Morton Doll grew up on a cattle ranch in the Gypsum Creek Valley that was homesteaded by his grandfather and great-uncle. Cattle ranching and horses were in the Doll family's blood. Mort loved both the country and the lifestyle. Given his druthers, he would have probably preferred to spend his entire life as a rancher.
Mort Doll died May 19 after a lengthy illness. He lived all of his 89 years in the Eagle Valley. A memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, June 9, at the Farnum Holt Funeral Home in Glenwood Springs, 405 W. Seventh St.
In his younger years, Mort was a skilled hunter and a competent fly fisherman. He knew the mountains and valleys of this country like the back of his hand. He never got lost while out in the hills.
"He had a very keen sense of the country around here," remembered his widow, Starr.
Born April 3, 1923, to Hirum Frank Doll and Helen Doll, Mort was the younger of two boys in the family. He and his older brother, Frank Austin Jr., grew up in the cattle business on a Gypsum Creek ranch located below the Brightwater development, on the west side of Gypsum Creek Road.
Mort completed his elementary education at the Upper Gypsum Creek School and graduated from the Eagle County High School in Gypsum in 1941. It was there that he befriended a "town girl," Starr Conway. By that time, his dad had bought a ranch
After graduation, Mort headed out to Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Colorado State University) in Fort Collins. World War II ended his college career after a year. Labor was scarce, and Mort's father needed help on the ranch.
"Being a cowboy was his favorite thing," recalled Starr. Always slight in size, Mort probably never weighed more than 135 pounds and earned the nickname "Squirt" while in school. He attended local rodeos, sometimes competing in bull riding and bareback riding. His companions were often the boys he grew up with - Jack Oleson, Eugene (Junior) Slaughter, Edmund Bobson, Jack Clark and Bobby Stephens.
"Mort was a real good horseman, and a good shot with a rifle. He knew how to ranch." said Oleson, 87. He remembers in particular one non-typical deer that Doll killed. The deer had a series of little horns growing all over its skull, giving it a porcupine-like appearance. Oleson and Doll drove through a blizzard to take the head to be displayed at Denver's Buckhorn Exchange restaurant, which is famous for such unusual trophies.
Mort and Starr were married in Eagle on Jan. 6, 1946. The young couple moved to Dotsero and soon was raising their two sons, Kevin and Buddy, in a house below the present Stephen's Nursery.
Starr and Buddy recall that summers were spent at "cow camp" in the Onion Ridge and Short Creek country, located between Sweetwater and Deep Creek. The boys learned to ride horses, fish, hunt, tie flies and drive tractors.
"We enjoyed it," said Buddy, while admitting that at the time, the boys probably didn't appreciate the opportunities cow camp provided. Mort was also the kids' 4-H leader and did some county fair judging.
In 1963, Mort's widowed mother sold the ranch. He moved his family to Eagle and after a few years working for the L.P. Gas Company, hired on as a surveyor for the Colorado Highway Department. He worked there for 22 years, working his way up to a junior engineering position.
"He was a pretty good mathematician," says Buddy. Mort was part of the crew that engineered the construction of Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon. He retired in 1989.
For a number of years, Mort and Starr enjoyed traveling in their motor home, with trips throughout the West, including the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. Mort's health began to fail about 10 years ago. Although his memory slipped, he always enjoyed drives up into his beloved mountains and was able to stay at home until suffering a heart attack last month. He died in Glenwood Springs.
The simple eulogy Buddy posted on Facebook probably best honors the man.
"You grew up in what was left of the Old West. You will be missed by all who crossed your trail."
Mort Doll is survived by his wife, Starr; son Buddy; four grandchildren (all boys) and two great-grandchildren. A son, Kevin; and Mort's older brother, Frank, preceded him in death.

First off, his name is cool: Shabazz Napier. Sounds the hero in a blaxploitation film.
And his game fits the part. The Connecticut point guard is skilled, as tough as he is tiny, and clutch. All of it was on display Sunday as he led the Huskies to an upset over national favorite Michigan State.
Yes, size is important. Rebounding, defense, hustle -- all are critical elements of being a contender in March Madness. But nothing, however, beats having a dominant guard. Certainly nothing is more special to watch.
And Napier brings that special to the Final Four.
"His swagger, his confident arrogance of how good we are, transfers to everybody on this team," Jim Calhoun, the former UConn coach who brought Napier to the Huskies, told the New York Post.
Napier continues the tournament's tradition of little men carrying their team.
It's even sweeter that he's undersized and athletically limited. Kemba Walker was an exceptional athlete. Kyrie Irving was an elite talent. Russ Smith's team was loaded.
But if Napier pulls this off, it will be largely because of his skill and his heart and his leadership. He's 6-foot-1, not incredibly athletic and doesn't have much around him by way of NBA talent. He has had that level of talent around him in previous years, but NCAA sanctions set the Huskies back. They're not supposed to be here, but Napier won't let them lose.
There is no real Cinderella this season. All of the Final Four teams are noted basketball programs, even if they've struggled at times. But watching Napier etch his name among great tournament guards is as riveting.
He had totaled 141 minutes all season before being pressed into action with the injury to big man Willie Cauley-Stein. But coach John Calipari might end up turning to his Bay Area weapon against Wisconsin.
With Go-Go-Gadget arms, Lee sucked up seven offensive rebounds in 15 minutes, converting four put-back dunks in route to 10 points. He totaled nine points during SEC play.
Oddly enough, Calipari predicted Lee would be a factor.
"You all know Cal's always right," Lee said with a laugh during the postgame new conference. "None of us believed him."
Ruining college hoops, right?
The Kentucky men's basketball team made $20 million in 2012-13, per Forbes. And now it is headed to the Final Four, on the incredible game-winning shot of freshman Aaron Harrison, which means a cash windfall for the program.
Per ESPN's Darren Rovell, Calipari gets a $150,000 bonus for making the Final Four. Even the athletic director gets another $25,000. Both of those bonuses are on top of already-lucrative salaries.
If his scholarship is his salary, what is Harrison's bonus? Considering, you know, he made the shot that put them in the Final Four.
The past two times the Gators made the Final Four, they won the title. They are the most complete team of the quartet despite not having projected NBA stars.

The largest single jackpot prize ever awarded in Michigan, and 44-year-old Donald Lawson's first purchase? Bubblegum.
The self-proclaimed hillbilly originially from Arkansas said he quit his job as a railroad engineer right after he realized he got the winning ticket.
"I want to travel a lot, and now I can go anywhere in the world I want, so that's what I'm going to do," Lawson said.
Lawson opted for the $224.6 million cash lump sum, which amounts to just under $159 million after taxes.
"The money won't last forever unless I use it right and budget it right," Lawson said. "It's not a lot. $337 million, you all think it's a tremendous amount. I'm kinda pissed at Uncle Sam," Lawson joked during the press conference at the Michigan Lottery office.
He said he has a higher power to thank for his good fortune at the Sunoco station in Lapeer on August 15.
"There was a long line, you know, five, six people in front of me," Lawson said. "So, something, something from above, I do have to credit that told me to go over there and pick my own numbers. I didn't really pick them, my hand just went."
The six numbers that changed his life were 6, 27, 46, 51, 56 and Powerball number 21.
He said he told his whole family to retire. Lawson's mother was by his side when he accepted the check, and she said's he not worried about the money changing him.
"He's always been like he is, like you see him today, he's a jokester, it's not going to change," Lawson's mother said. "And so he knows the value of a dollar, all his life."
Lawson said he'll continue to eat at McDonald's, and he doesn't need lobster or filet mignon because he's a "simple guy."
He does plan to put his two daughters through college.
"After that, I'm going to be taken care of, very well," Lawson said.
Lawson confessed he plays the lottery often, maybe even "too much." He went to bed early when the numbers were announced because he never though he'd win. His daughter called the next day, and told him to check out. Lawson said he called his mother right away and played a joke on her.
"I told her I won $200,000 in the Lottery and she didn't believe me. Finally, I said, 'Okay, I'll tell you the truth. I won $337 million!'"
Lawson also matched a few more numbers, giving him $4 extra in prize money.
Lawson said he doesn't plan to stay in Lapeer.
This is the third largest jackpot in Powerball history.

Gifted trombonist and violinist Lewis Kahn has a dream CV, which includes membership in Orchestra Harlow, the Fania All Stars and the Tito Puente orchestra. During the last five decades he has clocked-up a prodigious quantity of recording sessions and live performances, including dates with Eddie Palmieri, Pupi Legarreta, Willie Colón, Mon Rivera, Dizzy Gillespie, Machito, Rubén Blades, Celia Cruz, Santiago Ceron, Charanga America, Héctor Lavoe, Charlie Palmieri, David Byrne, Marc Anthony, Pucho & his Latin Soul Brothers, Kirsty MacColl and many others. Association with stellar names often creates sizeable egos and a habit of name-dropping, but not in Lewis's case. He is reticent by nature, so it took some perseverance on John Child's part to jog his memory and encourage Lewis to speak about his career. However, the effort paid off and the resulting interview reveals a fascinating and deeply spiritual individual. The piece is followed by a selected discography of the albums on which Lewis has performed.

To the Editor:
What would Jesus do with churches' surplus money? Engrave "In God We Trust" over every Courthouse doorway, or give it to the poor? I think He would do the later.
If these 54 churches raising money for the engravings on the Anderson County Courthouse don't know how to help the poor, may I suggest they find local food pantries — many of which are associated with churches — that would gladly take their money. Additionally, any number of nonprofit agencies in the county that help children, older people, people with disabilities, the mentally ill, the uninsured, and the poor would gladly take their money to do good works and help them fulfill their mission.
The need will only get worse when and if federal sequestration cuts happen, and a thousand workers will be laid off at the DOE plants and other businesses that receive federal funds for the valuable work they do.
Wouldn't it be a better way to show the county that they believe in God by following His basic, core teaching of loving thy neighbor as thy self and helping those in need, rather than to emblazon His name on the Courthouse entrances?

Better-Than-Crack Brownies (Treats For Co-Irkers)
I'm not even going to post the recipe here because I flagrantly and unabashedly stole it from Jessica at How Sweet It Is. I changed nothing in the recipe and the only additional thing you need to know is that you can pass any drug test after eating these.
You may be able to practice some self restraint but I knew IMMEDIATELY that my will power was non existent, so I'll be shuffling these goodies off to work with hubby tomorrow. They can decide if they belong in a crack house or not.
Thanks Jessica for sharing such a great recipe!

This is what happens when a brownie, a Reese's peanut butter cup, and a rice crispy treat get together for sweet monkey love. It's a ménage à trois of epic and sublime proportions.
Seriously, this makes it in the Coirkers top 5. Which when you look over the divine desserts with which we have been graced should tell anyone reading this to stop reading and start baking.
And make sure to share - it may make you as beloved as our own Mags.

Police: 2 Shot at a Tallahassee Walmart Over Parking Space
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 8:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 8:38 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. | Authorities believe a disagreement over a parking space led to two people being shot and wounded outside a Walmart in Tallahassee, Fla.
Police say officers responded to the shooting shortly after noon on Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year. A man and a woman — discovered at the store's outdoor garden center — were taken to a nearby hospital with wounds that were not considered life-threatening. They were expected to make a full recovery.
No arrests were immediately made, but police were searching for a dark green Toyota Camry in connection with the case.

In my rather depressing column Sunday about the state of the economy, I broach a topic I've been thinking about for awhile, but the public conversation has yet to reach: How do we adapt to a growing low-wage workforce?
It�s beginning to look like the golden age of the American middle class, from the end of World War II to the �80s, when income inequality began to grow, was more the exception than the rule. The question we�ve barely begun to think about is what do we do about it? How do we create a sustainable society in which there are fewer jobs, at lower pay, with limited economic opportunity?
The answer I keep coming back to is that government must bridge the gap between what employers can pay and what it takes to support families.For generations, conservatives have been portraying recipients of government help as idle, lazy, undeserving and. The fact is, major government programs mostly support the working poor and those too old, too young, or too disabled to work.Government programs are, in effect, indirect subsidies to low-wage businesses.� Construction companies can hold on to their seasonal workforce because unemployment insurance pays them in winter.� Workers and Walmart and McDonald�s survive on low wages and no benefits with help from food stamps and government health programs. Workers who aren't paid enough to afford a car can take public transportation to their jobs.As America evolves into a nation of low-wage workers, we can either make companies pay more � raise the minimum wage dramatically, require employers to provide benefits for health care and retirement � or we can keep employers� labor costs low by strengthening the safety net. Let the government provide health care for all, affordable higher education for those with potential, a more generous Social Security program to make up for the withering away of the private sector pension system.Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress want to go in the opposite direction. Post-Obama Democrats need to get beyond a rear-guard action to save New Deal programs and find new ways to help Americans survive on the low-wage work millions of them will be stuck with.This debate may be part of a series: #post-Obama-Agenda.

16th Grand Slam title!
Roger showed a terrifc display against Andy Murray today, capturing his 4th Australian Open and 16th grand slam title 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(11).
"I'm over the moon at winning again. I think I played some of my best tennis again of my life these last two weeks," Roger said during the award ceremony. "So this obviously a very special moment sharing this with you guys. You get the best out of me."
Roger needed just two hours and 41 minutes to join Andre Agassi as the only man to capture four titles at the Australian Open (Agassi was also the last father to win a grand slam title - in Melbourne 2003). With a total of 16 grand slam titles, Roger is now two clear of Pete Sampras on the all-time grand-slam leaderboard. He will clearly remain on the number one spot for quite a few weeks to come!
It was clear right from the start that today's match would turn out a hard fight. Roger scored an early break, but had to accept his opponent breaking straight back. It was a tight moment from there, but Roger grabbed a decisive second break in the eighth game with a forehand winner before comfortably serving out the first set. The second set was clearly in Roger's hand, never giving away the lead he secured with a break. When Roger's intensity dropped slightly in the third set, Murray looked on the way of coming back. The Scotsman did not face a break point until he was serving to take the match into a fourth set, when Roger finally hit back with a break. Murray squandered five set points in the tension-filled breaker, and, opportunities lost for the Scot, Roger finally finished his tiring foe off on his third match point when the fifth seed netted a backhand.

Kashkari Launches (Very) Broad Attack on Jerry Brown's Record
Republican Neel Kashkari is wasting no time attacking the man he hopes to unseat as California governor, Democrat Jerry Brown.
The 40-year-old Mr. Kashari went on the offensive Wednesday, a day after winning the Republican nomination to challenge Mr. Brown, 76, in November.
"Jerry Brown's legacy is the destruction of the middle class of California," Mr. Kashkari told reporters at the Port Theater in Corona Del Mar, Calif., where he celebrated his second-place finish in California's open primary election Tuesday.
But in his critique of Mr. Brown's impact on the state, Mr. Kashkari included economic data from several decades when the incumbent wasn't governor. According to Mr. Kashkari, California went from having a well-educated work force in 1980, when Mr. Brown was last in office, to close to last. It went from having an average unemployment rate in 1980, to one of the worst in the country. And the state went from having an average poverty rate to one of the highest, he said.

"Gov. Brown, we are going to make you answer for our lack of jobs. Gov. Brown, we are going to make you answer for our failing schools," Mr. Kashkari said. "And Gov. Brown, we are going to make you answer for our record poverty."
Asked why Mr. Kashkari included data from decades when Mr. Brown was not governor, a spokeswoman for the campaign, Jessica Ng, said the period was fair game because of Mr. Brown's prominence in the state during that time.
"Nobody has had an impact on the state like Gov. Jerry Brown, whether it is in the governor's office, in the attorney general's office or as mayor," Ms. Ng said. "He is running on a legacy; he is running for re-election on his experience."
Mr. Brown previously served two terms ending on a mixed note in 1982. After leaving the governorship Mr. Brown traveled, studied Buddhism in Japan, served as host of a call-in radio show and rebuilt his political career as mayor of Oakland and then state attorney general.

Edward Leamer, an economist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that a more appropriate gauge of Mr. Brown would have focused on his more recent tenure as governor, during which he has helped turn a record deficit into a budget surplus.
"He arrived on the scene with the state government in a desperate situation," Mr. Leamer said. "As a result, Sacramento had to figure out a way to back out of the promises, or to raise taxes. Gov. Brown honestly recognized that difficult choice, and he has really done some of both."
The Brown campaign dismissed Mr. Kashkari's comments.
"Any ambitious opposition candidate can go through elaborate statistical contortions to try and create something to be critical of," said Dan Newman, a spokesman for Mr. Brown. "But holding the governor accountable for everything that happened since Jimmy Carter was president?"
Asked to provide data to clarify his comments, Mr. Kashkari's campaign provided these data points:
– Census data showed 73.5% of Californians aged 25 or over had at least a high school diploma in 1980, placing California 11th out of 50 states plus Washington, D.C., while in 2009, California ranked 49th in that category, with 80.6% of Californians older than 25 having a high school diploma.
– Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed a seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 7.1% in December 1980, giving California the 27th highest rate out of 50 states and Washington, D.C., compared with an April 2014 rate of 7.8%, which gave California the fourth highest unemployment rate.
– Census data showed California had a poverty rate of 11.4% in 1979, which gave the state the 27th highest poverty rate among the 50 states and D.C. The campaign compared that to a separate measure of poverty, cited in an article in the Los Angeles Times, showing California had the highest poverty rate in the nation, 23.8%, during 2010 to 2012, when the alternative measure, the supplemental poverty rate, is used. But the campaign didn't adjust the 1979 poverty data, adding in the cost of housing, so as to make an apples-to-apples comparison. "On poverty, the Census Bureau did not report figures that adjusted for the cost of living back in 1979," Ms. Ng said.

I'm so tickled I could just crap. I can't wait to try other recipes. A bread-baking monster has been created.
The verdict is in. The family voted the bread as my "best ever." Now, if you've been following along, you know that heretofore, the competition has been scarce in that area. However, I've finally found a keeper bread recipe and I'm posting it here as my new (first) go-to bread recipe.
The author of this recipe is Crystal Miller. I didn't change any of the ingredients or divert from method. I just needed to make note of my own personal touches.
2 cups warm water (I used hot tap water, 100-110 degrees)
1 T yeast
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup oil
2 t. salt
1/3 cup gluten
5 to 7 cups whole wheat flour (I ended up using a little over 5 cups. I whisked 3 cups of flour with the wheat gluten as the initial flour, then kept the rest in a separate bowl to add in as needed.)
In a stand up type mixer such as a Kitchen Aid combine water, yeast and honey. Let this sit for about 5 minutes or until the yeast is nice and bubbly. Add oil, salt, gluten flour and 3 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour. Knead this with your mixer and continue to add more flour until the dough does not stick to the side of the bowl and does not feel sticky to the touch. Knead for another 7 to 8 minutes.
When dough has finished kneading let it sit in the mixer bowl and rise until doubled in volume. (my notes: I preheated the oven to 100 degrees then turned it off. Covered mixing bowl with plastic wrap and put it into oven...let rise for almost an hour.) This usually takes about 45 minutes. When it has finished rising, turn on your mixer and knead again for a few more minutes to get all the air bubbles out. Remove from mixer and divide the dough into 2 pieces and shape into loaves and put in bread pans that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Let the loaves rise until they are about 1 inch above the rim of the bread pan. (my notes: covered loaves with linen towel and put back into oven to rise for almost an hour) Bake at 350 for approx. 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Recently, I was running errands at school during my free class period when I bumped -- quite literally -- into a man in combat boots and fatigues. When I looked up, his rigid posture, outfit and haircut screamed military. I thanked him for his service, a response ingrained in me by my parents.
He smiled at me and said, "Thank you for your support." I then asked if there was anything I could do for him, and he asked for help finding the main office. I decided to walk him there.
We chatted along the way, and I learned a few important things about the military man with a kind smile: His name is James, he is 28, on leave from his tour of duty, and he's home visiting his wife and baby daughter.
I was shocked when I found out that his daughter had been born six months ago, and he had just held her for the first time a few days ago. He grinned and told me that while this is something he signed up for when he joined the military, "This probably will be my favorite Christmas ever." I instantly got emotional. The words "Thank you for your service" suddenly meant a lot more.
This experience demonstrated how Christmas has a special significance to numerous people of different ages and backgrounds. This includes military personnel, who know all too well what it is like to be away from home for so long -- especially during the holidays.
My chance encounter reminded me of the military men and women who rarely connect with the civilian world. These wars being fought have become the white noise of society. James reminded me about the importance of family, and how the holidays especially are a time to show our gratitude to service members.
James' story -- similar to many others in the military -- prompted me to do something especially meaningful this holiday season. My friends and I have written more than 150 letters collectively to military members who will be spending their Christmas overseas. We're part of the "Letters to Soldiers" club at my high school, which was started to give those in far-off lands some small connection to home. While I was a member of this club before meeting James, the insight I gained from our meeting made me jump into the club activities wholeheartedly, as opposed to my lukewarm involvement before. It's especially important during Christmas, a time most people get to spend at home with their families, that we as a country show our support.
In just a few minutes, James inspired me to take action and convey my thanks in a tangible way. I certainly could not make the sacrifices that some service members do.
To our military men and women: Thank you for your service, and thank you to the families who sacrifice so much.

February was warmer along the coast, where it has been drier than normal since January. The snowpack is at or just below average around Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, but well below average (by 50-85 percent)
farther to the north.
If the weather persists, coastal farmers may start their spring planting early. While water levels remain good at the moment, the low-to-average snowpack means summer flows will likely be low in some areas. However, spring habitat conditions are still projected to be good. Large flocks of wintering waterfowl — including snow geese, American wigeons, trumpeter swans, mallards, pintails and many others — can still be found around the Fraser RiverDelta and East Coast of Vancouver Island.
The past two months have been very dry through most of the Interior. While this leaves snow levels below average in the northern Interior, snowpacks are still close to average in the south and southeast. In the southern Interior, the weather has been relatively mild, with lots of recent melting.
In the Peace region, precipitation has been about normal when considered over the entire winter. However, most of the snow fell between October and December, and there has been very little snow since then. Furthermore, the January and February weather was mild and windy, leading to melting and sublimation of ground snow. In many areas, there is less than a foot of crusty snow heading into spring. The prognosis for spring runoff is fair at best.

Based largely on first-hand accounts from veterans of that era, it is an up-close, detailed report from the front lines of "a guerrilla war at sea." Many of the dramatic incidents of this period are told in depth, with new information and details never before seen in print.

Kent Despite threat of Sandy, Pumpkin Run well attended
The Kent Chamber of Commerce thanks the multitudes of people who came together to make the 36th Kent Pumpkin Run a rousing success. Despite the pending arrival of Hurricane Sandy, more than 100 youngsters participated in the Kids Fun Run, while more than 500 adults ran the five-mile course. There were runners from nine states, and even Great Britain, ranging in age from 6 to 84! These runners also were very generous, donating more than $200 to the Kent Food Bank with their online registrations, along with many boxes of nonperishable food.
Volunteers helped with everything from the starting cannon to painting the finish line. Getting everyone registered and handing out race bibs fell to Darlene Brady, Sharon Cipolla, Bobbie Davis, Jeanne McRoberts, Marge Smith, Lyn Stirnweiss, Bernadette Ellegard and myself, while Maureen Smith greeted and directed the racers. Cindy Dunleavy provided direction at the four-mile split.

Willis Tower Said to Seek Loan Modification
America's tallest tower wants a loan modification.
The venture that owns the 110-story Willis Tower is facing a potential default on the building's $774 million in debt and is seeking to renegotiate the terms of its loan with creditors, ratings agency Fitch Ratings said Monday.
A spokesman for the Willis Tower, formerly named the Sears Tower, had no immediate comment.
Fitch raised a warning flag about the building's debt in a notice sent to bond market investors. About $500 million of the building's debt was sold to investors as commercial mortgage backed securities.
According to the Fitch report, the responsibility for servicing the CMBS debt has been transferred to a so-called "special servicer." Special servicers are only called in when there's concern about a possible default.
In its report, Fitch points out that the Willis Tower is facing high costs needed to lure tenants to the building. Citing a loan servicing report, Fitch said the owners anticipate "significant capital costs going forward in order to secure additional new leases."
Built in 1973 to serve as the headquarters of Sears, the Willis Tower is an enormous building with more than 3.7 million square feet of office space. It will be eclipsed as the tallest completed building in the U.S. when One World Trade Center in Manhattan opens later this year.
The Willis Tower owners include Illinois-based American Landmark Properties and the New York-based Chetrit Group and Moinian Group. The group purchased the building in 2004 for $840 million and refinanced it in 2007.
The venture has improved occupancy in the building recently, bringing it up to 84% by March from 75% at the end of 2012, according to Fitch.
But the owners have been spending heavily to bring in new tenants and upgrade the building. Last year, they spent $24 million on tenant improvements and capital expenses, cutting into its operating income of $73 million, according to loan research service Trepp LLC.
More tenants—and expenses— are coming. In April, law firm Seyfarth Shaw said it was moving to the Willis Tower, leasing 200,000 square feet.

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.

The Oakland A's have asked to keep playing their home games in the Coliseum for the next five years, The Los Angeles Times reported Friday.
A's owner Lew Wolff reportedly sent a letter to the Coliseum Authority requesting to stay in the Coliseum for at least the next five years. Wolff and the A's, however, will continue their push for approval to move the team to San Jose. However, the A's lease with the Coliseum expires after the 2013 season and there have been rumblings that the City of Oakland may not be agreeable to extending the team's stay while Wolff pursues a home in San Jose.
The A's agreement to stay in Oakland means that the earliest the A's could move to the South Bay would be 2018.
Wolff's letter said he would keep the A's in Oakland for at least five years "regardless of the outcome of our efforts to obtain a new facility in the City of San Jose."
According to the Los Angeles Times, Wolff's letter also said: "The A's organization certainly prefers to remain in Oakland for the next five years rather than being forced into looking elsewhere for a temporary home venue. If possible, we should retain the 130 full-time jobs and the almost 800 union jobs that encompass a full baseball season, the fun of the A's, and Major League Baseball in Oakland for five more years.
"I believe the A's have a great deal to contribute to the area for the next five years, and even thereafter."
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig appointed a blue ribbon panel to determine the best stadium option for the A's in the Bay Area. It's been nearly four years since the panel was formed.

The Structural Informatics Unit (SIU) seeks to elucidate the molecular architecture of viral proteins and the roles that factors, such as pH environment and protein modification and variation, play in modulating structure-function, epitope display, and viral pathogenesis. The research program exploits 3D electron microscopy of viruses and protein complexes with antibodies to obtain structural information. Structural analyses are supported by other structural, biochemical, and immunological analyses in order to understand antigen-antibody interactions and aid in structure-assisted immunogen design for infectious diseases. Our research program integrates structural and biochemical studies with bioinformatics to facilitate a collaborative synergy between these disciplines in the context of the focus of structure-function studies of viruses and viral proteins. A major focus is on the antigenicity, structure, and function of respiratory viruses, such as influenza.

The family is gathered around the Thanksgiving table, reminiscing about past events. You begin recalling the time you fell from the tree in the apple orchard and your sister ran to get your father, when suddenly your sister interjects. "I didn't go get Dad; Johnny did!" You are shocked. You were so certain it happened the way you remembered it. This presents a dilemma if you are planning on penning a memoir. Your memory of events might be faulty. As Mark Twain said, "It isn't so astonishing, the number of things that I can remember, as the number of things I can remember that aren't so."
Throughout family histories, there are so-called "tall tales." Passed on from generation to generation, these tales become larger and more convoluted until the truth is so far stretched that no one can recall what really happened. In current popular literature sensationalism seems to be the norm. The crazier the story, the bigger the bestseller - especially if you are a celebrity. It was James Frey's memoir, "A Million Little Pieces," that sparked a firestorm among literary scholars, addressing the ethics of penning so-called "truths." Oprah Winfrey endorsed his memoir and had him as a special guest on her show, but was mortified to find out later that he had fabricated certain key parts of his story to add sensationalism. Frey's publishers reclassified his biography as a work of fiction. This also birthed the genre of creative nonfiction.
A book is classified as creative nonfiction if the writer takes factual happenings based on true events and pieces them together into a fictionalized account. By calling a book creative nonfiction, the writer is exonerated from any proof of facts; after all, it is only fiction. Some liberties can be taken, and scenarios can be fabricated without penalty. In creative nonfiction memoirs, popular writers such as David Sedaris ("Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim") and Dave Eggers ("Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius") are able to recall past childhood events with such impossible scenarios that all credibility is foregone. And yet the reader knows he is being taken for a ride. John Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" is an example of a piece originally considered nonfiction but which possibly needs reclassification as creative nonfiction. Since its publication, "Into Thin Air" has been at the center of controversy surrounding Krakauer's account of events, particularly in regards to questions over responsibility for tragic errors resulting in deaths on the mountain. Anatoli Boukreev, a Russian climbing guide Krakauer depicted as negligent, has openly confronted Krakauer for creative passages.
The dawning of this new genre has produced some amazing works of literature, most recently, "Matterhorn," by decorated Marine Karl Marlantes. The book, set in Vietnam in 1969, fictionally recounts the experiences of Marlantes, who commanded a Marine rifle platoon on a fire support base, with the code name Matterhorn, between Laos and the DMZ. The troops not only engage in deadly warfare against the North Vietnamese Army, but also at one point become prey to a tiger that stalks them relentlessly. Marlantes' real-life perspective and experiences authenticate the situations and create true-to-life terrors.
If you are one of those who used high school history class as a chance to catch up on sleep, you might give some creative nonfiction novels a try. Check them out at your local Summit County library.

HAYWARD -- Archie Cox has no plans to move out of his home, where he has lived since 1968, so when he heard about a growing cooperative support network of seniors aging in place, he set about seeing if there was a way for his neighborhood to be a part of it.
The 88-year-old reached out to his Fairway Park neighborhood association, which helped organize the first meetings. The group has grown to include the larger Eden area, which covers Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and Castro Valley. Eden Village, which is very much in its infancy and still developing, will hold its next meeting Saturday, and anyone interested is welcome to attend.
Village to Village is a network of local membership-based groups that help people stay in their homes as they age by providing services such as transportation and home maintenance. The first "village" began in Boston in 2001; since then, the idea has spread across the nation.
In the Bay Area, villages have started in North Oakland, Foster City, Berkeley's Ashby neighborhood Palo Alto and other communities, Cox said.
"This idea of where we help each other out works," he said. "It's just neighbors helping neighbors. If others can do it, we can, too."
Most villages have a combination of volunteers and paid staff, and seniors pay $400 to $1,500 in yearly dues, said David Korth, Hayward's neighborhood services manager, who is advising Eden Village.
In exchange, members get help with transportation, gardening, shopping and other tasks, he said. In addition, villages create a list of recommended service providers, such as contractors, who have been vetted and often offer discounts.
"I know people who work for me I trust and who I would recommend," Cox said. "We could have a list of people who will do a good job at a reasonable price, and you won't be afraid of letting them into your home."
Another important function villages provide is social activity, said Blair Barnett, one of the early Eden organizers.
"Some people are isolated," he said. "We would provide community activities. And you could arrange to have somebody call you each day to check up on you."
Eden Village is working on a business plan to present to local nonprofit agencies with the hope that one will partner with the group and offer expertise, Korth said. The group also wants more people to join, said member Olive Steward, of Hayward.
"The more people you have, the more volunteers you have," she said. "People fear it's going to be costly, but it's not. It's about seniors staying in their homes."
A survey by the National Council on Aging found that about 90 percent of seniors plan to stay in their homes for the next five to 10 years. Steward said Eden Village is intended to help them accomplish that.
"I have an excellent house cleaner and handyman," she said. "I'm pretty self-sufficient, but I'm hoping to have somebody help me if I need it."

An injury slowed this QMJHLer's development at first, but the Flyers draft pick is eager to learn how to make the step up to the next level.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C.---October's Time To Care Award winner is well known in the North Augusta community. She's a longtime city commissioner and a member of the city's Sports Hall of Fame due to her volunteer work as a coach. But if there's one thing you should know about Pat Carpenter, it's that she loves kids.
And that's where we find her on this sunny afternoon at Hammonds Ferry, coaching a cheerleading squad.
"OK lets go y'all children, y'all just get right in here," she calls out to the little girls in ponytails.
Generations of kids have grown up with Mrs. Pat as their coach. James Johnson's wife had Pat Carpenter as a cheerleading coach, and now his daughter does too.
"You can't say enough about Mrs. Pat," James says. "She's in everything in the community: football, baseball, cheerleading, school, teaching and everything else."
He's not exaggerating. Kim Butler has a daughter on this squad too. And Kim remembers getting a call from Mrs. Pat on Christmas Eve.
"She was organizing bicycles and toys for kids, and there were some last-minute children who had a need, and she spent her Christmas Eve making sure they had surprises Christmas morning," Kim recalls.
Meanwhile, Pat's girls are at full volume.
"We got spirit, yes we do, we got spirit, how 'bout you?"
But in Pat's case, it's a spirit of giving. Her daughter, Fran Risse', says her Mom grew up that way.
"Well, she grew up somewhat poor," Fran says. "She had one teacher, Miss Wiley, who helped her. And she appreciated her so much, and she said when she became an adult, she wanted to do the same thing for kids."
Growing up poor was one thing, but something changed for Pat during a visit to the Connie Maxwell Orphanage in seventh grade. Pat remembers it well.
"When I got there , I just had so much love for those children, even though I was just a child myself," she says.
Eventually she ran for office, and the voters keep sending her back. She can't do anything in North Augusta without running into somebody she knows.
"How y'all doin?" Pat calls to people walking nearby on the Greeneway.
As for the little Steelers practicing their cheers today, they can't vote yet, but they already have a friend in office.
"I'm on city council, and I feel like I represent the whole city, but I represent these young people and children," Pat says.
The cheerleaders are still going strong. "S-C-O-R-E, Score Steelers score!"
And just like any good team player, Pat Carpenter is quick to give credit to her personal coach.
"Well, first of all, my Lord keeps me going. Every morning I get up and I pray 'God give me strength,' 'cause I know a lot of days I put too much on my plate. That's what I tell God: 'I know I don't have a lot of sense, but give me that strength each day.'"
Pat says she only takes one day off, and that's Sunday. But even then she and her husband are busy getting a busload of kids to and from church.
Pat Carpenter has won just about every award there is, including Citizen of the Year twice. We're pleased that she can add the Time to Care Award to the list.
And of course, we want to thank our Time To Care partners who make this award possible: Subway, Troy University and Ashley Furniture. If you want to nominate someone for our Time To Care Award, you can do that right here.

Judith Marie Bosch (née Jacobsgaard)
Judy was a Peace Corps volunteer for several months at the Peace Corps office in Tehran, and with her husband, Marc, had just moved to a new post in Rezaiyeh (Ourmia), Iran. She died in a highway accident near Miyaneh on 29 April 1970. She was a kind friend to all those she met. Judy was personable, always helpful, and never afraid to stand her ground. She is remembered fondly by her family, friends and colleagues.
"I think of her often, I remember her well, places she'd take me, the stories she'd tell."
"Those were her days."
-Marc Bosch
If you are a friend or family member of this volunteer and would like to contribute a picture, a story, or something different, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
