Tyagi's LED24 is more attractive than other televisions we've seen from the company, and its 1080p, 24in screen offers good detail levels. Colour levels are acceptable during most viewing, but the screen has a low contrast ratio.
The Tyagi LED24 is a thin, 24in LED television with a 1080p panel and a 5000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Its support for 12V input might make it a good addition to a caravan. Picture quality is acceptable for broadcast television and DVD watching, but Blu-ray movies are missing some of the 'pop' you'll see with a more expensive screen.
The Tyagi LED24 share some design cues with Samsung's original LED televisions, with a thin glass base (which, annoyingly, doesn't swivel) and a deep glossy black finish. It's more attractive than previous Tyagi televisions we've looked at, such as the Tyagi Max19 and the Tyagi 4728. The inclusion of LED backlighting has allowed Tyagi to save some space and reduce the thickness of the television — it was around half the thickness of the Kogan 1080P24 we compared it to. However, the Kogan is almost $200 cheaper.
The buttons of the Tyagi LED24 are arranged on the rear of the panel, accessible around the right side of the television. Button descriptions are stencilled onto the side fascia of the Tyagi LED24, so a quick glance will tell you which button you'll be hitting. The bundled remote control of the Tyagi LED24 is well laid out with buttons that are clearly labelled and easily distinguishable from one another.
The rear of the Tyagi LED24 hides a small range of video inputs. Arranged from left to right on the downward-facing segment of the rear panel are the 12V power jack, USB port, HDMI, VGA, 3.5mm audio input, composite A/V, headphone output and coaxial digital audio output jacks. The left side of the Tyagi LED24's rear panel houses the antenna input, component A/V and second composite A/V inputs. We would have switched the locations of some of these connectors — the more permanent antenna input would be fine on the lower panel, freeing up space for the USB port to accept flash drives and external hard drives.
The Tyagi LED24 uses a 220V-12V external power brick. The brick is quite bulky, so you will need to find somewhere to tuck it away. The up-side of this is that you'll be able to use the Tyagi LED24 directly off a car's cigarette lighter power point or a caravan's 12V power supply, although an appropriate cable will need to be purchased separately.
The Tyagi LED24's 24in LCD screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 1080p native resolution. A brightness rating of 250cd/m2 is slightly lower than its competitors, which might make it difficult to watch in harsh lighting conditions. We found the screen bright enough in dim and dark lighting conditions, but setting brightness levels to maximum did start to wash out detail in darker areas of the screen.
The screen's 5000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, achieved by dimming the Tyagi LED24's backlight in dark video scenes to deliver deeper black levels, is reasonable but unspectacular. The process of dimming the entire screen does extend detail in dark areas of the screen, but this means that bright areas are compromised. We found the backlight dimming speed to be reasonably fast; in most instances we couldn't notice a transition taking place. However, even when watching relatively subdued DVD content, we did notice evidence of minor black crush and loss of white detail. This won't be of concern to casual viewers but the fact remains that a more expensive screen will be able to deliver video with more detail in both dark and bright areas.
The 1080p resolution of the screen means that source material, like Blu-ray video, which has a 1080p native resolution, looks sharp. Plenty of detail is visible in video and we found that sharpness levels were reasonably good when using the default settings. Playing standard-definition digital television and 480p DVDs isn't as exciting, but the Tyagi LED24 upscales them without any noticeable artefacting or significant blurriness.
The Tyagi LED24 LCD television is an interesting product. Its LED backlighting technology means it is comparatively expensive for a small screen from a budget brand, and its image quality is only a small amount better than an LCD model. The main selling point of the Tyagi LED24 is its thin and attractive design.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Senior, 6-2, 150, forward
JUST THE FACTS: Newton is off to a 13-0-1 start and Cronin's offense has been a big reason. The senior has 18 goals and eight assists on the year and had at least one point in each of the first 13 games this season. From Sept. 23 – Oct. 12, Cronin had at leastone goal in eight-straight games, accumulating 13 goals and six assists during that span.
COACH'S COMMENT: "His ability to finish when he has opportunities is just unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it. Every opportunity that he gets, even chances you don't think are real opportunities, he buries. It's amazing." – Newton head coach Brian Martin.
ON HIS RECENT HOT STREAK: "This stretch has been pretty good for me. Last year, I was a little inconsistent, especially early in the year. I've been more consistent this year and I think I'm heating up at the right time."
KEY TO SUCCESS: "Me and my fellow forward Leo Recalde been working off each other pretty well, so I'd say it's probably just the teamwork (between us) and the midfield too. We just work off each other, set each other up and build an attack. I wouldn't say there's anything specific to me."
COLLEGE PLANS: Cronin has received interest from Drew University, Arcadia University and Susquehanna University.
NICKNAMES: "'Mantis' is one. My coach from last year (Pat Brennan) came up with that one. It's because I'm kind of lean and the way I go after the ball. We all thought it was pretty funny."
GOALS FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON: Winning the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament for the first time and repeating as NJSIAA Group 2 champs.
WHEN I STARTED PLAYING SOCCER: Age 6
WEARING THE NUMBER 10: "There's just so many great players who wear it and no one else on my team had it so last year was the first year I took it."
FAVORITE SOCCER MEMORY: Winning the NJSIAA Group 2 championship last year.
FAVORITE OPPONENT: "Kittatinny because we're cross-town rivals and like five minutes apart." Cronin scored the golden goal against Kittatinny this season.
FAVORITE TV SHOWS: "Family Guy" and watching sports.
FAVORITE MOVIE: "21 Jump Street"
FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM: Green Bay Packers

If anyone is going to break Phil Veldheer's record, the veteran Holland drag racer is determined to be the one to do it.
Veldheer set the International Hot Rod Association's national record last year in the F/CM class when he powered his 1969 Camaro down the Knoll Gas Motorsports Park quarter-mile dragstrip in 10.80 seconds at 120 miles per hour. Veldheer made it clear that his goal this year is to smash that record, and he is confident he can do it.
Veldheer went to work over the winter making his program even stronger, and he is anxious to see the results later this summer at the Martin dragway.
"We have had the engine down in Dayton, Ohio, on the dyno, and we have a lot more horsepower this year," said Veldheer, 59. "We have a different set of headers and different camshafts, and we have about 30 more horsepower. We have gone out several times, and every time, the run has been quicker.
"I'm thinking we can go 122 or 123 in the 10.50s. But a lot of it really depends on the weather. Last year, we broke it in the spring. The races will be in August this year."
Veldheer will take a crack at his record when Knoll Gas Motorsports Park hosts the divisional points races Aug. 8-10. National records can only be set at the points meet. He broke the mark set in 2005 by Chip Johnson of South Carolina, who went 117 mph in 11.19 seconds.
In order to break an IHRA record, a driver first has to surpass that mark, then back it up with a second run. That's what he accomplished a year ago.
Veldheer, in his 41st season of competition, is one of the area's most passionate drag racers. He will have plenty to do between now and his attempt at the record because he once again features a five-car team that competes at dragstrips throughout the Midwest. He has Don Holben, Tom Tilton and Jeff Jalving all racing for him, and his stable of cars include two 1987 Oldsmobiles and a 1997 Firebird.
Maintenance keeps him busy year round.
"It makes the winter more passable," Veldheer said. "I like living here and I have all my family and friends here. So I have a heated garage and work on them all winter. It gives me something to do."

The Baltimore Ravens made Cody the 25th player taken in the second round and the 57th player taken overall.
Earlier in the second round, the Ravens selected Texas defensive end Sergio Kindle. He was the 11th pick of the round and the 43rd player selected overall.
On Thursday, two Alabama underclassmen - middle linebacker Rolando McClain and cornerback Kareem Jackson - were drafted in the first round. The Oakland Raiders took McClain with the eighth pick; the Houston Texans selected Jackson with the 20th pick.
Earlier tonight, the Kansas City Chiefs selected former Alabama cornerback/kick returner Javier Arenas with 18th pick in the second round. Arenas was the 50th player selected overall.
Cody's draft stock had fallen and risen in recent months.
The two-time All-American was known as "Mount Cody" because of his size. The 6-foot-5 star came to Alabama out of junior college weighing more than 400 pounds. He weighed 354 last season.
When he weighed 370 pounds in January at the Senior Bowl, Cody's draft stock started to slip, but it rose a month later when he weighed 352 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine. Two weeks later, he weighed 348 pounds at Alabama's Pro Day.
Cody anchored a run-stuffing defense that allowed an average of only 78.1 yards per game. He will be most remembered at Alabama for blocking two fourth-quarter field-goal attempts by Tennessee, the last of which came on the final play of the game, sealing a 12-10 victory.
Nine defensive linemen were draft Thursday in the first round. Four of them were defensive tackles. Cody was attractive specifically to teams that run the same 3-4 defense that Alabama runs.

RAVENNA, MI – Quick quiz.
Name the smallest school in the West Michigan Conference.
If you said North Muskegon, you're right.
But not when it comes to football.
That honors falls to Ravenna because NM has a co-op program with Western Michigan Christian.
NM's student enrollment of 289 is nearly doubled by the 288 students counted from WMC when it comes to football classification.
That makes Ravenna's 342 students, based on last year's enrollment numbers according to the Michigan High School Athletic Association, the smallest in the WMC. Hart is the next lowest at 355 and Montague is the other league school under 400 at 394. Whitehall is the biggest at 644. The others are Oakridge (501), Shelby (413) and Mason County Central (405).
It turns out Ravenna has one of the biggest varsity rosters in the WMC with 32 players out, which doesn't include the Bulldogs' JV team.
That's music to the ears of Ravenna coach David Smith, who is back for his fifth season as head coach and hoping to see the Bulldogs make a move into title contention.
"The things that stick out right away are the numbers we've got on the varsity level," Smith said. "We have a lot more size than we have in a long time. … The main thing is the overall attitude of the team is on the positive side. We've got a good group of kids that get along, which is huge."
Smith hopes to use that to Ravenna's advantage and spread the ball around more than in past seasons.
"Our offense should be really balanced," Smith said. "We have some guys that can catch it, we have a nice-sized line, especially for a Division 7 school. This is going to be the biggest line I've had and we've got a big fullback that can run it out of the backfield. It's going to go from a traditional 35 times by the tailback to everybody is going to get their touches."
Senior fullback Gabe Zimmer, who rushed for nearly 900 yards last season, and playmaker David Thompson, a sophomore wide receiver, look to lead the way.
The Bulldogs have gone 4-5 the past two seasons and Smith said the difference to a winning season will come on the mental side.
"I think we'll be able to compete with every team we play. We're getting to the point where we're getting experience and stronger and faster, now we have to be mentally tough," he said. "That's where we need to take a big step from last year to this year, it's the mental toughness."
Ravenna is looking to get off to a good start before the meat of the conference season with Oakridge, North Muskegon and Shelby in consecutive weeks. The regular season winds up with the return of Muskegon Catholic Central to the schedule.
Smith said if the Bulldogs make the playoffs, they will have been challenged from Week 1 to Week 9.
"We've always said our teams that have made runs in Division 7 or Division 6, we represented ourselves well in the conference," Smith said. "We know we're tested for a playoff run. We know we could hold our own with anybody in Division 7."

Are you traveling for Thanksgiving this year? If so, you won't be alone.
According to a news release from AAA, a projected 43.4 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, a decrease of 1.5 percent from the 44 million people who traveled last year.
According to the AAA news release:
This decrease falls just shy of last Thanksgiving's four-year peak since the recession-driven declines in 2008-2009 when Thanksgiving travel fell by 25 percent. The Thanksgiving holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, Nov. 27 to Sunday, Dec. 1.
Highlights from this year's 2013 AAA Thanksgiving Holiday Travel Forecast include:
Thanksgiving travelers to total 43.4 million, a decrease of 1.5 percent from the 44 million who traveled last year
Ninety percent of travelers or 38.9 million to travel by automobile, a decline of 1.6 percent
Median spending expected to drop nearly seven percent to $465, compared to $498 last year.
The Thanksgiving holiday is a less expensive holiday for travelers compared to other holidays. This year Labor Day spending was expected to be $804, Independence Day $749 and Memorial Day $659.
Holiday air travel to decline 3.7 percent to 3.14 million travelers from 3.26 million in 2012
Average distance traveled to increase to 601 miles from 588 miles.
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving will be the busiest single day of travel with 37 percent of travelers departing for trips Nov. 27.
"While the economy continues to improve, the sluggish pace of the recovery is creating uncertainty in the minds of some consumers and therefore AAA is projecting a slight decline in the number of Thanksgiving travelers this year," said AAA Chief Operating Officer Marshall L. Doney. "For those traveling the good news is motorists will receive a holiday bonus in the form of lower gas prices which are at their lowest levels for the holiday since 2010."
"The primary focus of Thanksgiving, more so than any other holiday, is to gather with friends, family and loved ones and celebrate with each other. Travelers attempting to carve out a travel budget will be happy to know that Thanksgiving will be the least expensive holiday of the year," continued Doney.

/ Disc to Give Wildlife a New Food Source
Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
What's the easiest, cheapest way to provide food and cover to hungarian
partridges, pheasants, turkeys, songbirds, and other wildlife? Disc.
Discing disturbs the soil to promote the growth of new, smaller plants that
young birds can move through safely and easily. The new plants then offer seeds
and draw insects that young birds need. CAUTION: If there are noxious weeds or
other undesirable species, then you won't want to disc in that area.
Creating a disc plot. While it's easy to disc an area and create the plot, it
will pay to consider where you can get the most good from it. Locate a place
next to some good permanent cover, such as a brushy fence row, woodlot, or near
brushy areas along a stream or pond.
You could disc in either spring or fall. However, fall discing is better in
that it will help set seeds from sunflowers, lambsquarters, and other plants
that offer quality seeds to birds.
Monitor, disc again. Watch the plot over the next few years. You will want to
disc again, likely in three years, when it looks like the plot isn't producing
much seed.
If you have several plots, you can rotate the discing schedule so you disturb
at least one of the plots each year, or part of a plot each year. The diversity
of plants offered with various stages of growth after discing will be better for
Strip disc grasslands. Light discing provides more insects and desirable
seeds at a lower cost than planting food plots. It is also an excellent way to
enhance grassland habitat for pheasants and songbirds.
If you have large non-native grassland fields with dense sod dominated by a
single species, you have a good candidate for strip discing. Do not disc native
Light contour discing of 25-foot to 75-foot wide strips, separated by strips
of undisturbed grass that are at least twice as wide, gives the best of both
worlds to wildlife. The disced areas produce forbs and legumes which produce
seeds and attract insects. The undisced area will provide nesting cover.
For more information about conservation practices that can improve wildlife
habitat on your land, stop at the
local NRCS office.
Did you know....
A habit pheasants and other birds seem to enjoy is called dusting. They scratch
a small bowl in the ground, leaving a few inches of finely ground soil to dry.
They periodically bury their breast in the bowl of the "dust bath" and shower
dust across their backs with their beaks and feet.

ENERMAX is stepping up to the need of energy and money-saving products with these two desktop PSU series with models in 500, 600, 700 and 800W. PRO87+ is the native cable series, while MODU87+ is modular. Both will complement ENERMAX' running 80+, 82+ & 85+ PSU series and incorporate the latest technologies with a major breakthrough:
DHT, Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology:
To improving the efficiency all manufacturers concentrated on the DC stage, up to now. But the technology used in the DC stage (during and after conversion of AC to DC) has come to the maximum and achieving 87+ efficiency is the very limit of this approach. To achieving 87+ or even higher efficiency with good performance needs additional innovations on the AC stage. ENERMAX has invented three innovations bundled into the new DHT-topology.
bviously, the inventions center around the adoption of dynamic frequencies, voltages and conversion instead of traditional static ones. These dynamic optimization designs not only push the efficiency up to shocking 92%, but also improve stability and performance to new heights without sacrificing any safety or regulations. Moreover, the incorporation of a 13.9cm Twister bearing fan with the patented SpeedGuard fan control bring PRO87+ and MODU87+ to unprecedented silence @ 50oC.
More details on the technology will be made available during the coming days and weeks.
PRO87+ & MODU87+ will be available from the end of December 2009 / beginning of January 2010 onwards (depending on markets and shipping time)

So you've reached a certain comfort level playing online at partypoker, but your future brother-in-law's bachelor party at The Borgata will be highlighted by a private table in the best poker room in A.C.
Here are 3 key things to keep in mind:
1) Listen to the dealer. They're there to help make the table run smoothly and hopefully they're good at their job! They will tell you when the blinds go up, when the antes come in, who's turn it is to act and lots more little things that will make your life easier. Be polite to them.
2) Keep your chips stacked so that they make sense to you. You want to be able to tell how much you have in your stack without having to count out every single chip, each time. Don't have a 'dirty stack'. This is when you mix up the different denominations of chips, all together. It makes it hard for you to know how much you have and it's also not fair to the rest of the table. And keep your largest chips out in front, no hiding them behind a stack of antes.
Have You Heard?
Our Sunday $50K Gtd is new and improved. The lemony freshness starts with a guaranteed 1st prize of $10,000 and the start time moved up 3 hours to 5pm ET!
3) Verbalize your actions before you make them. When first playing live, it is very easy to make mistakes with the chips. If you mean to raise but only throw one chip in and don't actually SAY raise, the it will be ruled a call. Also, saying what you mean to do will stop you from making mistakes with the chips. If you say "raise to 1000" and accidentally throw in 10,000 in chips, you're safe because it's what you SAY that counts.

You can always create a random math problems in words such as: 1 * 2 / 4 = 94 (when answer is either true, false, or the =, or some other thing). You can also make questions such as: "what is the 4th number from right to left" in random generating numbers... there are many ways to attack this... and I belive that if you make it simple, everyone can answer this. Another type is, what is the current tag that appear on the screen (where it can be some random tag with some unique id only for this).

About This Product
A classic form that still offers value, Stanley Furniture's Transitional Telephone Table can be used by the bed or as a handy chair-side repository. Beneath the top lies a single open shelf and two cedar drawers for storage that is easily accessible. Showcasing the best of contemporary style, straightforward lines and minimal adornment, the Telephone Table is the perfect marriage of good design and practical application.
About the Transitional Collection
Fulfilling the call for clean, contemporary-styled designs, Transitional bridges the sometimes masculine leanings of modern furniture design by softening its appeal with a host of feminine touches that make it a welcome addition to any decor. Clean lines and a deceptively simple appearance are just the beginning. Rich details abound, yet never detract from the streamlined appeal. Drawer fronts are gracefully bent, adding visual dimension, while the drawers of each piece are fully lined with cedar, an aromatic flourish. Richness and depth are conveyed in the finish—Polished Sable. A dark, cola-like finish with a mottled high sheen that is evocative of tortoise shell, Polished Sable is complex and visually arresting, lending yet another dimension to each design. The finishing touch? Sleek, flawless hardware with a champagne look that adorns without distraction.
Stanley Furniture was founded in 1924 by Thomas Bahnson Stanley, a dairy farmer who eventually became the governor of Virginia. The furniture manufacturer made such an impact in the industry that the town where it got started was later named Stanleytown.

With the pickup blocking both lanes of traffic, the highway remained closed until about 6 a.m.

Jule Lang is one busy woman. She juggles her time between interior design commissions and her latest personal project, the 21st-century "sustainable" retrofitting of her century-old Faubourg Marigny house. Then there's her involvement in the not-for-profit St. Roch Project, a multifaceted effort to revitalize that nearby neighborhood, as well as the countless volunteer hours she gives to a host of other community arts and preservation organizations.
In fact, she's so devoted to her downtown community that you would think she has lived in the area forever. Not so. She's an Uptowner whose empty-nest life passage has moved her far away from the streetcar line and St. Charles Avenue mansions.
"I used to live near Audubon Park, " Lang said. "But my sons got older and have their lives up in New York. And, while they visit me quite often, it became obvious that I didn't need a big house any more. So I decided to downsize, because no matter how big the house, once the wives and the babies come to visit, I still wouldn't have enough room for everyone."
The spring before Hurricane Katrina, Lang rented an apartment in Faubourg Marigny to see if she liked living there.
"I wanted to check out the neighborhood first, " she said. "Of course, I loved it. So when the landlord told me he was selling my apartment after the storm, I looked around to buy a house right here."
She found her new home in June 2006, made a few cosmetic changes and moved in two months later.
"This area is also a sliver by the river, so this is high ground, too, " she said of her quietly painted home, located three blocks from the Mississippi River and flood-free after Katrina.
Something old, something new
These days, Lang is surrounded on all sides by Caribbean-colored cottages, whose aesthetic styles are far different from the stately houses in her former neighborhood on the other side of Canal Street. It's a change she savors: Lang says she loves her long front porch and the intensely urban feel of Marigny.
"I mean, down here, your home is right on the sidewalk, " she said. "So, naturally, we do a lot of stoop sitting and wine sipping in the evenings. This is just a real 'neighborhoody' neighborhood -- not in a nosy way, just wonderfully friendly."
Lang is hoping to share more than casual conversation with her new neighbors. With the help of her architect-son, Drew Lang, she is experimenting with energy-saving building techniques. Both hope that up-to-the-minute technology can control energy use in old houses -- not only Lang's, but also other raised properties in New Orleans.
"This house is undergoing a sustainable retrofit, " Lang said. "What we are doing is closing up under the house and sealing the roof rafters in the attic. In essence, the house will be in the middle of an envelope. The heating and the air conditioning will circulate within that envelope.
"First, I called the termite people, who trenched between the piers, and then we closed in those areas around the house. Now we're insulating between the roof rafters with a radiant barrier that will reflect the sun's heat back. Then we'll put a wire mesh over the radiant barrier and add blown-in insulation."
Lang will watch her utility bills over the next months to see how they're affected.
"I'm really going to track them to see if this technique actually reduces utility bills, because it's one of the techniques we will want to use when we retrofit some of the older houses in the St. Roch Project."
Writing a new chapter
Lang's Marigny cottage might have state-of-the-art insulation, but its historic charm is what resonates. Built as a double, it was long ago converted to a single.
The small entrance area sets the home's tone as a sanctuary: Lang converted it to a library, adding built-in bookcases that are dense with art books and other reading material.
"I didn't really change any of the basic room configurations, " she said. "I just decided to make this entrance room into a library because I don't like the idea of walking right into a home from the front door."
A long side table once used for sewing "turns out to be perfect to lay books on, " Lang said.
The library leads into a compact but charming dining room. "I know people don't use dining rooms that often any more, but I actually do use this one, " she said.
Along the back wall is a large English sideboard that "holds the world, " and has moved with Lang from house to house. A quirky chandelier hangs overhead.
"It's definitely not old, " Lang said. "I just like it because it's such a funky color, with those funny turquoise beads in it."
Opulent bronze-colored silk taffeta drapes complete the decor in the ochre-yellow dining room, created, as are all the window coverings in the house, by the late local designer Alain Simard.
Indoor/outdoor living
Behind the dining room, a combined den/kitchen stretches more than 30 feet, all the way to the back of the house. The space overlooks a flagstoned patio and pool, lush with potted plants and greenery, a small oasis of tropical color and privacy.
The den's long windows bring in the patio's light and color. Silk taffeta balloon shades in complementing shades of leafy yellows and dark greens reflect Lang's made-to-order paler green wall color. Twelve-foot-high ceilings make the barely 10-foot-wide room feel much larger. The narrow room accommodates the overstuffed chairs and large sofa Lang brought with her from her last address.
"Oh, they have been slip-covered many times over, " Lang said. "But as long as I have my favorite furniture and my artwork, I'm OK wherever I am." The latter includes works by two well-known local artists -- an unusual George Dureau wall hanging and two favorite Robert Gordy prints.
The den's large glass coffee table, constructed for a past Junior League Show House, is dining-table height, making meals there comfortable and easy. Lang designed the two triangular side tables beside the sofa; they are constructed of wood with faux bois finishes painted by Keith Guy, one in stripes to look like ebony and pickled cypress, the other to approximate black-and-white marble.
Lang splurged in the kitchen, adding a granite countertop, stainless-steel sink and refrigerator, and pale yellow wooden cabinets with red, yellow and green glass knobs.
"My kitchen table is my most favorite table in the whole world, " she said, rubbing her hand across its well-worn, wooden top. Around it are arranged cherry red, lime green and yellow plastic molded chairs.
"You know how everybody always sits in the kitchen? Well, that's certainly true here."
The master bedroom also is located at the rear of the house, with windows overlooking the patio and pool. It's a calm, serene space, with its white walls and all-white furnishings that contrast sharply with dark wood floors, an English chest-on-chest and Lang's father's favorite reading chair by the window.
"I keep thinking it is the perfect place to sit and read, " Lang said. "And I'm sure one day that's what I'll do."

Thanks for helping to find lost pug
I would like to thank the Press-Register for the great service it provided in securing the safe return of the little dog named Keau ("Lost pug is found, returned to owner").
I was not optimistic after reading the story about him being lost.
I am sure of one thing: Alvin Busby probably loves his canine companion as much as I do mine. The Press-Register probably made one of the happiest days of his already long life.
It made a great day for me as well, and I know neither Mr. Busby nor Keau.
Way to go, guys.
Greatest Christmas gift of all is love
When I was a little girl, Christmas was the best time ever. No words could explain the way we felt.
Like most children, we didn't get much, but what we did receive was great. I guess you could say you can't miss what you never had.
We always said that when we grew up, we were going to give our kids everything. Most of us did just that.
The Christmas season can be a very sad time for many families, of course. My family has faced many hard times this year. One phone call can change your whole life.
The other day, while I was having one of those "feel sorry for yourself" days, the Lord showed up like he has so many times. He began to speak so clearly to me.
The biggest lie that we have ever bought into is what we call Christmas. We say with our mouths that it's all about the birth of Jesus, but we say something else with our actions.
My mom would cry every year because she didn't have money to buy us something for Christmas. But what I just realized is this: What we needed the most of all was free — her love — and that the greatest gift I can give my children is my love
My mom has been gone for a long time. I don't miss one gift she could have given me. I miss her.
The greatest gift we can give our children, our families and friends is love. Tomorrow the toys will be broken, but our love will last forever.
God gave us the greatest gift: His son. If that's not love, then what is?

A 39-year-old woman has given up rights to her newborn daughter, who was taken away by a Nebraska child worker because the woman had helped kill her toddler son 15 years ago.
The Lincoln Journal Star says Francisca Campbell delivered her daughter, Nevaeh, on July 23. The next day a state worker took away the child. The agency didn't cite any new danger posed by Campbell, but the worker said in an affidavit that Campbell shirked responsibility for her earlier crime.
Court records say Campbell was convicted under the name Francisca Pleines of conspiracy to commit child abuse resulting in death. She served 12 years in prison. Her boyfriend at the time struck the fatal blows in October 1998, a day after she kicked and punched her son.

Top 10 performances in Terrence Malick films
Rarely viewed as an 'actor's director,' Malick has nevertheless brought out some great work

1. Hunter McCracken, "The Tree of Life" (2011)
For "The Tree of Life," Malick sought out non-actors for most of the characters and gave very little direction (as is his way). In his view, the worst thing you can do is cast someone who is naturally perfect for a particular role and then tell him or her to be someone else. In Hunter McCracken, Malick got a treasure trove of genuine actions and reactions, and I'll be honest, I surprised myself when I settled on him for the top spot. The young actor was tasked with taking his character, Jack O'Brien, through the awkward years of preadolescence, struggling with a contradictory world (external and internal), balancing aggression and compassion along the way. And, quite frankly, he's perfect in the role. Pitch perfect.

A 59-year old Port Angeles area man is undergoing rabies prevention treatment after being scratched by a bat in front of Lake Crescent Lodge in Olympic National Park on Tuesday, Aug. 12, according to a news release issued by the park.
The visitor was sitting on the shore of Lake Crescent around dusk when a bat flew out of a nearby tree and landed on him. The visitor knocked the bat to the ground, receiving a scratch in the process. The visitor used a towel to capture the bat and alerted park staff.
Park staff packaged and transported the bat to the Clallam County Environmental Health Department for rabies testing and the visitor began preventative treatment for the rabies virus. On Saturday, Aug. 16, test results confirmed the bat had the rabies virus.
Olympic National Park superintendent Sarah Creachbaum said rabies exposure is extremely rare, but fatal if untreated. She added that anyone observing unusual or aggressive behavior among park wildlife, including bats or other mammals that approach or appear fearless of humans, should inform a park ranger as soon as possible.
There are only two other known cases of rabies in bats in Olympic National Park. In 1975 a child was bitten by a bat in the Elwha Valley and in 2008 a woman was scratched by a bat in the Ozette campground.
The risk of acquiring rabies is extremely low, but the disease is fatal if not treated early after exposure, making it vitally important to treat any possible threat of exposure seriously. Since there may be no visible bite mark or scratch left on the skin because of a bat's small tooth size, bat bites may go undetected. Any bat encounter or exposure should be immediately reported to a park ranger and the person should consult a health professional.
Visitors are advised not to handle or approach bats. Bats, like all wild animals in the park, are generally fearful of humans and will avoid people. If an animal does not move away or moves closer, visitors should move away and maintain a distance of at least 50 yards. Wild animals, especially those that seem 'tame,' can pose a potential hazard to people, whether through the spread of disease or through direct physical contact.
Bats are important and enjoyable parts of the Olympic ecosystem, where they are often seen as they feed on insects after dark. Worldwide, they are major predators of night-flying insects, including pests that cost farmers billions of dollars annually.
More information about bats and rabies exposure is available at the Centers for Disease Control website, cdc.gov, the National Park Service Public Health Program website, nps.gov, and on the Olympic National Park website, nps.gov/olym/.

Cindy Janes, long-time resident and trustee on Cascade Township Board, wasn't a resident of Grand Rapids Township long before they tapped her for an appointment.
Janes resigned, effective Dec. 31 from the Cascade board,
citing a move across the township line.
This week the Grand Rapids Township
Board appointed her to represent them on the Grand Valley Metro Council Lower
Grand River Organization of Watersheds committee.
She is employed by URS AE and has experience in land management, said Township Supervisor Michael DeVries.
Previously Janes represented Cascade Township on the GVMC
executive committee, but was required to resign that position as well when she
moved out of the township.
Grand Rapids Township Deputy Fire Chief Robert Versluys had requested relief from the appointment and will step down from the GVMC LGROW committee.

Diners and cafe customers in Auckland want clearer rules over when the holiday surcharge should apply after some were slapped with the extra cost on their bills when eating out yesterday.
Aucklanders potentially face a four-day stretch of surcharge, but several cafes and bars which imposed the additional charge during the weekend told the Herald they would not charge extra today.
Restaurants added the surcharge on statutory holidays after changes to the Holidays Act in 2004 gave workers time-and-a-half pay and a day in lieu for working those days.
However, because Christmas Day and New Year fell on a weekend this year and were both replaced with holidays on Mondays and Tuesdays, there's been confusion over which days should be considered "public holidays" for the surcharge to apply.
"The statutory holidays have been replaced, so the weekend should be just that - a weekend. Why should I be paying more for my Sunday drinks?" said an irate Ron Malcolm, an Australian businessman stung for 15 per cent more on his bill at Mezze Bar in central Auckland.
Maggie Kerr, who had to pay $7 more for her $48 bill at a Chancery restaurant, said she felt "ripped off" because the reason she decided to treat a friend to tea yesterday was that she thought there would be no holiday surcharge.
"There should be some clarity to help people like me, who are on a budget, to plan when we go out," said Mrs Kerr.
The Commerce Commission says businesses are entitled to charge a surcharge if they have to pay their employees more than a normal working day.
"New Zealand businesses are free to determine the retail price for goods and services, and they do not have to justify their prices to customers," a commission spokeswoman said. She said many businesses decide not to apply a public holiday surcharge, choosing to absorb the extra wage bill.
Mezze Bar manager Ali Kuytu said the owners would not impose a surcharge for the rest of the New Year holidays as a gesture of goodwill. The manager of Mecca Chancery, Vanjo Pavlouski, said he was "95 per cent certain" of dropping the holiday surcharge today, depending what neighbouring businesses did.
Meanwhile, New South Wales eateries have found a way to get around rules banning holiday surcharges, adding a fixed charge of up to $3 per person to the bill.

Syracuse, NY - A Fabius woman convicted in an alcohol-related driving incident last year has had her conviction upheld but the sentence overturned on appeal.
County Judge William Walsh compared the Pompey Town Court sentencing proceeding for Maura B. Quinn to "a kangaroo court." He ordered the case sent back to town Justice John Voninski to be sentenced properly.
Quinn, now 45, of Route 91, had been charged with misdemeanor DWI after an incident in November 2008. The defense succeeded in convincing a town jury last year to convict her on a lesser violation count of driving while her ability was impaired for which the maximum penalty was one year on probation and 30 days in jail.
At sentencing, the prosecution argued the DWAI was elevated from a violation to a misdemeanor because Quinn had two prior DWAI convictions. That raised the maximum penalty to three years' probation and 90 days in jail.
Voninski agreed with the prosecution argument to elevate the conviction to a misdemeanor and the judge then sentenced Quinn to three years' probation and 45 days in the Onondaga County Correctional Facility. Walsh ordered Quinn released from jail after a couple of days pending an appeal of the case.
While Walsh rejected Quinn's challenge to the conviction itself in his appeal decision, he took a harsh view of what happened at her sentencing.
"Allowing a criminal defendant to proceed to trial with the understanding that he or she is charged with one offense and succeed at trial in the conduct of their defense to that charge, only to be ambushed at sentencing by being informed for the first time that they are really guilty of a greater offense which the jury never considered is fundamentally unfair," Walsh wrote. "Accordingly, such proceedings are the trappings of a 'kangaroo court,' and have no place in the American system of criminal justice."
If the prosecution wanted to have Quinn penalized for her prior DWAI convictions, it should have included those allegations in the case and proven them with evidence before the jury, Walsh noted. To wait to raise the issue at sentencing violated Quinn's due process rights, he added.
Walsh also faulted Voninski for accepting the prosecution's argument.
"Furthermore, by merely accepting the People's assertion at face value, the sentencing court abrogated its own responsibilities, improperly overruled the jury's determination and rendered the appellant's successful trial defense an exercise in futility," Walsh wrote.
The sentence imposed also was illegal for a companion charge of third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and because Voninski failed to make any distinction between the two charges in imposing the sentence, Walsh concluded.
Walsh left the aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle conviction intact, lowered the enhanced misdemeanor DWAI back to a traffic infraction and sent the case back to Pompey town court for a proper sentence to be imposed.
Voninski and Chief Assistant District Attorney James Maxwell of the prosecution appeals unit denied comment beyond saying the case is due back in court next month for resentencing.
While the DWAI case was on appeal, Quinn resolved an unrelated case that cost her a job as a nurse at Van Duyn Home and Hospital involving allegations she denied pain medication to a 93-year-old terminally ill patient who was complaining of serious pain hours before his death in January 2009.
Quinn pleaded guilty Dec. 22, 2010, to willful violation of health laws and was sentenced in Onondaga town court to a one-year conditional discharge.

Reviews for Lemon-Cream Sandwich Cookies
"I have made these cookies many times over the years and they are delicious! When the ingredients are measured correctly, the dough is supple and very easy to work with, not crumbly at all. It is a great cookie for folks with egg and nut sensitivities."
"Although the cookies did taste good, the dough was an absolute nightmare to work with. It was so crumbly, due to the lack of eggs or milk or water or anything to provide some moisture. I'm at a loss to know how anyone could roll out this dough. The cookies did taste good but they weren't worth the effort."
"This is the most amazing cookie I've ever tasted. It taste like a slice of lemon pie. Everytime I've made these people rave."

The following is a press release I sent out earlier this week that hopefully has been showing up in some state media. I'm proud of these guys and all of the hard work they are putting in on behalf of their country. Hopefully the media is showing the love back home:
KABUL, Afghanistan - Less than halfway through their deployment, the Soldiers of the 1st of the 167th Infantry Battalion have completed more than 5,000 missions and covered thousands of miles providing transportation and security to key leaders, military personnel, and civilians throughout Afghanistan.
Task Force Centurion Prime, as the battalion is known for the deployment, works as part of the NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan; an international coalition tasked with assisting the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in developing accountable, Afghan-led Security Forces.
The TF Centurion Prime commander, Lt. Col. J.R. Bass, said the Soldiers of the 167th have become an integral part and make up the largest force under direct command of NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan.
"Our Soldiers never slowed down after arriving in August and the astounding number of completed missions reflects the dedication of everyone in the 'Fourth Alabama,'" Lt. Col. Bass said. "To paint the full picture, we have safely transported 18,000 passengers across 65,000 of the most challenging miles imaginable during these first 5,000 missions. We have a committed team of infantrymen, equipment operators and maintenance personnel, communications technicians, as well as operations, intelligence, logistics, and administrative specialists who each play a key role in every mission."
Lt. Col. Bass said the Alabama Soldiers are key to NTM-A's operations.
"This battalion is responsible for the security of key military and civilian personnel who are training and mentoring the Afghanistan National Security Forces," he said. "This mission is essential in setting the conditions for accountable, Afghan-led security in the future."
Their work is not going unnoticed, Lt. Col. Bass said.
"What must be noted is that almost every day a senior leader from any one of the 38 coalition nations we protect contacts me to praise the exceptional level of professionalism our Soldiers display," he said.
The Soldiers are divided into seven different companies with missions varying from base operations to "outside the wire" activities. These numbers are approximated for reasons of operational security, however the tally of missions at mid-December stood at:
Atlas (Alpha Company) from Valley, has completed approximately 800 missions,
Spartan (Bravo Company) from Pelham, has completed approximately 1,500 missions,
Chaos (Charlie Company) from Cullman, has completed approximately 100 missions,
Dagger (Delta Company) from Sylacauga, has completed approximately 200 missions,
Easy (Echo Company) from Talladega, has completed approximately 400 missions,
Vigilant (Foxtrot Company) from Oxford, has completed approximately 1,500 missions, and
Headhunter (Headquarters-Headquarters Company), from Talladega has completed 600 missions.
TF Centurion Prime Command Sgt. Maj. John Black said so far the colder weather and early snowfall have yet to deter the Soldiers from their active operation tempo.
"I kept hearing that the pace would slow down as we got into the winter," Command Sgt. Maj. Black said. "To me the pace still seems steady and consistent but the weather is still fair. All I can really say is that as long as missions are requested and we believe they can be safely accomplished we will continue to drive forward."
The 167th Infantry traces its roots to before the Civil War when it was part of the Fourth Alabama Infantry Regiment. It has played a role in nearly every major war and campaign since, including a legendary stint in France during World War I. This is the first time the entire battalion has deployed in the Global War on Terror.

Dendrophylax lindenii
|Ghost orchid
|Scientific classification
|D. lindenii
|Binomial name
|Dendrophylax lindenii
(Lindl.) Benth. ex Rolfe
Dendrophylax lindenii, the ghost orchid (a common name also used for Epipogium aphyllum) is a perennial epiphyte from the orchid family (Orchidaceae). It is native to Florida, Cuba and the Bahamas.[1][3] Other common names include palm polly and white frog orchid.
Its specific epithet "lindenii" is derived from its discoverer, the Belgian plant collector Jean Jules Linden who saw this orchid for the first time in Cuba in 1844. Much later it was also discovered in the Everglades in Florida.
This orchid is a leafless epiphyte of the Vandeae family. The plants consist of large masses of photosynthetic roots, anchored as a network on trees. It is found in moist, swampy forests in southwestern Florida and Cuba, and other Caribbean islands.
This orchid is an exceptional monocot, as it consists of a greatly reduced stem and the leaves have been reduced to scales. The bulk of the plant consists only of flat, cord-like, green roots with distinctive "track marks". These white track marks are called pneumatodes and function in much the same manner as stomata allowing the photosynthetic roots to perform gas exchange to support photosynthesis. These roots are used for moisture absorption and their chloroplasts for photosynthesis. The outer layer, the velamen, takes care of acquiring the nutrients and the water uptake. It also protects the inner layers.
This orchid is a distant relative of the African and Indian Ocean genus Angraecum; it seems that orchid seed, blowing like dust, crossed the Atlantic at least once and successfully colonized new habitat.[original research?] This is an endangered orchid in the wild. Cultivation outside of its native environment has proven exceptionally difficult, but not impossible. Although many fail in the attempt to raise seedlings grown in sterile culture into adult plants, some have succeeded.[4] This orchid is listed on the Appendix II of CITES and is fully protected by Florida state laws and should not be removed from the wild. Wild collected plants typically do not survive removal from their habitat, and die within a year. Plants in habitat are typically found growing on the central trunk or large main branches of living trees. D. lindenii seems to prefer Annona glabra (pond-apple) trees, or on occasion Fraxinus caroliniana (pop ash) trees, being from eye-level to only a few feet above eye-level.
This orchid blossoms between June and August, with one to ten fragrant flowers that open one at a time. The white flower is 3–4 cm wide and 7–9 cm long and is borne on spikes arising from the root network. During its peak fragrance emittance in the early morning, the scent is fruity, resembling an apple.[5] The lower petal produces two long tendrils that twist slightly downward, resembling the back legs of a jumping frog. Its bracts are scarious - that is, thin, dry, membranous, and paperlike. Since the roots of this orchid blend so well with the tree, the flower often seems to be floating in midair, hence its name of "ghost orchid".
Pollination is done by the giant sphinx moth, the only local insect with a long enough proboscis to pollinate the flowers and access the extremely long nectar spur. In this regard it may be said to be the America's answer to the Madagascar orchid Angraecum sesquipedale, which led Charles Darwin to predict that a long-tongued species of moth would be found to fertilize it. Years later the moth responsible was discovered: Morgan's hawk moth Xanthopan morgani. The larvae of the giant sphinx moth feed on Annona glabra (pond apple), the same trees D. lindenii is typically associated with.[6]
Plants can be successfully grown in a terrarium-like environment mounted bare root on a decay resistant, untreated wood stock in which the wood is laid horizontally on top of a bed of living sphagnum moss, as the plants require high humidity and stagnant air, or in a wardian case or greenhouse which approximates these conditions. Plants should not be allowed to cross pollinate and set seed unless the plant is very large, at least 10 inches across, as plants without sufficient biomass will transfer all of their stored reserves into making a very large seed pod and the plants behave much like an annual and die after seed set. These plants should be given 1/4 strength fertilizer in distilled or other low salt water sources weekly.
The plants are intolerant of water with high levels of dissolved salts and will result in the roots dying off from the tips. Continued exposure to chlorinated tap water will usually kill these plants, with the tips of the roots yellowing and rapidly dying back to the reduced stem. It is normal for the plants to periodically consume and dehise older roots, but this process does not yellow the roots, they simply shrivel and turn gray then dehise completely. Healthy plants will exhibit vigorous lime green root tips which are in an active state of growth. The plants root tips will grow continuously provided they receive bright light and regular fertilization and watering, with only a short resting period in late fall/early winter. Water should never be allowed to remain standing in the roots nor should any portion of the plants roots to be immersed in standing water for any significant period of time. The key to getting these plants to grow quickly is to keep the roots moist all the time when they are small without water standing in the roots, and regular fertilization. When the plants are small and their roots become dry these plants cease to grow appreciably. They like to be kept moist but not wet to stimulate increase in biomass and active root growth when small. The roots of these plants will also tend to produce new plantlets in a starfish like manner from broken or damaged roots or from roots which have grown longer than 12 inches, a growth habit shared with other members of the genus Dendrophylax.
Although plants in habitat occasionally experience light frost with some root tip damage, as a rule, the plants should not be subjected to freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures except for very short periods will kill these plants in cultivation. Blooming is triggered by subjecting the plants to a cool, dry resting period with only very light misting every few weeks and lowering the humidity in the growing environment for a period of several months in late fall and early winter when the plants are large enough to support flowering, typically with a root mass of 7-8 inches across.
Newly forming flowers will appear from the highly reduced stem from the center of the root mass and are difficult to distinguish from aerial roots until the flower starts to develop. When new growth is apparent after giving the plants a resting period, resume normal watering. Plants which are large and have set seed pods should be given more frequent fertilizing and should limit only a single seed pod per plant by removing all but one seed pod from a plant. When attempting to produce seed pods from one of these plants, if the plant has multiple flowers all of them should be hand pollinated with pollenaria from a different plant if available, and only one seed pod allowed to remain on each plant, since not all of the flowers may successfully take. When mature, the pod contains thousands of microscopic dust-like seeds.
In habitat, successful pollination of this species appears to be an infrequent, but not rare, event. The plants also flower irregularly in habitat, and some years do not flower at all.[7]
In popular culture[edit]
The plant plays a pivotal role in the non-fiction book The Orchid Thief, by Susan Orlean and the movie based on the book, Adaptation. The ghost orchid of Blair Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary also inspired the fiction novel, Ghost Orchid by D. K. Christi.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- After one of his worst performances of the season, possibly career, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was quick to take the blame for Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
"Everybody was playing their asses off," Stafford said. "It's on me. I have to play better. I'll take that loss. I told those guys in there, that one is one me. It's on me to get it right and get this thing going in the right direction."
Stafford finished 24-50 for 246 yards with three interceptions. The Cardinals returned two of the picks for touchdowns and cornerback Patrick Peterson returned the other to the Lions 3-yard line where running back Beanie Wells punched it in for another score two plays later.
Stafford know the success of an NFL franchise hinges on the play of the quarterback and his play wasn't anywhere near good enough on Sunday.
"That's about as bad as I can play. For us to be successful I have to play a whole lot better than that and I understand that."
While coach Jim Schwartz didn't dispute Stafford's role in the loss, he said it there were more problems than the play of the quarterback.
"Yeah, Matt has to take better care of the football in some situations, but also, we have to do a better job around him," Schwartz said. "We got our butts kicked up front, Matt took too many hits. Of course he's going to say that, but there's other ways we can help him, too."
Schwartz also referenced some of the team's other costly errors, including a fumbled punt return and a deep pass dropped by tight end Tony Scheffler in the fourth quarter that could have brought the Lions within a touchdown .
Perhaps because of his own error, Scheffler didn't find it necessary for Stafford to put the loss squarely on his shoulders.
"I don't think Matt needed to do that, but it means a lot to players," Scheffler said. "We all know that we could have played better. It's not on him, it's not on one person."

Okay, let's get the important business out of the way first: PIE.
The first 300 people to register for the Uberthons Turkeython will receive a pie. Participants each take home a 4" pie. The top 3 overall male/female winners each take home 1, 2, or 3 full-size pies depending on where they place, and the top two runners in each age group also take home a big pie. That is a LOT of pie.
The 5K and 10K races begin in Cook Park (Tigard), and wind through Durham City Park and Tualatin Community Park before returning to Cook Park for the finish. It looks like the 10K will be two laps of the 5K loop, with one small detour.
The race organizers are encouraging all participants to bring two cans of food for donation. Canned food will be delivered to St. Francis Church Food Bank in Sherwood, OR. You can also direct some of your registration fee to support Tigard, Tualatin, or Commonwealth schools (you indicate your choice on the registration form).
As I wrote earlier this season, Uberthons has offered to allow runners to 'gift' registrations to their friends, and will also give free race registrations to anyone having financial hardship. Here is their note about the Turkeython:
"And, lastly, we say bring all your friends, but, what we really mean is this - if you have friends or acquaintances who want to come to the Turkeython, but have a choice to make between a turkey in the oven or the Turkeython, we want them to do both. If folks want to run, let's have them run. A gift from you and us, let's say. Running on Thanksgiving morning can be a great tradition, but, if the economy has stolen the money from the running budget, let us know. If you want to, please help your friends, or have them email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will provide an unconditional free registration for them. They may choose to bring the entire family to enjoy the event - and to that we say "the more the merrier." If they want to run, let's get them to the event. How many friends do you have who would come under these conditions?"
In addition, if you participated in either the PIR race or the Run for Kyron, you receive a complimentary entry to the Turkeython! You know what this means: free pie.
Race details:
Turkeython kids' race (1K), 5K, & 10K run/walk and canned food drive
When: November 24, 2011 (Thanksgiving morning)
DOR registration begins at 6:30 AM
5K and 10K start: 9:30 AM
Kids' race: 11 AM
Awards ceremony: 11:15 AM
1K run/walk: $5
5K run/walk: $25
10K run/walk: $35
Kids' race is FREE to kids 13 years or younger

The key to changing careers is planning, says Donna Misener.
Misener had an exciting career in 1993 as an executive assistant at the Home Shopping Network in Florida. She was an executive assistant, a job that came with the perk of meeting celebrities who came on the show.
While at HSN, Misener began volunteering at a local hospital. She liked the atmosphere and became a nursing assistant through an "earn as you learn" program there.
When her family returned to Central New York in 1998, Misener tried looking for a job in health care, but couldn't get a job in the field because her Florida credentials didn't transfer.
Then Misener, 40 of Clay, developed her plan: She wanted to be a nurse.
In 2003, six months before nursing school graduation, the company laid her off as part of a restructuring.
"My employer at the time knew I was going to school. They knew eventually I would leave and become a nurse," Misener said.
Misener said she lived off her severance and 401(k) while finishing her training. She got a job at St. Joseph's, but the shifts there didn't match her family responsibilities.
Seeking a job more aligned with her obligations, Misener took a position with the Visiting Nurse Association, where she is a staff development coordinator.
"I realized home care would be the avenue where I could have a day shift schedule," she said.
Misener said her plan is far from over. She's working on a bachelor's degree in nursing from the State University of New York Upstate Medical University and considering which master's degree program to take, either in public health or education.
The key to any career change is planning, Misener said.
"If you're going to change careers, you have to have a plan in place, a five -year plan," she said.

By ANNE-GERARD FLYNN email@example.com It's akin to being part of a giant book club with lots of fun activities attached. The assignment? Read New York Times Magazine editor Paul Tough's book, "Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada's Quest to Change Harlem and America," in conjunction with Canada's Springfield Public Forum appearance on Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Springfield Symphony Hall. Tough will also make an appearance here on Oct. 15 as part of "The City Thinks 2009: Education, Poverty and Hope for the City." His free lecture will begin at 7 p.m. in the Griswold Theater of American International College in Springfield; a reception will precede the event at 6:15. The lecture is part of the forum's collaboration with the Springfield City Library and other area institutions to engage a wider public through book discussion groups and a series of related events including an art and essay contest on "urban education and poverty" for students in grades six through 12. "It is a great opportunity for us and a natural link into something with that large a venue. I'm also psyched about the topic. I read Canada's book right after college. It has an old-fashioned appeal in terms of binding a community together to create a safety net. It also has a strong connection to our city in terms of poverty and struggling schools," said Anna Brandenburg, who as the library's adult program coordinator has been involved with City Thinks for what is now the third year. Book clubs interested in becoming involved can e-mail Linda S. Grodofsky at the East Springfield Branch Library at lgrodofsky@springfieldlibrary .org or call (413) 263-6840. The program is funded by American International College Honors Program, the MacDuffie School and Mass Humanities. "The City Thinks offers three weeks of book- and issue- discussion groups, documentary screenings and cultural and children's activities to offer area residents opportunities to learn more about a particular forum topic," said Patricia A. Canavan, the forum's executive director. She noted that winners in the essay and art contest will have their work displayed and distributed at the Canada lecture and will also be invited to the pre-lecture dinner. "It's particularly important to engage the young in forum activities because they have both a lot to say and much to learn, and we want them to contribute to and participate in the community dialog around forum topics," Canavan said. A few of the other activities include the screening and discussion of the documentary "Hard Times at Douglass High: No Child Left Behind Report Card" on Monday at 7 p.m. in Amaron Hall of American International College; a mural project for students ages 6 through 18 on Oct. 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Brightwood Branch Library under the direction of Sheila and Stan Coly of a Thousand Cranes Studio in the Feeding Hills section of Agawam; and a first book discussion on Oct. 13 from noon to 1 p.m. at the Springfield Central Library. Canavan added that the "City Thinks programming is just part of the forum's educational outreach activities." "Many of our speakers also hold small group discussions with local students and educators with a particular interest in their topic. By providing this educational component to our programming, we hope people who are inspired by forum speakers' topics will have the opportunity to explore these themes more deeply," Canavan said. Check your local library for copies of Tough's book. A full schedule of activities, including a chess competition for adults and youth at the Springfield Central Library on Oct. 24 from 1 to 4 p.m., can be found online at www.spring fieldpublicforum.org

The Tottenville squad belted three homers, but yielded six runs over the last two innings. SS faces Binghamton's Maine Endwell today at 3 p.m.
Starting pitcher Robert Regina, who left after the fifth inning with a one-hitter, cracked solo HRs in the second and fourth innings. Joe Latona's three-run HR in the fifth made it 6-1.
Merrick added a single run in the fifth, but exploded for five in the sixth, the winning run coming on a passed ball.
