Stratford High School's wrestling team finished the match like it hopes to end the season, very strong. The Knights scored the final 33 points of a Region 7-AAAA encounter with Cane Bay earlier this week at SHS, winning 46-18 in the region opener for both teams. "Our goal this year is to work hard at practice every day and see what kind of a team we can be in February, one day at a time, one match at a time," Knights coach Willie Nearhood said. "… We're a team looking for some respect too. We had lineup issues at the beginning of the year but we're slowly getting back." The win upped the Knights' dual record to 13-3 on the season. Cane Bay's Matt Rudy recorded a pin at 215 pounds to give the Cobras an 18-13 lead after seven bouts but Stratford won the final seven matches to pull away. Daniel Dees started the streak with a decision in the heavyweight match and was followed by pins in three of the next four bouts. Ross Johnson's pin at 126 pounds gave the Knights an insurmountable 37-18 lead with two matches remaining. "If you practice hard every day, these nights will take care of themselves," Nearhood said. 145 – Billy Ackerman (S) d. Eddie Brookshire 1-0; 152 – Tyler Farr (CB) d. Brock Corsey 2-1; 160 – J.D.

Is Ricky Hatton a bum? Where do you rate him?
I've talked to a few people and seen a number of posts saying Ricky Hatton was always a bum and only got to the level he reached because of his overwhelming (perhaps uninformed) fan support. He was, and probably still is, a star attraction of our sport but evaluating an individual for his own merits as boxer should not include the amount of revenue that individual can bring to the table as a result of his fan support.
If Hatton wasn't half as popular among fans, would he ever have had the opportunity to even face Mayweather or Pacquiao? Where do you rate Hatton as a boxer, not only since the Pacquiao KO but considering his career as a whole?
Is he a
1. Bum (C class fighter): because he lacks many core boxing skills
2. Average Boxer (B) with average boxing ability
3. Excellent Boxer (A) with above average boxing skills.
4. Elite Boxer (A+ Class), he's the cream of the crop.

I can't understand why people call Hatton a bum.
His resume is quite good, not amazing. But nowhere near bum level.
Just because he was outclassed by Mayweather (who isn't?) and made to look rubbish against Pac, doesn't make him a bum. Hatton was a great fighter but seems to have lost it in his last fight.

He isn't a bum, pretty good fighter. I do believe the drinking, blowing up 30-40 lbs fucked his career up a little.

All this talk of 'bums' and 'C class' fighters is total ****e, and people need to get a reality check.
Bums are guys who fight just to make up the numbers - the sort that prospects fight in their first dozen or so fights. D and C class are fighters who will never win anything above Amateur/national title level. B class I would put European level fighters at.
Almost all fighters that fight for World titles are A class or Elite level - but then out of those you have the future (and potential future) HOF's, Greats and the ATG's.
By fighting at the very top of the sport you are, by definition Elite level. People on here might point to a fighters resume and say he knocked over 30 tomato cans before winning a World Title - well maybe, but the fact is those 'Tomato cans' make up the vast majority of boxers in the sport (the TRUE B and C class fighters) and it's generally only top level fighters that can knock them all over and then go on to win titles.
Hatton has been Ring magazine fighter of the year, World Champion at 2 weights, Lineal champion at 140 for 4 years - how anyone can call him a bum because he lost to two P4P #1's and probable future ATG's is beyond me.

The NHL is loaded with tremendous young talent. This list is designed to highlight each team's best player in that regard.
There are no set parameters on the list in terms of age or past accomplishment. Rather, the idea is to shine the spotlight on the players that will provide the most production in the years to come.
Everyone on the list is under the age of 30, but that's not an indictment of the league's older players. The reality is younger players provide the most potential, and there are plenty of those players on this list.
The list contains superstars, rookies and others who are on the cusp of their primes. Feel free to object in the comments or offer a hearty congratulations on us getting it right.

Leatherwood Mountains 50 Mile Ultra Trail Race
My first 50 Mile Ultra Race. Boy did I pick a doosey! Luckily I had a friend, Ken Bohn, join me for the journey.
Elite runners were calling this race "Mile for mile, the toughest on the east coast. And possibly tougher than Leadville." That says a lot about how tough this race was. And in it's first year. A sign of things to come.
The journey started Friday night as I left right from work and headed up to Leatherwood Mountains (Ferguson NC, in the Appalachian Mountains) for dinner. We ate with all the other runners as guest speaker Jennifer Pharr Davis. (Record holder for Fastest woman to hike the Appalachian Trail) spoke about her trials and tribulations on the Appalachian Trail.
It was a buffet style dinner in the stable turned cafeteria with, you guessed it, pasta being the main course. We got our fill of food and then headed to the hotel. It was about a half hour drive. Once we got to the hotel, it was time to lay out all our gear and make sure we were ready to go in the morning. Then it was bed time. Of course I didn't sleep much. Tossed and turned all night in anticipation for the big day ahead.
At 5:00 AM the alarm goes off. Of course I was already up before that, excited and nervous about the long journey I was about to embark on.
We arrived at Leatherwood Mountains about 6:20 AM. The race wasn't going to start until 7:00 AM, and there is no such thing as warming up for an Ultra. That's what the first 5 miles are for. So we had plenty of time to kill. We got to look at the mountains we would be climbing. We didn't get to see them the night before. They don't look so big when you're not climbing them.
7:00 AM we line up and off we go. The Race Director warned us that the first 7 miles was the toughest part of the race. He wasn't kidding. The trails never seemed to stop going up, up, up, up. And just when you thought you were about to turn a corner and level off or go down hill, it went up some more. And they were steep trails. This was not just a trail race. This was a Mountain Race. Some of the trails were sooooooo steep that you could almost reach out touch them with your hand as your were climbing them.
The Race Director originally said 10,000 + feet of elevation change. I'm pretty sure it was much closer to 15,000′. A look at the Elevetion Chart will tell you how tough the day would be. Luckily, we couldn't ask for better weather. It was about 40 degrees at the start and it was only supposed to get up to the low 60's. Perfect for running. And it rained the day before, which made it much more tolerable for those of us blessed with Pollen allergies, but also made some of the downs treacherous.
I was doing well for the first lap. Lap one was 25 miles, lap two was 15, and lap three was 10. I got a great opportunity to run with a legend, Charlie Engle (Thanks again Charlie, you are truly an inspiration). You can see him in "Running the Sahara" on Netflix or "Running America". I ran with him for the last 5 miles of Lap 1, and got some great tips. Also, that will give you a good idea of how well I was doing. He finished the race in 2nd place. So anyway, we finished the first 25 miles in 4:40. I felt pretty good considering how challenging the course was. About 5 miles into the 2nd lap, I was running out of juice. Up until this point in my short running career, I had only completed one 50K, so I had no idea what to expect. I hit the bag drop and decided to change my shoes and socks. I took about 10 minutes to rest and eat as much as I could stomach. The aid stations were awesome. They had PB&J, crackers, potato chips, salt tabs, pretzels, M&M's, Gummy Bears, water, heed, BACON, etc. They were well stocked. Absolutely AWESOME. And the volunteers were incredible.
So after a ten minute break, my legs felt great again, and I was off. We would run the "Lollipop" loop and head back to the aid station again. The loop was about 7 miles. That would leave approx 4 miles back to the start of the 3rd loop (36 miles behind me at this point for those not keeping up). As I was resting at the aid station, my friend Derek Oliver would catch me, and drag me away from there. But I needed that. I was hurting pretty bad at this point. I managed to stay with him for about the next 3 miles and couldn't hang with him any longer. It was at this point, that I knew completing 50 miles was not in the cards. The 40th mile was the longest mile of my life. My Quads were absolutely destroyed, making the downhills dreadful. I had to turn sideways and shimmy down the hills. My jog was reduced to a slow shuffle. It was all I could do to try to get to the Start/Finish area.
Upon my arrival, as I'm walking with my head down, the volunteers and family members were cheering me in. I made it to the Check point and told the Race Director I was done. It was actually embarrassing, but a smart move. If I would have gone out for the last ten miles, I would have been risking major injuries. Not worth it. He offered me a pint glass (for the finishers). I turned it down, and told him I would be back next year to earn it. And I will. I plan on destroying that course next year.
I completed 40 miles of a mountain race in 8:30:00, which is not bad, but it is UNFINISHED. I'm not happy with my DNF. See you next year Leatherwood.
If you are an Ultra Runner and think your a BADA$$, this race is for you. This race will sell out quick next year, so be on the lookout.
22% Drop Rate on the 50 Miler. They also have a 50K and 10 Mile option.
Hope to see you there next Year.

There's an App for That -- Using iPads to Support Literacy Instruction in the Classroom
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2, 3–5, 6–8
One of my favorite apps is Puppet Pals. See why this app receives my full attention.
Our school is fortunate enough to have a set of traveling iPads for checking out. In addition, I have a set of six (one is personal) that I keep secured in the classroom and use on a regular basis. Of course, when I first received the iPads (thank you, PTA!), I immediately went on a hunt for apps that would help with literacy instruction. And then I was disappointed. Bummed, even. The search seemed endless and frustrating. With every site that promised literacy apps, a long list had to be sorted through and considered. I would download a few and be disappointed that the free version had limited capabilities or shocked that it was loaded with inappropriate ads. To save you this frustration, I am sharing a select few — okay, fifteen — that have passed my test with flying colors. I'll also share how I have used them in the classroom.
Apps That Support Fluency Instruction
Puppet Pals
Cost: Free and fully functioning, or $2.99 for a large selection of characters and backgrounds (including the freedom to add backgrounds and characters by taking photos with the built-in camera).
Puppet Pals allows students to create and record their own animated shows. It's easy enough for a 3rd grader to figure out alone. With guidance, younger students will have no problem setting it up as well.
There are two ways you can use Puppet Pals in your classroom:
1) Readers Theater
There are many readers theater resources available. However, I tried this one with my husband (as practice) and he requested a second try, which says a lot! I will be utilizing this resource next week with grades 4–6.
I downloaded the script "Hey Little Ant," from www.thebestclass.org, where you can find many free scripts.
Here is an example of how reader's theater can be used through PuppetPals.
2) Fluency Analysis
It's common practice to have students record a passage so that they can listen to it and reflect on their fluency performance. However, with Puppet Pals, students can analyze phrasing, expression, accuracy, and pacing with pizzazz — everything else pales in comparison. Recently I had five students take a picture of themselves and of two pages from their guided reading book after recording the pages. Put all together, the students were able to record an entire book and share it with others. Very cool!
Here is an example of how PuppetPals can be used to practice reading a book together as a group.
Before recording, we used Intervention Central's Passage Generator for practice. Many of the resources mentioned in my last fluency post assisted my readers with goal setting.
With Intervention Central Passage Generator, type in text from a passage and you will be provided with a formative assessment that looks professional. This includes an area for analyzing fluency, documenting words read per minute, and miscues. In addition, each line has a running word count on the side.
However, it doesn't have to be that complicated. If you simply select a supportive background and photo of the student (which can be completed in fewer than ten seconds — see image below), students can read their selections with ease. From start to finish, I have done this in ten minutes, working with a set of five students.
Cost: Free
Don't you think it would be fun to read a speech using a teleprompter? Well, now you and your students can! With iPrompt, type in the text, set the desired speed (I prefer seven), and have students practice reading the text as though they're in a press conference. This is great for that student who is accurate but needs a little push in the pacing department. They have to keep up, or they will be left behind!
Apps That Support Grammar Instruction
Cost: .99
I like this one because it incorporates patterns and picture analogies. While taking the Miller Analogies Test several years ago, I learned that analogies can incorporate history, math, and science. Your students should know this as well.
Cost: Free
After downloading the Mad Libs app and only finding one free passage, I was happier with Wordventure. Only three passages are free, but that's better than one, and it offers more complex parts of speech.
Cost: Free
Students enjoy this app because two students can play it at a time, and I like it because it covers everything from homophones to prefixes and affixes. Students can select their grade level and practice needed skills in a fun and engaging manner.
An App That Supports Comprehension Instruction
Cost: Free
Raz-Kids gives students access to leveled books online. To use Raz-Kids, you must have a Learning A-Z account, but then you can download this recently released app for free. Unlike the computer version, audio is only provided for lower-level comprehension questions. However, I really like being able to switch from the questions to the text (which you can't do online). If a student submits an incorrect answer, the correct answer is not provided. The student must revisit the question and the text.
An App That Supports Spelling Instruction
Cost: $5.99
If you are looking for personalized spelling practice and instruction with extra bells and whistles, then SpellBoard is a good place to start. SpellBoard allows you to quickly read and record each spelling word in isolation and in a sentence. Once you have uploaded your words, students have many venues in which to practice their spelling. This includes physically writing words out on the iPad screen.
I don't recommend this app if you have multiple lists to upload (e.g., Words Their Way). For free spelling support, visit the excellent Spelling City.
Apps That Support Sight Word Instruction
Word BINGO
Cost: Free
This fun app provides sight word lists for kindergarten through 3rd grade. The game is set up like a bingo card. You hear the word and must touch it quickly for credit. Worth the quick download: I really like the app's visuals.
Sight Words List
Cost: Free
This app by Alligator Apps allows you to upload and record your own sight words or utilize a grade level set. I particularly like the quiz component. A list of sight words is presented, a word is read, and the student must click on the sight word as quickly as possible.
An App That Supports Letter Name/Sound Instruction
Letter of the Day
Cost: Free
When our technology teacher told me about this app, I doubted her. However, this one can personalize any letter sound that needs support through plenty of venues. It is one of my favorite apps for kindergartners right now. For example, if the student selects "P," a poem that stresses and isolates the /p/ sound will appear centered on the screen. Around the poem will be four "quizzes" that ask students to identify that sound in pictures. But that's not all! Swipe to the next page, and you will find a letter-writing practice page. On the top of the screen, the student can watch a clip that shows how to properly write that letter. On the bottom, they'll find an area to practice writing it on a sentence strip using their finger. My students simply love it.
Apps That Support Phonemic Awareness/Phonics Instruction
Reading Remedies
Cost: .99
For less than a dollar, you can have a one-stop app for rhyming, blending, segmenting, sight words, fluency, and word attack skills.
Phonics Tic-Tac-Toe
Cost: Free
This solid app reviews a good blend of phonics skills in a fun and engaging manner.
Cost: $6.99
If your students need extra assistance with phonemic awareness and/or manipulating sounds, this app is very helpful. Like many teachers, I have several sets of magnetic alphabet tiles and chips that can be cumbersome to keep up with. However, with an online activity, you don't have to worry about clean up, maintenance, or storage anymore. And students who perceive letter tiles and chips as being babyish (if that is a word) don't have that problem with this app.
An App That Replaces Your Whiteboards
Doodle Buddy
Cost: Free
Almost any student who has touched an iPad, iPhone, or iPod will know about Doodle Buddy. And although it can be used for manipulating photos and accessing extra drawings, text, and icons, it makes an excellent whiteboard. Of course, I realize this might be an expensive whiteboard, but really, who likes cleaning whiteboards? Not I.
What Apps Do You Recommend for Literacy Instruction?
I am still on the prowl and would love to hear about your tried-and-true iPad apps. In particular, I would love to learn about any apps that support comprehension and specific reading skills (e.g., main idea, fact and opinion, etc.). Please share your gems below. My students and I would greatly appreciate it!
I am also including a screen shot of some of my apps. I am embarrassed to say that I haven't sorted them into folders yet, but at least you can see all the apps I've downloaded.

Hi Angela, I am impressed by your list of apps. I have helped produce an app called Tricky Spelling which could be added to your list. It is helpful for students who have the basic phonics skills but still have trouble making spelling decisions with words like homophones and words with tricky long vowels and word endings.
Happy Frog Apps has a bunch of apps that target reading comprehension (www.HappyFrogApps.com). Each app targets a different foundation skill: wh questions, inferences, main idea, etc.
we have iPads in class this year as well and have just signed up to Evernote which we are using to keep track of student progress. It is fantastic as we team teach here and with Evernote we can record progress via oral recording, typing or taking a photo. Then we can sync our notes and share with other teachers. The plan is it will help with reporting and as a portfolio for parents. The time consuming part is making 'notebooks on learning areas and creating notes in each for each student. Now we have an iPad by our side all day!
I teach Kindergarten. i love the lakeshore free apps. I also use the numbers app for tracking data in my classroom. It is wonderful not to carry a heavy notebook to every data team meeting. Check out splash top. it allows your i-pad to act as an interwhite board. I use it for classroom literacy routines.
Hey Angela,
Have you used your iPad at all as a tool to monitor or track student growth??
Hey Kristin,
I have looked at a few resources (such as an RTI app and the Reading Remedies), but not so much on tracking growth that involves students. We do use the iPads for weekly progress monitoring assessments, but that is merely for recording miscues, errors, and calculating words per minute quickly online (AIMSWEB- which does track student growth, and I share those results with students weekly).
If you know of anything, please share. I'd love to read about it!
Thank you! I am getting an ipad for my classroom. Our school purchased two and we had to write a proposal on how we would use them. This will save me a lot of time when it arrives. I am so excited!
Thanks! I knew of Dragon Dictation from some lists but the business tag and icon detoured me. Thanks! It is now downloaded... could really help resistant writers that don't like prewriting.
Also, under my iPad (not shown in the images above), Neo Julie is really good for the opposite effect. Text being turned to audio. You can change pace, tone, etc. It doesn't sound like a robot!
For those interested in asking PTA for help in purchasing iPads, please consider two other expenses as well- heavy duty covers (military grade) and an iPad cart for charging and storing. In addition, our iPads have an app that enables you to find it at anytime (GPS), lock the screens, etc. You can literally see what part of the school has our iPads...great for security purposes!
I had a teacher friend send me a link supporting the use of iPads in the classroom. There has also been a lot of media focus on the benefits for special need students, specifically autistic. This could help in making a case for iPads in your school.
Good luck and I hope that helps!
Dragon Dictation is awesome for allowing students who aren't yet great writers to narrate stories and have the iPad transcribe them.
I also like Reading Remedies which you included above.
Would love to get a grant or help from PTA for iPads. I teach high school honors English and reading for high school students reading at grades 6-8. If anyone has ideas, I would love to hear them.
Thank you so very much for sharing this! I feel like I spend so much time finding apps that prove to be disappointing. I can't wait to check these out!!!
I now have "Show Me"...great for tutorials and checking student work AND thinking....wonderful for math. :)
Nice options on the Grasshopper app books! I already played around with changing the text and audio...my favorite has to be the beautiful images. Thanks for sharing!
Ugh...sorry about WordBingo. My tech. coordinator downloaded it for me. I hope you found it useful , if you downloaded it. I used it this morning with kindergarten.
Word Bingo is 99 cents, not free.
Grasshopper Apps has several amazing FREE interactive books...I like Fall, I like Water, etc. The photographs are beautiful and engaging and the best part is the text can be changed. You can also label any part of the picture so when the kids touch the picture the label pops up. I simplified the text to meet the abilities of my kindergartners. Then even better...the kids are able to record themselves reading! So much fun for even reluctant readers. I am hoping by the end of the year they can help me write the stories to match the pics.
There is an app called "Show Me" that allows you to record voice-over whiteboard tutorials and share them online. I have used it to model how to do 2 and 3 digit subtraction with regrouping. You could also record instructions for centers on the app. All the students have to do is push play, listen, watch, and learn.

Another person has died in the wake of a fire in NDG.
An 18-year old woman has died following an overnight fire at a 3-storey building on St Jacques near Old Orchard.
A 22-year old man was also killed.
Two other people are said to have suffered minor burns.
The fire department says the fire started on the second floor and quickly ravaged the structure.
Someone on that floor called 911 around 4 AM Friday morning.
"We were all awake watching a movie, we saw smoke coming through the floor and evacuated the building. Our main concern is with a friend of ours who took long to get out of the building," one tenant told CJAD.
At least 40 people were forced out of their apartments and eight families are receiving aid from the Red Cross and Sun Youth.
Montreal's arson squad is investigating to determine the cause.
About 100 firefighters were on site and declared the blaze under control at around 7 AM.

Drew Nowak was not sure exactly how many times the Jacksonville Jaguars had contacted him in the last week, but it was enough to steer his decision in signing an undrafted free agency contract.
The former Western Michigan University defensive tackle went unselected in this year's NFL Draft, but he said he had interest from Atlanta, Chicago, the New York Jets and Jacksonville about a free agency deal.
"The other teams were decent fits, but you want to go to a team that shows the most interest," Nowak said. "(Jacksonville) showed the most interest and I think it will turn out well."
The 6-foot-4, 300-pound Green Bay, Wis. native had a superb senior season at WMU with 8 1/2 sacks, which tied the best mark in the Mid-American Conference, and he was second in tackles-for-loss with 20.
His performance in the 2011 season earned him the title of Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year and his professional stock rose dramatically.
"I think his senior year he really came into his own," WMU coach Bill Cubit said. "He's a big dominant guy. He's all jacked up and ready to go. I think he's got a heck of a shot."
Jeris Pendleton out of Ashland (Ohio) University was the only defensive tackle to be drafted by the Jaguars, which Nowak said was encouraging in terms of making the team.
Nowak said after WMU's Pro Day all he wanted was a chance and now that he has one he's determined to make the most of it.
"It's kind of cliché, but it's like a dream come true," he said. "Actually being able to put myself in this position – I'm about to sign a free agency contract – I don't think I actually understand it all. I'm so blessed to have this opportunity.
"I can promise you I'm going to do my best. I'm not going down without doing everything I can."

The Hunterdon Harmonizers were recently trained by internationally recognized barbershop chordiologis, Paul Ellinger of Ann Arbor, Mich., to help them improve their barbershop skills.
Paul has sung lead since 1989 with the very popular show quartet, Chordiology, which has been described as a comedic variety act steeped in barbershop fun. Chordiology has more than 300 performances to their credit and their website, Chordiology.com, sees between 10,000 and 35,000 page hits a month.
Chordiology and their pay-it-forward attitude has been featured in the "Harmonizer" on a number of occasions, most notably as district champions and as creators of the OlogyQuartet outreach, which was begun back in 2008 in an effort to bolster the creation of quartets. They offered to sing with anyone on the fall contest stage that didn't have a quartet to sing with. Two members of Chordiology would join two novices on the stage and compete for scores using only the first names of each of the novices in the names of the quartets, such as BillTomOlogy. It was so well received by both the participants and the audience that now many other district champion and international quartet reps have joined in and quartets continue to be created today from this outreach.
Chordiology also pioneered the OlogyCat common repertoire outreach. In an effort to provide more common repertoire than the standard polecats, so people could have more fun and enjoy a higher level of camaraderie when getting together at functions throughout the district, Chordiology offered to pay for learning tracks for two songs for every singer in the Pioneer District. The only thing they requested in return was that those requesting the tracks sing those songs with someone in the next 12 months. They offered two songs the first year in 2010, "Taking a Chance on Love" and "I Didn't Want To Fall." Due to the large number of requests, Chordiology sent out more than 1,200 tracks. By popular demand, those two songs became the Joe Barbershopper Chorus songs for the next contest. For the 2011 season, Chordiology has offered two additional songs: "That Railroad Rag" and "I Believe in Music."
With Ellinger's seven simple steps to better barbershop, he has shown chapters with his Wavebox Singing Theory to sing at a higher level on any song, and make it applicable to any song you sing. Case in point, Paul had one chapter which placed twelfth in its previous contest -- which was pretty standard for the chapter -- go to third in the next contest cycle, garnering 10 points higher, per song, per judge with no new members, no change in director and no other outside coaching.

Spirited sales increase
January 18, 2011 - Rob Weaver
We received a fax from the Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Liquor Control today which announced dollar sales of spirituous liquor topped a record $753.7 million last year. "Spirituous liquor" is liquor containing more than 21 percent alcohol by volume.
The fax also noted sales for 2010 reached 11 million gallons. No word on how much mixer that may have required.
An interesting part of the release listed the top 10 selling brands of liquor (by gallons sold) for 2010: 1. Kamchatka Vodka – 408,277 gallons 2. Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey – 342,840 gallons 3. Bacardi Superior Light Rum – 295,820 gallons 4. Smirnoff Vodka – 283,332 gallons 5. Captain Morgan Spiced Rum – 280,229 gallons 6. Absolut Vodka – 271,495 gallons 7. Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey – 267,140 gallons 8. Jagermeister – 261,959 gallons 9. Korski Vodka – 236,976 gallons 10. Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey – 232,623 gallons
The fax concluded by noting the taxes collected on those record sales. Last year, $167 million of the Division's liquor sales revenue was transferred to the state's General Revenue Fund. Another $66.7 million was earmarked for other state services such as liquor law enforcement; alcohol treatment, education and prevention programs; and the retirement of economic development and Clean Ohio revitalization bonds. Also, $71.7 million in state sales and gallonage taxes on spirituous liquor was deposited into the state's treasury. That's a total of $305.4 million — remember, that's on sales of $753.7 million. It seems the state of Ohio profits more from liquor sales than the companies which distill the products. Of course, it's also apparent that, despite the cost added to all those gallons, people still bought more last year than ever before. Cheers.

Get Ready for The Boss by Celebrating That Other Girl Scout Classic Troop Beverly Hills
Originally posted 04/07/2016 04:50PM
Melissa McCarthy's new comedy, The Boss, arrives in theaters on Friday. Given McCarthy's string of box office successes, the movie seems primed to be a hit. And we're stoked too, but the premise of the film has us recalling another female-led comedy: The 1989 Shelley Long cult hit Troop Beverly Hills.

You may know Jenny Lewis from a few places. She had a nearly 20-year career in Hollywood, with roles in cult classics Troop Beverly Hills and The Wizard before abruptly pivoting into music with adored indie band Rilo Kiley.
Lewis has also turned in critically acclaimed collaborations with the Watson Twins and her partner Jonathan Rice as part of Jenny & Johnny. She's releasing her third solo album, The Voyager, on July 29, and is touring extensively in support of it. We talked to Lewis on the heels of her performance at New York City's Governor's Ball about touring, the new record, and Troop Beverly Hills.

Competition is healthy. It breeds success. By gosh, it's American.
Isn't this what we were told when the Senate president and the governor tried strong-arming the state into privatizing prisons?
And isn't this what we were told when legislators threw satchels of cash to private companies wanting to build charter schools?
And isn't this what Gov. Rick Scott was talking about just last week when he told lawmakers that he didn't want to see any more money steered exclusively toward the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
"I do not believe it is appropriate to designate in statute a specific private entity as the recipient of state funds,'' Scott wrote last week. "Such a practice restricts the competitive procurement process.''
So are we clear on that?
Competition: Good.
Favoritism: Bad.
Unless, of course, that turns out to be inconvenient.
In case you missed it, a Times/Herald report on Wednesday pointed out that Steve MacNamara, the governor's chief of staff, negotiated a potential $7.5 million no-bid deal with a software company while he was working in the Senate.
Shockingly, the owner of the software company is a business partner of one of MacNamara's close friends.
MacNamara also arranged for $360,000 in consulting fees for another acquaintance whose family owned a business on which MacNamara, coincidentally, served on the board.
Just to be clear, there is nothing nefarious about these deals. The Legislature does not have to follow the same guidelines that require state agencies to jump through hoops for single-source contracts that exceed $195,000.
But doesn't it seem a little too comfy?
Perhaps a tad hypocritical?
Naturally, people in MacNamara's office say it is all completely legit. The software company has a one-of-a-kind product that will eventually make the state budget easily accessible online. And the work the consultant is doing will help the state save millions.
So who would possibly argue with any of that?
Well, perhaps someone who has a software program of their own that they believe is just as unique. And maybe a consultant who doesn't share holiday cards with MacNamara but has his or her own ideas about saving state money.
I mean, isn't that the whole point of a bid process?
The software company handpicked by MacNamara had been in business one month at the time it signed its deal with the Senate. That doesn't mean the software program wasn't unique. And that doesn't mean it wasn't the best choice out there.
But we're talking about a deal worth millions of dollars, and a company that does not have a long list of customers willing to offer testimonials.
Throw in MacNamara's ties with the people involved, and it casts an unfair light on their abilities. It's like a son-in-law getting a promotion, or a spouse being handed the corner office. It opens them up to whispers and doubts that wouldn't have been there if they had undergone a thorough bidding process.
If you're going to use competition as an excuse to push your policies, you'd better be prepared to have others shove it back in your face.

Windows credential authentication for access to network shares is always
secured whether ipsec is used or not. Passwords are not sent over the
network connection. Instead a challenge/response mechanism is used. When a
user tries to access the share the user sends a request to the server that
includes the user name. The server sends a random challenge string called a
nonce to the client computer. The client computer encrypts the nonce with
the hash of the user's password and sends it back to the server. The server
encrypts the nonce with the password hash it has for the user and compares
the two. If identical then authentication is successful. In a domain
environment the authentication is a bit different and the domain controller
is involved but in any case a challenge/response is used. Beware however
that passwords used for FTP and telnett are sent in clear text but that
would not be the case in your scenario. Keep in mind that a benefit of ipsec
when negotiation [ESP/AH] is required is that the computers must
authenticate with each other before the ipsec SA can be created. That means
that a user on a computer that can not create an ipsec SA with the server
can not access the share even if the user knows credentials that could
normally be used to authenticate to that server to access the share. If your
computers are not in an Active Directory domain and you have configured
ipsec to be requires for all traffic between the computers then the user
authentication process will also happen with ipsec encryption just like it
is in a L2TP VPN connection. --- Steve

I am in an argumentative mood. I am not sure why but perhaps reading all these things targeting celebrity chefs is contributing to it. In my previous post, Jamie Oliver was being attacked by pregnant women in metal cages. Now I read about a Fat Panel saying that celebrity chefs offer recipes that have too much fat in them.
The Straits Times had a write up on this a few days ago:
A REPORT from United Kingdom group, the Fat Panel, has found that the single servings of recipes in celebrity chef cook books contain too much fat.
Some recipes from celebrity chefs like Nigella Lawson and Gordon Ramsey's were found to have more than the entire daily recommended fat intake of 30g for men and 20g for women said a report on Friday.
'Celebrity chefs are incredibly influential when it comes to what we eat,' dietician Sian Porter said. 'While these delicious meals are fine as occasional treats, people do not realise the health implications.'
Mind you, I am not a big fan of either Nigella or Gordon Ramsey but hey, aren't we thinking adults here? If you see a recipe and you decide to make it, wouldn't you figure out if there is too much fat in it? And wouldn't it be up to you to decide whether or not to make it anyway?
Come on, people of the Fat Panel. Don't take away our treats. Let us decide if we want these recipes or not.
Jamie Oliver seems to be one of the favorite celebrity chefs of various activist groups. This time, he is being targeted by PETA, the well known animal rights activist group. In a demonstration held in front of Jamie's Italian restaurant in Brighton, members of PETA held placards stating 'Be Pukka to Pigs: Go Vegetarian."
The demonstrators didn't stop at written protestations. One demonstrator, Lynzi Waddington, took it upon herself to imitate a pregnant sow (and she is heavily pregnant by the way), knelt down on the ground inside a metal cage. Apparently, this is one practice that is common in the hog raising industry. Her comment? "Pigs are very sensitive animals, they do feel pain, and they deserve to be treated right."
What does the celebrity chef have to say about all this? His spokesman said that "The meat Jamie is serving up is very high quality. They should go make a protest somewhere that imports its meat."
While that does not directly answer the demonstrator's remarks on "humane" treatment of pigs, it does make sense to me. I might become the target of animal rights activists because of this post but seriously, there is a place for everyone, everything. It's called the food chain. It is part of life.
While I do not see Jamie Oliver as the perfect person (well he is hunky, I have to say that!), I do not see him forcing vegetarians to eat meat either. So why not leave meat-eaters alone?

You don't know who Marc Veyrat is? He is a French celebrity chef – and yeah, the French know all about good food! – who is known for his forays into the countryside to gather wild herbs to incorporate into his excellent dishes. Late last month, news reports spread like wildfire that the celebrity chef is "quitting the kitchen."
His restaurant, La Maison de Marc Veyrat (more popularly known as L'Auberge de l'Eridan) is closing down, much to the dismay of many. Unlike other chefs, who are closing down their shops because of the credit crunch, Veyrat cites health reasons for this closure. He is quoted as saying "I am stopping work in Annecy because physically, I have to, following a serious ski accident three years ago."
The restaurant is located near Annecy and has earned 3 stars in the Michelin Guide. It was opened by Veyrat in 1992 and is best known for its traditional dishes infused with lots of wild herbs. Veyrat also introduced the concept of "molecular gastronomy." This concept is basically the use of chemistry in coming up with unique recipes. That is, chemistry inspired the chef to put his own twist to various kinds of dishes, making them one of a kind.
Sad to say, that era seems to be coming to an end. Veyrat says that perhaps, the restaurant will make a comeback in the future but if it does, it will certainly be transformed. Still, the good news is that he says he might come back if he becomes fit again.
For those of you in Jacksonville, Florida, tomorrow is a good day! March 5, 2009, Thursday, is the day of the 23rd Annual Celebrity Chefs Tasting Luncheon And Silent Auction. This charity event will be held from 11 in the morning till 1 in the afternoon at the Prime Osborn Convention Center.
I got wind of this event from the blog Florida Foodies – lots of stuff to be found here, by the way! – and after reading about the luncheon, I couldn't help but wish that I were nearer to Florida! More than the actual foodie experience itself, you can get the satisfaction of knowing that your money is going to a good cause. The luncheon is actually the annual fundraiser of the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary and a large percentage of the earnings from the event will go to worthy causes such as scholarships, homework assistance, and the Child Development Center and Towers Memorial Center. Another beneficiary of this event is the Senior Center and the Adult Rehabilitation Center.
Locals will be delighted to know that the celebrities on the guest roll are as follows:

Football is a funny old game, one minute you look to be safe from relegation and the next minute you have been dragged right back into the relegation battle and things just don't seem to be going your way.
While Sunderland were never too far away from the drop zone they looked to be out of danger but having lost to Aston Villa and then failed to beat Stoke they are right back in the mix.
Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio will be feeling the pressure going into the final two games of the season and with injury or suspension depriving Sunderland of Steven Fletcher, Stephane Sessegnon and Craig Gardner for the last couple of matches his task isn't getting any easier.
One man who is going to have to step up to the mark for the Black Cat's is Adam Johnson, the former City winger was anded a role in "the hole" behind Danny Graham against Stoke and looks set to stay there for the remainder of the season.
Johnson's move to a more advanced central role certainly looks set to improve his chances of picking up attacking returns over the last two games and with Sunderland's backs firmly against the wall he is going to have too.
A home game against Southampton this weekend looks crucial before the Black Cats make their way to Tottenham in the last weekend of the season and with an ownership rate of less than 3% Johnson could well prove to be a valuable differential for fantasy managers

A FISHERIES Authority member has resigned after he breached the authority's own byelaws.
William Miller, formally of the Northumberland Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Authority (NIFCA) was discovered in possession of an undersized lobster by a NIFCA patrol.
He was also in possession of a specially 'v-notched' lobster. These are not intended for capture, in order to boost stocks .
Miller disputed the accusation, and was issued with a warning.
The Authority took the view that the nature of the offence had made Mr Miller's position as a NIFCA member untenable and he was asked to tender his resignation.

Covington Mayor Mike Cooper submitted his proposed 2012 budget to the City Council Tuesday, which comes in at just over $12 million and includes the first raise for city employees in three years and a $1.5 million downtown street beautification project.
The proposed budget will be considered by the council in several upcoming work sessions, with a public hearing and council vote set for Nov. 1.
Cooper's budget, combatting skyrocketing employee retirement contributions, calls for dismantling the Police Department's SWAT team, along with eliminating three vacant positions within the Police Department and two unfilled positions in the Recreation Department.
It also recommends hiring an on-staff city engineer to deal with routine infrastructure projects on a $160,000 budget, rather than continuing to contract engineering services at an annual cost of $320,000.
The 3 percent cost-of-living raise for city employees will cost $210,000.
According to the mayor's proposal, nearly half of the city's budget is derived from sales tax revenues. Through July of this year, sales tax revenues increased by 6.3 percent within the city limits and by 21.9 percent in its growth-management district, areas of commerce just outside the city limits in the parish, Councilman Lee Alexius said at Tuesday night's meeting. The city projects that, by the end of the year, sales tax revenues will be $700,000 higher than last year.
Next year's purse strings were also loosened a bit Tuesday when the council voted to refinance a set of 9-year-old bonds at a lower interest rate for a savings of $52,000 a year.
The two-bond series, both issued in 2002 and to be repaid by sales tax revenues, together loaned the city more than $5.5 million for water-treatment infrastructure. Refinancing would lower the interest rates from between 4 percent and 5 percent to 2.09 interest -- a remarkably low offer, according to the city's bond attorney, Jerry Osborne.
"In my career, which has gone on a few decades, I have never seen a bid this low," he told the council Tuesday night.
Cooper's 2012 budget does not include vehicle purchases for any city department. The funds typically allocated for such expenses will be dedicated to Cooper's street improvement project, which aims to resurface all of the streets in the city's downtown business district.
"Care and attention to streets, sidewalks and infrastructure will ensure the retention of existing businesses and will encourage new development in the city," Cooper wrote.
The downtown beautification project -- long-overdue, some councilmen said -- is set to be well under way in time for the city's bicentennial on July 4, 2013. Cooper is coordinating a team to plan a festival, which will hold its second meeting next Wednesday. Anyone interested in contributing is asked to inquire.
Council committees will meet to discuss the details of the proposed budget at three work sessions: police, fire and recreation at 5 p.m. Sept. 22, administration and public works at 5 p.m. Sept. 26, and a general session scheduled for 5 p.m. Oct. 13.
A public hearing and adoption of the budget is slated for 6 p.m. Nov. 1. By Louisiana law, the budget must be passed by the first of December.

What's in a name and a memorial?
A lot when the name is Lance Cpl. Abram Howard, a real hero from Williamsport who died in an ambush while on patrol in Afghanistan in July 2010.
The memorial relates to the DuBoistown Bridge, the new version of the former Arch Street bridge that is slated to open this month.
Beyond the obvious transportation improvement that the new bridge represents, it is heartening to memorialize Lance Cpl. Howard.
And it's nice when honor and heroism transcend typical political divisions that dominate Harrisburg and Washington way too much these days.
The resolution renaming the bridge was introduced in the state House by Rep. Rick Mirabito, a Williamsport Democrat, and pushed as an amendment in the Senate by state Sen. E. Eugene Yaw, a Loyalsock Township Republican.
That's as it should be.
Honoring our military heroes is not a matter for political partisanship.
Lance Cpl. Howard and the thousands of military personnel who came before him shed blood and gave up their lives to protect the political system that so is abused with juvenile behavior and snarky political sniping.
People like Lance Cpl. Howard are what set our country apart.
A new DuBoistown Bridge is long overdue.
But with Lance Cpl. Howard's name attached, it will look even better.

In the spring of 1973, Mike Fiamingo was one of 12 children when his family moved to Mansfield to start a moving business that is known today as Fiamingo Moving and Storage.
The business started out as a father and his three sons moving local families and businesses, but has now turned into a global business with five different locations, including locations in Hornell, New York; Churchville, New York; Harrisburg; Mansfield; and the Williamsport location at 25 Maynard St.
"We now have about 50 to 60 full-time employees, nearly 35 trailers, 15 tractors and 25 straight trucks," Fiamingo said. "We have over 100,000 square feet of warehouse space available for storage, as well."
Fiamingo's, which is an agent for Graebel Van Lines, will help move people and businesses local or long-distance. The storage building is available for customers who may be building a house and need to store their belongings, according to Fiamingo.
"Basically, we will move anyone across the street, across the pond, or overseas," Fiamingo said. "We can move one piece, the whole house, you name it!"
The business is fully licensed and insured, providing free estimates, 24-hour residential and commercial service, wrapping and packing, as well as quality equipment, according to Fiamingo.
Fiamingo said his business makes at least 1,000 or more moves in one year. Some days they may not have any customers, but other days they may have up to five moves just in one day, he said.
"We could work an eight or ten-hour day, but most of the time, our days vary," Fiamingo said. "We are open Monday through Friday and weekends by appointment."
The main goal of Fiamingo's, and also the business' slogan, is "a family business moving families." Fiamingo runs the business along with his brothers, and they tend to look at things as a family, he said. Their plan is to help make the moving transition as easy as possible on the family.
"Moving is stressful next to death, divorce and poverty - it's like taking all your belongings from you," Fiamingo said. "The idea (here) is to make the transition as smooth and easy as possible for the shipper."
The business provides service to the best of their abilities, and they try to meet their customers' every needs, according to Fiamingo.
"If a customer is worried or concerned about anything, they can make us aware of it," Fiamingo said. "They don't need to hire three or four different people to help them move - we are a one-stop shop."
With the available storage space they offer, customers can store their belongings and then have them shipped to them at their new location, according to Fiamingo.
"We can store, ship it out, we can do it all," Fiamingo said.
Fiamingo makes it their top priority to deliver efficient worry-free moving at a very affordable price by making sure each move is planned and coordinated according to the movers' needs, Fiamingo said.
"Fiamingo can be trusted to handle your move quickly, efficiently, safely and economically," Fiamingo said. "Fiamingo Moving is licensed, bonded and insured for your peace of mind."
Fiamingo said he has always enjoyed working hard, and he enjoys the chances to travel and see the world by running his moving business.
"I've been all over the country more than once, and I've been to every state besides Alaska and Hawaii," Fiamingo said. "I've been to Canada, and I often spend my weekends traveling and checking things out. I get to see the country, and I get paid to do it!"

Between January 1970 and January 1978, one hundred eighty-two patients were admitted to the University of Iowa Hospitals for treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhages secondary to a ruptured aneurysm. The correct diagnosis had been delayed in 41 patients, with most treated from four to seven days before the correct diagnosis was established. Generally, these patients were initially less acutely ill than those patients whose conditions were promptly diagnosed. The most common misdiagnoses were systemic infectious illnesses, migraine headache, and hypertensive encephalopathy. Rebleeding occurred in three patients before the correct diagnosis was made. Atypical symptoms, problems in diagnosis, and the need for prompt therapy are reviewed.

Lymphedema is the swelling of any limb due to insufficient drainage of
the lymphatic system, which filters and returns fluid from your body
back into your circulatory system. Patients undergoing cancer treatment,
such as surgery or radiation therapy, are at risk of developing
lymphedema if their lymph nodes and vessels are damaged as a result
of these procedures. Symptoms often include tightness, discomfort or
swelling in the affected arm, hand, leg or foot.
Lymphedema may occur as a result of lymph nodes having been
removed during surgery or if lymph tissue has
been damaged by radiation. Many times, lymphedema can occur years
after the surgery or radiation.
The Lymphedema Management Program at Bryn Mawr Hospital offers a full
continuum of care. Under physician direction, specially trained and
experienced occupational and/or physical therapists employ a variety of
techniques to help patients better manage the symptoms associated with
lymphedema. The best results are achieved with early and continued
treatment. Even in cases of chronic lymphedema, an active management
program can reduce swelling and improve symptoms.
The goals of our program are to:
Specially trained therapists provide personalized care. Each patient is
evaluated, and an individualized plan is developed to meet specific
needs and achieve optimum results.
Therapeutic components include:
