CrossFit Low Oxygen athletes greeted each other with smiles and brief conversation as they wandered through the open garage door of the Frisco Training Center Monday evening.
The class of 14 was getting together for the workout of the day, a fitness regime mapped out by CrossFit Low Oxygen owner and trainer David Tittle and his brother, Brent Tittle. They opened the facility in January, with the focus on core strength and conditioning.
"Everyone has different limits and capacities, but we scale it to your ability," Tittle said before class began. Indeed, the class was roughly half men and half women, ranging from high school athletes to young desk jockeys to middle-aged individuals. Tittle said he has members from 17 to 70. He's even had military groups come through his facility for high-altitude training.
"It's about continuing to move properly and doing things you're uncomfortable doing," he said. "It's not heavy and fast all the time."
The gym sits in a formerly vacant property on Tenmile Drive, tucked behind Meadow Creek Tires. Tittle recently expanded the facility to include a second bay, because membership grew to 90-some individuals and the initial space wasn't enough. He's still remodeling the new space, which was acquired about six weeks ago and will include a classroom as well as additional workout space.
The workouts make use of Olympic weightlifting platforms, gymnastics rings, climbing ropes, pull-up bars, sandbags, medicine balls and more to improve endurance as well as sprints, gymnastics and muscle building, and weight training.
"The focus is there is no focus," Tittle said. "Be good at everything."
He emphasized that CrossFit puts the body under pressure for about 22 minutes out of each one-hour class. Data show a 90-minute session at the recreation center typically results in about 5 to 10 minutes under pressure, he said.
He added that CrossFit provides workout variety, and challenges individuals to do into exercises they're not used to.
"People get bored with their daily grind. Nobody's excited. Nobody's challenged," he said, adding that he has individuals join CrossFit who could bike or run for hours, but find themselves challenged with the gymnastics rings or pull-up bars. Taking on those new activities creates a more well-rounded athlete, he said.
"This sets you up for success. You will be challenged, but we are not here to beat you up," Tittle said.
Member Claudia Schaefer said she's back at the gym with CrossFit after two back surgeries. She's been in classes just two weeks following a required acclimation course. She refuses to go to the recreation center on her own and says it's comforting to know a professional trainer is in the room to monitor the group.
"I'm already seeing changes," she said, speaking of her strength. She added, "My clothes fit better around the waist."
She added that the group is supportive - that her classmates of all abilities want to see each other do things they never thought they could do.
Tittle requires all new members to take a six-class acclimation course to learn everything from the exercises that appear in the workouts to the importance and keys of nutrition, sleep and stress.
Memberships vary in price depending on the desired amount of weekly gym access. Twice weekly starts at $90 per month and unlimited access each week costs $175 per month. Tittle currently offers 36 classes per week, starting at 6:30 a.m. with the last class at 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. On Saturdays, the gym is open for personal coaching and training tips.

i think either okc lakers or the heat
I would say OKC, the Heat, or the Lakers if they get Dwight Howard. I think a Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant backcourt with a Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol frontcourt would be very very difficult to stop. Plus if they were to match up with the Heat it would be:
Steve Nash - Mario Chalmers
Kobe Bryant - Dwayne Wade
Metta World Peace - Lebron James
Pau Gasol - Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard - Udonis Haslem/Joel Anthony
I think this would be a really fun game to watch. The problem is the Lakers would be weakest where the Heat is the strongest. SF. However it would work both ways as Dwight Howard would have a fairly easy time.
that would be fun to watch it would be close to but lakers win series 4-2
id love to see that in a seven game series. its gonna be cool watching them play regular season games
I would say if they played as last year San Antonio
West:Lakers, OKC, San Antonio
East:Heat Bulls n I gotta root for my team there Celtics
The NBA Champions iis going to be the Miami Heat because they have upgraded and are now better with the additions of sharpshooters such as Rashard Lewis and Ray Allen. I believe with superstas on the Miami Heat of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James they are going to find those open shooters. However, the Los Angeles Lakers can win it all next year if they get Dwight Howard because if the Lakers make it to the Finals and face the Miami Heat the Lakers will be victorious because of Howard's presence because Miami is not good against teams with great big mans. My say as if right now is Miami Heat. Repeat!!

Seems like a good time to post my little Pope story.
Two months after Pope Benedict discovered the internet, he found himself getting caught in a familiar catfish entrapment operation while surfing chatrooms for the deaf. This resulted in what would become my favorite episode of To Catch a Predator. The one where Chris Hansen tells the Pope to have a seat. For a brief moment the Pope considers making a dash for it
but whats the use? Hes too old to care and hes tired of running.
Hansen: Do me a favor and just go have a seat. What are you doing here?
Pope: I dont know.
Hansen: You dont know. Now in your chat here you essentially say that youre a Pope.
Pope: Yeah. Im a Pope.
Hansen: Dont you think that might impress an alter boy? What was your plan here today?
Pope: I seriously dont know.
Hansen: Well it looks like you do based upon this chat. What made you think it was okay at 85 years old to walk into a home and use your authority as the Pope to get a 13 year old alter boy to play confessional with you? You know that hes deaf, right?
Pope: Well, I wasnt so sure he was deaf to be honest with you. But I wasnt here to listen, Im here for a friend. That wasnt me in the chat log youre holding.
Hansen: So youre not HitlerYouthPope1927?
Pope: Ugh. I wasnt going to do anything. I came to check on a situation weve been dealing with at the Vatican.
Hansen: A Vatlileaks situation.
Pope: Yeah. What were dealing with here is bigger than one old man visiting one young boy. Listen, Im not going to yank your chain. This is well beyond an isolated incident. This is a systematic problem within my organization and Im trying to deal with it my own way. Wait are you a police officer?
Hansen: No, Im not a police officer. Well get to who I am after you explain yourself a bit. I see you brought a bag. Do you have condoms in that bag? Why am I asking that of course you dont.
Pope: Alright .listen. Im the leader of the most powerful and politically influential religion in the world. You see this pimp ass cane? See the righteous, jewel-bedazzled hat that Im wearing? That means Im the infallible shit. However, years ago when I was archbishop in Munich, I helped out a few serial pedophiles. Rather than refer them for prosecution I simply transferred them to other parishes. I was all like, WWJD? judge not or whatever whatever. Well, as you might expect they went on to molest more boys. A lot more. Which really sucks because I did the dude a solid thinking hed get his act together.
Hansen: Do you know how many times I hear that same story?
Pope: Do you know how many times I hear that same story? No, I know. Im sure. But I was in charge of dealing with thousands of abuse cases on behalf of the Vatican and things just got out of control. Thankfully the Church was able to suppress the news on a lot of these cases, and it also helps that clergy priests dont get included on sex offender lists. But now Im stuck dealing with a whole new batch of problems and its the same shit! Weve got 200 deaf boys trying to embarrass the church by ratting out a priest named Father Murphy. I should have defrocked him when I had the chance.
Hansen: Shoulda woulda coulda. But that doesnt make it right for you to
Pope: I know. It looks bad that Im here and my story is all over the place but Im just nervous right now. Im here to confront the boy and talk some sense into him. Be a mentor, ya know?
Hansen: A mentor. I understand that Catholicism has a great consolidation of power and control, but heres the problem not everyone plays your reindeer games.
Pope: I know, I know. A lot of people are leaving the church. Its like a mass exodus. Thats a whole other stress Ive gotta deal with now. People dont seem so keen on the constant guilt trips anymore, especially not when they come from such a hypocritical source. Its got me rethinking this whole clerical celibacy thing. I mean we dont even allow masturbation and we just pulled that rule out of thin air basically. Turns out that no sex ever thing might make the human brain go haywire. Maybe we should go back to the way things originally were and let priests get married and have sex and, ya know live their lives in a natural and healthy manner.
Hansen: Hey, maybe youll even let gay people do the same thing someday. But Im not here to help you update your practices so that you can pretend to still be relevant. You dont believe in evolution anyway. I just want you to know that my name is Christ Hansen. You see these cameras? We are doing a story on spiritual predators. If you have anything else to say please do, otherwise you are free to leave at any time.
Pope: Oh wow. Love your show. OK well just understand something. If you put this on television you will find yourself in a world of shit. Ive already proclaimed that any criticism against me is an act of terrorism. Those are kinda the measures we need to take unfortunately.
Hansen: Youre free to leave.
Pope: Bless you.
When Pope Benedict XVI exited the house he was not arrested.
He was not tackled onto the ground by overzealous cops.
He did not run.
He sauntered over to the helicopter and flew off into the sunset.
No not into it. Over it.
Just to make sure he could live out the rest of his days the way he always enjoyed them
Out of reach
and above the law.
Props to Redball on the gif.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 46 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by Yogarunread Eh I returned these. They were too stiff and caused pain in my heal. I needed more cushioning in the forefoot. May 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Activegrandma Great for my plantar fasciitis ! Good arch and cushion for high impact sports, like jogging, burpies, treadmill, etc. May 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mdmom Best ever Nothing has worked before - After wearing these for only a day - foot pain decreased by 90%. Great product and worth the money May 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by ibis1 Good Insole I have been looking for good insoles for a long time. These have been the best I've found. If you buy a pair, don't worry about the length. They will all need to be trimmed at the toe end. Make sure your heel fits into the cup. Also give them a little time to break in. May 8, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5�by RMD Does Not Live Up to the Hype It is alright but not anything worth bragging about. I am returning mine. Good Arch support and good heal cups. I stand on cement for 8+ hours a day and I am looking for something very soft. April 15, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by GBoy Didn't work for me The product is quality but it didnt work for me. My knees started hurting after the firs few hours. My back started hurting the next day. Have to return them. February 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kids4 100% satisfied My 11year old has been playing basketball and dealing with excruciating heel pain caused by a condition called slayers disease. He recently saw his podiatrist and it was recommended that he get super feet insoles. We purchased them that evening and have not heard him complain of heel pain since. February 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by DC COMPARABLE TO INSOLES FROM A DR. Just as comfortable and supportive as ones from a Dr. December 29, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by Jodyb This product didn't make me smarter or prettier or even run faster, but it adequately supports my feet in my running shoes. This product supports my feet in my shoes. It just doesn't seem like it should be so expensive. November 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by RobertL More comfortable than expected. Highly recommend. I've dealt with plantar fasciitis for about 3 years now. Although surgery helped, it did not solve the issue completely. I tried several other insoles and this one was my last hope before I get custom made ($$$). I went 1 size larger than what matched my shoe size because the arch fit my foot better. Remember you can always trim the insole to fit. I was a little concerned these would not have enough cushion but I've been impressed. I highly recommend these to anyone having PF issues or foot/knee/leg/back pain in general. You may not need this aggressive so be sure to do your research and test a few out in the store.

Dispute escalates; teen accused of stabbing stepdad
February 6, 2013
An argument over household chores escalated Monday night into a physical altercation, during which a Lowell woman allegedly stabbed her stepfather. Angela D....
Another bad make-up day. Maybe she was driving when she was putting it on.

He was hitting her with the broom and should have been arrested as well.He obviously wasn't hitting her in self defense since he started the fight to begin with.He obviously has prior records of this type of behavior and his punishment hasn't been a deterrent.She should have left and made the necessary calls instead of knifing him and removed him from the property.Also,2 wrongs don't make a right,but he was suppose to be more mature than her due to his age and control his behavior more.

Too bad this girl's mother chose an SOB to marry--maybe this girl has tolerated his abuse for years and finally snapped. Hard for someone who was raised by decent parents to see her perspective. Even so, she should've just left and called the police.

At municourt some people get out on a PR bond for meth labs whereas others get 25,000 for verbal arguments. Makes no sense.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
OK, to the liberal Mommys, the guy is a no good piece of crap, the 18 year old woman is in the same category, and the only criminal they left out is the 18 year old's Mommy. Why did she expose her daughter to this ill bred piece of trash and let him drag her down into his gutter??? I say lock all three of them up!!!
4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
so he beat her with a broom, she defended herself by stabbing him, i remember a story not to long ago about a beating where a boy stabbed someone beating him and he was a hero for it not arrested, and she was arrested and now has a record? while he is walking around free playing the victim card? who cares if she is 18, who cares what the fight was over, fact of the matter is she does not deserve to be beat with any object for any reason and had every right to defend herself! she was probably in fear for her life, self defense! especially given his history! this story makes me sick. she should have been taken to the eve shelter not jail, and who said anything about her being on drugs, just because of her picture? she just got the crap kicked out of her! shame on you judgmental people. live her life!
9 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Belmont, arguing over who takes out the trash or cleans up the kitchen is NOT an excuse to beat someone with a broom. What is wrong with you? I disagree with your asinine remark, but that doesn't give me the right to hit you. She should get her own place, but only so she can get away from a "man" who has multiple domestic violence charges and protection order violations.
6 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Surprised at the size on the Bond. I know of arrested repeat drug dealers who haven't had that high of a one.
9 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If an 18 year old doesn't want to carry out the trash at her step-dads house she should get her own place to live and let the trash pile up to the ceiling. On her next drug run he should change the locks on the doors.
8 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What a dirtbag. He's a man. Probably bigger and stronger than she is. He's also got a lengthy record of violence, but she's arrested for defending herself in probably the best and only way she could. Kudos to her for standing up for herself. I'm sure it wasn't the first time he's hit her and she was probably sick of it.
14 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This guy has been in the county jail 8 times..?? All for domestic/abuse/violence....??? Why was he out in the first place? obviously his run ins with the law have had little effect. Sounds like he's lucky she only got him the leg!

Center awards funds for biofuel advancements
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 4:47 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 4:47 p.m.
FLETCHER — The Biofuels Center of North Carolina awarded $766,256 to 14 entities led by AdvantageWest Economic Development Group to advance biofuels in the region and create jobs, support sustainability, agribusiness, diverse education and research and development capabilities.
Entities involved:
--N.C. State University Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center
--Catawba and Transylvania counties
--Appalachian State University Energy Center
--A-B Technical Community College
--The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
--Bent Creek Institute
--Biltmore Estate
--Blue Ridge Biofuels
--Land-of-Sky Regional Council
--Renewable Developers
--Mountain Research Station
--WNC Communities
"This is the foundation to have realistic positioning for new crops, resources, learning and new regional coordination to bring to a new sector of the agricultural economy, environment and future," Steven Burke, president and CEO of The Biofuels Center, said Wednesday at a ceremony announcing the grant at AdvantageWest.
The grant is the largest single award given in the Biofuels Center's history, and partners in the project will make a 50 percent match in services and financial contributions for a total investment of $1,149,384.
The partnership project, "Planting the seeds for a robust WNC biofuels sector," will increase biofuels production and use in the region through four goals:
u Expand feedstock reliability, including oil crops, spent brewery grains and woody biomass.
u Improve value-chain economics through co-product opportunities such as extracting substance from spent brewery grains.
u Expand demand through the establishment of new biofuels testing laboratory and development of outreach tools.
u Ensure regional coordination from a new strategic WNC biofuels coordinator and investigate a multi-tenant biofuels and bioproducts industrial park.
The project is supported by funds from the Tennessee Valley Authority Clean Air Settlement that were directed to the Biofuels Center by the N.C. General Assembly.
The "Planting the seeds for a robust WNC biofuels sector" campaign is expected to result in increased biofuels production and utilization to as much as 5.2 million gallons per year by 2017.
"AdvantageWest and our project partners believe that the business case for North Carolina-grown biofuels production and utilization will lay the foundation for long-term industry growth in Western North Carolina, expanding our region's hub of clean energy industries," said Tom Alexander, chairman of the AdvantageWest board of directors. "Today is a great day for this region."
North Carolina's Strategic Plan for Biofuels Leadership, developed by the state legislature in 2007, calls for 10 percent of the state's imported oil to be replaced with local biofuels by 2017, according to AdvantagWest officials.
"This nation is desperate, hungry and in the business of finding regions, areas and states around the country that can begin to show their land and their resources can work together to produce liquid fuels to help America meet its goal," Burke said.

For instance, if Saturn donated money to a Pro-Choice org, and RJD2 was radically opposed to abortion, and he STILL did the commercial, it might be worse, but in that instance his name, nothing about him is other than the background music is associated w/ him.....who would have known that was RJD2 if somebody didnt tell you ?
its a matter of principal, Common has said one thing and done another, I dont see how RJD2 fits into that....

C H AR" SAL/SH KOOTENAI AND PEND'd ORIELLES TRIBES CHARLO KOOSTAHTAH KOOSTA SMIMII (Salish: News) Volume 3 - Number 4 FULL MOON OF THE CAMAS BLOO vIING (June 15 49 73) Price 15 cents 90 Percent Distribution PI an Goes to Polls June 30 On June 30 reservation Indian voters will go to the polls to decide whether the tribe should make a policy of distributing 9 0 percent of reservation revenues...a move which on one hand has been calle d "liquidation by slow strangulation" and on the other "the best thing that has happened since the Indian Reorganization Act." The 10-9 0 proposal (so called because it would withhold ten percent of annual reservation revenues for administration while distributing the rest to the enrollment) has generated a lot of heat since it was proposed in February by Councilman Fred Whitworth, Arlee. Withworth and Bud Moran Arlee, went through the 1973 Tribal budget and computed it with administrative services they felt the tribe really needed —turning some essential services over to other governmental agencies ... and came up with an administrative budget of $ 3 51,415.6 4 or just under one tenth of the projected 1974 revenue income of $ 3,9 6 2,0 6 9. The budget and distribution plan were presented to the Council along with a slate of 13 constitutional amendments designed to increase the efficiency of tribal government and administration. The amendment package was presented by Councilman Tom "Bearhead" Swaney and Lillis Waylett, Ronan, and the two plans ... Whitworth's budget and Swaney's admenments... were to be forged into an integrated government improvement program. On Feb. 20, however, the amendments were tossed out a and the Council voted to trv to operate the tribe on ten percent of the revenues and distribute between 50 and 90 percent to the enrollemnt. The compromise was offered by Councilman Pat Lefthand of Elmo, who said he thought the tribe should try to operate on less money but felt that binding the tribe to a 9 0 percent distribution would be too severe a handicap. With the Council turning down the 9 0 percent distribution plan, the proposal was taken to the people in the form of a petition calling for a referendum. The Tribal Constitution and Ordinance 5 3 - A provide reservation -resident voters the power to overrule the Tribal Council Council resolution votes can be overrulled by the tribal voters with a petition containing one-third of eligible voters signatures calling for a referendum election. A Council action can be overturned with a majority vote of at least 3 0 percent of the eligible voters balloting. On March 15, a petition with 5 59 signatures, calling for an election on the 9 0 percent distribution plan was filed with Tribal Secretary Fred Houle, Jr. Houle presented the petition to the Council on April 5, noting that 511 of the signatures were valid. On April 28 the Council accepted the petition, binding them to call an election within 9 0 days. The June 3 0 date for balloting on the 9 0 percent distribution proposal was set during the Council meeting May 19. The elections committee had not yet met as Char-Koos-ta went to press. The committee must establish rules and appoint an election board for each district. Unofficially, election procedures will be as follows: —-Balloting will be at regular precincts except in Ronan where the committee will have to assign a voting place. —-Polling hours will be from either 10 :00 a.m. to 8 :00 p.m. or from noon to 8 :00 p.m. —-Resident members entitiled to vote in Tribal Council elections will be eligible. There are currently 1,484 members who meet the one-year residency age requirement (21 years). The Issue The central issue in the 10-90 controversy is whether or not the tribe wants to return to the security of a complete trust relationship with the Bureau of Indian Affairs or pay the going rate for control over their reservation resources and cultural destiny. Councilman Whitworth and the proponents of 9 0 percent distribution contend that in the 37 (More on page 6) State Supreme Court Reviewing Pierre Case Helena (May 31): The Montana Supreme Court is reviewing its own decision in the civil debt case between Flathead Indian Richard Isaac Pierre and the Security State Bank of Poison. The State's high court opened hearings last Thursday into their February 7 decision which ruled that state courts do not have jurisdiction over . Indian debt claims on the Flathead reservation. Arguments from attorneys for the bank questioning the constitutionality of the laws which make Indian reservations separate legal entities opened the rehearing of the case. Missoula attorney Vic Valgenti, Representing Pierre, and Tribal Attorney Richard Beanen pointed out to the court that the con- stitutionality of the laws was not an issue in the case since the U.S. Supreme Court had already upheld the separate jurisdiction question in the Kennerly case. On February 7 , the Monana Supreme Court unanimously overruled a 19 7 2 decision by Poison District Court Judge E. Gardner Brownlee which granted the Security State Bank of Poison a civil debt judgement against Pierre. In overturning Judge Brownlee's decision, the high court noted that the eight point concurrent jurisdiction agreement between the tribe and the state did not specifically grant civil debt jurisdiction to state courts. The concurrent jurisdiction agree- Pollman Files For Dismissal Missoula (June 4): A motion to dismiss tribal-federal trespass charges against a Poison man have been filed in Missoula Federal District Court. A Missoula attorney representing Harlan Pollman, Finley Point, made the motion last Monday to drop fishing trespass charges on the grounds that tribal ordinance 4 4-A— the tribal recreational permit law — violates the civil rights of non-Indian reservation residents. The motion, by attorney Sam Haddon, also claims that a referendum provision in the ordinance was never met, which therefor, invalidates the law. (continued on page 2)

RICHMOND -- The City Council on Tuesday directed staff to craft three potential minimum wage hikes for the Nov. 4 ballot that would give local voters the chance to pass the highest minimum wage in the region.
The council unanimously supported directing staff to develop three options for the minimum wage, of $11, $12.30 or $15 per hour. If the council approves one of the rates within 60 days, it would go before voters in November.
"This is an economic recovery strategy program for Richmond residents," said Councilwoman Jovanka Beckles, who proposed the resolution. "A minimum wage raise is pro-business, pro-jobs and pro-community."
The proposed hike would include exemptions for Richmond businesses with fewer than 10 employees and for those operating less than two years in the city that have fewer than 26 employees. Beckles said the City Council could raise the minimum wage with a majority vote, but she would rather the voters decide.
Councilman Jim Rogers noted that a raise approved by voters would be difficult to amend if it proved to have adverse effects on unemployment or business growth in the city.
"Why would we do this as a ballot initiative if it's good public policy and four of us support it?" Rogers asked.
"The simple answer is that it's important that people participate in this democracy, that they feel empowered," Beckles said.
Councilman Corky Boozé, a frequent critic of Beckles and her progressive allies, signaled his support as well, saying "it's time Richmond gets a raise."
With Boozé seemingly on board and only Rogers and Councilman Nat Bates, a favorite among local business leaders, expressing skepticism, some iteration of a minimum wage hike stands a good chance of appearing on the 2014 ballot.
The lowest proposal, $11 per hour, would be a significant increase over the current state rate of $8 per hour, and the highest in the Bay Area. San Francisco's $10.74 minimum wage is currently the region's highest; San Jose's rate is $10.15.
Berkeley and Oakland are among the other cities currently in talks about raising local minimum wage rates.
The state's minimum wage is set to bump to $9 per hour in July and to $10 per hour in January 2016.
Business leaders have already expressed skepticism.
"Further increases beyond the state's minimum wage could force businesses located in Richmond to make do with current staffing and hinder additional hiring," Katrinka Ruk, executive director of Richmond's Council of Industries, wrote in an email to the City Council this week. "Worst yet, it might create cutbacks in employment."
Ruk recommended the city commission a feasibility study to explore potential effects on economic growth and employment before putting the issue before voters. The chamber of commerce has also expressed concern that a hike in the minimum wage could depress the local economy and cost the city jobs.
The most recent data for Richmond, from August, showed the city's unemployment rate was 11.9 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, while California's November unemployment rate stood at 8.5 percent.
About 20 residents addressed the council on the issue, with most expressing support. But some questioned the wisdom of hiking the minimum wage in a working-class city surrounded by neighboring cities where labor costs could be lower.
"Richmond does not live in a vacuum," said resident Don Gosney. "Businesses will pass along the costs to the consumers, who have more options to shop than consumers in San Francisco."

"Tango Fatal" is the title of the centerpiece for the upcoming fall season event to be presented by sjDANCEco, San Jose State University's resident dance company. Just don't expect a lot of tango onstage.
Maria Basile, sjDANCEco's artistic director, couldn't resist the tale of love, jealousy and revenge that was brought to her attention by Daniel Helfgot, familiar to Bay Area audiences as a prolific director of operas and theater works. Basile leaped at the chance to choreograph "Tango Fatal" but, owing to a lack of expertise in Argentine tango, did not incorporate the actual dance in her interpretation. Instead, she created "tango-like movements that have the flavor and essence of the style."
Might this not cause confusion for fans drawn in by the title? "No, I think the audience will be pleasantly surprised," says Basile, who portrays the drama's headstrong protagonist, Antonia.
Tango Fatal is one of five world premieres that will be performed by sjDANCEco Oct.18-19 at the California Theatre, 345 S. First St., San Jose. The others are by company choreographers Heather Cooper and Hsiang-Hsiu Lin, as well as guest choreographers Kara Davis and Margaret Wingrove.
This marks the first time in its 11 seasons that the San Jose troupe has gone outside its roster for works. Wingrove's duet is called "Leonie: Love, Loss, and Light" and is based on a chapter in the life of educator and writer Leonie Gilmour. Although the output of sjDANCEco is usually contemporary, Wingrove's has a classical look. Davis' creation, "Rubber Day," about chaos, structure and the human desire for freedom, is decidedly modern and makes use of all 11 members of the company.
Cooper's premiere of "Echo of My Fall" is the story of one's man's climb after a fall and features three soloists. Lin's work, titled "Breaking," is for nine dancers and focuses on citizen revolts via street demonstrators.
"Sometimes people have the idea that modern dance is just people moving around, but we're very conceptual," Basile says of the "mixed bag of concepts" that will be making their debut. "There's meaning behind each piece."
Certainly "Tango Fatal" is fraught with meaning. The saga by San Francisco writer Lorenz Russo, about the downfall of a nightclub dancer in 1940s Buenos Aires, features a straightforward narrative and plenty of sizzling dancing. In addition, Basile says there is "divine" music composed by Carlos Franzetti, to be performed live by the San Jose Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Barbara Day Turner. Helfgot, the former resident director and director of production for Opera San José--and the man responsible for sjDANCEco's involvement with "Tango Fatal"--plays the dual role of narrator and bartender.
Altogether it is, declares Basile, "a feast for the senses."
General tickets are $40 in advance, $30 for seniors and $22 for students. Day of performance: $45, $38 and $30. Available at sjDANCEco.org.

Wood County officials mulling schedule
Dunn and Gainer want to meet less
January 1, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Wood County Commissioners Wayne Dunn and Steve Gainer say having fewer meetings and eliminating specific times for agenda items will improve efficiency....
Correction. Should have said commission instead of council.

More important than the amount of work that gets done at these meetings, is the amount of public access to the council the meetings provide to the residents that live here. I agree with Mr. Couch's observation that the public expects it, meetings encourage public involvement, and frequent meetings allow quick resolution to many issues.

Ooo, mulling, I just hate it when they mull. Seems like every time they mull, someone comes up with a hare-brained idea and the other mullers act on it. I think they should mull on their own time, about their own matters, and keep mulling out of government.
Mullers need to wear mullets, so they are easily identified as one that mulls.

Some of you are no more than bull-headed want to be know it alls; however, the truth is that you know little! IF the meeting were all that there is to being a commissioner then you would be hearing nothing from them now or perhaps Dunn & Gainer trying to get more meetings! You better be checking your facts before you continue to look ignorant! Each commissioner also has other duties and meetings he must attend! These men would not come on here under aliases and write anything and not many of you can say the sane! As far as Gainer being a tax dodger they didn't waste their time for knowing better!

Gotta wonder if anyone except the nine of you read these comments, but I'll weigh in one more time regardless. First of all, nobody need ever wonder whether or not it's me when I comment. As you can see, I'm the only person on this comment chain who has the courage to use his real name. Second, if you really think that any of the real county commission work is done at the Monday or Thursday meetings, you have not attended one. Even Blair would have to admit that there isn't any "work" done at the meetings. The real work is done when the commissioners are not in session. Finally, I am sorry that "moth man" (whoever you are) disagrees with my use of truthful statements during the election campaign. I thought seriously about it, but the fact is that if one runs for public office, either election or re-election, he/she needs to have the backbone and courage to point out the facts. It may not win votes, but I don't need the money or job bad enough to hide from t

Wow. Making nearly 40,000 a year and can't show up to work 2 days a week or about 8 hours a day. Obviously, Gainer is missing alot of meetings, he should just resign as he has been pretty worhless. Mr. Counch is right on. Thank God he was relected! Dr Dunn I can understand as he is a doctor and time is valuable, but it is also valuable for elected officials to be open, accessible. If they run the meetings like a city council meeting then if they have a small agenda the do it and leave the building, rather than what they must do now which is work on other county business. If Gainer is not paying taxes, then he should be investigated by the city and the state. There is no income tax in Florida, so I guess that would save alot of money. Not long ago it was in the paper that Gainer had his expensive motor home registered in Florida even though it is parked in his garage on ohio avenue TO EVADE PAYING Personal property taxes. And the Assessor did nothing about it.

If they change the meetings Gainer could spend more time at his full time home in Florida. It is my understanding that is where the rent goes for his Mini Storage units so he can avoid Parkersburg B&O Taxes.

I hate to burst the bubble for you "geezers" but the real commission work is not done during the Monday and Thursday meetings while the three commissioners are sitting there looking at each other. Absolutely nothing of substance is done while they are looking at the walls. The real work of commissioners, mayors, and council people is done outside of the meetings when they are reviewing budgets, working with staff, and helping constituents. Everything that is done in actual Wood County Commission meetings could be accomplished in less than four hours per month. No other county commission in the state sits around and makes people wait for hours on end like is done here in Wood County.

dunn & gainer make $37000 a year. a majority of county employees make a lot less and they are expected to be their 40 hrs. per week. does this add up.if dunn & gainer don,t want to do the job that our tax dollars are paying for.then step down and get sombody that is willing to do the job. instead of crying O I JUST WORK TO HARD give me and the citizens of wood county a break.

The Chairs
by Eugene Ionesco
The Chairs Introduction
In A Nutshell
Eugene Ionesco was a late bloomer as far as playwriting goes. He was in his forties when his first play, The Bald Soprano, was produced in 1950. This amazingly weird, amazingly awesome play was inspired by English language primers. It didn't have much success until it was discovered by some bigwigs in Paris's avant-garde theater movement. Before long, Ionesco was an international theatrical superstar. The Chairs was produced in 1952. Though it was critically acclaimed, Samuel Beckett's famous Waiting for Godot stole the spotlight that year. Still, Ionesco continued to grow in popularity and influence. Many think he reached his playwriting peak with Rhinoceros, in 1960.
In 1962 Martin Esslin wrote a little book called The Theater of the Absurd, which basically defined an entire genre of theater. Esslin placed several playwrights, including Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, Arthur Adamov, and later Harold Pinter under this label. Though some of the playwrights disliked being labeled as any one particular type of writer, you can definitely see similarities in their works. All of them seem to have been inspired by, or at least to sympathize with, the famous Albert Camus's idea of the Absurd. Camus outlined his philosophy in his essay, The Myth of Sisyphus. To make a long story short, he proposed that life is meaningless and therefore everything humans do is essentially Absurd.
Ionesco and his Absurdist buddies used similar techniques to express the idea of the Absurd. In many of their plays, characters are trapped in repetitive, meaningless situations, speak in clichés, and exist in decidedly unrealistic realities. Absurdist plays also often use clowning techniques borrowed from vaudeville and the films of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. All of these elements are present in The Chairs.
Ionesco kept writing plays way into the 1980s, but none of them ever seemed to rock quite as hard as his early stuff. He died, at age 84, in March 1994. Though his body lies in a Paris graveyard, his influence lives on. Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard, Edward Albee and many other famous playwrights all owe a debt to our buddy Eugene. His horrifically comic anti-plays helped redefine the theater. Ionesco and his Absurdist buddies changed the language of drama forever.
Why Should I Care?
The Chairs is a play for anyone who's ever wondered, "Why?" Scratch that. Make it, "Why?! WHY?! WHY?!"
Here's an example: it's 3am and a girl is desperately trying to memorize the capitals of every country in South America. Her test is first period. The pressure is on, but somewhere in the back of her mind there's a nagging voice:
Voice: Why am I doing this?
Girl: Because I need good grades.
Voice: Why?
Girl: Because I want to get into a good college.
Voice: Why?
Girl: So, I can get a good job.
Voice: Why?
Girl: I want nice things.
Voice: Why?
Girl: Because...I want to be comfortable.
Voice: Why?
Girl: I don't know, I mean, that's what people want.
Voice: Why?
Girl: Because we're made that way.
Voice: Wh--
Girl: Jeez, shut up! I'm trying to study here!
Voice: Just asking.
Girl: Why!?
Voice: Don't you start!
Has your mind ever gone down a similar path? Eugene Ionesco definitely spent some time thinking about the great big "Why?" His plays have been labeled as Theater of the Absurd, and many Absurdist plays seem to be based on the on the Existentialist idea that human lives have no meaning. We're born; we do whatever it is we do; we die. That's it. Game over. The Absurdists thought that since there was no great meaning to life, everything we do to fill our days is ultimately ridiculous or absurd.
Depending on your point of view, this philosophy might seem either totally depressing or totally liberating. Absurdists believed that if there's no larger universal meaning, then each of us gets to decide what's meaningful for ourselves. If the ghost of Eugene Ionesco happened to be passing through the bedroom of our poor confused girl, he might answer her question of "Why?" with "Why do you think?" If he happened to be standing behind you right now and you turned around and asked, "Why should I care about The Chairs?" he might say, "That's something you'll have to decide for yourself."

One of the things that makes Capella unique is our culture. And to make sure that our culture remains common, we have the Canon Card to remind us of our basic tenants and beliefs. That, in conjunction with our daily lineup, helps to ensure that each Capella property is making the same commitment day in and day out. Of course at the property level, this commitment is passed down from the General Manager to the rest of the Capella family.
This past week the General Managers had the opportunity to come together. I was lucky enough to be included in on these meetings and thought I would give you an idea of what takes place during them.
The General Managers Meeting is a time of alignment. In addition to each properties GM, members from the Corporate Offices meet together to discuss company philosophies, standards, goals and much more. It is a time to discuss the systems that are created to fulfill guests' desires.
I love hearing stories from each of the properties and seeing how there is a real give and take between everyone present. As Vice President of Sales, Mr. Kit Pappas observed, "Have a problem? I guarantee that another hotel has faced and solved that same issue. All you have to do is ask!"
Another highlight from the conference was a surprise visit from basketball legend Isiah Thomas. We were all excited to be in the presence of basketball greatness! For me, Mr. Thomas' emphasis on knowing our tenants and allowing them to guide every action was particularly poignant.
At the end of the week I asked our Chairman, Mr. Horst Schulze, what he took away from the meeting. His answer, "Based on our customer and employee satisfaction and the commitment of our leadership, it is clear that we are on the way to becoming the global leader in the hospitality industry." Clearly, it was a very successful meeting!

Hey guys, i would love Synology diskstation support. I know previously this wasnt viable, but hey, the new generation NAS' from Synology are powerfull enough! (CPU 1,6Gh cpu, DDR3 256MB memory, 60mb/s up, 100Mb/s down)
Althoug best would be .spk support (Synology installer packages), a compatible linux source would be awesome too.
I would like to redirect you to the Synolgy posts on this forum: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=486 for changes in the source that would make it more compatible with Synology NAS devices. I would be happy to test these builds.
Also, for the people who are new to this: Ofcourse it will not work out of the box, you will need a bootstrapper, Jamvm JVM, Classpath and more like FFmpeg installed. I guess there will never be a easy, 1 click install

Early morning on July 25, 19 people packed into two vans and set off for an adventure. It was the first ever 4-H "Mystery Trip," and it was a huge success.
Educational and Fun, the kids got to go see the Jeffers Petroglyphs, and tour the facility there. They saw lots of ancient carvings, and even got to try their luck at throwing a native American atlatl.
Soon after that and a quick sack lunch, everyone made their way to the Sleepy Eye water park for a short five minutes before being rained out. But in the adventuring spirit, everyone piled back into the vans and headed to an indoor pool.
New Ulm's Vogel Arena had plenty of fun for the water, and even had a rock wall to climb. After everyone was wrung out, we topped off the day at Hermann Heights, for a light snack and some playground time.
It was no mystery that everyone had fun, and it looks promising to have another mystery trip next year.

BERKELEY -- All-American Doug McDermott scored 34 points, but it was his teammate Jahenns Manigat who got under the skin of Cal star Allen Crabbe as No. 16 Creighton toppled the Bears 74-64 on Saturday night at Haas Pavilion.
Manigat did most of the defensive work against Crabbe, who missed his first 12 attempts on the way to a 6-for-26 shooting nightmare.
"I told Jahenns before the game, 'I don't think Crabbe has seen a guy who will chase as consistently as you're willing to do it,' " Creighton coach Greg McDermott said.
Crabbe, who entered the game averaging 21.9 points, missed all eight of his 3-point tries and wound up with 14 points.
"I didn't realize I shot the ball that many times. That's pretty unacceptable," Crabbe said. "I don't feel like (Manigat) was stopping me. I just missed shots."
"He's a really great player," Doug McDermott said, "but we did a good job of locking him down. Our main focus was Crabbe and (Justin) Cobbs. We got them frustrated early."
Cal (6-3) shot a season-low 34.6 percent, which included starting the game 1 for 12 and starting the second half 0 for 8. Ultimately, it was too much to overcome.
The loss was the third straight for the Bears on the heels of defeats to Wisconsin and UNLV, and guarantees they will enter Pac-12 play next month without a marquee victory. Cal returns to action Tuesday at home against UC Santa Barbara.
"We're not good enough yet," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. "I told the team I want to know what it is we can do better? What can I do to help you? I thought once we got involved, we were competing."
Doug McDermott, a 6-foot-8 junior forward, was as good as advertised. Fifteen NBA scouts and front-office personnel were credentialed for the game, including Warriors general manager Bob Myers. They saw McDermott shoot 10 for 17 and grab nine rebounds against four or five different Cal defenders.
"He doesn't make a lot of mistakes, doesn't miss a lot of shots," Montgomery said. "He's a hard matchup. He makes free throws, he makes 3s. He's a really good player."
The Bluejays (10-1) of the Missouri Valley Conference never trailed to the disappointment of a crowd that also included school scoring king Jerome Randle and former coach Lou Campanelli.
Cobbs led the Bears with 18 points and seven assists, but he did not play the final 23 seconds after hitting his head after a hard drive to the basket. Montgomery said he believes Cobbs is OK.
Tyrone Wallace came off the bench to contribute eight points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots before fouling out. Ricky Kreklow, who had missed six of Cal's first eight games with a foot injury, played 15 minutes and took a turn defending McDermott.
Montgomery said Kreklow saw another doctor this week who suggested his injury may not heal as fast as he plays, but probably wouldn't get worse.
Crabbe shouldered responsibility for Saturday's outcome.
"I took some questionable shots that hurt my team," he said. "I thought I was going to get into a rhythm at some point in the game. I just didn't."
Montgomery credited Creighton for doing a nice job on Crabbe, especially coming off screens. But he said the Bears must be more diverse.
"We've kind of got to get over the idea that he's the only guy who can score," Montgomery said. "We've got to get other people involved."

OAKLAND -- The most lurid chapter in Oakland's decade-long police reform saga ended Monday when a federal judge sided with the department's court-appointed monitor who was accused last year of making sexual advances on the city administrator.
In a one-paragraph order, U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson said that an investigation into the accusations had not "in any way diminished" his confidence in Robert Warshaw's "professionalism or his ability to perform his duties."
Details of the investigation, undertaken by retired federal Judge James Larson, remain under seal. Warshaw and City Administrator Deanna Santana both declined interview requests Monday.
Henderson's order effectively denies Oakland's wish to oust Warshaw, a former Rochester, N.Y., police chief, who is responsible for monitoring the police department's progress on a host of reforms stemming from the Riders police brutality scandal.
"I'm very happy for (Warshaw)," said Jim Chanin, an attorney who represented plaintiffs in the Riders civil case. "I feel he's done a good job, and I haven't seen anything at any time when the two of them were together that was inappropriate."
Henderson issued the order Monday at the request of Warshaw, who was still getting asked about the allegations.
According to sources, Santana had accused Warshaw of making inappropriate statements to her during several meetings beginning last spring. Sources had said that Warshaw proposed that Santana meet him at private locations and once took her hand and told her that she looked "stunning."
Although there isn't enough public information to verify the allegations, Patricia Bellasalma, California Chapter president for National Organization for Women, said that keeping Warshaw on the job could make it harder to build the trust needed to complete reforms.
"Something took place that made a distinguished woman very uncomfortable," Bellasalma said. "The judge has the power to do what he wants, but that doesn't mean he's doing the right thing to facilitate a better police department."
Last year, Warshaw found that Oakland police were backsliding on reforms instituted in 2003 to help the department better police itself and hold officers accountable. Police leaders have disputed several of his findings; their objections are under review.
The department's failure to complete the reforms -- which were supposed to be done by 2008 -- led Henderson earlier this year to appoint former Baltimore Police Commissioner Thomas Frazier to a powerful new post with the authority to spend city funds and demote commanders in the name of finally plowing through the remaining tasks.
Both former chiefs report directly to Henderson, who has ordered that their salaries come from city coffers. Warshaw's consulting firm, Police Performance Solutions, LLC, has a two-year contract worth $1.78 million.
Sexual harassment allegations against Warshaw surfaced in August when city attorneys filed a motion letting Henderson know they were reviewing "potentially damaging" allegations concerning "communications between the court monitor and city officers."
Henderson later denied the city's request to bar all communications with Warshaw and assigned Larson to look into the allegations.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
The Gluten Debate Continues
Dec. 12, 2013 -- It's not unusual for people to say they feel much better after dropping gluten from their diets, even though they don't have celiac disease, digestive experts report.
What these people describe has come to be called "non-celiac gluten sensitivity," or NCGS. It's a little-studied diagnosis that has contributed to the growing market for gluten-free products, expected to surpass $6.2 billion worldwide by 2018, according to one estimate.
NCGS is "a wildly popular topic on the Internet," says Douglas Seidner, MD. "There's a lot of discussion, a bit of confusion."
Seidner is director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Vanderbilt University. He spoke about the gluten controversy last Saturday at a meeting of the American Society for Nutrition.
In celiac disease, eating a protein in wheat, rye, and barley called gluten triggers inflammation in the small intestines.
The problem is that little is known about NCGS, from how much gluten is needed to trigger symptoms to whether gluten is even the culprit, Seidner says. Meanwhile, he says, many people are eliminating gluten from their diets because they think it will improve their health, even if they don't have celiac disease.
Gluten helps bread rise and gives bread, pasta, noodles, and other wheat products elasticity and appealing texture.
Celiac Disease vs. NCGS
About 1 in 100 people worldwide has celiac disease. The only treatment is a gluten-free diet. When someone with celiac disease eats even tiny amounts of gluten, their immune system attacks the the lining of the small intestine. This can lead to malnutrition.
No one knows how common NCGS is, Seidner says, but it could affect as many as 6 out of every 100 people. NCGS is a separate condition from celiac disease, and it's not known if people with the former will ever go on to develop the latter, he says. Despite the condition's name, "gluten may not be the only dietary compound in wheat" that leads to NCGS, Seidner says.
Both conditions have intestinal symptoms, such as bloating and pain, and symptoms outside the digestive tract, such as fatigue. A small percentage of people with irritable bowel syndrome have either celiac disease or NCGS as well, Seidner says.
Celiac disease runs in families, while NCGS doesn't appear to, he says.

PARKERSBURG - Half a decade after the death of a woman whose remains were found in the burned-out ruins of her family's unoccupied farm, the family continues to plea for information surrounding the incident.
Reported missing three days earlier, the remains of 48-year-old Judith Petty were found Feb. 10, 2008, in a burned-out building of an empty Waverly farm owned by her father, Marvin Petty.
"It has been a cry for help for five years, five painful years, waiting for the predators to be caught," said her sister Kelly Poiani. "Waiting to put the pieces of our souls back together."
Poiani said the family constantly questions why, who and how many people were involved in her sister's death and are asking the public for help in hopes someone knows something and comes forward.
"Just imagining the scenario of the hell Judy must have gone through before her life ended in such a horrible way is unbearable to live with," she added.
On Feb. 6, 2008, Judith Petty was last seen walking from her north Parkersburg home to return books to the Parkersburg/Wood County Public Library. She was last seen walking on Old St. Marys Pike.
The family has been told that a few people told investigators that they offered Petty a ride, but she said "no, thank you" and continued to walk.
"Judy was a very shy person and our family feels she would not have accepted a ride unless she knew the person or was forced against her will into a vehicle," Poiani said.
The case is under the jurisdiction of the Wood County Sheriff's Office and is considered a cold case homicide.
Poiani said her family does not want to hinder the investigation; they just want to see justice served and end their torment.
"We're not going to get her back; we just want justice; no more than any other family would want," she added. "This is one of the hardest tasks we have ever taken on in our lives; not knowing who murdered my sister as well as destroying my parents' farm.
"All of this takes a mental, physical and emotional toll on even the strongest person and we know there has to be someone out there... that knows who this person or persons are."
The Petty family, which includes the victim's parents and four sisters, believes someone is shielding the guilty party and they could harm others.
"We fear the killer could strike again," Poiani said. "We continue to be tormented by this horrendous event and fear people who could lead the police to the killer or killers have not come forward and help finally put an end to our nightmare."
Poiani said the family has been told that someone came forward and said they knew the man who had picked Petty up and dropped her off at the gate to the family farm on W.Va. 31, which was vacant at the time. The farm was then burned to the ground and Petty's remains found there.
"The farm looked like a war zone as the damage was extensive," Poiani said. "Our family believes more than one person was involved in this horrific event that took Judy's life."
Poiani pleaded for those people to come forward and call the sheriff's office to turn the criminals in to the authorities.
"We need help in solving not only Judy's case, but any of the other unsolved cases in Wood County," she said. "It takes the whole community to come together and help keep our city safe by helping out when possible and being involved.
"If we don't get the bad guys off the streets, other families will suffer like we have and I don't want that - we don't want anyone else to feel the way we have," she said.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Wood County Sheriff's Office at 304-424-1834 or email@example.com.
The family has started a Facebook page to keep Petty's story alive at Justice for Judith Lynn Petty on Facebook.com.
