The success of the Scion Racing program has always come as a direct result of what our teams have been able to accomplish on the track. In 2012, we were fortunate enough to be able to work with an unparalleled group of professionals that helped make this year one of our absolute best to date. From drift and time attack to drag racing and rally, every one of the drivers carrying the banner for our program achieved far more than what we could've asked of them, giving us much reason to look forward to what's in store for 2013. As the current year winds its way to a close, however, we'd like to take a minute to look back on each team's performance during the 2012 season.
Formula Drift
Joining the team after a 3 year hiatus from driving, Tony Angelo stepped out of the judge's booth and into Ken Gushi's former Scion tC for his return to the track. Tony quickly proved that rust from his time away wouldn't be an issue as he managed to qualify for the Top 32 at every event, moving to the Top 16 at two of them. Although mechanical issues with his car threatened to derail his season, the TAngelo Racing team persevered through them and made it out to the final event at Irwindale Speedway. Their performance there was good enough to earn them 23rd in the standings – better than over half the field in only his first year back with a new car.
Fan favorite driver Ken Gushi was back with Scion Racing for the 5th year, this time with a few new faces in tow. Now backed by the GReddy Racing team, Ken was tasked with piloting the Scion FR-S for its competitive debut. GReddy's work building the car during the offseason helped get the FR-S off to a running start, and gave them the early momentum they needed to establish a foothold among the top of the standings. Their work eventually led to a big payoff, as Ken managed to finish the season in 8th place – a 6 spot jump from the previous season. A full year or data under their belts and more time to jell as a team have their prospects for 2013 looking brighter than ever.
Fredric Aasbo returned to competition in the Need for Speed Scion tC, and spent the season living up to his "champ killer" nickname, driving his way to podium finishes at both Round 2 in Atlanta, and Round 6 in Las Vegas. His performance in Las Vegas was particularly impressive, as he both took on and took down a number of former Formula Drift champions, including Chris Forsberg, Dai Yoshihara, and Vaughn Gittin Jr. Stephan Papadakis and the Papadakis Racing team kept the tC running flawlessly through each event, and had it pushing out an impressive 720 horsepower to the wheels by the final round. Appropriately, Stephan was honored with the Team Manager of the Year award, while Fredric's "hold stumt" approach to the track earned him awards for Best Driving Style and Fan Favorite Driver. Their combined teamwork led them to a 6th Place finish for the season, and kept them in the championship hunt until the very end.
Time Attack
Back for another year in the Global Time Attack series was Chris Rado and the WORLD Racing team in the Need for Speed Scion tC. Chris and the GTA series shared the spotlight with Formula Drift for 2 of the season's first 3 events, but he still managed to make them both all his own with 1st place finishes in the Unlimited FWD class at both. Combined with his other podium topping performances at Buttonwillow Raceway Park and New Jersey Motorsports Park, Chris once again showed why WORLD Racing is one of the premier names in the time attack field.
Michele Abbate, now with the Dynamic Autosports team, proved she wasn't just a competitor on the track, but a champion as well. Her rookie year in the MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championships saw her powering the Gruppe-S Scion tC to one strong finish after another, eventually earning her the MPTCC crown by season's end. All throughout, the Dynamic Autosports team was able to keep the car running strong, doing everything they could to keep Michele in front of the field. Although Michele hasn't been on the circuit for long, she's managed to quickly establish herself as one of the premier road racing drivers, and a valuable member of the Scion Racing roster.
The Sparco Rally xD welcomed back Andrew Comrie-Picard for his first full season piloting the car. ACP and the Rally xD team raced out to the top of the standings immediately, holding on to the spot for the majority of the season. A catastrophic rear suspension failure at the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally forced the team to relinquish their grasp on the position by way of a DNF, but the team quickly bounced back and finished the year 2nd in the FWD standings. The success of the team during their first full Rally America season not only established the Rally xD as a force in the discipline, but also served as an indicator of what's still to come for the crew. With an entirely new build under way, the Rally xD team will be back even stronger in 2013.
For the 2012 edition of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, ACP and the Sparco Rally xD team were joined by Takeshi Aizawa and the GReddy Racing Scion tC. Ken Gushi also made the trip out to Colorado to participate in the race, taking the wheel of the Lexus IS F CCS-R. Although PPIHC is one of the most demanding races in the world, with 155 corners and 4,720 feet worth of elevation along the course, each of the teams and drivers successfully made the trek to the summit. Pikes Peak offered the three groups a rare opportunity to combine their efforts and work closely with one another, which contributed to the quick times they each submitted. With 2012 in the books, the teams are looking forward to making the trip back to the mountain next year.
Scott Kelley and the Kelley Racing team were back in 2012 for a third straight run in the NHRA Super Stock division. Although appearances would suggest that the Scion Bullet xB makes for an unlikely drag car, the competition has seen his taillights enough times to know that it's what's under the hood that truly matters. Accordingly, Scott and the team took home a number of wins this season, including a Summit Series victory at Irwindale Speedway, and an NHRA Sport Nationals trophy at Las Vegas. Although none of his achievements have come easily, Scott and the Kelley Racing team have been able to find their way to the top time and time again through sheer hard work in the garage and unparalleled dedication to the sport.
2013 and the Road Ahead
The 2012 season was one of the most successful yet for the Scion Racing program, but there's still a lot of work to be done for the upcoming year. We'll be welcoming Robert Stout into the fold, as he takes the reigns of the Ken Stout Racing Scion FR-S for our inaugural season in the Pirelli World Challenge Championships. Meanwhile, the rally, drift, time attack, and drag teams are all in the garage, preparing their cars for runs in 2013. There's a lot of great racing in store, and we can't wait to see it all unfold. Join us in Atlanta, Michigan on January 25th, as ACP and the Sparco Rally xD team kicks things off at the Sno*Drift Rally!

ELLENBORO, W.Va. - No. 5 Parkersburg Catholic held Gilmer County to its lowest point total of the season here Saturday night at Ritchie County High School as the Crusaders cruised past the Titans, 54-31, to capture the Class A, Region IV, Section 1 championship game.
Jake Boice came off the bench and finished with 10 points, including a trio of key first-half 3s, while Crusader teammate Jake Ullman bucketed a game-high 18 points and PCHS point guard Payton Sturm handed out an evening-best eight assists.
While both teams struggled early to get things going offensively, the Crusader defense ended up being the story of the night. Gilmer County, which lost 62-48 on Jan. 2 at Parkersburg Catholic, never got into any sort of offensive flow and finished the contest shooting less than 30 percent (11 of 37) from the floor. The Crusaders also registered a dozen steals as part of the now 13-10 Titans' 25 turnovers.
Gilmer County, which plays in a regional contest on Thursday at Charleston Catholic, only had one lead and that was at 2-0 when Anthony Aviles tallied two of his eight markers on a pair of charity-stripe tosses 3:01 into the game.
The two Little Kanawha Conference members combined to miss 12 of 13 field-goal attempts to start the game and had nine turnovers, six by the Titans, in the first six minutes.
A foul shot by Brady Kurucz, who tallied nine points, actually gave the Crusaders the lead for good at 3-2 with 1:43 left in the first quarter. Boice connected from downtown for the first time at the 1:25 mark for a 6-2 edge and the Titans, who had eight turnovers in the period, made their only deuce of the quarter when Nathan Allison (seven points) swished in a 16-footer at the buzzer.

Next games: Gilmer County at Charleston Catholic 7 p.m. Thursday; Buffalo at Parkersburg Catholic 7 p.m. Thursday.
After an Allison lay-in via an Austin Cunningham dish made it 12-9 with 5:07 left in the first half, the Titans appeared to have momentum going their way when Mitchell Hickman stuffed an Ullman lay-in after Ullman had stepped in front of an errant pass by Aviles. However, the opposite turned out to be true as PCHS (21-3) proceeded to score 10 unanswered points and take control of the game.
Kurucz got the run started when he scored in the paint on an inbounds play. Boice followed with a trey and after Kurucz had a blocked shot at the other end, he was rewarded for his hustle by scoring inside on a feed from Boice. Ullman, who dribbled the length of the baseline and then decided to shoot from the corner when his Titan defender left him, capped the spurt with a 3-point swish and gave the Crusaders a 13-point cushion with 72 seconds left in the half. Boice's final trifecta with 38 ticks left before intermission put the Titans in a 25-11 halftime hole they never recovered from.
The Crusaders, who got five points apiece from Joe Padden and Austin Luther, will play host to Buffalo at 7 p.m. Thursday in a regional affair with a state tournament berth on the line.Cunningham paced the Titans with a team-high 11 points and added six boards and two assists.

SIKESTON - Over the past five years, 60 individuals were recognized for their dedication to Sikeston Public Schools and for making a difference in the R-6 District.
Some of those who've gone above and beyond were named to the local Honors Wall, the rest to the Hall of Fame. In either case, the award not only says a great deal about the recipients, but their strong belief in the school district as well.
Steering committee members are anxious to add more names to the plaques displayed in the Field House."It's a wonderful way to honor people who have meant so much to our school district, whether they've given their time or shown their support by serving on a committee, the teaching staff or administrative staff," remarked Sally Lape, committee member.
"They've given their time and helped make our district what it is."Nominees currently being accepted for the Hall of Fame are the names of individuals who've received All-State and/or All-American honors for their athletic ability. Through their participation in high school sports, they brought recognition to their school and community.
"Our community is a spirited community and that spirit is shown in our athletic department," noted Lape. "We are very proud of them and their service to the community. When Sikeston travels to other communities I think people are amazed at the amount of support our community gives our athletes."
A 2001 Hall of Fame inductee, Buddy Spears was applauded for making the district its best through his efforts as a former basketball coach, tennis coach, attendance officer and transportation director.
"It was quite an honor and a shock," Spears said about finding out he was to be inducted last year. "It was a very special honor, I didn't feel like I deserved it because I just had some wonderful kids. It makes me feel very humbled."
"I think our athletes feel a bond to the Bulldog spirit and like to come back, you can see it in their faces," added Lape. "It's a very moving part of the ceremony to see these individuals come back. It's a very humbling experience for them and a very moving experience for them and their families to reconnect with Sikeston High School."
The Honor Wall recognizes another special group, those who've displayed outstanding achievements and meritorious service to Sikeston Public Schools.
"These individuals have the best interest of our children in mind which is so important to recognize, especially when public education is getting so much bad publicity," Lape said.
"It's nice to hear about people who are dedicated to supporting the school district any way they can and to be part of making our school system a challenging one, one that's looked upon by the rest of the state as a strong system."
One of those individuals deemed as worthy of Honor Wall status is Jeannie Williams. A writer, educator and motivational speaker, Williams' ability to motivate children to learn has earned her many awards.
One of the most memorable honors, she said, was becoming an inductee last year.
"It was a great joy and I deeply and sincerely appreciated the consideration," Williams said. "When I think back on that moment of honor I am reminded of the many happy and rewarding hours I spent as a school board member. I cherish the opportunity to serve our community and I am grateful for the high measure of understanding and support which is always given to me. Touch a child's heart and you will be remembered. Touch a child's mind and the magic will never end."
The deadline to receive nominations is Aug. 2. The induction ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 4 during the Sikeston/Farmington football game. A tail gate party for honorees as well as past honorees and their families will begin at 6 p.m.
Nomination applications are available at the Board of Education office, 1002 Virginia St., and one will run in Wednesday's edition of the newspaper. Only those individuals nominated through the applications will be considered.
For more information contact the Board of Education office at 472-2581.

The subject of this woodcut a group of sensuous nude female dancers on stage, one in ecstatic frenzy exemplifies the Brücke artists' bold rejection of bourgeois norms and academic conventions. The stark contrast between black accentuating lines and white areas removed with a gouge adds a rhythmic quality to the scene, while the looming black hat creates a jarring sense of spatial ambiguity by effectively merging foreground and background. This approach to form shows the influence of Matisse's Fauvism, which Kirchner saw in an exhibition at the Paul Cassirer Gallery, Berlin, at the beginning of the year. This woodcut is part of a large number of nudes and dance scenes that Kirchner concentrated on during his mid-Brücke phase from 1909 to 1911.
It was within the artists' group Brücke (Bridge), founded in 1905, that Ernst Ludwig Kirchner formulated his views on art and established a visual language. Together with other core members—Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Max Pechstein, and, briefly, Emil Nolde—Kirchner sought a new spirit of freedom and authenticity that rejected both the stultifying traditions of the academy and the restrictive conventions of bourgeois society. Brücke artists felt that art could respond to essential life forces with spontaneity and immediacy through such subjects as the nude in nature or figures dancing with frenzy and abandon. Sharing studios and models, teaching each other techniques, and even vacationing together, they evolved a common style that first embraced the fluidity of Fauvism and then turned to the energy and angularity of tribal art for inspiration.
Printmaking was fundamental to Brücke activities, and annual portfolios of prints were published to help the artists gain recognition and produce income. For the most part, however, members' prints were experimental in nature and made with only a few proof impressions. Kirchner continued this unstructured approach to printmaking even after the dissolution of Brücke in 1913, eventually creating some two thousand works, primarily in his own studio.
During World War I, after briefly training in the mounted artillery, Kirchner suffered a mental collapse. His depiction as an isolated figure is seen in Evening Patrol of 1915. His series of prints of this period, entitled Schlemihl Meets His Shadow, is also considered the embodiment of his anxiety and paranoia, conditions that would continue to plague him, along with ill health, for the remainder of his life. In 1938, after being ostracized from German art circles by the Nazis, and having hundreds of his paintings removed from museums and declared "degenerate," Kirchner ended his own life.

After Maehara, Future PM Shortlist Shorter
Seiji Maehara didn't just step down from his post as foreign minister on Sunday night over illegal political donations. His sudden resignation also effectively ejected the ambitious lawmaker from the very short list of possible successors to replace increasingly beleaguered Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
But with Mr. Maehara, considered a strong favorite this time last week, out of the picture, who will replace Mr. Kan if he does become the next in a lengthening line of short-service PMs?
The ruling Democratic Party of Japan's secretary-general Katsuya Okada has been mentioned in dispatches as a possible prime minister for some time. The 57-year-old earned respect within the DPJ when the party did well in upper house elections in 2004, but was pushed out the following year when the party struggled through the lower house elections.
Still, he gained some international status during his turn as foreign minister prior to Mr. Maehara's spell. But his current role as number two in the DPJ might effectively keep him from the premiership. Having been charged with handling the never-ending dramatics surrounding veteran party kingpin Ichiro Ozawa, Mr. Okada may struggle to gain backing among Ozawa followers in the party, and for the public at large his brushes with the Ozawa scandal may make it difficult to present himself convincingly as a fresh start.
Japan's Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda is another that could take up the leadership reins. Mr. Noda led the finance ministry's first foray into currency markets in six-and-a-half years in September to slow the yen's stubborn rise. But the fiscally conservative Mr. Noda has not stepped far from the realms of the finance ministry, remaining largely silent on other political issues. It's reflective of his quiet rise through the DPJ's ranks, which culminated in succeeding Mr. Kan as finance minister last June. Still, his name might climb that short list of successors as someone familiar with the intricacies of curbing public debt – a major concern for whoever becomes the next prime minister in Japan.
Then there is always the spunky Renho, the mono-monickered female lawmaker who took the upper house election in Tokyo by storm last summer. The minister of government reform's meteoric rise, to say the least a rarity in the male-dominated world of Japanese politics, within the DPJ could bring the ruling party the fresh start it needs. But it remains to be seen whether Japan's establishment is ready for the country's first female prime minister. And she's made the odd faux pas along the way: Vogue Nippon photo shoot, anyone?
Of course, there's a dark horse in every race. In this case, perhaps Shinji Tarutoko, the unknown DPJ lawmaker who threw his hat into the party's leadership race last June, is ready for another go. Despite an overwhelming party consensus that Mr. Kan would become the next prime minister, Mr. Tarutoko blazed forward last summer anyway. He lost, heavily, but if Mr. Kan should resign, expect Mr. Tarutoko to think hard about another crack of the whip.

|Check-in before
L'appartamento è come si vede nell'annuncio, dotato di tutto quello che serve in un appartamento. Posizione centrale.
Unico appunto i cuscini sono troppo molli e le federe e le lenzuola sapevano di polvere, abbiamo dovuto lavarle.
The apartment is like you see on the advertising, fully furnished, all facilities needed in the apt are included. Centrally located.
Only one remark, the cushions are too soft and pillowcases and sheet smells like powder so we washed them.
Blev modtaget af Steve, der havde meget travlt og derfor ikke gennemgik tingene med os. Fjernsynet virkede ikke hele ugen og safety - boxen var låst.
Lejligheden var rigtig dejlig og veludstyret,
Das Appartement hat eine super Lage.(zentral,Bus etc gut zu erreichen, Minimarket direkt an der Ecke). Übergabe und Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter klappte reibungslos. Leider gab es ein paar Mängel: Müll im Hauseingang, die Einrichtung war eher spartanisch, besonders bei Küche und Geschirr (keine Schüssel, nicht funktionierender Dosenöffner, keine Kaffeemaschine, keine Haken etc.). Die Gasflasche zum Grillen war leer, Safe war nicht zu benutzen und versprochene Batterien wurden nicht erneuert, Toilettenbürsten waren abgebrochen. Bei diesen Mängeln war der Preis überhöht, und daher nur DREI Sterne

New build system for Mozilla environment
Although current mozilla build system uses Cygwin and many tools, Mozilla team seems to replace it with MSYS base system.
As long as I install it, in other word,
Old Mozilla Build System = Cygwin + NSIS + 7ZIP + UPX
New Mozilla Build System = MSYS + NSIS + 7ZIP + UPX + Python
Cygwin replaces with MSYS and add Python script. So I must port NSIS and SCON that is needed to build NSIS.

Bridget is a beautiful little girl who came into our lives on November 11, 2004. She had so much spirit from the earliest moments as she arrived 3 weeks early winning the affection of all, including her big brother Harrison. From the time she could walk, she's loved to run, climb and go fast especially to music or the sound of the TV. She had spunk and sass and kept us on our toes. Bridget has been a love bug from the beginning, often known as the "Mad Hugger" for her tight squeezes.
For the first 3 years Bridget developed normally, reaching each milestone on schedule, with exception of her speech. We provided her with lots of attention and assistance in this area with the Early Intervention program and practice at home. She made slow, but steady progress and we celebrated each success. However, Bridget developed seizures in February, 2008 and we had to focus all our attention on keeping her seizures at bay. From that moment on, it has been a very windy road of doctors, tests and uncertainty. And now, we are faced with her diagnosis of Late Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (LINCL) often referred to as Batten's Disease. The prognosis is grim, but we pray everyday that modern medicine can find Bridget and other children like her a cure. We will always have hope for a cure and always have hope for Bridget.

OP/ED: Is This Where SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN Is REALLY Going?
That's really not been the case for some time, however; Spider-Man has been a member of the New Avengers for almost eight years now, and in that time has worked with the team to save the world countless times. He's also served as part of the Future Foundation during that time, and thanks to Slott's own solo run on Amazing Spider-Man starting with "Big Time," he's gotten more and more respect from the world at large and his peers in particular over the last few years. And that just seems… weird. Whatever happened to the hard-luck hero? Everything just kept going right for this Spider-Man!
…Which, I suspect, is when the Peter Parker we know and love will return. We all know that he'll be back at some point, despite the protestations of Slott and editor Steve Wacker that this is the status quo from now on - Remember when we were similarly promised that Bucky was definitely dead during Fear Itself? - and this would be the perfect time to bring him back: With his reputation in tatters, the world against him and his friends unsure whether or not they can believe anything that he says. In other words, the classic Spider-Man set-up that Slott described above.

Lowell-Adams Volunteer Fire Chief Josh Harris already knows how the department will be using a $174,075 grant recently awarded the department by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"We have to buy all new turnout gear-30 sets, from head to toe, and that's about $2,000 apiece," he said. "We'll also purchase 15 new air packs at about $5,000 each. The new ones will be a lot lighter with 30-minute air tanks."
In addition the department needs a new Jaws of Life hydraulic rescue tool. Harris said the old tool cannot cut through some of the new metals being used to build late model vehicles.
"We go by NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards, so the Jaws of Life will likely cost around $25,000," he said. "It's sad that the fire equipment departments need has to be so expensive, but we're fortunate to have been awarded this grant."
Harris said some of the equipment being replaced is still serviceable and will be passed on to other local VFDs that may need it.
L-A Fire Board member Bob Kubota noted although NFPA recommends replacement of the turnout gear and air packs every few years to meet its national standards, some of the turnout and air pack equipment being replaced by the department is still in good shape and can be used by other fire companies.
Fact Box
About the grant
- The Lowell-Adams Volunteer Fire Department has been awarded $174,075 through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Assistance to Firefighters Grant program.
- The grant requires a 5 percent, or $8,704 match by the fire department, which will be covered by money raised through community fundraisers.
- The grant funding will be used to purchase turnout gear, air packs and new Jaws of Life equipment.
Source: L-A VFD and FEMA.
"For example, NFPA says turnout gear is only good for 10 years and should be replaced, but in the state of Ohio that's not a requirement," he said. "And some of our air packs will go to other local fire departments, too. Air pack equipment can still provide good service for several years."
Kubota said the FEMA grant is the largest the department has ever received.
"You never know if you're going to get a grant or not, and it was several months before we received word that we were being awarded this grant," he said. "It was also the first time we've ever applied for this type of grant."
Harris said although the total grant is for $174,075, the department has to provide a 5 percent match of $8,704 and FEMA covers the remaining $165,371. He said the department's contribution will be paid out of money raised through local community fundraisers.
He said the L-A VFD currently has 34 members and averages 160 squad runs and at least 50 fire runs every year, covering the Lowell and Adams Township areas.
"The grant money is a big boost for the department, but the biggest thing is that we want to be sure our guys are safe and return home after a run," Harris said.

Former Dallas Cowboys WR Terry Glenn claims store kept $100,000 worth of his jewelry
Updated with comments from both attorneys.
When football players and jewelers clash around here, it's usually the athlete being sued. Just check with DeMarcus Ware or Dez Bryant.
Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn has reversed that storyline.
"Too often, we hear these stories about athletes and the jewelry disputes," said his attorney Daryl Washington. "But we just also want people to know that athletes are taken advantage of all the time…It's not always the athletes who are the bad people."
The retired player claims in a lawsuit that Marc Samuels Jewelers took more than $100,000 worth of jewelry he left for repairs and melted it for scrap. The lawsuit, filed Monday in Dallas County, is seeking between $200,000 and $1 million from the store.
Marcel Weiner, an attorney for Marc Samuels Jewelers, denies the claims and refuted many of the specific accusations in the lawsuit. He also said the jewelry wasn't worth what Glenn claimed.
The two sides disagree on most of the details of the dispute, even when the jewelry was dropped off at the Grapevine store.
This started sometime in 2012 when Glenn took a diamond bracelet, diamond cross, three Jacob & Co. watches and one Don & Co. watch to Marc Samuels Jewelers for repairs only, according to the lawsuit.
Weiner insists that Glenn brought the jewelry to the store Oct. 1, 2011 looking to sell, repair or trade the pieces.
The filing said Glenn was trying to get the work done before going to a reunion in Ohio, where he played college football. Since the work couldn't be completed in time, Glenn left the jewelry with the store and accepted the loaner jewelry the staff offered.
The lawsuit said Glenn – who lives in the Dallas area – did not hear from a store representative for months. Then he was unable to stop by because of his travel schedule, according to court documents.
Weiner said there were many more communications — often by text message — that weren't mentioned in the lawsuit. Washington said there were many text messages and phone calls from Glenn trying to find out when his jewelry would be ready.
Eventually, the watches were picked up, and Glenn paid the $1,500 repair bill for those items, according to the lawsuit. That's one of the few elements both sides agree about.
But Weiner said the diamond bracelet was broken in several pieces and that Glenn used that as a trade in on new jewelry. That left the damaged cross, which had missing diamonds, as the last of Glenn's pieces left there, Weiner said.
That cross was used as collateral for use of the loaner jewelry, Weiner said.
"To this day, that jewelry has not been returned to us," he said. "That was the agreement he had with our client. If he did not return the diamond cross earrings and the gold chain in four weeks, then our client was to retain the cross."
Washington said there was never an agreement of that sort. He said the loaner jewelry was worth a fraction of the value of Glenn's bracelet and cross.
"It's like you giving me a Hyundai until my Bentley is repaired," Washington said.
He also said Glenn never asked to trade the bracelet. He said all the jewelry was brought in only to be repaired.
Glenn claims in the lawsuit that he told the store in December he needed the rest of the jewelry returned as part of the asset division in his divorce. Afterward, the "Sales Rep began to ignore Glenn's calls which made Glenn extremely suspicious," according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims that Glenn's assistant was notified March 20, 2013 that the "diamond bracelet and cross had been melted for scrap value without Glenn's permission or authorization."
Weiner said the diamond cross was melted for scrap but only after his clients attempted to get Glenn to return the other jewelry for about a year and a half. The two parties attended mediation, Weiner said, but he was not allowed provide details.
Washington said Glenn still has the loaner jewelry and will return when he is reimbursed or his jewelry is returned. He said his client hasn't been provided with any paperwork proving the items were melted.
"As far as we know, that jewelry could still be in existence," Washington said.

'Pyramid schemes': Illegitimate businesses that enrich themselves not from product sales but off of their own salesmen/women. They attract people with promises of easy money and keep them through cult-like tactics.
What are cult-like tactics?
- Increase separation of target with family through constant meetings until a wedge is formed between family and cult ("trust us -- they don't understand you like we do")
- Total obedience and trust in hierarchical structure -- emotions based conditioning ("this is the BEST way, it is the ONLY way... Listen to what this guy has to say, he is the leader, he is a success, and he KNOWS what he's talking about. Everyone that listens to him and does exactly what he says will succeed").
- Condition followers to express hostility toward ANY criticism
- Greater monetary demands over time (fees, donations)
- Constant, repetitive slogans invoked every single meeting ("We cannot be without you and me").
- Constant calls for recruitment ("the most important thing you can do is recruit your friends, bring your family! Absolute strangers aren't as good -- why not make it easy and bring someone you know!")
Lasrever: I know people that are still stuck in cults like Amway/Quickstar. There are even friends in my life still brainwashed by Quickstar who spend enormous amounts of time/money on this scam.
If someone you care about is involved please teach them about 'pyramid schemes': "The essential idea behind each scam is that the individual makes only one payment, but is promised to somehow receive exponential benefits from other people as a reward. A common example might be an offer that, for a fee, allows the victim to sell the same offer to other people, or receive bonuses through other people they refer. Each sale includes a fee to the original seller.
Clearly, the flaw is that there is no end benefit; the money simply travels up the chain, and only the originator (or at best a very few) wins in swindling his followers. Of course, the people in the worst situation are the ones at the bottom of the pyramid: those who subscribed to the plan, but were not able to recruit any followers themselves. To embellish the act, most such scams will have fake referrals, testimonials, and information."
This is not something to be taken lightly if someone you care about is involved. If you know someone that is already involved read the list on what cults do to brainwash people and see if there's a corroboration.

Here we are at Week 6 of the live shows and it will be the end of the first pairings on "So You Think You Can Dance." After two more dancers are eliminated, we will have the Top 10 and will welcome back All-Stars, some of the SYTYCD dancers from previous seasons, to pair up with the remaining hopefuls.
The opening number was a rousing Bollywood routine that showed off the moves of all the dancers. Choreographer Kenny Ortega filled the chair as guest judge, adding a knowledgeable voice to those of head judge Nigel Lythgoe and judge Mary Murphy. But I was really expecting more from Ortega other than "I've loved you guys" and "You're amazing." Oh well.
Before we learned who was in the bottom six, host Cat Deeley announced what has become the weekly injury report. This week, it's Tucker who cannot dance the pair routine because of a knee infection. To keep up the bad news, the bottom three guys were Alan, Nico and Tucker -- geez, this is not Tucker's night -- and the bottom three girls were Jenna, Malece (what?!) and Amy (double what?!), with the rest of the dancers heading for the Top 10.
Nigel announced that the judges and choreographers have decided to save Jenna and Nico, sending them to the Top 10 with the others, and the remaining four must dance solos to persuade the judges to let them stay in the competition. For the first time, all of the solos were enthusiastic and terrific -- the dancers at this point in the competition are all so good, I think the elimination will come down to picky little points, like who didn't smile or didn't point their toes. And even Tucker, who can't dance his routine, manages to do an awesome solo with his bum knee.
It's time for the pair routines, and each dancer talks about what they've learned about their partner. My favorite: Fik-Shun describing how Amy hums with each bite as she eats, and Amy responded that Fik-Shun falls asleep anywhere possible. And then it was time for the routines, plus two "mini-group" dances, one with all guys and the other with all girls.
Hayley and Nico -- Broadway
In a number filled with flips and lifts, both dancers were terrific and the judges rewarded them with a standing ovation at the end. After saluting choreographer Sean Cheeseman for the routine, Nigel said that Hayley displayed incredible control and that next week, when there will only be a bottom two, she won't be in it. He added that Nico got top marks, while Mary said that the routine was "outrageous" and a breakthrough for both dancers. Kenny congratulated both dancers for handling the intricate moves.
Malece and Alan -- jazz
I don't know what was wrong, maybe it was that both found themselves in the bottom with the voters, but the chemistry just wasn't there and their moves were not clicking. No one believed that their characters were in love with each other. And when Alan said he didn't know who Gene Kelly was, I was dumbfounded -- to his credit, he looked up a video of Kelly on YouTube. Sigh. Kenny said he wished he'd seen a melding point, some chemistry, but he didn't. Nigel added that it was a bit uncomfortable to watch because the "style was not there, the chemistry was not there." Mary said it was fun and entertaining but with some parts uncomfortable and some good, she was on the fence about it. This doesn't look good for the pair.
Jenna and Alex Wong subbing for Tucker -- paso doble
The routine was a "pirate paso" and while I didn't care for it, the judges loved it. Jenna really brought up her level of dancing with Alex partnering her. Mary loved it and said Jenna had passion and precision, while Kenny told Jenna that she was "at the top" for him. After Nigel told a pirate joke, he said Jenna was saved because they hoped she would produce something tremendous and she did.
Makenzie and Paul -- contemporary
It was another standing ovation from the judges, choreographers and audience. These two really enjoy working together and all of the judges remarked on it. Nigel said it was beautiful, complimented Makenzie on her breathing, and said Paul goes from strength to strength. Mary called it an amazing routine, that Makenzie was just a diamond and that Paul is growing every week. Kenny added that Makenzie "so deserves to be here" and that Paul has a "fire burning in his soul."
Amy and Fik-Shun -- Viennese waltz
Anyone who reads my recaps knows that Fik-Shun is one of my favorites, and he didn't disappoint this week. Turning a hip-hop street artist into a graceful ballroom dancer takes a lot of determination on the parts of both dancer and choreographer, and Kenny noted how much Jean-Marc Genereux had taught Fik-Shun and how the dancer acknowledged it. Amy and Fik-Shun are really connected and pulled out all the grace and technique needed to do a great job. Mary said that Amy was exquisite and that Fik-Shun gets better and better each week. Nigel almost told Amy that she would not be sent home, but stopped himself just in time.
Jasmine and Aaron -- hip-hop
This NappyTabs routine had so much movement -- 48 moves in seven seconds -- that both dancers could barely get their breath at the finish, but they did a resounding job. Aaron puts on a few too many expressions but he does a great job with footwork, even though the dance style was new to both of them. Kenny said they were "smokin'" and Nigel added that Jasmine "nailed it." Mary said that they "dug out the best routine I've ever seen."
There were two mini-group dances tonight -- one with the five guys (minus Tucker) and one with the six girls. The guys did an outstanding job with a NappyTabs routine that used a rope for a prop, which is difficult in any routine. Mary thought they all looked strong and Kenny said there was some real male bonding. The girls portrayed starlets at the Fountain of Youth in a contemporary routine by Stacey Tookey and it was very beautiful. Mary remarked that the group was "the best six girls we have had in 10 seasons with not a weak link among you." Wow! Kenny thought they were all "divas in the making" and Nigel said they were absolutely wonderful, looking "like professional contemporary dancers."
Then it was the time of reckoning and as the four in jeopardy stood nervously in line, Nigel explained that he will strongly recommend that the two eliminated should be added to the "Top 10 Tour" as alternates or swing dancers because they were so good. He also congratulated all four on great solos, but two dancers had to go. And just like that, Malece and Alan were out, and Amy and Tucker were the last dancers in the Top 10. I think Malece's poor showing last week might have been her undoing, but I'm still sad that she was cut.
Do you agree with who were sent home? If not, who should it have been? Next week, the 10 will be dancing with All-Stars, which Nigel said should raise their level of dancing. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top. See you next week -- keep dancing!

PROVIDENCE, R. I. -- The Rhode Island affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union will hold a news conference Wednesday at 10 a.m. to announce a lawsuit involving the state's testing requirement for high school seniors.
The lawsuit is a follow-up to a petition that 17 organizations signed last
month calling for an end to the high-stakes test mandate. Starting with next year's senior class, high school graduation is tied to a state test called the New England Common Assessment or NECAP.
Approximately 4,000 students face the risk of not graduating next year based on their existing NECAP scores.
Opposition to the testing requirement has built over the past six months, with students, parents and teachers arguing that the test is unfair, especially for urban and minority students who haven't been adequately prepared to understand the material.
Educators have faulted the test because they say it was not designed to be used as a so-called high-stakes test.
State Education Commissioner Deborah A. Gist has come under heavy criticism for her refusal to back down on the testing mandate, and, at one point, her fate in Rhode Island appeared tied to the NECAP. She recently received a two-year extension of her contract after a protracted closed-door discussion by members of the Rhode Island Board of Education, which oversees K-12 and the three public colleges.
The General Assembly recently passed a non-binding resolution expressing their objection to using the NECAP as a gateway for graduation.
Students who fail to earn a score of partial proficiency on the NECAP have a chance to retake the test during their senior year. They may also take an alternate test like the SAT or the Accuplacer.

So, our local grocery store had a fabulous deal on Amish-raised chicken parts this weekend. I have a bunch of cookbooks with instructions for grilling chicken; all of them say to turn the parts over half-way through grilling. But NONE of them tell me to start skin-side or bone-side down.
So, when you grill bone-in chicken, which side do you put on the grill first? Methinks it makes sense to do skin side because the grill is freshly oiled and the skin would stick less in the beginning than toward the end. Or does it even matter?

Vincent's new Trio Eyeshadows coordinate three specially-pressed eyeshadow textures- from soft shimmer ("1") to demi-matte ("2") to matte ("3")- that blend beautifully with a delicate, light-reflecting glow. These pearl-to-matte trios work wonders with all skin tones, and are perfect for both day and evening. The new formula combines rich, full-colour pigment with olive oil for added hydration and rejuvenation of the delicate skin around the eyes. Subtle gradations of shimmer pearl follow the numbers to apply just the right amount of light to each area, eliminating frustration both in colour combination and in application. Plus, thanks to their innovative formulas, these colours both look and feel beautiful, no matter the season.

Just follow the numbers for a perfect soft smokey eye every time!
Beginning with the highlighter shade #1, apply colour from eyelash to eyebrow. Apply shade #2 into the half moon (crease of the eye) to create depth and dimension. Follow by layering shade #3 along the outer corners of the lash line to create definition. For an elongated sweep, blend colour outward and upward past the outer edge of the upper lash line. Also use shade 3 to define the outer lash line, both upper and lower. Finally, for a seamless contoured look, blend all three together with a light touch. It's as easy as 1-2-3!"

Chemotherapy (chemo) is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Most often the drugs are given into a vein. Once the drugs enter the bloodstream, they go throughout the body. This makes it a useful treatment for osteosarcoma, which has often spread to the lungs or other organs, or is likely to do so, even if tumors can't be seen on imaging tests.
Chemo is part of the treatment for most osteosarcomas, although some patients with low-grade osteosarcoma might not need it. Often, chemo is given both before surgery (for about 10 weeks) and then again after surgery for up to a year. Most of the time 2 or 3 drugs are given together in high doses. Doctors give chemo in cycles, with each round of treatment followed by a rest to allow the body time to recover. Each chemo cycle lasts for a few weeks.
Before starting chemo, the doctor might advise surgery to put a thin, soft tube called a catheter or venous access device (VAD) into a large vein in the chest. This lets the health care team give chemo and other drugs and to draw blood samples without having to stick needles into the veins each time. The catheter usually stays in place for several months while chemo is being given.
Side effects of chemo
Chemo kills cancer cells, but it also harms some normal cells. Side effects from chemo will depend on the type of drugs given, the amount taken, and how long treatment lasts. Side effects could include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Hair loss (the hair grows back after treatment ends)
- Mouth sores
- Diarrhea
- Increased chance of infection (caused by a shortage of white blood cells)
- Bleeding or bruising after small cut or injuries (from a shortage of platelets)
- Tiredness or shortness of breath (from a shortage of red blood cells)
Most of these side effects are short-term and tend to go away after treatment. Often there are ways to lessen these side effects. For example, drugs can be given to help prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting, or to help get blood counts back to normal levels. Be sure to discuss any questions you have about side effects with the cancer care team, and tell them about any side effects so that they can be controlled.
Children seem to do better than adults when it comes to chemo. They tend to have less severe side effects and to get over side effects faster. Because of this, doctors can give them higher doses of chemo to try to kill the cancer.
Some chemo drugs can cause other side effects, such as:
- Bladder or kidney damage
- Damage to nerves, which can cause numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet
- Loss of hearing
- Damage to the heart
- Increased risk of a second cancer (such as leukemia) later on
- Loss of fertility (ability to have children)
Serious side effects are rare, but they do happen. Some of these long-term effects are described in the section "Long-term effects of cancer treatment for osteosarcoma."
To find out more about chemo, please see the "Chemotherapy" section of our website.

EASTVALE — For the first time in her career, Burroughs wrestler Mary Marker will have the opportunity to grapple at the state level. The Burros junior finished sixth in the 143-pound weight class at last weekend's CIF Southern Section Girls Championship Tournament at Roosevelt High, a result that sends her to the state meet.
Marker went 3-3 at the tournament en route to her sixth-place finish. After a bye in the opening round, she beat Joyce Locke of Hueneme (Oxnard) 4-2 before losing by second-period pin to Selena De La Cruz of Santa Paula.
After her first loss of the championship, Marker bounced back to beat Ventura's Kalani Wagstaff with a third-round pin that ensured state qualification. She then pinned Lariah Gonzales of Loara (Anaheim) in the second round before losing 14-3 to West Covina's Esmerelda Garcia.
In the fifth-place match, Marker was pinned by Joshandy Moreno of Santa Ana in the second period. Four of her six matches at the tournament came against state qualifiers.
As one of the top eight finishers in her weight class, Marker advances to the CIF State Girls Wrestling Tournament at the Visalia Convention Center in Visalia. The state tournament will be held Feb. 28 and March 1.

Resources for Do-It-Yourself Investors
How can people with limited assets and income get good investment advice?
GUS SAUTER: There are a variety of ways to get good advice. It may not be customized, or tailored precisely for any particular individual, but as long as one's risk tolerance isn't either extremely conservative or extremely aggressive, an investor can assemble an effective investment strategy.
For investors who are self provisioners and want to create their own portfolio, there is a wealth of education available online. While many people think investing is hard, it doesn't have to be. Just remember three major principles—balance, diversification, low cost. And think long term. Many mutual-fund companies provide tremendous education on their websites for do it yourselfers.
For those who don't want to be actively engaged in creating an investment plan, there are a number of mutual funds that essentially provide advice in a product. These so called target retirement funds or target date funds are designed to be one-stop shopping and represent the fund company's best thinking for asset allocation for an investor of a certain age. For example, a 2050 target retirement fund is designed for someone who will turn 65 in 2050, or a year close to that. Such a fund would likely have a pretty aggressive allocation today, reflecting the investor's young age (28). The fund will become more conservative as the investor ages, reflecting the investor's declining ability to take risk as she gets older. These funds can be very effective for investors that don't have large or complex portfolios.
George U. "Gus" Sauter is a senior consultant to Vanguard Group. From 2003 through 2012, Mr. Sauter served as Vanguard's chief investment officer.

The internet is the way of the future...but your child's future can be put at risk with a click of the mouse.
Today, one local group spent their morning educating young girls on the dangers lurking online.
According to protectkids.com, one in five children who use computer chat rooms has been approached by a pedophile. And that's just one of many scary statistics the Augusta Chapter of the Links, Inc. are working to change.
"It's frightening all the things that can go wrong on the internet with the youth," said instructor Florida Reed. "So many of our young girls make mistakes---not because they are not well trained, it's that they are very, very innocent and the enemy is very, very dangerous."
At the workshop Smart Girls Make Wise Choices, the Links, Inc. discussed topics like peer pressure, drugs, and the dangers of chat rooms with young women.
"So many of our young girls are being pulled into that dark hole of chat rooms," said Reed.
Mary Levi, a mother of two, is working to educate children on chat room safety.
"The pedophiles--the ones just waiting for the opportunity to prey on a young child because of the inexperience that child may have," Levi said. "There are so many potential dangers, so be careful as you type in information in a chat room because it can always be used against you by the wrong persons."
Both women say parents need to be on the lookout too.
Levi also says parents should also talk openly with their children about the internet. She recommends the website getwisenet.com. The site offers safety tips such as contracts with your kids, establishing rules for internet use, limiting your child's time on the internet, and filtering children's access to certain websites.

We are a completely volunteer run organization—so nothing gets done without the support of people just like you! Volunteers work street fairs, concerts and fundraisers; plant our farms; paint murals and fences; and offer educational programs for adults. We've had volunteers who have been elected to the board by the membership and who now chair committees, manage events, raise money and make sure we keep on mission.
We have 3 categories of volunteers—find out which one is right for you.
Trained Volunteers
Several times a year we offer a volunteer training. At this 2-hour event, future volunteers will learn more about the history of the slow food movement and the programs of Slow Food NYC. Anyone who wants to represent SFNYC at an information table or at an event is required to go through this training first so they can answer questions from the general public. These volunteers are welcome to help out on board committees—planning Slow U, book club, fundraiser or Slur events. These volunteers can also help vet Snail of Approval nominees.
Watch our Events Calendar or our Email Newsletter for upcoming training sessions.
Hands-on Work
Many times during the year we will put out a call for volunteers to help plant or prepare our farm space or help at a school garden. You might want to volunteer for an on-going commitment on the farm during the summer. No special training is necessary, just the commitment to show up and the willingness to work.
Watch our Events Calendar or our Email Newsletter for upcoming volunteer days and work opportunities at our gardens.
Special Skills
We are also always looking for volunteers with special skills to help make our large non-profit run. We need graphic designers, public relations professionals, photographers and videographers, grant writers, event professionals. Food industry and local agricultural professionals help create our adult educational programs that help fund our programs with NYC school children. If you have a special skill you want to share, or a great fundraising/educational idea—please let us know.

Alyeska Resort will Host the Third Annual
Alyeska Pipeline Masters Super Pipe Competition to be held March 10
February 24, 2012 (Girdwood, Alaska) – The Alyeska Resort Pipeline Super Pipe will host its first competition of the season on Saturday, March 10 from 5:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. The Alyeska Pipeline Masters competition is open to skiers and snowboarders ages 13 and older. Prizes will be provided by zAK's Boardroom and Alyeska Mountain Shop. Spectators will be able to watch the athletes compete and stay warm around a bonfire at the base of the 440 foot half pipe. An awards ceremony will immediately follow the competition.
The super pipe opened on Saturday, February 25 and is located just below the mid-way point of Chair 7. Preparations for opening the super pipe required many hours of dedicated snowmaking and grooming time. The super pipe utilizes an in-ground design which typically reduces the amount of snow needed to open and takes advantage of natural snowfall accumulation. The terrain park and super pipe crew started making snow for the super pipe in December, taking advantage of the cold temperatures. To shape and maintain the super pipe, the resort uses an 18-foot Zaugg Pipe Monster grooming machine. The Super Pipe is 440 ft in length and 56 ft in width with 18 ft walls.
Registration forms are available online and completed forms can be dropped off at the Alyeska Resort Tram Ticket Office until 4:00 P.M. on Saturday, March 10. Parental signature is required for athletes 13 to 17 years in age and helmets are required for all participants. The competition is open to skiers and riders and the entry fee is $25 per person. Please note, the cost of a lift ticket is not included in the entry fee. Call 754-2275 for more detailed registration information or visit AlyeskaResort.com.
