Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake shared a leisurely lunch at the Bristol Lounge at the Four Seasons in Boston on Saturday.
The Playing for Keeps actress is no stranger to the area, because she attended Tufts University just outside the city. "They were joined by what looked like her parents," an onlooker tells PEOPLE about the weekend visit.
Timberlake, in town to perform at Fenway Park on Saturday and Sunday night as part of his "Legends of the Summer" tour with Jay Z, wore a fedora-type hat as he dined.
A day earlier, Biel was spotted having dinner at French restaurant Mistral in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood.
Dressed in a chic leather jacket, jeans and brown wedge sandals, the actress went makeup-free as she strolled Columbus Avenue with a female friend.
So good to be in Boston again with my girls from Tufts. Fenway is the coolest. Boston strong!— Jessica Biel (@JessicaBiel) August 11, 2013

It's not the most glamorous facet of college basketball. It doesn't bring fans out of their seats or get reviewed on instant replay. But free throws can play a significant role in the game's outcome, and the Stetson women's basketball team has benefited from strong free throw shooting all season long.
The Hatters (4-3) will bring a .761 free throw percentage into their 7 p.m. Saturday night game at Charlotte (5-2). That mark currently leads the Atlantic Sun Conference and ranks Stetson 16th nationally.
"We work on it every day and we get a lot of reps in, I think that's a big part of it," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "They have a routine and their concentration is good. Overall we are a pretty good free throw shooting team and we have been the last couple of years."
In 2010-11 the Hatters broke the school single-season record with a .725 free throw percentage, and then Stetson surpassed that mark with a .754 percentage last year. This year's team is already ahead of that pace.
Senior Shanasa Sanders is one of five Hatters currently shooting over 80% from the free throw line. She has hit 15 of her 17 attempts on the season, good for a conference-best .882 percentage. Although junior Sasha Sims technically has a higher free throw percentage than Sanders at .917, Sims currently is shy of the "two free throws per game" minimum required to be ranked among the conference leaders.
"First thing I do is catch my breath," Sims said of her approach at the free throw line. "I think that helps a lot. You have 10 seconds to get yourself together. I don't have a routine, per se, it's more of a mental thing."
Sims says the pressure free throw shooting drills the team works on in practice may be a factor in the in-game success.
"It's a one-and-one situation where if you miss the first shot, you have to run two down-and-backs in 22 seconds," Sims said. "If you miss the second, you have to run one down-and-back in 11 seconds. If you make them both, you don't have to run at all. Our team doesn't necessarily like to run, so pressure free throws helps us make them in the game."
One aspect of the team's free throw performance that Bria would like to see some improvement on is getting to the line more frequently. While Stetson has shot 88 free throws on the season, Hatter opponents have taken 148 free throws, a difference of 60 through just the first seven games of the season.
"We to try to get in the paint as much as we can," Bria said. "So far our opponents have done a good job of taking away the paint, and therefore we have been shooting more outside shots. But I do think we can be more aggressive and attack the basket a little bit more and get fouled. Sometimes we settle for the jumper, like in the first half in the Lynn game we settled for too many outside shots."
Fans can listen to Saturday's game for free on HatterVision. Bill Topping will have the call. Live Stats, the @StetsonWBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates. Charlotte will be providing a video broadcast on a premium pay-per-view basis.

So, I was excited to discover Jennifer Katzinger's Gluten-Free and Vegan Bread. I ordered it right away. Katzinger's basic baking theory is gluten-free bread does not need to rise like its glutinous counterpart. Instead, these loaves rely on oven-rise to give them some spring and a lighter crumb. I decided to make a loaf for an NDP dinner party for which I was providing a variety of baked goods. This country batard seemed like it would be a crowd pleaser. Here is the recipe, taken from the preview on Amazon.
- 15 mins at 400.
- 15 mins at 350. Rotate loaf in the oven then
- 15 mins at 350.
- Ground the chia seeds.
- Used warm water for the yeast--I could not get it to activate in room temp water.
- Added the oil after the yeast had activated.

Objectives | Program Requirements
| Academic Minor | Teaching
Minor | Additional Academic Requirements and Procedures
for the Spanish and French Programs | Examinations
| Course
The French Program offers a minor in French. This program is designed
to help students deepen their sensitivity of language in its everyday
and artistic forms and to understand cultures other than their own.
Entering students wishing to continue with a foreign language studied
elsewhere are assigned to appropriate courses on an as-needed basis through
placement tests and interviews (by appointment with Language Faculty).
Students who have completed one or two years of high school language study
are usually eligible for FREN 111. Students who have completed three or
more years of high school level language are specifically excluded from
FREN 110 and FREN 111. Therefore, faculty may initially place an incoming
student in a 200-level course, if prior study reached an intermediate
level. Placement does not reduce, however, the total number of hours needed
for major or minor requirements in foreign language.
A maximum of 12 external hours (transfer, CLEP, Prior Learning, Challenge
test, or other external language exams) may be applied toward the minor
(see below under "Additional Requirements and Procedures").
French 110 is not counted toward the minor.
Requirement Description
Credit Hours
Required Courses
FREN 111 French II
FREN 220 French III
FREN 221 French IV
Additional 300- or 400-level courses
*Students wishing to minor in French are advised that, due to the size
and staffing of the Language Department, many language courses have only
one section in a given semester. Night students wishing to minor in French
are asked to note that most of the language classes are not offered in
the evenings and must be taken as day classes. For further information
and advising please see the chair of the Language Department or French
FREN 111 French II
FREN 220 French III
FREN 221 French IV
FREN 356 Methods of Teaching Modern Languages
Note: Please consult your individual academic major listings in this
catalog for any language requirement under their governance.
Native Fluency--Students demonstrating native fluency in a language other
than English may request and receive upon proper documentation a waiver
for the foreign language requirement for the major (see Language Department,
START Center, or Registrar's Office for proper procedure). No credit,
however, is awarded for this waiver.
Transfer Credit--Only a maximum of 12 credit hours may be transferred
toward the Spanish or French minor. Transfer credit may apply toward the
16 hours foreign language required for the International Business degree.
Transfer hours beyond the 12-hour minor limit may apply toward total hours
for graduation (see the Registrar's Office for details).
Japanese--First-year Japanese courses are offered at Westminster (see
"Japanese" heading in this Catalog for more information). There
is no minor in Japanese.
Latin--First-year Latin courses are offered at Westminster (see "Latin"
heading in this Catalog for more information). There is no minor in Latin.
Other Languages--There is no academic program offered in any foreign
language other than the minor in French and Spanish. Students wishing
to obtain college credit in any other foreign language through transfer,
exam, and/or prior learning credit, should consult with Language faculty
or the Registrar's Office for evaluation of such credit as "general"
hours toward graduation.
Challenge Examination--Students who have an advanced academic ability
in a subject matter may "challenge" a course for credit. (See
Catalog listing and/or Language faculty for details.)
Prior Learning Credit--Up to 12 credit hours obtained through successful
completion of the Prior Learning Seminar/Workshop may be applied toward
a minor degree in French/Spanish (see Catalog listing or Program Director
for more information).
Other Language Waivers/Credit--Advanced Placement (AP) credit: a score
of 3 or higher on the French or Spanish AP exam merits credit as follows:

- Species distribution modeling of rare plants in response to global climate change
- Phylogenetics, systematics, and taxonomy of Eschscholzia
- Growing Meconopsis for horticultural display
My research interests generally involve rare plants and taxonomy. My current work examines the impact of global climate change on the species distribution of rare plants in the western United States. With this work, we are examining the current distributions of rare plants and then making projections as to how these distributions will change between now and the year 2080. I enjoy this work as it incorporates both theoretical and applied approaches to conservation and rare plant biology. I also have an interest in phylogenetics and taxonomy, and I am currently working on a revision of the genus Eschscholzia, or California poppy.
Here are a few articles that explain my research:
In the Chicago Botanic Garden's member magazine, Keep Growing, I was profiled in this article: Garden Scientist Maps Future of Rare Southwestern Cactus.
I have blogged about some of the rare plant research, including this blog about the Siler pincushion cactus (Pediocactus sileri). Also, I blogged in these rare plant portraits of the silverleaf sunray (Enceliopsis argophylla) and dwarf bear-poppy (Arctomecon humilis).

Sooner or later, South Carolina Stingrays goalie Ryan Zapolski was going to give up a goal.
The Stingrays just wish it had come later rather than sooner.
Zapolski had his shutout streak halted midway through the second period and gave up a goal in overtime as Gwinnett defeated the Stingrays, 2-1, on Tuesday before a crowd of 1,762 at the North Charleston Coliseum.
The Stingrays still got a much-needed point out of the loss and are 30-24-6 (66 points) with 12 games left in the regular season. The Gladiators improved to 34-23-5 (71 points) and remained in first place in the ECHL's South Division.
Zapolski, who had three consecutive shutouts coming into Tuesday night's matchup, extended his shutout streak to 212 minutes, but had it end when Gladiators rookie forward Evan Bloodoff scored over the shoulder of Zapolski midway through the second period.
Zapolski's streak of 212 shutout minutes is second in franchise history, trailing only Shane Connelly, whose shutout streak lasted for 220 minutes during the 2009-10 season.
It was a disappointing performance for the Stingrays, who faced a Gladiator team that was playing with just 13 skaters, three less than the norm.
Afterward, South Carolina coach Spencer Carbery was upset over his team's lack of effort, despite the fact that this was the fourth game in five days for the Stingrays.
"That was about as embarrassing a performance as I've seen in this building and that's going back a few years," Carbery said. "It's really frustrating, given what's on the line and where some of our players are at in our locker room. There was no desperation. I can understand some of guys might not have had their legs tonight, but that's no excuse for not battling, for not competing out there tonight."
The Stingrays were coming off a hugely successful weekend, taking two of three games from Greenville.
But the momentum the Stingrays created over the weekend was no where to be found Tuesday night, according to Carbery.
"We were outworked, we were out-competed, we got beat to loose pucks and we lost every battle in all three zones," Carbery said. "They basically had two lines and we got completely dominated in every aspect of the game and that's extremely disappointing at this point in the season."
The Stingrays grabbed a 1-0 lead five minutes into the first period when Ryan Hayes beat Gwinnett goalie Jody O'Neill for the score.
Bloodoff tied the game at the 8:15 mark of the second period.
Yuri Bouharevich redirected Ryan Doanld's shot from the point to give the Gladiators the victory.
"We got a point, that's about the only thing to come out of this game," Carbery said.
Gwinnett 0 1 0 1—2
Stingrays 1 0 0 0—1
First Period: 1. SC, Hayes 9 (Sackrison, Kuqali), 5:31. Penalties-Brodie SC (delay of game), 12:43.
Second Period: 2. G, Bloodoff 17 (Donald), 8:15. Penalties: MacLeod, SC (high-sticking), 12:34; Brandt, G (high-sticking), 15:53.
Third Period: No goals. Penalties: MacLeod, SC (holding), 4:51; Bouharevich, G (interference), 13:31; Fienhage, G (cross-checking), 15:22.

Now that the peas have given their all, it is time to rip out the straggly plants and get the space filled with another crop. And so we go into succession planting, replacing one crop with another.
Some plants, such as tomatoes, have a long growing season and need to stay in place all summer to allow time for ripening. Others need early planting and will be harvested early in the season and provide room for later crops.
Planning can almost double the number of vegetables a gardener who has limited space can produce.
Some early producers such as peas, spinach, lettuce, radishes and turnips will not do well in summer's heat but, with careful planning, you can find a space for them late in the season and bring in another crop before the first frost.
Some of your space probably is dedicated to perennials such as raspberries, asparagus, horseradish, rhubarb and chives, but the rest of the garden is fair game.
For a second crop, consider beans (both bush and pole varieties), cucumbers, peppers, squash, sweet corn and tomatoes. With plenty of water to help them through the heat, they will do well. As these are harvested late in the summer, plant the cool season crops again.
Fact Box
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program. Contact her at email@example.com.
You also can use this technique in the flower garden, replacing pansies, primroses and the like with the petunias, portulacas and zinnias that love the heat.
Another benefit of succession planting is to plant the same crop successively. Planting bush beans every two weeks through the summer will ensure a harvest from late June until October if the weather cooperates. Cabbage will work here, too, and instead of a surplus of that crop all at one time, you can harvest all summer.
Tomatoes, eggplant, Brussels sprouts and peppers will not respond to this technique because they produce their fruits over a long time on the same plants.
It is possible to grow two crops in the same place at the same time with some consideration. This inter-cropping, or companion planting, means growing fast-growing crops along with slower-growing ones.
Beets, spinach, radishes or lettuce could be planted in the same rows as broccoli, tomatoes and cabbage. The early-maturing ones will be finished by the time the tomatoes and broccoli have grown to full size and need a greater share of water and nutrients. You have to remove the finished plants with care when their time is over to minimize disturbance of the roots that remain.
I am a great believer in concentrated planting, where vegetables are spaced much closer that recommended.
My corn, Gotta Have It, recommends on the packet to thin the seedlings to 12 inches apart. When I drive by fields of corn, they appear to be spaced about every 6 inches, and I don't know why sweet corn should be different. (Don't tell me if you know.) So that is what I did last year, and I had a huge harvest.
I rotate corn, green beans and peppers in my biggest three plots. This year, the corn has the place with the shortest time of full sun, but so far it looks wonderful.
We all need to make the best possible use of our land, and succession planting is a sure way to do that.

Based on the rhetoric, the players want the fans to blame the owners as much as the owners want the fans to blame the players. I don't listen to the rhetoric.
The players are being generous helping the owners pay for contracts they offered but couldn't afford to. The owners that are doing well can more than afford to contribute. After all they are the ones who hired Bettman and went along with his schemes to grow the league.
But it's great that you won't be attending any games and don't buy any NHL merchandise.
Bettman and the NHL want the fans to blame the players for all this and for the customers to hate the product and I hope it works. I hope there will be major revenue decline and I think that will lead to finally getting that pariah out of our sport.
You're right there must be something in the genetics that makes somebody a great hockey player that also makes him stupider and greedier than other athletes forcing Bettman to lock them (and us) out every time the CBA expires. Why should we idolize and watch those stupid, greedy @#$% or let our children watch them?
That is why has hockey has lost more games due to labour disputes than all other major sports leagues combined.
I will say this much, hockey has lost more games due to labor disputes because of both the NHL and NHLPA. Remember, during the last lockout when the players were making over 70% of the total revenues, the league was justified in locking them out. Many were on the owners side then. Were the players at fault for not giving up enough back then? I feel that a deal could have been reached if both sides actually cared about the sport and the fans. Instead, greed ruled above everything else.
This year is no different from any other lockout year in the NHL. There is great distrust between the sides. Both sides want everything and then some. This isn't the fault of one side or the other in specific, but both sides. I have given up trying to tell people here this because of the bias here on these forums toward the players union. When I look back on all the strikes/lockouts of the last 20 years in the NHL though, its hard to not see that both sides are just not able to handle treating the other side with respect and negotiate in good faith. It was going on back during the players strike and all the way up until today.
This next deal will not be the end of these lockouts. You can count on one at the expiration of the next CBA, probably a players strike this time, and you will see lost games. Unlike other leagues, the NFL knows to keep the money train going. The NBA has its share of issues but they worked out a deal with minimal lost games. The NHL still hasn't learned the basics of labor harmony.

NIAGARA FALLS – The caretaker of a house in the 600 block of 81st Street told police Wednesday that someone forced their way into a basement overnight and made off with $3,000 worth of copper pipe.
The caretaker said a rear basement window was forced and several feet of pipe was cut, then removed.
A possible witness told police he was awakened by a noise between 4 and 5 a.m. and saw a black Ford Explorer pulling out of the driveway. The loss was estimated at $3,300.

BOSTON — The Republican Party launched its latest effort Thursday to sell itself to a more diverse segment of the population, acknowledging a glaring weakness in the GOP's ability to attract new voters in a country whose demographics are rapidly changing.
Some prominent Republicans expressed immediate skepticism at the party's plans to shine a spotlight on its younger, minority up-and-comers. But Republican leaders say they can help broaden the party's appeal by changing the faces of the GOP's primary messengers. At stake is the Republican Party's ability to compete against Democrats in elections for years to come.
"We have this stereotype of Republicans being old, white, Anglo-Saxon men. But there's people like me that have been out there working for years," said 30-year-old New Hampshire state Rep. Marilinda Garcia, one of four people featured in a "Rising Stars" panel at the RNC's summer meeting in Boston. "So they're like, 'Why not have her talk about our values instead of Newt Gingrich all the time?"'
RNC spokesmen have been instructed to promote Republicans like Garcia in media interviews, while other staffers have been hired to live and work in minority communities to pitch Republican values. GOP leaders say it's an unprecedented effort.
Doubts by some leading Republicans underscored the continuing identity crisis for a party still struggling to regroup after a painful 2012 election season.
"This is a baby step," said former RNC Chairman Michael Steele, an African-American. "We're talking 50-plus years of separation between African-Americans and the GOP that has only become progressively worse over the last 10 or so years. ... This stuff will not get done overnight."
"At this point, like many Hispanic conservatives, I have to see it to believe it," said Alfonso Aguilar, executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles and a part of the George W. Bush administration. "I'm familiar with RNC efforts toward the Hispanic community that go back a long time."
Indeed, the GOP's latest push to court minority voters follows similar efforts by Republican leaders dating back at least to the 1980s, when the GOP under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush repeatedly declared black and Hispanic outreach a priority. Some Republicans suggest that things won't change in earnest until the party embraces different policies and abandon's anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Steele cited efforts by Republican legislatures to disenfranchise minority voters by passing strict voter identification laws, while Aguilar and others cited consistent resistance among House Republicans to a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
"You can't just deliver any message," Frank Fahrenkopf, an RNC chairman from 1983 to 1989, said of party policies. "You've got to deliver the right one."
Despite decades of effort, the Republican Party took a step backward in last year's presidential contest among women and minorities. Women voted for President Barack Obama by an 11-point margin in 2012, and they have not backed a GOP candidate for president since Reagan's successful bid for re-election in 1984.
Although last year's nominee, Mitt Romney, improved on John McCain's margin of victory among whites in 2008, Romney fared worse than McCain among Hispanic and Asian voters, who make up a growing share of the U.S. population.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus says the committee has already hired more than 150 staffers across the country to help court new voters.
"What's different this time is you can look at the numbers," he said. "We're doing things that have never been done before in our party."
The newest piece is the RNC's "Rising Stars" program, which debuted with four members:
—Garcia, first elected to the New Hampshire legislature at 23.
—Karin Agness, founder and president of the Network of enlightened Women, or NeW.
—Scott G. Erickson, a San Jose, Calif., police officer for 15 years and a conservative writer.
—T.W. Shannon, an African-American and speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
Four more rising stars were to be added when the committee meets again in four months. The RNC also has created an online database that allows staffers to quickly find fresh faces for media interviews.
Preibus suggested that new faces will matter and downplayed the need for his party to embrace new policies, such as comprehensive immigration reform.
"I'm not disagreeing that it's not an extremely important issue," he said of immigration reform, "It's not the end all, be all, either."
The comments come nine months after he endorsed an RNC report that said otherwise.
"We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform," the internal report found. "If we do not, our party's appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only."
AP Director of Polling Jennifer Agiesta contributed to this report.

LEWISTOWN - When Megan Maclay isn't busy volunteering at church, swimming in the Special Olympics, dancing at Taz Fitness or working at SKILLS, she likes to pick up a camera and take pictures. The fact that she was born with Down's Syndrome has never slowed her down.
"I like to stay busy," Megan said. "I have a job and I'm independent."
Recently, one of Megan's photos was chosen as a feature piece in the Works for Me Employment Resources and Work Incentives 2013 calendar. Her photo, "Garden Pleasures," represents the month of July.

Sentinel photo by BUFFIE BOYER
Megan Maclay's photograph is featured in the 2013 Works For Me Employment Resources and Work Incentives calendar for the month of July.
"I have been taking pictures for a long time," Megan said. "I love flowers and the picture turned out very nice. It makes me very happy that they picked my picture."
Megan's photo captures the image of a vintage bike, resting against the wooden fence of a garden. The bike's travel basket holds a collection of purple and yellow flowers as the sun shines on the ground.
Dawn Wray, a community specialist through Supportive Concepts, had encouraged Megan to submit work for the contest. This was a great chance for Megan to showcase her artistic talents, she added.
"Megan is always game to try something new," Wray said. "She ended up submitting two photos and a watercolor. I just had a gut feeling she would be a finalist."
Megan's photo, and 11 others, were chosen out of 370 submissions, said Diane Cashman, program director of Works for Me, an organization that assists people living with disabilities to find a job. This is the second year the organization has held the calendar contest, she added.
"The calendar project is such a neat idea for people with disabilities to showcase their talents," Cashman said. "It's such a heartwarming project and the artwork is just amazing."
Works for Me wanted to make sure the artists received recognition for their work, Cashman said. So each of the finalists were invited to stay the night at Hershey Lodge and attend an awards ceremony.
Megan stayed at the hotel and went to the ceremony with her brother, she said. Going as a family was important to her, she added.
"They had a dinner to honor us and we got certificates," Megan said. "It was very exciting."
Each of the finalists also received 25 copies of the calendar to give to family and friends, Cashman said. Works for Me then distributed more than 40,000 copies to organizations, agencies and schools across Pennsylvania.
"The main purpose of the calendar is for outreach and education, promoting employment for people with disabilities," Cashman said. "Each page of the calendar includes important information and resources for those who work with people living with a disability."
It's especially important that the calendars be used by guidance counselors in schools to teach students with disabilities that they can pursue employment or higher education after high school, Cashman said.
All of the Works for Me services are provided at no cost, Cashman said. People living with a disability can use the organization's resources to access agencies and programs that help with finding a job, obtaining job training, keeping health insurance, getting assistive technology, finding support and possibly increasing monthly income.
For more information on the Works for Me program, visit www.worksforme-pa.org. To order a free calendar, contact Diane Cashman at 783-5755 or through email at email@example.com.

The fat lady's warming up - and there's a lot more room in her choir robe than there used to be.
It's payoff week for the 11th annual Tribune Chronicle / St. Joseph-St. Elizabeth Health Centers Fitness Challenge, and plenty of teams are kicking up the exercise to sweat off those final few pounds.
Or possibly, they're eating cheesecake.
Article Photos
Godney and Makridis give the thumbs up to what they really eat: a large salad at the Mocha House.
''Any team that comes to the Mocha House for an entree gets a free slice of cake, as well as the 20 percent off an entire cheesecake,'' John Woods, captain of the Mocha House Health Solutions team, said by way of helpful reminder to all rivals.
The Mocha House team slimmed from fifth to fourth place this week in the community weight loss competition to benefit local charities. It was another Team of the Week performance for the gang of five who live in the land of baked goods.
''Since we are sponsored by the Mocha House and Premier Health Solutions and are directly across the street from each other, where we eat has not changed - the Mocha House - but what we eat is low-fat, low-junk carbs - read 'sugar' - and lots of fruits and vegetables,'' Woods said. ''A couple have sworn off the starches, a couple have not, and we are all being successful.''
This week, that added up to another 22 1/4 pounds lost for the team and a one-week showing of 2.1 percent of starting weight lost, and a total 12.7 percent of starting weight lost.
''(Teammate) Bill Axiotis is closing in on 50 pounds lost and I expect him to get there next week,'' Woods said. ''He has done it thorough changing what he eats and a big increase in activity, mainly racquetball and with this summer in March, tennis.
''Earl Godney, because of health restrictions, has lost 25 pounds through diet alone (and not strenuous exercise). He has always walked a lot so, that has not changed, but he, too, changed what he eats and the weight consistently has dropped off from the beginning, proving that you can have a positive impact on your health just by what you eat.
''Bill Axiotis, Nick Liakaris and I have agreed to get to the weight we were when we got married, so we have a ways to go,'' he said. ''The Mocha House is going to start another competition among their employees right after this one ends. We are going to pick teams and continue.''
Main course
The top three teams remain the same, though the gap is closer: Believers' Bulge Busters kept first place with 15.8 percent of their starting weight lost; Just Weight, remained in second at 14.1 percent; and the Wellness Warriors are still in third, 13.9 percent.
Moving up from sixth place into fifth behind the Mocha House team are Weigh Out of Control at 11.6 percent.
If the Bulge Busters keep the lead one more week, they will will become the first back-to-back champions and the first team to lead the Challenge from wire to wire. The team has a comfortable lead of 1.7 percent. Last week, the lead was an ever-more-spacious 2.2 percent.
''I guess the advantage goes to us, but we can't sit back and take it easy - although I'd like to,'' Buster Bruce Buckler said.
Stephanie Iacozili, captain of second-place Just Weight, said despite the mathematical odds, her team still is aiming for first.
''There's time. We're exercising hard and giving it all we got,'' Iacozili said. ''We're exercising diligently and and doing what we've been doing.''
The team follows a nutrition plan and puts in a lot of sweat equity, especially on the spinning machines at the Warren YMCA, she said.
''This has been a blast. It's been a lot of work and very rewarding,'' she said.
As previously stated, Mocha House Health Solutions collected the $10 Team of the Week bonus for the best performance over the last seven days at 2.1 percent. It's the third time they've done so in the last four weeks.
The Mocha House team may have gained more ground if the other teams at the top had been goofing off. The other Team of the Week contenders this week were Just Weight, 1.9 percent; the Wellness Warriors, 1.8 percent; and the Bulge Busters, 1.4 percent.
Previous Team of the Week winners were Believers' Bulge Busters, Week 1, at 4.9 percent; the Farm Team, Week 2, nearly 2.3 percent; Weigh Out of Control, Week 3, 2.1 percent; Bankers Beauties and the Wellness Warriors, Week 4, 1.6 percent; Believers' Bulge Busters and Just Weight, Week 5, 1.76 percent; Mocha House Health Solutions, Week 6, 1.7 percent; Mocha House Health Solutions, Week 7, 1.7 percent; and Just Weight, Week 8, 2 percent.
Tips and tasty tidbits
Since Fitness Challengers should have built a decent exercise foundation by now, Ryan Foertch, manager of the Humility of Mary Health Partners Competitive Edge Sports Medicine, returns this week to talk about how to kick it up a gear.
''I would work on increasing either frequency, intensity or time of the workouts,'' Foertch said. ''But only do one of these at a time. As the exercises get easier, you can change one of these, and work toward a more intermediate workout.''
As noted last week, at the beginner stage, a person should shoot for 30 minutes at 60 to 70 percent of target heart rate. In the intermediate stage, that increases to workouts of 45 to 60 minutes at 75 to 80 percent of target heart rate.
Down the road, a healthy person will work up to 90 minutes of workout, at more than 80 to 90 percent of target heart rate.
The American Heart Association says that generally, the target heart rate zone of a 20-year-old is 100 to 170 beats a minute; 30 years, 95 to 162 beats a minute; 40 years, 90 to 153 beats a minute; and 50 years, 85 to 145 beats a minute.
Foertch returns next week with thoughts on advanced workouts and how to reduce the risk of injury.
Fat facts
The Ladies of Justice won the first Fitness Challenge in 2002 with 8.4 percent of their starting weight lost. There were eight teams in the Challenge. So far this year, 15 of the 66 teams topped 8.4 percent.
Sixteen teams gained weight, and eight didn't weigh in this week.
Overall, Fitness Challenge competitors combined for 194 1/4 pounds lost this week, 4,236 overall, and 6.2 percent of starting weight lost.
Groups we'd like to take to dinner
Three teams this year are playing for the Warren Family Mission, the Fatagains, Inches Away and the MDC Calorie Counters.
Counters captain Lisa Blair said, ''We want to get in shape and help raise money for the Warren Family Mission. We support the mission at Christmas and for Make A Difference Day with food and toy collections in our office.''
According to its website, every month, the Family Mission at its sites serve 6,000 meals; distributes 500 to 700 food boxes; gives clothing to more than 700 people; provides 1,000 nights of shelter, 3,000 hours of rehabilitation, education and work training, and 1,500 hours of prayer and counseling; and gives out large quantities of furniture and household items.
Smacking of the lips
Remember the cheesecake offer from the Mocha House team? Captain Woods says his team members might partake, but within reason.
''Our goal is to never have the need to enter this competition again. We want one and done and not be like Vince Peterson and the courthouse teams that are perennial contestants,'' Woods said.
In a tip to justice, we now shall allow the courthouse teams a week to file a brief for the defense.

When sensitive information regards White House involvement in killing alleged terrorists overseas, President Barack Obama seems to have little concern about it being made public.
In fact, it has been suggested that to boost the president's image as a decisive leader, information about the CIA assassination program may have been leaked by one of Obama's aides.
But when the question is about the Justice Department's botched "Fast and Furious" program providing guns to narco-terrorists, the White House clamps a lid on information.
Members of the House of Representatives are investigating the program, through which the Justice Department actually facilitated some gun smuggling.
Some of the weapons involved might have been used to murder U.S. border agent Brian Terry.
Through a monthslong probe of "Fast and Furious," Attorney General Eric Holder has been less than forthcoming. Recently, the situation hit rock-bottom. Holder refused to comply with a House demand for additional documents. Then the White House said it was asserting a claim of "executive privilege" to withhold the information.
Again, in view of security leaks the White House seems to tolerate - perhaps even aid - that sounds strange. As some in the House have noted, it makes one wonder what Obama is trying to hide.
Lawmakers, using a contempt of Congress vote if necessary, should insist the documents be provided.

As disgruntled members of the NFL Players' Association continue to squabble and pout over billions worth of revenue with the equally-childish league owners, we—the fans—remain undeterred.
No doubt it's discouraging that stubbornness may wipe out an entire fall of NFL games, but the upcoming draft should provide some relief, however temporary.
So, it is with excitement and anticipation that we leave the crybabies to settle their petty differences in the courtroom and look forward to what may happen April 28-30 at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
Today, we take a look at the NFC side of things.

Over the past two years, the Nation of Islam (NOI) has engaged in a wide-ranging campaign to demonize Jews. Not only have the speeches delivered by Louis Farrakhan been among the most hateful of his 30-year career as head of the NOI, but the organization's media arm has also reinforced these messages through a range of propaganda.
The NOI's 2011 Saviours' Day convention in Rosemont, Illinois, proved to be a continuation of this campaign. Louis Farrakhan's keynote address, titled "I Will Send Saviours After Them," featured many of the anti-Semitic themes that have defined the organization's latest efforts, including anti-Semitic charges of deicide and accusations of Jewish control.
In addition, a plenary session devoted to "The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews" sought to demonstrate disproportionate Jewish involvement in the slave trade and Jewish exploitation of Blacks ever since. The session featured charges of Jewish control of the media and calls for the inclusion of the NOI's anti-Semitic book by the same name, The Secret Relationship Between Blacks & Jews Volume 2, in educational curricula nationwide. A promotional graphic released in advance of the session featured a Jewish star over an illustration of a Black family being auctioned off during the slavery era.

Last Man Standing Star Nancy Travis Loves Her Misbehaved Dogs
"I have the least trained dogs," the Last Man Standing star tells PEOPLE. "Though I will say, they are the nicest dogs."
Travis, 51, lives with her two rescues, 6-year-old golden retriever mix Amy and 7-year-old mutt Crystal, husband and two sons in the Los Angeles area, and that's the order of her family hierarchy.
"The animals rule the roost here," the actress explains. "My husband says I sometimes seem to care about my animals more than anybody else – which isn't true! But I do care a great deal."
Amy ("the Christie Brinkley of dogs") and Crystal ("the worrier") get away with jumping on people and sleeping on the bed, but that's the way Travis's family likes the "big lovefest."
The one thing Amy and Crystal don't do is go to the set of Travis's ABC comedy, in which she costars with Tim Allen and a couple of four-legged actors named Teddy and Freddy, who play dog Muffin on the show.
"Talk about a difference in training," Travis says, laughing. "Those dogs are trained to sit still despite distraction."

In two peer reviewed articles published by BMC Genomics, DNASTAR's SeqMan NGen software was independently evaluated against other top products, including commercial software, open source software, and software provided by next-gen sequencing platform companies. Both studies compared SeqMan NGen with other products in performing a de novo transcriptome assembly – one study used 454 data; the other study used Illumina data. Both studies came to the same conclusion – DNASTAR SeqMan NGen is the best software for performing de novo transcriptome assemblies.

They are gatherers and worker bees. Must make piles of things. Collections, best left where you like to walk.
We cleared out our dining room of all its books and random stuff that wandered and sat there to make room for our new table and chairs, due any day now. I thought if we prepared its place it would come to us sooner. I wait patiently. The children have filled it with all the pillows off their beds.
Growing up, we had one place to eat dinner in our house. The kitchen table. And maybe on special or home-from-school-sick occasion, a real TV tray in the living room. Here we have the kitchen bar, breakfast nook, and dining room. I don't know where I'm going with this, but I was just thinking about our new home and how perfect I want to make each room and am trying to remember to adjust my focus to make each space live-able. And for all these places we have to sit down and eat we better be having people over. An empty house just can not be.
In the meantime I wait patiently.

LISBON - The race for county sheriff this fall is a rerun pitting Sheriff Ray Stone, this time with more than four years experience in this position under his belt, against Leetonia Police Chief John Soldano, who is running for the office for the fourth time.
During his time in office Stone said he has worked to keep the county and his officers as safe as possible on the limited amount of money he is provided in his budget each year. He has upgraded the patrol car tires to police-grade tires, which are rated for high speed and safer to drive on.
Stone said he also got the grant previously being used by the prosecutor's office for bullet proof vests to buy them for the deputies. He was able to get 21 vests through the program and can still purchase the two the prosecutor's investigators need.
"I bought better vests, and the government paid for half of them," Stone said.
Additionally, Stone traded in the older handguns in the department for $299 each and bought new guns valued at $550. However, he was able to get them for free and replaced every handgun.
Stone said he was able to procure a COPS technology grant for $47,900 to use for new laptops and a service to run the driver's licenses which brings up the driver's photos and warrant information directly into the car. Deputies can even read license plates through a camera reader, checking vehicles for suspended licenses and stolen cars.
He was also able to get MARCS radio for the department in August 2008 and the packs for the trunks of the vehicles to help bounce the signals into some of the areas of the county without service.
Stone also made sure the sheriff's department got the new $7,000 computer every county in Ohio was promised through the attorney general's office, which allows live scanning of fingerprints. Prior to Columbiana County's computer arriving, the nearest was in Trumbull County.
Stone said he upgraded the appraisers, making sure certified appraisers go out with the uncertified appraisers. He also reorganized the civil division, with non-uniformed officers handling sheriff sales. He said he hired a person with banking experience to handle the sheriff sales, which has increased the efficiency of that operation and allowed him to place deputies who had previously been assigned to that division back onto the road to patrol and handle calls.
Additionally, Stone said he revamped video arraignments by having employees at the county jail monitoring the arraignments rather than having a deputy perform the job, which had been the case. He said the move puts those deputies back on road patrols for two and a half more hours per day.
Stone said he has also started charging $5 for transport fees when inmates do have to be taken to municipal court. The fee is paid by the defendant.
"I try to do whatever I can to try to expand my budget without asking the commissioners for the money," Stone said.
Stone has brought about $150,000 into the county in grants, and Soldano credits him for doing so. However, Soldano has plenty of criticism for the sheriff.
Soldano said he believes there is grant money available to put additional deputies on the road or in classrooms in schools like Southern Local, United Local and Beaver Local. However, Stone said those grants usually go to municipalities. Soldano said it still would not keep him from trying. He believes having a school resource officer in the Leetonia Schools was good for dealing with some of the issues at the school.
Soldano also criticizes Stone for retiring and "double dipping." Stone responds if he lost the election he would have been just four months short of receiving his retirement, under changes being made to the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). The years are being increased from 30 to 32. He would have only 31. Stone notes he knows it is not popular, but lists several other county employees who also did a similar retire and rehire.
Stone also said the retirement costs the county nothing. Instead of paying 18.1 percent, the county now only pays 14 percent toward his retirement. However, Stone said he did not do it to save the county 4.1 percent, either.
"I did it to protect my financial future," Stone said.
Soldano also has other criticism of the sheriff, such as the way the department is being handled and the grievances being filed.
"I firmly believe our current sheriff is a good man," Soldano said. "He's a nice man. He's a good man. He's not a good sheriff."
He is quick to point out the morale problem at the sheriff's department, employees who are unhappy with the changes which have been made. Soldano said "it is time to rally the troops and get the men to enjoy their jobs again." He believes a happier department would be more productive.
He believes there is a priority issue with the sheriff's department. While Soldano said there are currently 30 unsolved murders and 100-plus unsolved sex crimes, he claims the sheriff is out running radar when he should be addressing the cases. Instead on a slow day, Soldano said he would be getting the detectives together to start looking back through those files, following up on new information or new leads.
Stone responds that he has a lead suspect on nearly all of the murders in the county. In one case, Stone said the suspect even admitted to it, but implied the case has never been prosecuted. He added a detective to the department during his time in office and said the detectives have been working hard on these cases. For some cases he gave examples of how things may have been mishandled, but those were before his time in the department.
Soldano criticizes the way the 911 center is being handled at the sheriff's department, which also dispatches for several local fire departments and some local police.
"I can't tell you one fire department happy with the way it is being handled," Soldano said.
Of the five 911 centers in the county, Soldano said East Palestine's is the best handled. However, he said there was a case with the county 911 where an outside ambulance company was called for a heart attack victim located right across from the local fire station. Soldano said he believes the complaints by the fire chiefs are legitimate, and the issues need addressed.
"I think it's the way they are being instructed to handle them," Soldano said of the problem, adding he heard the chief deputy said they would call who they want to call.
Additionally, Soldano believes calls from the public regarding burglaries and thefts need to be handled by a deputy who goes out to the location, not over the phone. He said there are cases going unsolved because no one investigates them. At the same time, Soldano said trustees in Knox Township tell him they never see a cruiser.
"We need to do a better job," Soldano said. "Make sure your deputies go out and put the effort forward and try. You're not going to solve them all."
He also points out the sheriff and his department have been running radar in the Salineville area, near the Southern Local Schools and on state Route 11. Soldano said the job could have been handled by the highway patrol. He had a highway patrol cruiser watching the school zone in Leetonia when the school cut busing for students in the village.
"Salineville knows the sheriff is busy," Soldano said. "It's political."
Stone said he was helping out in Salineville when the village's police department quit. There was no one to patrol the streets, and the village wanted a police presence until they could hire a new chief and department.
"I took an oath of office to uphold all the laws," Stone said, "From murder down to speeding tickets. If I see a violation, I'm not turning my head."

A new structure has been added next to the Randolph County Senior Center in Elkins, where the In-Home Care program and its staff will be housed.
The program's new home was installed Friday, when a large crane lifted two halves of a modular building into place. Two times prior, inclement weather prevented crews from setting up the structure.
"We are so excited to see this project moving forward," said Randolph County Senior Center Director Laura Ward. "I watched as they set the building. R.E. Hutton Construction is the contractor, and they have done a fine job. We are tickled with the building."

Ward said finishing work is being completed, and they plan to move in within a month.
"Former director Becky Poe and the Senior Center board of directors worked hard to get this building," Ward said. "It has been a long process, and it is great to see light at the end of the tunnel."
Ward said In-Home Care offers seven programs designed to help people who want an alternative to moving to a long-term care facility. It's also a Medicaid Waiver program.
"Some of the programs offered have homemaker services, mobility support, nutrition and environmental support," Ward said. "We also offer respite care for Alzheimer's patient caregivers when they have errands to run."
The new building will house two registered nurses, a licensed social worker and three administrative staff members. One big feature the building offers is a training room.
"Our homemakers are well-trained before they go into homes," Ward said. "This training space allows us to offer continuing education to our staff to keep up on the trends."
Ward said In-Home Care serves approximately 105 clients in Randolph County.
Additional information about In-Home Care is available by calling 304-636-4747.

Bill Hamilton went through the Sago Mine disaster some seven years ago as both a neighbor and a state lawmaker, and he still cringes when he thinks about the comments of some coal executives that trivialized the deaths of the miners.
"Thank goodness we have more responsible mine operators than we do irresponsible ones," said Hamilton, R-Upshur. "But if you get one irresponsible one, that taints the whole bunch."
Hamilton, along with West Virginia's federal delegation, applauded the new Mine Safety and Health Administration rules that were announced last week in an effort to ensure mine operators monitor and address hazardous problems at their operations so that miners can remain safe on the job.
"I don't agree with all of the things the Obama Administration is doing to the coal industry," Hamilton said. "But this shows our miners matter."
The MSHA rules now allow the federal agency to issue a "Pattern of Violations" notice without first issuing a potential notice. It eliminates the existing requirement that MSHA can consider only final orders in POV matter. It establishes criteria and procedures that MSHA will use to identify mines with a pattern of significant and substantial violations. It also reinforces mine operators' responsibility for compliance with safety and health standards and for monitoring compliance.
"This final rule represents one of MSHA's highest priority regulatory initiatives and one that addresses Congress' intent that this regulation encourage chronic violators to comply with the Mine Act and MSHA's health and safety standards," Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Joseph Main said in an issued statement.
"We think this final rule will help prevent another tragedy. MSHA should not be prevented from taking action to protect the lives of miners for months, or even years, while we await the final outcome of citations and orders that a mine operator can easily contest. The new rule addresses those flaws."
The announcement comes in the wake of the seven-year anniversary of the mine disaster at Sago that claimed the lives of a dozen men. Both the federal and local governments launched probes into the exact cause of the Jan. 2, 2006, disaster.
That tragedy and one following in Kentucky resulted in a moratorium on foam blocks being used as a sealant.
"My heart still aches over the loss of our coal miners at Sago on that tragic day," U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said. "It's yet another reminder that the best way to honor all of those we've lost is do everything in our power to build upon mine safety improvement."
"Following the Sago disaster, Congress came together and passed legislation focused on improving mine rescue efforts," Rockefeller added. "But the tragedies we have seen over the past seven years show we have more work to do."
In the days following the Sago disaster, current U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, who was the state's governor at the time, helped to enact safety reforms that served as a model for federal law.
Senate Bill 247 increased the number of emergency rescue chambers to more than 300 locations in about 180 mines and placed more than 40,000 new self-contained personal breathing devices in underground mines. He also worked to create the Mine and Industry Safety Hot/Tip Line to allow workers to anonymously report unsafe workplace conditions while protecting their job security.
"Not a day goes by when I don't think of the miners we have lost," Manchin said. "While nothing can ever bring those men back to their families, we have made positive changes after the tragedy, and my hope is that the changes we made have put miners in a safer place in the seven years since that awful day. As we continue to reflect on Sago and our other mining disasters, I am determined to make sure Congress enacts meaningful safety reforms so that our miners can always return home to their families at the end of their shifts."
U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., said it is imperative that Congress set aside party differences in order to accomplish safety reforms.
"Mine safety is not a partisan issue," she said. "We can work together across party lines and across the Capitol to give everyone involved in mine safety - from inspectors to operators to the miners themselves - the resources they want, need and deserve to run a safe mine."
Rockefeller said he plans to reintroduce the Robert C. Byrd Mine and Workplace Safety and Health Act again this year. That bill, which was introduced in 2010 about a month after the death of West Virginia's long-time member of the U.S. Senate, strengthens protection for those who report safety concerns and increases MSHA's oversight and accountability, while giving the agency tougher enforcement tools. It was introduced again in 2011, but stalled in the House of Representatives.
Manchin, however, said these newly adopted rules are a step in the right direction in the protection of the country's miners and the mining industry.
He said those workers are the ones who "do the heavy lifting that keeps this country strong.
"A strong mining industry begins with a strong commitment to our miners," Manchin said. "In our state, we're absolutely and totally committed to the safety of every worker."
Hamilton, too, agrees the government should be fully committed to the workplace and to worker safety. But he said the laws can only go so far.
"We can pass all of the laws we want, but we have to enforce them," he said. "In these mining disasters, there always seems to be multiple victims. That's not to say one death doesn't make a difference. One death is one death too many. This is something that is long overdue for these companies that are repeat offenders."

AmpliPhi BioSciences inked a collaborative research and development agreement with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) that will focus on developing and commercializing bacteriophage therapeutics to treat Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.
The initial indication will be wounds and skin infections from S. aureus, which is reportedly the leading pathogen in healthcare-associated infections in the U.S. overall, accounting for 30.4% of surgical site infections.
AmpliPhi will retain global regulatory ownership and commercial rights to all products developed as a result of the agreement. USAMRMC will gain access rights to any products developed. WRAIR will be responsible for cGMP production of the lead Staphylococcus product, AmpliPhage-002, for Phase I and II clinical trials at its bioproduction facility.
"Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are a significant challenge for U.S. military, as they are for the rest of the world," Kenneth A. Bertram, M.D., principle assistant for acquisition at USAMRMC, said. "The Army has had a long-standing interest in the potential of innovative therapies to address this challenge. This bacteriophage collaboration is an important step in the battle to find much needed alternative therapies to treat these infections."
AmpliPhi appears to be fighting a war on two fronts—in April it formed an exclusive channel collaboration with Intrexon to develop new bacteriophage-based therapies to target specific antibiotic-resistant infections including bacterial infections associated with acute and chronic wounds, acute and chronic P. aeruginosa lung infections, and infections of C. difficile.

After showing off his vocal range with a cover of Rihanna's "Stay" on Friday, The Fast and the Furious star is revealing the inspiration behind his touching performance (and his re-cut clip, below).
After seeing Rihanna perform the song at the Grammy Awards, Diesel, 45, decided to record himself singing the tune and dedicate it to his longtime girlfriend, Paloma Jimenez, in lieu of a traditional Valentine's Day card.
With the help of his daughter, Diesel obtained a mic and an amp while Jimenez was on a flight and "the rest is history," he tells PEOPLE.
And the response his romantic video has been getting has been even better.
"People say 'I didn't know you were a Rihanna fan?' " he says. "How could you not be a fan of her voice, her gift."
But while the actor says he's been putting out fun singing videos "for years" – and sang in Strays and The Pacifier – he adds that "no one ever took it this [seriously]."

The "month of love" seems all but that to this February Scrooge. I become a person foreign to its own soul. A Cupid Grinch. It would suffice me just fine if cupid remained a concrete frieze smiling down at tourists from cold, stone buildings.
Those who know me know that I have a love/hate relationship with the month. At least the first half of it. I wish Valentine's Day could have stayed as simple as my grade school doily and red construction paper bag filled with Necco's candy conversation hearts and hand-scrawled valentines.
Hmmm, maybe the day bred expectations even then. Did you ever dump that white bag of cards onto your desk, scrambling to find one from that special guy/gal to see if he/she sent a coded special message?
The more commercial Valentine's Day becomes – the more demanding, the more predictable – the less it feels like love. As soon as a Valentine's commercial or radio ad starts, I am scrambling for the mute button or volume knob.
I am aggravated that something so trivial can aggravate me so bad. I vow annually to resolve this issue before February comes around the next year, but here we are again.
Earth itself seemed to agree with me this year, withholding her care like an angry woman who had been robbed of her 3-foot Valentine's card. The globe shook, it froze and – thank God, it thawed. So was the first half of February 2014 in Charleston, S.C.
I woke up on Feb. 15 like it was the first day of the month. A new moon of sorts. My arms stretched to the sky when I rose. Sipping coffee and thinking of blessings – I silently expressed gratefulness that I wouldn't need to turn the channel, mute the volume or avoid the dedicated aisles of the stores.
All is well, all the people that I love know that I love them still. And the proof isn't a half-eaten box of chocolate or a box of edible undies that will end up in a garage sale or forgotten and hidden in a dresser drawer to mortify a child years later when they sort through our tokens of this earth at our demise.
And then a few hours later, I got the last laugh. I walked into Harris Teeter and there are five – yes five – overstuffed buggies of 75% off flowers. Day-old Valentine's flowers! Nirvana!
The skies opened, I think I heard music and... the answer came to me! The answer to that elusive, annoying-ass problem, what to do with myself for Valentine's Day for the rest of my life.
Flip the table! Anonymously surprise those people who weren't expecting the Vermont Teddy Bear, the 50-piece chocolate box or box from Jared. When I started thinking of who may be on that list... it grew and grew and so did my heart (Imagine Valentine Scrooge here, feeling her heart beat).
Next year, I will fill my doily and red construction paper Valentine's bag with cards for:
The person who quietly offers a lifetime of unreciprocated love to another.
The pessimist (A card AND a box of Good and Plenty).
The person cloaking a hurting heart.
The widow/widower.
The father who misses the game because he is working overtime to give his kid that shoe with a stripe.
The mother who feigns she isn't hungry so that there is enough food to go around.
The scared one.
The selfless person who avoids pettiness and greed as dirty bathwater.
The one who hold secrets to their chest that would cause pain to others.
The angry ones, they walk the streets with placid smiles, like walking dead.
Maybe – just maybe, the 14 days before Valentine's Day won't be enough time for me to celebrate!
Happy belated Valentine's everyone! But to those special ones above: May the God who knows and sees all injustices, fill your planter with a bird-dropped wildflower seed, offer up a rainbow from a miniscule drop of water, or fill up five grocery carts with clearance, day-old flowers and chocolates!
And contrary to popular belief piddlin' is not always leisure time. Piddlin' can be anything from bush-hogging a field to snapping a bushel basket of green beans on the front porch.

Debt is larger than GDP and money in circulation
Editor's note: Huntsman Professor William F. Shughart II, J. Fish Smith Professor in Public Choice, was quoted in this story that ran on Aug. 9 in WatchDogWire, an online publication that trains "citizen journalists" to cover stories that "are otherwise ignored by the establishment media."
Watchdog Wire
By Adam Ulbricht
As the Congressional recess begins for lawmakers in Washington, D.C., a major fight looms shortly following their scheduled return. Prior to the start of the near month-long break, Congress failed to agree upon on the next step for the debt limit debate.
As time ticks away, the country inches closer to the late fall deadline set by the Treasury Department. That date is when the U.S. will hit its limit of $16.699 trillion dollars.
"Debt has to be repaid," said William Shughart, a professor at the John Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and senior fellow at the Independent Institute. "The only way to get out of it is either drastically reduce spending, or drastically increase taxes."
