Candidates for Marietta City Council and treasurer made their cases to voters Tuesday during live televised debates on the campus of Marietta College.
Five candidates for council's three at-large seats stated their positions on issues ranging from the Armory renovation project to the proposed revitalization district in the downtown and Harmar areas.
A question submitted by a citizen asked how closely the candidates have been following the meetings of groups trying to resurrect the 99-year-old former National Guard Armory on Front Street.

Marietta City Council at-large candidates, from left, Michael Boersma, Kathy Downer, Harley Noland, Michael Mullen and Jon Grimm take part in Tuesday's live, televised debate in the TV studio at Marietta College.
Incumbent independent Councilman Michael Mullen said he'd been involved for years and looked forward to a ribbon-cutting "in the very near future."
"I guess it's one of those projects that really says great things about how our city works," he said, referring to the money raised by citizen groups to draw down matching funds for state and federal grants for the renovation.
Republican candidate Michael Boersma said he wants to see the Armory project completed but questioned Mullen's optimism over the timeframe.

The debates were sponsored by the Marietta/Washington County League of Women Voters, The Marietta Times and WTAP.
"It doesn't seem like it's going to be anytime soon ... and that's disheartening," he said.
Fellow Republican Jon Grimm said he believes restoring the Armory is important, but had his own reservations about the situation.
"I believe to this point we have not established a way for the Armory to sustain itself," he said.
The project has had delays and a plan to use historic tax credits had to be scrapped, but Councilman Harley Noland, D-at large, said a great deal of progress has been made in the last year, including replacing the roof and making the building watertight again.
"There is a business plan for the first floor (in which) cash flows," he said. "We have spent a fantastic amount of money in the past year through grants, not through the city treasury."
Current plans call for the first floor to include space for WASCO Inc., a bus ticket office, a welcome center and more.
Democrat Kathy Downer said it takes time to make progress on such a project, but "I think it is a wonderful addition and tribute to the veterans of Washington County."
The candidates also differed in their responses over how they would vote on a proposed revitalization district that would allow as many as 15 liquor licenses in an approximately 120-acre area encompassing downtown and a portion of Harmar. It is expected to be voted on before the end of the year.
"We have to look at it carefully before this is passed and make sure it doesn't dilute the liquor licenses already (in place)," Downer said.
Noland, who owns the building that houses the Levee House restaurant, said the additional licenses would dilute that value.
"Approximately a million dollars will be vaporized in downtown Marietta," he said. "I don't believe this is the best method."
Grimm said he would vote yes for the district.
"The fact that liquor licenses have become an economy of themselves (shows) this is an area that has been over-regulated," he said.
Mullen, who also owns a downtown business with a liquor license, said he would support the district.
"I think that we need to make every tool available to encourage development downtown," he said.
Boersma said increasing the number of restaurants downtown could boost competition and result in better products.
In the first debate of the evening, city council president candidates Kevin Paskawych, a Democrat, and Josh Schlicher, a Republican, both said they favor the district.
"But I want to look at the size of the district. There is some concern, I know, from local businesses, from local residents of the number of liquor licenses," Paskawych said.
Schlicher called the zone a "door-opener."
"We need all we can do to improve downtown business environments," he said.
Schlicher touted his experience, having served a year as an at-large council member and eight years on the city traffic commission. Paskawych said he's been working with current council President Walt Brothers, other council members and Mayor Joe Matthews to learn the ropes.
The only other contested council race is in the 2nd Ward, between Democratic incumbent Mike McCauley and Republican challenger James "Chip" Wilson. The two found themselves in agreement on parking enforcement downtown and historic preservation, but not on the city's recent adoption of the 2012 version of the International Property Maintenance Code.
"I would suggest that the council repeal the property maintenance code," Wilson said, adding that it "has huge conflicts with Ohio's building code."
McCauley said concerns about the code have been overstated and the city simply updated to the latest version after using the code since the late '90s. The county also uses the 2012 version and it "does all of the building permits, all of the enforcement and inspections" for the city, he said.
The final debate of the evening was between city treasurer candidates Cathy Harper, a Republican, and Willa O'Neill, a Democrat.
Harper pointed to her experience as a four-term City Council member and coordinator of the Right Path for Washington County, as well as her time spent with retiring Treasurer Valerie Holley and her staff as reasons people should vote for her. O'Neill touted her 31 years in the public sector, including 25 with the Ohio Department of Transportation. She noted she has spent time meeting with Holley and visiting treasurers and municipal income tax officials around the state to learn about best practices.
Both women agreed state code only provides so much latitude in doing the treasurer's job. Asked how they would maximize return on investments with low interest rates, Harper said there were limitations since the city must invest locally. O'Neill pointed out that the city's investments could be placed with any bank in the state, but said she would prefer using local ones when the rates are right.
Contacted after the meeting, Holley said money can be invested with any bank in the state, although she's usually found local banks to give the best rates. The city is limited to local banks when going out for bid on services like its checking accounts.

In order to improve the versatility and flexibility of its excavators, Volvo is introducing a new range of excavator attachments that are designed to perfectly match the technical and performance characteristics of Volvo machines. The range includes general-purpose and heavy-duty buckets for large excavators , a new line of hydraulic breakers for compact excavators, as well as attachments for German-speaking markets.
Volvo general-purpose and heavy-duty buckets for large excavators
No other bucket in the market is better suited to perform seamlessly with Volvo's larger excavators than one from its new general-purpose and heavy-duty bucket ranges. Optimized for ground penetration and formed in high-tensile steel with wear plates for durability, these buckets are able to take on a wide range of jobs, applications and materials — from soft soil to shot rock. A new profile for the roof structure provides greater strength and durability.
The general-purpose range is ideal for digging and rehandling soft to medium materials — including dirt, loam, sand or loose clay (with limited rock content) to a material density of up to 1,800 kg/m3 — and comes in several direct-fit or quick coupler interfaces. They provide higher penetration force and improved geometry, offering better fill factor and material release. The heavy-duty buckets suit mining or quarrying applications and are ideal for digging in compact materials like loose or blasted rock – or hard-packed clay and gravel at a maximum material density of up to 2,100 kg/m3. They are optimized to resist the rigors of the toughest applications. A reinforced roof structure and wear strips cover more than 80% of the bottom area, and side-wear plates cover 50% of the sides — increasing wear life over general purpose buckets.
HB-Series hydraulic breakers for compact excavators
Volvo CE's HB-Series hydraulic breakers for utility equipment are optimized to the specific weights of Volvo machines and tailored to Volvo quick couplers for swift, safe and simple attachment changes. Volvo CE's HB02 to HB08 series of hydraulic breakers for compact machines under 10 tonnes range in operating weight from 129 (114) kg to 577 (510) kg and are durable enough for a wide range of applications, while providing consistent impact frequency and power for greater productivity.
Volvo's new breakers are equipped with a cushion damper to reduce noise and vibration through the machine, for greater operator comfort and safety and less damage to the boom and arm. The HB08 can be adapted to suit the application using dual-speed control, while the HB07 and HB08 have anti-blank firing to prevent them from continuing to strike once the material has been completely penetrated
The versatile breaker range can also be adapted to any application with a variety of tools, including moils, chisels, compacting plates, blunts and spades. The new breakers can be purchased in a comprehensive all-in-one package, including hydraulic hoses, hydraulic quick couplings (in EMEA), breaker bracket and breaker tools, so they can go to work right away.
Attachments for compact excavators in German-speaking markets
To fit with Lehnhoff quick couplers on compact machines, Volvo has designed a full range of buckets and attachments for customers in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. These buckets and attachments are a perfect fit with old and current Volvo compact excavators. The line includes:
All Volvo attachments are backed by Volvo CE's extensive service network, for the peace of mind that comes with an extensive, worldwide infrastructure of technicians, workshops and dealers.

OAKLAND -- Any thoughts coach Dennis Allen had of going back to quarterback Terrelle Pryor were erased by a strong second half by Matt McGloin in a 23-19 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at O.co Coliseum.
McGloin was 11 of 15 for 155 yards after halftime and threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Marcel Reece with 6:10 left in the fourth quarter to put the Raiders in front, only to have the defense give up the lead and the game with 10 seconds left to play.
Allen said McGloin will remain the starter when the Raiders visit the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.
"I thought Matt played well," Allen said. "He got us the touchdown we needed to give us the lead. We just couldn't hold it defensively."
Pryor was active but did not play, with backup Tyler Wilson inactive. The Raiders ran two plays out of the wildcat formation, but with fullback Reece taking the snap and not Pryor.
McGloin was 8 of 17 for 105 yards in the first half and threw an interception to linebacker Zach Brown on a pass intended for Reece.
"We just couldn't get anything going early on," McGloin said. "You're going to have days like that, and unfortunately that was one of those days today. I thought we did a good job adjusting at halftime and it was great to see we were able to make those changes and get better in the second half."
McGloin had four passes batted down at the line of scrimmage, all in the first half, and credited the Titans with laying back on their rush and timing the passes correctly.
"It happens to everybody," McGloin said. "I don't think I had any passes batted down last week."
McGloin exchanged greetings with Titans coach and fellow Scranton, Pa., native Mike Munchak after the game.
"I thought he managed the game very well for them," Munchak said. "He put them in position to win."
Munchak, who said his father and McGloin's father met in Scranton on Friday night, will get a trophy made by locals which features a small bell.
"Now my dad will have bragging rights at the diner tomorrow morning," Munchak said.
He was wide left from 32 yards on the final play in the first half after the Raiders set up the attempt with a blocked punt. He then missed from 48 yards in the third quarter. With four conversions, Janikowski is 15 of 22 for the season -- as many field goals as he missed in the 2011 and 2012 seasons combined (62 of 69).
More alarming, Janikowski is 11 of 15 on field goal attempts of less 50 yards after hitting 49 of 50 the previous two seasons.
The Raiders signed Janikowski to a four-year contract extension during training camp that could be worth as much as $19 million.
"I'd say it's a field goal unit problem. There are 11 guys out there, it's not all on one guy," Allen said. "The goal is to get the ball through the uprights and there are 11 guys who are responsible to make sure that happens."
Even one of the kicks Janikowski, made, from 48 yards, was a low line drive that somehow traveled over the crossbar and between the uprights.
Janikowski, who has missed six times from the left hash and one from the right, was not available for comment after the game.
Both will have to go through concussion protocol on a short week as the Raiders play Thursday in Dallas. Linebacker Kevin Burnett (thigh contusion) did not finish.

Phil Mickelson and Mark O'Meara don't see each other much anymore.
O'Meara, 56, has moved on to the Champions Tour, while Mickelson, 42, remains a force on the PGA Tour.
But they do get together each year at the annual champions dinner preceding the Masters. Perhaps that is where they have been sharing secrets on how to dominate on the Monterey Peninsula.
This week, Mickelson will attempt to tie O'Meara's record of five victories at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
"Mark's a wonderful person and player," Mickelson said in a recent interview, "but I'm going to try and match his record."
Last year's victory gave Mickelson four Pebble titles, moving him past Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus for second on the all-time list.
This year he arrives with momentum. In the first round at Phoenix last week, he flirted with shooting a 59 before his putt on the 18th lipped out, leaving him with a 60. He shot 28-under par to win the tournament by four strokes.
He now seems poised to repeat at Pebble and catch O'Meara. And if history is any indicator, he will do it in much the same way as O'Meara: by starting fast, putting well and not letting less-than-ideal conditions derail him.
Mickelson earned his first Pebble Beach victory in 1998 at 28. He showed his perseverance by simply showing up for the final round, which was held more than six months after the tournament began because of a weather delay.
After friends alerted him on the 18th tee that he was tied with Tom Pernice Jr. for the lead, Mickelson didn't hesitate, smashing a perfect drive and hitting a 2-iron to within 30 feet. He two-putted for a birdie to defeat Pernice by one.
In 2005, Mickelson's pedal-to-the-metal approach again paid off. He broke away with a first-round, course-record-tying 62 at Spyglass Hill and cruised to a four-stroke, wire-to-wire win.
Two years later, he again was a wire-to-wire winner with a first-round 65 and a final-round 66. In winning by five strokes, he also finished the tournament ranked No. 1 in putts per round and greens in regulation.
Last year, Mickelson started the final round six strokes behind Charlie Wi, but he carded a 64 to win by two. Fueling the Sunday surge was a 30-foot, par-saving putt on No 12 and a 38-footer for par on No. 15.
Again, Mickelson finished the week ranked No. 1 in strokes gained putting, which in a nutshell shows who was the most efficient putter.
"Early in my career, I didn't do well at Pebble Beach," Mickelson said. "As I got older, maybe I got more aggressive with my short irons. Or I got more patience. But I've been able to play pretty well on the Monterey Peninsula."

Power to the (country) people
April 8, 2013
"People in Washington don't quite understand our values," U.S. Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., said last week in Wellsburg....
...and why keep bringing up the "clinging to their guns and religion" comment? It is a true statement as evidenced by the current gun law debate.

What have I missed? I mean it was not long ago that many on the N&S blogs were saying that the Feds were a bad thing and that federal dollars were just hand outs. I'm confused now...is there or is there not a place for government?

Suttle has a point: the cities, suburbs, & exurbs have the power b/c they have the people.
But I would hope we don't elect our representatives simply to bring home as many Federal dollars as possible. Sen. Byrd's best moments weren't when he got us all those highways, the FBI fingerprint center, the new Green Bank radiotelescope, etc. -- nice as they are. His higher calling showed when he stood up for Constitutional government (against the "Unitary Executive". Such as the power of Congress, not the President, to declare war).
I hope we expect our elected officials to bring us good government, not just (& even at the expense of) pork-barrel spending.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Rep. McKinley needs to understand the U.S. Constitution. While the House of Representatives represent the number citizens by geographic area, the U.S. Senate gives all states (populated and less populated) an equal vote (2 Senators each). Senator Robert Byrd knew that and as a skillful Senator working the system he enriched West Virginia with millions of Federal dollars. McKinley needs to stop carping and start doing his job for our fellow citizens. If he can't do his job, then maybe the electorate in his district needs to find someone who can.

The problem shouldn't be getting worse, & you're looking at one reason right now. In 1795, rural people didn't have the internet. The internet is a tool, or rather a whole toolbox. But do we know what to do w/ it? Having a saw & a hammer doesn't make you a carpenter, until you learn how to use them. Having the internet doesn't make you either a statesman or a responsible citizen -- but it could.

Remember this, and Myers wrote it himself. If a Democrat from, say, Iowa farm country needs help with a bill, "McKinley, the {Republican} from West Virginia, may want to help him - and remind him of the aid when the {coal industry needs a friend.}

WASHINGTON (January 7, 2013)—The White House confirmed Monday that President Barack Obama will nominate former Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel and counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan to be key players in his second-term national security team.
Hagel is Mr. Obama's choice to be defense secretary, while Brennan is being nominated to lead the CIA.
Freshman U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is among the lawmakers on both sides of the aisle with doubts about Hagel, however.
Cruz spoke of Hagel said in his first appearance on "Fox News Sunday" since he was sworn in that his issues with Hagel stem from comments the former Nebraska senator made about Israel.
Hagel was quoted in a book complaining about the influence of the pro-Israel lobby on U.S. lawmakers.
Cruz said Hagel's criticism does not reflect the U.S. security interest in maintaining that alliance.
Cruz is a member of the Senate's Armed Services Committee, which would hold hearings on the nomination.
Mr. Obama is making it clear that he's ready for a tough confirmation fight in the Senate.
Hagel has been accused both of being anti-Israel and soft on Iran, and Brennan has faced questions about his ties to harsh interrogation techniques that were used during the administration of George W. Bush.

WASHINGTON (February 6, 2013)--The GOP-controlled House passed a bill Wednesday intended to call attention to President Barack Obama's failure to submit a balanced budget during his years in office.
Democrats called the legislation a political gimmick, and it's sure to be ignored by the Democrats who control the U.S. Senate, but U.S. Rep. Bill Flores, R-Bryan, pointed out in a statement "for almost four years, the Senate has failed to pass a budget proposal or to attempt to meet our fiscal challenges,"
The "Require Presidential Leadership and No Deficit Act," which would require the president to submit a budget that balances the government's books, passed by a 253-167 vote.
"It is time that the president confronts this issue head on and put forth a budget that will control federal spending," Flores said.
"With passage of the Require a PLAN Act, the president will be held accountable to produce a balanced budget that would ultimately eliminate the deficit," he said.
The legislation tries to draw contrast between Mr. Obama and House Republicans, who recently announced that their upcoming budget blueprint would come to balance within a decade, which marks a shift from the past two years, when Republican budgets had sharp spending cuts but failed to project a balanced budget.

SANTA CLARA -- The Earthquakes' magic disappeared Wednesday night at the worst possible moment in a devastating 3-1 defeat to the Los Angeles Galaxy that ended their MLS Cup playoff run with a decisive blow from their rivals.
The Galaxy unleashed a season's worth of frustration on the Quakes in the second leg of the Western Conference semifinals in front of a sold-out crowd of 10,744 at Buck Shaw Stadium. Los Angeles won the playoff series 3-2 in aggregate goals after the Quakes had scored a 1-0 victory in Carson on Sunday.
It came crashing to a halt for San Jose, the regular-season champion with a 19-6-9 record which entered the playoffs with some of its top players hurting.
Striker Steven Lenhart revealed Wednesday night that he suffered a torn meniscus two weeks ago and needs postseason surgery.
Stalwart defender Victor Bernardez had to leave the game in the 12th minute with a right knee strain. He suffered the injury in the first leg of the series on the night he scored the game winner in the 94th minute.
"We weren't going to make excuses going into this, and we won't make excuses now," said striker Alan Gordon, another star who was playing on fumes with an ankle sprain.
Despite the sudden end to club's best regular-season in history the Quakes players didn't give up. Gordon scored on a volley in the 82nd minute and Ike Opara -- Bernardez' replacement -- almost got the equalizer in second-half stoppage time.
"We showed character all season," Lenhart said. "We even showed it tonight."
San Jose's usually trusty defensive line came unglued after Bernardez's departure by allowing three first-half goals, including two to Robbie Keane.
Los Angeles ended the Quakes' 18-game winning streak at Buck Shaw that dated to August 2011.
The Quakes had owned Los Angeles this season with a 3-0-1 record in the California Classico. But in the one that mattered, the Galaxy dominated the Supporters' Shield winners.
"We've been the best team in the league since July," L.A. coach Bruce Arena said. "I'm glad nobody noticed."
The rest of the league did Wednesday as the reigning MLS champions advanced to the Western Conference finals against the winner of the Real Salt Lake-Seattle Sounders series that ends Thursday night.
Arena said Keane has been the league's best player since the European Championships this summer, and the Irish international star showed why Wednesday. He scored the series' tying goal in the 21st minute as he dribbled unmarked into an advantageous area after receiving the ball from Mike Magee. Keane hit the left side of the post, and the ball ricocheted into the back of the net.
The Galaxy's kismet had turned considering Keane hit the crossbar in the 85th minute in the first leg of the series.
Keane struck again in the 34th minute after the Quakes' Chris Wondolowski booted an open shot over the net, and Lenhart headed another good chance just wide left.
The striker took a pass from Landon Donovan on a counter attack to give Los Angeles the series' lead. Donovan again served a good ball after sneaking past Simon Dawkins in the 39th minute that Magee buried into the net.
A team that scored a league-leading 72 goals in the regular season didn't convert its chances Wednesday. Wondolowski, who tied the single season record with 27 goals in the regular season, said he missed three.
On this night the Quakes couldn't live up to their motto "Goonies Never Die."
But they left the field to a standing ovation from their devoted fans.
"We're building something," Lenhart said.

Those in favor say you'll pay fewer taxes. Opponents say it will hurt South Carolina's schools. On Monday, an Aiken County group announced they support a plan to change how you pay taxes. News 12 is on your side with what this change could mean to you.
Christmas shopping could get more expensive in South Carolina. State lawmakers are working on a plan to cut property taxes in half. The catch? Sales taxes would increase two percent, costing South Carolinians an extra $200-$3,000 more at the stores.
The idea appeals to many of Aiken's retirees on a fixed income, like Mary Ann Rogers.
"Then everybody will be paying the same kind of tax," Mary Ann Rogers said.
The Aiken County Tax Payers Association announced they support the idea. Vicki Simons leads the group.
"People are concerned about not being able to pay for their property taxes. They could be literally forced out of their homes through an inability to pay," Simons said.
But many educators don't like the shift.
"We've got a lot of concerns about it," said Brock Heron.
Brock Heron is the Aiken County School District Comptroller. His problem: Property taxes are stable, sales taxes aren't.
"A downturn in the economy could actually hurt the sales and we wouldn't receive as much income," Heron said.
But Simons believes we can count on sales taxes.
"Retail sales had increased pretty steadily over the last ten years," Simons said.
Some worry a higher sales tax might send shoppers in Aiken County right across the border to Georgia, but the increase may not make such a difference. We're only talking about a penny. The sales tax would be 8 cents in South Carolina, and it's already 7 cents Augusta.
The details of this tax shift are still being debated. But expect to hear more, it's being called the King Kong issue of the 2006 legislature.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- After deliberating for almost two hours, the jury has come back with a guilty verdict on all counts for the 19-year-old involved in a 2010 crime spree.
Hector Torres, who was convicted for his role in the murder of 56-year-old Carl Bush, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on the two murder counts. He will serve five life sentences for the remaining counts, including kidnapping and rape, which comes to more than 100 years consecutively.
Torres' accomplices, Hamlet Perdomo and Michael Rewis, are currently in jail awaiting their trials.
Deputies say the trio went on a crime spree involving multiple victims in September 2010. It started with a shooting incident on Telfair Street, then the murder of Bush on Reynolds Street. From there, the three men allegedly robbed two people at gunpoint on Tubman Home Road and then a man and his girlfriend on Fenwick Street. Investigators say they then abducted and sexually assaulted the woman.

MARIETTA - When Jenny Radabaugh contacted EVE Inc. about participating in the "Lunchbox Love" program to provide lunchboxes for children in EVE programs, she was surprised by what she learned.
"I had no idea how many children they served here, and I was flabbergasted when she told me it was over 100," said Radabaugh, a consultant for Initial Outfitters, a direct sales, home party business.
Now, Radabaugh's looking for sponsors to pay $20 to cover a colorful, insulated lunchbox, shipping, tax and goodies to be stuffed inside. They will be given to youngsters staying at EVE's shelter and participating in its childrens group, but the benefits don't end in Washington County.

Initial Outfitters consultant Jenny Radabaugh, left, and EVE Inc. children's program coordinator Patricia Schaad look over a selection of lunchboxes from Charlie's Lunch, an evangelical ministry providing food to children in poor areas around the world. Radabaugh is seeking sponsors to buy lunchboxes for children served by EVE.

Radabaugh and Schaad look over some of the lunchboxes collected.
"Not only will these children get the lunchboxes, which helps people right here in our community, but ... 100 percent of the profits are used to fund new and existing Charlie's Lunchrooms," Radabaugh said.
Charlie's Lunch is an evangelical Christian ministry that provides food to children in need in under-developed communities. Initial Outfitters sponsors a dozen Charlie's Lunchrooms in Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Zambia and India, as well as the Charlie's Lunch Orphanage. The lunchrooms partner with local churches to provide food and Bible study in honor of Charlie Stewart, a boy born with a serious heart defect whose generosity of spirit inspired his parents to start the ministry, according to www.charlieslunch.com.
When Patricia Schaad, children's program coordinator for EVE, heard Radabaugh's proposal, she liked the idea.
Fact Box
How To Contribute
* A $20 donation covers the cost of the lunchbox and graphic, shipping, tax and items to put in the lunchbox.
* People can participate by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com or by calling 373-7340 or 374-5280.
* Sponsorships need to be received by Saturday, Jan. 26, so orders can be placed in time to deliver the items by Valentine's Day.
"I was very excited, because a lot of times we do have parents, they don't have the means to go out and get their kids the nice lunchboxes," she said.
The EVE shelter has played host to children from birth to 18 who have been affected by domestic violence, Schaad said. Even after they leave the shelter, they often come back as part of the kids group, which provides educational programming and craft time.
Receiving something like one of the lunchboxes is "like another Christmas for them," Schaad said.
"They are so excited when they get things. And it can be the smallest thing," she said. "Anytime that you can make them feel special turns that light on in a child's eyes."
Radabaugh wants to raise money for at least 100 lunchboxes. She sent fliers to local businesses and also posted about the program on Facebook. Anyone who wants to participate can contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com or 373-7340 in the evenings or Schaad at firstname.lastname@example.com or 374-5820.
Radabaugh is asking for sponsors by Jan. 26 so the lunchboxes can be distributed for Valentine's Day.

Revis' agents, Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, said the cornerback gets $12 million this year with a $20 million team option for 2015, according to the National Football Post. He received a $10 million signing bonus and $11.5 million overall is guaranteed. That includes a $1.5 million guaranteed base salary for this year.
---The Seattle Seahawks re-signed kicker Steven Hauschka to a three-year, $9.1 million contract.
The deal includes $3.3 million in guaranteed money, according to ESPN.com. His contract makes him one of the top 10-paid kickers in the NFL.
---The New Orleans Saints re-signed offensive tackle Zach Strief to a five-year contract.
Strief, 30, allowed just three sacks in 15 starts last year. Pro Football Focus ranked him the top right tackle in the NFL.
---The San Diego Chargers re-signed wide receiver Seyi Ajirotutu to a one-year contract.
Ajirotutu led the Chargers in special teams tackles in 14 games last season and caught a game-winning touchdown pass against the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 24. He had three catches for 64 yards overall.
---The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a one-year deal with safety Nate Allen. In 16 starts last year, Allen had 82 tackles, five pass breakups, a sack, a forced fumble and an interception.
---The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed safety Taylor Mays. Mays was limited to eight games (one start) last year before going on injured reserve with a season-ending shoulder dislocation on Oct. 20. He had 12 tackles, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 2013.
---The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed veteran offensive lineman Guy Whimper to a one-year contract.
Whimper, a versatile backup, played 11 games in 2013. He played 270 snaps at four different positions.

Well, I love it. Exactly what I've been looking for. I'm using GMX's SMS service, and previously I always had to log in at their web site, see all the stupid ads and click three or four times before I could actually type a message. This widget even uses my phone number (registered with GMX's service) as sender.
Thank you Frank!!!
The mobile number feature is no big issue for me as I always use QuickSilver for number / email address retrieval anyway.
«not that great» is the address book integration:
Simsen just chooses the first mobile number entry including the desired name -- which might be totally wrong, so check that number, baby!
But apart from that, it is good, remembering the last (5 or so) recipients used.
Not that great but still the only way to send text messages through GMX on the mac.

Candy Corn Sugar Cookies (Treats For Co-Irkers)
These candy corn cookies taste nothing like candy corn, but in the spirit of the upcoming Halloween holiday, I thought I'd spend three times the amount of time I'd normally spend making regular sugar cookies and make something festive for the season. After all, they ARE for the co-irkers.
Candy Corn Sugar Cookies (from Betty Crocker's Fall Baking)
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 large egg
Grated zest of one medium orange (1-2 TBSP)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/8 tsp orange gel food coloring
1/8 tsp yellow gel food coloring
Coarse sugar to decorate
In large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, egg and orange zest with electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar.
Divide dough into thirds. Tint one portion orange, one portion yellow, and leave the third portion plain. Flatten each portion into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
On separate sheets of lightly floured wax paper, roll each portion of dough into 12X9 inch rectangles. Place orange rectangle on top of yellow rectangle, using waxed paper ends to help flip dough over. Top with plain dough rectangle. Starting on a long side, and using waxed paper as an aid, roll dough into a cylinder. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut dough into 1/4 inch slices. On ungreased cookie sheet, place slices about one inch apart. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 7-8 minutes or until edges are set. Cool one minute before removing from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

Adorable cookies Mags! Holy cow...what a lot of work. (I'm not into candy corn either. Candy = chocolate and/or caramel)
- October 15, 2010 at 9:50 AM
how fun!
on a totally different topic: Luis read an article that said we could save money if I started making our own bread with a bread machine. oooookaaaayyyy. Like that $2.50 or so a week is really killing us. I do like baking up a nice loaf of bread from frozen Rhodes dough, but I wonder: can I freeze homemade bread dough and use it like the Rhodes stuff? Would I freeze it after the first rising? I could possibly be talked into making my own bread if I didn't have to plan a whole day to babysit the process. A half day, maybe. :)
p.s. my verification word was: whauf --I had to do a double take! lol

I LOVE these! I only use the candy corn to make vampire teeth to make Dudette laugh. I do like to have one of the Halloween pumpkin candy corns though. Just one satisfies for the whole year. I'm making these cookies. They look fantastic.

Candy corn is MY secret fall vice, too! =) And I completely agree about the brand - it makes all of the difference. These look so great!

I love these...they are perfect seasonal treats!
I really have only one question...how to I become a Co-Irker?!
- October 15, 2010 at 2:16 PM
- Co Irker said...
First off: May I tell you how much I love this photo? The composition and color are spot on.
Now let's get down to the nitty gritty or the sugar cookie. They were adorable, they were festive, and best of all they were dang tasty. I had to hide one for a co-irker that came a little late (I swear it was for her!) because they went fast.
The time and effort are much appreciated at the hubs work. And we office girls are petitioning to have your birthday recognized as a work holiday.
Sorry everyone but we currently are not accepting applications.
Thanks again our corny, comfort food conjuring cream puff.

These are so delicious looking, Mags, and I've been jealous of your co-irkers for quite a while now. I'm definitely going to try these, but - don't tell! - I'm going to see if I can sneak some actual candy corn into mine. Heathy or not, I adore the stuff!

Highlights from the Supreme Court's Campaign-Finance Ruling
The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down aggregate limits on political contributions, concluding in a 5-4 ruling that the goal of fighting corruption doesn't justify the burden on First Amendment rights imposed by such restrictions.
Here are highlights from the majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts.
The ruling in a nutshell (page 3):
The Government contends that the aggregate limits also serve that objective, by preventing circumvention of the base limits. We conclude, however, that the aggregate limits do little, if anything, to address that concern, while seriously restricting participation in the democratic process. The aggregate limits are therefore invalid under the First Amendment.
The broader goal (page 2):
In a series of cases over the past 40 years, we have spelled out how to draw the constitutional line between the permissible goal of avoiding corruption in the political process and the impermissible desire simply to limit political speech. We have said that government regulation may not target the general gratitude a candidate may feel toward those who support him or his allies, or the political access such support may afford. They embody a central feature of democracy—that constituents support candidates who share their beliefs and interests, and candidates who are elected can be expected to be responsive to those concerns.
Any regulation must instead target what we have called "quid pro quo" corruption or its appearance.
How aggregate limits curb speech (pages 15-16):
[T]the limits deny the individual all ability to exercise his expressive and associational rights by contributing to someone who will advocate for his policy preferences. A donor must limit the number of candidates he supports, and may have to choose which of several policy concerns he will advance—clear First Amendment harms that the dissent never acknowledges. It is no answer to say that the individual can simply contribute less money to more people. To require one person to contribute at lower levels than others because he wants to support more candidates or causes is to impose a special burden on broader participation in the democratic process….
The First Amendment burden is especially great for individuals who do not have ready access to alternative avenues for supporting their preferred politicians and policies.
Fear of loopholes is overblown (page 25):
On a more basic level, it is hard to believe that a rational actor would engage in such machinations. In the example described, a dedicated donor spent $500,000—donating the full $5,000 to 100 different PACs—to add just $26,000 to Smith's campaign coffers. That same donor, meanwhile, could have spent unlimited funds on independent expenditures on behalf of Smith. Indeed, he could have spent his entire $500,000 advocating for Smith, without the risk that his selected PACs would choose not to give to Smith, or that he would have to share credit with other contributors to the PACs.
Congress, if it wants to, could still impose limits on transfers or require more disclosure (pages 33-35):
Importantly, there are multiple alternatives available to Congress that would serve the Government's anti-circumvention interest, while avoiding "unnecessary abridgment" of First Amendment rights. The most obvious might involve targeted restrictions on transfers among candidates and political committees. There are currently no such limits on transfers among party committees and from candidates to party committees….[D]isclosure of contributions minimizes the potential for abuse of the campaign finance system.
Bottom line (pages 39-40):
Constituents have the right to support candidates who share their views and concerns. Representatives are not to follow constituent orders, but can be expected to be cognizant of and responsive to those concerns. Such responsiveness is key to the very concept of self-governance through elected officials.
The Government has a strong interest, no less critical to our democratic system, in combatting corruption and its appearance. We have, however, held that this interest must be limited to a specific kind of corruption—quid pro quo corruption—in order to ensure that the Government's efforts do not have the effect of restricting the First Amendment right of citizens to choose who shall govern them. For the reasons set forth, we conclude that the aggregate limits on contributions do not further the only governmental interest this Court accepted as legitimate in Buckley. They instead intrude without justification on a citizen's ability to exercise "the most fundamental First Amendment activities."

At Kylie Kelley's daycare, the big kids can get water whenever they need a re-fill."If they run out of water, they come and fill it up, at the door of the fridge and they get their water there," Kylie said.But with any other kind of drink, they need her help. That's why we thought Kylie might want to try the Magic Tap! We found them at Bed Bath & Beyond for $12.99 each.The Magic Tap says it can fit on-top of a variety of containers.After installing two double A batteries, Kylie was ready to test the Magic Tap on a gallon of milk.While placing the automatic drink dispenser on the jug, Kylie accidentally hit the trigger… spilling milk all over her floor. So, we decided to continue the test in the kitchen sink."If you get the cup under there though, it doesn't leak or anything," Kylie said.We tried it next on a Hawaiian Punch container. Kylie dumped a little out so it wouldn't spill-over. But she still had the same problem. Kylie says the trigger is super sensitive.It also worked on our Pink Limeade container and a juice container."You have to be real gentle when you put it on," Kylie said.Would she put this in her fridge for her daycare kids to use?"Yes, if my kids were trained on how to get it. And if I were trained, so I'm not hitting that button when I'm not supposed to," Kylie said.The kids liked the independence and they didn't seem to mind the mess either.Does it Work?"Yes, it works," Kylie said.The Magic Tap instructions say it works best on containers that are a half a gallon or bigger. Also, it's not recommended to use on carbonated beverages, drinks containing pulp, root beer, drinks with 40-percent or more alcohol content, or beverages beyond their expiration date.

Two boys say they were robbed at gunpoint and beaten in a parking lot on Monarch Drive, and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office is seeking their two assailants.
The 16-year-old boys called the office about 2:45 p.m. Sunday and told the dispatcher two masked men attacked and robbed them at 187 Monarch Drive, detectives said.
Both boys had minor injuries, but neither required medical attention, detectives said.
Detectives asked that anyone with information contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433 for a potential reward or the Sheriff's Office at 876-2500.

MOUNTAIN VIEW -- In Silicon Valley, it's not a question of "What have you done for me lately?" -- the question is, "So, what are you going to do for me next?"
And so, you have to wonder what it's like to be best known for something you did 30 years ago.
Randy Wigginton, one of the freewheeling pirates who worked under Steve Jobs on Apple's (AAPL) dent-in-the-world, 1984 Macintosh, has an easy answer.
"It's awesome," says Wigginton, who led the effort on the MacWrite word processor. "People don't get to change the world very often. How much luckier can a guy be? I've had a very blessed life."
The blessings were very much on Wigginton's mind the other day as he and a long list of early Apple employees got together to check out the resurrection of a rare machine known as the Twiggy Mac. The prototype was a key chapter in the development of the original Mac, which of course was a key chapter in the development of the personal computer and by extension the personal music player, the smartphone, the smart tablet and a nearly ubiquitous digital lifestyle that has turned the world on its head.
Some of the key players in that story, first immortalized in Steven Levy's "Insanely Great" and again in Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs" and most recently, docudrama fashion, in the movie "Jobs," gathered at the Computer History Museum to get a look at the Mac and at old friends who'd done so much together.
Sure, their story has been told over and over again. But there is a reason for that and a great good that comes from it. The story is told again and again, because what the Mac team did -- building a computer with a graphic interface, a mouse, never-before-seen software, a look-and-feel that was so easy a child could take it out of the box and get to work -- was remarkable and important. And the good that comes from remembering the Mac and the team that built it is that the Mac was not the first world-changer and it won't be the last.
In Silicon Valley, especially, where so much entrepreneurship seems to be about matching what's already been invented, or turning the screw of innovation just a bit, it's good to seek inspiration; to remember that big changes, meaningful changes, are within our grasp. And it's good to remember that innovation is a team sport; very few paradigm shifts grow out of one individual's vision. So, we should celebrate the teams that have gotten us this far.
Celebrate they did at the computer museum, where more than a dozen Apple alums with badge numbers in the double digits or lower and their friends gathered for an informal and private reunion. It was a hall of fame lineup including Steve Wozniak, Andy Hertzfeld, Daniel Kottke, Chris Espinosa, Guy Kawasaki, Ed Ruder, Don Breuner, Jerry Manock, Terry Oyama, Larry Kenyon, Patti Kenyon, Donn Denman, Rod Holt and Wendell Sander, among others.
They were there ostensibly to check out the Mac prototype revived by Gabreal Franklin, the guy who was president of Encore Systems, the company that developed MacWrite. With the help of a team of his own -- including Canadian computer-collector Adam Goolevitch and Kottke, a man who had a Shakespearean friendship with Jobs in the early days -- Franklin got the Mac running this year.
Yes, there were memories of the machine at the museum, particularly for Wigginton and Hertzfeld when they took turns sitting down at the ancient keyboard.
"It brought back a lot of the happiness and the terror of working on the Macintosh," Wigginton says, remembering his days with Jobs, "because you never knew when Steve was going to be in this horrible mood and say, 'This is terrible,' or when he'd be in a great mood and say, 'This is awesome, it's going to change the world.'"
But the gathering was really more about honoring not only what they had done, but the friendships they had developed over days, weeks and months of trial and error and more trial.
"It's really about all the people here, that I admire and who taught me everything that I know," says Hertzfeld, who recently retired from Google (GOOG). "I love seeing everyone. It's my family, in a way."
And sure, Hertzfeld had thought about the question that I was wondering about: What's it like to be best-known for something you did decades ago?
"You always like to think that the work you're doing is going to be the best work you've ever done," he says. "But after enough time had passed, I saw that, well, the Mac is probably the best thing that I'll ever do. And I can live with that."
It is quite a legacy. And thanks to the Mac team, it's a legacy that the rest of us are living with, too.

Late Middle English: from Latin aggregat- 'herded together', from the verb aggregare, from ad- 'towards' + grex, greg- 'a flock'.
congregate from Late Middle English:
The Latin word for a herd or flock was grex, giving congregare, meaning 'to collect into a herd or flock, to unite'. Gregarious (mid 17th century), meaning 'fond of company', is also descended from grex, as are aggregate (Late Middle English) 'herd together'; egregious (mid 16th century) 'standing out from the herd' and originally complimentary; and segregation (mid 16th century) 'set apart from the herd'.

Former Raiders All-Pro quarterback Rich Gannon calls Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel a "bad fit" for the Raiders. Maybe so, but that hasn't deterred the Raiders from considering Manziel as their quarterback of the future.
Raiders owner Mark Davis, coaches and front-office workers met with Manziel over the weekend at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, according to Sirius radio.
The Raiders own the rights to the No. 5 pick in the NFL draft in May. It's conceivable that Manziel will be available when the Raiders make their initial selection.
The Tweet from Sirius said those in attendance at the Raiders meeting with Manziel came away "very impressed."
Gannon also is impressed by Manziel. He just doesn't think the Raiders are an ideal fit for Manziel, who succeeds in large part because of his ability to keep plays alive with his feet and improvise when plays break down.
"A team has to be ready for a young quarterback," Gannon said in Indianapolis. "I don't think that team is quite ready yet."
Terrelle Pryor's skill set resembles Manziel's in some ways, and Pryor struggled last season in his nine starts.
As of now, Pryor, Matt McGloin and Trent Edwards are the only quarterbacks on the Raiders roster.
Coach Dennis Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie said it's no secret that the Raiders quarterback situation remains unsettled and that finding a solution is a high priority.
Manziel is regarded by some as the top quarterback prospect in this year's draft class. Other intriguing candidates include Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, Central Florida's Blake Bortles, Fresno State's Derek Carr and Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garappolo.
"I really like him," Gannon said of Manziel. " ... My biggest concern is the discipline from a quarterback standpoint. Footwork, sitting in the pocket, going through reads and progressions.
"He has to go somewhere where they have a very disciplined coordinator and quarterback coach, somebody who is really going to grind on him and stay on him for those first couple years as he learns the system. He's a guy who likes to ad lib a lot, and you can't always do that in the NFL."
The Raiders also met with Bridgewater at the scouting combine. Bridgewater said he walked away from the meeting confident that the Raiders liked what they heard and learned.

I apologize because I've seen the issue discussed but I just can't seem to fix it for myself. I'm not a techie by any means and my searching skills have seem to run their course. I've ripped Game of Thrones BRD to my system, extracted the episodes from the .iso in .m2ts format. Trying to get this to stream to the PS3 but if I set the MPEG-2 option as lossless or anything above *Good quality for HD Wifi* it will skip around back and forth in the video. I'm using LPCM for audio (I only have stereo setup anyway). I can watch fine with the quality cranked down.
Here's my setup:
Win 8.1 64-bit
i5-3570K (4 CPUs)
16GB Ram
GeForce GTX 670
I've got a wired connection through a TL-SG10005D as a gigabit switch off of a 2Wire 3801HGV router. My PC says its getting gigabit network speed, not sure how to tell if my PS3 is or not.
MEncoder won't play the video at all (data type not supported). VLC will play video without sound. tsMuxeR will play with sound and music, but without dialogue. FFmpeg is the only option I can find that will work.
Media info: MPEG-2
Debug log:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9n3na ... /debug.zip
So I've tried increasing the java heap size (which I've read might be irrelevant if I have 16GB of RAM), but that didn't seem to help anything. I'm curious what will limit my transcode buffer, even with my java heap increased so I can set the max to 1400MB nothing changed.Tried streaming from my SSD, that didn't work.
Any help is greatly appreciated!! If any more info is needed let me know and I will replay ASAP. If there is simply a way to convert the .m2ts file so I can just stream instead of converting of course I would be happy to do that instead.

Bob Harris wrote: NYC show-thread got locked. Here is my humble review:
We rolled in with the PFA family on the early tip, which was nice. Got to talk to B a little bit, and got to dance with my baby in the wide open beautiful Webster Hall floor to the pre-show mix (which was dope, and the rumor was that was B's playlist? If so -- well done, sir). My two-step is on some next level, if you didn't know.
Free Moral Agents were excellent. I don't know what else to say about it. I very much enjoyed their set.
B. absolutely ripped it. Alias's beats were pummeling in the system, and all the kids in the crowd knew the material to sing along. He opened with "Leaving New York," and it was funny to hear a bunch of kids behind me screaming "Fuck New York!" No shit, kiddies. No shit. Probably the last time I'll scream "Come to Dubai!" that loud. I kind of shocked myself. Also B. poked some fun at a kid in the crowd for wearing "Carlton-from Fresh-Prince-shorts," and when I looked over, it was hard to tell which kid he was talking about. There were mad kids rocking Carlton shorts last night. I thought I had my finger on the pulse here, but I missed out on that little trend. "One Breath Left" is one of the illest closers in the game too.
Sage's set was the best I've ever seen him do. I don't think the significance of the show was lost on anyone in the crowd, or anyone on stage. Maybe a few people in the crowd, but that's not worth discussing. Ha. It went by in a wonderful blur for me, which is how all my favorite shows I've seen have gone. Sage brought B. off the balcony impromptu to rock "House of Bees." which was fucking rad. I go back and forth on who's dance I like more during that song -- but as much as I like Sage's "stir the honey?" dance, you can't really fuck with B's "Bumblebee-Wings" dance. The closing medley of songs were so powerful it was kind of overwhelming. When the first notes of "Best of Times" rang out, I immediately misted up (I'm still thug though) and looked at my baby to kind of laugh it off -- but she was taking these deep breaths to try to stop herself from weeping. Haha. So no help there.
And then, when the song was over, Free Moral Agents let the music ride and Sage hopped into the crowd and literally hugged everyone in Webster Hall. Which I can say, with no exaggeration, was the most beautiful, sweaty end to any show I've ever seen.
I'm still high from it. Not weed high, nahmean? Li(f)e high? I hope for Sage and B it was a satisfying end to the tour, and for Sage touring in general. You never know what kind of New York you're going to get at a show. This felt like a good New York to me. Either way. It's 300 degrees in my apartment right now, and you still couldn't wipe the smile off my face even if you told me they stopped making Sun-Chips.
Love for errbody.

PAINTSVILLE Ky. (WYMT) - The Paintsville Tigers are the next team in our DQ Grill and Chill countdown to tip off series.
We thought the last time we would see head coach Bill Mike Runyon coaching high school basketball was back in the 2008 when he kissed the Rupp Arena floor after Paintsville's loss to Louisville Holmes in the state tournament. But we were wrong! He is back and looking to get the Tigers back to where they belong, atop the 15th region and playing for a state title.
"The thing we want to do though during the regular season and during practice, is we want to get better every day", said coach Runyon. "We want to make sure that we bring to practice every day, enough effort, enough intensity and enough enthusiasm to put us in the position to win the region. The school and the community expects us to win the region. And that is what you work for. You work to play in Rupp Arena. That is how your program is judged."
"Well definitely having everybody back. It's, the expectations are high once again", said senior guard Matt Daniels. "But I think having Coach Runyon back, the expectations are even higher. People expect more out of us from him, so the expectations are overall pretty high."
"In the preseason, you can't really expect people to set you to a high standard", said senior guard Trevor Tiller. But, I think by the end of the year, with the hard work that we are going to put in and what we are going to learn, that we can be the best team in the region."
The Paintsville Tigers are currently 1-0 on the season.

Project Number: 2034-13000-011-38
Start Date: Aug 16, 2013
End Date: Sep 30, 2016
Surface barriers such as extremely low permeability plastic films will be used under field conditions to enhance pest nematode control and reduce fumigant emissions to the air. Soil amendments with natural organic materials such as animal manure or synthetic chemicals will be evaluated alone or in combination with the low permeability films to enhance fumigant decomposition thus reducing emission potential and protect air quality. Application of fumigants with irrigation systems will be tested in comparison with shank injection methods and potential for deep percolation and surface runoff will be evaluated. Impact of soil organic and inorganic amendments on air and water quality will also be measured.
