MUNCIE -- All Brandon Crawford ever asked was that he be given an opportunity to show he could play in the National Football League. The New York Giants have granted his wish.
Crawford, a former Ball State football player, has obtained a spot in the Giants' post-draft mini-camp this weekend in East Rutherford, N.J. Crawford was not selected in last week's three-day NFL draft.
"All I needed was an opportunity," Crawford said. "It's really surreal now. I'm trying to take it all in. I'm really grateful to have the opportunity. Through all the hard work, somebody is going to give you a chance." ...

Back in the days, when I was 6 years old, I played that game on and on and really liked the credit/end theme. But you always had to beat the whole game to listen to this song. - Now, after 2 decades, I listen to this song above and I'm feeling the nostalgia flowing through me.

The Oklahoma Stockdog Association,
was created in the 1986 from a group of
interested dog trialers and herding enthusiasts. The new association held its first
trial at the 1986 Oklahoma State Fair. It is comprised of people and dogs that work
both cattle and sheep. The Association was active in providing help for the
USBCHA National Sheepdog Finals when they were held in El Reno in 1999 and
2000 and has a strong showing at the Tulsa and Oklahoma State Fair dog trials
each year. Although still a small club, the members are active and provide a good
showing with their dogs at various trials in Oklahoma as well as Missouri,
Arkansas and Kansas. The club provides playdays and information for folks that
are interested in getting into stockdogs, either trained or just a puppy.

Jason Dufner only wants to play golf maybe five more years
More Golf: Leaderboard | Rankings | Schedule | Equipment | FedEx Cup | Tiger Woods
We're going to miss you, Jason Dufner.
Oh, you're not gone yet. But you're leaving soon?
According to SB Nation Dufner (who is 37 years old) doesn't want to play competitive golf much longer.
"I'm not going to be one of those guys who plays on the senior tour; it's not for me," said Dufner. "[I have] maybe another five years left of doing this [playing professional golf] and then onto something else."
Something else like posing for elementary school children in a nondescript manner? Or maybe going around the country taking selfies?
Whatever it is, golf will be worse off without Dufner in it.
He also told SB Nation which tournament he most wants to win before hanging 'em up.
"The national Open. I always remember thinking the US Open would be a good fit for my game. I still feel that way...a US Open would be nice, for sure."

EBA's top 10 stories of 2012
Despite a night that was to be focused on foreign policy at the third and final presidential debate October 22 in Florida; health care reform still came up with Gov. Mitt Romney saying he would balance the budget in part by eliminating President Barack Obamas signature Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But was that a fair claim? The editors at Bloomberg News Service checked the facts.
[Image: Bloomberg]
There are a lot of folks in our industry either in serious denial or acting like frightened ostriches. In a recent issue of EBA EBA Contributor Nelson Griswold wrote that "Obamacare" just doesn't matter ... if you are willing to reinvent your agency to both adapt to the new realities and capitalize on the new opportunities.
[Image: Thinkstock]
Forty-seven million women will now have access to eight new prevention-related health care services under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced in August.
[Image: Thinkstock]
The White House was forced on the defensive in early April as it sought to explain controversial remarks President Barack Obama made earlier in the week about the Supreme Court's review of his signature health care reform law.
[Image: Matt H. Wade]
Employers share some of the blame for rising health care costs, but they also have the ability to dramatically cut those costs with a few simple steps, according to a speaker at the 2012 Employer Health & Human Capital Congress in Washington.
In a move that could herald a sea change in health benefits, Sears Holdings Corp. and Darden Restaurants, Inc. in 2012 will begin allowing employees to purchase health insurance through a private insurance exchange.
[Image: Thinkstock]
Benefits are typically structured to reward and motivate employees who stay at the company for the long haul. For example, retirement rewards and paid time off usually get sweeter as time goes on. Dangling a long-term benefits carrot makes sense for driving retention right? Perhaps not when it comes to Gen Y workers.
[Image: Thinkstock]
The Hartford's recent announcement to divest its retirement division has more to do about the economy and the parent's corporate direction, perhaps instigated by an activist investor, than it does about the quality of its retirement business.
[Image: Thinkstock]
Health care law expert Mark C. Nielsen of Groom Law Group discusses the adverse effect on brokers of the Supreme Court ruling and how 75% of the law is not yet implemented, reminding the industry of the long road ahead.
[Image: Bloomberg]
The employee benefit consulting arm of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. has launched a private insurance exchange platform. Benefits available through the Bright Choices Exchange include health, dental, vision, life and disability coverage, among other benefits, from various national and regional insurance providers.
[Image: Thinkstock]
2012 was a year full of health care news, with most of it focused around the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Are you familiar with these top ten stories of 2012?

Weekly area rankings, notes, events to watch in high school girls basketball.
Ranking | Team | Last week
1. Sussex Hamilton (8-0) 2
2. Milwaukee Riverside (4-4) 8
4. Milwaukee Pius (9-1) 4
5. Milwaukee King (6-1) 1
6. Heritage Christian (7-1) 5
7. Oak Creek (6-1) 6
8. Waukesha West (7-0) 7
9. N.B. Eisenhower (8-1) 9
10. Brookfield Central (6-1) 10
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Michelle Farrow, Waukesha West. The senior guard has been dialing long distance a lot lately, sinking 17 threes in the last four games. The high point was a season high 25-point effort in a 55-32 victory over Waukesha South Tuesday. She hit 7 threes in that game. She followed that with a 22-point effort and 4 threes in a 62-35 victory over Catholic Memorial Friday. The Western Illinois recruit leads the team with an average of 15.1 points per game.
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Milwaukee Riverside. Now this was the Tigers team we expected to see at the start of the season. After a slow start, Riverside finished the calendar by winning three of its last four games, punctuating the run with an 87-59 victory over then-No. 1 King Saturday. Senior center Breanna Lewis led the way with 28 points, 22 rebounds and six blocks, and sophomore guard Amani Wilborn finished with 21 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Next up for Riverside is a week and a half off from games followed by contest against Milwaukee Vincent (Jan. 4) and Heritage Christian (Jan. 8).
COMMITTED: Oak Creek's Morgan Kokta committed to Division III UW-Oshkosh, according to Wisconsin Impact co-director Holly Spoo. Kokta, who plays with Impact during the off-season, averages six points and four assists per game. She is the second area player to commit to Oshkosh recently. Divine Savior Holy Angels forward Maggie Novak will play there as well.
IN GOOD POSITION: Whitefish Bay Dominican graduated standouts Dilonna Johnson and Deysha Smith-Jenkins. Nonetheless, the team has established itself as the team to beat in its conference again. The Knights already have victories in the Metro Classic over contenders Racine Prairie (64-52) and Racine St. Catherine's (42-27) and grabbed neighborhood bragging rights over Whitefish Bay Saturday with a 46-39 victory.

Movie review: Illustrator Steadman more interesting than movie about him
Ralph Steadman is a fascinating artist, but the documentary "For No Good Reason" doesn't do much to draw out what makes him fascinating.
Steadman, now 78, is best known for his illustrations for Hunter S. Thompson's gonzo journalism, such as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." He talks about his collaboration and many drunken, drug-addled misadventures with the out-there Thompson, which followed the artist's youthful ambitions to "change the world" with his acid-dripped political cartoons.
Filmmaker Charlie Paul tries dressing up the proceedings by animating Steadman's best-known illustrations, and by having Steadman pal (and frequent Thompson portrayer) Johnny Depp visit the artist in his studio. Alas, Depp turns out to be a lousy and uninteresting interviewer.
The best moments come when Steadman practically commandeers the film away from Paul and Depp, as he shows off his splatter-inspired artistic techniques.
'For No Good Reason'
Opens Friday, July 11, at the Tower Theatre; rated R for language, some drug content and brief sexual images; 89 minutes.

Series: See Dad Run
See Dad Run is a sitcom reserved for the Nick At Nite block that premiered on October 6, 2012. It tells the story of an actor named David Hobbs (Scott Baio) who has just finished his own sitcom acting as a dad, and then he is presented a new personal trial that he fears the most: acting as a real dad for his family while his wife, Amy Hobbs (Alanna Ubach), can get back to the spotlight as the soap-opera star she was.Will end its run after the third season.
This series provides examples of:
- Callback: The 1,000 piece tool set from the Christmas episode shows up in a later episode when David tries to build a tree house.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: All episodes are named "See Dad (do something)".
- Laugh Track
- Product Placement: In See Dad Meet Matthew Pearson, David is seen playing Wii Sports.
- Show Within a Show: David's old sitcom, which was also named See Dad Run
- Spiritual Successor: Arguably for Baio's best-known sitcom, Charles in Charge
- Title Drop: Partly thrown into all the titles of the episode, the only difference being that the first two words are used along with the episode's main event.
- Also invoked whenever David's old sitcom is in turn invoked, which itself was also named See Dad Run.

Soundcard digital pathways?, If you skip the DAC are they 'perfect'?

I was wondering,
If you use a soundcard's digital out and tell it not to equalize/eax/otherprocessing, is the digital quality 'perfect'?
Case in point I have a professional DSP hooked up to my SB audigy's digital out. If I were to upgrade the audigy (not that I have the $$$ but for argument's sake ), would I get any improvement in the sound quality of my mpc audio playback?
Basically I hear some 'stories' from people that say 'yes' to the last question but I find it hard to believe that the digital ".wav" data from winamp would get distorted by the sound card that's hooked up to it. provided of course I don't use the onboard DAC's or some hardware DSP feature like resampling or spatialisation crap, but Im telling my computer to have all EQ's off and just play back the file.
Anyone know the answer here?

You know all this bitperfect stuff?
While I agree that you don't want your soundcard mangling what's sent to it, I'm not sure bit-perfect output of 44.1kHz sampled content is the best you can do.
If you're as concerned about sound quality as puntloos says, surely it's much better (at least in theory) to resample to 96kHz 24bits using a high quality resampler (e.g. those in foobar2k) and send that to your sound card. (Obviously you want the 24/96 fb2k output to be transferred, bit perfect, via the sound card to your outboard DAC).
I'm not claiming an audible difference, but there's certainly a measurable difference. You get a very sharp anti-alias filter at 22.05kHz - much better than you'll find in any DAC, even those with serious oversampling included.
Sorry you're having trouble puntloos. The M-audio cards do integrate into windows differently from many other cards, specifically to allow propper control and bit-perfect output. On my audiophile 2496, it's all quite logical. You need to send output to the digital output to get digital output because it's a separate output. I don't have any further insights though - I haven't used ASIO.

ASUS' entry-level Transformer Pad sacrifices quite a bit in the name of price, but you still get a speedy, well-designed Android tablet that can serve as a basic laptop in a pinch.Read the full review →
As low as
A speedy budget tablet with a few sacrifices
Spend enough time with the TF103C and it's patently obvious why it only costs $299. ASUS has whittled the dockable tablet down to the essentials, with just about every luxury tossed aside; you won't find a breathtaking display, good cameras, long battery life or video output. What's left, though, continues to be tempting. This is a brawny tablet for the money, whether or not you use the netbook-like functionality all that frequently. If you do, it might even be an ideal laptop substitute. The Transformer Pad is more expensive than the cheapest Chromebooks, but it's slightly faster and carries an abundance of native apps.
You do have to ask whether you need the keyboard at all, though, and that's the real dilemma -- many people don't. If you're no fan of the Transformer concept, the TF103C won't change your mind. The savings from passing on the keyboard can be rolled into a tablet that may not be as good at productivity, but could easily be superior for books, games and movies. Give the Transformer Pad a close look if you're at least mildly curious about the dock; just be sure to keep its competition in mind before you take the plunge.

The risk would be that they cannot achieve 5% operating margins next year. They divested a large chunk of fairly tightly integrated revenue. They seemed confident that the plan they had would allow them to get to 5% in FY2012.
They are growing 10%-15% YOY not sequentially QOQ. You have to break out last years results for Canvys and EDG then add the growth because obviously a big piece has been divested.Mar 7, 2011. 09:08 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Då vi valde en guidad tur tidigt på morgonen, så var vi praktiskt taget ensam i korridorerna. Pga detta fick vi fina foton, och tid att hinna lyssna till alla intressanta berättelser av en kunnig guide.

So I'm about 5 weeks into a 16 wk HM training plan. I'm supposed to be running a 10 mile long run this Sunday but got talked into running a local 10K race with some friends this Sunday instead. As it's early in the plan, should I not worry about missing the long run? Or should I do an easy 3-4 miles after the race to top up the miles?
It depends. Is this your first HM? Have you done lots of 10m long runs? Or is this your first?
I've done 2 mile warm-ups and cool downs after 10ks to squeeze in some extra miles. If you think your fitness is there, then go for it. Otherwise, just race the 10k, do a reasonable warm-up and cool-down, and don't sweat it. A few miles won't make or break the race, and the 10k will be a good guide as to where your fitness is.
Mile: 5:38 (2015) | 5k: 19:49 (2015) | 10k: 42:53 (2015)
Yes, first half and first 10M run.
I am in the same situation for this Sunday: 17.5 mile long run on the schedule (week 6 of an 18-week HM plan) but I will be racing a 10K. My solution is to add a recovery run of about 4-5 miles later that day and call it good. With plenty of long runs yet to come I'm sure when my goal HM rolls around in early September this small deviation from plan will have faded into insignificance.
For you, since the 10K and whatever warm-up running you do prior to the race will leave you with a mere ~3-mile shortfall from your scheduled 10 mile LR, I wouldn't worry about it. Do the recovery run if you want, or maybe tack on a mile to a few of your other workouts in the ensuing week to make up the shortfall. Either way no significant difference.
Next Up:
Phoenix Marathon 02/27/16
1 mile-ish warm up, 10 k race, then another 3 easy afterwards is what i'd do.
Current PRs: 5K: 19:18 10K: 39:49 HM: 1:26:492015 HM: 1:29:59 1:25:59
Make some minor adjustments to your schedule to allow for recovery. Your overall mileage is more important than a single long run. I'd actually advise against trying to add 3-4 miles after the race to get to 10 miles for the day. That would be a huge overload since the race is run at much faster than easy/long run pace.
An "epic" journey: From Miler to Ultra Marathoner Blogs
12/28/2015 - Across the Years 24-Hour, Phoenix, AZ
I am in the same situation for this Sunday: 17.5 mile long run on the schedule (week 6 of an 18-week HM plan) but I will be racing a 10K.
Not to try and high-jack this thread, but at 17.5 mile LR for a HM...isn't that a little overkill?
~Run Wicked~ Next up: Winter maintenance & 2015 race planning
2014 Goals: 5K 20:59 10K 42:59 HM 1:34:59
No. It might be a little overkill for a 5K, but not a half marathon. A long run of that length implies weekly mileage of around 70 which is not unreasonable when training for a HM. It's not unreasonable when training for a 5K either, but the mileage distribution would be different.
Substituting a 10k race for a 10 mile long run won't make a hill of beans difference in your overall training. Don't sweat it. In fact, you'll probably get more benefit from the 10k, as a kind of hardcore tempo run.
In some cases, I was following a fast running, good looking, seductively clad woman. In others, I was making a half-hearted attempt to do speed work, despite my absolute hatred of it. In any case, the following results are intended for entertainment purposes only, not because I'm trying to be the next Speed Racer of running.
mile - 6:48 (9/17/13)
3k - 13:20 (9/3/13)
2 miles - 14:12 (11/14/13)
3 miles - 22:40 (9/21/13) - 22:22 (1/26/14)
5 miles - 38:04 (11/22/13)
10k is 6.2 miles. Mile or so warm-up, mile or so cool down, you're getting up towards ten miles anyway. Add a longer cool down if you like.
The odd small deviation from a plan is not going to make any difference to a race. Stressing too much about deviating might, though. Don't worry about it, you're doing the work and you'll be perfectly well prepared come HM day, so just go out and enjoy the 10k.
Thanks for all the feedback, guys. Think I'll go with warmup and race, and possibly throw in an easy 3 mile run later in the day assuming everything is feeling good.

We have decided to get a second opinion, because the drops would be so much more convenient to do at home.

Also, does insurance typically cover this type of allergy therapy? Thanks!

What It Is
What It Is
The LEGO Hogwarts Castle is a replica of the castle from the Harry Potter movies. This two-sided playset features a lot of different surprises and moving pieces you'd expect, such as a vanishing cabinet tower, a sliding staircase, and Sirius Black's face in the Gryffindor common room fireplace, a LEGO replica of what kids love from the books and movies. The playset features several familiar rooms from Albus Dumbledore's office to the Great Hall. There are 11 minifigures, including Harry Potter, Hermione, Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore, Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Argus Filch and Mrs. Norris, and two Dementors. The playset includes 1,290 pieces.
Why It's Fun
The amount of detail and the LEGO interpretation of familiar elements in this playset is astounding. Kids will love exploring the different rooms and discovering Tom Riddle's book hidden in knight's armor or the sorting hat in Dumbledore's office. This set will really inspire kids as they build and play to create their own Harry Potter experience.
Who It's For
Hogwarts Castle is great for Harry Potter fans and LEGO fans. The recommended age is 8—14, but even adult Harry Potter fans will want to own this set as a collector's item.
What to Be Aware of
There are a lot of pieces in this set, so building the castle may take some time. Luckily, building is part of the fun of LEGO.
The high price tag on this building set isn't just for the vast amount of pieces. Hogwarts Castle is a quality, highly detailed building set with tons of play value for kids.

The winter cycling ensemble looks awesome, no matter what my friends say.
- Filed Under
A lot of people have been telling me how strong and fit I've been looking lately.
And when I tell them that it's because I've been adhering to a disciplined regimen of winter bicycling, they always say, "Wow, you're like Superman. How do you do it?"
OK. None of that is true except for two words, "winter bicycling." I have been doing it. But I'm not disciplined about it. I'm not looking strong and fit. Pasty and doughy is more like it. And nobody has really asked me about it, except when someone yelled from a passing car, "What are you doing on the road? Get on the sidewalk!"
The truth is winter bicycling is about as much fun as it sounds. It's cold, dark and dangerous, and the only reason I do it is because it's about the most convenient outdoor fitness activity available to me this winter.
Two strategies have helped me contend with it.
Strategy one: I lie to myself. I tell myself that it's fun and challenging to ride a bike on icy streets. And having to deal with the elements makes me much tougher than riding some wussy stationary bike in my basement. When the summer comes, I say, look out, because I'll be in great shape.
I also tell myself riding through the snow on unplowed bike paths is fun and challenging, too. A lot of people walk on these trails, and pack down the snow. That's nice, except it throws off my balance, and I tend to veer wildly into the untracked snow. I tell myself that's cool, too, because the snow flies into my face. It's also tough to pedal in that snow, so I tell myself I'm building muscles and balance skills that will, again, serve me well when the summer biking season comes.
My final lie to myself is that the more I ride in winter, the more comfortable I get with it and the more normal it seems, and the more fun it becomes.
I'm such a good liar that I've begun to believe it myself, and I've been toying with the idea of buying a new, $1,300 fat tire bike, which, I've been told, helps float across the snow and often is used on off-road trails.
Strategy two: Get a cool helmet and goggles. I bought a downhill ski helmet to wear bicycling because it has insulated ear flaps. They're wonderful. Goggles also help a lot, because once temps get below 15 degrees, my eyes tear up and icicles form on my eyebrows. The ensemble is awesome, and when I'm wearing it, I look like I'm going to quell a riot or am chasing down someone from the Taliban, except that I'm also festooned with a variety of blinking lights.
I still can't wait for summer.

D.A.'s office gets identity theft grant
Last month, the California Attorney General's Office awarded the Yolo County District Attorney's Office $56,805 from the Attorney General's "Privacy and Piracy Fund."
This program provides funding to District Attorneys' offices throughout the state. The funding must be used to investigate and prosecute identity theft and intellectual property theft. Intellectual property theft is also known as piracy.
According to Lt. Pete Martin, who supervises the District Attorney's High Tech Unit, the Unit investigates numerous identity theft cases and counterfeiting cases every year. Funding from this grant is used to train digital forensic investigators and purchase forensic equipment for the High Technology lab.
One example, reports the Yolo D.A.'s office, is a recent elder abuse case in which the bookkeeper embezzled over a half a million dollars from an elderly woman. The high tech investigator was able to prove that the bookkeeper fraudulently created and back dated documents on her computer, which eventually led to her conviction.
District Attorney Jeff Reisig expressed his gratitude for the state funding. "These kinds of cases are becoming more common," he said in a press release. "This grant will allow the District Attorney's Office to continue our efforts to protect our community from identity theft and intellectual property theft."

Bill Kristoff seeks another term
Editor's note: This interview with city councilman Bill Kristoff is part of the News-Ledger's election-season coverage. We've published interviews with each of the people running for election to the West Sacramento City Council and local school board. We hope these features have helped you make up your mind whom to vote for.
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
Bill Kristoff has been on West Sacramento's city council since the city formed in 1987. But the view sure has changed, he told the News-Ledger.
"As we were going through that incorporation effort, we really felt we were not receiving the proper amount of services (from Yolo County) that the taxpayers were paying for," he said. "I think the lack of services and the desire that we as a community had to make the decisions and determine our own destiny were important. And we wanted more places to shop, and a larger police force, and we wanted to use the nuisance abatement process to try to clean things up."
Since that time in 1987, the city has about doubled in population, with new shopping centers and new subdivisions. It has made inroads on developing its long-troubled downtown and languishing riverfront.
"From a regional perspective, people sort of turned up their noses at West Sacramento," said Kristoff. "They thought we were just an industrial town, and we wanted to change that image."
And now?
"Now, I'm really proud of the image we have from a regional perspective. Other communities look to West Sacramento as being aggressive, as being a community that has made great strides."
So why run again?
"There are some things that are not fully completed," Kristoff answered. "We really need to concentrate on the riverfront, making it a place where people can live, work and play in a confined space. I think we started that with city hall, the library and the community center (all on West Capitol). I want to expand that into the riverfront. I view everything as connected from the proposed Indian museum site (on the northern riverfront) all the way to South River Road."
He has a particular dream for one stretch of that riverfront – the "Honda Hills" area near South River Road and Jefferson Blvd. in Southport, best known now for illegal use by local off-roaders.
"I think a botanical garden would do wonders for that area," Kristoff opined. "It's an open space concept. We have the University of California at Davis and Sacramento State University in close proximity, and they have horticulture departments that I think would really help West Sacramento. I would like to create something that becomes a destination point."
That idea, he said, was inspired by a visit to a botanical garden in Vancouver.
Kristoff is also supportive of city participation in a plan to bring "at least a four-star hotel" to the riverfront, with business amenities such as a conference center. That would enhance the values of the other riverfront properties," he said. It would also benefit the River Cats, encourage surrounding restaurants and surrounding businesses, and bring more hotel room taxes to the city coffers.
How is the city's business climate?
"I think it compares favorably," answered the 66-year old retired postal finance officer. He pointed to the new shopping centers surrounding Ikea in the north and Nugget in the south.
"My wife's favorite store, Target, is over here," Kristoff said with a wave toward the Southport center. "If you go north, there's Ikea, Ross and others. People keep asking me for another sit-down restaurant, and we're improving in that area. There is a Denny's going in over at Harbor Boulevard (a former Bakers Square site)."
As far as business-friendly permits and fees:
"We're not giving away the store, but at the same time, we're trying to keep things not so expensive that (businesses) don't come in."
Kristoff believes that one major challenge facing West Sacramento is the loss of its redevelopment agency, after the state nullified such agencies. The city had used its agency to focus local tax money on infrastructure costs, to pave the way for growth.
Without a redevelopment agency, Kristoff believes the strategy in November's "Measure G" is one way to fill that gap.
"We have a certain amount of tax increment still coming in (annually)," he said. "Maybe $2 million or $2.5 million. Measure G says we should put that money into a fund and use that money for future infrastructure."
Even though future city officials could issue bonds worth several times what's in that pot of money, it will still take a number of years before the fund accumulates enough money to finance a big project – like a new Sacramento River bridge.
Speaking of bridges:
"I look at the South River Road bridge (connecting Southport to the rest of the city) as the next bridge we should tackle," said Kristoff. "I look at the connection between Sacramento and West Sacramento, and where that (other) bridge should go. Somehow or other, it needs to connect to I-5, whether it be the Broadway Bridge or the bridge further north, north of the I Street Bridge, that essentially connects with Sacramento's railyard project."
"I'm happy with the way the City of West Sacramento has approached it," Kristoff said. "When we were told that we had a deficiency in our levees, we were really sort of caught by surprise. We tackled that very quickly. The citizens passed an assessment on their homes for flood protection, the council put in a new fee for new development, and we also passed a sales tax override, some of which has gone into flood protection."
That willingness to pay a "local share" of levee repair costs has earned respect from state and federal flood control partners, he added. Levee work is underway.
Kristoff believes the city is in pretty good fiscal shape, having reduced city staff in the face of the recession and a slow-down in new development. The city has a problem with public pensions, but it's not a crisis, he believes.
"We've been tackling that issue for about four years."
Police and fire protection are in good shape today, said Kristoff.
"We've got the best police and fire departments in the region. They're great."
As the only person to have always been on the West Sacramento city council, does Kristoff have any regrets over any major "wrong turns" the council may have made during the past 25 years?
"Nothing on a medium or large scale," he answered. "There have been a couple development decisions where (we approved) a drive-through at a restaurant or something, and I say now, 'oh, we shouldn't have done that.'"
Kristoff and the other incumbent running for re-election, Oscar Villegas, have endorsed each other, and "I have the support of the entire council and (County Supervisor) Mike McGowan," said Kristoff.
There's only one challenger, Oleg Maskaev, a Republican who believes that his party affiliation is important in this local race.
Does Kristoff feel the same way?
"The city council is a nonpartisan position," he answered. "We have sewer, water, and filling the potholes. Those are the city's responsibility."
Kristoff said he is mounting a serious campaign including yard signs, political mailers and precinct walking. But it's a sign of the times, he said, that he will be running on "about half" the campaign budget he spent last time around.

Pumpkin Run canceled this year
The Pumpkin Run — a 5k & 10k fun run planned to take place last Saturday as a benefit for West Sacramento aquatics program — was cancelled.
According to an email from organizer Ross Yancher, the lack of sufficient signups was to blame.
"Despite trying as hard as we could, our revenues from this year's projected participation will not cover our overhead required to host the race (insurance, traffic, control fees, etc.," said Yancher.
The event was canceled on Thursday and those who paid their fees were promised refunds.
No word on whether organizers would try again in 2013.

Katie Villegas, school board candidate
EDITOR'S NOTE: This interview comes from the Oct. 17 edition of the News-Ledger newspaper. It is part of our series to bring you an in-depth look at each of the people running for city council and school board in West Sacramento this year.
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
Katie Villegas is executive director of the Yolo County Children's Alliance. That, and prior work with families in the West Sacramento region, have given her what she feels is a birds-eye view of what local kids need to succeed.
"Basically, every job I've had has been working with families and working with kids,' she told the News-Ledger. "I've worked in public health, child abuse prevention and foster care. (At the Children's Alliance), we work every day with the students and families in West Sacramento. We see the things they're not getting, and seeing it from a different level."
That experience, she hopes, will transfer to the board of trustees at Washington Unified School District.
"I think we need somebody who can see it from a different level, and see what we could do. That's what I do best – connect the dots and bring in the resources."
One of those resources is a better partnership between the school district and city government, she said.
"It's incredibly important, and partnership with the county as well," said Villegas. "I can bring in the city, the county, local business – which would be helpful for internships – and grand opportunities. It builds on itself."
"I think you need to look at the whole family. If a kid comes to school hungry, how are they expected to learn? They need health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance."
She gives the current school board a mixed grade.
"I wouldn't say they're terrible and I wouldn't say they're functional," Villegas commented. "Somewhere in between. . . It's a difficult time to be a board member."
What's the board doing wrong?
"I think a few of them see it as 'I'm getting into the trenches,'" she said of their tactical-level work. "But they're micromanaging. I think (as a board member) you need to stay at the 50,000-foot level."
Part of the answer, she argues, is to leave more of the educational decisions to the staff, like Superintendent Dayton Gilleland.
"We actually hire really good people," Villegas said. "Dayton has a Ph.D. in education. I've met with him. He's a smart guy. Sometimes the leadership needs to be allowed to take the chances they need to take to make the district better. They're the experts in education, they know what to do."
Katie, 46, has a master's degree in social work and has lived in West Sacramento for 25 years. She's probably the best-known of this year's school board challengers, not only because of her day job and past civic involvement, but also because she is married to West Sacramento City Councilman Oscar Villegas. The couple lives in Southport.
The pair have two kids who have attended school at Southport Elementary School before leaving the public school district. One attended Christian Brothers High School before going to Sacramento City College, and the other is currently at Christian Brothers.
"A lot of people are wondering, 'why are you doing this?' because my kids don't go to school here," she commented. "I'm doing this because I think all the kids of West Sacramento deserve a better education."
What concerns her most is that the kids in the northern areas – those more likely to come from poor families or be among the 40 percent Latino population of WUSD – are lagging.
"The schools are not equal," she said. "The schools out here (in Southport) are doing fairly well, but I think the schools in the north area, where our (Childrens Alliance) office is, are not doing that well. Kids of color are not doing well."
That's one past subject of controversy between Mayor Christopher Cabaldon, who criticized WUSD for failing to prepare minorities for college, and David Westin, then-president of the school board.
"There's a lot of lobbing (bombs) back and forth between Christopher and Dave. . . (such as) Christopher pointing out how bad the district is doing with kids of color," Villegas stated. "(That data) is documented. But putting that into a 'state of the city' address'? I don't know if that's the most effective way to get that out there."
Is her marriage to Councilman Villegas something that could help improve city-school district relations?
"It's nothing but helpful," answered Villegas. "The district and city haven't gotten along so well. (Working with the city) is a totally big opportunity."
Are there any conflicts of interest possible, given that the city and district sometimes need to negotiate contracts with each other?
"I think that is relatively minimal," she said. "If there are conflicts of interest, I would listen to the attorneys" and possibly abstain from decisions.
Does Katie Villegas believe student test score results are important?
"They're incredibly important," she answered. "It's a barometer of the district."
New API scores have just been released for California campuses and districts. Did WUSD backslide?
"Not so much (in Southport)," said Villegas. "But they did in Broderick and Bryte. Overall, it's down."
She doesn't give the board full credit for the past two years of big test score gains.
"I give them some credit, but kids of color are not being served," she said.
What about charter schools: does Villegas favor the concept?
"I think that alternatives to education – because I'm one of the ones who needs them – are important," she responded. I think we need to keep opportunities open for that."
Villegas does believe that WUSD is in decent financial shape, considering several years of state budget cuts.
"I think Washington Unified is the most fiscally sound district in all of Yolo County," she stated.
Villegas helped run the local 2004 high school bond campaign and has helped with her husband's council runs. She said she has the support of WUSD school board incumbents Mary Leland and Adam Menke, as well as a number of city and regional leaders.
Will she be walking precincts and raising money for the campaign?
"All of the above," said Villegas.
She is one of a number of challengers joining Leland and Westin in the hunt for three available school board seats on the Nov. 6 ballot.
