Earlier this week, a family's Christmas joy was taken away when thieves ransacked their home and stole all of their gifts.
A single mother of two told us this was the first year she was able to buy presents and knew she couldn't afford to replace them.
On Friday, this family's joy was rekindled thanks to the Families Giving Back organization and FOX 10 viewers.
"I think that's what I was most upset about was my kids' Christmas presents that I finally bought on my own and for them to be able to help me and replace everything it feels amazing," said Sharlene Despain.
People donated Christmas presents to the family and their television was also replaced.

On February 26, 2013, the Supreme Court decided Clapper v. Amnesty International USA, which clarified the standard to establish Article III standing for claims based on impending or future harm. The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision by Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., held that plaintiffs must demonstrate harm that is "certainly impending," not speculative, to satisfy the injury-in-fact requirement of standing. The Court also held that plaintiffs may not "manufacture" standing "by inflicting harm on themselves based on their fears of hypothetical future harm that is not certainly impending."
The decision has important implications for suits in federal court relating to Internet privacy and data security. Plaintiffs in such cases often rely on fear of future harm—that the defendant's conduct has left them susceptible to identity theft or future privacy breaches, for example—or that they have incurred costs in order to avoid future harm. Federal courts will lack jurisdiction over such claims unless plaintiffs can show that the harm or injury that they allege is certainly impending, rather than merely possible.

It's amazing to me that for nine and a half years, Gesias Cavalcante has been an active mixed martial artist. At the tender age of 30, he is considered to be a veteran of the sport. One of the old guard.
The last couple years have presented a bumpy road for the young Brazilian, but he feels that through adversity, he gains strength. 'I believe God only gives the hardest things to the people that can handle them' is something he told me when I interviewed him last week.
JZ fights tonight, and he won't be facing some ham and egger chump. He'll be meeting a super tough opponent in Tyson Griffin, and my money is on this bout turning out to be a fight of the night type scrap. When I spoke to Cavalcante, he seemed to be at peace with all the ups and downs he's experienced both in and out of the cage.
One thing that stuck out to me most, was his assessment of his opponent. Instead of pointing out a specific weakness or strength, he feels that they have a lot in common, and is approaching the fight from that standpoint. He also spoke about the differences in Zuffa and WSOF. Here's what he had to say:
Tyson Griffin
Most fighters always like to talk about the differences they have with the guy that they're fighting. Me and Tyson, we have so much in common. We've both been through ups and downs, he's well rounded, same as me. I cannot come out and say, 'I'm gonna be stronger on this or that.' I think I'm going to come out and fight hard and so is he.
My strongest point isn't some new trick. It's the knowledge I've gained from the things I've gone through that makes me feel stronger. I'm in a good place now. I've been searching for things inside myself, and finally, I think I've found them. Hopefully, it will show in my fight.
The way they treat me is way better than when I was with Strikeforce. It's been more personal and definitely more fair. They listen if we have something to complain about. They sit down and do their best to get it worked out. I have not had any problems with them.
I had something in my contract I wanted changed, and they came and we talked and worked it right out. When something like that happened with Zuffa when I was in Strikeforce, I had something I wanted to fix on my contract, and they just said ' It's going to be our way. If you don't like it, then leave it', and that was it.
For the fighters, I don't think that's the way a company should be. That's the kind of power they have right now. The fighters are all waiting for another big organization to come along. I'm hoping that World Series of Fighting can be that one we've been waiting for.

I got a ton of photos of the aftermath. I just got home. I left the house around 6am with a friend and we explored the city for 9 hours on foot. I have to edit down the photos to a manageable number, and I'll be posting the best ones later tonight! Today was such an adventure! I'm exhausted, hungry, and sore, but it was well worth it getting the shots that I did.

Numerologists take note: at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11, the Camden County Board of Freeholders will plant 11 trees to commemorate victims of the Sept. 11 attacks on the 11th anniversary of the tragedy.
The trees will be placed around the Camden County Victims of Terrorism Memorial, which is located on North Park Drive in Cooper River Park.
It's a fitting addition to the monument, says its creator, Haddonfield sculptor John Giannotti, and a testament to the way in which tributes to the fallen can take on lives of their own long after their creation.
The memorial was dedicated 10 years ago, on the one-year anniversary of 9/11—a unique feat, Giannotti says, and possible only because he'd been working on it for about seven or eight months prior for a different reason.
It was initially commissioned by another Haddonfield resident, Stan Maslowski, whose daughter Diane perished in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103. Giannotti designed a seven-column cloister with bronze plaques to honor each of seven Camden County families who had lost loved ones in that crash.
The date that he was to present his model of the memorial to the committee funding the project: Sept. 13, 2011. Giannotti was prepared to expect some changes.
"I walked into that meeting, and I did not say anything, because I didn't feel it was my place," Giannotti said.
"I'm paraphrasing, but Stan said, 'This monument just got a whole lot bigger.'"
From that point, the committee decided to broaden the focus of the tribute to include other American victims of terrorism, starting with the U.S. Marines killed in the embassy bombings in Beirut and culminating in those lost on 9/11.
The process of creating the memorial was "very affecting," Giannotti says, and he's proud to have helped bring it to life. Although he's worked on other tributes to firefighters and rescue workers, , there's nothing else in his resume quite like it.
The Victims of Terrorism Memorial commemorates those Camden County residents lost in the following tragedies:
- April 18, 1983 - U.S. embassy bombing in Beirut, Lebanon
- Oct. 23, 1983 - U.S. Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, Lebanon
- Dec. 21, 1988 - Pan Am Flight 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland
- Feb. 26, 1993 - World Trade Center bombing, New York, NY
- April 19, 1995 - Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City, OK
- Aug. 7, 1998 - U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania
- Oct. 12, 2000 - USS Cole bombing in Gulf of Yemen
- Sept. 11, 2001 - plane crashes at the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Shanksville, PA

Winsford United striker Dominic Marie earns deal with FC Halifax Town after trial spell
4:14pm Monday 10th February 2014 in Sport By Andrew Simpson, Senior Sports Writer
TEENAGER Dominic Marie, a striker, has signed for Skrill Premier play-offs contenders FC Halifax Town from Winsford United.
The front man, on target for Blues three times this season in the North West Counties League, has impressed manager Neil Aspin while training with the Shaymen over the past few weeks.
He will spend the remainder of the campaign on loan with Blues.
Marie, 18, makes the same switch as Lois Maynard last summer.
The versatile defender has been a regular in the starting line-up during Halifax's return to non-league's top tier, amassing more than 30 starts in league and cup.
Midfielder Jake Hibbs has joined Winsford on loan from Halifax as part of the arrangement.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Rain, thunderstorms and lightning moved into the Southland today, briefly interrupting Metro Blue Line service in Long Beach and causing an uptick in traffic crashes during the morning commute.
National Weather Service forecasters said the rain would be light, except when accompanying thunderstorms, which could also generate hail and gusty winds. Additionally, waterspouts are possible off the Orange county coast, forecasters said.
Lightning strikes could be seen off the coast this morning.
In Long Beach, lightning strikes reported about 7 a.m. knocked out service on the Blue Line between the Willow, Wardlow and Del Amo stations for about an hour, and prompted Metro to send buses to take passengers between those locations.
California Highway Patrol Officer Francisco Villalobos said there was a slight increase in the number of accidents reported during the morning commute, when sporadic rainfall was reported in various areas.
About 7:45 a.m., a truck carrying a load of wooden pallets overturned and blocked the transition road from the Eastbound Santa Monica (10) Freeway to the northbound Golden State (5) Freeway near downtown Los Angeles, Villalobos said. It was unclear if rain was involved in that accident.
The lion's share of today's precipitation was expected to reach land this afternoon.
Today's damp weather, expected to last through this evening, is the product of a cold upper-level low-pressure system. The snow level will generally remain above 7,000 feet, and there could be up to 3 inches of snow at higher elevations in the San Gabriels, according to the NWS.
The NWS forecast highs today of 55 on Mount Wilson; 65 at LAX; 66 in Avalon; 67 in San Gabriel; 68 in Long Beach, Downtown L.A., Saugus, Palmdale and Burbank; 69 in Pasadena and Lancaster; 70 in Newport Beach; and 71 in Anaheim.
A warming trend will begin under partly cloudy skies Friday and send temperatures back into the 80s on Sunday, according to a long-range NWS forecast.

Vacation Rentals in Iceland
Iceland Rental Results
Iceland Local Information and Area Highlights
Travel to Iceland / Iceland Vacation Rentals
Geothermal land, glaciers, waterfalls, warm people, culture from village to city, and temperate climates invite vacationers to Iceland. Your Iceland vacation rental will be near to a pleasant overload of the senses.
Iceland Glacier Tours
Since glaciers cover approximately ten to twelve percent of Iceland, why not try a glacier tour? Generally, these tours are accomplished by snowmobile or jeep, but some all-terrain vehicles are used to make the tour. It is not suggested to try to tour on your own, since there exist hidden cracks within the glaciers. Many expert tour guides are available to make the most of your tour. The Vatnajökull glacier alone covers about eight percent of the country, and has active volcanoes underneath its cap. So much more breathtaking beauty is sitting in front of you at the glaciers of Iceland. If you're looking for a little adventure, then Iceland vacation rentals will do just the trick.
Iceland Vacation Spots
North Iceland is a region shaped by both glaciers and volcanic activity, and the scenery is resplendent. Lake Myvatn and the surrounding area is prime for birdwatching, and craters and hot springs just add to the varied colors of the geothermic land. Jokulsargljufur National Park contains Dettifoss and its wonder of being the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Superior whale watching opportunities exist off of Husavik in the Skjalfandi Bay. The Skagafjordur District is both known for riding horses and its historic buildings.
South Iceland is full of natural attractions, and fittingly receives the name of the Golden Circle. Gullfoss is a magnificent waterfall, and the Hvita River makes its own two-tier waterfall as it cascades. Geothermal lands surround Geysir, from which springs around the world received their name and the Strokkur geyser actively sprays every few minutes. Don't miss the ice wonders of Vatnajökull, an immense icecap inside the Skaftafell National Park. Whether it's the Saga Age farm in Stong, or the regional folk museum in Skogar, history also abounds in this region of Iceland.
East Iceland is a notably uninhabited area for the majority of its area, but the landscape is breathtaking. From snow-capped mountains to the coastal fjords, this area is not to be missed for hikers. Fishing villages line the coast, and black sand beaches are located at Höfn, from where whale-watching cruises depart. Egilsstadir is the largest town in the region, located inland, and has a number of vacation cottages. The population of reindeer in Iceland isn't far away from Egilsstadir. Seydisfjordur has period houses from around the turn of the 20th century.
West Iceland is replete with lava formations, wooded areas, and waterfalls. Fishing in both the lakes and rivers is quite appealing, and the glacial cap of Snaefellsjokull is a beautifully shimmering formation. The West Fjords provide a truly striking contrast between the high cliffs and sea. Central Highlands is uninhabited by humans, and nature is most virgin - a combination of glaciers, active and inactive volcanoes, hot springs, and pockets of vegetation. You can take a dip in the warm waters of Viti (translated as Hell) or travel in a weighty 4-wheel drive vehicle over the black sands of Sprengisandur.
Reykjavik is a very progressive city and capital located in Southwest Iceland. If you are looking for energy-filled nightlife, look no further; you may be spending all night at a club. The music culture in Reykjavik widely ranges from classical and chamber music to independent rock. Arbaer Museum provides life to history in folk traditions, and has buildings and period pieces on display. Relax in a number of thermal pools, take in a round or two of golf, and get around this ultra-clean city using a bicycle. Akureyri is the second-largest city in Iceland, and it boasts about having the best skiing area in the country, along with other winter sports available such as snowboarding and skating. A strong cultural life also characterizes Akureyri, with plenty of theaters and art museums. A vast array of floral life is at the Botanical Garden, and Akureyri hosts the northernmost golf tournament each June.
Vacation Rentals in Iceland, and your Iceland Vacation
After learning about all the cool Iceland vacation spots, you're probably ready to explore! But unless you've booked one of the Iceland vacation rentals out there, you're denying yourself a great vacation.

WEST CHESTER, PA (CBS) - A 9-year-old Pennsylvania boy plans to run a marathon tomorrow in Antarctica. He's doing it for a good cause, but many experts don't think children should be running such long distances.
While most 9-year-old boys are focused on playing video games or skateboarding, Nikolas Toocheck is training for marathons. He says, "I like running better than watching TV and stuff."
His dad says he first saw his passion before he was born. Daniel Toocheck says, "Well I guess he's always been active even when he was in the womb. I mean his feet were always moving."
Nikolas ran his first race when he was 6-years-old. He completed his first marathon in December in just under six hours.
For most adults, running one marathon is grueling enough, but this fourth grader from West Chester, Pennsylvania, won't stop there.
Should a 9-year-old be running marathons? His mom "He's not looking to compete in these marathons he's looking to complete them. He's not being hard on his body by running and pounding with coaches pushing him trying to meet times, things like that."
Some marathons do allow children to race, but no studies have ever been done on the long-term health effects. And the International Marathon Medical Directors Association thinks kids running such long distances are a bad idea. Their statement says, "Children are not small adults. Their anatomy and physiology are developing and not fully mature."
His mom says, "We were worried about the long term effects to the growth plates, is there any detriment to that. That's why we went to the doctors to make sure that he's safe. (The doctors say) Yeah they don't have any reservations with the way he's doing it."
You could say Nikolas is following in the footsteps of his father, an Air Force reservist, medical doctor, and avid marathoner himself. Together, they go on long training runs four to five times a week. Nikolas says, "Like, if it's raining outside I don't say like, 'Hey it's raining, we can't go run.' We go out in any weather."
That training could come in handy during the White Continent Marathon in Antarctica. Mom says it freaked her out a bit at first. She says, "Well yeah, I thought the same stereotypical like, what are you kidding me? You're not taking my kid in negative degrees and running on glaciers." Dad adds, "But we are running on Kind George Island, part of the 2-percent that is not covered in ice." Nik says, "I think it will be really fun. I'm really excited to meet a penguin."
Nikolas also hopes every stride he takes will help Operation Warm, a charity started by his grandfather to provide winter coats for needy children. Operation Warm founder Dick Sanford says, "He's trying to raise a million dollars through a million footsteps."
After Nikolas finishes his seventh marathon, he has his sights on a 100-mile race, over five days, through the Himalayas. Moms says, "Something he said to us early on is: I'm small, and I'm making a difference in the world. The fact that that came out is the most, I mean, I'm going to cry. It's just so... Incredible to me."

Jada Pinkett Smith
The petite half of one of Hollywood's most prominent power couples got her start studying dance at the Baltimore School For The Arts alongside Tupac Shakur and as Miss Maryland 1988. She quit attending the North Carolina School of Arts when friend Keenan Ivory Wayans found her an agent. While she got her big break first in TV on the "Cosby" spinoff "A Different World" in 1991, she quickly made the switch to film and wouldn't return to the small screen full-time until 2009's "Hawthorne," a TNT series on which she played a nurse. While she has done a few comedies ("The Nutty Professor", the "Madagascar" franchise, "A Low Down Dirty Shame." "Kingdom Come"), her bread and butter has been roles of a more serious variety in films like "Menace II Society" (1993), "Scream 2," the "Matrix" sequels, "Collateral" and "Reign Over Me." In 1997, she became royalty when she married Fresh Prince Will Smith and they welcomed son Jaden in 1998 and daughter Willow in 2000. The couple started Overbrook Entertainment, through which she has produced projects like the 2003-2007 TV series "All Of Us" and the recent documentary "Free Angela and All Political Prisoners" as well as vehicles for her children like "The Karate Kid" remake and "After Earth." She is a part-owner in the skincare line Carol's Daughter and fronts a heavy metal band called Wicked Wisdom, which released its first CD in 2006 and toured with Ozzfest.

Labour wins postponed Colindale vote in Barnet Borough Council election
Updated 3:16pm Wednesday 2nd July 2014 in News By Anna Slater and Natalie O'Neill
Labour has retained all three seats in Colindale, securing the party's largest ever number of councillors in the borough.
Longstanding councillors Gill Sargeant and Zakia Zubairi were re-elected alongside first-time councillor Nagus Narenthira. The three celebrated their victory as the results were announced at Hendon Town Hall this evening.
Labour's success came as no surprise to most, considering the party has held all three seats in the ward since 1968.
Despite the rest of Barnet's councillors being voted in last month, the Colindale election was postponed owing to the death of Green Party candidate Jessica Yorke, who died just a few days before the May 22 election.
The party narrowly missed out on securing a majority in last month's polls, with the Conservatives securing just two extra seats.
See how the evening progressed by reading our live blog from the count.
But following its success tonight, Labour has its largest number of members with 30 councillors - topping its current record of 26.
Leader of the Labour Group Councillor Alison Moore said: "It's fantastic. We have had councillors in place here for several decades and it's a really emphatic victory.
"We now have the biggest Labour group we have ever had. We are within a hair's breadth of taking control of the council.
"It shows people of Barnet are clearly dismissive of the Conservatives' offer, which is mass privatisation."
New Labour councillor Narenthira has been part of the Labour Party for 15 years and said she was thrilled to have been given the opportunity to represent Colindale.
She said: "It's one of the happiest moments of my life.
"I'm passionate about infrastructure in Colindale and having lived here for a long time, I'm looking forward to starting work here."
Cllr Zubairi added: "We're so proud and we can't wait to continue our good work in Colindale."
Cllr Sargeant agreed. She said: "The result shows we've got a real support in Colindale."
But Conservative council leader Cllr Richard Cornelius was nowhere to be seen as results were announced, having made an appearance for a brief ten minutes just after 10.30pm.
The Colindale election had a turnout of 27.8 per cent, meaning just 3,210 people voted.
Labour took a staggering 68 per cent of the votes, representing a ten per cent swing to the party.
Cllr Sargeant received 2,088 votes, Cllr Zubairi got 2,015 and Cllr Narenthira 2,290.
Barnet Borough Council is now made up of 32 Conservative councillors, Labour has 30, and the Liberal Democrats have just one.

Local Colindale resident says...
Now do what you have promised for the people who have voted and No excuses. COMMUNITY FIRST.
1) Crime in your ward Colindale is out of control. Handle it Swiftly.
2) Over Development / Actually itself Already Developed and more development in the next coming years on sites of British library / oriental plaza Peel centre and more etc were-by local hospitals / schools / traffic / crime is just out of order and Over Flowed were-by it can NOT cope any more.
Stop the Development on the homebase area as one of labour Cllr Zakia Zubairi was on 19th June at public exhibition opposing it and looking to do more for the locals. SEE LINK:
Dare to all the Cllr's / Mayor Boris / Barnet officials who always say COMMUNITY FIRST, so dare to all to put the community first over developers.
We as Locals spent our lives living and in coming future years we all want an area were it makes a symbol/example to all that our childrens/lives grow in an environment with overall stability. This can only happen if we locals stand as One and The Barnet / Labour etc do something about and NOT Big Talk No Action.
Urge all Locals put your voice if you do not this just gives an upper hand/liberty to take us locals for granted that if locals are not voicing they will just come, develop and go who will suffer ?......
(Note: this Developers(Directors
) are not living in the area - its us The Locals)
This place is in much need of: Good Hospitals. Schools or good cinemas with Good Restaurant eg Nando's, GBK, Jimmys, Chinese etc WERE by community can or comes out to-gather not more homes in an Already Over developed area.

. A new GP Surgery or Hospital is what is needed. Not ANOTHER development. Look around Asda & where the old Wicks were. The place is becoming more Claustrophobic with high rise apartments. Colindale will turn into a concrete jungle with no infrastructure to support this. Too many Car Dealerships and Appartments. Even more being built around West Hendon and at McDonalds Colindale. It's impossible to get Medical appointments around here. A new GP surgery is what is needed.

To: the Chllr's (labour) / Party in Power / Mayor Boris / Barnet Council and to all relevant persons.
STOP TALKING BIG and SHOW SOME ACTION....... IF YOU REALLY CARE "Community First"
Take steps / action to the following:
1) CRIME which is just out of order in colindale.
2) OVER DEVELOPED and more development which is a clear favouritism to Developers over Local Community First.
3) NO INFRASTRUCTURE at all.
4) NOT enough open space / parks for the Locals.
5) Policing reduced due to so called common sense out of the window from the parties in control.
6) The Area itself is OVER FLOWED / out of line were-by its not capable any more.
Urging All locals to come to-gather and put a voice / petition etc.
Wake up: Colindale / Hendon / Burnt oak etc catchment areas.
Area is in much need of: Zero tolerance on crime etc.
Good Hospital / Schools / Cinema with Resturants eg Nando's / GBK / jimmey's / chinese etc
NOTE: We as Locals have every RIGHT and POWER over to this so call party (leaders) and the developers.
A simple message to all Lets Voice to-gather or else they will just have a upper hand and developers will just come, build and go..... WHO WILL SUFFER ?........

They were hoping for a minority Labour council (like that rather brilliant one we had in the 90s? The one that bought all the street-cleaning gear, that the Tories sold off at below market value after the following election? The council that made the wise decision to sell Barnet FC a controlling stake in Underhill for cost, rather than the one that spent many times the original sum, persecuting the football club (Which has now left the borough that it represents, because the Tory Council wouldn't deal with it), trying to establish that there was sharp practice in the deal.
How much did that enquiry cost? What did it end up saying?
Then there's Iceland ...
The next election will fall towards the middle of the ten year One Barnet period. Around the time, the various concerns who have bought a stake in our municipal logistical infrastructure decide to capitalize on their investment. They're going to put the screws on us - and this council is the same one that sold them all this stuff in the first place.
They've played this wrong.

@Local Colindale resident: Is there a petition that can be set up/Facebook page/Twitter group/Friends Of Colindale that can be contacted to bring some sense back to this whole affair before local apathy enables Colindale to be just Car Dealerships, Developers' Quick Sales all ultimately causing a loss of much needed Community facilities and infrastructure for the Colindale as we know it?

PITTSBURGH—The night-shift welding course at the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) will begin January 25 with a kick-off reception for students, faculty and administrators. The reception from 10:30 to 11 p.m. at CCAC–West Hills center (1000 McKee Rd., Oakdale) is open to members of the press.
CCAC's "midnight welding" course runs from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday nights until June 21. Students will study the same curriculum as the college's regular Welding Technology certificate. The special hours were introduced due to high demand for the program and lack of space in the welding lab at West Hills center.
As of January 20, the course was full, with 16 students registered. During the kick-off reception, which follows an orientation session, students will have access to the bookstore as well as a vendor offering tools and equipment. The reception will also offer light refreshments—and, of course, plenty of coffee.

Areas of cloud with isolated thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea are associated with a deep low pressure system and an upper level disturbance. Moist onshore flow has brought areas of low level cloud to coastal New South Wales.
A large band of cloud with embedded thunderstorms can be seen near southwest WA associated with an active cold front. High level cloud can be seen ahead of this front in the Bight.
The remainder of the country is mostly clear due to the presence of a high pressure ridge.

PLAINFIELD — Offenders from the Plainfield Correctional Facility worked into the wee hours of the morning Thanksgiving Day to help provide a meal to the homeless. This is the third year the facility has been in charge of making the stuffing for the Mozel Sanders Foundation Thanksgiving meal.
Ben Grosvenor, food service director for the facility, works with offenders who volunteered their time to help prepare the stuffing.
"They all get excited because they are contributing," Grosvenor said. "I actually had 30 guys volunteer but chose 13 for the job."
The offenders were chosen from men enrolled in the PLUS program or the In2Work program.
"These are time-cut programs," Grosvenor said. "When they complete the program they get six months cut off their time."
The offenders prepared 50,000 servings of stuffing for the meal. They cooked 12 kettles of stuffing that hold 100 gallons each. The stuffing was then transferred into pans and baked in the facility's new oven.
"We added this new oven in October," Grosvenor said. "It was $35,000 and the racks can just roll into the oven."
This was the second year Aaron Boyer was chosen to help cook and bake the stuffing. He said it's nice to help the community when the chance is given.
"I started in culinary arts at the New Castle facility," he said. "When I came here I finished up."
His job within the facility is to help prepare food for offenders with special diets.
"We have all kinds of diets," Boyer said. "We have diabetic diets, renal diets, vegans, and allergies. We have all of it here."
Boyer is a graduate of the In2Work program and will be released after serving his time before the end of the year.

My brother and I noticed a HUGE branch laying in the street during the storm. It was blocking the whole street and the drains! We took on the task to move it out of the way. It wasn't easy, but with some help, we prevailed!

Athens Drive offensive tackle Tyler Smith wasn't scared when he lined up across from Greenville J.H. Rose defensive end Kentavius Street two weeks ago, although a lot of people told him he should be.
Smith isn't a little guy. The junior is 5-foot-11 and weighs 238 pounds. He also has some moxie.
Kentavius Street, 6-3, 265 pounds, is ranked the No.1 defensive line prospect in the country by many recruiting experts. He has baskets full of recruiting propaganda. He has scholarship offers from all over the country.
Street is one of the most highly recruited players in the country. Smith was starting his first varsity game when they squared off a couple of weeks ago.
"All week before the game, people were saying 'Kentavius Street. Kentavius Street. He's an All-American. He's going to kill you.' Whatever," Smith said.
Naturally, Smith had a healthy does of respect for the Rose all-star, but he didn't want to go into the game mentally defeated.
"I looked at it as he was another high school football player. He breathes air, the same air that I breathe," Smith said. "He was just another player breathing air just like me."
Street and his Rose teammates dominated Athens in the opener in Greenville, winning 28-0.
Coach Chris Martin said it was a thorough beating.
"We couldn't do much with them at all," Martin said. "It wasn't just Street. They've got great linebackers and tremendous team speed. It was a tough situation to be breaking in a new quarterback. Rose is so quick."
Smith said the overall speed of the Rose defense was decisive.
"They all swarm to the ball. That was something that we couldn't handle," he said. "They really covered the receivers well and it was hard to find someone to throw to."
During a rain delay, Martin went into the Rose football offense and glanced at the Gryphons workout charts. Rose has 10 players who have run 40 yards in 4.5 seconds or faster. Athens has none.
As far as the individual match-up between the varsity rookie starter and one of the nation's best, Smith said he thought he did all right.
"He was much bigger and stronger than me. I could tell that right away," he said. "When he'd bull-rush me, I'd back up and then push back like I was suppose to. I think I did OK. On the running plays, I think I did my job most of the time."
Athens rebounded from the opening loss to defeat Broughton 22-21. The Jaguars rushed for 306 yards, including 264 by Dominique Lynch.

Health officials at Children's Hospital Central California say they're seeing an epidemic of RSV, or "Respiratory Syncytial Virus". Doctors say the virus is often mistaken for the common cold, but it can be very serious for babies since they haven't built up the immunity to fight it off.
The virus is passed from one child to another through contact. It usually
starts as a sore throat, runny nose, congestion, and makes it hard to breath.
Doctors say it strikes during the winter more often because kids are around
so many people during the holidays.
They say this year, business at the hospital is booming, "We are
packed. Our numbers being seen in the emergency room have gone from 200 say
this time of year last year, to over 350 some days," says Dr. Robert
So what can you do to protect your child? Doctors say don't take babies to
grocery stores or malls, keep them away from other children who might be sick,
and wash your hands often.

Seed-wise, if 28th-seeded Serena Williams defeated ninth-seed Samantha Stosur in Sunday's U.S. Open Women's Final, that would be considered an upset. Yet, when it really comes down to it, Williams has proven that she is anything but an underdog.
Williams, in her fifth career U.S. Open Final, will look to add her 14th overall major title and fourth U.S. Open crown to her collection when she faces Stosur at 4 p.m. EDT.
In dominating fashion, Williams defeated the top-ranked player in the world, Caroline Wozniacki, 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals. Speaking of domination, Williams has yet to drop a set during this year's U.S. Open.
Meanwhile, Stosur, the 27-year-old from Australia, will play in her first U.S. Open Final after defeating 92nd-ranked Angelique Kerber 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 Saturday. Stosur may not be as decorated as Williams, but has earned some impressive accolades during this year's tournament. Stosur is the first Australian woman to reach the U.S. Open Final since 1977 and she played the longest tiebreaker in women's major tournament history as well as won the longest match time-wise during this tournament.
The match will be televised on CBS.

Very tasty, but I may try to make it a little different next time.
I made this yesterday for a Memorial Day picnic and everyone loved it. Since so many say the pudding was too thin, I used 1/2 cup 2% milk and a 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. It was perfect. More calories, but well worth it.
Tastes wonderful!! Had some trouble filling the berries, but I'm not a pro at that. My diet is very carb restricted and I wanted to eat more than 2 berries in one sitting so I used unsweetened flax seed milk (unsweetened almond milk would work fine too. I just didn't have any) instead of dairy milk. And I subbed the whipped topping with zero carbs by whipping up a batch of fresh whipped cream made from heavy whipping cream and Splenda before adding the extract. Would make this again!
Amazing and so easy! It is a crowd pleaser! I used chocolate icing!
I doubled it, used: 2c skim milk, 2 pkg white choc pudding, 12oz cool whip and almond. I served it with strawberries as a dip; it was a huge success!

Smoke may blow out the ears of students who smoke cigarettes, when Saranac Central School District tells them this September that they can no longer light up on school property. On a topic of discussion that spanned the Saranac School Board of Education's summer meetings, it was finally decided Aug. 17 to prohibit students from smoking in school or at an outside smoking area, which is where it was previously allowed.
New lifesaving technology planned for the city's ambulance service may cost $28,000 per year and will certainly result in higher ambulance user fees. Mayor Carlton Rennell said that advanced training for emergency medical technicians on the city's firefighting force – plus pay differential for those specially trained firemen pulling ambulance duty – will combine to force the fee hikes.
Dixie Mercier is pretty happy that the town of Plattsburgh just won't leave well enough alone.

John Linney threatened to sue the city for millions if the Municipal Lighting Department unplugs the power to his Plattsburgh Plaza store. Linney was cited for violations of an MLD regulation that prohibits multiple meters on single businesses. Refusing to alter his electrical system, Linney argued that the regulation has no basis in safety and that he is being singled out for prosecution.
Plattsburgh is going to get an $80,000 civic and recreational center as a gift from two senior citizens who "feel it's about time we did something for the city." The city's benefactors are Arthur H. and Wilfred D. Crete, both of South Catherine Street. One of the conditions of the gift is that the center, which will be a memorial to their parents, be erected within the boundaries of the city's Sixth Ward.

The State Civil Service Commission has approved entrance level pay raises for corrections officers to span from $5,280 to $6,470 and, with seniority increments, to $6,949.
Plattsburgh may have run into another snag in its search for a new dump site. Common Council approved designation of a site on Route 374, nine miles west of the city and a little west of Cadyville. But the Town of Plattsburgh is calling a special meeting to hear what promises to be a large number of complaints about the arrangements.
The First Squadron, Third Cavalry, 170 men and 150 horses, from Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., reached Plattsburgh Barracks and went into camp on the rifle range. The squadron, led by Lt. Col. T.H. Rees, Jr. is engaged in making a 300 mile practice march around Lake Champlain and Lake George.

"He Dotes On His Son and Ignores Me"
Her Turn
"When Jack and I were dating I was crazy about his son, Andy," said Beth, 38. "But ever since we got married, five years ago, and had two kids of our own, things have become increasingly tense with my stepson -- and my marriage hasn't been so great either. My husband and I are fighting all the time and Andy, who's 12 now, is usually at the center of our battles.
"Jack's divorce from his first wife was pretty bitter and he feels guilty about how it affected his son. But he's trying to make up for it by completely spoiling Andy, buying him anything he wants and doting on him completely. Whenever Andy is with us -- usually every Wednesday night and alternate weekends -- Jack ignores me and our kids, Kate, 4, and Ben, 3. Jack and Andy spend the entire weekend watching action movies or playing video games. Not only do I miss having private time with my husband, but I also hate being excluded from their lives.
"I also can't stand the way Andy treats me: He won't look me in the eye when he speaks to me. Usually all I'll get is a mumbled one-word answer. He never says 'please' or 'thank you' and doesn't lift a finger to help around the house, whether to bring his plate to the sink after dinner or keep his bedroom neat. 'I like it messy,' he snaps when I tell him to pick up the dirty clothes strewn across his bed. As for Kate and Ben, Andy barely speaks to them, and they're crazy about him.
"I try to talk to Jack about the situation but we always end up arguing. If I tell him he's too lenient with Andy, he tells me I don't appreciate how traumatic divorce is on a kid. If I say Andy's disrespectful, he accuses me of not liking his son. It's gotten so bad that we hardly ever have sex. I just don't feel romantic with this much tension.
"It's hard to believe that we were once so totally in love. I met Jack through a coworker and fell for him after our first date: He's a partner at a big law firm and he's really good-looking, supersmart, and fun to be around. He'd been separated for a couple of years when we began going out and was very open about his battles with his ex-wife over custody and money. He also talked a lot about how much he missed being involved in Andy's life on a day-to-day basis. I liked that he was such a committed dad.
"Andy was a cuddly 5-year-old when I first met him and I adored him. And I know the feeling was mutual. But things started to go downhill shortly after I married his dad. The fact that I got pregnant right away -- and had two babies within two years -- didn't help. But frankly, I think it was his ex who turned Andy against me. When he was with us she'd call several times a day and Andy would talk to her in a whisper. Once I overheard him say, 'She's not that bad, Mom.' But she has clearly brainwashed him.
"I really wish we could all get along when Andy is here. Despite the children's age gap I know there are family activities we could all do. But Jack hovers over his son like he's a visiting dignitary. Worse yet, he wants me to dote on him, too. Well, I consider Andy to be a family member, not a guest, and I expect him to follow the same rules that Jack enforces for Kate and Ben.
"This past weekend was the last straw. Instead of coming home after picking Andy up, Jack took him out for pizza and a movie -- and never called to tell me they'd be late. When I complained, he told me I have to respect his need for private time with his son.
"Believe me, I realize the situation is difficult for Andy and I also understand that his dad wants to have a good relationship with him. But I'm trying to create a family here. If things don't improve fast, my husband will be twice-divorced before he hits 40."

LOS ANGELES Ś It took Leatherface and his chainsaw to chase tiny hobbit Bilbo Baggins out of the top spot at the box office.
LionsgateÆs horror sequel ōTexas Chainsaw 3-Dö debuted at No. 1 with $23 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The movie picks up where 1974Æs ōThe Texas Chainsaw Massacreö left off, with masked killer Leatherface on the loose again.
Quentin TarantinoÆs revenge saga ōDjango Unchainedö held on at No. 2 for a second-straight weekend with $20.1 million. The Weinstein Co. release raised its domestic total to $106.4 million.
After three weekends at No. 1, part one of Peter JacksonÆs ōThe Hobbitö trilogy slipped to third with $17.5 million. That lifts the domestic haul to $263.8 million for ōThe Hobbit.ö The Warner Bros. blockbuster added $57.1 million overseas to bring its international earnings to $561 million and its worldwide total to about $825 million.
Also passing the $100 million mark over the weekend was UniversalÆs musical ōLes Miserables,ö which finished at No. 4 with $16.1 million, pushing its domestic total to $103.6 million.
Like other horror franchises, ōTexas Chainsaw Massacreö has had several other remakes or sequels, but the idea always seems ripe for a new wave of fright-flick fans. Nearly two-thirds of the audience was under 25, too young Ś or not even born Ś when earlier ōTexas Chainsaw Massacreö movies came out.
ōItÆs one of those that survives each generation. ItÆs something that continues to come back and entertain its audience,ö said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Lionsgate.
ōTexas Chainsawö drew a hefty 84 percent of its business from 3-D screenings. Many movies now draw 50 percent or less of their revenue from 3-D screenings, but horror fans tend to prefer paying extra to see blood and guts fly with an added dimension.
In narrower release, Matt DamonÆs natural-gas fracking drama ōPromised Landö had a slow start in its nationwide debut, coming in at No. 10 with $4.3 million after opening in limited release a week earlier.
Released by Focus Features, ōPromised Landö stars Damon as a salesman pitching rural residents on fracking technology to drill for natural gas. The film widened to 1,676 theaters, averaging a slim $2,573 a cinema, compared with $8,666 in 2,654 theaters for ōTexas Chainsaw.ö
Hollywood began the year where it left in 2012, when business surged during the holidays to carry the industry to a record $10.8 billion at the domestic box office.
Overall business this weekend came in at $149 million, up 7 percent from the same period last year, when ōThe Devil Insideö led with $33.7 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. But with strong business on New YearÆs Day last week, Hollywood already has raked in $254.2 million, 33 percent ahead of last year.
Box-office results ebb and flow quickly, so that lead could vanish almost overnight. But with a steady lineup of potential hits right through December, studios have a chance at another revenue record this year.
ōThe month that we had at the end of last year that led us to a record year continued right through New YearÆs and on now to the first official weekend of 2013,ö said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. ōWeÆre looking for an even stronger year this year. ThatÆs in the realm of possibility. But we have 51 weekends to go.ö
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. ōTexas Chainsaw 3-D,ö $23 million.
2. ōDjango Unchained,ö $20.1 million.
3. ōThe Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,ö $17.5 million ($57.1 million international).
4. ōLes Miserables,ö $16.1 million ($14.5 million international).
5. ōParental Guidance,ö $10.1 million.
6. ōJack Reacher,ö $9.3 million ($22.3 million international).
7. ōThis Is 40,ö $8.6 million.
8. ōLincoln,ö $5.3 million.
9. ōThe Guilt Trip,ö $4.5 million.
10. ōPromised Land,ö $4.3 million.
Estimated weekend ticket sales at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak:
1. ōLife of Pi,ö $60.1 million.
2. ōThe Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,ö $57.1 million.
3. ōJack Reacher,ö $22.3 million.
4. ōWreck-It Ralph,ö $19.5 million.
5. ōLes Miserables,ö $14.5 million.
6. ōRise of the Guardians,ö $9.6 million.
7. ōThree Warriors on Distant Shores,ö $9 million.
8. ōSkyfall,ö $7.4 million.
9. ōThe Impossible,ö $7 million.

HARRINGTON, Del. - If you don't feel like staying outdoors all day, there are many booths right around WMDT's section inside the Exhibit Hall, from cooking classes to voter registration.
Elected officials even made the trip out to Harrington this afternoon, including Senator Chris Coons, who has been talking to concerned voters. Senator Coons tells WMDT that while at the fair, he's heard about concerns over jobs and the debt.
"Gives me an opportunity to hear from Delawareans real concerns, not filtered through an email or a letter that comes to my office, but directly, and to get a chance to be accountable to the people I represent."
Next week, Coons says the Senate could discuss reducing money students are spending on loans and an energy efficiency bill.

SOUTH PASADENA - City Manager Sergio Gonzalez said Wednesday that former Los Angeles Police Department Captain Art Miller will take over as police chief.
Miller will start work on Monday. Current Chief Joe Payne, who resigned last month, leaves Friday, Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said he contacted a professional search firm but did not find any acceptable candidates, so he went back to some of the candidates that applied for the job with Payne two and a half years ago.
Miller served with the LAPD for 34 years in many different capacities, including patrol, internal affairs, public information and the metro division, Gonzalez said.
"One of the reasons I chose him was the many different assignments he had under his belt as an LAPD officer," Gonzalez said. "I think he would also bring to South Pasadena not only his experience in a large organization but also his ability to engage the community. He is very community-minded."
Miller does not have a contract but will be officially sworn in on Monday, Gonzalez said.
The South Pasadena Police Department posted a welcome message on its Twitter feed Wednesday afternoon, saying "The SPPD is proud to welcome our new Chief, retired LAPD Captain Art Miller."
But some, including Councilman Philip Putnam, wonder why Payne left in the first place.
Payne, in a Jan. 22 resignation letter, said he resigned after reaching a "mutual agreement" with Gonzalez.
Gonzalez did not make a public announcement about Payne's departure, and said he could not disclose what he and Payne discussed in a series of meetings before the Jan. 22 letter because it was a personnel matter.
Putnam said he has never heard a complaint about Payne's performance, so his resignation came as a shock. He said Payne's allegation that he was asked to step down seems similar to his predecessor Dan Watson's resignation in December 2009, after he was asked by the city council to reapply for his job in a review of the police department.
"As a resident of the city I am concerned, and I've heard from other residents who are concerned about why the police chief was supposedly let go when there seems to be no reason for it," Putnam said. "It's certainly puzzling."
He said he plans to ask the city attorney what power the council has to find out more about the personnel issues involved.
"When you hear nothing it has got to bother you. There was a reason for this happening and I don't know what it is," Putnam said.
Councilwoman Marina Khubesrian said she has confidence in Gonzalez's decision, and said it is ultimately not the council's place to deal with personnel issues.
"I don't really feel like it's my place to tell Sergio what to do with his department heads," Khubesrian. "I feel like he's doing what he feels like he needs to do and what's best for the city."
Councilman Michael Cacciotti agreed, saying he did not feel it was his job to "micro-manage" Gonzalez's decisions. He said he met Miller on Wednesday and was "very impressed."
"He is well qualified," Cacciotti said, "and he has a lot of the qualities and attributes of some of our former chiefs."

From dirty Huskies let's segue way into talking about bunch of bitter Huskies up in Seattle. We already brought your attention a series of articles the Seattle Times ran few weeks ago about the legal problems concerning the 2000 Rose Bowl team few weeks ago. Up until now CRN didn't provide any comment on those articles. However, recently he talked to Matt Hayes from Sporting News about it:
"There are some things I could have done differently," Neuheisel said. "In Jeremy's case, I should've been harder on him after the reckless driving incident. I should have sent a message."
As for the Stevens rape allegations: "I listened to our athletic director (Barbara Hedges) on how best to proceed. There's a proper (legal) code of conduct there. In retrospect, considering what happened with the Duke case, it's easy to say someone is guilty. I am not claiming guilt or innocence -- we simply had to follow the proper code of conduct."
As for the rest of the series: "Most of that stuff happened before I got there," Neuheisel says.
Neuheisel says he refused comment to the Times on the investigation because he still feels the newspaper has a personal vendetta against him. He told me the same thing four years ago when I went to Seattle to write about his lawsuit against the NCAA and Washington.
Going back to present Hayes exposes how this time around the people from the Seattle Times who decided to drudge up the past might have had some other motives behind running these articles. I am going to excerpt liberally from Hayes piece in the Sporting News because I think everyone needs to read these grafs:
Boardman's answer was, "...We did not intend to impact UW recruiting one way or another, though in retrospect the story seems more likely to hurt recruiting by UCLA, where Neuheisel is the new coach, than it does at (Washington)."
That response was published Sunday, Feb. 3 -- three days before National Signing Day.
Let me explain something, everyone: This is the executive editor of a major newspaper; the only higher authority at the Times is the publisher. The paper gets its direction, its philosophy, from the editor.
That response takes on more of an anti-Neuheisel spin after you read the reaction Ted Miller had to the Times' recent series on Washington. Miller is currently a columnist for the Seattle Press-Intelligencer, the competing paper in the city. The Times took a veiled shot at Miller, the P-I reporter assigned to cover the Huskies in 2000, and a story he had written about another Washington player, Jeremy Pharms.
In his take, Miller finally responded. Miller notes that the Times twisted the words from his original story, claiming he had "raised a series of questions that suggested Pharms might be innocent." In actuality, Miller's story said Pharms' case was "a question not of innocence but of degree of guilt."
Miller asserts that the Times' presentation of facts indicates they slanted coverage, as well as placed the majority of the blame on Neuheisel.
At the very least, two sides of the story give some semblance of balance. In no way am I trying to shield Neuheisel from blame; he obviously deserves criticism because -- like it or not, fair or not -- the coach is ultimately accountable. Even he says as much.
But when the editor of a major newspaper -- an editor with a graduate degree from Washington, no less -- says the series could affect UCLA recruiting, it exposes the core of the investigation.
Was Rick Neuheisel an angel during his time at Washington? Of course not.
Was the series fair? You decide.
Anyway again we will keep a close eye on CRN here in Westwood. As we have said before we believe he is too smart to blow this opportunity and he knows he is in charge of a program where the community rooting for it will demand accountability if there is a concerted pattern of impropriety. That said while the hacks in Seattle and other Neu detractors sling away mud we are going to root him on to do it right, now that he is home in Westwood.
