This week, PFW selects Cam Newton, Stevie Brown and David Wilson as its Players of the Week.
Connor has signed with the New York Giants as a free agent. The Giants announced the signing of the former Penn State product Saturday without disclosing details.||||||| Connor can play both inside and outside, so his signing casts some doubt on whether New York will bring back middle linebacker Chase Blackburn, who is a free agent.
The Dallas Cowboys have released linebacker Dan Connor and restructured the contracts of three more players, moves expected to get the team under the salary cap.||||||| Connor was one of seven free agents Dallas added in free agency last offseason. He got a two-year contract and started eight games after Sean Lee and Bruce Carter were injured.
Connor never returned after halftime of Sunday's game against the New York Giants because of a neck strain.||||||| Connor, who started in place of injured leading tackler Sean Lee, got hurt early in the second quarter. He remained down on the ground at the end of a play when the Giants fumbled. The Cowboys said Connor was out of the game.
Connor is expected to start in place of Sean Lee, who was lost for the season with a broken right toe.||||||| Connor, a free agent addition in the offseason, took most of Lee's playing time in the second half of last week's 19-14 win at Carolina. Connor is listed as a starter alongside Bruce Carter in the middle of the Dallas defense, with Ernie Sims backing him up.
Tight end Jeremy Shockey and Connor are inactive for Carolina's game against the Detroit Lions.||||||| Shockey had been doubtful with injured ribs and Connor had been questionable with a shoulder injury.

This was the most heartbreaking story I've ever read. It made me remember when my father was in a gang. His mom had a nervous breakdown just like Luis's did, and you'd think he'd have gotten out then. He told me that when other members wanted to beat him up, sometimes he would hide. One time they couldn't find him so they killed his best friend. That's when he knew he had to get out.
He thought that because the gang was like a family, they would let him out easy, but he was wrong. They broke two ribs and an arm. They beat him up every time they saw him for a while after that, but it finally stopped.
Luis is so smart to have gotten out of his gang. Now he can live a normal life without having to watch his back and living in fear.

A source close to Dolphins QB Chad Pennington has told ESPN.com that the veteran will miss the rest of the season with a right shoulder injury. It could be a career-ending injury as well.
Pennington got his first start on Sunday since September 2009, but he hurt his shoulder on the first play as he threw an incomplete pass. His right arm hit the back of OLT Jake Long on his follow-through. Pennington completed a 19-yard pass on the next play, but then left the game.
Chad Henne replaced Pennington and got hurt in the third quarter. Pennington had season-ending shoulder surgery in 2009.
Third-string QB Tyler Thigpen finished the game as the team's quarterback.
The way we see it
This is extremely sad news for Pennington who was hyped up for his first start and the opportunity to get the Dolphins' offense on track. For a quarterback who has had multiple surgeries on his throwing shoulder, this would be a disappointing end to Pennington's career. With Henne's MRI results pending, Thigpen will likely start at QB the rest of the way.

Russell Westbrook scored 28 points to lead five Thunder players in double figures as Oklahoma City wrapped up a road trip with a 101-87 victory at Utah Friday night.
The Thunder (21-6) trailed 30-27 after the first quarter, but turned things around in the second period with a 10-0 run that allowed them to take a 49-44 lead into the break.
The Jazz came out hot in the second half, taking a 58-56 lead on a jumper by Al Jefferson. But, Oklahoma City responded with seven straight points to spark a 16-4 run that would push them into the lead for good.
Westbrook finished his night with 28 points, six rebounds, five steals and three assists for the Thunder, who clinched head coach Scott Brooks' first All-Star coaching gig with the victory.
Joining Westbrook in double figures was Kevin Durant with 19, Serge Ibaka with 16 points and 11 rebounds, James Harden with 11 points and Kendrick Perkins with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Jefferson led Utah (13-12) with 20 points.
These same two teams will play each other again Tuesday night, this time at the Chesapeake Arena in Oklahoma City.

Compared to other Vietnamese sandwich shop goodies, banana bread pudding is relatively easy to make at home, perhaps because of its strong connection with Western desserts. The ingredients contain bread, milk, rum, and vanilla, but at the end of the day, the tropical note of banana plays the key role.
- 1 bunch of banana ~ 7-8 fingers, preferably Chuoi Su cultivar (also known as Chuoi Xiem, Pisang Siem, Siusok, Kluai Namwa Daeng)
- 1.5 loaves of old stale bread (the pullman loaf to make sandwiches)
- Rum (1 tbs for every 300g of banana) (optional)
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 4 tbs melted butter
- 1 tbs vanilla (optional)
Use an 8-inch (20-25 cm) cake pan, at least 2 inches (5 cm) thick so that the bread pudding has enough room to rise. Grease the pan.
Slice bananas (in any direction) and mix lightly with rum. Powder the banana with a little bit of sugar if you want the banana to turn red after baking. If you don't like rum, just slice the banana.
The bread: you can keep or trim off the bread rind, which would slightly change your bread pudding's firmness. Either way, dip the bread slices into a mixture of milk, coconut milk, beaten eggs, sugar and vanilla. Squeeze the bread enough to rid it of too much liquid. This is an important step, the cake would be dry if it's too squeezed, and fall apart if it's too wet.
Method 1: alternate 1 layer of bread (~1.5 cm/half inch thick), 1 layer of banana, another layer of bread, etc. until reaching the rim of the pan. Try to have room for a layer of banana on top. Firmly and evenly press the layers down so that the baked cake won't be too spongy or crumbly.
Method 2: mix banana with soaked bread, fill up the pan with the mixture and have 1 layer of sliced banana on top. The result will be a finer texture.
Bake at 175C (350F) or until golden. Quick check: stick a small chopstick/toothpick deep into the bread pudding and pull it out, if the chopstick/toothpick is dry, the banh is done. It usually takes 25-30 minutes.

Biogen PLEGRIDY approved in U.S. for treatment of multiple sclerosis
Biogen Idec announced that the FDA has approved PLEGRIDY, a new treatment for people with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, or RMS. PLEGRIDY is dosed once every two weeks and can be administered subcutaneously with the PLEGRIDY PEN, a new, ready-to-use autoinjector, or a prefilled syringe.

Biogen weakness attributed to Forward Pharma IPO filing
Shares of Biogen Idec (BIIB) came off their earlier highs and moved into negative ground in early trading, with some attributing the move lower to another pharmaceutical company, Forward Pharma (FWP), filing its registration statement with the SEC relating to a proposed initial public offering and reporting that Joel Sendek has been appointed CFO. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Forward Pharma focuses on a proprietary formulation of dimethyl fumarate, or DMF, for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. DMF is the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, or API, found in Tecfidera, which Biogen Idec began selling for the treatment of RRMS following approval by the FDA in March 2013 and approval by the European Commission in February 2014, Forward Pharma indicated in its IPO filing. In addition to its filing, Forward Pharma announced this morning that it has hired Joel Sendek from Stifel Financial, where he served as Managing Director, Biotechnology and led the firm's healthcare equity research group. PRICE ACTION: Shares of Biogen are down fractionally in mid-morning trading after being up over 1% soon after today's opening bell.

The Echo Edge 84 series of fly rods were designed by Pat Ehlers, owner of The Fly Fishers. The 9 weight version of the Pat Ehlers' Echo Edge 84 series of fly rods was designed for warm-water fly fishing for bass, pike and muskies but works great fishing for peacock bass, snook and baby tarpon too. The 9 weight is a go to size for fly fishing pike and muskies.
Echo's Pat Ehlers' Edge 84 Fly Rods are fly rods deigned to be powerful and turn over big flies, fight big fish, but still remain comfortable. Uses for the Echo Pat Ehlers EDGE 84 Fly Rods are found both in saltwater fly fishing as well as freshwater fly fishing. The shorter length allows for more accuracy, better hook setting and fish fighting. These rods are awesome!

Avitar Question
I have a picture I want to use as my avitar. I have gotten the size down to 77x76 but, the file size is 17.2 KB. The guidelines say 80x80 and 6KB. I am not very adept at this stuff so, I need someone to tell me if this is going to work or not. If not, what do I need to do to make it work.
"Never forget where it is you come from, or you may find yourself someplace you don't want to be"
Greg Norman
One way is to use the resample option on your image program, a simpler one is when you save it click the "save as" option and pick "type = jpg" Then you can select options. You can set the amount of compression to make the file size smaller without reducing the picture size.

PEORIA, Ill. -- If you need a little help stocking up this winter, you may want to head to The Salvation Army.
Sign-ups began today for The Salvation Army's Christmas assistance programs.
They include getting donated toys, food baskets, and coats.
WEEK-TV News 25 is co-sponsoring Kids for Coats with The Salvation Army and Children's Hospital of Illinois (see below for details).
The Salvation Army Assistant Development Director, Rich Draeger, says it's getting harder to meet the growing need. You can help out by donating toys, coats, or even money.
"Any time somebody wants to come and find out where those dollars are going, we're more than happy to show them put a human face on how people are struggling this time of year in Central Illinois," said Draeger.
"It's not just the single parents and the people who are unemployed," said Samantha Bishop, of Peoria, who signed up for assistance Monday.
"There's even people working nowadays who are struggling. The cost of food is going up and money is going down. To have to ask for help, it hurts the pride a little, but swallowing my pride and taking care of my son is the main thing in my life."
Anyone can register. Just go to the Salvation Army's Sylvia Fites Center at 417 NE Jefferson in Peoria now until December 2.
Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Thursday are from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
You can sign up to receive or donate:
Toys through Share the Spirit Party at the Peoria Civic Center December 6th or the Toy Shop December 15 and 16 (various locations). Click here for Toys for Tots drop off locations.
Food through the food basket giveaway on December 19th.
New or used coats through Coats for Kids at the Sylvia Fites Center (runs through December 5th).
Coats can be dropped off at WEEK TV at 2907 Springfield Road in East Peoria.
You can also drop off coats at all area Jim Maloof Realty locations, various OSF medical offices and Outpatient Centers in the Tri-County, and American Family Insurance outlets. Other locations include Alexander Financial Services in Washington, and the Northwoods Mall.
Special collection events will be held on Monday, November 21 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Great Hall in the Peoria Civic Center, during the annual Santa Claus Parade on November 25, and on Saturday, December 3 at the Peoria Rivermen Hockey game.
Draeger says the red kettles for monetary donations will start up on Friday around Central Illinois.

With essentially only the Oscars left to lavish praise upon 2012's films, it seems the opaque, askew nature of Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" has left voters with just acting nominations to fully commend. Not that Harvey Weinstein hasn't put his entire support behind the picture to garner more; quite the opposite, but according to him, awards recognition is not the only realm the film will come up short.
Thus far, "The Master" has only taken in $24 million worldwide -- nowhere near a runaway success for PTA -- and in a Sundance chat with Deadline, Weinstein confirmed just as much. When asked if the $30 million-budgeted film will make any money for The Weinstein Company or anyone else, he responded, "Probably not, and I just feel bad for [Annapurna Pictures'] Megan Ellison on that. I think it's a great movie and god bless her for bringing these great movies into the world."
He then admitted he "probably could have marketed it better;" an interesting comment based on the fact that PTA himself cut the striking marketing materials, a move which may have stayed true to the film's tone, but also perhaps a financial detriment as well.
Weinstein also thought audiences "needed to be guided and eased into it," and reflecting upon his close role in PTA's post-production process, pondered whether "being a devil's advocate instead of a cheerleader" would have brought the film better business.
"I seem to do better when I'm playing devil's advocate," Weinstein concluded, but I do think the film will stand up and have a long life down the line." We might stand to agree, but we'll see if "The Master" finds new eyes when its packed Blu-ray hits stores February 26th.

I remember seeing commercials for this movie played during NFL games. The arty trailers that PTA came up with were not the only advertising used for this film. These trailers made it seem like a very mainstream type drama, hocking the big name actors like you would any mainstream movie. The reason this film failed to perform was bad reviews and bad word of mouth.
Alan B | February 2, 2013 1:41 AM
Give me a break, Harves. This is a film in which Phoenix masturbates on a beach ... in the opening sequence. There is a ceiling on the film's success that no amount of nifty marketing could have breached.
jimmiescoffee | January 29, 2013 11:36 PM
best movie of 2012. harvey fucked up.
Yod | January 29, 2013 9:37 PM
The title of this article contains poor English. It should say "...., Wishes He Had Marketed It Differently".
Harrison | January 29, 2013 2:09 PM
I had a hard seeing this film, only one theater in my entire area was showing this film.
bob | January 29, 2013 12:46 PM
I think in the long run, it will do fine. A bunch of films have done shit in the theaters and have found a much bigger audience on DVD or cable tv. In my opinion, "The Master" is the kind of movie that will be watched and rewatched for years to come. It's not the kind of film that will just make the quick buck back at the box office and then be forgot about a year later. It's more then that!
Helgi | January 29, 2013 12:18 PM
Please consider the possibility that the so-called fan-base of PTA is only this big, meaning small. You cannot squeeze certain movies down the throat of the entire population. Different marketing does not change this simple fact.
JIMMY | January 29, 2013 12:17 PM
I want the director's edition of The Master.It'd be a masterpiece.
Brendan Thomas | January 29, 2013 11:37 AM
The only way this movie would've been a financial success is if it had some Oscar buzz behind it. This could've been achieved by releasing it later and trickling it out slower. So if it had been released in late November or something it'd be fresher in the Academy's minds, and MAYBE they would've nominated it for more awards. Then going wide in January would've had a bigger impact. (not that I'm really complaining--seeing this in early September was an unbelievable treat)
However, I'm not convinced this movie would ever have appealed much to the Academy, so perhaps it was destined to lose money regardless. I think Harvey's right that it'll have a long life down the road (think most of Kubrick's films, and their releases as opposed to their legacies). And I still think it's the best movie of the year.
Ray H | January 29, 2013 11:10 AM
I agree with many of the other comments. It was released too early and lost most of its Oscar momentum and a more gradual release would have helped build buzz and word of mouth. But to be fair, it's a tough movie to sell to audiences. The trailers and advertising were among the best of the year.
James | January 29, 2013 10:46 AM
Don't feel too bad for Megan Ellison Harv. Things could, as they say, be worse.
Sofia | January 29, 2013 10:40 AM
I think releasing the film too early made it lose steem to the big awards (and let's face it, that's the only thing HW was after since even I knew it wasn't going to be a big crowd pleaser by watching the trailers...) and maybe they thought it would have the performance of There will be blood... It is a difficult (yet brilliant) film and should have been taken with parsimony until it would find its own crowd.
But they're releasing worldwide now so I do think it's too soon to tell. During the three times I've seen in Brazil (it opened a week ago) the theatres were packed!
rodie | January 29, 2013 10:09 AM
I wish Anderson had written it differently. Fantastic performances, cinematography, score and a genuinely interesting concept all wasted because of a sub par screenplay.
Ahmed | January 29, 2013 10:04 AM
The marketing was fine. Going wide in the second was an awfully dumb decision.
steven | January 29, 2013 9:57 AM
It might've done better if they stuck with the October release date, too. It seemed lonely coming out in September when the rest of the big guns were out in the months following.
oogle monster | January 29, 2013 9:54 AM
I don't think it had anything to do with PTA taking control of the trailer, etc. It has EVERYTHING to do with dumping the film into 700+ theaters after ONE week of limited release. Once again, take a look at the marketing strategy behind The Descendants... EVERY polarizing film could utilize that approach. The Descendants was a shit-filled movie but it had one hell of a marketing strategy. Platform release, Weinstein... PLATFORM RELEASE!

To the editor:
No one should have any trouble finding additional commentary about our gloriously well-written tax codes.
Yet, why are no IRS agents or tax lawyers talking fully about all the rights, obligations, and regulations concerning 501 (c) (4) organizations?
In the midst of this, it is rarely mentioned that all applicants continued to collect funds during the "scrutiny." There has been little mention about the few applicants that were finally denied the status. There has been no mention why they were denied.
There have been discussions about 527 groups and what differences exist between them and the 501 (c) (4)s. It is far easier for a group to organize to promote a party, specific goals, and/or candidates to become tax-exempt. Faster and simpler seem like attractive features. 527s are required to disclose contributions and who contributed. Seems like a bonus in a democracy that wishes to continue to be a democracy.
There are no secrets in a 527. But to become a 501 (c) (4) organization requires tedious paperwork, a long period of "scrutiny," and intensive surveillance afterwards. It is an expensive and tiring process, so why would any group seek this rating?
All 501 (c) (4) organizations cannot be required to disclose their donors publicly. You will never know what Kim Jong-Un contributed. Here is a question to consider. Why would you not want to know who or what is supporting a candidate? The only secrets are in a 501 (c) (4).
IRS erred when they scrutinized applicants. They should have focused on compliance.
The Houses of Congress erred when they repeatedly rewrote legislation concerning applicants and actions. They should have focused on administration, potential violations, and punitive actions against violators.
The executive branch erred when it demanded that a head should roll before investigating what happened.
The Supreme Court erred when it decreed that a legal fiction should be accorded financial privileges in campaign donations as if those fictions were people.
So we have three branches of government, four sources of feckless thugs, and millions of unquestioning enablers.
I am so glad we all accept our role in making it possible for 548 people to determine the fate of more than 300 million and hold just one person responsible.
As Will Rogers once said, "We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others."

Don't get too giddy just because the Red Sox defeated the Cardinals, 6-2, at Fenway in Game 2 on Sunday night to take a 2-0 lead again in the World Series with the next three to play at Busch Stadium beginning on Tuesday night.
Frozen moment
The Cardinals had a chance to get to Schilling early with one out in the second inning and runners on first and second. But Mike Matheny stung a line drive that was snared by Mueller, who tagged Reggie Sanders heading into the third base for an unassisted double play.
Slick move
Manager Terry Francona could have pulled the laboring Schilling in the fifth inning. But he kept him in with a runner on first and one out. Edgar Renteria bounced to short into a double play. Schilling weathered back-to-back errors by Mueller and second baseman Bellhorn in the sixth before finishing up his four-hit performance.
Team errors, many errors
The eight errors are the most for any team in the first two games of the World Series, breaking the record of seven committed by Detroit against Pittsburgh in the first two games of the 1909 World Series. The last team with more than eight errors in an entire World Series was the Milwaukee Brewers, who had 11 vs. the Cards in losing the 1982 series in seven games.
Mueller's three errors
Tied a World Series record for most in a game by a third baseman held by Pepper Martin of the Cards in Game 4 of the 1934 Series and Buck Herzog of the New York Giants, who did it in Game 3 of the 1911 Series.
Last word
"I told Billy I was going to get the next out. I mean, you can't understand unless you're in that clubhouse. I care more about these 24 guys than anybody I've ever played with. I'd do anything for these guys and I think I feel the same way about them when it comes to me. Very few times on the mound do you get a chance to pick up the fielding for the guys playing behind you, and there was a chance for me to do that. I wanted that to happen so bad, I wanted to get out of that inning and make it all right for him as much as anybody, because I know how they feel when they make the errors behind you," -- Schilling on Mueller's visit to the mound shortly after his error in the sixth inning

Girl Scout bracelets to send messages of encouragement to Breast Cancer patients in Houston and Phoenix
HOUSTON (October 20, 2010) – Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low died of Breast Cancer in 1927 when the words "breast" and "cancer" were not often used in conversation, so the fact the Girl Scouts everywhere have taken up the cause is no surprise. However, their creativity to promote awareness is what resonates in the hearts and minds of patients around the world, each year. In The Woodlands over 50 Girl Scout Juniors and Daisies from the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council's Majestic Forest Service Unit hope to shed light on Breast Cancer as they develop beaded bracelets at this year's Daisy Day, October 24th from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Forestgate Park. The bracelets, along with encouraging cards will be given to Breast Cancer patients at hospitals in Houston, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona.
"Our Junior Girl Scouts, who are putting on this year's Daisy Day, brainstormed ideas for projects that could make the greatest impact, but would be simple enough for the younger Girl Scouts in grades kindergarten and first grade to complete in a short period of time," said Paula Neely, Troop Leader and member of the Majestic Forest Service Unit steering committee. "They decided to create bracelets made with Breast Cancer awareness beads, something co-leader Scott Wallach could hand out to other walkers taking part in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, 60-mile walk, in Phoenix Arizona."
For the past three years, Wallach, who is part of the Susan B. Komen Chapter in Phoenix, Arizona, has taken part in the walk to raise money to provide free mammograms to women who might not otherwise be able to afford them. He makes the trek in loving memory of his cousin who succumbed to the disease in 2009. This year's walk takes place November 12 to 14. In addition, several of the girls participating in the Daisy Day have immediate family members who are battling the disease.
Daisy Day is a special day hosted by older Girl Scouts in grades second through seniors in High School and is devoted to the development of Girl Scouts' youngest members in grades kindergarten through first grade. The older girls develop a number of activities that help the younger girls transition into their new role of Girl Scout, including how to perform a flag ceremony, recite the Girl Scout Promise and Law and make crafts.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 76,000 girls served and nearly 18,000 adult members in 26 southeast Texas counties.

"Campaign for the Community". Created in the depths of the Second World War, the predecessor to the current United Way was designed to coordinate a broad community wide effort to help those disadvantaged and most in need during the war. The concept was to help those who needed it in an efficient, effective and coordinated fashion. "The original idea, the notion that optimizing donor value in difficult times is the best way to help people is just as important, if not more so today, than perhaps at any time in our history". There can be no doubt that we are all experiencing the impacts of the recent state of economic dislocation and rapid rate of change which has affected so many" says United Way Campaign Director, Robert Howard. "Bringing the entire community together in common cause is a positive response and a great way to help ensure the vitality and resilience of a community in these times", he continues.
Pro Oil Change in Ajax is offering the "Drive and Give" Program. For the Town of Ajax Employee's 10% of their vehicle maintenance purchases at Pro Oil Change will be donated to the United Way Durham Region.
"Teaming up to build a better community" is at the core of why we were created more than 70 years ago. We are proud to be "Teaming up" with the Oshawa Generals, and particularly proud that Michael Dal Colle, Cole Cassels and Scott Laughton will be scoring points on the ice and helping to build a better community for all as our "Scoring Ambassadors for the United Way".
On March 21, 2013 agencies, banks, businesses, school board members, counselors, mayors and volunteers gathered at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet facility to celebrate the close of the 2012 United Way campaign. Surpassing previous years, the final fundraising total was $3,879,043. This reflects a 5.19% growth in a year in which we experienced more speed bumps and head winds than we have typically encountered. It is a great accomplishment and we hope everyone is as proud of their hard work and contribution as we are grateful for it.
The 2012 Campaign for the United Way in Durham Region will mark the 72nd anniversary of service for the United Way in this community. While much has changed in the past 70+ years there are more than a few constants. Coming together as a community, in good times and in difficult times, to help those less advantaged is something we hope will never go out of fashion.

The General Motors Centre has been host to big names such as Elton John, the Wiggles, The Tragically Hip and Marianas Trench, but it is also the place you can go to take in sporting events like the Oshawa Generals hockey games, Durham TurfDogs and more!
The 4th annual Ride4UnitedWay was the biggest and most successful to date. It was a beautiful and sunny day (although a little hot), more than 400 cyclists took off from Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Centre in Bowmanville following a Police escort and a 2012 VW Passat as our pace car, and proceeded on courses ranging from 25K to 160K. All of the fund raising pledges are not yet in, but we are on pace to exceed our previous record of slightly more than fourty four thousand dollars in total.

We were thrilled with the enthusiasm and participation in this year's Durham Waterfront Community "Ride With the Mayor(s)". Fortunately the anticipated (and called for) rain did not appear, and we were able to enjoy the courses and the support of all of the volunteers on dry pavement and without resorting to rain gear! It was great to see the support of our local Mayors and Councillors who joined us.
more about Thank You! Mayor(s), Councillors, volunteers and all riders ...
The final steps in the process to create the United Way of Durham Region have now been completed. For more than 40 years there were two United Ways serving in Durham. (The United Way of Oshawa/Whitby was created 70 years ago. It later added the communities of Clarington and the townships of Brock & Scugog) About 40 years ago the Ajax/Pickering United Way was formed, and Uxbridge was added a number of years ago. The Boards of both United Ways, working with the enthusiastic support of the United Way of Canada voted to take the necessary steps to form a single United Way.
A note to site visitors about the "thought of the day" on the top of this page.
I have seen so much that I didn't know about the United Way and how much they do for people. I had heard of them as many of us have but I never really knew what they were all about. I spent my first week here researching and finding out they work with close to 50 agencies here in our community many in which I had heard of from school, some of which I didn't know worked with United Way at all…
Since January we have had a placement student work with us. She has been a hardworking, dedicated individual who wanted to experience the fundraising side of working in the social services. She has taken on many tasks such as event planning and donor relations. Please read more to see her final review of placing with the United Way. We will miss her!

Police in Wynnewood say a homeowner managed to grab a handgun and fire several shots at two suspects during a Thursday afternoon home invasion.
The son of the two victims tells FOX 29's Chris O'Connell his parents are okay.
The home invasion was reported at a home on the 1200 block of Remington Road around 1 p.m.
According to police, the couple heard as many as three men knock on their front door. When they didn't answer, the suspects forced their way in through the back door.
But investigators say the man had a gun and managed to fire at least four shots at the suspects.
Police say no one was injured.
It's believed the intruders got away in a white car.
The afternoon home invasion had neighbors in the area shaken. Residents describe their neighborhood as being very safe.
Over the past year, neighbors tell FOX 29 the property crimes seem to be on the upswing. Since March 1 alone, there have been at least 30 reported thefts and burglaries from Lower Merion Township homes.
It's the latest home invasion that has residents wondering if criminals are getting more brazen.
Police are still searching for either two or three men in the home invasion. Investigators say they only have a vague description of the suspects.
Mayor Michael Nutter says the city is already planning a celebration to honor the Dragons in the near future.

The year is 1929. New York is ruled by the Bright Young Things: flappers and socialites seeking thrills and chasing dreams in the anything-goes era of the Roaring Twenties.
Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey escaped their small Midwestern town for New York's glittering metropolis. All Letty wants is to see her name in lights, but she quickly discovers Manhattan is filled with pretty girls who will do anything to be a star. . . .
Cordelia is searching for the father she's never known, a man as infamous for his wild parties as he is for his shadowy schemes. Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imaginedand more dangerous. It's a life anyone would kill for . . . and someone will.
The only person Cordelia can trust is Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have it all: money, looks, and the love of Cordelia's brother, Charlie. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets.
Across the vast lawns of Long Island, in the illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls' fortunes will rise and falltogether and apart. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Luxe comes an epic new series set in the dizzying last summer of the Jazz Age.

The Associated Press
Indianapolis — Temperatures have fallen to more than 10 degrees below zero in parts of Indiana, with numerous school districts deciding to delay openings because of the cold.
The National Weather Service reports temperatures reaching 14 below zero early Tuesday in Fort Wayne and Lafayette, with subzero temperatures reaching well into the southern part of the state. Evansville is hovering in single digits above zero.
The weather service issued a wind chill advisory for part of the state. The agency warned of wind chills reaching 20 below zero, but light winds are limiting that impact.
The weather service is forecasting another morning of temperatures around zero or below for much of Indiana on Wednesday, with highs reaching to near 30 degrees or higher by Thursday.

|2009, 3rd round, 31st pick by Cardinals
Ravens acquire WR Boldin from Cardinals
The Ravens, in a bold move to bolster their passing offense, acquired Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin for third- and fourth-round picks in the 2010 draft.
Breaston, Doucet move up in Cardinals' WR pecking order
Although they didn't get the second-round pick they initially sought, the Cardinals traded WR Anquan Boldin to Baltimore on March 5, setting the stage for Steve Breaston to replace Boldin in the starting lineup and Early Doucet to become ...
Cardinals release Rolle; announce tenders
As expected, the Cardinals released starting FS Antrel Rolle Thursday afternoon, in addition to tendering one-year qualifying contract offers to five restricted free agents — WR Steve Breaston, starting ORG Deuce Lutui, TE Ben Patrick, starting C Lyle Sendlein and DT ...
NFC West team needs
With Marc Bulger showing that he was not the answer and having been released, the Rams desperately need to find a quarterback they can build their offense around. PFW continues its analysis of team needs with a look at the ...
Cardinals need Johnson to step up at safety
Should Cardinals starting FS Antrel Rolle split the scene, the onus will be on second-year player Rashad Johnson to really turn it up a notch in 2010.
Cardinals give Whisenhunt, Graves new contracts
The Arizona Republic reported late Thursday afternoon that the Cardinals have agreed to terms on new four-year contracts for both head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves that will run through 2013.
Cardinals name Henderson new DB coach
The Cardinals have announced that Donnie Henderson has been named the team's new defensive backs coach replacing Teryl Austin, who left to become the defensive coordinator at the University of Florida.
Dansby's numbers may not yield desired deal
In the first of a series of scouting reports analyzing 15 key players slated to become free agents March 5, we look at Cardinals ILB Karlos Dansby.
Cardinals name Robinson new RB coach
The Cardinals have announced the hiring of Tommie Robinson as the team's new running backs coach.
Boldin's exit could hurt Cardinals' morale
There would be a major downside should Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin be traded — the negative effect his departure would have on a locker room with more than a few players who, like Boldin, have major contract concerns.
Warner again proves to be class act
Looking like God's gift in a gray sports jacket and open-neck black shirt, Kurt Warner officially announced his retirement Friday afternoon at the Cardinals' headquarters after 12 seasons.
Warner announces retirement
It's official. Confirming steady rumors the last couple of weeks, Cardinals QB Kurt Warner has announced his retirement after 12 NFL seasons.
Warner's future in Arizona cloudy again
No, WWKD is not the desert's hottest new FM radio station. But it is a shortened version of the hottest question in Cardinals Nation: What Will Kurt Do?

The Cardinals have re-signed Johnson to a three-year contract.||||||| Johnson spent the last four seasons with the Cardinals and became a free agent after last season. The 2009 third-round draft pick out of Alabama is expected to start at strong safety after taking the job from Adrian Wilson late last season. Wilson, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, was released by Arizona last week. Johnson had a career-best two interceptions last season with 15 tackles and a fumble recovery in 15 games, three as a starter.
The Arizona Cardinals have signed third-round draft pick Rashad Johnson to a three-year contract.||||||| Johnson, a walk-on out of high school, was a leader of the powerful Crimson Tide defense and is expected to fight for the backup role behind Adrian Wilson and Antrel Rolle and for a spot in the Cardinals' nickel defense. Johnson was an Alabama captain as a junior and senior. He was second on the team in tackles with 89, 60 solos, along with five interceptions, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

2.73/5 rDev -30.5%
A- Poured a little hard and got about a 3/4" tan head on a pretty black body with some brown hues in there.
S- Some coffee notes hit the nose first. Some light roasted aromas, few grass notes and some lager yeast comes to mind. Metallic also comes through a bit.
T- There is a over whelming flavor of metallic in here. There are some light coffee notes but then just a swarm of metallic. I could see it being pretty decent if this metallic flavor to it wouldn't come in so strong. I have no clue how old this beer is since I just found it at some small mediterranean grocery store.
M- Thin to medium body with medium carbonation.
D- Like I said I have no clue how old this is but I could see this being decent fresh.

3.85/5 rDev -2%
Had to try this since I'd never had a Russian made beer before. It was good, if not great. The dark brown to black body was topped by a small, lack-luster tannish head. The scent was mainly of yeast, but I didn't smell some chocolate malts too. Decent malty taste. Not much hops, just chocolatey, roasted grains...relatively speaking since we're talking about a dark lager. I mean, this is no stout, so while the chocolatey malts are there, the favor is more subdued than your heavier, more flavorful beers. Having said that, this one had a decent mouthfeel and went down very easily with just a slight sourness from the yeast. It's a decent dark lager, on par with Dixie Brewing's Blackened Voodoo.

3.9/5 rDev -0.8%
A very dark beer in a clear bottle. Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers/honeysuckle). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A very dark beer in a clear bottle. Surprisingly nice punch of honeyish-flowery hops in the nose, which was unexpected. Nice balance. This is an actually decent, definitely drinkable, and doomed to be underrated because the flavor is just not as expected from a beer of this color.

3.93/5 rDev 0%
An interesting beer. Clear bottle (but that's OK, generally dark beers protect themselves from skunking; and honestly, there aren't that many hops in here anyway). The back label is in Engliah, and actually advertises that it's a twist-off cap! - although that didn't help me, for no matter how I tried, I couldn't get it free - I just grabbed an opener. The US Government Warning label is wrong (consumption is spelled consumtion), although the added-after-the-fact label applied to the other bottle I bought from them is worse ("Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive car...". :P Anyway...
Ochakovo's Premium Black Light pours a clear, very deep-brown almost black body with a ruby cast and crimson and mahogany highlights. Its full head of creamy dark tan froth rises up and then settles gently back in. The head retention is pretty good and it leaves some very nice lacing about the glass.
The nose is rich with grainy and ceral-like malt with a chocolaty and roasty side. Very nice!
In the mouth it's medium bodied with a gently zesty, median carbonation.
The flavor displays a fairly rich palate with notes of dark caramel, cereal, dark chocolate and coffee. It's clean, and obviously a lager as there's no yeasty fruitiness present. Bitterness is limited to a balancing role, and stays beneath the maltiness doing just enough to anchor it. It finishes drying, with some lingering sweetish malt and a healthy dose of roastiness that rounds it out and dries it. Quite nice!
Overall, this may very well be the best beer that I've had out of the Russian Federation. If you're a fan of schwarzbiers, or even porters, I'd say this is well worth trying!

3.95/5 rDev +0.5%
Poured in the glass this gives me a clear very dark brown beer with a brown head. I have never seen a dark lager with brown head before.
Despite the clear glass this has no trace of skunking at all. Slightly sweet with a good amount of patent malt in the nose this has a slight chocolate aroma. There is a little bit of spice cookie or cake scent in this one.
The taste begins sweet and chocolate flavored malt with no real aftertaste. There quickly develops a coffee candy and caramel taste to this beer with a bit of grassy hop after taste. After a bit the candy part of the equation falls away and you are left with coffee and chocolate and grassy hop flavor.
The mouthfeel is good and thicker than I would have thought.
Drinkability is quite nice. Who would have expected a good Schwarzbier from Russia? Tasty beer, just be sure you get it from a place that stores it's beer right.

4.08/5 rDev +3.8%
Impressive upward cascading bubbles on the initial pour. Starts with three fingers but settles to a thin beige level of fine bubbles. Spotty lace. Solid brown color where a touch of bright light can pass.
Lots of dark caramel aroma. Sweet. Reminds me of smelling molasses.
Much drier than the smell indicates, but there's still an element of melted brown sugar to the taste. There's also the presence of black patent burnt malt. Nice contrast. Appropriately thin body. Good carbonation. The finish is bitter. This is really a nice Black Lager.
05-18-2013 17:38:42 | More by smcolw
4.28/5 rDev +8.9%
16.9oz tall, slender, clear bottle. Poured into a pounder glass it forms a tan milky head that falls to a thin cover and an outer ring. Ruby red around the edges and black at the core.
Initial reaction was that this was a delightfully light and packs enough complexity to keep it interesting. Charred wood comes into play along with a partially smoked backend. A soft watered bakers chocolate layer combines with some toasty bread nuggets to settle this down. Plenty of bitterness that sort of "Spikes" around 3/4 of the way through then lends way to more smoke and finishes fairly clean.
Notes: Refreshing dark beer? Look no further. A diamond in the rough.

4.3/5 rDev +9.4%
A- Dark brown, almost black body, with a rich brown head. Head retention is poor, however. I got some nice lacing, nevertheless, since the beer was very fresh.
S- A very nice roasted aroma, with strong hints of coffee and chocolate.Some coffee notes hit the nose first. Some light floral aroma too.
T- Kicks in with a mocha chocolate malt flavour. You also taste some grassy hops and dark fruits here and there. All in all the flavour is quite complex, for such a light beer.
M- Light to medium bodied, quite smooth, with moderate to low carbonation.
D- Very drinkable and quite flavourful for a 3.9% beer. Good one.

Ochakovo Premium Black Light
1/2 liter bottle
Medium pour in a shaker
Unknown brewing, experienced 12/06
Poured a clear mahogany with an average fizzy light brown mostly diminishing head.
Smelt of strong molasses with light roast grain.
Taste was upfront strong sweet molasses and cola with moderate burnt grain taste followed by a moderate bitter sweet licorice and burnt grain taste on an average length finish. Palate was medium bodied, oily, softly carbonated and moderately astringent.
Overall, although not being too familiar with Schwarzbiers, I think this is a great beer overall. It reminds me of a lagered porter with lighter grain properties.

Following the Money
Quarterly E-News from the National Institute on Money in State Politics
Fall 2010
In This Issue:
- New! Point of Influence
- My District upgrades
- Great Collaboration
- Timely Research Reports
- FollowTheMoney.org in the National News
- Get Out the (Informed) Vote
- Help Spread the Word
See where your candidate's campaign money comes from. Decide for yourself whether campaign contributions influence your legislator's point of view. Launched today, the Institute's brand new "Point of Influence" overlays contribution data with legislative districts. This new mapping tool pinpoints the district-level location of contributors to candidates for state office. No one else provides this visual display of vital information. See for yourself: Point of Influence
My District is among the most-used tools on FollowTheMoney.org, so we are paying attention. Our new features have furthered the accuracy and quality of content, including contributions from people in your own district. This is terrific information, highly relevant to state campaigns. Check it out: My District
We love working with other groups! MAPLight.org has launched a new research tool made possible by using data from FollowTheMoney.org. This tool tracks campaign contributions to California assembly members and senators in the California State Legislature, with an emphasis on special interest groups.
Summer of 2010 brought a lot of interesting news items and anomalies that caught our attention. The Institute issued these research reports since our last newsletter:
Names in the News: David and Charles Koch
The owners of the largest private company in the United States have a history of giving millions of dollars in political donations. Between 2005 and 2009, brothers David and Charles Koch and Koch Industries gave $2.6 million in direct political contributions, with 81 percent of that going to Republican campaigns.
The New Politics of Judicial Elections
Co-authored with Justice at Stake Campaign and the Brennan Center for Justice. State judicial elections have been transformed during the past decade. The story of America's 2000-2009 high court contests--tens of millions of dollars raised by candidates from parties who may appear before those very judges, millions more poured in by interest groups, nasty and misleading ads, and pressure on judges on the campaign trial to signal courtroom ruling--has become the new norm. For more than a decade, special interests of all stripes have been growing more organized in their efforts to use elections to tilt the scales of justice their way. Many Americans have come to fear that justice is for sale.
Gun Rights Advocates Outgun Opposition Contributions
Gun rights advocates won several important victories in the past year, crowned with the Supreme Court's decision, in late June, that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual's right to keep arms in the home. As well, several states recently passed gun-friendly legislation. Take a deeper look at the money poured into this issue.
Names in the News: Gov. Joe Manchin
Hours after signing legislation that set up a special election to fill the remaining two years of the late U.S. Senator Robert Byrd's term, West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, III announced on July 20 that he would run in the race. Manchin, a Democrat, has dominated campaign fundraising in the past and handily won elections in 2000, 2004, and 2008. If these trends from his state races continue into his U.S. Senate campaign, he will certainly be a powerful contender.
The Efficacy of Self-Funding a Political Campaign
Whitman and Fiorina take note: while candidates with big war chests hold a significant advantage over their opponents, the advantage is diffused when most of the money comes from a candidate's own pockets. The traditional advantages of being the top fundraiser in a race, or being an incumbent, don't confer the same level of success to self-financiers, regardless of political party. In fact, in the last nine years, only 11 percent of self-financed candidates won their races. Early primary results in 2010 show this trend may be continuing.
Petroleum Contributions Gush Over the Gulf States
If political donations and lobbying efforts serve as a gauge of influence and commitment, oil plays a significant role in Gulf-state politics. Oil companies advocated strongly for themselves long before the Deepwater tragedy and likely will continue to do so--and to drill.
ARRA Contracts and State Political Contributions
A diverse "Who's Who" of American organizations and corporations received billions of dollars in contracts from the federal government under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The National Institute on Money in State Politics examined possible relationships between these contracts, as well as campaign contributions to state-level candidates and committees.
FollowTheMoney.org in the National News
Journalists and bloggers around the country repeatedly turn to FollowTheMoney.org to get the best state campaign finance data in the country. Check out these five high-profile articles that relied on Institute data and reports since our last newsletter:
CBS news 10/14/10
Who Is Bankrolling the Ballot? There are citizens' intitiatives in 24 states that have no limits on contributions. In 2008, some special interests spent more on ballot intitiatives than on congressional and presidential races combined. Find out who they were and what they supported.
New Hampshire Public Radio 10/05/10
Ad Buildup in Race for Governor. People who watch TV are witnessing the beginning of a political ad war. Not only are gubernatorial candidates airing commercials, but several outside groups are, too. Find out what the Institute's research director has to say about why there's a lot of interest in gubernatorial races this cycle.
New York Times 09/24/10
Voters Moving to Oust Judges over Decisions. Supreme Court justices on the ballot this year are targets of a well-financed campaign to oust them.

Lawmakers In Most States Have Litte Control Over Healthcare Permiums. As Americans struggle with double-digit hikes in their health insurance bills, millions are coming up against a hard reality: The state regulators who are supposed to protect them can often do little to control what insurers are charging.

I remember when I was a kid and going to the Stanleys in Cuero, pestering my Mom for popeyes spinach because the can had a picture of popeye on it. But when Mom served it, Forget it.....I wasn't eatin that mush if my life depended on it(come to think of it, My life did depend on it after making such a big deal about having to have it!!!!!January 27, 2010 at 5:02 p.m.
When the Popeye cartoon first hit the public my dad drew the sailor's image on his baseball sweatshirt. In that locality he was Popeye to untold numbers of citizens until he died.January 19, 2010 at 10:37 p.m.
