Why We Exist
Our mission is to provide medical and dental care to ALL members of our community–moms, dads, children, grandparents, adults, teens, and babies who have no insurance, who have little or no income and those who cannot find affordable healthcare elsewhere. When a fellow Lancastrian is vulnerable and sick, SouthEast Lancaster Health is honored to restore their wellness.
For 40 years, SouthEast Lancaster Health has worked tirelessly to provide exceptional community health; provided BY the community, FOR the community.
Our Roots
We were born in 1972 on Strawberry Street as a part-time, volunteer-run medical center. We worked hard caring for those who needed help.
We grew and eventually paid staff. By 1980, we began providing dental care in addition to medical care. Also in 1980, we moved to an office on Rockland Street, merged with Lancaster Neighborhood Health Center and SACA Health Center and renamed the newly fashioned organization 'SouthEast Lancaster Health Services.' In 1994, as a result of our continued growth in serving the community, the City of Lancaster gifted us with land at 625 South Duke Street.

Issue No.03 - June (1993 vol.8)
pp: 76-81
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/64.215226

Two research projects that have examined problems related to system verification and validation and the associated issue of maintenance are described. The Mekas (Methodology for Knowledge Analysis) Project has developed a method to give knowledge engineers a thorough characterization of the domain, that is, a full description of the ontology, structure, functions, and theories that underpin the domain. This provides a coherent framework within which a knowledge base can be more readily identified with key aspects of the domain, aiding verification and validation. The second project, known as MAKE (Maintenance Assistance for Knowledge Engineers), was aimed at the process of constructing and revising the knowledge base. It is argued that the primary focus of verification and validation must be on the models, and the transitions between them, rather than simply on the executable representation.

Trevor Bench-Capon, Frans Coenen, Hyacinth Nwana, Ray Paton, Michael Shave, "Two Aspects of the Validation and Verification of Knowledge-Based Systems", IEEE Intelligent Systems, vol.8, no. 3, pp. 76-81, June 1993, doi:10.1109/64.215226

Want to go to a real Halloween party in Las Vegas 2016? Then you have come to the right place. Bachelor Vegas will get you and your group set up with the hottest costume parties in town. The freaks come out for Halloween in Vegas and it's a sight not to be missed! Nightclubs host costume parties with world-famous DJ's and celebrities come out of the woodwork to participate in the ghostly fun. Make sure to get your scariest (or sexiest) costume and come prepared for a night of ghoulish fun! Reservations are limited, so be sure to call ahead to guarantee your spot.
With the slew of holidays celebrated amongst the masses on the Las Vegas Strip, it's a rare occasion that anyone feels left out. Christmas fanatics, Veterans, Thanksgiving enthusiasts, and patriots of the United States all get to enjoy a Vegas iteration of their favorite holiday. Even the Pagans (and anybody that thoroughly enjoys candy and wearing costumes) get to experience what Las Vegas has in store for their holiday. October 31st may be best known for the cutesy princesses and superheroes that march up and down neighborhoods begging for candy, but in Las Vegas, a little sin is always present.
Each year, the masses gather at many locations in various states of dress (or undress). Sexy pirates, witches, and borderline whorish iterations of household pets litter the Las Vegas strip in celebration of All Hallows Eve. With the plethora of individuals donned in costumes, it is no question that the casinos along the Las Vegas Strip celebrate this devilish holiday in style.
The biggest annual Halloween party in Las Vegas started out as a small gathering of individuals with a common interested. What started out years ago as a guest list in the low hundreds quickly grew into a massive party sporting over 7,000 scantily clad guests. The annual Fetish and Fantasy Halloween Ball is Las Vegas' largest Halloween party and takes Sin City to a whole new level.
As can be expected in a city built on sin, the bulk of the party focuses on the "Fetish" aspect, with sex being one of the main drivers for the Ball. Performers dance suggestively on main stages throughout the event to a continuous soundtrack mixed by the events house DJ. Mixed within the overt sexual tension is a healthy dose of horror and fantasy, accentuated by roaming monsters and the occasional scare.
If the thought of a sexy Halloween doesn't tickle your fancy, than make your way to the MGM Grand for their annual Nightmare on 54th Street. In celebration of this dark night, the MGM transforms its famed Studio 54 into a hotspot for ghouls and goblins and offers Vegas' second most famous Halloween party. The horror ambiance is enflamed as bartenders and servers get into the spirit and don costumes to match the clubs chilling décor. Numerous costume contests and bountiful cash prizes add to the allure of Nightmare on 54th Street and help catch the attention of newcomers to a Halloween in Vegas.
In Sin City, there is no such thing as low key, and Halloween is no exception to this. Whether you're just traipsing down Las Vegas Boulevard or partying the night away in one of Las Vegas' famed events, the spirit of Halloween will be more than evident. For people that think Vegas is a freak show on any normal day, a Halloween in Sin City may be far too much for them to handle. Read our Halloween blog

Research Possible Political Candidates Before They're Elected
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 12:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 12:03 a.m.
There was a picture and message on Facebook, this morning, that said that only about 10 percent of the people believe in Congress. That set me to thinking.
We sit around and blame the president and the Congress for the state in which we find our country in today. We should be blaming ourselves. There are two old sayings: 1. Point the finger and you have four more fingers pointing back at you. 2. Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.
We don't scrutinize the people that we put into office. We let them (for the most part) buy their way into being a candidate, and then we go by and believe in the ads that they put out to get us to vote for them.
We should be involved in saying who our candidates are in the first place. We need to have people, who put forth these candidates, know what we want in a person running for office. In other words, we need to be involved from the get-go.
In this day of technology, we should be looking these people up on the Internet and finding out about them to see if they do indeed reflect our ideals, but most of all if they have a good record.
If you have other means of investigating them, then that would be fine too. But in the end, we should all be investigating these people who are running for office not just looking at them on the television and gauging them that way. Being in a few debates isn't going to give you the answers. They help but good old researching them is still the best way to vote for people who are going to impact our lives and make the nation what it is.
The same holds true for our local officials and our state officials. In other words, we get exactly the government that we deserve. Ours is a government "Of the people, by the people, for the people." Instead we seem to have a government of our representatives ignoring us and voting the way that they please. Let's give them a message.

As 2013 trickles down to the final days and 2014 is set to begin, many local residents are reviewing the year and liking what they see.
Good experience or just a trial?
According to AP's New Year's Eve Poll, which interviews 1,367 adults, as a whole, more Americans say 2013 has been more positive than negative.
Thirty-two percent say 2013 was a better year than 2012, while 20 percent say it was worse. About 40 percent say 2013 was about the same as 2012.
For Vincent resident Josh Martini, 28, what started out as a bad year turned a little sweeter toward its end.
"I've been out of work until (recently)," he said. "So the end of the year has been a little better."
Martini said he's looking forward to the future.
Good for the country or not so much?
The country is pretty evenly split on whether or not 2013 was better for the country, according to the poll.
There is a strong partisan divide for looking at the condition of the country: Democrats are more likely to say things looked up for the country in 2013 (37 percent) versus Republicans (17 percent).
Rose Nardi, of Marietta, manages investments at Peoples Bank, and said she feels things are on the upswing for the nation.
"The stock is up 30 percent," Nardi said. "The economy is growing. It's been a fantastic year for all investors."
Countdown camaraderie
About 54 percent of Americans say they are ringing in the New Year at home, while about 1 in 5 are going to a friend's or family member's house. Only a small percentage, 8 percent, say they will go out to a bar, restaurant or other event.
Whether ringing in the New Year at home, at a friend's or out on the town with others, 83 percent of Americans say they want to be with a family member when the clock strikes midnight.
Locally, many residents are having quiet evenings with family.
Mary Leatham, of Marietta, is one of those residents.
"I'm spending it with my husband and any other family members that can stay up that late," she said.
Joe Webb, 50, of Williamstown is ringing in the New Year at the First United Methodist Church in Williamstown.
"I'm preaching at the youth service," he said. "I get to spend New Year's with a bunch of really cool teenagers."
News Buzz
The implementation of the Affordable Care Act topped the list of important news for 2013, with 26 percent in the national survey citing it. Forty-five of 144 journalists called the health care rollout their top story.
News that also made headlines included the government shutdown, Boston Marathon bombings, national gun law debates and the death of Nelson Mandela.
Sherri Nolen, 43, of Marietta, said there were many top news stories of the year.
"Obamacare, of course," she said. "There were so many."
Webb said keeping up with news in Russia has been important for him. The country has been in the news this year for its anti-gay propaganda laws, support of NSA leaker Edward Snowden and as the upcoming host of the winter Olympics.
"I got the chance to go to Russia earlier this year," Webb said. "I'm following closely what's going on with Putin. I have friends over there. I'm concerned about what their future might look like. Locally, it's those little news stories that focus on the positive."
Forgettable pop culture
Let's face it, pop culture mostly did a nosedive this year, from Miley Cyrus's MTV Video Music Awards performance to apologies from Paula Deen and Lance Armstrong.
Marietta resident Wendy Mitchell, 47, said she was disappointed by today's pop culture.
"Forget Miley Cyrus, any Kardashian and Kanye West," she said. "Shouldn't you be famous because you have a talent? They should all be removed from the planet. I try to avoid pop culture, but the 50th anniversary of 'Doctor Who' was pretty cool."
The year in a nutshell
While 2013 had some bumps, the majority of Americans seemed to roll with the punches and call 2013 a better year than most.
With New Year's eve quickly approaching, mindsets are turning toward 2014 and what the year will bring.
"I just think every day is better than the day before, so every year should be better than the year before," Webb said.
The Associated Press contributed.

Jeff Bezos Replaces WaPo Publisher With Politico Co-Founder
Weymouth's departure is the end of an era of Graham family involvement with the Post. Her great-grandfather bought the newspaper in the 1930s, and her uncle Donald Graham sold it to Bezos last August for $250 million.
She'll be replaced by Frederick J. Ryan, the founding CEO of Politico and a former Reagan administration official.
I've bolded the most intriguing part of this announcement.
I wonder how the lefty WaPo newsroom hacks will like working for a "former Reagan official?"

Wide World of Webcomics: Christina Strain's THE FOX SISTER
South Korea, the 1960s. A young girl named Yun Hee sees her family killed by a mysterious force…except for one member who seemingly survives. Seven years later, she has grown into a beautiful but distant young woman, who carries with her an old photo and a sword. A force of evil is closer than she realizes, and their paths are on a collision course in The Fox Sister.
Strain spoke with us about her decision to create her own comics, the possibilities offered on the web, and Runaways artist Adrian Alphona in a fictional hot-dog-eating contest. It'll make sense when you read it.
Newsarama: Christina, how did The Fox Sister come about?
Christina Strain: Well, it sort of just happened. I know that's the worst response ever, but it really did. I was talking to a friend about how much I liked Jayd (Aït-Kaci, the story's illustrator)'s art and how I would love to work with her and then my friend was like, "She's a buddy of mine, want me to put you in contact with her?"
And then the stars all lined up and the two of us clicked and I started pitching a few different story ideas to her. The Fox Sister was the one she liked the most and then I started plotting it out keeping some of Jayd's tastes in mind and sort of tailored it to "fit" us.
Nrama: Why did you decide to do this as an online strip, as opposed to a GN or miniseries?
Strain: The plan from the beginning was to make it a webcomic and then print the book in 9X12 hard bound sort of French album-style issues. I chose this route for several reasons. Web publishing is the easiest way to publish and for rookies like us, and it's the best way to advertise the book.
Nrama: What's the process of moving to writing been like? Had you scripted anything before this?
Strain: It's been easy/hard? How's that for an amazingly nebulous answer?
I was comfortable coloring--I had a routine, I knew how to do my job, and I was comfortable in my role as a colorist. At the same time, after eight years of it, I knew I needed something different.
I initially thought I would stay within the art field and move into 3-D, but I took a comic-writing class on a lark and realized that really, I just want to tell stories. Even when I was coloring, my favorite thing to do was add drama to scenes and enhancing the storytelling with effects and colors. So making the decision to go into writing wasn't really difficult, but actually learning to write decent stories has been an interesting challenge.
Pre-Fox Sister I had scripted a few things, some of which I'll admit to, some I won't... (laughs) I will admit that I did write a kick ass competitive eating manga script that basically had Adrian Alphona as the main character in it. And YES I can objectively say it was kickass, because it had Adrian shoving a lot of hot dogs into his mouth like a champ.
Nrama: Do you see yourself moving from coloring to writing permanently? What do you feel have been the biggest advantages and disadvantages of writing a script coming from a background of an artist?
Strain: Oh yeah. I still enjoy coloring on occasion, but seriously, it was taking over my life. I was really starting to miss my husband and the light of day.
I can tell you right now, for sure, that the biggest advantage to writing a script coming from an artists' background is that it's a lot easier for me to visualize everything. I can't even read someone else's script without picturing each panel and whether or not the logistics of it work, so it's a lot easier for me to mentally suss out what I can and can't get out of an artist.
Plus, I know what I want out of the colors. I've already written out scenes where I used color as a story telling element, and I don't know that I would've been able to do that had I not been a colorist.
Nrama: What do you feel Jayd brings to the story?
Strain: She brings the art to the story, which means she brings it to life. Jayd's amazing. She's so good with putting life and emotion into the characters, there's a real bounce and dynamic feel to her stuff. She's also really patient because she's coloring it, but she lets me do color editing.
It's hard for me to let go of the one thing I felt I had control over for the entirety of my career, so I'm so lucky to have someone who's really chill about letting me steal back the steering wheel at times. I can't compliment the girl enough!
Nrama: How do you feel you've evolved as a storyteller since you started this?
Strain: I have a tendency to inject comedy into everything, and The Fox Sister is a supernatural/horror story, which is out of my comfort zone, so it's taught me a lot about embracing the genre you're working with. I've had to really push myself to make it darker than I initially planned, but I think it's way better now than it was.
I'm writing issue three and it's been a real struggle, but I'm happy with how it's coming out, it's a lot more suspense-driven and a lot bloodier and there's no one there making amazingly inappropriate jokes. It's like I'm learning impulse control and yet not, because I'm killing everyone in this book. Livers and guts everywhere.
Ok, so maybe I've learned nothing.
Nrama: What's the most interesting feedback you've gotten for this so far?
Strain: Up the body count. Seriously. And I don't say that in like... a mass murder sort of way, I just mean that I'm really skittish about gore and stuff, so the original outline had... not a lot of scary in it?
I mean, I even considered killing a small animal over a random person cause I was like, "I killed her family, isn't that enough!?" I'm taking a class with Nunzio DeFilippis, and he's been great about helping me intensify everything. I'm such a pansy.
I just gotta remember to channel George R. R. Martin sans incest.
Nrama: How long do you see the story running, ultimately?
Strain: Four issues, 36 pages apiece.
Nrama: What opportunities do you feel have been opened up by the web and by new media such as iPads and smartphones, and what do you feel creators and larger companies can do to embrace these opportunities?
Strain: Oh man. This is a hard question to answer. Things are so wild west right now with web publishing, and I don't know that there's any one set model that works for everyone yet. For me though, I thought it was a great time to dive in and finally start working on the stories that I'd like to tell.
I feel like now is a good time to expand on the types of stories being told within American comics, because we can capitalize on using the internet/mobile devices to tell these stories to people in other countries.
Nrama: If a fox spirit messed with YOUR sibling, what would you do?
Strain: Oh man. I'd probably be dead. Chances are my little sister would have a better shot at survival/revenge than I would. I'm too clumsy to escape without tripping constantly, plus I'm not very good at being sneaky so I'd give myself away instantly. Yeah... I'd be missing a liver.
Nrama: What's next for you?
Strain: A nap? I'm not too sure just yet, right now I'm just taking everything a step at a time. I have a crapload of writing to do so I can't imagine doing anything other than slugging through what I've got on my plate already.
After The Fox Sister, I'll probably want to do another comic, but I'm not really sure what and when. I have two stories I'd love to do right now, but a lot of it's going to depend on what the artists I have in mind for them are doing. Either way, I'm sure I'll be busy doing something!
Nrama: Anything else you want to talk about that we haven't discussed yet?
Strain: COMICS. BUY THEM. READ THEM. TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THEM. And thank you for reading!

Trending Japan: KDDI to Get iPhone?
With Typhoon Roke out of the way, Japan's Twitter users didn't have to hunt too far to find a new theme for Thursday.
If there's one thing the country's microbloggers like more than Twitter itself it's Apple Inc.'s iPhone, and the top trending item on Twitter Japan was "Au iPhone," referring to a report that the U.S. giant may pair up with Japan's second-biggest cellphone company, KDDI Corp., for the impending launch of the next version of the hit gadget on KDDI's Au network.
While KDDI declined to comment on whether it will stock the iPhone 5, the report carries weight since it comes from an online publication owned by the respected Nikkei business daily. If true, it'll be a blow to Softbank Corp., currently the sole iPhone provider in Japan and run by long-time Apple and Steve Jobs fan Masayoshi Son.
"iPhone from au? I might think about it when (my current contract with Softbank) expires in February," tweeted @huwanekko, capturing the mood for many.
Among other terms trending early Thursday:
- "monopoly broken" — also referring to the iPhone 5 story;
- "yesterday's typhoon" – Roke gone, but not forgotten.

Rob has gone snowboarding for a few days, and I miss him!!
We really haven't spent that much time apart since we got married, so I really miss him when he's not here. I know some couples need/want plenty of time apart, but we are not one of those couples! We simply enjoy spending our time together.
As much as I really enjoy "me" time, girls-only shopping sprees and girly nights out every now and then, I would still choose my husband as the person I would prefer to hang out with on a Saturday night.
I'm excited that he is coming home tonight. It will be late when he gets home, but I will wait up for him. I don't sleep very well when I'm on my own. When I went to Canada for 12 days last year, I slept terribly. Despite having a HUGE comfortable King-sized bed, beautiful linen, soft pillows, blackout curtains and air-con in my flashy hotel room, I found it hard to sleep. A small part of it was probably jet-lag – not feeling tired at night because my body clock was out of whack. But mostly, I was just missing my man!
Sorry if this sounds ridiculous to those of you whose partners are often away on business for extended periods. I'm sure it seems a bit OTT for me to be missing Rob so much after such a short time apart. I'm just thankful that I don't have to do this very often … I really doubt I could handle it!

Italy's Alfa Romeo unveiled the production version of its 4C two-seater roadster at the Geneva motor show Tuesday, setting the stage for the sports car brand's long-awaited return to the U.S., a crucial market for the start of its expansion beyond Europe.
"Today marks a major step for Alfa Romeo," Harald Wester, the brand's chief executive, said in a speech at the presentation of the car, which was first shown as a concept about two years ago.
Alfa Romeo, which belongs to Fiat, will start selling the 4C in Europe in the second half of September and in the U.S. before the end of the year, he said.
"We are building a new Alfa Romeo. It has the qualities to become a global brand to compete in the heart of the premium market," said Wester, whose aim is to have it compete against the likes of Audi of Volkswagen and BMW in the United States.
Alfa Romeo is in desperate need of a revival and of new markets. With essentially two models to its name, it sells mostly in Europe where fierce competition and weak demand has devastated sales. In 2012, it sold only 86,858 cars in European Union countries, down 31% from the previous year, according to industry figures. By comparison, BMW sold 614,779 vehicles.
Since the 4C is being built in a small factory run by Fiat's luxury sports car maker Maserati in the Italian town of Modena, the production number will be small at 3,500 units a year.
Alfa Romeo will allocate 1,500 units for sale in Europe, 1,200 for North America and the remaining 800 for the rest of the world.
It will also sell a limited edition of the 4C for €60,000 a piece. The price for the retail version will be disclosed at a later date.
Inspired by a 1960s racer called the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, the 4C has an aluminum engine and a carbon fiber body to be light and agile on the road, he said.
The mid-engine, rear-wheel drive car will come with a new four-cylinder engine that can push it from zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 4.5 seconds.
The relaunch of Alfa Romeo is part of a wider strategy by Fiat to revive its underutilized plants in its home country and turn them into an export hub for premium brands including Maserati and Jeep. Fiat is also reworking the 500 range of models of its namesake brand Fiat to sell them more upmarket to command a higher retail price for them.
After the 4C, Alfa Romeo will come out with a mid-sized sedan called the Giulia, as well as several other models in the U.S. The next Alfa model to arrive here will be in 2015.
Alfa Romeo is also working with Mazda Motorto work on another two-seater roadster. Produced at Mazda's Hiroshima plant, it will come out in 2015.

Anger Can Be Good for Your Relationship
By Leslie Becker-Phelps, PhD
Don't like being angry with those closest to you? Do you try to hide it? Or, do you feel guilty about it? Well, it might be a relief to know that anger has its place in relationships. It is healthy to feel anger; though what you do with it is the difference between enjoying a happy relationship and being out on your own again.
It can help to think of your anger as a warning system that's telling you something is wrong. So, when you feel it, pay attention. It's best if you can detect it early, when it is annoyance or frustration – before it's a serious threat. For this reason, it's very helpful to practice being aware of your emotions. When you do, you're likely to realize that along with your anger, you are often feeling other emotions that need attention, too. For instance, you might also feel sad, hurt, disrespected, or emotionally abandoned. As you become aware of these experiences, take note of what is triggering them.
Now you can begin to address your feelings and the problems that caused them. If the problem is really within you, work on addressing it alone or with the help of others. If the problem truly resides in your relationship, then you would do well to think about an effective way to express what you are feeling along with why you are feeling this way. This thoughtful approach is likely to get the other person to engage with you to resolve your problem – a much better approach than just blasting the other person, who will then become defensive or defensively aggressive.
As tempting as it is to see the issue as totally the other person's fault, this is not helpful and rarely true. So, if you want to accomplish anything other than venting, you will benefit from approaching the other person when you are reasonably calm. Your goal to is to get your message across and to truly listen to the other person's response. This gives you the opportunity to understand them better – whether this means hearing their sincere apology or their difficulties with you.
Without acknowledgment, understanding, and constructive discussion of your anger (and other emotions), your distressing feelings can eat away at your relationship until there isn't much left but negativity. So, choose to respond to these feelings in a constructive way. Use your anger to guide your understanding of your experience and as a motivation to work through problems. In this way, you can turn it to your advantage, improving your relationship and making you happier.

Confession time: I had never previously rated Grieg's three sonatas for violin and piano, probably because I had never heard them in such committed, thoroughbred performances as these by Swedish violinist Christian Svarfvar. Lighter than the Brahms sonatas, sweeter than Schumann's, they have been consigned for too long to the edges of the repertoire, and it takes a musician with a special understanding of the Norwegian composer's melodic fantasy to open our ears to music of such balmy charm and vitality.
The best known of the three is the second sonata, opening with a Lento doloroso-Allegro vivace that oscillates engagingly between the elegiac and whimsical: Svarfvar and the ever-supportive Kjekshus capture it to perfection. The naive first sonata is dominated by a folk-like idiom, the third by long shadows that verge on the tragic, and it's the Janus-faced temperament of this last piece – impassioned one moment, reflective the next – that Svarfvar projects with particular grace.
Grieg's romantic cantabile rides on such a fluent variety of ideas that listening to all three sonatas in quick succession is pure pleasure, buoyed by Svarfvar's fearless expression, rock-solid technique and stylistic acumen. This gifted violinist has done us – and Grieg – a big favour, and we must hear more from him.

Well I am almost packed for my trip and I am about to leave for the airport after I make one quick stop which I will tell you about later. Before I go I wanted to share my pictures from my niece's first play. Her school recently held their annual read-a-thon to raise money and promote reading to the kids. When I first heard about this I thought ok - school play, but when I found out the details I was blown away by the concept. Each student raises money by asking people to sponsor them per hour that they read. The kids are encouraged to read several hours each week and the parents are asked to support this effort. What really blew me away was the concept of no TV Tuesdays. Every Tuesday during the month families are asked to completely turn off their TV to encourage the child to read. No household member is supposed to watch tv and is supposed to help encourage this read-a-thon. To make sure families comply, the school actually sends out representatives on Tuesdays to randomly check on students. You never know when or if you are going to be visited and if you are found in compliance you will receive an awesome prize. I found this to be such an ingenious way t not only encourage the children's studies, but also help bring families closer by promoting conversation in lieu of the electronic brain drainer. I challenge you the reader of this blog to try going without TV or Internet for one night a week. Could you do it? Here are a couple of pictures from the play which explained the entire concept to parents and relatives (I guess they thought a note home would not suffice

type scrimmages against outside opposition at the Dexter Jamboree on Friday.
In the opening varsity matchups, Dexter faced Scott City on one end of the field, while Portageville and Kennett tangled on the other.
In the second half, Portageville met Dexter and Scott City confronted Kennett. Each team was allotted 12 offensive possessions against an opponents' defense, with play starting on the 40-yard lines.
Following varsity action, the junior varsities of all four teams paired in the same format.
The Dexter Bearcats' offense looked impressive with five touchdowns on the evening, three against Scott City and two against Portageville.
"We started off a little sluggish but got better as it went on," said Dexter coach Aaron Pixley. "We popped some pretty good plays off our running game with (starting tailback) Alex Becker and (backup tailback) Zach Ventura."
Dexter also got a scoring toss from junior quarterback Josh Stevens to junior receiver Drew Pixley.
"Our quarterbacks are young and inexperienced, but we threw some good footballs and whenever the ball hit the receivers' hands they caught it," said coach Pixley.
The Bearcat defense held its own, also, not allowing the opposition to dent its goal line.
"Defensively, we gave up a few good runs early but then we cranked up the intensity a little bit and started plugging the gaps better," said Pixley.
"For this team, which is pretty young and inexperienced, to do well, we've got to make sure that we attack on defense and do a better job of taking on lead blockers."
In summary, Pixley said, "We saw good and bad stuff tonight, but, just like every other team in Missouri, you've just got to go back to practice on Monday, work on the things you did wrong and try to get better."
The attitude of his charges drew the most praise from Portageville coach Ashley Swims.
He said, "They're playing hard. Sometimes last season, when we were faced with adversity, they kind of got their heads down a little bit, but they fought through that today and I hope it goes that way the rest of the year."
The Bulldog offense put together a solid scoring drive against Kennett, culminated by running back C.J. Medley's plunge.
"We did what we wanted to do running the ball," said Swims. "We still need a lot of improvement on getting our plays down."
Portageville's defense held Kennett scoreless, but did yield the two scores to Dexter.
"We need to be a little more aggressive on defense," added Swims, "but we're making progress there, too. So, hopefully, by next week we'll be ready to go." "Lot of youth and a lot of mistakes," lamented Scott City coach Terry Flannigan, of his sophomore-dominated squad. "We've got a lot of things to work on next week."
Scott City failed to reach the end zone, but did show flashes of offensive capability.
"Offensively, we moved the ball a little bit," said Flannigan. "Execution-wise, we're not totally satisfied, but, when we needed the yards, we usually got the yards."
Flannigan's major concern, at this juncture, is his defensive unit.
"We've got to learn to run to the ball, get off blocks and get some people there," he said. "If we don't do that, people are going to run all night on us."
It was, obviously, an eye-opening experience for the youthful Rams, who have only six seniors, three of whom have not suited up since junior high, and a handful of juniors on their roster.
"When you're going against a bunch of freshmen and sophomores in practice, you look pretty good," said Flannigan, "but we found out, when you line up against (an opponent's) No. 1s, we've got a lot of work to do."
All four teams open the regular season on Friday. Ste. Genevieve visits Dexter, Portageville entertains Piggott, Ark., Scott City travels to Malden and Kennett hosts Charleston.

How the Low-Budget 'Insidious' Scared Up Big-Time Box Office
The creators of "Paranormal Activity" are scaring up more solid sales with their latest low-budget spine-tingler "Insidious."
Made on a budget for just under a million dollars, "Insidious" earned a better-that-expected $13.5 million over the weekend. "I thought it would do $8 to $10 million," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Hollywood.com's Box-office division, via email. "I think the horror angle brought out the true fans of the genre."
Acquired at the Toronto International Film Festival by new distributor FilmDistrict, "Insidious" was also given "a big studio-level marketing spend," said FilmDistrict theatrical distribution president Bob Berney about the company's inaugural release.
But "Insidious" and "Paranormal Activity" producer Jason Blum specifically highlighted the film's low-budget when compared with its higher budget rivals. "It's amazing that we're competing with a $35 million movie and we're this successful," Blum said. "I couldn't be more thrilled with the results."
"Insidious" came in third place for the weekend behind the animated breakout "Hop" and the Jake Gyllenhaal thriller "Source Code."
While the "Insidious" numbers aren't as shocking as comparable horror hits in wide release—"Insidious" director James Wan's first film "Saw" opened with $18.2 million; 2010′s "The Last Exorcism" had a $20.4 million debut—the film's backers say whatever happens the film will be considered a financial success. "It's got to hold," said Berney, "but at the end of the day, it's going to be a very profitable film."
("Paranormal Activity" is considered by many to be the most profitable film ever made.)
With a B Cinemascore rating and 60% Rotten Tomatoes critics score, Berney is confidant that word-of-mouth on "Insidious" is strong. "It's also PG-13," he ntoed, unlike many similar horror titles. "It's very old-school 'Poltergeist' style, which I think, as it grows will help.
And people who don't normally go to see horror films, like the older audience, might check it out." Over the weekend, sales increased nearly 13% from Friday to Saturday.
Berney also singled out the film's heavily invested Latino audience, which made up 38% of ticket-buyers, according to their exit polling data. Surprisingly, it was a theater in El Paso, TX that earned one of the highest grosses of the film's more than 2,400 theater roll-out, second only to the Empire 25 in midtown Manhattan.
Next up for the producers of "Paranormal Activity" and "Insidious" is another low-budget horror movie called "The Bay," directed by studio veteran Barry Levinson. It's the second film in a five-picture deal with Canadian distributor Alliance Films, who are financing the films and releasing them in Canada, the U.K. and Spain.
"We don't do U.S. distribution until the movies are finished," said Blum. "It gives us total creative freedom."

Boisterous laughter and unbridled enthusiasm rippled through American Legion Post 64 Friday night as more than 100 supporters gathered at the Washington County Democratic Party's annual fall dinner.
"I think there is a lot of enthusiasm this year," said Ohio Senator Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville.
With so many attack ads and negative mailers during election season, Gentile said that people are turned off by all the negativity in this year's campaign and is confident that Ohioans will resonate with his agenda, to keep jobs in the hands of Ohioans.
Washington County Democratic Party chairwoman Molly Varner said she was hopeful the dinner would help invigorate party members in the last big push before the election.
"These dinners are about making sure that the Democratic base stays enthusiastic and informed in the last days of the campaign. We want to get them out talking to friends and neighbors," said Varner.
She said she also hoped the event would help highlight the Ohio Supreme Court Justice races, which often fall under the radar.
"They are not as 'razzmatazz' as the other races, but they are just as important," she noted.
Indeed, the dinner's keynote speaker, Ohio Sen. Mike Skindell, is one of the candidates for Justice this year.
"Democrats have not elected a Justice since 2000," said Skindell.
Of seven Ohio Supreme Court Justices, currently only one is a Democrat. Skindell said he has been campaigning hard, fighting against the Democratic fall off in recent years.
Former U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson said the high rate of absentee and early voting is encouraging.
"I look forward to rallying all the troops," said Wilson, who is trying to win back his seat in Congress.
Ohio House of Representatives hopeful Charlie Daniels said he has enjoyed his campaigning experience and was using Friday's dinner to acknowledge all the people who have helped his campaign.
"Tonight is about thanking everybody that has helped out this campaign. Washington County is full of some really great people," said Daniels.
Randy Burnworth, candidate for Washington County Common Pleas Court Judge, agreed.
"Most of all, I am thankful for all the support I have had. I hope to be elected judge," he said.
Burnworth was one of many local politicians to get in on the action Friday. Marietta Mayor Joe Matthews, who was recently invited to lead the Pledge of Allegiance before President Barack Obama's speaking engagement in Athens, recounted the exciting experience.
"I don't know how I was selected, but it was an honor to meet Mr. Obama," said Matthews.
Thought Matthews is not up for re-election this year, he said he is rooting for all of his fellow Democrats.
Washington County Commissioner Cora Marshall said she enjoyed getting out, meeting people and answering questions.
"When you get all these people together like this, it helps generate a little burst of enthusiasm before the election," added Ohio Rep. Debbie Phillips, D-Athens.

Rob Ford, Toronto's part-time mayor, is an addict. Among other things, he is addicted to lying. Those who are always quick to believe his side of the story are enablers. Ford doesn't need defending; he needs an intervention. He's not just hurting himself; he's hurting the whole city.
Ford has a long, well-documented history of lying, going back to when he was a city councillor, and probably originating in his childhood. His entire mayoral campaign was based on lies.
Growing up rich, spoiled and sheltered, Ford is used to getting bailed out of trouble, and then having that trouble covered

Everyone makes mistakes. If you made a mistake on a previous year's tax return, you should file an amended return, or form 1040X. You can file 1040X up to three years after the due date of the original return, or up to two years after you paid the tax, whichever comes later. Amending a previous year's tax returns does not have much or any impact on the current year's return.
Why Amend a Return
Amend a tax return to correct any mistakes you made on the original return. For example, you and your spouse may have filed separately only to realize that you would save money if you filed jointly. Other reasons to amend a tax return include adding a deduction you forgot or reporting additional income. You can also change the number of dependents you claim. Depending on what you need to change, your tax refund may increase or you may owe taxes.
Amending your tax return might mean you get a larger refund. If that is the case, you have two options. You can receive a check from the IRS, or you have the option of applying the past year's amended refund to your current year's estimated taxes due, which is the one way filing an amended return impacts the current year's taxes.
Tax Owed
If you forgot to include income on your original return and add it to your amended return, you might wind up owing tax. Depending on when you file the amendment, you may also need to pay interest on the tax owed. For example, if you file an amended 2010 return in April 2012, you may owe 12 months worth of interest on the tax due. You may also need to pay a penalty on the extra tax, since you did not pay it by the due date.
State Taxes
Filing an amended federal tax return affects your state tax return as well. The IRS warns filers to contact their state department of revenue or tax agency for information on what to do. Most states also have an amended tax return form that you need to complete to adjust your income or other tax information. You may need to pay the state more money or you may be eligible for a larger refund from your state.

In a narrow Hong Kong street filled with the tang of dried sea creatures, shopkeepers are blaming China's recent corruption crackdown for falling sales of expensive banquet foods such as shark fin and abalone. Such items have fallen off the menu since China's new leadership came to power demanding austerity from Communist Party and military officials as a means of reigning in graft and dampening public anger over corruption. Suppliers, restaurants, and hotels in the trading hub of Hong Kong all say the loss of appetite from the mainland has thinned out sales in a market looking for a portion

Men's Basketball Fights Hard Against Ranked Augustana College
December 16, 2012
The MacMurray College men's basketball team competed in a hard fought battle against Augustana College on Sunday, December 18th. The team fought to the very end, but came up just short, falling 86-74 to the Vikings.
The Highlanders shifted the momentum their way in the last twenty seconds of the first half when freshman Kollin Keltner netted a jumper. The team trailed 43-40 at the half.
MacMurray came out flat in the second half as Augustana took an early eleven point lead over the Highlanders taking advantage of some fouls and turnovers by Mac. The team never gave up as they continued to try and close the gap against the nationally ranked Vikings. Mac tried to foul late in the game to earn more possessions, however Augustana was able to execute on free throws.
Senior Luke Bishop let the Highlanders with 15 points and went 4-9 in three point shooting. After coming back from an early season injury, junior Dylan Burton totaled 13 points in his first game of the season. Senior Cody Best snatched four steals in the contest.
The Highlanders return to action on Thursday, December 20th at home when they take on Washington University St Louis for a 7:00pm game.

In 2004, Jeffrey Wisniewski was fresh out of college, living in an apartment in Lafayette and house-hunting with his future wife, when chance brought them to Hercules.
"We fell in love with the architecture on the waterfront," said Wisniewski, today a civil engineer, married, with a young son. "We liked the style, we liked the setting, so we bought in."
They looked at the new Promenade subdivision, checked out the Hercules waterfront master plan that included a ferry terminal, train station and nearby elementary school, and eventually bought a home in Baywood, the next new waterfront-area subdivision.
But today, most of a decade later, the Hercules dream that lured the Wisniewskis exists largely on paper.
The 24,000-population city on San Pablo Bay is mired in deficit and debt. The waterfront, one of many concepts that made Hercules the toast of urban architecture magazines, remains mostly undeveloped. Other pieces of the vision -- the Sycamore North residential-over-retail project, the Hercules New Town center, a "Field of Dreams" baseball complex -- are all half-finished, in limbo or abandoned altogether.
The train station and ferry terminal, supposed to be operating before the end of the last decade, have been postponed again and again. A planned Bayfront Boulevard of shops and restaurants and a surrounding neighborhood of about 1,400 homes are on hold.
Along the way, the city spent tens of millions of dollars on projects, properties and plans, with little to show for it. The financial mismanagement contributed to a recent recall and upheaval on the City Council, started by a group of fed-up residents.
Developer Jim Anderson and former interim City Manager Charlie Long, now a consultant to the city, recently agreed to sit down and try to jump-start the stalled waterfront projects, which Wisniewski and many of his neighbors look to as the long-term ticket out of the city's largely self-inflicted financial meltdown.
But even as the state last month extended $9.1 million in transportation grants for 10 months, some residents, not to mention much of the City Hall bureaucracy, are resisting the project, believing it to be too costly at a time of fiscal austerity. The city has invested more than $12 million in the project to date.
The city and the developer have been at odds over how much land the city needs to acquire from Hercules Bayfront LLC for the transit center and how it should be valued. The city's appraisal is $20 a square foot, the developer's, $33 a square foot.
Wisniewski, like many other waterfront pioneers, believes the waterfront should have been built up already.
"The funds were available prior to 2009," he said. "They (city officials) were spending money buying property instead of investing in the waterfront project. Every year they got $13 million (in tax increments) and we have nothing to show for it."
Redevelopment agency tax increments, as high as $13.5 million in 2007-2008, were down to about $9.7 million in the just-completed fiscal year.
Elsewhere in the city, Market Town, the first phase of what was supposed to be the Hercules New Town Center, is an empty lot. The city turned over title to a developer, the Red Barn Co. for zero dollars, with the proviso that the company would deliver a high density mixed-used project. Red Barn turned around and encumbered it with a $2.5 million mortgage, without building anything.
The project's $12 million primary budget is virtually depleted, largely frittered away on consultants and their travel, hotel and other expenses.
'Dynamic trade area' touted
Nearer to the waterfront, the hulking skeleton of Sycamore North, stalled and only half-complete, dominates the skyline over what a 2009 city-authored brochure described as a "dynamic trade area," to open in spring 2011, that would draw patrons from all Hercules and beyond with "a collection of the finest local, national and regional restaurants and specialty retailers."
Today the Hercules Redevelopment Agency-owned mixed-use project, with more than $30 million already spent, faces a funding gap on the order of $30 million and a possible future as a largely low-income housing complex.
And earlier this year, after having spent almost $2 million, the city abandoned plans for a Big League Dreams sports complex outside the city limits, bending to the reality that prospects for future annexation are uncertain and the owner of the land, ConocoPhillips, opposed the project. Not to mention the approximately $20 million it would take to build it.
Meanwhile, the city is emerging from a months-long struggle to plug a $6 million budget deficit. Even after the recent layoffs of 30 to 40 percent of the city workforce, the 2011-2012 general fund budget still has a structural deficit, with $800,000 coming from a reserve. The Redevelopment Agency's non-housing budget has a $1.9 million deficit; most of this year's deficit would be made up by the pending sale of a trucking yard on the city's eastern outskirts for $1.4 million.
Hercules' fledgling renaissance originated in a series of community planning charettes in 2000, culminating in the Central Hercules and Waterfront plans that have won accolades from smart-planning groups.
"The Hercules vision is to have a compact, walkable center of town," former Community Development Director Steve Lawton said as late as 2007 in an interview with the West County Times. "Other cities are talking about it, but Hercules is doing it, and so it's being used as a model for how California can grow."
"It gets back to having a vision and sticking to it," Lawton said at the time. "Soon Herculeans will have many more choices on how to get around: ferry, train, bus and ultimately BART" -- the reference was to a hoped-for future BART extension to be called 'wBART.'
Lawton today is the president of the Northern California chapter of the Congress for the New Urbanism.
As late as 2009, Bayfront and New Town Center received citations from the Greenbelt Alliance as models of pedestrian-, bicycle- and mass transit-oriented communities with jobs close to homes.
Hercules began the 2000s with a growth spurt that added more than 1,500 residential units by around mid-decade: Victoria by the Bay, Promenade, Baywood and Bayside, mostly during the tenure of former City Manager Mike Sakamoto.
The City Council flirted with the idea of a Wal-Mart store near the waterfront, eventually flip-flopping under pressure from residents who saw a big-box store with acres of parking as a betrayal of the pedestrian-friendly, New Urbanism philosophy underlying the Central Hercules Plan. After an unsuccessful attempt to acquire the retailer's 17.25-acre property by eminent domain in 2006, the city bought it in 2009 for $13.9 million, dipping into the proceeds of a 2007 bond issue that was supposed to pay mostly for infrastructure and improvements related to the intermodal transit center.
The site is now vacant and was most recently used to store dirt from the I-80 widening project.
The Nelson Oliva era
By then, the city manager was Nelson Oliva, once a protege of Sakamoto in the city of Bellflower in the mid 1980s. Oliva came to Hercules in late 2003 as a consultant with his firm, Affordable Housing Solutions Group, also known later as NEO Consulting Inc. He was tasked with reviving an affordable housing program suspended after a financial scandal. Just weeks earlier, a city employee, Darrick Chavis, and an outside accomplice, LaMark Kevin Lassiter, had been arrested on suspicion of cleaning out a city housing beautification fund to the tune of almost $400,000 with phony invoices; the duo eventually were sentenced to federal prison.
When Sakamoto retired in 2007, the council appointed Oliva, who several months earlier had divested himself of his company, he said, transferring it to two of his daughters. In the ensuing years, the city's business with NEO would grow to more than $1 million a year, the contracts breezing through the City Council on the consent calendar. The company added additional tasks to its portfolio, from administering business development loans and mortgage bailout loans to community cleanup and overseeing the installation of tamper-resistant mailboxes.
In the Oliva years, the Redevelopment Agency went on a buying spree. The shopping list included the vacant 11.44-acre so-called Penterra Poe site west of San Pablo Avenue and 3.9 acres now occupied by the unfinished Duck Pond Park for an aggregate $14.5 million; Victoria Crescent, a vacant 6.37-acre, commercial-zoned parcel on San Pablo Avenue, for $3.4 million; the 3.5-acre Yellow Freight trucking yard for $1.9 million; the five-building Venture Commerce Center II, for $13.4 million; and the Wal-Mart property for $13.9 million.
All the while, the city's finances were deteriorating.
In early October, Oliva went on medical leave. Charlie Long, installed as interim city manager later that month, promptly sounded the alarm about the city's finances. But in early December, the City Council, with two lame-duck members, dismissed Long by a unanimous vote in closed session and reinstated Oliva, if only for a month.
Angry residents recall two council members
The firing of Long, coupled with the reinstatement of Oliva, arguably was the pivotal event in the resignation of then-Mayor Ed Balico in January and the June 7 recall, by overwhelming margins, of the two remaining members of the 2010 City Council, Don Kuehne and then-Mayor Joanne Ward.
"It woke up a sleeping giant of apathetic residents," said Wisniewski, who in 2007 had created a website, Waterfront Watch, that served as a community forum and challenged City Hall for more than three years; it currently is dormant.
A new City Council faces the daunting task to unravel the fiscal mess and somehow steer Hercules back onto its erstwhile path to glory.
"To get out of this financial crisis, the city should aggressively find ways to generate revenue," Mayor Myrna de Vera said this week. "Among all the projects, the Bayfront/ITC is the most promising economic engine because this transit-oriented development is unique and of regional interest."
De Vera and Vice Mayor John Delgado are the longest-tenured members of the new City Council after their victory in November over incumbents Kris Valstad and Joe Eddy McDonald; the other three members, inaugurated in June, are Dan Romero, William Wilkins and Gerard Boulanger. The city also has a new interim city manager in Liz Warmerdam after the recent resignation of Fred Deltorchio, the longtime police chief who had served as interim city manager since Oliva's resignation in January.
A wiser Wisniewski remains bullish about the future of Hercules and its waterfront.
"Looking forward, I still have great hopes for the city," Wisniewski said, citing "its location: its proximity to San Francisco and Oakland and the Wine Country; a willing developer; community support, a potential for funding, and an award-winning plan."
"All the pieces are there."

Yesterday, it was confirmed — SnapChat raised a big round of funding. By now, everyone also knows that SnapChat is a new communication medium, a phenomena reflecting a desire for ephemerality, and the fastest-growing consumer app out there today. As I was drafting this post last night, Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers mentioned the service during the shows "Weekend Update" news segment.
We do not know how large SnapChat will become. So, just for fun, let's assume SnapChat continues to grow and actually turns out to be "the next big thing," in the same manner that Instagram and Pinterest ascended over the past few years. If this happens, there are fascinating facts about SnapChat that challenge many widely-held assumptions within the tech startup community:
SnapChat may have been initially viewed as a "toy," reminiscent of Chris Dixon's famous post on this topic. What may have initially seemed like a gimmick could likely be, as Dustin Curtis artfully opined, a new communication medium all together. Again, I have no clue if SnapChat will be a runaway hit like Instagram. I have never even used the app or service. But the facts around the company's founders, its location, and its offerings provide a provocative challenge to many widely-held assumptions about what ingredients are required for consumer technology success. SnapChat shows it can be done within the confines of college, done outside of the Valley or NYC, done without Facebook or Twitter, and done by leveraging the most important sensor (camera) on the most important devices (phones). And, if SnapChat can continue to grow and become the next Instagram-like sensation, it would have done so as many other breakouts have — by being improbable, by being initially dismissed, and by overcoming many or all of the assumptions many of us hold inside and believe to be conventional wisdom.
Snapchat is the fastest way to share a moment with friends.
You control how long your friends can view your message –
simply set the timer up to ten seconds and send. They'll have that long to view your message and then it disappears forever. We'll let you know if they take a screenshot!

If you're reading this, it's probably because you just stopped whatever writing you are pretending to do and googled "distraction-free writing apps."
So, let's be clear: you're the distraction.
If you can't write what you need to write in your CMS, a Word doc, Text Edit, Google Docs, Evernote, or similar, then you are the problem. Each of these programs let you start with a blank screen. If you're one of the few people in the world that can still read your own handwriting, you can even go the analog route and use pen and paper. But know that when you search for a "distraction free writing app," what you really want is to buy yourself a few more minutes — hours, days — before writing that thing that you need to write.
I should know. For the past six months or so, I have been downloading and testing distraction-free writing apps just knowing that I'll find one that will be the key to me upping my productivity. To my chagrin, I haven't been writing a ton of essays or blog posts or novel chapters lately. But I have enjoyed playing around with several apps for my Mac and iPad/iPhone to see what works best for my writing and jotting needs.
I know I'm going to knock this essay out of the park…as soon as I find the perfect distraction-free markdown writing app.
