Landover, MD (Sports Network) - Robert Griffin III showed no ill effects of a
concussion as he rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries and
threw for one more, leading the Washington Redskins to a 38-26 win over the
Minnesota Vikings at FedEx Field.
Griffin, who suffered the head injury in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week
5, completed 17-of-22 passes for 182 yards as the Redskins (3-3) snapped an
eight-game home losing streak.
Griffin, the No.2 overall draft selection in 2012 and reigning Heisman Trophy
winner, left last week's game in the third quarter, but was listed as
questionable after participating fully in practice on Friday.
Alfred Morris ran for 47 yards and a score on 16 carries and Darrel Young
caught a touchdown pass in the triumph.
Christian Ponder threw for 352 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions on
35-of-52 passing, and Percy Harvin had a big day through the air, catching 11
balls for 133 yards for the Vikings (4-2), who saw their three-game winning
streak come to an end.
Adrian Peterson returned to the same field where he suffered a season-ending
knee injury in Week 16 of 2011 and was bottled up most of the day, rushing for
79 yards on 17 carries. Michael Jenkins and Kyle Rudolph both caught touchdown
passes in the setback.

|Dan Hughes travels worldwide to promote United States wheat
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 04 January 2013 17:55

By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
When it comes to talking wheat, the Hughes family name remains one of those names synonymous with wheat production in southwest Nebraska.
And like family before him, Chase County farmer Dan Hughes of Venango continues to promote wheat production, both in the U.S. and abroad.
In early December, Hughes traveled to Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates to extol the virtues of all U.S. varieties of wheat to the International Association of Operative Millers.
The conference drew many African and Middle Eastern wheat buyers, he noted.
Hughes said people would be surprised at the amount of U.S. wheat consumed in those countries. In fact, Egypt represents the largest buyer of U.S. wheat in that region.
They use it for a flat-bread product, which is then provided to the citizenry by the government.
Hughes travels on behalf of U.S. Wheat Associates and presently serves as vice-chair of the national entity.
For the past seven years, Hughes has served on the board of directors of the Nebraska Wheat Board. The Wheat Board is the entity that administers wheat check-off funds in Nebraska.
On Oct. 1, 2012, state law changed how the check-off is collected. The new formula calls for collecting 4/10th of 1 percent of the per-bushel price at which the wheat is sold.
Funds from the check-off are used to promoted wheat both domestically and internationally.
Becomes chair in July
As one of four officers of U.S. Wheat Associates, he represents 19 wheat commissions across the county.
He serves as the vice chair and will become chair of the board in July, 2013.
U. S. Wheat Associates promotes all of the six different classes of wheat grown, including winter and spring varieties of red, white and durum.
When stumping for U.S. wheat, Hughes' mission is to assure the quality of the product, the availability of stable supplies and price transparency.
Hughes touts the fact that the U.S. does not use wheat as an embargo tool when sanctioning countries.
In addition, U.S. contract law governs the sale of wheat and insures buyers they are protected.
He also promotes the quality of the product which is maintained by strict grading standards.
He said these standards of quality also insure the buyer that the U.S. product will meet or exceed the buyer's specifications.
His job is to convince buyers that U.S. wheat is the best product in the market for their needs.
Hughes served on a panel at the conference, updating buyers on the quality of the 2012 crop.
During his time with U.S. Wheat Associates, he has traveled to South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Peru, Columbia and Ecuador on behalf of American producers.
U.S. largest wheat exporter
While the U.S. remains the largest exporter of wheat, China and India are the largest producers of wheat. However much of their production is consumed domestically.
Presently, Mexico and Japan represent the biggest buyers of American wheat.
The Mexican-based Bimbo is the largest baker in the U.S. and the world. In 2010, they acquired the baker, Sara Lee.
Nebraska ranks around 10th in wheat production in the U.S. with Kansas and North Dakota at the top.
Domestic promotion
Hughes also works to protect wheat domestically.
Wheat has come under increasing pressure on gluten-free and dietary issues.
Granted, some people are allergic to gluten, a protein found in wheat-based foods, Hughes noted.
But some food writers and authors promote that wheat in the diet leads to obesity and should be totally removed from the diet.
However, research by the U.S. Wheat Foods Council indicates that wheat-based foods is not a factor in obesity in the U.S.
Wheat consumption per capita in the U.S. is down 16 pounds since 1997 while obesity continues to climb.
The Council noted the French eat almost twice as much wheat as Americans (110kg/per capita compared to 60 kg in the U.S.) and have an obesity rate of 17 percent compared to our 36 percent. Italians eat three times as much wheat (148 kg/per capita) and have a 9 percent obesity rate.
"It is a stretch to blame wheat for the obesity epidemic in the country," said Judi Adams, MS, RD with the Wheat Foods Council. U.S. Wheat Associates also arranges foreign trade missions to the U.S. so buyers can see where their wheat comes from, and how.
That creates a person-to-person relationship that is beneficial down the road, Hughes noted.
While on his visit to Abu Dhabi, he saw a member of a Yemen trade mission that came to Nebraska several years ago.
During the Yemen trip, Ellen Leibbrandt, an intern for the Nebraska Wheat Board, helped coordinate their activities in Nebraska.
The man remembered Ellen well. Hughes was proud to tell him that she was now his daughter-in-law, married to his son, Tyler, who has returned to join the family farming operation.

Fivetwo Series
Sound reproduction should be invisible – you want surround sound, with the hardware as unobtrusive as possible. That's why KEF developed an alternative to the traditional five speaker home theatre systems. As its name implies, the new fivetwo series envelops you in the surround sound of a full 5.1 set-up using only two speakers and a subwoofer.

This map can also be viewed here on deviantART.com
Desolate is part of a series of maps called "Lonely Continents". The premise of lonely continents is that an atmosphere comes into existence, and within this atmosphere is a single continent. The first of these was Revile, the Floating Continent (which floated within its atmosphere, looking hardcore). Desolate was the second of these, and although it is based on an entire planet, the landmass mapped here is the only land on the entire planet. The rest of the surface is water.
This map has taken me the better part of two weeks, and it has brought me much frustration; I am unable to replicate any of the effects that I've used to create it as it.
The entire map is "held together" by the parchment layer at the very bottom of the stack. Without that single layer (which could be replaced by any solid colour layer), the water is a mostly transparent blur with a blue tinge, and the land is a grey mess with a slight tinge of the parchment colour from an overlaid layer above the emboss layers.
I followed one or two tutorials (namely RobA's coastline tutorials) in order to get a few things done, but the rest was taking bits and pieces that I already knew from a few longer tutorials and mixing them with the Plasma Clouds Filter.
So far, I've come close to getting a similar effect to the water, but I am still unable to replicate the land effect. My bump maps never turn out the way they should for some reason.

Hi Jesse. I'm also from Western Oregon, down near Roseburg. This is a great forum, I'm sure you will enjoy it. I've been applying in WY, UT and NV for the last 25 years, and should have some pretty nice tags on the way in the next 5 years. Make sure you are getting points for Wyoming antelope. That has to be the most fun out of state hunt going, and there are enough good tags to do it every few years.
Anyways....nice you have you on the forum!

Images: Community comes together to help terminally ill soldier [Image 8 of 10]
Photo by Sgt. Amie McMillan
Soldiers, retirees, and civilians unload a self-storage container of household goods to help Chief Warrant Officer 5 Charles Petrie, an Army officer who has given almost 30 years to his country and is now terminally ill, and his family move into their new home. Petrie was diagnosed with sarcoma in his sinus – one of the rarest forms of cancer and in the rarest place, according to his wife, Terri. Despite multiple, large radiation treatments that shrank the tumor, the cancer is growing again. After being contacted by someone close to the family, U.S Army W.T.F! Moments took action by posting a message to their Facebook audience of more than 328,000 people. Approximately 100 soldiers, retirees, and civilians showed up to help a fellow soldier in need, Sept. 27, at a home in Fayetteville, N.C. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Amie J.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) --- Adolescents feel less sedated after consuming alcohol when compared to adults. So teens can drink more alcohol, because they are able to stay awake longer.
When a young person drinks alcohol, his or her developing brain won't know how to react to protect itself from the rising level of alcohol toxicity.
According to Johns Hopkins University, the youth's brain does not have the ability to prevent alcohol poisoning.
"For adults, alcohol tends to have that sedative effect up to a point, which will keep adults from over-consuming [to] the point of alcohol poisoning, because the adult will pass out. The adolescent brain doesn't have that function yet," said Beth Marshall at the Center for Adolescent Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Read Johns Hopkins University's report here.
Alcohol damages a developing brain's memory and learning functions. These impairments can influence alcohol addiction in the future.
"People who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to become alcohol-dependent than those who wait until they are 21," according to the Johns Hopkins report.
Alcohol does not discriminate between "good kids" or "bad kids" according to the Association for Psychological Science.
"...adolescents who were exposed to drugs and alcohol before the age of 15 were 2 to 3 times more likely to become dependent on substances, contract STDs, drop out of school and have criminal records. In addition, teen pregnancy rates were higher among females who used drugs and alcohol before the age of 15 compared to those who did not use illicit substances at a young age.
Interestingly, the researchers discovered that 50% of the adolescents who were exposed to drugs and alcohol prior to age 15 had no prior history of negative behavioral problems."
The damage from teen alcohol use is also expensive.
Hospitalization for underage drinkers costs $755 million a year, according to the Mayo Clinic:
"Alcohol use necessitating acute-care hospitalization represents one of the most serious consequences of underage drinking...Harmful alcohol use in adolescence is a harbinger of alcohol abuse in adulthood."

The 2012 election is wrapping up. For those who are undecided about the race for House District 57 - a newly drawn district that includes Rio Blanco, Moffat and Garfield counties - I wholeheartedly suggest you cast your ballot for Jo Ann Baxter. Baxter has many assets we need at the state legislature. Above all, she listens and understands those issues that are dear to us that choose to live in this region of the state.She has lived, worked and raised a family here. She has a network of connections throughout the state and easily garners respect from others. She is real and cares about the real people of this district and truly understands how to work well with others. Be sure to vote and know that Jo Ann Baxter is the best choose for voters of House District 57.Lois WymoreCraig
As I speak with voters during this campaign, I am often asked about my position regarding the oil and gas industry. There is no simple answer. Supply and demand, and a commitment to domestic energy production, have increased the entire country's focus on sustainable energy development. Many of my friends and former students work in oil and gas, and I appreciate how important these jobs are to them and to our region.As the United States struggles to balance exploration, production and environmental concerns, Garfield County can be positioned as a national leader. We all want clean air and pure, abundant water. We all want to be assured our families are living and working in a healthy and safe environment. We all want a strong and diverse local economy that supersedes the volatile shifts of international cycles. We must provide a stable business environment, while harnessing the industry's most progressive techniques, and we need to set the bar high to ensure best practices. Imagine the boost to our economy if other communities looked to Garfield County as a model.I believe local government must analyze all variables, which may differ between communities. Only by working for solutions, can we achieve this balance. Baseline health and environmental studies are essential, as are sensible regulations. Likewise, our vital watersheds must be protected.I will fiercely protect our health, air, water, and land, while supporting individual communities' right to preserve their quality of life. I will work with the industry to lead our community forward and I will respect the many people whose livelihoods depend upon it. I encourage you to contact me directly if you have further questions. Sonja LinmanGlenwood Springs
The end is near! As long and arduous as this election season has been, it will be done next Tuesday. Now is the time for some last minute thoughts and hopes for the future. 1A.... The ballot measure to protect our Ranchlands, Rivers and Recreation Economy is important for Garfield County. The program has been designed with care and concern for the citizens, landowners and tourists who come to Garfield County. We live in an incredible place and now we have the ability to look to the future and vote yes in favor of this proposal.A yes vote:• Works with willing landowners to preserve the county's water, wildlife and working lands,• Provides landowners a viable financial option for preservation,• Affords communities the ability to fund projects of their own (trails, parks, boat ramps) and leverage millions in other funds in the process,• Makes good economic sense to invest in the economic stability and continued growth and health of Garfield County.Vote yes on 1A, vote for the future. Vote today.Mary NooneGlenwood Springs
I have voted for Jo Ann Baxter for Colorado House District 57, and here is why. Ms.. Baxter has lived and worked on the Western Slope for 38 years, with many years of experience in teaching and managing. She clearly cares about the education of our children. This is vitally important as these children are our future. Her doctorate in education makes her uniquely qualified to take Colorado into the 21st century, a century that will revolve around our citizens' capabilities to handle the ever-changing jobs of the future and to compete not only within Colorado and the U.S., but with the world.I have discussed the future with Jo Ann and know she is concerned about the balance of economic development and environmental protection. Her passion revolves around the future of the people of the Western Slope.Jo Ann Baxter is a voice for all of us. Please consider voting for her in this election. Thank you. Colleen Kennedy RutledgeGlenwood Springs
Do you have a seat at the table? All of us would like to be involved in decisions that directly affect us and our children. We all want to ensure a future in which we and our children are prosperous and fulfilled.There are many aspects of our lives where we do not have direct control of our destiny, so it is especially important to be able to exercise some level of control in the areas we can influence. One such area is county government. However, we are at a disadvantage when we lack information regarding the issues that are being decided by government officials. This is where we need a paradigm change in Garfield County government. Contemporary information and communication technology make it easily possible for our county commissioners to communicate directly with the public regarding the major issues before us. Yet they are silent. Yes, the county operates an informational web site, but it is neither up to date nor easy to navigate.Imagine being able to subscribe to a monthly email from your county commissioner highlighting the important upcoming issues and decisions. Would this help you stay in touch with what's happening in Garfield County? Would this create a more engaged citizenry?Instead of having to pry information from our county government, it should be washing over us in a refreshing, cleansing wave.As candidate for county commissioner, Sonja Linman is a new generation, a new breed of politician. Transparency, openness and outreach are at the heart of her campaign. She understands, lives and breathes technology in the service of the public. And she can get things done. A new generation, a new paradigm, a new county commissioner. I'm voting for her.Michael LarimeGlenwood Springs
Here are some things to think about, if you're still thinking about whom to elect president. One of Mr. Romney's criticisms about the president is the loss of certain "green" businesses that the administration backed. Of those receiving funds, about 8 percent went into bankruptcy. The Wall Street Journal, aiming for a comprehensive assessment, examined 77 businesses Bain invested in while Mr. Romney led the firm from its 1984 start until early 1999, to see how they fared during Bain's involvement and shortly afterward.Among the findings: 22 percent either filed for bankruptcy reorganization or closed their doors by the end of the eighth year after Bain first invested, sometimes with substantial job losses. An additional 8 percent ran into so much trouble that all of the money Bain invested was lost. So much for business acumen. Mitt's claim of saving the Olympics neglects to mention the $1.5 billion in federal funds he requested. Mitt's claim about turning around Massachusetts fails to mention its 47th place ranking in job creation, or his 38 percent approval rating. But if you're still undecided, based on documented speeches and policy statements, a vote for the GOP will (in no particular order, except for Day One): Eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Departments of Energy and Education. ObamaCare will be thrown out, as will Dodd-Frank (Wall Street regulations) and pesky drilling regulations. Despite their claims, women's rights, gay rights, worker's rights will all be under attack.Vote for Romney/Ryan if you agree more war and military spending is a good thing. Or if you believe Iran is landlocked. Vote for President Obama because you understand we are headed in the right direction. Because we are. Craig S. ChisesiRifle
Jo Ann Baxter was my history teacher in high school. She made history interesting to her students because of her enthusiasm, passion and knowledge of history. This intensity that Jo Ann brought to the class room is the same devotion I feel she will bring to representing the citizens of District 57. I have called Jo Ann several times over the past few years to ask her questions about the American system of government and her answers were accurate and compelling. Our discussion over the phone about the Electoral College versus the popular vote was my favorite, and she explained to me the advantages of the electoral system. We need a representative from our community that has studied history and government for a lifetime and who has earned a PhD in educational leadership, further demonstrating her energy and work ethic.In one of our conversations, she stated we need a well-educated populace in order to improve our economic status. My father was a teacher in Craig for over 25 years and he always stressed the importance of a good education and improving our schools. This same spirit is alive and well in Jo Ann Baxter.We also talked about the importance of coal in our area and in the state of Colorado. Jo Ann said that without coal, Craig and the surrounding area would not be as prosperous as it is today, and that coal is very important to our energy needs. She also said the mines provide coal miners with permanent work, and these individuals contribute to, and build, a strong community. It is time we have a well-informed, energetic candidate represent us from our community in Craig. Vote Jo Ann Baxter in District 57.Greg CortezCraig
I desire to address an important issue. Please do not believe the negative, mean-spirited, politically-motivated allegations in the letters to the editor or from other sources. Please judge John Martin and Mike Samson on their character, integrity and work ethic. I believe we have always run good, positive campaigns and we will continue to do so. Garfield County is in good shape. If we are re-elected, you can expect to see the county continue to progress on the right track, as it has for the past four years. Now for the really important part: Please remember to vote for solid candidates and encourage all to do so, from the national to the local levels.Mike SamsonGarfield County Commissioner, District 3Rifle
We need a representative like Bob Rankin in Denver who can help get our economy on track and also solve some big issues facing our state.Our legislators have to deal with a myriad of technical issues and a difficult budget. Hundreds of bills pass through the Colorado Legislature every year but we still don't have solutions to school financing or a way to fund our roads and bridges. Health care alone can break the state budget. We have structural problems, brought on by constitutional amendments that need to be addressed. Bob will be a unique representative for our district. He has been a corporate president responsible for thousands of employees. He has founded and operated several small businesses in Colorado. He works hard to understand our western Colorado industries of agriculture, tourism and energy. His efforts have earned him endorsements from the Colorado Contractors Association, the Colorado Farm Bureau, the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry, the National Federation of Independent business and the Associated Builders and Contractors. These business endorsements add to those from the medical community, automotive industry and others.These endorsements are not given lightly and they indicate that Bob Rankin is trusted to create jobs and help get our economy moving. He knows that private sector job creation is the only way to develop the revenue to pay for the services that Colorado citizens expect. And while he's helping private sector job creators, he can look at the big picture of Colorado's future, providing much needed leadership for the state. I support Bob and look forward to working with him. Gregg RippyGlenwood Springs
Friday night, I attended the Rifle vs. Delta football game. It was a well-played game and the Rifle team was impressive. What impressed me more than their play was their sportsmanship. Many times, they would help the Delta players up of the ground. They were respectful to the officials, handing them the ball and shagging balls for them. I heard many comments from the people in the stands about how Rifles' boys were doing the right thing.Rifle should be proud of the way their football team represents them. Aaron ClayDelta
I am asking for your vote to be your state representative. Redistricting has opened this seat to the possibility of having a long time resident of this area to represent you on matters of education funding, water resource management, economic development and the environment.My opponent and I have very different values on a number of issues important to this district. With education funding, for instance. I am a strong supporter of our public schools and will work hard to find ways to bolster the state's financial support for education. My opponent has called for committing your tax dollars toward vouchers for private schools.On energy, economic development and the environment, I support traditional and alternative energy development, but am intensely aware of the need to protect our environment and economic activities, such as agriculture, outfitting, tourism and recreation. I will work hard to find a balance that benefits residents throughout the district.I am a native Coloradan and 38-year resident of Moffat County. I raised my family here, taught school for many years and was elected twice to the Moffat County Board of Education. Governor Hickenlooper recently re-appointed me to the State Council for Educator Effectiveness. I am a Democrat who has worked hard to collaborate with my fellow board members and teachers over the years, and understand the need to take different views into account when setting policy and making decisions.I believe participation matters, that government matters and that democracy matters. That is why I am running to be your representative.For more information about me and my stand on several issues, visit my website, www.joannbaxter.com. I would appreciate your vote on Nov. 6.Jo Ann BaxterCandidate for House District 57
I recently attended Rifle's "Tour de Downtown" event, where conceptual designs for a variety of small projects to attract development and investment in the downtown were on display at the library. One idea looked at expanding Centennial Park by creating a trail on the east side of Rifle Creek. Ideas presented earlier this spring included adding trails to connect our downtown to residential areas, the Colorado River and the historic (unused) bridge, which fits well with plans to create a new boat ramp and trails on the south side of the river. As I consider these projects, and Rifle's future, two things strike me. One, they will all take money to build. Two, question 1A provides an obvious source of funding for these and similar projects, if it is passed by the voters this fall. The Ranchlands, Rivers, and Recreation Economy Sales Tax would create a county-wide fund to (1) purchase development rights from willing landowners, providing an incentive for preserving agricultural land and wildlife habitat while keeping private lands in private hands; (2) provide grants to municipalities or the county to purchase land from willing landowners to create parks, trails and other public recreation projects. Costing the average household $3.25 per month, about as much as fancy coffee, 1A will make investments that diversify our economy and enhance our quality of life. Western Garfield County in particular has much to gain from 1A. In addition to expanding opportunities in Rifle, 1A could fund projects and amenities in communities throughout the county. Invest in our future, our economy and our quality of life. Vote yes on question 1A. Skye SieberRifle
Editor's note: This letter was originally addressed to members and supporters of The New Ute Theatre Society.We would to thank you for your membership and your continued support of the New Ute Event Center. We have made wonderful progress as we enter into the next phase for the center. We would like to take this time to update you on the current obstacles we are facing. On Tuesday, Oct. 23, Rifle City Council met to review the 2013 budget. Many of the NUTS board members were present to encourage them to move forward with beginning interior construction. We asked council to allocate the funds from the 2013 budget. The council decided to included the project in the draft 2013 budget, which will be up for consideration at the Nov. 7 council meeting. Apparently, as some of the money will come out of the capital fund, it takes more than a majority vote (at least 5 out of 7) to pass. The major obstacle is the cost of operations and management after it is built. They have asked NUTS to come up with a transition plan for O&M and present it at the council meeting. We are working hard on that plan and will have it ready by Nov. 7. This is where you, as a member, can help. We encourage all of you to show your presence at the Nov. 7 city council meeting. We strongly believe that if our community shows their overwhelming support for the Ute, they will have no reason not to pass the vote. Please spread the word. We cannot stress how important this meeting is for the future of The New Ute Events Center. Again, we are very grateful for your support.Board of DirectorsNew Ute Theatre Society Rifle
Many of us received a political postcard designed to convince us not to vote for a particular candidate. The candidate the authors of this postcard are trying to discredit is Sonja Linman, a candidate for Garfield County Commissioner. The card features an unfocused picture of Ms. Linman with the word "FAIL" scrawled in red. It is an amateur, desperate and pathetic example of attempted political character assassination.This postcard was not sent by Ms. Linman's opponent, John Martin, but rather by a Grand Junction-based outside political group with their own agenda for Garfield County.The text in the card asserts that a property tax increase is a major part of Ms. Linman's political objectives. Nothing could be further from the truth. As a member of Ms. Linman's campaign staff, I can tell you there are no proposed tax increases in her platform.The untruthful assertion regarding Ms. Linman's tax policy is not the only factual inaccuracy in this card. The card encourages you to call Ms. Linman at a phone number which, in fact, is not hers. I know because it is my phone number. This may give you some indication of how rigorously the authors of this card have checked their facts.And if you want to check the facts, Ms. Linman's positions and platform are laid out publicly, in full sight, on her web site, Linman2012.com. Clearly the authors of this card chose to ignore all the information publicly available in regard to Ms. Linman's candidacy.Don't let outside political or economic interests sway your vote. Check the facts. Vote your convictions, not someone else's.Michael LarimeGlenwood Springs
As the owner of Glenwood Springs Ford, I encourage you to vote for Bob Rankin for House District 57. As an outdoor recreation enthusiast, I appreciate that Bob is encouraging access to public lands. He has taken the time to listen to the needs of small business owners and has been one himself, so he understands what we need to revitalize our Colorado economy. The Colorado Automobile Association joins numerous organizations in endorsing Bob to work for us in Denver. Help ensure the health of businesses throughout the Western Slope by joining me in voting for Bob Rankin.Zach CarlsonGlenwood Springs
If you hunt or fish, I urge you to vote "yes" on question 1A, the Ranchlands, Rivers and Recreation Economy measure. 1A creates a local source of revenue to enable willing landowners to preserve lands that provide habitat for game and support healthy fisheries. Rifle is regularly recognized as one of the best places to hunt and fish in the country. It's a big part of our economy. We're fortunate to have a number of large, well-managed ranch properties that provide habitat and migration corridors for wildlife. Anglers know that healthy fisheries also rely on healthy riparian corridors. 1A will create a non-regulatory program to invest in areas that our fish and game rely upon. Landowners gain equity from their land through conservation. For our communities, it creates a pool of funds for new parks and trails, like Rifle's Centennial Park. The cost is a minimal 0.25 percent sales tax that isn't collected on food or prescription drugs. It will cost the average family less than $3.25 a month. That is a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about diversifying our economy. 1A is streamlined and efficient and has accountability measures built in. A maximum of 5 percent of the revenue can be used for administrative costs; any leftover will go back into the program. 1A does not create a new county department or require new staff. It will be administered by an appointed board of people from throughout the county. And, the program is temporary. It automatically expires in 10 years. Now is the time to put this type of program in place. If you don't hunt and fish, but care about our economy and quality of life, 1A deserves your vote. Raymond LangstaffRifle
This letter is not for everyone, just a select audience, those intending to vote for Obama, those still undecided, and those registered, but not intending to vote.By constitutional provision, Joe Biden becomes president if - heaven forbid - the vacancy occurs. Between 1901 and 1974, five vice presidents have presided due to four presidential deaths and one resignation. Considering his conduct in office certainly raises serious questions, especially regarding his lack of leadership skills and questionable judgment. Biden's proclivity for bloviating is well documented by his many gaffes.Is this a racial innuendo referring to Obama? "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." Is this a loose canon remark? "In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." Is this mindless befuddlement? "Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." (To Missouri State Senator Chuck Graham, who's confined to a wheelchair).Is this off the wall denigration? "They're going to put y'all back in chains."Is this out-of-touch ignorance? "How many of you know someone who's served in Iraq and Iran?" He asked this twice at a Nevada rally on Oct. 18. Many Democratic drones, along with Harry Reid, raised their hands. Do they not know, we do not have troops stationed in Iran. Yet.Just a heartbeat away from the office of president, Biden is hardly "presidential" and actually an embarrassment to many in his party. Please help safeguard America. Vote for Romney and Ryan.Richard DoranParachute
Over the past several weeks, the Checks and Balances "bipartisan" survey has been mentioned many times. In Ms. Sherman's Oct. 5 letter to the Glenwood Springs Post Independent and the same paper's endorsement of Linman and Samson a few days later, for example.What has not been mentioned is that the survey is not as "bipartisan" as some make it out to be.The survey was funded by the Checks and Balances Project. When one studies their organization closely, it's clear to see they are no friend of the energy industry, with clear left-wing ideologies.Regarding the survey, they built their case based on biased question wording leading to answers that align with their political views.In addition to providing leading questions, the survey also failed to randomize the statements that followed each action of the Garfield County Commissioners (with the exception of question #8). Although instructions were given to randomize the actions (i.e. survey questions) of the commissioners, the supporting statements below each question were not randomized; the critical viewpoint was always stated first, further biasing the respondents answers. These small details can make a difference. Leading questions provide biased answers. Given the stated purpose of the Checks and Balances Project, such bias is not a surprise. As such, it is all the more remarkable that 53 percent of respondents approve of the commissioners' governance, while only 26 percent disapprove. Conclusions drawn from such a survey and presented as fact mislead the public and provide an inaccurate picture of true public sentiment.

Jo Ann Baxter has the experience and ideas we need for a healthy future in Colorado. Baxter has extensive experience in education. More than 30 years as a teacher, 8 years on the Moffat County School Board and a PhD in educational leadership. She raises critical questions about our school system, such as whether standardized test scores should be the ultimate measure of our children's progress. In contrast, her opponent, Bob Rankin, has zero experience in public education. He wants to move Colorado to a voucher system, trusting the education of our children to "free market" competition. Didn't the collapse of Wall Street teach us that even our economy cannot be left to an unregulated free market system?Regarding the economy, Rankin is putting all his eggs in one basket: The oil and gas industry. One of his highest priorities is to "push back" against federal regulations of the industry. In contrast, Baxter recognizes that enticing businesses to locate (and remain) in Colorado requires that we maintain a high level of livability in our communities, and that we must balance the various economic drivers in our state.Baxter has been elected twice to public office and was appointed to the State Council on Educator Effectiveness. She has extensive experience in collaboration and consensus-building. Rankin has never been elected to public office and has no legislative experience.The one area in which Rankin has Baxter beat is in campaign finances, collecting over three times the amount of campaign funds as Baxter, including contributions from over 10 times as many political action committees as Baxter. Do we want this election to be determined by whichever candidate has the most money and receives funds from the most number of PACs?Please vote for Jo Ann Baxter for House District 57.

If you are like me, you're very happy this election season is finally ending.The most important decisions to me are our county commissioner races. What you need to remember is that you and everyone living in Garfield County for the last 20 years are experts in the subject of energy extraction. The BLM made a very important and correct decision to limit leasing for research on oil shale to give time to see if there is a way to feasibly get the oil from the rocks. Our commissioners, in a hidden and illegal meeting, decided to protest that decision. That decision has been rescinded, but we must still question why it was made in the first place.Aleks Briedis and Sonja Linman will not do this to you, Garfield County. These people are approachable and not prone to deception. We need them.I am a Democrat, and as such I'll urge you to vote my ticket. I am also a lifelong resident of Garfield County. I love this place. We have had a diverse economy here forever. Extraction has come and gone more times than I can count in my lifetime. Aleks and Sonja will take advantage of our economic diversity, not because it is new, but because it has always been here. There was no gas drilling when I grew up here, yet we survived, and so did you. From Obama/Biden, to Sal Pace, to Emily Tracy, to Jo Ann Baxter, to Regent Ludwig and Jessica Garrow, and to Sherry Caloia and to Aleks Briedis and Sonja Linman, your interests are ours. Vote for yourself, vote Democratic.David MeadRifle
I read that the Glenwood Springs Post Independent has endorsed a single issue educator as its candidate for House District 57. They characterized Bob Rankin as "too far right." What is the Post Independent's definition of too far right? He is pro business and jobs. Does that mean that pro business and jobs is too far right? In addition to business and jobs, education has always been a key part of Bob Rankin's platform. He is committed to helping our dedicated teachers and principals deliver a higher level of education to our children and be rewarded for their efforts.Bob Rankin is the only candidate who has the experience to aggressively represent both our business and education needs. We need leadership, not another lobbyist for teacher's unions.Jon WarnickCarbondale
A vote on question 1A is a vote for our children's future. We have a chance to preserve more of our county's invaluable natural assets for future generations. Ranchlands, rivers, and recreation are central to our quality of life, and underpin our recreation-based economy. These natural amenities attract and retain investors, employees, and entrepreneurs, which ultimately fuel our economy, bolster our housing values, and afford a better quality of life for us and our children. As a sportsman, I'm impressed with the broad base of support for question 1A, which includes endorsements from the Holy Cross Cattlemen's Association, West Slope Oil and Gas Association, Bull Moose Sportsmen's Coalition, and the Ferdinand Hayden Chapter of Trout Unlimited.As an avid skier, hunter, and fly fisherman, I'm excited about the new access to public lands this will provide. As a father, I look forward to sharing these open spaces with my son in the future.Most of all, however, I support the voluntary nature of this program. Rather than exact open space from otherwise enthusiastic developers or unwilling landowners, 1A creates a pot of funds which can only be used to enter into voluntary conservation agreements with willing landowners. Funds will be used to create parks, trails, and recreation opportunities, as well as preserve working ranches, wildlife habitat, and valuable riparian corridors.As an unaffiliated voter, I oppose any increase in the size or influence of government. But this program is a well-designed, lean, and temporary program that will reap far more in rewards than it costs citizens, creating the greatest amount of good of the greatest number in the long run. Please join me in voting yes on 1A to support or economy, and our quality of life.Chad LeeGlenwood Springs
I have had the privilege to live all over Garfield County for the last eight years. I am also blessed to work in an industry that allows me to interact with a diverse group of business owners. I have noticed the amazing impact one industry has on our local economies. Have we learned nothing from our past? Garfield County cannot risk being a one-industry county. Our leadership has a responsibility to advocate for small businesses and key industries in the area to ensure a diverse economy. We need an economy that is not subject to the whims of one or two international corporations.Aleks Briedis has repeatedly used health and recreation industries as an example of where our county can diversify its economic interests. His stated goal is to make Garfield County the healthiest in the state. The nerve of him. How dare he want to build an active, healthy community for our children to grow up in? How could he possibly believe that is reasonable, or even possible? What could he possibly be thinking?Aleks brings a different leadership style as a county commissioner. He believes in this radical idea of listening first, then deciding the right course of action. Far too often, we have heard the commissioners make up their minds before public input is considered, dismiss the people they work for and suppress the voice they should advocate for.Aleks Briedis is the right leader for Garfield County.Tim StolleyCarbondale
Jo Ann Baxter is an attentive listener who will truly represent constituents. She is a master of consensus building through cooperation, and compromise, committed to finding quality solutions to tough issues.

The Ranchlands, Rivers, and Recreation economy measure, question 1A, is an opportunity we as a county cannot afford to pass up. Garfield County's greatest assets are our lands and rivers. For generations, these lands have been used for ranching and recreation, and they remain critical cogs in our local economy. It only makes sense to invest in our greatest assets. Vacationers travel from all over to enjoy the natural beauty, recreational opportunities and quality of life that this county provides. This sustains local business and provides valuable jobs. Hunters and anglers understand the value of healthy wildlife habitat and river corridors, and the businesses that cater to them do, too. With a 10-year sunset clause and an affordable sales tax amounting to roughly $3.25 per family per month (a little more than a cup of coffee) this a no-brainer. Not only will a program like this support our economy, it supports our quality of life. If you love the beautiful views, enjoying time by the river, walking on a trail, or catching a glimpse of wildlife, this measure is for you.Recently, I was in the lobby of Colorado Mountain College's Glenwood Center when a picture caught my eye. It showed the Roaring Fork Valley near Glenwood Springs in 1925. It was a stark contrast to the valley we know today. I had to stop and wonder what our valley might look like 100 years from now, if we don't act to protect the place that we love. Or looking forward, what will Garfield County be like for my children? Will they have the same quality of life that we do today? Vote yes on 1A to stimulate our economy and protect the beautiful place that we call home. Philip HalliwellGlenwood Springs
As a resident of State Senate District 8, I hope to elect a senator I can be proud of. I do not believe Randy Baumgardner will fill this expectation. Three events reflect poorly on our current state representative.First, when faced with a possible change in district boundaries, Rep. Baumgardner claimed he resided in Jackson County where he said he leased grazing land. His residence, according to residents of Hot Sulphur Springs, continued to be in Grand County. Second, the Denver Post reported Rep. Baumgardner had a registered sex offender living in his Hot Sulphur Springs home, a 32-year-old man who victimized a 14-year-old girl when he was 24. According to the paper, Baumgardner did not report the man was living in his home, as required by Colorado law. When questioned, he related that everyone makes mistakes when they are younger. We trust most do not make the mistake of abusing juvenile girls. His cavalier statement also shows a lack of respect for assault victims.Third, his primary campaign against a respected member of our community revealed his true nature. A campaign mailer showed a picture of two men kissing, with the headline "State Senator Jean White's idea of 'family values?'" The intelligent voters of Northwest Colorado do not wish to be pandered to. I hope to elect a state senator who is a valued member of our community. Randy Baumgardner is not that community member. His record reveals a man who will do anything to hold onto his political position, including appealing to the lowest common voter denominator. I believe his opponent, Emily Tracy, will be a Colorado State Senator we can all be proud of.Andrew MillerFraser
Be prepared for last-minute election campaign shenanigans from John Martin's supporters. Listen for it on your local radio stations and look for it in your mailbox. The deep-pocket, oil and gas industry-supported, PACs and 527 groups are sure to be sending you negative messages about Sonja Linman, John Martin's challenger for Garfield County Commissioner. These tactics have boosted Martin's campaigns in the past, but please don't be fooled this time. Sonja Linman brings integrity and compassion for our county's citizens, unlike the industry PACs who support Martin, who will do anything to expand corporate profits.John Martin may claim he has nothing to do with the oil and gas PACs, but I believe his record speaks for itself: He participated in secret meetings to support oil shale industry interests, he pulled the plug on a community health assessment when the industry became nervous that the truth about industry impacts might come to light, and he fired longtime, dedicated county employees who had the audacity to serve the county with integrity.Sixteen years is enough. Garfield County deserves better. Sonja has demonstrated strong and consistent leadership while building a track record of successful collaborative partnerships stretching from Parachute to Carbondale. She will bring true representation and full-time professional management to the office, which we all deserve.Please join me in voting for Sonja Linman for Garfield County Commissioner.George WearGlenwood Springs

Live Life Fully: For better balance, try 'ordering in'
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- I've been running on empty lately. It seems my life's been "out of order."
Too many commitments, scheduled activities and back-to-back trips out of town. After a while, they take their toll.
I know my outer world is a mirror of what's taking place in my internal world, so I started to examine the chaos to make sense of it all. I decided I don't need any more speeding tickets to remind me!
We all know it feels better to have things in order. I often give thanks for systems in my life that are "there" for me.
And, yet, I've allowed the chaos to dominate lately -- and I haven't kept the systems in place to accommodate the overload. Maybe you can relate.
My research led me back to one of my all-time favorite books, "Simple Abundance." Author Sarah Ban Breathnach provides a reading for each day, divided into sections of six principles:
"These are the six threads of abundance living which, when woven together, produce a tapestry of contentment that wraps us in inner peace, well being, happiness and a sense of security," she says. To which my weary soul responds, "Put me in, Coach!"
I'll cut right to the chase with the concept of order because this is what's screaming most loudly to me.
"Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed by outside circumstances -- worries about money, concern over a sick family member, or anxiety over prolonged business negotiations -- instinctively I turn to homegrown rituals to restore my equilibrium," says the author. "There is an immediate emotional and psychological payoff to getting our houses in order."
That's when it hit me: I need to "order in." While we can't always control what's happening externally in our lives, we can learn to look to our own inner resources for a sense of comfort that nurtures and sustains us.
If you're constantly feeling adrift and don't know why, you might want to explore the role that order, or the lack of it, plays in your life.
Seven warning signs
1. Are you forgetting appointments?
2. Are you misplacing things more often?
3. Are you noticing more clutter around you -- at home, at the office, in your car?
4. Do you seem to have a shorter fuse?
5. Are people around you starting to annoy you?
6. Are you having trouble sleeping? Or staying awake in the middle of the day?
7. Are you starting to feel hopeless about "getting it all done"?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, you're an ideal candidate for "ordering in."
And we're in the perfect season. Spring cleaning can also refer to a psychological sweep -- a timeout to confront the emotional clutter that's accumulated in our mental closets.
One way to start seeking order within is to come to grips with what drives us crazy, but what we've been too distracted to do anything about, teaches "Simple Abundance." Run a video of your typical day through your mind and view the person hanging on at the end of the rope with compassion.
What parts make you cringe? It could be anything from rushing off to work convinced that you've forgotten something you need, to never finding anything that's suitable to wear, to that gnawing feeling that you're spinning too many plates and one of them may fall any second now.
All these situations cry out for order, just as our fragmented souls do. Here are a few tips. Start "ordering in" by bookending your days with reflections first thing in the morning and last thing at night. You can make the choice every morning to live in the world but not be caught up in the frenzy of it, especially a frenzy of your own making.
Now, to get your toolbox ready. For the morning bookend, think about the day ahead and how it might unfold more smoothly. Keep some inspirational readings close by. You'll be amazed at what five minutes can do to help you set the stage -- and to restore your soul. The important thing is consistency. Over time your mind, body and spirit will begin to trust you'll provide this sustenance on an ongoing basis.
Same thing in the evening, just a few moments of reflection will do. I have a note under the glass on my nightstand that says, "Today was a good day." And I drift off to sleep every night with an affirmation by author Louise Hay: "All is well. Everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation only good will come. And I am safe and protected always."
This past Memorial Day weekend, I "unplugged" for the most part, and I found myself relishing the silence. Every once in a while, I'd stop and ask myself, "What's that sound?" And then I'd respond, "Oh, that's quiet." The long weekend definitely provided some much-needed soul balm.
The big takeaway for me is that I don't need to have a three-day weekend to recharge my batteries. The trick is to keep them charged with daily doses of self-care in small but consistent increments -- and not to run myself ragged to the point that I need intensive care!
As "Simple Abundance" points out, "You may not believe this, but Mother Time does not rush. Seven o'clock does not tell six o'clock, "Get a move on -- there are places to go, people to see, emails to send."
It's just not on the "order in" menu.

Three homeless aid groups in Cincinnati are getting a bit of help from the federal government. On Sept. 19, the Secretary of Veteran Affairs announced it awarded nearly $600 million to homeless aid groups around the United States, and three local organizations managed to secure $600,000 of that funding.
The money will be awarded primarily to Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries, but Goodwill has partnered up with Strategies to End Homelessness and the Healing Center at Vineyard Community Church to make full use of the money.
Kevin Finn, executive director of Strategies to End Homelessness, says the money will help make up for stimulus funding that was recently lost — at least in the case of military veterans."It's going to go to helping veterans and their families that are either at risk of becoming homeless or already homeless," Finn says.
That makes the grant funding different in two major ways:
First, the money can now be used to help veterans' families, not just
veterans. Typically, aid to veterans is allocated in a way that can only
benefit veterans, but this money will help their husbands, wives and children.
Also, the money will also be used to help vets at risk for homelessness instead of just vets who are already homeless. With the traditional, limited funding, homeless aid groups can only reach out to people who are already out in the streets; with this new funding, groups like Strategies to End Homeless will be capable of taking preventative measures that keep vets in a home.
The new funding, which Finn estimates will help about 200 families, will be divided between the local organizations so they can each take on different roles. For Strategies to End Homelessness, that mostly means working on short-term solutions for homeless or at-risk vets.
"The biggest (services) will be rentals and financial assistance to either get them to be stable in housing or keep them in their housing and prevent them from becoming homeless," Finn says.
After that, care will shift to Goodwill, which will work on job training, job searching, tutoring, computer training and other important tools to help keep vets employed and housed.
"If the financial support can keep them from being homeless in the short term, then the services that the Goodwill case manager will put in place will hopefully keep them from being homeless in the long term," Finn says.
To reach out to vets in need, the organizations will use current connections, street outreach programs and phone hotlines to make sure the program reaches as many people as possible while staying efficient. To Finn, one of the most important tasks of Strategies to End Homelessness is to make sure no funding is wasted and the organizations coordinated by Strategies to End Homelessness do not have redundant programs.
Strangely enough, aid to vets has become a political issue recently. Forty Republicans in the U.S. Senate recently blocked the Veteran Jobs Corps Act, which would have funded job programs for military veterans. Ohio Rep. Connie Pillich recently introduced a resolution in the Ohio General Assembly to encourage U.S. Senate Republicans to pass the bill.
Activists gathered on Thursday outside of the West Chester office of U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, asking the House's top official to look at reducing military spending when coming up with a budget.
The group of nearly two dozen — which included nuns, a veteran, a retiree advocate, a small businessman and progressive activists — held signs reading, "It is time for Nation Building in the United States. Cut Massive Pentagon Budget Now!" and "End Tax Breaks for Richest 2%."
"We're here today in front of Speaker of the House John Boehner's West Chester office to drive home the fact that we believe that over 50 percent of the budget magically, this elephant in the House, has failed to be discussed as we discuss taking away services that provide human needs," said David Little of Progress Ohio.
"Any discussion that fails to address excesses in that budget is failing the American people."
Little added that it was possible to support the troops and veterans without spending billions on pointless wars.
Butler County attorney and Navy veteran Bruce Carter said the military can be more efficient in what he called the changing mission.
"When you refuse to have a discussion on over half of the budget, that's like trying to tell the Bengals to win a game without going over the 50 yard line," he said.
The group had a letter to deliver to Boehner, which contained what they called a statement of principles.
"We believe in a holistic approach to the budget crisis, and in order to protect the middle-class, cuts to the Pentagon need to be at the forefront," the letter states. "We understand that Pentagon cuts are a controversial issue, however, Pentagon cuts in the sequester do not threaten our national security."
The letter suggests that some of the money currently being spent on the Defense Department goes to providing services for veterans.
The military accounted for about 52 percent — or $600 billion — of discretionary spending in fiscal year 2011.
In contrast, education, training and social services collectively made up 9 percent of the budget.
The group of four activists weren't allowed into Boehner's office, but a young staffer met them outside. He said that the speaker thought everything should be on the table when it came to budget cuts.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its policy review unexpectedly raised its policy interest rate on Tuesday by 25 basis points but said that if consumer price inflation eases as projected it does not foresee further near-term tightening - Governor Raghuram Rajan leaves cash reserve ratio (CRR) unchanged at 4 pct (read highlights below).
Having raised repo rate, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan said slowdown in economy getting 'increasingly worrisome'.
Raghuram G Rajan at RBI meet: Read full report
RBI policy review: Read full report
RBI Policy Review: Economic growth in India likely to slip below 5 pct
Graphics: RBI Q3 Monetary Policy Review
The RBI policy review decision was driven by an expectation that consumer price index (CPI) inflation will remain high, an indication that Raghuram Rajan is looking to adopt a recent proposal to base its policy rate decisions on a CPI target.
The RBI raised its policy repo rate by 25 basis points to 8.00 percent.
Most economists in a poll conducted last week had expected no change in rates. However, expectations for a rate hike had increased after a central bank panel proposed to make CPI the main inflation benchmark.
Indian bonds, stocks and the rupee fell after the rate hike but soon recovered most losses on the back of the dovish statement. The benchmark 10-year bond yield which rose as much as 9 basis points following the hike, retreated entirely to continue trading down 5 bps on the day at 8.72 percent.
"For now, this should mark the peak of the rate hike cycle, with the central bank's growth projections close to our conservative estimates at 4.8 percent for FY14 and 5.3 percent for FY15," said Radhika Rao, economist at DBS Bank in Singapore.
The CPI eased to a three-month low of 9.87 percent in December but remains well above the central bank's policy repo rate of 7.75 percent, and the RBI said on Tuesday that consumer inflation risks remain to the upside.
Last week, a central bank panel proposed revamping its monetary policy structure by setting a CPI inflation target of 4 percent, plus or minus 2 percent, over the long term, with a goal of trimming

Rachel Weisz was born on March 7, 1970 and raised in London's artistic and intellectually-oriented suburb of Hampstead. Her parents were both Jewish émigrés who had escaped the Nazi regime - her father, a scientific inventor who had fled Hungary; her mother, an Austrian psychoanalyst. Weisz and her sister, Minnie, grew up under the influence of educated, individualist parents who valued theater and the arts and encouraged their daughters to form their own opinions about the world through often lively household debates. This outspokenness was obviously not valued at the pair of schools that expelled Weisz before she was a teen. She fared better at the less stodgy St. Paul's Girls School in ... Continue Bio >>

A "DANDI" DAY AT THE K: Trying to right an historical wrong…we are going to make Dandi "Dan" Mackall's dream of being a batgirl come true! You might not know the story, but in 1961, Dandi won a batboy essay contest for the Kansas City A's.

610 SATURDAYS: The first one was a hit (did you see the photo gallery?) and already it looks as if No. 2 on the 610 Saturdays play list will be just as successful! The Saturday promotion is the Royals Fleece Stadium Blanket (first 20,000 fans, presented by Sprint Wireless) and the fans checking out the 610 Saturdays party will enjoy a live remote from 96.5 The Buzz featuring on-air personality Jason of the "Middays with Jason" show. The event will also feature a special Main Stage performance by the band The Away Team. Don't forget to listen to 610 Sports on Monday to hear the password for the "610 Pen."

WHEELING - Wheeling Park and Wheeling Central have been playing against each other for 37 years, but Tuesday night's matchup between the two crosstown rivals could have been the first time where both squads came in with sub .500 records.
Records aside, both teams put on a show for a jam-packed crowd that watched the Patriots (3-4) defeat the Marron Knights (2-6), 71-64.
''We needed a win,'' Park coach Michael Jebbia said. ''We hit a rough patch playing some teams that were bigger than us, but we choose to schedule it this way. We play everybody, which probably contributed to a couple of our early losses, but I think it makes us better. The kids want to play better competition.''
Article Photos
Wheeling Park's Ryan Reinbeau (1) tries to dribble around the guard of Wheeling Central's Justin Hammers (3) during their game on Tuesday night.
Tied at 10-10 midway through the first, the Patriots used a 9-0 run to end the quarter and extend their lead to as many as 14 before Central went on an 11-4 run to close the half.
Down six at 29-23, the Maroon Knights fought all the way back to tie the game at 35-35 on a David Park 3-pointer only to watch Trenton Smith hit a trey of his own seven seconds later to give the lead back to the hosts.
''We knew coming in that they were going to take the majority of the shots and I think we wore them down, but they kept fighting,'' Jebbia said.
The game then came down to a shooting contest between Park junior Luke Saseen and Central's Chase Harler, who was only in his eighth career high school contest.
Halfway through the fourth, Sassen put the Patriots ahead 54-44 on two makes from the charity stripe, but Harler kept fighting, and came right back with a 3-point bomb, one of the freshman's seven of the night.
Harler then made it a five-point game at 69-64 off another 3, but the rookie's effort finally fell short.
''I'm proud of my kids 'effort,'' Central veteran coach Mel Stephens said. ''They came out hard and competed. I thought we did key end of the game situations better then we have in the past. Even though we lost, we were able to extend the game and keep it close.
''The problem was we ran out of timeouts and that kind of hurt us. I thought we did a good job of attacking the basket late and getting to the free-throw line. That gave us a chance to score some points without the clock running. Chase made a couple big 3s down the stretch too, but to their credit, they were able to knock down the free throws when they needed to.''
Jebbia agreed saying, ''We made enough free throws and I think Saseen in the fourth quarter kind of put us on his shoulders and got aggressive. That's the way we need him to play.''
Saseen finished the game with 18 points, 16 of which came in the fourth.
The Park coach was also impressed with how Harler carried his own team in the final quarter.
''He doesn't look like a ninth grader,'' Jebbia said. ''He plays with the confidence of a junior or senior. Our guys have a great respect for him. We tried to wear him down, but he kept plugging and plugging. He's going to be a handful for a lot of teams for the next three years.''
Harler finished with a game-high 34 points, while Park added 21 for the Knights.
Reinbeau backed Saseen with 17 points and nine rebounds, while Trenton Smith chipped in 12.

CEVA expands its Southeast Asia footprint
February 23, 2011
CEVA logistics has launched a cross-border road freight service in South East Asia, providing an integrated service from Singapore, through Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam to China.
CEVA expects approximately 72,000 tons to be carried on the cross border service within the first 12 months, and will be offering Full Truck Load (FTL) and Less Than Truck Load (LTL) services for maximum flexibility in response and delivery times.
According to Casey Fisher, EVP for CEVA in South East Asia, the cross border service will "simplify" shipper supply chains.
In an interview with SCMR, Brian Clancy, managing director, Logistics Capital & Strategy, LLC, said more alternatives to costly air cargo may be in the offing.
"Time-definite service can be achieved in many cases, without ever loading cargo on a plane," he said. "And when you consider near-sourcing, this becomes even more clear."
Ceva spokesmen said that the company's in-house expertise has enabled it to creat this new offering, and it has enabled them to successfully navigate the different Customs and border requirements to bring this new product to market.
Spokesmen added that South East Asia is a dynamic market and, as a heavily travelled corridor for freight movements, is a critical link in the supply chains of many global organizations. The service was developed in response to the needs of customers who have to balance speed and timely shipments throughout South East Asia with a cost-effective and reliable service.

Sunday Grand Bargain Alert! Woodward Leak--Obama-Boehner "Grand Bargain" Agreement
Gang of Six -- Cartoon
Are you ready for some "shared sacrifice?"

[Hat Tip to Mr. Alexa for tipping me off to this leak.]
White House Grand Bargain offer to Speaker Boehner
Obtained by Bob Woodward Sun Nov 11, 2012 11:58 AM EST
Below are documents obtained by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward that show a grand bargain proposal the White House was prepared to make in July 2011, in order to reach agreement with the House Republicans last year. This is how Woodward described the documents on Meet the Press this morning:
"This is a confidential document, last offer the president -- the White House made last year to Speaker Boehner to try to reach this $4 trillion grand bargain. And it's long and it's tedious and it's got budget jargon in it. But what it shows is a willingness to cut all kinds of things, like TRICARE, which is the sacred health insurance program for the military, for military retirees; to cut Social Security; to cut Medicare. And there are some lines in there about, "We want to get tax rates down, not only for individuals but for businesses." So Obama and the White House were willing to go quite far."
