you could get the recipe.
Steve and Joyce DeMoe
Chef Paolo Zoccola, who owns Lubrano's Ristorante Italiano in Morrisville, came to the U.S. from Italy 23 years ago.
Raised in Fusaro, a community near Naples, Zoccola said his mother, Anna, practically ran a restaurant out of her home, making meals for 20 to 25 people every day. "She's still the best chef I've ever met," he said.
Watching his mother and brother, who also works as a chef, in the kitchen inspired Zoccola. "That's how I got my passion," he said.
After high school, Zoccola moved to the U.S. and stayed. He owned a pizzeria in New Jersey for 11 years. Then in 2001, he relocated to North Carolina to open Lubrano's with the restaurant's namesake, who owns several locations in High Point and Greensboro. Eventually, Zoccola took over the Morrisville location and has been serving his take on classic Italian food ever since.
His Chicken Francese is one of those classic dishes that he's made his own. "Everybody does it a little bit different," Zoccola explained.
His version is a butterflied chicken breast pounded thin, dipped in flour and then an egg batter and cooked until done. A pan sauce of white wine, chicken stock and fresh squeezed lemon juice pairs with the chicken and is served with a side of pasta.
COMBINE eggs in a large, shallow dish. Stir with a fork. Add salt, pepper, parsley and cheese.
PLACE 2 tablespoons flour on a plate. Dip the butterflied chicken breast in the flour to coat both sides. Then dip the floured chicken breast into the egg wash on both sides.
MELT butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove chicken to a plate.
MAKE a sauce in the skillet: add white wine and use a spatula to dislodge the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice and chicken stock. Sift the flour into the sauce and then whisk the flour to thicken the sauce.
CUT chicken in half, serve each piece of chicken with pasta, a bit of sauce and garnished with sliced lemons and fresh parsley. Yield: 2 servings

Business-to-business network connects employers committed to disability diversity
With its mission to create and expand competitive employment opportunities for persons with disabilities across Massachusetts through business-to-business connections, the Work Without Limits B2B Network was established as a forum for both private and public sector employers to connect and leverage each other's experiences, knowledge and activities around disability diversity and disability employment. Business members from diverse industry sectors share, inspire and transfer knowledge and share promising practices for attracting, recruiting, hiring and retaining candidates with disabilities.
"What we heard is that the employers want to come together around this one issue to talk about the different barriers that are keeping them from hiring, so we created a forum where they can share experiences from leading companies in a range of industries," said Michelle Nowers, Work Without Limits project manager for communications.
B2B Network members immediately connect with other employers and business professionals who are committed to the mission of Work Without Limits; get up-to-date notifications around B2B Network activities, events and webinars; participate in real-time on-line discussions on disability news and trends; and have access to the cross sharing of job opportunities and disability candidates.
New in 2012, the B2B Network is accepting corporate sponsorship packages, with increasing levels of participation, starting at $2,500 and going up to $15,000, offering enhanced exposure and participation benefits. Massachusetts employers already committed to sponsorships include John Hancock Financial Services, Eastern Bank and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, with others in the pipeline.
"The network formalizes an opportunity for employers to learn from each other," concluded Petkauskos.
The state employment rate for adults with disabilities has remained stubbornly low over the past decade, regardless of the economy: less than half that of adults without disabilies. The Work Without Limits disability employment initiative was created at UMass Medical School to improve those numbers, in large part by working directly with Massachusetts businesses.
"Companies are increasingly recognizing that to stay competitive in the global economy a diverse workforce is needed. Creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities is part of that diversity strategy," explained Alexis Henry, ScD, associate professor of psychiatry and director of the Disability, Health and Employment Policy unit in the UMMS Center for Health Policy and Research (CHPR), which created Work Without Limits in 2008. "While employing people with disabilities has traditionally been about doing social good, it is also about good business sense and return on investment, and employers meeting their bottom line by positioning themselves with good talent."
Work Without Limits engages businesses and employers to overcome barriers—real and perceived—to successfully employ individuals with disabilities, and supports business needs as employers create disability employment strategies. Such needs include developing an inclusive corporate culture and increasing managers' skills and confidence in interviewing and managing staff members with disabilities.
"We are using a business-to-business approach, partnering with employers who have already been successful, to engage and inform other businesses," said Kathy Petkauskos, Work Without Limits senior program director. "We've built a collaborative model."
Work Without Limits was created as part of a broad strategic effort to develop a plan to maximize employment for people with disabilities. Today, the work continues beyond the conclusion of the 11-year, multi-million dollar Massachusetts Medicaid Infrastructure and Comprehensive Employment Opportunities grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that allowed UMMS to build Work Without Limits. Awarded to CHPR, in partnership with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services, the grant continuously funded numerous initiatives since 2000.
Now that the grant has expired, Dr. Henry said, "Our intention is to continue the Work Without Limits initiative through other funding mechanisms, to leverage and build on the generous investment of federal money, which has given us such a solid foundation in building Work Without Limits." "In addition to the B2B Network [see sidebar], we're building training and consulting services that Work Without Limits can deliver to employers, employment providers and job candidates."

Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
Utah Head Coach Kyle Whittingham
Opening statement:
"There was a lot of excitement, particularly in the fourth quarter with back-to-back kickoff returns. I can't for the life of me figure out why they kicked to Reggie Dunn, but we are glad they did. There was some good and some bad in the game. I thought the defense did well in spurts and got soft at times. Our offense was really sluggish for too long of a time but came alive later in the second half. Special teams was give and take. We did some really dumb things on special teams, but created some things as well. It was kind of a mixed bag but it was good to come away with a win and I'm very happy for these seniors to finish their careers with a win."
On answering Colorado's kickoff return for a touchdown:
"We have done that three times this year, but I didn't think they would give him a shot too. I felt like we had some momentum on offense, but it turned out to be a non-factor since we took the kickoff to the house."
On a feeling of a rivalry with Colorado:
"No, not really. We respect them and it was a close game last year and a close game this year, but it does not feel like it to me. Not yet."
On if he was surprised by the halftime score:
"I was surprised about a lot of things. They played hard. It was senior night for them. Another thing that was key in the game was takeaways. I think they turned the ball over five times and we only dropped the one ball so we were plus-4 and you're not going to lose a lot of games when you're plus-4."
On his thoughts with Colorado leading 28-20:
"We knew that if we did score, we were going to dial up the jump pass on the outpost. We have worked on that all week. It was a compliment to what we have done the previous times with the outpost. It was a great job by [special teams coordinator] Jay [Hill] diagramming that and getting that as the next progression for the outpost play that we have already used. So that was the plan."
WR Reggie Dunn
On the last game of his college career:
"It was unbelievable. As the last game of my collegiate career, to endthe game like that, it was unbelievable. I'm thankful for this team, I love all of my guys. My kickoff return team, all of the fans that came out to support us, it was a great way to go out."
On the game:
"It was like a chess match all night. I would run up and they would kick it deep. There was a ton of crazy stuff going on. We kept talking about it and we knew if we got another chance, we knew it would work. Whatever we did, it finally worked. I got my hands on it and everyone was ready to go. I'm happy it ended that way."
On back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns:
"We knew we had to match it. We knew we could do it. We feel that we are the best kickoff return team in the nation. We've shown that the past few weeks. It was amazing. Colorado returned one back and then returned another one and hushed the crowd."
DB Eric Rowe
On back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns:
"Two kickoff returns back-to-back, that was wild. I don't know why they kicked it to Reggie [Dunn] but I'm glad they did."
On Utah's four interceptions:
"We had a good week at practice. Every day we worked on getting our ball skills up and it showed up in the game. Me, Brian [Blechen], Trevor [Reilly] and Moe Lee, three picks in the secondary and one for a linebacker. That's what we need, more turnovers.
On Colorado:
"They played as hard as they've played all year. After a loss last year and a tight game today, I guess you can say it's turning into a rivalry.
On the win:
"5-7 sounds a whole lot better than 4-8, I can tell you that much. We look forward to a possible bowl game, we'll see what happens if some teams that need to win, lose, maybe some cards will fall into place and make a bowl game possible."
On the fourth quarter:
"Offensively, we just ran it down their throat. Obviously, Reggie Dunn's kickoff return was great. If he's not an All-American it's a crime."
RB John White
On his back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons:
"It means a lot to me but it means more to my team. They got me there. Without the line, tight ends and wide receivers, and quarterback, I couldn't have made it here."
On coming out strong after the half:
"I was pissed. I got mad and it worked. That's all it was. I knew I had to do it some kind of way. I knew I had to put the team on my back and just run."
On frustration with the first half:
"We just weren't getting it done offensively. We were in the red zone three times and didn't score. That definitely fired me up. I knew we could come out in the second half ready to go.

Head Basketball Coach Hugh Durham Makes NCAA History
Feb. 16, 2004
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville University basketball coach Hugh Durham has made history once again. Durham, who ranks ninth among active Division I coaches with 616 career victories, recently became the first coach in NCAA history to be the all-time winningest coach at three different Division I schools when he posted his 89th career win as the Dolphins' head coach. He already holds the record for best winning percentage at Florida State with a 230-95 (.708) record and is the all-time winningest coach in the 98-year history of the University of Georgia basketball with 297 wins. Durham is in his seventh season at Jacksonville, his 36th season overall as a collegiate head coach with a career record of 616-413 (.599), including an 89-103 (.463) mark at JU. He recently passed former Dolphin head coach Bob Wenzel with his 89th Division I win and is tied with Rollie Rourke for the longest tenure - seven seasons - of any coach in the 56-year history of Jacksonville University basketball.
Durham has restored pride back in the JU basketball program as the Dolphins have gone from the doormat of the Atlantic Sun to one of the top programs in the league. Entering this season, Jacksonville ranked third among all league schools with 49 victories over the last three seasons, including to back-to-back 18-win seasons, the most wins in consecutive years in more than 15 years for Jacksonville. Despite entering this season with the most inexperienced team in Division I - JU returned just one senior, no starters and just three reserves - the Dolphins have battled back to win six of their last eight games and are 12-12 overall (7-10 A-Sun).
"Any time you accomplish something of this nature, it encompasses everybody in the program," says Durham, who also serves as JU's Director of Athletics. "I'm happy for the players and the coaches because of how hard we have battled this season, despite the odds stacked against us."
Off the court, Durham has been just as effective at Jacksonville. Since his arrival prior to the 1997-98 season, 17 players who have completed their eligibility have graduated, with two more expected to earn their degrees this year.
The list of accomplishments is endless for Durham, who is one of just 11 Division I coaches to lead two different schools to the NCAA Final Four (Florida State, 1972 & Georgia, 1983), but the ONLY coach who led both teams to their ONLY Final Four appearance. Durham has led his teams to 15 postseason appearances, including eight NCAA tournament berths, and has earned five conference coach-of-the-year honors. He is also one of only five coaches to win 200 games at two different schools: Ralph Miller (Oregon & Wichita St.), Norm Sloan (Florida & N.C. State), Jim Calhoun (Northeastern, UConn) and Lou Henson (New Mexico State & Illinois).
A native of Louisville, Ky., Durham began his coaching career as an assistant to long-time Florida State coach Bud Kennedy in 1959. This followed a standout playing career at FSU, where he still decorates record books in a dozen different categories after scoring 1,381 points during his three-year playing career. Durham's 43-point performance against Stetson in 1957 still ranks second all-time at FSU for a single game. The Seminoles' annual Team MVP award was re-named the "Hugh Durham Most Valuable Player" award in 1999. He coached at FSU from 1966-78, before going to Georgia, where he coached from 1978-95. Durham became the Dolphins' head coach in March of 1997.

Backpacker Magazine – April 2008
You think climbing Rainier is tough? Try it blind. Or with one leg. Then see who you pity.
Ed goes first, and he's plenty nervous. It's not the rushing water, it's the fact that he has to teeter on these rocks. They drop sharply, and if he falls downhill he's going to take quite a crack. He's worried about gashing his face, smashing the prosthetic. He moves slowly, placing his crutches and plastic foot with great care, testing the stability, rock by rock. A misty fog has blown in. The stones are cold and gray. Once he commits to swinging his good leg through, he is an inverted pendulum, and all bets are off. "If I do fall," he says, "I hope to be knocked unconscious so I can feel the pain another day." Rausch, Fawley, and Garman triangulate, hovering around Salau, but keep their hands off. His lips are pinched with concentration. Rock to rock. The scrape of the crampon, the clunk of the boot. And then, the final pivot. The crampon bites into gravel and everyone exhales.
Scott is more stable, but it takes him longer to place his sticks and feet. Clark holds his left arm, more to steady than to guide him. Garman follows close behind. Smiley crouches, and he places his sticks wide, like outriggers. When he completes the crossing, there are congratulations and smiles all around, but the cheerleading is contained. Everyone is working out the line between encouragement and patronization. After all, the men simply crossed a small creek.
It's a steep stretch now, up to a nearly vertical snowbank. Ed turns sideways, his prosthetic on the downside. Trading his upside pole for a shorter ice axe, he begins edging up, his left leg doing all the lifting while he drags the prosthetic. He grimaces with effort, his teeth in white contrast to his whisker stubble. The snow bank is cut with chutes and troughs. Descending hikers choose chutes and slide down. Their wind pants pass over the granular snow with a high-pitched zizzzz. "What's that sound?" asks Smiley. It had not occurred to the rest of the crew to explain the sound. They had seen the sound.
At the next break, Art and Curtis huddle with Ed. He is redlining. At the current rate, it isn't at all clear that he can continue. Salau is disappointed, but he looks Rausch directly in the eye, and speaks crisply, militarily, matter-of-factly: "What are my options?" It's a question he's been asking ever since the grenade.
In the end, Rausch decides to redistribute the weight in his pack further. Everybody takes a few items. "Thanks, guys," says Salau. It's a tough moment. Tough for him to have to thank the team, even though every member would gladly take the man up the mountain piggyback. These are the things that go beyond losing your leg. Like having to hand stuff off to people. The snow is wet and grainy. When the grade allows, Ed faces forward and moves straight ahead. It seems to help when he steps in the footprint of the hiker preceding. But he is puffing out his cheeks now, on the exhale.
Art steps in, helping Salau readjust the prosthesis. They are seeking the perfect uphill combination: knee locked, knee unlocked, sidestepping, whatever it takes. At one point, Salau swivels the plastic foot backward so it pivots off the heel rather than the toes. It's not the answer, but he leaves some confounding tracks.The sun is dropping. The peak is outlined against the sky. Salau leans into the slope and disappears over the ridge.
Ed, you are my hero! How proud I am of you, and how wonderful that SIU brought us together. I'll tell Jo about this site so she can glory in knowing you too. Keep up the good work. We know you have a big heart and we appreciate it so much.

Excellent writing
I just want to thank you so, 1Lt Ed Salau for what you did and for who you are! Thank you so much again!
I know this is like two years later, but I found a back issue and thought this story was incredible. God bless you, Ed, for all you do for your wounded brothers and sisters, and for all you've done for the rest of us too.
Ed, I belong to the Havelock Civitans and I was so impressed with you when you spoke to our club and I am still impressed. You are doing a very commendable thing by sharing with us about your struggle and others too, I really admire you soooo much ! keep up the good work ! Semper Fi
Thanks for telling this story...you did a great job Mike. I am proud of you and glad you are safe.
Oh, man.
Thank you.

Great looking head though the chunks swirl into the glass, orangey minty nose with some biscuity backing. Easy on the palate, just enough bitterness. Rind more than juice. Yeast and toasted malt in the finish. Fun to try.

22oz bottle. Super freaky label, man! I grok that I wouldn't want to read (too much into) it after a session of, well, anything.
This beer pours a murky, deep apricot amber hue, with two fingers of loosely foamy, and mostly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some nice melting frozen windshield lace around the glass as things steadily abate.
It smells of musty, semi-sweet orange flesh, wet piney, grassy, and leafy hops, bready pale malt, and a bit of earthy yeast. The taste is more dank, musty orange rind, some now distinct hop-borne citrus, forest floor pine notes, dusty field grass, a muddled pithy flintiness, and pretty easy to under-appreciate grainy, and somewhat crackery pale malt.
The carbonation is fairly tight, in a cutting frothy sort of manner, the body on the light side of medium weight, and mostly smooth, those edgy bubbles taking their proverbial pound of flesh. It finishes quite dry, the orange fruitiness more rind-oriented than ever, and the complementary citrus and pine hoppiness starting to erase any and all memories of malt (not a President's Choice trademark, yet).
A fruit-forward, rather Indian (?) seeming Pale Ale, the overt hoppiness, and lack of any real balancing malt backbone much more reminiscent of the former implied style. At any rate, a pretty tasty affair for what it actually is, the blood orange-bolstered bitter PAC-NW hops keeping my interest on the level, 'til the very last drop.

DATE REVIEWED: May 30, 2014... GLASSWARE: Howard's Pub pint... OCCASION: the end of baseball--18-6, a game short of sectional champs... APPEARANCE: pours a heavy,, unfiltered orange amber,, opaque yet alive; slightly off-white head is a finger thick and reasonably creamy; nice cloud-like smear as the glass drains... AROMA: dramatic citrus, as expected; some astringent grapefruit and what must be blood orange; overall, alluring enough... PALATE: hyper-active start to finish, with full-bodied teeth rattle and a low-end resonance at the throat; lingers like a trip; refreshing yet a bit too demanding for a pale ale... TASTE: despite the label's psychedelia, not outrageous or funky--puckerish orange cream mingles with pale malts to produce a soft, reasonably balanced tart finish, ... OVERALLL: is that Lenny Kravitz on the bottle? a tug of war between "I wanna get away" and "are you gonna go my way?"--straddling the line between nuanced and novelty--but on a hot day, it delivers refreshment....

Elysian Superfuzz Blood Orange Pale
12 oz. brown bottle
$1.99 @ Total Wine & More, Cherry Hill, NJ
Upon taking my first sip I thought "why do you need Blood orange with all of these citrusy hops?"... and then as if on cue, the note of blood orange cut right through and it was clear to me - the blood orange is bright and sharp and juicy, and definitely makes for a distinctive beer! Besides, it actually works with the citrusy hops in a complementary way... the blood orange accentuates the citrusy hops, and the citrusy hops accentuate the blood orange. WIN, WIN.
Appearance: A rough pour brings up a solid three fingered head of creamy off-white foam atop a cloudy deep orange and brass colored body. The head slowly settles into a densely creamy cap about an inch thick (25.4 mm). With each sip broken rings of craggy lace are left about the glass; and although the head does eventually drop it maintains almost a completely solid surface covering.
Smell: Citrusy hops. Some orange is distinct. A touch of hoppy pungency, and even less base malt.
Taste: Bright and bold citrus hops appear upfront, immediately followed by rising notes of blood orange that envelope the mouth. It's juicy and refreshing! The fruit fades quickly at the swallow, and the bitterness steps in, but it's fairly tame, and not a lot of the citrusy hop dryness sticks around. Remarkably drinkable!
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body with a bristling yet somehow soft carbonation.
Overall: Impressive. It's perhaps a bit two-sided (Blood Orange & citrusy hops), but at the same time it has a remarkably refreshing characteristic. It's kind of bombastic with all of the citrus, yet it remains bright, juicy, and drinkable - and at just 5.4% abv it could make a great American session ale. So, in conclusion, it offers a unique character on the level of a bold IPA while still remaining a pale ale at heart. Absolutely worth seeking out, even if to try it just once to understand its uniqueness.

2 x on-tap, nickerson street saloon
shaker pints - hazy orange body with a healthy white foam. Expertly described as "better than blue moon, but similar". It actually did remind me a little of Oberon, less the whole what thing. Lots of flavor and pulpy sweetness from the blood orange, crackery malt, lemon peel. Quenched my thirst - even went back for another. Probably the first elysian beer I have drank in 6+ months.

Camping out is a gradual and gentle technique to help children over six months of age learn to fall asleep by themselves.
Camping out is a strategy for dealing with persistent settling and waking problems in young children. It can also be helpful with older children who are having problems getting to sleep, particularly if they feel anxious or frightened.
The idea behind camping out is to help children learn how to settle themselves to sleep, rather than parents feeding, patting or cuddling them to sleep.
If things haven't improved after two weeks, talk to your doctor or child health nurse. They'll be able to help you develop a program tailored to the needs of your child.
Camping out is not the only strategy you can use. For all the information you need on changing your baby's sleep patterns, see our Guide to solving sleep problems.
Research suggests that working with a trusted child health professional increases the chance of success. Consider obtaining such support before you begin using the camping out technique. Read more about getting help with settling babies.

The FFA Alumnus of Jefferson County will start a collection drive to fund building a greenhouse at the new Mt. Vernon Township High School location.
The goal of the drive is to raise between $50,000 and $75,000.
Three companies have already donated to the fundraiser, including Farm Credit with $500, Beau Brehm Farms with $1,000, and Adams's Farms Inc. with $5,000. This makes a grand total of $6,500 to be donated to the Mt. Vernon High School Foundation.
Farm Credit hosted a special ceremony Thursday afternoon, during which company officials presented a check to FFA members for the greenhouse project.
"We chose this project because we wanted to ensure that we could receive a two-to-one matching grant from the state for the greenhouse," said John Kabat, the FFA advisor for MVTHS.
All donors will be recognized on a plaque that will be displayed at the new MVTHS site. Different levels of donations — bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond — will also be acknowledged.
Mark Kabat, Regional Manager at Farm Credit, said his company made its donation because company officials want to support those who support them.
"We support agriculture concerns because that is where our business is and the future," Mark said.
John Kabat said this project is very important for the students in the horticulture and agriscience programs.
"We are trying to teach more students how to have their own community garden to provide food for themselves," said John Kabat.
Noah Capps, a current FFA member and a junior at MVTHS, said he is excited about the plans for the greenhouse. He mentioned that his class will be the first to benefit from the new facility.
The current greenhouse is only 12 by 30 feet and is also shaded for part of the day, which has caused issues in the past.
The greenhouse is a learning laboratory that serves four classes with a total of 120 students.
Initial plans are for the new greenhouse to be approximately 30 by 48 feet.
Having more room and a better-lit area should improve the produce that comes out of the greenhouse, and benefit the students with a better learning environment, John Kabat said.
Official plans for the new greenhouse have not yet been finalized.

The Brandon Jennings era in Milwaukee is officially over after he was traded to the Detroit Pistons for Brandon Knight, Khris Middleton and Savla Kravtsov on Wednesday. This move surprised a lot of people as many expected Jennings to accept the Bucks one year, $4.5 million qualifying offer to return to Milwaukee for a final season. But this trade should have obviously been in the works for a while if you'd paid attention to Jennings' clothes and shoes over the recent days and years.
First, Jennings wore a Pistons Bad Boys shirt to the Drew League last weekend. That seems like a pretty clear signal.
Brandon's shirt at the @DrewLeague this weekend…. http://t.co/olr0Khqd1F—
SoleCollector.com (@SoleCollector) July 30, 2013
Then Jennings released a photo of his new colorway for his shoe line with Under Armour two weeks ago. It looks very Piston-y.
Finally, and most importantly, this picture of a young Jennings in a Grant Hill Pistons jersey should have been enough evidence to predict this trade years ago.

You arrived here at 10:30 Helsinki time Monday 1.9.2014
Sixty years ago: Parliament within range of Soviet guns
Officially it was "the Porkkala Leased Territory", but Mannerheim said Finland was an occupied country
print this
By Riitta Vainio in the Porkkala peninsula
Friday, September 29th, 1944. Finland was in the grip of fear.
The Soviet Union began to take over an area of around 1,000 square kilometres right on the doorstep of Helsinki.
Porkkala had passed into the hands of the Red Army as part of the Moscow Armistice, signed on September 19th after the guns fell silent on the three-year Continuation War.
Before the borders were closed and the area was taken over, some 8,300 people living in the Kirkkonummi, Siuntio, and Inkoo communities had to be hurriedly evacuated.
In addition to the peninsula
known as Porkkala and the area immediately to the west of it, the Soviets were granted harbour facilities for their submarines in Helsinki, Hanko, Turku, and in Mariehamn in the Åland Islands.
The airfield at Malmi (then Helsinki's main airport, though now used only by light planes) became a closed-off area and came under the jurisdiction of the ostensibly bipartite "Allied Control Commission", whose task was to check Finland's adherence to the terms of the Moscow Armistice.
Though technically this body
was to be made up of representatives Great Britain and the USSR, it was universally understood that the Soviets held a dominant position, under their feared senior representative Marshal
Andrei Zhdanov
The Control Commission set up shop in Hotel Torni, the tallish building that nowadays passes for the only skyscraper on the Helsinki skyline.
At the time, in late September 1944
, the Finnish statesman
J.K. Paasikivi
(who was soon to be called back from private life to serve first as Prime Minister from October 1944 to March 1946 and then as President from March 1946 to March 1956) described his feelings as follows:
"Terrible! Terrible! - The question is whether the Finnish people can live as a nation after this. Porkkala, Control, interference in our internal affairs..."
Before long, the first artillery batteries
were set up on the peninsula and pointed towards Helsinki: they were so close that they could have more or less literally dissolved Parliament without difficulty. Big coastal guns, one with a range of 42 kilometres, underlined the threat to the western suburbs of the capital.
The presence of the Soviet forces was described as a leasing agreement, but in his memoirs, Marshal
C.G. E. Mannerhem
(the wartime commander-in-chief and Finland's President from August 1944 until his resignation through illness in March 1946) commented that as long as there were Soviet troops in the country, Finland was under occupation.
The Finns themselves feared that Porkkala was merely an overture to the seizure of the entire country. Estonia had already succumbed.
The occupation eroded
the confidence of the Western Powers in seeing Finland as an independent country (
see the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office documents in the links below
), and it hampered Finland's attempts at rebuilding post-war contacts with the West.
The Red Army troops
were also permitted to arrive in Porkkala via Helsinki, and these marches are regarded as being the most critical phase of the occupation.
If, when they disembarked in Hietalahti, the Soviet troops had turned towards the centre of the city instead of heading out towards Kirkkonummi in the west, the capital would have been in a parlous state: Finland's best troop units were by this stage in Lapland, attempting to satisfy another of the Armistice demands - the removal of Nazi German forces from Finnish soil.
Around 15,000 Russian soldiers marched through the western districts of Helsinki.
The Soviet Union wanted Porkkala
as a means of shutting off the Gulf of Finland and safeguarding access for its own naval units to the Baltic Sea.
The military bases also gave a powerful fist to the actions of the Allied Control Commission (in effect from 22.9.1944 until 26.9.1947, after the signing of the Treaty of Paris in February of that year): there were interrogations, arrests, and censorship was in force.
By almost any standards
, Porkkala was massively equipped. The area had artillery and anti-aircraft batteries, coastal gun emplacements, a tank regiment, a division of Red Army marines (in three regiments and six separate battalions), supply units, and servicemen's family members.
There were a total of 40,000 people replacing the original residents, with 30,000 of them in uniform.
The base area was initially fortified to the hilt in 1944-1945, with a view to defending against a possible German incursion.
Following the end of World War II, the wooden battle positions and the trenches that had been dug began to fall into decay.
Later, a military port
was built at Upinniemi, and a supply harbour at Båtvik to go with it. When the Cold War temperature slipped down a few degrees in 1951, the entire area was reinforced with concrete emplacements.
Porkkala was also prepared to withstand a nuclear attack, and an underground command & control centre was excavated on the site, capable of surviving an H-bomb blast.
In 1994, when an international study was carried out on former Soviet military bases, there were reports of finds of mustard gas in Porkkala.
The use of this battlefield weapon had been outlawed internationally after the end of World War I.
Porkkala was also a colossal espionage centre, in which spies were trained, debriefed, and entertained.
At the time of its initial handover
, the length of the lease on the Porkkala area was set at 50 years, meaning it should have passed back to the Finns only ten years ago, on October 1st, 1994.
However, the Soviets relinquished Porkkala on the initiative of Secretary-General
Nikita Khrushchev
in January 1956, at the height of Paasikivi's career, and just before he handed over the Presidency to
Urho Kekkonen
The temporary thaw in Soviet relations with the West was one reason, the decline in the strategic significance of Porkkala was another, and the price for the gesture was a lengthy continuation of the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance that had been signed in 1948.
As for the people who had been evacuated nearly 12 years previously, they could go home, but whether they would find things as they remembered them was quite another matter.

Police warning over rise in thefts from cars
2:00pm Tuesday 29th January 2013 in News
POLICE are warning motorists to be on their guard following a 12.3 per cent rise in the number of thefts from vehicles in Dorset.
From April 1 last year until January 27 this year 355 offences were committed with 13 reported break-ins to vehicles parked at beauty spots, including rural car parks in Wareham, Wimborne and Blandford this month alone.
Chief Inspector Jared Parkin said: "Following a recent increase in vehicles being broken into, I'm encouraging motorists to take simple steps to reduce the chances of thieves targeting their cars.
"I'd encourage motorists to make sure they leave their vehicles securely locked and don't leave valuables or items like handbags on display or hidden away."
Christchurch neighbourhood inspector Lance Cliff said: "We've seen some cars broken into even when they are parked on the owner's driveway and an increase in the number of vans being broken into."
