Celebrating its 50th anniversary, Saturday afternoon, dozens of students, teachers, and staff, past and present, roamed the hallways of Martinez Elementary. This was the last chance for them to reunite before the school is rebuilt this summer.
In September, the Columbia County Board of Education approved rezoning plans involving three schools. The board agreed to rebuild Martinez and Evans elementaries, and permanently shutting down Bel Air Elementary.
During the 2014-2015 school year, students attending Martinez Elementary will enroll at Bel Air Elementary, while the school is rebuilt. That year, half of the students from Bel Air and all of the students from Evans will attend the new Evans Elementary, just a block down the street from where the school stands now.
Administrators say the new building will hold twice as many students as the old ones. Right now Martinez and Evans elementaries, which were built in the 1950s and 1960s can hold about 450 students.

Step Three: Business Plan
Introduction: A Recipe for Success
Do you want your business to succeed?
Studies show that small business owners who complete a business plan before starting their businesses are much more likely to succeed than small business owners who do not.
How does a business plan help small business owners succeed?
1) It helps you by providing direction for your business.
It answers the following questions:
- What type of business are you starting?
- What are your goals?
- How will you reach your goals?
- Who are your customers?
- Who is the competition?
- Where should you locate your business?
- How will you finance your business?
- How will people find out about your business?
2) It helps you by providing information to other people who could help you succeed, such as investors, banks, potential partners, and future employees.
Preparing a Business Plan takes time and effort, but, in the long run, it will save you time and effort. It will help you find out:
- Can your business make money?
- Do you have the time, energy and resources to make your business work?
- How quickly will your business grow and how much will the growth cost?
- What are the benchmarks that will show how your business' planned growth compares to its actual growth?
If you decide the business can succeed and you can make it work, the Business Plan will serve as your guide throughout the entire start-up process and as a reference for the entire life of your venture. Its importance cannot be overemphasized.
The business plan is a continuous process, not a document that is done once and then put away on a shelf. It should be updated every quarter, or at the minimum annually, to compare the actual figures that have transpired with the projections that were initially included in the plan. Comparing your budget with what has actually happened will help keep a company "on track" and prevent future surprises.
This guide is designed to make the process of preparing a Business Plan easier. If you have completed the research in "Step 1: Getting Started," you have already done some of the homework necessary for the Business Plan.
If you really want to be in business for yourself, if you are willing to invest the time and effort required to be successful, if you want to have a map to follow on the exciting road of entrepreneurship, continue reading.

1 box of raisins (15-ounce size)
½ lb. candied red cherries, chopped
½ lb. candied green cherries, chopped
½ cup Puerto Rican rum (or more if desired)
¾ cup butter, softened
½ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 whole eggs, beaten
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
½ lb. chopped walnuts (or pecans)
Start by taking a bowl large enough to hold all these ingredients and adding to it the raisins and both color cherries.
Then over the mixture splash on the rum and fold everything together well, making sure the liquor kisses all the ingredients.
Next, in a separate bowl (or in an electric mixer), cream together the butter, brown sugar, and eggs until the mix is fluffy.
Then sift the baking soda and the flour together and whisk into it the nutmeg, the cinnamon, and the salt.
When the cookie base is ready, take a spatula and fold in the candied fruit and the chopped walnuts until smooth. Don't shortcut this procedure-the dough needs to be well mixed.
When you're ready to bake, drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet and bake them for about 15 minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven until golden brown.
Hint: As soon as they come from the oven, removed them from the sheet pan and place them on a wire rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Jacksonville police are searching for a man they consider to be armed and dangerous following a traffic stop on Monday.
Officers attempted to stop 25-year-old Curtis Trevor Simmons on Monday for a traffic violation when Simmons took off in his car, leading to a lengthy pursuit. Eventually, Simmons jumped out of his vehicle and ran down an embankment into heavy woods.
According to Jacksonville police, Texas Department of Criminal Justice dogs were brought in to search for the suspect, but were unable to find the man. Officers recovered several weapons from Simmons' vehicle.
Simmons has a lengthy criminal history and is currently wanted by the Jacksonville Police Department for evading arrest with a vehicle, a state jail felony. The Cherokee County Sheriff's Department also has two warrants for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for the suspect.

Twenty-four hours after police in central Israel cleared a complex under the
control of an alleged powerful Arab crime family, two senior officers involved
in the operation received telephone death threats on Tuesday.
Members of
the Abd Al- Khader family in Taiba threatened the city's police chief Dep.-Cmdr.
David Pilo and a second officer whose identity is being withheld, police
The unnamed officer received a threatening call to his personal
cellphone, a police spokeswoman added.
Police from the central district's
Central Unit arrested nine members of the Abd Al- Khader family and brought them
in for questioning. The alleged death threats came a day after dozens of Taiba
police officers and border police officers under Pilo's command raided the Taiba
Ten private CCTV cameras installed on premises, which filmed
public areas, were removed in the raid.
Bulldozers also demolished
roadblocks and waste piles set up in the area, which blocked public
"The Abd Al-Khader family is heavily involved in the crime world
in the area," a police source said.
The raid is part of a new police
initiative to establish its presence in Arab-Israeli areas, which are plagued by
gun violence and crime.
Arab-Israeli officials and community leaders have
demanded that police enforce the law in their communities.
Police have
stepped up arms raids in Arab towns, seizing 250 firearms in 2011.
In a
recent interview with The Jerusalem Post, central police district head
Cmdr. Bentsi Sao said he identified a dramatic change in the approach to
police from the Arab Israeli public.
"They are calling for us to make our
presence felt in Arab areas," he said.

Town Square
Guest Opinion: With Walmart vote, City Council aligns with the '1%'
Original post made on May 18, 2012

I respect Sullivan's stand on this issue. It's really telling how local conservatives and Tea Party members fight harder to get a second Walmart than they do to support our local school district. They want the low, low prices of Walmart while not sacrificing a dime on a parcel tax for our schools. I bet they used the money they saved on the parcel tax to by a new gas bbq, weed whacker, or mud flaps for their SUVs. The local conservatives new motto should be "Bentonville, Arkansas before Pleasanton". Funny how conservatives are the first ones to buy a product made in China at Walmart. They are the first to spend money at a mediocre national restaurant chain or market based 3,000 miles away over supporting a locally owned business. They wave their American flags, but only care about the cheapest price regardless of how it hurts our community.
on May 18, 2012 at 9:05 am
Like Sal, I respect Sullivan's position and appreciate the well-written opinion piece printed here. You have my support, Matt. Keep up the good work and continue to stand on your principles.
on May 18, 2012 at 9:14 am
Mr Sullivan I respect your voice on this matter and your right to express it.
That said, I disagree, as is MY right.
There was no where near this amount of discussion and protest when Safeway opened that HUGE new store. If their business declines then they better take a look at their operating costs and massive overhead and not blame Walmart. If Gene's sales were so far down they had to sell, then maybe they should have been more competitive in their pricing.
There are still a good many people in this town that would love to share the enthusiasm about Pleasanton's economy etc, but their pocketbook dictates different!
I care about all those issues too. But I also care about the neighborhood that needs a grocery store, the elderly that live across Santa Rita from that site and the people who are not among Pleasanton's wealthy.
THAT is why I support the new Walmart Neighborhood Market

A 46-year-old man is dead following an accident on SR-82 near Homestead Road. The crash occurred around 1:50 a.m. and involved two vehicles.
Authorities say a silver Ford Mustang and a red Hyundai Elantra were both traveling east on SR-82 when the sedan attempted to make a left turn onto Homestead Road.
The silver Mustang attempted to pass the Elantra and the vehicles collided.
The crash was so loud, Emma Gierczak says it woke her from a sound sleep.
"I live about a block and a half away and at about 2 o'clock I heard a large bang," she described.
The driver of the Mustang, 46-year-old Joseph Gulluscio, Jr. was ejected from the vehicle as it flipped several times.
He was taken via ambulance to Lehigh Regional Medical Center as a trauma arrest pronounced deceased.
The driver of the red sedan has been identified as John Maldonado, 54, of Lehigh Acres. He was trauma alerted and flown to Lee Memorial Trauma Center via Aeromed and remains in critical condition.
John Gierczak and his wife live just blocks from where the crash happened. They say that SR-82 can sometimes be very dangerous.
"The road is very busy and I see a lot of aggressive drivers. They seem to just pass you at will and I think that more caution is needed," John says.
SR-82 is not considered a dangerous road by the Florida Department of Transportation. But it is only two lanes for 27 miles from Lee Boulevard to SR-29 in Immokalee.
"Right now SR-82 really doesn't have high volumes of traffic; so if someone's behind a few cars a little patience goes a long way toward safety," said Debbie Tower, with FDOT.
There's no stop signs or lights on this road because FDOT studies show traffic flow doesn't suggest they're needed right now.

Americans with Disabilities Act anniversary thread
by desmoinesdem, Sun Jul 25, 2010 at 08:47:20 AM EDT
The Americans with Disabilities Act became U.S. law 20 years ago this week. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, the law's key author and sponsor, keynoted an anniversary celebration in Iowa City yesterday. He called for further action, in particular personal attendant services for those who need them. But there's no question that the ADA improved the lives of millions of Americans. As Harkin told the Cedar Rapids Gazette a few days ago,
"Before the ADA, life was very different for folks in Iowa and across the country," Harkin said. "Discrimination was both commonplace and accepted."
After 20 years with ADA, "we recognize that people with disabilities — like all people — have unique abilities, talents and aptitudes," he said, "and America is better, fairer and richer when we make full use of those gifts."
However, Harkin sees the need to do more to help people with disabilities live outside of institutions and to help them gain employment.
I remember when Congress was debating this law, and some Republicans warned that new regulations on businesses would wreck the economy and spark endless lawsuits. However, President George H. W. Bush's administration ultimately decided not to go to war against this bill, and compromise language exempting small businesses from some requirements satisfied most Congressional Republicans. The final version of the ADA passed the Senate on a 91 to 6 vote in July 1990. Most Republicans joined all the Democrats present in voting yes.
Bipartisan support for ADA continued when Harkin worked with Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah to "preserve the intent of the ADA after several court rulings weakened its standards." The ADA amendments act of 2008 passed by voice vote in the House and unanimous consent in the Senate. Last week a Senate resolution recognizing the ADA's 20th anniversary and celebrating "the advance of freedom and the opening of opportunity" this law made possible passed by a 100 to 0 vote. That indicates how far out of the mainstream Rand Paul is; the Republican Senate candidate from Kentucky believes the ADA goes too far and is unfair to business owners.
Harkin became an advocate for people with disabilities in part because his brother Frank was deaf. Probably most Americans have at least one friend or relative who has directly benefited from the ADA. The accessibility guidelines for curbs, doors and entrances have allowed my wheelchair-bound friend to take her son to the park, to preschool or to a coffee shop. Before the ADA, a mother in her situation would have been unable to enjoy those things.
This thread is for any comments about the ADA or continuing barriers faced by people with disabilities.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
It's that lovely time of year when us Canadians get to drench everything in gravy, guilt free, and be thankful for all we have. It makes me sad that my Americano cohort Becca must wait a month for her turn at the gravy boat, so I'm officially declaring this a share-your-turkey-day!
So, regardless if you are here in Canada, the US, UK, Australia or Timbuktu, pull up a chair, have some grub and tell us what your grateful for. Me, I'm grateful for a healthy family, a job that I love and having such great people in my life--here at home and all of you!

Yay for family and lower gas prices.
Every time Topical storm season approaches I think of Becca and my other oline chums who routinely have to batten down the hatches. I don't know if I could live somewhere with such potential for violent weather.

LOL, Courtney. J horror allt he way. Last night I rented an oldie horror (not J, but still) Evil Dead. See, I totally love Bruce Campbell, who is like the best B movie actor of all time. Wow, wow, wow--what a gore-fest. I figured it's be pretty tame, being so old, but no. I enjoy the psychological horros much more. J horror is much more sophisticated.
Terra, I'm glad you're getting sufficient amounts of turkey. It's a whole month (ish) until your Thanksgiving, so hopefully it will carry you through!
Marcia, you are so right! I love, love,love Thanksgiving leftovers. Oh, the possibilities!!

Plumber: 'Smart' shower valve can be an intelligent choice
Scripps Howard News Service
With photo/graphic: SH12G029PLUMBER
By ED DEL GRANDE
Scripps Howard News Service
Q: My parents are getting on in years, but are still very independent. So, we're remodeling their bathroom with a low-threshold walk-in shower stall. The contractor told us that we should consider an electronic digital shower type of valve instead of a standard manual plumbing mixing valve. We're not sure about that. Can you please give us more information on digital shower valves? -- Nancy, Nevada
A: Digital shower mixing valves are becoming very popular now that new technology has made them easier to install and operate. Basically, if you can work a TV remote control, you can now work a digital shower "interface" control.
For those not familiar with this type of valve, it's a thermostatic shower mixing valve that is controlled by pushing buttons, instead of manually turning a mixing-valve handle. Since it is electronic, the main valve body is installed behind the shower wall according to local codes, and the only component in the shower area is a small, safe, easy-to-use digital control.
This control features a bright LCD display screen, on and off buttons, and even diverter controls so you can add a personal hand shower. There's even a pause button to save water, and the water temperature can be preset, making it a safe option for children and/or older adults. Plus, the push-button features can make operating the valve easier than manual compression kind of mixing valves.
Bottom line: A digital mixing valve can be a great choice for "aging in place" bathrooms.

A year of research ended with the reveal of the city of Avondale's new logo and branding on May 8 during State of the City Address by Mayor Marie Lopez Rogers.
Avondale city leaders reached out to more than 16,000 community members, of which 2,000 participated in surveys, focus groups and community meetings. The community members were composed of local businesses, schools, city employees, faith based and nonprofit organizations, homeowner associations, the local chamber of commerce, the community college and more. Not only did they help to develop the new city logo, they helped to create the "Avondale Story."
"Avondale is Aspiring Achieving, Accelerating," said Mayor Rogers.
The new logo celebrates Avondale's people, diversity and sense of optimism said Dan Davis, economic development director for Avondale.
The new logo will be implemented over the next several months.

The XSane scanner front-end for Linux
The Sane interface provides access to image processing devices such as scanners. You can manage your Sane-supported scanner from Linux with the handy XSane front-end.
A scanner sometimes comes bundled with free software you can use for operating the device. Unfortunately, the software often only runs on Windows or (maybe) Windows and OS X. If you are a Linux user and you're looking for a GUI to talk to your scanners, try XSane. XSane [1] is a graphical scanner front-end based of the Sane programming interface [2]. Sane is an acronym for Scanner Access Now Easy. The Sane programming interface sets a standard for access to image processing devices. The drivers for the image processing devices used with XSane, including scanners, are referred to in the Sane world as back-ends. If Sane has a back-end that matches your scanner, the installation process is really quite simple (see the "Setting Up Your Scanner" box.) Sane operations are controlled by front-ends. XSane is one example of a Sane front-end. Other Sane front-ends include tools such as Kooka [3] and QuiteInsane [4]. This article describes how to operate your scanner from a Linux computer using the XSane front-end.

First of the seed catalogs arrived a couple days ago. I have already spent several hours looking through it.
My plan this year is to make up a scrap book of sorts listing the plant variety, source and location in the garden where planted. As the gardening season progresses, make some notes as to quantity and quality. What prompted this is that I planted a small yellow watermellon last year that was prolific and a real treat. CRS. I can not remember their name or where I purchased the seeds. Also some plant varieties didn't work out well.

My school has a new student (male, 14 years old) from Vietnam who knows very little English. I have a volunteer who will work one-on-one with him every day, but he's not that experienced. I'm looking for a tutoring program my school can purchase with detailed activies that the volunteer can administer. Any ideas on where to find this?? Thank you for your help!

While Tom Ford has been keeping tight lipped about what exactly his follow up to his acclaimed "A Single Man" will be, it turns out if you keep asking him, details will begin to slip.
Previously, the only thing known about the film it was going to be "very different" to his debut, it was something he was developing "from scratch" and he had no problem answering early queries to the film by saying, "I'm not telling you anything about it." Well it looks like the people at Vogue (via Vulture) know how to treat a fashion icon and film director right, as he has opened up a little more to them revealing, "['A Single Man'] was my homo-angst movie. Now I'm shooting another. I'm writing the script — a comedy. I'm in the mood to have fun and smile."
No word yet on when it will go in front of cameras (we don't presume he's actually shooting it already, it's probably a figure of speech) but it's definitely a one-eighty following the melancholy ache of his debut. So Tom Ford wants to laugh, and whatever the result, it will probably be the most impeccably dressed, designed and photographed comedy of all time.

I cannot wait for Mr Ford's new film. Judging by A Single Man, he's a brilliant filmmaker, and, frankly speaking, he should concentrate on what he excels in, ie, making impeccable moving pictures.
Jon Rubin | November 17, 2010 1:27 AM
I wasn't too keen on A Single Man, but it showed finesse. This sounds like a step in the right direction. Colin Firth's suicide preparation scene was my favorite part, I can't remember if I lol'd but it was pretty funny... in an extremely dark sort of way, of course.

Guest columnist
I put on the coffee pot just as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it honey," I shouted to the Mrs., "that's Emil. We're going to have another 'top this' news story contest."
Marylu offered to join us for the event. I was surprised, since I thought she had no interest in such a contest. I certainly didn't mind. If she was bored, so be it: after all, she was getting the worst of it when she married me.
"Come on in, Emil. I'm ready to go – but I just plugged in the coffee pot," I explained, nearly tripping over a throw rug.
"Ed," Emil commented as he sat, "you are the only person I know who has an electric percolator. Why do you like it so much?"
"Well," I explained, "First, I like my coffee hot, and percolators bring the water to a boil. Second, cheap coffee tastes good in a percolator, third, I don't have to buy filters. And fourth, I like to hear it perk."
"Funny," he replied, "I thought you did that to irritate the gourmet crowd with their French presses and Kenyan A gourmet coffees."
"That's reason number five," I confessed with embarrassment. "Anyhow, bring any articles worthy of the challenge?"
"Sure do," Emil responded. Here's one from the New York Times. You can now buy a home solar-power system at Honda. They have a deal with SolarCity; I guess if you buy a Honda, you can also buy a solar system to provide electricity for your home. Let me read the article to you:
"'In a typical arrangement, a company provides a system at little or no cost in exchange for a long-term contract in which the customer pays a fixed fee for the electricity generated, set at less than the customer would pay for power from the local utility. The solar price often rises over the life of the agreement, which can last 20 years.'"
"Wow," I replied, "Things are really changing."
"Not that much," chimed in Marylu. "My mother had a solar powered clothes dryer before I was born?"
"Really?" Emil spoke with surprise.
"Yep," Marylu replied. "It was called a clothes line."
"Okay, let's move on" (after all, she stole that joke from me, and, since I can't remember who I stole it from, I consider it mine). "Now it's my turn. How about this one from the Sideshow?
"A California lawyer said guards in a San Diego jail forgot about him—and that he was trapped for hours inside a locked waiting room.
"'I know it takes a while to get the people, so I'm patient," Lopez said. "I don't have my cellphone with me because the policy is you can't use a cellphone inside.'
"After a half an hour, however, Lopez became concerned and tried to alert guards using an intercom...
The lawyer spent more than four hours inside the locked waiting room before a guard heard him and unlocked the door."
"Crazy," Emil replied. "Pretty good article. And I'm proud of you. You resisted the temptation to throw in a crummy lawyer joke."
"I've got an article!" Marylu offered. This time I was shocked! Marylu rarely competes with me, but when she does, I am doomed.
"Let's hear it," Emil responded while I grieved my imminent loss.
"This is from UPI," she offered:
"A 101-year-old man who has been in nine marathons since taking up distance running when he was 89 said he retired after a weekend race in Hong Kong.
"Fauja Singh, whose running and style of dress earned him the title 'Turbaned Tornado,' said Sunday's 6.2-mile race was his final competitive run, CNN reported Monday. Singh said he completed the Hong Kong event in 32 minutes and 28 seconds, shaving 4 minutes off his time from last year."
"I can't believe that!" I gasped. How can a 101 year old man run that fast?"
Emil changed the tone: "And I think we know who won the contest."
I smiled. Both Emil and I were gracious losers.

A's put Denorfia on DL; Harden returns
Oakland to work with four outfielders on depth chart for now
ARLINGTON -- The A's subtracted from their outfield depth again Sunday, placing Chris Denorfia on the 15-day disabled list to make room for Rich Harden, who started against the Rangers.
Denorfia's move to the disabled list because of lower back tightness came a day after Opening Day starting right fielder Travis Buck was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, even though he has fully recovered from shin splints and was ready to come off the DL.
The A's will go with four outfielders -- left fielder Jack Cust, center fielders Ryan Sweeney and Rajai Davis and right fielder Emil Brown. Infielder Donnie Murphy can also play in the outfield. Manager Bob Geren said Denorfia had been unavailable the last few days, which is why Murphy stayed in the game in left field after pinch-running on Wednesday against Baltimore.
Denorfia was batting .260 with no home runs and six RBIs in 25 games. He had not started since April 29 and had appeared in two of the A's last eight games.
Denorfia did have six hits in 17 at-bats with runners in scoring position.

The group of ladies delivered a number of Valentine's baskets to the elderly in their community. Inspiration Inc. is a nonprofit community-based organization committed to serving the elderly and developing comprehensive community-based programs for youth and their families.
"This organization provides young ladies in our community with opportunities for community empowerment and self-reliance, as well as enhancing the quality of their family life," said Cynthia Mitchell, the Inspirations executive director. "The inspirational youth programs this organization provides these young girls will help influence their thinking toward accomplishing tasks and achieving goals for a brighter future."
Mitchell said Inspiration Inc. not only addresses community needs but also counteracts the negative influences of drugs, violence, crime, school delinquency and teenage pregnancy.
"Our program content consists primarily of homework and tutoring assistance in many different subjects to help enhance the girls' skills," Mitchell said. "We work with girls at the middle and high school age on a variety of topics, such as self-esteem, college and career goals and so on."
Mitchell said the organization was started in 2000 but fell by the wayside over time. Inspiration has regrouped and will now be working on various community service projects.
Mitchell's mother, Sarah McElrath, serves as president of the organization and helped organize the group when it first organized. Several former members will serve as mentors for this new group, including Cyndriae Ingram, Shontia Spears, Kai Johnson and Ebonie Franks.
"Like a lot of things, life's storms got in the way, but we've started the group back up and we have several former members who are serving as mentors," Mitchell said. "We kicked off our first community service project with our Valentine's Day Basket Giveaway, and we'll be working on several more projects, including helping the elderly in our community who need help."
Mitchell said every other Saturday the group will be working on variety of service projects, including visiting elderly residents around the community and assisting those who need help with cleaning their homes.
"Any of the elderly in our community who need assistance can contact us, and we'll be glad to come out and help them," Mitchell said. "And we're hoping all the young ladies in the community will come join us and become an inspiration to others."
Any young lady interested in joining The Inspirations Inc., can contact Cynthia Mitchell at 205-717-7026 for more details.

vacation rental description
Our beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom house is walking
distance (0.3 miles) to the majestic Delaware River at Skinners
Falls--known by locals as the best place on the river for swimming,
tubing, rafting, kayaking, and canoeing. There you can sun yourself on
the enormous flat rocks that jut into the water, or rent a boat or
tube from outfitters located right on the banks of the river. In the
evening relax on our 16' x 30' deck in our private, wooded back yard,
grill your catch of the day, and enjoy a nice game of scrabble. In the
winter, there is hiking and skiing close by, or you can just curl up
with your sweetie in front of the fireplace. We're also only a 15
minute drive from the Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center on the
original Woodstock site.
Just a mile from the house across the river is a 100-year-old general
store with sandwiches, ice cream, pizza, and even DVD rentals. The
charming towns of Narrowsburg and Callicoon are just a short drive
from the house (Narrowsburg is 6 miles south, Callicoon is 6 miles
north) where you can browse the shops, have a nice meal, pick up
groceries, or even go bowling or to the movies. These unspoiled towns
are absolutely adorable, and you won't find a Wal-Mart or McDonalds
for miles.
Our home is perfect for families, small groups of friends, writers
looking for solitude, or anyone who loves the outdoors. If this property is not available please

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- November often brings images of elections and turkeys, but the Tri-City Americans are hoping to add another image, the 'stache.
During the month of MOvember the Americans are joining in on the effort to raise awareness and eyebrows about prostate and testicular cancer.
"You get random looks if you outside of the rink, and people think you're kind of a creepy guy. But I mean everyone in the hockey world knows it's for a good cause, its for cancer so I mean, it's why we all do it," forward Jesse Mychan said.
"I can't really do it so, I'm trying. But it's not really coming in too well. But we'll see at the end of the month. I'll have a little bit," said the defenseman, Yuen.
"It also stinks when you can't grow a Mustache and everyone is making fun of you, but its for a good cause," forward Ryan Chynoweth added.
Last year the Canadian Hockey League raised more than $180,000 for that cause.
"Not everybody just wants to grow a mustache right? so I mean it does take some courage to do it," Mychan said.
"You know, it's awareness of men's health and prostate cancer, and I think it's a good cause definitely, and it creates a lot of awareness for problems for us men," Yuen added.
Whether their mustaches are big or small, the Americans are doing their part to make a difference.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 441 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by RKSH Beautiful Beach We enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton in Maui very much. The concierge was very helpful to our granddaughters and the beach was fabulous. It was perfect for snorkeling. June 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ohboy3x Front desk communication terrible - Be prepared Arrived late on a Wednesday night to check in and were told we were upgraded to deluxe ocean front room from ocean front room we reserved. Little did we know that meant driving to a different area away from main hotel, pool etc. area. The deluxe room was beautiful but we were on the lower level so our room overlooked a grass area and a hedge. If we stood up on our toes we could see the beautiful view. Not what we wanted. Our friends who we were traveling with were two doors down and they had two standup fans blowing in their room with the furniture moved and the drapes pulled up - obviously some sort of damage was being cleaned up... think they would have know that at the front desk before sending guests to that room. We went to lobby to let them know those rooms would not work only to be told that was all that was available. After not budging on keeping the rooms we were given, we were able to get them to get us rooms we ORIGINALLY RESERVED but not until the next day. Next day we had a message saying to be packed and ready to move by 11 am. Headed to the front desk, gave them our cell phone #'s and were told they would call when the rooms were ready. After checking throughout the day we finally went to the front desk around 4pm to find out what was going on. We had dinner reservations at 6:00 and wanted to be settled to get ready. Asked to speak to the manager hoping it would make things easier since everyone else had a blank stare and seemed confused with no info for us. The manger was helpful and informed us our room would be 4 floors away from our friends we were traveling with and it had a stand on balcony. I told her that would not work because I reserved a room with a lanai (table and chairs ) so she happily moved us to the 5th floor instead. We finally headed to our second room only to find out the 5th floor had a stand only balcony also .. not table with two chairs. Frustrated because of the conversation I JUST HAD WITH THE MANAGER she still put us in a room with a stand on balcony. Seriously!?!? The rest of our stay was great. Daily housekeeping was great and staff very helpful. Grounds are well kept and clean. Pool area is nice as well - very convenient beach access and loved snorkeling black rock. Problems continued checking out. I was charged for room service I never had and I was charged 100.00 a night more for my room. I had an email with the room rate confirmation when checking out but she ignored it when I showed her and proceeded to disappear into a back room to check with the manager. Finally she came back and was one dollar more a night than my CONFIRMED RESERVATION email but at this point I was exhausted dealing with the front desk and it showed. I checked out paying the extra 4 bucks just to be done with it. I would stay here again but I will be prepared for it. I will call several days in advance and the day I am expected to arrive to verify may reservation, room etc. and not let them "upgrade" (sarcasm) my room. August 19, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by cazcoetzee Unprofessional and incompetent Dear Mr. Yamazaki, General Manager My husband and I recently stayed at the Sheraton Maui. I made my reservations (9/10/2013) by following the instructions on a Voucher I bid on at a Silent Auction. You, or an authorized person from the Sheraton Maui was so kind to donate the 2 nights of Ocean Front accommodations to benefit a youth organization on Maui. We were the winning recipients of this voucher by paying the highest bid. I called in advance, requested a front desk or resort manager, and completed my reservation. I received a confirmation # as well as an email showing the King OceanFront room booked! I chose the weekend of our 25th wedding anniversary, September 20,21 of 2013 to celebrate. Upon our arrival, I presented our voucher, and we were asked to wait while the gentlemen at the front desk went in the back. After 15 min., we discovered that the front desk manager that booked our room entered the information incorrectly, and we were not booked for the "Ocean Front" room as indicated on our voucher. Needless to say, we were very disappointed, but nonetheless asked how this was to be corrected. Unfortunately, by now, we were told the "Ocean Front" rooms are sold out and we are stuck with a room that was not what we paid for. At this point we are now into this for about a half hour, Gabe, your front desk employee was very kind to "offer" us to move into an "Ocean Front" room for the second night, as well as complimentary breakfast. He proceeded to inform us that we will be notified by phone of our change the next day (we gave him our cell number) and that if we were away from the hotel, our belongings will be moved to the "Ocean Front" room for us. The following day, we assumed that your staff was capable of handling the room change, so proceeded to have our belongings completely packed and ready to be transferred, and headed out for our golf game. We returned from our golf game to pick up the key to our new room only to find the front desk employees, confused, and uncertain as to what was to take place. We asked why we had not received a phone call and one of the ladies said they had called us. We showed them our phone indicated NO received calls from the Sheraton, she made no apology. So on our second day of our two day stay, we are now at your front desk again, while your staff is trying to figure out what to do. Fortunately, they were able to confirm that the Ocean Front room was ready, its now 5:00 pm, but unfortunately, again, the ball was dropped. There were no bell men available and they were certain the luggage had not been transferred. We had to hike all the way to the previous room retrieve our luggage, and then finally proceed to our new room. Im sure you are aware of how large your property is? When we finally arrived at our new room, I noticed that the phone message light was blinking. Strange? I proceeded to check the message, it was informing the "guest" that their new room was ready? I don't know if that was the message your front desk lady was talking about, but its very confusing? We left a cell phone number to be notified by since we wouldn't even be in either room for the day. All this to say, our experience with your resort and staff was unprofessional, inefficient and incompetent to carry out a very simple 2 night reservation. I can only hope that the inattentiveness given to us was NOT because we used a voucher or because we are residents of Maui. We "paid" for our stay at your resort, but were not treated as such. I can also only hope that this is not a regular occurrence, but I seriously have my doubts, given the ridiculous amount of inconveniences we experienced in two short days. From our experience in traveling for many years all over the world, we have NEVER experienced such dissatisfaction. September 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wendyk Great Stay! This hotel is in a great location on Ka'anapali Beach! We had a wonderful stay here. The hotel front desk staff was excellent! We had an issue with needing an ADA room with a wheel in shower for my parents, and they upgraded them to make sure they got the correct room. June 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mike376 Second Time Around Disappointing Last year, my Wife and I had our Honeymoon at this hotel. Everything was excellent and couldn't be better. The following year, 2013, we brought the kids and used some Star Points to book this room. Our room was a huge disappointment, the ocean view was on the first floor and there were kids playing lawn games all day long right in front of our patio. The sliding mirror closet with the safe had both doors off the track, I fixed them both so that they were back on the track. The Bathroom was a mess, the shower had no water pressure and the top shower fixture was loose as can be so you couldn't put the hand held shower on the upper fixture to take a shower, you had to constantly have it in your hand. The ceiling had a ton of black marks on it, mostly looked like bugs were smashed on it. the fridge in the room didn't get cold and our bottles of water and juice spoiled, $75 down the drain. Bottom line is that the inside of the Sheraton seems like a cheap motel instead of a resort. June 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by CRAYG First Time in Maui I had booked this reservation months in advance. This was my first time to the Islands, I had never had the desire to travel to them until I had met a wonderful lady who did. This was a trip to make my proposal, and it had to be perfect!! we arrived... and the room I booked was not available we were placed in another room where we could not unpack and had to wait until the next day. for our booked room above the black rock, this was the ice breaker for our visit here. All other amenities were great, but I will not endorse to my friends because I would not want them to experience the disappointment I had that first night! February 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jozey Above and beyond restaurant service My twin grandchildren were staying at Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa with their parents during the celebration of their 3rd birthday. I am located in FL during the winter months and wanted to send them a little sweet treat for their special day. I called the hotel and was directed to Justin Zeches, Manager of the Bar and Restaurant. I explained to Justin that I just wanted to send them a little sweet in celebration of their birthday, and he so accommodatingly offered to send them a sweet to each of them to their room with a candle. He was so understanding and helped me easily make my grandchildren's day even more special. Thank you Justin - you're a very special and caring member of the Starwood team!! April 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kiara20 Anniversary stay The room was good partial view of ocean and mountain view was good The cliff dive bar and pool area was good no complaints. The Link lounge was nice evening cocktail and dessert staff was outstanding. But The Black Rock restaurant was horrible ,the food was cold tasteless and I had to ask for refills and the worst part I paid top dollar for this.I would eat at a fast food place before I would ever think of eating in this place again. May 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by billie2 great ocean views Our stay did not start off well, Irene at registration was rude & gave us a hard time about our reservations, we had to call our travel agent to sort it out. Next morning Evelyn J. took problem over and straightened everything out.; Changed our room and made sure we were satisfied. Evelyn is our hero. Recommend her highly. Restaurant prices very expensive. June 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by john531 Could be great, but... This hotel is in need of updating and its staff in need of customer service training. Kept up the first night by mechanical noises and had to change rooms. Unpacked in the 2nd room, came back from the pool to a giant wet spot in the carpet. No explanation but received a carpet dryer, which came in handy throughout the week due to lack of adequate bathroom ventilation. With a few exceptions, the staff was generally unfriendly, with women speaking in barely audible high-pitched tone. At least smile. Carpets in hallway tattered and trip-hazard. No restaurant or deli in the hotel when the pool grill/bars are rained out - had to leave the hotel for lunch! Luckily we had a car. February 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Josey1 Beautiful views The hotel is in a very picturesque setting along the ocean. It has a great expanse of property that gives you lots of space to roam around. We went for a wedding and the setting was beautiful and the reception was very nice. There was only one disappointment and that was that the pool was closed off for our use. When you go to a resort you expect to use the pool. Apparently the Sheraton honored a commitment to a religious group that only they could have use of the pool, so it was practically empty for the time I visited. However the beach was right there and we did get an opportunity to do some great snorkeling. April 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Spring72 Sheraton Maui We loved the grounds, the pool, the beach and all the amenities that went with those facilities. We also loved the view from our room. The room itself was adequate. The big problem was the bathroom. It was clean but extremely outdated. It had a toilet a tub/shower, and a plain sink. A sink that looked like it was left over from the 50's. We were paying 2014 prices for a 1950's bathroom. Most of the staff tried very hard and were extremely pleasant, the exception being the check in/check out desk. They were polite and smiled but the attitude was one of take or leave it, this is the way it is, they certainly did not go the extra mile like the rest of the staff. The breakfast buffet was very good and the restaurant was run very efficiently. A very big problem and inconvenience was the computer area used to print boarding passes. It had a printer that looked like it was the original printer HP ever produced. In addition it was low on ink, and completely failed to print our passes. This caused us great concern and when we were told there was no IT manager on duty we were very upset. Fortunately for us there was a very kind restaurant manager who knew how to email the passes to her email account and then print them from her printer. She was a great help who was also kind and courteous. In this era of computers this is totally unacceptable. Everything being said (bathroom, computer, check in/check out staff) we did enjoy our stay.All of the other factors were more the enough to sway the tide. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nshanker Excellent Hotel, Great Location The is a top notch hotel with an excellent location and facilities. The pool, the beach and the resturants were all conveniently located and the service was excellent The staff was friendly and helpful. It is coveniently located within walking distance of the Whalers Village where you will find good shopping and restuarants. My only complaint is the upgrade policy as I could not secure a upgrade with my suite night awards but was able to get it when I was willing to pay extra..kinda defeat the spirit of the SPG upgrade program!! Other than this, we had an excellent vacation and would definitely comeback July 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KKCHawaii Business golf trip It's always great to know that when you stay at one of the SPG properties the consistency and value is one you can count on. I always love the beds. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Philifish Location is best in Maui With a sandy beach for swimming, Blabk Rock for snorkeling or swimming with turtles, a sunset view of divers from the rock....Sheraton is a perfect location. pools are delightful. Pool Bar has great MaiTais. Servive everywhere, particularly at services poolside amazing. May 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CanadianKevinBacon Some Pros Some Cons The hotel is in a great location and has a beautiful pool area with the beach just steps away. It's a public beach, which is a good thing, because it enables you to take long walks/runs past the other hotels. The rooms were comfortable and nothing was better than being able to open your balcony door and fall asleep to the sound of the crashing waves. My main criticism is that it feels like they nickel and dime you for everything. There's a daily "hotel fee" that you pay but never feel like you get anything for. You only get 24 hours of free wifi before you have to pay for that as well. In addition, they charge you an exorbinant amount for the breakfast buffet, which should at least in theory be covered by the "hotel fee." My advice: be more forthright with your charges, please.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SGGG Exceeded Our Expectations Just wonderful, relaxing, and amazing. All staff so helpful. Evelyn check us in and she was just great. Check in was a breeze. We always found chairs by the pool and towels were always available. Pool was clean and fun. No screaming kids and room was quiet. We stayed in building 6 and had our own private parking! Ate at the Cliff Dive Bar several times. Big portions and we split meals. Husband and me one meal, kids one meal. Book activities at the pool, so convenient. We loved it, and will be going back. You are close to everything, Whalers Village, Lahania, and Black Rock. We were impressed. July 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Edw2014 Great hotel and location My wife and I stayed at the Sheraton in May 2014 and had a wonderful time. We had stayed in Kaanapli Beach many times but never in the Sheraton. The room was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Daily maid service was provided and our maid was exceptional. Highly recommend this hotel. May 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smokey45 We miss our Westin villa! Having no kitchen facilities is a drawback for us. Always eating out gets a bit tiresome and certainly expensive. We knew this upfront and are not complaining. Now that we have moved to our Westin Villas North, we are happy to get some home cookin! We loved snorkeling Black Rock. Big Mac in the breakfast restaurant is a delight; don't let him go. May 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Billster83 Thoughts from experienced traveler First of all, we stayed in building six and the room was amazing. We spent so much time just sitting on our lanai watching whales. Loved the pool, loved the self park up on that side, and loved the friendly people working there. I think our one big complaint was the lack of places to eat. There was limited food at the pool bar and the one Black Rock restaurant where we had our worst meal. They had run out of he three-course meal they were advertising by 8 p.m. and our waiter was rude. The other items on the menu were unbelievably expensive. Finding places to eat on site is definitely an issue. Otherwise, it was a wonderful time and easily the best place to stay on Kaanapali if you are into whale watching. January 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 55chevy Room furniture The sofa and chairs in the room are very uncomfortable and old. Need to be changed. Some light switches are worn out and need replaced. Bathroom tissue low quality for this type of hotel. Facility needs some definite upgrading which we were told is planned. May 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by alohagirl beautiful location This hotel has the best location on the island. The pool is fabulous. The room was great. Food was good, but pricey. Waitressing service at pool, lacking, and drinks were not done well. Snorkeling at the black is wonderful! Had a great stay! May 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Annika mrs Amazing Resort! Very nice get away. May 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by george1113 lack of customer service My stay at this resort did not meet expectations. The first issue i had with my stay was that there was no early check in, and when i arrived to check in, the line was extremely long and did not have enough staff to handle the line. i feel if people could check in a little early then the 3 pm check in time the wait wouldnt be as long and people would then be able to enjoy the resort sooner and not waste time waiting in line. also the front desk would not answer the phone in a timely fashion. i had to call many times to try to get a hold of someone to ask a simple question. because it was hard to get a hold of the front desk, i would have to leave my desk and walk over to try to get a simple question asked. November 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Naren53 Rooms We checked in on 02/20/2014. Nice courteous Sheraton personal upgraded my room to ocean view. Room had mold in the bathroom around tub. We went back to lobby another courteous staff member transfer us to 3422. which had big puddle, we thought it is not big deal it may be cleaning lady. so , we placed few towels. Next day morning we saw the puddle again. We knew it has to have plumbing problem underneath the floor. we notify the front desk. I hope they check their property prior to assigning the room to guest. Over all staff was extremely courteous. February 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by fatherofthegroom2013 Hotel Experience and Service I reserved a suite for my son and daughter in laws' honeymoon. The kids checked in late on Friday night and were given a standard room with no view. Fortunately they complained in the morning and were given a similar room with a better room for the remainder of the stay. I was concerned however that the desk staff seemed to give them a hard time about the room/upgrade because they said the SPG Lifetime Gold member (me) needed to be using the room. My personal concierge also tried to get an upgraded room prior to the stay and was not successful. It just seems like the staff could have done something more or been a bit more accomodating for the newlyweds and it left me disappointed with the service and level of treatment. August 19, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by WolfiesGirl Who sleeps in double beds? overpriced stay Three of us stayed in the room.. The beds were double beds. It was extremely uncomfortable to sleep two adults in double beds especially not as husband/wife. Food was extremely overpriced. I had two slices of french toast for $21, I realize food has to be shipped in. However, I just had french toast at my favorite restaurant at home. I received 6 slices of french toast with blueberries and whip cream for $8. Two waitstaff were extremely rude but other staff went out of their way to make our stay extremely pleasant. Erin at the kiddie poolside bar was awesome. September 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Duke27 Not too impressed for the price! Too expensive for what you don't get.... Front desk staff was unprofessional and rude. Our first room was a honeymoon upgrade, right next to the elevator which was very loud - constant thuds on the wall and dinging. After two nights of little to no sleep we expected to be moved. Long story short and 4 short vacation hours waiting...waiting and waiting to finally go back to the front desk and ask, to then be treated as if we were the problem, we were moved to a room that wasn't very cleanly and needed a lot of 'maintenance'. But we dealt with the ants all over the bathroom, two burnt out light bulbs, a shower that wouldn't drain and no 'upgrade'. Very disappointing... We expected more and a higher standard for the money we paid to stay. January 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MatMarDE Great Hotel with and excellent staff For our Honeymoon this hotel met all expectations. would definitely go back!!! April 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Windy07 This hotel needs some updating First stayed here in 1985 and don't really feel it has been modernized much since then. Our room was situated pretty much in a wind tunnel so using the outsides patios pretty much impossible. Asked to change it but told only similar rooms would be a $25 upcharge per night plus be another 3 days. Opted to just stay put. Staff friendly but will likely look for a different hotel next time.

Remember Me
DEAR EDITOR,In regards to your article in Saturday's paper about Delphos moving to a state wide radio system, I would like to add some insight, to the actual substance of the article itself and the statement by Mr. Berquist that the radios we received were free. The radios we received cost $280,000 and yes they have been setting on a shelf for at least a year because city council would not approve the $10,000 per year fee to put them to full function. Did the city of Delphos pay $280,000 for those radios? No but the tax payers did. Federally funded? The taxpayers also probably paid for those radios we may (or may not) communicate with in Cleveland and Indiana, more on this later.I have no problem spending $280,000 on radios if we needed them, but we do not! We have a perfectly functional radio system for our police, fire and EMS. We can reach Lima and Van Wert consistently. If we need to communicate with Cleveland we have the phone system, which brings me to my second point. The system being forced upon us operates at a frequency of 800 megahertz. The reliable distance for radios at this frequency is about 5 miles. The technology for us to talk to Cleveland on this system relies 100% on the internet. I'm not even sure we would have consistent and reliable contact with Lima or Van Wert without it. If the phone system is down because of any catastrophic event, like the June 29 storm that hit Delphos, my guess is we will not have the internet either, which we did not. This would leave us to ourselves. I have not and will not support any part of this system.Council has been led to believe that the $20 per month per radio to operate this system was going to drop to $5 per month, either way, right now our system only costs us the maintenance to operate the radios, and, we are in control. If we keep stretching our general fund, taxes will have to go up, but not with my vote.Just as a side note. How do we get 16 trillion dollars in debt? Free radios!Jim KnebelCouncilman 3rd Ward

This is so economical I first thought it would be a typo - probably that's why Canon will expand the ff route like their CEO recently said, more money to be made in the high-end enthusiast's segment. The only positive news for Canon: The d7100 will be sold out for months, so Canon will have some time to counter.

How to Buy Makeup Brushes:
- First - realize that you will need several brushes. You will need one, for instance, for powder, one for foundation, one for eye shadow. Dependable on its usage, each brush will be a different size
- Second - consider the bristle of your brushes. You can buy good quality synthetic brush fibers
- Third - test the bristles. Twirl the bristles on your inner wrist. Ask yourself, how the brush feels, soft or rough
- Fourth - spread the brush slightly to see how secure the bristles are, especially noting any stray bristles that have or look about to fall off
- Fifth - ask yourself how it feels to hold the brush. Does it fell awkward? Does it feel comfortable and natural?
- Sixth - inquire to whether the brush is hypoallergenic. This is especially important if you have sensitive skin
How to Clean Makeup Brushes:
- Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water
- Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather
- Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup
- Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush
- Allow it to air-dry
How to Care for Makeup Brushes:
- Dust or wipe off excess makeup left on your brushes after each use. Use a soft cloth or tissue and take care not to pull on the bristles too roughly. Build-up causes brushes to lose effectiveness and the bristles to break down
- Store your brushes in a case or bag to keep them dry and prevent dust build-up. Most brush kits come with a special case designed specifically for the brushes. If you don't have a kit, consider using an eyeglass case for storage
- Keep your brushes in a flat or upright position when storing to maintain their shape
- Clean makeup brushes regularly using a commercial cleaner or a combination of warm water and mild shampoo. Reshape the bristles after washing and lay flat to dry. Cleaning regularly inhibits bacteria growth and prevents bristle corrosion

An arrest was made after KCTV5 investigated the Missouri welfare system's failure to protect tax dollars.
Carmen Cash was booked Tuesday into the Audrain County jail and charged with three counts of stealing by deceit and three counts of forgery.
Court records back up what KCTV5 exposed in last October by reporting that Cash collected Missouri food stamp benefits for two children no longer in her care.
The daughters were living on a military base near Seattle, WA, with their father, David Brinegar, and his Army wife.
Brinegar, a former Missouri police officer, was having a difficult time finding a job in Washington State.
He decided to put his girls on public assistance as a temporary solution to their money problems.
A few months later, a letter from Washington's Department of Social and Health Services announced that aid was being cut off because someone in Missouri was already claiming food stamp benefits for his girls.
Brinegar says he repeatedly reported the fraud to Missouri without any response.
Within 24 hours of the KCTV5's investigation, the Seattle family took a call from a Missouri investigator.
Court records filed in Audrain County accuse Cash of fraudulently accepting $12,994.50 over 2 1/2 years for four children, none of which were in her care.
Of that total, $5,570.50 was allegedly taken on behalf of the daughters she had with Brinegar.
The questionable welfare fraud oversight exposed in the original KCTV5 investigation has already led to an audit of the Missouri Department of Social Services.
In January, State Auditor Tom Schweich announced the need to find out if other cases of welfare fraud were also going undetected.

After being struck in the left eye by a pitch by Boston Red Sox starter Alfredo Aceves in the second inning of Saturday night's game, Chicago Cubs outfielder Marlon Byrd has been taken to a local hospital for examination, according to the Chicago Cubs' official Twitter feed:
Marlon Byrd was taken to a local hospital for evaluation after being HBP below the left eye in the 2nd. He never lost consciousness.
Aceves' pitch was a high-riding fastball. As Byrd moved his head to attempt to avoid the pitch, the baseball struck flush the outside of his left eye socket.
That news that Byrd never lost consciousness is certainly good, but his overall health status is unknown at present. As he walked off the field under his own power, Byrd was assisted by trainers who put a towel over his eye, covering what appeared to be a bleeding cut. Byrd was replaced in the game by Reed Johnson.
For more on this developing story, follow along with Bleed Cubbie Blue and SB Nation Chicago.

We have established what we feel is the optimum operational style to produce the highest quality technology, which involves technical independence, collaborative working and highly skilled developers.
We have placed increased importance on Project Management in the way we work, not by hiring scores of project managers, but by absorbing the discipline into the day to day practises of every developer. Our developers are not only trained in project management, they have practical experience producing systems in multiple platforms and technologies.
On beginning a new engagement we will focus on the key business and technical success criteria that will shape the project plan. Project technologies are then chosen to fit. We believe it's crucial that our technology does not constrain the system as there are invariably legacy systems or management considerations that bear on the technologies decision, but is flexible and efficient. We have accordingly built capabilities that lean towards 'Agile' development methods and that stretch across multiple programming paradigms.
Most of the software we deliver we describe as 'interstitial' in that it sits between various elements of a system and is the glue which binds them together. We will typically create a customised implementation for a client which incorporates a number of elements integrated to form a cohesive system. The constituent applications will often require customisation, but the innovation in the solution is often found through our creative architectural approach and our integration skill.
If you like, our generalism is our specialism.

West Michigan Remembers Pearl Harbor
Today our country remembers the attack on Pearl Harbor 68 years ago.
Thousands were killed that day, and thousands still remain entombed inside the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor.
Today state leaders, veterans, and family and friends gathered at the US Marine Corps Reserve Center in Grand Rapids to pay tribute to those who were lost and to honor those who are still alive.
Only four Pearl Harbor survivors were at the gathering. The Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony has been going on here for 20 years, and at one time they had as many as 15 survivors.
Representatives from Debbie Stabinow, Carl Levin, Vern Ehlers, and Governor Granholm came to read statements. The Kent County Honor Guard was also there to play taps.
Bill Campbell, the event's organizer, said that this could be the last official gathering for the Pearl Harbor Society of Michigan. There are so few survivors left that, in a few years, Campbell anticipates they will have all empty seats where the survivors used to sit.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call
