An environmental preservation group has renewed its motion to halt construction of community connector snowmobile trails in the Adirondack Park while a lawsuit is pending in the matter.
Protect the Adirondacks filed state Supreme Court action in February in Albany County against the Adirondack Park Agency and the state Department of Environmental Conservation claiming, among other things, that the trails violate a clause of the state Constitution mandating that the forest preserve remain forever wild.
The suit also claims the state land master plan and DEC regulations are violated by the use of large groomers on trails.
On Aug. 22, Judge George B. Ceresia Jr. denied Protects motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to stop new class II community connector trail construction during the pendency of the litigation. The judge also denied APAs and DECs motion to have the matter dismissed in its entirety.
Judge Ceresia ruled that Protects motion was untimely, as most of the trail work that Protect was citing in its suit, including the removal of thousands of trees, already had been completed. He said that while APA and DEC proposed the construction of additional trails at some point in the future, he did not view any additional construction or removal of trees as imminent. In denying the motion, he gave Protect a chance to renew its motion if there is a change in circumstances.
In its new motion for a preliminary injunction, Protect claims circumstances have changed, as DEC has announced its intention to construct the Catamount Snowmobile Trail in the Taylor Pond Wild Forest Area in Clinton County. Protect claims that DEC actually published notice of the planned construction in July, before Judge Ceresia made his ruling denying the injunction, and that DEC failed to present the information to the court. Protect claims that construction of the trail is not only imminent, it has begun.
Protect contends that 133 trees will be cut for the trail and that there about 150 more trees planned for cutting to complete three other community connector trails Seventh Lake Mountain, Wilmington and Gilmantown bringing the total number of trees cut down for the trails to more than 2,600. The group claims that if APA and DEC are allowed to proceed in this piecemeal fashion, more trees will be cut, presenting imminent, irreparable harm to the forest preserve, necessitating an injunction ordering the work stopped.
Peter D. Bauer, executive director of Protect, said the lawsuit is not about stopping snowmobiling from taking place in the preserve, but is meant to prevent excessive widening of trials that are shared with hikers and mountain bikers when the snow is gone and are designed for slower speeds than roads where snowmobiling is allowed.
This is really focusing on the trails, to prevent them from becoming roads, which is what we see happening, Mr. Bauer said. The concern is, you get a new road in the forest preserve in an area that used to be a trail. The trail system is supposed to be a different kind of experience.
Mr. Bauer said the lawsuit does not focus on trail systems in St. Lawrence, Lewis or Franklin counties as trails in these counties operate predominantly under conservation easements that do not contain the same restrictions as in other parts of the preserve.
Protect said in a prepared statement that lawyers for both sides are developing a schedule to complete the case. When that is done, APA and DEC will submit a formal response to Protects initial pleadings and Protect will conduct discovery on the constitutional part of the lawsuit. Final papers will be prepared and submitted by 2014, Protect said.

There are few figures in American collegiate archery better known than Columbia head coach Derek Davis. After joining Columbia Athletics in August of 2006, Davis has lifted his profile, and those of his student-athletes, to the highest levels every year.
Each year under his tutelage the program has reached new heights. The 2009 squad set a number of program records – the season saw a record number of Columbia archers earn All-East, All-Academic, and All-American honors. During his six years at Columbia, 28 of his student-athletes have earned All-East recognition to go along with an impressive 23 All-Americans. In 2009, he coached the Lions to two team medals and three individual winners at the National Championships. The recurve team won silver while the compound team took home bronze, the first time ever the compound team has medaled at the National Championships. Columbia also swept the Indoor National East Regional, marking the first time the Lions' compound team has won gold.
Davis has seen much success in the archery world outside of Morningside Heights. In January 2008, he was elected to the Board of Directors of USA Archery in a nationwide vote. That following May, he brought the Columbia team to the U.S. Intercollegiate Archery Championships, where it regained the Women's Recurve national title that it had previously held in 2005. And in July, Davis served as Team Leader of the United States in the World University Archery Championships in Tainan, Chinese Taipei.
The latter was his second major international archery event. In June 2007, he was chosen as one of two coaches for a USA College Archery team in the 25th Battle of Carabobo, a world-ranking event in Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela.
Davis' first team, the 2004-05 squad, won the U.S. Intercollegiate championship in Women's Recurve, Columbia's first national title. His 2006-07 team went all the way to the Recurve championship match before losing to Stanford by just four points. He has produced a number of All-American and All-East honorees, as well as a host of USA Archery All-Academic team members. One of his archers, Nasreen Bakht, was awarded the Golden Arrow at the 2005 U.S. Intercollegiate Championships.
Davis came to Columbia in the fall of 2003 as an assistant to his long-time friend and fellow archer, Larry Brown. When Brown left in 2004, Davis was named to succeed him.
A native of Sherman, Texas, Davis began shooting in a physical education class in college. He has been active in the sport for more than 15 years, and is a member of both the National Archery Association and the National Alliance for the Development of Archery (NADA).
In 2006, Davis was named a Regional High Performance Coach, under the auspices of USA Archery's High Performance Plan, and underwent intense training with Kisik Lee, USA Archery's National Head Coach.
Davis studied communications and music at Hunter, and has been involved in jazz and pop music production. He is a freelance computer repair technician, specializing in Apple computers.
Davis lives in Far Rockaway, Queens. He has one son, Derek M. Davis II, also a competitive archer.

Comments about La Sportiva Quantum Trail Running Shoe (Men's):
I decided to try a pair of these out rather than sticking with my usual shoes, the Saucony Peregrine. Ive been disappointed with the upper durability of the Peregrines and the Quantums seemed much more substantial. The unique rubber and tread design on the Quantum makes them great on most surfaces. They shed snow and mud very well. They stick to wet rocks better than lugged shoes (like the Peregrine) will. In hard packed cold snow, lugs may do you better. In wet clay, nothing will help you :) The orientation of the "waves" in the tread mean great traction down hill and toeing off, but poor traction side to side and rounding corners. The somewhat rounded edges and higher sole make the shoe feel a little less stable, although I haven't rolled an ankle yet. The shoes is low volume and narrow compared to my other shoes (Peregrine on trails, New Balance Road Minimus and FiveFinger Bikila LS on roads). After about 25 miles I cant stand wearing these shoes any further. For shorter runs on steep terrain I'd recommend these. The outer rubber on the sole is deceptively thin. 75 miles on pavement will start putting holes in them.

Comments about La Sportiva Quantum Trail Running Shoe (Men's):
I have running technical trails for a long time, and no other shoes have provided me with the confidence of running without worrying that much about my footing than the LS Quantum. These shoes are truly amazing, particularly on running downhills! I would prefer them a little lighter, maybe LS is adding too much protection on the top? Also, I ordered these half size above my regular size and that just did the trick.

Exelon Nuclear's internship program gave college students some "real world" work experience this summer that will enhance their chances of finding jobs after graduation.
Clinton, IL - Exelon Nuclear's internship program gave college students some "real world" work experience this summer that will enhance their chances of finding jobs after graduation. Nationwide, the company hired 121 summer interns at its 13 facilities, including eight at Clinton Station in Clinton, IL.
"Our internship program represents a win-win situation for the company and the students," said Amanda Poland human resources manager. "Those completing Exelon Nuclear internships are more likely to return as permanent employees after earning their degrees." Poland noted that 26 of the 43 new graduates Exelon Nuclear hired so far this year are former interns.
"In addition to benefitting the students, the internship program helps the company," Poland said. "Our interns bring enthusiasm, new perspectives and creative ideas to the business. The program also serves as a pipeline for new employees."
"This internship has been a wonderful experience. I have met a lot of really great people here while learning a lot of things my professors never taught me," said Brooke McClure, a reactor engineering senior at the University of Illinois and a summer intern at Clinton Power Station. "This peek into the 'real world' has gotten me excited for my future in the nuclear workforce."
Exelon Nuclear offers two types of internships. Engineering internships are provided for students pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees in various engineering fields, physics or health physics. Technical internships are offered for students enrolled in a two-year technical program at one of several community colleges or specialized trade schools partnering with Exelon Nuclear. Both types of internships emphasize academic learning, career development, skill building and personal growth.
The internship program continues to flourish thanks to strong support at all levels of the company, from the site vice presidents through the Exelon Corp. senior leadership team.
Interns at Exelon Nuclear sites this summer received hands-on experience in a variety of areas, including engineering, nuclear operations, chemistry, health physics and business administration, depending on their career aspirations. Upon completion of their summer internships, each student recapped his or her summer experience during presentations to the station and company senior leadership teams.

|Pioneers Gear Up For NW3A/4A Opener
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Wednesday, 09 March 2011 20:39
The Watauga High baseball team has taken on all comers this season.And so far, the returns have been pretty impressive. The Pioneers are 3-1, with their only loss coming against Ardrey Kell, the No.1 team in the state in Class 4A, last Saturday. WHS spotted the Knights a 7-0 lead before they came charging back only to lose, 9-8.
"And we had the tying and go-ahead runs on base with two outs, but we couldn't bring them home," said WHS coach Pete Hardee. "This team has an extra gear. They love playing baseball, and they love playing against the best."
And they must also love playing on the road. WHS won't play its first home game when A.C.Reynolds comes to town on Saturday, March 19.
But the biggest test of all comes Friday night, when the Pioneers travel to Sawmills, NC, to play south Caldwell in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference opener. The Spartans, who were 22-5 last season, are currently 3-0 and they demolished St. Stephens 16-3 in six innings in their league opener Tuesday night. The Spartans errupted for nine runs in the top of the sixth to break the game open.
"And it's up to us to beat South caldwell," Hardee said. "I really don't believe anyone in our league will be them this season. So, it's up to us. If we want to win the conference, we have top go through them."
The Pioneers have bested South Caldwell the last two years for the conference title. But the Spartans have had the last laugh. They beat the Pioneers for the final Northwestern 4A Conference Tournament title in 2009, and the Pioneers faltered with a subpar effort against Hickory in the semifinals last season. The Spartans went on to defend their tournament championship by beating the Red Tornadoes in the finals. The Spartans have won six consecutive tournament championships, dating back to 2005.
But Hardee feels this year's team could be a special group. The Pioneers haven't had a deep run in the state playoffs since 2008 (ironically, the Pioneers were bested by South Caldwell in the conference finals that year as well), when they lost to North Davidson in the sectional finals. Before that, the last time the Pioneers had a deep run in the state playoffs was in 2000, when they lost to Richmond County 2-1 in nine innings with Jacob Chaney on the mound in the sectional finals.
And like those teams in 2000 and 2008, the Pioneers are blessed with a good pitching staff. "It's the deepest we've been on the mound in a while," Hardee said. "We have a lot of arms this season, and they want the ball. It's an aggressive group. They want to pitch in the big games, and they like attacking the hitters."
Righthander Dylan Norris, the NW3A/4A Conference Pitcher of the Year last season, gets the starting nod against South Caldwell Friday night. And Norris, who has been battling some shoulder issues this season, is coming off a great effort against Ardrey Kell last Saturday.
The senior threw 3 1/3 scoreless innings in relief, allowed one hit and struck out five.
He's also 1-0 lifetime against South Caldwell. He beat the Spartans in relief last season, when the Pioneers rallied late to beat South Caldwell in extra innings. That win also ignited Watauga's run to the conference title.
"And that was impressive to watch," Hardee said. "We've taken it slow with Dylan because of his shoulder issues. But he really wanted the ball on Saturday. He wanted to pitch against Ardrey Kell, and he did a great job keeping us in the game. He was the pitcher of the year in the league last year, and he really wants to go up against these (Spartans). "
And Jake Watts followed that up with an impressive effort Tuesday night in a 6-3 win against Mount Tabor. The righthander, who was touched up for six earned runs in a little more than an inning of work last Saturday against Ardrey Kell, responded with three strong innings against the Spartans. He gave up one run, which was unearned and he struck out five to pick up his second win of the year.
"We were only going to go two innings with him," Hardee said. "But he wanted to pitch the seventh and finish it off. As a former pitcher, I really like that. These guys want the ball, and they want to win."
South caldwell, led by Jeff Parham, has seven returning starters. The Spartans also have a solid group of JV players on the team this season. That group went undefeated last year, and they also had a deep run in the Junior Legion baseball playoffs.
Junior Spencer Greer, a righthander, is their top pitcher, and one of the toughest in the area. Seniors Jacob Hatton and Travis Cook (who is 1-0 against the Pioneers) round out the pitching staff. Blake Johnson, who has signed with Lenior-Rhyne University, first baseman David Evans and sophomore third baseman Gage Parham are their best positional players. The Spartans can score runs and as always, they're very strong fundamentally.
"It's always a great game and a great challenge to play South Caldwell every year, especially at their place," Hardee said. "We always go hard against each other. It's a big game for both of us. And with the schedule we've played so far, I'm confident about Friday night."
Our coverage from Sawmills begins at 6 pm Friday night on Oldies 100.7 FM.

Rangers @ Wild
Xcel Energy Center, 8:00 p.m. tonight
Rangers record: 10-9-1
Wild record: 10-6-2
That impressive three-game win streak is now ancient history
as the Rangers have lost two in a row and were beaten badly by the Colorado Avalanche
last night. The good thing about such a
jam-packed schedule is that the Blueshirts will have a chance to make everyone
forget their abysmal effort last night with a win over the Minnesota Wild
The Wild, picked by many to be cellar dwellers in the
Western Conference, are off to a surprising start this season. They've won three in a row including two consecutive
overtime victories over Anaheim and Detroit. The Wild have been boosted by perhaps the
best special teams in the league thus far, they're ranked first on the power
play which is scoring at a 27.8% clip and ninth on the penalty kill. The Wild are third in goals against overall
on the shoulders of yet another strong season from Niklas Backstrom, who'll get
the start tonight. Cal Clutterbuck,
though more known for his physicality, leads the team in goals with seven and
is followed by Brent Burns with six and Antti Miettinen with five. Though the Wild don't have a true superstar
on offense, they are a hard working bunch and have impressive depth. Mikko Koivu, Martin Havlat and Matt Cullen
are all experienced and good playmakers. The Wild's reputation over the last decade has been a hard-nosed group
that plays tight defense and never makes things easy for the opponent. That appears to be true again in 2010. There's nothing flashy about the defense
either; Burns, Marek Zidlicky, Nick Schultz, Cam Barker and the rest aren't
household names, and aren't likely All-Star candidates, but they're a mobile
bunch. Still, as successful as the Wild
have been this season, they're only 27th in the league in goals
scored, so if Henrik Lundqvist plays well tonight this should be a low scoring
For the Rangers, this game is about the return of Marian
Gaborik (who missed last year's bout with the Wild due to injury) and Derek
Boogaard to Minnesota. This is sure to be an emotional night for
Gaborik, but it's a good bet that he'll respond with a monster effort. Last night's match with the Avalanche was
forgettable on all counts, and the Rangers would be best served to quickly put
it behind them and get back to the play that won them three in a row and almost
a fourth if Tim Thomas didn't steal the game Wednesday night. To beat the Wild the Rangers must play
smart. Obviously, taking a penalty
against the Wild is the kiss of death. The team can't score at even strength, but give them a man advantage and
the puck will be in the back of your net. So while the Rangers need to be smart about taking penalties every game,
tonight they need to be extra careful. Because if they stay out of the box, there's a very good chance Gaborik
puts one home tonight and the Rangers could be looking at a 1-0 or 2-1
win. Of course, that means the Rangers
will need a much better effort from Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers'
defense. It's hard to say that any of
the goals against Hank last night were all his fault, but at the top of his
game he probably stops two of them. We're nearing the time of year when Lundqvist has traditionally entered
a bit of a slump. It's too early to tell
if that's happening, but there have been a few questionable goals against him
lately. You'd have to think Lundqvist,
who is notoriously hard on himself, is very frustrated with how things have
gone lately for him. Since the team has
been doing well, it hasn't become a major issue yet, but to stop questions from
being raised Lundqvist needs to put a couple strong games together. The Wild would appear to be a good candidate
for a bounce back effort with their weak even strength offense, but it's up to Lundqvist
to make key saves.
The recipe for this one is simple: stay out of the box, let
Gaborik remind Minnesota
who he is, and Lundqvist has to play well. If the Rangers do those things they should return to the win

By Kevin R. Betts
For several years, I worked at a psychiatric hospital as a mental health technician. For the most part, I found this job to be very fulfilling. Watching patients who arrived in disarray leave feeling content left me feeling that what I was doing was worthwhile, and the occasional thank you card or call from a previous patient didn't hurt either. However, there were certainly challenges inherent to this job. One such challenge concerned how best to react to patients who became angry or aggressive. When confronted by such a patient, a common response among the staff was to corral other staff members in an attempt to intimidate the patient into submission. In contrast to staff expectations, however, these attempts were often met by the patient with obstinance, and they sometimes even appeared to encourage further aggressive behaviors.
The media has recently given increased attention to violence in U.S. hospitals like that captured in my account above. Events such as the recent shooting at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, as well as a recent Joint Commission report about increasing rates of violence in hospital emergency rooms, has earned the attention of health care workers and the general public alike. Unfortunately, one thing that can be gathered from these reports and my account above is that most hospital staff members receive only limited training in how to respond to angry or aggressive patients.
Research on the interindividual-intergroup discontinuity informs us that corralling other staff members to confront an angry patient who is alone, as often occurred at my workplace, will likely be ineffective in reducing that patient's anger or aggression. The interindividual-intergroup discontinuity suggests that interactions between groups, or between groups and individuals, will be more competitive and aggressive than interactions between individuals alone (Meier, Hinsz, & Heimerdinger, 2007). There are three mechanisms that are believed to be responsible for this effect. One mechanism suggests that we fear and distrust other groups more than other individuals. A second mechanism suggests that group members can provide social support for antisocial actions, whereas individuals cannot. The third mechanism concerns identifiability, meaning that our (antisocial) actions are more identifiable when we act alone than when we act in a group. What is the implication of this research for health care workers? When it can be safely done, angry or aggressive patients should be confronted one-on-one.

Courtney just put the DD in Stodden.
The 18-year-old teen bride went under the knife to surgically enhance her chest -- getting her natural C cup breasts replaced with DDs.
While she looked top-heavy to begin with, a rep for Stodden tells toofab she was using a Victoria's Secret bra in the past and it "wasn't cutting it anymore."
The rep adds that Courtney's mom and her 53-year-old husband Doug Hutchison weren't initially thrilled about her implants -- but now Doug thinks they "look great."
Of course he does.
See what Stodden says about her new pair -- plus, see her document her trip to the surgeon in the video below:
FYI: That's the after photo on the right above, just one day after surgery.
As for more cosmetic work -- we're told Courtney doesn't plan on getting anymore done. Believe her?

21 U.S. Code § 360kk - Performance standards for electronic products
(a) Promulgation of regulations
(1) The Secretary shall by regulation prescribe performance standards for electronic products to control the emission of electronic product radiation from such products if he determines that such standards are necessary for the protection of the public health and safety. Such standards may include provisions for the testing of such products and the measurement of their electronic product radiation emissions, may require the attachment of warning signs and labels, and may require the provision of instructions for the installation, operation, and use of such products. Such standards may be prescribed from time to time whenever such determinations are made, but the first of such standards shall be prescribed prior to January 1, 1970. In the development of such standards, the Secretary shall consult with Federal and State departments and agencies having related responsibilities or interests and with appropriate professional organizations and interested persons, including representatives of industries and labor organizations which would be affected by such standards, and shall give consideration to—
(B) the standards currently recommended by
(i) other Federal agencies having responsibilities relating to the control and measurement of electronic product radiation, and
(C) the reasonableness and technical feasibility of such standards as applied to a particular electronic product;
(D) the adaptability of such standards to the need for uniformity and reliability of testing and measuring procedures and equipment; and
(E) in the case of a component, or accessory described in paragraph (2)(B) of section 360hh of this title, the performance of such article in the manufactured or assembled product for which it is designed.
(2) The Secretary may prescribe different and individual performance standards, to the extent appropriate and feasible, for different electronic products so as to recognize their different operating characteristics and uses.
(3) The performance standards prescribed under this section shall not apply to any electronic product which is intended solely for export if
(A) such product and the outside of any shipping container used in the export of such product are labeled or tagged to show that such product is intended for export, and
(B) such product meets all the applicable requirements of the country to which such product is intended for export.
(4) The Secretary may by regulation amend or revoke any performance standard prescribed under this section.
(5) The Secretary may exempt from the provisions of this section any electronic product intended for use by departments or agencies of the United States provided such department or agency has prescribed procurement specifications governing emissions of electronic product radiation and provided further that such product is of a type used solely or predominantly by departments or agencies of the United States.
(b) Administrative procedure
(c) Publication in Federal Register
Each regulation prescribing, amending, or revoking a standard shall specify the date on which it shall take effect which, in the case of any regulation prescribing, or amending any standard, may not be sooner than one year or not later than two years after the date on which such regulation is issued, unless the Secretary finds, for good cause shown, that an earlier or later effective date is in the public interest and publishes in the Federal Register his reason for such finding, in which case such earlier or later date shall apply.
(d) Judicial review
(1) In a case of actual controversy as to the validity of any regulation issued under this section prescribing, amending, or revoking a performance standard, any person who will be adversely affected by such regulation when it is effective may at any time prior to the sixtieth day after such regulation is issued file a petition with the United States court of appeals for the circuit wherein such person resides or has his principal place of business, for a judicial review of such regulation. A copy of the petition shall be forthwith transmitted by the clerk of the court to the Secretary or other officer designated by him for that purpose. The Secretary thereupon shall file in the court the record of the proceedings on which the Secretary based the regulation, as provided in section 2112 of title 28.
(2) If the petitioner applies to the court for leave to adduce additional evidence, and shows to the satisfaction of the court that such additional evidence is material and that there were reasonable grounds for the failure to adduce such evidence in the proceeding before the Secretary, the court may order such additional evidence (and evidence in rebuttal thereof) to be taken before the Secretary, and to be adduced upon the hearing, in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as to the court may seem proper. The Secretary may modify his findings, or make new findings, by reason of the additional evidence so taken, and he shall file such modified or new findings, and his recommendations, if any, for the modification or setting aside of his original regulation, with the return of such additional evidence.
(3) Upon the filing of the petition referred to in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the court shall have jurisdiction to review the regulation in accordance with chapter 7 of title 5 and to grant appropriate relief as provided in such chapter.
(4) The judgment of the court affirming or setting aside, in whole or in part, any such regulation of the Secretary shall be final, subject to review by the Supreme Court of the United States upon certiorari or certification as provided in section 1254 of title 28.
(5) Any action instituted under this subsection shall survive, notwithstanding any change in the person occupying the office of Secretary or any vacancy in such office.
(e) Availability of record
A certified copy of the transcript of the record and administrative proceedings under this section shall be furnished by the Secretary to any interested party at his request, and payment of the costs thereof, and shall be admissible in any criminal, exclusion of imports, or other proceeding arising under or in respect of this part irrespective of whether proceedings with respect to the regulation have previously been initiated or become final under this section.
(f) Technical Electronic Product Radiation Safety Standards Committee
(A) The Secretary shall establish a Technical Electronic Product Radiation Safety Standards Committee (hereafter in this part referred to as the "Committee") which he shall consult before prescribing any standard under this section. The Committee shall be appointed by the Secretary, after consultation with public and private agencies concerned with the technical aspect of electronic product radiation safety, and shall be composed of fifteen members each of whom shall be technically qualified by training and experience in one or more fields of science or engineering applicable to electronic product radiation safety, as follows:
(i) Five members shall be selected from governmental agencies, including State and Federal Governments;
(ii) Five members shall be selected from the affected industries after consultation with industry representatives; and
(2) Payments to members of the Committee who are not officers or employees of the United States pursuant to subsection (c) ofsection 210 of title 42 shall not render members of the Committee officers or employees of the United States for any purpose.

SPANISH FORK - Our loving husband, father, son, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend, Randy Anderson, age 42, passed away in an automobile accident on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2010 in Willard.
He was born June 6, 1968 in Price to Eddie and Margit Anderson. Randy married Diane Sillitoe on April 9, 1994 in Helper. He served in the Army and the Utah National Guard. He received a bachelor's degree in Political Science from SUU in 1993.
He worked a variety of jobs in his short life, but the occupation he loved most was being "Mr. Mom". There wasn't a Friday or Saturday morning that he wasn't out at yard sales looking for treasures. He had an eye for finding items that looked like junk to most, but would sell for a great deal on Ebay. Sundays you would find him cheering on the Denver Broncos. He enjoyed working in his yard and remodeling his homes in Spanish Fork and Malad, Idaho.
He is survived by his wife Diane, children Collin (15), Cortney (13), Cloe (11) of Spanish Fork, his father and mother of Mt. Carmel, Illinois, his sister Lisa (Robert) Kroleski of Lacey, Wash., a niece, a nephew, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He will be dearly missed by all.
He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Fern and Merlin Anderson, maternal grandparents, and uncles Kent "Bucky" Anderson and Frank Schreinect.
Graveside services will be held on Friday Oct. 29 at 1 pm at the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.

AKRON, Ohio -- It was exactly 13 years ago, on Jan. 31, 2000, when two friends from Akron were stabbed to death outside a nightclub in Atlanta.
"We are talking about a family member here. This was just somebody who was on the street," Greg Wilson told CNN.
Wilson is the uncle of Jacinth Baker. Baker and his friend, Richard Lollar, were stabbed to death, at a club party after the 2000 Superbowl.
Baltimore Ravens Linebacker Ray Lewis and two others were originally charged in the murders.
Four months later, Lewis pleaded guilty to a much lesser charge: Obstruction of justice.
A jury also decided the other two men killed Baker and Lollar in self defense.
Year after year, the victims' relatives kept the story alive in local news.
Lollar's family protested outside Cleveland Browns Stadium every time Lewis and the Ravens came to town, in the hope that he'd speak with them about what happened that night.
"I want my nephew's name to live on. They keep talking about the Ray Lewis story. This is not the Ray Lewis story, this is the Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker story," Cindy Lollar-Owens, Lollar's aunt, told Channel 3 in a 2000 interview.
As Ray Lewis heads into his last game before retiring from a storied career, the superstar football player told reporters he wasn't going to talk about that part of his past.
"If you take a 13-year break, as hard as it is for them, as hard as it is to talk about the things you want me to talk about, I don't believe honestly this is the appropriate time," Lewis said.
The families of Baker and Lollar are still waiting for that time.
"You got all this attention glorifying him. And he was involved in what happened down in Atlanta, but people don't seem to care. They are more interested in football," said Wilson.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our The Original Chiclets Gum (Box of 20 Packs) …
"I had a doctor tell me that Aspartame found in diet sodas and most gums may be the cause of my headaches. I found out Chiclets is the only gum with out artificial sweeteners! This is the only place I can find it!!" - Teri, Cedar Rapids, IA
"Back in early 1965, my Dad developed a terrible cough and he was a three-pack-a-day smoker. His son, my brother, was graduating from college in My. He was so proud of him since he was the first person in our family to become a college graduate. That cough scared him enough to quit smoking, cold turkey! However, he still had the urge to smoke. He always kept a package of Peppermint Chiclets in his shirt pocket and "popped a Chiclet" whenever he felt the need for a cigarette. It worked! He saw his son graduate and he lived 25 more years." - Dorothea Cassady, Fitchburg, MA

The "Polarized Mind" is killing us - here's what to do about it
What do a school shooter, a corporate swindler, and a bullheaded ideologue have in common? They all converge on what Dr. Kirk Schneider terms "the polarized mind" – a fixation on one point of view to the exclusion of all others.
Since receiving his PhD from Saybrook University, Dr. Schneider has become one of the leading new voices in existential psychology, and his newest book is a diagnosis and history of "the polarized mind," observing the damage it has done and showing us the steps we urgently need to take to address the danger it presents to our own society. Combining contemporary insights with centuries of cross-cultural, awe-inspired wisdom, Schneider offers solutions to this worldwide problem.
Now available, "The Polarized Mind: Why It's Killing Us and What We Can Do About It" is published by University Professors Press and available at Amazon and Barns and Noble.
"My hope is that the book will play some small part in addressing the polarization menace we see all about us today in politics, religion, and our own personal lives from a fresh point of view," Schneider says.. "We need to augment the national conversation on polarization, which deals mostly with extremist symptoms and behaviors, with a discussion of the existential anxieties that underlie and inform those symptoms and behaviors--and this is what my book brings to the table."
The official release party for the book will be held at Saybrook University on May 22. For more information, visit: http://www.saybrook.edu/essentials/events/12-31-12-5
A good thing is going to come from the awareness this author's p.o.v. brings to a world that customarily disregards facts that don't fit into the narrow meanline of traditional logic. Bringing the information to the public about how polar minds work against costructive living may erupt into some strong conflict at the present time, but the payoff for the future may be the avoidance of an all-out war.Posted by Anonymous (not verified) | 06/16/2013 @ 01:21 PM

In this warm and sentimental volume, S. M. Tenenbaum remembers that Shabbos table and the stories that gave it so much flavor and spirit. Her memories will become our memories; her inspiration our inspiration; her world our world. These stories are not meant to be history -- they never were. They are expressions of a mood, of a picture of Jewish life that is timeless and beautiful and elevating.
The author s father painted word pictures that she captures, colors, and frames -- and then presents to us to read, savor, enjoy, and cherish in our hearts and minds. There is a touching Yiddish folk song that urges us to save a traditional old fur hat and the way of life it symbolizes, and say, This is how an ehrlicher Yid used to look. That is what this precious book does for us. It lets us put away memories of an ehrlicher Yid, and pull them out whenever life seems sterile and discouraging.
S. M. Tenenbaum s father s stories will become our stories -- the stories we tell our children (and read for our own personal pleasure).

This 4th edition of the "Enduro des Hautes Vosges" was epic : 2 days of racing in terrible weather conditions with rain, mud and cold temperatures! But it was a really good challenge to reach the 8 stages during these 2 days of race.
On Saturday, I started with the number plate 4 and I was in good position to see my 2 main competitors : Nicolas Lau and François Bailly-Maitre. We had to climb by bike the 4 stages which made the competition physical. At the end of the day I finished 1st in front of Nicolas Lau with an advantage of 15 secondes.
On Sunday morning, I started 1st so I had to be strong to keep my ranking. The stages were harder and harder because of the mud, but I succeed to confirm my place.
After this demanding week-end, I finish 1st and I was happy to be part of my friend Rémy Absalon's race. Congrats to my teammate Ben Cruz who finishes 4th Thanks to the good organisation of IRWEGO and all the volunteers who had help during this rainy week-end.

The European Commission participates in European tourism fairs to support the tourism industry Gepubliceerd op: 26/02/2013, Laatste bijwerking: 11/03/2013
The European Commission participated in the "Feria Internacional de Turismo" (FITUR) in Madrid in February 2013. This year the event hosted the presentation of "Destination Europe 2020", an initiative of the European Travel Commission, organised in close cooperation with the European Commission.
The event counted also with the participation of the Spanish Tourism Organisation (TURESPAÑA) and the United Nations World Tourism Organisation.
Mr Pedro Ortún, Director in DG Enterprise and Industry, recalled the importance of all partners, including the European tourism industry, to cooperate closely in the promotion of Europe as a tourism destination in long-haul markets. He also underlined that policy measures are also necessary to facilitate traveling to Europe.
"Destination Europe 2020" is an 18 month programme of activities to be carried out by the European Travel Commission with the support of the European Commission. It aims at defining a long-term strategy for Europe, as a tourism destination.
The 33rd Borsa Internazionale del Turismo" (BIT), the most important tourism fair in Italy, took place on 14-17 February in Milan.
Vice President Antonio Tajani intervened by reaffirming that tourism is at the center of the industrial policy and recovery for Europe . By giving it the importance it deserves and working actively to strengthen it, tourism can become the Catalyst for the 3rd industrial revolution.
The Vice-President defined some priorities to increase the competitiveness of European Tourism: simplifying and modernising the issuing of visas , elaborating strategies to offset seasonality in tourism, encouraging the tourism of seniors and promoting better coordination of European quality labels for tourism services.
On the opening day, the Italian Minister for Tourism Piero Gnudi unveiled the national Strategy 2020 for Tourism.
On the same day. UNWTO Secretary General Taleb Rifai opened the Conference on Ethics and Accessibility, organized by the Permanent Secretariat of the World Committee on Tourism Ethics , to raise awareness about the untapped business potential of accessibility in the tourism sector.
The European Commission was also present at the fair with its stand "ARE YOU READY FOR EUROPE"?

Michael St. Croix Season Preview
Mike S.
In the 2011 NHL draft, the New York Rangers had six selections that year and aside from their 1st round selection of J.T Miller, the Rangers draft received a B- grade by many hockey analysts. One prospect who was particularly overlooked during the 2011 NHL draft was Michael St. Croix, who was rated #25 among the top prospects before the draft. The 5'11/ 176 pound Winnipeg native slipped to the 4th round until the Rangers drafted him with the #106th selection. St. Croix was known for his high scoring ability, but never considered a complete package; which may have caused him to slip to the 4th round.
Since being drafted, St Croix has done nothing but impress the Rangers organization with a solid season for the Edmonton Oil Kings compiling career numbers and leading all Ranger prospects in goals (45), assists (60), and points (105); including 18 PP goals. The Rangers signing of Michael St. Croix to a three year entry level contract (two–way deal) most recently indicates the Rangers commitment to the speedy center as St. Croix will start the 2012 season in Edmonton and if he continues to develop, we could see the young center playing in the AHL sometime this season.
Strengths: St. Croix is a crafty forward with solid two-way skills. More of a playmaker than a scorer, St. Croix has exceptional speed and excellent hockey sense. His hockey intelligence and ability to see play's developing makes him a constant threat. His puck skills and pinpoint accurate shot are also high end and he has an uncanny ability to find open space in scoring areas.
Weaknesses:St. Croix tends to take his natural abilities for granted and becomes invisible for long stretches and his lack of size could hinder his effectiveness moving forward in the AHL and NHL, especially along the boards.
Future Analysis:St. Croix is expected to spend at least two more seasons in parts of Junior and AHL before having the opportunity to compete for a roster spot with the Rangers. He's projected to be a second or third line player in the NHL. St. Croix needs to increase his strength level in order to play in the NHL. He needs to play better in traffic areas and be willing to play more physical. If he's successful, he can be another Carl Hagelin with more offense in his game. Perhaps one day, we will see the reincarnation of the smurf line with Hagelin/St.Croix/Thomas.
"A Tim Tebow-like role for Mike Vick with Jets? Mike Tannenbaum thinks so. nj.com/jets/index.ssf…"
That is why Tanny isn't here anymore.
Nice to see the return game addressed. With Ford and Saunders, we will scare some people. Can't wait for some long returnes.
Cimini and Manish are really trying to get Wilkerson to sit out for more money
Jets DL Mo Wilkerson: "Do I feel that I'm underpaid right now? Yeah... But that's part of the business"
Nevermind the #99 talk, E-Man misread things:
I kinda think the media in attendance should be doing the stop, drop, penalty push ups also just for the humor
I think I fell asleep and missed the Jets West report
We're a zillion miles ahead of where we were last year= we finally pooped out the Sanchez era and all clear from here for better or worse
Must say all the local media reports on the Jets are surprisingly positive for a change. A lot of the vitriol and questions aimed at or being posed to Big Blue, not gang Green.
Also must say refreshing that one or more negative nancies who feel a need to comment on everything twice or more with attitutde - - - the cloggers - - - seem to be on vacation. Nice.
Ugh. Though at least Vick >>>>>>>>>>> Tebow.
@idothis2 I'd pay money to see Cimini try to do 5 pushups in his mom jeans and grandpa white-on-white sneakers.
If the NYC sports journalism corps was forced to do pushups at training camp, there would be multiple fatalities.
Mark Sanchez still did it this year, by himself. No WRs, no DBs, nothing. Just him and his dad at a HS field in Cerritos, CA for three days.
He had 74 turnovers.
Man that's a lot of tall people.
I'd say that TJ Barnes started sweating, but he's fat, he was already sweating.
@tsjc68 Or 4 mill per for the next few years as a mentor backup QB makes perfect sense for someone who lost 50 million dollars a few years ago.
@tsjc68 He's just setting Geno up for a Game of Thrones-level backstab. I'm talking Hulk Hogan going NWO on everyone, complete heel turn.
@jaygo We're a zillion miles ahead of where we were last year= we finally pooped out the Sanchez era and all clear from here for better or worse
Whenever Hank returns, I have something to share this with him.
Yes, but on the West side of campus.
It's funny that Big WR Keyshawn Johnson, who re-popularized the "wearing numbers in the teens" thing for WRs is an alumnus of a team that now has all its Big WRs wearing numbers in the 80s (Decker, Nelson, Evans, Enunwa, Hill) while all its Small WRs wear numbers in the teens (Kerley, Saunders, Ford, Hakim).
(And yes, I did completely ignore Clyde Gates, Michael Campbell, and Greg Salas not fitting this pattern, and YES IT WAS INTENTIONAL.)
That way the QB can't call out his # to his blockers.
It's a conspiracy! A conspiracy to deny material to lazy sportswriters.
@tsjc68 I don't think there will ever be a cut as celebrated as Clyde Gates' pending cut, at least on TJB.
JB Shugarts similarly does not wear a number on the field. Or a helmet. Or pads. Or clothes.
How did you forget Tebow?
Who the hell is Tebow?

This recipe is from
Simply Mexican
YIELD: Serves 8
- 1 pound lump crabmeat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeño, stemmed and finely chopped
- 3 plum tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped
- 1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, chopped
- 2 limes, finely grated zest and juice
- Salt and black pepper
- 8 flat tostada shells, packaged or homemade
- 1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
- Cilantro sprigs
- 2 limes, quartered
Prepare the Crabmeat
Put the crabmeat in a bowl. Pick through it with your fingers to remove any cartilage.
Combine the Ingredients
Add the oil, mayonnaise, onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime zest and juice to the crabmeat. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, gently fold (or toss) all ingredients until well blended. Season well with salt and pepper.
Assemble and Serve
Top each tostada shell with a few slices of avocado, place a generous serving of the crabmeat mixture over it, and garnish with a sprig of cilantro. Serve each with a lime wedge.
You can buy commercial tostada shells or fry your own. Commerical tostada shells are basically large tortilla chips. Buy your favorite brand, but try to find tostadas that are 6 to 9 inches wide, round, and flat.
Homemade Tostadas
To make homemade tostadas, purchase 6-inch corn tortillas. Pour 2 inches of oil into a shallow pan and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the tortillas, one at a time, and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan, place on a paper towellined dish, and sprinkle with salt.
To seed tomatoes, cut the tomato into quarters lengthwise then slice off the seedy pulp. Plum tomatoes are best for this recipe because they contain fewer seeds and less pulp than the round varieties.
The crabmeat mixture can be made a day in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container.
While these tostadas make a great first course, you can also make smaller, bite-size ones to be served as hors d'oeuvres.
Another more casual option is to put the crabmeat mixture in a bowl or platter and serve the tortillas alongside, allowing your guests to make their own tostadas. In this case, dice the avocado and fold it into the crabmeat mixture.

Comments about Osprey Aura 50 AG Backpack:
I really thought the overall design was great and intuitive. I had the small frame and I did notice you may not be able to completely unzip the hip-belt pockets. However, unless you stuffed the hip-belt pockets completely full, I don't see this being a huge issue. The other thing was that if you stuffed a nalgene in the side stretchy pocket angled toward the front (versus stuffed in vertically) I was hitting the nalgene a bit with my arm. I did like the back, easily accessible and stretchy pocket...where I kept all my rain gear that I needed! I didn't feel that the two side access pockets behind that were super useful though. My pack was stuffed and I couldn't get much in those pockets. The top pocket was a little on the small side - or maybe I like to stuff too much stuff in that pocket. It took me a minute to get the fit down, but once I did I felt the pack was comfortable and I only had a little chafe-age because I initially had it too tight on the hip. Also, I am close to bottoming out the small, but was able to find a comfortable fit.
