Humberto Martinez had no idea what he'd be doing with several yards of green fabric he found in the Logansport Mall's storage room.
You wouldn't know it to look at the mall's decor now.
"I see them all the time," said Beverly Brown of the mall decorations. She's a regular at the mall, where she walks loops around the central corridors for exercise. "They always look nice. People need to come out and see them. They don't know what they're missing."
Although she's not well acquainted with Martinez, who has lately been in charge of the mall's decoration, she says he's talented — and friendly.
"He knows everybody," said Brown. "He's a friendly guy."
And at Christmas, she added, he did an excellent job.
Martinez, a custodial employee at the mall, was recently tasked with decorating the mall's display cases and center hall for St. Patrick's Day and Easter. It's a duty that mall representative Teresa Short gave him last summer after he joined the mall staff.
"He was going through kind of a difficult time, so I thought it would keep his mind busy," said Short, who's worked at the mall for the last 11 years.
It did more than that. It gave Martinez an outlet for a long-developing decorating talent.
Martinez, who with his brother Cecilio Martinez moved to Logansport about five years ago, works about 25 hours a week at the mall, dust-mopping floors, taking out the garbage, shoveling snow and spreading salt in the winters.
He also works part time at D&R Fruit Market and decorates for various special occasions and at the bakery his brother Cecilio owns, Country Bakery on South Sixth Street.
Martinez, 45, started decorating when he worked as a gas
station attendant in Chicago several years ago. One slow night, he took several helium balloons that were for sale and started arranging them into balloon bouquets. At a time when such bouquets were popular, the gas station started selling several. Then as Valentine's Day approached, Martinez began filling small decorative containers with gift items.
After some time, "we turned half of the gas station into a gift shop," he said.
The station later won a soda brand's decoration contest based on a window display Martinez had arranged "just for fun." It's how he got his first car, he said — the first prize for the contest.
After moving to Logansport, he began decorating for friends' social celebrations.
"They always asked me, 'Why don't you start a business?'" he recounted. "It just comes naturally. I thank God for it."
At the mall, Short said she lets Martinez have his own way with the decorations. He started with a pile of green tablecloths the mall has used in the past for special events.
"Whenever I get inspired, I just need to have something in front of me," said Martinez.
Those tablecloths — and a little unseen rope — became a pair of cocktail dresses adorning dressmaker's dummies in two windows on the west side of the mall.
"Probably it didn't take me more than 5 minutes to start with that," said Martinez, motioning to a "skirt" fashioned from a folded tablecloth and a piece of rope cinching the waist. "As soon as I put the first piece on the dress, I knew what I wanted to do."
He used another piece of rope to cinch the makeshift dress bodice at the neckline, pulling the leftover fabric out to form an asymmetrical, ruffled collar.
Once Martinez is inspired, he works based on his "vision," he explained. "I can see what I'm doing. It's just like having a picture in your head."
Sometimes an idea mushrooms, too. He occasionally makes several trips between a window display and storage areas, tracking down pieces he can use or repurpose for a display.
"Things don't stop me
because I don't have them," Martinez said. He improvises
and tries to reuse as much
as possible.
"I'm like, well, I can create things with what we have. We don't need to spend the money."
That's how he created "Bunny Land," the garden scene where the Easter Bunny is welcoming children this month. He began by hanging pieces of artificial snow batting from the ceiling as clouds. Some passers-by identified animal shapes in the clouds.
"When I was putting them up, I was remembering my childhood," said Martinez, when he'd lay out in the grass and pick out animal shapes from among the clouds overhead.
Other elements of Bunny Land were repurposed, too.
A flower cart was formerly an information kiosk elsewhere in the mall. Martinez created a fountain using a mass of cellophane wrapping. Even the boulders lining the Easter Bunny's garden were made using packing paper from one of the mall's tenants and some brown paint.
All told, Short said Martinez spent less than $20 on materials for Bunny Land — including mulch that Martinez says he's taking chances with, hoping children won't make a mess of it.
"If you don't risk it, you don't know what's going to happen," he shrugged.
Other mall walkers said they appreciate the decoration at the mall.
"We come up here and walk and I think that they're innovative," said Delores Binder, who walks regularly with her husband, Gregory Binder, and with Lisa Powell. "There's so much space to cover and I think they do a fantastic job."
"We always comment on the cleverness," added Powell.
Martinez said he's overheard comments of that sort before.
"I don't want to turn around and say 'thank you,'" he said. "I just can't."
But he appreciates hearing it just the same.

Grapevine: It's in the genes
Sciences Po reaches out to former students here, the International Women's Club visits Nazareth and Prof. Moshe Rosman wins a second National Jewish Book Award.
There's one snag. If Avner does make it to the finals, there may be a need to change the rules. Traditionally, the prime minister poses a question, but if he asks a question that other contestants find difficult but Avner answers correctly, the media will have a field day about nepotism and will accuse him of having told his son what the question would be. To make life easier all round, it's possible that the prime minister may not pose a question this year.
It's almost in the cards that Avner will succeed. It's a genetic thing. His three maternal uncles were each Bible Quiz champions, and his mother might have been, had it not been for the Yom Kippur War, which prevented the preliminary heats of the Bible Quiz from being held. Amatzia Ben-Artzi came second in the International Youth Bible Quiz; Matanya Ben-Artzi won the national Bible Quiz at age 10; and Hagai Ben-Artzi won the International Youth Bible Quiz. Avner's maternal grandfather Shmuel Ben-Artzi is a celebrated teacher of Bible and also wrote a Bible quiz textbook.
But even before basking in any of Avner's future victories, the Netanyahu family has to set about planning a very special celebration, the 100th birthday of the prime minister's father, noted historian Benzion Netanyahu, whose centenary year begins on March 25.
FORMER PRIME Minister Ehud Olmert is having a great social life since leaving office, and the business community appears to have taken him to its bosom. Olmert will be the star attraction on Sunday evening February 14, at Tel Aviv University's Business-Academic Club, where he will review what has happened in the country in the year since the last Knesset elections. Coincidentally, although the Knesset annually celebrates its anniversary on Tu Bishvat, February 14, 1949 was the date on which the first Knesset was convened.
Olmert is the guest of TAU President Joseph Klafter and Amos Shapira, chairman of the Friends of TAU. Among those who have indicated their attendance are Alrov chairman Alfred Akirov, Makhteshim Agan chairman Avraham Biger, Steimatzky CEO Iris Barel, Tsomet Books CEO Ami Shumar, Hamashibir chairman Rami Shavit, El Al CEO Eliezer Shkedi and Sheba Medical Center general manager Ze'ev Rotstein. Most of the same people will meet again on the following evening at the Israel Museum for a fund-raising gala on behalf of the Council for a Beautiful Israel, which is seeking to finance its environmental education programs.
ITALIAN PRIME Minister Silvio Berlusconi is known to have an eye for a pretty woman, and he also has a healthy respect for religion. This may account for his display of both within the space of less than half a minute at the close of a luncheon that President Shimon Peres hosted in his honor last week.
As he was exiting the banquet hall, Berlusconi bent and kissed the hand of Papal Nuncio Archbishop Antonio Franco, and then turned around to shake the hand of the exotic looking and ultra-fashionably attired Dalit Kool, who is the events organizer at Beit Hanassi. "Fantastica!" he exclaimed as he traced her silhouette in the air behind her.
At the start of the luncheon Peres told Berlusconi: "You are the most sunlit leader I have ever met. When the sun shines, it radiates on things that are positive and you are the same. You bring joy and hope and courage. It's irrelevant what they write in the newspapers – the Italians continue to vote for you. It seems they have good taste."
Peres also commended Italy for its large and long serving UNIFIL contingent in Lebanon, and for the humanitarian aid that it has provided for the Palestinians.
Berlusconi said that it was very difficult for him to respond adequately to the sentimental and poetic words. But so as not to distance himself entirely from Peres's poetry, he said, alluding to the CD which features different musical interpretations of the poem "Ray of Hope" that was authored by Peres, "I'll send you a CD of 100 songs that I wrote." He then paused as his audience burst into laughter.
All of Berlusconi's remarks to Peres and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and theirs to him, had to be made through interpreter Mayana Corinaldi, who kept moving backward and forward along the head table to be the translating voice for whoever was speaking.
It is customary for visiting heads of state or of government to deliver their addresses in their own language, but they usually have English as a common language in which to converse with their hosts. It would seem that Berlusconi does not speak English, although this was not a problem for Channel 2 news anchor Yonit Levy, who chatted to him in Italian.
A place had been set at the head table for Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman who backed out at the last minute. Neither Foreign Ministry protocol personnel nor Beit Hanassi's spokeswoman knew the reason for his absence.
FOR SINGER Rita, it was an incredibly exciting week. On Wednesday she sang for Berlusconi and on Thursday she sang for Zubin Mehta at the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra's tribute to him in celebration of his 50 years with the IPO and 30 years as its artistic director.
IT IS almost ironic that the Russian authorities have torpedoed the plans of Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky to hold the meeting of the agency's Board of Governors in St. Petersburg later this month, forcing its relocation to Jerusalem. It just so happens that Sharansky this week celebrates the 24th anniversary of his initial arrival here following his release from Soviet incarceration on February 11, 1984.
IN PAST years veteran journalist Diana Lerner, whose byline has appeared in numerous publications here and abroad, including The Jerusalem Post, used to spend her birthday with the friends of her youth in New York. This year, following a serious operation, she decided to stay in Tel Aviv to celebrate not only her birthday, but also her recovery. Lerner and some of her relatives, friends and colleagues took over Café Café on the corner of Ben-Yehuda and Arlozorov for a birthday brunch that continued into the late afternoon.
Lerner is one of the colorful characters of Tel Aviv and can seldom walk down the street without bumping into people who recognize her. She was so much appreciated by many editors as a journalist who could see a story in just about any situation, that they overlooked the extraordinary number of typing errors that punctuated her copy.
In fact, one of her nieces, Toby Atlas, wrote a poem in which she noted that Lerner's script was unreadable and "your prose is at its ripest with help from a typist." In this computer age, Lerner, who has never mastered one, has to turn to her nieces for help, because editors expect clean copy.
A long time fashion and beauty writer before she embraced additional subjects, Lerner interviewed such icons as Helena Rubinstein, Pauline Trigere and Donna Karan, and treasures a three-strand pearl necklace that was given to her by Rubinstein. Several of her interviewees, among them singer Yaffa Yarkoni, gave her gifts of jewelry because they loved her style. Among the guests at her party were Batsheva Tsur, Penina Peri, Ruth Seligman, Zipporah Porath, David Rich, Renee Singer, Tsipi Saltzberg, Sarah Shapira, Rachel Talitman and Hadassah Mor.
EVEN THOUGH it was somewhat chilly on the terrace of the Jaffa residence of French Ambassador Christophe Bigot last week, no one seemed to mind. The small group of French-speaking Israelis was too busy playing the "do you remember" game and sipping the excellent French champagne provided by Bigot who was hosting alumni of the Paris Institute of Political Studies – Sciences Po for the initiated – one of the world's most prestigious universities, ranked more or less on par with Oxford in England and Yale in the US.
The occasion? After a long hiatus, Sciences Po was reaching out to its former students here and the ambassador – both a former student and professor there – had volunteered his home. In the country's early years, there had been a sizable Israeli presence in the school. There were no tuition fees, and affordable accommodations and subsidized meals were available.
Among the first Israeli graduates was the late Yehuda Horam, who went on to be ambassador to Korea, Switzerland and Sweden. He graduated from Sciences Po in 1951. The late Eliahu Ben-Elissar, who was the first ambassador to Egypt, after which he served as ambassador to the US and France, graduated in 1955. Another distinguished graduate, Meir Rosenne, class of 1953, and also a former ambassador to the US and France, was not present, but Michael Bavly, class of '61, former ambassador to the Netherlands and today representative of UN High Commissioner for Refugees, was there, as was Zvi Mazel, former ambassador to Rumania, Egypt and Sweden and today a fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs who graduated with the class of '63. It was at Sciences Po that Mazel met his French-born wife Michelle, who graduated in 1961.
The various alumni stood reminiscing with fellow student Michael Bar-Zohar, well known author and former MK, class of '61, and Yohanan Manor, class of '63, who was for many years in charge of information at the Jewish Agency and is now chairman of the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Tolerance in Culture Education.
On the French side was Christophe Linden, head of the International Relations Desk at Sciences Po, who said he was happy to announce that Israeli students were now coming back and that students from that venerable institution were presently here within the framework of an exchange program, and that Prof. Astrid von Busekist, also present, was currently teaching in the Political Science Department at Tel Aviv University.
SOUTH AFRICAN and Zimbabwean (Rhodesian) expatriates who missed out on paying their last respects to Leib Frank, who passed away a month ago at 91, will have the opportunity to do so at the consecration of his tombstone on Friday at the Kfar Shmaryahu cemetery. Frank served from 1962-1979 as the director of the South African Zionist Federation, now known as Telfed. One of his four children, the late David Frank, was for several years a member of the editorial staff of The Jerusalem Post.
While still in South Africa, Leib Frank was one of the founding members of Hashomer Hadati, which was the forerunner of Bnei Akiva. In 1940, together with many other Jewish youths, he volunteered for the South African army to fight the Nazis. He was severely wounded and lost a leg. After returning to Johannesburg, he married Rachel (Luffy) Josephson. In 1949, Frank was appointed director of the Rhodesian Zionist Federation, in which capacity he hosted Moshe Dayan and Moshe Sharett.
In 1961, he finally realized a long-cherished dream and settled here. A year later, he became the director of what was to become Telfed and was instrumental in making the absorption process of many immigrants from South Africa and Rhodesia much easier. His interest in South African immigrants remained steadfast even after his retirement, and he found ways of helping them through the various boards on which he served. Frank's two surviving children are Lironne Bar-Sadeh, a diplomat currently serving in Italy, and Gillam Keinan, director of Foreign Investments at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. He is also survived by eight grandchildren.
SEEING ISRAEL in its many facets is among the prime activities of the International Women's Club, whose local members try to expose their foreign colleagues to a broad spectrum of the Israeli experience, especially in the case of new members who have only recently arrived in the country. Sometimes their work is made easier by invitations from establishments eager to promote themselves. This was the case with the Golden Crown Hotel in Nazareth which was interested both in promoting the city as a tourist destination and in showing the IWC what it has to offer in terms of facilities, food and service.
Hotel general manager Miki Swartz hosted 45 members of the IWC including Janet Olissa, the wife of the Nigerian ambassador, who has been making her farewells for more than half a year while awaiting instructions from her country's Foreign Ministry. The popular Olissas are due to leave in March. The women toured the city, visiting the Mount of the Annunciation and Mary's Well. They also planned to visit at least one Muslim site, but spent so much time at a fascinating spice store in the market that they had to leave for their next visit. At the hotel, they were feted to the extent that they could barely rise from their chairs to get back on the bus to Tel Aviv. They kept on eating because the food kept on coming. Each time they thought that the meal was finished, another delicacy appeared, which nearly everyone wanted to at least taste.
This was particularly difficult for Nobuko Takeuchi, wife of the Japanese ambassador, who was going to Jerusalem for dinner that night, and for Leslie Cunningham, wife of the US ambassador, who was also going out to dinner. Among the others present were Nahla El Shimy, the wife of the Egyptian ambassador, and relative newcomers Nida Degutiene, the wife of the Lithuanian ambassador; Judith Standley, the wife of the ambassador of the European Union; and Carmen Borg, the wife of the ambassador of Malta. The Israelis included Daniella Oren, Sali Ariel, Yaffa Weinberg, Paulette Ben-Haim and Grace de la Rosa, the wife of the former ambassador of Colombia who now lives here.
The group was also addressed by Nazareth Mayor Ramez Jeraisy, whose remarks contained political content. IWC President Margarita Stegny, the wife of the Russian ambassador, had to gently remind him that the IWC is an apolitical organization.
A VERY active member of the IWC during the period in which her husband served as US ambassador, Sheila Kurtzer is arguably the diplomatic community's most frequent flyer back to Israel. She's in and out several times a year and was back last week to attend the Herzliya Conference and to look up relatives and old friends.
IT'S NOT often that someone wins the same prestigious prize on more than one occasion. Among the exceptions to the rule is Prof. Moshe Rosman, of Bar-Ilan University's Koschitzky Department of Jewish History, who at a ceremony in New York City on March 9 will receive the prestigious 2009 National Jewish Book Award presented by the Jewish Book Council. The award is for Rethinking European Jewish History, a book he coedited with Prof. Jeremy Cohen, of Tel Aviv University. The book was selected "as the best written, most comprehensive and engaging book" in the category of anthologies and collections, according to the panel of judges. It looks at the Jewish past in Europe in light of the major cultural, ideological and social changes which occurred over the past century. The work was published by the Littman Library of Jewish Civilization.
This is the second National Jewish Book Award to be conferred on Rosman. In 1996 he received the award, in the history category, for his book Founder of Hassidism: A Quest for the Historical Baal Shem Tov. The Hebrew version of the book received the prestigious Zalman Shazar Prize. Rosman is currently on sabbatical as a visiting professor at Yale University. Prior to his return later this year, he will spend time at the University of Wroclaw in Poland and at Leipzig University in Germany.

Centennial High School
FRISCO — Frisco police have arrested a teenager from Centennial High School. The student is accused of making a threat over Twitter.
Police said the threat potentially jeopardized the safety of the school environment.
Investigators are unsure whether the student had the means to carry out the threat, but Frisco police said they take all such threats seriously.
The student is a juvenile, so no name was released and no additional information was provided.

The Otsego County Conservation Association is seeking nominations for its annual Conservationist of the Year award. The award will be given to an individual, citizens' group or grassroots organization, governmental body, nonprofit organization with 501 (c)(3) standing or a business that has made a positive difference in environmental protection, preservation or education in Otsego County.
Nominations must be submitted by Oct. 4. The award will be presented at the OCCA annual dinner and meeting, date and location to be announced.
In regard to nominations of individuals, preference will be given to nominees residing in Otsego County. Environmental professionals are not eligible to be nominated based on achievements accomplished for their compensated employment. Businesses cannot be nominated for a profit-making enterprise. Areas of interest for nomination are water quality protection and improvement, wetland preservation, stream improvement, stream, lake or river clean-ups, riparian buffer or tree plantings, recycling efforts, non-motorized open-space recreation enhancement, land-use planning efforts, or soil conservation efforts. Other areas of environmental endeavor may also be considered.
Nominations may be made by individuals, citizens' groups or grassroots organizations, governmental bodies, nonprofit organizations with 501 (c)(3) standing or businesses.
A special OCCA committee will review nominations and designate the OCCA Conservationist of the Year. The decision of the committee will be final.
No monetary award will be given to the recipient of the award. However ,the recipient(s) will be the guests of OCCA at its annual dinner and will be publicly recognized at this event. A press release will be issued announcing the recipient, and an announcement will appear in "The Lookout," OCCA's quarterly newsletter.
"Conservation efforts often go unrecognized," said OCCA Executive Director Darla M. Youngs in a media release. "This is a great opportunity to draw attention to good works recently completed or underway countywide."

Good for LeBron James. Good for Cleveland. Bad for Thomas Wolfe.
Wolfe, of course, was the famous Tar Heel writer who popularized the phrase: You cant go home again.
LeBron, of course, is the famous basketball player who now will attempt to do just that. Cleveland fans are trying to figure out how to un-burn their LeBron jerseys, and now it is Miamis turn to feel spurned.
After four years with the Miami Heat, LeBron comes home to the state where he first drew national attention in high school and then began his sterling NBA career with the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was the only place he could go where he wouldnt have been perceived as a mercenary. It was the only place he could go to close the circle.
And, most importantly, it was the one place he could go that would make him the happiest.
Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. Its where I walked, James told SI.com in a thoughtful essay in which he announced his decision a reveal that was far different from that misguided televised spectacle on ESPN four years ago when he said he was going to take his talents to Miami.
Its where I ran, James wrote of his home state. Its where I cried. Its where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like Im their son. Their passion can be overwhelming. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when I can. I want to inspire them when I can.
He will have dazzling point guard Kyrie Irving with him in Cleveland, but the rest of the team is largely an unknown quantity. Although Las Vegas sports books immediately made Cleveland the favorite to win the 2015 NBA title, I dont think that will happen. It will take LeBron at least a season or two to get the Cavaliers where he wants them and to get the right teammates he wants to surround him.
For the Charlotte Hornets, this doesnt change much. LeBron is up north instead of down south, but he remains in the Eastern Conference. The Hornets will have to contend with Cleveland now but Miami the team that swept the Hornets out of the 2014 playoffs in four straight games will be far less of a threat and may not even make the playoffs.
What I like about this most is LeBron did what he wanted while also returning to his roots. And I like that he has forgiven Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, who wrote the sort of angry letter a teenager would write to the first love who dumped him when LeBron left.
Gilbert called LeBron all sorts of things in that letter, including a coward, and made the silly prediction that Cleveland would win an NBA title before LeBron did. Instead, LeBron won two titles in Miami and Cleveland has done basically nothing well other than win the NBA lottery over and over.
But LeBron talked it out with Gilbert, got it solved and didnt let that stand in the way of his homecoming.
I first saw LeBron play when he was still in high school, when I made a pilgrimage to Akron to watch him after covering a Carolina Panthers game in Cleveland. He was 6-foot-8, 240 pounds even then just like he is now and he could have scored 60. Instead, he was content with scoring 21 points, grabbing 14 rebounds, passing the ball constantly to teammates and doing a series of on-court pushups when he violated his coachs no-cursing rule.
He was a prodigy then. He is a man now actually The Man, not only in the NBA but in the sporting world. And like so many men, LeBron has decided around the age of 30 (he will turn that later this year) that he wants to come home.
I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously, James said in the SI.com story. My presence can make a difference in Miami, but I think it can mean more where Im from.
I think hes right.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Chris Roenbeck, after hitting two booming home runs earlier in the game, didn't hit the ball nearly as far in his final at bat Monday.
But, it had even more importance as his two-out, two-run walk-off single gave the Clinton County Senior Mariners' an 8-7 win over the Burlington Lynx at Lefty Wilson Field.
The Mariners (6-3) rallied from an early 6-1 deficit to tie the contest before the Lynx regained the lead in the top of the seventh.
"After falling behind the way we did, it was a great character win for us," Mariners coach Matt Tolosky said. "Burlington swung the bats well."
The Mariners trailed, 6-4, in the sixth inning when Tanner Rascoe walked and Roenbeck followed with a two-run blast to tie the game.
But in the seventh, the Lynx got a one-out walk and that was it for Mariners' reliever Ryan Meyer, who had taken over with one out in the second inning.
Reliever Brandon Rabideau allowed a one-out single, but Jake Richards made a nice play at first base to get the second out, holding the runners at second and third. A wild pitch, however, allowed the lead run to score before Rabideau avoided further trouble by getting a strikeout.
"Ryan Meyer gave us a great performance in long relief," Tolosky said. "He kept us in the game and gave us an opportunity to win."
In the bottom of the seventh, the Mariners loaded the bases with nobody out on a walk to Rabideau, a bunt single by Jeremy Barber and a walk to Robby Knowles. But a strikeout and infield pop to second brought the Lynx to within one out of the win. With the outfield playing deep with good reason, Roenbeck sent a two-strike fly ball to center that fell in to drive in the tying and winning runs.
"I really believe our hitting is going to come around," Tolosky said. "You saw part of that tonight with Chris, who was phenomenal."
Roenbeck, who finished with five RBI, added a solo homer in the second. In the third, Clinton County cut its deficit to 6-4 with three runs on a walk to Adam Goldfarb and singles by Knowles, Logan Recor and Rascoe.
Roenbeck led the Mariners with three hits, while seven other Clinton County players each had a hit.
"Chris had a huge game, but we were also able to get contributions from different players throughout the lineup and that's the way we've envisioned it," Tolosky said.
"Defensively, Mitchell Cunningham played a great game at third base."
The Mariners return to the diamond today with a 6 p.m. game at the Norfolk Rovers.
Mariners 8, Lynx 7

METAIRIE, La. – It is a hug that only two mothers can fully comprehend.
"You have this family picture that is no longer real. It's different, it's not what it was," is how Andrea Blakemore explains the loss.
In May 2005, her child Dougie, a spunky, athletic 4-year-old boy, was hit and killed by a car. His liver was transplanted into a young Japanese boy, saving his life.
Recently, the Japanese family flew to Louisiana for a surreal meeting with the people who provided their son his second chance, through an organ donation.
The Japanese family is very private and didn't want to be interviewed or have their faces shown. The Blakemores couldn't believe they would have the chance to see in person what their son had passed on.
"It is exhilarating," Andrea said. "I can't even express the words. We get to experience a miracle. It's the most amazing gift of life."
The young man brought with him a note for the Blakemores, in hopes of expressing his gratitude and sorrow for what they lost.
"This is a family heirloom," Doug Blakemore told him. "We'll pass it down to our families."
The Blakemores reassured him not to feel the guilt that naturally comes with a situation like this.
"We lost one, and you gained one, and we're happy for that," Doug Blakemore told the family. "Our whole family is very, very happy for you. We're very happy that he's alive and looks like he's doing pretty good."
A Japanese film crew accompanied the family to Louisiana, documenting their story with the hopes of encouraging more organ donors.
And although they didn't speak each other's language, the two families shared pictures and stories. The Blakemores told their new friends stories of who little Dougie was, content in their hearts that he lives on in another, half a world away.

Khajuraho, Shaivite Temple, Lady and Lion
Khajuraho is a famous tourist and archaeological site known for its sculptured temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and Jain patriarchs.
It has become synonymous with erotic sculptures, and is known to many as just a place of erotic displays in stone. Here is a close-up view of a lady and a lion.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Five innings and 75 pitches. That's how long Giants ace Matt Cain lasted in Game 1 of his club's Division Series against the Cincinnati Reds. Cain wasn't terrible, but he did give up three runs: the first two coming on Brandon Phillips' two-run homer, the third on Jay Bruce's mammoth solo blast. So with the Giants down 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth and Cain due to lead off, manager Bruce Bochy pulled the plug, replacing Cain with pinch-hitter Aubrey Huff.
Huff, who batted just .192 in 78 at-bats all season, lifted an easy fly to center field. Angel Pagan followed with a single to left, though. But Marco Scutaro hit into a fielder's choice, and Pablo Sandoval hit a higher hopper to Phillips, who made a fancy bare-handed grab before throwing Panda out.
So after five innings, the Reds own a 3-0 lead. It's not a huge lead, but on the other hand Cincinnati's got a fantastic bullpen, capped by Aroldis Chapman. It's not late, exactly. But it's getting there.

It's been a trying past year-plus for Alistair Overeem. He was so close to the top of the heavyweight mountain top after pounding Brock Lesnar into retirement, having earned a title shot against then division champion Junior dos Santos. Then he failed a drug test, lost a ton of credibility amongst the mixed martial arts (MMA) fan base, and nearly damaged his relationship with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White beyond repair.
Time really does heal all wounds, though, and now that he's served his suspension and passed all drug tests in the meanwhile, the fight game is welcoming him back with open arms.
In fact, his bout later on this evening (Feb. 2, 2013) at UFC 156: "Aldo vs. Edgar" at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, against Antonio Silva is a number one contender bout. If he wins, he'll set up a date with Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez sometime later this year.
Suffice it to say he's not lacking confidence:
"I know I'm a better fighter. The fight will probably end in one or two rounds, I'm going to raise my hands after, and he's just going to be a number on my list; a statistic. I want to finish him in the first round. I have the power to knock Bigfoot out for a long, long time. I expect Bigfoot to try to take this fight to the ground. I believe that I have the advantage if the fight goes to the ground. I'm better in the stand up, I'm better in the ground, I have more knockout wins, more submission wins... I'm better in every aspect and I'm going to show that on Feb. 2 in Vegas."
Let's not sell his opponent short. Silva was last seen nearly decapitating Travis Browne at UFC on FX 5 in Minnesota and while he may have struggled against the elite of the division in bouts against Daniel Cormier and the previously mentioned Velasquez, how can we be sure Overeem is truly elite yet?
"Bigfoot" believes a win here would put him back in that company:
"For me, everything is at stake in this fight. This fight will put me among the UFC's elite. For me, it's very important to be among the best, and fight in the UFC. Overeem's stand up is quite dangerous. He's quite technical and is also very strong. In no way do I feel intimidated by his size. I weigh 282 pounds like him. I believe in me, I believe in my stand up game. I believe in my jiu-jitsu and I don't fear him at all. I respect him as a professional but I don't fear him. I do not expect him to want to take this fight to the ground. He is a striker and that would be stupid. I'm a jiu-jitsu black belt athlete. UFC fans have not seen my best yet. I'm improving every day. I'm correcting my mistakes and I'm looking to improve everything. Overeem will see the best of Bigfoot. Not only can I defeat Overeem, I will beat Overeem."
There's a lot at stake for both fighters, making this a highly intriguing contest. Plus, one of these men may not ever be the same by the time all is said and done inside the cage.
What more do you need to get hyped for this one?
Remember that MMAmania.com will provide LIVE round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage of the UFC 156 main card action on fight night (Sat., Feb. 2, 2013), which is slated to air at 10 p.m. ET on pay-per-view (PPV). The latest quick updates of the live action will begin to flow earlier than that around 6:30 p.m. ET with the "Prelims" bouts on Facebook and FX Channel.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Start this route from the right-hand side of the south face of the Lower Triangle (not on the ramp). You basically head up nebulous terrain for about 25 feet until you get to the obvious left-leaning hand crack. This crack peters out near the top of the triangle save for a little pod that allows some decent finger locks. The crux is pulling over onto the apex.
I believe I used a #0.75 Camalot, a #1 Camalot, and a #0.5 Camalot, in that order. Overall, the pro is satisfactory, and there's certainly room to place more than what I listed.

GREEN BAY (WAOW) - The Rafters split a pair of pitching duels, both by a 3-2 score, in a double header Thursday in Green Bay, winning the first, losing the second.
After six innings in game one the Rafters had yet to score despite seven hits. But hit number eight turned the tide. Michael Smith drove the first pitch of the seventh inning deep to left-center field to tie the game at one. The Rafters picked up two more in the inning on an RBI double by Evan Laude. Starter George Lott retired two batters in the seventh before Steve Godawa nailed down the final out of a 3-2 win.
Before his North Florida teammate picked him up with the big blast, a single run in the sixth for the Bullfrogs had Lott staring at a tough luck loss. The right hander pitched out of trouble in the third and limited the damage in the sixth, before completing six and two thirds innings on the night. He struck out five Bullfrogs on the night.
Lott had his entire arsenal at his disposal on the night to carry him close to a complete seven. "All night I could throw anything off speed for a strike any time I wanted," Lott said. "And then Smitty jumping on that first pitch was just huge to allow us to win the game."
Cody Koback notched another two hit game with a single, double and run scored. Koback also singled in game two, extending his hitting streak to seven games. Ryan Palermo posted the same line with a double and single on a two-for-three game one.
Game two started well for the Rafters, who led 2-0 into the fourth. But a fly ball home run, just inside the foul pole, off of starter Tommy Organ in the fourth made it 2-1 Rafters. Organ bounced back, struck out the next batter and ended the night with three strike outs over four innings pitched.
The Bullfrogs scored their second run off of Dan Johnson in the fifth, to tie the game at two. Then, with Brad Douthit on the hill in the seventh, Scott Schebler played hero for Green Bay with a walk-off RBI double to win the second game, 3-2. The split moves the Rafters to 4-9 on the season, while the Bullfrogs settle to 6-9.
Friday night the Rafters are back home at Witter Field for Summertime St. Patty's Night. Join the Rafters for a 7:05 game against the Madison Mallards along with a night of bagpipes, Irish names and all things green. The gates open at 7:05.

Make sure it's solid--warm temps this week may not bode well for it. Be careful!
Thanks for the pic. Climbed some of the stuff in the pic this morning. Ice is in great shape and easily accessible by scrambling down the left side of the falls.
If we actually get a base of snow down there followed by snowmelt and then more freezing weather, a lot of ice forms up. Especially on the South Rim. Think of it as ice bouldering
I collected some slings at the top of the ice gully, if they are yours, let me get them back to you.
Any word on the conditions this week? I was thinking about a Thursday evening/nighttime session but not if it will be dry tooling.
We were there yesterday and it seemed pretty great. First time visitors to the ice in CW though, so don't know what it's usually like.

COLONIE, N.Y. – Three late night robberies in three different areas have detectives across the Capital Region trying to find a link between the similar crimes.
Police believe all three are possibly related. The first robbery happened at a Colonie Sunoco. Police have released surveillance photos of the suspects from this robbery in hopes of catching them with the public's help.
Lieutenant Robert Winn with Colonie Police said at around 10:30 Sunday night, two suspects caught on video surveillance, entered the Sunoco at 616 Broadway and threatened the clerk with handguns.
"They came in. They announced that it was a robbery and they demanded cash and cigarettes," said Winn.
The men took off with nearly $500 in cash and cigarettes.
About an hour later, Troy Police responded to the Cumberland Farms on Pauling Avenue for a report of a robbery.
"The suspects entered the store and as soon as they entered they displayed handguns," explained Troy Police Captain John Cooney. "The clerk was ordered to comply as far as giving them cash from the register."
Only 15 minutes after the two men made off with cash and cigarettes from the Cumberland Farms, Albany Police responded to a Sunoco on Southern Boulevard.
Police say two males armed with handguns demanded cash. The workers complied and they fled the store with an unknown amount of cash.
"It's recommended through our advice and their training that they do comply," said Cooney. "We see that to be the safest route for the clerk to take."
The President of the New York Association of Convenience Stores Jim Calvin said store owners can use tools to help protect themselves during these types of hold ups.
"The combination of training limiting the amount of cash proper surveillance and good communication with police agencies," said Calvin.
Troy and Colonie Police say the suspects in both cases were males, one wearing a ski mask, one wearing a bandana. Both men were wearing dark hoodies.
"Now the possibility exists that these subjects were involved in three robberies in one night all involving handguns so the potential for extra violence and someone getting hurt is certainly high," said Winn.
No one was injured during the robberies.
If anyone recognizes any of the suspects or have any information, they are invited to call police.
Suspect Descriptions:
Suspect 1 – unknown race male (possibly white), 6' tall, black bandana covering his face, black pants, black shoes and a grey hooded sweatshirt – armed with a black handgun
Suspect 2 – unknown race male, shorter than suspect 1, black ski mask, black pants, black sneakers and black hooded sweatshirt – armed with a black handgun
Suspect 3 – (driver) – unknown race male, no further description
Vehicle – white sport utility vehicle
Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to contact the Colonie Police Department at 783-2744.

Over the course of a three-month investigation, four sources with intimate knowledge of the Syracuse men's basketball program told Yahoo! Sports at least 10 players since 2001 have tested positive for a banned recreational substance or substances. The sources said all 10 of those players were allowed to practice and play at times when they should have been suspended by the athletic department, including instances when some players may not have known of their own ineligibility. The four sources said Syracuse violated its drug policy in at least two areas: failing to properly count positive tests; and playing ineligible players after they should have been subject to suspension.Yahoo! Sports, which you may remember from the Nate Miles and Miami football investigations is at it again, this time finding problems with the drug testing program for Syracuse basketball.
The thing that people think is when you go to these big stadiums and they have 80,000 people or 100,000 people, that these are the toughest stadiums to play at, but really, those aren't. When you have that many people, most of the time, the fans are pretty far away from the field. The toughest places to play are the ones that are jam-packed, are really tight to the field, and sit about 45,000 people. When we played at UConn my freshman year, that was the loudest place I've ever been as a football player. The stands are right next to the field, it was packed, and everyone was yelling. That was probably the coolest place for me to play at aside from Texas, Texas A&M, and Nebraska.Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III on the loudest stadium he's ever been in.
The last time UConn beat DePaul it started a 16-game win streak. If they equal that, game 16 is for the National Championship. #IBelieveThat was me, on twitter, because there is nothing wrong with the occasional daydream.
People coming up to me asking me if I'm Hasheem Thabeet. That's probably the worst thing. No offense to him, but I look nothing like him.That's former Georgetown Hoya Roy Hibbert's answer to the question "What is the worst part about being 7-foot-2?". (h/t Deadspin)
"It's been tough on Roscoe. I always told him, `you can't let Coach play for you. Play your game.' A lot of players, when [they] make a mistake or miss a shot, his first thing is to look at Coach. I'm like, you don't need to look at him. He's seen you miss a shot. You don't want him to look at you back because nothing good's going to come out of it. The guys just need to play. We all got a scholarship to play at a top school, and we're just here to have fun and play."That's captain Shabazz Napier, who I like more each and every time I read something about him.
Ted's greatest accomplishment here ... he could do a great impersonation (of an out-of-town journalist) ... you couldn't have a Connecticut reporter call a recruit, because he's always going to say, 'Oh, I really like Connecticut.' And for a Philly reporter, he'd really like Villanova. So, he would become from other places -- either neutral or from the school that we thought was the biggest competition. He was able to impersonate writers -- which some of you do, too, as well as anybody.That's a four-year-old quote from Jim Calhoun, describing some recruiting, uh, "tactics", Maine coach Ted Woodward used when he was an assistant at UConn in the 80s. (h/t Borges)
I said 'gimme, gimme, gimme,'That's UConn's No. 1 rat-tail grower Shabazz Napier, describing what he said to Jeremy Lamb when UConn's lead over Wagner was cut to eight points and he felt the need to take over.
UConn's APR for 2009-2010 was 826 and its most recent four-year rolling average, released last May, was 893. UConn expects an APR of 975 for 2010-2011 when that figure is released in May. A 975 would bring UConn to 888.5 for a four-year rolling average, below the required 900. Plus, the two-year average would be 900.5, assuming UConn does indeed get the 975. That falls well below the 930. For UConn to be eligible in 2012-13, the NCAA would have to change its method and timetable for collecting and releasing APR scores so that eligibility in 2013 is based on the scores from 2010-11 and 2011-12, instead of 2009-10 and 2010-11. That is being studied and will be discussed at the NCAA meetings in February. Scores would have to be revealed before May, as is now the case. Failing that, there also will be appeals.That's Don Amore from the Courant discussing the new NCAA rules that were announced today. No reason to panic yet, but this isn't good.
Yeah, he calls himself that. No one else calls him that.Alex Oriakhi on Andre Drummond, who has dubbed himself "Showtime."

I am in no way a fan of Steve Sidwell, but I'm not sure if Sidwell leaving is automatically a positive. If Villa plan to stay competitive both domestically and in Europe they are going to need to use some of their depth, and said depth takes a bit of a hit of Sidwell is shipped out. The news on Fabian Delph's recovery is positive as of yet, but he should not be counted on to any degree in 2010/2011. Nigel Reo-Coker is apparently still among the living, but that doesn't mean MON will actually play him and as optimistic as I am that James Milner will be on the squad next season, Manchester City are still out there and they still have functionally limitless funds. And as much as I hate to say it, Stiliyan Petrov has entered the decline phase of his career and showed some signs of slowing down towards the end of the year. I don't think Stiliyan is done as a useful regular, but it may be reaching to point where he can no longer be counted on for 90 minutes every time out.
This clearly is not an especially big deal one way or the other; Steve Sidwell isn't a part of the future and he's a fairly insignificant part of the present. He's not likely to fetch a whole lot in a transfer, but he didn't cost very much to begin with and the return would likely be enough to add to the squad's depth at the back. The odds are good that the team are pursuing midfield depth elsewhere, and hopefully they can bring in a player that is a better fit for the squad.
I think that it is important to realize, however, that Sidwell leaving means that Villa are going to need to fill another role on the squad with a player brought in from the outside. This isn't just an issue of Sidwell going away and the team pocketing the transfer fee. If Sidwell goes to Fulham his minutes need to come from somewhere. If that's Reo-Coker, great. I'm skeptical that it will be, however, and beyond him there's really no one on the team I'm especially comfortable with getting regular playing time in the midfield.
I want to stress; I am not opposed to selling Sidwell. I'm just not prepared to say I love it until the move has some context. (Assuming it actually happens, of course.

Among the earth's resources,geothermal energy is probably the most overlooked. It's strange,too, considering that it's available almost everywhere, isamazingly efficient, produces a steady stream of heat year round, and isnon-polluting. What if we could combine this renewable resource withnon-polluting technology, like the Stirling Engine? Why, we'd havea very effective way of getting all the power we need!
So, whatis geothermal energy? Below the crust our earth remains liquefied. Thismolten rock is extremely hot and continues to warm the crust. In fact,four feet under the ground, the soil stays at 50-55 degrees year round.The temperature gets warmer the deeper you go. Many houses usegeothermal heat pumps to keep the temperature wonderfully comfortable atvery little cost. To top it off, there are no harmful emissions into theair or water!
And this Stirling Engine thing, how does it work?Well, it's very simple. This machine runs on a balance of heat andcold that compresses and expands gases in a chamber. These changes inpressure push and pull on the pistons, causing it to run (you can learnmore here). No gasesever enter or leave the chamber like in an internal combustion engine(the kind that runs automobiles). That means the Stirling Engine, likegeothermal heat, doesn't pollute.
So, how can thesetechnologies be combined? First, you need to run pipes deep into theground, where they can get the warmest, most stable heat. Then fillthose pipes with a mixture of water and possibly antifreeze. Run thosepipes past the part of the Stirling Engine that requires heat, and thencool off the other part with water from another source. Once the enginebegins to produce energy, it can run generators, supplying a reliablesource of power.
Of course, as with everything, there are bugs towork out, but I'll leave that to the professionals. This is justan idea of mine inspired by the need for alternative sources of power.That's what we need, after all: new ideas to improve lives and ourearth. There are so many wonders that remain hidden, or wonders thatjust haven't been put to proper use. If we just consider all thepossibilities, we can change the world.

Victoria's regional centres have tighter rental markets than Melbourne, according to the latest figures from the state's real estate institute.
Commenting on REIV February vacancy rate figures for the state's three main regional hubs (Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo), REIV CEO Enzo Raimondo noted that the availability of rental homes in regional Victoria remains very low.
"In the Ballarat region the vacancy rate is a low 1% and Bendigo continues to be one of the most difficult places to find a rental home in Victoria, with a vacancy rate of 0.6%" he said.
Geelong had the highest vacancy rate of the main Victorian regional cities, at 2.3%, but this was still below what was described as the more "balanced" figure for Melbourne of 2.4%.
"The February rental vacancy rate in Melbourne of 2.4 per cent indicates a greater availability of rental homes than is the case in regional Victoria," said Raimondo, adding that the overall vacancy rate for regional Victoria was recorded at 1.4% by the REIV.
"A vacancy rate of 3% represents a balanced market where renters are generally able to find a home and investors receive a decent return," added Raimondo. "Within Melbourne there is a clear trend of higher vacancies the closer to the suburb is to the CBD."
According to REIV figures, suburbs within 4km of the Melbourne CBD recorded a vacancy rate of 2.7%, which matched December's figure. The band of suburbs within 4-10km of the CBD recorded a vacancy rate of 2.6% – up from 2.1% in December.
"The middle suburbs have recorded a substantial easing from 1.2% to 2.2%," said Raimondo. "Vacancies in the outer suburbs have tightened from 2.1% to 1.6% per cent."

Some students in Durham Public Schools are getting free lunches every day thanks to a pilot program that was launched this January.
The program is offered in 22 schools. For three of those schools, Eastway Elementary, Bethesda Elementary and Lakewood Elementary, kids also get to eat their breakfast in the classroom.
The goal is to have kids be more focused, score higher on tests and have fewer attendance and discipline problems.
The program is also taking away any stigmas associated with students who receive a free or reduced cost breakfast.
Teachers say they are already seeing a quieter start to the day.
"They can come in here and eat and go ahead and get started on school work. I think it keeps them more focused and ready for the day than coming down and right before class starts they're trying to unpack. Now, they just come in, eat and go right to work," said Megan Sanders, a kindergarten teacher at Eastway Elementary.
Teachers also say the students are more alert.
"Before a lot of them came in sleepy, tired or saying, 'I'm so hungry. I didn't get anything to eat last night' or whatever, so I have seen that difference," says Tanwa Rhodes, a first-grade teacher at Eastway Elementary.
The district received money to start up the program from the Food Research and Action Center based in Washington, D.C. and from the United Dairy Industry Association.
"It's just nice for them to get in, get a hearty meal. Everything we serve meets the USDA requirements for meal patterns. They're getting a healthy meal in a safe environment and I think that's the most important thing we can do," said James Keaten, executive director of Child Nutrition Services in Durham Public Schools.
Schools receive $1.60 from the federal government for reimbursement of each free and reduced meal and also a portion of that for students who pay for meals.
For Eastway Elementary, that's an additional $50,000 coming to the school to help cover the cost of meals.
The nutrition staff will ask the school board next month to roll out the program to all schools next year.
