If you look at the list of competitors at worlds, a large number of them have included quads in their programs, so the Risk issue is big for all of them doing this, including Bradley. And the risk to the non-quadders is that they now look the way Jason Brown looked at Jr. Worlds: a guy who's a good skater, but doesn't have the big required jump (3A in juniors). Americans, Canadians, Russian, French, and all the Japanese all have quad jump skaters. Who is going to be trying to sell the skills of the non-quadders this year? Americans with a foot in both camps? Support from the French for Amodio over Joubert? (and Amodio says he will be doing a quad?) Canadians supporting Sawyer over Chan ?
Chan, SP&LP
Joubert, SP&LP
Verner, LP
Kozuka, LP
Oda, SP&LP
Bradley, SP & LP
Takahashi, SP&LP
van der Perren, SP&LP
Gachinski, SP&LP
Fernandez, LP
Schultheiss, SP&LP
Viktor Pfeifer, LP
Amodio now plans a quad
and even some alternates have shown quads this year
Guan of China LP (alternate)
Menshov (RUS) SP&LP (alternate)
and of course Kevin Reynolds SP&LP (alternate)
Those not trying a quad in the SP or LP
So I see the men's as a crap shoot from a predictions point of view, with Bradley being the wildest of the wildcards there.
In fact Bradley's risk of not landing his quad in the SP is lower than, for example, Takahashi's of landing his 4F (or 4T) . Why? Well, as Bradley said, he has been doing that SP all year in shows in rinks with very dark spotlights, in rinks made 40 foot short, in rinks with a huge Christmas tree in the middle of the rink for that matter. And he threw a quad in his Willy Wonka exhibition piece under spotlights. And two quads in each of the warmups for SP and LP. Not to mention in his practices. In previous years, it's been his 3A that has given him trouble-althought it didn't at US Nationals this year. Plus there's nothing particularly questionable about his choreo to Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, a piece that many skaters and dancers have used over the years (including Delobel and Schoenfelder's OD to it, for that matter, which had its questionable moments). Bradley's BWB is just a soldier out dancing & having a good time. I fail to see the objection to this number.
It's his LP that looked unpracticed at US Nationals, because it was, and that's where I expect him to have problems. If he places high enough in the SP, he might well make top 6th to 10th, just because placing well in the SP often has that effect (same as Messing at Jr. Worlds, a skater who bombed the LP, and whose LP choreo was questionable.)

In any case, CONGRATS TO MATHMAN FOR HIS HITTING 20,000 POSTS !!!!!!
Sorry to keep OT, but MM's average is 2,580 posts a year, which is about 7 posts a day, rain or shine!!
I love Ryan, but in no universe, even the "What do you want to see" universe, would I suggest Chan is battling Bradley (or vice versa), except in their beard growing project.
"Perfect" Scenarios:
1) All 10's for all PCS marks from all judges, all jump passes getting full base value (ie, no "<", no "<<", no "e") and those jumps being those "expected" in that group (so ladies 3+3 and/or 3A and men at least 1 quad+3A in SP and 2 quads and 2 3As in LP), all spins graded at level 4, called step sequence graded at level 4 and all GOEs for jumps, spins, graded and choreographic step sequences getting a +3 GOE from every judge. NOTE: This has NEVER happened
2) PCS marks significantly higher than other skaters because he/she has skated their best and is clearly the class of the field across the board, all jump passes getting full base value and of the expectations of that group, all spins graded at least L3, called step sequence at least level 3 and no negative GOE for any item (all jumps, spins, step sequences 0 or higher)
3) PCS marks significantly higher than other skaters because he/she clearly outskated the field across the board, no visible defects on jumps that are considered "expected" (but maybe a small bobble on a couple landings that a couple judges catch, but full BVs), all spins graded at least L3, called step sequence at least level 3 and only a small smattering of negative GOEs.
4) PCS marks significantly higher than other skaters because he/she clearly outskated the field, no falls or pops, maybe one jump that upon review was deemed 70% but nothing clearly visible with jump content considered "expected", spins graded at least L3, called steps at least 2 and only a small smattering of negative GOEs mostly confined to the "<" jump
5) PCS marks significantly higher than other skaters because he/she clearly outskated the field, no falls or pops, "safe" jump content, spins graded at least L3, called steps at least 2, very small smattering of negative GOEs...
Which definition of perfect are we going with?
1. Joesitz, please point to a poster that stated that there is something wrong with clean programs. Otherwise thats a straw man argument.
2. Youre the one that went from predicting Gachinski without facts to supporting Chan as a possible podium contender without stating I was wrong. Is that what youre accusing here : or do we suck up our wrong opinions and hide them?
3. To restate my opinion
a. Im either non-plussed (Dornbush, Miner) or actively dont care for (Bradley) by the American world team. So how I hope they do is entirely based on the consequences on how they do (both on the podium/rankings and next season)
b. Consequently, I hope the American men are able to get two spots. Why? Three spots means that the people Im rooting for didnt skate well (Amodio, Brezina, Chan, Contesti, Fernandez, Joubert, Kozuka, Oda, Schlutheiss, Takahashi). I originally hoped for one spot, but again, that hope was predicated on the notion that dropping from three to one spot would force the federation to re-evaluate/change. However, if no change would come, then Im not particularly rooting against the trio. Despite my feelings, I think the breadth is too strong to allow for only one entrant at worlds.
Dornbush and Miner are Newbies and not expected to be on the podium.
Bradley won the US championship and is ipso facto the odds on favorite to be considered America's best
Amodio's bumps and grinds don't amuse me. I saw them all 40 years ago.
Brezina is one of the few skaters with the flow of the music but he has been away far too long.
I consider Oda the best of the Japanese men, but I would not be surprised if all three compete with Chan for the podium.
Joubert might podium for sentimental reason.
If I am overlapping contestants for the podium, it's because the Field is HOT and if there is no meltdown, predictions can only be made on favorite nationalities.

Timothy Allen Cregg, the father-killer now charged with beating his puppy with a hammer, slashing its throat and throwing it still alive in a trash bin for chewing a comforter, will have his mental competency evaluated.
Cregg, 48, faces a felony charge of animal killing or torture.
Cregg allegedly beat his five-month-old pit-bull puppy repeatedly in the head with a hammer and slashed its throat before discarding it Oct. 28 in a metal trash bin near his home in the 800 block of West Laketon Avenue in Muskegon. Police said he told them he was upset because the puppy had chewed a comforter.
The puppy had to be euthanized because of the severity of its injuries.
Muskegon County 14th Circuit Judge James M. Graves Jr. on Thursday signed an order referring Cregg for forensic examination, meaning psychiatric exam. The defense and prosecution agreed to the order.
State-appointed experts will evaluate Cregg to determine whether he's competent to stand trial and whether he was "criminally responsible" — legally sane — at the time of his alleged crime.
Such examinations typically take many months. It's expected to result in more incarceration time for Cregg than if he pleaded guilty as charged.
That's because his state sentencing guidelines are expected to be so low, based on his history of no prior felony convictions, that his conviction would likely result in a sentence of only a few months in the Muskegon County Jail.
That's true despite the fact that Cregg shot his father to death in 1983 and dumped his body in a rural ditch.
Cregg has no conviction from that confessed killing because he was found "not guilty by reason of insanity" based on a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia with delusions.
The shotgun slaying happened March 18, 1983. Cregg killed his 42-year-old father, Emanuel Cregg Sr. of Dalton Township.
On Dec. 6, 1983, then-Muskegon County Circuit Judge R. Max Daniels found Timothy Cregg not guilty by reason of insanity and ordered him to spend an indefinite period of time in "an appropriate (state) psychiatric institution." Authorities said Cregg was released from the hospital in 2003.

From Manuscript to Performance:
The Metepec Villancicos of Antonio de Salazar
Sherrill B. L. Blodget
The goal of my session today is to present a performance of three unpublished villancicos by Mexican Baroque composer Antonio de Salazar (1650–1715), and to discuss some of the challenges I encountered while preparing performance editions of them. 1 It is my hope that highlighting these issues, and demonstrating our solutions, will shed some light on performance of the Baroque villancico in general. The finished editions will be published through the University of Arizona and made available to choral ensembles for performance.
Introduction to Antonio Salazar and the Metepec Villancicos
Antonio Salazar served as maestro de capilla at Puebla Cathedral from 1679–1688, and at the Mexico City Cathedral from 1688 until the end of his life. He was an extremely prolific composer of motets, masses, hymns, Te Deums, and villancicos, including a number of settings of poetry by Sor Juana Inéz de la Cruz. Despite his renown, few of his works have yet been published. The Metepec villancicos, named for the Chapel in which they were found in San Diego, Metepec near Puebla, Mexico, are manuscript copies of three of Salazar's villancicos. The copy dates on the manuscripts are 1771 and 1773, but the original dates of composition have not been determined. The manuscript copies were originally transcribed in 1984 by Wayne Moss, director of the Texas Baroque Ensemble. In preparing performance editions of these pieces I used Dr. Moss's transcriptions as a reference as well as working directly from the manuscript copies.
Issues in Transcribing and Creating Editions
In preparing editions of the villancicos, a number of challenges arose. Some of these are common to any Baroque transcription project, while others are more particular to the Latin American Baroque and the Salazar Manuscripts. In dealing with the text, there were three areas that presented problems. First, I found inconsistencies in underlay and spellings. There were a number of instances in the manuscripts in which the text or underlay differed between parts, offering contrasting poetic interpretations and text settings. Though it is possible that Salazar intended for there to be concurrent multiple texts, it is more likely that the scribe who copied the works, made mistakes. In these cases, I examined each part and picked the one that was most consistent, and which made the most poetic sense.
Second, I noticed the use of old spellings in general. There were many instances of 17th Century Spanish spellings, which differ from modern spellings, at times making it difficult to understand the words. In the editions I used modern Spanish spellings to make them more accessible to the modern performer. Figure 1, which shows four examples from Al salir el sol, demonstrates these issues with differences in the spelling of "espejo" "tributa" and "union," and the use of "brillar"in the tiple voices and "arbol" in the tenor.
Figure 1. Four examples of text settings from Al Salir el Sol , mm. 28-30; 49-51
Tiple 1: Son espejo a su brillar con que en dulce union,
Su fragransia trivuta, trivuta el pensil
Tiple 2: Sun espexo a su brillar, con que en dulse union,
En el sol su fragransia trivota trivota el pensil.
Tenor: Son espexo a su arbol, con que dulse unio, con que dulce,
Su fragransia tributa tributa el pensil.
Alto: Sonn espexo a su arbol. Con que en dulse unio.
Perhaps the biggest challenge with the text is the translation. The combination of Old Spanish, allegorical texts, and the inconsistencies between the parts, made translating the works very difficult. I worked with a number of scholars including Francisco Grijalva, Susan Tattershall, and one of our students, Ernesto Amaya, to create the best translations possible. Clearly it is important for the performers to understand what they are singing, as well as for the audience to know what they are hearing. The editions will include notes about the meaning of the more metaphorical sections.
As with the text, the manuscripts contained instances of inconsistencies between parts in the use of accidentals, and in some cases harmonies that appeared to be too uncharacteristic of Salazar to be correct. In these cases I used the context within each piece and a general knowledge of Baroque harmony to determine an acceptable solution.
As is common to most Baroque villancicos, the manuscripts contained un-texted bass parts designated as acompañamiento. None of these contained figures or ficta indicating harmonies for realization. As Robert Stevenson noted in his "Christmas Music from Baroque Mexico," the continuo realization would have followed seventeenth century rules, but differed based on the instrument used to play it, for example, guitar, harp, organ. I provided a suggested continuo realization in the editions that would work for organ or harpsichord, the latter most appropriate in Victoria por el Silencio.
Vocal Forces and Range
As mentioned, the Metepec villancicos contained un-texted bass parts. However, although an SSAT voicing is common in this repertoire, there are exceptions. I believe the case must be examined in the context of each piece, which I did in making these decisions for the Metepec villancicos (see my solutions, below).
Another question, which must be addressed either in creating an edition or in performing from one, is whether to transpose the parts. The argument for transposing includes the following two points. First, there is evidence that many of the Baroque Latin American villancicos would have been performed a fourth below where they are notated. The ranges and tessituras of the written parts are often very high, particularly for modern tenor. Second, if one is doubling the vocal lines with instruments, modern instruments have different ranges and capabilities than the original ones, and may be far easier to play in different keys.
Solutions for the Metepec villancicos
It should be noted that while every effort was made to maintain the integrity of Salazar's intentions based on the evidence in each score, editorial decisions do reflect the typical make up of the modern SATB choir, in an effort to make performance of these pieces more accessible. For example:
Al Salir el Sol: Manuscript parts: SSAT and acompañamiento.
Edition/performance: SSAT, Acompto; at notated pitch.
Al Coronarse Reyna: Manuscript parts: SAT and acompañamiento.
Edition/performance: SATB, Acompto; G Maj—P4 lower than notated.
Victoria Por El Silencio:Manuscript parts: T solo, SATB, acompañamiento.
Edition/performance: T, SATB, Acompto; G Maj--P4 lower than notated.
Al Salir el Sol
The manuscript parts were for SSAT, with the continuo part essentially doubling the tenor an octave below. This doubling was a good indication that the tenor was intended to be the lowest vocal part, and thus I ultimately scored the edition for SSAT. However, in our performance I included two basses to give the choral sound more depth. The ranges in Al Salir were not particularly demanding, and the key was fine for our instrumental accompaniment of recorders and sackbuts. I therefore left the key as the original, G major.
A Coronarse Reyna
The manuscripts were scored for SAT and continuo. In contrast to Al Salir, the continuo part did not double the tenor line, but was fully independent. Due to this difference, and the fact that SAT pieces were not particularly common in the repertoire, I scored the edition for SATB, placing the text underlay in the bass part as it fit logically. I also made the decision to score A Coronarse down a perfect fourth in the edition, placing it in G major, largely due to the high tessitura of the original soprano and tenor parts, and to make it possible to double on recorders. This did cause an issue for the bass part, which then lies very low.
Victoria Por el Silencio
The manuscripts included a specifically designated Bajo part in addition to the acompañamiento part. Though it was un-texted, the Bajo part was not doubled by the Continuo. By all indications, it represented a separate bass vocal part. Therefore, I included a bass part in the score, placing the text underlay to correspond with the other parts. As with A Coronarse, I transposed Victoria down a perfect fourth due to the high tessituras in all parts.
My discussion thus far has been directed at decisions that must be made when creating a transcription or an edition from a manuscript. In the majority of cases however, choral ensembles will be working from published editions of one sort or another. I would like now to touch on some performance decisions that will still need to be addressed to bring those editions to performance.
Other than the possibility of transposing down a perfect fourth, which is in keeping with the noted Spanish tradition, the final decision of whether to transpose will rest with the abilities of the choir and the instrumentation used. Because pitch was a relative thing in the Baroque conductors may assume some leeway without drastically altering the composer's original intent.
Vocal Forces
In considering vocal forces, we need to ask if the singers were men, women, boys, or a combination thereof. Many of the New World choirs likely consisted of men and boys, and Stevenson, Russell and others have demonstrated that some villancicos would have been performed in convents. Indeed, some of Salazar's manuscripts contain the names of singing nuns written on the parts, and he is known to have taught in the Trinity Convent in Puebla (Stevenson 1974). Therefore, the use of women's voices for the soprano and alto parts is very acceptable.
Despite the Baroque tradition of having one voice per part, there are a number of reasons to assume there may have been more singers performing the villancicos. For one thing, the alternation of copla and estribillo sections textually suggest a contrast in number of voice parts, which would be heightened by having more than one singer on a part in the estribillo. Secondly, descriptions in the Cathedral records indicate there were fairly large choirs in Puebla and Mexico City, and describe villancico performances as large events and spectacles, both of which suggest more singers were involved. Based on the evidence, I concluded that a smaller ensemble is ideal, with one to a few voices on the copla lines, and more on the estribillo sections.
Were there instruments involved? Until later in the Baroque, most villancico manuscripts did not indicate specific instrumentation, or obbligato parts. However, literary descriptions of the villancicos, Cathedral pay rosters, Capitular Acts, and musicological evidence clearly suggest the Baroque villancicos were accompanied colla parte or improvisationally by instrumentalists. In a discussion of recordings in "Christmas Music in Baroque Mexico," Stevenson argues that unaccompanied performances are unauthentic and states that "the villancicos of Salazar...presuppose an orchestral accompaniment, and the vocal parts therefore represent only a skeleton" (Stevenson 1974: 143)
An extant list of the instruments available in the Mexico City Cathedral in 1691 includes: violin, treble viol, tenor viol, rebeck, bandore, cittern, marine trumpet, harp, clarion, trumpet, trombone (sackbut), double-reed chirimía (shawm), organ, and bajón (bassoon). Recorders, zither, dulcian, and cornetts have been listed in other documents. Further confirmation of the use of these instruments can be found one of Sor Juana's villancico texts set by Salazar in 1691. Instrumentalists typically played multiple instruments, and a variety of combinations would likely have been used for different sections of the villancicos. Stevenson specifically suggested that timbres may have been varied on the coplas.
With modern performances for programs that do not have shawms, dulcians, and viols available, adjustments must be made, keeping the above principals in mind. In this performance, we are using recorders, sackbuts, rackett, and bass viol as colla parte instruments. The choice of which to use for which piece was based on the affect of the particular piece.
A final instrumental decision to be made will be what to use for the continuo group. The most typical Baroque continuo instruments in Mexico and Spain were harp, vihuela, organ, viol, and bassoon. In an article on the villancico in High Baroque Spain, Thomas Taylor suggests that one of the reasons for such portable continuo instruments was that the villancicos were often performed as processionals through the city streets on the way to the Cathedral during feast days (Taylor 1984).
In our performance we use cross-strung harp, organ, harpsichord, and viola da gamba. While the use of harpsichord is not described as typical, I felt that Victoria por el Silencio, as a battle villancico, needed a more percussive sound in the continuo. As we did not have guitars available for this performance, the harpsichord provides a better substitute than the organ for this particular piece.
Length and Order
Two final performance considerations that must be made are whether to repeat the estribillo between each copla and whether to perform all verses. Originally the villancicos were part of festivals or services, and lyrics were made available as pliegos suletos and the audience or congregation may even have had the text in hand. (Laird 1997:52) 2 Therefore, participants in the past were listening to the whole story as well as the music, perhaps while processing to the Chapel. For today's audiences, however, even with changes in instrumentation, the musical repetition can make the performance of an entire villancico a bit long to listen to. In addition, it is not always clear from the manuscripts when and how
often the estribillo would have been repeated throughout the villancico, though fairly clear that they would be heard at the beginning and end.
With this in mind, I made the decision to sing the estribillos at the beginning and the end, and to perform only two of the coplas for each villancico, but to print the entire text in the program.
1. This article represents a consolidation of information presented on January 19, 2007 at the International Symposium on Latin American Choral Music at the University of Arizona. This presentation was followed by a live performance of three villancicos of Antonio Salazar titled Victoria por el Silencio, A Coronarse Reyna, and Al Salir el Sol, performed by member of the UA Collegium and the Viola da Gamba Society of Southern Arizona. For a program with the complete list of performers and selections performed see figure 2.
2. Stevenson writes, quoting Lothar G. Siemans Hernandez (1968): Before the performances began, the choirboys [...] passed out to the assembled crowd printed texts of the carols to be sung at the hours of nocturns, so that the public could follow the music and better appreciate the details of the ofen involved poetic texts. At times, these printed libretti for the villancico-cycles were even dropped from the dome in some churches, along with flower petals and colored paper birds." (Stevenson 1974:25)

2008 E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Blanc Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph
Producer: E. Guigal
Style: White Wine
Grape Type: Marsanne
Origin: France
Region: Rhone
Appellation: Saint Joseph
91 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January/February 2010
($52; 97% marsanne and 3% roussanne planted on granite) Vivid gold. Good energy to the aromas of Meyer lemon, pit fruits, white flowers and brown spices. Fatter and denser than the basic bottling but with more vivacity as well. The orange and peach flavors show good depth and persistence, along with a touch of warmth. This has a bit more richness and palate presence than the normale, even if a touch of warmth on the finish distracts from the fruit slightly. This was raised in 100% new barriques but wears its oak lightly.

I'M SITTING with Michael Ryan Lawrence at the bar of the Point No Point Republican Club on Orthodox Street in Bridesburg. "They put these cushions on the stools for some of the older members," he explains.
We settle in with a couple of pints. He tells me his story.
He's a former Daily News delivery boy, the son of a firefighter, who grew up around the corner on Garden Street. He attended All Saints School, then North Catholic, then went to Penn State to major in journalism before joining the Marine Corps.
"I was like Joker in 'Full Metal Jacket,' " Lawrence said. Behind him, a black-and-white photograph of the Corps' greatest hero, Lt. Gen. Lewis "Chesty" Puller, hangs on a wall.

By Jeff Brumley
Barbecues, trips to the mountains, visits to the beach or just relaxing in the backyard are options for many pastors during the summer. But not those who find themselves and their congregations at ground zero of recent major disasters.
They are instead weighed down with organizing relief and rebuilding in addition to pastoral and preaching duties that never stopped for killer tornadoes or fertilizer plant explosions.
"Looking back, I don't know if there ever was a possibility of taking time off," said Phil Immicke, associate pastor of First Baptist Church in West, Texas.
West is where a fertilizer plant blew up in April, killing 15 residents, injuring 200 and destroying around 150 homes. Ever since, First Baptist has been the hub of daily demolition and rebuilding efforts headed by Immicke and Pastor John Crowder.
They got some help from the Baptist General Convention of Texas, which brought in nearly 650 volunteers in June to help with debris clearing and lawn maintenance.
While the "Loving West" helped Crowder and Immicke focus their efforts on demolishing ruined homes, it also made the church busier than ever.
"We've been active since day one," Crowder said in June while the project was underway. At the time, Crowder guessed his first real break from the activity would not be until September, when he is scheduled to undergo knee surgery.
Immicke, who works nights as a Waco police officer, said he's had some time off here and there but largely tries to avoid that. "When I did take rest, I would wake up and be behind the curve on certain things, especially with the demolition," Immicke said.
But disaster-response experts say people – and pastors – can only take so much and often must be forced to take down time during hectic situations.
"In chaplaincy and responder training, you learn you have to take care of number one first, or you will become part of the situation yourself," said Tommy Deal, disaster-response coordinator for the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
Deal said he learned the lesson firsthand shortly after Hurricane Katrina as he was helping organize response in Hattiesburg, Miss. He became so overwhelmed by the need and hours of work that he soon found himself hiding out at University Baptist Church.
"I called a friend in Orlando and had to … ask him to pray for me and I ended up crying," Deal said. "I just had to release some things (and) take care of myself."
In Norman, Okla., NorthHaven Church Pastor Mitch Randall said he may have been trending toward burnout after the May 20 twister that hit nearby communities, including Moore.
"We went non-stop for two weeks, but what happened here in the Oklahoma City area was … a swell of volunteers," Randall said. "So we began to take periodic breaks because of the swell of volunteers."
Randall said church members actually discussed recognizing the importance of Sabbath during disaster recovery.
"You can't help anyone if you are out of it," he said. "The first person you have to minister to sometimes is yourself."

Environmental and Natural Resource Stewardship Program
The Environmental and Natural Resource Stewardship program is a groundbreaking cooperative partnership between Phoenix College and the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to provide PC students with a strong knowledge base and highly transferable analytical skills in the area of environmental and natural resource stewardship.
Started in 2009, the program's mission is to develop and internalize the values of civic engagement as it relates to land and environmental conservation through interdisciplinary studies and field experiences. The program partners with several organizations to provide internship and employment opportunities for students.
Students may earn the ENRS Academic Certificate in six courses. That coursework can be applied to an Associate's degree and/or transfer to a university. Transfer agreements are in place with Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, University of Arizona and Prescott College.
The rapidly growing environmental and natural resource stewardship field has experienced heavy turnover as older workers retire, particularly government employees. By supporting and motivating youth from underrepresented populations to participate in this workforce, the program seeks to bridge the gap between urban youth and employers seeking skilled workers in this field.
In addition to the BLM, partners in the program include the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Arizona State Parks, Maricopa County Parks and Recreation, U.S. Forest Service, Student Conservation Association, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and Audubon Arizona.
Since 2010, the ENRS program has hosted an open house at Phoenix College featuring representatives from partnership organizations. The fairs have brought together employers and students to provide information about careers, internships, and educational opportunities.
For more information on the ENRS program, visit www.phoenixcollege.edu/enrs or email ENRS Partnership Coordinator Sean Whitcomb at firstname.lastname@example.com

Southwest Airlines Co., which came to Philadelphia in 2004 with the promise of friendly service and lower fares, will end daily nonstop flights to Raleigh-Durham, N.C., on March 8.
Only US Airways Group Inc. will fly that route, with nine weekday nonstops to Raleigh-Durham. Passengers can expect ticket prices to rise.
Southwest has retreated in Philadelphia, and in January eliminated nonstop service to Pittsburgh; Providence, R.I.; Manchester, N.H.; and Jacksonville, Fla. In February, Southwest ended service from Philadelphia to Boston.

Firefighters and emergency medical crews were dispatched to Louise's Diner in Union Township today around 5:30 p.m. for a report of smoke showing in the building.
The building was being evacuated, according to unconfirmed radio reports, which also said the smoke may have been because of an electrical fire. The odor of smoke was in the building and the electricity was shut off, according to the reports.
Volunteers from Pattenburg and Clinton units were among those sent to the small eatery, which is just at 18 Route 173, just west of Clinton.
The diner is next to the Clinton Truck Stop.

Burnt Sugar Ice CreamJulieVR
Given the choice, I'd choose ice cream over cake any day. And since today is the 119th anniversary of the ice cream sundae, I do believe I'll celebrate with some. I've turned into somewhat of an ice cream snob, however – I'm not typically a fan of small appliances and gadgety things in the kitchen, but I adore my ice cream machine. It cranks out divine ice cream for a fraction of the cost of even the cheap stuff. And why spend those calories on anything but the best? If you're going to eat ice cream, it may as well be fantastic.
You could start with simply cream sweetened with honey, maple syrup or sugar, or do it properly and make a simple custard to chill and freeze. This burnt sugar ice cream is made with a custard base, made by whisking cream and egg yolks on the stovetop until thickened. The addition of burnt sugar gives it a caramel flavor and color with more of an edge than the usual sugary caramel or butterscotch – it's like caramel with personality.
Burnt Sugar Ice Cream
adapted (and simplified) from the Martha Stewart Living Cookbook
1 cup + 3 Tbsp. sugar
a few drops of lemon juice (optional-to keep the sugar from crystallizing)
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups whole milk or half & half
6 large egg yolks
Put 1 cup of the sugar into a medium saucepan (one big enough to ultimately accommodate all the ingredients, keeping in mind that the cream will bubble up when you add it) and set it over medium-high heat. If you like, add a few drops of lemon juice this will help keep the sugar from crystallizing, but it's not necessary.
Let it sit until the sugar begins to melt, then swirl the pan occasionally, watching carefully so that it doesn't burn (don't stir it) until the sugar melts completely and then turns a deep amber. Remove from heat and whisk in the cream it will sputter and froth, and some of the sugar will solidify that's OK. Put the pot back on the heat, turn it down to medium and add the milk or half & half and cook for a few minutes, until the sugar is completely melted. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and remaining 3 Tbsp. sugar. Whisk in some of the hot burnt sugar cream, pouring it in a thin stream and whisking vigorously so as to not cook the egg yolks. Add about a quarter of it, then pour the egg yolk mixture back into the pot, pouring and whisking the same way. Put the pot back over medium heat and cook, stirring almost constantly, until it starts to bubble and thicken, and has the texture of thin custard (it should coat the back of a spoon that is, leave a trail if you run your finger through it). Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (I lay it directly on the surface to avoid getting a "skin"), and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
Freeze according to your ice cream machine's directions. And try to share.

Quarterback Shuffle
The Ecstasy of Being New York Jets Quarterback Joe Namath—and the Agony of Having His Knees
As the pro football season gets underway this Sunday, the playing career of the best-known athlete in America depends on a pair of battered knees. While most of Joe Namath's body is only 31—young for a quarterback—parts of it border on senility. He has undergone major surgery on both knees and plays with them sheathed in aluminum braces. He has had ankle problems. Last year he suffered a shoulder separation that now seems mended, but it is yet another pain to be endured. His physical problems have let Namath play in only 28 of the Jets' last 56 regular season games.
What if the gimpy knees collapse? He could go into movies or television, build up his chain of restaurants, continue to lend his name to sell panty hose and popcorn poppers. At the end of this season, if his body is still intact, Namath indeed may throw himself up for grabs among all the teams in the National Football League or even those of the new World Football League. "One more year," he says with satisfaction, "and I'm free."
Namath joined the Jets in 1965 as a high-priced rookie from the University of Alabama. If he had played in, say, Chicago, it is unlikely he would have become famous as "State Street Joe." But he was playing in image-conscious New York, and he was celebrated as "Broadway Joe," a droopy-shouldered, hunk-nosed sex symbol whose passes on the field were no more famous than the ones he threw off it. His reputation turned into folklore when Namath brashly predicted the Jets' upset win over Baltimore in the 1969 Super Bowl.
Since then Namath has capitalized on his playboy image with lucrative endorsements and appearances on TV and in three movies. Now he approaches a turning point. On these pages photographer Harry Benson, who is close to Namath, contributes both photographs and personal observations on a unique sports superstar at a unique time in his life.
Some of Joe's friends wish he would quit football. Even his mother says, "Joe, you should give it up before you're really hurt." Joe just smiles and blushes. He really loves to play, that's all there is to it. He is looking forward to this season. He's lost weight and has been working out ways to protect himself from getting hurt again. One thing he has tried is a kind of bullfighter's turn to move out of the road when he is about to be hit. But you can see in the picture (right) from the exhibition game against St. Louis that it doesn't always work. So Joe uses weights to strengthen his knees. He is in pain all the time when he plays. Still, you can tell how much he loves the game when you see him in the dressing room after a game or a workout. He'll slowly unwrap the tape and braces from his knees and tell stories about his high school days in Beaver Falls, Pa.—how it was to run out on the field with the cheerleaders and the crowd yelling and how he liked standing at attention during The Star-Spangled Banner. In spite of what people say about him, Joe is an all-American boy at heart.
Joe thought a lot about it before he agreed to do the panty hose commercial. But then he decided "why not?" and he even shaved his legs for it, just as he had once shaved off his mustache for a $10,000 commercial. Joe makes over a million dollars with his endorsements but keeps a sense of humor about his commercial value. When somebody asked him why he was doing another commercial, one for a line of sheets and pillow cases, he said, "It's one of the things I always get asked on the banquet circuit. People, mostly women, want to know what color sheets I have, who makes them and are they soft?"
No one is closer to Joe than Jimmy Walsh, his lawyer (below). He and Joe went to Alabama together and, while Jimmy has a number of clients, Joe is the flagship. Jimmy isn't even interested in football, but he handles all of Joe's contracts, bills and investments, and he even screens people who want interviews. Joe hates problems. It's not true that he isn't involved in his other interests, though. He once sued a TV commentator in Boston who said Joe didn't really care about how the kids were treated at a summer football camp he runs. And when somebody wrote a letter to the New York Times this spring that seemed to say Joe didn't pay any attention to the quality of a brand of clothes he endorses, he wrote the man a letter saying, "I personally reviewed each and every item bearing my endorsement and I wear the clothes regularly." He signed the letter "Joseph W. Namath."
This summer Joe went to California to narrate a TV documentary called Dream Girls of Hollywood. He's checking his makeup and getting ready to shoot a scene, above. He was happy about that job because he likes being in front of a camera. He had his own syndicated TV sports show for awhile, and he's been guest host on the Tonight Show a lot of times. He's also made three movies, but the best thing you can say about them is that he didn't aggravate any of his injuries. Even Joe is embarrassed about them, so he's working hard to improve. Right now he's taking acting and elocution lessons. On the documentary, he always arrived on the set on time and he always knew his lines, usually without cue cards. Some of the crew was calling him "one-take Joe" because he usually got things right the first time. But one evening a member of the film crew told him it had been an easy day's work. Joe didn't like that. "It wasn't easy," he said defensively. "It was hard—I was working every minute."
Asking when Joe will marry is like asking when he will retire. Joe himself doesn't know. His steadiest girl now is Randi Oakes (far left). She's a pretty blonde from Iowa who has become a top New York model since she met Joe in 1970. He's old-fashioned; he didn't like Randi to go out with other men at all, even though Joe had other girlfriends. But since April, I haven't seen Joe with anyone except Randi. One of Joe's friends says that when Joe gets injured, Randi is the first one he calls. Joe hates bad language around girls. He owns a restaurant in Birmingham that has entertainment and he took Randi there to see a comedian. Joe sat back to enjoy the show but the comedian turned out to be crude and vulgar. This embarrassed Randi—but it embarrassed Joe even more. He bawled out the club manager.
He has an apartment in Ft. Lauderdale and one in New York, of course, but Joe is probably happiest in Tuscaloosa, where he went to college. "The people down here are the friendliest and there are no hassles," he says. He likes to go out on a little lake and relax with a chew of tobacco and a few cans of beer (above). He enjoys talking to his old coach, Bear Bryant of Alabama (at left). "Bryant taught me the fundamentals of life," Joe says. "You must be honest with yourself." And he likes to see his old friends, like "Hoot Owl" Hicks, behind Joe at right, who was a college classmate and now coaches high school football. Joe's friends are by no means only other football players. They're millionaires, barmen, farmers, bankers, lawyers, all kinds of people. A lot of the other players on the Jets resent Joe because he gets special treatment. He'll wander into meetings late or after a game keep the team, the coach, even the president of the club waiting while he slowly unwraps his sore legs and gets showered, dressed and signs autographs. This does not impress the rest of the team, but most of them don't complain. They know that Joe keeps the stands filled for them.
Joe likes an occasional round of golf and shoots in the low 80s. He will always take time out for an admirer, though (below). Many of the things he likes to do are quiet, not really flashy. He likes fishing. He enjoys shopping in little grocery stores for stuff like orange juice and potato chips. And he spends a lot of time reading, especially newspapers. He buys all the newspapers available in town wherever he goes. Even though he doesn't talk about politics very much in public, he knows what's going on. The last section he reads most of the time is the sports page. Joe is a good, simple country boy who doesn't like anything phony. He told me once, "I couldn't do anything I didn't enjoy. You can't fool yourself."

Survey Says: Guests Are Spending a Small Fortune Just to Attend Your WeddingDevan McGuinness
As the weather gets warmer, our mailboxes become breeding grounds for this season's wedding invites. If you've got a large family, a widespread group of friends, or just seem to get invited to these things — you're probably planning to attend a wedding or two this summer.
My advice? Save up now because the cost of just going to that wedding is going to cost you, on average, $592 per wedding. Multiply that number by the amount of "yes" boxes you checked on the invites — and that's what it's going to cost you this wedding season.
A survey was just released by American Express which compiled results of 1,500 Americans, revealing that the cost of attending weddings is up 10 percent from last year. These costs include everything from the pre-wedding parties to transportation and clothing, but does not include the cost of the wedding gift in that average price-tag.
It's not all bad though, because just as you're spending more money to attend, your hosts are spending more money on you. The average amount spent at each wedding in 2013 for one guest to attend is, on average $220 per person, which is up 8 percent from the previous year. This total includes things like food and entertainment for guests, and brides and grooms are also doing more to make the day memorable for all.
So, with all this cost just to go — what are people spending on the gift?
I was shocked to read that total of $592 per wedding didn't include a wedding gift because I was certain that took up at least one-fifth of the cost, but nope. I am not surprised to see that according to the survey done by American Express, the amount spent on wedding gifts is unchanged from last year. On average, each person attending a wedding will spend $109 per gift, but that price doubles if you're going to a close family member's wedding.
Like I said folks, you're going to need to start saving up just to go to these weddings because if this stays on-trend, in a few years it's going to cost us all even more.
Do you have any upcoming weddings to attend this season?

You've probably already seen it. And heck, probably already played it. But I just wanted to add to the shout outs and links for FreeRice. This is a non-profit Web site that combines games with giving. As soon as you arrive at the site, you're given a vocabulary word. Guess the right one and win 10 grains of rice to be given to a hungry person. The combination of vocab quiz with the competitive drive to accrue rice makes FreeRice rather addictive. Who wants to just win thirty grains of rice for a hungry person? As Mitch Hedberg said, "Rice is great if you're hungry and want 2,000 of something."
Once you collect 120 grains of rice, which builds in a virtual wooden bowl on your score card, your bowl is emptied and you start collecting again. The site began only just recently on October seventh when 830 grains of rice were won. Now almost two months later, the site total is over three billion.
Here's how the rice distribution works according to the site:
The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen. This is regular advertising for these companies, but it is also something more. Through their advertising at FreeRice, these companies support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry). We commend these companies for their participation at FreeRice...
The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people...
The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). The World Food Program is the world's largest food aid agency, working with over 1,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. In addition to providing food, the World Food Program helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, the World Food Program buys food locally to support local farmers and the local economy. We encourage you to visit the United Nations World Food Program to learn more about their successful approach to ending hunger.
Become more donnish and lift a hungry person out of a dolorous existence at the same time by playing FreeRice. It's more than gimcrack, it's free!

MOBILE, Ala. -- Jimmy Lyons, chief executive of the Alabama State Port Authority, has been named the newest member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's Birmingham branch.
The Federal Reserve has broad powers with regard to the banking and financial industries, as well as the ability to direct monetary policy for the nation by setting the interest rate at which it will loan money to member banks. Lowering the interest rate, for example, can spur economic growth by making it more attractive for member banks to loan money to consumers.
The Fed has 12 regional banks and 25 branches throughout the country. The branches feed information about local economies to their banks, which then sends the facts back to the central bank in Washington, D.C.
"My job is not going to be to change anything," he said. "It will be to provide information to serve as link between the private sector and government policy makers."
Lyons said the appointment requires that he attend about eight or nine meetings a year, and he'll receive a few hundred dollars and expenses for each meeting attended, he said.
Alabama State Port Authority members earlier this year voted unanimously to let Lyons take the post. Lyons will fill a term that expires at the end of 2012.
"Getting the perspective of this part of country is a good thing," Lyons said. "Having someone from south Alabama, our perspective here is going to be different than in Birmingham or Huntsville."
Before Lyons joined the Alabama State Port Authority, he was owner of Trinity Marine and Transportation Consulting, from 1996 to 1999. He also worked for 20 years with Ryan-Walsh Inc., where he held various positions of increasing responsibility.
Lyons is the second Mobile resident this year to be appointed to the board of a Fed branch. T. Lee Robinson Jr., president of OHC Inc., was named a director at the New Orleans branch.
