Apple has completed work on an online music storage service and is set to launch it ahead of Google, whose own music efforts have stalled, according to several people familiar with both companies' plans. The sources revealed that Apple's plans will allow iTunes customers to store their songs on a remote server, and then access them from wherever they have an Internet connection and that Apple has yet to sign any new licenses for the service and major music labels are hoping to secure deals before the service is launched. Amazon.com launched a music locker service earlier in April without new licensing agreements leading to threats of legal action from some music companies.
Tech wrap: Yahoo's CEO-in-waiting?
New Yahoo board member Akamai President David Kenny is the obvious choice to replace struggling CEO Carol Bartz, writes The Wall Street Journal's Kara Swisher. Kenny is smooth and well-liked, has deep advertising experience, has a long relationship with Yahoo and its co-founder Jerry Yang and has tech cred as a leader of one of the Internet's most important infrastructure companies, regularly in contact with media giants, ad networks and video providers that are Akamai's clients, Swisher argues.
Tech wrap: Print publisher bets the ranch on apps
Successful childrens' books publisher Nicholas Callaway believes paper is dead and that digital has come of age, writes Mark Egan. But Callaway isn't worried that big publishing houses will eat his lunch. "They don't understand the new medium, they don't have the rights, they don't know how to create the product and they don't know how to get it out to the world," Callaway told Egan. January e-book sales more than doubled from the same month a year earlier, rising 116 percent to $69.9 million, according to the Association of American Publishers. That topped sales of hardcover books, which fell 11 percent from January 2010 to $49.1 million.
Tech wrap: Microsoft cries foul
The hunted became the hunter when Microsoft filed its first-ever complaint to antitrust regulators, claiming that Google thwarts Internet search competition. Thomas Vinje, who led a coalition that won EU fines against Microsoft said the software maker "has learned from its own unpleasant experiences how to cause maximum disruption for its competitors via competition law". Google controls over 90 percent of the Internet search advertising market in Europe, well ahead of Microsoft's Bing. And browsers such as Firefox and Google's Chrome have eaten away at the market lead by Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Let's try this again, Bob.
"Quite a few years ago, I read a business book and I remember one of the things it talked about was people saying I wish I could do what they are doing, I wish I could do something like that, or I wish I could start my own business like they did.
spike machine-b.jpg The spike machine in operation, sent to Bob Crowe by his great aunt.
"And what the book said after that was, don't just talk about things or say I wish, get up and do something about.
"I get inspired by some of the articles I read about how much individuals of our past did by just getting involved.
"Does anyone know the name Francis Hopkinson?
"If not, you should, because he is the person that designed your national symbol, the American flag.
"The reason I bring up his name is if you visit his grave in the Christ Church Cemetery at 5th and Arch in Philadelphia you will see a plaque with some of the great things this man did in his lifetime.
"Truly amazing.
"His plaque reads as follows, 'Signer Of The Declaration Of Independence, Sept. 21,1737-May 9,1791, Patrio, Jurist, Essayist, Churchman, Member Of The Continental Congress of 1776, Provincial Councilor of New Jersey, Signer Of The Declaration, Chairman Of The Continental Navy Board, Designer Of The American Flag, First Native American Composer Of Songs, Member Of American Philosophical Societ, Vestryman And Organist Of Christ Church, Philadelphia, A Reorganizer Of The Post Revolutionary Church, Administrator Of The School For Negroes, and The First Judge Of The District Court In And For Pennsylvania District.
"Just a very impressive resume, wouldn't you say?
"Just one man did all this.
"Just think if he said, 'I just wish I could to what they are doing instead of going ahead and doing it.'
"I have never been one to be afraid of risk or just talk about things and at least not try to do it.
"So I have decided to do something about preserving the Spike Machine.
"I got an email a few days ago from Marlene Blew, my grandfather's sister, saying she had a picture postcard taken by Harvey Porch around 1912 of her great grandfather Frances S. Woodruff standing next to the spike machine.
"I told Marlene that I was just thinking about doing something about preserving the spike machine and she gave me a copy of the picture postcard for this article.
"On Saturday, the 13, I talked to Brent Hankins of H.H. Hankins & Bro. Lumber Co.
"I asked Brent if I could raise half the money for the materials if H.H. Hankins & Bro. Lumber Co. would donate the other half and, with no surprise to me, Brent said yes.
"If you look at the history of this company, you will see a very long list of what this company and family has done for Bridgeton and its history.
"We talked about how to work out the money part and Brent suggested talking to the Rotary Club.
"So I called Carolyn Heckman to ask if she could help me with this.
"Carolyn said she would run it by the board of the Lunch Rotary Club and get back to me, but she also said she did not think this would be a problem because this is the kind of thing they like to get involved in.
"Just a bit of information on the last time it had a roof over it.
"The Rotary Club did that project in 1976.
"My plan is to raise the money by donations, which will be made out to the Bridgeton Rotary Club Foundation Spike Machine account, as they will be a part of this project and the donation will be tax deductible.
"I want to raise enough money to enclose the machine from the weather and also put a plaque up with a brief history of the machine, also.
"If we raise more than we need, it will be kept in a separate account by the Bridgeton Rotary Club for other history preservation projects.
"Just in case you were wondering why I decided to do this preservation project, it is because I love history, and preserving it.
"I work with the Bridgeton History Group in trying to preserve our history documents, pictures, and what ever other history items we come across, as well as doing research on our history.
"I am the president of the West Jersey Museum of Art and History (a work in progress, but moving forward) that will house our history collection.
"After we raise the money, the next thing is to build the enclosure.
"So that will take some carpenters, which I am no.
"So I will just have to do the manual labor, and ask if there are any carpenters that would like to donate their skills to help with this project.
"According to the picture postcard, the Spike Machine was used between 1861 and 1898, and it was a water-powered machine.
"When we get the Spike Machine enclosed, the plaque will have more of the history on it.
"I spoke to Dean Dellaquila about putting an enclosure around the spike machine at no expense to the city, and Dean said that if he had the money in his budget, he would have had it done already.
"So he has no problem with us doing this project.
"I believe that if you are one of the civic-minded people who donate to this worthy cause, you are more likely to tell people about it so it gets more visitors.
"And you will keep and eye on it, seeing you have invested in its lasting future.
"You can make your checks out to the Bridgeton Rotary Club Foundation Inc. c/o Spike Machine Project, and mail to 15 Seville Dr. Bridgeton, NJ 08302.
"I am working on the estimate for the materials, but I think it will be some where around $1,000.
"I will put it in the BEN Column as soon as I have it.
"You can contact me by email if you have any questions at email@example.com.''

"P.S.: I'm still a work in progress!''
For someone in middle age, it's never easy to go back to school.
The students are decades younger.
The technology is foreign.
And between work and family, the obstacles between getting to class and doing homework have grown more complex.
For Marvin Wilson, going back to school should have been impossible.
Paralyzed by a severe stroke at age 32, Wilson can barely move his hands or speak, never mind crack a book or ask a question.
So it was remarkable when he got a degree as a paralegal, then a bachelor's degree from Ramapo College.
Now he plans to go to law school.

Everth Cabrera admits PED use, gives speech to teammatesAugust 6, 2013 – 10:51 pm by Ryan Phillips
On Tuesday San Diego Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera began a 50-game suspension for his connection to the Biogenesis scandal. But before he disappeared for the remainder of the season, Cabrera admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs in an emotional statement on Monday, then addressed his teammates in a pregame speech on Tuesday.
Cabrera gave what has been described as an emotional, bilingual pregame speech to his teammates, apologizing for his actions. He expressed remorse, much like he did when addressing the media on Monday.
In his statement on Monday he admitted to taking a banned substance before or during Spring Training in 2012 on the advice of Juan Nunez, a member of his former representation. He took the substance to help heal a shoulder injury he suffered while playing in Triple-A during the 2011 season.
He claims Nunez took him to meet Biogenesis clinic founder Anthony Bosch. Cabrera told Bosch he wanted a healthy shoulder. He later took something that arrived in a package from Bosch.
Cabrera, who is from Nicaragua, said the following through an interpreter:
In 2012, when I made the decision to take this, my shoulder wasn't even at 50 percent, and I wanted to be healthy for the spring. I was going through a frustrating time. And like I said before, I made the decision to take this. I'm the one responsible for this. But I do want to make it clear I did not search for this. This was something that was presented to me. My former representation were the ones who introduced me to this person.
My heart and conscience were killing me. I was scared in my heart. I knew it wasn't what I wanted to do. It wasn't the best decision, and even when I went in that clinic, I felt scared.
Never in my life or baseball career did I ever consider taking these substances. Even when I went to Spring Training, I wasn't comfortable with what I was doing.
Cabrera then switched to speaking English to apologize to his teammates, the organization and the team's fans. He had to pause repeatedly to take breaths before ultimately breaking down and crying the middle of a statement:
My situation I have right now … I'm very sorry with all my fans in San Diego with this situation. I'm very sorry with my organization. I'm very sorry with all my teammates and I'm very sorry about this situation I have right now. It's a tough situation for me. It's a tough situation for the organization and I'm making all my responsibility is just me.
He began to say something more about the fans, then broke down.
Cabrera will not be paid during the suspension and seems to know he has a lot of work to do to get back in his team's good graces. Still his long-time teammates seem willing to forgive and move on.
Chase Headley, considered one of the clubhouse leaders on the Padres, had the following to say about Cabrera's suspension:
In one sense you're angry, you're frustrated, you're tired of talking about it. But on the other hand, you've got a teammate going through a difficult situation, so it's mixed emotions. This hurts our team, obviously, so in that respect there may be some of those feelings. But, there's also a feeling of I've been around this guy for four or five years and you can see the emotion that's coming out of him.
Cabrera was enjoying a breakout season so far in 2013. He will finish the season with a .283 batting average, four home runs, 31 RBIs and a .355 on-base percentage. He had also scored 54 runs and stolen a National League-best 37 bases. He was selected to his first All-Star Game in July.

For anyone looking for a little activity before the inevitable cookouts and fireworks on Monday, the Palmyra Area Wrestlers Booster Club will host their annual 5K in the morning.
The race kicks off at 8 a.m., with registration beginning an hour earlier at 7. Registration will be held near the start of the race at Twistin' Pig, located at 31 Landings Dr. in Annville.
The course is described as mostly flat with a slight incline towards the finish. There will also be a kids' fun run, consisting of a mile run.
Last year, the event attracted about 75 runners. Organizers are hoping to increase the number of participants this year. Registration is low so far for 2013, but one of the organizers, Emily Scipioni, is optimistic that more people will sign up. She said they have increased advertising, including mailing out postcards to local families.
"Hopefully, we will get some more runners. We had a lot of walk-on registrants last year, so I'm hoping that happens again," she said.
In previous years, the funds raised from the race have been used to purchase a mat lift as well as finance wrestlers' and coaches trips to tournaments. The 5K serves as a major fundraiser for the club.
"I would encourage not only runners, but also walkers, to join us on Labor Day for a good cause," said Scipioni.
This is the third year for the Labor Day 5K, according to Scipioni, who has helped organize the event each year. Her sons, Luke and Joey, were both wrestlers for Palmyra, but have since graduated.
"I enjoyed my years with the boosters because I loved being involved with anything my kids were doing. I will miss watching them wrestle and I will miss being a part of the club but it's time to move on after this year," she said.
For 2013, there are new awards, including trophies and awards for age group winners. Additionally, all children who participate in the fun run will receive a ribbon.
For new runners, this is a great opportunity to try a low-pressure race. For seasoned veterans, it's a chance to try and win an award.
The cost is $30 for the 5K, and $10 for the kids' fun run.

Mixed martial arts fighter pleads guilty
A mixed martial arts fighter has pleaded guilty to reduced charges stemming from a bar fight in Des Moines.
The Des Moines Register says 27-year-old Jeremy Stephens was given 15 days on two convictions, which he's already served. Other charges were dropped in exchange for his pleas earlier this week.
Stephens was taken into custody last October in Minneapolis on an Iowa arrest warrant stemming from the case. His arrest occurred just hours before a nationally televised Ultimate Fighting Championship match, which he missed.
Authorities say the bar fight occurred Oct. 15, 2011, at Fat Tony's in Des Moines. Stephens and Dustin Bachman were accused of punching a man in the bar.
Bachman pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation and a $750 fine.

SOUTH EUCLID -- Among the estimated 800,000 to 1 million people who packed Washington, D.C. for the inauguration of President Barack Obama Jan. 21 was South Euclid Municipal Court Judge Gayle Williams-Byers.
It wasn't the first time the judge has seen Obama sworn in, as she also attended his inaugural in 2009. But, she said, this time was definitely better.
"This time I had a ticket," she said of the document she received from U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-11. "The last time I came, I guess you could say I was slumming."
Four years ago, Williams-Byers and her sister, Shawn Jones, of Euclid, made the trip without a ticket and did what they could to be part of the festivities. With tickets in hand this time, they were stationed outside the Capitol building and, though not particularly close to where the president stood, they were able to stand among the throng and see events and hear what was said.
"It's wonderful when you can see the three branches of government coming together," Williams-Byers said. "We, as a nation, have had 57 inaugurals and 57 transitions of power, and they've all been peaceful; no states have seceded."
Speaking about Obama, she said, "This time, being able to see and hear him making his inaugural speech was a highlight. I believe he spoke not so much as a president or a dignitary, but as a citizen. He sounded just like you and me talking about a need to come together."
Williams-Byers and her sister enjoyed the inaugural speech and the parade that followed. They didn't go to any of the balls that took place that night.
As a judge, Williams-Byers found special delight in the reception Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor received from the crowd.
"When they introduced her name, she was like a rock star," Williams-Byers said. "She swore in Vice President Biden. There were people whooping and hollering. I never heard that for a judge. I didn't even think all those people would know who she is."
Celebrities were in attendance, and singer Beyonce delivered the national anthem.
"There were celebrities and Grammy winners," Williams-Byers said, "but they paled in comparison to why we were there."
Williams-Byers noted how much better crowd control and transportation was when compared to 2009. Despite that fact, she said, almost 1 million people is almost 1 million people, and it made for long lines and waits.
Taking in the inaugural speech and parade, it took about 13 hours from the time the judge, her sister and some of their friends left their hotel room in the morning to when they got back at night.
Still, she said, "I enjoyed it. It was like going home for me."
Williams-Byers spent time living in Washington several years ago as a legislative aide for the U.S. Senate Clean Air Subcommittee, chaired at the time by former Ohio Senator George Voinovich.
Before heading home the day after the inauguration, Williams-Byers and those with her took some time to purchase souvenirs, such as T-shirts, key chains and hats.
Though she has never met the president (her sister has), Williams-Byers said, "That is a desire of mine."
Reflecting again on the events — and the fact the inaugural fell on the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day — Williams-Byers said, "It all showed the pride in how far we've come and how we've created an enduring patchwork of a country that works and strives together."
Then, repeating words she heard recently from singer John Legend, she said: "We have to put the unity back into community. We have to ask ourselves, 'Are we doing our part?'"

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State coach Thad Matta said on his final radio show of the season Monday night that the Buckeyes will play North Carolina in a nonconference event in December next season.
• Matta says Ross decision yet to be made, reports says junior is gone
Previously it had been announced that the Buckeyes would be part of a four-team rotating event with North Carolina, Kentucky and UCLA the next three years, where the teams would play a double-header at a different neutral site each season.
This announcement from Matta confirmed the first opponent for Ohio State, the Tar Heels, and the first site of the event in Chicago. He said it should be played in late December, like the Buckeyes' nonconference game with Notre Dame in New York this season. That game was played on Dec. 21. The other two years the event will be played at one site in the West and one site in the East.
Matta also said the Buckeyes still have two or three games to finalize on their 2014-15 nonconference schedule. The Big Ten opponents have been set. As always, Ohio State will play in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge, and after hosting Maryland this season, the Buckeyes are scheduled to go on the road for that event.
Matta also said the Buckeyes plan to take an overseas trip before next season. The planned destination is the Bahamas. Teams can take one of those trips every four years, and among the reasons to do it are the 10 extra practices before the trip that the NCAA allows. Matta said that will be valuable for a team bringing in four freshmen.
Among other comments from Matta on Monday night:
• He wished Amedeo Della Valle well in leaving the Buckeyes to return to Italy and play professional basketball.
"I'm happy for him. I met with him Saturday and he's going to go home and play professional basketball and he got a heckuva contract," Matta said. "We always knew that could be a very strong possibility. … You hate to see him go because he's such a good kid, but I completely understand that one."
• In the previous four seasons the Buckeyes were prepping for the Sweet 16 at this time of the season. So Matta ended the hour-long show by saying, "Sorry it had to end this early."

Jefferson Parish authorities have made three arrests in a theft ring in which roofing shingles were stolen from construction sites and then returned to Home Depot and Lowe's for cash, according to sheriff's spokesman John Fortunato.
Ronnie Deville, 33, was booked with two counts of misdemeanor theft and Chelsea Autin, 25, was booked with one count of misdemeanor theft. Dylan Guidry, 22, was also booked with two counts of theft.
According to a release from the sheriff's office, authorities became aware of the thefts while conducting an investigation into a simple battery complaint Sept. 10 at a residence in Marrero. During the investigation it was determined that Deville and another man had been storing roofing shingles at the residence. According to witness statements, both men had been stealing shingles from job sites throughout the West Bank and Jefferson Parish and returning them to Lowes and Home Depot for a cash refund.
Police are uncertain how those who stole the material became aware of the shipments of shingles being delivered to the various job sites, but through their investigation police said they were able to recover 10 boxes of shingles from a home in the 500 block of Ann Street in Marrero.
As the scope of this investigation widened, police said they were able to connect the group to several other incidents where roofing shingles were stolen from job sites. Police also discovered that Lowe's and Home Depot's loss prevention departments had become suspicious of the groups' merchandise returns and were conducting investigations at its stores in Marrero and Harvey, Fortunato said.
Police said Autin and Deville both admitted to stealing roof shingles from in front of residences but could not be specific of dates or locations. Police said Autin and Deville told them that Guidry had informed them of where the roofing shingles could be found. The pair also admitted to stealing shingles and making returns at either Lowe's or Home Depot numerous times, and using the money to support their heroin addiction, Fortunato said.
The investigation is ongoing and authorities ask anyone with information about these crimes to call the JPSO Burglary Division at 504.364.5300 or Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111 or toll-free at 1.877.903.7867.

In 1997 I was 19 years old and living just this side of broke here in SLC. My buddy and I rented an apartment downtown, and were enjoying some newfound freedom. At that point I was snowboarding regularly and skating rarely. I would push around a bit, but the kids I had skated with earlier on, had given up almost entirely. Partying was prevalent in my life, and with no one else to skate with, I began falling away from the streets. I was ticketed at the U of U benches a few months prior for "leaving the ground" on a skateboard, and was definitely losing motivation. Then I met Shane Justus.

He started working at the same shitty bagel shop where I was at the time. Immediately I was impressed with the kid. He was super mellow, and full of stories. Shane had a quiet confidence that very few people possess. He introduced me to Redman, he made me want tattoos (my memory is still locked on the day he showed up with the faceless Virgin of Guadalupe on his forearm), and more than anything else, he made me want to skate again. We worked together for some time before he even knew that I skated. Admittedly I was a little intimidated by this guy that I knew was on a killing spree in the streets of SLC. I didn't want to be that "Iusedtocould" dude, and Shane was the shred.
When I finally told him my reasons for not rolling around as much anymore, he wasn't impressed. I remember him smoking American Spirits out back, and telling me to "stop making excuses." I was caught up in the fact that I didn't have a group of friends to go skate with, that I wasn't as good as I used to be, and that beer was too delicious etc. "None of that means anything" he'd say. "You don't need a crew, you don't have to be good, you just have to want to get out and push." Shane was right. He pressed me to get back to what was fun about skating. Why I started skating.
Aaron Ohrt photo courtesy of Mike Murder on Flickr
He made me realize that I started skateboarding simply because it was fun. It didn't cost much, and I could go at it alone. For many years I was an only child of a single mother. Fresh out the door in Burlingame CA with a "latch key" around my neck, I would see the world from a different angle, and make loads of friends in the process. I was able to witness some early days at EMB. I was exposed to music and people that have impacted me for my entire life. I had built an identity that would imprint my future until the day I died. The reality is that it's impossible for me to "quit" skating. Everywhere I drive I see spots. I put lines together in my head from curb cuts and banks without realizing it's really even happening.
Skateboarding will always be a part of who I am, and when I almost got away from that, Shane Justus ensured I would never forget. For those of you who knew Shane, you understand exactly what I'm talking about. Years after working together I would see him at parties or around town, and he would always catch a high five. Shane and I were never close friends by any stretch, but that's what's so amazing about him. You didn't need to know Shane well in order for him to have an impact on your life.
We miss you Shane. Thanks for everything.

after Mount Vesuvius that erupted that same day, in 79 A.D.
According to Full Sail Brewmaster John Harris, Vesuvius is brewed in the
Belgian Golden Ale style. These beers are known for being light in
color, but strong in flavor and alcohol. The malt bill is 2-row Pale
malt and a touch of Turbinado sugar. This allows the beer to ferment dry
with low residual sugar giving the beer amazing drinkability.
The beer is fermented at a relatively high temperature of 80 degrees
Fahrenheit allowing lots of herbal and fruity esters to develop
from the traditional Belgian ale yeast, imparting the
classic ester-fruity aromas and flavors of this unique style. Vesuvius
has a light malt character with the warming presence of alcohol and
hopped with Saaz and Styrian Golding hops for a nice balance. ABV: 8.2 %
"Vesuvius is part of our rotating selection of Brewmaster Reserve beers," said Full Sail founder and CEO, Irene Firmat. "Every ten weeks we come out with a different beer that show cases the brewer's art. We began the program back in 1998 as a way of celebrating
our independence and creativity."
Vesuvius will be available in 22oz bottles in specialty beer stores and
pubs throughout the Pacific Northwest from September to November. Full
Sail will be serving Vesuvius later this week at the Great American Beer
Festival in Denver Colo.. Full Sail will follow Vesuvius Belgian Style Golden Ale with Wreck the Halls in November. Here's thefull list of Full Sail's Brewmaster Reserve 2009 line...

Ladies over 50 don't have to succumb to blue hair and lipstick bleeding into their wrinkles.
Snap to it, sisters. There are plenty of tricks left in the old makeup bag.
Midstate makeup artists and salon owners shared their best makeup secrets for older women. (Go cougars!)
"It's all smoke and mirrors," said Missy Galiardo, owner of Lola's Day Spa in Harrisburg.
"I've done many an intervention at the store, getting these very attractive older women to stop with the heavy eyeliner. They just need to have glowing skin, pretty eyes, pretty lips. It can take 10 years off someone."
Older women tend to get into makeup ruts, said Desiree Woof, owner of Sass Salon and Day Spa in Hampden Twp. "They don't experiment and play with the makeup and have fun with it. They use too many guidelines."
Here's the dish:
- Keep your color palette neutral. Think polished, clean and sophisticated. Think Christie Brinkley, not Ivanna Trump.
- Accentuate the positive. Highlight your brow bone or your lips with lighter shades, not the bags under your eyes.
- Think dewy, not disco sparkle. Dewy reflects the light, camouflaging imperfections, but it's a fine line between a bit of shimmer and hulking chunks of cheap disco ball shining off your face.
- Right now the big color is purple. Ladies, go right ahead. You can wear purples.
- Ditch the muddy black eyeliner around the eyes. It accentuates the dark circles and puffiness. Instead use a more neutral tone, either just on the top lashes or just at the corners of the eyes.
- Everybody over the age of 21 should use eye cream to hydrate.
- Don't pencil in eyebrows. Use eye shadow with an angled brush for a softer, more natural look.
- Avoid using a red plum eye shadows. It makes under eye circles appear darker. Dusty pinks are fine.
- Think preventive medicine. It's easier to avoid wrinkles than get rid of them.
- Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. Then moisturize.
- Choose a foundation color very close to your natural color, but maybe use a bronzing powder on top. A foundation color too different from your own can make your skin look dirty.
- Color primers can offset rosacea, age spots or sallowness and help foundation stay on all day.
- In their 40s, many women notice big changes in their skin. It gets thinner and looses some of its elasticity and firmness. Menopause further dries out the skin.
- Lip liners received mixed reviews. Some said it prevents color bleeding into wrinkles. Others said it accentuates every imperfection.
- Nix the clown look with much darker lip liner than your lipstick. It looked weird in the 90s and it still looks weird.
- Mauves and plums are good colors, even with older skin that can get sallow. Wineberry is a great color for just about anybody. Find a red that works for you.
- Hair gets dryer with age, so use moisture treatments.
- Find a hair color that suits your skin tone. That jet black you started using 20 years ago might not be the best choice for you today.

That question was posed to me on Thursday by Alyse Nelson, editor of Panther Paw, Pell City High School's online news site. Advisor Katie Frost invited me to speak to her students, who have moved away from their longtime print product to focus on digital media. That move has triggered some excitement, a few jitters and has brought along quite a few headaches too.
Sound familiar?
While talking with the students, I came to two conclusions: 1) The Panther Paw's evolving coverage mirrors our own here at AL.com and 2) as long as the core principles of good journalism are upheld, we'll both be just fine.
Here are the hurdles we're both looking to clear:
Hurdle No. 1: Finding your niche
Student Josh Kirby very plainly asked me, "How do you write about things you aren't interested in?" Personally, that's not a problem I run into often. When I do, my love affair with the written word gives me all the motivation I need. Crafting a good story is like assembling a difficult puzzle - it takes a ton of time and brainpower but once that picture takes shape, the results are satisfying.
But the most important thing to remember is that we're not writing for ourselves. What might not be of interest to me is certainly of interest to someone in our community. Finding a niche isn't so much about sticking with what a writer enjoys, it's about recognizing a community need and using the writer's talents and connections to fill that void.
Hurdle No. 2: Finding meaningful content
The Panther Paw staff is looking to beef up the amount of articles they produce but weren't sure how to gain meaningful content. The solution is staring us in the face, or, more accurately, staring at our stories. Look to readers for answers. Want to know what they desire? Simply ask. What are they struggling with? They'll gladly tell you. In the age of social media, it's easier than ever to connect with readers and assess their needs. Lend your neighbors your ear (electronic or otherwise) and stories will follow.
Hurdle No. 3: Connecting with the community
Whether we're talking class hallways or residential neighborhoods, reporters need to be in the trenches. Even in a digital world, personal, face-to-face connections still bridge gaps and build relationships.
Student Shelby Savage brought up a great idea of the journalism staff making connections with eighth-graders. It's a fantastic way to develop a mentorship role with young readers and maybe even stoke their interest in writing. Sounds like we have a community engagement specialist in the making.
Hurdle No. 4: Confronting critics
Haters gon' hate. Just scroll down our comments section and look for yourself.
Courtney Morrison told me about a controversial story that drummed up a lot of attention and caused a bit of an uproar among some members of the student body. I reminded the staff to stand firm and defend what they write, especially in the face of unpopularity. People might not like it, but if it's for the betterment of the community, stand firm.
That also goes for change itself. Change isn't easy (says the man who still uses a old-school paper planner). But being a leader means being brave enough to take the initial steps on a new path. There will definitely be some stumbles but we'll all be stronger in the end.
I reminded students that while the mediums change, the core aspects of journalism have not. Truth, accuracy and fairness is what news coverage is built upon, not smartphones and Tweets or paper and ink.
So yes, Alyse, there's no better time to pursue a career in journalism. News isn't "dying" - there's an innate human desire to be informed that will never fade. The delivery system is just being upgraded, and the kids at Pell City High are already ushering in that change. The industry is looking to better implement new media; who better to lead that charge than young people who already have incorporated it into their lives?
As Alyse walked me to my car, she revealed that she's already taken the initiative to talk to recruiters about studying journalism in college.
Yeah, the future is bright. For Alyse and the industry.

Wildcat swim team sends three individuals, relay team to state
Three individuals and a relay team from Oak Harbor High School qualified for the state swim meet based on their performances at last Saturday's district meet at Kamiak High School.
As a team the Wildcats placed fourth out of 12 schools with 288 points. Host Kamiak, the defending state champion, captured the team title with 612 points.
The district meet, which features the Western Conference North and South schools, is considered the most competitive in the state. Not only did it produce last year's state team champion in Kamiak, but racers from Wesco went on to win nine of the 12 state events in 2009.
In the latest published report of the top three times in the 11 swim events among all 4A schools in the state, Western Conference individuals held 17 of those 33 times.
The top three placers in each event at district automatically qualified for the state meet; others earned spots by surpassing state qualifying times. The talent of the district was evident as numerous individuals met the stringent state qualifying times, including an incredible eight in the 100-yard breaststroke and seven in the 200 individual medley and the 50 free.
Since no Oak Harbor swimmer placed higher than fourth, all of those who earned a trip to state did so by meeting the tough state standards. The top 12 in each event earned team points, and Oak Harbor scored in every swim event.
Yale Rosen beat the state qualifying mark in two individual events and with the 200-yard medley relay. He was seventh in both the 50 free (23.28) and the 100 breaststroke (1:03.04) and finished six with Jacob Jepsen, Brandon Vagt and Matt Bolte in the relay (1:42.74).
Price Hu met state qualifying times while placing fourth in the 100-yard butterfly (54.41) and seventh in the 200 individual medley (2:04.17).
Jepsen was right behind Hu in the 200 IM (2:05.79) and also met the state qualifying mark.
Those who scored team points but did not qualify for state included Josh Jepsen, who was fourth in two events (500 free, 5:09.98; 100 backstroke, 57.76) and swam on two scoring relay teams. He joined Bolte, Ben Cardinal and Hu to finish sixth in the 200 free relay (1:34.76) and Devin Schell, Hu, and Jacob Jepsen to get seventh in the 400 free relay (3:30.4).
Vagt grabbed fifth in the 100 breaststroke (56.06), and Schell was ninth in the 200 free (1:58.72).
Bolte added two 10th places in the 50 free (23.81) and the 100 free (52.11).
The state meet is at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way this Friday and Saturday, Feb. 19 and 20.

Columbiana County Grand Jury Reports for 1-9
Queysean L. Sallis, 18, Jackson Street, East Liverpool, was served with a secret indictment for an assault charge, a fifth-degree felony. Sallis reportedly harmed or attempted to harm a corrections officer, Brent Bergman, at the county jail on Oct. 30, while Sallis was incarcerated here.
Sallis is currently serving time at the Lorain State Prison, where he was served with the indictment. He was sentenced by Judge Scott Washam to five years on Dec. 14 for improper shooting of a firearm into a home and a second count of improper shooting of a firearm in or near a prohibited premise after an errant bullet from a gun fired by Sallis narrowly missed a 3-year-old Wellsville boy in July.
Juan D. Stamps, 35, last known address East Taggart Street, East Palestine, was served a secret indictment for an assault charge, a first-degree misdemeanor. According to court documents Stamps on either Oct. 19 or 20 attempted to harm someone with the initials D.G.
Both indictments were issued by the county grand jury in December.

Wright - having attended Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco - is a six-year veteran that was originally signed by Tampa Bay to five-year, $35.295 million deal. A year later the team acquired Darrelle Revis making him expendable.
The Buccaneers restructured Wright's contract to the tune of one-year, $1.5 million to accommodate Revis and their newly-signed safety Dashon Goldson.
Originally drafted in the second round (53rd overall) in 2007 by Cleveland. Wright also played a season for the Detroit Lions before moving on to Tampa Bay.
Wright adds yet another veteran presence to an already crowded group of cornerbacks. The team's top-five players at the position are all returning from 2012's NFC Championship team: Tarell Brown, Chris Culliver, Carlos Rogers, Tramaine Brock and Perrish Cox. The 49ers also inked veteran Nnamdi Asomugha to a non-guaranteed one-year deal to compete for job.
The 49ers reportedly had interest in Wright prior to him signing with the Buccaneers last season, but a deal never materialized.
At 27-years-old, Wright is five years younger than Rogers and $4 million cheaper this season.
But Wright only played in 10 games last season after getting suspended for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing drugs. In a statement Wright said, "This is a result of taking Adderall at the end of July for health issues I was experiencing...I am extremely disappointed that the suspension was upheld at my appeal."
In 85 games (81 starts) in his six seasons, Wright has 14 interceptions, 70 passes defended and three forced fumbles.
Earlier on Friday, the 49ers announced they had waived cornerback Lowell Rose to make room on the 90-man roster.
Wright's trade comes just a week after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Los Angeles July 12. He was charged with a misdemeanor and released the following day after posting $5,000 bond.
That charge came just over a year after facing similar a similar charge in Los Angeles after police responded to an injury accident near the Staples Center. According to the Los Angeles Times, Wright was taken to the LAPD's down Metropolitan Detention Center with $100,000 bail. Charges were eventually dismissed.
The Times also reported Wright transferred from the University of Southern California to the University of Nevada Las Vegas while facing potential disciplinary actions from the school for an arrest for suspicion of rape. Los Angeles county did not file chargers due to insufficient evidence. Police allegedly found 136 Ecstasy pills in his apartment, according to multiple reports.

LANSING, MI -- Police are investigating after a 20-year-old DeWitt man was shot early Friday morning near downtown Lansing.
Lansing police Capt. Daryl Green said officers responded to a local hospital about midnight for a reported shooting victim. Upon their arrival, the victim told police he was in the area of Allegan Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, just blocks from the state Capitol, when he was shot.
The victim told police he was inside his parked vehicle when an acquaintance approached, bearing a handgun. The acquaintance demanded marijuana, then fired several rounds, one of which struck the victim.
Witnesses drove the man to a local hospital after the shooting. His resulting injuries are non-life-threatening, Green said. He was listed in stable condition Friday morning.
The suspect is described as a man between 20 and 30 years old, about 5-foot-10, with a thin build and a dark complexion.

Clark Clifford
Clark M. Clifford was a longtime advisor to Democratic Presidents Truman, Johnson and Carter, and held various positions in Democratic Administrations, including cabinet rank. Clifford advised American presidents on some of the crucial developments in the later half of the 20th century, including the decision to use atomic weapons at the end of World War II, the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, attempted to convince President Johnson the Vietnam War should be abandoned, and a role in the Iran Hostage Crisis. Clifford became known as a senior Democratic party insider and Washington "fix-it" man, and was caught up in the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) affair in his twilight years.
Truman Advisor
In July 1945 Clifford attended the Potsdam Conference near Berlin with President Truman.
Throughout 1946 tension between the United States and the Soviet Union grew. In July 1946, President Harry S. Truman asked Clifford, who was serving as special counsel, to compile a list of agreements the Soviet Union had broken or were not living up to. Clifford and his assistant, George Elsey, reviewed every aspect of post World War II Soviet behaviour and American-Soviet relations.
The two aides interviewed senior officials in the U.S. Defense Department, FBI, and all agencies of government dealing with the Soviet Union. The Clifford-Elsey report put the blame squarely on Stalin for the breakdown of relations between the wartime allies. It concluded that "the Soviet Union constitutes a real menace to freedom in this world; freedom in Europe; freedom in the United States. So we must prepare for it."
According to Howard Zinn, Clifford advised Truman to connect the intervention in Greece in 1947 to a blood for oil policy—the great natural resources of the Middle East. Clifford was also one of the principal architects of the National Security Act of 1947, which unified the armed services and in which he wrote the basic legislation establishing the CIA.[1]
After leaving the government in 1950 Clifford practiced law in Washington, but continued to advise the White House occasionally. In 1960 he was a member of President-elect Kennedy's Committee on the Defense Establishment, headed by Stuart Symington. In May 1961 Kennedy appointed him to the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, which he chaired beginning in April 1963. After President Johnson entered office, Clifford served frequently as an unofficial counselor and sometimes undertook short-term official duties, including a trip with General Maxwell Taylor in 1967 to Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Clifford estimated that in the year prior to his appointment as secretary of defense he had spent about half of his time advising the president and the other half with his law firm.
Clifford was appointed by U.S. President Lyndon Johnson Secretary of Defense at the height of Johnson's escalation of the Vietnam conflict upon termination of Secretary Robert McNamara. Clifford recites in a PBS documentary on the Vietnam War that he had "turned against the war" shortly after Johnson appointed him Defense Secretary.[2]
Special Presidential Emissary to India
In 1980, as Special Presidential Emissary to India appointed by President Jimmy Carter, Clifford threatened the newly established regime of Ayatolla Khomeini with war for their intransigence in negotiating the release of hostages.
In 1991, Clifford's memoirs Counsel to the President (co-authored with Richard Holbrooke) were published just as his name was implicated in the unfolding Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) scandal. The bank, with Clifford as its chairman, was called First American Bankshares and became the largest in Washington. Robert Morgenthau, the district attorney in New York City, disclosed that his office had found evidence that the parent company of Clifford's bank was secretly controlled by BCCI. The district attorney convened a grand jury to determine whether Clifford and his partner, Robert Altman, had deliberately misled federal regulators when the two men assured them that BCCI would have no control.[3]
Jackson Stephens, a billionaire banker in Little Rock, Arkansas, and one of presidential candidate Bill Clinton's main supporters, played a key role in setting up the illegal purchase of the American branch of the BCCI of two American banks.
Both First American National Bank and Georgia National Bank, owned by Bert Lance, were purchased by BCCI front man and Stephens business associate Gaith Pharon. Stephens' family bank, the Worthern National Bank (later renamed Boatman's Bank), extended a two million dollar loan to the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign.
Stephens was named in the court records as having brought Pharon together with Stephens' close friend Bert Lance. Lance was a former OMB nominee under President Jimmy Carter who was denied confirmation due to a banking scandal.
BCCI founder Agha Hasan Abedi was introduced to Lance by Stephens. Stephens, Lance, and First American Bank director and longtime Democratic party power broker Clark Clifford all maintained that they did not know the group of Pakinstani and Saudi investors headed by Pharon, which they were dealing with, were actually fronting for BCCI.[4]
Clifford's predicament worsened when it was disclosed he had made about $6 million in profits from bank stock that he bought with an unsecured loan from BCCI. A New York grand jury handed up indictments, as did the Justice Department. Clifford's assets in New York, where he kept most of his investments, were frozen.
The "Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations United States Senate" led by Senators John Kerry and Hank Brown noted that a key strategy of "BCCI's successful secret acquisitions of U.S. banks in the face of regulatory suspicion was its aggressive use of a series of prominent Americans," Clifford among them.[5] Clifford, who prided himself on decades of meticulously ethical civic conduct, summed his predicament up when he told a reporter from the New York Times, "I have a choice of either seeming stupid or venal." Indictments against Clifford had been set aside because of his failing health.

Caffeine: The first stimulant in this powerful fat burner is caffeine. Caffeine is the most popular and effective stimulant for burning fat and providing focus and alertness. Caffeine also helps with burning fat by speeding up the body's metabolism. As the body metabolizes caffeine, it increases lipolysis, the breakdown of fat, decreasing fat stores all over the body. Caffeine also helps decrease appetite leading to fewer calories consumed overall, which leads to weight loss.
DMAA: Also so commonly known as 1,3-Dimethylamylamine. DMAA is a very effective stimulant that provides users with energy, focus, and a feeling of euphoria. DMAA works by releasing norepinephrine in the brain and increases vasoconstriction of inactive muscles.
Yohimbine: is an alpha-2 adreno receptor antagonist. Alpha-2 are found mainly in fat cells membrane. When Alpha-2 receptors are active it sends a signal to the body stops all mobilization of fatty acids. This process stops the activation of the alpha-2 receptors on fat cells, helping the stored fat get turned from fatty acid into a usable energy source. Users have experienced increased fat loss, enhanced mood, and allover well-being.
White Willow Bark: is the bark found in tree's, it is used for several health benefits such as muscle pain, cramps, and headaches. White Willow Bark helps accelerate the body's ability to burn fat by thinning the blood which extends the effectiveness of other thermogenic ingredients which helps increase the amount of fat burned.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - The Northeast Hoosier Conference football race should be fun to watch this year.
"Half-Century Homestead" returns quarterback Zach Terrell and the 50-point offense.
And New Haven hopes the combination of last year's state leading rusher Te'Vaughn Hurse and a handful of Harding transfers can take the Bulldogs to new heights.
New Haven survived a homefield scare against Heritage Friday night, thanks to a huge 83-yard kick return for a touchdown by Hurse.
New Haven senior Andrew Hoffer talks about the close win, and what the Bulldogs can do to improve from Week 1.

CHICOPEE - A free elder suicide prevention training program is under way, thanks to Hawthorn Services Inc.
It focuses on identifying senior citizens at risk for suicide, and learning how to make referrals to appropriate services.
Development Director Janet M. Simeone said this week, "It is up to us to do what we can to increase our efforts in prevention strategies for our valued older adult members."
Hawthorn is a private nonprofit agency serving seniors and others with aging, mental health, and other problems. It operates group homes in Chicopee and Holyoke, as well adult day health programs in Chicopee, Springfield, and West Springfield.
Simeone said the program dubbed "Living is for the Elderly (LIFE)" is possible through a state Department of Public Health grant, and "is a community gatekeeper training program that contains theoretical and experiential learning.
She said, "Emphasis is given to skill building and practical application of skills so that participants leave the training with more confidence in their ability to successfully refer elders-at-risk" for help.
The aim is to educate elder care providers, care givers, and elders themselves.
There have been inquiries from councils on aging, elder housing units, EMTs, police, and visiting nurse associations.
The lead trainer is psychologist Kerry M. Morrison, who has a private practice in Greenfield. She is the program director-lead trainer of the Garret Lee Smith Memorial Grant for Suicide Prevention at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and previously served as an elder service specialist with the Department of Mental Health.
Morrison said, "We are hoping to train police, emergency service workers, folks who transport elders to appointments. We are not limiting it to any one group. Suicide does increase with age, and research has shown that depression and hopelessness is involved.
"As part of the aging process, there is loss, and if they are depressed, then the risk of suicide significantly increases. The people we are targeting are gatekeepers - those who have ongoing contact with elders such as service workers, social workers, case managers, service providers, mail carriers, UPS, and those who deliver meals."
She noted that even peers in the same building could help if they have conversations with at-risk elders and notice a change in behavior or appearance.
"Often, when people are not taking good care of themselves, something is going on," Morrison said.
The latest census data from 2004 shows that 6,860 Americans over 60 died by suicide, and "that translates into 15 elders a day and one older adult suicide every 100 minutes," Morrison said.
The highest risk group is white males over 75.
"Elders generally choose more lethal means of committing suicide and take measures not to be interrupted or discovered," said Morrison. "Elder suicide is a public health problem."
Medical examiners and coroners are keeping better data on elder suicides, when, in the past, such deaths may have been ruled natural causes.
Morrison said, "Most suicides are preventable and are due to untreated depression or alcohol abuse. Hopefully, we can identify these people and increase the likelihood they will get treatment and survive."

Riverview awarded $1.5 million for leaky roof
by Lisa Allen
Valley View Editor
DUVALL - A 12-member King County Superior Court jury has ordered a manufacturing company to pay Riverview School District $1.5 million in damages after finding that the company was to blame for a faulty roof that was installed on Cedarcrest High School when it was built in 1992.
The school district filed the lawsuit two years ago against Loadmaster Systems, Inc. of Atlanta, after battling roof leaks that began shortly after the school opened. The award came after five weeks of testimony during which district officials contended that the roof was defective when it was installed.
"Our assertion was that the nails holding the shingles were like straws, sucking water out of the top of the roof, " said Michael Green, Riverview assistant superintendent. "The jury agreed, and we actually got more than we had asked for, which was $1.2 million. This is very good news."
Although Green and Riverview District Board President Laura Ritter sat through most of the trial, neither one was present when the jury delivered its verdict late in the afternoon of Nov. 2.
"The attorneys were there, and the jury told them there were two reasons why extra money was awarded," said Green. "One was that the jury believed our repair estimates were conservative and the other was they wanted to make sure there would still be funds available for the repairs after possible appeals."
Green said the company did have insurance to cover the cost of the award.
"We will get enough money to fix the roof, although sometimes things do get tied up in appeals," he said.
Green said the district has not yet received a final bill from their lawyers, but that a violation of the Washington Consumer Protection Act was filed against the company, which could allow the district to make a claim for legal costs.
"We think that we should be able to recover a substantial portion of our attorneys' fees," he said.
Most of the water damage was located in specific areas, concentrating mostly in the library, music room and the gym, he said.
"There was some floor damage to the gym, but it was not extensive because we took steps right away to fix it," he said. "But there has been some consistent damage."

The rest of the public, however, is completely unaware of the roils and intrigues inherent in Downe's municipal government.
Incumbent Township Committeeman Robert Campbell is running against challenger Robert Lore for the Republican nomination for the lone contested Township Committee seat in November's general election.
There are no Democrats seeking the nomination, and so, barring the emergence of a dark-horse independent candidate, the primary winner will probably end up being sworn in come January 2013.
Anyone removed from the levers of political power in Downe who happened to be driving through the township probably wouldn't have given a second thought to the political signs Campbell planted ahead of the June 5 primary election.
However, some ambitious partisan went the extra mile, or in this case the entire 54 square miles of the township, to win over the swing vote.
According to Campbell, nearly $400 worth of his signs were taken down across the entire length and breadth of the township.
"I put my signs up across the township, and the next day someone alerted me that they had been taken down," explained Campbell.
"I drove across the whole township and every one of my signs was gone."
Campbell then took his remaining signs, about 20 in all, and put them up.
The very next day they had all been taken down again.
This comes as no surprise to those familiar with the contentiousness of Downe politics; whether it will have an impact on the upcoming election remains to be seen.

Scottish teenager 'may have been killed for being gay'
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
it hardly surprises me given the way things are in Scotland just now. Homophobia is at what may be it's highest point in over a decade.
We're suffocating up here.
I am so sorry that you guys are having a rough time in Scotland it sound as if it is more homophobic than Poland. I think the murder of Jack Frew is appalling and against all Human Rights. I condemn it outright and my sympathies and love go to his family and friends.
I agree totally but I fear this won't be the last murder.
I blame facebook, kids don't get out enuff they have poor socail skills!
Its sad that a friend could do that to you, but it looks like to me two friends got into an argument, a bit of a strugle and then one whips out a knife. and the ONLY reason he has that knife is not becuase hes got poor education or uncaring perants, but the medias (NEWS channels) reporting on teen stabings and how dangeus it's to go out side! what do they thinks going to happen they will defend them selfs with what ever they can find. All blame should be on the media for their careless regarde to peoples mentality reporting on how bad the world is.
> it hardly surprises me given the way things are in Scotland just now. Homophobia is at what may be it's highest point in over a decade.
> We're suffocating up here.
May I ask what you feel has caused or is contributing to this level of homophobia, which appears by your suggestion to be higher than in England.
Speechless…heartbreaking news…
wow wow … what was on his mind ? he just took a life as easy as an antz. what is wrong for being gay anyway ? as long as he doesnt touch you
@ Josh,"as long as he doesn't touch you"! WTF?! What's wrong with people who use such asinine comments as this?! So,it's ok to be gay just don't express it in any way!So,lets presume that Jack Frew in some way 'approached' his mate and that mate took exception to it.Would that give the mate 'carte blanche' to whip out a knife and stab Jack?!What the hell is wrong in simply saying,'Yeah,mate,I'm not gay"?!Even if this 'mate' is charged with Jack's murder and it transpires Jack had in some way 'come on to him',is THAT gonna be this lad's defence?!If a hetty bloke 'came on to' a lass and she didn't like it would she be in any better a position to stab him? Right now we should be focusing on why it somehow seems more acceptable to use the homophobia defence!Condolences to Jack's family and friends.
Poor kid no one cares gay men put more energy into getting married than saving lives of theose gay men less fortunate who dont live in London and have to struggle to survive every day
Very sadly Paul, the so-called gay panic defence seems to be used a lot, at the time of writing this post, the top story on Pink News is of someone doing exactly that for the murder of a gay man last summer. Sickening really, given how many lawyers are using it (presumably they wouldn't if they didn't think it improved their client's chances of a reduced sentence due to leniency by the courts), maybe it should be legislated against.
dean – people care plus gay marriage is one of many things that is fought for
RIP Jack
how could someone who's supposedly a 'friend' commit murder?
The mainstream media in Scotland haven't even yet reported that this poor lad was gay and it could have been why he was killed. Reporting Scotland described him as "flamboyant" today, so I think that gives you an indication of what it's like in Scotland.
Why do you vultures contaminate stories like this? Theotherone, life's no' ah film aw aboot you, yi know.
Heartfelt sympathy to Jack's family, loved ones and friends.
Such a young, vibrant life.
@ Anthony: It turns out (as reported here now too) that the young lad's best friend who he was with and who was injured, has been arrested in regard to the murder.
Even so, even though it now appears to have not been anything due to a homophobic murder as it now transpires, the points about Scotland being generally very homophobic, I think, are still very true & relevant. Whenever I travel south from Scotland, I find that, overall, there is a less homophobic attitude from people. Of course I generalise, homophobes are everywhere, just that up here in Scotland there seems to be an awful lot of them.
Thank you for confirming that. I'm inclined to agree just by what I've read over the last year or so. And let's not mention the influence of the SNP.
But this is not the place nor the time, as I'm sure Anthony will agree.
Such a horrendous crime.
What parasites you British Nats are – Pope Jean-Paul writes "and let's not mention the influence of the SNP. But this is not the place nor (sic) the time …".
you shouldn't generalise Simon!
Oh fuddle duddle, I've been outed: it's true…I am a British Nationlaist (hic).
A young man is murdered and all the low-life scum like Jean-Paul can do is make snide remarks against a political party and make stupid "jokes". You sub-human trash.
My only hope is that the murderer is subjected to a life that would equal what he did, the young lad jack had not begun his full life yet . Each to their own imo. this is a disgrace ( Rest in peace and sympathy to your family )

Writing about politics makes me lose my appetite, and then I can't write about breakfast. That would hurt.
You see, now that mlive.com's eating team has pre-announced its best breakfast list of statewide "joints," with, sadly, too many of my local favorites not on it, I have to come to their defense.
I know Big John's done his homework, but here's what I've discovered in my decades of chowing down at some of the "joints" I frequent.
Best Breakfast Biscuits: Some may choose toast, but I always opt for a hot buttermilk biscuit with my eggs. No one makes a better biscuit around town than do the Bob Evans franchises, 1608 E. Apple and 1701 E. Sternberg in Muskegon. Mr. Evans's little castles of rich dough are perfect.
Best Breakfast Potatoes: Just for fun, I told a pal of mine from out of town to go ahead and order the full portion of American fries at the Getty Street Grill, 1572 S. Getty, Muskegon. It was a show to see his face when that enormous pile of glistening carbohydrates arrived. Delicious, too, with crisp brown edges and just the right amount of onions mixed in.
Best Breakfast Pancakes: All too many places serve their cakes too dry and too bland for my taste. It might be the technique, or it might be an inferior mix in play, but I've never experienced anything other than heaven at Grand Haven's Morning Star Café, 711 Washington. Off the Morning Star's griddle are the best pancakes I've ever had, at least a half-dozen varieties. My favorite: hot oatmeal cakes with pure Michigan syrup.
Best Breakfast Meats: The Kalico Kitchen Restaurant in Douglas, just south of Saugatuck (go one mile north after taking U.S. 31 exit 36) delivers the porky goods. The kicker is, you've got to get there when their sometimes breakfast buffet is being served (be sure to call first and double-check) to partake of the baked ham the size of a boat motor carved off the bone, and all-you-can-eat, perfectly cooked, sausages and bacon. Meat market on the premises says it all.
Best Breakfast Eggs: I'd have to say, no one really messes these up on a consistent basis, thank goodness. But I give the prize to Jeanne's Café, 949 Robbins, Grand Haven. Every omelet is just the way it's advertised, and all special orders are honored. Good for them.
Best Breakfast Oatmeal: The baked oatmeal, a wonderfully innovative variation of the famous dish is served up in a clay pot at Toast N' Jams, 3462 Henry, Muskegon. Toast and homemade jam is all you need to complete this winning trifecta.
Best Breakfast Breads: A tie. First, if you haven't been to the Village Baker in Spring Lake, 717 E. Savidge, you are sadly missing out on some extraordinary bread and pastry. And for doughnuts, the enormous Texas-size glazed monster at Ryke's, 1788 Terrace, Muskegon, takes the prize. Good luck finding a cup of coffee big enough to accompany it.
I'm full!
