TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — Truckee resident Barbara Glynn Prodaniuk has been handcrafting ceramic sculptures, wall art and housewares for more than 30 years. Her artistic inspiration is drawn from everyday life, stories and myths. "I like to make people think and laugh through my work. We all need to laugh more," said Prodaniuk.
Prodaniuk is well-known throughout the Tahoe region for her ceramic creations, and in August, she will return to the national spotlight at the American Craft Council Show in San Francisco, Aug. 3-5 at the Fort Mason Center. Returning for her third year, Prodaniuk is one of 230 artists selected to participate in the largest juried craft show west of the Rockies. "The American Craft Council Show in San Francisco displays an exciting mixture of top quality and fine craft. It is a huge honor to be included among the nation's most talented artisans," she said.
Prodaniuk's ceramics are created with wheel-thrown and slab construction techniques, firing at a variety of temperatures to achieve unique textures and surfaces. Incorporating a mixture of narrative, sculptural and functional designs, her ceramics highlight themes that resonate with times past.
The American Craft Council show includes artwork in a vast array of mediums and genres by artists from the Bay Area and beyond. Highlights at the 2012 show include artisan works in fashion, jewelry, home decor, green craft and more, plus five new categories: Bride-To-Be, Foodieware, Men's Dept., Blue Chip and Local. The popular $5 After 5 Friday night event offers $5 admission after 5 p.m. Also, Balvenie Whiskey, a handcrafted single malt whisky, will be on site celebrating craftsmanship with regular tastings and an opportunity to view its original documentary: "Handmade: A Celebration of American Craftsmanship."

STOCKTON - Police arrested a man on suspicion of murder Tuesday evening, just hours after a 76-year-old woman was found dead in Stockton, authorities said.
Homicide detectives arrested Jerome Deavila, a 39-year-old registered sex offender. Deavila is related to the victim, though it was unclear whether he is the woman's son or grandson, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
A relative of the victim discovered her body shortly before 1 p.m. in the 400 block of South Golden Gate Avenue, a residential street just south of Highway 4 and west of Highway 99, police said. Authorities did not release the woman's name Tuesday. They said they will wait for an autopsy to be completed before determining the cause of death.

The status as Ireland's top holiday destination is up for grabs – with the competition down to 25 locations on both sides of the border.
The Irish Times newspaper is running the search to find the country's top holiday location and has published a long list of 25 contenders.
These have been nominated by over 1400 members of the public with the official judging committee now set to visit all 25 locations in the coming weeks.
The list includes tourist-friendly towns and cities, remote beauty spots, inland and coastal locations.
The paper says some are suitable for two week-holidays, others for short breaks.
Four islands are on the list namely Achill, Inis Meain, Inishbofin and Valentia. Rugid West Cork is represented by the Beara Peninsula and Gougane Barra lake and Kerry's famous tourist towns of Killarney and Dingle have, not surprisingly, made longlisted.
The paper reports that the Irish beach holiday is represented by Carherdaniel and Derrynane in County Kerry; Dunmore East, Co Waterford; Gweedore, Co Donegal; Rosslare Strand, Co Wexford; and Strandhill, Co Sligo.
Cork, Dublin and Derry top the city nominations. Cushendall, Co Antrim, and the Fermanagh lakelands feature on behalf of Northern Ireland.
A shortlist will be announced on May 20th, and the overall winner on May 27th for the competition which has been running since early March when members of the public were invited to nominate the places they love to holiday.
Judge Steve McPhilemy, a tour guide and hostel owner in Derry, told the Irish Times he had been cheered by the quality of entries for some of the less-celebrated midlands destinations, such as the Glen of Aherlow in Co Tipperary.
He added: "But the old stalwart locations like Kinsale and Dingle showed they still have it too."
The Irish Times journalist Rosita Boland, author of A Secret Map of Ireland, said: "The hardest thing for me as a judge is teasing out what holiday means. It means different things for the readers who sent us pitches, usually to do with the length of time spent in a place."
Eamon Ryan, leader of the Green Party and a former tourism entrepreneur, told the paper he was impressed by the entries submitted by the public.
He said: "I liked that the entries were very personal. People communicated that attraction or love they felt for a place; they weren't corporate and didn't smack of advertising.
"Being honest, I found the judging process difficult. You can't help letting your personal experience of a place colour your assessment. And the process is going to get worse as we try to narrow it down. It's shouldn't be a beauty contest, but it is."
The long list of contenders, as printed by the Irish Times and reproduced from their website, is
Nominated by Elizabeth Hickey, who wrote: "At the end of my first Irish summer holiday in 15 years I was surprised that the days had been filled with activities. In Ireland you have to make your own fun … Achill offers the opportunity to do this no matter what the weather."
Nominated by Orla McEvoy, who wrote: "A beautiful coastal village with a personality all of its own. Spectacular views around every bend, wonderful west of Ireland atmosphere in the pub, and the Burren is one of the most stunning limestone settings on earth."
Nominated by Siobhan O'Connor, who wrote: "The physical beauty is overwhelming. The people are unique. It is a gem we should treasure. It is my heritage."
Nominated by Mervyn Boles, who wrote: "This town is steeped in history and unspoilt, with friendly, independent shops. King House and Boyle Abbey have been restored and Lough Key Adventure Centre has an excellent playground for kids, a new zip-it adventure for teenagers and for the less energetic tree-top walks and bog garden trails."
Nominated by Mairead Franklin, who wrote: "Beaches spread from Derrynane bay to the sheltered harbour, sand dunes abound. You can be as active or as lazy as you like. For 42 years I spent my holidays in Derrynane. It is not only my favourite Irish holiday destination, it is part of me."
Nominated by Brian McCarthy who wrote: "Cork is a vibrant city, alive day and night, and a haven for foodies. It is easy to explore on foot and well situated for exploring Co Cork and the beautiful south coast."
Nominated by Jim Owens, who wrote: "Cushendall, 'the Heart of the Glens', is at the foot of Glenballyeamon one of the most striking of the nine Glens of Antrim, where the scenery is equal to anywhere in Ireland."

When using typed dimensions (as in parallel lines etc.) it often happens that the same dimensions are needed over and over in a drawing, but not one after the other. It would be handy to have a recently used drop down list available on the dimension box in addition to the "last entry" memory as it is now. It would speed up work and also eliminate typos when entering long numbers.
By the way I cannot praise QCad Pro enough !

Product Description
It is a tale as old as time itself. Shadow threatens the world of Dragons, Fairies, and Knights. But this time you are in control as you draft cards from one or more factions. By choosing your forces wisely and anticipating your opponent's picks, it is within your power to affect the outcome of this Fairy Tale!
This is a non-collectible cardgame wherein you draft cards -- you draw 5 cards, pick one, then pass the remaining cards to another player while receiving a new hand of 4 cards yourself from another player. You pick another card then give those cards to another player, etc. After 4 rounds of drafting, the player with the most points wins.
Team play available. Includes a team rules variant by Richard Garfield.

Fairy Tale
Satoshi Nakamura's Fairy Tale is the perfect game for people who love CCGs but are sick of the first C. Offering much of the varied play seen in bigger card games, but with everything you need in one small box, this is surly one of the best games released in 2005.
Fairy Tale uses a draft system for selecting each player's five cards, of these five cards one is played by everyone at the same time until three of the five are out on the table. The remaining two are discarded and a new draft round begins. The game is actually easier to play than to explain – it is extremely simple once you have mastered the few symbols that are the key to the meat of the game – for the cards you play will effect the cards already played in different ways. Some will cause you to flip over cards you have played (only face up cards score points), some of them will cause everyone to flip a card, some of them will allow you to un-flip a card. There are also neat scoring combinations – so really the game becomes set collection – with each player attempting to reach the highest score by collecting various sets, which in turn makes the draft system more and more intriguing as the game progresses.
This game is brilliantly clever, fast to play and always enjoyable. I would recommend this game to anyone – as a filler game (one to be played between other, bigger, games) – it is one of the best. There aren't many fillers my group has been distracted for a night playing – but this is one of them. Recommended by Faidutti (Citadels), with variant rules by Richard Garfield (Magic the Gathering) – what more recommendation does a game need!
This is surely one of the best buys in my collection! A game that is tactically rewarding, fun, light and lightning quick. Most games of Fairy Tale we play clock around 15 to 20 minutes – so short we often go for a second or third helping. I have found the game to be great with the minimum to the maximum of players (2-5) – although it is probably at it's absolute best with the full compliment of 5.
Z-Man games has done an outstanding job, with high quality, sturdy cards, and the original artwork by Yoko Nachigami is stunning to say the least and make it a must buy for any fan of Japanese Anime.
Some people have complained that the game has little to do with actually building a 'Fairy Tale', and this is true – really the game is independent of it's theme. But it is nonetheless a brilliant game and the beautiful artwork by Nachigami by far makes up for any lack of theme in the game system itself. I wouldn't say this often – but if you like CCGs, Faidutti games, card games, anime – hell – if you like gaming at all – do yourself a favour and get this game, it is a real gem.
There was a very positive, loud buzz when Fairy Tale (Z-man Games and Yuhodo, 2004 - Satoshi Nakamura) was first published in Japan. Japanese games usually tend to fly under the radar, but Fairy Tale was so popular that eventually Z-man Games picked it up for republishing. It was lauded as a "filler", a game that could be played easily in fifteen or twenty minutes, so I was eager to get my hands on it for many reasons. When I first opened it up, however, I was rather surprised to see what appeared to be complicated cards with multiple symbols on them. Reading the rules didn't really seem to make the game any more appealing, and I put it off for a bit before playing.
After the first game, however, I was hooked immediately. The drafting mechanic, which is more prevalent in the game than I thought, worked like a charm and was in fact the most important part of the game. Combined with a variety of cards that were very well balanced, the game just flew by in an interesting and fascinating fashion. I enjoy both the basic and the advanced game, and Fairy Tale is one of the few games that I want to play over and over again. It is indeed a short game, but it is extremely enjoyable and uses a few simple mechanics to keep players entertained.
In the basic game, a deck of eighty cards is shuffled - made up of four major factions (Dragonvale - green; Fairywood - orange; Holy Empire - yellow; and Shadow - black). Cards are further split up into different types, giving out a certain number of points at the end of the game. Cards also show information on them as to how many of them are in the deck; whether or not they flip or unflip cards, and whether they are a "character", "home", or "story" card. The game takes place in four rounds - each of which consists of a draft and then playing of the cards.
For each draft, the dealer gives five cards to each player. Players examine the cards and decide which one to keep, passing the remaining four cards to the next player (direction depends on what round it is). Players then keep one of the four cards they receive and pass three to the next person, etc. - until all players have five cards.
During the playing of the cards each player will play three cards, one at a time. All players place a card face down and reveal them simultaneously. Any "unflip" effects on cards are then resolved, then any "flip" effects (forcing some cards to be turned face down). After three cards have been played, players discard the remaining two cards and begin another drafting round. After four rounds of play, players have twelve cards in front of them and total up their score, using only the face up cards. The player with the highest score is the winner!
Examples of cards include:
- Staff-Bearing Sage: Only one point, but unflips a Holy Empire card of the player.
- Werewolf: Two points, and causes everyone (including the player who placed the card) to flip over a Holy Empire card.
- Fairy Ring: Six points, but causes the player to flip over a Fairywood card - even if it must be the Fairy Ring that is played!
- Homesteader: Each homesteader is worth points equal to the number of homesteaders a player has placed. (1 Homesteader = 1 point; 2 = 4 points; 3 = 9 points, etc.
- Knight of the Round Table: Three points, and is a "friend" of the Bronze Dragon.
- Bronze Dragon: Worth points equal to three times the number of Knights of the Round Table that are placed.
- Dark Angel: Is actually worth "-1" points, but allows the player to unflip two of their cards.
- Eight other similar types of cards.
In the advanced version of the game, twenty extra cards are added to the deck. These cards include conditional cards - cards that award a certain amount of points if the player accomplishes a certain goal. For example, the Shadowking's Tale - Chapter 1 card gives a player six points if they have the most Shadow cards at the end of the game, and the Dragon's Tale - Chapter 2 card gives a player seven points if they have on Silver Dragon card and one Dragon's Lair card at the end of the game. Another card, the "Almighty" is worth negative one point but can have its name changed to any card in the deck, so as to affect the point value of other cards. Also, three cards "hunt" Shadow cards, which means if they are flipped at the same time a Shadow Card is flipped, then that Shadow card comes into play face down.
Some comments on the game…
1.) Components: The cards have a definite Japanese flair with their artwork and are actually quite serious and well drawn for fantasy. The card quality is very good, although I've played the game so many times that small bits of wear and tear are noticeable on the colored edges of the cards. Each type of card is a different colored background, and the symbols for flipping and unflipping are easy to tell apart. At first I thought that the symbols would be confusing, as each card has at least two; but it's actually very simple, and I've run into nobody who has had a problem with it. Everything fits in a small purple box with a lid that just barely holds the cards.
2.) Rules: The rules are on two sides of a long, unfolded piece of paper with full color illustrations and examples. I found the game easy to digest, although I did miss one major rule - that a card can actually cause itself to be flipped, which does change the game quite a bit. I think that the advanced game could be taught to new players, but it seems much easier to play with just the basic game, as there are only fifteen different cards instead of thirty-five. The rules also allow for partner play, which is an interesting variant (although I prefer single player) - and the name Richard Garfield is thrown in there (the creator of Magic: the Gathering) with a variant that allows players to exchange a card in play for one of their partners.
3.) Drafting: For me, this is the meat of the game, and can be incredibly interesting. Many times a player will draw five cards and want to keep several of them, but you may only keep one and must pass four to the next player. So which one to keep? Should a player keep the one that gives them the most points? This seems logical, and often happens; but what if that means giving their opponent a card, which will allow them to score big? Many times I've seen players torn with this decision, as to whether they should "bite the bullet" and keep their opponent from getting yet another Homesteader card, or keep a card that will really help them out. Players can also hope that perhaps a card they pass will come back to them eventually, but it seems as if it rarely does. In the advanced version, Drafting actually becomes even more critical, as there are some high scoring cards that may or may not work; and players must ascertain whether or not they will reach the goal or not. For example, the Knights Tale - Chapter 4 card awards nine points if you also have The Sword King (only one in the deck) in play. Should I take the card, hoping that the Sword King will eventually come to my hand? Or should I pass it on, taking cards that are more of a "sure thing"? Mind you, drafting involves making four choices, and they don't take too terribly long. But their effect on the game is rather potent and thus makes the choices interesting.
4.) Points: Every card has its use, and it's often difficult to formulate which ones to attempt to collect. A player can go for the sure points and take many of the "6" cards, although they have to sacrifice other cards to do so. However, clever play can mitigate this. A player can play a six point Dragon's Lair, flipping it face down to meet the requirements then play a single point Silver Dragon, which allows the player to unflip the Dragon's Lair. They can then play another Dragon's Lair, which makes me flip over the Silver Dragon. Gaining twelve points for three cards is a pretty good deal! At the same time, collecting sets of cards, like the Homesteaders, can also be lucrative. Five of them will garnish a player twenty-five points, which can swing the game for the player. The most powerful cards, if left unchecked, seem to be the ones that depend on others. The Bard, for example, which is worth three times the amount of Elven Warriors, seems worthless at first glance. But if a player manages to get three of those Elven Warriors on the table, each Bard is now worth nine points to the player. All of this sounds slightly complicated; but it's really rather simple, and players will quickly determine which route to go.
5.) Interaction: The Shadow cards will sometimes cause other players to flip certain of their cards face down and can be annoying (although they award very few points, so players who go out of their way to be antagonistic will most likely lose). Still, they're very few and far between - most cards a player will flip are a result of cards that they themselves have played (such as the Dragon's Lair). Where interaction comes more into play is in the drafting, when players will deliberately keep and discard cards that their opponents need. One must concentrate on their own cards and scoring, to be sure; but ignoring what your opponents are doing is quite deadly.
6.) Advanced Game: I personally enjoy the advanced game more, since the cards that have conditional points are so tempting yet are risky. It adds more tension to the game and more options. I can see how many folk would simply be pleased with the basic game, however; since there are only fifteen card types, and it moves at a slightly accelerated pace.
7.) Fun Factor: Much of the enjoyment of Fairy Tale comes not only from how quickly a game plays (most last around twenty minutes - faster once all players are experienced.), but how players are involved and absorbed the entire time. It's usually difficult to tell who is winning until scoring occurs; and while there is luck involved in what cards a player draws, losers can usually point to some mistake they made while drafting that allowed their opponent to place a nice combination of cards on the table. I'm not sure that the "story-telling" theme comes through, as the game is all about points for me, but the artwork does lend a nice background to the card laying. Also, I've always enjoyed the card drafting mechanic that was introduced with the collectible card game genre but always found it too expensive to care about (players must buy cards each time they play in a drafting tournament). Fairy Tale allows me to explore this fascinating mechanic without having to expend money.
I cannot emphasize just how enjoyable Fairy Tale is, and think that even those who are normally turned off by a fantasy theme will enjoy the game. Any game that causes me to play it three times in a row (very rare for me) is certainly one that I'm going to hang on to; and very few games use the drafting mechanic, which is one of my favorite things about the game. If this is the sort of game we'll see brought over from Japan, then I hope that many more make their way to the English speaking world. But for now, I'm quite content with this truly excellent filler game.

"Real men play board games"
I bought this game as an extra item when I made my last big order about 1 1/2 years ago. I had it sitting on my shelf the whole time and literally had to wipe the dust off of it.
The reason was because the two times I broke out the rules I kind of had a 'huh?' reaction. But, this time I took a different approach and boy oh boy! This is one of those situations where the game is really very simple and I think it is just that the draft is one of those things that you can explain in person in 20 seconds but which in written form made it seem a lot harder.
So, now that I hit myself on the forehead everytime I see this game for not getting it up and running sooner, let me say that it is a good filler game, it is quick, and for those of you who like trying to really put some brainwork into it, you can really think a lot with the draft by trying to keep track of what the other players to each side of you are drafting from the cards you keep shuffling back and forth to them.
So, for the price, pick up a copy. It is also great for newcomers to the gaming/fantasy world too.

Tucked just around the corner from Main Street Breckenridge on Jefferson Avenue is the E Studio Gallery, where Elizabeth Byers composes portraits for couples, families and high school seniors, among others.
The inside of the studio is an open space, where Byers sets up her scenes. Don't expect just an array of single-color backgrounds, however. Byers' scenes really are that - sets with artistically painted backgrounds and props that create an entire scene, in varying degrees of detail, for the subject to interact with.
One example is a winter scene, with rows of painted birch complemented by actual birch trunks reaching almost to the ceiling.
"I like to do realistic-looking pictures where I bring the outdoors inside," Byers said. While she often does take portraits outside of the studio, when she's inside she likes to bring in natural elements.
Byers can trace her photography career back 30 years, to when she started selling her services to friends for their high school senior photos. Originally from Kansas, she graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in film and theater.
She landed in Southern California, where she spent time in the TV and film industry, as well as started her first portrait studio business, which she ran for 13 years.
"My true passion has always been photography," Byers said.
Workshops led by experts continue to be her preferred way to perfect her craft, traveling around the country several times a year. Her next planned trip is to St. Louis in April.
"It's a great experience and you learn hands-on," she said, of what keeps her going.
Her favorite subject to photograph, Byers said, is people. She chose portrait photography because she loves connecting with people and telling their stories through her art.
"I have to have a subject," she said, explaining why she doesn't normally do landscapes or other nature photography. "I like to show the experience."
She likes working with high school seniors and capturing their personality through the lens. Often she shoots a couple's engagement and wedding photos, getting to know their background and what they want to emphasize about their special day. When scheduling portraits, she prefers to set up a consultation beforehand to introduce herself and her space to her future artistic subjects.
"I tell a story with my photography," she said.
Byers prides herself on the artistic quality of her work, which she says makes her stand out from other studios that plunk people down in a pose and snap a quick photo.
"I want people to know this is art for their walls, of their family," she said. "I'm an artist. Most of my stuff is classic. You'll never get tired of them. They'll be timeless portraits."
Byers pours much of her artistic efforts into setting up the scenes and backgrounds of her portraits. She has plans to set up a fishing scene, which would have children sitting on or around rocks, holding fishing props and dangling their feet into real water, which she will have on hand at the studio.
"They're going to put their feet in the water. It's the experience, it's not just the pictures," Byers explained.
Any natural element she can incorporate, the better. She's also considering live animals like ducks or rabbits.
Byers' biggest success with her scenes, she said, has been with her Santa scene, which she perfected over eight years in California and hopes to revive next winter. She prepares a scene with chair, toys and real trees, then has a fully outfitted complete-with-beard Santa Claus who the children interact with for up to 20 minutes, calming them down, overcoming shyness and even reading "The Night Before Christmas" together.
Why do all the work to set up and create these scenes?
"Because it's art," Byers replies matter-of-factly. "I just want people to know they can have an experience here."

Would You Donate Your Liver or Kidneys Via Facebook?
Social media powerhouse used to boost organ donation rates
RELATED: BPA in Plastics Linked to Obesity in Girls
A new report published in the American Journal of Transplantation found that social media may be the answer to the organ donor shortage in the United States. Doctors at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine collaborated with Facebook to test drive a social media initiative intended to motivate the public to become organ donors. They altered Facebooks timeline platform, allowing users to change their profile status to indicate "organ donor." After doing so, they were provided with a link to the official state donor registry, and a message was sent to friends informing them of the new status.
The results? Facebook's infamous FOMO powers can actually be wielded for good. Researchers found a notable spike in donor registration in all states for the weeks following Facebook's organ donor initiative. On the first day alone, there were 13,054 new online registrations, a staggering number compared to the average baseline of 616 registrations.
RELATED: Are Your Hands Deadly Weapons?
Organ donor registries are critical public health tools. Today, there are more than 118,000 people on waiting lists for livers, kidneys, and other vital organs, and thousands of these patients will die due to the shortage of organ donors. Yet, every year, 5,000 to 10,000 people whose organs could be used in transplants die without donating. It's amazing to think our rabid Facebook addiction could help spread the word about this public health crisis. But we also wonder if these follow-the-leader registrations actually result in more organ donations in the long run, or if people only sign up for the status appeal.
Tell us what you think: Are you an organ donor? Would you click to sign over your kidneys?

For whatever the reason, skiers, snowboarders and other downhillers seem to love dressing up and hitting the hill in retro gear on April Fool's Day and other holidays. It may seem funny now, but back in the day, those high-waist ski pants and one-piece suits were the trendiest things on the slopes. The culture and industry have changed a lot since then, from clothing to equipment.
The Summit Ski Exhibit in Breckenridge celebrates rarities such as vintage clothing, skis, photographs and other objects in its show at 308-B S. Main St. The new Breckenridge Heritage Alliance exhibit, open Tuesdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., takes up the entire downstairs of the building. It spotlights the changes that the Colorado ski industry has experienced since its early days, now expanded to include Breckenridge Ski Resort's 50 years in existence.
Numerous historical objects, donated and loaned by locals, help tell the story of snow sports in Summit County.
"Many wonderful friends and supporters of the Breckenridge Heritage Alliance realized the importance of keeping this history alive by sharing these articles from the past," said operations manager Cindy Hintgen.
One of the articles in the exhibit is a "Sno-Surfer," one of the earliest snowboards, manufactured in the 1960s by Minnesota's White Bear Water Ski Company.
The Payne family, from McKinney, Texas, visited the exhibit and was surprised by some of their discoveries. "I didn't realize that snowboards were around in 1985. The first time I remember hearing about it was in the 90s," recalled Michelle Payne.
In fact, in spite of the occasional rivalry between skiers and snowboarders, snowboards contributed to the rebirth of skiing, according to Gordon Brownlow, a guide at the exhibit. "Snowboarding saved the skiing industry. Around the 70s or 80s, until Burton started pushing the snowboards, I really believed that skiing was becoming a diminutive activity," he said. According to Brownlow, snowboards also helped the development of modern skiing equipment, whose shapes and materials evolved influenced by snowboard manufacturing.
Learning how ski shapes have improved and the way physics played a part in it was a highlight for Cailey Payne, who visited the exhibit with her family. The outfits were also a favorite for Cailey and her sister Olivia, who found the development of Breckenridge Ski Resort to be an interesting feature too.
Another curious piece on display is U.S. Pro Mogul team head coach Scott Rawles' banana-print denim trench coat. According to The Denver Post, Rawles bought the coat at a yard sale for 25 cents when he moved to Breckenridge in 1979. The coat inspired the nickname "Banana Man" after he made it his daily uniform, wearing it day and night around town.
Maureen Nicholls, a 47-year Summit County resident, loaned many items to the exhibit, including a National Ski Patrol Jacket and a first-aid belt for the Breckenridge Volunteer Patrol, dating to 1963-74, approximately. The original splints are still in the belt. Though she noticed dramatic changes in Breckenridge Ski Resort throughout the years with the expansion of peaks 8, 9, 7 and 10, one thing still remains the same: "even though skis were used as a way to go around in the early days, they have always been used mostly for fun. Skiing has always been a recreational activity," she said.
A response letter to a job application from Breckenridge Ski Corp. - then-owner of the ski area - is also featured in the exhibit. John Timmons was looking for a snowmaking job on the mountain in 1976. Breckenridge Ski Corp. wrote back to inform Timmons that they didn't need anyone to make snow because of the ski area's location at 10,000 feet.
Other highlights include an exhibit showcasing items donated by members of the original 10th Mountain Division, which helped shape the Rocky Mountains' early ski areas such as Vail and Aspen.
"I highly recommend this exhibition. I think that everybody who is a skier or a snowboarder should visit it," said Kent Payne on his way out of the show.

On Thursday, an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street called Strike Debt is launching a campaign, the Rolling Jubilee, with an online telethon variety show called The People's Bailout.
Based on that first sentence, I'm sure a significant percentage of you are looking for another article or composing an angry letter to the editor in your head, but hear me out. Once you cut through the politically charged terminology and the political baggage the Occupy association brings, this group is proposing what may be the most effective, efficient economic stimulus in recent history.
The way this new plan works is this: The money raised with this telethon and other activities will be spent on the secondary debt market buying loans, usually in default, at random. This costs, on average, about 5 cents per dollar of debt. The debt will then be forgiven outright.
What proposal for economic stimulus promises a 20-to-1 multiplier on investment? We're usually lucky to get 1-for-1 with bureaucratic expenses and inefficiencies on distribution. At 20-to-1, the $25.1 billion not expected to be repaid from the auto industry bailout could cancel out 59 percent of the credit card debt in the United States.
A dollar in tax cuts does not immediately free up $20 to be spent; $1 to a job creator does not give $20 to an employee in a matter of days. It's unheard of.
And that's just the cold, hard dollars and cents. Eliminating debt doesn't just convert a person's monthly payment into disposable income they can put back into the economy. It takes a weight off a person psychologically so they feel comfortable putting money into the economy. The things that go first when times are tough -- travel, consumer goods, even a night out at a local restaurant -- would also be among the first to come back without the specter of debt looming, creating jobs at a local level.
Admittedly, it won't solve the underlying problems that created the financial collapse. And, admittedly, some people will certainly make the same mistakes again and fall into the same trap. There are a multitude of reasons people end up over their head in debt and a lack of personal responsibility is certainly one of them.
Those people won't be helped, but at the very least it will inject a great deal of money into local economies. But that's only part of the story. For the rest, this is a rare intersection of finance and humanitarianism, of economic stimulus and social stimulus.
Others won't make the same mistake again. Some people got into debt not through irresponsibility but due to being laid off, getting sick or suffering some other personal tragedy. Some people made a mistake and learned from it. For those people, it's a new lease on life. A second chance.
I'm not advocating that you donate money to the Rolling Jubilee. If you do, that's your right. It's a brilliant plan and I have no reason to doubt its intentions, but I certainly understand that people might have reservations, considering their Occupy affiliation.
What I am advocating is that this happen. Whether it's from a charity effort like the Rolling Jubilee, a government program to get money flowing through the economy, the efforts of extremely wealthy philanthropists like Bill Gates or Warren Buffett or any other method, this is a plan that should be explored.
Contact wealthy individuals and charities and suggest they follow Strike Debt's plan. Contact your senators and representatives to suggest that a percentage of future stimulus packages go toward the purchase and dismissal of debt on the secondary market. Put the idea in the heads of people who can make it happen.
It's no-lose. Worst case, it helps people over their heads in debt. Best case, it helps us all.

CORPUS CHRISTI – UT Arlington used the momentum from a key doubles point to catapult past the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team, 5-2, on Sunday at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center in front of a crowd of 123. The Islanders, playing without Saturday's heroine Mia Matuszak due to injury, fell to 11-3 on the season and 4-2 in conference action with the loss, while UTA is now 10-7 overall and 6-2 in the Southland.
"We competed extremely hard today from start to finish, but give UTA credit – they rose up and won a very tough match," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "I think we learned some valuable things today that will help us at the end of the year when it matters most. I think we did a good job at a lot of the things we can control, but we still have room to improve in some key areas. Overall, though, I'm very proud of the character and grit the team showed this weekend."
The Mavs got out to a 1-0 lead by taking the doubles point with wins at No. 1 and No. 3. Verena Scott/Christine Foote jumped out to a sizable lead on LeAnne Mascall/Stefania Nicolae, then held off a late rally for an 8-4 win. At No. 1, Mirna Cicak/Doris Kuselj and Nikola Matovicova/Maria Martinez-Romero were locked in a tight battle with the Islanders leading 5-4, but the duo from UTA won four straight games for an 8-5 win. At No. 2, Chelsea Horan/Sandra Burges and Giada D'Ortona/Natalia Mayuk went to tiebreak, and the duo of Horan and Burgues prevailed in a marathon, 8-7 (15-13).
From there, the Mavericks rode the momentum to victories at No. 6, No. 2 and No. 1 singles to clinch the match. Foote defeated Mascall, 6-2, 6-0, at the sixth slot to start things, then Kuselj fell to Scott 0-6, 6-2, 6-0, to put the match on the verge of victory for UTA. Finally, Martinez-Romero iced the victory with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Cicak to put the visitors ahead for good, 4-0.
The remainder of the matches played out, and the Islanders gained a win at No. 3, as Burges knocked off Mayuk with a three-set victory (6-0, 3-6, 6-3). Horan was the next in the books, as her match went to the super-tiebreaker in the third set, and the freshman emerged with the win (4-6, 7-5, 10-7) over Matovicova. In the final match to finish, Nicolae and D'Ortona also went to super-tiebreak, with D'Ortona winning 6-7, 7-5, 10-6.
The Islanders return to action on Thursday, April 5, when they travel to league-leading Stephen F. Austin for a match that is slated for a 1 p.m. start. On Saturday, April 7, the Islanders take on Sam Houston State in Huntsville, at 2 p.m. The men's team is back on the court on Tuesday, April 3, when it heads to Texas-Pan American for a crucial conference match.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Ready to make the commitment to get in shape?
Rebel Fitness Academy, a gym that opened just last year, aims to work with clients to improve weaknesses, and therefore improve one's quality of life.
The gym and the training it offers are based on Functional Movement Systems (FMS), founder Ryan Egan explained. Egan, who owns the store with his wife, Sarah, uses this platform to identify movement patterns that need to be addressed.
And it's the gym's FMS screen that sets it apart, Egan said. The screen consists of different movements, which in turn allows trainers to determine which areas of the body to focus and work on.
"(Working out) is to enhance quality of life for day to day, instead of just being a way to burn calories or work up a sweat," Egan said. "We want to break people out of the injury cycle."
The FMS screen can prevent injuries by teaching clients how to, in essence, move properly, Egan said. "When clients move or exercise properly, they can develop certain parts of the body and therefore prevent injuries. All clients who use the gym have to have a screen prior to any lessons or class in which they may participate.
"We want to change people's perception of why they're exercising," he said.
Rebel Fitness Academy offers group classes or private lessons. For safety reasons, Egan said, clients must score a certain level on the screen to join classes.
Group classes range from the popular Kettleball Training to Medicine Ball Mayhem, Shred Fit (for skiers and snowboarders), body weight classes and more. All classes are an hour long, and have a maximum of eight people, to make sure everyone in the class gets personal attention.
Both Egans have a background in fitness. Mr. Egan is a certified kettleball-functional movement specialist (1 of 150 worldwide) and a Certified Personal Trainer with the NSCA. Mrs. Egan is a Certified Personal Trainer (through the International Sports Science Association), as well as a certified Stott Pilates specialist in mat and reformer programs. Both are FMS specialists.
The couple moved to Tahoe from northern Idaho in 2007. Originally, they were training at different locations, when the idea of opening their own gym, based around the screen, began to take shape.
In the past year, the academy has grown in popularity. Egan said he's worked with clients of all ages, from 14 to 78. He has countless success stories; many that include clients being able to perform activities pain-free or at a higher level than before.
When deciding if Rebel Fitness Academy is right for you, Egan recommends you ask yourself, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 30? Are you going to suffer an injury (performing the same activities you do now)?"
If the answer is yes, or maybe, stop by Rebel Fitness Academy for a complimentary screen.

BEAUMONT, Texas – Jessica Jammer collected her second back-to-back 13-point scoring game to lead the Islanders, but Lamar powered its way to a 63-49 victory to seal the team's fifth consecutive victory Saturday afternoon at the Montagne Center.
The Islanders (8-17, 4-8) were paced by Jammer's 13 points and five rebounds and junior Verne'qua Taylor collected eight points and five assists while tallying three steals. Senior Myeisha Myles powered the glass with a game-high eight rebounds while chipping in five points. The Islanders' bench scored 32 points, behind Jammer's 13, and Trish Amboree added seven points, while junior Damequia Montgomery chipped in six points and seven rebounds.
The Lady Cardinals (15-11, 7-5) who claimed their 200th victory at the Montagne Center, were propelled by two players in double-figure scoring. Kalis Loyd tallied a game-high 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field and Monique Whittaker recorded 19 points, including 8-of-11 from the charity stripe. Lamar turned the Islanders 23 turnovers into 20 points and outrebounded the Islanders 44-37.
Taylor put the Islanders on the board first with a layup but Loyd followed with a layup and Whittaker triggered a three from the top of the arc to give the Lady Cardinals a 5-2 early lead. A dish to Vega-Vega inside from Taylor pulled the Islanders within one. Back-to-back baskets by Whittaker extended the Lady Cardinals lead to five. Myles added a free throw before Jammer's pull up jumper cut Lamer's lead to two with 13 minutes left to play in the half.
Loyd put together a 6-0 run to give Lamar an eight-point cushion with just under nine minutes to play in the half. Jammer added a free throw before the two teams traded buckets. Amboree hit the Islanders first trey of the game to pull the Islanders within four, but the Lady Cardinals built their biggest lead of the game with a 5-0 run to take a 22-13 lead at the 4:35 mark. Taylor made both of her free throws before Lamar took an 11-point lead with back-to-back buckets.
The Islanders answered with two buckets from Jammer and a three-pointer from Taryn Gregory to end the half on a 7-0 run to cut the lead to four, 26-22.
Jammer led the Islanders with seven points and Taylor chipped in six point and three assists. Montgomery and Zoe Vega-Vega powered the boards with four apiece. The Islanders edged the Lady Cardinals on the glass 22-20 and received 22 of their 13 first-half points from the bench. Loyd paced Lamar with 12 points and Whittaker added seven. The Lady Cardinals turned 14 of the Islanders first half turnovers into 11 points.
The Lady Cardinals padded the lead to eight out of the half to take a 22-30 lead. Imani Dunn tacked up her first two points of the game before Whittaker went 4-for-4 at the charity stripe to give Lamar a 10-point cushion. Taylor added a layup but the Lady Cardinals put together a 5-0 run to take a 39-16 lead with 12:33 left to play. Montgomery added a bucket before Loyd made back-to-back layups. Jammer's layup from a dish inside from Gregory and a Montgomery free throw cut the lead the 12 with 10:22 to play.
Lamar went on a 9-0 run with 8:05 left to play to build a 21-point lead. Jammer stopped the run with a pass from Amboree. A Lady Cardinal three-pointer padded the lead to 20. The two teams traded buckets before Myles answered with a layup. Whittaker followed by capitalizing at the free throw line by going 4-for-4 to give Lamar a 61-37 lead with six minutes left.
The Islanders put together a mini 6-0 run with 3:05 to play with buckets by Montgomery and a three from Marquesha Anderson-Sparks. The two traded buckets before Amboree added back-to-back baskets to cap the Islanders scoring.
The Islanders will travel to San Antonio to take on UTSA in second round action on Wednesday, Feb. 22. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.

When wiping the ass after an exceptionally productive poop, a knuckle is accidentally raked across the large, volcanic cone-shaped pile.
I must remember to give myself a courtesy flush to keep from getting these damned poop knuckles.

Newt Gingrich has pledged to formally end his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination next week, a spokesman confirms. It's kind of like a straggling party guest creeping into your bedroom to let you know they're leaving now, even though you've been in bed for an hour.
Meanwhile, Ron Paul continues to man the iPod dock, for an audience of no one.

The "13th Sign" – Science or Science-Fiction?
I'm still getting anxious texts and Facebook messages from people asking me about the "new zodiac" and whether they're still an Aquarian, or gulp, God forbid, a Capricorn. Clearly this is a veeerrry urgent concern, so this post is for all of my little radishes out there who do not want to be any other sign than the sign they thought they were!
In short: fear not, Little Radishes! You are still Radishes! Or Aquarians, or whatever it was you were before this "new discovery." In fact, neither the Precession of the Equinox (which incidentally is the phenomena responsible for the idea of the Age of Aquarius) nor the constellation Ophiuchus are new discoveries, least of all to astrologers. Knowledge of both dates back over two thousand years ago to a time when the terms astrology and astronomy were synonymous, so the fact is, the discoveries were very likely made by someone who also practiced divination. Neither of them affects our craft because our craft is actually not (despite widespread popular belief) based on the constellations.
I can understand that this sounds absurd when it's common astrological lore to talk about the double-faced Gemini "twins," and the unforgiving sting of the Scorpio "scorpion." Never the less, it's true. Western astrology is based on the relationship of the earth to the sun and moon, or the seasons, not on the relationship of the earth to the constellations. In other words, 0 degree Aries is the beginning of the western zodiac and it always coincides with the spring equinox, NOT 0 degree Aries the constellation. It's been this way since Ptolemy in 200 AD, and although no one knows exactly why the ancient Greeks decided to abandon a sidereal zodiac (based on constellations) for the tropical (based on seasons) they did, and it fits in nicely with the Greek obsession for the ideal, the perfect. The western zodiac is simply the circle divided into 12 equal portions all balancing each other out – it's very yin and yang, and the Greeks conceived it as a perfect representation of a perfect, ordered world.
Hence a sign is simply a 30 degree division of a 360 degree circle, with no relation to a constellation. Therefore the proposal of a "13th sign" is irrelevant. Since the signs are not based on constellations, the fact that there are more than 12 constellations has no bearing on anything.
However, modern astronomers are naturally prone to error in their assumptions about astrology, and periodically they like to pose both these astronomical facts as "proof" that astrologers are ignorant of the astronomy behind their craft and hence that astrology is bunk. This time, for whatever reason, the internets caught hold of the canard and the whole thing went viral.
For more information on zodiac symbols and why astrologers continue to use them to describe signs, stay tuned to this space – I'm working on another article to explain this further!
For more about the 13th constellation and how that isn't the same thing as the 13th sign please check these articles:

When I saw Alec Baldwin's barrel-chested, tattooed, sword-swinging, Russian-accented Santa Claus in "Rise of the Guardians," I thought to myself (because I can't really think to anyone else), "Wow, that may be the greatest Santa Claus ever."
That is, except for the real Santa Claus -- and now is not the time to offend him.
"Rise of the Guardians" initially reminded me of the opening sequence of the vastly underrated holiday classic "Scrooged," during which Santa's workshop comes under attack by gun-wielding assailants, and just as the elves are breaking out the assault rifles, up pulls Lee Majors on a snowmobile to save the day.
With so many versions of Santa in the world of film and television, there's something for everyone. Slasher-movie lovers have a murderous Santa and his orthodox interpretation of the naughty list in 1984's "Silent Night, Deadly Night." Salmon lovers have Dan Aykroyd's foul, drunken, eating-stolen-fish-through-his-beard Santa in "Trading Places." Sci-fi lovers have the Santa that another planet wanted for its own in "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" (featuring a young Pia Zadora).
I'll need at least a couple more viewings of "Rise of the Guardians" to officially determine where Baldwin ranks in the pantheon of Kriss Kringles.
Cream of the crop
For now, the standard for movie Santas should rightfully be the one with an Oscar in his sleigh. Edmund Gwenn's Santa Claus -- for which he won an Oscar for best supporting actor in the 1947 original "Miracle on 34th Street" -- was pretty much what anyone would want out of a Santa Claus. He was wise, modest and didn't drunkenly eat a fish through his beard.
At No. 2 -- and this is a surprise for me -- is Tim Allen's Santa in the "The Santa Clause" movies, which I didn't care much for the first time around but, thanks to the wonder of cable television's hypnotic effect on 4-year-olds, I've watched no fewer than seven times already this year. He really is a likable Santa.
Rounding out my top five would be the Mickey Rooney playing a young, red-haired, fighting-the-power Santa in "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"; the Santa who saves the day and stops Karen from crying (when you're the father of four girls, you can't stand little girls crying) in the animated "Frosty the Snowman"; and Billy Bob Thornton's thieving Santa in "Bad Santa." I know, you'd think he would top the worst Santa list. But I thought a dark and drunken St. Nick who didn't make me want to gag because he eats fish through his beard was kind of refreshing.
The bottom feeders
Now for the real bad Santas. Topping my list is the Santa from the stop-motion animation "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." I know it's a classic and whatnot, but that cranky little egghead runs around insulting elves and making snap judgments about people -- OK, reindeer -- based solely on their appearance.
Next comes Tom Hanks in "Polar Express." "What ... ?!" you say. "That's TOM HANKS. He's America's thespian treasure!" Look, I really liked the movie, and I liked him in it, because I like Tom Hanks. But that was the problem. He was Tom Hanks. And it was kind of creepy.
Rounding out the bad Santa list are Ed Asner in "Elf," because, no matter what Asner does, I always hear him yelling at someone in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"; Paul Giamatti in "Fred Claus" because I hated "Sideways," (this is my list, and I'll use my criteria); and David Huddleston's Santa Claus from "Santa Claus: The Movie," because no movie should take Santa that seriously while having such an awful title.

Not so fast

The thinking of Phyllis Fasnacht, who said in last Sunday's Mountains to Molehills column that our country is "going down the drain" and that "so many people feel things are just rosy," is plenty misguided, suggests Sharon Mills of Hendersonville. "I do hope Ms. Fasnacht does not think I believe everything in our country is 'just rosy' as long as we have folks of obvious ill will like her," responds Ms. Mills. "I do not think our country is going down the drain. Even if I did, I would not lay the blame on the George Zimmerman trial, President Barack Obama, Al Sharpton and Sens. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. I would, instead, recommend the thoughts of (last Sunday's Mountains to Molehills contributor) Duane Johnson, who seems to have a pretty good idea of what it will take to get us going forward in our country." One more thing, in response to Ms. Fasnacht's comment that President Obama is "so unqualified and so inept." "President George W Bush," says Ms. Mills, "is estimated to have the lowest IQ of any president for the past 50 years at 125. President Obama's is reported to be 145. She can go back to the way things used to be without me. I also do not want any young people to read that our country is 'going down the drain,' as they have optimistic plans for bright futures. Our children, every single one of them, deserve that, as Mr. Johnson so beautifully states."
' WHY?': Larry Mobley of Hendersonville is wondering what the federal government is up to after reading about the ammunition the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled. "Our Department of Homeland Security has already purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, and we only used about 70 million rounds per year in the war in Iraq," he mentions. "Homeland Security has purchased 2,700 armored vehicles and now drones. Why are these needed domestically? What in the heck is going on in our government?"
'STRIP DOWN, FACING ME': Making the Internet rounds is a funny story about an elderly fellow shopping for groceries. When he was ready to pay, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me." Making a mental note so he could complain to the police about such security rubbish, he did just as she had instructed. After the shrieking and hysterical remarks finally subsided, he found out that she was referring to how he should position his debit card. Nonetheless, the old man has been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. "They need to make their instructions a little more clear for seniors," he said.
CRUISE TO CANADA: Only a few seats remain for the next Mountains to Molehills Cruise that will take folks to New England and Canada in October . This is territory you could visit a hundred times and still not see it all. We have limited space available on Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas, which will depart from Baltimore, Md., on Oct. 17 for an eight-day cruise that will take us to Halifax and St. John in Canada; Portland, Maine (ooh, more lobstah!); and Maine's Bar Harbor, a famous colony loved by the Rockefellers ... this columnist, too! Want to go? You can pick up a reservation form and itinerary either at the Times-News or by calling our travel agent at 336-794-3233.

Admission is free. Enjoy mountain heritage music and dancing every Monday through Aug. 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Visitors Information Center, 201 S.

About the Book
"Fugitive speeds along well over the posted limit."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—Portland Oregonian
"Margolin knows how to pack in the thrills."
—Tess Gerritsen
In Fugitive, New York Times bestseller Phillip Margolin brings back his most popular protagonist, attorney Amanda Jaffee, star of Wild Justice, Proof Positive, and other spellbinding thrillers. Fugitive ensnares Amanda in a dangerous web of secrets and death when she becomes professionally involved with a con man and possible murderer who's been targeted by an insane and relentless African despot. With page after page of breathtaking excitement that never lets up, Fugitive is Phillip Margolin at his very best, featuring the trademark twists and intensity that inspired the Seattle Post-Intelligencer to proclaim him "A master of heart-pounding suspense."
Amanda Jaffe, the heroine of Wild Justice and Proof Positive, is back—in this twisting tale of international intrigue and murder that leads her deep into the past . . . and into the crosshairs of a killer.
Charlie Marsh, a petty thief and con man, becomes a national hero when he rescues the warden of a state penitentiary during a prison riot, but it doesn't take long before he is wanted again, suspected of killing a United States congressman. After twelve years of living in the African nation of Batanga, at the mercy of Jean-Claude Baptiste, a sadistic, power-mad dictator, Charlie flees for home to face his murder charge, when Baptiste learns about Charlie's affair with the tyrant's favorite wife.
But it's not just the state of Oregon that's got it in for the philandering con. Criminal lawyer Amanda Jaffe has her work cut out for her. She must keep Charlie off death row, protect him from the head of Baptiste's deadly secret police, and prevent him from being caught by a shadowy killer who will stop at nothing to keep the truth about a decade-old crime buried forever.

File Juicer
Extract images from files, folders, flash cards, iPods and iPhones
File Juicer is a drag & drop can opener and data archaeologist. Its specialty is to find and extract images, video, audio or text from files which are hard to open in other ways.
It finds and extracts: JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, MP3, AIFF, AU, WMV or text from files which contain data in those formats.
Lossless extraction... File Juicer does't convert the images/sounds/videos it finds, but saves them unchanged in their original format if possible. See the manual for details.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: utility , extract , recover , images , pictures , flash

Also works to decompress / extract files from .mht web archives (aka: mhtml, MIME HTML) used by Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer or Opera.
File Juicer has saved my bacon more times than I can count. When people insist on sending you pictures embedded in inscrutable Word or PDF documents, File Juicer gets you usable images at the highest resolution possible. Well worth the money.
Tried it to extract some artwork from iTunes .itc files and it extracted some but failed on others, particularly it only extracts low resolution artwork from some files.
I keep it in the Dock and drop troublesome files on it. It usually gives me the missing "juice" in more than one format, e.g., TEXT, RTF, and HTML, each in their own clearly labeled folder. It has saved me no end of grief with ancient binary-format MS Word files.
But iExtractMP3 could extract it :).
Couldn't extract the mp3 contained inside the .flv file I used for the test.

File Juicer doesn't care what type file you drop onto it; it searches the entire file byte by byte. If it finds a JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, MP3, AVI, MOV, MPG, WMV, MP4, AU, AIFF or text file inside, it can save it to your desktop or to another folder you choose.
Achaiah - thank you - I am blind to misspellings even my applications name!
I love this app - it saved my lost holiday photos after the developer so kindly added iPod nano photo extraction so I could get the tiny versions into a JPG format I could manage. It's also very useful when dealing with weird formats, and is very reasonably priced for all the cool stuff it does. I highly recommend it!
Isn't it supposed to be File Juicer? ...instead of jucier

Week in Review
Collaborating for Continued Innovation
10.04.13 | By
The significant disease progress we've made reminds us to not only recognize and appreciate what we've already accomplished on behalf of patients, but also to look into the future and determine what more can be done.
We did just that in our "Conversations" forum this week. CEO John Castellani asked experts, On the one year anniversary of implementation of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA V), what element has shown the most promise? The responses we received highlighted PDUFA's successes to date, noting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) application review process for new medicines went from taking more than two years to decreasing by more than 60 percent. They also looked to the future and identified PDUFA's most promising elements. Read exactly what health care experts said and join the discussion by visiting the "Conversations" webpage.
As we continue to look at the future of medicine and innovation, PhRMA is pleased to announce that on October 23, it will co-host "Alzheimer's: The Puzzle, The Partners, The Path Forward," with the Alzheimer's Association and the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation. With the ultimate goal of finding treatments and preventative measures for this devastating disease, the forum will discuss how to accelerate the impact of pre-competitive collaborative efforts and explore the challenges in clinical trial recruitment unique to Alzheimer's. If you are interested in participating in this event, you can register here.

BERKELEY -- Cal coach Mike Montgomery doesn't remember the first time he met the late, legendary John Wooden.
"He claims that he held me when I was a baby," Montgomery recalled this week.
On Tuesday night, Montgomery pulled even with Wooden in the record book as Cal beat Nevada 92-84 at Haas Pavilion. The victory was the 664th of Montgomery's career, tying him with the "Wizard of Westwood" for 27th-most in NCAA Division I history.
Montgomery was quick to point out that he still is 10 national championships shy of equaling what Wooden achieved at UCLA. But he was plenty proud to be standing alongside basketball's most acclaimed coach.
"It's just a number, but it changes the context because everybody knows what he did," Montgomery said. "From that standpoint, it's pleasing that he happens to be the person who's there. It's pretty cool."
The Bears (7-3) got their coach the milestone victory, thanks to 16 points from David Kravish and Jabari Bird and 15 points and eight assists from Justin Cobbs. Nevada (4-6) was led by Deonte Burton with 26 points.
The connection between Montgomery and Wooden has a random origin, but it grew into a friendship decades later.
Wooden arrived at UCLA before the 1948-49 season when Montgomery's father, Jack, a former three-sport athlete and assistant coach at UCLA, was working toward his Ph.D. on campus.
Jack Montgomery and Wooden got to know each other, and one day Wooden took a turn holding infant Mike.
Years later, after Montgomery's Stanford program reached national prominence in the 1990s, the two spent time together at a variety of awards events and while serving on several committees. In 2004, Montgomery was given the John R. Wooden "Legends of Coaching" Lifetime Achievement Award.
The career victories total of Wooden -- who retired in 1975 but lived until 2010, just months shy of his 100th birthday -- has been exceeded by the likes of Mike Krzyzewski, Bob Knight and others.
Montgomery said basketball is only a part of what separates Wooden from the crowd.
"What makes him very special is just his approach to life, his philosophical approach, how he's helped so many people, his generosity with his time," Montgomery said. "That's why he meant so much to so many different people. How dedicated he was to his wife. How he had breakfast every morning at the pancake place and people would go sit with him. He made time for everybody."
More than a dozen books have been written about Wooden, a religious man who emphasized the process over results and established his "Pyramid of Success," adopted by leaders in sports and business.
Basketball aside, Montgomery struggled to find appropriate comparisons to Wooden, even evoking the names of Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi.
"Maybe it's a bad example," he said. "He's someone who transcends regular people. I just don't think there's anybody who has that charisma and philosophical depth that he had."
In conversations the two shared, including once on a long flight aboard a private jet, Wooden rarely talked the Xs and Os of basketball, Montgomery said.
"He would never criticize anybody. He might say, 'Well, I might have done things a little bit differently,' " Montgomery said. "But he loved to talk about people and life and about the way things should be."
And now, a lifetime after sitting on the knee of a legend, Montgomery can relish equaling one of Wooden's many achievements.

British actress Kristin Scott Thomas says she's done making movies.
The 53-year-old, who starred in "The English Patient" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" among others, has done both English and French language films for 30 years. She'd now rather focus on stage work.
Speaking to Britain's Guardian Weekend magazine, she said, "I just suddenly thought, I cannot cope with another film. I realized I've done the things I know how to do so many times in different languages, and I just suddenly thought, I can't do it any more. I'm bored by it. So I'm stopping. I'm often asked to do something because I'm going to be a sort of weight to their otherwise flimsy production. They need me for production purposes, basically. So they give me a little role in something where they know I'm going to be able to turn up, know what to do, cry in the right place. I shouldn't bite the hand that feeds, but I keep doing these things for other people, and last year I just decided life's too short. I don't want to do it any more."
Her last film, "Winter Rose," is in postproduction.
