Men's Soccer Takes 2-1 Win over Cornell to Keep Pace in Ivy Race
Box ScorePRINCETON, N.J. (11/2/13) - Goals by Cameron Porter and Patrick O'Neil helped give the Princeton men's soccer team three big points in the Ivy League standings with a 2-1 win over Cornell Saturday afternoon at Roberts Stadium as the conference race enters its final two weeks.
Princeton (6-7-1, 3-1-1) entered the day three points back of Penn, two back of Harvard and even with Yale, and the Tigers will see where they stand when Ivy action is complete for the night.
Porter's goal came 16 minutes into the game when Brendan McSherry threaded a pass up the middle and Porter weaved his way through the Cornell (6-5-4, 0-4-1) defense in the box. Porter kept control of the ball even with his Big Red defenders closing in, and when Cornell keeper Zach Zagorski went down, Porter took advantage to give Princeton the 1-0 lead on his sixth goal of the season.
Just 11 minutes later, O'Neil scored his first goal of the season when he got through the Cornell defense and attacked the goal from Zagorski's right, powering it past the Cornell keeper and inside the far post. Nico Hurtado received an assist on the goal.
Princeton goalkeeper Seth MacMillan finished with four saves and took a shutout into the 87th minute until Cornell's Patrick Slogic headed in a corner kick to make it a 2-1 game. That ended a lengthy scoreless streak for Cornell which began in an overtime loss to Harvard on Oct. 12 and continued with three shutouts.
Princeton will play its final non-league game of the regular season Tuesday at Roberts Stadium against American at 7 p.m. before returning to Ivy League action next Saturday at Penn.

Range will harm area
Published: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 11:28 a.m.
Editor: Camp Walter Johnson, Pebble Beach on High Rock Lake and many homes are less than 1.2 miles from the shooting range proposed at 3950 Shiptontown Road. Sure, there is occasional shooting scattered around this area now, but no more than a dozen shoots on a typical day. Imagine the incessant gunfire, every day of the week, all day long and even into the night since the range is to be lighted. So much for the family outing, camping experience or quiet day on the lake fishing.
Apparently the developer wants to include reactive targets. In my Army days, that meant metal silhouettes that fell down when hit. Reactive targets that explode when hit are now available, so add that to the noise from high-powered rifles and shotguns. And it won't take long for someone to decide to fire machine guns and 0.50 caliber rifles.
If approved, does the county plan to reassess and lower property values to reflect the loss in marketability of hundreds of homes and undeveloped properties? Will the county accept lower tax revenue to enrich one person?

Two days ago, I was sitting on a bench overlooking the Atlantic Ocean watching sizable waves smash onto the sandy beach and talking to a recently retired friend about, no kidding, Social Security.
My friend is the sort of guy who pays attention to his finances, but as he was mapping out his retirement scenario before leaving his job, he wrestled withwhen to start taking Social Security benefits.
Your 'Full Retirement Age'
At 67, he was already past what Social Security calls "full retirement age," which is 66 for most boomers. (The size of your Social Security benefits are reduced if you claim them between 62 and your full retirement age; you'll get just 75 percent by claiming at 62. The checks grow by 8 percent a year for every year you delay receiving the money between your full retirement age and age 70.)
(MORE: Women Get Bum Advice on Social Security)
When my friend called Social Security to ask what he should do, he was advised to "do the math." So he did — and decided to sign up immediately.
I wish I'd asked him whether he considered the financial repercussions of this decision for his wife of roughly 40 years.
How Men's Claiming Decisions Hurt Women
Too often, men don't — and their wives pay a price.
According to a study on Social Security claiming decisions of nearly 14,000 older couples by Federal Reserve Board economist Alice M. Henriques, most married men think solely of themselves when choosing the date they'll start filing for Social Security benefits.
If they delayed receiving benefits, the men would provide their wives with more income if widowed. But Henriques found that husbands showed nearly "no response to the large incentives" for postponing their start date. As a result, she wrote, men are reducing their wives' lifetime benefits.
That's because many married women are still financially dependent on their husbands in their 60s and beyond, even though women have increasingly stormed the workplace, the gender wage gap is shrinking and more women are becoming savvy about money. Husbands typically work more years than their wives (due to their time off for maternity leave and child rearing) and earn more money. As a result, when it comes to Social Security, most married women end up relying on the program's spousal and survivor benefits.
But here's the tarnished gold in Henriques' digging, in my opinion: Almost half of men claim Social Security benefits as soon as they are eligible – at 62. A quarter wait until age 63 - 65 and fewer than 5 percent start taking Social Security after turning 65, according to her research.
So how much money is left on the table as a result of early claiming?

SB Nation released its annual NBA GM Power Rankings and while it's no surprise Miami Heat general manager Pat Riley leads its field for Executive of the Year, it is interesting to where Orlando Magic's general manager Otis Smith ranked.
Otis Smith ranked No. 2 behind Pat Riley in the race for the 2011 NBA Executive of the Year according to the website.
From SB Nation:
2. Otis Smith, Magic
The Magic made what seemed to be a huge gamble in swapping out Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter for Gilbert Arenas and Hedo Turkoglu. It has certainly paid off so far, with Hedo reviving his career after pit stops in Toronto and Phoenix and Gil fitting in as a sixth man. The Magic still have a struggle to grab so much as the No. 3 spot in the top-heavy East. But with Smith's mammoth trades, they might be sliding into the bottom end of the playoff bracket.
The Magic's blockbuster trade in December birthed a rusty new start, but the team ultimately rebounded to go on a nine-game win streak before New Orleans snapped the record Wednesday.
That being said, Pat Riley pulled off the free agent move of the decade in the LeBron James "Decision" with strong additions like Chris Bosh and Mike Miller. But if the Orlando Magic advance farther in the Eastern Conference playoffs than the Miami Heat, does Riley's power move matter?

- With a dab of frosting, attach one piece of candy corn to the front of each cherry for the head. Let stand until set. Yield: 20 servings.
Reviews for Cookie Turkeys
"The 6 year old did these had a lot of fun used truffles instead of cherries. Will save this one for years to come."
"I was unable to find candy corn, so I cut small triangles out of circus peanuts to use as beaks. Everything turned out great!"
"I made these when I was a child and now my children make them"
"This was easy and fun to make with my grandson. We used Lindor Truffles by Lindt instead of cherries. Delicious!!!!"
"My Mother made similar "turkeys" for years, but she used the chocolate mounds and round crackers (like HiHO). She would cut a sliver off on end of the cracker used for the fan tail - in this manner it was easier to set in the frosting. The candy mound was laid on it side and the candy corn attached like the one in the picture. The salty taste was good with the sweet candies."

My neighbor doesn't like my 6-year-old son. No, really. I'm not imagining her disdain or putting words in her mouth. She called me after the first 80-degree spring day, when all the neighborhood kids were playing outside after a miserably long winter, to tell me she simply could not spend another summer listening to Christopher's ear-splitting voice outside. I should have known by the ringer's cacophonous tone that it was her calling to complain – again.
Our first conversation about Christopher's voice took place a couple years earlier. Our tête-à-tête went something like this —
Neighbor: "Christopher is really loud when he's playing outside. Can you tell him to keep it down?"
Me: (eyes blinking rapidly trying to formulate a response) "Huh?"
Neighbor: "Christopher is sooooo loud I can barely hear myself think. I can't sit on my patio or talk on the phone when he's playing outside. Can you just tell him to be quiet?"
Me: (head cocked to the side trying to comprehend) "What? Say again?"
Confusion immediately set in. A young boy is playing outside. He's having fun. He's running around with his friends. He's excited. And, let me get this straight — I'm supposed to ask him to be quiet in the one place where he doesn't have to use his "indoor voice?"
In all fairness to my neighbor, my son is loud. No one, including his father and me, denies his decibel level is at least 90 percent higher than other loud things, including screech owls and little girls. When he's playing hide-n-seek, it's pointless to ask him to be quiet. His happiness meter skyrockets when the seeker eventually finds the hider. His squeals echo for miles.
But, after repeated calls from my neighbor, telling me my kid is too loud when he's playing outside and the frequent "be quiet!" screeches from her porch swing, I told her no. I won't crush my child's spirit for her sake. Her anger at my son is past the point of no return so we need to agree to disagree on what is disproportionally loud.
He isn't loud because he's throwing a temper tantrum or fighting with friends. He isn't cussing or yelling or behaving badly. He's loud because he's happy. And she isn't. Her anger goes far deeper than simply scolding the sound of my child's voice.
Christopher doesn't understand my neighbor's anger. He doesn't understand why she yells at him. When he helped my husband clean up after the dog one afternoon, he suggested they clean up our neighbor's yard, too.
"Maybe then she wouldn't hate me so much," Christopher said.
What's sad is my 40-something neighbor is too young to be so unpleasant. She isn't a curmudgeonly octogenarian pointing a wrinkled, crooked finger at her foes. She's a middle-aged woman with a couple of kids. Sure, she's divorced and overweight and disgruntled, but if her life isn't turning out the way she wants, she can change it. Don't take it out on my kid. Demanding quiet from a 6-year-old boy when he's playing outside isn't going to solve her problems.
I'm sure we will continue to hear cries of "you are the worst neighbors ever!" And I will continue to teach my son to act respectfully in the face of adversity. He doesn't get to yell back. I will teach him about taking the high road even when he hasn't done anything wrong. He will smile through his hurt. I will explain that some people are perpetually unhappy. But, I won't hush my son for her.

Botnet Fact Sheet
To view or download a PDF version, click here.
What are botnets?
All computers connected to the Internet are susceptible to malware infections. The malware employed by botnets can be surreptitiously installed on your computer. If you open an email attachment or visit a website that is distributing malware, your computer may become infected and be turned into a "bot" (short for "robot"). If your computer becomes part of a botnet, it may wait for instructions from the "command and control" (also sometimes known as "C2" or "C&C") computers or perform automated tasks, such as keystroke monitoring, without your knowledge. Cybercriminals like botnets because botnets give the criminal control of thousands of computers at once, and they help to hide the cybercriminal's identity.
How your computer acts when infected is dependent on what the cybercriminals are trying to accomplish. Many botnets are designed to harvest data, such as passwords, social security numbers, credit card numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, and other personal information. The data is then used for nefarious purposes, such as identity theft, credit card fraud, spamming, and malware distribution. Bots can also be used to launch attacks on websites and networks, which as are sometimes referred to as Distributed Denial of Service Attacks or DDoS.
How do you know if your computer is part of a botnet?
Internet service providers are beginning to take a proactive approach by issuing notices to customers when botnet traffic has been detected from their devices. You may have to opt in for the service. If you receive such a notice, confirm the legitimacy of the notice, then use the tools offered or take the steps indicated to check your device(s) and eliminate the malware. For more information, contact your Internet Service Provider.

Against NM State, she got off to a slow start , finishing the first set with just two kills and four errors, but bounced back to combine for 18 kills in the final three sets. She finished the match hitting .204 with 20 kills, five digs and three blocks in what was Idaho's second win over New Mexico State in the last 12 meetings between the teams.

In some areas of the country, local short tracks are an endangered species. With urban development and sprawl spreading across once-rural areas, the large pieces of land racetracks are built on are becoming million-dollar prizes to be had by developers. After years of fighting for survival, Hialeah Speedway has become the latest victim. August 13, 2005, marked the last time race cars would run on the historic oval.
The track, located on US 27 just east of Palmetto Expressway in Hialeah, was built in 1953-'54 by the Greater Miami Racing Association (GMRA), hosting its first event in July 1954. Local driver Herb Tillman took First-Place honors driving George Nelson's '34 Ford modified coupe, kicking off a 51-year legacy for the southernmost short track in the United States. As the old pre-war race cars gave way to '50s era race cars, Hialeah soldiered on as a hotbed of South Florida racing.
Over the years, famous drivers from different racing organizations have taken laps on the Hialeah oval. NASCAR legends Bobbie and Donnie Allison cut their teeth on the 1/3-mile oval before moving on to the bigger tracks and spotlight of stock car racing. Some Hialeah veterans would say that Donnie learned how to fight at Hialeah, giving him the edge over Cale Yarborough in the famous encounter between the two at Daytona in 1979.
In 1957, former Formula One champion Juan Manual Fangio of Argentina made his only laps in an American Midget racer at Hialeah. Over the years, well-known short-track racers such as Dick Anderson, Gary Balough, and Bobby Brack ran at Hialeah. The track has been a great place for racers and fans over the years. One driver mentioned: "I learned how to race here, drink here, and fight here!"
Through all the hard-core racing, Hialeah only had one fatality in its 51-year history. In 1956, Don Campbell died of head injuries several days after he flipped his midget racer in a private test session.
Being an anti-NASCAR organization was tough for the GMRA as it ran the track. In 1995, GMRA hit hard financial times and could no longer pay the nearly $100,000 property tax bill on the track. The track's landlord came to the rescue, setting up agreements with a series of promoters to step up and manage the racing on a weekly basis. In 2000 the track fell on hard times, opening the door for the land to be sold to developers. Plans call for demolishment of the track sometime in 2006 and construction of a Lowe's and a Target store shortly after.
The last night of racing started that afternoon with a torrential monsoon as racers and fans were pouring into the track. It was typical summer weather for South Florida, rain and lightning for half an hour, then clearing skies and sunshine. Besides being flooded with water, the pits were flooded with racers--161 cars showed up to run the various events that night at the speedway. Some ended up in the parking lot because no pit stalls were left.
Adding to the racer turnout was the massive crowd. Over 5,000 fans, former racers, and locals showed up, with a huge line at both gates even at 9:30 when racing was starting. The irony was not lost on the Hialeah regulars, everyone joking, "if they had a big turnout like this every Saturday, the speedway wouldn't be closing!"
Famous racers Jerry and Darrell Gwynn showed up for the festivities. Known more for their exploits on the quarter-mile straight track, both South Florida natives spent time racing on the Hialeah pavement. Despite being severely injured and incapacitated in a horrific accident while making an exhibition run in England during 1990, Darrell always has a smile on his face.
The Florida Fastruck and Fastkids series visited the Hialeah oval, along with the usual Limited Late Model, Street Stock, Mini-Stock, and Cyclone classes. The crowd wasn't disappointed, with tons of door-slamming, paint-swapping action in the various classes. In the Mini-Stock class, Hialeah veteran and multi-time track champion S.C. Klinger took the checkered flag, but failed post-race inspection, passing the win and last winner honors to Ricky Thorpe. The Jeff Dufresne Memorial race went to Joe Winchell, who was greeted in Victory Lane by Herb Tillman, the first winner at Hialeah 51 years ago.
Here's the list of winners for the last night of racing at Hialeah:
Fastruck: Tommy King
Limited Late Model: Joe Winchell
Street Stock: Corey Crisafulli
Mini Stock: Ricky Thorpe
Cyclone: Victor Leo
Fastkids: Patrick Starpoli
School Bus Figure-8: Steve Godlewski
Demolition Derby: Drew Ogden
Even though the track will be gone soon, its history will live forever in the memories and pictures of racers who made laps on its asphalt and the fans who watched them. Long after the Lowe's and Target stores open on the property, racers will still walk the aisles and tell customers and store employees, "I used to race right here."

Delicious Guilt-Free Pumpkin Pie with Oat Crust
Here in the United States we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving in less than three weeks. I thought it would be fun to share a recipe for pumpkin pie from the vast selection of nutritarian recipes that are posted on the members' center of www.DrFuhrman.com Enjoy!
Serves 8
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
1 cup quick oats (not instant)
1/4 cup ground almonds
1 tablespoon whole wheat pastry flour (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1 15-ounce can of pumpkin
1/2 cup date sugar*
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1 10-ounce pkg soft tofu
1 1/3 cups raw cashews
3/4 cup vanilla soy milk
2/3 cup dates
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Pie Crust: Mix oats, almonds and flour. Blend oil and water together with a wire whisk. Add to dry ingredients and mix until it holds together. You may need to add a little more water. Spray 9-inch pie dish lightly with cooking spray and press the crust to thinly cover the bottom and sides of the pie dish.
Pie Filling: In a blender combine the pumpkin and date sugar.* Add raisins, spices, arrowroot powder, and tofu. (Some like more spices; individual preference.) Blend until smooth. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake for 15 minutes then lower heat to 350 degrees. Cover crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning, and bake for an additional 60 minutes.
While pie is in the oven make the Cashew Cream. Blend all ingredients together in a Vita-Mix or other powerful blender.
Serve slightly warm or cold with a dollop of Cashew Cream.
Note: The pie filling will firm up as it cools.
* A member commented that she used dates in the pie filling instead of date sugar and liked it better. She baked the pie for 75 minutes at 350 degrees; 15 of those minutes with the crust uncovered, and 60 minutes with the crust covered. (Tip: Cover crust by using a square of aluminum foil with a large hole cut out in the middle, leaving most of the pie uncovered.) According to her, the texture and appearance came out great!

I can get into the forums, befriend it's admins, and then convince them to make me one. Then, you all come in and start pissing people off, I advise that the forum gets shut down, and then after it becomes closed, I get into the Admin PC and open it back up again. Whaddaya think? Turn me from a spy into an usurper.

Arvada-Clearmont High School senior Morgan Mines has signed a national letter of intent to play women's basketball at Black Hill State University beginning in the 2009-2010 season.
Mines was recruited by several NCAA Division I Universities including Gonzaga, Montana State, Sacramento State, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Cal Poly, and San Francisco to name a few. She believed that signing at Black Hills State University was the best fit for her.
"None of the other colleges were the right fit for me and I could tell just by talking to them that many of them only cared about me for basketball and not as a person. It wasn't like that for BHSU or Coach Nore and the rest of the staff. The BHSU staff cared about what I want to do in life and cared about me as a basketball prospect. The team was awesome and treated me great. It's one of the best teaching schools in the area. It's only about 3 hours from house so my parents can come to the games. Having my family so close and able to watch the games was another huge part of my decision. I love having my family there watching me play. I am so excited about Black Hills and being a Lady Yellow Jacket. I know I made the right decision" said Morgan Mines.
"We're very excited to have a quality student, athlete and person like Morgan. She has a great basketball IQ, has all the tools to be a great player. She's long, athletic, can play inside/outside and really competes. We really like her ability to see the floor and distribute the basketball. She is very unselfish and a quality person. She will fit in great with our team and we are very excited to have her" said BHSU Head Coach Mark Nore.
Mines, a 6'0" forward, is in her senior year at Arvada-Clearmont and has been a three-year letter winner in basketball and volleyball. Morgan is a two time all state basketball and volleyball player, 2 time most valuable team player in basketball and volleyball, Northeast conference player of the year in basketball and volleyball, nominated for the McDonalds All American for the state of Wyoming in basketball, and member of a state championship team. One of Morgan's most memorable moments under the leadership of Coach Bill Joy was winning the Arvada-Clearmont High School's first ever state championship game with her sister Monica her sophomore year.
I think Black Hills State will be a good fit for her," said ACHS coach Bill Joy. "Just form visiting with coach Nore, it sounds as though he plays the same type of game I have. She had some offers to play at the Division I schools, which is good, but BHSU was a better fit."
"Morgan has been a member of a quality program in high school and we feel that her experiences and successes will carry over in college. We are very excited about Morgan as a player but more excited as a person," says Coach Nore.

The Bruins (10-3) outscored the Hokies (8-5) 28-5 in the second half.
Hundley had an 86-yard touchdown run and finished with 161 yards on 10 carries, and completed 16 of 29 passes for 226 yards. He was selected the co-MVP along with linebacker Jordan Zumwalt, who had 10 tackles and an interception.
After Virginia Tech cut it to 14-10 on Michael Branthover's 22-yard field goal with 3:53 left in the third quarter, UCLA answered with a 12-play, 85-yard drive, capped by Paul Perkins's 5-yard run early in the fourth.
Hokies backup quarterback Mark Leal then threw a pass under heavy pressure that linebacker Myles Jack intercepted and returned 29 yards for a touchdown that made it 28-10.
Virginia Tech, which lost starting quarterback Logan Thomas to an injury in the second quarter, got its final points when UCLA punter Sean Covington stepped on the end line for a safety with 9:38 left.
UCLA pushed it to 35-12 on Hundley's 8-yard touchdown pass to Thomas Duarte with 7:31 to play. The Bruins stayed aggressive late, and Hundley fired a 59-yard scoring strike down the right sideline to Shaquelle Evans for another score with 5:49 remaining.
UCLA led 14-7 after the first half. Hundley had six carries for 168 yards in the half. He set the Sun Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback by halftime.
Worse for Virginia Tech, which entered the game ranked No. 4 in the nation in total defense, was that the Bruins rushed for 202 yards in the first half. That already was the most rushing yards the Hokies had given up in a game this season. UCLA finished with 250 yards.
The Bruins struck first on Hundley's 7-yard TD run in the first quarter. That capped a six-play, 74-yard drive that opened the game.
After an exchange of punts, Virginia Tech answered with J.C. Coleman's 1-yard scoring dive midway through the quarter.John Erfort, Associated Press

In January, Mears Transportation Group, Central Florida's largest taxi and luxury car operator, commissioned a statewide poll surveying over 3,000 Florida consumers. This data collection initiative was supported by the Florida Taxicab Association, and conducted by Frederick Polls in order to determine public opinion on the vehicle-for-hire industry, laws regulating the industry and Uber's business model in particular.
The poll determined that, of the 3,024 Florida residents surveyed...
- 83% think Uber should be required to license their drivers the same as the taxi industry;
- 92% want Uber to carry traditional liability insurance like taxis and other transportation providers;
- 83% think Uber should serve ALL customers without discrimination;
- 69% believe Uber's fares (what they charge passengers) should be regulated to always be the same instead of the controversial "price surging" that the company employs, charging higher rates during inclement weather or a sporting events;
- 89% think Uber drivers should have to go through the same background checks that local taxi drivers must complete; and
- 78% of Floridians believe Uber should adhere to the same regulations that taxis must go through on the local level.

EnergyUnited gets funding for West Iredell High School
Published: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 2:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 2:26 p.m.
EnergyUnited Electric Membership Cooperative was one of 26 projects in 11 states to receive federal loans and grants to support job creation efforts and business development and to strengthen economic growth in rural communities.
EnergyUnited received a $1 million loan and $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The funds will create a pass-through loan to be used to provide a more efficient heating and cooling system and upgrade the lighting at West Iredell High School in Statesville.
John Padalino, USDA Rural Utilities Service Administrator, made the announcement Thursday while attending the annual National Rural Economic Developers Association meeting in Austin, Texas.
The $11.8 million announced Thursday is being provided through USDA's Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant program. It provides zero-interest loans and grants to local utilities which then, in turn, lend the funds through to local businesses (ultimate recipients) for projects that will create and retain employment in rural areas. The program funds business start-up or expansion, business incubators, education and training facilities and equipment, community development assistance, health care and other community projects that support rural jobs.

More: The last time I saw you on the small screen, you were teaming up with your former Beverly Hills costar Jason Priestly in Hallmark's Goodnight for Justice.
Luke Perry: Yes, that was an idea I thought up and then got Jason involved in. Matter of fact, I am doing two more of those films this summer, playing the same character but telling a different story.
More: When you and Jason reunited, was it like old times?
LP: Yes, only we are a little older now. But it did not take us long to get up to speed, because we know exactly how the other works and we have never been out of touch. Ever since the show went off the air, we have never gone more than a month without speaking.
More: Nice to keep up the friendship. You also shot a movie over in Sweden to be released here on DVD this summer.
LP: Yes. It is called Swedish Midsummer Sex Comedy, and it's about their national holiday that celebrates sex and life. Although I am known for my dramatic roles, I am always going for the comedy and have been told on set, "Luke, this is not a comedy; this is serious. Go back and do it again."
More: How would you compare the roles you're tackling today to parts, let's say, 10 years ago?
LP: Ten years ago, there was a leather jacket and a motorcycle. These days, I'm on horseback with suede and denim. I really try to find parts that I want to play, and sometimes there is a period of time when there aren't any.
More: What's that like?
LP: People in this town have very little imagination and very little memory. They forget that you once helped them, and as a result they stop taking your calls when it's not really happening for you. You have to find the strength to stand on your own two feet. Look, show business can use you up and spit you out. You have to know that going into this.
More: Because Beverly Hills was such an incredible success, do you feel you got typecast for your role as Dylan McKay?
LP: The imagination of executives in the business, and mind you, I am holding my fingers half an inch apart, is that big. They can't imagine anything else. As a matter of fact, the day I went in to audition for that show, they said, "There is no way he is Dylan McKay." It was Aaron Spelling who said, "No, this is the guy."
More: What is your reaction when people compare your looks to those of James Dean?
LP: It has been mentioned to me. I know that we both have receding hairlines and a good share of wrinkles. I think people combined those two things to compare us. I thought when my buddy James Franco played James Dean, he looked pretty much like him. But for the record, I have better hair than Franco.
More: What are some projects you would love to work on one day?
LP: I want to play Andrew Jackson and I am working on that right now. Jackson was one of our greatest presidents. He was the only president to have "an era of Jackson" after his run at the White House. No other president had that. Although Jackson was a flawed man and did some abominable things, he also did some pretty great things.
More: What actor would you love to work with?
LP: Jeff Bridges. I have been giving that same answer since 1990.
More: Aside from your career, you are also a single dad.
LP: Yes.
More: Has that been hard?
LP: It's the hardest thing I have ever done and it is not getting any easier. After you do a hard physical task, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. That is not the case here. To be a parent in today's day and age is really scary.
More: What's your greatest dad challenge?
LP: You compete with technology for your children's attention and for your time with them. It's difficult for me to carve out quality time with them, but I do it. I make everyone, including myself, put their phones away so we can be together.
More: Do you monitor what your children do on the computer?
LP: Yes, and it forces your hand at having discussions about really mature subject matters at a time when they may or may not be ready for it.
More: Speaking of adult matters, how did you explain your divorce to your children?
LP: I don't talk about that.
More: Would you let your kids follow in your footsteps and pursue acting?
LP: My kids are much smarter than I ever was. They are gifted and I think they could be doctors. I'm hoping they want to work in medicine.
More: Do you still get recognized for your role as Dylan?
LP: Only when I leave the house. Once you go out the front door, it's on.
More: What was life like during that era?
LP: Loud. It was very loud. It seems everywhere we went, people were screaming at us and I am more of a quiet person.
More: You left the series and then came back. Why?
LP: Yes, because I couldn't do it anymore and play the character to the fullest. I came back because one of my closest friends—Paul Waigner, our executive producer—was dying of cancer, and I wanted to spend the last year of his life with him. There is nothing I value more than friendship and Paul taught me about all the important stuff in television, such as treating people right. It was my destiny to be with him one last time.
More: What about your feelings for Aaron Spelling?
LP: The man who lit the fuse for my career? I have strong feelings for him. We laughed, we cried and we did it all. Aaron was great to me.
More: How would you describe your offscreen relationship with Shannen Doherty, who played your girlfriend for many seasons?
LP: We didn't hang out much, and we didn't have that much in common.
More: Do you still keep in touch with any of your other 90210 pals?
LP: I was just on the phone with Brian Austin Green. Brian is going to be the king of the world in this business. He is so talented, so together and he is going to be a monster, in a good way. Brian is entertaining and I really miss working with him.
More: Many Hollywood famous faces are baring skin these days. Would you do it, too?
LP: I ain't baring anything [laughs]. The only time I wouldn't wear clothes is if that is what the scene called for in a movie I was doing.

Miami Dolphins LBer Channing Crowder: "I know people hate me"
Channing Crowder is WELL AWARE he's one of the least popular players on the Miami Dolphins roster. But this former Florida Gator standout also knows he's the most interesting member of the current team, and that's a subject that can not be debated.
That's one of the many reasons WQAM (560AM) gave Crowder, a six-year starter for the Dolphins, his own weekend radio show, which launched this Sunday, and will take place from noon to 2 p.m. each Sunday until his real job begins once the NFL ends this lockout.
"I know people hate me. When people hate on you you've got to be doing something right," Crowder said Sunday in the shows first hour.
Crowder, who contributed 39 tackles in an injury-shortened 2010 season, was all over the place in his first official show. But from one radio rookie (yours truly) to another, I've got to admit the two hour show, which was co-hosted by Zach Krantz, was entertaining and informative, which is the goal.
Crowder said he's training four days a week at FAU with other pros, and he spends two days a week working with former Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas, who has served as his mentor for the past seven years.
According to Crowder, each NFL player has missed out on roughly $4,000 in base workout pay. Those without workout bonuses – which many have – receiver $100 a day to lift weights and train with the team in a typical offseason.
If Crowder's calculations are right…. that means Dolphins owner Steve Ross has saved roughly $1 million in OTA pay and workout bonuses this summer. Multiply that $1 million by 32 teams and the lockout has allowed the NFL's owners to pocket AT LEAST $32 million that's typically paid to 2,560 players (fringe guys included) during the summer.
Crowder admitted he needs to work.
"I have a son on the way" Crowder said during his WQAM show… (CONGRATS). He also recently got the bill for the wedding he had this summer, and was stunned by it.
During Sunday's first hour Crowder was stood up by first-round pick Mike Pouncey, who missed his spot because of a flight. But Crowder did manage to bring on Dolphins free agent tailback Ronnie Brown, his closest friend on the team, during the final hour.
During the interview, which you can listen to here, it appears Brown has come to terms with the possibility that he won't return to Miami once the lockout ends and free agency begins.
"It's hard, but I am," Brown said when asked if he's prepared to play elsewhere after spending six seasons with the Dolphins. "I came to the realization that's a possibility. My biggest thing is being prepared."
Brown expressed disappointment in how his NFL career has gone thus far. He also talked about the journey that's ahead, and admitted the biggest thing he's focused on is earning the respect of his new club, and new teammates. He hopes to immediately step into a leadership role.
"I feel like I have a whole lot left to give and I'm excited to see what happens," Brown told Crowder. "I think I can still carry the load."
Crowder openly admitted he'd hate to see Brown land in the AFC East, where they'd face-off twice a season.
"He's a dog," Crowder said, referring to Brown's physical running style.
Brown volunteered that his goal is to find a team that puts him in position to win a championship.
"I said I'd prefer to go somewhere warm, but coming out of the SEC I'm use to winning," Brown said. "I want to go get a championship."
Crowder pointed out he and Brown quickly learned the NFL was a business early in their careers when they watched the Dolphins dump productive, if not legendary players like Junior Seau, Zach Thomas and Vonnie Holliday over the years.
They both knew their day of being churned would eventually come. We'll soon find out if this Dolphins duo, the team's two closest players, will get split up.
Onto other topics….
Crowder has been told the lockout will likely conclude within the next three weeks….
Crowder said he'd create a pay system for college athletes and base it on a students GPA, and pay it out when he or she graduates from the university. In his opinion, that route would pay the college athlete for their contributions, and enhance the school's graduate rate.
Crowder admitted he could relate to what former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor got suspended for…trying to make a quick buck selling his jersey and merchandise.
"I'll say hypothetically I don't have any of my Florida jerseys," Crowder admitted. "There were some Jacksonville businessmen who liked my play."
While he didn't portray Pryor as a victim, he did sympathize.
"I know why [Jim] Tressel got in trouble. He was lying," said Crowder, who has started 74 of the 82 games he's played. "But Pryor can't sell his own stuff? It's his!"
Crowder made an excellent point when he stated big money schools like the University of Florida and University of Miami can pay small programs like Florida A&M close to a million "to come get the snot beat out of them," but can't pay the players doing the work all season, raising the athletic department money, and improving the school's profile.

Some of you might remember these fantastic city map plates from notNeutral that I posted on last month. Well, the plates got such a great response from readers that notNeutral would like to hear more from you! They're planning to add 4 more cities to the map plate collection for fall, and are looking for suggestions as to what those cities should be….which is where you come in!
There is a theme to the collection – so that should help you narrow it down from the zillions of cities out there. The theme is "Culture and Capitalism" – and the quick summary of what they're looking for in the chosen cities is this: (as quoted from Julie Smith-Clementi, notNeutral President) "We are looking for four cities that have been greatly impacted by man through the process of urban design/development and capital investment, rather than growth through a slower more organic model." It might also help to read about how they decided upon the cities that are currently in their collection too. Click here to read that press release (pdf).
So – what city (or cities) do YOU think should belong in the upcoming map plate collection? Tokyo? London? NYC? Tell us what you think – and you'll be entered for a chance to win your favorite map plate from the current collection! TWO winners will be chosen! Just post your suggestion here by Friday, May 25 at midnight PST. Good luck!

oooh – I love these plates SO much! Being from LA – I definitley know what I'd pick if I won!! But I also think that London, Tokyo, Sydney, Chicago and New York would be great choices.
3katie SAYS:
would Las Vegas be an option? It definitely seem like that's a city that was created by man out of nothing in the middle of no where!
4Suzen j. SAYS:
my vote is for Tokyo, NYC, and Dehli.
5hedgie3767 SAYS:
NYC and Paris have to be chosen in the next plate designs.
6Biddy SAYS:
most definitely NYC! Of course, being from Texas, I'd love to see Dallas too…
7Julieta SAYS:
Easy! Buenos Aires, Argentina. AKA the Paris of the South
8Houses, Couches and Babies SAYS:
I think Rome or Paris would be amazing plates.
9Blue Orchid Designs SAYS:
NYC and Paris, naturally. Kuala Lumpur for the an twist and one of my favorite cities.
10mj SAYS:
Dubai, for sure. Astronomical growth in the last 20 or so years.
11Jane Maynard SAYS:
this is fun! (even thought I just typed my whole comment and then deleted it!). interesting question…cities with fast growth impacted by urban design and development rather than traditional growth…here are my suggestions!
montreal: fast growing, multicultural, hip and cool, awesome combination of Old World and Modern, large creative workforce (so you know design plays a role in the city's growth), four universities (young, educated city)…just a great place that I think fits the bill!
sydney: huge immigrant population – population is growing like crazy! Very culturally diverse, tons of big business, big player financially in and in other ways, definitely a COOL city with so much appeal culturally and naturally (beaches, etc).
las vegas: I think this is a great suggestion – also growing, growing, growing and I think we have to say that's definitely growth brought on by development and design by people…not as sold on this one as montreal and sydney, but still worth a thought!
two others that I saw in a few articles I read that would be worth researching:
Toulouse, France
Ghaziabad, India
thanks for the homework – it was fun! :)
12jodi b SAYS:
I would have to say New York. It is a city that has done alot with very little space…central park would look great on the plate.
13Elizabeth E SAYS:
Paris or NYC!
14SteamyKitchen SAYS:
Hong Kong! Such life, such excess, such movement in such a little tiny island
15Kelli SAYS:
tokyo, i have a dream to go there someday. my husband lived there once and ive always wanted to experience that with him. maybe i can bring my plate.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
off grid living, solar power, solar home
Michael Funk told me he could be just as happy living in a tipi on his 1,200 acres of hills and waterfalls along the Yuba River as he is in his palatial off-the-grid home. I've been to his place, and I get that, but I wouldn't trade in his house for a tipi. I'm not a big-house fan—and this one is 6,000 square feet—but Michael's home, which doubles as a retreat center, is responsibly built and completely off the grid. It's solid, an heirloom in a jewel of a setting. Michael's home inspired me, the way good homes built with good intentions do.
Michael, chief executive officer of United Natural Foods and former chair of The Sierra Fund board, built his "big house with lots of little places to hang out" as both a home and retreat center for his business and environmental philanthropy associates. His 1,200 permanently protected acres will never be gobbled up by development, so stunning views of Rock Creek waterfall and the Yuba River corridor will inspire visitors for generations. Michael wants everyone who visits his home to remember why we work so hard to preserve nature's spectacle--and it works. You can't look out his windows and doubt the calling.
Built by craftspeople using mostly local materials, including stone and trees from the property, the house is mostly round. Architect Jeff Gold stepped outside the rectilinear box with his organic design, drawing lines that radiate from a large circular living room toward the Rock Creek waterfall to the east and the Yuba River gorge to the west. Gold's design embraces the site with passive solar heating, abundant natural light, natural ventilation, a courtyard garden, a "sun" terrace and a "shade" terrace. Half of the home is underground, which keeps it cool during stifling Gold Country summers. The living room accommodates 40 or 50 people, the kitchen can feed them, and two private guest suites look mighty comfortable for out-of-towners. The house also includes an office with a good-size board room, a serious game room and a large root cellar for produce grown on the property. Extensive orchard and vegetable gardens provide a significant portion of the household's food requirements.
"The house is certainly not scaled as a conventional family house would be, and it was definitely a challenge to do a house this size and have it not appear that large," Gold told me. "Yet, when you come in, even if there are just two or three people in the house, it doesn't seem huge. There are no large, cavernous spaces. It's broken up enough so you feel a sense of intimacy."
Ninety-two photovoltaic panels and a large battery bank power the house, as long as everyone's a little bit careful. "We couldn't have air conditioning, which I was a little afraid about—even though I don't even really like air conditioning—because this is a hot climate," Michael says. Opening windows at night to capture cooler night air keeps the home comfortable the next day, he says. "That was a big relief. I had a bit of doubt until I'd experienced all four seasons here." He's become a freak about saving energy. "A lot of people don't have that same consciousness, so I'm always running after people, turning off lights behind them."
The home is clad in weathered Sierra granite, which is fireproof and provides thermal mass. It's called "peeler" granite because it peels off the top of the bedrock, alleviating the need to quarry, and the irregular stones are challenging to work with. "In the end, though, the masons really appreciated doing something different," Gold says. "The people who worked on this house really understood and appreciated the principles and the commitment behind it, and they put an extra effort into their work because it was part of a larger whole that they really appreciated."
I felt the love.

A soapstone Tulikivi stove, radial beams, cedar paneling and oak flooring make the kiva-like living room, the home's central gathering space, warm and welcoming. Hot air gathers in the high ceiling and escapes through cupola windows and operable vents around the central ceiling window, which is etched with a Native American design. "I love the round living room as a gathering spot," Michael says. "It has great acoustics and that high ceiling, and people really enjoy hanging out there." Photo by Barbara Bourne
The barn roof at the garden and orchard site supports an extensive photovoltaic array. Batteries and electrical panels are stored inside. A portion of the barn is a greenhouse for starting seedlings. Photo by Barbara Bourne
The entry door plays on the traditional keyhole and includes a moon/sun window and references to the four directions and seasons. A two-ton boulder slab set into the entry wall provides a bench for removing shoes upon entering. Photo by Barbara Bourne
Michael's favorite room is his office, which offers an incredible view of the Rock Creek waterfall. Photo by Barbara Bourne
The house's radial lines are reflected in the curving soffit and ridge beam. A local furniture maker made the dining table and chairs using native black oak and pine from the property. Photo by Barbara Bourne
The sun terrace overlooks both the Yuba River and Rock Creek. A built-in planter provides herbs for the kitchen. Photo by Barbara Bourne
Ponderosa pine logs were harvested from the property, peeled by hand and shaped at the bottom to fit into granite boulders on the porch. A steel pin drilled into the boulder and the post assures a positive connection. Photo by Barbara Bourne
A "bunker" adjacent to the house entry contains a fire hydrant connected to the water stored for emergencies and fire-fighting, and for the building and garden sprinkler systems. Photo by Barbara Bourne

Opinions are split. That's understandable, since the video is of such poor quality that the creature in the woods could be anything from a potgut squirrel to a Jehovah's Witness. So far, no link to the David Petraeus scandal has been conclusively established. But winter has come, so there's no way to return to the site to investigate further.
The long, warm fall was so nice that I hadn't even begun to procrastinate about putting the snow tires on the car. For a couple of days I was forced to drive my old truck. In its day, it was pretty well equipped. But the radio/CD player has never worked since I bought it used from the sheriff's department. I suspect there is a doughnut stuck in there.
My car has all kinds of modern creature comforts like heated seats and satellite radio. The weather stripping around the doors is tight. The car also gets 50 mpg, and the truck burns so much gas that it's hard to get from my house into town to fill it up without needing a mid-trip refueling.
But the truck has one feature the car lacks. In 4-wheel drive, the truck will actually go in the snow. The car, with all of its German engineering, is incapable of backing out of the garage if it is cloudy. The tires that came on it are great on dry pavement.
Once I got the snow plowed down to the mud, it was off to Burt Brothers. I have no idea how many tires they switch over in that place, spring and fall, but it's a lot. They went at it with amazing precision and got me in and out in a remarkably short time. I've thought about buying another set of rims and doing the switch at home, but it's actually quicker to take it in, even during the rush.
Winter driving conditions are back, and based on the number of cars I saw launched off the roads in every direction, we all could use a little retraining. There were a couple of cars off Highway 40 that had come to rest in positions that seemed possible only if there had been a crane involved.
People, we've done this before; we can do it again. So let's all reach way back in our memories to about six months ago, when we drove on snowy roads the last time. First off, clear your windshield. The whole thing. Really. The odds of steering into a tree go way down if you can actually see the road in front of you. And not just the front. There is a reason your car came with rear-view mirrors, and they work better if there isn't snow covering them and the back windshield. When people say they could make the drive from home to work "with their eyes closed," it's just an expression. You really need to be able to see out of the car.
It's also useful to clear the snow away from the headlights so they actually shine some light on the situation. Brushing the snow off the tail lights makes the brake lights and turn signals useful. And speaking of turn signals, they still work when there is snow on the road. Try it and see.
I had to go to Salt Lake the other day. The roads were basically dry, except for the places where they weren't. The guy with the white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel and terror on his face was probably overreacting by driving 45 in the left lane. Conditions weren't that bad, but he apparently had never seen snow before. I'm not sure that the death-grip on the wheel and the locked stare straight ahead (ignoring anything to the sides or behind) is any better than a little more relaxed approach.
But there is also the other extreme - the people in the 4x4, whether it's an Escalade or a Subaru, who think they are bulletproof and were hitting it at 80. Sorry to deflate the bubble, but ice is ice, and an F-350 will spin just as easily as a Kia Rio if you hit the brake on an ice patch.
Let's all just take it easy out there. It's a long time until spring.
