1. It's nice to be missed!: 07:36
Bryce Johnson e-mailed me to ask me why I hadn't signed up for Enterprise Camp. I sent my regrets and explained that I was in the Philippines. Oh, to be able to be in two places at the same time! But it's nice being missed...

2. Whatever gets the job done: 08:44
I should've tried dialing into the IBM conference center last night to confirm that our landline could connect to it. Had to go for Plan B: make an expensive roaming cellphone call for 30 minutes... Ouch!
All in the line of duty...

3. Working through the funk: 13:57
I felt tired this morning. Things weren't working smoothly. It turns out that the Philippines is probably not part of the toll-free area for by my research manager's call-in number. I found a workable but expensive solution for the moment: a roaming call off my Canadian-based cellphone. 30 minutes is going to be a whopper on my phone bill, but it's all part of the job.
Not only that, I couldn't log onto IBM's virtual private network. When I tried rebuilding the module, I started getting kernel version mismatches. I don't think I mistyped my password the first few times, and that password worked just two days ago. I may need Stephen's help sorting that out remotely, or I can ask IBM Philippines to see what we can do about getting on the network.
My thesis threatens to stretch even longer unless we can figure out how to cut it down to size. Fortunately, the people I'm working with are old hands at managing risk.
So yeah, I was in a bit of a funk. But I kept working anyway. The main thing on my plate is my talk tomorrow, for which I have prepared a few things - business cards, feedback forms, etc. Fairly mechanical, which was good, because I felt out of sorts. Now I'm feeling a little better. Water helps.
Now I'll make the slides. After that, I'll revise and rehearse my talk. It's only 30 minutes, and the challenge is really choosing from all the material that I could put into it.
When I'm done with the talk, I'll clean up the minutes for this morning's meeting and send them. I should probably have written them all down earlier, but I was feeling stressed about the business cards because that had been on my TODO list for the past few days without much progress. Now they're done!
The minutes might be a bit difficult to reconstruct. It was hard to deal with my cellphone and the computer keyboard. Next time, I'm taking paper notes.
Things are going to be okay.

4. Hate is as useful as love: 17:36
... sometimes even more so.
I'm beginning to hate the stress I feel about this thesis. The best way to deal with it is not to fight a long, protracted war. Nor is it to give up and walk away. No, the best thing to do is to finish it as quickly as possible so that I can get on with the rest of my life.
Let's make that happen.

5. Deja vu: 20:14
The Internet is still crawling. Takes me back to the days of BBSing, when you could type faster than the modem could send. I have to remember not to do my one-gazillion-tabs style of web browsing, as it's really inconvenient when the browser times out.
Do you know where I can find carrier pigeons? ;)

Baseball and Education: Padres LeadMarch 18, 2012
Fact: Between 1962 to 2000, 66 percent of players who had an education package written into their contract used at least a portion of it.
Dressed for the field, with their glove in hand, players sat outside on picnic benches waiting for us to speak. Coaches were lined up in the back. I hoped that they could hear me. Not just my voice but also my message. Padres' Manager of Player Development and International Operations, Juan Lara, introduced us, and we began our presentation.
Before we presented to the team, we sat down with Juan, and discussed our customized online degree program. Juan had a ton of questions for us. I liked that because it meant he cared. Juan played baseball only until the 10th grade. He confessed, "I couldn't hit."
Sure, baseball has its well known, on-field heroes, but much of baseball is led by those who have never played professionally. These leaders love baseball, the people in it, and what the game stands for. Juan is one of these leaders. Each day, he supports the players and coaches, so they can be their best in baseball. But he also thinks of what they can be off the field too.
Major League Baseball has a scholarship program to help players pay for their education. The scholarship and its amount are negotiated at signing. Players then have 2 years after their release date to use their funds. Some players use their money and many do not. The Padres encourage players to take advantage of their scholarship and to finish their college degree.
After our presentation, about 30 players and coaches came up for more information. Juan was pleased. One player took my card and warned his friend, "I'm going to get my Master's and then take over the world." I smiled.
You never know what you can accomplish with an education.

The whole first set is pretty good all the way through. Nice Landlady while they get the mix settled in. Trey is still kind of missing early on. Jim is good as are the next seven songs! If I have any complaint at all, it's that Maze is TOO pumping and they almost fall off at the end. What a problem to have. Right? Forbin is great, and funny to hear Trey have to repeat himself to make the band get quieter. Mockingbird is the weak link in this set. Very rusty but, it's been a while. Lots of EQ-ing noises going on. Monitors? Possum is great! Nice way to end a great set.
Funny Carolina to start second set and tuning Page's piano. Trey remarks that Page is in the dark ages. The Curtain is also a little rusty but still good. Mike's is good, Hydrogen has it's problems, Weekapaug is good but, has lots more feedback in it. Still with the monitors? In The Horse, Trey finally changed the lyric to; "I'd meet you in between." instead of; "until the in between." Probably for good now. Silent has gotten better. The backing vocals are way better. Timing is still a little off. Pen is good. Guelah featured announcements from Trey for some reason? Good Guelah though. Coil was also nicely done. Page is great as always. Fish's section has funny band intros which they use the megaphone to introduce Page. Good vacuum solo. Nice transition between drummers on the high hat to get into a ripping A-Train. Really good! Llama rocks but, features a Big Ball Jam in the middle. This makes it a little disjointed getting back into Llama. Pretty good set. Just a few rusty parts.
Awesome encores tonight! The very first Buffalo Bill is short and sweet. The megaphone comes out for a second time to do the count off in a super charged BBFCFM!!!
Much better playing tonight. Just a little rusty on some of the rarer tunes.

I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
My four day weekend was really fun! Spent it in Grand Forks eating, socializing and of course watching hockey! It was a lot of fun!! However, I'm scared to step on the scale.
I was going to work out tonight, but am so exhausted from driving and finishing up homework that my ambition is slim to none tonight. I'm promising that I'll get back at it tomorrow. My alarm is set for early morning and I have Body Pump tomorrow night.
I can tell I ate lots of terrible food and wasn't exercising. I felt like a pile of junk the last two days. I thought I was trying to eat healthy, but a salad didn't sound as good as a chicken fried steak with eggs and hashbrowns! I keep telling myself that this was it. This was my time to let go, now I'm back and ready to continue on this "adventure" I'm on.
Next time I'll talk about something I realized this weekend and how its going to help me to change my life for the better!

Man dead, officers injured after incident in Union
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 10:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 10:04 a.m.
A Fountain Inn man is dead after a wreck and physical altercation in Union on Wednesday evening.
Union Public Safety officers were called to a motor vehicle wreck on South Duncan Bypass at about 6 p.m. Once at the scene, officers determined the wreck location was in Union County and the incident was turned over to the Union County Sheriff's Office.
One of the individuals involved in the wreck, later identified as Jackie McBeth, 21, of 201 Chapman Road, Fountain Inn, left the scene and walked up Hart Street, which is within city limits. McBeth then got into physical altercation with a Hart street resident who was not involved in the wreck, according to a written statement from the Public Safety Department.
Officers with the Public Safety Department and Sheriff's Office intervened in an attempt to break up the altercation. At some point during the incident, McBeth lost consciousness and was transported to Wallace Thomson Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Union County Coroner William Holcombe said an autopsy was performed on McBeth, but a cause of death is pending further study.
Two Public Safety officers and two Sheriff's Office deputies were injured during the altercation and were treated at the hospital and released. Lt. Troy Wright with the Public Safety Department said the department is not releasing the officers' names because of "safety issues."
Due to the officers' involvement and injuries, the incident has been turned over to the S.C. Law Enforcement Division. The Coroner's Office is also investigating.

WASHINGTON (November 12, 2012)--One war is over, and another is winding down amid loud calls to cut the deficit.
The military has had robust budgets for more than a decade and now is coming to grips with a new reality in the form of fewer dollars.
The election accelerated an already shifting political dynamic.
The next year will pair a second-term Democratic president searching for spending cuts with tea party groups and conservatives intent on preserving lower tax rates above all else, even if it means once unheard of reductions in defense.
President Barack Obama and Congress have just a few weeks to figure out how to avert the automatic cuts to defense and domestic programs totaling $110 billion next year.

he traditional churches of Chiloé are characterized by the best use of environment resources, particularly the local wood, the interrelation with the landscape and for the making true of a mix cosmovision of aboriginals and Spaniards.
he churches belong to a typology of common and essential features, expressed in shapes, sizes and proportions with multiple variations.
hese temples stand near the coast, most of them are protected by the northern mountains and have a southern front doors, so that they were protected by the northern mountains and have southern front doors, so that they were sheltered from the rain. Churches are often looking to an esplanade that turns into a squere or just a simple space hedged by trees. Its size is not only related to the church dimensions, but also to the importance of the religious festivities held in the surroundings.
he temples consist of a big hermetic horizontal volume, the roof is of angled shape and is normally set on stoned foundations to avoid humidity.
The have a facade tower, that is the characteristic element of these type of constructions, which culminated as the typical pattern of Chiloé churches, in XIX century.
his facade tower is very simetric and it is formed by an arched entrance gate at the front.
he tower hold the cross and the belfry, which serve as reference for fishers and sailors. Inside the temple stands a basilican plant and three naves from which only the one located at the center reaches the background wall, while the two at both sides go up to a thin wall where the sacristy takes place and the room where liturgic objects are found. The naves are separated by wooden columns, which are mostly set in stones. The ceiling of Achao church is formed by segments distributed in five longitudinal grooves.
resently there are over 60 churches in Chiloé that correspond to this typology, and are know as School of Religious Wooden Architecture of Chiloé. Sixteen of these churches - the same most representative ones-are also considered National Monument, in Chile and World Heritage by UNESCO.

SAN FRANCISCO — There has been no shortage of early-season storylines for the reigning World Series champions, from Buster Posey and Brandon Belt's struggles, to Brandon Crawford's strong start and Tim Lincecum's bid to return to his old form.
Amid it all, Angel Pagan has plugged away in the leadoff spot, eager to make good on a four-year, $40 million deal the Giants gave him in December. So far, it looks like a deal the front office won't regret.
Pagan had a go-ahead two-run double in a 5-0 win over the San Diego Padres, clinching a sweep that started with Pagan's walk-off double on Friday night. Pagan is hitting .301 and is tied for fifth in the National League in runs (16).
Pagan hit just .250 last April, but said he came into this season with a different mindset. As he prepared for a shot with the Giants a year ago, Pagan believed he would be down near the bottom of the order and tasked with providing a little pop.
"They had Melky (Cabrera) at the top," Pagan said, "And I didn't know what my role would be. I tried to work on my power."
The Giants' offense took off last summer when Pagan returned to the leadoff spot he loves, and knowing that he was entrenched atop the lineup, Pagan altered his workout routine this offseason. The Giants have been burned by big-money outfielders (Aaron Rowand) and re-signed veterans (Aubrey Huff) in the past, but from the outset of camp, Pagan looked as fit as ever.
"I tried to work more on my quickness," he said. "I want to hit line drives, just keep it simple and get on base as much as possible.
Pagan has a .350 on-base percentage in April, a mark he beat in just two months a year ago. He has hit safely in 14 of 19 games and leads the Giants with seven multi-hit games.
Even with a new contract that set his family up for life, Pagan said he didn't feel that he could scale back at all in what ended up being a short offseason.
"When you win a championship, it makes you want to prepare for another one," he said. "I just fell in love with that feeling."

Now is the time to upgrade old lighting in your business.
You might be aware that your local electric utility offers incentives to replace old lighting systems with new efficient lighting but did you know that local business customers qualify for free lighting audits to help them determine the best lighting options, as well as estimate their energy savings and pay-back?
Many businesses have already upgraded their T-12 fluorescent lights to more efficient T-8s. The U.S. Department of Energy plan to phase out most T-12 technology does not mean businesses must remove T-12 fixtures, but it does mean that maintaining those systems will become more costly.
Fortunately, today's technology offers many more efficient options that can reduce your electric bill and provide you with better quality light.
Rebates are also available for replacing other inefficient lighting, including metal halides and high pressure sodium fixtures. Upgrade your lighting now and use rebates from your hometown utility to help pay for the project.
Call St. James Public Utilities today at 507-375-3241 to schedule a free lighting audit and find out how you can lower your energy bills and improve your bottom line. We want your business to have a lighting system that works well for you, and helps keep your electric bills affordable.
The Bright Energy Solutions rebate program offers a wide variety of incentives to encourage energy efficiency in business. To view all of the incentives available in our community, visit www.brightenergysolutions.com.

AUGUSTA --- An estimated 300,000 people in the United States have to deal with something called scleroderma. If you've never heard of it you are not alone, some doctors did not realize that's what one young girl was battling until she was brought to MCG Children's Medical Center.
Alyha Williams seems like any other ten year old. She doesn't like math, she's into art and Disney shows, but when you look at her scars you realize there's a different story behind the curtain.
"It actually started when she was about four years old. We noticed the discoloration of her skin," said her mom, Fabrege Williams.
Alyha went to a dermatologist, and other specialists who couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. It took doctors at MCG to step in and find out. It's tough for Alhya's mom to look back on the moment she found out. Now three days out of the week they make the drive from Savannah to Augusta for Alhya's sclerodema treatment.
"Sometimes I get scared because sometimes I don't like when I do it. I am tired sometimes, just coming up back and forth here," explained Alhya.
Dr. Rita Jerath is an associate professor of pediatric rheumatology and she explained, "This is an illness that is very very difficult to follow. You really don't have any labs you can follow. A lot of times it's the visual part of it."
Scelroderma affects Alhya's skin and connective tissues. Inside, the fibers that support the rest of her body are hardening and tightening because of too much collagen production.
"It started to tighten, started to get hard where she was not able to use that muscle," said Fabrege. "She would wake up with headaches, she would wake up with her whole body being completely stiff. She'd be in the fetal position where she couldn't move at all."
Alhya shared, "I feel bad because sometimes I wish I never had it."
For a ten year old getting dressed in a hospital gown isn't as exciting as getting dressed up.
"Over the years Alhya has had multiple other areas of involvement as well. This has made us treat her very aggressively." said Dr. Jerath.
Alhya's treatment includes doctors peeling away part of her skin to relieve tension. She's even had surgery to stunt growth in one of her legs to make walking easier, but it was her photo-therapy sessions that scared her. To get around that doctors played Lady Gaga music to put her at ease.
Fabrege says, "The doctors here are amazing. I cant express my gratitude enough to them you know how excellent of a job they do of making her comfortable.
Alyha has been treated at MCG since 2006. Dr. Jerath says it's unpredictable as to what will happen through her teenage years into adulthood, but they will be tracking it closely.

STOCKTON - A Stockton police officer and the suspect he was trying to arrest were struck by a minivan shortly after 8 p.m. Thursday.
The suspect, identified by police as 35-year-old Jessie Coley, fled on a bicycle when an officer approached him at Fremont Square on East Lindsay Street, authorities said. The officer pursued Coley in his patrol car until Coley got off his bike and tried to flee on foot at the corner of North San Joaquin Street and East Miner Avenue, police said.
The officer tackled the man in the middle of Miner Avenue, and the two began fighting, Lt. Michael Reynosa said. A woman driving a Pontiac Montana hit Coley and the officer, leaving the officer with minor injuries and Coley with minor to moderate injuries, Reynosa said. Both were taken to a hospital.
Coley, a parolee at large, was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest and violating his parole, Reynosa said. The woman driving the minivan didn't appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol and likely won't be arrested, Reynosa said.
The officer's name was not immediately released pending notification of his family.

Finding the Best Lost-Item Trackers: Tile, TrackR and Duet Reviewed
Thanks to New Bluetooth Tags, Your Keys, Wallet and Purse Should Never Go Missing Again
A quantitative analysis of my life would probably reveal that I spend three whole days a year searching for lost belongings. If I'm not looking for my keys, it's my work ID, wallet or glasses.
Where tricks for the absent-minded fail me, technology is ensuring I never lose anything again. Or at least that's a promise of the so-called Internet of Things: As more objects get low-powered wireless chips, they'll be in constant communication with each other—and our phones.
But heck if I'm going to wait for Marc Jacobs or Coach to embed wireless chips into their accessories. Instead, I tested Bluetooth tags that attach to my wallet, keychain, work ID and purse, and pair with my smartphone so I can keep tabs on them. Of course, that means I better not lose my phone.
Phone Halo's TrackR, Protag's Duet and Tile's tracking devices cost less than $25, are easy to set up, and are no bigger than a poker chip, so they don't really get in the way. All three resulted from successful crowdfunding campaigns. Apparently I'm not the only forgetful technophile out there. However, some work better than others in particular situations or locations. Tile and TrackR can leverage a community of users to find what's lost, but they're only as good as the number of people using the app.
At Close Range
These trackers work best when you've misplaced your items in close proximity, which is usually the case for me. (Yes, my glasses are often right on my head.)
When the trackers are in range of your phone's Bluetooth radio (100 to 150 feet), the app's proximity meter indicates how close your keys or wallet may be. Tile gives you text clues ("It's about an arm's length away") while TrackR and Duet show wireless signal strength.
Duet and TrackR let you set alarms that sound off on the phone and the tracker when the two are no longer connected. That is, when you've walked away from your precious belonging. TrackR's iPhone and Android apps even let you configure a song to play if the alarm is triggered. I chose the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Loving Feeling."
But even if you never again lose your keys, you may lose your mind with this feature. Anytime I stepped out of range—taking the garbage out, charging my phone in another room—the sensor on my keys tripped, and alarms (and that song) began blaring. TrackR says it's working on smarter sensing that can automatically disable alerts if you're still in the area. TrackR sometimes sounded off when a tag's Bluetooth connection failed. At this point, I'll be happy if I never hear Tom Cruise's famous pickup song again.
The alarms were extremely helpful when locating stuff in the bottomless vortex that is my big, multi-pocketed purse, however. All three apps let you sound an alarm manually to guide you to a misplaced item. Tile's loud, melodious tones were the easiest to hear at a distance, even beneath all the rubble in my bag.
Widening the Search
Because these tags rely on Bluetooth and don't have GPS or cellular Internet connections, they need a phone to determine their geographic location.
The upside is that the trackers are small and have batteries that last a year. (Duet and TrackR's are replaceable; Tile charges $20 for a replacement tag when it runs out of juice.) But the downside is that if I drop my keys on the street or in the back of a taxi, I'm pretty much out of luck, unless a kind stranger finds them and tracks me down.
While the apps report the last time the phone was in touch with the tracker, the map pins aren't accurate enough to be helpful. TrackR didn't always update a tag's location until I opened the app, either. Once, when my house keys were in the trunk of my car in New Jersey, the map insisted they were 23 miles away in Manhattan.
Phone Halo, which makes TrackR, says the issues I am experiencing could be related to the way the iPhone handles Bluetooth signals in the background. "We're working to maximize reliability," says the company CEO, Chris Herbert.
Duet's map got confused once when the tracker wasn't connected, pointing to a spot off the west coast of Africa, where neither I, nor my keys, have ever been. The company plans to fix the bug soon.
Tile and TrackR have other ways to find your stuff—ones that could one day create a massive crowdsourced lost-and-found radar. Any phones with their apps installed can quietly report the whereabouts of your tagged items to you. For now, it's unlikely someone sitting next to you on the train has these apps, but it may help if you can convince your friends or family to download the apps and sign up for the service.
Instead of texting my colleague who sits next to me to ask if I had left my ID at my desk, I asked him to install the Tile and TrackR apps on his phone. Without any involvement from him—or even his knowledge—I was able to see on my phone's map that my ID was in fact "last seen at 9:10 a.m." at my office. His phone pinpointed its location.
Tile's crowd-finding feature consistently worked better than TrackR's. My colleague often had to launch the TrackR app near my keys or ID to locate them, while the Tile seamlessly identified them. Duet plans to add a crowd-searching feature to its app this summer.
Overall, Tile was better designed and more reliable than the others, calmly keeping watch and pointing me toward my misplaced stuff when it went astray. Unfortunately, Tile only works on iPhones, and, due to a limited initial production run, it won't ship to new customers until this fall.
If you can't wait, the $25 TrackR is your best option, especially if you're on Android. But heed my warning about proximity alerts and alleged map pinpoints.
Yes, these trackers are still finding themselves, but if along the way they can save me from wasting time in my daily frenzy, they seem worth the minimal investment.

AVON, Colorado - Avon Elementary School's blue ribbon is huge, befitting their accomplishments to earned it.
Avon Elementary is one of only five Colorado schools to win this year's National Blue Ribbon School Award, and one of only 269 across the nation. Last week they threw a celebration with so much good karma that just by being in the room you could be forgiven for breaking campaign promises.
"Lots of people don't appreciate how much was achieved, how difficult this was to earn," said Wes Swearingen, an Avon Elementary school parent.
Fifth grader Hannah Haag declared it, "really cool." Classmate Alejandra Alvarado has attended Avon elementary since preschool.
"We've worked hard and taken lots of tests," Alvarado said. "That has helped us see where we're improving and where we need to work harder."
In the last two years Avon Elementary doubled its standardized test scores closed its achievement gap - the gap between the school's highest performing students and its lowest performing students. That made it an "Exemplary Improving" school - at least 40 percent of its students come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Of Avon Elementary's 235 current students, 87 percent are not native English speakers and 206 qualify as low income, based on their eligibility for free/reduced meal programs, according the school's data.
When the school district's charter school and a Catholic school opened nearby, white flight shifted the school's population dramatically. Students from more than 100 more affluent Anglo families sent their children to other schools each year, the school's Blue Ribbon application said.
The results were devastating. The school had failed to meet federal No Child Left Behind requirements for six straight years. Five years ago Avon Elementary was one year from being forced into corrective action and taken over by the Department of Education.
Principal Melisa Rewold-Thuon took over and implemented dual-language instruction, English and Spanish. Students quickly became bilingual and so have the teachers; 75 percent of the faculty is bilingual. Students get information in their native language, then apply it in a second language.
Reading scores soared from 25.53 percent proficient and advanced in 2007 to 67.83 in 2011, as measured by Colorado's annual CSAP test. Math scores were up from 38.85 percent in 2007 to 69.23 percent in 2011.
The last time Avon Elementary's CSAP scores were that high, the student body's ethnic makeup was almost the exact opposite of what it is now, according to the school district's data.
Student Josette Rivera's essay cut straight to the heart of the matter.
"This school is great, not because of the smart kids or great teachers, but because it's bilingual," she said.
Chico Thuon is Melisa's husband and he sees first hand how much work is involved.
"It's wasn't unusual for her to stay up until the middle of the night," he said.
It really does take a village, and Avon Elementary happens to have one, Rewold-Thuon said.
• The Vail Valley Foundation's Youth Foundation provides tutoring and after-school athletic programs, along with music and dance programs, an extended-year program, after school programs, Saturday schools and enrichment programs.
• The Cordillera Motorcycle Association gives them a hand up with school supplies and breakfast, making sure every student has a hot breakfast.
• Bratzo Horruitiner and the Vail Valley Foundation/Youth Foundation providing support to the school, including after school programs.
• Steve and Amy Coyer became honorary Bear Cubs for their support, which included taking the entire staff to dinner.
• Sara Fahney is PTA member from Avon who chaired Wild West Days, which raised more than $20,000 for Avon and other elementary schools.
• Walking Mountains Science Center and Markian Feduschak provide science programs.
• Ten students won an essay contest, writing about Why Avon Elementary is a National Blue Ribbon School: Alan Escalante, Alan Chavez, Lesley Juarez, Ulisses Carbajal, Zaira Najera, Tiffany Gaspar, Paola Solis, George Lopez, Patricia Solis and Josette Rivera.

Knitter's Review
May 1, 2003
Knitters certainly understand the fine nuances of different materials. Cotton is easily distinguishable from wool, while alpaca has a decidedly different touch than angora. Even among wool types we can feel differences.
The same is true for needles, whose composition runs the gamut from aluminum to plastic, milk protein, birch, and bamboo. Following up on last week's review of
plastic interchangeable needles
, we turn the tables to examine the simplest of the simple: bamboo single-pointed straight needles.

Almost lighter than air itself, bamboo knitting needles have a warm, organic feel that many knitters prefer. Learn more about a classic bamboo needle from

It's getting hot outside and the warning about the danger of the sun is more intense than ever. There are a few things you can do to protect yourself from the sun.
In 1935 the risk of getting Melanoma was 1 in 1,500 while in the year 2000 people have the risk of getting melanoma that is 1 in 75. Skin cancer can show it's self in several ways. Moles that are bleeding or change color, red scaly skin, sores that don't heal or spots that look pearly or waxy.
Doctors recommend that you check your skin at least once a month. Those over the age of 50 with fair skin and freckles are more at risk. All sunscreens are not the same, the higher the SPF the better, at least 30 to 50. And look for Micronized Zinc Oxide, it works the best and is sold under the name Coppertone Spectrum 3.

3.14-3 Wrongful Discharge
Revised to January 1, 2008
Under our law, contracts of employment
for an indefinite term may be terminated by the employer at will or, in other
words, at any time for any reason. However, there is an exception to this rule
where the employee is terminated in violation of an important public policy.
Such a termination is known as a wrongful discharge.
The plaintiff has alleged that
(he/she) was wrongfully discharged from (his/her) employment. In order to
prevail on (his/her) claim for wrongful discharge, the plaintiff must prove by a
preponderance of the evidence that the defendant's conduct surrounding the
termination of the plaintiff's employment violated an important public policy.
The court has determined that <state the policy allegedly violated> is an
important public policy.
Thibodeau v. Design Group One Architects, LLC,
260 Conn. 691, 699 (2002); Fenner v. Hartford Courant Co., 77 Conn. App.
185, 194 (2003); Carnemolla v. Walsh, 75 Conn. App. 319, 323 n.5, cert.
denied, 263 Conn. 913 (2003). It is for the court to determine whether an
important public policy is at issue in the case.
Where an employee has a statutory
remedy, i.e. an action under § 31-51m, (he/she) cannot bring a common-law
wrongful discharge action. See Burnham v. Karl & Gelb, P.C., 252 Conn.

Health & Parenting
Young Adults on Parents' Health Insurance Have More Access to Care
Feb. 14, 2012 -- Allowing children to stay on their parents' health insurance past the age of 18 increased young adults' chances of having a physical exam and made them less likely to go without care due to cost, according to a new study.
To understand how the new Affordable Care Act may influence young adults' use of health services, researchers compared health data from states that had laws enacted in 2005 or 2006, allowing young people to join their parents' policies, to states without them.
In the study, young adults had improved access to medical care in states with laws that let parents put them on their health policies compared to states where young people were not eligible for this extended coverage.
In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act made it mandatory for health insurance companies to make young adults up to age 26 eligible to be covered under their parents' policies. Before this went into effect, 34 U.S. states had similar laws, but the upper age limit and other eligibility criteria varied.
Prior to the new law, young adults between 19 and 29 represented a large proportion -- nearly 30% -- of adults under 65 who went without health insurance coverage. That's often because they weren't allowed to continue on their parents' premiums or didn't have jobs that offered them employer-based plans.
Better Access to Care
The study, published online in the journal Pediatrics, looked at CDC data from more than 2,300 young adults aged 19 to 23 before state laws went into effect. They compared this information to data taken in 2008 and 2009 from nearly 3,500 young adults living in states that had extended eligibility, and also to more than 17,000 young people in states without these policies.
States with extended eligibility had slightly higher rates of young people with health insurance coverage, as well as slightly more young people who had a primary doctor, compared to states lacking these laws.
The biggest improvements in states with expanded policies were a nearly 5% gain in young people who had a recent physical exam and a nearly 4% drop in those who would have done without medical care because of cost.

The Zac Brown Band knows how to show fans a good time.
Over the course of its two-hour concert Saturday at the SAP Center in San Jose, the Atlanta act played more than a half-dozen of its own No. 1 country hits; covered tunes by Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Stevie Wonder; donned glow-in-the-dark skeleton costumes; and invited Dave Grohl to the stage for a take on the Foo Fighters' great "Times Like These."
Now that's a party.
These Southern country-rockers have certainly improved as entertainers over the years. I first saw the Zac Brown Band at the Fox Theater in Oakland not long after the group burst onto the scene with the 2008 major-label debut "The Foundation." I wasn't all that impressed with the scruffy troupe then, but times -- and the band -- have changed.
Sure, the group still sounds like what would happen if Jimmy Buffett joined the Allman Brothers and sang from the Kenny Chesney songbook (in other words, it sounds a lot like Dave Matthews Band).
Yet, it's what they do with that sound onstage that really matters.
Opening Saturday's show with the 2011 chart-topper "Keep Me in Mind," the Grammy-winning septet immediately grabbed the attention of the 9,000-plus fans in attendance and only tightened its grip as the night progressed.
The first big surprise came about 20 minutes into the show as the band started playing the memorable opening to the Metallica anthem "Enter Sandman," which both delighted and horrified this major Metallica fan. It's just about the last song that any fiddle-playing band should cover, yet Brown and delivered an epic version of "Sandman" that James Hetfield would probably have enjoyed.
The musicianship was solid throughout the evening, peaking when the opening act -- Trombone Shorty -- joined the headliner for a luminous version of "Who Knows? (from 2010's "You Get What You Give"). The group showcased its improvisation skills on this number, making it clear why it's garnered garner a following in the jam-band world.
Zac Brown, the band's namesake vocalist, sounded great on the microphone, delivering just the right spin on both party numbers and slower offerings, and playing a mean acoustic guitar to boot.
Then there was the Dave Grohl incident. It was a bit strange to see the future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer -- who will probably get inducted twice, for his work with Nirvana and the Foo Fighters -- walk out and join the country act. Yet, it worked marvelously.
The crowd didn't quite share my enthusiasm about it all; they probably would have been more excited if a country star made the guest appearance. Yet, Grohl seemed absolutely tickled to be up there with the group.
"I just want to say that I've met a lot of bands in my day," Grohl said to the crowd before exiting. "But I've never met a better group of guys than the Zac Brown Band."
The Zac Brown Band brought the main set to a close in fine fashion, touching upon Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely?" before crooning through hits "Toes" and "Chicken Fried."
The band returned, dressed in skeleton costumes, for an encore that featured the title track to last year's "Uncaged," Led Zep's "Kashmir" and, best of all, the Charlie Daniels Band's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi cross country teams performed well today at the 23rd Annual Chile Pepper Festival. Despite missing critical runners, the women's team finished 11th out of 34 teams in the 6k, while the men's team placed 12th out of 32 teams in the 10k, at Agri Park.
"Overall we have been training hard," head coach Shawn Flanagan said. "There are a lot of good things we did today that we can build on. We didn't finish as well as we had hoped, but if we get everyone healthy and keep tuggin' away we will be solid heading into the conference meet."
On the women's side, the Islanders, who are ranked No. 5 in the South Regional rankings, finished 11th with 306 points. The squad placed two slots in front of Southland foe UTSA who finished with 403 points. Texas won the race with 85 points, while Arkansas placed second with 89 points.
"We finished 11th as a team, farther back from where we finished last year," Flanagan said. "The field was a lot tougher than last year, which made a difference."
Senior Kristine Burciaga led the Islanders for the second straight race with a 32nd-place finish with a time of 21:28.0. Senior Julia Sambu crossed the line in 44th place with a time of 21:46.2. Junior BreAnna Briggs and senior Danielle Higgins finished third and fourth for the Islanders in 70th and 79th place, respectively. Freshman Shelby Polasek stepped up for the team, with the absence of Sarah Kimaiyo. Polasek placed 116th with a time of 22:50.9. Sophomore Cecilia Gonzalez finished in 137th place with a time of 23:13.3 and Melissa Jones followed in 159th place with a time of 23:35.6. Freshmen Vanessa Galindo and Jasmine Boutte rounded out the field for the Islanders with times of 24:12.4 and 24:18.6, respectively.
"The top four ran very well," Flanagan said. "We didn't have Sarah Kimaiyo our No. 4 runner. Christine, Julia and Shelby ran solid races."
On the men's side, the Islanders, who are ranked No. 6 in the South Regional rankings, finished 12th with 374 points. The squad was hindered with a couple of injuries, but still performed a solid race. Oklahoma State took first place, while Arkansas finished in second.
Junior Patrick Kimeli had his fastest 10k of his Islanders career, while leading the men's team to a 12th-place finish with a time of 29:58.1. Freshman Christoph Hintz finished second for the squad, who was without No. 2-runner Angel Banda. Hintz placed 89th with a time of 31:44.4. Freshman Philipp Baar finished 105th in 32:01.2 and Valentinas Rudys crossed the line in 125th-place with a time of 32:12.7. Sophomore Jason Garcia placed 132nd and sophomore Justin Adame placed five spots behind Garcia in 137th place. Freshman Paul Hansel, rounded out the field for the Islanders in 155th place.
"Patrick ran really well," Flanagan said. "Christoph and Phillip had their best performances of the season and Valentinas had a solid race."
The Islanders are off the next two weeks and will return to action on Mon., Oct. 31, at 9:30 a.m. when they compete in the Southland Conference Championships in Nacogdoches, Texas.
"If you look at the conference on the women's side, UTSA put one runner in our top four," Flanagan said. "Our freshman beat their fifth girl, so it's encouraging. We have two weeks to get it together. On the men's side, at the conference meet the 8k will help us. We are fine in the region and in the conference, so we're looking solid going into conference."
Concordia University Invitational
The Islanders sent seven runners to Cedar Park High School in Austin, Texas to compete in the Concordia University Invite. In the women's 5k, freshman Marie Eulitz placed 16th with a time of 19:08.88. Freshman Jennifer Ramirez crossed the line second for the Islanders in 29th place with a time of 19:40.41. Shelby Nichols followed in 38th place in 20:01.75 and Julia Wohlschlegel rounded out the field for the Islanders in 45th place with a time of 20:32.02.
Junior Jacob Abrego was the first Islander to cross the line in the men's 5k race. Abrego finished in 17th place with a time of 15:57.84. Brandon Lacy placed 26th with a time of 16:10.05 and senior Jeremy Juarez recorded a time of 16:35.22 to finish in 42nd place.

The Detroit slugger puts plenty of pressure on himself to help the Tigers win, but when it comes to individual achievements, his approach is pretty low key.
"I always believe you can be consistent," he said. "I don't know if you're going to get better, but my goal is always to be consistent."
Cabrera has made that look startlingly easy. Last year, he became baseball's first Triple Crown winner in 45 years—and incredibly, his batting average was actually 14 points higher the season before. He's hit below .320 only once in the last eight years, and hit under 30 home runs once in the last nine.
There are no sure things in a sport as fickle as baseball, but Cabrera's contributions are becoming almost routine.
"Taking for granted is probably not the right choice of words, but I know he's going to do good—I'm pretty sure of that," manager Jim Leyland said. "I think you just really gain an appreciation for how good these guys are—major league players—and when you see one that's a special, special player ... we're pretty fortunate."
The Tigers held their first full-squad workout Friday on a wet morning in Lakeland, ending a busy offseason for Cabrera. It started late because Detroit reached the World Series last year, and after Cabrera hit .
Even spring training will be different than usual because of next month's World Baseball Classic. That interruption means it's more important than usual for Cabrera, a Venezuelan, to get a lot of work in early.
Last season, Cabrera moved from first base to third, and there is still a lot he'd like to improve defensively.
"Try to get better in the first step—side to side, to slow groundballs," he said.
At the plate, of course, Cabrera has no obvious weaknesses. His powerful, compact right-handed swing can do just about anything to pitches all over the strike zone. He homered onto a camera platform beyond center field in a game last June against the New York Yankees. The following month, his 300th career homer went sailing toward the ivy in that same area of Comerica Park.
But there are also more subtle features in his swing.
"Last year, I went through a little funk," said outfielder Torii Hunter, who signed with the Tigers this offseason. "I watched video on him, how he stays inside the ball and everything. So I went out there and tried it, and I was like 3-for-4 for four days."
Cabrera can apparently stay close to midseason form for 12 months a year.
"I remember when he left to go to Venezuela," catcher Alex Avila said. "I read in the paper that he wins the home run derby at their All-Star game. It's been like a month and a half since the season ended, and he hasn't hit at all, and just goes and wins a home run derby like that. It's incredible."
The biggest goal for Cabrera and his teammates is a World Series title. Cabrera homered once in an otherwise forgettable loss to San Francisco last year—the Giants swept the series in four games. If the Tigers reach the postseason again, he'll probably be the most feared hitter in their lineup—as usual.
His remarkable exploits have become the norm, but Cabrera can still amaze.
"That's the perfect swing," Hunter said. "To pull the ball, it's easy. But to hit the ball to right-center out of the park, that's hard, and he's probably one of the best at it."

2.4 Documents and sources
2.4.1 Historians customarily distinguish between primary sources, which were produced at the time of the events to which they relate, and secondary sources, which were produced afterwards and rely on memory or on the work of other historians. Clearly, primary sources are prima facie regarded as more reliable, although they must of course be assessed critically as to their authenticity, their authorship and their purpose. As far as secondary sources are concerned, the greater the distance in time from the events to which they relate, the more critically they must be examined. On the other hand, evidence given after the event in the form of testimony in a public trial is relatively sound because it has been given in public, participants in the trial have had the opportunity to challenge it, and their challenges are available as a matter of public record. This testimony too must of course be assessed by the historian as to the purpose or purposes with which it was given. Memoirs and reminiscences have also generally been subject to a process of verification in public through the means of publication and review, though the same principles of source-criticism apply to them too. Finally, there are interviews conducted with participants after the event by the historian. This is perhaps the most problematical kind of evidence. Historians must avoid leading questions; they must not suggest the answers they are looking for; they must try to probe the motives and purposes of those whom they are interviewing; and they must not take everything they are told at face value. Above all, they must interview at length, and in depth. A brief questioning conducted with the obvious aim of eliciting answers favourable to the historian's own arguments will convince no-one.
2.4.2 Historians also have to rely on each other's work. There is nothing wrong with this, where the work relied on conforms to the accepted canons of scholarly research and rests on thorough, transparent and unbiased investigation of the primary sources. So vast is the material with which historians deal, so numerous are the subjects they cover, so consuming of time, energy and financial resources is the whole process of historical research, that it would be completely impossible for new historical discoveries and insights to be generated if every historian had to go back to the original sources for everything he or she wanted to say. This need to rely on each other's work has nothing to do with copying or plagiarism: on the contrary, the conventions of scholarship ensure that footnote and other references are used in scholarly historical work to pinpoint precisely where the historian has obtained information, and to allow the reader to check up on this if so desired. Thus for example the documentation on which this Report rests is extremely voluminous; frequent reference has to be made to works by other scholars on the historical matters with which it deals; the central concern of this Report is in the end with historiographical issues, that is, with the methods used by Irving in writing about the past, and its use of historical subjects is only intended to provide illustrations of these historiographical points.21
2.4.3 In describing his critical approach to the sources for the history of Nazi Germany, Irving has stated that he rejects all 'post-war oral trial evidence', because those who gave it had an axe of some sort to grind. If they were defendants in a war crimes trial, then they would distort the truth in order to save themselves. If they were witnesses, they may have exaggerated their sufferings as an act of revenge. These are reasonable enough points; but they do not completely invalidate the testimony in question, otherwise all testimony given to a court after an offence had been committed would have to be ruled completely useless as a guide to the truth, an extreme point of view which no reasonable person would surely uphold. If Irving is claiming that war crimes trials evidence is inadmissible because it is oral testimony based on memory, he is incorrect. The Nuremberg War Crimes Trials amassed and used a huge quantity of contemporary written evidence on the basis of which the defendants and witnesses were questioned and which served in a variety of ways to underpin their testimony. Irving himself relies extensively on this documentation in his work.
2.4.4 Moreover, as this Report will show, when it suits his argument, Irving makes an exception and actually does use oral testimony from war crimes trials. In any case, Irving does not automatically disqualify oral testimony based on memory. On the contrary, he makes massive use of oral testimony: in particular, over the years he has interviewed a large number of Hitler's former aides and other leading former Nazis, and he places, as this Report will demonstrate repeatedly and in detail a faith in the reliability of their testimony that is almost entirely uncritical. If they were talking to him, after all, they must have been telling the truth! No need therefore to probe too deeply, or to interview for too long. But here too a genuine professional historian has to bring a critical attitude to bear. Former Nazis of all kinds had to construct a version of their own history that would allow them to live in relative peace in the postwar world. In particular, it was in their interest to deny all knowledge of, let alone participation in, the crimes of Nazism, including the extermination of the Jews. If they were part of Hitler's entourage, then it was in their interest to deny Hitler's knowledge or involvement as well, since admitting it would have been to incriminate themselves.
2.4.5 There is no reason to suppose that the story they told to Irving in this respect would have been any different from the story they told to everybody else. If they had an incentive to avoid implicating themselves before a court, they had a motive for persuading Irving to be their mouthpiece in continuing their personal quest for public exculpation at a later date. Their motives for denying their or Hitler's involvement in the extermination of the Jews were the same when they were talking to Irving as they were when they were being interrogated by Allied officers preparing for the Nuremberg trials. Their testimony has to be subjected to particularly searching critical scrutiny. The need for a critical attitude is borne out by the evidence of the memoirs that many of them published - self-serving, mendacious, dishonest, and designed to minimise their own involvement in the crimes of Nazism. This Report will examine many examples of this kind of evidence, much of it relied on by Irving in an entirely uncritical way.
2.4.6 Irving makes great play with his claim that he was the historian who first revealed the 'Hitler Diaries' as fake.22In 1983 - the fiftieth anniversary of Hitler's appointment as Reich Chancellor - the respected German weekly Stern serialized extracts from what its reporters claimed were diaries written by Hitler and recently made available from East German sources. Hugh Trevor-Roper (Lord Dacre), acting for Times Newspapers, declared them to be authentic. As a result, serialization of an English translation began in The Sunday Times. Confronted with doubts about the diaries' authenticity from a number of historians, Stern organized a press conference on 25 April. Irving had come into contact with the diaries through August Priesack, an old Nazi who had been one of the first to be approached by the forger in his quest for authentication. Priesack's collection of Nazi memorabilia consisted, as Irving immediately recognized, of obvious forgeries. This made it overwhelmingly likely that the 'diaries' were forgeries too. Funded by rival newspapers who wished to preserve their circulation in the face of a threatened scoop, Irving appeared at the Stern press conference and denounced them as a forgery. 'I know the collection from which these diaries come', he shouted from the floor. 'It is an old collection, full of forgeries. I have some here'. Within a short time he was proved right. The diaries were quickly shown by tests carried out on the ink and paper by the German Federal Archives in Cologne to be postwar products. Their author, Konrad Kujau, was eventually sent to prison for his offence.23
2.4.7 Irving is accustomed to portray his role in this affair as evidence of his unrivalled expertise on of the original source material for Hitler and the ''Third Reich''. Thus while eminent academics had authenticated them, he proved his superior knowledge of the original documents by recognising them for what they were - a crude fake. In fact, however, one of the reasons why the forgery got as far as being printed as authentic in the national press was the fact that eminent academics had not been allowed near them. Those who had, like the American historian Gerhard Weinberg and the Stuttgart expert on Hitler, Eberhard Jäckel, expressed grave suspicions almost from the very start. Even Hugh Trevor-Roper had changed his mind about them immediately after he had sent off his article to the Sunday Times authenticating them, and had used the Stern press conference, much to the discomfiture of the organizers, to give voice to his new-found scepticism.24
2.4.8 Moreover, what Irving fails to mention is that a couple of days after the press conference, he changed his mind. According to Robert Harris, he did this because he was uncomfortable at being aligned with majority, respectable historical opinion, because he was impressed by the sheer size of the diaries - sixty volumes - which seemed almost beyond the capacity of any one individual to forge, and because having finally seen the diaries for himself, they looked more convincing than he had expected. 'Finally', adds Harris, 'there was the fact that the diaries did not contain any evidence to suggest that Hitler was aware of the Holocaust.' Indeed, all the way through, they seemed to give a favourable impression of Hitler. Whereas most historians held Hitler responsible for the antisemitic pogrom of the 'Reichkristallnacht' in November 1938, the diaries showed him ordering a stop to it as soon as he found out about it. Whereas most historians thought the flight of Rudolf Hess to Scotland in 1941 the act of a madman, the diaries revealed him to have been acting on Hitler's orders in pursuit of a genuine peace mission. On point after point, the diaries seemed to endorse Irving's rose-coloured view of the 'Führer'.25 Soon he was on the front page of The Times declaring his belief in their authenticity. When forensic tests shortly afterwards revealed them definitively as fakes, Irving issued a statement accepting the finding but drawing attention to the fact that he had been the first person to unmask them as forged. 'Yes', said a reporter from The Times when this was read out to him, 'and the last person to declare them authentic.'26
2.4.9 What the affair of the 'Hitler diaries' actually suggests, therefore, is not Irving's skill in unmasking forged Nazi documents, his unrivalled knowledge of the source materials for the history of the ''Third Reich'', or his mastery of the most rigorous techniques of historical source-criticism, but his complete lack of any scruple when it comes to evaluating and making use of historical documents for the arguments he wants to put forward. If an obvious forgery like the 'Hitler diaries' gives credence to his views, he will use it. This Report will detail other, less spectacular but no less telling examples of this unscrupulousness below. Irving will use any argument, no matter how flimsy, to try and discredit genuine source material if it runs counter to his arguments. And if he cannot dismiss it, then he will manipulate it to the point of falsification, or suppress or ignore it altogether. Often he will attempt to disguise what he is doing by rendering his footnote references opaque rather than transparent, flouting one of the most basic requirements of historical scholarship in the process. These arguments will be substantiated at length in the course of this Report.

A former Kentucky pain clinic owner was indicted on federal drug charges.
Ernest William Singleton was arrested Monday in his hometown of Springfield, Ky., on charges of conspiracy to distribute oxycodone and conspiracy to launder funds.
The 44-year-old Singleton and his businesses, Double D Holdings and S&R Medical Enterprises, operated Central Kentucky Bariatric and Pain Management in Georgetown and Grant County Wellness Clinic in Dry Ridge.
Attorney General Jack Conway's office said Singleton operated the pain management clinics until closing them after state lawmakers passed legislation last year to curb prescription drug abuse.
Federal authorities are seeking forfeiture of farm land, vehicles, businesses, and other property that were purchased with illegal profits or used to commit the alleged crimes.
If convicted, Singleton faces up to 20 years on each count.

Kasich Draws Tea Party Challenger in Ohio
Ohio Gov. John Kasich's muscular support for Medicaid expansion in his state has earned him applause from liberals, sharp criticism from conservatives—and now a Republican Party primary challenge that could complicate the his bid for reelection.
Ohio tea-party leader and Cincinnati businessman Ted Stevenot plans to formally announce his candidacy in a press conference next week, according to a release sent out late Wednesday.
Mr. Stevenot's decision to run against Mr. Kasich will cheer Ohio conservatives who have chaffed over some of the governor's policy moves over the last year.
After riling Democrats by attempting to limit the rights of organized labor and by signing off on new abortion restrictions, Mr. Kasich has since stirred anger on the right with his strenuous defense of expanding federal Medicaid coverage, a key provision of President Barack Obama's new health-care law.
"What Ted wants more than anything is for voters in Ohio to have an alternative to the Obama-style agenda, which is what Kasich has offered," said Chris Littleton, the former president and founder of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, a tea-party group recently directed by Mr. Stevenot.
Mr. Stevenot didn't reply to requests for comment.
Mr. Kasich has slipped in recent polls, but both Democratic and Republican challengers may find it tough to top his name recognition and fundraising powers.
A Quinnipiac University poll in late November found him leading his main Democratic rival, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, by 44% to 37%.
Mr. FitzGerald has been campaigning since last April, but nearly three-quarters of Ohioans in the poll still said they didn't know who he was. Mr. Stevenot, who has never held elected office, will face an even steeper climb in gaining recognition around the state.
Mr. Stevenot's campaign will test the power and reach of the state's tea-party activists, who have so far notched few clear victories in Ohio. Longtime tea-party leader Tom Zawistowski was routed last year in his bid to be Ohio GOP chairman, losing to Kasich ally Matt Borges.
Mr. Kasich's office declined to comment, but the state Republican Party made it clear they will back the governor in any intra-party fight.
In a statement, state GOP spokesman Chris Schrimpf touted Mr. Kasich's economic record and said the governor "has and will continue to have the strong backing of the Ohio Republican Party.

MACK, Colo. (KKCO)-- The Alvarez Racetrack has a conditional use permit that allows the owners to host horse racing events. Neighbors living near the track are concerned by the hundreds of people that show up two Sundays out of every month.
"Not things that you and I would participate in is the way I'm going to put it," said neighbor Cheryl Thomas.
Thomas said those attending the races throw trash in front of her house and urinate on her lawn, and she said she's not the only one dealing with these issues.
Owners of the track recently petitioned neighbors in an effort to get a liquor license.
"So it was taking it a little too far with what their capabilities are because they are probably already not controlling what they got in their conditional use permit," said Mesa County Commissioner Craig Meis.
Thomas is concerned about her safety, but Track Manager Mike Salvidrez said money from alcohol sales would be used to increase security on the property.
"It's concerning because this is a nice neighborhood, and we didn't have any problems before," said Thomas.
The liquor license application was denied in a two to one vote by Mesa County Commissioners, but neighbors are still concerned about the future of the track.
Commissioners say they will be looking into whether the track is operating under the regulations of the current conditional use permit.

When all the pressure's on the No. 1, the role of backup goalie would seem like the easiest job in the world. But the opposite is the case, just ask Montreal's little-used keeper Alex Auld.
Is there a tougher job in major league sports than the seldom-used backup NHL goaltender? Being a pro football kicker sure requires a thick skin and steely nerves; the line between hero or goat is thin and crossing it can be at the mercy of weather, even a bad snap.

A minor hockey coach who pulled his team off the ice after one of his players had a racial slur directed his way has been suspended for the rest of the season. And that's not right.
Imagine you're at work or school. You're about to give a presentation and someone calls you fat, or ugly, or stupid. Or, worse yet, hurls a racial slur your way.

There's been a lot of debate over Sidney Crosby's career as to where he sits among the game's active great, but his play this year makes it clear he's No. 1.
Is there any doubt 'The Kid' is the best player in the world? If there was before this season began, there shouldn't be anymore. We've been hearing the Sidney Crosby-Alex Ovechkin debate for five years and it's always gone the same way: Ovie is more dominant and wins a lot of individual accolades, but Sid has some of his own along with a Cup, another final appearance and a gold medal.

Between the Islanders, Sabres, Rangers and even the Devils, it's a terrible time to be a fan in New York State.
You know what sucks? Being an NHL fan in New York right now. The Islanders and Devils (hey, if the NFL's Giants and Jets can play in New Jersey and still call New York home, I'm counting the Devils, too) are holding down two of the league's bottom three spots and have the two worst offenses in the game.

With only five wins in 19 games, if John MacLean's Devils don't turn it around soon, he'll follow Scott Gordon to the unemployment line.
Scott Gordon was the first coach to go this season – banished from the Isle after just 17 games – and you don't need the Oracle at Delphi to figure out where the next coaching casualty will come from.

It's been a rough start to the NHL season for Ottawa and there's no quick fix available via the trade market.

Though it would have been a bold and unexpected move, Montreal would have been wise to offer its coaching job to the man now at the helm in Tampa Bay.
There's an unwritten rule in sport that you never block your best people from moving on to bigger and better things. Sure, sometimes you hear of a team refusing another's request to interview a coach or executive, but no franchise wants to be known as one that stalls the careers of its personnel.

An aging team, the Red Wings still have a lot of fight left in them and can be compared favorably with the last Leafs team to win it all.
It's been 43 years since Toronto last won the Stanley Cup and it'll be 44 come next June. But the 1966-67 Maple Leafs season was a magical one.

While Glen Sather hasn't put together a dynasty since his Oiler days, he still makes magic happen and shouldn't be labeled as the league's worst GM.
As a kid in the mid-to-late 1980s, I remember shinny on the frozen creek behind my parents' house during downtime in the winter and pretending to be various Edmonton Oilers in the driveway during warmer months – never a guy who needed to be a star, I replayed Mike Krushelnyski hopping out of the way of a shot that got through for a goal over and over again.

After a fight during scrimmage and in a pre-season game, Mike Komisarek has to tone it down before he gets injured again.
When the Maple Leafs signed defenseman Mike Komisarek to a five-year 22.5-million contract in July 2009, it was seen as one of GM Brian Burke's initial steps towards creating a rough-and-tumble team with skill, much like his Anaheim squad that won the Stanley Cup in 2007.
