All those extra hours and early-morning practices are finally paying off for Palmer Chaplin.
The Warriors' freshman point guard played beyond his years Tuesday in a 42-41 overtime win against Truckee. Chaplin tore up the court with 25 points and a game-winning shot in overtime in front of a home crowd.
"This was the type of game we hoped for when we gave him the ball as the point guard back in November," Whittell coach Phil Bryant said. "We knew he had it in him to score and he finally produced the type of game he is capable of."
It was a back-and-fourth game all night, with Chaplin leading the Warriors' charge.
The Warriors took a 23-19 halftime lead. They extended it by three more in the third, but hit a wall in the fourth. Truckee tied the game at 37-37 to force overtime.
"We had several opportunities to win it in the last few minutes of the fourth but turned it over a couple of times and missed some free throws," Bryant said.
The Wolverines struck first in overtime with a 2, but Chaplin answered back with a 3-pointer. The Warriors then got a stop and ran some clock, but missed the go ahead shot.
Truckee took advantage, dropping another 2 to go up 41-40 with time running out.
Whittell had enough time for a final drive, and Chaplin delivered. He hit a game-winning floater in the lane in the last 5 seconds of overtime.
Chaplin's performance was all the more key, with Whittell's usual leading scorers having off nights.
Austin Neil was in foul trouble early and only played about two minutes of the first half. He had a solid second half in rebounds; especially late in the game, but just couldn't get going offensively.
Garrett Bronken had a strong floor game, and Mark Waite, Rodney Aguirre and Bryce Bronken were all tough on defense.
"I was really proud of the effort after the tough loss we had at South Tahoe. Truckee is physical, but not anything like South Tahoe," Bryant said. "We need to be a little more prepared for that type of game since we have South Tahoe again and will face tough play in zone."
Zone begins Feb. 14 at Elko High School. Before zone, the Warriors will travel to Sparks(13-8, 8-2) for what is sure to be a physical rematch Friday. Whittell is now 12-8 overall and 2-5 in Mount Rose League Play. Truckee is 8-11 overall and 3-7 in Mount Rose League play.
"The sportsmanship was a great thing to see last night," Bryant said. "Even with a tough loss, the Truckee players were great sports in the line after the game and as they were leaving. It was nice to see that on the court all night long."

"What's wrong with this picture?" asks Green Day vocalist-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong near the conclusion of "Cuatro!" "There's absolutely nothing (expletive) wrong with this picture!"
He's talking about a particular point in time, yet his response to his own question also serves as a fitting summary to this motion picture. The Tim Wheeler-directed "Cuatro!" is a well-made, properly paced and vastly interesting documentary about the 1 ½ years Green Day put into making its three latest albums — "Uno!," "Dos!" and "Tre!," all of which were released in a span of just over two months in the fall.
There's plenty of humor and high jinks to be found here, with Green Day acting like the 21st century version of the Beatles in "A Hard Day's Night." Some will certainly knock "Cuatro!" for eschewing any real evidence of Armstrong's substance abuse problems, which would become very public knowledge soon after the filming. Yet, I really enjoyed the focus on Green Day as a band of brothers -- guys who have been through so much together and who are still creating meaningful music after 25 years in the business.

Credit: Remarkable Current.
NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)--Tyson Amir has plenty to rap about without denigrating and endangering women.
"Rap culture has exploited women so much for so long," said the Bay Area artist, who rejects the idea that to be successful you have to sell sex and promiscuity.
Amir raps in his song "I ain't the type" that he is "the marrying type; I'm the one-woman type." He goes on to say, "No disrespect, don't get your feelings hurt. It's still all good / Just keep your head up, treat yourself right and you'll be cool/ You must got me confused with those other dudes/ I ain't the type, there's just certain things I just don't do."
Amir, 33, an independent rapper, is a member of Remarkable Current, a Los Angeles collective of people involved in the recording business --musicians, writers and producers--aiming to build bridges with communities around the world through a message of universal peace and unity.
Since 2006, Remarkable Current, in partnership with the U.S. State Department, has been touring the globe with performances and meetings designed to foster peaceful dialogue between the United States and the rest of the world. Turkey, Indonesia and Jerusalem have been some of the stops on the tour. More recently, Remarkable Current traveled to Tunisia after the beginning of the Arab Spring for a series of performances and collaboration with local artists.
"There are consequences and there is a context in which we say things," said Amir in a recent phone interview, referring to the by-now infamous date-rape lyrics that caused hip hop star Rick Ross on April 11 to lose his spokesperson position at Reebok, the sportswear giant, under protest pressure from UltraViolet, the online anti-sexism collective.
In his latest song "U.O.E.N.O.," Ross raps: "Put Molly all in her champagne/ She ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it." Molly is the powder or crystal form of pure MDMA, a substance typically found in ecstasy.
Online Protest
To protest the song, UltraViolet launched one of its online petitions, which garnered nearly 100,000 signatures, demanding that Reebok drop the rapper-mogul, who had an endorsement deal with the Massachusetts-based company and promoted its shoes in print and through TV commercials. The entertainment website TMZ estimated the value of the Ross-Reebok deal at almost $5 million.
"While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse," Reebok said in a statement.
After Reebok's decision, UltraViolet said in a statement that "We are thrilled to hear that Reebok is joining the fight against rape culture and dropping Rick Ross. This sends a strong message that rapping about drugging and raping an unconscious woman is not only morally wrong, but has real consequences."
UltraViolet was founded by Nita Chaudhary and Shaunna Thomas and launched its first campaign in February 2012 to reverse the decision by the breast cancer foundation, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, to cancel its funding for Planned Parenthood. More recently, the group launched a campaign on April 23 calling on organic food company Eden Foods to drop their crusade against birth control.
Before Reebok decided to drop Ross, the rapper brushed off the controversy as a simple "misunderstanding" and apologized on Twitter -- not for the actual lyrics, but for what had been "interpreted as rape."
Snoop Lion, the rapper-turned-reggae-singer, minimized the episode, however, saying in an interview with MTV News released April 25 that Ross's lyrics are a matter of artistic freedom and that endorsement deals shouldn't hinder that.
Hard Hit
But James Peterson takes a different view. In a Skype interview a few hours after Reebok's decision to drop Ross, Peterson, the founder of Hip Hop Scholars, which is focused on developing the cultural and educational potential of urban youth cultures, called Reebok's decision a big victory for hip hop activists, feminists, writers and bloggers. "When you hit them in their pockets, that is when you really hit them," he said.
Peterson, who is director of Africana studies and associate professor of English at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., said that because Ross is so high profile, the message of zero tolerance for rape celebration will spread.
The consequences of violent and misogynistic songs can be global, added Peterson, who rattled off the recent incidents of violence against women: Steubenville, the gang rape in India, rape used as weapons of war in Syria or the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Ross joins a lineage of rappers who have glorified rape, such as Notorious B.I.G, a celebrated '90s rapper who died in a shooting in 1997 in Los Angeles, or even more recent artists such as Kanye West--who sings in "Monster," a song released in 2010, "I put the p--sy in a sarcophagus/Now she claiming I bruise her esophagus."
Peterson said the pressure placed on Reebok "reflects that hip hop is also fed up with this business, people are fed up with this kind of misogyny and rape culture that just gets a free pass in the popular form of the music."
Peterson and Amir agreed that while individual rappers should be held accountable for what they say in their music, their corporate sponsors must also be held responsible.
Raising Listener Awareness
Peterson said the main goal is to raise critical awareness among listeners rather than censoring artists. "It is really the harder, longer, uphill process of raising critical media literacy among the constituents and the people who are listening and consume the music to reach zero tolerance among the listening audience that is to me the ultimate goal."
Some female rappers such as Nicki Minaj, Trina and Lil' Kim have embraced some of the misogynistic vocabulary of rap by dubbing themselves powerful "bad bitches," leaving music consumers, critics and other artists to ponder the term.
Lupe Fiasco, a Chicago-based rapper, released his song "Bad Bitch" last year to start a social dialogue, he said in an interview with MTV News. "The idea of it, the 'bad bitch,' it's very subtle but it definitely has some destructive elements to it," he said.
Peterson said he would like to see more coverage and support for socially conscious artists such as Amir and Lupe Fiasco. "I wish that when an artist, especially any kind of popular artist, makes a constructive song, a song that makes an important contribution into the public discourse about serious issues, I wish that we can support them as swiftly and powerfully as we critic and condemn the Rick Rosses," he said.
After losing his contract with Rebook, Ross eventually issued an official apology. "Before I am an artist, I am a father, a son and a brother to some of the most cherished women in the world. So for me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets . . . To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize."

The St. James School Board held its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday night at the Armstrong Media Center. The Community Connection presentation before the formal Board meeting was used by Steve Dibb from the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) to discuss how the MDE is working with the staff of Northside Elementary to manage the Federal School Improvement Grant (SIG) the school received at the start of the school year.
Dibb explained the MDE got a waiver from the Federal Government regarding the average yearly progress (AYP) standard.
MDE proposed to the Federal Government a new accountability system called the multiple measurements rating (MMR).
After the standard was devised, Northside Elementary was identified as one of the schools in the bottom five percent and was eligible for a Federal grant.
Dibb said SIG was the largest grant program he'd ever been associated with in his 35 years of education.
MDE is required to monitor the SIG money Northside receives. As part of that monitoring, Dibb visited the school on Feb. 11, prior to the Board meeting. He conducted classroom walk throughs and met with SIG-related staff.
He explained the personnel requirements of the SIG programs were necessary because the additional staff positions have been demonstrated to be among the best practices needed in the effort to turn around schools.
Other requirements of the SIG that Dibb talked about were the need to increase learning time for students. There were several options Northside could use to increase learning time.
It is a data driven program according to Dibb. The SIG provides an opportunity for the teachers to collaborate.
"We focus on making detectable changes in classroom instruction that is reflected in measurable student achievement. The focus has to be on what's best for kids," according to Dibb. He said it will require hard work to improve student achievement at Northside.
Another MDE staffer, Mary Jenatscheck, said, "The staff is working hard. At time they feel a little overwhelmed. It's so much change and it's so fast."
Dibb said that what he saw earlier in the day at Northside was 'great instruction'.
In its regular Board meeting, the School Board approved the payment of the bills for January in the amount of $840,587.81.
The Board also approved and accepted gifts in the amount of $16,611.58. Most of the money came from the District 840 Foundation, but the Fraternal Order of Eagles and money from a baking pan sale for the food scholarship fund also made contributions.
Mary Richard presented a summary of revenues by fund and source and of expenditures by fund for review by the School Board.
The Board approved a revised memorandum of understanding pertaining to the offering of early retirement incentives to members of the teachers bargaining unit. These retirements would be effective at the end of this school year.
Page 2 of 2 - With the approval of the revision, the Board voted to accept the early retirement of four staffers.
The staff who will take early retirement are John Becker, Beth Christiansen, Michael Huss and Carol Goodeman.
The Board also accepted a leave of absence for the 13-14 school year from Laura Dorn. After the leave of absence this will turn into a retirement for Dorn.
These are very senior teachers. Christiansen is the most senior teacher on the District's roster. She began her teaching career in August of 1970.
Becker is the second most senior teacher on the roster having started his career in August of 1974. Dorn is the sixth most senior, Huss the 24th and Goodeman is the 26th.
Chairman of the School Board Bill Brown said these were essentially career people who were retiring.
Brown continued that these professional educators had a combined 163 years of teaching service to the St. James community. On behalf of the Board he expressed his heartfelt thanks for the work they have done.
The Board also approved an environmental consulting agreement with Harbo Consulting Agency of Lake Crystal. This is a three year health and safety service management contract. The amount of the contract will be paid annually in the amount of $18,444.00.
The Board also approved a CRIC budget, several other administrative procedures and two work agreements.
Board Superintendent Becky Cselovszki reported that a community meeting has been scheduled for Feb. 27, at 6 pm in the Armstrong Auditorium to discuss options in school conference participation.
High School Principal Ted Simon talked about the new state educational standards students will have to meet to graduate. This starts with the current sophomore class and he distilled it down to, "Every kid will need to take chemistry to graduate."
The number of units needed to graduate remains the same at 52, but the number of required courses goes from 34 units to 36 units. Simon detailed how the high school will schedule science course offerings so students will meet the new requirement.
Northside Principal Karla Beck presented her monthly SIG report to the Board. It touched on the MDE visit by Steve Dibb.
The report also indicated Northside teachers continued to meet for their required 90 minutes of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) each week.
She said that, "Veteran teachers were learning new things and that all teachers were going to see each others data."
She reported on some Northside math and reading test results that showed improvements for second and third grade. They were essentially flat for fourth grade. Fifth grade had flat math scores and improved reading scores.
The Principal also presented a chart that showed oral reading fluency improved for grades two through five.

Art heist trial held up over lawyer's sneakers
Published: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 7:34 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 7:34 a.m.
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A lawyer found he couldn't sneak into court late, at least not wearing jeans and blue suede sneakers.
Judge Ioan Adrian Chitoiu slapped defense lawyer Catalin Dancu with a maximum fine of 5,000 lei ($1,148) Tuesday for flouting dress regulations and for being late at the trial of five Romanians accused of art theft.
Dancu had a black robe over jeans and the bright blue sneakers— triple-stripe models which he said cost 200 euros ($264).
"I am scented, shaved and fresh," he said, explaining he had been delayed in another court. "I am going to contest this fine."
Proceedings were adjourned after Dancu moved for the judge to be suspended, which another court will rule on.
The five defendants are being tried for the theft of seven paintings by Picasso, Matisse and Monet among others which were stolen in October from Rotterdam's Kunsthal gallery.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – June 21, 2013 – Brian Dillon of Boston, Mass., was elected to Ducks Unlimited Inc.'s national board of directors during the organization's annual convention held recently in Portland, Ore.
"The leadership of our board of directors ensures we are fulfilling our mission to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl," said DU CEO Dale Hall. "Our board members are not paid for their work; rather they volunteer their time and resources because they feel so strongly about conservation. I welcome each new member and look forward to working with them in the years to come."
Dillon, president of Positive Retirement Outcomes LLC, was first recruited to DU by Hazard Campbell, a past DU president and friend of Dillon's grandfather. Campbell's son Ben, also now of Boston, grew up with Dillon in Buffalo, NY, and invited him to his first Boston dinner after they both moved there following college. Dillon now chairs that committee. He has always been an active volunteer, serving on eight different non-profit boards or committees, ranging from education to health care to conservation.
"If you want this country to be as great as it can be, you volunteer," Dillon said. "Conservation is near and dear to my heart. I believe in protecting for future generations our natural resources, our outdoor spaces and the creatures that inhabitant them."
Dillon's children have also become volunteers and volunteer recruiters. His daughter, Susie, has recruited college students to help sell DU merchandize at the event. Dillon's son, Ted, has recruited at least 40 young people to the group, while maintaining the committee's website and social media outlets, as well as developing the dinner's online reservation system.
For a complete list of DU's volunteer board of directors, please visit www.ducks.org.
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

The Pressure Cooker Diaries
For this recent story, I wrote about how top chefs are embracing a technology straight out of Grandma's pantry: the pressure cooker. They use them to infuse flavors of lemon verbena into plums, to turn veal shanks tender and silky and to make ultra-rich stocks.
Intrigued, I went out and bought a pressure cooker. My goal: To see if the pressure cooker could make it possible to put hearty braises, whole grains, and vegetables like artichokes and beets on the table on weeknights. Images of chicken exploding onto the ceiling hovered in the back of my mind.
Undeterred, however, I began experimenting, and kept this photographic diary of my exploits.
Without further ado, here are the Pressure Cooker Diaries.
Day 1
My pressure cooker, a 7.4 liter Kuhn Rikon, which cost about $200 on Amazon, arrives
As do the books I ordered
This baby is something of a behemoth. Although you want a big pressure cooker so you can use it for stocks and braises (you can only fill it up to ¾ full), storing such a bit pot can be a problem. Mine sits on the stovetop all the time.
To get started, I decide to cook something simple that my husband adores but that I hardly ever make because they take so long: Beets. I scrub the beets well, then place them in the cooker and add about a half-cup of water.
I'm apprehensive as I click the lid into place and turn on the heat. People all over the world use pressure cookers safely, so there's no reason to be a wimp, I tell myself (in a tiny, nervous voice)….
After a few minutes, I start to hear some hissing and gurgling, and I see the pressure gauge start to gradually creep up. This is it! I am in business! I am pressure cooking!
Once the gauge has risen all the way, I time the cooking. My book says beets will take 20 minutes from this point.
I remain in the kitchen, adjusting the heat from time to time to keep the pressure steady. After 20 minutes, I release the heat from the lid by pressing down on the gauge button. I open the lid and presto!
They're gorgeous. Perfectly cooked beets. No loss of life or limb. This is all very promising.
Day 2
Now that I have survived the beets, I decide I need a bigger challenge. I pull Julia Child's famous "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" from my bookshelf.
I decide that I can adapt Julia's legendary Boeuf Bourguignon in the pressure cooker, which is reputed to be awesome for stews and braises.
Liquids do not evaporate in the pressure cooker and flavors are intensified, so the wine and stock can be cut way down and the herbs reduced slightly and the sauce remains intense. The biggest change: Instead of braising for 3 hours, I cook under high pressure for a mere 16 minutes.
I seal the pot, watch nervously as the pot comes to high pressure, quaff some of that wine, calm down, and wait 16 minutes.
I use a wooden spoon to release the steam from the pot before opening the lid. (Later, I learn this is a blunder. A braised meat dish should have the pressure released gently, so it will not boil and become stringy. I should have simply let it sit with the heat off until the pressure gauge went down.)
Et voila! (Why does this make me so ridiculously happy?) In spite of my mistake with the pressure release, the dish tastes delicious.
As my family takes a gustatory journey to Julia Child's Paris, I annoy everyone by crowing over how easy it was and exclaiming over how ultra-tender the beef is.
Next time, I'll use less stock than Julia's recipe calls for; another benefit of the pressure cooker is that you need only minimal liquid. Sauces stay thicker and more flavorful.
Days 3 through 15
Over the next two weeks, I use my now-beloved pressure cooker for everything from brown rice (20 minutes to perfection!), artichokes (11 minutes!), Cuban-style pork, yucca root, carrots, collard greens, cauliflower, and just about everything else I can get my hands on.
One night I go crazy and start throwing everything in my refrigerator into the pot. Zucchini, onions, chicken, tomatoes, hmm, how long have these herbs been in the fridge?
The result: A mess. Poulet avec Vegetables à la Mush.
It's terrible.
I realize when you use a pressure cooker, you really have to understand how long each ingredients can tolerate the extremely hot, high-pressure environment inside the pot. Chopped tomatoes and zucchini, it turns out, can handle but a few minutes. I've become cocky. I need to calm down.
Current Day
The pressure cooker is now a bona fide stress-reducing, super-useful piece of kitchen equipment for me. I've backed off the pressure cooker for delicate vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, asparagus and tomatoes, because it is a poor tool for items that need very precise cooking. But I now use the pressure cooker whenever I make brown rice, artichokes, corn, potatoes and beans. I am constantly testing ways I can use it to speed up dinner and improve our weekly fare.
What do you say, Juggle Readers? Is anyone a Pressure Cooker devotee? Will you share your best tips, tricks and recipes? Anyone too nervous to try one, or scarred by overcooked vegetables or exploding pot memories?

Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers start in the lower part of the throat. Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body. To learn more about how cancers start and spread, see What Is Cancer?
To understand these cancers, it helps to know a little about the larynx and hypopharynx.
The larynx
The larynx, often called the voice box, is one of the organs helps us speak. It contains the vocal cords. It is found in the neck (see the picture below), above the opening to the windpipe (trachea). It helps keep food and fluids from going down the windpipe. The larynx has 3 main sections:
- The supraglottis is the area above the vocal cords. It includes the epiglottis, which closes off when you swallow food.
- The glottis is the area with the vocal cords.
- The subglottis is the area below the vocal cords.
Cancers that start in different parts of the larynx are treated differently.
Your larynx and vocal cords have several functions:
- The larynx makes sound for speaking. The vocal cords move and come together to change the sound and pitch of your voice.
- The larynx protects your airway when you swallow. The epiglottis and vocal cords close tightly when you swallow to keep food and fluids from going into your lungs.
- The vocal cords open on their own when you breathe so that air can get in and out of your lungs.
What is the hypopharynx
The hypopharynx is the part of the throat (pharynx) that lies beside and behind the larynx. When foods and liquids are swallowed, they pass through the mouth and throat, through the hypopharynx and esophagus, and then into the stomach.
Cancers of the larynx and hypopharynx
Cancers that start in the larynx are called laryngeal cancers; cancers of the hypopharynx are called hypopharyngeal cancers. Cancers of the larynx and hypopharynx are both covered here because the 2 structures are so close to each other.
Squamous cell carcinomas
Almost all of the cancers in these areas start from the thin, flat cells (called squamous cells) that line the larynx and hypopharynx. Cancers that start in these cells are called squamous cell carcinomas or squamous cell cancers.
Most squamous cell cancers of the larynx and hypopharynx begin as pre-cancerous changes called dysplasia. Smoking and heavy alcohol drinking usually cause the changes. Most pre-cancers will not become cancers. If the causes (like smoking) stop, these pre-cancers most often go away. Most pre-cancers of the larynx and hypopharynx do not cause symptoms unless they are on the vocal cords.
Sometimes dysplasia will progress to a condition called carcinoma in situ (CIS). In CIS, only the cells of the top layer are affected. Cancer cells in CIS have not yet spread into lower layers of cells or spread to other parts of the body.

I have a friend in Austin that drives to surfside twice a week and a lot of people from Austin drive to corpus for surf. I don't know where you're from, but a 3 hour drive to surf any of the tropical storms we have been getting is well worth it. I can't believe no one here drives more then a few minutes to get to the surf. There is not an ocean in Santa Rosa or Sacramento, but clearly some You guys live on the beach. Oh yeah, there's not an ocean in Houston ether, but they drive over an hour to get HERE.

Citizens Energy workers continue their investigation Monday afternoon Nov. 12, 2012 by digging into the front sidewalk looking for possible explanation into the explosion in Indianapolis. (AP Photo/ WTHR Chopper 13 /The Indianapolis Star, Matt Kryger)
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A prosecutor says investigators have ruled out any accidental cause for the Indianapolis house explosion that killed two people, destroyed five homes and damaged dozens more.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry told The Associated Press on Tuesday that city arson investigators and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had concluded the Nov. 10 blast wasn't an accident.
Officials announced Monday that their probe had shifted to a criminal investigation, but did not explicitly say accidental causes had been ruled out.
Curry said Tuesday that search warrants have been executed, but that additional search warrants issued by local judges have yet to be served.
He declined to discuss details of the criminal investigation or the search warrants, saying that releasing information at this point "would jeopardize the ongoing investigation."

LETTER: Assault rifles don't belong with civilians
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 8:31 p.m.
Dear Editor: On Sept. 17, 2012, I had a letter published by the editor, "Guns are getting into the wrong hands." Today, I still echo that sentiment. As mentioned before, this is not an attack on gun ownership nor someone's right to bear arms. But military-style assault weapons belong in battlefield soldiers' hands, not street criminals or psychopaths.
Some of the most sobering information to come out of the Connecticut massacre was the extent to which the psychopath who gunned down 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School was armed.
According to state police, the gunman's arsenal included a military-style assault rifle and two semi-
automatic pistols, with numerous 30-round clips for all three weapons loaded with especially deadly bullets intended to shatter and cause the maximum damage when they rip into the body.
He fired hundreds of bullets during his 10-minute spree, inflicting multiple wounds on each of the 26 victims, and had enough ammunition left to take out virtually every living soul in the 450-student school if police hadn't arrived to interrupt him.
Debate if we must, but gun control on assault weapons is an argument that we can't afford to go back and forth with. If people want to own hunting rifles, pistols to protect the family, range guns or collections of Colt .45s, fine, as long as they're licensed at least as rigorously as is required for owning and operating an automobile.
But military assault weapons designed for a siege on Baghdad, no.

You have many options for treating acne during pregnancy, including self-care and medication.
Pregnancy acne isn't a special form of acne. Many women simply seem to have trouble with acne during pregnancy. Although it isn't always clear what causes acne to get worse during pregnancy, the likely culprit for most women is an overproduction of oil (sebum) — which happens when certain hormones go into overdrive. Fortunately, you're not at the mercy of your hormones.
To treat pregnancy acne, start with self-care:
Beyond self-care, you might consider medication as a treatment for pregnancy acne. However, any medication that's applied to your skin or swallowed can enter your bloodstream and affect your baby. As a result, it's important to exercise caution during pregnancy — even with over-the-counter products.
Options for treating pregnancy acne with medication include erythromycin (Erygel), clindamycin (Cleocin T, Clindagel, others) and azelaic acid (Azelex, Finacea). These medications are typically applied to the skin and are available by prescription. However, opinions about using benzoyl peroxide to treat pregnancy acne are mixed. There's little research on the safety of benzoyl peroxide during pregnancy, although problems haven't been reported.
Lawrence E. Gibson, M.D.

OAKLAND -- Brett Anderson hasn't pitched in nearly three weeks and has made only six starts since June of last season.
But that didn't stop the A's from putting their magical season in his left hand.
Anderson will return from an oblique injury Tuesday night to start Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Detroit Tigers, who lead the best-of-five playoff 2-0.
It will mark Anderson's first appearance since he was injured against the Tigers on Sept. 19 and just his seventh since returning in August from Tommy John elbow-ligament replacement surgery.
If Anderson performs as he did in his season debut against Minnesota, the A's stand a good chance to extend their season.
Anderson allowed just one run and four hits in seven innings Aug. 21 as the A's defeated the Twins 4-1.
Overall, he is 4-2 with a 2.57 ERA this season and has pitched at least six innings in every start except the one in which he got hurt.
"It wasn't like I came back and had terrible outings," Anderson said Monday. "I came back and did fairly well until I got hurt. I take comfort in that a little bit. Hopefully, I'll come out and have another outing like I did against Minnesota."
Anderson insists that he is healthy, and the A's aren't planning to put many restrictions on him.
"I don't think we're going to do anything too strict as far as his pitch count goes," manager Bob Melvin said. "We're just going to see every inning how he feels and monitor that.
"Adrenaline kicks in, and sometimes you have more in the tank than you normally would have after a little time off."
Anderson's teammates say they are in good hands so long as the 24-year-old is healthy.
"He knows himself," reliever Grant Balfour said. "I don't know how he feels, but he says he feels good. And if he feels good and he comes back and throws the way he is capable of, he is the guy to have out there. He has great stuff."
Brandon McCarthy echoed those thoughts.
"If he says he is good enough to go out there, I don't see any reason why there wouldn't be full confidence in him," McCarthy said. "He is a tough matchup for anybody, and you put him in a playoff atmosphere, I think he is really going to come through."
The road to this point for Anderson has been long. It took him more than 14 months to work his way back from the elbow injury. Just as he was sailing along, the oblique set him back.
But it didn't end his season.
Reflecting on the journey that began when he injured his elbow against Boston on June 5, 2011, Anderson said, "Just getting back on the big league mound was goal No 1. I got past that point, and I was feeling good. Then I get to Detroit and have an oblique injury, and you have to do the process all over again, just a shorter time frame."
Anderson has made 68 starts since breaking into the big leagues in 2009. His 69th will be his first in the playoffs and mark the first time in this series that the Tigers will not face a rookie Oakland starter. Jarrod Parker started in Game 1, and Tommy Milone had the ball in Game 2.
In four starts against the Tigers, Anderson is 2-2 with a 3.78 ERA. Triple-crown winner Miguel Cabrera is 3 for 7 against him with three walks.
"This series is kind of a microcosm of our season," Anderson said. "You've got two rookies and a guy who's been hurt 90 percent of the season. This team has handled adversity better than any team I've seen, you wouldn't expect anything less."

David Letterman actually has some nice things to say about Jay Leno.
In a clip from an yet-to-be-aired interview with Oprah Winfrey, Letterman talks about his rocky relationship with "The Tonight Show" host Leno. While he definitely has some less than flattering things to say about his competition, he also gives his late-night rival some high praise.
"We were always friends before all of this happened," Letterman told Oprah, denying her assertion that their supposed rivalry was the result of Letterman being passed over for the "Tonight Show" gig, according to E! News. "He has a way ... he's an unusual fellow. I've never met anyone quite like Jay. And I will say -- and I'm happy to say -- that I think he is the funniest guy I've ever known. Just flat out, if you go to see him do his nightclub act, just the funniest, the smartest, a wonderful observationist and very appealing as a comic."
But ...
"Therefore, the fact that he is also maybe the most insecure person I have ever known. I could never reconcile that."
The entire interview will air on "Oprah: The Next Chapter" on the Oprah Winfrey Network on Jan. 6.

Attucks was the first but not the only African American patriot. More than 5,000 fought in the Revolutionary War--although the liberty they fought for would be something only their descendents would enjoy. In Virginia, dozens froze, starved and died; the 1st Rhode Island Regiment was made up entirely of 250 African Americans. British General Cornwallis was completely fooled by double agent James Armistead, the African American man who stood by General Lafayette's side when Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown.
These patriots are to be honored in a memorial approved by Congress. The Black Patriots Memorial will be on the National Mall just north of the reflecting pool, between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. This is the historic site of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech, an inspiration to generations, both black and white.
In addition to the coin itself, a young collectors edition and a coin and stamp set were offered. The coin and stamp set featured four postage stamps, honoring four African American patriots: Frederick Douglass; Harriet Tubman; Benjamin Banneker; and Salem Poor.
The obverse was designed by John Mercanti, who has been at the U.S. Mint since 1974. Recently, he has designed the 2000 Library of Congress Bimetallic Ten Dollar obverse and Silver Dollar reverse, the reverse of the Leif Ericson Silver Dollar, and the obverse designs for the George H. W. Bush and the Hubert Humphrey medals. He also designed the Bicentennial of the Congress Gold Five Dollar; the Eisenhower Silver Dollar obverse; the Mount Rushmore Gold Five Dollar obverse; the Korean War Silver Dollar obverse; the 1991 USO Anniversary Silver Dollar obverse; and two of the 1995 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Silver Dollar obverses (track & field and cycling).
Ed Dwight designed the reverse. He is a former Air Force test pilot, an engineer and the first African American to be trained as an astronaut. He holds an MFA in sculpture. He has created a wide range of gallery art, but he has focused on large-scale installations honoring African Americans, including his commission to create the Black Patriots Memorial featured on this coin.

UPDATED 2:19 PM EST Dec 06, 2012

- Echo 1 TimberwolfThis is a great gun. Its a gas blow back so if you don't have a lot of green gas lying around the smell will probably be bad and that's really the only down side. Other than that its a good gun. Its looks like a Glock 17 but its just a little better. The grip is very nice and feels like a Colt 1911 slightly. There is a "beaver tail" as Echo 1 calls it to stop the slide from pinching you. It looks awkward but you probably will not find it to be that bad(as I did). The pistol also feels really solid. One thing to watch out for is when adjust the hop-up just be careful to not move the recoil spring so much it is different from a M9 or a Sig 229 and the slide won't go on correctly if it isn't in place. Another good thing about this gun is Echo 1 has tech support videos for all there products including this one. There is only one right now for general maintenance of the gun and the magazine but its new and Echo 1 has a lot of new stuff out so there a little busy right now, just be patient. Last thing I have to say is it comes with a manual that isn't very indepth on how to do everything but better than nothing and a spear magazine plate and back strap. over all worth it if you like Glocks or SOCOM gear pistols because the box says it was an Echo 1/SOCOM gear pistol.
- My favorite pistolThis gun is great it feels like the real deal to me it also has a great trigger it reacts very fast.
It has a good sized mag
never jammed on me
I got like 4 of my friends to get them and they told me it was the best gun they ever owned
I still wouldn't recommend it to beginners just because sometimes it's hard taking care of gas and what not
anyway I LOVE THIS GUN!!!!!!

STOCKTON - Authorities apprehended a parolee who led law enforcement officers on a long, winding pursuit through an east Stockton neighborhood Wednesday night, police said.
The Stockton Police Department's Community Response Team and members of the multiagency San Joaquin County gang task force attempted to make a traffic stop near East Horner and South Oro avenues at 9:23 p.m., but the driver refused to stop, authorities said. Occupants of the vehicle threw unknown items out of the car during an ensuing 24-minute pursuit with speeds ranging from 25 to 45 mph, police said.
The California Highway Patrol took the lead in the pursuit and ended the chase using a technique that involves bumping a vehicle from behind to cause the driver to spin out, police said. The driver, 25-year-old Jose Alvarado, tried to drive away and struck the front bumper of a police car, authorities said.
The pursuit ended near East Horner and Adelbert avenues, about a block from where it began. Dozens of people gathered at the intersection to view the aftermath as police and fire crews converged on the vehicle, which was belching smoke.
Alvarado was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, assault on a peace officer, evading police, wanton disregard for public safety, driving with a suspended license and drug possession, police said. He also was arrested for a parole violation.

Friday marks the 14th year of the annual Dwight Brill Celebration of Life dinner and silent auction. All proceeds of the event go toward the Dwight Brill Fund, which benefits Breckenridge Ski Resort employees in need of financial assistance due to medical issues.
Created in 2000, the fund stands in memory of longtime Breckenridge employee Dwight Brill. Brill battled abdominal cancer for years, during which time he received an outpouring of financial, logistical and emotional support from fellow employees and community members. Though he eventually succumbed to his illness, the support and goodwill that he received has been directed into his namesake fund.
The fund is not part of Vail Resorts, but is managed and funded by VR employees for VR employees. Since it started, the fund has raised more than $155,000 and assisted 82 employees with major crises. Another 300 employees have been assisted with $100 or less.
Tommy Banks, a Breckenridge Ski Resort employee, was personally assisted by the Dwight Brill Fund when an illness caused him to be hospitalized.
"The fund helped me with those bills that allowed me to bridge that financial gap between when my insurance really started to kick in," Banks said. "It's served a lot of people in a great time of need."
In addition to benefitting from the fund, Banks remembers Brill while he was alive.
"He was a great guy. He was super friendly, super personable and a very likable person. And he's missed," Banks said. "It's a great program, but it's great to remember the person, where it all came from and who he was and the battle that he fought, and the stuff that (his wife and the board) have done to keep that going and to keep that memory alive."
The Mexican-style dinner will be held at The Maggie Restaurant, at the base of Peak 9 in Breck. Entertainment will feature The Pine Beatles, a bluegrass band that recently appeared at the Keystone Winter Bluegrass Festival. Silent auction items have been donated from throughout the community.

Seal Oil is by far more superior to fish oil to maintain a healthy heart .Seal Oil can supply up to ten times more DPA than fish oils, which is needed to prevent Cardiovascular disease ( heart Disease).
Cardiovascular Health
At NuCellCanada ,we provide the highest form cardiomega 3 derived from seal oil for cardiovascular disease. About one third of the omega 3 fatty acids in the human blood is attributable to DPA.
EPA, it has been discovered, produces prostaglandin. This keeps the walls of the arteries soft and plaque free. It therefore induces good blood circulation and the result is a good strong healthy heart.
In recent times ,however, it has been discovered that DPA may be 10 to 20 times more effective than EPA for keeping the walls of the arteries soft and plaque free. This is very necessary for the prevention of heartattacks. The highest incidence of DPA is in Seal oil, next is human breast milk.
Research has indicated that Omega 3 can reduce the risk of cardiovascular arrest, by up to 70%, because it reduces blood vessel blockages,and therefore heart attacks.
A report from Dr Leof stated that Omega 3 PUFA scan alleviate a sudden death after a heart attack because of irregular heart beats.
Other studies show that a diet rich in Omega 3 can reduce chances of a second fatal heart
attack by up to 30%. The cause of this is because that Omega 3 soften the arteries' walls thus preventing blockages which can be the cause of cardiovascular disease.
A deficiency in Omega 3 PUFA s such as DPA can result in lessoning development of visual acuity and motor skills,according to some studies.
Omega 3 PUFA's also have a direct effect on the heart muscle,
increases blood flow, decrease arrhythmias (irregular rhythm of heart
beat ) , improve arterial compliance, decrease the size of the infarct
and reduce several cellular processes that compromise heart function.
A study from the UK shows that up to 80 % of schizophrenics are
deficient in fatty acids like Omega3.
Omega3 deficiency has also been linked to depression and mental
deterioration. Omega3 also offers anti inflammatory relief for
arthritis sufferers.
Omega 3 also reduces high cholesterol, it has been proven. Omega 3 also fights againstcirculatory problems associated with diabetes,because it makes the walls of the arteries and veins more elastic and smoothe.This has been proven by many studies done on Omega3.
Nucell Canada Provides the highest quality Omega3 available as Cardiomega 3 Seal oil, for keeping the arteries soft and plaque free to prevent heart attacks and cardiovascular disease. It is 100% mercury free!

A lanky 20-year-old with big soulful eyes, Kevin is seated at a piano in the multipurpose room at the Pacific Autism Center for Education in Santa Clara. He leans toward his music therapist, seated beside him, so they are shoulder to shoulder, and stares intently into her face as she sings him a song.
"Helloooooo, Kevin!" Lauren Bevilacqua sings. She underscores the melody with sun-bright chords as Kevin shyly smiles. He's now staring at the keyboard, plotting something.
"Helloooo, Kevin!" she again sings, pausing to leave a space in the melody -- which he suddenly fills, splashing at the keys to match the rhythm of his teacher's song.
"Yes!" she says, and he looks proud. Not that this is some complicated duet; it's kid stuff, literally. But for Kevin -- severely autistic, nonverbal, a student at PACE since age 4 -- it signifies progress.
Music is a "bridge to communication," says Bevilacqua, a part-time therapist at PACE. And if Wish Book readers respond, her bridge will expand: The nonprofit's administrators would like the fledgling music therapy program to reach all 50 or so of its students, ages 6 to 22. The hope is that Bevilacqua's musical play will offer a way to assuage some of the devastating developmental disorders and social impairments that afflict many of those with autism spectrum disorders. Each $50 donation would provide an hour of music therapy for students.
Since its founding in 1989 by a small group of parents of autistic children, PACE has shepherded students "from cradle to community," says Karen Kennan, its assistant executive director. That means not only running the Santa Clara school, but also a preschool program in San Jose (where "typical" children mix with those "on the spectrum"), early childhood intervention and home therapy programs in Redwood City and San Jose, as well as operating five group homes for children and adults with autism in San Jose, Cupertino and Sunnyvale, where Kevin lives with five other adults.
As a baby, Kevin was "too good," remembers Layla Hansen, his mother, of Scotts Valley. "People said he was the easiest child; you'd put him down and he would just sit there. Babies should make a fuss. But I didn't know what was going on. Now they're diagnosing kids at 9 months, but Kevin wasn't diagnosed until he was 41/2, so he didn't get any early interventions."
Scott Johnson, Kevin's father -- now living in Missouri -- wonders if such interventions might have led his son to grow fluent in American Sign Language, which today is taught at PACE's preschool. "I think he would've had a much more communicative life," he says. "I think we would've been able to find a way to let him express what's inside. I know he has a voice, somewhere. I hope it's music that will be his voice."
Kevin's attention often goes to his fingers, constantly fluttering about his face, as if he were brushing away invisible feathers. It's a form of "stimming" -- from the word "stimulate" -- that he finds soothing. But it takes him away from the world, where simple tasks are mysterious challenges: wiping windows, dusting tables. Such chores are taught in the PACE classroom.
One afternoon, Kevin sprayed and wiped several tables. Learning about the seasons, he painstakingly matched Velcro icons to one another: a picture of falling leaves to one of a bare-branched tree. More simple exercises followed, and Kaberi Bhattacharjee, Kevin's primary classroom teacher, sitting beside him throughout his lessons, said "You're rocking today, Kevin. One hundred percent! High five."
Kevin hesitated, stared at his fluttering fingers, then softly high-fived his teacher and touched her cheek.
There were more high fives in music therapy, where Kevin made some surprising moves.
While singing another song, Bevilacqua ran the back of a finger straight up the white keys of the keyboard. She paused and looked at Kevin, who, coming back in on the beat, imitated her gesture, using the back of one finger to create a musical ripple straight up to the top of the keyboard.
Next she took out a hand drum for Kevin to play, singing: "You're playing pi-a-no!" And then, still singing: "Can you play the drum?"
Again on the beat, Kevin whacked the piano keys with one hand, then softly stroked the drumhead with two fingertips of his other hand.
"You're exploring today," said Carla Brooks, his speech therapist, also in on the lesson.
When it was over, both therapists said Kevin's responses -- modest as they were -- had shown more variety than in previous classes. The goal is to keep "drawing him away from his inner focus, calling him out" into the world through music, Bevilacqua said.
Music has been something of an obsession for Kevin since he was small, when he fell for Disney soundtracks, his mother says. She and Kevin are sharing burgers and fries at a Wendy's in Cupertino. It's a weekly after-school treat, and the whole family has come along. There's Kevin's grandmother, Sandy Hall. There's Hansen's partner, Robin Oakey. And there's Kevin's brother Zachary, 14, who also is "on the spectrum," but is "super-high functioning," his mom says.
Hall remembers Kevin's fondness for —'Mary Poppins,' 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.' Anything with Dick Van Dyke."
Oakey mentions that "when we have the radio on in the car, he'll pick out a certain note and hum along with it."
"Music is just such a gateway for people," Hansen says.
"Absolutely. Opening up emotions, experiences," Hall adds.
"For everyone, and for Kevin, too," says Hansen. "He just loves it.
Kevin, who has been entirely focused on his burger, leans his face into his mother's, stares into her eyes. She stares back, gently rubs his back.
"You're so good, Kevin," she says. "You're so good."

Eliminate Bias: Create a Community of Respect
Ithaca College is a diverse community committed to learning and an open exchange of ideas. We recognize that mutual respect, civility, and trust are crucial both to democratic citizenship and academic inquiry. Unfortunately, incidents of bias and hate can and have occurred on our campus over the last few years. These actions, motivated by bigotry, ignorance, insensitivity, and fear, have no place in our educational community and will not be tolerated.
Education is the most effective means for preventing these incidents and for helping to change attitudes that underlie such behavior. Many faculty, staff, and students commit themselves each year to raising the awareness of community members about diversity issues. However, when an incident of bias or hate occurs, we want to hear about it so that we have the best chance possible to respond to the situation.
Should you encounter an act of bigotry or hate on our campus, or in our community, it is important to know how to respond. Please review the information in this pamphlet and share it with your colleagues and friends so that we can help prevent incidents of bias and hate from occurring on our campus, and address them if they do occur. Every one of us is responsible for creating a learning community that encourages positive engagement with difference.

Today's letters: Working together
Published: Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 4:26 p.m.
To the editor: Our president was elected fairly, so now hopefully everyone will concentrate on working together for the benefit of everyone. We are still hearing of unfairness during this election. President Barack Obama has and will do all he can to aid and help the middle class who are struggling. Lets hope all our representatives will work with him.
A recent letter was ludicrous, with statements that people withheld their votes because their candidate is a Mormon.
Its time that people begin to put aside their excuses and rationalizations on why they lost the election and start working together for everyones benefit. This is the United States of America.
Carl Popanz
The least prepared
To the editor: Had Mitt Romney been elected president, the stock market would have boomed; but Barack Obama was elected, and it tanked 600 points already for starters by far not the end.
Why? Obama was one of the least prepared presidential candidates ever. From 2008 on, he frequently spoke out of all sides of his mouth (see Kimberley A. Strassels article on contradictions in The Wall Street Journal). Obamas government philosophy aims straight for the cliff, diametrically opposite of what has made America great.
Now he wants trillions in new taxes to pay off some debt incurred buying General Motors and Chrysler labor unions votes for 2012. By George! They delivered! Obama caused bondholders to lose millions, if not billions.
George W. Bush, supported by Mitt Romney, had a much better solution: an orderly government-supported Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. GM and Chrysler could replace bankrupting labor contracts with reasonable contracts. Our government would then be owed bonds rather than now being overwhelmed by owning common stock.
There are idle trillions of cash around, but venture capitalists and entrepreneurs will not step into this economy to make it flourish under untrustworthy Washington leadership, thanks to the uninformed who returned Obama to the White House. Sorry, sour pudding is coming!
Daniel J. Theron
Dodging bullets
To the editor: On Nov. 15, both Sen. Kay Hagan and Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina voted to end debate on Senate Bill 3525, aka the Sportsmens Act. It now advances to a vote.
This bill will, among other things, expand hunting on public lands and fund the construction of shooting ranges on public property. Really? According to the most recent statistics available from July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2007, there were 38 hunting accidents in North Carolina, five of which were fatal. Reasons listed for these incidents include a victim being mistaken for game, a shooter stumbled and fell, the use of intoxicants, and running with a firearm.
Do we really want to be dodging bullets while spending time with our families in national and state parks?
Hunters, of which Sen. Hagan is one, make up a very small percentage of the population. Are our elected representatives representing us? Or are they pandering to yet another special-interest group?
Candace Oakes
More to come
To the editor: Thank goodness President Barack Obama was re-elected! Now I can look forward to another four years of the hysterical (in both senses of the word) letters to the editor: Obamas a socialist! Hes a communist! Hes a Nazi! Hes out to destroy America! The sky is falling, the sky is falling!
More laughs than the comics page!

"Sale" is any form of
delivery which includes barter, exchange or gift, or offer therefor, and
each such transaction made by any person whether as principal,
proprietor, agent, servant or employee.
General Statutes § 21a-240 (50) (applies to Chapter 420b: Dependency
Producing Drugs, §§ 21a-240 -- 21a-283a).
Under this definition, there is no requirement that the narcotics be
delivered for consideration. State v. Wassil, 233 Conn. 174, 193
(1995); State v. Theriault, 38 Conn. App. 815, 824-25, cert.
denied, 235 Conn. 922 (1995). It is sufficient to define it as "any
form of delivery." Id., 192.
There is a
distinction between sale and possession with the intent to sell.
State v. Estrada, 71 Conn. App. 344, 356-57, cert. denied, 261 Conn.
934 (2002). "A person may possess narcotics without intending to sell
them, or possess narcotics legally and sell them illegally, or sell
narcotics without possessing them, making the crimes different offenses.
. . . The offense of possession of a narcotic substance with intent to
sell requires proof that the defendant possessed a narcotic substance.
There is no such requirement for the offense of the sale of a narcotic
substance." (Citation omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.)
State v. Mahon, 53 Conn. App. 231, 235 (1999). "To prove sale of a
narcotic substance, the state need not prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant knew the character of the substance. . . . [T]he
state need not prove that the defendant possessed the substance in
question. . . . The state need only prove that the defendant knowingly
sold the substance to another person and that the substance sold was a
narcotic." Id., 236.
