After Saint Mary's hijacked SportsCenter's late highlights when Matthew Dellavedova beat BYU with a running 35-foot shot at the buzzer last week, coach Randy Bennett said the Gaels were a little lucky.
Maybe they were in the final seconds, but their comeback from a 20-4 deficit to win 70-69 in Provo, Utah, wasn't luck.
It was the fruit of seeds Bennett and his staff had been planting for several weeks.
"We weren't playing hard enough, weren't playing tough enough defensively," Bennett said. "It's hard to fix that. You may start working on it, but you don't see the results until a couple weeks later.
"We're finally starting to see results in those two areas, and we needed to. We should be able to be good in those areas."
The Gaels (15-4, 4-1) now find themselves in good position in the West Coast Conference. Saint Mary's, which lost 83-78 at No. 10 Gonzaga two weeks ago, gets both the Zags and BYU at home next month.
In the meantime, the Gaels play three of their next four at home, starting Thursday against San Diego. The road is tougher for BYU (15-5, 5-1) and Gonzaga (17-2, 4-0), who meet for the first time Thursday in Spokane, Wash.
Bennett said the BYU win provided some momentum that was evident three days later in a 60-38 win at Portland and could pay more dividends.
"There was a little more excitement, a little more confidence, a little more bounce in their step," he said. "If you handle it right, that win can have some shelf life for your team."
Part of that equation is continuing to improve. Junior guard Stephen Holt, who missed four games in December with a knee injury, has come on strong as Dellavedova's running mate, averaging 18.5 points over the past four games.
"The Holt piece helps take some pressure off other guys," Bennett said.
Bennett's recent teams have set the tone for their seasons early. Those fast starts added up to five straight 25-win seasons and four NCAA tournament bids.
"Those teams have been able to put it together quicker for whatever reason," Bennett said. "There's still room to grow on this team."
Kinney and junior Louis Garrett sat out losses at Denver and New Mexico State last week, suspended for violating team policies. It was the second suspension for Kinney, who missed the Dec. 22 game against James Madison at Las Vegas.
Coach George Nessman has declined further comment on the suspensions that came after discussion with deputy athletic director Marie Tuite. Still, it had to be a tough call for Nessman, who is 86-150 in eight seasons and trying to show new athletic director Gene Bleymaier he's the right man for the job.
Two years ago, Nessman guided SJSU to its first winning season since 1993-94, but the Spartans were 1-13 in the WAC last year and this season are 9-9 overall, 3-4 in conference play. A year from now they will enter the much tougher Mountain West Conference.
Andre Roberson averages 10.5 points and a Pac-12 best 11.5 rebounds and boasts 32 career double-doubles. Arielle provides a team-leading 13.6 points per game for the CU women, whose only losses in 17 games this season were at home against Stanford and Cal.

What do an ancient marathoner, a cosmic urban hero, and a snorkeler all have in common? They're all characters born from the minds of animation students for a contest on the theme of We Love Logistics.
UPS and the Film and Television University "Konrad Wolf" Potsdam-Babelsberg (HFF) – one of the premiere film universities in Germany – have teamed up for an animation competition based on UPS's love for logistics. The task wasn't to create a commercial – students were instead asked to produce a funny, emotional, creative, or surprising animated film that captured the essence and passion of logistics.

AVON, Colorado - Voters sent a firm election-day message about two of the three seats on the Avon Town Council. But it may take some time to determine just who the third council member is.
The Nov. 6 election in Avon had five candidates. The three with the most votes earned seats on the council. Jennie Fancher and Buz Reynolds took the top two spots. Just three votes separated Fancher and Reynolds. About 200 votes behind the top pair came Jake Wolf and Matt Gennett, who were separated by a similar margin - a mere four votes.
But the results of that third and final spot on the council are more ambiguous than the top spot, since a shift of just a few votes could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
While the vast majority of ballots have been counted, the election process requires those ballots to be certified by a "canvassing board" made up of representatives of the local Democratic and Republican parties. In addition, every election has a number of "provisional" ballots.
Provisional ballots are used if, for instance, a voter has sent a mail ballot but still shows up to vote at a polling place. People are allowed to vote, but only one of those ballots count. Provisional ballots are also used when voters don't bring identification with them to the polls. Again, people are allowed to vote, but those ballots don't count until Simonton and her staff confirm those people are, in fact, eligible to vote.
In a Wednesday e-mail, Simonton wrote that her crew hadn't yet had time to determine how many provisional ballots there are, or how many might apply to the Avon Town Council race.
After that post-election work, if a race is still as tight as the one between Gennett and Wolf appears to be, the state's recount law takes effect.
The website of Citizens for Election Integrity Minnesota, which bills itself as a "nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that advocates for verifiable, transparent, and accurate elections," has summarized election laws in all 50 states. According to that group's website, there are a number of ways and methods to re-count votes. In Colorado, a mandatory recount is triggered by a margin of victory of .5 percent or less.
In the case of a multi-candidate race, the margin for recall is determined by "the candidate who won the election with the least votes and the candidate who lost the election with the most votes," divided by the votes cast for "the candidate who won the election with the least votes."
Another e-mail from Simonton indicated she hadn't yet determined if the Gennett- Wolf race falls into that legal territory.
However, new council members won't be sworn in until Nov. 27. Since the ballot has to be certified a few days earlier, it's likely we'll have a winner in time for the swearing-in ceremony.

EAST LANSING (WILX)-- It's not just law and medical students digging themselves deep into debt to get a degree.
We keep hearing how important a college degree is if you have any hope of finding a decent job in the future, and that wouldn't be so frustrating if the price of tuition and room and board didn't go up every year.
Take Michigan State for example, the Board of Trustees raised room and board 3.9 % percent recently.
The tuition raises that never seem to ed has MSU student using what she's learned to try to do something about it.
Journalism student at MSU, Christina Stong has school loans are piling up. She found she wasn't alone when two years ago she started a documentary called The Expense of Learning.
"With tuition rising it is getting harder and harder to go to college. It was an important story and one that is relevant to a lot of people," said Strong.
With the documentary now finished she shows how the ever rising cost of tuition, including the cost of living, causes students to struggle.
"Many leave the dorms after the first year because it costs so much. Ten thousand for a small prison cell dorm room is too much," said Strong.
But to provide the students with the best services possible raising the price's has to happen.
"Students are still able to live on campus for $39 dollars a day. That includes their housing, unlimited meal plan, and this year we are rolling in laundry services," said MSU Director of Residence Education Kathy Collins.
As the cost of education goes up, Strong points out that financial help doesn't increase with it.
"For the 2012-2013 school year at MSU tuition went up 3.4 percent but not financial aid," said Strong.
Speaking out about the tuition hikes has inspired others to do the same.
"I thought that there was nothing I could do about it. Christina taught me you can do something about it," said MSU student Erin Bergin.
Strong hopes her documentary will ignite others around the state to start looking for a better solution.
"It's going to affect a lot of people. It's something to look for and a lot of people will be able to understand and connect with it. I'm hoping a lot of people will see it.," said Strong.
The board of trustees will vote on how much tuition will increase for the next school year in late June or early July. We'll let you know when it passes.
So how does MSU stack up with other public universities?
Michigan is charging almost $13,000 dollars for tuition and $10,000 for room and board for the fall and winter semesters.
Central Michigan's tuition is a little more than $11,000 dollars for both semesters. Room and board is another $ 8,500.
Ferris State will run you almost $14,000 for tuition, plus $8,700 for room and board.
All these numbers are for in-state underclassmen.
Those prices don't include books, supplies, insurance, and other items.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, May 22, 2013
FORT GORDON, Ga. (WRDW) -- It's a taste of the wild and a look into what it's like to be drunk behind the wheel.
"It was an eye-opening experience," said Latoria Brown, a soldier at Fort Gordon.
On Wednesday, she got the ride of her life.
"It just shows you, even if you have a few cocktails or beer or a glass of wine, and the difference that it makes," she said.
The drunk goggles driving test was one of dozens of safety lessons soldiers and civilians got to learn.
Other lessons included boating safety, hot weather safety and motorcycle safety.
Much of it may seem like common sense, but it's most commonly ignored.
"To come out here and to see, you know, how unsafe some of the things we do everyday," Brown said.
Those things are the main cause of injuries among soldiers on base during the summer season.
"Approximately 80 percent of our off-duty accidents occur during the 101 days of summer," said David Pickerell, the safety Manager for the base.
It's a crash course in safety that he knows will keep his soldiers safe and in uniform.
"When we can focus all our efforts into one period of the year and put on a big show type of thing, they're more inclined to pay attention during that period," Pickerell said.
Brown agrees and says a wake-up call for all soldiers is needed.
"Sometimes we just get into that monotony day-to-day routine," she said.
A normal routine, Pickerell says, will lead to carelessness, causing those summertime accidents to happen.
"As folks are more aware of the hazards that are out there, they're a lot better able to deal with them," he said.
So when those summer days come, soldiers on base will know how to play it safe.

EAGLE, Colorado - A Clear Creek County defense attorney's second run for district attorney appeared to be successful at press time.
Democrat Bruce Brown was leading in three of the four counties in Colorado's Fifth Judicial District - Eagle, Summit and Clear Creek counties - with Lake County's results not expected until early Wednesday morning.
Brown was leading Republican Scott Turner, the current assistant District Attorney.
The two candidates were battling to replace outgoing District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, who is term limited.
Brown said he was happy to be leading late Tuesday night, but was reluctant to say he'd won. He's been down this road before.
In 2004 he was leading Hurlbert in Hurlbert's first campaign for the office, but narrowly lost. He said he got calls for months from friends and acquaintenances congratulating him.
"They should have stayed up for another hour," Brown said.
Still, he said he liked his chances and was beginning to talk like a winner.
"I want to congratulate Mr. Turner on a hard fought campaign," Brown said. "I know that going through such a tough campaign will make me a better district attorney," Brown said.
Victims' rights will be his first priority, Brown said.
"The victim's voice will be heard from the beginning of the case because that will be the primary focus of the DA's office," Brown said.
Brown thanked his supporters in Eagle County.
"I want to extend my appreciation to the people of Eagle County who recognized we can do better in our court system, and that will be our number one priority," Brown said.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< Irving the historian
|Hitler's trial in 1924 (p... >
|Findings in relation to t... >>
The specific historiographical criticisms of Irving
13.9 As appears from section V above, the Defendants have selected nineteen instances where they contend that Irving has in one way or another distorted the evidence. Having considered the arguments, which I have summarised at some length, I have come to the conclusion that the criticisms advanced by the Defendants are almost invariably well-founded. For whatever reason (and I shall consider later the question of Irving's motivation), I am satisfied that in most of the instances cited by the Defendants Irving has significantly misrepresented what the evidence, objectively examined, reveals.
13.10 Whilst it is by no means a conclusive consideration, it is right that I should bear in mind that the criticisms which the Defendants make of Irving's historiography are supported by the evidence of historians of the greatest distinction. They are set out (along with many other similar criticisms that the Defendants have not pressed in the submissions made in these proceedings) in the meticulous written report of Evans, who is himself an historian of high standing. In the course of his prolonged cross-examination, Evans justified each and every one of the criticisms on which the Defendants have chosen to rely. In several instances his criticisms were supported by the Defendants' other experts, van Pelt, Browning and Longerich. I am satisfied that each of them is outstanding in his field. I take note of the fact that the expert witnesses who were summoned by Irving to give evidence on his behalf did not in their evidence dispute the validity of the points made by Evans; nor did they seek to support or justify Irving's portrayal of Hitler.
13.11 Whilst I take account of the standing of the witnesses who have spoken to the criticisms of Irving as an historian, I must arrive at my own assessment of the evidence relating to the nineteen instances relied on by the Defendants. In doing so, I have well in mind that many of the documents which I will need to analyse were chosen by Irving himself because they demonstrate, according to him, that Hitler was a friend of the Jews. Having set out the arguments at length in section V above, I am able to express my conclusions more succinctly than would otherwise have been the case. Whilst I will not attempt to address every argument that has been mounted, I will indicate in each case the reasons why I have concluded that Irving has misrepresented the evidence.

A diverticulitis diet is something your doctor might recommend as part of a treatment plan for a mild case of acute diverticulitis.
Diverticulitis occurs when small, bulging pouches (diverticula) in your digestive tract become infected and inflamed. Mild cases are usually treated with antibiotics and a diverticulitis diet, which includes clear liquids and low-fiber foods. More severe cases typically require hospitalization.
A diverticulitis diet can't treat or prevent diverticulitis. Rather, it's intended to give your digestive system a chance to rest. A diverticulitis diet is typically recommended along with antibiotics for mild or uncomplicated cases of diverticulitis.
A diverticulitis diet starts with only clear liquids for a few days. Examples of beverages allowed on a clear liquid diet include:
As you start feeling better, your doctor will recommend that you slowly add low-fiber foods. Examples of low-fiber foods include:
You should feel better within two or three days of starting the diet and antibiotics.
If you haven't started feeling better by then, call your doctor. You should also contact your doctor if:
These may indicate a complication that requires hospitalization.
The diverticulitis diet has few risks. However, continuing a clear liquid diet for more than a few days can lead to weakness and other complications, since it doesn't provide enough of the nutrients your body needs. For this reason, your doctor will want you to transition back to a normal diet as soon as you can tolerate it.

A Quote by Lucy Parsons on anarchism, state, anarchy, iww, wobblies, power, and government
"Concentrated power can be always wielded in the interest of the few and at the expense of the many. Government in its last analysis is this power reduced to a science. Governments never lead; they follow progress. When the prison, stake or scaffold can no longer silence the voice of the protesting minority, progress moves on a step, but not until then".

The Arena Junkies PvP interview with Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street

Just wanted to back you up on this, i think you are right that was my first reaction when i saw this.
I think commentators are the main factor to make a game understandable for viewers, and i think WoW is easier to understand than Starcraft 2 for new players with great commentators like Azael or Conrad.
Starcraft 2 commentators are just so good, they know the game almost as much as top players do and they are funny/dynamic so it makes it so much easier to understand what's happening.
I dno why GC answered that but i hope thats not cause he doesnt understand shit himself, would be sad.

It's "resent", not "recent".
There's tons more errors here and there. I can spot them and my English isn't even that good. Have someone proof read this.

They listen to idiots and bad players though. I happened to be playing a DK during wrath beta and I made a thread about gargoyle doing way too much damage after a buff(it was pretty much like you'd pop it and strangulate and someone would die, which is how it ended up on live too), the thread ended up like 40 pages long of people flaming me and saying it wasn't overpowered. I don't tell you this to say "i told you so" or anything, but it proves my point that Blizzard actually listens to these kinds of brain dead retards, and clearly is not taking proper feedback from top players.

Exactly. You guys can bring the right feedback if you want. If everyone just tries to avoid nerfs or get buffs it will not work.

You are right of course, however we are unfortunately in the minority here and the WoW forums have a LOT of bad players. While open letters and feedback threads have their place, they are very often drowned out by the mindless majority.
What I really like to see more of is YouTube videos from high level arena players, a video is an excellent medium to quickly address balance, ladder and general pvp scene concerns, and you have simply a name to back it up(that's all you need). Braindeadly seems to be the only one passionate enough to do this at the moment unfortunately. I really hope he continues to address the state of the game at 90, and that that would inspire other high level players to weigh in.
If you are a "name" in the PvP community then you can do a lot. I definitely think that players like Ming, Radikal, Serennia etc were very influential in balance changes back in BC and Wrath, even if indirectly through their blogging. Where has that gone??

This is like the dumbest thing I´ve ever read. DKs were overpowered because they(blizzard) listened to the community?
The problem here isnt that they listened to the "wrong" part of the community but that it takes Bizzard literally over a year to change a decision or to balance shit.
In every competetive game, lets take MOBAS for example, lets see how companys that care about esport handle this situation of sth being "broken"
-> 1 Champ/Hero whatever gets released
-> this champ/hero is obviously too strong based on data/player feedback etc
-->DONE (maybe some tweeks if it was too much or not enough of a nerf)
w/e my point is you try here to blame the community, not wanting their class to get nerfed etc, while its blizzard who dont give a shit about esport/arena/pvp and literally take over a year to "fix" a class. Or in fact lets take it real, they don't actually do anything and give us this "fuck that mentality", gear will fix it", next season will fix it, next addon will fix it"
This is how Blizzard thinks about PvP/Arena/E-sport in WOW:
Because of people like GC and this mentality, WoW will never have the chance to become a "big" esport title. Its fucking PvE everywhere.

I belive Most of the people complaining is probably just upset because they where expecting a more long interview and maybe some class specific questions, which is understandable considering of the short time you had.
On the matter of the better pvp feedback the main problem is us, we are not a very united community and most of the feedback here is heavily biased and sometimes very rude.
Posted 19 September 2012 - 10:01 PM
one of the things i wanted to know is what happened to the concept of the game being in a wounded state? at this moment you are either dead or topped off. I liked the concept of being wounded, but now burst healing is so crazy to counteract the burst damage (frost bomb lol???) game just feels gimmicky now. Whoever can burst the most and instant/endlessly cc the most.

The Do's And Don'ts Of Interning
In a phone interview, your voice will make your big first impression, so get a head start on prepping your pipes a week pre-interview by tuning into talk radio. Whether its Cosmo on Sirius XM, NPR, or the Red Sox game, notice the words and tone the hosts use to create a mental picture for listeners.
Even though you're probably doing the interview in your living room, ditch the rumpled Ramones tee shirt and messy hair and dress as though you were meeting the manager in person. Bailo's research found that people's voices change when wearing business clothing as opposed to casual stuff—your tone, inflection, and word choice automatically become more professional if you look spiffy.

Heinz Shares Flying Off the Shelf on Berkshire Deal
We knew it was a mistake throwing out all those ketchup packets over the years. They were worth something after all.
Heinz shares are flying off the proverbial shelf after news that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital are buying the iconic condiment maker for $72.50 a share, or $28 billion, which includes debt.
Shares are up 20% premarket at $72.68, which incidentally is the deal's premium.
Interestingly, the deal's a 19% premium to the company's all-time high of $60.91, which it hit on Monday. The stock's been rising this year, along with everything else, but before you start wondering whether old Uncle Warren's buying at the top, maybe losing his edge, this is a stock that in the summer of 2012 finally got back to its 1998 high around $54.
That's 14 long, cold years lost in the condiment wars. This isn't exactly a growth industry, but that's the way Buffett likes it.
At $28 billion, the buyout would make it among the largest — if not the largest — deal in the food industry. The only one approaching that level is the famed $25 billion LBO of RJR Nabisco, which, adjusted for inflation, would eclipse the Heinz deal, but RJR, of course, included tobacco.
In recent memory, there was Kraft's $19 billion Cadbury deal in 2010, but that's about two-thirds of what Warren Buffett and 3G are paying for Heinz.
3G Capital isn't exactly a household name like Heinz, or Warren Buffett for that matter, but the New York-based PE firm has a history with food and beverages: they took Burger King private in 2010 and orchestrated the 2008 Anheuser-Busch/InBev deal as well.
Buffett and the new owners pledged to keep the company's headquarters in Pittsburgh, and to maintain its philanthropic endeavors.
The companies will be hosting a conference call at 11 a.m. today.

PARKERSBURG - After nearly five decades with The Parkersburg News and Sentinel, longtime retail advertising sales representative Daryl Cosner retired Friday.
Cosner joined the advertising staff of the newspaper on Nov. 8, 1965, and worked for 47 years and three months, serving area businesses, large and small.
Born in Washington, D.C., he moved to Parkersburg at age 4 and graduated from Parkersburg High School about six months before being hired by the newspaper.

Jim Spanner, publisher of The News and Sentinel, talked about Cosner's contributions during a retirement party held in Cosner's honor Friday at the newspaper office.
"Daryl will be missed," Spanner said. "He has been a great representative of The Parkersburg News and Sentinel for 47 years. He has been a face of the paper out in the community. The way he treats people and handles customers should be an example for everyone. He will be missed," he said.
"It's been wonderful being a part of this organization for all of these years," Cosner said Friday.
Cosner said he has enjoyed his years working with the newspaper and has seen a lot of changes, especially in the technologies used by newspaper advertising departments and the community in general. When he began, everything was done by hand using ink, lead pieces and other items.
"We used table saws to cut the plates," he said.
Cosner was hired as a proof runner for the newspaper. That meant it was his job to take the larger ads that had been hand-created at the newspaper and physically carry them to the businesses buying the ads for approval and corrections, and then bring those back to the office to be printed in the newspaper.
That is a big contrast from the computer and digital technology of today, which allows much of the work to be done from a person's desk, electronically sent and returned.
"I still find it so hard to believe what we can create on these computer screens," he said.
Four years after joining the newspaper, Cosner moved into advertising sales and remained there for more than 40 years, until his retirement.
Cosner said a humorous story involved his first experience learning about that new piece of technology, the fax machine. At some point in the early 1970s, a customer called with an ad that needed to get in right away.
"I said, 'OK, how can you get it here?' and he asked, 'Do you have a facsimile machine?' I said, 'No, what's a facsimile machine?' and he said, 'It's a device that we send printed material through the phone lines.'"
Cosner said his mouth dropped open because he couldn't imagine how something like that would work. However, within six months the newspaper was using fax machines as part of its daily operations.
While the technology and the ways in which the work was done changed dramatically during his career, Cosner said the heart of his work remained the same, serving his customers and their needs.
He doesn't have any immediate plans for retirement. Cosner said he will just relax for a few weeks and then take a look at what he wants to do, possibly including some travel and volunteering his time with activities and programs he enjoys.
News and Sentinel advertising director Matt Tranquill said Cosner will be missed by the newspaper and the community.
"The Parkersburg News and Sentinel is losing a very loyal and trusted employee. He's always been the first person to help an employee or customer. He truly will be missed around the office," he said.

Love these papers! They are gorgeous, the antique/ledger look is very detailed and realistic looking in person, the paper is quite thick and very, very good quality. I am really enjoying this pad. For all the many very thick, high quality papers you get, (48!) this is a real bargain, and an awesome find.
I will use every last piece in this pad and can't wait to get going on them again! ;-)
Prima creates some wonderful papers and this is no different. The design is wonderful and the paper is very high quality. Love it and can't wait to use it on one of my projects!
I accidentally purchased two of these and very glad I did. Have used these papers a lot for my Italy and France SB's. Lots of great uses for them.
This is a very nice heavy weight cardstock that I am using to make tags and for Julie Nutting doll stamps.

PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 VOLUME 10 NUMBER 3 NEW MOON OF THE CAMAS JUNE 1, X980 Good News And Bad News: The Ash Is Gone But Glacial Lake Missoula is on the Horizon The biggest (and by now the oldest) news in these parts in the past several days has been the violent eruption on May 18 of Mount St. Helen's, a not-as-extinct-as-they-thought volcano in southwestern Washington. The phenomenon of nature, which has killed 30 to possibly 100 people so far, and irreversibly altered a good portion Washington state's topography, blew out so much eastward drifting ash that traces of it had been noted on the east coast by week's end. DISTRICT MEETINGS: Constitution Postponed, Northern Tier Set Up The informational district meetings concerning the controversial newest draft of the Tribal Constitution, scheduled for last month, were cancelled as the Flathead Reservation patiently sat out an unexpected invasion of volcanic ash (see above story). The meetings will be rescheduled at a later time. Another round of special meetings has been set up for this week, though, when the Northern Tier Pipeline Company (NTPC) comes to town to explain the whys and wherefores of their proposed pipeline route across the reservation. Tribal engineers and geologists will be on hand to help NTPC experts answer technical questions. (See related story on page 2). The schedule is: ARLEE: Tuesday, June 3rd at the Salish Seniors Center ST. IGNA TIUS: Wednesday, June 4th at the Community Center POLSON: Thursday, June 5th at the Turtle Lake Community Center • All Meetings Will Begin At 7 p.m. • Here in Montana, the state was effectively shut down for most of three-and-a-half days when an air pollution crisis was declared and all citizens, except those employed by or needing the services of essential businesses (police, hospitals, news media, food and drug stores and restaurants) were all but commanded to stay indoors for health and safety reasons. Major state highways were closed and citations issued to non-essential businesses that opened despite the shutdown order. On the Flathead Reservation, an eerie silence and brooding haze fell over the valley as the Mission Mountains were obscured for a week ~ first by the gray-brown ash, then by five day's steady rainfall. Although the prayed-for rain was at first welcomed by valley residents because it served to settle the ash (the rain was indeed caused by the fallout, some say, as the volcanic particles naturally seeded the clouds), insult was added to injury when the wet stuff didn't quit falling, causing three more days of cabin fever. Before the rain dribbled to a seasonal sprinkle, it had washed out uncounted county roads and bridges statewide, and was last seen receeding gently from various homeowners' living rooms into the creeks where it belonged.

Access to oral health care in southeastern Ohio is falling short, especially when it comes to children, according to a recently-released state study.
At the Southeastern Ohio Dental Clinic in Marietta, many patients coming in are already experiencing painful problems in their baby teeth, said Karita Miller, the office manager at the clinic.
"We have had children in elementary school that have needed to have all of their baby teeth pulled," she said.

Dental hygienist Adessa Jackson performs an X-ray on 15-year-old Belpre resident Leha Bass at the Southeastern Ohio Dental Clinic Thursday. The clinic, one of the only dental facilities in the area that accepts Medicaid and allows payment based on income, recently lost a grant that covered a large portion of their funding.
The Marietta Times
A recent study by the Ohio Department of Health of third grade students found that 27 percent of Appalachian students in the state had untreated cavities compared to 17 percent of non-Appalachian Ohio third graders.
The challenges for rural Ohioans seeking dental care are many. For starters, Medicare does not cover dental services and few dentists accept Medicaid or offer income-based sliding payment scales.
According to the Ohio Department of Health's most recent survey, nine dentists in Washington County accepted Medicaid in 2009. That is one dentist per 1,374 Medicaid patients.

-Statewide: 18 percent
In Morgan County, the number of dentists accepting Medicaid dropped to two, in Noble County it was one and in Monroe County there were none at the time of the survey.
The Southeastern Ohio Dental Clinic, which has been operated by the Washington County Health Department since 2006, does accept Medicaid and is the only dentist office in the area that allows income eligible patients to pay only a percentage of their dentistry fees, said Miller.
Belpre resident Leha Bass, 15, started coming to the clinic after her former dentist stopped accepting her insurance company, said her mother, Laura Postle-Morrison.
"We couldn't find another dentist that accepted her insurance until we found here, and we started getting her back into her check-ups," she said.
Dental care has always been a concern for Postle-Morrison, who wants to ensure that her daughter's teeth stay healthy.
Bass was in the office last week to follow up on a recent filling performed there. However, when she had to have a root canal, Bass was forced to go all the way to Columbus to find a doctor who would perform the surgery and accept her insurance.
"There are dentists that could have done it here, but they won't take her insurance," said Postle-Morrison.
The Marietta clinic is one of the last local options for many people. However, the health department found out earlier this month that the $59,000 grant that helps fund the site was not renewed for the 2013 year.
"We don't know why the grant wasn't approved. What we've heard is that the funding got cut on a federal level," said Ken Robinson, interim administrator of the health department.
About 30 patients are scheduled at the clinic every day,
"We get a lot of no-shows though," said Miller.
The reason patients skip appointments ranges from lack of transportation to lack of education about oral care, both problems that may occur more in Appalachia.
Many patients, including parents, neglect preventative care, such as twice yearly cleanings and check-ups, said Miller. Therefore, many of the clinic's patients are experiencing significant pain by the time they seek treatment.
"It is very rare for (the dentist) to do a cleaning and the patient not need anything done," said Miller.
The clinic covers procedures such as cleanings, fillings, and simple extractions, but they do not provide services that require general anesthesia.
Patients that need more serious work done are referred to income-based oral surgeons.
Often, young patients with a multitude of problems are referred to a pediatric dentist in Columbus, said Miller.
However, all too often Miller runs into the frustrating problem of resistant parents.
"Parents don't get it sometimes. They think it's just their baby teeth, so why does it matter," said Miller.
But baby teeth are the guides for a child's adult teeth, and unhealthy baby teeth can quickly lead to complications, she added.
To try to overcome the many obstacles facing young Appalachians, a number of programs aim to provide oral care and education in the schools, said Eric Tolkin, chief marking officer for Smile Programs...The Mobile Dentists.
"Rather than waiting for the need to come to the care, we bring the care to the need," he said.
The Mobile Dentists program services 14 states, including Ohio and West Virginia. The program employ dentists licensed in Ohio to go into Ohio schools and provide X-rays, cleanings and dental sealants to children who would otherwise go without care. Sealants, as the name suggests, are protective caps that are placed on teeth to prevent decay, said Tolkin.
A similar sealant program is run by the Washington County Health Department, said Renee Robinson, who coordinates the program.
Like The Mobile Dentists, Washington County's in-school sealant program is free of charge. It is targeted at second and sixth grade students, both of whom are at important stages of dental development, said Robinson.
On top of these programs that provide oral check-ups and care, schools are trying to offer more education to students about the importance of dental hygiene. For the past nine years, Ginnie Powers, treatment and marketing coordinator for Eckels Orthodontics, has been donning a set of glittery wings and teaching students about the importance of oral care.
As the tooth fairy, Powers has talked to second and third grade students in approximately 40 schools, alleviating fears children might have about the dentist and stressing essential habits.
"It was pretty successful right off the bat. Some of the kids I'll see a year or two later and the will come running up and say that they still use their toothbrush timer and they do brush every day," she said.
Additionally, Orthodontist Scott Eckels founded a local chapter of Smile For A Lifetime, a nonprofit foundation aimed at providing orthodontic care for children in low-income families.
Eckels covers the complete costs of orthodontics for 24 children a year, who are chosen based on need by a local board of directors, said Powers. Local dentists also pitch in to help with overall dentistry needs, such as fillings or crowns, for the patients, she added.
Orthodontics are an important part of overall oral health because properly aligned teeth help prevent wear on the enamel and inaccessible cavities, Powers said.
Despite a variety of educational and oral health programs in schools, the ODH study shows that oral health in Appalachia is not yet improving.
A 2004-2005 survey of third graders found that 27.9 percent of Washington County third graders had untreated dental decay compared to 25.7 percent of Ohio third graders overall. The most recent version of that survey, conducted over the 2009-2010 school year, found that while the percentage of Washington County third graders with untreated decay jumped to 35.6 percent, the actual overall Ohio percentage went down to 18.7 percent.
It's an uphill battle, and the sticking point, said Miller, is going to be getting parents educated on healthy habits and making sure they enforce those habits.
The local Head Start program does enforce preventative care for their preschool students, she added. Preschool students have to get a signed waiver saying they had a check-up before the school year begins. Similar to enforcing certain vaccinations before the school year, requiring yearly dental check-ups would be a good system to ensure better dental care, she said.
"It'd be good to see that put into place in elementary schools, too," said Miller.

GYPSUM - It wasn't a work of art, but it rarely is after a long holiday break.
The Eagle Valley boys basketball team started 2013 on the right foot Tuesday night with a 66-55 win over Summit County in Gypsum.
"I think half of our guys are still on Christmas break," said Eagle Valley coach Jim Bair somewhat jokingly. "We played poorly. We had some good moments, but we had more minutes that were poor than good."
The Devils (8-2 overall and 4-1 in the 4A Slope) got good looks at the basket in the first half, but couldn't convert. Summit (1-8, 1-4) was plagued by turnovers, including some key traveling calls.
"I thought we played well at times," Tigers coach Philip Tronsrue said. "We had a few lapses in the ball game. We let them push out a bit, but we were down three at a few points. If we shot terribly, I'd say it was the break. I don't know. We were right there."
After the Tigers' Markeith McDonald capped the first quarter with a slam dunk, closing the Devils' lead to 9-7, Eagle Valley finally clicked it into gear with a 16-2 run in the first five minutes of the second quarter.
Travis Edgar started the run with a 3-point play. Sam Lounsberry knocked down two freebies to make it 14-7. Summit's Garrett Tousey had a bucket, but the Devils started running.
Eagle Valley did a nice job shutting down the Tigers on the boards and that led to quick transitions and points. Edgar had a nifty tip-in, followed by two Ayren Hart lay-ups and one by Lounsberry. Jordon Hudspeth capped the run with a 3.
With Eagle Valley leading, 28-17, at the half, Summit still made it a game. (And, yes, if the Tigers' coach looked familiar to Devils' fans, he is. Tronsrue coached at Battle Mountain for seven seasons from 2002-09.)
Summit's Coy Coker and Eagle Valley's Lounsberry traded 3s (two each) to start the third quarter. The Tigers' Thomas DeBonville sank two from the charity stripe, followed by a put-back from McDonald. DeBonville was good for two more from the free-throw line and then got a bucket to help Summit close to 36-33 with 3:27 left in the third.
Eagle Valley replied with two points from Thomas Mills and a pair of buckets from Ayren Hart. The Devils ended the third with another 3-point play from Edgar to push their lead to 48-36.
The Devils could not deliver the knockout punch, despite the fact that the Tigers' Noah Glasco and Merrick Crispell were carrying four fouls into the final eight minutes.
Midway through the fourth, Summit closed again to within three points at 52-49. Eagle Valley's Juan Baca had a key steal, stripping Coker of the ball and getting to Hart for a nice bucket.
Lounsberry led topped the Devils with 22, while McDonald had 18 for the Tigers.
Eagle Valley is off until Jan. 18 when it is at Steamboat Springs, while the Tigers are at Rifle Friday.

Sonya Patricia Bertroch of Delta passed away peacefully on June 7 in the Delta County Memorial Hospital after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. She was 74. Sonya was born May 6, 1938, in Eagle to George and Dorothy Collett. Her father, George, was employed by the D&RGW Railroad; Sonya spent her childhood years in small railroad towns, including Camp Hale in Pando. The family moved to Range, where she attended her elementary school years in Range and Sweetwater. Sonya attended and graduated from Eagle County High School in Gypsum. On Feb. 5, 1956, Sonya married the love of her life, Leslie G. Bertroch (deceased), in Elko, Nev. In 1958, Sonya, her husband and first-born daughter, Melody Sue, moved to the booming railroad town of Bond, where Les was employed with the D&RGW Railroad. There, she set up a loving and caring home for her young family. Two years later, a second daughter, Valerie Ann (Hop), was born. During the next 11 years, Sonya would become the Bond Postmistress, develop lifelong friendships, sell beauty products to her many friends and family, and host bridge parties with her many friends long into the night. She and her two young daughters would travel to the many honky tonks in the surrounding areas to watch, dance and enjoy the music of her husband's country western band. She loved music, especially country, and played a mean saxophone.In 1969, Sonya obtained a position with the Eagle Valley bank as secretary to the bank president; she would move her family to Eagle. During the next 10 years, Sonya and Les would begin their adventure in the horse business and as owner operators of a small self-service gas station. With the help of one of her dearest friends, her two girls became heavily involved in junior and Little Britches rodeos. Although somewhat afraid of the horses and allergic to them, every weekend during the spring, summer and fall, Sonya hauled her daughters and their horses to every event, making sure that their every need was cared for. As her daughters became older and their rodeo events lessened, Sonya and her husband would begin a new adventure in the raising, training and showing of her beloved Appaloosa horses. This would continue for several years.Sonya's many new friends in Eagle would introduce her to a new passion — bowling. Sonya loved to bowl. She and her friends would travel weekly to the area bowling alleys in Avon and Glenwood to compete in the leagues and tournaments. Sonya would become the secretary of many of these leagues, a position she retained for more than 30 years. In 1979, Sonya and her husband would relocate to Crawford where they continued their horse business and her retired husband operated a small ranch. In 1981, Sonya and Les moved to their final residence in Delta where she obtained a position with Combined Insurance as a very successful insurance representative. During the years in Delta, Sonya again became very involved in the sport of bowling. She served as secretary on several of the bowling leagues and was an organizer and secretary/treasurer for the many tournaments held at the local bowling alley. Sonya attended the yearly state bowling tournaments and national tournaments traveling to places such as Reno, Las Vegas, New Orleans and more. Sonya loved to travel. When she and her countless friends were not traveling to bowling events, they were on a gamblers flight to Wendover, Reno, Elko or driving to Blackhawk, Ignacio, Cortez. "Spending my children and grandchildren's inheritance," she would say with a smile and a twinkle in her eyes.In 1995, Sonya began her career with Martin Mortuary as a counselor for grieving families. She transferred to Mesa View Mortuary in Delta. When it was purchased by Taylor Funeral Service & Crematory, Sonya retained her position as a family counselor until her passing, attending the needs of grieving families, helping them set up the arrangements and making sure every detail was attended to. Sonya was an avid sports fan. She loved watching her favorite sports teams — the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets and Colorado Rockies. She was able to attend a few games in Denver. Watching her enthusiasm when the players would enter the field or the court, listening to her cheering them on and booing the referees is a special memory for those who were with her. Watching her beloved quarter back, John Elway, win back-to-back Super Bowls; staying up until midnight to watch her Nuggets win in double overtime; seeing her Rockies make it to the championship; "That is what being a fan is about," she would say.Sonya's greatest joy was spending time with her daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The holidays, family birthdays and family outings to the lake for a picnic and a boat ride or a backyard BBQ were special to her and she treasured every moment.Sonya was a remarkable daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was the ultimate caregiver and was always there for anyone if needed. She was a strong, kind, gentle and caring woman who lived life to its fullest. Her zest for life, her unconditional love and her ability to bring out the best in everyone around her will live on through the lives that she touched. Sonya is survived by her daughters, Melody Clark (Joe) of Grand Junction and Valerie Ross (Bob) of Delta; grandchildren Melissa Musella (John) of Virginia Beach; Joe Clark Jr. (Melissa) of Grand Junction, Robbie Olsen of Eagle, Rachell Olsen (Jake) of Grand Junction, Stephanie Ross of Grand Junction and Kelsey Ross of Delta; great-grandchildren Alyssa, Samantha, Johnny, Aidynn, Trinity and Gianna; her precious yellow cat, Punkie; and several family members including uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and dear friends.Sonya is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 39 years, Les; her wonderful parents, George and Dorothy Collett; a baby brother, Georgy (George Jr.) Collett; and other family members and dear friends.In honor of Sonya's memory, a service will be held at Taylor Funeral Service & Crematory on Saturday, June 16, beginning at 10 a.m. at 682 1725 Road in Delta. A luncheon hosted by family and friends will be held at the Bill Hellman Rec Center following the services at 11:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, Sonya's family respectively requests that donations be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Efforts.

OAKLAND -- Upset about what he perceived as the media twisting his pregame comments about Andrew Bogut's injury status and indicating there was a problem in his locker room, Warriors coach Mark Jackson said Monday after a 123-80 thrashing of Philadelphia that no such issue existed.
Bogut said before the game, after hearing about Jackson's comment that his left shoulder inflammation might have been caused by sleeping, that it was "absolutely ridiculous." Bogut explained he had suffered a bone bruise in his left shoulder playing against Utah last month. Jackson said the two later spoke and that "it's nothing."
"It's a fun time," Jackson said with a laugh after the Warriors got a career-high 32 points out of backup big man Marreese Speights with Bogut and Jermaine O'Neal sidelined. "I mean, we are 10 games over .500. Some of you (media) guys haven't seen that in a long, long time, so keep on acting like you have. We are going to work our tails off and continue to try to be a good basketball team and celebrate how far we've come and how much further we've got to go."
Speights induced smiles on the sideline, standing ovations in the stands, and even MVP chants at Oracle Arena as the 76ers suffered their second embarrassing loss in two nights.
The Warriors led by as many as 49 points with the 6-foot-10 former 76er Speights stepping forward to make 12 of 15 field goal attempts while adding eight rebounds and three blocks.
Before the game, Bogut wasn't thrilled. He hurt the shoulder while playing Jan. 31 in a win at Utah, began getting sore the day after and played through the discomfort in Tuesday's loss to Charlotte. He said he woke up in pain the following day and thought, "It's really killing me." An MRI exam later revealed a bone bruise and swelling, Bogut said.
"It's gotten worse and worse, so I just wanted to address it," said Bogut, who because of the shoulder has missed three games after being sidelined 50 games last season with various injuries. "The sleeping comment is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know where it came from."
"It's definitely not the case I just woke up, slept on my shoulder wrong and have a bone bruise and swelling in my shoulder from sleeping. Very highly unlikely, I believe."
Jackson said before the game he did not know how Bogut got hurt before offering these comments:
"As far as I know, it was not on the court," Jackson said. "It wasn't in practice. It wasn't in a game. I'm not really sure. It may have been sleeping, and I say that in all seriousness, but it's important for us to make sure we continue to treat him, it's legitimate, and then let's be smart with it. We're looking ahead at a whole week of rest and recovery, and we need him."
Jackson blamed the media for making it seem like he took a shot at Bogut.
"I understand how you can make it much more appealing and go for the home run," he said. "But in three years, in the 23-win season, I didn't throw anybody under the bus. And you can wait and wait and wait. And it won't happen here until somebody else is sitting here. That's not my M.O., and contrary to the choir, it won't be my M.O. I believe in every one of my guys, and I'm proud of what we've been able to do, and I'll go down being me. I can't be anybody else."
O'Neal missed the game because of right wrist inflammation, leaving a banged-up David Lee (sprained shoulder, strained hip) to return to the lineup at center and come through with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Speights gave the Warriors a performance to remember, earning MVP chants from the crowd with his play.
"That was so funny, I started laughing," said Speights, who made his first seven field goal attempts and had a season-high 22 points by halftime.
Stephen Curry added 23 points and eight assists, getting a late-game rest as the Warriors emptied their bench.

Farewell OpenOffice, long live LibreOffice Many OpenOffice developers left & started LibreOffice. See Wikipedia LibreOffice & Wikipedia OpenOffice
sorry downloaded version ist 3.1.1 instead 3.2.1
I use OOo for rather heavy data piloting (pivot tables for you Excel diehards). With version 3, OOo became faster than Excel and Neo, with 3.1 more stable, too. And file sizes are a fraction of what Excel produces.
Hopefully the OOo folks will now turn their attention to usability. More Numbers, less Excel, please.
Title of this app says 2.4, but version says 3.0.1
Merge this with http://osx.iusethis.com/app/openoffice
Finally! I've been limping along on NeoOffice, which is fine but because it's Java-based, HORRIBLY slow. And that's on a Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Xeon. I can only imagine what it must be like for people on two or three generations-ago iMacs. Now, after a long wait, we have an OS X-native version of OpenOffice. Hallelujah! I can stop toying with the idea of paying for Microsoft's bloatware anymore.
This one has been great for me all the way back to my windows based machines..seems to be blazing fast and has never - and i mean literally never - crashed one me!!!
Version 3.0 is not in beta stage anymore. (The description of this app must be updated.)
This is the offical release of OpenOffice without X11 dependencies.
It's not very different from NeoOffice, but seems faster to me in an Intel-based iMac (Dual Core, 2 GHz), running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.5).
Absolutely love it. It does what I want just as it has since the days of Starwriter. I've been using NeoOffice for quite a while in between but when you work with graphics and drawings, this is definitely the better choice. Using it full time at home and in the office now.
I've used it since Windows. And now on Mac OS X I think it is the best free office suite.

Think about the first recorded sound you can remember. Think about when it was recorded. Try to recall what format it was in. Could you play it today if you needed to? Could you even find it?
This month the Library of Congress released it's long awaited and congressionally mandated National Recording Preservation Plan. It provides the blueprint for the public and private sector to work together in saving America's recorded sound heritage. It takes on issues from preservation infrastructure (how are we storing this stuff?) and access to education and policy.
Consider this: it is estimated that over half of the titles recorded on cylinder records – which were the dominant but not exclusive format used in the first 23 years of recording – are gone. That's it. Just gone.
Those were physical recordings. What does that mean for today's cloud based recordings?
But losses aren't limited to format. In 1978, a fire in an Atlantic Records storage facility (non-air-conditioned, by the way) destroyed virtually all of their unreleased masters recorded from 1948-1969. Masters from the Coasters, the Drifters, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles (Bubbles in the Think Tank listeners were particularly distressed over the loss of the only known recording of "Monkey Lupe Lu" from Harvey Fuqua) were lost in the damage.
And it's not just physical and format challenges. Our outdated copyright laws block the preservation process at every turn. Conservators cannot legally make a digital copy of any recording unless that recording has already begun to deteriorate. With older analog recordings, the challenge of getting permission to make copies before the deterioration has begun can be near impossible as rights holders can't be found or the rights have transferred to multinational corporations who don't care about anything that doesn't make money for them.
Now, just for the fun of it, let's say you know what recording you're looking for. Today there is no efficient way for researchers, let alone the general public (artists and musicians, this means you), to discover what sound recordings exist and where they can be found. Even if you manage to find a source online, copyright restrictions may well limit availability.
At least now we're thinking about it. Recommendations in the Preservation Plan include:
1. Create a publicly accessible national directory of institutional, corporate and private recorded-sound collections and an authoritative national discography that details the production of recordings and the location of preservation copies in public institutions;
2. Develop a coordinated national collections policy for sound recordings, including a strategy to collect, catalog and preserve locally produced recordings, radio broadcast content and neglected and emerging audio formats and genres;
3. Establish university-based degree programs in audio archiving and preservation and continuing education programs for practicing audio engineers, archivists, curators and librarians;
4. Establish best practices for creating and preserving born-digital audio files;
5. Develop a basic licensing agreement to enable on-demand secure streaming by libraries and archives of out-of-print recordings.
There are 32 recommendations in all, and I recommend that you read them. In the name of freeform radio, I hope we can support the funding and policy work that will be needed to make these happen. We can pretend that recordings will last forever or we can make sure that you can hear The Gumm Sisters' "The Land of Let's Pretend" whenever it needs to be played:
The land of Let's Pretend….So why did Judy change her name from Frances Ethel Gumm ???
What a poseur.
Thanks for the information and the well written article. Quite the scribbler, Toots. All music lovers and anyone who care about America's cultural heritage and art should be concerned about this !!.
………………………………………… So it's from something called "Bubbles">>>Are you kidding ? OH I With Mae Questel !
"Bubbles" (1930)
A Vitaphone Varieties short which starts with Mae Questel singing the introductory song "My Pretty Bubble". Bubbles features a land of make believe where the Vitaphone Kiddies dance and sing. The Gumm Sisters appear alongside the Vitaphone kiddies and perform "In the Land of Let's Pretend".
I love this old pic of you in a previous life 🙂

On Jan. 2 at 2:03 p.m., Milpitas police received a 911 call from a victim reporting an armed robbery that had occurred on South Main Street at Carlo Street, not far from KFC at 73 S. Main St.
The victim, a 30-year-old San Jose man, reported two suspects approached and pointed a revolver at him and his wife and demanded their wallets.
Both victims complied. The suspects started to leave the area, then returned and demanded the victims' cell phones as well, police said.
Both victims again complied and gave the suspects their property.
The suspects were described as white male adults, with the one holding the gun dressed in a dark blue hooded sweatshirt and wearing black gloves.
Milpitas police officers arrived within 27 seconds. Within an hour, their investigation led them to the suspect's location in the 100 block of North Milpitas Boulevard at Calaveras Boulevard, police said.
At approximately 3:05 p.m., officers took both suspects into custody after the men tried to use the victim's information to purchase food at McDonald's and take money from the nearby Citibank branch.
The officers recovered most of the victims' property and a loaded revolver handgun in the suspect's possession, police said.
Nicolas David Gjers, 22, of San Jose, and transient Stanley Allen Arnold, 23, were both booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on two counts of robbery, burglary, conspiracy, being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and carrying a concealed firearm in a public place with the intent to commit a felony, police said.
Anyone with any information about this case is asked to call Milpitas Police Department at (408) 586-2400. Information can also be given anonymously by calling (408) 586-2500.
