HALIFAX — Police are investigating after a suspicious device was found near an apartment building that forced the temporary evacuation of residents.
They say they were called to the building on Parker Street in Dartmouth at about 6 p.m. Tuesday and decided to get the tenants to leave.
They were loaded onto Metro Transit buses while officials inspected the device.
Emergency health and fire officials assisted, along with an explosive device unit that used a robot with a water disruptor to dismantle the device.
A canine unit searched the area around the building for any other packages and tenants were allowed back in at 10 p.m.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.

Politicians and celebrities are lobbying for healthier meals to be served in schools and at home to help fight childhood obesity and related diseases.
According to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, the Healthy School Meals Act of 2010 was introduced in March by Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado. The bill, which is supported by the PCRM, aims to reverse America's rising tide of childhood obesity by encouraging the inclusion of healthy vegetarian options in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. The percentage of overweight and obese children is now at or above 30 percent in 30 states, according to a recent report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. For more information visit www.healthyschoollunches.org.
Jamie Oliver is a Food Network Chef and host of the ABC TV show, "Food Revolution." Through his show, he is working to change the nation's eating habits. Through "Food Revolution" Oliver is spearheading a nationwide petition to save cooking skills and improve school food.
Oliver's petition asks government to:
- Put meals cooked from fresh food at the heart of the school lunch program.
- Find more money for better food.
- Make radical improvements to school nutrition standards.
- Recognize cafeteria workers for the important work they do.
- Put professional cooks in charge.
- Teach every child in America to cook.

text: Explore The Maritime Provinces Nova Scotia Cape Breton Island New Brunswick Prince Edward Island Share The forty thousand United Empire Loyalists who streamed north from America to British Canada in the aftermath of the American War of Independence accounted for a sizeable chunk of the New England population. Many had been subjected to reprisals by their revolutionary neighbours and most arrived virtually penniless in the 1780s. All but eight thousand settled in the Maritime Provinces, where they and their descendants formed the kernel of powerful commercial and political cliques. As a result, the Loyalists have frequently – and not altogether unfairly – been pilloried as arch-conservatives. In fact they were far from docile royalists: shortly after their arrival in Canada they were pressing the British for their own elective assemblies. Crucially, they were also to instil in their new country an abiding dislike for the American version of republican democracy – and this has remained a key sentiment threading through Canadian history. Before their enforced exile, the Loyalists conducted a fierce debate with their more radical compatriots, but whereas almost everyone today knows the names of the revolutionary leaders, the Loyalists are forgotten. The Loyalist argument had several strands: loyalty to Britain, fear of war and other European powers, the righteousness or otherwise of civil obedience and, rather more subliminally, the traditional English Tory belief that men live most freely in a hierarchical society where roles are clearly understood.

By Donna Ditota
Staff Writer
Jonny Flynn considered taking a dribble, but worried that the buzzer would beat him to the final shot.
So the Syracuse University point guard tried to square his shoulders, tried to hoist up one more heroic shot on a night when his team depended so much on him.
The ball left his hand, but never reached the rim. Fittingly, Paul Harris caught it and flipped it in, after the buzzer had already signalled the end of an evening.
Flynn and Harris, the two Niagara Falls boys, could only carry SU so far.
That miss ended the game and allowed Connecticut to leave the Carrier Dome with a 63-61 win over the Orange before 23,721 fans.
Syracuse, which had won three consecutive games, dropped to 16-8 overall and 6-5 in the Big East. Connecticut won its sixth straight to improve to 17-5 and 7-3.
"Right when I let it go, I just knew," Flynn said. "I didn't have my body square. And I was like 30 feet out."
That Flynn's shot might even make a difference seemed remarkable, considering how difficult it seemed for almost everyone wearing an SU shirt to score.
The Orange, who came into the game shooting 46 percent in Big East Conference games, made just 37 percent of its attempts against the Huskies and their newly installed 2-3 zone.
Donte Greene, at 2-for-15, was the worst Orange offender. UConn coach Jim Calhoun said he installed the zone this week because he worried that his Huskies could not match up man-to-man with the Orange in general and with Greene and Harris in particular.
The Huskies zone, Calhoun said, was designed with special emphasis to shadow Greene wherever he roamed. But UConn's true defensive push came in the middle, where Hasheem Thabeet and cohorts combined to make life miserable for any Orange man who dared to take the ball to the rim.
During one four and a half minute stretch of the second half, Uconn went on a 9-0 run fueled by a series of blocked shots.
Thabeet, who stands 7-foot-3 and leads the league in swatted shots, made a few of them. But Jeff Adrien and Stanley Robinson batted balls in there, too.
Suddenly, SU, a team that thrives on taking the ball to the rim, seemed too tentative to take it inside and challenge the big bodies. Greene missed two 3-pointers. At one point, Arinze Onuaku, who has been so solid inside for SU this season, caught the ball near the low block and passed it out without so much as glancing at the basket.
Boeheim screamed at him to challenge Thabeet and Harris, too, yelled in frustration.
"They blocked a lot of shots," Harris said. "It could have probably intimidated us, I don't know. He didn't score very much, but Thabeet, them blocked shots just changed the game."
"The first half, we were going right in his chest. We were jumping in his chest, getting him in foul trouble. But in the second half, we started going in there lacksadasical," Flynn said. "Letting him like 'Here you go,' like we were playing volleyball and setting him up for a spike or something like that. We just lost that line to go after him and smell blood and go for the kill.'
Flynn and Harris, so spectacular in the Orange men's road win at Villanova, were unfazed by all those blocked and altered shots (UConn finished with 8 blocks). The pair kept a constant assault on the UConn defense all night.
Harris scored 24 points and collected 11 rebounds and Flynn had 20 points and six assists. The two combined to score SU's final 11 points. Flynn drained two 3-pointers, Harris sank one of his own and then defied Thabeet by driving the lane and shoving a shot over him.
Last game, the two backcourt mates scored 52 of their team's 87 points. On Wednesday, Flynn and Harris accounted for 44 of SU's 61.
"I thought both guys were really good," SU coach Jim Boeheim said. "But they didn't get much help."
Connecticut relied on its own two stars to carry the load. Adrien finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds. And A.J. Price scored 14 and collected six assists.
The Orange men, who led the Big East in conference rebound margin, lost that battle to relentless Connecticut rebounders in the second half. SU was outrebounded 42-34.
But the real damage came during that critical juncture of the second half, when the Huskies blocked shots and refused to allow SU to score.
"We just went through a stretch of not scoring," Boeheim said. "And you can't do that."

After a nasty little bout with bronchitis, I'm happy to be resuming normal daily activities. Not the least of which is finding all the wonderful little city tidbits to which we all ought to be paying attention!
Here's a fun tool Metro has put together. Click on "build your system." Here's what Metro has to say about this great way to solicit community input...
On March 23, Metro launched an online build-a-system tool and questionnaire as part of the prioritization process for the High Capacity Transit System Plan. The plan will guide the region's investments in high capacity transit - light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit or rapid streetcar. The tool and questionnaire are available through April 24 at www.oregonmetro.gov/goingplaces.
The build-a-system tool allows users to be "virtual planners," choosing which high capacity transit lines to build within a limited budget. Users balance trade-offs such as ridership, cost, connection to attractions and institutions, and carbon emission reduction to create the system that they would like to see.
The tool is coupled with a questionnaire addressing the project's evaluation criteria to help Metro understand the values that drive people's thinking on transit investments. Responses to the questionnaire will be used to balance the region's priorities as Metro evaluates potential new lines and improvements to the current system.
The community values generated by the tool and questionnaire will be used by Metro and local jurisdictions in considering the choices and investments needed to successfully implement high capacity transit in a way that encourages rebuilding in centers and corridors. Knowing that high capacity transit is a powerful tool to help build vibrant, prosperous and sustainable communities, the feedback will also inform the Regional Transportation Plan update and support the aspirations of local communities.

Current Campaign Work
What you can do to get involved
What Allfie has achieved
Working to end segregation and promote inclusion within the education system where inclusive education is a right not a struggle for disabled learners.
Welcome to Allfie's Campaigns Section
The Alliance for Inclusive Education is campaigning for all disabled learners to have a right to participate in mainstream education. Despite over 30 years of progress in inclusive education, disabled people are still the only group of learners who do not have a right to a well-resourced school, college or university place. Also, disabled children under 16 years of age are the only group of children that can be forced to attend a special school against their own and parents' wishes.
Current Political Situation
Disabled learners' rights to mainstream education are under attack! This is because the Coalition Government has decided that in their view there is a 'bias towards inclusion' which must be reversed. The Coalition Government is also committed to the creation of an education 'marketplace' where education providers compete against each other for students, funding and resources under the guise of parental or student choice.

I just finished reading a fascinating book a couple months ago called To Mormons, With Love by Chrisy Ross. She blogs here and gives a quick overview of her book here. You can buy her book on Kindle here. Chrisy and her family are nondenominational Christians who live (voluntarily, not because of Witness Relocation or anything like that) in Utah County – and even enjoy it mostly! I'm not sure I know many Mormons for whom I could say the same, but I might live in the opposite of a Mormon bubble. [Read more…]

School district faces $850,000 shortfall
The Vashon Island School District is facing a $850,000 shortfall in its upcoming budget, a deficit that could climb as state lawmakers grapple with the latest revenue predictions in a state still gripped by the recession.
Last week's news that the state will lose another $780 million in tax collections over the next two years has added to Washington's already grim financial straits; budget writers in Olympia have to figure out a way to close what is now a $5 billion gap in the state's $37 billion two-year budget.
The implications for Vashon's schools, even before the latest news, were already considerable, said Michael Soltman, the school district's superintendent. Last week, he told the principals at the three public schools to sketch out scenarios where each school lost two teachers.
"It's plain depressing," he said. "It becomes a process of taking apart something you're proud to have built."
Now, with more bad news out of Olympia, he added, "It just means that what we're looking at in terms of cuts could get worse."
Bob Hennessey, a member of the school board, agreed.
"It gets harder and harder every year," he said. "Every year, we feel pain, and there will be pain again this year."
The school board will begin preliminary discussions on its 2011-12 budget at Thursday night's meeting, gearing up for a May 15 deadline — the date by which the district has to let teachers know if there will be any layoffs of certificated staff. The board also plans to hold two community forums about the budget — one at 7 p.m. April 19 and another at 9 a.m. April 20.
But Soltman said he hopes to once again offset the extent of the cuts by bringing more off-Island students to Vashon and turning to the community for financial support. Last year, after an increase in the number of commuter students and an aggressive fundraising campaign, the district had to trim its budget but was able to stave off most of the predicted layoffs.
"It all depends on the community continuing to value the programs we have and supporting them, because the state hasn't," Soltman said.
Last year, Soltman and several community leaders raised $450,000 for the district. This year, a newly formed schools foundation — helmed by Islander Erin Sheridan — will attempt to raise $550,000, Soltman said.
"If financially it can't be done, we'll have to make significant reductions," he said.
The school district is expecting a 5.6 percent decline — or $548,000 — in state and federal support for its upcoming budget, Soltman said. Couple those losses with built-in salary increases, escalating health care costs and higher utilities, and the district is braced for an $850,000 budget gap.
According to a chart Soltman handed out to the school board last week, he hopes to raise $150,000 to $200,000 through the enrollment of another 40 to 50 off-Island students, bringing the total number off-Island students at all three schools to about 200, or nearly 15 percent of the 1,500-student district. Depending on the outcome of the new foundation's fundraising efforts, Soltman said he expects the actual shortfall to come in somewhere between $150,000 and $400,000.
Soltman, in another chart for the board, also sketched out some potential areas for cuts, including furloughing administrative staff; reducing library or counseling services; reducing the district's support of co-curricular programs, such as drama, debate and after-school sports; and decreasing custodial and groundskeeping support.
Laura Wishik, who chairs the school board, said the cuts this year will be difficult. "Frankly, there aren't a lot of choices. It's not like we have extra teachers," she said.
The district is already feeling the impact of a few years' worth of budget cuts. Last year, for instance, the school district's financial contribution to co-curricular activities was cut by about $40,000, forcing clubs, sports teams and other after-school activities to turn to booster clubs, parents and students for greater financial support.
Kevin Linnell, who coaches boys and girls basketball at McMurray Middle School, said a booster club called Hoopsters has helped; the group purchased uniforms and basketballs for one of the teams, he said.
Linnell also went through the necessary training so that he could drive the school bus that transports the team to away games, saving the district a few thousand dollars in the course of the season. Other coaches act as bus drivers, too, he said.
"I did it to save my program," Linnell said. "I don't want it to go away, because we're doing some amazing things with these kids."
But it's hard, he added. "At the end of the day, I'm totally wiped."
Meanwhile, at Vashon High School, the student newspaper The Riptide is facing a potential shortfall because of a decision last year that advisors — in this case, journalism teacher Greg McElroy — need to be paid out of the club's ASB account, rather than the district's general fund. The journalism program has already had to do away with a scholarship it provides each year to a promising journalism student, and now Riptide staff are pushing harder on ad sales and fundraisers to ensure the year's remaining issues can be printed, McElroy said.
"We'll be soliciting donations, sponsors, advertising. ... We're in the same place the whole district is in," he said.
But school district officials are hopeful that the community will once again step up and support its schools, much as other communities routinely do. Mercer Island, for instance, annually raises $1 million for its schools, Soltman said; on Bainbridge, an annual fundraiser brings in $750,000.
Hennessey worries that some Islanders will balk. "People are contribution-weary," he said. But with the state's anti-tax climate, he and others say it's likely the wave of the future.
"I would like to get to a place where every family who has a kid in school makes it part of their regular giving," Hennessey said.
Soltman said he's optimistic that the new foundation's goal of $550,000 will be met. "This community has such a strong commitment to its schools that I think it can be done," he said.
The board will hold two forums to discuss the district's budget — one at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 19, at McMurray, and the other at 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 20, at Chautauqua. It will also address the issue at its meeting at 7 p.m. this Thursday at McMurray.

What happened to civility and open debate on Mercer Island? From what I can see, there are a handful of extremely vocal opponents to the school bond measure who are doing almost everything they can to get residents to vote no. There seems to be absolutely no regard for facts and a campaign of discrediting anyone who supports the bond.
When the Stevenson Farm property was raised, naysayers of the bond distributed an inflammatory, doctored diagram being passed off as the plan for how Island Park would be sited to all the property's neighbors. When the Mercer Island Schools Foundation endorsed and then financially supported the bond measure, there were false accusations that the Foundation was behaving illegally because of their nonprofit status. When Kris Kelsay tried to get her personal opinions heard based on the almost two years of work she's done studying the school facilities issue, there were attacks on her work as facilitator of the 21st Century Facilities Planning Committee. The list goes on…
Debating the issues and the proposed construction plan is one thing. Public discussion is important, which is why the district held over 20 public meetings around the school facilities issue in the past two years. Public input is critical, which is why the School Board commissioned the 21st Century Facilities Planning Committee and its 20 community volunteers representing a cross-section of the Island's population and constituents, to spend a year researching the situation, exploring alternatives and making a recommendation. Being responsive to public desires is also something the school district's administration is sensitive to, which is why they recommended to the School Board — who in turn agreed — to rebuild Island Park Elementary on its current site based on the neighborhood's feedback.
Efforts to discredit people and organizations that do not share your opinion, however, are not appropriate. This appears to be one of the key strategies of the people behind this "no reinvestment of school infrastructure" campaigns. Let's not let a few vocal naysayers who are spreading disinformation and trying to discredit endorsers of the school bond distract us from really studying the aspects of this fiscally responsible, solid and well-constructed plan to keep Mercer Island schools great for the next 50 years.

That level of purism is silly. She is creating unreasonable and unsustainable restrictions. I think she just doesn't want to do it.
I've been primal (paleo, really) for a long time and love it. I have a friend who's interested in getting on-board... however her problem is that she can't imagine eating "nothing but meat and vegetables" all the time.
I explained that's not all you eat on primal. You can have starches, fruits, nuts, seeds, etc and some people do dairy. Her reply was "But if I'm going to do this, I want to do it ALL the way" -- the implication being that anything outside meat/veg was somehow "less perfect", since Grok subsisted mainly on meat/veg and anything else would be a rare treat.
This leads to my question... do any of you ONLY eat meat and veggies? How many of you have starch/fruit/nuts daily, and do you need to exercise more when you eat these things?
I sometimes eat a handful of macadamias and a can of tuna for lunch and call it a day, but she's starting to make me think I'm not being very Grok-like by making this a frequent thing...
That level of purism is silly. She is creating unreasonable and unsustainable restrictions. I think she just doesn't want to do it.
I'd be insanely bored on meat and veggies. I get bored even with all of the PHD/WAPF/Peat choices at my disposal! You'd have to really not care too much about variety to be happy with just meat and veg.

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
Only people with serious dietary restrictions go that hardcore.
It's really the ultimate formula. There are actually infinite combinations especially when you integrate herbs and different cooking techniques with the meat. It gets you everything you need, and nothing you don't, plus makes shopping quick and easy, and teaching the diet to others easy.
Salmon and carrots, chicken and broccoli, duck and leeks, chorizo and onion, pork and red bell peppers, ground beef and onions, steak and asparagus...always finding new combinations.
So yeah, I don't think it gets old.
But I go thru phases though where I include heavy cream, or sweet potatoes, or lots of nuts, but it does seem to get tricky...too many non meat/vegi items seems to require workout. My first two months on paleo was strict meat/vegi, it's a good starting place, then add back a few things if you want to experiment.
my husband does the cooking, and he's not fancy, but we eat the wider list -- meat, veg, eggs, butter, nuts, seeds, and fruit. that's mostly what we eat.
Grok ate shellfish, seafood, wild game, fruit, roots, tubers and little bits of vegetation. Thats real. Eating domesticated animals and vegetables is not paleo.

EAST AMWELL TWP. — Bags, boxes and bundles of books left the Grange building at the county 4-H fairgrounds here Saturday during the annual Friends of the Hunterdon County Library book sale.
And the bargains are even better Sunday as all items are half-price so most books will be just $1 each. There are still many thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, phonograph records and such to buy.
Sunday is the second and last day of the sale. Hours are 10 a.m.-3 p.m. There's no charge to get in, and free parking on the grounds. Boy Scouts are selling refreshments.
The fairgrounds, officially called the South County Park, is just south of Ringoes near the intersection of routes 202 and 179. Using a GPS, put in the address as 1207
Route 179, Lambertville, NJ 08530.
This is the first year the sale is at this location. It was originally held in a tent outside the main library on Route 12 in Raritan Townshp but after a memorably muddy sale one year, it was held indoors at the nearby National Guard Armory for many years. And many patrons had to use a shuttle bus between parking at the library lot and buying at the Armory.

Open your brew with your sunnies
If it's a nice day out, what do you normally grab before you leave the house? If you're anything like us it's probably: keys, wallet/purse/handbag, mobile phone, change for an ice cream and of course, sunglasses. Indeed, the sun shines so rarely on our tiny island, it's a wonder our eyes don't explode with delight when it finally comes out. So it's no wonder we pasty Brits are partial to a pair of sunnies. Well, we've found a pair that leaves all of them in the shade. Not literally – they'd be massive. But
Brewsees Eyewear
are the very definition of handy headgear.
Why? Because the arms of these polycarbonate sunglasses can be used as
bottle openers
! Perfect when you're miles away from your kitchen drawer, the arms are reinforced with
aircraft grade aluminium
to make them strong but incredibly light. Lever open your bottles of pop or chilled brewskis and pop them back on your noggin again. After such a dazzling display your friends and family will be squinting in delight.
Deal with it!
Speaking of which, the lenses of Brewsees Eyewear are polarised, offering
100% protection from the sun's harmful UV rays
. So they're just as handy when the sun's bouncing off the snow as they are when it's bouncing off the warm waters of the Mediterranean.
And to show they've thought of everything, the makers of these excellent specs even throw in a
carry case that doubles as a bottle holder
. So even your beer can enjoy a little shade.

I say both, got knocked onto the floor and could smell the ozone. I also watched what appeared to be a "cloud" of maybe zinc dust settling to the ground from the tower. This tower was the tallest of the two (the shorter one did not get hit). It was 105' and the location was the highest hill south of the Twin Cities. As a parenthetical note, I also had my gin pole draw arcs during a snow storm. Fortunately, I was lower than the top of the gin pole. I heard several "zaps" and couldn't figure out what it was. Finally looked upward into the snow and could see the arcs. They were several feet long. Wasn't sure what to do. I did climb down, but not before putting on my outer mits ("choppers") and making sure only my boots and mitts came in contact with the tower. Wasn't sure how much protection the snow suit would offer. Maybe this is why I have so little hair. California: Yes. I think this was a very rare occurance. Came home during a rain storm, looked up at the tower (as usual) and noticed an arc hit the top of the mast. I continued to watch and counted 15 of these small "strikes" within about 5 minutes. Each "strike" was about 20' long (coming from above to the mast). They were audible, but no thunder! > > > 2 - If YES, was your damage > > MAJOR, MINOR, NONE ? Minnesota: nothing at all.

The base of the tower had about 5,000 feet of buried radials, approximately equally spaced around the base. They were tied together at the copper ground rod "buss."

We are proud to be a UK manufacturer located in South Staffordshire adjacent to the West Midlands and the new M6 Toll Motorway. Our location is central to the British Motorway system.
The final finish and appeal of many home improvements lay in the outward simplicity that masks hidden complexity. Glass is a material that more people are including in projects, from domestic staircases and balconies to commercial projects. Finding the correct balustrade components is essential from both a fixing and structural point of view, as well as style and design.
To hold the glass in place, you need strong clips and fittings that do not overpower the delicate look and feel of glass. As a result, frameless glass balustrade systems are popular. Offering safety and strength, these stainless steel balustrade fittings offer everything you need. But stainless steel balustrade fittings offer their own stylish addition to a project too.
Strong and durable, stainless steel is the natural partner to glass. Elegant and timeless, stainless steel is welcomed in many modern and traditional interior design schemes. Polished stainless steel balustrade fittings offer the clean look that many people look for, and there
Everyone has differing tastes and so each glass installation – whether a staircase of Juliet balcony – will be different. In order to hold the glass panels in place, there was need for a bulky frame but technology has advanced and now you can opt for the minimalist perfection of frameless glass balustrade systems.
The smallest of fixings can make the biggest impact. The roundness of some fixing components and angular nature of others make for so many choices, you will find something that is simply perfection. Glass is strong and robust, and yet within this strength is a fragility. Too much pressure and load on even tempered glass can render it weak, causing cracks or splinters. With components and systems designed specifically with glass in mind, our range of balustrade fixings and fittings will mean that this is not an issue.
We stock all manner of stainless steel balustrade supplies, including balustrade patch fittings to stainless clips and more. Ordering is simple – pick up the phone or order online. Turnaround time is a matter of days too, so your project can stay on track. Call us for details on discounts for bulk orders.

George Webster's smile was as wide and bright and infectious and genuine as he was.
Bill Iddings
The greatest player football player in the history of Michigan State University had a smile that shone not only in his mouth but also in his eyes, the true measure of any smile.
It could light up the firmament, contrasting with how a Webster hit could turn out the lights on a Spartan opponent.
Those hits are how MSU fans who knew of Webster, but did not know him personally, remember the man who died April 19 of heart failure. George Webster was 61 years old.
So many people recall the glory days of the 1960s, the national championship years when Webster set the standard for a roverback, a hybrid defensive position that crossed a linebacker with a defensive back.
Webster was The Natural, graced speed and quickness.
What set him apart was when he honed in on his target.
And unloaded.
Opposing players did not rise from the turf quickly.
Some stayed put.
More than an athlete, Webster was a warrior.
Duffy Daugherty was MSU's head coach when Webster, Charles "Bubba" Smith and Charlie "Mad Dog" Thornhill were the core of the most feared defensive team in America.
"Football is not a contact sport," Daugherty once said. "Dancing is a contact sport. Football is a collision sport."
Webster took that to another level.
"He doesn't tackle people," Daugherty said. "He explodes them."
Hank Bullough, Webster's mentor and, in both college and professional football, defensive coordinator, likened a Webster hit to a cobra striking.
Such was Webster the Superman.
Webster the man was more than his No. 90 that MSU retired.
Away from the gridiron, he was warm and genial, possessing a quiet courage as he personified the definition of a gentleman.
Hard times cannot tarnish a class act.
After distinguishing himself in the pros, Webster was battered by throat cancer that graveled his speech, and prostate cancer. Circulatory problems took both of Webster's legs. Medical bills exhausted his money.
In 2002, Webster, born and bred in South Carolina but having found a home away from home on the banks of the Red Cedar River, came back to East Lansing.
Bullough organized a benefit at the Kellogg Center on MSU's campus. The event raised money for Webster's medical expenses.
It reunited Webster with other luminaries from MSU's storied athletic history. Former teammates came from far and wide. Showing, too, was Peter Gent, the former Spartan basketball star who, as a professional, played football with the Dallas Cowboys, which led him to write the bestseller "North Dallas Forty."
At the time, Bullough told The Muskegon Chronicle about how, when he recruited Webster out of high school, he promised him that he would be his East Lansing father.
"Well, he needs his father now," Bullough said. "He needs his brothers. He needs his sisters."
They came.
One by one, they embraced Webster in affection.
Physically, Webster was thinned by troubles. He moved with a halting gait. But when Webster's eyes met theirs, his shined with the smile of youth that had lost no luster.
"You're always a part of the big family," Webster told The Chronicle a few days before. "The Michigan State family never dies."
Members of the Michigan State family, as does everyone, do.
The greatest of warriors fall.
George Webster battled his whole life long.
His time has come to sleep.
Good night, sweet prince, and may flights of angels sing the "MSU Fight Song" to thy rest.

First, I want to respond to those readers who asked about a story in last week's column regarding a woman and a soldier - yes, the woman's name, Betty Jones, was fictitious.
Also, Esther Arlan called to say that my mention of her husband, Lionel, sneaking into the Pontiac Theater picture show 65 years ago may keep him from getting some high post (I think, similar to the Nobel Peace Prize) in Rotary. But she was laughing so hard I could barely understand what she was saying.
Now, here are some other interesting stories from the Enterprise of 1944:

The Misses Shirley Lawrence and Treva Bruce were hostesses Friday evening at the home of Miss Lawrence at 210 Lake Street.
Games and dancing were enjoyed during the evening. A box lunch and punch were served as refreshments.
Those present were the Misses Geneva Perras, Joyce Darrah, Marie Kentile, Barbara Carson, Gloria Parrotte, Mildred Gladd and Betty Skeels.
Also attending were Leonard Ely, Bernard Goodrich, James Sheil, James Ely, Robert Carter, Conrad Baker, Thomas Buck, Jack Walsh, George Manco, Paul Proctor, Thomas LaVallee, John Gardwood and Don Garwood.
Also James Lamy, Ray Bourdeau, Joseph Hayes, Harry LaBrake, William Golden, Edward Kern, Richard Godson and James Buckley.
(Wow! Seven girls and 21 guys attending the party. I happen to know that Beth Garwood's dad, Don, will be sending this column to Treva Bruce, as he does on a regular basis.)
Police chief resigns
The resignation of James Coughlin, chief of the police department in Saranac Lake, was received yesterday by Charles Goldsmith, village manager.
Chief Coughlin will leave the force to enter business in Bloomingdale where he has purchased the Brookside Hotel and Farm. He was appointed to the force on June 3, 1928 and served as a policeman until February 1933, when he was made acting chief of police. He held that position until May of that same year when John Tierney, a former member of Troop B, New York State Police, was made Chief. When Tierney resigned a year later, Coughlin was appointed Chief by the village manager Miller Johnson and has served in that position since.
St. Louis Browns win pennant
America's third wartime baseball season ended yesterday with the St. Louis Browns winning their first pennant in the tightest race in American League history, a race not decided until the last out on the last day.
A 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees coupled with a Detroit defeat of Washington, 4-1, gave the flag to the Browns by one game. They will meet the National League champs, the St. Louis Cardinals, in the World Series.
Sullivan in cadet training
Pvt. Philip F. (Hoot) Sullivan of Saranac Lake is undergoing extensive examinations at Keesler Field, Biloxi, Miss., to determine his qualifications as a pre-aviation cadet.
Flying officer training as a pilot, bombardier or navigator will be given Pvt. Sullivan upon completion of his processing. He will be assigned in the near future to a new station to begin his actual air crew training.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Sullivan of 44 Neil Street.
Dukett wins pilot's license
Arthur H. Dukett, formerly of Saranac Lake, has completed a course in civil aeronautics at the Syracuse Flying School and has received his pilot's license. Mr. Dukett began flying two years ago in Connecticut and was grounded when the government ordered discontinuance of private flying. He is now taking a course in navigation and meteorology. He expects to receive an instructor's rating on conclusion of his studies.
He is the son of Mrs. Ted DeMar of 100 Lake Flower Ave.
Doug Martin in Gabriels was looking for potato pickers and was paying "six and seven cents a basket." A basket, I guess, meant a 60- pound bushel basket.

MAYFIELD, Ohio - With summer winding down that means many outdoor activities that are reliant on warm weather will come to an end.
Yes, the pool days, family gatherings, concerts, sports leagues and most other activities we enjoy in our communities thanks to the support of several area parks and recreation departments, will be go on hiatus for the fall and winter months.
It's time to make way for other activities in the community more reserved for the cooler months.
Lyndhurst Home Days is still to come (much more information on that next week), clam bakes begin and holiday parties aren't too far off as well.
However, what defines this time of the year may be one of the best traditions across the country – high school football.
Face it, whether you have school-age children or not, you can't escape high school football.
With private and public high schools throughout gathering around the gridiron every Friday night for the next ten weeks, the hometown excitement is here and offers us a chance to engage in our communities.
This is a great opportunity to watch our kids, grandkids and the neighbor's kids compete in what they love doing and it gives us a chance to enjoy the end of the work week by gathering with neighbors, friends and family to watch.
High school football isn't just a great time for the boys on the teams either. Don't forget about the marching bands, cheerleaders and dance squads that also join in to make an evening at a high school football game a well-rounded entertainment experience.
This isn't to forget the small colleges in our area as well, such as John Carroll University in University Heights and Notre Dame College in South Euclid, that offer live football-watching experiences here in our own backyards. These young men may not be from the big cities and big colleges playing big-time college football on national TV, but their passion for the game gives smaller communities a chance to experience college football in person each Saturday during the fall months.
So as fall nears, I encourage you to take the opportunity to enjoy a game or two with a friend or family member. I know I plan to.
Final Campfire: The North Chagrin Nature Center will host the End of Summer Campfire from 7:30-9 p.m. Aug. 31 at the North Chagrin Reservation.

lol wait until u get to multiplayer mode..
Wow what a fantastic game, and the way Wii controls were implemented are marevelous. To do the bazooka, you have to move your controls to your shoulder. And the stationary machine gun wow, with both hands at the same time!!. Throwing the grenade is so realistic, using the sniper rifle is so cool. You need to learn to dodge bullets and cover yourself. The only thing is that there is no health bar available. If you get hit many consecutive times without doing something you die.
Super game.. and I am just playing the Campaign mode.
Great game play. One of the best FPS for the Wii

Add us and other people who play 2vs2 as well from this thread:
yes it is a great game. and its rare to see EA putting effort into wii, but now that they do no one is buying this game. how sad. this puts fps games on wii at risk. if this game doesnt sell atleast 200,000, you can say good bye to good fps games on wii.30,000 i north america is sad. this game deserves better.
sorry i was rambling. yes the game is great the controls are the best for fps on the wii.
wow im definitly getting this for christmas
nd how can this not be doing good only 30k in north america....wow American Wii owners need to open up their eyes
ps. im american too im not a hater
The sales would probably rocket this week cause thats when im getting mine.
I believe the sales would go up substantially if they could just learn to release the games worldwide instead of waiting for 6 months...
Light often travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright beore you hear them speak.
I found the campaign mode to be lacking.
Controls were good though, and the online is where the game really shines.

UHPLC columns can significantly improve chromatographic separations, but they also present unique challenges. Once the UHPLC system components are optimized, perhaps the greatest concern is protecting the column from the damaging effects of microparticulates and sample contaminants.
An ultra-high performance column protection system, specifically designed for UHPLC systems using sub-2 µm and core-shell particle columns, can be used to extend column lifetime (saving both money and time through less frequent column replacement), while minimizing system troubleshooting and downtime.Results and Discussion
It is well known that UHPLC systems and columns require higher levels of care and attention than traditional HPLC in order to reap their full ultra-high chromatographic performance benefits. Once system components are optimized, chromatographic cleanliness is vital to maintain UHPLC performance, and column protection is compulsory. Unprotected columns may suffer from reduced performance and lifetime, and may lead to an increased need for system troubleshooting and/or downtime.
UHPLC columns packed with sub-2 µm particles tend to clog much more rapidly than traditional HPLC columns packed with larger 3 µm and 5 µm particles. This may be due to the fact that, not only is the interstitial space between the particles much smaller, but columns packed with sub-2 µm particles also use frits with a much smaller porosity compared to conventional HPLC columns. With a "tighter", more restricted flow path, any undissolved matter or particulates from the sample, the mobile phase or the system (such as micro-particulates shedding from piston seals and injection valve rotors), will quickly and irreversibly foul the UHPLC column.
However, column lifetime is greatly extended by using the SecurityGuard ULTRA (red boxes). In this case, sequential injections of the matrix will still lead to an increase in pressure, but this is due to the particulates being captured in the SecurityGuard ULTRA itself, rather than in the UHPLC/HPLC column. Thus, by simply replacing the SecurityGuard ULTRA cartridge at regular intervals, back pressure returns to starting levels and effective column lifetime can be greatly extended.

PHILADELPHIA – Goalie Steve Mason ruled himself out for Game 3 of the Flyers' first round playoff series after practicing Monday in Voorhees, then changed his mind following Tuesday's morning skate at Wells Fargo Center.
Fully 100 percent healthy again, Mason will back up Ray Emery for Tuesday night's game against the Rangers and possibly be back starting for Friday night's Game 4.
The Flyers and Rangers split the first two games of this best-of-seven series in Madison Square Garden.
Why not play Mason in Game 3?
"Why?" Flyers coach Craig Berube responded. "Ray won Game 2. Ray's played well. … (Mason) was injured, he's better and he's gonna backup. That's it."
Not surprisingly, Berube wouldn't commit to playing either goalie in Game 4.
"I'm worried about tonight," he said.
Mason hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury in the Flyers' next-to-last regular-season game two Saturdays ago.
It's possible that Mason suffered a concussion when injured during a collision in Pittsburgh in which Penguins winger Jayson Megna rammed Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald into the goalie.
Berube said that Mason had to received medical clearance to serve as the backup for Game 3. Asked if Mason had to take a baseline concussion test, the coach said, "No. I don't know anything about that."
Mason has been saying he felt better and better after recent practices, and in Tuesday's morning skate he appeared sharp in net, as well.
"He's healthy, so we made a decision after practice," Berube said. "We talked and he's gonna backup. He practiced (Monday) and he got some good practice time in New York, too."

Zucchini Bread
We're turning the corner into late summer (where did it go?!) and right about now is when gardens seem to be overflowing with an abundance of zucchini just begging to be used up. Perhaps you have your own garden, you were given fresh zucchini by a generous neighbor, or just couldn't resist the mounds of beautiful squash at the grocery store or farmer's market. However you managed to snag them, you have a stash of zucchini to use and you need a recipe. Zucchini bread is a classic and, amazingly, one that I have not made before. I never used to be a big fan of squash, but I started turning the corner with zucchini in the last couple of years and so I added zucchini bread to my ever-growing list of foods I want to tackle. The gorgeous green squash have been tempting me every time I go to the store, so I finally decided to whip up a zucchini bread.
I love quick breads because there are so, well, quick. You typically do not need to bust out your stand mixer (or even a hand mixer) and can have your bread in the oven in the time it takes to watch your favorite re-run. Although this recipe requires you to drain the zucchini for 30 minutes, don't be put off – it's actually the perfect amount of time to prepare the rest of the recipe so once the zucchini is done draining, you quickly stir everything together in a bowl, scrape it into a loaf pan, and into the oven it goes!
This recipe strikes has the perfect balance of zucchini and bread; the loaf isn't so loaded with zucchini that it looks like a green squash in loaf form and the zucchini isn't hidden so much that you would never know what the predominant ingredient is. You can taste zucchini in every bite, but it isn't overpowering, and the walnuts add a great contrasting flavor and texture.
What's your favorite zucchini recipe? My grandma used to make awesome zucchini fritters!

Bananas Foster Banana Bread
Three Cheese Beer Bread
One year ago: Pain Ordinaire Careme (French Baguettes)
Zucchini Bread
Yield: Makes 1 loaf
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 55 to 60 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
2 cups (10 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pan
1 pound zucchini, washed and dried, ends and stems removed, cut in half lengthwise and seeded, each half cut into 1-inch pieces
¾ cup (5¼ ounces) granulated sugar
½ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped coarse
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup plain yogurt
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 tablespoon juice from 1 lemon
6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan; dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
2. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the zucchini and 2 tablespoons of the sugar until the zucchini is coarsely shredded, twelve to fifteen 1-second pulses. Transfer the mixture to a fine-mesh strainer set at least 2 inches over a bowl and allow to drain for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can shred the zucchini (don't cut into 1-inch pieces) on the large holes of a box grater, toss with the 2 tablespoons of sugar, and drain.
3. Meanwhile, spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a cooling rack and cool completely. Transfer the nuts to a large bowl; add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and whisk until combined. Set aside.
4. Whisk together the remaining ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, yogurt, eggs, lemon juice, and melted butter until combined. Set aside.
5. After the zucchini has drained, squeeze the zucchini with several layers of paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Stir the zucchini and the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture until just moistened. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a rubber spatula.
6. Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted int he center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least 1 hour before serving. (The bread can be wrapped with plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.)

I love zucchini fritters! In fact I made some a while back. I also posted a recipe for my favorite zucchini cake! YUM!
Thanks for this recipe! I was looking for one to use up all that harvested zuchinni, lol! By the way, I used your original pita recipe and made a whole wheat version. Hope you don't mind that I mentioned you in my post 🙂
I love this recipe! My neighbors shared this with me from a different source, The New Best Recipe. I checked and it is exactly the same recipe. I made it per instructions and it is the very best Zucchini Bread I've ever had – not sweet or oily. It is buttery and lightly sweetened, moist but not greasy. The only change I needed to make was in the baking time. In my commercial oven it took 40-45 minutes.

Quick question, about many zucchini do you usually get in a pound of zucchini? I'm bound and determined to figure out a way to like zucchini this year, and I would love to try this zucchini bread recipe. However, I'm usually get my vegetable from a CSA, so I'm not sure how many to pick up.

Zucchini Bread perfection!
I made this bread last night, and was concerned when the batter didn't come together like other quick breads I have made. This seemed much dryer. I read over the list of ingredients and found I had made it true to the recipe. Once the dry ingredients were moistened I had hope, put it in my emile loaf pan and baked as directed. It came out beautifully. The texture was not dense and heavy nor was it dry and light. But my favorite thing about this recipe was it was not overly sweet; it had just a hint of sweetness.
Your Grandmother was a smart lady. This recipe is a 2009 Americas Test Kitchen (PBS) recipe. The yogurt is used to add moisture. In lieu of the yogurt, cut your oil in half and simply use apple sauce. If you don't have walnuts on hand, toast some coconut or toast some oatmeal. Adds great flavor.
