Contact(s): Leslie Hershberger, Friends of Horicon Marsh IEC (920) 387-7890
HORICON, Wis. - On Saturday, June 30, from 8 a.m. to Noon, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' wildlife staff will be educating participants about wildlife and the marsh as they paddle the water trail through Horicon Marsh into the Rock River.
The canoe/kayak trail starts at the Greenhead Boat Landing in Mayville and continues through the marsh to the city of Horicon. There will be interpreters from the Wisconsin DNR staff posted at various stopping places along the marked canoe/kayak trail in the marsh. They will briefly cover topics such as the history of Horicon Marsh (old hunting artifacts will be shown), management of the marsh, the four mile island heron rookery, marsh wildlife and be available for any other questions. The wildlife biologist will also be along the route in an airboat (conditions permitting) to show people one of the many management tools used on Horicon Marsh. This is a great opportunity to talk with experts and learn from some of the people that work at the marsh every day. Another management tool, the Marsh Master, will be parked at the Nebraska Street boat landing for people to view. This is where participants will exit the waterway.
Paddlers may bring their own canoes or kayaks and a free shuttle provided by Johnson Bus will be available at the Nebraska Street Boat Landing in Horicon from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to take drivers back to their vehicles at Greenhead. If you would like to participate but don't have your own vessel, you can rent one at Horicon Marsh Boat Tours in Horicon. Horicon Marsh Boat Tours will be running its own shuttles that day to the launch site at Greenhead for an additional fee. For boat rental, canoe/kayak trail maps or other information on paddling the Horicon Marsh, contact (920) 387-7893 or go to www.horiconmarsh.org. GPS coordinates for Greenhead boat landing are N43 30 19.5 W088 35 31.3 and physical address is N8600 Green Head Road, Horicon, WI 53032.

Steelers cut Jonathan Dwyer, activate Heath Miller off PUP
Running back one of 22 cuts as Pittsburgh trims roster to 53 players
The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated Heath Miller off the Physically Unable to Perform list, clearing the way for the two-time Pro Bowl tight end to play in the season opener against Tennessee on Sept. 8.
Miller tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee last December against Cincinnati. He hinted last week he was close to a return, a major boost for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as the Steelers try to bounce back from an 8-8 season. Miller caught a team-high 71 passes for 819 yards and eight touchdowns in 2012.
While Miller is back, running back Jonathan Dwyer is gone.
The Steelers made Dwyer one of 22 cuts as the team pared its roster to 53 players. Dwyer led the Steelers with 623 yards rushing last season but struggled with consistency.

Pittsford, N.Y. — Doug Marrone remembers the feeling.
You walk into the locker room and look around. Nearly half of the people in the room won't be there the next day. Each player is at the ultimate crossroads. Make the team, and you get to go back home and tell everyone you are an NFL football player. Get cut, and you have decisions to make.
"You find yourself saying, 'What's next? What do I do? Do I continue to play? Do I move on with my life?' There are some unbelievable decisions, unbelievable stories," Marrone says. "Within a matter of waking up and going into a locker room, it's a life-changing experience right there."
Marrone knows because he himself has been cut "many times" as he says. That's why the Bills' coach hates this time of year, when in a matter of eight days, the roster will go from 90 players to 53.
"I get emotional believe it or not," Marrone says. "If someone comes and they don't respect the game and they don't really care then I have no problem. 'Hey, appreciate it. Take care.' That's not the case with the guys on this team right now."
It's certainly not the case with former Syracuse center Macky MacPherson, who signed with the Bills as a rookie free agent this offseason. He was a favorite of Marrone at Syracuse and is getting an opportunity to prove whether he can play at the NFL level.
MacPherson stands outside the Bills' locker room on a Tuesday in August, a week before the first cut down date, and realizes he's firmly on the roster bubble. News just came down that the NFL is considering increasing the size of practice squads from eight to 10 players. That's 64 more NFL jobs, MacPherson figures.
"It's not something I'm actively thinking about right now just because I'm trying to play the best football I can," MacPherson says. "But that's always going to be on the back of your mind."
The balancing act is what has kept MacPherson sane through his first NFL training camp. He steps on the field at St. John Fisher College for every practice and plays with urgency, though he says doesn't feel pressure. You can hear the awareness in his voice as he discusses the difficulty of making an NFL roster.
MacPherson is the exact type of player Marrone gets emotional about this time of year. MacPherson says and does the right thing on and off the field. He's smart, tough and understands what Marrone is looking for. It's what helped him become a captain at Syracuse. But in the NFL, people don't always want to talk about the qualities that make MacPherson appealing. It's about size, athleticism and strength. The under-sized MacPherson knows there are teams that wouldn't even look at him because of how tall he is.
"That's probably why I'm here and not somewhere else," he admits.
But he is here, standing outside the Bills' locker room, just like he has been for the last month or so. The deadline is approaching, but it hasn't yet worked its way into the front of MacPherson's mind.
"If I feel all tense and under pressure I won't play well," MacPherson says. "I want to give this my best shot. I want to play to the best of my ability and then make the coaches decide. I don't want them to be like, 'Well, he's not a very good player so we're not going to keep him.'"
Marrone fears that perception — that a player wasn't good enough. It's the worst part about pulling players into his office in late August after they have spent over month beating up their bodies and sacrificing everything just to get a job.
"I have a great deal of respect for these guys and I always get hurt when we say, 'Oh, that guy wasn't good. That guy wasn't this, that guy wasn't that,'" Marrone says. "Just to be able to get to this point in training camp and be able to play and get on the field, we might not think that's a great accomplishment, but what people don't see is the hard work they go through."
MacPherson has that same respect for those around him in the locker room. Part of why he doesn't stress himself out is because he knows everyone else is going through the same fight for a job that he is. He's no different than anyone else.
"It's a business," he says. "You realize that when you get into this."
The cruelty of the business is looming. The first NFL cut down date is on Tuesday, Aug. 26, and the final cut down day is a few days later on Sunday, Aug. 30. Between now and then, MacPherson knows he has at least one preseason game, Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's not sure if or how much he will play, but he plans to make the most of it.
If he survives cuts on Tuesday, MacPherson will get one last audition against the Detroit Lions on Thursday, Aug. 28. Every time he steps on the field, MacPherson is accumulating tape that he can show other teams in the event that he's not a Bill in a few weeks. MacPherson says offensive line coach Pat Morris acknowledges that the team can't keep 15 offensive linemen, but the hope is every player in that offensive line room will find work in the NFL this season, even if it's on a practice squad.
"We're all trying to help each other get jobs," MacPherson says.
At the end of the day, MacPherson says, it's just a game. He's sitting on the wall in full pads staring out at the practice field at St. John Fisher. It's Thursday morning, the final full practice before the Bills return to Orchard Park. The grind is coming to an end, and judgement day is coming. But MacPherson still has a few more reps to take, each one part of the experience he's been soaking in for over a month.
The horn sounds for the start of practice, and a smile spreads across MacPherson's face. He straps his helmet on and jogs onto the field trying to do everything he can to make sure when he walks into the locker room on that fateful day he can leave as an NFL player.
"If that doesn't happen, that's life," MacPherson says.

Note: This is my column in Thursday's Birmingham News.
If Dale Earnhardt Jr. doesn't win again -- and real soon -- law and order may break down completely.
NASCAR fans in general and Junior fans in particular are apparently so despondent over the state of the sport and Junior's consistent finishes in the 30s that some of them have turned to crime and plain old stupid behavior to ease their pain.
For instance, back in April two men were watching the Talladega race on TV while drinking. Combining drinking and Talladega often turns out badly and these two guys decided to ride around town on a horse.
They were arrested and charged with DUI but later beat the rap because a horse technically isn't a vehicle -- unless, of course, it's a Clydesdale.
Now, we don't know if these two guys were Junior fans, but Talladega happened to be the race where Junior finished second -- oh so close to a win smack in the capital of Junior Nation.
Unfortunately he was second banana that day to Brad Keselowski, his protege and employee at Junior Motorsports.
If that's not enough to drive a fan to drink heavily and mount up, I don't know what is.
But then things started to get really serious, as has been noted in a continuing chronicle of the NASCAR-related crime spree at the AllLeftTurns.com blog.
A man wearing a Dale Earnhardt Jr. T-shirt walked into a credit union in Salt Lake City in June, handed the teller a note and robbed the place.
The contents of the note weren't reported. But it wouldn't be surprising if it made reference to Junior's disappointing performance the Sunday before at Michigan International Speedway, exactly one year after his thrilling fuel-mileage win there.
A man wearing a No. 88 hat walked into a credit union in Memphis in July and robbed the place. This was on a Monday, the day after Junior over-revved his engine and blew up at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Notice a pattern here?
Last week in Chattanooga, a man robbed a jewelry store while wielding an assault rifle and wearing a jacket with the Cheerios logo -- formerly the sponsor of Bobby Labonte but now sponsoring Clint Bowyer.
Labonte has been having a terrible year and Bowyer looks like he'll miss the Chase.
It could all be just coincidence.
Or it could be the beginning of the end of civilization, the unraveling of the space-time continuum, the dead rising from the grave.
Or as Bill Murray in Ghostbusters observed: "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!"
Could the stakes possibly be higher entering this week's race at Michigan?
It has been 43 races since Junior's last victory at the same two-mile track, which ended a 76-race winless streak. That means he has one win in the last 120 races, or three and a half seasons.
That's almost the same ratio of wins to losses as Jamie McMurray over that time period, and McMurray is currently looking for a job for next season.
If Junior wrecks and finishes 39th at Michigan like he did at Watkins Glen on Monday I recommend buying gold and hoarding canned goods.

By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Club Reporter
Eagle-eyed United fans may have noticed youngster Michael Richardson warming up with the first team squad pre-match in recent weeks.
But while the 20-year-old former electrician is clearly on the fringes of manager Alan Pardew's star-studded ranks, Richardson is not getting carried away.
Instead he has realistic ambitions between now and the end of the campaign - quite simply to keep developing at Reserve team level and see where that takes him higher up in the Magpies' ranks.
"Playing with the first team and training with the first team is great for me," said the all-action midfielder, who was spotted playing for Walker Central around two years ago.
"It's exciting being a part of it - training with the first team and being part of the matchday squads (against Arsenal, Norwich and West Brom), especially as we are doing so well at the moment in the Premier League.
"There's great spirits in the camp and it's great to be a part of that.
"I just want to keep progressing. You can only do as well as you can playing in the Reserves, training hard and trying to improve.
"There is still a long way to go this season - the first team have got eight games, and if I am involved then great. But I just want to keep progressing and if I do then I'll be happy with that."
Despite his tender years, Richardson was one of the more senior members of a youthful Reserve side which lost 4-1 to West Brom on Thursday afternoon.
And, result aside, he believes the experience will benefit all of those involved in the second-string.
"The result was disappointing in the end, but there were a lot of things to learn from it," said Richardson.
"And as long as we are learning from the game then there is progress.
"There were a lot of young lads out there and it's great for them to play - great experience for them.
"It's a big step up from Academy football to the Reserves, and then Reserves to first team. But the higher you step up the more you can learn from it, and hopefully the younger lads will have learned from this one.
"Being one of the older lads on the pitch it was more about looking after them and leadership than what you're used to when you play with the bigger players. It's good for me and good for them.
"We will go back to the drawing board, keep working at it and come back better in the next game."

JACKSON, MI – Since a fire damaged their house, took a beloved pet and ruined many of their possessions, people from various circles have offered support.
Friends are sharing memories of gatherings at the house and the family is receiving all sorts of donations, including a box of hair products nicer than Stephanie Peterson would purchase for herself.
"We have a lot of love coming from a lot of places," Peterson, 22, said Thursday, March 27.
Peterson; her mother, Pam; and her sister, Hannah, 17, are staying at the home of some friends since the Saturday fire wrecked their house on Mapledale Road in Summit Township, and others too are offering assistance.
Stephanie Peterson's high school friend started an online website, which raised about $2,000; Applebee's, which employs both sisters, is putting together a fund; and the family's congregation, Jackson Free Methodist Church on Park Drive, is helping.
"There are just a lot of people that care a lot about the Petersons," said Lindsay Westin, 22, who set up the gofundme.com page.
The family always has been hospitable, hosting many get-togethers, and she can't imagine their present experience. "They lost their home, and their dog, and they can't find their cat," Westin said. "Things you use that you don't even think about, you don't even have."
The Petersons' Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Abita, died in the fire. The dog joined the family in June. Hannah Peterson had long wanted a puppy and Abita was her reward for the goals she scored last year as a midfielder for the Jackson High School soccer team.
"She was our little angel," Stephanie Peterson said.
The Petersons still have hope they will find their missing kitten, Bell. She is about a year old and served as Abita's buddy. "We probably have 100 pictures of them snuggled up," Stephanie Peterson said.
She said the family is able to salvage some pictures and other items. Stephanie Peterson found a peace ring she had since her junior year in high school and the fire spared a portrait a friend painted of Hannah Peterson in her soccer uniform.
Stephanie Peterson collected some goods when she returned to the house earlier this week. She went to her room, where everything was covered in a layer of soot, but tried to avoid certain areas of the house.
"It was just hard to stomach really," she said.
She said she feels "kind of numb." The family lived in the house for 14 or 15 years and Pam Peterson, a nurse practitioner at Allegiance Health, loved it to be filled with people.
Stephanie Peterson can be around her mother, sister or others who make her feel at home, but her home is gone. "I just love having a place to go back to," said Peterson, who recently returned to Jackson after graduating from Kalamazoo College.
She was not sure what caused the fire. "It was something far out of our control."
Peterson was working at Applebee's when it started. Her mother had come to visit the restaurant and her sister was staying out of town with friends.
Whether they will fix or rebuild the house is yet to be determined, she said.
"There will always be really good memories, but with that being the last memory of the house, I just wouldn't be comfortable being there again."

The Lemoyne Borough Council decided to join the Cumberland County Redevelopment Authority in fronting funds to pay for designs to fix damaged crosswalks on Market Street.
The council Jan. 10 approved a motion to front $6,000; the authority is contributing the same amount.
The damaged crosswalks were part of the first phase of the borough's streetscape project, which was completed in 2010.
The sand between the bricks in the crosswalks has eroded, resulting in the bricks becoming loose and breaking, said Borough Manager Robert Ihlein.
The brick manufacturer, crosswalk designer Kairos Design Group and the insurance company have been discussing the payment of these repairs.
The design project will provide the groups with a cost estimate for the repairs.
Borough Solicitor Michael Cassidy said it's reasonable for borough officials to expect reimbursement by the insurance company, designer and manufacturer for the cost of the engineering services.
A lawsuit has been filed against Kairos and the brick manufacturer because of the damaged crosswalks.

The COD series has actually sold very well on the Wii, obviously not as well as on the 360 but still good for a multiplatform series.
I think that the Modern Warfare series is pretty much dead now though, after the overhyped mess that was MW2 on 360/PS3 (thank god that wasn't released on the Wii and we got Reflex instead) and the gimping of the PC version a lot of people have had enough of the series. With that in mind, MW3 might actually do better if it was a Wii exclusive.

Question from Lupita
December 30, 2011 at 8:54pm
I really need advice on this please. I am 25ou and have been living with my mother on and off through 2011. I have a 10 month old daughter also now my mom wants to claim my daughter as a dependant but I have been paying her between two and three hundred for living with her her with my social security disability money I recieve. Can she do this especially since I hace been allowing her to claim me on taxes every year and havent lived with her most of the time.
in the past also when I let her claim me after age 18 she would only give me around 600 dollars in taxes when I would work a job.
Answer: Lupita - Thank you for your question.
There are specifc rules or tests which must be met that allows someone to claim another person as a dependent on their tax return.
It is not clear to me if you are asking about your status as a dependent and well as the status of your daughter, so I will try to address both issues. The information I share with you is based on the facts you included in your question.
In order to claim someone as a dependent, four general requirements must be met. Those requirements are:
You cannot claim any dependents if you, or your spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.
You cannot claim a married person who files a joint return as a dependent unless that joint return is only a claim for refund and there would be no tax liability for either spouse on separate returns.
You cannot claim a person as a dependent unless that person is a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico.1
You cannot claim a person as a dependent unless that person is your qualifying child or qualifying relative.
It is possible that both you and your mother meet these requirements, unless your mother can still claim you as a dependent.
Next you have to look at the rules to be a qualifying child or a qualifying relative.
You are not a qualifying child for your mother due to your age. However, you may be her dependent under the qualifying relative rules.
These are the tests to be a qualifying relative:
The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer.
The person either (a) must be related to you in one of the ways listed under Relatives who do not have to live with you , or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household2 (and your relationship must not violate local law).
The person's gross income for the year must be less than $3,700.3
You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.4
Based on the information in your question, you may still be a dependent of your mother if she provided more that half of your total support for the year.
If you are a dependent of your mother, you cannot claim any dependents.
It is possible that your daughter is a qualifying child for both you and your mother.
These are the qualifying child tests:
The child must be your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them.
The child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), (b) under age 24 at the end of the year, a full-time student, and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled.
The child must have lived with you for more than half of the year.2
The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.
The child is not filing a joint return for the year (unless that joint return is filed only as a claim for refund)
Again, based on what you have included in your question, your daughter may be a qualifying child for both you and your mother.
There are tie-breaker rules in place for situations where one person qualifies as a dependent for more than one person.
Those details are explained in IRS Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information.
This publication also covers the rules concerning eligibility to claim a dependent. You can order, read, download or order this publication at the IRS web site, www.irs.gov.
You may want to go over the information in Publiation 501 with your mother so both of you can be sure that only the person eligible to make the dependency claim does so on their tax return.
Due to the limited information included with your question, I am not able to give you a more specific answer.

Cape Breton Post - TC Media
New Victoria man says search crews desperately looking for answers to fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
A former 14 Wing Greenwood pilot involved in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet says the mission is emotional and people want answers.
"The world is counting on us," said Capt. Mike MacSween,.
The 36-year-old Cape Breton native serves with the Royal Canadian Air Force and is currently on a three-year exchange program with the Royal Australian Air Force.
"One of the hard things for myself and the crew — everyone is so motivated and really hoping to find something on these missions, something to positively link it to the aircraft."
Malaysia Airlines flight 370 vanished from civilian radar March 8 less than an hour after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board. The Malaysian prime minister recently told families the plane crashed in the ocean, but some are still clinging to hope for their loved ones.
MacSween, a flight commander in charge of a 12-man crew, said he can't imagine what the families are going through and search crews are trying to get answers.
"What we are searching for is any debris. I guess there is always hope but it's getting slimmer, obviously, as the days go by," he said.
"None of the debris spotted has been recovered by a ship. People are waiting for the definite. If there would be something concrete located as part of the airplane, I think people would be able to accept it a lot easier. "Unfortunately we haven't found anything like that yet."
Read more about MacSween's involvement in the search.
MacSween said his crew did spot debris this week.
"On our second flight we were able to locate two items in the water.
"Because of the weather — the weather is so bad — we weren't able to relocate them again after we saw them."
MacSween said his crew sent the position of those items to one of the Australian navy's warships in the area but the seas were too high.
MacSween has been stationed at the Royal Australian Air Force's Base Pearce — 35 kilometres north of Perth — since Friday.
He said the magnitude of the situation has the world waiting for any update.
"We were the first plane to take off (Thursday) at 6 a.m. and the first to come back as well. After landing there are hundreds of media waiting for an update."
He said it's a four-hour flight to the search location.
"We spend anywhere between two and three hours searching. Then it takes us another four to get back after that."
MacSween said the search Thursday included 11 aircraft.
Aircraft from Australia, New Zealand, United States, China, South Korea, Japan and the United States, as well as civilian planes, have been assisting with the efforts.
He said a challenging part of the mission has been the weather. On Thursday, the search was called off halfway through the day because of the conditions, which included low clouds, low visibility, high winds and rough seas.
"We are hoping the weather is going to give us a break one of these days so we can have a little bit of a relief and get some accurate searching done."
MacSween said there is a lot of risk involved in the search — at times they are flying as low as 100 feet above the water.
"We fly low and through some pretty bad weather. It can be very challenging.
"Normally we try to conduct our searches at 500 feet, but it depends on the weather in the area — it could be lower or higher."
Before each flight, a tasking message is issued by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, he said.
"Each day each of those aircrafts will be given a slightly different area. There is a lot of science and experts involved in which areas to be searching."
The Indian Ocean is 68,556,000 square kilometres in area.
MacSween said there is specialized equipment on board the planes, including radar and sophisticated cameras.
"The other thing which we rely on is visual lookouts — people in the windows with their eyes out searching the ocean," he said.
"We have a lot more sophisticated items on the aircraft but when it come down to the tasking, we are actually doing a visual search of the area. A lot of it is just relying on people looking out the window looking for things."
MacSween says he gets back to Cape Breton to visit parents Karen and Kevin MacSween of New Victoria as often as possible. His parents have visited his family — wife Allison and children Madeline, 5, and Levi, 2 — twice already in Australia.
He's not sure where the Royal Canadian Air Force will be posting him after the exchange ends, but is hoping to go back to CFB Greenwood.
"That's one of the biggest reasons I want to go back to Greenwood — to bring the things I've learned here back there."

The Franklin Elementary School PTO hosted its annual parent-teacher social and fundraiser on March 29 at Shackamaxon Country Club, where approximately 200 guests attended.
Two local newscasters acted as the evening's hosts. Westfield's own Joe Nolan, on-air reporter for WCBS-TV, ESPN Radio, and stadium voice for the New York Jets and Rutgers football, emceed the event along with television and radio personality Chris Carlin, co-host of New York Mets' telecasts and the play-by-play voice for Rutgers football and men's basketball games.
The school's music teacher, Brent Geyer, entertained the crowd with live piano music during cocktail hour. Guests were inspired to "shake their winter blues" thanks to musician Tim Kelly and the local band, It's What You Think, featuring "Franklin dad" Dan Ortolani with Ellen Pluta and Sarah Riffel.
According to event co-chairs Clarissa Taylor and Christine Rossin, who celebrated the evening's success, proceeds will help upgrade technology throughout Franklin School. A key technological improvement will be the installation of a state-of-the-art, audio-visual system in the gymnasium/auditorium area. This new system would vastly improve communications for cultural arts assemblies and other educational presentations.
"Tonight is a perfect example of how together, we can make a difference in our children's education!" said Taylor.

Stop the press! Or at least Kevin Freking of the Associated Press from writing misleading items for economics-deficient newspapers like The Star-Ledger ("Dems' health plans far from socialized medicine," May 12).
"Call it Obamacare or call it Clintoncare," proclaims Freking, "but don't call it 'socialized medicine.'" He then derides GOP presidential candidate John McCain for having described the health care plans of his two liberal opponents as a "move closer to a nationalized health care system." That's "a stretch," Freking declares. He defines "to nationalize" as "to transfer ownership or control to the government." He ignores the "or control" in his own definition.
The fact is that liberals, since the days of LBJ, have been trying to run the private sector without taking any of the responsibilities of ownership. Calling this a "Democrat" plan is the real stretch. I revered FDR and voted for Harry Truman and JFK because they took full responsibility for their policies. Liberals ever since have been blaming their failures on "racists," "Big Business," "Republican conspiracies," "special interests" and "the rich."

Several times a year, we are visited by Carol and J. Boyd Ingram, who come down from Batesville, Miss., a short ride west of Oxford, which is the home of the University of Mississippi. (That's Ole Miss to all you football fans.)
We became fast friends with the Ingrams about 15 years ago when they bought a small cottage on Bayou Teche in our neighborhood. They have an insatiable interest in our area and probably know more about the history, food and local gossip than we do. They subscribe to our local paper to keep up with what's going on in their adopted town. Every trip here includes visits to local eateries (the Boiling Point near New Iberia is where they get their fill of boiled crawfish) day trips to Avery Island, Breaux Bridge, New Iberia or Lafayette, and of course, a dinner or two at our house.
With true Southern hospitality, Carol never fails to offer to contribute to whatever meal we share. I have learned, however, not to ask her to bring a salad. She admits to having absolutely no flair for this item, and in fact is proud to tell you she owns no salad bowls. But she never fails to bring dessert. Sometimes it's a fabulous confection from Poupart's bakery in Lafayette, but oftentimes it's something of her own creation.
Just last week, over the Mardi Gras weekend, she brought a velvety cheesecake that my husband, Rock, tried to inhale at one sitting. I, too, admitted it was a winner. Different from most dense, cream-cheese-packed over-the-top rich cheesecakes (which I adore), it was not very thick and was creamy smooth with no bottom crust. Of course, I asked her for the recipe, which she rattled off from memory. She warned me that it's best to use any store-brand cream cheese, rather than the more popular brand (you know, the one in the silver package) since she finds it a bit too dense.
Carol's Cheesecake
Makes 1 cake to serve 6 to 8
16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 eggs, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
8 ounces sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a pie plate with vegetable spray and set aside.
Beat the cream cheese, eggs, sugar and almond extract with a hand-held electric mixer until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand until cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
Combine the sour cream, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Pour over the cooled cream cheese mixture. Return to the oven and make for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool completely, cover loosely with wax paper and refrigerate for 2 to 4 days. Slice to serve.
Carol says she often spoons macerated fruit over the cheesecake. I thought of drizzling chocolate sauce or sprinkling shaved chocolate, but that's entirely between you and your taste buds.
As soon as we made our Creole goodbyes and they left for Batesville, Rock couldn't wait to get his hands on the recipe to make that cheesecake. While he devoured it, he reminded me that I hadn't made him "that Italian cheesecake made with ricotta" for a while.
OK, my darling, we shall have it for Sunday night dessert.
Italian Cheesecake
Makes one cake, about 8 servings
1 1/2 pounds whole milk ricotta cheese
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup candied orange
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
Combine the cheese, sugar and four tablespoons of the flour in a bowl. Mix together the eggs and the almond extract and gradually add to the cheese mixture. Pour the mixture into the springform pan.
Toss the candied orange with the remaining two tablespoons flour to coat evenly. Shake off any excess, then sprinkle the fruit over the top of the cheesecake. Bake for 40 minutes, or until it sets. Turn off the oven and open the door slightly. Let cheesecake remain in the oven for one hour.
Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely. It can then be covered and refrigerated.

What is in this article?:
- Chipping away at feed costs boosts cow-calf profits
- Extending grazing season
• Finding areas to cut costs without impacting performance is critical for cow-calf producers to remain profitable.
More About:
Beef cow-calf producers have seen a drastic increase in the prices they receive for cattle over the last 10 years.
Unfortunately, the cost of production has risen at a comparable rate over this same time frame. Cost of fuel, fertilizer, machinery and drought have driven feed production costs to levels, offsetting profit.
Critical cost of production analysis can give cattle producers an opportunity to find expenses that can be reduced.
Pasture rates should be evaluated. The cost of renting pasture has risen across much of the Midwest due to pressure from grain and forage production. As cost of pasture increases, the need to intensively manage those acres increases.
Utilizing management intensive grazing practices is an important aspect of increasing productivity of those acres. Better grazing practices will improve quality of the forage and increase yield.
Cows will gain condition and weight, which can lead to better pregnancy conception rates and put cows in position to allow for marginal forages to be fed through the winter months.
Better pastures allow better calf gains and higher gross sales.
In various locations of the country, rental rates have not been pressured to the same extent. In these situations, pasture yield can be increased by renting more acres.
Practices, such as fertilization, should be evaluated to determine cost effectiveness. If pasture costs are at a premium, increasing productivity is important.
In areas where pasture acres are readily available and not overly expensive, simply renting more acres may be a more economical decision.
Decreasing hay production by extending the grazing season can have major impact on the cost of feeding the cow herd. As a Michigan State University Extension ruminant educator, I have worked with producers across the Midwest who continually implement production practices that allow cattle to graze further into the winter and earlier in the spring.

Pivot, I'm not Mark but maybe my perspective would be helpful to you.
I used almond flour and almond milk pretty heavily when I first went primal, for the very same purposes you describe. There is nothing wrong with them, although the almond milk you buy in the store is not really a natural food. It's more like a watered-down almond extract with some added vitamins.
After almost two years of primal, I now avoid them both. Having high PUFA, incomplete protein, and some phytates, almond products are simply not as nutritionally dense or biologically appropriate as other foods like meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables. But if they help you keep away from grain and sugar, and if you feel good after you eat them, they're nothing to worry about.
Pigs being omnivores can't get all their food from a typical pasture. I've never seen "organic" pork but good store brands will be hormone- and antibiotic-free. The best pigs are fed a variety of meat and vegetables. If you really want quality, talk to the pork farmers at your local farmer's market.
Honey is basically sucrose with some helpful enzymes and pollen. Pretty close to empty calories, but it won't hurt much in small amounts.
Hope this is helpful to you. All of this is really just fine-tuning. It sounds like you know your stuff.

To the Editor:
"Political terrorists" have irreparably disrupted and traumatized the education of innocent elementary school children in Burlington Township (by holding a rally last week to protest the school's inclusion of a song about Barack Obama in a February assembly). The reason they feel no shame is because they have no moral integrity and no respect for any other opinion than their own.
Their actions are nothing more than educational bullying and community
terrorism. That in and of itself is conspiracy to indoctrinate.
For any uniformed lemmings, the New Jersey Core Content Standards, the mandated curriculum guides for all public schools, promotes the study and appreciation of the cultural contributions of all groups of Americans.
So, schoolchildren, with parent approval, voluntarily participate in enrichment lessons and activities such as celebrating the contributions of Americans from Asian, African, European, Hispanic/Latino, and Native American descent, along with the achievements of women. That's not indoctrination, that's providing children with a quality comprehensive, academic and social education.
Maybe it's the demonstrators who should go back to school!
Every president prior to Obama has felt it was his duty as the leader of our country to make a positive address to the next generation. Did Washington "indoctrinate?" How about Jefferson, Lincoln, the Roosevelts, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan and the Bushes? All of them also gave some positive, motivational message to young citizens about love of country and personal responsibility.
If the protesters don't have a problem with those presidents, then how did Obama establish a new precedent? To equate our current president with Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, etc., is to defame all our previous presidents who did the exact same thing.
Actually, the real "indoctrination" of school children in the United States — and probably almost every other country promoting nationalistic pride and order — begins with parental and governmental approval of all types of early-life rote learning. This can include items such as manners, respect for the law, personal responsibility, hygiene, safety, the pledge to the flag, etc. This rote learning occurs even though the children frequently don't realize the significance of the words until much later.
This certainly did not start with President Obama. So, learn some history! And quit terrorizing parents and their children with disgusting behavior and campaigns of disinformation.

George Fraser: 'Blacks Must Become No. 1 Employer of Other Blacks'
Hazel Trice Edney | 12/5/2012, 1:59 p.m.
There are more than 9,000 Black public officials in America, yet African-Americans remain at the rock bottom of every negative statistic in crime, health, economics and education.
This is the reason that one lecturer and award-winning author says the Black community must pay equal attention to business ownership, economic development and wealth as it does to political empowerment.
"Your wealth will determine where you live, where you live will determine where your children go to school, where your children go to school will determine the quality of your children's higher education; and the quality of your children's higher education will determine your children's life-long earnings," George Fraser told a group at last week's State of the Black World Conference at Howard University. "And your children's life-long earnings will determine where your grandchildren live and where your grandchildren live will determine where your grandchildren will go to school and where your grandchildren go to school will determine the quality of their higher education and their life-long earnings. Do you understand the cycle of poverty here?"
Fraser was one of dozens of speakers during the conference that drew more than 300 people. Other high profiled names included Susan Taylor, Julianne Malveaux, Elsie Scott, Melanie Campbell, George Curry, Hilary Shelton, and Jeff Johnson
In a session on economics, Fraser pinpointed what he says is the number one issue that Blacks should be dealing with - Black wealth.
"We are not poor. We're just broke," he told the audience, some of whom shouted "Speak!" "Tell the Truth!" and other words of agreement. Some even moaned, rocked and shook their heads as he spoke. "We have a $900 billion annual economy. If we were a nation, we'd be the fourteenth richest nation in the world."
Fraser said with the "intellectual capital" in the Black community, there is no reason that African-Americans should be as economically destitute as they are. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, 25 percent of African-Americans live below the poverty level and fewer than 5 percent of small businesses are owned by Black people. Yet, Fraser estimated that Blacks have multiplied W.E.B DuBois' dream of the talented tenth more than 70 times when counting the number of African-Americans with college degrees.
Fraser was one of dozens of speakers during the conference that drew more than 300 people. Other high profiled names included Susan Taylor, Julianne Malveaux, Elsie Scott, Melanie Campbell, George Curry, Hilary Shelton, and Jeff Johnson.
Fraser's econonics message comes as African-Americans are hoping that President Barack Obama will do something special to deal with the Black jobless rate, which remains in double digits even as the national average has dipped below 8 percent. Fraser says it is unfair to put pressure sole on politicians and challenged the audience to take a lesson from communities of Jews, Asians, East Indians, and Arabs.
"Every immigrant group that has ever come to this country is now the number one employers of their own people," he stressed. "We too must become the number one employers of our own people. Why? Because the only way to raise up the poor is to create work and jobs for your own people."
Announcing an entrepreneurship conference he is holding this summer, Fraser said he believes it will take a full century for African-Americans to gain the strength that they could have by establishing their own businesses, employing each other and supporting each other economically. But the key is unity, he says.
"The idea that the Black community can exercise affective power - political or otherwise - without simultaneously exercising economic power is fantasy...So, we have to make sure we fix this," he said. "When we were unified around slavery, we freed ourselves...We were unified around civil rights, voting rights and public access in media...We have to be unified now around building wealth...We have everything we need to succeed except each other."

A "Wandering" New Yorker, Settled Down in Beantown
I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up in a wealthy, Long Island suburb of New York City. It was a wonderful and safe place but following high school I left and haven't been back. I studied in Upstate New York, then post graduation I lived in lots of places on the East Coast, including Northern Virginia (Woodbridge), Washington D.C., Eastern Pennsylvania (Reading), New York City and Boston. I've visited cities in the Midwest, like Chicago, Louisville, Indianapolis and St. Louis. No matter where I lived or visited, I always wanted to explore parts of the US further West.
My first time West of the Mississippi was in 1997. That summer I explored Colorado, working and playing in the front range of the Rockies, and traveled around the rest of the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego. On that trip I fell in love with San Francisco. That following Winter back in Boston, for my second year of business school, I decided with the woman that was to become my wife to move West. Melissa and I spent twelve years in San Francisco. We started our careers and our family out there. Married and with three kids, we moved back to Boston in 2011. After all the exploring and wandering (geographically speaking), our real life journey begins!
Here are a few more things to know about me…
- Avid baseball fan whose fav Yankee is #15
- Married to the coolest Red Sox fan (Murphy's Law)
- Proud dad of 3 energetic boys & a Border Collie mix
- Entrepreneurial minded, online media and marketing pro
- Lover of things 'old school', including work ethics and rap music
The One-Fiver blog is a free-style rap about anything that is top of mind, either personal or business. I hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute your feedback.

GRAND RAPIDS — A new hotel could be on its way to a downtown site near Van Andel Arena that was slated for a condominium project.
A developer plans to spend at least $10 million on an all-suites hotel and restaurant under a plan set to be unveiled at Tuesday's Downtown Development Authority meeting.
The proposed Cambria Suites hotel is part of Choice Hotels International's portfolio of franchised properties. The brand typically focuses on urban areas and features contemporary styling and a casual bistro. The brand competes in with Courtyard by Marriott, Hyatt Place and other middle-end brands.
Renderings of the project show an eight-story building at 45 Ionia Ave. SW. The property is a city-operated parking lot that was the planned site of the now-canceled Tall House condos.
The project is one of at least six hotels proposed in the past two years. So far none of the other projects has moved forward, with developers citing the difficult financing environment, high construction costs and other factors for either canceling or delaying their developments.
Representatives of the developer, listed as GT RIDMG Inc., of Fort Wayne, Ind., in documents provided to the DDA, are expected to be at the development authority meeting to discuss the plan.
The DDA will need to approve a modified agreement that allows the property's owners to develop a hotel rather than the residential/mixed-use condo project originally approved for Tall House Enterprises, whose sale of the property is contingent on the agreement.
The Tall House condo project was canceled in 2008 after developers failed to secure enough presales to get construction financing.

Michigan property division
When a couple dissolves their relationship, property division can be one of the most important and complicated issues. Property division includes both assets, (such as real estate, personal belongings, automobiles, stocks, bank accounts, pensions), as well as debts. Your Michigan Divorce Lawyers have the answers you need.
Let our exceptional legal team help you . . .,
Resources and Answers to your questions
- Property division in Michigan explained
- The Law – Cases and statutes on property division in Michigan
- Articles – on property division in Michigan
- What is marital and separate property?
- How is property divided?
Property division in Michigan explained
In every divorce case property (which includes both assets, liabilities, land and personal property) must be divided. As a general rule, court's are only concerned with property acquired during the course of the marriage. While there is no requirement that property should be divided equally, the division of property should at a minimum be fair.
In addition to the general rules of property division, a competent divorce lawyer will also take into considerations the tax consequences and present/future value of an asset or liability to benefit his/her client. For example, it is not appropriate to exchange a tax deferred asset, such as an IRA or a 401(K) with a cash asset like equity in a home, without understanding and "tax-effecting" the assets.
Marital and separate property
Courts distinguish between marital property and separate property.
- Separate property is typically property acquired before the parties married.
- Marital property is typically property acquired during the marriage.
Michigan has adopted a doctrine called the doctrine of non-invasion of separate property. As a general rule, separate property (before marriage) is awarded to the party who owned the property prior to marriage, unless the other party substantially contributed to its acquisition or appreciation or the estate is otherwise insufficient. (For example, if you purchased your home before marriage, the increase in value of the property during the marriage will often be considered marital.)
Defining specific property as marital, separate or both can have a significant impact on a property award. Michigan divorce law provides many exceptions to these general rules.
Exceptions to the general rules:
Lawyers love exceptions, and Michigan divorce property law has plenty of them. For example, property that is acquired during cohabitation is generally not considered marital property (Reeves vs. Reeves). However, pre-marital contributions towards property acquired before marriage that are also "readily traceable to a separate source" may be considered marital property under another exception to the doctrine of non-invasion of separate property.
So which is correct, the answer is both. Property acquired during cohabitation may become marital property if the property is readily traceable to a separate source. Therefore, if you put a down payment on your home before you married, you generally will get it back unless it was commingled and no longer "readily traceable to a separate source". This occurs in instances where the parties have refinanced a home, or sold a home to purchase another.
On the other hand, if you contributed to a home before marriage that is in the name of your spouse, the home may still be considered marital property.
Another common exception deals with when a marriage ends for property division purposes. The majority view is that property division is from the date of marriage to the date of divorce (Byington vs. Byington). However, some court's utilize when the parties separate or manifest an intent to live separate lives (Wilson vs. Wilson)
Separate property can also become marital property, if the estate is insufficient for the suitable maintenance and support of the other party.
Other exceptions to the general rules set forth above include active vs. passive appreciation, gifted property, inherited property, and commingled property.
- Passive appreciation is generally considered separate property under Michigan divorce law. (e.g. a CD)
- Active appreciation is generally considered marital property under Michigan divorce law. (e.g. a managed brokerage account or 401(k) where trades were made during the marriage.
- Gifted and inherited property is generally considered separate property under Michigan divorce law.
- Commingled separate property can become marital if the property is no longer "readily traceable to a separate source".
Skilled lawyers apply the exception's to these general rules.
How is property divided?
Michigan divorce law promotes an equitable distribution of property. There is no requirement that property awarded to each party be equal, but at a minimum should be fair. Our Michigan divorce attorneys know the rules, and will help you understand them.
In determining the distribution of property in a Michigan divorce, your divorce lawyer will advise you that the courts take the following into consideration:
- The source of the property;
- Who contributed toward the acquisition of the property;
- The length of the marriage;
- The needs of the children, if any;
- The earning powers of the parties;
- Who is "at-fault" or "caused" the Divorce.
- The health of the parties
- The age of the parities.
Skilled Michigan divorce lawyers also use various techniques to help their clients including valuation methodologies and tax effecting assets. Sometimes, your Michigan divorce attorney will recommend hiring an expert to help tax effect or value certain assets.
We want to be here for you. If you have a question about how Michigan divorce law would apply to your situation, call, email or set up a confidential consultation with your Michigan divorce specialists. We are ready to help.

Inherited property

Bywater v Bywater 128, Mich App 396 (1983) A personal injury award for pain and suffering is personal to the injured party and should be taken into account in the same manner as separate property.

Sitting at the Brewster General Store reading Bob Ryan's column on the fading career of Tiger Woods and came across a quick mention of the latest most popular athlete poll.
Turns out Tiger Woods, despite all his troubles and bad press, is tied with Kobe Bryant atop the latest most popular athlete poll.
Now while I am far from a prude when it comes to matters of the skin and heart, I am left to wonder, "Is this the best we can do?"
The Harris interactive poll conducted last month questioned 2200 plus adults, and for the first time since 2006 Woods didn't hold the top spot alone.
Kobe Bryant, fresh off another NBA Championship with the Lakers, shared top billing with Woods. And oddly enough, Derek Jeter, the ultimate All-American athlete, was ranked third.
Of course we have no idea what Derek Jeter has been up to all these years, but Woods and Bryant have owned the fallen angel spotlight at one time or another.
Tiger and his litany of mistresses, and Kobe for his sex scandal involving a hotel employee in 2003.
Joining Tiger and Kobe in the top 10 were Jeter, Brett Favre, and Peyton Manning.
The next five were Lebron James, pre-Decision, Michael Jordan was seventh, followed by Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
We can do better, we need to do better.

The Chicopee Comprehensive High School girls volleyball team could easily have begun to panic knowing it would open the season against five of the traditional powerhouses in Western Massachusetts.
Through three matches against the Eastern Division, however, the Colts are showing they should be included in that club as well.
Led by solid team defense, Comp upset six-time defending Division II sectional champion Longmeadow 25-22, 19-25, 25-22, 25-19 on Tuesday. Kacey Legare led the Colts with 19 digs, eight kills, three blocks and nine assists.
Comp began the season with a win over Agawam before suffering a difficult five-set loss to Amherst. By beating the Lancers, the Colts are 2-1 with showdowns upcoming against eight-time Division III sectional champion Frontier on Thursday and last year's Division II runner-up Minnechaug next Wednesday.
"I think my girls are beginning to believe, 'Hey, we can beat these guys,'" Comp coach Al Dobson said. "That was a critical win."
Ashleigh Clark put down 11 kills and made three blocks for the Colts, who play in the Western Division. Sasha Roberts and Amanda Robare made 20 and 17 digs, respectively.
"Defensively, we played awesome tonight," Dobson said.
Emma Robin paced Longmeadow with nine kills and three blocks. Mary Marchese notched 31 digs, and Savannah Ditomassi had 15 kills.
