RUMFORD — Faith in God works to a point for Monsignor Daniel P. Beegan of Pine Street.
But when it comes to security, the padre packs a pistol.
Beegan, a nontraditional priest who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, draws the line at carrying his Kel-Tec .380-caliber automatic handgun into a bar.
"I consider myself as a sheepdog on guard against the wolves," he said Tuesday.
For him, being a gun-toting priest isn't awkward.
"The Bible gives very ample justifications for self-defense, defense of family, defense of plot," he said.
An avid deer hunter and firearms enthusiast as a youth in Vermont, Beegan said he now enjoys shooting guns at Dixfield's Webb River Sportsmen's Club, where he is a member.
"There's an old New England saying, 'God helps those who help themselves,' for one thing, and I think that carrying a firearm is an example of that," he said.
He said he carries a handgun openly in the woods to ward off coyotes while walking Maeve Dog — his 5-year-old Newfoundland, named after a Celtic war queen — Beegan said he occasionally carries a concealed weapon.
"I am very discreet," he said. "I also obey the law and do not carry in federal buildings, schools, barrooms or other places where such carry is either forbidden, or, in the case of a gin joint, just plain stupid."
Beegan isn't affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. He became a priest after retiring from a 35-year career with The Associated Press. He and his living-room "church" are considered independent.
Curiosity, and his long-term disability from back and other health problems, led him into the priesthood.
"I went to the University of Vermont for college, finishing up with an online college, and then spent about five years studying for the priesthood," he said.
His degree is in pastoral psychology.
Ordained as a deacon in October 2005, he said he was ordained on Jan. 8, 2006, as a priest of the Charismatic Church by Patriarch Michal I, aka Archbishop J. Paul A. Boucher, of Holy Catholic Charismatic Church of Berlin, N.H.
He is now under the jurisdiction of Bishop Heyward Ewart of St. James The Elder Seminary in Jacksonville, Fla., and through Ewart, of Metropolitan Archbishop Joel Clemente of the Philippines.
On Feb. 16, the self-proclaimed 30-year student of religion was promoted through the Holy Catholic Charismatic Church of Jacksonville as "the reverend monsignor."
Father Beegan calls his own church St. Brendan's Catholic Charismatic Oratory but has no parishioners.
A framed certificate he removed from a living room wall near his church altar — behind which were stacked many boxes of freeze-dried food — states that Beegan is "a Priest of God" who "has been granted full Sacerdotal Faculties to administer the Sacraments of the Church."
"I'm Father Superior of the Interdenominational Order of St. Barnabas," Beegan said. "It was a rather quick rise, but purely job-related. Really, it gives me nothing except some command authority. It's sort of the equivalent of being a top sergeant or a master chief petty officer."
Since becoming a priest, Beegan said that through the Internet, he counsels people like himself who are in chronic pain, acting more as a life coach than a counselor.
"I do pastoral counseling, what any priest would do," he said. "I am not a mental health counselor. I don't recommend medications or anything like that. I pray for people who are in pain and ask them to pray for me. But never is prayer a substitute for good science-based medicine."
Counseling is what eventually led Beegan to carry a concealed weapon.
"I was being stalked by a female back in 2007," he said. "I met her through counseling, and then she turned into a stalker."
The counseling-gone-bad session with an unidentified Texas woman ended his telephone counseling work. That's also when he took Scott Blaisdell's concealed-weapon course through the Dixfield sportsmen's club, qualifying with his wife's Smith and Wesson .38-caliber Special revolver.
"And then I discovered Kel-Tecs," Beegan said. "They're a small, lightweight (palm-fit); sort of the poor man's Glock, but they're reliable."
He acknowledged that the gun is under-powered for self-defense, but he has carried it concealed in Lewiston and would consider doing the same in certain areas of Rumford.
As for the freeze-dried food stacked beside his altar, he said he only uses it when he can't find inexpensive meat.
"I'm a bit of a survivalist, but not one of the wacky ones," he said. "I'm a believer in being prepared."

Vikings-Cowboys matchup of the day: Friday
Here's a look at another key matchup in Sunday's Cowboys-Vikings game.
Spencer: Cowboys not far away defensively
The Cowboys' defense was playing at an exceptionally high level late last season prior to the playoff loss to the Vikings, and OLB Anthony Spencer told PFW he thinks the team can follow a similar path this time around.
Cowboys elevate Holly to 53-man roster
The Cowboys signed WR Jesse Holly from their practice squad on Friday and released OT Robert Brewster.
Vikings-Cowboys matchup of the day: Thursday
Here's a look at another key matchup in Sunday's Cowboys-Vikings game.
Cowboys sign OT Parnell
The Cowboys signed OT Jermey Parnell from the Saints' practice squad on Thursday.
They said it: Vikings edition
Here's a sampling of things heard this week by Vikings and Cowboys players and coaches.
Favre would consider sitting to rest elbow
Vikings QB Brett Favre said Wednesday he would consider resting his sore elbow and sitting out games.
Vikings' 60-second rant: Loser goes home Sunday
Sobering news for the loser of Cowboys-Vikings: Since the NFL expanded the playoffs to 12 teams in 1990, there have been only five clubs that have started 1-4 and made the postseason.
America loves 'America's Team'
A new poll reports that for the fourth year in a row, the Cowboys have been voted as the most popular NFL team.
Cowboys' problems run deeper than simple mistakes
It would be easy to write off the Cowboys' 1-3 start as a result of a lack of discipline, but Dallas also is suffering through some poor play by players who were thought to be key pieces.
Jones wrestles away lead in Cowboys backfield
In quite possibly the league's most erratic backfield situation, Felix Jones has regained the lead for carries in Dallas.
Titans continue NFC dominance in 34-27 win vs. Cowboys
A pair of costly Cowboys mistakes led the Titans to a 34-27 win in Dallas.
Cowboys' Buehler still must improve kickoffs
Although he led the NFL in touchbacks on kickoffs last season, Cowboys PK David Buehler is struggling this year, according to NFC East Whispers.
Cowboys' run defense comes into focus
The Cowboys spent the bye week working on consistent tackling and maintaining gap responsibility, which was a problem on what amounted to three big runs in the last game.
Armstrong has been released by the Miami Dolphins after making only three catches for 12 yards in the season's first seven games.||||||| Armstrong was overtaken on the depth chart by veteran newcomer Jabar Gaffney, who played for the first time Sunday in a win over the New York Jets and had a 30-yard reception. Armstrong had 44 catches for 871 yards with the Washington Redskins in 2010, but only seven receptions for them last season.
Receiver Anthony Armstrong, two defensive backs and a linebacker have been awarded to the Miami Dolphins off waivers.||||||| Armstrong, an undrafted free agent out of college, spent the 2008 season on the Dolphins' practice squad. He had 44 catches for 871 yards for the Washington Redskins in 2010 and made seven receptions for them last season.
Armstrong only had one catch in Sunday's 23-17 win over Seattle, but it was a big one. He hauled in a 50-yard pass in the corner of the end zone to give Washington a 20-17 lead with 6:18 remaining.||||||| It was Armstrong's first catch since Week 7 at Carolina and his sixth of the season.
Armstrong was limited in practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury.||||||| His status for Sunday is in doubt. Primarily used in deep threats, Armstrong has four catches for 38 yards and one touchdown.
Armstrong caught two passes for 84 yards and a score in Washington's 17-14 loss to the Giants on Sunday.||||||| Armstrong was a fantasy surprise with 871 yards and three scores.

League evaluators told PFW Brian Urlacher looked more spry in 2011 than he did in '10, but the knee injury he suffered in Week 17 last season, which led to multiple offseason surgeries, has clearly taken a toll on the 34-year-old.
Scouts say Urlacher's elite instincts are as strong as ever and are serving him well as he deals with physical limitations, but the 13th-year veteran has acknowledged that his knee does not feel right and it has shown in his play.
He's not beating players to the point as frequently as he did in prior years and is on pace for 64 tackles, which would be the fewest he has had in a season in which he played nine games or more (he suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week One of the 2009 season).
Urlacher said in a recent interview he has no doubt he will be an impact player again, but Chicago's defense has dominated at times and played opportunistically despite Urlacher's limitations (he has not been credited with forcing any of the team's 17 takeaways).
The knee has not kept Urlacher off the field much through five games. Since playing a season-low 44 percent of the snaps in the season opener, he has had a full workload. He did not miss a defensive snap in Weeks Two and Three, played all but 11 snaps in Week Four and all but 10 snaps in Chicago's blowout win over the Jaguars in Week Five.

Cold weather gets luke-warm welcomeBy Anders Ax
Staff Report | January 03,2013Although Thursday was an exceptionally cold day, with a high of only 10 degrees and a low of negative eight, many were able to beat the chill.
Kellsey Oakes of Sheldon stopped into Sundaze Tanning Salon for a few minutes of warmth.
"I definitely come when it's most cold," Oakes said.
When Oakes stepped outside, she said the cold "took my breath away. It's insane. I need to move out of Vermont," she added laughing.
Tammy Errington, owner of Sundaze, said that she's had women show up on their half-hour lunch breaks just to warm up.
"This morning I've been swamped," Errington said.
Errington said that recently, simply because it's winter, business has picked up. But people have also been showing up more often to get a dose of vitamin D from the sun that's been behind the clouds.
"For everyone, it's not about the tan. It's the vitamin D. They flock in for the vitamin D."
For Molly Hornbeck of Whiting and Sarah Stanley of Brandon, they're about to travel to St. John.
"I'm going to study abroad," Stanley said. "I need to get a base before I fry."
Upstairs in Ben and Jerry's, Ariana Thomas of Shrewsbury pressed hot waffle cones on a sizzling griddle coated on the outside with burned grease.
"Well, my car wouldn't start this morning that was sort of a bummer," Thomas said. Luckily, her father let her use his, but she said the cold hasn't really been bothering her. In fact, she welcomes it.
"I'm actually really excited, after last year without any real snow."
Thomas finds the cold to be kind of fun, but doesn't believe she'd want to be outside too long.
"If I was working outside, I'm sure I'd be singing a different tune."

Here are some tips from Mayo Clinic to help avoid turkey-related mishaps:
1. Turkey selection: At least one pound per person is the rough rule of thumb. That might sound like a lot, but much of that weight comes from bone and fat that you will trim away. If you enjoy leftovers, do the math for the number of people you will serve, then choose a turkey at least a few pounds heavier.
2. Defrosting: Keep your turkey frozen until it is ready to thaw. To thaw it in the refrigerator, leave it in its original wrapper, place it on a tray and allow at least a full day for every four pounds. For example, a 12-pound turkey, enough for about eight people plus leftovers, will take three or four days to thaw. You can also thaw the turkey in its wrapper submerged in cold water in a clean sink; allow a half-hour per pound and change the water every 30 minutes.
3. Turkey prep: After thawing, remove the giblets and rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water.
4. The base: Raw, chopped vegetables make a nice base on which to place the turkey in the pan. They keep the turkey off the bottom of the pan and let air circulate. And, roasted vegetables make a healthy side dish.
5. Take steps to avoid salmonella: Use sanitizer to wipe down anything the raw poultry might have touched, then wash your hands to avoid spreading salmonella.
6. Start at a high temperature and finish low and slow: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Starting at a high temperature will sear the outside of the turkey, brown it nicely and push moisture toward the center of the bird. In about 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 275.
7. Quitting time: Use a meat thermometer to test whether the turkey is done. Insert it in the thickest part of the thigh and make sure it reaches 165 degrees. A 12-pound bird will take roughly five hours to cook.
8. Let it rest: Resist the temptation to nibble when the turkey comes out of the oven. Let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes, putting a lid on it if you're worried about the bird cooling. Letting the turkey rest will help redistribute the moisture throughout, keeping the meat tender.
9. Carving: Pop the thighs down first, then take the wings off and separate the legs from the thighs. Cut across the grain of the turkey.
10. Leftovers: Refrigerate or freeze leftover turkey promptly. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator safely for three or four days. Do not let the turkey sit at typical room temperatures for more than two hours.

It was just over a week ago that the Lakers had lost back-to-back games to open the season, and we said that the drama was only going to get more ridiculous. Now, here we are. The Lakers fired their coach after five games, nearly brought the winningest coach of all time back to the bench for a triumphant return, only to flip the story on its head to roll the dice with Mike D'Antoni. The most insane experiment of all time just keeps getting better!
Now, there are the obvious sportswriter-y questions:
- Can D'Antoni keep Kobe Bryant under control?
- Can he get through to Dwight Howard?
- Can he get the Lakers defense on track?
- Can he stop himself from running Nash into the ground?
- Will Phil Jackson haunt the Lakers all season?
But really, the number one question is the same: Can the Lakers win it all?
That's how we'll measure the D'Antoni decision, it's how the Lakers will measure themselves, and until May, everything's more or less irrelevant. But since it's still November and everyone wants to gauge what the Lakers just did, let's work backwards.
Did It Make Sense To Fire Mike Brown?
Compare the two biggest bombshells of the NBA season so far — the night we found out James Harden got traded and the morning we found out Mike Brown got fired — and you begin to see why the Mike Brown decision was so easy.
When Harden got traded, everyone who loves the NBA was in shock. Harden turned into a star last year and OKC turned into a title contender that was supposed to contend for the next 10 years. Breaking up the nucleus seemed unthinkable, especially since Harden wouldn't have to sign until next summer, so at worst they had at least one more year together. Even two weeks later, it's still kind of unthinkable.
This is not something we'll say about Mike Brown in two weeks. Even Friday, nobody was shocked that Mike Brown got fired, it was just the timing of the whole thing that caught everyone off guard. The world's been waiting for Mike Brown to be fired since the day he was hired.
Mike Brown got fired now? Yeah, because Brown was a bad fit with the Lakers last year, and the problems were only to get worse when daily scrutiny compounded coaching that was always a longshot to work with the roster they had. The Lakers have a two-year window to work with here, and the clock was ticking. Firing Mike Brown in November gave them the best possible chance to click with whoever they brought in next. Speaking of which ...
Was Mike D'Antoni A Smart Choice?
This Lakers team is too old for nightly half-court battles that hinge on precise execution and rugged defense on the other end. They need to make the games easier on themselves. For all his failures in the past, Mike D'Antoni has always made offense look far too easy.
Where Brown failed is where D'Antoni excels. Kobe will get easy buckets, Steve Nash will return to his professional nirvana once he comes back from injury and the grinding gears of the Lakers offense under Brown should give way to something more like a well-oiled machine.
There are worries about defense and depth, but those were both problems under Brown, too, and would've been issues with any other coach L.A. hired. And as much as D'Antoni makes life easier for aging superstars like Kobe and Nash, it'll also help turn guys like Darius Morris and Jodie Meeks into solid options off the bench. He's done it over and over again elsewhere, and if there's one thing the ultra-thin Lakers need, it's a guy who can make the most of spare parts.
This Lakers team was designed to compensate for those issues by blowing people off the court with offensive firepower, and D'Antoni is headed to L.A. because there's nobody in basketball better equipped to make that vision work. The Lakers' best hope was always that great offense would beget better defense, and Dwight Howard would be good enough to make the Lakers solid on D all by himself. With D'Antoni, they're far closer to that reality than they were two weeks ago.
Was D'Antoni A Better Choice Than Phil Jackson?
If D'Antoni doesn't win a title, the world will always say Phil would've solved everything. But divorced from the 11 rings mystique, D'Antoni's probably the better choice regardless.
L.A. didn't need another complacent Hall of Famer to put them over the top. For instance: Everyone worried about defense under D'Antoni must have forgotten how awful the Lakers were on D in the Mavericks series two years ago. Phil was in full-fledged IDGAF mode at that point, and for all the excitement he apparently had about coaching this Lakers team, we have no idea whether his fire would last if things went bad three months from how. We don't know if Nash would've excelled in the triangle offense or whether Phil could've made a difference on defense.
Yes: It'll be impossible to watch this Lakers team the rest of the year without wondering how they might have looked under Phil, but while we wonder, let's not forget how joyless and hopeless they looked two years ago, when Phil had basically thrown up his hands and checked out. For a coach that was painted as the inevitable savior, Phil came with plenty of question marks.
So what does this mean now? With Brown, the Lakers were a grinding team whose offense had the entire roster showing its age. More than anything, D'Antoni makes sense because this Lakers team was supposed to be fun. A fun team that makes old superstars look young.
And as idiotic as it sounds, "fun" matters here. The Lakers stars know how to win, but especially with the avalanche of scrutiny hovering over everything, making basketball fun for three very different superstars could go a long way toward helping the pieces click.
With Phil, there would've been instant pressure on everyone to adjust to the triangle and get the offense going. For a team preordained to greatness, adding the greatest coach of all time wasn't going to alleviate the pressure to execute so much as double down on everything. Instead, the Lakers can just be the team everyone expected when they traded for Steve Nash last summer -- gunning for a title with the most terrifying fast break since the Showtime Lakers.
The Nash trade is what makes this decision easy. They pinned their title hopes to him, and trying to fit Nash into the triangle would've been every bit as risky as rolling the dice with D'Antoni and hoping his system can work in the playoffs. Rather than forcing square pegs into a triangle, D'Antoni makes the Lakers puzzle simple. This team was meant to (1) run with Nash and Kobe, (2) rely on Dwight to anchor the defense and murder people on the secondary break, (3) pick-and-roll people to death in the half court, and (4) outscore everyone. D'Antoni gives them the best chance to do it all.
Once the playoffs get here, it'll be up to Kobe and Nash and Dwight to stay healthy and hit another level -- same as it would've been with anyone else. There's no guarantee they win a title, but success wasn't guaranteed with anyone they hired.
We know this, though: Talent trumps everything in the NBA, and instead of betting big on a Hall of Fame coach to save everyone, the Lakers just went all-in on their brand new superstars. It'll be months before we know whether this can really work, but whatever happens, I can't wait to watch them try.

Here's a matchup to watch in the Week 11 game between the Patriots and Colts:
Patriots TEs Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez vs. Colts safeties Aaron Francisco and Antoine Bethea
Getting Bethea back in the Colts' secondary was big for Indy, as they have played without Bob Sanders since Week One. Francisco was thrust into the starting role and does not have a whole lot of game experience. The Colts allowed Bengals rookie TE Jermaine Gresham to have the best game of his short career, with 9-85-1 receiving in Week 10.
They will have a tougher task against the Patriots and their elite rookie tight ends. Hernandez had been the star all season, leading the team in receiving yards through nine games before tallying zero receptions in Week 10. Gronkowski is the red-zone threat, leading all rookies with six TD receptions. But Gronkowski also gets looks in between the 20s and he caught 5-72-3 against the Steelers.
The struggle in covering Gronkowski and Hernandez is competing with their athleticism and finding the right matchup. The Colts could throw a cornerback or a linebacker at the tight ends, although their linebacking corps is banged up. One way to slow down the Patriots' offense is to take away short-to-intermediate passes, something at which Gronkowski and Hernandez have thrived.

The Daily Scope
Mercury enters Taurus today, and as a result you may be thinking about your finances. Strive to keep your money musings optimistic, but know that you may feel some stress. You might feel that you aren't receiving adequate compensation for all your hard work. But rest assured that your efforts are being noticed and you are headed for a promotion. Stay positive!
Today can be a day of misunderstandings, complete with a mix-up between what you're saying and what you actually mean. In sending out e-mails, double-check your writing to make certain you're getting your real message across. In meetings or on conference calls, go over all of your notes beforehand, thinking carefully about what you wish to convey.
You need to slow down today. Work is very demanding, and if you're not careful, you could overdo it. Mercury (your ruling planet) moves into Taurus, emphasizing your need for relaxation and mental refreshment. Meditation can be helpful.
People know you're a great listener, which is why everyone pours out their heart to you. But don't allow yourself to be burdened today by the excessive emotional demands of others. In true water-sign style, go with the flow, and like the waves of the ocean, stay attuned to your natural rhythms. Later, you'll have good conversation and storytelling with friends to look forward to.
Your career favors practical conversations with a focus on results. Mercury moves into earthy Taurus today, an event that is especially supportive of your professional life, assisting you with an understanding of the steps necessary for manifesting your aspirations. Later, a situation at home may call for your attention. Listen patiently.
Today is challenging and calls for introspection and self-assessment. Something you hadn't realized about your communication style, whether in words or body language, reveals itself. What you discover may not please you. But keep things in perspective and don't be too hard on yourself. For a reality check, confide in a wise friend (your personal guru) and see what they have to say. Remember, you're working on yourself!
Today may prompt financial discussions. This could relate to your income as well as to money directed toward improving your home. It is important to assess value, and today could lend itself to researching loans or other ways of procuring financing. Later, the emphasis shifts to pleasure and recreation. Romance is exciting.
Whatever new project you have been nurturing, this is not a good day to convey your ideas to others. There may be parts of your plan that you have yet to synthesize. This may lead people to misunderstand what you're trying to achieve, and their criticism could make you defensive. Keep your eye on the big picture. Has your view changed recently? Today is a good day to find out.
You feel a bit encumbered by all you have to do and are responsible for today. Though this might make you edgy, Mercury moves into Taurus to lend practical support. You are able to focus and accomplish a great deal. Try to balance work demands with some physical exercise, and pay attention to your diet and health regime. Some pampering might be in order.
Mercury moves into Taurus today, inspiring you to take action with a creative project, particularly concerning design and the arts. Your love life may take center stage as well, as the stars emphasize opportunity for harmony and compatibility. Be sure to keep your eyes open!
As the Moon moves into your sign today, now is the time for your needs to take priority. Your sense of self is strong, and your home life is very much on your mind (thanks to Mercury moving into Taurus). You may also be thinking about upgrading communication tools (phone, computer), particularly if they are used in a home office.
Today will be a balancing act between your subconscious feelings and your material possessions. Your personal outlook and inward understanding are changing, calling for an examination of various aspects of your life, from your clothes to your choices in friends. Take an inventory of your possessions that hold sentiment and ask, "Does this still represent me?" If the answer is no, then it is time to release it. Purging possessions that are no longer pertinent is a way of acknowledging to the universe that you're ready for new beginnings.

This is not a full service hotel, I had to leave the hotel to eat breakfast in the mornings. The staff was cordial but not friendly, I didn't see one staff person smile. The environment felt cold.The small pool is in the front of the hotel with the view & sounds of the 408 highway. Modern design. It's a pet friendly hotel. On my first day the lobby smelled like dogs!

the hotel looks very new and trendy. fun, young atmosphere for travelers or business professionals.
$20 per day for parking is VERY expensive. they should provide a discount for the guest staying in the hotel. or allow self parking for free instead of valet.The hotel was very conveniently located by expressways. very easy to get to different places. It was also in a safe location so leaving your car at a meter and walking at night was not an issue.

It was horrible manager and would not offer any help. Instead I had to call the corporate offices for Hilton to assign a room at another nearby location.
The hotel itself seemed OK, but the staff did not live up to the Hilton Hotel line mission statement.I would love too, but I have better things to do with my time. I am filing a formal complaint with Hilton Corporate for the way this manager treated me.

Very nice staff, and helpful.
There is a busy, elevated highway ramp just at the front of the property and a busy elevated highway just behind. The city seemed to have wanted to surround this beautiful place with concrete.On the other hand, the place is a quiet oasis of beautiful plants, trees, flowers and buildings. The houses are full of antique furniture and the Dr. Phillips house contains a large collection of teapots, the like of which has to be seen to be believed. The breakfast offered is buffet-style. I don't believe any meats were part of it, but there was delicious egg 'strata', toast, cereal, sweet buns, bagels, cut fruit, yogurts, spreads for the toast, fruit juices, milk, and some of the richest, tastiest coffee I've ever had.

Today's Word of the Day means...
A type of very fine-grained quartz found in various colors that are arranged in bands or in cloudy patterns. The bands form when water rich with silica enters empty spaces in rock, after which the silica comes out of solution and forms crystals, gradually filling the spaces from the outside inward. The different colors are the result of various impurities in the water.
(Heb. shebo), a precious stone in the breast-plate of the high priest (Ex. 28:19; 39:12), the second in the third row. This may be the agate properly so called, a semi-transparent crystallized quartz, probably brought from Sheba, whence its name. In Isa. 54:12 and Ezek. 27:16, this word is the rendering of the Hebrew cadcod, which means "ruddy," and denotes a variety of minutely crystalline silica more or less in bands of different tints. This word is from the Greek name of a stone found in the river Achates in Sicily.

An attic fire tore through a Phoenix home late Wednesday morning.
Phoenix firefighters battled back the flames after it had consumed most of the roof on the home near 7300 W. Holly St.
No one was home and no injuries were reported. A neighbor called 911 to report the fire about 11:30 a.m.
No cause had been determined and no other information was immediately available.

Plans for a new baseball field, multi-purpose field, walking trails and an amphitheater as part of Phase II of the Hilltop Park development plan began to take shape following a special Verona Township Council Tuesday night.
Township Engineer Jim Helb said the township also plans to make improvements to two existing fields – Veterans Field and Centenniel Field – adding a new press box and resodding the fields.
The project is in the preliminary discussion stages and the council said it plans to look for funding that does not involve tax dollars. The long-term operation costs would not be substantial since field maintenance requires few full time employees, he added.
"One of the town's major achievements was Centennial Field, built in 2007 with K. Hovnanian," said Helb. "The field has been a very well-utilized field – lighted and secured - and supports not only recreation programs, but many Verona High School activities as well."
Phase II would include two new parking lots with 90 spaces while Phase III would add another 90 to 110 spots. In total, there would be between 366 and 386 parking spots for the facilities, including already existing parking spaces.
The project would take approximately 18 months to complete, which would take one full construction season and part of another, said Helb.
The amphitheater and parking lots could take 12 months and improvements to Veterans Field could take another nine months.
"It is conceivable that shovels could be in the ground by late March or early April," said Township Manager Joe Martin. "If that's the case the project could be finished by fall 2014."

Admitted Students
Looks like you're in business! Now what?
Congrats on your admission. Here's what you need to do to prepare. (Remember when we said you'd hit the ground running? We weren't kidding.)
Complete your University Admissions checklist.
Review degree information, including orientation, gen eds, required business courses, and more.
Look at a sample business freshman year.
The cool thing about a business degree is that you get the freedom to plan your own academic schedule. Here's an example of a typical freshman year. (Yours may vary, depending on your own personal interests, AP credits, and scheduling.)
First semester (14–17 hours)
BUS 101: Business Professional Responsibility
ECON 102 or ECON 103: Microeconomic Principles or Macroeconomic Principles
MATH 125: Elementary Linear Algebra
Composition I or CMN 101
CS 105: Introduction to Non-Technical Computing, General Education, or Language other than English requirement
Second semester (16–17 hours)
ECON 102 or ECON 103: Microeconomic Principles or Macroeconomic Principles
MATH 234: Calculus for Business
Composition I or CMN 101
CS 105: Introduction to Non-Technical Computing, General Education, or Language other than English requirement
Select a major in the College of Business
The College of Business doesn't admit you based on a selected major. That means you can choose whichever major—or majors—you want (just choose it before your junior year). Ready to select your major now? Great. Go to the front desk at the Undergraduate Affairs Office in 1055 BIF and fill out the proper form. Unless you're interested in the Supply Chain Management major—in that case, you have to apply to the program.
For a complete list of majors and descriptions, go to Academics.
Take classes this summer to get ahead.
Why spend the summer bored out of your mind? Prepare yourself for the Fall semester by taking community college classes. Make sure you check out Transferology. It'll connect your community college courses with our courses—and match the ones that transfer properly.
Check your AP credits.
Before you create your schedule, take note of the classes in which you've already received AP credits. Visit the university's list of accepted AP scores for more info.
File your FAFSA.
We know, we know. More paperwork. But it's totally worth it. If you're overwhelmed filling out the forms, the Financial Aid Office can help you with all the necessary paperwork and applications. For more info about receiving financial aid from the government, university, or scholarships, go to the Financial Aid Office website.
Tech Recommendations
The university provides computer labs all over campus, but we strongly recommend personal computers for all business students. Whether you bring a netbook, laptop, or desktop depends on your preference.
Oh, and a note for you Mac users: ECON 203 (a mandatory business core course) requires the Windows version of Excel. You'll have to use a computer lab or make other arrangements for this part of the coursework.
Microsoft Office Suite for your operating system is highly recommended throughout the university. In fact, most business-related classes will require you to use it during your first year. We offer a substantial academic discount, so check out webstore.illinois.edu for more info on buying it.
The Texas Instruments BA-II Single Line LCD Financial Calculator is required for most business courses, but the Hewlett Packard 12C or 12C Platinum can be used, too.
When you're enrolled in the required math courses, you'll need a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator. (Classes like MATH 125: Linear Algebra for Business Applications require the matrix functions that these calculators provide.)
No TI-89 calculators. They're not allowed for most courses.
Your first business classes will require an i>Clicker. It's basically a hand-held remote that lets you submit in-class answer choices to your professor. It's used for everything from attendance to quizzes. You'll find i>Clickers at the Illini Union Bookstore.

The FBI has arrested five people who are accused of conspiring to use explosives on a bridge in Brecksville in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The FBI said in a press release the public was not in danger, and an undercover FBI employee had controlled the explosive devices. In addition, the explosives were inoperable.
The arrests were made Monday night by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, an FBI press release said.
Arrested were: Douglas L. Wright, 26, Brandon L. Baxter, 20, and Anthony Hayne, 35. The three are being charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce.
Connor C. Stevens, 20, and Joshua S. Stafford, 23, also were arrested. Charges are pending.
The men had been monitored by local law enforcement before the arrests. A criminal complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in Cleveland this morning. The men will appear before a federal magistrate in U.S. District court today.
The defendants considered a variety of plots in the Cleveland area before settling on the state Route 82 bridge from Brecksville to Sagamore Hills in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the release said. For more details on the five locations they targeted, see The Plain Dealer's coverage.
The three who are charged with conspiracy are self-proclaimed anarchists.

Overview:For many IT departments, traditional backup has not kept up with the need for faster performance and trouble-free restore. Disk-to-disk systems, which can increase backup speed and reliability, fill up too quickly, hold too few recovery points, and do not offer a practical DR solution. The ideal backup solution, IT departments are often told, will require major infrastructure changes, complex integration, and high costs.
The DXi6500 from Quantum offers a different kind of solution - it solves even complex backup problems simply and affordably by integrating the most advanced storage technology into a simple, pre-configured solution that includes all software licenses in the base price. With the DXi6500, IT departments improve protection, centralize management, and reduce overall costs.

Who will you choose to supply your video content?
By: David Jacobs In a previous blog, I suggested that as PayTV takes its next evolutionary step and embraces the Internet as another delivery medium, the principle of paying for TV is far from dead. Viewed content will always be paid for somehow – whether it's "I pay" (subscription or pre-payment), "you pay" (given to me, the consumer, as part of an incentive) or someone else pays (paid by advertising). However, the payment method needs to be contextualized to suit the person consuming it. For example, young children are unlikely to use their pocket money to watch TV, but will […] More >>
The Unintentional Consequences of a Court Ruling
The real danger of this month's US federal appeals court ruling rejecting the authority of the Federal Communications Commission to regulate the Internet has little to do with the threat to net neutrality and whether service providers will suddenly soon start charging consumers extra for YouTube access. The sting in the tail comes in the implications the court ruling has for the FCC's national broadband plan, a much-needed program to bring broadband access to 100 million Americans. To quickly recap: a federal appeals court ruled earlier this month, by a 3-0 majority, that the FCC had no authority to […] More >>

"Nothing is sillier than this charge of plagiarism. There is no 8th Commandment in the Arts. The poet dare help himself wherever he lists — whenever he finds material suited to his work. He may even appropriate entire columns with their carved capitals, if the Temple he thus supports be a beautiful one. Goethe understood this very well, and so did Shakespeare before him.
I have borrowed from everything and everywhere, to the best of my ability; from life in its varied forms, and from the open reservoirs of stolen learning called books. He is richest who borrows most.
As the strippings are said to contain the cream, so the author's gleanings in the field of knowledge condense the wisdom of many minds and all ages."
I must confess this has been true in my 34 years of sitting at the feet of our older generation. I have copied their memories as they have related their vivid stories of the past. Much of what I have written in HOME FOLKS has come from others. They have enriched my life with their knowledge of our mutual past.
It seems unreal that I am now considered "elderly." Others call and write and ask for information of those bygone years and I find myself passing on the stories of those who have gone on before me and so the cycle continues.
I have tried to always use the names of the ones who give the stories to me so that I am placing certain people in certain slots of time. This gives continuity to the stories and places these people in a specific time of history. This will be important at a later time when younger ones become interested in their family history.
These many years of sitting at the feet of the older generation and hearing their stories have enriched my life more than all the books I have read. I know my time is limited and I hope there are those younger scholars who will pick up the load of responsibility to preserve the history of our mutual past.
It seems odd to talk about the older generation and realize I belong in that category. My recent 84th birthday brought nearly 200 birthday greetings from mostly former school children I had taught. To know they care and remember with fondness those days are the best birthday gift any one could receive.
Today, I am just remembering those bygone days and loving every moment of the trip into the past. I hope your memories are stirred and you get a new urge to record your family history. Write it for the purpose of laying a foundation for your children and grandchildren. They will get interested and they will add to it their accomplishments and family stories for the next generation.
I would like to say to you all. I love Walker County, its people, and its history. Given a choice, I would not change the life I have lived here all the way from the farm to Teacher of the year (twice) of Alabama. Awards come seldom, friendship stays forever.

Assuming you had all of the money in the world, would you spend it on these speakers? For the price to feed a small family for years, you could have MBL's X-treme Speakers.
Born Rich says that these units are "perfectly balanced acoustically brilliant sound." For $180,000, they'd better be.
Standing six feet tall, the features include four proprietary 12-inch subwoofers and two omni-directional drivers: one is suspended and inverted above the other, mounted on a massive platform made from carbon fiber, aluminum, steel, acrylic, and wood. For that price, it should be made from tiny baby ivory-billed woodpeckers.
Start saving; they will be officially launched at January's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. How many showgirls could you get for that price?

Nevada, Delaware, and New Jersey all made headlines in the past year for passing bills allowing online gambling within their state's borders.
This week, Nevada issued the first-ever gaming license to an internet gambling company in the United States – to 888 Holdings. This follows the recent news that Pokerstars.com, the world's largest online poker site, made a bid to purchase a struggling Atlantic City brick-and-mortar casino, the Atlantic Club, in anticipation of approval of its license to operate in that state.
888 Holdings is a London-based company that runs a number of online gambling sites including casino-on-net.com and 888poker.com. They stopped allowing U.S. residents from gambling on their sites after the enforcement of the Unlawful Internet Gambling and Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2011. They still managed to climb up the ladder of online gambling companies over the years and now are the fourth-largest online poker site in the world. 888poker.com even offers a tournament to their customers with a grand prize of an ownership stake in a racehorse!
888 Holdings will now be able to set up shop in Nevada to operate online gaming for other Nevada-based gaming companies. The first property to enter in to an agreement with 888 is Caesars. 888 will design and provide the technology for Caesars' online poker rooms.
The most interesting thing about the Nevada law is that it allows the state to enter into compacts with other states to provide them with online gaming. Backers of the law are hopeful that the tide is turning on the U.S. Government's opposition to online gambling, and that the path back to online wagering lies in state-by-state legislation.
Horse racing fans in most U.S. states already have the ability to wager on races online. Horse racing was not included in the UIGEA.
Where for a long time brick-and-mortar gaming companies have opposed expansion of online gambling, in the world of horse racing the industry has (perhaps reluctantly?) come to embrace it.
The effect of the online poker boom of 2003-2011 on brick-and-mortar poker rooms was obvious to casinos in Nevada. The attendance in poker rooms skyrocketed. By 2006, it seemed every casino in Las Vegas had its own poker room. The impact of the post-2011 UIGEA enforcement also was clear. Many of those poker rooms are now gone. Online wagering doesn't take gamblers away from the tables/windows, it creates new gamblers, and therefore new customers.

Considered one of the region's premier performance facilities, Meany Hall for the Performing Arts is beloved by artists and audience members alike for its outstanding acoustics and intimate ambiance. Individual performance venues include the 1,206 seat proscenium Meany Theater, and the 238 seat Meany Studio Theatre.
From its earliest beginnings, Meany Hall has symbolized the Northwest's dedication to community education, culture, and the arts. Its stages host international performers through the UW World Series, as well as performers from the School of Drama, School of Music, Dance Program, and the Center for Digital Arts & Experimental Media. Its interior spaces are adorned with the work of Northwest artists. In addition, Meany Hall is available for rental opportunities to on-campus groups and community organizations.
Today, Meany Hall remains dedicated to its mission: to provide a supportive environment for the presentation of engaging and diverse performing arts programs. Come explore what the world has to offer, from across the globe to your own backyard. Welcome to Meany Hall for the Performing Arts.
One of the first works visitors encounter upon entering the Meany lobby is this bold work by Koren Christofides. Using vibrant colors and layered, expressive brush strokes, Mise en Scene is inspired by the mythological creation stories depicted on ancient Greek vases.
Featured in the West Lobby is this piece by renowned artist Jacob Lawrence. Fittingly entitled Theater (1985), this piece was especially created for Meany Hall and evokes impressions of the stage, circus, and concert hall - themes that can be traced in Lawrence's work as far back as 1951 with his series of paintings based on childhood memories of the Apollo Theater in Harlem.
Also featured in the West Lobby is a glass art work by Dale Chihuly entitled Six Starbursts (1996). Chihuly a renowned glass artist, an alumni of the UW School of Art and founder of the Pilchuck Glass School has inspired a renaissance in glass art, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.
Spanning the lobby's east wall is Guy Anderson's work entitled "Sacred Pastures" (1978).Anderson has been a major figure in a style of painting closely linked to our region. His use of subdued light and muted earthy colors suggests the influence of Asian art and philosophy.

3.63/5 rDev +8%
Pecan brown with bright orange accents... that became a beautiful shade of red-orange-bronze when the glass was held up to the brewpub's sunlit front window. The small beige cap looked fine to start, faded fairly quickly and left a little feathery lace.
The nose was different and somewhat hard to describe, partly because the beer wasn't as aromatic as it could have been. NP smelled dark (but not roasted) and fruity. It was also a little woody, although I probably imaged it. Warming didn't help because it was already at room temperature.
According to my server, this brew is The Dane's version of Old Peculier and is supposed to be an English brown ale. I happen to love Theakston Old Peculier and the New is nowhere near the Old when it comes to flavor, complexity and drinkability. Still, it isn't bad beer.
New Peculier tasted like a low-ABV old ale, something that isn't very common in this country. Other comparisons would be a Belgian dark ale without the estery yeast and a fruity brown ale with no hint of roasted or chocolate malt. The fruitiness was akin to mushy apples and raisins (mostly golden, some dark).
The finish was nicely, although not quite tightly, focused by what tasted like a reasonably generous amount of English hops. Bitter bested tart, with sweet coming in a distant third. Part of the beer's lack of complexity can be attributed to its mouthfeel.
Since beer from a beer engine is supposed to be room temperature and almost flat, I felt like an above average score was warranted. That said, I prefer most beer to be at least slightly chilled, with at least a little life in it. Drinkability (ease of) was definitely on the high side.
I find it peculiar that neither Old Peculier nor New Peculier spell peculiar correctly. Maybe that's part of what makes them peculiar. This beer's biggest problem is that it's too simple and does nothing to stand out from the crowd. Oh well. I guess it isn't easy to teach Old Peculier new tricks.

On-tap at the downtown Dane.
Pours a hazy dark-brown with a skim of khaki bubbles in a small 10-12oz tumbler. Nose israther subdued, toasty malts and a faint floral hop. Taste is similar to their Dark Mild with a big biscuity malt backbone sharing the stage with metallic-muted prune, nutty caramel and herbal hops. Mouthfeel is a little astingent and thin, very...British. I've never had the Old Peculier, so I have no comparison there, but this is very similar overall to their Dark Mild. Not really my style.

On tap the brew pub into a 4oz taster...Pours a medium to dark brown, pretty light on the edges. Not much head or lacing...A light aroma of roasted coffee and a touch of nut, but just not enough going on, needs to be stronger...The taste is a 180, sweet and boring, the roast is gone, just not enough going on a little boring but easy to drink.
Sadly, one of the better beers here but nothing outstanding. Worth a shot if your there.

This is actually an Old Ale (Currently listed as an American Brown)
A: Aviator jacket brown with a massive white head. Lasting at ½ inch in perpetuity.
N: Biscuits and English hops. On the light side.
T: Caramel and toffee. Nutty. Mild roasted coffee. Bready/bicuity yeasts. Molasses. Hints of plums.
MF: Smooth and creamy. A winner.
D: Quite high.
Not as good as its (and mine) name sake but damn close.

Draft at the brewpub. I wasn't quite sure what to think of this beer; I'm surprised to read it is in the Old Ale style; to me it seemed reminiscent of a Scotch Ale or a Wee Heavy. Taste is lightly peaty with a bit of sweetness.
Appearance is a dark brown, nearly opaque, with a small amount of head. Aroma was lightly malty. Taste was as I described above. I found this beer somewhat interesting as I couldn't classify it, but I can't say that I would strongly recommend it.

3.03/5 rDev -9.8%
A - A brownish red beer with a one finger head that dissipated to a to a thin ring along the edges.
S - Kind of a strange beer, and don't see it much as a brown, smells more like an ESB. Little nutty with some english style hops and brown sugar malts.
T - Tastes a bit like a robust ESB. Browns are a style I'm not usually into but then find myself liking if they're good. This isn't bad, with some caramel malts and a bit of roasty tasting, the english hops make it taste like a robust ESB.
M - A little bit flat, but all of the beers here seem to be. Medium bodied.
D - This is an okay beer, little bit different, nothing great, nothing bad.

DURHAM — As the snow closes schools across the Triangle, Durham Public Schools is trying to figure out the best way to make those days up.
School officials say a plan is in place but want to wait to see how many days of school will be missed before making the final decision. Schools will be canceled Friday as well. According to weather.com, Durham received an estimated 7 inches of snow.
Friday and Monday were intended to be a make-up day for year-round schools, which originally had the day off. Traditional schools will make up the Jan. 29-30 school days lost to a snow storm on Feb. 17 and March 28 respectively.
Spring break, Saturdays and extending the school year could be an option if no days are available.

New Winchester charity café launched in the Broadway
1:00pm Monday 7th July 2014 in Winchester By Lauren Howard, Reporter
A NEW café has been launched in Winchester in a bid to provide a charity with much-needed funding.
YMCA, based at St John's House in the Broadway, launched its renovated public-only cafe to help give a financial boost to its services.
The previous cafe was split into two separate areas – one for the public and the other for the youth clubs.
But the charity is now set on refurbishing other rooms throughout the building in order to provide more essential services.
Marketing assistant Rowena Spinks said: "The previous cafe was split between the public and the youth clubs that were here but now it's just meant for the public.
"We have temporarily stopped doing youth clubs until we can refurbish the areas. We're still providing vital services helping young people but the concept is that the cafe will be a portal to bring people in the door and therefore money to keep us going.
"We're hoping to launch the new youth clubs and a number of other events in September. This new project will do so much for us."
Though the plans have not yet been confirmed it is hoped refurbishments will take place in the conference room, staff kitchen, a room for older youth clubs, and the large reception hall which can be rented out for special occasions or used to host bigger youth groups.

A major step forward today in the state's fight for Privatized Medicaid.
Wednesday, the federal centers for Medicare & Medicaid services indicated they will approve the state's request, known as a Medicaid Waver, to move almost all Medicaid patients into private managed care plans.
If approved, it would start with long-term care seniors, and then move to a broader Medicaid patient bases.
Ultimately the state would like to see 3 million Medicaid patients in managed care plans that would facilitate preventative care and keep state costs lower.
"The Goal of most managed care plans is to keep people out of the ER and out of the hospital unless they need to be there," said PanCare of Florida's Northwest Executive Director, mike hill. "If you manage the care, you'll reduce the cost because the people will not be as sick when they present."
It's the argument that Governor Rick Scott has championed since 2011, when several bills were passed to improve Medicaid services and save the state money on the 21 billion dollar program.
Wednesday, they took one step closer to Medicaid privatization.
In a letter, the Federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid services indicated they would approve the state's request, if the state promises to be transparent
Governor Scott was undeniably pleased saying:
"Improving the coordination of care in Medicaid means we will be able to better manage chronic conditions and give more preventative treatments to help keep Florida families healthy…"
But the challenge, according to hill, is to get HMO's into the panhandle to provide these services.
"There are not many Managed Care Programs in the Panhandle because they've never been able to have a sufficient provider network in place to sustain it," said Hill.
He said it's also necessary to have far reaching resources; something that could pose a challenge to rural areas where resources are scarce.
But if it works, he said the results could put money back into the pockets of taxpayers.
"If HMO's and Managed Care will do that, then everyone should be for it," said Hill
In a press conference in Tallahassee on Wednesday afternoon, Scott made what some consider a surprising announcement. He will expand the state's Medicaid insurance program under the Affordable Care Act. This is an about-face to his previous view point.
