Several witnesses took the stand for the State Wednesday in the murder-for-hire case involving former Montgomery doctor David Nash. Nash is accused of hiring two cousins to kill well-known animal trapper Ralph "The Critterman" McNeill in January of 2011.
McNeill's body was found less than 50 feet from his burned pickup truck on January 11, 2011. Authorities say he'd been stabbed to death.
The court Wednesday heard from five witnesses. The last witness, a key witness, was Serena English. She is Nash' former fiancé and is said to have been in a heated custody dispute with McNeill. She pleaded guilty to murder-for-hire in April and is set for sentencing in September.
English was on the stand for more than two hours, during which time she said under oath that Nash paid defendant Jeremy Riley to kill McNeill.
English said she met McNeill at a crackhouse and they began dating. She said the relationship ended in 2010. It was after breaking up with McNeill that English says she started dating Dr. Nash.
English said Jeremy Riley, another defendant in the murder case, was a drug dealer who sold Nash up to $1000 worth of drugs almost daily. Both she and the doctor shared the drugs.
The witness said that after a series of events, Nash asked her if she wanted McNeill dead and she agreed that she did. She testified that Nash had hired someone to commit the murder for $20,000.
At one point while English, Nash and Riley were smoking crack together, she said Riley informed them he knew someone who could do the job for half the price. For his role in the killing, Riley has already pleaded guilty to murder.
During the Defense's cross examination, attorneys tried to discredit English, even playing five recording taped from jail. The conversations were between English and various family members who discredited some things she said on the stand. The effort was to show jurors that the witness could not be believed.
English is scheduled to go back on the stand for more questioning Thursday.

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Freshman reserve Nigel Hayes had a career-high 19 points and No. 4 Wisconsin remained unbeaten with an easy 76-49 victory over Northwestern in their Big Ten opener Thursday night.
Hayes went 8 for 12 from the field and had six rebounds while showing a nice combination of power and finesse. The prize recruit is averaging 15.3 points in his last three games.
Sam Dekker scored 15 points and Traevon Jackson had 10 for the Badgers (14-0, 1-0), who earned their seventh consecutive win against the Wildcats. They shot 55 percent (32 for 58) from the field and enjoyed a 38-27 rebounding edge.
Northwestern (7-7, 0-1) has dropped two straight after a three-game winning streak. Alex Olah had a career-high 23 points, and Drew Crawford finished with 10 points on 3-for-11 shooting.
Wisconsin improved to 14-0 for the first time since the Badgers won each of their 15 games in the 1911-12 and 1913-14 seasons. It was their 11th straight win in a Big Ten opener.
They can match the school record for fastest start with a victory against No. 22 Iowa in their first conference home game on Sunday.
Wisconsin grabbed control with a virtually flawless first half, scoring 36 of the final 45 points before intermission. The almost clinical performance began with a 16-2 run that included eight points from Hayes, who sparked the decisive sequence with two free throws and a jumper in the paint.
Hayes by himself had a 13-12 lead over the Wildcats with 1:30 to go.
Duje Dukan's layup with 28 seconds left sent the Badgers to the locker room with a 40-14 lead. Wisconsin had a dominant advantage in virtually every category at the break, shooting 59 percent with only one turnover and building a 20-10 rebound difference.
Wisconsin's start was so impressive that even hard-charging coach Bo Ryan seemed satisfied with the Badgers' effort. He kept a close watch on the action from in front of the bench, but he seemed almost serene as his team picked apart the Wildcats.
It was more of the same in the second half, with Jackson finding Dekker for a fast-break dunk that made it 49-20 with 14:40 left.
Northwestern forward Nikola Cerina left with an injury after Dekker's jam. The 6-foot-9 redshirt senior appeared to be favoring his right leg as he hobbled off the court.
The Wildcats shot 34.5 percent (19 for 55) and their reserves managed just four points, compared to 32 for their counterparts on the Badgers.

Are you counting calories or fat grams?
Dont let dieting by numbers get you down. Trying to be too precise about what you eat can sabotage your efforts.
Its OK to use numbers as a guide. But most people find that rigid adherence to a diet plan isnt compatible with the realities of daily life.
Being too tied to the numbers can turn eating into an exercise in frustration if you find the number crunching too time-consuming or tedious.
In fact, the difficulty of calorie counting in vogue since the 1920s has led to attempts to simplify dieting. In the mid-1990s, for example, Weight Watchers introduced a fat-and-fiber plan.
Instead of counting hundreds of calories, dieters focused on cutting fat grams and pushing fiber, both much smaller numbers and easier to track. If you met your fat and fiber goals, the other numbers tended to fall into place.
It was a good idea, though the focus on fat that followed during this time also spawned a generation of low-fat, heavily processed junk foods.
Its easier today to monitor food numbers with an online diet tracker or one of the many calorie-counting apps for your smartphone. But even that level of diligence may be more than some people can tolerate.
If so, here are some tips for making the numbers work for you:
• Use numbers as a measuring stick. If you need to hold your sodium intake to 2,000 milligrams per day, and a cup of soup contains 750 milligrams, you may decide to avoid salty chips and salsa later that day.
• Use numbers as a built-in brake. Make a quick estimate in your head: 400 calories for a sandwich, 150 for a large apple.
Keeping a rough running total in your mind can help you slow down when necessary.
• Spot-check the numbers. Keep a food diary or let your smartphone do your figuring for you for a few days, instead of every day, and tally up anything you want to track.
Just staying aware of what you are eating and how much often causes people to change their behaviors. Its a way of helping to keep you honest with yourself.
Make the numbers work for you, not against you.

If you are an employee with a Network User ID, you have access to one personal directory called the F: drive on your PC. You can create folders under this directory to organize your files. To access your share of the F: drive, open Windows Explorer; you will see your username attached to the F: drive on the left side of the window. You can also access the F: drive by clicking the Start button and choosing Computer.
Your F: drive is available to you from any computer on the CCAC network. Whenever you use your Network User ID to log on to any PC attached to the College network, you will see your personal F: drive when you access Computer or Windows Explorer. However, it will only be available to you on the network; you will not be able to access it from your home computer.
Some resources will be available to you from outside the network, through our web-supported services. You can access your email through Outlook Web Access; you can access information in Colleague through CCAC Central.
All network drives are backed up on a nightly basis. However, you should not rely on ITS disaster recovery processes to secure your personal documents. It may be very difficult or impossible for ITS Operations to restore only a segment of the network for one individual. It is your responsibility to regularly back up your documents to an external source. Flash drives provide an ideal method for you to make backup copies of files.
Requesting Access
The U: Sharable drive is available for CCAC departments to create and maintain folders that are integral to the operation of the College in one way or another and will be shared by various members of the department. All requests for access to any folder on the U: drive must come from either a folder owner or a department supervisor. (This would be the same person in many cases.) You can make the request by calling or emailing the ServiceDesk.
"Access Denied"
Directories and files on the U: Sharable drive are set up with security access for only those individuals who have authorization to read or write to those directories and files. If you are established as part of a group who has read and/or write permissions to those files, you will be able to read and/or write to the files. If you believe you should have the authorization and still get the "Access Denied" error message, call the ServiceDesk to request that the security access be updated for the specific directory.
Faculty members at CCAC have access to the S: drive, a drive designated for sharing course-related files with their students.

By STEVE OUELLETTE, You Had To Ask
---- — Today is Father's Day, and after a special breakfast — French toast and bacon, please? — my children will no doubt honor me with some heartfelt trinkets that will reach out and touch my tiny Grinch-like heart.
I'm not completely self-absorbed, however. That T-shirt or mug may say "World's Best Dad," but I'm fairly certain that Target didn't ask for documentation before selling it. I'll wear it proudly, but I know it's not me.
I see the other dads. The ones who go on long father-son fishing trips. The ones who put work aside and coach their Little League teams anyway. The ones who smile and shrug instead of scream when you have a ketchup fight on the living-room furniture.
World's Best? No chance. Maybe 50th percentile? On a good day?
I thought that today would be a good time to reflect on my shortcomings. My first son was born 13 years ago, followed by his brother a couple of years later. At the time, I made some promises about how I would raise them. How true to my words have I been? Well ...
I promised to keep you safe — So far, so good. You're both healthy and alive, and we're totally not buying that new place next to the crack house, unless the broker comes down another five grand.
I vowed that I would stoically do my fatherly duties, such as changing diapers, without complaint — I changed them, but yes, there was a certain amount of complaining and resentment. To be fair, I thought you'd be potty trained well before you were 9 years old.
That's a joke guys, come on. Have a sense of humor.
I promised never to use you as comedic devices in print — Whoa. Sorry about that. Probably won't happen again.
I promised never to fall back on the retort my mother used — "Because I'm your mother!" — when presented with an irrefutably logical argument — So far have not been presented with one of these so-called logical arguments.
I vowed to set aside money for college expenses — I suppose it depends on what college you go to, and, well, how many weeks you'd like to go. You guys are smart; maybe you can get scholarships.
I promised that I wouldn't let your mother divorce me, so that you'd have to be raised in a broken home, with some smooth-talking, well-dressed stepfather with perfect hair and a giant trust fund — Thus far the "must stay together for the good of the kids" argument is still working.
I said that I would always make time to play catch in the backyard — Too many times I've been working to pay for the backyard and put the catch off until later. I'll be better with the grandkids, I promise.
I promised to buy you a pony if you were good — I never actually intended to buy you a pony, but be honest: have you ever been pony-level good?
I promised to instill in you a good work ethic that will serve you well for the rest of your lives — Let's see … the dishes are stacked in the sink. There's not an open spot of floor in your bedrooms. And apparently the dog has passed away, waiting by the door for someone to walk her. And now you want your allowance?
I vowed to never raise my hand against you — They've never been hit, though I admit to dropping them a few times when they were small and slippery.
I promised to never raise my voice against you — That was never going to happen. See? I'm a monster.
I promised to make sure that you ate right — Well, at least make sure that you ate. Can't say that I ever take you out for a giant plate of vegetables, but an ice cream cone after an exceptional effort is common.
I promised to show you a good example of what a father should be — Which is why it's important for you guys to watch every episode of "The Walking Dead." See how much Rick loves his little boy Carl?
I vowed that I was never going to just let you win without earning it. Not on a basketball court or a tennis court or a checkerboard or in a game of Go Fish — Now they won't play any games with me, which is a shame, because they keep getting better at everything, and I'm losing handfuls of brain cells every day.
I claimed that I would strap your right arm behind your back so that you'd have to throw left-handed, guaranteeing a long and profitable career in professional baseball — Stupid child services. Blame them when you have to go out and find a real job.
If you'll excuse me now, I have to go call my dad. I haven't been a very good son either. Maybe bottom 20th percentile.

In addition to the traditional optional one year maternity leave at full pay, in August 2003 State Council Law No.234 came into effect. This is the legal instrument of the Family Code marriage contract: "to attend, care for, protect, educate, help, give profound affection to, and prepare for life" the fruit of their love, sworn to by both potential parents at the marriage ceremony, and a right and duty recognized equally for adoptive parents. The law protects both mothers and fathers who decide by mutual accord that they want to share the child-raising role after the breastfeeding period, without having to worry about irate bosses or job security.

The "bread" of the 1912 Massachusetts Lawrence Strike strikers' banner "We want Bread and Roses too!" is assured.
And there are roses too: on March 8 in Cuba, with an undercurrent of social and political awareness of women's struggles worldwide, workplaces and neighborhood FMCs (Federations of Cuban Women) throw parties, and men express their appreciation to the women around them with poems and flowers.
Below is part of James Oppenheim's poem, actually published before the Lawrence Strike and apropos for International Women's Day.
As we go marching, marching, in the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,
For the people hear us singing: Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!
As we go marching, marching, we battle too for men,
For they are women's children, and we mother them again.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses.
As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days,
The rising of the women means the rising of the race.
No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes,
But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and roses, bread and roses.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
hearts starve as well as bodies; bread and roses, bread and roses.

Thanks a lot!

ON just a 23 degree day, the inside of a car can reach more than 40 degrees - and a pet can die in less than six minutes.
With four straight days forecast to top 40 degrees next week, RSPCA Victoria is urging people to make sure their pets are not left in hot cars.
The organisation received 209 reports of animals left in vehicles during last year's summer. They say dogs are particularly at risk of overheating as they pant to cool down, which also adds to the rising temperature in a vehicle.
RSPCA chief executive Maria Mercurio said a dog left in a car or on the back of a ute can suffer a horrific death and even if they are found alive, it can be too late.
"The animal suffers extreme stress, organ failure and seizures until the animal eventually collapses into a coma and die," she said.
She asked people to leave their dogs at home during the warmer months, otherwise they face up to two years imprisonment, $71,000 in fines and a banning order from owning a pet.
"It is critical that pet owners understand the severe implications of leaving their pet in a car – the consequences are often irreversible," she said.
"Unless you're able to guarantee a cool environment and plenty of fresh water on your travels, we urge pet owners to leave their pets at home."
RSPCA senior inspector Simon Primrose said people should call 000 if they found an animal locked in a vehicle.

Italy are without wide players and Andrea Pirlo. Slovenia are Slovenia. At halftime of their Euro 2012 qualifying match, the score is 0-0. SURPRISE!!!
Samir Handanovic and Gigi Buffon have actually been forced into some decent saves, but they have all been saves that goalkeepers at their level are expected to make. Basically, though shots have hit the target a few times going both ways, there have been no real clear cut chances. The defenses and strikers are evenly matched going either way. Both midfields can pass and tackle, but both seriously lack flair and creativity.
Basically, this game is everything that anyone who has ever watched these two teams play thought it would be. It's basically the most typical of a match it could possibly be to this point. Italy have played some nice football at times and look like the team more able to score a goal, but if I were a betting man (and I'm not), I would bet on this game staying scoreless until full time.

Winter's comeback in the San Juans
Date posted: 2012/01/23
Winter made a comeback to the San Juan Mountains over the past 10 days. Overall snow totals vary area to area, but approximately three feet fell in the past three storms. Snow above the huts is plentiful and trail access in and out is in fine winter shape. Of course, with these pulsing storms with high winds and heavy snowfall, comes high avalanche danger. High water content in the last storm should help settle out the season-long growth of faceted weak layers, but that is to be determined by Mother Nature. So while we wait…travel to the huts is a perfect alternative to poking around in high avy danger. Be safe out there.

Closet Know-How
- Devote an entire working day to the process. "This isn't something you can do in an hour," says D.C. stylist Ricky Summers. "If you really want to make progress, give it the time it needs."
- Invite a friend. "A pal can bag clothes that don't work and put notes on items that need to go to the tailor," says Summers. The process will go faster, and you can return the favor.
- Start with what's not working. "Be honest about why you haven't worn something," says Summers. "If you don't feel good in it, stop making excuses and get rid of it."
- Don't be afraid to split a suit. If a jacket works, keep it and find pants or a skirt to go with it.
- Make a pile for the tailor, who can answer questions about length and fit. "Long pants that make you look hippy might work better cropped," suggests Summers.
- Don't toss something just because it's not the latest fashion. If something looks good on you, make it part of your signature style.
- Take your rejects to a consignment shop or homeless shelter as soon as possible. "Otherwise you might get 'Shedder's Remorse,' and the stuff will creep back into your wardrobe,'" says Summers.

(WMC-TV) - Whether the city of Memphis should buy AutoZone Park is a divisive issue for the mayor and council members.
Mayor A C Wharton needs the city council's approval to buy the park. Many members feel like they are being rushed to make an important decision potentially involving taxpayer dollars.
As of Thursday, both arms of city government seem to be getting closer to playing on the same team.
One week into the new year AutoZone Park could belong to the city of Memphis.
"There are two things. One: recognize the value of it, yet at the same time protect the city of Memphis taxpayers from undo-exposure," said Wharton.
Discussions between Wharton and the council had a rocky start.
"Those innings have been played. We're starting the ball game over, if you will. We're going maybe into the seventh inning stretch and we're getting ready to wrap the ball game up," said Wharton.
Wharton asked the council to delay their vote until January 7 when the council was able to run the numbers.
In a weekly council email update, councilman Jim Strickland said the park could pay for itself. Although, there are variables that could result in an annual cost to the city between $100,000 and $300,000 a year. Strickland is proposing adding $1 to a charge of 50 cents on game tickets to help cover the debt.
"We're not going to accept or reject anything until everything is on the table," said Wharton.
The alternative to not buying the park is the Redbirds could fly away and the park sits empty. Wharton hopes he and the council can work as a team and keep the team downtown.
Earlier this month the council voted to reduce the purchase price of the park from $20 million to $17.5 million.
This may or may not be acceptable to the Cardinals or the current bond holders. Wharton says he will be in a meeting with all interested parties Friday and all ideas will be on the table.

Published Aug. 2013
By Michelle Dupler, Tri-City Area Journal of Business
If you've ever thought about starting a pet-sitting business or just want to learn how to use all the buttons on your expensive digital camera, the Kennewick School District's community education program can help.
While most people associate the school district with teaching the "three Rs" to students in K through 12, it also offers a variety of enrichment classes for adults who want to be lifelong learners.
"We want to offer people the opportunity to continue to learn and grow in different areas," said Terry Andre, the district's community education coordinator. "It's important for kids to see their parents and grandparents don't stop learning when they're out of school, that mom, dad, aunts and uncles take classes because they want to — not because they have to."
And the classes are funded entirely by user fees with many instructors volunteering their time so no tax dollars are used, she said.
The program offers a variety of classes both in a traditional classroom setting and online. The pet-setting business class is one of the online offerings.
Prospective students can look at a detailed course description, syllabus, instructor bio, participation requirements and reviews from previous students on the district's community education website, which also gives the length of the class, session start dates and the price — most classes cost $105.
If the six-week, pet-sitting class whets a student's appetite and deepens his or her love of furry critters, the student could go on to take a series of veterinary assistant courses, or classes on how to create a business plan and how to market a business on the Internet.
Other classes might allow students to learn the basics of real estate law, how to build spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel or how to speak basic conversational Spanish or Japanese.
While many classes offer practical skills that might boost someone's chances at getting a raise or promotion at work, some classes offer the chance to try a new creative pursuit, like the six-week online "Pleasures of Poetry" or "Drawing for Absolute Beginners" courses.
"For me, probably the best thing about community education is when somebody opens up the catalogue and thinks, 'Ah! I always wanted to do that!'" Andre said. "We want to give people the opportunity for things they haven't had the time or haven't had the money to do."
Sometimes those classes taken for the sheer love of learning can turn into new careers. Andre gave the example of Tri-Cities' watercolor artist Christine Blevins, who started by taking a community education class and now has her work featured in exhibits and magazines.
"To me that's the ultimate — somebody who gets a chance to try something new and digs into it," Andre said.
But community education also can provide the opposite — giving someone the chance to try something and find out it isn't for them in a more affordable setting than a college class.
Andre said the school district's program also is helping to preserve some traditional arts and skills that otherwise might be lost, such as tatting, sewing and knapping — the native technique of making arrow heads.
"These are things you don't necessarily think of as current, every day skills, but we want to make sure they stay alive," she said.
Although the school district's community education program may have the most plentiful offerings, it isn't the only game in town when it comes to enrichment education for adults.
Richland's Parks and Recreation Department this summer is offering a range of community education classes including watercolor painting, basic financial planning courses, sewing, quilting, Spanish, dog training and even a class on how to become a clown.
Pasco offers classes on sewing, china painting, end of life planning and a wood carving session with Basin Wood Carvers every Saturday afternoon at the Pasco Senior Center.
Kennewick Parks and Recreation Director Maxine Whattam said her department focuses its enrichment classes on offerings for seniors through the Kennewick Senior Center to avoid overlap with the Kennewick School District's community education offerings.
There are enrichment opportunities to be found through Kennewick Parks and Recreation, such as this summer's offerings in sewing, basic conversational Spanish, wire wrapping jewelry, one-on-one computer tutoring, and Voices in Beautiful Expression singing workshop.
"If there's a specialty kind of thing where nobody else out there is offering it, we would typically assist with that," Whattam said. "We try to complement the school district and what other cities offer. We do a lot of cooperative programs as well. We definitely are all on the same kind of page."
Columbia Basin College formerly offered community education classes, but those were cut when the state began cutting funding for higher education to bridge multibillion dollar biennial deficits starting in 2008.
CBC ultimately lost millions from its budget and college officials had to evaluate programs and offerings to preserve as much of CBC's curriculum as was possible while also continuing to allow growing enrollment.
CBC spokesman Frank Murray said the college continues to offer access to its fitness center at a reduced rate for seniors, and offers some financial literacy classes through the CBC Foundation.
"We had more community education classes before (2008), but then the economic crisis hit and we needed to cut our budget," Murray said.
Washington State University doesn't offer any special community education-style classes, however it does offer a waiver of fees for those ages 60 and over who are Washington State residents.
Applicants are asked to sign a statement that courses taken under the fee waiver will not be used toward credentials, salary schedule increases or degrees. No more than six credits may be taken each semester under the program, and if you apply for more than six credits, you will be charged full tuition for all credits. Those using the tuition waiver are admitted to classes on a space available basis, are assessed a nonrefundable $5 registration fee, are responsible to pay any other fees as appropriate and are not eligible for student benefits under this program.

Because I have somehow (sadly) become one of those people who gets his news through Twitter, I was recently confused at an explosion of outrage on my feed over something called "sock puppetry."
I couldn't imagine why the long-departed Shari Lewis would suddenly spark such anger, and of course Lamb Chop wouldn't hurt a fly.
What we were outraged over was the news that British crime writer R.J. Ellroy had been exposed as writing positive anonymous customer reviews about himself, as well as negative reviews about the books of rival crime writers whom he apparently saw as competitors.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
This practice, I learned, is called "sock puppetry," a fitting name given that the illusion of who is behind the talking laundry is so easy to figure out. Ellroy was de-socked by Jeremy Duns, another British novelist, who identified Ellroy as the man behind fake reviewer names like "Nicodemus Jones" and "Jelly Bean."
"Nicodemus Jones" thought that Ellroy's "A Quiet Belief in Angels" was a "masterpiece" that "stopped him in his tracks." Ellroy messed up, though, when he stayed signed in to a Nicodemus Jones user account and began speaking and signing off as Roger.
Once caught, Ellroy apologized, sort of, expressing regrets for his "lapse in judgment."
By itself, the news that an author pumped his own tires wouldn't mean much except a week or so before this, The New York Times reported on Todd Rutherford, a man who had started the now defunct GettingBookReviews.com. Initially offering reviews of books for $99, the demand from authors was such that he soon had a 20-pack for $499 and then a 50-pack for $999. According to the article, "Before he knew it, he was taking in $28,000 a month." (Emphasis mine, because, well, it's $28,000 a month!)
It's hard to know what made me sadder, that some hopeful authors are reportedly paying as much as $20,000 for these dubious review services or that being a writer of fake reviews is considerably more lucrative than being a writer.
I'll admit to a kind of willful naïveté over issues of commerce when it comes to books and reading and writing. While all writers love to get paid for their work, very few, in my experience, do it for the money. J.K. Rowling didn't write "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" thinking about that castle she'd own someday. She wrote it because the story was trapped in her head and needed to get out.
The possible economic payoff to purchasing reviews, particularly tens of thousands of dollars' worth, is vanishingly small — so small, that it's pretty clear that writers who purchase reviews are not looking for money, but attention, even if it's fake or from themselves.
I sympathize. If you publish a book and no one is around to write a review of it on Amazon, did it make a sound?
I should note that these upstart review services are not the only ones preying on those craving attention. The venerable Kirkus Reviews (who, full disclosure, roughed up my book pretty good) charges self-published authors $425 for a single review. ($575 if you want it expedited.) They promise a review that is a "fair and unbiased assessment of your work and its potential in the marketplace." If you don't like it, you have the option of keeping it secret between you and Kirkus.
No comment, even though I really want to.
There's talk of creating a code of ethics for writers where they will pledge not to engage in sock puppetry or purchasing reviews. But there's an easier, reader-based solution to this problem. Accept book recommendations only from friends and columnists in your weekly book supplement.

Malta's main maritime towns of Marsaxlokk, Senglea, and Vittoriosa are now affectionately known as The Three Cities. Largely unvisited for years, the Three Cities offer an authentic look at traditional Maltese life and a glimpse into the island's past maritime fortunes. The tour begins with a leisurely drive to Marsaxlokk Bay, Malta's second largest natural harbor, where most of the fishing boats have a mythical eye painted on the prow. Because of its sheltered harbor, Marsaxlokk was an easy landing place for pirates and the Ottoman Turks, who attacked here during the Great Siege of 1565. Napoleon's army also landed here in 1798. However, in 1989, the harbor served as a more hospitable setting during the summit between President George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev. Later, in Senglea, you will tour the charming streets on foot, and then drive to Vittoriosa to see Fort St. Angelo and the Church of San Lawrenz, one of the earliest medieval parish churches on the island. Finally, you will cruise Valletta Harbor, another scenic highlight.

According to ProFootballTalk.com, the Buccaneers are shopping defensive tackle Ryan Sims. Sims, 29, was a former first-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2002. The Bucs acquired Sims through a trade with the Chiefs in 2007 and last offseason, the team re-signed him to a four-year, $8 million contract. Sims started on the defensive line for Tampa Bay in 2009.
Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Mike Florio
PewterReport's Take: After the Bucs drafted Gerald McCoy with the third-overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft and selected Brian Price with the 35th pick in the second round, both Chris Hovan and Ryan Sims became expendable. The Bucs have six defensive tackles on the roster including McCoy, Price, Roy Miller, Chris Hovan, Ryan Sims, and Dre Moore. Veteran starters Hovan and Sims are both candidates to be released or traded. McCoy, Price, and Miller are expected to be the top three defensive tackles next season.

AfterWork Theater Project, With Non-Theatre Working Professionals, Presents Hair Feb. 1-10 in NYC
By Michael Gioia
AfterWork Theater Project, a New York City-based theatre company providing working professionals with a creative outlet, presents its inaugural production, the sixties rock musical Hair, Feb. 1-10 at the 14th Street YMCA.
Launched in November 2012 by founder and artistic director Evan Greenberg, a real-estate broker by trade, AWTP has contracted with a creative team that includes Alex Perez and Julian Reeve, who share Off-Broadway, West End and international touring credits.
"I was a theatre geek growing up, rehearsing and performing in shows from the age of 3 to 14," explained Greenberg in a previous statement. "It was in recent years that I recognized a void in my life – that I missed the fun, community, and self-expression that I got from rehearsing and performing all those years. And it turns out I wasn't alone."
The inaugural cast of 40 ranges in age from 20-65 and was recruited through professional networks, on online forums like MeetUp, and through word-of-mouth. No formal audition was required for general casting, though lead roles were chosen from auditions with the creative team.
"I was singing in the shower one day and I thought, 'There has to be a better venue for me than this'," said cast member Alexandra Krupp, who works for non-profit organization Teach For America. "I Googled 'Be in a show' and now here I am performing in a musical in New York City."
AWTP is currently accepting enrollment to be in the cast of their spring 2013 production.
The Theater at the 14th Street Y is located at 344 East 14th Street (between 1st and 2nd Avenues). For more information and tickets, visit AfterWorkTheater.com.

Reviews for Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes
Sort By :
I made this in a 13 x 9. It was a little dry and I could tell by the batter that it was going to be. I made my own chocolate frosting which did add to the moisture of the cake. Maybe the cupcake would be better. Not sure if I will make again. I would like to compare the ingredients of another recipe with this one to see how I can tweek it a bit.
They were good. You'd never know their were carrots and zucchini in them.
These cupcakes were exalllent super moist, great tasting, didn't even ice them. I did divide the butter in half ( I used margarine) and used half crisco. I also used two cups zucchini instead of carrots. Was a hit in my family. Will make again before zucchini is done for the season!
The cupcakes were pretty good. I did not use canned frosting. I made buttercream.

Georgia Grown is Blooming in Georgia
Gary W. Black, Commissioner, Georgia Department of Agriculture
March 7, 2012
Since I joined the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) in January of 2011, the past year has been a whirlwind of new activities. Despite the office I have in our Atlanta headquarters building, I have spent the majority of my first year as your Agriculture Commissioner traveling across our great state – meeting with farmers, processors, agribusinesses and consumers to hear from you and share news about agriculture, Georgia's No. 1 industry, which has a $68.9 billion output impact annually on our state's economy.
One of our new programs that I am most excited about sharing with you is our revitalized Georgia Grown campaign. Complete with a redesigned logo that is more user-friendly and easily identifiable, the new corresponding website
also launched at the start of this year.
The Georgia Grown program provides a powerful new branding tool as well as education, marketing and business connections to expand agribusinesses and the agricultural industry throughout Georgia. It is an economic development vehicle for those of you looking for local business resources, bringing farmers and processors, retailers and consumers together in one place. Whether you are a consumer looking to take your family out for a day of pick-your-own strawberries or a small artisan looking to grow your business, whether you are a niche farmer wanting to find a new place to sell products or a corporation looking to increase trade opportunities and add jobs -- Georgia Grown is the channel you can use to find what you need.
As it continues to grow in the coming months, the benefits of the program will be wide reaching; Georgia Grown offers all of us a better understanding of agriculture, its impact on everyday life and the opportunities it affords in terms of future employment and investment to businesses and the public.
To all Georgians with a vested interest in agriculture, I encourage you to learn as much as you can about Georgia Grown, look into becoming a member and definitely share your feedback with us as this initial year of the program unfolds. Anyone interested in having a listing on the program's searchable database can post business information for free. Additionally, Georgia Grown subscription memberships offer specific benefits to help your business grow and reach the next level of success. These benefits include professionally designed Georgia Grown marketing tools and templates, economic development help for businesses looking to become regional (or even international) suppliers and more.
Spinning off of the new Georgia Grown campaign, our Nutrition Specialist and Outreach Coordinator Melanie Hollingsworth will celebrate one year with the GDA in May. This position brought about a renovated and expanded test kitchen at our headquarters building, which is designed to be an educational tool to promote the use of Georgia Grown products; as a media outlet to test and promote consumer recipes and to aid in food preparation training for farm-to-school efforts, and will be a collaborative tool to promote a healthier Georgia through nutritional education. The GDA is in the process of establishing partnerships through the use of the kitchen, which will benefit all Georgians in the months to come.
On the topic of farm-to-school, our latest collaboration with the Georgia Department of Education will come to fruition in April and May with our inaugural "Feed My School for a Week" campaign. This brand new farm-to-school program increases awareness about the importance of proper nutrition and healthy eating, while teaching Georgia students more about where their food comes from. For this pilot program, Bleckley, Colquitt and Hall counties will each be represented by an elementary school in their district.
In the coming months, Georgia Grown will continue to bring fresh, exciting things to our state and I look forward to sharing our news with producers, retails and consumers. In the meantime, I once again encourage you to visit www.georgiagrown.com and have a look around. Get to know the Georgia Grown program and review the membership packages to see if one of them is right for your business.

<application> Still and moving images, usually of women, in varying states of nudity, posing or performing erotic acts with men, women, animals, machines, or other props. Some say it degrades women, some say it corrupts young boys (who down-load it from the World-Wide Web or exchange it on floppy disks). Most of it is in the form of JPEG images. Many web sites offer porn of all sorts, almost always for a subscription. It is said that these are a driving force in the evolution of new technology and techniques for the web. Advertisments for them certainly constitute a significant proportion of all spam. There are even pornographic computer games, an early example being Mac Playmate.
Beware - many institutions, particularly universities, have strict rules against their computers and networks being used to transfer or store such things, and you might get corrupted.

ST. LOUIS -- Fearing initially that he had strained his right oblique, Matt Carpenter spoke after Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Padres with optimism that his injury is not that serious.
Carpenter had to exit the game in the first inning, after doubling into the left-field corner off Padres starter Edinson Volquez.
Carpenter said he felt "something funny" in his right side as he finished his swing and continued having discomfort as he ran the bases. Carpenter grabbed his side as he neared second and was then quickly met by manager Mike Matheny and a trainer.
After the brief consultation, Carpenter left the field.
"I got to second and knew something wasn't right, but I didn't know what it was," Carpenter said. "It scares you more than anything. As the night went on, it got gradually better."
Carpenter will undergo an MRI exam on Wednesday to determine whether there was any tear to his oblique muscle. If not, he may be able to avoid joining six other teammates on the disabled list.
"There's something going on there, but it might not be to the extent that we thought," Matheny said. "Hopefully, what the trainers are seeing right now is something we can get in front of."
Carpenter was also not exhibiting signs of an oblique strain -- like hurting when breathing or laughing -- in the hours after coming out of the game.
Matheny has become frustratingly familiar with seeing his players exit the field injured. Since putting Jon Jay on the disabled list on May 16, Allen Craig (left hamstring strain), Kyle McClellan (right elbow strain) and Lance Berkman (torn right knee meniscus) have all left games in progress due to injury. Those three have since joined Jay on the DL.
Daniel Descalso replaced Carpenter as a pinch-runner and remained in the game to play third base. Carpenter was starting at third in place of David Freese, who is getting days off as he works to correct his swing. Carpenter leads all National League rookies with 20 RBIs and is batting .288 this season.

AMESBURY, Mass. (AP) - Wildlife experts and city officials say reports of wolf sightings in Amesbury are inaccurate, and people are more likely spotting large coyotes and wolf-coyote hybrids.
Mayor Thatcher Kezer says he would be "surprised" if there were actually wolves prowling the city, but he's pretty sure there are plenty of coyotes around - he's heard them himself.
Residents of one neighborhood received an email warning them to be careful walking their dogs because two wolves were seen in the area.
Local and state environmental police say they have received no reports of wolves in town.
Dr. Jonathan Way, an expert on eastern coyotes, tells The Daily News of Newburyport (http://bit.ly/Y8xtDB ) the animals are likely wolf-coyote hybrids, quite common in the region. Wolves are almost unheard of.

Wednesday night's Game 3 of the NLCS featured Yovani Gallardo for the Brewers, and Chris Carpenter for the Cardinals. Or, to put it another way, Game 3 featured both the Brewers' and the Cardinals' staff aces. So one figures Ron Roenicke and Tony La Russa were expecting a little more than they got.
I say that because, with the score 4-3 St. Louis, both Carpenter and Gallardo were removed after five innings. Fernando Salas came out of the St. Louis bullpen to work the sixth, and he did a splendid job, working through the Brewers' 6-7-8 hitters on eight pitches.
Then LaTroy Hawkins came out of the Milwaukee bullpen, and he also turned in a scoreless inning, albeit a more stressful one. Hawkins surrendered a leadoff single to Allen Craig on his second pitch, and Craig advanced to second on a bunt. After Jon Jay flew out, Hawkins intentionally walked Albert Pujols to face Matt Holliday, and Hawkins got Holliday to swing through a fastball to end the threat.
So it's still 4-3 going to the seventh, and Lance Lynn is now in for the Cardinals.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Alexis Sanchez will miss Barcelona's Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday after injuring his leg in his team's 3-1 win over Sporting Gijon.
Alexis went on as a second-half substitute on Saturday and helped Barcelona secure the victory before tearing a muscle in his right leg that will sideline him for 10-15 days.
The forward played for Chile in a friendly against Ghana in Philadelphia on Wednesday and had time for only one training with Barcelona before the Spanish league game.
Alexis missed various games at the beginning of the season with a muscle injury.

Diets always seem to work like magic -- as long as you're a celebrity. Too much baby weight? It'll slide right off with protein shakes. Need to slim down for a royal wedding? Try the high-protein Dukan plan. Need to get into a skintight costume for a film? Time for a juice cleanse! (Oh, and don't forget the daily visits from a high-priced personal trainer.) But guess what? Most weight-loss diets only work for a while, because they're too restrictive and mess up your metabolism. If you want to keep weight off, experts say, you've got to incorporate healthy changes into your life that you can stick with for the long haul. We asked 20 reader "losers" how they motivated themselves and changed their eating habits for good. What worked for them can inspire you, too."Banish the 'D' Word"
To most people, a diet means something temporary -- and awful. A lifestyle is about developing an eating and exercise routine that fits into your schedule and keeps you near your desired weight. It's making the right choices in a reasonable, realistic, and consistent way. That's what worked for me!
- Mary Gregersen, Seattle
I would always hear women say how impossible it is to take off weight in their 50s, but I wanted to prove them wrong. Just eating healthy is a huge part of it, but if I fall off the wagon, I don't beat myself up. I just get right back on. It's all about balance.
- Terri Gerrard, Loveland, Colorado
I don't spend extra money on a weight-loss plan or special food because we're on a tight family budget. So I've lost 23 pounds in the past year by weighing and measuring my food and focusing on portion size. I lose, on average, just half a pound a week, but I've gone down two sizes.
- Stacey DeFelice, Oakdale, New York
I realized I had been taking care of everyone in my life except me. I saw that if I took better care of myself by really listening to what my body needs, such as rest and exercise, we'd all benefit.
- Cecily Whiteside, Grand Junction, Colorado
My eureka moment was when my 3-year-old asked to sign up for a soccer team. I realized that I wanted to be out there coaching instead of just watching, so I had to make some changes to be a great role model for him and his baby sister. I started juicing fruit and veggies for myself, made more dinners at home, and cut out a few lattes each week. Now I'm a coach and I only bring healthy snacks!
- Jackie Damico, Decatur, Georgia
I keep a food journal and it's amazing to see how much you really eat when you have to write it down!
- Donna Woodson, Northglenn, Colorado
I've tried various diets but they always stopped working after a while. Finally, though, I found a way of eating -- more protein and fewer starchy carbs like white flour pasta and white rice -- that I could fit into my lifestyle for good.
- Catherine Donahue, Palm Springs, California
The dinner plate is a thing of the past for me. I automatically reach for the dessert plate for meals. I don't feel like I'm denying myself anything by eating half the amount I used to. Eating it slowly gives my brain a chance to register that I'm full.
- Kathy Bonebreak, Granada Hills, California
My knees were hurting, my clothes were too tight, and I just didn't feel healthy. I couldn't lose weight on my own, but I knew friends who'd had success with Weight Watchers, so I signed up. I feel like it teaches you how to live in the real world. I've lost close to 30 pounds in the past year and I have no more knee or back pain.
- Harriet Shafran, Scotch Plains, New Jersey
On vacation I wanted to go for a ride in a dune buggy, but it was hard for me to get in. Later I saw a photo of me trying to squeeze into it -- I couldn't believe I had let myself go like that. After almost four months, I've lost 35 pounds and plan to lose more. I'm determined to be healthier!
- Kim Knapp, Birch Run, Michigan
My mother had gastric surgery and it motivated me to start eating the same amount for dinner that she did -- about a third of a chicken breast, a few bites of veggies, and a spoonful of dessert. I had read that the first four bites we eat taste the best to us, but we just keep eating in hopes of recapturing that initial pleasure. Now I'm all about fewer bites but more enjoyment.
- L. J. Nielsen, Sacramento, California
When I first started losing weight I loved cleaning out my closet because I was able to get rid of tons of clothes that were too big. While I couldn't afford to replace all of them at once, it has been nice to gradually buy new things in smaller sizes.
- Sarah Smith, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
My husband and I prepare dishes with fresh herbs and homemade sauces that use healthy ingredients like lemon juice, olive oil, red-wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Who
needs to dine out?
- Colleen Millett, Spring Hill, Florida
I was depressed for years and ballooned up to 200 pounds (I'm only 5-foot-3). One morning I got fed up and just put my mind and soul into getting better. I threw out all the junk food and stocked up on healthy options. I used to yo-yo, but in the past two years I've dropped 83 pounds and kept it off.
- Mary Arterton, Bridgton, Maine
First I stopped drinking soda. After a few days of cravings I had more energy. Then I became more mindful of portion sizes and stopped snacking with the kids. I don't want them to see me on some crazy diet. I want them to know what healthy eating really looks like.
- Angie McCormick, Bradshaw, Nebraska
I make and bag healthy, portion-controlled meals and snacks on the weekend so I can grab-and-go during the week and not be tempted to eat junk.
- Molly Ritterbeck, Anchorage, Alaska
The bad economy and being a single mom of three keep me from eating at restaurants very often, and I've started reading labels to make sure I'm not buying junk at the grocery store. The healthier food options are cheaper in the long run anyway. We are also starting to grow some of our own food in the garden.
- Kimberly King, Memphis, Tennessee
I changed my ideas about what makes a good breakfast. I stopped eating cereal and started eating more lean protein, like eggs or Canadian bacon. It keeps me fuller longer so I don't get the midmorning munchies, and it's helped me steadily drop pounds.
- Karen Nicholson-Shields, Kansas City, Missouri
At work I try to steer clear of food pushers, those people who bring doughnuts on Fridays, cakes on birthdays, and who always want to go have a stress-busting lunch. I bring my lunch when I can so I know it's healthy, and I minimize the number of happy hours I go to. Chips and Margaritas every week were making me gain weight.
- Cat Herzon, Los Angeles
