MARIETTA - For nearly 30 years, more women than men have died due to cardiovascular disease. Still, says one Marietta doctor, women remain somewhat unaware of the risk.
"Women have this feeling that their likelihood of developing heart disease is less than their husband, but that just is not the case," said Dr. Joseph Mayo, lead cardiologist at Marietta Memorial Hospital.
Getting women to acknowledge those risks can be a challenge and to acknowledge that challenge nearly 200 women gathered Thursday at Marietta Memorial Hospital's annual Go Red for Women Luncheon at the Marietta Shrine Club.

Marietta Memorial Hospital marketing writer Colleen Kiser hands a flower arrangement to Carol McConnell, 67, of Lowell. McConnell, who was attending the hospital's annual Go Red for Women Luncheon for the first time, learned more about exercise programs available at the hospital.
Women donned scarlet sweaters, ruby hats and crimson dresses to raise awareness and to honor loved ones affected by cardiovascular disease -the No. 1 killer of both women and men.
Belpre resident Francis Hupp, 71, was wearing red for her parents.
"My mother died of a heart attack and my father died of a heart attack," she said.
After last year's luncheon, Hupp decided it was time to schedule an appointment with Mayo and everything checked out well.
"He said to tell the kids not to count on the inheritance money any time soon," she joked.
One of the reasons women may be more unlikely to reach out for help, said Mayo, is because the symptoms of heart problems in women are much more subtle than those men experience.
"A man might come in and say that it feels like there's a crushing pain on his chest, where a woman might come in and say her shoulder hurts or she feels achy," explained Mayo.
One of the good things about the luncheons is that they encourage people to be vigilant about those check-ups, said Jennifer Offenberger, director of marketing and public relations for the Memorial Health System.
"As women, we don't always put ourselves as No. 1," she said.
The event encouraged Carol McConnell, 67, of Lowell, to try something new.
"I'm thinking of doing some of the exercise groups," said McConnell, who is already a member of the hospital's 55 Plus Program.
Several ladies at the table next to McConnell participate in "Workout With Wendy," a Wednesday morning exercise group for those in the 55 Plus Program.
Group member Carol O'Grady, 61, of Marietta, was wearing red to support her fellow workout pals.
"Wendy asked some of us to come and we thought it was a great idea," she said.
Malanie See, 75, of Williamstown, was wearing her bright red knit sweater for her brother, who died two years ago.
"He had a bad heart. He also had diabetes, but his heart was bad," she said.
Diabetes is one risk factor people tend to overlook, said Mayo.
"Unfortunately, we have high rates of diabetes and pre-diabetes in our area. If you have one of those diseases, you have to own it and take care of the disease," said Mayo.
Williamstown resident Barbara Farley's aunt is her inspiration for being vigilant about her heart health.
"My aunt died very suddenly from a heart attack," said Farley, 76.
There had been no previous indication that there was even a problem, said Farley of her aunt, who had raised her.
There are several steps to take to lessen risk factors, pointed out Dr. Shane Parmer, a vascular surgeon at Marietta Memorial Hospital.
"It's kind of hard to believe people still don't believe smoking contributes to heart disease," he said.
In addition to giving up tobacco, patients can do simple things like eat healthy foods, exercise regularly and participate in a vascular screening program, which is offered for free at Marietta Memorial Hospital.

Non-Filipinos may not understand precisely how important text messaging is. Heck, even with a Net connection at the lab, I _still_ didn't feel quite connected until I sent my first text message and got back a reply.
Whee! Whee! Whee!
Canadian cellular providers all suck. Fido sucks less than the others because it actually allows me to use my Nokia cellphone to text the Philippines for CAD 0.20 (although the guy warned me that cell providers in the Philippines might drop text during peak seasons like Christmas).
Rogers is also a GSM provider, but they said they can only text to around 10 countries. (Which doesn't make sense, because Fido and Rogers are practically the same company now...)
None of the providers will let me send e-mail from my phone. =(
But I'm so desperate for some kind of connectivity that I'll settle for text.

August 30, 2016
News 12 also remembers law enforcement officers who have died in our area:
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Deputy James D. Paugh was heading home from work but decided to stop and handle one last call before turning in for the night.
It was a call that cost his life, but is being recognized as heroic by friends, family, co-workers and other members of the community.
Paugh stopped to check on a car that was pulled over on Bobby Jones Expressway. That is when police say 26-year-old Christopher Michael Hodges, a soldier stationed at Fort Gordon, opened fire.
Autopsy results revealed Paugh was shot nine times by the suspect. One of the bullets struck Paugh's weapon, disabling it from functioning.
Sheriff Ronnie Strength says it appears Hodges took his own life shortly after killing Paugh. Evidence indicates at least 42 rounds were fired at the scene.
Paugh was a 17-year veteran of law enforcement.
Sheriff Strength issued a special order Oct. 25 to retire Paugh's call sign, T-31, in honor of the fallen deputy.
"Deputy James D. Paugh was doing what he loved to do -- serving the people of this community," Strength said in the order.
His funeral was held at 11 a.m. on Oct. 27 at the First Baptist Church of Augusta on Walton Way Extension. Rodger B. Murchison, the associate pastor of First Baptist Church, and Chaplain Ken Gross of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office officiated. Interment followed at Hillcrest Memorial Park.
Local residents showed support for Paugh's family and fellow officers on the day of his funeral by placing signs and ribbons along the funeral route.
To watch the video of the entire funeral, click here
Here is the transcript of what was read at Deputy Paugh's funeral:
"What makes a hero?
Someone brave or strong? Someone fearless or noble? I have heard that J.D. Paugh was a hero. Was that because of the way he died or the way he lived?
Maybe both, but this service is a celebration of life, not death. This service is a celebration of hope, not despair. This service is a celebration of peace, not violence.
J. D. was a peace Office, a law enforcement office, he was a hero.
What makes a hero? The making of a hero is day after day doing what is right. Even when you are tired. Even when you are going home late at night and the day has been long but your duty tells you, someone might need me. And you go.
What makes a hero? When children say, "He grilled food for us in the apartment complex." "He was a good cop, I liked him." When a child says, "I'm going to miss Deputy Paugh."
What makes a hero? It is an ordinary guy who is willing to do extraordinary things when duty calls.
What makes a hero? Listen to voices all around the United States who have written words of commendation about a man they call a hero:
Richmond County Sheriff's Office:
The men and women of the Walker Police Department, Walker La., are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Deputy James Paugh. When we put on our badges each day and prepare to serve our communities, we all share the sacrifice of exposing ourselves to the potential of becoming a victim of senseless and often random acts of violence. Yet we willingly accept that sacrifice because of a greater call to duty as a public servant. Deputy Paugh made the ultimate sacrifice and by doing so, likely prevented injury or death to the public that he swore he would protect … Our spirits are lifted in the knowledge that Deputy Paugh died a hero, and we are proud of his courage and selfless actions.
Please extend our condolences to your deputies and staff. Our prayers are with you all, and with Deputy Paugh's family and we ask that God be with all of you, that He give you all the strength and resolve to get through this very difficult time and that He use this tragedy to bring your Department and your community closer together.
With deepest sympathy,
Captain John Sharp
Public Information Officer
Walker Police Department
Walker, Lousiana
Sheriff's (Office),
You guys are in my prayers over here in Texas. It saddens me to here of the loss of Deputy Paugh. He will be missed by the thousands in our line of work.
May God bless you and your department.
Corporal Brian Bernardo
Runaway Bay Department of Public Safety
Runaway Bay, Texas
(Dear) Sheriff,
I'd like to offer my condolences in the horrific death of Deputy James Paugh. I'm a retired officer from the Miami-Dade Police Department (Deputy) with a total of 36 years in law enforcement. It hit me especially hard to see the motor of Deputy James Paugh down on the roadside because I was a motorman. I'll be praying for Deputy Paugh, his family and extended family of law enforcement.
Gregory L Horton
Miami-Dade, Florida Police Department
Richmond Co. Sheriff's Office:
I am deeply saddened by the death of Deputy Sheriff James D. Paugh. The heartfelt appreciation … goes out to his family and friends. He served honorably and faithfully, answering the call of duty when he was needed.
Please express my sympathy and deepest condolences to his family, and that they are in my prayers during this time of grief. He is a true hero, and I hope the fact that he is honored by so many brings them some comfort in this time of loss. May they feel the comfort and love from across this nation embrace them and hold them up during this difficult time. We will not forget him and will forever be in his debt for what he has done for us.
Please let the members of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office know they are in my prayers during this dark time as they continue the mission of making our world a safer place. To each of you I say a big "thank you" for doing what you do everyday. Thank you for going into "the office" when you don't feel like it. Thank you for working the night shift when we are safe in bed. Thank you for putting on that uniform every day. Thank you for working holidays. Thank you for going through doors when you (don't) know what … (might) be behind them. You are in my prayers.
Dr. Mike Crain
Huber Heights, OH 45424
What makes a Hero?
Listen to the Word of the Lord: Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, (and this is what makes a hero) whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me -- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
What makes a hero? Truth, right, pure, admirable.
And you may be saying, why do heroes die? Why are we here? Why is this such a senseless act of violence?
'Why' questions must be asked, but in the end they are a one-way road to nowhere. I challenge us all to change our grief question from 'why' to 'what.'
What do we do, now that this has happened? What can be done to honor the memory of J.D.? What can be done to comfort J.D.'s family and friends? What are my favorite memories of J.D.? What J. D. stories could I tell and keep on telling? What would J.D. want us to do?
I think J.D. would say, "Be your own hero."
And what makes a hero? It is an ordinary guy or gal who is willing to do extraordinary things when duty calls.
Are you willing? What have we learned today? Oh not just about J.D. Paugh -- although he was a dedicated officer and a great guy. What have you learn today about life? Maybe about your life?
What have you learned about what makes a hero?
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is admirable -- think about such things.
And with Jesus Christ as your Savior and guide -- there is no question about what makes a hero."

Czech Republic, 2011, 91 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Animated, Drama, Family IssuesLanguage: Czech English Sub-Titles
For those trapped in the ugly, snow-clogged, nameless village at the heart of Czech director's Zdenek Jiráský's unblinking drama, life is a constant battle against tedium and depression. A scraggly, defeated head-of-household, Jarda Hrdina (Vladimír Javorský), measures out his bone-weary days as a railroad signalman, then wastes his nights (and his meager salary) feeding the slot machines in the back room of a cheap bar. Not even his considerable skill as an artist who builds meticulous matchstick sculptures inside wine bottles can give pleasure to a citizen so bottled-up himself. Meanwhile, Jarda's wife scrubs toilets at the train station. His son grows pot and curses his fate with other layabout teenagers; they drink themselves stupid whenever they can afford it. And Hrdina's daughter has gotten pregnant by a local ne'er-do-well.
What relief for human beings so wretched? Weekly striptease shows don't do the trick, and when the aging women of the town decide to re-enact a synchronized dance-and-gymnastics act they performed 25 years earlier at a state-sponsored "festival of physical culture," the glow is long gone from these former "flower buds." Nothing may bloom in this village again.
Thus do writer-director Jiráský, a brave ensemble cast and an able cinematographer (Vladimír Smutný) reveal the soul-killing limits of existence in the post-Stalinist Czech Republic. Bright flags may have waved when the Soviet Union collapsed, and the new capitalist economy might have lifted some boats, but this relentlessly bleak look at the uncertain aftermath of totalitarian rule is not likely to thrill the Czech ministry of tourism.

A Must Read - Share
Last week, InstantCab announced to the world that it had received a partial cease-and-desist letter from the San Francisco International Airport, asking it to stop picking up and dropping off passengers there. Well, apparently it wasn't alone, as other new transportation startups had also received the same notice last month. SideCar, for instance, confirmed that it received a cease-and-desist letter in early March. Zimride's Lyft hasn't responded to our inquiries, but we've heard that it too was one of the companies hit with a C&D notice. InstantCab, which

This episode, (download here) the Geeks are happy to chat with Jeremy and Golden, the co-founders of the Altra Running Company (@AltraZeroDrop) based out of Utah. The guys come on the show to talk about the genesis of their popular running show company as well as give us a back story about their running, which they are awesome at by the way. For instance, Golden's marathon time of 2:45 at the age of 12 is still a world's best for that age.
These guys have been working in the running speciality store arena for most of their lives and were really pioneers of the zero drop running shoe movement even before the popularity of Christopher McDougall's Born to Run. On this episode, they share their stories, talk about their motivation for running in zero drop shoes, and most importantly educate us on the typical path of transition to a zero drop shoe.
Also, they were really generous to offer an exclusive discount for GiRS listeners this week (December 4th, 2011 through December 11th, 2011) on their website – www.altrazerodrop.com. Use the discount code "ALTRAGIRS12" when you checkout and you will automatically receive 15% off of your order. We thank the guys over at Altra for hooking us up with this offer.

I'm Out of the Office. No, Really. I Am.
I was out of the office for two weeks earlier this spring. Before I left, I performed all the usual tasks: I tidied up my desk, wrapped up a few stories and set up an out-of-office email message. The note said I would be out for two weeks and would NOT (yes, I used all caps) have regular access to email. I also provided an alternate contact for the duration of my absence.
But I quickly learned that my attempt to truly unplug was futile.
The red blinking light of doom emanating from my BlackBerry drew me in. I tried to resist, but I was too weak. So I checked my messages.
I was horrified to see at least four or five notes following up on emails that had only been sent a day or two earlier–when my out-of-office response was already switched on. The senders knew I was out, yet they still felt the need to send another note, asking why I didn't respond. One went so far as to send a text message to my personal cellphone after receiving my automatic reply, convinced that her news was too important to wait. (It wasn't.)
Is the out-of-office message meaningless? Earlier this year a New Yorker column got to the heart of the problem: People often don't really mean it when they say they're not checking messages. Then, when someone actually does need to go off the grid, it's not taken as a serious threat. It's a problem plenty of people have, but there are fixes:
–Turn it off. I got lured in when my BlackBerry winked at me from across the room. If I had turned the device off entirely, I wouldn't have known when someone was trying to get my attention.
–Declare email bankruptcy. Lauren Young, wealth editor at Thomson Reuters, sets her automatic reply to convey that she may just delete everything received during her absence so as to avoid being overwhelmed by thousands of unread messages upon her return. If it's really important, she instructs people, send it again once she's back in the office. "It's not that I don't want to answer people. I'm not trying to be rude," Young told me. "I just can't. There's not enough time."
People who disobey her instructions are pretty much asking to have their messages deleted, she said. "I don't feel guilty about that."
–Remind colleagues to be brief. Managers and coworkers know you're out, and should respect your time away just as you are expected to honor theirs. If they feel obligated to send messages, encourage them to use hints in the subject line. For example, "NNTR" means there's no need to respond and you can just deal with it when you're back. Or "EOM" indicates you don't even need to open the message because everything was said in the subject line. (This is particularly useful for things like "I found your ID badge" or "So-and-so stopped by looking for you.")
–Get over yourself. Leslie Perlow, a Harvard Business School professor and author of Sleeping With Your Smartphone, says time off (and tuning out) can be an exercise in humility, as employees learn that "the world functions just fine when I'm out." By delegating responsibility before departing, workers can see that their companies don't collapse with their absence, and may be more inclined to take real vacations going forward.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Head Coach Royce Chadwick has announced the hiring of Darren Brunson as an assistant coach for the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team, it was announced today.
"We are very excited to add Darren to our staff," Chadwick said. "He brings a wealth of experience to our team. Not only is he a great recruiter, but a tremendous floor coach. He knows Texas recruiting and is one of the best evaluators I have ever been associated with. Darren is a welcome addition to our Islanders family and we are very fortunate to have him with us."
Brunson comes to the Island University after spending the past two years as the associate head coach and team's recruiting coordinator at Texas Southern University.
"I'm excited about being an Islander and I'm looking forward to taking this program to the next level," Brunson said. "I'm eager about the opportunity to work with Coach Chadwick and his staff. With the staff that we have and the facilities that we have here on the Island we have an opportunity to bring in exceptional student-athletes to help compete for a Southland Conference Championship."
Prior to joining the Tigers, he worked at the University of Texas-El Paso from 2002-10. It was there where Brunson played an instrumental role in recruiting and shaping the Miners program. He led UTEP to three consecutive winning seasons, including two that consisted of 20-plus victories.
Brunson began his career at Independence Community College in 1987 as an assistant men's basketball coach. In 1989 he took the reins of the women's basketball program and at the same time served as the director of athletics from 1991-2001. He also served as the men's and women's basketball academic counselor.
The Wichita, Kan., native received the Army Commendation during the 1990 season after being called to active duty for Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield.
During his playing days (1983-85) at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, Brunson, dished out 478 assists, shattering the school record. He also tallied an impressive 7.5 assists per game. After graduation, Brunson was a student assistant for St. Mary's from 1985-87. In 2004, he was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame.
Brunson and his wife, Cynthia, have three children, Darius, Deion and Deiona. He also has a son, Darren, Jr. Brunson earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from St. Mary's in 1987. He later earned his master's degree in administration from Pittsburg State in 1998.

MARIETTA - The Washington County Habitat for Humanity's annual fundraising event, the Paul L. Callihan dinner and auction, should raise enough money for volunteers to begin building another home for a local family in need.
The 13th annual event will be Friday at the Marietta Shrine Club on Pennsylvania Avenue, next to Indian Acres Park in Marietta.
The benefit is named after the late Paul L. Callihan, a former board member with Habitat for Humanity.
"Last year the event had a little over 200 people and raised around $13,000," said Dennis Thomas, director of Washington County Habitat for Humanity. "We are hoping to have similar if not better numbers this year."
Thomas said the exposure in the community is just as valuable to the organization as the money that's raised.
"We like to refer to it as our 'friendraising' event rather than a fundraising event," he said.
The evening begins with a silent auction at 5:30 p.m., with entertainment, dinner and a live auction to follow throughout the night.
"The auction service is donated and led by McLeish Auction Services," Thomas said. "It varies from year to year but items for auction in the past have included dinner certificates, power equipment and even a fire pit."
Tickets for the event are $30 per person, $50 per couple or $200 for a table of eight, and the catering service is provided by Cowboy Concessions.
"They have always done a wonderful job with the event," Thomas said. "They also are generous enough to donate a portion of their services to the cause."
All of the proceeds from the tickets and auction go directly toward the organization's next project.
"We have so many sponsors that continue to donate year after year," said Jo Ann Ingram, a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.
She has attended the annual dinner for the past 10 years and always enjoys the experience, she said.
"The overall atmosphere of the evening is great," Ingram said. "I always see a bunch of people I know, plus bidding on items is really fun."
Ingram served as the secretary of the board for six years and still continues to give her time to the organization.
"I doubt I'll ever stop volunteering for the organization," she said. "The satisfaction of knowing you helped put a family in a home is a wonderful feeling."
Habitat just finished building a home in Belpre, but Thomas isn't certain where the next project will be located.
"We are actually fortunate enough to have two locations our next project could be built on," he said. "It's always such a blessing to see someone who couldn't afford their own home get the keys to one."
There is also always more room for volunteers, said Ingram.
"Everyone can volunteer, even if you can't do the carpentry or building there is always something you can do to help," she said. "Sharing time and resources is what the organization, and this event are all about."

PARKERSBURG - Going from "here" to "there" in a career was the theme of the 2013 Women in Leadership luncheon, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley.
Laura Prisc, founder of Leadership and Potential LLC, spoke Wednesday on the topic of "What got you here, won't get you there."
Prisc said her presentation was from the book by Marshall Goldsmith of the same title.

Laura Prisc, founder of Leadership and Potential LLC, was the main speaker at the "Women In Leadership Luncheon" Wednesday at Grand Pointe Conference Center in Vienna.
"One of the things I tell people I work with is to be self-aware," she said. "The more you know about yourself the more potential you have for getting to where you want to go."
Prisc said behaviors she learned early in life, such as being assertive and speaking frankly and directly, served her well growing up.
"But as I got beyond college and the working world, kind of not so much after a while," she said. "People wanted to help me as I went through my earlier years but I said 'no thanks, got it covered, taking care of it, I don't need you.'"
Prisc said that behavior served her but she realized she needed to change and found the book would have served her well 20 years earlier.
"I learned it is safe to include other people, to need them and to allow them to get close enough to me," she said. "Yes, I might get hurt but the value of the relationships is huge and, frankly, it's not possible for one person to be everything to everybody; it really is not possible to do it all yourself."
There are 20 behaviors that people need to break in the workplace that may have served them well, but they no longer work as well or not at all, Prisc said. They ranged from winning too much, passing judgment, failing to give proper recognition and not listening.
The list has an additional habit that needs to go - goal obsession, she said. It can be a driver of success but it can become a "blatant cause of failure."
"Recognize the behavior in yourself and stop it," she said.
Prisc said being self-aware can be good and bad.
"Self-awareness is what helped me change my behaviors," she said. "It is a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because you know you can choose to do something different but it is difficult; it's a curse because you cannot unring that bell; once you know, you know."
Prisc said it is important to have the right mentors in the journey to change.
"Find someone you trust; you need a tour guide not a travel agent," she said. "I mean someone who has been on this journey before you, who has gone through similar experiences before you so you can learn from what they learned."
It is more efficient and insightful to work with mentors and coaches than just relying on books, Prisc said.
"Opportunity may show up, but you have to be prepared to take it. Be self-aware, be intentional and focus on where you are going," Prisc said.
The program included a panel of area businesswomen who discussed the challenges and excitement encountered during their careers.

Regis Philbin believes part of his job is to cheer up America ."The news is so grim in the newspapers and on television that I just feel like people deserve a little cheering up, and if I can give it to them I'll try," Philbin says about his daily dose of good cheer on Regis and Kelly, the top morning show.
Philbin says that living literally across the street from the show's West Side studio is a huge benefit and he makes a point of getting out and about several nights a week – movies, openings, concerts – so he'll have something to banter about with Kelly Ripa during their host chat segment.
Philbin says his hero was Bing Crosby. He grew up listening to Bing Crosby, a half-hour every night without fail on the radio starting at 9:30. "I fell in love with his voice," Philbin recalls. "It was just a clear, beautiful voice, and it was so friendly that I began to think he was my friend."
Years went by, and Philbin moved to Hollywood to start his career. At one point, from 1967-'69, he was a sidekick for the comedian Joey Bishop who hosted a late-night TV talk show. Bishop knew of Philbin's childhood affection for Crosby, and when the legendary crooner showed up on the show as a guest one night Bishop asked Crosby to sing the Irish lullaby "Toora Loora Loora" for his biggest fan, Philbin.
"Well, my God, I'm sitting there, and I can't believe I'm sitting next to Bing Crosby, and then he sings 'Toora Loora Loora' to me. It was a wonderful moment," Philbin remembers.
But the thrill didn't stop there. When the show returned from an ad break Bishop told Crosby that Philbin knew all of his songs, and then asked Regis to sing a sample.
"Oh, I was dying. I had never sang before," says Philbin.
"Bing was looking right at me and I sang 'Pennies From Heaven,' which was one of his great hits. I got a recording contract the next day from Mercury Records in Chicago. That's only because I happened to be in the right spot."
Philbin is deeply proud of his Irish heritage. Born in New York City and raised in the Bronx, he's an equal mix of Irish and Italian, with his paternal grandfather hailing from Co. Mayo and maternal granddad from Italy.
"My father Francis Philbin was born on the Upper East Side in the Yorkville area. His father had come from Ireland," says Philbin.
"To make a long story short, there were many members of the Italian family, so my poor father was outnumbered. He was a good guy about it.
"My mother's sisters would descend on our little house in the Bronx, and every Sunday there would be a big chicken dinner and lots of spaghetti and meatballs. In those days it was rather common for the Irish to marry someone outside of their own background."
But the Irish side of young Regis, who was named after father's alma mater Regis High School in the city, wasn't totally overwhelmed by the Italian.
"Oh, no," he says. "I marched in every one of the St. Patrick's Day parades when I went to Cardinal Hayes High School. It's a really great parade!
"Then I went to Notre Dame, home of the Fighting Irish, and that gave me a little more stature as an Irishman."
How did a kid from a close-knit family who had never left New York before wind up all the way in South Bend, Indiana to attend one of the most revered Irish institutions in the world?
As Philbin tells it, his father was in the Marine Corps and served during World War II in the Pacific. One of his fellow Marines was a guy called Moose Krause, an all-American football player who played for the famous coach Knute Rockne at Notre Dame.
"At night, Moose would stand in front of the bonfires that these officers had where they would have dinner, and he would regale them with stories of Notre Dame and the Fighting Irish and the Four Horseman," says Philbin.
"My father was enchanted. Krause was a great motivational speaker. So when it came time for me to go to college there was no question. My father called Moose, and Moose called Father Thornton, who was in charge of registration, and before I knew it I was going to Notre Dame."
Once a Notre Damer, always a Notre Damer, and that certainly holds true for Philbin, who graduated in 1953 with a degree in sociology.
"It becomes part of your life forever," Philbin says. "There's no getting around it. So I've loved being part of it all these years. And, of course, I've died with the football team."
Ah, yes, the football team, the pride and joy of Notre Dame. It would just help if they could win a few more games, the beleaguered fan Philbin says.

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about one cup)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups whole spelt flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (I happen to like pecans better, so I used those instead)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 X 13 pan.
Cream the butter and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Beat in the bananas, lemon juice, vanilla, baking powder, salt and spices, scraping the bowl. Add the egg, beating until smooth and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl again. Stir in the flour, mixing thoroughly. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes; it'll thicken a bit as it stands. Sprinkle the chocolate and nuts on top.
Bake until the center is moist but not liquid, 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack. For best texture, allow them to rest overnight, covered, before cutting and serving.
Also. Here's a little banana tip for you. Did you know you could freeze bananas? If you've got some that are really ripe and ready to use, but you don't have the time or inclination to use them at the moment, just place them whole and unpeeled in a freezer bag and freeze them until you need them. Thaw overnight in the fridge. They'll be messy and soft, but full of flavor. No more throwing out bananas.... YAY!

This past Saturday, East Gadsden's playoff run ended on their home floor against Bolles High of Jacksonville. The Jaguars came out with a lot of energy and confidence at the start of their regional final game against Bolles High, and after a big 8-point quarter by Amaru Bryant, they held a 13-12 lead at the start of the second quarter.
Buckwheat's, a new place in town just opened.
I was close to ecstatic when I realized the second word, (in much smaller print), after "Buckwheat's," was "BBQ."
One of my all-time favorite things to do in this lifetime was to get up early and meet my good friend Joe Faggione for a hearty breakfast of buckwheat pancakes.
Now I search far and wide and cannot find a restaurant that serves those delicious, dark buckwheats.

Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Anaheim Chili Peppers
Before you automatically label this as an unhealthy recipe, consider that the bacon used is center cut bacon, which is comparable to turkey bacon in fat grams and calories. It is also less processed. The base for the filling is cannellini beans and a little reduced-fat cream cheese and 2% sharp cheddar cheese. Aren't we now talking about something that might be considered semi-healthy, especially if eaten in moderation? Am I trying too hard to sell this recipe? If it appears that way I apologize, because one bite of these bacon-wrapped stuffed anaheim peppers is going to knock your socks off. Now give your dog back his chew toy.
Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Anaheim Peppers
6-8 Anaheim chili peppers
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes in oil (including the oil)
1/2 onions, coarsely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
kosher salt and pepper
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 (15.5 ounce) can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
2 TBSP plus 1 tsp chili powder, divided
3 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup 2% shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 green onions, green parts only, diced
6-8 slices of center cut bacon
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Add chili peppers and boil for 4 minutes. Remove peppers from pot and allow to cool.
In a large skillet add the sundried tomatoes in oil, onion and garlic. Season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes and saute over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or just until onions start to soften. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray rack (I used my cooling rack) with cooking spray and place on baking sheet.
In bowl of food processor fitted with metal blade pour the sundried tomato and onion mixture. Pulse until finely minced. Add the cannellini beans, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano and 1 tsp of the chili powder. Process until smooth. Add the cream cheese and process until smooth. Remove mixture to a small bowl and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Set aside.
Take each chili pepper and carefully make a slit from the top of the pepper almost to the bottom point. Remove seeds. (I just rinsed the peppers under running water and they came out nicely.)
Place the brown sugar, the remaining chili powder and the cayenne pepper in a pie pan or other shallow dish. Whisk well to combine. Set aside.
Take each prepared chili and stuff with 2-3 tablespoons of bean and cheese mixture, depending on the size of the pepper. Wrap the pepper with the bacon, starting the bacon on the side opposite the stuffing slit and ending on the same side. Roll the bacon wrapped pepper in the brown sugar mixture and place the pepper, stuffing side up, on the prepared baking rack. The ends of the bacon should now be on the bottom of the pepper, thus eliminating the need to use toothpicks to hold the bacon to the pepper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crispy and pepper is tender.

The "Honor a Hero, Hire a Vet" Job Fair at the Concord Hilton Hotel was a beehive of activity with more than 500 military veterans circling 60 potential employers and 23 resource agencies.
California has the largest number of veterans in the nation. Although, by law, the fair was open to civilians, the Oct. 31 event was a tactical veterans-into-jobs operation, from start to finish.
Before the employment-seeking veterans entered the ballroom, participating employers listened to half-time-worthy pep talks from Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, and Cmdr. Julie Mitchell of the U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area.
Miller has a legislative track record supporting bills aimed at providing vets and their families with education and job benefits. He was a leading proponent of the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill passed in 2008 and amended in 2009.
"I'm here as a cheerleader," he said. "We're excited about the tax credit incentive to put these well-trained individuals to work."
Employment Development Department Chief Diane Ferrari explained that a Dec. 31 deadline loomed for the tax break.
"It's up to $9,600 for hiring a vet," she said. "Please hire a veteran today!"
Mitchell shared a personal perspective on the impact of academic and employment resources aimed at veterans.
"I've been on active duty or serving as a reservist for 24 years. I have a 20-year old daughter who's transferring to San Francisco State University with the help of the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill. We couldn't have afforded that, without this bill," she said, receiving a burst of applause.
In an interview following her public comments, Mitchell said that in addition to allowing veterans to transfer benefits to their children, the bill also helps employers with retraining costs.
"Vets bring unique skills and a core respect for duty," she said. "They adapt quickly and if they are like me, with retirement benefits they collect, they're not looking for a high-stress, million-dollar job."
As a female job seeker, Mitchell finds the biggest obstacle is a perception that she is overqualified.
"They say, "You're a commander ... and you're a woman!' They're surprised, because in the corporate world, women don't often stay long enough to rise to this level."
Learning to "speak civilian" is another challenge Mitchell shares with her fellow veterans. Trained to avoid bragging and to speak in "we" instead of "I," she said veterans need coaching to stand out in today's workforce.
Armed with resumes and references, a flood of civilian-suited veterans took to the job fair floor or attended workshops on job search methodology and networking.
Josh McKay, a 36-year old Antioch resident who is waiting to hear about a possible job, chose to hedge his bets and attend. He was accompanied by Elise Amaya, a field representative for Miller who is assisting his application process.
"I'm 40 percent disabled, after I broke my ankle during a fire fight in Afghanistan," McKay explained. "They're helping expedite my paperwork. I know I can do the job, but there's a lot involved."
Shawn Hansen, EDD's local veteran representative, agreed.
"Veterans don't know about our One Stop Career centers. But even when they do find out, we don't want to ask for help. There's a military machismo to want to do it on our own."
Hansen, slipping instinctively into "we" speak, was in the U.S. Marine Corps and stationed in Oahu during the 1990s. Like others at the event, he said veterans are good at making long-term commitments and military life prepares them for jobs requiring multiple skills, but they lack the language to promote themselves.
Richard DeGraffenreid, representing wholesale distributor Platt Electrical Supply, said the 111 branches of his company have collectively hired more than 200 veterans during the last two years.
"They know about consequences, so they show up on time and have mutual core values with our company," he said.
Norene Marinelli, an officer with the San Jose Police Department for 15 years, said her employer was specifically interested in hiring female veterans.
"They're in shape, educated, accustomed to jobs with physical contact and used to working with men," she said. "Plus, women are better communicators, calmer -- without the big egos that can stir up trouble when dealing with drug-addicted people."
Sarah LaCasse, of Vacaville, was back in the United States after a tour in Korea and a seven-month deployment in Bagram, Afghanistan.
"I learned a lot of responsibility," she said, about her experience. "I suppose I'd tell an employer that I've supervised people in high-stress environments."
Her friend Michelle Jacobs, a reservist also separating from the military and seeking a job, said the excellent training she received while in the reserve allowed her to feel confident and supported. Now, competing for jobs with civilians, she confessed to being less certain.
That is, until DHL Express human resource agent Tosha Owens responded enthusiastically to her resume.
"This job fair is just what we need," she said to LaCasse, who jotted down Owens' instructions for completing an online application.
Veterans, civilians and employers can receive more information by contacting the state of California Employment Development Department at www.edd.ca.gov.

STOCKTON - Police officers were kept busy Tuesday evening responding to a number of robberies in different parts of the city, including one involving a gun, authorities said. No one was injured in any of the robberies, and different suspects were described in each case, police said.
Officers responded to a report of a robbery at a business in the 1600 block of East Hammer Lane just east of West Lane at 5:43 p.m., authorities said. A man entered the business, ordered employees into a back room and took money from the cash register before fleeing, police said. He was described as a white man about 25 years old standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, police said.
Just over an hour later on the Miracle Mile near Pacific Avenue and West Maple Street, a woman walking in the area had her purse ripped from her arm, officers said. The robber was described as a black man 18 to 22 years old standing 6 feet tall and weighing 140 pounds with a black beanie, a gray shirt and blue jeans, police said. He fled to a waiting vehicle that was last seen heading south on Commerce Street, authorities said.
Farther up Pacific, just south of West Swain Road, two men in their 20s entered a business at 7:39 p.m., police said. One was carrying a firearm, officers said. The men forced employees to the ground and demanded money before fleeing south from the business, authorities said.

Here is the other pumpkin bread I am featuring during October at the bakery. This is a variation of the lemon currant rolls made with a sweet pumpkin dough and a filling reminiscent of pumpkin pie. I made a batch for Vegan Mom's Greening Committe meeting and they met with the approval of all in attendance. I have a feeling they will willing volunteer to test any future experimentations.
- 2 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 3/4 c warm water
- 3/4 c firm tofu
- 1 cup pureed pumpkin
- 1/2 c non-hydrogenated margarine (Earth Balance)
- 7 c all purpose flour
- 1/2 c sugar
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 c non-hydrogenated margarine, room temp
- 1 1/4 c brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp soy creamer
- 1 1/2 c icing sugar
1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a large bowl. Set aside to proof.
2. While yeast is proofing, warm soymilk, margarine tofu, and pumpkin gently on stove in a medium saucepan, until margarine is melted. Blend with a hand blender, or in a food processor until smooth.
3. Mix together flour, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold dry ingredients into liquid ingredients.
4. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a ball and place in a bowl greased with margarine. Turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size.
5. Make filling and set aside.
6. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a large rectangle measuring 10"x 36".
7. Spread filling evenly over the dough and roll dough into a long cylinder along the long side (i.e. you will have a 36" cylinder.
8. Cut dough into 12 pieces, measuring 3" each. Place each piece in large muffins tins (you will need two tins).
9. Bake for 18-22 mins, until golden. Cool in tins on racks.
10. In a small saucepan heat soy creamer over med-lo heat. Add icing sugar and spices, stirring until sugar dissolves. Drizzle over slightly warm rolls.

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, March 5, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A business with a long history in Augusta has made a move to a new location, but not everyone is pleased with it.
The Forest Hills Barber Shop moved into a residential zoned neighborhood, and some neighbors are saying there's too much traffic and a giant barber pole out front.
Perry Smith, one of the owners of the shop,says,"My dad opened up in October of 1968, and I came on board in 1970."
Their family-owned barber shop has a lot of history on Wrightsboro Road.
"We just wanted to stay in the area. We've been here 43 years," he said.
Their old place was on the other side of Wrightsboro Road, near the New Life church, until Walmart announced plans to build there.
Owner Herb Smith says, "It was kind of hard to take really."
So, they bought a house on the corner lot of Springview Drive.
"We have done everything we can do to comply with the neighborhood. We've walked the streets, and people have welcomed us here," Perry said.
But some people in the neighborhood aren't so happy with the bustling business on their street. Neighbors called to tip News 12 off to some zoning problems.
"We have complied with everything that zoning has asked us to do," Perry said.
But officials over at planning and zoning tell us that isn't the case. The barber shop is in a residential zone, and owners have been given a seven-day cease and desist notice to get rid of three of the barber chairs. They are only allowed to operate one.
"We're in compliance; we only operate one barber at a time," Perry said.
The city also says they are not allowed to have a parking lot, but the owners say they sent a sketch of the parking plans to the building inspector.
"We drew a drawing of how we was going to do it, with a circular drive with just a pad in the front. And we've been approved," Perry said.
The city says the barber pole out front is another problem. It's considered a sign, which isn't allowed for their zoning.
But, despite the setbacks, the barbers plan to keep doing what they do best.
"Just going by faith, you know, that everything's going to keep working," Herb said.
Planning and zoning officials say they will be sending a soil erosion specialist out there to take a look at what has already been done with the pavement, but barber shop owners say they have gotten good feedback so far from the community, and they're pretty confused by the complaints.

Poor Xanthe, (is that spelled right?) She must be so confused, and judging by her reaction she didn't see his reflection flipping her off. More than anything I'd love to see Slick show some character development, he's had enough happen around him, I think just about anyone would see it as a wake-up call.
Then again, I've seen some supremely THICK people, hell I've been one of the supremely thick people that stare these problems in the face and still think of ways to turn them around into reasons why they shouldn't have to change. Maybe that's Slick's Destiny in the comic, to be the representative of willful ignorance.

I'm guessing she did see something, 'cause she's got some heavy eyebrow action going on there in the last panel.
Then again, guys like Slick are more transparent than they think they are, even without devil shadows doing the double-bird.

I think its safe to say Xanthe clearly saw Kcils...
..at least it seems anyone can see him and there are no restrains for this.
Having said that....if most people have seen him how come nobody has told Slick about his devil shadow! (i know he is much more than just a shadow, im just going for the metaphor). Its been over a year since Slick got bomfed, he should know by now, at least to give him the chance of looking for a solution.

I like the last panel. Xanthe seems confused because she saw Kcils or she's wondering why Slick, who left her to battle a douche horde is suddenly back to this "we're allies" business.
Or he just has her thinking about male allies in general.

There are a
of male characters she should be given the chance to interact with. It's like Tat just honestly doesn't want her to interact with
male character that wouldn't leave her frustrated. Slick, Squig, and Seymour are the only characters she's allowed to really interact with. She's interacted with Gay Guy, like, once, and she seems mildly ok with him but she's never really been given the chance to do so nearly as much as she's been able to interact with The Sexist Trio.
Meanwhile characters like Criminy, Ezekiel, Storytime Zombie, Li'l Evil, Theo, and Tat's self insert are all characters that she'd likely be pretty OK with but never really gets the chance to interact with. She's never really been given the chance to SPEAK to any of them. I feel like it'd be better for her, as a character, to at least be given the chance to speak to any of them at least once, but it's up to Tat to decide whether or not such an idea is meant to be.

Even if she did see his reflection flipping her off, she would still be confused. And maybe a little more frustrated than anything else. I mean, from her POV - this boy keeps sucking up to her, acting friendly towards her, and in general telling her that he's her friend, and she had faith in the idea of him changing and becoming a better person, but then he turns around and acts like he doesn't care about her and in general proves to her that everything she thought about him is wrong, that he isn't to be trusted, and in general that he's a huge dick that reacts violently towards her friends, and then he goes back to being a huge suck-up that wants her approval.
Which must be really frustrating and confusing for her.

This strip isn't exactly proof that Xanthe saw that it was devil-Slick during the public enemy fiasco. There are several things you've got to keep in mind.
Such as the fact that the
time people have ever really noticed the presence of his devil-self is when they
catch glimpse of him in the form of Slick's reflection
. Even though Monique has
Slick's devilized form, she has not once made note of the horns and tail present.
Neither has one of Xanthe's compatriots
. So it's not exactly something anyone really notices. If they do, it's not made clear in any way, shape, or form. But Slick's reflection being his devilized counterpart is a supernatural phenomenon that no one else in Sinfest experiences - no one else has demonic reflections except those who ARE demons - so by all means someone
take note of it and mention it... But at the same time; among the people who noticed it are Squig, who knows Slick sold his soul to the devil and might assume it's
just a result of that
, an anonymous woman who isn't relevant to the story, and Xanthe... and it's not exactly clear if she sees anything suspicious about his reflection acting independently from him, or not.

Well, I know what

I'm thinking that Kclis is really just a metaphor - made manifest for the audience, and not the other characters - representing that part of Slick's persona that still slings to the old ways. His porn habit, the catcalls, the degradation and objectification, and so forth. They are the same person, but one indulges in the sins that the other now outwardly recognizes as bad.
Like in this comic, Xanthe might not be physically seeing the shadow, but after seeing Slick in the crowd that day (presented to us as Kcils), she can see the hypocrisy in his lip service to feminism. I imagine that does feel a bit like being flipped off.
Mr. Chicken wrote:

And this one could be the woman seeing something in his face, the
intention hidden behind a friendly hello. Setting off the creep alarm, something like that.
It still doesn't feel quite right though. Kcils seems too. . . independent of Slick, with his set of physics and mechanics to how he works. Also, it seems a bit
subtle for Tat's style, so I might be probably maybe overthinking it.

WASHINGTON (October 9, 2012)--Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says he has a plan to help people with pre-existing medical conditions get health insurance, but there's a huge catch because to get insured, they would have to be covered in the first place.
For those with a a significant break in health insurance coverage, an insurer still could delve into medical histories and such common conditions as a bad back or high blood pressure could lead to denial.
Compared with Romney's approach, President Barack Obama's health care law guarantees that people in poor health can get coverage at the same rates everybody else pays, and it provides financial help for low- to middle-income households.
The law says that, starting Jan. 1, 2014, an insurer "may not impose any pre-existing condition exclusion."

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A cold drink and a good game of golf can keep anyone in their seats.
"They have such a good time relaxing here, they forget about going to watch the best game of golf that there is," said Steve Parry, owner of the 1018 Club.
He runs a paradise right in the heart of National Hills.
And his Southern hospitality is turned all the way up to the max.
"We feel a lot of character, we want anyone who comes here to know they're just not at a place to sit at a rented table and to sit at a rented bar and have a bite to eat and drink," he told News 12.
Guests come from all over looking for a new experience.
Here, you'll find three meals a day, over 20 flat-screen TVs and the list goes on and on.
"They feel like they're a member of a nice country club," Parry said.
With over a dozen hospitality houses sitting not even a mile from Augusta National, places like the 1018 Club are trying to hit a hole-in-one with their guests.
Over the past few years, business has been slow for Parry, but this year, he is expecting a lot more.
"We have a lot of new people and new companies that have never been here to enjoy it," he said.
Along with all of the normal faces, who have made the 1018 Club what it is today.
"To watch the excitement and the great time people are having, watching the game of golf down the street and then coming here to relax in a beautiful setting," he said.
That makes his job that much more rewarding.
