Owner Mary Tucker thought she made a good buy 38 days ago when she claimed Catrageous for $25,000 at Hollywood Park.
Just how good a bargain she got played out Saturday at the fair as Tucker's 3-year-old filly captured the $55,450 Wine Country Stakes.
The winner's share: $32,100. In other words, after expenses, every dollar Catrageous brings in from here on out will be pure profit. Catrageous was the longshot of the six-horse field and paid $18.80 to win.
She had a ground-saving trip under jockey Juan Hernandez and won by 2 lengths.
Armando Lage is the winning trainer.
Pacesetter Life Is a Stone finished second and Sassy Brunette settled for third.
Hernandez was the day's riding star. He also booted home Drewthetiger ($5) in the fifth race and Kevinator ($6.20) in the 10th.
In the first race today, a 350-yard dash for mules, three sisters will race against each other. The middle sister — 8-year-old Bar JF Red Ticket — is the fastest of the three. She's won seven straight and has been to the winner's circle 33 times in 54 races. ... Bar JF Hot Ticket is two years older and has had an illustrious career. She'll be seeking her 49th victory in 68 races. ... Bar Jf Lottoticket, is 7 and her record is not as impressive as her older sisters. She has six wins in 55 races. Halo Dolly, who was last seen locally when she won the Diamond Jubilee Stakes in 2011, returns for today's $50,000 Luther Burbank Handicap. ... After winning here, the Jerry Hollendorfer-trainee captured the prestigious Yellow Ribbon Stakes at Santa Anita. Russell Baze rides today. ... Local trainer Steve Specht will send out Vincenza in the Burbank. The 4-year-old has won her last two and will be making her stakes debut.
Frank Alvarado will be aboard.
1st race: JF Red Ticket, JF Hot Ticket, Cali McGee
2nd race: JW the Last One, Frankly J Charcole, Latigo Special

Rachel Zoe is a MAJOR style influence for me. While I don't generally lean towards her boho-glam style, I admire her drive as a business woman while never compromising on her personal style. Her new venture into design has unsurprisingly peeked my interest. I came across this amazing sandal from her new spring collection on Neiman Marcus. These could worn with everything; dressed up, dressed down. Will definitely add these to my must have Spring/Summer list.

TRICARE and National Healthcare Reform
The United States Congress has passed major health care reform legislation, the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, that President Obama signed into law
on March 23, 2010. More>>
Urgent Care Initiative
TRICARE launched an urgent care initiative for TRICARE Prime beneficiaries
enrolled at nine military installations across the country. If you are a
beneficiary at one of these locations and you cannot reach your primary care
manager for a referral, you now have another option to receive urgent care
either after hours or when traveling.
>>Learn More
TRICARE Briefing for National Guard and Reserve Units
Education is the key to understanding your TRICARE benefits. Without this
understanding, very stressful situations can occur resulting in expensive
out-of-pocket costs for service members and their family. Each unit must
ensure their assigned service members and their families are trained and
know who to contact for their TRICARE needs. There are many types of briefings:
Please note that all briefing requests should be submitted at least three weeks in advance of the desired briefing date. The process to request the annual briefing is very simple.
By completing this form, your request is submitted immediately. You will be contacted to finalize arrangements for the briefing.
TRICARE Standard and Extra
TRICARE Standard and Extra is a fee-for-service plan available to all non-active duty beneficiaries. Enrollment is not
required. When using TRICARE Standard and Extra, beneficiaries may visit any TRICARE-authorized provider,
network or non-network, without a referral.
2013 TRICARE Standard Health Matters Newsletter
"On October 1, 2013, the Department of Defense established the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to manage the activities of the Military Health System. These activities include those previously managed by TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), which was disestablished on the same date. During the next several months, all TMA websites will change to reflect the new DHA. We appreciate your patience during this transition."

My Tribute to Mo
Some would say last night was a perfect ending to a perfect career (well, as close it can be anyway). Others say it ended in an unworthy manner. The Yankees were playing their first meaningless home game that the franchise has seen since 1993. But although they were losing 4-0, and this roller coaster of a season is all but over, the only thing that mattered was the greatest of all time at his position, number 42, Mariano Rivera, was going to jog onto that field in the Bronx, glove in hand, for One. Last. Time.
Although, the entire season seemed to be one big parade for Mo, as a fan, it didn't hit me or seem real at all until last night. For all I knew, #42 was going to be closing games for the Yankees for the rest of my life. I am 22 years old. Most would say I am a spoiled baseball fan, for having my favorite team go on one of the most dominant stretches any team has had in the history of sports. And they would be right. But I'm not the only one spoiled here. If you consider yourself a fan of baseball in any capacity, you too have been spoiled since 1995, having got to witness the development of greatness right before your eyes.
Let me say this: whosever idea it was to have Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte take out Mo in his final appearance at Yankee stadium deserves a pay raise. It was theater in real life. They also must have put a pretty penny on the money line for if Rivera was going to cry or not. How could he not get emotional? His two best friends, who he has been through everything with (Let's just forget about Andy's Astros stint, we know he wants to), were walking to the mound to take him out of his last appearance in front of the fans who he has had a love affair with for 24 years.
I lost my composure about the same time Mo did. Many people will say it's stupid and childish to have such strong emotional attachment to a player or a team. But that's just it. When I watch Mo, I feel like a kid again. He is one of only a few players left in all of sports that were around when my attachment to teams and players formed. So maybe I got emotional because the end of Mo's career is really the end of the Yankee Dynasty that I grew up to love. Or maybe, it's because in a world where professional athletes should not be looked up to as role models in my opinion, he is the shining star that puts that argument to rest. But really, I think it's because moments like that verify to me why I sports so much. Why sports are what I think about right before I go to bed and first thing when I wake up in the morning. Why I have been an athlete my whole life. Why I can sickeningly remember the most random statistic or moment from a game but could not care less who won some battle or why some proof to an algorithm is what it is. Why I desperately need to be involved in sports in some aspect as my long term career path for me to be remotely happy.
So what the meaning and purpose of it all? Is it rings? Is it records? Is it simply adding commas to your net worth? For some, (who are we kidding), for many, it is. But not for Mo. Not for one of only a handful of men that can be called a GOAT. Because he has plenty of all of that. 5 rings, 652 saves, a World Series MVP, and just a grotesque 0.70 postseason ERA. He does it for the love of the game. He does it because it's his JOB. Because it's what he is SUPPOSED to do. And he did it with more dignity and class than who has come before him or anyone my generation will ever produce.
So why is everyone making a big deal about just another player ending his career? It's because, to loosely quote a certain famous police commissioner, Mo Rivera is not the hero that baseball has anymore. That ended last night. But he is the hero that we deserved.

Location was very good if you need to be near the air port. The hotel also provided free shuttle to V&A. The resturant and included breakfast was the best. Beautiful breakfast selection.
The linens were great but the comforter was very hot and heavy. I mean like 20 pounds on top of you. It would have been nice to have a light blanket provided.I would stay here in a minute if I needed to be near the airport. Very nice.

Staff was very courteous and friendly!This hotel, though geared toward green and business, was extremely relaxing and convenient for a vacation traveller like me. Staff was the best, from the front desk to the maid service! Everyone always extended the most efficient and courteous greetings. Mitch at the front desk even volunteered to take me to the closest convenience store to pick up some needed items, without my even asking!

For the most dramatic accommodations in Breckenridge, the Water House is the place to go. Our room had a dynamic dark wood finish, leather couches, and a beautiful red and gold theme that matched in every room. Each piece even seemed to be carefully selected to all work together. The back balcony is cute, and the kitchen has a beautiful dark granite center island that seemed designed for a romantic night in.
Guests here have access to all of Main Street Station's amenities including the pool, hot tubs, fitness center, and concierge service. It is also right across the street from many of Main streets shops and restaurants.Recommended for:Business TravelersFamily TravelersLuxury TravelersOutdoor Enthusiasts

Water House is the luxury property located in the general area of all of the wonderful properties in Breck managed by ResortQuest. So although, the check-in is the same as that for Main Street Station and Hyatt, the property itself is billed as more upscale than it's neighbors, as if that's possible!
Service is first rate and you can tell that everyone's been trained to make you feel at home and comfortable just as soon as you set foot into the lobby. Water House truly has it all in terms of onsite amenities.. pool, lockers, lounge, spa, workout room, tubs, accessibility to the mountain (two minutes to the base of Peak 9) as well as town.
No restaurants on site, and they are absolutely not necessary, as Water House et al are located smack in the middle of all that Breck has to offer in terms of culinary delights.
The rooms are just plain wow... ours had a view looking out across the Maggie Pond to the mountains beckoning in the distance. Tasteful details abound, with the overall impression being one of quiet luxury. The price... well, absolutely competitive for this tier of accommodations. Certainly worth it if you want and need the best in an in-town lodging and resort option.Recommended for:Luxury Travelers

This is, hands down, one of the nicest hotels in Breckenridge.
In the unit I saw, there was a large, very nice kitchen, a deep tub, a stand alone shower, an iPod dock, 3 TVs, a balcony with sitting space for two, and a fireplace.
If you looked up luxury in the dictionary, there would definitely be a picture of the Water House there.
The unit had a gas fireplace, was well as a washer and dryer. The kitchen even had an island that doubled as a bar!
The large dining area was a bit dim, even with all the lights on, but it could certainly host quite a dinner party if you're feeling festive or just very hungry.
This updated hotel is perfect for someone seeking luxurious comfort right in the heart of Breckenridge.Recommended for:Luxury Travelers

Bradford Council urges tipsters to 'dob in' housing fraudsters
9:00am Sunday 23rd February 2014 in News
Anonymous tipsters are being urged to 'dob in' housing fraudsters via a dedicated hotline in a Yorkshire-wide crackdown.
Bradford Council is teaming up with other local authorities and social landlords across the Yorkshire and Humber region to try to stamp out illegal sub-letting in social housing.
It's also fraudulent for a social housing tenant to provide false information in order to get a tenancy, or to stop living at their home without ending the tenancy.
Across the UK, there are an estimated 98,000 housing association and council homes occupied by someone who should not live there.
Housing fraud takes up valuable housing spaces which deprive other families and individuals of the homes they need, a council spokesman said.
Martin Stubbs, assistant director of the revenues and benefits service at Bradford Council, said: "We are looking forward to working with other local authorities and organisations in the fight against fraud.
"We would urge people to help us stamp it out by coming forward and reporting their suspicions."
Karen Lee, director of Incommunities' Neighbourhood Services, said: "We are committed to cracking down on any Incommunities tenants who are found to be involved in illegal sub-letting.
"We would urge anyone who may be aware of such a practice at one of our properties to contact either our 24-hour reporting line – (01274) 254274 – or the Bradford Council contact number."

Life List: Fly a Plane
Highlands Ranch, Colorado
Age 56
Mother of 3, veterinary surgical nurse
Fly a plane
Learn Italian
Bicycle through Tuscany
Polarized sunglasses
Cessna 172 airplane
A good instructor
From the time I was little I would stop what I was doing whenever a plane flew overhead and watch it until it was out of sight. That fascination never faded. I would always joke with my boss about how I was going to be a fighter pilot "when I grew up." Then for Christmas about five years ago he decided to take me at my word and gave me a gift certificate to Sky Fighters, an adventure flight program in Englewood, Colorado.
A pilot took me up in a two-person fighter plane, and we did loops and rolls and mock dogfights. I fell in love. I'd been divorced for nearly 10 years, my kids were grown -- I decided the time was perfect to do something for me.
I started taking flying lessons at a nearby airport and signed up for ground school, the book-learning part. I learned to fly on a Cessna 172, the basic training plane. The challenge is incredible. When you're flying you multitask: You have to watch the speed and altitude gauges and you have to navigate, map the weather, look out the window for traffic, and talk on the radio. The first time I soloed, six months after I started, I was so excited my knees were shaking. When I took off I had this huge smile on my face. I still feel the same exhilaration every time the wheels leave the ground.What I Learned
Getting my license is by far the best thing I have ever done, my biggest accomplishment. When I was married and the kids were small, I didn't have a lot of opportunities to do what I wanted to do. Flying opened up the world to me: It taught me to trust myself and made me not afraid to try new things. Plus my children think it's cool that Mom's a pilot! Flying has also introduced me to amazing people. After I got my license I started working with an organization called LifeLine Pilots. Pilots volunteer their time, their fuel, and their plane to sick children and their families. I am the outreach coordinator and will start flying missions when I have all the hours I need to qualify.
Meanwhile I'm having a blast. Have you ever had a place in your heart that stayed empty until you finally found the perfect fit? For me that's flying. There's always something new over the horizon.

Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva's face resembled something out of a horror flick after his last bout with Cain Velasquez. The Brazilian heavyweight sustained gashes and cuts and left a lot of blood behind when he exited the octagon after the defeat.
On Saturday night, one day before the one-year anniversary of his defeat, Silva will try to exact revenge when he gets a rematch with UFC champion Velasquez in the main event of UFC 160 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
After last year's bout, Velasquez went on to recapture the heavyweight belt – defeating Junior Dos Santos in a rematch – and Silva shocked the mixed-martial arts world by knocking out former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem to earn a shot at the title against Velasquez.
Those who witnessed the beating Velasquez dealt Silva give the 33-year-old challenger only a slight chance of winning the title, but Silva, who trains in Coconut Creek, believes this outcome will be different this time.
"I think the main thing is in our first fight I was nervous and I was anxious," Silva said. "And I have replaced those emotions now. Now I'm calm. I realize I've got 30 pounds on him. He's going to be faster than me, so I need to work with what I have, and what I have are very, very heavy hands."
The Mexican-American Velasquez expects an improved Silva and vows not to be overconfident.
"This is a whole new fight," Velasquez said. "Obviously we saw what Bigfoot can do in his past two fights. You can't take him lightly. He is a tough competitor. He has really dangerous cuts in the octagon, so I don't see this as anything less than a hard, grueling fight, and that's what I'm expecting."
Silva knows the odds are stacked against him, but he was also the underdog against Fedor Emelianenko and, most recently, Overeem. He defeated both.
"I like when people underestimate me. It's nice," Silva said. "I get to go out there and I get to show them wrong. There are no superheroes in this sport, nobody is invincible, and I've been putting in a lot of hard work for the last nine weeks. I have been preparing myself and I'm very confident that I'm going to have my arm raised on May 25."
Lightweight Abel Trujillo, who trains in Boca Raton, will appear on the UFC 160 undercard looking to win his second fight with the MMA company – and sixth in a row overall – when he takes on undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Trujillo, who was born in Greensboro, N.C., has had an impressive turnaround to his career after starting 5-4. He says he didn't appreciate the work that goes into being an MMA fighter at first, but with proper training he has been able to become a top fighter at 155 pounds.
"At first I was training by myself, and with a bunch of guys that didn't know what they were doing," Trujillo said. "I wasn't properly trained, and taking fights on a week's notice. I thought that was normal, but found out it wasn't. Now I'm training with the Blackzillians, training with coaches for each craft, and actually having full training camps for fights. This has contributed to my recent success."
Trujillo debuted last December with the UFC, defeating Marcus LeVesseur by TKO in two rounds. It was an impressive first performance by the 29-year-old on the big stage. This time around he will no longer be the unknown.
"I have to prove that the first fight wasn't a fluke," Trujillo said. "This fight will be just as brutal. I like to take every fight as if it was my debut."

Hey all,
I have a messed up history here. 1 yr 10 mths ago I busted something in my right shoulder on bench press. 1yr 5 mths ago I busted my left leg (tibion bone area), unsure how, I just got the pain one day...
Until this day, both are killing me. They only kill me when I put strain on them (ie weight lifting). My leg kills when I do squatting movements so i'm unable to do squats, lunges, etc. My shoulder kills when doing any chest excercise. Kills a bit on some shoulder and a bit when doing heavy tricep pull downs.
I'm currently hitting the gym but I don't do any excercises which I feel pain on both parts and I do light weights (have been since the injuries except for the mths off I took to relax/repair which I lifted nothing or did anything physical)
I've done ultrasound and xray testing for both many times and the results were fine, no problems. I took many months off physical activity and it hasn't healed. I've done excercises to repair rotators, etc, nothing. I've done physio/rehab (one normal, 2 sports physio) over the period of a few mths for both the leg and shoulder and no one has been able to resolve the problems. I've also done accupuncture by two different people.
The last physio I went to advised to visit an Orthopedic Surgeon.
I recently got my MRI done for the shoulder and they dont see anything wrong. All it says is tendiniosis. I visited the surgeon with my results from ultrasound, xrays and mri, and this guy states that surgery is not needed on both the leg and shoulder and that I should stop lifting and nothing can be done.
I told him to do something about it and he referred me to another orthopedic surgeon.
Basically i've been running around for almost 2 yrs, spent a crap load of money and time and nothing is resolved.
I have no where else to go but here, possibly someone has some insight on a similar injury that they experienced and overcame..
Wow, that really sucks. Talk to coach Rippetoe to see what he has to say about this:http://strengthmill.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=36
Either that or a sports doctor of some sort. I have shoulder pains and pain in my right knee in my patella tendon. I just lift anyway though. I asked Rippetoe what he thought about injuries in general, and what injuries would call for not lifting at all.
He basically said if you can still workout with the injury that I should do so. He also said to think about if it was 10,000 BC and you had these injuries. What would you do then? You would have to whatever you could to survive or you would die otherwise.
I dunno if that's the best advice, but I liked it considering I don't want to stop lifting and I have pains in my joints.
I'm kind of working through the pain now but it sucks b/c it kills when I ride a bike, and sports which consist of extensive running, etc,, it really kills me on daily activities and I would hate to live with this pain forever...
I definitely dont want to stop lifting as well, im already turning in to a slob bc of all the time I took off...
i'll try rippetoe thanks
Get a deep tissue massage.
Being a strong teenager means nothing.
My wrists hurt, but some people don't have wrists to be sore. My knees have tendinitis, but some people don't have legs to get tendinitis in. I seem to be going backwards with training, yet some people can't even walk let alone lift 400 pounds on a daily basis.
Dust out the vagina, and keep on lifting.

Sentencing has been delayed for a former University of Nebraska women's basketball star who pleaded "no-contest" to faking an anti-gay hate crime. 34-year-old Charlie Rogers was set to be sentenced Thursday morning in Lincoln, but the judge rescheduled the hearing to March 14th.
Rogers, a native of South Sioux City, was charged after she claimed she was attacked by three men who carved anti-gay slurs into her arms and stomach. She maintains her innocence, but her attorney has said she didn't want a court fight and more of the publicity that her case has generated.
Rogers could face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Chez Siran23 reviews
First Reviewed By: ayaa1977
Unless youre a regular visitor to the Rawdah Star Complex in Jeddah, you're unlikely to have passed by Chez Siran Restaurant.. Tucked inside, it is easy to miss as it has no flashy signs, and as far as I know has not yet run any advertisement in the press or any other media. It is the kind of place that thrives on word of mouth, and word of mouth is what I will try to do here.
So what's Chez Siran? Chez Siran, which means Siran's House, is an Armenian Lebanese restaurant that was the brain child of an Armenian Lebanese Lady named Siran, who wanted to marry the culinary traditions of her original homeland Armenia and her adopted homeland Lebanon, and I think the result is wonderful.
There is nothing spectacular about the restaurant's look from the outside that would distinguish it from any other restaurant in the block, it looks refreshingly regular. When we entered the door the host welcomed us and we took the elevator to the family section on the first floor. There were a few occupied tables at the time, around 4 pm on a Thursday, but what made us worry was the presence of Shisha, our arch enemy in any dinning place. So we picked a table in the middle that separated us from the other diners, and thank God we did because almost all of them were huffing and puffing.
The interior of the restaurant was simple but elegant. The wooden tables and chairs are your regular issue, and it had sofas in the corner as well. The walls were decorated with colorful ceramic plates which was the only standout thing about the décor.
The waiter brought the elegant sketchbook-like menus. When you start reading your menu, the story that inspired the opening will keep you...
For salad we chose fattoush (19 SR), and for starters we chose muttabal (eggplant dip) (15 SR), kebbe (22 SR), and shrimp coriander (39 SR). Since those were more than what we usually get for starter we opted for only one main dish, Matznouv kebab (44 SR), which consists of kebab patties that looked more like burgers, topped with creamy yogurt and toasted peanuts. For drinks we tried the lemonade with mint (14 SR each).
While we are waiting, our waiter brought over a basket of hot pita bread and some diced and spiced olives, which we ate like hot bread. I had a difficult time controlling myself from eating the whole basket, (it was that yummy!).
The food we had was all wonderful, it tasted great and it was presented elegantly, we really had no complaints about anything we had, as it all was first rate. We have had fattoush, kebbe, and muttabal before in other restaurants, and the ones here measured up to the best of them. The shrimp coriander was the highlight of our meal, it was so delicious! A tad spicy, but not too much, and the coriander paste on it complemented the fried shrimp in excellently. It was like nothing we have ever tasted before. As for the Matznouv kebab; also excellent. It was a shame we had started eating it after filling up on so many of the wonderful starters that we had difficulties finishing our only main dish. The lemonade was also tasty.
The service is apt and speedy but was not spectacular, but that is alright, apt is fine as long as the food is great. Our bill mounted to 192.05 SR, 15% service included. Which is really not that expensive for the great food we had.
In conclusion, we highly recommend the restaurant especially for those people who are fond of Lebanese food, as Chez Siran will offer you that food you love with an Armenian twist. But a word to the wise, if you are anything like us sensitive to Shisha, then we advise you to chose a less crowded time to visit, and avoid at any cost the dinner rush hour on weekends, because the hazy smoke can ruin your meal no matter how wonderful the food is, and you don't want that to be your first impression of this great place.

Chez Siran Story
Her father named her Siran after his Armenian mother. Siran is a 48 year old lady who was born and raised in Lebanon. She has always loved to cook. Ever since she was a child she used to spend hours in the kitchen with her Armenian grandma.
Siran was living in Beirut; it was there where she completed her studies in architecture. But her love for cooking and her old times in grandma's kitchen were never to be forgotten. She always had the feeling that she wanted to do something unusual one day. She always felt she had two hearts, one Armenian and one Lebanese. At home she always cooked both, Lebanese and Armenian; she also came up with combinations.
Later she moved with her husband and children to the Gulf for her husband's work. She has finally decided to do the unusual thing that she always felt she had to do. She decided to open her own restaurant.
It was not however any restaurant, it was "Chez Siran". It was her own place were she combined and brought back her love to the Lebanese Tradition and culture in her own Armenian refined way. It was a combination of all her experience. That with grandma, her Lebanese/Armenian cooking, her Moauneh and her contemporary traditional collection. A restaurant new of its kind. It is not only about food. It is about a story of someone born and raised to the love of tradition and to the appreciation of modernity. This is the experience that Siran wanted to share.

oh it's been a while since my last visit to the site but i just read the word SIRAN and i had to check out the review. and OH MY GOD, for a moment i thought you were describing my visit to the restaurant! everything you've mentioned from the welcoming host up to the pita and spiced olives which are truly difficult not to finish! (they're just unn reaaaal)
and i must say that i've tried almost all the main dishes and they were all DELICIOUSSS specially the Matznouv kebab. however, i thought the rice with some of the main dishes was a bit odd!
BTW. i found the menu kind of narrow, but i prefer a small menu with great and well-prepared dishes, over a big menu with plain ones..
finally, two things you don't want to mess are the spectacular french fries and tabboleh. and let me tell you about their tabboleh,, IT IS TO DIE FOR
and this comes from a person who hates tabboleh, and i seriously never thought i'd eat more than just a spoon no matter where or who made it. but this 1 is THE BEST. DO NOT MISS IT.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Commissioners signed off on proposals to create diverging diamond interchanges on two of Gwinnett's biggest interstate bridges, granting money for officials to get started.
During a meeting Tuesday, commissioners agreed to give $8.6 million in funding each to the Gwinnett Village and Gwinnett Place Community Improvement Districts. The money had been promised from county sales tax funds to replace the bridges at Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road over Interstate 85.
But CID officials have recently decided on quicker, cheaper redesigns that would have people cut to the other side of the bridge, allowing for continuous flow onto the interstate. The diverging diamond interchange, which is only currently open in Missouri in the U.S., is expected to cost about $3 million for each bridge.
Long term, though, replacements will still be needed, said Gwinnett Village's Chuck Warbington, and the county money will allow the designs to begin on that as well.
"I believe it's going to be a huge success in moving traffic quicker," Commissioner Shirley Lasseter said of the diverging diamond idea.

Meadowbrook project offers region more beds, jobs
PLATTSBURGH — A planned expansion at Meadowbrook Healthcare in Plattsburgh will provide new nursing-home beds in a state-of-the-art "neighborhood" design.
And dozens of new jobs will be created.
Meadowbrook recently submitted a Certificate of Need application to the New York State Department of Health for approval to add 80 additional beds to its facility at 154 Prospect Ave.
"We're pleased to have an opportunity to bring new beds into the community," said Meadowbrook Administrator Paul Richards. "These beds are desperately needed."
The expansion will feature an attached two-story building at the rear of the current facility.
Each floor will hold 40 beds, broken into sections of 20 beds that comprise a new concept in nursing-home design by grouping residents into "neighborhoods" with private rooms connected to public gathering areas.
"It's a layout that will afford residents more individual privacy and living space than the traditional design," Richards said.
"The old nursing-home model (with double corridors connected by a nursing station) is broken. Today's people need more common space, a more home-like atmosphere, more square footage."
The concept also promotes improved interaction between residents and staff, he added.
The expansion replaces another proposal Meadowbrook developed several years ago, when officials planned to construct a massive 210-bed facility adjacent to Pine Harbour Assisted Living Facility on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base.
That project had been approved by the State Department of Health, but financial issues have stalled construction since design plans were first announced.
"The world has changed as we know it," Richards said.
Adjustments in Medicaid reimbursements and other changes in health care have played a major role in reducing the feasibility for construction of the 210-bed facility, which was slated to be named the James Mann Health Center in memory of a surgeon who treated injured sailors on Crab Island during the 1814 Battle of Plattsburgh.
"We need to make sure the business model we plan if feasible economically," Richards said.
Of the 80 new beds at Meadowbrook, 54 will be reserved for residents now staying at CVPH Medical Center.
Meadowbrook and CVPH had an initial agreement to move those residents to the James Mann facility once completed, and the two providers will uphold that agreement with the new expansion plans.
Evergreen Valley Nursing Home was also planning to shift its 89 beds to the James Mann facility, but Evergreen will now continue to operate at its current location on South Catherine Street.
The community was faced with a shortage in nursing-home beds when Cedar Hedge Nursing Home in Rouses Point closed in 2006, creating a loss of 60 regional beds.
"Not much has changed in terms of community need," Richards said. "But there are a lot of new dynamics in heath care; we believe this (new project) fits in line with today's health-care system."
With 26 open beds at the new facility, Richards said, Meadowbrook will be at full occupancy once the project is complete.
Construction will begin once Meadowbrook receives approval from all local and state permits. Richards believes the project will be completed within two to three years.
He expects the project to open as many as 70 new full-time positions at Meadowbrook.
With CVPH transferring 54 senior residents to Meadowbrook, Richards hopes many of the employees at CVPH will apply for openings at Meadowbrook and remain with the residents they have been working with.
"We sincerely respect and value the elderly and value the providers who serve and care for the elderly," he said.
Meadowbrook currently has about 275 full- and part-time staff members.
"Meadowbrook has earned a great reputation in the community," Richards said.
"We are looking forward to building on this success during our expansion project and will continue to provide quality health-care services to the community."

Gio Gonzalez and Jonathan Sanchez were unwitting neighbors. Gonzalez lived in one complex and worked odd but regular hours. Sanchez lived in the complex across the street, and worked odd and similar hours. Every so often, one would see the other, getting out of his car or walking the dog, but the other never registered as familiar. The other was just an anonymous person, a part of the scenery, like a mailbox or a hedge. Gio Gonzalez and Jonathan Sanchez were neighbors who might as well have lived worlds apart.
I'm not going to be able to extend that any farther so let's cut the literary bullcrap. For a time, Gio Gonzalez and Jonathan Sanchez were very similar pitchers. Both were starters, and both were left-handed. Both called the Bay Area home, at least during the warmer months. Both threw a fastball and a change-up and a breaking ball, and both could strike a batter out. Both had potential, and both were inefficient. Through 2011, Gonzalez had a 1.94 career strikeout-to-walk ratio, and averaged four pitches per plate appearance. Through 2011, Sanchez had a 1.96 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and averaged four pitches per plate appearance.
I don't know how many comparisons got drawn between Gonzalez and Sanchez, but there were comparisons to be made. Convincing comparisons. Statistical comparisons, and scouting comparisons! Baseball-Reference, for example, lists Gonzalez at six feet and 200 pounds, and Sanchez at six feet and 200 pounds. The two had so much in common, but there was one major difference: Gonzalez had pitched in the American League the whole time, while Sanchez had pitched in the National League the whole time.
Intuitively, you would think that Gonzalez therefore had faced the tougher task. In the American League, each team that isn't the Mariners has nine hitters in the lineup. In the National League, each team has eight hitters in the lineup, and one guy who holds a bat and usually does something embarrassing. You could argue that the National League compensates by having better offensive position players. I don't think that's true.
Gonzalez put up certain numbers in the American League. Sanchez put up similar numbers in the National League. This past offseason, Gonzalez was traded to the National League, and Sanchez was traded to the American League. If we're comfortable with our assumptions about league superiority, what we'd look for here is for Gonzalez to take a step forward, and for Sanchez to take a step back.
In the early going, Gonzalez has taken a step forward, and Sanchez has taken a step back. This is where the confirmation bias comes into play. I'm writing this because Gonzalez and Sanchez have numbers that match what I expected. It could be chance. I'm writing this anyway.
With Oakland, Gonzalez had his success, but he was limited by his inefficiency. He's started three times so far for the Nationals, and he's got 21 strikeouts and five walks. His strike rate is up, his contact rate is down, and he looks like the guy people wanted him to be.
With San Francisco, Sanchez had his success, but he was limited by his inefficiency. He's started three times so far for the Royals, and he's got eight strikeouts and ten walks. His strike rate is down, his contact rate is up, and he looks like a mess. Jonathan Sanchez had a fighting chance each time he took the mound a year ago, and now he's pitching like he was bumped to a higher level.
If you put it in your head that the American League is tougher than the National League, then it makes sense that Gonzalez and Sanchez have gone the ways they've gone. Take a pitcher with this profile and make his job a little easier, and he should look like a much better pitcher. Take a pitcher with this profile and make his job a little harder, and he should look like a much worse pitcher
Of course, because it's so early, this could all be noise. Nothing. As I mentioned, the reason I'm suggesting it might not be noise is because of confirmation bias that I can't help. When the Royals traded for Jonathan Sanchez, I thought "No, hold on, that doesn't seem like a good idea," because he was having a hard enough time keeping his head above water in the National League. How could the Royals hope he'd improve upon being introduced to the designated hitter? And with the Nationals and Gonzalez, even though they paid a hefty price, where better for a pitcher like Gonzalez to flourish than in the National League, where his inefficiency would be less bothersome?
There's so much more that goes into it, but in my head I understand it completely.
Sanchez seemed like a dangerous option for the Royals. Gonzalez seemed like a promising option for the Nationals. A combined six starts in, and my expectations have been met. If things were reversed, I might learn a lesson. Things being what they are, I get to feel smug, which is just as fulfilling.

|Vika leads the head-to-head 5-4, including victories in their past four matches.
|Li will take confidence from the fact that she has won both of their encounters at Grand Slams – at Melbourne and Roland Garros in 2011, both in straight sets.
|She can maintain her focus. There can be a lot of unnecessary distractions for players to block out in the lead-up to a Grand Slam final. Azarenka must find a way to block out the discussion surrounding her semifinal with Sloane Stephens and focus on the task of winning Saturday night's final.
|She plays the way she did against Maria Sharapova. Li dismantled the second seed and turned Sharapova's game back on her in what was one of the most commanding performances of the tournament.
|Monica Niculescu, Eleni Danillidou, Jamie Hampton, Elena Vesnina, Svetlana Kuznetsova and 29th seed Sloane Stephens were all cut down by top seed Azarenka.
|Victories over Sharapova, fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska, 18th seed Julia Goerges, 27th seed Sorana Cirstea, Olga Govortsova and Sesil Karatantcheva have delivered Li her second crack at an Australian Open title. The sixth seed here, Li is yet to drop a set.
|Redfoo. The LMFAO star has been a constant in Vika's box throughout her two-week campaign
|Crowd support. It's the sixth seed versus the world No.1 and Australians just love an underdog.
|In six matches Azarenka has played just one seeded player – 29th-seeded Stephens, while Li has played four seeded players.
|Unforced errors. In four out of Li's six matches, she has hit more unforced errors than winners. In one match, she hit the same amount and in her semifinal triumph she hit just three more winners than unforced errors. If anything will prove to be Li's Achilles heel, this will be it.
|The crowd. How will the RLA crowd react to Azarenka after the controversial end to her semifinal victory?
|Li's forehand - just ask Sharapova. The Li forehand, when it's on, is a weapon to be reckoned with. Li helped herself to 21 winners in her semifinal win.
27 JAN: Novak Djokovic has won his third consecutive Australian Open title and fourth overall, coming from a set down to defeat Andy Murray 6-7(2) 7-6(3) 6-3 6-2 on Sunday night.

Playing in the NCAA championships is always exciting, but three volleyball players are more excited about having home court advantage in the Cedar Rapids tournament.
Three Wingate Bulldogs all used to be Iowa Rockets.
"All three of us are really close, and it's crazy to be on the same court as them," said Lexi Potter, a junior.
The trio grew up in the Iowa City area and at one point were rivals. Potter and Shelly Stumpff both went to West High, while Abby Saehler went to City High.
"I didn't really care about West High, you know, they were our rivals, but now I wouldn't trade them for the world," said Abby Saehler, a freshman. "I love them."
Whenever Wingate is playing, this arena is going to be packed with Eastern Iowans here to cheer on the hometown girls.
"Usually we don't get to see them very much so them coming up to Cedar Rapids I think we're all very, very excited for," said Lauren Hansen, a former coach. "We have quite a bit of people coming tonight."
They're looking forward to their friends and families watching them play.
"It will just liven up the atmosphere even more, even though this is a very cool place to play in," said Shelly Stumpff, a sophomore.
"It's so close to home," Saehler added. "We have so many people coming to watch us and support us. So that will just be another advantage with us."
The three hope that advantage will help them win a national title.

A man robbed a North Community Bank branch Monday afternoon on the Near North Side.
Police responded about 12:55 p.m. to a teller alarm at the bank in the 800 block of North State Street, officials said.
The suspect took an unknown amount of cash and ran away, according to police and the FBI. No one was hurt.
The robber is described as a black man, about 5-foot-1 to 5-foot-3, and 125-135 pounds, according to the FBI. He has a dark complexion, was wearing eyeglasses and carrying a black messenger bag.
CTA officials closed the westbound stairwell of the nearby Chicago Red Line stop because police deemed it part of the crime scene, spokeswoman Katherine Hosinski said.
Passengers were able to access the station through other entrances, and service was not affected, she said. The stairwell has since reopened.
No one was in custody late Monday afternoon.
Loyola University Chicago's Water Tower Campus is located across the street from the bank. A crime alert posted to the university's website Monday afternoon asks students or community members with information on the robbery to contact the FBI at (312) 421-6700.

Tombstone, AZ (KOLD) - Something new is coming to historic Tombstone.
Well, really it's something old, getting a new life.
The school board voted Wednesday night to sell the old Tombstone High School to a developer.
Tombstone is known as "The town to tough to die."
Apparently, we can say the same thing about its old high school.
It is going to experience a rebirth as part of a grand hotel.
Developer William Smith of J&W Transformations, LCC, wears cowboy boots and the hat, and a silver belt buckle.
You would expect a guy like that to know the importance of a town like Tombstone.
I asked Smith, "You're a cowboy at heart, aren't you?"
"I guess I am. Just an old romantic cowboy," he replied.
But Smith also is a developer with a vision of success.
"We want to then turn this into a destination hotel of the 1880 period with the magnificent entryways and the walnut on the rooms and so on," he says.
Smith's says he's buying Tombstone's old high school and elementary for $2.9 million.
Tombstone voters wanted a way to save the historic high school building, built in 1922, 12 years after Arizona became a state.
Smith's idea scores high marks.
Tombstone Unified School District Superintendent Karl Uterhardt says, "The community loves the building. You have great grandparents that say, 'Oh yeah, I graduated from here.' So, it's really important to the community."
So the front of the building will remain the same, but the inside will be transformed.
Smith's walks us through one of the classrooms.
"We may have to move this wall. We'll have to cut in new doors," he says.
Even the gymnasium will play a part.
"Barbara, this area here, we hope to turn it into a convention center, or musical production areas," Smith says.
Smith says he wants to do something for Tombstone, such as bringing in more tourism and jobs.
And he wants to do something for visitors who appreciate the rich history.
"We want to show the people the actual wild west. Everybody in our hotel will be dressed in period costumes. We hope to even have a stagecoach pick them up, take them to town," Smith says.
Uterhardt says, "If you go anywhere in the world, this is the most famous rural town in America. Tombstone. Everybody knows it. I mean it's the OK Corral gunfight. That's what you hear. So, they want to come see that, and this will be a great attraction for everybody."
It's a grand plan. The hope is people from all over the world will be staying here by the end of 2011.
Rural Arizona has another historic school-turned-hotel.
Noftsger Hill Elementary School in Globe was built in 1907.
It's now a bed and breakfast: The Noftsger Hill Inn.
Visitors to Noftsger Hill stay in the actual classrooms that have been left much the way they were 100 years ago, complete with blackboards.
The rooms are huge and decorated with antiques.

It's Matt. I made Butter in a Jar back when I was a kid as a youth activity. It was very easy and just took some time. So the other day at the store I grabbed some Heavy Whipping Cream and planned a night with the kids to make butter. It is really easy and will provide some tasty and easily home made butter!
- Heavy Whipping Cream – any amount 6 cups makes about 1 pound of butter
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon per pound of butter- optional, used for preserving butter
- Jar – with lid, any size, baby food jars are great for kids to make it with
Pour Heavy Whipping Cream into jars no more then 3/4 the way full. It is best to leave room for the shaking and turning action. Next begin shaking! And Shake and Shake. Some music to shake too makes it fun for the kids and helps pass time. Something with a fun and quick beat. The best way I figured to shake the jar was to hold it length wise in my hands with the lid in my palms and the base of the jar wedge in my forearms.
It takes about 5 minutes before you notice a thickening forming in the jar. This heaviness is the beginning of the fat changing and sticking together. At this point you really just have a thick whip cream in the jar. Keep shaking. At this point the jar edges will look like:
As another 5-10 minutes pass you will notice the jar filling with the foamy cream. It feels as if there is no room in the jar as the thick Heavy Cream is aerated even more with the shaking, but keep shaking. It will look like this:

Been getting this question a lot here lately--crabs must be runnin', I guess, and folks got stuffed crabs on their minds. Here's the question: So, Frank. . .what's the proper way of fixing mock crabmeat so I can make mock stuffed crabs? Here's the scoop!
1. You make mock "fake" crabmeat by using poached drum or sheepshead. They take the place of crabmeat.
2. Liquid crab boil works a whole lot better than the bagged stuff.
3. I suggest you poach (not boil) the fillets. And use fillets--not the whole drum or sheepshead. Using just the fillets eliminates the blood line in the fish.
4. I have also found over the years that sheepshead instead of drum produces a whole lot better mock crabmeat because of its texture.
5. The proper technique is to bring the water to a boil in a large stainless steel skillet. Then season the water with crabboil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and whatever else you like in your crabmeat. Then when the water comes up to a rolling boil, drop in the fillets. . .BUT IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE FIRE, REMOVE THE SKILLET FROM THE BURNER, COVER THE SKILLET WITH A TIGHT-FITTING LID, AND LET THE FISH POACH UNTIL THE MEAT IS WHITE AND FLAKES EASILY WITH A FORK (it doesn't take very long--the fish cooks quickly). This way the fish will not overcook and will retain its crabmeat consistency.
When it flakes easily, remove the fillets from the skillet and let them drain on a wire rack. You can use them as mock crabmeat and turn them into a "stuffing" once they cool completely. Ummm!
If you need any additional help, don't be reluctant to let me know. Post your remarks and comments right here!
