Snow and frigid air are two rarities for the Las Vegas Valley, but both are included in the area's forecast this week.
A massive winter storm sweeping through the country, has blanketed some places with heavy snow. Behind that snow comes a blast of cold air sure to make Santa Claus feel right at home.
Part of that storm moved through southern Nevada on Tuesday, bringing blustery conditions and scattered showers. Some neighborhoods even saw a brief bit of snow or sleet late Tuesday night. That system moved east by early Wednesday morning, ushering in the bitter cold.
The National Weather Service issued a hard freeze warning for much of Clark County and the southern part of Nye County from 9 p.m. Wednesday until 9 a.m. Friday.
Forecasters said temperatures will plummet into the middle and upper 20s for many locations Wednesday night. They said those bone-chilling nights will stick around for at least the next seven days. The daytime will provide little relief from the deep freeze, as the mercury will struggle to reach the middle 40s for the foreseeable future. On average, the Las Vegas Valley sees high temperatures in the upper 50s for highs and lower 40s for lows.
Experts said people should take precautions now to protect outdoor plants and plumbing.
Saturday will bring the second atypical part of a Las Vegas forecast - snow. FOX5 Chief Meteorologist Ted Pretty said both rain and snow are expected across southern Nevada. He said snow levels will likely drop to low enough to include most Valley locations. He said major accumulations of snow are not likely.
The extended forecast keeps Las Vegas cold through Tuesday with temperatures in the middle 40s during the day and in the 30s at night.

Your toothbrush and a trip to the dentist could save your life. Periodontal or gum disease affects about 50 million Americans.
According to the American Academy of Periodontology, bad gums are linked with heart disease which is the number one killer of both men and women.
The next time you visit your dentist, don't be surprised if they also check your blood pressure.
Having an infection in your gums puts you at higher risk for suffering a heart attack.
If you don't want your follow-up visit to be at a cardiologist's office, you should consider getting serious about your dental care.
Your dentist may help prevent a heart attack by keeping a close eye on bacteria building up on, and under your gum line.
The gunk that collects on our teeth is scientifically known as biofilm. It's normal since your mouth is teeming with microorganisms, but harmful if gum disease allows bad bacteria to enter the bloodstream.
"You're very unaware you've got a problem until it becomes a big problem," warns Dr. Lori J. Pappert, a dentist in Charlotte, NC.
Periodontal or gum disease destroys bone and gum tissue, but that's just the root of the issue.
When dentists take a look at your smile, they are also shining a spotlight on the rest of your body because your gums are a reflection of your overall health.
When they see bleeding gums, smell an odor, or you're feeling sick, it's likely gum disease has already developed and caused serious damage.
"Periodontal disease is a huge problem," Pappert notes.
If you already have a heart condition and inflammation in your mouth spreads, doctors believe the risk of heart attack and stroke then rises.
That's the main reason why they want checkups to be routine because the prescription they prefer to write is for preventative care.
"Really, the only control you have is what you do every day," Pappert says.
Brushing twice a day and flossing, as well as replacing your toothbrush every few months and eating healthy foods, are your first defenses against preventing gum disease.
If you scimp on dental care, or skip altogether your regular scrubbing, Pappert says, "It's going to be more costly to both your health and your pocket book."
Even with insurance, periodontal surgery and dental implants aren't cheap compared to the cost of a toothbrush and regular dental visits. The latter are a much smaller investment of time and money in keeping a healthy mouth, and ultimately, a healthy heart.
Gum health is also particularly important for pregnant women. Doctors have found a correlation between gum disease and low birth weight.

As parents, we have all worried about lice. Just hearing the word makes you itchy and stressed. What parent doesn't dread getting that note sent home in the child's backpack that there have been cases of lice in the classroom?
With winter being a particularly active time for outbreaks, thanks primarily to extra clothing like hats and coats providing a convenient way for bugs to spread, we bring some tips to help you survive an outbreak without losing your mind.
Lice ( Pediculus capitis), tiny insects about the size of a sesame seed, are hardy creatures. They have been around since humans have been on this earth. Lice do not discriminate between male or female, if a person has more money or less money, young or old, clean or dirty. In fact, according to the Nit-Wits website, "lice thrive on clean hair." Lice need warm hosts to feed and reproduce. Lice are parasitic bugs that live only off the blood of humans and not on dogs or cats.
They are most often found in the hair (head lice), but there are also body lice. Lice move fast and tend to avoid light. In schoolchildren, lice are easily spread due to close contact. Adult lice can live on the human head for up to 30 days. It is important to check your school-age children regularly for lice as part of good grooming habits. As creepy and crawly as they are, they can be fought off.
A few years ago, I had a very unwanted crash course. I was lucky to find one lone louse on the top of my daughter's hair. I had been checking diligently due to a recent classroom outbreak when we became unwilling members of this unhappy club. We treated her that night and never found any nits. I also found a live louse the next morning on her booster seat. After that encounter I learned a few things:
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of lice infestation include:
- Intense itching.
- Tickling feeling from movement of hair.
- Lice on your scalp, body, clothing, or pubic or other body hair. Adult lice may be about the size of a sesame seed or slightly larger.
- Lice eggs (nits) on hair shafts. Nits resemble tiny pussy willow buds. Nits can be mistaken for dandruff, but unlike dandruff, they can't be easily brushed out of hair.
- Small, red bumps on the scalp, neck and shoulders.
The California Department of Public Health says that if you find lice on your child, you will need to treat him/her with a medicated lice shampoo that can be found at any drugstore. After treating the hair (and any other infected family members at the same time) they say you must comb through the child's hair to remove all nits. Nits are usually found close to the scalp, often behind ears and at the nape of the neck and are stuck to the hair.
A child cannot be allowed back into class with any nits. Most local school districts have a "no nits/lice" policy.
Notify the child's school, preschool, camp or day care provider so they can check your child's hair to be readmitted to class and send out an exposure notice to other students who may have been exposed. Re-treat the child based on the shampoo instructions and keep checking daily in very bright light for at least 10 days to ensure full eradication.
Besides treating the child and any other family members, it is very important to simultaneously wash all bedding, towels, jackets and laundry the infected child has had contact with.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend:
- Washing all of the items in a hot wash and dry.
- Vacuum the mattresses, rugs and cars.
- Items that cannot be washed in hot water, such as stuffed animals or hair accessories, should be bagged in an airtight bag for two weeks.
- Lice that have fallen off of the head do not last for very long without a host but, in theory, can be picked up after falling.
- All hair brushes and combs need to be boiled for 10 minutes.
Many resources are available to help you through a lice outbreak. Pediatricians can help you diagnose whether or not your child has lice. If the whole thing feels too daunting to take on alone, there are local lice treatment services around the East Bay.
- Nit-Wits (mobile treatment provider that services the East Bay)
- The Hair Angels (mobile treatment provider that services the East Bay)
- Nit Picky
The Internet has a lot of information and photos but be wary of the advice you follow. Not all the treatments online are considered safe or effective by a doctor's standards.
Lori Webb of Nit-Wits says they often see more lice infestations during baseball season due to the sharing of helmets.
Tips to avoid getting lice:
- Never share jackets, combs, brushes, hats, hair accessories, sports equipment like helmets or jerseys.
- Never play in another child's bedding during play dates.
- Check hair often and watch for signs of infections such as itching.

Big, bold pendants add oomph to long necklacesOctober 17, 2008 | Written by Dette on Jewelry Design Tips | 1 Comment |
The creative use of traditional materials -organic fiber and wood beads among many- has spurred the "green" trend in jewelry making this year. More and more designers are turning to "eco-friendly" materials and processes to create their jewelry. This has given birth to a contemporary "fusion" style that combines classic, tribal ethnic, and "techie" aesthetics.
Here are some of the prevailing trends in beaded jewelry for this fall-winter season…
- Deep, warm, and earthy colors in natural materials —the artistic use of "organic" materials with their natural grains and textures has glamorized the "green" concept in jewelry. Wood, bone, horn, gemstones, pearls, seeds and nuts among others are rich sources of warm and earthy colors.
- Big statement pendants in long necklaces —from classic to contemporary designs, long necklaces are seen with bigger, bolder pendants for that "stand-out" look in any occasion this fall and winter. Work out your statement pendants with simple necklines and let the necklace speak for itself —perfect wear on solid color dresses.

BOSTON (AP) -- Chase Rettig made his collegiate debut against Notre Dame.
This time he's hoping to finish the job.
Rettig was promoted to starter for Boston College's nationally televised game against the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started with three straight three-and-outs to fall behind 21-0 before connecting on a 58-yard touchdown pass at the end of the first quarter.
But on the Eagles' first possession of the second, he was blindsided in the pocket and left with a sprained ankle.
Now Rettig is hoping that he can lead BC to victory over unbeaten and No. 4 Notre Dame in another Saturday night game.

Estate Settlement
The process of settling a trust or estate can be difficult, time consuming and a daunting task for most, especially during a period of great personal loss. Quite often, a family member or friend are named as executor or trustee and have no understanding of the duties and legal responsibilities. At Marquette, we offer the advantages of experience, knowledge of tax law, investment expertise and trust administration expertise. Unlike an individual executor or trustee, we will never move away or have personal demands that conflict with fulfilling our responsibilities.
Marquette can step in as the executor or successor trustee and fulfill all of the duties and legal responsibilities of the executor or successor trustee, relieving the individual of all responsibility and liability. We can also act as agent for the trustee or executor providing all or some of the duties for the individual trustee or executor allowing the individual to remain in control, if desired.
For more information, contact John Power, CPA, CFP® at 708.460.4854 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Trust & Investment Management Division of Marquette Bank is committed to meeting your financial goals and will work as a team with you to develop and design a sound financial plan for your future and the future of those important to you. As our client, you can be assured that your affairs are being handled by a strong institution dedicated to providing the highest quality of personal service.

Boston Travel Tips
Boston Rentals for New England Adventures
It is possible to explore New England on a budget, and Boston, Massachusetts offers plenty of rich cultural and historical influences the entire family will enjoy. Boston rentals are centrally located to many of the major sights in town, as well as surrounding waters and suburbs for a wide range in day trips during your stay.
Reserve Boston Rentals and Tour Boston University
Any Boston vacation should include at least a quick visit to the gorgeous campus of Boston University. The entire family will also enjoy a night at the Coit Observatory, searching for their favorite constellations. This activity is sometimes free of charge throughout the warmer seasons, but check for clear skies before venturing out from your Boston vacation rentals.
Historical Monuments and Attractions for Any Boston Vacation
Boston rentals allow everyone a free history lesson and the chance to visit locations previously only seen in books. During your Boston vacation, spend an afternoon climbing the 294 steps of the Bunker Hill Monument, or show the kids the Old North Church and tell the story of Paul Revere.
A free self-guided tour of the Freedom Trail will take you by nearly every important site downtown. You can end your day by visiting the Harvard Book Store or strolling down Newbury Street for modern shopping and dining before returning to your Boston vacation rentals.
Tour Breweries and Cellars near Boston Vacation Rentals
Boston rentals are located near the Sam Adams Brewery, which offers tours of the facilities and taste tests to visitors. The Harpoon Brewery may also be an important stop on your Boston vacation, but check for days and times to schedule your personal tour.
If beer doesn't quite tickle your fancy, stop in at Best Cellars, the largest wine retailer located downtown and within a short distance to Boston vacation rentals. On specific nights of the week, you'll be able to not only shop for your new favorite bottle of wine, but taste a wide variety of new blends.

Download the PDF (210K) OOChart from past issues
Does good news for temporary workers today suggest better news for all nonfarm workers tomorrow? Data on temporary help services employment from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) suggests that it does. These data—often viewed as an indicator of broad future employment trends—have been climbing steadily for much of the past year.
In times of economic uncertainty, firms are often hesitant to hire or fire permanent employees. Many businesses, therefore, first respond to changing demand for their goods or services in other ways. One method is to alter the length of the workweek of current employees. Another method, shown in the chart, is to increase or decrease the use of temporary workers.
Temporary help service companies provide temporary workers (also called temp workers, or temps) to their clients, usually as a supplement to the client's permanent workforce. Temp workers are employees of the temporary help supplier and have no permanent relationship with the client. This flexible arrangement allows the client to quickly add or subtract workers in response to changing business conditions. At economic turning points, many businesses tend to increase or decrease their use of temps before they hire or terminate permanent employees. Thus, employment in the temporary help industry tends to lead total nonfarm employment, a measure used by economists to determine the economic health of a nation.
In recent cycles, as the chart shows, job losses in temporary employment began more than a year before those in total nonfarm employment. The lag during recoveries, however, has been much shorter, with gains in total nonfarm employment beginning just 3 or 4 months after those in the temp industry.
These data are from the Current Employment Statistics Survey. For more information, call (202) 691-6555 or visit online at www.bls.gov/ces.

- Excellent!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/28/2014Went here with a party of 8. We were celebrating 3 birthdays. The food and service was excellent! They even brought out a very nice plate of cannoli's as a birthday treat the family was able to share. Thanks Angelo for making our family celebration special :-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant enoughOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014We were visiting Temecula for the day and chose this restaurant because of the reviews. We weren't disappointed but weren't terribly impressed either. Food and ambience were acceptable. Service was good. I had the Minestrone as an appetizer which proved to be the best dish of the evening. I had the Veal Marsala which was cooked just right but the seasoning was a bit off. Spaghetti Carbonara was "okay" if a bit dry.Special Features:
- Fine ItalianTonysLasVegasDined on 8/24/2014The food was great and the price was reasonable considering the quality and service. We went on a busy night, Saturday, and the service, all thought busy, was still attentive. A real quality job!Special Features:
- Excellent EveningNomNomNomDined on 8/21/2014We booked dinner as a celebration for a "Roast" and it was exceptional. Angelo was particularly helpful with all aspects of the reservation and setup. From technical instrumentation to dessert, Gourmet Italia delivered. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was just what we requested. Definately an A+ evening. Thank you Alex and Angelo.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Italian EVEROpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014I love delicious food, awesome service, and a perfect ambiance to match. Gourmet Italia is absolutely thee best find in CA. It rivals and even surpasses many five-star resteraunts I've dined at. The pasta is divine. The steak is so flavorful... Their veal chops are heaven! You can dress up to make your experience completely upscale or you can dress a little bit more casual to be comfortable. It doesn't matter, the staff is very warm and inviting. The owner becomes a friend. They have their own wines, herbs, and olive oil that all come from his property.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great treat after wine tastingCokpeatsDined on 8/17/2014We had a delightful time after wine tasting in Temecula. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. All of our entrees were superbly prepared. Would recommend to friendsSpecial Features:
- RosinaVIPDined on 8/14/2014I'm from NY and Italian. That being said, this was the first Italian restaurant that I've tried since moving to CA. I was most pleasantly surprised and almost felt like I was in a NYC eatery. Will definitely be coming back.Special Features:

- Great Italian FoodSusieQDined on 7/27/2014Was in the Temecula area for one night for GF wine tasting weekend. I have been here two other times and food is excellent and wanted to bring my GF's. I made a reservation through Open Table and was seated right away which we appreciated but, was seated two tables from the front door which felt like we were in a fish bowl...everyone passing by including wait staff, too busy of a table to sit and enjoy our meal even though once again our meal was delicious. Our waiter, Giuseppe was attentive which of course helped with our situation. Recommendation: Don't sit so close to the front door, ask to be seated elsewhere. Overall the food and service was good, we enjoyed our evening.Special Features:
- What a great PlacerneugeDined on 7/19/2014The Best in Temecula....The watermelon salad, pasta and service including wine was a hit.Special Features:
- Gail62VIPDined on 7/13/2014This was our second time here and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. The eggplant appetizer was great and my husband had the salmon with bow ties. He loved it. Can't wait to go backSpecial Features:
- Too priceyluv2trynewspotsDined on 7/11/2014Very overpriced. Never spent over $100 before for an Italian meal for 2 people. Soup or salad should be included with dinner like most other restaurants. $10 for an average bean soup not worth it. Entre was ok (veal parmigiana) but not worth $22. Asked for 2 desserts to go (cheesecake), and portion was very small for price of $7 each. Did enjoy the calamares and bread basket. Don't plan on returning.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/10/2014My wife & I had a great time. I had a creative salad that was really great.Special Features:
- What a CelebrationJustMarriedDined on 7/8/2014Upon discovering that wineries in Temecula are closed for dinner on Tuesday night, I came across the restaurant on Yelp! Having been married for just two days, my new husband and I really wanted a place to celebrate. Wow are we lucky we chose Gourmet Italia!! Upon arriving they asked us what we were celebrating, when we told them our marriage, they gave us the best table in the house, and brought us complimentary champagne. From the perfect romantic ambiance, to the delicious food, to the gracious and accomodating staff Gourmet Italia could not have made our night more memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great PlaceDeliciousItalianDined on 7/5/2014Walked in and the owner greeted us and walked us to our table. We had someone in a wheelchair with us which I mentioned when i made my reservation online and they had a great table with a open space for my friend in the wheelchair. The owner gladly made us feel comfortable and even offered to push her. Then our waiter came and she was very friendly. She told us the specials and made each special sound so delicious! The environment there was very romantic, they had candles everywhere and a live jazz band. Once our food arrived we all tried each others food (the portions were a good size) and loved all of them! Remember to make a reservation if going on the weekends! I got a free delicious dessert for my bday A+!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The right placegoodfoodieDined on 6/22/2014Gourmet Italia is a favorite of ours - that quaint little "hole in the wall" everyone's looking for - and we chose to introduce our new neighbors/friends to their incredible menu just before seeing Bill Medley perform in town. Our friends have been around the world and particularly love Italian food, so I knew Gourmet Italia would be perfect. The food was amazing, every dish was devoured. And the penne arribiatta (with muscles) that I had in place of my usual Lobster Ravioli (ran out) was out of the park. Ding, ding, ding! Another winner! Thank you Gourmet Italia!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our FavoritesyummygoodnessDined on 6/19/2014My wife and I truly love this restaurant. It has been our date night spot for many years. We don't live in Temecula but when we return to visit it is a must for us. Thank you for creating a great atmosphere and delicious food :-)Special Features:

Surely will be back when in and around Temecula!Special Features:

- Delicious FoodGail62VIPDined on 6/8/2014Had eaten at their pizzeria a few months back and decided to go for a real Italian meal. We were not disappointed. My husband had the Cioppino and I had Pasta Norma (Pasta with eggplant) Both were fabulous. My husband loved the clams, mussels and calimari. Can't wait to go back. Ask for Marial, she was wonderful and so knowledgable about the specialsSpecial Features:
- Great night outOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/25/2014Huge portions. Way too much food. Price was fine, but I felt like I was wasting food. We were on vacay so couldn't do leftovers.Special Features:
- GoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/18/2014Everything was good except even with a reservation we had to wait and didn't get a table next to the live music like we requested. Other than that everything was great.Special Features:
- Great Italian FoodMaryVIPDined on 5/18/2014We've been to this restaurant numerous times and there are reasons why. The food is very good (although I'd warn about Sunday night -- they ran out of shellfish so no seafood pasta). We love the staff -- pretty much all Italian. They give good service and the owner is very funny. They did give us a poor table next to a post so we asked to be moved but, otherwise, it was great and we've loved it in the past.Special Features:
- Ambiance!!PaisanosfromDeLuzDined on 5/11/2014The food is delicious and very fresh. The staff are great!Special Features:
- Disappointing StaffFamilyManDined on 5/11/2014This wasn't our first time at Gourmet Italia, but it was sure our worst! Now, it was a very busy night (at 5:30!), so I can't really blame Alex for canceling our reservation after we were (a mere) 10 minutes late, because we did get seated right away anyway. But that doesn't excuse him from being visibly annoyed that our party of four was two adults and two kids, or seating us all at a cramped and uncomfortable corner table for two. The service was poor. Our server brought me the wrong salad, then disappeared before I could say anything. Then it was a half-hour before our entrees arrived, during which time she never checked in on us.

- Excellent Mothers DaysavagejimVIPDined on 5/11/2014Great server, young Italian guy. Seated by the owner. Great wine list, excellent bruschetta appetizer, could have just ordered a couple more orders of it and called it a day. I had the Lobster Ravioli, was excellent, my wife has the Chicken Parmigiana and our only complaint is that is was pretty bland, hoping that was due to a busy Mothers Day, but overall the experience was great, will definitely go back.Special Features:

- Amazing doesn't begin to describe!GroomsmomDined on 5/8/2014We choose "gourmet italia" for our sons rehearsal dinner because it could accommodate a large group....we were from out if town and had no idea what was in store for us.... The rehearsal went long and we were an hour late...the restaruant went above and beyond go make our night special and memorable ... I can not thank the owner enough!

- Fabulous as alwaysThinkJuddDined on 5/8/2014Gourmet Italian is the best Italian restaurant in town...and may be the best this side of San Diego. Alex (the owner) and proud host has staffed this intimate gem with fellow Sicilians who love life as much as they love food. The food itself is always great and sometimes unbelievable. Their rack of wild boar or veal clop in blue cheese crust are to die for. The wine list features some good local wines including great wines made by Alex. The service is always perfect, Angelo and Nora as superstars. The restaurant is rightly popular so you will want to book ahead on the weekend. It often features very good live jazz, which can be a little loud for such an intimate spot. If you haven't already discovered this local gem you must try this place.Special Features:

- almost perfectlovelygem10Dined on 5/3/2014We all had a very nice experience at gormet italia. The only thing we were unhappy about was one of the guys that works there, owner? Manager? Was very rude when we first appeared there. We thought the rest of the night was going to be like that. We had reservations at 7 and we're not seated until 15 minutes after. There was no front desk where we could check in and tell them that were were there for our reservation so we walked in. The guy rudely told us to go outside, which was fine. But we would just like to be told kindly and feel more welcome. Other than that, our experience was pleasent. Our waiter was fantastic, and the food was great. Better than olive garden in our books.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Experienced and deeply talented at the skill positions, the Dracut Middies Pop Warner C Football Team reinforced their presence as a Merrimack Valley League contender with a resounding 26-0 win over Lowell in a scrappy and highly confrontational contest. The Middies' balanced offense ran the ball effectively, picking up almost 300 yards rushing with 10 players gaining positive yardage as they improved their record to 3-1.
The Middies' defense started the game off strong and forced the Red Raiders to turn the ball over on downs. With the strong offensive line play of Christian Frazier, Anton Mao, Steve Lamontagne, Robby Sparks and Jacob Beaulieu, the Middies moved downfield with some nice running by Nemisis Lopez, Trevor Lupien, Lincoln Lessard before Joey Petka (fumble recovery) scored on a 4 yard run up the middle. With the extra point good, the Middies led 7-0.
Once again the Dracut defense forced Lowell to turn the ball over as interior linemen Kevin Carney, Jarred Lash, Devin Farrell and William Peters (forced fumble) were in the backfield all game terrorizing the Red Raiders backs. With Jeremy Gray seemingly completely relaxed under center, the Middies took a 14-0 lead going into halftime after his quarterback sneak. The long drive was capped off with some outstanding blocks by Josh Hastie, Robby Sparks, Trevor Usher and birthday boy Trevor Anstiss.
Dracut took the third-quarter kickoff and scored early to make the score 20-0 on the quick playmaking ability of Aise Pream's (185 rushing yards) 50-yard outside sweep. After a muffed kickoff, Jose Torrado, Mike Pilato and Zeke Haradji continued to excel on defense allowing the Dracut offense to get the ball back Dracut moved downfield again with some good runs by Ryan Verdi, Andrew Melanson and a nice catch by Nik Carter. Aise Pream put an exclamation point on the game by busting three tackles and speeding into the end zone on a 36-yard touchdown for the final 26-0 result. This shutout victory is a quick reminder that the Middies program is still one to look out for.
The Dracut Blue D team won shut out Lowell, 26-0, as Matt Rossetti rushed for two touchdowns and two extra points, Lucas Ibarguen rushed for a touchdown, Ian Nicholas rushed for a touchdown and Jakob Rivers caught a 15 yard pass, Sloan Carter and Peter Sawyer rushed for positive yardage against a tough Lowell defense. Jared O'Connell, James Cusenza and Jamie Jusseaume all made key blocks to help Dracut march down the field.
Defense stayed strong all day, with help from linebackers Denis Bourassa and Anthony Marquez, while Joe Santos, Stephan Pinto, Luke Davey, Brandon Hudon and Carmelo Ortiz kept Lowell out of the end zone.
The Dracut Tiny Mites met their Billerica 2 counterparts this past weekend in hard-fought, competitive game where both teams gave it everything they had. Offensively, the Tiny Mites were paced by two touchdown runs apiece by Dylan Eld and Michael Marchionda, while Zachary Campbell and Jacob Ventura added the well balanced running attack.
Billerica continually ran into the Middies defensive version of six blocks of granite, led by Michael Giron and Breadyn Hiltz along with Nathan Rogers and Michael Desmarais. The Tiny Mites look to continue their stellar play Saturday against Brookline/Jamaica Plain.

All social media sites try to get you to speed up information, just forward articles, give a smart quick comment etc.
In this space we wish to Slow down Knowledge, because we believe, as Samdong Rinpoche what you get is data, which you need to contemplate, relate to your universe of beliefs, and act on it for it to become knowledge.
All knowledge is slow.. In this space we wish to take this process slower .. share, collaborate, and jointly co-critique ideas. So instead of just forwarding any interesting article, or book that you read, we want you to share your annotation, notes, so that others can get the benefit of your read, perspective and react to it. This will also motivate those among us who are not able to read as much, read.
We begin by offering our notes and drafts in the Long & Winding Road project, even as it is being researched in a spirit of collaboration and public domain.

Economic Localising is Politics against Globalisation - EOH III Bangalore- March 2014
Localisation is not only about going back to traditional structure. There is this new movement emerging particularly in the industrialised world consciously, shortening the distance between production and consumption. These shorter distances, bring with them a multitude of benefits.
Structurally, in the local food movement, when a farmer sells to a market closer to home, the economic pressure is to diversify, to produce more than just one mono-crop. Such practices do not lead to this drone-line global economy, where we cant see who we are killing, or what we are poisoning, what we are polluting. The shorter distances are necessary to rebuild ecological sustainability - fundamentally ecological to have more localised economy. It is also about rebuilding, that experience of interdependence, that is fundamental to all spiritual teachings.
We really are talking about this urgent need for real decentralisation of power. -- Helena Norberg-Hodge, Opening remarks at the third Economics of Happiness Conference held at Bangalore March 14-16, 2014, For Full text of Helena's click read more below...

Notes on Work, Workers and Workers Organisations
The nation is halfway through the elections to the parliament and most parties have ignored the legitimate concerns of labour, except to chorus the need for `labour reforms' or `flexible labour markets'. It is time to remember the on going struggle of the workers at Maruti's `fastest car producing facility in the world at Manesar for their right to organise and strive for human working conditions and just wages'.
May Day ...
It is a call sign of distress. I remember Labour Day when we were kids. I remember feeling a sense of pride at my father been part of the labour force which was seen as the main contributor to building the Nehruvian India.. an Industrial india etc.
Today in the midst of elections, the mood has changed. Even though many agree the the manufacturing sector would need to be encouraged if the so called GDP growth based on services, financial sector and real estate valuations has to be sustained, there is a fear that labour will ask to be given its rightful value in the scheme of things.
Our recent CC, Remembering Manesar and the ongoing labour tensions (unreported at other highly mechanised modern ) tell us that even in the buoyant automotive industry, and the value of the "riveter" ( remember the film rosie the riveter?), who perhaps provides higher "surplus value" than other toiling counterparts, the situation is desperate, with capital being more rapacious.

At this rate, the 2012/2013 offseason is going to consist solely of Russell Branyan in a hot tub, hanging back and waiting the agents to come to him. Erick Aybar was likely going to be the best shortstop on the market, but it looks like the Los Angeles Angels are going to lock him up. From Jerry Crasnick:
The Los Angeles Angels are close to agreement on a multiyear contract extension with shortstop Erick Aybar, a baseball source told ESPN.com. The deal could be announced as soon as Thursday, when Aybar is scheduled to receive his 2011 American League Gold Glove Award before the Angels' game against Oakland in Anaheim...
The Angels reportedly are interested in signing Aybar to a contract similar in scope to (Howie) Kendrick's (four-year, $33.5 million).
The salient point there is "Gold Glove", as the the 28-year-old Aybar is known for his defense, mostly, though his offense stats -- .279/.322/.421 in 2011 and .274/.317/.377 for his career -- are more than acceptable for a player who fields as well as Aybar.
Though there is some debate about his glove. From The Fielding Bible, Vol. III:
He did win the 2011 Gold Glove Award thanks to his flashy and athletic play, but according to the Runs Saved system, this was a down-year defensively for Aybar, and even in his best defensive seasons, he has not played at an award-winning level.
But the Angels' other option was to fight other teams for Stephen Drew (who still isn't back from a serious injury) or ask Branyan if he'd sign or consider a move to short. Maybe if the Mark Trumbo experiment worked, they could have been even more creative. As is, though, they're probably thrilled to have Aybar around for a while.

vacation rental description
This dramatic custom home, located 10 miles south of Sunriver, 7 miles North of La Pine, was designed and built by a doctor as his
dream retirement retreat. The east-facing wall toward Mt. Newberry
and the Little Deschutes River is all windows - 16 feet high and 60
feet across! - giving you exceptional views and lots of wonderful
light inside the home.
The home features two large bedroom suites with vaulted ceilings,
each having its own full bathroom. One bedroom has a King bed and
the other has a Queen and Twin Bunks. It is ideal for couples or a
family with children. The secluded setting makes the home very
popular for honeymoons.
There are no adjoining homes to spoil the feeling of peaceful
privacy in the home or when you are in the hot tub on the view
deck. A great variety of wildlife - deer, otter, beaver, eagles,
hawks, quail, and jumping trout can often be viewed from the home
(field glasses provided).
Riverfront is situated on a three-acre wooded site and has over 900
feet of private river frontage. The Little Deschutes is a crystal
clear trout river, with good numbers of wary Browns and Rainbow
trout. Current largest catch, 22 inch German Brown.
Inside, the home has been furnished for maximum enjoyment, with such
items as a big flat-screen TV,a DVD and VHS player,
glassfront wood stove, and a massaging leather recliner in
the living room.
Both bedrooms have large TV's and goosedown comforters on thick
pillowtop mattresses. The open-design kitchen features a Jenn-Air
range and large workstation island, plus a great assortment of
utensils and spices.
A separate game room has a tournament-quality pool table, foosball
table, exercise equipment, and a real slot machine (takes provided
tokens). There are also dozens of movies, hardcover novels, and
music CD's provided for your enjoyment.
And just two steps out the back door is that big hot tub on the view
deck. One of the greatest pleasures in the world is slipping into
that warm water on a clear night and looking up at the millions of
stars that can be seen here at our higher altitude.
This part of Oregon is in the "rain shadow" of the Cascades, with
300 days of sunshine a year and a very comfortable cool dry climate
during the summer months. Golf and other outdoor activities can be
enjoyed in non-sweaty comfort.
Nearby are several world-class golf courses, Mt. Bachelor (used by
Olympic ski teams for training), countless pristine mountain lakes,
wilderness hiking/biking trails, volcanic attractions, and scenic
drives. There are so many things to do here - no boredom!
We also provide free rubber rafts and tubes - you can put in at
various places upriver and float back down to the dock in our back
yard. On a warm summer day, this is great relaxing fun for both
adults and kids.
It is an easy 10-minute drive to either Sunriver Resort or to the
town of La Pine for groceries. Bend with its many fine restaurants
and major shopping malls is only 20 minutes away.
We know that many of you like to bring along the "other member of
the family" on vacations, so we allow quiet, housebroken pets.
There is a large dog run and acres of places begging to be sniffed,
a river to swim in, and squirrels in need of exercise. We just ask
that pets be kept off the furniture and that you pick up after them
You may now pay with a credit card through the secure PayPal service.

COPPELL –– Texas Department of Transportation crews were again spread across North Texas on Tuesday removing remaining ice from roadways and bridges.
The primary targets of the morning's efforts were around the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and the freeways that make up the DFW Connector Project in Denton and Tarrant counties. Both of these saw some of the region's largest ice accumulations during Winter Storm Cleon.
News 8 spotted crews using three motor graders along northbound Texas State Highway 121 and the Interstate 635 interchange. The machines shave down layers of ice before TxDOT crews follow up with salt and sand to treat any remaining ice.
"Based on the predictions, we were prepared. We were actually over-prepared," said TxDOT spokeswoman Jodi Hodges. "We had enough material for a multi-day event. We never ran out of material. So, overall, I'd say we had an 'A.'"
Meanwhile, motorists in Tarrant County describe long delays to their commute. Steve Saldana estimated that he would be on the road three hours for a trip that usually takes just one. Despite the delay,
"I think they've handled it as good as you can do for a state that isn't used to this kind of weather," Saldana said.
Driver Joel Ponce had the opposite opinion, saying, "I don't think they've done enough on the bridges.
During interview on News 8 Daybreak, Hodges said the department was caught off guard by the amount of precipitation that fell over North Texas. Hodges said there were also efforts to pre-treat the roads. When the ice became worse than even what was predicted by the National Weather Service, TxDOT called in crews from as far as Corpus Christi and Amarillo.
"It was actually very much more widespread than North Texas, it went from El Paso to Texarkana, about 850 miles," Hodges said. "We did put all of our equipment and manpower that we could throughout the state on this event."
The state dispatched 1,700 employees and 1,100 pieces of equipment to help clear the roads and aid stranded passengers. The Department of Public Safety had emergency operation centers open and the Red Cross was prepared to deploy if needed, Hodges said.
Still, some drivers reported being stranded for dozens of hours on top of cobblestone ice. Hodges defended TxDOT's efforts, saying that crews did as much as possible to keep the state's roads safe and clear.
"I believe we've been very flexible in moving equipment and materials and manpower to North Texas to improve these conditions as soon as possible," Hodges said. "It's taken our crews 30 minutes to an hour per bridge deck to scrape and hammer that ice away. It's hit really hard and it's taken a lot of individual efforts to get those bridges clear."
By comparison, a northern state such as Minnesota says it has sufficient winter equipment and personnel to respond to all conditions without shifting equipment. But here, where severe winter events are rare, TxDOT's mission is different.
"TxDOT's goal is to put as much money to the pavement as possible," Hodges said.
A spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Transportation said it sets the bar for success by conducting market research to understand how quickly the public expects roads to be cleared. A TxDOT spokesperson in Austin was not immediately aware if the agency conducts similar research.
But TxDOT did point to its Facebook page to show us how a large number of comments giving them a thumbs up for the job they did.
