Burrowes' new Scottish Victorian trilogy begins with a charming tale in which the importance of family beautifully blends with sweet love. As always, Burrowes creates a character-driven novel, allowing the secondary love stories to add depth to the hero and heroine's trials and complexities. The slowly simmering sensuality and the strong bonds of family hold readers' interest and hearts.
Ian MacGregor must marry well to save his family estate and believes he has found his solution in English heiress Genie Daniels — until he meets her spinster cousin, Augusta. Augusta is more than the poor relation; she is Genie's best friend and would never hurt her chances for happiness. Ian and Augusta are equally stunned by their mutual attraction. Augusta is caught between loyalty and love as Ian is trapped by duty. Finding a way out of their predicament leads to a surprising revelation. (SOURCEBOOKS, Dec., 380 pp., $7.99)

At some of the YMCAs around the country, a rule for free swimming is now this: If a child is under a certain age - sometimes as high as 11 - and has not yet passed a swim test, a parent must be in the water with him at all times, not more than an arm's length away, in the shallow end.
And the child must be wearing a life vest.
This is all in the name of safety, of course - except that it constitutes the exact opposite. It is practically guaranteeing that kids do not end up learning how to swim. How could they? Whenever they've got time to practice, they can barely get their head underwater! In fact, a head going ...

Michigan Department of Education Receives Grant to Develop Foundation of Early Childhood Data SystemContact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs (517) 241-4395Agency: Education
August 6, 2013
LANSING - The Michigan Department of Education's Office of Great Start has begun a project to develop foundational elements of a coordinated early childhood data system to support improved outcomes for children.
The project is funded by a $400,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan.
"We need to be able to follow and measure the successes, and opportunities, of quality early childhood learning," State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said. "This generous grant from the Kellogg Foundation will help get us to the starting line."
The overall objective is the development of a coordinated and shared early childhood data system allowing for real time and longitudinal status of Michigan's children's health and development and association participation in early childhood programs and services.
Funding will support three major activities including the development of a multi-sector stakeholder governance structure; a strategic plan with outcomes over the next five years; and the completion of a financial feasibility study to identify costs construct and maintain this system.
The system will support greater identification of children and communities with high needs and other populations with unique needs to enable real time data exchange among programs, and services and existing data systems with the aim of closing service gaps; support a longitudinal capacity to view a child's health and development from his/her entry into a publicly-funded early childhood service or program; and maintain compliance with all state and federal regulations related to security, privacy, and confidentiality.

Winter made an early visit to New Mexico and Deming took in a blanket of snow over the weekend.
Three to five inches of snow fell Saturday overnight and snow flurries were expected to blow through Sunday afternoon.
Saturday's snowfall made road conditions difficult -- and even hazardous -- throughout New Mexico, with more accumulations in the central and northern half of the state.
Roads in Deming and Luna County remained open, but the New Mexico Department of Transportation urged motorists to use extreme caution when traveling.
Interstate 10 from the Arizona border to the Texas border was reported to be icy and difficult driving conditions was the status giving by NMDOT.
US 180 (Silver City Highway) was snow-packed and iced over in some spots from Silver City to Deming. Motorists were urged to use caution.
Deming Police and Luna County Sheriff's Office had no reports to the Deming Headlight of major traffic issues or weather-related incidents as of shortly after noon on Sunday.
The temperature in Deming was 30 degrees at noon on Sunday and the forecast called for an overnight low of 23 degrees. Monday will be partly cloudy with a high of 45 and the overnight low is expected to be at 26 degrees. Tuesday will be clear, with a high of 47 degree and the mercury will drop to 26 overnight.
The state's northern and western mountains received the highest levels of snow fall. The latest snowfall figures were unavailable.
About a dozen road closures were reported across the southern part of the state, while officials say driving conditions were difficult across many areas of northern New Mexico. Crews with the NMDOT were busy running snowplows up and down the roadways and spreading cinder to remove snow and ice.
Snow was forecast for Sunday morning, with an additional 1 to 2 inches expected in northern and central New Mexico and three to six inches forecast across the mountainous areas. As of 1 p.m., Sunday, Deming has not received any snowfall.

An 86-year-old cancer patient was attacked and robbed after being followed into his retirement home Sunday, police said.
The man was returning home from shopping at about 11:15 p.m. when he came to the door of his residence at 1020 W. Lawrence Ave., police said.
As a receptionist buzzed him in, a woman who had been lingering near the door slipped in after him.
The woman followed him into an elevator and up to his tenth-floor apartment, police said. When the man unlocked the door, the woman knocked him to the floor, ripped open his pants pocket and grabbed a wallet containing $110 in cash.The assailant is described as a black female in her 40s, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing approximately 170 pounds. She was wearing a red jacket.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Bay area fire rescue officials continue to warn people to be careful if they still plan on setting off fireworks over the weekend. They say people often underestimate just how much power they can pack.
"I think a lot of people don't really know the magnitude or the ramifications that can come into an accidental injury," says Cpt. Todd Livingston with St. Petersburg Fire Rescue.
In Pasco County, authorities are still searching for two young men who placed lit fireworks at the doorstep of two Land O' Lakes homes. Cameras captured the young men at one of the houses lighting the fireworks, ringing the doorbell, and driving away.
It caused quite a bit of damage to one of the homes' doors and also the attic. Luckily, no one was hurt in the prank. But they very easily could have been.
"You could have some serious potential injuries or loss of life just doing something stupid like that," says Cpt. Livingston.
Authorities say the crime is considered first degree arson.
If you still do plan on setting off fireworks, here are some quick reminders:

Movie Poster of the Week: "In the City of Sylvia"
The ultimate cinephile film of the 2007 festival circuit, José Luis Guerin's ode to voyeurism, In the City of Sylvia, opened in the UK last month with this perfectly evocative poster designed by one of my favorite studios, All City Media. (Its mixture of photography and pencil-sketches amusingly similar to the poster for Sam Mendes' latest, Away We Go.)
What I love about All City's website is that they also post the unused comp designs they come up with, many of which are just as good as the final poster, as is the case with these three unused Sylvia designs.
But I still have a soft spot for the French poster, with its hint of a ghost story:

Seton Hill jumper headed to nationals
College Football Videos
Second chances don't come around often, but Hempfield native Aron Kurzinski knows how to take advantage of them when they do.
After missing nationals by less than an inch almost every year of his collegiate long-jump career at Seton Hill, Kurzinski was asked to compete for one more year as a graduate student.
"I put my time in here," Kurzinski said. "I scored a lot of points. I just wanted one more shot at it, and I got it. I told myself I'm not going to let it slip away this time."
It didn't take Kurzinski long to prove he was going to make it to nationals this year. He broke the school record in the long jump with a leap of 24 feet, 1 inch at the Tiffin Kickoff Invitational, which was the first meet of the season.
He went on to break his own record at the Armory Collegiate Invitational with a fourth-place finish and a mark of 24-7¾. Kurzinski is ranked 15th in the nation and No. 1 in Division II, and he automatically qualified for nationals.
"He has paid the price, believe me," said Gene Brisbane, jumping coach at Seton Hill. "He's on a mission right now. And this is his last chance. He's come up short to go to nationals every year by a couple of inches. He left no doubt this year that he was going."
His early-season accomplishments also earned him the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division II National Track Athlete of the Week Honors on Feb. 5.
"All I care about is that I'm in nationals," Kurzinski said. "I'm automatically qualified. It comes down to who is better on that day. What you do prior to nationals is irrelevant, basically. It's who is the best jumper on that day. That's how I'm going in looking at it."
The Griffins will travel to Birmingham, Ala., for the NCAA Division II Championships on March 8. Kurzinski will jump at 5 p.m. His desired mark is 25 feet, and he's been training for it since July.
Kurzinski has utilized all of his resources at Seton Hill, including the close guidance of Brisbane, who originally coached Kurzinski at Hempfield. The two were reunited at Seton Hill when Brisbane was asked to serve as the jumping coach.
"I would not be where I am today without Gene Brisbane," Kurzinski said. "And that is a fact. You can underline that. He's half my motivation and why I do it. He's worked with me day and night. And you will not find a man who is in better shape that Bris is. He would crush me in a push-up contest."
Brisbane would argue that Kurzinski's success comes down to his work ethic and attitude. With this already being a successful season, Kurzinski has received praise from classmates and the Seton Hill community, but he isn't ready to hear them.
"He has to keep his eye on the prize, and he is," Brisbane said. "Even (last week) at practice, we got to go outside and he was helping some of the younger jumpers, almost like being a coach while doing his own workout. He hasn't changed a bit.
"He's focused."

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) - Nigeria's military says all but eight of 129 female students kidnapped from a northeastern school by Islamic militants are free.
Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade says one of the kidnappers has been captured. Without giving details he says "the others have been freed this evening."
The government said security forces were in hot pursuit of militants who abducted more than 100 girls at a high school early Tuesday.
The governor of Borno state said at least 14 freed themselves: four of the students - aged between 16 and 18 - jumped off the back of a truck and 10 escaped into the bush when the extremists asked them to cook and were not paying attention.
The abductions came hours after an explosion blamed on extremists killed 75 people in Nigeria's capital.

Scott Horton Interviews Daniel Luban
Daniel Luban, writer for the foreign policy blog Lobelog, discusses Israel's postwar history, the lack of a serious peace process since Camp David, Obama's sometimes-encouraging rhetoric on a peaceful two-state settlement, common ground between the anti-occupation Left and foreign policy/military realists worried about disruption of US regional goals, why Palestinians will have a powerful appeal for one person one vote democracy should a two-state solution fail and why parsing the public statements of Israeli officials is like reading tea leaves.
MP3 here. (45:04)
Daniel Luban is a writer based in Chicago. He is a graduate student in political science at the University of Chicago, and previously served as a correspondent for Inter Press Service; he also blogs at The Faster Times. He holds an M.Phil in political thought and intellectual history from Cambridge University and a B.A. in history from Swarthmore College.
4 Responses to "Daniel Luban"
One of the things rarely to never acknowledged about the history of Palestine and Israel is that the State of Israel was created without the consent of the majority of the people living in that area. Never, to this day, has the issue of their consent been seriously, or at all, addressed. This is the critical and fundamental fact: the expulsion of the arabs made concrete what had already been done as an idea.
It's just fascinating to think that right wing defenders of Israel would cite the fact that the Arab parties rejected the UN partition! Of course, that fact means that the founding of Israel was NEVER legitimate, because there was never consent. And in fact, if they want to reference that issue, they should really love Iran's idea that a referendum is necessary. But, of course, after 60 years, Israel is a fact. No one, including Hamas, is disputing that. What is primarily in question is the borders and we see that Israel CONTINUES to illegally expand its grip on land, not even land that is in dispute, but land that clearly belongs to a future Palestine.
See, there's a lot of mystification of the Middle East conflict. It's actually very, very simple. Israel's founding was illegitimate. Virtually it's first act was a crime against humanity, ethnic cleansing. One way or another, Israel must make peace. But for that to happen, they must give up some of their most cherished delusions, starting with the delusion that they are always, always, always the victim in every situation (which, of course, they know is not true, as one can tell from their raging pride in their force of arms). As we know from our own American delusions, such as American Exceptionalism, it's hard to give up a delusion, and just as we would rather bath the world in blood than give up our delusion, Israel would rather drown the Middle East in blood than give up theirs
From the begining, the early Israelis did not see the Arabs as "people." They still do not. It is a part of the european racism they brought with them and it is a part of their religion.

Recurring Role
In this episode, Barney invites all the single girls in Mayberry, to Andy's house. To, supposedly to meet Thelmalou. Not, once but twice. All of the girls show up at Andy's front door. And, all entering the door from camera right. Never, passing in front of the screen door. The steps to Andy's porch, are camera left. So either Andy moved his steps, for this episode. Or, all of these girls were jumping up on the porch from the right.
In this episode, you might notice that Amanda's (the first potential wife to show up at the Taylor home) voice sounds familiar. Janet Waldo, the actress who portrayed Amanda, is better known for being the voice of Judy Jetson in the long running cartoon series The Jetsons.
Barney: You know what they say about a man who keep putting off getting married. They say he starts getting irritable. Yep, that's what they say. Especially a man who's been married once before. He knows he's gonna have to take the plunge again someday, but he keeps putting it off. And the more he keeps putting it off, the more desperate he gets, and the more desperate he gets, the more irritable he gets, and the more-
Andy: Will you shut up?!
Barney: There you see? How irritable you are? Proves my point!
Barney: I've been meddling too much in your personal affairs.
Andy: Oh, now I...
Barney: Please, please. Now, I've been meddling too much in your personal affairs, and the time's come for me to stop it. After all, you're a grown man and certainly don't need the likes of me to advise you or to guide you, to tell you who to go with or who not to go with. It's your life and yours to do with whatever you please with it.
Andy: Well, I appreciate that Barn, and I'm glad you feel that way 'cause I've got something I want to tell you too. I've decided I'm going to court Miss Crump.
Barney: Miss Crump? Are you kidding, Andy? Why she can't even cook a leg of lamb. She said herself she's a terrible cook.
When Barney said "A man whose been married once before". We never revealed Andy's wife's name or how she died throughout the series.
When Andy and Helen are standing together at Thelma Lou's house Barney says "We might just be looking at the next Mrs. Andy Taylor." Old Barn would prove quite the prophet because Miss Crump would indeed become the next Mrs. Andy Taylor in the first episode of the spin-off series Mayberry RFD.

Creator of iconic Porsche 911 diesComment on this story
Staff Porsche in Stuttgart are mourning professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the honorary president of the supervisory board, who passed away on 5 April in Salzburg, aged 76.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller said: "As the creator of the Porsche 911, he established a design culture in our company that has shaped our sports cars to this very day."
Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, eldest son of Ferry and Dorothea Porsche, was born on 11 December 1935 in Stuttgart, into a family dominated by cars - even as a little boy he spent a lot of time in the workshop of his grandfather, Ferdinand Porsche.
He graduated from the prestigious College of Design in Ulm in 1958 and started work in the Porsche design office, where one of his first projects was a plasticine model of a proposed successor to the 356 series.
In 1962 he became head of the Porsche design studio and a year later created a sports-car icon in the 911, a timeless classic that lives on in the seventh-generation 911, almost half a century later. He was also responsible for, among others, the Type 804 Formula 1 racer and the Porsche 904 Carrera GTS, considered one of the most beautiful racing cars ever.
When Porsche became a limited company in 1972 all the family members retired. FA Porsche founded the Porsche Design Studio, and in 1974 moved it to Zell am See in Austria, where he designed classic men's accessories such as watches, eyewear and writing instruments under the brand name "Porsche Design". He also designed industrial products, household appliances and consumer goods for internationally known clients.
Always a functionalist, he said: "Design must be functional, and functionality must be translated into form, without gimmicks that have to be explained. A coherent product needs no embellishment.
"Good design should be honest."
Let that be his epitaph, and a golden rule for those who shape the objects we use every day - especially cars.

Within the past couple of weeks, the Cobbs sold their winery - Karly Wines- and a portion of the vines they've been farming since 1980.
The prominent buyer is Turley Wine Cellars, which also owns wineries at St. Helena in Napa Valley and Templeton in San Luis Obispo County. No price was divulged by either party to the sale.
"We're jazzed," says Ehren Jordan, Turley's director of winemaking and general manager, whose 19th harvest is getting under way. Turley is celebrated for producing the sort of dark, dense and powerful zinfandels for which Amador County also is recognized.
Though Turley has been buying grapes in the Sierra foothills since "1996 or 1997," says Jordan, the winery's principals weren't actively seeking property in Amador County until they met the Cobbs and struck a deal that came about so quickly that not all the paperwork has been completed to permit the grapes being picked today to be crushed at the Karly facilities. As a consequence, they will be hauled via refrigerated truck to the Turley winery in Napa Valley. "This came together more rapidly than we expected," says Jordan. "Larry (Turley) and Buck just hit it off. Larry's a pilot, and Buck's a retired fighter pilot, so they had that in common. And then our thoughts on wine synced up."
|Buck Cobb (2007)
The sale came about so fast, and with harvest commencing, the new owners have yet to settle on their business plan for the property, indicates Jordan. The "Karly" name likely will be retained, at least for non-zinfandel wines like sauvignon blanc, mourvedre, syrah and barbera, the latter a varietal that Jordan never has made but with which Amador County also is being identified; zinfandels from the Cobb site and from other growers in the neighborhood probably will be put up under the "Turley" brand. Cobb's portfolio of zinfandels included such vineyard-designated and proprietary wines as "Sadie Upton," Warrior's Fire," "Pokerville" and "Buck's 10 Point." "I think some of those names will continue. Let me make the wine first and then we will see what to call it," Jordan says. "I've enjoyed Buck's 'Sadie Upton' and I look forward to making 'Sadie Upton' myself."
Jordan isn't sure whether he will expand the five-acre vineyard that Turley acquired in the purchase, but if he does he might put in varieties associated with France's Rhone Valley rather than zinfandel. Turley was attracted to Amador County primarily by its old-vine zinfandel vineyards, and that's what it wants to exploit primarily. Jordan had worked for two years in the northern Rhone Valley, where soils of decomposed granite bear a strong resemblance to what he sees in Amador County, so any enlargement of the vineyard could go in the direction of syrah and the like, he indicates.
While Turley makes zinfandels from other regions, zinfandel from Amador County is distinctive enough to add diversity rather than redundacy to the winery's lineup, Jordan suggests. "Amador has totally different soils. They're granitic, and that's the only place (in California) you find them. Climatically, it's much more rugged - hot in the summer, cold in the winter, with huge dirunal swings in temperature. You get power in the wines from the sunshine, but they also have tremendous acidity," Jordan says.
In recent years, Karly Wines has been producing about 6,000 cases annually. Jordan expects to bottle less than that from this year's crop, but eventually annual production should settle in at between 6,000 cases and 10,000 cases.
For now, the tasting room at Karly Wines is closed pending an anticipated remodeling.
Buck Cobb, in the meantime, is looking forward to overseeing his real-estate interests and to pursuing his passion for fly fishing. "I don't think I'm going to miss the business much, but I'm going to miss the relationships we've developed with customers, wholesalers and others. They've become lifelong friends. I'm going to miss those relationships, but I hope to continue to visit with them. It will be fun to spend time with them socially, without the press of wine business getting in the way."

All eyes will be on Dany Heatley when he steps onto the Xcel Energy Center ice Saturday morning wearing a Wild sweater for the first time.
That likely won't change all season.
Heatley, the biggest acquisition by the Wild since they selected Marian Gaborik first in their initial NHL draft, is accustomed to it. He's one of the top goal scorers in the NHL since 2002-03 and has an $8 million salary this season.
That means instantaneous pressure for the 30-year-old winger from Calgary as Minnesota opens training camp over the weekend, especially when factoring in an injury-plagued 2010-11 season for San Jose that resulted in only 26 goals. That's a better number than anyone on Minnesota's goal-challenged roster managed last season but well short of the 44 goals he averaged in his previous five full seasons.
"It was a tough year," Heatley acknowledged. "Once you've scored some goals, you're always expected to score goals. You learn that from an early age. It drives you."
Heatley, who came to Minnesota on July 3 for winger Martin Havlat, said he was stunned when the Sharks traded teammate Devin Setoguchi and then him to Minnesota just 10 days apart over the summer. But Heatley said he and Setoguchi embrace the fresh start.
"In hockey, you're always challenged at every level," he explained. "You're always looking for motivation somehow. Once you get here, it's no different. You're looking to draw from anything you can just to prove people wrong. That's something I've enjoyed throughout my career, and I'd like to do it again this year.
Heatley, who will never beat Gaborik or any of the other NHL speedsters in a race, has nevertheless always had an ability to score. His former coach at Wisconsin, St. Paul native Jeff Sauer, says Heatley "has the disease" of goal scoring. Heatley scored 50 goals in back-to-back seasons for the Ottawa Senators in 2005-06 and '06-07 and has 325 goals and 364 assists for 689 points in 669 NHL games.
"Dany's a pretty simple player," Setoguchi said. "He goes to the net, he wins battles, he seems to get his stick on a lot of pucks in front of the net and that's how he usually scores, from right in front of the net."
He's also a popular player, despite a few off-ice troubles that have dogged him.
Wild coach Mike Yeo said his phone lit up after Heatley was acquired on July 3.
"People were calling me to tell me what a great guy he is, what a great player he was to coach or what a great teammate he was to play with," Yeo said.
Said Wild owner Craig Leipold: "You ask around the league, Dany Heatley is a really popular player with his teammates, and that says a lot about Dany Heatley. That's the kind of player you want."
Known as a fun-loving guy with an easy smile, Heatley said any controversial reputation is somewhat undeserved. His 2009 request for a trade from Ottawa and his later refusal to accept a trade to Edmonton were blown out of proportion, he insists. But he said he doesn't regret his actions. He also said he's no big partier.
"I've always tried to be careful with that and be responsible with that," he said of drinking. "Never been a problem."
Trouble first met Heatley when a high-speed car accident in Atlanta on Sept. 29, 2003, claimed the life of his best friend and teammate, Dan Snyder. That resulted in three years' probation for second-degree vehicular homicide plus a knee injury that sidelined him for more than half of the following season, and he ended up requesting a trade before moving to Ottawa in 2005.
Winnipeg Jets scout and former University of Minnesota star John Perpich, who scouted Heatley when the franchise was in Atlanta before the Thrashers took him second overall in the 2000 NHL draft, is a big believer in Heatley.
"He went to Ottawa and bounced back," Perpich said. "I don't think that stuff is ever forgotten. It's with you, and he's recovered and got his life back on track and his career back. With another guy, it could be different. He's a character guy."
Heatley is uncomfortable with the topic.
"I don't really want to talk about it that much, but there's no question that something like that changes you. It makes you think different about a lot of things," he said.
He said he left Atlanta for a fresh start.
"It's always in my head," he said. "It's something I've dealt with and continue to deal with and come to terms with."
So new to St. Paul that he walked into a downtown bistro last week wearing a T-shirt, baseball cap and shorts and did not turn a single head, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound Heatley shrugs off any criticism that comes his way from outsiders.
"Teammates, people you work with every day, those are the only people that I really care about," he said.
Heatley, whose father, Murray Heatley, played two seasons in St. Paul with the Minnesota Fighting Saints, admitted the focus and pressure from Wild followers will be on his shoulders "right off the bat. I think as a player that's always what you want, you want that responsibility, you want that pressure, you want people to care.
"I think everyone's kind of labeled the 50-goal thing; once you do that, it's always expected. That would be a nice thing. I don't really like to set goal goals like that. I like to get my game where I like it to be, and if it's at that point, I'll score goals."
Dany Heatley averaged nearly 44 goals per season over five seasons before last season's drop-off.

text: 30 Nov. 45 COL. AMEN: Was there a conversation at this conference about the manner in which these orders for the killings were being executed? LAHOUSEN: Yes. In the course of discussions the entire problem was under discussion including the manner in which these orders were carried out--according to my recollection--by the Einsatzkommandos of the SD. These SD squads were in charge both of singling out of persons in camps and in assembly centers for prisoners of war, and of carrying out the executions. Reinecke also discussed measures regarding the treatment of Russian prisoners of war in the camps. Reinecke emphatically accepted the arguments put forth, not by me but by Müller, and voiced his conviction in very decisive and excessively sharp manner. COL. AMEN: Now, will you explain to the Tribunal from what you learned at this conference the exact manner in which the sorting of these prisoners was made and in what way it was determined which of the prisoners should be killed? LAHOUSEN: The prisoners were sorted out by Kommandos of the SD and according to peculiar and utterly arbitrary ways of procedure. Some of the leaders of these Einsatzkommandos were guided by racial considerations; particularly, of course, if someone were a Jew or of Jewish type or could otherwise be classified as racially inferior, he was picked for execution. Other leaders of the Einsatzkommando selected people according to their intelligence. Some had views all of their own and usually most peculiar, so that I felt compelled to ask Müller, "Tell me, according to what principles does this selection take place? Do you determine it by the height of a person or the size of his shoes?" Müller was very emphatic in rejecting these and any other objections, and Reinecke adopted rigidly the same point of view as Müller, instead of accepting my opinions, that is, those of the Amt Ausland Abwehr, which were offered him as a "golden bridge" for his acceptance. That was essentially the contents of the discussion in which I participated. COL. AMEN: And had you received knowledge about the manner in which these orders were executed through official reports which you received? LAHOUSEN: We were currently informed of all happenings our officials at the front or in the camps. Officers of the Abwehr Division III were active in these camps, and in this way, that is, through the normal service channels, we were informed by reports and oral presentation of all these measures and of their effects.

Torquay United rule out new signings after budget cuts
Posted: October 02, 2010|
TORQUAY UNITED chairman Simon Baker has underlined the importance of the FA Cup as one way in which the Gulls could try to restore manager Paul Buckle's reduced budget this season.
Buckle revealed this week that his budget has been cut, a fact which Baker confirmed.
No figures have been released, but it's believed that Buckle has been operating on a budget of around £1million for some time.
The Gulls' boss still had some money unspent out of that figure, but the shortfall is not now available, at least for the time being.
It seems that more than £100,000 has been taken out of Buckle's budget.
He has described it as "a shock" and "a big blow", adding: "At this moment in time I can't add to the squad."
Baker said: "We are just being prudent, and Paul is now working on a reduced budget.
"It is less than last season's, although that budget was increased at Christmas last year.
"If we are able, either from a pick-up in attendances, commercially or from a Cup run, to increase Paul's budget and take it back up to the original level, then we will."
Cup revenue is nearly always a 'bonus' for any club.
United play a Johnstone's Paint Trophy Second Round tie at Swindon Town next Tuesday, but far more important will be the First Round of the FA Cup on November 7.
Buckle revealed: "At the start of the season, I'm given a playing budget to assemble a squad — it has been the same in the previous three seasons, and I've had no complaints over that.
"The board of directors have always been very good, and I have never gone over budget.
"I know how important the finances are to the club, and this season I decided to keep some money back for if, or when, the team needs some help.
"A couple of weeks ago I thought it might be time to add one or two new faces, but the frustrating part for me is now the budget has been cut, quite considerably, because of some financial restraints the club has off the field.
"It is disappointing, and it does change things, being that at this moment in time I can't add to the squad.
"The club has always been very fair with me, together we have done good things and I'm proud of that.
"Not just the success on the field, but because we all know how hard it is to run a football club, off it as well.
"You can't spend over your means.
"I have raised money through the sales of Matt Green and Mustapha Carayol, and it was hoped that I could then go and replace Scott Rendell, who was a big loss for us with 15 goals last season.
"A total like that needs to be filled.
"Basically, we need to try and push for even more support through the gates at Plainmoor because if you look at us, we have been at or near the top of the league this season, but the crowds haven't reflected that.
"We can't really generate extra money from 2,500 attendances, great though that support is.
"This budget cut has come as a shock to me, but the finances are so important, we have to have a football club and if we have restraints off the field, then they need to be addressed, it is as simple as that.
"I have to pay respect to that situation.
"We have our house in order on the pitch, there is value for money on the field.
"It would have been good to be able to support the squad right now, but if you look at a lot of the teams in and around us, they have more money than we do and bigger budgets to spend."
Buckle added: "I have a good relationship with the chairman and the board, I know the club inside out, I played for the club many years ago and I know the size of the club and the support base.
"It came as a surprise that my budget had to be cut, but that's life.
"I'm certainly not looking to go anywhere else.
"I have a big job to do here, it is a blow, but we will get on with things."
Baker commented: "We have been carrying out a full financial review of the club...but it has already flagged up that revenues as things stand will be down on last year.
"If you look at the first five home games this season, we are 1,700 spectators down through gates, and that equates to something like £15,000-20,000 which, when repeated over the season, will total around £100,000.
"Dean Edwards (commercial manager) has been doing a fantastic job...but it has been tough in the current economic climate to find sponsors, so commercial revenue also looks like it could be a tough time for us.
"There is no pressure on Paul to sell any players, although if a good offer came in, and it was right for the player, then we would, of course, consider it.
"We have put in place some cost-cutting measures, it is well known that the club lost £700,000 the year before last, and £600,000 last year by the look of it."
The record 2008-2009 deficit was given as the reason for the decision to part company with former chief executive Colin Lee in May.
And United are also preparing to replace Plainmoor's old Grandstand with a £1.5 million new development.
The project has just gone before planners at landlords Torbay Council, and the club hopes to start work next spring.
This afternoon Buckle sends his team out at Shrewsbury Town trying to halt a run of five games without a win.

Wild encouraged by season-opening performance
The Wild controlled play much of the night and established a certain style in the season's first game.
By BRIAN HALL FS North
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Matt Cooke really couldn't have imagined his start in a Minnesota Wild sweater to go quite like his first shift in Thursday's regular-season opener.
Cooke, known for his agitating play and not his goal-scoring prowess, scored 64 seconds into the game. He wasn't sure if the goal would be counted, as his forward momentum appeared to have him kicking a Kyle Brodziak shot into the net. The NHL's video officials ruled he didn't use a kicking motion and he received credit for deflecting the shot off his leg.
Cooke said he would have felt better if he or his linemates had figured a way, any way, to score in the waning minutes, particularly on a late shift where Cooke, Brodziak and Mikael Granlund had multiple chances in a scrum in front of the net with the puck bouncing around but couldn't capitalize.
Minnesota ended up losing 3-2 in the shootout to the Los Angeles Kings, its first loss in a home opener in Minnesota. The Wild are now 11-0-2 in home openers at Xcel Energy Center.
"It would have got better if I scored with a couple of minutes left," Cooke said of his first regular-season game with the Wild, who signed the notorious left wing in the offseason. "I think that we went out, we played hard, we played physical, we carried the pace of play. And if we play like that most nights, we're going to win games."
Cooke echoed the sentiment of several of the Wild after the game, pleased with controlling the play much of the night and establishing a certain style in the season's first game.
"I think it's encouraging," Cooke said. "It's the first time we've really been together as a group. We have an identity that we want to have and I think we got to that tonight. The more times we do that, the more times we go out and play like that, the more confident we'll become and the better hockey team we'll be."
Jonas Brodin, who scored two goals in 45 games in his standout rookie season last year, scored on the power play to give Minnesota a 2-1 lead after one period. But Los Angeles tied the game in the third and scored twice in the shootout to send the Wild home with just one point.
"It's funny what that extra point makes you feel at the end of the game," Minnesota coach Mike Yeo said.
A less than satisfying feeling after a game in which the Wild controlled the first two periods and were outshooting the Kings 24-11 into the second intermission. Minnesota outshot Los Angeles 13-3 in the second period, but Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick finished with 29 saves. Niklas Backstrom stopped 16 of the 18 shots he faced, but allowed goals to Anze Kopitar and Jeff Carter in the shootout.
With three new players in the lineup -- Cooke, defenseman Keith Ballard and forward Nino Niederreiter -- joining the revamped crew from last season that saw the acquisitions of Zach Parise, Ryan Suter and Jason Pominville in sweeping changes, the Wild are still trying to establish their identity.
They feel Thursday was a good step.
"That's what we're doing," Yeo said. "We're trying to build. We're trying, we talked about how we want to have a good start. We talked about how you kind of want the mentality how you start the game and how quick you can get to your game and impose your game on the other team, and I thought that we did that really well tonight."
Cooke still wishes he, or Brodziak or Granlund, would have scored on the final frantic shift in the third.
"Yeah, there was like eight guys crawling in the crease and the puck keeps bouncing back to us, but we can't really get a clean shot," Cooke said. "I thought we had it. I thought we'd get a chance, but it didn't go in the net."
For one game, the Wild weren't going to beat themselves up for missed chances.
"I wouldn't say frustrating," Brodziak said about the scramble on goal during the late shift in the third period. "I mean, yeah, it sucks we didn't score, but we created some good chances and we had a chance to potentially win the game. Their defenseman blocks a shot on a wide-open net, it's going to happen.
"We can't get frustrated. We've got to stick with that program we had tonight and know that if we do that, we're going to get a lot of wins."

The hurt, the pain,
The grief still stings,
Since the angels took you,
On their wings.
Never again,
Will we see your face,
You're one of those things,
We can't replace.
I was eight when you were taken,
Too short a time to really know you,
But I knew enough to know,
That I would always love you.
I don't remember much of you mam,
But I'll always remember your face,
And while I'm sad you're no longer with us,
I'm glad you've gone to a better place.
I hope Heaven is all you had imagined it to be,
I hope you're safe wherever you are,
I hope you've found true happiness,
Among all the shining stars.
I know we'll meet up one day,
And I'll get to know you then,
But for now, by way of thought,
All our Love, i send.

This road, also called the Mystery Mile by residents, is said to be haunted.

Kelly Road is not Mystery Mile. Mystery Mile is located as part of Wolfrun Road. Also it is in Industry. I grew up on Kelly Road & have traveled both Kelly & Wolfrun including the part That is called Mystery Mile, at night, & never experienced anything unusual. It got the name years ago when it was laid down. Can not remember details now but something about that they laid down the start of the road & stopped. It was called that because of why would they place it there & not finish. Years later they finished it. But the main part of the road on Wolfrun was used up to where you turn off to go up hill to head towards Midland. I can not remember that roads name. But when the paved it, they extended part of the paving from that point, for about a mile & stopped. The rest, if I remember the story right, was a dirt road that years later, got finally paved. By that time it was known as Mystery & people already, not knowing why it was named, made up tall tales. The only ghost story I heard as a kid was about a girl ghost, hitch hiker that if you stop & she gets in & won't talk & then disappears from your back seat. My Aunt said she had a cousin die there in her teens, during the 70's & she is suppose to be that ghost. None of my other family has seen or heard of any ghosts. My opinion, including the story of the girl, are all false. It was named because nobody knew why they paved a mile of it for no reason & then stopped. People thought it should have stopped at the hill & the rest stay dirt.

In 2012, NASCAR put together a humorous promotional video of less than two minutes titled The Art of Helmet Throwing.
It featured that season's top 12 Sprint Cup drivers playfully throwing helmets at life-sized cardboard cutouts of each other. Clips of drivers taking out their frustrations by doing the same thing at passing cars during real caution periods were sprinkled in the video.
Everyone laughed.
Wonder if Kevin Ward Jr. ever saw the video and got a bad idea from it?
On Saturday night, the 20-year-old Ward joined thousands of weekend competitors nationwide and raced in a sprint-car event at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in upstate New York. The 25-lap Empire Super Sports race was different from all the others in that it included a three-time Cup champion: Tony Stewart.
On lap 13, Stewart and Ward made contact while competing for position. Ward went into a spin and struck the wall.
His car damaged, Ward did what the NASCAR big boys do when they feel they have been wronged during a race. Ward stepped onto the slippery dirt track and pointed while appearing to yell at Stewart as he came back around during a caution. Ward stopped short of throwing his helmet.
Stewart approached Ward in tandem with another car. The first vehicle swerved to avoid Ward, but he was struck by the right rear of Stewart's car and briefly dragged on the track. Ward died from injuries received in the accident.
Maybe Ward was blind with anger at what had happened to a ride in which he had sunk so many resources. Maybe Ward was trying to make a name for himself by puffing out his chest before a famous Cup racer. Maybe Stewart had muddied goggles and never saw Ward.
Those questions may never be answered. What is known is that this does not happen if Ward stays in his car and waits until after the race to confront Stewart in the pits or at his hauler.
This is where NASCAR bears some responsibility. NASCAR can make something positive out of Ward's tragic death with the simple act of ordering drivers to stay in their cars, unless there is imminent danger.
Drivers leaving wrecked cars to play to the crowd by expressing anger at a rival during a caution has become a NASCAR staple in the last generation. Witness the helmet-tossing video.
The key moment in this movement seems to have been the 2002 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Jimmy Spencer spun Kurt Busch into a wall. Busch responded by approaching Spencer's moving car during a caution and grabbing his buttocks as an insult.
Stewart had already used the flamboyant but risky gesture. In 1999 at Martinsville Speedway, Stewart went back and forth with dirt-track rival Kenny Irwin. When Stewart ended up in a wall, he threw his driving gloves at Irwin and tried to climb into his car as he drove past during a caution.
NASCAR allowed drivers do this with minimal penalties because it wanted them to show more personality. It was part of the "Have at it, boys!" command.
Other racers, at lower levels such as Canandaigua Motorsports Park, followed NASCAR's lead. Dirt-track fans talk of teenagers regularly going onto the track searching for revenge during a caution.
Ward's death took place on a track that has no affiliation with NASCAR. The governing body nonetheless can have influence. If NASCAR orders drivers to stay in their cars unless there is imminent danger, other racing groups in this country will follow.
"Hopefully, this does not happen twice," said Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage. "Hopefully, drivers stay in their cars. Hopefully, we have policies about that kind of thing so that we can stop it. Hopefully, all these items never come together again in the same equation."
