"One life lost, one life injured, one life ruined," said Asotin County Superior Court Judge William Acey.
For Gilberto Alex Garcia, that's all that remains of a car crash that took place in late July.
"You can't bring her back," said Acey. "You can't forgive yourself for what you did. And the system won't forgive you either."
Garcia's speeding, consumption of alcohol and all the wrong circumstances led to a roll-over crash near the Clarkston Heights. The crash injured 17-year-old Tristin Harrington and killed 16-year-old Ashley Nelson.
"The Asotin County Sheriff wouldn't tell me what was going on," said victim's brother Cody Nelson. "It wasn't until I saw the body bag. I was so disturbed that I could not stand up."
Anger, resentment, sadness and sorrow filled the room as Hells Canyon Circuit Superior Court Judge William Acey heard testimonies from the audience before deciding Garcia's fate.
"That's all I got left," said victim's father Doug Nelson. "I will never walk my daughter down the aisle to get married. You can still talk to your relatives, but we can never do that again."
"Alex I want you to know that I'm not mad at you," said car crash survivor Tristin Harrington. "I'm upset that she's not here today, but I'd just like you to know that."
Knowing that not everyone felt hatred towards him, didn't keep Garcia from crying throughout the proceedings.
"I'm willing to take full responsibility for my actions," said Garcia.
"I don't know you," said victim's cousin Jenna Hatke. "I don't know your family, but I know that they're going through things that we are too and I'm sorry for that."
Garcia pleaded guilty to one count of vehicular manslaughter and one count of vehicular assault. Judge Acey sentenced him to 38 months in prison and 18 months of supervision upon his release.
"I can only pray that good things can come out of this," said victim's mother Nicolette Gotreau. "Maybe you can share your story with someone."
According to Garfield County Special Prosecutor Matt Newberg, Garcia had a 0.0 Blood Alcohol Level however he and witnesses admitted that he was drinking earlier in the evening.

The Nets were down 10 in the third quarter when Ryan Anderson checked in Tuesday night in Milwaukee, but the deficit hardly mattered because the wheels were coming off.
Devin Harris was gasping for air -- an asthma issue -- and it didn't help that he was hyperventilating over a non-call by the refs, which earned him a technical. Vince Carter had just missed four straight shots and committed a charging turnover the last five times he touched the ball. The bench, at that point, was still asleep -- four guys had combined for 4-for-16 shooting.
So Lawrence Frank did what coaches do at times such as these: He threw in the guy who hadn't sniffed the court the last two games, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle.
"We really were getting hurt in the rebound battle," the Nets coach explained. "Devin was really struggling. We wanted to keep shooting on the floor as well. Ryan did both. He was active. He kept balls alive. He made open shots. He drove the ball to the basket. We owe a lot of this game to his energy."
Truth is, it probably wouldn't have been a game much longer if Anderson didn't catch fire and keep the Nets alive just when they seemed headed for the exit. He scored 11 points in a 15-5 rally bridging the third and fourth quarters to help the Nets earn their first lead, and they were back to stay.
"I told him, 'Maybe we shouldn't play you for three or four games, and bring you out as our secret weapon,'" Carter said. "He was huge tonight. He did a great job. He shot the ball with confidence, that was something he was on and off with. He was ready to play and ready to shoot the ball."
Nobody has quite figured out the 20-year-old rookie yet, but one thing is obvious: He doesn't want to be a secret weapon. The Nets know he has the skill set and tenacity to be a good pro, and they know he will get more consistent in time, but he is the kind of kid who can't wait. He thinks his time is now.
Just the same: When Frank called his name in Milwaukee, Anderson did a double-take.
"Yeah, I was surprised. He normally gives that second unit in that third quarter another chance to go at it," he said. "But we were struggling, and we needed something to change it around. I think that's the one thing I've really learned: I need to be ready at all times when my name is called."
Ready? That was an understatement: "Ryan gave us a huge lift after not playing the last couple," Jarvis Hayes, the eventual hero, said. "He came with a sense of urgency and he kind of picked up everybody else. We fed off his energy in the second half."
Now it's a matter of opportunity, which is a topic of some dispute.
As a starter for 19 games, Anderson averaged 8.2 points (.403) and 6.2 rebounds in 24 minutes per game. Those may not be starters' numbers, but for a rookie who had barely 500 minutes of pro experience, he was an adequate stopgap on most nights.
But then Yi Jianlian returned from his broken finger after the All-Star break, and within four games, Anderson went from starter to DNP. He was, to use his word Tuesday night, "puzzled" by the coach's decision.
Yi, after all, hadn't exactly earned floor time, or the starting nod: In the seven games since his return, he has averaged 6.1 points (.386 shooting, including 3-for-15 from 3) and 4.4 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per game.
Those aren't starters' numbers, either.
Is Anderson dealing with a double standard? Of course he is. They've invested a lot of hype in the other guy.
But the team would just as soon ask both their young power forwards to get better every day, and let the playing time sort itself out.
Still, Anderson was discomfited by the demotion. Especially since his contribution to the miracle win over Philly last Monday seemed to go unnoticed.
That performance -- nine points and four boards in 13 minutes -- was followed by two benchings.
"I'm not used to that," Anderson said. "But it's something (that suggests) this is a business now, and the coach is looking for the best lineup possible. And if he's testing lineups, it's out of my control. I just try to stay positive and stay ready."

Marcellus, NY -- Children need open spaces to play, to discover themselves, and to shape their imaginations, scientist, writer and guest professor Robert Michael Pyle believes, and cities have plenty of open space to accommodate those needs.
He hopes to inspire Syracuse to rediscover its mundane "waste" spaces during a talk entitled "Eden in a Vacant Lot." The program, sponsored by Baltimore Woods Nature Center, begins at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 7 at Syracuse's Palace Theater, 2384 James St. Admission is $5.
The event will be held in honor of Geneva Hayden, Syracuse resident and founder of Light a Candle of Literacy, to acknowledge the importance of her work with children on the city's Southside to promote literacy and frequent contact with everyday nature.
The center has organized science education programs in Syracuse elementary schools. Educators from the center take schoolchildren to neighborhood green spaces to learn science in natural surroundings.
On Oct. 8, Pyle will be at the nature center, 4007 Bishop Hill Road, to lead a butterfly hike starting at 10 a.m. The hike will be held rain or shine. Advance registration required, and space is limited. The cost is $10 for members, $20 for nonmembers.
That afternoon, Pyle will sign copies of his book at the center. Admission to the book-signing, which runs from 3 to 4 p.m., is free.
Details can be found at baltimorewoods.org, or by calling the center at 673-1350.

Saturday night's Game 7 against the Chicago Bulls will be the biggest game in the history of the Brooklyn-based Nets.
As the series has progressed, several key storylines have emerged that will come to a climax in the final showdown on Saturday night.
What at first looked like a first-round cakewalk for the Bulls, has transformed into a brutal war of attrition.
Only eight teams in NBA history have come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-seven series. Brooklyn will look to add to that short list when it hosts Chicago at the Barclays Center.
The Nets were able to force a Game 7 by narrowly defeating a depleted Bulls squad 95-92 at the United Center in Chicago on Thursday night.
The Nets have played just one Game 7 in franchise history, a loss to the Detroit Pistons in the 2004 Eastern Conference semifinals and that was when they were residents of New Jersey.
After falling behind 3-1 in the series, Brooklyn has been playing with its back against the wall.
Now, the series shifts back to Brooklyn, where the Nets will hope to write a new narrative.

Rustic Rag Wreath
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Use up your old fabric scraps and create a Rustic Rag Wreath for your home. Country craft ideas can transform any space into a relaxing hideout. Use old rags and a cotton clothesline to construct your own handmade wreath. Wrap the "boa" around a square picture frame to create an square wreath that's unlike anything you've ever seen. Break out of the mold and try something different - you'll love the look of this amazing country craft.
- Assorted fabric scraps
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Picture frame
- Cotton clothesline
- Masking tape
- Craft wire
- Wire cutters
- Cut several 1/4 inch to 1 inch wide strips from a variety of fabric scraps. I used cutter quilt scraps and chenille bedspread scraps left over from previous projects. I cut enough strips to firmly fill a shoebox.
Note: The amount of strips needed and the length of the boa will be determined by the thickness of the fabrics used, the size of the frame and the circumference around one of the frame rails. A good rule of thumb is to cut more strips than you think you will need.
For Reference: The frame I used in this project had a 9-inch-wide by 12-inch-long inside opening and an 11-inch-wide by 14-inch-long outside edge. The circumference of the rails was 5 inches.
- Measure around the outside edges of the frame and multiply by two. Cut a length of cotton clothesline using this measurement. This should be plenty of clothesline for this project, but if it isn't, more clothesline can be tied to the end to extend it.
- Tie a knot 5 inches from one end of the clothesline. This will prevent your rag strips from sliding off.
- Make the boa. Mix the strips to separate and distribute the different fabrics. Starting at the knot, tie one strip at a time around the clothesline until the strips are approximately 24 inches from the other end.
- Wrap the beginning end of the rag boa around one rail of the frame. Tape the end on the back to hold in place. Continue to wind the boa around the rails until the end of the boa meets the beginning. If they don't meet, add more strips to the extra clothesline until the ends do meet. Tie the ends together in a knot on the back of the frame to secure. Cut off the excess clothesline.
- Rip a 3 inch wide by 24 inch long strip of cotton fabric that coordinates with your fabric scrap colors. I used tea-dyed muslin for my wreath. Tie the wreath into a large bow and trim the ends as desired.
- Cut a 12 inch length of craft wire using wire cutters. Thread the wire through the back of the bow's knot. Position the bow on the wreath where desired. Wrap the wire ends to the back of the wreath and twist them together to secure. Clip off the excess craft wire.
- Hang the wreath from the frame itself, or add a loop of fabric for a hanger.

B ob Crouse built his 3 bedroom modest home in Brewerton in 1985. The house is equipped with a heat pump which cools the home in the summer and warms it in the winter. The heating and cooling system uses electricity. Though he receives monthly bills from National Grid, Crouse chose HIKO Energy of Morsey NY as his electric service company.
Like thousands of homeowners in central New York, Crouse says his electric bills have skyrocketed this winter. "Outrageous, they're completely outrageous. There's no reason to have to pay more than double for a month." Crouse told CNY Central's Jim Kenyon.
Crouse's electric bills during this past heating season:
D ecember -- $ 881 .
J anuary -- $ 725
F ebruary -- $1,408
M arch -- $1,273
H is usage remained steady averaging 4 , 900 k wh per month.
U tilities and independent suppliers say that th e unusually cold winter has caused an increased demand for all forms of energy including natural gas . The demand has jacked up the wholesale price of electricity along the entire eastern seaboard.
U.S. S enator Charles Schumer says his phone "has been ringing off the hook" as central New Yorkers complain of high electric bills. Schumer is calling upon the Federal Trade Commission to conduct an investigation. "The costs have gone up so much, about 65 percent on average for a National Grid customer that it's hard to believe that something is not amiss here. We know there was a polar vortex and we know that the price of natural gas went up, but not 65 percent." Schumer says.
C rouse thinks such an investigation is overdue , "It should have been done a long time ago. Poor people have to keep paying and paying and they (electric suppliers) are getting rich."
S enator Schumer says if the FTC finds evidence of price gouging, he would expect electricity suppliers to pay penalties and rebates to residential users.

Mark Larson gazed out the hotel window in Vail and pondered the beautiful morning. He thought about leaving the State Farm convention early and getting in a bike ride or a round of golf. And then he collapsed on the floor.
His left side turned to jelly, sapping him so hard that he couldn't get off the floor. He told his wife, Maureen, to call 911. He was scared. He was also surprised.
He knew his family history of heart disease on both sides. But even now, he doesn't blame himself for ignoring it.
True, he was on blood pressure and cholesterol medicine, and he didn't always eat well. He was also only in his 50s, a regular swimmer and runner, and it had been just a few years since he completed his first triathlon with his daughter, Leah, a pro at the time. He made the Greeley Triathlon and the Pelican Lakes triathlon a habit in the spring, the Race Against Cancer 5K in Greeley in the summer and the Turkey Trot in the fall. He wasn't fat, not even a little plump. But Larson of Greeley had a stroke on Nov. 6, 2009, and eventually he had open heart, quadruple-bypass surgery to fix the bad plumbing he didn't think was there.
This is the story Larson tells now when he talks to other patients about their upcoming heart surgery as a part of the Mended Hearts program at North Colorado Medical Center. Larson carves at least an hour a week out of his insurance business to volunteer at NCMC, and the message is a simple one: It can happen to anyone.
"Life changes just that fast," Larson said. "Just walking from here to the window."
Mended Hearts is a nationwide organization that matches people such as Larson with new heart patients, and the program at NCMC is especially successful: The Colorado chapter of Mended Hearts recently informed NCMC that it had the most patients visited in the state, with almost 1,000 last year. A big reason for that, said Leslie Gann-Exner, the volunteer director, is NCMC's award-winning cardiology department and its high number of satisfied customers. That's why Larson said he gives back.
When his doctor told him he needed open heart surgery, Larson mourned his life. He was always active, and his kids showed it. There was Leah, of course, and his son, Dan, ran track for the University of Northern Colorado. Mark ran cross country for UNC many years ago. He didn't exercise because he had to. He did it because he enjoyed it.
Larson, however, worked hard after his surgery in 2010, hitting the hospital's rehab center with almost alarming intensity. Granted, his stroke wasn't serious. He was home that night. He was lucky. Even so, surgery took eight hours, and despite his determination, he was irritated when nurses told him to walk to the door just a day later. By the time he left the hospital, he was running 30 minutes on the treadmill.
He did both triathlons three months later. He remembers a few stares from other competitors gazing at the long pink scar running up his chest as he pulled on his wetsuit. He thought that was funny.
That's the other message he gives those heart patients. It can happen to anyone, but anyone can come back stronger than ever.
He calls Maureen his food cop now, but he hasn't had to change his life otherwise.
It's just that, when he looks outside his window and sees another beautiful Colorado morning, he appreciates it even more.

Politicians don't seem to realize, or maybe the word is care, that we have this stuff called advanced technology that records their statements for posterity and endless playback. Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" crack team of researchers ... (continued)
As her daughter Meghan did before her, Cindy McCain, registered Republican and wife of Sen. John McCain, has lent her well-known visage to the NOH8 campaign that began after the passage of California's Proposition 8 in November 2008. The campaign's organizers expressed their surprise that Cindy was willing to do so and gave her props for her bid to "show people that party doesn't matter."
What a difference a few weeks and a few polling points can make. Last April John McCain pledged to run a "respectful campaign"—a goal he restated on more than one occasion until around midsummer.
It's hard to paint the other guy as an elitist when your wife wears an outfit that cost more than most houses. Vanity Fair estimates that Cindy McCain's convention ensemble, complete with super jewelry, set her back somewhere in the neighborhood of $300,000.
John McCain's wife, Cindy, sat down with CBS News anchor Katie Couric for an interview that aired Wednesday night, pledging to Couric that the VP vetting process was indeed thorough and sounding her enthusiasm for Sarah Palin. She said she agrees with the Alaska governor about the need to teach intelligent design in the schools but disagrees that abortion should be prohibited even in cases of incest or rape.

Considering that she is the source of much of the McCain family fortune, it's not surprising that Cindy McCain says she was offended by Barack Obama's assessment that John McCain is out of touch with the middle class, as well as by the Obama campaign's ads about the McCains' multiple homes.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee gets what might have been a terrorist fist jab from wife Cindy over an ill-considered crack on rising U.S. cigarette sales to Iran: "Maybe that's a way of killing them." Ha ha, funnyman. Lucky for him, the media is in a forgiving mood these days when it comes to the ex-jet jockey, as Max Bergmann points out.
Now that the presumptive nominees are getting ready to do battle for the presidency, their wives are also subject to increasing scrutiny by the press and public. Here, Cindy McCain takes a moment to endure the (soft focus) glare of ABC News cameras and answer softball questions about her husband's stance on women's rights and whether she'd feel safe with Barack Obama as president.
AP photo / Charles Dharapak
The UK's Times Online certainly chose a very particular frame for its profile of John McCain's wife, Cindy, as evidenced by the headline: "Flawed Cindy McCain Has a Grudge List." Further down, Mrs. McCain gets a bit more credit when writer Tony Allen-Mills predicts she'd make a "formidable but flawed first lady." There appears to be a pattern at work here.

Experimentation in medical education has a strong history in this country. It has been the rule in the development of primary care training programs during the past two decades and should be encouraged for the future. The suggestions of Christiansen et al1 and Geyman2 presented in this issue of The Journal fit into this tradition. Integration of primary care training into a single unified program, combining the best elements of current approaches, is logically appealing. We would then follow the example of other countries, like Britain and Canada, where there is one type of primary care physician and one model of primary care education.
The call for dramatic changes in primary care training rests primarily on the assumption that current programs will not meet the primary care medical manpower needs of the future. However, some current data support the conclusion that primary care physician manpower for the 1990s

Unleash the Villains Predictions
June 6, 2014, 7:03 AM ·
Does anyone have any predictions on the upcoming Villains event at DHS? I predict that since over 50 villains are going to be in attendance, we may get more variety as well as a few surprises. I think we will see more sidekicks in addition to main villains (Mr. Smee, Evil Stepsisters, Pain and Panic etc) as well as a few never before seen villains including Ratigan (I think he was only around when the movie came out) and the debut of Prince Hans (I want to hear your thoughts on this since everyone HATES this character. I don't mind him personally but I still think he's a good villain).

by Philippe Halsman
Halsman, the great portrait photographer who died in 1979, was not one to just tell his subjects, "Say cheese." His series of photographs of people in midjump, which began on a whim when he was shooting the automotive Ford family in 1953, made him as famous as his 101 LIFE covers did. The collection of his jump pictures, originally published in 1959, has been augmented for this reprinting with seven photographs, most showing Halsman himself jumping with his subjects, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly among them. They join shots of such people as Richard Nixon, Sophia Loren, Mike Wallace and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Halsman's introduction notes that he was refused requests for jumps by such people as Edward R. Murrow and Van Cliburn. Halsman also indulges in analysis of "jumpology," trying to suggest what particular jumps mean. That seems precious, but the pictures themselves remain intriguing, as if the jumpers are revealing some essence of themselves that defies explanation. (Abrams, paper, $12.95)

Spokane Shock lose defensive coordinator
Alex Sirianni, the Spokane Shock's defensive coordinator for the last three years, will not return to the team next season.
"I kind of felt like after four years it was probably time for me to pursue my original goal and get back to the outdoor game," said Sirianni, who was a Shock defensive assistant/special teams coach in 2007 before being promoted to D.C. in 2008.
Sirianni has been putting out feelers the last couple weeks and hopes to join a college football coaching staff for the 2011 season. He didn't rule out coaching with another Arena Football League team, but he hopes to return to the outdoor game.
"I don't think there was anything more for him to accomplish at this level," head coach Rob Keefe said.
Sirianni, 27, played at Division III Anderson (Ind.) University and coached two seasons at his alma mater before joining former Shock head coach Adam Shackleford's staff in 2007. Spokane lost in the 2008 arenafootball2 championship game before routing Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 74-27 in the 2009 title game. Spokane led af2 in scoring defense (37.6 points allowed per game) in 2009.
The Shock captured the 2010 ArenaBowl championship, helped by a defense that ranked fourth (54.3) in the regular season and first (52.7) in the post season. Sirianni began the season calling the fronts and secondary coverages. As the season progressed, Keefe, a former af2 and AFL defensive back, called the secondary coverages.
"I was able to coach with a number of outstanding coaches and large number of outstanding players. Coming in at 24, I'd never been around this kind of talent before," said Sirianni, who currently coaches Ferris High's linebackers. "Rob and I spoke during the playoffs about the future and he gave me a heads up on his plan and my plan. There are absolutely no hard feelings either way and I think this is best for both parties."
Offensive coordinator Matt Sauk left Spokane to take a similar position with the Utah Blaze. Line coach Travis Crusenberry is returning and will coach the offensive and defensive fronts. Spokane is expected to announce an offensive coordinator later this month. The Shock probably will go with a three-person coaching staff and Keefe hopes to have a volunteer coach, likely a former player who wants to break into the profession.
"We're going to have a great system and a great squad," Keefe said.
Each AFL team pays coaches from a pool of $100,000, divided at their discretion. Spokane was thought to be the only team with four paid coaches last season.
— Defensive lineman Ben McCombs, who missed the last half of the 2010 season with a torn ACL, will not be back with the Shock, Keefe said. McCombs, the 2009 af2 lineman of the year, and his girlfriend have moved to Nashville.
"At age 30, his playing days might be over," Keefe said. "We had a nice talk and he's going in a different direction."
Keefe said wide receiver Raul Vijil, who has been with the Shock since their inaugural season in 2006, is rehabilitating following his ACL surgery and thinks Vijil has a chance to be ready for training camp in mid February.
— Numerous player contracts have been voided recently by the AFL, including one of Spokane's new arrivals – defensive lineman Khreem Smith.
Not to worry, Keefe said. "It's all paperwork. It has to do with past compliance issues, workers comp issues, unemployment issues. There's nothing wrong. He's 100 percent on our team."

USC Aiken women 3
No. 10 Wingate 3
The USC Aiken womens soccer team rallied from two separate deficits en route to a 3-3 tie before a raucous crowd Thursday evening in the season-opening match for both teams.
Both squads are now 0-0-1 on the season.
Tonight was an outstanding night for USCA womens soccer, head coach Sue Vodicka said. We have a great team and everyone that played tonight did a great job. We wanted the win, but to battle back and tie a top-10 team is a good thing.
The Pacers found themselves trailing 1-0 in the 16th minute, but junior Megan Smits blasted through the defense, swerving between Bulldogs before rocketing a shot past Ashlyn Hardie, tying the contest at the 23-minute mark.
Despite its best effort, USCA was unable to score again in the half as Wingate managed to net its second goal of the contest for a 2-1 edge at the break.
The Pacers fell behind 3-1 less than seven minutes into the second stanza. However, Vodickas team started stepping it up midway through the period. Although the possessions did not turn into goals, USCA had a boost in confidence by solid chances as Heaven Tylee, Olivia Stiltner and Sarah Moore made play after play.
After maintaining possession, the Pacers earned a corner kick in the 83rd minute. Jenna Beauregard strutted over to the flag and calmly laced the ball into the middle of the box, connecting with Hannah Allisons head. Allison struck the ball perfectly as it connected with the back of the net, making it a 3-2 contest.
The Pacers continued to push forward in the waning minutes and with less than two minutes to play, a foul was called on Wingate. Caroline Gillespie struck it perfectly, connecting again with Allison for the equalizer.
The Bulldogs controlled the midfield in the first overtime session, but neither team managed to get a shot off. The lone corner kick of the period, however, was taken by Beauregard in the 95th minute.
Wingate committed two early fouls in the second half, which eventually led to a corner kick by Smits at the 102:38 mark. The ball sailed to the back side of the box and Kim Beyer managed to get a foot on it, but it was not enough.
The Bulldogs quickly countered with a shot from Jade Montgomery, but she was off target.
With just 45 seconds to play, Allison once again lined up off a set piece and drilled a shot off her head to the bottom right of the goal only to be turned away at the last second.
The Pacers tallied 17 shots to 15 by the No. 10 team. Vodickas team also controlled the possession, earning eight corner kicks to five by the visitors.
Rookie Nicole Cranny started the game between the pipes and earned a save while playing the entire 110 minutes.
The Pacers return to action Saturday at 6 p.m., when they host Emmanuel (Ga.) in a non-conference affair.
Midland Valley 3
Evans (Ga.) 1
Midland Valley won its season opener in a 25-18, 25-22, 19-25, 25-18 win over Evans.
Madilyn Reed led the Mustangs with 19 kills, 11 digs and four aces, and Sam Foster had 38 assists. Summer Bowden added 10 kills, and Gracie Gunter chipped in 10 digs.
The Mustangs will face Region 5-AAA foe Gilbert on Tuesday.

Al Matthews has few regrets
Al Matthews has the date Sunday, Dec. 15, marked on his calendar.
The former Green Bay Packer defensive back from 1970-'75, who lives and works in Austin, Texas, is looking forward to seeing his former team take on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15 this season.
"I haven't seen Jerry Jones' new stadium yet," Matthews said. "I watched the Packers on TV at home when they won the Super Bowl, so I plan on being in the stadium for this one."
Matthews also hopes to meet Packer coach Mike McCarthy, who owns a home in Austin.
"I'd love to talk to coach McCarthy about his team and the game sometime. I like the way he coaches, and I'm a big fan of Aaron Rodgers."
Though he lives in the state capital and in the heart of Cowboy country, Matthews has strong opinions about the moniker "America's Team."
"The Green Bay Packers are America's team without a doubt," Matthews stated. "There is a huge base of Packer fans in Austin and throughout Texas. Packer fans are everywhere."
Matthews said he still gets several requests a week to sign his football cards from Green Bay fans. Each fall, he also attends a Packer fan gathering or two in the Austin area to watch a regular-season game.
Matthews had a solid six-year career in Green Bay.
He was a second-round draft choice in 1970 out of Texas A&I, then an NAIA football power.
A secondary education major, Matthews thought he'd finish college and return to his hometown of Austin to teach and coach football. A phone call from the Packers changed all that.
"You look at the tradition, and Green Bay is a special place to play....It's like Notre Dame," he said. "I wasn't expecting to play after college."
Pat Peppler, former Packer personnel director from 1963-'71, was noted for checking out small colleges for diamonds in the rough.
"Al was a good player from a small college with a rich tradition," Peppler said. "I scouted him myself at Texas A&I. He was a bigger DB, a hitter. We went to a lot of schools others wouldn't in search of talent as we lost core players from the Lombardi era of the 1960s."
Matthews was bit in awe when he arrived in Green Bay. He found his locker was between veterans Donny Anderson and Travis Williams.
"I played with some great guys, and I just saw Donny Anderson at a golf tournament in Austin," Matthews said. "I always enjoy catching up with my old teammates."
Under head coach Dan Devine, Matthews became a starter at cornerback in his second season.
"I was not the fastest or the biggest guy, but I was smart," said the 5-foot-11, 190-pound Matthews. "I tried to play smart football and work hard to get the most out of my ability."
Matthews was regarded as a punishing hitter and a tough competitor who excelled against the run.
Speed was not his forte, so Devine moved him to strong safety in 1973, when he teamed with Jim Hill at free safety and Willie Buchanon and Ken Ellis at the corners. Together, they formed one of the best units in the NFL, and Matthews is quick to point out why.
"Don Doll was our position coach, and he cared about you as a person and a football player," Matthews said. "He taught us about more than just football. He stood up for us and was a great teacher and coach."
Matthews wished Green Bay had experienced more success during his tenure, with no more than six victories in all but one memorable season: 1972.
The Packers won the Central Division title with a 10-4 record and advanced to the playoffs, where Green Bay lost at Washington in a lackluster 16-3 contest.
"Coach Devine was OK to me, but I wish he would have relied on his assistant coaches more," Matthew said. "I think we could have beaten the Redskins if Devine listened to Bart (Starr) and gone more to the passing attack. The Redskins were loading the box to stop John Brockington and MacArthur Lane."
Matthews was knocked out cold in that game.
"We were on the verge of something special, but an injury here or not signing somebody there hurt us," he said. "We were a young team and just missing something.
"I felt we had a chance to get to the Super Bowl that year if we could have beaten the Redskins on the road and then had Dallas come to Lambeau. We played Miami in a preseason game and held our own."
The Dolphins made history in 1972, winning the Super Bowl with a perfect 17-0 record.
After the 1975 season, the Packers left Matthews unprotected, and he was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the expansion draft. He played there for one season and was out of football for most of 1977 before being picked up late in the year by the injury-plagued San Francisco 49ers.
Matthews ended his career playing against the Packers in Milwaukee in December 1977. Though Green Bay edged the 49ers, 16-14, he enjoyed talking before the game with former teammates and the home atmosphere of County Stadium.
"It was a bit strange, but a good way to say goodbye," Matthews said. "Packer fans are the greatest. They supported their team and treated you well whether you were 15-0 or 1-14."
Matthews walked away from professional football with no regrets.
"I was done in a good way," he said. "I wasn't going to try to stick around any longer and be a hanger-on. I was ready to transition to the real world."
For Matthews, that meant a career in the construction and real estate business. When the housing market declined, he talked to a friend and got into selling cars in 1988,first as a sales person, then as a sales manager at a Ford dealership. After seven years, he joined the staff at a local Lexus dealer and worked there for 16 years before moving to the Cadillac brand where he is today.
"I work for a living," Matthews said proudly. "I'm part of a team. For me, all my life I've been on some kind of team. Team success is what it's all about."
Matthews, 65, relished his playing days in Green Bay and he looks forward to reuniting with some teammates in June at a charity golf event in Appleton put on by Buchanon.
"To put on that Packer uniform meant something special at the time," Matthews said. "But as time goes by, it means even more. I miss my teammates and the stories and all the fun we had. We'll have a good time in June."

D EAR ABBY: I'm 13. My parents fight a lot. When they fight, I try to get in between them and keep it down. It's not very effective, though. I don't want their fighting to leak out. Therapy doesn't seem possible.
Do you have some tips to keep them from fighting with each other? I'm an only child and don't have any relatives who live nearby.
- The Referee
DEAR REFEREE: Parents fight for many reasons, none of them having to do with you. The problems could be lack of money, job stress or something in their relationship with each other that isn't working.

Dear sir,
this is to inform u that i m a resident of Sec-6, CDA,(Back side of Reliance Fresh) Cuttack, Odisha-753014. A mobile tower has been installed near my house. We are severly disturbed by the noise of generator. My mother is an asthama patient and she has been asked to keep away from all kind of radiation generated equipment. Mobile tower is a well known radiation generating equipment.This is very dangerous for health as well as this may be a cause of major accident in storm because this is just on the roof of Plot No-G/181or 182, Sec-6, CDA, Cuttack, Odisha.
This is injustice and an example of utmost greed of this careless owner of Plot No-G/181or 182, Sec-6, CDA.Cuttack, who is receiving some money as rent every month, to kill a lot of people, for the tower in residential area quite populated, causing harm to our health.
You are kindly requested to take action against this tower.

The Enterprise, Microfinance and Local Development Programme uses the knowledge base of the ILO globally to design academies, courses and training packages. Training courses and academies focus on disseminating good practices and sound methodologies. Training draws on the expertise of the global team of ILO enterprise development and social finance specialists.
Enterprises are important sources of employment and decent work. Training in enterprise development covers good practice in supporting business creation and growth. Training on enterprise development also covers entrepreneurship (including women's entrepreneurship), productivity, working conditions, the business enabling environment, value chains, corporate social responsibility, and the economic, social and environmental aspects of running a sustainable enterprise. Microfinance training aims at better management of microfinance institutions to help them reach vulnerable poor women and men with financial services. Local development uses participatory approaches to improve the effectiveness of regional and municipal government agencies in developing local economies, reducing the impact of natural disasters, and for creating better jobs for women and men. Promoting decent work in the rural economy uses a multi-disciplinary approach to design employment policies, programmes and projects for disadvantaged rural communities.

Hockney painted this portrait of his friends, the fashion designer Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell, shortly after their marriage. Hockney, who was best man at their wedding, took great pains over this composition and painted Ossie's head at least a dozen times. The couple modeled for the work on numerous occasions in Hockney's studio, although Ossie's pose was based on a snapshot taken one morning just after he had got out of bed, and before he had put on his shoes. Celia, a highly successful fabric designer in her own right, continued to act as Hockney's model and muse for many years.

Saks Fifth Avenue has opened a men's-only store in Palm Beach, Fla., a traditionally strong market for the luxury retailer.
This story first appeared in the February 26, 2009 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The store, which is a replacement unit, measures 4,200 square feet and is next door to the company's existing women's unit on the first and second floors of the 150 Worth shopping center. "Men's was in another secondary location at the other end of the mall," explained Ron Frasch, chief merchandising officer of Saks Inc. "It wasn't adjacent to our store, which made it more difficult to manage. It was a challenging configuration."
About a year ago, he said, "the opportunity surfaced and we took advantage of it."
Formerly a specialty retailer, the new men's store location is "airy and bright" and features "a real focused, edited assortment of our good, better, best merchandise model," he said.
The store is merchandised with designer lifestyle shops and emphasizes tailored clothing from Brioni, Jack Victor, Zanella, Giorgio Armani, Polo Blue, Canali and Ermenegildo Zegna. Sportswear from Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Brioni, Zegna, Cucinelli and Ballin is also offered, along with accessories from Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Tumi, Emporio Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo, Cole Haan, David Donahue, Collarstays, Swiss Army, Fullum & Holt, Zegna and Abas. Neckwear is a significant part of the mix and includes ties from Brioni, Breuer, Carrot and Gibbs, Zegna, Armani and Charvet.
The store also marks the exclusive U.S. introduction of Lutwyche, an English tailored clothing line from Tony Lutwyche, who is selling his ready-to-wear and made-to-measure collection. Lutwyche suits are made in England and are hand-cut, fully canvassed and hand-finished. They retail for $4,425 and up.
Lutwyche, who is the official tailor of the British polo team, made an appearance at the store's grand opening last week to fete the Westchester Polo Cup, which was played in nearby Wellington, Fla., on Feb. 21.
With the economic climate the way it is today and the store's reduction in its capital spending budget, Saks could have walked away from the project, but Frasch said he was "pleased that we went forward with it. It was an opportunity to enhance our store in Palm Beach, which is a really good market for Saks."
He said he expects the new men's store to "strengthen our position in men's wear in this market, and we hope to continue to grow our market share in a diminishing universe."

Lesson Plan
Daily Starters: Grades 3–5 Teaching Guide
- Grades: 3–5
Scholastic Daily Starters can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom. Project the day's Daily Starters on a whiteboard for students to do when they first walk in the classroom. Start up classroom computers with the Daily Starter page, or print hard copies for students to work on individually or with partners. The Daily Starters can also be used for small group instruction to review grammar, vocabulary, and English.
Creating a Routine With Daily Starters
Each Grade 3-5 Daily Starter includes four categories of questions and trivia: Language Arts, Math, Fun Fact, and Teachable Moment. The Language Arts and Math questions repeat overarching themes week to week. The themes for both subjects are listed below with suggestions for discussing the answers. The Fun Facts and Teachable Moments, one of each for every weekday, are seasonal, and provide information about most major holidays throughout the school year.
Once you find a routine that works for you and your students, continue the routine established during Week 1 for each week of Daily Starters.
Introducing Language Arts Daily Starters
- Grammar: Students are introduced to a grammatical term and asked to identify it in a sample sentence or write an example that employs the term. Make sure you review the vocabulary terms included in the question as needed.
- Usage and Mechanics: Students may be asked to complete sentence fragments, correct errors in sentences, or identify word and sentence parts in a sample sentence. Make sure you review the vocabulary terms included in the question as needed.
- Word Parts: Students are asked to recognize prefixes, suffixes, and roots in words and determine their meanings. Research finds that students who know the meaning of word parts, such as affixes, can effectively double or triple their vocabularies.
- Word Study: These activities focus on easily confused words that lead to many common spelling or usage errors.
- Word Play: Use these Daily Starters to have fun with words by exploring multiple meanings, idioms, metaphors, similes, and anagrams. Look for multiple meaning words throughout the day.
Introducing Math Daily Starters
- Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Students are asked to apply a variety of operations to solve math problems. They may also be asked to illustrate their work.
- Numbers and Operations in Base 10: Students will be asked to identify the value of an underlined digit. Review place value as needed. For more practice, ask students to identify the values of other digits in the same given numbers.
- Measurement and Data: As students solve these number facts and word problems, they will need to think carefully about the measurement systems used the question. They may be asked to estimate the answer or to round up or down. Review vocabulary as needed.
- Fractions and Geometry: Students will be asked to identify shapes, solve fraction problems, or identify fractional parts in a displayed shape. Review fractional parts of a whole to help students solve the problems. After students have solved the given question, asked them to divide the shape further and name the new fractional parts.
- Word Problems: The word problems cover a variety of operations and Word problems, wherever they appear in Daily Starters, help tie math skills to real-life. Follow up by having students create real-world examples of the word problems, such as applying actual prices, dates, or times.
Introducing Daily Starters Fun Facts and Teachable Moments
Have volunteers read the Fun Facts and Teachable Moments aloud. Talk about each one. Encourage students to think of questions about the topic. Have them record interesting questions about the topics. Keep the question lists as sources for independent project ideas.
Extension and Enrichment Activities for Grades 3–5 Daily Starters
- Word Study Word Wall. Have student illustrate homophones and confusable words. Display them on a bulletin board for students to refer to when they are writing.
- Did You Know? Make bulletin board display of Fun Fact and Teachable Moment tidbits. Have students find additional facts/details and write them sticky notes to attach to the Daily Starter Fun Facts and Teachable Moments bulletin board. Collect them in a class book.
- Fun Fact and Teachable Moment Cloze. Expand the Fun Facts or Teachable Moments to make a cloze reading comprehension activity. Leave the first sentence intact. Then replace each fifth or seventh word with a write-on line. Have students work in pairs or groups of three to fill in the missing words.
- All Sorts of Facts. Write Fun Facts or Teachable Moments on index cards. After a few weeks, have students sort the facts by topic.
- Fact Games. Use the Fun Facts or Teachable Moments for Jeopardy, Concentration, or Charades.
- Subjects:Language Arts, Math, Transitions, Transition Strategies, Routines
- Skills:Grammar and Punctuation, Prefixes and Suffixes, Spelling, Vocabulary

The changing role of China in the transformation of corporate Japan
This conclusion to the special issue, 'Cross-cultural Management Practices in East Asia: Lessons for Japanese MNEs', examines how Japanese firms are responding to, and are affected by, increasing engagement with the Chinese economy. In addition to the three specific themes identified a priori to be of greatest concern to the transformation of corporate Japan (namely marketing and distribution, inter-corporate networks and human resources management), two additional themes can be discerned. These relate to institutional evolution and the challenges of localization. It is concluded that Japanese firms can be shown to demonstrate flexibility in their engagement with China within this analytical framework.

Enjoy this medium/heavy weight Merlot thta will continue to develop in the glass. Avalon recommends decanting the wine, as returning to the glass after a few minutes the cherry aromas really begin to lift out of the glass and the flavors on the palate become richer and more captivating. Smooth, silky and profound berry flavors confirm this wine's birthplace as Napa Valley.
Avalon - AKA Paradise. According to Arthurian legend, the town of Glastonbury in the U.K. was once known as Avalon. Avalon has long been associated with paradise. It is a land of souls. Many believe that King Arthur's soul rests there and will some day rise again to defend England.
Our wines don't cost a king's ransom, but that's exactly what our Winemaker Alex Cose used to make. We joke with him and say, "Make us a wine that tastes like $75, and then let's sell it for about $15".

The January transfer window, also known as "silly season," sees a multitude of links fly in for each club that are simply never going to happen.
For example, why would Aston Villa need Danny Graham? They've already got Darren Bent, Christian Benteke, Andi Weimann and Gabby Agbonlahor?
Here are eight English Premier League transfer rumours that actually make perfect tactical sense.
