What's a windsurfer addict to do when he becomes injured and can no longer participate in the sport he loves? For Franck Berthuot, stepping behind the lens has proved the next best thing.
Berthuot grew up in Paris and moved to Maui 11 years ago to follow his passion of windsurfing. After hurting his back over a year ago windsurfing, Franck still wanted to be in the water, so he would go for there physical therapy. One day he took his camera out in the water with him and from pain a new passion was born.
Berthout will share his images in an exhibit titled "Resume of the Winter" at Green Banana Cafe and Green Banana Yogurt Bar in Paia. The display will open Monday, followed by a reception with the artist at 7 p.m. July 9. Highlights include a photo of a 14-year-old Maui boy surfing Jaws this past winter and a longboarder at Honolua Bay.
Article Photos
Maui artist Ken Loyd puts the finishing touches on his wall mural at the recently opened Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. Loyd's art was selected for the mural and four other images to decorate the newly opened Starbucks in the Wailea resort area.
Berthout's photographs garnished international appeal on the pages of industry magazines. He has also worked for various brands including Goya and Quatro and produced stills for "The Windsurfing Movie" produced here on Maui.
The Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center will welcome its summer artists in residence Favianna Rodriguez and Orlando Reyes, as they join our Maui community to present "The Politics of Paper/ Many Stories, Many Voices" program.
The artists will present various classes, workshops, discussions, consultations and a culminating exhibition throughout the summer. For a complete schedule or details, visit www.huinoeau.com.

I appreciate all your criticisms, that will help me in my evaluation of the testing methods validity!
As to concerns I am only applying the test to programmers thats not true, at least not in intent, I did ask these questions on DeviantArt too, but only got one response, and she was a programmer!
So yeah, I know there are problems, this is my first psych experiment ever, so a little slack might be nice.

In a study, depression in a group of Medicare recipients ages 65 and older appeared to be associated with prevalent mild cognitive impairment and an increased risk of dementia.
Depressive symptoms occur in 3% to 63% of patients with mild cognitive impairment, based on previous studies, and some studies showed an increased dementia risk in individuals with a history of depression, according to background information in the study, which appeared Dec. 31 on the website of JAMA Neurology (formerly known as the Archives of Neurology).
The mechanisms behind the association between depression and cognitive decline have not been made clear and different mechanisms have been proposed, the researchers added.
Edo Richard, MD, PhD, of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and colleagues evaluated the association of late-life depression with MCI and dementia in a group of 2,160 community-dwelling Medicare recipients.
The researchers reported that depression was related to a higher risk of prevalent MCI and dementia, incident dementia and progression from prevalent MCI to dementia, but not to incident MCI. (Prevalent cases are those that developed before the study, while incident cases developed during the study period.)
Baseline depression was associated with prevalent MCI and dementia, as well as with an increased risk of incident dementia but not with incident MCI. Patients with MCI and coexisting depression at baseline also had a higher risk of progression to dementia, especially vascular dementia, but not Alzheimers disease, according to the study results.
"Our finding that depression was associated cross-sectionally with both MCI and dementia and longitudinally only with dementia suggests that depression develops with the transition from normal cognition to dementia," the authors concluded.
The study abstract is available at http://archneur.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1542838.

MEPs vote to end overfishing - a big win for European taxpayers
Photo credit: kevin dooley
February 7, 2013 // By: Fernanda Balata
Years of research and campaigning on sustainable fisheries by nef and many other organisations have finally paid off after an overwhelming majority of the European Parliament voted to end overfishing. At a vote in Strasbourg yesterday, 502 against 137 MEPs supported many of the key demands that nef and a strong coalition of other NGOs including OCEAN2012, Greenpeace and WWF, had been pushing for.
The approved European Parliament report on the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) sets clear targets for when fish stocks need to be recovered: to end overfishing by 2015 and rebuild fish stocks by 2020. In addition, MEPs voted to reward fishermen who fish in more environmentally and socially sustainable ways, and rejected amendments that would weaken the discard ban.
The Paint a Fish campaign had a significant role to play in the weeks prior to the vote, successfully linking public support and interest for the reform with the decision making process of EU politicians. Over 23,000 fish paintings from supporters across Europe, many of those young children, received positive feedback from MEPs representing different EU political groups. A group of Green MEPs went a step further and wore t-shirts on the eve of the vote, with fish paintings sent by constituents.
The UK is currently a net importer of fish; if this reform is pushed forward, the UK could become a net exporter of fish in less than 5 years. In addition to savings for the tax payers, the historic result also means better management of natural resources and a future of better jobs for fishermen.
But the work is not all yet done. Now, the European Parliament must negotiate with the Council of Ministers to turn this vote into law. The next step of the reform of the CFP will involve national interests in Europe, but although there's still resistance for some of the items on the agenda, the European Parliament is in a much stronger position to push for a radical reform.
The Paint a Fish campaign will continue in the next months to engage young people and schools across Europe in the issues of sustainable fisheries. At the same time, nef will continue to produce ground-breaking reports to support the change we want to see.

|Wine maker notes
|Our Riesling is delicate, yet full of fruit forward flavors and aromas. There arearomas of dried fruit, lemon, lavender, jasmine and rose petal. In the mouth, the crisp acidity balances this well structured wine with flavors of peaches, pineapple and pear that lead to a smooth rich, mellow finish.
|At Fetzer, we are not only committed to making great wines, but we do so in a sustainable and responsible way. As a leader in sustainable winemaking since 1986, we integrate sustainable practices throughout our entire winemaking operations including the energy we use, the materials we buy and the investment we make in our facilities, employees and our communities. We do this not only because we know it makes better wines, but because we believe its the right way to do business.

This book not only is the most unique and comprehensive guide to the operative management of penetrating trauma to date, but also represents a highly significant contribution to surgical education and training. Advanced Trauma Operative Management (ATOM): Surgical Strategies for Penetrating Trauma, both the book and the course, is the brainchild of editor Lenworth M. Jacobs, who has distinguished himself as one of the giants and trailblazers in trauma surgery and surgical education. The 53 contributors to the 7 chapters in this multimedia production include the associate editors, staff surgeons, and surgical colleagues of Dr Jacobs as well as many world-renowned experts ("master surgeons") in trauma surgery. Thus, the reader not only is afforded ample opportunity to benefit from clear and concise presentations of the latest evidence-based trauma management, but also is provided with the personal wisdom of the master trauma surgeons, gained through decades of their combined experience. The insights that the reader gains from this special and intimate information are often referred to as "pearls" and add great strength and extraordinary value to this teaching instrument.

JACKSON, MI – If everything went as hoped, the Rev. Kerry Snyder and his partner of 10 years, Marquis Taylor, would have been married Wednesday.
Now, they'll have to put off their wedding plans.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman heard oral arguments in support of and against Michigan's nine-year ban on gay marriage but did not hand down a ruling Wednesday, Oct. 16, saying he won't make a decision without hearing testimony from experts on whether there's a legitimate state interest in banning gay marriage. He scheduled a trial for Feb. 25.
"I'm highly disappointed and hurt that this saga continues," said Snyder, a pastor at the First Congregational Church in Jackson.
He was one of three local clergy that gathered at the church on Jackson Street to listen to live coverage of the court hearing. Joining him were the Rev. Julie Nemecek and Rev. Cynthia Landrum of the Universalist Unitarian Church of East Liberty.
Nemecek had planned to perform Snyder and Taylor's wedding ceremony, and Landrum was to act as the witness. Nemecek was also disappointed in the delay but hopeful it was for a good reason.
"It sounds like he wants to do more research and write an opinion that will not be easy to overturn," she said.
Nemecek, formerly known as John Nemecek, is transgendered. She married her wife 42 years ago in New York City, when she still identified as a man. In 2007, she made national news when she was fired from Spring Arbor University after coming out as a Julie.
Even if the ban were overturned today, no marriages would have immediately taken place in Jackson County.
While a number of county clerks were prepared to immediately hand out marriage licenses, Jackson County Clerk Amanda Riska was not.
"I'm not taking a position but it's my job to follow the law," Riska said.
She said the county's legal counsel would first have to interpret the opinion once it is handed down.
All 83 county clerks in the state also received a letter from state Attorney General Bill Schuette advising them not to issue same-sex marriage licenses — although some said they planned to defy that order.
"Until the matter reaches final disposition on appeal from any adverse order, you are forbidden by Michigan law from issuing a marriage license to same-sex couples during the pendency of the appeal," the Oct. 16 letter stated.
"Even though she is saying she is not taking a stance, she is taking one with her actions," Taylor said of the county clerk, who is Republican.
For Snyder's partner, Markus Taylor, both the ban on same-sex marriage and the county clerk's actions are a kick in the face and a form of punishment.
"I am being punished for loving him," Taylor said. "Who I love and who I want to marry has no effect on other couples."
Taylor, who moved here from Thailand, is not a U.S. citizen. He moved to the U.S. when he was 10 years old.
"What incentive do I have to gain citizenship? I could get this treatment in Thailand but I came here because the U.S. offered freedom," he said.
To Landrum, who is straight, the ban on same-sex marriage is an infringement on her religious liberty.
"We are prohibited from performing marriages that we believe in. It's a ban on our Constitutional freedom," she said.
While the group is disappointed with a delay in a decision, all are holding onto hope.
"If you don't have hope you might as well give up," Snyder said.

If you are a reader who picks up "Rules of Civility" by Amor Towles and the book doesn't make it onto your Top Five list of novels read in the past three years, I'm going to be very worried about you.
This book is simply magnificent. A magnificent debut, for the first-time author Towles, but more than that: just a truly creative, brilliant, different book -- one that succeeds at feeling both like a throwback to a Jamesian era of well-developed sentences undergirding fully-formed thoughts, and completely fresh. A tricky balancing act, that.
Yet Towles, an unheard-of writer who went to Yale and now works at an investment firm in Manhattan, manages it with not just finesse, but flair. He writes like a novelist on his 10th book, not his first. And he makes us impatient for his next piece of fiction.
"Rules" is set in a different place and time: New York City, in 1938 -- the fading days of the Depression, a time of troubling portents and dizzying new opportunities, the latter especially open to those with money in the bank or trust fund.
In the book's opening scenes, we meet the narrator and heroine, a law-firm typist named Katey Kontent (her last name may be the only clunky thing about this book, but we're willing to make allowances). Katey is a single 25-year-old with a razor-sharp intellect and even quicker wit.
"That's how quickly New York City comes about -- like a weathervane -- or the head of a cobra. Time tells which," she ruminates at one point.
Katey is also independent, and -- there is no other word for it -- fierce. She's easily the most impressive heroine this reader has met in a novel in many moons.
As "Rules" opens, Katey is out drinking on New Year's Eve with a bachelorette friend, Eve. Clad in evening clothes they share to double their wardrobes, the two working-class women meet a wealthy young man named Tinker Grey, who is slumming for the evening in the jazz bar that Katey and Eve frequent.
The three young people hit it off, spending one of those evenings together on which lifelong friendships -- and sometimes more -- are based. Tinker's arrival seems especially portentous to the two women, as they are fascinated by the ways of New York's privileged moneyed classes -- and Tinker, ordering champagne and driving expensive roadsters, opens a window onto a way of life they had only imagined.
The narrative that begins from that one memorable New Year's Eve stretches both backward and forward in time. We see, through Katey's recollections, how both Katey and Eve came to be in Manhattan -- and why they make the choices they do. These are two young women with one eye sharply trained on the future -- and unwilling to settle.
Eve is particularly likable, a Midwesterner by birth, gorgeously beautiful until the novel in a fateful twist takes that beauty away, and always self-reliant -- sort of a cowboy in satin sandals and a sheath gown. When she roars off into the sunset, quite literally, you cheer her on (and know she'll be just fine in the mid-20th century).
Among other things, Towles delights in the brains of his heroine, Katey. From her lips -- and through her ever-questioning brain -- flow ideas and phrases that are endlessly thought-provoking, amusing and wry.
"By the time the check came, the champagne was catching up with me," Katey narrates at one point. "I gathered my bag and set my sights on the door. The brunette in the suit walked past me toward the bathrooms. She gave me the cold unfriendly stare of an old enemy at an unpopular peace."
We don't like everything Katey does, necessarily, or every choice she makes, but we certainly enjoy the ride inside her mind. "Rules," which takes its title from a list of rules for behavior followed by the young George Washington and cultivated by one of the characters, is about, ultimately, the ways that people find their way into places where they can get what they need: money, status, security, love. It's about the surprising things that people can do, and how those things can come to seem perfectly acceptable. It's about how much you must be willing to forgive in order to keep a friend, gain a foothold in another socioeconomic class or recognize the right love.
Katey does not get the ending we expect; then again, people often don't. Still, she seems happy with where her life takes her. Tinker, Eve, these other unforgettable characters? Towles' novel is like life in this: People control very little, mess up much of what they do choose -- and learn to live with the results.

(Our hero Saychel (pronounced Say-shell) stands in the gallows before the townspeople of Vascot. He is being convicted of malicious intent in his writings. With the noose around his neck and an angry mob demanding his death, our hero makes his final plea.)
Scene: Town Square. Dusk
(The crowd screams violently)
Townsman #1:
Kill Him! Saychel's blood must be spilled in Vascot.
His pen is akin to the grave; he scribes on the sad state of man
with his heart intent on their demise.
Saychel must die, lest he be allowed to spread discontent
through words that pierce even the hardest hearts.
(Saychel fervently objects)
Kind sir ... My heart is pure.
Although it is true that I scribe on the demise of man,
my heart would deem it tragic were these events to unfold.
I am but a servant, and my words are but my servitude made seen.
My pen provides sustenance through life's pain,
and incites nothing, save what is already inside of you.
(crowd erupts)
Kill Him!!!
Many of you have told me of how my works brought light to cruel and causeless suffering.
How MY words gave hope to towns from here to the shore.
I write only because my soul is incited by the sights of your children strewn throughout the streets; it is moved because although you labor,
hunger and thirst betray you.
I write for you.
(Saychel continues)
And now, while your servant stands before you,
in the pit of the gallows
with his life in your hands,
you label me a tyrant?
A mercenary for hire?
An inflictor of the same pain you yourselves commended me for?
(man in the crowd interrupts)
Thou ART a tyrant!
It is true we commended you on your work,
we were entranced by your words.
But upon seeing your success,
built upon the pains of the people, and subsequent unrest in our streets,
it is seen that you have no interest in our welfare.
You only stand to profit from our pain.
It is better that we give your pen to Pascal,
for in your shadow, his light was made dim.
Pascal shall scribe on our affairs,
and you shall die where you stand.
(crowd erupts in applause)
Pascal! Pascal!
(Saychel's infuriated)
Be gone you Foreigner!
You praise Pascal's name only being that you were both born in the land of Premont.
You shall have no say in the affairs of this Land,
lest your words incite malice in the hearts of those I hold dear.
Pascal's light shone dim against mine being that
his heart lacks sufficient fire to ignite it any brighter!
You shall take MY pen for Pascal?
I shall give it to you freely,
along with my life,
lest you see words that inspire none!
As the sun starts to set, and the crowd dies down, the King approaches to pronounce judgement. In anticipation, the townspeople grimace with the up coming verdict with our hero's last words ringing in their ears. "Lest you see words that inspire none."
The King raises his hand, and announces his decision.....
(end scene)
nobody understands me.
p.s: It seems as if some critics from national media didn't take to well to my poem, I'd like to thank them personally for inspiring this piece.

BiographyMr Paul Feig is an actor, producer and director who is overseeing the Ghostbusters reboot, and who also directed comedy Bridesmaids, starring Kristen Wigg and Spy, featuring Melissa McCarthy and Jude Law. He has also directed episodes of The Office (the US version), Arrested Development, Nurse Jackie, Mad Men, 30 Rock and others.
Mr Feig's Recommendations
"Jean-Georges in New York. My favourite dish is the caviar egg, a hollowed out egg shell with soft scrambled eggs inside, topped with crème fraîche and a healthy spoonful of caviar. C'mon, how can that be bad?"
"Dukes Bar in London. Ian Fleming supposedly discovered the Martini here. Head barman Alessandro creates the Martinis tableside and freezes the gin (Berry Brothers No. 3 if you ask for it, which just happens to be the world's greatest gin) so that the cocktail never has to touch ice. He then adds two dashes of vermouth to the chilled glass and finishes it with a large twist of rind from an imported, thick skinned Sicilian lemon. Perfection."
"Venice in the winter. There's no crowds then and the cold weather keeps the canals from offending one's olfactory senses. And at Christmas, the decorations make it especially magical. Just being in a city that has no cars will also lower your stress level considerably. As long as you don't fall in the canal, you'll be fine. However, with all the Aperol spritzs you'll be drinking, there's a good chance you'll be canal-bound at some point."
"New York City. It sounds like a cliché but it's pretty impossible to beat. As a writer, it contains no end of inspiration. Any time I'm feeling creatively blocked, I just need to take a walk and I'm inundated with ideas and human energy. And London is a very close runner-up, for exactly the same reason."
"I love Claridge's. I've been lucky enough to stay in some of the nicest hotels in the world and loved so many of them but there's just something about Claridge's that is special. There's such a history and pageantry to the place that I'm always thrilled whenever I walk inside it. The rooms are Old World and fabulous in their timelessness. The staff is professional and attentive. And the location couldn't be better. I'm always happy when I get to stay there."
"I collect bags the way women collect purses. It drives my wife crazy. But I love bags and each one has a different function. The one I use most is a black Henri Beguelin soft leather briefcase that has handles and a shoulder strap. But I also love my small black and grey checked Louis Vuitton duffel that I carry when I need to bring more gear with me. I'm also quite fond of an old used Vuitton classic brown briefcase that I picked up in Paris that still had the business cards of the Swiss banker who sold it inside its inner pocket. I keep them in there to remind me that it can all end at any moment and I could be the next guy selling his LV bag for cash."
"I have two. Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford. I love Ralph's classic American designs and his range of styles. I especially like both his Ralph Lauren Black Label and Ralph Lauren Purple Label lines. The Black is a great European thin-cut look and the Purple is well-fitted and made with high quality materials. As for Tom Ford, I love his unique style, inspired by 1970s fashion but brought into modern day. His suits are like wearing a Rolls-Royce, made of the highest quality materials and solidly constructed. His shirts are also fantastic, fitted thin and with an Italian high-collared flair. Really gorgeous stuff."
"My black double monk-strap, cap-toe Santoni shoes. The double monk-strap really steps up any suit or pair of jeans. It immediately makes even the most casual outfit dressy. The shiny silver buckles are like cuff links for your feet. These shoes always get compliments and often take the pressure off the rest of my clothes."
"It's another cliché but I have to go with Cary Grant. He represented pure class but wore it with total ease. The clothes never controlled him. He controlled them. He wore his style like a second skin, confident and cool, commanding it the way that Jimi Hendrix used to command a guitar. Clothes were one of Cary Grant's expressions of himself, of who he was, of how he lived, of what made him great. He used style the way we all should – not as a way of trying to be other people, but of showing the world who we are."
"Factor your head into whatever you're wearing. It's easy to put on a new outfit or style and look at it in the mirror and think you look great. But make sure you look at your head sitting on top of that outfit and make sure it fits with the rest of the look. While I'm not saying you can't try to adopt the current looks at any age, I do think you need to judge the look based on how the world will see you. There's nothing worse than realising that you made a fashion blunder because you were trying to dress too young or too hip or too out of your personality. While I'm a firm believer in owning whatever style you feel like trying, take full stock of your look before you buy. What's good for one person isn't always good for another and your gut will usually tell you if what you're thinking about wearing is right for you or not."
"I've yet to get myself a personal tailor. I tend to rely on the tailors at the various stores I shop in. My feeling is that the tailors who work for a specific brand or designer are more familiar with the specifics of that make and so are better suited to alter them. I have no empirical data to back this contention up but I'll fight to the death to defend it. As you can see, I have control issues."
"I've fallen head over heels in love with Tom Ford shirts. Right off the rack, they fit beautifully. They come in both regular and slim fit and for the first time that I've ever encountered, even the regular fit feel tailored before any alterations are done on them. As opposed to every shirt I've ever bought before Tom Ford, these shirts aren't made for the man with the biggest belly first. They are nicely tapered and, as always, made from the highest quality materials."
"Again, it's a tie. I love my Ralph Lauren suits and I love my Tom Fords. Each designer fills a different function for me. The Ralphs are classic and understated and the Fords are fun and showy, while still being exceedingly elegant. It gives my wardrobe a perfect balance. And I also have a number of John Varvatos suits that help round out my closet. I love Varvatos for work. (I always wear suits when I work, whether when directing, editing or prepping a film or TV show.) They're both dressy and casual at the same time."
"I'll be honest. I never buy trousers. I either buy jeans or full suits and then use the trousers from the suits to mix and match with other coats and sports jackets."
"I like 7 For All Mankind and Citizens For Humanity. 7 For All Mankind makes a great thin-fit jean called the Slimmy which works nicely with suit jackets because of its slim cut and tapered leg. Citizens For Humanity makes a great boot cut that has a bit of elasticity to it that makes it one of the most comfortable pair of trousers I've ever worn."
"I'm a briefs guy. I used to wear boxers but frankly like a little more support down in my nether regions. I really like Calvin Klein Underwear but have also had great success with Marks & Spencer briefs. And you can't beat the price on the M&S unmentionables."
"I like a good two-button, single-breasted sports jacket. I've had great luck with Ralph Lauren on this front. I have a tweed Alpaca wool sports coat that I love that makes me look like a befuddled English professor. I also have a Ralph Lauren Purple Label black corduroy jacket with a beautiful tapered cut that I wear so much the elbows are beginning to wear away."
"I love Testoni shoes. For some reason, they fit as if they're custom-made for me. Everybody's feet are different but Testoni apparently has someone with the same feet as me who they use as their reference. Its styles can be hit or miss but when you find the right one, it's a shoe that you'll wear until it falls apart (which it seldom does)."
"Kiehl's Close-Shavers Squadron shaving cream. I shave in the shower and just the smallest amount of Kiehl's delivers a smooth shave that's almost impossible to cut yourself during. And it leaves your face feeling silky and moisturised. As someone who used to destroy his face shaving every day, believe me when I tell you that this is a game changer."
"I'll be honest. I'm not really into cars. My ideal scenario is one in which I never drive a car again for the rest of my life. But that said, if my dream car could be one that is perfectly safe no matter what, I'd drive a smart car. Honestly, a car can't be small enough as far as I'm concerned."
"I have a Panerai Luminor GMT Titanium that I love. I got it as a gift from a producer for doing work on a movie script. It's a watch I've always wanted."
"BlackBerry. As much as I love my iPad and my iPod and my iPhone and my MacBook Air, my life would fall to pieces without my BlackBerry. I've tried to quit her but can't. I do too much of my business via email, especially since I despise talking on the phone, and the BlackBerry keyboard is just too easy to use. I love my iPhone but typing on it is like having an over-attentive relative trying to second-guess everything you're saying."
"I'll probably sound like a teenager saying this but The Catcher in the Rye. It's almost like a religious text to me now. It's such an accurate portrayal of an outsider going through a transformative experience and Holden Caufield's voice is the true voice of the disaffected, the one who doesn't accept the world as it is. Reading it for the first time was one of those moments I can point to when my life changed, when I saw that the written word can be so much more than just information, that it can move you and make you think about the world in a different way. And it's a book that I can read again and again and my enjoyment of it only grows."
"I guess it would have to be Miles Davis' Bag's Groove. It's one of the few albums I love in its entirety, that I know I can put on and I'm going to enjoy every moment of. And it's one of the only albums that I can trust to entertain people at any party. To me, it's the soundtrack of being an adult and enjoying all that adult life has to offer. And speaking of adult life, who among you will now have a drink with me?"

"One, two, three, four, five," said 15-year-old Brittany Ware as she took inventory of the glinting gold medals she has accrued over a seven-year involvement with Special Olympics, an athletic organization and competition for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Twelve silver and bronze medals sat nearby waiting to be counted – as did a nest of multicolored ribbons.
The Bears now have a den of their own.
Through contributions of money, time and hard work, the Spencer County High School football team has a locker room to be proud of. After previously being assigned to the visiting locker rooms in the basketball gym, which meant a long walk from the field, their new space is bigger, closer and a source of pride.
"Until this point, our football team didn't have a true locker room," said Coach Wes Napper.
They are usually the easiest to spot on the field, but the hardest to name from the stands. These are typically the biggest, meanest and dirtiest guys on a football team, but they are also the most anonymous.
They're the offensive line and while they don't get the attention or credit of the guys who score the touchdowns, their efforts are just as important.
For Spencer County's 2010 football season, a large, seasoned line might be the team's most potent weapon.
J.D. Shelburne Band and crew will host their third annual St. Jude Charity Softball Game on Saturday August 14. JD Shelburne and his team will battle against the 97.5 WAMZ Country HAMZ softball team at Ray Jewell Park at 2 pm. Rain or shine.

Alumni game
The Spencer County High School soccer "Once a Bear ALWAYS a Bear" alumni game will be held August 13 at 6 p.m. Know a former player that would be interested in participating, contact Teresa Pfeiffer at email@example.com or 502-599-3382.
The 2010 USA Cycling Masters Road National Championship kicked off Tuesday in Taylorsville with hundreds of cyclists competing in the individual and tandem time trial event. Over 800 riders are expected to participate this week in other related events in Louisville. Cyclists, age 30 and above, are duking it out for the more than 60 national titles in the road race, criterium, and time trial events.
It could be a big 2010 for the Spencer County Bears football team.
They've got a big, experienced offensive line. They've got a big-time prospect in senior running back Erico Smith. And they've got a schedule full of big schools that will provide some challenging competition to help prepare them for the postseason.
So do those things mean fans should have big expectations? Second year head coach Wes Napper thinks that's reasonable, especially since his own expectations are pretty high.
Spencer County 15U were named runners up during a tournament July 24-25 in Bardstown. Pictured are: (front, left) Josh Ferency, Brennan Noel, Lance Shelton, Austin Heilman, (back) Chase McIntosh, Michael Vuick, Jordan Johnson,Nick Vuick,Travis Jaminson and Tyler Jaminson.
Rick Pitino strode through the valley of the shadow of humiliation last week.
As expected, Louisville's coach was more than a match for the defendant's attorney in the Karen $ypher trial. But, when asked how long his dalliance with $ypher lasted, Pitino issued a gaffe that made him into a punch line.
"Fifteen seconds."
Excuse me? Pitino had to be thinking half-court how-to with the clock running down. This remark could earn Pitino a place with the other Unforgettables who said:
"Well, I am not a crook,"
Pedal power will be on display in Spencer County next Tuesday as the U.S. Cycling Master's National Time Trial Championships are held here for the second consecutive year.
Troy Killian, director of operations for the Louisville Sports Commission, said the event will return to Taylorsville because of its success last year, when nearly 1,000 riders showed up for a 14-mile timed event.
"Last year was very successful. We had great cooperation from everyone out there and the athletes really enjoyed it."

Hi Marcel,
Hope alls well in the WFTL bytes household!
I would be interested (in a future show) for your take on Mono.
To me Mono "Sponsored by Novell" has warning signals all over it. We all are aware of the famous MS deal, and I doubt very much Novell will go against MS again (due to it caving in to patent power before) So why would MS allow Novell to sponsor Mono, unless there is some other plan at work here.
Like I say, Id love to hear your take on it. I find your opinions well balanced and it would be interesting to hear from somebody who is "more in the know" than I am.
Kind regards

ISU boss has driven skating toward a ditch
ISU boss has driven skating toward a ditch
Figure skating is not going to improve in popularity in the U.S. until the major networks start carrying competitions and not just the fluff Smuckers or whatever contrived skating shows. Skating and Gymnastics, for example - what a joke!!!! Signing a contract with Universal Sports has just about done us all in. VERY few people can get that channel and it's cost prohibitive.
Interesting article though, but I'm not ready to send flowers to the funeral yet!
I've said it and I will say it again.
Either the scoring system gets simplified and judging anonymity ends, thereby making the sport more transparent and accessible to fans, or the sport will die.
The people in charge of the sport do not want it to be more transparent and accessible, because they are corrupt and relish their ability to fix the results.
And that is why the ISU continues to drive figure skating towards the ditch.
Usual anti Russian overtones from Hersh.
The US fed needs to develop better skaters. And I feel the US fed and US media has made skating too American centric and doing this at a time when the American team is pretty weak is like poison.
Its as if in America other countries do not exist
And I don't see Dick Button as the savior of anything. He is very self serving imo and cares mostly about being an alarmist and selling books.
But it's true that US team hasn't produced a star skater (especially a lady) for a while.
Charlie White and Meryl Davis surely help US team a lot this season. What a pity they will retire soon.
On the other hand, Russia and Japan all have young skaters with star quality. It doesn't mean they have to win all the time, but the popularity of FS surely depends much on the stars.
Actually I think it's the controversies that attract more viewers. Remember Tonya Harding?
Cinq is only a part of the problem.
I'm sorry but using a picture of Putin and Cinquanta together, in an article about judges and skating going toward a ditch?
There is one obvious conclusion only.
I do agree that the US media is too American centric about skating. Not having very good skaters as they used to have is their fault, to begin with. They better start fixing that, and I see some good work with the ladies and maybe with the men too.
I do not think that not having American strong skaters is the end of FS. It's a big loss certainly, IMO, because it's a big country, big Federation with a huge tradition (at least in singles) so I think it's good for FS to have the big countries competitive, but I didn't heard or read the same "concerns" about "the end of FS" just because Russia was going downhill from 2006 till now.
Just out of curiosity. Is there any article, from these big journalist and experts, where they do criticise their own country for not doing enough for their FS?
People pretend the judges to be machines, they request from them to be dispassionate about it.
They can't and we can't. Nobody can, because this is a sport combined with art.
You CAN NOT be dispassionate about art. This much I know for sure.
Personally I think at best we can only be 60% objective. It should be great if we have no favorite. But then again, if we have no favorite, how can we continue following this sport? It's not easy.
There are lots of people had no deep thoughts at the moment it happened. Then again, several days/weeks/months latter they say "no, it should be that way". I mean, figure skating is the sport of "moment", it only means at the exactly moment alone, all the wins and placements, even the scores. They only have meaning relating to that exact moment.

Tom's & Douglas's Barns - Self-catering in Derbyshire
Orchard Farm, Parwich, Ashbourne, Derbyshire
England, United Kingdom
Come for birdsong, glorious Peak District views and to stay in cosy boltholes for two. The sheds where farmer Tom once housed his cows are now stylish barns filled with interesting artwork and furniture. The 18th-century exterior walls largely remain, but now light floods through velux windows in each roof and sage green shutters contrast with the creamy stone. Thoughtful Angela bakes a cake for your arrival, subscribes to magazines for both barns and provides free logs for the wood-burner in Tom's Barn. Douglas's Barn is full of quirky charm; sink into the chocolate-coloured leather sofa, consult the huge wall map to plot your next big walk. There's a homely kitchen stocked with Denby crockery and a spiral staircase leading to a romantic bedroom. Original wooden beams endure in Tom's Barn, a snug retreat with colourful paintings on the walls and an airy double-height sitting room. Wedgwood is the crockery of choice in the country-style kitchen here, while you can stargaze through the skylights from the comfort of your king-sized bed. Wonderful walks and cycle rides are on your doorstep.

Young died Tuesday at the age of 90, a WWE representative told E!
"There will never be another Mae Young," said WWE Chairman Vince McMahon in a statement. "Her longevity in sports entertainment may never be matched, and I will forever be grateful for all of her contributions to the industry. On behalf of WWE, I extend out sincerest condolences to her family and friends."
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson took to Twitter Thursday to share his thoughts on Young.
"She's a wrestling pioneer. I truly had deep affection & respect for 'Aunty Mae' Young. RIP. #IMissUMae," wrote Johnson.
Young's first bout was in 1939, and in 2000, she was crowned "Miss Royal Rumble," at the age of 77. In 2008, she was the third woman to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. In March 2013, WWE stars and fans celebrated her 90th birthday live on Monday Night Raw.
She is hailed as "one of the original WWE Divas," by WWE.com.

geno took a header into the boards at camp today. they were working one-on-one's in the last session of practice and freecandy was working geno as he broke down the side boards. they got tangled up as geno sliced to the crease, and what resulted hushed mellon arena like i've never heard before (granted there were only a couple hundred fans there… but still). geno took a full-on into the end boards. seemed to absorb the impact with his right shoulder and right side. he laid on the ice for a second or two, got to a knee, and was slow to get up. he appeared to skate it off, but he didn't look the same every other one-on-one he took. me = concerned. some that were at mellon, too, may say it didn't look that bad. and neither did crosby's when he went in. geno didn't play the same the rest of practice.

Rice's First Career Double-Double Leads Colonials Past UMBC, 72-51

Job layoffs, bankrupted businesses and countless residential foreclosures are having a negative effect on the teenage population, who will begin their adult lives in a world unlike the one in which they were raised.
Though kids may feel isolated and alone, several inexpensive or free teen outreach programs are available for Santa Clarita Valley youth.
SCV Youth Project receives student referrals from teachers and counselors. Kim Goldman, executive director, and her team work at secondary-school campuses to help avert teen-centered trouble.
"We work with students who have changed recently for one reason or another," Goldman said. "We meet with them one time and determine whether they want to talk. If they do, we meet with them on a weekly basis."
The Child and Family Center has three locations in Santa Clarita and offers several mental health outreach programs.
Kids are referred to the center by parents, schools and physicians, said Lois Bauccio, executive director of the Child and Family Center.
"So many of our clients are on Medi-Cal or Medicare," she said. "Those are often the first people who become unemployed."
Bauccio said the center helps 650 kids a week deal with mental and behavioral issues.
"Stephanie" and "Cindy" are two of the center's success stories. They both found mental health help at the Child and Family Center and subsequent hope for their futures. Their names were changed for privacy.
Stephanie is a success story because she turned to the Child and Family Center after her mother, a drug addict unable to parent, turned the 13-year-old over to her aunt.
During that upheaval, Stephanie struggled with a host of personal and social issues that kept her from succeeding in school or life. But after treatment, Stephanie was able to graduate high school and continue on with college.
Cindy was a teen whose mother reached out for help after finding her daughter cutting herself with sharp instruments. Cutting was Cindy's emotional coping mechanism.
Though treatment took time, Cindy's mother was much relieved when her daughter finally stopped cutting herself.
The Santa Clarita Valley isn't the perfect Shangri-La parents often hope for, Goldman said, adding that truthful communication with teens is the best way to redirect potentially self-abusive behavior.
Depression, drugs and alcohol abuse are common themes during student interaction, and parents and teens often don't talk to each other, she said. The SCV Youth Project's goals include listening and providing honest feedback.
"(Santa Clarita) is a youth-focused, youth-friendly area, but it doesn't mean that stuff doesn't happen here," Goldman said.
And that's why ACTION, a parent-teen support group, exists. Because stuff happens.
Cary Quashen, executive director of ACTION, a parent-teen support group, has a passion for reaching out to teens and their parents who are having trouble.
"We believe there are no bad kids, just kids who make bad choices," Quashen said.
Quashen also serves as executive director of Behavioral Health Services at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital and is always on alert for kids who need help.
ACTION holds parent-teen support-group meetings Tuesdays at Saugus High School, at which parents and teens can learn about each other's emotional issues.
The Boys & Girls Club of the Santa Clarita Valley has three locations where kids can go to interact with positive adult role models as well as peers struggling through the same kind sof problems.
More than 3,500 young people between the ages of 7 and 17 enjoy a wide variety of programs, including education and career exploration, the arts, sports, recreation and fitness, character and leadership development and healthy life choices.
"We provide opportunities for young people to learn, explore, contribute and grow in a safe environment supervised by trained and dedicated staff members," the club's Web site says.
Led by Chief Professional Officer Jim Ventress, the club's mission is to inspire and enable young people to reach their full potential as responsible, productive, healthy and caring adults.

An alleged assault by a student at Lasalle Community Comprehensive high school has left a 12-year-old boy with his mouth wired shut for at least the next two months. Some of his teeth were knocked out and his chin and jaw are broken.
Kyle Mcwhirter was allegedly choked, until he passed out, during a physical altercation with a classmate — a boy his mother calls a bully.
Crystal McWhirter says, what's worse, is her son spent an hour in the office before being taken to the hospital and the school didn't call police.
"My son Kyle could have lost his life! And that's why I want this story to be heard, I want people to know that violence in schools is not being taken seriously, something needs to be done," she said.
The principal of the school denies the allegation that McWhirter was targeted calling the incident "horsing around". The principal also suggests school officials acted swiftly and responsibly.
Meanwhile the mother of the alleged attacker suggests, on Facebook, that her son is the one who was being bullied and that McWhirter initiated the altercation.
