The Spokane County Sheriff's Office has a person of interest in the Chanin Starbuck homicide investigation but will not immediately release the suspect's identity as detectives continue to gather evidence.
Starbuck's body was discovered in her Deer Park home on Dec. 3 after neighbors became concerned about the accumulation of mail in front of her house.
The Spokane Medical Examiner's Office determined that Starbuck was strangled a few days earlier.
As part of the investigation, the Spokane County Prosecutor's Office has asked a Spokane County Superior Court judge to seal a search warrant for the next 30 days as detectives investigate the suspect's activities.
Starbuck, a single mother of five, recently began dating. Many of her dating partners and her ex-husband, Clay, have come forward to supply information and DNA samples.

DALLAS –– After being exposed for its bungled regulation of Yellow Cab, a spokesperson for the city of Dallas says it is expediting the process to get Yellow to come into compliance with insurance regulations.
Critics say Dallas has for years granted special treatment to Yellow by allowing it to self-insure. Self-insurance turns a cab company into its own insurance company with an incentive to deny injury claims to save money.
On Sunday following an emergency meeting, the council gave Yellow 30 days to comply with city rules. But concern is growing over having more than 800 cabs on the road without proper insurance and a city spokesperson says that put negotiations into overdrive.
Public records show Dallas knew Yellow Cab was self-insured, putting passengers at risk. For reasons it cannot explain, the city let it happen. Injured people say Yellow tried to save money by denying their claims.
Diana Lambert was injured in a Yellow cab wreck. Yellow says its driver, a sub-contractor, is at fault and the company should be held blameless.
"I can't work anymore. And I've worked all my life. My life has just been upside down, as far as living," Lambert said.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings says the city and Yellow are having "a lot of conversations right now" to eliminate the company's self-insurance practices.
And now, News 8 has learned, this emergency goes beyond the city of Dallas. It now appears Yellow has operated without the required insurance at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, as well. DFW is the most important taxi hub in North Texas.
Proof of insurance, filed by Yellow at Dallas City Hall, clearly shows the company is "self-insured" for the first $250,000 of its $500,000 policy. That violates city code. But for reasons the city of Dallas cannot explain, it allowed Yellow to break the rules.
At DFW Airport, self-insurance is also against the rules. Yellow turned in an insurance document to officials there that certifies it has $500,000 of coverage. It makes no mention that its drivers are self-insured. And DFW was unaware Yellow self-insures News 8 told them.
Rawlings said he does not believe an independent investigation is warranted of special treatment for Yellow.
"First of all, everybody is investigating already," Rawlings said. "So, we're going to get that information. So, just the normal course of me asking questions, we're going to be investigating."

Does the job
By yup1957
from Undisclosed
Comments about Frigidaire 6,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner:
Nice, quiet running unit and does a great job at cooling the bedroom. The only complaint I have is the units design allows a lot of light to enter the room from the sun. No way to block it because it's an outside vent on the unit. Not a big deal for day folks but not ideal for us night workers. Thus the reason for the 3 rating on design.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Engineering Disaster
By Farmer Frank
from Hunterdon County NJ
I had to return the first one purchased as it sounded like a band was playing inside the unit. Then the second one (same model)sounded like a sprinkler was spinning around inside. Electrolux Customer Service offered no assistance--PC Richards was great in replacements to other brands--Problem is in the new engineering design has no outside drain for condensate.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Awesome A/C

About Me Quality Oriented
I bought this for my bedroom back in May. I have no complaints whatsoever. Even during our 90+ weather, it kept my room comfortably cool. I was so impressed with the performance of my little A/C, that I bought another,larger unit for my living room.
Too loud
By Frank
from New york
No I will not recommend this to anyone, I went to buy LG air conditioner but they didn't have so I end up buying this junk. I still have LG AC in the other room which is so quite you won't even notice its on. But this one makes all kinds of noises, the fan is making noise, you could hear the compressor noise loud and clear.
Cools BUT Irratating Noise
By John Wantagh
from Wantagh, NY
About Me Value Oriented
This AC makes a noise that comes and goes, and becomes annoying after awhile, especially if you install it in a bedroom. This unusual noise for an AC is not a rattle or clicking, more like some foam or paper is being wisked by something for a number of seconds, then goes away. We have reintalled the AC twice thinking it may be how it's set in the window, but it's not vibrating and is installed correctly. Been told it may be the water build-up in unit being picked up and sprayed inside unit by its fan (poor engineering). Tried tilting it more to ensure water drains but, no luck.
Dont bother wasting your time.
By Billy Mac
from Asbury Park, NJ
Don't waste your time on this unit, No matter what you read.I'm 58. I bought it. I've had many AC's. This one is one of the worst.
By Sarah the let down
from Queens, NY
I bought this unit because of the reviews (there were more than one)and the price, and I had a previous model of a frigidaire for years that I loved.It took me a little bit to install, since you have to add the sides yourself and the top bar. It is a lot heavier than my last model.But once I got it in it was nice and quiet.. or so I thought.It certainly cools, however the auto regulate is always on.. Which means it turns off at a certain temperature. So if I want it set at like 72 degrees, it will stop. And then I have to lower the temperature way down to get it running again, and it will turn off immediately again. There is no option to turn this auto regulate off- from what I have found. And also, there was a rattling inside.. It is not as quiet as I had Thought, Not sure if they gave me the floor model or not. But I am thinking I need to return it, it is not normal. Disappointed.

It's a good one
By Tax guy
from Norwalk, CT
Purchased 6/18/10 and installed it in a bedroom window. It's quieter than our other one, but it's still an air-conditioner. I recommend it. Does a good job cooling the room down. If you buy in CT, ask for a rebate form. You get a $50 refund from the State for buying an energy efficient model.

This route lies on the right (east)- most solid buttress of the South Face of the Echo Cove Rocks. It is approached via a few slab moves to a small ledge. Climb this line of 6 bolts on the rounded, bulging arete to the top. The crux is down low, starting off of the ledge with a huge high-step to get feet above the bulge. The handholds here are small and sharp. The route felt like 5.10c to me, but will be far harder for those far shorter. Flexibility might make up for height until such point that the good hand-hold can not be reached.

Centrica ends plan to build UK nuclear plants
LONDON (AP) - Centrica PLC, the owner of British Gas, is pulling out of plans to build four new nuclear power reactors in Britain, citing uncertainty over the overall cost of the project.
Centrica said in a statement Monday that pre-development costs were approaching a cap of 1 billion pounds, ($1.6 billion) and that a detailed assessment convinced the company not to proceed with the project.
The move comes four years after Centrica struck a 2.3 billion pound deal with Electricite de France SA (EDF) to take a stake in EDF's nuclear business in Britain.
Centrica said its 20 percent interest in the eight existing nuclear power stations in Britain is unaffected by Monday's decision.

GOP's Anti-Jeremiah Wright Strategy 'Incendiary, Racially Tinged'....But Wright Himself Isn't?
Thursday's New York Times off-lead by Jeff Zeleny and Jim Rutenberg was intended to cause heartburn for the Mitt Romney camp: "G.O.P. 'Super PAC' Weighing A Hard-Line Attack on Obama."
The ad strategy, which was aborted after the Times ran with it on Thursday's front page, would have emphasized Obama's controversial Chicago pastor, the racially inflammatory Jeremiah Wright. But the Times as usual described Rev. Wright's anti-white jeremiads in bland terms, burying Wright's 9-11 quote that the attack was "America's chickens are coming home to roost," and left out his notorious "God damn America!" rant completely. That distanced approach matches the paper's reluctant Wright coverage during the 2008 campaign.
Zeleny and Rutenberg wrote:
A group of high-profile Republican strategists is working with a conservative billionaire on a proposal to mount one of the most provocative campaigns of the "super PAC" era and attack President Obama in ways that Republicans have so far shied away from.
Timed to upend the Democratic National Convention in September, the plan would "do exactly what John McCain would not let us do," the strategists wrote.
The plan, which is awaiting approval, calls for running commercials linking Mr. Obama to incendiary comments by his former spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., whose race-related sermons made him a highly charged figure in the 2008 campaign.
"The world is about to see Jeremiah Wright and understand his influence on Barack Obama for the first time in a big, attention-arresting way," says the proposal, which was overseen by Fred Davis and commissioned by Joe Ricketts, the founder of the brokerage firm TD Ameritrade. Mr. Ricketts is increasingly putting his fortune to work in conservative politics.
The $10 million plan, one of several being studied by Mr. Ricketts, includes preparations for how to respond to the charges of race-baiting it envisions if it highlights Mr. Obama's former ties to Mr. Wright, who espouses what is known as "black liberation theology."
Another significant caveat was downplayed in paragraph 11:
The document makes clear that the effort is only in the planning stages and awaiting full approval from Mr. Ricketts. People involved in the planning said the publicity now certain to surround it could send the strategists back to the drawing board.
But it serves as a rare, detailed look at the birth of the sort of political sneak attack that has traditionally been hatched in the shadows and has become a staple of presidential politics.
Only in the fourth-to-last paragraph was Wright actually quoted:
The plan is designed for maximum impact, far beyond a typical $10 million television advertising campaign. It calls for full-page newspaper advertisements featuring a comment Mr. Wright made the Sunday after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "America's chickens are coming home to roost," he said.
Not content to criticize the strategy on political grounds, reporter Jonathan Weisman played the race card in a followup blog post Thursday, "McCain Rejects Racially Tinged Attack on Obama." So it wasn't Rev. Wright who made "racially tinged" attacks, only GOP strategists?
Senator John McCain, who refused to make President Obama's association with the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright an issue during his 2008 presidential campaign, repudiated a proposal by Republican strategists to "do exactly what John McCain would not let us do" -- open an incendiary, racially tinged attack on the president.

Romney's Strategy for Losing the Election
Submitted by berlet98 on Fri, 05/18/2012 - 2:39am.
Romney's Strategy for Losing the Election
With Barack Hussein Obama's candidacy on the ropes thanks mainly to his ineptness and far-out ideology, Mitt Romney could very well be America's next president if he really wanted to be.
Apparently, he doesn't.
Our economy is stuck in the doldrums, the unemployment rate stands at 8.1%, Obama's "evolution" on homosexuals marrying other homosexuals alienated what remained of his support among Christians and other traditionalists, and now it's been reported that his former literary agent said he was "born in Kenya" and his old spiritual adviser has ratted him out.
Had Mitt Romney written the script for his becoming the 45th president of the United States, he couldn't have done any better.
Yet, Romney is on the verge of blowing it by taking the high road, the same road to ignominious defeat travelled by Sen. John McCain in 2008.
Four years ago, McCain opted against winning the presidency by telling it like it is about the character of his Democrat opponent and instead ran an ultra-principled race devoid of any references to Obama's character or his toxic past.
He thereby removed the most potent evidence that the junior senator from Illinois was an extremist who would cause great harm to the country. That evidence, combined with Obama's lack of experience, qualifications, and moral rectitude, could have resulted in an implosion of the presumptuous Obama campaign and given the U.S. a war hero and seasoned statesman as president in lieu of a "neighborhood organizer."
McCain chose to ignore Obama's tainted background, his close associations with extremist domestic terrorists such as Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, and his 20 years in sitting in the pews of black racist Rev. Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright's Trinity United Church while Wright spewed his hateful venom against white people and our country.
McCain lost, America lost, and the United States was saddled with the most left wing, most divisive, most incompetent, most pro-abortion, and the most disastrous leader in our history, Jimmy Carter not excepted.
2012 is shaping up to be what Yogi would have called déjà vu all over again. . .

Submitted by Bliggie on Fri, 05/18/2012 - 10:18am.
I went to the NYT link yesterday through Drudge and the whining and complaining from the leftists on there was laughable. They kept going on and on about "rich guys taking over politics" and "this was over in 2008" and "this is nasty/dirty politics" and lastly the best communist/socialist argument when they can't debate facts, "it's obvious they are attacking Obama because he is black, and they even use his middle name!". The hypocrisy from those people is almost unbelievable. The fake rev wright IS RELEVANT because any person that associates with racist hate groups should not even be considered for POTUS. And I told the libs on there if they can't take it, don't dish it out.

That the GOP took the gloves off and gave the leftist Dem party a taste of their own medicine. The elite media is not going to like or be fair to any Republican or conservative candidate no matter what. It makes me angry that these people caved and wouldn't go ahead with this. I'm sick and tired of spineless politicians who think they will be liked if they play nice to libs. And it's also funny that anytime the Dems attack Republicans and try to destroy their families it's just "politics" but when GOP politicians question or criticize its "hard line" or "heated rhetoric", I think the American people are tired of it and if the REPUBS would only take them to task, they would get our support.

No way they can be matched. They wrote the book on the art of the smear. But maybe imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery.

I mean it's not like the media dug up a 50 year old high school story of Romney for Obama and the Dems and it's not like the elite MSM attacked Romney and a GOP superpac ad that doesnt even exist, the one talking about Hussein Obama's past with known racists terrorists and other anti Americans, you know liberals. Hey wait a minute, the DNC media and the DEMS did do that. And talk about smearing? We won't even talk about how leftists disrespected GW Bush, and yet the hypocrites get up in arms when they even suspect someone will attack them in the way they attack conservatives and their families. The truth is we don't care about a leftist double standard, you and your peeps aren't setting the tone anymore. We want our candidates to confront and criticize Obama and the Dems on all fronts. It's typical though, that's why I think liberals and jihadists have such a love and respect for one another, the most intolerant people demand the most tolerance.

Race War and the P.C. Media
Submitted by berlet98 on Sat, 05/19/2012 - 5:55pm.
Race War and the P.C. Media
DrudgeReport.com's Friday headline, "Race Related Hate Crimes Up, Coincide with Obama Presidency", seemed to confirm what most people who follow the news already knew, that since the election of Barack Hussein Obama, incidents of blacks attacking whites had increased wildly, maybe exponentially.
Not so.
First of all, it's difficult to determine numbers since the MSM rarely notes the race of the alleged criminals, a description that could aid in their apprehension. Secondly, much of the media don't bother to report black racist crimes at all.
In any event, the linked article from ABCNews referred to the reaction of "white supremacist groups" to Obama's presidency, not to the proliferation of black violence.
Indeed, ABC never saw fit to mention that proliferation, instead focusing exclusively on the increase in the number of white militias–from 150 to 1,274 over three years–who are incensed over "changes in demographics" and resort to violence, while never citing a single instance of that violence. (http://abcn.ws/LjAC3H)
Correction: "what most people who follow the news already knew" should read, "what most people are oblivious of" since the mainstream media, often with the complicity of law enforcement, has long been engaged in a concerted effort to conceal the extent of black hate crimes.
There are various reasons for the MSM's failure to fulfill their fundamental journalistic responsibilities to the public of reporting news objectively and honestly.
Some in the media claim they are striving to avoid stirring up dissension, although they had no problem distorting facts related to the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case and causing nationwide upheavals with their proven misrepresentations.
Others claim black on white crime isn't inspired by hatred of Caucasians but by poverty and discrimination which, in turn, somehow inspires blacks to attack whites in droves even though worse poverty and discrimination existed years ago and didn't effect the mayhem we see today.
What most of the lamestreamers won't admit is that they tailor much of the news to benefit Democrats and, especially, Barack Obama.
Featuring story after story involving black people assaulting, robbing, maiming, and murdering white people might awaken Americans to the reality that there is a one-sided race war in progress in America which could negatively impact Obama's re-election chances.
Of course, First Lady Michelle Obama is on record as saying that every negative critique of her husband must incorporate a racist component, an odd opinion in light of Obama's proclamation of a "post-racial America", and an opinion that puts a damper on any implied criticism and automatically labels the critic a racist.
Lady O's tactic is a variation on the theory that a great offense trumps any defense.
Noted African-American economist/philosopher/professor/prolific author Thomas Sowell is a keen observer of social trends in the United States. He is also fully cognizant of our race war and often goes on the offensive to illustrate the perils of that ongoing conflict. . .

Cooperstown Crier
---- — PumpkinFest has become such a wonderful tradition in Cooperstown.
The two-day event is certainly unique to anyone who has not seen thousand pound pumpkins before. Pumpkins and other items grown in the garden are weighed, judged, cooked, eaten, painted, carved … But what makes it most interesting is the Regatta- when some of the pumpkins (squash have been used in the past as well) are brought to Lakefront Park, hollowed out and raced across the lake.
Word is obviously getting around about this event because more and more spectators come each year, and finding a place to actually get to see the competition is hard. In response the Cooperstown Chamber, which hosts the event, began a live video stream of available at www.ustream.tv/channel/cooperstownchamber. It can also be viewed after the races.
While this may allow for more people to see the races, it is not quite the same as seeing it live. The community is lucky to have such an event, but it would be nice to make it more enjoyable for visitors. Yes, the entertainment is free, and there is a lot to do down at the lakefront other than watch the races, but that is the main attraction people want to see.
Let's face it; it is not every day you get to see people paddle a pumpkin across water and it certainly has more appeal live.
If you go and are not able to get a good spot to watch the races themselves we recommend watching the launch process. Watching staff and participants get pumpkins into the water and seeing if they are going to float can be the most exciting part of the day. Organizers typically begin that process at around 11 a.m. and there is a little more room for observation.
There are very few places one can go to see pumpkins that are actually large enough to be made into Cinderella's carriage. Festivities will begin Saturday as pumpkins and other fruit growers converge at Doubleday Field parking lot for a weigh-off. Food and merchandise vendors will also be on hand starting at 9 a.m. The weigh-off is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. and will feature growers from all over the northeast region. Last year's largest pumpkin tipped the scales at 1,509.5 pounds.
Business owners, growers and community members will participate in a series of race heats during the Regatta. Races are scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
Editor says goodbye
This will mark my last week at the Crier. Moving on is bittersweet because I began writing for the newspaper just days after graduating from college. I've grown so much here and have been able to meet and get to know so many people in this wonderful community.
I will not be moving out of the area. In fact, I will not be going far at all as I have accepted a position at Leatherstocking Credit Union.
Although getting the news out to all of our readers is a huge responsibility, it has been a pleasure.

ELWOOD — A man is in jail after he was accused of pulling a gun on three men in a restroom at a bar early Saturday morning.
Harold E. Farr, 60, faces charges of attempted robbery, intimidation, disorderly conduct, pointing a firearm and impersonating a police officer after the incident at Stingers Bar in the 1400 block of Main Street.
According to the probable cause affidavit of the incident, witnesses told responding police that Farr, who had been in a stall in the bar's men's room, walked out of the stall at about 2 a.m. and pointed a handgun at two men who were in the restroom.
Farr allegedly demanded that the men give him cocaine and threatened them with violence if they didn't comply. The men also told police that Farr claimed to be a police officer and a retired military officer. A third man walked into the bathroom during the altercation and was also threatened by Farr, though he told police that Farr didn't point the gun at him.
Police tracked Farr to his home in the 2000 block of South I Street about 15 minutes after the incident. Farr, who was reportedly intoxicated, allegedly told police that he was at the Silver Dollar Bar earlier at night and had pulled a knife on another man, also demanding he hand over cocaine. He also told police he didn't know how the handgun he used at Stingers came into his possession. He told police he had been drinking at both bars.
Later in the morning, the two men Farr allegedly pointed the gun at identified Farr out of a lineup.
As of Sunday night, Farr was still housed in Madison County Jail on $20,000 bond.
Elwood Chief of Police Sam Hanna called the incident disturbing and said the department takes allegations of impersonating a police officer seriously.
"I'm proud of how my officers responded. They reacted quickly and efficiently," Hanna said.

A group of six young boys walks into a salon to get their hair done.
They don't what everyone else is getting, they want to stand out.
A major highlight for the month of October.
They might be the youngest clients to make such a dramatic request, but six young boys are getting extreme makeovers at the salon.
If they have dark hair, they first have to get it lightened.
As soon as everyone is blonde, it's time to take it one step further and think pink.
After six years of decorating the salon pink every October, the Euphoria Salon and Spa owner's son and his friends wanted to get on board.
"It actually started with my eight-year-old son who said, you know mom I would dye my hair pink if some of my friends would do it with me..." says Candace Smith, Owner.
Although they're young, they seem to be aware of what the month of October is all about.
"For breast cancer awareness month, we're doing it for all the people who died and all the people that are trying to survive through it." says Aidon.
"They're all very excited and they understand what the meaning is about, that makes it even more exciting, because usually boys don't like pink..." says Sammy Tuhy, Jackson's mom.
Sammy's son Jackson wants to wear pink for someone close to his heart.
"His grandma has battled cancer and he's just showing his support for not only for his grandma but everyone else who has battled it, or know someone who has." says Tuhy.
"It's really brave for these boys to do this, and it just shows their confidence." says Smith.
Confidence with pink hair.
A simple act of showing support, that's always a great look.
Stylists say the pink hair can last for a week to a month, depending on how often it gets washed.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Halloween --- Costume Ideas
Original post made by Samantha on Oct 30, 2007

Keep it simple. A ghoul robe from a costume store and a mask or face paint work well.

Laundry basket
Materials Needed:
Plastic Laundry Basket
Clothespins and/or Safety Pins
Buy the cheapest, lightest laundry basket you can find. Cut a circle out of the bottom, just big enough for your body to fit through. Cut 2 piece of clothes line to tie onto the laundry basket to act as suspenders, make them just long enough so the top of the basket hits just about your waist. Hang 'dirty' clothes on the basket and yourself, using clothespins and/or safety pins to hold them in place.

Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman hasn't played since Friday on account of some right shoulder inflammation. In his stead, the Nationals have started Mark DeRosa and Steve Lombardozzi at third base. Mark DeRosa and Steve Lombardozzi are fine baseball players to have around the block if you're putting together a neighborhood baseball team, but the Nationals are trying to win a major-league division, and Ryan Zimmerman's a big part of their plans. So what's the status of Ryan Zimmerman?
No decision on possible DL until after Zimmerman tries to hit tomorrow but MRI gave him peace of mind &he knows he can't hurt it more. #nats— Amanda Comak (@acomak) April 25, 2012
Ryan Zimmerman had an MRI on his shoulder and the results didn't show any structural damage. That's a great relief to Zimmerman, who's just putting up with some discomfort. But if the discomfort's still there Thursday, the Nationals could opt to rest him to get him back to 100 percent. Zimmerman has said he feels no pain when throwing but some pain when batting, and while throwing's important, batting's more important. In the long-term, this isn't a big deal, but in the short-term, the Nationals might have to live without Ryan Zimmerman for some time yet.

Thread: Leo Lewis: A catch for U
Leo Lewis: A catch for U
Posted on Mon, Jun. 26, 2006
[size=18px]A catch for U[/size]
Pioneer Press
'I always had my sights on doing more than what I did for the Vikings. That role was so limited.'  Leo Lewis
Nearly every minute of Leo Lewis' daily schedule in the University of Minnesota athletics department is accounted for with meetings, planning sessions or phone calls to set up more meetings.
The busy routine is unavoidable for the former Vikings wide receiver. Lewis handles a number of functions under his formal title as associate athletics director for student-athlete development, a new position created by Gophers AD Joel Maturi.
After six months on the job, Lewis, 49, believes he finally has found the perfect position to blend his athletic and educational acumen.
"I always had my sights on doing more than what I did for the Vikings," Lewis said, referring to his defunct player development position with the NFL team. "That role was so limited."
Since Maturi hired Lewis in December of 2005, Maturi and others have envisioned a new era for the Gophers athletics department  a department that did not have an African-American in upper management since former athletics director McKinley Boston left the university in 1999.
Lewis, who has a doctorate in kinesiology and two master's degrees  marriage and family therapy and physical education  has no illusions about his groundbreaking position. He knew when he was first approached about the job last fall that Maturi wanted to fill the job with an African-American.
Maturi hired Boston early last year as a consultant to help address diversity issues in the athletics department. Boston, now athletics director at New Mexico State University, recommended to Maturi that he needed to add a "person of color" to his management team to help the department "reconnect with the African-American community and former minority student-athletes."
Lewis has embraced the diversity component of his position, which includes academic advisement, counseling and fundraising.
"I'm OK with the role of being a connector to certain communities," he said. "There's been a lack of representation here at this level. The diversity issues are just a part of my overall job, but it's an important part, and I understand that."
Lewis also supervises the strength and conditioning staffs for all 23 intercollegiate sports at the university. Each staff reports directly to Lewis.
Maturi said the new position includes an independent budget for Lewis, a move that further supports Maturi's efforts to renew ties with the African-American community in the Twin Cities. Community leaders have criticized the department for failing to recruit more athletes from the St. Paul and Minneapolis city conferences and for the lack of minorities in key management positions.
"We're starting to walk the talk," Maturi said. "We said we were going to do this, and we've done it. From the day I got here four years ago, there were concerns and criticisms about us not having African-Americans in upper management, and those concerns were very justified. We had a need in our department, and Leo's expertise and background helped us fill that need."
After retiring from the NFL in 1992, Lewis ran a player development program for the Vikings for 14 years. He also conducted a research study for the NFL on players' post-career needs and objectives. Lewis was among former Vikings coach Dennis Green's first cuts when Green took over the team in 1992. Green, however, wrote a letter of recommendation on Lewis' behalf to Maturi and the search committee.
Lewis' long affiliation with the Vikings, which began in 1981 as a rookie receiver from Missouri, ended in the spring of 2005 when new owner Zygi Wilf restructured the organization and dissolved Lewis' position.
Before Lewis accepted the Gophers job, he talked with Boston, who has an extensive background in college athletics administration. Boston, a former athletics director at Rhode Island and Kean College (Union, N.J.), has become a mentor to Lewis and believed Lewis was the "right fit for the job."
"Now the university can do some things," Boston said of Lewis' presence in the Gophers' administration. "Leo has the credentials of being a success as a pro athlete and in pro sports management. Those things present him as a full package to the university; experience as an educator and administrator."
Clarence Hightower, executive director of the Minneapolis Urban League and a member of the search committee for Maturi's new position, believes Lewis represents a long overdue "voice" in the department for the African-American community. Hightower said Lewis' hiring supports Maturi's diversity push, but the department still "has a ways to go."
"It's broader than hiring one or two administrators," Hightower said. "There has to be a culture at the university that has to be embraced. The history is still there, but I'm willing to give the university a fresh start. The process has to start somewhere, and Leo is a positive step."
Lewis' visibility and background will remain a key area for the department. Lewis helped coordinate marketing efforts for the department with two longtime publications in the Twin Cities African-American community  the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder and Insight News.
Lewis got his first taste of controversy in April when Maturi asked him to help review the troubled women's basketball program after five players left the team following the 2005-06 season. Lewis met with the players to help gather information on why they no longer wanted to play for coach Pam Borton.
Maturi did not reprimand Borton but said she needs to improve "communications issues" that led to the departures.
"My whole approach is to be as proactive as possible, so you don't have to put out fires all the time," Lewis said. "I want to be able to connect with student-athletes as soon as they get here as freshmen, so they know what is expected of them and what they should expect from us."

It is a case that shocked the city more than a year ago, when a Temple grad was beaten to death after a night out in Old City.
All the accused attackers finally know their fates.
FOX 29's Thomas Drayton was live from the newsroom Friday with how this court case finally ended.
It was a very emotional day for all the families involved in what some call a fight that just went too far.
Two of the three men accused of beating 23-year-old Kevin Kless will now spend the next few years behind bars.
The charges stem from an incident in January of last year. Kless was trying to hail a cab in Old City after a night out with two female friends.
He got frustrated and yelled at a passing cab driver.
Three young men in a car behind the taxi thought Kless had yelled at them, and a fight broke out. Kless was killed.
On Friday, both Kenneth Santiago and Steven Ferguson pleaded guilty.
As part of the plea deal, Santiago was sentenced to two to five years in jail.
Ferguson, the man who police say delivered the fatal blow, was punished more severely. He will serve five to 10 years.
Kendall Kless, the victim's mother, talked outside court about her son, whose life, she says, was cut short for no reason.
"There will be no more Kevin jokes, no more ingenious Halloween costumes. We've lost our youngest, baby son, and the pain of that loss is indescribable," she said.
The third man charged in the beating, Felix Carillo, took a deal in January. He is serving two to five years in prison.

There are many reasons why the Lions' 26-23 overtime win at Minnesota Sunday was important, and the biggest one tells us, more than anything, how far Detroit has come in recent years.
The victory bumped the Lions' record to 3-0, which kept them tied atop the NFC North standings with the Packers, who defeated Chicago 27-17 at Soldier Field on Sunday. If beating a now-struggling Bears club in Chicago doesn't seem like a significant achievement ... well, consider that the Falcons, the NFC's No. 1 seed in 2010, went into Soldier Field favored in Week One and left 18-point losers.
The Packers again look very formidable. That Detroit has matched strides with them through one month is impressive — and more significantly, the Lions' 3-0 start has done its part to bury some unfortunate history for the franchise. The Lions have started 3-0 for the first time since 1980, while their win at Mall of America Field is their first since 1997.
On Sunday, the Lions overcame a 20-0 halftime deficit to catch the Vikings, who blew a halftime lead for the third consecutive game.
"Well, we got a win, which obviously is the objective," head coach Jim Schwartz said on Monday. "(I would) rather get a win and have things to improve on than play well and get a loss. But we didn't start the way we needed to, the way that we should. We played poorly on offense, defense and special teams in the first half and had a hard time getting things going.
"But as poorly as we played in the first, we played well in the second, maybe except for our kick coverage, our punt and kick coverage. We started getting defensive stops. We were more active around the quarterback. We started scoring. We started moving the football and then we started scoring. You could feel us get momentum in that game. You could feel things start sort of going our way; getting key third-down stops. I don't think we allowed a third-down conversion in the second half. (We) didn't get turnovers, but they didn't give up any turnovers either. So I think those things were all key in getting that game tied and then making it to overtime."
The PFW Spin
Here are five positives from Detroit's victory beyond the implications already discussed above:
• The Matthew Stafford-to-Calvin Johnson connection is one of the NFL's best right now. Johnson had a pair of second-half TD catches and racked up 101 yards receiving in the second half and overtime. His over-the-shoulder 40-yard catch in overtime set up Jason Hanson's 32-yard field goal.
• Johnson isn't the only Lions pass catcher who must be respected. Johnson beat single coverage on that game-clinching catch in OT, and he is going to give just about every cornerback a hard time in a one-on-one matchup. But TE Brandon Pettigrew (9-88-0 in the second half in 10 targets) also gives opposing defenses trouble. The running game was a nonfactor, but RB Jahvid Best's 60-yard reception set up Detroit's second TD, a Stafford-to-Johnson five-yard TD that cut Minnesota's lead to 20-17 early in the fourth quarter.
• Stafford again was impressive. He took a pounding (five sacks) and still played at a high level, especially after halftime, when he completed 22-of-30 passes for 314 yards with a pair of TDs and no interceptions. With Stafford playing like this and with so many tough targets to cover for opposing defenses, the Lions have the ability to knock teams out early with the passing game — and they cannot be counted out easily.
• After a rocky start, the defense tightened up. Detroit allowed just 108 yards and three points on 26 plays after halftime. A fourth-down stuff of Vikings RB Toby Gerhart on 4th-and-1 on the Detroit 17 with 11:40 left in the game kept Minnesota's lead at 20-17 and was a big key to Detroit's comeback, but forcing three three-and-outs in the third quarter was important, too.
• PK Jason Hanson is off to a hot start. Hanson, who missed half of last season with a knee injury, has made all eight of his field-goal attempts, and he drilled a 50-yarder to give Detroit a 23-20 lead late in the fourth quarter. What's more. he's averaging 67.2 yards on kickoffs.
The Lions were close to being blown out at Minnesota Sunday, so it's not that there aren't issues to address. The pass protection was a liability for the first time all season. The special-teams coverage was far too porous. The run defense was again an issue.
However, the Lions got it together, and just in time. That's the mark of a talented team. Not a perfect one, but a talented one, a group tied with an exceptional Green Bay club. That can't be overlooked as Detroit enters October.

Plans for new road humps in Blackburn to go ahead
7:00pm Monday 19th November 2012 in News
TRAFFIC calming measures in Laburnum Road, Little Harwood, are set to go ahead despite concerns from residents.
Blackburn with Darwen Council's planning and highways committee is set to confirm the scheme despite householders worries about the siting of road humps.
One resident was concerned that the proposed 'sleeping policemen' designed to slow down drivers in the new 20mph zone would be inconvenient.
However another homeowner, in the road objected to his alternative proposals for the humps.
Officials also warned councillors that changing the proposals would substantially add to the scheme costs.
They are recommending the committee to authorise the original plan for the road humps.
The traffic calming scheme is necessary because of additional traffic from a new housing development at the end of Laburnum Road.

Thousands of fake designer watches seized at Texas border, if real would be worth $83M
7,800 watches inside consignment truck infringed on Audemars Piguet design trademark
LAREDO, Texas - Thousands of counterfeit Swiss designer watches have been confiscated at a Texas border crossing in a shipment that if real would be worth $83 million.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Wednesday announced the seizure of about 7,800 watches. The arriving truck was searched at the World Trade Bridge, which links Laredo and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
Customs experts on Oct. 25 determined the watches infringed on the trademark of Audemars Piguet. The items were seized Oct. 29.
CBP's Laredo port director Sidney Aki says the seizure is believed to be the largest in port history in terms of manufacturer's suggested retail price.
A similar seizure of 4,200 counterfeit Swiss watches on June 29 at the same border crossing yielded timepieces with a $28 million retail value, if real.

New traditions for a changed world
For a long time, Jayne Bloch and her husband had been thinking about starting a family tradition with her two young children: lighting candles every Friday night. They finally started -- the first Friday evening after September 11th.
"Lighting the candles was suddenly more meaningful," says Bloch, a New York City psychoanalyst. "It was a way for us to reflect as a family on all of the things we were grateful for, and to pray for the people who had been personally devastated by the tragic events of Sept. 11th." The family's weekly candle-lighting also "gives the kids a chance to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment," Bloch adds.
During this time when national and world events spiral out of our control and anxiety is on the rise, it's particularly important for home to be a sanctuary, says Dr. Raymond Guarendi, a clinical psychologist and author of Back to the Family: How to Encourage Traditional Values in Complicated Times. Starting new family traditions -- or reinventing old ones -- is a wonderful way to help your family feel safe, move forward, and celebrate all that's good in the world. Plus, you continue to create happy memories during difficult times.
"Family traditions are the glue that keeps families together and a safety net when the world seems like it's falling apart," says Guarendi, a father of ten. "Kids come to count on them because they want and need the continuity and stability in rituals."
As we begin the holiday season, it's the perfect time to focus on the real meanings of the holidays and get back to basics with family traditions, adds Meg Cox, author of The Heart of the Family: Searching America for New Traditions that Fulfill Us. "We all really need a Thanksgiving right now," says Cox, a mother of one in Princeton, N.J. "Whenever you have a loss you have to regroup and celebrate what you have."
Although, some people may not feel like celebrating right now, continuing with holiday traditions can be the beginning of healing. "Rituals help heal the pain of life's greatest tragedies" by providing a sense of comfort, Cox says.

A Velcro Ceiling?
Additional Photos
Installation DescriptionA glue-up ceiling installation using Fleur-de-lis White Ceiling Tiles.
Customer Testimonial
You may laugh at how I constructed it and I should tell you it works perfectly. I attached the ceiling with Velcro. I glued one strip on the ceiling which is a metal overhang and then the opposite strip on the tile. Waited until all was dry and then popped them up. I did that because if I ever get a water problem above I can always take the tile off and fix it. As you can see the room is a small DIY addition and leads onto a deck. The first picture was of the ceiling before it was tiled and it looks lush because the photo is a summer shot. The other three is as it is now in the winter.So thank you for asking and I am recommending this product to whoever asks me and will not hesitate to use it again.

Customer Testimonial
I have been thrilled with the tiles. I can't say enough good things about them. As you can see from the pictures they have been installed in a 3 season room off the back of the house. Living in Wisconsin that room does take a beating from the weather. The problem I had with the old tiles was humidity, sagging tiles and no way to clean them. The ease of installation was unbelievable compared to standard tiles. They are light, easy to handle and just snap in place. Believe me if grandma can do it anyone can. Actually I am very proud of the ceiling I finished myself. This job went so good that I am considering redoing the basement laundry - work room. Again I have standard ceiling tiles that are getting a little shabby. So I am sure that my next home remodeling project will be that ceiling. I am so glad that I found your site online.

You could call Jason Van Duyn a storm chaser of a different sort. While the Raleigh woodworker doesn't track menacing skies, he does reap the harvest from high winds – felled trees.
"Most people cringe when they see storms coming through," said Van Duyn (pronounced Van DINE). "I go 'woo-hoo!' "
Save for a few exotic hardwoods that Van Duyn purchases, almost all his wood comes from local trees, including chestnut, pecan and elm.
"I'm working with about 30 species just around here," said the woodworker, who specializes in turned functional pieces such as bowls and platters, as well as free-form sculptural work.
The 32-year-old grew up in Edenton and first dabbled in wood with his father, but he was more interested in playing the tuba in high school and college bands than he was in learning woodworking. He graduated from N.C. State in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering.
Van Duyn spent the summer before his senior year in college helping his parents build several arbors and a large trellis, prompting his mother to suggest he take a course in making reproduction Queen Anne chairs taught by Ben Hobbs in nearby Hertford.
"It was one of those eye-opening experiences," Van Duyn recalled of the weeklong tutorial he shared with a small group of older men. "I was exposed to traditional furniture making and a lot of new techniques."
He returned for a course in using a lathe, a machine that makes round pieces. Armed with his newfound skills, Van Duyn's interest grew.
"From that point on, I started to read magazines about woodworking and furniture building. It really broadened my horizons."
When Van Duyn didn't find appealing work in the materials science and engineering field, he decided to follow his passion for wood and ended up working on some historical restoration projects in Edenton. He also used his boss's lathe to experiment with making bowls and other turned forms.
"At the time I just made a couple Christmas presents, not having a clue of how to do anything right, just dabbling."
Van Duyn returned to Raleigh in 2007 and started working with woodworkers in the custom-home industry – just in time for the recession. After his parents gave him a lathe for Christmas the following year, he realized he had enough tools and know-how to set up shop. He continued taking classes, this time through the wood-turning business Craft Supplies USA.
"You learn you're doing things maybe a little bit the right way, but mostly the wrong way with the wrong tools. I made a lot of really big professional jumps when I took those classes."
While Van Duyn shapes a variety of decorative and utilitarian pieces, his specialty has become sculptural hollow forms with craggy natural edges.
"I really like the way the natural edges look," he said. "One of the reasons I like turning is that, opposed to making furniture where everything is cut out, this is a lot more organic. You're like a sculptor, taking a raw piece of wood and peeling it back."
Like many sculptural wood workers, he goes after wood that has burls (tumor-like growths) or spalting (coloration caused by fungi) because it enhances the grain's appearance.
"You can get a lot of crazy patterning that happens naturally," he said. "But you never know looking at the outside of a piece you cut what it's going to look like inside. It's like you're finding something new every time, which is exciting."
A few years ago, Van Duyn started selling at craft fairs. He enjoys attending local shows, including Lazy Daze in Cary later this month and the Boylan Heights Art Walk in December. With a young daughter at home, he decided to avoid the traveling-show circuit. He's focusing on galleries, and has found the most success at the high-end ones, including Shop at the Umstead, in the five-star hotel and spa in Cary.
"Our hotel and gift shop design theme is 'art in nature,' so Jason's work makes perfect sense for us," said Marcelle Kick, Umstead design coordinator and assistant retail manager. "When he brought in his samples, we just oohed and aahed because they're so beautifully done. He can manipulate the wood to be so thin it's amazing, plus he's using local wood. People love taking a piece of North Carolina home with them."
While Van Duyn no longer plays the tuba, he was surprised to discover that his musical training came in handy with wood turning.
"A lot of what happens now is I turn more by sound than by sight. Particularly in hollow forms, when you get to about a quarter-inch thickness, every 16th of an inch thinner starts to resonate in a different pitch, so I use my musical background to gauge where I am in the process."
