Have you ever had a sore back? Not fun right? You can probably imagine that ranch horses get them too, since their back is our seat. You've heard the phrase: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Well, Wilderness Trails teaches riders that when they mount up they need to try to put themselves on a level with the horse's back. Whether it is using a log, a rock, or a fence- we try to elevate ourselves to make it easier on the horse's back when we mount up. Still, there are horses that can get sore from time to time. When we have a horse that seems tender we call in a horse chiropractor. It was amazing to watch Chiropractor Clay work! In the picture below he was working on our horse Ember. Some of the things he did may appear to be painful- but as we watched Ember he started licking and chewing after the chiropractor was done- which is a horse's way of saying: "That feels gooooood!" Ember's attitude even changed! He was less cranky and was moving better. It was a really neat thing to see, and not something you get to see everyday!

There is a concern – a sincerity and attention – involved in the way Adrienne DeLiso and Flash Corbisier speak, listen, and take photographs. They are the team behind 1881 Western Photography CO.
Both Adrienne and Flash have unique backgrounds. Adrienne's father was a professional photographer who specialized in ballet, so photography has been a part of her life from the beginning. She herself has twenty years of experience as a professional, and if you ask her about photographing whales or other wildlife, her eyes will light up. Flash has experience as a painter, graphic designer, animator, art director, and has been shooting professional shots for almost a decade. Both of them are passionate about capturing equine culture. They appreciate the range of expression - from the roughest of cowboys to the most carefully groomed and trained horses. For the past eight years, 1881 has been specializing in equine photography. Adrienne and Flash study different riders and horses in earnest. "Horses are some of the most beautiful animals in the world," says Adrienne with a glow. Really – these images say more than I can hope to about the quality of their work. These eight photos represent the more artistic side of what they do, but it's just the tip of an iceberg. If you come to The Ranch, you will also get to enjoy the personalized images that they capture of you and your horse. They will get you in different moments so that you can create the perfect scrapbook of your time here riding with us. If you are as awed by their artistic images as I am, you can purchase them when you visit The Ranch or at their website: www.1881wpc.com.
Rico is a mellow Paint who gets spunky when he works cows.
Copper is a smooth ride, and he doesn't eat much along the trails. He is responsive to leg pressure and thrives with cattle and arena work.
Pistol is sassy but responsive and easy to control.
Big Splash – named for a "splash" of white across his belly – is like a giant puppy, sweet and playful.
Hot Shot needs an experienced rider. He is a good lead horse. Everyone who rides him loves him.
Besides having the coolest haircut, Sonic is responsive, strong, and gentle.
Ali Fischer will liven up any ride with her burbling laugh. She got her first horse – a chestnut Gelding with a white blaze – when she was ten. His name was Comanche. When she says that riding is "just a hobby" for her, I remember the deep shimmer in her eyes when she described Comanche and think there may be other words in her. Regardless of the language used, Ali has an interest in being out at the barn as a wrangler. Her favorite thing about riding is the rush of galloping; "no surprise there," I tease her when she tells me this. She enjoys the trails out here and the opportunity to help other people learn.
Smokey, a Gelding, has smooth gaits, especially his trots. He can be a bit of a trickster with the wranglers; he enjoys pulling the radios off their belts and knocking off their hats. He is playful, but sweet and reliable with a compassionate temperament.
The sisters Belle and Button are said to be part unicorn, and Belle's mane certainly suggests magic. Both are super sweet and gentle.
Sideburns is an excellent cow horse. He is mellow and athletic – meaning he is still responsive even at a fast pace, and he has good endurance. He is a favorite among the wranglers because his long back makes him a velvety ride.
Austin is strong and requires an experienced Western rider (no tight English reigns for this guy). Those that can match him find him to be a super, fun ride; he's surefooted. Drifter is known for his creamy-smooth gaits. He even has a nice running-walk. Those that ride him compare the experience to gliding on water.
Jenni Darlow exudes strength and grace as she stands in a meadow that sweeps into distant peaks. It is a prime spot to enjoy "the view down the valley" – one of the things that keeps her coming back. This is her tenth season as an employee here at The Ranch, but she has actually been coming here since she was a nine-year-old girl – proud of her white, fringed boots. In fact, it was The Ranch that got her riding and keeps her riding. The "feel of the place," her relationship with the Roberts' family and other wranglers, and the connection she has with the horses keep her coming back to this valley. She teaches dance lessons, works with kids, and, of course, wrangles. The rest of the year she teaches math in Durango, so she knows this area. Standing in the meadow in her cowboy hat and pink-checkered shirt, Jenni is at ease; she is clearly home.
Paden is tough and he pays attention with quiet concentration – so I don't recommend messing with him. He has been coming out to The Ranch since he was a baby, and this summer, at the ripe age of ten, he is helping to take care of the horses out at the barn. "What do you like about being here?" I ask. Paden takes a moment to consider the question before he answers, "I like how the ranch is so fun. I like meeting new people. I like all the fun stuff I get to do." In terms of riding, his favorite thing is "enjoying the ride and the pretty country." Paden has ridden calves and steers in rodeos too, but it isn't the main thing that makes him a cowboy. No, the main thing that makes him a cowboy is his heart; he's got that grounded gentleness about him that only the truest and best cowboys have.
Splash, Sport, and Gidget have been known to vanish into their sizable grazing area like giggling children – a bit to the dismay of our wranglers. But what can we do? They're buddies. Splash is an Appaloosa. He is a fantastic kids' horse, slow and steady. Sport is also an ideal kids' horse; he instinctively knows to be mellow with young kids especially. He is a little, white pony – small and spunky. Gidget, too, is a favorite with kids; in fact, there is a whole file in our office of valentines addressed to Gidget from some of her past riders.
Colonel is a Quarter Horse, steady and solid. His chestnut hair has been adding its hue to The Ranch for eight years. He is calm, surefooted, and easygoing. Colonel is perfect to help riders build confidence.
Our aptly named Preacher is majestic and gentle. He is a Percheron Quarter Horse mix and has a bit of a spark beneath his relaxed demeanor. He is so deeply black and big he looks like a piece of night sky. A few years ago, Preacher was the groom's horse for a horseback wedding.
Juice, a Sorrel Gelding, is a wonderful kid and teen horse because he is well-behaved. He is a sweet boy and a pleasure to ride, especially at a trout or canter. He has polite ground manners too.
We often think of cowboys as riding off into the sunset; maybe it's because true cowboys burn with a comparable flame. Nathan Brown certainly blazes with light from the soft amber of his eyes down to the sunshine that flashes from his spurs. But Nathan is more solid than a metaphor, and his commitment to being a cowboy is deeper than an image from a movie. If you ask him why he became a cowboy, he can't answer you – it is, quite simply, what he is. Although he insists that being a cowboy means "a journey of learning," and he does not claim to have arrived – nah, he's having too much fun with the gettin' there. He grew up riding in Eastern New Mexico and pursuing the facets of this lifestyle is his ambition. The benefits of his focus are obvious – he knows how to ride, rope, shoe horses, and brand – he is a craftsman of bits, spurs, buckles, moccasins, gun handles, medicine pouches, holsters, chaps, and more – he sketches landscapes, horses, and portraits – he is, in short, engaged with every aspect imaginable in his pursuit of excellence within this realm. Nathan is also a rodeo bronc rider, has worked on a number of big ranches throughout the West, and travels with his two superb horses – Cosby and Ben.

The community at Wilderness Trails Ranch is truly a rich one – with chefs, artists, a massage therapist, dogs, melodic birds – the list could go on. Of course, most visitors to our ranch are eager to meet our horses and wranglers, and they are a lovely crew. To this aim, each week from now until the end of July six horses and one wrangler will be featured here on our blog.
Rick and Red, our gentle giants, are Belgian Draft Horses. They have been with The Ranch for ten years and team up to provide our weekly hayrides. Being in their presence inspires awe, and the opportunity to benefit from their considerable strength and grace during the hayride is a highlight for many. They are also our resident stars as they have been featured in several movies.
Ember was born on The Ranch in 2002, the year of the fire – hence his name. Ember, a Morgan Quarter Horse, is super gentle and playful - ideal for beginning riders to help them build confidence and develop a deeper sense of joy while riding.
Tigger is a favorite among guests because he is highly responsive. He is a perfect fit for people with riding experience. Tigger was born on The Ranch and was Lance Robert's private horse for many years. The evidence of his loving training is evident to those who ride him. He is a Quarter Appaloosa Horse and has half-brothers who also live with us here at The Ranch.
Lenita, a Paint Mare, requires a confident rider. For those looking to build a relationship that requires more attention, Lenita provides a more complex riding experience. She is appreciated by our wranglers because she calmly walks to and waits in her stall each morning. Lenita was born here at The Ranch and is known for her lasting love for Sideburns, another one of our horses.
Willa's eyes will tell you how kind she is, and, indeed, this Percheron Quarter Horse mix is a favorite. She is highly responsive and enjoyed both by beginning riders looking to build confidence and experienced riders who want to enjoy a week of ease. Her strawberry-roan coloring is unique, and those that ride her may find themselves enchanted.
"I don't remember learning to ride" smiles Kathryn Forynski as she watches the horses graze. An unsurprising comment considering that Kathryn's mother first took her up into the saddle when she was only four-days old. Kathryn grew up riding Arabians in Bedfordshire, England where she was also an event rider in cross country, jumping, and dressage. She will tell you about it – with her customary reserved sweetness – if you ask. Kathryn has been with The Ranch since 2008, and she greatly enjoys the relaxed approach of Western riders. She respects the gentle power of horses, and the feeling of oneness that often arises while riding ties her heart to them even further. Part of what keeps Kathryn coming back is the trail riding; "There's always something new to notice" she says. And she's keeping her eyes open for elk shed because she wants a pair of antlers to paint pink and hang on her wall.

Hello "Gidget Fan Club"... Thank you again for a bushel of Valentines for Gidget!
In the winter the horses are pastured on the mesa south of Durango. Of course they are enjoying the warm, kind of mild winter and getting a bit chubby.
As I walk towards Gidget (the most famous horse of them all) with a hand full of valentines, she seems to know I am coming to talk to her specifically. I am pretty sure she knows she is the star of "every child's horse dreams".
Gidget has been treating children to an outstanding week of horseback riding for many years.
Valentine's day is a big day for Gidget, as we read valentine after valentine. She bows her head to listen and is simply such a real sweetheart!
There are some horses you know love the children... Our Gidget is one of those amazing horses.
We are looking forward to another season.
Locals don't forget to reserve your spot at this year's youth camp, booking up quickly...
Youth Camp starts June 11th, 2012. Call for details. (970) 247-0722
Join us at the ranch, the week of August 19th, 2012! It's a lot more than spectacular horseback riding, especially this week!
On Monday August 20th we are going to Durango for the start of the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge! Wow, how exciting to be part of this international event!
Don't forget we do have incredible mountain biking at and surrounding the ranch too. From mild to wild, come "ride the ridges" with WTR mountain bikes or bring your own!
If you want to ride hard, ride often, ride slow or ride relaxed either on a horse or on a bike, well, "you got it, dude"!
Of course you can always enjoy the same daily incredible horseback riding, from cattle work to incredibly beautiful half or full days rides in the largest wilderness region in the mainland United States!
As many of you remember we collected suggestions to name our filly (baby girl horse).
She was such a cutie running around the front pasture, getting all the attention and hanging out with Pepper, Piper, Chica and her mom!
By the way to clarify a foal is a baby horse, a filly is a girl and a colt is a boy!
Anyway we had such a darn hard time trying to pick a name for this cutie! So, we came up with a plan!
We thought to ourselves, what can we do? Oh cool, we'll get our friends and guests involved!
We narrowed it down to "children's entries only" (our WTR kiddos) and then put them in a hat and pulled out 14 names.
Here is where we need your help. Now until November 30th, we would like for you to email, facebook or call with your vote on the name to choose from the list below. That name with the most votes will win and we will crown our little girl (now not so little) with her new name.
We will announce the name the foal on December 2nd, 2012!
Names pulled from the hat (Gene's hat of course!) are:
Cora Gaelic, Wild Flower, Chica, Raven, Moonbeam, Shadow, Pina (pronounced pine-a), Cocoa, Kitten, Sunshine, Lae-Lee, Maddie, Chloe and Dixie Doodle
So there you have it. Please email, fax, phone or facebook and let us know your vote!
Of course children are encouraged to participate in this event! So what shall her name be?
Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had at WTR. We are still going through withdrawal, missing our horses and all the wonderful people we met. There were so many things that we were impressed by: the beautiful location; the quality of your horses and what we learned about horseback riding; the great food and accommodations; the opportunity to meet other guests; and especially your staff, all so friendly and outgoing.
Ever since I was a little kid I've dreamed of being a cowboy and you guys made it possible. It's easy to see why everyone comes back year after year. Maybe one day I'll get one of those 10 year buckles, if not I'll have my ashes sent over and you can scatter them from Vista Grande!
Thank you for a wonderful week at WTR. We all had a ball! For the great riding, great all-day rides, gorgeous scenery, wonderful horses, wild tubing/wakeboarding, delicious food, delightful fellow guests, fun wranglers, great staff, invigorating yoga, relaxing fishing, comfortable cabins, great dance, adorable rodeo. We loved everything.
The extended Dunlap family have declared our week "the best vacation ever." Where else can 13 people of all ages do what they want in such a gorgeous setting?
I want to thank you deeply for setting up a wonderful week. The pace of each day, the options offered, the care with which you and your staff attend to even the smallest tasks, the flexibility, your unflappability, and your sincerity have combined to make Wilderness Trails Ranch a special place.
Our stay exceeded expectations. The kids were so polite, they outdid themselves. The cook—unbelievable! We can't wait to come back! Thanks Jan and Gene—you made us feel "at home."
This has been the best vacation ever! The staff does an excellent job! The meals, wranglers and overall experience was top notch! Thank you for everything!"
Thank you for your warm and genuine hospitality—from the comfortable accommodations and first class meals to fulfilling my dreams as a "City Slicker Cowboy." You have a terrific staff who are fun, professional, responsive, and attentive. You exceeded my expectations in every way.
I am quite sure there are many beautiful ranches in Colorado, but it would be difficult to find one with such a total package: Staff, food, horses, activities, and accommodations!
May 2009 - "This was the most enjoyable vacation I've ever had! The staff, accomodations, location and horses are top notch! Awesome adventure! Thank you for a wonderful week!"
We knew a good time was to be ours at WTR, but the final result was FAR beyond our expectations. You have set a very high standard for your staff and facilities. All 18 in our family came away with a renewed enthusiasm in our lives and an imprinting of an extremely fond memory.
"WTR is a gem! Outstanding in all areas! An exceptional experience in an exceptional place, led by exceptional people! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Something for everyone!
We were so impressed with your staff and how efficiently things were run. We said it ran like a "well-oiled machine," but that's not entirely true. A machine doesn't have heart and your staff had that in abundance.
Your staff is wonderful—polite, well-trained, efficient, and enjoyable to be around.
You have set the standard of excellence in how you want the ranch run; how you want your wranglers to handle the horses and to interact with the guests; how you want the children to be challenged; and how clean you keep the place from the cabins to the tack room to the property. I loved seeing the impact of WTR on newcomers and cherish my own moments. Until I drag my boots from the closet again to return to the ranch, I send you my best regards and thanks.
July 2009 - ""This has been a holiday of a lifetime and we have enjoyed every minute from the riding, the staff, the guest and the whole experience! The staff were great!!!"
Our children haven't stopped talking about their trip to the ranch and about "their horses." Phil says it was the best vacation he has ever had with the family and is ready to do it again next year! And that's saying a lot, considering he has bad allergies to just about anything with 4 legs, and I was the one who planned the vacation this year!
Saddle tramps children's program is excellent! My 7 year old is very happy and pleased!
I can honestly say your ranch is the best run, well organized and welcoming place I have ever been. In this day and time a place that is good, wholesome and supports family time is a rarity. I thank you all for the way the week at Wilderness Trails blessed our family.
My week at WTR was wonderful beyond my dreams!! Full of horses and great horsemanship, new friends, great food, spectacular scenery and most of all GREAT hospitality!! Thank you for sharing your world of horses and life in "God's Country."

Marcello Lippi has made his final substitution in the 56th minute, bringing on Andrea Pirlo in what could be seen as a final act of desperation.
Pirlo missed the first two matches of Italy's World Cup with a calf injury, his absence pointed to as a reason for the Azzurri's lack of attacking prowess. Not starting the final group match, it was though Pirlo's injury had not improved enough to play, but now down 1-0 with potentially just over a half hour left in their World Cup, Italy has brought Pirlo on.
Italy had used their previous two substitutions coming out of half time, bringing on Fabio Quagliarella and Christian Maggio.
If results hold, Italy will finish last in Group F, with Slovakia going through in second place, behind Paraguay.

Went on a Wednesday night at 6.
Do you like drinking your craft beer out of an opaque and coloured mug? That is the $9-16 question...
'Frankie's Pizza' says the neon sign above the multi doorway. Two black imposing doors - unsigned - are the entry point , a little confusing first up. Down the stairs into a small retro-Pizza eatery-styled bar area with stool and wooden booths. Then through more doors into a much bigger back bar area, with tables and comfy booth type seating. Dark and full of posters on walls of 70s 80s bands. So in theory it looks great, but I dunno, it is just missing a little something.
[It's owned by the people who own the Baxter Inn, but the vibe just isn't quite the same.]
Music gets loud enough to impede conversation after 7:30.
Onto beer, and the oft-mentioned plastic mugs. Prices are from around the $9 mark for locals up to $16 for imports. On reflection, it's too much much for a beer that is not well presented. 8 taps and a hand written tap list on the bar - which can be difficult to read. Did not seek the bottled list.
Staff know their beer and are professional and friendly.

Owned by the people behind the Baxter Inn, the place that used to be Hunter Bar is a pizza joint in the front and self-proclaimed dive bar in the back. The front bar has checkerboard floors, photos on every wall and garlic hanging off the walls as well. Pizzas are sold individually for around $16 or $5 a slice, hence the pizza joint theme. The front bar has a few bar stools and low seating at tables. The back bar has a long wall of booths plus table seating while the other long wall is the bar. Up one end are pinball machines.
So, not the usual craft beer bar. It has a shtick. Do I like it? Not real sure, having never been to a US style pizza joint. Certainly it goes for a shtick and some will love it, others not.
Trading hours are from 4pm to 4am every day of the week. Generally there is a security staff member out the front. The glassware used is plastic, which upon my first visit, I thought was a hipster thing. However, on subsequent visits, chats with the staff inform me that it is a licensing requirement that they are required to sell from plastic glassware after 12 midnight, so they figured they'd keep it simple and do it all the time. The usual serving glass is a handled mug, which I was told held 347ml.
The bottle list has good breadth. There are currently 46 offerings, from Budweiser to Mikkeller Black Buffalo, Cantillon Gueuze, Baird Sayuri Saison, Moylan's Old Blarney and Mikkeller Red White Christmas, covering a wide range of styles. I was told the bottle list will change monthly. The tap selection has 8 taps, most of which rotate. Boags Draught appears to be the sole macro offering for each visit. Other taps at the moment include Rocks Hangman Pale, Rocks Boxer Red Ale, Moylan's Hop Craic XXXXIPA, Marin Point Reyes Porter, The Grifter Drop Dead Red Belgian IPA plus 2 that I can't recall. Out in the back bar are all the aforementioned, plus Illawarra Wit and HopDog Children of Darkness. Overall it's a good mix of locals and imports across quite a few styles. I was impressed that they had a Moylan's tap handle on the font.
Service is friendly, happy to explain what's on tap and hand over a bottle list every visit so far. They were also happy to talk beer and offer samples of some of the beers, even heading out to the back bar to grab a sample of the HopDog, which wasn't ask for, but provided anyway!
The Point Reyes went for $10, the HopCraic for $15 a glass. High of course, but for CBD Sydney, it is probably around the mark. Bottle prices are variable. A few picks below $10 and ranging up to $160 for a Jeroboam (3L) of Duvel. I thought the Mikkeller Black Buffalo at $40 was decent when compared to bottle shop prices and a 1.5L Mikkeller Red White Christmas is a steal at $30. However, 375ml Cantillon Gueuze at $25 is a bit much.
Overall it's a good beer bar going off the first few visits. Something that Sydney really needs, particularly in the CBD. Justin Hemmes had the chance with 30 Knots and spurned the opportunity. Hopefully the staff members maintain the enthusiasm and the beer list remains interesting and relevant. Obviously the plastic glassware isn't great, but certainly worth visiting.
Edit - 21 January 2012 - the plastic glasses now come in white, green and blue plastic mugs as well as clear plastic. So hipster crowd it most certainly seeks.

To the editor:
I am dismayed by Lisa Fornero's letter on the Gloucester school program for universal breakfasts (letters, the Times, Tuesday, June 4).
I, too, am a teacher, wife and a mother to two children, and I was thrilled to learn about the program.
I worked in Lynn, so I, too, understand the effects of poverty on students. Myself and my husband attended the very same meeting as Mrs. Fornero. I was floored by how negatively she saw this opportunity. The meeting was in the middle of the day. Both Frankie's parents attended. That child is loved and cared for. Not every child in this city has it that good.
According to the Department of Eduction, 57. 9 percent of Beeman's current students come from low-income families. That is well above the state average. It's exactly why Beeman was among the schools chosen for this program. If we can help those students by feeding them breakfast in the morning, then it's worth it.
I don't believe that Frankie's learning is going to suffer in any way just because other children are eating healthy food.
Statistically speaking, students do better when they have been fed. That little bit of extra time in the morning spent making sure everyone has had the option to eat goes a long way toward getting students, especially young children, to sit down and focus on the rest of their day. And when you take into consideration that young children learn through play and socialization, just being in a school with other children is helping Frankie learn the skills he will need to get along with his peers later in life.
I would also like to say that Principal Sibley was very clear that the schedule still needed "tweaking." It will take time to adjust. I just wish she had done a better job at explaining the benefits of children eating together. It becomes a daily bonding ritual which helps ease into the work day, takes away distractions caused later in the day due to hunger and removes the stigma attached to "poor kids" who get free breakfast in the morning.
I do not see this as an "unnecessary" change. I stand in support of any program that will help students succeed.
If Mrs. Fornero is so concerned about the lack of "instruction time," and the vast list of things that bother her, then maybe a public school is not for her.

Name: Summary of the probe development effort to identify inhibitors of Protein Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4)
RA is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disorder that affects about one percent of the US population [1]. Existing therapies treat the symptoms of the disease but not the underlying cause, and are associated with numerous side effects [2]. The activity of Protein Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4), one of four known active PAD isozymes, is increased in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA); where it is thought to generate a subset of antigens that the immune system recognizes as foreign [3]. Genetic, serological, and biochemical evidence suggests that dysregulated PAD4, and potentially PAD2, activities play a role in both the onset and progression of RA [1]. Cl-amidine, a compound that specifically inactivates PAD4, reduces disease severity and incidence in the collagen-induced model of arthritis (CIA) (unpublished observations). However, because Cl-amidine inhibits all of the PAD isozymes with equipotency, it is unclear whether the observed reduction in disease severity is due to the inhibition of single or multiple PADs. This is particularly relevant because both PAD 2 and 4 are overexpressed in the joints of patients with RA [4]. Thus, the identification of PAD selective inhibitors would facilitate the characterization of their individual contributions to the onset and progression of RA and represent a promising novel therapeutic approach for RA.
Summary of Probe Development Effort:
This probe development effort is focused on the identification of PAD4 inhibitors. All AIDs that contain results associated with this project can be found in the "Related Bioassays" section of this Summary AID.

Templates in Newsletter Module
6 August 2009 at 9:24pm
I have created one newsletter HTML-template which works nice. I copied it, renamed it and tried to use it as the base for another type of newsletters. The second one seems to be "text-only" although the template files are identical. Oviously to say that I want to have the second newsletter also being in HTML.
Any ideas?
Wouldn't it be nice to have separate categories in the forum for some popular modules like newsletter, userforms etc.? W

Why Bother? A Moral Choice for Young ArtistsIn the wake of some truly disgusting activity in the gaming industry right now, I've been grappling with a moral dilemma concerning what I would recommend young artists do with their chosen career paths.Phil Fish HackedPhil Fish, the creator of FEZ, is pretty much universally hated by people online. Recently he spoke out in favor of Zoe Quinn, creator of Depression Quest, who was herself under fire from internet thought police for "corrupting" games journalism's integrity by sleeping with journalists to get favorable reviews of her game (allegations which later proved to be untrue). Because he spoke out in favor of Zoe Quinn, Phil found himself under a massive internet attack, wherein hackers compromised his SSI, passwords, Polytron's PayPal account, and other sensitive data.In the wake of the attack, Phil Fish is now selling off the rights to FEZ and to Polytron. He left with this rather depressing twitter message: "I

Sticker shock at the gas pumps in California -- already high fuel costs jumped up 20 cents a gallon overnight because of shortages after a refinery fire in the Bay area back in August.
Inventories are at their lowest point in more than a decade.
California's fuel costs have gone up 40 cents in the past week.
Costco, which typically sells cheaper gas, has closed some stations.
A number of other stations have run out of gas.
The average price for a gallon in the Golden State is $4.49, but it's even more expensive in some California cities.
In Calabasas, a Low P gas station was charging $5.69 a gallon for regular unleaded. "It's not our fault" signs were seen on the pumps.
In other parts of the state, AAA says the cost was $4.59 in San Francisco, $4.53 in Los Angeles and $4.52 in San Diego.
In Arizona, the statewide average is $3.68. In Flagstaff, drivers are paying $3.89, $3.73 in Prescott, $3.66 in Phoenix, $3.52 in Tucson and $3.76 in Yuma.
This is normally the time of year when we see valley residents escape to the coast, but we didn't find any on Friday -- perhaps because of those crazy prices.
We did find a couple who was in town for business out of Los Angeles and they say the prices in California are brutal.
"I think it's ridiculous," said Linda Coburn, a California native, who was shocked by the valley's reasonable gas prices.
"They're actually pumps closed at our town," she said.
"They're locked in..no choice," said Duane McCully, who has family in California, but has put off a road trip because of the steep prices.
"It's worse there. I feel sorry for the folks," he said.
When drivers cross state lines, they'll be seeing about a dollar difference. In Arizona, the price just dropped to $3.69, but in California, prices at some gas stations are a whopping $5 a gallon.
"I'd rather be there than over there. Much better here because of gas prices," said Ray Serena.
Drivers like Serena are feeling fortunate to coast valley roads instead of California ones.
Is he hopeful prices will come down?
"I'm sure they will. They have to. People can't survive that kind of change," he said.
Reports say California drivers will likely see relief next week. According to GasBuddy.com, prices might continue to climb over the weekend.

Lye all set for surprise results
Updated 11:53am Monday 17th March 2014 in Football
LYE Town boss Martin Thomas expects more twists and turns as his side battle for the West Midlands Premier League title.
Second placed Lye are one point behind leaders Shawbury United after drawing 0-0 last Saturday when away to third placed Sporting Khalsa.
Thomas feels his side should have won the game and said they will be looking to bounce back when they take on Willenhall Town at home this Saturday (3pm ko).
He said: "We played well and had three chances cleared off the line. Even though I think we should have won, it is clear that there will be many more twists and turns along the way.
"Shawbury are now top and will be looking behind them. They are the team with that burden on their shoulders now, let's see how they cope.
"We have been in this position last season and that experience will only benefit us this time around.
"We are keen to bounce straight back and will be fired up for Saturday's game against Willenhall," he added.
Thomas has also said that his new-look strike force is showing signs of becoming a dangerous unit.
Returning forward Ricky Anslow started up front with Kevin Nickle and new addition James Spray last weekend. Steve Weaver also came off the bench to feature.
"There is good signs there already," said Thomas. "All four of them now need to start to form a partnership and be able to work together.
"All of them will have a big part to play for us."

Key West Half Marathon Run
16th Annual Key West Half Marathon & 5K Run
Sunday, January 18, 2015
Recognized by Runners World magazine as one of the 10 great half-marathons of the winter season, this competitive race has attracted more than 1,000 annual participants and follows a 13.1-mile course through Old Town Key West past historic landmarks and the island's scenic waterfront. Marathon runners flock to Key West each year, which takes runners on a course to see the wildly colorful sights and sounds of this island at the end of the Florida Keys.
About the Key West Half Marathon Course
Fast, flat, and scenic throughout, the course takes participants mostly around the edge of Key West, and includes a bridge crossing over Key West's Cow Key Channel to Stock Island and back, for a run around the Key West Golf Course and Country Club. There's also a stretch of the race that unfolds through CB Harvey Rest Beach Park near the White Pier, where you can get spectacular views of the sunset later in the day.
This 13.1-mile course for the race starts and finishes at Dante's Restaurant on Caroline Street, on Key West's western end. From there, the course winds its way along several twists and turns through the city streets, turning on Duval Street, Eaton Street, and Whitehead Street before hitting longer straightaways along Atlantic Boulevard and South Roosevelt Boulevard, which is also part of Florida Highway A1A.
Through out the race, runners enjoy views of the ocean waters for virtually the entire course, and pass by local landmarks like the Key West lighthouse, famed author Ernest Hemingway's house, downtown Key West's "old town" area, and the southernmost point in the United States. The biggest elevation change (and the most challenging point in this flat, beginner-friendly race) is the bridge crossing over to Stock Island, over the Overseas Highway. Runners cross the bridge twice - once going over and once coming back - and then head along Key West's northern edge for the second half of the race heading back toward the finish line.
Even though the race takes place in January, it still typically offers relatively warm weather, so runners from cold climates are encouraged to stay well hydrated throughout the race, as aid stations will be available every couple of miles with water and Powerade.

Gremlins & Contest News!
Hi everyone--as you are all aware, Blogger's been experiencing gremlins the last few days and as a result comments were lost and posts deleted. Hopefully this is the end of their reign of terror, but I wanted to apologize to anyone subscribed by email who may have received months old posts in their in boxes as a result of their meddling. Hopefully if you did, it was only a single post and nothing that clogged your box too badly. :)
We were going to have a guest post today on Voice by Janet Gurtler & a SIGNED Giveaway for her awesome book, I'M NOT HER, but I don't feel uber confident trying to launch a contest today when Blogger's still fixing itself. Check in tomorrow for both her take on FINDING VOICE, and for the giveaway!
And stay tuned for next week when we announce a NEW THESAURUS to add to our collection!

Flexible work: Adjusting the when and where of your job
Elka Maria Torpey
Job sharing
Job sharing allows you to cut back on work
hours and still get tasks done—with the help of someone
Essentially a type of part-time work, job
sharing is an arrangement in which two or more workers are
responsible for the duties and tasks of one full-time
position. Some job shares are set up so that each person
handles specific duties; others involve less formal
divisions of work.
Job sharers usually coordinate their
schedules. Each works at times or on days that the other
does not. The percentage of time worked by each might be
50-50 or any other agreed-upon combination. And job
sharers often plan to overlap some hours so that they can
fill each other in on what the other has missed.
Pros and cons. Job sharing
allows part-time workers to fill positions that typically
require full-time work. And sometimes, this arrangement
allows workers to keep half the benefits of a full-time
If you enjoy working as part of a team and
are open to letting someone else take over some of your
job tasks, then you might be well suited to job sharing.
Ideally, job-share partners should work well
together, which can include having similar work habits and
complementary strengths and skills. Being able to
communicate with your partner is also important.
Occupations with easily divisible tasks,
such as dental hygienists, are usually more conducive to
sharing. Still, some job sharers find that the arrangement
creates added complexities. And like those considering
other forms of part-time employment, you must decide if
you're willing to live with less pay and fewer benefits.
How to get it. Job sharers
don't always find their own partners. But for some
workers, this is a critical step. You might partner with a
current coworker or with almost anyone your employer is
willing to hire, so long as he or she is qualified for
your job. Networking with friends and colleagues can help
you identify possible partners. Or use job-share
advertisements in trade magazines or other publications
that are read by workers in your field.
[Table 2]
Because BLS doesn't collect data on job
sharing, it is difficult to know just how many job sharers
there are. Most of these workers would be counted among
the BLS total for part-time workers.
On-call, temporary, contract, and seasonal
Maybe you would be willing to work as
needed, provided it fits your schedule. Perhaps you want
to work 2 days one week and 5 the next. Or you might like
to work full-time but have summers off. To increase your
time off, consider seeking jobs that involve on-call,
temporary, contract, or seasonal work.
On-call arrangements involve working as
needed—and, sometimes, at the last minute. For example,
nurse Doris D'Errico works on call. When hospital
administrators need someone to cover a shift, they contact
her. "I usually know a couple of weeks ahead of time
when I'm going to work," says D'Errico.
"They can call on the day I'm needed, but I have
the option of saying yes or no." Typically, she must
work a certain number of hours each month to continue the
Temporary arrangements are those in which
workers are hired by an agency to provide short-term help.
Because these workers decide whether to accept the
assignments offered to them, they may have considerable
flexibility over how much they work. And even though
individual assignments may not be permanent, many
temporary workers take these jobs regularly.
Contract arrangements can also give
workers control over their assignments and hours. Some
contract workers are hired by a contract firm to perform a
job, often for a specified time or task. Others are
independent contractors and sell their services to
companies as freelancers or consultants. Some independent
contractors might work in wage and salary positions, but
many others are self-employed and find their own jobs.
(Self-employed workers, more than half of whom are
independent contractors, are discussed in more detail on
page 24.)
Seasonal jobs offer blocks of time with less work. If
you choose to pursue seasonal employment, however, keep in
mind the times or seasons that you would prefer to work.
Tax preparers, for example, have more time off between May
and December, whereas construction and landscape workers,
especially those in colder climates, often have reduced
workloads during the winter.
Pros and cons. On-call,
temporary, and contract workers usually like that they can
choose among the assignments offered. Plus, hourly
earnings are sometimes higher for these workers than for
permanent employees. And seasonal workers enjoy having
periodic work that is fairly predictable.
But not having a consistent income is one
obvious drawback to any job that allows time off. Some
jobs, such as those in teaching, take this into account by
apportioning salary over the entire year. Other workers
take multiple seasonal jobs—perhaps working as a camp
counselor during summer months and as a school field
hockey coach during the academic year, for example.
Having a sporadic schedule is less
problematic if you have another source of income or if you
don't have other pressing commitments. D'Errico, for
example, uses her earnings to supplement her retirement
income and can usually change her plans on short notice,
so the uncertainty is not a problem. "With my job,
there's no guarantee that I'll have work," she
says. "The hospital can call and tell me to stay
home, and that's fine for me. But this would be a
downside for someone who was counting on that money or who
had already arranged for babysitting."
An additional consideration for these jobs
is that the agency or firm that matches you to temporary
or contract assignments takes a percentage of what you
make. And although some of these arrangements might
command higher hourly earnings, other employer-provided
benefits are not always included.
How to get it. Jobs without
long-term commitments are available in many fields. In
some cases, their prevalence makes them easier to get.
In February 2005, there were nearly 2.5
million on-call workers, according to BLS. On-call
opportunities exist with employers such as construction
firms, hospitals, schools, retail stores, and public and
private utilities.
Temporary workers are hired across a variety of
occupations and industries. Many temporary workers provide
administrative support or do assembly work in factories.
Government, construction and manufacturing firms, schools,
and hospitals employ large numbers of contract company
For seasonal jobs, employers also vary.
Seasonal work is common in retail trade, educational
services, and agriculture, recreation, and construction
Independent contractors are the largest
segment of these types of arrangements. In February 2005,
BLS data show that there were about 10.3 million
independent contractors, a number which accounted for more
than 7 percent of all workers. Independent contract jobs
are especially common in construction, professional and
business services, and financial activities firms.
BLS data also show that in February 2005, there were
more than 1.2 million temporary-help agency workers and
813,000 contract company workers. These jobs can
frequently be found in a specific type of firm: a
temporary help agency or contract firm. Agencies and firms
will match worker qualifications with available jobs and
pay for the work that is done. To locate an agency or firm
near you, contact the American Staffing Association.

The Detroit Red Wings trail 2-1 in the third period of Game 3. They're in the middle of a strong charge at the Nashville Predators net, and they seem ready to tie the score at any second.
... if Pekka Rinne lets them, that is.
He's arguably the best goaltender in the NHL for a reason, and he seems to play better the more he's challenged.
(Okay, it's possible this puck hit Kevin Klein's stick, and that it's a bit of an optical illusion. The GIF tells whatever story you'd like it to tell, so it's up to you. Either way, Rinne is really good.)

"You gotta give it a little dance to go in," Glen Davis said when asked why he was high-stepping backwards down the court after hitting a fadeaway. You read that right: "Big Baby" hit a fadeaway (!!!) and danced back down the court, willing the ball into the hoop. It was truly a wonderful moment.
But just as nice was Davis explaining why he felt the urge to break it down. It was emotion, he said, and sometimes a shot on the rim necessitates a little dance to help it along.
The lesson in all this? "Big Baby" needs to be on camera more often.

Your weekly roundup of the smaller Penn State sports, complete with plenty of forced "Archer" jokes!
The Most Powerful Penn State Teams Of The Big Ten Era #psu #pennstate (by @EpicTripod)
Short story from the CDT discussing some of the traffic logistics that may need to be resolved as part of the planning/building process of the Pegula Ice Arena. Issues discussed included the need for additional turn lanes, and the loss of 227 staff/faculty parking spaces. Further discussion was tabled until August, when the finalized study should be ready.
Bill Downey will be coming to Penn State for a third time in his life, as he was named the new Director of Hockey Operations. After a very successful playing career with the Icers, Downey bounced around some scouting and assistant coaching jobs before returning to Penn State as an assistant coach from 2008-2010. This past year, Downey worked as the Director of Hockey Operations for Harvard. A great asset to Penn State hockey, and a great guy all-around. Welcome back (again), Billy Downey!
You will have to excuse my lack of updates and haphazard nature of this update in particular. Between the basketball coaching news, and the fact that I'm not used to having to write about the Icers...
Big news out of the ice hockey world today, as Princeton's Guy Gadowsky has been named the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions hockey team starting in 2012-13.

After an onslaught of rumors and media games from the athletic department, the Penn State Nittany Lions officially announced yesterday the new head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions NCAA DI...

Super Bowl musings from the couch:
• There was a lot to like about Fox's coverage, especially Joe Buck's diligent play-by-play and the superb production, with ample and timely use of replay. Buck — always in command — gives yards gained as quickly as anyone in the business after plays, and his timing was impeccable, noting the Packers had no sacks 10 seconds before they recorded their first one (during the third quarter).
Fox wisely used replay not only to show the previous play but also to capture the reactions of players and coaches, including injured Packers CB Charles Woodson, whose concern was evident when Pittsburgh made a big play. Random crowd shots were kept to a minimum.
• Troy Aikman's delivery lacks pizzazz, but he's meticulously prepared and better than most in dissecting strategy. He was sharp on Super Sunday, including on Pittsburgh's unsuccessful final drive, when he knew Mike Wallace had no idea what the correct route was on second down.
Aikman told us early that the Packers "really like" the matchup of WR Jordy Nelson against the Steelers' cornerbacks. Bingo! Aaron Rodgers threw to Nelson for a touchdown soon after.
Aikman also said early on that the Packers want to get the ball to Greg Jennings in the middle of the field and said "if Pittsburgh is vulnerable in any area consistently," it's down the middle. Jennings used the middle of the field to catch a second-quarter touchdown pass as well as a key 31-yard reception in the fourth quarter.
• Because Super Bowl audiences include so many people who don't watch a lot of football, Aikman should have known better than to use jargon such as "gap integrity" without elaborating.
• Best off-field video shot: Cameron Diaz feeding popcorn to Alex Rodriguez in a Cowboys Stadium suite. "I'm sure Alex is thrilled we put the camera on him at that moment," Buck wisecracked.
• Most mindless pregame segment: The red-carpet celebrity interviews, most marked by insipid dialogue. When Michael Strahan asked actor Tim Olyphant, "What's the game going to come down to?" Olyphant was stuck for an answer, as if he had been asked to explain nuclear physics. Memo to Fox: Asking multiple celebs "Who's going to win?" gets very old, very quickly.
• Most educational pregame segment: Fox's Mike Pereira, the NFL's former vice president of officiating, shared factoids most viewers wouldn't know: Super Bowl officials study film of the teams before the game and ask both head coaches if they're planning to run any different or unusual plays.
• Breathless hype award: To Fox host Curt Menefee, who has a habit of overselling everything. Too many interviews are ones "we won't want to miss." Several times, he called Bill O'Reilly's chat with President Obama an interview that "all of America has been waiting for" or some variation of that.
• Odd end to an interview: Terry Bradshaw — who ripped Ben Roethlisberger earlier this year — told him that "it's important I have a relationship with you." Then Bradshaw told viewers, "It's important that he and I get along."

Shari Laws is a self-proclaimed Starbucks fan and was especially disappointed when she had return her Starbuck's 8-cup coffee brewer.
"I really like it because you didn't have to poor the water in. The container came out you took it to the sink. I loved it, it worked fine," Shari raves.
But last October it had to be recalled nationally. The CPSC says defective electrical wiring makes it a fire hazard.
"And I live in a wood house so it's probably a good idea that I send it back," Shari adds.
And she did that right away. She was told 3-4 weeks after receiving the product, she should expect a check.
But that never happened and by now two months had gone by, along with dozens of calls she made to the company that were unsuccessful.
"I'm going to give you another week," says Shari explaining what she told a Starbucks representative by phone. "And if I don't hear something in another week, I'm going to have to call the news."
7 On Your Side contacted Starbucks giving them the tracking number, proving Starbucks received the product last November.
Starbucks replied right away, telling us Shari's refund was one of a few that slipped through the cracks.
By the next week she received this $110 check in the mail.
"You go Christine! I was so happy. It was so nice. I appreciate yall's help so much," says Shari.
She says the money will come in handy for her pet shih tzu who's expecting puppies.
"Oh I'm pretty sure [Little Mermaid] is going to need shots," says Shari.
Sorry Little Mermaid...that may be a problem 7 On Your Side may have to take on another day.
Shari says after all this she has nothing against Starbucks and will continue to patron there.

Darton State College leaders are holding a news conference on campus to discuss heat injuries to three of its wrestlers.
Two Darton State College wrestlers remain hospitalized after collapsing from the heat during practice.
"In terms of reducing the workouts, giving extra water sessions, in addition to speaking with the team the night before about proper hydration and nutrition, taking some of those preventative measures, but ultimately that appears that it wasn't enough," said Darton Athletic Director Mike Kiefer.
At the end of practice Wednesday, two other wrestlers were rushed to the hospital. One of them is Ben Richards who is in critical condition.
Athletic Director Mike Kiefer confirmed that wrestling practice has been canceled for the rest of the week.
As WALB News 10 reported yesterday, three Darton wrestlers collapsed from the heat during practices this week.
