Study: Post Sandy power outage time not extraordinary
NEW YORK — As the number of nights without power stretched on for thousands left in the dark after Superstorm Sandy, patience understandably turned to anger and outrage.
But an Associated Press analysis of outage times from other big hurricanes and tropical storms suggests that, on the whole, the response to Sandy by utility companies, especially in hardest-hit New York and New Jersey, was typical — or even a little faster than elsewhere after other huge storms.

CENTRAL VALLEY — A Monroe-Woodbury Middle School music teacher accused of slapping a student last week won't be ticketed for the incident because the boy's parents wanted the matter handled internally by the school district, Woodbury Police Chief Richard Vasquez said Monday.
Keith Sherman, who could have been cited for harassment, was placed on paid administrative leave by the school district after the incident on Thursday.
Administrators are expected to discuss it with the school board behind closed doors on March 19.
Sherman, who is 65 and has worked for the district for 33 years, already planned to retire at the end of the school year.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Manipulation Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Aunt Polly asked him questions that were full of guile, and very deep -- for she wanted to trap him into damaging revealments. Like many other simple-hearted souls, it was her pet vanity to believe she was endowed with a talent for dark and mysterious diplomacy, and she loved to contemplate her most transparent devices as marvels of low cunning. (1.25)
Aunt Polly's faith in her own ingenuity, the very thing that keeps Tom going, is her undoing.
Quote #2
""Ben, I'd like to, honest injun; but Aunt Polly -- well, Jim wanted to do it, but she wouldn't let him; Sid wanted to do it, and she wouldn't let Sid. Now don't you see how I'm fixed? If you was to tackle this fence and anything was to happen to it --"
"Oh, shucks, I'll be just as careful. Now lemme try." (2.40-1)
Tom's trick, however clever or charming it may be, is still a form of manipulation.
Quote #3
The boys were all eaten up with envy -- but those that suffered the bitterest pangs were those who perceived too late that they themselves had contributed to this hated splendor by trading tickets to Tom for the wealth he had amassed in selling whitewashing privileges. (4.43)
Though Tom's whitewashing scheme is ingenious, his ability to quickly "flip" his loot and turn it into an entirely different kind of prize – both a Bible and the recognition of adults – represents a unique kind of cunning.

Recognizing her dedication to health care in North Texas, former Texas Sen. Florence Shapiro will receive the Distinguished Health Service Award at the 65th annual awards banquet Oct. 24 at the Arlington Convention Center, 1200 Ballpark Way in Arlington.
Shapiro served as Plano's mayor, city councilmember and president of the Texas Municipal League before she was elected to the Texas Senate in 1993.
As a senator, she is probably best known for spearheading the creation of Ashley's Laws, which strengthened the laws that track and punish sexual predators of children. Honoring the memory of Ashley Estell of Plano, Ashley's Laws became national benchmarks credited with saving more than 500 children and earned Shapiro the Legislator of the Year Award from the Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas.
Renowned historian and Pulitzer-Prize winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin will be the keynote speaker.
The event is sponsored by the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council. Visit dfwhc.org to reserve tickets at $150.

Celebrities seated with sponsors and their guests at Frisco's Embassy Suites included honorary chair and former Dallas Mavericks player Derek Harper, emcees Ben Rogers and Jeff Wade (Ben & Skin from 105.3 The Fan) and their fellow talk show hosts RJ Choppy, Mark Elfenbein and Mike Fisher; and Dallas Mavericks president Donnie Nelson.
Former Dallas Cowboys players Everson Walls, Billy Joe Dupree and Thomas Everett also attended. Everett accompanied Channel 8's Rebecca Lopez, and Walls was still speaking to Ben & Skin after they pranked him on the air earlier in the week in a plug for City House and the gala.
Other glitterati included Frisco Mayor Maher Maso, former Plano mayors Pat Evans and Phil Dyer and current Plano Councilman David Downs.
City House also will benefit from the Ebby Halliday Frisco Fifth Annual Charity Golf Tournament on Oct. 24 at Stonebriar Country Club, 5050 Country Club Drive in Frisco.

NYCC 2012: DnA Go Cosmic Again in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Announced last week in the buzz surrounding New York Comic Con, New Jersey-based comic publisher Dynamite Entertainment has recruited the veteran writing duo of Abnett and Lanning to take on its Battlestar Galactica comics franchise to a new era. Based on the continuity of the original series and picking up where screenwriter Marc Guggenheim left off a few years back, Abnett and Lanning will continue Galactica's journey in a new series set for release in 2013, the 35-year anniversary of the franchise. The "DnA" duo are long-time fans of Battlestar Galactica.
Since it's creation some 34 years ago, Battlestar Galactica has gone through several permutations be it television, novels and even comics. But as ardent fans of the original 1978 series, Abnett and Lanning see a simple through line that defines the concept and makes it stand out from other space concepts.
"We both grew up watching the original Battlestar Galactica series," DnA said. "In the wake of Star Wars and on the crest of the '70s fascination with all things sci-fi, Battlestar Galactica stood out because it presented TV viewers with Hollywood style SFX and developed an epic space opera with a compelling and memorable cast of characters and truly scary villains that have stood the test of time."
"As we said we've got fond memories for the original BSG series and being given the opportunity to add and develop the ideas and continuity of that universe is really exciting." said the duo. "What was very appealing was picking up from where the last series left off because of the decades that have past. It means that everything has changed, the characters, the world, the entire human race. This is fascinating and creatively full of possibilities."This sort of world building and alternated reality setting are like cat-nip for us. We are in Battlestar Galactica heaven right now and hope that readers will join us for some exciting and unexpected stories that hopefully will expand the Battlestar Galactica legacy." Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

LIVERMORE -- An invading army of well-wishers landed at the Livermore Veterans' Hospital recently, on a mission to brighten the holidays for ill and aging service members.
Armed only with enthusiasm, groups of Boy and Girl Scouts, Granada High School cheerleaders and leadership members and members of service, church and military support organizations stormed the halls of the outpatient hospital and nursing home on Dec. 7. In their wake they left glittering garlands and brightly lit trees at both buildings, as well as small Christmas gifts for the 90 long-term residents of the nursing facility.
The yearly decorating event is sponsored by the Veterans Remembrance Committee, a small group of retired service members who work quietly to improve the circumstances of veterans around the area. Founded in 1926 as the Veterans Christmas Committee, the organization began with a simple purpose -- to foster public remembrance and appreciation for the veterans' service and to bring cheer to Bay Area military hospitals over the Christmas holiday.
"The idea was to go to hospitals to decorate and to provide gifts and entertainment for those hospitalized veterans who were away from home," said Joseph Ratto, a board member whose aunt, Mary Valle, was involved in the American Legion and who was instrumental in the group's formation decades ago. "It was an entire group of volunteers -- no one was ever paid."
In the early days of the organization, donors would have their names published in the Oakland Tribune by editor and publisher William Knowland, a supporter of the group, said Ratto. The invested proceeds of those early donations continue to fund the group's work. In addition to decorating the Livermore hospital, the organization provides a holiday entertainment program and gifts at the Livermore hospital and at the Martinez Outpatient Clinic that is part of the VA Northern California Health Care System.
Among patients enjoying the day was 10-year Air Force veteran Tortillas Bailey, 51, who has been at the nursing facility for three years.
"I appreciate this place," she said with a smile, watching a group of teenage Boy Scouts decorate a nearby tree. "When I was that age I didn't know anything about this kind of volunteering."
Near her sat 91-year-old Marine veteran John Schultheis, who served in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945 and took part in the Battle of Guadalcanal. He sat straight-backed in a wheelchair watching the young Scouts.
"This is nice; I think it's wonderful," he said. "They didn't have anything like this when I was a kid. They're helping everybody ... and it's an opportunity for them to come out and talk to us."
One of those Scouts, Coletrane Phillips, 14, of Pack 888 in San Ramon, paused from draping a strand of silver beads on the tree.
"We come here every year," he said. "We like helping the vets; it's important to us. It brings home the holiday to us, and makes us feel better about ourselves."
Scout Parker Shields, 15, agreed.
"They put their lives on the line for us," he said. "We should give at least a little for them."

On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge -- a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan's inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound's control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.

Growth decisions endanger future

To The Editor: May blessings rain upon Stephen Black for his column May 2 shredding the biased misleading comments in Tom Coopers defense of the County Commissioners.
I enjoy Mr. Blacks columns, but not because I agree with everything he says. I am a fan of his unadorned honesty. There is no deception, as there was in Mr. Coopers and Mr. Worrells defense of the boards implementation of land use policies.
I do not know Mr. Black but I do know that I dont have to worry about him shooting me in the back. Sadly, I cannot say that about the majority of the County Commissioners, members of the Planning Board, and their supporters Cooper and Worrell.
They have been shooting us all in the back, by enacting or distorting land-use practices. Their pro-development decisions contribute to a steady erosion of our future economic base: namely, the natural beauty of our mountains and watersheds, the reason most of us live here.
We need board members who are as passionate as Mr. Black about our county. Surely we must have concerned and talented retirees who can provide a new direction for healthy, sustainable land and water use. Please step up. Henderson County needs you.

Mike Rogers' Tee Time Tips
Watch Your Backswing to Hit it Straighter: My son Jeremy, who plays collegiate golf for Marshall University, is now home for the summer and is having some trouble hitting his driver consistent. We went out on the course today, and I watched him hit a few balls with his driver and other clubs. I found that he was swinging the club inside on the backswing. This caused him to trap the club behind him and either pull-hook it if he started the downswing with his shoulders or push-fade it when he does not get the club back to catch up with his torso turn. My findings were confirmed with a video clip of his swing.
The correction for this "trapping" on the backswing is to swing the golf club on your backswing in a "line" that appears from the view of the player as though it is pushing to the outside of the target line.

The sixth hole at Stonewall Resort is a par-4 that plays anywhere from 106 to 166 yards.
However you will really be swinging straight back instead of to the inside. This will allow the left shoulder to turn in under the chin and then allow you to swing the club properly.
Tee Time Tip of the Week: Watch your backswing. Swing the club back as if it appears to be outside the target line, and you can hit it straighter.

Hoosier Morning: Weekly Roundup

VIDEO: Off the court with IU Volleyball
Thu., May. 12, 2016
WHAT HAPPENED: Indiana survived a painfully-slow first half with a 27-18 lead and then poured 49 points on Nebraska in the second half to run away with a 76-47 victory in front of 17,472 at Assembly Hall.
The No. 1 Hoosiers opened the second half with a 7-0 run and went on a 15-2 run shortly thereafter to take a 54-30 lead and effectively bury the 11th-place Cornhuskers. The Hoosiers kept pouring it on and led by 31 with less than a minute to go before alate layup by Sergej Vucetic cut it under 29 points.
WHO MADE IT HAPPEN: IU sophomore center Cody Zeller only played 18 minutes because of foul trouble, but he still scored 16 points. He was 4-for-9 from the field, 8-for-11 at the line and had a steal and a fast-break dunk at at one point.
Senior forward Christian Watford continued a very consistent stretch with a double-double, posting 13 points and 11 rebounds, knocking down all six of his free throws. Nebraska didn't make it easy for junior guard Victor Oladipo to find his offense, clogging the lanes to make it difficult for him to drive, but he hit a 3-pointer and also crashed the offensive glass for buckets and finished with 13 points, eight rebounds and three steals.
Junior swingman Will Sheehey had nine points and point guards Jordan Hulls and Yogi Ferrell had eight each with Hulls hitting a pair of 3-pointers and also dishing out three assists.
WHY DID IT HAPPEN: Indiana was stymied on some level by Nebraska's constrictive play in the first half, but the Hoosiers stayed patient, got the ball in the lane, drew fouls and defended well enough to keep their heads above water. They shot just 31.6 percent from the field in the first half (6-for-19), but they also shot 13-for-16 from the free throw line and held Nebraska to 7-for-17 shooting. The Hoosiers went more than 10 minutes without a field goal from the 18:59 mark in the first half to the 8:45 mark, but they only trailed 14-13 when Sheehey broke the streak with a left-handed layup.
The Hoosiers started to find an offensive rhythm toward the end of the first half, and when they started hitting 3's in the second half, the offense was able to operate much more freely. The Cornhuskers packed the lane as tightly as they possibly could with as many men as they could to keep the Hoosiers from getting driving lanes and post touches, but the 3's drew them out and made it easier to get looks in the paint. IU finished 16-for-29 from the field in the second half and 6-for-9 from the line while continuing to shoot a high mark at the free throw line, hitting 11 of 13 free throws to finish 24-for-29 for the game.
The Hoosiers also won the turnover battle big, turning it over just nine times and scoring 18 points off of Nebraska's 15 giveaways. They allowed just one Cornhusker player, senior guard Dylan Talley, to score in double figures with 16 points. Junior guard Ray Gallegos, the team's leading scorer for the season, shot just 3-for-14 from the field and 2-for-10 from beyond the arc to finish with eight points.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN:This Indiana victory certainly didn't surprise anybody. Nebraska is grossly overmatched talent-wise, Indiana was heavily favored, and KenPom.com pegged an Indiana victory as a 98 percent probability.
But this win could help the Hoosiers in almost the same way that inoculation helps fight disease. Nebraska is in a way, a weakened form of the Wisconsin virus. The Cornhuskers are in no way as good at playing the constrictive, grind-it-out game that the Badgers do. The Cornhuskers do it because they are low on talent and need a way to compete. Wisconsin does it as a program philosophy and has been recruiting players for decades to fit the system. But the fact remains that the Hoosiers had to keep their cool and composure and not force the issue against a team that wanted desperately to limit possessions. They waited for the right opportunity to get the pace going and took it. Dictating tempo against Nebraska isn't the same as dictating tempo against Wisconsin, but there are some ways in which the Hoosiers can use Wednesday's performance as a model if they get Wisconsin in the Big Ten Tournament or another grind-it-out squad in the NCAA's.
Tom Crean
"One thing we are trying to make sure that our team continually understands is that to win big, to win really big, you've got to be able to play a lot of different ways, and as much as we want to set the pace and tempo, sometimes — you don't have to have patience — but you have got to wait for your opportunity and as long as you're playing solid and as long as you're sticking with what you know works, sometimes those opportunities come when you least expect it or they come when you force the temo just a little bit more defensively because you can. I think tonight was a little bit like that. We kept waiting for he game to go our way in the first half and nobody got discouraged or sped up to the point where we started forcing the action. We probably didn't get it inside as much as we needed to in the first half, especially where we were in the bonus at the 10:53 mark. I thought we were playign really hard, really solid and just waiting for it ot break and in the second half, they did something about it even that much more. I think that's the sign of a team that's maturing and getting better. Like I said to them at halftime, when the score is low because a couple of the guys mentioned we only had X amount of points, we're not trying to set records. We're trying to win a National Championship."
"We didn't break down and take too many quick jump shots that led to easy baskets for them. We missed some shots, but the other big thing, and you know it as well as I know it, when we don't turn the ball over, we're a lot better. Every team can say that, but when you score the points that this team is scoring, when you have the offensive efficiency that they have, which is so highly ranked nationally with that, and you eliminate those turnovers, I don't know what our points per possession was tonight, but I know it was really high, and they're starting to really get that. (Graduate assistant) Seth Cooper did a phenomenal job of showing them the value of a turnover, not only to the other team, but how much it hurts us. We had that study for these guys the other day, when we don't turn it over, we're an eye-popping 1.47 points per possession That's unbelievable."
Christian Watford
"That's just a big part of our offense, period. We don't want to hang our hats on long jump shots. Any time we can get it in the paint and get some fouls, that's great for our offense."
Maurice Creek
On the 3's opening up the offense
"I think it changed a lot. They do pack the lane, and when everybody started knocking down open shots, it opened the floor up for everybody."

yes, slow start but a solid finish. GREAT GAME and keep woking at it guys.we appreciate the effort..
I know that NE plays slow, but that was still an impressive defensive performance by the Hoosiers. The stats are all there – 47 pts, 37% FG, 15 TO's, 5 blocks, and only committed 12 fouls. But it was even more impressive with our top 6 players on the court. We held them to 18 Points in the first half and they had only 41 when we subbed with 3 minutes to go.
I thought Dipo was phenomenal once again on defense. In the first 6 minutes he had directly created 4 TO's without registering a steal. They came on a forced travel, getting a hand on a ball that led to a scramble and a kicked ball, forcing a pass that went directly out of bounds, and then took a charge. The charge call was huge because it gave their best big man, Ubel, his 2nd foul, forcing him to the bench, and ended up being the catalyst for an IU run that took them from down 3 to up 9 at half.
Over the course of the game he managed to pick up 3 steals as well, but those first 6 minutes were a clinic in how to dominate a game from the defensive end or without ever touching the ball.
Is it just me, or is anyone else just amazed every time Cody Zeller goes out to mid court, steals the ball from a guard and then takes it the length of the court for an easy dunk? Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anyone a 7′ center make such play before, EVER! But Zeller has done this numerous times, so it's not an accident. His technique is excellent and of all the great things he does, those steals demonstrate his unique athletic ability.
I was watching the game last night with a neighbor. He's not an IU fan in particular, but he loves college basketball and he roots for IU when his favorite team, New Mexico, is not playing. When Zeller made that play, he just turned to me and exclaimed, "WOW. That's Unbelievable!"
Agree with you, Podunker…Then again, I marvel at the varied sets of athletic skills possessed by every guy on our roster…
For all the crap Watford has taken, he shoots the ball in transition from the perimeter better than most guards in the Big 10. He's only a couple inches shorter than Cody and has had assignments to guard smaller and superbly athletic combo guards/forwards…His irreplaceable versatility provides even more ammunition for the explosive highlight reel guys that get most the 'future NBAer' chatter.
And I don't believe we see anywhere near our current level of success(or the potentially deep tournament run success if we play up to our capabilities and play unselfishly) without the multiple offensive dynamics, defensive energy, penetration skills, elevated court coverage and court vision, that our standout freshman point guard, Yogi Ferrell, infuses into our team.
No doubt that Oladipo and Cody provide more 'wow factor'…But when it comes to integral pieces a dynamic team, and the impossibility to shut down one aspect our team without being vulnerable another threat, I still believe Yogi is the difference-maker that makes a six banner a closer reality within the unexpected twists and turns of hot and cold in an NCAA win or go home scenario.
Exceptional point guard play is the "must have" to make it all look so nearly effortless at times.
I know Geoff will blow his fountain pen over this…but I do believe the chances a great tournament run would be far less likely a current roster minus Ferrell than one without Oladipo. I believe Sheehey and Remy could fill the voids in offense and defense. I don't think you fill the void losing the energize bunny point guard.
Yogi is surprising a lot of those in the national media that did not foresee the steep curve of his progression. He plays with a maturity and poise that allows us to be so much more dangerous. And I ate my words completely when I said his major Achilles heel was his perimeter jumper. He has already buried some damn big shots this year. Not ready to call him Isiah, but the kid is far stronger and gifted than I ever imagined.
Po – I'm gonna go all Harvard on you and do the I-told-ya-so thing… Do you believe me now that Cody is the best big man hedging defender in the last 30 years in college, and the best period since Kevin Garnett?
The 3 things I've been touting several times over in the last year are:
1) Dipo is a NBA player and the most impactful player on the team
2) Jordy is a way better defender than he's given credit… Because he is above average team defender and an exceptional transition defender
3) Cody is the best defender of the high screen that I've ever seen at the college level
I think those things are all proving to be true.
IU recruiting note: Fischer just moved from outside the ESPN top 100 to #67. Telep was gaga over his performance against Diamond Stone.
Speaking of great point guard play… I just saw that Vonleh's teammate Travis Jorgenson just committed to Georgia Tech, for those of you interested and have been following my chronicles.
And Jordy was a way better team defender last year than was ever given credit.
And it's why the Seth Davis piece was one of the most mean-spirited things ever put in print used to make a kid feel like he was only important as it pertained to the local 'homer' crowd.
Take Hulls leadership and deadly marksmanship off the court and see how far we go.
Hulls could end up with a bigger NBA career than Oladipo..Don't bet against him.
^Undoubtedly the DUMBEST THING hillbilly has ever said.
It's obvious he is only trying to incite Geoff because the hick is jealous of Geoff's BASKETBALL intellect.
Hillbilly must have the lien on Dustin's mortgage for him to get away with his crap.
Great post Geoff.
With your little dig aimed at me, I could tell you needed to feel loved…I know it's not you know who1, but maybe it can provide you some solace.
Geoff, I'm a bit confused by your question, "Do you believe me now that Cody is the best big man hedging defender in the last 30 years in college,…." To the best of my recollection, I never discussed or debated this subject with you or anyone else on this blog, so I'm not sure how the "I told you so" thing applies to me.
Having said that, while I respect your opinion, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "hedging defender." So let me just say this. Cody may be the best sophomore big man hedging defender in college in the last 30 years. Is he the best of all big men in the last 30 years? I think it is unfair to compare a sophomore, no matter how gifted he is, with big men that played through their senior years. If Cody had two more years in college (which I think we all agree is never going to happen), it is highly likely that he would become the best big man hedge defender to ever play college basketball.
As for his defense in general, he has room to improve his defense in the paint (especially on in-bounds passes), primarily because he lacks the weight, strength and physical maturity, as a sophomore, to stop some of those big wide-bodied centers that outweigh him by 30 pounds. I'd also like to see him play with a little more nasty in him (a little Kent Benson attitude). But overall, I would not trade Cody for any other center in the college game right now. No one that I've seen this year can match his range of skills, his hustle, his unselfishness, and his BB IQ.
Victor is boarding the train for the NBA..HOLA DEPOT!!
We must win it all this year. Fear the golden arches basketball empire once again growing to the southeast. NBA fast food is a #1 combo at the Lexington drive-thru.
Po – yeah, I don't think anyone has ever really debated me on that point, but I've brought it up a couple times without much response either way. I wasn't challenging you as much as looking for confirmation.
By "hedging defender" I mean he steps out and "hedges" the ball-handler when his man sets a ball-screen. He does it without fouling, is consistently able to force the man further out, and occasionally gets steals. I'm not sure I've ever seen him get split or seen a guard effectively turn the corner on him. It's certainly unusual and rather miraculous that he is able to do that as well as he does.
I absolutely agree with your last paragraph.
Hasn't Cody stated a thousand times he played point guard late junior high/early HS before his big growth spurt?
Is it such a shocking revelation that he can 'hedge.'
What's shocking is that he didn't lose all those ball handling and ball defending skills when his body underwent the huge metamorphosis.
His post play has shown big improvement of late…This hedge talk and 'pat myself on the back' BS is just another way Geoff's is diverting from the worthlessness his other main Cody Doctrine of recent week where he was filling our ears with how Crean has slopped up the offense by not giving the green light to Cody to loft garbage from the 3-point line with some of his standstill NBA form.
With the skills he has around the post, and free throw accuracy that put guys like Shaq and Howard to shame, his growing overall dominance has no need to be wasted taking himself 25 feet from the hoop(For what? He'll be a high draft pick anyway. He doesn't need to experiment with a shot he's shown little confidence and now be defended by much more skilled athletes than he ever went against in 3A high school ball..If he's wanting to experiment with a 3-point shot during close games? I'm all for it if he's willing to stay at Indiana for two more years and a couple more banners..Then I'm all for it. Launch some throwaway bombs).
I'm not too worried to be 'hedging' any bets that Cody is learning his way around dominating the paint and baseline enough that we'll likely see a 3-pointer come with the same regularity a Hulls dunk.

News Pro Names '12 To Watch in TV News'
By Merrill Knox on December 21, 2012 4:07 PM
TV Week's News Pro magazine has assembled a list of "12 to Watch in TV News." Unsurprisingly, incoming CNN president Jeff Zucker, who says "just because you're not partisan doesn't mean you can't be exciting," tops the list.
Notably, there are only two other cable personalities on the list: MSNBC's weekend host Chris Hayes and Fox News' Supreme Court reporter Shannon Bream, who has taken on an expanded role in the network's political coverage this year….

Wattage Calculator
Calculate Your Power Needs
Before you start comparing models or shopping prices, we highly recommend to first identify your power needs. This helps you select the portable generator that is right for you. You may start by using our Wattage Calculator to calculate power needs. You can then you can select the category of portable generators you may need to buy.
To do so, start by looking around your home and figure out which appliances or gadgets you really must have when the power goes out. Write down everything that uses power, and put them into 2 groups:
1. Must-have items (like your fridge and lights)
2. Would-like-to-have items (like a dishwasher)
Once you've done this, use our wattage calculator to total up total power needed.
TIP: look at the manufacturer's label on your appliance for most accurate ratings.
Watts = amps x 120v (for 120v appliances)
* The information provided on this page is for reference only, and should be verified with actual ratings on your appliances.
Important Note: Appliances with electric motors (like a well pump) will have a high surge ratings. Please review your manufacturer's label for details

Weekly Update: Remember the Dead, Fight for the Living
Workers Memorial Day
Each year, we gather to commemorate the hardworking Oregonians who died on the job and to renew our promise to creating safer workplaces. The Occupational Safety and Health Act, passed by Congress four decades ago, promises the right to a safe workplace – and although some industries are inherently dangerous, we can always do more to protect Oregonians on the job. That's why it's up to us to make sure that there are protocols ensuring our safety, and that we are working safe – and that's why we speak up when our sisters and brothers encounter dangerous working conditions.

Under his Leadership, VA Makes Strides in Health Care and IT Modernization
Under Nicholson's leadership, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) continued its evolution as a leader in health care innovations, medical research, education services, home loan and other benefits to veterans. He transformed the VA health care system to meet the unique medical requirements of the returning combatants from
In his letter of resignation, Nicholson praised and thanked the President for the honor of serving him and our Nation's veterans in this key post at such a "critical time in our nation's global war on terror."
"The VA is a dynamic organization dedicated to serving our nation's finest citizens – our veterans," Nicholson said. "It has been an honor and privilege to lead the VA during this historic time for our men and women who have worn the uniform. We have accomplished so much and the VA is always striving to improve our services to veterans."
Nicholson said he wants to return to the private sector. "This coming February, I turn 70 years old, and I feel it is time for me to get back into business, while I still can." He said he has no definite plans at this time.
He also addressed an assembled group of
"VA has come a long way in meeting the growing needs and expectations of our veterans and you deserve the credit," Nicholson said.
Nicholson, a Vietnam Veteran, was sworn in as Secretary of Veterans Affairs on February 1, 2005.
During Secretary Nicholson's tenure at the Department of Veterans Affairs:
"This is a very big Government agency that, among many other things, sees over 1 million patients a week in its health care system, and is doing a world class job," Nicholson said. "The American people can feel proud about the way we are treating our veterans. The President and the Congress have been very supportive and for that I am grateful as well."
Nicholson thanked the President, "he has given me terrific opportunities to serve my country and under his strong and supportive leadership, it has been a real privilege."
Nicholson left the private business world over 10 years, where he ran a successful residential development and construction company. He was elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee in January 1997. Immediately prior to becoming Secretary, he served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See.

(WOMENSENEWS)--When Patricia Negri left her daughter, she disappeared by degrees.
During the first stage of Alzheimer's disease, she fell silent in the middle of conversations and sat staring into the middle distance.
In the moderate stage, she ignored her daughter's pleas that she bathe and wash her hair.
In the late stage, she lost the words she needed to communicate along with her motor functioning and her sense of time.
"In the end, she was no longer able to recognize me," says Kathleen Negri, an elder law attorney in Denver, Colo. "But when she died, all I could do was rejoice because I knew she was finally free."
The story of Negri and her daughter Kathleen, who served as her mother's caregiver during the six years she struggled with Alzheimer's, illustrates the unique needs that women face when it comes to this devastating disease.
Women are especially threatened by Alzheimer's, which affects 4.5 million Americans, has no cure and can lead to emotional, physical and financial ruin, according to a recent report by the Red Bank, N.J.-based National Women's Health Resource Center, Inc..
"Women are not only at increased risk for getting Alzheimer's, but also more likely to take care of Alzheimer's patients," says Amy Niles, president of the National Women's Health Resource Center. "Thus, women bear a double burden when it comes to this progressive, irreversible disease."
Women More Likely to Develop Alzheimer's
Though women are only slightly more likely to develop Alzheimer's than men, its prevalence among women is twice as high simply because women live longer, with a life expectancy of 80 years versus 75 for men. Half of all women over 85 in the U.S. will eventually develop this disease.
Women also face unique health conditions that boost their risk. More women than men struggle with obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol--conditions that increase the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's begins when proteins in the brain stop performing their normal function and instead cluster into two types of lesions: neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. Over time, these brain lesions start to kill brain cells and erode learning, memory and reason.
Though some people have a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer's, most develop the "sporadic" form of the disease and do so at an average age of 80. While some develop dementia within a few years, others do so within a decade or longer.
Alzheimer's advance is generally broken into three stages. The first is marked by confusion, memory loss and judgment problems. The second is marked by anxiety, insomnia and wandering. The third involves loss of appetite and speech, bladder and bowel control. Eventually, the disease leaves patients so debilitated that they become completely dependent on their caregivers.
Women Caregivers Face Stress, Burnout
The typical Alzheimer's caregiver is a 46-year-old married woman who works outside the home, reports the San Francisco-based Family Caregiver Alliance.
Social factors make women more likely to take on the caregiving role, says Niles. "Women are the health CEOs of their households," she explains. "We tend to put everyone else first even though it means putting our own needs second."
Emotional factors also play a part, says Negri. "Women have more of a sense of responsibility and a more natural urge to take care of others," she says. "We're more likely to offer backrubs when someone else is sore and more likely to make a meal when someone else is hungry."
When they look after Alzheimer's patients, female caregivers not only dress, bathe and feed them, but cope with violent outbursts and the possibility that their loved ones will wander out of the house whenever their backs are turned.
This workload--and the accompanying stress--can take their toll. Studies show that women who care for Alzheimer's patients are at increased risk for depression and anxiety and twice as likely as other women to develop cardiovascular disease.
While caring for her Alzheimer's-stricken mother, Mary Rolsch of Lakewood, Colo., often felt pushed beyond her limits. There was the pain of watching her mother put toilet paper in the refrigerator, mop the floor with wood stain and try to subsist on Milky Ways washed down with beer.
There was the strain of having to care for her as if she were a child. Then there were all the other stresses that Rolsch was juggling: shuttling her son and daughter to basketball practice, holding down a full-time job at a local bank and studying nights to become a certified financial planner.
"During those three difficult years, I lost my temper one too many times," says Rolsch, whose mother died of complications from Alzheimer's in 2002. "I felt like I was short-changing everybody: my husband, my kids, my boss, my mom and myself."
Whether they vent their frustrations to friends or join support groups sponsored by the Chicago-based Alzheimer's Association, many caregivers work to find ways to cope.
"I learned to limit my time with my mother--and take time for myself," says Negri. "I got together with friends. I got massages. I kept a journal. And some days, I sat down and cried."
Like most Alzheimer's caregivers, Rolsch and Negri were eventually forced to put their mothers in nursing homes for necessary round-the-clock help. Giving patients up to the care of others can be a wrenching choice--and an expensive one, with the average nursing home in the U.S. costing $42,000 per year.
Health Advocates Battle Alzheimer's Threat
The good news is that women can take steps to protect themselves from Alzheimer's. Studies show that getting regular exercise, eating lots of fruits, vegetables and fish, and keeping the mind active can help ward off the disease. So can taking a pass on hormone replacement therapy, which can double the risk of Alzheimer's.
If they start showing signs of confusion or memory loss, women can slow Alzheimer's progression by getting diagnosed and taking medication early.
Because baby boomers are aging and because the population of those over age 85 is reaching record levels in the U.S., the number of people with Alzheimer's is expected to more than triple by 2050.
To help meet the needs of the aging population, Congress has earmarked $700 million in federal funding for Alzheimer's research this year (a $20 million increase over funding for 2004). Scientists are developing new drugs in addition to the five that are already FDA-approved. They also hold out hope for a vaccine that could help male and female patients alike.
"Whether you are a caregiver or a patient, it's hard to be positive about Alzheimer's," says Niles. "But we hope that some day, we will figure out exactly what causes this disease and prevent it from ever happening to any woman ever again."

What They're Saying About ...
Patrick Wey, Washington's fourth choice (115th overall) in 2009 draft
Fourth Round, 115th overall – Patrick Wey, defense, Waterloo (USHL). Born March 21, 1991. 6-foot-3, 203 pounds, shoots right.
Washington chose big, right-handed shooting defenseman Patrick Wey from Waterloo of the USHL with its fourth choice (115th) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. The Caps tabbed a Swede, a Russian and a Canadian with their first three choices, and they've now picked an American in Wey.
A native of Pittsburgh, Wey was 166th in the CSB's midterm rankings but he climbed to 95th in the final rankings.
Red Line Report (ranked 223rd)
ISS (ranked 150th): Scouting Report: A good skater with good mobility, Wey is effective in jumping into the rush and creating the second wave of the offensive attack. Moves the puck up the ice quickly to open man and also makes good read on offensive blueline to keep puck in the zone. At times vs. the rush he gets a little wide thus giving up middle of the ice. Supports partner well during transition, making himself available as an outlet. Good size, needs strength. Improved play in defensive zone would make him a more complete player. Was Owen Sound's 13th rd. pick in 2007 OHL Draft. Has verbal commitment to Boston College for '09-10.

LOS GATOS -- In a perfect scenario, Bobby Hill would still be playing under the glow of Major League Baseball.
But injuries and age ended the former Leland High star's pursuit of returning to the big leagues and opened the door for his new occupation in the game: high school coach.
Hill, 35, is in his first season as the head coach at Los Gatos, teaching curious teenagers what he learned during a stellar career at the University of Miami and parts of four seasons in the majors with the Cubs and Pirates.
The Wildcats clearly are buying what the former infielder is selling. They beat Monta Vista on Tuesday to improve to 15-5 overall and 9-0 in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League's El Camino Division.
"People ask me, 'Why high school?' I say, 'Hey, man, if I can give back knowledge,' " Hill said. "It's just fun to be here. I'm forever going to have a locker room, I guess. It's in my blood."
Hill's career ended two years ago after a second season with the independent Chico Outlaws of the Golden Baseball League, a stop that came after he recovered from back surgery. Hill had hoped to get one more shot at the big leagues but was told he was too old.
With his playing days over, he became a full-time dad, taking "little Bobby" to preschool and spending time at home.
When a friend called last year to see if he had interest in coaching on the staff at Los Gatos, Hill mentioned it to his wife, Melissa, who told him, "You need to go!"
Hill spent last season as a hitting assistant and then applied when the head coaching job opened after the season.
"I told myself when I got done playing that I wanted to give back to my community, wanted to be able to reach out to kids, try to help them out college-wise, give them the knowledge of baseball," Hill said. "Even if they're not going to be professional baseball players, just give them something that they can enjoy high school with."
Los Gatos athletic director Shelby Edwards said she is thrilled to have Hill running the program.
"We are lucky to have him, and he is doing a great job," she said in an email.
Hill has brought intensity and patience to the job as the team aims to return to the SCVAL's top division next season. He also has brought a locker room full of stories to players who want to know what it was like to play on TV and in major league stadiums.
"It's been great," pitcher Zach Fox said. "Coming so recently off playing, he knows exactly what it's like. He has a lot to share. Today, we didn't have school, so we hung out for a long time, talked baseball."
One of Hill's favorite stories is when he made his big league debut while playing for the Cubs at Wrigley Field on May 10, 2002. When his Los Gatos players ask if he was nervous, Hill tells them that if tearing his batting glove and then ripping a shoelace while tying his shoe -- all before stepping in for his first at-bat -- qualifies as nervous, then, yes, he was nervous.
"I was so nervous," said Hill, a career .262 hitter.
Hill got to work briefly with his favorite Giant, Will Clark, who spent time as an instructor with the Cubs. He also met another of his favorite players, Ozzie Smith.
"It's those little things that I bring over to these guys," Hill said. "Sometimes, we'll sit here and we won't leave. Practice will be over, and we'll sit here talking shop for an hour, hour and half."
So far this season, Hill and his players are spinning quite a story themselves.

A really solid first week
01.09.2013 | Tennis, Starseite 1
Roger enjoyed a confident 6-3, 6-0, 6-2 win over Adrian Mannarino (ATP 63) in the third round to round off a great first week at the US Open.
Roger faced just a single break point in the entire match against the Frenchman and was obviously very pleased with his performance after 81 minutes of play. "There's always a lot of pressure coming out here on this court to perform, because you never know if you're going to play well. Tonight was one of those nights."
Roger will now play the round of the last sixteen against Tommy Robredo (ATP 22). Our champ leads the head-to-head 10-0 and could then be in for a quarter-final against Rafael Nadal in the quarter
Against Bennetau, right?
Against Bennetau, right?
robredo to serve for the match!!!!!
Oh my goodness so many unsupportive fed fans. Some of ought to ashamed of yourselves. This isnt the best play I have seen Roger but I will never write him off like some of u here. Those who are calling him to quit are no true fans of Roger. This year has been the worse year for Roger.. Nadal and the spainish are well.known to dope. Write Roger off at your own peril.
crowds are cheering for feds points like they are match points, god bless the fools
TR just a year younger than Roger...he is So quick in comparison
You're not gonna watch his match again? Good news for this site...
Something is going down. He is letting. Robredo win!
Maybe 2013 is Nadal year! I believe. Roger is already aiming his sites on 2014

Gainesville, FL (AP) - Florida receiver Chris Rainey,
dismissed from the team earlier this season, could be back on the
field next week against Georgia.
Coach Urban Meyer says Rainey is eligible to play, but adds that
the junior's status won't be determined until next week.
Meyer partially reinstated Rainey last week, a month after he
was arrested on an aggravated stalking charge. Rainey sent a
threatening text message to a former girlfriend. Meyer dismissed
him from the team the next day, saying Rainey violated the
program's core value regarding violence against women.
Rainey agreed to a plea deal three weeks ago on a misdemeanor
charge. If he stays out of trouble for six months, the charge will
be dismissed.

Re: Ponsetti Method for clubfoot
What proportion of patients need extensive surgery after failure of the Ponseti technique for clubfoot?
Willis RB, Al-Hunaishel M, Guerra L, Kontio K.
Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2009 May;467(5):1294-7.
In 1948, Professor Ignacio Ponseti began a nonoperative management form of treatment for severe talipes equinovarus. This method of manipulative treatment became attractive because long-term outcomes demonstrated the majority of feet were pain-free, plantigrade, and functioning at a high level of activity without evidence of degenerative arthrosis. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 51 children (31 boys and 20 girls; 72 feet) with idiopathic clubfeet deformity treated with the Ponseti method from January 5, 2002, to January 5, 2007. The median age at treatment was 2 weeks (95% confidence limit, 1-2 weeks); there was no difference in age at presentation between boys and girls. The minimum followup was 4 months (mean, 19.8 months; range, 4-48 months). A total of 288 casts were applied (mean, 5.5; standard deviation, 0.92). Successful treatment was defined as a plantigrade foot with a normal hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot on clinical examination. Correction was achieved and maintained in 90% (65 of 72) of the feet; 10% (seven of 72) of the treated feet did not improve and needed subsequent surgery. There was no difference in the proportion of children who had tenotomy or previous treatment among those who presented with residual deformity or recurrence or had surgery. However, patients who tolerated bracing had lower recurrence rates and underwent less surgery
Is it possible to treat recurrent clubfoot with the Ponseti technique after posteromedial release?: a preliminary study.
Nogueira MP, Ey Batlle AM, Alves CG.
Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2009 May;467(5):1298-305.
The Ponseti technique for treating clubfoot has been popularized for idiopathic clubfoot and more recently several syndromic causes of clubfoot. We asked whether it could be used to treat recurrent clubfoot following failed posteromedial release. We retrospectively reviewed 58 children (83 clubfeet) treated by the Ponseti technique for recurrent deformity after posteromedial release in three centers. The minimum followup was 24 months (average, 45 months; range, 24-80 months). We determined initial and final Pirani scores and range of motion of the ankle and subtalar joint. Plantigrade and fully corrected feet were obtained in 71 feet (86%); 11 feet obtained partial correction; one patient failed treatment and underwent another posteromedial release. Recurrences occurred in nine patients (12 feet or 14%). Initial Pirani scores improved in all but one patient; severity of deformity was also inferred by number of casts used for treatment. The age at treatment and numbers of casts did not influence the scores of Pirani et al. The scores were similar among the three orthopaedic surgeons
Correction of arthrogrypotic clubfoot with a modified Ponseti technique.

Surgical releases for arthrogrypotic clubfeet have high recurrence rates, require further surgery, and result in short, painful feet. We asked whether a modified Ponseti technique could achieve plantigrade, braceable feet. Ten patients (mean age, 16.2 months; range, 3-40 months), with 19 arthrogrypotic clubfeet, underwent an initial percutaneous Achilles tenotomy to unlock the calcaneus from the posterior tibia followed by weekly Ponseti-style casts. A second percutaneous Achilles tenotomy was performed in 53%. Mean number of casts was 7.7 (range, 4-12). From pretreatment to completion of initial series of casts, mean scores of Dimeglio et al. improved from 16 to 5 (ranges, 12-18 and 2-9, respectively), Catterall scores (as modified by Pirani and colleagues) from 4.8 to 0.9 (ranges, 1.5-6.0 and 0.0-2.0), and maximum passive dorsiflexion from -45 degrees (range, -75 degrees to -20 degrees ) to 10 degrees (range, 0 degrees to 40 degrees ). Ankle-foot orthoses maintained correction. At the minimum followup of 13 months (mean, 38.5 months; range, 13-70 months), the mean maximum dorsiflexion was 5 degrees (range, -20 degrees to 20 degrees ), two patients had posterior releases and no patient's ambulatory ability was compromised by foot shape. Arthrogrypotic clubfeet can be corrected without extensive surgery during infancy or early childhood. Limited surgery may be required as the children age.
Ponseti method: does age at the beginning of treatment make a difference?

The Ponseti method is reportedly effective for treating clubfoot in children up to 9 years of age. However, whether age at the beginning of treatment influences the rate of successful correction and the rate of relapse is unknown. We therefore retrospectively reviewed 68 consecutive children with 102 idiopathic clubfeet treated by the Ponseti technique in four Portuguese hospitals. We followed patients a minimum of 30 months (mean, 41.4 months; range, 30-61 months). The patients were divided into two groups according to their age at the beginning of treatment; Group I was younger than 6 months and Group II was older than 6 months. All feet (100%) were initially corrected and no feet required extensive surgery regardless of age at the beginning of treatment. There were no differences between Groups I and II in the number of casts, tenotomies, success in terms of rate of initial correction, rate of recurrence, and rate of tibialis anterior transference. The rate of the Ponseti method in avoiding extensive surgery was 100% in Groups I and II; relapses occurred in 8% of the feet in younger and older children
Ponseti treatment for idiopathic clubfoot: minimum 5-year followup.
Bor N, Coplan JA, Herzenberg JE.
Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2009 May;467(5):1263-70.
Ponseti clubfoot treatment has become more popular during the last decade. We reviewed the medical records of 74 consecutive infants (117 club feet) who underwent Ponseti treatment. Minimum followup was 5 years (mean, 6.3 years; range, 5-9 years). We studied age at presentation, previous treatment, the initial severity score of the Pirani scoring system, number of casts, need for Achilles tenotomy or other surgical procedures, and brace use. We measured final ankle motion and parents' perception of outcome. Late presentation and previous non-Ponseti treatment were associated with lower initial severity score, fewer casts, and less need for tenotomy. Forty-four percent of patients had poor brace use. We observed better brace use (75%) in babies who presented late for treatment. Good brace use predicted less need for extensive surgical procedures. Twenty-four (32%) babies underwent additional surgical procedures other than tenotomy, including 21% who underwent tibialis anterior tendon transfer. At followup, 89% of feet had adequate dorsiflexion (5 degrees or greater). Parents indicated high satisfaction with the treatment results. Ankle motion was not associated with parents' satisfaction. The Ponseti method is effective, even if treatment starts late or begins after failure at other centers. Brace use influenced the success of treatment.

text: This is my response to all the letter writing going on praising Sen. Portman for his sudden approval of homosexual marriage. I refuse to call it gay marriage, because the word gay once meant something nice. So the devil had some of his evil doers hijack the word to make something disgusting and abhorrent to God, sound pretty. Remember the devil is a" liar and the father of it". (John 8:44) Homosexuality is a sin and always will be a sin. You can check it out for yourselves. Pick up the Bible and read the words of God. If anyone believes homosexuality is OK and the same for homosexual marriage, they are not Christians. They are followers of Satan. John 8;42-44, says one is either of God or of Satan. There is no middle ground.

Yogish taking a break to tone his body
Despite working hard and putting in lot of effort, his four movies, except Ambari, failed to impress the audience in 2009. He says, "I expected at least two of my last four films to hit the bar of success, but it did not happen." Now, he feels that audience wants to see him in variety of roles. So he has decided to prepare for the same.
Yogish, who came to lime light after he played Loose Mada in Duniya, is presently busy with the movies like Yaksha, Dhool and Punda. After completing these films, he has planned to take rest for five months. He says, "I am taking a break of four to five months after completing the shooting of Yaksha."
However, the Kannada actor has got another project, which is helmed by a young director. He has already briefed him the story of the movie. He has even suggested him to tone up his body for the role. So Yogi is planning to hire a trainer to get the required physique. He says, "I will have a long period of workouts to tone up my body."
