On Monday, reality TV star Kim Kardashian announced her interest in running for mayor of Glendale, Calif. Would a Syracuse stand for a celebrity mayor?
Sean Soper, a visitor to the Syracuse area, thinks it depends on the celebrity. "Somebody like Kim Kardashian, not so much," said Soper. "But someone like Bill Gates could work."
We hit the streets to see which celebrity Syracuse would like to see as mayor of their city.
Suzanne Delaney suggested Robin Meade or Rachel Maddow. Darryl Reeds said Derek Jeter. Daniel Lodman said Michael Keaton (but only as Beetlejuice). Mike Royal recommended Jim Boeheim.
Lodman agreed. "If you can lead a basketball team, you can lead a city."
Justin Wells wouldn't want any celebrity around today to be the city's mayor. "They already have the spotlight on them, why do they need to run any kind of community?" said Wells. "That's unbelievable."
Franco Vigliotti doesn't believe any celebrity should be a politician. "They are two different jobs," he said.
Tom Wilkinson, who suggested Carmelo Anthony, Richard Gere and Tom Cruise as celebrity mayors, said any candidate, celebrity or not, needs one thing, "Integrity."
Wilkinson's friend Hassan Abdul-Malik added another quality, "Transparency." Abdul-Malik also wants to see people running for public office with records of charity work.
"They need to have been contributing in some way to the economy, to the betterment of humanity as whole because that speaks volumes," he said. "I want to see they tried to reach out to those who are less fortunate and be a force for the people. And education is key."

At this point, the head scratching begins and the frustration starts to kick in. After all, your brother recommended this video; It apparently worked when he played it. The solution to the problem is likely a missing codec, the software required to playback audio and video on your computer. To track down the missing component, arm yourself with GSpot, a video file analyzer designed to show you what components a video file requires for playback. With GSpot installed, follow along with my tutorial on finding and fixing the problem when your video file plays but there's no sound from the audio track.

The Corporate Law Background of the Necessary and Proper Clause
Geoffrey P. Miller
New York University School of Law
October 27, 2009
NYU School of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 09-57
George Washington Law Review, Vol. 79, p. 1, 2010
This paper investigates the corporate law background of the Necessary and Proper Clause. It turns out that corporate charters of the colonial and early federal period bristled with similar clauses, often attached to grants of rulemaking power. Analysis of these corporate charters suggests that the Necessary and Proper Clause does not create independent lawmaking competence; does not confer general legislative power; does not grant Congress unilateral discretion to determine the scope of its authority; requires that there be a reasonably close connection between constitutionally recognized ends and the legislative means chosen to accomplish those ends; and requires that federal law may not, without adequate justification, discriminate against or otherwise disproportionately affect the interests of particular citizens vis-à-vis others.

GREENFORD - After a 32-year absence, trick or treating will return to Green Township from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 31.
Trustees approved the measure with a 2-1 vote Tuesday after a representative of the Ladies Auxiliary of Green Township suggested "opening it up again, as in the past."
Trustee Dave Slagle said people would bring their kids to Greenford because the houses outside were too far apart.
"They'd bring them all to Greenford and turn them loose," he said, explaining he voted against the motion to restart trick or treat because, "I think we should ask some of the residents in Green Township before voting on it."
Trustee Chairman Mark Stepuk wondered about holding off until the next meeting, but others wanted to have time to get the word out.
After the meeting, several people discussed how long it had been since trick or treat was allowed and two people pinpointed 1980 as the last year it was held.
Trustees felt that by holding it from 5 to 6:30 p.m. there would still be daylight and they also voted to buy trick or treat bags with a 3-0 vote.
In other business, trustees approved a fire department purchase with a 2-1 vote but want more time to study what turned out to be the only bid received for a new tank for the original 1980 tanker that was re-chassissed in 2001, according to Fire Chief Todd Baird.
Warren Fire Equipment submitted a bid of $103,872 to install a new tank and equip it from the cab back on the 2001 International, 1,000 gallons per minute tanker-pumper.
The old tank leaks.
The new tanks holds 2100 gallons of water and the cost doesn't include a new $35,000 pump which led Slagle to vote against accepting the bid.
"I'm not against it, I'm opposed to replacing it without replacing the pump," Slagle said, "I think the pump ought to be replaced."
Baird explained that "everything from the cab back including deutsch (electrical) connectors will brought up to date along with warning lights. There will be a 10-year structural warranty and the poly-tank has an unlimited warranty.
The tanker-pumper will be out of service from two to three months to complete the work and Baird said agreements with other departments will cover for its being out of service.
Also, in other business, Stephanie Coleman, the recycling coordinator, turned in her resignation after eight years and three months on the job. She will continue until the township hires and trains a new coordinator.
Stepuk said they are actively looking for Coleman's replacement and the job pays $350 per month and has PERS benefits. Coleman said the work schedule is every Saturday from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Stepuk said a couple of people expressed interest in the position, but anyone interested can sent a letter of interest to Green Township, P.O. Box 72, Greenford, OH 4442, ATTN: Recycling Coordinator.
The deadline is Oct. 4 and Stepuk said they wanted to hire a replacement by the next meeting.
Also, flu shots will be available at the administration/community building from 9 a.m. until noon, Oct. 18.

Constructing Consistent Financial Planning Models for Valuation
Ignacio Velez-Pareja
Grupo Consultor CAV Capital Advisory & Valuation
August 15, 2009
IIMS Journal of Management of Science, Vol. 1, January-June 2010 (Inaugural Issue)
In this work we show a simplified financial planning model. In reality, financial planning models are huge and cumbersome. This is a very simplified model compared with what is found in practice. We present some basic principles for constructing the financial statements needed for valuation. We show in detail all the items of the financial model and show the formulas to be used for constructing the financial planning model. The relevant financial statements are: the Balance Sheet (BS), the Income statement (IS) and the Cash Budget (CB). The construction of the financial statements starts from input data and policies and/or targets (i.e. accounts receivable policy or target). With these targets or policies we can construct the financial statements. The contribution of this work is double: one is to show that we can construct financial statements without the use of plugs and circularity and the second is that we can use a very simple approach to construct cash flows and to value them. The model shown has two parts. One is the proper financial statements forecast. The second one is a simple cash flow calculation and valuation exercise using the Capital Cash Flow and assuming the risk of the tax savings equal to Ku, the cost of unlevered equity.

OTSEGO, MI – On the soccer field, Plainwell defensive dynamos Melanie Hyames and Teresa Thiel relish locking up opposing attackers.
In the rare instance that somebody does get through that seemingly impenetrable wall, chances are good that lanky and athletic Trojans goalkeeper Sarah Morrell will thwart the offensive rush.
It's really no surprise that all three of those multi-sport Plainwell athletes play key roles for the Trojans' girls basketball team, but it is refreshing in this age of specialization. While specialization may help hone individual skills in a given sport, there is no replacement for the level of competitiveness to which a well-rounded athlete is exposed.
Plainwell girls basketball coach Tim Rieman, for one, is thankful that Hyames, Thiel and Morrell are among those who enjoy playing different sports. Those three all played key roles in the Trojans' 56-45 victory at Otsego Friday night during the Kalamazoo and statewide MLive.com Game of the Week.
"In swimming, starting out the year and in the summer, our team has always been really good and we don't like to lose, ever, and so we get that determination and that drive," said the 5-foot-3 Thiel, who is a defensive stopper on the hardwood, much the same way she is on the soccer pitch. "Coming into basketball season, it's the same thing.
"I hate losing, so just bringing that to the team – like Melanie brings that, Sarah brings that, Alyssa (Adams, senior captain) brings that – it helps everyone else understand, 'Hey, we've got to go, we've got to win.' And that just helps push other. It doesn't matter, we're all athletes. We may not all be basketball players, but we're all athletes. We just push each other and we're just all determined. When we're down, we're all just like, 'OK, let's go, let's get the next one.' It helps us keep pushing, keep pushing, keep going."
In the fall, Thiel was a state finals-qualifier on the Plainwell swimming and diving team that finished fifth in Division 3, while Hyames played for the Trojans' traditionally strong volleyball squad, which won another district title and advanced to the Class B regional finals.
Hyames and Thiel, two senior captains on the basketball team this season, and Morrell played instrumental roles in the Plainwell soccer team that advanced to the Division 2 state finals last spring. Hyames and Thiel also were key members of the Trojans' unbeaten soccer team in 2011 that cruised to the state title.
On Friday against Otsego, Morrell, a 5-11 forward, went from defending a goal to scoring nine field goals en route to a career-high 22 points and 12 rebounds for Plainwell (10-2, 6-0 Wolverine Conference East Division). The 5-6 Hyames added 11 points, seven boards, three steals and two assists. Hyames was a defensive menace, just like backcourt mate Thiel, who was largely responsible for holding Otsego senior standout Shannon Nichols to five points.
"I think it kind of helps, it's like a motivator," Hyames said about playing multiple sports. "If we can get to state in soccer, then why can't we (do well) in these other sports? It kind of pushes us to be the best we can be."
Otsego basketball coach Tony Koshar knows this first-hand. The Bulldogs are 9-2 overall and 4-2 in the Wolverine East – both of those defeats coming against Plainwell.
"I think when you talk about Mel Hyames, she's a fantastic soccer player – my daughter (Otsego senior Paige Koshar) played with her, so I know. I watched her play a lot of years. Defensively, she's really tough and anticipates things (on the basketball court)."
Rieman acknowledged that there is a definite carry-over from one sport to another.
"Volleyball, basketball and soccer (don't forget swimming, Coach) ... they're so competitive and so good at what they do. The winning attitude is huge," he said.
"A buddy of mine came to the game the other night and he hadn't seen them play yet, and he came up to me and whispered in my ear after we won, 'Boy, coaching those two piranhas ...' – talking about Mel and 'T' (Thiel) – ' ... sure must be fun.' So, yeah, it is. He goes, 'And then you throw that sophomore in there that can finish anywhere.'"
Clearly, competitiveness helped Plainwell finish the job Friday night.

My cat, Ziggy, and I share April as a birthday month. We are not sure of his exact brithdate, but we know he's a Taurean according to the scanty information on his papers from the animal shelter. And that got me wondering whether cats and people have similar characteristics and traits linked to their brith sign.
I think we do. For example, I have an eye for beautiful things. Ziggy does, too. He knows exactly what I consider gorgeous in the house, and those are the items he focuses on to attack and destroy. I've tried to fool him by putting a cheap rug over the beautiful Tabriz rug in the living room, and he ignored it completely. The moment the Tabriz was back in full view, he rushed to it to show his "appreciation."

I actively try to not write blog posts that are specifically related to Facebook. Not because I'm anti-Facebook or anything silly like that. It's just that I feel too many companies wrap their entire social media strategy (if you can even call it that) around the mega social network, and I didn't want to contribute to that collective mindset.
Well guess what? I'm going to write a post that's all about Facebook.
And why am I going to do that? Because I believe that one of the new features that they recently rolled out has the opportunity to revolutionize the way that brands interact with consumers. The feature I'm referring to is the "Actions & Objects" facet of Facebook's Open Graph API. Known in some circles as "verbs and nouns," this particular functionality will allow brands to move beyond the "Like" and develop truly meaningful interactions.
Instead of consumers simply "Liking" your brand page, they will now be able to "install" your software or "cook" with your appliance, etc. and so forth. Oh, and by the way, when a user performs one of these actions, all of their Facebook friends and their friends' friends will see that interaction in their timeline and will be able to share it or perform it as well.
Powerful stuff.
But here's the catch. Before you can leverage the power of this new application, you need to define the actions or "verbs" that define your brand. Mind you, you'll also need to define the object or "noun" but I would argue that this will be the easier step once you've figured out the action.
Currently, Facebook offers only a limited number of preset actions and objects within their Open Graph API. However, you can submit applications for entirely new ones. Just make sure that you follow their guidelines and understand that any new actions and objects won't be approved and won't go live until after Facebook rolls out their new Timeline functionality to the entire Facebook user base.
Smart executives should get the ball rolling immediately, by figuring out what their verb(s) should be, so that they can subsequently pick an accompanying noun(s) and then submit this new interaction format to Facebook. By doing so, smart brands will be setting the stage for an entirely new form of online consumer interaction.
P.S. You don't have to be a Fortune 100 company to partake in the Facebook open graph bonanza. You just need some creativity, and understanding of your brand, and some solid developer resources.

CLEVELAND - You're a first-time head coach with an inexperienced quarterback and lack of depth across the board, and your first preseason opponent is the defending Super Bowl champion.
Thankfully, for Browns coach Pat Shurmur, the game doesn't count in the standings. It does matter, however, in the critical area of player development, which is one way of saying job security.
Shurmur was asked this week what questions he wants to see answered when the Browns host the Green Bay Packers tonight at Cleveland Browns Stadium. He wasn't being flip when he said, "How good our team is."
All coaches need to figure that out early in camp, but it's a more pressing issue for coaches of teams in transition. Not having an offseason in which to evaluate the players because of the lockout, Shurmur is serious when he says he's not sure what to expect.
"You're looking at a situation where 90 players and 20 coaches have gotten together for the first time for two weeks, so I want to see where we're at as a team," Shurmur said.
"My sense is that we have a long way to go.
"Within the position groups we want to see good competition. When I brought the team in initially I said, 'Make it as hard on us as you can to decide who the 53 guys are going to be.' I hope after a performance against another team, we have guys that show up and make plays. There's going to be a lot to see and a lot to evaluate."
At the top of the list for evaluation is quarterback Colt McCoy, who started eight games in his rookie season of 2010.
There's no question that McCoy will be the starter to open the season, but he's still a part of the evaluation process as he gets acclimated to the west coast offense.
"It's day to day," McCoy said. "That's the way we look at it in the locker room. We're still installing some plays. We're improving each time we get out here. That's the most important thing."
McCoy hasn't had the luxury of working with a full cast of receivers. Mohamed Massaquoi hasn't practiced one day because of a foot injury. Joshua Cribbs missed time early in camp with a knee injury, and Carlton Mitchell was out early with a shoulder injury.
It's critical that McCoy starts to develop chemistry with his receivers.
"For me, most importantly you've just got to know where to go with the football and what's a good decision and what's not a good decision," he said. "Sometimes that throw may or may not be there, but that may not be the right place where you're supposed to go with the ball based on our concepts."
Shurmur plans to play the starters for one quarter. The second units will play the second and most of the third quarters. Players farther down on the depth chart will play in the fourth quarter.
"These preseason games are important," Shurmur said. "It's important that we learn a lot about our whole team. Most teams approach it this way. Whether you're a first- or second-teamer or a guy fighting to make the team, every rep is valuable. To start the year out against an opponent like the Super Bowl champs will be a good gauge."
Running back Peyton Hillis gets his first chance to pick up where he left off last season, when he rushed for 1,177 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. He caught 61 passes for 477 yards and two TDs.
"The backs have to be very involved in the passing game in the west coast," Hillis said. "As far as getting more balls, it's very possible."
Defensive coordinator Dick Jauron will get his first chance to critique the 4-3 defense being installed. The Browns were shy on quality defensive linemen, which led to the decision to use their first two draft picks on linemen- tackle Phil Taylor and end Jabaal Sheard.
The defense will likely face Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a couple of series.

Because it's too cold for you to eat a slice on a stoop.By Sierra Tishgart
Peter Meehan hails Hill Country as the barbecue to beat in New York, at least as far as beef is concerned: "[The deckle brisket] is a thing of balance and of beauty." [NYT] As much as Meehan liked the place, Steve Cuozzo may like it even more, not hesitating to crown it New York's best: "Lots of New York places now claim to have 'real' barbecue, and some truly do. But until they catch up with Hill Country, they're just blowing smoke." [NYP] 15 East feels the glow of two-star approval, especially for its star octopus. Ushiwakamaru, though not as good, is cheaper, and that's worth something. [NYT]

Argentine Navy tall ship Libertad visits Guyana and Suriname
Argentina's Navy tall ship ARA Libertad is docked some ten miles off the coast of Guyana and entertained Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and members of the diplomatic corps as a part of its round-the-world trip which concludes in December of this year.
The 329-crew navy ship was first launched in Argentina in 1956 and made it first voyage in the year 1963. It completed its first round-the-world trip in 1965.
The Libertad has a world record of being the fastest tall vessel to complete the Atlantic sail and is also the 8-time Boston Tea Pot winners. In 2004-2007 the Libertad underwent half life restoration works where it was rehabilitated to serve much longer
ARA Libertad previously spent time in the coast of Paramaribo, capital of Suriname and is currently heading for La Guaria in Venezuela. The tour of the Atlantic basin includes the Caribbean, US, Portugal, Spain, several African countries, including Cape Town next October.
From South Africa the tall ship which also has cadets from the Chilean and Uruguayan navies will cross to Brazil in November and early December Montevideo, Uruguay finally reaching Buenos Aires on December 8.
Guyana and Suriname, former British and Dutch colonies are currently members of Unasur, the Union of South American Nations.

|Cato Policy Analysis No. 60
|October 21, 1985
by G. A. Selgin
G. A. Selgin is assistant professor of economics at George Mason University.
Executive Summary
There is today much frustration, not to say cynicism, regarding the operation of our monetary system. Theorists from all quarters agree that, in recent years especially, the Federal Reserve has seriously mismanaged the money supply. Some believe that the authorities have been inept; others think they are dishonest. And yet a third group regards the institution itself as incapable even in principle of fulfilling its self-assigned function. Probably the truth is a combination of these three views.
Whatever its foundation, the prevailing mood has bred numerous proposals for radical reform. All have in common the aim of reducing the influence of Federal Reserve officials over money, prices, and interest rates. Discussion centers less and less on such concepts as "scientific control" and "fine tuning." It is well enough, the proposals imply, if the Fed can merely be prevented from engaging in any more mischief.

Following a meeting to introduce a Safe Schools Initiative on Wednesday, parent Melissa Riley said she is impressed with the collaboration of the Aiken County School District and law enforcement to prevent or when needed, to respond effectively to emergency situations in schools.
"I heard a lot of good information," said Riley, who has a daughter at Aiken High School. "They have a real set plan and what they're going to do if something does happen."
"Safety drills have been an ongoing event in our district for ... the last 10 years," School District Deputy Superintendent David Caver said. "We have three district-wide drills a year with our schools. On a monthly basis, the schools have their own fire drills and others for events like earthquakes and tornadoes."
Capt. Eric Abdullah of the Aiken Department of Public Safety said all the agencies and the School District are striving to educate parents, students and faculty for a mutual understanding on how they will response to a critical incident.
In an initial survey of more than 1,200 teachers, many had said they were not prepared for an emergency, said Sgt. Selwyn DeLoach of the Aiken County Sheriff's Office. After training throughout the district, "1,322 teachers said they were prepared," he said. "Training works. We want them to fight for your kids and talk to kids and be leaders."
One parent asked about the possibility of providing School Resource Officers to all the elementary and middle schools. That cost wold be prohibitive, said DeLoach, but the School District is working on barriers that can provide some measure of safety.
School officials anticipate that buzzer systems at schools will be installed over the next few months. Caver acknowledged the buzzers can only have an impact at the main entrance, but that can be effective at those locations.
The district is already providing tools to notify parents about an emergency or incident at a school – the district website at www.acps.schoolfusion.us., school websites, Facebook, Twitter and through the media. Caver said the district also will introduce the use of texts for parents if they give permission to received texts.
That will be a big help in providing accurate information, he and DeLoach said. Parents instinctively want to see their children and have the right to do so, DeLoach said, but their presence can create more complications for law enforcement and schools.
• An extended version of this article will be published on the Aiken Standard website Sunday.

Truthdigger of the Week: Ray McGovern
Posted on Feb 18, 2011
This week we throw our support behind former CIA analyst, Army veteran and peace activist Ray McGovern, whose arrest while protesting as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton paid tribute to the wave of demonstrations in the Middle East made a troubling statement about the state of our own freedoms.
The irony of this situation did not appear to register with Clinton as she stood at a podium emblazoned with the words "Internet Freedom" at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, talking up the international community's technologically enabled solidarity with rallying citizens in Egypt and putting down the former regime's clampdown on communication and free speech. Meanwhile, the 71-year-old McGovern, standing in the audience in a Veterans for Peace T-shirt, turned his back on the Secretary of State in silent defiance of her message.
Just after Clinton relayed how "citizens of all stripes shared their hopes and fears about this pivotal moment in the history of their country," and how "millions worldwide answered in real time, 'You are not alone and we are with you,'" it was made clear to McGovern that he was not standing in a free speech zone. "Then the government pulled the plug," Clinton intoned. "Cell phone service was cut off, TV satellite signals were jammed and Internet access was blocked…. " The video posted below shows McGovern being grabbed during this timely description of jammed signals and escorted out of the building, exclaiming, "This is America?"
According to several accounts of the Clinton-McGovern run-in—see AlterNet's here, BradBlog's here and Common Dreams' here—McGovern was then beaten and arrested for disorderly conduct. No thanks to Clinton for failing to safeguard Americans' freedom to express their dissent in that encounter, but thanks are due to McGovern for his ongoing efforts to exercise that right peacefully in the face of resistance.
Editor's note: And thanks to Larry Gross for nominating this week's winner.

Thank you Ray McGovern for courageously standing up for the truth. US foreign policies and war-mongering have gotten worse and worse, but it is a rare person who stands up in silent disapproval, as you did, or who speaks out, as you did, to question Rumsfeld's lies. The Obama administration is continuing Bush-Cheney's neocon policies and in some cases making them worse, such as the US drone attacks killing innocent civilians in Pakistan. The American people have the right to protest peacefully. We have the right to hear the truth, but we can't get anywhere near it if we are brutalized and jailed for merely standing in silent protest when officials are telling lies. Hillary Clinton was criticizing Egypt and Iran for not allowing freedom of speech as Ray McGovern was dragged away. The Orwellian overtones are chilling.

In many countries slow sand filtration (SSF) plants have faced a number of operational problems, the most serious of which are caused by high turbidity and suspended solids concentration in the raw water. Therefore it is necessary to pretreat the raw water to reduce turbidity to the required level of SSF. The main objective of this study was to investigate the appropriateness of horizontal flow roughing filters as pretreatment for SSF in water purification in Tanzania with particular emphasis to rural supply schemes. Community participation, construction and operational features of existing HRF plants, their removal efficiency with respect to turbidity, fecal coliform and color were investigated together with other indicative parameters. Filter efficiency regenerations through hydraulic filter cleaning was also investigated. This study was based on rewiew of existing literature, physical inspection of existing plants, information and experiences from the plants in Rukwa, Mbeya and Iringa regions and on the field tests conducted at the Iringa urban pilot HRF plant. /Kir11

This simple, yet "out of this world" Toy Story Birthday Party by Jessica from OhSoPrintable would make any boy want his birthday to last to infinity and beyond… especially when he is wearing a pair of super cool homemade Buzz Lightyear gloves!
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
– Lime green, blue and sparkly silver color palette for a boyish, yet party-fabulous look!
– Silver "shooting star" cupcake toppers
– Moon pies, Milky Way Mini Cheesecakes, and lime green juice!
– Space Agent Gear for fun photo booth props, & more…
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Jessica…
The party "Blast off to Infinity and Beyond" was born out of my son's love for Buzz Lightyear. My brainstorming began on Pinterest and searching through my favorite party blogs. I decided on lime green, blue, and navy blue as the color scheme for this space-inspired Toy Story birthday party. Everything seen in the party was either handmade or purchased at locals stores: Joann Fabrics, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby.
As I thought of ideas for the party, I came across the most adorable tutorial for handmade Buzz Lightyear gloves and decided those would be the perfect gifts for the children. Thankfully, my mother-in-law is wonderfully talented with a sewing machine and gladly took on the project. I packaged the gloves in a lime green paper bag and as the children came in they made a stop at the table to pick up there "Space Agent Gear." I also knew I wanted to have a photo booth with various Toy Story characters and sayings. It was definitely the most popular activity at the party. Both the adults and children had a blast taking pictures with the props.
My favorite details about the table display were the Shooting Star cupcakes, inspired by Abby of Style Me Pretty, and the hanging stars which are simple and economical to make. Also included in the display were Milky Way Mini Cheesecakes, Spaceship Cookies, Moon Pies, Power Surge Apples, and Crystallic Fusion Juice.

GREENSBURG - The officiating in the first half of Claysburg-Kimmel's PIAA Class A second round girls basketball playoff game on Thursday at Hempfield Area High School left the Lady Bulldogs in a foul mood in more ways than one.
It also left them looking up at District 10 champion Kennedy Christian much of the night.
The Lady Bulldogs, the consolation game winners from District 6, battled back several times but never were able to fully make up the ground, as time ran out on their attempted rally, and their season came to an end, 45-38.

Abby Kulick (23), Rachel Walter (33) and Elizabeth Weiland walk off the court following Claysburg's loss.
"They kept coming back and coming back. They didn't quit. That's for sure," said Claysburg coach Jeff Appleman, whose team finished the year 21-6. "I think we just sort of ran out of steam. You can only climb that mountain so many times."
Claysburg tied the game in the second quarter after falling behind early by seven, then sliced a six-point deficit in half by halftime. The Lady Bulldogs found themselves down by double figures four times after the intermission only to mount runs to get back within striking distance.
However, when Elizabeth Weiland's near steal with 1:08 left went out of bounds and a pair of Abby Kulick 3-pointers didn't find the mark in the last minute, the seven-point lead Kennedy Catholic held for the last 1:49 finally became safe.
Kulick led C-K with 13 points, while Paige Burk, usually a starter coming off the bench this night, fired in 12 on four extra-long 3s. Alexis Locke, battling inside against 6-foot-1 April Bocian, pulled down 15 rebounds in defeat.
"It's definitely frustrating," Locke said of continuing to fight back only to be kept at arm's length by the Lady Golden Eagles. "But we had the heart. We have the passion. We wanted to win. As long as you have that, we were going to keep going [until time ran out]."
Rebekah Kish fronted Kennedy Christian with 12 points, including seven points and a pair of 3-pointers in the first quarter that gave the Lady Eagles their first advantage, and Bocian made it tough for Claysburg to get easy shots inside by blocking six. Kennedy next will play District 7 champion and defending PIAA runner-up Vincentian, a 61-48 winner over Berlin Brothersvalley in the second game at Hempfield, on Saturday.
The Lady Eagles improved to 23-2.
"We had just a great team effort," Kennedy coach Chris Mele said. "[Claysburg-Kimmel] is a good ball club. They play really hard, and I give credit to them. It was a hard-fought win."
Claysburg was deep in foul trouble almost from the start. Weiland, starting in Burk's place, had her second foul by 5:40 of the first quarter, and Locke and Ickes joined her with two by the end of the period, as Kennedy Catholic was in the one-and-one with 39.6 seconds left. Ickes, Weiland and Locke had three personals before halftime.
The Lady Bulldogs were whistled for eight fouls to Kennedy Catholic's four in the opening quarter and had 13 to the Lady Eagles' seven by the half.
"That certainly was a big influence on the game. I just didn't know what was a foul and what wasn't a foul," Appleman said. "The kids were frustrated, angry for sure, and it was our job to keep it together. It was a very difficult task."
Kennedy, though, wasn't able to take advantage, going just 6-for-15 at the line, and when Kulick came up with an offensive rebound and kicked to Burk for a 3-pointer just before the second quarter buzzer, Claysburg, despite all the adversity, was within three points.
The foul problems, though, affected the Lady Bulldogs in other ways than just the scoreboard.
"That's the thing. When we all get in foul trouble, we can't play our game," Kulick said. "Defense is what gets us. When we get our defense going, our offense comes. When we get in foul trouble, we can't play our defense, because we're hands on. You have to play off, just so they don't call fouls."
Down as many as 12 in the second half, Claysburg was within five on Kulick's steal and layup late in the third quarter and sliced an 11-point deficit to six on a pair of Kulick free throws midway through the fourth.
"It was just emotion," Kulick said of what kept the Lady Bulldogs coming back. "I didn't want this to be our seniors' last game."
Burk gave the Lady Bulldogs a big lift with her four treys, all of which were well behind the 3-point line.
"How about No. 4 [Burk]?" Mele said. "She has unlimited range. Phenomenal."
Just a sophomore, Burk will be back. Kulick and Locke, though, played their final games for the Lady Bulldogs, as did point guard Madison Ickes and reserve guard Rachel Walter.
"I am more than ecstatic with all of our accomplishments," Kulick said. "I can't be more happy. I mean, look were we are. Look where we finished."
This was Claysburg's deepest foray into the playoffs since the Lacey Claar-led 2007 team made it all the way to the state semifinals. All but one of the Lady Bulldogs' losses was to a district champion.
"I'm so proud of everyone and so thankful for our coaches coming to Claysburg," Locke said. "I wanted to go further, but we made it this far. It hasn't been done in how long, and I'm incredibly proud of everyone."

Ontario may see larger forest cuts in the future now that the Ministry of Natural Resources is pushing for clearcuts that mimic natural conditions.
The proposed regulation, more commonly referred to as fire simulation guidelines, is in some ways a return to old cutting practices. But unlike previous large clearcuts, the new regulations stress sensitivity to local wildlife.
Forest companies used to cut huge tracts of forest with the philosophy of clearing everything out, but in recent decades, the province moved to smaller, patchwork cuts. These smaller cuts were beneficial to moose, but did nothing for other species, including caribou, which suffered as moose prospered.
The new fire simulation guidelines would not permit any more trees for forest companies, but rather would only change how those cuts are distributed.
Environmental groups, however, are opposed to the plan, claiming the regulation could mean clearcuts of up to 4,000 hectares in size.
The Ministry of Environment has yet to approve the implementation of the fire simulation strategy, while the MNR produces more guidelines on the size of the clearcuts.

Ditcham Park School - Senior
The senior school provides an environment in which each individual pupil can develop his or her talents and potential to the full. The curriculum is broadly based, discouraging early specialisation, but with an emphasis on the core subjects of Maths, English and Science.
It incorporates the National Curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4, with additional material as appropriate. Teaching techniques are varied and interesting with the use of audio visual aids, ICT and educational visits. All pupils are expected to do homework each evening.
All pupils study English, Mathematics, Science, French, Latin, History, Geography, Music, Art, Drama, Design Technology, ICT, Religious Education, Spanish and PE/Games.
Pupils start to study Biology, Physics and Chemistry as separate subjects and begin their ICT GCSE (short course)
Pupils study 10 GCSE subjects. The five compulsory core subjects are English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, ICT (short course) and a Science. Depending on the pupil's individual interests and abilities, a further five subjects are:
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Combined, Science, French, Spanish, Latin, Geography, History, Design Technology, Business Studies Music, Theatre Art, Art 2D, Art
All pupils have 10% of the timetable devoted to PE and Games, and a course in Personal, Social and Health Education is covered in forms 1-3, with Citizenship and Further Education in form 5; the school firmly believes that it is important for young people to consider and debate issues which affect them as individuals living in the wider community.
In addition to the classroom curriculum, pupils are required to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, which mainly take place during the lunch breaks. Many pupils also have extra lessons in music and speech and drama..

Original Beach Boys Turn Back the Clock
June 17th, 2012 | Published in Stage and Street
By Pete Roche
Talk about an Endless Summer.
The Beach Boys have put aside personal (and legal) differences to record a new album—their first since 1996—and tour the world with all five surviving members.
They're all pushing seventy. But don't think for a minute that Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks aren't capable of keeping the sounds of summer alive for 21st century audiences.
The 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees rolled into Cuyahoga Falls again on June 13th for a 50th Anniversary bash at Blossom Music Center. The venue probably hasn't hosted a show this top-heavy in recent memory; The Beach Boys predate the construction of Blossom's distinctive parabolic pavilion by at least five years.
The first of two lengthy sets was book-ended by vintage tracks about water and woodies. "Do It Again," "Little Honda," "Catch a Wave" and "Hawaii" set a nostalgic, celebratory tone that lasted the entire evening.
Most of the actual music was provided by an elite squad comprised of members of Love's Endless Summer Beach Band (Jeff Foskett, Scott Totten) and Wilson's own well-rehearsed ensemble (Darian Sahanaja). John Cowsill's crack drumming was augmented by Probyn Gregory's percussion, woodwinds, and horns. Mike D'Amico assumed bass duties.
Johnston dabbled on keyboards stage right but didn't hesitate waving or giving a thumbs-up to the folks down front. The smallest Beach Boy, Al Jardine, now boasts the group's richest voice.
Goateed guitarist Marks seemed to relish his return; he left the band after falling out with manager Murry Wilson in 1965.
Murry's eldest son surveyed the scene from a white piano at stage right.
Brian Wilson didn't exhibit much movement and appeared to take lyrical cues from a teleprompter. But if anyone's earned the right to cheat a little in his golden years, it's Wilson, who spent the better part of the Seventies and Eighties struggling with substance abuse and mental illness. And while only those seated nearby saw how often the former bed-bound recluse really tickled the ivories, it was a treat just watching Wilson up there, thoughtfully absorbing the fruits of his labor.
Dressed in a busy paisley print shirt and matching mint-colored slacks, Love was the band's emcee, engaging the crowd early for a hop-scotch through time that spanned five decades. He described "Be True to Your School" as a patriotic song for women in uniform (meaning cheerleaders) and there was an uproar when the band's large video screen flashed logos for local learning institutions like Cleveland State University.
Hits "Surfin' Safari" and "Surfer Girl" were juxtaposed with back-tracks like "Wendy," "Marcella" (featuring Brian) and "Then I Kissed Her" (with Jardine on lead). Calypso-flavored "Isn't It Time" gave fans a taste of the new album That's Why God Made the Radio. Jardine played banjo on 20/20 cut "Cotton Fields," while Surf's Up ballad "Disney Girls" gave songwriter Johnston a chance to shine. Remember Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs?" It was Bruce—not Barry—who penned the 1975 smash.
Comfortably clad in a polo shirt, track pants, and Nikes,Wilson sang lively on "Please Let Me Wonder" but deferred to longtime Foskett for an elegant "Don't Worry, Baby." Love took the wheel again on rollicking renditions of "Little Deuce Coupe," "409," "Shut Down," and "I Get Around," all delivered in rapid-fire succession—a motorway medley that got everyone's pistons firing.
Set Two commenced with the surviving Beach Boys taking the stage by themselves, huddling 'round Wilson to sing Sunflower's sparkling church-hymn "Add Some Music." The latter part of the evening focused on Wilson's experimental suites and Baroque pop, with the ensemble faithfully recreating "Heroes and Villains" right down to the song's extraneous bells and whistles.
Pet Sounds classics "Sloop John B" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice" shimmered. Brian took the spotlight for poignant piano ballad "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times." His slightly-slurred delivery made for a loose-but-effective "Sail On, Sailor." Love and Jardine shared vocals on the Transcendental Meditation-inspired "All This Is That."
"In My Room" was followed by a tribute to departed Wilson brothers Dennis and Carl, whose onscreen images made for a bittersweet pairing of "Forever" and "God Only Knows." Theremin rocker "Good Vibrations" induced a mass case of Smiley Smiles. "California Girls" brought further excitations. "Do You Wanna Dance" and "Surfin' U.S.A." closed the show, but the hit parade continued with balmy encore "Kokomo."
"Pumped Up Kicks" stars Foster the People opened with a forty-five minute set of electro-pop from their 2011 debut, Torches.
Dressed like a Miami Vice extra, bandleader Mark Foster switched between keyboards, drums, and guitar on "Miss You," "Warrant" and "Life on the Nickel." Bassist Cubbie Fink and drummer Mark Pontius created tight, tough rhythms while touring member Sean Cimino coaxed feedback from his guitar and triggered noises on a bank of synths and samplers.
New single "Houdini" and obligatory outro "Kicks" got some parents on their feet dancing with their teenagers. But the young hipsters didn't clock out for the night; Foster the People joined The Beach Boys later to sing backup on "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "Barbara Ann." Visually, the round-robin made for a peculiar dichotomy of old school and new—but it sounded better at Blossom than when the two groups collaborated at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards.
Cleveland native Foster took an extra moment to thank the audience for its support, reserving a special shout-out for The Cleveland Orchestra Children's Choir, in whose ranks he honed his now-familiar falsetto.

Love this.
Love this.
Damn! And I used to eat those, too!
Yeah, right. The list of chemicals at the end is a list of chemicals that MAY be found in food. It is not a list of ingredients for hamburgers.
I think thats the point
I saw them creating the message that since these things don't decay, and our food MAY have assorted chemicals in it, that there is indeed a connection.
Which there isn't. Pesticides and hydrocarbons are not preservatives.
I really cant be bothered explaining the obvious to you.
What is obvious? That the burgers don't decay because they MIGHT have toluene in them? Sheesh.
make that the bleeding obvious, lol.
You might want to take a look at this!!!

Turkey for TwoAngie McGowan
Are you going to be having a very small Thanksgiving this year, maybe with just you and your significant other? Or maybe you'd like a small turkey dinner before Thanksgiving, and can't wait for the holiday to come. I recently found split turkey breasts at my local grocery store. I have made whole turkey breasts before, but have found that even a very small breast makes way more turkey than our small family can eat in one sitting. This one split breast was just about 2 lbs, which was plenty of turkey for my husband, my young son, and myself for one meal. For this recipe, you shouldn't have any leftovers. This would be perfect if you want a small Thanksgiving dinner, and will then be going out of town the next day, because there will not be any leftovers to worry about. If you do want leftovers, just buy one breast for each person to double the recipe. Serve your turkey with mashed potatoes, roasted green beans and cranberry sauce. If your purchasing a whole turkey, stop by my giveaway page for a chance to win a butterball turkey gift certificate.
Turkey for Two
1 split turkey breast about 2 lbs
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
The pan drippings from cooking your turkey breast
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken or turkey stock, warmed
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rub turkey breast with oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper and seasonings on breast.
2. Roast turkey breast until browned and juices run clear. Depending on size, about 45 minutes to an hour. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
3. For gravy, pour all pan drippings into a large skillet. Turn heat to medium and whisk in flour. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes, whisking constantly, or until flour smells nutty. Whisk in stock and turn heat to high. Continue to whisk until gravy comes to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened.
Notes: Double recipe for leftovers, or to serve 4.

Hello again race fans. Port Royal Speedway is in action this evening with a four-division show that includes a late model championship race, sprint cars, pro stocks and enduro dash. Race time is 7:30 p.m.
Tonight's Port Royal show serves as the final tune up before next week's Living Legends Dream race, which this year honors Keith Kauffman and retired car owner Walt Dyer. Former Kauffman car owners and Dyer drivers plan to attend.
An autograph session is planned and Lance Dewease will turn his Owens No. 30c into a Dyer 461 car for the race. Lelands.com, a New York based sports memorabilia auction company and sponsor of the Michael Heckman owned No. 27 sprint car, has posted a $12,000 bonus if the pole sitter elects to start from the rear and goes on to win the event. Should the pole setter decline, the second place starting car will be offered the same chance.
It will be interesting to see if any one will take the challenge. These promotions have been done before and most of the time, a driver is reluctant to give up an up front starting spot to go to the rear. Greg Hodnett and others are capable of winning from the rear if their cars are right. I hope some one will do it and take the money. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Hagerstown Speedway hosts the Lucas Oil Late Model Series tonight. Action gets under way at 7.
Lincoln Speedway gets under way tonight at 7:30 p.m. with 410 and 358 sprint cars plus thunder cars.
Bedford Speedway was scheduled to race last night and will present one final show Labor Day weekend. Promoter J.R. Keiffer is in discussions with others about the track's future for 2012.
Bedford isn't alone: Clinton County Speedway promoter Vern Wasson announced he has canceled the remaining sprint car and late model shows for the year. The track will run Friday nights with pro stocks, 4-cylinder stock cars and 270 c.c. micro sprints.
Happy belated birthday to 81-year-old Paul Boyer of Lewistown. Boyer is the scoreboard operator at Port Royal Speedway. Boyer has had a run of bad luck recently. First he went on kidney dialysis. Then he was involved in an auto accident that left him with a fractured knee and other ailments. Last Sunday he was admitted to Lewistown Hospital suffering from a heart attack. Boyer is a tough old bird and was vowing to be at Port Royal Speedway tonight. I hope he makes it. Racing and family are Boyer's life.
Fred Rahmer planned to compete last night at Williams Grove Speedway. Rahmer was injured during an All Star sprint car race in Canada back on July 4. Rahmer tried to race against the World of Outlaws last week at the Grove but turned his seat over to Kasey Kahne, who borrowed a helmet and seat from Tyler Walker.
Kenny Jacobs and Jim and Sandy Kline have teamed up for the Knoxville Nationals next month. The Klines have their hauler and one car left. Jacobs got the itch to run the Nationals and gave them a call. They will shake the car down at Port Royal and then head west for the Nationals, which run Aug. 10-13.
In the world of NASCAR, Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosts the Brickyard 400 for Cup cars tomorrow starting at 1 p.m. ESPN has TV coverage. Jamie McMurray is the defending race champion.
That's going to do it for this week. Until next time, please drive safely!

Come join the Central Rappahannock Regional Library as we present Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller North by Northwest at the England Run Branch on Thursday, Ocotber 14th at 2:00 pm.
Cary Grant plays a Manhattan advertising executive plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted, framed for murder, chased, and in another signature set piece, crop-dusted. The film's finale places the characters in a desperate life or death situation on top of Mount Rushmore.
