Some Taxpayers in High-Tax States Would Be Hit Harder if Federal Breaks Are Curbed by 'Fiscal Cliff' Negotiations
Limiting personal income-tax deductions and other federal tax breaks, an idea gaining momentum as part of a fix for America's budget crisis, would hit some parts of the country harder than others, with a series of high-income blue states leading the way.
California taxpayers took the highest itemized deductions on average compared with the 49 other states and District of Columbia, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of 2010 Internal Revenue Service data. That means the 36% of California filers who itemized have the most to lose. They averaged $33,901 in deductions, in part because they claimed the U.S.'s highest average mortgage break, $15,755.
After California, the highest average itemized deductions—all over $28,000—were claimed by taxpayers in New York, the District of Columbia, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland and Massachusetts. All have high state, local and property taxes, which may be deducted from income on federal returns, although other tax provisions already limit some deductions.
The national average deduction in 2010 for those who itemize was $26,112.
The idea of limiting deductions has gained currency, especially among Republicans, as a way to raise government revenue without raising tax rates. Curbing their value would make more income subject to taxation.
The approach could become part of a deficit-reduction deal between the White House and Congress to avert the "fiscal cliff," the combination of tax increases and spending cuts set to begin at the start of January. It also could figure in plans to overhaul the tax code next year.
If that happens, taxpayers in relatively affluent states with higher home prices and state and local taxes could see their tax bill rise significantly, depending how the limits are designed. That in turn is likely to affect how the concept is greeted by lawmakers.
"When you look at real-estate values, at state and local taxes, when you deal with the major deductions, people in a state like Maryland would have more to lose" from limiting breaks, said Sen. Ben Cardin (D., Md.), who nonetheless didn't close the door to such limits.
More Maryland taxpayers—49%—take itemized deductions than those in any other state, followed by Connecticut, New Jersey and Virginia, which all top 40%. Nationally, one-third of taxpayers itemize. The rest take the standard deduction of about $12,000 for married couples and $6,000 for singles.
At the other end of the scale, just 19% of West Virginia taxpayers itemize. Indiana had the lowest 2010 average for those who itemized deductions, at $20,111.
Chris Robinson, a 43-year-old real-estate investor in Yorba Linda, Calif., took more than $110,000 in itemized deductions in 2011, and would likely see his taxes rise by several thousand dollars under a deduction cap. "I don't think it's fair," he said of the idea. "I think the wealthy are definitely paying their fair share."
Chris Lane of Centreville, Va., estimates he has taken around $30,000 in itemized deductions annually in recent years, including about $24,000 a year for mortgage interest.
Mr. Lane, 42, a project manager for a commercial air-conditioning company, opposes scaling back the mortgage deduction, because it would hurt "a segment of the population that wants to put down roots and own homes."
The precise effects would depend on the details. President Barack Obama has proposed in his budget curbing the value of itemized deductions and other breaks for singles making more than $200,000 a year and couples making more than $250,000. He would limit their tax savings to no more than 28% of the deduction; currently, deductions are worth up to 35% for high-income households. That means a deduction of $1 million currently is worth $350,000 in tax savings to someone in the top 35% tax bracket, though such breaks face certain limits. Under Mr. Obama's proposal, the same taxpayer would save $280,000.
Mr. Obama says the top 2% of earners nationally would be affected. States with the greatest concentrations of high-income households would feel the impact the most.
In New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, around 5% of households made more than $200,000 in 2010, according to IRS statistics.
Mr. Obama's proposal would increase the tax bill of a typical household making between $200,000 and $1 million by about $4,000 to $5,000, according to experts, and generate about $584 billion over a decade, according to his budget.
On the Republican side, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said he is open to raising revenue by "closing special-interest loopholes and deductions," but didn't offer a specific proposal. During the campaign, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney floated the idea of a dollar cap on the total deductions a household could claim. He didn't offer a formal proposal, but suggested options ranging from $17,000 to $50,000.
Third Way, a centrist Democratic advocacy group, has proposed capping itemized deductions, with the exception of charitable giving, at $35,000. For earners making $200,000 to $1 million, the cap would add $5,000 to $14,000 to tax bills.

LISBON - The newly-restructured Columbiana County Chambers of Commerce gathered last week for its second monthly meeting of the year. The organization, which consists of representatives from individual chambers across the county, has met regularly in the past, but is taking a new approach this year.
Last month, for the first time in its existence, the board elected four members to serve two-year terms as officers. Randy Allmon, president of the Wellsville Area Chamber, will serve as executive director, Audrey Null (Salem Chamber) will serve as vice-chairwoman, Marilyn McCullough (Lisbon Chamber) was elected secretary, while April Brinker (Columbiana Chamber) will be treasurer.
Allmon hopes the election of officers goes a long way toward making the chamber meetings more organized and efficient.
"In the past when we've met, it was always more of a social gathering without much of a pre-set agenda," Allmon said. "This year we are taking greater steps to coordinate various activities with each other to more effectively promote business across the county."
Among the things planned by the board will be a special Business of the Month award to be handed out by a different area chamber each month. At the end of the year, the County Chambers will select a Business of the Year and hold a dinner honoring the occasion.
"We hope there will be more opportunity for our members to reach out and bounce ideas off each other," Allmon said. " It's important to remember that our area chambers are not competitors. We have a shared interest in seeing this county grow economically."
The top item for the Chambers right now is planning the fourth annual Columbiana County Economic Summit. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 6 at the Salem Community Center. Admission is $50 with attendance capped at 100 people. Lunch will be served.
The focus this year will be growing the economic competitiveness of Northeast Ohio. The program currently includes a one-hour workshop put on by Team NEO - an organization which seeks to attract business to Northeast Ohio- as well as an appearance by Dave Nestic, chief executive of regional operations for the Tech Belt Energy Innovation Center in Warren.
The Chambers of Commerce is looking to add more guests, but cannot comment on any possibilities.
Businesses wishing to sponsor the event can contact their local Chamber of Commerce. The price is $100.

DNR Research: Where Have all the Moose Gone?
By: Travis Dill
In a few weeks researchers will strap new GPS technology onto moose in the Northland. Minnesota DNR officials announced the $1.2 million study in St. Paul on Friday.
Ericka Butler, a DNR Wildlife Veterinarian, said she doesn't know what's causing moose populations to decline. But she thinks an unknown health issue is the problem because these moose should be in their prime.
"These are the age of the moose that they should be the healthiest and the fattest and happiest and, you know, we are actually finding them dead at that time," Butler said.
According to DNR aerial surveys, 4200 moose call northeastern Minnesota home, but researchers said that is less than half of what the population was in 2006.
The deaths are a mystery because it is hard to find moose remains before they decompose. That is where the new technology comes in.
Lou Cornicelli is a leader of the project. He said special collars that contain GPS units will help researchers find a dead moose quickly.
"It actually sends a text message to the researchers to tell us that 'Hey, I'm likely dead,' so I guess it's the opposite of a life-alert," Cornicelli said.
Researchers will fly over northeastern Minnesota and tranquilize 100 moose later this month. The high-tech collars are fitted on each moose and give updates on its condition every six hours. The quick response means testing results could solve the mysterious deaths.
"So our whole goal is to get into these mortalities within 24 hours of death. That way we can collect things like brains, liver, lungs, pituitary glands, adrenal glands all sorts of organs that you can think of for us to determine why they are dying," Butler said.
If that data doesn't help solve the mystery researchers said moose will likely disappear from the Northland.
Another 50 collars will be attached to calves in the spring. Those moose will be just a few days old so researchers can't tranquilize them. Instead the researchers will have to get out there and tackle them.
The DNR is spending $600,000 for the study, while the rest is coming from other sponsors like the Fond Du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and the state's Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund.

"I am really proud of them," Beaver Local head coach Maria Parfitt said about her team's performance at the conference meet. "I am really pleased with how they performed. They are not tapered, and they swam right with them."
Only four schools competed in the small school division.
Linsly won the division with 394 points. Also, Catholic Central placed second with 46 points, Wheeling Central ended up third with 39 points and Barnesville finished fourth with 37 points.

On the boys' side, the Wildcats placed in the top 16 in three individual events. Two swimmers combined to place in the three events.
One of the swimmers - Armando Sinicropi - finished in the top 16 in two events. Sinicropi placed eighth in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:15.37, and he finished 16th in the 200 IM with a time of 2:49.63.
Also for the Wildcats, Dylon Filbert finished 14th in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:19.55.
None of Edison's relay teams finished in the top 16.
On the other side of things, the Wildcats put forth a strong showing on the girls' side.
The Edison girls ended up having four girls finish in the top 16 in individual events. Three of the four - Kylie Smith, Victoria Freeland and Shelbi Marquis - finished in the top 16 in two events.
First of all, Smith finished sixth in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:17.63, and she finished 14th in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:19.15.
Next, Freeland finished 12th in the 200 IM with a time of 2:45.7, and teammate Katie Davidson finished 16th with a time of 2:51.6.
Finally, Marquis finished 13th in the backstroke with a time of 1:15.1, and she finished 14th in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:19.15, and she finished 14th in the 50 freestyle with a time of 29.13.
The Wildcats also finished in the top 16 in two relay races.
First, the 200 medley relay team of Freeland, Smith, Marquis and Andrea Artman placed eight with a time of 2:09.34. Also, the 200 freestyle relay team of Freeland, Smith, Marquis and Artman finished 10th with a time of 1:59.06.
The Wildcats face a still challenge in their next meet. Edison's next match is Tuesday night at home against Linsly at the Stratton City Pool.
The next meet for East Liverpool and Beaver Local is the Beaver Local Small School Invitational Saturday at the Calcutta YMCA.

Well, we can say that the folks from Redmond definitely have a morbid sense of humor. In celebration of the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft held a mock funeral for two of the stars of the smartphone community: the Apple iPhone and RIM's BlackBerry.
According to Neowin, there were hearses for both the iPhone and the BlackBerry along with Microsoft employees dressed up in Windows Phone 7 garb. Microsoft even went so far as to have employees performing the infamous "Thriller Dance" to celebrate the hope that Windows Phone 7 will bury the competition.
Interestingly enough, while Microsoft definitely had Apple and RIM in its crosshairs today, "dead" Google was nowhere to be found. There were no hearses for the Android OS, so either Microsoft just overlooked this "minor" detail, or it doesn't think that it has the muscle to bury Android so quickly.
Windows Phone 7 is reportedly set to launch on October 11.

Alden finished first in The News small school poll for the third straight year. This season, the Bulldogs advanced to the program's first state semifinal.
On Saturday, it finished on top again – while setting another new standard for the program.
Hard-charging, hard-hitting, hard-to-take-down senior Corey Barczykowski became the first player from Alden to win the Connolly Cup. After the introduction of the 10 finalists in a ceremony at Ilio DiPaolo's Restaurant, Connolly Cup Committee Chairman Dennis Sarow announced the name of the 6-foot-1, 190-pound running back and defensive back.
He is the 41st winner of the award, which is presented by the Riverside Athletic Club and awarded to Western New York's most outstanding high school football player.
"I feel so honored to be up with some of these great names that have won this trophy," said Barczykowski. "It means a lot to me, it means a lot to my family. I was really nervous, really hoping I'd win it. I had my fingers crossed: all night, all day. It's been on my mind nonstop.
"It really is a great accomplishment not only for me, but my coaches, my team, my fans, and I really appreciate it."
Barczykowski ran for an Alden record of 2,255 yards this season. He had 28 touchdowns that helped him set a school record for points (170).
He did so with ferocious, downhill running that often resulted in him delivering the same kind of hits to potential tacklers that he very often delivered on defense (52 tackles).
"It's real simple," said Dick Diminuco, who announced last week that he has retired as Alden's head coach. "He's just a competitor. He competes all the time in everything he does. He competes hard. I've used the word 'warrior' … and that's what he is."
Barczykowski had outstanding performances all season, particularly in the postseason. After running 29 times for 252 yards and three touchdowns against No. 2 small school Depew during the Class B East regular season, he went for 170 yards and two scores on 27 carries in the teams' Class B semifinal meeting. He had 274 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries against East Rochester-Gananda in the Far West Regionals to help Alden earn its first trip to the state final four. In the Bulldogs' semifinal loss to eventual state champion Maine-Endwell, he showed his defensive tenacity with 15 tackles.
"I just try and go in week in and week out and try to get the victory," said Barczykowski. "It's not about me, it's about the team, and I try to sacrifice my own body just to get that win.
"My number one thank-you is my family. My family pushes me through everything. They try to get me to be my best. The whole football team pushed me this whole year to be my best and I tried to do the same for them."
The other finalists for the award were: Lockport senior running back/linebacker James Chambers, South Park junior quarterback/linebacker Maurice Howie, Akron senior quarterback/defensive back Austin Mietz, St. Joe's senior running back/defensive back Ilo Noble, Canisius junior running back/defensive back Qadree Ollison, West Seneca East senior quarterback/defensive back/kicker Andy Smigiera, Sweet Home senior quarterback Mike Torrillo, St. Mary's junior running back Nick Vallone and Orchard Park senior running back Mitch Wilson.
Ollison and Canisius teammate Ryan Hunter, a senior lineman, were both honored Saturday as The Buffalo News Player of the Year.
It is the first time that The News' Player of the Year and the Connolly Cup winner have gone to different players since 2009. That year, a pair of two-time state champions were honored: Sweet Home senior quarterback Patrick McMahon (News) and Southwestern senior quarterback Zack Sopak (Connolly Cup).
The banquet's guest speaker was 2002 Connolly Cup winner Jehuu Caulcrick, the former star at Clymer and Michigan State who went on to play in the National Football League.

CHARLES TOWN - Not a Pittsburgh Pirates fan?
Well, neither is Joey Stoshack - at least, not until he meets arguably the best shortstop of all time, Honus Wagner, in Steven Dietz's play, "Honus and Me."
"Honus and Me" is a play about a 10-year-old Joey, who loves baseball, but isn't a very good player. While helping a neighbor clean out her attic, Joey finds the rarest baseball card of all time - Honus Wagner. After finding the card, he "meets" Wagner, who then helps Joey become a better ball player by giving him sage advice about how to play the game, as well as life itself.

Journal photos by Ron Agnir
Mr. Stoshack (Homer Speaker), left, talks with his son Joey Stoshack (Zachary Little) after a modern-day baseball game between the Ravens and Bluebirds.
Honus and Me tells the story of young Joey Stoshack (Zachary Little), who finds himself face to face with baseball legend Honus Wagner after finding Wagner's coveted 1909 baseball card, the most valuable baseball card of all time, while cleaning his neighbor's attic. Together they travel back in time — into the seventh game of the World Series — where Honus helps Joey boost his self-esteem and gain a new sense of confidence to face life head-on.
Journal photo by Ron Agnir
From left, Detroit's Ty Cobb (Jeff Marcum) and Pittsburgh's Honus Wagner (Robert Allen) get into a spirited conversation during the World Series.
"(Joey is) not the best player, and when he's under pressure it's even worse," said Robert Allen (Honus Wagner), "but I help him with his confidence in baseball and in life by passing on my wisdom. (The play's) about the kid more than it is baseball. Obviously baseball fans will enjoy it, but its a coming-of-age story and its about (Joey) and his journey. He learns life lessons under unusual circumstances and everyone can relate to him."
Joey's not the only one doing some growing. His parents, who are divorced, are typical parents - working hard and wanting to support their son - but they too grow as individuals throughout the show.
"This is a story about a boy who finds himself, and his parents get to see that," said Jennifer George, who plays the role of Joey's mom. "It will remind (audience members) of being a kid again. It's funny, but it'll probably bring a tear to your eye too."
Zachary Little, a 15-year-old sophomore at Washington High School, plays the role of Joey.
"(Joey) doesn't have very many friends, so Honus is sort of his imaginary friend and mentor," Zachary said. "When Honus takes him back to the 1909 World Series, Joey tries to imitate how he performed, so he becomes a better player and believes in himself. There are a lot of surprises and (the play) is very heart-warming."
Martha Louden (Joey's elderly neighbor) said that in this play, Joey doesn't get what he wants, he gets what he needs.
"The story is really sweet," she said. "It's got the family element and you can be a non-baseball fan and enjoy the show and follow it just fine. It's how Joey grows throughout the show that is important. There are elements about the show that are comic and cute."
And just what would a good story be without a villain? Jack Brennan (Birdie) is the local sports expert and memorabilia shop owner who realizes the monetary worth of Joey's card and will stop at nothing to have it for himself.
History buffs will also enjoy the historical element of the show. There's been a lot of changes in baseball - and in the world - since the early 1900s. During the show, Wagner is confused by metal bats, hard balls and padded gloves, but one thing that hasn't changed much in the last century is people and their need for personal growth.
"I think its a really strong story and would be great for kids," Zachary said.
"A lot of theater isn't designed for both children and adults, but we've been lucky enough to have a couple this year," said Steven Brewer, managing and artistic director of the Old Opera House. "'Honus and Me' is about one young boy's struggle to make decisions, and hopefully the right ones. We all come up against moments in our lives when we must make difficult choices and Joey looks to Honus Wagner, one of his heroes, for guidance. As Honus explains late in the first act, 'sometimes there's the easy thing to do - and the right thing. And nobody can tell which is which. It is up to you.' (The show) is also about not giving up, and facing all of life's challenges head-on."

New faces and familiar ones mark the latest sire summary.
by Patti Hurtgen, Hoard's Dairyman Online Media Manager
Sire summaries occur three times each year. Sometimes it seems the top bulls rarely change; yet at other times it appears like a totally new deck has been dealt.
The August 2013 sire summaries were released last week. Hoard's Dairyman prepares our "Bull List" featuring all seven breeds, ranked by Net Merit or the individual breed's primary marketing formula. We've summarized whats new and what's changed in the past four months, and since last year. To be listed on the individual trait lists, bulls must be in the top 40 percent of their breed for Net Merit to be considered. Semen status may impact a bull's ability to appear on these lists.
Two bulls debuting on the top Net Merit list took the top two spots, Erdman and Robust. Joining them in the top five are three returners: Freddie, Awesome and Twist who were 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively in April. Six of top 10 Holstein bulls in August 2013 were also on the top 10 list in April. The top ranking bull in April, Observer, slid to 25th after losing 160 NM$. His reliability went up a mere 2 percent.
When looking at last August's top bull lists, three bulls have reshuffled. Freddie claimed the top spot, followed by Massay and Awesome. Today, they rank 3rd, 6th and 4th, respectively. The bulls that previously ranked fourth and fifth last year no longer appear on the list.
When looking at the bulls ranked for Net Merit by genomics only, two new names have emerged, Halogen at +926 NM$ and Supersire at +915 NM$. Both bulls have reliabilities for genomics at 68 percent. Supersire was first on the list both in April and last year. He has hovered near the top despite dropping from +980NM$ (August 2012) to a current +912 NM$.
New sires rose to the top of the Productive Life list. Erdman, Danger and Dom *BY all have PL values all over 7.0, which means their daughters will last seven months longer than average. The leading August 2013 values are down from April, the top spot boasted 7.7 PL. Jeeves and Awesome both were in the top five in 2012 and in April.
For all the reports that Hoard's Dairyman summarizes for Holstein production traits, the value for the top ranked bulls declined with the exception of Cheese Merit for genomic-only bulls.
With individual traits, Gulf *BY jumped from third to first this run with a +3.42 UDC to be the breed's udder leader. Five bulls in the top 10 in August 2013, were also there in April. Dorcy *BY and Avalon, were also nestled in over a year ago. The top udder bull, Mincio, from Inseme in Italy, from April is no longer listed.
Caliber is the top feet and legs sire at +3.48. The top five bulls in this sire summary were also in the top 10 in April. Machine, April's top feet and legs bull is now ranked ninth. An interesting note is that the feet and leg values have actually increased for the leader by half a point since April.
Montney is a milk quality improver as his +2.42 SCC indicates. Numbers below +3.00 indicate a lower somatic cell score. Flax closely follows after topping the list in April. Torlan is the only bull to appear in the top five this run, April 2013 and August 2012.
Magnum is still the top Net Merit Dollars sire, a repeat of April 2013, despite a 41 point loss. Following him are Lure, Zuma, Zipper and SF. When looking at proven bull values as compared to genomic-only values for NM$, the top proven bulls dropped, while the genomic-only sires stayed constant. Pilgrim is the new top NM$ genomic-only sire at +$641. April's leader, Soprano settles at number five in August.
Magnum holds the honor of highest JPI sire as well, despite his 18 point drop since April. Plus settles in the reserve spot. Zipper, Vernon and Lure complete the top five. The top four spots in August were also in the top five in April. Vernon was the top bull in 2012. However, his JPI has changed from 260 in August 2012, to 235 in April 2013 and now at 214, ranks fourth.
Brown Swiss
Moving up from the No. 2 spot, Versace heads the PPR List as Driver drops off. All five of the top bulls in August 2013 were in the top seven in April. Etlar, Payssli and Torch were all in the top five spots a year ago. When looking back, 258 PPR would get you top billing in April, now 194 PPR is what it takes. The top bulls remain, just some slight rearrangement.
Red and White
There is a new Red and White leader, Lowlands Redman-Red at +503 NM$. He is a full 50 NM$ over April's top value. To be the top bull in April, it only took +453 NM$. The top bull in April, Apple-Red, is now ranked 4th at +416 NM$. Half of the top 10 Red and White bulls are new. Besides Redman at the top, Aaron (No. 3), Carson (No. 5), Logan (No. 6) and Spencer (No. 10) are the new faces on the list. The five that held their spots since April include Tycoon-Red, Apple-Red, Reality-Red, Arnold-Red and Fidelity-Red. Three top 10 current bulls also had that spot last year.
For Red Carrier bulls, there is also a new leader, Fasna Asterix with $474 NM$. Astrix and the next three bulls all have 97WW stud codes and are marketed by CRV. The next five bulls were all in the top six from April.
Alstar and Grumpy kept their top two spots. Alstar took a nice +37 NM$ jump to +485 NM$, as did Grumpy with his +29 point boost. Mint debuted on the list in the seventh spot.
Kansas again remains at the top. All the top bulls slid in net merit values. New sires debut at number 2 with Decaf at +602NM$ and Marlow in fifth. Kansas was second last August and Power now ranks eighth.
Milking Shorthorn
Genetics Australia Cooperative Society Limited markets the top two bulls on the Milking Shorthorn list, Bon Jovi and Bob-P, a full 200 NM$ ahead of long-time net merit leader, Treble which now holds the third spot. Cowboy and Ace follow, both repeat ranking sires.
In summary, it appears about one-half of the top bulls have remained among the ranks after one sire summary. A smaller portion has lasted a full year in the genetic hierarchy.
While genomics is a tool to assist producers in choosing sires to improve their herd, it is not a guarantee of future performance. To date, there is no perfect system to ensure that the top bulls today will be there next sire summary, next year and beyond.
I look forward to seeing how the genomically ranked bulls fare on these lists when they add their milking daughters to their genomic data. Will the new data be higher, lower or about the same as their early predictors?
In the meantime, we can use all the tools scientific, actual daughter data and personal gut instincts to breed the cows that will support our industry into the future.

Womens Golf Inks Three Indiana Standouts to NLIs
MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State women's golf program signed three Indiana high school seniors to national letters of intent during the early signing period.
Morgan Nadaline (Anderson, Ind./Anderson H.S.), Mary Ellen Romero (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern H.S.) and Kayla Adamson (Marion, Ind./Marion H.S.) each signed to join the Cardinals in head coach Katherine Mowat's recruiting class of 2014.
Nadaline was a three-time all-state selection, a four-time all-conference pick and a four-time Anderson Herald-Bulletin Player of the Year for Anderson High School. She finished in the top 10 each of her final three seasons at the IHSAA State Championships, including a fourth-place result this fall.
A three-time Indiana Junior Golf Player of the Year, Nadaline won the Girls State Junior Championship in 2012. That same year, she finished runner-up at the Women's Western Junior, defeating four eventual NCAA Division I golfers to reach the match play finals. Nadaline also qualified as Indiana's representative for the PGA Junior Championship in 2011 and 2013.
"Morgan experienced a great deal of success in her junior golf career," Mowat said. "From being runner-up in the Women's Western Junior, to winning the state tournament, to qualifying twice for the Junior PGA, she has proven she can compete against the best golfers in the country. In any given tournament, Morgan is a competitor to watch out for, and we anticipate this to be the case throughout her college career."
Romero, an all-state golfer, finished runner-up by one shot at the IHSAA State Championships this fall. She was a three-time all-conference and four-time all-county selection who set a state record with a score of 5-under par (31) in a 9-hole match. A sectional medalist as a freshman, she twice carded a career-low round of 68.
Romero won Indiana's 2013 Mountain Dew Tour Championship and placed 14th at the Pinehurst Teen World Championship. She has also been a part of team success as a member of Hamilton Southeastern's state championship squads in 2010 and 2011.
"Mary Ellen has been part of two state championship high school golf teams," Mowat said. "She overcame a shoulder surgery last fall and, among other great finishes, she placed second in the IHSAA state tournament last month. Her comeback is a reflection of her determination, commitment and competitive drive. Those are qualities that will carry her through her college golf career."
Adamson led her Marion High School team to four sectional championships, finishing as the individual medalist all four times. She tied for 13th at the 2012 IHSAA State Championships.
A two-time points champion on Indiana's Mountain Dew Tour, Adamson was the tour's player of the year in 2012. She won the Northern Junior Masters and the Indiana Golf Association Age Group Championship in 2012. In 2013, she won the Indiana Junior Golf Masters Girls and finished runner-up at the Indiana Section Junior PGA Championship."Kayla is a very consistent golfer who has excelled in the Indiana Junior Golf program for several years," Mowat said. "In high school, Kayla was her team's captain and leader for four years. She was a valuable leader because of her passion for the game and her positive attitude. She possesses all the tools in her physical and mental game to play golf at the NCAA Division I level, and her best golf is yet to come."

Underrated college, basically a continuation of everyone's high school/boarding school who attends here. Beautiful people, beautiful campus. It might have a bunch of rich kids who come from money, but know where they come from, they appreciate it and will be even more successful after they graduate. Because this school is basically full of kids who, yeah could have had a 3.6-4.0 throughout high school, could have joined all those clubs, but didn't, because they lived in highschoool, made memories and might have been underachievers but will make up for it in the long run. Hobart is a place for people who know the meaning of living and don't waste there time pretending there something they aren't; or the people everyone wants them to be.

The pushing, shoving and knocking people to the ground on Black Friday make me realize how many immature adults there are.
Most of these so-called adults who stand in line all night to save a couple lousy dollars would never, ever consider being out in all types of weather if they had to work in it.
Furthermore, any store that can give a discount on an item and still make a profit on Black Friday can do it at that price all year-round.
It is sort of like when they say, "Buy One, Get One Free." Watch the prices, and you will see how they are raised on the first item to compensate for the so-called free item.
Why do the stores do this? Because they know we are all suckers, and we have little common sense when we think we are getting a deal.
If we were to multiply the hours standing in line, either to get into the store or at the checkout, by minimum wage you would see that we lost money.
My time is more valuable than waiting all night to save $10.
Move April Fool's Day to Black Friday and rename it Turkey Fool's Day.
One final thought: Has anyone stopped to ask themselves: Is opening the stores on Thanksgiving what Thanksgiving is all about?
Gobble, gobble!

It is a reflection to which I have often returned. At various times in my life, I have used it as bookmark, it has been on a wall in my home, I have sent it to friends and family as they have struggled with life's various difficulties and challenges. I do not know when I first encountered it, but I have turned to it again and again as a reminder that God's vision for our lives and for all that is, far surpasses our own ability to see, and oftentimes to understand.
In recent days, I unexpectedly encountered it again, and through it I heard God's voice speaking reminders of comfort, strength and hope to me. Penned by an unknown author, perhaps it will do the same for you.
My life is but a weaving,
Between my God and me;
I do not choose the colors,
He worketh steadily.
Oftimes He weaveth sorrow,
And I in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the underside.
Not till the loom is silent,
And shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the skillful Weaver's hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern God has planned.
As you contemplate the weavings of your life, may God grant you grace sufficient to trust in the One who intertwines the threads together.
Many Blessings –

"WHen I was a kid we used to walk through 4 feet of snow with no shoes on...and we liked it!"
Oh yeah? We used to walk through 5 feet of snow up hill in both directions with both our feet in our pockets because we couldn't afford shoes and needed plastic surgery to remove the smiles from our faces!

"Its called being safe people..."
No, it's called the *ussification of America. It snows here. Deal with it. Uncomfortable with that? Move to Florida. Do you stay home from work when it snows? If you do, I wouldn't ever consider hiring you. We have become such a society of wet noodles it's scary. Buses have chains (most are automatic), use them for crying out loud. I'm not saying go out in a blizzard or a foot of snow, but we're talking about closing schools based on a FORECAST of 1-3" of snow! It's no wonder people can do nothing for themselves anymore. Christallmighty!

Well, with some of the best ranked facilities in the nation and the lowest, or 3rd from the lowest in the nation, I don't think a few days of missing school will hurt the children, and definitely not the teachers who are not doing their jobs in the student achievement area.

Its called being safe people,was the storm that came through bad? No. Were the roads,especially the side and back roads icey?yes they were. I do not understand people who complain about somebody making a decison that protects the children of this area.

This is a perfect example of The Journal's approach to education in Berkeley. Here we have a terribly lengthy article about a decision to close schools on account of dangerous roads and a full interview with Manny Arvon. Where are the articles on the county's failing education system? Where is the interview with Manny, the highest paid county superintendent in the whole state, asking him why, in his pricey opinion, the students here perform so badly on standardized tests and why his own website does not post WesTest2 results but, instead, ballyhoos this months trophy recipient for Caring Educator? Education, like crime, remains a local concern. So, where's the concern?

One thing to bare in mind is that most schools( Ele., Jr high and High) were in your local home town just blocks from your house, now kids are bused to one or two schools in the center of the county.

we close schools for 1" of snow...where were those administrators back in the 60s ???? it had to be REALLY deep to close schools, as the buses even put chains on their tires for traction.no bus accidents that I can remember ever happened due to snow... not in the 12 yrs that I attended back in the day. new breed of people living here today...

The South Carolina Stingrays played their best game of the series against Gwinnett in Game 4 Friday night.
But the Stingrays' best still wasn't good enough to beat the Gladiators.
Joey Haddad and Evan Bloodoff each scored during a 75-second span in the second period and Louis Domingue stopped 40 shots to lead Gwinnett past South Carolina, 4-3, in Game 4 of the ECHL's Eastern Conference quarterfinal.
With the victory, the Gladiators swept the Stingrays, 4-0, in the best-of-seven series. The Gladiators will face the winner of the Cincinnati-Toledo series in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Gladiators avenged last year's loss to the Stingrays in the opening round of the Kelly Cup playoffs.
The Stingrays outworked, outhustled and outshot the Gladiators for three full periods, but couldn't get the bounces they needed to extend the their season another game.
The Gladiators, like they had done all series, took advantage of their scoring chances when they got them.
"That was our best game of the series," Stingrays captain Kevin Quick said. "I felt like we outplayed them. Sometimes you're going to lose a game like that and it's OK. You can live with it, if they didn't have a 3-0 lead in the series. But it happened to be an elimination game and our season is done much earlier than we had hoped."
The game featured two huge momentum swings within a five-minute span during the second period. After grabbing a 2-0 lead on goals from Ryan Ginand and Sacha Guimond in the first period, the Stingrays tied the game 2-2 on back-to-back power-play goals from Robbie Dee and Peter Boyd just 39 seconds apart.
"Everything was going our way at that point," Stingrays head coach Spencer Carbery said. "We were finally getting a couple of bounces. We had all the momentum and it looked like we were going to be able to pull this one out."
With the score tied at 2-2, the Stingrays had a 5-on-3 opportunity after a high sticking call Haddad and a delay of game call on Ryan Donald.
But as the Stingrays' two-man advantage was coming to an end, Gwinnett forward Casey Pierro-Zabotel picked up a loose puck inside the Stingrays' offensive zone and found Haddad behind the Stingrays defense in the neutral zone. Hadded skated in all alone on a breakaway and beat Stingrays goalie Jeff Jakaitis for a 3-2 lead.
"You work so hard to tie the game up and then to give up a goal like that is a huge back-breaker," Quick said. "It was just another mental mistake. We made too many mental mistakes this series to beat a team as good as Gwinnett."
Seventy-five seconds after Haddad's short-handed goal, Bloodoff struck again with an NHL-caliber wrist shot that hit off the cross bar and bounced into the net.
"Great shot from Evan," Gwinnett coach John Wrobleswki said. "I'm not sure many goalies could have stopped that shot."
South Carolina made things interesting in the third period when Andrew Cherniwchan scored to pull the Stingrays to within, 4-3, with 3:09 to play.
The Stingrays got a couple of scoring chances in the final minute, but were unable to get the puck past Domingue for the equalizer.
"We didn't give up, we kept working," Quick said. "We didn't quit. Gwinnett is a good team, they found a way to close the series out."
Gwinnett 2 2 0—4
Stingrays 0 2 1—3
First Period: 1. G, Ginand 3 (Murovich, Weller), 3:53. 2. G, Guimond 1 (Jackson, Jones), 19:29 (PP). Penalties: Gaul, SC (elbowing), 17:48.

Not for babies under one Review by Mariko
Price Value Quality
This is not so much a review since I have not been able to use this product yet. I just wanted to say that you should really post that this is not for babies under 1. I bought it for my 8 month old and was disappointed to read on the container that she was too young for it. I am sure it will work great b/c I use all of Dimpleskins products and they all work wonderful but I have few more months before she will try it out.
A note from the bynature.ca team: This product does contains pure and organic essential oils that are recommended for use on children over the age of 1 year (some suggest they are safe for 6 months and up). This being said, less than a 1% dilution of these oils is found in Dimpleskins products, so they are still extremely mild. (Posted on 1/1/11)
Great natural replacement for other "rub" Review by Mom3
Price Value Quality
I bought the Sniffles this past winter because we wanted something natural to replace a non-natural brand of "rub" that is commonly used to rub on a child's chest, neck and feet to help with a cold and cough. I found that it worked well as a natural replacement and helped my child sleep better when I rubbed it on her feet and chest when she had a bad cold and cough. I also liked the smell of it. It worked just as well as the non-natural product I used before, but I am happy that it's natural instead. (Posted on 8/20/11)

Empower, synergise, collaborate, engage, converge, govern, brain-storm, strategise, leverage and carriage are examples of merbs.

Brown Summit, NC -- McNair Elementary School should be open to students and staff by February 2013, Guilford County Schools announced Monday night. The school was supposed to be completed in July of this year.
Contractor Farley Associates was fired in September after it couldn't finish the job. The project's bonding company, The Hartford, hired contractor JE Dunn to finish the work. Construction workers were back on site on Monday.
Special Section: McNair Elementary School Saga
"It's definitely not a position we want to be in, but it's not one that we're going to run from either," Guilford County Schools construction director Julius Monk said Tuesday. "We're going to make sure that this project gets completed to the quality standards that we're used to."
That means JE Dunn not only has to finish the $15 million project, but it also has to re-do some things Farley didn't do well enough. So even though the school is 90 percent complete now, finishing the plumbing, flooring and electrical work will take a little extra time.
Regional superintendent Randy Shaver says students and teachers have done a good job dealing with being split up between Brightwood Elementary and Jesse Wharton Elementary while they waited for their new school.
"We don't think that the kids have missed a minute of teaching and learning," Shaver said.
And he doesn't think moving the students in to McNair during the middle of the second semester will be a problem.
"That's a legitimate concern," Shaver said. "As a parent, I would think, 'Well, is this really going to be the best thing for my child?' ... We don't think uprooting them [is] ... going to be difficult. We have a plan to practice that."
That practice plan includes busing students over to McNair before the school is opened to give the children an opportunity to explore the school and get used to being there before they move in.
A spokeswoman noted to WFMY News 2 that the new timeline could be adjusted if any other issues arise, but says the February goal is based on updates from JE Dunn. Any cost overruns for the project based on the delays will be paid by The Hartford.

Educate teens on new media
March 21, 2013
It seems obvious from recent events that many teenagers are not being educated adequately regarding technology and communications medi....
Actually I think it's 'teaching' a lot of ignorant immoral adults and children that they can get caught by these actions.
I noticed you only mention "kids." Well, how about all the ADULTS caught through the same new media available? There's pros and cons to everything we invent today. There's good and bad in everything. THIS is a good tool being used to 'catch' criminals as well as criminals using them for their trade. So I think we teach children they WILL be caught if they do these things, but leave it alone......it's helping catch those who maybe would not have been so easily caught BEFORE they commit a crime such as adults online enticing underage children for sexual encounters. How often can we say we catch these dispicable perverts 'after' they drive down a road and throw them into their vehicle??? Something to think about!

Some years ago, an apparent first-time author from West Virginia penned a book detailing the best football coaches in the state of West Virginia.
Far too typically, the writer dismissed anyone from the Eastern Panhandle, as if we didn't exist.
The credibility of the excessively subjective piece was rejected in this space because of the absence of Denny Price of Musselman.
Article Photos
Price had coached Applemen teams to a pair of state football championships at the time the book was published, but he didn't make the cut. Musselman won another state championship under Price, as well, after the book was written - that one after miles and miles of travel as a 16 seed.
Some of those so-afforded status as the best and brightest coaches in that paperback had never led even a single team to a state title.
Wonder if Price would qualify for inclusion in the book now?
With 40 years as the head coach at one school and a state record number of victories?
Maybe Price, who handed in his playbook Thursday as he officially announced his retirement, qualifies.
Just maybe.
While no high school coach - any coach, for that matter - can say how many games he will win or how many seasons he will coach going into the profession, to stay around for some a duration says something determination and loyalty.
In the bigger world of so-called amateur football at the college level, coaches come and go at the penstroke of a signature on the newest and fattest contract. Coaches at the high-school level chase more, too.
They don't stay 40 years.
That's like infinity in coaching circles.
Yet, Price pulled it off.
Maybe that it's that he knew nothing else. Maybe that teaching, be it in the classroom or on the football field, just kept coursing and coursing through his veins. Maybe his life's work had never ended in 40 years.
Maybe he could see no reason to change.
Now it changes.
But Price's legacy will remain.
He not only won games and lost games, but Price created a culture in southern Berkeley County and cemented it through the years.
Players from the early days stayed and brought along their sons from the later days, and each wore the green and white as proudly as anyone. The offspring wanted to play for the same man and school as their old men.
Fans just kept coming. They'd sit in the same seats for years; others would take the same spot on the same chain link of the fence surrounding the field like it was a piece of real estate they owned.
The Inwood/Bunker Hill area became Musselman, and Musselman it.
All because of Price.
If a man stays around 40 years, he's going to win some games, as Price pointed out during his farewell talk.
That's four decades of influence, too.
Players will remember certain aspects of a particular game, but they won't remember it all. More of that they experience and remember are the friendships and bonds they buit and, most importantly, lessons taught by the coach. Their lives will be reflected in it.
Price can talk about certain seasons, those seasons in which they won championships. Without question, the title in 1995 as the last seed, getting in at the last possible hour, too, has to be a highlight.
He can talk about all of the games and seasons.
But his time at Musselman has not been devoid of pain.
Not the the type of pain of the 14-9 championship game loss to East Bank in 1989 when the Applemen kept fumbling away the football every time they came close to the Pioneers' goal line.
The pain of losing players.
Kicker Chad Brock died in a car accident during the regular season.
Later, probably the school's greatest athlete in its history, Todd Mosby, died while on scholarship at West Virginia where he had gone to play football.
Not only did Price have to coach football, at those times he had to be a counselor to the players, keeping it all together as he grieved as much as his players.
It come with coaching, though few experience it, nor few have to understand and explain it.
Price could be prickly to the press, particularly after a loss, but there were times when Price would sit down members of the media, after the business part of the talk concluded, and gab couple hours just about life.
Now he gets to experience what many normal people enjoy, not the long hours at the football faciltiy and the extra time at home watching game films - 18 hours of football daily.
Price pointed out that he became a grandparent, part of the reason for his retirement now.
He will "know." It is the best thing any human being can experience, as Price is finding out.
Teacher, football coach and now grandfather, Price still gets a chance to instill wisdom.
It's more than just coaching, though that's only what some of us see.
We saw a lot of Price.
There should be something more.
Sure, the school orchestrated a press conference so Price could announce his retirement to the public. It must do more.
Musselman needs to honor Price with a lasting memory, because he left a tradition in 40 years that no one will ever see again. Not at Musselman, not anywhere in West Virginia.
The stadium must include Price's name.
Yes, now the facility is named Waldeck Field, and there's no reason to exclude the principal for whom it's named.
The stadium he nurtured, both on the turf, a surface that he watched every little blade of grass grow and he cared for over the summer, to the team that played on it, that Price, likewise, watched it as it germinated into a quality squad, should include him in its name somehow.
And there is precedent for such an honor. When a new school was built and Musselman moved across the street and up a few blocks, going across the railroad tracks from Bunker Hill to Inwood, the school named the basketball floor in its new gym for its standout basketball coach and athletic director - (Charlie) Cline Court.
Choose Waldeck and Price Field, if you will.
Waldeck Field at Price Stadium.
Price deserves nothing less.
Book that.

Cakewalk: Making Music with Sonar

Oops, something didn't work.
Did anyone else notice that the volume dropped at 23:37 or so?
Despite that its good stuff
Pro tools does not currently take advantage of 64 bit processors. Cakewalk mixes at 32 bit, but Pro Tools mixes at 48 bit (audio resolution). All of this is crazy good, and currently to mix to CD means you end up distributing audio mixed down to 16 bit (major degredation from what the studio engineers listen to).
I would love to be able to record macros in Cakewalk (can we get .Net language integration?).
The major great thing about Sonar 6 is that I can have a job (Datawarehouse/BI Technical Lead), a family, a life, and still mix 3 hours of music a week while keeping up with learning new tunes with my friends. In other words, mixing is made so fast, that I can record a 3 hour Wednesday night jam session and get mixed to CD and give it to my friends by the next Wednesday we get together.
Cakewalk is great! I would say that Cakewalk with Windows has passed anything else available at this time.
The Mary J. Blige recording was ProTools demo at a recent tour through Richmond, VA on why pro_tools is great. This was hosted by Sweetwater Music Supplier. It was interesting to see the original Mary J. Blige tapes and watch Pro Tools remix and alter the
tempo of the recording and so forth, but after watching the demo, I still had no interest in switching to pro tools.
It is interesting that both Pro Tools and Cakewalk (other name for Sonar 6) feel the Mary J. Blige recording was a win for them.
I would say that it's a bit like Java vs. .Net. For most of us, either one is more than we need now, but we all want to make the choice that will best grow over time. Close your eyes and pick one, and you'll probably be fine for all your purposes. For what it's worth, I've chosen Sonar and .Net, and for years I have never been disappointed.

on December 20, 2012 - 1:00 AM
There's nothing like being home for the holidays. For some former professional Buffalo athletes, Western New York has become their adopted home and they have remained here long after their careers on the playing field have ended. Often, our community is better because of their decision to stay.
Ruben Brown, a Lynchburg, Va., native and Buffalo Bills guard from 1995-03, as well as a nine-time National Football League Pro Bowler, is one such individual. Every December for the last five years, Brown has made a concerted effort to make sure that local underprivileged children have the opportunity to share in the holiday spirit.
Through his charitable organization, the Ruben Brown Foundation, students from a local school are chosen to participate in a holiday shopping experience. There's a bit of a twist, however. The students do not get to shop for themselves. Rather, Brown asks that they shop for their friends and family instead.
This year, two dozen students in kindergarten through fourth grade from the Aloma D. Johnson Fruit Belt Community Charter School on Michigan Avenue were selected for the event, which took place last Thursday. The students were bused from their school to the Target store on Transit Road in Lancaster. The excitement for the youngsters began long before arriving at the store as they were wide-eyed at seeing the many homes adorned with Christmas lights en route.
Once at the store, the children were advised by Brown and volunteers from his foundation that each would be given a budget of $50 for which they should shop for gifts for a loved one. Typically, some of the children initially struggled with having to think of others before themselves, but all soon were aglow at loading their shopping carts with toys, trinkets and (surprise!) even household essentials to give to their family members and friends. The spirit of giving filled the air.
Brown said he does this event because he believes it's imperative that all children learn the value of giving back, a lesson he was taught as a child by his deacon grandfather. Brown recalled being inspired by watching his grandfather work very hard at giving back to his local community – be it through work at his church or delivering meals to the housebound through the Meals on Wheels organization.
Brown's hope for every child is that they will have someone in their lives that will inspire them to think of others before themselves. The Ruben Brown Foundation is but one organization among a host of others established by former professional athletes who want to give back to our community. A list of Buffalo sports notables – Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Ryan Miller, Pat LaFontaine – barely scratches the surface of the many professional athletes who have made positive contributions to Western New York.
With all the negative publicity that sometimes pervades the world of professional sports, it's nice to learn about the positive legacy these players and others seem determined to leave – a gift to us all.
