A few years ago Sun Pix Hearts of Palm appeared in big jars at my Costco, and I was overjoyed. I'd learned to like them while working at a French restaurant in college, but they were expensive in my regular grocery store, so I hadn't ever cooked with them much up to that point. Since then the hearts of palm seem to appear every summer, and I always stock up when I see them. Recently I bought some and made this Hearts of Palm Salad with Tomatoes, Olives, and Feta, definitely one of my favorites on the blog.
Tomatoes, Hearts of Palm, Olives, and Feta
with Basil Vinaigrette
(Makes 2 main dish or 4 side dish servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
4-6 small tomatoes, sliced (or use about 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half)
1 cup hearts of palm, sliced (or more)
1/2 cup black olives
1/4 cup crumbled feta
Ingredients for Basil Puree:
1 cup fresh basil leaves (packed)
1/2 cup olive oil
(Freeze the leftovers for another use. You could make half this much if you're short on basil.)
Ingredients for Basil Vinaigrette:
6 T your favorite no-sugar vinaigrette dressing
(I like Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar Dressing or Le Parisien Vinaigrette)
2 T basil puree
Patricia from Technicolor Kitchen also made a slightly different version of my Hearts of Palm Salad and reported her husband really likes it, although he doesn't like tomatoes, so check out her version too.
South Beach Diet / Low-Carb Diet Suggestions:
This salad is a perfect side dish for the South Beach Diet, or most any low-carb eating plan. For South Beach dieters, be sure to choose a vinaigrette with less than 2 grams of sugar per serving. This would make a great side dish for grilled fish or chicken.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

Added Arabic language support, which includes right-to-left reading order support for booklet and N-Up.
Added driver support for the following new devices:
In environments where users do not have permission to write to either the %allusersprofile%\Application Data directory or the %AppData% directory, the UPD 2.x.5 drivers can show a slight delay when opening the Printing Preferences or when the queue is selected in the Print dialog of an application.
To work around this delay, you should copy the %allusersprofile%\Application Data\<driver name> directory from a print server to the corresponding location on the restricted client workstation.
Windows logon scripts can be used to automate this process for ease of maintenance.
Point and Print Environment
Client PC issues:
The client PC, unable to properly communicate with the printer to identify its printer model information, incorrectly identifies the printer as a Universal Color model.
Because the server is reporting the original model, whenever Printer Properties or Printer Preferences is opened, the driver attempts to build the GDL data to define a Universal Color driver, and it is this rebuilding of GDL data that causes a delayed response.
Please contact the Technical Support Center for a fix to this issue and please reference this article so that technical support representatives can report on the frequency of this issue.
v2.x.4 Release Notes (April 2012)
|Possible observation...

Ashley Benson Talks Rumors of A Spring Breakers Sequel
Spring Breakers, the controversial 2013 film that consisted mostly of gratuitous nudity and even more gratuitous violence set to old-school Britney Spears songs, was either brilliant satire or brilliant garbage, depending perhaps mostly on what you wanted it to be.
But uncontested was the film's buzz, enough to gross $31 million at the box office (on a $5 million budget), and launch a bid for star James Franco to win an Oscar.
It was also the film debut for Pretty Little Liars standout Ashley Benson, who recently addressed rumors of a sequel.
"I think it can only be done once," she said during an @Cosmopolitan Twitter chat.
She also said she still sees the Spring Breakers girls regularly.
In the final scene of Spring Breakers, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens' characters drive away into the sunset after shooting up a bunch of people in a mansion. Maybe it's better not to know where they go from there.

Police seek Thibodaux car burglar
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 9:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 8:40 p.m.
A reward is being offered for information about a stolen pickup and a string of vehicle burglaries committed Tuesday on Winder Road in Thibodaux.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office has issued a warrant for the arrest of Spencer Reid Sims, 33, 203 Willard Drive, Houma, and said others may be involved.
After 3 a.m. Tuesday, deputies received a call about someone trying to break into a car on Winder Road. Deputies found the suspect in his vehicle, but he fled, they said. Moments later, the suspect's car was found flipped on its side in a swimming pool at a home on Pamela Street.
Deputies allegedly found crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the car, and a witness said the driver fled the crash on foot.
While searching for the suspect, deputies learned a light blue Ford pickup truck with tan accents had allegedly been stolen near the crash site.
Sims was found to be the owner of the crashed car, detectives said. Sims is wanted in connection with vehicle theft, six vehicle burglaries, aggravated flight from an officer, simple criminal damage to property, and possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia. He is also a suspect in other crimes in Lafourche and Houma.
Anyone with information on Sims' whereabouts, or on other possible suspects in these crimes, is asked to contact Bayou Region Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433 or by texting "GIVEATIP" plus your message to 274637.
Information can also be submitted online at http://www.crimestoppersbr.org or by using the free TipSubmit Mobile application available in the Apple App Store and the Android Market. Tipsters can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
Residents of the Winder Road area are asked to check for signs of burglary of their cars and homes and to contact Detective Jeff Chamberlain at 532-4320 if a crime has been committed.
Lafourche Sheriff Craig Webre reminds residents that locking their vehicles, especially overnight, is one of the best ways to avoid being a burglary victim.
"These vehicle burglary strings are becoming increasingly more common, and more often than not, we are discovering the victims had not locked their vehicles," Webre said. "These criminals are looking for easy targets and usually bypass vehicles with locked doors. We hope this case, in addition to arrests made in previous similar cases, sends a strong message to those thinking of mimicking this type of behavior. Our investigators will identify you, and you will be arrested."
Nikki Buskey can be reached at 857-2205 or email@example.com.

NEW YORK -- J.C. Penney's board of directors has ousted CEO Ron Johnson, the former Apple (AAPL) retail guru, after only 16 months on the job as a risky turnaround strategy backfired and led to massive losses and steep sales drops.
The department store chain said that it has rehired Johnson's predecessor Mike Ullman, 66, who was CEO of the department store chain for seven years until November 2011.
The announcement comes as a growing chorus of critics including a former Penney CEO, Allen Questrom, called for his resignation as they lost faith in an aggressive overhaul plan that included getting rid of most discounts in favor of everyday low prices to bringing in new brands.
The biggest blow came last week from his strongest supporter activist investor and board member Bill Ackman, who had pushed the board in the summer of 2011 to hire Johnson to shake up the dowdy image of the retailer. He reportedly told investors on Friday that Penney's execution "has been something very close to a disaster."
Still, some analysts were surprised that the board didn't give the former Apple and Target executive until later this year to reverse the sales slide. Johnson was in the midst of rolling out shops devoted to brands like Joe Fresh and home furnishings designer Jonathan Adler. The new shops, which started opening last year, had been faring better than the rest of the store.
"I truly believed that he had until holiday 2013," said Brian Sozzi, CEO and chief equities strategist Belus Capital Advisers. "Today's announcement is an indictment of his strategy."
Johnson's fatal mistake, some analysts said, was that he treated J.C. Penney as though it were another Apple. His ambitious strategy for Penney's was tested and proven at a tech retailer with unparalleled brand power, a sexy image and steep price points -- none of which J.C. Penney has.
"The first lesson is that the things that you learn at Apple aren't always translatable to other retailers," said Stephen Baker, retail analyst with The NPD Group. "At Apple, he wasn't in a normal retail market."
Customers will wait in line all night and pay top dollar for an iPad, but that doesn't happen for no-name blue jeans or bedspreads. Soon after Johnson scaled back J.C. Penney's clearance sales, a main attraction for the retailer's spend-thrifty customers, sales began sharply plunging.
"He should have created a buzz first around the brand," said Prasad Kaipa, a Silicon Valley educator and entrepreneurship expert and author. "What makes it different from the Targets and Old Navys?"
Tammy Day Frazier is a self-described "bargain shopper" who once frequented the J.C. Penney sales racks, but has since mostly abandoned the store.
"Obviously they didn't think that women shoppers love the clearance racks and there really aren't any anymore," she wrote on this newspaper's Facebook page. "They are also getting rid of some plus size clothes for men and women and that will make me and most of my friends shop elsewhere."
Johnson was widely praised for his work on Apple's stores, which are beautifully designed showrooms staffed with knowledgeable and well-trained staff, said Dale Achabal executive director of the Retail Management Institute at Santa Clara University.
"But people weren't in there looking for bargains," he said.
Johnson's old job at Apple is open -- his replacement, John Browett was fired last year.
Sozzi said he thinks that Ullman will only serve as an interim CEO and is there to "slow the pace of change." He expects the Plano, Texas company's board will hand off the job to another executive who may want to take the company private.
Johnson's future at Penny became uncertain after the department store retailer reported dismal fourth-quarter results in late February that capped the first full year of a transformation plan gone wrong. Penney amassed nearly a billion dollars in losses and its revenue tumbled almost 25 percent to $12.98 billion.
Under Johnson, 54, Penney ditched coupons and most of its sales events in favor of everyday low prices. It brought in hipper designer brands such as Betsy Johnson and updated stores by installing specialty shops devoted to brands such as Levi's to replace rows of clothing racks. Johnson's goal was to reinvent Penney's business into a trendy place to shop in a bid to attract younger, wealthier shoppers. But since Johnson, who was the mastermind behind Apple's profitable stores rolled out his plan, once loyal customers have strayed from the 1,100-store chain. It hasn't been able to attract new shoppers to replace them.
Initially, Wall Street supported Johnson's ideas. In a vote of confidence, investors drove Penney's stock up 24 percent to $43 after Johnson announced his vision in late January 2012. But as Johnson's plans unraveled, Penney's stock lost more than 60 percent of its value. Meanwhile, credit rating agencies downgraded the company deeper into junk status. On Monday, the stock closed at $15.87, down 50 percent since Johnson took the helm.
In one of the biggest signs of the board's disapproval of Johnson's performance, Johnson saw his 2012 compensation package plummet nearly 97 percent to about $1.9 million without a sizeable stock award he got last year and no bonuses, according to a filing last week.
Meanwhile, in another blow to Johnson's turnaround strategy, Vornado Realty Trust, one of Penney's biggest shareholders, sold more than 40 percent of its stake in the company last month. The company's chairman CEO Steve Roth sits on Penney's board.
During the fourth quarter that ended Feb. 2, Penney widened its loss to $552 million, or $2.51 per share, up from a loss of $87 million, or 41 cents per share a year ago.
Total revenue dropped 28.4 percent to $3.88 billion. .
Penney's results for the full year were even more staggering. For the fiscal year, Penney lost $985 million, or $4.49 per share, compared with a loss of $152 million, or 70 cents per share, in the year ended January 28, 2012. The company's revenue fell 25 percent, to $12.98 billion, from the previous year's $17.26 billion.

JOHANNESBURG -- U.S. President Barack Obama exhorted the world Tuesday to embrace Nelson Mandela's universal message of peace and justice, electrifying tens of thousands of rain-lashed spectators and prompting a standing ovation by scores of heads of state in a South African stadium.
In a speech that received thunderous applause, Obama urged people to apply the lessons of Mandela, who emerged from 27 years in prison under a racist regime, embraced his enemies when he finally walked to freedom and promoted forgiveness and reconciliation in South Africa.
"We, too, must act on behalf of justice. We, too, must act on behalf of peace," said Obama, who like Mandela became the first black president of his country. Obama said that when he was a student, Mandela "woke me up to my responsibilities -- to others, and to myself -- and set me on an improbable journey that finds me here today."
Police were expecting a crushing crowd at FNB stadium and had set up overflow points with big screen TVs, but the foul weather and public transportation problems kept many people away. The 95,000-capacity stadium was only two-thirds full.
Addressing the memorial service for Mandela, who died Thursday at age 95, Obama pointed out that "around the world today, men and women are still imprisoned for their political beliefs; and are still persecuted for what they look like, or how they worship, or who they love."
Among the nearly 100 heads of state and government were some from countries like Cuba that don't hold fully democratic elections. On the way to the podium, Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro, underscoring a recent warming of relations between Cuba and the U.S.
In contrast to the wild applause given to Obama, South African President Jacob Zuma was booed. Many South Africans are unhappy with Zuma because of state corruption scandals, though his ruling African National Congress, once led by Mandela, remains the front-runner ahead of elections next year.
Some of the dozens of trains reserved to ferry people to the stadium in Soweto, a township which revolted in 1976 against white rule, were delayed due to a power failure. A Metrorail services spokeswoman, Lilian Mofokeng, said more than 30,000 mourners were successfully transported by train.
The mood was celebratory. A dazzling mix of royalty, statesmen and celebrities was in attendance.
Thabo Mbeki, the former South African president who succeeded Mandela, got a rousing cheer as he entered the stands. French President Francois Hollande and his predecessor and rival, Nicolas Sarkozy, arrived together. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon waved and bowed to spectators who sang praise for Mandela, seen by many South Africans as the father of the nation.

"I would not have the life I have today if it was not for him," said Matlhogonolo Mothoagae, a postgraduate marketing student who arrived hours before the stadium gates opened. "He was jailed so we could have our freedom."
Rohan Laird, the 54-year-old CEO of a health insurance company, said in the stadium that he grew up during white rule in a "privileged position" as a white South African and that Mandela helped whites work through a burden of guilt.
"His reconciliation allowed whites to be released themselves," Lair said. "I honestly don't think the world will see another leader like Nelson Mandela."
Workers were still welding at a VIP area as the first spectators arrived amid an enormous logistical challenge of organizing the memorial for Mandela, who died Dec. 5 in his Johannesburg home at the age of 95.
Mandela's widow, Graca Machel, and former wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela were at the stadium, and gave each other a long hug before the ceremonies began. So were actress Charlize Theron, model Naomi Campbell and singer Bono.
Tuesday was the 20th anniversary of the day when Mandela and South Africa's last apartheid-era president, F.W. de Klerk, received the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to bring peace to their country. De Klerk, a political rival who became friends with Mandela, was also in the stadium.
Mandela said in his Nobel acceptance speech at the time: "We live with the hope that as she battles to remake herself, South Africa will be like a microcosm of the new world that is striving to be born."
The sounds of horns and cheering filled the stadium. The rain was seen as a blessing among many of South Africa's majority black population.
"In our culture the rain is a blessing," said Harry Tshabalala, a driver for the justice ministry. "Only great, great people are memorialized with it. Rain is life. This is perfect weather for us on this occasion."
People blew on vuvuzelas, the plastic horn that was widely used during the World Cup soccer tournament in 2010, and sang songs from the era of the anti-apartheid struggle decades ago.
"It is a moment of sadness celebrated by song and dance, which is what we South Africans do," said Xolisa Madywabe, CEO of a South African investment firm.
The soccer venue was also the spot where Mandela made his last public appearance at the closing ceremony of the World Cup. After the memorial, his body will lie in state for three days at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, once the seat of white power, before burial Sunday in his rural childhood village of Qunu in Eastern Cape Province.
Police promised tight security, locking down roads kilometers (miles) around the stadium. However, the first crowds entered the stadium without being searched.
John Allen, a 48-year-old pastor from the U.S. state of Arkansas, said he once met Mandela at a shopping center in South Africa with his sons.
"He joked with my youngest and asked if he had voted for Bill Clinton," Allen said. "He just zeroed in on my 8-year-old for the three to five minutes we talked."

With a gross salary of more than $333,000, BART's highest-paid employee last year wasn't its general manager, police chief or a worker who racked up gobs of overtime scrubbing grime from filthy train seats.
It was someone who did no work at all for BART in 2012: Dorothy Dugger, the agency's former general manager who resigned under pressure more than two years ago.
Under a lucrative retirement scheme, Dugger, 57, quietly stayed on the books, burning off nearly 80 weeks of unused vacation time, drawing paychecks and full benefits for more than 19 months after she agreed to quit in May 2011, according to an analysis by this newspaper. By remaining on BART's payroll, she accrued almost two extra months of vacation, while sitting at home drawing a six-figure salary for unused time off.
The months of extra pay were on top of the $920,000 that BART paid Dugger to leave after the agency's board botched an effort to fire her by violating public meetings laws.
"Wow," said James Fang, a BART board member who tried to oust Dugger. "She was still on the payroll? I did not know this. It's startling."
In 2012 alone Dugger's gross pay could have bought 52,837 round-trip BART tickets between downtown Oakland and San Francisco's Financial district. She even received more pay than the person who replaced her to run the Bay Area commuter railroad, General Manager Grace Crunican, who took home $316,000.
Without leaving her home in Oakland's Crocker Highlands neighborhood, Dugger reaped the astonishing windfall by cashing in more than 3,100 vacation hours, saved during her 20 years with BART.
Many cash-strapped public agencies are now under scrutiny for allowing departing employees to convert huge banks of unused vacation and sick time into big cash payouts, but a little-known policy in BART's rules for senior managers like Dugger made her perk even sweeter.
Because she was allowed to drag out her vacation-bank payments for months, Dugger received $138,000 worth of benefits, including pension contributions and medical insurance -- perks she would not have received if she had taken her vacation payments in a lump-sum check. Since she remained on BART's payroll, Dugger also received an additional $98,000 in cash, because she was still racking up vacation time and management bonuses -- even though she had no one to manage.
That alone was more than the 2012 gross pay of almost three-quarters of BART's 3,340 workers, the agency's compensation data shows.
Remaining on BART's payroll also added both time and money to the calculations on which Dugger's retirement is based -- increasing her pension payments by more than $1,000 a month for life. When her time on BART's books finally ran out in December, she began to draw a pension of $181,000 a year.
Reached this week by phone, Dugger said she was entitled to the money because she earned the time off.
She said her decision to spread out her unused vacation payments after her four-year tenure as general manager ended in May 2011 "best suited my needs. I made that decision some time ago. I don't remember every factor."
BART's vacation policy requires senior managers to decide every year whether they want to save unused time off for a retirement bonus. They must place the time in an account that can only be cashed out at the end of a career.
Not taking a lump sum on top of her $920,000 settlement eased Dugger's tax burden, as well.
But news of her bounty wasn't easy for BART riders to stomach.
"I hope it becomes a big stink," said BART patron Mitch Roland, of Alameda. "This is an agency funded by taxpayers. ... They should have stricter controls."
Crunican, the new general manager, didn't respond to several messages left with her spokeswoman last week. BART board President Tom Radulovich, of San Francisco, did not return several phone calls.
BART board member Robert Raburn, of Oakland, said Dugger's payout shows a serious problem in how the agency deals with unused time off.
"We should be able to control it," he said of time accruals. "It should be use it or lose it."
Another board member had concerns.
"We have to look at this," Fang said. "We never think about these very critical and important little things."
BART is widely known for offering some of the most lucrative government benefits and sweeteners in California. Employees contribute nothing to pension costs, the agency provides rare deferred compensation accounts as an extra retirement fund and most employees contribute only $92 a month to medical insurance costs no matter how many dependents they have on a policy.
But Dugger appears to have especially benefited. The value of the time off she stored up before becoming general manager skyrocketed when she ascended to the top job in 2007 and received a raise of nearly $100,000 a year, records show. She was paid for all 3,100 hours of unused time off at her final, highest pay rate, she said, not her rate when the time was accrued.
"It was time (off) I earned my whole career at BART," she said. "It's a cost of having the option" to save the vacation until the end of a career, she said.
When asked if she thought that was fair to BART riders, she said: "That's a fair issue to debate."
Raburn was one the directors who voted to fire Dugger in early 2011 after mounting complaints about service and cleanliness of the aging transit system and criticism that she failed to provide strong leadership after the 2009 fatal shooting of a handcuffed African-American man, Oscar Grant III, by a BART police officer.
But the directors were forced to quickly rescind that decision after discovering they had not followed public notice requirements to schedule the closed-door meeting to vote on Dugger's ouster. Dugger threatened to sue, and the board agreed to pay her $920,000, plus $14,000 in legal costs, to drop the threat and resign.
"We had to buy her out, I don't know what else we can say. It could have been much worse if she had gone to court," Raburn said.
But lost in that was any discussion of how to deal with all of Dugger's vacation time. "I can't talk about what we discussed," Raburn said.
Dugger said she was proud of her time with BART. Asked if her lucrative use of vacation time exposed a fiscal flaw in the agency, she said, "I think BART's track record on fiscal management is quite solid."

Here is a look at Dorothy Dugger's pay after she resigned in May 2011:
Settlement payment to avert lawsuit, May, 2011: $920,000
Unused vacation time as of May 2011: About 3,100 hours
Gross pay, June 2011 to December 2012: $558,000
Cost to BART for benefits, June 2011 to December 2012: $138,000
Monthly pension payments, beginning January 2013: $15,083

While the grown-ups plan to break old habits and sign up for new gym memberships, help your kids take a lighter look at the changing of the calendar! Check out these three New Year's planning activities, designed to help kids get perspective on the year, articulate their own values, and plan for fun throughout the year:
- The New Year's Interview – Make a list of questions that help your child look back on 2012 and plan ahead for 2013. Focus mainly on lighthearted questions they'll have fun answering . . . but include a couple of weightier ones, too (especially for older kids). Record the answers on a piece of paper for a great scrapbook or journal insert! Here are some sample questions:
- What was the best joke you heard this year?
- Who are your closest friends?
- What was the most fun you had on a vacation this year?
- What new things did you learn to do in 2012?
- What do you want to learn in 2013?
- Is there anyone you want to get to know better this year?
2. 2013 Play Box – Help your child write a list of play ideas on a piece of paper. (Try to steer the ideas toward realistic, everyday possibilities, such as playing with puzzles, helping plan dinner, or doing a craft.) Then cut up the paper so one idea is on each strip, and drop all of the strips in an empty tissue box (or any box that's easy to reach into, but not easy to see into.) Bring out the arts and crafts supplies to decorate the box, too. Then use the box throughout the year for playtime inspiration!
3. One-of-a-Kind Journal – Provide art supplies to decorate the outside of a plain notebook. Encourage your child to cut and paste, apply stickers, and color to make the cover unique! Help write "2013" on the front cover or on the first page of the book. Then help your child get into the habit of recording his or her thoughts in the journal each day or each week, using written words, drawings, or even photographs. (To stand up to glue or coloring, be sure you choose a notebook with sturdy paper—our Mini Sketch Pad is a great choice.) This can be a meaningful experience—and a wonderful keepsake—for any age!
How do you celebrate the New Year in your family? Share your ideas and favorite activities in the comments below, or join the conversation on the Melissa & Doug Facebook page!

Hi all,
I've been using PS3 Media server for quite a while and for the most part I've been quite happy with it. However, there is one more thing I'd like it to do, for the most part I need some videos to be transcoded because it will include external subtitles on the video itself, yet, there are some particular videos that do not need to be transcoded (I don't need subtitles on these). Basically I need to emulate the option "Skip transcode for the following extentions". I think it would be nice to have an option [maybe?] within the #TRANSCODE# folder, for "videoX.ext 'direct streaming - no transcoding'", just like you can choose which engine to transcode the file with
Thanks for such a great utility,

LETTER: There's something for 'pro-knife' argument
Published: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 10:53 p.m.
Dear Editor: The arguments of gun lovers and the National Rifle Association in favor of guns and more guns find no legal basis in the U.S. Constitution.
The Second Amendment reads, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This amendment made sense before we had the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and a standing Army. We were a fledgling nation in danger of recapture by Great Britain and facing other potential enemies, given our desire to expand geographically beyond our newly acquired 13 states. We haven't had a "well regulated militia" for the past two centuries — Congress created the U.S. Army on Jan. 3, 1784.
I do not oppose people owning shotguns, rifles and even handguns for hunting or target practice. I used to hunt quail in the Ozarks with my "sweet" 16 shotgun and shoot targets with my .22 rifle. But I didn't need or have the desire to own an AK-47 or anything like it. Assault weapons should only be available to law enforcement officers pursuing dangerous criminals.
I agree with columnist Molly Ivins, who wrote "I'm not anti-gun, I'm pro-knife. You have to catch up with someone in order to stab them. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We would turn into a nation of great runners."

PITTSBURGH -- The Brandon Belt national home run tour marches on, but the Giants' 10-game cross-country junket has hit a bit of a stall as they head into a four-game series in Los Angeles.
After four straight wins to start their longest trip during the first half of the season, the Giants dropped their second in a row, a 4-3 defeat to the Pittsburgh Pirates that saw Tim Lincecum fritter away Belt's early gift with inconsistency galling both to the pitcher and his manager.
Belt hammered his ninth home run in the top of the first inning -- he now has homered in all seven parks he's played in this year -- but Lincecum (2-2) gave up two runs in each of his the first two innings, and the Giants couldn't erase the early 4-1 deficit against Pittsburgh right-hander Gerrit Cole.
Lincecum set the tone right out of the gate when he threw seven straight balls. Then he threw some very poor strikes, surrendering six two-strike hits of the eight he allowed, four of those when he was ahead in the count 0-2.
"That's too many 0-2 hits," said manager Bruce Bochy. "He might have broken a record there today."
Andrew McCutchen drove in the first Pirates run on an 0-2 curveball that was up in the zone. Starling Marte then made it 2-1 when he drove home McCutchen with a double on an 0-1 pitch.
But it was the second inning that really had Bochy rubbing his forehead. Lincecum got ahead 0-2 to No. 8 hitter Chris Stewart and to Cole before both singled. Lincecum also got ahead of leadoff man Travis Snider 0-2 but uncorked a wild pitch to move the runners up a base, and Snider ripped a 1-2 pitch to right to make it 4-1.
Lincecum found some semblance of a groove after that, but the damage was done.
"I wasn't finishing my pitches off," Lincecum said. "I have to be better with my secondary pitches when I get ahead of guys. They were just kind of rolling into the zone, and I didn't really have the bite on my changeup. I'm a guy who's going to get (hitters) to chase, and today, I was just leaving them over the plate too much. The 0-2 to McCutchen was chest-high, and I was trying to throw it in the dirt."
It was a frustrating step backward for Lincecum, who is the anti-Tim Hudson. He has yet to go seven innings in any of his seven starts. But he had been taking baby steps of progress, allowing three or fewer runs in his previous four starts. The Giants won all four of those games.
No one is quite sure what to expect from Lincecum right now, including the pitcher himself. The maddening part is that he can't seem to find any measure of consistency from start to start, a pattern that began in spring training.
"I've just been going up, going back, going up, going back," he said. "I have to find a way to knock that off, get on a roll, and find that momentum that I'm looking for."
Cole (3-2), by contrast, settled in despite giving up the home run in the first and a two-run double by Belt in the fifth that made it a one-run game. But after Belt was thrown out to end the inning trying to take third, Cole allowed just one single over the next three innings, and Mark Melancon finished things off with a perfect ninth, aided by a brilliant diving catch by McCutchen on a short fly ball by Brandon Crawford.
Lincecum not only needs to regain his momentum, so do the Giants. After winning six straight and 10 of 11, they have fallen back to 21-13. But if there was an upside, it appears that Belt has regained his second-half stroke from 2013. He reached base in eight of his 11 plate appearances in this series, and he drove in all three runs Wednesday.
"I just looked at the video and saw what I was doing when I was hitting well and also what I was doing when I wasn't hitting well," Belt said. "It was just a timing issue, so I starting working on it the past few days, and it's come around."
Belt's mistake on this day was trying to take third base after driving home Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence on a double down the right field line. When he was thrown out, he left cleanup man Michael Morse in the on-deck circle.
"We battled back, but it would have been nice to have Morse up there instead of making the third out at third," said Bochy.
"On my part, I said if Hunter goes, I'm going to go because it's going to be a close play at the plate," Belt explained. "It wasn't, so it ended up being a mistake on my part."

When it comes to matters of politics, Summit County business people have their own ideas about what the local candidates should focus on.
For Allen Bacher, a senior consultant at the Colorado Small Business Development Center in Dillon, it's commercial diversification, a strong vocational-technical program for those who won't be attending college, and a local economic development council to focus on how to boost business in Summit County.
"We have too much concentration dependent upon the resorts," Bacher said, adding that should there be three seasons in a row of poor snow, economic recovery would be a long time coming. "We need some commercial diversification."
Bacher suggests light industrial or light manufacturing companies locally as a route to economic diversity. Vocational training schools are needed to help support those who aren't pursing a path to college, he said.
"If we're not promoting technical, it'll never happen," he said.
Bacher, who teaches economics at Colorado Mountain College in Summit, feels the county should support an economic development council to strengthen the local business infrastructure.
The issue has come up between Summit County Commissioner Karn Stiegelmeier and challenger Kevin Mastin - Mastin has indicated he's for it, while Stiegelmeier said at a recent debate that she didn't want to create a "redundant" organization focused on economic development. She advocated allowing the private sector, including the two ski resorts located in unincorporated Summit County, to take the lead on marketing and promotion efforts.
Breckenridge had its own economic development council a few years back, which sounded good on paper, but "didn't have the staying power," said Mike Dudick, owner and developer of Grand Lodge on Peak 7 and Grand Timber Lodge, and a member of the Breckenridge Town Council. Maybe the key isn't necessarily a county council, but a brainstorming between local business and political leaders on how to entice new enterprises to Summit - information for potential business owners should be put together in a cohesive package, and in an easily digestible format, he said.
"I think whether it's the town or the county, we have to have a clearly defined way we conduct business," he said. "We have to create a certainty for those that are willing to risk their own equity to create a business."
Eddie O'Brien, owner of O'Brien and Associates Real Estate in Dillon, is all for a local economic development council. He has been involved in both Silverthorne's and Dillon's.
"If you have a committee that is seated well, meaning you have good business people ... then they're very effective," he said.
Having one tied to the county commissioners, O'Brien feels, would be very useful - especially for those businesses that reside in Summit County, but not within town limits. It would give them a voice, he said.
When it comes to how state representatives can affect Summit County's business community, O'Brien points to the recent legislation that clarifies Forest Service rules for summer activities on resort mountains as a good example - it will benefit economic development, he said.
"If they continue to focus on continuing to build businesses in the ski areas, that will trickle down to the local businesses," he said.
O'Brien wants the representatives to look out for solutions for small businesses, especially in the areas of health care and taxation. Companies comprised of only two to 20 people are the backbone of Summit County and many of its surrounding communities, he said, so they need to survive.
Michael Rath, managing partner of Trilogy Builds, hopes the local politicians will help bring the jobs back to the construction industry. Rath is also vice president of the Summit County Builder's Association, and said building permits aren't what they used to be - in 2004, there were 300. So far in 2012, there has been 72.
"What I've been trying to do is reach out to the towns and let them know. If the rest of the economy dropped off 75 percent, we wouldn't recognize the world we live in anymore," he said.

W.Va. lawmakers making plans for new session
February 8, 2013
SOUTH CHARLESTON — State lawmakers will have a variety of issues to face, from education to prison overcrowding to budgetary concerns, when the Legislature goes into session next week....
I have friends who are teachers and they get a raise every year. Other state employees with sinilar education and experience are asked ti do more with less staff every year, yet have not had a raise in over five years because we do not have a union. This is a disgrace. The state ghas been in the black several years and we deserve a decent cost of living raise. And by the way every teacher yteachinmg a soecial needs child should have ipe input and acces to assistance as needed. This is not the case. Many teachers have never seen the plan. That systtem needs change and i am glad it came to light.

Thanks to all the parents of special needs kids who have insisted they be in the same schools as kids without special needs-so they won't feel different-but will be treated differently-as in better-than other kids-all the money to retrain teachers and meet their other demands has to come from somewhere? When they made these demands I guess they didn't realize that when you take from one person to fulfill the needs of another-the person you took from will have to do without. Thanks Beth Dean!

Some of your points are worth having a discussion about..but removing sports programs should not be an option...maybe at the middle school level..have the local pee-wee programs take over..but high school sports should be continued..school is about getting an eduction, which, like in life, is not all about the books, it is about being a well rounded human being and learning other intangibles such as team work, excercise, etc. which all help keep people healthy in other aspects of life.

I have a few obvious suggestions. First, where the education budget is concerned, do away with all high school and middle school football, basket ball and baseball teams and activities. This will save school budgets thousands of dollars and reinforce what high school is supposedto be about-getting an education. Also set up an alternate GED program. Not all kids are the same and would do better in a non traditional program-especially those who plan to join the military. And remind kids in high school that the military is an option to get the security they will not get working at Walmart. Also, start drug testing welfare people, drop those who flunk, force those who realistically can work to work. Take away the free ride to college welfare people get. If they want an education they can work for it. As for prisons-bring back chain gangs and stop programsand scholarships that give convicts a free ride to college. If they want an education-let them work for it too.

Amateur boxing bouts have resumed at a Grand Forks-area club, one month after a North Dakota man collapsed in the ring and later died.
Twenty-nine-year-old Jeremiah "J.J." Moen, of Grand Forks, suffered a seizure and lost consciousness following the first round of his Feb. 16 match in East Grand Forks, Minn. He died on Feb. 20.
The Forx Fighters club, which shut down for a week after Moen's death, was back in action Saturday with 11 scheduled bouts at the East Grand Forks American Legion club.
The Grand Forks Herald reports that club coach Eddie Obregon unveiled a plaque with Moen's photo, paid for by the families of fellow boxers.
Boxer Reid Nelson says Moen's death has weighed on him and dedicated his Saturday match to his former teammate.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Black Friday shoppers in many cities briefly detoured into lottery retailers, drawn off task by the prospects of winning a $325 million Powerball jackpot — the fourth-largest in the game's history.
Chicago resident Clyde Gadlin, 65, emerged from the bustle of holiday shoppers on Chicago's Michigan Avenue to stop in at a 7-Eleven to buy his daily batch of Lottery tickets, including Powerball.
For him, the game is a chance to dream — a single winner's cash payout would be nearly $213 million before taxes — and he tries not to let the long odds burst his bubble.
Lottery officials say they're unsure what effect Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas shopping season will have on sales, which normally pick up in the days before high-dollar drawings.
If Gadlin wins, he said he'd return to his grandfather's farm in Heidelberg, Miss., where he spent part of his childhood.
"I would go down there again and probably do a little bit of farming," he said, recalling the roaming deer and 380 acres of potatoes, corn, watermelons and sugar cane. Gadlin hasn't been there for more than 20 years.
And if he isn't successful this time, it's likely he'll have another shot at a record-breaking pot of cash.
Since Powerball tickets doubled in price to $2 in January, the number of tickets sold has decreased, but the sales revenue has made up for it, increasing by about 35 percent, said Norm Lingle, chairman of the Powerball board of directors.
And as the price went up, so did the jackpots — enticing thousands across the country to put their dreams on six numbers.

On the outside, the elegant women's watch exudes a graceful air with hand stitched alligator strap and cream colored dial embedded with gold numerals. On the inside, the real watchmaking prowess is at work. The life of the timepiece hinges on Caliber 240 – a 2.53mm ultra-thin self-winding mechanical movement with 22k gold off-center rotor, 161 parts and Philip Patek patented Gyromax balance. The Calatrava is the company's version of substance and form. Trust the master of complications to pull off this subtle watchmaking feat. After all, making things simple is complicated!
