Hey guys,How are you? Thanks for your votes!I hope you're all having a better week than I am. I've been feeling under the weather and my back's been acting up the past week. I think it's just wear and tear. It's just that part of the season when it all starts to catch up to you and the show is getting tougher with multiple dances. I'm taking care of it. I feel confident it'll be OK. I was hurting Monday, but adrenaline got ...

At noon on Monday, snowboarder Mark Bauhs, 15, was eight feet above the snow after launching off a jump in the Boreal terrain park. Seconds later, he was back on the snow in a lot of pain - the result of a bad landing that left him with a fractured radius in his forearm and a lot of explaining to do to his volleyball coach.
Two hours later, his became the first signature to go up on the Tahoe Forest Hospital's 2003-04 Wrist Fracture Hall of Fame.
Bauhs, a Junior Olympic-caliber volleyball player from the Bay area, was on a trip with his club volleyball team to play a tournament in Sacramento. After the tournament, members of the team decided to drive up to Boreal for a couple of days of snowboarding, even though their coach was not pleased with the idea.
"He will be thoroughly pissed," Bauhs said about his volleyball coach.
Fortunately, Bauhs' injury happened in one of the best places in the world for treatment of all types of fractures. The staff at the hospital's emergency room see more than 1,000 wrist fractures each year, a volume that ensures they have a lot of experience dealing with those types of injuries.
The sheer number of wrist fractures seen by staff at the ER has prompted them to put up a large banner each year that they call the Wrist Fracture Hall of Fame. Last year, every inch of the banner was covered with signatures by the end of the winter sports season, and doctors expect the same result this year.
"Wrist fractures are the number one reason for coming to the ER," registered nurse Jeff Jackson said.
And more than 90 percent of wrist injuries happen to snowboarders.
According to Jackson, the record number of wrist fractures in one day was 38. "We had them all lined up in the hall, with three in the room getting treated, just cycling through. We went through three boxes of splinting material that day."
Jackson claims it was the extraordinarily hard and icy conditions on that day that contributed to all the injuries. "Every time a snowboarder went down that day, they broke something," Jackson said.
While Bauhs will need just six weeks to recover from his injury, ER physicians and nurses see a lot of more serious fractures and other orthopedic injuries every winter season.
"With volume comes technique," said Bev Brink, nursing director of the hospital's Emergency Department. "We cause our patients a lot less pain than hospitals that don't see as many."

Four area counties formed a coalition Friday with the collective goal of improving SR 53.
Elected officials from Seneca, Sandusky, Wyandot and Ottawa counties, as well as mayors from Tiffin and Upper Sandusky, attended a meeting facilitated by North Central Ohio Council of Governments.
Rich Focht of Seneca Industrial and Economic Development Corp. said the meeting was intended to form a plan to help improve the highways in the four counties.
"This is not a short-term proposition. This is something that's going to take commitment from all of us in our respective counties," Focht said.
Seneca County Commissioner Fred Zoeller said the coalition is a "win-win" for all the involved counties.
"If we can move traffic coming down 53, you're going to have more business in Sandusky County, you're going to have more business in Ottawa County, you're going to have more business in Seneca County," Zoeller said. "Everybody's a winner in this whole situation."
He said forming the coalition will give the counties more strength when dealing with the state government.
Zoeller said Gov. John Kasich helped facilitate a meeting with Ohio Department of Transportation Director Jerry Wray earlier this week.
He said Wray was receptive to a plan presented by Zoeller, Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz and NCORcog Director John Davoli.
Zoeller said the state is going to do a study on what should be done with SR 53, but in order to get the study, the county needs to raise some matching funds.
He also said Wray said there are 60 ways to get state funding to improve SR 53, in addition to turnpike money.
He said some of these ways do not involve the TRAC program, which Seneca County does not fare well in due to its smaller population.
Montz said the meeting with Wray was an "eye opener."
He said it is important for the four counties to work together to continue to get the state government's attention.
"Hopefully, this is the first of many meetings because, together, we're going to get a lot more done," Montz said.
Ottawa County Commissioner Steve Arndt said he does not agree with having to raise local money for a study because he has seen many studies done with no follow-up on actual projects.
"I think your issue of having a coalition together is a good one," Arndt said. "But what I'm seeing the needs for in Seneca County, the only way you're going to fund that is going through TRAC."
He said Ottawa County had a similar project with SR 2, and while there were some improvements made for safety, the project was not completed.
"I wish I had a better feeling that even after the study was completed that it would be built," Arndt said.
During the meeting, Seneca County Engineer Mark Zimmerman gave a presentation of the SR 53 and explained the importance of having a bypass around Tiffin so SR 53 would not have to go through the city.
Zimmerman also said improving a specific part of a highway "is a waste of taxpayer dollars" and that the focus should be on improving the entire corridor, which would benefit all the counties.
"We go to Columbus as a coalition, we go with great strength," he said.
Local business owners Lenny Clouse and Bill Reineke also spoke in support of the coalition and the project to improve SR 53.

Prosecutors have charged a 22-year-old Lee's Summit man with rape after accusations of an attack on a 13-year-old girl.
Codey J. Everhart is charged with one count of forcible rape and two counts of first-degree statutory rape.
According to court records, the accuser said Everhart is a neighbor. She told police she let him into her home to use the restroom and he attacked her and raped her.
Police said Everhart told them he went to the house with the intention of having sex with the girl but didn't complete the act. Police said he sent a text to the victim's mother to say he was sorry.
Prosecutors asked that Everhart's bail be set at $250,000 cash.

More than 5,000 runners Sunday joined the Urban Cow Half Marathon at William Land Park in Sacramento to raise money for high school sports programs.
Race organizer and owner Rich Hanna said the event attracts runners ages 6 to 80 years old.
The race was formally known as Cowtown Marathon, but Hanna told KCRA 3 they had to change the name after another city in Texas claimed it.
After a national name contest, the race is now known in Sacramento as Urban Cow Half Marathon.
All funds raised will be given to dozens of running programs at high schools in the Sacramento area.

Mortgage Fraud Schemer Convicted
Getlan found guilty of defrauding Maryland homeowners
BALTIMORE, MD (September 6, 2012) Rodney Getlan, age 45, of Owings Mills, entered a guilty plea to nine counts of mortgage fraud and faces up to 90 years in prison. Pursuant to the plea, the State is requesting 40 years with 10 years suspended and 30 years of incarceration to serve as well as restitution to all 48 known victims in the area of $400,000. Judge Ballou-Watts scheduled sentencing for December 3, 2012. Getlan was charged earlier this year with felony theft, operating as a credit service business without a license, mortgage fraud, and related charges. An investigation by the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing & Regulations (DLLR) Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation and the Baltimore County Police Department led to Getlans arrest in March for defrauding homeowners of considerable upfront fees for mortgage modifications and stealing their monthly mortgage payments.
The guilty finding is a victory for Maryland consumers, said Maryland Labor, Licensing & Regulation Interim Secretary Scott R. Jensen. Commissioner Mark Kaufman and the entire Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation work tirelessly to protect our most vulnerable neighbors from predatory practices. I am proud of the efforts of the Division of Financial Regulation in this case and want to thank the Baltimore County States Attorneys Office and the Baltimore County Police Department for their partnership in this successful criminal prosecution.
This case underscores our commitment to protecting Maryland homeowners and sends a message that these types of scams, which prey on our most vulnerable citizens, will not be tolerated, said Mark Kaufman, Commissioner of Financial Regulation. I applaud the cooperative efforts of our team and our colleagues in the Baltimore County Police Department and States Attorneys Office without whom none of this would have been possible.
"After a long nightmare, Getlan's 48 victims now have some measure of closure with him being found guilty. The State, along with the victims, will patiently wait until sentencing to see that justice is done," said Assistant States Attorney Adam Lippe.
The investigation into Getlans activities involved Investigator A. Thomas Koehler of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation and Detective Dave Donnelly of the Baltimore County Police Departments Financial Crimes Unit. In addition, Erin McCarthy Naylor, Director of Mortgage Fraud for the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, and Assistant States Attorney Adam Lippe, Chief of the Economic Crimes Unit, have partnered in the investigation and prosecution of this complex case. Ms. Naylor was sworn in as a Special Assistant States Attorney to assist in the prosecution. She joined the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation in 2011 through a Department of Justice Grant and is responsible for creating and implementing a mortgage fraud outreach program as well as leading efforts to enhance criminal prosecution statewide.
Getlans 46-count charging document stated that Getlan offered loan modification services from January 2009 through January 2012. The charges specifically referred to nine separate homeowners who fell victim to Getlans scheme, in which he forged documents to support his claim that lenders of the homeowners had approved their loan modifications. Homeowners believed that their monthly payments were going to their lenders; however, the investigation determined that Getlan deposited those payments into his own accounts.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

In a video making headlines, while McGraw performed "Truck Yeah," an overzealous fan can be seen reaching out and grabbing Tim's pant leg – hard. In response, McGraw appears to slap back at her.
"At the end of the night during the encore, Tim was singing out in the audience and someone firmly grabbed onto his leg and wouldn't let go as he was moving through the crowd," a rep for McGraw tells PEOPLE Country.
"He instinctively swatted to try and keep them from ripping his jeans (which they succeeded at doing!), and so he could get to more fans who were trying to slap hands with him before the end of the show. He didn't know who had grabbed him and was simply trying to keep his pants from being torn."
Afterwards, McGraw appears visibly shaken and angry, and a security guard escorts the fan away from the stage area.

We all have our hopes, aspirations and dreams. Maybe Jobs and co could make these ones come true. How about it, Steve?
1. Ping 2
You know it, we know it. Ping, as seen in iTunes 10, sucks. We want you to throw it open to your rivals so we can integrate stuff like our Last.fm playlists and Facebook friends and we want them to be easy to find without having send invites using Mail or trying to search for them manually.
It'd be really handy if it recognised our existing music libraries, not just the stuff we've bought from the iTunes Store. That's not such a big ask, is it?
2. iPhone 5
It's all very well pointing your finger at your rivals and castigating them for the performance of their smartphone antennas. But we expect Apple to be better than that. Next time do a proper job, put function over form for once and give us the smartphone we deserve.
We'll thank you for it by flashing our plastic / selling our kids for scientific experiments for the next one. At the very least sell us a foot long rubbery antenna we can screw into the top. Oh, and user replaceable batteries, pleeeeassee?
You'll have to speak up, I'm using an iPhone 4. Yes, Apple's upgraded my bumper to an anechoic chamber. No, it's gone again. Useless thing
3. iLife 11 / iWork 11
We know it come free with all new Macs and costs a pittance to everyone else, but iLife could really do with an update. Roll Aperture into iPhoto, sort iMovie out so you don't need a degree in metaphysical brain surgery to figure out how to use it and turn iWeb into a proper Wordpress / RapidWeaver rival that isn't limited to MobileMe subscribers and doesn't make you want to cry on the shoulder of the nearest SEO expert.
Anything else? GarageBand. Can you sort it so all the records in the charts don't sound like they were made using GarageBand? As for iWork 11, Pages and Keynote we can live with, but Numbers? We don't know where to start. Or how. A little help?
4. MobileMe
One more thing: please make it good and worth our hard-earned cash. The end.
It looks nice and everything, but we'd really, really wish MobileMe had a bit more oomph. And didn't cost quite so much. There are free plenty of alternatives, you know
5. Mac OS X 10.7
Firstly, ditch the big cat metaphors and plump for something properly inspiring. Like the names of X Factor winners. Our lords and masters in the banking industry. Or the Dark Lords of the Sith.
Secondly, we want a proper Minority Report-ish, fingers-in-the air style holographic user interface that makes wooshing noises (a bit the like the aeroplane noise when you send an email in Mail, but cooler) and a Finder that doesn't suck. We'd settle for a Finder that doesn't suck. Your call.
Mac OS X: the next version has to be in holographic 3D
6. Apple TV 3 / 4 / 5, whatever
We know what you're trying to do and we commend you for it. But it really doesn't have to be that hard. Take a big hard disk, a Blu-ray player / recorder, some PVR functionality and a Freeview HD tuner, stick it in and beautiful box and we'll buy it in droves.
Team it with your expertise in UI interfaces and make it cheap and simple enough for our grannies to use it. They'll be the first ones to queue up for one. Especially if we tell lie and tell them they're getting a free sample of Werther's Originals or something.
7. An Apple credit card / customer loyalty scheme
Every time we visit either a physical or virtual store and spend money, we gets points that turn into pounds that can go towards our next Apple purchase. We'll be locked into buying ever more stuff from you, but that's OK because we're fanbois and we just can't help ourselves.
You could even offer exclusive competitions and prizes. Like a night out with worldwide marketing VP Phil Schiller. Second prize, two nights out…
Hello Sir. New Mac Pro, is it? Have you tried our new Apple Credit Card? You'll get 1 point for every thousand pounds you spend. And we'll charge you punitive rates of interest. You'll sign? Lovely
8. Unbundle iOS
We know you don't want to. We know it's about the synergy between the hardware and the software, yada, yada, yada. We don't care. Don't make the mistake you made last time around in the 1980s and let Microsoft or Google get all the glory.
You'll make a mint and anyone who uses anything from a Mac Pro to a cash machine will benefit. Heck, you could even use PDQ terminals with an iOS UI in your shops. How cool would that be?

It's hard to believe fall already is here. There's a cool chill in the air and summer seems like a distant memory.
So, too, does the late-June derecho that devastated our area and caused wide-sweeping power outages in its wake.
However, now is the perfect time to remember this weather-related disaster. In fact, it should be foremost in our minds as September is National Preparedness Month.
Let's be honest: Many in the community - including government and other support agencies - were not well-prepared for the magnitude of storm that hit. Nor were they prepared for the extensive time it took to get power restored to the masses. As a result, many situations could and should have been handled differently, and dare we say better.
The seriousness of the situation and resulting fallout should have been an eye-opener for all concerned, but it's amazing how quickly one can forget what it feels like to be caught unprepared. That's why we would be remiss if we let this month pass without reminding everyone of the importance of having an emergency plan in place, supplies on hand and information at the ready should a disaster strike.
Like the derecho, emergencies usually occur with very little warning. They can sweep in and knock you down if you aren't careful. Don't get caught in the eye of the storm of crisis. The way to best prevent that is to prepare.

Our days have been full. Waking much too early and heads hitting the pillow very late. We go to the park almost every day. Yesterday we were the only ones there. I spread out a blanket and we looked for four leaf clovers and ate graham crackers. Ivy went down all the slides (with Noah at the bottom to catch) and I even went down one with her. Carter got his football stuck in a tree. I later dug a piece of that football out of Ivy's mouth.
Today I promised to take them to a park we pass on the way to our regular playground and they always beg to go to but it's super crowded and has a lot of blind spots.
I realized yesterday that I am that Mom that tells the kids not to yell at the park. And no running! (at the park.) And be careful this and watch out that.
I'm working on it, because, for real, kids should be able to be loud and run and act like wild animals outside.
And so we're going to the park today where I might not be able to see them everysinglesecond and they might run and shout and who wants a Mother who's a constant error message? She's so annoying.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Nov. 6, 2012
Abby Brentzel of Irwin, a senior finance major at Saint Vincent College, will return to the U.S. on Dec. 18 after a four-month internship with the Bayer Corporation in Shanghai, China. The recipient of a Freeman Asia Scholarship for foreign travel, Ms. Brentzel completed an internship with Bayer MaterialScience in Pittsburgh last summer. In July, Michael Burns, her internship manager at Bayer, and John Lemex, the CFO of Bayer MaterialScience North America, helped her arrange to continue her internship in Shanghai in the fall. Her office is located in the City Group Tower in downtown Shanghai. In addition to her work with Bayer, she is also taking classes at Shanghai University where she is also living. Her courses include Chinese language, Chinese calligraphy, Tai Chi and Xi'an field study. In addition to her work and study, she is also finding time to do some leisure travel in the Forbidden City in Beijing. "Today it is more of a tourist destination but at one time served as the home for the emperors and their families from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty," she explained. "It also was the political and ceremonial center of government for quite some time." In Shanghai she enjoyed a visit to the Yuyuan Garden or garden of peace and happiness. "The garden covers more than five acres of downtown Shanghai and was intended to be a peaceful place for the original owner's father," she said. "It was finished years later after passing through many different owners. To this day it is one of the biggest and most prestigious gardens in Shanghai." She was excited to have a visit by Elizabeth Bennellick, director of Saint Vincent College's study abroad program, and to join her one day at a large college fair to assist in the recruitment of Chinese students as part of the college's multifaceted marketing program designed to increase the enrollment of undergraduate students from mainland China. Prior to her departure, she admitted to being excited though a little nervous about the two and half-day trip to China. Her previous travel experience includes trips to Italy and the Bahamas. A transfer student from another area college, she became interested in going to China after meeting Dr. Gary M. Quinlivan, dean of the Alex G. McKenna School of Business, Economics and Government in the summer of 2011. "He encouraged me to enroll in the Chinese language course," she recalled. "And, later Elizabeth Bennellick, coordinator of study abroad programs at Saint Vincent, came into our class with a representative from a Chinese university. That's how it all got started. But, there's no denying the future of business relations with China. I know I am on the right track to success." After she graduates in December 2013, she plans to seek professional employment in the Pittsburgh area similar to the work she did in the controller group at Bayer. She will be returning to Bayer MaterialScience in Pittsburgh over Christmas break and next summer. A commuter student at Saint Vincent, she has worked for two years at the Redstone Highlands in Murrysville as a dining service aide. Her favorite class at Saint Vincent was statistics taught by Dr. Peter Hutchinson, professor of economics. "He has a great teaching format," she noted. "Abby is an engaging, serious and highly-motivated young professional," Dr. Hutchinson commented. "I have utmost confidence in her making the most of her study in China to broaden her world view and to enhance her overall educational experience." "In addition to her course work at the Alex G. McKenna School of Business, Economics and Government, Abby has also been active in several co-curricular activities at Saint Vincent," Dr. Hutchinson added. "She served as treasurer of the Finance Club and is active in the Women in Business Club."

Sports trash talk from the early 1990s, first coined in the movie "White Men Can't Jump". Used to intimidate opponents by implying that those who "goin' Sizzler" had already won the game and were planning to celebrate at Sizzler Steakhouse. Often, and as in White Men Can't Jump, the statement "we goin' sizzler" was known to backfire.
12 year old Little Leaguer whose team was up by 1 run late in the game, and who got to see an R-rated movie (White Men Can't Jump) and thought he was cool: "We Goin' Sizzler, We Goin' Sizzler!"
Other team scores 2 runs.
Aformentioned 12 year old: <Silence>

Project managers went all out when they designed Wescott Park.
This summer people living in the Wescott Plantation area, as well as baseball and softball families from around the state, are getting introduced to the area's newest sports complex/park.
Years ago the City of North Charleston set out to create a park suited to host high-level baseball/softball tournaments that would also serve the general community. The plans all came to fruition this month as the city opened Wescott Park, located off Dorchester Road between Wescott Blvd. and Ashley Phosphate Road.
The park's athletic facilities have multiple features that set them apart from some of the other facilities in the area.
The three baseball/softball fields at the park are miniature models of Major League Baseball parks located in the cities of Atlanta, Boston and San Francisco. The park's Boston Field includes a miniature version of the legendary "Green Monster" wall in left field and Atlanta Field includes a silhouette backdrop of that city's skyline.
The dugouts are equipped with phones so that coaches can communicate with tournament officials in the press box. Concrete bleachers running down the first and third base lines are covered so that fans have shelter from the sun and rain.
Earlier this month the park hosted a Dixie Youth Softball state tournament and this week the park is hosting the 2013 South Carolina Dixie Youth Baseball AAA Minors (age 9-10) All-star Tournament. Both tournaments have attracted large crowds.
Nestled in between the fields is a children's playground, just one of the features designed to make the park appealing to the masses.
The other side of the park includes a Ripken Training Facility complete with batting cages, practice pitching mounds and a Ripken Training Circle. Patented by Cal and Bill Ripken, the Ripken Training Circle helps teams practice multiple skill sets in the same place, making practices more efficient. Bases for the circle are moveable so it is well suited for multiple age groups.
Wescott Park also includes an amphitheater for outdoor performances, green spaces and multi-purpose fields, walking trails through wetlands and a number of enclosed and open-air shelters suitable for a variety of community and family events.

Tragedy is when I get a hangnail" said Mel Brooks in one of the more illustrative apothegms of our era. "Comedy is when YOU walk into an open sewer and die."
That's the way I've always remembered Brooks' classic delineation since I first read it about six or seven presidents ago.
He says it, much less effectively, in reverse in Robert Trachtenberg's documentary "Mel Brooks: Make a Noise." Nor is that the only instance where a lifelong devoted scholar of Brooksiana (and you have to trust me, I'm all of that) will notice that Trachtenberg's solid (if stolid) PBS documentary contains a slightly lesser version of an immortal Brooks line that was a good deal better the first time around.
For instance, in this Brooksian version of his film-by-film saga of filming his second movie, "The 12 Chairs," Brooks says this about the local cuisine as they made it: "We ate wood. In Yugoslavia." The version I've always treasured – and much prefer – is this description of how terrible was the Yugoslavian food during shooting: "One day they served us fried chains."
Let us be kind and generous here: He has been so many people's nomination for the funniest man alive for so long – and such a national institution since he soared back into the highest level of American idolatry with his Tony-sweeping Broadway version of "The Producers" – that he has been poked and prodded and interviewed almost endlessly by Brooks worshippers. If he has begun to repeat himself on occasion – and to lesser effect the second time around – let us, by all means, give him the sympathetic understanding he deserves 12 times over.
Brooks will be 87 on June 28 and even a wildly fertile comic genius and improviser like Mel Brooks has to fall back on a familiar trope or two sometimes. That is especially true now that everyone and his brother-in-law Bobby seems to be in the "We love you Mel" Brooks interview business. Brooksian scholars should nevertheless, by all means, not miss "Mel Brooks: Make a Noise" when it airs at 9 p.m. Monday on Channel 17 as part of PBS' "American Masters" series. It's heartily recommended to everyone else too for its happily large quotient of both frequent hilarity and revelation.
The title of Trachtenberg's portrait comes from Brooks' explanation of why he became a drummer when he was a teenage tummler in the Borscht Belt: "I think I became a drummer because you made the most noise." (A brilliant bit of insight from his lifelong friend and accomplice Carl Reiner: "He has rhythms in his head. His jokes are great structures of rhythm.")
Here, in line with that, is an anecdote from my own family from a slightly later period – mid-'50s – among predominantly Jewish guests at a Miami hotel. At an amazing lunch there was at a very large nearby table what seemed to be half the comedians from that era's television: Jack Carter, Buddy Hackett, and everyone on Sid Caesar's "Your Show of Shows:" Caesar, Howie Morris, Carl Reiner. The laughter from that table was huge and constant. And it was all occasioned by only two men cracking the others up – Hackett and, especially, a man utterly unknown to the rest of America at the time even though he was the unquestioned comic czar of the Sid Caesar Writer's Room. Everyone asked who that little man was that everyone else thought was so funny. "Mel Brooks," they were told by the restaurant staff.
"Mel Brooks: Make a Noise" is a portrait of Mel Brooks from a documentarian determined to entertain but at the same time take Brooks with utmost proper seriousness. Trachtenberg doesn't miss talking about a single film with him (some – "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" for instance – were decidedly missable). But he also reveals a lot more of the real texture of Brooks' not-always wonderful life than has been commonly seen elsewhere. During the years of Sid Caesar's weekly beauties, such was Brooks' anxiety at producing under the gun constantly that, says Brooks "I was puking between parked cars" on the street.
And too, there's a lot about his long relationship with his second wife Anne Bancroft, who died at the age of 73. She tells the camera that from the moment she met him "the man never left me alone – thank God." ("He looked like my father" she says. "He acted like my mother.")
In the ancient jazz musicians' distinction that separates great drummers from good ones, documentarian Trachtenberg doesn't really "swing" the way Brooks does but he certainly "keeps good time" in his watchable Brooks portrait.
In his mid-80s, Brooks' self-defensive memory understandably gets a few things a bit wrong. His memory, now, is of getting a wholly bad review from the New York Times for his first film as writer-director, the classic "The Producers." If you reread Renata Adler's ultra-shrewd review of the film, she calls it "a violently mixed bag. Some of it is shoddy and gross and cruel; the rest is funny in an entirely unexpected way." Adler is hard on "The Producers" star Zero Mostel (so, in recollection, is Brooks) but thinks Gene Wilder is "wonderful." (So does Brooks: "Everything Gene did was angelic and brilliant.") And, bless Adler, she was smart enough to tell Times readers that "the first act of 'Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp with Adolf and Eva in Berchtesgarden' is the funniest part of this fantastically uneven movie."
It's hard not to enjoy everyone who practically lined up to be filmed in the act of loving Mel Brooks: Joan Rivers (who confides that his intellectualism surprises people; later, Brooks correctly uses the word "verisimilitudinous" in passing), Carl Reiner, Rob Reiner, Barry Levinson, Neil Simon, Tracey Ullman ("Mel Brooks loves women" she says, unlike so many comedians and comedy directors), Richard Benjamin, Richard Lewis, his Broadway "Producers" director Susan Stroman. And how can you resist a Brooks portrait as replete as this one is with clips from Brooks' own films and the films about him? (One from 1981 was memorably called "I Thought I Was Taller.")
When Brooks in fact won an Oscar for Best Screenplay for "The Producers," he gave one of the great acceptance speeches. He began by saying "I want to thank the Motion Picture Academy of Arts, Sciences and Money." He ended by telling his peers "I want to say what's in my heart. (Pause). Ba-BUMP, Ba-BUMP, Ba-BUMP."
I dearly wish that as long as Trachtenberg was determined to be thorough, he'd have given us more about the pre-"Producers" period when Brooks was the darling of New York City's comic intelligentsia – the voice on Ernest Pintoff's Oscar-winning short "The Critic" and the improv master Madison Avenue loved to pair up with the ultra-American Dick Cavett. (Bic's new pen, said Brooks, was called the Bic Banana and not the Bic Prune because prunes, as everyone knows, are "wrinkled and dopey.")
Mel Brooks' final message to us during the closing credits of PBS' portrait? Eat plenty of citrus fruit. It tastes sweet. And once it goes into your stomach "it knows what to do."

LISBON - Cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence. That's what Lisbon native Julie Cole proved after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in December of 2008.
Her battle with breast cancer has turned the corner and led her to new relationships she may otherwise not have had.
"I always say it's one of the best things that can happen to you, but it's awful," Cole said. "God Bless the parents and everyone, because when they were telling me I looked good, I didn't look good."
For 15 months, her life was virtually put on hold. A life that consisted of doctor's appointments, chemotherapy and running left little time for much else.
"When that was finally all over, I was going around the house cleaning stuff and it looked like I had been gone and came back from a vacation that was a year long," Cole said. "Life kind of stood still for a year and half."
Despite undergoing rigorous chemotherapy treatments, she still found time for her two passions: coaching and running.
"I am proud to say that I missed only one practice during the whole track season of 2009," Cole said. "I was the only bald female coach at the state meet that year. I have pretty short hair anyway. Everyone handles things differently, but it didn't bother me a all."
Cole said that while she was meeting with her doctors at the Cleveland Clinic, running and coaching were two things that she would not put on hold. Within a matter of days after her diagnosis she had a list of parents of kids on her team that would help from cooking to transportation to treatment.
"They were great, the parents because I knew them, but not that well. When they took me to treatments, we would sit and talk for however many hours long the treatment was," Cole said. "And it was nice in that regard. I have lifelong friends, and they have my back."
The hardest part for Cole wasn't undergoing treatment or losing her hair, but having to tell kids when she learned of her diagnosis.
"When I got sick, I didn't want them to be afraid. I wanted to be comfortable but at least not afraid" she said. "If they had questions for them to come and ask. So I think that part of it was good because hearing that word meant that you are going to die."
Cole, a positive person to begin with, never let her attitude waiver throughout her illness. Despite feeling tired one day while running with her team, there was no time to quit because running was such a strong part of her life.
"It was really windy that day and we were running straight into this wind and I made a comment as to how tired I was that day," Cole said. "One of the girls asked 'why are you out here?" and I said, 'This is what I do.'"
After surviving her bout with cancer, the 1979 Lisbon High School graduate was recently inducted into the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame. An inductee of the inaugural class at Lisbon David Anderson and Berkshire High Schools, where she coached, the OATCCC induction had a different feeling to it.
"The high school one's are great for my high school and for where I work, but that is kind of like being a big fish in a small pond," Cole said. "But this is pretty amazing that I've gone on the website and seen all of the past inductees. It's full of olympians and when I was running in high school I knew about them because all of the meets were named after them, So that was a good deal."
Coaching was a calling that Cole has had ever since she can remember. Her teams have qualified for multiple state meets in track and cross country, and many of her athletes have gone on to have successful collegiate careers as well.
"I'm assuming that that is why I was inducted, because my running wasn't very impressive," Cole said. "I think for whatever reason it's a blessing and I'm able to relate to the kids pretty well with my own experiences from high school and college give me some credibility with them. Once you get the ball rolling, no one really wants to be the class that screws up."
For Cole, the recognition is nice, but she is quick to point out that she didn't do it alone.
"It's nice to know that people notice what we do, but I don't think it was just me," Cole said. "Because it's 30 years of the parents and the kids and the community. It's a nice ongoing tradition."
To have the ability to make an impact in those kids lives is something that Cole reflects on with pride.
"I don't pretend that I had a role in their success in college and after high school," she said. "But I like to think that we instilled in them the values and the love of the sport at the high school level."
Through it all, running and coaching helped get her through that difficult period and gave her something to focus on and prepare for each day. That made dealing with an illness as serious as cancer a lighter burden.
"It wasn't tough," Cole said "Because I was doing the things that I love the most."

I think Mirai and Caroline may quit, as poor Jeremy. He's so done. Any other final skates we may have seen?
I think Mirai and Caroline may quit, as poor Jeremy. He's so done. Any other final skates we may have seen?
I don't think Mirai will quit, she'll probably stick it out for one more season at least as she's said that she wants to make the Olympic team.
I believe Alissa has also said she intends to come back next season after her injury heals.
Last edited by evangeline; 01-28-2013 at 12:26 AM.
Zhang seems determined. She will plug on for one more year atleast.
Mirai I think will stick it out for atleast 1 more year, and might continue longer depending on alot of factors.
Czisny I think will give one last try to the Olympics then retire, unless she does well enough she feels it is beneficial to come back 1 or 2 more years to try for a World medal/title vs a weakened field.
Abbott is not retiring yet. He is definitely going to try for Sochi. I dont think he will make it, but he will try.
Honestly very few would ever quit a year before the Olympics. I cant think of many who will. Johnny I think will quit, and Evan might well not show up and officialy retire.
As for internationals I think LaCoste might quit, but then again with likely atleast 2 Canadian spots to Sochi, it is too big a chance to pass up. She still has a chance to be 2nd at the Canadians with one of her better skates after all. I think Ando will officialy retire sometime before Sochi. I think Makarova will retire sometime before Sochi, and possibly Leonova as well. Plushenko might retire before Sochi if he senses it is too much to put his body through at this point (aka comes to his senses).
I don't see Makarova or Leonova retiring before Sochi. Why retire when the Olympics are only one year away?
I said this in another thread but I don't see why Mirai or Caroline would quit and don't believe either would this year regardless- more likely next year if it's coming. Really though, despite how the sport seems to be trying to spit people out, they could both easily have another 4 year cycle in them if they avoid injury. As I've said elsewhere, neither one is 20 yet.
Miki is not retiring, she is planning on returning next season with Mororzov again as her coach
The only potential retiree among those mentioned IMO is Caroline. Being realistic, she has absolutely no shot of making the Sochi team so there's no point in staying one more year. If she enjoys skating then perhaps she may stay beyond 2014 but it depends on what motivates her. As for the others, I agree with PF that with Sochi around the corner they would like to try and get on the Olympic team.
I think all the ones that are currently competing (except maybe Plushenko, for physical reasons) will stick around for one more year. Lacoste, as per her twitter, isn't giving up. The ones like Rachael Flatt, Johnny, and Evan, who aren't currently competing are ones we may see go.
When Buttle won worlds but quit before the Olympics it really didn't make sense to me so I wouldn't be surprise if one or two of these overlooked athletes quit.
This is just my opinion, but Jeff KNEW he had skated the skate of his life at Worlds that year and wanted to go out a winner. I don't think he would have won had he stayed for the Olympics. I have no clue who is going to retire. I know who I wish I didn't have to watch again. I know who I wish would just hang up their skates and stop punishing their bodies. Figure Skating is like any sport - when you train most of your life for something, do well but not maybe what your dream was, unless there is a definitive sport-ending injury - they never know when to quit. I really hate to see skaters (football players, baseball players, tennis players etc. etc. etc,) humiliate themselves and have their last memory of their sport be negative!

I would say it's roughly 3" give or take. The ones I've found on ebay are priced $200 - $900. Of course, the owner of this item has seen this fact and is insisting on at least $250. I'll do as she asks, although it will likely sit around for a looooong time. Thanks again!

One of Buffalo's most well-known housing organizations is preparing for its most ambitious project yet, with a goal of providing a warm, affordable place to live for dozens of lower-income West Side residents.
But as PUSH Buffalo beautifies a targeted 25-block area by buying up problem properties and making them attractive again, property values are on the rise, which makes pricing longtime residents out of the neighborhood a real risk.
"We've built these great houses, almost makes it look like we're stepping on our own toes," said Jen Mecozzi, PUSH's director of community organizing. "Building affordable housing that people can live in and be safe and feel warm and not have to pay crazy bills – now we might be the reason other people can't do that."
PUSH's mission is in its name – People United for Sustainable Housing – and the group is committed to helping people who already live on the West Side get into housing that is energy-efficient and affordable, while empowering people to create the neighborhoods they want, organizers said.
Ultimately, PUSH wants to make sure that people who have been living in the neighborhood can stay there, and the organization is building as affordably and sustainably as it can, said Jenifer Kaminsky, housing director of PUSH's Buffalo Neighborhood Stabilization Company.
PUSH is hardly alone in its efforts to improve the livability of the West Side for lower-income residents. And as several nonprofit organizations have focused on housing, businesses have invested in the commercial strips, which has made the area a more attractive place to live.
The Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors last year reported that home values on the West Side had risen dramatically in the last decade.
"There's nothing wrong with people making money off of real estate transactions, but our first concern is just regular working people in the neighborhood," said Lonnie Barlow, a PUSH member and community resident.
A large undertaking
As part of its $12.4 million Massachusetts Avenue Community Homes project, a much larger undertaking than anything it has done so far, PUSH is planning to build nine new structures and rehabilitate seven others. The project's 46 new units will be rented to people who earn between 40 and 60 percent of the area's median income, which is about $65,300.
The sites are within the organization's "Green Development Zone," a 25-block area centered on Massachusetts Avenue and bounded by Niagara Street, West Delavan Avenue, Richmond Avenue and Vermont Street.
The one-, two- and three-bedroom units will rent from about $385 to $525, similar to the rents of PUSH's 18 existing units. The new project includes one four-bedroom unit, and several units will be built to accommodate people with physical disabilities, including hearing and vision impairment.
PUSH has been buying up properties, such as 257 Massachusetts Ave., an imposing three-story structure with blond masonry, bay windows covered with boards, and concrete steps, which it purchased for $6,200 last year. In other cases, PUSH has reached development agreements with lot owners, such as the city.
The 26 parcels – some adjacent lots will be the site of a single new structure – were selected with community input. The neighborhood was canvassed, and residents were asked which properties they would like to see improved.
Part of the reason the scale of the project is so large is to accommodate as many people as possible, Mecozzi said, noting the growing interest in the neighborhood, which is causing property values to rise.
The project will be funded partly by the state's Homes and Community Renewal agency, partly from bank loans, and PUSH is hoping to get some money from the city. PUSH will apply for state funding in January and hopes to get started on the work in the fall. Before all of the grant applications can be made, the project's approvals from the city must be in place.
PUSH also purchased the long-shuttered Club Utica at the so-called "five points" intersection of Brayton, Rhode Island and West Utica streets.
Resident surveys showed a strong desire for retail businesses at the former country-western bar, so PUSH is planning a fresh-food market, stocked by the Massachusetts Avenue Project, which promotes urban farming, and a storefront for a new or expanding business. The rear of the first floor will be a community meeting space and property management offices, and the second floor will house apartments.
Demand for the apartment units is high, Kaminsky said. In the first month that PUSH started to market 11 new units this fall, more than 100 applications came in, and people continue to inquire at PUSH headquarters on Grant Street.
Dramatic changes
The changes in the last five years in the Grant-Lafayette area – located in PUSH's Green Zone – have been evident, from the rise in property values to the addition of businesses to those that have been there for decades.
Jeanenne Petri, who owns Westside Stories, a used book and record store on Grant Street, with her husband, Joe, looks no further than the prevalence of Christmas lights in the storefronts this year, compared with last year.
"Since we moved here, the last four years have been dramatic," Petri said.
The couple moved from New York City and found the West Side to be an affordable place to start a business and raise their children.
"It felt like Brooklyn, a little," she said.
They live on nearby Greenwood Place, where eight houses that were abandoned or rentals when they moved in are now owner-occupied.
One home on Greenwood Place sold for $39,000 in August 2009, and it sold again in September for $85,000, or $10,000 above the asking price, with four competing offers, said Tim Riordan, an agent with Keller Williams Realty.
Riordan led the Petris to Greenwood Place, where he has sold about a half-dozen other houses.
"It really stood out as an unrecognized jewel," he said, adding that the houses are in good shape, cheap and aren't too large to heat or maintain.
As property values rise, rents are rising with them, Riordan said.
At the city auction in October, two of the highest-priced properties sold on the West Side: a house on Greenwood Place for $52,000 and one on Connecticut Street for $70,000.
"A lot of people are buying now because it's a good area to buy in," said Niagara Council Member David A. Rivera, who said that as people get priced out of the Richmond area, investment is heading west, toward the Niagara River.
"I think it's because of a lot of the work that organizations are doing on the West Side. It just didn't happen out of the clear blue," he said.
In addition to PUSH, Heart of the City Neighborhoods, Jericho Road Ministries, and Westside Ministries are some of the active organizations in the area.
Delores Powell, who lives on Massachusetts Avenue in a new home revealed on "Extreme Home Makeover" in 2009, credited her block's transformation to PUSH's slow and steady progress, but also to the reality show experience, which also improved properties around her own.
"There was a lot of violence, and all of that has changed," Powell said, noting that the corner of Massachusetts and Normal avenues was particularly dangerous.
The city demolished problem properties around her in 2009, which drove away drug users and other criminals, Powell said.
PUSH encouraged people to take pride in their neighborhood and also gave them a voice, she said.
The neighborhood remains a work in progress. PUSH's surveys found that residents desire more health care providers, and Mecozzi said differences between classes – the neighborhood is a destination for many immigrant communities – has prevented certain groups from patronizing certain stores.
"Our goal is to get people to stay in the same lane and hang out together," she said.
At a Planning Board meeting in November, three of PUSH's neighbors spoke in favor of the project, though real estate broker David Weitzel said that, while he liked what PUSH is doing, there needs to be more opportunities for homeownership.
The concern that the neighborhood's success is drawing new interest and causing property values to rise is a good problem to have, but one that must be addressed, said Henry Louis Taylor Jr., director of the Center for Urban Studies and a School of Architecture and Planning professor at the University at Buffalo. "We've been waiting for a long time for this problem to reach the shores of Buffalo," Taylor said.
As a way to keep neighborhoods affordable, Taylor suggested establishing land banks, which PUSH has done to address rising property values, or levying property taxes based on income.
"We have to develop mechanisms that allow us to transform neighborhoods so that they're authentically mixed-income neighborhoods, that will prevent people from being pushed out," he said. "That's important because the way we make Buffalo a great city is by creating great neighborhoods in every location, in every corner of this community."
Mixed-income communities are stronger than homogenous ones, because they foster lower crime rates and better schools, he said.
"The challenge of PUSH is to create a community that will not push people out," he said.

John McKissick is averaging seven victories a year since he was born.
McKissick, the 86-year-old head football coach at Summerville High School, has won 602 games.
But if McKissick's 62nd season isn't better than last year's 7-5 record, the 2013 season will go down as a disappointment for the Green Wave.
With 67 seniors and juniors on this year's squad, Summerville could be poised to roll in Region 8-AAAA, where several teams are rebuilding. Bluffton also should challenge for the region title, having averaged 12.6 wins over the last three seasons under coach Ken Cribb.
Ashley Ridge, Fort Dorchester and Beaufort have to replace their main offensive producers, and Colleton County seeks — again — to snap a losing streak that's reached 34 straight.
COACH: Kenny Walker (fourth year)
RETURNING STARTERS: 13 (6 offense, 7 defense)
PLAYERS TO WATCH: RB Sean White, WR Donavon Thompson, S Kendall Felder, DT Josh Spigner, DE Kadarius Anderson, LB Tyler Moore, OLB Tyquan Tucker.
NOTES: The Swamp Foxes face a rebuilding job on offense after losing running back Romelo Doctor, who signed with Newberry after leading the team in rushing the last three seasons. Also gone are players who scored 31 of Ashley Ridge's 33 touchdowns last year. One key question is at quarterback, where juniors David Turner and Chandler Avenel are battling. All-region safety Kendall Felder is back to lead the defense. "Defense is where our biggest improvement needs to be made," Walker said. "Defense has let us down the last couple of years. Offensively, we've got to work the clock and sustain drives, and we've got to cut down on penalties. We had so many big plays called back on penalties last year, it cost us games."
COACH: Mark Clifford (10th year)
RETURNING STARTERS: 10 (4 offense, 6 defense)
PLAYERS TO WATCH: TE Stephen Baggett, OL Mike Rentz, OLB Mitchell Nestler, RB Josh Roberts, DL Kentrell Seabrook, LB T.J. Watts, DE Jonathan Hill.
NOTES: Coming off a 4-7 season, the Eagles seek a return to the form that led to a region title in 2010. Tight end Stephen Baggett accepted an offer from East Carolina; the 6-5, 225-pounder caught 18 passes for 372 yards and five TDs last year, and also had offers from App State and Charlotte. Quarterback Ben Vaigneur returns after throwing for 838 yards and six touchdowns last year, and looks to run more in a shotgun offense this season. Senior Mike Rentz leads the offensive line, and the linebacker corps is experienced with seniors Mitchell Nestler, T.J. Watts and Cooper McCormick. The Eagles need senior Josh Roberts to step up at running back in place of all-state RB Jaclay Mixon. "We've got about 46 to 48 players, so our numbers are a little down," Clifford said. "But our defense is getting better, and our offense is going to look a little different this year and that will help us. We've just got to run faster and play harder than we did last year."
COACH: Ken Cribb (fourth year)
PLAYERS TO WATCH: DL Shameik Blackshear, WR/DB B.J. Hill, OL Josh Darrell, DE K.J. Ford, RB Gerald Roberson.
NOTES: Bluffton lost 21 seniors from last year's squad, which went 12-2 and made the Division II-AAAA semifinals thanks to a forfeit win over Goose Creek in the playoffs. But the Bobcats return seven starters and about 20 seniors, not to mention USC commitment Shameik Blackshear (6-4, 235) at defensive end. Record-setting quarterback C.J. Frazier is gone, but sophomore Alex Davis is ready to step in to what Cribb anticipates will be a balanced offense. "The seniors are our first group of four-year players," said Cribb, whose teams have gone 12-2, 14-1 and 12-2 in the last three years. "They've got four years of experience in three years because we've played so many games. I think that's an advantage for us, and our team speed is probably at an all-time high."
COACH: Chris Collins (second year)
RETURNING STARTERS: 10 (7 offense, 3 defense)
PLAYERS TO WATCH: QB Ramon Hall, FS Kelson Crosby, RB Tyler Williams, NG Shamar Simmons.
NOTES: Chris Collins took over for longtime coach Leroy Riley last year, but had little success in immediately turning things around. The Cougars went 0-11 to extend their losing streak to 34 straight games. Colleton County came close a couple of times, losing 8-6 to West Ashley, 29-28 to Beaufort and 26-21 to Cane Bay. Much will depend on the health of QB Ramon Hall, who suffered a knee injury in last year's final game. If he's 100 percent and if Collins can find some help on the offensive line to open holes for Diquan Crosby, the Cougars could end that losing streak. "When we came in last year, we were just very weak physically," Collins said. "The guys have done an excellent job in the weight room and as a result we are a lot stronger this year. We just need some positive momentum, to get that first positive experience so we can build on that."
COACH: Steve LaPrad (11th season)
RETURNING STARTERS: 12 (6 offense, 6 defense)
PLAYERS TO WATCH: DL Eurndaus Bryant, DL Myles White, OL Nick Tononi, OL Tyese McDonald, LB Kevyn Flores, LB David Govan.
NOTES: The Fort has a solid foundation in returning linemen Nick Tononi, Tyese McDonald and Cody Meree, but must replace its starting quarterback, top two running backs and leading receiver. Junior Kobe Garrett has won the QB job, and Matt Murray is hoping for a healthy senior season at running back, where he's paired with Nashon Cyrus. The defense is anchored by senior linebackers Kevyn Flores and David Govan, and juniors Eurndraus Bryant and Myles White are back up front. "We were young last year, and we've grown up a little bit," LaPrad said. "We've just got to be a lot more physical and aggressive than we were last year."
COACH: John McKissick (62nd season)
RETURNING STARTERS: 10 (5 offense, 5 defense).
PLAYERS TO WATCH: DB Darin Smalls, LB Mac McCurry, QB Sawyer Bridges, OL Zack Bailey, TE Sean Smith.
NOTES: The amazing John McKissick has 602 victories entering his 62nd season, and might improve that total by double digits this year. With 67 seniors and juniors on the squad, the Green Wave looks poised to improve on last year's 7-5 record. USC commitment Darin Smalls is a fourth-year starter and leads the defense; sophomore quarterback Sawyer Bridges, a Clemson baseball commitment, has junior lineman Zack Bailey (6-5, 315) and tight end Sean Smith (6-6, 212) at his disposal. "We need to replace our fullback and fill in some holes on the line," McKissick said. "We've got the bodies, we've just got to get them right. Our quarterback played as a ninth-grader last year and got better and better every game. He's a real smart guy and doesn't get shook up. Whatever happened on the last play, he can forget and move on. He'll be an outstanding quarterback, I think."

The 787 Dreamliner seems to loom large whenever Boeing Co. reports its financial results, and Wednesday's earnings teleconference should follow the pattern.
That's because, once again, the aerospace giant's quarterly check-in with investment analysts and media comes on the heels of a fire on one of the high-tech but glitch-prone jetliners.
British investigators have focused on the Ethiopian Airlines 787's emergency locator transmitter as the cause of or contributor to a July 12 fire at London's Heathrow Airport, which badly damaged the jet's upper rear fuselage, a section of the plane Boeing makes in North Charleston.
The U.K. Air Accidents Investigation Branch has recommended airlines disable the Honeywell-made battery-powered transmitters while the devices are examined. That same day, a Japan Airlines 787 bound for Tokyo turned around and landed without incident in Boston after a maintenance light came on in the cockpit, indicating a possible fuel pump problem.
The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the Dreamliner for more than three months earlier this year after a pair of smoky battery malfunctions on Japanese-owned 787s.
Meanwhile, the North Charleston plant continues production, last week rolling out the first 787 for Chile-based LAN Airlines, the local assembly factory's fifth customer.
Boeing's earnings will be released at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, and the executive commentary and Q&A begins at 10:30 a.m. Check postandcourier.com afterward for coverage of the call.
Choice beef
Charleston restaurants continue to pile on the national accolades, with Oak Steakhouse is the latest to reap the rewards.
The Daily Meal, an online dining news service, named the Broad Street dining establishment one of the top 20 places to cut into a ribeye or New York strip in America. It came in at No. 15. Cut in Beverly Hills, Calif., took the top spot.
This is what the Daily Meal had to say about Oak and its chef: "Chef Jeremiah Bacon, who's spent time in kitchens including New York's Le Bernardin and Per Se, might have a porky last name, but at his Charleston steakhouse, it's the beef that's the star of the show. "
Engineering a sale
More than two years after selling to a California outfit, a onetime South Carolina civil engineering business has sold off the real estate at two of its Palmetto State locations, including one in North Charleston.
An affiliate of ElmTree Funds, a St. Louis-based commercial real estate investment firm, purchased the 16,000-square-foot URS Corp. building at 4016 Salt Pointe Parkway, near Leeds Avenue and U.S. Interstate 526 for $2.1 million. The sale closed June 27, county property records show. On a per square foot basis, ElmTree's ET Charleston ENG LLC paid about $137.
The seller, River View Office Building LLC, was affiliated with B.P. Barber & Associates Inc., a former Columbia engineering firm specializing in water and wastewater infrastructure that URS acquired three years ago. B.P. Barber built the North Charleston building in 2004.
URS, which is headquartered in San Francisco and has eight South Carolina locations, still occupies the Salt Pointe property, as well as its 42,019-square-foot Midlands office ElmTree bought for $4.75 million.
Hot plate
Tickets for the one of the hottest food event in Charleston will soon go on sale.
The annual ticket launch party for the 2014 BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival will be available Sept. 18 on the festival's website, www.charlestonwineandfood.com.
The launch party is set for 5:30-7:30 p.m. that night at the newly opened Mixson Bath & Racquet Club near Park Circle in North Charleston.
As in previous years, the event schedule will go up online approximately one week before the ticket launch date to allow guests to plan their weekend.
Launch party tickets will be available to buy on the festival website in early August at $40 a pop.

By SAVANNAH DEMPSEY
An ex-wife was lured into a dangerous scene when her former husband allegedly called and asked her to come help him because he was dangerously ill, police say.
Dereck M. Hancock, 43, whose last known address was 653 Hepburn St., has been charged with simple assault and harassment.
According to court records, on Dec. 16, members of city police met with Bobbie Belle, who was waiting to be examined by a doctor at the Williamsport Regional Medical Center.
When they met with her, officers noticed that Belle was emotionally distraught and physically injured. As she spoke with police, she cradled her left hand and wrist, according to court records.
Belle explained that Hancock, whom she "has been trying to stay away from," contacted her earlier that day, asking for help, according to police. She said he could barely talk. Concerned for his safety, she went to check up on him.
Belle told police that Hancock was acting strangely. Though he was falling over and could barely walk, he did not appear to be intoxicated, according to authorities.
He allegedly asked her to give him a ride but refused to go to the hospital, according to court records. Frustrated, Belle turned to leave but allegedly was grabbed by Hancock and slammed down onto a coffee table, she told police.
Belle begged Hancock to let her go, but he refused, according to court records. Eventually, she was able to escape out the front door of Hancock's residence.
Belle suffered hairline fractures to two fingers on her left hand and swelling and bruising on her left arm, according to the affidavit.
Hancock was arraigned before District Judge Jerry C. Lepley on Dec. 16. He is incarcerated in lieu of $3,500.

A 42-year-old man was stabbed with a pair of scissors and choked until he began losing consciousness in an unprovoked attack Friday afternoon in a restroom at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center, police said.
Thomas Abraham, 38, was detained by mall security officers and arrested on a charge of second-degree attempted murder in the attack at 4:36 p.m., said Lt. Jayson Rego of the Criminal Investigation Division. Bail was set at $100,000 for Abraham, who was being held at the Wailuku Police Station cellblock Saturday morning.
Abraham followed the victim, a Maui resident, into the bathroom near the mall's food court and suddenly attacked the victim from behind, Rego said. He said Abraham began punching the victim in the back of his head and used a pair of scissors to stab the victim in the back of the head. Then, Abraham knocked the victim to the ground and began punching the man in the face and choking him, Rego said.
He said the man began losing consciousness when mall security officers intervened as Abraham was sitting on the man's chest while choking him.
Medics arrived to tend to the victim, who drove himself to the Maui Memorial Medical Center emergency room for treatment, Rego said. He said that the victim suffered lacerations on the back of his head, as well as popped blood vessels in his eyes and bruises around his neck from being choked.
Abraham and the victim don't know each other, Rego said.
After being arrested, Abraham told police that he didn't know why he attacked the other man, Rego said.
He said Abraham is homeless and originally from Chicago.

Stetson University softball head coach Frank Griffin announced the signing of three student-athletes to National Letters-of-Intent on Wednesday. The signees are Chelsea Hostetler (Dayton, Texas/Dayton HS), Amanda Peck (Wellington, Fla./Wellington HS), and Jasmin Vasquez (Houston, Texas/Bellaire HS).
Hostetler, a 5-5 right-handed pitcher and utility player, earned first-team all-district honors for Dayton High School last season. She hit five home runs for the Lady Broncos and was named team MVP.
Hostetler also played travel ball with the Houston Power U18 squad where she was 9-4 with a 2.11 ERA. She struck out 87 batters while pitching 108 innings.
"Chelsea is a power pitcher and I think she is going to step right in and get the job done for us," Griffin said.
Peck, a 5-6 switch-hitting outfielder, was named a first-team all-conference selection and a second-team all-county and all-area performer at Wellington High School last season. As a freshman she helped lead her team to a district and regional championship and her school's first-ever appearance in the state tournament, and she earned second-team all-conference recognition.
"Amanda has really good speed," Griffin said. "I feel like some strength training will really pay off for her. She is very fast and can chase the ball down in the outfield."
Vasquez, a 5-7 left-handed hitting outfielder, was named first-team All-Greater Houston and first-team all-district as a junior at Bellaire High School. She helped lead her team to a district championship and the regional semi-finals.
"Jasmin is another speedster, but she can also hit with power," Griffin said. "Both Jazz and Amanda are solid outfielders who will add a lot of offense to the program as well.
"All three signees have the kind of personalities that are going to fit right in with our program, and we are glad to have them," Griffin added.
Hostetler, Peck, and Vasquez will join the Hatters for the 2015 season.
