After 1st loss, Kittanning's Nolf is only looking ahead
TribLIVE Sports Videos
No longer able to become an undefeated four-time PIAA champion, Kittanning sophomore wrestler Jason Nolf aims to achieve what he considers the next best thing.
Asked whether that means finishing his career with three state titles and one loss, the standout answered, "Exactly."
A loss Friday in the PIAA Class AA semifinals at 113 pounds ended Nolf's career winning streak at 85 and eliminated his chances of earning a spot on the list of four-time champions, which now has 10 members. But it failed to break Nolf's faith in himself.
"I don't want to just be the best in the WPIAL," said Nolf (86-1), who declined interviews over the weekend but agreed to answer questions Wednesday. "I want to be the best in the state."
Trinity junior Ryan Diehl stood in Nolf's way. Diehl, who won two West Virginia state titles as a freshman and sophomore, knocked off Nolf, 6-4, and then claimed his first PIAA title with an 11-5 win Saturday.
Diehl said he considered Nolf the most difficult opponent of his high school career. But Nolf, who ultimately placed third, didn't want to hear such praise. Even yesterday, he declined to discuss that semifinal match.
His eyes are solely on the future.
"I want to learn from the loss and get better at what I didn't do well -- mostly on my feet," Nolf said.
Kittanning coach Brandon Newill has no plans of taking time off. Preparation for offseason tournaments awaits.
"We've got to keep training," Newill said. "We've got to get better on our feet. We've got to stay active. We've got to put more shots together. We've got to re-attack. We're just going to continue to get better. ... Hopefully next year, we'll be at the top of the podium, because that's our goal every time."
Nolf's aspirations for his final two high school seasons aren't unreasonable. Two WPIAL wrestlers lost just once in their careers. In time, both considered the setback a blessing in disguise.
"I'm kind of glad it happened, to be honest," said 2011 Franklin Regional graduate Nico Megaludis, who lost as a freshman in the PIAA Class AAA semifinals. "I think I would've been pretty nervous if I had to go into every big match knowing that if I lost, it'd be over."
Megaludis finished his high school career with a 170-1 record and three state titles. Now a freshman at Penn State, he is the No. 10 seed in the 125-pound weight class at the NCAA Championships, which begin today in St. Louis.
"It made me a better wrestler," Megaludis said of his lone high school loss. "At the time, of course, I was ticked off, and it kind of felt like the end of the world, but I had to start focusing on the matches I had coming up."
His advice to a wrestler in Nolf's position: "Just have fun. ... Everyone comes up to you and asks, 'What's your record?' But honestly, they can't tell much from that."
Ty Moore, a 1990 North Allegheny graduate who lost in the WPIAL final as a junior, echoed Megaludis' sentiments.
"My senior year, I don't think I would've had the same type of season," said Moore, who finished 146-1, won four PIAA titles and continued his career at North Carolina. "It was all about going out and having fun and just wrestling."

A Lebanon dentist was killed in a motorcycle wreck Friday night in Lebanon.
According to Tennessee Highway Patrol reports, Dr. Steven Thaxton, 62, of Lebanon, died after his 1994 Harley Davidson ran onto a shoulder and hit some gravel while going around a curve on Hickory Ridge Road. Troopers said he lost control of the motorcycle and ran off the right side of the road. Thaxton was traveling west at 4555 Hickory Ridge Road near the Bonnie Valley Drive intersection when the wreck happened.
The accident happened just before 9:30 p.m. Thaxton was wearing a helmet.
Thaxton was a dentist in Lebanon for 35 years. He was an elder at First Presbyterian Church, president of the Lebanon Flying Club, an FAA-certified flight instructor and certified flight instructor of instruments. Both he and his son, Paul, were Eagle Scouts. He was also chairperson for St. Jude's Children's Hospital bicycle rodeos and served on several other civic committees.
He and his wife, Brenda, were married for 38 years and had two children, including a daughter, Stefanie.

Pizza Tray Stand is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Leany3 from Simple Pizza Stand Recently bought 6 of the pizza tray stands. Very simple design and reasonably priced. Not only I am going to use them as a pizza stand, I am using them to place a tray of cookies on for a wedding. Also, great to use to set dishes on for picnics so that I can have more room to put things out on my table! Glad to have found them.

The party used to listen to Rove, but most of them have zoomed well past him to the twilight zone of the far, far right.
"Clive has had a fantastic and distinguished career so we listen to what he has to say," he said.
"listen, [Louisiana Gov.] Bobby Jindal makes me nervous," Perry said.
But I had to get clean to even talk about it because nobody wants to listen to a crackhead.
He wants America to look and see, listen and hear and change—now.
They became more angry and infuriated, and refused to listen any longer.
listen to the voice that tries to win you back to innocence and truth!
My poor messmate was, however, far too excited to listen to reason.
He resolved to listen with good grace to any homilies that might issue.
And One greater than Jonah is here, yet they will not listen to him!
Old English hlysnan "to listen," from Proto-Germanic *khlusinon (cf. Dutch luisteren, Old High German hlosen "to listen," German lauschen "to listen"), from PIE root *kleu- "hearing, to hear" (cf. Sanskrit srnoti "hears," srosati "hears, obeys;" Avestan sraothra "ear;" Middle Persian srod "hearing, sound;" Lithuanian klausau "to hear," slove "splendor, honor;" Old Church Slavonic slusati "to hear," slava "fame, glory," slovo "word;" Greek klyo "hear, be called," kleos "report, rumor, fame glory," kleio "make famous;" Latin cluere "to hear oneself called, be spoken of;" Old Irish ro-clui-nethar "hears," clunim "I hear," clu "fame, glory," cluada "ears;" Welsh clywaf "I hear;" Old English hlud "loud," hleoðor "tone, tune;" Old High German hlut "sound;" Gothic hiluþ "listening, attention"). The -t- probably is by influence of Old English hlystan (see list (v.2)). For vowel evolution, see bury. As a noun from 1788 (on the listen "alert").

This fall, IBM® has been keeping IT media, analysts and consumers busy with a virtual avalanche ofannouncements about new and enhanced products. High on the list have been IBM SmartCloud and IBM PureSystems, specifically PureFlex™ Systems and IBM® Flex System Manager™. Here's what we see.
SmartCloud is the family name for the collection of cloud enablement technologies, managed cloud services and cloud business solutions that enable and facilitate an enterprise to move from a virtualized environment to a sophisticated private/hybrid cloud service delivery and management.
The cloud infrastructure enablement solutions are collectively known as the IBM SmartCloud Foundation. These provide the starting point for cloud implementation and management. SmartCloud solutions include SmartCloud Entry (eases the implementation of a basic managed cloud environment), SmartCloud Provisioning (for optimizing virtualized and cloud operations for workloads), SmartCloud Monitoring (monitoring to assure 'right-sized' virtual and cloud infrastructure), SmartCloud Continuous Delivery, SmartCloud Service Desk, SmartCloud Patch Management, SmartCloud APM, SmartCloud Workload Automation, IBM NetCool Network Management, etc.
Each SmartCloud solution uses products chosen from across IBM's software portfolio to solve a particular problem. All have been pre-built and tested to assure smooth integration. This allows IBM to put together exactly the solution the customer wants. The customer can pick and choose which SmartCloud solution to implement when they need it. They can pick among a range of solutions that are also based in cloud and industry standards, so they can work with non-IBM products that adhere to established and emerging cloud and cloud-related standards. For example, they can leverage VMware tools and data from the tools via existing integrations and work in concert with SmartCloud Monitoring.
SmartCloud solutions complement and extend the capabilities of the IBM PureSystems family of intelligent, integrated computing systems. IBM announced enhancements and updates to IBM PureFlex System, IBM Flex System elements and IBM Flex System Manager (FSM). FSM manages all IBM PureFlex System resources from a single management node. It comes pre-loaded and configured with the expertise necessary to manage the assets and capabilities of the system. These all align with IBM's four initiatives: Consolidate. Optimize. Innovate. Accelerate Cloud. Here are a few examples of how:
1) Consolidate: IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and IBM SmartCloud Monitoring ensures
Resiliency and achieves high levels of virtualization density while managing risk as
customers move to IBM PureFlex Systems and seek to reduce costs.
2) Optimize: IBM software enables provisioning, comprehensive image management, storage optimization and security for workloads to improve performance and reliability.
3) Innovate: IBM provides application level instrumentation, business perspective views, event consolidation and a complete view of the client's storage environment.
4) Accelerate Cloud: Leveraging the IBM SmartCloud Foundation portfolio, dynamic
provisioning, charge-back or show-back, and security for virtualized workloads are all
features that help to accelerate cloud deployment and delivery.
IBM Flex System elements enhancements include new chassis configuration, new processor, networking switches, and storage options, as well as a IBM PCIe Expansion node. IBM Flex System elements are the basis for the IBM PureFlex System. It is available for those who want to do their own assembly, integration and testing.
IBM PureFlex System enhancements included chassis-integrated storage, more powerful compute nodes, a variety of network switches and new system configurations. These additions increase the flexibility, enhance scalability, increase capacity, speed throughput and improve overall performance.
IBM Flex System Manager v1.2 enhancements include new functionality, such as support for all the new hardware, rapid deployment and bare-metal install of operating system and hypervisors, remote system management monitoring apps for smartphones (iPhone, Android and Blackberry), a single integrated interface for device configuration and updating workflows and setup wizards that speed initial installation. More details on the enhancement to IBM's PureFlex System appear in our updated whitepaper at www.ptaknoel.com.
Common in the design and development of both PureSystems and SmartCloud is a belief in the transformational power of clouds. Clouds effectively address the need more easily, quickly and effectively leverage IT to achieve enterprise business goals. But to do this, the enterprise must move from traditional modes to data center operation to virtualized infrastructures and then to the cloud. PureSystems and SmartCloud solutions provide the infrastructure, solutions and services to make this happen.
If we sound impressed, it's because we are. IBM has put together a substantive package that helps enterprises move smoothly into cloud operations. And, they are clearly working to live up to their promise to keep improving, enhancing and reducing the complexity of applying these systems and associated software to the achievement of enterprise goals.

Environmental Health 2011, 10:50 doi:10.1186/1476-069X-10-50Published: 24 May 2011
Hexavalent chromium is a known carcinogen when inhaled, but its carcinogenic potential when orally ingested remains controversial. Water contaminated with hexavalent chromium is a worldwide problem, making this a question of significant public health importance.
We conducted an ecological mortality study within the Oinofita region of Greece, where water has been contaminated with hexavalent chromium. We calculated gender, age, and period standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for all deaths, cancer deaths, and specific cancer types of Oinofita residents over an 11-year period (1999 - 2009), using the greater prefecture of Voiotia as the standard population.
A total of 474 deaths were observed. The SMR for all cause mortality was 98 (95% CI 89-107) and for all cancer mortality 114 (95% CI 94-136). The SMR for primary liver cancer was 1104 (95% CI 405-2403, p-value < 0.001). Furthermore, statistically significantly higher SMRs were identified for lung cancer (SMR = 145, 95% CI 100-203, p-value = 0.047) and cancer of the kidney and other genitourinary organs among women (SMR = 368, 95% CI 119-858, p-value = 0.025). Elevated SMRs for several other cancers were also noted (lip, oral cavity and pharynx 344, stomach 121, female breast 134, prostate 128, and leukaemias 168), but these did not reach statistical significance.
Elevated cancer mortality in the Oinofita area of Greece supports the hypothesis of hexavalent chromium carcinogenicity via the oral ingestion pathway of exposure. Further studies are needed to determine whether this association is causal, and to establish preventive guidelines and public health recommendations.

AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf likens Michael Essien to a warrior
AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf has praised new signing Michael Essien for his enormous qualities and likened him to a warrior.
The Dutchman was appointed two weeks ago to stop Milan deteriorating form in the Serie A and he believes the Ghana international can be part of the solution.
"I know him well. He has great character and is a great player. He's a man and a warrior who really wants to make his mark ahead of the World Cup," Seedorf said.
"He'll bring qualities both on and off the field. Essien can play very well in the two midfielders in front of the defence."
Essien has agreed an 18-month contract after being released by English side Chelsea where he spent nine years.
He was down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge this season where he made five League appearances under manager Jose Mourinho.

"I have a lot of work to do here as you can see we are focused on aggravated assaults so that's my main focus and we'll continue to focus on that," said Chief Isom.
[Killeen]: "If that's your main focus is there any consideration whatsoever of retirement in your near future?"
"I'm going to continue to work hard every day until the day I walk out of here my main focus is what I have to do today and not what is in the future. Who knows what our future is so I am working hard to make sure we're doing what we need to do to address crime in the City of St. Louis and to protect and serve the citizens of the City of St. Louis," said Chief Isom.
[Killeen]: "I have to note you don't come right out and say it's out of the question it's a false report. Is there anything to this, and is anyone suggesting you step down?"
"As I said, nobody knows what our future is around here, but my focus is making sure I'm addressing issues within the City of St. Louis," said Chief Isom.
Chief Isom has been chief since 2008, and has been with the department since 1988.

Movie reviews
"The Lone Ranger" and "Despicable Me 2" open today throughout San Diego County. U-T San Diego reviews of both films will appear in Friday's Weekend section but are available now at utsandiego.com/movies
If it weren't for the movie "Home Alone," Armie Hammer might not be starring in "The Lone Ranger." Seeing the 1990 Macaulay Culkin hit inspired Hammer to become an actor.
"I had a dream that night that I was the kid in the house with the blowtorch and all that stuff and thinking, 'This is awesome! I love acting!' " said Hammer, recalling the thoughts of his 11-year-old self. "I knew this was for me. It was the only thing I wanted to do."
He convinced his parents to let him quit high school to pursue his dream, and now the 26-year-old actor is playing one of the most revered American characters in a big-budget blockbuster starring Johnny Depp.
After a bumpy start that included a brief return to school, he already counts Clint Eastwood, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts and David Fincher among his past collaborators. Hammer gained notice playing the Winklevoss twins in 2010's celebrated "The Social Network." Then he earned a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for his supporting role in 2011's "J. Edgar." But with "The Lone Ranger," the actor steps squarely into the spotlight with his first bona fide leading-man role.
"It's like I can't believe I've been this lucky," Hammer says with a sincerity belied by his football-captain good looks.
Though Hammer auditioned for the part several times, director Gore Verbinski knew immediately he'd found his Lone Ranger.
"When I first met him, I just knew he was the guy," said Verbinski, who likened Hammer to "somebody who's a little out-of-time, like seeing Gary Cooper walk into a supermarket or something."
"He's like this classical leading man, and that's not to say that he isn't contemporary," the director continued. "Armie's tall, handsome, and genuine, and who doesn't want to throw that into a meat grinder?"
Hammer plays lawman John Reid and Depp is Tonto in this origin story of how the Lone Ranger came to wear his mask. To prepare for the role, Hammer spent months immersed in all the "Lone Ranger" radio and TV episodes and books and comics he could find, and perfected his gun-slinging and horse-riding skills at a three-week "cowboy camp."
Next up for Hammer: Guy Ritchie's "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," which starts shooting later this summer.

Today marks one year since Former State Representative Dewayne Bunch was critically hurt.
He suffered a head injury while trying to break up a fight between students at Whitley County High School where he taught.
"We're not going to give up on Mr. Bunch," said Alan Sweet, the principal at Whitley County High School.
This day last year is one students, faculty, and staff at Whitley County High School will never forget.
"The day that it happened we were all just so shocked, and I think that it impacted us more than I think we thought it would," said David Sweet, a teacher and friend of Bunch.
Even though Bunch is no longer at the school he taught at and loved, people are keeping him close wearing a shirt in his honor.
"I think it's to show solidarity as a staff, and I think it's important for all of us to remember. It was a pretty traumatic event," said David Sweet.
"I think it's good for us to show our support and show that we're still thinking about him. I think that's the big thing that we just don't forget," said David Sweet.
They certainly remembered him in a moment of silence praying for a man continuing to fight.
"Sometimes it feels like just yesterday, and sometimes it feels like it has been a long time. It's been tough," said Alan Sweet.
Bunch's wife Regina says although he cannot walk or talk, he continues to make progress during his difficult recovery.

[1774] Intestinal Markers Are Expressed in Pancreatic Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors and Associated with Sclerosing Variant
Adam S Johnson, Chanjuan Shi. Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN
Background: Recent literature has shown that cadherin 17 (CDH17) and CDX2 can be used as markers of gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma. However, such markers may not be unique to gastrointestinal tract-derived tumors. A small group of pancreatic well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) have a distinctive histology, characterized by a trabecular or trabecular-glandular cellular pattern with interspersed fibrosis and frequent expression of serotonin (sclerosing variant)—features commonly seen in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SINETs). This study utilized tissue microarrays (TMAs) for analysis of CDH17 and CDX2 expression in PanNETs, including the sclerosing variant.
Design: Institutional approval was obtained for this study. Two TMAs containing 51 PanNETs and one TMA containing 29 SINETs were included in the study. Immunohistochemical labeling for CDX2 and CDH17 were performed on the TMAs. Pathology slides were also reviewed. Fisher's exact test was used for comparison.
Results: As expected, the vast majority of SINETs expressed the intestinal markers. Of the 29 SINETs, 27 showed diffuse and strong membranous expression of CDH17 (93%), and 23 showed nuclear expression of CDX2 (79%). All CDX2-positive SINETs were also labeled diffusely with CDH17. Some PanNETs also expressed the intestinal markers: 5 cases (5/51, 10%) expressing both markers, 16 (16/51, 31%) with only CDH17 expression and 3 (3/51, 6%) with only CDX2 expression. Among the 21 CDH17-positive tumors, the stain was diffuse and strong in 9 cases (9/51, 18%). Five of the 51 (10%) pancreatic tumors were sclerosing PanNETs, all of which (100%) had strong and diffuse expression of CDH17 and two (2/5, 40%) expressing CDX2. CDX2 and CDH17 were more commonly expressed in the sclerosing variant than other PanNETs (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Intestinal markers, CDH17 and CDX2, are expressed in a subset of PanNETs. Sclerosing PanNETs are associated with strong and diffuse expression of CDH17. CDH17 and CDX2 may not be used as markers to differentiate PanNETs from SINETs in patients with unknown primary NETs.

This is the Hg-Git plugin for Mercurial, adding the ability to push to and pull from a Git server repository from Mercurial. This means you can collaborate on Git based projects from Mercurial, or use a Git server as a collaboration point for a team with developers using both Git and Mercurial.
The Hg-Git plugin can convert commits/changesets losslessly from one system to another, so you can push via a Mercurial repository and another Mercurial client can pull it. In theory, the changeset IDs should not change, although this may not hold true for complex histories.
You can clone a Git repository from Mercurial by
hg clone [url]. It will create a
directory with the same name as the last path component. For
example, if you were to run
hg clone
git://github.com/schacon/munger.git it would clone
the repository down into the directory 'munger.git', then
convert it to a Mercurial repository for you.
hg clone git://github.com/schacon/munger.git
If you are starting from an existing Mercurial repository,
you have to setup a Git repository somewhere that you have
push access to, and then run
hg push [path]
from within your project. For example:
$ cd hg-git # (a Mercurial repository) $ hg bookmark -r default master # make a bookmark of master for default, so a ref gets created $ hg push git+ssh://email@example.com/schacon/hg-git.git $ hg push
This will convert all our Mercurial data into Git objects
and push them up to the Git server. You can also put that
path in the
[paths] section of .hg/hgrc and
then push to it by name.
Now that you have a Mercurial repository that can push/pull
to/from a Git repository, you can get updates
hg pull.
$ hg pull
That will pull down any commits that have been pushed to the server in the meantime and give you a new head that you can merge in.
First, make sure that you have a working C compiler on your
system. On Windows, one option is the
free Microsoft
Visual C++. (Be sure to install the 2008 version for
compatibility reasons.) On Debian-style Linux,
apt-get install python-dev.
Secondly, run
easy_install hg-git. If you don't
have easy_install available, you can get it as part of
Alternatively, on Windows, TortoiseHg comes with hg-git (and Dulwich), though it still needs to be enabled as shown below (or through the TortoiseHg settings).
Lastly, make sure the
following is in your
[extensions] hgext.bookmarks = hggit =
...and that's it!
Use this method if you'd like to install a clone of the Hg-Git repository rather than a static package, or if you'd like to install Hg-Git in a location you choose yourself.
First, install version 0.8.0 or newer of
You can do
easy_install 'dulwich>=0.8.0' if you have
installed. Next, clone
the Hg-Git
somewhere. Lastly, make the 'extensions' section in your
~/.hgrc' file look something like this:
[extensions] hgext.bookmarks = hggit = [path-to]/hg-git/hggit
That will enable the Hg-Git extension for you. The bookmarks section is only required prior to hg 1.7. Bookmarks will be translated to git heads when pushing.
Different versions of hg-git are known to work with different versions of Mercurial. For the most accurate info, go to the source on bitbucket, click the dropdown menu that says "default", click the "Tags" tab, select the version you've installed, and click on the file "Makefile". There's a line that starts with "all-version-tests" which lists the versions of Mercurial known to work.
It also needs Dulwich version 0.8.0 or later; Dulwich is a pure-Python implementation of the Git file formats and protocols. There are no Git binary dependencies: you do not need to have Git installed on your system.
Source available via hg (canonical repo) or git (mirror of hg). Patches preferred via email to the hg-git mailing list.

Upcoming Dillard's events
From 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Dillard's is previewing its store as a fund-raiser for the United Way. For $20, shoppers will be let in a day before the new mall opens, have a chance to win shopping sprees, cosmetic baskets, wardrobes and jewelry. Fashion shows, complimentary skincare consultations and free makeup applications will be available. Ticket sales will go directly to United Way. Tickets are available at US Bank, Nevada State Bank, Wells Fargo, John Ascuaga's Nugget and at the United Way office at 811 Ryland Ave. For more information, call the United Way at 322-8668.
Lloyd Boston, author, style expert and television host will have a fashion show at 6 p.m. Wednesday on the second floor of Dillard's. Boston will show off Jones New York Collection, Jones New York Signature and AK Anne Klein and share insider tips to the audience.
Reba McEntire will show her spring line at 7 p.m. Thursday at the second floor of Dillard's. Thirty models will show off clothing and McEntire will make an appearance.
There are 205,000 more square feet of shopping since Dillard's Department Store opened.
That's room for more than 6,000 handbags, 40,000 pairs of shoes and 2,100 men's sport coats. And, to sell the $25 million in merchandise stocked for opening week, 285 sales people, hand-picked by Cliff Heller.
Heller, Dillard's Reno manager, knows merchandise, even women's purses, better than most.
"These bags are hot and such big sellers," said Heller, pointing to a Kathy Van Zeeland metallic bag.
"We won't keep these in stock. My wife has three of these bags. She's going to want this one, too," he said, as he grabbed a black bag with pink lining.
From Fossil, Lucky, Coach and Dooney and Bourke, handbags are just some of the attractions the new store will offer when the Summit Sierra opens Wednesday.
Dillard's is expected to have sales of $50 million the first year. It opened Saturday to the public.
"I think if Mr. Dillard was here, he would say we are the No. 1 department store that has an assortment for everyone," Heller said. "You get bang for your buck with high quality."
Denise Ames, director of special events for Dillard's, said shoppers should expect an upgraded store compared to other Dillard's.
"I think with each store that is opened, we improve upon it."
Executives said this Dillard's has a more open-air feel and includes a lot of technology. Six plasma TVs, three that pop out of cosmetic counters, will show information about merchandise.
Jewelry prices will range from $10 to $150, unlike Macy's, where diamond and platinum selections can cost thousands.
"We look as jewelry as a fashion piece, an accessory," Heller said.
He said new merchandise is brought in daily to Dillard's and at least four or five trucks each week will arrive to stock the store.
"There will be at least a different dress for sale in this store every week," he said. "Sometimes we bright bring in 50 different dresses in a week."

The Manitowoc Board of Education voted Tuesday evening to freeze administrators' wages for the current school year.
- Filed Under
Administrators in the Manitowoc Public School District will not receive a pay increase for the current school year. The Manitowoc Board of Education voted Tuesday evening to freeze their salaries, according to Marcia Flaherty, director of elementary and secondary education. The vote was unanimous with Karen Rohrer and Catherine Shallue absent.
Flaherty, who recently was approved to take over as superintendent when Mark Swanson resigns at the end of the school year, filled in for Swanson on Tuesday because he was receiving an award at The Chamber of Manitowoc County's annual dinner.

The Hartford area provides an opportunity to conveniently live in an urban, suburban, or country setting. No matter where you live, theater, film, music, sports, and restaurants are all within easy reach.
Many local towns retain their New England heritage with town centers and many recreational areas, and there are numerous small and charming rural communities only a little farther away from the city.
Many residents choose to live in the city and enjoy the proximity to the hospitals as well as the many opportunities often found in urban settings. However, the majority of our residents live in West Hartford, a suburb located just four miles from CCMC. West Hartford is known for its selection of restaurants, cafes and pubs and was selected as one of the 10 best cities to live in by Kiplinger Magazine:

Spectrum Media has routinely supported the arts - both in terms of news coverage and in terms of assisting with free or low-cost advertising for arts events. And this editorial board has routinely showed support for the great cultural offerings provided in Southern Utah - from the Utah Shakespeare Festival to the performances at Tuacahn to the St. George Musical Theater.
But we have to question whether an idea before the St. George City Council makes sense both in terms of cost to the city and in terms of broadening the educational offerings in Southern Utah.
The plan involves a proposed partnership between the city and Pathways Educational Foundation. The foundation is asking the city for a $75,000 loan to be put with more than $525,000 in backing from a variety of entities to develop the former Sunroc building on the corner of 400 East and 150 North.
The renovated building would serve as a charter school for Pioneer High School for the Performing Arts, which has its main campus in Lehi. It then would provide a home for cultural events in the evenings - events such as St. George Musical Theater performances.
While we would love to see St. George Musical Theater back on the stage, this plan has two questions that need to be addressed.
First on our list is there really a need for another charter school for the performing arts in Southern Utah? The concept behind charter schools is to provide different experiences by providing themes around which a child can be educated and around which lifelong skills can be learned. Tuacahn High School and Vista School already provide this kind of education in Southern Utah.
If the city is going to spend $75,000 - granted, money it should get back at some point - taxpayers should see the fruits of a real investment. It would seem a charter school that is more focused on the sciences and technology would be a better opportunity for benefits in the long term, especially given the likelihood that Dixie State University will be adding more tech-related fields of study in coming years and the push to recruit high-tech businesses to the region. Our area's next charter school should complement those efforts.
A second question is whether the city should be involved as a lender. That point requires a deeper philosophical discussion, one that area banks and credit unions likely are very interested in.
This plan is in the early stages, and it's too early to draw conclusions, but this is far from a "no-brainer" decision. At this point, it would seem that if the city is going to help any kind of charter school, it should lean less toward the arts and more toward the sciences.

According to New York Daily News, Joan Jett gave Kristen Stewart a really hard time on the set of her new movie "The Runaways". So hard in fact, that it caused Kristen to burst into tears.
It's surprising to hear, because Kristen always seems so tough. They said an insider told them that, "Joan just wants Kristen to play an authentic version of herself, so she needled her a little bit too much. But she apologized when she realized how upset Kristen got.They're like mother and daughter now.â€
Kristen is currently playing Joan Jett in the true life "The Runaways" movie about the "Runaways" who were a successful all girl band group from the 70's that paved the way for other popular all girl band groups to emerge.

History of the 1969-1976 Triumph TR6
The TR6 is beloved of British sports car fans as the last of the traditional hairy chested English roadsters. While it's possible to argue with the precise wording of that statement, the TR6 was certainly antique in many ways when it was introduced in late 1968. A narrow cockpit, separate body and chassis and a bouncy ride courtesy of its rather crude independent rear suspension made it seem in many ways to be little advanced from the TR4 of 1962 or even the TR2 of 1953. On the plus side, Karmann of Germany had done a masterful job of updating the TR4 body shell while actually changing very little. The 2.5 liter straight six while not a powerhouse in emission controlled twin carburetor form had plenty of torque and made some of the best sounds in sports cardom. TR6s are easy to maintain, good-looking, rugged and have easy parts availability. They're an ideal first collector car.Get a quote for this vehicle. < Back to Years

FRC Blogged - Lightning (I couldn't resist)
Hello Teams,
OK, fourth blog this week – a possible record. I had been holding off on this one until we had a quiet week, but that may be never, so here goes.
It took a mountain of information to put together the Einstein report. The digital folder we are using to store all this information 'weighs in' at over 800 MB. This includes everything from team reports and code, to expert feedback, to data logs, and more. It also includes what I think is an interesting report on the lightning we had near the venue while the matches were going on. The Einstein report notes there was a possibility that an external RF event could have caused one of the shorter disruptions we saw. We didn't have enough information to say 'yes, it was the lightning', but I wanted to share the report we reviewed. You can find it here. If you count them up, you'll see we had about 600 lightning strokes within a 10 mile radius of the dome during the three hours of the closing ceremonies (the report itself covers a longer time period, that's why it lists 1,201 strokes) .
One more note – this report is copyrighted by the Vaisala Group, but we got special permission to share it with you here.
I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.
I'm a very big fan of HQ pushing the limits of being very open about all of this information. Are there other avenues to have a discussion about further improvements to the field besides the mystery email addresses? A chat would be great! But it is understandable if it is not an option. Thanks for all of the information.
Hi Conor. I hope the email address for feedback isn't a mystery! It's firstname.lastname@example.com. If you're referring to the fact that folks aren't getting replies, as Jon said in his note introducing the Einstein report, you should not necessarily expect a direct response. However, I promise you every email is getting reviewed. We recognize this system is not ideal, and we are working on improvements. Also, it's my intent to produce a follow-up report to the initial Einstein report showing our progress. Believe me, we are very busy with all this.
Storm at championships
I never traveled to the championships, but on the few days it was their, I remember seeing on the news that a tent/canopy at the baseball (I believe it was there) had collapsed from the storm that was in the area. Glad there weren't any major disasters for ya'll.

'Twas some weeks before Christmas, and all across FM,
It was holiday music -- from beginning to end.
Now I love some Andy, some Perry and Bing,
But Mannheimed and Burl Ived, I needed new things.
If you're in the same boat, here are six that had my time.
And don't worry, readers. I'm done with this rhyme.
"Christmas with Scotty McCreery," Mercury Records. The little guy with the big country voice who won the 10th season of "American Idol" throws rockabilly and boogie-woogie behind his deep Randy Travis tones in mostly traditional tunes. "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" are pure fun, and there's the obligatory country tear-jerker in "Christmas in Heaven."
"Holidaydream," The Polyphonic Spree, Kirkland Records. "Arrangements are twisted," promised the press materials from this Dallas, Texas, band known for its "theatrical live performances." Twisted? Dreary. Every song is dreary. A dreary "Silver Bells"? Yes, it's possible. Hipsters who find the season just too ironic can mull the vast irony of it all while listening, but I don't need my melodies "morphed," "spacey" or "shape-shifting."
"Christmas in the Sand," Colbie Caillat, Universal Republic Records. Sunny and sweet like a trip to the beach, with nothing really remarkable from the 2007 "Bubbly" hitmaker. But "Bubbly" is a perfect description for most of the tunes, especially "Every Day is Christmas.
"This Christmas," John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, Universal Music. The stars of the 1978 movie classic "Grease" reunite to make some money. That's got to be the reason, because it sure wasn't to make music. My niece, who was helping me wrap gifts while we listened, put it best: "I'd rather watch 'Grease 2' than listen to this." Guests Tony Bennett and Count Basie Orchestra almost save "Winter Wonderland" though.
"On This Winter's Night," Lady Antebellum, Capitol Records. The country trio's harmonies are well-suited to this tasty collection of holiday tunes. It makes sense that the best songs on the CD by this group that made its name with the heartbreak song "Need You Now," are holiday songs of yearning: "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" and "All I Want for Christmas Is You." The title track is a nice addition to the annual holiday music rotation.
"Merry Christmas Baby," Rod Stewart, Verve Records. Rod Stewart's holiday music is like his scratchy wool voice -- warm and comfortable to some, itchy and intolerable to others. Fans will dig it, but it's unlikely to win Stewart any new ones. There's a nice duet with Michael Buble on "Winter Wonderland." In fact, the duets are the best part of this collection of 13 songs, especially "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" with Ella Fitzgerald. Of course, wool is less scratchy in a blend.
HOMEGROWN HOLIDAY CDs ARE BEST OF THE BUNCH
The Grammy-winners and radio mainstays can't hold an evergreen-scented candle to the two best new holiday releases, which were hatched right here in Minnesota: "The Star Carol" by SimpleGifts and "Holiday Lights in the Park" by various Minnesota musicians.
SimpleGifts, led by guitar virtuoso Billy McLaughlin, is celebrating 10 years of producing acoustic Christmas music. The ensemble's name says it all. Each sweet, simple tune on "The Star Carol" feels like a carefully crafted present. My favorite is "Labor of Love." The group is performing at Lakeville Area Arts Center on Tuesday, Dec. 18, and in the Marine-On-St. Croix Town Hall Thursday-Sunday, Dec. 20-23. For times and ticket prices, go to simplegiftsmusic.net.
The "Holiday Lights in the Park" CD is the best of the four volumes that have been produced annually as the "official soundtrack" of the drive-through lights display at Phalen Park in St. Paul. There's not a bad tune among the 15, but highlights include John Trones and Joanna Jahn channeling Richard and Karen Carpenter in "Angels We Have Heard on High"; the New Standards' "Christmas Time Next Year"; True North's rendition of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's bombastic "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)"; and Owl City's "Peppermint Winter.lightsinthepark.org.

I believe all horses (including the untrained selection ones) are available for purchase at the competition. In the past trainers have purchased some of the horses and continued with their training.
Their "owner" is a large horse stud who provides all the horses. I'd imagine they have trainers of their own to continue the education if unsold.

NBFF Recommendation of the Day: I'll Be Me, Glen Campbell Documentary
I'll Be Me Glen Campbell performs in 2012 during what would become his final tour.
A great film can force a whole range of emotions to sweep over a viewer by the time the end credits roll. I'll Be Me, a documentary on the heartbreaking decline of country music superstar Glen Campbell, certainly did that to me and not only because someone near and dear to me died while suffering from Alzheimer's.
Directed by James Keach, who despite 27 directing credits I'll forever remember as the cop who pulls Clark Griswold over in National Lampoon's Vacation, I'll Be Me will have you laughing, sniffing, feeling sympathetic, feeling disgusted and above all else moved.
It begins with Campbell and his fourth wife, Kim Woollen, looking at home movies. He struggles to put names to the faces of his own children, and does not even know one lady was Billie Jean Nunley, his second wife and the mother of three of his eight children.
I'll Be Me, which makes its West Coast premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival this evening, made its world premiere earlier this month at the Nashville Film Festival, just days after Woollen moved Campbell into an Alzheimer's care facility in town "for his own safety."
That's no surprise given what you see during the days before, during and after what would become Campbell's farewell tour in 2012. He was a handful then, and you could see how his temper, triggered by the frustration of dealing with his disease, could easily put him in harm's way.
And yet, I'll Be Me is not a total downer. Archival footage lets us remember the Campbell who ruled the pop entertainment world. Even today, or at least back in 2012, he shows flashes of his infectious cornball humor, love of people and movie star good looks. More amazing were his pitch-perfect singing voice and masterful guitar work, which a doctor theorizes were so well honed, the parts of Campbell's brain that control them will be the last to go.
A high point in the film is Campbell performing "Rhinestone Cowboy" at the February 2012 Grammys. A low point is the final show of his tour nine months later in Napa. I don't know if Woollen and her children with Campbell--sons Cal and Shannon and daughter Ashley, who performed in their father's back-up band--came in for criticism for taking an ailing man on tour. I suspect they did.
But, at least as presented by Keach, Ashley and especially her mother come off as patient, heroic even, leading him to the one place where he could still experience bliss: the stage. He was greeted by loving ticket buyers willing to roll with forgotten lyrics and songs played in the wrong keys. Cal and Shannon, who come off more like sidemen than siblings, should have been featured as prominently as their mother and sister. Perhaps that's the fallout from the camera drinking up the attractive blondes.
Who ever would have figured "cards and letters from people I don't even know" could be applied to Glen Campbell's family members?
I'll Be Me screens at 5:15 p.m. at South Coast Village Theater in Santa Ana.

How Would You Like Your Steak?
Steak is delicious and has tonnes of nutrients to offer you, but deciding how you want to cook it or have it cooked is a challenge.
Next time you go out to a meal and order a steak be prepared to answer how you want your steak cooked. You don't want to sit there like a fool and not know the ways a steak can be cooked. Also, if you don't know what the difference is between the rare and well done, you could be missing out. The same goes for if you are cooking it yourself.
The cooking times are for 1 inch steaks at high heat on a grill*
Well done- Well done is when the steak has the same color throughout the entire piece of meat, all grey/brown that is. It is really tough and chewy, and in my opinion lacks in flavor and is too dry. I would advise against getting a well-done steak, unless you are finicky with having your steak red colored. Cook-time: 8-10 minutes a side.
Medium-Well- Is basically the same thing as well-done, but it has a little bit of pink throughout the center. Also, it is a bit more moist and flavorful. Cook-time: 7-9 minutes a side.
Medium- Is pink throughout the majority of the steak. If you are grossed out by steak juices this is best for you, as you don't see much of them, but you still get a decent steak. It is more tender than the well-done one and is more juicier. Cook-time: 6-7 minutes a side.
Medium-rare- Is pink throughout the steak and red throughout the center. More moist and tender than the medium. Cook-time:5-6 minutes a side.
Rare- Is red throughout the entire steak. In my opinion this is the perfect way to cook a steak. It is juicy, tender, and warm all the way through. I also find it to have the best flavor of all the ways to cook steak. Cook-time:4-5 minutes a side.
There are more ways to cook a steak, like blue and such, but I am not going to dive into those areas, because most people like to have their meat warm all the way through. And also, different types of steaks require different cooking times, and have different "cooking names" so be weary of that as well.
Enjoy your steak the next time you have one.

This is informative. I recalled I ordered a medium rare kangaroo meat in Darwin once. I think I made the wrong choice.
