Paul Horny, Longtime Farm Manager of Michigan's Saginaw Valley Research & Extension Center, Talks About His Work & the Center's Sugarbeet Role
Those 25 years were invested as farm manager of the 120-acre Saginaw Valley Bean and Beet Research Farm. Established by Michigan State University in 1971 and situated just a few miles west of Saginaw, the farm property was actually owned by the state's sugarbeet and dry bean industry groups. For many years, it served as the primary location for MSU research on those two crops.

Local tax preparers are gearing up for changes to the federal income tax system created by the passage of this year's fiscal cliff legislation.
The most evident change that's taking place is the date people can first begin filing their income tax forms - it has been pushed back to Jan. 31. This altered date was created to give the IRS time to reflect legislation in updated tax forms, said Shirley Hyson, owner of Elkins H&R Block, who said employees in her office are noticing the legislation's effect.
"Normally, we started filing returns the second week in January," she said. Now, employees are still waiting to receive all versions of their blank tax forms.
Hyson said she is able to work with customers to collect necessary tax information, but forms cannot be filled out until they arrive, and completed forms won't be accepted until the end of the month.
One other effect that legislation is having on citizens is the increased amount of time the IRS will take to mail refunds. Hyson said delivery time, in the past, was one to two weeks - now, refunds won't be mailed for up to 21 days.
The combined effect of these date changes, Hyson said, is that people won't be receiving their refunds until much later in the year.
Last year, it was possible to file in early January and receive a refund by early February. This year, similar early receipts will not be possible.
H&R Block offers professional tax services throughout the year and may be contacted by phone at 304-636-7795.
Tax help is also available through AARP-supported services at the Elkins and Buckhannon Senior centers.
Don Neiman, a tax preparer with the AARP - who offers free tax help for people with low incomes or individuals who are at least 60 years old - spoke to The Inter-Mountain about tax credits and exemptions that were extended through this tax year. Neiman noted that the legislation has included some positive provisions, despite the date changes.
"(The IRS) has increased things like the dollar amount for exemptions," Neiman said.
For instance, the 2012 standard deduction has been raised $150, from last year, up to $5,950.
Other standard deductions, such as head of household, married filing jointly and qualified widow(er), have also been increased, he said.
Neiman also mentioned that legislation has extended some deductions that were scheduled to expire at the end of 2012. These include IRA distributions for charitable purposes, the educator expense adjustment, tuition-related adjustments, mortgage insurance premium deductions and state/local sales tax deductions.
He said the extended filing dates shouldn't hit people too hard.
"Most folks don't typically get tax forms from their employer until late in January," he said.
This means that most people, in previous years, weren't able to file until the current deadline. He said this knowledge should lessen the perceived impact that the date changes may create.
Tax help is offered by Neiman and others, at the Elkins Senior Center every Monday and Thursday, beginning Feb. 4. They can be contacted by phone at 304-636-4747. They will be at the Buckhannon Senior Center every Wednesday and can be reached at 304-472-0528.
Catholic Charities, in Elkins, also offers tax help to those with low incomes.
Regional Director Cindy Hammer said the extended dates are allowing Catholic Charities officials additional time to get ready.
"It gave us extra time to prepare," Hammer said about the legislative changes.
Similar to the Elkins Senior Center, Catholic Charities works in conjunction with the AARP to offer tax assistance.
Hammer said Catholic Charities provides office space for AARP volunteers.
"(The service) is totally free and volunteer driven," she said.
Unfortunately, Hammer said, this year she doesn't yet have volunteers to provide tax help.
She said the charity is working with Davis & Elkins College to recruit students who may be interested.
Catholic Charities may be reached by calling 304-636-4875.

I think Dekeyser is a good player and all, but I feel like this forum is sort of overrating him a bit. Maybe it's just me?
I honestly believe there's quite a few of us here that see him as a top-notch NCAA player with potential to become a top 4 Dman at the NHL level.
Right now - if he were to don a Red Wings jersey, and step right into the line up - chances are he'd have some issues handling the bigger/stronger/faster players.

Worth the wait Review by LB
I recently was in the market for a Life Fitness treadmill. After doing some research and speaking with multiple companies I found Total Body Experts. It was obvious to me that the people at Total Body Experts were very Knowledgeable and very helpful. I decided to purchase from them and it was a great decision. The product was delivered on time and it exceeded my expectations. Great company to work with. Nice to do business with a company that delivers on what they say.

Sucess! Review by Belinda C.
Total Body Experts was extremely easy to work with. They were much less expensive than purchasing the same product new. The staff was responsive and helpful. I'd certainly purchase refurbished fitness equipment from them again.

The Best, don't accept less Review by Nickee K.
After using a great treadmill at a hotel while traveling in Calgary, I came home to the US and wanted to purchase one for my home. I was able to find a great savings for the exact machine by purchasing through an E-bay listing with Total Body Experts. While shipping took a while, the product came in perfect condition and a representative came to set it up just as promised. Everyone in my family is enjoying using the machine. The staff at Total Body Experts were very helpful in answering my questions and tracking down the item with UPS. Always friendly and courteous. Thank you! My only reason for rating them a 4 star instead of 5 is the shipping time.

Another Happy customer. Review by Giovanni B.
I was looking for a good quality treadmill for my home and I decided to buy the model that I had been using at the gym. The Life Fitness 95T is a great machine that is a workhorse without having a lot of useless bells and whistles. Total Body Experts gave me a great price on a refurbed 95T with shipping included. The treadmill showed up right to my front door (in a huge crate) with no damage of any kind. It was a snap to get everything put together, and I had it up and running in about 90 minutes. Unfortunately the incline motor was a dud and did not work at all. I emailed Total Body Experts and they got back to me immediately and shipped a new incline motor to me. They would have arranged a service call for me but it was a simple 15 minute job to get installed so I did it myself. Since then the 95T has performed flawlessly. The entire experience with Total Body was awesome. I got a great price with fast, free shipping. I wish the incline motor had worked right off the bat but these electrical problems happen occasionally, and they were extremely professional about getting it fixed quickly. If I ever need to buy more gym equipment for my home I will certainly go through Total Body Experts.

Discovery Quotes Isserman on Everest Tragedy
By Vige Barrie | Contact Maurice Isserman
Posted April 25, 2014
Tags Faculty Faculty Books Hamilton Headlines Hamilton In the News History Humanities Maurice Isserman Mt. Everest
In an online Discovery News article titled "Mt. Everest: Why Do People Keep Climbing It?," Maurice Isserman, the Publius Virgilius Rogers Professor of American History, commented on the recent tragedy on Mt. Everest. A second article on the same site titled "Do We Need Police on Everest" that appeared on April 24 also included comments from Isserman.
In the first article, Isserman said, "From the moment it was identified as the highest mountain, it became an object of fascination. There are more interesting mountains to climb. There are more beautiful mountains. There are more challenging mountains that are a better experience. But it's a trophy. It's the biggest." The article appeared on April 22.
In the second piece, Isserman spoke about the growing number of climbers on Everest and the evolving code of climbing ethics. "Climbing has this elaborate and evolving code of ethics. The really ethical thing would be to give the poor mountain a vacation," he commented.
Isserman is the co-author of Fallen Giants: A History of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Empire to the Age of Extremes.

It's Just a Jump to The Left
The Cubs finished up their organizational meetings in Arizona and as expected, they'll attempt to find some left-handed bats.
''We're going to try to add some different wrinkles, offensively
especially,'' Piniella told the Sun-Times. ''We are going to add
left-handed hitting to this mix. From an offensive standpoint, that is
definitely the No. 1 priority. And if we can get a little more athletic
in the process, we're going to do that, too.''
I think we all knew that was going to be the plan, but the big question will be what can they afford. Crane Kenney has already backed off his earlier statements that the Cubs will raise their payroll next season, citing the worldwide economic slowdown as the main culprit along with a curious case of content over the current Cubs roster.
''I don't want to get into payroll speculation until Jim and
[assistant GM Randy Bush] and their team have done their work,'' said
Cubs chairman Crane Kenney, who nonetheless made it clear he doesn't
expect the kind of jumps that increased the payroll from in the $90
millions in 2006 to $130 million by the end of this season.
''I'm not sure we're going to have any major offseason moves that
would require significant payroll capacity,'' Kenney added. ''We'll
leave that to Jim and Randy and the guys to work through, and we'll see
where we are in a couple of weeks. ... We try not to lose sight of the
fact that we won 97 games for a reason. We have a core that's pretty
damn good.''
Yes, the Cubs outscored everybody in the NL last year and if they returned everyone from last season, I'm rather confident they would still be one of the best teams in the NL, possibly even better with a few more starts going to Rich Harden. Yet, they'd still be vulnerable to a right-heavy pitching staff again in the playoffs and it's never a good idea to stay content, no matter the previous successes.
The short list of left-handed bats worth looking at for next season:
Free Agents
Mark Teixeira -1B
Adam Dunn - LF
Jason Giambi - 1B
Bobby Abreu - RF/LF
Milton Bradley - CF/RF
Orlando Hudson - 2B
Rafael Furcal - SS
Ken Griffey Jr. - RF/CF (team option)
Jim Edmonds - CF
Raul Ibanez - LF
Garret Anderson - LF
Brian Giles - RF (team option)
There also might be some trade targets like Brian Roberts or Aubrey Huff of the Orioles, but a little too early to speculate on who might be available and at what cost. And much like last season where the Cubs went after Kosuke Fukudome in free agency before exploring trade talks for players like Nick Swisher or Raul Ibanez, I imagine the Cubs will do it again this season.
If I were a betting man, either Rafael Furcal or Orlando Hudson will be a Cub next season with the Cubs likely putting another full-court press on Furcal like they did three years ago...this time without McFail there to cockblock Hendry. This will make it easy for Lou to move Soriano down in the order and give Lou that flexibility (in other words more speed) in the lineup. If that was the only move to the lineup, you could see something like this versus righties.
Furcal, Lee, Soriano, Ramirez, Soto, Fukudome, DeRosa, Pie
And with Mike Fontenot in the mix, we could see plenty of Fontenot in there instead of Fukudome with DeRosa moving to right field. Fontenot is also the reason I think the Cubs will make Furcal their number one priority over Hudson, as he already give the Cubs the flexibility to move DeRosa around. If Furcal alludes them again and they can sign Hudson, it could look a little like this versus righties.
Theriot, Hudson, Soriano, Ramirez, Lee, Soto, Fukudome/Pie, DeRosa
That still leaves the middle of the order lacking a left-handed presence so I don't expect the Cubs to stop there. I don't think they'll make a big move, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs go after Raul Ibanez or Brian Giles if his option is declined by the Padres which seems likely considering they've entered cost-cutting mode. I think there's a small chance they go after Milton Bradley, but injury and attitude concerns will always be there with him.
That would pretty much make Fukudome battle for a spot in the lineup, likely with Felix Pie in center field. While the changes aren't drastic, I'm not sure the Cubs need to make drastic moves for a team that already scored the most runs in the league, just a few subtle improvements to help balance out the lineup. And with already $109M committed in payroll next year and a few spots to fill on the pitching side, just adding Furcal and Ibanez would add plenty to their payroll, although with Hendry's mastery of the back-loaded deal, it might not be that big of an issue for 2009.
Now Hendry might surprise us all and find some takes for Derrek Lee and Jason Marquis and then get in on the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes and trust me I'm all for it. I just don't see there being much of a market for either Lee or Marquis. Lee has a no-trade clause, declining skills and $26 M left on his deal. No-trade clauses get waived all the time, but it usually takes some incentive to do so and then you're likely getting into paying part of Lee's contract which would sort of defeat the whole purpose. Marquis can be traded against his will but at almost $10M there's just no way the Cubs will unload that without paying a healthy portion of it. If it's $1-2M out of the Cubs pockets, it might be worth it still, but if they're going to start having to pay half or more, how much of a benefit will that really be?
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
why does Hendry have an elbow growing out of his head?
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
it's called color correction, son. you should know about it!
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Give the guy a break. He's still all broken up about the NLDS.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
If they go after Ibanez...who, living in Seattle, I have a great appreciation for...what do you envision the outfield to look like? I ask this assuming you see Soriano in right? Old Man Giles can play right, but I'm pretty sure Raul cannot.
I've mentioned it in the past, but even when they lose, Ibanez still gets big cheers from the crowd. He's a huge fan favorite, and it seems, quite a lead by example sort of guy.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
And in the FWIW column:
Talking to a good friend who went to Penn and was in the football fraternity house there. I asked him if Mark DeRosa was in the same house. Nonchalantly he was like, "yeah" he was a year behind me.
And I'm thinking "You never thought to mention this before?"
Not that it's a big deal but you think he would have said something.
Re: Brewers guy gets Seattle GM job
I wouldn't be overly surprised if Ichiro was traded. I would love to have him. Oh man, my pants just got tight.
Re: Brewers guy gets Seattle GM job
Ichiro is Viagra in Japanese?
If we get Ichiro
then him and Soriano then they can have a competive contest of who can walk the least. Ichiro's whole game is based on speed and for a 32 yo guy making major coin for alot of years, I dont think that would a wise investment.
Re: If we get Ichiro
Um, no, his game isn't based entirely speed. He is fast, yes, but he's also a fantastic defender (glove, arm and speed) and has great contact. They're not all infield singles that he hits, believe it or not. But, despite being 32, he is still very fast. Ichiro doesn't walk much, but that's because he gets so many hits...over 200 every year of his MLB career.
And seriously, you're warning against getting Ichiro by comparing him to Soriano? Is it because they're polar opposite baseball players? And...you do realize that Soriano is good, right?
Besides, he's said that toward the end of his career he wants to become a pitcher, so we'd have that going for us.
Re: If we get Ichiro
When he starts to lose some speed, his defense will go down because he wont be able to get to as much balls as he does now. Infact a lost of speed might affect his arm as he wont be able to get himself into the best possible throwing postion if it takes him a little longer to get to the ball. For a guy who relies on infield hits for a fifth to a quarter of his hits, if he looses half of his infield hits, he is going to be a .285/335/350/685 guy who is not worth the money he will be making. I think he is a good player, but at 35 you have to wonder how many prime years this guy has left. I think its 2 at most.
Re: If we get Ichiro
For a guy who relies on infield hits for a fifth to a quarter of his hits, if he looses half of his infield hits
Huh? According to Fangraphs, 12.2% of his hits have been infield hits.
Re: If we get Ichiro
I was just dividing 200 by 50, but I still stand by my point that when his skills go it will be a sharp decline.
Re: If we get Ichiro
Except your point is wrong based on the stats.
Cutting 12% of hits in half is much different than cutting 20-25% of his hits.
Re: If we get Ichiro
Oh yeah, sorry...I didn't even bother to fact check the dude's age reference. Anyway...
Re: If we get Ichiro
What's more, Ichiro might be able to give Fuku some transitional pointers.
Re: I shouldn't bring this up
Aw fuck. I'll be back in a week or so...
Re: I shouldn't bring this up
More importantly, take off that ugly fucking RHPS picture!
Re: I shouldn't bring this up
No...it just scares me. Much like the thought of Palin in the White House. Zinger!
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
wonder where this left handed bat goes...
possible open slots pending trade...SS, CF...
im not giving up RF yet cuz fukudome is getting some serious loot and he came to play...i don't see him as a bench player.
im not giving up 2nd cuz derosa is too good to play off the bench...and he's shown it the past 2 years becoming one of the best deals in baseball for a middle IF'r. you guys see the contract mark ellis got from Mr. Moneyball a few days ago...2yr/11m?
you definitely want hoffpower on the bench (i'm not getting into trade scenerios right now...esp. ones that involve dlee)...you pretty much have to carry pie...johnson is also in the bench mix.
i don't see much happening without trades, myself...
i get the feeling they want a lefty bat to stick between dlee/aram/soto somewhere since fuku isnt much of a #5 hitter. eventually soriano needs to join that middle-lineup group even if not in 09.
just kicking the situation around as it stands...anyone see anything else?
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
i did...im just looking for "as it stands" to take a base of where the team is.
basically not even going to "step 1"...just taking stock and not assuming trade partners/targets yet.
only assumption im laying out is derosa/fukudome staying a starter somewhere on the field...
i believe a trade is gonna happen...there's too much good stuff on the bench. there's just so much to kick around in possibilities.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Fukudome to CF, add a LHH to RF---Abreu, Bradley, or Hemedia(trade from Fla), add switch hitting type middle inf, trade DLee---need 4 LHH in line-up---1B, CF, RF, and in the middle----cannot continue to into the play-offs with a RHH line-up vs the good play-off teams who have RHP--Hendrey will get this done
burb broonley
bob brenley has his interview with MIL tommorow (manager).
given how close to the cubs he has been and the past WS win...well...there's more than a passing chance len will have a new partner next year.
Re: Rays vs. Phillies Wives
for some reason, you're URL's are not clickable links again
Re: Rays vs. Phillies Wives
I guess Rob's link lets us see what Cole Hamels sees in Heidi Hamels. Good Lord Almighty!
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
The Unathletic thing is what makes me wonder.
Here's our 'standard' lineup:
The 'unathletic' guys there are three of our four best hitters, and besides Soto, they all have NTC's.
So which unathletic guy are they talking about? Rob thinks it's Theriot, but he just got finished telling m Theriot is fast. Fast + Shortstop would equal athletic to me. Lee? He's the position playing team leader, and has lost some foot speed, but with the exception of Soriano he's probably the only one on the team who could have played D1 basketball. He's also still a helluva first basemen.
I wonder if The Fontenaught will have some more trade value now. Will a Fontenaught, Marshall (assuming Hill is good to go), Ceda package start to look intriguing to the Orioles now that Roberts is a year closer to Free Agency?
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
it stinks of "we're gonna make a run at furcal" to me.
i wonder how much he's worth in this market. even coming off an injury season "average" middle infielders who are starters seem to be worth 5m a year as it is (im not calling furcal average, btw).
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
I'll call Furcal average.
His career OPS+ is 96. He was a good hitter in a small sample last year, but the year before he hit .270 .333 .355 (Rob G can probably let us know if he was hurt) with 25 SB's, essentially he's Ryan Singles, only costs 10 x as much and can switch hit, assuming he stays healthy.
Jeff Blauser2.0
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
isnt an OPS+96 good for a SS? I wasnt too high on getting him last time because of the DUI stuff (he was bascially 1 DUI from a 6 month jail term, which likely would have gotten him into Visa issues as well) and his habit of wanting to play catch with guys in dugout and stands in the middle of the game. As we saw in the NLCS that is still an issue for him. Assuming he got his DUI exponged for good behavior and a clause is thrown in his contract voiding it if goes on the DL for 2+ months because of his back, (or gets thrown in jail during the season if he drives again after getting his drink on if he is a DUI from a 6 month jail sentance), I would be fine with a 4/34 deal for him, through i'd rather have the O-dog personally.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
this is why looking at one stat only is no way to compare a player
theriot and his 93 ops+ .307 .387 .359 1 hr 38 rbis (on the highest obp team in baseball) 85 runs
furcal (04) 95 ops+ .279 .344 .414 14 hrs 59 rbis 103 runs
not to mention much better at defense
i'll take 2004 furcal any day with his 95 ops+
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
But the thing is the 2004 Rafael Furcal isn't available.
The one who is avaiable hasn't been able to combine a good hitting season with a good defensive season in three years (from the start of 2009).
I agree that a healthy Furcal in theory solves a lot of our problems. In practice though, I don't think there's any such thing as a healthy Furcal.
$5 million with PA incentives, alright. $8 to $10 million guaranteed over thee to four years? No thanks.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Even if you break it down by times on base, you get the reverse of the RBI opportunities thing - it's better to have Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz batting behind you then Ryan Theriot and Rich Harden.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
I wonder is slugging percentage has anything to do with that?
Point is, that he can't perform even in the best scenario you can imagine.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
If you threw out first basemen, catchers and fat pitchers, Theriot would be below average. On the Cubs roster other than those positions, I'd probably put him ahead of Aram, about the same as Edmonds, DeRosa and Cedeno.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Yes, that's exactly what I am saying.
It's not that hard to find out - we can time him fom home to first or 1st to 3rd or whatever. I think that you're assuming that because he had some good SB%'s he's much faster than he is. Jason Bay and Kevin McReynolds threw up some good SB numbers - neither of them were ever accused of being fast, or 'having speed' if you prefer that term.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
I can agree with you that he maybe was fast six years ago. I don't see it now. I'll get stopwatch and see what I come up with. You'd think you could find some scouting report on the interweb about him, but I sure can't.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
with the exception of Soriano he's [Lee] probably the only one on the team who could have played D1 basketball
Lee was recruited by, and committed to, North Carolina, which agreed to let him play basketball and baseball. But he turned pro when the Padres drafted him 14th.
1993 was an interesting draft:
1. ARod
2. Darren Dreifort
7. Trot Nixon
12. Billy Wagner
14. Derek Lee
15. Chris Carpenter
19. Jay Powell
20. Torii Hunter
21. Jason Varitek
The Cubs had 3 first round picks that year:
10. Brooks Kieschnick
24. Jon Ratliff
29. Kevin Orie

Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
Ryan Theriot is not a great ballplayer.
He is not a power hitter, or a flashy fielder.
Chad, I am sorry that Ryan Theriot stole your girlfriend, or killed your dog, or whatever he did to set you off.
Would I ilke to see Jimmy Rollins, Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes, Miguel Tejada, Michael Young, or that type at SS? I would, to name a few.
Theriot had a solid season. He hit for a decent average, got on base at a good clip, and was, despite the bleating of a few, and pointing out a bad error or 2, a decent fielder despite having a below average arm.
He got thrown out stealing way too much. This from a player who was 41 of 46 in steals his first season and a half. Should he be reined in next season? Sure.
He is not the reason the Cubs got swept again.
If the 2004 Furcal isn't available, can we trade for the 1991 Cal Ripken?
A lack of a true leadoff hitter, a lack of good left handed hitting, and a huge suck job by most of the team in general?
Yep...that'll about describe it.
Re: It's Just a Jump to The Left
I want a short stop that can field. Theriot is not a 'decent fielder' and he has a horrible arm.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Someone in the borough doesn't seem to like either choice for mayor, and he or she showed it over the past week by swiping campaign signs throughout the area - including from both candidates' yards.
"Someone must not like either one of us," said Mayor Joseph Dodson, adding that five of his campaign signs are missing.
One was taken from his Wayne Street front yard last week, and others have disappeared from Walnut, North Juniata and Allegheny streets as recently as the weekend.
After the first sign was stolen from his yard, he decided not to replace it, he said, but because he'd been stapling the bottom of the signs to keep them from blowing away, he doesn't think heavy wind is the culprit.
"I wish they would quit taking them," Dodson said. "For people to do things like that, it's ridiculous."
Borough Council President John Stultz, who also is a mayoral candidate, said more than a dozen of his signs were stolen, most of them early last week.
Two signs were taken from his yard in a three-day period, he said. The first sign disappeared overnight April 23; its replacement went up Thursday but was taken overnight as well.
"This isn't the end of the world," Stultz said, but added that the thefts have slowed and he hopes interest in sign-stealing has waned.
Both candidates said the cost comes out to about $7 per sign, so Dodson and Stultz have lost more than $100 between them.
"These signs aren't cheap," Dodson said.
Stultz said his supporters likely will be more vigilant and watch their yards, but it's hard when they're being taken under cover of darkness.
Dodson said he mentioned the incident to Assistant Police Chief David Gehret, but, like Stultz, didn't plan on filing a report.
"I asked [officers] to keep an eye out for both our signs," Dodson said. "I'd like to find out who's taking them."
Borough Police Chief Jeffrey Ketner said officers will be vigilant on patrol and they hope to catch whoever is responsible in the act.

Oh yummy! We will be trying this very soon
Such a warm and comforting dish. Perfect for this cold weather!
Oh YUMMM! Comfort food at its finest. I love every one of these flavors…mixed together would make it awesome.
Hot damn, this looks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I have never been a fan of Brunswick Stew, but I will be trying this one1 Yummy!!
I would make a gianormous batch of this to serve for a game day party!
was delicious! only change i did was used 2 drained cans of diced potatoes to save time.
I found your website by searching for potato soup then couldn't stop looking at all the poke cake recipes! 😀 I needed a recipe for ground beef for dinner tonight cause I know my family was getting tired of spaghetti! I knew this was the recipe for me when I saw the Sweet Baby Ray's!! I've got it in the crockpot now and it looks, smells and tastes delicious!
I used baby ray's honey BBQ sauce and it is goood, taste like a slow cooked BBQ stew. My sister liked it, but my brother could only taste the BBQ sauce. I see original was used here. So is honey BBQ too strong or is it suppose to be that way?
I need to try it with a steak or roast for shredded instead of ground beef now. ^_^
I really love the recipes in your blog. They look delicious and easy to follow.
This stew stuns me. I will do it tonight.
This looks so yummy – going on my Sunday Soup Supper list STAT. Can't wait to try it this weekend.
I never heard of it – maybe it's a southern (like you said Virginia) thing? Def. not a Minnesota thing – though a hearty warm soup is just what we need in the winter! 🙂
as you stated early on , we used Rabbit ( taste like sweet chicken ) , an Squirrel ( sweet pork ) ,,, an homemade biscuits , an Granny was from Georgia…… my my it was good we would eat till we felt like we would be sick ,,, She would just laugh ….
This looks like a great quick and easy recipe. I am from Georgia and Brunswick Stew is definitely a southern thing. I LOVE it and am therefore VERY snobby about my Brunswick Stew. I use cooked chopped chicken, smoked pork butt, ground pork, and ground chuck. I use baby lima's in mine but would never add okra.
We made this tonight and I thought it was scrumptious!! The potatoes needed a little extra boiling time because they were not done after 30 minutes. My husband has been eating this for years from a restaurant in GA and he said it is supposed to look like hash…? Mine wasn't too "hashy." I love your site and your recipes are so great and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your gift!! <3
YOU know what I like about your recipes? they are MEGA EASY – my Brunswick stew recipes take ALL DAY LONG to make and are expensive to make – this is the time of year when I live off soups and stews – that with some cornbread or homemade biscuits & honey – this is PERFECT when I don't have one planned and want something to just throw together (and Sweet Baby Rays is the ONLY bbq sauce served in this house) another of my winter favorites is baked potato soup OMG – artery hardening and delicious on a cold winter day … I use milk, butter sour cream, cream cheese, grated cheddar, chives sauteed onions vegan bacon flavored bits and potatoes chunked and lightly smashed (meat eaters can use real bacon) a loaf of homemade cheddar onion bread – seriously to die for
this is on the stove right now:)
I made this and it was very good. The only changes I made was I added lima beans and used chicken instead of ground beef.
I made this for supper tonight. Slow cooked it all day in my crock pot. It was sooo warm and comforting on a cold day as today. I agree it definitely has a smokey flavor. The only difference I made was added a green pepper. My husband and I loved it. A super stew recipe for a cold Winter day. Thanks 🙂
This looks so good but my husband is picky about tomatoes. Could. Use tomato paste or sauce as a substitute?
I made this tonight and it was beyond amazing. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. My husband is a picky eater and he had two huge bowls of this!!!
I made this and messed up by putting too much BBQ sauce it says on the recipe list to use 28 oz BBQ sauce and I used a little more than that (oops) when it really means to say 18oz!
Made this tonight with a few changes, used tomato paste, only half of the BBQ sauce, Bushes baked beans and a dash of hot sauce. I left out the northern/pinto beans my hubby doesn't like them. It was yummy! Thanks for the wonderful meal ideas.
I made this and everyone loved it! I had extra shredded chicken in the fridge and added that in addition to the ground meat. It made so much I got to freeze half of it 🙂 thanks for posting!!!
This turned out perfect and is great for a make ahead freezer meal!
How much okra? And how and when would I add this, please? email@example.com

Grand Rapids Teacher Files State Charges Against Union and School District for Circumventing Right to Work Law
Union and school officials collude to force school employees into dues-paying union ranks despite Right to Work law
Grand Rapids, MI (July 18, 2014) – A Grand Rapids-area special education teacher has filed state charges against a local union and the school district for violating Michigan's Right to Work law.
With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, Becky Lapham of Portland, Michigan, filed the state charges with the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) in Detroit.
The 11-year Lincoln Developmental Center school teacher filed charges against the Michigan Education Association (MEA) union and Grand Rapids Public Schools for entering into an agreement illegally amending and extending the forced dues provisions in the monopoly bargaining agreement beyond the date allowed under Michigan's Right to Work law for public employees.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — A Northern California man facing two felony counts for his alleged role in a New Year's Eve Weekend fatal accident at a pedestrian crosswalk at Lake Tahoe has been arrested for allegedly attacking a man at Sunday's San Francisco Giants baseball game.According to various media reports, Christopher Torii Smith, 26, of Grass Valley, Calif., was arrested at ATandamp;T Park, where the Giants were playing the Los Angeles Dodgers, shortly after he allegedly approached a 21-year-old victim in a bathroom and hit him numerous times.The San Jose Mercury News was the first to report Smith's arrest on Monday evening.He allegedly fled the bathroom, but was arrested at the park and booked into jail on suspicion of battery, vandalism and public intoxication. The victim suffered a laceration to his lip in the attack.Further details on the incident were not available Tuesday afternoon.
Smith is awaiting trial on two felony charges of driving under the influence of a prohibited substance causing death regarding the Lake Tahoe incident.On Tuesday, Michael Becker — Smith's attorney for the Tahoe incident — said he had briefly spoken with Smith that day before his cellphone service cut the call short. As of Tuesday afternoon, he said needed to learn more information about the San Francisco incident before offering comment.Michael Bolenbaker, a deputy district attorney with Washoe County, said on Tuesday a trial date for the Tahoe incident was set for May 20, 2013, after Smith was arraigned on Aug. 29 in Reno.Smith pleaded not guilty to the charges, Becker said Tuesday.According to previous reports, Smith was driving a black 2006 Chevrolet pickup southbound (east toward Sand Harbor) on Highway 28 east of the Village Boulevard intersection shortly before 8 p.m. on Dec. 30, 2011, when his truck struck Linda S. Mathis and Robert C. Mathis, who were crossing from the east side. The Mathises, who were Incline residents, both 46, died from injuries suffered.According to the charges, Smith, who was 25 at the time of the incident, had marijuana in his system, and he failed to yield to the right of way of the pedestrians. The amount of marijuana in Smith's blood was identified as greater than or equal to 5 nanograms per milliliter.On Tuesday, Becker hinted at one of Smith's main points of defense, saying that Nevada's law regarding controlled substances within one's system may be faulty, considering that while Smith may have had the drug in his blood, he was likely not under the influence during the incident."That's the challenge, as whatever was in his system had likely metabolized and was no longer affecting him," Becker said.Becker also said he expects "ongoing negotiations" to occur with the DA's office about a possible plea deal to avoid trial.

The 8 Most Ridiculously Badass Protesters Ever Photographed
Flaming Scarf Guy
Image found by the awesome Strigoi
Another protester in the anti-Mubarak riots, Flaming Scarf Guy looks like he walked straight out of an anime (that he just firebombed). The context is unclear even in the original Al Jazeera photo, so we can't say if he caused that explosion, or if he just sort of appears out of the ether whenever there is an explosion. We're going to assume a terrifying combination of the two, like a napalm-based variant of the Bloody Mary legend.
Plenty of people see this picture and make jokes about that old action hero cliche: Cool guys don't look at explosions, they just turn and walk away. But that's not what's happening here, exactly. There's no indication that he's walking away from anything; he's entirely content where he is. He felt the hot breath of that multi-story fireball on his neck, and decided that a good precautionary measure for that kind of danger was to put a scarf on. If he casually strolls away from anything, it will be no less than the heat death of the sun.
Surf Tha Police
You can fight the riot cops. You can scream at them, spit in their faces, accuse them of supporting fascism, and question their morals, their motives, and the integrity of their mother's vagina. Or you can give a giggling, psychotic finger to logic and reason, and opt instead to just pull a Dukes of Hazzard on those bastards. Hey, it makes sense: Those shields are like makeshift ramps, he probably got some sweet air.
This is yet a third Egyptian protester, and this image completes the most epic trilogy since Lord of the Rings. Yes, pictures are all a matter of timing, and yes, there was probably an unfortunate aftermath immediately after this, and no, it probably didn't do much to stop the police in the grand scheme of things. But for just this one single moment in time, this is a man dive-tackling an entire fucking precinct worth of riot cops and he is unquestionably succeeding.
Dairy Rioter
This dairy farmer was protesting the EU headquarters in Brussels over rapidly falling milk prices. And that's...probably the least exciting protest that's ever been staged, wrestling away the #1 spot from long-standing champ: The "mail peanuts to executives to keep Jericho on the air" campaign. But this man did not earn his spot on a list populated with iconic badasses hurling grenades and roaring obscenities in the face of authority because of what he's doing here. He's on this list for what he did right before this, which was to take a look at all his friends as they geared up for the protest -- strapping on their gas masks, pocketing their eye wash, testing their tasers, and hefting their clubs - before solemnly reaching down and grabbing the one and only weapon he needed. Then he went to a riot armed with a tit.
Water Cannon Man
You knew he was coming.
You knew because he's an internet staple by now. You knew because everything about him -- from his Superman-stance, to his contemptuous sneer, to his kickin' Cable-knit sweater ensemble -- is the very embodiment of defiance. But mostly you knew he was coming because you can't even show pictures of injustice without Water Cannon Man mysteriously popping out of the ground to stare them down until they burst into flame. This image was taken in South Korea during the APEC protests in 2005, when thousands of union workers tried to storm a meeting of the Pacific Rim leaders to protest a bill that opened their rice markets to foreign powers. And before you go writing this man off as an isolated event -- some sort of temporary avatar of badass on Earth, acting alone and against all odds like the Korean John McClane -- you should probably watch the rest of the video:
If you don't have enough patience for the build-up, just skip ahead to the payoff at 2:06, when the farmers all band together, hurl their grapples into the gargantuan steel shipping containers that the police are hiding behind, and then pull them to the ground with their bare hands before throwing them into the god damn sea. You can even see what looks like a dry Water Cannon Man standing off to the side at 1:53. Which means that he either hadn't made his iconic stand yet, or far more likely, that his clothes were simply dried by the residual heat emanating outward from him when he Optic Blasted injustice in the dick.
You can buy Robert's book, Everything is Going to Kill Everybody: The Terrifyingly Real Ways the World Wants You Dead, or follow him on Twitter and Facebook or you can join him and FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE! He'll uh...he'll be in the back. Right behind you. Totally. All the way.

Lt. Dave Casto said damages will be handled through insurance for Spann's employer, Covenant Transport of Edinburgh, Indiana. Police caught up to Spann on Sixth Street where he was looking for a place to pull over. The impact caused a loud noise, which caught the attention of Family Video manager Ami DeMeo, who was near the street corner working on the landscaping. She said she got up and ran, worried that the truck was about to tip over. (Salem News photo by Mary Ann Greier)

Make the most of your me-time in the pool
Parents can often find themselves wondering what to do whilst their child is at a swimming lesson.
After you have assured yourself that your child is settled well in the lesson, do you catch up on emails, read the paper, chat with other parents? Or do you sit and daydream of a time when you can have a swim on your own without having to give dolphin rides to your kids?
If you've a bigger family, your kids may be swimming across different session times, so you might end up sitting around on poolside for an hour or more.
Why not make the most of that golden pocket of me-time and put that dream into action? Some leisure centres have more than one pool which means you could dive in at the same time and have yourself a stress free workout. Even smaller centres with one pool sometimes cordon off lanes for leisure swimmers, so make the most of it.
Swimming is the perfect way to stay in shape. If you don't fancy the gym and running doesn't fill you with enthusiasm, swimming at the same time as your child's lessons could be a great way of keeping fit. You can even sign up to a Swimfit programme if you are looking for some structure to your sessions.
Register for a Swimfit Programme
Although over 3 million people in England swim at least once a week, swimming laps is not going to be for everyone. There are absolutely loads of classes which involve getting in the pool and doing a bit of physical activity. In pool classes like Aqua Aerobics, Aqua Zumba and many more are offered at leisure centres across the country, so if the local leisure centre does have more than one pool, you might even be able to slip off for a bit of a boogie.
Your leisure centre should have details of any in-pool activities they offer, so ask someone next time you're in. One of the most common excuses for not being physically active is a lack of time, but this is the perfect way to make some time for exercise, plus swimming a few laps, doing Aerobics or Zumba in a pool removes the strain off your joints and skeleton, and helps to stop you getting too hot and sweaty. Exercise like swimming can also help with de-stressing, something everyone with kids could use a bit of!
"Doing Aerobics or Zumba in a pool removes the strain off your joints and skeleton"
In some cases you might already have a pretty intense exercise regime in place without adding to it on the days your child is learning to swim. In this instance there is nothing wrong with simply pulling up a chair and relaxing with a good book. Many people complain they cannot find time for reading and this could be the perfect opportunity.
It might be wise to make the most of the peace and quiet whilst you have it...
If you already have a real passion for swimming then there is no reason why you shouldn't look into training to teach or coach swimming. Many parents who are already in training use the time to get their head down and do some swotting for their qualification. Details of courses can be found on the Institute of Swimming website www.theiosonline.com.

on November 11, 2012 - 1:24 PM
Hundreds of people gathered in Alden this Veterans Day for an observance like no other.
They were there to honor Sgt. Brett E. Gornewicz, an Army reservist who was among three soldiers killed when a roadside bomb exploded in Afghanistan on Nov. 3. His flag-draped coffin returned to his hometown Sunday morning in a procession that started at Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
Traveling east along Broadway, the motorcade passed Virginia Drive, where Gornewicz grew up and his family still lives. Several people stood at the corner, American flags in hand.
The group included Maryclare Smith, a neighbor and longtime friend of Margaret Gornewicz, the 27-year-old soldier's mother.
"It's very sad," said Smith, whose eyes were red-rimmed and teary. "We're bringing him home."
Also there were Lynne and Ron Roberts. They live elsewhere in Alden, but Virginia Drive is part of Lynne's route as a mail carrier and she said the Gornewiczs are friends.
"We have all known their son for years," said Ron Roberts.
Farther east, Jessica Lesniak had parked along Four Rod Road and wrapped a flag around a utility pole. She had her dogs, Semper and Fi, with her.
"My dad and my fiance are both Marines," she said. "I heard the story on the news. I thought I should come out and give some support."
The crowd swelled inside the village, where a giant flag was suspended between fire trucks. People lined the median and south curb of the street.
It was shortly after 10 a.m. when the procession reached the village. Many in the crowd saluted or placed their right hands over their hearts as the hearse passed; several wiped tears from their faces.
The procession included dozens of motorcycles ridden by members of the Patriot Guard Riders, as well as police cars representing several agencies. It took approximately five minutes for the entire procession to pass, after which it doubled back to the Charles Meyer Funeral Home, where Gornewicz's wake was held Sunday.
A church bell tolled and a hush fell over the crowd as the coffin was removed from the hearse, then carried beneath a canopy of flags into the funeral home. The crowd remained for several minutes, and began to disperse only after members of Gornewicz's family were escorted away from the short walkway leading to the funeral home.

What Happens During External Beam Radiation Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer
For this treatment, you'll talk with a doctor who specializes in both cancer and radiation, called a radiation oncologist. This doctor will tell you what type of radiation you need, at what dose, and for how long. During your visit, ask what you can expect to feel during and after the treatment.
You can receive external beam radiation treatment (EBRT) as an outpatient. This means you'll get the treatment at a hospital or clinic, but you will not have to spend the night. Usually, you'll receive treatment five days a week. The treatment will continue for several weeks, depending on the type and dose of EBRT you need.
External radiation usually comes from a machine called a linear accelerator.
Types of EBRT
These are the three kinds of EBRT commonly used to treat pancreatic cancer:
Standard EBRT. This type of EBRT directs radiation at your pancreas from one direction. You lie on a table while the machine is placed over you. The experience is much like that of getting an X-ray, only it lasts longer. It takes about 30 minutes for the whole process. You will actually get radiation for only about five minutes of this time.
Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT). This type of EBRT directs radiation at your pancreas from several directions. Imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission tomography (PET), are used along with computers to develop a very specific location for aiming the radiation for treatment. 3D-CRT may be best for you if you have an advanced stage of cancer, meaning the cancer has spread. Some types of 3D-CRT use higher doses of radiation for shorter periods of time. Other types use protons instead of regular photon radiation. Both of these variations reduce the damage to healthy tissue. Each treatment only lasts a few minutes.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). This is a high-precision type of radiation. It uses a computer to control the strength (intensity) and shape of X-rays to precisely deliver radiation to a tumor. This type of therapy minimizes the radiation exposure to surrounding normal tissues.
Preparing for external radiation
Before your first radiation treatment, you'll have an appointment to plan exactly where on your body the radiation beam needs to be directed. This process is called simulation. The appointment may take up to two hours. Here's what you can expect to happen during simulation:
You'll lie still on a table while a radiation therapist uses a machine to define your treatment fields. These are also called treatment ports. The field is the exact area on your body where the radiation will be aimed. The therapist marks your skin with tiny dots of colored permanent ink tattoos. Radiation will be aimed at the exact same place each time.
You may also have imaging scans, such as CT. These scans help the radiation oncologist know the exact location of your tumor to better aim the radiation.
If you're having 3D-CRT, you may need to have a plastic mold of your body made to help you lie still during the treatment.

NRA Splits With Open Carry Texas Amid Chipotle Beef
The National Rifle Association has another fight on its hands – and this time it is calling out a fellow gun-rights group for being too extreme.
The NRA on Friday posted a 1,400-word unsigned column urging a group called Open Carry Texas to lay off its publicity stunts during which owners of large rifles tote them near and inside stores and restaurants. The nation's largest gun-rights organization called the carrying of large rifles in public spaces "downright weird" and said the Texas group puts all gun owners' rights at risk with their actions.
Here's a sample of what the NRA had to say (italics in the original):
Now we love AR-15s and AKs as much as anybody, and we know that these sorts of semiautomatic carbines are among the most popular, fastest selling firearms in America today. Texas, independent-minded and liberty-loving place that it is, doesn't ban the carrying of loaded long guns in public, nor does it require a permit for this activity. Yet some so-called firearm advocates seem determined to change this.
Recently, demonstrators have been showing up in various public places, including coffee shops and fast food restaurants, openly toting a variety of tactical long guns. Unlicensed open carry of handguns is legal in about half the U.S. states, and it is relatively common and uncontroversial in some places.
Yet while unlicensed open carry of long guns is also typically legal in most places, it is a rare sight to see someone sidle up next to you in line for lunch with a 7.62 rifle slung across his chest, much less a whole gaggle of folks descending on the same public venue with similar arms.
Let's not mince words, not only is it rare, it's downright weird and certainly not a practical way to go normally about your business while being prepared to defend yourself. To those who are not acquainted with the dubious practice of using public displays of firearms as a means to draw attention to oneself or one's cause, it can be downright scary. It makes folks who might normally be perfectly open-minded about firearms feel uncomfortable and question the motives of pro-gun advocates.
The NRA's statement doesn't mention the Texas group by name, but Open Carry Texas has become the target of former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg's gun control groups, which have used its images as part of a successful campaign to pressure chains like Starbucks and Chiptole to ban or discourage the carrying of guns in their stores. Chipotle last month asked customers not to bring guns into stories, following a guns-rights demonstration at one of its stores near Dallas.
Just this weekend the Dallas Morning News published a photograph from the rally of a woman holding 10-month-old twins in her arms with a rifle strapped over her shoulder. It's that sort of imagery the NRA has deemed unhelpful.

"Using guns merely to draw attention to yourself in public not only defies common sense, it shows a lack of consideration and manners," the NRA wrote. "That's not the Texas way. And that's certainly not the NRA way."
Open Carry Texas on Monday slammed the NRA, saying the NRA devotes "lip service" to the pro-gun cause without following through.
"The NRA has refused to learn for themselves how Open Carry Texas conducts itself other than what the liberal media and Bloomberg funded gun control extremists have falsely portrayed," Open Carry Texas posted to its Facebook page. "The more the NRA continues to divide its members by attacking some aspects of gun rights instead of supporting all gun rights, the more support it will lose."
The NRA's squabble with the Texas open carry group comes after the NRA has shown itself in recent months willing to negotiate with its sworn nemesis, Mr. Bloomberg's gun control groups, and didn't oppose legislation in Louisiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Washington state that prevents some people with domestic violence convictions from legally buying guns.
The NRA's plea to cool it with the large guns comes after Mr. Bloomberg group's campaigns served to bait some the open carry groups into showing up en masse with rifles strapped to their backs – legal but not necessarily great for business.
"It was really noteworthy in it's the first time they've come out and said we're not sure you should carry guns everywhere," said Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, Bloomberg's grass-roots gun control group.
NRA officials didn't respond to requests for comment about its commentary. But Larry Pratt, the executive director of Gun Owners of America, a smaller gun-rights group that tends to be less flexible than the NRA, said toting large weapons into public spaces isn't helpful to the cause.
"We're trying to educate the public and I think using things that will be winsome is the best way to go about it," Mr. Pratt said. "I see open carry as a positive thing and I think if people are interested in educating the public they ought to consider what's the most effective way to educate the public."

Kate Upton: I'd Love to Go to the Prom, But ...
To be sure, of all the invitations that Kate Upton has received in the past year, none has been more memorable than the Los Angeles teen's playful video asking her to the prom.
"It was so flattering," Upton, 20, tells PEOPLE. "The video was so cute, and I really appreciated it. There was something about it that I knew I had to respond."
And good news for Davidson: he displayed a character trait that Upton likes.
"When a guy has a good sense of humor and confidence, that's attractive," she says. "This video was creative and funny. It made me laugh, and everyone loves a good laugh!
But … with modeling, acting and charitable obligations on the horizon, Upton says that her schedule is packed for May, the month of Davidson's prom.
"I'm not sure if I'll be able to go with him or not, due to my schedule," she says. "I want to, but I just don't know if I can make it work. But I really appreciated being asked; it made me feel really great!"
If she were to ultimately accept his invitation, Upton would have to go shopping.
"I feel like the best part of prom is picking out the dress, it's probably not actually the dance itself," she says. "I wore a very simple dress to my own prom; you don't want [to wear] something you'll regret. It was purple, and I loved it. And that was the best part of the whole thing! As for the prom itself, I don't remember it being anything more than any other school dance."
On Friday, Upton showed how full her schedule is. She spent the morning at the Arnold Palmer Medical Center, touring the facilities and meeting ill children in the Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders. After meeting with cancer patients – including a very excited teenage boy – she told PEOPLE about the perspective she's learned.
"I'm a model," she says. "I don't cure cancer like these doctors do. So I need to use what I have to give back," she says. "There is no question that I have been blessed – incredibly blessed – and I want to find ways to help others. I'm open to doing any sort of charity work, but I have a special place in my heart for children and animals."

Corbett's block grant program deserves a full examination
February 21, 2013
Gov. Tom Corbett's budget proposal includes a $1 billion block grant program from privatization of the liquor store system and a 1.7 percent increase in the basic education subsidy....
With the economy adversely affecting taxpayer's pocketbooks, why would schools even THINK about starting NEW programs? Isn't the cost of health benefits going up every year, and the burden of retirements quite enough?

"After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on Two and a Half Men effective immediately," Warner Bros. says in a statement.
His firing places the future of the hit CBS sitcom in doubt. The network declined to comment, but one source close to the show says, "no decision has been made" about whether to continue with a new lead or to cancel it all together.
Sheen reacted by calling his firing "very good news" and ripping his boss, co-creator Chuck Lorre, with a colorful expletive.
"They continue to be in breach, like so many whales," the actor says in a statement. "It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at [expletive] again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."
Two and a Half Men, which costars Jon Cryer, went on hiatus after Sheen, 45, started lambasting Lorre in a string of bizarre interviews.
Firing Called "Absurd and Ridiculous""We feel their termination of Charlie Sheen is absurd and ridiculous," says the actor's lawyer, Marty Singer, who sees a double standard in the way producers responded to Sheen's 2010 domestic violence case and his behavior in the last few weeks.
"The fact is, during Mr. Sheen's recent criminal case in Aspen, Colo., the studio was willing to have him plead to a felony and still take him back while charges were pending against him," says Singer. "Yet in this case, all my client did was make alleged disparaging remarks about Chuck Lorre. We feel this is nothing more than Lorre flexing his muscles and we intend to respond accordingly."
Lorre had no comment.
Last year, Sheen returned to the Two and a Half Men set after pleading not guilty to a felony menacing charge as a result of a fight with wife Brooke Mueller. He later reached a deal pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault and undergoing 30 days of rehab.

Marc Anthony is so enthusiastic about becoming a minority partner in the NFL's Miami Dolphins that he's bought a new home in Miami.
"I bought a condo today in Miami," Anthony, 40, told PEOPLE Monday night during halftime of the Miami Dolphins vs. Indianapolis Colts football game at Miami's Landshark Stadium. "When we are through decorating the condo, it will be the sexiest place in town!"
Anthony and wife Jennifer Lopez's new pad is in the Icon Brickell, a new, three-tower condominium designed by Philippe Starck. The stunning complex, which includes the Viceroy Miami Hotel, is near Miami's downtown and financial district, just a few minutes from South Beach.
In April, Anthony and Lopez, 40, spent a weekend with their children at Viceroy Miami and Icon Brickell, after Anthony's concert in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in nearby Hollywood, Fla.
The couple met with the Icon Brickell's developer Jorge Perez and got a personal tour of several condos. Though they looked at other Miami-area condo buildings, they decided on this one.
"We are not selling our homes in New York or Los Angeles, we are just adding Miami," Anthony tells PEOPLE. "Now that I am involved with the Dolphins, I am busy working and see a different set of stresses than I experience being a father. So I want to be close by. And we love Miami."

I'm Jeff Serowik. Welcome to Pro Ambitions Hockey. My vision for teaching the youth of the nation hockey came to me as a senior at Providence College. It's funny to me thinking back now I was still a youth myself when officially starting my professional hockey career as a junior at Lawrence Academy. In 1985 I was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs. I then went on to play 4 years of D1 hockey for Providence. After graduation that summer I trained for my first pro training camp. It was that same summer that Pro Ambitions Hockey was born.
Pro Ambitions Hockey, Inc. is now celebrating 22 years in business. Former NHL player Jeff Serowik is the founder and president. Training the future of hockey is our business. We specialize in youth boys and girls hockey camps targeting players from six to eighteen years of age. North American day camp locations and eight world renowned boarding camps /residential camps at the prestigious hockey mecca-Boston University, the majestic New England Prep School in Maine-The Kents Hill School, the beautiful Mountain Creek Resort in Vernon NJ, the state of the art University of Rhode Island facility, South Lake Tahoe, California, and Shattuck St. Mary's, Fairbault MN. We also offer private hockey lessons at several locations in the Boston area.
Pro Ambitions Hockey now runs camps throughout the United States of America as well as Canada. We draw hockey players from around the world including Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America. We have skaters flying in from Germany, England, France, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic as well as, Russia, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates.
