INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Sierra Nevada College is presenting an evening with Tim O'Brien on Friday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. on Patterson Lawn.O'Brien served as an infantryman with the U.S. Army in Vietnam and later worked as a national affairs reporter for The Washington Post. He first won acclaim in 1973 with a memoir about his war experiences, "If I Die in a Combat Zone," "Box Me Up" and "Ship Me Home." O'Brien's later novel in stories — "The Things They Carried" — received the National Magazine Award, and was named one of the twenty best books of the last quarter century by the New York Times. Its title refers to the things a soldier takes into combat, including physical items such as weapons, but also intangibles including fear, exhaustion, and memories.O'Brien received the National Book Award in Fiction in 1979 for his novel Going After Cacciato and also wrote Northern Lights (1975), Tomcat in Love (1998), July, July (2002) and In the Lake of the Woods, which was named the best novel of 1994 by Time Magazine.Most recently, O'Brien was honored with the 2012 Dayton Literary Peace Award, a lifetime achievement award carrying a $10,000.00 honorarium. This program is made possible by grant funding from the Library Services and Technology Act, the Nevada State Library and Archives, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and Nevada Humanities. The Community Read of The Things They Carried has been expanded this year to include the entire Incline Village/Crystal Bay community, with Incline Village High School students and local book groups reading the book and joining the discussion. Copies of the book are available at the Incline Village Public Library and Sierra Nevada College's Prim Library.In addition to the free presentation by Tim O'Brien on Friday, the author will hold a craft talk on writing with Brian Turner ($50) on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon in the Tahoe Center for Environmental Studies (TCES) room 139 at the college's campus.Please contact the SNC Registrar's Office to register for the Saturday morning workshop: Jane Rainwater at 775-881-7435 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Contact Librarian Betts Markle at email@example.com or visit www.sierranevada.edu/read to learn more.
Western Nevada College's compelling and provocative exhibition, Always Lost: A Meditation on War, will be on display through Sept. 23 at Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village's Prim Library, as part of SNC's Writers in the Woods series. The multimedia exhibit features poetry, prose, Pulitzer Prize-winning Iraq War combat photos (courtesy of The Dallas Morning News), and the Wall of the Dead, a photographic collage of the more than 6,500 American military personnel who have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.The exhibition originated in a creative writing class at WNC and has been on a national tour since 2010. Called "a national treasure" by one viewer, the exhibit has been invited to Washington, D.C., by members of the U.S. Senate. After the installation at SNC, the exhibit travels to Michigan Technological Institute and continues throughout the East and Midwest in 2013.Always Lost has evolved into a powerful meditation on the effects of war on each of us. It has become a sacred space in which to contemplate the personal costs and collective sacrifice of these particular conflicts, and consequently, of all wars. In the meantime, casualties continue to mount, and the Wall of the Dead continues to grow.To make a financial contribution to the traveling exhibition, contact the Western Nevada College Foundation at 775-445-3240, or visit www.wnc.edu/foundation or www.wnc.edu/always_lost.

on January 22, 2013 - 2:01 PM
ALBANY – Gov. Andrew Cuomo today proposed a sizeable increase in the state budget for the coming year, but said much of the increase is due to federal aid to help with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts and for implementation of a new national health insurance program.
The budget plan eliminates a budget gap of $1.35 billion, but still leaves nearly $10 billion in projected deficits in the next three years.
The governor said he would not raise taxes in his new budget. But the plan does call for a number of "revenue extenders," like continuation of a tax on utility companies that the administration said is worth over $500 million and a $24 million tire waste fee. Other revenues will come from $7 million in various "loophole closings," a favorite term used by governors instead of a tax increase.
The governor, in a speech this afternoon at a state theater near the Capitol, acknowledged a budget short on drama.
"It is not supposed to be traumatic. If the government is working and the government is working well, the budget is supposed to be simple," he told lawmakers.
But Cuomo's budget does call for 1,400 state worker job cuts, flat state aid to cities, towns and villages, and a series of mostly modest economic development programs.
For Buffalo, the governor's budget calls for a $100 million in job creation efforts, part of his previous vow of $1 billion for Western New York.
Related: Cuomo proposes education funding ideas
The precise plan for the spending was not immediately available this afternoon, but it includes $75 million in new capital spending and $25 million in tax breaks to lure and retain companies.
Also in the budget is the financial deal to keep the Buffalo Bills for at least the next seven years: $60 million, including $54 million in stadium renovations.
The modest economic development programs, a likely bow to the state's deficit and the continuing sour national and state economy, include a $5 million statewide marketing effort. That is far less than what a special interest committee with ties to Cuomo spent promoting the governor's agenda.
Another program Cuomo has touted – "innovation hot spots'' – to link companies with universities will be funded at just $1.25 million in the beginning.
Overall, the state budget will total $142.6 billion, up sharply from last year's budget of $133.4 million.
About $6 billion of that is labeled "extraordinary'' federal aid, mostly in the form of Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts.
The governor, in his third budget since taking office, sought to portray a state government more settled.
"The budget process is no longer traumatic…After a period of severe instability, the state's finances are on solid footing,'' according to a budget briefing book released by the administration this afternoon.
The budget, though, is silent on a number of major mandate relief efforts sought by municipalities, school districts and business groups as a way to help cut expenses and lower property tax bills.
The plan does seek to allow localities to tap into long-term expected savings from a new pension tier enacted last year for new government workers. It was not immediately certain how these new savings could be "locked in'' to prevent big spikes local governments can see in their pension contributions for employees.
The Cuomo budget proposes $434 million in state agency cuts, which would coming from job losses, agency mergers and the closing of two state prisons – in Manhattan and Dutchess County.
A $50 million venture capital program to encourage location of start-up companies will be funded mostly through the New York Power Authority and the state's main economic development agency.
In setting up a battle with Republicans who partially control the Senate, Cuomo put his plan to raise the minimum wage – from $7.25 per hour to $8.75 – into the budget plan. New York governors, thanks to a series of court decisions and language in the state constitution, have relatively great budget powers compared to other states. Legislators cannot, for instance, change the language in legislation he proposes today, giving less incentive for Cuomo to negotiate certain provisions if lawmakers care about getting a budget done by the March 31 deadline.
The governor will also make it easier to add to the number of locations offering Quick Draw, a lottery game treatment experts call especially addictive. It comes as he also wants to add up to seven new casinos in the state.
The governor's budget also proposes to extend the current $5 million tax credit for certain historic property rehabilitation projects. He vetoed a bill in December, which developers said would mostly benefit downtown Buffalo and other upstate communities, to increase the credit to $12 million per project.
On school funding, the governor's plan increases overall education spending by 4.4 percent, or $889 million, to $20.8 billion. The main school funding formula will grow by 3 percent. It will also require districts to have in place another new round of teacher and principal evaluation systems by September 1 this year or they will lose any increase in state aid. That is four months earlier than districts had under the new program to strike a deal with teachers unions by last week or lose the aid increase.
Major education initiatives the governor outlined in his State of the State will also be funded at modest levels. His call for all-day pre-kindergarten, to be located in poorer districts, will be funded at $25 million. And a program to extend the school year or school day will get just $20 million in grants in a competitive program awarded to certain schools that increase learning time by at least 25 percent in a day or year.
He is also proposing $11 million to fund $15,000 annual stipends for teachers – in the beginning to target math and science teachers – who are highly qualified enough to train other teachers.

MORGANTOWN - John Skinner, a semi-retired longtime attorney in his native Charles Town, was a standout linebacker on West Virginia University's football team in 1960-62.
He was recruited by Art "Pappy" Lewis but played all three varsity years for Gene Corum. The Mountaineers posted records of 0-8-2, 4-6 and 8-2.
Skinner is listed in WVU football records as a center, but he actually was a defensive player who saw hardly any action at all on offense. He had played both ways as a center and linebacker at Charles Town High School.
Article Photos
He was credited with making 134 tackles at WVU, including 69 solo stops. He also intercepted three passes, according to sketchy statistics.
Skinner, now 70, was named winner of the Louis Maisel Award as the senior with the team's highest academic average in 1962.
He received his bachelor's degree in the spring of 1963 and then earned his law degree before leaving the university.
Like others in collegiate football during that period, Skinner didn't care for the stringent NCAA limited substitution rule.
He explained, "On first and fourth downs, you could substitute two new players. Otherwise, if you were out during a quarter, you could not go back in.
"So most teams, including West Virginia, substituted for the quarterback and could add another player who usually was one of the backs."
As a sophomore, Skinner sprained an ankle and missed the season's first three games. Then he broke his left leg in the seventh game (Penn State). He played in all 10 games as a junior. More injuries followed in his senior year when he was able to play in six games.
Skinner admittedly enjoyed playing football for Corum.
"He was a great guy to play for," he said. "He truly was a gentleman and was a great sport.
"He was certainly a gentleman in his coaching, and he stuck strictly to the rules. A very nice guy."
Skinner, who still attends WVU home football and basketball games, thinks there's hardly any comparison between college football today and when he played.
"The players are so much bigger, so much stronger and so much faster," said Skinner, who was six feet tall and a mere 206 pounds in the 1960s. "Players of the two different periods wouldn't be in the same league."
He doesn't think coaches back then really appreciated the value of weightlifting, etc.
Skinner is a past president of the WVU Alumni Association and also had served as a member of its board. In addition, he still belongs to Mountain, the school's ranking honorary.
John and the former Susan Gibson met while students at WVU and have been married 46 years. They have three grown children and five grandchildren, with a sixth expected very soon.
Like father, sons Stephen and Andrew are practicing law in Charles Town, and daughter Sally Skinner is a free lance writer in New York City.
Stephen is a WVU law graduate and Andrew is a William & Mary College alumnus and got his law degree from the University of Texas.
Sally attended both Princeton and Oxford.

Today I'd like to introduce you to another piece of new technology from Microsoft Research Labs – Image Composite Editor (ICE) with Multi-Image Fusion. In the current version of ICE, it provides advanced features for panoramic stitching such as choosing the stitch's orientation, custom projection, and selecting a 360 stitch's mid-point, and this tool also integrates nicely as a plug-in into Windows Live Photo Gallery. Here we'll show you some of the upcoming new features in ICE such as:
Oops, something didn't work.
Just extrapolating this, forgive me, but stills from video > Photosynth > point cloud > 3D mesh > automatons with cheap camera eyes > robots that understand their spacial environment in great detail > autopiloted vehicles > world domination.
Seriously, and a little digressively, this and the other work in 3D interpretation of a scene has huge potential in remote control systems and orientation of automated devices. Does NASA have this kind of technology in the Mars rover?
The last fragment is out of place. Was this a find-what's-wrong test?
Looks like the new build isn't available for download yet, or am I looking in the wrong place? I only see the one from 2008.
Is there a new build of this or not. I love ICE. I am using the 2008 build now. Unless this is considered "new technology" now.
Don't get me wrong; I like what I see, but the multi image fusion has certainly been done before. I remember seeing Lowry Digital demonstrate the idea some time ago. The difference is, of course, that their services are not quite a free download from Microsoft away.
I'm going to have to agree with Sialivi and Intelman on the download front. Places I've fruitlessly looked at so far include:
Please ping me back when ICE 2.0 is ready for download. @natelawrence
Also, please try to get a nice clean high res shot of the URL to that beta version of the Photosynth site.
Maybe if I can ever download ICE 2.0, I can run the image sequence from this video through and recover the URL through all the low-res grain and overexposure on the address bar.
Sorry about the confusion on the new version of ICE. TechFest was last week so we showed it off a little early. Yes there is a new version coming very soon. Please check back again in a few more days ...
I like it a lot.
Cool. I discovered this last September (older version) - promptly took my camera up to the Malverns Hills, shot a panarama, came back, stitched it using ICE, was bowled over, promptly went out and bought a new camera with a better zoom!
OK, so I havn't been up the Malverns again yet (actually I have but not to the right spot -but you really wanted to know that).
Here is my initial stitch, I will post an improved one with the new camera, (hopefully soon).
http://FromTheMalverns.com/ICE" target="_">http://FromTheMalverns.com/ICE
I'm hoping to incorporate these shots into http://FromTheMalverns.com - the one above is taken from roughly the same spot as the initial shot - taken 75 years ago!
PS From what I understand you can now buy a unit for your SLR that will take the panaramic shots for you, all carefully calibrated to overlap by just the right amount!?
PPS I was at the imaging event yesterday (see here) Microsoft should have been there with this and their other photo related tools. I'm quite sure there would have been a lot of interest!
Where's the link ! I wanna play with your toys
Comment removed at user's request.
Is msr working on normalizing audio on so that the audio doesn't come out like it does in this video? Lara was extremely loud compared to the two researchers. If I turned up the volume to hear the researchers Lara became really loud.
I know when ripped some cds back in the day there was a option to normalize, I guess that is what I'm talking about?
Maybe this technology already exists it just wasn't used on this video prior to publishing?

By Brad Davidzik
On Jan. 2, 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will begin monitoring debt collection agencies. As stated by the Dodd-Frank Act, the bureau will oversee collection agencies with revenues of more than $10 million each year for collection of personal, family or household debt, and overdue student loans.
It will check violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act such as making repeated phone calls, threatening debtors with prison, calling family members or calling debtors at work.
Although this is a step in the right direction, the actual number of agencies under scrutiny will be limited. Only those collecting more than $10 million a year, plus some smaller agencies contracted to larger financial institutions such as banks, will be affected. Out of the approximately 4,500 debt collection companies in the country, about 175 have receipts of more than $10 million. The bureau will only scratch the surface of this problem.
While larger agencies have their share of violations, it's the smaller operations that commit the most egregious and outrageous violations. Larger agencies tend to have compliance officers and attorneys, plus, they better prepare their employees with procedures and policy manuals.
The collection industry is an extremely competitive field – to survive, employees have to prove they can collect – and it's those who collect the most that get the best accounts to work on and who make the most money.
It appears to me that success in the collection business comes a lot more easily if you bend the rules. Employees of small firms, who are not trained or supervised as thoroughly as those at larger firms, tend to violate the act with much greater frequency.
In 2011 the Federal Trade Commission, which handles complaints regarding violations of the act, recorded more than 180,000 complaints, an increase of 13,950 from 2000. Yet ACA International, a trade group representing collection agencies, is pushing back against the bureau's oversight, saying the regulations are arbitrary and the $10 million threshold is too low – it should be $250 million.
Raising the threshold to $250 million would cut the number of firms under scrutiny to such a small portion of the industry, it would render the bureau's efforts almost useless.
If the bureau is going to be effective, more than the top 175 out of 4,500 debt collectors should come under its oversight.
The Dodd-Frank Act is a good start, but regulators need to go further to help consumers who suffer harassment at the hands of debt collectors.
Brad Davidzik is an attorney with Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys at Law, which handles bankruptcy, disability, personal injury and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act cases.

I was mesmerized by this simple but cool Microsoft Surface demo at last fall's Convergence conference in Copenhagen. Lachlan Cash was kind enough to let me post the video here as a great example of how touch can transform visualization and manipulation of complex line-of-business information.
The demo during Kirill Tatarinov's keynote session shows top-down heat-map visualization of the bins in a warehouse. The color-coding gives an immediate view into the status of the warehouse with blue showing cold (i.e. bins with low pick rates) and red showing hot (i.e. bins with high pick rates). Multi-touch is fully supported on Surface allowing multiple warehouse staff to collaborate while manipulating the data to optimize the warehouse for fast picking.
It's not clear to me that we'll see many Surface devices in warehouses as that's not the initial target market. On the other hand, as Kirill mentions at the end, this type of innovation gets much more interesting with the new Windows Touch technology in Windows 7. I can just imagine 60-inch multi-touch displays becoming the control centers of warehouses in the not so distant future. I hope that this sparks some ideas for how you might use touch in your line-of-business applications using either the Microsoft Surface or Windows 7.
Oops, something didn't work.

IGN says the story is wanting but gameplay is so good they gave it a 9.3. Also said PC versions looks so much better get it if you have a choice, which is kinda duh since its GFWL and great gamepad support, but that confirms the PC port is good unless someone has seen something bad about it?
Since I can't get the $20 rewards with PC version at BB, I think I'll sell my 360 copy after reading that. Between BB preorder special DLC, the $20/ in rewards, I should easily make some money on it,and just get the PC version first good sale I see.
Good idea. I think i am with you on this.

Its is FAR more complete an OS and dynamic than the walled garden IOS approach.
quote: Can you imagine a real OS that only supports a couple of different resolutions and only when doubling the initial release. That would be like MS Windows only supporting 640x480 and 1280x960. Nope, sorry, that is the only options. LOL IOS cant even deal with a different res and you think its a superior OS?

The July 2nd market can be confusing to a newcomer, so let me explain some of the basics. While Canadian, Puerto Rican and American players can be drafted at age 17 or 18, once they graduate high school, players from other countries can be signed once they turn 16. Some countries like Japan and Mexico have professional systems nearly every player goes through but most countries want their players to sign MLB contracts as soon as possible.
July 2nd is the day you can start signing the 16-year-old players and anyone that turns 16 until August 31st is eligible in that class. Any player that was previously eligible in a past July 2nd period is a free agent, so players aged 17 to 22 frequently sign throughout the year, particularly from Latin countries. International players that are released are also immediately free agents and frequently will re-sign with other teams.
The Dominican Republic and Venezuela are the two most prolific countries for the July 2 market, with the Dominican producing over three times as many signees as Venezuela in recent years due to the saturation of baseball into the Dominican culture. Given the distance to travel and some safety and political issues, the Dominican has become the center of Latin amateur baseball rather than Venezuela. It's common now for players from many other Latin countries to move to the Dominican to train with agents and buscones to be seen more frequently by more teams.
All 30 MLB teams have academies in the Dominican, whether they own them or rent them, and the academies house anywhere from 30 to 100 players along with staff. The players are trained here most of the year and play in the Dominican Summer League (DSL) for their MLB club to gauge their readiness to come to America to play in the more advanced minor leagues. Many organizations have two DSL teams and some clubs will sign upwards of 30 players a year from Latin countries, with an average bonus budget in recent years around $1.5 million to $2.0 million dollars per team with 12-15 signees per year most common.
Bonuses range from as low as $1,000 for older players signed just to fill holes on DSL clubs to the all-time bonus record coming in 2011 when the Texas Rangers gave Dominican OF Nomar Mazara $4.95 million. There are typically 10-15 million dollar bonuses per year with a top bonus around $3 million most years. This could change some now as last year MLB instituted bonus spending limits for each team for the first time and this year each team gets a different bonus limit based on their 2012 MLB record.
This market began to exist in the late 1980's and early 1990's and some All-Stars have signed over the years first at ages as late as 20 for bonuses as low as $10,000. As the market has gotten more advanced and every team has gotten involved, the efficiency has greatly stepped up and now the best MLB players typically sign for at least mid six figure bonuses.
Essentially every Latin baseball player you've heard of has gone through this process and it's in the DNA of the Dominican Republic. At a recent event put on by MLB in San Cristobal, Joe Torre came as an ambassador and was joined by Pedro Martinez and San Cristobal mayor/former 1994 NL Rookie Of The Year Raul Mondesi. A few days later, I was at a mall named after Sammy Sosa.
Jorge Arangure and I detail this process in greater detail on this week's Marginal Prospects podcast, going up later in the week
This Season
I went to the Dominican back in January to see the big multi-day showcase MLB organized for the top July 2nd prospects. This made it very easy for American-based scouts to come down during a slow part of the scouting schedule to crosscheck most of the top players. There were also a number of private workouts held by agents and clubs with all the scouting heat in town and the two main prospect leagues (Dominican and International—DPL & IPL) also held multi-day events.
I got second and third looks at some of those players this week when the DPL toured through Florida spring training sites and this week I'll be rolling out reports and a podcast focusing on Latin baseball and July 2nd. For now, I'll run down some thoughts, buzz and rumors from the market.
- In January, nearly all the scouts I talked to said the top of the market was down from recent years and also a little muddled. Usually he first question I get asked is if there's a Miguel Sano, Gary Sanchez, Felix Hernandez or other super elite prospect and there isn't one this year.
- Scouts do seem optimistic about next year and I did see a handful of promising 2014 prospects but it's still incredibly early. I talked to one scout about a 2014 that stood out at the DPL showcase and he then noted the player that stood out in the same event last year isn't a high profile guy now. At the ages of 14 to 16 years old, so much physical development can happen that reports change on a weekly basis, very different even than American high school prospects at 17 and 18 years old.
- Scouts didn't want to tip their hands completely and tell me their whole pref list, but the consensus was that of the nearly all of the known top players were at these events. That isn't saying much for me seeing all the players that will get top bonuses on July 2nd given the age, uncertainty and despite recent strides by MLB, disorganization and decentralization of the talent. There will be popup guys and I've heard about at least one notable Central American talent that will be a big dollar guy but the vast majority of the top talents tend to come from the Dominican and Venezuela, which are scouted most heavily and accounted for almost every July 2nd player I've seen.
- This is the second year of MLB imposing spending limits internationally. Last year, every team was limited to a uniform $2.9 million and this year the amounts are staggered by the 2012 MLB standings. Like the draft slot values, the whole list won't be public until very close to the signing date, but the top few teams are up around $4 million and the bottom teams are in the $1.5 million to $2.0 million range. Teams can trade for up to 50% of their assigned cap spending figure from other clubs and, as you might expect, the clubs with the highest pools (same as top picks in the draft, so Houston, the Cubs, Colorado, Minnesota, Cleveland, etc.) stand to gain the most.
- To that end, Houston currently has the hammer in terms of bonus pool money and their max possible pool money could get over $7 million. Rumors are flying about Houston given this advantage, since they can essentially pick whomever they want to sign and every scout knows this. The Astros could choose a more restrained approach as they did in their first draft with a big pool of money and sign a number of mid-range players, but the situation is different. The difference is in the 2012 draft, the Astros had over $11.1 million but over 65% of that money ($7.2 million) was allocated to the first overall pick. To have any flexibility to spend the $11.1 million, the Astros had to go well under slot at #1. They already have the freedom to spend as they please with whatever amount of money they end up with as their bonus pool this season, so anything is possible.

This weekend is the 4th of July… the day when (at least in my area) guys and gals dress down in their trunks and bikinis, hop on a bike, and head down to the beach or pool for a good ol' fashioned barbeque to celebrate our American ancestors. For many of you, this may be the first time you don a bathing suit for the year. You'll have to fish it out of the higher-up drawer, dust it off, and test the fit to see what works and where. For those of you who make it a point to stay "in fashion" when it comes to your aquatic ensemble, I have some good news… you may not have to buy anything new this year.
The look in womens suits (and for some ballsy dudes, mens too) right now is retro cut and prints. If your mother was Jackie O or a Jane Smith with impeccable, ahead-of-her-time style, you may bypass the mall and go shopping for your Summer 2009 suit in mom's closet. One-piece and skirt cut styles like the Michael Kors shown here [photo above] are popping up everywhere from Rodeo Drive to Target Stores. If you're concerned that you can't look good without showing more skin, you're wrong. I for one think one-pieces are smart, sexy, and very underutilized… and I love it when the lady penguins pull them out of winter storage.
Retro swimwear means colors and prints from yesteryear just as much as it means fit and styling. The bright yellows are hot for summer, and I think I might be blinded by polka dot prints by September. The Kors piece above is touching on a more carefree 1950s feel [small photo above], but the current trend isn't really limited to any particular era. We're seeing one and two piece suits mimicking the 1970s and early 1980s look that tacked Farrah Fawcett's poster up on every guys bedroom wall (or igloo wall).
This look [see Farrah Fawcett, above right] worked as well for Daisy Duke in Hazard County as it did for Hef's ladies at the Mansion throughout the 70s … and it's back! I'm excited, how about you? Solid color one pieces, very few prints or patterns, solely relying on cut and shape for the sex appeal that a suit should have. The suit here [see Urban Outfitters model, left] is a great example of this. The high thigh cut and leotard mid-section screams "Fame! I wanna live forever!" 1980… and the deep neckline and elongated triangle straps give it just enough exposure (or promise of the possibility for it) to be ultra sexy. So, go diggin' through the boxes in mama's garage and find yourself a suit for summer!

That's what DH just said to me.
I'll admit I didn't really have any clear visions of what marriage would be like but I sure as hell didn't think it would include this!!
I have bad bruises all over my body, especially bad on my ribs and back of my thighs, from a fall onto a fence a few days ago. Moving around hurts. DH keep forgetting I'm hurt because the bruises are under my clothes, so he keeps grabbing me, pushing me, hugging me etc, inflicting a lot of unnecessary pain accidentally.
He just rolled me over in the bed and I screamed in pain, then jokingly told him I'd punch him in the spine as soon a he falls asleep, to even the score. I figured spine is fair, he has a herniated disc, so it'd be kinda even to what he's doing to me. He said he took a long nap so he's not going to sleep anytime soon. I said that I'm always up till 2 or 3 am and he'll be long asleep by then.
That's when he said THAT^^^

I just had to meet him.
How could I not want to meet the guy with the "Voters Reniged" sign in his front yard to protest the re-election of the black president?
Sure, this is the region that backed the gubernatorial candidate who forwarded racist emails about the president and first lady. But that was done privately in "post-racial" America.
This was different. This was public.
So I had to meet him.
Driving up Center Street in the Town of Aurora, I passed the high school and couldn't help but wonder about the town these kids are growing up in, where such a display is tolerated.
If they ride past this sign every day, what kinds of employers, lenders and real estate agents will they turn out to be?
As I passed American flags and Christmas decorations – and at least two lawn jockeys – it occurred to me that maybe the sign just didn't stand out in Aurora.
But it stood out when I saw it.
A large American flag flew from the front porch, above the front-yard evergreen adorned with Christmas lights. The scene was downright Rockwellian. Almost.
Standing outside the side door with its "Land of the free because of the brave" window sticker, I suddenly had the fleeting feeling that this might not be such a good idea after all. Something told me he might be a gun owner.
"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" could quickly turn into "Mississippi Burning," but I had to ring the bell.
His wife was pleasant and said the sign isn't racist, even though she'd urged him to spell "renege" correctly.
She said that the guy down the road – quoted in a Buffalo News article – was the only one who has complained and that most people had no problem with it.
As we talked, a guy drove by in a pickup and honked in support. She noted proudly that the sign had been a topic on "The Rush Limbaugh Show."
Then Joseph L. Shimburski pulled into the driveway.
It didn't take long for the 78-year-old National Fuel retiree to tick off policy grievances that could more than justify opposing President Obama on ideological grounds: the Keystone pipeline, Benghazi, Solyndra, the auto bailout.
He was candid on every issue except the real one: If it's purely about policy and not about race, why use an "i" instead of the "e"?
"That's not even a word," he said. "What can they complain about?"
I asked him about working with blacks at the utility; he named some friends. What would they think?
"They can think what they want," he said. "It's a free country."
Then he added, "I've gotten more comments for it than against it."
Shimburski is just your ordinary American. No white hoods or midnight meetings, just an attitude that people don't acknowledge – perhaps even to themselves – as long as they can name a black friend.
I stuck out my hand. He removed a work glove and shook it.
"Have a good one," he said, not knowing how difficult he had made it.
Pulling out of the driveway, I took a last look at the roadside sign.
On the way out of Aurora, I passed the high school again and got a slight glimmer of hope. Instead of passing the sign, most of the yellow buses returning to school were headed in the other direction.

Apparently, Congress can get something accomplished.
With good reason, we've been hard on Congress for the failure of lawmakers to work together constructively to solve problems. But this past week, we saw senators and representatives from both parties work together to ensure funding for efforts to clear the city's water of soot and ash after last year's High Park fire.
Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Colorado Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall spearheaded the fight for the funding. They initially fought for the mitigation money in a disaster relief bill for Hurricane Sandy, but the funding was excluded in the final version.
Last week, however, President Obama signed into law a bill that includes $65.5 million for the Emergency Watershed Protection program, which will help Colorado communities recovering from last summer's devastating Waldo Canyon and High Park fires.
We don't yet know how much of the money will go toward the High Park areas — where city of Greeley water officials have been working since last summer to mitigate the damage to water supplies caused by the fire — but it looks like the number will be between $8.5 million and $10.5 million.
That money will make a huge difference and could pay for nearly the entire cost of the mitigation efforts. If the money hadn't been approved, water officials would have would have had to prioritize which areas got the most mitigation, and may have had to raise rates for water users to pay for the effort.
All three lawmakers deserve our thanks for their work on this funding, but Gardner deserves a special thanks.
With his background in agriculture, Gardner has a clear understanding of the importance of water in this region. He used that knowledge, and a dogged determination, to raise the alarm early and convince others in Congress that spending the money was right thing to do.
We're glad his work was successful.

Oh, to thrive in politics like Sen. Mark Grisanti of Buffalo.
That's how political dreamers view the Democrat-turned-Republican these days as he continues to defy the most daunting of odds.
And why not? In 2010, Grisanti switched to the GOP and took on Democratic incumbent Antoine Thompson. He barely squeaked by, and many observers still contend the controversial Thompson lost that contest more than Grisanti won. But for crying out loud, he won – in a 5-to-1 Democratic district.
Fast forward to 2012, when Senate Democrats smelled blood in Western New York. Sen. Mike Gianaris of Queens, who heads campaign efforts for Senate Dems, proclaimed the Grisanti seat the top priority in all of New York. A Democratic district should have a Democratic senator, Gianaris said.
But Erie County Democrats, being who they are, couldn't help themselves. They staged a lively primary that turned the state's top Democratic priority into a big mess, and Republican Grisanti skipped into re-election.
But for all the envy some political observers hold for Grisanti, the senator still faces a problem – the next election. In fact, Grisanti will always face a problem as long as he's a Republican in a Democratic district.
That's why the Politics Column has learned some in Grisanti's inner circle are urging him to use this high-flying time to contemplate his future. Sources close to the situation say advisers like Sen. George Maziarz of Newfane and former Niagara County GOP Chairman Henry Wojtaszek continue to urge Grisanti to stick with the Republicans. They and others reason that Grisanti has done it before, and can do it again.
But this year, the senator finds himself in a particular political pickle on issues like hiking the minimum wage, which Republican colleagues will urge him to oppose. But the district remains overwhelmingly Democratic, and it will loom as a tough choice for Grisanti.
Ditto for Gov. Andrew Cuomo's upcoming proposal to expand abortion rights in New York. Most Republican senators will most likely oppose it, raising another dilemma in a Democratic district (though Grisanti knows Buffalo remains a Catholic town, and legislative leaders traditionally allow their troops to vote their conscience on such issues).
Some are asking Grisanti why he would stick with the GOP when the most visible and vocal Republican in Western New York – 2010 gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino – beats him up every chance he gets. And so far, nobody in the local Republican establishment has stood up to Paladino on that score.
All of this leads others in Grisanti's inner circle to propose another way. According to several sources, former County Executive Joel Giambra – possibly the most influential of all Grisanti advisers – is counseling the senator to join a minor party like Independence.
The theory here, they say, is that Grisanti has carved out his own popular niche while proving he's a survivor. Democrats and Republicans would field their own candidates in future elections, allowing him to split the defense and run down the middle.
And once in Albany, Grisanti could caucus with whichever party he wants. That means Democrats, Republicans or – interestingly – the Independent Democratic Caucus that shares power with the Senate GOP.
There are other advantages. Grisanti could set himself up as the de facto local leader of the Independence Party, which has no Erie County structure and has lost much of its statewide influence in recent years.
Then, of course, there's always the possibility that former Democrat Grisanti could return home to the Dems. His recent votes favoring same-sex marriage and stricter gun control would seem welcome in the Democratic caucus, though another switcheroo would forever brand him with the label of Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Democrat, and all it brings.
Nothing from any of our sources says this will happen. Grisanti isn't talking. But it's under discussion, and fun to contemplate on a cold winter morning almost nine months before Election Day.

Pitching coach has been decided!
Pitching coach has been decided!
Great move by the Reds. Nothing to dislike about this.
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball - Jacques Barzun
seems pretty good
Brandon Webb could be in our sights. Not that we did this to get Brandon Webb but it certainly helps a bit I hope.
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball - Jacques Barzun
Bryan Price is a great a coach and is a very smart move from the Reds to develop this very young and talented staff.
Big thumbs up!
Az. picked up Webb's option already but would be a good try.
I'm not familiar with Price or his work, but this seems to be a pretty well received hire here and over on ORG.
I was pulling for Mario Soto, but this appears to be a quality get for the Reds.
"...kicks and deals, and it's right down Broadway"
2009 Attendance Record 1-2
2010 Attendance Record 3-1
2011 Attendance Record 2-0
2012 Attendance Record 6-2
Not that familair either, btiu what I am reading today looks like a good move for the Reds. Wil lbe interesting to see how Power, Soto feels about it.
UNC Tar Heels 2009 National Champions 5 time NCAA Champs
57, 82, 93, 05, 09
Go Heels!!!!!
I was under the impression that Soto wasn't all that interested in the position to begin with. Power, on the other hand, may feel a bit miffed about it.

If Mark Sanford's quest for redemption falls short in the 1st Congressional District race, he may well point to a stunning 24 hours as the turning point.
Sanford's promising chance at beating Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch in the Republican-leaning district began to fray at the edges Tuesday night when fresh details about his messy family life leaked out.
More unflattering information about his personal life emerged Wednesday, followed by a decision by the National Republican Congressional Committee to back away from the former two-term governor and ex-congressman.
There also was a report in The Washington Post that two of his sons were upset by his former mistress and current fiancee Maria Belen Chapur's appearance at a runoff victory celebration on April 2.
It all added up to renewed questions about how much Sanford has rehabilitated himself — and to a step backward for his campaign.
"It's certainly become a more competitive race in light of the events over the past 24 hours," said Gibbs Knotts, chairman of the College of Charleston political science department.
Richard Quinn, a veteran S.C. Republican political consultant, agreed that the revelations hurt Sanford.
"It is a Republican district, so he's still likely to win," Quinn told The Washington Post. "But because of his personal flaws he may not."
Lowcountry Republicans, such as former Charleston County GOP Chairman Mark Hartley, predicted that Sanford would prevail in the district that went for GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney by 18 points.
"People either have a positive or a negative view of him or, quite frankly, even a 'I'm-going-to-hold-my nose-and-vote-for-him-because-he-has-an-R behind-his-name,' " Hartley said of Sanford. "I don't see how this is going to impact one way or another."
The latest developments could damage Sanford's appeal to women, who make up 55 percent of the district's registered voters and who already viewed him less favorably than men.
Charm Altman of Charleston, president of the S.C. Federation of Republican Women, said the dirty laundry won't affect her support.
"We're not electing a saint; we're electing someone that's going to help government," she said. "His personal life is his personal life."
Sanford released a statement Wednesday attempting to explain what happened on the night of Feb. 3,, which was the subject of the news that broke Tuesday night.
He said he dropped by his ex-wife's home on Sullivan's Island that day to watch the Super Bowl with his 14-year-old son, who was home alone.
Jenny Sanford, who notified Sullivan's Island police in 2011 that Sanford previously trespassed on her property in violation of their divorce agreement, filed a complaint about the incident on March 23 in Family Court.
"I tried to reach her beforehand to tell her of the situation that had arisen, and met her at the back steps under the light of my cellphone when she returned and told her what had happened," Sanford said in a statement.
He declined further comment except to say he was "particularly curious" how records that were sealed became exposed. The Sanfords' divorce agreement has been sealed, but other court filings are public record.
The file shows that the Sanfords have sparred at least three times before — over a missed $5,000 child-support payment; over insurance on the Sanford family's Beaufort County farm; and whether Sanford violated the part of their agreement specifying "no airplanes will be flown at the children" at the farm.
Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press that the child-support payment issue was resolved. Neither Sanford's spokesman, Joel Sawyer, nor Jenny Sanford's attorney, Deena Smith McRackan, would comment on the airplane allegation.
Asked about the Feb. 3 trespassing incident during a campaign stop Wednesday at Mount Pleasant's Boulevard Diner, Colbert Busch's response was nearly identical to what she previously said when asked about Sanford's 2009 extramarital affair and his subsequent ethics violations.
"What we're going to do is we're going to focus on the job creation, the message to the district, the possible opportunities in the district," she said. "We're going to stay focused on the positive, and we're going to move to (the election on) May 7."
Sanford faces a Family Court appearance two days after the election.
Meanwhile, the Post reported that one of the Sanfords' sons met Chapur for the first time during Sanford's April 2 GOP primary runoff victory celebration at a Mount Pleasant restaurant. Two of his sons, including 14-year-old Bolton, were at the event.
Jenny Sanford confirmed to the Post in a text message, "That was indeed Bolton's first intro and both boys were quite upset and visibly so."
As more of Sanford's personal life became public Wednesday, the National Republican Congressional Committee pulled the plug on the candidate, saying it won't spend any more money on his behalf.
"Mark Sanford has proven he knows what it takes to win elections," said Andrea Bozek, an NRCC spokeswoman.
The NRCC had spent relatively little to date, and Knotts said its decision may have more symbolic importance than anything else.
"Sanford is potentially one of 435 members of the House," Knotts said. "If that group gets too far behind Sanford, is this going to ultimately damage the Republican brand?"
The House Majority PAC, a Democratic Super PAC, said Wednesday it has begun airing an "Air Sanford" ad highlighting his travel and ethics fines and plans to spend more than $100,000 on the race.
Sanford's campaign also aired its first negative ad of the campaign, a TV spot highlighting Colbert Busch's donations from labor unions.

Target has red shirts, Best Buy has blue shirts, J.C. Penney employees are about to join their ranks
J.C. Penney employees will be wearing a uniform soon. There's no official word yet, but store employees are being issued two shirts each.
Employees can wear their choice of pants. (Or a skirt, I suppose. I'll ask.) I don't know the color yet, heard it's maybe a checked pattern. The shirts have long sleeves.
Penney employees will be joining the ranks of Apple, Target and Best Buy counterparts who wear company designated shirts with khakis or jeans.
Target employees are required to wear red shirts, but the tops don't appear to be company issued, just red. Macy's employees were required to wear all black at one time. And Best Buy employees are often referred to as "blue shirts."
Some Penney employees said the shirts aren't comfortable, especially when stocking merchandise.
Penney likely will say it's good customer service for shoppers to be able to easily identify employees in the stores. CEO Ron Johnson pretty much wears jeans and a shirt most days. He wears sweaters and jeans on cold days.

COLUMBIANA - In the midst of an investigation into false attendance data, the state has released limited preliminary report cards to school districts.
Superintendent Don Mook went over the results with the board last week, and compared students'achievement in social studies, math, science, writing and reading to other districts in Columbiana and Mahoning counties. Testing results compared were for students in grades 3-11.
According to the results the district ranked first, second or third in each subject compared to other districts in the county.
Subjects in which students excelled when compared to others in the county were third grade math, fifth grade reading and math, sixth grade reading and math, seventh grade math, eighth grade reading and 10th and 11th grade writing.
Students excelled in both counties in fifth grade reading and math and sixth, seventh and 10th grade math.
Mook said he included the Mahoning County results since the district has residents living in both counties.
The Ohio Department of Education released a statement on its website that the remainder of the report card data will be released at a later date pending the progress of an investigation by state Auditor David Yost into the alleged irregularities of student attendance reported by local districts.
The data yet to be released includes the district's overall rating, attendance rate, and performance index.
In other business, the board approved the following:
- Michael Cunningham, Derek McElhaney, Alyssa Gwirtz, Bryce Bezdek and Amy Cannon as substitute teachers and Bruce Kalina and Barbara Miller as substitute support staff.
- One-year supplemental contracts for Alana Kady, Trisha Nord, Holly Ferguson and Rae Ann Gorby.
- Evan Hill, Matthew Liggett, Stephanie Baylor, Elizabeth Coffey and Kenneth Shea as volunteers.
- Transferring Neely Jack from the 4.5 hour per day Joshua Dixon Elementary cook position to the 5.25 hour per day elementary cook position and vacating the former position, effective Oct. 1.
- A salary change for Jennifer Fry, high school intervention specialist.
- An HVAC Time and Materials Service Agreement with Gardiner Trane Co. for the elementary, middle and high schools at a cost of $7,488, including 96 labor hours a year, with additional hours to be billed at $78 per hour. The contract is effective from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2013.
- Sunday May 26 as the 2013 commencement date.
- A roof maintenance contract with Boak and Sons Inc. for this school year at a cost of $4,836 for the middle and high school. The price included labor, material and supervision to complete two inspections per year and maintenance repair work.
- A contract with Transit Service for bus maintenance and repair as needed for this school year at a cost of $55 per hour.
- The Ohio Schools Council cooperative purchasing program membership (including AEPA) for fiscal year 2013 at a cost of $200 per district plus 18 cents per pupil, with an additional fee of $2,800 for 20 hours use of the Legal Hotline Program.
The next meeting was set for 6:30 p.m. Nov. 6 in the high school media center.

1/4 cup Eden Sauerkraut, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
