There's been a lot of talk in the off-season about who's not coming back for the Los Gatos High School football team this fall.
Nico Aimonetti, the Outstanding Offensive Lineman in the De Anza Division of the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League, and Kevin Kevorkian, the division's Outstanding Senior, were both lost to graduation, along with a host of first-team all-leaguers.
Even longtime head coach Butch Cattolico has pulled up stakes and moved on to Elk Grove, retiring after a long and distinguished career as a teacher and coach at Los Gatos High.
But as last season fades deep into the shadows of 2012, and as the season opener looms large on the September horizon, it's time to stop talking about who's not coming back for the 2013 campaign and focus in on who is--and who will lead them into battle.
Veteran football coach Mark Krail takes over the Los Gatos program, and three comeback all-leaguers head up a cast of 27 varsity returners for the Wildcats, a list that includes four three-year starters.
Seniors Nick Bawden, Jack Tittle, Bailey McNally and Logan Chapman each return for a third varsity campaign, and junior Joey Wood is back for his second season after winning the De Anza Division's Outstanding Sophomore award a year ago.
Wood (5-foot-11, 215) had a sensational sophomore season, racing for 1,015 yards on 172 carries that included 13 touchdown runs. He also pulled down seven passes for 91 yards and figures to be a major offensive threat for the Wildcats as a junior.
"He's a downhill running back," said Krail of Wood. "His physical style or running is his strength. We're working on him being that one-cut runner because the physical part is what he does so well."
While Wood figures to be running over defenders this season, Bawden (6-foot-3, 220) will be throwing over them.
The senior quarterback, who has verbally committed to San Diego State, is a returning all-league first teamer who completed 99 of 188 passes for 1,636 yards and 12 touchdowns last year.
"Physically, he's the complete package," said Krail of his QB. "He's big and strong and he's worked on his agility and quickness. He makes all the throws, controls the huddle and knows the offense inside and out."
Bawden figures to be making many of those throws to Chapman (6-foot-1, 185), who is back this year after pulling down 20 passes for 332 yards in 2012.
Chapman leads a Gatos receiving corps that Krail considers "a real strength for us, probably our deepest position." Junior Matt Wilcox (5-foot-11, 170) is a varsity returner and joins junior Nick Occhipinti (5-foot-9, 165) and senior Corey Olivet (5-foot-9, 170) as top pass-catching prospects. Seniors Cole Wisecarver (6-foot-2, 185) and Josh Rubnitz (5-foot-10, 165) and junior Austin Stewart (5-foot-8, 145) have also impressed their coach with their receiving skills.
Bawden's back-up at quarterback is a good one in junior Dru Brown (5-foot-11, 180), the league's frosh-soph MVP a year ago.
"He looks really good," said Krail of Brown. "He's the fastest kid on the team and one of the strongest kids on the team."
In addition, senior Trent Bowling returns to take snaps at quarterback.
Joining Wood in the backfield will be senior veteran C.J. Butcher (5-foot-9, 180) as the back-up tailback, with junior Jack Salcido (5-foot-9, 175) also expected to get some carries, and seniors Tittle (6-foot-2, 215), Keegan Kreutzer (5-foot-10, 175) and MacKail Perry (6-foot-1, 195) sharing time at fullback.
Kreutzer "is the best runner of the three," said Krail, "but they all are good blockers and know that blocking is a big part of being a fullback here."
Another key blocker for Los Gatos is the tight end, and Krail believes he has a couple of good ones in senior starter Cody Marshall (6-foot-2, 210) and junior Dylan Plane (5-foot-11, 185).
"Skill-wise, we're pretty good," said Krail. "We can line up with anybody."
The only concern for the Cats offensively is an untested crew in the trenches.
"Our main concern is the offensive line," said Krail. "We have no starters returning, so we have some work to do there."
Senior letterman Andrew Hilliard (6-foot-4, 225) and junior Brendan Ross (6-foot-4, 210) are top candidates at tackle with junior returner Jack Jarnigan (6-foot-1, 215), senior letterman Dane Huesby (6-foot-2, 205) and junior C.J. Hibbits (5-foot-11, 220) the frontrunners at guard. Senior vet Grady Duggan ((6-foot, 230) is the leader at center and has "really assumed a leadership role," said Krail.
Senior returners Mitchell Kirkorian (5-foot-10, 235), Andrew Masek (5-foot-11, 220) and Myles Morrison (5-foot-11, 185) and junior Henry Tuckfield (6-foot, 225) are other hopefuls in the offensive front.
"We're cautiously optimistic," said Krail of the line. "They could gel as a good group. They're all football-smart guys.
"If it works out, we're going to be pretty good on offense," said Krail. "We're very excited about the offense. It's going to look very similar to past years."
As good as the Cats figure to be on offense, Krail is equally impressive with he sees on the defensive side, with Tittle and McNally leading the charge there.
"I'm intrigued by our defense," said Krail. "It seems like we can be very good. We're very athletic.
"We're pretty strong against the run up front, and against pro-style teams we're going to be very solid," he added. "If teams line up and try to pound the ball on us, we're going to be pretty good."
Leading that effort will be McNally (5-foot-10, 185) at noseguard and Tittle at middle linebacker, both of them three-year starters on defense.
"McNally is a very hard worker, and the other kids feed off of that," said Krail.
Tittle moves to inside linebacker after winning all-league first team honors as an outside 'backer last fall.
"We're going to try to limit his fullback play if we can," said Krail of Tittle. "He's a guy we're counting on a lot. He's been good, and he's figuring it out."
Marshall and senior returner Cameron Ackerman (6-foot, 180) are other top linebackers for the Cats. Plane and seniors Chris Gonzalez (5-foot-10, 170), Spencer Mashkoori (5-foot-9, 165) and Chad Cramer (5-foot-10, 170) and juniors John Cruse (5-foot-10, 165) and Nick Stojanovich (5-foot-10, 175) will also see playing time at linebacker.
Hilliard, Jarnigan and Masek are top candidates in the defensive line along with junior Griffin Jordan (5-foot-11, 225) and senior returner Ricky Carroll (6-foot, 195) with senior letterman Marshall Mistry (6-foot-3, 215) joining Ross, Perry, Kreutzer and Huesby at defensive end.
"Our base defense is going to be a 5-3, which is a little different than it's been in the past," said Krail. "Our defense is probably a little more unsettled than the offensive side."
Along that same line, Krail calls the secondary "a work in progress." Wilcox will start at free safety with Butcher and Olivet at the corners. Junior Hunter Impey (5-foot-9, 145) will also get playing time in the secondary and Wisecarver, and junior Mitchell Schwager (6-foot, 170) should see action at safety.
Seniors Ben Bergkamp (5-foot-8, 165), James Detweiler (5-foot-8, 150), Cayce Hopkins (5-foot-11, 170) and Joey Ridgway (5-foot-11, 165) and juniors Aviv Brender (5-foot-9, 155), Evan Warkov (5-foot-10, 170) and Quinn Spiteri (5-foot-9, 165) are also working out in the defensive backfield.
Juniors Jacob Jolley (5-foot-10, 185) and Austin Bohn (6-foot, 185) are each injured and not expected to start the season on the active roster.
Los Gatos will get tested right out the gate when the Wildcats open against powerful Archbishop Mitty on Sept. 6, 7:30 p.m., at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills.
"Mitty will be a tremendous challenge for us," said Krail, who will be assisted this fall by Danny Sullivan, Heath Clark, Joe Farwell, Dale Gustafson, Justin Stenger, Clint McCoy, Mike Jones, Kevin Krail and Jim Polanco. "Word around the area is that they are going to be really good this year. Our hope is that we'll be able to run the ball a little."
A week later Gatos opens its home season against Menlo-Atherton--"a playoff-caliber team, and they're going to be big," said Krail--before visiting defending Central Coast Section Division I champ San Benito.
The three non-league games get the Cats right into the De Anza Division schedule, where Krail expects the top four--Palo Alto, Milpitas, Wilcox and Los Gatos--"to be the top four again."
"Milpitas has athletes everywhere and a lot of returning players, Palo Alto is going to be very good with [all-league quarterback Keller] Chryst back, and I'm hearing a lot about how good Wilcox is," said Krail.
"And Saratoga deserves mention, too," he added. "Tim [Lugo] is doing a great job over there."
Paly, Saratoga, Milpitas and Wilcox all have talented quarterbacks back from last year's teams, but the Los Gatos returner is pretty good, too. And anyway, the Wildcats aren't looking back as the 2013 season gets under way: They're just looking forward and hoping for big things to come.
Gatos frosh-soph
The coaching changes at Los Gatos this fall aren't just limited to the varsity. Andy Holland takes over as the new frosh-soph head coach for the Wildcats, who are coming off of a 9-0-1 season when they won the De Anza Division title with a 5-0 record.
Holland ranks wide receiver Ryan Gault (5-foot-10, 150), linebacker Matt Terbet (6-foot, 205) and quarterback Hunter Bigge (5-foot-10, 170) as top players on the squad this year. All three return from last season's championship team.
Holland, who will be assisted by Chad Purcell, John Lapava, Erik Eastland and Manny Soria this fall, figures that the Cats will contend with Wilcox for the division championship again this year.

Government powers down; blame trading in capital
A National Park Service employee posts a sign reading "Because of the Federal Government SHUTDOWN All National Parks are Closed" on a barricade closing access to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster) by David Espo and Donna CassataAssociated Press Writers WASHINGTON (AP) — First slowed, then stalled by political gridlock, the vast machinery of government clanged into partial shutdown mode on Tuesday and President Barack Obama warned the longer it goes "the more families will be hurt." Republicans said it was his fault, not theirs. Ominously, there were suggestions from leaders in both parties that the shutdown, heading for its second day, could last for weeks and grow to encompass a possible default by the Treasury if Congress fails to raise the nation's debt ceiling. "This is now all together," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill..

As part of the budget deal in 2011, Republicans and Democrats agreed to set up a crisis -- with deep cuts to domestic programs and tax increases for nearly everyone on Dec. 31.
Too many families are in crisis already. And too many more are threatened by proposed solutions.
Among them: cuts to nutrition assistance for our most vulnerable.
Congress has put deep cuts to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program -- commonly known as "food stamps" -- on the table again and again. It's easy to see why: Children don't vote.
Some people are surprised to learn that children are more vulnerable to hunger than anyone else. It's no surprise to us. In Alameda County, more than 70 percent of households receiving SNAP benefits are home to a child. Nearly 90 percent of SNAP households are home to a child, a senior or someone with a disability.
And SNAP does more than any food bank like ours can do alone.
A prolonged recession and cuts to our safety net have redefined our missions beyond emergency food. Too many households -- many of them working families -- rely on soup kitchens and food pantries month after month because after rent and utilities, transportation to and from work and some warm clothes for their children, there simply isn't enough left over to put a healthy meal on the table.
The rapid growth of SNAP rolls tell us that there is a problem. But the problem of poverty is bigger than anything private nonprofits can solve alone. Cuts to SNAP won't make hunger go away. And our food banks, loved though they are, do not have the magic to fill another gap.
This is not about "cost savings" or "fiscal responsibility."
This affects real people. A construction worker, whose hours were cut down to nothing, facing a rent bill and a hungry family. A child too young to know her parents skip meals so she can eat. A senior who stretches a single can of soup for three days to afford a doctor's visit.
This should be about ensuring that our neighbors -- our friends, our family, our co-workers -- have the food they need to survive and thrive. Our community simply can't afford to let our children, seniors and working families go hungry in the name of deficit reduction.
Surely a country as great as ours can agree: Food should not be a luxury.
Let's remind the people we elected of that.
Suzan Bateson is executive director of the Alameda County Community Food Bank. For more information, visit www.accfb.org.

The unexpected death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman won't affect the release of two planned "Hunger Games" movies, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Hoffman's work on "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" was substantially complete and he had seven remaining days to shoot on "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2," said the person, who asked not to be named because of the subject's sensitivity.
The actor, who won an Academy Award for portraying writer Truman Capote, was found dead Sunday in his Manhattan apartment at the age of 46. He played the pivotal character of Plutarch Heavensbee, the head gamemaker in Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.'s "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," last year, and was cast in the same role for the third and fourth films in the series, based on the books by Suzanne Collins.
"Philip Seymour Hoffman was a singular talent and one of the most gifted actors of our generation," the studio, based in Santa Monica, California, said in a statement. "We're very fortunate that he graced our 'Hunger Games' family. Losing him in his prime is a tragedy, and we send our deepest condolences to Philip's family."
The two "Mockingjay" movies are based on the third of Collins's books. Filming began back-to-back in September, according to IMDB.com. Part 1 is scheduled for release on Nov. 21, with Part 2 coming out a year later, on Nov. 20, 2015.
The first two "Hunger Games" films generated $829.5 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales, and $1.55 billion worldwide, according to researcher Box Office Mojo.
Hoffman was found dead in the bathroom of his apartment in the West Village with a needle in his arm, according to law enforcement officials, who declined to be identified because the investigation is in its early stages.

DOE Guarantees $189 Million in Loans for Wind Power, Advanced Windows
DOE offered on March 5 two conditional loan guarantees for clean energy projects: a $117 million loan guarantee using American Recovery and Reinvestment funds for First Wind to finance the construction and start-up of an innovative 30-megawatt (MW) wind energy project in Kahuku, Hawaii, and a $72 million conditional loan guarantee to Sage Electrochromics, Inc. for an addition to its factory in Faribault, Minnesota, that manufactures electronically tintable windows. The awards mark the seventh and eighth conditional commitment issued by DOE's Loan Guarantee Program since March, 2009. See the DOE fact sheet on its loan programs.
The proposed Kahuku Wind project, located on the island of Oahu, involves installing a dozen 2.5-MW wind turbine generators along with a battery energy storage system for electricity load stability. Developed by Xtreme Power, the battery storage system will be able to provide up to 10 MW of power for at least an hour during periods of low wind speeds. The project is expected to employ 200 during its construction and will create 6 to 10 full-time jobs, and electricity generated by the project will be sold to the Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. The State of Hawaii, which now relies on imported oil for about 90% of its energy, has set a goal of meeting 70% of its energy needs with clean energy by 2030, and to meet that goal, the state teamed up with DOE to form the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. The Oahu wind farm is one of many actions needed to fulfill the energy goals of that initiative. See the press releases from DOE and First Wind, as well as the Web site for the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative.
The Sage Electrochromics loan guarantee will help finance the construction and operation of a 250,000-square-foot, high-volume manufacturing facility to produce SageGlass, an energy-saving window technology for commercial use. Sage previously received a DOE Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit of $31 million for the new facility, which will be built next to Sage's existing production facility, enabling the company to expand production and lower costs. The new plant will employ 220 people during its construction. Sage makes "electrochromic" window glass, which changes from clear to tinted when a voltage is applied to it. The product allows natural light in while controlling unwanted solar heat, and can be used in building windows, skylights, and curtain walls. The technology consists of five ultra-thin layers of transparent metal oxides deposited onto sheets of glass. See the press releases from DOE and Sage, plus a description of the technology on the Sage Web site.
In a report issued in April 2008, DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) found that electrochromic windows can reduce peak cooling loads by 19%-26%, while reducing lighting energy use by 48%-67%. Test subjects also strongly preferred the electrochromic window for reduced glare and reduced reflections on computer monitors, despite the fact that they allowed in plenty of daylight. A preliminary report issued by DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in December 2009 used building energy models to predict that electrochromic windows would produce energy savings of 9.1% and a 13.5% reduction in electricity demand in a home otherwise built to code. NREL has been working with electrochromic windows since the 1980s, and LBNL has been working with the technology for the past 20 years. NREL will also employ both electrochromic windows and thermochromic windows—windows that darken in response to the sun's heat—at its new Research Support Facility (RSF), a high-efficiency office building scheduled to open this summer. See the reports from LBNL (PDF 3.0 MB) and NREL (PDF 905 KB), plus the NREL feature stories on its work on electrochromic windows and their use in the RSF. Download Adobe Reader.

Landscape design tip
Flowers need sun - more sun more flowers, less sun less flowers. It really is that simple. A location with full sun all day will provide the most colorful flower display. There are few plants that bloom with significant flower displays in the shade. For years we have relied on colorful foliage of hostas (perennial) and coleus (annual) to provide color in shady areas. I have never met anyone who has purchased a hosta or coleus for the beauty of their flowers.There is a major problem with growing flowers in all day full sun here on the prairie. The environment in full sun is very harsh. The problem is not the temperature of the sun. It does not change. The sun is no hotter in the afternoon than it is in the morning, but the environment in full sun is harsher in the afternoon than in the morning. The air temperature is hotter. The relative humidity is lower (dryer) and the drying wind blows stronger. It is hotter, drier and windier. The challenge in growing beautiful flowers here on the prairie is then to locate and plant the flower beds in a way that will make the environment less harsh. The best way to accomplish this is with a windbreak. If we slow or stop the wind we can reduce its drying effects, slow the rate of evaporation from the surface of the leaves, and raise the relative humidity in the microclimate around the plants. The environment around our flowers will be much less harsh.We do not need to plant giant walls of evergreens to provide a windbreak. Our annuals will be dead when winter comes so deciduous plants will work just fine. Remember our dominant winds in the summer are from the south, southwest. To protect our flowers we need to plant windbreaks on the south to southwest side of our color spots. The plants used for these "windbreaks" can be anything a little taller than the flowering plants we will plant in front of them. Medium size shrubs, ornamental grasses (annual or perennial), and several taller growing annuals that are heat and drought tolerant work well as windbreaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is My Home Energy Report?
Duke Energy developed this report to help you understand and conserve your energy usage. The report compares your homes energy efficiency over time, and to similar homes in your area.
Why is Duke Energy trying to help me save energy?
When customers reduce their energy needs, it reduces the cost to provide energy and the need to build more power plants in the future, which actually lowers bills for everyone. So saving energy makes business sense and common sense.
How often will I receive the report?
Your report will be delivered through the mail on a regular basis. Keep an eye out for your next My Home Energy Report so you can track your progress.
What is a kilowatt-hour?
Gasoline is sold in gallons. Electricity is sold in kilowatt-hours (kWh). One kWh will power a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours (100 watts x 10 hours = 1,000 watt-hours = 1 kWh).
How do you choose the homes used in my comparison?
Duke Energy compiled energy usage information, customer-supplied data and public information (location, size, home age and heating source) on nearby, similar homes to develop the comparison. However, public information sometimes becomes outdated as homes are renovated or situations change. If the information on your report appears to be incorrect, please provide us the correct information by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 888.873.3853, so we can update it on future reports.
Is my home energy use being shared with other customers?
No. All of the comparison information is aggregated to create your report. Your specific information and home characteristics are not shared with others.
Whose home qualifies as the Efficient Home? Are these real people and homes?
Yes, these are real homes. For this report, we use a scale of 1 to 100 to rank all of the homes that are similar to yours. The Average Home represents the ones in the middle of the pack, performing at the 50-percent mark. The Energy Efficient Home represents homes that fall at the 25-percent mark, which means that 25 percent of the homes in your comparison consume this amount or less energy.
How do my most efficient neighbors manage to use so much less energy than me?
They are likely taking a variety of savings-actions, like: adjusting or programming their thermostats to manage heating and cooling costs; turning off lights and home electronics when not in use; running only full laundry and dishwasher loads; and installing more efficient heating/air-conditioning systems or water heater. You can find out more ways to save at www.duke-energy.com.
I have gas heating. Does this report compare energy usage for both electricity and gas?
No, the report only accounts for a homes electricity use, so the costs for gas are not included. However, you are only being compared to homes that are like yours, so we do not compare an all-electric home to a gas-heated home.
What if I have more questions, want to correct my home data or want to stop receiving this report?
Please email questions, data corrections or requests to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 888.873.3853.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team hosted its annual scout day on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at Chapman Field. Eighteen teams sent their professional scouts to get a closer look at the Islanders' draft-eligible players and future prospects.
The team started the day with defensive drills – an infield/outfield session and throws by the team's catchers. The Islanders followed that by running the 60-yard dash, where the Islanders had six players run better than a 6.7. Several hitters then took a round of batting practice and the Islanders concluded the day with a brief scrimmage, giving the scouts the opportunity to see eight members of the Islanders pitching staff.

Closure of St. Joseph's set
January 13, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Camden Clark Medical Center has developed a time schedule for the closure of the St. Joseph's Campu....
I can tell you right now, the minute that CCMH is the only hospital left in the area the mortality rate will increase significantly.*****it up, St. Joseph's hospital (back when the Sister's owned it) was 100x the hospital Camden ever thought about being. And it still would be had CCMC not shut everything down. Both ER's are usually full and beds used to be full at both locations, there is tons of empty beds at St. Joseph's for patients, but no, Camden doesn't like to admit people there. St. Joe's was one of the top 100 hospitals in the US in 2000, how do you shake a stick at that Camden?

Several comments have been deleted from this discussion...including my own mentioning the 4.74% rate hike approved for cc. Why? I find it interesting that the P'burg News feels it can randomly delete posts. It appears that those deleted are the ones that favored St. Joseph's. Unbiased? I think not.

It's been many years (30) since I was a patient at Camden Clark. At that time, I received good care but I was only there 3 days. I do not and will not visit the ER, I go to my doctor even if I have to wait for an appointmment. Many folks here are saying CC Hosp lacks quality care, what's going on? I have a pending admission for surgery and I expect quality care. Can you explain..I need truth?

You know, I was an emergency employee at CCMH and It's gotten worse since WV System. There are good Docs and Staff at both of these campuses. There are enough pt's t have both open and they could have had specialty care divided. Most of you do not know that on a simple Friday night, One of the two ERs are on diversion. Let's get some dr's in here to actually do something, like they should have done years ago. Do you have any idea that there are usually 2 ambulances available because they have to ship everything out? God Forbid we have a major incident.. our EMS are all in Cleveland, Columbus, and Mo-town. And our ER staff are losing good people an cannot handle what they have now.

Of course, the root cause of this is the "Affordable Health Care Act" that is forcing consolidation into one big hospital that employs all the doctors in town. Thank you, Obama.

How does someone that appears to know nothing about healthcare in this town, but knows about Sharp Hospital. I have had the misfortune in transporting patients there to be locked up and not many people know about this place. Just curious.

What is needed in Parkersburg is a new modern hospital, and not keep throwing money away adding poorly designed sections to the old existing hospital. Ft. Boreman would be an ideal location for a new hospital, similar to how they built United Hospital in Clarksburg right off the interstate. It would also spur new development on Ft. Boreman. A city the size of Parkersburg/Vienna, and surrounding locations deserves so much better than what we have.

This area definitely needs more than one hospital to suit its needs, emergency and otherwise. I've required a two surgeries over the years, for which I went to CCMH, but Dr. Rudolph, that extraordinary guy, was practicing then and I knew he could be trusted to provide me with great care. Beyond those surgeries, anything else that my family has needed beyond anything more than a chest xray or simple stitches for a laceration, including the delivery of a high-risk pregnancy, has all taken place in either Charleston or Morgantown. No way would I trust specialized care, surgical care, or most emergency care to CCMH. My doctor seems to agree with me, because I never have an issue getting a referral either.

6 years ago I was in the emergency room of CCMH with massive chest pain. They triaged me, and set me in the waiting room. 3 hours later took me to the back and told me "You are having a panic attack, go home" No blood work,NOTHING!! I went home and 2 hours later was in the back of an ambulance clinging to a paramedic begging him to make the pain go away. I was in the middle of a heart attack. Fast forward to 2013, with a family member in the emergency room of CCMH. The ER was over crowded..people that had been admitted had to wait in the ER because there were no beds. Yep, this is exactly what Parkersburg needs!!! I will be making the trip to Marietta or Charleston for my healthcare needs. The only thing CCMH is concerned about is the all mighty dollar!!! Not the health and welfare of this community. Makes me sick!!

What a bunch of BS! CCMH applied to move the heart surgery once again down to CCMH after they had bought St. Joe and were again denied.The following week, they announce they are closing St. Joe. Many times during the year both hospitals are at full capacity. This means in the future, when CCMH is at full capacity, any patient needing inpatient care will be shipped out of town. Many families can not afford to travel at a minutes notice with a sick family member and pay for lodging and expenses out of town."YOUR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL", what a joke. I understand some of the insurance companies here just recently announced they would not cover out of state hospital visits. Wonder what brought that about? Maybe, competition coming from across the river?

In spite of finally getting their hands on St. Joseph's cardiac unit, Marietta Memorial is truly giving CCMH a run for their life. If healthcare continues to evolve, we'll soon have virtual surgeries at home without needing to leave the premises. Are you all ready for that?

This is nothing more than more misinformation from "King of the hill". We all know that CCMH was not prepared to be the only hospital for this area. Parking for visitors alone is a problem. A multi layer parking garage should have been built. The south towers parking area should be used for a new multi story add-on for the hospital, and the helicopter should not be landing in an area with tall buildings in a downtown area. Land at the airport and shuttle via ambulance would be better or contract for a landing area at Fort Borman Hill. Planing for growth is hard. You must guess how many new people will need services from a 50+ mile radius of the hospital, and that includes areas from Ohio as well. You have two buildings to work with, why be in a hurry to sqeeze everything into one building until it is ready. Emergency department is to small and under staffed and I can't remember when your bed space is full. Every broom closet has been turned into office space. Plan and build

A fund has been established for the family of three North Dakota children slain last month on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
Thirteen-year-old Benjamin Schuster, 10-year-old Julie Schuster, and 6-year-old Luke Schuster were shot to death Nov. 18, along with their 64-year-old grandmother, Martha Johnson, in New Town.
The Forum reports (http://bit.ly/VdCsBY ) that the fund, set up through KodaBank in Minto, is in the name of the children's father, Kevin Schuster.
A New Town man who killed himself in the nearby town of Parshall later the day of the slayings is considered a person of interest in the case.

Indian Justice Conference Kicking Horse Center— Determining new ways of dealing with Indian youths in trouble was the theme of a two day conference on juvenil delinquency held here last Thursday and Friday. Darryl Gray, Study Director for the Montana United Scholarship Service, (USSI), told some 50 delegates at the Manpower Training Center Gym that the need for a responsive correctional system for Indian youths is among the most critical problems facing at least six of the state's reservations at the present time.. Gray said the Black Wolf decision by the Montana State Supreme Court, which removes the authority of district courts to refer Indians to the State's correctional system, "leaves us with nowhere to send Indian kids that need help." The Flathead reservation is the long exception to the Black Wolf decision. The concurrent jurisdictional agreement between the Salish and Kootenai Tribes and the state give juvenile authority to the state's courts. Among those attending the seminar were Bureau of Indian Affairs Billings Area Director James Canan, State Indian Justice Planner Gil Baldwin, Lewis and Clark County District Judge Gordon Bennett, University of Montana Law Professor Jack McDermott, John Thomas, head of the State's Correctional program and Tom Clark, a consultant for USSI. Two proposals to deal with the problem of Indian correctional facilities were discussed at length. A measure proposed by USSI would provide for a joint tribal correctional institute located at one of the central Montana reservations. The institute would be designed to handle Indian youths from all over the state and would be sponsored by all tribes involved. Grey noted that such an in- (Continued on Page 2) Tribal Range Hunt-Right In Courts Thompson Falls—The century-old right of Slaish, Kootenai and Pend'd Orielles Indians to hunt and fish within their native range is again being strained by the State of Montana.

The Fish and Game Department complaint claims Salish, Kootenai, Pend 'd the two men killed a deer on White Pine Creek between Thompson Falls and the Idaho state border on Aug. 24. A $300 bond was posted for Stasso and Lefthand by the (Continued on Page 10) Orielles Tribes AR-KOOSTA Volume 2.

In a five to four vote, the council reversed its decision to hold shares belonging to children under 18 in Bureau of Indian Affairs Trust. The motion to pay minor's checks to parents was mady by Councilman Fred Witworth, Arlee and passed with the votes of Councilmen John Malatare, Arlee, E. W. Morigeau, Poison, Tom "Bearhead" Swaney, St. Ignatius and Pat Lefthand, Elmo. WhitWorth and Lefthand. had been absent at the August 18 meeting when a four to three vote put the children's money into trust. Reservation BIA Superintendent Harold Roberson and Billings area Director James Canan both told the council that they would not approve the distribution policy as it now stands. Roberson reiterated his stand on paying parents the children's shares saying it is the council's and the bureau's responsibility to safeguard the children's money. He said he could not approve any council measure which did not hold back minor's checks in trust accounts and pointed out that the tribe and the bureau could be held accountable for the expenditure of childrens money. He also cited the effect this money could have on eligibility to public assistance and education grants. Councilman Swaney noted, however, that the Bureau is not reluctant to pay parents quarterly or trust account shares of children's money—just large payments like the land settlement monies and the Montana Power checks. Swaney called this dual policy inconsistent and demanded to know why the bureau only trusts Indian parents with "chicken feed payments." Canan told the council that he could not possibly approve the 100 percent payout because it did not conform to the 1964 council (Continued on Page 2) Tribes Plan To Takeover Education, Employment Dixon—The door was opened to the tribal takeover of Bureau of Indian Affairs offices of employment and education last Friday at the Tribal Council Meeting. The action would place the positions of Employment Assistance Officer and Education Specialist directly under tribal administration. Both offices are currently under Flathead Agency BIA control The measure, offered by Councilman Tom "Bearhead" Swaney, St. Ignatius, would place the tribe under contract with the BIA to perform these two functions. Swaney added in his motion to negotiate for the contract a sitpulation that the BIA budget for the maintainence of these offices is included. The measure also provides for the return of the offices to the BIA if "the arrangement doesn't seem 1 to be working out". (Continued on Page 2)

MolBio Seminar Series

The Population and Evolutionary Dynamics of Adaptive Immunity in Bacteria: CRISPR and CAS are Not Just the Tools of Capitalist Molecular Biologists.
Arguable, surely to those who work on it, the demonstration that the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) regions and their associated sequences (Cas) that abound in the genomes of the majority of Archaea and nearly half the Bacteria can serve as an adaptive immune system has been the single most important new finding in Microbiology and Molecular Biology this millennium. By incorporating 30 or so base pairs of the infecting DNA into regions between these palindromic repeats, when subsequently infected by DNA with sequences identical to that of the incorporated "spacers", through a process mediated by small RNAs, CRISP-Cas encoding bacteria and archaea abort the infection. When these infectious DNAs are those of necessarily lethal (lytic) bacterial viruses the advantages of CRISPR-Cas mediated immunity are straightforward and easily demonstrated experimentally as well as theoretical, albeit more kinky than anticipated. But not all infectious DNAs are deleterious; some like plasmids and temperate bacteriophages may bear genes, such as those conferring resistance that in the presence of antibiotics that can be very much to the advantage of recipient bacteria. In this talk I will present the results of the mathematical and computer simulation modeling and population and evolutionary dynamic and experiments we have been doing to explore the upside of CRISPR-Cas immunity, protection against infections against lethal infections with lytic and temperate phage, and the downside of this immune system, preventing the acquisition of plasmids and temperate phage bearing beneficial genes. I will consider the nature of and factors limiting the CRISPR-Cas mediated Lamarckian - Darwinian arms races between bacteria and phage, and present a hypothesis to account for the extraordinary diversity in the existence, number and function of CRISPR-Cas systems within and between species of bacteria and archaea.

I love my Z Nukes, but they are straight stable. A Nuke SS is too flippy. I'm looking for a disc that with a large amount of snap, 10' high, will hold a tight S and not pan out very far.
I can certainly tell the difference between a speed 13 and 11 with my forehand, but the difference in distance isn't too large, maybe 50'. I am definitely looking for speed 12+ for a tight S line that is thrown on just a slight hyzer. This shot is primarily for around 450+ for distance.
Any input would be great, discs I have already thrown, and am looking for something other than them, are:
Champ/Star Destroyer
C/S PD2 (S was wicked)
Legacy Cannon (haven't thrown it enough, so still a maybe)
Legacy Rampage (too stable)
Havoc (unpredictable)
Halo (not enough rim depth)
Ape(inc Blizz)- dumps out too hard
Star/Champ Boss- too stable
Force- too slow
King- garbage
Quasar- too stable for this shot

The Voice of American Aerospace and Defense.
The contributions the Export Import Bank of the United States (also known as Ex-Im Bank) makes to the U.S. economy are indispensable. American industry relies on the Ex-Im Bank to fill gaps in private export financing at no cost to the U.S. taxpayer. In 2013 the Bank supported $37 billion in U.S. manufacturing exports, returned $1.1 billion dollars to the U.S. Treasury, and helped support 205,000 private sector jobs.
To help offset the risks of foreign financing, the Ex-Im Bank provides businesses with the liquidity and confidence to accept new international contracts and compete more effectively in the global marketplace. The Ex-Im Bank's traditional financing for export products support businesses both large and small and include export credit insurance, working capital loans, loan guarantees and project finance loans. The Ex-Im Bank also provides "express" export finance products tailored to address short-term financing needs, liquidity and small business security. This confidence booster helps finance manufacturing exports within our industry which include large commercial aircraft, helicopters, general aviation aircraft, commercial satellites, launch services and related goods.
Ex-Im Bank export credit support has helped U.S. companies compete successfully for major foreign sales of U.S. civilian aircraft, launch services and commercial satellites in recent years. The biggest beneficiaries of these sales are small and mid-sized companies that supply major manufacturers with parts, systems and equipment. They benefit both from the initial sale to the original equipment manufacturer and even more so with aftermarket sales for maintenance, repair and overhaul.
In the current federal budgetary environment, commercial export opportunities represent critical revenue diversification that many aerospace suppliers will need to survive. If they do not, the implications for America's technological edge on the battlefield would be ominous.
The Bank helps level the playing field for America's aerospace manufacturers, who are competing with foreign companies backed by the low interest rates and deep coffers of other nations. These companies are a key part of our national and economic security. Fifty-nine other countries do not hesitate to aggressively use institutions similar to the Ex-Im Bank to compete in the global marketplace, and Ex-Im Bank support is the only way many U.S. aerospace manufacturers have a fair fight.
The Ex-Im Bank is scheduled for reauthorization in 2014, but is already facing opposition and we must begin the fight now to ensure its passage next year. Working with member companies and a broad coalition of other associations, including the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, we are mounting an aggressive advocacy campaign in support of the Ex-Im Bank.

Here's a heads-up to the Broadway nay-sayers, the doom and gloomers and those who want to tear down the new Spider-Man musical just because they think they can – start eating your words, people.
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is so spectacular and so awe-inspiring that all the haters – and there seem to be plenty of them out there – look like complete morons.
To those who have declared the most talked about show ever to arrive on Broadway to be dead on arrival, a ridiculously expensive ($65 million) folly that never had a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding . . . well, we've had an awful lot of snow in New York this year, and Spider-Man is so sizzingly hot that it won't have any problem melting away all of the bad press that's greeted its arrival on the Great White Way.
For sure the production, with music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge of U2 and story and direction by The Lion King's creative genius Julie Taymor, has had its fair share of problems, led by the injuries suffered by some of its cast members, including a horrifying fall by one of the stunt doubles playing Spider-Man.
Technical glitches have plagued some of the preview performances, and the official opening date has been pushed back several times – it was to bow in December, but now the new date is March 15 – leaving critics howling that the preview window has stretched way beyond the Broadway norm, and others proclaiming that all the difficulties only prove that Spidey's web has been a tangled mess from the start.
We went to the Saturday afternoon matinee at the show's Foxwoods Theater home on 42nd Street. There wasn't an empty seat in the house – the previews are the hottest ticket on Broadway, which of course is a good thing for the producers who hope to eventually recoup their initial record-setting investment.
The performance on Saturday was technically flawless. Actually, it was a technical sensation completely unlike anything ever staged on Broadway or anywhere else, a feast for the eyes that's so dazzling, so "wow, wow, wow" that you'll be left totally awestruck.
Spidey flies and swings through the theater, he leaps from balcony to balcony, he stages a battle with his arch-enemy the Green Goblin right over the heads of those in the lower orchestra seats, he climbs all over the elaborate sets . . . it's just a wonder to watch, and an unbelievable achievement to actually execute.
Taymor brought the brilliance of her inventive mind to Broadway with The Lion King, which is still going strong 14 years on, but she's utterly raised the bar to a soaring height – which is exactly what she, Bono and The Edge said they wanted to do – with Spider-Man.
The show's storyline has also gotten battered around by some early commentators – it's not cohesive, it's hard to follow, there is no narrative, blah, blah, blah.
As any fan of the Spider-Man comics or movies will know, the story in a nutshell centers around Peter Parker and his girl Mary Jane. Peter transforms into Spidey and saves the world from evil but still tries hard to maintain his identity as Peter when he's not weaving his webs.
The story in the Broadway incarnation stays true to this line, and there's nothing at all wrong with the Taymor and Bono/Edge new interpretation. The cast members are excellent, so talented and so obviously full of enthusiasm for what they're doing.
Spider-Man isn't Shakespeare, and anyone looking for high drama with a deep and profound meaning is fortunate because there are lots of those type of shows playing on Broadway and elsewhere in the city.
Taymor has added the new character of Arachne, a sinister female spider for Spidey to contend with. The character proves to be an integral part of the story – maybe a bit too much in the second half, which Taymor acknowledges is still being worked on in advance of the opening in March.
If there's one legitimate complaint that's been voiced about the show, it's that the ending lacks a final jolt of oomph given all the razzle dazzle that preceded. If I was Taymor, Bono and The Edge I'd definitely shake up the final 15 minutes some more, and let Spidey go out with a wondrous leap that will send audience members rushing back to the box office for more tickets even faster than they already undoubtedly will.
So what of Bono and The Edge's musical score? As one half of U2, the world's most important and celebrated rock band for the past three decades, they certainly have huge reputations to live up to . . . and they've done exactly that, with great aplomb.
Their score is an artistic triumph that they can and should be extremely proud of. It's edge-y (excuse the pun), it's vital to Taymor's narrative and the overall feel of the show, suspenseful when it needs to be, mellow when it needs to be.

UNION CITY -- Ahki Muhammad is a wide receiver by trade, but he does whatever the James Logan High football team needs.
Muhammad delivered big time Friday, rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns and making a key interception to set up the go-ahead score in a 21-18 victory over San Ramon Valley.
"I just get in where I fit in," said Muhammad, who has orally committed to Nevada as a receiver. "If they need me to score, if they need me to get an interception, if they need me to make tackles, I'm happy wherever."
Muhammad had two first-half touchdowns as Logan (2-1) took a 14-11 lead. But San Ramon Valley (1-1) scored on its first drive of the third quarter, with quarterback Matt Winaker hitting Aran Roberts on a 4-yard pass to make it 18-14.
That score remained late in the third quarter when Muhammad intercepted Winaker and returned it 49 yards to the Wolves' 21. Four plays later, on fourth-and-8, Colts quarterback Christian Leota found Kavion Augustine for a 19-yard go-ahead touchdown.
San Ramon Valley threatened twice in the fourth quarter, once reaching the Logan 17 before a bad snap and a sack forced the Wolves well out of field goal range. But the Wolves punted twice from inside Colts territory.
Muhammad then iced the game by picking up two first downs on the ground, including a 20-yard run on third-and-5 that allowed the Colts to go into victory formation.
"This is just getting us ready for everything down the road," Muhammad said of the team's second straight win over the Wolves, including a 35-0 victory last year. "We've got De La Salle coming up, Bishop O'Dowd, Berkeley. They'll all be tough teams. We'll just see how we do."
Winaker put San Ramon Valley on the board first with a 6-yard touchdown run and also kicked a 33-yard field goal at the end of the first half. The Wolves' Marcus de la Pena fought hard for 87 yards on 19 carries against a physical Logan defense.

This is a non-breaking change (and, in fact, a bug fix) as far as the official build is concerned, but it will affect packagers of custom Windows builds in the next release (currently scheduled to be 1.31.0).
A new class, net.pms.configuration.Build, has been added as a one-stop location for settings that custom builds are most likely to customize. The next release will optionally re-enable update checking, which previously used an update URL hardwired in PMS.java. This is now defined in Build.java, along with some other build-specific settings.
By setting IS_UPDATABLE in Build.java to false, update checks (manual and automatic) can be unconditionally disabled for Windows builds that can't/won't use the update mechanism. (There is no need to disable update checks in builds for other platforms as they're currently only supported on Windows.) Alternatively, custom builds that do want to take advantage of this mechanism can substitute their own server URL by setting UPDATE_SERVER_URL to an appropriate value. Finally, custom builds can define a build-specific profile directory name by means of the PROFILE_DIRECTORY_NAME field. This can be used to ensure that a custom build's profile files don't conflict with those used by the official build.
See the Build.java source for more details.

The British director Mendes had said earlier that "Skyfall" would be his lone entry in the 007 canon, but Bond producers and Sony Pictures announced his return Thursday.
Mendes recently debuted an adaptation of "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" in London. He's also mounting "King Lear" for the National Theatre.
Mendes says in a statement "that by giving me the time I need to honor all my theater commitments, the producers have made it possible for me to direct Bond 24."
The as-yet-titled Bond film is scheduled to be released in fall 2015. The script is by "Skyfall" screenwriter John Logan.
Released last year, "Skyfall" made more than $1.1 billion worldwide.

I use PMS to stream music/podcasts to my TV a lot, but lately my audio playback is really choppy. For about 30 seconds it plays smoothly, and then every 10 seconds after that there is a 1 second pause. Does anyone have an idea why this might be?
I'm on a wireless LAN connection, but I'm about 5 feet (through a wall) from my router and signal strength is obviously maxed out.

How To Wrap a Hair Turban
Say what??! "Yes, your face is saying something," says Jean Haner, an expert in face reading and author of The Wisdom of Your Face. "You're born with the features you have for a reason. The face is a map of your personality as well as your whole life." Hot off the heels of a study that revealed whether you're a fling or wife-y material, we wanted to know more about what our eyes, nose, mouth, etc., are telling the world. Here, Haner lays out what your facial features communicate about you (or your BF or BFF), based on her studies in 3,000-year-old face reading derived from Chinese medicine. Want a personalized reading of your own? Contact Jean here!More
"What we look at most are the shapes of foreheads because they reveal a lot about a person," says Haner.
"If you have a rounded one, like Christina Ricci, it typically means you're creative, artistic, highly emotional, but not always logical."
If your forehead slants back, like Ryan Seacrest's, that usually means you're someone who is entrepreneurial and likes to get results, but doesn't like to talk about their personal self," Haner says. "If you're dating a person with a slanted forhead, know that they tend not to want to talk about the relationship and would rather just do their own thing."

Puzzle of the Heart
Taylor Crowe and his father David are on a 2,200 mile quest of the heart.
Taylor is an artist, and a good one. He's not just talented, he is incredible. 2 years ago, he spoke eloquently at Autism Speaks "Tip off for a Cure" event, charming us with his stories, enthusiasm and creativity.
Today, Taylor and David visited our offices to present a truly remarkable creation – a painting of epic proportions (it barely fit into their mini-van) that comes with a brilliant explanation about the autism community.
"The hearts show the feelings that people with autism have that many people don't realize that they have. They also show the feelings that parents, and mentors, and other people show for working with people with autism."
In talking with Taylor after the presentation, we learned that he's on his way to speak at a LoveU2Pieces conference – if you are in the St. Louis area, be sure to attend!
Watch as Taylor presented "Puzzle of the Heart" and talks about the meaning behind the art:

Panthers re-sign Munnerlyn, ink free agent Mitchell
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 12:18 a.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Panthers have re-signed cornerback Captain Munnerlyn (USC) and signed unrestricted free agent safety Mike Mitchell from the Oakland Raiders.
Both players signed one-year deals. The team announced the deals Thursday.
They are the latest moves to improve a secondary looking to replace long-time starting cornerback Chris Gamble, who was released in a salary cap move. Carolina previously signed unrestricted free agent cornerbacks D.J. Moore and Drayton Florence.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera says, "Mitchell should provide competition in the secondary and we know Captain is a tough, hard-nosed competitor capable of making big plays."
Munnerlyn played in all 16 games with 11 starts for the Panthers in 2012.
Mitchell joins the Panthers after playing the first four seasons of his career with the Raiders. He has nine career starts.

Outlaw leagues like the GMHL say they provide a venue for young imports and others to get noticed, but opponents say the negatives can't be ignored.
The Greater Metro Jr. A League is Canada's largest outlaw league with 13 teams, 12 in Ontario and one in Jamestown, N.Y. NHL scouts have shown up at games and inquired about players, but the league is generally considered sub-par; its imports castoffs or kids from non-traditional hockey countries looking for better competition.

Hockey Canada won't work with leagues that don't follow their rules and one specific 'outlaw' circuit is arguing the treatment of import players is unfair.
Since 2008, Hockey Canada, which oversees everything from house leagues to Olympic teams, has refused to do business with any league that operates outside its auspices, labelling them 'outlaws.

ATLANTA THRASHERS THN pre-season prediction: 11th in East. Scoring leaders: Dustin Byfuglien, 41; Tobias Enstrom, 38; Andrew Ladd, 36. Key stat: Atlanta is led in scoring by two defensemen and has the second-highest scoring defense corps (112 points) in the NHL behind Detroit (120).

All parties come out smelling like roses in the Stars-Devils deal, especially a seasoned vet who escapes a terrible situation for friendlier confines.
First it was the coach, now it's the captain. And the New Jersey Devils' season gets curiouser and curiouser. Easily the worst team in the NHL this season and approaching all-time franchise futility - and that's something for a club Wayne Gretzky once called a Mickey Mouse organization - New Jersey dealing Jamie Langenbrunner to Dallas Friday was a win-win and win, a thumbs-up for both teams and the player.

Fans of murder mysteries may already be familiar with "Sleuth," the award-winning play by Anthony Shaffer. The story of an acclaimed mystery writer named Andrew Wyke who lures his wife's lover to his home in the English countryside picked up the Tony for Best Play in 1970.
Shaffer's masterful plot is thick with deceit and double-crossers. "Sleuth" was performed nearly 1,500 times during its two-year run on Broadway before it gained only greater popularity through not one but two film adaptations. The first starred Laurence Olivier as Andrew and Michael Caine as the younger man Milo Tindle. The two are locked in a war of wit, revenge and, yes, murder.
Yet it is no mystery why "Sleuth," often called the best thriller ever written for the stage, has always brought the heavyweights of British theater out to play. According to Christopher Alleman, producing artistic director of the Lake Dillon Theatre Company (LDTC) where "Sleuth" will run through Feb. 10, the play is a "cat-and-mouse suspense story with a twist and then another twist." He added that "Sleuth" has "real name recognition." He is likely referring to the second film adaptation of the play, directed by Kenneth Branagh from a screenplay by Harold Pinter. In 2007, Michael Caine returned to the cast but not to the same role. As Milo, Jude Law played the role that Caine had originated onscreen more than 30 years prior. "The crimes in this play are physical as well as mental," said Alleman, and "they always keep the audience guessing."
Directing the current production of "Sleuth" at the LDTC is veteran Alan Osburn. He has directed more than 30 productions ranging from Shakespeare to Sondheim across Colorado, in addition to five world-premiere plays in New York. Osburn confesses that directing the famously complicated play posed certain challenges. For starters, there is Andrew's English home, which is chock-full of antiques and inventions. Osburn said he tried to present them onstage as accurately as possible, though guns are fired and the set must undergo significant damage.
Osburn is pleased to be directing some top-notch actors in the current LDTC production: as Andrew, there's Thomas Borrillo, winner of the Marlow Critic's Award for "A Lie of the Mind" and the 2007 Henry Award winner for co-starring in "Frankie and Johnny" alongside his fiance. Milo is played by Joel Rainwater, last seen as Mervyn in LDTC's "A Behanding in Spokane" and in the Broadway tour of "The Lion King." Borrillo spoke to the fairly tight rehearsal schedule behind "Sleuth" but added, happily, "this is a tricky show and Joel and I are up for some fun."
When the affable Alleman spoke to the theater season ahead of LDTC this year, he said he hoped it will be an "enriching experience for everyone in the community." On "Sleuth," however, he lit up a bit and said, "There's a murder," then, with some mischief in his eyes, "and a few other crimes, actually."

Bear with us; it's interesting! Pre 1960, denim was seen purely as workwear. It was only in the 60s & 70s that people began to see it as a fashion item. At this point designers began to introduce denim into their collections and play around with details. In an attempt to move away from the western aesthetic, menswear designers began to swap 5 pocket detailing for jet front pockets and the trend gradually caught on in womenswear too.
The jet front pocket became an iconic feature associated with flared jeans and can be seen on all of the Marrakesh jeans in the original Made in Heaven archive – a detail you see to this day in the current MiH collection.

24 years ago, Rick Lookebill was forced to say an untimely goodbye to his beloved 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 — the very first car he ever bought.
Since then, the Indiana man has searched high and low for the vehicle, and recently accelerated his efforts to locate it.
Unbeknownst to Rick, his son had already located the car in Florida and made the arrangements to purchase it and drive it back home.
He then surprised his dad with it, and captured his reaction on camera.
Grab a hanky — that Mustang is about to kick up a lot of dust.

PARKERSBURG -People often talk about history in the making. With the Broadway Sandwich Shop opening a second location on the north end, it's history in the moving.
The Broadway Sandwich Shop has been a mainstay in south Parkersburg since 1928. On Friday, the shop's owners Nathan and Patricia Eagle opened a second store at 2410 Dudley Ave.
"We're pretty excited," said Patricia Eagle, co-owner and operator.

Patricia and Nathan Eagle have opened a second Broadway Sandwich Shop. The Broadway Sandwich Shop has been a southside mainstay since 1928.
The Eagles are confident the new shop will be a success.
Nathan Eagle, a graduate of Parkersburg South High School, said customers have often requested a store on the north end of town.
"People around town would come in and tell us they hadn't eaten here in so long they had forgotten about this place or wished we had one on the north end," he said.
The north end opening is a historic move for a shop considered a southside icon.
The Broadway Sandwich Shop was opened in 1928 by Andrew Valos, who saw the need to provide fast, inexpensive food to a booming workforce. South Parkersburg was home to the Viscose plant, Ames-Baldwin-Wyoming, a porcelain works, a foundry and other businesses all within a stone's throw of the sandwich shop.
In addition to the growing industries, residential areas grew. And the shop was across the street from Fairplains School where children could get hot dogs, chips and a drink for a quarter.
Many of the plants have long-since closed. School children are now served hot lunch and no longer allowed to leave campus.
But the sandwich shop remains a busy place. It's a source of fond memories for many who grew up on the hot dogs.
The shop remains family-owned. Nathan is the son of Sandy Smith, whose parents bought the shop in 1966.
The Eagles think the second shop will enjoy similar success. Nathan Eagle said the shop is has easy access for traffic, located right off Dudley Avenue.
"The (Parkersburg) high school is close, the (City) park is close by and the bus stop is right across the street," he said.
The expansion plan has been in the works for more than a year, the Eagles said. Things started picking up steam last summer when they located a suitable site for the shop.
They have spent the last month renovating the site, holding their grand opening last week. The Eagles have been advertising the shop through Facebook.
"It feel like forever," said Patricia Eagle.
Patricia Eagle said the menu at the second shop will remain the same - hot dogs cost 42 cents - as the southside shop, with one exception.
"Fries will be available here," she said of the Dudley Avenue shop.
"And we still carry Mister Bee," Nathan Eagle said.
