When it comes to successful high school girls volleyball programs, a few teams in the Mirror coverage area have some big-time pedigrees.
Northern Cambria is the defending state Class A champion, Philipsbuerg-Osceola made it to the PIAA Class AA tournament last year, and Altoona, without any seniors in its lineup, made it to the PIAA Class AAA tournament before bowing out to Seneca Valley.

Altoona's Lydia Weatherly (25) and Hollidaysburg's Sara McGarvey return this fall.
Despite losing a good part of that championship team, the Lady Colts still return seven letterwinners who started at some point under head coach Mike Hogan.
Philipsburg-Osceola might have a harder time getting back to the state tournament after losing some of its top players to graduation. It has a new coach in Dave Eckburg, who was promoted after being an assistant coach last year. The Lady Spikers, under Karan Price, have nine returning letterwinners to challenge State College.
There are some folks in the local scholastic volleyball community who believe teams from Central, Bishop Carroll, Bellwood-Antis and Huntingdon could challenge for a postseason spot.
Here is a capsulized look at some area teams.

Microsoft is working hard to make things better for the launch of Windows 7 following the lukewarm reception to Windows Vista. Vista was plagued with early hardware and software incompatibility issues that were one of the main reasons enterprise customers refused to migrate from XP.
Microsoft says that among the improvements in Windows 7 is better support for Hyper-Threading according to Microsoft's Bill Veghte. Veghte says that Microsoft has been working closely with Intel to beef up Windows 7's support for Hyper-Threading. Hyper-Threading it a technique used by Intel to allow processing tasks to be divided among multiple cores on a processor.
Veghte said at the Microsoft TechEd conference, "The work that we've done in Windows 7 in the scheduler and the core of the system to take full advantage of those capabilities, ultimately we think we can deliver a great and better experience for you. We need to make sure the ecosystem is really, really ready."
Veghte is keen to get people to understand that Windows 7 won't suffer from the same early problems Vista had that prevented the operating system from making headway in enterprise environments. He says that Windows 7 is "very, very close" to achieving full compatibility with virtually all hardware and software makers.
Microsoft currently expects to finish Windows 7 by mid-August and offer a final version to consumers and businesses by the holiday shopping season. That is a key target for Microsoft as a better operating system could woo consumers to buy new computers for the holidays. Better computer sales is certainly something that both Microsoft and computer makers need. Microsoft has admitted that Windows sales are down 16% in the most recent fiscal quarter.
quote: The HT in the processors makes two architectural states available on the same physical processor. Each architectural state can execute an instruction stream, which means that two concurrent threads of execution can occur on a single physical processor. Each thread of execution can be independently halted or interrupted. These architectural states are referred to as logical processors in this white paper.The main difference between the execution environment provided by the processor, compared with that provided by two traditional single-threaded processors, is that HT shares certain processor resources: there is only one execution engine, one on-board cache set, and one system bus interface. This means that the logical processors on an HT processor must compete for use of these shared resources. As a result, an HT processor will not provide the same performance capability as two similarly equipped single-threaded processors.

Steam for Linux confirmed (April Fool's Day) | Opensource.com
Steam for Linux confirmed (April Fool's Day)
Note: This is an old April Fool's post. But for real news, see this story from April 2012--Steam on Linux is expected by the end of the year.
I'm sorry. That post title was a cheap way to get you to read this, wasn't it? But since it's April Fool's Day, it seemed like the best time to talk about the greatest joke on Linux users--the eternal wait for Steam.
I confess. For about a month, I've been spreading rumors. Back in February, I saw a blog post that said the hypothetical link to the Linux client on the Steam store gives you a 403 error, implying that there's something there you're just not meant to see. . . yet. It's still true. If you go to http://store.steampowered.com/public/client/steam_client_linux, you indeed still get a 403. So as I mentioned on The Linux Link Tech Show this week, I'm holding onto my optimism.
But then, it's been almost a year since a post on Phoronix assured us with slightly better rumors and link-following that there would be Steam for Linux by June. In August, Steam confirmed that it wasn't.
Back to the optimism, just this past week, someone in the Steam forums started talking about the possibility of Steam for Android. It's not your Linux desktop, even if it was games and not just chat/social functions, but it would still be a step in a good direction.
What do you think? Hope, or give up?
11 Comments
It's always quite frustrating when people pretend that there was never an accessible client (or that it's just the dedicated server client) - having actually run (as well as it could - without working font rendering or the WebKit engine) the client when it was accessible (and updated, albiet probably automatically) for several days, thanks to the pretty awesome guys in the Phoronix IRC channel at the time...
Initially its bash script would just (in a terminal) try and fail to look for updates from an internal Valve server, but eventually it was discovered a configarution file could be placed in the directory to make it use the aforementioned URL, which worked; following that however it used to encounter some issue before starting any UI. But eventually one of the guys in the IRC managed to patch it (somehow) to get some form of UI to load, and over time they got a little better at it - by the end it was possible to log in and get a 'shell' of the Steam UI - all text was missing, and the WebKit engine was missing, so no store etc, but you could see notifications and funnily enough send (yet not yourself see) Steam chat messages. Not long after this the file went 403... then a few months ago it went 404, but then about a month later 403 again.
But I digress - whatever happens, I've always argued that Valve would be in the best position of any of the game publishers/developers to take a good shot at the Chicken and Egg problem of gaming on Linux:
* with some brilliant and very popular first party games (Half-Life, Team Fortress, Portal, etc etc)
* an engine which is designed to provide a 'write run, run anywhere' solution on supported platforms for those developing games on it - so in other words, were Source to support Linux (with a lot of the same required work already been done for OS X), they'd easily be able to bring almost all of their games except the early GoldSrc games (ignoring that GoldSrc already supports OpenGL...), as well as those of third parties using the engine.
* having pretty much the most popular game distribution service, in addition to the aforementioned Source games, they'd be able to bring many of the Indie games that already have Linux ports (e.g. World of Goo) as they're already doing on OS X with Steam Play.
* despite being so successful, still being a privately run company must surely give Valve a lot more chance to take risks, as they surely already have in the past (e.g. their model of keeping TF2 players enticed with big free updates, in order to bring new players and get them into the general Steam ecosystem).
Oh damn, this was supposed to be a short comment and I've written as massive one as ever... oh well. Anyway my point is, it'd make far more sense for Valve to test the Linux waters than it would for any other large game developer/publisher (e.g. EA). There was of course the denial by Valve of working on a Linux client "right now" a few months back, but considering what a risky move Linux support (in the gaming industry) would supposedly be, it's surely something you'd not announce until you're definite about launching it and are just about to do so.
If you really think about it what can steam really offer the Linux desktop that Synaptic + PlayOnLinux do not? Oh right...cruddy DRM because THAT'S worth waiting for...
Umm... How about Native support for major game titles?! Are you daft, or can you not see the benefit?
Obviously Steam/Valve don't want to anger MS Monopoly, so they deliver Windows software with partial support for Mac/BSD systems. When Steam is threatened by another direct-download supplier (probably google) they'll open their well-prepared doors when the reprisals from Microsoft are nullified by free markets.
linux is in your phone, TV, Blu-ray, router, mp3 player and most other devices you own that have an operating system. At the end of the day, license-free devices win out in the market over those that require a fee to the toll troll OS.
Steam will be a competitor long after Microsoft is just another bottom-feeding IP lawsuit income corporation.
Consider the fairly recent 'Games for Windows Live', and the 'Mac App Store', both of which must be competing with Steam to a degree, so Valve could make the case (to itself) that it currently faces less first-part competition on Linux (yes there's the Ubuntu Software Centre, but I'm sure Canonical would rather sacrifice some sales there then pass an opportunity to have Steam).
I'm not holding my breath but I also not wineing (har har). I'm just waiting for it to happen and happily playing Sauerbraten. Lord knows I'm easily addicted to cheap video games so it's not even a bad thing they've taken their sweet ash time getting around to it. When it does roll around I'll be excited to play L4d and a dozen other games that will surely be antiques. I'll even throw down for another copy of nwn2 platinum on my hypothetical future steam account when a special rolls around.
I'm wagering I'm not the only one who is holding back his wallet for native linux support. When it comes and it comes right I want to show the right support in that way vegans completely fail to understand.
Just as a reminder of our article last year on this topic. Proof that we were duped with hope.
i'm sorry but you are out of line for creating that title. a google search for "steam linux" brings up your page as the second result. you're generating traffic based on a lie, not to mention getting peoples hopes up, and i'm sure it wont be long before your page is the first result. apologising for it means nothing - if you were sorry you would change the title.

Apple or hate it, it's impossible to deny that Apple knows how to
make a hit product. The company currently has the largest
market cap of any tech company in the world. After
returning from medical leave Apple CEO Steve Jobs returned swinging
for the fences, announcing the
iPad tablet computer in January. The iPad launched in Wi-Fi
form on April 3 (U.S.), in 3G
form on April 30 (U.S.), and finally in nine more
countries on
May 28.Apple quickly blazed through sales of 1
million and 2
million units, leading some analysts to predict it could
sell as many as 8
million units this year.It certainly looks like
that's a strong possibility, considering that Apple just sold its 3
millionth iPad on Monday, only 80 days after the device's
launch. Steve Jobs cheered the news, stating, "People are
loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives. We're
working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more
people around the world, including those in nine more countries next
month."With the iPad, the tablet has become a hot
new field of computing, which many say could rival netbooks
or even traditional PCs. After Apple's success many companies
have scrambled
to release tablets, but none of them have made it to market in
the U.S. yet.What makes the sales of the iPad particularly
impressive is that they were generated during the traditionally weak
summer months. Between back-to-school shopping and the holiday
season, Apple can anticipate sales to possibly rise in the near
term.Given this, we would raise the previous analyst
estimates and actually estimate that Apple will sell between 9
million and 11 million iPads this year.
quote: We're not going to beat around the bush -- in our approximation, the iPhone 4 is the best smartphone on the market right now.
quote: Not really. Apple has a lot of fans because their products are very shiny and expensive

I feel a rant coming on.
It's been a while since I've gone off on one of these. Usually my rants are caused by the realization that chips aren't sold in six ounce bags anymore, or trying to figure out why I can get a two-liter bottle of Coke for just 99 cents but I have to pay $1.99 for a 12-ounce.
This rant was caused by a fetish with the 1960s, and a desire to go back there and live amongst the flower children and dropouts.
I went off.
I was a child of the 1960s and I came of age in the 1970s. Do I miss that time? Heck no. Do I want to go back and relive those times again? Once was plenty.
This is what I remember about the 1960s. First, we almost went to war with the Soviet Union. Second, our president was killed ... then his brother, Bobby, and after that, Martin.
Three men died in a fire on the launching pad of Apollo 1, including the second man to go into space, Gus Grissom.
There were no Diet Cokes, or light beer. No magic markers, just ballpoint pens with indelible ink, and just my luck I didn't learn what the word indelible meant until AFTER I drew the mustache and goatee on all my sisters' Barbie dolls. To me indelible means a big spanking and being grounded for two weeks.
We had limited color TV – only at my grandma's house – and when we did watch there were just three stations from which to choose and someone had to hold the tin foil rabbit ears so we could pick up a decent signal. For years I thought that was why we had my little brother.
There was no texting, no Internet, no voice mail, and if you did make a phone call, you had to check first to see if someone else was on the line because your house had a party line. You were tethered to the wall in the kitchen or the front foyer by a short cord, and if you called and no one was home, the phone just rang and rang forever.
And good luck if you were trying to dial the local radio station to win concert tickets because all we had were rotary dial phones back then, and the radio station hit line was full of zeros and nines. You could work up a decent finger cramp cranking out that number.
The very people you idolized from that era didn't have the sense not to kill themselves on drugs and booze. Shopping malls hadn't been invented yet, and while gas cost 15 cents a gallon, cars back then were carbon monoxide-spewing monsters that averaged around 4 mpg. Back then they didn't even know what mpg meant nor did they care.
I grew up in the 1960s and for one I was glad the '70s and '80s arrived, if for no other reason than air conditioning, Diet Coke and magic markers. The '70s gave me something to hate - Disco.
Because of the conveniences we enjoy now we are able to look back fondly on what was perceived as a simpler time. It was not. When else could you get shot while attending college?
When else would you have A-Bomb drills during school?
The best thing about the '60s and '70s is that they're 40 years in our rearview mirror.

The Grooms for Congress campaign announced more endorsements for State Sen. Larry Grooms last week, including that of Moncks Corner Mayor Bill Peagler.
Grooms is one of 16 Republican candidates for the vacant First Congressional U.S. House of Representatives seat.
"I know Larry well," Peagler said. "He has walked the walk when it comes to matters related to limited government, liberty and fiscal conservatism more so than any of the other candidates in this race."
Berkeley County Council members Dennis Fish and Cathy Davis also have announced their support for Grooms.
"He will fight for the taxpayer, even if it means going against members of his own party," Fish said. "Larry's record in the senate illustrates his ability to do what's right, no matter what."
North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said, "When Boeing was looking to build their 787 Dreamliner in another state, Larry and three other legislators, rescued the deal and paved the way for the largest economic development project in our state. Larry knows how to get people to work together, a talent greatly needed in Congress."
Other endorsements came from Charleston County Council Vice Chairman, Elliot Summey and Dorchester County Councilman Larry Hargett.
Berkeley County Council Vice Chairman, Dennis Fish said, "When it came to reigning in the state budget, lawmakers shot down Larry's amendment to provide taxpayers some $81 million in income tax relief. Berkeley County Council member, Cathy Davis said, "We have the opportunity to replace Senator Tim Scott with a proven conservative. Congress needs Larry Grooms and his conservative values now more than ever."

I got home and put out the sandwiches only to realize that I forgot to get one for Gray. Thankfully he doesn't eat the bread and I had the ingredients in my own sandwich and the rest in the fridge to make a pretty convincing mock-up. He never had a clue.
I spent the entire day washing veggies and preparing food for the birthday party. It was one of those rare moments in time where I found enjoyment in every single task, and everything turned out exactly as it should. Even hubby had finished with the grill just as the final dish was set out and our guests were ready to eat.
[Carter read each card out loud. Really loud.]
[He asked for brownies instead of cake. I also served mini pound cakes with fresh strawberries & blueberries topped with whipped cream.]
I realized I forgot the candle when Carter said to me, "Now Mommy, you didn't forget my candle now, did you?" And so a quick call to Mimi had that taken care of (she was already picking up the frozen pink lemonade I'd also forgotten for the punch.)
I did buy balloons. And forgot to 1.) blow them up and 2.) put them out.
When searching for the allergy medicine for a guest our hall closet might have thrown up on me. I quickly shoved everything back in and managed to get it shut again, with a little shoulder/half body slam.
I totally cheated and copied our entire menu (aside from dessert) from Amy's birthday post earlier this week. Seriously, the punch and the potato salad I could probably live on. And maybe had for breakfast this morning.
I still have eleventymillion dishes to wash. I do not have a dishwasher.
I later found Carter outside practicing his skateboard. "I'm not really good at it yet, Mommy. I'm a little wobbly. But I'll keep trying."
Oh, kid... me too. Me too.

An acronym for Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums. It is a police squad unit originally created by the LAPD as a way to break the infrastructure of crime in the ghettos. It turns out leadership of these CRASH teams became corrupt, and even the most decorated officers were guilty of killing other cops, selling and using crack, and planting weapons and drugs in order to frame innocents. The origins of the CRASH lead back into the fifties, when J. Edgar Hoover ran the FBI, and as sneak attacks before dawn and after midnight would claim the lives of many black leaders, and eventually the Black Panthers and rappers like Tupac Shakur. CRASH disbanded officially circa 2001, but very similar units exist across the US in other departments.
Many CRASH cases are still unsolved, and the LAPD is imfamous for hiding any inciminating files.

Nov. 1, 2007 -- A protein in the pancreas may offer new clues on the cause of gestational diabetes as well as type 2 diabetes.
A new study of mice shows that during pregnancy the pancreas has less of the protein called menin. This protein acts like a brake on the growth of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. With less menin, the body's insulin production is allowed to increase to meet the demands of the developing pregnancy.
But with gestational diabetes this brake is released and not enough insulin is produced.
Researchers say the finding could lead to new treatments for gestational diabetes as well as other forms of the disease.
"The basis of gestational diabetes has been a black box," says researcher Seung Kim, MD, PhD, associate professor of developmental biology at Stanford University of Medicine, in a news release.
According to the American Diabetes Association, about 4% of pregnant women develop gestational diabetes, which is when a previously non-diabetic woman's body isn't able to make enough insulin needed during pregnancy.
Protein Tied to Gestational Diabetes
Researchers focused on the insulin-producing parts of the pancreas, called the islets.
In laboratory tests with mice, researchers found that when mice produced too much of the protein menin, the islets couldn't grow properly and the mice developed gestational diabetes.
"This suggests that there is an internal code for controlling pancreatic islet growth," says Kim.
Kim says that code appears to be regulated partly by the level of menin.
Researchers also found that the body has a natural way of regulating the amount of menin in the pancreas via a hormone called prolactin. This hormone is elevated during pregnancy. When they gave non-pregnant mice this hormone, the menin levels dropped and the islet cells grew as during pregnancy.
Kim found that obese mice also have less menin circulating in their system, which suggests that the protein may play a role in obesity-related type 2 diabetes.

on October 25, 2012 - 12:12 AM
Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams has undergone a procedure to relieve discomfort in his left wrist, but is not expected to miss any game action.
Coach Chan Gailey made that announcement Wednesday, following the Bills' one and only practice of the bye week.
"He'll be at practice next week," Gailey said. "That's what I understand. That's what I was told."
Williams was not in attendance Wednesday – the first practice he's missed all season – a day after The Buffalo News reported he was considering surgery on his wrist. Gailey was vague on any other details surrounding the procedure, saying he had "no idea" whether it was performed in Buffalo or in Houston, where Williams played the first six seasons of his career.
The coach said he "thinks" the procedure was performed Tuesday, but was coy about everything else when it came to Williams, as evidenced by the following exchange with reporters.
Question: When and how was the decision made?
Gailey: "I don't know all that. They told me what happened and said he'll be ready next week, that's all I know right now."
Q: So you're not clear on exactly what the issue is with the wrist?
Gailey: "No."
Q: Is that Williams' decision , or does he have to run it by team doctors?
Gailey: "I don't know how all that's made, I just know it happened."
Q: Just to clarify, was it a surgical procedure? You said procedure.
Gailey: "I don't know exactly what it was, to be honest with you. I don't know if they did something non-invasive or invasive."
The Bills on Wednesday denied an interview request made by The News to speak with team trainer Bud Carpenter about Williams' injury, citing a team policy.
Gailey, who again refused to say how much he thought Williams was being affected by the injury, explained why the procedure could be beneficial to the player beyond its physical impact.
"Every advantage that you can get mentally for every player is great," the coach said. "Everything that makes them feel better about playing, it helps."
Williams has played in all seven games this season, but his production – 16 tackles and 3.5 sacks – has not been commensurate with his contract, a six-year pact worth potentially $100 million that makes him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.
The league got involved in the saga last week, fining the Bills $20,000 for not properly reporting Williams' injury, which it called a sprain.
The Bills are off today through Sunday. They'll return to practice Monday to prepare for their Week Nine game in Houston.
"That's when you take care of things, is bye week, if you've got some little things you can take care of, that's when you do it," Gailey said.
Should Williams be limited when he returns, the Bills will turn to defensive ends Kyle Moore and the recently re-signed Shawne Merriman.
"If he's banged up then the next guy's got to come in and play, period," Merriman said. "Things like that are going to happen during an NFL season. It's a long season. … While a guy gets healthy, the next guy has to step up. … I'm one of the next guys."
Merriman played in seven snaps Sunday against Tennessee in his first game since rejoining the team. He had one quarterback hurry.
Moore played in 22 snaps against the Titans, recording two quarterback hits and a half sack.
"I'm starting to get a handle on things," Moore said. "I'm starting to get a little bit more reps and I just have to go out there and execute the amount of reps I get."
Williams has played most of his snaps on the left side of the line. Moore said he didn't have a preference on which side he rushed from.
"I'm better on some moves on the left, and I'm better with some moves on the right," he said. "There's different footwork, different hand placement, depending on which side you're on."
Fellow defensive end Mark Anderson, meanwhile, has an outside chance to play against Houston, Gailey said, but it's more likely he'll return in Week 10 at New England. Anderson, who was signed as a free agent a week after Williams, has missed the past two games after having knee surgery.

Packing school lunches doesn't have to mean another task for a parent during the school year, because kids can get in on making choices and planning.
"To start off with, I usually tell parents to make sure you get your kids involved in this whole thing because you want to make sure that you're providing them [with foods] they like. There's such a big push to make sure they're eating healthy, but you also want to make sure that they're eating, because that really kind of helps with their grades and everything," said Dona Baughman, registered dietitian and clinical manger for UPMC Altoona's Nutrition Services Department. "I think the key, really, is to get your kid involved, because if you put a bunch of [food] in their lunch box that they don't even like, that's when they start to complain."
Parents should aim for having a lunch that includes at least three food groups, she said. Go with fresh fruits they like and add in such items as fruit snacks only occasionally, to offer them some variety, she suggested.
Article Photos
Baughman also recommended letting a child try different foods, such as whole grain breads, before school starts so they can figure out what they like.
When picking a protein, she said, go for lean meats with no "filler." Meats with fillers to avoid include bologna, pepperoni, chipped ham and salami. Turkey, ham or roast beef without fillers are good choices. Peanut butter and tuna are also good options. Tuna is lean and gets them interested in fish, a good lean protein, especially for adults.
Balance the rest of the meal out with a vegetable such as baby carrots, and milk or water to drink, she said.
Fact Box
After school specials
Lunch isn't the only meal time to consider during the school year. Dr. Keith Kantor, a nutritionist and member of the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award Committee, offered the following quick and easy afternoon snacks.
* 2 slices gluten free bread, 1 tablespoon all natural almond butter, and 1/4 cup raspberries instead of jelly.
* 3 ounces carrot sticks with 4 tablespoons hummus for dipping.
* 3 large romaine lettuce leaves, 3 slices nitrate-free deli chicken or turkey, 2 slices tomatoes, 1 ounce cheese, and mustard. Wrap the ingredients in the lettuce leaves.
* 1/4 cup nuts or homemade trail mix made with 2 tablespoons raw nuts and 2 tablespoons dried fruit such as raisins.
* 1 cup cucumber slices with salsa and guacamole for dipping.
* 6-8 oz. plain Greek yogurt, plus 1/2 cup berries.
* 5 celery sticks with all natural peanut, almond or cashew butter and raisins.
Dr. Keith Kantor, a nutritionist and member of the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award Committee, is the author of the book, "What Matters: Leadership Values that Just Might Save America."
In giving some tips for providing a balanced lunch to kids, Kantor said in an email, "For their drink, make sure it is water instead of a juice, flavored tea or soda. These tend to contain too much sugar, salt and dyes."
He also believes in having the child partake in the decisions.
"Have the children help with preparing the lunch so they take ownership of it," he said.
Parents can start having kids help pack their lunch and take responsibility for letting parents know when it is time to go shopping at a young age, Baughman said.
"If they own it, they seem to like it a little bit better," she said.
Another solution for easy school lunches just happens to be dinner.
Associated Press food editor J.M. Hirsch's new book, "Beating the Lunch Box Blues," offered suggestions for making dinner leftovers into next-day lunches in an excerpt from his book.
"Easy, delicious lunch packing relies on leftovers," he said. "This is why there are certain dinner foods I always make sure to cook too much of: chicken, steak, pasta, rice and grilled or roasted vegetables. They're all easily transformed into something fresh.
"That's why dinner is the best time to start thinking about the next day's lunch. If supper leftovers could be easily repurposed, you might as well make a little extra."
The following recipe for bacon-cauliflower mac and cheese makes enough to have the next day, he said.
Bacon-Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
Hirsch says, "The bacon and four cheeses make this mac and cheese seriously indulgent. But the cauliflower and whole-wheat pasta make it virtuous. For speed, you can skip the breadcrumb and broiling step, making this an easy stovetop meal. I'm a big believer in have-it-your-way. I like elbow pasta for mac and cheese, but substitute whatever you have. Ditto for my selection of cheeses."
Start to finish: 30 minutes
1 pound whole-wheat elbow pasta
10 strips bacon, chopped
1/2 medium head cauliflower, cored and cut into small florets
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) grated gruyere cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Kosher salt
3/4 panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Heat the oven to broil.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook al dente, about eight minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large, deep oven-safe saute pan over medium heat, cook the bacon for two minutes. Add the cauliflower and saute until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Add the drained pasta to the pan and mix well. Add the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, black pepper and cayenne. Mix well and heat until the milk is hot.
Add the cream cheese, stirring until melted. Sprinkle in the cheddar, gruyere and Parmesan, stirring until melted. Season with salt. Leave the pasta in the pan.
In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs with the melted butter, then scatter evenly over the pasta. Broil for two minutes, or until lightly browned.
Leftover lunch ideas: Use leftover mac and cheese as the filling for a grilled cheese. It was my son's idea. It's a little crazy, but it's a lot delicious. Or pack it warm in a thermos and use it as a topping for DIY nachos. Just accompany with tortilla chips and other toppings, such as bacon or sausage chunks, salsa and a package of guacamole. At lunch, spoon the warm mac and cheese onto the chips and top as desired.
Servings: 4 dinners, plus leftovers

Many organizations joined in the celebration:
What a grand celebration it was! More than 2000 alumni and guests gathered on College Hill for Reunion Weekend as we toasted Hamilton's 200th birthday. The festivities included Bicentennial Colleges, receptions, dinners, musical and sporting events, as well as plenty of opportunities to renew ties with friends.
We hope you enjoyed this once-in-a-lifetime celebration as we look forward with enthusiasm for Hamilton's third century!
This special bicentennial issue of the Hamilton Alumni Review puts aside the magazine's regular format of features and departments in order to document 200 days on (and occasionally off) the Hill. Stories were contributed by student writers assisted by alumni mentors. Student photographers also played a major part in creating the issue. Together, their work links Hamilton past and present.
Published on the occasion of Hamilton's 200th anniversary in 2012 and written by Maurice Isserman, the Publius Virgilius Rogers Professor of American History, this book tells the story of the College's rich history through captivating text and stunning color images.
It was a celebration for the ages: More than 3,000 alumni, family members, students and members of the Hamilton and local communities gathered Sept. 22-25 for a special Bicentennial Assembly, the dedication of the Edward and Virginia Taylor Science Center, the Comstock Luncheon, more than 30 Bicentennial Colleges and campus tours, the opening of an 1871 time capsule, the inauguration of a monthly "Hands on Hamilton History" library exhibit and Career Center networking sessions, along with great sports, performances and food. Experience it in video, photos and stories. More ...

Upshur Sheriff address complaints about cruisers
February 21, 2013
Upshur County Sheriff Dave Coffman said he would remind his deputies about the policy prohibiting unauthorized people in patrol cruisers, but added he would only address complaints regarding his......
"When I was a deputy, I didn't see a problem with dropping my son off at school (in the cruiser)," said Brady said. "If I was driving down the street and had an accident, it was my fault and I never would have thought about suing the County Commission." ... yea right!!

Deputies need these cruisers to be kept at their residences while off duty in case of emergencies ... however, they should not be transporting civilians in those cruisers in any unofficial capacity ... you don't see folks dropping their kids off at school in milk trucks, garbage trucks, mail trucks, beer trucks, grocery trucks or company vehicles among others ... etc!!

Not sure if the new sheriff Coffman is staking out his territory with the Upshur County Commission, but he should choose his battles carefully, he has to live with them another four years. Maybe "dialing it down" a couple of notches would be very helpful Dave.

Former deputy Brady, now county commissioner admits to repeated/years of violating county commission policy and now he's a county commissioner. Is this a great country or what?

Unfortunately, getting Israel to the negotiating table is just a first step in squeezing Israel back to the 1949 Armistice Lines. Doubly unfortunate is that trying to reduce Israel to those lines is a long State Department tradition.
Which makes it all the more disturbing that Israel's government cheers on Kerry's endeavors. On July 14, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas Ramadan greetings, saying "I hope that American Secretary of State John Kerry's efforts have results." Israel's soon-to-be-replaced U.S. Ambassador Michael Oren, echoed this, saying Israel strongly supports Kerry's efforts and, "'If [Abbas] decides to stay in the negotiations, he will find an Israeli government that's very committed to a solution."
Shmuel Katz once said presidents and secretaries of state come and go, "but the spirit of the makers of policy in the State Department has not changed. With increased subservience to Arab demands it has only become more intense, more urgent." Kerry demonstrates he has zero intention of breaking from that mold. He wears Arabist designs like an old suit.
Notwithstanding American posturing as an "honest broker," when it comes to Arab-Israeli negotiations it is two against one – America and the Arabs vs. Israel. Kissinger described diplomacy as the art of restraining power. In this case, it has always meant restraining Israel's power.
As Shmuel wrote in "Missing Mandate", (July 19, 1985):

WINCHESTER, Va. - "Neena!" is the next exhibition on display in the Shenandoah Arts Council's gallery featuring the work of Neena Jhaveri of Winchester, Va. The opening is Sunday, with a reception from 1:30 to 4 p.m.
"Neena works with bright, bold colors and is so accomplished in many different art mediums," said Tracy Marlatt, executive director of the Arts Council. "From pottery, to abstract or still life paintings, to fabric, Neena's unique style is prevalent in each piece of art she creates."
Jhaveri was born in Ahmedabad, India, and fulfilling her father's wishes, she focused her university studies on sciences and the arts.

"Neena!" is the next exhibition on display in the Shenandoah Arts Council's gallery, featuring the work of Neena Jhaveri of Winchester, Va. The opening is Sunday with a reception from 1:30 to 4 p.m.
Her passion has always been the arts, spirituality and nature but she learned long ago that science, the arts, and religion can co-exist harmoniously.
The realization of each of Neena's mixed media paintings as been rooted in her dreams: artistic figures, nature and aquatic scenes with vibrant colors have always been in the forefront of her compositions. A pattern has emerged with the common peaceful nature theme and brilliant colors that makes her style easily recognizable.
Not just on canvas, she produces her unique work on limited edition silk scarves and cotton products. Her pottery gets inspiration from her garden, where her passion for natural beauty can be found - immortalized - in her bowls, platters and other creations by using the plants and herbs she has grown.
"Neena!" opens Sunday and will run through Dec. 31. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m. and by special appointment. School groups are welcome.
For more information, visit the Shenandoah Arts Council's website, www.shenarts.org; call, 540-667-5166; or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Shenandoah Arts Council is a nonprofit arts organization serving the diverse communities of Winchester, Frederick and Clarke counties, and other areas of the Shenandoah Valley by cultivating the visual, performing and literary arts through promotion, instruction and exhibition.

Impressions of Interiors: Gilded Age Paintings by Walter GayAmerican artist Walter Gay (1856–1937) specialized in painting views of opulent residential interiors in late-19th and early-20th-century America and Europe. John Singer Sargent, Gay's contemporary, is well known for painting the sumptuous clothing and jewels of American society in his fashionable portraits.

Verdi's RigolettoThe court jester Rigoletto (Mark Delavan) loves his daughter Gilda (Lyubov Petrova) nearly as much as he hates the Duke of Mantua (Michael W. Lee). The Duke steals Gilda's honor, and the jester must continue to joke, even as he plans revenge. Rigoletto sometimes takes a joke too far for the comfort of his audience. But, this being opera, Rigoletto is met not by boos, but by a curse, when one of his jokes gets a little too personal.

Broadway parking change
April 26, 2013
SALEM — City Service/Safety Director Ken Kenst announced parking spaces will now be diagonal on the east side of South Broadway from Pershing down past Columbia....
A brilliant solution! And since there is so much sarcasm on this site, let me be clear that I am serious. Ken does a great job. He was so smart to recognize that making the parking parallel was a solution that was no longer needed, and he took the initiative and took action to change the situation. Twelve new parking spaces is a real benefit to the City. I hope more people at City Hall are thinking like this and looking for more high-benefit low-cost ideas. When they find them, I hope they will learn from Ken's example and take action to initiate change. Thank you, Ken!

An old man, going along a highway,
Came, at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned, when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near,
"You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way;
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide –
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?"
Page 2 of 2 - The builder lifted his old gray head:
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm, that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."
I read this poem and thought, "The wise old man is the government official, statesman, or county board member who pays off debt so that it may not be a pitfall for future generations." I hope that the officials of my nation, state, county will see and take note of the wisdom, honor, responsibility and vision that the old man in this poem had.

text: The Vine Street house in East Liverpool where a father and his three sons died in March was demolished Wednesday under order of the city planning department. An investigation by police and fire officials showed that Ulrick Estimot, 37, killed his sons and himself by arson. Two of the boys' mother, Angela Latshaw, is now owner of the house, and her father had said previously the insurance company was balking at paying the claim, which planning Director Bill Cowan confirmed Wednesday, saying since Estimot was co-owner, and died as a result of suicide, the insurance carrier would not pay for demolition. Regardless, Cowan said Latshaw was told the house had to come down. X-treme Demolition was doing the work at the owner's expense, he said. (Photo by Jo Ann Bobby-Gilbert)

Players boo Mayor over Brawl call
Outlaws fold their hockey team
May 2, 2013
Barring a miracle, the Backyard Brawl on May 11 will be held at Williamsport's Logue Field and not Bowman Field....
A couple things:
1. LOL at Aaron Weber. Really kid? Your tragic experience of never sharing the same feeling as your peers for playing at Bowman Field will haunt you forever? Get a grip on reality son. Disappointment is a part of life. You sound like a spoiled snot who usually gets his way. Making it sound like the end of the world is pretty embarrassing for yourself.
#2. Bowman Field is a complete and total dump. I stopped attending games years ago and I live 4 blocks from the field. A total teardown + reconstruction needs to be done because it is one of the ugliest, most antiquated parks in the entire country. Attend one game at Medlar Field in State College and you'll be ashamed to step foot in Bowman again.
#3 Yeah the Mayor rolled the dice and struck out with the Hockey. Stuff happens. I loved finally having a place to ice skate around here and the games were fun before they got too cold to sit through. Still not the dumbest thing a sitting mayor has tried her

Come on, people - can't blame the Mayor for this one. I for one, think our Mayor and City Hall , have the City's best interests in mind, especially when it comes to our kids. It's an often thankless job, and as the saying goes: "If you're not making hard decisions, you're probably not doing your job."
You're doing a great job, Mr. Mayor, and thank you for your service to our Community.

Regardless of sport preference, how much money did bringing the Outlaws to Williamsport ultimately cost the city? If there was a hockey interest in the city, it may have been a better idea to use another facility instead of an outdoor one. Professional teams only play outdoors once a year, if at all. Why butcher a facility at the cost of an experiment? Hopefully the field is at least ready for the District 4 playoffs...it would be a shame if it weren't...

Please put a sock in it keep you narrow view comments to yourself. Or get your most likely fat baseball loving self out there and pick up a shovel and rake. By the way Hockey is 1000x's more interesting than baseball just so happens the situation did not work out and that's the end of it.
