NEW YORK -- At some point, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry will get to relish the elite company he's joined: the 50 club at Madison Square Garden.
But presently, the sting of Wednesday night's 109-105 loss, the critical turnover that he made down the stretch, dimmed his historic performance at basketball's mecca.
The same can't be said for everyone else.
"Incredible by Steph," the Warriors' Jarrett Jack said. "I have never been a part of anything like that in my life. He was uncanny. Unbelievable."
Said rookie Harrison Barnes: "That was greatness what we saw. You look at the people that have scored 50 in this building, it's unbelievable. I'm glad I just had the pleasure of being this man's teammate."
Sure, the Warriors lost their second straight game. Yes, they shot themselves in the foot down the stretch. But that was on hold as Curry lit up the New York Knicks for 54 points, obliterating his previous NBA high of 42.
"You can't really put it into words," Curry said. "It's kind of a numb feeling. Every shot you take, you know it's got a good chance of going in. You're kind of surprised when it doesn't. It's just kind of one of those experiences where it seems like time stands still a little bit."
Curry said it was the most points he's ever scored in an organized game, topping the 44 that he had while at Davidson.
Against varying defenses, Curry went 18 of 28 from the field. He knocked down a franchise-record 11 3-pointers, missing only two.
It's the most points scored at the Garden since Kobe Bryant dropped 61 in February 2009. It was the most points scored by a Warrior since Purvis Short had 59 in November 1984.
"We had to hope he missed. There is nothing anybody can do," said Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, who finished with 35 points and eight assists.
Golden State needed a big game from Curry since All-Star David Lee was not in the lineup. Lee was suspended for one game for his role in the skirmish at Indiana on Tuesday, leaving the Warriors down two starters -- Andrew Bogut missed his fourth straight game (back).
Curry, though, did more than just pick up the slack. He scored 51.4 percent of the Warriors' points. He also had seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in 48 minutes -- all team highs.
"It's crazy because he doesn't get the credit he deserves, " forward Carl Landry said of Curry. "He's been a guy that has led us the whole season, him and David Lee. ... That's why it's called a team because he can't do it alone. He did his part tonight. Unfortunately, the rest of us had tough nights."
Curry hit all kind of shots: catch-and-shoot, off the dribble, in transition, with a hand in his face, well behind the 3-point line, runners, midrange, finger rolls, bank shots.
He did it against point guards, defensive specialists. Off pick-and-rolls, on isolations.
"He put on a clinic," said the Warriors' Mark Jackson, a former Knicks great who made his coaching debut in the Garden. "He knocked down shots in all areas. I've seen a lot of great performances in his building and his goes up there. That shooting performance was a thing of beauty."
Despite not getting a rest during the game, and after playing big minutes in Tuesday's loss at Indiana, Curry scored 16 points in the fourth quarter.
One of his more ridiculous shots came with just inside of five minutes left. He collected a loose ball and pushed it up court. Despite having a two-on-one advantage, Curry pulled up on the fast break and drained a 25-footer, giving the Warriors a 100-99 lead.
The Knicks' J.R. Smith, who had 26 points off the bench, answered with a 3-pointer at the 4:42 mark.
Curry put the Warriors back up 103-102 with another 3-pointer. Golden State had a chance to add to the lead, but Curry killed a fast break with an errant pass.
That proved to be critical as it turned into a 3-pointer by Anthony. The Warriors trailed 105-103.
Two Curry free throws tied it 105. But the Warriors came up empty on their last three possessions. Raymond Felton blocked Curry's pull-up jumper, and Jack and Festus Ezeli committed turnovers.
Anthony iced the game with a jumper.
But not even the loss could take away from Curry's night. He is now one of 13 players to score at least 50 points in the Garden. At some point, that's going to hit him.
"It's always fun to come play here, whether you score 50 or 10 just because of the atmosphere and history," Curry said. "But to fight the way we did, being undermanned, it's kind of frustrating to not being able to pull it out."
At some point.
"It is what it is. It's a big chunk of money, but I guess I deserve it," Thompson said. "It's unfortunate it spilled in the stands. ... If it was kept on the court, I think it would be a lot different."
Jackson said he didn't agree with the league's decision. "I'm sure the film doesn't, either," he said.

About the Book
In Adele Ashworth's classic historical romance Stolen Charms, the privileged Natalie Haislett wishes to meet the Black Knight, a Robin Hood–type crook who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.
Against her better judgment, she enlists the help of Jonathan Drake, a known rogue who has left many hearts in his wake. Will Natalie be his latest conquest or will it be the Black Knight who'll capture her heart?
A suspenseful mystery with plenty of sexual tension and romance in Victorian England, Stolen Charms is a sophisticated, sultry read that will appeal to fans of Cathy Maxwell, Christina Dodd, and Lisa Kleypas.
The thief of hearts . . .
Bored with stuffy balls and pompous suitors, Miss Natalie Haislett longs for romance and adventure—and dreams of wedding England's most notorious thief, the Black Knight. To this end, she approaches the renowned rakehell Jonathan Drake, reputed to be a friend of Natalie's would-be lover, and begs him for an introduction . . . unaware that the outlaw she so desires is as close to her as a kiss.
Intrigued by Natalie's devotion and determination—and intending to use the unsuspecting beauty to pull off a brazen jewel theft—Drake agrees to escort Natalie to France, where the Black Knight is rumored to be. But while traveling in the guise of a married couple, an intimate friendship blossoms and the fires of reckless passion are stoked—as the daring bandit sets his sights on the priceless treasure he knows he must purloin: his lady's heart.

SAN MATEO -- Confirming the worst-case scenario, officials said Friday that one of the victims of Asiana Flight 214 was alive when she was run over and killed by at least one firetruck that had been dispatched to rescue survivors and extinguish flames from the burning Boeing 777.
The painful revelation raises uncomfortable questions about the response to the July 6 crash and has cast a shadow over a heroic response that saved most of the 307 passengers and crew aboard the doomed plane.
"There's not a lot of words to describe how badly we feel, how sorry we feel," San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said at a news conference with San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault.
"We commit to continue to examine our response that day," Hayes-White said. "Could we have done something different faced with the challenges we had in terms of passengers still on an aircraft that was engulfed in flames ... and the need to get to those flames? We had fuel leaking. It was a very dangerous and volatile situation."
Ye Mengyuan, the 16-year-old victim, was covered in firefighting foam when she was run over, San Francisco police said. Officials haven't said whether first responders made an effort to dig through the foam to search for victims, or explained how her body ended up covered in foam.
San Francisco firefighters do not train with fire-retardant foam at SFO "because of the environmental impact," fire department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said Friday. But when they train for possible plane crashes at other locations, San Francisco firefighters are taught that one of foam's many uses is to smother fumes from leaking jet fuel and other chemicals so they don't trigger a fire, Talmadge said.
Instead of focusing on breaking through fire-retardant foam to look for potential casualties, San Francisco firefighters instead are trained to maintain "a blanket of foam" -- and apply more if it starts to shrink in size to reduce any fire hazards, Talmadge said.
They key is to maintain that blanket," she said.
San Jose firefighters don't use fire or foam for their mandatory FAA drills at Mineta San Jose International Airport but said they do train with both during annual drills at either Moffett Federal Airfield or Salt Lake City.
But the presence of foam can quickly overwhelm a mock crash site, San Jose fire Capt. Cleo Doss said.
"When we do start dropping a lot of foam in the area it's like skiing in a whiteout condition," Doss said. "You can't see anything."
Doss saw photos of the foam covering the burning Boeing 777 at SFO and said it was "chest high."
An investigation continues to determine exactly which fire rig or rigs ran overYe. Fire officials previously said each of the five personnel operating rescue apparatus at the crash site passed drug and alcohol screenings in the ensuing investigation. Asked Friday if any firefighters face disciplinary action, Hayes-White said, "At this moment, no. I consider it a tragic accident."
Before Ye was run over, Foucrault said, "She was alive at the time." She died of "multiple blunt injuries that are consistent with being run over by a motor vehicle."
An examination of internal hemorrhaging ruled out any chance the girl was already dead when the truck hit her, Foucrault said.
The San Francisco Police Department, which continues to investigate Ye's death, said her body was discovered in tracks in the fire-retardant foam that had been left by one of the San Francisco Fire Department's Airline Rescue and Firefighting rigs.
Ye and 16-year-old Wang Linjia were found dead after the crash. The Chinese schoolmates were ejected from the plane after the tail snapped off when it crashed into the sea wall that abuts Runway 28 Left. Both girls were seated near the rear of the aircraft.
A third fatality was reported July 12 when 15-year-old Liu Yipeng, who was found in the wreckage still strapped to her seat, died from her injuries.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and Hayes-White have reached out to the Ye's family "to not only express our condolences and apologies but to also offer, if they are willing and interested, in sitting down so we can have a face-to-face meeting."
Asiana Airlines said in a statement that it "extends its sincere condolences to the families of all three of the decedents."
Retired San Jose Police Capt. Phil Beltran responded to a light plane crash that killed two men, and later drilled his team at Mineta San Jose International Airport on how to respond to the possibility of a commercial jetliner crash with mass casualties.
But no amount of drilling or mock exercises can prepare first responders for the chaotic site of a mangled jetliner, burning fuel, the screams of victims and the site of body parts, said Beltran, who ran the San Jose Police Department's airport division from 1997 to 2000 and is now the head of campus safety at Santa Clara University.
He remembered the "surreal" crash site near Lincoln High School in 1981 after a Piper Aerostar twin-engine plane landed in pieces, killing the two occupants who were the victims of a midair murder-suicide.
"There wasn't a part bigger than a foot and there was a fire pit where the engine went in and body parts everywhere," Beltran said "It was just two people but it was surreal. It was nothing you ever trained for."
Hayes-White has said that she did not think that any of the first responders had ever been through a similar emergency before.
Ken Burris, the former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency who responded to three plane crashes, told this newspaper that no amount of training can prepare first responders for the unique situations they will face in an actual crash of a commercial airliner.
"The difference is night and day," he said. "We try to simulate a live environment but it can't meet the real expectations of a very chaotic situation where there's a lot going on. It's all about trying to save the greatest amount of life in the shortest period of time."

Dress Drive
Every holiday season, the Sustainability Initiative, University Housing and Katie's Project partner together to collect prom dresses from students.
If you head home for the holiday break, take a moment to check your closets. Please donate your formal dresses, shoes, jewelry and accessories to a local organization called Katie's Project.
Dress Drive - Now until January 20, 2013
Donation Locations:
- Student Center Lobby
- Ingle Hall lobby
- Grand Strand Activity House
The mission of Katie's Project is to enhance the self worth and esteem of underprivileged youth by providing support in attending milestone social events and opportunities for positive development.
Prom is becoming increasingly more expensive for students and their parents. It's no surprise that not everyone can afford to spend hundreds on one night, however we can all remember the excitement and anticipation of our prom.
Our mission is to help students attend milestone events in their young lives that require formal attire. From prom to the school pagent, we are here to help by eliminating some of the stress and embarrassment associated with not being able to afford what costs an average $600 a person.
Inspired by one girl's school project and kept alive by the philanthropic efforts of local businesswoman, Kathy Foxworth, we've become an organization that thrives on the support of our community and functions year round.
Our Boutique is always accepting donations from both men and women of all ages. It is our goal to make sure everyone gets to enjoy prom in style and grace.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE --Hundreds of lights moving single-file down the mountain is quite a sight to behold.
It's also a fun tradition in which to participate.
Two-hundred-fifty skiers and snowboarders rode in this year's annual Torchlight Parade the night of Dec. 27, this reporter included. We started from the mid-station of Village Express lift and slowly snaked down to Base Village. Gliding down the hill in the falling snow, flare in hand, was a very peaceful experience - albeit not for my gloves, which will bear the marks of some rogue embers forever.
The evening remained quiet, since the snow prevented the scheduled fireworks display. However, anyone who got up the next morning to ride couldn't complain much as the storm dropped a fresh coat of powder on the mountain. And stay tuned, because Snowmass Tourism says it will reschedule the fireworks for another day.
Living in Aspen/Snowmass has presented me with a lot of unique opportunities. If you've never skied in the Torchlight Parade, I highly suggest it. I'm excited to see what it looks like from the base next year, but some things should be experienced by doing, not watching.

Every year, the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) releases projections for national health care spending, including projections on spending for specific health care services, such as hospitalizations, physician services, health insurance premiums and administrative costs, and prescription drugs.

Survey Finds Minority Communities Have Distinct Health Concerns, Face Barriers to Reaching Ideal Health

New Report Highlights How to Realize Full Public Health Benefits of Responsible Clinical Data-Sharing
Clinical trials are the primary means of testing the safety and efficacy of new medicines. The data generated from rigorous, highly controlled trials form the basis of regulatory decisions about whether to approve the treatment for use by patients.
It was like delivering a death sentence. When HIV/AIDS cases started appearing 30 years ago, and effective ways to combat or manage the deadly disease didn't exist, dealing with a positive HIV test with a patient was a harrowing experience for physician and patient alike.
Those afflicted soon felt isolated by an epidemic fraught with myths and misunderstood by a fearful society. But fast forward 33 years.
Looking back at the past 25 years of HIV/AIDS treatment, the progress that has been made can only be described as tremendous. Since 1995, with the development of the first protease inhibitors, the death rate in the U.S. from HIV/AIDS decreased by 83 percent.
Working with our tremendous partners in academia, research and community activism is one of the most rewarding things we do at PhRMA. This year, at the 3rd Annual Research and Hope Awards ceremony on September 10, we will celebrate the inspiring stories of individuals who have helped advance the fight against HIV/AIDS. And their efforts are worth admiring.
Astellas US President Jim Robinson said in a guest post this week, "We are on the cusp of amazing progress in U.S. biopharmaceutical research and development," and he is right. With more than 3,400 medicines in development in the U.S., patients are seeing new treatments bring hope for the future. Thanks to innovation, we are helping more patients than ever before.
While the Majority of Americans Report It Has Been A Good Health Year, Americans with Chronic Health Issues Are Less Optimistic
While the majority of Americans (66 percent) report they have had a good year when it comes to their personal health, that hasn't necessarily been the case for all of us, particularly for those dealing with certain chronic health issues.
We are on the cusp of amazing progress in U.S. biopharmaceutical research and development, but without policies that help attract and retain research-based companies and partnerships to help bring new medicines to patients, we run the risk of losing our country's competitive advantage.
Yesterday, the latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report was released examining projected long-term federal spending, including that of Medicare.

Qualifying Report: Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach
LONG BEACH, Calif. April 20, 2013—Chemistry is hard to define but when a team has it, people notice. And people are noticing Takuma Sato and A.J. Foyt's ABC Supply team as they have been fast from the start of this season. For both driver and team, it is the best start to the IZOD IndyCar Series season in recent memory.
Sato qualified fourth in the No. 14 ABC Supply Honda for the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach today. It is his second appearance in the Firestone Fast Six qualifying round in three events. And if not for an official's ruling at the last race at Barber Motorsports Park, Sato would have been three for three in the Fast Six. That feat would have put him in the company of Team Penske drivers Will Power and Helio Castroneves. As the record stands, Sato joins defending IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay and rookie Tristan Vautier as drivers to have two Fast Six appearances this season.
"It's been an interesting day and certainly a good day to be able to get into the Firestone Fast Six and set the fourth quickest lap," said Sato, whose previous best start on the 11-turn, 1.9 mile street course was sixth [2012]. However, last year he benefitted from grid penalties for unapproved engine changes levied to the Chevrolet-powered teams--as did the Foyt team which started seventh with driver Mike Conway.
This time there were no gimmes.
However, there was a little consternation in the ABC Supply camp after this morning's practice which saw Sato 17th in the speed ranking. Since he was third in Friday's morning session and ninth in the afternoon session (with very limited laps due to so many red flags), this morning's result surprised chief engineer Don Halliday. Pouring through the data with assistant engineer Raul Prados, the team found the right combination in time for qualifying Saturday afternoon.
"We had a little struggle in the last practice session to get the balance right but we worked really hard to find extra speed," Sato said. "In qualifying I was able to push really hard and happy to be in the second row. Obviously you always want more speed to be in the front row but the team did a good job and we've shown consistent speed through the last three events. With my best starting position at Long Beach so far, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's race."
Qualifying at a speed of 105.042 mph, Sato will line up alongside Will Power (105.118 mph - Chevy) and behind the front row of pole winner Dario Franchitti (105.369 mph - Honda) and Ryan Hunter-Reay (105.282 mph - Chevy). Conway, making his first start of the season, posted a 104.806 mph lap to start fifth in his Honda-powered car. Castroneves (104.235mph – Chevy) rounded out the top six.
There will be a final warmup session tomorrow morning before the race starts at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. NBC Sports Network will begin its race coverage at 4 p.m. ET.
When Sato was asked about his race strategy tomorrow, he replied simply, "Go fast."

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, March 20, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Life is peaceful and generally quiet along Wire Road for Dennis Hooks.
"I moved out here in 1983, and we got a lot of people out here getting some age on them," Hooks said. "You know, elderly people."
But for about the past year and a half, a proposed chicken farm is stirring controversy between Hooks and many of his neighbors.
"My house is probably about 100 feet behind us, and right across the road here is where the chicken houses are going to be built," said Hooks, as he walked News 12 across his property.
News 12 first told you about the plans to build four large chicken houses across the street from the number of homes. After a heated public meeting by hosted by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control at Aiken Middle School in October 2011, the farm was approved, but this Thursday morning, it'll face one final hurdle. The plan will go before the South Carolina Administrative Law Court in Columbia.
"This is what we're going to have to live with day and night, and he's talking about four chicken houses 500-foot long, and then you talking about big trucks coming in and out hauling this stuff," Hooks said.
But Hooks, who actually used to work in a chicken house, is most concerned about the smell and how it could affect neighbors on oxygen and even his two grandchildren who probably live closest to the proposed site.
"They miss a lot of school, and they've been in the hospital on several different occasions with asthma," he said.
Hooks says he and the other neighbors face long odds on Thursday, but even with defeat, they won't be done.
"If the chicken houses are built, I would think down the road that there are probably going to be some lawsuits filed. I will certainly file a lawsuit," Hooks told News 12.
David Ruth, owner of the land called High Cotton Farms, would not comment about the hearing or about possible civil lawsuits, either.
Hooks says the neighbors have notes from 13 different doctors saying their health will be affected, but Hooks says a DHEC doctor tells them the wind won't blow in their direction too often.
It'll go before Judge Ralph King Anderson III at 10 a.m. Thursday in the Edgar A. Brown building in the South Carolina Capitol Grounds.
News 12 will let you know what they decide.

You'll want to cross paths with these cookies inspired by Dora's Halloween costume. Whip up some whiskers and ears and you've got yourself a festive, feline, kid-favorite treat!
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Knead the cookie dough with the flour on a work surface until smooth. Cut the dough in half, refrigerating half until ready to use. Roll out one half on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use the Dora Cat Template and a small paring knife to cut out as many shapes as possible. Transfer the dough pieces to the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Re-roll the scraps and roll out the other half of dough.
Bake until the cookies are just golden and firm, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
While cookies are baking, you can make the frosting. Combine the confectioners' sugar, egg white powder, and 5 tablespoons of the water in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed. Add an additional 1 tablespoon of water and beat until just smooth and thick. While you're not working, keep covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
Now you will make six colors of royal frosting and spoon into separate plastic resealable bags. Use 3 tablespoons of the royal frosting for each color and tint pink, black, red, and light brown with the food coloring and spoon. Divide the remaining royal frosting in half. Tint one half of the frosting dark brown and spoon into a plastic resealable bag. Tint the remaining half pale beige with the brown and red food coloring and thin slightly with a few drops of water.
Spread the face area of the cookies with the pale beige frosting in a thin layer and let dry at least 1 hour.
Snip a very small corner (1/8 inch) from the bags with the tinted frostings. Pipe ears with the pink frosting, eyes with the white frosting, and hair with the dark brown frosting. Then pipe the light brown eyes, nose, and outline of the face. Pipe the red mouth. Pipe the black outline of the ears, whiskers, and pupils. Let cookies dry at least 2 hours before stacking.

Spa Profile: Park Weggis
Park Weggis
In his 1880 work A Tramp Abroad, Mark Twain wrote, "the beauty of the lake [Lucerne] had not been exaggerated… in truth, a trip on that lake is almost the perfection of pleasuring." Indeed, guests can attain such pleasure at Park Weggis' Sparkling Wellness center, ranked 2012's Best Day Spa in the Swiss business magazine Bilanz. The stately hotel opened in 1875 along the banks of Lake Lucerne, with the snowy summits of Mt. Pilatus, Mt. Rigi, etc., unfolding before it. But Twain, who once stayed at the resort, would be astonished today by the Tibetan influence that has since taken glorious hold of the resort.
The Sparkling Wellness center consists of six traditional, Japanese-style wood and stone cottages discreetly tucked behind the resort's 19th-century buildings, among a garden of rocks and 100-plus-year-old, imported bonsai trees. This decidedly Eastern accent is a major selling point,
says manager Brigitte Bünder. "We always try to be different and ahead of our competitors, and were the first to add private spa cottages. Our Tibetan treatments are also unique in Switzerland," asserts Bünder, who received a 2012 Wellness Aphrodite award for Best Spa Manager from the German magazine Top Hotel.
After China seized the Himalayan kingdom and the Dalai Lama fled, many Tibetans went into exile; but some, drawn by the Alps that reminded them of home, relocated to Switzerland. "We offer authentic treatments using herbs, oils and stones from Tibet," reports Bünder. "Our Tibetan therapists are educated in their ancient culture of massage. Many have trained in Tibetan monasteries or schools."
Park Weggis holds particular appeal for Americans, who Bünder says are "searching for a more private atmosphere. They are really impressed when they see that there are private rooms to rent with sauna or steam bath, Jacuzzi, cold water pool with natural river stones, waterbed and a surround-sound media system." Yet, there is also space for family or friends, she says, adding, "Swiss tradition is to join with others for a time-out in a public sauna, steam bath and wellness area." She concludes that American and Swiss citizens share high expectations with regard to the quality of a spa's interior design, atmosphere, products and treatments. Weggis' newest offering is a stem cell center led by famed cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Harald Gerny, which offers state-of-the-art serums paired with meso needling techniques.
Nevertheless, the economy is having its expected impact. "Our hotel and spa is affected by the difficult economy in Europe and the strong Swiss Franc," Bünder confesses. "Switzerland has become more expensive for foreign tourists, and Swiss citizens take advantage of the situation to travel abroad more often." She's quick to add, however, that "in Switzerland one still gets excellent value for their money."
To help counter the effect of economic realities, the resort taps into its reputation. "We are a member of the Swiss Deluxe Hotel association, and part of the international Relais & Châteaux organization," says Bünder. "Through these associations we are marketed worldwide via guides, websites, newsletters, etc. We also often take part in showcases or road shows in Switzerland and worldwide, organized by the aforementioned organisations or by Switzerland or Lucerne tourism." The spa also participates in beauty exhibitions, and publicizes its activities online via its own marketing and public relations department.
In the end, though, this business thrives the same way as do spas all over the world. As Bünder proudly maintains, "The best marketing is still the word-of-mouth recommendations from our guests!"

text: .... but I should mention that I have very little description to give as clues, so I realize this might not be doable. I read this vampire novel over 20 years ago. What I remember of it is that the vampires lived and rampaged sort of like evil motorcycle gangs. The vampires seemed to be taking over LA or some other part of California maybe. I think it was set in the western US because if I remember correctly the salt water from the pacific ocean played an important role in the conclusion of the story. That's all I have accept for a vague memory of thinking it was an okay time filler between Stephen King novels (now I fill time between ASoIaF novels). If you have any ideas from this really poor description please let me know. Thanks!

The Ashland City Council unanimously voted Tuesday night to direct the Ashland Conservation Commission to study a proposal to ban plastic shopping bags in town and develop a recommendation for the council.
Mayor John Stromberg said he wants the Conservation Commission to get input from Ashland merchants who have already voluntarily eliminated plastic bags from their stores.
At least four Ashland grocery stores — Albertsons, the Ashland Food Co-op, Shop'n Kart and Market of Choice — have cut plastic bags from their stores.
Councilor Greg Lemhouse said he would like the commission to thoroughly flesh out the pros and cons of a plastic bag ban and present those findings to the council.
Portland-based Environment Oregon launched a campaign on Monday to persuade councilors to ban plastic shopping bags.
The group helped win bans in Portland, Eugene and Corvallis.

LODI - It's not something you hear every day, but a dispute over a woman led to a Stockton man losing part of his ear.
James Boco Jr., 39, of Stockton, and Esteban Zapata, 38, of Lodi, began fighting over a woman near the gas pumps at the Costco on Reynolds Ranch Parkway. According to Lt. Sierra Brucia of the Lodi Police Department, the woman in question is the ex-wife of one of the combatants and is now dating the other, although Brucia did not know the specifics of the relationships.
At some point during the fight, Zapata bit off part of the ear of Boco, and was arrested for felony mayhem and booked in Lodi's jail. Boco was cited for battery and released. Both men needed medical attention after the altercation.

I'm still here! I hate posting from my phone so I normally only update when I'm at work. My daughter and I finished Week 6 up on Friday with a 15R; 3W; 5R. We were down the shore so we got up around 6:30 and ran the boardwalk. It was much better than the street. Today we have our first 20 minute run. I'm nervous but so ready to tackle this!
Keep the updates coming. Geo - I hope you are seeing a doctor for your spells. Could it be migraines?
Good morning everyone! This is only my second time posting, but I've been enjoying the inspiration of everyone.
I just lost a whole week of training . A few weeks ago my knee started to bother me and I just thought it was another out of shape muscle getting used to all of this, so I kept running. Bad idea! Turns out I tore some tendons and it got really bad last Monday when I forced it too much. I've been ordered to rest it, ice it, and do strengthening exercises. It's almost completely better now and after seeing the doctor tonight I hope he gives the thumbs up to get back out there.
I was just starting W5 when this happened and now I feel like I need to repeat at least a day of W4 to ease back into it. So annoying as everyone else is going into at least W6 now.
Thanks in part to keeping up with this thread though, I'm not going to quit. I'm still motivated. A little delayed, but not out of the game.
Thanks to you all for keeping me on track through this rough patch. I'm glad to see everyone getting past their own struggles and not giving up!
*** One last thing. My Display Name isn't showing on my posts. It wants to show my first and last even though I unchecked the box to show publicly. Is anyone having this problem? Know how to fixt it? ***
Hi all - I have been on vacation and had the best intentions, but never did get a run in However, once home, I went right back to where I left off. I thought I might have to repeat a day (I was at W6D3 which is a 25 minute run). I thought I will just go as far as I can and if I have to walk, so be it. However -- I did it!!! The last 3 minutes was hard, but at that point I was so close, I thought I would try and stick it out. This morning I did W7D1. I have even picked up my pace a little -- although seriously slow compared to my husband and son -- so I don't go with them anymore! LOL
Lauramom -- don't worry about repeating a day -- many of us (myself included) have repeated at least once if not more). The fact that you are back out there again is powerful and you should rejoice in the fact that you didn't give up! As my son told me after I didn't run on vacation -- you can spend 30 days making a habit and it only takes one day to break it!!! Glad you already realize it and know that to do SOMETHING is better than doing nothing.
As for the name thing -- it freaked me out at first too -- but I think while you are signed in YOU see your own name -- once I log out, I only see my screen name. Hope this helps.
Ok third time's the charm, right. I just started W4D1 for the third time. This time I did it! I think what's killing me is not the last 5 minute run, but the short recovery time before it - only 1:30 minutes. I noticed on W5 there are three 5 minute runs, but the recovery time between each is 3 minutes. I actually think that might be easier. But I'm going to go ahead and finish out this week at the W4 pace and forge on ahead next week. Thank you to all of you who keep me on track with your support and inspiration!
W6D1 completed at weekend - I'm having real trouble fitting in runs, seems I can either manage to do consecutive days or have to wait a couple of days in between, so am falling behind a bit. I don't want to miss out the rest day, so am sometimes running just twice a week instead of three times. W6D1 is back to intervals after the 20 min run at the end of W5, so I made the mistake of setting off too fast, thinking I could easily manage 5 mins at a time - and I did, but did I feel it at the end of the session! So I'm going back to running the intervals slowly at the same pace as the longer runs - I'll try to speed up once I've graduated the program, and maybe start over again, jogging slowly for the walk intervals and more quickly for the running ones.
Just ran for twenty straight minutes for the first time in my forty years! I am so pumped. I'm embarassed how many times in my life I said I just can't run. With the plan I'm using (5K Runner) there's no going back to intervals. So this is it - gradually increasing runs until I'm up to 35 minutes. Technically I could be done by next week. Amazing.
Thank you so much to everyone in this group. Please keep posting.
Hey everyone, still here also. Completed W7D1 this morning. It was a good 25 minute run. I didn't walk at all, which I am happy about, but I was only able to do 2.25 miles instead of the 2.5 miles that it was supposed to be by the time 25 minutes ran out. Figure that since D2 & D3 this week are both 25 minutes also, maybe I can improve my speed a bit. Gotta say, I do love these cool, early morning runs. I crossed paths with another runner this morning too and got a wave. Funny thing is, that wave made me feel more like a "runner" than the 2 miles runs I have been doing!
@lauramom Glad to have you! Don't worry about where you are in relation to everyone else. We are all running and that is all that matters! BTW, I was worried about my name showing up too.
@Missouristar Keep it up and don't fret repeating. The longer runs will be there waiting for you whenever you get to them! No hurry.
@Tis Time was my issue since I work four 10s. I didn't want to miss any time with my daughter before her bedtime so I made the decision to drag my bones out of bed early. I have to say that I love running in the early morning too! Not sure what I will do once it is winter, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
@mb Great job on the 20R! Isn't is a cool feeling being able to say that you can run for 20 minutes straight!
@mom2 We are on the same day! Your W6D3 was a 25R? My program only asked for a 22R. This week is a 25R for me. Congrats on jumping right back in after time off!
Keep it up everyone!
C25k completed 7/27/2012
1st 5k: Alert Road Race 6/15/2013 - 34 minutes
Hi everyone! I'm sorry I didn't respond to several encouraging posts, but I was on vacation and really only signed on the one day. I have been receiving everyone's posts through email and you are all so inspiring! I did W5D3 yesterday and tackled the 20 minute run. However, I am thinking of skipping W6D1 because it seems like a step backwards. W6D2 and 3 look more appropriate. I guess I'll just do day 2 twice this week. I have no idea how well I'm doing for distance, because I'm using my ipod touch (I don't have an iphone-yet! Waiting for the 5). I'm signed up for a 5K at the end of September, so I guess I can work on improving my speed once I'm finished with the app, or do TisforTiara's idea and use the app to jog the walks and run the jogs.
I thought my real name was showing up too, but it's what we see when we are signed on. Once you sign off, go back and look at the thread. It will show your display name. That is what the public sees.
Wow looks like almost everyone checked in. Hopefully the rest will soon. Loving all the updates.
mb: Great job for you and your daughter. The boardwalk run sounds nice. You must be so pumped that you did the 20 minutes. You should be so proud.
I've been seeing Doctor's about it for a year. Not migraines as I don't get headaches with them. Their best guess is some sort of seizures. (Those aren't the only type of spells I have.) They want to do inpatient testing and I have a 4 year old. I just don't trust anyone to watch him for days while they test for that. Other than a few times when I had to (Maybe 3) I haven't even driven since last year because of this. Even if they did the testing they can't rule out seizures just because I don't have one. Rarely I will have it happen twice a day, but most often it's once or twice a week. Only there are frequent times when I don't have one for 2 or 3 weeks.
Lauramom I think when you see the thread you see your real name (annoying BTW) but everyone else sees your screen name. At least I see my name but everyone replies to me with GeoWolf.
I'm sorry you got benched. I know how that feels. I was going to start a May group after I did my W1D3 jog. but I fell and lost almost a month. (some of that because of an illness and death in the family.) I hope your doctor gives you the OK to get back to it. Don't worry about a week I know that I'll be here past 9 weeks even if things go perfectly, and I'm not sure I won't be repeating weeks. I will commit to stick around as long as anyone on this thread needs support. I want to see us all reach our goals.
If it hadn't been for the injury I'd say that a week is nothing you should be able to pick up where you left off. But I think with one you are not sure about repeating a day is likely a good thing. See what your doctor thinks. Looking forward to your update.
Mom2: Good for you getting back into it. It's hard to run when you are on vacation. So many other things going on. I wanted to start C25K back again in Feb but I knew I was going to CO for a week and I was sure that jogging at 8,000+ feet was not going to work even if I found the time to try it. We went so hard most of the time that I know there was no way I'd have kept up. If I go to FL to visit family I will keep up with it because I don't really consider that a vacation. Even if I did it's one thing to try and keep up jogging after C25K it's another to do it in the first few weeks. We are glad to have you back.
Missouri: Congratulations on doing the jogs. When you are feeling winded or your legs are tired those longer walks can be a godsend. I actually found that after W4's short breaks they seemed a little long to me. Held myself back after the 1st run but when I knew I only had one more I went at 4 minutes and tossed in some extra when I was still feeling good. For me adding some extra time if I can without struggling too much gives me a boost so the next level doesn't seem quite so scary. I'm having trouble keeping track of all the different programs and who is doing what. How quickly does your week jump? Or would you rather not look and worry?
Tiara: WTG on the run. As for the time just keep reminding yourself that you are worth it. This is good for your body and your soul. My feeling is if you want to step it up start out at your normal pace and when you get to a point that you are sure you can finish then step it up if you want to. Otherwise just do the speed up after you complete the program.
Camaro: 25 minutes is awesome. Don't sweat the distance right now if you are going for time. I know it's hard not to, but if you try to run out of your comfort zone it could cause problems. I do hope you make the distance by the end of the week, but if you don't you will soon. I'd love to get that wave, but I've never seen another jogger on my street at any time and I've lived here for about 10 years. I guess I'll have to wait until I'm somewhere less rural. Maybe when I'm in FL next time.
Sunni: Congratulations. I'm so jealous of all the 20 minute plus jogs posted tonight. It's making me want to go out and try it tonight. I know bad idea and I have no intention of trying it, but I am dying to. I agree about W6D1. I can't figure it out it seems like such a huge backward step. I've always been confused by week W5D3 thru W6D2. It just seems out of order and like they should move the 20 minute jog to the end of those days. I'd say to do what you are comfortable with. That's what I do. Let us know how it works out for you.
As much as I want to jog now I'm thinking I might not make it past tomorrow night before I go for it. But I'll wait and see how my legs feel. They are a little sore right now. I've been doing some stretches trying to work the soreness out.
Get up and try again! I think I must be setting a record for how many times I've been sidelined in my quest to actually run an entire 5K. Back injury, bronchitis, knee injury, bad cold, broken toe, biopsy. I am determined to make it.
2013 - Gritty Goddess Mud Run (Run/Walk)
2013 - Firefly Run (Run/Walk)
2014 - ??
My 6 year old ran in the Gritty Kids Mud Run and I couldn't keep up. LOL
WTG everyone! It sounds like everyone is doing great and progressing well!
Just a quick check in. I did W6D2 on Saturday and felt good. Was supposed to do W6D3 thus morning, but I was in a wreck yesterday afternoon and rolled my Tahoe several times. The good news is I'm fine--just some scratches, bruises, and sore muscles. But I'm gonna take a few days off to recuperate. Figure I'll play it by ear on running again. Shouldn't be more than a few days.
Good luck to everyone! I love reading about everyone's progress. It pushes me to get up and go on the days I don't feel like it.
OMG @KristiRPhTX: I'm glad you are all right! What a close call. Definitely take a few days off to recover and make sure you are ok.
Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. You are all doing so well and it's exciting to read about each day. The doctor wants me to be pain free for a week (maybe two) before running. I know it's for the best, but I'm dying to get out there. I'll follow doctor's orders though.
I still get to feel involved by coming here and keeping up with all the progress. It's keeping me motivated and excited to get back on the program.
Keep up the good work!!!
....oh, and thanks for explaining the display name thing. That is really odd.
Wow KristiRPhTX, lucky escape. Glad you're OK. Like Lauramom says, take a few days out and look after yourself. Lauramom, hope you're feeling better soon, and glad the messages are keeping you motivated, you'll be back out running with us soon, I hope.
I had a bit of sad news this weekend - my husband and I are divorcing. Not so bad as it sounds, as we've been separated for nearly eight years, but he's moving overseas in January and so it's probably time to make it formal. Really happy for him moving on, but sad to see him go - we got together when I was still in my teens, so he's one of my oldest and best friends. So running's been my therapy. Well, running, my good friends, my children and chocolate all together.
But back to the program - W6D2 done, no more walking intervals, just straight running from now on. Really enjoyed tonight's run, just got into a rhythm and went for it. Looking forward to doing more of the long runs, just switching on the music and switching off the brain, and running just for the joy of it.
Wow Kristi, glad you are alright!
Tis, sorry about your bad news, hope it all works out for the best for you!
C25k completed 7/27/2012
1st 5k: Alert Road Race 6/15/2013 - 34 minutes
@Kristi - so glad you're o.k.
@Tis sorry for your news. Glad running has become therapy for you though. I find it so nice to just be one with the music and my body - oh, and that voice that tells me when to run/walk! LOL.
I ran W6D1 this morning. It was so hot even at 6 a.m., but I worked through it. It was a 10r 5w 10r today and it felt pretty good. I got into a nice rhythm and the breathing is coming...it's not great yet, but I think as my body gets used to what I'm doing it's getting a little better each time. Hoping it cools down in the morning as I get closer to the longer runs...
I lurk more than post here, but the positive comments and knowing that we're all in this together is very helpful to me! So, thank you for sharing your struggles and your advice. It means a lot.
Keep up the great work everyone!

Portland, Oregon - March 4, 2014 – After a two year absence, Oregon farmers and producers will again be able to claim a tax credit for food donations to hunger relief groups around the state. Today the Oregon House of Representatives unanimously endorsed SB 1541, which comes on the heels of a unanimous vote by the Senate on February 14. Governor Kitzhaber is expected to sign the bill.
"I am pleased to see the Legislature send the crop donation bill to the Governor's desk for signature. This legislation represents the convergence of Oregon agriculture and the food bank network coming together to help feed Oregon's hungry population," said Barry Bushue, President of Oregon Farm Bureau Federation.
Backed by farmers, businesses and organizations across the state, including the Oregon Farm Bureau and the Oregon Food Bank, the legislation gives farmers and producers a 15% tax credit on the wholesale price of their donation. "Oregon farmers and producers have always shown great generosity to food banks and pantries," said Susannah Morgan, CEO of Oregon Food Bank. "This legislation increases their opportunities to provide fresh, healthy food to feed hungry people."
The tax credit is an inexpensive solution to a big problem. Oregon's unemployment rate remains above the national average and in an average month, more than 260,000 Oregonians need help in getting enough to eat. Every $1 in tax credit will bring in 11 pounds of donated food, at least 2.25 million plates of food will be available each year to hungry children, seniors, people with disabilities and others in need. The cost to taxpayers is estimated at only 11 cents per meal.
About Oregon Food Bank With sufficient public will and support of the entire community, we believe it is possible to eliminate hunger and its root causes. Oregon Food Bank collects and distributes food through a network of four Oregon Food Bank branches and 17 independent regional food banks serving Oregon and southwest Washington. The Oregon Food Bank Network helps nearly 1 in 5 households fend off hunger. Oregon Food Bank also leads statewide efforts to increase resources for hungry families and to eliminate the root causes of hunger through advocacy, nutrition education, garden education, and helping communities strengthen local food systems. For more information visit oregonfoodbank.org

Editor's note: This is the second in a five-part series looking at the potential candidates and issues of the 2012 municipal elections in Summit County. Each story will focus on the political landscape of a different town. Attempts to contact some candidates were unsuccessful.
There are already five possible hats in the ring for the three seats that will open up on the Dillon Town Council in April, including that of Kevin Burns, who is looking to fill the void left by his mother, Lucinda Burns.
Lucinda Burns said she will step down from the council in April.
"It's really a time-constraint issue for me," she said. "I certainly enjoyed being on the town council, I just need to create some more time in my life."
Burns is also the director of Early Childhood Options, a local nonprofit.
But her son, Kevin Burns, who graduated from Hampshire College in Massachusetts with a degree in political science, is ready to take over her seat.
"I think the town's moving in a direction toward getting more people into the downtown area," said Burns, a Summit County native who now works for a local PR firm, Summit Information Services. "That's very exciting for the town. ... I want to continue doing that kind of work."
But Burns wasn't the only candidate enthralled by the opportunities to strengthen downtown Dillon. Several candidates, including newcomer Erik Jacobsen, also put an enriched and reinvigorated downtown on their priority lists.
"I think the key issue is really the economy," said Jacobsen, a financial advisor. "Especially on a local level, to allow the town to do whatever it takes to attract businesses and get some economic growth."
The Dillon Town Council approved the implementation of a "tax increment financing district" (TIF), which is expected to help fund redevelopment.
Incumbents John Mackey and Doug Roessel's seats are also up for grabs in April. Mackey could not be immediately reached for comment, but Roessel has announced plans to seek re-election this spring.
"I'm trying to keep the things the current council has put in place ... rolling," said Roessel, owner of Elevation Fitness and Academy of Rock.
Terry King, a fresh face on the Dillon political scene, is also considering a run for office.
"I had never run for any kind of public office before, but I have a lot of management ability," said King, an accountant turned ski instructor who moved to Summit County from Mississippi four years ago. "I had a lot of financial background and I thought I could put those talents of mine to good use. I've been semi-retired, but I miss the action of some of those things I used to do."
Vicki Menzer, who could not be immediately reached for comment, has also picked up a candidate petition, though that does not constitute a firm commitment to run for office.
The candidates must turn in a petition with signatures of registered Dillon voters supporting their run to the town clerk's office by March 2 to get their names on the ballot.
Only Dillon residents will be allowed to vote in the town's municipal election April 3.
