More than 230 youth racers are set to compete at the Frisco Nordic Center in this weekend's Summit Nordic Ski Club-hosted race.
The teams hail from around the Rocky Mountain Region, who are vying for top finishes as the region seeks its best skiers to make up the national team to compete at Junior National Championships at the end of March in Fairbanks, Alaska.
At Frisco's U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association-sanctioned race - which was moved last-minute from Eldora Mountain on the Front Range - racers will come from Boulder, Steamboat, Aspen, Summit, Durango, Vail, Crested Butte and Gunnison club programs.
Today's classic race will be a mass start, with athletes seeded based on USSA points.
"There's organization behind it, but it's also very exciting," Summit Nordic Ski Club president Dan McCrerey said.
Saturday's skate race will have an interval start, where the start is signaled by a series of beeps and the racer tips the wand to start the clock.
Different age groups race different course lengths, with the older athletes vying for spots on the nationals team.
Last year, Summit sent seven racers to nationals. This year, McCrerey and coach Joe Howdyshell hope for eight or nine.
With the loss of Tucker McCrerey on the boys' team, Howdyshell saw a big questionmark at the start of this season. Since then, that questionmark has turned to an exclamation point, as the up-and-coming boys are rallying for top finishes across the board.
Howdyshell's highlight is the Soldier Hollow race, which was in Utah at the start of the year. Teams from Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico attended the super qualifier. In the 14-15 age group, Henry Trowbridge finished first. Among the 16-19 year old boys, Jackson Hill was fifth and 16-year-old Cameron Bobb was 11th out of more than 130 racers.
"For Jackson, that's a pretty good race, but Cameron is 16 and it's a 16-19 age class," Howdyshell said. "That was an awesome, awesome race for him."
Meanwhile, the girls' team, which has lagged in recent years, may see an uptick with the presence of Tucker's younger sister, Taeler McCrerey.
The sophomore edged out Aspen's Hailey Swirbul in Soldier Hollow to win the 14-15 age group out of 97 finishers. Interestingly, Swirbul beat McCrerey in Grand County at the Colorado State High School State Championships.
"That's one of the closest races I've ever seen. The race isn't over until you say it's over," Howdyshell said of the Soldier Hollow race.
Freshman Ruthie Boyd finished 11th in the same event.
Soldier Hollow was the team's second race of the season, following one in Vail. Frisco's race will be followed by one in Durango in a week - and then the national team will be determined.
Howdyshell said there are a few extra slots on the team - 59 can go - due to ideal finishes in past races.
"Last year, we had an amazing Junior National (Championship)," Howdyshell said. "Out of 150 teams that qualified athletes, the boys' team was ranked second. With the loss of Tucker, I wasn't sure we'd be able to hold that this year, but Jackson, Cameron and Henry may give us a chance to finish in the top three in the country on the boys side."
Registration is closed for this weekend races, but spectators are still welcome. Start lists are available at www.fourcornerstiming.com. Today, the stadium is at the Frisco Nordic Center lodge. On Saturday, it's at the corner of Recreation Way and Crown Point Road.
Parking is limited at the Nordic center. Only team vans will be able to park close to the stadium on Saturday. Primary parking for Saturday will be across the highway in the St. Anthony Summit Medical Center parking lot with attendants stationed to assist.
Spectators wishing to ski must pay for a trail pass at the Frisco Nordic Center.

Did you know that 1 in 6 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime?
Here at BookRenter, we feel strongly about supporting important causes. From donating a book to First Book for every online order to wearing pink bracelets in support of breast cancer awareness last month, BookRenter cares. This month, we've set our sights on Movember.
Movember is an organization that raises awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically cancers affecting men. Movember directly partners with the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG. Throughout the month of November, many of the men of BookRenter (known affectionately as "Mo Bros") will be growing a moustache and raising funds with pledges of support. Keeping a stiff upper lip as well are the "Mo Sistas," women will be sporting fake moustaches to join in the fun for the cause.
Paolo Resmini, a senior software engineer at BookRenter, is leading this effort. He says, "It's good to follow up breast cancer awareness month with initiatives focused on men's health." Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in men and BookRenter wants to help bring awareness. "Plus," Resmini added, "Any excuse to grow a moustache is a good thing too!"
You can join BookRenter's national team by clicking this link and registering today! Stay tuned for "Moustashe Monday's" this month, and of course, the "Best Moustashe" winner sometime around December 1st!

Grier watches Toreros fall to Gonzaga
SPOKANE , Wash. In his 16 years as an assistant here, Bill Grier had a front-row seat to watch any number of outstanding Gonzaga men's basketball teams.
"This is the best one," he said Saturday.
That was his opinion even before the third-ranked Bulldogs reaffirmed it with a 81-50 rout of Grier's USD Toreros, clinching at least a tie for the West Coast Conference regular-season championship and the No. 1 seed in the league's postseason tournament.
It also concluded a disappointing Northwest swing for the Toreros (13-16, 6-8 WCC) that began Thursday at Portland with a missed opportunity to take a step toward a .500 season.
This one was a bitter reversal of a meeting with the Zags in San Diego, where the Toreros had a shot to win at the buzzer.
"I'm sure they wanted to come out and send a message early," said USD senior Chris Manresa. "That's what they usually do in this building. I just wish we would have fought back harder."
It took less than eight minutes for the Bulldogs (27-2, 14-0) to build a 17-6 lead that never again dipped under double digits, and the attack came from all angles: rim-rocking dunks by Elias Harris, transition drives by Kevin Pangos (who led the Zags with 18 points) and Gary Bell and 3-pointers by Harris and 7-foot Kelly Olynyk.
The Toreros' offense had but one dimension: Manresa, who scored 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting and a knack for getting to the foul line against Gonzaga's talented big men, but had no help from the perimeter.
That included leading scorer Johnny Dee managing just six shots and four points while being hounded by Bell.
"Early, we had some good looks that didn't go down and I think our guys got really frustrated," said Grier, whose USD teams are winless in six tries at the McCarthey Athletic Center. "We lost all semblance of what we were trying to do.
"When you take a quick one against this team, they're laying it in or dunking it at the other end. They hurt us big time in transition, but a lot of that had to do with their defense and our offense."
Gonzaga shot 57.7 percent from the field in the first half, which ended with the Zags up 37-23, and blew open the game by making nine of their first 10 attempts after intermission.
But the Bulldogs were even more efficient on the other end. USD shot just 29 percent in the second half and 36 percent for the game — the fifth straight opponent Gonzaga has held under 37 percent. And after outrebounding Gonzaga by six in San Diego, the Toreros were crushed on the glass, 38-22.
"I thought we did an unbelievable job sticking to our assignments," said Gonzaga coach Mark Few, "and playing with great energy to finish off possessions."
That was particularly evident in a 17-2 surge five minutes into the second, during which the Toreros turned the ball over three times, had two shots blocked and missed three rushed 3-pointers.
Manresa was disappointed the Toreros didn't muster more aggression in "such a great basketball environment."
"It was the last time for me to play in this building," he said, "so why not be aggressive and go at them? Big crowd, big emotion — that's what college basketball is all about. It should give you energy, but we didn't match theirs."

Throughout his life, Kent Bagnall has had a passion for two things. One is art and the other is Route 66. Those two interests have come together recently in the form of a life-size mural on the side of his jewelry store at 10th and Pine streets.
"All my life I have lived within about one mile of Route 66, whether that has been in St. Louis, Rolla or Springfield, Mo.," said Bagnall. "I am not sure if I've been following Route 66 or it's been following me."
The man behind the mural is longtime Cape Girardeau artist Craig Thomas.
"I have always liked Route 66 as well," he said. "Many years ago I biked from Chicago to St. Louis traveling on old Route 66 throughout Illinois."
Thomas began painting Thursday, June 13, and expects to finish up by the end of this week.

3.4-7 Damages - Wrongful Death
Revised to January 1, 2008
I want to discuss the laws
pertaining to damages. I will address our general rules and then I
will discuss the specific laws relating to a wrongful death case.
As you know, this case is
captioned <name> v. <name>. (Mr./Ms.) <name of
plaintiff>, while labeled the plaintiff, is the (executor /
administrator) of the decedent <name of decedent>'s estate;
the estate is the actual plaintiff in this case. Any damages
awarded in this case would go to the estate and not simply to
(Mr./Ms.) <name of plaintiff>.
The General Rules
of Damages
Insofar as money can do
it, a plaintiff is to receive fair, just and reasonable compensation
for all injuries and losses, past and future, which are legally
caused by the defendant's proven negligence. Under this rule, the
purpose of an award of damages is not to punish or penalize the
defendant for (his/her) negligence but to compensate the plaintiff,
and in this case the estate, for the decedent's resulting injuries
and losses.
Our laws impose certain
rules to govern the award of damages. The plaintiff has the burden
of proving (his/her) entitlement to recover damages by a fair
preponderance of the evidence. The plaintiff must prove both the
nature and extent of each particular loss or injury for which
(he/she) seeks to recover damages and that the loss or injury in
question was legally caused by the defendant's negligence. You may
not guess or speculate as to the nature or extent of the plaintiff's
decedent's losses or injuries. Your decision must be based on
reasonable probabilities in light of the evidence presented at
Once the plaintiff has
proved the nature and extent of the decedent's compensable injuries
and losses, it becomes your job to determine what is fair, just and
reasonable compensation for those injuries and losses. Some
determinations require a mathematical calculation; others involve
the use of human experience and the application of sound common
In a personal injury
action, which includes a wrongful death action, there are two
general types of damages with which you must be concerned: economic
and noneconomic damages. Economic damages are monies awarded as
compensation for monetary losses and expenses which have been
incurred as a result of the defendant's negligence. They are
awarded for such things as the cost of reasonable and necessary
medical care and lost earnings. Noneconomic damages are monies
awarded as compensation for non-monetary losses and injuries which
the plaintiff's decedent has suffered as a result of the defendant's
negligence. They are awarded for such things as physical pain and
suffering and the destruction of the ability to enjoy life's
Wrongful Death
We have a statute that
governs damages in cases such as this where there is a death. It
allows for just damages which includes:
Economic damages of:
1) the reasonable and necessary medical and funeral expenses and
2) the value of the decedent's lost earning capacity less deductions
for (his/her) necessary living expenses taking into consideration
that a present cash payment will be made and
Noneconomic damages of:
3) compensation for the destruction of the decedent's capacity to
carry on and enjoy life's activities in a way that (he/she) would
have done had (he/she) lived and,
4) compensation for the death itself, or
5) pain and suffering.
[The statute also allows
damages for pain and suffering; however, due to the instantaneous
death of (Mr./Ms.) <name of decedent> there is no claim made
for pain and suffering.]
I will now instruct you on
economic damages.
1. Reasonable and
Necessary Medical and Funeral Expenses
You may award damages for
the reasonable and necessary medical, funeral and burial expenses.
The plaintiff is entitled to recover the reasonable value of medical
care and expenses incurred for the treatment of injuries sustained
by the decedent as a result of the defendant's negligence. The
plaintiff must prove that the expenses (he/she) claims were
reasonably necessary and legally caused by the defendant's
2. Destruction of
Earning Capacity
The destruction of earning
capacity, that is, the capacity to carry on the particular activity
of earning money, may be compensated. First, we address the
probable net earnings, in the ordinary sense of that phrase, during
the decedent's probable lifetime.
In measuring the
compensation for the destruction of (Mr./Ms.) <name of decedent>'s
earning capacity over (his/her) probable lifetime, it is proper for
you to consider the salary or wages (Mr./Ms.) <name of decedent>
had been earning before the injury which caused (his/her) death.
This is not conclusive evidence; yet, it is evidence of the value of
(his/her) earning capacity. It is likewise proper for you to
consider (his/her) general experience as a wage earner and (his/her)
qualifications for conducting a gainful occupation. Necessarily,
the damages would be limited to that period of time which you find
would have been (Mr./Ms.) <name of decedent>'s length of
life had (he/she) not died.
Next, you should
understand that the probable income taxes must be deducted from
(his/her) probable lifetime earnings to get any fair or proper basis
for assessing reasonable compensation for the loss caused by the
destruction of (his/her) earning capacity. For all practical
purposes, the only usable earnings are net earnings after payment of
such taxes.
[<If expert testimony
was offered on economic loss:> You may recall the testimony of
<name of expert> who described (his/her) formula in reducing
to present value lost earnings over the decedent's working
lifetime. (He/She) estimated what the wages would have been had the
decedent lived to work from age___ through age ___.]
Next, the probable cost of
future personal living expenses must also be deducted from an award
of reasonable compensation for the total destruction of (his/her)
earning capacity. The phrase "personal living expenses" refers to
those personal expenses that would have been reasonably necessary
for (him/her) to spend to maintain (his/her) lifestyle in order to
keep (himself/herself) in such a condition of health and well-being
that (he/she) could enjoy life's activities before (his/her) death.
Accordingly, in
determining the loss to the plaintiff, you must subtract probable
income taxes and necessary personal living expenses.
Now I will instruct you on
noneconomic damages.
3. Destruction of
Capacity to Enjoy Life's Activities
Damages are also allowed
for the destruction of (Mr./Ms.) <name of decedent>'s
capacity to enjoy life's activities.
Evidence has been
presented as to those incidents of life that (Mr./Ms.) <name of
decedent> enjoyed, including family, work, sports, recreation
and other aspects of life. You may consider those areas in
connection with this claim and award damages for this loss.
4. Compensation for
the Death Itself
The rule is that insofar
as money can do it, the plaintiff may be awarded fair, just and
reasonable compensation for the loss of life. As in the other
categories of damages, there is no precise mathematical formula for
a jury to apply.
5. Pain and
<In the event the death was not
instantaneous, see relevant portions of
Damages - General, Instruction 3.4-1>
Loss of Consortium
Damages - Loss of Consortium, Instruction 3.4-3 where
Double or Treble
Damages, General Statutes § 14-295
Damages - Double or Treble, Instruction 3.4-2 where applicable.>
General Statutes §
52-555; General Statutes § 52-555a; General Statutes § 52-572 (a)
and (f); Carrano v. Yale-New Haven Hospital, 279 Conn. 622,
650-51 (2006); Katsetos v. Nolan, 170 Conn. 637, 657, 659
(1976); Floyd v. Fruit Industries, Inc., 144 Conn. 659,
669-76 (1957); Tesler v. Johnson, 23 Conn. App. 536, 541-42
(1990), cert. denied, 217 Conn. 806 (1991).
"Personal living
expenses" do not include recreational expenses, nor that proportion
of living expenses properly allocable to the furnishing of food and
shelter to members of the decedent's family other than himself.
Carrano v. Yale-New Haven Hospital, 279 Conn. 622, 651 (2006).

"Meniskus - isn't that some kind of knee injury?" the Denver-based band, Meniskus, hears often when playing Summit County, drummer Cris Ryt said.
"I think it's because everyone up here knows someone who's had a knee surgery, and they forget about what they learned in high school chemistry about the surface of liquids in a vessel," Ryt said. In fact, the name takes its inspiration from some overfilled margarita glasses.
Regardless of the etymology, the trio has amassed a solid following across Colorado, including the High Country. Though they've played at Red Rocks, the Pepsi Center and even shows in Europe, the three band members agree that The Snake River Saloon, 23074 Hwy. 6 in Keystone, remains one of their favorite venues.
"There's always an awesome crowd at The Snake," said the Venezuelan-born guitarist, Bardusco. "People up here love to dance, and we feed off that energy. It's a great night every time we come up here."
Lead singer and violinist Eric Ostberg described the group's music as having a lot of global influences, from Latin to Arabic, "but at its heart, it's rock. Let's call it global dance rock."
Meniskus will play at 9:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday at the Snake. Admission is $5. Info: www.meniskusband.com and www.snakeriversaloon.com.

NEW DELHI -- The body of a young woman who was raped in New Delhi this month by several men in a moving bus was brought home Sunday, a day after the police said that six men accused of attacking her had been charged with murder.
Airport security sources said the plane arrived from Singapore in the cargo area of Indira Gandhi International Airport at 4:15 a.m. Sunday and that the body was whisked away through the old domestic terminal. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi, president of the governing Congress party, received the body along with senior police officials amid growing public pressure on the government machinery.
The 23-year-old victim was cremated at a private ceremony in southwest New Delhi, the local news media reported. In attendance at the ceremony, which was closed to the news media, were family, friends and a handful of politicians. Sheila Dikshit, the chief minister of Delhi, who had been booed away by protesters on Saturday, was spotted leaving the crematorium, a Reuters report said. There was heavy police deployment during the funeral.
On Saturday a police spokesman, Rajan Bhagat, said that the six men would be charged with murder. If convicted, they could face the death penalty in the Dec. 16 attack, which shocked India because of its savagery, led to violent protests and prompted demands for improved protection for women as well as calls for the death penalty in rape cases.
The country's Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that the death penalty should be used only in the "rarest of rare" cases, and fewer than 50 people have been executed since India's independence in 1947.
The woman, who has not been identified, has become a symbol for the treatment of women in India, where rape is common and conviction rates for the crime are low. She boarded a bus with a male friend after watching a movie at a mall, and was raped and attacked with an iron rod by the men, who the police later said had been drinking and were on a "joy ride."
She died Saturday morning in Singapore, where she had been flown for treatment for the severe internal injuries caused by the assault.
She had an infection in her lungs and abdomen, liver damage and a brain injury, the Singapore hospital said, and died from organ failure.
Her body was flown back to India on Saturday.
As news of her death spread Saturday, India's young, social-network-using population began to organize protests and candlelight vigils in places like the western city of Cochin in Kerala, the outsourcing hub of Bangalore and New Delhi, the capital. Just a tiny sliver of India's population can afford a computer or has access to the Internet, but the young, educated subset of this group has become increasingly galvanized over the New Delhi rape case.

Few tips For the CPA Exam day
If you are among the many candidates taking the CPA Exam for the first time, you might be feeling anxious, tense, and apprehensive and a whole lot of emotions, all at one time. A few tips might be a big help in giving you the confidence and help you sail smoothly through this day. These five tips, will be of a great help so that you appear for this exam without any nervousness.
- Preparatory Material Reviewing
It has been found out that the biggest mistake made by students who appear for this test is not going through the material which is designed specifically for this test like Wiley CPA. They seem to go through everything else except what matters. It is important for a candidate to go through the Candidate Bulletin , The NTS (Notice to Schedule) , the Test Centre Regulation Form besides the directions given on the screen during the exam. This candidate bulletin can give you all the information on the different types of identification you are supposed to carry with you besides helping you work through the examination screens which are introductory, besides the break policy for the exam and a lot more. The NTS gives you the required instructions for the test day.
- Leave Well Before Time for Reaching your Test Centre
We all know that by chance if we are late we seem to get more delayed because of traffic issues on your way to the examination centre. Since your examination is important, you need to make sure you leave for the center well ahead of time, so that you do not need to rush and have enough spare time when you reach there. You are supposed to be at the Centre 30 minutes before the scheduled time of the examination. This gives you time to clarify any concerns or queries you might have with the authorities. Your confirmation notice includes not only the time for your exam but an additional 30 minutes, which you require for getting scanned besides signing in and any other formality required.
- Wastage of Time
According to the Wiley Learning Company, the biggest way candidates waste time is they take too long to go through multiple choice questions. Make sure you proceed to the introductory screens immediately once you have entered your launch code. Read the screens carefully and make sure you complete the survey once you are done with your exams. Do not waste time making notes as this definitely works negatively and only wastes your time.
- Report issues, if any, Without any Delay
There might be a possibility of you facing technical issues while taking the exam, it is better not to waste time and report the same immediately. Once notified, the staff is able to stop the exam clock immediately and rectify the problem immediately.
- NASBA's Candidate Care Department
Even after you have finished your exam and you may feel that your performance is restricted due to the circumstances created by the test administration. You may have some concerns or questions about the test. In such situations, you have the freedom of reporting this to the NASBA's Candidate Care Department. You need to make sure you report this within a time span of five days once you have taken the exam. You need to file an official complaint. There is also a number of tips for passing the CPA exam in the CPAexcel review study materials.

It's a mobile office for law enforcement, and it could be changing lanes.
The Dodge Charger is making a name for itself in the law enforcement game, giving the Crown Victoria a run for its money.
Since the 1970's the Crown Vic has patrolled Georgia's highways, but now, troopers are test-driving another option.
One local sheriff's department already has its hands on a Dodge Charger, and deputies in Lincolnton could be setting the bar for state troopers.
"Of course one thing you'll find out in law enforcement - even grown men like toys."
And this one's as wild as a ram, with speeds of up to 160 miles per hour.
"Our quickness is really a difference of life and death along with the EMT's."
And the state of Georgia knows that.
It's why, come summer, Georgia troopers will be test-driving the same car that recently finished first at the Golden Corral 500.
The Lincoln Co. Sheriff's Dept. is one of the first local departments to have a Dodge Charger in its fleet. Their Charger is only a week old.
Chief Deputy Marcy Remsen is a former state trooper and he's revved up, glad to see a company that for thirty years has taken a backseat to Ford's Crown Victoria making an accelerated return.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and them knowing you have something that's capable of running 'em," Chief Remsen says.
Deputy Bill Bass likes the idea of trading in the department's Crown Vics, some with well over 200,000 miles.
"That's what I got to live in for twelve hours a day so it's important to have you a nice one," Bass says.
And it's perhaps just as important holding the key to what could make for a smoother ride tomorrow.
These deputies are very proud to be leading the pack. They've even driven their Charger down the road to brag a little bit to the state troopers in Thomson.
Dodge has had to make some changes to the car to accommodate police. They have to mount emergency equipment into places it wouldn't normally be...but Dodge is making it work.

The dream of a young Irish man to serve in the U.S. Army was whipped away from him in a scandalous act of lies and deceit last summer when he arrived in New Jersey to begin his military career.
Dean O'Neill, 17, from Drogheda, Co. Louth, wants to join the U.S. Army. It's been a burning desire since he was a little boy.
"I always looked at the U.S. Army as a giant family, full of brothers and sisters who all work together," Dean told the Irish Voice from his home last week.
Dean said he was affected by the happenings of 9/11, and although he was a young boy at the time he felt a deep calling to be part of the U.S. military.
"What happened at 9/11 really shocked and upset me and I wanted to help. I wanted to bring the people who caused this to justice. I remember giving my pocket money to our local firemen to send over to the FDNY," said Dean.
Dean, an only child who lives with his father, James O'Neill, is in his final year of high school in Ireland. He has planned and researched his move to the U.S. to join the army for many years.
However, he kept running into the same issue – the rules state that you must be a citizen or a green card holder to join the U.S. Army.
Dean wasn't willing to give up, though, and hope came floating his way in 2008. He found himself sitting before a Marine at the U.S. Embassy in Dublin seeking information on how to join the army.
"I was advised a military summer camp might be a positive step towards my dream," he said.
Dean's overwhelming desire to be part of the army family led him to a website in the U.S. advertising a cadet camp in Toms River, New Jersey -- Cedar Bridge Military Academy -- that was willing to allow him to attend a five-week military training course.
The president of the camp, Steven Baryla, promised the young Irish man he would write him a glowing reference that would bypass the entry laws, allowing Dean to serve the country he always dreamed about.
"I came cross Cedar Bridge Military Academy. It looked to be the business for me, close to New York/New Jersey and easy to fly into, so we took it from there," he says.
The Irish teen was ecstatic. "It was like a dream come true for me," he said.
Dean's father James immediately contacted Baryla, the man who described himself at ex-U.S. Army member who now ran the camp.
"I believed everything this man told us," said O'Neill.
"He told me my son would learn so much from his camp, that he himself was ex-military. He even said he could get Dean into the army without a green card. That he could write him a reference and if he wanted he could get him into West Point College," shares O'Neill.
Baryla also said that under the "international soldiers program" Dean could qualify to be part of the army.
"This was one of his lies. It was the one that hurt me the most," said Dean.
Dean's father paid Baryla $3,310 for a five week course that was due to take place last summer. He was told to purchase the required uniforms himself, pay for his flights, health insurance, medical background and provide his own spending money.
Overall, O'Neill said they raised and spent close to $10,000 to send Dean to the camp.
"We had to use all our savings, plus I sold many of my own things together, like my Xbox, all my games, TV even my computer and a host of other stuff to the pay for it all," added the young Irish man.
Late June, Dean was ready to start on the road to what hoped would be eventual induction into the U.S. Army.
He set off to New Jersey from Dublin. He spent a few days with his uncle who lives in New Jersey before he was due to begin his cadet camp. He was overly excited.
"I couldn't wait to get started. What I always dreamed about was about to come true," he said.
The day before Dean was due to begin his course he got a call that devastated him to the core.
The Ocean County Police Department told him the camp had been shut down and that the organizer, Baryla, was arrested on charges of distributing child pornography, impersonating a military officer and fraud.
"At first I thought it was a joke, that my father had set someone up to do it as a laugh, but when I realized it was for real I was just shocked. I was scared, heartbroken and most of all anger for being lied too. I felt betrayed," Dean said.
Trying to come to terms with the major disappointment he was experiencing, Dean wanted to go home but he had a non-refundable flight. He stayed the five weeks with an Irish American family that was also duped by Baryla.
"Kathleen Loughran from Lakewood, New Jersey, who after all that happening with her children not getting to attend the camp took me in, gave me a bed and food to eat," he said.
After hearing the news of what happened to Dean, the U.S. Army Cadet Academy in Millersburg contacted his father and offered Dean a place in their camp.

Liverpool Message Board
The views of ex players
We are in 2 camps here - the so-called IRWT brigade - something of a misnomer but I'll run with it, and those that aren't. In the last week or so, I have read 4 ex- players give endorsements to what Rodgers is trying to do. Jan, Aldo, Smithy and Craig Johnston have all basically said we are on the right track. I was wondering what the thoughts are of the people on the other side of the fence think about this. Are the ex players wrong to think this way and why?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Loki, while I respect the views of ex-players, or anyone else who might have a more detailed view of the club than the general bystander, I still see them as opinions. Just as pundits are not always right, I don't view someone view no matter who they are as gospel.
But instead I'd rather trust my own eyes, and they tell me that we've not only progressed from last season, but have progressed during this season, which tells me we're on the right path. So for me BR is doing something right, and so long as it continues, I take the view don't fix won't ain't broke.
A few interesting things said on here, I'd like to disagree with some of them!
Loki/Colyn - I don't think that a change in manager will take us back to square one, Rodgers has said himself that if the board decide he isn't the right man then someone else can come in and build on systems he has put in place. We shouldn't be scared to get rid of the manager, not that I think we should right now.
Colin - I've never actually seen Liverpool play 'tici-taca', I'd like to know what the highest number of passes are that have then led to a goal, I don't think it would be very many. Steven Gerrard seems to have been given the freedom to play 'hollywood' balls whenever he see's fit, defiantly not tici-taca. on Andy Carroll, he had all of last season to try and prove he could be part of a plan A, he was rubbish most of the time. Not good enough for LFC as a plan B, C or D.
I'm in a controversial mood, here is an article where former Liverpool player Danny Murphy backs Roy Hodgson as Liverpool Manager http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/8779076.stm
They'll say anything to get in the papers! :)

Yes Ok Aurelio, good and very fair point but what we musn't do is get another manager with a completely different philosophy to Rodgers. Rodgers said that too. That would be a dsaster in my opinion but someone who will take what Rodgers has done and move it forward fine. Although I would personally actually stick with what we have for now and look carefully at where the weaknesses are and address those through support from within. That could be people, money or whatever.
Loki...Aldo was of the 4 ex players a ..striker and a damned good one for us after Rushie left for Juve I would respect his view on matters of...strikers. You by contrast go as it seems u always do these days with the view of Rogers..." He doesnt suit my style of play." I think any of us can acknowledge that Rogers has implemented certainmeasures that are beneficial to te club integrating all the levels of the club right down through the Academy to play the same system. However many of us ...check out other fan forums...are not convinced by his total reliance on tiki taca as the only mode to employ against all opposition...u by contrast seem again to parrot the Rogers Party Line. I like many feel we have NO PLAN B and believe we NEED one quite desperately because if we had one we wouldnt have lost at Stoke wouldnt have been played off the park at Southampton would have won at Arsenal wouldnt have lost to Villa at home and wouldnt have drawn0.0 with WHU...BUT ...Rogers thinks we dont need any Plan B. Presumably u agree whole heartedly with him.

Colin - I have never said that we don't need alternate tactics - ever. I don't think I could have been clearer on the issue of Carroll. We lost at Stoke because we don't have the players for a physical battle, that's why I have been advocating we buy someone like Diame of West Ham, a big brute who can play a bit. Why did we need a plan B at Arsenal when we were 2 up? What happened there was individual mistakes, nothing to do with tactics. The Villa and Soton games we were just poor, it happens to every team!
You should know that the last time I had blind faith in a manager was Kenny's first stint. I don't agree with everything they do - including Rodgers - but I see a bigger picture and we can't be cured of the many diseases that's infected the club for decades in one season like you and Armchair seem to think. It's still gonna take another 2 seasons before we are ready to compete for the title and that is provided the following happens
1) we stick with one manager
2) no unsuccessful purchases
3) the owners give enough money to get the class of player we need
4) we get top 4 next year
PS you still haven't answered me on the centre-back general question!
I'm gonna do an Armchair and answer my own thread! Aldo today said we needed Andy Carroll on Sunday! So that screws my thread doesn't it?
For the record, I have no problems with Andy being part of our squad, but I just don't see him accepting being a bit part member with the World Cup coming up next year. Also I am not convinced that he and Suarez work well together having seen them play together often. Who can forget Suarez on the touchline in the CC final last year and Carroll stood still on the D not even making a run?

An argument over a dog bite escalated into a physical showdown in an Aspen Business Center parking lot, with one man trying to drive away in his Saab as another man jumped on top of the hood and pounded against the windshield, according to a Pitkin County Sheriff's Office report.
Incidents in a half-hour span Wednesday evening near the 421 building of the center resulted in two arrests. Basalt resident David Marlow, 67, whose photography studio is in the building, faces charges of felony menacing and misdemeanor assault in his alleged role. Not long after his arrest, he was released from Pitkin County Jail on $2,500 bond.
The second man, Shawn Carroll, 54 — who allegedly was bitten by Marlow's Jack Russell terrier before the fight — was not jailed. He received a summons to appear in court on a single misdemeanor assault count. According to a deputy's report, Carroll lives in the same building where Marlow's studio is housed.
Contacted by phone Thursday, Marlow expressed regret for his part in the events and said he contacted the 9th Judicial District Attorney's Office to ask for special mediation in the matter to discuss his differences with Carroll. He said the problems between them began several weeks ago during a dispute over parking spaces in front of the building.
"I called the DA already, and I want to try to get a mediation set up with Shawn because I hate negative energy," Marlow said. "I want to chat with him and tell him I'm so sorry it's escalated to this place and I respect him. Nothing like this has ever happened to me, but I've never been assaulted before, either."
Deputy Ryan Turner's narrative states that he went to the building based on a dispatcher's call regarding a dog bite. While on the way, he heard Deputy Marcin Debski say over the police radio that he was already on the scene with two males and that the situation was escalating.
Based on interviews with Carroll, Marlow and a witness — a nearby construction worker — Turner pieced together the events as such:
• Around 6 p.m., Carroll walked into Marlow's studio alleging that the dog bit him, according to Marlow. (Carroll later told authorities there were no visible injuries from the dog bite.)
• At that point, Marlow believed that Carroll was going to assault Marlow, but Carroll didn't, Marlow said.
• Marlow left the building and got into his Saab. Carroll followed him to the parking lot and "demanded that (Marlow) wait for police to arrive" to investigate the bite, Marlow said.
• Marlow tried to leave the lot, but Carroll stood in front of the car in an attempt to keep Marlow from leaving, according to both men.
• Marlow drove at "a high rate of speed" toward him, Carroll and the witness said. Both added that Carroll jumped up onto the hood of the Saab to avoid being run over and began banging on the hood and windshield, telling Marlow to stop.
• Marlow stopped, and Carroll got off the hood and again stood in front of the car, the witness said. Then Marlow drove at high speed toward Carroll again, and Carroll jumped on it again and began striking the windshield a second time, the witness told Turner.
• At some point during the verbal and physical altercations, Carroll put Marlow in a headlock, Marlow said.
Deputies arrived around 6:30 p.m. and took statements. The windshield of Marlow's car was damaged, according to incident reports.
Marlow told The Aspen Times he tried to drive away from the scene simply because he was frightened.

How many of you out there have wondered whatever happened to your old treasures that you had as a child? Did you lose them yourself, or did your parents throw them away?
I'm sure we all ordered those cool decoder rings so that we would be the only one around who could read the secret messages. With your parents' help, you sent in all the required things and then waited anxiously for the letter carrier to bring it to you.
Little did we know back then that those treasures would be worth a lot of money now. Nor did we have any idea that an unopened one would be worth even more. With most old stuff, if you save the box it came in and the instructions, it could be worth more than the article itself.
Remember when the Cracker Jack prizes were more than just a piece of paper with a joke on it? Cracker Jacks were invented by two brothers, Frederick and Louis Rueckheim, who set up a stand in Chicago and started selling their concoction of molasses, popcorn and peanuts.
It wasn't called Cracker Jacks until 1896 when a salesman was given a sample of their product and he exclaimed, "That's a cracker jack!" The phrase "cracker jack" was a slang expression in those days, meaning "something very pleasing." The brothers liked the name and thus Cracker Jack had a name of its own and the brothers had the words trademarked.
In 1910 they began selling boxes that would have coupons in them that would be redeemed for prizes. One of the first redeemable prizes is rumored to have been a tan or gray flannelette baseball uniform. By 1912 the boxes came packed with prizes like whistles, train cars, miniature books, magnifying glasses and other fun things to play with. In 1918, Jack the Sailor was created in the likeness of Frederick's young grandson, Robert, and his pet dog Bingo was also used for the drawing.
Most boys and even some girls saved baseball cards and those old cards are worth a pretty penny nowadays. Trading cards was a big deal to us kids. It was, "I'll give you two of these and one of this for just one of those." Everyone walked away from the bargaining holding their new treasure and was so proud of their trading abilities. We usually traded off the lesser-known players for the more popular ones. And, of course, the cards we didn't want are the ones with the most value now.
By the time I was around 8 years old, the trading changed to pictures of movie stars. We bought the movie magazines, cut out the full-page photos and some of the smaller ones to trade for a star that we really wanted.
Collecting changed again when I became a teenager. By then it was the sheet music for the latest songs that everyone had to have. The corner drugstore was the place to be on delivery day so you could get the latest songs and sing them with your girlfriends. It didn't matter if you could really sing or not, you just had to know all the words.
I have no idea where all my childhood treasures are now, if I lost them or if they got thrown away on one of our moves. In any case, if all of us had been able to save them, they wouldn't be selling for as much money now as they are. I guess we'll just have to watch for one of our old treasures to sell for a lot of money. Then we can say, "I had one of those when I was a kid!"

The McPherson Public Library will celebrate National Library Week from April 15 through April 19 with the theme "Communities Matter at Your Library." Libraries across America observe the annual event by highlighting the many ways in which they benefit and enrich the lives of people of all ages in their communities.
The library staff have planned many activities that week and throughout the month. The library continues a long-standing tradition on April 17, which is Coffee & Cookie Day. The public is encouraged to stop by the library meeting room from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. that day and enjoy coffee and cookies.
On April 19, the library will hold a sale of audiobooks on cassette. As cassette players are becoming sparse, and circulation of audiobooks in cassette format has dwindled, the library has withdrawn those titles from their collection and is selling them to patrons. Almost 300 audiobooks will be available for the public to purchase at $2 each. The sale will run throughout the weekend.
And also during National Library Week, the library will announce the winners of the bookmark contest. Over the past few weeks, children and teens have been creating original artwork for bookmarks and submitting them to the library. There will be one winner for each grade level.
In keeping with this year's National Library Week theme focusing on communities, the library staff will have bins at the library where the public may place donations of needed items for Mt. Hope Sanctuary, Omega House, and the Humane Society. A list featuring details of the particular needs is available at the library or via the library website at www.macpl.org.
For more information about events, stop by the library or call 245-2570. The library is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

IDAHO SPRINGS -Welcome home, Eagle Valley boys lacrosse.
Kick off your collective shoes and stay a while. The Devils start a six-game homestand Saturday against Pueblo West after earning a weekend split, including a 16-4 pounding of Clear Creek in Idaho Springs.
"I think the boys are really excited to play here, and defend their home turf," Devils coach Ted Boddy said.
The Devils (2-6) snapped a four-game slide with a whole lot of offense against the Golddiggers. Johnny Bailey had six goals and four assists. Nick Briggs and Sam Boyd both had trifectas. Gregg Salaz scored twice and Jesus Garcia and Justin Hart also added their names to the scoresheet.
"We dressed a few more players than we normally do," Boddy said. "They gave us good energy on the bench, which was needed."

VAIL, Colorado - It's Vail's characters that make it such a colorful place.
Take Steve "Louie" Boyd, for instance. Boyd compiled "Understories: A Patrolman's Tales of Life in the early days of Vail and Aspen."
Vail in the early 1960s was filled with colorful characters, Boyd said.
"As the old saying goes, 'If you can remember the '60s you weren't really there.' Well, we were there and fortunately we can remember a few things," Boyd said.
"Understories" is exactly that, 36 stories by Vail ski patrollers. Imagine your favorite uncles sitting around the living room swapping their favorite stories. Boyd came up with 19 on his own. Fourteen other ski patrollers contributed tales and photos.
Stories go on and on
One patroller was called "Goose" for reasons that remain unclear, but Goose was witty and sarcastic with a big smile and a lightning sense of humor. Patrolmen always went down to his place Monday nights for "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In" on the only TV channel available in Minturn. So they started calling their morning meetings "Laugh In." They are still called that.
There's The Great Sheep Rescue. Vail's Ski Patrol did not discriminate based on species. On a stormy, early winter day in 1963 they were dispatched to rescue some sheep from certain death.
The sheep had been caught by a series of late fall snowstorms at higher elevations, before they could reach the main valley floor and relative safety. Even though this rescue contained practical applications - especially to their owner, Allan Nottingham - the whole thing was actually one huge publicity stunt for Vail Associates. It was contrived to get the Denver Post writers and photographers up to Vail to produce another story on the fledgling ski area.
Nottingham was a pilot with a small, single-engine plane, and he had spotted his sheep and dropped hay to help them survive.
The press and the ski patrol were towed up the mountain behind a makeshift snowcat Earl Eaton had invented. Pictures and notes were taken, but not many of the sheep survived.
Boyd tells about how most afternoons would find Jake the Snake at the "Tuckem Inn," entertaining one of his lady friends.
"We didn't have a reservation system. All we did was hang our patrol belts on a tree 20 or 30 yards from the Inn as a, 'Sorry, Occupied' sign," Boyd writes.
The Tuckem Inn died, but not Jake's tendencies, Boyd writes. The story goes that he went out one spring afternoon with a rig equipped with blankets and his girlfriend.
At the All Colorado Ski Patrol Party in Keystone, Vail didn't have a contestant for the Miss Colorado Ski Patrol pageant. The Vail patrolmen tasked with finding a suitable queen candidate had been a little too honest in describing what the party and contest might entail. "We'd arrived at Keystone absent any Vail woman willing to wear the Vail Ski Patrol sash," wrote Jeff Supringer.
Aspen didn't.
Their contestant, Panama Red, performed the talent section wearing nothing but red high heels. Then she ended the season of a teetotaling Vail ski patroller, but not for the reasons you might think.
The stories go on and on.
There was the time they set a couple skunks loose in Jim Slevin's La Cave bar and restaurant.
There was adventure fishing, shot training, the ski patrol baseball game on skis, Dickey Pete's Dynamite Prank, and Ski Patrol Limericks.
Not quite a year before Pete Seibert's death, Boyd ran into him at the Shaw Cancer Center, where they were both being treated.
"You know, Pete, I guess I owe you an apology," Boyd said.
"Oh?" Seibert said.
Boyd said the early Vail ski patrolmen wanted to become the best ski patrol in the nation, if not the whole damn world.
"We also had the inclination, as a sort of informal competition after clocking out, to be the absolute worst we could possibly be, all in good fun, of course," Boyd said.
Pete smiled, but not necessarily a smile of forgiveness.
Some months later, Boyd said mentioned it to a guy named "Weed," one of Vail's more notorious bad-boy patrolmen.
"You know, Louie," Weed commented. "I think we accomplished both."

excellent cover!
These covers are the best! I used them when I cloth diapered my first and I used them daily. I was pretty rough on my diapers too, I washed frequently in too hot of water and dried on high heat. They stood up well to my abuse. I am now using them on my 2nd and 3rd babies. These awesome covers will have a lot of life left in them when I am done and they go to a new home :)

I guess I never looked too closely at the Plaza in downtown Ashland before the recent Extreme Makeover: Plaza Edition started. I had walked through it, sat on the benches and parked next to it without ever thinking that it needed updating. That's not to say I'm against the project, though — I'm excited about any type of beautification project. I hope my bathroom is the next subject for a beautification campaign.
I hear the grass in the Plaza was getting trampled and is being replaced with more resistant plants. It's too bad there seems to be such an intense effort to eradicate blackberries throughout Ashland in recent years, or I would suggest that as the perfect trample-resistant plant. Sure, it may be a non-native species, but let's face it, so are most Ashlanders. A blackberry bush downtown would provide snacks, an activity for families, and speaking as the victim of many foot-to-thorn encounters, would not get stepped on more than once.
While we wait for the beautification stage of the Plaza to start, we're stuck staring at a giant mud puddle. I'm not a huge fan of mud, having to regularly scrape it off the bottom of my son's shoes before he's allowed in the house, and I can sympathize with the business owners downtown that worry that the mud-pit construction zone makes some people think the Plaza businesses are closed, or believe there is no parking. In actuality, people probably know that there's open parking, but don't want to risk getting their car dirty.
I've never been under the impression that the Plaza, or the businesses there, were closed. Maybe this is a personal level of obliviousness, but seeing mud, fences and construction vehicles just doesn't say "keep out" to me.
In the meantime, while we wait for the Plaza to become beautiful again (and definitely before there's any serious discussion about placing blackberry bushes there) I think we can take advantage of this mud and dirt.
I have seen that show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," just once (OK, I admit it, twice), and was fascinated to see the family participate in a mud puddle belly flopping contest. I think we could have something like that happen downtown. We could time it for right before tourist season is up and swinging (after all, we do have a reputation to uphold), and although everyone would have to be hosed off first, the Plaza businesses would probably pick up some customers through all the excitement. The mayor could be the judge, and vendors could sell chocolate pudding and gummy worms to the spectators.
The problem is, the last time I saw the mud in the Plaza it was actually frozen dirt. Apparently, Southern Oregon is much colder than wherever Honey Boo Boo was when competing in her belly-flopping contest. Personally, I don't see myself wallowing in frozen mud (I just like the green versions that I put on my face), but I think that as long as there are the same kinds of hardy souls willing to swim and surf at the Oregon Coast, we can certainly find someone wanting to play in the thawed-out mud. Photographs of the winners would make an excellent contribution to the time capsule being placed underneath the new Plaza.
I'm sure the finished project will be great, just like the previous versions of the Plaza also have all been great. Any place with trees and benches is bound to be fairly pleasant and beautiful. The project is supposed to be done soon, but that's no reason not to have some fun in the meantime.
Zoe Abel may not be the kind of girl who swims when at the Oregon Coast, but she's also willing to let a little mud get tracked into her car. You can contact her at email@example.com.

Police: Desire for pizza led to armed robbery
|Rasheed Bronson
Rasheed Bronson, 19, was arrested Tuesday in connection with the armed holdup of a 24-year-old employee of Park Pizza on Cooke Street on July 12.
Police suspect Bronson, along with a teenage accomplice, also robbed another delivery man in July.
Bronson admitted to police that he lured the pizza man to Beverly Avenue at about 9:40 p.m. after phoning in an order for a pie.
"Honestly, I was just thinking I was hungry," he told detectives.
Bronson waited for the man near a vacant lot, then flagged him down, pretending he was going to pay him.
When the driver pulled up, Bronson told investigators, he pushed him against the car, had him empty his pockets and stole his $300 watch. Along with a few dollars, he also took the pizza, according to his statement to police.
The driver was uninjured in the stickup.
Police also believe Bronson and a teen, who wasn't identified because of his age, robbed a Chinese deliveryman at gunpoint on Beverly Avenue on July 29.
Police tied Bronson to the holdups after the teenager admitted to his role in both crimes.
Bronson, whose last known address was 450 Hill St., was found in Danbury on Tuesday. He was charged with robbery and was held on a $50,000 bond.

To conservative1, there is hardly anything conservative about being racist, suggesting all minorities are criminals. All minorities do not live in the hood and for who do live in low income neighborhoods which is what you mean to say, high crime is less than desirable.
Your view is myopic and you clearly choose to be ignorant. The roots of this country is ridden with criminal activity and evil, but that is apparently acceptable. Everyday injustice destroys all different people in this country and world. White people walk out of courtrooms everyday, with reduced charges and/or acquittals but you may also be fine with that. And that's a fact, not to insult white people. I don't know your background and it's hardly my concern. This is my only comment so understand I will not battle you back and forth; I'm not looking for a fight. I just don't understand the intention of negative comments. Get on your knees and get that evil out of your heart. Pray that God changes hearts, minds and protects all families.
No matter the color of anyone's skin or background, I pray that justice is done. Crime is not exclusive to any skin color, and so its unnecessary to makes comments about race. This is terrible and I hope the truth is indeed founded. The legal system fails in many ways; It is imperfect and has its own crime within. It's easy to be ignorant and uneducated but I dare you to be learn about this world just a little and then you will see the truth and focus on the right thing. In the end, no one really gets away with anything. I just wants God's will to be done in everyone's lives. Now that is conservative. "
conservative1 wrote on Sep 21, 2013 8:05 PM:
I pray everyday several times. To protect the innocent and convert the criminals. More important to me is protecting the innocent. No one forced this criminal to rob the pizza man. He should suffer a severe enough penalty as to NEVER think to hurt another human. "

If we stopped making welfare so easy to receive, these baby makers would STOP making them to collect more free money. In 20 years crime would be WAY DOWN.

Times have been tough for airports around the nation in recent years.
With stricter guidelines, security requirements and higher fees, it's becoming more difficult for smaller airports to survive.
However, officials at Meridian Regional Airport say the 'power of the pump' is helping it beat the odds.
Prices at the gas pump for drivers on roads is still relatively high. But it seems the price is right at Meridian's aviation station.
With some of the lowest prices on the market, the Fixed Base Operation, also known as the service station for aircraft, is based at Meridian Regional Airport. Since being founded the year after the 9/11 attacks, it has doubled the airport's overall profit margin.
'It's definitely the single biggest revenue source that we have for the airport,' says Meridian Regional Airport president, Tom Williams.
Over the last 8 years, Williams says the operation has generated profits anywhere from $200,000 to $500,000 annually.
Referred to as FBO for short, airport officials say there are many reasons for the service's success.
'I think location is a lot of it,' says FBO manager, Chris Sutton. 'The amount of traffic and the stuff you offer the pilots when they come in.'
Even equipped with a family restroom to accommodate the needs of the aging population and young children, Sutton says the facility is has many amenities not found at other sites.
'There's a flight planning room for pilots to find out about the weather and plan their flights. There's a kitchen filled with food like hot dogs, hot waffles, popcorn and drinks that's free for the pilots. There's also a pilot's lounge and briefing room that military personnel often use for debriefing after a flight.'
With 15 employees, airport officials say their hope is to expand the Fixed Base Operation service even more in the future.
'That's what it's about trying to make Meridian a center for aviation activity,' says Williams.
Next Tuesday, May 22nd, a dedication and open house will be held for the airport from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. During that two-hour period tours of the newly renovated areas will be offered. The event is free and open to the public.

Equities ended the abbreviated week on a bullish note - with the S&P 500 having its second best week of the year - boosted by positive retail sales estimates and upbeat economic reports out of Europe. For the week, the S&P 500 gained 3.62 percent, the Dow gained 3.73 percent, and the Nasdaq gained 3.99 percent, erasing some of the losses we saw in previous weeks. Although the holiday shopping season is just beginning, early information suggests retailers can expect a good showing this year. A recent consumer survey by Deloitte suggested that shoppers would spend an average of $286 over the holiday weekend, which is a 28 percent increase over a similar survey last year. Additionally, the National Retail Federation forecasts holiday sales to grow 4.1 percent over last year. This is good news for retailers, who expect to make between 40-50 percent of their profits during the holiday shopping season. Hoping to goose the start of the shopping season, some retailers began offering Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving Day. Interestingly, the promotional push may have stolen sales from Black Friday itself. However, if Thursday's numbers are added to Black Friday, stores still saw a total increase in sales of almost 1 percent over 2011, and store visits increased 3.5 percent, indicating that consumers are feeling confident and want to spend money. The fiscal cliff is still very much on everyone's minds, and despite reassuring jawboning by lawmakers, we don't know how likely it is that we will see a resolution by Christmas. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke fanned the flames during a speech last week by commenting that if a resolution is not reached, the U.S. economy will slide into recession. If that were allowed to happen, he does not believe that the Fed has the tools needed to help and that the economy would be on its own. While this isn't a happy thought, it's clear that Bernanke is using his bully pulpit to push lawmakers into action. His message is clear: "Make it happen, or you're on your own."Monday of this week is widely known as "Cyber Monday," the largest online shopping day of the year. As workers return to their desks after the long holiday weekend, many are still in shopping mode, and retailers offer online specials to lure them away from brick and mortar stores. It will be interesting to see if Cyber Monday numbers are as encouraging as Black Friday's. Also this week, analysts will be turning their attention to the state of economic reports being released, including GDP, employment data, and consumer confidence. Headlines• IPad and iPhone dominate Black Friday online shopping. IBM found that 24% of online shoppers used mobile devices, compared to 14.3 percent in 2011. The iPad was used by 88.3 percent of tablet shoppers. • Greece closer to aid deal. After several days of bargaining and politicking, Europe's leaders are moving closer to a new bailout deal for Greece. The IMF has agreed to relax its debt-cutting targets for Greece, meaning the country may not be forced to adopt additional austerity measures. • Chinese manufacturing numbers are up. After seven consecutive months of slowing, an important manufacturing index is up as factory orders pick up. Since manufacturing forms a large part of the Chinese economy, this could indicate that the world's second-largest economy might be recovering from its slump. • Oil prices surge on Israel tensions. Oil prices rose above $88 a barrel, on increased tensions in the Middle East. A brewing fight between Israeli forces and Gaza separatists is causing supply worries, pushing up the price.

Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue has seen a rise in carbon monoxide alarms this week, as the use of stoves furnaces and fireplaces - which burn materials that can produce the odorless and invisible, but poisonous gas - increases.
The department has responded to eight CO alarms since October, and seven of those instances the gas was in fact found in dangerous levels inside the residence. Four of those calls were in January alone.
"There has been a spade of these, but that's not to be unexpected in the winter," Lake Dillon spokesman Steve Lipsher said. "I'm gratified that people who had CO detectors going off called 911 and, for the most part, evacuated. That's exactly what we want to have happen."
Fire officials said in all instances working carbon monoxide detectors warned residents of the danger in time and emphasized the importance of equipping residences with detectors. Only one person suffered symptoms of exposure.
"Because the CO detectors alerted the residents, they were able to escape without harm and called 911," fire chief Dave Parmley stated in a release from the department. "Our crews then would go inside - wearing full self-contained breathing apparatuses - and find the build up of carbon monoxide to be at dangerous levels. Because carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, residents would not know they were in peril had it not been for the CO detectors."
Colorado lawmakers passed a law several years ago requiring owners of all rental properties statewide to install carbon monoxide detectors, following several high-profile cases of fatalities caused by CO poisoning. But Lake Dillon fire officials urge property owners and residents to install them in all units where people live.
The early symptoms of CO exposure include headache, nausea and drowsiness.
Detectors sell for roughly $20-$40. Fire officials recommend placing them in a central location outside each sleeping area on every level of the home.
Carbon-monoxide poisoning kills more than 150 people annually in the U.S.
