Fifty years have passed since the Second Vatican Council, commonly known as Vatican II. The effects of Vatican II still resonate in the day-to-day life of Catholics today.
"Vatican II really was what John XXIII said, open the doors and let the fresh air in," said the Rev. John Manno, of Our Lady of Lourdes in Montoursville. "As a pre-Vatican II seminarian and a post-Vatican II priest, I loved that it brought me closer to my ministry with the laity. The laity was the sleeping giant and it was woken and released."
Before Vatican II, "priests did everything," Manno said. Today, laypeople have a far more active role in the Roman Catholic Church.
"It was quite remarkable to return to the ancient tradition where laypeople have an active role, where there's a permanent diaconate," said the Rev. Glenn McCreary, of the Church of the Resurrection in Muncy. "Fifty years ago the only deacons were those preparing to be priests. In our diocese the chancellor now is a laywoman."
Pope John XXIII convened the council in Oct. 1962, telling the assorted bishops in his opening address that the "truths, which are contained in our time-honored teaching, is one thing; the manner in which these truths are set forth with their meaning preserved intact is something else."
The decree on the apostolate of the laity, one of 16 documents that was ratified by the council's bishops, said that those who "live in the midst of the world and its concerns, they are called by God to exercise their apostolate in the world like leaven, with the ardor of the spirit of Christ."
"It brought in more conscious participation. We still have to work on that," Manno said. "But before, the joke goes people were supposed to 'pray, pay and obey.' We never heard of social justice when I was in seminary. A lot of things I've gotten involved in (this) town wouldn't have been done by a priest before."
After Vatican II, churches could recite the liturgy in their native tongue, rather than the traditional Latin.
"Going into the vernacular, that was the big change," Manno said. "No one really knew what was going on before."
"There was a new openness to the role of scripture, that scripture could be examined in the light of history with textual criticism," said Dan Doyle, a member of Church of the Resurrection. "Those of you who come out of the Protestant tradition say, duh, of course, but that was a big change prior to that the average layperson thought you go to Mass for Eucharist, not for scripture."
"The change in ritual part, some people had a very tough time with that," Manno said. "They felt it was very transcendent."
"Non-Catholics can now know what's going on," McCreary said. "They would have simply been present before."
The council broadened the church's definition of the people of God.
"Those who don't have knowledge of God or Christ but who seek are considered God's people," McCreary said. "There's a really broad sense of what the people of God is. The council urges us to be embracing."

Will republicans ever learn?
Well you republicans got your collective butts handed to you on election day, and yet your party leadership is still riding the stupid train. This nation is so divided that we are destined to fall unless we all start acting like adults and get to work in a spirit of compromise. It's time to remove religion from politics, a seperation of church and state is sorely needed. The removal of special interest groups and thier bags of money need to go. The insider trading that is illegal for the general public but commonplace in the halls of congress needs to stop. We need term limits in congress. In early America it was the Carnegies, Rockefellers, and Morgans that ran the country, now it's the Koch brothers and a handfull of secret rich people that meet in the woods every year.

Rich Abrahamson/The Fort Collins Coloradoan
FORT COLLINS � After another big game by Derek Carr, the Fresno State quarterback had some words of thanks for his defense and running game.
Carr threw four touchdown passes, including two to Davante Adams, and Fresno State shut down Colorado State until the final moments for a 28-7 victory Saturday night.
�They�re my best friend � my defense and my running game,� Carr said. �They help out so much when they give us a short field. It makes it a lot easier.�
Safety Phillip Thomas helped set up two scores with a forced fumble and his NCAA-leading sixth interception of the season, and Robbie Rouse added 124 yards rushing on 26 carries for Fresno State (4-2, 2-0 Mountain West). A fourth-down stop on defense and a deflected punt preceded Fresno State�s two other touchdowns.
Carr finished 25 of 39 for 217 yards.
�We come out every week with the mindset that we�re going to win the game for us,� Thomas said of his defense after Fresno State chalked up its first road win of the season.
�We love the pressure being on our shoulders, and you see in the way we play: We�re fast, physical and fanatical,� Thomas said.
�We get after the ball. We force turnovers. The offense is going to bail us out one of these games. But they�re doing exactly what they need to do, and we�re doing what we need to do, getting stops and getting off the field.�
Colorado State (1-5, 0-2) lost its fifth consecutive since a season-opening win over in-state rival Colorado. The Rams had a first-quarter score nullified by a penalty and saw two chances at interceptions slip through their fingers.
M.J. McPeek was 15 of 29 for 192 yards in his first career start for Colorado State, tossing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Charles Lovett with 42 seconds remaining as the Rams averted their first shutout at home in two years.
McPeek, who was sacked four times, was playing in place of Garrett Grayson. He is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a shoulder injury suffered in a 42-21 loss at Air Force on Sept. 29.
�M.J. did some good things. He�s going to want some things back,� Colorado State coach Jim McElwain said. �We�re not doing what we need to do on offense to get things done. It�s obvious; let�s call it the way it is. That�s my responsibility as the head ball coach.�
Buoyed by the Bulldogs� second fourth-down stop in the third quarter, Carr drove Fresno State to his third touchdown pass of the night, a 15-yarder to Isaiah Burse that put the Bulldogs up 21-0 with 14:14 remaining.
Thomas intercepted McPeek on the ensuing series, leading to Adams� second scoring catch of the night. Carr kept the drive alive with a fourth-down scramble to the Colorado State 8-yard line, and one play later teamed up with Adams on a 5-yard touchdown.
Fresno State led 14-0 at halftime, turning a deflected punt and a fumble recovery into touchdowns.
The Rams had a first-quarter touchdown catch by Kivon Cartwright negated by a crack-back block penalty called on Crockett Gillmore.
Thomas had a hand in the opening score when he broke through on a blitz to sack McPeek, forcing a fumble at Fresno State�s 29-yard line, where the Bulldogs took over.
Rouse converted a third-and-8 play at the Rams� 27-yard line with a 10-yard gain on a draw. One play later, Carr threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Adams, who out jumped safety Trent Matthews for the score midway through the first quarter.
Kyrie Wilson broke through to deflect Pete Kontodiakos� punt, which traveled just seven yards to the Rams� 33-yard line. Carr�s 8-yard scramble to the 20 gave the Bulldogs a first down and helped them overcome an offensive pass interference penalty earlier in the drive. He hit Josh Harper on the next play for a touchdown.
�We�ve got to stack games now,� Carr said. �We can�t play good one time and then fall off another. We�ve played two good ones in a row, and we�ve got to keep building.�

There are two important reasons for faculty to be aware of their rights and responsibilities in regard to students with disabilities:
Responsibilities and Courtesies Be specific about necessary reading materials and have this information available at least a month before the start of the class. Many students may need alternate media, such as Braille or books on CD; these formats take considerable time to create. Allow these students the opportunity to access your reading materials on the first day of class.
Make yourself approachable to students with disabilities. During the first class and in the course syllabus, announce that if anyone is in need of accommodations, to see you after class or during office hours, or have them contact the CSD directly.
Respect the student's right to confidentiality. Do not discuss the student's needs with the class or in front of the class.
If a student makes an authorized request for accommodation, please honor it. Don't tell the student that you don't believe in accommodations or you don't allow them. If you have concerns, contact the CSD.
Give an outline of the course and explain course requirements clearly. As with all students, those with disabilities benefit from a well-organized approach to course material.
Providing Academic Adjustments for Students with Disabilities "Under Federal and State laws, the College is required to make modifications to academic requirements and practices as necessary in order to ensure that they do not discriminate against a qualified student with a disability. The College is also required to have a policy and procedure for responding to students with verified disabilities who request academic adjustments. Students with disabilities have the right to receive reasonable academic adjustments in order to create an educational environment where they have equal access to instruction without fundamentally altering any course, educational program or degree." (GCC Board Policy, 2000)
What is a "qualified student with a disability?"
What is a "reasonable academic adjustment?"
It is a service of the CSD to determine who is a qualified student with a disability and what is a reasonable academic adjustment. We accept the responsibility of adhering to established professional guidelines in making these determinations, so that our faculty can trust our judgments to be ethically and legally sound.
You have the right to expect the same quality of work from a student with disabilities as you do from your other students. You are not doing them a favor by accepting inferior work, by assigning mercy grades, or by passing a student who has not mastered the course material.
You have the right to refuse an unauthorized accommodation. If a student requests an accommodation without authorization from the CSD, refer the student to the CSD office or the Instructional Assistance Center. If you are unsure about the request, please contact us.
You have the right to expect the same standard of behavior from students with disabilities as from other students. Please be sure they are adhering to the GCC Student Code of Conduct.
You have the right to preserve the principles of academic freedom and maintain the highest level of academic standards. However, you must do so without impinging on the basic civil rights of students with disabilities.
In order to achieve this, you must examine each course you teach and determine essential content and procedures. Ask yourself such questions as,
Program requirements outside of these parameters would then be considered for reasonable accommodation to otherwise qualified students on a case-by-case basis. Here's an example. Most instructors would agree that it's important for students to attend class. You may have an attendance requirement that students must meet to pass your class. What if a student with a psychological disability enrolled in your class who was unable to meet that requirement? He/she may, for instance, be having difficulty regulating medications. If this student demonstrates to you that he/she has mastered the course material, and meets all the other requirements of the class, then it would not be correct to fail this student simply because they failed to meet the attendance requirement.

This is the only mask that holds its shape and gives the best protection from sun and bugs. I throw it in my washer with my barn clothes and line dry. I have three so I can wash one, he can wear one and I have one in reserve.
I love this mask! After years of trying several different styles and brands, I've finally found one that works! My gelding would constantly get his fly mask off. I tried ones that had double velcro and those were easily rubbed off when he rolled or let other horses "pick" them off in the pasture. This is the first mask he keeps on all day. He can roll without the mask turning and coming off because the ear holes keep it in place. It also has bigger eye darts and a better shape to keep it from rubbing. After several weeks of usage he has not been able to get it off or have any rub marks on his face.

SEIU Union Officials Violate Federal Settlement
Worker advocate assists healthcare workers coerced into forced dues union ranks
Sacramento, CA (April 4, 2013) – With free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, a Sutter Roseville Medical Center respiratory care practitioner has filed another federal charge against a statewide union for violating a federal settlement by coercing her and her colleagues into paying full union dues even though they are not union members.
In late 2011, Mary Massen won a federal settlement after filing charges against with the Oakland-based Service Employees International Union United Healthcare Workers – West (SEIU-UHW) union with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Because California does not have Right to Work protections for its workers, Massen, who has exercised her right to refrain from formal union membership, is still forced to pay union fees as a condition of employment. However, because of a Foundation-won Supreme Court precedent in Communication Workers v. Beck, she cannot be compelled to pay the portion of union dues used for the union's political, lobbying, and member-only activities. Union officials are also legally obligated to inform workers of these rights and to provide workers with an independently verified audit of chargeable and non-chargeable expenses.

AMD hopes to change that with the release of its new Phenom processors. MSI was the first mainboard manufacturer to announce an RD790 mainboard, the K9A2 Platinum, for the quad-core and tri-core Phenom's. Mainboards from ASUS and Gigabyte based on RD790 were announced in October and also support Phenom quad-core processors.
More details of the AMD platform launch that included the Phenom, the RD790 chipset and the RV670 graphics processor surfaced early in November. DailyTech reported early in November 2007 on the pricing structure of the Phenom processors ranging from about $280 to $330 USD.
An AMD internal memos hows the AMD Phenom 9700, 2.4 GHz processor is slated for mid-December availability. Allocation for the Phenom 9600 running at 2.3GHz has been pushed back to a Q1 2008 date.
The Tech Report, in an interview with AMD's desktop product marketing manager Michael Saucier, confirmed an erratum for all Phenom processors that will cause the system to hang due to an L3 cache miss. The Tech Report claims this fix will degrade performance as much at 10%.
The mainboard favored by AMD, the MSI K9A2 Platinum is impossible to get currently since it is out of stock. MSI confirmed to DailyTech that this board will start shipping again next week, and that the board itself is not with any defect, but just in high demand and low availability.
quote: AMD has stated publicly that the workaround can lower performance by as much as 10%, although one source characterized the performance hit to TR as 10-20%.
quote: Saucier clarified the exact nature of the workaround for the erratum that AMD has provided to motherboard makers and PC manufacturers. The fix comes in the form of a BIOS update, and this BIOS patch includes an update to the CPU microcode. This update disables the portion of the chip's TLB logic that is problematic. Saucier noted that the L3 cache "still works" with this logic disabled, and he said AMD has no plans to implement the fix for existing chips in a different way.
quote: Incidentally, the presence of the TLB erratum may explain the odd behavior of AMD's PR team during the lead-up to the Phenom launch, as I described in my recent blog post. The decision to use 2.6GHz parts and to require the press to test in a controlled environment makes more sense in this context. Since 2.6GHz Phenoms, when they arrive, should be based on the B3 revision of the chip with the TLB erratum fix, AMD could justifiably argue that their performance won't be limited by the BIOS-based workaround. Saucier confirmed to us that the test systems at the Tahoe press event did not have the workaround enabled.
quote: It's unfortunate, they (AMD) must have rushed it (PHENOM) a bit

A fairly recent trend in the world of sex toys, vibrating panties have become increasingly popular as more and more people are willing to push their sexual limits and try new things.
These sex toys for women and couples consist of a basic pair of panties with a special pocket positioned over the clitoris and vagina that contains a bullet or egg vibrator. Designed to be worn and used out and about, the vibrators found in them are typically as quiet as possible. This makes for a more discreet, but entirely erotic, experience.
From in the privacy of your own bedroom to more public places such as meetings at work and on dinner dates, these panties can be worn anywhere and everywhere for a little added fun.
Vibrating panties are also perfect for solo play, and they feature a variety of settings and functions that you can control with a touch of a button. Or you can hand the wireless remote over to your partner for a night full of surprising sensations and teasing pleasure.

Still, security experts aren't
so hot on Snow Leopard, criticizing the operating system's
default firewall setting of "off", its lack of fully
automatic updates, and weak anti-phishing efforts for Safari.
They also weren't impressed that Apple shipped with a vulnerable
version of Flash, which downgrade users from the
safer current version.
Now one prominent Mac hacker has
pointed out a significant difference that makes Snow Leopard less
secure than the upcoming Microsoft OS, Windows 7.
Miller, of Baltimore-based Independent Security Evaluators, the
co-author of The Mac Hacker's Handbook, and winner of two consecutive
"Pwn2own" hacker contests is about as experienced as OS X
hackers come. He recently criticized
Snow Leopard, stating, "Apple didn't change anything.
It's the exact same ASLR as in Leopard, which means it's not very
ASLR is address space layout randomization, a
security technology that randomly assigns data to memory to make it
tougher for attackers to determine the location of critical operating
system functions. According to Mr. Miller, unlike Windows 7,
which features robust
ASLR, Snow Leopard's ASLR is half-baked. It does not properly
randomize the heap, the stack and the dynamic linker, the part of
Snow Leopard that links multiple shared libraries for an executable.
This means that it's much easier for hackers to attack Snow Leopard
via memory injection than Windows 7.
Still Mr. Miller offered
some praise for Apple. They rewrote QuickTime X, their video
player, largely from scratch fixing many holes and insecurities in
the process -- including an exploit Mr. Miller had been saving.
He states, "Apple rewrote a bunch of QuickTime, which was really
smart, since it's been the source of lots of bugs in the past.
They've shaken out hundreds of bugs in QuickTime over the years, but
it was still really smart of them to rewrite it. [Still] I'd
reduce the number of file formats from 200 or so to 50, and reduce
the attack surface. I don't think anyone would miss them."
also praises Apple's relatively effective implementation of DEP (data
execution prevention), another memory protection scheme that Windows
7 also has. DEP is also present in Windows XP Service Pack 2
(SP2) and Windows Vista. Still without ASLR, DEP is only so
good he says. He states, "Snow Leopard's more secure than
Leopard, but it's not as secure as Vista or Windows 7. When
Apple has both [in place], that's when I'll stop complaining about
Apple's security."
So why aren't Macs being exploited
left and right and why can Apple still air commercials claiming
superior security? Mr. Miller states, "It's harder to
write exploits for Windows than the Mac, but all you see are Windows
exploits. That's because if [the hacker] can hit 90% of the machines
out there, that's all he's gonna do. It's not worth him nearly
doubling his work just to get that last 10%."
quote: Don't bother trying to explain it. Somehow these people think that since Microsoft left open unnecessary services in the background, ran those with system/root level permissions, auto executed attachments upon opening emails, left ActiveX unchecked, forced users to run as admins because running as users in XP didn't work, that Apple was stupid too and did the same mistakes.
quote: I'm not sure what any of that has to do with where we are at today. As of right now, OSX is less secure than Vista/Win 7.
quote: Apple's ASLR is weaker than Win7's ASLR. Bam, less secure. You don't need to find a security hole to be less secure.One bank's vault has 5 ft thick steel walls, while another bank's vault has 3 ft thick steel walls. There's no security hole, but one is less secure than the other.
quote: Also Apple doesn't do nice free service packs, like Windows.
quote: They do OS releases that cost you money and equate to little more than a service pack. Just like the minor move from Leopard to Snow Leopard.

Google's Android mobile OS launched it
was met with skepticism, pessimism, and doubt. Slowly but surely,
Google recruited new hardware partners, launched new handsets,
eventually reaching sales
of 65,000 units a day -- then
100,000. And Google maintained a relentless pace of OS
releases -- with such high profile updates as Android 1.5, 2.0, 2.1,
and, most recently, 2.2
(Froyo).Now market researcher Canalys claims that Google
is now the top
player in the U.S. smartphone market in terms of market
share. According to Canalys's extensive study, Google owns 34
percent of the market compared to Research in Motion's 32 percent and
Apple's 21.7 percent.Propelled by wildly successful handsets
like HTC
Hero (October 2009), Motorola
Droid (November 2009), HTC
Droid Incredible (April 2010), HTC
EVO 4G (June 2010), and Motorola
Droid X (July 2010), Google has dominated the market with an
astounding sales growth of 886 percent.Perhaps the only
analogy to what Google is doing in the history of operating systems
is Microsoft's incredible conquest of the personal computer operating
system market with Windows. Much like Windows, Google's
multi-hardware OEM, open approach, focused on providing customers
with a broad array of choices, is crushing its
more specialized competitors, like Apple (which ironically was
similarly crushed by Microsoft in the PC OS market).That's
not to say that Apple or RIM are posting financial losses. In
fact, Apple grew 61 percent in sales year-to-year and RIM grew 41
percent. What is happening, though, is that they appear to be
missing the growth opportunity that Android has
found with its open, third-party hardware model.Android's
success looks especially scary considering that it appears to just be
getting warmed up. Android
3.0 "Gingerbread" should launch this holiday
season with some pretty amazing new features. Motorola, HTC, and
others are reportedly already cooking up new high end handsets to
accompany the OS launch.In terms of individual hardware OEMs,
Nokia still is the dominant party, owning 38 percent of the market.
Overall smartphone sales rose 64 percent on a year-to-year basis.

Untangling the Knots Of a Brooklyn Boyhood
When Jonathan Lethem was growing up on Dean Street in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, one of the few white faces in a black and Hispanic sea, he was constantly being grabbed and frisked for his pocket change or bus pass by the neighborhood kids, he recalled the other day. It was the 1970's, before great waves of middle-class homesteaders cascaded through the leafy streets, buying and renovating historic brownstones.September 16, 2003 artsNews
White Kid, In a Black World
Jonathan Lethem's dazzling but fundamentally flawed new novel, ''The Fortress of Solitude,'' is at once wildly ambitious and quietly intimate. It aspires to the social range and reach of John Updike's Rabbit novels and Michael Chabon's 2000 novel, ''The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay,'' but it also resonates with the personal, confessional tone of ''Catcher in the Rye.''September 16, 2003 artsNews
What Makes Him Tic?
Judging by the energetic catholicity of his literary appropriations -- the hard-boiled novel, science fiction, westerns and the academic novel -- Jonathan Lethem appears to be both a scholar and a wide-eyed fan of any and all genre fiction. Taking his cue from writers like Don DeLillo and Philip K. Dick, who successfully blurred the lines between serious and popular novels, Lethem is like a kid in a candy store, grabbing all the tasty plots and gimmicks he can.October 17, 1999 artsReview

Now that we are harvesting some produce from our gardens, or coveting the tempting array in the produce aisle, it is time to think about good ways to use vegetables in the kitchen.
Sundays, I cook for the family, and their tastes range from the two boys who would welcome a plate of just grape tomatoes, wheat crackers and ice cream every week, through one who will devour anything as long as it has chocolate in it, to the littlest one who loves broccoli, on to calorie counters and sugar shunners and fans of specific salads. So, I can't please everyone, but the following dishes usually leave an empty container on the serving table.
Some favorite salads are simple to prepare, and I make sure to have the ingredients on hand.
The broccoli salad recipe came from an Amish Cook recipe in The A-T many years ago, and I have changed it through the years. It is great for garden broccoli cut fresh that day, and simply adds hard boiled eggs, diced bacon, chopped green onions and a dressing of red wine vinegar and olive oil. This is known as Tom's Salad after its greatest fan.
To please his wife, Brittany, all I need to do is chop some of the chives that grow profusely in the garden all summer and on the kitchen windowsill in the winter, and add it to a container of low-fat cottage cheese.
She also favors plate salad, which is my name for everything in the refrigerator crisper arranged on a platter. It must contain lettuce and green onions, but might also include tomatoes, celery, peppers, cucumber, grated carrots, assorted greens, cheese, hard-boiled eggs and whatever else is at hand.
Some years ago, I bought a rather battered paperback vegetable cookbook at the library's book sale and clipped the best-sounding recipes for my loose-leaf cookbook.
The surviving entries include this cabbage casserole which makes two containers full so that one can go in the freezer. It calls for 2 pounds of ground beef (I use the cheapest), 2 cans of tomato soup, 2 cans of any kind of tomatoes or the equivalent in fresh garden tomatoes when available, a large onion or two, about 3 cups of cooked rice, and a big cabbage chopped and cooked until tender. Mix all this together and add a little sugar, salt, pepper and garlic powder and bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Unexpectedly, everyone likes this, even the two teenagers.
My asparagus was wonderful this year, but as usual not sufficient for everyone at Sunday dinner. The way I cook it is in a non-stick skillet and cut into 1-inch pieces. Melt a whole stick of butter (yes, real butter) and add about a cup of water with salt and pepper, all the asparagus you have, and cover and cook about 5 minutes. Sinfully high-calorie, yes, but it's only once a year my own asparagus is available.
I grew far more potatoes than usual this year.
First, I planted seed fingerling potatoes, and then when they seemed reluctant to appear, I put in a whole pile of sprouting russets from the vegetable bin. Both eventually grew, and so I have an interesting mix.
I like to put sliced potatoes which have been partly cooked into the crock pot, and add a mixture of cheese, mushroom or celery soup, whichever I have on hand, and a small carton of sour cream and a stick of butter. Then cook on low for about two hours.
So there you have it. Plenty of easy ways to use all those wonderful fresh vegetables.

quote: For the life of me I cannot imagine what was going through the minds of those jurors or those judges.
quote: Judge Davis, despite strong criticism of the damage award, had no kind words for Thomas-Rasset. He noted that "Thomas-Rasset's refusal to accept responsibility for her actions and her decision to concoct a new theory of the infringement casting possible blame on her children and ex-boyfriend for her actions demonstrate a refusal to accept responsibility and raise the need for strong deterrence." The judge even concluded that she "lied on the witness stand by denying responsibility for her infringing acts and, instead, blamed others, including her children, for her actions."
quote: If the RIAA had settled for $7,128 (1,000 times the profit they would have gotten if she had bought the songs from a major online store) then this would have been over back in early 2009.
quote: Honestly what I do not understand is why if you physically steal something you pay less than if you "steal" something digital.

Having a 'ball' at 'camp'
March 22, 2013 - Neil Rudel
I just returned from a cool tradition held in the Cove during March Madness.
It's called "Ball Camp," and it's an annual gathering of 40-plus Williamsburg and Spring Cove friends celebrating the first two days of the NCAA Tournament in memory of their friend, Lynn "Wimp" Ranalli.
Joe Zehner, one of Williamsburg's 1,000-point scorers (who duplicated the feat at Mount Aloysius College, invited me to take part a couple of years ago and the welcome mat has been out since.
Everyone is dressed in their favorite teams garb -- Georgetown, North Carolina and Penn State.
Thursday night at "Ball Camp" is held at Mark Bechtel's home in Martinsburg. Friday night, "girls night," as I've come to learn, shifts to Williamsburg and the volume, maybe because it's now a weekend and/or maybe because the wives are letting their hair down, is definitely turned up at home of Jeff and Tracy (Houck) Colbert.
Tracy Colbert warmly greeted me by loudly suggesting I favored Bishop Guilfoyle during the intense rivalry of the 1990s when Williamsburg and BG met in multiple western finals.
My protests declaring neutrality were playfully shouted down.
It was nice to mingle with many of the names that fill Williamsburg's rich basketball lore -- Zehner and Houck, Grove and Brantner, Lilly and Greaser -- while remembering Wimp Ranalli.
As fate would have it, Ranalli was a devoted Georgetown fan, and the Hoyas fell hard to Florida Gulf Coast on Friday night, captivating the crowd surrounding the large basement TVs.
Ranalli would have been disappointed, but he'd no doubt appreciate how all his friends love to toast him annually at "Ball Camp."
The most amazing moment of the first two days, to me, came with Marquette's last-second victory over Davidson.
Davidson held the lead throughout the game until Marquette hit a couple of clutch 3-pointers to pull within one with 12 seconds left. Still, all Davidson needed to do was inbound, force Marquette to foul and then salt the game away at the free-throw line.
Instead -- even with Marquette trying to foul -- Davidson lost its composure and threw the ball upcourt and out of bounds.
Marquette had no timeouts left, but officials sorted out how many seconds were left -- a process that took at least three minutes -- which allowed Buzz Williams to draw up the game-winning play.
Nursing a one-point lead with 6 seconds to go, Davidson could not foul and lost the game because it didn't wait for a foul that Marquette was trying to make five seconds earlier.
Now down Wisconsin and the Hoyas, my Final Four has been blown up.

Pet Essences Pancreas Balance is a combination of Flower Essences designed to balance the emotional attitudes that present a physical state of Pancreas Imbalance.
About Flower Essences
Pets are very responsive to the energetic healing properties of Flower Essences. The energetic bouquets from Pet Essences are both dynamic and gentle in their transformational abilities. By using the appropriate Flower Essences to balance the emotional attitudes of your dog or cat, subtle changes occur that bring renewed energy forward and short circuit the path to illness.
Pets have emotions, attitudes and personalities just like humans. To care for an animal, it is helpful to observe the animal and learn how to distinguish between normal regular behavior and behavior that is unusual and out of balance. Pets often reflect the emotions of the people close to them and the environment in which they live. Emotions such as fear or anxiety or worry or depression can lead to disease because they deplete the physical body of its natural vitality, thereby compromising the immune system's ability to function properly. By using the appropriate Flower Essences to balance emotional attitudes, subtle changes occur that bring renewed energy forward and short circuit the path to illness.
We have organized the Pet Essences formulas so that it is easy to select the appropriate remedy from our Conditions categories. Don't worry about choosing an inappropriate essence. They will not harm animals, or people, as they are self correcting - meaning that there are no unwanted side effects. Sometimes there are responses that may seem surprising but that is because each creature has a personal way of making changes in their own being. Flower essences are easy to use and are very economical.
Available in 1 oz liquid.
Review Rating: 5
Country of Origin: USA
Manufacturer: Pet Essences
Shipping Weight: 0.17
Active Ingredients - Eucalyptus, Cherry Plum, Jasmine, Petunia, Yarrow
Inactive Ingredients - Brandy (used as a preservative)
Suggested Use
Pet Essences can be rubbed on the skin, lips, ears, or paws, put directly in the mouth, added to drinking water, put in food, put in bath water, or put into a mister bottle or treatment bottle.
Pet Essences can be used directly from the bottle or diluted. If you choose to dilute them with water, you will dilute the brandy but not the remedy flower essences. This way your pet will not taste or ingest unnecessary brandy.
To make a diluted treatment bottle, take a clean, empty 1 oz bottle and add 7 drops from the Pet Essences Bottle, fill with water, and shake well. You can then give doses directly from this bottle. You can also add 7 drops of the Pet Essences into a bowl of drinking water.
Please do not combine the Pet Essences formulas. Combining formulas can be overwhelming for your pet. You can use more than two formulas in one day by waiting 2 minutes between doses. Two exceptions to combining formulas are Pain Relief and Emotional Stability. These two formulas may be combined with any other formula in a treatment bottle or a bowl of water. To do this, add 7 drops from each formula into a treatment bottle, fill with water, and shake well.
It is suggested to give Pet Essences 4 times a day. The more frequently you give a dose the more often the messages carried by the essences will reach the animal you are helping. Repeating frequent doses is more effective than a single dose or dosing 2 times a day. If you are faced with an emergency situation, giving dosages more frequently is recommended. A dose can be given every few seconds, then every few minutes until the animal stabilizes.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Pet Essences Pancreas Balance:
My cat Jamie came up with high prancreatic blood levels (a precurser sometimes to poor kidney function). I started using the Pet Essances Pancreas Imbalance on him daily. Six months later his blood was retested and all was normal. When I haven't used it the enzimes go up, so I continue to use this for him daily.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great So Far
By Jan
from Danville IN
We are administering the essence in diluted form. Our sheltie, who has pancreatitis, has not had an episode since we began using this produce despite having some early symptoms. I've used flower essences for animals before with great success - that includes this product! I plan to order another essence for our other pets.
Amazing Product Really Works!
By Vicki
from Carmel IN
I used this product twice a day and came back to this site and it said to use four times a day, so I did. Scotty the dog has pancreatitis and he has improved greatly with this product. I would recommend to anyone, because it works wonders!

WASHINGTON – Rep. Tom Reed of Corning and several other Republican lawmakers faced harsh bipartisan criticism Monday for partaking in an evening of eating and drinking in Israel last summer that ended in a late-night swim in the Sea of Galilee, skinny-dipping by a Kansas lawmaker and a brief FBI investigation.
Mitt Romney, soon to be the Republican presidential nominee, said in a New Hampshire television interview that the behavior of the GOP lawmakers on the trip was "reprehensible" and "another terrible mistake by individuals." His running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, said the lawmakers' behavior was "unbecoming of a member of Congress."
Meanwhile, Erick Erickson of the popular conservative blog RedState.com called on the lawmakers who took part in the swim to resign.
Jesse Ferguson, spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said: "This looks more like a scene out of 'Animal House' than a delegation of members of Congress representing America in Israel – one of our most important security partners."
Reed acknowledged jumping into the Sea of Galilee in shorts and a golf shirt with his wife, Jean.
Asked about Erickson's call for resignations, Reed said: "I think that's an extreme reaction," and added: "From my perspective, we didn't see anything that was inappropriate,"
Politico, a Capitol Hill newspaper and website, reported the incident and the FBI probe, citing more than a dozen sources, including eyewitnesses.
According to Politico, the GOP contingent of more than 20 people plunged into the Sea of Galilee, where the Bible says Jesus walked on water, after dinner at a waterfront restaurant that involved drinking.
Some members of the party jumped in the water fully clothed, while others partly stripped. Rep. Kevin Yoder, R-Kansas, got naked, Politico said.
"After dinner I followed some members of Congress in a spontaneous and very brief dive into the sea, and regrettably I jumped into the water without a swimsuit," Yoder said in a statement to Politico.
"It is my greatest honor to represent the people of Kansas in Congress, and [for] any embarrassment I have caused for my colleagues and constituents, I apologize."
While there is nothing illegal about swimming in the Sea of Galilee, the FBI interviewed congressional staffers who were on the trip regarding the incident, Politico said.
"Looking back on it, obviously with the attention that's been brought to it and looking at it, obviously it's something I would probably not do again going forward," Reed said.
"But in the moment – my wife and I going in the sea – it's one of those things that to me at the time wasn't extraordinary," he added.
Reed acknowledged having wine at dinner that night, and while some sources told Politico that alcohol may have motivated some participants to jump in the water, Reed said no one in the party appeared intoxicated.
The incident took place at Decks, a waterfront restaurant in the historic town of Tiberias. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., was there, as was Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
But both leaders left the party at the end of dinner, at which point some of the remaining lawmakers and staffers continued drinking, Politico said.
Other Republican lawmakers who later jumped into the Sea of Galilee – technically a lake – included Reps. Michael Grimm of Staten Island, Steve Southerland of Florida, Ben Quayle of Arizona and Jeff Denham of California.
The next morning, Cantor admonished the GOP lawmakers and staffers regarding the incident, which involved some of his own aides, Politico said.
"He expressed his concern about it, and we all discussed it and agreed that we're not going to do that again," Reed said. "He also stressed the nature of the trip and what we were there for."
The American Israel Educational Foundation, which is tied to the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee, sponsored and paid for the trip, which cost up to $10,000 per person, Politico said.
The pro-Israel group routinely sponsors such trips for U.S. lawmakers. Events on the agenda included meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian Authority prime minister, and dinner with U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro.
The trip took place Aug. 13-21, 2011; the late-night dip happened Aug. 18, 2011.
Reed questioned the timing of the controversy over the incident, noting that the Politico story was published a year after the late-night swim and "in the political season."
The incident can do no political good to Reed or the rest of a Congress beset by low approval ratings.
Reed's Democratic opponent in the November election, Nate Shinagawa, said: "These lawmakers had the privilege of a free trip to Israel to learn about its rich history, religious traditions and present challenges, but their behavior was irresponsible and disrespectful to those who consider the Sea of Galilee a holy place."
Erickson, of RedState.com, said the lawmakers "have embarrassed themselves, their families, their constituents and their party. They should have the decency to resign, or at least put a paper bag over their head and go away for a very long time."

District to seek .75% income tax
January 31, 2014
BELOIT— The West Branch school board on the May ballot will attempt a .75 percent income tax for the second time, but this time will limit it to five years....
The WB schools have been LIVING on the same money for the past 20yrs. The LAST tax was 1994! A BOND issue was past in 2004 for the new schools that ONLY cost 20% to the TAXPAYERS. U have to OWN property and HAVE an INCOME to be a TAXPAYER! The "NO's" ENJOY bringing the "YES's" down...do NOT be apart of it! We ARE West Branch! SUPPORT good schools...so the blue collar jobs SUCCEED!

School districts are all in the same boat.
But some think the teacher should bare the brunt of it.
Less pay ,less benefits ,make the kids go to school ,make them learn ,babysit them. But of course no discipline or they get sued.
Mean while Mommy and Dad give them cars , cell phones ,tablets and cares less where there at

Okay, we're no longer WB school district, but like bug, we used to be.
I always thought WB had pretty good schools and teachers.
But, how do you guys think the schools should get more money? Costs have gone up.
Or is it a matter of them having wasted money recently? Or you think they need to tighten belts somewhere, and then they can ask for money?
(And having better schools does help property values.)
But as I'm no longer in that district, I really do want to know what is motivating the thinking here.
(I will say, I have voted no on many increases for schools, so I'm not grinding an axe here.)

ATTICA - It wasn't very often during the second half that Fremont St. Joe wasn't in the driver's seat of its game against Seneca East. But with just over two minutes left in the game, Seneca East converted a four-point play to cut what was once a 24-point lead to 11.
A seemingly smooth trip to the finish line now had a speed bump in the middle of the road.
Then Ben Linke took the wheel and began to drive.
Article Photos
Seneca East's Ethan Caudil puts up a shot as St. Joe's Ryan Williams defends Friday night in Attica.
Linke took an inbound pass and drove straight to the basket. Then he did it again, and again, and again. The St. Joe junior scored nine consecutive points, all on straight drives to the basket and resulting foul shots, and the Streaks cruised to an 86-67 win in the Midland Athletic League opener for both teams.
"I thought we played well," Linke said after his 25-point night. "I thought we did well against their defense, really knew how to work against their defense. We knew how to attack; we attacked real well.
"We felt like they were leaving gaps. So we just took it too them as hard as we could."
St. Joe coach Jonathan Will said Linke's run was made possible by his team's play on the defensive end.
"When we got stops, we got into transition and that was the key at the end," Will said. "I think we went on a (9-0) run and everything was a transition layup. It starts at the defensive end. If we can get a stop there, we get out and run a little bit. I think we're good enough athletically to do that. You just got to get some stops. If we would've done our job sooner, the lead wouldn't have gotten to 11. Credit to Seneca East, they battled, they never quit. That's a product of their coach."
But Will was less than pleased with his defenses effort overall on the night. The St. Joe coach said he's still looking for consistency on that end of the floor.
"Defensively we're a little farther behind from where we'd like to be," he said. "Offensively I'm pleased with where were at. We have to be able to sit down, when the time comes, sit down in our man-to-man and get stops. Tonight we did it in spurts, but not good enough for our standards."
Most of Will's defensive headaches came from trying to slow down Ethan Caudill. Caudill had game-highs in points and rebounds, pouring in 33 points while pulling down 10 rebounds.
"I think he was a little disappointed with the way he played last week so he's trying to make up and show us he can play better than he did," Seneca East coach Joe Nowak said after his team dropped to 0-3. "So we're definitely happy with that."
"We did a pretty good job on shutting their main guys down, except for (Caudill) ... Caudill did a real good job," Linke said. "Other than Caudill, I thought we shut them down. I thought we did well."
Hunter Saylors backed Caudill with 18, 12 of which came during the Tigers' rally in the fourth quarter. But those two combined for 76 percent of the Seneca East offense.
St. Joe (2-0) built a lead as big as 24 points at the third quarter and led 68-47 heading in the fourth. Seneca East got a basket from Adam Hall and a 3-pointer from Jack Daniel early in the fourth, but Saylors was the catalyst as the Tigers clawed back in the game. He was fouled while hitting a 3-pointer from the top of the key. He knocked down the ensuing foul shot, cutting the lead to 75-64 with 2:02 to go. But that was as close as Seneca East could get.
"We made some mental mistakes down the stretch there," Nowak said. "We cut it to 11, then gave up some transition buckets. Then it kind of ballooned up again, gave them a couple and-1s. (Our kids) got a little deflated after they pushed it back up there again, but I was very happy to see them fight back and cut it to 11. It's a good thing in my eyes that I saw them fight back like that."
While Linke drove home the win, Lucas Michael got St. Joe off the starting line by scoring all 13 of his points in the first half. In the second half, it was the Streaks' inside game that let them pull away. Hunter Harrison (18 and 6) and Ryan Williams (17 and 8) combined for 35 points and 14 rebounds. Harrison scored 12 of his points in the third quarter when St. Joe lead began to escalate.
"They work hard. Ryan's a three-year letterman for me, Hunter's in his second year for me. They know what we expect on the offensive end," Will said. "Defensive end, they hold their own. Tonight we knew we were facing two physical post guys inside in (Adam) Hall and (Josh) Waggoner, and I thought our guys did a good job there."
"It's awesome. We got so many people to depend on," Linke said when asked how helpful his teammates in the post are. "As far as rebounds, as far as when people collapse we can drop it to them, it makes everything a lot easier."
It may not have turned out to be easy, but it all helped the St. Joe drive back to Fremont with the win.
