This chair was unbelievably easy to assemble and serves its purpose perfectly. My son is very tall and he is quite comfortable in it. Can't attest to the durability as we've only had it a few weeks so far but it seems to be pretty sturdy. It is exactly as it looks -- mostly plastic and cloth -- but the mechanisms operate smoothly and the adjustable height is great. The only thing that took us a miinute to figure out is that parts of it came preassembled --we thought we were missing screws and bolts needed for assembly as the blister pack in the box was torn open and empty -- but it turned out that those pieces had already been assembled for us.
This is a great little chair for the money. I was looking for a durable, sturdy chair that would be small enough to use with a corner desk and this works just fine!
I needed a desk chair that would fit under a slim desk, and it fit perfectly. The provided dimensions were perfect. I would have preferred a sturdier chair, but this was the only one I could find, that was reasonably priced. I am satisfied with my chair and it is comfortable.
This chair is a but flimsy but is great for the price and perfect for elementary and middle school kids.

Springfield, Mass. - January 26, 2013 - The Springfield College women's basketball team could not complete its late second-half rally as it fell to visiting Wellesley College, 48-38, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play in Blake Arena on Saturday.
Wellesley improves to 10-6, 9-3 in league play, while the Pride's record drops to 3-15, 1-11 Springfield took early control of the game, seizing a 7-2 lead on a jumper by Heather Lewis. Wellesley responded with the game's next six points to take their first lead of the game on a jumper from the wing by Courtney Jackson at a 11:07 mark.
An inside bucket from Jaimie Bickelhaupt the next time down the floor put the Pride back on top, as it would hold the lead for the majority of the first half. However, after another Lewis jumper put the hosts up 17-14 with 3:54 on the clock, the Blue closed out the half on a 8-1 spurt, capped off by a well executed inbounds play in which Malia Maier found Leslie Leong in the final seconds.
Despite making just five baskets in the opening 20 minutes of play, the Pride found themselves trailing by just four, 22-18, heading into the half.
The Blue continued its strong play to start the second half, extending its lead to 29-20 following a layup by Chelsi Scott at the 15:53 mark. Springfield responded with some gritty play, putting together a 7-0 burst to get within two with 12:30 to play. Bickelhaupt provided a pair of jumpers in the run to pace the Pride's resurgence.
After the visitors lead expanded back to five on a Leong layup with 7:40 on the clock, Meghan Biondolillo drilled a three from the left corner to get Springfield back within two at 34-32.
Over the next 5:21, Wellesley scored eight unanswered points to take a commanding 42-32 advantage with just 2:04 left in regulation. Maier canned a deep three which ultimately proved to be the capstone on the run.
Springfield got as close as five on a put-back bucket from Bickelhaupt with 42 ticks on the clock, but the Blue hit four free throws down the stretch and added a Maier fastbreak bucket en route to the 10-point victory.
Both Lewis and Bickelhaupt scored a team-best eight points for the Pride, while Biondolillo and Riley Fake each tacked on six points. Tamara Tribble and Emily Walker each hauled in eight boards and Andrea Moschetta collected three steals.
Maier led all scorers with 13 points, on 5-of-11 shooting, including nailing three from beyond the arc. Scott added eight points and six boards off the bench, and Leong contribute seven points and seven caroms.
For the game, Springfield shot just 13-for-53 (24.5%), but held a 46-43 advantage on the glass. Wellesley finished the afternoon shooting 18-for-57 (31.6%), however outscored the hosts 22-12 in the paint.
Springfield will hit the road this Wednesday when it travels up I-91 to battle Smith in conference play.

The Conservation Law Foundation has urged the government to drop 2012 catch limit for Gulf of Maine cod well below the interim figure of 6,700 metric tons that has been announced informally by the acting NOAA Fisheries administrator as the maximum level under consideration.
Instead, CLF implicitly recommends setting the 2012 allowable catch about 4,000 metric tons, a level that would ensure against dropping the spawning stock biomass below 7,300 metric tons, which was the lowest ever recorded, in 1999.
The 2010 spawning stock biomass was 11,868 metric tons in the 2010 NOAA Science Center assessment that set off the cod crisis.
CLF noted that the government has estimated a catch level of 6,700 metric tons produced more than a 31 percent chance that the catch would push the inshore cod biomass below the lowest level ever.
The 6,700 metric ton figure represents a 22 percent cut from projected landings in the 2011 fishing year ending April 30. Setting the limit at 4,000 metric tons would mark a cut of 47 percent from the current year.
Moreover, CLF, which has become the lead environmental non-government organization in the cod crisis, contends that allowing that much inshore cod to be landed in the coming fishing year would force regulators to make far more drastic cuts in 2013.
CLF also outlined a series of proposed management measures designed to protect the stock and the dayboat fleet that depends on it, including "trip limits on Gulf of Maine cod" and barring boats from landing inshore and offshore cod in the same trip.
David Pierce, Massachusetts' representative on the New England Fishery Management Council, also made the case for protecting the inshore boats from the bigger "trip boats" which have been trawling in Stellwagen Bank, the most productive inshore grounds.
The Boston-based organization is also endorsing the need for a federal "economic disaster" declaration.
In November, before the arrival of the cod crisis, Gov. Deval Patrick, backed by the congressional delegation, filed socio-economic research evidence showing that the fishery was consolidating into an economic disaster through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's catch share system, which is steering more and more permits and quota into the hands of fewer and larger businesses, and away from smaller, independent boats. NOAA's own figures show that Gloucester's fleet lost some two dozen of its estimated 96 boats in the 2010 to 2011 fishing year alone.
To smooth the destabilization of the inshore fishery and avoid pushing the spawning stock biomass beyond a "tipping point," CLF questioned the wisdom of setting the catch level at the 6,700 metric ton level for the cycle beginning May 1.
CLF laid out its case in a position paper released Friday, the same day acting NOAA Fisheries Administrator Sam Rauch signaled 6,700 metric tons as the upper limit for an interim or emergency rule — allowing fishing levels higher for one year than otherwise would be allowed after a dire and surprising stock assessment found Gulf of Maine cod depleted significantly from another NOAA assessment carried out in 2008.
Pierce, the deputy director of marine fisheries and a council member, said at the Feb. 1 council meeting that imposing trip limits and finding some way to police the misreporting of Stellwagen cod as Georges Bank cod were needed.
Leaders of the Gloucester-based Northeast Seafood Coalition, the region's largest industry group and the home of 12 of the 17 catch share sectors, has testified against limiting boats to fishing in either offshore or inshore.
"Removing flexibility would only force boats into inshore areas," Jackie Odell, the coalition's executive director, wrote to board members, sector leaders and allies after the council completed two days' debate on cod two weeks ago.
Rauch's expressed willingness to consider setting a 6,700 metric ton cod catch limit came during a workshop in Portsmouth, N.H., last Friday. Barely a week earlier, the regional fishery management council, an arm of NOAA Fisheries that includes government positions and stakeholders appointed by the Secretary of Commerce, approved a compromise motion asking for a 2012 "interim" catch limit ranging from 6,700 metric tons to 7,500 metric tons.
In arguing for smoothing the catch levels for the coming years, CLF's senior counsel Peter Shelley noted that "given the risks of further potential declines of spawning stock biomass below the lowest levels ever observed, we think it would be just plain wrong and irresponsible to dodge this biological crisis and try to push it off to 2013."
"There aren't any good choices," Shelley wrote, "but there may be choices that are less irreversible or harmful than others. What is the New England council thinking?"
With a lower interim catch level, he wrote, "further declines" in the spawning stock biomass can be averted while "protecting the small vessel, inshore fleet from collapse, reducing the potential revenue differential between 2012 and 2013 catch limits, and providing emergency financial assistance during the bridge period.
"This could be done with a tolerable reduction of five-year net present values for the fleet with a distributed economic income across the groundfish fleet," he wrote. "Available Gulf of Maine cod allocations should be targeted toward small inshore boats to reduce the disproportionate impacts of catch level reductions on this sector of the fleet."

Latin dancers hope to pachanga their way to the top of the leader board
Updated 10:58am Monday 3rd February 2014 in News By Natalie O'Neill
A pair of Latin dancers are hoping to impress this year's Dancing Strictly judges with their sparkly costumes and fancy footwork.
Ray Denny, 51, and Silvia Gamage, 24, will dance the pachanga in the grand final of the North London Hospice contest at Millfield Theatre in Edmonton.
All proceeds from the event will go to the hospice, which supports people with life-limiting illnesses.
Ray, a massage therapist, said: "I've been dancing on-and-off since 2008, so I'm giving it a good go. Our routine's a bit tricky and some of the footwork and weight transfers are challenging.
"But, we'll do our best and the main thing is to have fun. I like to make a difference through whatever I do, and this is great because I love to dance and I can raise some money for a good cause."
The pair are planning to buy costumes emblazoned with sequins to catch the attention of the judging panel.
Silvia, a currency exchange consultant from Finchley Central, said: "Hopefully our performance will go well – I'm really excited but a little nervous."
The pair will compete against eight couples in the final on Saturday, February 22.

Most mistakes with apostrophes occur with pronouns, especially possessive pronouns. For example, the word for belonging to it is its, not it's. Also, the word for belonging to us is ours, not our's.
Apostrophes are not normally used to make plurals, and and you should never use an apostrophe to pluralize a word. For example, the plural of apple is apples, not apple's. The plural of orange is oranges, not orange's.

Children's heart surgeon suspended from hospital
A children's heart surgeon has been suspended from performing any operations at a unit that is facing closure.
The paediatric surgeon, at Leeds Children's Hospital, has agreed not to carry out any procedures while "aspects of his surgical practice" are assessed.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust said he had been asked to stop operating this week after concerns were raised.
But they denied that it was related to recent allegations that they had resisted sending children to a different children's unit.
– Spokesman, Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust
A surgeon in our paediatric cardiac team has agreed not to carry out operations until we have completed an assessment of aspects of his surgical practice.
He has been subject to a specific restriction on his practice over a period of time and we review the position on a regular basis.
This professional review is being carried out within the Trust. It is viewed as best practice and is part of running a safe service.
It is not related to claims currently being made about alleged unwillingness to refer from Leeds to other children's heart centres.

KINGSTON, R.I. (AP) -- Geno Auriemma knows UConn can keep pace with Penn State's high-powered offensive, he'd just prefer if the Huskies didn't have to.
The top-seeded Huskies will face the fourth-seeded Nittany Lions on Sunday in the Kingston regional semifinals. Gonzaga and Kentucky will meet in the second game.
Penn State (26-6) has run its way through the first two rounds, averaging a whopping 87.5 points in its two victories. Still the Nittany Lions haven't faced a defense such as Connecticut, which is on pace to break its own NCAA record for scoring defense.
The Huskies (31-4) are allowing just 45 points a game this season. They've picked that up in the first two rounds of the tournament, stopping Kansas State in the second round by giving up an NCAA tournament-low 26 points.

The family of a North Texas teen with a rare condition is fighting the insurance company over an expensive but "miraculous" drug.
It wasn't long ago that 13-year-old Seth Blake couldn't hold a football over his shoulder, much less throw one to his dad in the backyard of his Grand Saline home.
He couldn't shoot hoops and couldn't horse around with his dog, Sky. He'd get so exhausted he had to stop.
"I was just flat out tired. I didn't know what to do," he said.
Seth has Type 1 diabetes and wears insulin pump. He also has a rare genetic disorder that prevents him from growing.
It made him lethargic, irritable and so distracted that he could barely finish a normal school day.
He was also much smaller and skinnier than most boys his age.
At 12-years-old he weighed only 69 pounds and stood only 4 feet 7 inches tall.
Then something remarkable happened. In February he began getting shots of a drug called Increlex.
The manufacturer sent the family the medication for free while they fought with the insurance company to cover it.
While taking Increlex Seth shot up 10 centimeters and put on 20 pounds.
"It was a whole different world," he said. "I'm not that weak anymore. I've gotten stronger. I'm not that skinny. I've been gaining weight and I just feel great."
The family calls Increlex a miracle drug.
"It's life saving and life changing for him and for our family," Mike Blake said.
But Seth may not get the $20,000 to $25,000 per month drug much longer.
The manufacturer, IPSEN, said it cannot afford to send it out for free forever and the insurance company still won't pay for it.
Cigna said it does not meet the criteria for approval despite Seth's doctor's claims that Increlex is needed for the growth of his organs and is the "only treatment that meets generally accepted standards of medical practice."
The insurance company offered to pay for different growth hormone instead, but it is known to cause insulin resistance which could cause problems and be life threatening for a diabetic like Seth.
Cigna wouldn't comment on the case specifically citing privacy laws.
"Our process for making coverage decisions is based on medical guidelines, specifics of the plan and direct dialogue between our medical director and customers' doctors," the company said in a statement.
The Blakes have appealed to a third party, but coverage was turned down there too.
Seth's doctor said he will need Increlex for another five years through puberty.
The doctor believes if left unchecked his condition could lead to a while host of medical issues, especially if his heart, bones or other organs fail to grow.
At this point the family plans to contact their state representative, the state board of insurance, and started an online petition for help. They are also considering legal action.
"I can't imagine him not getting it," Kim Blake said.
"That's all we're looking for, just an opportunity to live a normal life," Mike Blake added.

Roberto Mancini: Manchester City do not have a realistic chance of landing Wayne Rooney
Man City boss Roberto Mancini does not think he would have a realistic chance of landing Wayne Rooney from rivals Manchester United.
Red Devils chief Sir Alex Ferguson has responded to intense speculation over Rooney's future by insisting the England striker will still be at Old Trafford next season.
But Mancini was still asked whether he might be tempted to test United's resolve over the 27-year-old as he met media to preview his side's FA Cup clash with Barnsley this weekend.
City were heavily linked with a move for Rooney during the player's infamous contract stand-off with United in 2010.
Mancini said: "I think that Rooney is one of the best strikers in Europe but I think it is difficult he can leave Man Utd - I don't think (so)."
Suggestions Rooney could leave United have gathered pace since he was omitted from United's starting line-up for their Champions League loss to Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Mancini says he would be surprised if something such as that led to his departure.
The Italian said: "I don't know. I don't know this situation.
"I can understand maybe Rooney would be upset if he didn't play but these are things that can happen in every team. After one week it is finished."

Set up for the store was most of the beer in the cooler in the far right with a few, mostly cases and six packs on the floor. Singles were available, all cold. The selection was a good range of beers from across the nation, international and local Wisconsin. Pretty good bottle shop, will definitely come back again.

this is a really nice store that surprised me!
Atmosphere: nice big store and it has a clean, new modern look to it. Well organized with a walk in beer cooler, pleanty of wisconsin locals, and a great representation of USA craft beers plus the over seas beers are not forgotten.
Quality: Lots of high quality beer in this store. Glad i used some restraint. Could have easily emptied my wallet here.
Service: Super firendly and very knowledable staff. This really impreesed me the most, but they also have great products in this store which allows the staff to shine.
Selection: Has tons of beers here, one of the better selection I have seen just outside of Madison. Impressive is all I can say!
Value: Not only does this store have great beer and the right people selling it...the price point is either right on or a bargain. Best combination of selection, service, and value I have seen in a while!

Just moved to this area of Madison from a different part of town, and this is my new go-to place.
Woodman's may have quantity, but Steve's has quality. From imports, to every type of New Glarus/CW/FFF/etc etc beer that they can get, to a large selection of bombers, Steve's is my first stop.
Service is fantastic. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. They always gone out of their way to help, or to suggest something that they think I may like.
While I wouldn't call Steve's prices "cheap", they are more than reasonable. And for the quality and service, you can't beat the prices.

Stopped in here Sunday, 1/06/09 to pick up some Founders Imperial Stout, as well as their Double Trouble. In addition to those, I grabbed a single of Capital Baltic Porter, and a bomber of Rogue Yellow Snow, and a sixer of S.N. Torpedo.
They have a great selection here, and from what I can see, it's only getting better. I recently picked up a bottle of Nogne O Imperial Stout, and I also saw Nogne O Barleywine, and another from them. Lots of great Wisconsin, and regional breweries are represented here, as well as national brands. Good selection of imports as well, and this is the only Steve's that still has a walk-in area for some singles as well. The prices are in line with the rest of Madison.
The staff are very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. And I know one of them is a dedicated Beer Advocate. My most recent visit was the single best service I've had at any of my many beer buying trips, since I've lived in Madison for the last 6 or so years. And that's saying a lot.
Also, in the same area, a Buffalo Wild Wings is getting ready to open, and the store is in the general vicinity of Quivey's Grove, which will be handy for those of us who frequent the Quivey's Grove Beer Festival.
Bottom line, these guys know their stuff. Drop in, talk to them about beer, maybe mention you are a B.A. They'll be more than happy to help you out.

stopped in this joint while in the area yesterday for a long day/night of football/drinking/etc
steve's already has 2 of the finer stores in the city so its nice to see that they are to expand, even if the 3rd store is located in the suburban sprawl next to a cartridge world and other silly stores
the PD location is a big airy room, which is quite a bit nicer in appearance than the other stores. i didn't really look through the wine, but it seemed to me that the university ave location had a better selection - i'll have to explore more.
the beer selection is located in a large walk-in cooler, similar to the other stores. There is also a minimal amount on the floor, primarily bombers. There seemed to be more domestic fluff than the other stores, but the craft selection is substantial. All of the 3 floyds bombers were available (moloko, munsterest, dreadnaught). Locals such as new glarus, lake louie and ale asylum had complete lineups, with capital/sprecher/lakefront/tyranena having a number of offerings too. I dont remember much from central waters and would say Riley's is the only place in town to shop for CW.
They had everything you would want from stone that is on the market (double bastard 3L and bomber, 080808, 12th anniv, ruination, oaked, etc), all of the boulevard premium line, breakfast stout/backwoods bastard in 4 packs, and a lot of other stuff you would expect to see at a madison beer store.
this place is young and will probably only improve...i have some friends that live out that direction so i'll be keeping an eye on it. still, its too far from downtown for this to be any sort of regular stop
it doesnt seem to have the character and cozyness of the university ave location but it was much needed in a very big residential area with no other local craft stores that are worth stopping at (liquor town and paradise liquor are both pretty tame)

A 23-year-old man was found guilty of seven of eight charges stemming from two sexual assaults that occurred in early 2013. According to Pinal County Attorney's office, Dakota Williams sexually assaulted a Coolidge man in late January and a woman who needed a ride from Casa Grande to Phoenix in early February. In both instances, Williams allegedly picked up his victims, drove them to a remote location, sexually assaulted them and then left them. He allegedly threatened the man with a knife during the assault. Prosecutors believe Williams targeted the man because he is a transvestite and dresses as a woman and the woman because can speak a limited amount of English and was getting a ride from a domestic violence shelter. Authorities arrested Williams in March. Williams was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault, one count of sexual abuse, one count of unlawful imprisonment and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is expected to be sentenced on Dec. 16 and faces up to 34 years in prison.

Rule 5 Draft nets Phils three players
Club selects pitchers Simon, Warden and catcher Budde
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Still filled with energy after Wednesday's late-night trade for Freddy Garcia, the Phillies took three chances in Thursday's Rule 5 Draft, adding pitchers Alfredo Simon and Jim Ed Warden, and catcher Ryan Budde.Simon, a former Philadelphia farmhand, came via a trade with Baltimore. The Orioles selected the hard thrower from the Rangers with the fifth overall pick, then shipped him to the Phils for cash and catcher Adam Donachie -- whom the Phillies took with the 10th pick, from the Royals. "[Simon] has a power arm," said Mike Arbuckle, the team's assistant general manager for scouting and player development. "His numbers aren't good, but he's been throwing real well in winter ball, up to 98 [mph]. He's one of those high-ceiling, high-risk guys that, based on our reports from winter ball, maybe is starting to put things together. We thought it was worth taking a look." Simon, 25, spent 2006 pitching in the Giants organization, where he'd been since being dealt there with outfielder Ricky Ledee for righty reliever Felix Rodriguez. His combined stats this season with Class A San Jose and Triple-A Fresno were 88 1/3 innings, 119 hits allowed, 70 strikeouts and 33 walks, with a 6.62 ERA. He was signed to a Minor League deal by the Rangers in November and had been pitching in the Dominican Republic. "Command has always been his issue," Arbuckle said. "We view him as a reliever, just a power-arm guy that can come in and blow for a couple of innings." Warden was selected from the Indians. A former first-round draft pick in the 2001 First-Year Player Draft, Warden spent the 2006 season with Double-A Akron and posted a 5-2 record with a 3.05 ERA and 11 saves in 55 games. He held opponents to a .167 batting average. Arbuckle described Warden as a Chad Bradford-type, because of his funky delivery. "He's an interesting guy," Arbuckle said. "He's a different-look guy, a 6-foot-7 sidearmer. He's got a real good sink on his fastball, throws up to 93 [mph] from the side. He's worth taking a look at, because he is deceptive because of his size and arm slot." Both pitchers will compete for bullpen jobs in Spring Training, hoping to be added to a crew that includes Tom Gordon, Geoff Geary, Ryan Madson and Matt Smith. Assuming the Phillies acquire another reliever, they'll have one spot open. Players selected in the Rule 5 Draft cost $50,000. They must make the Major League team or be offered back to their original teams for $25,000.
"We're dreaming on both a little bit," Arbuckle said. "Hopefully, we'll strike lightning, because they're good-armed guys with good stuff."Budde would serve as the third catcher if he made the team, something the Phillies might consider because of Chris Coste's ability to also play first and third.
"We took [Budde] for some catching inventory, [and we will] let him compete," Arbuckle said. "He's a very good catch-and-throw guy with some power. He's got an above-average arm and is a solid receiver. We'll let him play and compare him to the other guys we have."
In the Minor League portion of the draft, the Phillies selected outfielder Victor Hall from the Yankees. Hall, 26, spent last season with Class A Tampa, where he hit .321 with four homers and 19 RBIs. He also scored 48 runs and stole 35 bases in 63 games.

Hanro Luxury Moments Underwire Bra 6 6
Great craftsmanship Simply just a great bra...I would buy another.The straps are sturdy and well constructed. Wish it came in more colors. It's a very comfortable fit also. May 31, 2014
Beautiful and comfortable Very well made and designed. No itchy nylon threads. April 13, 2014
not right for me I wanted to replace a Hanro lace bra I bought from Garnet Hill 15 years ago, and this one isn't it. The old one had a cotton "base" and lace over top; this one is all lace and scantily lined so that it doesn't provide much modesty. Also, the lace rolled up on the front of the bra even though it seemed to be the right size. Good for looks and bare-minimum coverage, though! September 13, 2013
The best bra I ever got! This bra is a terrific buy. I love how it fits close to the skin, and it is true to size. July 20, 2013
Fancy, not Functional First off, the nude color is gorgeous. The detailing is lovely, though not conducive to every-day wear, under average clothes. Do not buy if you need a smooth look. While it certainly looked pretty, the cups had an awkward fit, and the detail underneath the cups became uncomfortable. For the crazy high price, there is no way it is worth it. April 17, 2013
pleasant surprise I am way larger than the model in the photo, so I took a chance that this would work for me. Well, the quality is what makes this product work for me. It fits and looks great with very low neck shirts. May 18, 2012

Memorial party for Ethiopians Leonard Dillon
KINGSTON, Jamaica - A memorial party will be held this Friday at the Double Shot Sports Bar, Baron's Plaza, St Andrew for late Ethiopians singer Leonard Dillon.
According to his daughter Patrice "it will be like a get together with his family, friends and others just celebrating his life."
Dillon died last year on September 28 after suffering from lung, brain and prostate cancer.
The Ethiopians were one of Jamaica's most influential vocal groups. The duo, which featured Dillon and Stephen Taylor, was at the forefront of the transition from Ska to Rocksteady.
Dillon's style and use of Rastafarian-themed lyrics also paved the way for the socially-conscious roots reggae era. The Ethiopians made early impact with hits such as 'Train to Skaville' and 'Woman a capture man'.
Since those first recordings, Dillon went on to record with the likes of Vincent Chin, Prince Buster, Joe Gibbs, Bob Andy, Rupie Edwards, and Lee "Scratch" Perry.
In 2009, he returned to the studio with the legendary Jamaican vocal team The Silvertones to record his album Original Hit-makers from Jamaica, Volume 1: Leonard Dillon The Ethiopian.
In explaining the activities of the memorial, Patrice says she is still working on the details but is certain some of his friends will be paying musical tributes.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday thanked outgoing Pope Benedict XVI
for strengthening the bond between Christians and Jews.
Last week the
pope announced his plans to step down at the end of the month. It's the first
time in 700 years that a pontiff has done so.
"I want to thank you for
all you have done as Pope to strengthen relations between Christians and Jews
and between the Vatican and the Jewish State," Netanyahu said in a letter he
wrote to the Pontiff.
"I thank you also for courageously defending
Judeo-Christian values and the roots of our common civilization during your time
as pontiff," he said.
"Your historic visit to Israel in 2009 offered a
rare opportunity to give expression to the new relations between our faiths,"
said Netanyahu.
"I remember fondly our meeting, in which you referred to
Judaism as Christianity's elder brother and in which you reaffirmed your
commitment to a cooperative future between Christians and Jews," Netanyahu said.

Huskers edge Jays 4-3
Omaha - The 19th-ranked Nebraska softball team rallied from an early two-run deficit then held on late for a 4-3 win over Creighton on Wednesday night in Omaha.
Junior right-hander Tatum Edwards (17-5) won her ninth straight start with a complete-game victory. Edwards fired a four-hitter and struck out 11, while allowing three runs. Offensively, senior Brooke Thomason drove in Nebraska's third and fourth runs, helping the Huskers improve to 26-7 on the year. Freshmen Alicia Armstrong and Kiki Stokes produced two hits each, as Nebraska out-hit Creighton, 9-4.
Becca Changstrom (13-5) took the loss for Creighton, which fell to 19-10 on the year. In a complete-game effort, Changstrom allowed four runs on nine hits, striking out six and walking three.
Nebraska missed a chance to jump out to an early lead in the top of the first inning, stranding a pair of runners at first and second after Stokes and senior Gabby Banda began the game with consecutive walks.
In the bottom of the frame, Tatum Edwards quickly retired the first two hitters before a two-out walk was followed by a two-run homer off the bat of Alexis Cantu that gave Creighton a 2-0 lead.
Sophomore Mattie Fowler pulled Nebraska back within one when she led off the top of the second with a solo home run to left field. Freshman Hailey Decker followed with a home run of her own, launching a 3-2 pitch over the tall center-field wall.
After the early power barrage, neither team threatened again until the top of the fifth. Stokes began the frame with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Banda. Junior Taylor Edwards then beat out an infield single and stole second base to put Huskers at second and third with one out. Thomason then came through with a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Stokes to give the Huskers a 3-2 lead.
Creighton recorded only its second hit of the game when Liz Dike blooped a single down the right-field line with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, snapping Tatum Edwards' streak of 15 straight batters retired. That put the tying run on base and the go-ahead run at the plate in the form of Creighton senior Amy Baker, the Missouri Valley Conference's all-time home run leader. But Edwards struck out Baker looking on a changeup.
The Huskers then gave Edwards another insurance run in the top of the seventh. Stokes reached on a bunt single to begin the inning and moved to second on a sacrifice from Banda. Thomason then brought Stokes home with a clutch two-out, RBI single up the middle.
The insurance run was needed, as Creighton scored once in the bottom of the seventh. Cantu worked a leadoff walk and Bri Lingl followed with a double to put the tying runs at second and third with no outs. A one-out bloop single from Blair Lowe that was just out of the reach of an over-the-shoulder catch attempt from Armstrong at short drove in a run to cut the lead to 4-3. A walk then loaded the bases with only one out before Edwards struck out the next two batters to win her ninth straight start.
The Huskers wrap up their seven-game road trip this weekend with a three-game series at Iowa on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

HAWAII FIVE-0 is a contemporary take on the classic series about a new elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the Islands' sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin), a decorated Naval officer turned cop, returns to Oahu to investigate his father's murder and stays after Hawaii's governor persuades him to head up the new team: his rules, her backing, no red tape and full blanket immunity to hunt down the biggest "game" in town. Joining McGarrett is Detective Danny "Danno" Williams (Scott Caan), a newly relocated ex-New Jersey cop who prefers skyscrapers to the coastline but is committed to keeping the Islands safe for his 8-year-old daughter; and Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim), an ex-Honolulu Police Detective wrongly accused of corruption and relegated to a federal security patrol, who is also a former protege McGarrett's father. Chin's cousin, Kono (Grace Park), is a beautiful and fearless native, fresh out of the academy and eager to establish herself among the department's elite. McGarrett vows to bring closure to his father's case while the state's brash new FIVE-0 unit, who may spar and jest among themselves, is determined to eliminate the seedy elements from the 50th state. Peter Lenkov, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are executive producers for CBS Television Studios.
The night before an election, the governor asks the team to investigate when a prostitute is found dead in a missing congressman's bed; Danny waits for a custody decision.

The sun is out and that means it is time to put on sunscreen.
Helen Rhynard says growing up she was well aware of what the sun can do to your skin.
"My grandfather, he had some lesions on his ears. He was a golfer," says Rhynard.
That is why she does not mess around when it comes to protecting herself and her daughter from the strong rays.
"I'm aware of skin cancer and small cells or cluster cells can form," explains Rhynard.
For Rhynard, being aware means slapping on the proper sunscreen before she heads outside.
Dr. Paul Hazen is the team dermatologist for the Cleveland Indians. He recommends a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 to 50.
"Everybody should wear sunscreen no matter what the coloration of their skin," says Dr. Hazen. "With the increase in incidents of the cancerous moles, it's really important to have something to recognize something that will do the job for that element."
The FDA's new labeling rules include replacing "water proof" with "water resistant" labeling.
Products with SPF 15 and lower must warn that they only protect against sunburn not skin aging or skin cancer.
Despite the warnings, Elizabeth Simonski says she shies away from sunscreen.
"I hardly ever burn," says Simonkski. "I know it sounds really bad but I hardly wear it. My whole life other than when I was little and my mom made me."
Doctors say clothing that is designed to protect your skin also helps, along with hats and sunglasses. There is no such thing as an all day sun protection.

The Nevada Highway Patrol made two separate arrests for driving under the influence and eluding troopers overnight.
Troopers first arrested 35-year-old Jose Galvan-Medina after they say he ignored an attempt to pull him over and continued speeding on Pyramid Way in Sparks around 11:30pm Sunday.
Law enforcement eventually caught up with him near his home where they say he tried to resist arrest, but was safely taken into custody.
About three hours later, a trooper tried to stop 22-year-old Justin Rodriguez for allegedly driving with an expired license plate on Interstate 80 near Virginia Street.
Instead of yielding, the Highway Patrol says he led the trooper onto southbound I-580 and several side streets before finally stopping on Kuenzli Lane just off of Kietzke.
He's facing several charges including DUI, marijuana possession, and eluding a police officer. His bail is set at $8,175.

411 Games Top 5 03.02.13: The Top 5 Playstation 4 Announcements
Posted by
Sean Garmer
on 03.02.2013
From the new Dual Shock 4 controllers and new games Knack and Drive Club to the powerful system specs, the GAIKAI cloud technology and more, the 411 staff counts down their top 5 announcements from the Playstation 4 reveal media event!
Hello everyone, I hope it has been a good week for all the readers out there, next generation consoles are here.
Stephen Randle (Quiz Master of Four Player Co-op, Games Reviewer, and Writer of Wrestling News Experience in Wrestling Zone)
5. Media Molecule's Presentation
- They didn't really name the game, or if it actually is a game or just "look what we did", but that sculpting/art/puppetry show they presented was intriguing to me from a creative perspective. I can't believe it, but they made Move interesting.
4. GAIKAI Tech
- Pretty much everything their rep said, from "try before you buy" to spectating live gameplay to turning the Vita into an extension of the console to the potential for streaming the entire Sony library, was interesting to me. If they can actually accomplish even a significant fraction of what they're promising, it's going to be an incredible experience.
3. Getting Developers On Board
- Sure, they may have taken a few too many shots at the Cell processor, but the message was clear: we went out and got every developer on the planet to help us build this thing. Seeing the sheer number of development teams who appeared both live and in promo videos was a complete 180-degree turnaround from the PS3, where all the news was about how nobody liked programming for its complicated infrastructure.
2. Humility
- Carrying over from appeasing the developer, Sony made sure that potential consumers understood that the message for the next generation of Sony console is "We fucked up with the PS3, we turned off a lot of people, and we're going to make up for it". Sure, it's a PR move, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it, especially after last gen was basically "we're Sony, buy our shit, jerkwads."
1. Console Power
- I don't get horribly excited about hardware specs like some people, but I do recognize that the PS4 will be leaps and bounds more powerful than the PS3. I appreciate this because it means that my console will no longer be a more expensive, less powerful PC, but instead on par with the rest of the technology I own, and that means more possibilities for what the system can do. While a lot of what was presented may end up being "pie in the sky", the specs as delivered at least make it plausible that some, or all, of what Sony has promised may be delivered.
Sean Garmer (Games Reviewer, Games Top 5 Organizer)
5. Media Molecule's PS Move Thing
At first I was confused, but after it was all over I was sort of intrigued by what I had seen. Is this a sculpting sim? Will this be an extra feature that comes with the PS4 out of the box? I don't know the answer because Media Molecule did not provide any concrete information, but this could be something that makes the PS Move relevant. It's certainly way better than the horrendous show killing Wonderbook of Spells they showed off at E3 2012.
4. Dual Shock 4
So, maybe the design of the controller is not much different than Dual Shock 3, but I am interested to see what Sony will have developers do with the touchpad, how the controller can be used in motion gaming, and most of all the lovely share button. I'm not someone that enjoys watching "Let's Play Vids" but I would like to show a friend how to beat a level, especially since most of my friends live far away and I may not be available to do the "watch them play and take control" thing that Gakai wants to do. Now, with a click of a button you can upload a gameplay video that a friend can watch and use as a guide without all the hassle of having a camera, uploading to youtube, editing, and whatever else. This is certainly a great thing for Sony.
3. Creativity Abounds & Holiday 2013 Release Date
Sony wasted no time having people come up on the podium and talk about how great the PS4 is going to be. What interested me more is that everyone talked about how imagination, creativity, and freedom were going to be possible on this system. Developers could finally make the games they always wanted on the PS4 and the best part is that the system will be integrated with everything that's needed for that. I concur with Randle that I don't go crazy for "Specs" either, but I have to say that after hearing all the developers talk about the PS4 I really want to see what they show off at E3 2013 now. We all knew a Holiday 2013 release was coming, but now everyone can officially start hyping up the release window.
2. Knack & Drive Club
I would have put Watch Dogs here, but I've already seen it and the video they showed did not make it look like a PS4 game to me. Knack is a new IP that seems promising and the premise of the character is interesting but I hope we get to see more about him at E3. I wasn't totally blown away by Driveclub, but watching the way the cars were recreated and the feeling you have of being "in" the car was very cool. I totally think this could give Forza a run for its money and Gran Turismo needs to be careful of becoming extinct as well.
1. Gakai: A World of Possibilities
Randle mentioned that a lot of what was announced about Gakai, such as the "hoping to one day have the entire playstation library available on the service" being pipedreams and he is probably right. However, I think one thing that they announced is not something too farfetched. The ability to be able to demo anything in the PS Store before playing is something I'd love to have. There are so many games that do not tell you enough through a "trial" you have to play whole levels before understanding the experience. There were a lot of XBLA or PSN games I may have bought if I was able to play the game for a while. I also think the ability to watch your friends play a game will help drive sales because it can help gamers make decisions a lot easier than just reading a review or listening to a friend talk about the game. So, maybe none of these things happen, but you never know they just might.

The Jeffco Sheriff's Office has announced its three remote slash drop-off dates for this summer. Jeffco again will team with mountain fire departments to host the sites.
Slash disposal became more of a challenge when the Rooney Road Recycling Center stopped accepting organic material in 2012. Jefferson County has received a grant for an "air curtain" burner for slash, but a location hasn't been decided yet.
Once more Evergreen Audubon has made some bluebird and chickadee nest boxes for sale. The sale this year will be held on Saturday, March 8, beginning at 9 a.m. at the King Soopers in Bergen Park and in Conifer. If you need bird boxes, this is the time to buy them. They will be available until they are all sold, so get there early. If no one is there selling boxes, they are sold out.
February creeps to a close. It is to me the most dreary month of the year. The pleasantness of the Christmas and New Year's holidays is over, and winter seems to really settle in, with both more snow and colder temperatures.
June is such an amazing month. Everything is making record growth and suddenly seems so full.
The valleys that were bare all winter are now full of green willow leaves. Aspen are in full leaf; suddenly everything appears over-stuffed. It is a pleasure to see the spring green, which makes everything come alive.
This winter has brought unusually large incursions of snowy owls into the northern states. These big white beautiful owls nest on the arctic tundra, well above timberline, and regularly winter across southern Canada.
Probably the most common animal to be seen in this area is the red fox. When we first moved to Evergreen in 1965, there were only gray foxes to be seen, but it wasn't long before a red fox moved in, and then gray foxes disappeared. For some time now, red foxes have dominated in the area to the point where I have not seen a gray fox for a long time.
Sitting on the ice as a gusty breeze whipped across Evergreen Lake, Evan Gerbe was trying his luck at ice fishing for the first time.
"It trips me out," Gerbe said as he looked at the 2-foot rod he was dangling into a hole cut in the thick ice.
Gerbe lives in Washington state, where he fishes for salmon with a 9-foot rod in a fast-flowing river. While visiting his mother in Evergreen, Gerbe said, he decided to participate in the second annual ice fishing derby on Saturday.
Today has been a gloomy winter day. No sun has shone through the cloud cover. The forest appears almost black, draped in ermine robes. We have about 6 inches of snow on the ground and more promised. It has been a depressing day, though the sun is supposed to shine tomorrow. It will be good to see blue sky and bright sunshine even though it will still be cold.
Editor's note: The following column is reprinted from Jan. 2010. Sylvia Brockner's column will return next week.
Feb. 2 is Groundhog Day, a day that doesn't have much significance here, but it does in the northeastern states, especially Pennsylvania, where it started.
Jefferson County Open Space has set an extensive list of goals and priorities for improvements to parks in its system this year.
Trailhead construction is planned at Matthews/Winters Park and in the western portion of Mount Falcon Park. At Apex Park, there are plans to build a bike skills challenge course, with an estimated completion date in November.
Lair O' the Bear, Mount Falcon, Matthews/Winters and Pine Valley Ranch parks are slated for restroom replacement. At South Valley Park, a san-o-let will be replaced with a vault toilet.
