Best to Buy
Look for salmon that smells fresh like the ocean with clear eyes, clean gills, and moist scales.
Prep & Store
Remove packaging, rinse fish under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Refrigerate covered with crushed ice and cling wrap for up to two days.
Tasty Tip
The secret to fantastic salmon is to not overcook it. Salmon is done when its flesh becomes opaque but is still moist on the inside.
Quick & Easy Recipe
Place seasoned or marinated salmon on a well-greased broiler pan and broil 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12.5 cm) from heat.

BUFFALO NY - The Buffalo Zoo is still basking in the spotlight of its newest resident, Luna, a three month old polar bear. Luna is the centerpiece of the zoo's fundraising campaign that will build the bear's permanent home.
Now comes word that the zoo will host another baby polar bear. Kali, pronounced Kully, was orphaned just a few weeks ago in northwest Alaska. Just about the same age, the two cubs will teach each other how to behave like bears.
Buffalo Zoo President Donna Fernandes tells Two On Your Side the zoo is ready for its guest.

Read: Donald Fehr Has Done His Job
In The Hockey News, Ken Campbell writes that Donald Fehr deserves a raise from the NHLPA because his strategy of waiting out the owners to get a better deal has worked in a big way.
Campbell writes that Fehr has made the owners crazy with his tactics such as arriving an hour late for a meeting and then leaving shortly after. He writes "despite not having a single card to play going into this game, he has managed to take the league to the cleaners every bit as decisively as his predecessors."
He thinks that Fehr played into the idea that the owners never wanted to cancel this season and by waiting around the players would get a deal that is better for them.
Damien Cox writes in the Toronto Star "He was never going to say "yes" to anything before January 2013. Even this newest NHL offer came after three weeks of Fehr essentially doing nothing but simply waiting, while his membership surrendered $10 million in salaries per day to bankroll his patience and legacy."
Adam Rotter: It is hard to believe that Gary Bettman and the owners thought that the lockout would drag on this long. The owners, most of them, signed up for a two-month lockout that would see them gain some advantages, lower the players share and start on Thanksgiving. Fehr knew that the owners didn't want to lose the season and that he could make the bests deal he could out of a bad situation.

Two weeks into the new year, chances are that keeping your pledge to lose weight or get in shape in 2013 is starting to get a little tougher.
Fortunately, three area gyms are taking three very different approaches to combat post-resolution backsliding.
At the YMCA, its all about fostering a family atmosphere, making sure that people know they are welcome and that they feel at home.
Our intent is to get people involved and keep them involved, Watertown Family Y Executive Director Peter W. Schmitt said. If somebody doesnt care that youre coming in to work out, pretty soon youll stop coming.
Making fitness fun in a world of great couches, good TV, great restaurants and good food is not easy, but its something the YMCA seems to be managing.
According to Mr. Schmitt, membership is steady downtown and trending upward at the Fairgrounds location, where it has increased 200 percent since the Y took it over from Ultimate Goal in 2007. The gymnastics program alone has enrolled 850 children.
Family and senior membership at the Y is up, though young adult membership is down, Mr. Schmitt said.
The monthly family membership rate is $49.58. For a senior couple, it is $37.92. For a young adult, it is $20.
At Page Fitness, 19472 Washington St., co-owner Christopher R. Page and his staff of trainers will conduct a one-on-one consultation with prospective clients to craft a tailored exercise program designed to meet clients fitness goals.
The center, which is the only licensed CrossFit location within at least 70 miles and the closest TRX training facility this side of Canada, doesnt do memberships, Mr. Page said.
Instead, it offers a variety of small group classes with 15 or fewer people. This system, along with comprehensive nutrition counseling, enhances accountability and increases retention.
The personalized approach also increases the appeal of the center across age groups and fitness levels.
Mr. Page said that he gets athletes and soldiers striving for Special Forces, but that 70 percent of the people who walk through his doors just want to lose weight.
Most people think they have to be fit to come here, but thats not necessarily true, he said.
The social and goal-driven approach to functional fitness enables clients to see their progress and stay motivated.
Its an investment, though.
LesMills Ltd. group fitness classes at the center, including full body weight training, body combat, body flow and body jam, are available from $67 to $128 per month. Training packages run $250 per month and up, in four-, six- and 12-month cycles.
At Planet Fitness, 1222 Arsenal St., its the trademarked Judgement Free Zone that brings a lot of dedicated people in, said Danielle E. Barres, general manager.
Ms. Barres said that in her experience, the majority of people stick to their resolutions in Watertown, more so than shes seen at other locations.
They are motivated by the same reasons people throughout the country make their resolutions: They want to get back in shape, be healthier and resolve medical problems.
Ms. Barres said that the friendly desk service at the gym and the knowledgeable fitness trainers are a big part of the list of benefits that encourage customer loyalty.
The prices might have something to do with it, too.
If you just want to use the gym, $10 a month is all youll pay. For access to tanning booths, massage chairs, guest passes and half-priced drinks at more than 600 national locations, its $19.99.
However, youll have to forgo such perks as towels or day care, and you wont be able to swim, since the facility doesnt have a pool.
In fact, if youre amphibiously inclined, only the YMCA will fit the bill.
Speaking of the Y, Mr. Schmitt said he welcomes all the new competition in town. For Y members, it has the hidden benefit of taking away the incredible annoyance of having to wait for a machine when the place is busy.
The competitive rebalancing in town has made us more user friendly, Mr. Schmitt said.

YIELD: Makes 6 (1/2-cup) servings
- 8 ounces frozen blueberries
- 8 ounces orange juice
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, sliced, plus additional wedges for garnish
- 2 whole strawberries, plus additional berries for garnish
- 1 teaspoon flax seed oil
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder*
- 2 tablespoons Splenda
Place all ingredients in blender at high speed for 1 minute. Add additional orange juice if smoothie is too thick. If the mixture is too thin, add more frozen blueberries. Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with half strawberry and pineapple wedge.
*Any kind of protein powder can be used for this smoothie. Some brands recommended by Cal-a-Vie are Jay Robb Whey Protein, Biochem Sports Whey Protein, and Solgar Whey to Go Protein Powder.
Chef's notes:
· If you would like to avoid sugar substitutes, you can use 2 tablespoons of regular sugar rather than Splenda.
· Using frozen blueberries rather than ice makes this smoothie thick without diluting its flavor.

Find The Diet That Is Best For You
When it comes to diets, everyone seems to have an opinion, which they have no problem sharing, so it is no wonder it is complicated to find the best diet. There's no one diet that will work for everyone, but anyone can benefit from trying and sticking with a diet that's consistent with their goals, lifestyle and current state of health. The following information about effective diet plans will give you some ideas you can use.
Losing weight without exercising is a claim that some diet programs make. This might sound good, but in the end, it will probably not be very effective. The ideal way to lose weight is cut calories and add exercise, so if you don't think that you need the exercise, you will need to cut the calories down to a starvation type of diet.
Exercise is a vital part of the formula, when you want a plan to lose weight in a healthy way. This doesn't have to be a hardship if you find a type of exercise that's enjoyable. Very often, it takes a bit of willpower to start an exercise program, but it becomes much easier once you get into it.
There is a diet that shifts calories, and it has been successful for quite a lot of people. There is a technique known as calorie shifting that is what this new diet is all about rather than simply cutting calories altogether.
What calorie shifting can be described as, is being on a restrictive diet for several days, where you limit your calories, and then you take a diet break and eat what you want for several days. The idea of this diet is to break the diet every several days, which should keep you from sneaking food, and feeling guilty about it.
The main purpose of calorie shifting is to not let your metabolism slow down like most low-calorie diets, by allowing you to eat enough every few days to keep your metabolism going. The reduction of calories can cause the body to go into starvation mode, but this doesn't happen because when you calorie shift, you never stop eating long enough for this to take place.
You have to be honest with yourself when choosing the best diet plans. For a diet to be worthwhile, it can't be incompatible, or you will not be excited with it, and you will find lots of reasons for not staying on it. Weight loss programs can be frustrating, especially when you are doing a diet plan, and you think you are being faithful to the plan, but no weight is coming off.
Unless you are prepared to give up meat and other animal products, doing a vegan diet is bad for you, because you will miss eating animal products too much. Why would you think that you could go on a diet centered on eating cabbage, but cabbage is something you don't like at all. A good diet for you needs to be one where you don't sneak food, so find one where you aren't going to be deprived or hate the food.
Choosing the right quick weight loss diets may take some research on your part, but it can be worth the effort if it helps you achieve your goals. When you do find a diet that seems to be working, give it a chance and stick with it for a while. Success of any diet plan is determined by how consistent you are in following directions, and persevering.

Gov. John Kitzhaber knows that. After all, he helped build it.
When Kitzhaber was governor from 1995 to 2003, he spent hundreds of millions constructing new prisons.
He didn't like spending big money to warehouse society's problems. A former emergency-room doctor, Kitzhaber prefers low-cost prevention to high-cost treatment, often noting it costs $10,000 a year to educate a child but more than $30,000 to house a prisoner.
But when sentencing laws forced his hand, Kitzhaber built a prison system that has become the envy of other states. As Jody Sundt, an assistant professor of criminology at Portland State University, puts it, "Oregon's correctional system is nationally recognized as a leader."
In a variety of ways, state and federal figures show, Oregon has one of the most effective corrections models anywhere. The system uses prison sparingly, locks up the right people and helps keep them from reoffending.
Yet now Kitzhaber is trying to undo that good work.
He says we can't afford the current system.
"The relentless growth in the Department of Corrections is one of the major reasons we cannot adequately invest in education," he told Oregonians in his Jan. 14 State of the State address.
Kitzhaber's commission on public safety proposed big changes to sentencing laws in an effort to stop that "relentless growth."
They would be the biggest reductions in sentencing in 20 years.
That approach is risky for a few reasons: First, polls show citizens fear crime and don't know it has declined.
Second, data from his own Department of Corrections show that Kitzhaber's assertions about the prison system's "relentless growth" are false.
And finally, according to critics, Kitzhaber's reform plan will tamper with an aspect of state government that functions unusually well.
"The Oregon public-safety system is doing exactly what it was designed to do," says Clackamas County District Attorney John Foote. "Over the past 25 years, it is the most successful part of state government."
In 2011, Kitzhaber returned to the governor's office for a third term, determined to reshape Oregon.
When he looked at Oregon's education system, the state's biggest budget item, he saw too many dropouts and too few teachers. He vowed improvement.
When he examined Oregon's approach to health care, the state's second-biggest cost, he saw unnecessary procedures, too many ER visits and gold-plated hospital beds. So he launched aggressive reforms.
This year, he is taking aim at the state's third-biggest cost, prisons.
Kitzhaber was unavailable for comment on this story, but he's made plenty of public statements on the subject.
"If we are unwilling to act on this issue, we will, by default, be choosing prisons over schools and condemning untold numbers of today's students to a future in our system of corrections rather than in our system of postsecondary education," Kitzhaber told lawmakers in January.
And in February, he submitted to the Oregon Legislature a reform plan that would dramatically shift the Department of Corrections' course and rein in its $660 million annual budget. He has proposed to save $60 million annually over the next 10 years.
He wants to prevent bad outcomes rather than paying more to fix them later.
Kitzhaber oversaw a massive increase in the prison population last time around. In 1994, the year he was first elected governor, voters approved Kevin Mannix's Measure 11, which established mandatory minimum sentences for violent crimes.
That fueled a rapid increase in the number of prisoners: Oregon state prisons, which hold all offenders sentenced to more than a year, saw their population increase by 85 percent from 1995 to 2005.
Kitzhaber's plan is to reduce sentences for three common Measure 11 crimes, promote alternatives to incarceration and effectively cap the number of inmates in Oregon's 14 prisons around the current number—14,308.
He has said Oregon is laboring under "the burden of an unsustainable system" that is increasingly imprisoning the wrong people.
Oregon's Incarceration Rate Is Low
Despite Measure 11's mandatory minimum sentences, Oregon incarcerates felons at about three-quarters of the national average, as it did in 1990, before voters approved Measure 11.
From the beginning, critics hated Oregon's mandatory minimum sentences.
David Rogers, director of the Partnership for Safety and Justice, a Portland nonprofit opposed to Measure 11, says mandatory minimums are bad policy because they remove judicial discretion and brand convicted juveniles for life.
"Measure 11 is not getting the job done," Rogers says. "There are smarter approaches."
Proponents and opponents of Measure 11 will never agree. But here's what's indisputable: Despite Measure 11, Oregon's incarceration rate is modest.
The state ranks 33rd in incarceration, according to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, imprisoning 373 people per 100,000, just three-quarters of the national average.
"I think a lot of people are taken in by the propaganda, but Oregon is not the gulag," says Don Rees, chief deputy in the Multnomah County District Attorney's office. He serves on the prison population forecast committee.
Perhaps more important is who is doing time in Oregon prisons.
With a low rate of incarceration, it seems logical that Oregon is leaving bad guys on the streets.
In fact, statistics show our system does an outstanding job of putting away the criminals Oregonians want locked up.
A 2010 Bureau of Justice Statistics study shows Oregon has the highest rate of violent offenders behind bars of the 33 states that report such figures. That means we have the lowest rate of nonviolent offenders. As of March, fewer than 6 percent of Oregon inmates were doing time solely for drug offenses. Federal figures show we have the second-lowest incarceration rate for drug offenders in the country.
"It's almost impossible to get into prison in Oregon for drug possession," Rees says.
Kitzhaber wants Oregon to shift spending to addiction services and more effective alternatives to incarceration, and stop released convicts from returning to prison. Prosecutors agree with him.
But Oregon already has the nation's lowest recidivism rate because of innovative post-prison supervision policies.
The national nonprofit organization that is leading prison reforms around the country—including in Oregon—acknowledges the state's success.
"Oregon is a state that is ahead of the pack," says Adam Gelb, director Pew's Public Safety Performance Project. "But state leaders think there is room for significant improvement not just in sentencing and corrections policies but overall in how the state is attacking crime."
Recidivism: Oregon Is the Lowest
A 2011 study by the Pew Center on the States found Oregon has the lowest rate of recidivism—defined as a felony conviction within three years of leaving prison—in the country. Here's how Oregon compares to adjacent states and the national average:
Six months after taking office for his third term, Kitzhaber named the 2011 Commission on Public Safety. His directive to the seven-person panel was pointed:
"As a result of the incarceration costs of our current sentencing policies, Oregon faces the untenable choice of having to fund its prisons or educate our children," Kitzhaber wrote in the executive order creating the commission.
The commission, led by then-Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul De Muniz, included former Gov. Ted Kulongoski, four lawmakers and a Salem car dealer. A glaring omission on the panel—no cops or prosecutors.
Steve Doell, of the advocacy group Crime Victims United, says that made no sense.
"How do you have a commission on a topic that is so important without having all the key stakeholders and their expertise at the table?" Doell asks.
The panel's makeup also disappointed Foote, the Clackamas County district attorney.
Foote, 62, a politically savvy prosecutor, would have been an obvious choice for the commission. In 2008, he worked with anti-incarceration advocates to defeat an expansion of mandatory sentencing laws.
And Foote, the Clackamas County DA since 2000, had also served as deputy director and inspector general of the Department of Corrections from 1990 to 1995.
So he and other prosecutors watched Kitzhaber's commission with keen interest. What they heard didn't fit their experience.
Uninvited, Foote showed up in late 2011 to testify in front of the commission.
Although, like others who wanted to comment, he was granted only three minutes, he and prosecutors from Multnomah and Washington counties created enough political heat that Kitzhaber reconstituted his Commission on Public Safety in 2012.
This time, the panel included a defense attorney, Department of Corrections director Colette Peters, Marion County Sheriff Jason Myers—and Foote.
Kitzhaber, De Muniz and legislative leaders also invited the Washington D.C.-based Pew Center for the States to staff the commission.
Pew started a national Public Safety Performance Project in 2006, helping roll out reforms in higher-incarceration states such Arkansas, South Carolina and Texas.
In commission meetings, Foote sparred with Pew staffers. Although Pew praised Oregon's past correctional performance, its analysts warned that Oregon's mix of prisoners and length of sentence were trending the wrong way—toward less-violent offenders and longer sentences.
Pew based its assertions on data from 2000 to 2010, despite the fact that conditions changed dramatically in 2005, when prison growth ground nearly to a halt.
"In the seven years since 2005, Oregon's prison population has expanded by 9 percent," says an Oregon Office of Economic Analysis review of the prison population. "In the seven years prior, the population expanded by 67 percent."
Foote disputed Pew's
findings, using state figures to show the percentage of violent
offenders has actually increased slightly since 2005, and the length of
sentences has oscillated in a range but remains far less than the
national average.
"For the past nine months, we have tried to quietly, but clearly, raise our concerns about the work that Pew has been doing, both behind the scenes and directly to Pew and others, with virtually no success," Foote says.
Pew's Gelb says his analysts did not cherry-pick data.
"The commission got a very robust comprehensive and accurate portrait of where the system is and where it's headed without significant action by the legislature."
When Pew claimed Oregon was locking up too many "low-risk" inmates, Foote pushed back hard.
He and other DAs checked a list of 850 inmates Pew said could safely be released from prison.
Pew's list included 57 people convicted of homicides, and dozens more convicted of rapes and especially violent crimes.
And many, such as James R. Tourdot, convicted of assault in the second degree in Multnomah County in 2011, seemed anything but "low risk."
On April 16, 2011, Tourdot, according to a prosecutor's summary, became enraged when a man named Curtis Threelegs pushed him out of a chair in a downtown Portland building.
"The defendant then broke his victim's orbital socket and ripped out his eye with his hand," the summary read. "Despite emergency treatment at OHSU, the eye could not be saved."
Tourdot was sentenced to 56 months in prison. Although he had a long record in Washington, California and Montana, the risk-assessment tool cited by Pew failed to take that into account.
After Foote made his case, media outlets jumped on the "low-risk" controversy.
At the next Commission on Public Safety meeting, Kitzhaber decried "the use of fear and emotion to drive public policy by anecdote," and batted down any implication he was soft on crime.
"I'm not interested in nor will I support any reform of the public-safety system that shortens sentences or provides for early release of violent offenders," Kitzhaber said Sept. 24.
Raphael says Kitzhaber wasn't advocating early release for prisoners already sentenced under Measure 11.
"The governor thinks we need to consider all constructive alternatives and find the most effective ways to redirect resources to investments that will prevent crime in the first place," Raphael says.
Yet his commission eventually took a meat cleaver to Measure 11. The proposal it sent the Legislature would end mandatory minimum sentences for second-degree robbery, second-degree assault and first-degree sex abuse.
Collectively, figures show, those crimes account for more than 40 percent of Measure 11 convictions.
De Muniz, the former Supreme Court chief justice who chaired Kitzhaber's public-safety panel, says it's time to put sentencing back in judge's hands.
"One way to bend the cost curve in corrections is to allow more judicial discretion so we can consider the character of the offense and the character of the offender," De Muniz tells WW. "That doesn't work with mandatory minimums."
Rogers, of the Partnership for Safety and Justice, calls the suggested sentencing changes "modest change that will leave the vast majority of Measure 11 intact."
Chuck French, a former Multnomah County prosecutor now doing policy work for Metro-area district attorneys, disagrees.
"These three crimes are the No. 1, 3 and 4 most-charged Measure 11 offenses, and they make up 42 percent of all Measure 11 indictments," French says. "It is statistically accurate to say this would gut Measure 11."
Foote says Pew's remedies are wrong for Oregon. "Many of the problems Pew wants to fix in other states are just not problems here," Foote says.
Pew—after offering what was supposed to be objective analysis—is lobbying to get Oregon to approve the agenda it drafted for Kitzhaber.
Pew is deploying and paying for a dozen registered lobbyists—including well-known figures such as Greg Peden and brothers Kevin and Craig Campbell—to make the case for cutting Measure 11.
"They were supposed to be impartial staff for the public-safety commission," French says. "But now we see they are advocates."
Pew's Gelb says his organization provided unbiased analysis but always planned to help implement the commission's findings. He says there's no conflict of interest. "We had a very clear agenda from the beginning," Gelb says. "A better public safety return on Oregon's corrections spending."
In his third term, Kitzhaber has shown a mastery of power politics—he rolled his education reforms through the 2011 Legislature and skillfully punched a Nike tax bill though a special legislative session in December.
Now, with the endorsement of an influential nonprofit, he has pushed a major revision of Measure 11 close to the brink of reality—lawmakers probably will vote next month—with little fanfare.
Even for a governor who last year bucked the Oregon Constitution with his refusal to allow death-row inmate Gary Haugen to be executed, rolling back sentencing is a big political gamble.
That's especially true when the data doesn't support such a move.
Former Labor Commissioner Jack Roberts, who followed the public-safety commission from afar, says making big changes to Measure 11 could have the unintended consequence of increasing the percentage of nonviolent offenders in prison and spurring an increase in mandatory sentencing.
"First, the underlying premise here is wrong," Roberts says. "We have a system that works really well."
If lawmakers roll back Measure 11, Roberts says it could cause law-and-order advocates to put even tougher measures on the ballot, and next time put them in the constitution so lawmakers cannot change them.
"You don't save much money," Roberts says, "and you end up with a system that's less flexible and less effective."
Locking Up Violent Offenders: Oregon Is Best
A key measure of whether prisons are being used effectively is the percentage of violent vs. nonviolent offenders they hold. A 2010 U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics study found Oregon incarcerates the highest percentage of violent offenders of the 33 states that keep such figures. Here's how Oregon compares to adjacent states and the national average:
Where the Money Is
When Gov. John Kitzhaber says he wants prison reform, what he's really saying is, he wants to cut costs.
"Our prison forecast predicts the need to build 2,300 new beds over the next decade at a cost of $600 million," Kitzhaber said in his Jan. 14 State of the State address. "Cost reduction is both needed and possible."
But the 10-year prison population forecast Kitzhaber is leaning on has a long history of overestimating growth.
"The track record is terrible," says Don Rees, chief deputy in the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office and a member of the committee that oversees the forecast.
From 1995 to 2002, for instance, the state produced 14 separate 10-year forecasts. Each significantly overstated growth. On average, the guesses were 15 percent high.
Colette Peters, whom Kitzhaber hired last year to run the Oregon Department of Corrections, tells WW, "We have an unsustainable trajectory of spending in corrections."
That is false.
Over the past decade, the state general fund increased 41 percent. The Department of Corrections budget went up 39 percent.
Peters expects an influx of 2,300 new inmates over the next decade, many of them nonviolent property-crime offenders convicted under 2008's Measure 57. But prosecutors say Measure 57 projections have been consistently high.
Figures show that Oregon's prison population has grown only 1.3 percent annually since 2005, when it effectively flatlined. As a result, Kitzhaber is calling for a reduction in the prison budget based on faulty forecasts and bad math.
If he nonetheless wants to reduce prison spending, however, he could address operating costs. That's one area where Oregon has lots of room for improvement.
Three reports in the past decade have found the state's per-prisoner spending is high.
A 2004 federal study found Oregon had the seventh-highest per-day cost in the country. A 2010 study by the American Correctional Association pegged our per-day costs at $84.46, well above the national average of $79.84 per day.
And a 2011 Legislative Fiscal Office report compared Oregon's prison-staffing costs with those in 11 other states. Again, Oregon was high.
Oregon's correctional officers with 10 years of seniority had a total compensation at roughly 119 percent of the averages of all 12 states, while beginning correctional officers received 124 percent, and registered nurses almost 130 percent, the study found.
Kitzhaber's spokesman, Tim Raphael, says reducing costs is important.
"Tackling and reducing the per-day cost of corrections has to be a priority. The commission made recommendations on this front, and the law enforcement community has emphasized this as well. But it's not the whole answer," Raphael says, adding Kitzhaber wants to target addiction, post-prison supervision and other community corrections programs to save money.
Raphael says the governor wants to invest in best practices and not just prisons. "Spending state revenue without targeting it for the best return on investment is unsustainable," he says. "Rising prison costs are squeezing out critical public investments in state police and community prevention programs we know work."
Don Loving, a spokesman for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents correctional officers, says prison jobs are enormously stressful.
"I'm not going to apologize for what our members make," Loving says. "It's a fair wage for a very challenging job."
State Rep. Chris Garrett (D-Lake Oswego), who served on Kitzhaber's public-safety commission, says the panel limited its discussion of labor costs because state labor issues are not unique to the corrections system and have been the subject of more comprehensive policy discussions.
Sen. Doug Whitsett (R-Klamath Falls), a member of the Joint Ways and Means Committee on public safety, says the failure to tackle labor costs shows the safety commission's real agenda was Measure 11.
"They are trying to drive sentencing reform by saying we've got this Armageddon on costs," Whitsett says. "I don't believe it."

I'm 3D modeler and photographer.
I got my studies in photography at the IDEP School Of Photography And Design of Barcelona (Spain), one of the most prestigious private institutions in this country and abroad (Nikon Course of Digital Photography)
For me photography is all about framing and shape, the correct angle of light and how they affect the feeling that a picture wants to express. 3D is my passion, and I like modeling more than anything else, in every aspect, even in those who usually make people want to pull their hair out!
Since I was a child I had some skills that pointed to 3D modeling. I always loved computers and programming, but was later, when I discovered 3D modeling, when all those skills, developed through life, and everything that interested me, seemed to converge into this. I always felt interested about the shape of things, how they are, how they look, how they were done, the colors, even the shape of space. Everything pointed to modeling, and through time, I discovered that my place was here.
As Emma said we started together in building 3D worlds. Then Emma built most of her artistic career and became also a vendor at Renderosity. She encouraged me to open a shop here too, and for some time we had separate shops.
We finally decided to join our shops, to be together in our common 3D passion, as we are in all facets of life, together as we started.

what do you mean exactly by you can't shut down? what are you typing/clicking and what is it supposed to do?
Well heck,I have one more prob.My new kernel does not shut down the puter on its own.It makes me do it.Not a big problem but annoying.In Login Manager- sessions,"allow to shutdown" is set to "all" but still no go.What should I look into next?
what do you mean exactly by you can't shut down? what are you typing/clicking and what is it supposed to do?
Mr. JohnQPublic you have won the chance to recompile your kernel! You can look forward to running the infamous menuconfig, make dep, and make install. You will have to go through the luxurious menus of the kernel configuration and find power managment. You will then have to recompile your kernel and enjoy all the joys that power managment will provide you in your many years to come of Linuxdom.
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.
I use KDE I'm just logging out and cicking shutdown everything unmounts, "system will be halted immediately" but that's as far as it goes.Does same thing in a terminal type "shutdown -r now".Sorry for not being clear.
Oh man your right,Aragorn.I know I didn't hit yes on APM cuz default is no.Awe %@$&%!!! this is what happens when you get in a hurry.Well I know what to do.No biggy I love kernel compiling.Thanks a bunch.
Gotta recompile your kernel sir...doesn't look as if you have apm installed....
I see you realized it as I was posting this...so I do say...g'luck to you in your recompiling...need any help, you know where to come!
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.
Yep I sure do.This will learn me to pay attention to what I'm doing. : :P
Well everyone,I got APM compiled into the 2.4.6 kernel KDE Login-sessions set to "all" and the blasted thing still does'nt shutdown on its own,not even from the console.I mean everything unmounts ok but I would like the computer to power down on its own without me hitting the power button.Have anymore ideas on this folks?
hmm.. is it shutting everything down and leaving you at a command prompt again, or just staring at the shutdown status?

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. -- Behind a final-round 72, Lipscomb head golf coach Buddy Hartson claimed his fourth Tennessee State Senior PGA championship in five years.
"I've been fortunate to win four of the last five years, " said Harston. "I won it last year, so I wanted to defend. I started working really hard on my short game about two weeks ago because they have really fast greens."
"(The win) qualifies me for the National Senior PGA Club Pro Championship in October," said Harston.

Almost all hearts swarmed up the idea. In louis vuitton purses outlet fact, almost all people know that, behind the phrase is very famous in the United States, then, should be to keep up with such a sentence: Morgan and Rockefeller, who belong to the Rothschilds.

Here's a thief that raided the catfood on our porch. We heard a noise and come to find the masked one stealing.
We're glad that the cat was not around.
We've had problems before. We used to keep the catfood on the porch in a tupperware container, but the racoons chewed the lid right off. We keep it in the house now, and try not to feed the cat too much.

Yesterday I wrote a post about my love for house music and forgot to mention my other love, dance music. House is an aspect of the electronica/dance genre, but there are so many avenues within that category. House, dance, techno, trance, drum & bass, acid, garage, dub-step, breakbeat, disco, hi NRG, hardstyle, eurodance, and so many other genres. With so many genres, new genres, and hybrid genres being formed every day, it would be impossible to write a relevant book on electronica/dance music.
I'd love to cover everything and all the genres, but I do have to sleep at some point. It would take forever to go over the history, so I'd like to continue my tradition of posting some good artists and leave you guys wanting more each week. So today I'm going to talk about the legendary international sensation Crystal Waters. If your a regular on the club scene, especially during the 90s and when they play classic club bangers, then you've heard of Crystal Waters.
I've been listening to her music since the early 90s (and I was only in elementary school) and today is the first time I made the connection that she was related to the legendary Ethel Waters. I watch a lot of old films and my mom made sure I knew the classic black films, so I've seen "Cabin in the Sky" and "Stormy Weather" plenty of times. Ethel Waters is one of the greatest black actresses, singers, and jazz musicians throughout history. It's amazing hearing her sing with Count Basie and his orchestra jamming in the background. She was another one of those great black females( including Billie Holiday) that found success in Baltimore in the early 1900's (wow that was such a long time ago!)
Crystal Waters is the grand-niece of the Grammy Hall of Fame inductee Ethel Waters, so it's no surprise that Crystal is so talented, especially coming from such great lineage. With 16 number one and Top ten singles, her international success speaks for itself. You can't talk about dance music without mentioning her classic tracks "Gypsy Woman", "100% Pure Love", and Europe's 2004 Top 10 Dance Hit "Destination Unknown", which was a collaboration with Alex Gaudino.
She has an immense collection of great songs that get your body moving and she really does deserve the title of "Legendary Dance Sensation". Crystal Waters is the embodiment of all things dance related and I'm glad she is continuing the tradition of creating great dance tracks for dance lovers worldwide! I ran across her latest song, Crystal Waters vs. Fred Pellichero "Say Yeah" and have listened to it four times in a row. It has a great sound and still has that Crystal Waters quality.
Her voice is truly unique and stands out amongst all the dance tracks in the clubs today…she is still a classic. You can't talk about club classic's without mentioning Crystal Waters, NightCrawlers, Robin S, and Inner City. Those artists set the pace for dance music and give the term "a night on the town" a reason to exist! So take that "Like a G6"! That track could never be a dance classic…definitely not in my book. "Like a G6" isn't a dance hit classic but yet another watered down pop song with a dance beat.
Check out the Official video for Crystal Waters vs. Fred Pellichero "Say Yeah". Can't believe she has been in the music game 20 years and is 46 years old…she looks greats!
She doesn't stop with her music, Crystal Waters continues to bring forth love for the dance community with her site Club Heads Radio and Club Heads TV.For more information visit her site and like her on FB.

NEWARK, NJ (WNBC) - A 39-year-old woman and her five children were forced to jump from the third floor of a burning building in Newark, New Jersey Wednesday as flames closed in around them.
The fire erupted in an apartment building with no fire escapes on South Orange Avenue shortly after midnight, officials say.
A preliminary investigation suggests the blaze happened by accident, authorities said.
Good Samaritans on the ground were able to catch the family members as they jumped.
6-year-old Taniyah Martin described feeling "scared" as she leaped.
Her 9-year-old brother Yazir said he was "afraid at first because I thought nobody was gonna catch me."
Tahonda Martin and her children, ages 6, 8, 9, 14 and 17, had moved into their apartment earlier this week and did not yet have electricity.
They were using candles while they waited for their PSE&G appointment, which had been scheduled for Wednesday, and one in the bathroom likely started the fire.
"I kept waking up, and I'm coughing and coughing, and I just woke up. And when I woke up, I saw nothing but smoke," said Tahonda Martin.
All six of the victims were treated at University Hospital and are okay.
One of the teenage daughters suffered broken toes in the fall.
Felicia Avent, who lives in the building that was on fire, described a frightening scene in which residents, including a family she says recently moved in, leaped from a window on the top floor.
"It happened so fast," Avent said. "I heard yelling, 'Help my kids, help my kids.' I grabbed my own kids. I was getting out of there."
The blaze did not appear to spread to other buildings.
Later, the family gathered back inside the apartment to see what they could still salvage.
"I just want to thank everyone that was there who helped catch my children," said Tahonda Martin.

The sixth installment of the Harry Potter series will hit theaters with no shortage of fanfare. It's not surprising that Harry has suddenly soared to the peaks of popularity in schools across the world. Not just pleasures, Harry Potters series provide important fantasy and illusions to our children.
Clinicians and theoreticians have demonstrated that children often use fantasy play to express and cope with realistic concerns and worries. Additionally, the thematic content of fantasy may also be a significant predictor of children's adaption. As an example, Harry Potters' books, movies, games and television all involve the imagination which directs and facilitates child's feeling, cognitive process and creative thinking ability. Children don't read Harry Potter merely to reach the conclusion and resolve the suspense, and they also delight in identifying with "good" wizards in this mystical world.
"Good stories capture the heart, mind, and imagination and are an important way to transmit values"( Louise Derman-Sparks, 1989) . On the other hand, some people worry that the discernibly polarized depiction of good and evil in this popular story could cultivate a perception in children that the real world is similarly organized. They question whether the dichotomized view of good and evil presented in such fantasy story are in fact stereotypes that far from enlarging children's construction of individuals, groups and movements within broader human society.

In this era of political correctness it really bothers us that there are activists attacking everything that the U.S.A. stands for.
Our forefathers founded this country under God and freedom of speech. Now because of this political correctness you can't even wish or say Merry Christmas or say the pledge of allegiance to our flag and country in our class rooms any more. We now are taking under God off of all our money and taking the cross off of the highways where loved ones have met their fate.
What kind of message are we sending to our children and the rest of the world by removing these sacred emblems from our public view? This type of activity destroys our youths moral characteristics and values and ours. What about our rights and freedom of speech?
Are we going to stand by and let these people destroy what our country was founded on? Stand up and speak out, write letters and tell them all to stop destroying what our country stands for. We have the right to live with freedom of speech and we need to defend what our forefathers put into place.
It is very sad when they attack the symbol of respect for our country, fallen soldiers, peace officers that have given their lives for us, yes, for all of us. To defend our country which was founded under GOD.
Saying Happy Holiday instead of Merry Christmas, Christ is the reason we celebrate this time of year; it has been that way for thousands and thousands of years.
God bless you all.

Infield prospect Schoop gains wisdom in AFL
By Jim Gintonio / Special to MLB.com | 11/08/12 11:45 AM ET
MESA, Ariz. -- Scouts are everywhere.
Jonathan Schoop figures some were watching him in 2004 when he helped Curacao win the Little League World Series -- and those who did probably are not too surprised he has evolved into the No. 3 prospect for the Orioles.
Schoop, who can play third base or shortstop, turned 21 in October. He was not drafted but signed with Baltimore four years ago. His progress has been marked with improvement at every stop, and he said he likes having a tag as a top prospect.
"It feels good, because I've come a long way, and to be honored like that gives you more incentive to work hard and to achieve goals," Schoop said. "When you achieve, don't stop. Keep going."
Schoop is having a solid Arizona Fall League season with the Mesa Solar Sox and played in the Rising Stars Game. He was hitting .288 at the outset of Week 5, with two home runs, nine RBIs and two stolen bases, including a theft of home.
Schoop, whose brother Sharlon has played seven seasons in the Minor Leagues and is in the Royals' organization, says he has a lot more to learn and he's willing to take whatever time is needed to further prepare himself.
"I've got to work on everything, step my game up offensively, defensively, baserunning, get more speed on the bases, too," Schoop said.
"You want to improve everything. You don't want to stay in the same position. You want to become a better baseball player."
Solar Sox manager Rodney Linares looks at him as a kid with unlimited potential.
"Schoop is one of those high-ceiling guys," said Linares. "He's really young, and you can tell at times, but ability-wise he's up there. He's got good soft hands; big, strong kid. He's driving the ball, the ball jumps off his bat. I really like Schoop."
Schoop's talent in the field would seem to bolster his chances of being kept at shortstop, but Linares sees him as more of a third baseman because of his power at the plate.
"He's got a good, strong arm, and again, he's so young, but at the same time, he's so mature as a ballplayer," Linares said. "He only needs at-bats and repetition in the Minor Leagues, and he'll eventually get to the big leagues in the next year or so."
Making adjustments is something Schoop thrives on and something he had to do at Double-A Bowie in 2012 after three seasons in Rookie and Class A ball.
"Baseball is making adjustments," he said. "If you can make adjustments, you're going to be good in baseball. Then I sit down and think about my approach and make adjustments, and you get better."
Schoop admits as a younger player he sometimes didn't heed advice in that area.
"They tried to teach me long time ago, but when you're young, you don't get it," he said. "Now I'm a little bit older and I get it on what making adjustments means.
"Before, they were teaching me the same thing, but now I'm thinking. When I was kid, I didn't know how to make [adjustments], because I wanted to step in there and just swing, but now I get it, and I understand it."

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
The Southeastern Utah District Health Department is hoping to combine getting a vaccination while helping others out at the same time.
The week of Dec. 5 - 11 is National Influenza Vaccination Week and the health department is offering a deal for those who need a flu shot by giving them out for free, no questions asked. All they ask in return is for each person to bring in two cans of food, which goes toward helping fill the local food banks in time for the holidays. A flu shot normally costs around $23 - $25 but for this week only two cans of food will be sufficient payment.
SEUDHD will be offering flu shots Monday through Thursday at their office in Price, 28 S. 100 E., from 3 - 5:30 p.m.
Helping people get their vaccinations and helping out the local food banks at the same time was an idea put together by Terrie Wright, public information officer with SEUDHD.
"We want to help get as many people vaccinated who need it and help fill the food bank at the same time," said Wright.
The flu season typically lasts during the winter season and goes through May or early June, Wright said. The vaccine is available to anyone, including children over the age of six months. School age and college age people are an important age group that Wright said sometimes puts off getting the shot for various reasons. For those who are afraid of getting a shot, there is a nasal spray available.
"We are hoping to stress the importance to everyone about getting the vaccination," said Wright. "With this idea, we thought we'd try it out and see how successful it can be."
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention requests that people get a flu shot as soon as the vaccinations become available. The counties within the southeastern Utah health district have been inundated with the flu vaccines, hence Wright's idea of providing flu shots without a monetary payment.
"We're hoping for the best," said Wright. "We think it's a good creative way to help out people and the communities."
