There are two songs on Toby Keith's upcoming Greatest Hits 2 album that the singer himself counts as his most important. "The two biggest records in all of my career are, 'Cowboy' ("Should've Been a Cowboy" his #1 debut single)," said Toby. "It established me right off the bat, gave me credibility and put my name out there. Then 'How Do You Like Me Now,' to do what it did, you know it just comes down to the music." Toby will likely be sharing those two songs and many other hits on Nov. 10, when he performs an AOL ® Music LIVE! concert at Liberty Hall at The Factory in Franklin, Tenn. It will be the first time a country artist will perform an AOL Music LIVE! event. The event will celebrate the release of Greatest Hits 2, out Nov. 9.

If you hunt mostly in shallow water, you might want to Texas-rig your decoys. Tim Soderquist, a former waterfowl guide who now works for Ducks Unlimited in Texas, rigs all his decoys this way. "A big advantage of Texas-rigging is how quickly it allows you to put out and pick up your decoys," he says. "But it also really cuts down on tangles."
Soderquist rigs each decoy with about four feet of 500-pound-test offshore fishing line. He uses two-ounce teardrop weights (also called bank sinkers) and 2.3 mm crimps (also sold in the fishing tackle section) to secure the line.
He threads about six inches of one end of the line through a crimp and then runs the tag end through the weight. He finishes by bringing the end of the line back through the other side of the crimp, clamping it tight, and trimming off the excess.
Soderquist threads a similar loop on the other end of the line through another crimp and then through the keel of the decoy. But he doesn't cinch the crimp all the way to the decoy's keel. "I like to leave the loop between the crimp and keel large enough for my thumb to go through," he says.
The heavy fishing line doesn't tangle like nylon decoy cord. And you can roll the lines of a dozen or so Texas-rigged decoys into a circle, tie them in place with a loose overhand knot, and secure them with a carabiner (D-ring).

VETO - Legends abound about the history of a cluster of small headstones overlooking Veto Lake in Dunham Township.
Most of the 14 or so stones represent deaths ranging from 1815 to 1884 and most bear the surname Hopkins, making it one of two Hopkins cemeteries in the township. However, there is some debate as to where the headstones were initially located.
"There's actually one cemetery that's under Veto Lake," said Catherine Sams, a member of Washington County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society.

Belpre Historical Society secretary, curator and genealogist Charlotte Powell offered to house the tombstone of her third great grandfather at the historical society. The stone was thought to be the last one in existence from the small family cemetery overlooking Veto Lake. However, just over a dozen stones still overlook the lake.
According to stories Sams gathered from local residents, the cluster of headstones had once been located where the lake now is. Residents told Sams that as the lake building project moved forward in the late 1940s or early 1950s, the stones were haphazardly moved to the top of the embankment, but the bodies were never disinterred.
For decades, the Ohio Genealogical Society planned on relocating the stones away from the private property on which they had been scattered. In 1989, the owner of the property allowed members of OGS to come and take grave readings.
But soon after, the property changed hands and the new owner told the OGS he had broken up the stones and used them for gravel in his driveway.
"There was actually one tombstone that was not destroyed," said Sams.
The stone Sams is referring to marked the final resting place of Freeman Hopkins, who died in 1858, and is now housed at the Belpre Historical Society.
Charlotte Powell, the secretary, curator and genealogist at the museum explained how she came upon it.
"I went to a presentation and the presenter kept talking about this person. Well, he was my third great grandfather," said Powell, 70, of Little Hocking.
Powell spoke up and found that the presenter had "liberated" the stone from the small Hopkins cemetery sometime in the 1980s before the property owner claimed to have destroyed everything. It was the presenters' third great grandfather as well, said Powell.
"I said, 'Well we'll give it a home at the Belpre Historical Society,'" she recalled.
The stone is now preserved among a row of similar headstones.
However, the claim of destruction from the old property owner proved to be a bluff.
"The stones are still there," said Nick Huffman, 32, who owns the property.
As to the original location of the stones, stories are mixed.
Dale Devore, 83, of Belpre, worked on the lake construction in the 1950s. Devore said he has no recollection of anyone needing to move a cemetery.
And Dunham Township Trustee Ben Elder said he also remembers the lake construction process, but not a cemetery at the bottom.
"They wouldn't have buried somebody where it flooded every year or two," said Elder.
However, it seems apparent that the stones' current location was not their original one.
Dunham Township Trustee Kenneth Maze said he remembers hearing legends of a cemetery at the bottom of the lake.
And Huffman said he would not be surprised.
"That's pretty believable because they're not really arranged in any fashion," he said.

Police surrounded a home on Lafountain Street on Tuesday night as it was believed a fugitive from New York State was inside.
The man is wanted in New York City in connection with weapons charges, police said.
Winooski police along with Vermont State Police executed a search warrant at an apartment at 64 Lafountain Street, believing the man was inside, Deputy Chief Richard Benoit said.
Police evacuated homes around the apartment.
"There's a history of firearms, and in fact the warrant itself involved a weapons charge so it was a precautionary measure," Benoit said.
Witnesses said police used tear gas to enter the home. Inside, police could one person with an active arrest warrant, but the man at the center of the investigation was not there.
Lafountain Street was cleared by 11:30 p.m.
Police are not releasing the fugitive's name.
The investigation is ongoing, Benoit said.

Could it be a white Christmas in Ireland? The odds are good. Paddy Power (an Irish bookmaker) is paying 3-1 for snow on Christmas Day. And if today's blanket of snow across the country is a sign then we are in luck.
Snow, actual real snow, lay on the tops of cars this morning (Monday). It was evenly disturbed across the front gardens of the houses I looked out at in Limerick, and tire marks were clearly visible disturbing the fallen snow on the road. It was a sight to behold.
Now it wasn't the usual six inches we would get in New York but it was a start. A beautiful start to Christmas, and a wonderful start to my day.
The temperatures are hitting below zero here. The people of Ireland are beside themselves with worry about the roads freezing, and rightly so. It's extremely dangerous so caution is a necessity, but it's still beautiful.
I can't ever remember snow on Christmas Day in Ireland. Maybe once when I was very young, but a white Christmas in Ireland is a very rare sight.
This year will be my first Christmas in Ireland after seven years abroad. I am super excited.
You forget when you are away for so long what an Irish Christmas encompasses – shopping, visiting relations and friends, more shopping, eating and drinking, reunions with school friends, former work colleagues and distant relations.
This Christmas is also my first as a married woman, which means I now have two families to consider when shopping, planning nights out and cups of tea in. As John (my husband) is from Limerick and I'm from Kerry (approximately 90 minutes away) a lot of our time will be spent driving the N21, but we don't mind in the slightest.
Ireland's Christmas cheer is in full swing. Every couple of miles on the main roads and every 30 or so houses in the towns we are treated to spectacular displays of colorful lights outside Irish homes.
Some of the homes are stand-alone mini mansions, others are modest semi-detached homes, but the size of the house isn't a factor. It's the size of the Christmas spirit that counts, and Christmas spirit is still alive and well in good old Ireland.
John and I were in Dublin last weekend on our honeymoon and were blown away by how festive the city was. We had the pleasure of attending the Christmas market down by the Dublin Docklands. We had to queue for quiet a substantial amount of time to get access to the various Irish vendors so we could purchase some of the bits and bobs.
Christmas music was played in the background while food stalls selling chocolates and pancakes were serving at lightning speed. There was a sense of happiness and joy about the place that money could never buy. It was contagious, and I was drinking it all by the minute.
A number of walks around the city put a smile on our faces. Christmas carolers entertained us from various schools in Dublin. Shopkeepers saluted us with a friendly Merry Christmas, and locals from Dublin laughed with the visitors as an entertainer sprayed in sliver from head to toe and pretending to be a statue would make a sudden move.
The lights adorning the city were something else. Every street was lit up like a high wattage light bulb, and every store had Mariah Carey's version of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" pumping from their radios.
We took a few minutes out of our day to discuss how lucky we were to be able to experience such joy and happiness in such tough economic times in Ireland. Although people may not be spending as fluidly as they may once have, their Christmas spirit is as bubbly and alert as it always was.
We have had some wonderful Christmases in New York with our great friends (our New York families) Marion and Noreen Moriarty, Tara and Aidan Tobin, Liam Moore and Damien Mescall, and some wonderful dinners in Rory Dolan's in Yonkers were had, but nothing can compare to being in Ireland – at home – for Christmas.
I look forward to waking up on Christmas morning in my mother-in-law's home in Limerick to the smell of the turkey and ham in the oven, to the shrills of excitement from John's two nieces and one nephew as they unwrap their Santa gifts in Granny's, and to attending Mass in our Christmas day outfits – purchased specifically for the day – with the Mooney family.
After a fry-up in the Mooney household we will visit John's many aunts and uncles and sit down for dinner about 5 p.m. Christmas night, they tell me, is a real treat. Everyone gathers in John's aunt's house down the road where stories are told, songs are sung, cards are played and several alcoholic beverages are consumed until the early hours of the following morning.
We will then head back to Kerry and do it all again with my family on St. Stephen's Day (December 26).
I'm sure there will be many Irish immigrants in the U.S. reading this today saying how blessed we are to have the opportunity this Christmas to be with our families. We truly are and we are thankful for that every single day.

Fuels of the future
In 2007 Volvo presented trucks that can be driven on biodiesel, biogas, biogas + biodiesel, DME, ethanol/methanol, synthetic diesel, hydrogen gas + biogas. This was done in order to show that we can build these trucks and also that there is a need for a coordinated effort to switch to alternative fuels.
Volvo Trucks is also the first truck manufacturer to carry out comprehensive customer-based field tests involving Bio-DME fuel. And also first manufacturer to present a diesel engine that runs on methane gas with some diesel for the ignition.
These MethaneDiesel trucks are being introduced market by market all over the world. Methane will be the dominant alternative fuel to diesel.

An eastern Ohio man accused of killing a pizza delivery driver has requested and received a court-appointed attorney.
Adam Charles Burris is charged with murder in the slaying of 26-year-old Kayla Thompson of Cambridge.
Burris is being held on $1 million bond. His attorney, Andrew Warhola, didn't immediately return a message seeking comment Thursday.
Authorities in Guernsey County say Thompson didn't return from a delivery to Burris' home on Dec. 26. The sheriff says Burris was later taken into custody and led authorities to Thompson's body near a boat ramp at Dillon State Park in neighboring Muskingum County.
Burris' next municipal court date is a preliminary hearing Tuesday in Cambridge.

On "American Idol" the guys are dropping like flies.
Yes, another male contestant walked the plank on Thursday night as Devin Velez was eliminated, despite having one of his better performances the night before.
For the record, that's three straight guys who have gotten the boot since the "Idol" Top 10 was established. Curtis Finch Jr. and Paul Jolley preceded Velez. That leaves only two males -- Burnell Taylor and Lazaro Arbos -- in the competition, making it more and more likely that "Idol" will have its first female champion since Jordin Sparks captured the Season 6 crown in 2007.
Taylor and Arbos joined Velez in Thursday's all-male Bottom 3.
Velez chose "It's Impossible" for his survival song, but the judges, not surprisingly, declined to issue a save. Randy Jackson said the vote was not unanimous.
On Wednesday, Velez's take on Smokey Robinson's "Tracks of My Tears" was well-received by the judges (Mariah Carey called it "flawless"), but it was clear from past weeks that he was having trouble building an audience. And it undoubtedly didn't help that he was part of the horrendous group performance of "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" that included Taylor and Arbos.
Still, Arbos, not Velez, deserved to pack his bags. Arbos not only bungled his lyrics in the group effort, he was wobbly on his solo performance. In fact, record executive Jimmy Iovine predicted his demise at the top of Thursday's results show. Apparently, though, the sympathy vote is pretty strong.
Thursday's show featured performances by former "Idol" contestants Colton Dixon and Katharine McPhee. The former sang his new single, "Love Has Come for Me," and the latter joined One Republic on "If I Lose Myself Tonight." In addition, "Idol" judge Keith Urban performed his hit "Long Hot Summer."

Lawyer: Surgeons left 16 items in German after op
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 8:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 8:44 a.m.
BERLIN (AP) — A lawyer in Germany claims surgeons left up to 16 objects in her client's body after an operation for prostate cancer.
Annette Corinth says doctors removed a needle, compresses and surgical strips from banker Helmut Brecht after his wounds failed to heal properly following surgery in 2009.
The 77-year-old ex-banker died last year and his family is seeking €80,000 ($106,216) damages for his suffering, plus costs, from the Henriettenstift hospital in Hannover.
A spokesman for the Protestant Church-linked organization that runs the hospital rejected the claims.
Achim Balkhoff told The Associated Press Thursday the objects couldn't have been left in the patient's body during the operation because the equipment wasn't in use at the hospital.
He added that the compensation demands were "unusually high" for such a case.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Despite a sixth-inning strategy disaster that made the night a lot harder than it should have been, Angel Pagan's walk-off RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning salvaged a 3-2 Giants victory over San Diego Padres at AT&T Park on Friday.
Gregor Blanco opened the bottom of the ninth with a bloop single to left, but a poor bunt by pinch-hitter Andres Torres allowed Padres reliever Luke Gregerson to force Blanco at second. Torres stole second, however, and then easily scored when Pagan ripped a 2-0 pitch down the right-field line.
"It was one of those situations where I wanted to be the guy," said Pagan, who had gone 0 for 3 in his previous three at-bats, all with runners in scoring position.
Pagan's clutch hit concluded a weird night in which the Giants had numerous opportunities to break open the game, none better than in the bottom of the sixth when Brandon Belt and Blanco opened with singles and starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner pulled back a sacrifice bunt attempt and slapped the ball past hard-charging Padres third baseman Chase Headley.
But in what manager Bruce Bochy believed to be a bad bit of luck, the Padres were running the wheel play for a possible bunt, and Bumgarner's grounder went straight to shortstop Everth Cabrera as he was moving over to cover third. Cabrera tagged Belt and threw to second to force Blanco. If not for an errant throw to first by second baseman Jedd Gyorko, Bumgarner might have been out, as well, for a triple play.
"Actually, Bum did a great job there," Bochy said. "With the play they're running, there's probably a good chance he bunts into a double play. He did what you're supposed to do, he smoked the ball, but he just happened to hit right at (Cabrera). That's just bad luck."
Bumgarner agreed.
"That's what we practice and that's where you want to hit it, usually," he said. "Every time I've ever seen it hit there, it's been a hit."
The strategic misfortune could have been a deflating turn of events, particularly after Bumgarner didn't come back to pitch the seventh. He'd protected a 2-1 lead until two outs in the top of the sixth when Headley hit a solo homer.
"Looking back, it probably wasn't the best pitch to throw to him, and I shook to it, too," said Bumgarner, who allowed four hits and struck out 10. "Buster (Posey) didn't want to call it, so that's on me there."
Compared with other starts of late by the Giants rotation, particularly in Milwaukee where they lost three in a row, Bumgarner threw a certified gem even though he wound up with a no-decision.
He got stalwart bullpen support from Jose Mijares, George Kontos and Santiago Casilla, who combined to give up just one hit over three innings. Casilla (2-1) got the win with four straight outs, one to end the eighth and a 1-2-3 ninth.
Bumgarner didn't mind that he was denied a chance to go 4-0 as long as the Giants pulled out the game.
"We had a rough road trip so it was nice to come home and battle and get a win," he said.
The Padres struck first in the opening inning when leadoff man Chris Denorfia punched a double down the right-field line, advanced to third on a ground out and scored on a Headley sacrifice fly.
The Giants tied it in the bottom half. Pagan opened with a single against Edinson Vasquez, and Marco Scutaro walked. After Pablo Sandoval's ground out moved the runners up, Posey hit a sacrifice fly.
In the third, Posey walked with two outs, and Hunter Pence drilled an RBI double down the left-field line.
Now, after a 2-for-18 road trip that produced just one RBI, the Giants' struggling N.L. MVP faced the daunting task of finding his stroke at AT&T Park.
But typical Posey, he remained undaunted. Despite a .213 average with no homers and five RBIs through the team's first 16 games, there was no look of concern heading into Friday's game.
"I haven't been squaring it up at the rate I'd like," he said. "But I've been feeling better at the plate the last couple of games.
"That's the name of the game, waiting to get that mistake pitch and fighting the tough ones off."

Avene Products use this powerful water to deliver excellent results.

The rink opened to the public Saturday morning, and a steady crowd of skaters of all ages enjoyed a cool day on Morgan Square.
Grand opening ceremonies went on as planned Friday evening with a ribbon cutting and special performance by the Greenville Figure Skating Club, but city officials said the ice wasn't formed enough to allow the public on the rink just yet.
City Special Events Manager Mandy Merck said that Spartanburg residents were "so understanding" about the delayed opening and was excited to see so many families enjoying the attraction when it opened on Saturday.
"People are just so pleased," Merck said. "They're saying this is the best thing to happen to Spartanburg in some time, and that's exactly what we were hoping for."
Chantille Hull, 13, of Spartanburg was eager to get on the ice. Saturday was her first time ice skating.
"It brings more attention to Spartanburg, because we're kind of small," Hull said of the outdoor rink. "It'll bring more attention to downtown."
Hull's aunt, Francine Goff, said the scene — ice skates, families together, holiday decorations — reminded her of a traditional holiday movie.
"I am so happy I'm living here, because that's what it looks like," Goff said of the downtown vibe. "It just makes it festive."
The rink will remain in operation on Morgan Square through Jan. 6. The cost to skate is $10, which is good for an entire day and includes skate rental. Ice skating lessons are available.

SEC West now even tougher
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 7:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 7:44 a.m.
Bret Bielema was raised on a pig farm.
On Tuesday, he was hired to coach some.
Arkansas snatched Bielema, an Illinois native, away from the University of Wisconsin and introduced him as the school's new head football coach on Wednesday.
That is not the best news for LSU fans because Bielema is a proven winner who can mold Arkansas back into an SEC contender.
Bielema made his head coaching debut at Wisconsin seven seasons ago and posted an overall 68-24 record there. The Badgers also won three straight Big Ten titles, and he has that program at an elite level nationally.
As you could see in LSU's 20-13 victory over Arkansas on Nov. 23, the Razorbacks have existing talent within the program and have all the tools to become a major factor again in the SEC and in the national championship landscape.
One of the premiere programs in the country in the 1960s, Arkansas has had some success since, but climined to a Top 5 ranking at the end of 2011 and got as high as No. 3 during that season before a big loss at LSU.
The Razorbacks were actually No. 10 in the 2012 preseason ranking, but after losing former coach Bobby Petrino following a controversial motorcycle accident before the start of the season, Arkansas never recovered and finished 4-8 overall and 2-8 in the SEC.
Bielema will bring stability to the program, and as long as he keeps the top high school talent in Arkansas and reaches into Texas and Louisiana and other southern states to lock up other key guys, he should do well there.
That means the ultra-competitive SEC West will be even tougher in the near future.
You have Alabama, which is gunning for its third BCS title in four seasons, LSU, which is 125-32 since 2000 and has two BCS titles, Mississippi State, which is feeling good about itself after an 8-4 season, Ole Miss, which qualified for a bowl this year and Auburn, who has a new coach in Gus Malzahn and is only two years removed from a BCS title. And we haven't even gotten to Texas A&M yet.
I think most LSU fans just thought it was kind of cute and fun that Texas A&M entered the SEC West before this season. I don't think many of them expected the Aggies to burst onto the conference and national scene like they did.
Led by freshman quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Johnny Manziel, who set an SEC record for total offense with 4,600 yards this season, the Aggies ended the regular season at 10-2 (6-2 in the SEC), won at Alabama and lost only to Florida and LSU.
But more importantly than having "Johnny Football", the Aggies have a really good coach and recruiter in Kevin Sumlin, and being they are the only SEC school in Texas, it gives them an inside track in locking up premier prep talent in that football-rich state.
In fact, the Aggies are more and more beginning to come into Louisiana and further into the south to get top-notch talent.
So expect Sumlin and Texas A&M to be a force in the conference for years to come.
With Arkansas and Texas A&M on the rise, and having to deal with the existing powers that be, life just doesn't seem to be getting any easier for anyone in the SEC West.

Definition of salami in English:
noun (plural same or salamis)
- Village shops that once sold their ham in coffin-shaped tins, now peddle vac-packed slices of salami and prosciutto crudo, and this must surely be a step in the right direction.
- Between dives, I enjoy the local food - grilled meat and smoked ham, salted pilchards, sheep's cheese, paprika salami, Slavonian spicy sausages and so on.
- I also scarfed a plate of charcuterie which featured decent chorizo, a peppered salami and some sort of good cured pork loin which reminded me of Corsican lonzo, but could have been from anywhere, I'm no expert.
Italian, plural of salame, from a late Latin word meaning 'to salt'.
salt from Old English:
The root of salt is Latin sal, from which words such as salad, salami (mid 20th century), saline (Late Middle English), and sauce derive. A person who is the salt of the earth is kind, reliable, and honest. The phrase comes from St Matthew's Gospel: 'Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?' The expression sit below the salt, 'to be of lower social standing', goes back to the days when formal dinners were more common and when a person's rank determined where they sat at the table. Long dining tables running the length of the room were the norm, and those of the highest rank sat at the top end of the table, with the others arranged in descending order of status along the remaining length. The salt cellar was usually placed halfway down, and so anyone sitting below it knew they were socially inferior. Salt cellar itself has nothing to do with dark underground storage places. The second element was originally saler, which meant 'salt box' on its own. It came through Old French from Latin salarium, which also gave us salary—a salarium was originally a Roman soldier's allowance of money to buy salt. As early as the 15th century people did not fully understand saler and added salt in front of it. Finally it became a complete mystery, and they substituted the familiar cellar ( see cell). Before the invention of the refrigerator food was salted, or treated with salt, to preserve it. This is the idea behind salting away money for future use, an expression that dates from the 1840s.

LAKE TAHOE - How humans reckon the passage of time stands in stark contrast to Lake Tahoe's timescale. Standing on the lake's shore, most of us have pondered at one time or another the incredible age of these prehistoric waters and scoured peaks. This is an ecosystem that prefers to respond in centuries, ages and epochs, a far cry from the quarterly reports and stock-ticker pace that currently shape our perception and expectations of progress. So the period in which the Regional Plan Update has taken shape may be nothing more than the splash of a pebble to Lake Tahoe, but I know it was a painstakingly long time for some of us mere mortals.
So many of you have given your time and input or followed the progress of the Regional Plan Update in the past few years. Whether you cheered or jeered the forward-thinking changes TRPA has proposed to Lake Tahoe's regulatory system, you can look forward to the next two months as the culmination of your ideas and contributions to the visioning, the workshops, the meetings, and the drafts.
On Oct. 24, TRPA will release a final draft of the plan and associated documents, rounding out the latest year of work to make focused updates to the Regional Plan that was first adopted in 1987.
Excitement surrounds this rollout in large part because this is the community's plan. From its roots in 2004 and 2005 when visioning workshops and place-based planning captured the input of thousands of citizens, the update has consistently been about the lake and our communities. If you have ever wondered whether we could coalesce around a collective vision for Tahoe, then this final draft is your plan.
Above all, if you would like a clearer, healthier Lake Tahoe and more bikeable, walkable communities, then this is your plan. We also heard from scores of residents that you wanted more sensible ways to manage land coverage, and it's in the plan. And it's also your plan if you want greater restoration of sensitive areas or more opportunities for a recreation-based economy.
Although it took many millennia to create the breathtaking beauty of this watershed, we learned the hard way that Lake Tahoe's pristine environment is not immune to rapid change. A poorly planned building boom that lasted only a few decades in the mid-1900s produced grave changes including a seemingly unstoppable loss of the lake's world-renowned clarity.
Over the ensuing 30 years, an average of one foot of lake clarity disappeared every year - a repercussion to Lake Tahoe far more significant than mere ripples. Under the 1987 Regional Plan and later the Environmental Improvement Program, the concerted actions of strong partnerships and advanced science halted the loss in lake clarity. The policies being released this month have been designed to provide the next quantum leap in Lake Tahoe's restoration and to ultimately reverse that loss in lake clarity while supporting our communities.
It has never been more important for your voice to be heard and for you to engage in the close of this process. Whether it is your first or your 40th TRPA meeting, plan on attending one of the public hearings below. Your vision is one step closer to becoming reality. More detail on these meetings and the easy-to-follow fact sheets on the plan updates are available at www.trpa.org.
-Joanne S. Marchetta is the executive director of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. — Dig out your disco pants and grab your dancing shoes, Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band is hitting the road this fall armed with a slew of national tour dates and a new album, "Re-Doing it Hard."
The six-piece powerhouse kick off a fall tour Sept. 12 in Charleston, S.C. with stops throughout the Southeast before making their way to the Sest Coast. The project will make a number of stops in key cities along the way including Athens, Asheville, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Francisco and on Friday, Sept. 28, the Crystal Bay Casino for a free Crown Room show.
Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band has been blowing the doors off packed clubs and large theaters alike with a unique brand of Nu-Funk music. Known for a fusion of old school funk, hip -hop, electronic music and a little rock and roll, the band is making large strides in 2012.
Performing well over 150 shows a year, and celebrating 10 years as a touring machine, "The Booty Band" fifth album was released Sept. 18. "Re-Doing it Hard" (a re-mix of the sophomore studio release "Doin' It Hard") features a number of guest DJs, musicians and covers a vast musical landscape. The album travels from heavy doses of hip-hop to trancy electro-lounge music while venturing into heavy club inspired dance tracks. Add in the incredibly sexy vocals of Mary Francis and Molly Kummerle, there is no telling what this six-piece project is capable of.

The Marietta Times
Banjo-slinger Steven Moore is coming to Washington State Community College for what promises to be a unique performance, according to Tanya Wilder, chair of WSCC's Evergreen Arts and Humanities Series.
"Steven's music includes both traditional and progressive bluegrass-there's something for all ages," she said. "And he's assembled a group of five top-notch talented people for this performance."
Twenty-year-old Moore, a Marietta College biochemistry major from Bethesda, Ohio, already has an impressive musical resume, as well as an impressive collection of instruments to go along with it, according to his website, stevenmoorebanjo.com.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Steven Moore and Friends concert for the 13th Evergreen Arts and Humanities Series.
Where: Washington State Community College Graham Auditorium in the Arts and Sciences Building.
When: 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday (Art exhibit prior to concert at 7 p.m.)
Tickets: Free to the public. Reserve in advance by calling 374-8176.
In 2011 he entered-and won-the Rockygrass Banjo Championship in Lyons, Colo., bringing home the top prize, which was a Deering Eagle II banjo.
Three years earlier, at age 17, Moore also took first place in the National Bluegrass Banjo Championships in Winfield, Kansas, where he selected an Ome Gold Odyssey Megatone Bluegrass banjo as his prize.
And in 2006, when he was just 15 years old, Moore placed third in the Walnut Valley Festival, also in Winfield, earning himself a nice Deering Black Diamond banjo.
Shortly after winning the 2011 Rockygrass competition, Moore was asked to make a recording for the Ome Banjo company.
"In my time around Lyons, Colo., I spent a lot of time in Boulder at Ome Banjos. Since I was in the area, I knew that I would have to stop by," he wrote on the website.
"That visit led to a few more visits, and before long, Chuck (founder and owner of Ome banjos) had asked if I'd be willing to record for them," Moore wrote. "After making arrangements, I found myself in a studio where I recorded tracks for a small CD called Ome Banjo Sounds. The CD features about seven of Ome's banjo models with me playing two or three songs on each model."
Moore has also recorded at least three CDs of his own, beginning with "Almost Famous-One Small Step" in 2006, followed by "Almost Famous-Past the Point of Rescue" in 2008 and "Almost Famous-One Step Closer" in 2009.
"There's a really good chance that the Graham Auditorium will be packed for this performance," Wilder said. "And I think this is be something we'll be talking about for some time afterward."
The event is free but tickets are required and are going fast, so Wilder encourages everyone to call immediately to reserve a seat.
"The concert starts at 8 p.m. but there will also be an opening reception winter quarter art exhibit by Amy Johnson and John Rossi at 7 p.m., prior to the performance," she said.

Careful discussion and thought can help you make a decision about whether or not to have knee or hip replacement surgery. Surgery may or may not be the right choice for you. A key step is to talk to your doctor about your quality of life and your goals for possibly having surgery. You may also read about the operation you're considering and talk to others with knee or hip problems.
The most common reason to have knee or hip replacement surgery is severe arthritis pain that limits your activities. Your doctor may recommend replacement surgery if:
Some people are more willing to accept the limits knee or hip pain places on them, and wait until the problem is severe. Others will want to have joint replacement surgery in order to continue with sports and other casual activities.
Most knee or hip replacements are done in people who are age 60 and older. However, many people who have this surgery are younger. When a knee or hip replacement is done, the new joint may wear out over time. This is more likely to occur in people with more active lifestyles or in those who will likely live longer. If a second joint replacement is needed in the future, it may not work as well as the first one.
For the most part, knee and hip replacement are elective procedures. This means these surgeries are done to provide relief for your pain, not for any other medical reason.
Delaying surgery should not make joint replacement less effective if you choose to have it in the future. However, if pain is preventing you from moving around well, your muscles around your joint may become weaker and your bones thinner. This may affect your recovery time once you do have replacement surgery.
Your doctor may recommend against knee or hip replacement surgery if you have any of the following issues:

OAKLAND -- Theirs is an increasingly recognized tale of remarkable rookies and surprising sluggers and postgame victory pies, of weird and wild young men on a daredevil dance to the incredible.
But the final regular-season miracle of the Bernie Bunch A's was delivered this week by the beasts from the bullpen.
Unsung vagabonds from across the baseball map as well as the globe itself, five Oakland relievers recorded the final 19 outs Wednesday afternoon to lock up a 12-5 win over Texas, sweeping the three-game series and sealing the A.L. West title for the A's.
It was the A's bullpen that turned a jam-packed Oakland Coliseum into a House of Horrors for the potent Rangers lineup. Texas failed to score a single run off the bullpen this week, which sends a powerful message to Oakland's next opponent.
Better get us early, because our 'pen brings plenty of gas and fury.
"It's almost a feeling of if our starters can get us through six, then it's on to (Sean) Doolittle, (Ryan) Cook and (Grant) Balfour to finish 'em off," pitching coach Curt Young said.
When A's starter A.J. Griffin needed 70 pitches to get eight outs -- giving up five runs along the way -- manager Bob Melvin replaced him in the third inning with Evan Scribner. Scribner's three scoreless innings led to Jerry Blevins getting a key out, followed by one scoreless inning each by Cook, Doolittle and Balfour.
"Bobby's perfect timing in getting Scribner, and Scribner's coming in and doing what he did, is really what turned this game around," general manager Billy Beane said.
With the 'pen silencing the Rangers, Oakland's offense awakened in the fourth, scoring six runs to turn a 5-1 deficit into a 7-5 lead. The final five innings were an exhibition of power arms and offensive garnish, with Balfour firing a perfect, 11-pitch ninth for his 18th consecutive save.
"There's nobody else I'd rather have on the mound in the ninth inning -- nobody," Blevins said of the A's closer.
But it's not just the ninth inning. It's been, for the most part, a dazzling procession of outs produced in the seventh and eighth and ninth. It's gaining such momentum it has become a formula.
The left-hander Blevins, 29, is used almost exclusively against tough left-handed batters; he struck out slugger Josh Hamilton to end the sixth. Rookie southpaw Doolittle, 26, a converted first baseman, throws smoke at anybody stepping into the batter's box. Cook, the 25-year-old rookie who represented the team at the All-Star game, mixes his fastball with a wicked slider. Balfour, 34, relies mostly on adrenaline, nerve and high-octane gas.
"It's like family," Cook said. "We're close-knit and resilient and badass."
Collectively, they've been lethal. Oakland's bullpen has not been scored upon in 221/3 innings over the past five games and has allowed 22 hits over its last 392/3. It's doing this without a decorated veteran or even a distinguished leader.
The closest thing to that is Balfour, the Australian now with his fifth big-league organization. A walking stick of dynamite, he has spent this week being energized and ignited by boisterous A's fans.
The result in the three biggest games of the season was three dominating saves, the last of which was punctuated by a fist pump followed by a celebration on the field and in the clubhouse.
Beane said Balfour went to Melvin before the game and told the manager he and everybody else in the 'pen would be available, damn the fatigue. Melvin said he tried and failed to get Balfour to sit down before the ninth.
The way these guys are pitching, let them follow their instincts. Let them stand on their heads in the dugout, if they want, because that's what they're doing on the mound.
"Our bullpen is nails right now," third baseman Josh Donaldson said.
"We've mixed and matched with a bunch of guys through the year," Blevins said. "But we've come together really well over the past month or so. And we know a good bullpen can be the backbone of a good team."
That's where the A's are as they enter the American League Division Series. They're hitting when they need to and pitching because they can. And when the starters fail, the 'pen rides to the rescue.
"It's worked out like that over the last month," Beane said. "And now other teams know it, too."
Billy then cited the Mariano Rivera effect, how his presence all these years in the New York Yankees bullpen has intimidated opposing teams and managers. The G.M. cited the "Nasty Boys" bullpen of the Cincinnati Reds, who squelched the A's in the 1990 World Series.
Beane's point was clear: A terrific bullpen can demoralize, be a difference-maker. It surely was this week for the A's.
Oakland's 'pen doesn't command huge salaries, and they don't need gaudy presentation. They just come in, throw hard and dare you to believe what you're seeing.

A voter ID law is stirring up controversy around the state, and soon the debate may go national.
With Georgia's primary just a week away, the NAACP met with some local candidates, hoping to find a solution to a political problem.
The idea of the federal Voter Rights Act is "one person, one vote"...but now, with Georgia's controversial voter ID law in limbo, some local leaders are concerned.
"Georgia is the only state doesn't have full support from Republican Party on the Voter Rights Act," said Dr. Charles Smith, president of the Augusta NAACP.
A federal judge will hear the argument to block a Georgia law requiring voters to show photo ID's before casting a ballot.
"Please do not allow this to be taken away from us," Dr. Smith said. "Do your part."
Even as a state court considers the issue and national lawmakers weigh the future of the Voting Rights Act, critics want to stop it, calling it unconstitutional and saying it affects Georgia's elderly, low-income and minority voters.
"It's no coincidence Georgia would attempt to place a restriction like that on our voters," said Rep. Quincy Murphy. "We must continue to fight it."
The hearing comes less than a week before the July 18 state primary, the first time the new voter ID law could apply.
"These are critical times for our community and for our state, and the most important thing we can do is turn out for the elections," said Barbara Gordon.
The forum featured candidates running for state office such as Wayne Howard, Quincy Murphy, and Richard Colclough.
State senators Ed Tarver and Gloria Frazier were also in attendance.
The forum covered topics like education, voter empowerment, voter participation and community concerns.

Disclaimer: This is a personal weblog. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer.
My next few posts will cover my journey into the world of metabolism courtesy of New Leaf Fitness. New Leaf partners are trained to use sophisticated New Leaf metabolic testing equipment to assess your body's metabolism. There are two parts to the testing: resting metabolic rate (RMR) and an assessment of your metabolic rate during exercise. Why is this important to your training? New Leaf has a nice write-up called Why Motabolism Matters.
Jason D. listening to instructions during his New Leaf Exercise Metabolic Test
My main interest in a metabolic assessment is weight loss. Despite training for several marathons the last two years, my weight is not where I would like it to be. How many people have you heard say that they don't lose weight during marathon training? I'm sure there are many reasons why. One reason is that we tend to train in heart rate zones 3 and 4 in which your body burns more carbohydrates than fats.Your body burns the most fat in heart rate zone 1.
The New Leaf exercise metabolic rate test gives you the precise boundaries of your individual heart rate zones, your maximum heart rate, your aerobic base, and your anaerobic threshold. Aerobic Base (AB) is the corresponding heart rate whereby your body is burning 50:50 fat/carbohydrate as fuel for your workout. Anaerobic Threshold (AT) is the corresponding heart rate threshold whereby fat utilization significantly decreases and carbohydrate utilization significantly increases due to the shift to anaerobic metabolism. It is possible to raise your AB, and in so doing increase your fuel supply for endurance events by burning fat longer. I'll delve into that topic in a later post.
Claudette keeps a watchful eye during DaShaun C.'s New Leaf Exercise Metabolic Test
Four members of my team at Garmin had our exercise metabolic rate measured last week by Claudette S, a member of the Garmin Fitness Team trained on New Leaf metabolic testing equipment. This test gave us our individual heart rate zones (mine is shown below), AB, AT, maximum heart rate and VO2 Max. Each of our heart rate zones varied greatly. Sadly, mine are the least impressive results of the bunch. Our CO2 maximums were also varied. They ranged from mine, 39, to Joe H., in the mid sixties. Joe ran Twin Cities in 2:50ish. By comparison, Lance Armstrong has a VO2 max of 85.
My Personal Heart Rate Zones from the eNewLeaf Site
Tomorrow I am having my resting metabolic rate tested by my chiropractor, Tom Teter, at Synergy Health and Wellness, a New Leaf partner. That test will give me a precise calorie goal to target each day. Together with my exercise metabolic rate results, that is all the information I need to achieve my weight loss goals without taking away from my marathon training.
My New Leaf heart rate zone training will be seperate workouts done on my treadmill or bike trainer. That's in addition to my normal marathon training provided by Coach Eladio Valdez of Runners Edge. Why? Because my heart rate is too high during running. I did a test on my run into Garmin this morning. My zone 1 range, where I burn the most fat, is from 106 - 115 bpm. While running my average heart rate may be as high as 170 bpm.
This morning I decided to see if I could keep my heart rate under 160 bpm no matter how slow I had to run. The result was an intolerably slow jog with an average pace of 12:26/mile. That was an exercise in futility because at 160 bpm I'm well into zone 3 and my fat burning is quite low. Of course, running will lead to weight loss if you consume less calories than you burn, but exercising at a lower heart rate will burn fat more efficiently.
Claudette smiles for the camera as I take my New Leaf Exercise Metabolic Test
My plan is to to alternate between my treadmill and my cycle trainer following the workouts provided by New Leaf. These workoust are primarily in zones 1 and 2. Not only will they burn more fat than my runs, but over time they will raise my AB to improve my endurance.
The most important pieces of equipment for these workouts will be my Garmin Forerunner and my Garmin heart rate monitor. In addition, for the treadmill I purchased a Garmin foot pod. For the bike I purchased a Garmin cadence sensor. Together, these accessories should give my all the telemetric data I could want about my New Leaf workouts. That being said, I am disappointed that my primary devices, a Forerunner 210 and Edge 800, are not compatible with the New Life site. Instead, I will need to use the Garmin Forerunner 305 that I purchased before joining Garmin. Nevertheless, my Forerunner 305 will do just fine for the New Leaf program.
My next post will cover my first treadmill and bike trainer activities using workouts downloaded from eNewLeaf.com

The educational philosophy that drives our fellowship training program is that we must prepare our trainees for a life-long career of self-education and dedication to the practice of pathology at the forefront of the specialty as it advances. We seek to provide each fellow with a sufficiently broad experience that he or she will be prepared to pursue a career in the general practice of pathology or an academic career. The faculty is committed to the philosophy that clinical acumen and diagnostic excellence cannot occur without expert teaching and supervision. Our fellows complete our training program with confidence in their knowledge and abilities, an awareness of where pathology is now and where it is going, and the tools to participate fully in its exciting future.

We Are a First-rate Hospital
The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is a state-of-the-art facility. We have sophisticated services and comprehensive resources. We are one of "America's Best Hospitals" designated by U.S. News & World Report. We serve a large Midwest region for both primary care and specialized care. We are the state's highest level of referral for several specialties. This comprehensive nature assures that during your fellowship you will be exposed to a broad mix of patients and conditions.
Collegiality and Friendly Working / Living Environment
Of the many strengths that contribute to our program's strong reputation, one of the greatest is its long history of collegiality and its friendly working and living environment. For many years the Department has enjoyed the reputation of being a pleasant and congenial place to work. We value this reputation because we believe that the best atmosphere for learning pathology is one that is friendly and supportive. Faculty are committed to teaching, enjoy working with the fellows and welcome their questions and ideas. We believe this approach to resident and fellowship training keeps the University of Iowa Department of Pathology at the forefront of postgraduate education.
Salary, Benefits, Schedules
Our first-year fellows have a competitive stipend which is above the 50th percentile nationally. Couple that fact with the relatively modest cost of living in the Iowa City area, and UI Hospitals and Clinics compares very well to programs in large urban settings. We are one of the few programs nationally to offer complete medical coverage for fellows and their spouses and dependents at no charge. Our work schedules include extended maternity leave benefits and meet national standards for time on duty and time off between shifts.
Our Fellowship Programs Are Accredited and Well-Established
We meet and exceed the standards set by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The rigorous training and opportunities afforded by our program translate into outstanding academic opportunities and private practice positions.
We Sweat the Details
The dedicated professionals in our Graduate Medical Education office see to it that your time and effort are concentrated where they need to be--on your clinical work and on your career development. Your work as a fellow will be demanding enough. With that in mind, our Graduate Medical Education office has developed a suite of services to handle the details of employment and licensure.
Quality of Life
Pathology Resident and Fellow Welcome Picnic
Iowa City and surrounding communities get consistently high ratings from national indexes of great places to live. Affordable housing, outstanding schools, moderate cost of living, superb shopping and entertainment, excellent transportation, and a mix of diverse cultures all make it a great choice, especially when you consider that much of it is available within easy walking or biking distance from our world-class hospital.
Being located on a Big Ten University campus creates a big plus for our fellows. The University is a lively place for cultural and recreational activities. It is a hub for high-level sports and offers the excellent libraries, museums, and cultural centers you'd expect from a Big Ten school. Iowa has the smallest enrollment among the public Big Ten schools, which translates into a campus that's easy to navigate and a surrounding community that supports everything we do for our students and trainees.
