Kendrick limits Tigers in Lakeland duel
Mayberry homers, but Detroit walks off in ninth inning
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Solo home runs from John Mayberry Jr. and Bryan Holaday provided the lone scoring until Scott Thorman's walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, sending the Tigers to a 2-1 win over a Phillies split squad on Sunday afternoon at Joker Marchant Stadium.
Mayberry's first home run of the spring was the only damage off Tigers starter Phil Coke over four innings in his third Spring Training start. Coke fell behind on a 3-0 count before Mayberry sent a 3-1 pitch into a breeze blowing out to right field. Philadelphia's other three hits off Coke were all singles, two of them by Wilson Valdez.

Spring Training Info
Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick held Detroit's offense to one hit, an Andy Dirks first-inning single, over three innings. David Herndon's walks to Dirks and Brandon Inge in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively, were the Tigers' only other baserunners until Holaday took Michael Stutes deep to left in the eighth inning. It marked the first home run of the spring for Holaday, a sixth-round pick in last June's First-Year Player Draft.
The game remained tied until former Tigers closer Matt Anderson, making a comeback attempt in Phillies Minor League camp, entered in the bottom of the ninth. After singles from Don Kelly and Dirks put runners at the corners with one out, Thorman turned on a 96-mph fastball from Anderson and lined it into right field.
Up next for the Tigers: Detroit makes its longest road trip so far this spring Monday, pitting Brad Penny against his former National League East foes, the Mets, in a 1:05 p.m. ET game at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Chris Oxspring, Alberto Alburquerque, Lester Oliveros, Brendan Wise are among the relievers set to face New York, which will send knuckleballer R.A. Dickey to the mound for the start.
Up next for the Phillies: Philadelphia will head across the Courtney Campbell Causeway to Tampa, Fla., where they'll have a 1:05 p.m. ET meeting with the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field. Roy Oswalt is slated to make the start opposite A.J. Burnett in a game that can be heard exclusively on phillies.com.

Norcross High graduate and University of Connecticut shooting guard was picked up by the Houston Rockets in the first round of the 2102 NBA Draft held Thursday night, according to SoxAndDawgs.com.
The 2010 grad, along with fellow UConn starting center Andre Drummond, became the 17th and 18th first-round picks from UConn. The duo is also the Huskies' 12th and 13th lottery picks under 26-year head coach Jim Calhoun, and they're the 14th and 15th UConn players to leave school early for the draft, too.
Draft prognosticators had the 6-foot-5, 180-pound being selected as high as No. 8 overall, and virtually none of the so-called "mock drafts" had him falling out of the first round.
Lamb, a former basketball captain at Norcross, that said he could be going to Houston. NBA.com's David Aldridge said he would have been No. 14 to the Rockets, and he was at No. 18 according to NBA Draft Room.
Lamb, who , will be the fourth recent Norcross High star to put on an NBA uniform, joining Jodie Meeks, Al-Farouq Aminu and Gani Lawal.
Lamb was UConn's leading scorer as a sophomore and was a key figure in the Huskies' .
Draft experts compare Lamb's skills to that of former Indiana Pacers great Reggie Miller, who will be inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame this September.

We've got games against teams that are much better than ISU. Don't even let them think that they can even score a single point on us. It has to be total domination and total destruction. ISU deserves to be belonged at where they were used to be---the bottom feeders. Let's ruin their party on this Saturday night and move on.

As we lead up to the 2013 NFL Draft, FanSided.com will be bringing you some Q&A's with some of the draft prospects that your favorite team could soon be welcoming to town. First up was Cincinnati Bearcats tight end Travis Kelce who took some time out of his schedule to speak with FanSided and answer a few questions.
What did Kelce have to say? Check out the interview to find out.
Chris Boyle: From the combine to pro day, what has this whole experience leading up to the draft been like for you?
Travis Kelce: Well, with it all being exhausting, at the same time I've loved the experience. I've had a blast … meeting all the coaches and the general managers from all the teams. It's been pretty fun.
Boyle: You scored the game-winning touchdown in the Belk Bowl, an 83-yard reception in the final minutes against Duke. Take us through that play, and how does that rank all-time in your list of football achievements?
Kelce: It was definitely the night-capper of my college career. It was an unexpected play; most of the stuff that happens all over the football field is all instincts. For it to happen in that fashion — to go out on my last play of college football, my last catch, and all in all we ended up winning the game with about three assistant coaches and all the rest were graduate assistants and managers on the team – it was an accomplishment because of the guys we had and the team that we had. We put it all together. To go out like that in the end, it was pretty awesome.
Boyle: Butch Jones had left for Tennessee before the game, so how difficult was the time leading up to the bowl game without your head coach?
Kelce: It was actually pretty smooth, to be honest. All the guys on the team knew the expectations of practice and of play. We knew that the leadership of the team would take over. We sat down when Coach Jones made the decision to go to Tennessee. We were all in there, and once he left, we gathered up everybody and said, 'You know, we've still got one more game left to get 10 wins.' Everybody bought into that, and we went down into Charlotte and got it done.
Boyle: Your brother, Jason, is an offensive lineman with the Philadelphia Eagles. In the pre-draft process, how have you used him as a resource, and what are some of the things he has told you?
Kelce: It's more of a business. It's not people guiding you through it, like college and high school was for me. You've got to be proactive. You've got to go out and get what's yours, in a sense. He just told me that our situations were different, and that I was going to have to live it on my own and make the right decisions and say the right things. He's there for me if I ever have any questions for him, but he's pretty much let me live the experience on my own.
Boyle: What makes your situations so different?
Kelce: His experience was pretty rough. He had appendix surgery right before the combine, so he was down to about 280 [pounds] during the combine. It was pretty rough.
His experience and mine are similar, in that we've both had injuries, but he wasn't the prototypical size and I've been lucky enough to have the God-given ability to be 6-foot-5, 6-foot-6.
His was different because he was an offensive lineman. The marketing stuff is night-and-day between an offensive lineman and a skill-set player. He can do a lot more than someone with the ball in his hand.
Boyle: Jason's not the first player in your family to play football. Your uncle played at Purdue, and your grandfather played at Ohio. How has football become a part of your family culture?
Kelce: I can't really say that football is a storied tradition. My grandfather played in college, and my uncle played in college, but they both with into the business aspect of the world instead of going into football. My brother just worked his way into everything. He was a walk-on and earned a scholarship playing a different position. Once he got into the NFL, he had to work his way into a starting role, which is huge for being a sixth-round pick.
[Neither] me nor my brother played football until we got to high school. I think all the sports that we played growing up were kind of the backbone to us playing football. Our ability to pick up on a lot of different things helped us in terms of technique and overall knowledge of competition and stuff like that. Football, as a sport on its own, is very tight in our family, but I can definitely say that me and my brother excelled in just about every sport that we played though.
Boyle: You missed the entire 2010 season due to a violation of team rules. What was that year away from the field like for you, and how did it put things into perspective for you?
Kelce: I grew up in a sense. It was a transition year from when you turn from 19 to 20. I looked around at the people that were my age in the world, and I said I needed to take more initiative in my everyday lifestyle – what I do in the classroom, eating habits, stuff like that. It made me think why not become the ultimate person, instead of becoming the ultimate football player.
Boyle: How frequently do NFL executives bring up the matter during interviews?
Kelce: That's probably the No. 1 thing they bring up, to be honest. I've been fortunate enough to have the guys around me on the football field to where my talents show me excelling, and showing that I can actually play this game. All the questions the scouts have been having are about my character and what happened back in the day, and whether or not I've moved on from that – which I have.
Boyle: I read a profile on CBSSports.com that compared you favorably to Brandon Pettigrew of the Detroit Lions. What do you think of that comparison, and what would you say are your strengths and weaknesses?
Kelce: Well, the Pettigrew comparison – I'm not seeing that one, to be honest. That guy's about 280 and 6-[foot]-8. That's a big athlete. I'm only about 6-[foot]-5 and 260, so I don't see that comparison.
I can see it in the way we play. I definitely see the strength in my game being my aggressiveness and how I block. I think my athleticism, my route running and my ability to catch the football and make guys miss is something that's kind of being overshadowed and not looked at as much.
That's the one thing I like to do – I like to get the ball in my hands and go.
Boyle: Do you have an idea as to what round you're likely to be drafted in?
Kelce: I haven't been asking teams when they're going to draft me. The draft itself is so unpredictable that you can't tell a guy, 'We're going to draft you right here,' unless it's No. 1. I think I', just going to hang with the family on draft day and tell the coaches that my football is out there. There's not very much I can do to change the minds of the guys that are going to draft me but let them know that I'm a high-character guy and that I'm all about the team aspect of football.
Boyle: You have ties to Cincinnati (college), Cleveland (hometown) and Philadelphia (older brother). Is there any one team that would be the dream scenario for you?
Kelce: The dream's always been to go to the NFL. But then again, when you're a little kid and you're dreaming in the backyard, you're always dreaming of playing for the team you're rooting for. Growing up in Cleveland, you always pictured yourself playing for the Browns but, for a short while there, the Browns weren't around. I didn't really jump the bandwagon and find another team. I just watched football for how it was then and from that point on.
There's no team that I would love to go or hate to go to. Of course, there are wonderful cities out there that I think would be awesome to live in and experience the area. But, I don't think there's an organization that I would just say, 'That's them. I don't want to play for anybody but them.'

At 9:20 p.m Saturday California Highway Patrol Officer Marcus Hawkins was on patrol when he was advised of a citizen who phoned 911 reporting a possible DUI driver.
The officer was able to catch up to the suspect vehicle, which he observed at Todd Rd. in Santa Rosa traveling at approximately 80 mph.
While attempting to get into position for a traffic stop the officer observed the vehicle, a Honda Civic, make erratic lane changes, follow other vehicles too closely, and cut off other vehicles.
The officer pulled the Honda over at Wilfred Ave. in Rohnert Park and contacted the driver, identified as Erik Larsen, 43, of Napa.
A records check revealed that Larsen has a prior DUI conviction, a suspended license, and is currently on probation for DUI. Larsen failed field sobriety tests and was booked on charges of DUI, driving while suspended and violation of probation.

I published a month by month target record for us to get to my target year of 102 wins and 60 losses. To get to this point I asked for an April record of 14 wins and 9 losses. This was based on winning 70% of our games with most teams, and 55% of our games with contenders. At the end of April we stand at 13 and nine. Because of the rain out in Boston we are short 1 game. To be right on target we need to win the makeup. But, I consider the performance in terms of wins and losses to be on target.
How did we get here? I projected us to win 102 calculated by pythag based on scoring 867 runs and allowing 645. 22 games is 13.5% of 162. So I'd guess we should have expected 118 runs scored and 88 runs allowed. What we got was 120 runs scored and 102 runs allowed.
A pythag calculation on our actual results comes out as a .573 winning percentage. For 22 games that's 12.6 wins. Eh, we have 13 so maybe a little lucky.
The point of this is that, even with our pitching problems, the Yanks are about on target for our great year. April was a very tough schedule. Go Yanks, time to fatten up on the middle and bottom of the AL!

As the body ages, some components may become stiffer, losing youthful agility. The body also tends to become drier and to shrink, losing its youthful shapeliness. Overall, the changes of aging make the body more fragile and more prone to dysfunction. The eyes are not immune to these aging tendencies.
After we reach mid-life, the eyes start to become presbyopic and we may need reading glasses. Causes of presbyopia are not fully understood, although it is known to involve age-related changes in the lens. There are several effective treatments for presbyopia that counteract blurry near vision, and new treatments are under testing by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Presbyopia is a progressive condition and may need further treatment after a few years.
Starting in mid-life, various eye diseases may also develop, impairing vision for different reasons. Some of them will cause blindness if they are not treated.
Cataracts are an impairment of the eye's lens, where its transparency becomes clouded by tiny clumps of protein molecules. They block some of the incoming light and as they slowly expand over the years, vision becomes dimmer. When it becomes dim enough to interfere with daily activities, your eye doctor will recommend replacing the natural lens with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens. This will restore clear vision and since an artificial lens cannot develop cataracts, the problem is usually solved.
Glaucoma is a problem with optic nerve damage. Each eye has a large nerve leaving the retina which carries data from the retinal cells to the brain's vision center. Without the optic nerve, we would have no vision. In glaucoma, optic nerve damage slowly destroys peripheral vision first, and progressively also destroys central vision until total blindness will result if nothing is done. Usually the optic nerve is damaged by higher-than-normal intraocular pressure (IOP); but there are also cases of glaucoma where IOP is normal. There is no cure for glaucoma but typically it can be well managed with eyedrops that lower IOP.
AMD is a problem with the retina. The macula is the central retinal area that provides our clearest direct vision and when it starts to deteriorate, we lose that central vision. We retain peripheral vision however, which is the opposite vision loss from that of glaucoma, where peripheral vision is lost first. There are wet and dry forms of AMD. Dry AMD is the early stage and will lead to wet AMD in about ten percent of cases. Wet AMD causes more severe vision loss. Blood vessels under the retina leak blood and fluid, damaging retinal cells and causing blind spots in central vision.
Anyone can have dry eyes temporarily if they have been out in the wind or on the computer for too long. Dry Eye Syndrome is a chronic condition that affects more women than men, usually in mid-life. It is caused by a problem with tear production. There are a number of dry eye treatments, including surgical modifications to the tear drainage ducts, some medications, and procedures you can do at home.
Read about some Sight Saving Tests for Older Eyes and learn about When Age Related Vision Changes Start to Occur.
If you are approaching age 40, it would be best to visit your ophthalmologist for a thorough eye exam. Treatment results are always better when the problem is diagnosed early and with just one pair of eyes, you would not want to put your vision at any unnecessary risk.

Having tackled concept albums ("21st Century Breakdown") and adapted its "American Idiot" for the Broadway stage, Green Day has stripped itself down and returned to rock-bottom basics for "?Uno!"
It's the first of three albums to be released in rapid succession: "?Dos!" comes out Nov. 13, with "?Tr?!" scheduled for Jan. 15. Those two will have to go a considerable distance to top "?Uno!"
This edition of Green Day single-mindedly focuses on delivering straight-up, slamming rock 'n' roll using guitars, drums, bass -- and little else. Veteran producer Rob Cavallo captures the Bay Area trio at its rawest and most elemental with his crisp, forceful sound mix.
"?Uno!" floors it with the opening whirlwind of "Nuclear Family" and doesn't let up until the midtempo closer "Oh Love." Tr Cool's drums snap these songs to life with whiplike accuracy, Mike Dirnt's bass sounds more limber than ever and vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong fills in the rest of the canvas with uncontained zeal.
Armstrong's songs bubble over with hooky melodies driven by powerful guitar riffs unadorned by extraneous production, with the exception of the occasional handclaps and rudimentary vocal harmonies. The results? Bliss.
The band harnesses its firepower to drive the full-bodied choruses of "Fell for You" and "Rusty James," while its roaring guitars and full-throttle delivery place "Let Yourself Go" and "Angel Blue" more on the power end of the power-pop spectrum.
With its seriously crunching riffs and handclap-driven tune, "Troublemaker" recalls Joan Jett at her peak. "Carpe Diem" uses a similar punchiness and Cool's explosive drums to propel its sing-along refrain, tossing in a brief, scorching solo for good measure.
"?Uno!" overflows with bright, guitar-centric rock 'n' roll that's even more vibrant than its Day-Glo cover. Green Day has never sounded better. Note: Expletives pop up with some frequency throughout.

Auroville Experience
When it came to advising Aurovilians, Mother didn't beat about the bush
"The first thing needed is the inner discovery, to find out what one truly is behind social, moral, cultural, racial and hereditary appearances. At the centre there is a being, free and vast and knowing, who awaits our discovery and who should become the active centre of our being and our life in Auroville." (The Mother)
The problem, I suspect, is that while every Aurovilian sees other Aurovilians staggering under the weight of hang-ups and cultural conditionings, poor things, none of us seem to believe we're carrying any baggage ourselves. I used to believe this, until...
I'll tell you a story. I was educated at a school whose purpose, back in the 1850s when it was founded, was to train its pupils to rule and administer the British Empire. By the time I reached its ivied walls that Empire had vanished. However while we boys were no longer exhorted by winey-faced Colonels at the annual Speech Day to take up the 'white man's burden', in other, infinitely subtle, ways my school inculcated me with an image of the world and my place in it which reached back to that previous age.
There was still the unquestionable assumption, for example, that Britain (well England , actually) was best, and that Queen's English was the only language one needed to master (apart, that is, from Latin and classical Greek) in order to master the world.
Now, fast forward to around 1980. I'm riding my cycle along a path near Utility canyon. A villager on a cycle approaches from the other direction. We meet. We stop. I ask him to move out of the way as the only navigable part of the sand at that point is on the left side of the path: I know my Highway Code. He refuses. I ask him, rather more strongly, to move out of the way. He refuses. We start pushing each other. Finally we have to be separated by a passing Aurovilian....
O.K. there were plenty of mitigating circumstances, there always are. But I ask myself – if the man I had met on that narrow path had been an Englishman who addressed me in Queen's English, would I have reacted in the same way, however unreasonable his behaviour? I think not. At some level, my public school conditioning had clicked in.
This sounds like something horribly akin to racism and I hope, I really hope, that I wouldn't behave in the same way today. In fact, I think there is very little conscious racism in today's Auroville. On the other hand, I think there's quite a lot of what I would term 'unconscious culturalism' – thought patterns and behaviour influenced by unconscious attitudes and assumptions inherited from our cultural upbringing.
These assumptions may differ dramatically from culture to culture. So when a group of Aurovilians of different nationalities meet together, they may think they are speaking the same language, but the meaning they give to certain terms and the behaviour they find appropriate may be quite different. This, needless to say, can cause problems....
Take our 'apex' groups. Today, for the first time in Auroville's history, the Auroville Council and Working Committee include many Aurovilians born in the local villages. This is fine, indeed it's long overdue. However, the effectiveness of the two bodies was initially seriously hindered by, among other things (and there are always lots of other factors), a collision between different cultural assumptions and behaviours.
For example, the local Aurovilians on the Working Committee do not favour email communication when it comes to debating and deciding upon Working Committee issues. Their preference, as one of them put it, is for face-to-face contact. This is not always possible, so tensions have developed with some other Working Committee members who felt that the local Aurovilians were irresponsible in not reading or responding electronically. The local Aurovilians, feeling that their competence was being called into question, point out that they do a great deal of important work in the villages which only they have the knowledge and aptitude for.
In fact, the real difference here is not in the level of commitment to Auroville, as some people unfairly insinuated. The difference is between a culture which places more emphasis upon heart values, upon knowledge and action through personal contact, and a culture which is more mind-based and so able to operate relatively 'impersonally'.
Another source of friction stems from the perception that, in public, the local Aurovilians tend to stand together rather than expressing themselves as individuals. This is undoubtedly overstated. But if there is a grain of truth in this it seems to reflect a culture which stresses the importance of family and clan relationships, a culture where the individual draws his or her sense of identity primarily from the group, as opposed to the Western model which elevates the virtues of individualism.
Now, when it comes to cultural assumptions, one is not necessarily 'better' than another. Individualism is an invaluable tool against indoctrination and superstition but it also can weaken the sense of responsibility to society at large. Family and clan loyalties help sustain community, but they can also lead to the neglect of the greater good in the interests of one's family or clan.
In other words, when such unconscious cultural assumptions click in it is invariably the larger community, the larger ideal, which misses out. So is it any wonder that Mother was so insistent upon the Aurovilians getting beyond them?
Of course, that's not the end of it. In addition to cultural conditionings there extend far out behind us, like an invisible comet's trail, the unique individual experiences and memories which also help form and sustain whom we think we are. Yet even our responses to personal experiences are often culturally-conditioned.
What can we do about this? As a first step, maybe we can help each other, lovingly and without judgement, to discover our cultural assumptions and make them visible. For simply through speaking about them we can begin to disentangle ourselves from tentacles which stretch back over many generations and down, deep down into the depths of our unconscious.
This won't be unalloyed fun; it's never comfortable to discover that the truths one has grown up with are less than absolute. But what have we got to lose?
Nothing but ourselves. The transient and, let's face it, not terribly interesting selves which mask the "being, free and vast and knowing, who awaits our discovery".

text: I like to think of this CD as Sepultura's Master of Puppets-it is the height of their old style before they begin to progress into newer and different styles. My favorite tracks are Arise, Dead Embryonic Cells, Desperate Cry, Altered State, Subtraction, and Orgasmatron. However, Murder has its moments, Infected voice has a really cool lick in the middle, and Meaningless Movements and the Intro are also pretty good. The only songs I really dont like are CIU and Under Seige. The Desperate Cry at the end is almost identical to the earlier one. Orgasmatron, originally by Motorhead, is probably the best Sepultura cover ever. The CDs musical aspect is very similar to Beneath the Remains, but rythym, notes, and time are more varied, and several songs have interesting sound effects as introductions. The overall sound quality of the CD is excellent, and the cover art is great. I highly recommend it.

As Cleveland and Jacksonville prepare to meet for the fourth consecutive season, we reached out to Jaguars radio play-by-play voice Brian Sexton to get his take on several topics, including how Jack Del Rio has handled speculation about his job security. Here are our questions and his answers:
PFW: Assess Blaine Gabbert's play through seven starts. What has he done well, and what must he improve upon?
Sexton: Blaine has been up and down on the field, but from the first practice of training camp, it was clear he had a skill set well beyond any quarterback the Jaguars have ever had, including Mark Brunell. Blaine needed an offseason as much as he needs better receivers and his Pro Bowl tight end (Marcedes Lewis) to start catching the ball. He was going to back up (David) Garrard and two weeks into the season, he's the starting quarterback. He has the work ethic that the great quarterbacks do and has a gym-rat personality in that he wants to be working on football constantly. He would have been better off to have had a strong veteran to work behind for a season as Aaron Rodgers and Philip Rivers had but that wasn't the hand dealt, and all in all, he is dealing with it.
PFW: Obviously, Jack Del Rio's future with the club has been much speculated about. Assess the job he's done in a unique situation. How has he handled the speculation?
Sexton: Del Rio likes to say "you either feel the pressure or you apply it." He knows that his chance to make the playoffs with a rookie quarterback isn't very strong and a 3-6 record seems to set the stage for his departure already. I host both his radio and TV shows and don't see a guy who is angry or who shies away from the questions about his future. He's handled it about as well as you could ask anyone to. Of course, it helps when you have another year of $5 million whether you coach or not. …
PFW: What have been some of the keys to the defense's significant turnaround?
Sexton: The defense is built around the two young tackles. Terrance Knighton is a two-gap tackle who has great strength and quickness, and if he played for the Eagles or Patriots, (he) would be a Pro Bowler. Tyson Alualu has played with a knee injury all season that has slowed him down but as a three-technique he is very disruptive which lets (OLB) Daryl Smith and (MLB) Paul Posluszny flow to the ball. All those two guys needed were some linebackers and safeties that could take advantage of what those two guys did. (General manager) Gene Smith did a tremendous job getting so many guys who could come in on a shortened schedule and adapt to one another and the scheme. (S) Dawan Landry, (CB) Drew Coleman, (S) Dwight Lowery, (OLB) Clint Session, (DE) Matt Roth and Poszluzny are all difference makers whose skills complement those of Knighton, Alualu, Smith, (CB Rashean) Mathis and (CB) Derek Cox.
PFW: You've watched Maurice Jones-Drew throughout his career. How does this season stack up with some of his other productive years?
Sexton: Maurice Jones-Drew is having his best season both statistically and in the way he's running the ball. If you go back and watch any game, including the Steelers and Ravens games, you'll find defenders who slow down and try to gather him in instead of running downhill against him. Jones-Drew had every reason to be upset with the move to Gabbert since it's another year of his career spent rebuilding but he has embraced the rookie quarterback and it looks as if he is running to keep the heat off him. Jack Del Rio has always said (MJD) has the heart of a champion and his production and performance both back that up this season. Mix in a class guy who smiles and takes photos and signs autographs for anyone who asks and you couldn't ask for a better face for the franchise.
PFW: Finally, it's been a banner season for PK Josh Scobee to date. What has keyed his success?
Sexton: Scobee has as strong a leg as any kicker other than (Raiders PK Sebastian) Janikowski and has been steady since he arrived in 2004. He's probably as confident this season about his ability to drill a long kick (five over 50 thus far) and he actually wants to be in the most difficult situation possible and thrives off the pressure. He pushed the kick in Indianapolis last week for his first miss but I would expect him to rise to the occasion late in the season … his mentality is strong in 2011.
Brian Sexton, who has called Jaguars games since the team entered the NFL, can be followed on Twitter @JagsVoice.

BAGHDAD (AP) -- Allegations that the U.S. spied on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki are drawing a sharp reaction from the Iraqi government.
The allegations appear in Bob Woodward's new book, "The War Within: A Secret White House History, 2006-2008." Its publication comes as the two countries engage in delicate negotiations over the future of American troops in Iraq.
A government spokesman says Baghdad will raise the allegations with the U.S. and ask for an explanation. He says if they prove true, it shows a lack of trust and "casts a shadow" on future relations.
Still, a top aide to the prime minister is more measured in his response. He says the Iraqis look at the U.S. as "partners" and says "there's nothing of real value" that the U.S. would gain from spying.
The White House is refusing to comment directly. But spokeswoman Dana Perino says the administration has "a good idea of what Prime Minister Maliki is thinking because he tells us, very frankly and very candidly."

Reviews for Betrayed LyricsPerformed by Avenged Sevenfold
By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 Current page No. 1/ 5
Add Your New Review About The Song
Masterpiece | Reviewer: Brett | 8/13/11
This is a truly wonderful and clever song. Yes, it is obviously written about Dimebag's murder, but what makes it interesting is the POV it is written from. I may be wrong, but I've always felt the lyrics are through the eyes of his murderer. He was a severe paranoid schizophrenic and believed that the members of Pantera could read his mind, and were stealing his thoughts and laughing at him. He killed a few others in addition to Dime, and it seems he would have killed Vinnie too. Anyway, very clever concept, great guitar overdubs and chord structure. The bass is very well played for this song, particularly during the cleaner parts of the verses. The vocals, lead and harmony are perfectly written, but for me the stand out instrument is the drums. From, "finally together..." on there is a prog rock type of beat going on after each succession of vocal. (ala "Subdivisions" by Rush perhaps?) It then culminates into a rather tricky syncopated beat by Jimmy and heads back to the chorus. A masterful song in all aspects. RIP Dime and The Rev.
Amazing...... | Reviewer: Annonymous | 2/7/11
wow. from the first note, you know, "this is going to be good . . . . " then the fist line blends into the verse, and you're just listening to the music. singing it, though youve never heard the song. then the last note ends, and it stabs you. you want it to go on forever and ever . . . . but the note ends. the song finishes, and all is in all.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | Reviewer: Smithy Q | 1/1/11
This song is so freakin awesome. My buddy thought it was about the rev but then I told him it was written several years before the rev died... Great song... It's also pretty tough to play. Woooo A7x foREVer.
Dime | Reviewer: Hanadi | 3/26/10
I fell in love with that song the first time I heard it! It's not until this moment that I realized it's about Dime. I just read the lyrics again and WOW, I'm really overwhelmed by it.
Avenged Sevenfold is such an awesome band! <3
Anonymous | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/23/10
"ive neva really liked pantera but they are a awsome band and when i heard about dimebag from my brother it was really sad theres also another song about his death called in this river by black label society the band his brother is now in
but this song OWNES"
In This River by Black Label Society was written before DIme was killed. It's not about Dime at all. But after Zakk wrote it he thought that that song was how he felt about the situation so he just DEDICATED it to Dime. Not Written about him though.
Powerful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/17/09
The First time the chorus is sung right in the beginning, you feel that this is gonna be a great song, and you're not really listening to the lyrics. Then the first verse starts and after the first two lines, the rest of the verse explodes with emotion. The second time the chorus is sung feels and sounds so much more powerful than the first. Kudos to these guys, that takes talent. Great song, you can taste the anger.
amazing | Reviewer: ally | 4/25/09
the first time heard these guys was at a concert like 8 or 9 months ago and every secne then i like ffel in love with their music its amazing i never listined to this type of music till that concert now that all i listen to i love it!! <3
IN LOVE!! | Reviewer: Angela | 4/17/09
the very first time i heard A7X i fell in love with them. I always imagined this song as where one of the couple is cheating on the other and the other finds out and gets really mad . . . but i dont think it is now that i read the lyrics. Still yet its an amazing song, just as all of their songs. I can't really place any in first . . . i mean they're all just so amazing.
And for you info, hingy, Shadows doesn't write the songs, Synyster and the Rev do.
i swear if Avenged Sevenfold keeps up with their current tempo on the awesome songs, i am going to go crazy! in my personal opinion they totally deserve to go into the rock and roll hall of fame!
another Correction to OMG | Reviewer: Lee | 1/22/09
" ive neva really liked pantera but they are a awsome band and when i heard about dimebag from my brother it was really sad theres also another song about his death called in this river by black label society the band his brother is now in
but this song OWNES "
In This River was actually wrote before Dimes Death (and probially recorded and released on the album but im not too sure about that, the video was done after Dimes death tho and has clips of Dime in there too which is really cool) but Zakk Dedicates it to him now. i find it strange how the Lyrics fit so well with his Death too :/
Phil Anselmo | Reviewer: K=SYN | 12/20/08
I'm not full on positive with this but I think that Phillip Anselmo from Pantera is singing the line "When I fell down, I needed you there
Every note and every word seems so hard to take
Finally, In destiny" I might be wrong ya know but it sure as hell sounds alot like him.

Pamela Scarpella
Scarpella's winning program, "Wetlands Adventure in Our Backyard", is a science project that utilizes the wetlands area that is right in the backyard of the school. Through the program, students at Indian Lake Elementary School will be able to learn by exploring and investigating instead of obtaining information from a textbook or video. The hands-on project will introduce students to a wetlands habitat and allow them to explore and master science standards during the process. Students in the program will be given tools to investigate and observe the animals and plant life of the habitat. They will use microscopes and binoculars to view microscopic animal life and view different types of birds, turtles, salamanders, and frogs that live in the wetlands. The program will be evaluated by how well the students perform and from projects and assessments administered by their teachers. Not only will students benefit from the project, but all teachers, parents and members of the community will be able to observe the wetland area. Scarpella, who lives in Russells Point, hopes the program will encourage students to become more engaged in their learning process.

Oregon St. pitcher Clay Bauer, 21, will be arraigned today on assault, criminal mischief and burglary charges resulting from an incident early Saturday (as in very late Friday night) morning.
The incident occurred at the University Market at 1149 NW Van Buren Ave in Corvallis. The Corvallis police report says Bauer assaulted an employee and broke two windows.
Bauer, apparently intoxicated, was subsequently arrested a couple blocks away, and identified by a store employee.
After receiving treatment for cuts on his hand, Bauer was booked, with bail set at $25,000.
Bauer's next court date was set for Thursday, Nov. 14, according to Benton County district attorney Chris Stringer.
Bauer was a junior last season, after transferring to Oregon St., and appeared in 1 game, getting a start at San Diego St., in which he lasted only 1 2/3 innings.
Oregon St. head baseball coach Pat Casey suspended Bauer indefinitely.

Hispanic Assistance Fund
c/o Board Liaison
Box 34555
Greenville, SC 29614
Board Liaison:
Since we have entered this new millennium, we are being exposed to challenges which we never thought possible. In II Timothy, the apostle Paul advised us of these "perilous times" in which we are living. It is true that this new era is full of needs and dangers; however, it is also full of great opportunities. We must prepare a new generation to live and serve in these times. Our world needs leadership—leadership that will take a stand for the Lord, for righteousness, morality and truth. The Hispanic community is not an exception.
It is with this vision in mind that the Hispanic Assistance Fund was created. It is the Board's belief that if we, as believers in Christ, are going to make a difference, we must help prepare the future's leaders—men and women who will value truth and honor Christ. We must help future Hispanic leaders prepare for service in all occupations and walks of life.
We also believe that Bob Jones University has devoted its energy and resources to prepare such leaders. That is why the funds from the Hispanic Assistance Fund go directly to needy Hispanic students who desire to pursue an education at Bob Jones University. It is a combination of what people are taught and what they believe that determines who they are and what they will do with their life. Bob Jones University is an excellent training ground with solid teaching.
We trust that as you browse these pages you will have a greater understanding of this fund and will be moved to participate. You can always do something—prepare to serve, help those who are preparing, or pray for the ones who are serving. May the Lord bless as you consider the Hispanic Assistance Fund.
In His service,
Dr. Alberto Lopez
Mr. William Jana
Rev. Daniel Vasquez

No more excuses for Cubs fans
In May when the Cubs were a mere seven games below .500, Cubs brass would constantly remind us how the Houston Astros had a similar record the previous season and still managed to make the playoffs. This was their way of telling us to not give up and that the season was not lost.
Well, now it's our turn to point to another team as an example. Instead of bemoaning all of the rookie pitchers and injuries as an excuse to this horrible season, I will point to the Florida Marlins who have more rookie pitchers than the Cubs, a $15 million dollar payroll and they also had a worse record than the Cubs had in May, yet they are near the .500 mark and fighting for a playoff spot.
The 2006 Cubs are an absolute disgrace and it is the result of a complete failure from the club president down. Please don't insult Cubs fans with any more lame excuses

I retrieved a plastic grocery bag after asking him if he had any change of shorts, which he did not. Then we marched to the bathroom where he entered a stall with the bag while I stood outside in order to give instructions.
C.B.: What now?
Me: Take off your pants.
I could hear a struggle within the stall.
Me: Wait. Pull up your pants. Take off your shoes.
Now take off your pants. That done?
C.B.: Yeah.
Me: Now take off your underwear and put it in the bag. Where the underwear was, is there alot of pee on it?
C.B.: No, I only peed a little.
Me: Great, put your pants back on.
Me: Put your pants back on.
C.B.: I can do that?
Me: Yes.
C.B.: I can wear pants with no underwear?
Me: Yes.
C.B.: Have you done it?
Me: Yes, everyone has done it.
He came out of the stall, shoes on, tainted underwear in a plastic shopping bag, ready to get back to some serious playground time after washing his hands.
Me: No hanging upside down on the playground, okay? You don't want the world to know that you've got no underwear on.
He nodded.
We ran into one of the Ithaca College students who works with the program.
C.B.: Guess what, I'm not wearing ANY UNDErWEAR!
Me: *sigh* Commando Boy, you might not want to tell everyone that you aren't wearing any underwear. Some kids might make fun of you. I'm not saying that you have any reason to be ashamed. There is nothing to be ashamed of and it happens to everyone but you might want to keep it to yourself.
Again he nodded.
We walked to the playground hand in hand.
C.B.:(To the entire playground) GUESS WHAT? I'm not wearing ANY UNDERWEAR?!
The whole world quickly knew he had no underwear on and to my knowledge, no one said a word to him about it.

Trace Adkins Enrolls in Rehab
Taking some time to get himself back on the straight and narrow, Trace Adkins checked himself into rehab after getting into a fist fight on a cruise ship.
The 52-year-old was headlining a country cruise to Jamaica, where he got into an argument with a Trace Adkins impersonator, who was reportedly singing karaoke in one of the ship's bars.
The country singer has struggled with alcoholism in the past, and after exiting the ship when it arrived in Jamaica, his spokesperson released a statement, saying, "Trace has entered a treatment facility after a setback in his battle with alcoholism."
The representative continued,"As he faces these issues head-on, we ask that his family's privacy will be respected."

CB Police Bust Gambling Operation; Drug Bust Leads To High Speed Chase
- Details

Picture of some items seized from the gambling operation.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - It was a busy week for the Carolina Beach Police Department. They busted a gambling operation in a condo near Snow's Cut Bridge and in a separate case caught a drug deal going down which led to a high-speed motorcycle chase ending near the Carolina Beach Lake.
According to Carolina Beach Police Detective Scott Hettinger, on Friday May 3, detectives with the Carolina Beach and Kure Beach Police Departments conducted a search warrant on 625 Spencer Farlow Dr. Unit 21 in the Paradise Cove condo complex in reference to an illegal gambling operation being conducted at the residence. Detective's executed the search warrant and located four "Pot-of-Gold" machines, over three thousand dollars in cash, Oxycodone narcotics, Alprazolam pills, marijuana, and a 9mm pistol.
Detectives arrested Stan Andrews Dreibelis and Robert Christian Fleck.
Fleck, born March 2, 1978, was charged with "gambling possessing/operating gaming device".
Dreibelbis, born October 8, 1978, was charged with, "gambling possess/operate gambling device". Both listed their address as 625 Spencer Farlow Dr. Unit#21, Carolina Beach,NC 28428.
In a separate case, on Thursday May 2, 2013 Detectives with the Carolina Beach and Kure Beach Police Department involved in a month long investigation observed Rodney Smith of 1002 S.6th St.
According to police reports, Carolina Beach Police Department watched a hand to hand drug transaction in the parking lot of the Food Lion on North Lake Park Blvd near Snow's Cut Bridge.
A detective attempted to stop Smith who was riding a moped in the parking lot. Smith refused to stop and traveled south on N. Lake Park Blvd.
Smith turned through the back streets and back on the main road multiple times sometimes traveling in excess of 55 miles per hour.
Smith then entered the walkway around the lake and drove around to the other side getting off at Lake Drive where he was placed under arrest.
Detective's then observed the moped was actually a 150cc motorcycle.
Smith was transported to the police department for processing and Detective's continued the investigation arriving at 216 Harper Ave.
Detective's conducted a search of the residence and located a pistol, cash, 270 Oxycodone pills, 60 Alprazolam pills, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.
Both subjects were transported to the New Hanover County Jail on bond. First appearances were set for May 3, 2013 at the New Hanover County Courthouse.
James Mitchell Furr, born September 1, 1969, of 216 Harper Avenue in Carolina Beach was charged with Possession with intent to manufacture, sale, and distribute a Schedule II controlled substance.
He was also charged with "Sell/Deliver a Schedule II" controlled substance and, "Maintaining a Dwelling for Use/Sale of" a controlled substance. His bond was set at $5,000 secured.
The second subject arrested was Rodney Richard Smith, born March 27, 1969, living at an address of 1002 6th St. in Carolina Beach.

He was also charged with, "Maintain a Vehicle for the Use/Sale of" a controlled substance and, "Flea to Elude Arrest in a Motor Vehicle". His bond was set at $10,000 secured.

RICHLAND, WA - The Benton Franklin Safe Kids Coalition is teaming up with inmates from Coyote Ridge to raise awareness about shaken baby syndrome. They donated more than 500 purple hats for infants to Kadlec Regional Medical Center. Kadlec will give the hats to new parents along with education material to inform them about shaken baby syndrome. It's part of an effort to teach parents how to cope in a child's early months when babies cry the most.
"You have to know where you're at emotionally as the parent or the caregiver. At any given time if you're feeling that you're getting stressed out you need to be able to set the baby down and go collect your thoughts," said Kadlec nurse, Kristen Faught.
Faught has a 21-year-old son who was shaken as a baby by his father. He now lives with several health complications. Faught hopes that educating people will prevent shaken baby syndrome and the potential loss of life.

Summer campers not put off by cooler weather and look forward to Fall adventures.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) -- Doctors say prescription drug abuse is on the rise across the country. Every year, the most prescriptions are written during cold and flu season.
To try to combat misuse, organizations across the country came together Saturday for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.
A simple doctor's note gives you access to Oxycontin, Vicodin, Adderall and many more commonly used and abused medications.
"It's subtle and it's tough to see, but you can also understand how people get there because it starts off as just a prescription," said Jessie Maynard, a therapist at St. Vincent Catholic Charities.
Abuse rates across the country are alarmingly high. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says nearly 7 million Americans abuse prescription drugs, which is nearly twice as many as those who use cocaine, heroin, inhalants and hallucinogens combined.
"Our prescription folks were kind of a rarity. Now, I would say it's at least 50/50, and the prescription folks are probably starting to slide to the majority," Maynard said.
Those soaring rates led the DEA to partner with police departments across the country for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. Twice a year, departments, like the Michigan State Police Lansing Post, take expired, unwanted and unused prescription drugs, no questions asked.
"It's a way for people to bring in their prescription drugs and get rid of them, as opposed to having these drugs sit around the house where there's a possibility for misuse or abuse, or someone using them that's not prescribed," said Sgt. Kevin Beasley of the Michigan State Police Lansing Post.
Over the past few years, Michigan State Police has safely disposed of thousands of pounds of prescription drugs. In the first two hours Saturday, they already had over 20 pounds of prescription medications at the Lansing Post.
Last year's national event alone collected 244 tons of prescription medications. Add that to the previous take-back events, and the DEA has collected over 1,000 tons of medication in the hopes of combating a potentially dangerous, illegal and deadly addiction.
Jackson City Police, 216 E. Washington, holds a permanent drop box for prescription medication.

How Socrato Compare with Other Services
One of the best way to predict, prepare and ace any test is to practice, under simulated conditions, using the old retired or released tests created by the examination organizations themselves. Why pay more for study materials that are of unknown quality?
The Socrato Advantage
With Socrato you can process and run diagnostic reports on retired, released exams and practice exams from the College Board, ACT, Inc. and other agencies.
While we do not sell, distribute or copy these exams, practice exams and study materials are widely and inexpensively available from these agencies and other sources. Some tests are available for free for download from the agencies as samples. You can also borrow retired tests from friends and from local libraries. Test books and study materials are available both online and local bookstores for as little as $15.
The problem with these released tests is that many do not have a quality scoring and diagnostic processing solution. The time it takes to score, grade and analyze tests – and create action items -- can span anywhere from 15 minute to an hour or more for exams like the SAT or ACT. Interpreting the results and knowing where to focus your study effort can be a cumbersome and daunting task. Even then, many students and parents are left with only a vague idea of where to turn next. Socrato makes it easy!
Practice Released Test, Get Real Insights, Improve Faster, Save Money
Socrato's advanced scoring and reporting feature offers you a cost effective solution. Quickly enter your answers using our online bubble sheet and let Socrato score and analyze the results automatically. With help from Socrato's personalized analytics, you will have more time to practice more tests, prepare more efficiently, and improve your scores faster than other online method. Plus you'll have extra money to set aside for college!

The Natural Light Wall is on a crag about 25 minutes walk away from the stirrup tank parking lot. It is southwest facing and sees the sun for most of the day. It's a quiet area where it would be rare to see another group, and there is a few established routes in the vicinity in the moderate range, but there looks like there is potential for more, both sport and trad. Equipped with nice scenery and a comfortable staging spot, the area is perfect place to bring the wall's namesake beverage.
Getting There
From the stirrup tank parking lot loop, head west about a half mile, walking on the north side of the crags down the dry river bed/wash. When you get to the gap in the crags, hook a left (southeast-ish) and you're about 700 yards away. Stay to the right (east) side of the valley and you should stumble upon it.

I recall a post similar to this last year or two years ago. Let's be honest, scouts are not always right. Some are better than others and they make a living off of this. For the most part this community is filled with super fans who dream of jobs in baseball. Sorry to burst any bubbles, but I sincerely doubt many of us will ever be paid to evaluate baseball players for a living. We all love to pat ourselves on the back for our successes. This is a chance for us to humble ourselves and admit our shortcomings,. Things I was wrong about-
#1- I thought Trevor Cahill was better prepared for the MLB than Brett Anderson. I also thought he was going to have a better career. Anderson has proven me wrong this year and at this point I expect him to have a better career than Cahill (not at knock on Cahill, I just thought he was better. I see Anderson as a potential #1 and Cahill as a 2/3 at this point.)
#2-I thought Ricky Romero would never be a productive MLB pitcher because of injuries. I am very impressed with him this year, he looks like a future #2 to me.
#3-I thought Dominc Brown and Michael Taylor would be all tools/no baseball skill Philly players who fizzed out in the minors. At this point I really believe in both of them.
#4- I never saw this coming from Mat Latos.
#5-I had a hunch the polish of Alderson would outshine the stuff of Bumgarner.
#6-I thought Brett Jackson would struggle from day one as a professional hitter.
#7-I thought Boras would prevent Strasburg and Matzek from signing (off topic, I know.)
#8-After his horrible start in AA I expected Pedro Alvarez was on his way to being a huge bust.
#9-I did not expect Neftali Feliz to be the best middle reliever in baseball in August 2009.
#10-Where the heck did Andrew Bailey come from?
#11-I expected Andrew McCutheon to struggle initially in the show.
#12-I thought (hoped) Michael Ynoa would be dominating Low A by now. (I am not giving up on him.)
#13-I thought Hosmer would mash no matter where he was.
#14-I thought the Verducci effect would take it's toll on Lincecum. (Quick props-this website has been so right about Timmy, he is an absolute stud.)
#15-I thought lack of strike zone judgement would catchup to Pablo Sandoval.
I am not afraid to admit, I have more than this. Let's hear it, who were you wrong about?

The proposed MBTA service cuts and fare hikes would have a severe impact on the area residents – that's the MBTA officials heard at a public hearing on the issue last night in Waltham.
More than 100 people turned out for the hearing held by the MBTA at the Arthur Clark Government Center to discuss the two proposals the MBTA has made to close its $161 million budget for the next fiscal year.
Under the two proposed scenarios, . The MBTA will make its final recommendations on any changes in March, and by April 15, the MBTA Board of Director will make its final decision. Changes would take affect in July.
Despite the proposals, MBTA General Manager Jonathan Davis, who attended the meeting, said neither proposal would implemented in their current forms. The MBTA, he said, is searching for other ways to close the budget gap, including one-time revenues. The MBTA, however, needs a long-term transportation finance plan, he said.
The reason for the MBTA's financial situation, Davis said, is the T's rising costs in fuel and labor.
The state could dip into its rainy day fund among other ways things to close the budget gap, according to the Governor's Councilor Marilyn Devaney, of Watertown. Also, she said other agencies could take on the Big Dig debt he MBTA received when the lawmakers revamped the transportation agencies several years ago. Also, cities could pool their snow and ice removal money not used this winter to help the MBTA, she said.
"There are a lot of solutions to look into," Devaney said.
Waltham Mayor Jeanette McCarthy suggested the MBTA become more efficient to save money before asking for service cuts or fare hikes.
The MBTA could also add surcharges for Boston Bruins or Boston Celtics games paid for by the teams, Waltam City Councilor Gary Marchese suggested. Also, all current expansion project could be halted until the debt situation improves, he said.
"It's a shame we have gotten to this point. The MBTA should be ashamed of themselves for putting us in this position," Marchese said.
Other speakers suggested increases in the gas tax and reversing the MBTA's ban on allowing alcohol advertising on its systems. Davis, in response to the alcohol issue, said he does not think it is appropriate for the T to promote alcohol. He said the MBTA raised $1.2 million in revenue the last time it allowed alcohol advertising, and later replaced that money with other advertising.
"We believe we need to provide an appropriate environment for our youth to travel … we don't necessarily think they should be exposed to alcohol advertising," Davis said.
Many of the speakers suggested a long-term MBTA funding plan be created to avoid future budget gaps and help it climb out of its $5.2 billion debt, something Davis acknowledged. Currently, the MBTA is funded by several sources, including a small portion of the sales tax, fares, subsidies from communities that use the MBTA, and parking fees. ( More information on the MBTA's finances.)
The T's operation costs often don't cover the cost of a single ride. For example, the actual cost of a ride on the comment is typically $7.58, but riders only pay on average $3.60, according to a presentation given during the hearing.
McCarthy strongly advocated against the cuts, citing several impacts it could have on the city. Cutting the 70A bus, the only route that services North Waltham, would hinder many from getting to and from work.
"Cutting these basic services … would have a detrimental impact on our day to day routines," McCarthy said.
For others, fare hikes would be a tough financial pill to swallow. Jane Binkerd, of North Waltham, said she would have difficulty affording rate hikes after recently rejoining the workforce.
"I certainly cannot afford a one passenger car," Binkerd said.
Service cuts would also greatly impact students, according to Brandeis University Student President Herbie Rosen. Any cuts, he said, would hinder students from getting to and from their jobs and internships.
"By compromising that, you are compromising our education," Rosen said.
Cuts would also hurt the efforts of prisoners trying to re-enter society when they are released from jail, according to Frank Afflitto, of the Community Day Center Of Waltham. The center assists homeless people and former prisoners.
"If you want people to leave incarceration … they need to be able to find a job. They need to be able to get to that job,' Afflitto said.
Disabled individuals would also feel the burden of the cuts, according to Victoria Buckley of the Lexington Commission on Disability. Buckley said she opposed the rate increase to THE RIDE program, which provides transportation to disabled customers.
"We can't afford the human cost of eliminating service," Buckley said.
For others, the proposals would threaten their independence.
"I use the MBTA. I do not drive. I need public transportation to maintain my independence. It would be a hardship if the MBTA stops the bus I ride. I cannot afford for the price to go higher. Please do not cut the routes or increase the price," said Adam Maher, a member of the Board of Directors for GWarc, a Waltham organzation that assists people with developmental disabilities.
Waltham real estate could also become less attractive to potential buyers. Sarah Hankins, a former candidate for the Waltham City Council and Lakeview neighborhood resident, said the cuts could make her neighborhood a less attractive place to buy a home.
"I have a concern as a homeowner that the area would not be as desirable," Hankins said.
Service cuts would also prevent Waltham from growing the city in a way that encourages public transportation, known as smart growth, according to City Councilor Robert Logan.
"How do you do smart growth if you don't have public transportation?" said Logan, who uses to the MBTA to get to and from work every day.
