Coach speak at its finest
The high school football season isn't called the fastest 10 weeks of the year for no reason. In the blink of an eye, this weekend completed Week 7 of the slate, leaving three games left in the 2013 regular season.
With that said, it was two months ago now that the Tribune Chronicle and every sports department in the state was wrapping up their preseason football previews. The publication showcased previews on every team, which at the time all have the same record and chance of making the playoffs. It also gives each coach the chance to give his best "coach speak" interview and tries his best to get the media to believe every word out of their mouths.
So, let's take this opportunity to look back two months ago, and see who was telling the truth. Or trying to get us to believe something that just hasn't happened.
Austintown Fitch coach Phil Annarella: "We want to keep things rolling. How well we do that is going to be based on our supporting cast. We have a lot of question marks and I'm not sure who's going to fill the bill at whatever positions."
Apparently the Fitch supporting cast could win an ESPY, Oscar and Emmy award for their performance so far this season. The Falcons are 7-0, ranked fourth in the state in the AP poll and will likely move into the second spot in Division I, Region I of the computer ratings.
Many thought Fitch would be good – not many thought they would be one of the best teams in the state. After their impressive 30-27 victory over Massillon on Friday night, the Falcons are still only allowing 8.5 points per game.
Because Division I will take 16 teams out of Region 1 to the playoffs, it is likely Fitch will have a deep run into the postseason. Not bad for a team with a lot of question marks and supporting players who needed to step up two months ago.
Jackson-Milton coach Mark Assion: "We're planning on being exciting on offense, making some big plays through the air, and putting a lot of points on the board."
Now, many thought this was the best example of coach speak ever, as Jackson-Milton had not had a lot of success over the years – including an 0-10 2012 season. However, Assion was correct when he said the offense would put up some points.
The Blue Jays, which are 4-3 this year after an upset victory over Mineral Ridge on Friday, are currently averaging 31.4 points per game. During the winless 2012 campaign, Jackson-Milton only mustered 17.2 points per game.
The boys from North Jackson are one of the surprise teams of the season so far. With their four wins this season, they have already equaled their win total of the last three seasons combined. While it's going to be hard to win Division II of the Inter Tri-County League with Western Reserve sitting at 7-0 on the year, the Blue Jays could pose problems for Lowellville and McDonald in Weeks 9 and 10, respectively – two teams that are battling for a playoff spot.
Warren G. Harding coach Steve Arnold: "John (Coleman) is a very good running back; he was just sort of overshadowed by LeShun (Daniels) last year. … we're expecting a breakout year for him."
While Coleman has put up decent numbers for a fullback (70 carries, 294 yards), unfortunately Arnold named the wrong running back to have a breakout season for the Raiders.
Sophomore Keemari Murry has been the go-to back for Harding, already accumulating 1,005 yards through the first six games. He did not play in Friday's loss to Euclid due to an injury.
While the Raiders are not having the season they would have liked to (4-3), and will likely miss the playoffs this year, Murry is a back to watch for the future. With the year he has had so far, it would not surprise any if he follows in the steps of Dan "Boom" Herron, LeShun Daniels and Maurice Clarett as one of the best in Harding history.

SOUTH EUCLID -- Police apprehended a man who is accused of entering a woman's home, taking her purse, which contained car keys, then taking her car.
The crime took place at about 5:15 a.m. Nov. 15 at a home on Campus Road.
"A woman was in bed and heard the back door of her home slamming shut," said SEPD Det. Sgt. Ben Parisi. "She got out of bed to find out what was going on and she saw the interior light of her roommates' car on in the driveway."
The woman went outside to investigate and encountered a man sitting in the car. When spotted, the man drove the car out of the driveway.
The woman went on to discover that her purse was missing, as was a laptop computer.
Police could not locate the car that day, but Parisi said he came across the stolen automobile parked in from of a Lambert Road home on Nov. 16.
"(Police) conducted surveillance on the house until the suspect was seen getting into the car," Parisi said. "Police followed him and after driving for a short time, he got out and ran."
Officers apprehended the suspect, 18, who lived at the Lambert Road home in front of which he had parked the car.
The stolen items were recovered in the car.
Parisi said the suspect has not yet been charged but is expected to be charged with burglary and receiving stolen property, both felonies. He was transferred to the Cuyahoga County jail on Nov. 20.

Findings for PPC in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs Ranks Amongst Most Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Colorado Springs was the 9th most expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of September 2016. Colorado Springs also ranks amongst the most expensive cities in Colorado, ranking as 3rd. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Year over Year Google Adwords Prices for Colorado Springs are up in September 2016
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Colorado Springs keywords increased by (Yr/Yr increase %)% versus the same keywords one year earlier.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 236% Higher in Colorado Springs than Pueblo
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Colorado Springs are 236% higher than in Pueblo. The average price of a click in Colorado Springs is $21.79.
This price difference is understandable though, given the population of Pueblo is less than Colorado Springs, which generally means less competition and therefore lower prices.
To understand if prices in Colorado Springs are relatively low, we also compared prices with Kansas City which has a similar population, and found the average price of a click in Colorado Springs was 19% higher than in Kansas City. This suggests that perhaps Colorado Springs prices are not relatively low.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

The Portland Trail Blazers fell 105-99 to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night, dropping to 1-1 on the current six-game road trip.
To recap: Vince Carter played like it was 2003, O.J. Mayo couldn't miss, the Blazers went cold in the second half, and now Friday's game at Houston gets a little bigger since the Rockets are now a full game ahead of Portland in the Western Conference standings.
Joe Freeman's got your game recap here, and here's a look around the web at what everyone else is saying about Portland's 105-99 loss to Dallas last night:
The Trail Blazers were scorching hot from deep in the first half, hitting 9 of their first 16 three pointers and that helped them build a 12-point lead. Wesley Matthews, like he did Monday, started the game very aggressive and was certainly in an early zone. But, he ended up being the only Blazer to hit a three in the second half, and that one was a desperation heave when the game had pretty much been decided. He'll also be thinking about the three that he missed in the final minute that would have tied the game at 97. It was right on line, but rimmed off. After that, the Mavericks all but put the game away.• Tim MacMahon, ESPNDallas.com:
Coach Rick Carlisle challenged his team to crank up the intensity after the Blazers burned the Mavs for 61 points in the first half, when Portland hit 46.7 percent of its shots from the floor, including 9-of-16 from 3-point range. The Mavs responded by holding Portland to 38 points on 38.5 percent shooting in the second half. The depth-starved Blazers scored only 17 points on 30 percent shooting in the fourth quarter. "The intensity level definitely picked up," big man Elton Brand said. "There starters play heavy minutes, so that might have had something to do with it."• Eddie Sefko, Dallas Morning News:
Perhaps most illuminating was the Mavericks' 38-9 advantage in bench points. The Blazers are notoriously thin and the Mavericks pushed the pace all night and finally ran down the perhaps-overworked Portland starters down the stretch. "It worked out in our favor," said Bernard James. "We're a lot deeper than they are. Our bench can contribute a lot more than theirs can."• Candace Buckner, Columbian:
The Trail Blazers started this game by playing one of their most efficient halves of basketball - no, really, the 61 points were just one off from tying a season-best mark for the first half. And the oddity was that, judging by the statistics, they should have launched more shots from beyond the arc as the Trail Blazers made 9 of 16 (56.3%) but just 12 of 29 (41.3%) from closer range. But after such a hot start, there's a reason why the Blazers lost this one to Dallas, 105-99. They should've left the three alone.• Dwain Price, Star-Telegram:
After giving up 61 points in the first half, the Mavs rolled up their sleeves and were outstanding in the second half defensively. Portland went 21 of 45 from the field, including 9 of 16 from 3-point territory in the first half. But in the second half, the Blazers were just 15 of 39 from the floor, including only 1 of 14 from three-point land. "These games are hinging on a made or missed shot here or there," Carlisle said. "We were able to come up with some big rebounds. And we did a couple of other things defensively. But mostly it was just disposition and attitude."• Dwight Jaynes, CSNNW.com:
When this team is clicking, it's getting everyone touches, it's moving and playing the most unselfish brand of basketball we've seen around here in a long time. And it's important to remember, that doesn't always show up as wins. Especially on a team with Nic Batum struggling with a wrist injury that seems to make him not even want to take shots, a roster without much help off the bench (Nolan Smith posted another one of those minus-16 performances in nine minutes) and an undersized center who doesn't defend very well. This group plays hard. It competes to the very end every night and you just count them out against anybody. It's getting way more accomplished this season than I ever expected and I'll be the first to admit it.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — On a Sunday after Mass, hundreds of members of St. Mary's Catholic Church gathered outside to show support for their Turner Avenue NW parish, which is expected to see changes under a Grand Rapids Diocese restructuring plan.
Letter writer Stephen Kokx says the demonstration was disrespectful to Bishop Walter Hurley.
"The passion they have for their church is simply amazing," he writes. "However, their demonstration in opposition to the bishop was wrongheaded."

Catholics should support bishop
As a practicing Catholic, I know there are parishes in Grand Rapids that could benefit from the energy of the parishioners at St. Mary's. The passion they have for their church is simply amazing. However, their demonstration in opposition to the bishop was wrongheaded.
What I found most curious about their protest was organizer Mike Braunschneider's decision to recite the words of John Lennon. Don't get me wrong, Lennon was a fine musician, but if you're going to hold a rally about intra-Catholic issues, you're better off referencing someone who knows a thing or two about Catholicism.
These days, it seems that every lay person is their own bishop. Some Catholics have gone so far as to endorse the egregious Health and Human Services mandate, while others think abortion and same sex unions are morally permissible.
In my opinion, the parishioners at St. Mary's were very disrespectful to Bishop Hurley. Though the clergy should seek advice from the laity every now and then, Catholics should remind themselves of what St. Paul wrote in chapter 12 of his First Letter to the Corinthians and support their religious leaders – especially in these trying times – even if they don't always agree with them.
STEPHEN KOKX/Grand Rapids
Republicans are uncooperative obstructionists
President Obama has repeatedly tried to work out compromise deals with the Republicans, but so much is added to any proposed legislation by the GOP there is no chance of anything being passed.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Republicans' main objective was making sure Obama is a one-term president, and they're playing the game to perfection, not only being uncooperative but obstructionist.

Editor's note: Lieutenant Mike Major is a member of the Navy Reserves and drills at the Navy Operational Support Center in Saginaw. He also is employed full-time as the director of career services at Saginaw Valley State University.
Major was recalled to active duty in 2011 and spent more than nine months in Afghanistan, serving as a combat advisor with the Afghan National Civil Order Police, capturing insurgents, rooting out improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, and overseeing the $3.8 million renovation of a dilapidated Afghan base.
Major was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Navy-Marine Corps Combat Action Ribbon for his service.
"There were days I didn't think I'd make it home," Major said in his office at SVSU.
While he was in Afghanistan, Major's wife, Megan, gave birth to their second child, Gregory, three and a half months early.
Here is Major's story, in his own words.
I would like to start by wishing Happy Veterans' Day to all the Veterans of the Great Lakes Bay Region. Thank you for your service and enjoy your special day, you've earned it.
There is an old saying among those in the military that when a service member goes on deployment, the whole family is mobilized. I can easily vouch for the accuracy of this statement.
I had stepped down as head women's tennis coach at SVSU in December 2010, despite being named GLIAC Coach of the Year in October, to spend more time with my wife Megan who was expecting the birth of our son Timmy in November. While I thoroughly enjoyed my role with SVSU Tennis, it was a part-time position, and I wanted to focus on my full-time position as director of Career Services and, most importantly, dedicate more time to being a dad. Needless to say, that didn't quite work out as planned.
I found myself getting on a plane for Louisiana to begin Combat Advisor Training for two months before heading over to Afghanistan as a personnel advisor a week after our fourth wedding anniversary and Timmy being just over 7 months old.
Megan and I sold our home, and she and Timmy were able to split living with her father, Tim Sujkowski, step-mother, Cathy, and 14-year old sister, Sarah, in Bay City and mother, Cindy Balhorn, and step-father, Keith, in Pinconning. This would give Megan help with Timmy and enable her to continue full-time employment at CUAdvantage/Reimold Printing in Saginaw, where she is a copywriter and client service representative.
During my training at Ft. Polk we were allowed a four-day weekend for Columbus Day, and Megan was able to come down where she delivered me a huge surprise; she was expecting and due on March 15, 2012. We decided that his name would be Gregory Michael Major, named after Commander Gregory Schlichting, a mobilized Navy Reservist from Woodbury, Minn. Cmdr. Schlichting was my team leader in Afghanistan, who promised Megan that he "would get me home safe." He definitely lived up to his promise.
By Christmas I was already feeling sad but relieved that while I missed Thanksgiving, Timmy's first birthday and Christmas, I would at least be heading home in mid-March for R-and-R leave to watch our new son's birth. However, our son had other plans, and on Christmas night, Megan went into labor at 28 weeks. Unable to delay it, our second son was born on December 26, 2011, nearly 3.5 months early.
It is only because we live in the greatest nation on Earth that my son was able to survive. Doctors at Covenant were able to deliver him and instantly connect him to the ventilators that would sustain him until he was strong enough to survive on his own. My son was only 2 pounds 14 ounces when born with brain hemorrhaging to the point that his right ventricle was filled with blood. He would be in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for just over four months before he came home on April 29, 2012, yet another event that I missed.
Fortunately, I get to close with a happy ending to this story. Gregory Michael Major is now 11 months old and is doing amazing, thanks to the efforts of the neonatal team at Covenant, from the doctors to the amazing nurses who cared for his every need and taught Megan how to change his nasal feeding tube. With the help of Ann, Michelle and Pam, Gregory's OT, PT and RN from Mid-Michigan Home Health Care, he is now able to sit up, starting to crawl, and use his left hand. You would all be so proud of his progress! We were all very pleased to celebrate his baptism at St. Agnes in Freeland on Saturday, Nov. 10, with Commander Schlichting as his Godfather via Skype, who was unable to attend because he volunteered for a back-to-back tour of duty in Afghanistan when his replacement's orders were canceled.
There is no doubt that the true hero in this whole story is my wife, Megan. To be able to manage a schedule with Timmy, who doesn't even turn 2 until later this month; Gregory in the neonatal ICU, and full-time responsibilities at CUAdvantage/Reimold Printing while her husband is in a war zone living at a remote Polish firebase is amazing. As any parent can relate, there is no end to the energy level of a toddler, and though exhausted, Megan never missed a beat. She did an amazing job of raising two happy little boys, and, because she routinely played the "Daddy Reads Stories" video I made before I left and books from the USO's reading program, I was not a stranger to my sons when I got home.
With every great story of triumph, the hero always has help along the way. Obviously, our parents filled a huge role in all of this. Tim and Cathy Sujkowski and Cindy and Keith Balhorn opened their homes to us, even after my safe return while we conducted our home search, helping out with late-night feedings and child care coverage. My parents, Vince and Faye Major, made several trips up from Florida, most recently to help us move into our new home.
While family is an obvious choice of recognition as an "unsung hero" during one's mobilization, there are several others who I would be remiss in not taking a moment to offer a very public thank you for their service and assistance on behalf of me and my family during this mobilization experience.
Dave Youngstrom, our accountant from Yeo & Yeo and Chris Weeks, our Realtor from Keller-Williams. I know that it may seem odd that I would begin a litany of thanks to our accountant and realtor. However, I believe that it is an important message to those of you in professional services fields that may have military clients serving overseas to follow the examples of professionalism set by these two individuals. Dave, knowing that I was the one who typically handled our tax return information, met with us prior to me leaving. He assured Megan that he would help her take care of everything. He even checked in with her periodically throughout the mobilization, making sure that we had all documents in line to file a quick and accurate return upon my homecoming. Chris, knowing that we had sold our home before I mobilized was ready to go as soon as I got home and even made himself available during my R-and-R leave to help us get started. He was proactive, sending us listings and communicating with me in Afghanistan as we tried to schedule as many showings as possible. Showing an extreme amount of patience, Chris helped us negotiate an affordable price for our dream home, one in which we pray our children will grow up happy and healthy. Both went above and beyond what their jobs required and we are grateful for it.
CUAdvantage/Reimold Printing, Megan's employer. These great people kept Megan's spirits high, whether it was a light joke or always keeping a stash of chocolate near-by. When things became really serious with Gregory, Mike and Cathy White, the owners, worked out an arrangement for Megan to go to part-time status but retain eligibility to return to full-time once I was home and our affairs were in order.
With Saginaw Valley State University, my employer, perhaps the most humbling experience of my mobilization occurred in August at the annual "Welcome Back" presentation delivered by President Eric Gilbertson to all faculty and staff. During his speech, President Gilbertson had a slide with my picture on it and welcomed me home. I was not prepared for the standing ovation that followed. The love and support from my colleagues on that day was overwhelming. I will never forget that. To Gloria Wagener and Sam Tilmon from the Career Services office, I don't know how you did it, but my office looked the same when I returned to work on October 1, 2012, as it did on July 22, 2011, my last working day before the deployment.
The Parishioners of St. Agnes Catholic Parish in Freeland, where I only attended one Mass before mobilizing. Upon being recognized in front of the parish by Fr. Robert Deland, I had several parishioners seek my contact information and kept in contact with me throughout the mobilization. One parishioner, Bill Cymbal, even gave me his personal pocket rosary, something that I carried in my pocket throughout the entire mobilization. It was without hesitation that we joined St. Agnes upon our relocation to Northern Saginaw Township.
There were also a select few who I entrusted the full details of my experiences in Afghanistan. These folks know who they are and without their counsel, trust, and support, I would have been lost. Thank you, for everything!
As we celebrate the living veterans, we also take time to offer prayers for those who were not blessed with a homecoming as I was. I would like to take a moment and offer a special prayer for the family of Army Corporal Darrion T. Hicks 21, of Raleigh, N.C.; assigned to 54th Engineer Battalion, 18th Engineer Brigade, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, Bamberg, Germany; who died July 19 in Ghazni, Afghanistan; from injuries caused by an improvised explosive device.
While I did not have the honor of meeting Corporal Hicks personally, he was a member of the Route Clearance Company that would accompany my team on missions. He passed on the day my teammate, LT Joshua Strubeck from California, and I left Ghazni to begin our journey home. I owe my life and safe homecoming to the brave members of RCCs. I will forever remember and honor Corporal Hicks' sacrifice.
There were many valuable lessons I learned from my Afghanistan experience. It was a difficult mission, and I am grateful to have served with many brave soldiers from the 300th MP Company from Fort Riley, KS and fellow Navy Reserve sailors from NOSCs throughout the US. Our mission required us to go into remote locations throughout Ghazni Province and work side-by-side with our ANCOP counterparts.
I do not want to get into the specifics of what I accomplished, but I can tell you this: On the days that I didn't know if I would see the next sunrise, my prayers went to being able to kiss my wife again and being able to watch my children grow up. I gained a full appreciation of being able to celebrate every moment I have with my family and am grateful that my prayers were answered and I did get to come home.

Study shows more contaminants in Port Angeles waters
The Department of Ecology will hold an open house Tuesday, March 13, to air the results of a recent study of the sediments in Port Angeles Harbor.
Ecology began the study in 2008 as part of the Puget Sound Initiative, an effort by the state to restore the sound's health by 2020. Researchers hoped to determine the distribution of chemical contamination and wood debris in the harbor and to identify the likely sources of the contaminants.
Ecology says the study revealed the presence of a number of "major chemical contaminants," including dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), "both of which can persist in the environment for decades."
"Dioxins and PCBs are endocrine disruptors, may cause reproductive and development effects, and are potential carcinogens," Ecology said.
Other contaminants include toxic metals as well as ammonia and sulfides from decomposing wood debris, all which are harmful to plants and animals.
The largest contamination "hot spots" are in the inner harbor and near the former Rayonier pulp mill, in the eastern part of the harbor.
The results of the study will help Ecology determine who is responsible for the contamination. Some of the data will be used for the Rayonier Mill cleanup, which is already in progress.
Rebecca Lawson, Ecology's regional manager for the Toxics Cleanup Program, said, "Although this study took longer than we anticipated, it gives us enough evidence to begin talks with those potentially liable for cleanup in the harbor. We were tasked with helping to clean up Puget Sound by 2020 and these reports are a major step towards that goal."
Ecology staff will respond to the comments in a written summary after the comment period ends on March 23. The next steps, they say, include further data analysis and identifying and working with the potentially liable parties on legal agreements for their part of the cleanup.
The two reports and a fact sheet are available at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/tcp/sites_brochure/portAngelesHarborSed/paSed_hp.htm.

DEPTFORD — Deptford Township Council recently re-adopted a $335,000 bond ordinance authorizing the acquisition of various pieces of equipment and capital improvements around town.
According to the ordinance, $140,000 of the funds have been appropriated for an updated tax collection system and the replacement of the public works garage roof.
"Our tax collector retired this year," Mayor Paul Medany said. "And once she left, everybody said, 'We have to get back into the age of technology. [New software and hardware] is more efficient."
Medany also said the public works garage had substantial leaking.
The other $195,000 will also go toward the replacement of the municipal building's heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, and the completion of the Oak Valley Veterans Park.
Medany said he sees each item and improvement as a necessary one. These were so necessary that the bond was initially adopted in the spring.
According to Medany, the bond ordinance itself was adopted earlier this year, but the "state misplaced our supplemental debt statement" somewhere along the way.
The statement, Medany said, is a required attachment for any bond.
New Jersey Local Bond Law states that supplemental debt statements must also be prepared and filed with the township clerk prior to the introduction of any bond ordinance.
Medany said the re-adoption was just a "safety measure" and needed to be carried out before the year's end, as advised by township counsel.
"Maintenance and infrastructure repairs — you have to do it," Medany said. "And we always try to stay on top of that."Contact Jessica Bautista at 856-686-3729 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Fruitless Effort: Chautauqua Lake Central School Board Examines Menu

MAYVILLE — Leading a horse to water or a kid to fruits and veggies doesn't mean the horse will drink or the youngster will eat if anecdotal evidence provided by the dumpsters at Chautauqua Lake......
You can thank Mooshell for the waste of food in the schools cafeterias. There was really no problem until she stuck her unwelcome nose into the issue.

Give them the greasy, fattening stuff they eat at home and then worry about their health when they are 30 or 40.

So do the "super" and the board kowtow to every federal suggestion. The federal gov. should stay out of education. At best, let the state put in their 2 cents, and the local boards and parents make most of the decisions. PS: NO to common core

RTJ short course plays big for its size
Address: 1 Sunbelt Parkway, Glencoe
Phone: 256-892-3268
Web site: www.rtjgolf.com
Par: 27 (nine holes)
Yardage: 798-1,946 yards
USGA course rating: NA
Slope rating: NA
Greens: Bentgrass
Green fee: $16.96, $12.72 w/Trail card
Date played: May 20, 2008
Silver Lakes, part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, is a few miles south of Gadsden, near the Saks community. It's home to some of the toughest holes on the Trail - the championship nines are called Mindbreaker, Heartbreaker and Backbreaker - and the short course does its best to keep up with the big boys. With four sets of tees, the short course can play as short as 798 yards or as long as 1,946 yards. It has the reputation of being the most demanding of the Trail's short courses. It's a reputation built on plenty of water (seven holes require a tee shot over water), wellplaced bunkers and big, undulated greens. The 81- to 192-yard second hole features a large multitiered green just begging for a three-putt. The 94- to 254-yard sixth is a gorgeous hole with a 12-foot waterfall sitting just right of the green. The finishing hole is as demanding as you'd want in a par3, playing 61 to 211 yards over water to a green surrounded on three sides by . . . you guessed it, water. The course was in excellent shape - the Bentgrass greens were smooth and receptive - and it would be an easy walk as there aren't many elevation changes or much distance between the green and next tee. With just nine holes, you have to play the same holes twice to get in 18. Playing a different set of tees - or just mixing and matching - will make it play a bit differently.
Score: 8 (out of 10)
Fantastic practice facilities - large range with several targets, a short-game area with a bunker and practice greens that are just like the greens on the course. The clubhouse features a wellstocked pro shop - all kinds of name-brand shirts, hats and equipment - and a first-class restaurant/bar, typical of the Trail sites, where you can get sandwiches, salads and a wide variety of drinks.
Score: 5 (out of 5)
The woman working in the pro shop was friendly and helpful, going out of her way to help us find what we were looking for. We received good service in the restaurant, and we saw the beverage cart out on the course even though there was an outing being played on the championship nines.
Score: 5 (out of 5)
As far as I'm concerned, you won't find a better deal than the short courses on the Trail. At just under $17 (even better with a Trail card), you can play some of the best (and toughest) par-3s around. Each hole is unique and worthy of being on one of the championship courses. I like to use the short courses to work on my iron play, and playing some of the holes from the back tees will even allow you to hit a hybrid or fairway wood. I also like to use the short courses as a tune-up before hitting one of the championship nines.
Score: 10 (out of 10)
Final score: 28 (out of 30)

Gov. Robert Bentley said tonight that Alabama faces a somber budget outlook, and sacrifices and difficult decisions will be needed for state government to live within its means.
In his first State of the State address, the new governor told legislators that he is proposing bare-bones budgets with cuts to most state agencies and a controversial proposal for teachers and state employees to pay more of their health care and retirement costs.
"We will be called to do without. But while there are sacrifices that must be made, I can tell you we will come out on the other side of this difficult time stronger than ever," Bentley said.
"In the budget I am presenting, there will be sacrifices. There are losses. But it's what we must do to maintain and sustain a budget that taxpayers can afford. One that is responsible, realistic and balanced," Bentley said.
Bentley, a Tuscaloosa physician, said he is proposing in the General Fund budget to shelter the state Department of Corrections and the Alabama Medicaid Agency from budget reductions. But he said most other General Fund agencies will see cuts of 15 percent to 45 percent. The state can no longer afford nonessential programs, he said.
"Historical sites, tourist attractions and halls of fame are wonderful for tourism and travel, and I want you all to visit them. But they are not as important as providing health care to low-income children and elderly or keeping state troopers on the road," he said.
Bentley said that, under his education budget, no state-funded teachers would lose their jobs to layoffs. But he said he will ask teachers to pay more for their health care and retirement costs.
"We are only asking our teachers to do what virtually everyone else has been forced to do in these tough economic times," Bentley said.
Bentley said he also is asking state employees to contribute more.
The governor received some of his most divided applause of the evening on that proposal -- with some legislators clapping and others sitting sternly in their seats. It also is certainly where he will see one of his toughest legislative fights.
"We cannot balance the budget on the backs of state employees and teachers," Senate Minority Leader Roger Bedford, D-Russellville, said after the speech. Bedford said the state would be breaking a covenant with the public employees.
"I think he will have a difficult time passing that in the Legislature," said House Minority Leader Craig Ford, D-Gadsden.
Bentley also is proposing to end the state's deferred retirement program, known as DROP, saying the program has become too costly for the state to continue. The program allows eligible public employees to delay retirement for up to five years and then get their retirement benefits from those years in a lump sum.
Bentley told lawmakers that he is proposing a dire but realistic budget to try to lessen the chances of proration, or across-the-board cuts made when revenues fall short of expectations. Bentley said his goal is to never present a budget to legislators that must be prorated.
"The good and hardworking people of the great state of Alabama deserve better than for their state government to adopt another irresponsible budget, promising much in the beginning, but always falling short in the end. The taxpayers expect more and deserve for us to make these hard choices that lie ahead," Bentley said.
Bentley, who ran on a campaign pledge of not accepting a salary until the state unemployment level returns to normal, repeated his promise that job creation will be his top priority.
Bentley said he was establishing a new Office of Small Business Development. He is also proposing legislation that will give businesses a one-time tax credit for creating jobs.
"Today, I truly believe our state is on the verge of dramatic change. Jobs are coming to Alabama," he said.
Bentley, who on the campaign trail often railed against federal government intrusion, said the state must try to solve its own problems without the help of another federal stimulus bail out.
He told legislators that he would support their efforts to pass legislation allowing Alabamians to opt out of the federal health care plan. He said he also will support legislation to toughen the laws on illegal immigration.
Rep. Jeremy Oden, R-Vinemont, said that, while Bentley's speech of sacrifice and tough decisions may not have been liked by some people, it was honest.
"I think it took a lot of guts to make that speech. He had to look everybody in the eye and say we don't have the money. And that is not an easy thing to do," Oden said.

Coverage from the match
Now I know how the Richmond Kickers fans felt after the championship match last season was decided in PK's. It was a heartbreaking way to lose. Especially after we tied it up in the 120th minute. The soccer gods had been good to us. They had been very good to us. So I should not complain. However, it is a tough pill to swallow. After giving up a goal early Harrisburg tied the game up off of a corner kick. (see video below)
Things were a bit chippy in the first half, and they got even chippier (is that a word?) in the second half. I actually thought we controlled the bulk of the play over the course of the entire match but it just wasn't meant to be. We could have prevented the game from even getting into PK's, so I should not be one of those guys who blames losing on penalty kicks as a scape goat. Matt Nelson was strong in net for CPB and the shootout proved to be the killer.
Still though, to be 4-2 in the U.S. Open Cup is awesome. We made it to the second round and lost a tough match. Good effort guys, lets keep fighting hard and continue the great momentum we have in the USL-2 regular season.
Here are some photos, a video of the Calvano goal, and some links to reports and articles.
Here is the Calvano goal off of the corner kick. Again, sorry for the poor quality but its the best I got! The bad news is that it is hard to see Calvano put it in the net. The good news is... the reason it is hard to see is because the 2007 championship banner is in the way!

Sons of Ben invade City Island
Special thanks to the "Sons of Ben" support group for attending last nights match. The Open Cup matches that do not involve MLS teams always have lower attendence figures than regular season USL-2 games. That being said, you couldn't tell by the noise level last night. The Sons of Ben did a great job of rooting on Harrisburg. Just wish we could have squeaked out a win for them!
CLICK HERE to go to the Sons of Ben website.
Big game tonight. I will be there to get a report, take some photos, and hopefully see us win! I myself have been guilty of focusing more on who we "might" play if we win tonight rather than focusing on the match itself and taking one game at a time. One great thing is that coach Becher is smarter than that and will have his team geared up and ready to play. Danny Cepero is out for tonight. Brian Pope will get the start in net. In a related transaction, the City Islanders have signed Sam Bishop to play as the back-up just in case. As you are well aware, Sam spent numerous seasons with Harrisburg in the past.
Watch this entry during the day, tonight, and tomorrow morning for updates...

You can read a few comments from the guys about Harrisburg in the Crystal Palace preview. It was nice reading Mike make positive comments about Harrisburg but they will have their game faces on once the match gets under way.

In a possible case of mistaken dog identity, Griggs says the family dog, Callie, that he dropped off at the Tail Wag-Inn boarding kennel in Dundee before spring break was not the same female black Labrador he picked up a week later.
Kennel owner Allison Best says she's confident she returned the right dog, and that Griggs twice claimed the same dog he now says is not Callie.
Griggs picked up who he thought was Callie on March 30 shortly after returning from spring break. But in the car, he noticed the dog acted differently.
"That poor dog was like, 'What the heck is going on?'" he said.
Griggs says he has hired an attorney to resolve the matter.

From The Oregonian of Saturday, April 12, 2008 -- Dog owner: Kennel returned the wrong Labrador: The kennel says it's his, but a man is certain the Lab he picked up is just posing as his best friend
By Yuxing Zheng
Ken Griggs insists there's an impostor living in his Lake Oswego home.
But the suspected doppelganger won't -- er, can't -- fess up.
It will, however, answer to the name Dixie.
In a possible case of mistaken dog identity, Griggs said that the family dog, Callie, he dropped off at the Tail Wag-Inn boarding kennel in Dundee before spring break was not the same female black Labrador he picked up a week later.
"Callie's been with our family for seven years," he said. "We've had her since birth. I've got five kids who have grown up with this dog, and she's part of the family. We just want to get our dog back."
Kennel owner Allison Best said that she's confident she returned the right dog and that Griggs twice claimed the same dog he now says is not Callie. But Callie's vet said she examined the dog and found physical discrepancies that led her to conclude the dog now snuggling at the Griggs house is not Callie.
Neither dog has an identifying chip.
Griggs picked up the pooch March 30, shortly after returning from spring break. But in the car, he noticed the dog acted differently. Back at home, the cat -- normally best friends with Callie -- started hissing and chased the dog into the kitchen. Callie would heel; this dog did not.
"That poor dog was like, 'What the heck is going on?' " he said.
He returned the dog to the kennel that day.
Best spent the next day researching any possibility that Callie had been confused with seven other black Labradors staying at the inn that week, including a female that shared Callie's kennel for three days.
Owners of the seven other black Labs all told Best when she called that they had brought home the right dog.
But the owner of Dixie, the other dog Callie shared a kennel with, said her dog had undergone a "personality change," Best said. After three or four conversations that day, that owner adamantly told Best she had the right dog.
Still, Best arranged for that owner, Griggs and their dogs to meet March 31 for a possible exchange. The woman called saying she was late, Best said.
Meanwhile, Griggs had arrived with his family and strolled through the kennel. A black Lab got excited when the Griggses approached, his kids declared it was Callie, and into the car the dog went.
The problem?
It was the same dog the Griggs had returned the day before, Best told them.
"It's uncanny how much it looks like my dog," Griggs said. "I'm sure it was happy to see us and recognized us from the day before and mistook us."
Best called the other dog owner and told her the situation had been resolved.
But with lingering suspicions, Griggs took the dog to his vet.
Callie had surgery to her left elbow as a youngster; this dog showed no trauma. Callie also had steel sutures after being spayed; this dog had none that showed up on the X-ray. The dog also seemed to have dropped 10 pounds in a month.
"We know it's not Callie," veterinarian Andrea Frost said.
Best said she has done everything she can to reunite the proper dogs and owners.
"Mr. Griggs kind of lost his credibility with me the second time he came into the kennel with his family and reclaimed the same dog," she said. "If he can't recognize his dog, I don't feel I can be any help."
Griggs on Monday hired a lawyer. Best referred the brouhaha to her insurance company.
Nobody's quite sure what will happen, but the mystery dog seems to have settled in.
"It's a sweet dog," Griggs said. "It's tough because now we've had the dog for 10-plus days, and the kids, especially the younger ones, start to get attached to the dog. I like it, but I want mine."

VERACRUZ, Mexico -- Karl reached hurricane force in the Gulf
of Mexico today after dumping heavy rain on the Yucatan
Peninsula. It was expected to strengthen more before hitting Mexico's
coast near a port and an oil hub late during the night or early Friday.
U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, said there was a
possibility that Karl could become a major hurricane with winds of 110
mph or higher before making landfall.
The Mexican
government issued a hurricane warning for a 150-mile stretch of coast in Veracruz state. On its predicted path, Karl could
make landfall near the coastal city of Tuxpan and the oil hub of Poza
Workers in the port city of Veracruz cut dangerous tree limbs and inspected billboards to make sure they would not become flying debris if the hurricane hit.
By early Thursday, Karl was about 310 miles (500 kilometers) east of Tuxpan, with winds of 75 mph (120 kph). It was moving westward rapidly at about 12 mph (19 kph).
In the Atlantic, Hurricane Igor spun into a Category 4 storm that could generate dangerous rip currents along the U.S. East Coast over the weekend and bring large swells to the Bahamas and Virgin Islands before that. Category 2 Hurricane Julia — was not a threat to land.
Karl could cause storm surges of 6 to 9 feet (2 to 3 meters) and "large and destructive waves," as well as dump up to 15 inches (40 centimeters) of rain in some areas of Veracruz state, the Hurricane Center said in a statement.
Poza Rica, while slightly inland, houses important pipelines and natural gas- and oil-processing plants operated by the state-owned oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos. Pemex said it had no immediate plans to halt production at the plants because of the storm.
Tuxpan is an old port city of about 135,000 people on a river near the coast in northern Veracruz.
As a tropical storm, Karl hit Yucatan on Wednesday, downing tree limbs and causing power outages. The storm made landfall on the Mexican Caribbean coast about midway between the cruise ship port of Majahual and the coastal town of Xcalak.
Violeta Pineda, who has operated thatched-roof bungalows known as the Hotel Kabah Na for 13 years, said waves were rolling about 25 yards (meters) onto the beach and eating away at a stretch of road that runs along the coast.
Electricity went out briefly around Majahual. But the town took an almost direct hit from Category 5 Hurricane Dean in 2007 — the third-most powerful Atlantic hurricane ever to hit land — and "this is nothing in comparison," said Pineda.
Karl's center passed close to Chetumal, the capital of Quintana Roo state. The city had minor flooding and the storm knocked down tree limbs and some electricity line, cutting power to some areas, said Damaris Victoriano Rascon, an employee of the city civil defense office. She said there were no reports of injuries.
Farther to the east in the Atlantic, Hurricane Julia briefly intensified into a powerful Category 4 storm Wednesday before weakening to a Category 2 storm early Thursday with maximum sustained winds near 100 mph (160 kph). Hurricane Igor's top winds reached 140 mph (220 kph) on a track that could take it over Bermuda by Monday.
(Associated Press Writer Miquel Angel Hernandez wrote this report, with a contribution from Mark Stevenson in Mexico City.)

"Both ends of Pine Street have huge dips in them - bottom-of-the-car-scraping dips," Davey writes. "And on the end that meets Market Street (Route 512) the blacktop is so eroded you can see the original cobblestone street."
Davey says parking access for her home is on Pine Street.
"I have knocked my muffler clamps loose a couple of times, scraped the bottom of my car numerous times and have had extensive damage to my suspension since moving (here) in 2006," Davey says. "It's one of the few streets crossing from 512 to Pennsylvania Avenue that is not designated 'one way' so it's pretty popular as far as use."
Somebody Do Something is a regular feature in which we focus on problem spots in the Lehigh Valley and northwest New Jersey. Among the problems we've drawn attention to are rundown buildings, dangerous or confusing traffic intersections (one was fixed), broken stairs (that were fixed), a bumpy road (that was fixed) a dangerous storm drain (that was fixed) and an uneven driveway (that was fixed). The goal is to highlight the problem, generate public discussion and, hopefully, get the problem fixed by those with the power to do so. If you know of a trouble spot that you'd like to see featured, post a comment below or email Janice Blake Piccotti at email@example.com.

Since we have a Dishplayer/501/etc forum, how about a UltimateTV forum and a DirecTivo forum?

There was a D* PVR forum when this place first started back in June but it was a ghostown with hardly any posts so it was removed. All DTiVo and MSUTV posts can go in the DirecTV General Forum. If we start getting a lot of D* PVR related threads then a separate forum will be created. Thanks for feedback though.

It's Mardi Gras and it feels like spring on this Tuesday. And if you plan to tie one on this evening, be sure to check out this research on binge drinking and hangovers. Welcome to your lunch hour and the top 5 most-read stories on OregonLive.com.
1. Could you do this job?
Dave Thomson is Multnomah County's only code enforcement officer. He takes on the work nobody else wants to touch, from poop to cockroach infestations to hoarder houses. And, as Kelly House shows you, he has a great attitude about it. Check out her story about how he spends his days.
2. Who should have taken last-second shot?
The Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers on Monday night with seconds to spare, and Joe Freeman wonders what you think today about who, maybe other than Damian Lillard, should have taken the final shot. See what Freeman thinks and weigh in yourself. (Check out photos from the game above).
3. Comcast offers low-cost cable
Mike Rogoway reports that Comcast will continue to offer low-cost cable to families who have children who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The service was to have expired after three years. Find out who qualifies and what else Comcast is up to.
4. Damascus neighborhoods look to leave
Damascus residents are watching closely to see whether Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber will sign House Bill 4029, which would allow deannexations. About 100 homeowners on the edge of town are ready to leave the city and possibly annex into Happy Valley.
5. Taxi driver violated rights of same-sex couple
State labor regulators determined that a taxi driver who left a same-sex couple on a roadside in July violated their civil rights. Read more about the decision and add your comments.
Have a great afternoon, and stay dry as wet weather moves in.

The town of Compiègne plays foil to its star attraction, the opulent Château de Compiègne, with extensive gardens that make excellent picnicking territory. The eighteenth-century château, two blocks east of the Hôtel de Ville along rue des Minimes, inspires a certain fascination despite its pompous excess. Napoleon commissioned a renovation of the former royal palace in 1807, and the work was completed in time for the emperor to welcome his second wife, Marie-Louise of Austria – a relative of Marie-Antoinette – here in 1810. The ostentatious post-revolutionary apartments stand in marked contrast to the more sober Neoclassicism of the few surviving late royal interiors, a monument to the unseemly haste with which Napoleon I moved in, scarcely a dozen years after the Revolution. The Théâtre Impérial was first planned by Napoléon III in the historic apartments of the Second Empire. It was only completed with a restoration project in 1991 at a cost of some thirty million francs. Originally designed with just two seats for Napoleon and his wife, it now seats nine hundred and is used for concerts.
To see the Musée de la Voiture in another part of the vast palace, you have to join a one-hour guided tour. It contains a wonderful array of antique bicycles, tricycles and aristocratic carriages, as well as the world's first steam coach.
You can visit the palace gardens separately. Much of the original French-style garden was replanted on Napoleon's orders after 1811. The result is monumental; the great avenue that extends 4.5km into the Forêt de Compiègne was inspired by the Austrian imperial summer residence at Schönbrunn on the outskirts of Vienna.

The members of People First of NOLA rang in carnival season with a night of dancing, local New Orleans cuisine, and a special toast from King and Queen Zulu at its second annual Mardi Gras ball on Jan. 11.
The New Orleans chapter of People First, a national self-advocacy group comprised of individuals with disabilities, hosted the ball at Crystal Magnolia Country Club in New Orleans East for its 59 members and their families to celebrate the hard work and the dedication that members had put in and, of course, to let folks cut loose and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year in New Orleans.
Tammy Johnson, who was largely responsible for the event as executive director of Family Helpers of Greater New Orleans and adviser to the board of People First NOLA, said that she was moved to tears by the turnout at the ball.
"I really believe that if we don't think outside of the box and go the extra mile for people with disabilities we are doing everyone a great disservice," said Johnson. "Everyone deserves to experience a Mardi Gras ball. The night was magical."
Gilbert Johnson, 25, was crowned king of the People First of NOLA Mardi Gras ball, accompanied by his queen, Pat Puzzio, 64. The couple had barely been received by the applauding crowd when they and their court of five dukes and five maids began dancing to the Mardi Gras anthem "Do Watcha Wanna" by Rebirth Brass Band.
"I'm proud of myself for winning queen and I want to celebrate with dancing," said Puzzio with a brilliant smile that managed to even outshine her glamorous ivory lace gown. "I love dancing, it's my favorite part of Mardi Gras."
King Zulu Elect Cedric Givens and his lovely Queen Monica Givens gave an elaborate toast to everyone at People First of NOLA and presented King Johnson and Queen Puzzio with gifts.
Douglas Melancon, Mayor of Zulu and his company, A-1 Customized Companion Services, are providers to the members of People First of NOLA. Melancon and his wife, Michelle, attended the event to show their support. Douglas Melancon has been actively involved in the program for 20 years and helps to ensure that the members have in-home support as an alternative to being in full-time homes.
"The members of People First of NOLA are leaders and this Mardi Gras ball is empowering for them," Mr. Melancon said. "It gives them the chance to express themselves and it also allows for an opportunity for them to get treated with dignity and respect, just like everyone else. It's an honor for us members from Zulu to participate in this and be with the members, our friends."
Throughout the year, the members of People First of NOLA come together once a month at the Goodwill Industries at 9323 Jefferson Highway to learn how to speak up for themselves about decisions they make and learn about their rights and responsibilities as American citizens. They discuss everything from how to best access RTA transportation services to how to live independently in their own home, and have even had speakers in from Social Security to help with budgeting their finances.
By partnering with several organizations and sponsors with similar interests, People First of NOLA has been able to provide many extra services for members, including job placement. Almost all of the members have taken advantage of the job placement program, including King Gilbert Johnson, who works at Goodwill Industries in the computer labs and teaches basic computing skills to anyone who comes in for help.
Carol Calix is the Director of Families Helping Families in Southeast Louisiana, a partner of People First NOLA, as well as mother to a daughter with severe developmental disabilities.
"People First of NOLA allows people in the program to have a voice for people that can't speak for themselves, like my daughter," said Calix. "Also, friends are often hard to come by for people with developmental disabilities, and while the group itself has a serious function it also has a social function, as you can see here tonight at the ball."
Donna Francis, Director of Developmental Disability Services for the Metropolitan New Orleans District, one of the sponsors of People First of NOLA, enjoyed seeing everyone dressed up and cutting loose.
"If you look around, everyone is in their finest clothing; we're all celebrating together tonight and no one looks any different, it's beautiful," said Francis. "People First of NOLA is great for bringing us all together and putting us all on an even plane."

JAMESTOWN - Movies will return to the Winter Garden this fall.
The Jamestown Renaissance Corporation will screen a classic 1960s film in the Winter Garden Plaza at 8 p.m. on Saturday. The movie is part of an evening event that will also feature a brief presentation highlighting the JRC's recent projects.
"The Winter Garden Plaza was created as a space for our community to congregate like it did while the theatre stood," said Jason Stronz, the JRC's Executive Director, noting showing movies in the space was a natural choice. "It will be an active space in our downtown for the foreseeable future."
Stronz said he anticipates movie screenings to become a regular feature in the Winter Garden Plaza next summer.
"We were fortunate to partner with the Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz Center to show movies during Lucy's 100th Birthday Celebration," he said. "We are happy to have the opportunity to show another film this fall and look forward to making it a regular activity in 2012."
Admission to the movie screening is free. Jones 212 Bakery and Labyrinth will be providing food for patrons, who are also invited to bring their own snacks. Alcohol is prohibited.
Additional information can be found on the organization's website at www.jrconline.org or at www.facebook/JRC14701.

I assume you know that YO (at least the YO7 I have) will operate in the
"DOS under Windows mode", unlike CTDOS which requires a full DOS boot, at least
it does with my Win98. You click on YO.EXE in the directory, the computer
switches to DOS mode and you can then use only YO7. When you are done you
enter Q and the computer returns to the previous Windows state with all other
windows screens open that were running before clicking YO.EXE.
I know this is not what you asked but just wanted to make sure you were aware
of it. BTW, I also use K6STI's DSP Blaster which is DOS only and it also toggles
nicely between Windows and DOS with a single keystroke.

To the Editor:
If Mantua Township senior citizens are wondering why AARP is not assisting them with income tax forms in the municipal building this year, it is a result of the way volunteers were treated last year.
Because some offices were made unavailable, there were backups in appointments. Also, not all of the listed appointments were given to the ARRP representatives. It caused overcrowding, long waiting periods and the rescheduling of clients.
It's a damn shame. When something works, as it did before 2012, why change it?
I volunteered for AARP and I know that nothing was done to resolve these differences.
Mantua Township residents this year can have AARP assist them with their taxes at the Deptford Senior Center at 1341 Tanyard Road. The phone number is 856-848-9149.

After years of helping investors pick stocks, billionaire Warren Buffet is now encouraging fans to pick basketball games.
The carrot: $1 billion.
Now that's a well-funded 401(k) overnight!
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is insuring a Quicken Loans contest that will award that pile of cash to anyone who can correctly guess the winners of all 67 games in this spring's NCAA men's basketball tournament. There have been other large prizes awarded in similar contests: Yahoo Sports has offered $5 million, and Fox Sports has offered $1 million in their NCAA Tournament bracket competitions.
Buffett says the idea is his: While talking sports with Quicken Loans founder and Chairman Dan Gilbert in November, he pitched the idea to insure the mega-prize.
"I said, 'Here's a proposition that might be interesting to you,' " Buffett said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "It heated up three weeks ago. We quoted a price (to insure against a perfect bracket). They worked out the mechanics of it."
The contest will be free and open to the first 10 million people who sign up online. If one person submits a perfect bracket, he or she will have the option of taking 40 annual payments of $25 million each, or a lump sum of $500 million. Multiple winners would split the money.
"This will be the most fun. Just imagine if there's one person left (with a perfect bracket) at the last game," Buffett said. "I will go to that final game with him or her, and I'll have a check in my pocket. ... I think we'll be rooting for different teams."
Some mathematicians are calculating the odds at 1 in 98 quintillion, but that assumes all games are a 50-50 proposition, but, as basketball fans know, No. 1 seeds are prohibitive favorites against No. 16 seeds. So, that drops the odds. But they're still crazy high.
Duke University mathematics professor Ezra Miller estimated that even a skilled sports handicapper had about a 1-in-1-billion chance of correctly guessing all 67 winners.
"If I were Warren Buffett, anything over $10 million, I would probably do it," Miller told the Christian Science Monitor. "If $1 billion were going to ruin me, I wouldn't. But it's not going to ruin Warren Buffett."

Most people think DMC4 isn't nearly as bad as 2, but still far weaker than 3 and 1. Personally I think 4 is one of the better ones. It's why I think the reboot was so unnecessary, the series was just starting to find its voice, so to speak, and between 3, 4, and the anime, seemed to finally figure out how it wanted to handle its universe. Then they went and made a crappy new one.

North Olmsted left a trail to help drivers safely reach Interstate 480.
Yellow dashes on the pavement now guide traffic turning left from Stearns Road onto I-480 west. The goal is to prevent drivers from mistakenly entering the highway's exit ramp. (The on and off ramps for I-480 west sit side-by-side at Stearns.) The city added the line after Road Rant passed along worries from a wrong-way driver.
Mail call: The U.S. Postal Service wants to put the brakes on a hazardous situation in Rocky River.
The agency painted a white stop bar at the post office exit onto Hilliard Boulevard to emphasize that traffic should stop before rolling across the sidewalk. The pavement marking appeared after Road Rant shared stories of pedestrians dodging cars that pulled forward too far.

Check out some of the prices of these same games on ebay and you may be surprised that they can be gotten cheaper than you may think, the NES games in particular.
OK i was just thinking about how my friends play some oldschool games and the pay $20-$30 to get an old n64 cartridge. Then we are able to go on VC with our wii's and buy a game for 10 bucks, and some for even less. So with no offense, my question is, is nintendo ripping themselves off?
I realize that the games are so costly because they are rare and they can be cheap because nintendo obviously has every game ever made for their consoles and they can be reproduced virtually over and over and over again at no cost to them. So why dont they make us pay maybe 15 bucks. Don't get me wrong im glad pretty much all the games are 10 bucks or less.

Signature by Syntax
simple, complete, answer, is no.
all they have to do is make a game compatible with the wii (they dont touch the coding at all) then leave it for download. this takes extremely small amounts of money compared to the profit they make off of it.
Everything in this signature except for this text was made by Wiired, he is my creator and almighty.
Because they are no longer selling the cartiridges and now it is people and stores who own the cartridges.
Stores buy the things off nintendo, we buy off the store.
not really..
if u think about it... they already sold those cartridges to those retailers and most likely nintendo doesn't make cartridges anymore thus they sold all they have.
Most likely those cartridges are used and sold by people who already bought it.
As a matter of fact they are getting more money by reselling old games.

Think about it. Do you think Nintendo get any money from you buying old NES or N64 cartridges from 2nd hand shops?
No. They already received the money years ago.
The VC is the opposite of ripping themselves off.

And if they price them too high, fewer people will buy them and they could end up making less money overall.
You realize that you're really the first person to say this, right?
Everyone else here says "GAYMZ COST 2 MUCH."
