The Lady Tigers basketball team came out strong Saturday against Delta, the Western Slope's top-ranked team, but the momentum wasn't enough to land a victory.
Instead, Summit lost steam after its 9-8 first quarter lead, letting Delta go on a five-point streak from which the Panthers never looked back.
Shutting down Delta's Skylyn Webb proved problematic, as she tallied 30 points of the team's 77-16 victory. But the Tigers defense wasn't just about closing Webb down. It was also stopping its other three powerhouses, who together scored another 30-some points of the team's total.
Steals, fouls drawn, rebounds, unforced turnovers - Delta brought it all to the Tigers home court, where Summit was plagued with turnovers and forced to take shots without integrity.
For Delta head coach Matt Hamm, the performance was better than the team's Friday night 47-41 win over Rifle, but the team still isn't up to par in his playbook.
"We wanted to come in and play hard," Hamm said, adding that the Rifle game was a hard-fought win for his Lady Panthers. "We have a pretty athletic team, so we were able to come through and win it."
The team also has height - the Panthers stood about an inch or two taller than the Tigers - but they primarily relied on strong defense to produce a win.
"If we play really good defense, that leads to a lot of layups for us, and that gives us a lot of points," Hamm said. "There were stretches of the game where we played pretty good 'D.' We got some good steals and that leads to good stuff on offense. We did a good job shooting from outside tonight, which we don't normally, so that was good. It's something we're working on."
Meanwhile, Tigers' leading scorers Kayce Chaparas, Alex Benes and Sam Salquist were held to single digits all day long, finishing with 5, 4 and 3 points, respectively.
"We quit moving around ... and they were getting to many second-chance shots," Summit head coach Dylan Hollingsworth said. "We're still working on boxing out and limiting the other team's turnovers while creating opportunities for us to get more than one shot each possession.
"We have to create opportunities for ourselves," he added. "We had way too much standing around. We're waiting for someone else to do something as opposed to running through what we're supposed to be doing. They always need to be moving."
The intensity early on was a bright spot for the coach, as well as the defensive power of Benes, Bailey Thompson and Lily Weldon.
"We fought really hard in the first half, defensively in particular," Hollingsworth said.
Saturday's junior varsity game following the varsity match was neck-and-neck and came down to the wire.
At the half, the team comprised of mostly freshmen was down by just two points, 16-18. And as the game wound down, the energy wound up, with Summit up by one with 1 minute, 40 seconds left in the game.
The Tigers gave up a basket and fouled Delta twice in a row, whose players sunk all four free throws.
Summit responded with a basket to bring the deficit back up to two, but was unable to do much to convert as the clocked ticked toward zero.
The team has lost just two games all year, both by a couple of points.
The junior varsity team has been facing off against mostly sophomores and juniors. It's exactly what Hollingsworth has been waiting for: a competitive set of freshmen coming up through the ranks.

The Case of Darwin's Finches Lesson Plan
In The Case of Darwin's Finches, students will engage in the scientific process to answer the research question, "Are Darwin's finches really finches?" The project is designed for students to act as investigators trying to solve a case within collaborative groups, using learning stations and large and/or small group discussions. Students will draw conclusions about the relatedness of birds based on physical appearance, structural morphology, feeding behavior, and DNA sequences. After rotating through the stations, students will develop a conclusion as to if Darwin's finches are actually finches.
Students will also draw conclusions about the validity of using observation and DNA evidence as a basis for such scientific conclusions. Students will make the connection between this project and systems biology: looking at the molecular level (DNA) in order to understand the whole organism.

Fluff-free zone Connecticut's 2013 legislative session begins Wednesday, and CT News Junkie reports many lawmakers are planning to introduce pet legislation. We hope they exercise care in establishing their agenda. In recent years, as Connecticut has faced job losses, the worst budget crisis in state history and a broken education system, lawmakers have wasted time on such non-urgent issues as the death penalty; transgender individuals' right to use restrooms intended for the "opposite sex"; college tuition rates for children of illegal immigrants; legalization of medical marijuana; and Sunday liquor sales, among other things. With the state's economic prospects continuing to look dicey and state Comptroller Kevin Lembo warning that the budget situation "will require careful monitoring," legislators would be wise to focus on what's really important and stay away from the social crusades of recent years.

Lynn Riemer, affectionately known as the "Martha Stewart of Meth Labs," will be in Eagle County to present Adolescent and Community Training (ACT) on Drugs today, Thursday, March 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Eagle Valley High School auditorium.
The free presentation will discuss the dangers associated with inhalants, marijuana, prescription drugs, cocaine, methamphetamine and more, with students gaining a better understanding of how dealers are using color, flavor and marketing ploys to entice users. The presentation is geared to parents as well as community members such as Realtors, housekeepers and concerned neighbors.
Riemer was a forensic chemist with the Drug Enforcement Administration and spent seven years with the state's North Metro Drug Task Force, processing over 200 meth labs and thousands of drug busts. She has a wealth of experience in relaying drug awareness, recognition and prevention. Her presentation is different in that Riemer speaks a lot to true life choices of drug users and the impacts those choices have made. She will specifically identify rising drug trends in Eagle County and event participants may be surprised to hear what's being sold and used in the area.
All Eagle County citizens are encouraged to attend. The Christian P. Anschutz Foundation is funding the program.
On March 4, a 42-year-old Minturn resident complained that her 51-year-old neighbor had been shoveling snow onto her side of their shared driveway and rode on her property with a snowmobile.
A deputy talked to them and determined the man had not been trespassed from the property in the past, as the woman claimed. That prevented the officer from bringing charges against the man. The officer also determined where the property line was and gave the man a verbal warning not to go onto the woman's property for any reason.
The man said he had been shoveling the driveway all winter. There was one time that he used his snowmobile to tamp down the snow bank to pile more snow there while he was shoveling.
The managers of an Avon apartment complex called deputies about a stranger who was sleeping in the laundry room March 5.
The 35-year-old told officers that he was hungover from partying with a friend who lived there. When his friend went to work that morning, he was not ready to walk home and decided to sleep some more in the laundry room.
Deputies told the man to find a way home next time so he doesn't scare anyone. They warned the man he would be charged with trespassing if it happened again.
A renter on Spruce Circle in Edwards reported that a bag of money containing $1,100 was missing from his bedroom after his landlord and a Realtor showed his apartment Feb. 19.
The renter's neighbor first notified him of the alleged theft. She asked the man if he kept some money in a plastic bag. The man thought it was strange that his neighbor would know about his bag of money and the neighbor said she saw their landlord carrying it when the group came out of his apartment.
The landlord told deputies that the man owed $10,000 in rent and was in the process of being evicted. She denied taking the money, however.
The Realtor who was with the landlord at the time said they were together the whole time in the apartment, which was only about 10 minutes. She never saw the landlord take anything and said it would have been obvious if she had.
A deputy stopped a 27-year-old driver in Eagle on March 8 for windows that were tinted too dark.
The officer smelled marijuana as he measured the window tint and confirmed it was shaded to an illegal degree. He asked the driver if she had any drugs in the car and if she had a criminal history. The woman denied having anything illegal in the car. She said she had been arrested but was no longer on probation or parole.
A background check indicated the woman was on probation for drug charges. Deputies also thought she was acting nervous, as if hiding something. They asked her when she last smoked marijuana. The woman said two days ago and agreed to perform voluntary roadside sobriety tests, which she passed.
Then the officers asked to search the woman's car. She initially refused and then relented. A small bag of marijuana was found under the driver seat.
People over 21 years old can now legally possess the drug in Colorado but the deputies believed the woman was on probation, which forbade her to possess any drugs. The woman insisted she was free and clear. The officers double checked and confirmed that there was a mistake in the Mesa County probation records.
The woman was released with a verbal warning for the window tint. The deputies told her she could have saved a lot of hassle if she had been more upfront about the marijuana. Mesa County was notified about the mistake in its records.
An Edwards resident was scammed out of $400 over the phone Feb. 7.
He said a woman named Vanessa called and said he owed her company $400. She ordered him to go to Wal-Mart, get a prepaid card and give her the card information or she would call police.
The man got suspicious after he followed her instructions but didn't notify sheriff deputies until Vanessa called him back March 8 and demanded more money.
Deputies tried contacting the suspect on the California number she called from, which was 909-204-5324, but no one answered. They told the victim to get as much information about the woman and her company as he could if she called back. They also told him not to give her any more information about himself or give her any more money.
A 47-year-old driver called deputies March 8 and said she was following a drunken driver.
The suspect vehicle was swerving into the oncoming lane on U.S. Highway 6, made a left turn onto Cooley Mesa Road in Gypsum, and drove in the opposite lane on the wrong side of the median. The truck drove onto the median a couple times and continued in the wrong lane after the median ended. The woman said the truck was swerving out of the way of oncoming cars that flashed their high beams and then going back into the wrong lane.
The truck went into the Buckhorn area and the driver seemed to become aware that he was being followed. He parked in a driveway for a while, then started driving randomly through the neighborhood. At one point, the truck turned into a small park on Navajo Road and got hung up on the swings. Then it went into another driveway and turned its lights off. The woman tried to keep her distance and lost track of it until it came up behind her.
The woman said the truck was "coming after her" at least twice. Deputies worried for her safety and told her not to put herself at risk.
Officers found tire tracks in the park and located the truck stuck in a backyard ditch with a flat tire. They contacted the people in the house and found the 34-year-old suspect hiding in his room.
The man was not cooperative and refused to answer any questions. He denied driving and refused a chemical test at the jail. His driver license was confiscated and he was cited for driving under the influence of alcohol, failure to drive in a single lane and failure to notify police of an accident. He was released into the custody of his family.

Whether watching the Gunners kicking it live at Emirates Stadium or catching the action on TV, we are Gooners through and through.
Arsenal returned to its traditional team badge in 2012 from the 125th anniversary badge they wore during the 11/12 season, and the jersey was such a smashing success that the club opted to sport it again in this campaign.
The red jersey has the traditional look with white sleeves. New for 2012 and still sharp in 2013, Arsenal's home jersey has a blue crewneck collar and blue details on the cuffs. The white sleeves and blue details pay tribute to the kits Arsenal wore in the 1930s under legendary manager Herbert Chapman. There is also a detail on the back collar that honors Chapman's revolutionary WM formation and Arsenal's motto Victoria, Concordia, Crescit, which means Victory through Harmony.
Embroidered Arsenal team badge and Nike logo are on the front along with a screened sponsor design. Moisture wicking, vented jersey with Dri-FIT technology. 100% recycled polyester.

Against Academic Magnet, Marty Williams truly lived up to all the hype surrounding him. All told it was a 400 yard explosion both passing and rushing and an amazing six touchdowns. With CJ Williams fresh on their minds, Marty made sure they he would do something special for him, and that was the six TD performance to match CJ's uniform number.
"I had visited with him at the hospital earlier that day and I had told him that I was going to wear the jersey for him earlier that week and I just wanted to confirm it with him to be sure it was alright." said Marty Williams "He said it was cool so I told him I was going to score six touchdowns for him and I went ahead and did it for him."
"It's not even surprising us anymore, it's kind of what we expect of him." said coach Russ Schneider with a smile "A lot of his are on busted plays and he does some amazing things on the field. He was running with a lot of emotion too. He had a little anger, he was sad, and I think he took it out and it ended up helping us in the end."
It's safe to say Marty Williams and the rest of his teammates will have an extra bounce in their steps with the other good news today. But for now, we honor fox creek's Marty Williams as our Operation Football Live player of the week.

SAN JOSE -- At long last, Milos Raonic played his opening match at this year's SAP Open, and clearly the two-time defending champion was ready.
The power-hitting Canadian needed only 63 minutes Thursday night to defeat Michael Russell 6-2, 7-5 and advance to the quarterfinals at HP Pavilion.
Raonic, the top seed, will play Denis Istomin on Friday in a rematch of last year's final, which Raonic won in straight sets.
"I'm definitely comfortable here," said Raonic, who had an opening-round bye. "I made a big emphasis on starting aggressive today. I think I played pretty well."
Raonic's victory followed a day/early evening session in which three matches went a full three sets, none more compelling and dramatic than the last.
More than two hours after it began, third-seeded Sam Querrey finally survived Lleyton Hewitt's upset bid when the Australian double faulted on match point.
Hewitt challenged the call, something he did often in the match. But the ruling stood as Querrey advanced with a 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-6 (4) victory over the former No. 1-ranked player in the world.
The match had many twists and turns as it stretched well into what was supposed to be the first hour of the night session.
Querrey, ranked 20th, started in dominating fashion, overpowering Hewitt to win the first three games with ease. But once Hewitt started to get a read on Querrey's 130-plus mph servers, it was as if the clock rolled back 10 or so years.
Instead of looking like the 118th-ranked player that he now is, Hewitt, 31, started to resemble the player he was when he outlasted Andre Agassi in a three-set thriller to win the San Jose tournament in 2002.
"Lleyton is so much better than his ranking," Querrey said. "To get through, that makes me feel really good and confident."
Hewitt began dictating the points with his all-out style, giving himself multiple chances to take the first set as the games stretched longer and longer.
But facing two set points in the tiebreaker, Querrey blasted a forehand winner and then Hewitt hit a backhand long to pull even. Querrey won the next two points as well, one on a 136-mph ace, to close out the set.
But Hewitt kept charging, cruising through the second set to force the dramatic conclusion.
"He hits a tough ball," Querrey said, "because it stays so low. It's hard to really attack it and do a lot with it. I stuck with it, won a couple of long points. I thought it was a pretty high-quality match. He served really well. I served well. In the end, a couple of double faults separated the match."
The third set was tight and tense.
It ultimately came down to a tiebreaker, which Querrey started with a 137-mph ace -- his 20th and final one of the match.
The tiebreaker stayed on serve until Hewitt double faulted to trail 4-2. The match ended five points later when Hewitt double faulted again.
The victory was Querrey's first in three matches against Hewitt and continued a recent roll for the 25-year-old American. Querrey is 7-2 this season.
"This is probably my best start to a year in my career," Querrey said.
Earlier Thursday, No. 8 seed Xavier Malisse rallied to defeat Matthew Ebden 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (1), and sixth-seeded Istomin defeated Benjamin Becker 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-2.
Hours later, Raonic set up the rematch against Istomin, who lost last year's final 7-6 (3), 6-2.
"It's going to be difficult," Raonic said. "He plays well when you really go at him. You stretch him, and he's very good at coming up with big shots in difficult situations. I've got to just stay on top of him."
In the final match Thursday, Hewitt and Marinko Matosevic upset the top-seeded doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan 6-4, 6-7 (4), 10-7.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.

Global Wind Energy Capacity up by 22% in 2010: GWEC
Global capacity of wind power installations grew by 35.8 gigawatts (GW) in 2010, a 22.5% increase on the 158.7 GW installed at the end of 2009, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) announced on February 2. This brings total installed wind energy capacity up to 194.4 GW, according to figures from the global wind industry trade association. For the first time, more than half of all new wind power was added outside of the traditional markets in Europe and North America. The shift was driven mainly by the continuing boom in China, which installed 16.5 GW in 2010 and now claims global leadership with 42.3 GW of wind power. Overall, the annual 2010 wind market was down for the first time in 20 years, shrinking by 7% from 38.6 GW in 2009, due largely to slowdowns in the United States and Europe, GWEC said.
The U.S. wind industry built 5,115 megawatts (MW) of wind power last year, which was about half of 2009's record pace, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). However, AWEA said U.S. industry entered 2011 with more than 5,600 MW under construction. The one-year extension by Congress of the Section 1603 Investment Tax Credit for renewable energy was expected to spur more project start ups to meet the new construction deadline for the tax credit now expiring at the end of 2011. See the GWEC press release, the GWEC summary, and the AWEA press release.

FARMINGTON - The California Highway Patrol deployed a helicopter with a heat-seeking device late Tuesday to locate a speeding driver who had abandoned his girlfriend and his car in a pasture and covered himself in mud in a drainage ditch to evade capture, authorities said.
The CHP arrested Jimmy Terry, 26, of Murphys, an active parolee, on suspicion of felony evading, resisting arrest and driving on a suspended license.
The incident began shortly after midnight Tuesday when Terry, driving a 2000 Audi, was clocked going faster than 90 mph down Jack Tone Road in eastern San Joaquin County, authorities said. CHP officers pursued him for more than 15 miles, heading east on Highway 4 into Stanislaus County at speeds in excess of 100 mph, before Terry drove into a pasture.
Terry fled on foot, leaving behind a passenger, Crystal Towle, 24, of Stockton, who was described as Terry's girlfriend, police said. She was detained while CHP officers from the Stockton and San Andreas offices along with Angels Camp police set up a perimeter to search for Terry.
After 25 minutes, the helicopter located Terry attempting to hide in a drainage ditch approximately two miles from where he abandoned his car, authorities said. Towle was arrested on suspicion of providing false information to a peace officer.

About the Book
"When you're tired of run-of-the-mill fiction, it's time to read [Tim Davys]."
—Brad Meltzer, author of The Book of Lies
"A world that's violent, tender, hilarious, and downright sickening. Really, what could be better?"
—Eric Garcia, author of Anonymous Rex
Tim Davys is one of the most uniquely imaginative novelists writing today—the architect of Mollisan Town, a dark urban nightmare located in an alternate world populated by stuffed animals that lie, cheat, dream, despair, love, and kill. In the final installment in his acclaimed Mollisan Town Quartet, Davys leads us into Yok, a district of dashed hopes and broken dreams—the seediest neighborhood of "a unique place that is both strange and familiar" (Boston Globe)—and employs an engaging cast of damaged animate plush toys to explore provocative questions of life, death, and morality. Yok is nourishment for readers hungry for off-beat, literary fiction, and fans of Christopher Moore, Neil Gaiman, Clifford Chase, and Jasper Fforde will be inexorably drawn into Davys' ingeniously sculpted world.
In Yok, Mollisan Town's seediest neighborhood, Fox Antonio Ortega, Erik Gecko, Mike Chimpanzee, and Vincent Hare are trapped by ignorance, poverty, mediocrity, and their own insecurities. Yet there is a glimmer of hope, a chance that they can overcome their desperate circumstances and gain the freedom to achieve their dreams. The handsome fox yearns for true love; the gecko seeks redemption and freedom from his abusive brothers; the chimpanzee burns for success; and the hare seeks the secret to a meaningful life. But when they get close to their desires, will happiness slip out of reach, or can they find the power to grab what they want?
Mollisan Town is unlike any world ever created in literature. Within its colorful streets dwell the desires, dark sides, hopes, and expectations of its plush inhabitants. From romance to ambition, jealousy to despair, the stuffed animals of Yok must grapple with the most human of emotions. The tension mounts within these four gripping tales, and each character's journey leads to a truth that reveals something about the animals of this alternate world—and about ourselves.

New Pricing Makes LED Bulbs More Affordable for Homeowners
Consumers who would like to start saving energy by switching to LED lightbulbs have long been put off by their price tags. But new moves by some major suppliers mean competition is starting to reduce that cost barrier.
Cree on Wednesday is putting a $19.97 price tag on a new bulb sold through Home Depot. It's got the equivalent light output of a 100-watt incandescent bulb, a desirable brightness level for many home applications that has, until now, carried a high premium.
The Durham, N.C., company was one of the first makers of light-emitting diode chips, only entering the market for consumer LED bulbs a year ago. Cree is also reducing prices on the other bulbs it sells through Home Depot by up to 23%.
One of Cree's 60-watt equivalent bulbs, for example, will fall to $9.97 from $12.97, the company said.
"We are making an affordability statement," said Mike Watson, Cree's vice president of product strategy.
And competition means more savings all around. One of Cree's biggest rivals, Philips, on Monday announced a 60-watt equivalent bulb at $9.97.
The consumer electronics giant, which offers a 100-watt equivalent bulb for $24.97, stresses that most of its bulbs are certified under a U.S. government program called Energy Star that can qualify them for utility rebates. (Cree says its 75-watt and 100-watt bulbs are still under Energy Star evaluation).
Most LED bulbs from Philips are round with a distinctive flattened head, but the new "SlimStyle" bulb announced Monday has a more two-dimensional design, a bit like a loop. Cree's bulbs look more like incandescent bulbs, distinguished mainly by a white circular heat sink.
Other companies are planning to keep battling in the low-priced LED bulb sector. One is Switch, a startup in San Jose, Calif. The company says some of its 40-watt and 60-watt equivalent bulbs now retail for $11.99, and expects to offer 75-watt and 100-watt bulbs in the budget price class later this year.
Philip Smallwood, an analyst at the market research firm Strategies Unlimited, estimates that worldwide revenues for LED bulbs in incandescent-replacement class known as A19 were only $1 billion in 2013. Aided by price declines, however, he sees the market growing to $5.2 billion by 2018.
"The only thing that is stopping consumers in the residential sector is price," says Philip Smallwood, an analyst at the market research firm Strategies Unlimited. "With Cree cutting down these prices so much, and others coming down, it really is the driving factor for adoption."

Focus Stocks
Bulls in Charge of Verizon
Published on Thursday, 06 December 2012 05:03 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, December 6th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Verizon Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VZ) ended the trading session higher by $0.42 or 0.96% from its previous close. Verizon's price action formed what is considered to be a bullish engulfing candle that could very well signal a continuation of trend or reversal of the ongoing weakness.
Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) is an integrated telecommunications company that provides wire line voice and data services, wireless services, Internet services, and published directory information. The Company also provides network services for the federal government. Verizon is the owner of the largest wireless network, with more subscribers in the U.S. Verizon was founded in 1983 and is based in New York, New York.
Verizon's recent stock range was formed by a trough where calculated support was defined at $40.51 and by a peak that established the resistance level at $43.77. This range could be used by traders managing their positions.
Traders wanting to establish a position in Verizon or traders that are already holding the stock can use the bullish engulfing pattern to their advantage. The pattern provides a defined risk, as it shows where the bears were able to push the stock down, before the bulls step in with a bid.
The bullish engulfing pattern is a leading indicator that provides an alert to the bulls that the trend will continue or that there is an immediate reversal to the short-term weakness seen on the stock. Below an Engulfing Bullish Candle Illustration:

Deciphering life's lessons almost always requires bucking up and taking a share of the big bad blame. Figuring out our unique contribution to circumstances and situations gone bad is no fun. It's icky but enlightening. Problem is, society these days seems more intent on teaching us how to eschew responsibility than shouldering it. It's always the boss's fault, the teacher's fault, our parents' or our spouse's fault. My personal favorite of late is the evil computer that I am able to blame for nearly every wrongdoing (while my husband often reminds me that everything is Microsoft's fault). The rounds of excuses become so convoluted that I'm pretty certain ultimate responsibility lies with that initial utterance of "Let there be light." Owning up is a lesson I learn over and over and well, over again. So, when I hear different ideas on how best to teach, and learn, responsibility I take notice.
A friend offered up a good tip recently. When one of her kids starts with a poor me attitude about how they've received a bum rap, she typically starts by stopping them in their tracks. Sure, she'll eventually listen to the entire story, and maybe even commiserate a (little) bit. But before the words start rolling, and the excuses pour in, she asks a real simple question. "What was your role in all this?" It doesn't seem like such a big question, but I've found it can prompt a different take on the situation. The question merely acknowledges that we all play a role in how life comes at us, and that it's not a bad idea to take some time to think about it.
I've been trying this approach at home, not just with the kids, but internally as well. Not so much "how could this have happened?" or even "what can I learn from all this?" Questions that tend to take the focus off of my role, and sometimes inadvertently avert responsibility. Instead, trying to focus on the role I've played, without the incessant chatter about what someone else did or said, distills both the conduct and the consequences into a genuine learning moment.
Modern day excuse theory is downright scary. I searched online for some uplifting advice on why we shouldn't make excuses. The first article that popped up was very informative, but not one I recommend. It gave great detail to kids about when and how to make excuses for not doing homework assignments. Despite the author's attempt to use as many euphemisms as possible, it finally boiled down to when it's appropriate to lie. Seriously?
There's also plenty of theory out there about why we live in an age overflowing with excuse. Fear tops the list. Fear of failure, or not living up to expectations are the commonly cited motivators for making a good excuse. On the flip side is the fact we tend to have more respect for people who actually own-up, bear the blame and even offer a genuine apology. In this heated political season it's refreshing when someone - anyone - genuinely takes responsibility. And when I hear someone - anyone - taking this step, instead of dismissing them as a failure I want to break out the party hats.
Sure, making excuses is nothing new, remember Adam and Eve and that whole apple fiasco? But there's wisdom that comes from our forefathers, relevant during this season, including our first president's view that "it is better to offer no excuse than a bad one." Or, his buddy Ben's advice I'll try to remember next time I come up with a doozy, "[s]he that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else." But, my all time favorite remains "excuses are like bellybuttons, everyone has one and they're all worthless." Author unknown (but I can still hear my pop's voice ringing in my ears ...).

Wednesday, April 4, 2012
10 a.m.
A severe storm blew through Augusta around midnight, leaving a wave of destruction in its path.
The gates to Augusta National, which normally open at 8 a.m., were not opened until 8:40 a.m. as crews worked to clean up damage from the storm.
One of the workers I talked with said there were a few downed trees inside the course.
But all is good so far -- the sun is shining and the heat is already bearing down. We could see some storms today, but hopefully everything will stay clear for the Par 3 Contest, which is set to start this afternoon.
The news conference with Billy Payne, the chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, is scheduled for 11 a.m. It's during this conference that we'll find out about any changes to the tournament.
11:30 a.m.
There were both intense and laughter-filled moments during the news conference with Augusta National Chairman Billy Payne.
One of the hot topics was about the potential for female membership in the club, which is an issue that was thrust into the spotlight when Virginia Rometty became CEO of IBM. The chief executives of major sponsoring companies are typically given memberships to Augusta National. After being asked multiple questions about this, Payne was firm in his response that these "private deliberations" were not up for discussion.
Another big topic was storm damage. Payne said several trees fell, although none of them will impact the competition. The cleanup is ongoing after 1.4 inches of rain fell on the course. One of the restrooms was hit by a falling tree and several bunkers were washed out. He called his team's response "amazing." The course won't have its usual firmness but should be OK for the competition.
During his opening statement, Payne put a lot of emphasis on growing "the great game of golf." He said much outreach is being done to ensure more young people are brought into the game.
Payne was very happy to discuss the revamp of Masters.com, saying the website underwent dramatic changes. He said their main goal is to create a website that is beautiful and a source of information. All of the ticketing for the tournament is now online, which Payne was excited to note.
The chairman had lots of great things to say about Rory McIlroy, calling him "a true gentleman." Although he didn't hint to who he thinks will win this year, he did say McIlroy has a green jacket in his future.
He made sure to to note the deaths of former Masters champion Seve Ballesteros, veteran sportscaster Jim Huber and renowned golf writer Furman Bisher.
Payne was close with Bisher and said the loss was hard for him.
"He told me that he was proud of me," he said. "I told him he was my hero."
A few renovations have been made to the course since last year, including a heating and cooling system being added to the eighth and 16th holes, building Berckmans Place and an observation stand on the 14th.
1:30 p.m.
Made my way over the Par 3 Contest. All of the golfers seemed to be in good moods. The way the course is set up makes it a more intimate and social event. Some of the golfers even brought their children along as caddies.
An interesting fact: I received word from the newsroom that the Richmond County Dive Team is stationed around the ponds at the Par 3 Course in case someone falls or jumps in.
I saw a lot of players pass by in the time I was there, but the most notable were Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Trevor Immelman.
Trevor Immelman with his caddie:
Phil Mickelson:
Rickie Fowler:
Yes, the grass is really this green.
A scenic picture from the course.
1:40 p.m.
Dying to know the most recent scores from the Par 3 Contest? Keep up with the latest scores on Masters.com.
3:45 p.m.
Just made it back inside safely after the horns sounded, telling the crowd play had been suspended due to severe weather.
Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus had just finished the third hole when play was suspended.
At this moment, Padraig Harrington and Jonathan Byrd are tied for first after shooting 22. Adam Scott is one stroke behind.
4:05 p.m.
Just saw this on the Masters website:
"The Par 3 Contest is completed because of inclement weather. Padraig Harrington and Jonathan Byrd tied for first at 5-under."
5 p.m.
A weather update from News 12's Meteorologist Vicki Graf: "Right now there are a few more showers/storms that are passing through the Augusta area. Behind that we are watching for a possible break in the activity, the showers seem to be tapering off but they could always develop ahead of a boundary back across northwest Georgia."
With that forecast, it doesn't seem like any more practicing will go on today.
5:10 p.m.
Finally got the chance to upload some pictures from earlier.
One of the biggest highlights of the day was seeing Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player in the Par 3 Contest. Palmer, Nicklaus and Player are going to be the honorary starters tomorrow morning, teeing off at 7:40 a.m.

Some of the golfers had their children as caddies in the Par 3 Contest. One of the cutest caddies was the son of Rory Sabbatini (South Africa).
Y. E. Yang and his young caddie.
Jerry Pate had some fun talking to the crowd at the third hole.

Working on Sandler feature, Russell Brand had himself hypnotised so he'd be less attracted to co-star
The Brit admits he fell hard for Palmer when they were working on 2008 Adam Sandler comedy Bedtime Stories and asked hypnotist pal Paul McKenna to help make him believe the Australian stunner wasn't as attractive as he thought she was. But when that didn't work, Brand reveals he just let nature run its course.

The Shawnee Contract Review Committee met Tuesday to discuss contracts the city of Shawnee has with various entities.
The five entities included the Senior Citizens Center, the Central Oklahoma Community Action Agency, the Shawnee Economic Development Foundation, the Shawnee Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Shawnee YMCA.
The committee asked the COCAA to return to the next meeting with their most recent audit, Committee Member James Harrod said. The agency had not yet received that audit, and had included all other information.
Once that information is received, another meeting will be scheduled and the committee may take action regarding recommendations to give to the Shawnee City Commission, Harrod said.
No action was taken at Tuesday's meeting.
Once the committee makes a recommendation, it is up to the Shawnee City Commission to actually approve any contract.

My computer can't detect PMS. I have 4 GB ram and a Quad Core CPU, the PS3 is connected to the router by wireless connection and the PC is connected by ethernet cable to the router. I also have another PC connected by wireless to the router and i've tried to run PMS on that computer and it worked (it detected the PS3). But since the signal strength is to low on that computer the video files played on the PS3 break a lot and it's impossible to watch a movie because it's too slow.
I think the problem is the connection of the PC to the router (wired) versus the connection of the PS3 to router (wireless) but i can't find a solution. I've already tried to force proper network interface or the host computer IP but it doesn't work.

AUSTIN (November 7, 2012)—Texas Gov. Rick Perry Wednesday was calling for the repeal of the White House-backed federal health care reform law and urging Washington to stop trampling states' rights.
In a statement Wednesday reacting to President Barack Obama's re-election, Perry said Mr. Obama has "a chance to start over" and should "take steps this time to govern responsibly."
He said the president "can put an end to his reckless disregard for our rule of law and spare our nation another long, painful and expensive four years."
Perry briefly sought the Republican presidential nomination against Mitt Romney, but flamed out after a series of public gaffes.
He said voters must force Mr. Obama and Congress "to once and for all cut spending, repeal Obamacare and withdraw federal encroachment into state decision-making and personal liberties."

Get ready, ladies. Steven Tyler is single again.
Oh come on -- he's a rock star. He's your grandfather's age, but he's still a rock star.
Tyler, 64, and his fiancee, Erin Brady, 39, have split. The pair got engaged last year, the New York Post's Page Six confirmed that "It's over for good this time," a source told the paper.
"Steven was just not that nice to her in the end," the Page Six source added. "His family and entourage never really accepted her and she can do better." The source continues, "They're still friendly but they're going their own ways. The engagement is off."
Tyler was spotted vacationing in Hawaii for New Year's, but his fiancee was nowhere to be seen. His children went to support him while he performed in Maui at a charity event hosted by Alice Cooper, even though Maui is where he popped the question during a Christmas vacation in 2011.
The Aerosmith frontman's engagement surprised his family, who didn't approve of Brady, whom he started dating in 2006. "They didn't like Brady. She's just not nice," a source told TMZ in 2011. "She's just been mean to the family."
Tyler seemed ready to settle down. In a 2011 interview, the rocker expressed remorse for his womanizing ways. "I don't want to hurt anybody again," he said, while holding hands with Brady, during a sit-down with Oprah Winfrey. "For all the divorces I've had, I've hurt those girls deeply. There was some behavior that I'm ashamed of and I shouldn't have done."
Tyler was previously married to Cyrinda Foxe from 1978 to 1987, and Teresa Barrick from 1998 to 2006.

4< Cross-Examined by Mr Irving, continued.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, Mr Irving?
6 MR IRVING: May it please the court. My apologies for this
7late start.
8 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is quite all right.
9 MR IRVING: My Lord, today we will certainly advance to the end
10of 1942 and I will certainly finish on Monday.
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Good.
12 MR IRVING: So that is the target that I have set. Professor
13Evans, good morning.
14 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Good morning.
15 Q. [Mr Irving] Would you please go to page 306 of your report? If we
16could just before that go briefly to page 302 on paragraph
174? It is a minor point but we will take in our stride.
18You criticise on line 4 of paragraph 4 that "Irving all
19too often provides inaccurate references or no source
20references at all".
21 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
22 Q. [Mr Irving] Now, on the facing page on the bottom you have quoted
23three documents from the Public Records Office, Foreign
24Office, archives?
25 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
26 Q. [Mr Irving] Did you find those yourself or were they from my discovery
1or from my ----
2 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] These were found by one of my researchers in the Public
3Record Office.
4 Q. [Mr Irving] In the Public Record Office.
5 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Where there are documents that I found in your discovery,
6I have said so.
7 Q. [Mr Irving] So they made no use of the identical documents in my
8discovery provided to your solicitors then or of the
9reference numbers that I gave in the footnotes of my
11 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] No, we went straight to the Public Record Office.
12 Q. [Mr Irving] How did they know which of these tens of thousands of
13files to look in if it was not from the source references
14I gave in the book?
15 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] That was, I presume, how we knew.
16 Q. [Mr Irving] We now advance to page 306. You, of course, have strong
17criticism ----
18 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] If I may just add to that, that I think these concern
19British Ambassadorial reports, that is right, and I note
20at the top of page 301 that you footnote those reports.
21 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes, thank you. In other words, I give sufficient
22references for you and your research to find documents
23like that?
24 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] In some instances, yes, in some instances you do not.
25 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes, well, we will come to those instances later on. I do
26not think it is enormously important, but one or two I am
1going to pick off like a sniper. You have general
2criticism of a lady called Ingrid Weckert. You consider
3that her work is anti-semitic and that she is a neo-Nazi,
4and these are reasons why one should not use her, is that
6 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] She is not a serious historian. Her work is anti-semitic
8 Q. [Mr Irving] I do not want to labour the point, but we had a discussion
9several days ago, you may remember, in which I asked you
10do revisionists ever turn up anything useful? Do they
11ever do any useful research or would you totally ignore
12the body of evidence the revisionists provide?
13 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I would ignore it unless ----
14 Q. [Mr Irving] Ignore it?
15 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] --- I mean, unless you count yourself as a revisionist.
16 Q. [Mr Irving] This was going to be my -- well anticipated. Do you
17consider me to be a revisionist whom you would ignore the
18work I do?
19 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] That is what you call yourself. I mean, I have said
20repeatedly that you have turned up in the course of your
21career a number of documents of varying value, but some
22are valuable.
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: We are slightly missing the point on Ingrid
24Weckert, are we not? I think the point that Professor
25Evans makes (and you may want to deal with this) is that
26she is, as he describes her, not a serious historian but
1an anti-semitic propagandist and you cite her seven times
2in, is it Goebbels -- yes, Goebbels.
3 MR IRVING: My Lord everyone is anticipating very well what
4I am about to ask this morning.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Except me.
6 MR IRVING: I was going to get on to this. At the beginning of
7paragraph 6 on page 306, you tend to talk a great deal
8about the book by Ingrid Weckert?
9 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
10 Q. [Mr Irving] Now, why do you do this? Is there any evidence at all
11that I have had the book or I that I have used the book or
12that I have relied on the book?
13 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes, there is.
14 Q. [Mr Irving] What is this book then?
15 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] There is a -- in a number of my footnotes ----
16 Q. [Mr Irving] Are you referring to footnote 162?
17 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] 154 and 160.
18 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes.
19 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] And ----
20 Q. [Mr Irving] Is that a book?
21 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] And 158 and 162, and I understand that these are articles
22which were put together then to make a book.
23 Q. [Mr Irving] You reference the actual book on footnote 159, is that
25 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] That is right, yes.

BOSTON -- For more than two full games, Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask and his teammates suffocated the high-powered Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Final.
But with the unpleasant possibility of falling within one loss of elimination, the Blackhawks found a way to dictate terms in Game 4 -- but what transpired at TD Garden might have been a little crazier than even they would have liked.
Brent Seabrook capped a wild night when he scored 9:51 into overtime Wednesday to give the Blackhawks a series-tying 6-5 victory in an instant classic that bore little resemblance to the first three games of the series. This Final is even at two victories each, with Game 5 at United Center on Saturday night (8 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC, RDS).
After scoring just one goal in Games 2 and 3, the Blackhawks lit things up on Wednesday.
"It [was] time to put all those other games behind us -- the games where we struggled to score, forget about it, just find a way to do what you do," Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. "It was fun to see the puck go in as often as it did tonight. We know we can be better defensively. But we'll use that confidence and try our best to pounce on them in [Game 5]."
Chicago twice led by two goals before Boston drew even in the third period, then led 5-4 with less than eight minutes remaining in regulation before the Bruins scored to force overtime. There were wild sequences that led to highlight-reel saves, fluky bounces that led to goals -- and everything in between.
The Blackhawks put Boston in a two-goal hole for the first time since the Bruins trailed the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 in Game 7 of the opening round. They forced the typically patient Bruins to play a wide-open style hockey -- not the way Claude Julien's team wants to play.
"It is not fun. We battled back many times, didn't make it easy on ourselves," said Rask, who had shut out Blackhawks for more than 122 minutes entering Game 4. "At the end of the day, it is a one-goal game and they get it. We just made it too tough on ourselves. Not our best night."
Seabrook's goal was his third of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the second in overtime. It came from a similar place on the ice as the goal Seabrook scored 3:35 OT of Game 7 against the Detroit Red Wings to advance the Blackhawks to the Western Conference Final.
Seabrook collected the puck near the Stanley Cup Final logo at the top of the Boston zone, skated toward the right circle and stepped into a low slap shot that headed toward the far post. Toews, who had snapped a long scoring drought earlier by getting to the front of the net for a deflection, was able to shield Boston captain Zdeno Chara from the shot and Rask wasn't able to stretch to his right in time.
"It's exciting," Seabrook said. "Everybody worked so hard tonight, everybody's worked so hard through the playoffs, we're all contributing. It doesn't matter if I score, or anybody else scores; it's nice to get the win and move on to the next day. I think it's definitely exciting to score in an overtime game, an overtime goal. But at the end of the day it's just a win and we still need two more, so..."
This was the first time a Stanley Cup Final game ended in overtime and featured more than 10 goals since the New York Islanders defeated the Vancouver Canucks in 6-5 in Game 1 of the 1982 Final. It was the first to finish with a 6-5 final score since the Blackhawks defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 1 of the 2010 Final.
After a relatively tame first 25 minutes, a tip-in goal by Toews gave Chicago a 2-1 lead at 6:33 of the second period and triggered something that resembled loosely controlled chaos.
Toews hadn't scored since the Detroit series, but he did help Patrick Kane break out of a similar slump late in the conference finals against the Los Angeles Kings. They were back together for the first time since the Final started, and Kane made it a 3-1 lead a little more than two minutes after Toews' goal with his seventh of the playoffs.
"I've got to say this -- the last couple days Seabrook has been coming up to me, asking me what I'm thinking about," Toews said. "You know, I have to give him the right answer: 'I'm thinking about scoring a goal.' He's been trying to help me out, make me think a little bit better, have those positive thoughts. You work hard, eventually you're going to
find a way."
Milan Lucic cut the lead to one with his third goal of the series and sixth of the postseason when he backhanded the rebound of a Chara point shot past Corey Crawford at 14:43.
The public address announcer was still finishing the goal call when Marcus Kruger restored Chicago's two-goal advantage at 15:32. Rask made an amazing save on Kruger's first attempt -- a backhanded shot after collecting a pass from Michal Frolik on a 2-on-1 against Chara -- but Kruger was able to stop near the goal line and tuck the rebound into the net for his third goal of the playoffs.
Kane took an ill-advised offensive-zone penalty, and the Bruins scored their second power-play goal of the night to get back within one again at 17:22. Chara's shot from the top of the offensive zone deflected high over the net, hit the glass behind Crawford, bounced off the top of the Blackhawks net and came right to Patrice Bergeron in the crease. Bergeron had an easy tap-in before Crawford could find the puck.
Boston tied the contest 4-4 2:05 into the third period on Bergeron's second of the game and ninth of the postseason, tying David Krejci for the team lead. Jaromir Jagr, who became the 19th player in NHL history to appear in 200 Stanley Cup Playoff games, earned his second assist of the game when he set up Bergeron for a one-timer from near the top of the right circle
Chicago's Patrick Sharp had several great chances earlier in the game denied by Rask. But on his eighth shot of the night, he jammed home the rebound of Marian Hossa's power-play shot from the high slot at 11:19. It was Sharp's 10th goal, the most of anyone in this year's playoffs, and Chicago's first power-play goal in 15 tries in the series.
The lead lasted only 55 seconds before defenseman Johnny Boychuk's blast from the right point beat Crawford to make it 5-5.
Both teams traded chances before regulation ended, and the Bruins had the better of play in OT before Seabrook scored.
"It is a 10-goal game after three, so I think both teams are kind of like not playing their best defensively," Rask said. "It is kind of attack, attack and hope that the other team makes a mistake. Today, it was us."
The two teams traded goals in the first period. Michal Handzus gave Chicago the lead at 6:48 when he converted a 2-on-1 with rookie Brandon Saad for a shorthanded goal. But Saad's giveaway led to an unassisted power-play goal by Rich Peverley at 14:43.
Boston came into this contest with a 2-1 series lead after back-to-back strong defensive efforts. Chicago captured Game 1 with a goal from Andrew Shaw in the third overtime of the fifth-longest game in Cup Final history. The Bruins responded with an overtime win of its own in Game 2 on a goal from Daniel Paille and then shut out the Blackhawks 2-0 in Game 3.
Now the series shifts back to Chicago, but with an extra off day for the Bruins to stew about their lack of defensive structure and for the Blackhawks to figure out how to sustain their newfound ability to create chances against Rask and his defense.
"It is definitely not our style of game," Bergeron said of the up-tempo contests. "We need to tighten up in our zone and also in the neutral zone. The fact is with their speed -- this is what they want. There are some things we haven't done right.
"You got to bring your best. It is time to focus on Game 5 now. There is nothing you can do about the previous four. We're even, and it is about the best-of-3 now. You have to look at it that way, and go out and be ready for Game 5."

It is as though they made another GameCube game and slapped a Wii cover on it.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
Mario Party 8 Wii Review.
The Mario Party franchise isn't a new concept, and judging by the title Mario Party 8 isn't the first of its kind. You might even remember the Mario Party series released on Gamecube; it was a mild success and was one of the best selling games on GameCube. Well Nintendo decided that they wanted to bring this pretty popular game to Wii. They were looking for a big hit on Wii. Well tough luck because this game is about as boring as watching paint dry.
Seriously, the controls of this game are horrible and bland. It works just as much as it fails which means you are going to have hours and hours of pain and suffering when you pop this game into your Wii console. It is a good concept where you play on a board and then battle it out on series of minigames. Some of the games aren't that bad; like the sawing game.
So whats the big problem with this game? Well for starters it is available in 16:9 widescreen mode. Well, the menus are, but as soon as you get into a mini game the game magically morphs into 4:3. Talk about a load of horse shit! Not to mention the graphics are barely as good as GameCube, and guess what the storyline is in text in bubbles. What fun! Not!
True, there are ton of new boards, and up 60+ characters. Also, choose from more than 14 characters to waste your life away with. Lets face it playing a board game by yourself sucks ass. I tried to play with my friends and guess what the control on this game were so dodgy that we took the game out, and put in Super Smash Bros Brawl instead.
It just seems to be the same old thing we have seen a million times. I thought it would be awesome with the Wii remote. Wrong because in one of the mini games where you go through Lugi's mason with a flashlight. Guess what, the Wii remote doesn't work. Get this you use the D Pad. It is like they make another GameCube game in slapped a Wii cover on it. Don't waste your money with this worthless game.

Governmental Immunity - Municipal
New October 8, 2010
In this case, the <defendant>
claims that (he/she/it) cannot be held liable to the plaintiff for any damages
the plaintiff may have suffered because (he/she/it) is protected from such
liability by governmental immunity. The defendant has the burden of proving
this special defense of immunity by a preponderance of the evidence.
Under our law, a municipal
employee, while working on behalf of the public, cannot be found liable for
negligent acts or omissions if those acts or omissions were the result of an
exercise of the employee's judgment and discretion rather than the mere
execution of a mandatory course of conduct. This immunity, if it applies,
protects both the innocent employee and the negligent employee. That is,
whether the employee was careless or careful is immaterial to the question of
whether the defendant is immune from liability. Every municipal employee, who
is required to use discretion in the performance of (his/her/its) job, is
covered by this cloak of immunity, unless some exception applies, which exception[s] I will discuss with you shortly.
The rationale for shielding
municipal employees from legal responsibility for injuries they may have caused
through negligence, which resulted from the necessary exercise of their
discretion, arises because exposure to such liability may have the effect of
cramping the exercise of that discretion to the detriment of the public. This
immunization reflects a value judgment by society that, despite injury to an
individual member of the public, the broader interest in having governmental
officers and employees unhampered by the fear of being second-guessed and
subjected to lawsuits outweighs the benefits to permitting such liability.
However, this rationale is
inapplicable, of course, in the situation where the municipal employee has no
leeway as to how to act. If the employee performs a task which requires no
exercise of discretion, then no immunity exists. Such mandatory activities are
known as ministerial acts, as opposed to discretionary acts. Ministerial acts
are those duties which the public employee must perform in a prescribed manner
without the exercise of judgment or discretion. There is no immunity for the
employee who negligently deviates from that prescribed path and causes injury.
In this case, (the parties
agree/the court instructs you) that the defendant was a municipal employee
engaged in a governmental function at the time of the plaintiff's alleged
injury. The parties disagree, however, as to whether the defendant was free to
exercise discretion when acting or failing to act as (he/she/it) did.
<Discuss specifics of
parties' contentions>
The question for you to
decide, then, is whether the defendant was performing a discretionary or
ministerial act when the plaintiff was allegedly injured by the defendant's
conduct. As I stated earlier, the burden is on the defendant, who desires the
benefit of governmental immunity, to persuade you, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that (his/her/its) actions or inactions were the result of the
exercise of discretion rather than the failure to comport with a mandatory
course of conduct.
If you find that the
defendant has failed to meet the burden of establishing this special defense,
then no immunity would protect the defendant from liability if you determine
that the defendant was negligent and that negligence proximately caused the
injuries claimed by the plaintiff. If, however, you find that the defendant has
satisfied this burden, then you would (render a verdict for the defendant on the
negligence count/proceed to consider whether the plaintiff has proved that an
exception to this governmental immunity applies in this case).
Doe v. Petersen,
279 Conn. 607 (2006); General Statutes § 52-557n.
In most cases, the
existence of governmental immunity and any exceptions will be resolved by
summary judgment. Doe v. Petersen, supra, 279 Conn 613. Whether the
victim is identifiable or a member of an identifiable class is a question of law
for the court to decide, Prescott v. Meriden, 273 Conn. 759, 763-64

La Push, Washington
this wiki
La Push is a Native American reservation in the state of Washington. It is located near Forks, and houses the Quileute tribe. It is well known for surfing and whale-watching. It is one of the main settings for the second book of the Twilight saga, New Moon, as it is the hometown of Bella's family friend Jacob Black. Stephenie Meyer used the local tribe in the first book as a plot device to tell Bella, and the reader, that the Cullens were vampires, and in New Moon she added a genetic quirk that allows the Quileutes to turn into werewolves when vampires are in the area.
Tribal Quileute members built cedar canoes that ranged in size from two-man to ocean-going freight vessels capable of carrying three tons. They ranked second only to the Makah as whalers, and first among all the tribes as sealers. Special woolly-haired dogs were bred, and their hair spun into prized blankets. According to the stories, the Quileutes' only kin, the Chimacum, were separated from them by a great flood that swept them to the Quimper Peninsula on the other side of the North Olympic Peninsula, where they were wiped out by Chief Seattle and the Suquamish Tribe in the 1860s.
First official contacts with the white man occurred in 1855, when the Quileutes signed a treaty with representatives of Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens. A treaty a year later would have moved them to a reservation in Taholah, but the Quileute territory was so remote it wasn't enforced. In February 1889, an executive order by President Grover Cleveland established a one mile square reservation at La Push which, at the time, had 252 inhabitants. While villagers were picking hops in Puyallup, the town was destroyed by arson in 1889.
Modern dayEdit
Today, La Push has ocean front resorts, a seafood company, fish hatchery, and a new marina. Quileute Headquarters and a mini museum are on the old village site. The Quileute tribe has recreated its traditional skills and crafts, which are taught at school along with the unique language, which is unrelated to any root language in the world, and one of only five in the world without nasal sounds.
Perched above First Beach in La Push is the La Push Ocean Park and Shoreline Resort, which features motels, townhouses and cabins. Lonesome Creek, a new store, post office and RV park are open in La Push. The popular Quileute Days event takes place July 17-19 in La Push. The tribal celebration of cultural heritage and modern lifestyle includes a fireworks display, a traditional salmon bake, dancing and songs, a softball tournament, and other field sports, a slow pitch tournament, a horse show tournament, arts and craft display, and food concessions.

A Pilot Study of Hepatic Fibrosis in HIV/AIDS Patients with Chronically Elevated Transaminases on Antiretroviral Therapy
The National Institutes of Health is conducting a research study to evaluate HIV-positive patients, aged 18 and older (without hepatitis B or C co-infection), with chronically elevated hepatic transaminases while on HAART for evidence of fibrosis or other liver pathology by examining liver biopsy specimens. The study will include a screening visit, physical exam, laboratory tests, abdominal CT, and a liver biopsy procedure. A specialized ultrasound to look at liver stiffness may also be performed. There will be up to four visits prior to liver biopsy and four follow-up visits after biopsy.
We will obtain a liver biopsy (a sample of tissue) for examination. A liver biopsy is the only reliable way to assess how much damage there is to the liver. We will perform radiologic studies, including a CT scan. We will also collect blood. Volunteers will be compensated.

Yakutat is native home to the Eyak peoples of the Copper River Valley, and the Tlingit of the Inside Passage. This region is known for world-class salmon and steelhead fishing, and bountiful wildlife such as eagle, moose, and bear. Discover also the unexpected enchantments of sandy beaches and surfing. Yakutat was dubbed "Surf City, Alaska" in the 1990's, as the first town in Alaska with a surf shop. Surfers come from everywhere to ride the legendary 25-foot waves.
You can see extraordinary 18,000-foot Mount St. Elias from anywhere in Yakutat. Experienced river guides can take you on fishing explorations down the Situk River. Travel south to see Hubbard Glacier, North America's largest tide water glacier - a 300-foot wall of ice that rises from the ocean, and stretches more than 76 miles.
Alaskan seafood and homemade breads, soups, and desserts are on offer at the Glacier Bear Lodge. The Clay Oven serves good Indian cuisine, and you'll find Chinese food and fresh sushi at Seong's Sushi Bar. Spend an inspired evening with storytellers in community gatherings - they will share with you mythic Tlingit knowledge and wisdom handed down by the Elders.
