"We're very positive about this change," library Director Kathy Mosher said. "We feel it will benefit absolutely everybody. I think it's been a long time coming."
The change was prompted by feedback from the public, she said. People had questioned why the library wasn't a member of the county system.
The amnesty applies only to fines for materials currently on loan to cardholders. The library's collection of 32,000 books, DVDs and other items is being merged with the county system's collection.
"We want the materials back, and if they're late, you won't have to pay the fine," Mosher said.
The amnesty does not apply to outstanding fines for materials that have been returned previously to the library.
"We found our circulation was declining," she said. "Basically, we weren't serving the needs of our users. We were losing a lot of the young people, and we weren't getting the high school kids."
Mosher said library patrons will see little change in the operation of the library. The hours and staffing will remain the same, she said.
The biggest change will be that patrons will need an Onondaga County Public Library system card to take out books, DVDs and other materials from the library.
"We urging all our Skaneateles patrons — if they don't already have one — to get an Onondaga County library card," Mosher said. "They are going to need this card as of Jan. 21 to borrow anything, which means when you come into our library you'll need the OCL card."
Library patrons can apply for a county card at the Skaneateles Library or at any other suburban libraries, the Central Library in Syracuse or any of the branch libraries in the city. Residents simply need to show a photo ID like a driver's license or a school ID card, or some other form of identification to verify their address.
Mosher said that many Skaneateles library patrons already have county cards obtained years ago at other libraries in the area.
One other major change is the loan period will be extended from the current two weeks to three weeks.
The Skaneateles Library was founded in 1877 and is a state-chartered, private library funded by donations. Mosher is the only full-time employee, and there are 10 part-time employees on the staff.
Until now, the library, which has an annual budget of about $160,000, has received no public money to support its operation. Once it joins the county system, it will be eligible to receive a little more than $2,000 a year in state money.
Mosher said the process to join the county system began earlier this year, when an inter-library loan program with the county went into effect.
The county's collection of more than 2 million books, 140,000 videos, and 90,000 audiobooks materials was available to Skaneateles card holders. But county cardholders were not allowed access to the Skaneateles collection.
As of Jan. 21, the Skaneateles Library's catalog will be merged with the county catalog and available to anyone with a county card. A link to the county system will be placed on skaneateleslibrary.com the Skaneateles Library Web site.
Library board President Kate Cogswell doesn't foresee any change in the operation of the John D. Barrow Gallery, which is located in an addition at the rear of the library building, after the local library becomes a part of the county system.
County library Executive Director Elizabeth Dailey said the process has gone smoothly so far.
"I'm just delighted it's happening now," she said.
The bottom line for the community is greater service, Mosher said.
"This is a particularly hard time, and libraries are being heavily used," she said. "We felt that we needed to give something to the community, and we wanted to give them something without raising taxes. We wanted to encourage people to visit us and use us and come in and tell us want and what they need."

SAGINAW, MI — Saginaw County commissioners, in a 7-4 vote on June 18, decided to allocate $23,146.30 to reimburse the Department of Public Health for the cost of removing paint, aerosols, corrosive liquids and cleaners collected by the Habitat for Humanity ReStore location in Saginaw.
Habitat for Humanity Director Cameron Brady came to speak to county leaders about the issue at the June 4 County Services Committee meeting.
Brady explained that the Saginaw location became a collection point for a paint recycling program that resulted in an accumulation he called "paint mountain."
Research on how the paint and other chemicals needed to be handled properly, he said, revealed that the necessary upgrades to the facility would be more than the organization could afford.
"What started out for us as a benefit for us, a benefit for the community, a benefit for the waste authority just became a big EPA headache," Brady told commissioners on June 4.
Bryant J. Wilke, director of the Environmental Health Services Division of the Saginaw County Department of Public Health, told the full Board of Commissioners at its June 18 meeting that the Habitat for Humanity paint collection program has been discontinued.
"Nobody in the county is collecting any paint waste at this time," Wilke said.
Jim Cosby and Ted Klinger also spoke about the issue at the meeting Tuesday, on behalf of Battle Creek-based business E-Paint Recycling. Cosby explained what his business does, which is process and recycle latex-based paint and sell the final product, "Everybody's Paint."
"We have the capacity to recycle all of Michigan's latex paint," he said.
Klinger said the business, which he said has sold 600 gallons of the paint to Saginaw's Habitat for Humanity ReStore, wants to partner with the organization to prevent another "paint mountain" in the future.
"All of that mountain of paint we could have taken care of," he said. "And we'd really like the opportunity to take care of Saginaw's excess latex paint and get it back out to Habitat ReStores so they can build houses for our citizens."
When asked by Commissioner Cheryl Hadsall why alternatives, like working with the paint recycling company were not explored, Wilke explained that oil-based paints and corrosive items were mixed in with latex paint collected at the facility.
"Maybe part of that, in sorting, could have been done to alleviate cost," Wilke said. "But the whole cost, no."
The decision was made to pay for the clean-up mostly by drawing out all $20,000 budgeted for "special waste programs" for the year. It was explained to commissioners that not allocating the additional funding would mean those programs would be suspended for the rest of the fiscal year.
Commissioner Patrick Wurtzel, one of four commissioners voting against the funding allocation, said he did not like that the money was spent in advance of coming to the board with the issue.
"This money was spent before it came to us," Wurtzel said. "Obviously, all avenues were not investigated as far as disposal, even if latex was only a portion of this. I think with a little better planning we could have done this for a lot less money."
Wilke explained that there was a substantial public safety risk that explained the immediate action on the matter.
"What we had was a significant fire hazard," he said. "So we acted based on what we thought was a risk to the building and the community and took charge of it."

A Harrisburg man pleaded guilty Tuesday morning to charges stemming from the shooting and killing of another man at a secluded Lower Swatara Township campground last year.
Adam R. Homer, 32, entered guilty pleas in Dauphin County court to charges of third degree murder and aggravated assault.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Sean McCormack said Homer was sentenced Tuesday to 20 to 40 years in state prison.
Homer was charged in the shooting death of Michael Snyder, 48, at the campsite along Swatara Creek May 31, 2012.
McCormack said the victim and his brother, Allan Snyder, had been expecting a confrontation with Homer over a prior incident.
Allan Snyder, who was back by the wood line, saw Homer sneak up to his brother's camper, McCormack said. He shouted out, and Michael Snyder came out of the camper.
A shootout broke out. Michael Snyder was shot and killed, and Allan Snyder was seriously wounded, McCormack said.
Homer also pleaded guilty Tuesday to two unrelated thefts. One was related to the theft of scrap metal from a barn, and the other involved taking $20 from a cash can at a roadside market, McCormack said.
The incident that led to the shooting in May 2012 may have stemmed from some thefts at the campground that Michael Snyder had confronted Homer about, McCormack said.

The Subway sandwich shop on the southwest corner of Maple and Miller in Ann Arbor opened its doors last week after several delays.
The 1,100-square-foot fast-food restaurant opened Dec. 31 at 1251 N. Maple Road.
Lagos Investment Company, LLC owns the building, which was redeveloped in 2008.
The restaurant opening comes more than two years after Subway franchisee Mike Heffner signed a lease for half of the building. Issues with the cooler systems delayed construction on the restaurant for some time. Heffner could not be reached for comment on the Subway's opening.
There is a "For lease" sign in the window of the 1,100-square-foot vacant space adjacent to Subway. In November 2012, owners of the Esperance wine shop and cafe in Charlevoix signed a lease for that space, but those plans later fell through.
Subway's hours are: 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday.
Several new businesses have opened near the Maple and Miller intersection in the past year. Juicy Kitchen cafe opened at 1506 N. Maple Road in January 2013, a Speedway gas station opened on the intersection's northeast corner in May 2013 and a North African cafe and market opened at 1516 N. Maple Road in November 2013.

"We were able to experiment with an entirely new dance surface that will allow us to make a very surprising visual picture for our world premiere ballet, 'Gaga-Gaku'," she said last week. "None of this could have happened unless we were in a theater. Thank you Staten Island!"
Her Armitage Gone! company is virtually unique in the dance world. It has one foot in ballet disciplines and one in modern dance. A two-week season starts Tuesday at the Joyce Theater in Chelsea. The rep has "Gaga-Gaku," "Drastic Classicism" "Ligeti Essays" and, "Three Theories," a full-evening piece inspired by science and math.
Armitage was the much-celebrated "Punk Ballerina" of the international dance scene in the mid-1980s, a latter-day Edie Sedgwick figure — minus the smack. She answered a few questions last week about how she works and why.
Q: The new piece has Asian dance/theater traditions in its genome, plus new music by Lois V Vierk and guest ballerinas from the reviving Dance Theater of Harlem. A challenging batch of variables?
A: "Gaga-Gaku" is complex visually as it has 14 dancers in a very small space doing many different things simultaneously. It is a kind of trance dance. It mixes the very slow with the hyper-caffeinated. Imagine a fifth-century Cambodian temple dropped onto the streets of New York City and what kind of consciousness would emerge from that.
Street dance and mudras converge. It has many influences in its genome just as New York City does. Dance, like people come from traditions that make us who we are. "Gaga-Gaku" is a trans-era, trans-cultural, trans-rational, weird dance.
It is an experience of altered consciousness. The stage is only 15 feet deep, less than half the normal stage depth and all the dancers are on stage together all the time. The music is like a pressure cooker – it rises up to explosive levels.
The Miyake costumes are both hyper modern — they are origami sculptures made of fabric riding on the body — and from an old tradition.
Q: You did some rehearsing this spring at CSI. How did that come about?
A: We were incredibly privileged to work at the Williamson Theater at the College of Staten Island in exchange for interacting with the students. It was a marvelous experience and invaluable in getting ready for our Joyce season.
We rehearsed "Drastic – Classicism" with live music: Four electric guitars and drums. We were able to experiment with an entirely new dance surface that will allow us to make a very surprising visual picture for our world premiere ballet, "Gaga-Gaku."
The residency came about through the dance faculty, Gabri Christa and George Sanchez, who told me about this jewel of a theater that was the city's best kept secret. I went out to see it and loved it. We worked together to create this invaluable opportunity for all concerned.
Q: Many choreographers look to science for inspiration. "Three Theories" (2010) is based on 20th Century physics — relativity, quantum mechanics and string theory. Do you have any sense of how physicists, mathematicians, MIT undergrads would see/interpret such a show?
A: We have performed "Three Theories" many times with physics students and physicists in attendance. The shows often begin and end with dialogues between myself and physicists. Thus far there is a real recognition between us.
The physicists see how the scientific principles about time and space and volatility or serenity are captured through movement. Everyone is interested in trying to understand their relationship to the universe and there are many ways to approach it.
There is a clear relationship between the farther reaches of physics and the search for a philosophical understanding of the universe. The one thing that none of the physicists accept is how sensual the dance is. We make physics sexy.
Q: Another work on the upcoming program, "Drastic Classicism" (1981/2009), is from your "Punk Ballerina" heyday. Is it a step-by-step recreation or have you made changes? Is it true that it requires custom high-heeled toe shoes?
We can't afford custom made high-heeled toe shoes! The toe shoes with some accouterments that make them look custom made are from another punk ballet called "The Watteau Duets." "Drastic" is a wild ride of youthful jubilation — the busting out of a generation that is making the world their own.
The current version has some modifications on the original as the old video was literally impossible to see at certain points. All the ideas and style and vocabulary are from the original.
Q: A few years back — the last time we did a Q&A actually — you were just finishing "Connoisseurs of Chaos." Given the seemingly chaotic state of the world at the moment — coups, revolutions, earthquakes, tsunamis, oil spills, recessions, economic meltdowns — would you consider retiring that ballet for a while?
A: No. The concept of "Connoisseurs of Chaos" is even more relevant as it is away of making peace with chaos. "Connoisseurs of Chaos" says that the world is unpredictable. People do not control nature. We are part of nature.
It says that order emerges from disorder and that there is both beauty and peace to be found in looking at the world from that angle.

Destin Hood piled up four hits, Michael Taylor launched a three-run homer, and A.J. Cole again fired five solid innings as the Harrisburg Senators snapped a four-game funk and avoided a series sweep by knocking off Reading 9-3 Sunday afternoon in front of 3,954 at Metro Bank Park.
Hood finished 4-for-5 with two runs, an RBI and three stolen bases, bumping his batting average to .419, as the Senators (2-8) claimed the finale of this four-game Eastern League series.
Taylor, 2-for-3, scored twice and drove in four runs. The homer was his first in Double-A.
Cole (2-0) remained the only pitcher to pocket a victory for the Senators this season, striking out five against three hits and no walks in five frames. He allowed one run.
Caleb Ramsey, who replaced RF Drew Vettleson in the fourth inning, contributed two hits, two runs, a double and an RBI. Vettleson was hit by a pitch in the second inning, remained in the game briefly, but was eventually removed.
In a matchup of top prospect pitchers, Cole got the better of Reading's Jesse Biddle (0-2), who surrendered three runs (one earned) on four hits, two walks, a hit batsman, a wild pitch and a balk in four innings. He did strike out six.
Two hit batsmen, including Kelly Dugan, who was immediately removed from the game, helped Reading load the bases and ultimately take a 1-0 lead against Cole in the first inning. Harrisburg fought back to snag a lead it would keep in the third.
Taylor led off with a single and advanced to second on Biddle's errant pickoff attempt. With one out, Taylor stole third. With two outs, Jason Martinson reached on a Biddle throwing error, allowing Taylor to score the tying run. After a balk moved Martinson to second, Hood delivered the go-ahead RBI single.
Senators manager Brian Daubach on big first inning: "I thought the key to today was being able to limit the damage in the first. [Cole] hit two batters, and the way it's been going here, that would turn into 3-4 runs. But he was able to pitch out of that, which was really a key to the game."
Daubach on having a big lead for the first time all season: "You never really relax until you get the 27 down, but we could take a deep breath at least. I know it's easier to hit in those situations, and usually it's easier to pitch. Hopefully that can get us rolling."
Daubach on Vettleson's injury: "Right now our trainer [Eric Montague] thinks it's just a bruise, but he'll get an X-ray tomorrow to know for sure. We're hoping it's just 2-3 days."
Daubach on improved defense, including Justin Bloxom looking sharp at third base: "We haven't had a whole lot of games this season without errors, and it's something we've emphasized here at home. We've been pounding some ground balls to these guys, and they've been working their butts off. I know Bloxom and Ricky Hague, too, it's a new position [third base]. But we need somebody who can catch the ball at third. Just a work in progress. But the guys are willing to work, and they're going to get better."
1. LF Destin Hood (5 points) -- 4-for-5, 2 r, rbi, 3 sb
2. CF Michael Taylor (3 points) -- 2-for-3, 2 r, hr, 4 rbi, sb, sac fly, walk
3. RHP A.J. Cole (1 point) -- 5 ip, 3 h, 1 r, 1 er, 0 bb, 5 k, win

I graduated from college hoping to work with my hands. In 1987 I established my own business doing work with wood: post and beam barns, new house construction, renovations, additions. Cabinetry work led to the construction of a shop which is where I now make my woodblock prints.
My print-making career owes much to those years. Learning to work with wood, to line things up and judge by eye, to draw up plans and implement them into 3 dimensions: this was in many ways my printmaking apprenticeship. My materials are now pigments, wooden blocks and paper and my pursuit is with line, shape and color, but it still feels like the same process of visualizing something, analyzing it into parts and then putting hand to tool and getting down to work making things.

I didn't know Frazz had a dog – a rescue greyhound by the look of it. Good on you, Frazz!
Looks more like a minature reindeer/caribou.
Not Frazz – Jane Plainwell, his girlfriend. (Hope she doesn't take off for spelling!)
Certainly not her memory. What kind of dog is that?
but, then, you can get all your work done, your lesson plan done, and decorate the room done.
@rshive It's a greyhound Jane got from a rescue group. His name is Mario, and he's totally mellow until he sees a squirrel, and then he takes off like a shot.
The dog is Jane, Frazz's girlfriend?
Oh, to live in Frazziland! That nice place where people say the most insulting things, right to each others' faces. And it's fine! All you have to do is say, "Well, I was just being honest …"
Greyhounds are sweet dogs! Some of them (especially the rescues) can be high-strung, but with a lot of gentle firmness and guidance, they turn into relaxed pooches who love everybody. They specialize in the "greyhound lean" for the people they REALLY like!
@bigpuma "people say the most insulting things, right to each others' faces."
Is somebody insulting someone here? Mrs. Olsen is being self-deprecating because she's embarrassed, but Jane is lauding the work ethic that brings Mrs. O. to school even when she isn't supposed to be there. At least, that's how I read it.
annieb1012 said, less than a minute ago
@bigpuma Ah. I get your point. It was midmorning before she noticed no one else was there. Still not sure that's Jane's point, though; she always seems to me to be looking at the bright side of things!
Actually, retired racing greyhounds are not high strung at all. You're thinking of Whippets and Italian Greyhounds. We have had three retired racers over the years and from day one they have all been the most mellow, laid-back dogs we've ever met. Wonderful family pets!
Ms. Plainwell is saying, "Mrs. Olsen, you pay so little attention to doing your job well that you don't even notice when the kids aren't there." I could be wrong, though. After all, who can claim to know the minds of comic strip characters?
What's "mid-winter break?" Nothing I ever had in school. I know about spring break, but that's not for another month.
Isn't the real question whether "At about 10:30" refers to when Mrs. Olsen arrived or when she realized it's mid-winter break?

Today the FIDE World Rapid Championship starts in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Right after the World Blitz will be held, and together they're clearly the strongest quickplay chess event ever. Eight players from the current live ratings top 10 will participate, including the world's top three - Magnus Carlsen (Norway), Levon Aronian (Armenia) and Alexander Grischuk (Russia), and ex-World Champion Vishy Anand. Hikaru Nakamura tops both the official rapid and blitz rating lists.
The FIDE World Rapid and Blitz Championship will be held 15-21 June at the Dubai Culture & Chess Club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates with three days of rapid chess on 16-18 June and then three days of blitz on 19-21 June. And, yes, Chess.com will be present to provide on-the-spot coverage! This article is written from a hotel room right across the street of the Dubai Chess Club.
The opening ceremony was held on Sunday, where main organizer Khaled Zayed expressed his sincere appreciation to Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and sponsor of the event. He also expressed his gratitude to Dubai Sports Council and Dubai Municipality for playing a vital role in organizing these tournaments, and welcomed all players.
Top seed Hikaru Nakamura was invited on stage to perform the drawing of lots. From the first box he picked a black king, and so he will start the first round of the World Rapid Championship on Monday with the black pieces and it means that all participants with odd numbers will have Black for the first round as well.
In his second attempt, Mr Nakamura selected a white king and it means he will play with the white pieces in the first game of the World Blitz Championship. Read here how the American GM sees his chances.
Two years ago, a fairly strong field competed in Astana (Kazakhstan), but last year, in Khanty-Manskiysk, not many top players participated. But this year it's going to be a real treat! Check out the top 30 of the participants list (and don't miss the full list here). Only Vladimir Kramnik and Veselin Topalov are missing from the (classical) top 10:
(Full list here)
The total prize fund of U.S. $400,000 is no doubt an important reason that almost all top players are going to Dubai. A clear first place in both events comes down to earning $80,000 in one week:
Time controlsIn the Rapid Championship, each player will have 15 minutes plus 10 seconds additional time per move, starting from move 1. In the Blitz Championship, each player will have 3 minutes plus 2 seconds additional time per move, starting from move 1.
The World Rapid starts today at 3pm local time which is 1pm CET, 7am New York and 4am Los Angeles. The championship will be broadcast live on the tournament's official website with online games and commentary.
Thanks for putting links up guys...nice to have more than one.
Amazing watching some of these games.....
Here's the live stream (but it isn't very good):
And here are the games and the standings:
magnus has drawn
@themaurish, you can watch some of the games in live chess
Why can't chess.com cover the event?
can't access the official site... either
Nakamura lost his first match against Iturrizaga.
me too, the official site does not work :(
sorry works but very slowly...
Yeah..the site takes some time to load at the moment....Naka beaten!!
Can anyone else not access the official site or is it just me?
Nice live coverage on the official site showing close up of the actual board.
Just watching Naka game....exciting stuff!!
he gets a mention here phuongdang....
Very boring and awkward opening ceremony.
the ratings in the line up are incorrect, Vachier Lagrave is rated higher than Mahmedyarov
Oops! World blitz champion 2013 is not mentioned?
Take a look at the line up for this double event....Has there ever been such a large group of top class chess players assembled for a tournament??
Great live chess entertainment for the next few days...

JACKSON, MISS. -- Students from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Jackson County campus and Jefferson Davis campus, visited the Capitol on Feb. 28 and lobbied lawmakers for increased community college funding. They talked with many lawmakers, including Senator Sean J. Tindell, urging them to raise the quality of higher education by raising the amount of money it receives.
State Sen. Terry Burton of Newton told community college supporters that lawmakers appreciate the job the colleges do.
"It's important for us to know as legislators that the best value in education in Mississippi and, I believe, in the world is the Mississippi community and junior college system. Our continued economic success demands that we provide for you the best funding source that we can from the state. It doesn't go unnoticed - the accountability, the efficiency and the numbers of people you serve with those funds," Burton said. "We're going to do the very best that we can in funding you."
With 68 percent of all freshmen as their students, Mississippi's 15 community colleges play a key role in the state's higher education system that leads to a more educated populace and a trained workforce.
In 2007 legislators promised to fund the colleges at the Mid-Level point - per-student funding halfway between K-12 education and the regional public universities - but the community colleges are only getting 52 percent of the promised funds. The colleges are seeking to regain the ground they lost since the legislation was passed and funding was only 28 percent below the Mid-Level target. It will take $73.5 million to make it to that point.
Mid-Level Funding mandates per-student funding for community colleges that is midway between per-student funding for K-12 students and regional public university students. Using data from FY 2011, the regional public universities were funded at $5,803 per student and public schools were funded at $4,560 per student. Accordingly, community colleges should have been funded at $5,182 per student, but instead received only $2,686 per student.
Dr. Mary Graham, president of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, said the colleges appreciate what legislators have done to help.
"We have many friends in the Legislature who understand the role of the community colleges. You are doing a tremendous job of supporting us and we appreciate that," she said. "We are making a difference in economic development. We are making a difference in the lives of so many people. We are giving hope to the next generation. Student are able to attend the community colleges as a traditional student and as an adult student as a way to get into the workforce."
Dr. Eric Clark, executive director of the Mississippi Community College Board, said the colleges are life-changers.
"I am absolutely certain that the primary institution at this point in our history which is helping folks get off welfare, get out of minimum wage jobs and stay out of jail is our Mississippi community colleges," he said.
Among the speakers was Brian Carriere, vice president of the 900-member Mississippi Faculty Association for Community and Junior Colleges, which hosts the annual Capitol Day event.
"We know the legislators see the community colleges as important, that they are the linchpin of the higher education in the state of Mississippi," said Carriere, a history instructor at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. "We are the greatest bargain in the state of Mississippi. We ask you to reach a little bit deeper in those pockets and help us to help you in the state of Mississippi."
Student VOICES, a student-led advocacy group that encourages students to be civically engaged, joined faculty members at the Capitol.
Community colleges enroll more than 80,000 students, including 56 percent of all undergraduates and half of all students, including graduate students, taking a credit course.
Since Fiscal Year 2000, community college enrollment has grown 57.4 percent while state support per student has declined by 26.4 percent.
About 80 percent of new jobs being developed in the current economy require college-level learning, and, in Mississippi 58 percent of all undergraduates in public institutions are at a community college.
Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College graduates are more likely to be employed in a full-time capacity than non-graduates, with a 94 percent job placement rate among career and technical graduates and a 92 percent licensure pass rate amount first-time test-takers in health care and computer/technical programs. Gulf Coast graduates can expect better salaries as well, earning nearly 30 percent more during their lifetime than those with just a high school diploma. Students with an associate degree earn almost $4,000 more a year in wages than a high school graduate and $13,000 more than someone with less than a high school education.
Gulf Coast is ranked in the top 100 for producing graduates out of the 1,200 public two-year community colleges in the country. According to this independent poll, Gulf Coast ranks 59th in producing associate-degree graduates. This same poll also ranks the college 44th in producing African-American graduates and fourth in the nation for education majors. Gulf Coast is also the single-largest GED producer in the state, with more than 1,000 GEDs awarded last year.

Industrial Pendant w/ 2-Light Benjamin Cluster, c1905 Item # R0207
The liberal use of loop-to-loop connections make this fixture a simple yet unusual variation on typical pipe-pendant construction, and give the fixture extra character (not to mention flexibility). Some locations where this fixture might look nice are over a sink or counter in a kitchen, or in a stairway - all locations where this fixture's ability to freely swing if knocked or self-adjust if hung on a sloped ceiling comes in handy.
- Note: The quirky ruffled flat-cone opal reflector has a small chip on one edge, visible in the last photo, but was too fun to resist.

When questioned by his mother, a Carlisle man admitted to stealing and selling her jewelry, but that wasn't enough to keep his mother from reporting it to authorities, police said.
David A. Peoples, 39 took the gold and silver jewelry from Winifred Peoples' home in the 400 block of A Street and resold it at Marjorie's Gems for $335, police said. The next day, when Winifred Peoples asked her son where her jewelry was, he told her, police said.
Winifred Peoples called police and theft charges were filed against her son. She was able to identify the jewelry at her home.
David Peoples turned himself into police Wednesday.

It seems you can't pick up a publication these days without reading about how many of us seem to have low levels of Vitamin D. It never seemed to be a problem before; why is it now?
Thirty to sixty percent of us are at risk of low Vitamin D levels. The causes are not known, but may be related to the use of sunscreen, skin pigmentation, obesity and aging. Medications, such as steroids and seizure medications, may contribute to lower levels of Vitamin D as well.
Vitamin D seems to have many health implications in:
- Autoimmune diseases: multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohn's disease, type 1 diabetes and others
- Cardiac: hypertension, heart disease
- Cancer: breast, colon, prostate, pancreas
- Lung: asthma, wheezing,
- Psychiatric: depression, schizophrenia
There may be more. The implications for MS include an increased risk for osteoporosis and the possibility of worsening MS symptoms.
Researchers presented information at the World Congress on Treatment and Research in MS in Montreal in September that indicates the higher the levels of Vitamin D in children, the lower the risk of developing MS. Experts have long discussed the environmental phenomenon of increased MS occurrence in areas further from the equator indicating decreased UV rays may increase the risk for MS.
Early research indicates Vitamin D mildly inhibits the immune system. In the mouse model of MS, Vitamin D decreases disease severity. Epidemiologic studies (studies of populations) show decreased risk of MS with in those with higher levels of Vitamin D or increased Vitamin D intake.
Many health care providers are now checking their patients for Vitamin D levels. The problem is that we are not sure what supplementation amounts are needed. Consequently, levels of supplements are varied. It is important that you discuss your Vitamin D level with your provider. Blood testing must be done to know if you are deficient. It is not recommended to take Vitamin D supplements without testing and guidance.

Menu Plan Mondays are hosted weekly by Laura at I'm an Organizing Junkie!
Last week's menu plan featured only one night of meat. Well, poultry. And would you belive there was zero belly-aching to be heard? Zero. Color me surprised and delighted.
These Spinach and Cream cheese Enchiladas were phee.no.me.nal. YUMMO! I mean it! And the Potato Pancakes with Vegetarian Stew also got good reviews. Bean gobbled her pancake up (withOUT ketchup I might add) with wild abandon.
But last week was last week and it's up to me to trump myself this week with more tasty meat-freeness. With a successful week and a modest amount of confidence under my belt (which I have cinched up a notch, 'cause I LOST WEIGHT going meatless), I'm excited to hit the kitchen and crank out more vegetable-y goodness. Let's take a little look-see, shall we?
Fantastic Fish Pie
Sugar Snap Peas
Farmers' Market Surprise
Lemon Chicken Schnitzel with Roasted Potatoes
Green Beans
Antipasto Pasta Salad
I'm nervous about the fish pie... I hope it really IS fantastic. Wish me luck!

Menendez, who issued a statement just after U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot and severely wounded, urged both Republicans and Democrats to soften their political discourse, which he called "so polarizing, so negative."
"There can be a robust, civil debate, but that debate can be done far more responsibly," he said.
He also asserted that it wasn't the Democrat's efforts to pass health care reform in 2009, so soon after President Obama took office, that cost them the control of the House of Representatives in last year's midterm elections.
"When the economy is not going well, when you have millions of people looking for a job . that makes for very unsettling times for families," the senator said. "I think that was the driving issue."
Menendez, who acknowledged that his approval ratings were low according to recent polls, said that he is not worried about his prospects in 2012.
The Hoboken resident had much to say. Read about his opinion of Governor Chris Christie and more in today's edition of The Jersey Journal.

For dessert for her Mother's Day brunch, Marcelle made this blueberry cream cheese pie from her own repertoire. Make two; this is yummy!
Makes one pie (6 servings)
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 prepared graham cracker pie crust
4 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and picked over
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the condensed milk. Add 1/3 cup of the lemon juice and the vanilla and mix well. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and chill until firm, about 3 hours.
Combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch and the remaining teaspoon lemon juice in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the juice thickens. Remove from heat and cool completely.
To serve, slice the pie into wedges and top with the blueberry topping.

John Updike, novelist, literary critic, art critic, and man of letters, died of cancer. Here's the obituary.
A few years ago, I wrote a review of his book of art criticism, "Still Looking." It follows after the jump.
John, you will be missed.
Few post-World War II writers have touched upon as many far-flung worlds as John Updike. From angst-ridden suburban WASPs and Jewish writers to a sisterhood of New England witches and other mythical heroes, Updike's literary canvas has been dizzyingly various. But at his best, the Pennsylvania-born New Englander, with more than 50 books of fiction, poetry, literary criticism and short stories, has written with particular keenness, detail and meaning about the Yankee milieu that he was born into.
That patient, precise and sturdy Eastern seaboard perspective forms the crux of Updike's art criticism, too, most of which has appeared in the pages of the New York Review of Books. In 1989, a collection of his art-related essays, "Just Looking," was published. Recently, a second book, "Still Looking," hit retail stores, complete with exquisite, full color illustrations that make this collection a must-have even for those who have previously read the essays in the New York Review.
Like his first collection, "Still Looking" is full of acute, telling observations about 19th- and 20th-century America through the prism of visual art, with moments of universal recognition as plentiful as rustic scenery in rural Massachusetts. This is a Yankee art critic surveying his neighborhood, writing mostly about archetypal Yankee artists.
Some may be unaware that Updike has contributed clear, beautifully written art criticism for a few decades. Like the work of his American contemporary, Philip Roth, Updike's novelistic speculations on death, sex and faith are so deeply fixed in the American literary canon that his other writing efforts have sometimes been obscured.
Two of his Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom novels ("Rabbit Is Rich" and "Rabbit at Rest") won Pulitzer fiction prizes. Updike's three novels featuring his other well-known protagonist, author Henry Bech, also have received wide acclaim, while another popular book, "The Witches of Eastwick," was made into a major motion picture.
Writing novels, however, wasn't Updike's first pursuit. As he mentions in his introduction to "Still Looking," art was his initial passion. An insulated child who suffered bouts of psoriasis, Updike, now 73, took lessons from an artist who lived across the street from his family, eventually developing a talent for illustration. High school art courses, fine art classes at Harvard College and a year at Oxford's Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art followed. But like the quick turn of a drawing hand on paper, Updike's art career shifted into a literary one, his graphic fits and visual phrases morphing into descriptive prose sentences that illuminated the psyche of America's postwar middle class.
If "Still Looking" is a true barometer, Updike is unabashedly a man of his place and time --pre-electronic New England America. He makes his thesis transparent in the book's introduction: "I feel surer of my footing on American terrain." That terrain, at least in this collection, is American painters of the late 19th century through the middle 20th century. The book's 222 pages feature essays on Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, James Whistler, Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol, among others.
Readers will not find Arthur Danto-esque ruminations on history in the post historical age, nor cutting social critiques in the manner of Robert Hughes. Updike is the genteel Yankee observer. He surprises, however, in several instances, championing artists such as quintessential American modernists Marsden Hartley and Arthur Dove, artists who have fallen out of favor in critical circles.
But even on figures with reputations as solid as granite, Updike crafts new insights, deepening our familiar evaluations.
His two essays on the iconic Hopper, for instance, are spot-on assessments that burrow beneath the artist's depictions of lonely shadows in lonely rooms and behind Hopper's badly painted faces to locate the seed of the artist's "mortuary stillness." Updike deflates the myth of art-making surrounding the heroic Pollock, reminding us that his Abstract Expressionist feats began with less revolutionary forces such as Albert Pinkham Ryder, Thomas Hart Benton and Works Progress Administration artists.
And in a brief few hundred words, he takes the pop out of Warhol, beginning with this sly gem of a lead: "In becoming an icon, it is useful to die young, and Andy Warhol managed this in the nick of time, at the age of fifty-two, with the help of life-long frailty and some negligent post-operative care at the New York Hospital."
But Updike is most engaged and incisive in the essays on Homer, Whistler and Eakins. Like a cocktail scene from one of his novels, he picks apart the simple, potent symbolism of Homer's sometimes brutal landscapes. "With Homer, we feel no waste, just a succession of smaller or greater acts of possession," Updike writes. He then locates the poet behind Whistler's cocky public image, the painter of moody, nocturnal atmospheres. And he interprets the aura of Victorian manhood in Eakins' paintings of solitary, athletic scullers and rowers as an ache for democratic, idyllic grace.
Occasionally, Updike trips, losing his steady footing. Nearly 70 years after his family purchased a 1933 oil painting of Cape Cod by an Iowa artist named Alice W. Davis, Updike ruminates how the rise of a dune in the landscape reminds him of "the swell of a female hip," a rare cliche from Updike. Later, Updike flies coach class into the heavy air of nostalgia. Wearing a gossamer dress, the young beauty of Edward Hopper's "Summertime" painting awakens in the writer an autumnal revelation: "How much more erotic, I was led to reflect, thin summer dresses are than today's athletic shorts and halters!"
In critiquing art, writers should bring to the craft some knowledge of line, color and form. But most of all, they must bring their experience and sharpened perception.
That's what Updike the art lover, observer and critic celebrates with these essays written in language that is never flowery yet capable of pictorial magnificence. Like characters from his acclaimed novels, Updike the art critic does not preach revolution or the bashing of history and useful conventions. Instead, he struggles to understand the meanings of history and those long-standing conventions --from the cold, brutal power of Homer's crashing waves to Eakins' solitary Philadelphia rowers to Warhol's Campbell's soup cans.

Too little, too late for LaBrae in loss
LEAVITTSBURG – Jefferson coach Steve French knew LaBrae had a run in them.
Vikings coach Chad Kiser just wished it happened much sooner.
LaBrae rallied from a 17-point deficit in the third quarter to come within one in the last 30 seconds, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Falcons on Friday, 52-50.
The Vikings trailed, 30-13, early in the third quarter after one of Sage Cantini's five 3-pointers.
"I told the kids at the beginning they're going to make a run," French said. "It's senior night. They're a good team at home. You have to expect it and weather the storm. We have to find a way to come out on top."
Marcell Richardson, who had 10 points, drove the lane with about 2:30 remaining to cut the Jefferson advantage to 43-39.
Then, Cantini took an ill-advised 3-pointer, one of the few of the night, but was bailed out by a late call on LaBrae's Justin Jenkins, who had 11 points, with 2:21 left.
Cantini, who had a game-high 25 points, canned all three free throws to extend the lead to seven, 46-39.
Following a bucket by LaBrae's Tariq Drake, Jefferson (13-7, 7-2 All-American Conference, National Division), capitalized on a transition 3 by Cantini to push the lead to 49-41 with 1:53 left.
"He handled the ball under pressure really well," Kiser said. "For a sophomore, he had one heckuva game. He was their key all night long."
Then, Cantini floated a shot over the outstretched arms of LaBrae's 6-foot-8 senior Peyton Aldridge, a shot that rattled around the cylinder and eventually dropped for a 51-48 Falcons' lead with 35 seconds remaining. Aldridge finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Mike Eakins grabbed an rebound off an Aldridge miss with 28.7 seconds left and was fouled on the putback. Eakins sunk both charity tosses to cut the Jefferson lead to 51-50.
By this time, Jefferson's 6-7 post David Chase and guard James Jackson fouled out. Enter Wyatt Weyhmeller, who stands 6-8 and posed his own problems to LaBrae.
Sam Hitchcock made one of two from the free-throw line, but missed the back end as LaBrae rebounded and called a timeout with 4.5 seconds left.
Jenkins tried to inbound the ball, but Weyhmeller's lanky arms swatted the pass into the Falcons' bench.
LaBrae had one last attempt at either a tie or win, down 52-50.
The Vikings (15-5, 7-2) lobbed a pass over Weyhmeller to Jenkins at halfcourt, who launched a 35-footer that went just right of the rim.
Jefferson outrebounded LaBrae, 34-27, and Chase and Weyhmeller wreaked havoc for LaBrae.
"He's become a very good player," French said of Chase. "When you have Wyatt you can bring off the bench, he's an added dimension with his height."
The Vikings were 13 of 52 from the floor and 4 of 23 from 3-point range, while Jefferson shot 18 of 51 from the floor and 5 of 13 from 3.
"I think we shot more 3 pointers tonight than we shot all year long," Kiser said. "We refused to, in the first half, attack the basket. They did a great job of rebounding. It was one and done.
"That was really the difference in the game."
The Jefferson win puts a logjam atop the AAC National with the Falcons and Vikings a half-game behind Girard (15-3, 8-2) and Campbell (12-6, 8-2).
Girard travels to Jefferson tonight, while LaBrae is at Champion on Tuesday.
Kiser said his team need to rebound from this loss for LaBrae to have a chance to win its fourth straight AAC National title.
"We came out flat, not executing off the bat – getting outworked. Both of our losses we were outworked. That's something we really have to work on," Kiser said.

Have you changed the log in details? Make sure you are using lower case and no caps for the user name and password. If it fails you can reset the router by holding in the reset button for 3-4 seconds, the lights on the router should go out and then start flashing, do not hold the reset button for much longer than this as it will reset it back to factory settings and mess up the router.

MILLBURN -- Millburn Police have arrested a Hillside man on attempted kidnapping, carjacking, robbery and other charges in connection with an incident last week involving a Randolph woman who had been shopping at The Mall in Short Hills.
Tracy J. Rogers is suspected of forcing his way into the 56-year-old woman's car around 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 4, pulling out a knife and demanding money, police said.
After the woman turned over cash and jewelry, Rogers told her to drive to an ATM. The woman, though, opened the car door and ran. Another mall patron parking his car nearby assisted her and called police. Rogers then drove off in another vehicle.
Millburn detectives arrested Rogers, 43, in Newark without incident, police said.
"What was very helpful in the investigation was a witness account of the vehicle that we believe the actor fled the scene in," Capt. James Miller said. "A continued investigation led to the arrest of our suspect."
The woman, from Randolph, was not injured.
Rogers also faces charges of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon. Police recovered some of the proceeds taken during the robbery, Miller said.
Rogers is being held at the Essex County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.
He was released from prison in November after serving a nearly two-year term on burglary convictions, according to the state Department of Corrections.

I'd watch the Hobbit. I love fantasy. I love the visual fantasy world in my mind while reading and also seeing it represented on the big screen.
The Hobbit
James Bond film
The Hobbit is a mental experience. You go into that world in your mind and make it your own.
I like both Bond and Middle Earth. They are just different kinds of entertainment.
I'd watch the Hobbit. I love fantasy. I love the visual fantasy world in my mind while reading and also seeing it represented on the big screen.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
I'm picking Bond in this fight. I loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy back when they first came out but the Hobbit just doesn't thrill me as the original trilogy did. Skyfall more than lived up to my expectations after the misery that was Quantum of Solace, and so I pick Skyfall.
Went Primal July 25th, 2011.
Current Age: 25
Total Loss: 126 lbs
Starting Stats: Weighed 266 lbs, Body Fat 37.6% (100 lbs), BMI 40.9
Current Stats: Weight 140 lbs, Body Fat 15.2% (21.1 lbs), BMI 21.2
Current Goals: Get a stronger core through Pilates and continue being as Primal as I can be.
My Weight Loss Notes Now on a blog page. It starts with "My Weight Loss: Introduction." Available to the public, share with friends if you'd like!
I've never understood why Quantum of Solace is so reviled. It wasn't great, but it didn't suck either. Anywho, I enjoyed the LOTR trilogy in book and cinematic forms. However Jackson totally butchered the Entmoot, it did take a while to forgive him for that.
I would rather watch The Hobbit. There are only 2 Bond films that I liked "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Live and Let Die". I am just not into most "spy" movies. So, in this case, it's just a personal preference with little to no literary backing.
I'll probably see both. But, if I have to pay to watch ~~ The Hobbit would be the one. I can wait to see James Bond.
Hobbit. I can never understand the appeal of Bond movies. Most of them are not that great. The newer ones are better, but I sort of can barely remember them. I sure hell remember LOTR, and watched it multiple times As well as read it well before it was a cult thing, lol.
My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I want to see both. Currently reading The Hobbit.
I'm a fan of both and I've seen them both. You really can't go wrong either way.

Nashville singer-songwriter and noted film composer Keegan DeWitt spent this past summer on the road in support of his Nothing Shows EP (which received an enthusiastic review from PopMatters). Inspired by the driving energy of his live shows, he hit the studio, recording a new single, "Two Hearts", set to release December 14 as a limited edition 7" single. "Two Hearts" is a fine example of bouncy, ebullient pop, featuring a catchy chorus and a feeling of tenderness often lacking in dance-inflected music of this kind. The single is backed by "Reluctance", which features vocals from Isaaca Byrd of the Bridges. Hear an exclusive stream of "Two Hearts" below (and be sure to pony up for the vinyl if you like it!)

Associated Press
LISBON, Portugal (AP) -- Atletico Madrid forwards Diego Costa and Arda Turan trained normally on Friday, boosting their chances of being able to play in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
Costa injured his right thigh muscle against Barcelona last Saturday and had sought treatment in Belgrade from a doctor specializing in using fluid derived from horse placenta to repair damaged cells.
Costa favored his right leg at times but trained with the rest of the team and took part in all exercises. The Brazilian-born Spain striker has scored 36 goals in all competitions this season for the Spanish champion.
Turan left the 1-1 draw at Barcelona with a hip problem but also trained normally ahead of Saturday's match at the Estadio do Sport.

We purchased your PHP plugin for VS. I have problem debugging my php code. When I run the program, it displays the login page and this is what I see in the URL: http://127.0.0.1:23315/index.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=2
But when I enter user name and password (for the second time), the program login but it does not hit any break point. What I see in the URL after login is: http://localhost/test/elgg/pg/dashboard/ which is running on Apache server installed in my machine not the VS.PHP built in server.
So I think there is no link between my project in VS.Php and the server,
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks and regards,

Bill Clinton coming to Altoona on Friday
Kagarise has experience
In a world of rising violent criminal cases and civil and domestic cases, we need a candidate for judge who has a wide range of experience, who is fair and who believes courts should interpret and apply the constitution when making decisions rather than making laws.
Attorney Wade Kagarise is that candidate.
Kagarise is a strong pro-life and a pro-Second Amendment supporter. He has accumulated 15 years' experience prosecuting murderers, rapists and drug dealers and 12 years of experience litigating civil, domestic and labor law matters.
He also has been working as an assistant DA since 1998 in the Blair County DA's office and became chief deputy DA in 2006.
Kagarise has the experience, integrity and judicial temperament to be a fair but tough judge that we desperately need.
Please join me in voting for Wade Kagarise for judge.

The essens of the analysis is that IL-2 does not help, in spite the dose is 7 times higher than together with Ceplene. And, also, the side effect makes patients leave the trials.As a trace here it seems to be un ethical. In stead of focusing on the problems concerning IL-2, FDA should pay interest to the efficacy of the combination of Ceplene and IL-2. As I understand Griffins analysis there is a possible way using the data from the post approval trial in the EU as a pattern for a SPA-protocol.The study shows the good relation that management do have in this matter with the Key Opinion Leaders in the US, having this study published in Blood, the leading hematologist paper not just in the US, but in the world. Ceplene is brought forward in an excellent way to the hematologists of the world by this article.Whatever path the phase III-studie will take the exit rules in the SPA-protocol is of the most important thing to focus on here.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Two weeks ago, I wrote about how the Browns can have a "Grade A" draft in the first three rounds. Since then I received lots of feedback and comments about the piece. I also had a handful of readers asking me whether there was anything Browns general manager Ray Farmer can do in his first draft to receive a failing grade.
I have faith in Farmer. He has been trained well, played in the league and has made some good moves this off-season. I'd like to think the answer is no. But the draft is the true test for a GM. With that in mind, I created a "Grade F" draft for the Browns.
The guidelines I used were the same. Because the draft is filled with pressure-packed decisions and unpredictable results, I used ESPN.com's three-round mock draft from Mel Kiper Jr. to determine which players were available at the time the Browns selected with no trades being allowed.
Top needs: QB, WR, CB, RT, ILB
Round 1 (Pick No. 4): OT Greg Robinson, Auburn
Round 1 (26): QB Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois
Round 2 (35): WR Martavis Bryant, Clemson
Round 3 (71): CB Louchiez Purifoy, Florida
Round 3 (83): RB Andre Williams, Boston College
With this class it would be hard to see Farmer or Mike Pettine being around very long. The first pick creates a negative domino effect on the rest of the draft.
While Robinson is supremely talented, the Browns, with as many needs as they have, can't afford to draft a right tackle in the Top 5. Sure, he would help out the right side of the offensive line in the short term, but offensive line is already a strength for the Browns - ProFootballFocus ranked the group 12th overall in 2013.
The 2014 NFL Draft is Farmer's opportunity to make a difference. The Browns have racked up double-digit losses consistently and they have spent the better part of the last decade in the basement of the AFC North. The Joe Banner and Michael Lombardi regime was a disaster. But they did leave Farmer with 10 picks, including two in the first round. The opportunity to put his mark on the downtrodden franchise is there, but it won't happen drafting a right tackle with the fourth pick.
Joe Thomas still has plenty left – he will continue to anchor the offensive line for years. That means Robinson would have to make the uncomfortable switch from the left side to the right side or even kick inside to guard in the short-term.
Passing on players worthy of the selection that play more important positions such as quarterback, pass rusher or receiver to strengthen a group that is already good would be a baffling choice and a bad way to start the 2014 draft.
Drafting Robinson also means the Browns passing on this year's quarterback class, which isn't nearly as bad as it's being portrayed right now. "Holding off" on the QB spot with the fourth selection could likely mean no Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel, or even Blake Bortles - players that could solidify the Browns shaky QB spot.
It means selecting a new signal caller from a weaker group, which would do nothing except lead the Browns back to QB purgatory. If the team is serious about improving their quarterback spot this off-season, there are two choices: Bridgewater or Manziel.
While some have latched onto Brian Hoyer because he stood out among the previous pile of garbage that attempted to play quarterback for the Browns, QB is the Browns' biggest need. It has been for the better part of a decade. Passing on one early will only lead to another lost season and more questions about the future.
Garoppolo's numbers (5050 yards, 53 touchdowns and nine interceptions) were off the charts, people rave about his intelligence and he has a lightning quick release. But there are lots of issues. He doesn't handle pressure well, often freezing and dropping his eyes with a rush bearing down. Sometimes he even feels pressure that isn't there. His ball has a tendency to flutter. His deep ball can be flat and inaccurate. He didn't make throws into tight windows. He's making the leap from a shotgun, spread attack against lesser competition to the NFL, which will be quite a jump. Also, for all the size (height, weight and hand) concerns people have with Bridgewater, Garoppolo brings similar measurements.
Garoppolo has a long way to go to become a starter. I want a quarterback that can carry the offense. That's not Garoppolo. Nor is it Hoyer. They are both caretakers.
With a run on wide receivers in the late first round, the Browns grab one in the second, but it's Bryant. While he has the combination of size, speed and raw potential to be a difference-maker, which was shown in flashes, he is far from polished. Drops are an issue and he had little production at Clemson. But teams may reach because of his acrobatic catches, big play ability and upside. The second round is where he is likely to be drafted. Pick No. 35 is too high.
Running back is a need for the Browns. Even though they added Ben Tate in free agency, he has fumbling issues (10 fumbles in less than 500 touches) and injury concerns going back to his college days. Drafting a player in the middle rounds for depth purposes seems smart, but Williams – who the Browns have reportedly shown interest in – isn't the right one. Incredibly productive at Boston College, he profiles more as a two-down back because of his inconsistent hands.
A bigger back, he's going to be asked to move the chains and pound out yardage between the tackles at the next level, but the Heisman Trophy finalist was more effective running to the outside. It will be tough for him to make a living that way at the next level because he lacks great speed and burst.
The only player from this class that would play consistently and bring an immediate impact is Robinson. That's rough for a team that needs impact players and is armed with the picks to get them.

After reading the Heart Attack Grill Menu, I'm not surprised by the news that sadly, Blair River, the spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill (slogan: taste worth dying for) has died at the young age of 29, 575 lbs. Although reports say he died after suffering a severe bout of pneumonia and not a heart attack – you can't help but wonder if the Heart Attack Grill lifestyle was to blame. I mean check out the Heart Attack Grill Menu. Butterfat Shake? Really? And check out a few burger joints who get it right without going to the ER…
The Heart Attack Grill (with a location in Chandler AZ, and one opening in Dallas in June 2011) has been featured on the Food Network and other media outlets. Serving up 8,000 calorie meals can gain you quite a lot of press. The waitresses serve the meals in mini-skirt nurse costumes. Oh, and did I mention the no-filter cigarettes they sell? And on their map page they chime in: "Treating Anorexia Since 2005!" ..uh, am I the only one who finds this soo not-funny? The Heart Attack Grill (or HAG) shtick seems to be making fun of its own "heart-attack-inducing" menu…
Heart Attack Grill Menu Item Highlights…
single bypass burger
double bypass burger
triple bypass burger
quadruple bypass burger (four stacked burgers and plenty of toppings like cheese and creamy sauce)
Butterfat Shake (world's highest butterfat content)
flatliner fries (fried in pure lard)
Check out the greasy goods (with lard-dripping photos) at the Heart Attack Grill's website. You can also see a promotional video of Blair River.
But does the menu really need to be so unhealthy?? Maybe not. All the photos in this post are from "healthy" fast food joints. And check out these burger establishments…
Not Amused by the Heart Attack Grill's death-inducing shtick? Rebel against this Dietitian's-Nightmare restaurant and indulge in healthy fast food. More and more healthy (and vegetarian even) burger joints are popping up and proving to be quite successful. Spots like O Burger in Los Angeles (boasting an all organic menu) and Blossom Du Jour in NYC (all vegan fast food). Or VeganBurg, an innovative fast food joint in Singapore. There is even Otarian which serves up carbon-neutral (ECO-friendly) fast food dining. Even the uber-popular "best burger on earth" Umami Burger hotspot serves up a few healthy options like a Veggie Burger.
…maybe you don't have to serve lard to get customers?? I hope.
