I went to high school with Valerie Repp. We lost touch after I graduated. I think of her every time my kids or grandkids talk about Batman. We used to sit on the bus and talk about things on Batman that I remembered. The kids were excited that chief O'Hara's daughter rode our bus. I just wanted to say hello if she's around. Thanks, Deborah

NEW YORK -- The Warriors' Andre Iguodala has been noticeably more aggressive of late after quietly playing through physical discomfort and mental hurdles resulting from an early-season hamstring strain.
"You get little tweaks here and there," Iguodala said of his left hamstring, which caused him to miss 12 games up until mid-December. "At night, you might wake up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning and something's like, 'What the hell's going on?'
"But mentally, just overcoming it and not thinking about it at all, just trying to have the thought, 'Everything's all right.' Things will play out the way they're supposed to, so no holding back at all."
According to coach Mark Jackson, the team's prized offseason acquisition might have gotten back to full health, "but it wasn't long ago."
Through it all, Iguodala has collected 9.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, all averages that are down from last season. He had seven points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 26 minutes in Friday's rout of New York. Not only did Iguodala help force Knicks star Carmelo Anthony into a 7-for-26 shooting performance, but he also displayed a willingness to push the ball up the floor that hadn't often been seen in recent weeks.
"We're a better basketball team when he does it and when he does it aggressively to score or to facilitate," Jackson said. "I thought last night he allowed us to get it going in transition because he had that mindset."
Told Iguodala was leading the Western Conference in the plus-minus category as the Warriors were a combined 426 points better this season when he was on the floor, Jackson said sarcastically, "What a bust, what a bust."
"People look at him and say, 'He doesn't do this,' " Jackson said. "He wins.
"Coming back when he wasn't 100 percent, probably people expected to see the Andre Iguodala that we went and got instead of saying, 'OK, well, it's a process.' But we've been patient with him all along, and we know what type of player he is and the things he does on the floor to make us better. But I understand the pressure of everybody else not knowing that he wasn't 100 percent, that he was stepping into new territory."
Crawford came off the bench to take at least 10 shots for three straight games before going 0 for 5 and missing all four 3-point attempts to go along with four turnovers in 18 minutes against New York.
Asked if he derived confidence in shooting from Blake being on the floor, Crawford said, "I think that's up to me, really."
"I didn't want him to be a total scorer when we first got him because he had point guard responsibilities also, but I think adding Steve releases asking him to be a facilitator a lot of times on the floor," Jackson said. "He's a scorer. That's who he is, and it makes that second unit click."
"For a long time, people have kind of looked at us as soft or backing down from somebody, so people are starting to notice in games and respect that," Green said. "We're not backing down to anyone."

Every time that Gene Mundle of Hannibal looks at the potato he dug up earlier this week, it cracks him up. Or maybe to be more accurate, it "quacks" him up.
Why? Because it doesn't take much imagination to look at the approximately 3.5-inch tall potato and see the shape of a duck.
"It looks funny ... like a little duck," said Mundle, who lives on the city's South Side.
The duck-shaped spud was one of two or three potatoes that were set aside by Mundle because of their odd shape. But the duck-shaped potato is his favorite.
"It's the talk of the town," said Mundle, who has been showing it to friends and family. "They recognize what it looks like."
Don't look for the odd-shaped potato to be a featured guest at an upcoming Mundle meal.
"I have plenty of potatoes to eat," he said. "I'll probably keep this one until it dries up. It's a conversation piece."
Sometimes Mundle starts the conversation with a joke.
"Does anyone want 'quackers' with their potatoes?" he asked with a chuckle.
It all depends, will the cost be added to the "bill?"

Mike Brown: Bengals wary of Hernandez's character, Gronk's back
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 1, 2013, 7:26 PM EDT
In the first round of the 2010 NFL draft, the Bengals selected tight end Jermaine Gresham. In the second round of that draft, the Patriots drafted tight end Rob Gronkowski. And in the fourth round of that draft, the Patriots drafted tight end Aaron Hernandez.
Obviously, no one could have imagined that Hernandez would become a murder suspect, but Bengals owner Mike Brown told Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com that Hernandez's character was the reason the Bengals didn't want him.
"That one is no secret. We just stayed away from it," Brown said about Hernandez. "We didn't question the playing ability. But we went for Gresham."
Brown also said the Bengals removed Gronkowski from their draft board "because he had a bad back." Gronkowski is currently recovering from back surgery.
The Bengals are feeling pretty good about the decision to go with Gresham now.
The Rams' offense featuring weapons such as Marshall Faulk, Torrey Holt, and Isaac Bruce were known as "The Greatest Show on Turf"
The Steelers' offense featuring weapons such as Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant should be known as "The Greatest Show on Grass"
This has nothing at all to do with respective playing surfaces at the Edward Jones Dome vs. Heinz Field.

Lesson learned from past mistakes.
AH was an absolute beast in college... by FAR the most productive guy, fastest guy by a mile.
EVERY TEAM interested in a tight end can rightfully claim they did not take him because of character issues.
Gronk JUST CAME OFF his back surgery so the concern was legit.
Gresham was "safe" but in no way spectacular.
And can you imagine the criticism he has received over the years for NOT taking Gronk or AH over the years? (Add Jimmy Graham, also in that class).
Given that context one can see why NOW he want to shout "THAT is why we didnt that those guys".
FINALLY an little findication!!!
HOF removes Aaron Hernandez pic
Updated: July 14, 2013
ESPN.com news services
The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, has removed a photo of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez after receiving complaints about it, an official from the museum told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer.
"In the spirit of good taste we thought we'd take it down," Joe Horrigan, vice president of communication and exhibits for the hall, told the newspaper.
The photo, which depicts Hernandez high-stepping into the end zone for the Patriots against the Green Bay Packers in 2010, was the winning entry that year in the Hall of Fame's annual photo contest.
Hernandez is charged with the execution-style murder of 27-year-old semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd and is being held without bail. He has pleaded not guilty. The Patriots released the tight end last month after he was arrested.
What's with all this high profile Hispanic dudes killing black dudes recently?
Aaron Hernandez Murder Trial: Former NFL Star Convicted of First-Degree Murder
By Erin McClam
Aaron Hernandez was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder in the late-night shooting of a man in a deserted industrial park — a verdict that completed a staggering fall for one of the NFL's most promising stars.
Hernandez, 25, a former tight end for the New England Patriots, appeared to shake his head slightly as the verdict was read. He was also convicted of gun charges in the June 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancée.
The verdict carries an automatic sentence of life without parole barring unusual circumstances. The sentencing was expected to begin shortly.
The Associated Press reported that Hernandez's mother and fiancée cried and gasped when the decision was read in court. The jury, in Fall River, Massachusetts, had deliberated 36 hours over seven days.
At the time of his arrest, Hernandez had just been awarded a $40 million contract with the Patriots, one of the most celebrated organizations in sports. In February, he was on trial while they won the Super Bowl without him.
One of the prosecution witnesses was Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots. He testified that Hernandez had personally assured him that he was innocent.
The case against Hernandez was another black eye for the NFL, which, despite its seemingly unstoppable popularity, was already dealing with a crisis over concussions and other criminal cases.
Legal experts said all along that the case was mostly circumstantial, and that there was no clear motive. But surveillance video at Hernandez's home shortly before the shooting showed him holding what appeared to be a gun, and a joint near Lloyd's body had Hernandez and Lloyd's DNA on it.
The murder weapon was not recovered. Hernandez's fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, testified that on the day after Lloyd was killed, Hernandez called her and asked her to remove a large box from their basement. She said she dropped it in a Dumpster but never looked inside.
Hernandez's defense team conceded that he was there when Lloyd was killed, but they pinned the act itself on two friends, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz. Hernandez's lawyer James Sultan described him as "a 23-year-old kid who witnessed a shocking killing" and didn't know what to do.
Lloyd, 27, was a semipro football player and a landscaper. He was shot six times in the middle of the night, his body found in a park not far from Hernandez's home.
Hernandez faces a second trial later this year in Boston, where he is charged with shooting two men to death outside a nightclub.
The Rams' offense featuring weapons such as Marshall Faulk, Torrey Holt, and Isaac Bruce were known as "The Greatest Show on Turf"
The Steelers' offense featuring weapons such as Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant should be known as "The Greatest Show on Grass"
This has nothing at all to do with respective playing surfaces at the Edward Jones Dome vs. Heinz Field.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we are all looking toward the upcoming holiday season, buying gifts and preparing for family. Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays – I'm a sucker for snacks, cookies and gifts. What I'm most excited for this season is to celebrate here in St. James.
One of the great things about being a reporter for a newspaper is that you get to attend all of the events that take place throughout town. Since I started here I have been to all city council meetings, county board meetings, most luncheons and bazaars, the opening of new buildings and the deconstruction of old ones – and now I get to be a part of the holiday festival tradition that has just started here in St. James.
Where I'm from, the only thing there really is to do in the winter is complain about the cold. It's nice to be in a town that makes such a great effort to provide some entertainment for the community.
This winter we can look forward to holidazzle parades, the lighting of Christmas trees, a light display in Mankato's Sibley Park, snow runs and ice fishing. With so many fun things going on, there is really only one things I can think of missing from St. James winters. Really, it's the same thing that's missing all year round – activities for all of us young adults.
Aside from running at Anytime Fitness for an hour every day, there really isn't much to do for someone like me, if you want to let off a little steam after work or are just used to an active lifestyle.
In Glenwood, finding things to do and sports leagues was easy – mostly because I was always involved at the high school. I have either been coaching, mentoring or playing sports my entire life. But now activities seem few and far between. I've heard of pick up volleyball on Wednesdays and rumors of after school basketball – but I'd love to see a community rec league aimed at people my age. Those twenty somethings. I know there must be some twenty somethings here in St. James besides myself. I've seen a few, from a distance.
Anyway, thanks for being so welcoming St. James. You've made being a part of your community very easy. If anyone wants to get the ball rolling and start some rec leagues – or if you know of any that are already in town – let me know! I'm looking forward to spending the holidays in St. James and all of the fun community events coming up.

About the Book
"Vail is in the mold of Lee Child's Jack Reacher and Robert Crais's Joe Pike….This guy has movie written all over him."
—Chicago Sun-Times<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"Fans of Sam Spade and Jack Reacher will feel right at home with this new tough guy."
—Boston Globe
"We have a new American hero in Steve Vail."
—Patricia Cornwell
Steve Vail, former discarded covert operative and the FBI's new go-to guy for the toughest jobs, returns in Agent X—the pulse-pounding follow-up to the explosive New York Times bestselling debut thriller by Noah Boyd, The Bricklayer. A former FBI agent himself, author Boyd pulls out all the stops in Agent X—as "the Bricklayer" hunts down an elusive Russian spy in a taut and authentic thriller that rivals the very best of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Stephen Hunter, and Robert Ludlum.
An officer at the Russian embassy—a man known as Calculus—has approached the FBI offering to sell a list of Americans who are giving confidential information to the Russian SVR. But before a deal can be made, Calculus is recalled to Moscow, and the Bureau fears the Russians will be hunting down and killing the traitors unless the FBI can find them first.
FBI agent-turned-bricklayer Steve Vail thought he was done with the agency, but the Bureau has another unsolvable problem, and it has Vail's name written all over it. Finding the hidden turncoats, however, won't be easy—in fact, it could be downright deadly. And even with the help of FBI Assistant Director Kate Bannon, the Bricklayer's going to have to come up with a few new tricks of his own if he hopes to survive.
Agent X: a white-knuckled thrill ride that crackles with an electric authenticity only a writer who's a real-life FBI veteran can provide.

What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
"I come here a few times a week and each session is three and a half hours," says Schmitz. "I tell everyone I go to work. It's really not that bad."
Schmitz's "job" isn't really one at all, but rather an appointment at the St. Mary's Renal Center for dialysis.
"It all started a couple of years ago. First, I noticed I was feeling poorly and things became tough," he says, "Then I visited my doctor and he sent me over here to the dialysis center to be checked out."
Tests showed Schmitz had kidney cancer. So last May he had surgery to remove the tumor and the kidney it was attached to, leaving just one functioning kidney. Unfortunately, that remaining kidney wasn't able to fully filter his blood and Schmitz was told to prepare for dialysis.
"I had an issue initially with dialysis. I didn't want to feel tethered to this machine," he says, "But in talking to different people the one thing that occurred to me was I should treat it like I was going to work and that rang a bell. You can't really complain about three and a half hour sessions three days a week."
Dialysis is something millions of Americans like Schmitz may have to get used to. Chronic kidney disease is estimated to affect more than 26 million nationwide. And African Americans are four times more likely than their Caucasian counterparts to develop it. Kidney disease means the organ's ability to filter blood has been greatly reduced.
There are a number of causes of kidney disease. However, in many cases, the culprits are high blood pressure and/or uncontrolled diabetes.
"High blood pressure can destroy the filters in the kidneys," says Swaim. "And with diabetics, the high levels of glucose in their blood has the same effect.
Kidney disease isn't something that will all of a sudden hit you. Instead, it tends to come on slowly. Most people with early stage kidney disease don't even know they have it. Yet a simple test at your doctor's office can help determine if you have a problem.
But, those with advanced stages do have symptoms. These include swollen ankles, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, decreased appetite and blood in the urine. If you are diagnosed, chances are dialysis could lead to a better quality of life.
"Dialysis has two functions," says Swaim. "First, to remove extra fluid built up in the bloodstream. And second, to filter out the waste product that the kidneys aren't able to filter."
Without this filtering, you can feel rundown all the time like you have the flu. And in the end, the buildup of waste produce can even be fatal.
"Patients won't immediately feel a difference the first time they have dialysis. But after three to four weeks they start to really feel better," says Swaim. "Often they say, 'wow, I didn't realize how sick I was. I feel so much better now.'"
That's exactly what happened to Schmitz.
"I feel better when I leave here each time," he says.
But getting patients to this point is one of the hardest parts of Swaim's job.
"For some people – and understandably so – they don't want to come. It is a huge adjustment to realize this is what you'll need to do to continue feeling good," she says.
But that's why patients meet with a care team first to learn all about the process.
"We have a team of people who work with patients for both emotional support and also to let them know what resources are available. We show them websites they can visit to learn more about their disease and have them meet with dietitians who can offer tips to control their thirst or reduce their potassium," she adds.
Recently, within the past few years, a new treatment option has been added for patients – homecare. Typically, dialysis means you're driving to a dialysis center to spend three hours a day, three days a week there. But now, equipment that can be used at home gives people more flexibility.
"In order for patients to train for hemodialysis, the type of dialysis done with a needle, they need a dedicated partner who's with them for every treatment if they're going to do it at home. It's something that can't be done alone," she says.
If a patient wants to consider this option, doctors first meet with them to make sure they're a good candidate. Then the patient and their partner are trained. The whole process takes about two to three weeks. Once trained, a dialysis nurse will stop by the patient's home to make sure everything is being done properly. If there are any questions, an on-call nurse also is available 24 hours a day.
"Patients do visit our renal center even when on home dialysis," says Swaim. "But it's only once a month and that's just to run lab work and check on the patient to make sure they're doing well and are taking their medications on a regular basis." Home dialysis patients also can temporarily go back to in-center dialysis. This option is very helpful if, for example, their partner will be out of town and not available to help.
For Schmitz, coming to the St. Mary's Renal Center for treatment is just fine. It gives him time to chat, catch up on reading, even relax and watch TV.
And most importantly it gives him time to focus on his goal, "to play golf with my five grandsons next year when I'm 90!"
BREAKOUT: What is Kidney Disease?
Chronic kidney disease affects more than 26 million people in the United States or roughly one in eight people. It's most commonly caused by high blood or diabetes that are not controlled. Both cause the kidney's filtering system to become damaged. Kidney disease it the term used when that damage is severe and the filtering has been greatly reduced.
BREAKOUT: Who's at Greatest Risk for Kidney Disease?
BREAKOUT: When Should I Get Tested?
Talk to your doctor if you have a family history of kidney disease. A simple test can tell you if you have signs of kidney disease, too. If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, do what you can to keep this in check as they're the cause of 70 percent of all kidney disease.
BREAKOUT: Is it Treatable?
Kidney disease is not curable, but when caught early, medication can help. If discovered in the later stages, your doctor will know if dialysis is the way to go. Not only can it make you feel better, it can also help your kidneys work without being overloaded and therefore prolong your life.

I can understand not wanting to blow £35m on another average player.. thats obvious.their was a few great players around for the same money at the time.. no need to waste it.. so I'll be curious as to what happens.. One thing's for sure they can't blame Rodgers if they screw it up if they go for a player who ends up being #$%$
To be fair to the previous management regime, if you listen to DC describe how that particular deal came about then you'll know that the transfers back then were also being decided by committee.

Exactly my point all transfers will have little to do with Rodgers.. it'll have to be approved by this committee.. what if during their deciding amongst themselves a hot prospect comes along.. and we miss out on him cos of their indecision?
Armchair - you will spin anything to make Rodgers look like a chump won't you? Actually every club does it, in terms of scouts, statisticians etc. The point is that the manager has the final say on who he wants, the owners then say whether that player is affordable.
On the continent, the Director of Football buys the players and then the coach has to fit them in somehow. We dont have a director of football, Rodgers refused to work under one, and good on him.
Do you actually know ANYTHING about football at all?

Saturday was Newton's Whistle Stop Marketplace, a taste of the Holidays. The city took the opportunity to kick off the holiday season. From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., customers had the chance to shop for unique, homemade items and sample quality food. Approximately 16 vendors participated in the Whistle Stop Marketplace. For $10, they could share their creations.
As that train came rumbling into Newton, so did local residents. They were there for the first ever Whistle Stop Marketplace. The shopping, sampling, and holiday festivities were held at the Newton Train Depot.
"We've got vendors from all over the central part of the state. We've got food tasting booths. We've got handmade linens, handmade pottery. We have a student from Mississippi State who is featuring her art. She's an art major. Just from all over the state we are featuring different people and showing what they can do," says Leigh Anne Whittle, a supporter of the community and Newton County Chamber of Commerce.
The vendors who participated in the activities bring with them talent, creativity, and uniqueness. Their items are all homemade and a little different from what you could find at a department store. One of those vendors is Angie Burks. She was happy to participate in the first ever Whistle Stop Market Place.
"I think this is a great event for Newton. A lot of people come out doing their Christmas shopping today. There's been a lot of fun and fellowship and we have such a great variety here. Most of these artists are from Newton that have homemade stuff, so it is great to show off our talent here in Newton," describes Burks.
So will residents get another Whistle Stop Market Place in the future? Well, according to organizers and vendors they are pleased with the crowd thus far and hope to bring the events back in the future.
"We hope to do this again. We want it to get bigger and better. We want it to grow. We are asking for support, so if anybody can support us by supporting the local Newton Chamber and we'll make it bigger and better next year. Right now we have a pretty good turnout."
"For the first hour we have had a great turnout. The crowd has been really good today. Of course, you know, you hear the Christmas music going and it kind of puts you in the Christmas spirit, so people are thinking about Christmas shopping now, so it's great."
For shoppers and vendors alike, the timing could not be better.
"If you notice, we chose the weekend right before Thanksgiving to kick it off and get people in the spirit."
And the spirit was alive right along with the message of Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.

The Ivory Coast, a former French colony, has a varied climate ranging from extreme aridity to pouring rain. Its political system unfortunately is not entirely reliable. Since 1983, the capital of the Ivory Coast has been Yamoussoukro, a city with about 110,000 inhabitants. Apart from its genuinely African name, this city, which is situated away from the coast, has little to offer. All the government agencies, ministries, embassies and large companies have remained in the former capital, Abidjan.
With their unspoilt nature and marvellous African jungle containing very rare trees, plants and animals, the surrounding areas of Abidjan are an attractive place to visit.

IAM pantry seeks fresh produce donations
Published: Saturday, June 29, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 5:37 p.m.
Interfaith Assistance Ministry in Hendersonville has launched a "Share the bounty of your garden!" program seeking donations of fresh fruits and vegetables from area supermarkets, farmers and hobbyist gardeners.
"We are grateful to receive any fresh produce, because we never have enough," said pantry Co-manager Joyce Hill. "If you are a farmer or gardener, you always have extra produce. We would love to be the recipient of any extra produce that local people have available."
It is "very important to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, especially children," Hill added. "Fruits and vegetables should be a large part of anyone's diet — at least 25 percent. It makes for healthier bodies and minds."
Current supermarket donors include Bi-Lo, Harris Teeter, Fresh Market, Aldi's and Food Lion in Mills River, in addition to smaller produce stands and faith organizations.
"Last year, we gave about 600 pounds of fresh produce to IAM and the Rescue Mission," said Pastor Richard Weidler of First Congregational Church in Hendersonville, which has a 1-acre garden.
Two primary volunteers, Milton Stewart and Nick Pence, tend to the garden every morning, with more volunteers helping out as needed.
"Right now we're growing tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, onions and broccoli," Weidler said. "The garden is a great source of spiritual energy for the congregants, knowing that we're producing food for the hungry."
IAM is grateful for the bounty, but Hill noted that demand always exceeds supply. For the March-June quarter, the pantry filled 790 food orders, an increase of 13 percent over the previous quarter. Those orders fed 2,148 people more than 40,000 meals, a 20 percent increase over the previous quarter.
Year-to-date, the IAM pantry has served nearly 6,000 individuals more than 76,000 meals. About 20 to 25 percent of the individuals fed by IAM are children.
In the fall, apple growers are wonderful donors, Hill said. "Volunteers glean the fields for us, and sometimes we also get sweet potatoes, pumpkins and white potatoes."
Currently the pantry has melons, citrus, strawberries and peppers. About 10 percent of the pantry is fresh produce, with the majority being packaged foods, personal care and household items.
"But we would love to see fresh produce be 25 percent," Hill said.
Anyone wishing to donate fresh produce can contact Hill at 828-697-7029, ext. 337.
Reach Tanker at 828-694-7871 or email@example.com.

After mallards, blue-winged teal are my favorite ducks. I revere them for their beauty, their sporty flight capabilities, their delicate table quality, and their habit of migrating south long before most other ducks. Bluewings on the northern prairies start getting antsy around mid-August, and any hint of a northwest wind will send them scurrying southward.
So that hunters can take advantage of this early migration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service allows special teal hunts in September in non-waterfowl production states in the Atlantic, Mississippi, and Central flyways when certain population thresholds are met. This special season lasts 9 or 16 days, depending on the number of bluewings in the breeding population the preceding spring.
In my experience, the early teal season is a greatly underutilized hunting opportunity. But I'm convinced that more hunters would value the early teal season as highly as I do if they would only try it. Catch the migration right, and birds are plentiful. Hunting pressure is usually light. These small ducks fly like rockets, and they decoy with little hesitation. And their breast meat is scrumptious when wrapped in bacon and grilled to rare perfection.
The September teal season is also a good tune-up for the "big duck" season to follow. It's an opportunity to get some decoys out, run the boat, test out a new shotgun, and give the retriever a little practice for more serious fetching chores to follow. Here are some tips for where, when, and how to bag these early migrants.
Blue-winged teal frequent both large and small waters (reservoirs, natural lakes, sloughs, swamps, beaver ponds, farm ponds, etc.). They feed on aquatic plants and invertebrates in shallow water (eight inches or less). When not feeding, they like to rest and preen on bare mud flats bordering these shallows.
The best way to find bluewings is simply to go looking for them, and the closer to hunting time, the better. Due to their migratory patterns, they can literally be abundant one day and scarce the next. As a result, the best game plan is to scout in the afternoon for a hunt the following morning.
On big water, run a boat and check flats and bays with binoculars. Hunters can also scout farm ponds from vehicles or hike into remote backwaters to see if teal are present.
Bluewing movement is prompted by the slightest weather changes. During September, watch the weather map closely and expect a new wave of birds with each frontal passage.
Bluewings will typically hit a new area and hang around until the next frontal passage pushes them farther south (and brings new teal in). This pattern commences in August, and by mid-October, the majority of bluewings are on their wintering grounds along the Gulf Coast or in Mexico or northern South America.

|Kanji worksheet, due on Tuesday from 2004.09.12
"Don't worry about me. I love children. In fact, I brought a treat for--Benjamin, right? A cookie now, and--if you behave--another cookie later. How does that sound?" The girl produced a jar and offered it to the child, who shook his head and hid behind his father. The babysitter laughed and set the jar down on a small desk. "Isn't he such a dear?"
"Ooh, is that chocolate? Benj, if you don't want any..."
"Now, now, John, no snacks before dinner. Kathy, just two cookies, okay? Please make sure he eats dinner. I've left something in the ref. Before I forget, here's the advance you asked for. Good night, Benjamin, Kathy! See you at 10."
Then they were gone.
His stomach rumbled. He put down the truck and waddled over to the dining room. No dinner in sight. He could ask the babysitter, but that'd probably mean having to eat boring vegetables.
He caught a whiff coming from near the front door. Cookies! Cookies would be perfect for dinner. He peeked behind him. She was still on the sofa, staring at those gross shows with lots of face-sucking. Removing his squeaky shoes, he tiptoed through the living room and climbed onto a chair, carefully wrapping his small fingers around the jar. Easing the flip-top lid open, he reached in, grabbed his prize, and crammed it into his mouth.
It wasn't quite chocolate. He didn't know what it was. But it tasted... nice. He wanted another one. And another. And -
"You like the cookies?" The baby sitter smiled at him.
Cookie-laden hands froze half-way to a crumby mouth.
"I love cookies. You can help me make some. Your kitchen has an oven, right? Let's go. Bring the jar with you."
He found himself taking a step, and another, and another. He couldn't take his eyes off her, staring, horribly fascinated as she dipped a hand into the jar and snared a cookie.
"I do so love children," she sighed, and bit into it.
A note greeted his parents when they came home.
"Benjamin was absolutely wonderful. Thanks."

Marian Keyes has made a career of writing about brilliant young Irish women who pass through fire on their way to a richer life. In The Mystery of Mercy Close, her long awaited fifth chapter in the Walsh sisters' series, Keyes has found a new way to blend reality and fiction, resulting in the most urgent and funny novel of her career. She talks to Cahir O'Doherty about her ridiculously entertaining new book.
Call it your Ultravox moment. You've reached middle age, and despite yourself you've somehow achieved the global domination that you secretly hoped you would.
You're world famous and you're really rich. But it means nothing to you.
That, rather roughly, is what happened to Marian Keyes, 49, in 2009. The wisest and wittiest of Ireland's writers of her era, she's certainly made good on her early promise.
Published in 29 languages, she's sold 23 million books since her debut Watermelon turned her into the successful writer she never quite planned on becoming.
It had all gone about as well as she dared to ask. Back in the early 1990s she had sent her short stories to a publisher, casually adding that she was working on a novel.
Show us your novel came the answer. That meant she had to sit down and write it.
Fast-forward 20 years later and Keyes surpassed every goal she ever set for herself. But it was all a terrific accident, she insists.
A child of recession era Ireland, Keyes did all the sensible things the country demanded, studying law and accountancy and inching toward the stultifying professions. Then she took a sideways step to a career that allowed her to express herself and it actually made her more successful.
But in recent years something wasn't working. One day in 2009 she found herself becoming acutely anxious at a family gathering. That fear then began to slowly spread outward, poisoning her life.
"I used to think that if I worked very hard for a very long time I'd get to the point where I was fully formed," she tells the Irish Voice.
"I would be always happy. I'd be on the top of the mountain being completely Zen. The only feelings I'd have would be a calm, numb bliss. But if I live to be 116 that won't happen. That came as an awful shock to me," she laughs.
Instead, she was startled to find herself entering the cruelest and most disorientating depression of her life.
"I tell you, I was beyond reach," she says. "I know that sounds incredibly ungrateful. I really did want to write another book and people were so nice and they encouraged me. I did feel very appreciated.
"Maybe if I'd been on Twitter when I was going through my depression I would have had a better idea of the support."
Keyes wasn't just down. She was despairing and suicidal. In fact she contemplated suicide up to 40 times a day she says.
The experience shook her to her core, and in her new book The Mystery of Mercy Close (Viking), Keyes has found an opportunity to blur the lines between her creative and her personal life, in a book she has called a comedy about depression. "People won't be bothered by the serious subject if the book makes them laugh," she adds.
But how do Irish doctors and Irish people generally respond to the problem of depression? "Prayers are the first point, get scuttered is the second, hang yourself in the barn is the third," she laughs. "If they get to the fourth, which is see a psychiatrist, they'll say, "But begod, my hopes aren't high."
In her new book Keyes tackles the fifth and final Walsh sister, Helen, who may be the toughest nut to crack of all. "I was afraid of writing about her because she lacks emotional intelligence," Keyes reveals. "Helen was always grand as the funny sidekick and she was always people's favorite because she was always so fearless. She cropped up in all the other Walsh sisters novels. But I didn't think I'd be able to write a novel about her."
Helen is difficult, Keyes admits, and she confesses she admires her steeliness. "But I didn't want to discover that there wasn't a core of steel with her. People kept asking for a book with her and I thought I'm never going to be able to write it. But then a combination of things happened."
First and foremost was Keyes' journey through crippling depression. After it, when she regained some equilibrium, she began to realize that it might be a journey Helen could also take.
"I thought that this could happen to Helen with her still being her essential self. At the end of it she's not necessarily wiser or softer," Keyes said.
"She's still kind of the wise cracking, cynical person that she always was. I think she's become more likeable because she has gone through so much.

How to Get Fit Fast (Just Like Celebrities Do)
This measurement calculates your height and weight and spits back an ideal range for where you should fall on the chart. This is the standard widely used to classify people as underweight, normal weight, or obese.
Some experts will suggest that calculating BMI is the best way to figure out if a body weight is ideal, said Cosmo Radio women's health expert Jennifer Wider, M.D., author of The New Mom's Survival Guide. Others will say it doesnt take into account the waist to hip ratio and muscle mass, which can add a lot of pounds. One persons ideal body weight can be completely different from somebody elses.
To figure out your BMI, compute your height in inches (So if you're 5'7, that's 67 inches) and weigh yourself (say, 140 pounds.) Then, square your height number (67 x 67 = 4489) and divide your weight by that number. (140/4489 = .031) and, finally, multiply that number by 705. For this gal, it's 21.8. Healthy BMI is recommended to fall between 19 and 24.9. If you're concerned that you're outside the ideal BMI range, visit your doctor to get a better assessment of your health (before going all rice cakes and coconut water on us.)

A Great Portable MP4 PlayerI bought this product 3 years ago (Still going good, VERY GOOD) relying on the quality and service promised by Philips and was not disappointed. With a decent battery backup,great sound (Buy another set of earphones, as the one provided with the product is crap) it is value for money being the best 16 GiG Mp4 player under 10K. Also, FullSound feature enhances your listening experience twofold. Highly satisfied with this beauty. Recommended to all the music buffs out there.

The software given on the Philips-CD partition of the GoGear Ariaz 16 GB installs with wine. But it is hardly needed. When connecting the device with USB, it is coming up with option of transfer and play. Working absolutely nice.

Definitely Worth BuyingI recently bought this mp 4 player. The features are satisfactory. The pic quality and video are also pretty good. The 16 GB inbuilt memory is more than enough to carry around a vast library (and discographies of your favorite artists if you wish) in a portable manner. For most of the people, even the headphones (in-canal, which sits snugly and comfortably in your ears, thus eliminating external noise) that comes along with the player will suffice.

A WONDERFUL GIFTBought Philips GoGear Ariaz MP4 to gift it and what praises I received...but real praise goes to the gadget and the service of flipkart who were prompt in delivering the product within 2 working days. Product is up to the mark and all the specifications mentioned as it is....wonderful product and would recommend to go ahead with it....sole reason of buying it was for the in-built speaker which is rare in MP3 and MP4s.

For almost 20 years, Sue Tholkes' hair salon, Mill St. Hair Company, was based on Mill Street. No surprise there.
So the first question many people had when they heard Sue Tholkes was moving to E. 2nd St. was, "Is she going to change the name?"
"We've kept 'Hair Company', but we've added 'Salon and Spa'," she said last week, finally moved into her new building.
"I'd been at the other space on Mill Street since 1985, and owned it since May, 1993," she said.
"I was looking for a bigger space, and I loved the ceilings in here. When I heard the building was available, I flew over here," Tholkes said.
One of Tholkes's main goals was expanding her spa services — facials, skin care, massage, pedicure, and manicures, among others.
The expanded space allows Tholkes to add another chair in the hair salon area, a new makeup stall, and additional chairs for manicures and pedicures.
There is also a new room for skin care, and one for waxing.
Tholkes also appreciated the new building's antique history.
"I think there was a dance hall upstairs," she laughed.

It just seems crazy if there wasn't an error with the app! My normal pace is around 13 minutes per mile. Tonight it says 6:27 minutes per mile. I did try lengthening my tiny strides a little and I tried some new shoes. I used to be a fairly decent runner....but that was over 20 years ago. I have the active.com iphone app.
And oh yeah......my legs are killing me right now! LOL
Sorry to say, but if it is too good to be true, it probably isn't.
Fat old man PRs:
I don't know if it's possible but I'd say it seems unlikely. Can't you do the math? Did you run that much further in about 1/2 the time? It just seems to me that if I was running that much faster I would have thought "Wow look how far I went" long before I looked at the app. Hopefully though it's true. I will say that I don't have an iphone but my app has clearly gotten the time wrong in the past.
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
Make sure you're viewing "average" pace, not "instantaneous" pace, which can be deceptive. Also, be wary when you "try lengthening" your stride. Most people (particularly beginners) do this by reaching in front of themselves with their foot, resulting in overstriding and landing with a straight, extended knee. This can cause a "braking effect" with extra stress on the knee and other parts of the leg. Try to keep the knee flexed and over the ankle when you plant your foot
Hi Len,
In reading your post here you mentioned "Most people (particularly beginners) do this by reaching in front of themselves with their foot, resulting in overstriding and landing with a straight, extended knee. This can cause a "braking effect" with extra stress on the knee and other parts of the leg. Try to keep the knee flexed and over the ankle when you plant your foot", I think this may have applied to me as well, not to mention I was doing a bleacher (steps) routine after each routine of the c25k program. You have replied to several of my past posts and I was hoping to get some more info, I'm a brand new runner 53 years old in good health and fairly fit, I began to experience knee pain after d1 w4, but continued with d2 and 3, but am taking today off from completing w5 d1 routine today. I am seeing an Ortho Specialist tomorrow and in the meantime have been icing my knee routinely. Anyway, I'm hoping my knee just needs a little time off and that I will be able to continue running soon. I just want to clarify, when you say "try to keep the knee flexed and over the ankle when you plant your foot" I'm assuming that the proper way for the foot landing is heel to toe? Thanks in advance, hope to be back on track soon!
Well, I would have to say there is no "proper way" to plant your foot. The majority of runners appear to be heel-strikers, that is "heel-to-toe" - studies show around 70% of runners are heel-strikers. There are a lot of proponents for midfoot-striking, (where you land almost flat-footed, with the ball and heel landing almost simultaneously), and forefoot-striking (where the ball lands, then the heel lands lightly). The most recent studies seem to show that there is no real advantage to one over the others (with one exception, see below). Basically, whatever way you plant your feet now, stick with it unless you have a good reason to change (such as repeated injuries). Below is a pretty good video that illustrates good technique. He is running barefoot (which of course you don't have to do) and talks about "natural running" (something that may be a myth) and is basically a midfoot-striker. Watch the position of his knees and legs and where his feet plant relative to his body. Note that his feet are nearly under his body and his knees are flexed and tend to be over or ahead of the ankles. There is a stop-motion at about 1:20, and slow-motion then and later. It's a pretty good video that illustrates basic principles.
The exception: apparently heel-striking while running barefoot can be a problem. Studies show the forces transmitted up the legs in this case are substantially increased. So if you want to run barefoot, you should not heel-strike.
Len - that is a pretty cool video. I've seen others, but this one is pretty good. thx for sharing

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The 11 U.S. cardinals eligible to vote in the conclave
to elect a successor to Pope John Paul II represent the second-largest
voting bloc at the gathering.
Even if they do not vote as a bloc, by sheer numbers the U.S. cardinals are
likely to have a big influence on who becomes the next pope.
As in past conclaves, Italians will have the largest delegation, with 20 of
the 117 eligible voters. In comparison, the conclave that elected Pope John
Paul II had 27 voting Italians, or 24 percent of the 111 participants.
Of the 11 U.S. cardinals, only Cardinal William W. Baum has ever voted in a
conclave. Named to the College of Cardinals in 1976 when he was archbishop
of Washington, he voted in the two conclaves in 1978 at which Popes John
Paul I and II were elected. He is former head of the Apostolic Penitentiary,
a special court that can absolve individuals from sins or censures reserved
to the Holy See.
The U.S. delegation also includes Cardinals:
-- Edward M. Egan of New York.
-- Francis E. George of Chicago.
-- William H. Keeler of Baltimore.
-- Bernard F. Law, retired archbishop of Boston.
-- Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles.
-- Adam J. Maida of Detroit.
-- Theodore E. McCarrick of Washington.
-- Justin Rigali of Philadelphia.
-- J. Francis Stafford, head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, a Vatican court,
and former archbishop of Denver.
-- Edmund C. Szoka, president of the commission that governs Vatican City
State and former archbishop of Detroit.
Cardinal Lubomyr Husar, a Ukrainian-born U.S. citizen, is counted among Ukrainian cardinals. He is the major archbishop of Lviv, Ukraine, and head
of the Ukrainian Catholic Church.

Tip of the Week
The difference between a professional paint job and a do-it-yourself job that looks like a pro painted it is surprisingly simple. If you want that professional look while maintaining your DIY pride — and checkbook — take the time and effort to pay attention to often overlooked details.
Step-by-step prep: Move furniture and other items out of the room if at all possible. If not, be sure to completely cover and secure the items to fend off spills and spatters. Opt for a canvas drop cloth instead of a one-time plastic covering. Canvas is extremely durable and will lie flat, preventing any unforeseen tripping or rips that may expose flooring and furniture.
Use painter's tape to protect woodwork like door frames, window frames and moldings, and remove electric fixture covers and plates. Don't forget the door knobs or cabinet pulls. Use small plastic bags to cover them and secure with painter's tape if you can't remove them entirely.
Should you run into any issues of stray paint, use absorbent newspaper to soak up unwanted drops. Finally, gather rollers, brushes, paint and trays, and place them on their own drop cloth in an easily accessible area.
Focus on the details: Look for areas that, if omitted, will surely draw negative attention and make your room look unfinished: baseboards, trim, chair rails, molding and doors, as well as the interior of door and window frames. You'll want to use a compact tool that gives you more control, like a mini paint roller.
Wrap up the room: It is best to paint any trim before tackling the walls. Start with the baseboards and paint around the room in one direction, paying careful attention not to miss any areas. Next, paint any window trim, door trim and crown molding. Be sure to remove painter's tape before the paint dries for a cleaner line.
When you're ready for the walls, start painting from the top and work your way down the wall. As you get close to where your ceiling meets the wall or where the wall meets trim, take your time, and don't feel the need to paint right up to the edge with a large roller.
Before putting all your furniture back and paint cans away, take one last look around. Perhaps you have fixtures or furniture that could use a touch-up. You can take this moment to carry your color scheme throughout the room and add new life to mirrors or picture frames.

Five arrested in drug stakeout
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 8:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 8:40 p.m.
Five people were arrested during a Lafourche Sheriff's Office and Golden Meadow Police drug stakeout, Lafourche deputies said.
Lafourche Drug Task Force agents were watching the home Tuesday of Daffney Kiger, 37, 505C N. Bayou Drive, deputies said. Before they saw her, they saw Billy Coleman, 31, 319 St. Louis St., pull out of her driveway.
Agents said they recognized Coleman as a man wanted on suspicion of crack cocaine distribution, so they pulled him over. Coleman stopped his car and ran away, but agents caught him.
He is charged with resisting an officer, as well as the cocaine charge, deputies said.
Agents said they also found Coleman's passenger, Javon Folse, 25, 488 Ayo St., had outstanding warrants alleging crimes that included domestic-abuse strangulation and home invasion. He was charged on those warrants.
Back at Kiger's home, agents met up with Golden Meadow Police and arrested Kiger. She is charged with distributing crack cocaine and using drugs in the presence of a minor, deputies said.
Agents said they searched her home and found suspected heroin, marijuana, Valium and other prescriptions drug.
As part of the operation, agents also arrested Larone Gray, 38, 506 St. Charles Bypass Road, Thibodaux, and Damoz Folse, 19, 170 Triple Oaks Drive, Raceland, and charged them with heroin, marijuana and Valium -related crimes.

Q: Do we attend only as a couple, or do we attend separately?
A: RCA meetings are for both members of a couple. We think of our coupleship as a distinct entity with a separate life of its own that needs nurturing and development. The RCA symbol of the three-legged stool represents each partner's individual recoveries and the recovery of the relationship. We believe that couple recovery stands like the stool when all three parts are working together.
There are times when both members cannot come to a meeting together, and we believe it is possible for the individual partner occasionally to attend RCA recovery meetings. However, the program works only if both members are willing to work it. The Fourth Tradition states the principle that each group is autonomous and may identify its own guidelines as to whether the meeting is closed (couples only) or open to singles. The online International Meeting Directory is regularly updated with RCA group information.
Q: What happens at a meeting?
A: There are suggested guidelines for RCA recovery meetings which may be adapted for each group's purpose. In general, each meeting opens with The Serenity Prayer, using the plural form "we" and "us." This is followed by the Welcome, the Preamble, How It Works, and the Twelve Steps.
The format of each meeting may include a speaker couple, Step study, meditations, Blue Book reflections, or other such materials designed to foster couple recovery. The meeting is then open for sharing experience, strength, and hope. After one member of a couple shares, the other member may choose to share next or to pass.
We have recognized that following the suggested meeting safety guidelines and avoiding crosstalk are important. Crosstalk means giving advice, trying to fix, commenting directly to a person about what has been shared, or engaging in side conversations during the meeting. A safe environment allows us the freedom to experience and share our pain, and to admit to one another the vulnerable, secret aspects of ourselves.
The meeting generally closes with Twelve-Step-related announcements, the Seventh Tradition, The Promises, and a closing group prayer.
Q: What do couples speak about at an RCA meeting?
A: Speaker couple at RCA meetings have been invited to share their relationship experience, strength and hope. Couple speakers are encouraged to recount their own unique varieties of destructive and addicted relationships. Members may tell their couple story and how the nature of their individual problems and addictions affected the relationship.
We strive to focus on our coupleship issues and coupleship recovery, rather than individual issues or our partner's problems.
Other approaches to sharing may include: how you as a couple recognized your dysfunctions together; how you got into couple recovery; how you started to work the RCA Steps; how you found a sponsor couple; and how building intimacy is possible with the help of the Fellowship, the Steps, and your Higher Power.
Sharing hope is a wonderful speaker couple topic. How has your life improved since joining RCA? What difficulties do you continue to encounter? Howe are The Promises coming true in your coupleship? How are you developing couple friends and making time for your relationship in today's busy lifestyle?
Meeting speakers often find that they end up sharing wonders and worries about mutual partnership problems which they may not have previously acknowledged together. Speaking at a meeting is a wonderful gift in your recovery.
Q: What happens if we meet another couple we know at an RCA meeting? What do we say or do? What will they think of us if we talk about our real issues?
A: Anonymity is our spiritual foundation. It provides a safe place to recover. The slogan "Who you see here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here" provides a healing atmosphere. If you meet someone you know, it's important to practice mutual respect of boundaries. It is most important that we have care and concern for ourselves and for all our coupleships.
Worrying about what others think about us as a couple is called coupleshame. Coupleshame is common to many of us. Keep in mind that each couple attending an RCA meeting is there for the same purpose. Coupleships find healing and validation through a safe environment in RCA.
Q: What can we talk about at an RCA recovery meeting?
A: Our focus is sharing about who we are as a couple, and how individual issues and addictions impact our relationship. We listen and speak respectfully to our partners and others. It is important to avoid self-righteous statements and taking our partner's inventory. We take ownership of our own story and of our reactions to our partner. We also take credit for our progress and work in recovery.
Many of us have been crippled by shame or fear, and we find speaking among others a difficult task. It is important that each of us speak as soon as we feel that we are able. RCA members accept each other as they are, unconditionally. We each grow at our own pace.
Q: How can listening help us?
A: Many RCA members who regularly attend meetings have actually found that listening to their partner without interruption or without preparing a rebuttal or defense is extremely valuable. Listening increases understanding of our partner's point of view. Hearing other couples and listening to our partner build awareness and insight plus respect for others' differences. This acceptance and our willingness to discuss our problems help us to avoid confusion about our own coupleship issues. The last thing needed in couple recovery is shared denial!
Some of the things we listen for are identification of similar behaviors and feelings. How did this person or that couple respond to their situation? What changes happened for the speaker couple that we would like to happen for us? What feelings do we experience when we listen to particular stories? What action might we take based on new information we have gained at this meeting? Many of us believe that our "Higher Power" frequently communicates to us through other couples' stories, insights, feelings and problems. Our coupleship is worthy of recovery brought by listening well!
Q: How can we, as a beginning couple, share our experience, strength and hope?
A: We learn from one another. Each of us is important. No one couple has all the answers. We listen to learn, and we learn to listen! When we share honestly and openly in front of our partners and other recovering couples, we grow together and learn intimacy and healthy ways of communication. There are many opportunities for growth through Twelve-Step service, giving back what hs been given to us. Writing our story or an idea for the RCA newsletter, "Hand in Hand"; serving on one of the many World Service Board Committees; participating in local recovery service; and attending the International Convention -- all are some of the many opportunities for service.

SCHLADMING, Austria - Tessa Worley mastered a difficult giant slalom course to perfection twice, earning France its second gold medal and fourth overall at the world championships on Thursday.
Worley, a bronze medalist two years ago, posted the fastest time in both runs on the Planai course, the steep and icy run also used by the men at the event.
Worley finished in a combined time of 2 minutes, 8.06 seconds to lead the field by more than a second, a massive margin in skiing. Defending champion Tina Maze of Slovenia was third, followed by Anna Fenninger of Austria.
"A dream has come true," said Worley, who won seven races on the World Cup - all in GS. "I am very relieved. Winning in Schladming is great. This is not just a race, this is the world championship."
American teen Mikaela Shiffrin finished 2.30 behind in sixth in her first appearance at a major championship. Lindsey Vonn, winner of the last World Cup GS before the worlds, didn't race after a season-ending knee injury in the super G last week.
Maze, who has already won this season's World Cup GS title, was 1.12 back in second for her third medal of the worlds after winning the super G and placing second in the super-combined.
Fenninger was 1.18 behind to earn the bronze, the home nation's fourth medal.
Worley said the rock-hard course, including an unusual steep part for a women's GS, favored her.
"I like difficult hills," Worley said. "I knew before the start I could be really fast on this hill. I just had to ski freely and avoid mistakes."
Worley's victory followed up on gold for Marion Rolland in downhill, silver for Gauthier de Tessieres in super G and bronze for David Poisson in downhill.
"I am very proud of them all," Worley said. "We have a great atmosphere in our team and now I am a part of the party."
France won its sixth gold medal in women's GS at the worlds and matched the record held by Switzerland.
After winning four races this season, Maze started as a clear favorite. But she was more than a second behind Worley after a disappointing opening run.
Maze had to adjust her line shortly after the start and never looked comfortable as she struggled for rhythm.
The Slovenian rallied by putting in an all-attacking second run with an impressive finish.
"This medal is nicer than all others," Maze said. "I had a bad feeling after the first run. Everything went wrong and I was very down. It was my worst run all season. I tried to stay positive and then my second run was really great."
Olympic champion Viktoria Rebensburg was slowed by a rib injury following a training crash on Wednesday and finished 3.33 off the lead in 11th. Her German teammate, former overall champ Maria Hoefl-Riesch, was 3.09 back in ninth.
The GS featured a record 139 starters from 55 nations, including China, Uzbekistan, India, Iran, Libya, Taiwan and Armenia. Several skiers finished more than 30 seconds off the lead. Only the top 60 qualified for the second run.
The men's GS is Friday.

University of Alabama students' ad featuring former NBA star to air Monday
Published: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 5:44 p.m.
An anti-binge drinking public service announcement filmed by University of Alabama students and featuring former NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal will air during the BCS National Championship game on Monday.
The University of Alabama's advertising and public relations department, housed in the College of Communication and Information Sciences, launched the LessThanUThink anti-binge drinking campaign in 2010.
Last April, the campaign gained national coverage by shooting a PSA directed by Shaquille O'Neal.
The PSA will play during the championship football game between Crimson Tide and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Miami's Sun Life Stadium.
The PSA, sponsored by Bacardi USA as part of a commitment to responsible drinking, will air during the first quarter of the game.
Bacardi USA is a funding member of The Century Council.
"The Century Council is a leader in the fight against drunk driving and underage drinking and promotes responsible decision making regarding beverage alcohol," according to its website.
O'Neal agreed to participate in the PSA following a student-generated Twitter campaign at the University of Alabama. The 60-second PSA premiered Oct. 18, 2012. Students and faculty members from the department of telecommunication and film assisted with the filming and editing, and a student from the department of theater and dance played the starring role.
Mariah Fairweather, UA alum and former LessThanUThink team member, worked on the Shaq PSA and will be in Miami for the game.
"Having both my alma mater and the PSA in the stadium on the same night is like a dream come true," she said.

Former Partridge Family teen idol David Cassidy's 2011 stint on The Celebrity Apprentice wasn't exactly boast-worthy, but it did get the guy noticed by CBS.
Cassidy, 62, will turn up on an upcoming episode of CSI as a man named Mr. Coe. The character is described as a veteran poker player who is desperately trying to hold on to his fading youth. He has undergone massive injections of Botox, which has given him the added ability of maintaining a 'poker face' at the gambling tables. Is that cheating? And what price might Mr. Coe pay for trying to pull a fast one on the pit boss? We'll find out in the episode, tentatively scheduled to air on Feb. 27.Cassidy's last high-profile network guest spots were a 2005 episode of Less Than Perfect and a 2003 appearance on Malcolm in the Middle.

According to a new cross-national survey published in BMC Medicine, people living in wealthier counties are more likely to have experienced a depressive episode than those living in low and middle-income countries.
89,000 people in 18 countries were surveyed for major depressive episodes using a standardized set of questions. Approximately 15 percent of those living in 10 high-income nations reported having at least one depressive episode in their lifetime, The Huffington Post reports. For lower-income countries, the incidence was 11 percent.
No matter the location, it was found that women are almost twice as likely to experience depression. In wealthier countries, low-income respondents have double the risk of experiencing a depressive episode.
According to the research team:
"On one level, it seems counterintuitive that people in high-income countries should experience more stress than those in low- to middle-income countries. However, it has been suggested that depression is to some extent an illness of affluence."
The countries found to have the highest prevalence of a depressive episode are:
- France– 21 %
- United States– 19.2 %
- Brazil– 18.4 %
The countries found to have the lowest incidence are:
- Mexico– 8 %
- India– 9 %
- South Africa– 9.8%
Lead study author Dr. Evelyn Bromet, a professor of psychiatry at State University of New York at Stony Brook, says the fact that the same interview was used in all 18 countries is a potential weakness of the study. The standardized questions may not capture depression as well in low-income countries where mental health is not as widely discussed and where citizens may be less likely to open up to a foreign interviewer.

|I climed this mountain years ago. I summited Fremont in the same day and started up the weatherford trail across Agassiz. The wind was blowing hard that day. It hit me so hard it knocked me back 3 steps. We turned around when we got to the snowfield. It would be to dangerous to hike across the snow field with the wind being that powerful. Otherwise we probably would of summited Humphreys that day also.
