If you ever played football, or even if you didn't, you might have reacted the same as me when the NFL's "Bountygate" fiasco first started hitting the sports pages.
A shrug and a wink. Boys will be boys. Hey, a little harmless fun. They've always done this, it just wasn't publicized. That sort of thing. To be honest, the first thing I thought of was watching the old TV show "Wanted: Dead or Alive" starring Steve McQueen as bounty hunter Josh Randall.
But, we aren't boys anymore, are we?
When we were, we looked up to these guys and that is one one of the most infuriating aspects about "Bountygate:" The questions of the effect bounty hunting will have on youth football. These are kids who snap up everything they see or read about their NFL role models, including jerseys, wrist bands, helmets and attitude.
Early Depression and Dementia
As an allegedly responsible adult, you start thinking about all those studies involving retired NFL players and early dementia, those studies you tried to avoid because you were such a fan of the game. It gets harder to ignore when sporadic accounts of tragic suicides keep showing up in the news, like Junior Seau, Dave Duerson and Ray Easterling. All related to depression and dementia and accumulated brain trauma.
And now this.
Bountygate, of course, refers to the slush fund that players and coaches for the New Orleans Saints were involved in, doling out bounty money for "taking out" certain opposing players, usually the stars.
How do you "take out" an opposing player? There's only one way, assuming you can't fake a subpoena or send an engraved invitation from the Queen of England. You ring his bell. You knock him senseless. You hurt him.
Borderline Criminal
"Unsportsmanlike" doesn't even begin to describe it. It is a thuggish, borderline criminal thing to do in the first place. But, on top of all the recent research on the relationship between playing in the NFL and dying early due to horrible ailments like Alzheimer's or Lou Gehrig's Disease, it seems so much worse.
Most people who follow the NFL know now that studies show about one third of retired football players will suffer cognitive damage, and many of them will end up with serious dementia. That often brings about depression and, as we have seen in some cases, suicide.
Now, researchers are saying athletes don't necessarily have to suffer concussions to have those sorts of lasting effects. The accumulation of head and body shots is enough to cause debilitating brain changes.
Also, concussions don't necessarily have to be caused by a single, violent blow as previously believed; they can be caused by lesser blows over time, or even by body shots that rattle the brain around in the skull.
And now we find out these bounty hunters want to be paid for causing that kind of carnage.
Legal Hell
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has rightfully handed out some of the harshest sanctions in the history of the league, which are being legally challenged in the courts, of course. I'd like to think Goodell has the health of the league and its players in mind, but the cynic wonders if he isn't thinking about the hundreds of lawsuits filed against the NFL, alleging negligence, fraud and concealment of brain trauma brought on by vicious hits.
Remember that Goodell was hauled before Congress about three years ago, and criticized for what he and the league were failing to do with current and former players with head injuries.
Pee-Wee Slush Fund?
What was not criticized was the potentially profound effect bounty hunting could have on those who look up to and emulate their role models.
A scientist involved in one of the studies on the more subtle effects of brain trauma, said that when it comes to long-term, overall health, playing contact sports was a "very small risk" for high school athletes.
Yeah, until they start putting bounties on each other.

Bananas Foster french toast is three slabs of challah crowned with sautéed bananas plus rum and brown sugar syrup. Savory choices include the cafe's playful take on eggs Benedict, which features spicy black bean-pancetta cakes atop cornbread bathed in a house-smoked-tomato and saffron sauce.

It may be the end of the road for a Cedar Valley school. Wednesday night, University of Northern Iowa President Ben Allen is recommending that the state close Malcolm Price Laboratory School (MPLS) as of July 1st. The Iowa Board of Regents and the state legislature will need to approve the decision to close MPLS.
"One of the reasons we're doing this is to see how could we do things in a different way to save money. But also -- it reflects, is there a better way than a lab school to provide the opportunities for teachers," Allen said.
Allen spoke about the plan at three private meetings Wednesday night. But many students, and even some parents, say they're not letting the school close without a fight.
"Our school is not going to shut down because we won't let them," 6th grade student Greta Heistad said.
Best friends Greta Heistad and Miranda MacGillivray are only in sixth grade, but they're hoping to graduate high school as Panthers. And they're not alone. Hundreds of students and community members are trying to figure out how to save their school.
"We started on Sunday night, and now we have over 1,500 signatures on it," 11th grade student Margaret Creeden said.
Creeden and Kale Clay, both high school juniors, created an online petition over the weekend and are overwhelmed by the response they've received in just a few short days.
"We have signatures from all over the U.S. and different countries. So, we will stop it. Not a question," Clay said.
Some are questioning whether it's a fight they can win. Former MPLS Interim Director and current MPLS parent Bridgette Wagoner said she's passionate about keeping the school open., but Wagoner is slowly losing hope.
"I was here eleven years and the entire eleven years there was really no support for the school from the administration. Constantly a fight to prove our worth, to prove the merit of the school. It doesn't surprise me," she said.
Wagoner is thrilled to see people continue to push for MPLS, and supports the students who won't let the school close without a fight.
"I really love this school, and I don't know where I'm going to go if it shuts down," Heistad said.
"We all love the school, so keep it open," MacGillivray agreed.
Thursday afternoon, Allen is expected to announce more details about the program's future, as well as news regarding other programs on the budget chopping block.

Finding the right day-care center requires a balance of many practical issues: location, cost, hours of operation. And you of course also want a nurturing staff. "But bottom line, your child's health and safety is what matters the most," says Patricia Skinner, executive director of the Capital District Child Care Council, a resource and referral agency serving six counties in the Albany, N.Y., region. "After all, it doesn't matter how stellar the caregiver's interactions are if there's broken glass on the playground," she says.
Narrow down your choices and find a safe day care for your child by considering these four questions:
1. Is the center licensed (or registered)?
Most states require day-care centers to comply with minimum health and safety standards, so your first step is to find out if the facility you're considering is state-approved. In New York State, for instance, freestanding child-care centers must be licensed, while those that operate out of a home must be registered. If you opt for an in-home caregiver who looks after one or two kids, many states exempt these individuals from registration or licensing. However, some states do require in-home caregivers to complete a criminal-history check or child abuse/neglect screening; others require basic health and safety training. For more information, visit www.childcareaware.org.
2. Is the environment safe, both indoors and out?
Always take a tour of the facility when children are there to look for potential hazards, like heavy objects that kids could pull down on top of themselves. "It's great to get references, but there's really no substitute for your own observations," says Skinner. "You learn so much more when you spend time in a center and observe." Pay particular attention to the playground and other outside areas, which is where most day-care injuries occur. Make sure that kids are never left unattended -- even if they're sleeping. Also ask about the staff-to-child ratio. The younger your child is, the lower the ratio should be. For instance, one family-home caregiver should take care of only two infants. But 4-year-olds do well with a ratio of 1-to-10 (one adult for 10 children).
3. Does the staff follow proper infection-control procedures?
Do staffers wash their hands after each diaper change? Is the food-preparation area clean and orderly? How often are the communal toys disinfected? (Toys should be disinfected on a daily basis or more often if they're visibly soiled.) You should also ask if children wash their hands before eating and after using the bathroom, since kids are exposed to most germs by touching surfaces and then putting their fingers in their mouths. Ask caregivers all these questions, but also observe to see if the staff is really doing what they say they do.
4. What are the policies regarding sick children?
Child-care providers should have specific criteria outlining when to send a sick child home, and it's good to know the particulars so you can decide what requirements are important to you. Many centers follow national health and safety guidelines developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Public Health Association (APHA), but some are more stringent.
An example: AAP/APHA guidelines state that a child with a fever (defined as an oral temperature above 101 F, a rectal temperature above 102 F or an armpit temperature above 100 F) who is otherwise acting normally shouldn't be excluded from child care. However, many centers use fever alone as a reason to send a child home. "The providers can set their own exclusion criteria, and some of them are more restrictive than the guidelines," says Jean Wiseman, a registered nurse and child-care health consultant at the Capital District Child Care Council. "That's partly because they've seen what can happen when an illness that's not treated properly runs through every child in the program and all the staff too." So if you worry that a day-care center's stringent rules may one day exclude your child from care when you need it most, it's likely in everyone's best interest that sick kids don't mix with healthy ones.
What to Do if Your Child Is Sick
It's the scenario every working mother dreads: Your 3-year-old wakes up coughing, sneezing and clearly out of sorts; your husband is out of town on business; you're due at the office in three hours for an important meeting. When your little one is too sick to go to his regular day care -- but not sick enough to for you to justify rescheduling your meeting and using up yet another dwindling vacation day, you may have more options than you realize. Some hospital child-care facilities operate day-care programs for mildly ill children that are open to everyone in the community. In addition, some freestanding child-care centers offer separate infirmaries for sick kids. For more information about child-care options for sick children, visit the National Association for Sick Child Daycare at www.nascd.com.

Get bird-friendly garden tips
Sialia mexicana
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Jamie Chavez
In open parklands of the American West, brilliant blue-and-rust Western Bluebirds sit on low perches and swoop lightly to the ground to catch insects. Deep blue, rusty, and white, males are considerably brighter than the gray-brown, blue-tinged females. This small thrush nests in holes in trees or nest boxes and often gathers in small flocks to feed on insects or berries, giving their quiet, chortling calls. You can help out Western Bluebirds by placing nest boxes in your yard or park.
Western Bluebirds are mainly insectivorous in the summer and they can be attracted to feeders if you offer mealworms. (More on mealworms at our Attract Birds section). You can also invite bluebirds to a partially wooded yard by putting up nest boxes. Our NestWatch project has lots of free information about how to choose, build, and maintain nest boxes.
Look for Western Bluebirds on low perches in woodlands and woodland edges. Also scan for them sitting atop nest boxes or fenceposts in summer. Their habit of dropping suddenly to the ground after insects can be recognizable even out of the corner of your eye. Their quiet, inquisitive call notes are easy to overlook, but distinctive once learned.

A few interesting splits for your perusal:
I think most people here subscribe to the theory that the most important thing the top of the lineup can do is get on base. Get to the big boppers, and give them somebody on base in front of them to drive in. Seems pretty simple, but how are the Reds doing in that regard?
OBP from leadoff hitter: .324
OBP from #2 hitter: .311
OBP from #3 hitter: .304
OBP from #4 hitter: .306
Marty's constantly railing on the team's performance with Runners in Scoring Position. Lack of situational hitting and what not. He's kinda wrong, though. Actually, he's really wrong.
Overall BA: .255
BA with Runners On: .268
BA with RISP: .262
Strikeouts must be the issue, then. We all know that strikeouts are the debil, and we have a whole bunch of swing-and-miss bastards on this team. Put the farking ball in play, am I right?
123 strikeouts, 2nd fewest in the NL.
Well, what the hell's the problem then? If they're putting the ball in play, and hitting with ducks on the pond, they should be bringing runs home in bunches, right?
# of AB with Runners On: 321, 11th in NL
# of AB with RISP: 183, 14th in NL
Oh, right. That.
One good way to help yourself out is to see a lot of pitches. Control that strike zone. Take some walks, find something to hit. Get the starter out of the game as soon as you can.
#P/PA: 3.74, T-14th in NL
# of PA's vs. opponent's relievers: 296, 14th in NL.
We're giving up outs, we're not working counts, we're doing exactly what the pitcher wants us to do. We keep the opposing starter in the game too long. We're trying to "manufacture runs" (3rd in NL in Sac Bunts) It's not situational hitting or "selfish swinging" like Marty and Cowboy will tell you. There's your problem with the offense.

-First off I'd like to say. Great Season Warriors. I will have to say that I was first off not thrilled with one of my favorite Warriors all time leaving, but I was happy that we got Wright and Belinelli.
-Secondly, I want to say to all those who are complaining about the playoff system:
Drop It.
We lost fair and square in an extremely tight Western Conference race. This format is a classic East vs West matchup and this is the first time in history it has happened where a race ended up this neck to neck. Why should we get special treatment? So many other teams could have gotten into the playoffs over the past decade if the system was best 16 teams. We are the only ones to be blamed for the missed opportunity, primarily when we lost at home to Denver. Be rational please.
-Lastly, I got a quick and short (funny to some) offseason checklist.
--Purge the Wagon. Warrior fans are notorious now for our bandwagon mainly those who keep talking smack and can't control their mouths. I'm tired of hearing this cockiness. Real fans don't run their mouths and they were not here when we weren't "The best NBA Fans" 5 years ago. Boy, I do miss pre-bandwagon days when Higher Bowl gets sent down to Lower Bowl cuz of low attendance.
Acquire a Dominant or Strong Inside Presence-We need a real Big Man. We can acquire one through Trades, the Draft, or Free Agency. Like it or not Run-N-Gun and Andris as our Franchise Center will not win us a Championship. Brandan Wright does not count as he is purely a PF and by his size and Athleticism it seems he should be played as a SF.
- Emphasize Defense- Face it we lose because of this very reason. Our Post D is horrible, maybe the worst in the league. Our Perimeter D is just as bad down the stretch. Nelson made the Mavs a Defensive Force, he should be able to work his magic with our squad. Acquiring players who can play D will also help drastically.
- Re-Sign Monta Ellis- Numbers is the problem. With 60 Million Dollars in Cap Room (40 Million Available) we need to keep him for cheap. Possible contract would be 6 Years/ 74 Million. Based on Kevin Martin's contract.
- Draft a PG or C-Like it or not Baron will not be the face of the Warriors in the near future. We need to draft the most important positions to any Franchise a good Leader in a PG who can distribute the ball effectively and/or a Franchise Center. Will we get one this year? Possibly. Depends on the Lotto and who fluctuates in the draft. My early picks (At #14) are DeAndre Jordan, Darrel Arthur, and Anthony Randolph. If we win the lotto (.5% Chance/1 in 200 chance) I would pick Rose if we can get rid of Baron, if not then a better Carmelo Anthony in Michael Beasley. And No to Kevin Love.
- Get more Asian Cheerleaders- I feel there is too little of them =P. A couple years ago there were several of them. Most were good looking, especially Tiffany if I remember correctly. LOL
- Cut- Croshere, Barnes, O'Bryant, and maybe Watson.
- Re-Sign- Michael Pietrus. One of my favorite guys personally. Highlight Reel for Blocks. Excellent off the bench, one of out better defenders. Kelenna Azubuike- Our guard version of Mark Madsen and Ronny Turiaf. Pure Energy, very young as well. Can hit the 3.
The jury is out on Beans. He would command at least 8 Mil/Year. I would like him back, but if we have a shot at Elton Brand, Josh Smith, Okafor or Jermaine O'Neal (Less money for O'Neal) then I would attempt to swoop one of them in. (All are Restricted or Can Opt Out)
Baron Davis, is also on the bubble for me. Love him as our Warriors captain, but I would not cry or mind if he left the team. He holds 1/3 of our teams salary at approximately 38 Million over the next 2 years. If we give him a new contract, then that would help in keeping Beans and possibly acquiring a Big Man who opts out.

Reservoir and Phelps Dodge Exploration Corp. to Explore Together at Rakita in Serbia
|VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (CCNMatthews - July 3, 2007) - Reservoir Capital Corp. ("Reservoir" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:REO - News) is pleased to report that it has signed an earn-in agreement with Phelps Dodge Exploration Corp., ("Phelps Dodge") a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., ("Freeport"), to explore its Rakita License in Southern Serbia.
The Rakita license covers altered to highly-altered granitic rocks with disseminated pyrite, silicification and quartz veining. Ancient workings have been located within the License area that appear to have explored quartz-sulfide veins in altered granite that have the potential to host a large intrusion-related gold system. The License area, in southern Serbia, represents the potential extension of mineralization identified on the nearby Trun Property in Bulgaria, which is interpreted to be intrusion-related gold mineralization and is currently being explored by EurOmax Resources Ltd. and Teck Cominco Ltd.
Under the terms of the agreement, Phelps Dodge shall have the option to earn a 65% ownership interest in Rakita (BVI) Ltd., ("Rakita BVI") by making certain expenditures on or for the benefit of the Rakita License and thereupon form a joint venture with the Company for operation of Rakita BVI as follows;
- Phelps Dodge has the exclusive right and option (the "Earn-In Option") to acquire an undivided 65% right, title and ownership interest in Rakita BVI by funding US$500,000 of expenditures over a three-year period in two phases. During Phase 1, Phelps Dodge shall fund US$50,000 of expenditures to be matched by Reservoir. During Phase 2, Phelps Dodge shall solely fund US$450,000 of expenditures including a minimum of 2,500 cumulative meters of drilling;
- If Phelps Dodge terminates its Earn-In Option, but has funded expenditures of at least US$250,000 prior to any such termination, Reservoir shall agree to pay Phelps Dodge a 1% net smelter returns royalty on the production of minerals from the Property;
- Upon exercise of its Earn-In Option, Phelps Dodge will have a period of 90 days in which it may elect to continue to solely fund the expenditures on the Property until completion of a Feasibility Study. If Phelps Dodge makes such election, completes and delivers a Feasibility Study within 7 years of the date of the Earn-In Agreement, Phelps Dodge will have acquired an additional 10% interest and shall have a 75% right, title and ownership interest in Rakita BVI; and
- Thereafter, Phelps Dodge and Reservoir shall fund its interest on a pro-rata basis or dilute and if their respective interest dilutes below 10%, its interest shall convert to a net smelter royalty of 1%.
Subsidiaries of Reservoir and Phelps Dodge originally applied for the Rakita License area on the same day and this agreement has been reached between the two companies in order to jointly participate in this exploration opportunity. Upon signing the agreement on May 17, 2007, each company's Serbian subsidiary relinquished its original application in favor of Rakita Exploration D.o.o. ("Rakita Exploration") a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rakita BVI which was created for the purpose of this transaction. The Rakita License was subsequently issued to Rakita Exploration on May 31 2007.
Concurrently, Reservoir has agreed to issue 100,000 of its common shares to Eurasian Minerals Inc., ('Eurasian') to extinguish Eurasian's royalty rights over the original Rakita License application area, granted under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement signed between the Company and Eurasian January 26, 2007.
Miljana Vidovic, the President and CEO of the Company stated, "We are pleased to have found an equitable mechanism for both companies to share the exploration opportunity at Rakita and to have Freeport as an exploration partner," and added, "We were very favorably impressed by the progressive and proactive attitude of the Serbian Ministry or Energy and Mines in supporting this solution and promptly issuing the new license."
Location maps will be posted on the Company's website www.reservoircapitalcorp.com in the coming days.
Dr. Duncan Large, Chartered Engineer (UK) and Eur. Geol., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and consultant to the Company, is responsible for the preparation of the technical information in this release.

AURORA, Colorado — Thousands of people attended a vigil in Aurora, Colorado Sunday night to honor the victims of Friday's movie theater massacre.
Twelve people were killed and dozens more were wounded when a gunman opened fire in an auditorium packed with people watching the new Batman movie.
The community came together to share their grief and to cement their resolve against the man who was arrested in connection with the unthinkable crime.
There were tears, hugs and many children present who are also struggling to make sense of the tragedy.
The tragedy has pulled this Denver suburb together, but for the children, the deadly violence left behind a haunting memory that shattered their innocence.
"We go to that movie theater all the time, so it's just kind of sad that something like that happened," said young Rachel Ross. She and a friend made a poster to say "thank you" to the first responders and their city.
"It's not really a bad place; it's just this one person that comes and destroys it," Rachel said.
Diana Valencia and her cousins handed out black ribbons in memory of the victims. The six-year-old told us she will go back to the movies.
"The shooter has been arrested, and there's no more shooting at the movies," she said.
They also found strength and hope at this vigil.
"The bad people ... they won't win," Rachel said. "You you can kind of act like you win instead of them."
Parents told News 8 they are struggling to explain this tragedy to their children, but they are having the conversations and explaining that events like this are just the beginning of the healing process.
It was working for young Josh Rutty, who was buoyed by the solidarity he saw at the memorial.
"All these people like just locking arms and stuff... that makes me happy," he said.

I was looking through the Rumor Central on my Insider account, and came across something I was not expecting one bit...
Stephen Drew on Boston's radar?
Shortstop Stephen Drew is expected to be shopped by the Diamondbacks, and that should include discussions with the Red Sox, reports the Boston Globe.
Last week, the Globe noted that the list of offseason chores for Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein will include a search for a shortstop.
Should we be making much of this? Seem's a little odd to me.

How do I remove "posted on" at the top of every post in focus theme without modifying genesis framework files?

Within your functions.php file, do you have code that begins with add_filter( 'genesis_post_info' ?

Aside from Brad's advice (which is what I would follow), the error: 'Cannot redeclare post_info_filter()' means it is already defined within your functions file, so you just have to look for that function.
If you really wanted to remove the date, find the [post_date] within the post_info_filter function and that will remove [post_date] from the string.
June 14, 2013 at 8:55 am #45906

Caption Action 2 began just before the introduction of HR 3101, the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act. Actually, it began about 3:00 in the morning on June 25, 2009 when one night, Jamie could not sleep. At that time, the deaf community was battling Netflix to get the company to put closed captions on their streaming videos. However, the real issue was much bigger than Netflix - the deaf and hard of hearing community needed captions on the Internet.
So early that morning/late that night, Jamie started Caption Action 2. The name was inspired by a comment Robert had made earlier. The two were discussing the need for internet captioning, and Jamie recalled her much earlier experience in the late '80s with Caption Action, a movement to get captions on home video. Robert remarked, "Now it's Caption Action 2!" So that was the name of the new Facebook cause, Caption Action 2.
Despite progress being made in internet captioning, there is still so much more television on line that is not closed captioned. Caption Action 2 is here to stay, until we successfully pass legislation to mandate closed captioning online, just like we have on regular television.
Caption Action 2 can be contacted at either deafness.guide (at) about (dot) com, or rsg0910 (at) yahoo (dot) com.

In a data center at Purdue University, a rare supercomputer is crunching numbers for researchers studying a broad range of scientific problems. The 5,832-processor machine is capable of performing 8 trillion calculations per second, yet it consumes just a fraction of the electricity needed by Purdue's other supercomputers. The machine is one of a kind at Purdue -- because the company that built it doesn't exist anymore.
It comes from the recently folded SiCortex, a start-up founded with the idea of building the world's most efficient computers. SiCortex's story illustrates the difficulty of trying to build a new systems company in a maturing industry. Even if the idea is innovative, the product solves real-world problems and the company attracts an experienced management team and venture backing, success is far from guaranteed.
[ IT snake oil: Six tech cure-alls that went bunk. | InfoWorld reveals tech's 25 biggest flops of all time. | Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
"It's always difficult to build this type of company," says Jud Leonard, SiCortex co-founder and chief architect. "You're up against a very well established, strongly entrenched business and you know, Intel is a fierce competitor. We never imagined it was going to be an easy job."
Purdue CIO Gerry McCartney says SiCortex helped him address one of his nagging challenges: providing compute cycles to researchers without overwhelming his power and cooling systems. McCartney was hoping to buy one or two more SiCortex clusters and put them together to build one giant scientific research machine, but he'll never get the chance.
In a better time, SiCortex might have carved out a profitable niche in the high-performance computing market. Instead, the vendor shut its doors in May when venture capitalists yanked its funding. SiCortex officials believe the recession played a major role in the company's demise, but even in a good economy the company would have been fighting an uphill battle in a market dominated by Intel- and AMD-based supercomputers.
No other vendor has purchased SiCortex's core intellectual property. But its technology will live on for a time in data centers such as Purdue's, where the SiCortex cluster performs millions of CPU hours of research per month for researchers in aeronautics, computer science, nanoelectronic devices, mechanical engineering and other fields.
"We're not going to unplug it just because the company's gone away," McCartney says of his SC5832, the highest-end machine sold by SiCortex. "The promise of this was a very low power consumption device with a very friendly carbon output. The limiting factor on most of our purchases is the power and cooling requirement. SiCortex was really a very good machine in that regard. It's terribly disappointing that they've gone out of business."

Derry councilor describes close call at home
"Two Sundays ago, I was coming back from Mass at St. Thomas at six o'clock and when I got home I heard a (beeping sound) and I asked, 'What is that?'" Katsakiores said. "I had a daughter that was there and she said, 'Mom, this thing is starting to ring and it won't stop.'"
Katsakiores called the fire department and told them she had a problem and her carbon monoxide detector would not stop beeping. She was advised to get everyone out of the house and that the fire department would be there soon.
"They went through the house and metered everything, and said it was an exceptionally high amount of carbon monoxide in the house and asked if I had a fireplace or a wood stove," Katsakiores said.
She said she didn't have either, only a furnace. After opening all the windows and putting fans in the house, the carbon monoxide levels began to go down and the firefighters advised Katsakiores to call a furnace repair company.
About an hour later, the furnace company arrived and determined there was a crack in the furnace.
"The carbon monoxide, instead of going up the chimney, was coming into the home," Katsakiores said.
Katsakiores brought up her close call at a recent town council meeting because she said she wanted everyone to know how important it is to have a working carbon monoxide detector in the home.
"I've had one for years, and that is the first time it ever went off," she said. "It's important to have a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector in the home. I know it helped me and my family."

It's a hidden world many people don't want to talk about, but it's a problem that's gotten big enough in the Valley they've actually started a task force to deal with it: Hoarding.
"I just don't even know where to begin when you have this kind of chaos and this many things," one hoarder said.
She said she realizes what's in her home isn't normal.
In fact she's so embarrassed by the way she lives she's asked CBS 5 News not to share her identity.
"I'm especially attached to certain things. I can't exactly explain why," she said.
Those are words echoed by many hoarders.
"Either they don't think they have a problem or they don't want to admit it or they're so embarrassed or isolated themselves they don't know where to begin to find help," said Linda Buscemi with the Arizona Hoarding Task Force.
The hoarder who shared her story with CBS 5 News said her problem escalated when her husband passed away nearly a decade ago.
She's always been a collector.
"This is my main collection, teapots," she said.
But she said she soon realized she had trouble throwing away pretty much anything.
"There's probably packages in here that I haven't even opened yet from thrift stores," she said.
Now she's living in so much clutter she has trouble getting around.
She's in a huge house with some rooms stacked to the ceiling with junk.
She sleeps surrounded by her belongings with barely enough space to rest.
"I'm always shocked myself," she said.
She's shocked enough that she's ready for a change.
"I think they're trying. I think that we're at the tip of the iceberg right now," Buscemi said.
The Arizona Hoarding Task Force has seen a big bump in calls ever since the group was formed last year.
They're always looking for more professionals to come on board to help hoarders out.

Skies will remain mainly clear today, with some passing clouds across northern areas. Our temperatures will warm into the lower to middle 90s for highs today.
I'm tracking a cold front to our northwest. This front will arrive in our area Thursday into Friday. A few showers or even severe storms are possible ahead of the front on Wednesday for areas north of I-20. Large hail and straight-line winds over 60mph would be the main threats from any storms.
The front will continue to move into our area Thursday into Friday. The better coverage of rain will be Thursday. Right now it appears the rain will be done Friday morning, so there should not be any issues with the high school football games on Friday evening.
Drier and somewhat cooler weather will filter in through the weekend.

This is my brother's elementary school. I would have gone here if I hadn't moved the summer before 1st grade.
This is the ice rink where I learned how to ice skate. It's right next to the school.
The short balance beam in the center of this playground is where my brother broke his arm. He was 9 or 10 and I was 4 or 5. I still remember it clearly. He ended up running away from the hospital in his gown and everything because he hated it so bad.
This is the driveway our apartment balcony overlooked.
And this is our apartment balcony. Second from the bottom.
I used to play here all summer long.
I remember skinning my knee real bad falling off my bike right next to this slide.
It's all seems so distant. There are a million memories between now and then but I still remember so much detail. The wierdest part is walking around and remembering the feelings I had. Not the physical ones but my emotions. Recalling those feelings helped me realize why I am the way I am today. The last 13 years of my life influenced me but I think my strongest emotions have been with me since day one. One can change their behavior but perspective remains the same. It's funny how much a little courtyard can define me 13 years later.

We are ordained leaders in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, and we write to our fellow Anglicans across this Church in this season of great importance concerning our future. We are glad followers of Jesus Christ, working for the mission of his Gospel, and have for decades labored for the reform and renewal of the Episcopal Church under Holy Scripture and through the Holy Spirit. We are deeply thankful for this call upon our lives; we love the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we love this Church.
We write in a season where it is evident that differences of faith and practice have torn our Church and our Communion, perhaps beyond mending. We have all experienced this rending in painful and personal ways.
The presenting issue is the question of human sexuality, but underlying issues go deeper, to the very heart of our faith, including our understanding of the Triune God, the devastating impact of the fall upon human nature, the unique work of Jesus as the only Savior of the world, our understanding of God's Gospel mission to the world, the interdependence of our Communion, and – above it all – the final authority and full trustworthiness of Holy Scripture guiding us through these matters. Though our faith is in concert with the majority of our Communion and the historical roots of our Church, we now find ourselves fundamentally divided from the majority of the leadership in the Episcopal Church over these issues of first importance.
We have noticed a widespread and growing trend in The Episcopal Church: in many places congregations and dioceses are no longer free to recruit, develop or choose leaders who share their faith and values; mandatory diocesan assessments are used to fund causes that many believe are in opposition to their own principles; and, if the trend continues, acceptance of behavior Scripture reveals to be immoral and destructive will be soon required. Litigation and presentments are being widely used against congregations and their leaders who in conscience resist or who seek the freedom to realign with other parts of our Communion. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that opposition to classical, creedal, biblical theology and to our ministries is being orchestrated from the highest levels of the Episcopal Church. We wonder if we really are welcome here.
Mindful of Jesus' guidance we have worked to bring our concerns to the leadership of the Anglican Communion. We have been heartened by the broad attention and support we have received. We hoped that the Lambeth Conference, the Windsor Report, and the Tanzania Communiqué would provide a workable way forward for our ministries and the Anglican Communion itself.
We were stunned by the rapid, summary dismissal of the Tanzania Communiqué by our House of Bishops and Executive Council early this year. We understood this to signal a decided rejection of Communion authority, of our most deeply held values, and of our future ministries. We believe there shall be no viable long term future for our ministries in this church unless we make unacceptable compromises on matters of first importance. Many of us sense we are being compelled to realign. All of us believe we must act to protect the churches and people we serve. We now fear for the future of the Anglican Communion itself.
We do not want to act in haste or in a spirit of judgment. We are concerned that the history of the Church is littered with the wreckage of strife and division, and we do not wish to add to the ruins. We are mindful that our own hands are not clean in the development of this history, and are particularly brokenhearted over the pride that has too often accompanied our witness. We beg God and others across our Church for the forgiveness we need and for the opportunity for a different future than the one we fear is rapidly coming upon us. More than anything we wish to see God's Gospel healing upon our Church.
We have an urgent request for our leaders as they take counsel in the months to come.
In all humility, with all prayer, and with great respect for the importance of your leadership in God's Church, we beg you, implore you, to reconsider and comply with the unanimous requests of the Anglican Primates in the Tanzania Communiqué.
We believe this plan to offer the greatest and perhaps last opportunity for a much needed halt in the rending of our Church and for the 'grace space' that might offer us a different, ordered, and hopeful way forward.
We shall be much in prayer in the coming weeks, seeking the leading and help of Him whose grace upholds us all.

I'm not reading sadness or desperation in this letter. It reads, to me, like an attempt at humility from a group that firmly believes they are the Founding Fathers of a new Anglican Province. The unfortunate thing in all of this is that they have had this delusion fed by their leadership. In the DeS Communique, +Duncan's ideas were dismissed by the Primates. Perhaps this will change after 9/30, perhaps not. But I wouldn't be placing my eggs in that particular basket.

I suppose that it is the events that have "ramped up" to this letter that color my perception. I do believe that there are 2 very different types of people involved in these international "power plays" - those who are sincere in their hopes (++Orombi, ++Kolini) and those who are playing at niceties simply to gain an advantage (++Akinola, +Minns, +Duncan, Canon Anderson). This certainly doesn't take away from the fact that there are those sincere believers in both camps. Unfortunately, those in the latter camp have put more faith in their leaders than is deserved.
As for the "beg"'s in the letter - this is always disingenuous in an open letter format. It reeks of the Pharisees rending their clothes.

The notion that TEC is a hierarchical church and can therefore keep property that others have labored to build, paid for and maintained is farce and a fiction. TEC is not hierarchical. It may have bishops but its decision making is done by majority vote in convention with lay people, priests and, yes, bishops. Hierarchy is the Roman Catholic Church or the Orthodox churches where bishops do in fact make decisions, guided by the scriptures, traditions and the Holy Spirit, with out a popular vote of the people. How the TEC gets away with this fraud and fiction is beyond me. Moreover, in the long standing ecumenical discussions between Roman Catholics, Lutherans and Episcopalians it has been understood that Bishops, to be apostolic, must be more than just apostolically ordained but must be faithful witness to apostolic teaching. For me, having worked in the ecumenical area for the ELCA, this tripartite understanding of apostolic succession seriously calls into question Anglican orders that were, of course, already questionable. Moreover, it calls in to question and seriously undermines TEC's claim to hierarchical ownership of anything other than its current heresies. I am astounded that lawyers for the orthodox don't challenge this whole nonsense that TEC is hierarchical.September 11, 10:56 pm | [comment link]

I'm relatively disinterested in the property issue. The conservatives are going to try to steal the peoperty from TE C either way. I think TEC will never give up. That's more a statement than a belief in the rightness of the action.

No. It is a universal maxim.

+Spong has no faith in God but he does have an absolutist view to his unoriginal ideology. I believe his problem is that he has a cult of sycophants built up around him telling him that he is always right. I have no idea what he thinks of property issues.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - The bronzed statue outside Beaver Stadium is gone. The record of 409 career victories erased by the NCAA.
But reminders of the late head coach Joe Paterno still abound on Penn State football game days around Beaver Stadium, like the "409" tailgate banners in the parking lots.
One fan last month left a life-sized cardboard cutout of Paterno at the site where his statue once stood. Another left a Paterno mini-bobblehead doll.
Reminders will likely sprout up again Saturday when the Nittany Lions host No. 24 Northwestern for the homecoming weekend game.
Paterno's legacy has been blemished following NCAA sanctions against Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. But some alumni, former players and fans remain distrustful of the school's actions and angry about the severe NCAA penalties.

Telephone Counseling to Increase the Use of Screening Mammography in Hispanic, African American, and African Immigrant Populations
Study Section:
Breast Cancer Disparities
Scientific Abstract:
For women age 40 and older screening mammography has been shown to reduce breast cancer mortality, but underutilization of mammography by women in some racial/ethnic minority groups remains a significant problem, especially for women with limited education and income. For African Americans (AA) a relatively low screening rate is one cause of persistently elevated breast cancer mortality. Immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa may share AAs? genetic risk for more aggressive breast cancer and their tendency to underutilize mammography. Hispanic women, like AAs, are less well screened than whites. Interventions are needed to increase use of mammography in these and other minority populations. After more than a decade of research, tailored telephone counseling (TTC) has emerged as one of the most promising and cost-effective interventions for promoting mammography. Research suggests that to maximize success TTC should have 4 features: a connection to a woman's primary care provider, facilitated and timely mammography scheduling, supplementation with print materials, and a theory-based counseling protocol. To reach racial/ethnic minority groups TTC must also be offered in many languages, be accessible to women with low literacy, and be sensitive to common cultural concerns. We have developed and pilot tested a computer-assisted TTC protocol that, to our knowledge, is the first TTC program to include all 4 of the evidence-based elements of successful TTC. We believe the program has the potential for widespread adoption because it could efficiently serve multiple clinical sites from a counseling "center" through use of information and communication technology. Before the program is ready for a large scale demonstration, a pilot study is needed to develop and test features required for effectiveness in racial/ethnic minorities. Partnering with a Community Health Center and a local community-based health education organization and under the supervision of advisory groups, we will refine and translate our existing TTC program to meet the needs of Hispanics, AAs, and African immigrants. We will then pilot test the TTC program in 3 samples of women (Hispanic, AA, and African immigrant) overdue for a mammogram and cared for at the Worcester Family Health Center and two other Worcester primary care clinics. We aim to complete 20-30 counseling calls in each population group. We will examine counseling and mammography rates in each sample and gather information on change in stage of adoption related to the counseling. We will also perform post-counseling interviews in a sample of patients to assess the patient experience of the counseling. With the help of Massachusetts Area Health Education Center (AHEC) leadership, we will organize a meeting of community health professionals to explore developing a proposal for a statewide demonstration project of a centralized TTC program for mammography aimed at underserved populations in Massachusetts.
Lay Abstract:
Women in racial/ethnic minorities, especially African American (AA) and Hispanic women are less likely to get regular screening mammography than whites. Although interventions to increase screening have been studied, effective interventions for minority women and other underusers have not been widely adopted. An intervention is needed that is both effective in minority women and is likely to be widely implemented. Tailored telephone counseling (TTC) may be such an intervention. TTC to promote mammography involves a discussion between a woman, typically overdue for a mammogram, and a counselor that addresses the woman?s needs for knowledge about her risks and about the process and benefits of mammography. TTC also deals with logistical, attitudinal, and belief-related barriers to screening and aims to increase the motivation to be screened. A counselor may also help by scheduling a timely mammogram and directly assisting with transportation or other logistic barriers. We have developed and pilot-tested a computer-assisted TTC program that includes all the features that research has shown work best to maximize TTC effectiveness. This program was designed to be efficiently delivered to many clinical sites from a single counseling center, so it has the potential to be cost-effective and widely adopted. Before we can undertake a large scale demonstration of the program, it is essential that we tailor print materials and scripts to meet the educational, cultural and language needs of minorities. We propose to focus on AA, Hispanic, and African immigrant women. With the help of a local Community Health Center and a community-based health education organization, we will form 3 race/ethnicity-specific advisory groups to refine our existing TTC program materials to meet the needs of their communities. We will then pilot test the revised TTC program with women from each community. Women overdue for a mammogram will be referred for TTC by providers in 3 local clinics. We will track the numbers of women called and reached by the counselor, and the responses of the women to counseling. The counselor will offer to schedule women for a mammogram within a 2 week period, and if needed, provide additional help in getting her to the appointment. We will review records to see how many women get a mammogram. The pilot test will tell us if we need to further revise the TTC program for minorities before we go ahead with a larger scale project. After the pilot test, we will work with community organizations to develop a plan for a much bigger study involving clinics all over Massachusetts that take care of underserved populations.

IMO, the most likely candidates to challenge the Celtics in the playoffs this year are: Bulls, Heat. Orlando, Spurs, Mavs. and Lakers. I think the Bulls (42-18) will be the Celtic's biggest challenger in the east, with the show down coming in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Here's Hubie Brown, Mike Tirico and Bruce Bowen talking about the East. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6182913
I think either the Spurs(51-11) or Mavs 45-16) will win the West. The Finals will be Celtics/Mavs or Celtics/Spurs. Either series will be epic 7 game affairs. If the season ended today, Spurs would have the best record and home court advantage. Celts (45-15) would have home court over the Mavs (but as of today, Mav's are just 1 game back in the loss column). So I'm rooting for Spurs and Mavs to lose a few games, and for whoever comes out of the West to have a lower seed (worse record) than the Celtics.
Every game is important, and one loss now could be the difference between winning and losing the title. Of course none if this matters, if the Celtics aren't healthy. To compete for the title, the Celts need Shaq and Delonte to be healthy. If that happens, only the Bulls, Mavs and Spurs stand in the way.
It's the NBA- where every game matters.

- May 4th 2013
- On Request
Day 1: Arrival In Bled
Arrival to the airport of Ljubljana and transfer to Bled. Orientation and tour details. We can already start photographing lake Bled with its beautiful setting. At our welcome dinner we can further discuss itinerary and get to know each other.
Overnight: Family owned pension at the heart of Bled, D
Day 2-3: Glacier Lakes Of Bled And Bohinj And Surroundings
We will have two full days to explore the beautiful Gorenjska region. The journey will begin in Bled, which is one of the most stunning places in Slovenia with its lake and the church on the island in the middle. We can visit the island by traditional "Pletna" boat. Bled Castle on the cliff above offers superb views on the lake, and there will be plenty of opportunities to capture landscape photos from this vantage. The nearby Lake Bohinj is also a glacier-made body like Bled, but as it is located in the heart of Julian Alps it provides a very different setting. After a brief stop to try some canoeing on the lake, we will head to the picturesque Savica waterfall. From there, we will pass through many picturesque small traditional-style villages on our way to the stunning Vintgar Gorge. Finally, after a long day of photographing we will grab some of Bled's famous "kremšnita" cream cake, and renew our energy levels.
Overnight: Family owned pension at the heart of Bled, BD
Day 4-5: Soca River Valley And Triglav National Park
Our way will take us to the highest mountain pass in Julian Alps, Vrsic; its pinnacle affords beautiful views of the highest Slovenian mountains, and as we descend to the south we will meet the emerald waters of the So?a River. The river and its valley will be our base for the next two days as we explore all the hidden corners of the area which offers numerous gorges, waterfalls, WWI remnants, and much more. The keen wildlife photographers can try their luck with Alpine Ibex, this wild mountain goat is the king of the Julian Alps. From here, we will take a trip to the highest Slovenian road to the Mangrt Saddle which is over 2000m high.
Overnight: Family run hotel at Bovec area, BD
Day 6-7: Ljubljana And Surroundings
From the Alps, we will drive to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Ljubljana is a charming city where everything is within walking distance. The city offers an array of cuisine, you can dine at traditional "gostilna" (guest house), eat at a fine French restaurant, or enjoy delicious Italian fare. In three days we will cover all the city's highlights: the Baroque churches, the lively outdoor marketplace, the Ljubljana Castle, romantic Ljubljanica river, and the masterpieces of renowned Slovenian architect Joze Plecnik. We will make a half day trip to Volcji Potok Arboretum where the Spring exhibit will be taking place. The park is overflowing with a variety of flowers and trees, and is especially beautiful in May. After a long day of snapping, it'd be great to have a local beer along the Ljubljanica promenade.
Overnight: Hotel in the Ljubljana city centre, BD
Day 8: Departure From Ljubljana
After the breakfast check out from the hotel. Transfer to the airport of Ljubljana.

Prolific Crewe burglar gets prison sentence
1:54pm Monday 10th February 2014 in News
A PROLIFIC burglar is behind bars following a crime spree that blighted Crewe and stretched across Cheshire East.
Peter Clarke, 26 of Reins Lee Avenue, Fitton Hill, Oldham was handed a 28-month jail term for his crimes at Chester Crown Court last week.
He initially appeared before magistrates in Crewe charged with two counts of burglary and driving offences.
Clarke also admitted a further 21 offences of burglary while being interviewed by detectives, with properties as far afield as Nantwich, Alsager, Macclesfield and Disley all targeted.
Clarke was snared by Crewe detectives in November last year.
Detective Inspector Nigel Groom who heads up the CID team at Crewe commended the work of the detectives involved in bringing the case to a successful conclusion.
He said: "Domestic burglary is amongst the most traumatic and intrusive of crimes for the victims involved.
"Not only can treasured possessions be stolen, but it can cause long term disruption and unease for those affected.
"My team worked hard to piece together Clarke's crimes and produced a comprehensive file of evidence that led to him admitting a further 21 burglaries and ultimately being removed from our streets.
"We are committed to thoroughly investigating all reports of burglary and using all means at our disposal to bring to justice those responsible for committing this type of crime in our community."
