Out of the Past: This week in Snoqualmie Valley history
Stories from the past 25 and 50 years, as published in the pages of the Snoqualmie Valley Record. This week's entries include:
Thursday, Jan. 7, 1988
• There's no room left in Snoqualmie, and Bellevue, Issaquah and Redmond are filling up fast. The pressure of continuous growth in the region is increasingly felt in the Valley. Since 1980, population grew by 8 percent in Snoqualmie and North Bend, 25 percent in Carnation and 100 percent in Duvall.
Thursday, Jan. 10, 1963
• Thieves broke into Snoqualmie Food Center early Jan. 2. They couldn't get into the safe by sawing off the dial and hinges, so they ended up stealing cartons of cigarettes, pennies from the register and two bottles of pop, which they drunk on the premises. They turned on the hot water and tried to flood the place, but didn't plug the sink well. They left with the safe handle, which owner Wayne Gaub would like returned.
• At a well-attended meeting January 8, the North Bend Chamber of Commerce unanimously passed a resolution in opposition to trading stamps.
• Rudolph L. Widen of Fall City escaped injury Jan. 5 when his car left the roadway of PSH No. 2 west of Snoqualmie in heavy fog and traveled 21 feet in a ditch.

By Emily Wagster Pettus/The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood says he believes former Gov. Haley Barbour might've violated the state Constitution by pardoning some inmates who failed to give sufficient public notice that they were seeking clemency.
The Constitution says any inmate seeking a pardon must publish notice about his intentions. Before the governor can grant a pardon, the notice must appear 30 days in a newspaper in or near the county where the person was convicted.
Hood, a Democrat, was going to state court late Wednesday to ask a state judge to halt the release of any inmates pardoned by Barbour if they are still awaiting the completion of paperwork to be released.
As one of his final acts in office, Republican Barbour on Tuesday gave clemency to more than 200 people.

Leo Kelley tied his first fly in June. Last week the disabled veteran caught a fish for the first time since 1993.
It was a major accomplishment for Kelley, 40, who needs a wheelchair to get around, electronic help to hear the other fishermen and struggles with the motors skills needed to cast a fly.
Project Healing Waters and an army of volunteers from local fly fishing clubs helped Kelley and a dozen other disabled veterans to cast a fly and catch a trout.
Five trout, in fact, with most reeling in a Castalia limit of fish.
"I can't cast too far," said Kelley, with a broad smile. "But I can cast far enough to catch these trout."
The stream was full of feisty rainbows, many eager to take a fly floating along in the current. Kelley was investing his efforts in a hopper pattern, a dry fly mimicking a grasshopper that was clumsy enough to fall into the water.
Enticing a trout to take his fly wasn't a problem for Kelley. His hands don't work as well as he'd like, the result of a devastating automobile accident after he returned home from the Persian Gulf War in 1993.
"I was in a coma for about a year," said Kelley. "The doctors said if I did wake up, I'd probably be blind and deaf. And I wouldn't have any motor skills."
His ability to handle a fly rod is still compromised. It may take a little help and some extra time, but Kelley isn't afraid to ask for it. He wants to be all he can be, including a fly fisherman.
His goal is quite simple.
"I want to find happiness," said Kelley. "I want to do all that I'm able to do. And maybe a little more."
Catching a trout while on an outing with a bunch of new friends is another step toward getting back into the mainstream. Kelley works hard at improving his skills, and helping others. He was once a volunteer fireman, and so dedicated he was named volunteer of the year a few times. Now he's a advocate for disabled veterans in rehabilitation at the Wade Park Campus of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center.
"I tell the guys that you've got to stay positive," said Kelley. "I tell them to never give up. No one knows what can happen. After coming out of the coma, an aide was working with me and I suddenly felt a tickle in my leg, the first time I'd had any feeling in that leg in a year."
Kelley can now stand on his own two feet, but not for long. With some help, he walks a half-mile every day and is working toward the day he can tug on waders and cast for stream trout.
Kelley has a large sense of humor. He kidded around with the other fishermen and the large group of volunteers, who were members of Trout Unlimited and Federation of Fly Fishers chapters in the area and the Ohio Central Basin Steelheaders. A license plate on the back of his wheel chair, with the location of Greenbow, Alabama, reads "Run, Forrest, Run," from the movie "Forrest Gump."
The Castalia outing was the largest put on in Ohio by Project Healing Waters, a national group that connects disabled veterans with fly fishing. It was a rousing success, said Ohio Coordinator Paul Blanch, who lives in the Cleveland area, with plans to make it a bigger event in 2011.
"We have no shortage of volunteers," said Blanch. "They have more fun doing this than the veterans."
Tony Vegh of Cleveland Heights and Jack Kempf of Belleville, Ohio, were Kelley's streamside helpers. Watching Kelley set the hook a few times without connecting with a trout, I checked the small fly tied on his line while Vegh massaged Kelley's casting arm.
It had no hook.
"That's on purpose," said Vegh, laughing. "Leo already has his limit of five trout, but wanted to keep fishing. He's not ready to quit just yet."

More than 22,000 Jackson County residents were living in poverty in 2007, according to U.S. Census Bureau numbers released Tuesday.
That number has grown by nearly 1,400 since 2005.
The county's population and median income decreased in that time, while the number of people living in poverty increased to 15 percent.
Local leaders blame the increase in poverty on high unemployment rates fueled by the downsizing of the automotive industry and rising costs of food and transportation.
Hinckley, 28, said he stays with friends, collects cans and receives food stamps to manage.
The 2007 Census Bureau poverty threshold for one person was $10,590. For a family of three it was $16,705.
The median household income in Jackson County in 2007 was $43,328, down from the inflation-adjusted median of $47,053 in 2005. Michigan's median household income in 2007 was $47,950.
Local agencies that offer assistance to low-income individuals have seen the number of people who seek help rise with the cost of groceries and gas.
"Some people have managed before on the edge; the increased prices put them in a place where they need some temporary assistance," said Maj. John Mallett, corps officer at The Salvation Army in Jackson, which has given food to 7,000 families in the last 12 months. That is up a little from last year, Mallett said.
Programs funded by United Way of Jackson County helped more than 50,000 people in the last year, up from about 40,000 in the same period the prior year, said Jim Brian, United Way marketing and communications manager.
Sharon Parks, president and CEO of The Michigan League for Human Services, a statewide advocacy and policy group for low-income residents, said there are several reasons for the rising poverty levels. Much of it has to do with the downsizing in the automotive industry.
In recent years, Jackson County has seen the loss of major employers such as TRW, Edscha and the Southern Michigan Correctional Facility.
There have also been downsizings at Eaton, Kaneka Texas and a number of other small auto suppliers.
Those who have found work are not earning as much as they did before, Parks said.
"We have a lot of people in Michigan working in very low-paying jobs," she said. "We have people supporting families with poverty-level wages."
Parks said many are unable to move out of those jobs because they lack the necessary education and training. Even if they were qualified, they might have to look elsewhere, she said, because good-paying jobs are going away.
The difficulty of finding affordable transportation, child care and housing make job searching more difficult, said Kitrina Sims, manager of the Jackson Interfaith Shelter on Blackstone Street.
Three times a day, people line up at the shelter to eat. Tuesday evening, the line went out the door.
"I don't hear bitterness, but I know there is a lot of frustration because I know people do want to work. They just have trouble finding work," Sims said.
Hinckley said he has given up the search. He said he has a 1998 felony drug conviction on his record and employers are hesitant to hire him, despite the fact it has been years since he committed the crime. "If they see a record, then you're hit," he said outside the shelter Tuesday. "I don't know what to do."
As he spoke, a woman with a stroller and two small children left the shelter and headed down the sidewalk.
The majority of those living in poverty were women, the highest concentration between ages 18 and 24, according to the Census data.
One in five children in Jackson County lived in poverty, and nearly 60 percent of those children lived in homes without a father present.
Parks said the percentage of children in poverty is especially troublesome.
Those children, she said, will have a harder time growing up due to a lack of educational and nutritional resources. The county's rate was slightly higher than the state's child poverty rate of about 19 percent. The national rate was 17.6 percent.
For the growing number finding themselves in poverty, Parks said there is less to go around from both the public and private sectors.
United Way-funded programs or agencies are getting the same allocations while serving more people, said Bethany Timmons, the Jackson County United Way director of community impact.
State budgets have been cut and people who used to donate to food pantries and other charitable organizations are being forced to cut back themselves due to high gas and food costs.
"The squeeze is on all of us," Parks said. "This should be a wake-up call."

CINCINNATI — Two Kansas convenience stores being built by Kroger here will include drive-in pharmacies co-branded with the Dillons grocery store, officials said.

FanHouse: Ron Artest plans to have a documentary made about his life, which will obviously include scenes from the Palace brawl. Artest had this to say recently on the brawl:
Artest, who celebrated his 30th birthday Friday, was asked if he's matured and is a different person since the brawl.Don't tell me you won't watch that movie. And on a related note, watch Artest throw Trevor Ariza's shoe like he's in fifth grade.
"Not really,'' he said before the Lakers were crushed by Denver 105-79 at the Pepsi Center. "I'm the same person.''
Artest then was asked if it was just a bad night for him.
"It wasn't a bad night for me,'' he said. "It was a bad night for everybody else.''
John Schuhmann: Current Piston Ben Gordon and former Piston Chauncey Billups are two of the best postseason clutch shooters in the NBA, according to the numbers. Not that surprising. Who is surprising on the list? Another former Piston, Jerry Stackhouse.
SLAM: The Memphis Grizzlies signed Jamaal Tinsley, which could mean the end of everyone's favorite ex-Piston Allen Iverson's tenure.
Motown String Music: Is Charlie V really comparing himself to Ben Wallace defensively already?
Midwest Sports Fans: A look at where the Pistons stand right now, as they head out for a tough West Coast swing.
Hoops Addict: Interesting note from the Wizards game. Apparently, Flip Saunders thinks Will Bynum's potential, and not Rodney Stuckey's, was the reason behind the Billups trade.

It was a great week for Ricky Barnes even before he landed in New Orleans late Wednesday afternoon. It got even better Thursday morning.
Just three days after the birth of his second child, daughter Natalie, Barnes tied the TPC Louisiana course record with an 8-under-par 64 to take the early first round lead of the 2013 Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
Barnes, whose group went off first at 7 a.m., took advantage of soft greens and the lift-clean-place rule, enacted because of heavy rains that deluged the course Wednesday. His 64 was two strokes better than D.A. Points, who shot 66 in the morning groupings.
"It was awesome,'' Barnes said of the birth of his daughter, born at 5 a.m. Monday morning in Phoenix. "She weighed eight pounds, one ounce. It was and it wasn't (a hard decision to come to New Orleans for the tournament). Everything went pretty smoothly. I stayed quite a while Monday (at the hospital). Was in and out Tuesday. We live pretty close to the hospital. Saw them Wednesday, mom and baby came home Wednesday to see their big brother, so it's pretty cool.''
So was shooting a course record with little sleep and almost no practice, he said. Barnes arrived in New Orleans at about 5 p.m. Wednesday then went to the course about 6:30 p.m. to work on his short game.
He got started on his record score early with an eagle on the par-5 second hole. But it was on the back nine where he did his best work, shooting 30.
Barnes birdied five holes on the back nine, including four straight on 13 through 16.
"It was great to go out and play good golf again,'' said Barnes, who has struggled this season, missing seven cuts in 11 events. "It's been a while. I've been putting in a lot of hard work and I just wanted to get off to good starts. The first couple of days, it seems like I've always just been chase the cut. So now, I get off to a good start.''
Points, who went off at 7:40 a.m., also used the early tee time to his advantage. He made it through the front nine with only nine putts and shot 33 on both the front and back nine. He had seven birdies and only one bogey.
"It wasn't super easy out there today,'' said Points, who won the Shell Houston Open three weeks ago. "It's a long golf course with no roll. But getting to put our hand on it (lift-clean-place rule) helped, especially around the greens. Chipping and pitching was a lot easier on this type of Bermuda when you can put your hand on it and give yourself a good lie.''
Nick Watney shot a 3-under score of 69 in the morning, the best of the premiere group of him, Bubba Watson and Jason Dufner, the 2012 Zurich champ. Dufner shot 2-under 70 and Watson 1-over 73.

Teachers and other staff could get a 5.2% salary increase in November, if the teachers' union and the school board both approve a tentative two-year agreement. The union was voting on the proposal yesterday; the board will take up the matter tonight if the union approved the plan.
One potentially thorny issue in the contract is a proposed switch in medical insurance. The district wants to enroll in the state benefits plan and discontinue coverage from Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield. The switch would yield savings of $70,000 per month, enabling the larger salary increase, said district spokeswoman Maren Smagala. The school board had budgeted only a 4% raise in salaries for 2008-09.
Switching to the state benefits plan would give employees the option of choosing Aetna, Cigna, or the state's contracted rates from Horizon BC/BS, called NJ Direct 10. Prescription coverage would still run through Horizon, and Delta Dental would remain the provider for dental insurance.
The change would also avoid double-digit increases in premiums projected by Horizon, Ms. Smagala said. The premiums for the state benefits plan are expected to be just a fraction of that, she said.
If the union does not agree to the insurance switch, District Business Administrator Susan Press says the agreement "will fall apart." Then the two parties will again head to the negotiating table. Teachers are now working under terms of a contract that expired June 30.
If the agreement is approved, teachers and other staff in the union would receive a 4% raise until the district enrolls in the new insurance program, projected to happen in November. Salaries would then increase 5.2% over their 2007-08 level. For the 2009-10 school year, staff would receive a second raise of 4.3%.
The final salary guide had not been hammered out at press time. However, if a new teacher received the average increase of 5.2%, that teacher's salary for 2008-09 would be $49,644. The highest salaried teacher would receive $93,387, given the same percentage increase. Starting July 1, 2009, the salaries go up another 4.3% on average. Under the old contract a new teacher made $47,415 and teacher with an advanced degree and 60 credits earned $89,195.
Ms. Press said on Tuesday that the exact distribution is still up in the air and that the increase would probably not be evenly distributed. The union, she says, sometimes puts more money into one group, for example new teachers, that it feels has been underpaid under prior contracts.
If the union ratifies the agreement, a special school board meeting will be held tonight at 7 at the district office for the board to review and vote on the contract.

By THOMAS Wm. HAMILTON
The Advance should not publish articles that dismiss doomsday so blithely. Predictions said Earth would be wiped out on three different dates in 2011.
This leaves little to destroy in 2012, so clearly the predictions for this year are to be applied to some world other than Earth.
Are we to see Neptune vanish? What will happen to its moons and rings if that happens?
Or will Callisto be terminated? What would the effect of that be on Jupiter and its other moons?
Or perhaps an exoplanet such as Kepler 21b is going to get it. We can't say, but surely all these predictions must mean something.

Department-ism: More Than Just Space Wars
The university is a great place to learn about prejudice — firsthand. The prejudice that I'm talking about is so deeply ingrained in the nature of universities and other large organizations that it is not recognized as a near kin of racism, sexism, ageism, or the other "isms" that can be found in the appendix of most general psychology texts. Perhaps it is not surprising that academic psychologists have avoided even naming the prejudice that is openly practiced on our own campuses and within our own discipline. What I am talking about is department-ism. ... More>

Human Factors 101: How About Just Trying Things Out?
While I was staring at my iMAC screen pondering options for this month's column, one of my favorite images, a self-portrait by Norman Rockwell, came to mind. In the portrait, we see Rockwell from behind, scratching his head and staring at a canvas that is blank, except for a Saturday Evening Post banner across the top. A clock, a calendar, a pinned-up note with the deadline for his cover, and assorted crumpled-up sketches make it clear that the artist (Rockwell preferred to call himself an illustrator) has little time and no ideas. ...

Psychology in a Post-Genomics
The draft DNA sequence of the human genome was announced in June 2000, two years ahead of schedule. Some party-poopers grumble that the four nucleotide letters that constitute the DNA alphabet are not GATC, but HYPE. They complain that the DNA sequence by itself does not tell us how we can begin life as a single fertilized cell and end up with trillions of cells containing the same DNA but expressing different genes. It doesn't cure any diseases. ... More>

I broke my Best of 2011 products into 4 different posts, so I thought I would compile them all into one wrap-up post.
Powder Blush
2011 was a big blush year for me. You can read about all of my favorites and see swatches here.
Face Products
It was a year of trial and error, and try again for face products. You can see which ones ended up at the top here.
Eye Products
I fell in love with several different formulas this year. I used plenty of neutrals, but also added pops of color here and there. Check out my favorites and swatches here.
Lips & Nails
I really loved lipstick and lipgloss hybrids this year, in addition to bright bold hues. My nails were ever-changing but I managed to select a few that stood out from the rest, and you can see swatches here.
I can't possibly name ALL of my favorite blogs this year. I loved so many I simply cannot choose. If you want to know what blogs I read regularly, check out my "Link Love" tab, it's what I use to check out blogs daily instead of Google Friend Connect or other services. 🙂 I want to say a special thank you to those girls who have named me as a favorite blog of theirs this year. I am honored and flattered!
I had some random favorites this year as well:
Thank you all for making 2011 so unbelievably awesome, and here is to all the wonderful things waiting for us in 2012! Cheers!
2011 was the year of glossy lips for me, but not so much with lipgloss. I preferred a lipstick-gloss hybrid because this year I decided I didn't like lipgloss that much anymore. I have gotten much more selective about what formulas I like and won't touch anything that is too sticky. I also went bolder and brighter than I ever have, thanks in part to several Lipstick Bandits. 😉 I also OBSESSED over nail polish this year. It was hard to narrow it down, but I stuck to just the ones I wore a lot.
Shiny lips!
L-R: MAC Sheen Supreme Gotta Dash, 17 Mirror Shine in Peace (UK product), Hourglass Ignite, Revlon Super Lustrous Coral Reef, MAC Viva Glam Cyndi (disc), Tarte LipSurgence Lip luster in Adored*, Burberry Lip Mist Copper
I also wore some bright, BRIGHT lipsticks this year:
So bright! L-R: Joe Fresh Fuchsia, MAC Impassioned, MAC Vegas Volt, MAC Neon Orange ( I have to thank Arianne of Glitter Geek because 2 out of the 4 came from her,. Thank you, Lipstick Bandit!)
I went nail crazy this year and it was *really* hard to pick just a few, but somehow I managed!
L-R: Butter London All Hail the Queen, Sephora by OPI Sugar Plum Fairies Gone Wild, Sephora by OPI Go With the Flow-er, OPI A True Ab-Original, OPI Mermaid's Tears, 10 Moonlight #458 (a brand I found at CVS here in the US), Deborah Lippmann Believe, Orly Rage
Well, that's it! I was going to do brushes/tools but I just don't have the wherewithal to do it, maybe in early January of 2012.
What did you wear on you lips and tips the most this year? Was there a particular color you went for more than another?
Welcome to my favorites of 2011! I love these posts; I can't wait to read what everyone else loved this year too! This edition is all about eyes.
Some of my most used liners and shadow pencils for the year (clockwise from left):
UD 24-7 liner Stray Dog, MUFE Aqua Liner #14*, Stila Sparkle line Electric, Tarte Amazonian Clay liner in Rich Green, MUFE Aqua Eyes #9L, Inglot Gel Liner #86, Mally Shadow Stick in Champagne, UD 24-7 Shadow Pencil Midnight Cowboy, MAC Fluidline Avenue(LE)
All of these proved to have excellent lasting power and were budge proof throughout the day, some were even waterproof! 🙂
Favorite Singles/Duos of 2011 (clockwise from left):
Chanel Fauve, Burberry Midnight Brown, NARS Galapagos, NARS Habanera Duo, Illamasqua Ore, Illamasqua Furore
I had three favorite palettes of 2011, this is Chanel's spring 2011 release, Ombres Perlees de Chanel. It is stunning in every possible way. Unfortunately, it was limited edition.
Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Gold PaletteThis wasn't purchased in 2011 but I brought it on two trips I took and wore it endlessly in January, February and March. It was also limited edition.
I know the orange-y looking shade looks scary but on the eyes it is so warm and amazing. I bought this palette after seeing Michele1218 do a look with it, you can see that video here.
Ahh, my everyday MAC Palette. I reach for this a lot. I swap the shadows out from time to time as well, but these are the ones I used most regularly.
Top Row L-R: Blanc Type, Nylon, Phloof!
Middle Row L-R: Moleskin (LE), Charcoal Brown, Quarry
Bottom Row L-R: Mystery, Copperplate, Satin Taupe
I fell in love with sooo many cream shadows this year and if I had to pick one stand out formula it was Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Intense. I love every shade I have tried. But, I coudn't go without mentioning some other stellar creams I used this year (clockwise from left):
Buxom Stay There in Collie, Chanel Mirifique, MAC Soft Ochre, Giorgio Armani #6 Khaki Pulse, Giorgio Armani #19 (LE, no shade name to my knowledge)
And lastly, the mascaras or lash products I used the heck out of this year:
Givenchy Phenom-eyes False Effet (I have posted about this here) and Lancome Hypnose Drama were top picks for me this year. Both give me volume and length and dark black lashes. Lancome is a bit more dramatic so I usually save that for evening wear. I also loved testing the LashEm Measurable Difference gel* this year. It has made my lashes feel so soft and I have noticeable growth. <3
What were your favorite shadows or lash products this year? Anything strike you as being really, really special? Dish!
Happy New Year's Eve everyone! I thought I would finish up my favorites of 2011 (I did one post on my favorite powder blushes of the year already, here).
These are all of the face/skin products I couldn't get enough of this year. 🙂 Enjoy!
Skindinavia No More Shine Spray, DDF Moisturizing Dew and The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream. I used all three of these so much this year. I have oily/combo skin and if you do too, you should really look into these products. They were life-savers!
I am not going to go into these because I have talked about ALL of them before, most several times. For concealers the Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer (medium) worked wonders for the face and I used the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Roller under the eyes. Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer in nude and Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation in Medium were the two bases I used like crazy. Both are close to being depleted, about 25% left. Chanel's Soleil Tan de Chanel was my first Chanel product early this year, and it is a divine base or bronzer (can be used either way). I used it this summer to help deepen too light foundations. I adore the smell!
These are the bronzers I reached for the most (clockwise from left):
MAC MSF So Ceylon (disc.), Giorgio Armani Sheer Bronzer #1, MAC MSF Give Me Sun, Dior Aurora (LE), Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Powder in bronze*
Easiest way to fake glowing skin? With these amazing highlighters that I couldn't stop using this year (clockwise from left):
Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow Rose Gold, Laura Mercier Rose Rendezvous (LE), Benefit Watt's Up, MAC MSF By Candlelight (LE), Lorac Perfectly Lit in Spotlight
I already shared my favorite powder blushes, but I didn't mention my favorite creams, which I can't go without sharing (clockwise from left):
MAC Joie-de-vivre (disc.), Joe Fresh Melon, Illamasqua Dixie, MUFE HD blush #12
That's it! *whew* stay tuned for Eyes and Lips & Tips next! 🙂 What your favorite face products of 2011? Any of the same ones that I had? Do tell!

Right-wing group investigated for 'Asian invasion' flyer
Wednesday 11 May 2011 7:45 a.m.
A right-wing group is being investigated for distributing anti-Asian flyers which police say could lead to violence.
The Right Wing Resistance, headed by former National Front leader Kyle Chapman, had been distributing the flyers in Auckland and Christchurch claiming an Asian invasion has started.
The pamphlets urging people to "Stop the Asian Invasion", have been in Auckland suburbs with high Asian populations, including Pakuranga, Howick and Northcote, the New Zealand Herald reported today.
Police were concerned the campaign could lead to racially motivated violence, Police Asian liaison officer Raymond Wong said .
Police would not hesitate to prosecute anyone who committed or incited violence, especially racially motivated, Mr Wong said.
"Some in the Chinese community are deeply concerned about these racist flyers and have taken their worries not only to the police but also to local Chinese radio," he said.
Police are investigating whether the campaign constituted a criminal offence.
Mr Chapman said the leaflet was part of a recruitment campaign and not designed to threaten Asian recipients, Radio New Zealand reported.
He said he was not a racist, but a right-wing political activist.
Race Relations Commissioner Joris de Bres said it was despicable but not much could legally be done about the flyers.
He had had at least five complaints from Christchurch and the suburbs of Northcote and Pakuranga in Auckland.
Residence approvals for migrants from China fell 13 percent last year from 2009.
Mr de Bres said the "very small group of extremists" did not represent the majority of New Zealanders.

Morning Briefing for Feb. 15: UNC softball splits 2 in New Mexico
February 16, 2014
The University of Northern Colorado softball team split a pair of games Friday at the Troy Cox Classic, according to a news release.
The first innings in each game were a big factor in determining the outcome. A five-run first inning guided Texas Tech to a 14-6 win in six innings in the first game. In the second game UNC (2-5 overall) had a four-run first inning to beat Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 8-3.
UNC senior Megan Wilkinson of Windsor was a key player for the Bears in both games, starting at first base in Game 1 against the Red Raiders while pitching a complete game in Game 2 against the Islanders. She totaled five RBI with two home runs, both coming against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Three other Bears totaled two RBI.
In Game 1, Texas Tech was able to score two RBI singles in the top of the first inning before a home run knocked in two more runs. The Red Raiders brought nine more runs home in the top of the third. The Bears answered with six runs over the next three innings. Wilkinson recorded two of her three RBI in the game with a double in the bottom of a four-run third inning. The Bears couldn't dig out of the early hole, finishing the game 14-6 in the sixth inning.
The Bears turned the tables in Game 2, scoring five runs in the top of the first inning against the Islanders. With two outs, junior Mikayla Duffy and Wilkinson hit back-to-back home runs. A two-RBI double from freshman Adeline Coldiron of Loveland gave the Bears an even bigger cushion.
After contributing on the offensive side, Wilkinson pitched a complete game for the Bears. The Bears added another run in the fourth inning to build a 6-0 lead. Wilkinson allowed just three runs on the day, and one was unearned. To cap off her day, Wilkinson hit another homer to seal the win.
Northern Colorado hits the field again at 3:30 p.m. today against tournament host New Mexico State and again at 8:15 p.m. against Iowa State.
UNC baseball drops opener
Huntsville, texas
The University of Northern Colorado opened its 2014 season with a 5-3 defeat at the Sam Houston State University on Friday.
The Bears trailed 4-1 after five innings but tightened the game with a two-run sixth. Brandon Vaughn went 2 for 4 with a run, and Ben Netzel drove in two runs and had a triple. Jake Ekman also had two hits.
Chris Hammer pitched seven innings, giving up three earned runs and striking out four.
Eagles fall in shootout against Utah
Utah converted on three of four shootout chances to beat the Colorado Eagles 4-3 on Friday night at the Budweiser Events Center.
Mathieu Aubin, Jamie MacQueen and Vinny Scarsella put in shootout goals. Kyle Kraemer and Jonathan Parker scored for Colorado, but Mark Nemec failed on the Eagles' final attempt, ending the game.
The Eagles led 3-1 in the second after Kraemer scored, but Danick Paquette made it 3-2 just 17 seconds left. Brent Gwidt tied the game with less than 5 minutes to go in the game.
Marc Cheverie made 22 saves for Colorado.
Darren Sharper charged with rape
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office says former NFL defensive back Darren Sharper has been charged with drugging and raping two women.
A district attorney's statement says Sharper will be arraigned Friday on two counts of rape by use of drugs, four counts of furnishing a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance.
The felony case involves alleged incidents in October and January. Prosecutors say Sharper met women at a West Hollywood nightclub, invited them to a party but stopped at his hotel room, where the crimes are alleged to have occurred.
Sharper was arrested Jan. 17 and released on $200,000 bail.
Prosecutors will seek to raise his bail to $10 million because the Miami, Fla., resident faces similar investigations elsewhere.
Inquiry says 2 others joined Incognito in harassment of Jonathan Martin
Two Miami Dolphins offensive linemen joined Richie Incognito in bullying Jonathan Martin, and at least one other player and an assistant trainer were also targets of the vicious taunts and racist insults, according to a report ordered by the NFL.
Lawyer Ted Wells released the report Friday, saying guard John Jerry and center Mike Pouncey followed Incognito's lead in harassing Martin, who left the team in October. They threatened to rape his sister, called him a long list of slurs and bullied him for not being "black enough."
Martin is biracial, Incognito is white, and Jerry and Pouncey are black.
Martin's agent Kenneth Zuckerman said his client feels "vindicated" by the report.

Having insurance is very important. You can have many different types of insurance. Medical, Dental, Life, Homeowners to name a few. Everyone needs some kind of insurance because you never know what could happen. When you are looking at what kinds of benefits your family needs you should make a list of different things you want. Are you done having children? You don't need maternity coverage. How much life insurance would you like to leave to your family? There are some plans that just cover your expenses and others that really help provide in the event of your death. This is a decision you shouldn't make without research.
Almost 2/3 of workers go on autopilot when it's time to renew their benefits in the Fall, which could mean missing out financially. MetLife, the largest U.S. life insurer, is hosting a YouTube campaign series called "Stop. Drop. Enroll." This video series is designed to help consumers get the most of their employer-provided benefits, including medical and dental–and the protection it can provide for families and kids. MetLife is encouraging employees to STOP.WATCH.ENROLL this seasons benefits. Most employers' auto enroll during benefits season. This year they are encouraging you to stop the routine. Watch educational videos to learn more about your options. Then, enroll in the right benefits that can help you build the financial security you need.
Did you know that Americans on average only spend twenty minutes a year evaluating their benefits including medical. The Average American spends 16,020 minutes watching TV. We also spend 7,260 minutes a year on Social Media. I think you could spend 60 minutes less watching TV and 60 minutes less on Social Media and use that time productively on your insurance. If something happens to you will your TV or Social Media take care of you or your family? Be sure to evaluate your plans every year. Our circumstances change. We get married, have children, move, and grow older. Only 46% of people who are eligible for insurance changes actually make them. That leaves a lot of consumers that miss out. Employees say that 61% of them have gone through a big life changing event in the last year that may alter their insurance needs.
Be sure to watch the video above, and then let me know if you made any changes to your insurance plan this season! Did you have any life events or milestones that prompted a change?
This is a sponsored post, but as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Insurance is so important to have. It gives my family peace in mind knowing that we won't go into a huge amount of debt over medical issues. So many unexpecteds in life…it's good to be prepared!

Numbers For Maryland's Marriage-Equality Referendum Look Good
Good As You's Jeremy Hooper is claiming early poll results for Question 6, the referendum in Maryland to codify marriage-equality legislation passed in the Legislature last year, look good for our side.
Shortly before 9pm, Hooper tweeted "Early voting for MD's Question 6: 222,748 to 193,354 (equality) vs 193.354 (discrimination."
Hooper didn't say how he came by those numbers—or how relevant they were in a state of some 5.8 million—but we choose to be encouraged by them nonetheless.

Actor teams up with musicians to put lyrics on record
(From left) Actor Gordon Pinsent, and musicians Travis Good of The Sadies and Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo have put some of Pinsent's writings on an album with the accompaniment of music. — Submitted photo
Gordon Pinsent's got hastily-scrawled lyrics on bits of paper stuffed in drawers; poems scribbled on crumpled napkins shoved in boxes here and there and forgotten about.
The best part of life is the stuff you have to go and dig out, he says.
When Travis Good of The Sadies came calling, Pinsent wasn't shy about digging out some of his writings — leading him on a new career twist he says wasn't at all expected.
It was during the filming of producer Barbara Doran's documentary "Gordon Pinsent: Still Rowdy After All These Years" that cinematographer Mike Bolland caught Pinsent launch into a lyric he had written called "She's Gone Again."
It was no big deal, Pinsent insists, just something he sometimes does, but Bolland was interested.
"He said, 'Have you ever done anything with that?' and I said no, not really, I just throw them in a box from time to time," Pinsent, 81, explains. "He brought over Travis Good and I gave him one of these and then I gave him another and we sat there and we drank a lot of beer. Before he left, he had eight of them that I sort of rounded up from somewhere."
Good shared Pinsent's lyrics with friend Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo, and the pair turned the writings into songs.
"The first one I looked at, it just sort of wrote itself," Keelor explains. "He's got such a good sense of beat, and within an hour we had our first song. His first song had a grittiness to it that I wouldn't have expected from Gordon Pinsent. It's called 'Night Light' and it's sort of an urban song. This one was very Toronto-centric and I sort of understood it very well. I think it's an older poem for him, and it's a poem dealing with him first coming to Toronto and hanging out with the sort of hipster crowd in Toronto at the time."
Keelor and Good brought their compositions back to Pinsent, who says he "jumped up and down" with excitement over them, and gave the musicians a few more poems — 11 in total.
The resulting songs make up "Down and Out in Upalong," a collaborative album by the trio, recorded in Keelor's home studio with Keelor and Good performing the music and Pinsent reciting. The original plan was to get Pinsent in to read a couple of the poems to be added on the record as bonus tracks; his recitations were so enthralling, however, that he was made an equal part of the album. The first half of the record is music; the second half is Pinsent performing spoken word.
Pinsent's content is varied: there are lyrics devoted to Newfoundland, telling stories of friends and adventure, and of love.
I hear her through the morning
Riding waves of music's ocean
Breakfasting with my emotion
Mindful of the tune she plays
Upon my heart, into my day
To swell my world, to cool my way
To teach love's majesty again
Make distant all existing harm
I praise the miracle of Charm.
"Charm" is Charmion King, Pinsent's wife of 44 years, who passed away in 2007.
"There's a great one that I love called 'Seagrass'— it's a dead fisherman singing to his wife, Clara. He's sitting on the bottom of the ocean, singing to his beloved. I love that song," says Keelor. "Then there's the song called 'Peter Easton,' the last of the North American pirates.
"'Easy Ridge' is about (Pinsent), Marlon Brando and Wally Cox going for a hike in the canyons around Hollywood. He's got this great story about him and Wally and Marlon and he had a sort of ongoing relationship with Marlon. They were buddies. It's quite a trio."
Pinsent, Keelor and Good have been doing a smattering of live shows to accompany the record, and will perform together at the St. John's Arts and Culture Centre June 25.
Pinsent — who has seen a sort of career resurgence in the past few years, appearing in the film "Away From Her" as well as on TV series such as CBC's "Republic of Doyle," and who has an autobiography coming out in the fall — says he's treating "Down and Out in Upalong" as a kind of novelty, for now. Neither he nor Keelor nor Good has any idea where it will all lead, he says.
"For me, it's always been, 'What's next? Where am I taking this?'" Pinsent told The Telegram. "Especially at this time of life now, I'm looking for material and looking to be in things that are a little different than other things that I've done. I've always treated it like the best ideas can happen tomorrow. It's important to think that way, and I see nothing wrong with it."
Record or not, Pinsent has absolutely no intention of retiring. Ever.
"I've always thought that if, in fact, there are better things, and things out there to create, why stop? I'm very keen on that," he explains. "I've been quite often asked my favourite thing, and I have honestly said what's been said by many people — my next thing is my most favourite thing. If I see something start to light up, then I'll be there."
Pinsent says he's game for doing a followup record with Keelor and Good, if all goes well.
Keelor's up for it, too.
"If Christopher Plummer doesn't get to us first," he says, laughing.
Tickets for Pinsent, Keelor and Good's "Down and Out in Upalong" show in St. John's are $35 (including tax and surcharge) and are available at the Arts and Culture Centre box office, by calling 729-3900 or online at www.artsandculturecentre.com.

Shared laughter creates a bond of friendships. When people laugh together, they cease to be young and old, teacher and pupils, worker and boss. They become a single group of human beings. ~W. Lee Grant
One night, a friend and I were coming out of Target when we noticed two guys trying to get into a car. They had locked themselves out of their car and being the good Samaritans that we are we offered to help. On an island of light in the vacant parking lot we plied a bent coat hanger to the task at hand, but our efforts were in vain.
Our hope dwindling, we heard a sound, "rup-pup-pup-bang", repeating and drawing closer. Out of the darkness appeared a battered woody station wagon, trailing smoke as if on fire. As vehicle stuttered to a halt, the first thing we noticed was all the refuge crammed high above the windows. Second, the immense man that separated himself from it.
His t-shirt covered most of him, and ash for the dead cigar in his mouth covered the rest. He strode to the locked car and announced his arrival with "Locked yerself out of your car." As he bent to inspect the situation, the inch of ash on the end of his cigar crushed against the window and mushroomed, but he did not notice.
Like a wise old doctor, he bumped his hip against the door while swiping the coat hanger and pronounce, "Sometimes you just gotta jigga (jiggle?) little." The door popped open. The man returned to his chariot and backfired all the way across the parking lot, leaving the four of us agape.
True story. One of the funniest things that ever happened to me.
So let's be human beings together. Laugh.
Tell me your funny story.

EUGENE, Ore. -- For different reasons, Oregon and Michigan want to put their last game behind them.
The Ducks, displaying a nearly impenetrable rushing defense, upset Michigan and its celebrated offense 31-27 Saturday.
As a result, Oregon (4-0) jumped from No. 22 to 10th in the rankings, while Michigan (3-1) dropped from third to No. 11.
Ducks coach Mike Bellotti, who called the victory the biggest non-conference win of his career, said his team must now turn toward next week's Pacific-10 Conference opponent, No. 21 Washington State.
"We'll celebrate for maybe 24 hours, maybe not, and then we're going to look ahead and see what it is we need to do for the next game," Bellotti said.
While the Ducks might already be moving on, defensive end Igor Olshansky hopes everyone else remembers this one.
"We expect national recognition and respect now," he said.
The Wolverines, meanwhile, move on to host Indiana next Saturday.
"Michigan will be back, that's a guarantee," Wolverine defensive end Larry Stevens said. "There are guys with their heads down, but we'll pick them up. We will be back."
Saturday's game was dominated by Oregon's defense.
The Ducks held Michigan's Chris Perry, the nation's leading rusher going into the game, to just 26 yards. Michigan's rushing offense, which averaged more than 307 yards through its first three games, lost three yards on 19 carries.
Jason Fife, half of Oregon's quarterback tandem with Kellen Clemens, ran for one touchdown, and tailback Terrence Whitehead rushed for another before 59,023 fans, the largest crowd in Autzen Stadium's history.
The Ducks also got a 61-yard punt return from Steven Moore and Jordan Carey and recovered a fumble in the end zone.
"We have no excuses. We just made too many mistakes to win the game," Michigan's coach Lloyd Carr said.
Michigan was the highest ranked non-conference opponent that the Ducks have beaten at home.
Michigan, making its first road trip of the season, put on the pressure in the second half and cut its deficit with John Navarre's 36-yard TD pass to Steve Breaston with 2:18 left, but couldn't get any closer.
"Our goal is still the national championship," Wolverines wide receiver Braylon Edwards said. "I've seen teams go to the national championship with one loss - and we're going to get there."
Navarre completed 28 of 55 passes for 360 yards and three touchdowns - throwing for three scores in the second half.
Clemens, who started for Oregon, was 15-of-23 for 160 yards, while Fife was 5-of-8 for 93 yards. For the fourth straight game, the pair did not throw an interception.
Michigan, a perennial Big Ten force, authoritatively shut down Notre Dame 38-0 at home before facing the Ducks. But the Wolverines have lost four straight road openers.
The Ducks, who routed Arizona 48-10 to jump into the Top 25 last week, are 20-0 in non-conference play at Autzen under Bellotti.
"It was everything you dream of as a kid. You're 5 or 6, you're a senior in high school, everything you dream of, today was it. It was unbelievable," Clemens said about the victory.
That said, Oregon's starting QB was already looking ahead.
"We go back to the Pac-10 now," he said. "This was a huge win but we need to come out and stay fired up and continue to play well."

How can you eat healthy on a budget? Or even just reasonable? Well, the answer is that you have to work at it.
Sadly, we all know that junk, processed foods cost far less than fresh, healthy foods. Why? Packaging and time. The vendors can make processed food last a long time on the grocery shelf. They get more money for their time when they can store the food for long periods without worry of it all going bad.
Making a determination to eat healthy takes an emotional commitment. But it doesn't have to take a financial commitment if you work hard to cut corners without skimping on health.
These ideas aren't new. And they aren't mind-blowing revelations, but sometimes we need to be reminded.
1. Don't shop on an empty stomach. Food looks even more tempting when you are hungry. I'm tempted to purchase things I don't need when I'm really hungry. Most times when you find me shopping you find me with a healthy snack and a diet soda or bottle of water in the front of my buggy. That way I can snack on almonds or some healthy dark chocolate while shopping and I'm not nearly so tempted to grab a snack that will be harmful to my healthier diet.
2. Stay away from the center of the store. You know that area I'm talking about. Where the chips and processed food boxes are. You'll be tempted to include those items in with your healthy items if you buzz down those aisles and therefore be spending more.
3. Look for sales on fresh fruits and vegetables. Sometimes you can be blessed with a store that just bought something in bulk and will pass the savings on to you.
4. Buy what's in season. If you buy in season, the prices go down dramatically. If you buy out of season, you are paying for some hefty quick ship and storage fees.
5. Choose a large bag of fruit instead of hand picking the larger pricier fruits. You'll also find that in the large bags the fruits are smaller and in much healthier portions. The fruits you hand pick are generally much larger and so they are usually larger than your portion should be.
6. Buy generic and store brands when available. I learned a long time ago that the generic is so similar to the bigger brands that my family rarely notices any difference.
7. Buy frozen. This allows you to stock up on items that are on sale and not have to worry about finding things in season. Freezing is a good alternative if you are buying in bulk some fresh items that will go bad quickly. Freeze what you can.
8. I know I'm going to ruffle some feathers here, but skip organic unless the price is simply amazing. There are certainly some benefits to buying organic food, but speaking on a general basis the nutritional content is the same in conventional foods and in organic. Some people have a real issue with organic only due to the chemicals and such, but most of what I read says that it's a very limited hazard in most cases. Organic is great if that's your thing, but you have to realize that most times you will spend a great deal more with that decision.
9. Make your own snacks. There is a huge market right now for 100 calorie snacks. If you check the labels they may actually be 100 calories, but no where near healthy. I suggest purchasing some generic brand small zipper bags and making your own snack bags. This way you can easily grab a snack without having to worry about it being unhealthy. This also allows you to buy in larger quantities which then allow for some savings in $$.
10. Avoid exotic, pricey ingredients. And make substitutions when you can. For example last week at a Publix store, there were red bell peppers for $3.99 a pound. You read right. $3.99. You could purchase a green pepper for $1.79 a pound. Yes, the pepper will taste a bit different. It will taste greener (peppers change from green to other colors as they ripen). But for that amount of savings, it's worth the change of ingredient.
The key is being smart and thinking healthy. I'm currently on an effort to use more coupons for other things such as household cleaning items and paper products. I want to save as much as I can on those items to help me have more money for healthy foods.
Eating healthy on a budget can be tricky, but it can be done.

This time around, the St. Edmond girls basketball team had no reasons to celebrate.
Opening postseason play Tuesday night, the 13th-ranked Gaels (19-3 overall) were ousted by Carroll Kuemper, 66-56, in a hard-fought Class 2A, Region 2 quarterfinal at the SEHS gym.
With the their sixth straight victory, the Knights (16-7) avenged an earlier 46-43 road setback to North Central Conference co-champion St. Edmond.
"We figured it would probably be another real tight game just like before (back on Jan. 26)," SEHS head coach Scott Messerly said. "I was proud, though, of how our girls battled all the way until the end. We have nothing to be ashamed of coming up a little short (last evening) against a very good Kuemper team."
Anna Yung, a sophomore guard, supplied a bright spot for the Gaels with 23 points on 8-for-13 shooting before fouling out in the waning moments.
Senior center Hannah Lentsch also wrapped up her SEHS career in style with a double-double, contributing 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Fact Box
Carroll Kuemper - Kierstyn Bauer 3-8 3-4 12, Lexi Albrecht 6-15 18-19 31, Hannah Dentlinger 1-3 1-2 3, Katie Tigges 1-4 4-4 7, Maria Dentlinger 1-3 1-2 3, Paige Overmohle 3-3 4-4 10, Courtney Snyder 0-0 0-0 0, Abby Derner 0-0 0-0 0, Brandi Leverington 0-0 0-0 0. Totals: 15-36 31-35 66.
St. Edmond - Maddie McCarville 1-4 2-2 4, Jaci Stumpf 2-8 0-2 4, Anna Yung 8-13 2-2 23, Hannah Lentsch 5-8 4-7 14, Alli Huss 2-17 4-4 9, Brigid Hanley 0-3 0-0 0, Madeline Baldwin 1-1 0-0 2, Clare Flattery 0-0 0-0 0, Drue Specht 0-1 0-0 0. Totals: 19-55 12-17 56.
Quarter scores: Carroll Kuemper led 15-7, 29-23, St. Edmond led 38-36. Three-point goals: Carroll Kuemper 5-15 (Bauer 3-6, Albrecht 1-4, Tigges 1-4, M. Dentlinger 0-1); St. Edmond 6-21 (McCarville 0-2, Stumpf 0-3, Yung 5-7, Huss 1-7, Hanley 0-2). Total rebounds: Carroll Kuemper 29, St. Edmond 29. Turnovers: Carroll Kuemper 19, St. Edmond 15. Total fouls: Carroll Kuemper 20, St. Edmond 25. Fouled out: Huss, Yung.
"Anna hit some huge shots that kept us in the game, but she had to be tired playing so many minutes," said Messerly. "I thought Hannah had probably the best game she's ever played, too. She's been a very good leader for us and will definitely be missed next year."
Down by 15 points with 1:41 left in the second quarter, St. Edmond closed out the first half on a spirited 11-2 run to stay within striking distance. Still riding a wave of momentum, the Gaels then gained their first lead of the contest by outscoring the Knights 15-7 over the next eight minutes.
SEHS, which went scoreless for the first 5:11 of the game, was ultimately unable to overcome a rocky 3-for-15 start from the field.
"Our girls just couldn't get their shots to fall early on and then again late," Messerly said. "I thought the big key was (sophomore point guard Jaci) Stumpf sitting so much with foul trouble (Stumpf was whistled for a pair of fouls in the first two minutes), which really hurt us defensively."
Iowa State signee Lexi Albrecht poured in a career-high 31 points for Kuemper - with 23 of those coming in the fourth quarter during a 30-18 burst by the visitors. Albrecht, a 5-foot-10 guard, finished 18-for-19 from the charity stripe, including a perfect 14 of 14 down the stretch. In their previous meeting this season, Albrecht was held to just seven points on 1-for-11 shooting.
"Albrecht is an excellent player, and she was the difference (Tuesday)," said Messerly. "We did everything we could defensively to slow her down, but she really took over in that fourth quarter."
Kierstyn Bauer (12) and Paige Overmohle (10) were the other offensive catalysts for the Knights, who snapped St. Edmond's seven-game winning streak. Kuemper, which went 31 of 35 at the free-throw line, made just 15 field goals compared to 19 for St. Edmond.
Up next for the Knights is a 2A, Region 2 semifinal matchup with No. 7 Panorama (21-2) on Friday at 7 p.m. in Ogden.

Kenmore community comes together to remember Sarah Paulson
It was Sarah Paulson's big smile and the contagious love of life her family and friends that was remembered the most during a candlelight vigil Monday night.
Around 300 people stood in a circle with lit candles, praying and embracing each other at Rhododendron Park in Kenmore. There was a moment of silence then an invitation for attendees to come to the center of the circle and say something about Paulson.
"She always had a huge smile on her face and gave everyone lots of hugs," said Mary-Alyce Burleigh, a friend and former Kirkland mayor. "She had the greatest spirit of anyone I've ever known."
Paulson was walking in the crosswalk on Juanita Drive Northeast and NE 160 St. in Kenmore Friday morning when she was hit by a car driven by a 53-year-old Kirkland man. The Kenmore resident passed away from her injuries at Harborview Hospital later that day.
Detectives said they do not believe alcohol or drugs are a factor. The man from Kirkland was arrested and booked into the King County Jail for Felony Hit and Run.
"Sarah was blessed with so many lovely family and friends, just as we were blessed with a young life full of enthusiasm, love and kindness,"said Sarah Frostad Hudkins, a family friend. "I know she was looking down on us with a huge smile and wrapping her arms around each of us with a big hug."
Paulson was in her 20s and graduated from Ingelmoor High School in 2011. She was enrolled in the Occupational and Life Skills program at Bellevue College, which is an innovative 90-credit associate degree program. It gives adults with cognitive disabilities the opportunity to acquire an accredited college degree.
"Sarah was a leader among the students, everyone just loved her," said Marci Muhlestein, program director. "She always was a positive person. Her favorite thing to say was 'no excuses;' she was determined to be successful no matter what."
Paulson was in her third year at the college and had one year left. She was on her way to graduating with honors and wanted to be a costume designer or attendant for Broadway stars.
"She had such an impact here that we planned to have a memorial for her this Thursday and unfortunately had to turn some people away because it was so full," Muhlestein said.
At the memorial, students will pick a characteristic of Paulson they appreciated the most and write it on a piece of paper to create a chain.
"Sarah was an amazing, bright spirit," said Larry Morris, family friend. "Although you could see in her face that life wasn't easy, she never complained. She always made everyone around her feel good."
In addition to school, Paulson was involved in many extracurricular activities including the Special Olympics and the Northshore Wranglers.
"If you just look around here tonight you see all different kinds of people here," Burleigh said. "She was always on the move, involved in so many things and had so many different kinds of friends."
Janet Jones knew her since Paulson was five years old.
"She was always so full of love," Jones said. "She was so energetic and happy. Sarah made everyone around her feel good."
She and Samantha Bush were friends and attended Ingelmoor together.
"We had lunch together at least every Friday of my senior year," Bush said. "I picture her now, excitedly waving at me in the halls and running up to hug me between classes. She made everything fun. She was real bright spot in my day, every day."
Paulson's friend Alan Bridgeford played "Amazing Grace" and "Lean on Me" on his accordion while the crowd sang along.
"I loved Sarah," Bridgeford said. "She stayed with me at Children's Hospital and was a great friend."
A memorial for Paulson appeared over the weekend on the northeast corner of the intersection. Dozens of flowers surround a photo of Paulson.

It's the weekend, and while this is usually Shelby's time to post crazy random things on the internet I'm going to take a turn this week. Rhythm Heaven Fever is set to hit North America early next year. If you haven't paid any attention to this game I think you should check it out. It's an insane mix of music, hitting buttons in time with the music and funny cartoons all mixed together. The only releases in the series have so far been on handhelds, but the Wii is finally getting the game as well. I think this is one you should really pay attention to for next year. It's no Skyward Sword in terms of depth, but its got it beat in terms of sheer fun.
This is a remix of one of the mini-games that's featured in the title where a wrestler is being interviewed and will strike poses to the news reporters in the audience. Now, though it's been changed to feature Terry Crews, who's been in a number of movies as well as starring in some Old Spice Commercials. Enjoy.

~World Map~
Monsters: Berserkers, Basilisks
You'll land on a peninsula. In the forest right behind you, you'll find a Healing Copse. You don't really need it right away, since all of your characters have been automatically healed after your run-in with Bahamuth, but for future reference.
A dwarf there will tell you really cryptically that, in order to find Tozus, you need to cast Mini on everyone in your party (and he'll give you Mini. You know, in case you somehow lost it in the five seconds since Desch gave it to you). By now, your mages should be able to do level 2 magic, so head south.
Tozus is somewhere in this forest, so go ahead and cast Mini and start searching. Seriously, this place is a pain in the ass to find, but it's somewhere in the east-southeastern corner, near where the mountains begin. At least you gain a few levels looking for it.
(Note: Attacks are useless when you're in Mini-mode [attack and defense are either 1 or 0], so all you'll be able to do is cast spells. That's why I started off with so many mages in my party.
Double Note: Desch is really cool. As in useful cool. He knows Thundara, which is a level 3 magic spell, and can do pretty good damage with his sword. However, he rarely helps.)
For sale: Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Sleep, Poison, Blind, Aero, Antidotes, Potions, Eye Drops, Gnomish Bread
Items: Mythril Bracers, Cura, Fira, Fire Staff, Phoenix Down (x2)
I wouldn't talk to the people walking around Tozus if I were you. They won't tell you anything useful and they're either creepy, speaking in rhyme, or rude.
When you get into Tozus, the little path goes straight to a house. Walk on in and you'll get Mythril Bracers, Cura, Fira, and a Fire Staff. Cura and Fira are level 3 spells (Cura is kind of useless unless you're practically dying, by Fira is powerful and will be useful later. Naturally, nearly all spells are useful, but Fira helps especially) and the Fire Staff apparently casts Fire (I've never seen it happen, but whatever you say, SquareEnix). Oh yeah, there's also a sick guy. If you go up to him, you find out he's Doctor Shelco and in need of an antidote. He'll get better right away and open up a path for you (similar to Cid in Canaan, except not as awesome. Although you do get TWO Phoenix Downs [*heavenly choir*]).
But don't leave just yet, since there's shopping to do...
The magic shop sells Thunder, which is a useful level 2 spell that you'll need later, when you have the Enterprise. Plus, it's nice to burn stuff. (Just kidding.)
There aren't any armor or weapon shops in Tozus because of that whole thing I explained earlier. However, there is an inn and a...tea shop? that sells Gnomish Bread (you can buy some if you want; it'll help you find towns, but it isn't absolutely required. The people in the tea shop explain what it does extremely vaguely). These (and the magic shop) are to the south of where you entered.
Now you can go to the Tozus Tunnel.
~Tozus Tunnel~
Monsters: Leprechauns, Darkfaces (I hate these things)
The viewpoint for this dungeon type thing is rather annoying (in my opinion), because you can only see a fork when you're coming right up on it (no overhead view for you). Follow the path left and up the stairs. Left again, up the stairs. And you're out.
To the north, you'll see a cave (specifically, a mountain with a hole in it). What are you waiting for? Go check it out!
~Vikings' Cove~
For Sale: Potions, Eye Drops, Antidotes, Gold Needle, Maiden's Kisses (that sounds weird), Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Blind, Poison, Mini.
Items: Spark Dagger, Viking Axe, 3000 gil
Run along the path and suddenly all these giant people will appear. Or rather, normal-sized people and you're simply miniscule. Talk to them and you'll discover something terrible has happened; a Nepto sea dragon has appeared and destroyed all their ships but one: the Enterprise. Their problems can wait for a minute, though: After passing the viking in the bed who's "dreaming of sailing," run straight across to that weird shaped wall of the cave. Go south through a secret passage and steal a Spark Dagger. Now that they've "paid" for assitance, you can talk to everyone else.
The Vikings at the table will be moaning, but the one closest to the door will says something about the Nepto Temple. Go through the door for an inn and magic shop of sorts.
Up the stairs, you'll find Moggle and more Vikings to your right. The one closest to the cannon (you can launch cannonballs into the water by pressing "A" [teehee]) will tell you that "pops" is downstairs behind you and complaing about men. The man above her will praise the Enterprise. Yeah, yeah. Talk to King Viking man (he has a blue stripe on his helmet). He'll tell you that he hasn't had much to do since the dragon appeared, but if you manage (pfft, manage? You're Warriors of Light!) to defeat the dragon, the Enterprise is yours. Viking's honor. If you come back.
His wife tells you not to go on the boat, since the dragon attacks anything moving in the water by the cape. (She's right. If you try to go on the boat without going to Nepto Temple, you'll die.)
Before you skidaddle, go all the way left and you'll find another secret passage. Apparently, the Viking in there isn't hiding (yes, he is), but ignore him and go down the stairs. The Viking in green in the same room as the treasure chests will be the most useful yet; Nepto Temple is north. In the chests are a Viking Axe and 3000 gil. To the right is a not magical shiny blue lake.
You're pretty much done here. You can equip your new weapons if you'd like, but they won't do you much good right now.
Go north and then left until you get to the Pantheon. I mean Nepto Temple.

The HTC One X gets a surprise upgrade - is the HTC One X + now good enough to edge past the Samsung Galaxy S3?
The HTC One X+ is a revamped version of the HTC One X, bringing with it a better processor, 64GB of storage and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.
HTC One X+: Size and build
The HTC One X+ is the same size at the HTC One X. That means it's a halfway house between the iPhone 5 and the, larger, Samsung Galaxy S3 with a 5-inch screen over this 4.7-inch display. You'll also notice the black and red rubberized surround rather than a hard plastic casing.
The Micro USB charge point is at the top left which is awkward, as is the slighting protruding camera and iPhone 5-style SIM slot. There's no MicroSD socket, meaning the unibody design looks slick - the speaker and volume rocker are discreet and, for fashionistas, the black on red design will be a perfect match for your Beats Solo headphones.
HTC One X +: Features
The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS is designed for powerful smartphones and it's great to see it pre-installed on the HTC One X+. There's a quad core A9 chip under the bonnet, backed by a NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip for graphic duties and 1GB of RAM. The 64GB of storage is welcome and makes up for the lack of MicroSD card storage options.
There's NFC too, though, curiously, no 4G skills, so you'll need to be confident that faster internet isn't for you when upgrading. The camera is an 8 megapixel model with the usual panorama and HDR options.
HTC One X+: Screen
A 4.7 inch display feels large against an iPhone 5 and the 312 pixels per inch resolution is just behind the class leaders - the iPhone 5 clocks in at 326 PPI while the Galaxy S3 hits 330 PPI.
Will you see the difference? No, the display is excellent but the screen sensitivity is slightly behind both rivals. Overall, it offers a great sense of colour, depth and little reflection - the screen is particularly rugged too.
HTC One X+: Performance
The HTC One X+ is a great machine for games and the DLNA function means it's quick and easy to play games on a smart TV and throw 1080P video to the same screen. Power users may miss the 5-inch screen of the Galaxy S3 to take advantage of such awesome processing power however.
It's one of the fastest smartphones on the block. The AnTuTu Benchmark app gives the HTC One X+ a blistering score of 13425 against 12071 for the Galaxy S3. During our performance test, the HTC One X+ became very hot - the rubber is a better conductor for heat than the traditional casing.
Overall, you'll struggle to find a phone that embarasses the HTC One X + in pure performance terms. In addition, call quality was clear, reception good and even the internal speaker is better than rivals. The supplied headphones are not Beats earphones, however, so we'd suggest spending a little more on a decent pair.
The 8 megapixel camera is fast (you can snap while shooting video) though we miss a dedicated physical button for quick shots. In terms of clarity and low light capture, it can't quite match the iPhone 5 but there's plenty of Android options to keep photo fans happy.
HTC One X+: Battery
The battery has been upgraded from 1800mAh to 2100mAh but, really, the pure processing demands and the large screen still mean the HTC One X+ only manages a day of use.
There are smaller smartphones with similar sized batteries and lower power demands such as the Motorola Razr i, for example, which leaves us disappointed that the battery isn't bigger. The battery life if the only real disappointment in an otherwise impressive spec.
HTC One X+: Verdict
The HTC One X+ is a stunning Android phone which, on paper, beats the Samsung Galaxy S3 in many ways - it's faster, more rugged and - arguably - has a better design and classic unibody style which remains a modern classic.
However, we think power users will demand a bigger screen and better battery however and these seemingly minor concerns prove to be niggles in an otherwise smartphone heavyweight...
