Man's Birthday Gift: Being Saved From Fire
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 7:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 7:28 a.m.
ST. PETERSBURG | A man celebrating his birthday alone narrowly escaped a fire after another man pulled him to safety, authorities said.
Oscar Jenkins, who turned 76 on Monday, had put a pan of macaroni and cheese on the stove, then fallen asleep on his recliner in room 211 of Arlington Arbor Affordable Senior Apartments. The food caught fire, said spokesman Lt. Joel Granata of St. Petersburg Fire Rescue.
Jerome Williams, who was visiting his mother in room 212, smelled smoke and heard an alarm shortly before 9 p.m.
"It smelled like fire, or like wire being burned," said Williams, 45.
Williams entered Jenkins' apartment to find it engulfed in smoke and drenched by the unit's sprinkler system. At first, he could not see Jenkins or tell where the fire was coming from.
Then he spotted the man on his recliner, asleep.
"He had something on the stove, there was smoke billowing out," said Williams, who said his Army training kicked in next. "I had to make a decision to go get him first."
Williams awakened Jenkins and got him to Barbara Williams' unit next door. As rescuers arrived at the scene, another neighbor made Jenkins a cup of coffee.
Jenkins was treated at the scene and released. No other units were damaged, Granata said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Vernon Davis' 1-yard touchdown catch, as ruled upon replay review, gave the 49ers a 13-10 halftime in their divisional playoff game against the Panthers.
Officials initially ruled that Davis was out of bounds, prompting 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh to charge some 20 yards onto the field in protest. Harbaugh drew a 15-yard, unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty that got assessed on the ensuing kickoff.
Down 13-6 with 3:41 remaining in the half, the 49ers marched 80 yards on 12 plays for Davis' go-ahead touchdown. Although Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin made key receptions on the drive, what really helped the 49ers' cause was a pass-interference penalty on Drayton Florence in the end zone, on a third-and-goal pass to Boldin.
The 49ers' other two scoring drives — a pair of first-quarter field goals -- also were boosted by Panthers' penalties, those of the unnecessary-roughness variety: Mike Mitchell sideswiped Vernon Davis on the opening drive, and Captain Munnerlyn head-butted Crabtree on the second scoring drive.
The Panthers went ahead 7-6 when Cam Newton hit Steve Smith in stride for a 31-yard touchdown catch against Tarell Brown, who never turned his head to spot the ball. Preceding that snap was a 24-yard punt return by former 49er Ted Ginn Jr.
Carolina's quick-strike touchdown soured a goal-line stand by the 49ers defense the last time they were on the field, when Ahmad Brooks stopped Newton on fourth-and-goal from the 1.
The 49ers' goal-line defense came through again in the second quarter, when the Panthers settled for a 24-yard field goal after reaching the 1. Ahmad Brooks' offside leap into the backfield didn't hurt the 49ers, and NaVorro Bowman followed it by tackling Mike Tolbert for a 1-yard loss third-and-goal.

I spent the day Thursday with some of Kickfire's engineers at their headquarters. In this article, I'd like to go over a little of the system's architecture and some other details.

Liverpool Message Board
Target: 20 extra goals in the league
By my reckoning this would mean us scoring 91 goals this coming season - a big ask by anyone's standards. I'm not a negative git like some of us on here, but is Rodgers setting himself up for a fall by saying such things? And where would these goals come from? Perhaps he should be talking about goal difference instead??Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
You are absolutely right Loki, I watched BR saying it myself on LFCTV. He might as well call it an extra 43 once we sell Suarez! :O. Aspas scored 12 and 7 assists compared to Downings 3 goals and 5 assists, so there is a substantial increase. This guy Mchtykriantyrianytian scored 25 goals, no idea how many assists. Surely that is a good start?! Plus, we expect Coutinho and Sturridge to nab a few over the season, I seriously think he means just that many more goals, not goal difference, of course, this is all based on Suarez staying........
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Jun 12, 2013 20:59 Flag
Where did you see this Loki, as my first reaction was the goal difference also, so wondering if something got lost in translation. Actually improving the GD might not be unrealistic, as we gave away some silly goals last term and actually did worse in our goals against compared with the season before, and if we can get the midfield to chip in a few more goals over the full season, I can see us getting at least 10 more at the other end.
- 1 Reply to dsteer_lfc_68
Not lost in translation unless it was reported incorrectly. I don't remember where I saw it - check out the mirror, mail and echo websites. On the goals against last season, we conceded 3 more, which considering the changes, was no difference in the scheme of things - particularly as we got more points. Of course we could have done better but ........

Huntsville Police Prepare for Rocket City Marathon
Huntsville, Alabama (December 09, 2009) More than 2,500 people are expected to participate and watch the Rocket City Marathon this Saturday, December 12, 2009. Chief Henry Reyes said it's the largest event in the city and requires numerous officers and multiple road closings to keep runners safe. Reyes said motorists should obey all Police Officers and Public Safety Aides who will direct traffic at intersections along the route. Because of the length of the route, there will only be a few posted barricades. The Marathon will begin at 8:00 am on Williams Avenue in front of the Holiday Inn Express, travel through the downtown area and then south through Southeast Huntsville, until it begins the return trip back at Green Cove Road to the downtown area. The Marathon will end at 2:00 pm in the back parking lot of the Holiday Inn on Lowe Avenue. Chief Reyes said motorists should try to avoid traveling along Airport Road and Governor's Drive near Huntsville Hospital as much as possible during these hours and use alternate routes like Weatherly Road, Drake Avenue and Bob Wallace to get to their destinations. For more specific information, citizens can access the Huntsville Track Club Rocket City Marathon route at:

SAN JOSE -- San Jose State wrapped up spring football practice Wednesday with a session aimed at preparing players for independent work over the next four months.
Spartans coach Ron Caragher and his staff spent the first half of practice running things, then turned it over to the players for the final 45 minutes. The players ran their own individual drills and then gathered for team work while the quarterbacks made the offensive play calls.
With spring practice complete, the coaches won't be with the players for football work until training camp begins Aug. 1, but players can organize and work out on their own.
"We tried to clean up some of the things we saw in the name of organization and communication and efficiency so they can have a better offseason," Caragher said. "I was pleased. Guys were pretty organized. They stepped up and led."
Caragher confirmed what was expected in that the quarterback competition between senior Blake Jurich and junior Joe Gray will continue into the summer.
"I think they both had good moments," Caragher said. "I loved Joe's spring game, I really did. He did a nice job in the spring game. But I also know, in fairness looking at the whole spring, Blake had some really good moments."
Gray completed 17 of 20 passes for 192 yards in the spring game, while Jurich was just 4 of 9 for 34 yards. Gray goes into the offseason as the unspoken favorite for the job, but Caragher said it's still close enough to hold off making a decision.
"It's not like it's totally lopsided," Caragher said. "The spring game, Joe did a really nice job, but I think overall it's competitive."
Caragher said he wants to see at least one more scrimmage during training camp in August before making a decision.
"Very challenging," Caragher said of his potential to return. "I know that he loves football. We've got to talk in time and see how things heal. It's just a tough thing."

University officials are reaching out to the community to choose a name for the newly-consolidated schools. (WRDW-TV / June 15, 2012)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Our cameras were the only ones rolling as the Board of Regents ratified Georgia Regents University as the new name for Augusta's "New U." Many local people are planning for protests and petitions.
But what options do local people have? We went straight to the top with some of your comments.
"It's a stupid name," said Troy Mcneill on our WRDW Facebook page.
"Sounds like the name of one of those online schools where you get a worthless diploma," said Clinton Ryan on Facebook.
You are not pulling any punches about the new name for the soon-to-be-merged Augusta State and Georgia Health Sciences University.
"It is a bit sad," said GHSU President Dr. Ricardo Azziz. "I'm a bit disappointed, but we are moving forward to the future."
Azziz spoke exclusively to News 12 as the chorus of boos grows louder here at home.
"Is there anything that can be done? Will you change your mind?" we asked Benjamin Tarbutton, chairman of the Board of Regents. " I think it is pretty much settled. We have the final say-so on that."
A special committee on consolidation considered three names, including Georgia Regents University.
"I was really happy about that. They actually chose from the three names that we submitted. They could have chosen any name," Azziz said. "I think that the community of Augusta needs to embrace and move forward. We have got a great future ahead of us."
Tarbutton echoes that sentiment.
"When the dust settles, I know that the people in Augusta will support the school like they always have," Tarbutton said.
Meanwhile, local radio host Austin Rhodes is planning a protest at Doug Barnard Amphitheater on Monday, Aug. 20.
"They have a right to express themselves as long as they do it professionally," Azziz said. "As long as they do it in a courteous manner, as long as they do it safely."
There is a public forum next Thursday at Augusta State starting at noon. The forum starts at 3 p.m. at GHSU.

Today, Michelin spokesman Newt Gingrich berated the Manhattan elites who "ride the subway"; last month, he scolded them for "writing for fancy newspapers" and "rid[ing] the metro." But as non-members of the elite class, we had to ask ourselves: is it really true that elites ride the subway?
A thorough investigation of our own archives reveals that the answer is "yes." Here are all the reports we've received of New York elites on our "metro."
Bill Keller, who writes for a fancy newspaper, spotted on the B train.
And here's Arianna Huffington, heading off to an elite high rise.
Guess who this is? That's right: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
A tipster sent us this rousing intellectual debate between Peggy Noonan and Maureen Dowd.
Times op-ed writer David Brooks on his way to "the Tower of News."
And finally, our old friend Brian Williams, making friends on the subway.

Very cool looking bagel dogs! What a great idea! So, how did you wrap them. It looks like you made ropes and wrapped them around the dogs? Do you have a picture of the wrapped, prebaked dogs?
- May 26, 2009 at 5:09 PM
- Mags said...
Thanks gaaarp. I'm sorry that I didn't take any photos as I was making them, but yes, I formed ropes (about 18 inches long,) similary to how I made the ropes to make regular bagels, only thinner and longer. Then I just started at one end of the dog, and wrapped it from end to end, tucking in the last end of dough.

Singing sensation Jennel Garcia of Rochester tore into Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" on "The X Factor" Wednesday night, placing her fate in viewers' hands while the judges went back and forth on everything from her performance to her new look.
After the show, live from Los Angeles, viewers voted for their favorite acts and the bottom two vote-getters will face possible elimination on tonight's episode.
Garcia's rendition of the song saw her taking her new rocker look back on stage with an all-black ensemble and dyed-black hair, something that divided the show's judges.
"I really don't like what Demi has done to the way you look," said judge Simon Cowell, referring to Garcia's on-show mentor, singer Demi Lovato.
"That's why I'm her mentor and you're not," Lovato sharply responded.
And while judge Britney Spears called Garcia's performance "hot hot hot," her colleague L.A. Reid saw it differently.
"I didn't see any originality. It was just a parody of a Joan Jett song," he said.
Garcia's fans immediately leapt to her defense on Twitter with user Cay Marie tweeting "um parody? learn your word meanings (sic) ... that was a cover not a parody."
Garcia blew the show's judges away during her audition in Providence last August, but now the viewers will decide whether she has the "X factor" that will make her America's next pop star.
"The X Factor" appears on Fox Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m.

Poll Shows Free Trade Is Tricky Terrain for Both Parties
Democrats in Congress have distanced themselves from President Barack Obama's trade agenda. But that hasn't created much of an opening for traditionally more pro-trade Republicans.
Only 48% of Republican respondents in a new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll say they would support a candidate who sees free trade as a way to create skilled, well-paying jobs, compared with a candidate who says free trade is negative because it would ship jobs overseas.
Among Democratic respondents, 54% say they'd back the candidate who views free trade negatively.
"This is not a partisan home-run for any party," said Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, the Republican pollster who conducts the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll along with Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates. "There are huge chunks of Republicans who would be looking at and supporting anti-free trade candidates, and huge chunks of Democrats who are pro-free trade."
The poll also found wide disparities in how people view globalization, with the partisan divide cutting the other way. Half of Republicans described as bad the increasing globalization of the U.S. economy, compared to 46% of Democrats who said that.
Overall, Americans appear to be split down the middle on trade, with 46% supporting a hypothetical candidate who backs free trade and 48% supporting a candidate who views trade negatively.

"Each party is sitting with a difficult task," Mr. McInturff said.
Trade agreements that lower tariffs and quotas don't sit well with blue-collar workers who have seen jobs move abroad since the North American Free Trade Agreement took effect 20 years ago or since China joined the World Trade Organization.
Educational attainment, job description and income are more closely linked to trade views than political party. Sixty-one percent of men with at least a college education say they'd back a candidate who supports free trade. But 59% of blue-collar workers, and a similar share of women with less than a college degree, would back a candidate with negative views on free trade, according to the poll.
Mr. Obama last week visited Japan, the biggest partner among the dozen countries around the Pacific that are in talks to form the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP. As a part of the agreement, the U.S. wants Tokyo to lower tariffs and quotas on meat exports and better access to the Japanese car market, while Tokyo is asking Washington to eliminate tariffs on its automobiles as soon as possible.
The administration is also in early-stage talks with the European Union on an "economic NATO," a trade agreement known as the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP. With most tariffs and quotas already low with Europe, Washington and Brussels are seeking to align regulations in ways that could save businesses money and boost growth.
Many congressional Democrats are skeptical of both sets of negotiations, and the top Democrats in both chambers this year dismissed calls to move "fast track" legislation that would assure trade partners of congressional support and streamline passage of the TPP or TTIP.

North Carolina's elected officials are looking for ways to encourage more military members to remain in the state once they leave the service with jobs, and in some cases give them a second chance.
There's expected to be a spike in separations from the military at North Carolina installations through 2016 as Iraq and Afghanistan operations wind down and troop levels settle.
Gov. Pat McCrory and other state leaders say the surge is an opportunity to find ways to keep them in the state for good by highlighting their skills to potential employers.
One pilot program is also designed to help veterans who may be dealing with substance abuse or mental health problems. Harnett County will hold the state's first veterans' treatment court later this week.

Outside Money Sparks Tension in N.H. Senate Race
Tensions are bubbling over since former GOP Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts announced Friday that he was preparing to challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire.
The latest controversy centers on outside money in the race. In an open letter to Mr. Brown Saturday, Ms. Shaheen asked him to sign a "People's Pledge" to limit outside spending in the race. Mr. Brown had signed such a pledge for the 2012 Massachusetts Senate race, which he lost to Sen. Elizabeth Warren. The pledge aims to limit outside spending by exacting a price on candidates: If an outside group runs an ad supporting a candidate or criticizing his or her opponent, the candidate must pay half of ad's cost to their opponent's charity of choice.
"I very much admired the People's Pledge that you and Elizabeth Warren signed in your 2012 Massachusetts Senate race," Ms. Shaheen wrote in the letter. "I believe it limited the influence of outside groups and allowed the people's voices to be heard."
Mr. Brown hasn't said whether he will sign the pledge, but he sharply criticized Ms. Shaheen as "hypocritical." In a statement Saturday, Mr. Brown said she was "on the West Coast raising money so third-party groups in D.C. will have money to run even more outside negative ads against me. It's hard to view Jeanne Shaheen's actions as anything other than hypocritical and self-serving. The people of New Hampshire can see through the Washington-style game she is playing."
Speaking to reporters in Rochester, N.H., Saturday, he added that the "horse has kind of left the barn," pointing to the number of outside groups that have already run ads in the state.
Before Mr. Brown declared his candidacy, outside groups had already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the race. Last December, Ending Spending, a group that advocates fiscal restraint, began airing an ad targeting Ms. Shaheen for her support of the health care law, and in January, the Democratic Senate Majority PAC spent more than $150,000 on a pre-emptive attack ad against Mr. Brown. Conservative group American Crossroads launched a $650,000 ad campaign against Ms. Shaheen this week.
But, the New Hampshire Democratic Party notes, this was also the case in the Massachusetts race, where prior to signing the deal several groups—including the League of Conservation Voters, Crossroads GPS, and Rethink PAC—spent a total of more than $3 million on the race before the candidates signed the pledge in January 2012.
Guy Cecil, executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said Monday that Mr. Brown "needs to explain to New Hampshire voters why he chose to honor the People's Pledge in Massachusetts but doesn't think New Hampshire voters deserve the same respect."
Mr. Brown is widely considered to be in the best position to defeat Ms. Shaheen, whose support for the health care law has hurt her approval ratings. If Mr. Brown does not sign the pledge, his candidacy will likely force Democrats to devote considerable funds to yet another state as they try to hold on to their majority in the Senate this November. Mr. Brown is also a formidable fundraiser—his failed re-election bid in 2012 drew more than $28 million, according to Federal Election Commission records.
A Suffolk University-Boston Herald poll last week showed Mr. Brown trailing Ms. Shaheen by 13 points, and found his favorability ratings 20 percentage points lower than the senator's. The poll had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. As recently as January, two polls showed the candidates neck and neck.

Frances Cleveland First Spouse Gold Coin (first term)
First Lady, 1886–1889
Frances Folsom Cleveland was born July 21, 1864, in Buffalo, New York, and married President Grover Cleveland on June 2, 1886. As first lady, she held receptions at the White House for working-class women who were unable to visit on week days. Common "shop girls," government clerks, maids and other service industry workers lined up in the regal East Room or, weather permitting, on the south lawn to shake the hand and have a personal word with the young and popular first lady. After she attended a ceremony marking the opening of an organization dedicated to educational, social and other opportunities for factory workers, she personally greeted women workers. The cover of the November 1887 Harper's Weekly magazine featured the event on its cover.
Despite President Cleveland's best efforts, "Frankie," as she was called in the popular press, was an instant celebrity. She was so mobbed by admirers at public events that the President feared for her safety. The new first lady joined the President in an unprecedented tour of the south and west in 1887, and it only increased her fame and popularity.

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

Maryland Approves Energy Efficiency and Solar Energy Bills
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley signed 173 bills on April 24th, including three bills to encourage energy efficiency and renewable energy within the state. Senate Bill 103, the Maryland Clean Cars Act of 2007, requires the state's Department of Environment to follow California's lead in establishing a low-emissions vehicle program that will go into effect with the 2011 model year. The program will include limits on greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. Senate Bill 332 establishes the Maryland Green Building Council, which will advise the governor and state legislators on how to use green building principles in state construction projects. See the governor's press release, the full 51-page list of signed bills (PDF 196 KB), and the legislative Web pages for SB 103 and SB 332. Download Adobe Reader.
Though the governor focused on the two efficiency bills, a renewable energy bill is likely to have an equal or greater impact on the state. Senate Bill 595 modifies the state's renewable energy requirement to include a minimum percentage of solar power, starting at 0.005 percent of retail electricity sales in 2008 and increasing to 2 percent of electricity sales by 2022. The new solar requirement is added on to the previous renewable requirement, which called for 7.5 percent renewable energy by 2019. The bill also increases the maximum size of customer-owned, grid-connected power systems for net metering from 200 kilowatts to 2 megawatts, and requires utilities to provide net metering for up to 1,500 megawatts of customer-owned generation systems. Net metering allows customers to earn credit for power fed back into the electrical grid. The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) hailed the passage of the bill, claiming that it will make Maryland into one of the nation's largest markets for solar energy. See the legislative Web page for SB 595 and the SEIA press release.
Maryland also signed onto the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative on April 20th, making it the tenth state to join the regional effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Governor O'Malley also signed an executive order creating a commission to examine ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within the state and to develop a strategy to reduce Maryland's vulnerability to climate change. See the governor's press release.

text: 03 October 2011 archive See all show photos IT'S the last Monday morning of fashion month and enthusiasm could wane but Stella McCartney seems to always guarantee sun (though she can't take all the credit for that this week), celebrity (her father, Salma Hayek, Twiggy and Alexa Chung), and a sex appeal she makes her own each season. Today she took microprints from mens' ties in burgundy and white or blue and white and blew them up to varying degrees on mini dresses featuring asymmetrical sporty mesh under garments and ornate curling baroque appliqué hemlines. Swirls of paisley lace interjected mini dresses and all-in-ones and the traditional Stella trouser suits featured more of the same softening decoration at the lapel. With her standard great line-up of girls - today was opened and closed by Natalia Vodianova and had Natasha Poly and Miranda Kerr in the mix too - this collection mixed Stella's love of sporty, wearable clothes with the sexier girl she introduced us to last season via the barely-there black chiffon dresses scattered with strategically placed paillettes that has been worn by Kate Winslet, Livia Firth and, today, Anna Della Russo in the front row. This time, the side panels of dresses are missing but for a sliver of mesh, while daywear is made up of block-printed silky pyjama suits and casual polo shirt dresses worn with matching athletic pants. It was less overtly sexy than last season but still playful, confident, original and Stella through and through. "I really liked it," said Vogue's fashion editor Fran Burns afterwards, as we crowded out of the Opera National into the sunshine to make a dash for the Emanuel Ungaro show. "It's a definite thumbs up for Stella." SEE THE STELLA MCCARTNEY SHOW ARCHIVE Dolly Jones Continue reading Back to top

MORAGA -- Saint Mary's College added some size to its men's basketball program by signing Evan Fitzner and Jock Landale to letters of intent.
The Gaels tapped their Australian pipeline for Landale, a 6-foot-11, 235-pound center from Melbourne. Fitzner, who is 6-foot-10 and 215 pounds, attends San Diego's Francis Parker School.
Landale, the 14th Australian to join the Gaels since 2001, was a member of his country's under-19 national team this past summer.
"He just started playing basketball seriously within the last couple of years and has really developed pretty quickly," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "He reminds me of some of the other Australian big players we've had in our program."
"I have been following Saint Mary's over recent years because of the Aussie players," Landale said. "It is any Aussie basketballer's dream to attend Saint Mary's, but I never thought it possible for me."
Fitzner will provide Saint Mary's with versatility. He can play center or stretch forward and was a first-team All-Coastal League selection last season.
"Our offensive system should be ideal for Evan's strengths and he gives us a versatile, young big man," Bennett said.

Oh, Handel, you populated your "Messiah" with so many pleasures: the fugues that surge like ocean surf; the shivery gravity of the strings, early on; the rhythms that connote struggle, groping through darkness, then stepping into the light. And most of all, those sweeping melodies, hit tunes from start to finish.
For the 14th year, the American Bach Soloists are performing "Messiah" at Grace Cathedral atop Nob Hill in San Francisco, an annual Christmas-time treat. Thursday's opening performance by the expert period-instrument orchestra and chorus, led by Jeffrey Thomas, was crisply and powerfully offered, putting across Handel's deft word-painting and the work's liturgical sweep, announcing the story of Christ's coming, his resurrection, ascension and glorification.
Thomas brought along four strong soloists to engage the oratorio's many Baroque-jukebox moments. For this listener, a favorite occurred when soprano Mary Wilson eased into the spotlight during Part One's fourth and fifth scenes, which are all about shepherds and angels and the attainment of peace. She is a fresh-voiced singer and a direct communicator -- without artifice as she loops and embellishes, executing Handel's tricky flights with seemingly little effort.
She's singing songs for her listeners; that's the effect.
And that moment: It happened as she coasted upward through the words "and ye shall find Rest unto your souls." Wilson alighted upon that key word, "Rest," as if she were laying her head on a soft pillow, high up on a heavenly perch. It happened quietly, but her pure sound carried as much clout as any moment in the two-and-a-half hour oratorio, which Handel composed in 1741, with a scriptural text assembled by Charles Jennens. Some of its early performances gave comfort -- perhaps a sense of "rest" -- to deserted and orphaned children in London's Foundling Hospital.
OK, time to carp.
Thomas likes to boast that his group offers historically informed performances: valveless trumpets, gut strings and the sort of expressive singing that Handel presumably enjoyed. The program notes handed out this weekend include descriptions of the vintage instruments played by each member of the orchestra. Concertmaster Elizabeth Blumenstock plays a violin crafted by the illustrious Andrea Guarneri in Cremona, Italy, in 1660. Joseph Edelberg, another of the violinists, plays an instrument dating to 1673 and the shop of Jacob Stainer, an Austrian luthier. And so on.
Yet each year, American Bach Soloists amplifies its "Messiah" performances at Grace Cathedral. Granted, the cathedral has strange, unpredictable and booming, reverberant acoustics. The amplification -- or sound "reinforcement," as ABS calls it -- is meant to even out the big room's acoustic flavors and specifically to boost the soloists' voices, so the libretto can clearly be heard. But how "authentic" is an amplified performance of "Messiah"? Thursday, much of the warmth that should arise from the ranks of a period orchestra was covered over by a cool and homogeneous patina.
Well, it was a trade-off.
Who couldn't enjoy tenor Wesley Rogers' aria "Ev'ry Valley shall be exalted," which he sang so melodiously, with dexterity, strength and depth of tone? Countertenor Ian Howell must have sipped hot tea at intermission, because, after an uncomfortable first half, he emerged in Part Two with the famous "He was despised and rejected of Men." Like a balladeer, he sang this song of Jesus's suffering with blooming sorrow.
After the audience rose to acknowledge the "Hallelujah" chorus, there was no beating Part Three's "The Trumpet shall sound," which baritone Jesse Blumberg delivered like a leaping proclamation of Judgment Day. He did this in tandem with impeccable trumpet soloist Caleb Hudson -- whose late-model valveless instrument (from 2009) is modeled after one made in Nuremberg by Leonhard Ehe III, in 1746.
The final "Amen" was a riot of fugue: so many colors poured through the chorus, which was blended with zing throughout the performance. One could see looks of love for this music on the faces of many of the singers, and why not?

Hope y'all don't mind me putting down in words how I came to being here today...
Almost three years ago I was obese and unhealthy. I was on medication for cholesterol and blood pressure and on the "fast track" toward diabetes. My blood test back then bore it out and my doctor told me either I had to change my lifestyle or resign myself to a life of popping pills to control my ailments. I chose lifestyle. I knew what I had to do as I used to bodybuild back in the 80s. I was never a "runner", but we had an old treadmill in the basement collecting dust and I began walking for 30 minutes/day. Through diet and walking, the pounds started coming off and that motivated me to "push" myself further. Before I knew it, I was alternating between a fast walk and a slow jog. At the end of three months I had shed 45lbs and my doctor took me off all meds. My blood test was "spot on perfect"...so much so that my doc asked me for permission to show other patients what can be done in three months with a bit of determination.
It didn't stop there of course. I continued my cardio routines and incorporated weights along with it. Then one day it happened...I was pushing myself on the treadmill and at around 25 minutes with a pace of around 4.8MPH (fast for me at the time), I felt this "rush" come over me and it felt like I could keep on going...so I did. Before long, I was jogging one hour with little or no problem.
Now you see, I'm not a "runner". That being the case, I never bothered to look at shoes, technique, C25K stuff...nothing. I just...ran. Whether outdoors or treadmill, I just "pushed" myself to do better either by increasing the incline, increasing the duration, or increasing my speed (although I'm still not a fast runner). To coin a cliche, I just "did it". I'm not sure how I stumbled across the 2011 Oakland Running Festival website back then, but it intrigued me. Could I actually "run" a half marathon? I was only running at most maybe 5 miles/day back then. How audacious!!! But I signed up for it anyway.
So there I was, some 50 year old guy with no running background that just lost a lot of weight and just began walking/jogging entering into a half marathon!!! LOL! To make matters worse, again, I didn't bother to look into any training regimens other than keep running and trying to go faster/farther...and the marathon was 2 months away. About a week before the half I did my best run at 8 miles. I figured if I could do 8 miles on the treadmill, I "think" I can do 13 miles, ya know?
So there I was on race day...hoping I could do this...and I did. I ran the half in old heavy Reebok Runtones, and I completed my very first race in 2 hours 18 minutes...beating the race average by 2 minutes!! I was pretty proud. So proud in fact that I ignored the unbearable pain in my knees that started at about mile 9. I felt that pain for an entire week thereafter...ugh (thus the title of this thread). But I persevered and now have many high altitude mountain runs under my belt (I live in the mountains), two Tough Mudder challenges and a bit more knowledgeable on proper gear to minimize injury/pain. Maybe one of these days in the near future this "non runner" might even attempt a full marathon...One can dream, can they not? Be well my friends and don't give up...:)
Very inspiring story! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing story!! Love it!
Thanks for sharing the story. Sounds like you just sort of dove in and did it...something not a lot of people can say nor do. However, you risked injury to yourself and
could of risked a DNF (did not finish) in the race or stop running altogether.
Please think about doing the simple task of going to a running store and get fitted for the right shoes
for yourself, and start a reasonable running regiment that works well for yourself.
About 19 years ago I did something similiar, started mainly for health and weight loss,
but had a running partner and a blueprint for running a marathon about 14 months out. And we did it.
Now I started running again for similiar reasons except my goal isn't to run a marathon but to run fast 5k and eventually 10k.
Final thoughts... nothing succeeds like success, yes? I love pushing myself and setting goals and doing things I wasn't able to do previously. I'm sure you probably feel the same way.
I think the beautiful thing about running is that everyone can have their own personal challenge, a goal to meet, could be a distance, or a time, or both. Or to just improve over the last race.
Or to just finish the darn thing. At any rate, I salute you sir and hope your next race is even more rewarding than the last.
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

DOE Offers $730 Million Loan Commitment for Michigan Steel Plant
Vehicles like the Ford Focus Electric, slated to go on sale in late 2011, gain extra fuel efficiency by using lighter-weight, high-strength steel.
DOE announced on July 13 the offer of a $730 million conditional loan commitment to modernize a high-strength steel factory in Dearborn, Michigan. The funding will support the modernization of Severstal Dearborn, LLC's existing facilities in addition to the construction of new facilities to produce the next generation of automotive steel. The Severstal project has the potential to significantly increase the supply of the steel needed to spur the growth of fuel-efficient vehicles. Severstal estimates the project will generate more than 2,500 construction jobs and more than 260 permanent manufacturing jobs.
The facilities will produce a wide range of advanced high-strength steels, which will enable manufacturers to reduce the weight of steel used in vehicles, cutting vehicle weight by 10%. The project could reduce the consumption of petroleum-based fuels by nearly 30 million gallons per year, avoiding annual emissions of more than 260,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. DOE's loans, loan guarantees, and conditional commitments for loan guarantees have totaled more than $40 billion in support of 42 U.S. clean energy projects, including more than $9 billion for manufacturers of advanced technology vehicles. See the DOE press release.

First installment
Mrs. Ona Wood, a Wood County family history researcher and historian, wrote a history of the county in the 1950's through the story of some early pioneer families here. She is a descendant of Wood County pioneer Peter Gunstream among others.
We are beginning the serial printing of the book in installments for the Wood County Genealogical Society Bulletin starting in the March 2010 newsletter. Part one is the foreword to the book.
LIFE IN THE PINEY WOODS: A History through the story of some early settlers Of Wood County Texas
by Ona Wood
Quitman, Texas
"A people which takes no pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered with pride by remote descendants." – Lord McCauley
This book has been written in reverence and in profound respect to those people whose names appear upon its pages.
I have written of my own people , not because of selfish reasons, but because I know their joys and sorrows; their hardships and achievements.
My people, I think, are typical of most of the pioneers of any part of East Texas; they were not wealthy as wealth is valued in money; they had their good years and bad ones; they worked hard to keep – as they said – "body and soul together."
I love and respect my people and give honor where honor lies; for what they were, I am.
The blood of our ancestry courses through the veins of their progenitors, and the ancestry was of many nationalities, English, French, Swede, Irish, Scotch, and probably pure American.
The same thst is true of my family holds true for their neighbors.
I like to walk along their paths, if not in reality, then in dreaming, and look for their tracks wherever they may wend, and stand along beside them into the dawn of a new era. Their tracks will never be obliterated, not by time or elements.
Their names have never been written into history books, and many of their names were never found in newspapers beyond the confines of their own county. They are not listed in the scrolls with the great, but they made history.
The pioneers seemed stern and severe, and so they were; but, beneath the veneer which the wilderness provoked, was to be found a compassionate spirit.
And, as most of them – your forefathers and mine – sleep in the age-old burying grounds, near and far, may we in humbleness, bless the day when they set foot on East Texas soil.

Saying 'thanks' to a proud veteran
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 6:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 6:14 p.m.
I am a proud World War II veteran, and I wear a cap saying so. About three months ago or so, I was in Piccadilly Cafeteria, picking up lunch for my wife and me.
When the cashier told me how much my bill was, a lady in back of me told her to put it on her bill. Naturally I was surprised and turned to her and said, "Are you sure?" She said, "Yes," and thanked me for my service.
Then about three weeks later, I went to Griffin's Restaurant for our lunches. While waiting, a man got up from his table and walked up to me, shook my hand and said, "Thank you." Then he asked if my lunch was paid for yet. I told him yes, and he said that he would have liked to pay for it and thanked me again.
Last week, my wife was in the hospital, so I went to Griffin's for an outing by myself.
When I sat down in a booth, a man in the next booth and I acknowledged each other. When he finished eating, I saw him go to pay for his lunch. Later, the waitress came to me and told me that the man had paid for my lunch.
I was surprised and told her to thank him if she saw him again.
This past Saturday, I was in Rouses on St. Charles Street in Houma and in line to check out. I noticed the man before me giving the cashier some money and thought it was a tip for her. My bill was a little over $100, and as she finished ringing it up, I noticed my bill was just over $50. Then she told me that the man told her to pay some of my bill. Now, $50 is a lot of money to me.
Thank God for people like these, and may God bless them.
May God bless all veterans and the U.S.A.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The previous 24 hours had just delivered a double dose of bad news to Sharks forward Logan Couture and that only had to compound the disappointment.
First came Monday's decision to have surgery to fix a hand injury and that meant he would be out of the lineup an estimated three to four weeks. Then Tuesday morning he got the call informing him that he was not being named to Team Canada -- and that the decision was not related to his injury.
"It's pretty, pretty disappointing to not make that team," said Couture, who was considered a lock at one point by analysts familiar with the Team Canada process. "I thought I did everything I could to put myself up there. I mean, it's Team Canada. It's an impossible team to pick."
Couture got the call from Team Canada general manager Steve Yzerman himself. Even with the surgery, Couture could have been named to the team and later replaced because of the injury, but the Sharks forward said Yzerman told him he didn't make the team simply because there were better players available.
"I have a biased opinion," Couture acknowledged, "but I felt I should have been on that team. I've been left off a lot of teams in my past. Hopefully I can prove people wrong going forward."
Couture was not chosen for Canada's entry in the World Junior Championship when he played with the Ottawa 67s and he has cited that as motivation to succeed.
"Exactly," he said. "That's what I'm going to do. That's the only way you can deal with something like this — don't dwell on it, use it as motivation and go forward."
Couture said the injury occurred three or four weeks ago and the idea was to get it taken care of now rather than it be a bigger problem later.
"I wasn't practicing, had to numb it for games," he said, without going into the specific problem. "It just got to the point where I couldn't do that for the entire season. We figured we wanted to be back for the end of the year, so we timed it this way."
The surgery was timed to the Olympic break, he added, because that provides an extra three weeks to heal if necessary.
The Sharks have been hit hard by injuries at forward with five other players out with injuries or the flu.
"It's tough," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said of the loss of Couture. "He plays so many key minutes for us. I think we're probably going to have to, by committee, get those minutes and step up in his absence. I'm not sure how long he's going to be out for, but it's going to be a huge blow for us."

About the Book
While critics claim that a nefarious Israel Lobby dictates U.S. policy in the Middle East, the Arab Lobby in this country is older, richer, and more powerful than the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). The Arab Lobby is the first book in more than 25 years to investigate the scope and activities of this diffuse yet powerful network. Author Mitchell Bard courageously explores the invisible alliance that threatens Israel and undermines America's interests in the Middle East.
The so-called Israel lobby has been widely denounced and demonized in the global media, but as Mitchell Bard reveals, its power pales in comparison to the decades-long corruption of American interests by Arab governments. Indeed, for more than seventy years, U.S. policy in the Middle East has been shaped not by the power of a nefarious "Israel lobby" but by a misguided emphasis on pleasing and placating the Arab states. This outlook has ensured that the United States pays disproportionate attention to their demands, assisting Arab countries—all of them dictatorial regimes with abysmal human rights records—that do not share our values and often work to subvert our interests.
In this authoritative history, Bard provides a timely and valuable corrective to the unbalanced view of Middle East affairs that is so widely promoted today. Bard shows that the Arab Lobby's goals include feeding America's oil addiction, obtaining more sophisticated weaponry, and weakening our alliance with a democratic Israel. It also seeks to influence public opinion through a well-funded publicity campaign and by injecting distorted views of the Middle East into high school and college textbooks. Bard's valuable book brings a much-needed balance to a debate fraught with ignorance and propaganda.

Protecting Patient Privacy in a Digital World
Protecting Patient Privacy in a Digital World
01.30.13 | By Stephanie Fischer
For biopharmaceutical companies that rely upon volunteers to participate in clinical research on potential new medicines, protecting privacy has always been a priority. Striking the appropriate balance between sharing data to drive medical discoveries and keeping personal health information from being disclosed is critical.
According to recent articles in The Wall Street Journal and New York Times, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research found that by only using the Internet, they could identify people who had anonymously participated in studies and provided genetic samples. Using genealogy websites which publicly post limited genetic information taken from men's Y chromosomes and cross-checking it with other publicly available information, scientists determined the last names of people whose anonymous genetic information was available for science research.
Protection of Patient Safety and Privacy A Priority
Clinical trials are essential to the development of new medicines that save and improve lives, and the biopharmaceutical industry goes to great lengths to protect patient safety and privacy by encouraging programs that are scientifically rigorous and clinically productive. Guided by government regulation and oversight, international standards and industry principles, PhRMA member companies are committed to conducting clinical trials that:
- Follow standards and practices designed to protect patients, that are constantly evaluated and improved;
- Respect and protect the safety and privacy of participants, sponsoring clinical studies that fully comply with all legal and regulatory requirements;
- Adhere to international guidelines and standards designed to share clinical trial data and results, while maintaining the privacy of individual trial participants.
Sharing of Clinical Data Must Be Limited and in Context
Recent calls to release all patient-level trial data pose great risk to patient privacy and could serve as a deterrent to individuals considering participation in clinical trials. Without the participation of thousands of volunteers, clinical trials and the development of new medicines would be significantly delayed - if not impossible.
America's biopharmaceutical companies and other stakeholders in the research ecosystem are committed to ensuring that clinical research is scientifically and ethically rigorous, with the results responsibly communicated in the right context to healthcare professionals, patients, and the public through presentations at medical conferences, articles in medical journals and registration on clinicaltrials.gov, the clearinghouse of clinical trials maintained by the National Institutes of Health.

GENEVA (24 May 2013) – United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, Ben Emmerson, today welcomed US President Barack Obama's speech, and the publication of policy principles governing counter-terrorism operations, including targeted killings.
"This extremely important speech breaks new ground in a number of key respects. It affirms for the first time this Administration's commitment to seek an end to its armed conflict with Al Qaida as soon as possible; it reminds the world that not every terrorist threat or terrorist attack can be equated with a situation of continuing armed conflict; it sets out more clearly and more authoritatively than ever before the Administration's legal justifications for targeted killing, and the constraints that it operates under; it clarifies, and proposes improvements to, the procedures for independent oversight; and it sets out the steps the President is now resolved to take in order to close Guantanamo Bay.
"The publication of the procedural guidelines for the use of force in counter-terrorism operations is a significant step towards increased transparency and accountability. It also disposes of a number of myths, including the suggestion that the US is entitled to regard all military-aged males as combatants, and therefore as legitimate targets.
"I will be engaging with senior Administration officials in Washington over the coming days and weeks in an effort to put some flesh on the bones of the announcements made today.
"The President's historic statement today is to be welcomed as a highly significant step towards greater transparency and accountability; and as a declaration that the US war with Al Qaida and its associated forces is coming to an end. The President's principled commitment to ensuring the closure of Guantanamo is an utterly essential step.
"His acknowledgement that the time has come to tackle not only the manifestations of terrorism but also its social, economic and political causes around the world - to seek long term solutions - signals a shift in rhetoric and a move in policy emphasis towards promoting a strategy of sustainable and ethical counter-terrorism, consistent with Pillar I of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy*."
Ben Emmerson (United Kingdom) is the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism. On 1 August 2011, he took up his functions on the mandate that was created in 2005 by the former United Nations Commission on Human Rights and renewed by the United Nations Human Rights Council for a three year period in September 2010. As Special Rapporteur he is independent from any Government and serves in his individual capacity. Learn more, log on to: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Terrorism/Pages/SRTerrorismIndex.aspx

Artisans hand weave this wool rug with meticulous care, dotting the plush pile with a whimsical wild creature in one corner. The multicolor yarns create a lively, swirled effect, and the long-wearing wool is sheared to a smooth finish. Slightly uneven, hand-stitched edges enhance the handcrafted look.

Aspen Moreland is 12 years old and she was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and has undergone surgery and cancer treatment.
Following this ordeal the Make A Wish Foundation granted her a wish. Her wish was to meet Kiyoshi Yamazaki, the Chief International Instructor for the Japan Karate-do Ryobukai. This is an international Karate organization of which she is a member. Moreland is a student of Rick Senger's and the Lake Region Budokan, school of Martial Arts Devils Lake, and trains at the Grand Forks School under Taylor Azure. She got her wish and attended a seminar on November 30 through December 3, in Anaheim California.
Aspen's mother, Jennifer, is a nursing instructor for Lake Region State College, located in Mayville.
