It's weird because apparently this year and I seemed to start off on the wrong foot. But now, settling into it, things are beginning to click and not really make sense but just finally work. Normally all this instability would have me in knots, but I had an adjustment at the chiropractor the other day and am just going with the flow. I'll have more bloodwork done this week and hope for real answers this time. I am feeling okay.
We are no longer down to one car- Jeff and I both got new-to-us vehicles within the past week. I went to Indy yesterday, yes, the Super Bowl was there, and I sat in the audience for Jimmy Fallon's Live Special after the game with my friend June. It was an awesome day not planned much at all, kind of just happened thanks to us showing up and friends offering help and me accepting it. Emily let us park at her house and then she dropped us off to get tickets before she drove herself to church. When we had no place to go mid-day until the show started late last night, Sarah picked us up downtown and brought us to her home, where she fed us and threw a Super Bowl party with other fabulous friends like Katy and Erin (and Emily again!), whom I am all the better for being able to visit with and enjoy.
Yesterday June and I ate gorgeous sushi for lunch in downtown Indy and later rocked out to this, live, with exploding confetti and onstage fireworks. Today, back home, Jeff and I took Ivy for her first sushi (she liked the gyoza, miso soup, some happy roll and Ramune) and later we sat in the school auditorium for the boys' choir concert. I will not compare myself yesterday and today, nor the two events. I am thankful that I was her then, and her now. I don't have to settle or make excuses, explanations for one or the other. Both were equally amazing. Both have their own kind of fireworks.
"Everything is coming up Milhouse!" I told June. We delighted in each little thing the entire day. The moon in the dark morning as we drove I-65 at 5 am. The friendliness of strangers, the perfect timing, the too good to be true (but true), the weather, the parking spot, the hot dogs after the show.
There's this new ease that I had somehow previously resisted without even knowing it, and now I'm leaning in. Like it scratches that itch in just the right spot. The one you forgot about but now remember in its absence and you think, this is living.

HANOVERTON - Using a stifling defense, Salem was able to spoil United's senior night with a 45-21 victory on Wednesday.
Salem finished 16-6 in the regular season.
"We did a good job defensively," Hart said. "We just struggled transitioning the turnovers into points. We missed too many easy layups."
The Quakers used a full-court press early and often, forcing a young United squad to make hurried shots and sloppy turnovers. United trailed 24-2 at the half and did not score a field goal until the third quarter. The Eagles only first-half points were two free throws from Braden Davison.
Despite the low score, it was actually a record-breaking night for Salem senior Ryan Bush. He broke Salem's single-season scoring record of 500 points held by Bill Beery since 1963, but it was not of much concern to Bush.
"Yeah I heard," Bush said. "I really didn't care. They always try to look for me since I'm the scorer. (Brendan) Webb, our point guard, does a good job of spreading the ball. We did a good job on defense too."
Fact Box
SALEM SCORING: Ryan Bush 5-5-15, Austin Frank 1-3-5, Mike Madison 0-0-0, Zack Wakotich 2-0-4, Brendan Webb 2-0-4, Brooks Bezon 0-0-0, Mike Popa 0-0-0, Zach Economus 1-2-5, Rocco Davanzo 1-0-2, Max Wolfgang 3-1-7, Eric Madison 1-1-3 TOTALS: 16, 12-27: 45.
UNITED SCORING: Brandon Miller 0-0-0, Caleb Berdine 1-1-4, Garrett Beech 0-0-0, Cody Dickens 0-0-0, Andrew Martin 0-0-0, Ben Sell 0-0-0, Caleb Conser 2-0-4, Braden Davison 2-5-9, Jake Wolni 1-2-4, Nick Althouse 0-0-0, Tyler Plummer 0-0-0, Brandon Whaley 0-0-0 TOTALS: 6, 8-14: 21.
Three-pointers: Salem 1 (Economus), United 1 (Berdine).
Bush led all scorers with 15 points. He raised his season total to 502 points, averaging 22.8 points a game.
"You've got to know where he is at all times," United coach Matt Mowery said. "If you had told me before the game that we would hold him to 15 points I would actually be pleased."
Bush wasn't Salem's only offensive weapon. Max Wolfgang added seven points and eight rebounds, while Austin Frank chipped in five points and five rebounds.
The 21 points were a season low for the Eagles, who scored in the 20s for the fifth game this season.
Davison led United with nine points, while Garrett Beech had seven rebounds. United drops to 2-20, but Mowery was pleased with his team's effort for this game, as well as for the future.
"Salem scores 70 points a game," he said. "We tried to hold the ball and work for good shots. We shot too many threes, missed some layups. They just weren't falling for us tonight. Defensively I was pleased. We didn't give up. The second half was basically even. Salem has (10) seniors on their team. We have two. This is a young team. Everyone will be back next year."
Both teams open sectional tournament play next week. Salem will take on Lakeview in Boardman on Tuesday. United will face the RootsownLouisville St. Aquinas in Salem on Wednesday.
In junior varsity action, Salem handed United a 45-28 defeat. Salem's Ryan Hoover led all scorers with 19. United's Ben Sell had 10.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
Tom Brady missed nearly an entire season with torn knee ligaments. Peyton Manning was sidelined all last season by neck surgery and nerve damage that weakened his throwing arm.
That might have been the beginning of the end for lesser quarterbacks.
Not for Brady and Manning, winners of four Super Bowls and six MVP awards between them.
They�ll renew their long-running competition today one week after their outstanding performances in the latest of their many victories. Brady�s only team, the New England Patriots, will host Manning�s new team, the Denver Broncos. Both are 2-2.
�You�re looking at two of the best quarterbacks to play over the last decade,� Denver coach John Fox said. �Without a doubt, when their careers are over � hopefully not anytime soon for either one of them � they�ll be first-ballot Hall of Fame players.�
Brady, 35, has said he wants to play into his 40s. Manning, 36, hasn�t been as specific but shows no signs of wanting to stop.
Not long ago, though, Manning�s future was cloudy. On Sept. 8, 2011 he underwent spinal fusion surgery, the fourth operation on his neck in 19 months.
�I went through the entire rehab process and saw doctors, and if the doctor had advised me not to play, then I would not play,� Manning said. �I certainly didn�t need a year off to re-emphasize how much I enjoy playing.�
And he�s playing very well after leaving the Indianapolis Colts as a free agent.
In last Sunday�s 37-6 win over the Oakland Raiders, Manning completed 30 of 38 passes for 338 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. For the season, he�s connected on 64.7 percent of his passes for 1,162 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions.
�Looks real good, as he always does,� Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. �I don�t think anybody that we play against is any better in terms of recognizing what the defense is in and where they�re weak and vulnerable and how to get to plays that hurt it.�
That may be because Belichick doesn�t have to play against his own quarterback.
Brady also is coming off his best game of the season. He directed the Patriots to touchdowns on six consecutive second-half possessions in a 52-28 rout of the Buffalo Bills and finished 22 of 36 for 340 yards with a season-high three touchdowns and no interceptions.
He wasn�t nearly as impressive early in the 2009 season, his first after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his left knee. He was hurt in the first quarter of the first game of the previous season.
�It�s a challenge because you�re very rusty. At least I was,� Brady said. �We didn�t have a great year in �09 when I did come back. It was a very up and down year for us as a team. Peyton has obviously worked very hard, and the level that he plays at now, it doesn�t look like he missed any time.�
The two quarterbacks are friends, and Brady said that while he was sidelined in 2008, Manning reached out to him.
�It meant a lot to me,� Brady said. �My first start of my career I met Peyton on the field before the game. He was out there warming up. I went over there, and he said, �I�m Peyton Manning�. I was thinking, �Of course, I know that.�
�It�s nice when we�re going through some things to bounce an idea off of one another. It�s really grown over the years. We�ve known each other for a long time. We talk about a lot of things. We see each other off the field quite a few times over the years.�
It�s when Brady and Manning are on the field where fans marvel at � and often compare � their skills.
They first played each other in the third game of 2001, a 44-13 Patriots win over Indianapolis in Brady�s first career start. The Colts moved out of the AFC East in 2002, but the teams have met in every season from 2003 to 2011 and three times in the postseason. In head-to-head matchups, Brady has a 6-3 record against Manning in the regular season and 2-1 in the playoffs.
Denver safety Rahim Moore, 13 years younger than Brady, watched him on television before being drafted in the second round last year.
�It�s the real deal now,� Moore said. �I think him and Peyton are the greatest to ever do it. It shows every week on the field.�
But as they usually do before their teams meet, Brady and Manning downplay their individual matchup and emphasize that games are decided by the performances of the entire teams.
�I know it�s a boring, boring answer, but it�s Broncos vs. the Patriots,� Manning said.
Despite their .500 records, both teams� two losses have been close.
Denver fell to two of the NFL�s three unbeaten teams, the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans, by six points each. The Patriots lost to the Arizona Cardinals by two points when Stephen Gostkowski missed a 42-yard field goal attempt on the next to last play and to the Baltimore Ravens by one point when Justin Tucker connected on a 27-yard field goal on the final play.
But last Sunday, the Patriots became just the second team in NFL history with a 300-yard passer (Brady), two receivers (Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski) with at least 100 yards, and two runners (Brandon Bolden and Stevan Ridley) with at least 100 yards.
The Broncos also have a balanced offense. Willis McGahee rushed for 112 yards last Sunday, and Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker are dangerous receivers at Manning�s disposal.
New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was Denver�s head coach in 2009 and 2010 but said he has no special feelings about facing the Broncos.
�It�s just the next game,� he said.
The Patriots aren�t putting much stock in last season�s wins over Denver with Tim Tebow as the Broncos starting quarterback.
Now, of course, the Broncos have replaced Tebow�s scattershot arm with Manning�s precision. Brady figures the Patriots will have to score a lot.
�You�re not blind to the fact that there�s a great player on the other side of the ball that is capable of having a great performance,� he said. �You can�t think that you�re going to score 20 points and think it�s good enough or 30 points and think it�s good enough.�
The Broncos feel the same.
�As long as Tom Brady wakes up and his arm is working, anything can happen,� Moore said.

Joshua Collins, 19, of Willard, was killed when the 1998 Chevrolet S10 he was driving collided with another truck near Attica early Saturday morning.
Life Flight prepares to take off in a field near a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado that was involved in the crash.
Collins' vehicle stopped at the stop sign, started through the intersection and was struck in the driver's side by Waldock's vehicle, it states.
Both vehicles overturned several times and came to rest on the northeast side of the intersection, said Sgt. Brett Gockstetter of the Fremont post of State Highway Patrol.
David Tripp, 11, of Republic, a passenger in Collins' vehicle, was taken by Life Flight to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center. He was in fair condition Saturday evening, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Another passenger, Johni Hamons, 15, of Republic, was taken to Willard Mercy Hospital. Waldock was taken to Mercy Tiffin Hospital. Hamons and Waldock had non-life-threatening injuries, according to the release.
Waldock was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, and blood results were pending Saturday, it states.
Personnel from Attica EMS, Attica-Venice-Reed fire, Bloomville fire and EMS, Republic fire and EMS, Seneca County Sheriff's Office and State Highway Patrol responded to the accident. Also, Bascom and Green Springs EMS were put on standby as a result of the accident.
The crash occurred about 1:19 a.m., according to the release.

FIFA has always been great for those soccer enthusiasts. Now it has a 5 vs 5 gameplay that allows the whole gang to join the fun. Visuals and controls are more enhanced for your gaming pleasure.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
This new version of the series features a Hit the Streets Mode that takes place on an environment that is not very conducive to soccer games. Some of which is the basketball gym and a Moroccan prison that is all covered with dirt with all the eerie presence. These environments enable you to pull some tricks to make each game more challenging. You can bounce the ball off through walls so to create a projectile-like motion of the ball as well as dribble the ball on the rough floor to change the balls' direction.
As you go through the game, you will discover that this version has some new tricks up on its sleeve. You can now use power ups that enables you to do special shots, knock the other team down and so on. This years release is pretty much straightforward with regard to its gameplay you will definitely notice that this is far better than its predecessors. Now, you can also do two actions in just pressing one button. FIFA 11 merges the actions pass and cross in one button command. This will seem difficult at first because passing needs to suit every specific situation, however; with proper training, you will be able to execute these actions with the one button in no time.
The standard tournament modes like Streets to Stadiums and Battle for Glory can still be witnessed in this year's release. The mechanics for the Streets to Stadiums enables you to create a pro player that will compete on a set of 5 vs. 5 games which are all required in order to complete a certain objective. Once you complete these objectives, you will be rewarded with a boost in experience that is essential to upgrade your skills. On the other hand, the Battle of Glory mode is pretty much the same as the standard Manager mode of its predecessors. It has new set of visual enhancements but still posses the same mechanics like its previous versions. As a whole, FIFA 11 brings about more fun and challenges.

Ex-Kansas firefighter pleads guilty to 3 arsons
District attorney says Cody Knox used lighter to set grass fires
Published 11:08 AM CDT Sep 06, 2013

The Hutchinson News reported Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder previously said Knox used a cigarette lighter to set the fires, all of which occurred near Arlington last October and November.
At the time of the fires, Knox was studying fire science at Hutchinson Community College.

Bungry is characterized by extreme hungry which he satiates with a snapple AND an apple. Bungry appears to be a hobo with no money because he spends it all on getting his lucious fro.

STEUBENVILLE -An attorney representing one of two Steubenville High School student-athletes who have been charged in an alleged rape case filed motions in Jefferson County juvenile court Friday that seek a change of venue, ask that the upcoming trial be closed to the public and media and request a continuance of the trial.
Attorney Walter Madison, who represents Ma'lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville, has said social media comments about the case have caused potential witnesses to stop talking to him. He also said the environment created by the social media content is forcing people not to become directly involved in the case.
"Too much is going on in the county," he said, referring to cyber threats, an email that shut down the police chief's computer and schools being placed on lockdown because of safety concerns.
"No one wants to voluntarily make themselves a victim of that," Madison said in reference to witnesses who have stopped talking to him about the case.
Visiting Judge Tom Lipps took part in a conference call with juvenile court officials on Friday concerning the motions filed by Madison. The court did not release copies of the motions that were filed.
The trial for Richmond and Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale is scheduled to begin on Feb. 13 in the Jefferson County Justice Center. Mays also has been charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. There will be no jury. Lipps will make the decision of guilt or innocence. Attorneys for both defendants have denied the charges in court.
Mays' attorney, Adam Nemann of Columbus, was not part of the motion filed in juvenile court on Friday.
Nemann has been quoted in media accounts of the case as saying he is concerned that the postings on social media may result in potential witnesses being reluctant to testify and may invoke their Fifth Amendment right of self-incrimination in criminal cases.
City Police Chief William McCafferty said his department has not received any complaints about threats from persons who may be called to testify in the case.
Juvenile court officials said special precautions will be in place for the trial to protect witnesses so there is no security risk to persons in the justice center during the trial.
Witnesses said the alleged incident occurred on the night of Aug. 11 into the morning of Aug. 12. The victim's parents came to City Police on Aug. 14 to file a report.
Lipps ruled on Oct. 12 there was probable cause for the case to go to trial. Lipps decided on Nov. 1 that Mays and Richmond will remain in juvenile court and not have their case transferred to adult court.

In the ten years since the September 11 terrorist attacks, international terrorist organizations have frequently attempted sequels to the events of that day. No such attempts on American soil have succeeded, a testament to America's law enforcement agencies and intelligence services and to those of its allies. International terrorism, however, still remains the biggest potential threat to American security.
Though law enforcement and intelligence agencies have prevented any further attacks similar to 9/11 on American soil, the United States has not been free from terrorism. On the contrary, this country has seen a series of such acts, ranging from bombings to targeted killings to arsons, as well as an even greater number of ultimately unsuccessful conspiracies and plots. These violent incidents have been carried out not by international terrorists but by adherents of homegrown or domestic extremist movements. Such movements have historically been the main sources of terrorism in the United States and remain so today.
While the United States must remain vigilant against the threat of international terrorism and devote significant resources to that problem, it must understand, too, that homegrown terrorism will always remain a substantial and consistent threat. Fortunately, many of the reforms and programs implemented after 9/11 to combat international terror threats have aided in the fight against domestic extremist criminal activity, as well.

Thursday, January 9, 2014
By Wednesday, the pleasantries from earlier in the week have faded.
"Don't come across here again," one linebacker barks at a receiver as he heads back toward the huddle.
"Throw me that slant I like," another receiver begs of his quarterback. "Look who they have on me. He can't stay with me."
The pads clack against each other a little harder. The coaches' voices pierce the cold air a little sharper. Neither side of either team wants to be outdone with nearly 100 professional scouts honed in on every snap. The intensity has risen with the competition in day three of the Medal of Honor Bowl practice.
"They're not thinking as much so they're able to play a little bit harder," American team head coach Ralph Friedgen said. "They look like they're having fun out there."
The American and National staffs have just five days to mesh their 46 players into a team before Saturday's all-star event. Players hit the ground running Monday and have lifted each other's play throughout the three practices. Friedgen and National head coach Chan Gailey both say the players' ability to come together so quickly has been impressive. But the two veteran offensive coaches have two different approaches toward implementing their offenses.
Gailey has taken a simpler approach. The idea is to have a firm grasp on the system and allow the players' an opportunity to focus more on displaying their abilities. Fewer checks, fewer intricacies, less to think about, just play.
"We don't want to do a lot of things that could create problems for them," Gailey said. "The number one objective here is to help these guys show what they have to these scouts and to these fans, not to showcase an offense, or defense or special team knowledge."
Friedgen's plan is slightly more complicated, and by design. Maybe not along the lines of Peyton Manning detail, but enough to allow scouts to see how players can take in the new information. Two different styles but both coaches say they're happy with the progress shown on day three.
"I've challenged them," Friedgen said. "I've put a lot in and that's probably on me if we don't perform well. But the NFL wants to see what they can absorb too and how smart they are. … If you run simple stuff, you're simple to defend and they're not going to be able to show their abilities either."
The direction for the final two practices is different too. The National team is done in pads. The next two days it'll prepare and polish without full contact. The American team practiced in shoulder pads and shorts Wednesday but has a live rehearsal scheduled for Thursday; a game-like simulation without coaches on the field.
Both squads have garnered plenty of attention from the scouts that line the sidelines of Wilson Field at The Citadel. Several scouts openly admit to being impressed with the game's talent in its inaugural year and the level of play they've seen so far. Each big hit or one-handed catch is another note in the scouts' books and a step closer to the players realizing their dream of professional football.
"I think they really want an opportunity and they're getting one here," Friedgen said. "That's what this is about. It's about them having an opportunity to showcase."

A Greeley man is being held in the Weld County Jail, accused of using his father's .357 Magnum to hold his parents at gunpoint, threatening to kill them.
Eric Martin, 34, is facing false imprisonment and menacing charges after police say he held his mother and father, Jane and Kent Martin, in their home with a loaded gun on Friday, according to an arrest affidavit.
A man called Greeley police that evening, saying he received a text message from his cousins, the Martins, who said their son was threatening to shoot them. Police arrived at the house in the 1500 block of 13th Avenue, where they were able to get the couple out.
Eric Martin was threatening to shoot himself and officers, according to the report. Negotiators ultimately convinced Martin to come out of the house unarmed, where he was taken into custody.
Martin was being held on Monday evening on a $75,000 bond.

Lisa Vanderpump's Pro Gleb Savchenko Used His Bare Chest to Lure Her into Rehearsals
"I actually took my shirt off on the very first rehearsal to be like, 'Okay girl, we gotta work it! If you want to be in this rehearsal, maybe I can drag you in by taking off my shirt,' " Savchenko tells PEOPLE of working with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star (and PEOPLE.com blogger). "And she was like, 'I like that! Okay, let's go.' "
With results like that the fresh-faced pro decided to stick with what was working – mostly.
"Every day I still do that," Savchenko says while attending the Los Angeles premiere of G.I. Joe: Retaliation. "I promise her but I actually don't take off my shirt, and as soon as she's in there I lock the door and say, 'You're going to stay here and we're going to concentrate on hard work.' "
Once he had Vanderpump under lock-and-key, Savchenko thought using laughter might soften the physical toll of the practices.
"She's got a great sense of humor, and everything that I tell her she makes a joke out of it," the Moscow native says. "We laugh all of the time, like probably the entire first week, and that's probably why we had very bad scores, because we laugh throughout the whole rehearsal."
Now looking up from the bottom three after just his first week and facing shorter practice times, Savchenko is switching gears a bit.
"I have to be very strict, but not too strict to push her too much," he says with a laugh. "I can be a bad cop ... but sometimes you have to be softer with her and she told me that she can do anything if I ask her nicely."

The Nobel Prize–winning author's brilliant trilogy of fictionalized memoirs—now available in one volume for the first time. J.M. Coetzee's latest novel, The Schooldays of Jesus, will soon be available from Viking.
Few writers have won as much critical acclaim and as many admirers in the literary world as J. M. Coetzee. Yet the celebrated author rarely spoke of himself until the 1997 arrival of Boyhood, a masterly and evocative tale of a young writer's beginnings. Continuing with the fiercely tender Youth and the innovative Summertime, Scenes from Provincial Life is a heartbreaking and often very funny portrait of the artist by one of the world's greatest writers.

Alternative history is a popular genre in American fiction and film. What if Lee had won at Gettysburg? What if Hitler got the Bomb before we did? What if the American Revolution had failed? These kinds of speculative, leading questions can also help us understand current events.
What if, during the height of the Cold War, President Eisenhower had been found to be a Communist? What if President Kennedy was a Stalinist? The answer to these questions is obvious: impeachment.
The United States fought a protracted decades-long ideological war against Communism. The entire population of the country was involved in this effort; the horrors, injustice, and brutality of Communism were commonly known as was the obvious superiority of our own democratic system in comparison to it.
Those few who publicly discuss the threat of Islam are often described as bigots or paranoids even after 9/11, Fort Hood, and thousands of successful and interdicted jihad attacks. The jihad forces fight a growing ideological war against the United States and the West but we do not respond in kind.
"Paranoid" is the word often used to describe such bell-ringers and critics but, as the saying goes, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you.
Ignorance about Islam is far more prevalent and the fact that it should be so even ten years on from 9/11 is a devastating indictment of our culture, political and religious leadership, education system, and our connection with what we hold dear and true.
In the third Lord of the Rings movie Gandalf asks the steward of Gondor, "As steward, you are charged with the defense of this city. Where are Gondor's armies?" We should ask the same question, where are the armies of the United States?
They fight two wars to prop up two Islamic states whose foundational legal code is Islam itself. The constitutions of Iraq (Article 2) and Afghanistan (Articles 1 and 2) affirm this. This means that the United States supports two Sharia law countries with the blood of our best and extraordinary amounts of national treasure even as our own economy falls.
There can be no more obviously antithetical system of laws than Islamic Sharia to that of our Constitution. American support of Sharia law is nothing short of tragic and self-destructive.
President Obama's announcement of support for the Ground Zero mosque should come as no surprise. His fawning speech last year in Cairo, his bowing to the Saudi King, and his comments regarding "Arab and Pakistani Americans" in his autohagiography "Audacity of Hope" (p.261), "that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." "Them" in the quote refers to Arab and Pakistani Americans (adherents of Islam). Obama's support of the Ground Zero mosque is in keeping with his previous statements and actions.
9/11 and Fort Hood, subsequent jihad attacks, ongoing jihad against Israel and other democracies is the context in which we live. The motivator for jihad is Islamic doctrine.
The mosque at Ground Zero has nothing whatever to do with religious tolerance or religious freedoms as the president suggested in his recent Ramadan White House remarks. The mosque at Ground Zero is the newest phase in an endless ideological war against the United States and non-Muslims everywhere.
Where do we go from here now that our Commander in Chief publicly supports an oppositional and hostile ideology whose purpose is our destruction?
Had Eisenhower or JFK publicly supported Communism during the Cold War the result would have been impeachment. We are now engaged in an ideological war more important than the Cold War, and we are not fighting.

The Greater Nashua Salvation Army is gearing up for its annual toy drive.
Families in need of help this season turned to the organization with a wish list of toys and clothing for their children, from infants to seniors in high school.
Organizers said their job isn't close to being done. They still have 250 children who haven't been "adopted," and they need help to put smiles on their faces.
"When the parents come in, they are so excited they actually cry when they see what people have purchased for them," said Maj. Norma Moore. "It's just amazing."
Bags containing toys on each child's wish list and clothing will be distributed in the days leading up to Christmas.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. - At this rate, Bob Shaffer is going to develop a flinch by association with water coolers.
The longtime Truckee football coach has had one dumped on his head each of the past four years - always around the same time in November.
The Wolverines doused him once again with a direct-hit pour Saturday night in Las Vegas, minutes before breaking into full celebration with hundreds of diehard fans.
In similar fashion to the last three years, Truckee soundly defeated Southern Nevada nemesis Moapa Valley, 34-10, to claim a fourth consecutive Division I-A state championship.
"Wow, huh?" said a smiling Shaffer after the celebration settled from a frenzy to an ecstatic buzz, still soaked from his shoulders down. "Very impressive, because this was probably the second-best Moapa team that we've faced, ever."
The Pirates, with 15 state championships under their belt, are never a pushover. They certainly weren't Saturday night.
The defending champs simply executed better, fueled by school pride as a large contingent of former players donning state rings and lettermans shouted from the sideline.
"That's huge for us," senior linebacker Graham Christian said of the alumni support. "We're all prided on tradition, so it's definitely a good feeling when they show up and are cheering us on."
Truckee needed all the support it could get early as Moapa Valley imposed its will through one quarter, also motivated by a large crowd filling most of the home stands of the Bishop Gorman stadium.
While the Pirates controlled the clock with two time-consuming drives to open the game, however, the Wolverines limited the damage to a field goal before flashing some of its big-play offense.
Through the first quarter and into the second, Moapa Valley ran 28 offensive plays to Truckee's three, yet only led 3-0.
By the time Truckee completed its fifth play from scrimmage, the Pirates trailed. By half, they trailed by even more, despite running 19 more plays than the Wolverines.
"We had missed opportunities on those early drives," said Moapa Valley head coach Brent Lewis, whose team entered the break down 14-3. "We go score those, and it's probably a different ballgame - force them to come from behind. But you got to hand it to them. You've got to play four quarters, and we probably played two and a half. That's kind of been the story of my life against these guys. They just seem to have my number."
The Pirates looked poised for a comeback after forcing Truckee into a punt to start the second half and then driving 49 yards for a touchdown, closing the gap to 14-10.
But the Wolverines responded with their own long touchdown drive, capped by a 1-yard keeper by senior quarterback Erik Holmer, who turned in the biggest game of his highlight-filled Truckee career. After Louden Smith's extra point, Truckee led 21-10.
"I thought that was the key drive of game. That really took the life out of us and took any kind of momentum we had," Lewis said.
The Wolverines were not through.
They added another impressive touchdown on a 30-yard strike from Holmer to Adam Morgan early in the fourth quarter, then scored a final touchdown of the night after Morgan picked off a pass by Moapa Valley quarterback Josh Repp.
"Sometimes it takes us a little bit to get in a groove, but once we're in a groove, it's hard to stop us," Morgan said.
Shaffer inserted his second string in the final minutes, about the time senior starters Tyler Griffin, Benito Gurrola and Nico Duner snuck up from behind and emptied the contents of the cooler on his head.
"I'm just speechless," said Holmer, before finding the words to explain his emotion. "Everything just came down to one moment, and I'm just so happy we could go out like this - 34-10 against such a good team. I'm just so proud of all of these guys and our coaching staff. We have a really close, tight-knit family on this football team. I'm so happy right now."
Holmer wasn't the only Wolverine to emphasize the family theme.
"We just believed in ourselves, and I believed in my teammates, and we got it done. We're a family, and that's what won it today," said senior defensive back Javier Virrey.
Added senior linebacker Julian Aguirre: "I feel like we all came together as a family and just got things done. We realized what we needed to do to get to this spot, and then finish what we started."
About the only thing that would have made the Wolverines' fourth straight title any sweeter, Aguirre said, would have been a perfect record. They entered the season on a 36-game winning streak, which ended at 41 when Truckee lost 7-0 to Fernley on Oct. 6.
"It would have been nicer with the streak intact, but either way it's still a part of history," Aguirre said. "A four-peat. That's unthinkable."
"It's something incredible," said senior tight end and defensive end Zak Pettit, who sacked Repp three times Saturday night for a total loss of 29 yards. "It's something monumental I think. Our senior year we ended with a bang. It's just really exciting."
Things didn't look good for Truckee from the start.
The Pirates, who had outscored their opponents 634-131 and were 12-1 entering Saturday's fifth consecutive state championship against the Wolverines, employed their bruising, multi-faceted running game early. It worked, as Moapa Valley drove 68 yards on the opening possession while eating nearly 10 minutes of clock.
But Truckee's defense stiffened, stopping the Pirates at the 7-yard line to force a field goal by Kris Postma.
Still, things did not look good for the visiting team after Truckee went three-and-out on its first possession and Moapa Valley again began to drive down the field behind the hard running of Jared Repp, Conner Mortensen, Sean McConnell and Kasen Hughes.
The Pirates drove from their own 30-yard line to the Truckee 23, aided by an unnecessary roughness penalty and a facemask, before turning the ball over on downs.
Then it was the Wolverines' turn. On second-and-13 from their own 20, Holmer found a wide-open Pettit on a deep route, and the big senior outran the Moapa Valley secondary 80 yards to the house.
Truckee's sideline erupted as the Wolverines reversed their negative momentum, taking over the lead at 7-3 with 7:42 left in the second quarter.
"Coach Shaffer is always making up schemes that work," Pettit said of the play. "Same thing all year, he's had some really good play-calling. Erik threw it to me and I ran, and that was about it. It was a great pass."
Besides leading his team with 52 rushing yards, Holmer completed 16 of his 25 attempts for 258 yards, with four touchdown passes and no interceptions.
"Erik definitely had a great game. I really saw him progress throughout the year," Pettit said. "He had that thumb injury early in the year, but then he finished so strong. He's one of my best friends, so I'm really happy for him."
After forcing the Pirates into a couple of punts, Truckee drove from its own 44 into the end zone again on eight plays. This time it was Griffin making a skilled catch just off of the turf in heavy traffic to complete the 7-yard score. Smith's extra point extended Truckee's lead to 14-3 with 14 seconds before half.
"In the first quarter they were driving on us, definitely. We made some mistakes and had some penalties, but we kind of bounced back and made good plays when we needed to. That definitely helped us," Holmer said.
The Pirates are a proud program, though, and they weren't about to go down without some resistance.
They forced Truckee into a punt to open the second half before mounting a timely scoring drive starting at the Truckee 49-yard line. Hughes wrestled free from a tackle and took the ball into the end zone on a hard run from 12 yards out, cutting the lead to four after Postma's extra point.
The Wolverines needed an answer. And they got it. They marched 69 yards on eight plays, using first-down completions to Pettit and Griffin and a 33-yard run by Holmer to set up a 1-yard quarterback sneak. Smith's extra point pushed the lead back to a relatively safe margin, at 21-10, with 2:05 remaining in the third quarter.
Truckee made sure the momentum stayed on its side for good after forcing a three-and-out and a shanked punt that sailed out of bounds at the Truckee 30-yard line.
On the next play, Holmer threw a perfectly placed ball over the shoulder of Morgan, who hauled it in over his defender as he crossed the goal line. A bad snap on the PAT left the score at 27-10 with 11:54 left in the game.
"I think we might have caught them off-guard just a little bit because when we went in at halftime, we said that we didn't want to come out and try not to lose this game. We want to be very aggressive and continue to put points on the board and win it that way," Shaffer said.
"I think they might have expected us to run the ball a little bit more. But it's so hard running the football against them, and they were so aggressive up front that we figured, if they're going to give us the pass we're going to take it."
Facing a 17-point deficit, the Pirates were forced to go away from their strength and air it out. After a nice kickoff return by McConnell to the Truckee 36, Repp completed a 13-yard pass to the senior running back to start their ensuing drive. Four plays later, however, Morgan camped under an overthrown pass and returned the interception 45 yards out to midfield.
Lewis conceded that the Wolverines took the Pirates out of their offensive game plan.
"Oh yeah, definitely. We're not built for comebacks; we're built for playing with a lead," Lewis said. "Truckee is not an easy team to come back on, either. I mean, their defensive schemes are just too tough."
Ten plays later, Holmer hooked up with senior Tyler Curtis on a short pass, and Curtis steamrolled his last man to beat, Landon Willard, at the goal line to record another Truckee touchdown. Smith's extra point brought the score to its final margin with 6:40 left.
"I'm feeling great," Curtis said after the game. "We did our job. We did what we wanted to do, which was to finish them. We just kept our heads up and kept driving."
Truckee's second string, led by running backs Austin Vance and Lance Bokinskie, almost scored another touchdown in the final minutes but turned the ball over on downs at the Moapa Valley 17.
Shortly after, Truckee fans and players stormed the field, holding four fingers in the air as they hugged and tackled each other in celebration.
"I can't really explain it. It's an awesome feeling to be a part of it, the four-peat," said Christian, who gutted out his final high school games with an injured shoulder. "I'm speechless right now."
Senior Matt Baumann, who recorded one of the Wolverines' five sacks in the game, took a moment to reflect on how he felt.
"People will look back on what we've done and say, 'I want to do that. I want to set our own history.' And hopefully it will help them strive to achieve what we achieved," he said.
The Wolverines' fourth straight title extends their total to 12 all time. Shaffer has won nine of those titles in his 18 years as head coach, which is tied with Joe Sellers and Herb Foster in NIAA history.
"It's awesome," Pettit said of the latest title. "It's something great. I love it."
Truckee also was awarded the academic state title at halftime for earning the highest collective GPA among Division I-A programs, at 3.38.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - Get ready, Lake Tahoe. Winter is coming back.
The first winter storm of 2012-13, albeit a little one, is forecast to hit the greater Truckee/Tahoe area early next week, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.
A winter storm watch will be in effect from Monday morning through the evening, NWS reports, bringing as much has a foot of snow above 7,000 feet and 6 inches at lake level. Winds will be 15 to 20 mph, with 35 mph gusts are expected.
"Accumulating snow may create hazardous travel conditions Monday and Monday night around the Lake Tahoe Basin and Sierra passes," according to the storm watch.
On Friday afternoon, the Truckee Police Department issued an advisory through its online reporting system, reminding motorists to be safe next week.
"Although not a major storm, this is the first significant weather system for the fall season," the department said. "Roadway conditions are likely to become slick. The Truckee Police Department wants to remind everyone that slower speeds, and greater following distances in wet and icy conditions will dramatically improve safety and the reduce risk of accident."

that will be awesome!!! i hope we'll get them here before the Summer hits
7. Synack (Posts: 677; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Now we wait to see if the carriers and Samsung have figured it out to have a WORLDWIDE launch in April as opposed to everywhere but USA in April and USA in freaking October.
20. nak1017 (Posts: 328; Member since: 08 Jan 2010)
That and the US versions will be horribly dumbed down and full of bloatware
28. torr310 (Posts: 839; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
It looks good.
Hope it won't have the reception/connection issues like the Galaxy Nexus does.

Also hope the battery can last all day long and be removable.

Sammy boy, I just got my Note barely two months ago, and you think you have what it takes to lure me into buying this!?
Dammit it, with a 1080p quad (and fingers crossed - smaller bezel), you'd have me... again!

If only it would keep those specs when it comes to U.S carriers..
1080p !! that would be amazing!!
Def looks like it will be the best phone of the year! again!

Ceramic? Interesting. I would like to see it.
8. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ceramic is very strong. they make armor out of the stuff. :) It will definitely be interesting compared to the plastics n tins of the phone world.
43. pbui.818 (Posts: 78; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
even armor has chinks.
the strength of a material is dependent on the type of load particularly the angle of incidence.
what are the compressive, tensile, torsional and shear strength values?
why is ceramic normally considered brittle?
what happens to a ceramic-backed phone when it is impacted along its edge?
14. d3ac0n (Posts: 1; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Probably just sprayed onto high quality plastic or aluminium. It's not gonna be ceramic per se.

I certainly hope so! If they skip the GS3 for "something better", I think I might have to jump ship. And if they get it, they better not dumb it down like they did the Fascinate!

Im with you there man. Not all of these Droid branded phones are what they are cut out to be. AT&T already got the htc one x exclusively... What a disappointment it would be if they got this too.
39. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Did not. They got.the "XL" which is the crap dragon version

if a beast of a phone like this comes out in april it's bye bye every other android phone maker...I mean 1080p screen I highly doubt that even PenTile 1080p is highly unlikely, but we will see, it's samsung we're talking about so everything is possible...
22. jove39 (Posts: 1858; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)

No Cortex A15 -> no buy. Wont gonna buy a quadcore with lame Cortex A9
30. Guest_star (Posts: 231; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
I would really like you to explain to me what is the difference between a-9 and a-15 because I see you have something against a-9. And explain it to me in professionally pls so you convince me that you know what you are talking about and not just bashing a-9 because you heard somewhere that a-15 is better than a-9
33. the_s2 (Posts: 239; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
Cortex a15 is 40% faster than the Cortex a9 at the same clock speed and number of cores. Manufactured on 32/28 nm process vs 45nm process for the a9. This will clear your doubts.http://www.youtube.com/watch?f
eature=player_embedded&v=_kgPl sczhZg
47. Guest_star (Posts: 231; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
I know the answer but it just seemed to me that he said it just because he heard it somewhere and doesn't know s**t about it that's why i asked HIM
btw tegra uses 2 cores when browsing so hat is not some comparison but it does show that a-15 is faster than a-9, generaly a-15 is better than a-9 because of number of things not just power
49. Guest_star (Posts: 231; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
just one more thing, no matter how good a-15 is, dual core a-15 just cant be better than quad a-9 in some aspects, like gaming, heavy multitasking, etc but i will wait till the Q3 when hopefully there will be a-15 quads to get new phone...

nice specs... I remember when the same were said about the Nexus... and is going to be outsold by the Note... please.. it will not be 1080p screen.. cut it out.. and yes it will have bezel.. carriers needed to put their brand... specially on a monster phone... so just wait for the official specs to come out... and please.. don't salivate over rumors..
41. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
yes!!!! a few more thumbs down and my comment will be hidden causing more people to read it..
46. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
apple fans salivated over ip5 rumours that turned out not to be true...let samsung fans do the same,agree 1080p as much i would like,not going to happen but i do think we will 720p amoled plus screen and thats all i want a long with either the 32nm dual/quad core..i think when rumours say bezelless,i think they mean the side bezels,there will always be bezel on the top and bottom for mic,camera etc
51. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
Ok ..only because you ask nicely...
27. metoyou (Posts: 279; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)

31. TreyTreyTaylor (Posts: 674; Member since: 21 Dec 2010)
I'm with you on the nexus. Love the hell out of it, but if Verizon gets this ON TIME this Galaxy Nexus has got to go. Quad core exynos? 1080p Super Amoled? You had me at Galaxy lol.
34. Forsaken77 (Posts: 553; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
Remember... don't buy it when it first comes out. There will be 1 or 2 better versions of it a month or 2 later.
36. GALAXY-S (Posts: 701; Member since: 07 Jun 2011)
well that wasnt true for the SGS2 soo it should not be for the 3
42. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
I hope not... I hate a lot of phones have a little brother with something slight better feature. Well, I guess the SGS2 on AT&T did have the skyrocket pretty shortly after.
37. BooneGibson (Posts: 5; Member since: 06 Jan 2012)
Hopefully Samsung will utilize the new Gorilla Glass 2 (thinner and stronger than the original Gorilla Glass) as well as nano-coating technology to make it waterproof too!!! If they do...game over!!!
40. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
Samsung has a joint venture with Corning, the company that makes it. It will definitely have good glass, whether it be the Gorilla glass 2 or something better and not named/sold to competitors.
44. snowgator (Posts: 3583; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Would like to see Samsung confirm some of this. If it is truly going to be released in April, then they should be pumping it up officially very soon. Samsung knows how to do high end smartphone better than anyone right now. These specs are monster, and any other manufacturer I wouldn't buy it. But, Sammy? I am ready to believe.
45. iami67 (Posts: 318; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
If only verizon will get it this time vzw always gets the crap version and late as heck. Im sure none of the phone from this showw ill be with vzw. Where still waiting for our first 3d phone lol.
48. pedobear (Posts: 22; Member since: 24 Feb 2012)
I really like the specs of the phone and it sounds great! I really hope they keep the looks of touchwiz similar to stock ics and only add what truly will add to the experience, not put random stuff that has no worth and makes in more confusing *cough* Sense *cough*
50. Wildmanfan (Posts: 238; Member since: 15 Jul 2010)
Please Verizon, don't screw this one up. You already did a horrible job acquiring the Galaxy Note. Please don't screw this up.

What a great friend! My son has just fallen in love with a little puppy I bought him at Walgreens for about $2 or something - he calls him 'new puppy' and wakes up from naps crying for him. :)ReplyDelete

Wow! What a great rescue by such a great friend! I'm glad she was able to get it for him :)ReplyDelete
Gotta love that Baby Hawk! Gives you the freedom to jump right in!ReplyDelete

Ben Affleck, Kathryn Bigelow Biggest Oscar Snubs?
But here's who did – and who should have:
Best DirectorThe shock: Two huge snubs! Not only did Argo's Affleck get dissed, even though he had one of the best-reviewed films of the year, but so did Zero Dark Thirty's Kathryn Bigelow, a previous Best Director winner for The Hurt Locker – which I'd argue isn't nearly the accomplishment that Zero Dark Thirty is. Both of the films about terror made the cut for Best Picture, however. But then, that was expected.
What that means: While it's likely a race between Hollywood machers Steven Spielberg (Lincoln) and Ang Lee, whose Life of Pi stormed through with 11 nominations, it's great to see newcomer Benh Zeitlin on the list, whose $1.8 million Beasts of the Southern Wild picked up four nominations. Though their films made strong showings, Amour's Michael Haneke and Silver Linings Playbook's David O. Russell have far less buzz than the buzzed-out Affleck.
Best ActressThe shock: Three former Oscar winners – including two who picked up their golden guys in this very category – couldn't muscle their way in this year. Marion Cotillard, the emotional heart of the gritty romance Rust and Bone, and Helen Mirren, who was the best thing about Hitchcock, playing the great director's wife, Alma, won't be repeating as Best Actress next month. Rachel Weisz, 2006 Best Supporting Actress winner for The Constant Gardener, also didn't get quite enough momentum for her role as a lovelorn judge's wife in the murky period drama The Deep Blue Sea.
What that means: It's likely a three-way battle between the beloved French cinema vet Emmanuelle Riva (Amour), who would be the oldest Best Actress winner at 86 (Oscar Sunday is her birthday), Jessica Chastain, who gave a riveting performance in Zero Dark Thirty, and my personal favorite, Jennifer Lawrence, who showed incredible range and humor in Silver Linings Playbook. Still, Naomi Watts (The Impossible) and the Academy's youngest-ever nominee for Best Actress, 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts), could still take it in a squeaker.
Best ActorThe shock: It may not qualify as a "shock" that John Hawkes, truly wonderful in The Sessions, and Jack Black, who did his best work last year in Bernie, didn't get nods. But this was easily the year's toughest category, with brilliant performances from a dozen actors who could have filled the slots.
What that means: I'm still sticking with my prediction that Daniel Day-Lewis will stroll home victorious for his role in Lincoln, which, including his, picked up 12 nominations this morning, the most of any film. If anyone can challenge him, though, it's Hugh Jackman. Les Misérables may have divided critics, but Jackman gives such a well-rounded performance as Jean Valjean, and he's such an inherently likable guy, Academy voters could decide to share the love – particularly since Day-Lewis already has Best Actor bookends. Bradley Cooper impressed in Silver Linings, but given that it's such a tough year for the fellas, I'm betting that he, Denzel Washington (Flight) and Joaquin Phoenix (The Master) will be applauding politely from their seats.
Best Supporting Actor/ActressThe shock: There are no jaw-droppers in either category, though it would've been nice to see Javier Bardem nominated for his deliciously sinister blond baddie in Skyfall.
What that means: Anne Hathaway can stop dreaming her dreams, as she'll likely wake up the morning after the Oscars a winner for Les Mis, while five veteran actors fight it out for Best Supporting Actor. Sentimental love may go toward Alan Arkin, so cuttingly funny as a producer helping in Argo, but truly, it's anyone's game when you've got Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln), Christoph Waltz (Django), Robert De Niro (Silver Linings) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master) playing to win again.
Best PictureThe shock: None really. If it still blows your mind that there are nine nominees, then take it as a reflection that last year was such a great one for movies. But yes, in a perfect world Moonrise Kingdom, Skyfall and even The Avengers would have found a place on the red carpet.
What that means: If we go by the numbers, then this looks like a showdown between Lincoln (12 nominations) and Life of Pi (11 nominations). But I don't think it's that simple. Life of Pi's nods are largely technical, with no acting notices in the bunch. Silver Linings, though, is a far stronger contender than Pi, with four acting nominations, plus its director and editor (an often overlooked harbinger of Oscar gold) also picked up nods.
And don't count out Les Mis or even Amour, which has real momentum behind it. I would hope that the director snubs haven't knocked Argo and Zero Dark Thirty out of their frontrunner spots, either, but that certainly doesn't bode well for either of them. Like I said, it may seem strange to feel sorry for Affleck on a day his movie gets a Best Picture Oscar nomination, but I do.
We'll all find out the results when the Academy Awards air live Sunday, Feb. 24, on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
