Monday, January 14, 2013
A pair of linebackers and a running back garnered some of the top honors handed out by the Swamp Fox football program Monday night.
Varsity letters as well as awards for team superlatives were handed out during the 2012 Ashley Ridge High School Football Awards Ceremony and banquet held at the school.
Senior linebacker Jackson Plyler received the Coaches Award, the only team superlative voted on by the programs coaches rather than its athletes.
The Coaches Award goes to the player who we feel best represents the character and attitude we expect from our players both on the field and in the locker room, said assistant coach Ray Wilson, who presented the award. Jackson has battled with injury the past two years but he was very serious about his rehab. He has a great respect for the game as well as his teammates.
Plyler made 49 tackles in the first five games this year but then an injury ended his season.
The teams Offensive MVP Award went to four-year starter Romelo Doctor, who finishes his high school career with 5,045 rushing yards and 59 touchdowns. This season the tailback rushed for 1,450 yards, scored 20 TDs and was selected for the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas all-star game.
The teams Defensive MVP Award was presented to senior linebacker Tray Cutler. A two-year starter, Cutler had the 300-career tackles benchmark in his site, but fell short of achieving it.
During his senior season, Cutler made 92 tackles, including two sacks. He also had an interception.
Coaches also presented academic awards to the teams upperclassmen who have the best GPAs. Junior academic awards went to Michael Marshall, Jordan Freund, Wyatt Livingston, Thomas Cooper and Tyler Moore. Senior academic awards went to Zach Armstrong, Jalaan Avritte, Cameron Smith, Brian Nix and Jackson Plyler.

AUGUSTA — Billy Payne held his annual State of the Masters news conference Wednesday, a presentation more fit for Nickelodeon Network than The Golf Channel.
Sure, the Augusta National Golf Club chairman talked about new members Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore ("just awesome") and the first Masters' cut policy change since 1962 (top 50 and ties plus those within 10 shots of the leader).
He talked about 2012 Masters winner Bubba Watson and the "impossible" shot at No. 10.
But nothing Payne said means as much to the sport as his drumbeat for Augusta National's all-out blitz to convince the planet's children that golf is worth playing and watching.
"Our mission is simple — to get kids interested, to get them excited and get them motivated to play this great game," Payne said.
Augusta National this week unveiled plans to host the Drive, Chip and Putt Championship for boys and girls ages 7-15. Payne on Monday lauded the club's efforts in building the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.
Not quite. The 77th Masters that starts today is sure to entertain. Sunday remains appointment viewing, whether kids like it or not.
But a reverse interest trend — particularly among young people — parallels dangerously with Tiger Woods' fading career path.
Augusta National, infamously stodgy when it comes to women joining the club, is splendidly progressive in its pursuit of kids. A junior patrons program was introduced in 2008, allowing children free admission on tournament days when accompanied by an accredited patron.
"We have promised to lead or follow, it doesn't matter," said Payne, who saluted USGA outreach efforts. "Our industry must continue to address the critical issues of the sport's declining participation among youth and we simply want to help."
'Lifetime choices'
The first Drive, Chip and Putt Championship is set for next April, one week before the Masters. Local qualifying events, 110 in all, begin this June.
Now children of almost all ages can dream of playing Amen Corner in a televised event.
"And more importantly," Payne said, "it will be seen by millions of other young boys and girls who are in the process of making important lifetime choices of sports and activities they wish to embrace."
Since 2000, the number of golfers has steadily declined, a National Golf Foundation study confirms. While the NGF study predicts a growth rate of approximately one percent per year to 2020 (roughly the same rate as projected U.S. population growth), most of that bullishness comes from "expected increases in the size of high income/high participation rate clusters."
Few golf industry types are boldly forecasting an interest boom among U.S. middle schoolers.
There are kids out there who love riding around in golf carts, but not on a golf course.
Chinese middle class
Maybe a Drive, Chip and Putt contest is a snowball thrown at economic downturns and shorter American attention spans.
But it helps to have an actual kid in this week's Masters field. Tianlang Guan, a 14-year-old eighth grader from China, is the youngest participant in Masters history. He played a practice round Monday with Woods, and got here by winning the 2012 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.
"Really, the only place in the world where active golf construction is going on," Payne said of the Asian market. "An emerging middle class of some 200 million people a year."
Strange times.
An Augusta National chairman is banking on disposable income trends in China while most of the golf U.S. kids play is confined to video games.

Former Silverton Mayor Wanda Miller died Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012, in Montrose. She was 79.
Mrs. Miller was born to Henry L. and Anna C. Damschroder on Jan. 6, 1933, in Silverton. She grew up there and graduated from the Silverton Public School.
On March 20, 1951, she married Edward �Gene� Miller in Aztec.
�She loved the mountains surrounding Silverton, the people of the town and considered herself a native of the small town,� her family said. �She was devoted to her family and spent much of her life as a homemaker.�
Mrs. Miller served on the Silverton School Board and was a member of the Silverton Board of Trustees for 23 years, also serving as mayor.
She was involved with improvement of the Hillside Cemetery and was the one who helped get a holding facility at the cemetery. Her family said it was a project that was close to Mrs. Miller�s heart.
She was a member of the Gem Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star and the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion ladies auxiliaries. She was also a Girl Scout and Cub Scout leader for several years in Silverton.
Mrs. Miller is survived by her husband of 60 years, Edward �Gene� Miller, of Montrose; son, Norman Miller, of Aurora; daughters Kathy Miller and Stephanie Miller Haynes, both of Montrose; six grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
A funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 26, 2012, at Crippin Chapel, 802 E. Main St., in Montrose. Viewing will be take place for half an hour before the service. A graveside service will be held afterward at 2 p.m. at the Hillside Cemetery in Silverton.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The speed limit on California Highway 89 is no quicker than the speed Lisa Gotts moved only a mere few weeks ago to set up shop in downtown Truckee.
California 89, the town's newest apparel and lifestyle goods store, opened Dec. 22, 2012, just two weeks after moving into its location in the downtown Brickelltown district.
"It was a mad dash," Gotts said. "We did the whole store in 10 days."
Last October, Gotts designed and purchased her merchandise, but it wasn't until December that she was able to secure a location. Gotts said her contractor told her there was no way crews could turn the space into California 89, but Gotts had a vision and opened her store a few days before Christmas.
"People were asking me if I was a chain, and I was saying, 'I've only been open two days,'" Gotts said with a laugh.
Slightly based off the historic U.S. Route 66, California 89's logo is a California Highway sign. The store sells athletic wear bearing the logo, as well as items such as hats, pint glasses and iPhone covers.
With Gotts' background in sales and design help from her sister, Lin Vermeulen, the women created a brand they hope will appeal to both locals and tourists. Last September, the sisters went to New York City and Paris scouring for retail and design ideas, Gotts said.
Walking the streets of neighborhoods like SoHo and Chelsea, both in Manhattan, they saw what they could learn from each store and how they could perfect their own brand.
"We were like sponges," Vermeulen said. "Looking, talking, taking pictures. We focused on looking at how other retailers make big impacts with low-cost, simple solutions."
The store has a clean look - black, white and gray - and an edgy, user-friendly feel. Antique cameras and old photos decorate the warehouse-like interior. Wooden pallets are used to display merchandise, and a flat screen TV near the back plays Warren Miller ski films.
Gotts says she's always loved the Truckee-Tahoe area, and after 20 years working in sales, she longed to start something of her own and leave the corporate world.
"I knew at some point I'd get out of it," she said.
It wasn't until she snapped a photo of her husband and his bike in front of the state route sign that she had the idea for California 89.
"From South Tahoe up to Shasta, the highway is such a beautiful drive," Gotts said. "I just thought, 'I have to do it.'"
Gotts hopes to one day design everything herself, letting her brand speak to a lifestyle in the Truckee-Tahoe area. She plans to expand her apparel to include biking wear in the summer and bring in more colors for the spring.
"Winter sports, summer sports - it's got everything that's great to do up here," Gotts said.
Vermeulen agreed: "It's a playground like no other."
Gotts aims to personify that idea with her brand. She plans to work with other local businesses and do promotions with ski resorts, developing California 89's presence both online and in the community.
"Just a T-shirt shop - that's the furthest from what I want to be," Gotts said. "I want to work with the community, bring everybody together."
With that in mind, Gotts' ideas for mobile fashion trucks and a California 89 team for the Lake Tahoe Triathlon are in the works. She said she hopes to one day open a few more locations along the famous Sierra highway.
"People come in and tell me, 'I drive this road everyday,'" Gotts said. "Or they recognize the highway and want to take something home from the area."
Gotts' store is located at 10156 Donner Pass Road and is open Tuesday-Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. California 89 will have its grand opening on Saturday, Feb. 23.

Great weather for Balloon Fiesta the next several days. Quieter weather heads our way. High pressure builds over the state the next few days allowing for cool nights and mild afternoons along with plenty of sunshine.
New Mexico's next change moves in Thursday into Friday. A Pacific storm system works across the state bringing with it wind, rain, mountain snow and cooler temperatures. Right now...it appears the weather should clear out by next weekend.
Have a Wonderful Week!

The Pulp Fiction actor appeared on The Tonight Show Tuesday, and oh-so-coolly performed a slam poetry piece on Boy Meets World. Dressed in beatnik black and drawing on an e-cigarette, Jackson rhythmically begins, "The year 1993. We see two boys who lack both brain and brawn, Cory Matthews and Hunter. Hunter, comma Shawn."
Three minutes and a few Matthew McConaughey chest thumps later, and Jackson has covered the show's entire history from the first Topanga kiss to Feeny's bittersweet farewell.

The 6 Most Terrifying Features of Japanese Toilets
#6. Ass ShowersA very popular option found on Japanese toilets is the bidet, which is a pretty precious term for a jet of water that gets fired at your tenderness.
The more complicated toilets feature different settings depending on your tenderness' needs -- a variety of jet size, power and even massage (!!) settings. There is also typically a specific nozzle meant for a lady's needs (we're not even going to guess what these needs might be [yes we are; it's to scare away ghosts -- right, ladies?]). Many such toilets also contain blow dryers, which, after an accidental anal massage, actually sounds kind of pleasant. What certainly doesn't sound pleasant is the "turbo wash" feature some of these units have, and if you were hoping that wasn't a euphemism for an enema, you're about to be disappointed. How This Will Go All Wrong Just think for a moment about trusting any machine to root around in your turd vent, much less a machine that will certainly grow to hate you. What could go right with that plan?
#5. Seat WarmingA poorly heated home makes any kind of winter-time contact with a toilet seat a potentially harrowing experience. And considering the natural tendency of our various sphincters to clench up when subjected to sudden shocks, a heated toilet seat actually seems like a pretty good idea. Nice one, Japan. How This Will Go All Wrong Unless ... Is there anything you put in close proximity to a toilet seat that is sensitive in any way? Like a kind of fun, goofy appendage? Let's say there is, and let's call him Johnson-San. How would Johnson-San feel if it was abruptly pinned by a scalding hot toilet seat that swung down suddenly?
"Ahh oh god oh god oh god I burned my dick and I peed on the floor but mostly that first thing shit heeeeeeelllllllp."
#4. DeodorizationWhen a toilet is used successfully, it is often the case that fantastic odors are produced. For most Westerners, these fragrances are a great thing, a cause for celebration and windmill high-fives. But for the Japanese, they are a terrible embarrassment, a reminder that inside everyone lurks great evil. To counter these grim portents, many Japanese toilets contain deodorization features. These can include masking fragrances, but the more advanced models can even produce ozone, which is capable of chemically neutralizing many odors. How This Will Go All Wrong Well, in high enough concentrations, ozone acts as an irritant to lungs and other mucus membranes. It's also, hilariously, flammable in the presence of a spark. And when a rash factory/incendiary device camped out by your personal area says it has some demands, see how closely you listen.

Three weeks before the world's biggest sporting event, there is a more pressing question than who actually will play in the Super Bowl: Will there be enough Velveeta?
Velveeta fans – and that means you, Texas queso lovers – might be shocked to know that Velveeta is in short supply. According to Kraft, a "combination of factors" has led to a short-term shortage of the soft processed American cheese that is integral to many a cheesy dip.
"It is possible some consumers may not be able to find their favorite Velveeta products on store shelves over the next couple of weeks," Jody Moore, associate director, corporate affairs for the Cheese & Dairy business at Kraft, which makes and markets Velveeta, stated Tuesday. When contacted, Moore added that the man reason of the shortage is the increased seasonal demand of Velveeta.
Holiday parties, college bowl games and the road to Super Bowl XLVIII might have something to do with the shortage. After all, Velveeta is integral to entertaining. But not being able to find Velveeta on store shelves during this time of year is unthinkable for home cooks and sports fans.
Twitter users began buzzing about the shortage Tuesday morning after Advertising Age reported that some consumers may not be able to find Velveeta over the next few weeks. Some Twitter users began using the hashtag "cheesepocalypse" in conjunction with the shortage.
Though Kraft issued a statement about the possibility of not finding Velveeta on store shelves over the next few weeks, it also added: "We have not heard many complaints from consumers so far."
Calls to local retailers confirmed that there is a shortage of 8-ounce and 16-ounce packages of Velveeta, but not the 32-ounce size, which is the most popular.
James Gorzell, a buyer for H-E-B said that Kraft has been shorting stores of 8- and 16-ounce packages since October. But there is no shortage of the 32-ounce size, which accounts for about 90 percent of business.
"That is the one everyone buys and it's still available," he said. "Consumers don't need to be concerned. Everyone's got Velveeta."
He adds that H-E-B makes its own proprietary product called Easy Melt, which is only sold in 32-ounce format (and in six varieties). He also said it's better for making hot dips than Velveeta.
H-E-B has not had any customer complaints about the lack of smaller-format Velveeta cheese, "and we were shorted thousands of cases," Gorzell said. "There's plenty of two-pound out there."
Kroger stores echoed the same line as H-E-B.
"Kroger is fully-stocked with 32-ounce Velveeta packages but we're currently experiencing limited supplies of the 8- and 16-ounce sizes, " stated Joy Partain, consumer affairs manager for Kroger.
Now if there's a shortage of Ro-Tel, Texas will be in big trouble.

Charleston‐area dentist and National Spokesperson for Wrigley's Orbit For Kids Sugarfree Gum, AmandaSeay, DDS, hopes to increase awareness surrounding National Dental Hygiene Month. Focusing on early detection, she has highlighted three ways your dentist may be your first line of defense in maintaining good health. "Most people see their dentist twice a year at least ‐ giving us the opportunity to be a gateway to their overall health.
We offer screenings and preventative services as part of a routine hygiene exam and they can be invaluable in detecting health issues early on" says Seay.
Three services at a routine hygiene visit that can forcast health issues:
• Blood pressure screenings taken at each visit.
Untreated high blood pressure can lead or contribute to atherosclerosis, stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease, diabetes and other health conditions.
67 million American adults (31 percent) have high blood pressure — that's 1 in every 3 American adults.
• Head and neck exam completed at every visit.
Dentists may see a skin issue or find an enlarged lymph node that should be evaluated further. Head and neck cancer accounts for five to 10 percent of all cancers in the United States and 3% of all malignant cancers in the US.
• Oral cnacer screening completed annually.
A surface exam is a necessary part of your head and neck exam. The Velscope is an adjunct to this service, enabling dentists to see beneath the surface giving them the best chance of early detection of oral cancer. At least 85 percent of head and neck cancers are oral cancer.
Dr. Seay was one of Dental Products Report's Top 25 Women in Dentistry. She is the mother of four children, all under the age of 9 and an active participant in outreach initiatives such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's "Give Back a Smile," Our Lady of Mercy Wellness Center, and the East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) Dental Clinic.
Dr. Seay and her team at Park West Dentistry hold themselves to a high standard of care, as such these screenings and preventative services are offered as part of any exam and are invaluable to maintaining the best health.

Ferguson, 37, who plays uptight lawyer Mitchell Pritchett on the hit ABC sitcom, and Mikita, 27, a real-life lawyer, became engaged last year when the two vacationed in Mexico, after being together nearly two years.
Playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner officiated the ceremony, according to Ferguson's rep.
"Never been happier. XO Goodnight!" Ferguson Tweeted early Sunday morning.
Among those in attendance: Nigel Lythgoe, Cat Deeley and Mary Murphy from Ferguson's So You Think You Can Dance guest-judging gig.
"I think the service at Justin and Jesse's wedding was so beautifully honest," Lythgoe Tweeted. "It was so emotional that when we weren't laughing we were crying."
The actor's Modern Family costar Julie Bowen later dubbed the N.Y.C. affair the "#bestweddingever."
Despite residing in California, the Montana-born Ferguson explained last month on The View – a day after the historic June 26 Supreme Court ruling that called the state's Prop 8 unconstitutional – that the couple had already made plans to marry in New York, because "that's where it was legal."
He added, "It wasn't legal in California up until yesterday. Weddings are expensive, y'all, and we wanted to give that money to a state that accepted us as an equal. We're too far down the planning path to change."
One thing on which the couple promised they'd spare no expense is good drinks for their guests.
"We really want a great mixologist for a craft cocktail bar," Mikita told PEOPLE earlier this year. "There are some great New York speakeasies, like Milk and Honey. So we're trying to bring a cool vibe like that to our wedding."
In lieu of wedding gifts, the couple asked that guests donate to the marriage equality charity Tie The Knot, to help other same-sex couples win equal rights in other states.
Husband.— Justin Mikita (@JustinMikita) July 21, 2013

Internet Addiction: Ruining Lives?
Spouses, Friends See It First, Suffer Most

Aug. 7, 2003 -- "It's got people worried: Glassy-eyed millions are downloading, instant messaging, emailing -- and they're doing it 24/7. Hours and hours after logging on, they can't walk away."
Internet Addiction: Ruining Lives?
I used to be really BAD. Back when I got my very first computer and got on the internet for the first time, I got SO addicted!
Thankfully, I'm not like that anymore
Honestly though, I had become a walking zombie, totally sleep deprived. I lost my job, I almost lost my relationship with my sister, and I used to fall asleep in the middle of my childrens' choir concerts and stuff.
I do still enjoy being online, but nowhere near to the extreme I once did. I don't know if I got cured or I just got too old to be able to stay up all night, LOL.
Have any of you had any experience with internet addiction, either yourself or a loved one?

That almost-man of mine, the one who turns 15 this month, he has a generous and helpful heart.
I�ve seen him bus tables for people in need of a Thanksgiving meal and bend down low to take his brother�s hand and check a skinned knee. I�ve watched him spend his last dime to buy candy for someone else and take part of his vacation and feed animals that other people had given up on, animals that needed refuge.
The woman, the one who runs the refuge, she showed him how she prepares the food for the 250 exotic animals that were once pets. The tiger that was a Christmas gift for a 5-year-old. The peacock that previous owners found to be too loud.� The turtle that grew too big.
We humans did this to them, she said as she doled out blueberries and chopped up melon. We captured them. We made it so they don�t know how to live in the wild. And now it�s up to us to fix it.
She patted a horse, greeted an iguana and fed two lemurs. When the gate closed behind us, I slipped in the question I�d been wanting to ask since I first heard about Safari�s Sanctuary � the one where I ask how she takes care of the dangerous animals. The bears. The majestic lions. The alligators. The snakes.
How do you care for an animal like that, one that terrifies you?
Fear is often learned, she said. And anytime I�ve been scratched or hurt, it has been my fault. She misread the animal. She missed a cue.
She and Jessie walked ahead. I followed along but my mind was still processing how much of my own fear was natural and necessary � and how much fear I had simply taught myself.
I choose to fear failure. I agree to worry about what people will think of my messy house, my rowdy boys and my written words. I use fear as an excuse for not helping more and that truth cuts as deep as a cougar�s claw.
Fear is easier than faith. It makes it OK to pass on that rewarding job or that amazing volunteer opportunity. It stops us from pulling out the guitar or the paints or the running shoes.
Fear requires less but it also makes us less of who we were made to be.
We walked to the animals with the high fences and fierce teeth and all the while she talked about safety precautions and about love and responsibility. But no more talk of fear.

A member of the Tiffin Art Guild, Elinor Spellerberg of Tiffin loves to paint and sketch horses. She loves to ride them even more.
When Spellerberg was looking for a gift for a friend with a new grandchild, she looked for a gift book about baby horses. She discovered many children's books about kittens and puppies, but not horses.
"There were no baby horse books. It's terrible!" Spellerberg said with a laugh. "So I ended up writing three. They're 'read to me' books."
Article Photos
In September, Elinor Spellerberg and her mount, King Solomon (Johnny), competed in the test for membership in the United States Dressage Federation's Century Club.
The main character in all three books is Toby, a young bay foal.
"Toby's First Day" describes his actions from birth to the end of the day. During that time, he learns to stand on wobbly legs, to nurse from his mother, and to walk outdoors on the grass. He also meets his human owners and wears a halter for the first time.
"Toby Makes New Friends" narrates the colt's meeting with a rabbit, bird, dog, cat and another colt.
The third book, "Toby Learns Some Lessons," talks about the young horse learning to eat grass, wear a bridle, have his coat brushed and get his first horse shoes from a farrier.
The books' target audience is children ages 2-7. Spellerberg also illustrated the books with color images on the covers and sketches on the inner pages. The Chronicle of the Horse, a well-known magazine, is running a business card-sized ad for Spellerberg's books.
"(The editor) was so excited about it she put it on the Internet as a full-page ad," Spellerberg said.
The children's books are not Spellerberg's first efforts at writing.
After studying dressage, she wrote the Dressage Manual and workbook for Ohio 4-H members. She also wrote "The Test" to introduce youth to the art and rules of dressage. The book contains dressage training lessons for young riders who have no access to a dressage instructor.
Spellerberg said she remembered riding her grandfather's work horses when she was growing up in Indiana.
"I was born loving horses. I guess that's the way it goes," she said.
While taking classes at Ohio State University, she met her future husband, the late Thomas Spellerberg. When he was looking for a place to practice law, he settled on Tiffin.
Although her husband bought Elinor a horse after they got married, a negative experience kept him from sharing her passion.
"One bucked him off. She was a nice, lovely old quarterhorse, and she dumped him," Elinor said.
When the five Spellerberg children were showing for 4-H, Elinor served as a 4-H leader. At one point, the family had seven horses housed at their Misty Hill Stables. Having lost count of the horses she has owned over the years, Elinor just says "a bunch."
In May 2012, Spellerberg and her most recent horse, Johnny, became members of the United States Dressage Federation's Century Club. To qualify, the combined age of the rider and horse must be 100 years or more, and they must complete a test that is judged.
The honors came just in time.
"Johnny was 22, but he died in September," Spellerberg said.
With Johnny's passing, she no longer owns a horse. Neither that nor her age has stopped her from riding, though.
Three or four times a week, she shows up at Lane of Dreams Farms, where the Tiffin University Equestrian Team rides. Occasionally, she gives a lesson. Currently, she is re-schooling a horse that has been racing for 10 years. Now he must learn to respond to the rider's signals for direction and speed.
"All a race horse does is run. That's all he knows," Spellerberg said.
Elinor has five grandchildren, including a granddaughter who is a "real rider." She lives in Sweden but visited her grandmother during the summer. They rode together every day at Lane of Dreams.
"To ride with your granddaughter is a very good thing," Spellerberg said. "It's really delightful."
Fellow Tiffin Art Guild member, Mark Levans, published Spellerberg's softcover "Toby" books. Each is 10 pages long.
Copies can be purchased at Paper and Ink in downtown Tiffin or at the Tiffin Art Guild Gallery, 178 S. Washington St., at $5.95 each.

PHILADELPHIA – St. Bonaventure wiped out another Philadelphia jinx Wednesday night, upsetting Saint Joseph's, 73-64, before 4,051 at Hagan Arena in an Atlantic 10 Conference game.
It was only the third time the Bonnies (9-9, 2-3 A-10) had won over the Hawks in the City of Brotherly Love and the win came four days after a first-ever victory over Temple in Philadelphia last Saturday.
Demetrius Conger had 21 points to lead the Bonnies while Matthew Wright had 18.
Bona led by as many as 25 points (35-10) in the first half but had to hold off a frantic second-half rally by the Hawks. Although outrebounded badly (36-19), St. Bonaventure more than made up for it with outside shooting.
The Bonnies made 10 of 20 from beyond the three-point arc while St. Joe's was only 2 of 22. The Hawks were 1 for 13 in the first half as Bona jumped to a 12-0 lead.
For a while its looked as if the Bonnies would threaten their largest margin of victory – 35 points – in the all-time series against Saint Joseph's. But it wasn't going to be that easy even though they kept building their lead and left the floor at the break with a 36-17 advantage. Bona shot 56 percent (14 of 25 overall and 5 of 10 from three-point range) in the first half while the Hawks shot only 26.1 percent (7 of 26).
Saint Joseph's (10-7, 1-3) attack picked up in the second half. The Hawks made 15 of 26 shots but could not come all the way back. They got it down to 67-61 with 41 seconds left but a three-point play by Conger broke the momentum.

UNIVERSITY PARK - They raised the Big Ten Conference championship and the NCAA championship banners after a video of last season's Penn State wrestling highlights played on the big screens at a packed Rec Hall on Sunday afternoon.
Key members of the Nittany Lions were missing from the home debut with Lock Haven, including two-time NCAA champion Ed Ruth, who was suspended for a month for violating a team rule in the preseason, and the Alton twins, Andrew and Dylan, who are rehabbing from respective shoulder surgeries for an undefined time.
But, the top-ranked Lions have enough talent and depth that they can still win comfortably. Before a crowd of 6,498, they won eight of the 10 bouts, picking up bonus points in six of those bouts, and cruised to a 34-6 win.
"I thought the overall effort was good," Penn State coach Cael Sanderson said. "From here on out, we're looking for effort, and if they're putting a good effort in, we'll get good results. Even the two matches we lost, the effort was solid. That's kind of the foundation of everything else."
Two-time NCAA runner-up Nico Megaludis got the Lions (3-0) off to a roaring start with a 21-6 technical fall of Ronnie Perry at 125. PSU's Jordan Conaway gave up the initial takedown to Matt Bryer, but he went on to win, 10-5, at 133.
"I think I wrestled well. I think it took me a little bit to get a rhythm going," Conaway said. "I feel like for part of the match I was wrestling his type of match, but I think toward the end, I started to get my shots in."
Penn State freshman Zain Retherford continued his impressive first season with a 6-1 win over returning NCAA qualifier Dan Neff at 141. Retherford broke open a scoreless bout with a second-period escape and takedown, and he added a takedown and riding point in the third.
"I love watching Zain Retherford wrestle," senior returning NCAA runner-up David Taylor said. "I can tell he's going to be really good. Today, he showed something. The guy was in on a shot, he defended the shot and he was immediately into his takedown. That's when you can tell a guy is going to be really good."
Zack Beitz, who is filling in for Andrew Alton at 149, suffered PSU's first loss, 8-7, to Mac Maldarelli. The bout was tied 2-2, 5-5 and 7-7, but Maldarelli scored with 32 seconds left, and Beitz was unable to get the takedown late in the bout.
"He could have won that match," Sanderson said. "He has to get better at finishing shots."
James Vollrath, filling in for Dylan Alton, earned a 12-4 major decision over Billy Randt, scoring six points in the final period at 149, including two takedowns, an escape and riding time.
Sanderson said the Altons could be out until mid-December.
"You've got to figure out how would you bring them back," Sanderson said. "Do they get some open matches or what do you do? They're doing a nice job. They're both wrestling hard in practice now."
The Lions ran out their returning NCAA runners-up, Taylor and Matt Brown, at 165 and 174, respectively, in the next two bouts, and their was predictable domination.
LHU's Jake Kemerer, a former Penn State wrestler, was aggressive against Taylor, his old roommate, but the Lion senior was opportunistic, scoring points with various defensive moves to amass a 16-3 lead before putting Kemerer on his back with a bar-arm and half nelson and pinning him in 6:09.
"Jake is a strong, athletic kid," Taylor said. "He's got really explosive shots, so I kind of expected him to come out and shoot a few times. It was nice to have a guy come out and try to score."
Brown wore down freshman Adam Mackie, took a 13-3 lead into the third period, scored three nearfall points and the last two points on stalling calls for an 18-3 technical fall in 6:03 to give the Lions a 26-3 lead.
After LHU's Fred Garcia edged Ruth's replacement, freshman Wes Phipps, 3-1, the Lions finished off the dual meet major decisions from Logan McIntosh at 197 and Jimmy Lawson at 285. McIntosh outscored Phil Sprenkle 8-2 in the third period to win, 15-3, and Lawson notched two takedowns of Brad Emerick in the last 20 seconds to win, 14-4.
"I love coming up here," said LHU coach Scott Moore, a former Penn State wrestler whose team fell to 2-3. "I think it's great for our guys to come up here and exposing our guys to this great environment. It's a tough crowd, but life is tough, and we want our wrestlers to come in here and perform whether it's losing 6-5 or 13-3. It motivates them to do more."

The Building Inspection Division is responsible for the regulation of construction, alteration, repair and demolition of buildings and structures within the Town's boundaries through administration of the Ontario Building Code, as well as Town of Richmond Hill By-laws and the Municipal Act.

Building Inspectors
Building Inspectors conduct inspections at various stages of construction and keep records on file for future reference. Beyond the immediate role of ensuring safe construction, these inspection records provide verification of no longer visible building elements located within a building or structure. Lending institutions, appraisers, lawyers and others can then rely upon these files in determining the value of a building.
A number of inspections and/or certifications are required during the course of construction in order to ensure that all work is being completed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code and the building permit documents. Inspections do not take place automatically. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to contact the Inspection Division and request an inspection.
When do I Request an Inspection?
Permit holders are required by the Ontario Building Code to notify the Building Division's inspectors at certain stages of construction so that inspections can be arranged. It is expected that the person in charge of the construction has verified the readiness for inspection prior to arranging the inspection. For the purposes of inspection, the building permit documents must be kept and maintained on the site of the construction at all times.
Stages of Inspection
Stages of Inspection - Housing

Location Description
The Upper East Side is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, between Central Park and the East River. The 1.8 square miles (4.7 km˛) neighborhood, with elegant rows of landmark townhouses, once known as the 'Silk Stocking District', has some of the most expensive real estate in the United States, and is believed to be the greatest concentration of individual wealth in the nation. In the 19th century, and until the Park Avenue railroad cut was covered (finished in 1910), rich industrialists including Pittsburghers Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick began building stylish mansions and townhouses on the large lots along Fifth Avenue, abutting Central Park. One of the first sections to be developed was around 86th Street, where several prominent families of German descent built country estates. Yorkville as it was known, soon moved east past Lexington Avenue and became a suburb of middle-class Germans, many of whom worked in nearby piano factories, stables, and breweries. Madison Avenue from 60th Street well into the 80s is the monied crowd's main shopping strip, recently vaulting ahead of Hong Kong's Causeway Bay to become the most expensive retail real estate in the world. Zip code 10021 has the highest concentration of stores in the United States with more than $1 million in annual sales each.

Loss of Hochul is a blow to the region
People of Niagara County, especially the City of Lockport and along 18 Mile Creek, lost a great friend when Kathy Hochul was not re-elected. Before she was elected the first time, she took time to meet two Republican women and took the information I gave her on pollution. Once elected, she pushed for the cleanup of 18 Mile Creek. She got it on both federal and state Superfund lists.
When I brought it up at a council meeting, someone said, "Oh well, it will probably be another 20 years before anything is done." I responded, "That still would be more than they did." No response. I personally would want my legacy to be saving people's lives instead of spending their money.
Hochul also got Leon Panetta to come to the Niagara Falls air base, maybe saving jobs in Niagara County. With her busy schedule, she still had time to cheer up a friend. I wish her well in any new endeavor.

Oliver A. Willis deported to Canada
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Apr 24 2012 15:29PM
- The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) has announced the arrest and deportation of a Canadian who was being sought for at least 22 counts of trafficking in cocaine and gun possession. Oliver A. Willis was arrested when he was released from Najayo jail where he had been since February 2010. He was in preventive custody at Najayo, arrested for carrying 71 kilograms of pure cocaine. He will now stand for charges at a Quebec court. He had been arrested in 2010 together with David George Daniel Parker, Giuseppe Mauro and Dominican Wendy Magdalena Abreu Polanco, during an arraignment in Piantini. Recently, Willis had been discharged of responsibility in the drug trafficking case, despite evidence, but the prosecutor arrested him and delivered him to the Quebec authorities to face at least 22 counts of cocaine and weapons charges in Quebec. DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebron said that Law 50-88 establishes that when a foreigner fulfills his term he should be deported. He also said that Law 285-04 on Migration prohibits foreigners who are fugitives from the law in their own countries from remaining in the DR. Willis is suspected of belonging to a network that operates in Quebec and Toronto. Recently David George Daniel Parker and Mauro Giuseppe were sentenced to 10 years in jail for trafficking in drugs, but Oliver A. Willis and former jail security agent Wendy Abreu were acquitted on the grounds of insufficient evidence. Read original at

Danny Deraney, publicist for Kerri Kasem, says Kasem's children from his first marriage hope he will be buried at Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, California, as he wished.
Kasem died June 15 at a hospital in Washington state. Deraney says the celebrity's second wife, Jean Kasem, has the rights to his body but has not yet arranged for him to be buried.
Hospital spokesman Scott Thompson with St. Anthony Hospital says Kasem's wife collected his remains from the hospital after he died, but Thompson did not know what arrangements she made.
A call to Jean Kasem's attorney was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Manila Bay. The pollution creates vivid sunset colours, and also really dims the sun when it's on the horizon to be much dimmer than the sky above - hence the lack of reflection.
North Shore, Auckland does this qualify?
Here is mine sky on fire. Hawaii Molikia sunset.
Seriously, none of these qualify as "sky on fire".Since I'm saying that, I suppose I should post something that I liken more to "sky on fire".Attached is something that I'd consider closer to "sky on fire" but even then, it is just an "auto-tone" out of Lightroom (no crop or manual saturation, etc, changes) but even then, there may be a couple of better ones I've got.Well, if attachments work... :/
Frankly, I find it sad when a person ruins their picture like that. It is a pretty image, but the watermark, and your response to a complaint about it, sours it. That's a shame.
Here's a bit of a fun picture; the memorial shell sculpture on the beach at Adleburgh in Eastern England.It's made of about eight tonnes of stainless steel and when we came across it we thought it was in memorial to those lost at sea, as it has cut into it 'I hear those voices that will not be drowned'. In fact it is a memorial to the English composer Benjamin Britten, one of relatively modern times, and who's music I have to admit I found pretty dire. By all accounts it is pretty unpopular at Aldeburgh.Anyway I liked it, so here it is on a three frame panoramic with the 5DII and 40mm pancake plus a touch of fill from 430EX. Shot just as the sun rose above the horizon, and underexposed for effect.

Studies show that many minimum wage workers get government aid such as food stamps and Medicaid. Would increasing it — as Obama is doing with fed workers — get people off the dole?
It appears we are all in agreement. Republicans are incapable of compromise.

Well, I agree, 'Nope', that is what the House of Representatives is going to say making this an issue for the 2014 and 2016 elections. If Republicans were willing to compromise on this they could pass a bill raising the minimum wage to $8.50 and the President would be forced to sign it or deny the poor a pay raise. That would take the issue off the table, if only the Republicans could compromise. :>)

D3, If you're still here. On subject, What about the earned income tax credit? That was supposed to (and is, I believe) boosting earning power. No loss of jobs, it takes into account the whole family's earnings. So why not play more with that?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
questioner, I am actually glad you brought that up because I had heard that story before and it did not make sense to me. The European Healthcare system has the same basic tools that we have and possibly better preventative care so it did not make sense that they should not have the same or better outcomes. There was a study by 'The Friends of Cancer Research' in 2011 that said the FDA does release Cancer drugs faster than the EMA but that is the only place I have seen any advantage. Wait times for certain procedures in Canada have been increasing, of course that is completely socialized medicine. While the pundits may claim that is what Obamacare is, we are not even close to that here.

questioner, One more thing. Your study completely ignores the survival rates for the uninsured in the United States. For some reason those people don't count. In the European study everyone is included. That means that the poorest of Europe are also included in the European survival rates. I wonder if diet and life style affect these survival rates. What do you think?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Dr. Otis Brawley, the chief medical officer and executive vice president at the American Cancer Society, who was not involved in the study, said that "this paper has a huge fatal flaw in it."
"When you look at survival from time of diagnosis to time of death and you have a screened population that has a lot of diagnoses, you're filling that population with people who don't need treatment and because they are over-diagnosed, they have very long survival," he added.
These researchers attribute increased survival to the treatment, when it is really over-diagnosis, Brawley said. "So they are looking at a bunch of wasted, unnecessary treatment and then saying it was money well spent," he said.

Totally going off-track here, back to health care:
"For all types of cancers, European men have only a 47.3 percent five-year survival rate, compared to a 66.3 percent survival rate for American men.
European women have only a 55.8 percent chance of being alive five years after being diagnosed with any type of cancer, compared to 62.9 percent of American women.
American survival rates for breast, prostate, thyroid and skin cancer are higher than 90 percent. Europeans do not have a 90 percent survival rate for one of those cancers.
The European rates are even worse than they sound because many cancers are not discovered until the victim's death -- twice as many as in the U.S. All those cancers were excluded from the study.
So across the world, we'll all be equal, dying of cancer as often as everyone else.
It's not that Obama doesn't believe in American exceptionalism; it's that he wants to end it."

The proposed cost-of-living trims, now put aside by Obama, had faced significant opposition from Democrats. Just last Friday, 16 Senate liberals called for Obama not to include in his budget any provision that would reduce increases in Social Security benefits to future retirees.
That proposal, supported by many Republicans, would have used a different inflation index to adjust annual benefit payments. Many economists believe the revised formula, called a "chained consumer price index," better reflected consumer spending behavior.
Even though the Obama proposal does not include that significant debt-reduction idea, the White House says that passage of a separate overhaul of immigration law, combined with more slowly growing health care costs, would eventually result in a national debt that is lower

Disagree all you want, the question is still, "So how's that not negotiating working out?"

"The decision to drop the cost-of-living proposal was essentially an acknowledgement that Obama has been unable to conclude a "grand budget bargain" with Republican leaders, even by including in his previous budget plan a benefit reduction opposed by many Democrats."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama's upcoming budget proposal will not include his past offer to accept lowered cost-of-living increases in Social Security and other benefit programs. Those had been a central component of his long-term debt-reduction strategy.
Officials said Thursday that those potential reductions in spending, included in last year's Obama budget, had been designed to initiate negotiations with Republicans over how to reduce future deficits and the nation's debt. But Republicans never accepted Obama's calls for higher tax revenue to go along with the cuts.
So how's that not negotiating working out for ya?

And notSocialist, the "Have you stopped..." question simply means it's a question that cannot be answered yes or no with a good outcome.
I thought that was pretty much universally understood.
I certainly didn't say you were accusing me of anything. (I might have been accusing you... :)
And I did initially answer your question, just not the way you wanted. Sorry I didn't know it was to be a 2 or 3 letter answer--you didn't initially demand that.

And when have I not been absolutely straight with my answers? I don't dodge. I'll defend, I'll concede (altho I still wish the prisoner taken out in -12 degree weather wore more than a short-sleeved hospital smock), and I'll say I could go either way on an issue.
But just because I could come up with something on climate change and weather that we all could agree on (and it was pro US/capitalism too) doesn't make me someone you should write-off. In fact, maybe it shows the the benefits of negotiation. (But if you refuse to acknowledge any benefits there, I guess when you see a positive someone you have to morph it into something negative, just to make it fit your narrow outlook.)
It's just that it seems like it would be a lonely life up on that self-righteous mountain, with no compromising.

Ask a question that can be answered. Don't skew/load a question. (At least when Watchdog asked the last question on climate it was a normal question: What should America do?) But I'll answer your question as it was actually written, even tho I'm sure you did not intend what it actually asks.
My line you quoted, "We would not be a country if the founders hadn't negotiated together."
Your question immediately following, "And are you happy about the state of the Nation this 'compromise' has put us in?"
So the compromise you must be referring to is the compromise the founders made.
So in answer to if I am happy with the state of the nation the founders put us in with their compromising, with a straight yes or no, Yes, I am happy with the state of the nation our nation's founders put us in.
(It would be "yes, but", but you're not allowing that)

Oops, something didn't work.
This was a really interesting interview. It's good to hear that the MS VPs get along.
The story of how Debra navigated her career to become a corporate VP is really worth listening to.
My favorite bit is this:
Jennifer: What were you hired in as? Director, GM, VP...?
Debra: Corporate VP.
Ah, you're smiling ... how did I do that?
Jennifer: Pray tell!
Charles: Yeah ...
more laughter
Debra (serious): Because I am one.
Charles wrote:After this interview, both Jennifer and I wanted to go work for Debra! What a great leader. I hope she rises through the ranks to become our first (dare I say it) CEO! Yeah.
Rock on, Debra.
Really enjoyed this interview. Especially the section when you all talked about Datacenters and measuring them in megawatts instead of square feet.
I wish there was more information on the MS datacenters to help counter the whole Google rocks!!!! and their datacenter is teh b0mb!!!!
Very very smart woman...

MARTINSBURG -Woodrow Wilson's Donte Nabors really couldn't help it.
He was born with a legacy tag, with a name that is basketball royalty in Beckley, a city where hoops is king.
His dad, Gene, was a star for Woodrow Wilson in the early 1990s and went on to play at Louisiana State and Robert Morris.
Article Photos
Submitted Photo
Lewis County's John Riley is a second-team selection on the Class AAA all-state team.
His uncles, Brian and Andre were also stars for legendary coach Dave Barksdale.
So the expectations were there.
A year ago, Nabors started early in the season but was relegated to the junior varsity team when he struggled with his shot.
What a difference a year has made.
Nabors became the first Beckley player in more than 20 years to average 20 points (20.5) and was leader of the group that came up with the motto 'Refuse to Lose' which Woodrow Wilson rode to 19 straight wins (after a 4-4 start) all the way to the state championship game, where the Flying Eagles lost to Martinsburg, 57-52.
Nabors was the only underclassmen on the Class AAA boys basketball all-state first team released Sunday by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
It was quite a turnaround for the junior.
"I just got off to a really poor start last year, and that made me want to work even harder," Nabors said. "I wouldn't say there was any more pressure because of the name. To me, it's just my dad and my uncles. I know they were great players. I want to be better than they were."
Gene and Andre, both all-staters at Woodrow Wilson, are assistant coaches under Ron Kidd.
"He worked hard, and that was a credit to him," Gene Nabors said. "Being the dad, I kind of stepped away from it and let my brother (Andre) work with him. I am extremely proud of how hard he worked. He never complained, he never missed a workout. We told him this,'When you aren't working, someone else is.'"
"Donte has the ability to be better than Gene, Brian or I were," Andre Nabors said. "In some ways, he is. His dad was a scorer and Donte can score. Brian was a great defensive player, and that is where he improved the most this season. I was probably somewhere in the middle. If he continues to work hard, he can be better than we were."
Nabors knows what that means.
"They both have state championships," Donte Nabors said. "That is what I want. Honors are nice, but this is Beckley and we play for championships."
One who does have a state championship is the first-team captain, Donte Grantham of Martinsburg.
Donte' Grantham, who was also named the Evans Award winner (as the state player of the year) Sunday, captains the first team all-state team.
Grantham, who averaged 18.3 points and 9.1 rebounds, had 20 and 17 in the win over Woodrow Wilson.
"It's an honor to be on that list with a lot of great players" Grantham said. "We all kind of know each other through Twitter and stuff. I know a lot of these guys from AAU. It's a pretty huge honor to be picked the captain of that great group of players."
Grantham , a repeat first-teamer, in addition to leading his team to a state title, became the first Martinsburg player to finish with 1,000 career points and 500 career rebounds.
Nathan Adrian of Morgantown is also a repeat selection. Despite missing six games with an ankle injury, Adrian, who has already committed to West Virginia, averaged 20.5 points per game and 13.7 rebounds.
Chase Connor, who was a first-team Class AA selection last year, made first-team AAA team this time, after Shady Spring was reclassified to Triple-A in the fall.
He led Class AAA players in scoring with a 27 ppg average. He also averaged 6.4 assists.
George Washington's Luke Eddy was his team's top option all year and the senior responded with a 26.5 average.
Princeton guard Ryan Meadows capped a huge senior season by averaging 21.7 points, 5,4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
Wes Mitchem, who nearly led Parkersburg South to the Class AAA semifinals before it fell to Washington, also averaged a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds per game.
University's Travis Tomer averaged 17.6 points to round out the first team.
Ra'Shaud Kincaid (10 points, 8 assists) of Class AAA semifinalist South Charleston is captain of the second team. He is joined by Washington's Dominique Newman (15.7 ppg, 3.3 apg) Musselman's Trevon Wesco (19.1 ppg, 13.3 rpg, 3.7 apg), Woodrow Wilson's Andrew Johnson (15 ppg, 5 rpg, 6 apg) Huntington's Arick Nicks (19.5 ppg, 10.2 rpg), Lewis County's John Riley, (25.1 ppg, 14.2 rpg), Nitro's Angelo Sirianni (21.0 ppg) and Greenbrier East's Rondale Watson(21.6 ppg, 8 rpg, 3 apg, 3 spg).
Point Pleasant's Dillon McCarty captains the third team (17.1 ppg, 4 rpg, 4 apg, 3 spg) and is joined by Martinsburg's Jalen Lewis (15 ppg, 5 apg), Hedgesville's Juwan Powell (14.8 ppg), Washington's Kendell Smith (10.9 ppg, 9.4 rpg), South Charleston's A.D. Cunningham (13.6 ppg. 6 rpg), Preston's Jimmy Galusky (19.1, 4 rpg), Capital's Carrington Morris (19.5 ppg, 10.5 rpg) and Hurricane's Henry Sorsaia (14.7 ppg, 8.7 rpg).

Baseball All-Access: Kyle at the Bat
Kyle Raleigh was recruited to Ball State as a left-handed pitcher and only a lefty pitcher. After all, a six-foot-five lefty throwing in the high eighties is bound to turn some heads. But Raleigh never found a groove on the Ball Diamond mound, so he's making a much different kind of impact this spring.
Knowing his team would have a young offense in 2014, head coach Rich Maloney went searching for a veteran bat. Maloney asked if there was anybody on the team that could hit whom he was unaware of. That led to Raleigh showing his coach a video of himself hitting in a summer league game. The Cardinal's coach was impressed enough to give the pitcher a shot in fall ball...and that's just the start of it.
Raleigh is now hitting almost .380 in the last month with four homeruns. He blasted a three-run homer against Kent State in the series opener on Friday. To watch the entire rollercoaster of Raleigh's most successful senior season, click above to enter Ball State All-Access.


text: This is my new design, a hoody that's a Mobius, therefore, the Mobius Hoodius. A unique feature is the eyelet cast on. You can see the red braided strip in the middle, that is the cast on. As you can see it makes the spine of the Mobius look great and keeps the stockinette from rolling in. The pattern is available on Ravelry, just type in Mobius Hoodius.
