LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear says he's deeply disappointed at the news of planned cuts at Ft. Knox.The Pentagon says it will deactivate an entire brigade at the post because of reduced defense spending. That's a cut of 43-percent of the active duty force.
The decision will likely remove nearly 10,000 soldiers and their families from the area.
The governor says the decision will have an impact on the region's economy, but he believes the post is positioned to grow in the future."You always look down to the future," Gov. Beshear said. "We've got that Human Resources Command out there that does all of the Army's Human Resource work. Well, why not have the Navy and the Marines and the Air Force all running their stuff through the same Human Resources Command? So, we're working on things like that, and down the road, I feel like you're going to see Ft. Knox continue and thrive and do well."The cuts will impact Fort Campbell to a lesser degree.
Beshear says that post may only lose about 300 to 400 people.

activities and attractions in Lincoln City Oregon
The Road's End area of Lincoln City is unique in several ways. It is truly the "road's end", landlocked to the north by Cascade Head and so has only one way in and one way out. This makes the neighborhood much less congested with traffic and noise, a huge plus for any Oregon beach - especially in summer! The beach running the length of Road's End is one of the most beautiful and photographed in Oregon. Cascade Head and the tide pools on the north end of the beach are spectacular. It is an Oregon tradition to have at least one beach bonfire while on vacation, using the driftwood found everywhere on the beach.Beach and beach access 5 houses away

By Marjorie Nesin
Staff Writer
---- — "Where are they?!" Robert Jobe called out, as he waited for the ambulance crew.
Barbara Jobe recalls kneeling next to her husband at their Lanes Cove home last Sunday evening, checking his vital signs as he winced at the searing pain in his chest and left arm. A 911 dispatcher advised Barbara to remain calm as she waited a dragging 12 minutes for the ambulance to arrive from Central Station.
Though Robert was released from the hospital and recovering from the heart attack by Friday, "it was one scary night" for he and his wife, Barbara said Friday. Jobe's heart rate reached 200 beats per minute at one point, more than double a healthy resting rate. His blood pressure spiked to 198/106.
Barbara stood in a state of disbelief, shocked at how long it could take for an ambulance to arrive at her home only a mile from Bay View Fire station that was staffed earlier in the day when she drove by. But that station was closed by the time heart attack symptoms rocked Robert out of bed around 9 p.m.
"Every time I've been to any meeting, I've gotten up, and I always bring up the fire station hours," she said Friday. "I intend to be a thorn in the mayor's side until this gets resolved."
Now, just a week after signing the budget, some city councilors are second-guessing a contract and a budget that allows for more but not full station coverage at Bay View station in the new fiscal year, which begins Monday, while Mayor Carolyn Kirk emphasizes the full coverage that will come next fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2014.
City and fire officials have claimed that the department's response time across the city's 30 square miles is consistently less than 6 minutes more than 75 percent of the time, and 6 minutes is the response time cited in the city's report from the national Insurance Services Office (ISO). The city's ambulance corps is run through the Fire Department.
After hearing about the Jobes' 12-minute wait, Councilor Bruce Tobey suggested that the council hold a special meeting Tuesday night to recommend the mayor reopen the station 24-7 until the new fire contract kicks in a year from Monday. He said he would also recommend that the city not sign any lease for additional city facilities — a reference to the city's looking into leasing the former charter school — until fire stations are open all day every day. Councilor Greg Verga Friday echoed his call for a meeting.
Mayor Kirk said Friday that, while opening the Bay View station full-time "remains a goal and priority," the city must continue working toward that goal in a planned and careful fashion. That is what the council agreed to in signing off on the fiscal 2014 budget, she said.
"The City Council just unanimously passed a budget in which we were very clear about the level of service that budget could provide," Kirk said. "We can accelerate that by bringing additional money into the budget, but I think it's best to have a dialogue with the City Council because they just voted the budget knowing full well the level of service."
Kirk called Tobey's cry for a special meeting a "publicity stunt," and said the correlation between opening all stations full time and increased safety is not always linear.
"In some ways even having a fire station on every block doesn't necessarily make you safer,: Kirk said. "We've had fatalities across the street from the (open) fire station," she added, a reference to the tragic Lorraine Apartments fire in December 2007. "I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking that it means they're safer because (the station is) open. It's a false sense of security, people need to understand that."
In response to a letter from Jobe about her husband's heart attack and the pair's long wait, Tobey told Jobe station openings are a priority for councilors and he wants to see change now.
"I and several other councilors have banged the drum loudly for over a year now (and me most recently at the council meeting last week where we approved the FY14 budget) that we need to open the outstations 24-7," Tobey wrote. "Sadly, it has gotten us nowhere."

This past year was a busy one as far as merger and acquisition activity was concerned, particularly among mid-sized banks based in West Virginia.
West Virginia-based banks targeted smaller operations in affluent areas, particularly northern Virginia and Pittsburgh, as they sought opportunities for growth.
The question is whether that activity will continue into 2013 and whether West Virginia's mid-sized and smaller community banks will be the hunters or the prey in M&A activity.
Among the deals announced or completed this year:
In late November, WesBanco Inc. completed its acquisition of Fidelity Bancorp. of Pittsburgh. With the Fidelity acquisition, WesBanco became a multi-state bank holding company of $6.2 billion in assets with 119 locations and 111 ATMs in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Peoples Bancorp Inc. said Sept. 17 it had completed its acquisition of Sistersville Bancorp Inc. in a cash deal valued at $9.8 million. Sistersville Bancorp was the holding company of First Federal Savings Bank, which has two branches in Parkersburg and Sistersville.
On Dec. 21, MVB Financial Corp. of Fairmont announced it had closed its acquisition of northern Virginia residential mortgage company Potomac Mortgage Group LLC for about $19 million in cash and MVB common shares. With the addition of PMG's annual production of mortgages, MVB's new subsidiary expects to become a $1 billion mortgage production unit at a time when MVB Bank is experiencing record mortgage lending
Meanwhile, shareholders of Community Financial Corp., based in Staunton, Va., will vote Jan. 8 on whether to accept an offer to be acquired by City Holding Co. of Charleston. On Aug. 2, City Holding announced that it had executed an agreement to acquire Community Financial Corp. of Staunton, Va., in a $25.3 million transaction. Community operates nine branches along the I-81 corridor in western Virginia and two branches in Virginia Beach, Va.

The word Ningaloo is Indigenous Australian in origin and means promontory or high land jutting into the sea. The Baiyungu peoples have inhabited the area for over 30,000 years.[2]
It is known for its seasonal feeding concentrations of the whale shark, and the conservation debate surrounding its potential tourism development. In 1987 the reef and surrounding waters were designated as the Ningaloo Marine Park.[1] In 2011 the reef and surrounding areas were world heritage listed by the United Nations.[3]
Although most famed for its whale sharks which feed there during March to June, the reef is also rich in coral and other marine life. During the winter months, the reef is part of the migratory routes for dolphins, dugongs, manta rays and humpback whales.[4] The beaches of the reef are an important breeding ground of the loggerhead, green and hawksbill turtles. They also depend on the reef for nesting and food. The Ningaloo supports an abundance of fish (500 species), corals (300 species), molluscs (600 species) and many other marine invertebrates. The reef is less than half a kilometre offshore in some areas, such as Coral Bay.[5]
In 2006, researchers from the Australian Institute of Marine Science discovered gardens of sponges in the marine park's deeper waters that are thought to be species completely new to science.[5]
Conservation controversy[edit]
In the early 2000s there was much controversy about the proposed construction of a resort at an area called Mauds Landing, which was a major nesting ground of the loggerhead turtle. It was also feared that the resort would be generally degrading to the entire marine park.
Local author Tim Winton was particularly opposed to the development, and spoke publicly against it.[6] In 2002, when he won the WA Premier's Book Award, he donated the $25,000 prize money to the community campaign to save the reef.[7]
Ultimately the planned resort did not go ahead. However, developers continue to take an interest in the area.
Ningaloo Collaborative Research Cluster[edit]
The Ningaloo Collaboration Cluster is a major research project that commenced in the region in 2007. It is part of the CSIRO flagship Collaboration Fund Research Initiative. The project involves researchers from the CSIRO, Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre and a range of Australian Universities including Curtin University of Technology, Murdoch University, University of Western Australia, Australian National University and the University of Queensland. The project will deliver a dynamic model of Ningaloo incorporating socioeconomic and environmental load implications of human activity in the region that can be integrated with an ecological model of the region with the ultimate aim of developing planning tools and management models to ensure sustainable use of the region.
The study will involve the collection and processing of socioeconomic data from tourists and the host communities of Exmouth, Coral Bay and Carnarvon. It will also involve the collection of data concerning the environmental load of human activity including natural resource use, waste generation, pollution, visual impacts and impacts on flora and fauna.
The project will be interactive, and will involve key stakeholders in the region. These stakeholders will include the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC), Shires of Carnarvon & Exmouth, local tourism organisations and Tourism WA, Gascoyne Development Commission, Departments of Water and Environment, researchers from Wealth from the Oceans and Ningaloo Project, Chambers of Commerce, Department of Energy and Resources, Department of Fisheries, Department for Planning and Infrastructure, Ningaloo Sustainable Development Committee and Ningaloo Sustainable Development Office, Yamatji Land and Sea Council representatives, and the Ningaloo research community along with other cluster project members and the State's Ningaloo project. The project will also engage planners and managers in the region to examine tourism development and management.

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron (1 1/2")
Shannon J.Ontario, CanadaHairLight BrownNormal HairOily HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairLove It!I have really fine, frizzy hair. This hair straightener was my first purchase of anything sedu brand.
I purchased this flat iron in 2009... 5 years later, it still works AMAZING. I've used it almost every day since I received it in the mail. It's survived me moving into 4 different places, being dropped, being left on (for god knows how long..)... After spending years and countless dollars on cheaper flat irons, I'll never regret buying this straightener. Absolutely LOVE it.posted Jun 30, 2014Link to this post

EvieHairBlackDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThis Flat Iron Is My Soul MateI bought mine in August of 2010, so it's going on 4 years that i've own it. works beautifully. I have very thick, curly hair. I blow out my hair at night, then use the flat iron in the morning. I use it as needed throughout the week. what more can i say. It is reliable, does a great job at making my hair silky smooth and shiny. Every once in a while (like today) I make sure it is still available for purchase, just in case mine dies, because I don't know what I would do if I couldn't replace it with another one just like it.posted Jun 30, 2014Link to this post

H. JayHairCurly HairI Just Can't Anymore ...This is a fantastic flat iron if you are willing to spend $100+ on a new one every 1-2 years. Honestly, it is the best flat iron I have ever used, and that is why I kept going back. But the quality of this thing is TERRIBLE. I have replaced it 4 times in the last 5 years. If you're lucky, it will go out before the 2 year warranty expires and they will "replace" it with a refurbished one AND you have to pay a $9.95 warranty fee, plus pay to have the thing shipped back. Now, this thing is living on a prayer brand new, imagine how long your refurbishment is going to last... Sedu used to make really good products that lasted. It's almost as if they are now purposefully making them to last only until the warranty is up, so you have to keep buying replacements. Come on now, that's shady business. Read the reviews on this thing. Every other one has the same issues, and the rest probably just haven't had theirs long enough. You can't expect to keep customers that way. At least not this one. I won't be buying another Sedu unless they decide to correct, what is to me, an obviously intentional defect.3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Debra/*HairLight BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairAwesome For As Long As It Works!I have now owned three of these. My first died less than 2 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired (2.5 years ago).
But, it worked, so when Folica extended the warranty to 2 years, I bought two more (silly me) so my daughter and I wouldn't fight over one in the morning. The 1.5
plate is perfect for our very long, wavy, very very thick and course hair. It made reasonable work of getting to beautiful hair. Unfortunately, the new ones died within weeks of each other just after a year. I also like that hair didn't catch on the edges and get ripped out!
It's too bad because it is one of the few straighteners that I've tried that really works without taking forever. I just wish they could solve the quick death problem and this would really be the perfect straightener.
Am sending two back for replacement and hoping to have a better experience with whatever comes next. :)1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

KatieKenosha, WiHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairI Cannot Stop Raving About This Flat Iron!This is my first purchase from sedu, I have to say I fell in love with it! I love the fact that it's a 1.5 inch (just what I needed!) I noticed a real significant difference right when I did the first little section of my hair! It felt so smooth and silky . I have a lot of hair, in fact a few salons that I go to, the stylists would always say I have a lot of hair,,like almost enough for 2 people's hair put together, this iron really took some of the puffiness out of my hair, which was what I wanted! The entire day I couldn't stop feeling my hair, I've never had my hair that silky n smooth from my 1inch GHD straightener before! And the fact that this is 1.5 inch, it took me half the time to get the silky smooth straight hair ! I'm loving this!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

JusticeLoved It, But Didn't Last Long!I've had this straightener for over a year now and it's broken 3 times. I've had to send it back and they send me a replacement. They were very quick about replacing it, but the refurbished one they sent me would only last a few months. I finally decided to buckle down and buy the Sedu Revolution because this one wasn't doing the job for me anymore. Don't get me wrong, the straightener is a good straightener and does the job well, but it just kept on dying on me in the middle of straightening my hair and it's not very dependable. I love Sedu products and I will forever be a Sedu fan no matter what!posted Jun 10, 2014Link to this post

Everytime me and my family traveled (I have a sister and a mom who are VERY picky and slightly divas when it comes to who's stuff is better) they always told me just to bring mine and we would all share. Seriously, my family is all so competitive about who has the better whatever and with Sedu I always won. Mine died after about 4 or 5 years and I just ordered a new one! I straighten my hair EVERYDAY so that was impressive that it lasted that long! I would find people in my room using my straighter all the time!

StefanieMontreal, CanadaHairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairWorked Well For First Weeks But Heat Trained My HairI previously had a Solia flat iron and liked it very much, until I droped it for the 100 times and the plates fell!
I decided to change for Sedu after reading the great reviews online. My first impression when I first used it was that the plastic exterior was really cheap and that you can't hold it close to the plates because it gets burning hot. I did not have this problem with the Solia.
Though the temperature can get fairly high (more then 400 F), I started using it at 250 F, which was enough heat to get my hair really straight. A few days later though, I noticed that I had to crank up the heat a little more to get the same results. I had to keep puting the heat a little higher every weeks, until I realised that I now had the heat set to its highest point and that my hair was damaged.
I am now, less then a year later, so disapointed in my purchase, that I will be buying the Solia again, which is great quality for the price that you pay.posted May 27, 2014Link to this post

MasterB.C.HairMedium BrownNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairWhy Bother With Anything Else?I had put my Sedu away for a while when I went on a trip, and when I came back I started using my 1" FHI and 1" Paul Brown flat irons. While it's true I'm due for a cut now and my hair is not in its best condition (I recently broke up with my hairdresser - ha ha), my hair was really looking sad, fried and dried using my other flat irons. No thrill at all. Today I saw a flyer for flat irons and suddenly remembered that Hey, I have a Sedu! I went right in and pulled out my Sedu and flat ironed my locks and am stunned at the results. OMG! Why do I even bother with my other irons??? Performs the same as when I first bought it - I think I'm on my second year of use. Soft, full, shiny, silky….I have no idea why I stopped using my Sedu, but that flyer is going in the recycling bin, and money is staying in my pocket, because I already have the best flat iron going!!posted May 23, 2014Link to this post

'Teaching hospital for law school graduates' is launching at Arizona State
Posted Mar 8, 2013 10:21 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
This poll ended on Tue, March 26, 2013 - 5:11:09.
No. The disciplines are too different.
236 votes (14.51%)
Yes. Schools would produce more practice-ready lawyers.
1391 votes (85.49%)
A tour of the Mayo Clinic a few years ago gave the dean of Arizona State University's law school an idea that is about to come to fruition.
What Dean Douglas J. Sylvester calls "a teaching hospital for law school graduates" will begin operating this summer. While other law schools also are trying out the fledgling idea for helping alumni get launched into legal careers in the midst of a difficult economic situation, ASU's appears to be one of the most ambitious, and largest, reports the New York Times (reg. req.).
Known as the Alumni Law Group, the nonprofit firm will include 30 grads in the next few years. Groups of five will work under the supervision of a seasoned, salaried attorney. Some work is expected to come from the university, and ASU hopes to attract other clients by charging $125 an hour for work that would ordinarily cost $250, the newspaper explains. It also is interested in serving the needs of military veterans, Latinos and Native Americans.
More than a dozen other law schools have established, or are working to establish, similar incubators for recent law grads. And incoming ABA President James R. Silkenat has called for the creation of a "legal job corps" to help put attorneys looking for work in touch with clients who need work done, the Times reports.
But, while there are potential clients who need representation and new law graduates eager to serve them, someone has to pay the bills. Even at $125 an hour, for example, some question whether the services of ASU's Alumni Law Group will be in demand. Nonetheless, there is a sense that the incubator concept, even if it may need some tweaking, has merit.
"I would love to blink and wake up in 10 years and see where all this ends," said Jennifer C. Friedman. She is executive director of the Pace Community Law Practice, at Pace University School of Law.
"We know about 10 to 15 programs opening in the coming years," Friedman told the newspaper. "That means there are 30 more behind them. Every faculty is talking about this."

In 1997, eighteen Police Officers rode their bikes 300 miles beginning in Florham Park, NJ and finished in Washington, DC.
This year 1200 riders made that same 300 mile trip. Among them were Lt Mike Faria of the Middletown Police Department and Officer Joe Carroll of the Newport Police Department. They rode along with fellow officers and family members of fallen officers.
Each rider is asked to raise money that is used to maintain the National Law Enforcement Memorial, the National Law Enforcement Museum, and given to families of officers killed in the line of duty.
To help meet their donation requirement for next year's ride Faria and Carroll hosted this Sunday's motorcycle ride fundraiser. Scotty McLeish and
Scotty's Big Dawg's Pub & Restaurant was the local business to sponsor the event in it's second year.
The ride began and concluded at Scotty's Big Dawg's Pub & Restaurant on West Main Road. Over 56 motorcylists and their riders participated in support of this event. For the non-riders in the crowd, refreshments and a large raffle were conducted indoors.
The opening ceremonies included the National Anthem sung by Newport Police Officer Jummy Winters and Amazing Grace played on the bagpipes by Middletown eighth grader Liam Geer of the Newport AOH Pipe and Drum Band. The Middletown Fire Department did their part by erecting a large American Flag from the bucket of Ladder 2.
After a moment of silence, Officer Carroll shared with those in attendance the sobering statistics of the number of officers that are killed in the line of duty each year. This event and the Unity Tour were established to support the families of those taken while engaged in service and to ensure that their memories will always be honored.
Both officers also added that ,"This is a time when we especially want to remember all those that we lost during 9-11. It has been 11 years and we will never forget that tragedy."

Chiefs, Patriots look to repeat in CVAC girls' basketball
Editor's note: Coaching forms were not received from Lake Placid in time for the preview.
The 2011-12 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference belonged to the Saranac Chiefs.
The Chiefs went a perfect 15-0 in the CVAC last season, and finished with a 22-1 record. The lone loss came in the Class B state semifinal contest against Irvington.
Saranac has a lot of returning players from last season's team, but loses a talented group of seniors.
Gunning for supremacy this season in Class B will be an up-and-coming Beekmantown squad that surprised a lot of teams down the stretch last season and made it to the Section VII Class B title game.
The Section VII Class C champion Moriah Vikings will need to reload if they want to repeat again this season. The Vikings lost nearly its entire team, only returning two players.
The Eagles were one of the youngest teams in the CVAC a season ago, and this season still only possess one senior on the roster in newcomer Carleigh Waite.
Beekmantown showed its youth at the start of the season, but grew as a team throughout the year and made it to the Section VII Class B championship game before falling to Saranac.
The Eagles return eight players from last year's roster, including sophomores Shannon Ryan and Grace Kelly and juniors Emily Anderson and Courtney Wilson.
Lost, however, was promising point guard Katrine Fogelstroem, who was an exchange student a season ago.
Players lost
Katrine Fogelstroem, Rylei Porter.
Players returning
Shannon Ryan, Emily Anderson, Grace Kelly, Courtney Wilson, Aleasha Barcomb, Tori Barrett, Kristine McKinnley, Lexie Desrocher.
Courtney Guynup, Rachel Brunell, Michaela LaFountain, Erin Downey, Carleigh Waite.
Northeastern Clinton
The Cougars hope to see a return to glory again this season after failing to make the Section VII Class B title game for the first time in many years.
Northeastern Clinton returns six quality players from last year's team, and hopes that some of the newcomers can add to the mix.
The Cougars are looking for patient play and good, quality team basketball as they are not deep and are lacking in size.

This is a great album, anyone into northern european music or culture should buy this album. Personally, I like Eric the Red and How Far to Asgaard a wee bit better but this is one Helgardh of an album!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
TYR rule. Once you start listening, its hard to stop.
This album is fantastic. The second track is truly great. TYR blends so many aspects of music together and it comes out as something completely orginal and amazing.
Ragnarok is a great album that all metal fans should own. Pick up all of TYR b/c they make good rock.
This is what Asatru Music should be! It is authentic enough to keep traditionalists interested and metal enough to rock to! As the title suggests, this is a concept album chronicling the ancient Norse version of the End of the World, from Balder's death ("Brother's Bane") to Loki's binding and eventual escape ("Lord of Lies"). The lyrics are fantastic as they chronicle these timeless stories while the music is varied and interesting. While "Wings of Time" does not really seem like part of the narrative, it is a truly inspiring song. Tyr has recently been cemented in my mind as one of the best bands currently recording today and this album is the proof!
This Album is truly inspiring. From the onset the songs take you through the lore surrounding Ragnarok, the old Norse myth of the end of the world, recounting the ancient stories from the slaying of Baldr (Brother's Bain)to the binding of Loki(Lord of Lies) and the beginning of the final battle (Ragnarok).
With a number of instrumental tracks Ragnarok plays almost like a soundtrack honoring the Old Nordic oral tradition of story telling. Ragnarok with all 16 songs it a masterpiece and with the addition of two bonus tracks (Valkyries Flight and Valhalla) this album is truly hard to beat.
Ragnarok is the 3rd full length release by this great band. Tyr hails from Faroe Islands, a country whose current decendents are of nearly 100% Viking blood. The Faroese speak a dialect of ancient Old Norse to this very day. Those deep traditional ties are very evident in the music of Tyr. One thing that really sets Tyr apart from most other Viking/Pagan Metal bands is the fact that they do not do the screaming/growling Death Metal vocals at all. ALL vocals are clean, although many songs are sung in Faroese.
Their sophomore album, "Eric The Red", was a bonafide masterpiece within this genre of metal, but many of the songs off that album were actually traditional songs that have been celebrated by the Faroese for centuries, not material completely developed by the band. While this album may fall a tad bit short compared to that masterpiece, I think it is a more impressive offering because most of the material here is original. This album is also somewhat of a concept album in that it basically covers the traditional Norse tale of the Ragnarok, the battle to end all time.
Besides the fact that this is a concept album, it also offers a lot of other "prog-like" elements like odd time signatures and songs that are very long, with many changes throughout. Tyr has previously been accused by some of being one of those bands where every song sounds the same… On Ragnorok, that definitely doesn't apply. The songs this time out are much more diverse in nature, and they really push into different territory here.
I think the best songs on the album are: Hammer of Thor, Brother's Bane, The Ride To Hel, Torsteins Kvædi, Wings of Time, and Ragnarok. Brother's Bane would be my favorite track on the album, and possibly the best song Heri Joensen has ever written.
This band is currently touring North America on PaganFest and they are playing a criminally short setlist of only 5 songs. If you have gone to one of these shows and came away as disappointed as this long time fan was, please consider that they have a much larger bulk of quality material than only 5 songs. So, definitely pick up an album for a better feel for this band. I would recommend this album, definitely… Of course, if you only want one Tyr album, then "Eric The Red" is that album. Also keep an eye out for the new album, "Land", which will be released the 2nd week in June, 2008.


text: Ok I'm new here. I'm not new to spyderco or any other major brand of pocket knife. However, I have finally succumbed to the "How the hell do I make my serrated edge look like it did when I first bought the damn thing." My vintage copilot (bought it in the seventies I think) needs a new edge. Its the second copilot I've owned. The first one I suspect resides in the pocket of the jerk of a deputy who claimed that I never handed it to him upon entering the court house. (I hope "Sheba" cut him deeply at least once) Its the second (Sheba 2) that needs attention. She has opened tin cans, cut through sheet metal and carved many sharp sticks. Before you admonish me about using her so roughly, let me say that a pocket knife serves many purposes. That's why I purchase them. I just need her back to original form. Any advice will be heartily considered. Thank you.

Land the city sold for $109k?
Original post made by Aaron on Sep 25, 2007
Anyone else notice in the "recent sales" section of the weekly that the city of PA sold a piece of land for $109,000 to what appears to be a family? Anyone know the story behind this?
on Sep 25, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Yes, I saw that too. I even printed out driving directions to check out over the weekend. Never made it out there though. I seem to remember it being just east of El Camino by Fry's?.
on Sep 25, 2007 at 4:38 pm
It appears to be a Below Market Rate unit. A one bedroom for those who qualify for BMRs.
For more information and background, go to:

"and a new Jacuzzi bathtub"
This is typical of how we Palo Altans are being sucker punched by this BMR nonsense.
Please, please read the link above by "openspace".
The owner could afford a Jacuzzi bathtub and double paned windows, but he/she could not afford to keep up the general maintenance of the unit. Then, guess what, PA steps in and buys the place.
BMRs are welfare housing, nothing else. They are usually sold to the PA voters as housing for police and fire and teachers. Yet, there are few, if any, such people who use them, or will use them in the future.
The truth might set us free....

13We Need to Talk About Anna Kendrick
Here's why we need to talk about her, ready? Because I LOVE HER. I loved her in the Twilight movies, where she played Bella's dumb friend. I loved her in 50/50, where she played Joseph Gordon-Levitt's therapist/lover. I loved her in Paranorman, which, if you haven't seen it, is just amazing. I really, really loved her in Pitch Perfect, because Pitch Perfect is one of my new favorites (expect a story about why we need to talk about Rebel Wilson soon). I think that this Anna Kendrick is just a delight.
But then I checked out her Twitter. And now I want her to be my new best friend.
And she also posted this photo of her with her dog:
So we love her now, ok? Is everyone cool with that?

Love her. But I don't love the stereotypical female obsession with Ryan Gosling.
It's only inappropriate if you don't film it and post it to the Internet for others to enjoy.
OMG!! I'm with you Emily, that tweet made me laugh out loud like a crazy woman (especially as i'm sitting on the train) Love her!
So innocent-looking yet killer sense of the absurd! We need more Anna…stat!
Anna Kendrick is THE BEST. Her twitter cracks me up. Such a fave.
That's not her dog, the pic popped up weeks ago, it's a trained dog from a film set. Do you guys ever actually read other gossip sites?
love her. Hope she get bigger roles in films, people need to know about her
I like her now =) Hilarious
Love, love, love her! Just recently watch Pitch Perfect at my sister incessant begging over winter break when we were both home. I absolutely adored it, which I obviously did not expect.
Totally on board with the Rebel Wilson story soon!
What's the 411 on her? Married, single ? Because she was in End of Watch with Jake Gyllenhaal and I want them to be together in the same way I want Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams together.
I've loved her since she was in 'Camp'
Check out her performance as a mini-Eve Harrington in Camp in a role originally played by Elaine Stritch:
Oh my goodness, I DO love her.
I can't stand Twilight, but given that her character spent most of her screen time irritated with Bella, I definitely felt bonded with her.
And I only just saw Pitch Perfect days ago (after seeing gifs from it on Tumblr for months and wondering: "What is that? That cast looks amaaazing!"), and it was delightful.

A 25-year-old Overland Park man was killed after being hit by a car on Interstate 70.
The parents of Josh E. Wassmer say their son was a wonderful guy, personable, loving to all his family and many friends and will be deeply missed.
Police said about 12:20 a.m. Sunday an SUV hit and killed Wassmer, who was trying to cut across I-70 near The Paseo to get home. Wassmer died at the scene.
Family said he had spent the evening at a charity event with an open bar, followed by drinks with friends downtown.
Wassmer lived just a few blocks away.
His family says he made a careless mistake that ended the life of a deeply loved young man.
"He wandered onto an exit or something, and thought that he could make it across the interstate," said Jeremy Wassmer, who calls his brother's death a careless mistake with permanent and tragic consequences.
Now, the only thing the 25-year-old's family has to remember him by are photographs and memories of his smile that could lift spirits. And it is a smile that they can't imagine not seeing again.
"The face you see in most of the pictures, he has that smile on, that's pretty much the face you would see every time you saw him," said Skyler Wassmer, the victim's cousin. "Josh just had a lot of life, and he could bring that joy out of you pretty quickly."
However, the young man's family is now focused on honoring his memory.
"He could have done anything really, because he was smart. He was starting to work really hard and be really motivated," Jeremy Wassmer said.
He was finishing a degree in business school and working with his dad.
Newspaper clippings the family collected, show his talent as a tennis player. He competed at state finals in high school, and he always had time for his family, however they needed him.
"I remember having a conversation with him where we told each other we didn't act the same with anybody else that we did with each other, it was always just being goofy and silly all the time," Skyler Wassmer said.
The family had one last time together, all gathered for Thanksgiving. Now they're hanging on to those memories, but they know they'll always wish for more.
"Obviously, I wish that we had spent the whole day together, and I could go back and talk to him a little longer," Skyler Wassmer said.
Josh Wassmer's dad said he doesn't blame the driver who hit him, that he likely just couldn't react in time. The driver did stop afterward to try and help.
Josh Wassmer was Kansas City's 66th traffic fatality for 2012.

The girls have not played a game yet, but the Milford softball team already has a lot going for itself.
With a group of talented players to work with, coach Jim Weir said he is excited for the season.
Defense will be a team strength, Weir said.
"We should be strong in the infield," he said, mentioning freshman shortstop Addy Lawson as a key to the team's success. "We like to think, hit it on the left side and you're out. She has a very strong arm."
Pitcher Kaitlin Van Winkler will return from a knee injury that kept her out of soccer season. Van Winkler won seven games for the team last year.
The Lady Wildcats are quite powerful on offensive, too, led by a batch of returning players. Kaley Chase and Peggy Paffenroth, both Tri-Valley League All Stars last season, had batting averages in the .400s. Catcher Natasha Skillen had a batting average nearly .450. Paffenroth is a home run threat as well.
Schenevus won the Tri-Valley East last season and then upset Franklin in the title game. Both teams are returning most of their top players. However, Milford stayed in contention for the East title until the final game of the season last year. The Wildcats should be contenders to take the title this year.
Milford will start the season on April 4 by hosting league rival Cherry Valley-Springfield.

Rated 4 out of 5 by majigail from Just what I needed This bra is great. I was always pulling down my others to hold up my little extra around my back, only to have the band roll up on me. Not this bra! Both bands stay put exactly where they should be. My shoulders don't even feel like they're doing any work (how it should be!) My only complaint is that there's some pressure from the bra in the middle of my rib cage.

This was the match that Napoli needed -- a match in which they were utterly dominant, a match upon which they could build both within Serie A and leading up to their final group game in the Champions League. A 4-2 victory over Lecce certainly won't dampen their spirits, with Edinson Cavani scoring two, and Ezequiel Lavezzi and Blerim Dzemaili both contributing. Sure, the visitors scored early in the second through Luis Murial, but every team has to have their Salvatore Aronica, and a last minute goal by Daniele Corvia certainly couldn't rescue a point for Lecce. On the whole, the partenopei should feel ecstatic about this result.
The home side claimed three goals at the San Paolo before the halftime whistle even blew. Lavezzi started things off with a beautiful little goal, dribbling right around two giallorossi shirts, nutmegging a third just for a bit of added flair, and aiming his shot just inside the near post. Massimiliano Benassi could do absolutely nothing to stop the ball from settling into the back of the net.
Cavani's goal was slightly less spectacular, although the pass from Goran Pandev was quite nice, slicing through the heart of the Lecce defense (I use the word defense loosely, mind). El Matador used Benassi's prone body to roll the ball up and into the net.
Having seen what passed for defense in the giallorossi side, Dzemaili thought he'd seize this opportunity to get his goal for the season. In the 42nd minute, the Swiss midfielder, lingering just outside the area, pounced on a poorly cleared ball and shot it through into goal. Napoli were up 3-0 at halftime, and Walter Mazzarri had no idea what to say in the dressing room, being so accustomed to giving the hairdryer treatment during every match.
That might explain why Lecce were able to score early in the second half -- Salvatore Aronica's mind was wandering off to his post-match meal, while Morgan De Sanctis hadn't yet woken up from his halftime nap. Luis Murial took advantage, easily running around Aronica and beating De Sanctis to pull a goal back for Lecce.
Yet Mazzarri seemed less than worried. In fact, he treated the next fifteen minutes like a chess match, and by the 67th minute,Mazzarri elected to turn the training ground exercise into a warm-up for Napoli's match against Villarreal midweek. Walter Gargano was in, Goran Pandev was out. Marek Hamsik came in, but not for either Cavani or Lavezzi -- it was no rest for the weary as the Slovak replaced Dzemaili, perfectly emulating the preferred front seven for Mazzarri's side.
And, in the 82nd minute, the partenopei showed just how lethal their Holy Trinity could be. Despite needing nothing else from the match, the trident combined in perfect synchronicity: Hamsik took the ball in the middle, passing it to Lavezzi racing down the left, who slid the ball across the face of goal to where Cavani was rushing forward to poke the ball in.
Alas, Lecce just couldn't leave it at that wonder goal, deciding to score once more when the home side had packed it in and were preparing to shed their kits. Daniele Corvia headed one past De Sanctis in the final move of the match, but it certainly wasn't enough: Lecce remain bottom of Serie A, while Napoli take temporary possession of fifth.
