The Patriots deserve shiny particpation trophies and a party at Chucky Cheese
That was a terrible season - every game against a tough team - they lost. Accepting that is teh reason why it has happened 7 straight years.
Give me a break. If they are so bad why bother watching the team. They beat the Broncos, Colts and Texans twice. The Ravens are a better team, oh well thats life. Stop the incessant whining. They do not owe you anything.
no one said they were bad. You emotionalism is out of control.
It's just not a great season. they lost to a lousy baltimore team at home. they lost every game against tough teams.
Houston and the colts? Seriously?
If you really love something - you have to be honest about it. You love the Patriots and want them to succeed but you are also willing to lie about how poorly they played and how soft they are?
You are part of the enabling fan base.
People who really love the team are hoonest because they want to see better results.
My emotionalism. Who's whining like a baby. The Ravens won back to back against the Broncos and the Patriots on the road. They are the better team.

Associated Press Release
ACWORTH, Ga. (AP) -- A suburban Atlanta man has restored a Bible that belonged to Martin Luther King Jr. so that it can be used in President Barack Obama's inauguration.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports (http://bit.ly/XhH6Qb) that Gordon Ponsford of Acworth contracted with the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change to prepare the Bible for Obama's inauguration ceremony on Monday.
Ponsford said the work involved reattaching leather to the slain civil rights leader's traveling Bible.
Ponsford's assistant, Julie Julian of Wildwood, compared the word to taking a raggedy doll and making it look new again.

|Edmonds closes HS career with three #1 medals
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
HHS senior Mark Edmonds took the long way to the top, but when the final buzzer sounded on four overtimes, he claimed the 132-lb. 2A Colorado State Wrestling championship.
The long way started when Edmonds finished as regional runner-up to Alex Klopp of Yuma. Even though Edmonds was a two-time returning state champ, the regional finish seeded him sixth in this year's state tourney.
He had a tough quarterfinal match which he pulled off with a narrow 1-0 win over eventual third-place finisher Clay Seeman of Baca County.
Edmonds went on to take a second-period pin in the semis to set the stage for a rematch with Klopp.
It wasn't a new scenario. In fact it was the exact same scenario from a year ago. Klopp defeated Edmonds in regionals, then the Dragon grappler came back for the state win.
Mark Edmonds is in control over Alex Klopp of Yuma in the 2A 132-lb.
But this year Klopp had been wrestling at 126 all season and bumped up a weight class for regionals to pair up the two Northeast Colorado seniors. Klopp finished on top 3-1 to claim the number-one seed in the state tournament bracket.
Under the big lights Saturday night at the Pepsi Center, Edmonds scored first on an escape in the second period and almost got takedown points as the period ended.
Klopp tied it with an escape midway through the third and final regulation period, and the 1-1 tie withstood three overtime periods.
Scoring first was key to the win, as it gave Edmonds the choice of top or bottom in the fourth overtime. Coach Jack Garrison planned it that way, according to Edmonds.
Opting for the top, all Edmonds had to do was ride out the final 30 seconds for the 2-1 win. He mastered that with confidence and the Dragon fans erupted with emotion.
Edmonds admits he just wasn't on top of his game at regionals. It was tough because he really wanted those regional titles.
"I know when I have to get things done and how to do them," said Edmonds as he described his path from number six seed to state champion.
He said he always wrestles his best at the state tournament, and that, of course, is where it counts most.
Mark Edmonds' family and friends are ecstatic as he survives four overtime periods to claim a 2-1 state championship in the 132-lb. weight class at the 2012 Colorado State Wrestling Championships. —Enterprise photo
In the championship, Edmonds said he knew he needed a takedown. When he almost got it at the end of the second period, he sensed he was into Klopp's head, and that gave him confidence.
Coach Garrison praised Edmonds for "a great match." Extremely pleased with the Dragon senior's three state titles," Garrison attributed the success to Edmonds' hard work.
"He's wrestled all over the country and put in time and effort, and it's paid off for him. I'm glad I could be part of it," added Garrison.
"It's tough to get two state championships and even tougher to get three," said the coach. "It's a great career he's had."
With humble appreciation, Edmonds thanked his team, coaches and family—"especially my dad."
On the way to the top
On his way to the championship, Edmonds kicked off his fourth-straight state tournament appearance with a pin in 1:21 over John Mall senior John Burch.
Meeting second-seeded Seeman in the quarterfinals was a tough route, but Edmonds survived with a 1-0 decision. His second-period escape gave him the win.

Edmonds was never in trouble in the good, controlled match, said coach Garrison. But it was a tough one. "He beat a good one," the coach added.
In his semifinal match with Bryce McCracken of Crowley County, Edmonds led 4-0 before securing the fall in 3:34. Edmonds wrestled more offensively, which coach Garrison likes.
Edmonds finishes 142-17; heads to Bucknell
With an impressive 142-17 high school career record, Edmonds looks forward to wrestling for Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. He received the school's top scholarship when he signed his national letter of intent last November.
Edmonds started strong his freshman year when he went 36-4 and placed third at 103 lbs.
As a sophomore he was 29-2 and won the 112-lb. state title; last year he finished 40-5 with a 125-lb. title and this year's season record was 37-6 including the 132-lb. state championship.
Edmonds, along with a 3A wrestler from Olathe and a 5A wrestler from Regis Jesuit, boosted the all-time count for Colorado three-time state champions to 87.
The only other Dragon to achieve three-time state champion status is Chad Stroh, who won state titles in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Mark Edmonds seeks out his dad, Bert, after claiming his third-straight state wrestling title Saturday night.
The senior wrestler kept with tradition by giving his dad the coin flipper disk used for his championship match.

Hi all,
Decided to try the challenge this month. I've got some time and, well, ruined is my thing.
Okay. So this is from my fantasy setting. The story, and I'll provide a full one later, is that this was once a town on the southern steppes of Minguo. It's not exactly a unified country...having only held together as a cohesive unit under the First Emperor. When he died, the various factions/geographies of the former nation fell to squabbling in various configurations. They've been doing that for thousands of years. The modern times are known as the Five Kingdoms period. As you might expect, there are five major kingdoms vying for supremacy.
In the meantime, in the rugged southern steppes of Minguo, the fierce orc worg-lord tribes gather and occasionally raid into the heartlands (when they can stop fighting amongst themselves for long enough). They long ago destroyed the southernmost cities and now hold these lands as their own. The city depicted was once a thriving trading city called Ningan. Well, that was long ago, of course. Now there are just a few crumbling walls, spare paving stones, and bridge abutments still standing. An ork tribe has built its own village amidst the ruins. The tribes leader fancies himself the reincarnation of Krakka Kon...but he's really just a pretender in shabby wolf skins.
Yeah. So. This is just a rough draft.

Reassessing the county executive
(Page 3 of 3)
We also like his plan to consolidate county police precincts. We simply don't need eight separate precinct headquarters. Police officers do most of their work in their cars. The precinct buildings are mainly used for holding prisoners and picking up traffic reports.
But Mangano broke a county promise when he redirected the proceeds of the red-light cameras, which were supposed to be earmarked for youth service agencies. He yanked the money away from dozens of agencies, leaving many of those organizations floundering. The money has been repurposed to cover other county expenses it was never meant for.
We also still question Mangano's plan to sell the county's sewer system to a private operator — or whatever the details of the plan are this week. He has been unable to offer any proof that this will actually be a good thing for residents. And while it will be a one-shot benefit to the county's coffers, we're not sure it won't wind up costing residents more in the long run.

ObamaCare: The Ultimate Economic De-Motivator.
The most obvious features of recent political and financial "solutions" are their staggering complexity and their failure to fix what's broken. The first leads to the second. Consider the healthcare "reform," thousands of pages of mind-numbing complexity which slathers on thick layers of bureaucratic control on a system which already costs twice as much per capita as competing developed-world systems. – Charles Hugh Smith Of | Read More »

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The clock in winding down and medical marijuana supporters are now hustling to gather 1 million signatures from registered Florida voters by mid-January. Their goal is to get medical marijuana on the states 2014 ballot.
This weekend volunteers from a group called United for Care may approach you. Just last week campaign manager, Ben Pallara says volunteers collected 100,000 signatures and on Saturday, they'll have an event called Day of Action all across the state.
At just two and half years old, Cathy Klein says her son Sean had his first seizure and seven years later he has at least one episode every day.
"It's really difficult," said Klein. "It's been difficult for us because we have not been able to find a way to control his seizures."
Now working with neurologist number eight, Klein says she's been told there's nothing more that can be done to help her son.
"The answers just aren't out there," said Klein. "We've tried everything that we can try. The only thing left is what's not legal in Florida and that's medical marijuana."
Klein is among hundreds of volunteers working with United for Care. Pollara says they've collected nearly 700,000 signatures around the state. But those signatures need to be verified. From there the battle continues. The Supreme Court will make a ruling on the constitutionality of the language in their proposal. All while opponents including the attorney general, work to keep the proposal off the ballot.
As many fear the effects medicinal marijuana could have on not just patients but the state as a whole, Klein waits, hoping she'll soon be able to take her son's future into her own hands.
"I need to be able to do what it takes to help my child," said Klein. "Any parent would do anything."
By February 1, 2014 there needs to be 683,149 signatures from registered voters collected.

Good skin care should go beyond the basic steps such as cleansing, toning and moisturizing. While we rely on the basics every day for great skin, we can all benefit enormously from a regular treatment two or three times a week. ARCONA Masks were developed to give the skin an extra dose of what it needs the most. These specialized treatments are kept on the skin for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinsed off to reveal healthier skin.
ARCONA Masks can help other products in your skin care system work better by preparing the skin and allowing it to absorb active ingredients. After removing your mask, make sure to apply a moisturizer in order to lock in hydration and prevent dryness. You can also apply any treatment products. ARCONA Masks are not meant to replace any of your current skin care steps. Instead, these specialized treatments should be considered a complement to any regular personal care regimen. ARCONA Masks are luxurious and pampering products that offer a spa like experience right in the bathroom. Relax and treat yourself as well as your skin to a delightful and beneficial home facial.
Before considering one of the ARCONA Masks, consider your skin type and concerns. This will help you determine which treatment is right for you.
Oily and acne prone skin types can greatly benefit from a regular deep cleansing and purifying mask. Even though daily care with an effective cleanser and acne fighting product can clear up skin and help maintain a blemish free complexion, regular use of ARCONA Tea Tree Mask can be a very useful tool in ridding the pores of clogging debris. This mask contains the natural bacterial elements of tea tree which help to control acne causing bacteria without creating dryness and irritation. Natural sulfur draws out impurities and toxins while calming the skin and reducing acne related inflammation. Healing allantoin and lavender help speed skin recovery to eliminate breakouts faster. ARCONA Tea Tree Mask also contains salicylic acid to keep the pores clear.
Even when using the best daily moisturizer available, dry types may still feel the need for extra moisture. ARCONA Wine Hydrating Mask contains ingredients that help bind moisture to the skin. Oils from borage and macadamia nourish and revitalize dull and tired skin. This is a balancing and soothing formula that helps encourage skin cell renewal, therefore reducing wrinkles and improving firmness.

St. Louis (KSDK) - A man has been charged after a robbery last week in which the suspect forced three juveniles to remove their clothing at gunpoint.
The Circuit Attorney's Office charged 32-year-old Donrico Holmes with eight counts of armed criminal action, two counts of first-degree robbery, two counts of sexual abuse, two counts of attempted first-degree robbery, one count of attempted sexual abuse, and one count of first-degree assault.
St. Louis police say they received a call around 11:45 p.m. July 23 after three females, ages 12, 15, and 16-years-old, were approached by a man in the 4400 block of Elmbank.
The victims told police the man made inappropriate contact with the two older girls, then forced all three to remove their clothing at gunpoint.
The man stole cell phones from the older girls before leaving the scene.
A composite sketch was released earlier this week by police.
Holmes is not yet in custody.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts should call CrimeStoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous, and may be eligible for a $1,000 cash reward.

Celebrity Vineyards – Book Review
In his book Celebrity Vineyards, Nick Wise tours celebrity vineyards in California, Canada, Italy and Spain. These vineyards are owned by actors, race car drivers, people in the music family and even the family of Walt Disney. In each winery profile, the author provides an overview of the winery, the winery's history, the vintners connection to the winery or the desire to own a winery and tasting notes for the winery's signature wines. It's a fun way to look at wineries and makes me want to hit the road and try all of them.

Hi guys!
I'm in here to raise some attention and hopefully some votes for bug 444. The bug was opened in 2005 and requests the implementation of a new search criteria for determining if a mail is tagged or not. The backend work was done fairly quickly and the only thing needed was to add the keyword to the user interface. At least that was then, probably the backend has changed since.
I find it very strange that the function was not finished back in the day but hopefully it can be finished now. It is an important function for me as I want to tag all my incoming and outgoing mail. In Outlook at work I have a routine to open a saved view with only untagged (uncategorized) mail and go through and tagging them. I do this every now and then to make sure I haven't missed tagging anything.
The last comment I got in a forum thread from Zimbra was that the bug is probably low priority due to the low number of votes. I'm hoping this message will change that!

Iowa State tops Kansas on Senior Day
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State Cyclone swimming and diving team (7-3-1, 2-1 Big 12) stormed back to claim a win over conference rival Kansas (7-5, 0-2 Big 12) after starting the day with a 1-point deficit, 163.5-136.5.
Including first places finishes in the 1-meter and 50 freestyle events last night, the Cyclones touched the wall first in six-consecutive events to take their largest lead of the contest, 126.5-99.5, with four events left on the schedule.
"We had the opportunity to win the first four events of this morning's session, and we took advantage of that opportunity," Iowa State head swimming coach Duane Sorenson said. "All of the races were contested, but we got our hands to the wall first."
Sorenson, now in his 17th season at the helm of the program, said that this year's team is one of the most competitive in Iowa State history.
The top breaststroker in the Iowa State record books, Imelda Wistey, had a veteran performance on senior day by taking first in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:20.69 and a third place finish in the 200 IM with a time of 2:09.82.
"It's such an emotional day, and (Wistey) just kept her composure and kept her stroke together," Sorenson said of his senior leader. "She finished off like the true champion that she is."
In the diving well, Iowa State sophomore Elyse Brouillette took first in the 3-meter event in convincing fashion, outscoring second-place finisher Alysa Golden of Kansas by 40.87 with a score of 312.22. Brouillette came off a scratched performance on day one.
"I came into today trying to erase yesterday from my mind," Brouillette said. "I've just got to come in, have fun, and do what I do."
Junior Amanda Paulson and freshman Brooke Evensen got things started for the Cyclones with a one-three finish in the 100 freestyle with times of 0:51.46 and 0:52.88, respectively.
Canada native Karyl Clarete outpaced the field in the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:56.95 to claim the largest lead of the contest for Iowa State, 126.5-99.5. The Cyclones finished today's session with a first-place finish in the 400 freestyle relay behind Evensen, Paulson, Savanna Townsend, and Clarete who touched in a time of 2:28.90.
Seven Iowa State seniors competed in their final competition at Beyer Hall. Wistey, who claimed her 68th career first place finish today, was among them.
"I feel so blessed. I don't think words can describe how grateful I am for this team," Wistey said. "I wouldn't have been able to do the things that I have done if it weren't for this team."

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - So where is all the action?
Unlike last year in Dallas where big signings seemed to come in by the minute,
these Winter Meetings have been a ho-hum affair thus far.
No offense to Mike Napoli and Angel Pagan, of course.
So, with nothing cooking with regards to the two big ticket items on the free
agent market - Josh Hamilton and Zack Greinke - the biggest name being floated
around in trade discussions continues to be New York Mets Cy Young Award
winner R.A. Dickey.
The more you hear, the more you begin to realize that he will not be pitching
in Flushing next season. And that's not a bad thing either.
Dickey is 38 years old. Reports last week said he'd be happy signing a two-
year deal, but now we hear he wants three years. His trade value is never
going to be higher than it is right now. In case you haven't noticed the Mets
are not going to compete for anything in the foreseeable future. They need to
rebuild and this is a way to do it.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, Kansas City Royals, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers and
now the Baltimore Orioles are all in on the knuckleballer, plus a team or two
we probably don't even know about. The Mets are looking for a catcher and some
outfield help. It may not get done this week, but it's going to get done.
Dickey is a goner.
And again, that's not a bad thing.
Speaking of Greinke, he's really holding up the action here. Once he finds a
home, then you'll see the likes of Edwin Jackson, Kyle Lohse, Dan Haren and
others fall in line. The trade talk then really might get going if the Tampa
Bay Rays lure the Greinke losers with Matt Moore or James Shields.
The Dodgers and Rangers still appear to be the frontrunners with the Angels
lurking in the shadows on Greinke. Don't count the Halos out here. They moved
on from Dan Haren and dealt Ervin Santana with the thinking they'd re-sign
Greinke. I wouldn't count them out just yet.
Another intriguing name that popped up in trade discussions on Monday was that
of Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera. Apparently the Indians are looking
for four players and had the framework for a deal in place that would have
seen them get a major league pitcher and two prospects. Talks broke off when
the Tribe asked for a third prospect.
But, like we we've learned in the past. Believe nothing.
Some other rumblings:
*The Detroit Tigers top bullpen priority continues to be Rafael Soriano and
they would like to get something done this week.
*Philadelphia is running out of outfield options. They lost out on B.J. Upton
and Angel Pagan and now could go running back to Shane Victorino. The Phils
don't appear to be in on speedster Michael Bourn, though. Could Nick Swisher
be an option?
*Heading into these meetings a surprisingly active name was first baseman Adam
LaRoche. However, that market has dried up with the Red Sox signing Mike
Napoli and the Rays agreeing with James Loney. It looks as if it will be a
Battle of the Beltway for LaRoche's services with the Nationals obviously
holding the edge.
*The Seattle Mariners seem to be the most interested in Hamilton, but the lack
of discussion surrounding him is just bizarre. You almost get the feeling
that he may just land with one of the Phillies, Red Sox or Yankees after all.
Still, most feel he'll wind up re-signing with the Rangers.

Baltimore Residents Leery About U.S. Involvement in Syria
Anthony Stanton, of Baltimore, said he began keeping up with the coverage in Syria following news reports of the devastation following the use of chemical weapons against Syrian civilians.
But while acknowledges the horror of such attacks, he believes that U.S. involvement would lead to the conflict getting out of hand and thousands of troops, including many young African Americans, being deployed there.
"Going to war [would] be an injustice," said Stanton, 28, a neo-soul and jazz musician. "I don't think it will be a good idea. We've already lost…thousands of our people in war and to go right back would be an injustice to the American people."
Stanton said the U.S. government should first consider other options, such as negotiations and conflict resolution before waging war on Syria. The Belair-Edison resident said his cousin, who served in the U.S. Navy for four years, "heavily discouraged" him from joining the military.
"If they did a draft I would be going to jail," said Stanton. "I refuse to be solicited somewhere I am not welcomed."
Glen Oak resident, Gregory Prince, 27, who works as a police officer in Baltimore city, said he had not been paying much attention to the pending conflict in Syria.
He said he heard the United States is "supposedly going to war."
Unlike Stanton, Prince, who comes from a military background, said he would be proud to serve his country if drafted. He said both of his parents and his cousins all served in the military and he initially wanted to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps.
"I'm the first person in my family who decided not to go into the military," said Prince. "My mom didn't want me to go, mostly because I am an only child."
Prince said he believes the war would bring negative attention to the United States. He said the country should take care of local and national issues before acting on the international stage.
Charlotte Simmons, 61, who works in an African shop in the Charles Village area, agrees that the United States should first focus on domestic concerns. Simmons said she is also concerned about the cost of the United States' involvement in Syria.
"We just had two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan where we spent gobs of money," said Simmons. "There are other needs…like healthcare and education. People are hungry. People are homeless. There are no jobs."
She said she is uncertain about U.S. involvement in Syria and questions what it will mean for the future of the United States.
"Even though we are looked at as a powerful country, I don't think we should be the country to run and save everyone," Simmons said.

Experience propels East Meadow
1 2 Next page >
Sometimes there is just no substitute for experience.
East Meadow bounced back from a tough, 11-10, double-overtime girls' lacrosse defeat to Floral Park on May 1, with a 14-12 non-conference victory over Bellmore JFK last Friday. Eight different players in all scored goals, led by senior midfielder Emily Fitzsimmons, who tallied five.
The Lady Jets (7-6 overall, 6-2 in Conference AA-II) were still jockeying for playoff position heading into the regular-season finale against Mineola after presstime, thanks in large part to a group of upperclass players that totals 19 (nine seniors and 10 juniors.)
"It's definitely a first time for that," coach Colleen Hickey said of having so many veterans on the field. "It comes down to their experience. They want to be here, and they're great teammates and great role models to their younger teammates."
Fitzsimmons, the team leader in goals (34), has gotten plenty of help around the net as 15 different players have scored at least once. Junior midfielder Kristina Sanicola has 26 scores, while senior midfielder Jackie O'Leary has 19 goals and a team-high 12 assists. The list of goal-scoring contributors also includes senior attack Katie O'Neil, senior midfielder Nicole Provenzano, junior attack Nicole Moniello, Paige Famularo, Adriana Guglielmo and Rebecca Alzfan. Senior attack Ashley DiPinto is also rounding into form after missing time to due to injury.
"We have a wide variety of people who can score," Hickey said, noting that the midfield is comprised of four seniors and the attack loaded with juniors and seniors. "We have a lot of girls that are skilled and contribute."

Leder's big break came when she worked on Amblin Television's highly successful drama "ER" (NBC), inaugurating her relationship with Steven Spielberg. She won two Emmys (one for directing, the other as co-executive producer) before Spielberg tapped her to make her feature debut, helming DreamWorks' first live-action feature "The Peacemaker" (1997), starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman. Entrusted with the $50 million project, Leder brought the thriller in under budget thanks to her TV training.Leder directed another big-budget film for DreamWorks, "Deep Impact" (1998), about an asteroid on a collision course with the earth, handed to her by a Spielberg who had originally intended to dire...

WINTERSVILLE - Super sophomore Bre Berryman definitely is the real deal. On Saturday afternoon against Union Local, her Indian Creek friends weren't bad either.
The reigning Eastern District Division II Player of the Year scored a game-high 26 as the Redskins cruised to a 59-34 Buckeye 8 victory. The triumph moves Erin DeSantis' club to 2-1 after the first week of the season.
Berryman also hauled down 14 rebounds, swatted away eight Union Local shots and dished out a team high four assists. She had 14 points at the half, hitting all seven of her shots.
Junior Kiarra Kamarec contributed 11 points and eight boards while Brooke Mains, the junior point guard, also had eight rebounds and assisted on three Creek hoops.
The other two members of DeSantis' "iron five," junior Kristen Shimko and freshman Bethany Davis split 16 points. Davis was a perfect four for four from the floor.
On the defensive end, the Redskins really picked things up after the intermission, holding the Jets to just eight points (none in the fourth quarter).
Saturday's contest actually was a nip and tuck affair through the first two periods. A Kamarec hoop off a Berryman feed gave the Redskins a 15-13 lead after one.
Dallas Montag buried a triple midway through the second to put the Jets ahead 26-25. Creek closed with a 6-0 run (Shimko had a hoop and Davis two) to grab a 31-26 halftime advantage.

Images: Artillerymen overcome stress, fear during Mobile Immersion Trainer [Image 9 of 18]
Photo by Cpl. Joseph Scanlan
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Kasey Erokhin, co-owner of KBZ FX special effects medical training support system, applies special effects moulage to Capt. Shawn Ridings, assistant operations officer, Tango Battery, 5th Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, and a native of Bonney Lake, Wash., to simulate an open fracture casualty during a training exercise at the Mobile Immersion Trainer here, Nov. 14, 2013. The MIT is similar to the Infantry Immersion Trainer and trains Marines to operate under stressful conditions. Throughout the morning, the battery simulated operating out of a base and posted security while mock insurgents attempted to breach the area and formed riots. The artillerymen later conducted a logistics patrol and recovered a broken vehicle, countered an improvised explosive device and repelled enemy role-players during an ambush. The battery is slated to continue predeployment training before deploying to Afghanistan this winter.

Indie Theater Roundup: 7 Movies to See This Week
Halloween has arrived early this year thanks to the weekend's two biggest major-studio releases – The Final Destination (in 3-D!) and Rob Zombie's latest supplement to the never-ending saga of famed serial killer Michael Myers. If you don't feel like celebrating, there are several excellent alternatives now playing at an indie theater near you.
How the Banks Brought Us to Our Knees: Filmmakers Leslie and Andrew Cockburn Talk 'American Casino'
Leslie and Andrew Cockburn are no strangers to scandals. In fact, they've spent much of their professional lives exposing them, both in print and on the screen.
After working in NBC's London news bureau, Leslie, who grew up in San Francisco and was among the first women to graduate from Yale, covered America's Contra War in Nicaragua for CBS during the '80s. Out of Control, her written account of the conflict and the arms-for-hostages controversy that followed, earned her the prestigious George Polk Award for excellence in journalism.
Indie Theater Roundup: 7 Movies to See This Week
Quentin Tarantino's reimagining of World War II arrives this weekend, along with a host of compelling documentaries and another gripping (and significantly more fact-based) tale of Resistance heroism, Flame & Citron. Here as always are some of the finest films now playing at an indie theater near you.

Editorial: Sheriff asking for too much, too fast
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 10:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 10:19 p.m.
Some say Sheriff Chris Blair's record $17 million budget-increase request is justified because Great-Recession spending rollbacks have left the agency ill-equipped, undermanned and underpaid. Others say Blair campaigned on the promise that he could make ends meet through economies and efficiencies within the department and is now breaking his word. Still others concede the new sheriff needs additional funding for the aforementioned needs but see his demands for so much, so soon as impractical and political tone-deafness.
Blair's request for a property-tax hike, a law-enforcement assessment increase and a half-percent sales tax all at once is a brazen money grab that could come to define, or maybe ill-define, the sheriff's tenure.
We do not question the need for new patrol cars or more deputies or better pay for Sheriff's Office employees.
But what Blair is seeking is too much, too fast, and it sends an unmitigated message that the sheriff believes his agency's needs surpass all other community needs, no matter how critical, including education and health care.
In case the sheriff hasn't been paying attention, the community is in the midst of relinquishing control of its award-winning public hospital because the people would not support a tax increase. Our schools are in the midst of cutting more than 500 positions, including the layoffs of 161 teachers, that everyone agrees will diminish the quality of public education in our community and comes on the heels of voters rejecting two small tax increases for the schools.
Blair describes the Sheriff's Office that he inherited from Ed Dean as in "dire financial need." So are our schools, which are being reduced to putting substitute teachers in hundreds of classrooms. So are the uninsured residents of our community — totalling some 80,000 and growing — who have no health care coverage and, as a result, no regular health care.
Blair says he is working on a five-year plan for overcoming the shortcomings of the Sheriff's Office. That is the right approach to fixing what ails the agency. Not wild-eyed demands — a proposed 26 percent budget increase in one year — that Blair has been told the community cannot, will not meet. Not threats of curtailed law enforcement services and increased danger on our streets, when, in fact, crime is down from previous years.
Blair ran as a veteran lawman and is finding out quickly that the sheriff's job is as much that of an administrator as a lawman — maybe more. It is also part of the job to be a community leader who helps uplift the lives of Marion Countians beyond fighting crime and locking up criminals — and that means better education, better health care, better economic prospects. Do those things, and the sheriff's job as a crime-fighter is easier.
The new sheriff is coming into office at the end of what is the worst economic time of our lifetimes. There is no doubt he needs additional funding to rebuild the agency's resources. But asking for a record budget increase and a triple tax hike all in his first year is too much, too fast.

Photo by Cpl. Marcin Platek
Staff Sgt. Jacob Johnson, an assistant drum major for the Marine Corps Band New Orleans, leads the Marine Corps Band New Orleans during a parade on the South Side of Chicago, Aug. 15. The Marine band also joined Navy Band Great Lakes to perform during the War of 1812 Commemoration celebrations in Chicago. A three-year national celebration honoring the War of 1812 and "The Star-Spangled Banner" began in New Orleans in April 2012 with other celebrations taking place in New York, Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland and other cities. The Marine Corps Band New Orleans undertook a seven-week trip to Northern United States to perform during these events. The Marine Corps' role in this event reinforces its naval character and showcases the Navy-Marine Corps team.

JOHN SEEWER, Associated Press
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - A rural school district in Ohio is drawing attention with its plans to arm a handful of its non-teaching employees with handguns this year - perhaps even janitors.
Officials say four employees in the Montpelier schools have agreed to take a weapons training course and carry their own guns inside the district's one building.
Superintendent Jamie Grime said Friday that "it's kind of a sign of the times."
The Toledo Blade reported that the employees were janitors. School officials would tell The Associated Press only that they were employees who don't directly supervise students and volunteered to carry a gun.
The move comes as districts and lawmakers across the nation weigh how to protect students following the December school massacre in Newtown, Conn.

One "Breaking Bad" fan is now the proud owner of a very intimate piece of TV history after paying almost $10,000 for actor Bryan Cranston's tighty-whities.
The white underwear worn by Cranston's meth-making character Walter White on the show's pilot went under the hammer and raised a staggering $9,900.
The sale, held over 10 days in New Mexico, gave avid viewers the chance to own part of the drama.
Other items which pulled in major amounts included White's inscribed edition of poetry book "Leaves of Grass," which sold for $65,000, while a Cadillac from the show pulled in $19,750 and the pivotal pink teddy bear earned another $23,250.
In total, the auction raised around $1 million, which will benefit the Goodwill of New Mexico programs.

CHESTER, Pa. (AP) - Patrick Mullins scored his 17th and 18th goals of the season to lead Maryland to a 2-1 victory over Virginia in the NCAA men's soccer semifinals Friday night at PPL Park.
The Terrapins (17-3-5) will vie for their third national championship in the last nine years when they face Notre Dame - a 2-0 winner over New Mexico in the first semifinal - the title game Sunday.
Mullins scored in the 11th and the 76th minutes, receiving perfect lofted through balls on both goals - the first from Mikias Eticha and the second from Tsubasa Endoh.
Trailing 2-0 with time running out, Virginia (13-6-5) got on the board after Maryland's Dan Metzger took down Marcus Salandy-Defour in the box and Todd Wharton scored the ensuing penalty kick in the 77th minute.
Maryland goalie Zack Steffen, from the Philadelphia area, finished with five saves, including a diving stop on Brian James with less than three minutes remaining to preserve the win.
Mullins, a finalist to win his second straight MAC Hermann Trophy as the nation's best player, leads Division I in scoring this season and is second in Maryland history with 46 goals. The Terps have lost only once in four years when Mullins scores.

Take earth back.An ancient alien race, known only as "Reapers", has launched an all-out invasion leaving nothing but a trail of destruction in their wake. Earth has been taken, the galaxy is on the verge of total annihilation, and you are the only one who can stop them. The price of failure is extinction.
You are Commander Shepard, a character that you can forge in your own image. You determine how events will play out, which planets to explore, and whom to form alliances with as you rally a force to eliminate the Reaper threat once and for all. How you wage this war is completely up to you: go into combat with guns blazing or use cover to plan a more tactical assault. Utilize your squad to full effect or take a lone wolf approach. Rain death from a distance or go toe--to-toe with enemies using devastating melee attacks. Mass Effect 3 will react to each decision you make as you play through a truly unique experience of your own creation. The war for Earth has begun, decide how it ends.

Incredible Series
This review is from: Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Storyline is very deep. It will draw you in to the point where you are excited to progress and see what the characters will do next. You will find yourself completely engrossed in their personalities, histories, and the adventures they go through together. The battle system has improved since the first Mass Effect. Choices made all the way back in the first Mass Effect make big differences in the second and third.
Cons: The only real con I can think of is that one of the key traits of the first Mass Effect was just massive maps. They have been shrunk down and just don't feel as expansive anymore. Sure, the backgrounds look very vivid and open, but it just isn't as explorable.
Other Thoughts: I don't usually have much time for video games anymore, but playing this game was more like reading an amazing book than playing the average mindless shooter. This is true art.

Nice 40" HDTV
This review is from: Xbox 360 Game
Pros: I bought this TV mostly for gaming. In that regard it won't disappoint.There is not input lag at all. The colors are crisp and vivid and there is a plethora of options to adjust different settings to your liking. Network setup was a breeze with zero problems. Sound is as good as it gets for HDTV speakers.
Cons: Blacks could be better. Slight back light bleeding only noticeable on dark scenes, but its there. Some dark scenes on video games might show a little bit of ghosting.
Other Thoughts: Haven't try any 3D movies so I can't comment on that. TV came with two pairs of 3D glasses. Overall I'm satisfied with the purchase. Keep in mind that you could buy a bigger TV at this price point. In my case it's the perfect size from where I sit on my man cave.

Endign of one of the greatest series ever!

Cons: DLC "From Ashes" not included, and that was a big story changer.

Fantastic game
This review is from: Xbox 360 Game
Pros: This game was awesome, I was able to keep the same character I created and molded from the previous ME 1 and ME 2. I absolutely love that feature. I love that all my decisions from all the games ultimately determined what my ending would be. I'm aware that several people were displeased with the end game. Well I for one loved my ending. Apparently the one I had was by far the best one. Goes to show you, is you make poor decisions. There's a good chance nothing good will come out of it. Lol I love that people were so mad with their bad endings. So flipping hilarious. I didn't always do good deeds, but I think I made the best decisions I could for the greater good. Awesome game!!
Cons: None, the story was great. No bugs, no problems. No need to add new features when the ones they had were already awesome.
Other Thoughts: Buy it!!

Solid Finish
This review is from: Xbox 360 Game
Pros: There's a lot to like about Mass Effect 3. The combat system is improved (the cover system is now very similar to Gears of War), it includes an entertaining and long-lasting co-op multiplayer mode, and a plot which will keep you riveted and faced with choices of galactic significance.
Cons: The ending was kind of lame. It is pre-packaged, not really taking your choices throughout the series into account.
Other Thoughts: Great games are identifiable by the fact that you must nitpick to find flaws.

too bad, suckers
This review is from: Xbox 360 Game
Pros: A couple of well-written characters, as per usual for Bioware. Not much else.
Cons: The transformation of Bioware into a hollow shell of its former self is complete. It's not just the ending that sucks; BW couldn't write a consistent plot if they had Shakespeare on staff. The gameplay is so mindless and trivial that a 6 year-old can master it. It's very clear they understand that there are many stupid people in the world and that they can make more money selling them a mediocre game than making a good game for less profit.
Other Thoughts: The 6 year-old mentioned? My neighbor's kid, who breezed through the game over the course of a weekend and said I could have it. I gave her dad a 6-pack as compensation. It's time to face the fact that Bioware's peak was more than 10 years ago and their decline only accelerated when they sold out to EA. If you paid money for this tripe, get therapy.

The Lesser of Three Parts
This review is from: Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Its a Mass Effect game, great gameplay, strong story elements, hours of entertainment. The online play is really fun and not just an "add on"
Cons: Brings nothing new to the table. Feels rushed and is the least of the three games in the series proceeded by ME and ME2 (being the best). The ending was terrible and pretty much ensured I won't be playing this game again even though I have played ME and ME2 multiple times. Also, the DLC is really overpriced.
Other Thoughts: I had no choice but to buy this game and finish the series, but if it was a standalone title, I would have waited for it to drop to less than $20...and from the way things look...it's dropping pretty quickly.

|Swimmers take on Eaton, Northridge
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
When the Skyline meet fell through for the HHS swimmers Thursday, Jan. 17, the team felt fortunate that the Eaton and Northridge coaches expanded their dual to a triangular to include Holyoke.
Coach Luke Thomas reported the girls weren't able to gain enough points to take down Eaton, but they did defeat Northridge.
Team points in the North-ridge dual came down to the last event when Lori McWilliams, the anchor for the 400 free relay, outreached Eaton's swimmer to the wall, giving Holyoke a first place in the event and enough points to defeat Northridge.
McWilliams was joined by teammates Dani Brandt, LaKyla Moore and Jayden Durbin to not only win the 400 free relay event, but to place second in both the 200 free and the 200 medley relays.
HHS swim team members share a light moment after warm-ups and before competition at the Jan. 17 triangular in Eaton. Team members are pictured, clockwise, starting at far left, Jayden Durbin, Malena McWilliams, Meg Strauss, Jentry Andersen, Dani Brandt, Anastasia Conklin, Katlin Davis, LaKyla Moore, Brittney Prottsman, Ashley Humphreys and Lori McWilliams.
In individual events, second-place finishes were earned by Brandt in the 200 free, Moore in the 100 butterfly and Brittney Prottsman in the 500 free.
Lori McWilliams placed third in the 50 free, Ashley Humphreys fourth in the 200 free and fifth in the 100 backstroke, Jentry Andersen fourth in the 100 free and Durbin fifth in the 100 breaststroke.
Anastasia Conklin set two new personal records in the 50 free and 100 free.
This week, the Dragons have another triangular meet with Estes Park and Northridge at the Greeley Rec Center. The conference meet is Feb. 1-2 at the Greeley Rec Center, followed by state championships Feb. 8-9 to end the season.

Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Kemba Walker made big plays late in a 20-
point scoring effort and the Charlotte Bobcats avoided another losing streak
by beating the Pistons, 108-101, in overtime at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Walker scored on a floater in the final seconds of regulation to force
overtime and gave Charlotte a six-point cushion in the extra session with a
reverse layup to seal the victory and deny the Pistons of their first five-
game winning streak since 2009.
Bismack Biyombo totaled 10 points and 17 rebounds, while Ben Gordon and Ramon
Sessions put forth strong efforts off the bench with 18 and 15 points,
respectively, in the Bobcats' second win in three games.
Tayshaun Prince scored a game-high 21 points to go along with seven boards for
the Pistons, who received 18 points apiece from Greg Monroe and Rodney
Stuckey. Monroe also finished with 14 rebounds and six assists in the defeat.

Montreal, QC (Sports Network) - Steve Ott netted a pair of goals, including
the game-winner 2:44 into overtime, as the Buffalo Sabres came through with a
3-2 triumph over Montreal to end the Canadiens' five-game win streak.
Tyler Ennis also scored and Jhonas Enroth turned in a solid 32-save
performance to help the cellar-dwelling Sabres top their Northeast Division
rivals and prevail for only the second time in their last eight outings.
Ville Leino contributed a pair of assists to the victory.
Though Montreal failed in its attempt to win six in a row for the first time
since March 6-16, 2010, it still managed a point after Max Pacioretty and
Colby Armstrong each had third-period tallies to rally the Habs back from a
2-0 deficit.
Carey Price finished with 18 saves for the Canadiens.
