A special type of volunteer fire department in Carl Junction is credited for helping to contain ten different grassfires in the area. The grassfires happened yesterday evening and early this morning.
Firefighters say any one of those fires could've ended up much worse than what happened/
There's been a spark inside 20-year-old Andrew Patterson.
"I've wanted to be a firefighter since I was a little kid," says Patterson.
He's a resident volunteer firefighter in Carl Junction.
"They live here rent free," says Joe Perkins, Chief of Operations for CJ's fire department.
Patterson's home is a dorm in the upstairs of fire station number one.
"They have to earn that by putting in 60 hours a week of service to the department," says Perkins.
Blow in some details of a busy day on Sunday.
"We had probably five calls there in an hour," says Patterson.
By early Monday morning, firefighters in Carl Junction had gotten calls for 10 different grassfires. Most of them started out as controlled burns early in the afternoon, with calm weather conditions. But fires never seemed to completely cool with gusty winds later in the evening.
"They need to consider 12 to 24 hours after the fire is extinguished," says Perkins.
Then there was a grassfire along Highway 171. Firefighters say wind swayed two power lines together, sending down sparks and igniting a blaze that charred about 2 acres of land and threatened eight to 10 houses.
"We were very fortunate that we got out there as fast as we did," says Perkins.
"That's thanks in a big part to resident volunteer firefighters like Patterson, who were near all the right equipment to get the job done. With all the fires, there were no injuries or substantial property damages.
"I really enjoy being here in this area," says Patterson. "It's a nice place to kind of get your foot in the door and start everything."
It's the start of a career to end fires.
There's a total of nine paid staff members of the Carl Junction Fire Protection District, and six resident volunteer firefighters.
Firefighters say it's important to call a fire station and ask if weather over the next several hours will allow outdoor burning.

Burlington, Vermont - February 9, 2010
The Catholic Diocese of Burlington is sitting on millions of dollars of property that could be used to settle priest sex abuse cases. The diocese says it's willing to part with land and buildings to start the healing process.
"The diocese has plenty of assets," lawyer Jerry O'Neill said.
O'Neill represents former altar boys who say they were victimized by pedophile priests in the Burlington diocese 30 years ago. Juries have awarded millions to victims-- some have settled for far less before trial.
"The diocese wants healing here," said Tom McCormick, the lawyer for the diocese.
But the question is how will the Catholic Church pay for that healing? A search of Burlington land records shows the church holds three lakefront parcels on North Avenue, including the diocese headquarters. It's more than 33 acres of residentially-zoned land the city values at nearly $20 million.
"The diocese is going to use the money to settle the cases," McCormick said.
The church's former Camp Holy Cross property on Lake Champlain could bring millions more. The town of Colchester does not have an assessed value on the 26-acre camp because the diocese is a nonprofit. A nearby property with 7.5 fewer acres sold for more than $2 million dollars in 2006, but sources in town government tell WCAX News they expect the Holy Cross land to go for closer to $10 million.
O'Neill says he'll believe it when he sees it.
"The diocese has been talking about selling the properties for years," O'Neill said.
He'll go along with Judge Helen Toor's request to settle 18 abuse cases through mediation, but O'Neill's not optimistic.
"We've mediated several times previously with the diocese, almost always fruitless," he said. "We don't anticipate that we'll get any further with them than we've gotten before, but we'll be there, be energetic, receptive, and we'll see if we can get them resolved."
Successful mediation would likely mean smaller payouts than past multi-million dollar jury awards which have led to appeals instead of the closure both sides say they want. The diocese says it believes land sales will help it raise the money it'll need.
"The victims are people of goodwill, too, so the hope is there will be enough to go around," McCormick said.
Judge Toor wanted a mediator selected by March 1, hoping the sessions can begin in early April. If they don't work, then Jerry O'Neill says a unit of 18 of his clients could go to trial by late Spring or into the Summer. Those 18 clients all say they were abused by Father Edward Paquette, but O'Neill says there are nine more cases on top of the 18-- three of them involving Father Alfred Willis. Those will also be tried as a unit. Then there are six more plaintiffs.

Items left as intruder flees
12:44pm Friday 22nd June 2012 in Fareham
A HOMEOWNER scared off a burglar in Swanwick. The 53-year-old man heard a loud bang upstairs in his house and ran to take a look.
A rear window was open at the property in Swanwick Lane and a man was seen climbing over the garden fence.
Stolen property, including an iPod shuffle, foreign currency and aftershave, was found nearby.
Anyone with information about the burglary, which happened on the evening of Tuesday, June 12, should call Fareham Police on 101.

|6' 5"/ 321 lbs.
|Augusta, GA
|Years played
|2011, 1st round, 25th pick by Seahawks
Rookie FS Thomas earning his keep in Seattle
Despite some occasional rookie mistakes, Seahawks first-round FS Earl Thomas has made his presence felt more than a little on a defense that has had its share of problems lately.
Seahawks' Carroll delivers trash talk — literally
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll wasn't lying when he said his team "played like garbage" in a 42-24 thumping by the Chiefs at Qwest Field in Week 12.
Bowe hauls in three TDs in Chiefs win
Matt Cassel threw three touchdown passes to Dwayne Bowe, Jamaal Charles rushed for 173 yards and the Chiefs remained on top of the AFC West with a 42-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
2011 NFC West free-agent preview
After the season, the 49ers will have to decide who will be their quarterback of the future, as both Alex Smith and Troy Smith may become free agents. Here is our exclusive team-by-team list of NFC West players likely to ...
Obomanu a quiet key in Seahawks' passing game
You might want to start paying more attention to Seahawks WR Ben Obomanu, who is quietly becoming more of a key cog in Seattle's steadily improving passing game.
Seahawks driving 'BMW' to aerial success
Mike Williams' NFL career was supposed to be over long ago, but a reunion with his former college coach Pete Carroll has made him relevant once again.
Brees, Saints carve up Seahawks
Drew Brees became the New Orleans Saints' all-time completions leader, throwing for four touchdowns in New Orleans' 34-19 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Clemons a great fit in Seahawks' 'Leo' role
It has been an up-and-down season so far for the Seahawks' defense, but one defender who has been consistently up is DE Chris Clemons, who quietly has emerged as one of the NFC's most productive pass rushers.
Rejuvenated Seahawks get their act together
With Matt Hasselbeck and Mike Williams leading the way despite broken body parts, the Seahawks broke down the Cardinals in impressive fashion to take charge in the NFC West.
Seahawks DE Brock plays after weekend arrest
Seahawks DE Raheem Brock was arrested for driving under the influence Saturday morning, according to The Seattle Times. Brock played in the Seahawks' 36-18 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Hasselbeck returns, leads Seahawks to win
Matt Hasselbeck, back after a one-game absence, threw for 333 yards and Mike Williams had the biggest game of his rejuvenated NFL career Sunday in the Seahawks' dominant 36-18 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Whitehurst fizzles in first start for Seahawks
With Charlie Whitehurst remaining a major work in progress and 35-year-old Matt Hasslebeck now having missed 12 games because of injuries the past three seasons, could the Seahawks consider spending a first-round pick on another signalcaller in the the 2011 ...

Giants dominate Seahawks 41-7
Eli Manning threw for three first-half touchdowns, Ahmad Bradshaw added a pair of rushing touchdowns and the New York Giants routed the Seattle Seahawks 41-7 on Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks placed Carpenter on the season-ending reserve/non-football illness list.||||||| Carpenter returned from a serious knee injury last season and started seven games for the Seahawks at left guard. But he left early in Sunday's win over Chicago after experiencing what Pete Carroll called a sharp pain in his surgically repaired knee. Seattle signed offensive lineman Rishaw Johnson from the practice squad.
Carpenter injured his right knee on a run in the first quarter and the team said his return was questionable.||||||| Carpenter was making his debut at left guard Sunday against the Rams after hurting his left knee last November.
Carpenter is just happy to be back practicing. The Seattle Seahawks' guard has been cleared to return to practice and was back at work this week as he gets re-acclimated to playing football again after a devastating knee injury in practice ended his rookie season.||||||| Carpenter was injured during a relatively benign blocking drill during a practice in mid-November. Carpenter has made strides in his recovery midway through training camp and surprised everyone, including coach Pete Carroll, by being activated for the start of the regular season.
Carpenter is done for the season with a torn ACL.||||||| Carpenter, the former Alabama player drafted 25th overall this year, started nine games this season - eight at right tackle and one at left guard. He was hurt last week in practice.
The Seattle Seahawks have reached a deal with first-round pick James Carpenter, who was taken 25th overall in the April draft. The team announced Carpenter's deal on Friday morning.||||||| Carpenter is projected to be Seattle's starting right tackle after being selected out of Alabama. Seattle now has eight of nine draft picks signed, the lone remaining unsigned pick being third-round selection John Moffitt.

In the News
Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology are urging doctors to be on high alert for early signs of a smaller-than-average baby developing in a mother with preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. They discovered that children born smaller than usual that were also moderately preterm – between 32 to36 weeks – or very preterm – less than 31 weeks – to a mother who experienced preeclampsia are at significantly increased risk, 20 fold, of being diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Among full-term babies, those born at normal size to a woman with preeclampsia didn't appear to be at increased risk, while those born small for gestational age to a woman with preeclampsia were at an increased risk, 3 fold, says the study published July 9, 2013 in BMJ. Preeclampsia is a medical condition that presents with high blood pressure and significant amounts of protein in the urine of pregnant women. For the study researchers studied 849 singleton babies with cerebral palsy and 616,658 singleton children without, who survived the neonatal period during 1996 to 2006.

BROCK, Texas — A small windswept cemetery in west Parker County can be a lonely spot for what can be a lonely battle on behalf of four teenaged girls.
"It means everything to us that these girls are still remembered and still loved," said Liz Osina, looking at her daughter's large granite memorial.
The girls — Whitney Welch, Staci Lee, Mandi McWhorter and Lacey Osina — were all Brock High School cheerleaders and basketball players who were killed by a drunk driver in December, 1998.
Staci, Mandi and Lacey rest side by side.
"When we come out to clean up, we'll find a rose or a note," Osina said. She and her husband Mark are the only victims' parents who didn't separate. One mom and one dad have since died.
Ricky Carter, who drove the wrong way on Ranger Highway, got a 20-year sentence.
The Osinas fight to make sure he serves every minute, and they've been getting a lot of help from an unseen supporter.
Lenny Leatherman had never met any of the families, and had never been to the cemetery until Tuesday, where the Osinas embraced him.
But back in 2005, Leatherman co-founded a website called KeepRicky CarterInJail.com.
"He can be forgiven by the whole community, but we want to see justice served," Leatherman said. "There's a difference between forgiveness and justice."
Leatherman encourages people to write the parole board. The Osinas are convinced the letters help.
Ask Lenny Leatherman how the heartfelt letters affect him, and he drops his head in silence.
The Osinas say as years pass and memories fade, it gets harder to enlist support.
The number of parole board letters is dwindling. Leatherman just posted an urgent appeal on his website.
Liz and Mark Osina are preparing to testify before the parole board next month, just as they do every year.

The Coin Analyst: Focusing on Modern Key Coins
by Louis Golino for Coin Week
If you enjoy collecting modern U.S. Mint coins, it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the choices available. Collectors frequently complain about how it is impossible to buy all of the Mint's annual offerings unless one is very wealthy. But I have never understood why even a collector who specializes exclusively in modern coins needs every one issued by the Mint in a given year. It is far better to find a focus so you can build a collection, rather than an accumulation. Periodically a coin outside your main focus will attract you, but try as much as possible to stick with a specific focus. Doing so will allow you to enjoy your collection more thoroughly because it will encourage you to learn more about the coins, and your coins will be much easier to sell later if your collection has some coherence to it.
Since it is impractical to buy all the coins the Mint issues, or even in many cases to build a complete set a certain denomination, I like the idea of focusing on the lower mintage modern precious metal key coins within the American eagle and commemorative series. These offer the best long-term price appreciation potential of modern U.S. coins in my view. As new collectors enter the field and seek out the key coins, the demand for these limited-supply coins will increase.
Try to get them from the Mint at issue price. The precious metal content offers good protection against the loss of a good part of your investment, at least if you believe as most people do that precious metals will continue rising in the future. The goal should be to pay no more than 50% over current melt if possible, but remember that modern precious metal collectible coins with low mintages usually spike in the first year or two after Mint sales end, and they tend to settle down before usually resuming upward price momentum later. But they rarely reach full price appreciation until more time has passed.
The 2008 gold Buffalo coins are a case in point. In 2009 and early 2010 prices were increasing every week for these coins, but then in mid-2010 prices began to moderate, and today some of these coins are less expensive than they were in 2009 such as the $5 (1/10th ounce) and $10 (1/4 ounce) coins. In addition to bearing one of the most beloved designs in coin history, the 2008 Buffaloes have certain advantages over the other Buffalo gold coins issued since 2006. The 2008 fractional Buffaloes are one-year only type coins, and the one ounce coins, especially the mint state coin, are the lowest mintage one-ounce gold Buffaloes. These coins have probably not yet peaked.
Some modern key coins have already reached price maturity and seen a price decrease in recent years like 1995 W proof-only American silver eagle, the key to the silver eagle series with a mintage of 30,125. But bear in mind that the discovery of the 2008 with reverse of 2007 mint state silver eagle has probably played a role in lowering prices of raw or PF-69 1995 W's from $5,000 to $3,000 over the last five years or so. The 2008 with reverse of 2007, whose mintage is currently believed to be around 47,000, has also come down in price after spiking in 2008, except for MS70 coins whose prices have remained quite stable. I believe this coin is currently undervalued and offers good long-term potential since you can buy a raw or MS 69 coin for about $400 and the mintage is the second-lowest of the entire series. It costs about one-eighth the price of a 1995 W, but has a mintage only 17,000 higher, and the next key, the 2006 W burnished silver eagle, has a mintage of 466,573.
Some other "sleeper" moderns include silver and gold commemoratives issued in 1996. The 1996-D Paralympic coin, with a mintage of 14,497, is likely to remain the key to the commemorative silver dollar series since most commemoratives have sufficiently broad appeal to sell more than 15,000 coins, and is still very reasonable at about $300. The other 1996 Olympic dollars are the other keys (the High Jump, Tennis, and Rowing coins). These coins are today keys because at the time they were issued collectors were burned out on silver dollar commemoratives as so many were issued in the 1980′s and 1990′s, and few people bought the coins.
The 1996 Smithsonian $5 piece is the lowest mintage modern proof gold commemorative with 21,840 made, and it is a real bargain at its current price of about $500. The BU coin also has a very low mintage and is also undervalued when you compare it to other BU $5 coins with similar mintages that sell for twice as much or more.
Another coin to consider is the 2000 Library of Congress $10 commemorative. It has one of most attractive Mint designs ever and is the only bimetal coin the US has issued. It also has a quarter ounce of gold and a quarter ounce of platinum. The BU coin runs $3,500 because of its low mintage, but the proof is still quite reasonably priced at $1100.
The 1997 Jackie Robinson $5 gold commemorative in BU is the key to the entire modern commemorative series as only 5,202 were issued. It has a modern and appealing design that depicts Robinson in three-quarter profile. It has dropped a little in price recent years from about $5,000 to about $3,500 probably because of larger trends in the economy and coin market, but is likely to do well long-term. Buy the proof, which costs $600, if the BU is too costly. It still offers good value because of the coin's low mintage of 24,072, making it the second lowest after the Smithsonian coin.
Finally, within the American gold eagle series, the main keys are the 2008-W one-quarter ounce burnished coin, the lowest mintage of all the burnished eagles, with only 8,883 made, and 2007-W half ounce with a mintage of 11,455. These coins as well as several other issues from 2008 in burnished uncirculated and proof plus the 2008 burnished and proof American platinum eagles are all worth collecting. The key ounce coin, which is currently the 2008-W burnished at 11,908, is likely to be overtaken by the 2011-W once ounce coin, which so far has sold fewer than 3,000 examples probably because the Mint has issued so many coins this year. For the fractional denominations, the 2008 coins will remain the keys since the Mint has said it will no longer issue fractional burnished coins.

Excellent article Louis!
Another aspect is looking at coins for a quality vs. quantity aspect. It is possible that there are modern coins that were produced in vast quantities; however, the quality of these coins could have been somewhat lacking. From a quality/grading perspective, some of these may be rare.
Please note that I do not refer to first strikes or early release as these are artificial slab rarities and not rare coin qualities.
Thanks a lot, Joe. And good point about quality vs. quantity. There are also coins which are not especially rare but which rarely come in good strikes like most S mint Walking liberty halves. If you have one that is a good strike, you have a scarce and desirable coin worth much more than what some price guide says.
I do like the AGBs, and the 2008 fractionals are especially beautiful. I normally prefer proofs, but the unc buffs are just so nice.
What are your thoughts on the 2009 UHR Gold Eagle? I know there were over 100K minted, but it is a one-of-a-kind coin. Also one of my favs. Hopefully the upcoming palladium coin will be just as nice or nicer when it is released.
The UHR is one of my favorite, if not most favorite, coins of all time. Its design, fact that it is a one-year type, and other factors should keep values strong. It's a little like the 2001 Buffalo dollar. A lot were made, but the demand for them is very high.
Near the bottom of the article (in reference to platinum) it states: "The key ounce coin, which is currently the 2008-W burnished at 11,908, is likely to be overtaken by the 2011-W once ounce coin, which so far has sold fewer than 3,000 examples"
I am a little confused. The 2008-W burnished one ounce platinum coin sold a mere 2,826 coins, and according to various sources, the 2011, which is only available in proof, have exceeded 8,200 sold.
Could someone please verify?
I re-read and the text is confusing, but I understand. The numbers quoted are for gold (2011-W), etc. and not platinum. The reference to platinum in the former sentence threw me off. Please delete or ignore my former comment; I apologize for the confusion.
The longer I collect, the more I like the Unc varieties more than the Proof varieties. They just seem more natural.
I am also finding myself more interested in naturally toned coins. What's up with that????

It's Not Just 'Anti-Iraq', Pravin
by blues, Mon Aug 14, 2006 at 12:25:23 PM EDT
Pravin, in 'breaking blue,' has a post 'It's Anti-Iraq War! Not Anti-War!':
....I think we need to get a message to the Democratic Party hopefuls who go on these talk shows to correct the interviewers firmly but politely that the descriptive word is Anti-Iraq war for strategic reasons.
Let's look at the "reality base" of this. We have one, rather conservative, rich Connectican Ned Lamont running against lunatic stealth Republican neocon "independent" Joey Boy Lieberman. So we come to find out that maybe our rich Connectican is presumptively not anti- Lebanon War. So what then? -- It becomes "Strategic" to just say we are "anti- Iraq War"? Not unless we want to never be taken seriously again.
Look at at the "reality base" of it again. In three weeks, the dimwittedest grunts will have discerned that the so-called "Lebanon War" is, in stark truth, a direct extension of the Iraq war, provoked by Der "Vice" President Cheney as a direct stepping- stone into Iran.
Look, for example at these two truthout articles:
Bush "Viewed War in Lebanon as a Curtain-Raiser for Attack on Iran"
Robert Parry: Israeli Leaders Fault Bush on War
So, let's not be too stupid about this stuff. I know Lamont carries a lot of freight for the netroots movement at the moment, but let's not let the public in, just yet, on about how we are as embubbled as Bush Jr. about these realities. I always take a "not neutered yet" position on this kind of thing.

Massacre (Sing to Your Children) at the Rattlestick.
You won't find a more alarming, provocative, startling start to a play, off-Broadway or on- than the assault on the audience in Massacre (Sing to Your Children.) As music blares and lights flash, six characters in outlandish masks burst through a door into a grim slaughterhouse. They are all soaked in blood. A seventh rolls in through a chute.
They're wild, adrenaline-drunk, frenzied in the aftermath of what they've just done—killed a man, Joe. Or at least they hope they have killed him. Sure they hacked him with scimitars, poked him with a pitchfork, pierced him with an icepick, and they all wear gallons of his blood. Still, there's a fear that they might not have completed the job. Why?
It seems that this character, Joe, is some sort of supernaturally evil being who has taken over their small New England town. With his arrival, crops have withered, births have ceased, children have turned against their parents, people disappear, and all live in fear. At least that's what this crew of locals—two auto mechanics, a teacher, a housewife, a psychic, a fry cook and a drifter—believe. The info about Joe is revealed in dribs and drabs in the first act. Action is non-stop–and so is the talk, as each of the characters reveals something about themselves. Until an ominous pounding on the door brings the first act to a close.
The second act brings shocks and revelations as all comes undone. Unfortunately, by this time the action has slowed to a crawl and twists and turns become formulaic.
Massacre was written by Jose Rivera and directed by Brian Mertes. The repertory cast does an excellent job in a difficult piece. Massacre (Sing to Your Children) is at the Rattlestick until May 12

Diabetes An Introduction Why Nutrition Is So Vital For Diabetics Information Diabetic Articles Medicines Gestational Diabetes The Connection Between Diabetes, Heart Disease And Stroke Physical Activity And Diabetes Symptoms Of Diabetes Alternative Devices For Taking Insulin Diabetes Supplies Guidelines For A Healthy Gestational Diabetes Diet Complications Of Diabetes Facts Diabetic Articles And Diet Low Carb Diabetic Diets Diabetes And Your Body The Types Of Diabetes Taking Care Of Your Diabetes At Special Times 4 Steps To Control Diabetes For Life Am I At Risk For Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes has acquired its name from the Greek word 'siphon'. Diabetes is a disorder of the metabolism and the endocrine system, and is a blood-related disease. It has two forms: Diabetes mellitus (from the Greek word for sugar) and Diabetes insipidus. The main causes of this disorder are that either the body does not produce enough insulin, as happens in type 1 diabetes, or it does not use the available insulin in a proper manner, as in type 2 diabetes. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body convert glucose into energy. The factors which contribute to diabetes include lack of exercise, excessive weight, age, poor diet and, most importantly, genetics.
The symptoms of diabetes are fatigue, as the body does not get enough energy due to non-absorption of glucose, unquenchable thirst due to frequent urination, and weakening of the eyesight as a consequence of loss of excess body fluid in the form of urine. A diabetic person is also susceptible to frequent infections, like urinary tract infections, colds and flu. Another symptom is a tingling or burning feeling in the hands and feet. Most of the time diabetes goes unchecked because the symptoms are harmless.
A number of tests have been devised to help find out if you are diabetic. The fasting plasma glucose test, done in the morning, is a relatively cheap and easy test. It measures the blood sugar levels when one is not eating. The random plasma glucose test does not require fasting and can be done at any time. This type of test is the easiest and does not require any preparation. The oral glucose tolerance test involves checking blood glucose while fasting and then asking the patient to drink a super-sweet solution, after which the test is repeated, the results are compared to the standard, and if your reading is higher than normal then you have diabetes. Other tests involve glycated hemoglobin, urine tests and finger-prick tests.
Diabetes is a life-long disease. Even if you undergo treatment in the form of medication, diet change and exercise to get your sugar levels under control, you are still diabetic.

Five years? Give me a break. The Lions went from 0-16 to 10-6 and in the playoffs 3 years later. From this thread its no secret you dislike the hire, but lets not act like this is a move that will haunt the Lions for years to come.

Man. All this hate for Caldwell and the Lions before he has even coached a single game. I get he may not have been your first choice to be coach and you all wanted someone better to come walking throught that door. Well guess what? So did the Lions. They tried to get their guy and it didn't happen. For all we know, the Lions did everything right and Whisenhunt may not have wanted to come here. Sometimes that happens. And when you are a franchise that has a stigma about being a perennial tire-fire that is to be expected. Sure the Lions ownership has had a lot to do with that in the past, but it does seem like the Lions are trying to turn the corner and move forward.
Mayhew has doen a great job of assembling this team and they are in good position going into next year. And for the shit people are giving Caldwell, he seems like to a perfect fit to instill a sense of discipline and accountability into this team that limits the number of bone-headed penalties and plays we were accustomed to seeing under Schwarz. So all of you that are done with the Lions, so be it. But I am not going to let the progress this franhise has taken to gain respect be thrown out the door just because they didn't get their first choice of coach.

I am doing a terrible job at keeping track of these bowl games. Every year they seem to either add a couple or change their names. Also, I have no idea which bowl games have ties to specific conferences anymore. Its constantly changing.

|So gettng selected in a
So gettng selected in a different bowl game would have changed this opinion? I get that you aren't a fan of the bowl game Michigan got put in, but this is still the 7-5 team we saw all year. Whatever bowl game we arbitrarily get put into shouldn't change how you view the season. Also, you may have wanted the Gator bowl, but Michigan being what it is usually gets selected over other comparable win-loss teams and hence why we got selected ahead of Nebraska. It may have given us a less than 'sexy' match-up for this bowl pick, but this type of bowl slotting is also what helped Michigan secure the Sugar bowl bid a few years ago. Take the good with the bad.

|Who cares. Michigan could
Who cares. Michigan could come out wearing bumblebee uniforms with the Dominos logo on the back and I am fine with that as long as they come out ready to play against an older and more talented Ohio State squad. The only tradition Michigan fans should care about fulfilling regarding 'The Game' is the team playing a very tough and competive game against our biggest rival. Considering the recent struggles in this area, what uniforms we are wearing should be irrelevant.

|I think the number 4 stipulation should only be
I think the number 4 stipulation should only be applied if Hoke has person ally worked with the guy he is going to hire. Hoke doesn't need to bring in more Michigan Men and quite frankly I hope whoever he hires doesn't have any ties to the program. I want the best coaches period. We don't need more coaches that think coaching at Michigan is the pinnacle of their career. We have that guy in Hoke. We need guys that are ambitious and looking to keep advancing in the coaching arena. Outside of a couple years, Michigan has been a stagnant program for a couple decades. Too many seasons with 4 or more losses and not enough challenging for a national title.Changing the culture of coaching could go a long way to help rectify that.

I have no idea whats standard pricing for scalping tickets, but my buddies and I waited until 2 minutes after kick-off and were able to get 4 seats together for $70 total. Only ended up missing the first 3 minutes of the game and I can't even say I cared at that price. Will probably try to do the same for the Ohio game as well.

|So just bringing in more
So just bringing in more Michigan Men? I like Hart as much as the next guy, but I'm not willing to make him a coach here just because he played football for us a while back. If he is the best available, hire him right way, but I doubt he is the best available option.
|40 weeks 4 days ago
Just because he is a Michigan man? If he had no Michigan ties, he wouldn't even be on the list. Michigan needs to go after the best person out there, not the best person they can with Michigan ties. I know if will be harder to hire such a person, but throwing enough money at the person usually solves that issue.

We are a last second drive away from having lost 6 straight to MSU. And next year doesn't look like a great shot either, considering we will be on the road again. And if we don't beat Ohio State this year, we are looking at losing 10 out of the last 11 games considering the team has to play in Columbus next year.
Don't even know what to say to that...Something has to give eventually I guess, but until then, its been a rough few years to be a Michigan Football fan.

|I think anything but sticking
I think anything but sticking with the Indiana gameplan is calling for trouble. What made the Indiana gameplan so good was that Michigan's offense wasn't all that predicatable. We passed on some early downs which helped out the running game later in the game. Let State stack the box and and force Gardner to throw. I believe he is capable of airing it out to our guys and forcing State's defense to back off some.

I think many people have forgotten about him since the Green committment and are just assuming he will take a back seat to Derrick for a few years. But if previous recruiting rankings have shown us anything, it is that being higher rated doesn't necessarily mean they will be better in college. I think Mr. Smith will end up surprising a lot of people in his time at Michigan and sooner than we all think.

Last week Eric Winston chewed out Kansas City Chiefs fans for cheering quarterback Matt Cassel when he was injured. Now, replacement QB Brady Quinn is giving fans reasons to boo, throwing this tipped INT to Mark Barron early in Sunday's game.
OK, so maybe it wasn't all Quinn's fault (other than that whole throwing-into-double-coverage thing)-- but still, in honor of Winston, we're blaming all the woes on the QB anyway, all in an effort to get yelled at. BOOOOO! What say you now Eric?!

Backpacker Magazine – May 2011
Every backpacker dreams of a glory job in the outdoors. Senior Editor Shannon Davis heads to Mt. Rainier--and a grueling tryout with premier guide operation RMI--to find out what it takes to make the grade.
I returned from an RMI guided summit climb of Rainier August 7th. They really are the best in the business and I knew I was in good hands. This is a great insiders view of what it takes to guide. Thanks for the guides perspective of this beautiful mountain.
Thanks for a wonderfully-written article that 'guides' your readers through the information while keeping us entertained, just as you 'guide' your clients up and down your mountains. I'd hire you in a skinny minute.
Great story. I loved reading your experiences, the thoughtful interacting, and compassion shown. It gives me some ideas as I take youth on outdoor trips this summer. Thanks.
We're going out to hike Rainier this summer and this story was excellent as a primer for the experience. For me, it is good to know that guides do not always feel the confidence they show on the outside. So glad the pencil was swiped. I'll even bring an extra to leave in its place!

Today is the first day of school for Mandan students.
As of today Mandan Public schools has 3451 students enrolled, up 141 from last school year.
The biggest increase is at the elementary level with 113 more students than last year.
Even with the additional students in the schools superintendent Mike Bitz says the first day of school went well.
"We're a year away from opening up Red Trail elementary school so our elementary class sizes are a little larger than we'd like them to be, we're trying to support our teachers as best we can to make it a nice learning environment for our students," Superintendent Mike Bitz said.
Today was also the first day of school for Shiloh Christian students.
Like many other schools in the state they've also seen an increase in enrollment.
This school year they've added 40 more students to their family.
Superintendent Morgan Forness says it's exciting to add more kids to the school but it does come with some challenges.
"Probably one of the biggest challenges we've had is the fact that over the last four years we've had double digit growth each and every year and we've had to make some facility adjustments and this year was no exception, we had to move the fourth grade over to the middle school/high school building, we pretty much utilized every available space on campus," Superintendent Morgan Forness said.
Shiloh has 423 students in grades K-12.

CEDAR HILL - Dozens of North Texas women are getting ready for a 5K run unlike any before. The goal isn't to be the fastest or to beat the competition. It's to get messy in the mud.
It's all part of Saturday's "Dirty Girl Mud Run". Mud crawls and inflatable obstacles are scattered across Cedar Hill State Park. On Friday, News 8 watched several local women try to make it through one of the challenges. A portion of the money raised goes to help the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
"In addition to the support we get from these wonderful ladies who are coming out in the mud, to support Dirty Girl and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, it's partnerships with these great organizations like the Dirty Girl Mud Run that we are able to grow out programs every year through their donations," Susan Morales, with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, explained.
There is still time to sign up, but remember: No men. This one is for women only.

Reviews for Apple Pie Jam
Sort By :
This is wonderful. After it had cooled down, tried the leftover in the dish, thot it was way too spicy..ohoh. The next morning DH said it was delish. He'd had it on ice cream, and on his toast this am. So i had it on toast..yes a keeper. Not overly spicy at all, and i even used the mace. I'll be making it again. Just won't be eating it by the spoonful!
Today I made 3 different types of Jam for Holiday gifts, the Apple Pie Jam was hands down the best. In fact I plan to make more and not give them away, this is the best apple jam recipe ever. Really does taste like apple pie. I did not alter the recipe in any way, try it as is, it is wonderful.
Made this and it is delicious. I have shared this recipe with many friends.
I was wondering if you have a version that is no sugar or less sugar? Thanks
I've made this twice. Everyone that's tried it, loved it. Makes a pretty gift. Thank you for sharing
Made this yesterday an had some on toast this morning..very tasty! Used Golden Delicious apples but will use Cortlands next time...definitely a keeper recipe.

Strabismus is a vision problem in which both eyes do not look at the same point at the same time. It usually develops during childhood and is sometimes called "crossed-eyes," "walleye," or "squint."
Normally, the muscles attached to each eye work together to move both eyes in the same direction at the same time. Strabismus occurs when the eye muscles do not work properly to control eye movement. Often the cause is not known. Causes may include farsightedness, head injury, and muscle and nerve disorders that weaken or damage the muscles that control eye movement.
Without treatment, strabismus can cause permanent vision problems. Not using one eye can also lead to poor vision in that eye (called lazy eye or amblyopia).

Evening all. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Haven't been around the site too much lately because I guess I'm still a little devastated from the Gerald Wallace trade (as is he). There was also a slight shift in my schedule so I've only been able to catch bits and pieces of the team sans Crash, and the box scores haven't been too pretty. However, at this point, I can't really say that it bothers me much. Since it's been a while, I plan on using this post to talk about quite a few things and hope that I can keep your attention for a few minutes. Among the topics of discussion will be my thoughts on the Wallace and Nazr Mohammed trades, Gerald Henderson 's new role in the starting line-up, Jordan's strategy from the outside looking in on building a championship contending team, and of course, the playoff chase.I'd like to start this thread by examining the two trades that the Charlotte Bobcats made on deadline day and give my exact thoughts on them..........
Gerald Wallace to Portland for Joel Pryzbilla, Dante Cunningham, 2 1st Round Picks, Sean Marks
Yes, I admit it, I actually approve of this trade. Although I was one of the biggest supporters of the "Keep Gerald Wallace" movement, you have to know when to strike a deal, and apparently, that "when" was 7 minutes before the deadline. With this trade the team accomplishes every goal a rebuilding team could wish for. We rid ourselves of Gerald's salary (though it wasn't that outrageous compared to his production), acquire 2 first round draft picks, a serviceable big man on an expiring contract to help us remain somewhat competitive through the rest of the year, and a young prospect who has the potential to blossom into something a lot better (much how Wallace was when we picked him up from Sacramento in the expansion draft). A few people had felt that Wallace's value had decreased enough for it to be just a straight up Pryzbilla and Cunningham for Wallace trade and approved. However, I was always fairly certain that Crash' value didn't depreciate nearly as much as some of the offers that were made had us believing. Apparently, M.J. was certain of it too, ignoring all of the low ball offers made by other teams and basically giving us a package similar to what Deron Williams and Carmelo Anthony netted their former teams, just on a smaller scale. Meanwhile, the Queen City has to say goodbye to a man that had gone from bench warmer to All-Star to becoming the face of our franchise. However, that fact becomes much easier to digest when you consider that Wallace, not yet at least, hasn't started for the Blazers and may never crack their starting lineup at SF (considering the Blazers refused to part with Batum for Melo himself). There may be a small situation in Portland brewing as Crash has already let it be known to Nate McMillan he isn't there to be a 6th man, but let's hope Gerald remains as classy as he did throughout his 7 years in Charlotte because LORD knows the classiness of the Blazers fans that have visited the site in the past few weeks have me wishing nothing but the best for their franchise.
Nazr Mohammed to Oklahoma City for D.J. White, Morris Peterson
This move here demonstrates that Jordan has a plan set in motion and I like that. He knew that we would be acquiring another center from the Portland trade who could come in and duplicate a lot of the things that Nazr was doing. So, instead of having an overload on centers on the team, he makes a deal to give a contending team a veteran for a playoff push, while not taking on more salary but getting a young prospect out of the trade to fulfill a team need. White, in his limited time in Charlotte thus far, has been fairly impressive and looks as though he can hold down a backup PF spot for the franchise at a low salary. Peterson was basically just a throw in to make the salaries match on the last year of his deal, so no harm was done there. Jordan is making moves that actually make sense and adhere to one specific goal. Let's see how long he sticks with it.
Gerald Henderson
The addition by subtraction move of the day undoubtedly goes to the playing time the Portland trade creates for Gerald Henderson. Although I think at this stage in his career he is better suited for the sixth man role we had him in, the rest of the season will give us a chance to see how good he truly is and if he can be a cornerstone player for the franchise. I actually think Hendo has star talent and could become a player in the mold of a poor man's Kobe. I mean, he kinda already is. Think about it. He's super athletic, a lock down defender, has an average but adequate outside shot, a deadly mid-range jumper, and plays the game with a confidence level that a lot of players are afraid to reach. Add in the fact that they both chose Duke as their college (but Kobe didn't go) and they were both selected by Charlotte in the lottery and the comparison's continue to run deeper. But I'll ease up on that for now. All I am saying though is don't be surprised if Hendo turns into a star. Athletic wings who can average 20 points per game on border line playoff teams and play lock down defense turn into household names all the time. Give me a good reason why Hendo can't be one. He's going to have to do better than he's done in his starts thus far, but I think he's going to surprise a lot of people.
The Push For The Playoffs
It almost feels like a burden was lifted off of our shoulders by trading Crash. Now, the pressure of having to make the playoffs to justify our roster is no longer there. This "rebuilding" that everyone has been wanting for so long is here, and for those that were at the front of the line wanting Crash gone, I hope you're here to see the downfall of the team and the impact that Crash really had, which could never be measured in pure statistics. Luckily for those wanting to get back in the playoffs though, the Indiana Pacers are starting to fall off (as I predicted) and keep giving us hope of sneaking in. At this point though, honestly, I don't care. We're in a win win situation. The worse that we do, the higher our lottery pick will be. We do good, and we still have shot at the playoffs. How many of you are still hoping for the playoffs though? If we do get in, we'll undoubtedly be a number 8 seed going up against a number 1, only to probably lose all four first round games and move us towards the bottom of the lottery. The question here really is "Will the experience that comes with playing in the playoffs have a better effect on our player/franchise mentality long term compared to the question is it better to just move up in the draft?" It's risky either way. With no franchise type players in the draft (not that we can see yet anyway), it may be best to just aim for the playoffs and hope D.J., Tyrus, and Hendo can use their experience to grow as the Bulls did last year. Plus, let's not forget Tyrus Thomas will be returning along with Stephen Jackson very soon. I know it seems like a lost cause, but it's not. Not yet at least.
These Are Michael Jordan's Bobcats
Over the past 2 seasons, Bobcats fans have watched as every bit of their short history has been traded or changed in some way. No longer are we the "Play the Right Way" Cats. No longer do we have our first ever draft pick, Emeka Okafor. No longer is the UNC product Raymond Felton the head of our team. No longer is Gerald Wallace the face of our franchise. These are Jordan's Cats, and he is going to do what he wants with them to build what he thinks is a championship contender, regardless of the emotions of the fans. I applaud Jordan's strategy, but am a little worried that his desire for a constant roster turnover will never lead to a stabilizing product. M.J. has a history of being a gambler, and some of those traits are carrying over into the War Room of the NBA. He's not interested in anything but getting maximum value out of each piece that we have, and I think that's primarily the reason Crash was the one that had to go. Moving forward, I think Henderson, Tyrus and D.J. will be given every chance to succeed, with Cunningham, Livingston, D.J. White, and Kwame Brown being capable backups that teams need to keep around on those short, cheap contracts. As for everyone else, I really think their time in Charlotte will be coming to an end very soon, including Stephen Jackson 's. Judging by the moves we've made in the past, I can pretty much guarantee Boris will be gone by the deadline next year if not much sooner, and Jax could be dealt at the same time. It'll take years to see if Jordan has the right plan, so in the meantime, a few things we should be paying attention to.
Charlotte (26-38) Will 32 wins be enough to get in the playoffs? Maybe. But that would be just sad.
Indiana (27-37) With a big loss to the Wolves last night, the Pacers don't seem to be anxious to take the final spot in the east.
Milwaukee (25-38) The Bucks are creeping back into the playoff picture.
New Orleans (38-29), let's hope Nawlins', who are currently 7th in the West, to fade while Houston or Phoenix picks it up. If we and the Hornets both miss the playoffs, that's two lottery picks.
NBA Draft.net is currently projecting us to take Jimmer Fredette with the #10 overall pick.

Wausau, WI - June 29th, 2010 (PRESS RELEASE)- The Wisconsin Woodchucks beat the Madison Mallards tonight 11-6 to remain in first place in a crowded Northwoods League South Division. The Woodchucks move to 16-10, while the Mallards fall to 9-15.
Jared Eickhoff (1-2) picks up his first win on the season, coming on in relief and allowing only one run in 3.2 innings of work. Bryce Shafer would make his second start and pitch quite effectively, before allowing five Mallards runs in the fourth inning. Cory Hall would pick up the save, going 1.1 innings, giving up one hit with two strikeouts.
The story of the night was the Woodchucks' bats, who set a season high with 17 hits, totaling 11 runs. Kevin Pillar led the way, going 5 for 5 with three runs scored, a stolen base, and an RBI. Travis Whitmore would stay hot going 3 for 4, tallying 3 RBI and 2 walks. Pat Terry would also smack his second home run on the season back in the third inning.
The Mallards arms had another rough night, as the scorching hot Woodchucks lumber got the better of them. Madison's pitching staff, and defense, would surrender 26 baserunners to make for a long night at the office for the Ducks.
The Woodchucks got the job done and kept pace with the victorious Green Bay Bullfrogs and Eau Claire Express, who would both move to 15-10 and sit .5 games behind the 'Chucks. The Woodchucks and Mallards will do it again tomorrow down at Warner Park in Madison, before returning to Wausau on Thursday to complete the home-away-home series.

State Auditor Stacey Pickering announced Wednesday that Warren County Circuit Clerk Shelly Palmertree has been indicted on two felony counts of embezzlement by a Warren County Grand Jury.
Palmertree surrendered to the Warren County Sheriff's Office and Auditor's Office Special Agents Wednesday morning where she was arrested and booked. Palmertree posted a $5,000.00 bond and was released.
State Auditor Stacy Pickering says she was arrested, "On two counts of her converting funds from one account in one case to her own personal account. The other, the allegation is she converted to an appropriate account for her own benefit."
On March 5th, the Auditor's Office served a civil demand to Palmertree in the amount of $661,751.75. The amount of $402,033.00 was attributed to Palmertree exceeding the fee cap, and $163,700.00 was attributed to her making payments to relatives within the first degree of kinship.
"I appreciate the diligence of the Warren County Board of Supervisors and the Board Attorney in working closely with my office to insure the taxpayers of Warren County are protected," said State Auditor Stacey Pickering.
Prosecution of this case is being handled by the Mississippi Attorney General's Office.
Pickering says, "The grand jury there has cited there is enough probable cause to issue a 2 count indictment. She was booked on that this morning she'll have her day in court, and we'll have our day to back up our allegations and I'm confident at the end of the day, we will be proven to be right in this case and she will be held accountable and that money will be returned to the taxpayers of warren county."

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Linebacker Jer-ryan Harris isn't convinced Arkansas-Pine Bluff has made believers out of its Southwestern Athletic Conference rivals.
The Golden Lions won their first outright SWAC title last season and are picked to repeat as West Division champions going into this season. Harris said Monday at SWAC media day that the team's mind-set is "for us to actually get the respect we deserve, we will have to repeat."
Arkansas-Pine Bluff received 14 of 24 first-place votes in the West, well ahead of traditional powers Southern (six) and Grambling State (one).
Alabama State is the pick to win the West.
Pine Bluff quarterback Ben Anderson is picked as preseason offensive player of the year while Jackson State defensive back Qua Cox is tabbed as the top defensive player.
