Warrior Madness: Warren to face STVM in state semifinal Thursday
Prep boys basketball
March 20, 2013
VINCENT — Warren will be on unchartered hardwood when it plays Akron St. Vincent-St....
Ha ha Dave. No, while you were sitting home miserable, a couple thousand of us were out enjoying a rare opportunity to bond as a community. Would have been nice to win, but what the boys accomplished was already historic. So I think every person who made the "field trip" was thankful for and proud of the hard work and class displayed by OUR young representatives.

In hindsight maybe the school should have used the money for a bunch of new tablets. Pretty disappointing fieldtrip.

But there is money and they have to spend it. Thats why the school system is in the shape its in. Spend,Spend,Spend!

Any money made off ticket sales is school money not bus money to the game.Paying for buses to a game is just for part of the students.

DaveBa, since when is the money earned from tickets to a basketball game supposed to go to ALL of the students? You must have voted for BHO.

Also, begame, cheerleaders are provided with expenses separate from what I posted earlier. Again, it's covered.

Considering the money is being generated BY THE GAME, I'm not sure what the issue is with using it to PAY TO GO TO THE GAME.
begame - Have you confirmed those numbers? Have you researched how much money they made off the tickets and how much it takes to run buses for students? Or are you just spouting nonsense because you want to @#$%^ about the school?
Also, please explain to me exactly what the Athletic Boosters do. Is raising money to support the sports teams in their scope?
You guys are idiots.

The school might not be paying for the team, but they are paying for the 5 bus loads of students. Yes some of the money is coming from the ticket sales. That money is for all the students, not just the ones that wanted to go to the game.

Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but please check your facts before you spread untruths. The school is NOT paying for the team to be at the tournament. I feel that negativity creates more negativity. Please be supportive of these athletes and all that they have accomplished. Warren has many great students, some athletes, some not. We should be proud of all the students.

OHSAA pays for 18 players, coaches, etc. So who will be paying for the rest of the Warren contingent? Estimating there will be at least 15 players, 4 coaches, 3-4 school administrators, 8-12 cheerleaders. That adds up to at least 30. And do we all really think that the coaches and admistration will share a room with other coaches, etc? I see that the team went on a chartered bus-tose aren't FREE! :Bonus: money from sale of tics, will be ae up with excess pplayers, coaches, cheerleaders and paying for charteed bus. So now we get back to just who is paying for the 5 student buses? Are they district buses or chartered? Neither are free of costs! It would be great if there was this much fanfare when students acheived academic excellance! With that said, good luck to the Warriors!

The BOE don't need to ask the taxpayers for anymore money when they take a extra income and spend it on a want and not a need. The "pay to play" program turned sports into a business and the profits should go to the operating fund. Paying for a school fieldtrip is a total misuse of school money.

The OHSAA does, in fact, pay expenses for the team (and cheerleaders). Aside from the per player costs and such, the bonus money from ticket sales is likely plenty to pay for the student buses to the game.
"Expenses will be paid for a for a maximum of 18 team members/school personnel. - Travel: $2.00 per mile one way (state road map) for each day of travel to participate. - Meals: $15.00 per day per individual for each day of participation. - Lodging: Per quoted rate for 9 double rooms if travel is over 100 miles one way (per Mapquest) and provided the official party stays overnight. - Bonus: 15% of school's advance ticket sales. - Incidentals: A one-time payment of $200.00 regardless of the number of games played.

This is a said state of affairs when grown adults are arguing over kids and a basketball game. You all should be very proud of what has been accomplished by Warren. This is such a great morral booster for our entire school district. Not like anyone was doing anything for spring break anyway. If they were they can still do it. No one is stopping them. And we are not loosing an instructional day. Do you "johnson" think of anyone but your self. You should be excited that these students get this opportunity. This doesn't happen to southeast ohio. All I can say is "GO BLUE" We will be there cheering you on.

For all of those so concerned about the gas to bus the kids to Columbus to support their school and team, don't worry, the district is not fitting the bill. The school charged $5 per kid to ride up and back.

johnson, again, you keep removing all doubt. The schoolwork is not being cancelled; it is being postponed. No schoolwork will be dropped with this opportunity for the team, the school and the community. You choose not to support the team, fine; but I seriously doubt you speak for "most" of the community when it comes to caring about this basketball game. This team has accomplished something NEVER before done in the 50+ year history of the school. This team is not only representing the school, but the community (including YOU) and all of southeast Ohio as well . What have you done to bring anything positive to this area but complain and criticize? You are a sad, pathetic individual who is incapable of recognizing the positive impact this team and its accomplishment has made to this community.

I have a question about the buses transporting students to Cols. Who pays for fuel, drivers salaries and any other costs associated with this? I'm pretty sure the OHSAA isn't paying for those costs. Dunno...just asking.

Yea right getthetruth, the state of Ohio is paying the bill for everything the school is doing. Get real and in touch with the real world. With all this new found wealth I'm sure the boe will be voting on doing away with all the pay to play fees or they can just send everyone a refund check.

Seventy-one years after the attack on Pearl Harbor and thousands of miles away, a small group of area residents honored those that died in the attack by tossing a wreath into the Muskingum River.
Eleven people gathered in the parking lot where East Muskingum Park abuts the Putnam Bridge in Marietta Friday morning, and eight made their way onto the bridge for the brief ceremony.
Although he would like to see more people turn out for the occasion, AMVETS Post 1788 First Vice Commander James Rhodes repeated the promise he makes each year that the ceremony will continue as long as even one person comes.

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
Led by AMVETS Post 1788 First Vice Commander James Rhodes, left, and Commander Danny Hills, a group walks up the Putnam Bridge Friday morning to cast the wreath held by Rhodes into the Muskingum River in honor of the 71st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Most people don't even know what Pearl Harbor is. And we think it's an important part of our history as veterans and as citizens of the United States," he said.
On the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese planes launched an attack on the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor, killing 2,390 service members and 49 civilians, sinking 19 ships and drawing the nation into World War II.
Post 1788 Commander Danny Hills said the date which President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed more than seven decades ago would "live in infamy" must be maintained in the minds of Americans. He noted that many people today know little, if anything, about the Spanish-American War, and he doesn't want to see Pearl Harbor and World War II fade in the same way.
"If we don't keep up with all the mistakes that (were) made, it can happen again," he said, pointing to the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
In addition to remembering the past, Hills said the event is intended to honor those serving today.
Younger people need to know that military service and war are "no picnic," added Rhodes. "If they ever have to do it, they got to know that someone's been there before."
Rhodes said he was also sorry there were no Pearl Harbor or World War II veterans in attendance, acknowledging their numbers continue to dwindle.
"If they had to come in an ambulance, we'd wait for them," he said. "It's about them. It's not about us."

Roger Federer claims 19th Masters title with Indian Wells victory (The Guardian)
Roger Federer equalled Rafael Nadal's record of 19 ATP Masters 1000 titles as he beat the 11th seed, John Isner, 7-6 (9/7), 6-3 in the final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Federer became the first player to win four Paribas Opens, adding to the three he won between 2004 and 2006. "When it all pays off after a bit of a scare early on in the week and you get the title and the emotions are going, it's a wonderful feeling," said Federer. "I remember the days when I won three years in a row here, and I enjoyed myself over here. "It's been a long time since I have been this successful here, even though I have had some really good matches here in the past, but it's nice taking it all the way and getting victories. I was just really happy and not relieved because I was just extremely proud of my performance this week."
Indian Wells triumph a surprise - Federer (ESPN.co.uk)
Roger Federer believes he is in some of the best form of his life after scooping the BNP Paribas Open title for a record fourth time. Federer was made to work hard for his victory by surprise finalist John Isner, who has broken into the top ten for the first time as a result of his impressive showing at Indian Wells. "Honestly, I never looked one match ahead of me. I thought del Potro was going to be extremely difficult. Once I got through that one, I only thought of the Nadal match. So for me, maybe mentally because of what happened, it was a bit of an easier tournament."
Roger Federer wins Indian Wells Masters (Belfast Telegraph)
Write off Roger Federer at your peril. Four months after ending one of the longest title droughts of his career, the former world No 1 last night claimed his sixth tournament in his last eight appearances when he won the Indian Wells Masters. Federer beat John Isner, of the United States, 7-6, 6-3 to win the Californian title for a record fourth time. Twenty-four hours after sweeping aside Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals, Federer earned revenge for his stunning Davis Cup defeat by Isner in Switzerland last month.
Roger Federer concedes nothing, to opponents or to age (Los Angeles Times)
Federer, who's won a record 16 major titles, is 30, an age when many players in the punishing sport of tennis are thinking retirement. But he just keeps winning, including Sunday's Indian Wells final. When he beat John Isner in Sunday's BNP Paribas Open final, it wasn't so much that he won, but that his winning appears to foreshadow more of the same. And that it continues on a level of tennis that demands a near-perfect body more than a near-perfect forehand.
Federer Ties a Record in Masters Tournaments (New York Times)
Roger Federer has not won a Grand Slam title in more than two years, but he continued his somewhat more subtle recent assault on the record books Sunday. On a cold, windy day, Federer claimed his record-tying 19th Masters 1000 title, beating John Isner, 7-6 (7), 6-3, in the final of the BNP Paribas Open. "Well, naturally, I mean, I love winning tennis tournaments," Federer said. "It's nice taking it all the way and getting victories."
His way is victorious, a competent tennis player and impressive, a great athlete, a great man. Wanted God to do more men like you, because men like you are rare jewels to find. Congratulations for everything!!!

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- We're still three days away from Black Friday, but a lot of shoppers are planning on hitting the stores on Thursday and some are already in line.
By Thursday at midnight, the line outside Best Buy will be wrapped around the building. Dozens of deal hunters are already sleeping in tents to get the big ticket items.
"That's a good deal. $250 off Dyson's," said Joseph Wescom.
They're lined up and ready to go shopping, but they still have two and half days to wait.
"This is my seventh year doing it. The door-buster deals still are worth coming out for. It's almost like a tradition now," Wescom said.
Already dozens have pitched tents, some lining up as early as Saturday night.
"It's important to be the first 10 because that's usually the maximum quantity of the major items, but first in line is just something to brag about," said second-in-line shopper Brian Smith.
"I got here Sunday morning about 9:30 to 10 o'clock," Wescom said.
"And were you surprised not to be the first one?" asked News 12's Katie Beasley.
"Yeah, actually. This is the first year I've gotten beat out," he laughed.
There's a method to the madness, and it's not exactly roughing it.
"They have a TV and a PlayStation in their tent," Wescom pointed out. "We sit here, we read books, we watch Netflix, we all talk and just kind of hang out out here."
"I'm just trying to have fun out here, it's not so much the countdown, it's more so much experiencing it for four days," Smith said.
While some onlookers may call them crazy, inside, store managers love the lines.
"I wouldn't say crazy, I'd just say diehard and loyal Best Buy followers for the most part," said Best Buy General Manager Ellis Hanks.
In an age when online shopping is more popular than ever, stores say Black Friday is always a day they hope to cash in.
"It's all about coming into the store and giving us an opportunity to earn your business and give you great customer service," Hanks said. "You come here locally and spend your dollars, and in turn, it comes back to the community as well."
"If you compare the deals, the online deals aren't that great. Some of them are good, but compared to coming in the store, the door-busters, the movies and games ... you can't get those online for the price," Smith said.
All of the early shoppers we spoke with have full-time jobs, but they plan their vacation time around Black Friday. The biggest surprise was how many people stopped to ask them what they were waiting for. They say a lot of people don't know about the deals starting Thanksgiving night.

Shockingly fashionable pair of shorts!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Things to know about me: I'm mostly a wearer of cutoffs and prefer a 6-8 in inseam on my shorts. I have a lot of cutoff 511's that border on daisy dukes. So I was ready to hate these shorts when they arrived. I needed a nice pair of shorts that was actually hemmed at the bottom, but these looked huge and felt goofy. After putting them on though, I really legitimately dug them. They have a really good cut/look like a fashionable short, they are decently slim, and by cuffing the ends just about an inch or so, they sit above the knee. They immediately garnered compliments from other short-short wearing friends and I might even go for another pair. They did had me wishing Altamont made a 3/4 length pants as those would be great for climbing!

A bill that would have let California voters reconsider the state's 16-year-old ban on race-conscious college admissions is off the table, its author announced on Monday.
Constitutional Amendment 5 passed the state Senate in late January on a party-line vote but ran into an unexpected wave of resistance -- mostly, from Asian-Americans concerned that affirmative action policies would unfairly disadvantage Asian applicants to the intensely competitive University of California system.
A Change.org petition to stop the referendum had more than 112,000 signatures on Monday.
After an about-face by three Asian-American senators who voted for the bill in January, Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, is putting the bill on hold -- and making no promises about its revival.
"I'd like to bring it back," Hernandez said. "I believe in it. I believe we need to make sure there's equal opportunity for everyone in the state of California."
Last week, saying they had received thousands of calls and emails from constituents, Senators Leland Yee, D-San Francisco; Ted Lieu, D-Torrance; and Carol Liu, D-La Cañada/Flintridge asked Assembly Speaker John Perez to stop the bill from advancing any further.
"As lifelong advocates for the Asian-American and other communities, we would never support a policy that we believed would negatively impact our children," they wrote in a letter to Perez.
In 1996, California became the first state to outlaw affirmative action in public university admissions and state hiring, a policy that took effect in 1998. The amendment would have allowed voters to lift that ban, either this fall or in 2016.
Hernandez and others have said that misinformation about what affirmative action would mean -- such as racial quotas for new freshmen -- spread quickly, stoking parents' fears about their children's chances getting into UC, the state's public research university system.
Asian-Americans make up about 38 percent of UC undergraduates and have a high rate of freshman admission to its nine undergraduate campuses -- 73 percent in 2013, compared to 63 percent of all in-state applicants.
The use of racial quotas in admissions would be unconstitutional; recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions have held that any consideration of race in public university admissions must be narrowly justified. UC officials say they didn't use them before the affirmative action ban.
Still, some Chinese-language news outlets reported such erroneous assertions, said Karthick Ramakrishnan, a political-science professor at UC Riverside who directs the National Asian-American Survey.
"I think there's a lot of anxiety and fear, and when you have bad information it's hard to address some of those concerns," he said.
Some in the Asian-American community, which has historically supported affirmative action policies, still believe race should be considered in college admissions. Today, although some Asian groups -- including the Southeast Asian Resource and Action Center and Filipino Advocates for Justice in Union City and Oakland -- have pushed for the use of race, the scarcity of seats in UC has provoked intense opposition among others.
Republicans have tried to seize on the divide. The top GOP leaders of both chambers spoke at "Stop SCA 5" forum Sunday in Cupertino, sponsored by the San Francisco-based Chinese-American Institute for Empowerment.
Now that the Democrats have backed away from the bill, "I don't know that it's going to change the way that Asian-Americans feel about the two political parties," said Melissa Michelson, who teaches California politics and political science at Menlo College in Atherton.
But, Michelson said, the rise and fall of Constitutional Amendment 5 revealed the growing political power of the state's Asian-American voters -- and she doesn't expect state lawmakers to bring the bill back.
"I don't think they're going to," she said, "because what they found is trying to undo the ban on affirmative action makes bad things happen."

"Odyssey® Blocking Buffers is really simple and easy to use. It can really block nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes against non-specific binding. However, I only used it for Odyssey scanner system. This product can be reused several times, but you have to take care keeping it at 4ºC. This buffer is really good but the price is not so good when compared with dry milk, for instance, when the role of both is basically the same. The fact you can reuse it and sometimes some antibodies are not so good and you really need a higher quality product for blocking, this buffer is recommended."

Was he or wasn't he separated when Dwyane Wade became a baby daddy?
Instagram posts have called into question the Miami Heat player's claim Monday that he fathered a son with someone else while he and actress Gabrielle Union were on a "break" last year.
Wade and Union, who grew up in Pleasanton, got engaged Dec. 21. On Monday, Entertainment Weekly revealed that Wade has a 2-month-old son.
Before Monday's Miami Heat game, Wade tried to paint a rosy picture of his expanding family. "Like I've said, this is something that my family knows and my now fiancee worked through when we got back together, and understood that we wanted to continue our lives together and continue supporting our family and we're going to do that," Wade told the Miami Herald. "That's what I've always done."
Wade, who has 11- and 6-year-old sons with ex-wife Siovaughn Funches, went on to call his new son, Xavier Zachariah Wade, "a blessing to the bloodline, to the Wade bloodline."
We suspect Wade won't be calling social media a blessing, too.
TMZ and several other celebrity news sites began trolling Union's Instagram page Tuesday. Posts from Valentine's day, Xavier's birth date of Nov. 10 and some number crunching indicate Wade and Union may have been very much together nine months before the baby was born.
Union posted a shot of her and Wade snuggling up together on Feb. 14. She continued posting photos of Wade until April, when cryptic quotes started appearing instead:
"I reward love with loyalty and doubt with distance."
"A person's actions will tell you everything you need to know."
"I am thankful for the difficult people in my life. They have shown me exactly who I don't want to be."
"Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been, to stand up taller than you ever were."
Talk about saying something without saying it.
By mid-May, photos of Wade were back along with Union's trademark "I like this dude" captions.
Union hasn't responded directly to reports of Wade's son. But she has been busy posting Instagram photos of herself bikini clad on a beach with captions #islandliving and #livingmybestlifeonmyowndamnterms.
Once again, subtly seems to be her best play.

Rectal prolapse in children most commonly happens
before the age of 4, and usually before age 1. Boys and girls are equally
likely to develop the condition.
A child's risk for rectal prolapse may increase because of
a structural problem in the digestive system. Other conditions that increase a
child's risk for rectal prolapse include:

Virgin Australia operates flights to Byron Bay and Ballina every day, direct from Sydney.
Byron Bay/Ballina Airport Information
Ballina/Byron Bay Airport (Ballina Byron Gateway Airport) is located approx. 5 km north of Ballina's town centre and approx. 30km south of Byron Bay, and can be accessed by various transport options, including:
- Car Hire: Receive mates' rates when you choose from a great choice of hire cars from our car partners
- Taxi: Taxi transfers can be organised to and from Ballina, Byron Bay and other Northern River towns.
- Shuttle Bus: Ballina Byron Gateway Airport's shuttle bus service picks up travellers every day from Byron Bay, Lismore, Goonellabah, Wollongbar and Alstonville.
Guests travelling from Byron Bay to Byron/Ballina Airport (and vice versa) should allow at least 40 minutes for travel. Most areas of Ballina are located within 10 mins of the airport.
Things to do in Byron Bay/Ballina
New South Wales' Northern Rivers is full of natural splendours. Lush rainforests line the shores of pristine surfing beaches, while imposing headlands shelter quaint seaside villages. Australia's most easterly point, Byron Bay is a jewel in the region's crown; exuding raw creative energy, the town is a haven for artists and activists, scholars and freethinkers and adventurers and serenity seekers alike. Murals plaster downtown spaces; humpback whales splash their tales just off Main Beach; surfers stretch on the sand; buskers drum out a beat on the streets – making Byron Bay a vibrant melting pot of sub cultures and lifestyles. Nearby towns of Brunswick Heads, Lennox Head, Bangalow and Ballina all offer unique local gems also worth exploring.
Byron Bay is emblematic of utopia, fostering New Age philosophy, raw creative energy and ideals of escapism. A short drive south, the small surfing town of Lennox Head hosts one of the world's best right-hand point breaks and a unique tea tree-stained freshwater lake. A few minutes into the hinterland, the Alstonville-Dunoon plateau is home to patches of ancient rainforests like Victoria Park and Booyong Reserve, and the cascading waterfalls of Dalwood Falls and Minyon Falls. While on the fringes of the Tweed Shire, imposing former volcano, Mount Warning witnesses mainland Australia's first rays of sun each morning. Long days, almost-perfect weather, never-ending beaches, first-rate accommodation and delicious food, the Northern Rivers have something to impress even the most discerning city slicker.
Byron Bay has grown from a surfing paradise, to become a Mecca for surf apparel. Born and bred in town, Maddog is Byron's most iconic surf brand – the place to go for surfboards and surf accessories. Over the past decade major surf retailers such as Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver have set up shop in the Bay, helping the surfing industry dominate the region's retail trade. Byron Bay has also grown leaps and bounds as a destination for the fashion-forward. A number of trendy local boutiques dot Johnson and Lawson streets, and surrounding side streets. Moving just outside the downtown area, The Byron Bay Arts and Industry Park is a hotchpotch of retail outlets, workshops, studios and exhibition spaces. Covering a few acres on the Butler Street reserve, The Byron Bay Craft and Produce Market features vibrant and lively performers, dancers, singers and musicians, amid rows of food and retail stalls.
Byron Bay's urban influences, colourful individuality, and relaxed coastal vibe are particularly evident within the local dining scene. Beachfront cafes show off long reaching coastline views, while offering quick and affordable food and drinks. Eco-friendly eateries serve up organic coffee blends and healthy dishes. Fish and chips are a favourite local pastime, with many local shops, frying and grilling fish and chips with gourmet appeal. Seafood is a speciality and is in abundance, as are international cuisines – with everything from traditional Italian wood fired pizzas, spicy Thai and Mexican, tapas, Japanese and Modern Australian found along main drags like Johnson and Lawson streets. Highlighting the local food culture at its best, The Farmers' Market showcases specialities like Bangalow farm cheeses, pecan nuts from the Nimbin Valley, Dunoon macadamias, Tweed Valley beef, and fresh Brunswick River whiting and prawns.
Byron's three world-famous pubs, The Beach Hotel, The Great Northern and The Rails, all serve up great atmosphere, with performances by inspired and acclaimed musical acts. No visit to Byron Bay is complete without enjoying a cold beer at the Beach Hotel – known to locals as the Beachy or Top Pub – overlooking one of Australia's most famous beaches. Another long-standing Byron favourite is The Buddha Bar & Restaurant in the Old Piggery Building, where generous internationally-inspired fare is complemented by local brews. From midday to 2am, on almost any day of the week, Johnson Street is abuzz with revellers enjoying cocktails at boutique bars, dancing on tables at backpacker nightclubs, or singing along to Australia's biggest touring acts in backrooms of long-established gig venues.

As a multi-year project to replace natural gas lines in Marietta continues, some residents have expressed concern that their front lawns will not be restored after being dug up by the contractor laying the new lines.
But the properties will be completely restored, according to representatives from the city engineer's office and Dominion East Ohio Gas.
"The contractor, DRS Enterprises, is doing directional boring and replacing gas lines for Dominion East Ohio," explained Jarrod Schultheisz, project manager with the city engineering department.

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Workers with DRS Enterprises of Warrensville continued horizontal boring and replacement of natural gas lines along Montgomery Street in Marietta Wednesday. DRS is the contractor with Dominion East Ohio for a local gas line replacement project.
Directional boring allows a contractor to replace lines without digging trenches through entire blocks of front lawns, sidewalks and city streets. But excavation is sometimes required, and in some of Marietta's residential districts digging has occurred in the grassy area between the city sidewalk and curb.
Once the line is laid in those areas, the soil is replaced, seeded and covered with straw.
"Most often, when people see the straw spread on the ground they tend to think the contractor is finished with his work," Schultheisz said. "We hear complaints from residents that the soil under the straw is rough and contains large clods of clay. They don't understand that the contractor is not completely done and by the time the project is finished the soil will be raked smooth, re-seeded and totally restored."
Jay Nowell, whose front yard is among those covered with straw in the 700 block of Fifth Street, said the contractor had been through that area about three weeks ago.
"After they dug it up, they seeded it and put some straw down," he said. "I didn't have any problem with their work. But Dominion East said they have until spring to fix it if there is any problem, and if it's not right then, the gas company will come back and fix it."
Mark Ervin, project manager for Dominion East Ohio, echoed Nowell's comments.
"All of the final restoration of property will be done by the contractor," he said. "What they're doing now is seeding and initial germination of grass to help prevent erosion from occurring during the winter. But DRS will come back and finish up any additional work needed in those areas."
Ervin said the disturbed ground will be returned to its normal state or better.
"What we've changed we'll put back the way it was," he said.
Ervin said the goal of the gas line project is to replace steel gas lines that have been installed in city since the 1920s.
"Some lines are probably older than that, but they started keeping the records in the 1920s," he said. "The steel pipe is being replaced with high-density plastic lines that should last more than 100 years. Once finished it will be a nice system for the city of Marietta."
Dominion East Ohio began replacing old lines across the state in 2008 following approval of the project by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Ervin said.
Work on the current Marietta project is scheduled through 2014.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Pat Neshek spent the last two seasons with the A's. When he posted pedestrian numbers in 2013 and was granted free agency last winter at age 33, the odds were against him landing another major league job.
Instead, he's a first-time All-Star playing in his hometown. Funny how things work out.
Neshek and his wife lost their infant son, Gehrig, who died unexpectedly less than a day after he was born in October 2012. A loss like that obviously puts injuries, defeats and other baseball disappointments into perspective, but Neshek powered through a difficult 2013 season, when he found the opportunities to pitch in high-leverage spots few and far between.
"It was so much fun, but it got to they point where they were winning so many close games last year, I didn't really ever get to get into those games," said Neshek, who signed a minor-league contract with the Cardinals, made the big club out of spring training and hasn't looked back. He's 4-0 with a 0.70 ERA and a ridiculous 0.57 WHIP in 43 appearances for the Cardinals, and manager Mike Matheny named him to the All-Star roster.
Now he's back in Minneapolis, the town where he grew up and where he made his major league debut with the Twins in 2006. He'll get a chance to reunite with his brother, Paul, who works on the Target Field grounds crew. And he'll get a chance to see many of his teammates from the past two years in the opposing dugout, doing what he says he knew they could do.
"It doesn't surprise me at all," Neshek said of Oakland's success. "Honestly, they probably could have had a couple more with (Jesse) Chavez and Sonny Gray. I knew it last year. I wanted to be a part of that — it was so much fun to play there and see the talent, all the young guys."
Now, Neshek and his wife, Stephanee, have a four-month-old son, Hoyt, and he's resurrected his career. Former bullpen mate Sean Doolittle, for one, couldn't be happier for him.
"I was so excited for him when I heard, man," Doolittle said. "I think it's really going to be a couple of special days for him. Coming home, first All-Star Game in a place where you grew up. After the stuff that he's been through with his family, with Gehrig, and now he's got Hoyt, I'm excited for him."

PTHPasteboard is a pasteboard buffer application. It keeps track of the last 100 (changeable in preferences) items that you copied/cut and allows you to paste them at any time.
Check out the latest Screencasts
Required OS: not specified
Tags: clipboard , multi , save , productivity , organize , copy
8 Opinions
Version 4.5.5 appears to be broken in Lion 10.7.0. When copying from some sources, the contents of the clipboard aren't transferred to the main pasteboard. For instance, when copying text from Facebook while using Safari 5.1.
This is confirmed using hotkeys, so it isn't just in the display of the pasteboard.
Relaunching PTHPasteboard will refresh the contents of the main pasteboard to include the previously copied data.
It also doesn't seem possible to create custom pasteboards. They don't appear even when they're set to always be shown.
I've submitted a bug report to the developer.
no more FREE & dupe! http://osx.iusethis.com/app/pthpasteboard
PTHPasteboard is no longer free: http://pth.com/products/pthpasteboard/faq/
5. Is PTHPasteboard 4 free?
Yes. You may use PTHPasteboard 4 for as long as you like with no restrictions. Please note PTHPasteboard 4 is no longer available for download, only the PRO version is available.
6. Is PTHPasteboard 4 PRO free?
No, you may request a 30 day demo license for these features from within the "Register" tab.
I absolutely LOVE this application. It has transformed the way I work, making things easier and MUCH faster. Copy-and-paste was a great revolution in computing simplicity. PTH Pasteboard puts this simple function on steroids.
If you're not using this, you SHOULD be! :D
A good friend of mine turned me on to Pth Pasteboard and I couldn't be happier. At first, the idea of multiple pasteboard's didn't seem helpful to me, but after I started using it, I started realizing how frequently I was typing the same text over and over.
Another invaluable feature of Pth Pasteboard is Pasteboard Persistence - copying to your pasteboard becomes the same as saving! Unfortunately my 17" MBP has never been as stable as my trusty old 12" PowerBook was - every few weeks I'll get a crash, but it's amazing how frequently the data that I was so worried about loosing pops up on the pasteboard on the side of my screen!
Once you've been using Pasteboard for a while, you'll also find the text filters to be quite useful - especially for fixing up junk text that you copied from an email and need to forward on. Note, Pasteboard used to look a bit fugly, but the author recently added Anti-Aliasing - blends into the system quite well.
Give it a shot - I think you'll really enjoy this one!
It's really nice to be able to hit command-c and then go to another machine and hit command-v. You have to have the PRO version for this but it's worth it.
I've used PTHPasteboard for years.. it is way more than a utility that allows you to keep track of what you've pasted.. developers can use it to generate accessors, users can set up all kinds of text manipulation filters - like reformat email messages that Yahoo groups garbles up. It is also pretty cool to be able to copy something on one machine (through VNC for instance) and paste it on another.. of course you have to buy the Pro version to get the syncing across machines - but $20 it pretty cheap for something I use everyday.
i thought this was a little bloated/resource intensive for what it was. functional, though. the hotkeys were particularly nice.

Initial Coverage Phase
(ICP) can be thought of as the cost-sharing phase of the plan. During this phase, you and the insurance company share your prescription costs.

. The Medco Medicare Prescription Plan - Choice (PDP) plan's Initial Coverage Limit is $2930. When this limit is reached, you exit the Initial Coverage Phase and enter the Coverage Gap (or Donut Hole).
Coverage Gap
, which is also known as the Donut (Doughnut) Hole is the phase of your Medicare Part D plan where you are responsible for 100% of your medication costs. Healthcare Reform mandates that the insurance carrier pay 14% of your generic drug prescription costs in the donut hole on your behalf. The brand-name drug pharmceutical company will pay 50% of the cost of your brand-name drugs pruchased in the donut hole on your behalf. Since the brand-name drug manufacturer pays on your behalf, the portion that they pay counts toward your TrOOP (or True Out of Pocket) costs. Some Medicare Part D plans offer coverage during the Coverage Gap that is beyond the mandated discounts. Any drug not covered by the plan's Gap Coverage will still receive the discounts noted above -- even if the plan has "No Gap Coverage". This plan (Medco Medicare Prescription Plan - Choice (PDP)) offers
Coverage for Many Generics
during the Coverage Gap phase. This means that many (65% to 100%) of the generic drugs on the plans formulary (or drug list) and no brand-name drugs will be covered through the coverage gap (or donut hole).

Medicare MSA Plans combine a high deductible Medicare Advantage Plan and a trust or custodial savings account (as defined and/or approved by the IRS).

Don Hill (ne Donald Mulvihill), the legendary New York club owner and manager,died yesterday at the age of 66.
In 1993, Hill opened downtown hotspot Don Hill's, which was home to staples like the gay rock 'n' roll party Squeezebox, raunchy underwear party Rated X, and the infamous haunt of Princess Coldstare, MisShapes. Recently he joined forces with hipster party promoters Nur Khan (with Hill in the photo above) and Paul Sevigny to create yet another Don Hill's renaissance.
For everyone who dealt with him (and I met him on a few very late nights), he was one of the most decent people in the sometimes smarmy nightlife world. He'll be missed. To honor Don tonight, everyone should see an awesome band, get fucked up, and stay up way past their bedtime. It's what Don would have wanted.

Patient Testimonials
Cancer was an unexpected chapter in Ina Rooks' life.
An avid reader of nonfiction books, Ina's real life story began when a routine mammogram showed a malignant tumor.
One of Ina's top priorities at the time was taking
computer classes at a local college. After talking with
RMC Surgeon John Valente, M.D., she quickly decided to have a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery because she was anxious to resume her classes.
Despite her good intentions, the following months of chemotherapy were exhausting. Fortunately, the daily visits to the hospital, frequent exams and consultations with the RMC Cancer Care team were close to her Clay County home. And she took great comfort in the compassion and concern shown to her as a human being, not a number.
Three years have passed since Ina's surgery. Although she did finish her classes, she now assists other breast cancer patients through RMC's Steel Magnolias support group. Sharing that unexpected chapter of her life to help others ended well for Ina.
The last thing Pam Bussey worried about was breast cancer.
She'd much rather focus on her granddaughter, literally the true Joy in her life.
With no family history or symptoms of breast cancer, she was stunned when a routine mammogram and follow-up testing confirmed a malignant growth.
As an LPN at RMC's Wound Care Center, Pam knew the importance of evaluating all options to help restore your body's health. Within days, she scheduled surgery with RMC's James West, M.D., to remove her left breast. Pam, the caregiver, became Pam, the patient.
Eight months of chemotherapy later, Pam became active in Steel Magnolias, an RMC support group of breast cancer survivors, serving as its president for the next two years.
Cancer free since her 2004 surgery, Pam's experience brought her much reflection. Learning to let others provide care, getting to know other survivors and spending time with her family, including granddaughter Joy, helped her heal as she continues to help heal others.
After her cross country move, Sandy Barker was up for anything - except cancer.
Moving here from Massachusetts brought many positive changes for her and her family. Being diagnosed with breast cancer just wasn't one of them.
Sandy told her doctor about some soreness she had been experiencing in her breast. A mammogram, ultrasound and needle biopsy showed cancer. She immediately underwent a lumpectomy and endured months of chemotherapy intertwined with daily radiation treatments, medical injections and physical exams.
RMC Radiation Oncologist Dr. Jefferson Trupp oversaw much of Sandy's treatment. As part of RMC's Cancer Care Team, he's one of several doctors caring for Sandy to make sure she stays in good health so she can continue to enjoy spending time with her family.
And Sandy feels fortunate to be in good hands at RMC. With all its cancer care services, treatment, technology and expertise, RMC helps those with unexpected life changes.

Investigation opened in 3-year-old's shooting death
Published: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 9:37 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 10:40 a.m.
PORT CHARLOTTE - UPDATE...The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office is conducting a criminal investigation into the death of the 3-year-old Port Charlotte boy who died of a gunshot wound early Sunday morning.
"The investigation will be sent to the State Attorney's Office," Sheriff's Office spokesman Bob Carpenter said Monday Morning. "The State Attorney will determine if there will be charges."
Carpenter declined to say more. Calls to Sheriff Bill Cameron were not immediately returned.
Detectives said the child apparently gained access to an unsecured firearm and suffered a fatal gunshot wound.
Deputies were sent to a home in the 21300 block of Hubbard Avenue at 3:40 a.m. Sunday. EMS transported the child to Peace River Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Officials have interviewed the child's parents and no charges have been filed at this time pending the outcome of the investigation. Carpenter would not release their names, or indicate the type of firearm that was used.
Florida law states than anyone who allows a child access to a loaded firearm, which has not been secured with either a trigger lock or locked storage container, is guilty of a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum of 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
A 3-year-old boy died of a gunshot wound this morning after he got hold of an unsecured firearm.
Sheriff's deputies say the fatal accident happened in a Port Charlotte home in the 21000 block of Hubbard Avenue at about 3:40 a.m. Paramedics took the child to Peace River Regional Medical Center, where he died.
Detectives have interviewed the boy's parents. No charges have been filed but the case remains under investigation. No names have been released.

Local man, woman arrested on drug charges
April 3, 2013
PARKERSBURG — A Parkersburg man and woman were arrested on drug charges Tuesday after a search warrant was executed on March 28, police said....
thank you Remington - enjoy your comments too. What you say is true but the people peddling this poison need to be GONE, either locked up for a very long time or dead. They sell death, how can that not be murder? And if we are going to lock people up they need to be making little rocks out of big rocks all day long - not lifting weights and watching tv.

I do not feel for these losers as it is their choice to do what they do
They die an early death just means more oxygen for the rest of us

Don't know about the immediate bullet in the head - but these people selling bath salts need to be charged for attempted murder. Actually its worse, most people don't PAY to get themselves murdered.

Caught red handed with the goods??? Take them to the side of the road and put a bullet in the back of their heads. Death penalty for selling drugs and the dealers would be scarce.

Wow, looks like that little town has a lot if people doing drugs and whatnot! Why is that? Is it that they are bored, no jobs, not educated enough? These people want something the easy way... Guess what? There are no short cuts in life!

I love reading the comments from left field. If you knew anything at all, you'd contact the Attorney General's office and give them something they could actually investigate. Do something useful with your life and give them some real evidence. Good job by the Police Department.

That's a good point since we do have some very coked-up lawyers in this town.

With all your*****up comments, I'm interested to know what laws you're breaking. It's funny how task force will bust down your door for suspecting that you MIGHT be doing the same thing that a few of them do themselves and the judges will send you to prison for the same offenses that many of them commit also and you have to depend on lawyers that commit the offenses with these judges. The MOHV needs to clean up their legal officials before they start persecuting people. We could start with random drug tests given by an outside agency with no ties to these crooked lawmakers

You probably worry about protecting your children when they're out of sight...but how much are you doing to keep them safe in your own home?
In this Special Assignment, we show you never-before-seen evidence of how quickly predators zero in on the search for sex.
WARNING: This story is not suitable for children.
Name a children's toy. From video games to Neopets to Barbies, there's a chat room online for kids to talk about them.
The perfect place for predators to troll.
But they're also where the good guys fight back, hunting on their own to bring them in.
"It's always been a challenge, but now we have technology," says Aiken County Sheriff Michael Hunt. "Law enforcement needs to be proactive and keep thinking of ways to take care of our children and catch these people."
The people Sheriff Hunt is talking about are men like Sanghoon Lee, Steve Gunter, and Roman Montalvo. All three men were snared in the net Aiken County deputies put out for them online.
Officers don't want to reveal exactly how they do it and where they go, but they caught all these men the same way: in chat rooms, through talk that took a dangerous turn within minutes.
News 12 obtained the transcripts of those chats---evidence used to convict Steve Gunter. He started off with the screen name "utiman4u," saying "I am a dad--age 38 who loves young ladies."
He later stated he's got two young daughters himself, with a 17-year-old girlfriend he's been with since she was 15.
He thought he was chatting with a girl. It turned out she is a he--and he wears a badge.
The chat continued with Gunter offering to come down from Columbia. When he asked "are you a virgin?" the reply was "yep....is that okay?"
"Sure, that's great," he says...and then asks, "Would you let me deflower you? It's up to you."
He then offered to masturbate on a webcam for the girl...and sheriff's deputies caught it on tape.
Within 13 days of their first chat, Gunter was on the front steps of an Aiken County home, thinking he was about to have sex with a young girl. He was arrested there and put in jail.
He's now serving a 15 year sentence on two charges: soliciting a minor for sex and having sex with the young girl he'd been having sex with since she was 15.
Roman Montalvo of Warner Robins has a similar story, beginning his chat as "calrider" and fishing the very same way.
The officer identified himself as a 14-year-old girl from South Carolina.
Montalvo immediately asked for pictures.
Within minutes, he was asking, "Have you ever had sex yet?"
"Not yet," was the reply.
Minutes later, Montalvo was offering to get a hotel room.
Montalvo was a little suspicious, asking, "How do I know your (sic) not going to tell the cops or something?" and later asking, "Are you a cop?"
After that came a half hour of chat too graphic to reproduce here, involving talk of oral and anal sex.
One day later, Montalvo admitted to being nervous, worrying about getting caught. "I'm 26 your (sic) 14."
"Jail time if you tell," he typed.
Later he said, "Maybe you can help with the hotel....gas."
When he showed up to meet for sex, officers recognized him from the pictures he'd sent and arrested him. They say he was carrying six condoms and a bottle of KY jelly in his pants pocket.
He was just sentenced to 10 years, but the judge suspended that sentence and he's now a free man.
If you think it takes weeks or even months to make a case, consider this one Aiken County officers developed in two days.
Sanghoon Lee started chatting with an officer online on a Tuesday. By Thursday night, Lee was in jail on charges of soliciting a minor.
