About Vistaprint
Vistaprint was founded in Paris, France in 1995 by Robert Keane, who still serves as President and CEO of the company. Originally, Keane only planned to market business cards, but soon expanded his product line to include address labels, company letterheads, postcards and other stationery products.
Keane's goal was to give smaller businesses access to the same professional level of printing services that established companies had, without having to spend a fortune to do so. Keane's business plan worked and soon, Vistaprint had acquired smaller printing firms across Europe and continued to expand the company's reach.
Today, Vistaprint holds over 200 patents in the mass customization industry and continues to offer premium printing options at a fraction of the cost of their competitors. Vistaprint currently serves more than 120 countries worldwide and has an employee base of 5,100 across their multi-national headquarters and service centers. Vistaprint is owned by Cimpress, an online printing conglomerate based in Hamilton, Bermuda.
While it can be said that most all online printing companies compete with Vistaprint, their main competitors are the larger chain stores who also offer online printing options – like OfficeMax, Staples and Kinko's.
You can contact Vistaprint at 1.866.614.8002 Monday through Friday from 7am until midnight, Eastern Time – and from 8am until 6pm Easter Time on Saturdays and Sundays. Alternately, Vistaprint also has a live chat option and email contact form via their website as well.

Increased intracranial pressure is a rise in the pressure inside the skull that can result from or cause brain injury.
ICP - raised; Intracranial pressure - raised; Intracranial hypertension; Acute increased intracranial pressure; Sudden increased intracranial pressure
Increased intracranial pressure can be due to a rise in pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid. This is the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Increase in intracranial pressure can also be due to a rise in pressure within the brain itself. This can be caused by a mass (such as a tumor), bleeding into the brain or fluid around the brain, or swelling within the brain itself.
An increase in intracranial pressure is a serious medical problem. The pressure can damage the brain or spinal cord by pressing on important brain structures and by restricting blood flow into the brain.
Many conditions can increase intracranial pressure. Common causes include:
Older children and adults:
A health care provider will usually make this diagnosis at the patient's bedside in an emergency room or hospital. Primary care doctors may sometimes spot early symptoms of increased intracranial pressure such as headache, seizures, or other nervous system problems.
An MRI or CT scan of the head can usually determine the cause of increased intracranial pressure and confirm the diagnosis.
Intracranial pressure may be measured during a spinal tap (lumbar puncture). It can also be measured directly by using a device that is drilled through the skull or a tube (catheter) that is inserted into a hollow area in the brain called the ventricle.
Sudden increased intracranial pressure is an emergency. The person will be treated in the intensive care unit of the hospital. The health care team will measure and monitor the patient's neurological and vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Treatment may include:
If a tumor, hemorrhage, or other problem has caused the increase in intracranial pressure, these problems will be treated.
Sudden increased intracranial pressure is a serious and often life-threatening condition. Prompt treatment results in better outlook.
If the increased pressure pushes on important brain structures and blood vessels, it can lead to serious, permanent problems or even death.
This condition usually cannot be prevented. If you have a persistent headache, blurred vision, changes in your level of alertness, neurological problems, or seizures, seek medical help as soon as possible.

A proposal to create an animal abuse registry in Erie County that would prohibit people convicted of abusing animals from adopting pets for five years has been revised to exclude most farm animals and fish.
Erie County Legislator Terrence D. McCracken, D-Lancaster, said the latest version of his proposal would more narrowly define the law so that it applies primarily to cats, dogs and horses – animals, he said, that are involved in most animal abuse cases.
The original proposal – which relied on a much broader definition of an animal – raised concerns from the New York Farm Bureau and the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council. The new proposal excludes farm animals except horses, as well as fish and other "aquatic creatures."
"We didn't want to be that burdensome to the farm community," McCracken said. "We didn't want to be burdensome to the mom-and-pop pet stores that sell goldfish and exotic fish and turtles."
The proposal would require people convicted in Erie County of violating a range of animal protection laws to include their name, address, photograph and date of birth on an online registry for five years. Those on the list would be prohibited from owning, adopting or buying an animal during that time.
"I think that's the main point here," McCracken said. "We'll be keeping animals out of the hands of those who have been convicted of these crimes."
Animal shelters and pet sellers in the county would be prohibited from selling cats, dogs, horses or other animals included in the law to anyone on the registry and could face a fine of up to $1,000 if they sold one of those animals to someone on the registry without checking the list.
McCracken first proposed the new law early last year, but it failed to move forward despite support from rescue volunteers and animal advocates.
He re-introduced the proposal last month after it was rewritten to address concerns from the farm community and some legislators.
The County Legislature will hold a public hearing on the new proposal at 2:30 p.m. today in the Legislature chambers of Old County Hall, 92 Franklin St.

DENVER - The Denver Broncos led by seven points and were threatening to increase their lead as the fourth quarter began Sunday.
The Steelers lined up on defense with Steve McLendon, Ryan Mundy, Keenan Lewis and Cameron Heyward on the field.
Those guys might be top-notch NFL players at some point in their careers, but they aren't necessarily defenders a team with Super Bowl aspirations would want playing in key moments of a playoff game.
The Steelers were upset by the Broncos in stunning fashion, 29-23 in overtime, in a wild AFC wild-card game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, but a victory would have just prolonged a season that wasn't heading toward a Super Bowl berth in Indianapolis in February.
The Steelers, in the end, did not have a championship-caliber team this year.
"I'm proud of our guys and the way they fought, but, obviously, we're not in it for moral victories,'' Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "It wasn't enough.''
The Steelers were good enough to make the playoffs with a 12-4 record. They beat some good teams along the way, such as the New England Patriots, the Tennessee Titans and the Cincinnati Bengals twice.
But their two losses to the Baltimore Ravens during the regular season and a loss in San Francisco that would have won the AFC North Division for the team - and prevented them from playing in the wild-card round - showed they were not quite the team that had gone to three Super Bowls in the previous six seasons.
It was evident again on Sunday in the loss to the Broncos when they allowed Tim Tebow to produce his biggest game of his NFL career, and that's pretty significant considering his performances from earlier this season.
Tebow threw for 316 yards against the No. 1-ranked defense in the NFL? Imagine what Tom Brady might have done next Saturday if the Steelers would have somehow pulled out a victory over Denver.
Five of Tebow's passes went for 30 yards or more, including the game-winning 80-yard toss to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime.
"That's something as a defense you definitely can't let happen,'' Mundy said. "That will make it very hard to win a game, especially when we come up on the short side there at the end. But those are plays that we pride ourselves on not letting happen.''
The Steelers offense led a second-half comeback on Sunday after the team fell behind, 20-6. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 289 yards, and Isaac Redman ran for 121.
But the offense was not the type of unit that was going to outscore teams like the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints or even the Patriots in a big game. The offense seemed out of sync ever since Roethlisberger sprained his ankle against Cleveland on Dec. 4.
Roethlisberger threw an interception that set up a Broncos field goal, and the team failed to score touchdowns on two drives in the first quarter when the Steelers were dominating the game.
"It's always disappointing,'' Roethlisberger said. "Offensively, you feel like you can do so much more, and you don't do it.''
One could point to injuries on why the Steelers experienced a quick exit from the playoffs. Players like Mundy, Redman and McLendon were playing significant minutes in Sunday's game because of the team's injury woes.
Center Maurkice Pouncey, Roethlisberger and linebacker LaMarr Woodley haven't been healthy for the latter part of the season. Running back Rashard Mendenhall was out because of ligament tears in his knee, safety Ryan Clark didn't play against the Broncos because of a sickle cell trait that could have made his playing in high altitude life-threatening, and nose tackle Casey Hampton, defensive end Brett Keisel and offensive tackle Max Starks went out with injuries during the game.
"We don't make excuses in regards to injuries,'' Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "The guys we put on the field were capable of doing the job, and the reason we didn't do the job is because we didn't perform. We didn't perform well enough from a coaching standpoint and from a player standpoint.''
If one takes Tomlin at his word and accepts that injuries didn't play a part in the Steelers' ultimate demise, then this should be the ultimate conclusion: The Steelers were not good enough in 2011 to go the distance.

How do you rate K-9 and Company: A Girl's Best Friend? (5=Fantastic)
For years I avoided watching it due to its bad reputation, but just a few months ago I gave in and finally watched. I was really surprised at how entertaining it was. Sure it was a bit on the cheesy and campy side, but so are some of my favorite episodes of Classic Who. Heck, I even liked the much maligned theme song and thought it was fun (I still need to make it a ringtone for myself sometime). I would definitely recommend it and will continue to rewatch and enjoy it.

She cites the case of Richard Fine, an attorney who has been imprisoned for nearly sixteen months under contempt of court and "moral turpitude." Prof. Ressler Comments on Richard Fine Case 4/9/2010 For thirteen months, the Los Angeles Superior Court has held attorney Richard I. Fine, a taxpayer advocate from Tarzana, California, in solitary confinement at the Men's Central Jail for contempt of court for reasons of coercive confinement. Superior Court Judge David Yaffe, who ordered the attorney's disbarment and arrest, claimed Fine withheld personal financial information directly relating to a real estate development case in which he was representing the defendants. Fine's case is now being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court. Professor Jayne Ressler, an expert in coercive confinement cases, said, "The fact the Supreme Court is involved in any way is a big deal. It certainly speaks volumes to the importance of this case, and it's quite intriguing." Related Links: Faculty News Curriculum New Faculty Brochure

To calm her nerves on the morning of her Aug. 18 wedding, Bethany Hamilton "went surfing on the beach where I first surfed with one arm," she says. "I caught a few waves and messed around on a longboard."
Hours later the survivor of a 2003 shark attack so famous that it was made into a movie (2011's Soul Surfer) took a moment to "just sit in my car before going down the aisle. So many emotions were rushing through me."
Then Hamilton, 23, wearing a Lazaro gown, exchanged vows with youth-ministry volunteer Adam Dirks, 25, on a Kauai estate surrounded by plumeria and orchids – and 300 guests.
"When I looked in Adam's eyes, I almost started crying," says the bride, who met Dirks last year on a blind date during which they jumped off a 40-ft. cliff.
Following the Christian ceremony, guests moved to a private residence where they munched on opah and vegan spring rolls. Rather than serving alcohol, the couple kept the party pumped up with cold-pressed locally grown coffee.

Couldnt agree more. This lineup has needed a couple of dependable big bodied workhorses to complement our lineup of racehorses for 3 years now. Hal Gill and Paul Gaustad are two guys that would have been fantastic acquisitions for depth, size, and defence. If this rash of injuries came a month earlier Id like to think that 'Laurel Restington' would have made a few of the moves Im talking about.
We didn't have what it took to pick up Gaustad, a first round pick. We used that on Quincey. Would you rather have a 4th line center or a top-4 defenseman?

YOUR PROTAGONIST, PART 1Posted Friday, June 3, 2011, at 11:47 AM
Now that you've created the skeleton for your creature - you've developed an outline using the 3-Act structure - it's time to move on to the internal organs. At the heart of your story is the protagonist - your main character. Your protagonist is the center around which all the activity in the story revolves. In "Gone with the Wind," the protagonist is Scarlett, and even though I wouldn't really categorize Rhett as a secondary character, given his importance, he still takes a back seat to our feisty southern belle.
As you develop the characters for your book, consider keeping a "character worksheet" in which to list such details as eye and hair color, age, family dynamics, etc. Keep this worksheet handy so you can refer back to it as needed. Start an Information File for your book. The Information File is different from your Ideas File in that it pertains to a given project. It's where you put your character worksheet, all the research you've done for your story and other pertinent details. If you keep all of this information in one place - a 3-ring binder works well - you can access it quickly when you need to look up something. You can access the character worksheet that I use, and feel free to make as many copies as you wish.
How do you create compelling, real-life characters that jump off the page? You give them a personality. Your characters have flaws - even your hero/heroine - just like real people. No one is perfect, and, frankly, perfection is boring. In addition, your reader must be able to identify with the protagonist. The reader steps into the story, feels like he's become a part of it, and if he can't feel some sympathy for the main characters, he won't care what happens to them.
So, even though your hero may be deeply flawed, he must also be seen as sympathetic. How do you do that? By using an old trick called "Save the Cat." In recent years a book with that title has emerged, and though the book is about screenwriting, it applies just as well to fiction.
I'll give you an example: Your main character wakes up, hung over, in a strange apartment. He doesn't know where he is, but this isn't a new occurrence for him and the two-day stubble on his face tells him he's been out for some time. He gathers his clothes, sneaks out of the apartment and heads out in search of his car. Not a terrific beginning. Your reader wonders, who is this guy? But then, as your character is leaving the apartment building, he stops and takes the time to help a meowing cat out of a tree (thus the expression). Or he helps an old woman carry her heavy packages up the steps of the building, or pats the head of a small child... you get the idea. At that point your reader realizes that, though he's dirty and hung over, this is a good guy! So it's easy for your reader, from that point on, to care about what happens to him.
Of course your characters' flaws can be more subtle than a tendency for alcoholic blackouts. Scarlett's main flaw (she actually had many) was her selfishness, which, by the end of the book, she was taking steps to overcome. Your characters can be selfish or self-centered, short-tempered, even prone to shoplifting - just make sure the negative qualities don't outweigh the good. And, if possible, have him at least try to become a better person by the end of the book.
"If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats"

I really like the character worksheet. What I wonder is should I fill it out for every character in my book? Some of the minor characters only appear once.

Is it always clear who the progaonist is? I just finished a book, So Much Pretty by Clara Hoffman. Very good. But I'm still not sure who the main character was. There were so many, with different chapters told from different point of views.
-- Posted by JohnG1964 on Sun, Jun 5, 2011, at 8:49 AM
Use the Character Worksheet in full for your main characters, but for your secondary characters there's no need to fill out every detail. If you are adding a very minor character (a "walk on") I would fill out only the basic info - name, description, etc. Even if the character only appears once, it's still a good idea to have that information on file in case you need to refer to it again later.
There's nothing worse (okay, maybe some things are worse) than rifling through a 300 page manuscript looking for a character's one appearance because you decide to refer to him again at a later date.
Remember, even working from an outline, surprises do happen, and you might find a use later for a character you thought was going to appear only once. They have a way of doing that.

I read that book, "So Much Pretty" by Cara Hoffman. It was creepy, well done, and I couldn't put it down.
Your confusion about the protagonist is understandable. There are several characters, a couple of which receive almost equal time. But I'd say the protagonist is Stacy Flynn, the reporter. Even though Alice is the catalyst around which the climax of the story revolves, Stacy is the observer of everything that's going on and the outsider who is obsessed with the small town's refusal to investigate a terrible crime.

DONNER SUMMIT, Calif. - Donner Trail Elementary held their 16th Annual Yuba River Day at Donner Trail on Friday, Sept. 28. This event provides children in kindergarten through fifth-grade the opportunity to learn about the local environment and history with a scientific approach and hands-on learning.
Yuba River Day is the culmination of a week of learning activities. The entire week prior to the day, the students are learning about the balance of nature, conservation and habitats. Through a grant from the Tahoe Truckee Excellence in Education Foundation, the students in grade fourth and fifth learned about the life cycles and diets of owls. They dissected owl pellets and mapped all of their findings.
Funded by the school's PTO, the Banana Slug String Band played for the entire school and incorporated conservation and the importance of preserving the environment into their show. Each student had the opportunity to help with local habitat restoration. The Village Nursery offered discounted native plants and trees that students purchased to plant at the school on Yuba River Day. North Tahoe Fire Protection District attended the day and educated the students on water conservation/monitoring and fire ecology and fire safety.
Activities during Yuba River Day included actually getting into the Yuba River to identify various water bugs and learn about their habitats and the importance of maintaining the water quality of local rivers. Through another Excellence In Education grant, the students used waders, microscopes and learning materials to draw and label the types and body parts of the water bugs they found and then released them back to their habitats. Weather forecasting and the impacts of weather on the environment were taught as well.
They learned about area history and the Native American Washoe peoples who lived in the area. They were taught how the Washoe lived and worked by experiencing it. They built a shelter teepee made of cut willow branches and materials gathered at the school site. They drank tea made of pine needles and were shown handmade Washoe baskets that were used for gathering food. They even had the opportunity to play drums.
Thank you to all of the community businesses, firefighters, Excellence In Education and most especially the parents of Donner Trail students for making this valuable event happen every year.

ATTICA - Nothing against the teachers in the Carey school system, but after tonight, math will either be the favorite subject of the football players, or the least favorite.
After a dominating performance by the Blue Devils in a 35-0 victory against Seneca East, the playoff fate of the team rests in the numbers. If Sandusky St. Mary beats Margaretta tonight, the math will fall in Carey's favor and send the Blue Devils to Lima Central Catholic next Saturday in a first-round Division V Region 18 playoff game. A Margaretta win adds up to Carey being on the outside looking in with an 8-2 record, while Collins Western Reserve takes the final spot.
There were many factors that came into play to decide which teams got in the playoffs, and which teams did not, but the only thing Carey could control was the way it played when it made the trip to Attica.
"We worked all season long from two-a-days 'til this point to not end up coming out here and losing and not being able to get there, so we worked all week," Carey lineman Bryce Mullholand said. "We want the playoffs real bad."
It sure seemed like the Blue Devils came out playing with a purpose. It took just 48 seconds for Carey to light up the scoreboard.
On the game's second play from scrimmage, Austin Tschanen broke through the Seneca East defense and rumbled 62 yards for a touchdown. Less four minutes later, Carey struck again with Bryan Powers scampering 73 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 Carey lead.

"We wanted to set the tone quick," Mullholand said. "We figured if we jumped on them early, they'd get down a bit. ... We wanted to come out here, play in the rain and have fun in the mud."
"I was kind of surprised. We were able to hit a couple big runs there and broke a couple tackles. It wasn't that they weren't there, because they were, they were up there," Carey coach Todd Worst said of the Seneca East defense stacking the box to stop Carey's run game. "We were able to slip a tackle and later in the quarter we weren't. Just kind of by chance, we hit a couple early."
While Carey was racking up the yardage, Seneca East's defense was stuck in the mud.
Between the weather hampering the Tiger passing game, and a strong defensive effort from Carey, Seneca East was held to just two first downs and 1 net yard of offense in the first half.
"I'm not going to lie to you, I watched the weather all week. This was the exact opposite of the night I wanted," Seneca East coach Ed Phillips said. "We're a wide-open team that wants to throw the football and get in space and sling it around. Twenty-five mile-per-hour winds and hard rain all night is something that doesn't exactly go along with that. But we played well in it before.
"There was some chances we had, some opportunities we had, we just didn't capitalize on them."
Powers added a second touchdown run in the second quarter as Carey went into the locker room with a 21-0 advantage on the scoreboard, and a 278-1 advantage in yardage.
"Give all the credit in the world to Carey, cause they do a great job executing that offense," Phillips said. "It's always a difficult offense to defend because it's unique and they run it so well and sometimes it takes you a little while to see it and adjust to it. I thought the first quarter, obviously, they came out and hit us fast with it, but I thought our kids adjusted to it and I thought we made some plays. We played pretty well second through the fourth quarter defensively."
"We wanted to make sure that we came out and we executed like we should," Worst said. "The field really isn't in too bad of shape. It's really nice compared to ours after last week. So we wanted to make sure that we got our blocks and we did things the way we're supposed to. A little bit a rain, some of the passing teams don't like that and I think that was to our benefit tonight. We figured that if you want to play late in the season and you want to play well, then you need to take care of the ball and have some linemen that can do the job, and they did a good job tonight."
The linemen did their job, paving the way for 395 yards rushing, with three backs tallying 115 yards or more.
Tschanen led the way with 150 yards on 14 carries, and Justin Meek racked up 116 on 12 attempts and tacked on a touchdown of his own in the third quarter. Powers finished with 115 yards on 10 carries.
"We're just preaching in our heads, four yards each play that's what we try to do," Mullholand said. "We feel like if we do that, we do our job and the running backs get as many yards as possible.
"Its pretty nice. It feels real good. Coming in tomorrow, looking at the papers, seeing we had three guys we know we did our jobs."
The Carey defense did its job pretty well, too.
The Blue Devils never allowed Seneca East to get in an offensive rhythm. The Tigers finished the night with 50 yards of offense and only three plays over 10 yards.
"Even when I played back in the eighties, Carey was always been defense, defense, defense, defense," Worst said. "We understand with all the spread teams we're playing, the chance of you holding somebody to zero points is pretty slim. ... to perform like that is pretty good. We're pretty proud of the defense."
The defense even added a score of its own when Meek scooped up a fumble and scampered 27 yards for the game's final touchdown.
"When it rains, it pours," Phillips said. "That's what went through my head. ... when they scooped that fumble up at the end of the game and took it in.
"I was real pleased with the effort and how hard our kids hit and played in the second half. We had a couple nice drives, we didn't finish them off. At one point I thought we were going to put one or two in the end zone and I knew our defense was playing good, and I thought, maybe we'll give ourselves a chance to rally in the end. Then they scoop it and score, and that was kind of symbolic of the night, I guess."
Seneca East finishes with its second-straight 7-3 season.
"That's the first thing I told them when we came in," Phillips said. "I said 'I'm not going to dwell on this game, 'cause this isn't what our season was. I'm proud of the season we had."

India Snubs US in Tit-for-tat
By Santwana Bhattacharya - NEW DELHI
Published: 18th December 2013 07:26 AM
Last Updated: 18th December 2013 01:19 PM
The continuous humiliation of senior diplomat Devyani Khobragade in New York by authorities there snowballed into a major issue here, with top politicians, including Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, refusing to meet a US Congressional delegation on Tuesday, to register their strong protest.
A livid India expressed its deep disapproval over the senior diplomat's handcuffing, 'strip search' and her temporary incarceration in a cell with drug addicts after she was arrested for an alleged visa fraud relating to her absconding domestic help in New York last week, and responded with a slew of tit-for-tat measures.
Full text of the complaint registered against Indian Diplomat Devyani Khobragade by US Justice Department
In the tough retaliatory moves, New Delhi pared down the privileges of US diplomats in India, including asking the consular staff and their families to surrender their identity cards and withdrawing their airport passes. While the ID cards that entitle US diplomatic staff to special privileges were withdrawn by the Union Home Ministry after the Ministry of External Affairs sent it a list, the airport passes for consulates and import clearance for the embassy were also cancelled.
Read TNIE Editorial: Stop Special Facilities to American Diplomats
The extent of anger over the inhumane treatment meted out to the 39-year-old diplomat, who's the Deputy Consul General in New York, in violation of the Geneva Convention, was evident when the Delhi Police lifted the security barricades outside the US Embassy as part of the reciprocal act. India has also asked for visa and salary details of those employed in US consulates in the country, including those who work as domestic help at the homes of US diplomats as well as visa and salary details of teachers at US schools here to ascertain whether they were paying taxes.
High-level sources said there is "no question of taking back these measures till Khobragade is released." They also ruled out "accepting an apology" — "no question of accepting anything short of her release. She should be allowed to leave the country and we will negotiate on best diplomatic practices with the US after that."
Earlier in the day, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid admitted, "It's completely unacceptable. We've put in motion what we believe will be an effective way to address this issue and protect her (Khobragade's) dignity. Everything that can be done, will be done."
The remarks came along with the diplomatic snub given by the Lok Sabha Speaker, herself a former diplomat, to the US Congressional delegates. National Security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon too cancelled his meeting with the US team and termed the treatment meted out to Khobragade as "despicable'' and "barbaric''.

Three members of the Diamond Peak Ski Team represented the Far West Division well at the USSA Marriott Western Region J3 Junior Championships at Big Sky, Mont., from March 15-18.
Formerly known as the Junior Olympics, the event marks the highest level at which 13- and 14-year-olds can compete in the U.S.
Although bruised and battered, the Far West's top-seeded athletes dominated the competition, and it was apparent that on any given run, a number of Far West skiers from the middle and back of the pack were going to dethrone the top 10.
"It was amazing to watch how deep and talented the Far West field is, and our three Diamond Peak girls put in performances that were second to none," said Diamond Peak J3 Coach Eric Garayoa, referring to Lauren Keller, Amanda Pretti and Annika Hansen.
The event began with an intense super G. The speeds were higher and the track was riskier than any the competitors had previously seen this season. The super G eliminated Keller and Pretti. Pretti's crash — and significant blood loss — was enough for her coaches to question whether she should continue to compete, but she would have no such discussion. Pretti continued to push through it and toughed out four more runs over the next two days.
The giant slalom event eliminated a third of the field over two runs with tough course sets and deteriorating conditions. Hansen put up a fight in her first run, moving from 76th to 28th place and making the flip. Even more amazingly, Hansen finished third on the second run to move her to 10th overall in addition to earning the Hard Charger award for moving up 67 places in the standings.
The slalom was extremely challenging, eliminating all but one of the top-seeded Far West girls on the first run. Keller survived the first run, finishing 24th, then decided that she was there to compete and destroyed the field, moving up to finish 10th overall. Hansen moved from start position 46 to ninth place on the first run and was giving it her all when she straddled a hairpin in the second run and was disqualified.

A couple reportedly attempting to follow a detour using GPS ended up getting stranded for hours after their Jaguar became stuck in a deep puddle of water.
The first call for service came in at about 2 p.m. Wednesday, when the male driver reported to the California Highway Patrol that he was stuck on Chalk Bluff Road.
At one point, the man reported he could not get out because water was entering the vehicle when he opened the door.
"They were trying to get to a friend's house in Grass Valley," said Ryan Condon of Advanced Towing, the tow truck driver who eventually pulled the sedan out.
"They went through about 15 deep puddles" in the dirt road before they got stuck, Condon said.
According to Condon, the 2013 Jaguar was totaled.
It took the tow truck about two hours to get there and another two hours to remove the car, he said.

As the season changes from summer to autumn, Tiffin-Seneca United Way begins its annual fundraising campaign to generate funds for the coming year. At noon Friday, section and division chairpersons are to have an organizational meeting at North Central Ohio Educational Service Center on West Market Street. Many plans and events already have been mapped out.
"I am proud to announce that Kelly Hohman and Eric Shook have stepped up to be our leaders this year," said Pat DeMonte, United Way director. "They are two dynamic people in our community, and I'm excited to work with them. They bring a lot of energy and compassion for the community."
Hohman is to serve as the 2012 chairwoman, assisted by Shook as vice chairman. DeMonte emphasized the campaign is volunteer-driven. Even though raising funds for community needs is a serious endeavor, the campaign leaders are trying to add an element of fun to the effort by choosing a super hero theme. Hohman said one of their goals is to "create a caring community" whose giving will continue into the future.

Eric Shook
"You don't have to wear a T-shirt or a cape. You can be a 'super hero' in someone else's life, whether you give, volunteer or advocate," she said. "What you do today affects generations from now."
"Anybody can be a super hero, not just by donating money. There's a lot of ways to be a super hero," Shook added.
In addition to Hohman and Shook are four section chairpersons: Sara Risen, Simon Castellucio, Chris Lee and Dave Shelton. Split into several divisions, each section has its own monetary goal. The Super Hero Online Auction in August served as the United Way kick-off event. The 51 items donated by local businesses and individuals brought in a total of $4,369. Donations also are to be collected at the Super Hero "Fest-Of-All" Sept. 29 (see box).
Fact Box
Everyone can be a part of United Way family event
Super Hero "Fest-Of-All" is scheduled for noon-3 p.m. Sept. 29 at Tiffin University's new Heminger Center on Miami Street. Children age 12 and younger are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. The fee for adults is $1 or a non-perishable food item. "Super Hero" T-shirts and stickers are to be given to anyone who donates $10 or more. The festivities include inflatable attractions, face painting, sporting activities, children's games, music, 50/50 raffle and a live remote radio broadcast.
"The primary and associate agencies are going to have booths available. They can provide entertainment for the kids. We're going to have concessions with festival-type foods," said Kelly Hohman, 2012 United Way campaign chairman.
In addition to raising awareness about the campaign, the festival is intended to show children the value of service to the wider community. The United Way agencies make their services available to anyone with an emergency, such as a fire, sudden illness or unemployment. These crises can strike anyone at any time.
"I think a lot of people might have the misconception that you have to be at a certain income level to receive services, when in fact, if you need the services, they're available. No one knows when their needs are going to arise," Hohman said.
The Super Hero festival includes a costume contest at 1 p.m. Youth are invited to "come as the Super Hero you are with your own superpowers," or they can come as someone they respect and look up to. Adults and children can take the hero theme a step farther by nominating special people in their lives for awards.
"We'd like for people to nominate heroes in their lives, everyday heroes ... someone who has made a difference, someone that might not get recognized - the Clark Kents of the world," said United Way director, Pat DeMonte.
The hero awards are to be given in the following categories: community action, youth vision, health, education and income awareness. Applications can be obtained at the United Way office or online at www.tsunitedway.org.
The United Way campaign goal for 2012 is the same as it was a year ago - $500,000. DeMonte said the 2011 campaign ended with a respectable $491,000.
"We know the need is still out there. There's no sense in lowering it, because the needs don't get lowered," Hohman said.
In addition to First Call For Help, the United Way assists 22 agencies. DeMonte said people always are encouraged to "give where they live." On the pledge forms, donors can designate a specific agency to receive their personal contributions.
"I think it's important to let people know also, if they work outside of the area, they can ask that their United Way dollars from another county be sent back to Seneca County," Shook said.
Many companies ask their employees to set up a payroll deduction plan for the United Way. Others conduct in-house "rallies" for workers to turn in cash and pledges. Hohman said people whose workplaces do not participate in the campaign can make their contributions online with a credit card.
DeMonte said people who have retired or changed employment and still want to give can obtain a brochure and pledge form at the United Way office, 201 S. Washington St., or online at www.tsunitedway.org. Any company interested in having a United Way representative speak at their workplace should contact the United Way at (419) 448-4357.
"We would like to be able to talk to more businesses and their employees. It's not about giving huge amounts of money. If everybody gives a little, it will help." DeMonte said.
The campaign has its main push in October, when pledge cards go out. The cards are to be returned by November so the local United Way can decide how much money still is needed. Everything is to wrap up in March 2013. The 2012 campaign also is planning to recognize "loyal contributors" who have invested in the community for five consecutive years or more. A section of the brochure has been set aside for these long-time donors to submit.
Also in the works is the annual Day of Caring, set for Oct. 20. Volunteers are to gather at 8:15 a.m. at the Opportunity Center for registration and breakfast. Each year, Girl Scouts and more than 250 volunteers sign up to help with tasks such as collecting food for the Harvest For Hunger, cleaning up litter, yard work at the senior centers and projects for other charities.
For more information about Tiffin Seneca United Way, call or stop at the office, visit the website or see the agency's Facebook page.

UPDATE: Death of young boy is being called suspicious
A man accused of injuring his girlfriend's son so badly it caused his death has been formally charged with homicide.
According to the criminal complaint, Marcus Johnson, 25 of Racine, said he was watching the three-year-old child when he left him alone in the bathtub and he "went under the water." He said he gave him CPR but his lips began turning blue.
The mother of the child called 911 40 minutes later.
When police arrived, they saw that the three-year-old "had a full buttocks burn that did not burn other parts of the body." Police said in order for that to happen, he would have had to have been dipped into scalding water that way.
The medical examiner also found wounds on his face consistent with being punched in the face, and what looked like seven or eight whip-like marks on his legs. She also saw numerous bruises all over his body.
Johnson had been charged with First-Degree Intentional Homicide, Repeater.
The funeral for the child will be held in Racine on Wednesday, May 15. The family asks that people wear blue ribbons to stand against child abuse.
Mount Pleasant police have made an arrest in the death of a 3-year-old boy.
According to Mount Pleasant Police Chief Tim Zarzecki, police and paramedics received a call at about 10:10 a.m. Friday for an unresponsive child.
Racine County Medical Examiner Mike Payne says 3-year-old Hunter J. Wise was pronounced dead about 20 minutes later at a Racine hospital.
Later that day, police arrested a male on tentative charges of first-degree intentional homicide in connection with the child's death. He's being held at the Racine County Jail pending formal charging by the district attorney's office.
Payne tells the Journal Times (http://bit.ly/17i3eUN) that medical examiner officials started the boy's autopsy Saturday morning but results likely won't be available until Monday.
Mount Pleasant police are investigating the death of a 3-year-old boy.
Police Chief Tim Zarzecki says police got a call around 10:10 a.m. Friday about an unresponsive boy. The boy was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Zarzecki calls the death suspicious.
Racine County Medical Examiner Mike Payne would not elaborate but says it was not a natural death.
The Journal Times (http://bit.ly/ZOqAda) reports the police chief says no one was in custody as of Friday afternoon.

I love horses. I love San Juan Capistrano. I spend my days outdoors – teaching, riding and caring for horses in a town that embraces the equestrian life-style. I think that makes me the luckiest guy in the world.
Horses have been my passion since I first climbed on one at the old Smith Stables in Capistrano Beach. In the years since then, I've had the opportunity to ride some amazing horses and to learn all aspects of the business from some of the finest professional horse people on the West Coast. My program today is indebted to those many teachers, the two-legged and the four-legged ones. My goal is to provide the best possible training and care for the horses, while encouraging my riders to experience the same challenges and joy in the sport that I do."

The first college football preseason rankings are out in the form of the USA Today/ESPN poll, and to little surprise, the Oklahoma Sooners are ranked No. 1 in the country by the coaches heading into the 2011 season.
The Sooners received 42 of 59 first place votes, with Alabama (13), Oregon (2) and LSU (2) coming in right behind OU.
Florida State was fifth, followed by Stanford, Boise State, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Wisconsin rounding out the top 10.
While the Sooners might not be a surprise choice, there are certainly other teams in the poll—and some not in the poll—worth breaking down and discussing.

ALBANY - Now the clock is really ticking.
The Cuomo administration and Seneca Nation of Indians Wednesday agreed on the membership of an arbitration panel to decide their dispute over casino exclusivity and whether the Senecas wrongfully halted $460 million in casino payments to the state and three host communities.
The panel has no firm deadline for acting and will set its own schedule, but sources close to the talks said they expect a decision by the end of the year or early in 2013.
Among its allegations, the tribe claims the state breached the terms of its exclusivity deal by permitting gambling at racetrack-based casinos.
The panel's decision in the matter will be binding.
Niagara Falls and Salamanca have been particularly hard hit by the loss of casino money and have had to cut services and staff.
The three-member panel will determine whether the state, as the tribe alleges, violated the terms of a 2002 casino compact by allowing in new forms of gambling the Senecas say are barred from a large area of Western New York.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo selected Henry Gutman, a Manhattan lawyer and big-time Democratic Party contributor, who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Cuomo and other New York Democrats in recent years.
The Seneca Nation tapped University of Arkansas Law School Dean Stacy Leeds. She is considered an expert on Indian law and other legal areas. She is also a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Indians and the first Native American to serve as dean of a law school, the tribe said.
The third panelist, selected by both sides, will be Judith Kaye, the former chief judge of the state's highest court. She will serve as the panel's chairwoman. Kaye was chosen for the Court of Appeals by the governor's father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, and Andrew Cuomo, while he was attorney general, tapped Kaye as an independent counsel to investigate several controversial allegations involving the Paterson administration, including allegations of domestic abuse involving a gubernatorial adviser.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Buffalo Bulls will be glad to get out of Michigan.
UB completed a two-game swing through the Wolverine State on Wednesday with its second straight loss, 65-46, to Eastern Michigan before 522 at the Convocation Center.
The loss, which followed UB's 71-60 defeat at Western Michigan on Saturday, dropped Buffalo to 8-15 overall and 3-6 in the Mid-American Conference.
The Eagles (11-11, 4-4) came in averaging just 53.1 points per game, but scored 37 in the first half to take a four-point lead into the break.
UB cut the lead to 37-35 after a layup by Javon McCrea to open the second half, but the Eagles went on a 16-4 run over the next 9 minutes and UB never got within single digits again, scoring just 13 in the second half. The Bulls' point total was just the second time all season they have been held under 50.
McCrea led UB with 15 points, while Will Regan added 12. Glenn Bryant led Eastern Michigan with 17 points.
The Bulls next host Northern Illinois at Alumni Arena at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Corn versus ethanol: continuing the debate
Corn versus ethanol: continuing the debate
China needs it. Ethanol plants need it. And so do American's dairy producers. With a smaller-than-anticipated corn crop, how do we balance domestic, global, and industry needs for corn?
The first ethanol-run vehicle was developed in Philadelphia in 1826. Therefore, we would not be having this discussion if prohibition hadn't occurred. This was one of the opening comments made at the Pennsylvania Dairy Summit's session Ethanol – Friend or Foe held in Lancaster, Pa.
Henry Ford's original models ran on ethyl alcohol, better known today as ethanol. Ethyl alcohol though was a by-product of distilleries. When prohibition went into effect, Ford's supply dried up.
"Today, there are between 402 and 409 ethanol plants in 29 states throughout the U.S.," noted panelist John Nikoloff, president of ERG Partners and Pennsylvania Energy Resources Group. In Pennsylvania, 11 plants were proposed in 2005 – only one was ever built. But this plant eventually closed; now the nearest ethanol plants and sources of corn distillers grains for Pennsylvania farmers are in Fulton and Medina, N.Y.
Ethanol has gained strength and corn prices have risen for a few key reasons, noted Nikoloff. First, legislation in Pennsylvania banned the use of MTBE as an oxygenator in gasoline; this was replaced with ethanol. Second, there was a surge in oil prices. Without the addition of ethanol, gasoline would cost an additional $0.12 per gallon. Finally, the instability of currency and the deregulation of trading commodities in 1999 played a critical role in the ethanol/corn controversy.
"In 2005, the corn price was $2.05. In 2008, it was $5.25. Today, corn hovers near $7 per bushel," noted Leon Ressler, county extension director in Lancaster. He also asked how many audience members felt the rise in corn prices was due to ethanol subsidies.
His response: "From 2006 to 2009, the corn price rose $1.65. Only 8 percent of this price increase was due to subsidies. Another 45 cents came from production costs. After analysis, even without the subsidies, the pattern of corn prices would have stayed the same – there would have been no impact on the price we received."
"Today, we are flatlining on ethanol production, but corn supplies will continue to be tight. In the past few years, China has had 300 million people move from poverty to the middle class. As this happens, there is a higher demand for meat and protein products. To increase the consumption of meat, corn usage will concurrently rise," noted Richard Cole, director of PACMA.
Cole concluded that while we often import ethanol from Brazil, a country that is able to make a lower-cost ethanol with sugar cane, with its shortages last year, we exported some of our product to South America.
The next webinar is on Monday, February 13. Veterinarian Garrett Oetzel will discuss "Preventing and treating ketosis." An associate professor of food animal production medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Oetzel regularly consults herds on nutrition and cow care. His hands-on approach tackles nutritional risk factors, and the webinar will focus on ketosis' impact on cow performance. The webinar is brought to you by Elanco.

Renault has recently revealed that it's developing an all-new sports car and is considering resurrecting a brand that has been dormant for almost 20 years – Alpine.
Speaking at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week, Renault product manager Beatrice Foucher said that the next-generation Megane and Laguna will be built on a common C/D platform and this same platform will spawn a sports car. "We need conventional cars as well as innovative cars", Foucher said. "It's very early, but we will have at least one coupe in the line-up off the new platform."
Foucher went on to state, "We're working on an Alpine. It's a possibility and we're looking at what an Alpine would be in a RenaultSport line-up."
It may be time for this once famous car brand to return. For those who are unfamiliar with Alpine- here's a brief history lesson.
Alpine was originally founded in 1955 by Jean Redele, who used a humble Renault 4CV to build small coupes with a glass fibre body and stiffened chassis. Its first model was the A106, a small coupe based on a 4CV. In the 1960s, Alpine started a closer cooperation with Renault taking part in motorsport events and achieving success.

Critical mass, that's an apt description for the number of competitors expected to be on the water this weekend when Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week gets underway on Friday, April 19. Nearly 300 sailboat owners from across the U.S. and six other countries have registered to compete, effectively rendering this the largest regatta of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. (There were 296 at press time.)
This year, Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week has grown by more than 15 percent, attracting sailors of all stripes, from novices in the sport to professional crews. The majority of participants – roughly 85 percent – come from places other than South Carolina. In fact, there will be nearly as many boats arriving from places west of the Mississippi River as there will be from the entire palmetto state.
"We're really pleased to see how popular this regatta has become," said event director Randy Draftz in a news release. "We've always been committed to the highest quality of race management on the water and superb shoreside hospitality, and I think that formula really works. We're also fortunate to have one of the most desirable sailing venues in the country as well as a terrific assembly of sponsors, beginning with Sperry Top-Sider, our title sponsor for the past three years."
Draftz added that almost every aspect of the regatta has grown significantly over the past year. "Now, we've not only got more competitors than ever before, but we've also attracted more sponsors, and we're getting more exposure. Our 30-second commercial on Outside Television has been airing in markets across the country (meaning 8 million households) for several weeks now."
No doubt the biggest growth area this year is among the smaller, trailerable keelboats that race inshore. Included here will be a 56-boat class of J/70s, a design that had barely been introduced a year before and a 39-boat fleet of Viper 640s. "In all, it appears that we'll have over 200 boats in Charleston Harbor," explained Draftz, "so it's going to be an amazing sight from almost any perspective. It's definitely a record year for us."
Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week runs from April 18 through April 21 and is open to all monohull sailboats 20 to 80 feet in length. The event is owned and managed by Charleston Ocean Racing Association, and is supported by Sperry Top-Sider, the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina, Vineyard Vines and Gosling's Rum. Additional sponsors include the Town of Mount Pleasant, Gill, Coral Reef Sailing Apparel, North Sails, B&G/Simrad, Dimension Polyant, Roper St. Francis Healthcare, Eelsnot, Marlow, Bainbridge, Newport Shipyard and Torqueedo Outboards, along with Charleston Community Sailing, West Marine, Pierside Boatworks, College of Charleston Sailing Association, Harken, Cricket, Lewmar, Azalea Moving and Storage, Other Brother Entertainment, Sail Charleston and Zip2Water.com.

After starting her own business in Tiffin last year, Shiela Graham now is reaching out with her business partner and sister to other women entrepreneurs in the area.
Graham said Tuesday morning, she and her sister will host a first-time meet-up for women in the Tiffin community, hoping to establish and grow a group of women who "can actively work to support each other" in their individual enterprises and on social media.
Graham said she has lived in a number of large cities throughout the country, and similar women's groups are commonplace in those areas. She said she and her sister felt there is a "need for a women's networking group in Tiffin."
Also, she said, a number of a small businesses have opened recently in downtown Tiffin which are owned by women.
"Its important to support these women," she said.
The meeting us to take place 7:30-9 a.m. at Bailiwicks Coffee Co., Graham said, and simply with be an informal "meet-up" to get an idea of the amount of interest in such a group. If the "grassroots" idea gathers enough support, she said, the group will be called Women Optimizing Women.
Graham said anyone interested in attending should simply arrive at Bailiwicks at 7:30 a.m. and bring a business card and a friend, if possible. Each business card will be added to a fishbowl as the start of a company network, she said, and those attending will take time to discuss different ways to support each other in the community and on various platforms of social media.

The early small game seasons coincide with the best part of the archery deer season. So this upcoming week means skulking around the woods for squirrels and grouse scratches the hunter's itch. But archers seldom cheer when grouse and squirrel hunters chase their quarry noisily close to their carefully chosen deer stands.
Squirrel potpie and fried squirrel were staples of the early American settlers. Our forefathers were quite adept at "barking" squirrels, that is, shooting just underneath a squirrel sitting on a limb so that the concussion dispatched it. That method did not ruin the meat like a direct hit from the muzzleloader would. Few modern cooks would know where to start if presented with a half dozen squirrels to prepare for dinner.
Squirrels will be where acorns and corn are, that's for sure. And where you see squirrels, you'll generally see deer and turkeys since they all love the same foods. Squirrel populations may be reduced in areas where last year's mast crop failed or was extremely poor. Winter survival is largely determined by the available food supply cached by squirrels during the previous fall. If overwinter survival of females was poor and body condition of survivors weakened, squirrel numbers will likely be reduced this fall in those areas. Adult gray and fox squirrels older than 14 months can have two litters with two to three young each year under favorable food conditions. During food-stressed years, one litter is typical.
I learned how to sneak quietly around the woods by hunting squirrels. Bushytails, if they catch one glimpse of movement, will scramble for the safety of a tree. When I would hunt with a buddy, we used the old technique of the shooter staying still watching one side of the tree while the other hunter shuffled around to the other side of the tree. Squirrels can't count so of course, they would scramble around to the opposite side of the tree where the shooter was staked out, presenting a good target for the hunter.
If you hunted alone and saw a squirrel running through the woods you chased him until he treed, then you'd noisily take off your coat and hat and drape them over a bush, then sneak back to the other side of the tree and wait. If the squirrel wasn't spooked back to your side of the tree, you'd heave a couple rocks onto the leaves near your coat and the noise would usually propel the squirrel within your view. It was all a lot of fun.
As I got older and less able to chase around the woods after racing squirrels, I learned to position myself in the woods where squirrel food (oaks and beechnuts and cornfields) abundant. Then I'd wait. This is when I noticed that I saw not only squirrels, but deer and turkeys too, as I quietly waited. It didn't take long, as a rule, after I'd sit down, before squirrels would appear and offer me a variety of good shots.
The woods of Clinton County where I lived for some years were full of black squirrels. They were a challenge different from the grays. Black squirrels are simply a melanistic phase of gray squirrels but their unusual coloring caused them to be spookier than the grays. Or so I thought.
I found out early on that the black squirrels, if you chased them with the idea of treeing them, usually outsmarted me, or should I say, outran me. They didn't scramble up the first big tree, they would run and run and run in a straight line. They most always won that foot race. So I began to just post myself quietly and wait. After the woods quieted down, the blacks would appear. I've bagged quite a few black squirrels in my day but never had one mounted. I regret that now.

LISBON - New gas drilling applications have again slowed to a crawl, with only two new well permits sought and/or approved in the past month or so.
The new permit applications in recent weeks were:
- Hartz well off Crestview Road in Fairfield Township.
- Tritten well off state Route 172 in Center Township.
Both applicants are Chesapeake Exploration.
This brings to 53 the number of natural gas wells permits issued for Columbiana County since July 2010. Less than half have been drilled, and only one is currently in production, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website.
The following are the permitted sites by township, but there can be more than one well per site:
Butler, 5; Center, 4; Elkrun, 7; Fairfield, 4; Franklin 3; Hanover, 9; Knox, 4; Madison, 2; Middleton, 5; Salem, 4; Unity, 2; Washington, 2; West, 2.
