Making A Difference: Coach Mark Helfrich
EUGENE, Ore. -- Mark Helfrich took over the seat as the new head coach of the Oregon football program a few weeks ago. Oregon NewsLab had a chance to interview Coach Helfrich in their Making A Difference series to follow the progress of his team throughout the offseason.
Oregon NewsLab: Can you tell me a little about yourself and the evolution of your coaching career?
Helfrich: Sure. I grew up about two hours from here in Coos Bay, Oregon; on the coast – kind of a timber fishing town. I had great parents, a brother, who actually all went to the University of Oregon. My dad played football here. And then I started coaching at the end of my college career. Was a kind of a graduate assistant at Southern Oregon, where I went to school. And then, I've been mostly west – I've coached at Colorado, at Boise State, at Arizona State; I was a graduate assistant at Oregon in '97. Got hired by Mike Bellotti back then as a G.A., and kind of made my way back here. And I'm very excited to be back. And I consider this kind of home.
ONL: Can you explain to me what was on your mind when you first got dubbed head coach?
Helfrich: What was on my mind? Don't mess up the press conference! No. There's so much going on, it doesn't seem like you really contemplate much. My dad passed away last year and he would have been very proud. He was definitely in the forefront of my mind. Then, it was just go recruiting. You know, hit the ground running and start that way. So, not a lot of time for contemplation yet.
ONL: So, we all know Oregon's on the rise, and they're only getting better. Do you believe you're going to keep that trend going?
Helfrich: Well, I sure hope so. We've had a ton of success and Chip did an incredible job. Obviously there's some expectations that go along with that, which is good. If you're at a place that has no expectations, then that's kind of tougher to a certain extent but that would also be a lot easier to a certain extent. If you go to a program that's 0 and 12 and there's not too much expectation, that's an easier job, but I don't know if that's a place that you necessarily want to be for your life. And hopefully we're here for a long time. We've had a tremendous track record. This staff has been together for a long, long time. Eight of the 10 of us have been here for this whole run with Coach Kelly and we're going to do everything we can to keep that rolling.
ONL: Knowing your history as a quarterback coach, a running backs coach, and an offensive coordinator, do you think that it's going to be an easier transition into head coach?
Helfrich: All of the head coach stuff is ongoing. It's almost on a daily basis where something changes. There's 105 guys on the team, so if 104 are happy, and one guy's got something going on, that's what you're concerned about. There are so many personalities and so many guys that go into making up a team and that's the one thing that people don't always think of. It's that these guys are kids. You know? They're young adults with problems and emotions, and whether it's girlfriends or homework or family issues, financial issues. There's stuff that you have to deal with. And so that's something certainly to that extensive of a reach I haven't dealt with before. But that's part of it. And at some weird level, the enjoyable part of it too is trying to affect those guys and help them out and get them to see the big picture and hopefully find a solution.
ONL: Can you name one big thing that Coach Kelly has taught you before leaving for Philly?
Helfrich: He taught me a ton. I think we're, philosophically, very, very similar. One thing that he taught me, I think just in the evaluation process of recruiting, is just never sacrifice on the character part of it. There's a lot of things that go into being an Oregon Duck football player and we ask a lot of our guys. They work tremendously hard. They put in a ton of hours, and those types of guys have to be high character individuals. That's something that we really value, the character of our team and trying to maintain that and even, you know, notch that up a little bit. It can only be done by bringing in the right type of guys.
ONL: And do you think it's going to be a big difference without Kelly and defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro here?
Helfrich: The thing about this place is, again, we had tremendous success over the last four years. Coach Bellotti had been to a BCS bowl. Coach Brooks, there was no BCS then, but had been to a Rose Bowl obviously. This place is a special place. And hopefully, when I'm long gone, it's still going to be a special place regardless of, maybe, who sits in this chair and that is, again, a tribute to all the guys that built it. And we've had tremendous support, whether it's in terms of our boosters. Obviously, Phil Knight and his family and Pat and Stephanie Kilkenny, had an immeasurably positive influence on this place and that's special. All the people that live and work here are special in their own way. We're the pro sports team in town and it makes it special, and I think that's bigger than any one or two guys and hopefully that's been proven with our ability. You know, you go from a guy like Pat Chung who was an incredible player to then, you know, the next man up type of thing in the secondary or Dennis Dixon to all the quarterbacks that have followed. You just have to be ready to jump in there.
ONL: Who's going to be calling the plays?
Helfrich: We're going to define that this spring. Scott Frost is going to be the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. And we'll go from there. He's going to do it this spring. And then we have a couple different plans. I would feel very comfortable calling the plays and so that'll work itself out fine.
ONL: Are you excited?
Helfrich: Definitely. Definitely. You kind of just get in the grind of the job. There's a lot of stuff to do in a day, but absolutely. [I'm] very excited to be here. It's an honor to be here, and this is a place that I've been a fan of my whole life, and, you know, it's a great place to be.

Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza II 2-16 Torque Wrench $185.00
Your life depends on a quality bike build.
With the nearly constant refinement of bike parts and pieces, we've entered into an era of very lightweight components and frames. While this makes for easier rides up the mountains and more comfort out on the flats, the increasing importance of respecting manufacturer's torque specs makes an accurate torque wrench, like the Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza II, almost a necessity.
Effetto Mariposa is named after the butterfly effect, and in bike terms, suppose that you or a hamfisted mechanic makes a tiny error while torquing a fastener on your bike. And perhaps more likely than the butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil and creating a tornado in Texas, that one mis-torqued bolt could lead to a chain of failures and potential disaster on the bike. Independent tests at the Interbike trade show with passerby's and volunteers show beyond doubt that human hands are not torque wrenches. And no matter what any mechanic says about their ability to "feel" the right torque, they'll be wrong nine times out of ten.
The Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza II Torque Wrench is specifically designed for bicycle applications and will give readings between 2 - 16 Nm to +-4% accuracy. The Giustaforza II is the smallest and most compact adjustable torque wrench we've ever seen. It's roughly the size of two 20g CO₂ cartridges stacked end to end. The body is made of machined aluminum and has coarse knurling on the handle end to give you a good grip and delineate the correct place to grasp the wrench for use. The greatest aspect of the Giustaforza II is the tiny bit head. While it doesn't ratchet (and neither does your 5mm L-bend hex wrench), it will fit into the smallest of spots, like hard-to-reach seatpost clamp hardware. It's smaller than ever and rounded to fit into these odd spots on your bike. It has a powerful built-in magnet to hold your tool bits in place while you work. The torque settings are easy to read on a linear scale in a window machined into the handle, and adjustments require only turning the end-mounted dial to the proper torque spec.
Our Giustaforza II Torque Wrench kit also includes a 14-piece bit set that uses a standard ¼" fitting and has the following items:
- Hex bits -- 2, 2.5, 3, and 6 in 25mm lengths and 4, 5 in 100mm length
- Torx bits -- T10, T15, T20, and T30 in 25mm length and T25 in 100mm length
- Phillips screwdriver bits -- #1
- Common Screwdriver bits -- 3/16"
- 100mm magnetized extension
Please note: Effetto Mariposa recommends storing the Giustaforza with the torque dial turned all the way down to zero to preserve the calibration of the tool.
- 2-16 Nm range is ideal for most bicycle builds and repairs
- +/-4% tolerance is guaranteed for 5000 cycles, then the wrench should be re-calibrated
- Wrench comes in metal box with EVA foam liner for protection

Effetto Mariposa has a video on using warm up clicks to restore internal lubrication. No mention though on when to do this. After a month? 6 months?
It looks like the video shows an older model. So maybe the warm up clicks are not necessary with the current model...?

Carbon life saver!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If your going to spend $3-10k on a bike then plan on getting this wrench. It will save your carbon pieces from cracking and you from crying when your craftsman pops your stem or bars, seatpost, etc.
Its extremely easy to use; turn the dial; put in the right bit (which it comes with) and turn til the head on the wrench "pops" over and then you know your have the right torque. Remember to return your setting back to 0!!
yes its expensive but cheap compared to getting new carbon.
What's the difference between the black...
What's the difference between the black (deluxe) and red (pro )version?
Answered my own question...black is non-ratcheting and red is ratcheting.
Colorado Chris
Yes, the head piece is different. I have this version and I can't imagine needing the pro version.
Remember to alway return the torque setting back to 0 when your done. Leaving it in a higher torque position will wear our the system faster. I met these guys in leadville co. Excellent service.

Hex bits -- 2, 2.5, 3, and 6 in 25mm lengths and 4, 5 in 100mm length
Torx bits -- T10, T15, T20, and T30 in 25mm length and T25 in 100mm length

Shooting In Chicago Kills One, Severely Injures Another

News PhotoAdult,Chicago - Illinois,Crime,Exploration,Horizontal,Illinois,Justice - Concept,Law,Men,Old Town,Police Force,Residential District,USA,Waist UpPhotographer Scott OlsonCollection: Getty Images News 2013 Getty ImagesCHICAGO, IL - JANUARY 08: Chicago police investigate the scene where two men were shot in the Old Town neighborhood on January 8, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois. Tyshawn Blanton, 31, died as a result of the shooting and a 20-year-old man who was shot in the back was taken to the hospital in serious-to-critical condition. Blanton's murder was at least the 14th murder in the city this year. The Old Town neighborhood was selected last month by Realtor.com as 2012's hottest neighborhood in the country. Today Vice President Joe Biden will be meeting with victims' groups and gun-safety organizations at the White House in his effort to develop proposals to curb gun violence following the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

Game Five: Clippers 101, Denver 83
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 05/01/06, 11:24pm:
Clippers win series 4-1
Most of the obvious has been said. This much is true:
- For the past twenty-five years, no franchise in the Big Three sports has compiled a worse record on the field of play than the Los Angeles Clippers.
- No franchise in the Big Three was more an afterthought in its hometown than the Los Angeles Clippers.
- No franchise in the Big Three played in a more substandard facility.
- No ownership had less compunction over its intention to treat the franchise as nothing more than a buy-and-hold asset, one of whose primary objectives was low overhead.
In short, the Los Angeles Clippers were empirically designed to lose.
It wasn't a curse, or even the result of bad trades and bonehead drafts made by clownish GMs. No.
The Los Angeles Clippers were built for losing. By design.
But then something strange happened. They stumbled into something:
They managed to steal an undersized 22-year-old second year power forward from Chicago. A likeable family boy who personified everything right about competition -your classic first-there-last-to-leave gymrat who would spend hours practicing a 15-foot face-up jumper by rote.
And he was theirs.
Prior to his arrival, they picked up another Duke product from Chicago's West Suburbs - an absolute machine of an athlete who, with a little offensive tutelage, could become one of the Association's great slashers.
They cultivated this pair with a revolving door of raw talents, and finally found some compliments in a 7-foot ambidextrous center with the footwork of a ballerina and a stringy 6'7" point guard who controlled the floor with a joystick.
Then, they did the unthinkable - added the ballsiest, mouthy veteran in the league and another Team Gymrat member -- a shooting guard of moderate talent, but a high basketball I.Q. Throw in the feral defender who can also do the manual labor in your offensive sets and you've got an accidental recipe for success.
Breaking up this group would be like bulldozing an orphanage to make way for a Wal-Mart.
Even this owner has a threshold for shame. It's low...but it exists. For this, we're eternally grateful.
Tomorrow, a couple of observations on tonight's win. Enjoy tonight.

LOWVILLE The field crops educator at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Lewis County plans to leave next month for greener pastures.
Joseph R. Lawrence, who has served in the post since 2008, in mid-February plans to leave the Lowville extension office for a job with McClelland Agronomic Services helping local farmers achieve crop production goals.
As a Northern New York native, I could not have asked for a better experience returning home to work in a great community with a remarkable team of people (past and present) at CCE, and a tremendous group of farmers and agri-service professionals, Mr. Lawrence wrote in the extension newsletter. My title has been field crops educator and, even though I was supposed to be the educator, I have learned so much from every one of you that I have had the opportunity to interact with.
I certainly wish him well in what he is doing, but he will be missed, said Michele E. Ledoux, executive director of the Lowville extension office.
Mr. Lawrence has not only provided individual assistance to farmers throughout the region but also conducted a variety of research and publishes a Web-based weekly crop report for Northern New York, Mrs. Ledoux said.
The Cape Vincent native last summer received the New York State Association of County Agricultural Agents achievement award in recognition of service by educators with less than 10 years at an extension.
While earning a masters degree in soil science at Cornell University, Ithaca, in 2008, Mr. Lawrence published three peer-reviewed journal articles on nitrogen management and manure application methods.
He is a columnist for the Journal and Republican newspaper in Lowville and was named among Northern New Yorks 20 Under 40 Emerging Leaders by NNY Business magazine.
The Journal and Republican and NNY Business are both published by the Johnson Newspaper Corp., which also publishes the Watertown Daily Times.
Extension offices in Lewis and Jefferson counties have been sharing educational staff to serve farmers in both counties, which should help maintain services following Mr. Lawrences departure, according to Mrs. Ledoux.

PARADISE GARAGE (1 of 6)
House of Ernest ART TEAM takes on a collection Inspired by 70s London PUNK "PARADISE GARAGE" In response to London fashion week's ode to Punk, the House of Ernest 'CREATIVE TEAM' has created a collection that harks back to London circa 1976 and the Punk area in general, merging it with today. The collection is telling a story of the dark rebellious side of 1970's London in stark contrast to the swinging sixties or disco eras, with hair styled in contrasting textures, hair cut to look like it has been torn and colour that looks as though you've done it in you bathroom. Punk is reborn. The six looks all have names that show relation to the Punk movement and each look has its own back story.

By ALAN J. PETERSONHelper
I agree with Andy Barnett (Letters to the editor, Sun Advocate, Feb. 13, 2007) on the importance of recreation programs and physical activities for our youth.
Sports, competition and physical activities are important for proper development of health and fitness. Carbon County Recreation (CCR) offers a long list of programs and activities to the citizens of Carbon County, both for youth and adults. In checking their website I found an impressive list of programs being offered.
I'm not sure which item Mr. Barnett is most frustrated about? Perhaps the quality of programs, the lack of participation, the costs, or the management? Crucial elements to the success of any youth program would be involvement by the parents and commitment by the youth.
While Mr. Barnett and I are in agreement on the importance of such programs, we seem to be in the minority of parents who believe so. While we believe that sports, athletics, physical activities, competition and team-play are vital to raising healthy children, the current "X-Box" Generation (and many of their parents) seem to think that sitting in front of a video game or "chatting" on-line will somehow develop the social skills needed to succeed in today's social climate.
It's my opinion that until parents are willing to put such activities higher on their priority list, success of any youth program will be hindered. In no way have I been involved in the majority of activities or programs sponsored and administered by Carbon County Recreation, but those that I have been fortunate to be involved with have been managed by dedicated and concerned employees.
I am confident that the leadership and staff of CCR has the best interests of our youth in mind and are committed to successful programs for the youth of our area. I'm confident that Mr. Barnett's desire to see the programs grow and improve is shared by local government officials, and management and staff of CCR.
The programs are available, the staff is dedicated and the local government entities are supporting CCR financially. It's my opinion that what is lacking is commitment from parents and participants to place recreation, sports, competition and teamwork higher on their priority list.
I realize that there are many parents out there, like Mr. Barnett that are already involved and dedicated. But, as is true with most volunteer projects, it's STP (same 10 people) that do all the work. Those parents who are involved in their children's lives tend to do it all. They are the coaches, the referees, the PTA president, the club supervisor, the scout leaders, the trainer, and the dance chaperone.
With Utah now suffering from an epidemic of youth obesity, it's a perfect time for everyone to come together and work to make the CCR programs even better than they already are.

Continuation from Previous article.
The completed project
Unfortunately, my initial goal for this project could not be met, as I have continually run into structural integrity issues. What remains however, it a large joystick that requires near full body motion to use, which is similar to my initial goal of creating a controller that allows the user to use their actual movements to navigate an environment. As can be seen from the above image, the Fio v3 micro controller is wired to to the outer housing. Inside each block is a potentiometer which in turn is glued to the dowel which is rotated by the joystick. The base of the potentiometer is attached by two wires wrapped around screws to a metal bar. This ensures that the base does not rotate, but only the top, so that it can more accurately measure the dowel rotation.
The above images show how the joystick rotates inside the housing. Both the X and Y axis are free to rotate, allowing the joystick to move in a full circle.
The joystick takes the rotation data and determines which key is to be pressed for the given configuration. The key press is sent over the Serial XBee connection to an Arduino Leonardo with an XBee Shield (Seen below), which is recognized by the computer as a keyboard and mouse. The Leonardo is then attached to the computer running the virtual environment program. Once attached the joystick is able to send data to the computer and navigate the environment.
The code for this project can be found here.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken.

What Makes Sammy Gun?

When Sam Cassell draws a smaller guard, his eyes light up. He'll back in his cover -- in this case Derek Fisher in the second quarter -- then shoot over his right shoulder with ease, elevating over the shorter defender. How many times did we see it here in Los Angeles? Back when the Clippers were respectable and contesting PHX each time they faced off, Sam's efficiency against Nash forced Mike D'Antoni's hand. By the time the playoffs rolled around in 2006, D'Antoni assigned Shawn Marion to cover Sam because both Nash and Barbosa were helpless against him.

There may be lots of new exercise machines nowadays but one that remains highly useful and beneficial through the years is the treadmill. It's a machine that's been proven by many in providing health benefits and more although there are now newer workout machines on the market. Although it's been around for so many years already, various brands and models are created uniquely and are equipped with latest technologies to improve your workout experience and maximize the benefits.
Treadmills are great for cardio workouts. By walking on it alone, you can strengthen your heart and potentially reduce your blood pressure. It helps reduce cholesterol levels and lowers your risk for heart problems and stroke. Newer models today now have heart rate monitor that displays your heart rate to optimize cardio conditioning.
Treadmills are also great for your muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and joints. If you use a treadmill's incline position, it will improve toning effect on your legs. It keeps your joints flexible, and reduces the impact on your ankle, knee, and hip joints. So walking on it reduces the risks of joint injuries, making it safer compared to walking outdoors with uneven surfaces. To protect your joints or to maintain healthy joints, refer to: http://healthproductanalysis.com/does-supple-joint-supplement-work-the-truth-is-here/.
Treadmills are also great for weight loss, many overweigtht individuals don't use complicated programs but use treadmills instead for losing weight. It's great for burning calories and most treadmills are equipped with calorie counter so you're aware of the amount of calories you have already burned while working out.
Treadmills have many other benefits but one more great benefit that people love is their convenience. When you have one at home, you don't need to go to the gym or walk outdoors. All you need is right inside your house so you can have a great workout experience without leaving your home.

|We (Brad,Andy,Neil, Betsy and myself) left the Echo Lake Trailhead at 7am this morning with the goal to reach Mount Evans and camp on the way out. Due to mixed snow/no-snow/ice conditions, our progress was slower than expected and we did not reach the Warren/Spalding saddle until 2:30. Thus we decided to hike to the summit of Warren from where we had great views.
Beautiful day and great camping close to the Chicago Lakes.

|Long day from Echo Lake Trailhead. Summitted in group of five (Georg, Betsy, Andy, Neil and myself). Original destination was Mount Evans, but because of snow/ice conditions and time constraints, we decided Mount Warren was a more reasonable goal. Awesome weather and a fun climb.

|I summitted Warren after Spalding and Evans. I had planned on going on to Rogers, but there was a mean looking storm coming in. I didn't see anyone else up there. Since there's no trail, it looks like hardly anyone goes up there.

|I was surprised to see an SP page for this mountain! Hordes at the lake, but not a soul on Warren or Rogers. They're not the most exciting summits, to be sure, but they afford a quick and easy wilderness escape. We saw a jackrabbit on Warren, the highlight of our alpine amble!

Even if you're not drowning in beauty products, it just takes a handful of lipsticks, more than one mascara, and a few bottles of nail polish to make your vanity feel cluttered. Overwhelmed by our ever-growing collection of cosmetics, we asked Lili Pettit, organizer to celebrities like Jessica Alba, for help.
5 Tips for Keeping Your Vanity Clutter-Free
- 1 of 10
Pettit recommends storing brushes vertically and, if you have the space, separating them based on purpose (eyes, lips, face). "Some people have that Anthropologie-esque thing going on, so I'll use mason jars," she says.
- 2 of 10
Pictured: Pottery Barn Evleen Mercury Glass Canister ($20). Try CB2's Toothbrush Cups ($6), Urban Outfitters' Clear Canisters ($16), or Waterworks' Studio Oxygen Jar ($30).
- 3 of 10
If there's plenty of counter space, Pettit also recommends The Container Store's Acrylic Organizer ($35).
- 4 of 10
When it comes to pen-shaped tools—mascara, eyeliner, lip pencils—Pettit favors stackable boxes. "Jessica Alba's so into eco, so I used all bamboo for her," she says. "They can live in a cabinet or a drawer, depending on its depth."
- 5 of 10
If you like color, try Home Depot's Lipper International Stackable Bamboo Box Set ($40). For a more classic look, there's the Container Store's Stackable Drawer Organizers ($4-8), pictured.
- 6 of 10
"I like to store tinted moisturizer and foundation upright, for spillage purposes," Pettit says. She uses a P-Touch Label Maker ($40) to label everything.
- 7 of 10
Try Ikea's Godmorgon Storage Unit ($15), Organize's Drawer Double-Clear ($7), or Bed, Bath, and Beyond's Three Compartment Tray ($14).
- 8 of 10
Pettit's stellar tip for lipstick storage? Keep them upside down so you can see the name of the color as soon as you open your drawer. She likes storing them "like popsicles" in a Lucite tray, like this one from The Container Store ($7). If you're feeling fancier, try Anthropologie's Vestige Lipstick Holder ($28), pictured.
- 9 of 10
Clear is the way to go for nail polish storage since you want to keep the bottles upright, but need to see the color. We love Muji's Acrylic Case Drawers ($18).
- 10 of 10
If Pettit had her way, everyone would keep their hair products and fragrance on Lazy Susans within their cabinets. "Then you can just turn it around and grab whatever you need," she says.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) - Patrick Moran is seen in this video, shot in Arlington County, first trying to dissuade the man from committing voter fraud. Then, after awhile, Moran offers these suggestions on how to skirt Virginia's voter ID law.
Fairfax County Republican chair Jay McConville says all those concerned about voter fraud should find the video disturbing.
"It's quite shocking. The suggestion that I could vote 100 times should be met with an absolute response, 'no way, don't do it.' That's illegal. And then it should be turned in," said McConville.
Jim Moran's Republican challenger, Patrick Murray, called for the investigation.
"He was so, seemingly knowledgeable, about how to conduct voter fraud. If somebody came up to me and said 'Patrick, I want to do some voter fraud,' I would have no idea. First of all, I'd tell them it's illegal and I wouldn't participate," said Murray.
Jim Moran's campaign office was empty and the door locked. All signs had been removed and we were unable to talk to him today.
He did release this statement.
Patrick is well liked and was a well-respected member of the campaign team. This incident, however, was clearly an error in judgment. The campaign has accepted Patrick's resignation, effective immediately.
The Moran for Congress campaign also released a statement about the investigation into the O'Keefe video:
"Our campaign welcomes a thorough investigation and we will fully cooperate. The incident involving Patrick was an unfortunate situation. While clearly lacking good judgment, Patrick's unsolicited interaction with a right wing political operative seeking to trap him in a damaging conversation did not constitute an unlawful action. We are confident this unwelcome chapter in the campaign will be quickly and favorably closed."
Here is a statement from Brian Moran, the chair of the Virginia Democratic Party.
Patrick Moran is my nephew and a good kid who in this instance, made a mistake. He has taken responsibility and has stepped down from the Moran campaign. The Democratic Party of Virginia is an organization that stands for free and open participation in our elections and we oppose even the appearance of any effort to undermine those values.
Ironically, on Tuesday, Congressmen Moran (D), Gerald Connolly (D) and Bobby Scott (D) wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder , asking the Department of Justice to launch a multi-state investigation into voter fraud stemming from a Harrisonburg, Va. incident last week.
In that incident, a young contractor working for Pinpoint, which was hired by the Virginia Republican Party, was arrested and charged with 13 counts of voter registration fraud when he was allegedly seen throwing away voter registration applications.
Pinpoint operates throughout the Commonwealth, including Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
The company faces 200 allegations of voter registration fraud in Florida and more possible cases in Arizona and Colorado.
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is investigating that incident and now Arlington County police are investigating this incident in a Democratic campaign. Cuccinelli's office says they can only investigate voter fraud if asked to do so by the State Board of Elections.

Hall of Fame announcement today at 2 pm… Good Luck, Piazza!
The much-anticipated 2013 Hall of Fame inductees will be announced today at 2 pm at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.
This year's ballot features 37 candidates, with 24 newcomers, including Mike Piazza, Craig Biggio, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling and Sammy Sosa, along with 13 men from previous elections, such as Jeff Bagwell, Jack Morris, Tim Raines and Lee Smith.
The results for 2013 will be announced live on MLB Network and simulcast on MLB.com as part of a three-hour special presentation that begins at noon.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
To be honest, I've been dreading this day. Frankly, the only reason I care that Piazza gets in to the Hall of Fame is because I know he wants to be in the Hall of Fame… and I'm a Piazza fan and he was on the Mets. If he didn't care, I probably wouldn't care. So, I hope things work out for him today. I know he'll be happy if he makes it.
In regards to the MLB Hall of Fame, I grew up imagining it was a place to honor the games greatest, most feared and influential players. Unfortunately, it is anything but that. In my view, it's a collection players ranging from slightly above average to elite. In my strict, not-statistical, super conservative view, of the players I grew up watching, only Rickey Henderson, Greg Maddux and maybe Tony Gwynn would get my vote. You could probably convince me of one or two more, but that's assuming you can keep me paying attention to the conversation. As I said, I usually ignore this discussion every year, but I'm paying attention here because Piazza was one my favorite players.
Of course, I'm a tad hypocritical, because I do care about the retired numbers and the museum in Citi Field, probably because I go to Citi Field, I hope to take my kids there, and I expect it to be part of our baseball experience. However, in regards to the overall game, I've never been overly concerned with its history and legacy, mostly because it's all so relative from era to era and I never got to watch those players first hand. I am far more passionate about the people I liked watching, rooting for, got to meet, etc., and so talk of retiring Piazza's number is far more important to me than today's vote. It's a subtle difference that I don't expect others to understand, but it makes sense to me…
Lastly, I am looking forward to the fight between some baseball fans and the BBWAA members who will be responsible for today's vote. I look forward to seeing these voters be labeled as hypocrites and inconsistent with history (since the Hall of Fame is littered with accused cheaters, from Gaylord Perry to Whitey Ford to Willie Stargell). Yet, this generation of voters will continue to see themselves as judge and jury of a player's character and integrity (which are two of the criteria required to be factored in to a decision). I also look forward to seeing if these people vote one way this time around, only to vote some of these guys in next time… as though the BBWAA's responsibility is to temporarily punish people (or simply make them feel bad) without hard evidence. It's all so mangled and in need of reform.
Anyway, good luck to Piazza and his family. I hope he gets what he wants…

CANTON A former Pitcairn town supervisor pleaded not guilty in St. Lawrence County Court Monday morning after being indicted on charges of grand larceny for allegedly embezzling $35,000 of municipal funds.
Susan M. Smith, 39, Harrisville, said nothing as she left the court on her own recognizance following a brief appearance before Judge Jerome J. Richards.
She is certainly not a flight risk and has no criminal history, defense attorney Gary W. Miles told the court. Shell be here when shes needed.
Assistant state Attorney General Bridget E. Holohan Scally, who is prosecuting the case, said her office is prepared to take the case to trial. Counsel has 45 days to prepare motions.
Mrs. Smiths case was referred to the attorney generals office by the state comptrollers office following an audit. St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duv� said her office will not be participating in the prosecution in order to avoid any possible appearance of impropriety, as Mrs. Smith is the daughter of St. Lawrence County Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction.
The 10-count indictment unsealed in County Court charges Mrs. Smith with third-degree grand larceny, four counts of offering a false instrument for filing, four counts of tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a forged instrument. The top count carries a maximum state prison sentence of 2 1⁄3 to seven years. It was not immediately clear Monday how much additional time the remaining charges might carry.
Mrs. Smith, Pitcairn town supervisor from Jan. 1, 2008, to Dec. 31, 2009, is accused of issuing about $35,000 in unauthorized payments to herself and others from town accounts at Community Bank N.A., where she was a branch manager. She allegedly issued and cashed the checks at the branch between December 2008 and December 2009.
When the state comptrollers office questioned some of the payments during a risk assessment, Mrs. Smith prepared and submitted false documentation, according to the indictment, including a forged bank memo that falsely indicated that she had credited funds back to the town.
Corruption wastes taxpayer money and, perhaps even worse, erodes the publics trust in its government, Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said. This individual will be brought to justice for cheating hard-working taxpayers to line her own pockets and then attempting to cover up the crime.
Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli also took aim at municipal leadership for inadequate oversight.
Pitcairns town officials failed in their responsibility to oversee financial operations, Mr. DiNapoli said. We urge our localities, large and small, to use basic checks and balances to deter criminal activity.
Asked about the towns financial procedures later Monday, Supervisor Clyde Sam Frank Jr. replied that all of that was adjusted in the response to the audit.
I keep in close contact with the comptrollers office, said Mr. Frank, who took office as supervisor on Jan. 1. If theres something I dont understand, I just call them. Theyve been very helpful.
Mr. Frank did not immediately know how much had been spent on legal fees as a result of the case, but said he was hopeful that Pitcairn would ultimately recoup its losses.
Look, arent we all? he added.

|Step aerobics exercise is great for beginners, intermediate and advanced individuals. Carbon County residents can find group exercise at the College of Eastern Utah and at local fitness centers. Root says there are also a lot of great exercise discs if working out within a group is a problem. However she recommends joining a group for the variety as well as the motivational and social aspect.
Sun Advocate lifestyles reporter Diana Root has been involved with fitness and nutrition for over 27 years. She has worked as an instructor both at her own studio and currently at the College of Eastern Utah. She has established herself as fitness pioneer in Price over the last two decades and she sat down with the Sun Advocate to share her knowledge and give some tips on how local residents can lead a healthier lives.
Root has three national certifications in aerobics and one in kickboxing. She recommends that those just getting started with aerobic training start out slowly and then gradually increase their duration and pace.
"For beginners walking in the evening is a great way to get started," stated Root. "Gradually increase the time you walk and then work on increasing your pace."
Root further suggests that individuals can get involved with group exercise such as yoga, Pilates or low impact activities such as step aerobics at CEU or local fitness centers.
"When entering any kind of fitness activity always start out slow," cautioned Root.
She recommends that beginners start out with a slow rhythmic exercise to warm up muscles followed by stretching and then the activity. She further cautioned that stretching at the end of the workout is just as important as stretching in the beginning.
"When starting your workout activity also start slowly and then increase the intensity of your workout," said Root.
|A medicine or exercise ball is a great way to increase flexibility and strengthen muscles and burn calories. It provides resistance for almost exercise. Root would like to caution all potential exercisers to set realistic goals and expectation for themselves when starting a workout regimen.
Root's tips for intermediate and advanced aerobic training include:
Everyone including advanced and well trained individuals should still start slowly.
Alternating workouts is an important part of training. "Give your body a chance to rest and work on different muscle groups on different days," said Root. "Repetitively doing the same workout every day can cause overuse injuries."
Circuit training and interval workout including active rest is a great way to work out. Active rest is defined by maintaining motion while catching ones breath after a strenuous portion of the workout.
Always work opposing muscle groups to keep the body from having a muscle imbalance.
Regardless if individuals are in the beginning phases of a workout routine or are advance keeping a correct heart rate is essential. "Keep your heart rate within your working zone and always keep hydrated," suggests Root.
|Root points out that a healthy diet is a big part of an exercise regimen and warns against fatty foods like burgers and fries.
Root reports that nutrition and diet are a very essential part of reaching ones fitness goals. In a lecture that Root offers within her class she details some of the problems and solutions concerning fat content within an individuals diet.
According to Root, "the fact is that we need some fat in our diet. Adults need a minimum daily intake of fat to meet the body's needs, however most individuals overdue it." Fat is essential for healthy bodily functions and should not be totally eliminated from our diets. It is recommended by the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society and others that individuals should consume no less than 20 percent and no more than 30 percent of the total caloric intake (TCI). However, it is estimated that Americans are consuming over 40 percent of their daily caloric intake with fat. And this can lead to health problems.
Root uses the following formulas to establish percentages of fat intake per day.
Body weight X 15 = The number of total calories needed to maintain present body weight.
Multiply that number by between 20 and 30 percent and divide by nine for calories per gram of fat.
For example - a 100 pound person would require 1500 calories to maintain their present weight. 1500 x 20 percent gives 300 fat calories recommended. There are nine calories in a gram of fat for the last step of the equation. So a 100 pound individual should consume 33 grams of fat per day to maintain body weight and be healthy. Or present weight X 15 X .20 divided by 9 = grams of fat per day.
"Let me put this in perspective," said Root. "You really have to watch when eating out. A fresh chicken and broccoli pasta sounds nutritional. However at a popular restaurant this meal consists of 2,061 calories and 128 grams of fat. According to national health authorities that is more fat than anyone should consume for an entire day."
Root suggests that individuals watch labels and try to eat at home as much as possible. She further commented that more than 10 percent of the total fat intake should consist of saturated fats.
"When you prepare food yourself you know what goes into it, try to stay away from pre-packaged meals and cook for yourself."
|Walking and listening to music is a very effective way to burn calories while having a good time.
Information on all chain restaurants and fast food establishments is available online. Because according to Root it can be very difficult to find this information within the establishment.
"If you are unsatisfied with your present weight and you would like to lose or gain weight change the weight in the equation to your desired weight and then complete the formula," stated Root. "This will lead you to a healthy lifestyle. Want to know why Americans are unhealthy and overweight? This is why - grab fast food, gain fast weight."
As a final thought Root would like to caution all interested parties to contact their health care physician before beginning any exercise program.

Across-the-board federal spending cuts known collectively as sequestration will force all border patrol agents to take unpaid time off unless Congress acts to restore funding.
Facing roughly $512 million in cuts in 2013 alone, U.S. Customs and Border Protection already has issued furlough notices to its 60,000 employees, Swanton Sector spokeswoman Melissa Izaguirre said Monday.
The Swanton Sector stretches from Ogdensburg to northern New Hampshire.
Reductions to Border Patrol overtime will begin on April 7 and furloughs of all Customs and Border Protection employees are expected to begin in mid-April, Ms. Izaguirre said in an email.
Overtime reductions at ports of entry already have been implemented, she said.
The Swanton Sector covers 261 miles of the U.S.-Canada border and is staffed by 352 agents. Ms. Izaguirre said that for security reasons, the agency does not release the number of agents at each station.
Despite fewer agents on duty, she said, the agency will continue to do its job.
We will continue to protect the border, Ms. Izaguirre said. Individuals apprehended illegally crossing the border will still be processed as usual.
Fewer agents per shift also will affect border crossings.
Ms. Izaguirre said the agency expects that planned furlough of employees, along with reductions to overtime and a hiring freeze will increase wait times at ports of entry, including international arrivals at airports, and reduced staffing between land ports of entry.
She said the agency hopes to know the full extent of the effect by the end of the week.
Because the length of the sequestration as well as funding levels through the end of the fiscal year are unknown at this time, it is difficult to project the impact of the reductions on individual employees or job occupations, Ms. Izaguirre said.
The cuts to Customs and Border Protection are part of a sweeping $85 billion reduction in federal spending this year that went into effect last month.
Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, has cautioned that sequestration may last several months if Congress and President Obama are unable to reach a deal on more targeted federal spending cuts.
Ms. Izaguirre said every border patrol agent in the Swanton Sector will face furloughs if no agreement is reached.
A spokesman for the Buffalo Sector, which includes Jefferson County, could not be reached for comment Tuesday on how the cuts will affect border protection there.
