WILBRAHAM – A little over a month ago, Marianapolis Prep made the drive up from Thompson, Conn. and handed Wilbraham & Monson a 56-48 loss.
Wilbraham & Monson coach Chris Sparks was unhappy with his team's effort in that regular season defeat.
On Wednesday afternoon, in their second meeting of the season, the second-seeded Titans responded with a much improved performance in what turned out to be a 68-48 rout over the No. 7 Knights in the NEPSAC Class AA quarterfinals.
"We didn't give these guys are best in the first game," Sparks said. "Defensively, I think we were much better [today]. For us, defensively, that was a huge thing to lock in and defend those guys. And that's what it came down to: stops."
While defense was the catalyst on Wednesday afternoon, the tone was set on the Titans first offensive possession.
After winning the tip, Wilbraham & Monson senior center Goodluck Okonoboh, threw down a dunk to kick things off in front of a loud and crowded gymnasium.
"It's always nice to start the game off with a dunk, something electrifying," Okonoboh said. "It gets you a good feel for the game early."
The opening highlight got the 6-foot-9 Okonoboh rolling, as the future UNLV Runnin' Rebel finished with 22 points, 12 rebounds and eight blocked shots.
With 8:39 remaining in the first half, Marianapolis star power forward Bobby Ahearn was called for his second foul. The timing was bad for the Knights, who were in the early stages of a prolonged scoring drought.
A pair of Ryan Bernstein's free throws snapped a scoreless streak that lasted more than seven minutes. Almost another full minute went by before Travis Descoteaux banked in a layup, the first Marianapolis field goal in about eight minutes. That slump was a result of WMA's defense, which switched at times from half-court defense to a three-quarters court pressure.
During that defensive stand, the Titans were able to go on a 12-0 run.
"We were just prepared for them, and when we play like that, it's hard to beat us," Sparks added.
"They are a tough team to play because they don't quit. They get everything out of their guys and Coach [Andrew Vitale] does a great job."
Despite its offensive woes, the Knights were able to regroup and go on a late 7-0 run in the first half, cutting the lead to 28-18. Right before halftime, Okonoboh stroked a mid-range jumper, as the Titans entered the break with a lead at a dozen.
Marcel Pettway scored five straight points to open the second half, extending the WMA lead to 17 again. Though, Marianapolis would chip away at the lead, and would eventually cut the deficit to single digits when Bobby Ahearn spun into the lane for a finger roll to make the score 46-37. Eric Murdock followed with an old-school 3-point play, getting the Knights within six with a just over eight minutes remaining.
"It was just a couple of slips," Okonoboh said. "When we saw that we were only up by six, I just told the guys, 'We have to turn it up right here.' We started to throw the ball inside, getting some in-and-out leading to 3s."
Wilbraham & Monson would countered with a 3-pointer from Taylor Fortin, and a breakaway dunk by Pettway – which started with a Okonoboh rejection on the other end – to up the lead back to double figures.
With under three minutes in regulation, Marianapolis again attempted to get the lead under 10, but Fortin drilled his fourth 3 of the evening. If that wasn't the dagger, then Curtis Cobb's triple on the next play was, giving the Titans a 19-point edge.
"It's a games of run," Sparks said. "You have to combat theirs, and do the best you can to have poise and not going away from what was working."
Pettway added 13 points and collected six rebounds. Fortin scored all 12 of his points from beyond the arc. Max Hoetzel, the Indiana commit, was the fourth Titan in double figures with 10.
Ahearn, the nephew of former NBA veteran/coach and Springfield native Vinny Del Negro, led the Knights with 12 points and seven boards. Murdock chipped in 11.
Wilbraham & Monson will host the three seed Kimball Union of Meriden, N.H. on Saturday afternoon at home. If the Titans defeat the Wildcats, they will advance to the NEPSAC Class AA finals to play the winner of top-seeded St. Andrew's (R.I.) and No. 4 Cushing (Mass.) on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Endicott College in Beverly.

Vehicular assault arrests made in T-bone collision
Bellevue Police believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in an early morning collision near the Redmond border on the 3100 block of 148th Avenue Northeast involving two vehicles where both drivers were arrested for vehicular assault.
A 29-year-old Bellevue man was reportedly driving his Acura SUV at a high rate of speed southbound on 148th Avenue Northeast around 2 a.m. Thursday when it collided with the passenger side of a Ford Taurus that was making a left turn into an apartment complex causing the 55-year-old passenger from Bellevue serious, but non-life threatening injuries, according to police. He was transported to Overlake Medical Center.
The drivers of the Acura and the Taurus, a 57-year-old Redmond man, were both arrested for vehicular assault and booked into the King County Jail following evaluation at Overlake. Vehicular assault is used in vehicular collisions where recklessness and/or impairment are believed to be a factor, and both drivers are believed to have been driving under the influence, police report.
The southbound lanes of 148th were closed until 6:10 a.m.

It's a no brainer everyone needs "The Winter Coat", most of the time no one cares if they are stylish when it's 20 degrees outside. But, for those of you who still want to look great when the wind is blowing you away I'm with you. Whether it's a pair of playful gloves or layering 3 different textures of clothing to keep warm over the coat the wind will not be a bother. One thing I enjoy about the winter is giving life to what I wear underneath my coat. My favorite way is add layers I love to go with a simple turtleneck top, second a light striped sweater and a playful printed blazer and with final touches add brown leather gloves and of course, the coat.

Millerstown's mayor and borough secretary attended their last meeting in official capacity on Dec. 19.
John Kerns has served the borough for 12 years. His wife Mary was secretary for 10. He elected not to run for a third term. She had decided to give up what for her was a second job, squeezed around her full-time day job.
"It's been a fun trip for 10 years," John Kerns said. "We're going to miss you and we appreciate your cooperation over the years."
Kerns said some of his most memorable times as mayor were conducting wedding ceremonies. Over the years, he married 32 couples in varying locations, from the Zembo Mosque to the banks of the Juniata River.
One is dearest to his heart though. "I married my oldest daughter, Barbara, and Jamie Franklin in 2001," he said.
Newly elected Mayor William Ritzman will take the reins in the new year and Karen Nellinger will take over as secretary.

On the Yellow Brick Road to Health
Happy Monday, guys!
As we face a new week, we cannot wipe our slates clean, but we can put our feet forward and set firmly on the road to health.
People ask me, "does it get easier?" I often answer unhesitatingly with a resounding, "yes!"
Now I wonder if it's not so much that it gets easier, or if we just get accustomed to pushing through our own weaknesses; accustomed to the exhaustion that the road inevitably entails from time to time; accustomed to spontaneous visits from skeletons in the closet and old demons who pop out from behind trees; accustomed to the forks in the road — the whole 'every thing is a choice' mentality; and accustomed to the calm and redemption that comes from realizing that no matter how rough it gets or how tired we get, there is no turning back — this is a one-way path, and we're only moving forward.
Well, you can stay around here while I speak abstractly and allusively…
or you can check out one of my favorite blogs, A Weight Lifted, which so kindly did an interview post with me today here
Here's to a wonderful week, guys!

Jets' Mark Sanchez Has Labrum Tear In Shoulder
The New York Jets may have seen the last of QB Mark Sanchez. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported late last night that the embattled quarterback has a torn labrum in his right shoulder, and whether he opts to get it now or sometime in the future, he's likely to require surgery.
While Sanchez is still weighing his options, he's currently planning to rehab his shoulder. A labrum tear would take well over a month to rehab into game shape, and by the time he recovers enough to be medically cleared to play, the season could already be over.
"If I needed surgery right now, I never would have left Andrews' office. I would've stayed and got the surgery," Sanchez said via text message to Mortensen.
Sanchez suffered the injury when coach Rex Ryan decided to put him in the fourth quarter of a meaningless preseason game. The initial prognosis was that it was a day-to-day injury, but that soon became multiple weeks. Now it looks like it's going to be more than a month, at the very least.
Sanchez appeared to be in the lead for the starting job at quarterback over rookie Geno Smith, but Ryan was forced to throw Smith into the fray in Week 1 with Sanchez out. If Smith continues to show improvement after the Jets' upset win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he could have the job completely locked up by the time Sanchez even returns.
It seems that Sanchez has already played his last snap with the Jets, and it's highly unlikely that they'll bring him back next year as it has become increasingly clear over the last couple of months that his time in New York is coming to an end. He can also kiss his days as a starting quarterback goodbye.

It was a tough first period Thursday night at Philips Arena for Devils center Travis Zajac, who was hit in the foot by a Mathieu Schneider shot. Zajac also took a pair of hooking penalties.
Zajac had to limp off after being struck by Schneider's shot with 1:48 left. He was in obvious pain on the Devils bench but returned to the ice very quickly. It was then that he took his second hooking penalty of the period.
Martin Brodeur kept the game scoreless through the first. He stopped Eric Perrin alone in front at 3:41 after a Devils giveaway and made a pad save on Todd White at 4:21.
The crowd was extremely small, the second straight home game for the Thrashers in which the stands seemed almost empty.
"I don't know if attendance was a problem," Bobby Holik said of his days in Atlanta. "It always picked up after New Year's when college football, the NFL and the Braves were done. After New Year's it was always good."

Tennis team closes season against Liberty
Mount Si's tennis team closed out the season on Friday, May 8, falling to Liberty.
The Wildcats' lone winners were in doubles, as Evelyn Sisk and Tristan Taylor rallied from a set down to win the second set. The pair then fought Liberty's Anna Dalgardno and Audrey LaFraugh hard through a marathon third set, winning the decisive frame 16-14 to post the match victory.
The Patriots took the other eight matches. There were some nice efforts by Mount Si in those defeats, especially by Jodie Magnuson, Bailey Barnard and Natalie Knoetgen, all of whom gave their Liberty opponents challenges before falling.
Barnard and Kaitlyn Usselman fought well in their doubles match with Liberty's Amber Eastham and Nicole Smith, but Mount Si's best fell 8-6 to the Liberty pair.
In other action, the Wildcats fared well against Interlake Monday, May 4, winning three matches. Winners included Jodie Magnuson and Alix Crandell in singles, and the doubles pair of Anne Yang and Natalie Knoetgen. Against Issaquah Tuesday, May 7, Mount Si was swept, with Magnuson and Kaitlyn Usselman faring the best against Eagle opposition.

The hosts were excellent. Picked us up and drove us back to the port and the home cooked food was excellent. Breakfast and dinner were served when we required so they were very accommodating.
Chic design, with some amazing features such as the glass walled shower/en-suite in the bedroom.
Not so good for a mother and daughter sharings, no twin beds and the exposed bathroom didn't exactly allowed for privacy. The food in the restaurant was poor, the only thing that let the hotel down. Vela Luka unfortunately didn't have much to offer.
I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff, the design of the room, and the breakfast each morning. I especially enjoyed the sauna.
I would have liked to use more of the facilities in the spa portion of the hotel such as the steam room, the hot tub, and whatever the water beds were in the separate room.

One after the other Thursday, tearful survivors stood up in Jefferson Parish courtroom and lashed out at a Honduran immigrant who was convicted last week of three murders inside a Marrero bar, attacking him for being in the United States illegally and hinting of hopes that he will be abused in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.
But the son-in-law of one of the victims was most direct in expressing his opinion of Rigoberto Funes, 21, who was convicted last week of three counts of second-degree murder in the Oct. 30, 2008, deaths of Wallace Gomez, 78, Wayne Hebert, 64, and Jeffrey Camardelle, 71. Wallace's brother, Beuford Wallace, 75, also was killed, but Funes wasn't prosecuted for his death.
"You, my friend, are a piece of crap, you understand?" Don Lambert, a son-in-law of Wallace Gomez, told Funes, who speaks little or no English and listened to the testimony unfold through an interpreter.
Judge John Molaison of the 24th Judicial District Court ordered Funes to serve three consecutive, or back-to-back life prison sentences, an impossibility if not a political statement. Life without parole is the mandatory sentence for second-degree murder in Louisiana. In his confession, Molaison noted in explaining the consecutive sentences, Funes said he was driven to participate in the robbery to get money for bills.
"This obviously was, Mr. Funes, a senseless crime," Molaison said.
Funes is the first of five men to be tried in case. His brother, Mario Funes, 30, Jose Cornejo-Garcia, 24, Pedro Navarrete Duran, 31, and Renil Escobar-Rivera, 30, also are charged with three counts of second-degree murder. Escobar-Rivera, the alleged mastermind behind the robbery, is scheduled to be tried next month. They're accused of trying to rob Gomez's Bar because its owners cashed checks for customers and was thought to keep large amounts of cash on hand. The robbery turned into a gunfight with Wallace Gomez.
They were in the United States illegally, a point not lost on Wallace Gomez's family.
"What gives you the right to come into our country and not work?" Alita Gomez Leblanc, one of Wallace Gomez's daughters, asked Funes.
She said she thinks Funes should have received a death sentence, "a slow, torturous one as well." She read a letter written by her son, Drew Leblanc, a first lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force who is stationed in Germany, who said his ancestors also immigrated to the United States.
"The only difference was they did it legally," Drew Leblanc wrote. "They worked hard. They learned English."
Another of Wallace Gomez's three daughters who testified Thursday, Bridget Lambert, noted the five innocent pleas. "Now the families have to relive it over and over, five times," she said of five trials.
Looking directly at the youthful Funes, Lambert noted "that pretty little face of yours" and how it will attract convicts at Angola - comments that drew snickers from some in the audience.
Betty Camardelle recounted how she and her husband, Jeffrey Camardelle, reached their 50th wedding anniversary five days before he was killed. She said she prays she is able to forgive Funes.
"It's not easy," she said. "It's something I'm still working on."

MARSHALL - Amidst unfamiliar surroundings Friday night, the Marshall girls' basketball team produced a familiar result.
Rather than the traditional orange and black garbed fans filling the seats inside Marshall High School, the patrons were instead draped in pink. The Tigers had dedicated the night, dubbed "Ballin' for Beret," in support of 2006 MHS graduate and former Tiger basketball player Beret Rysdahl, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in September.
The Tigers produced an inspired effort in their 62-35 dismantling of Southwest Conference rival Luverne, something that head coach Dan Westby had been hoping for considering the circumstances.

Marshall's Kelsey Saugstad (13)?releases a 3-point shot during the first half of Friday night's Southwest Conference game against Luverne at Marshall High School
"One of the things that we talked to our kids about was the fact that a lot of people put a lot of time and energy into this night, the job our kids had was to come out and play hard," he said.
Marshall's energy level was evident from the outset of the contest, especially on the defensive end. The Tigers (7-0 overall, 4-0 SWC) had three extended runs in the first half allowing Marshall to take a 41-15 lead into the locker room.
A 10-0 run after Luverne tied the score at 2-2, gave the Tigers a 12-2 lead four minutes into the game. The Tigers followed up with a 7-0 run, featuring three baskets by Sarah Andersen in 25 seconds.
Fact Box
Luverne (35)
Tayla Peterson 1 0-0 2, Kaitlin Wohnoutka 3 0-0 9, McKayla Schilling 4 1-3 9, Alex Stanley 0 2-2 2, Lexi Rust 2 0-2 4, Allison Dohlmann 1 1-3 3, Morgan Haugen 2 0-0 6. Totals 13 4-10 35. 3-pointers 5 (Wohnoutka 3).
Marshall (62)
Sarah Buysse 1 1-2 3, Morgan Saugstad 2 2-2 6, Kelsey Saugstad 3 0-0 8, Kenzie Beekman 6 1-2 13, Hannah Bennett 2 5-6 9, Jenna Christianson 0 2-2 2, Callie Graff 3 1-2 7, Sarah Andersen 4 0-0 8, Jackie Petrich 2 2-2 6. Totals 23 14-18 62. 3-pointers 2 (K. Saugstad 2) Rebounds 36 (Beekman 14) Assists 6 Steals 13 (K. Saugstad 4).
Halftime Score: Marshall 41, Luverne 15
Marshall then went into shut-down mode, holding the Cardinals scoreless for over eight minutes of game time during an 18-0 run. Most of the scoring during that run came from Marshall forward Kenzie Beekman, who was tenacious on the offensive glass and was the only player to crack 10 points with her game-high 13. She also led the Tigers with 14 rebounds to complete her double-double.
"Kenzie did a nice job rebounding and with put-backs and was able to get us some baskets there inside, which we sorely need," Westby said.
The Cardinals added a couple baskets to close out the first half, which, despite the near 30-point lead, was not a perfect 18 minutes of basketball for the Tigers.
"I think the biggest issue in the first half was we were too spastic with the ball at times, we didn't take care of the ball," Westby said. "We got a little bit careless. (Luverne) started out in a zone (defense) then went to a man, and we adjusted to that fairly well but, like I said, we just didn't slow down and see what was there. We rushed things a little bit."
Neither team shot well to start the second half, though the Tigers did have a 6-0 run in the opening 6 minutes, 54 seconds. Marshall would extend its lead to 52-18 halfway through the half, then turned the game over to its bench.
"It was good to get everybody in and everybody got some quality minutes," Westby said. "We need to look to extend our bench a little bit and get some kids in. I thought Jackie Petrich came in and played hard for us tonight."
Petrich was one of seven Tigers to score at least six points for Marshall, who saw every available player check in while keeping the lead over Luverne (5-3, 2-1) by at least 20 points.
The ability to unload the bench on Friday should aid the Tigers in their next contest, as they travel to Mankato today for an important section showdown with the Mankato East Cougars.
"East, they present some match-up problems for us," Westby said. "They're a big team and they've got a very skilled point guard. It's a tough match-up for us. Going to their place will be difficult.
"We just need to continue defending like we have been defending. Again tonight we held (our opponent) in the 30s. We always feel that if we are able to keep the score low it gives us an advantage."

I am a little surprised that there wasn't a hair styling tool dedicated to Jasper's hair! What do you think TwiFans, will you be buying some of these??

That's Legit .
Um, not to be rude or anything, but it just sounds like yet another company cashing in on Twilight's success, fame, and popularity. But it sounds so easy, doesn't it? Twilight equals big money - near anything with its logo on it or relating to the cast brings in the bucks - so the companies figure it like this: if it is Twilight, the public's gonna eat it up, especially the fans.
Which is quite wrong. I hope a least some Twilight fans don't go for things like that, and can sense when a company's just wanting their money and plans to get it by putting their favorite movie/book logo (cast, ect.) on the cover. Dude, I saw something that was Twilight CONDOMS. What the ****?
Stephenie Meyer is a mormon, and there's only sex in Breaking Dawn when Edward and Bella's married, and yet condoms are put out? That right there is why a lot of people who aren't fans assume that the fans are wacked in the head!

Four Rules of
Know Yourself
Before you step out on the trail, it's really important to be honest with yourself about your hiking capabilities. If you attempt a longer or tougher hike than you are prepared for, you not only put yourself at risk of injury, but also those that have to come help you. Start with easy hikes and build your way up. Hiking is great exercise and fun!
Know the Trail
Prior to your hike, you can use the vast resources of the internet to research information about the trail you're planning to explore. You can learn everything from weather, terrain, elevation and even the best places to stop for a photo. Print out a trail map at home and check the weather so you can dress accordingly. Read reviews from others who've hiked before you...you might just pick up a handy tip (like BRING BUG SPRAY!!).
Know Your Gear
Standing in the middle of a beautiful scene is NOT the place to be reading through your instruction booklet. Invest a little time reading at home and take a few minutes to watch the on-line "how-to" videos for your camera. You'll be much happier taking pictures in the field than you will be reading about how your camera works. This goes not only for your camera gear, but your first-aid kit as well. The more you know your gear, the better you'll be able to use it when you need it.
- Know the "Deal"
Everyone, young and old should know the "deal" which is: we are guests in our nation's parks, we need to be conscious to do no harm and leave no trace of our presence. Carving your initials in a tree is a bad thing...pestering animals is a terrible thing. Your responsibility is to protect the natural world as you are enjoying it. Stay on marked trails. You can't take home souvenirs, or pick wild flowers; and you have to be really responsible with your camp fires. Let's all just take photos and memories home.

Lansing police Capt. Mike Yankowski said officers were dispatched to Metro Bowl, 5141 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., on a reported shooting at about 1 a.m. on Saturday.
Officer arrived and found a 28-year-old woman shot. She had sustained a bullet wound to the lower leg while on the dance floor at the bowling alley, Yankowski said.
Police interviewed the victim and other witnesses, who told officers some type of argument took place and led to gunfire.
Yankowski said multiple suspects discharged guns, either upward in the air or toward the dance floor.
Witness accounts of shots fired varied from three to 20 rounds, Yankowski said.
The suspects are described as black men, in the mid-20s to late-30s.
Yankowski said the city of Lansing's Building Department has closed the bowling alley's bar area indefinitely due to gunfire damage that caused dripping water near an electrical outlet.
An inspection is pending.
The victim is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries at a local hospital, Yankowski said.
The investigation is ongoing.

One problem with the Affordable Care Act conversation is too often people repeat the talking points and sometimes biased opinions of the media, rather than dealing with facts.
Becky Bartlett (Nov. 10 letter) seems to paint with a broad brush when she suggests the reason private insurance policies are being canceled is because they are "junk policies." Not all canceled policies are "junk policies." It is misleading and deceptive to suggest this.
My husband and I purchased our health insurance for many years from a group health insurance plan serving people in the health care profession. It was what some might call a "Cadillac plan" and by no means a "junk policy." We, along with 400 other families with the same plan, were informed that due to language in the ACA, the group was no longer able to offer the policy we had. We were offered a alternate policy: one with far less coverage, limited choices for physicians and hospitals, and, of course, a higher premium. To retain the virtually unlimited coverage we had previously, we were forced to leave the group health insurance plan and purchase an individual policy out in the market. Thankfully, we purchased a policy that provides the identical coverage as prior to cancellation.
Don't be deceived by the misinformed who suggest only "junk policies" are being canceled.
Once upon a time, we and the 400 other families in our group plan had a health insurance policy that met all of the criteria required by the Affordable Care Act. We liked our policy and our doctor. Yet we weren't allowed to keep them. What happened and why?

Focussing here on local authorities and health services, this paper examines the significance of new technology to unskilled work in the public sector as it is developing and the implications for workplace learning. An argument is developed that new technology is central to a minority of examples of job change, although, significantly, it is more important to staff–initiated change and to workers' ability to fully participate in life beyond the workplace.

Cold, snow, cold, flurries and more snow.
That's what the New York Mets have been encountering on their last two road trips to Minnesota and currently Colorado.
The Mets were snowed out on Sunday in Minnesota and got snowed out again in Colorado on Monday, prompting SILive.com user hotdogcart to write, "Could It be the end of Global warming?" which is the "Sports Comment of the Day."
The Mets and Rockies will try to make up the game on Tuesday with a split double-header, but guess what? More snow is in the forecast with temperatures in the upper 20s and low 30s.
Certainly, this is not baseball weather. It's more ideal for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets instead of the Mets and Rockies.
So I ask, wouldn't it be wise for Major League Baseball to place the cold-weather teams on the road on the West Coast or in domes the first two weeks of the baseball season?
Or do they want a number of snowouts and cold-weather games that have been taking place the first 12-13 games of the season?
If not, then start the season a little later and reduce the schedule to 148 or 152 games. The baseball season, I feel, is too long to begin with.
So what do you think Staten Island baseball fans? Have any ideas to add? Let us know by sounding off below!

I just was wondering what gyms are in bluffton? I also wanted to know if you can get day passes to them or not? I remember golds gym was there, but i guess it is closed now. Thanks for the help.
There is one in the Sea Turtle Cinema area, on the top floor. They pulled a scam and got a ton of people pre-signed up and never opened until months later, and then enforced the contract, and sent some people including myself to collections for not attending after it had been pushed back several months. In any event they are one, there is also one in the Sheridan Park Area between the Sonic and the DMV it's called BreakThrough Fitness. From what I hear they are very good. Hope this helps.
I've had a membership for 2 years (although only used the Hilton Head facility). They do have day passes for a small fee. Great if you're looking to try something out without a commitment. I've belonged to Gold's (hated it) and the YMCA previously, and Breakthrough has em' beat.
They even froze my account while I was pregnant (meaning I didn't have to pay the monthly membership fee), but I'm still a member and will re-activate in September without having to ay another "join fee". God knows I need it now and will use the Bluffton/Sheridan Park location.
I was thinking about checking out Tourque and possibly switching since it is closer than Breakthrough, but after the above post, I think I'll stay where I am. Wasn't Tourque supposed to be a women's only gym?
Torque is the one I was talking bad about, because I know several people who had the same hastle when Torque decided not to open on time, and then forced people to stick to their original contracts once the doors opened to get the money rolling in. It was a joke because we had already taken membership elsewhere because we were getting put off constantly.
Did you ever look to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau?
If they couldn't provide you with gym services, but forced you to pay (via collection threats), then it seems like a clear breach of contract on their part. I wouldn't walk away so quietly.
I am thinking of an early/mid fall trip to Bluffton, SC---when it is nice and cool. That is if all goes well. Is there a gym in Golds Gym's place? I guess its a vacation, lol- so I should relax..owell.

Naughty Dog footage 'genuine'
Responding to criticisms in the media, Naughty Dog's Evan Wells has told US games site IGN.com that the footage shown of their new project at E3 was 'genuine'; not a pre-rendered 'target' version or anything like that. Apparently, several attendees were so impressed with the detail of the visuals demonstrated at the expo that they concluded the trailer wasn't running in real-time, or indeed representative of the game's present status. Wells vigorously denies this.
"All of the models, textures, shaders and effects are in-game," the developer insisted, assuring IGN's readers that the footage shown was indicative of Naughty Dog's brand-spanking new PS3 game engine. The as-yet unnamed project is a third-person action adventure game with a heavy emphasis placed upon story. The footage shown demonstrated a lush jungle setting, reminiscent of Far Cry, but even prettier.
In an effort to deliver a highly polished title, the predicted mix of combat, puzzle-solving, exploration and exposition will be complimented by a camera designed by the man behind Prince of Persia's camera system. The game has been in the works for a year and a half thus far, and animation is also a focus as it's "something that we think will set next-generation games apart from current-gen," according to Wells. More soon.

Nepotism pays off big time for Totem Pole Playhouse in its wonderfully funny new production of that durable fish-out-of-water comedy, "The Foreigner."
TV star Ken Jenkins, who played the gruff Dr. Bob Kelso for nearly a decade on the sitcom "Scrubs," directs the show and seems to be having a dandy time playing the role of British Army Sgt. "Froggy" LeSeur in Larry Shue's 1984 comedy set in a Georgia fishing resort.
Jenkins used the opportunity to enroll several family members, including son Dan Jenkins, grandson Jesse Jenkins and daughter-in-law Katherine Hiler, all of them making their Totem Pole debuts.
But this is not a case of showcasing no-talent relatives. Far from it. Dan Jenkins was nominated for a Tony Award in 1985 for his work in the Broadway hit "Big River," while Hiler performed on Broadway in Robert Schenkkan's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, "The Kentucky Cycle."
In this family group, only high schooler Jesse Jenkins lacks professional credentials, but he proves to have a touch of the family gift in his portrayal of Ellard Simms, the seemingly slow-witted younger brother of grumpy heiress Catherine (Hiler).
Dan Jenkins has the plum role of Charlie, a shy proofreader for a science-fiction magazine who is depressed because his adulterous wife is apparently dying. He reluctantly accompanies Froggy for a three-day visit to the grits-soaked Southern lodge owned by elderly widow Betty Meeks.
Portraying Betty is Jill Larson, a veteran actor probably best known for her long-running role as nutty Opal Cortlandt on the soap opera "All My Children," for which she has received two Emmy Award nominations.
The premise of "The Foreigner" Is admittedly a bit tortured, and takes a good bit of the first act to get up and running. But the comedic payoff is huge, especially in the hands of a cast as talented as the one Totem Pole has assembled.
The idea is that Charlie, sad about the impending demise of his beloved -- and amazingly unfaithful -- wife, doesn't want to talk to anyone, so his friend Froggy concocts a story about how Charlie is a foreigner from a strange land who speaks no English and should be left scrupulously alone by other residents of the lodge.
Charlie at first thinks the idea is silly -- and it really is -- but after being discovered eavesdropping on a sensitive discussion between Catherine and her husband-to-be the Rev. David Lee (Corey Brill, in a wonderfully oily performance), he is virtually forced to embrace it.
And embrace it he does, "learning" rudimentary English words from Ellard and inventing a silly "native" language that seems to be part Eastern Europe with a little pigeon English, body language and a dash of Andy Kaufman's zany "Taxi" mechanic Latka tossed in. As he interacts with the decidedly off-kilter crew at Betty's lodge, they draw him out of his shell as he awakens new life in them.
Dan Jenkins is touchingly hilarious as Charlie, who amazingly learns how to communicate with other people by essentially not being allowed to communicate with them.
The role, which allows for a great deal of creative, non-verbal acting and personal initiative within the character's framework, has appealed to many top actors, including Tony winner Matthew Broderick, who starred as Charlie in an acclaimed 2004 revival on Broadway.
There are a lot of uproariously funny moments in "The Foreigner," an essentially joyful experience that even in its silliest moments -- and there are more than a few of those -- does not lose sight of the fragile humans at its center.
Betty, a warmhearted if naive soul, tries to make up for Charlie's lack of English by yelling loudly at him -- and doesn't that sound familiar? -- while Charlie and Ellard interact with elaborately ridiculous pantomimes which sometimes involve placing drinking glasses on their heads.
Especially clever is a subplot about an evil Ku Klux Klan scheme to take over the lodge by nefarious means and rid the county of "undesirables," a group that most definitely includes Charlie. This could easily become ludicrous, as hooded Klan members storm the lodge, but Shue keeps it menacing while allowing Charlie to save the day. Charlie's "dance of death" on the dining room table is epic comedy.
Leading the KKK charge is the hate-filled Owen Musser, played with scary conviction by Shippensburg University theatre professor Paris Peet. Musser's over-the-top bigotry is squirm-inducing, while the exact role of the smarmy Rev. Lee in the plot remains a bit murky for much of the show before being revealed, ah, explosively.
Shue's comedy is sweet and very smartly written, poking fun without mocking. It can be done well at just about any level, and indeed remains a popular choice at community, regional and stock theaters nationwide.
But it really shines in the hands of talented professionals such as the crew Totem Pole has assembled for this production, which opened Friday night and runs through Aug. 3 at the venerable summer stock theater in Caledonia Stage Park.
"The Foreigner" may just be a Jenkins family picnic on one level, but they are providing audiences with a delicious buffet of comedic acting skills.

WHEN: Through Aug. 3

Winning Ways
If only the Brewers could play the Cubs more often. Milwaukee continued their winning ways against Chicago with a 3-1 win on Wednesday night pushing their streak over the northsiders to eight straight games. The Brewers have also won eight out of their last nine games and are now 13-3 against the Cubs this year. Mike Fiers had another solid outing on the mound scattering three hits over seven and a third innings of work while striking out six and allowing just one run. Jean Segura had quite the night for the crew in a variety of areas on the field. The recently acquired shortstop robbed Alphonso Soriano by making a great effort deep behind third base and making an amazing throw to first. He then gave the Brewers the lead in the 7th inning with a base hit to center field that score Nyjer Morgan. Segura capped off the inning by stealing second base, and when the Cubs had two subsequent throwing errors, he scored the final run of the night. Game four of the series is Wednesday afternoon with Shawn Marcum on the mound for Milwaukeee.

Tonight the Portland School Board began deconstructing next year's budget, evaluating recommendations and debating changes to Superintendent Carole Smith's $415 million general fund proposal.
The board raised questions about outside consultants and Outdoor School, expressed disappointment about the lack of districtwide arts leadership and asked for increased summer school opportunities for disadvantaged students.
Board members repeatedly acknowledged that the district and board were facing difficult choices. The board is to approve the 2009-10 budget at an afternoon meeting next week.
"When you cut $32 million out of the budget in a year when you're already spending 20 percent less per student than in 1990, it is impossible to do that in a way that is painless," said David Wynde, board finance committee chairman. "There are whole sets of areas where we wish we could do so much more."
The district needs to make about $32 million in reductions in order to balance its budget for 2009-10. District officials expect next year's budget to be about 6 percent less than this year's of about $443 million.
Smith suggested using salary freezes, staff furlough days, central office reductions and reserves to counter the expected shortfall.
The Citizens Budget Review Committee largely agreed with the use of reserves and the idea of "shared sacrifice" to help Portland Public Schools weather the economic downturn.
But the group of 10 students, parents and community members said the district needs to look more closely at staff salary freezes and health insurance changes with the district's teachers.
In their report tonight, committee members said they agreed with Smith's proposal for nearly all staff to forgo a cost-of-living increase because it helps reach an important goal: protecting kids from the budget fallout.
The committee also suggested that staff step increases, made for each added year of experience, be suspended for next year. That savings could mean staff wouldn't have to take five furlough days, which the committee members argued hit the lowest-paid people the hardest.
"A janitor in a school would be much more adversely affected by a five-day furlough than Superintendent Smith," said committee co-chairman Doug Wells. "We recommend that additional consideration be given to a progressive approach to those reductions."
Rebecca Levison, president of the Portland Association of Teachers, also took issue with Smith's five-day furlough proposal, saying the district is leaning too heavily upon staff to bear budget cuts. She recommended eliminating spending on outside consultants and school business managers and pushing for staff attrition to help save money.
"You have options available to you to realign your priorities," Levison said. "You have options other than balancing the budget on the backs of teachers. We have been there. We have done that and it hasn't worked."
Smith said her budget attempts to reflect the district's values and to make sure no one employee group has to sacrifice more than another.
Smith's recommendations and approximate savings include:
-- Eliminating cost of living increases for most employees: $9 million.
-- Implementing five staff furlough days (does not affect student instructional year): $6 million.
-- Reorganization and reduction at the central administration office: $5 million.
-- Classroom reductions: $2 million.
-- Tapping district reserves: $9 million.

January 31, 2012 - Dave Hecei
The Mac video community is buzzing. Apple has released a major update to Final Cut Pro X (FCPX), which brings it up to version 10.0.3. This latest update to FCPX brings with it many of the missing features that 'pro' video editors have criticized Apple when they dropped the popular Final Cut Studio 7.The biggest news in this update is the return of multi-camera editing, or multicam. With multicam, you can take video from several cameras and sync them together and edit a master track by selecting different camera views. Multicam allows for post-production to simulate live switching. What is shocking is that this update allows FCPX to use up to 64 cameras. This goes far beyond what Studio 7 could do.
Other welcome new features include media relink. This allows an editor to take a project from one computer and work on another computer. Not possible with the old version, the project was locked to the one computer.
There is also a much-improved chroma keying system. This new system allows for much finer control of the key, which allows for much finer detail in the subject. This can be a big time savings by keying inside FCPX instead of having to use a stand-alone App like Apple's Motion or Adobe's After Effects.
To round off this new update are enhanced XML support, which allows for exchanging data from FCPX and other editing or effect packages. Apple also is starting to build-in support for third-party hardware. This included PCIe cards and Thunderbolt devices.
With this new update to FCPX, Apple is showing that it is committed to making FCPX a 'pro' level application. They have a bit more work to help rebuild the bridge they tore down last year, but if the new FCPX is look into the future of Apple Video, then things are looking up.

Fabiano Caruana won an opening double-round robin blitz competition on the eve of the Zurich Chess Challenge, just beating Vladimir Kramnik in the final standings.
The blitz contest came as something of a surprise since there were no hints on the official website that it was even taking place!
A further surprise was the poor showing of world champion Vishy Anand, who is normally known for his prowess at rapid and blitz chess. Despite beating Boris Gelfand in their head-to-head mini-match, he lost all his other games to finish last. The time control was 4 minutes plus 2 second increment.
The final results of the Zurich Blitz competition
At the opening ceremony (l to r): Gelfand, Anand, Kramnik, Caruana
Despite his poor health, Viktor Korchnoi (right) was a guest
Caruana (right) won a crucial game with black against Kramnik
The games were broadcast live, and there are videos available for replay at this link.
The first round of the tournament proper starts today (at 14:00 GMT). Links to the official website's live coverage and commentary can be found here.
Photos via the official website. Results table and games via TWIC.
Interestingly, with a round to spare in the actual main tournament, the players still the identical spots to where they ended this blitz event -- with Caruana on top, Anand at the bottom, and the other two in the middle. Though the differences in classical chess and in points accumulated are ever so subtle unlike here in the blitz event.
good games. congradulations CARUANA
It looks like Anand lost at least two of his games on time (white against Kramnik, and black against Caruana); but was doing reasonably okay in them up to that point chess-wise. So this isn't something to worry about, he's just gotten slower in moving his hands, but his brain is sharp still.
I'm happy to see that Kortchnoi was there! I'm really happy he is recovering from the stroke.
59 minutes ago
I'm sorry, but the first picture really shouldn't be posted here. It's quite horrible. They look like a bunch of mentally disordered guys
They are just "special" ;)
I'd say Blitz favours younger players because of their impulsive nature
I like Caruana!
Anybody with a name that rhymes with marijuana is OK by me!
I'm sorry, but the first picture really shouldn't be posted here. It's quite horrible. They look like a bunch of mentally disordered guys.
Lucky wins
Board blindness probably, and I'm guessing Anand resigned immediately after...
Gooo Caruana! I was hoping it would be Kramnik, but Caruana was my next bet :)
In Anand-Kramnik, 45. Rxb3????? what the hell happened?
Nice job Caruana!

One of our HR-20 is set to record all The Wiggles shows at 9AM on Channel 290.
It's set to save 5 episodes
(As a note...I deleted all of the old Series Records that somehow were wrecked two patches ago when D changed the search criteria to not accept the word "The" in front. At that time both Wiggles Series records I had just stopped recording altogether.)
There are episodes every day Monday through Saturday.
The HR-2- has only picked 1 of the coming episodes to record out of 13 on the schedule.
There are no priority issues and nothing else being recorded at that time.
I checked the show titles there are NO duplicates
Why is this thing NOT recording newer shows and deleting older shows the way it does with other shows? I have changed the setting to unlimited shows...but that's not what I really want. I just want 5 fresh shows on a regular basis.
The existing shows are not set to be permanently kept.
So...any ideas? I'm spending way, way too much time on a pretty simple, basic task for a DVR.
For the few of you who can't resist joking about The Wiggles. The shows are for my two-year old. The group has been doing their stuff for about 17 years and sells out small venues like Madison Square Garden for six straight shows.
Oh, I'd teach my two-year-old how to do a search on the HR-20, but I'm afraid he'll get the title and then description of a porno movie...even though we have those channels blocked. Something else D needs to fix PRONTO.

Editor's note: The author was a Pentagon speechwriter from 2006-08 and an adviser to the 2012 Mitt Romney presidential campaign. If he were a senior adviser to the White House today, these are the remarks he would prepare for President Obama in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings:
My fellow Americans,
It has been 10 days since terrorists attacked innocent Americans at the Boston Marathon. As you are now aware, one of the perpetrators has been killed and the other has been indicted on federal charges.
But we have so many to grieve for. Three Americans lost their lives in the bombings, more than 200 suffered injuries — some will never walk again, many will never live their lives the same way they were when the race started.
Why did this happen? Why did young men who were part of the fabric of this great nation do something so terrible?
Unfortunately, the answer is quite simple.
These suspects wanted to destroy life. While the surviving Tsarnaev brother cites the U.S.-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan as the impetus for the bombings, it is most certainly not because of the brothers' allegiance to Iraqis or Afghanis.
It is because of their allegiance to their brother Muslims — and a desire to strike back at the West on their behalf. This allegiance was converted into hatred because of the mind-altering poison that is radical Islam.
Radical Islam exists only because it is allowed to do so by a great many Muslims who believe in Islamic victimhood. For every time a Muslim anywhere in the world says something like, "I don't agree with what these radicals are doing but I understand why they feel hopeless," another radical is born, another is given justification to cause harm to innocents.
When dissenting moderate Islamists who are in religious or national leadership positions truly abide by their faith in a loving and caring God — when they truly denounce, in their words and in their hearts, the evil carried out by those who distort their faith, only then will we defeat this faceless enemy.
Succeeding in this incredibly difficult endeavor is the only path to true justice for the countless families that suffered a loss last week. For now, we will prosecute Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to the fullest extent of the laws granted us by our Constitution.
A word of caution: The relief we are feeling right now at his captivity and his brother's death should be carefully tempered. We are only just now starting to come to emotional grips with the impact of this terrorist attack on our soil. It is important to celebrate the incredible bravery and selflessness displayed by the first responders and ordinary citizens who saved people's lives last week, to take pride in that American spirit that has overcome so much in our short history. Yet we need to take that thought process a step further.
The existential conversation that we as a people are not yet having with ourselves right now is that Islamic radicals have proved to us that they will not quit. From the first bombing at the World Trade Center, to the USS Cole, to Sept. 11, to Benghazi, to today — they are out there, they hate us, and they have no intention of giving up.
Nor should we. I pledge to have the hard conversations with Middle Eastern leaders in the coming months. I pledge to put the screws to those harboring terrorists in training camps, or in comfortable homes, on their soil. I pledge to meet with Islamic leaders throughout the world to help them identify and bring back to the peaceful Islamic faith those of their followers who exhibit signs of or have fallen prey to extremist beliefs. I pledge to work closely with Zuhdi Jasser and the American Islamic Forum for Democracy to encourage American Muslims to celebrate their American way of life.
I pledge to keep you safe from another attack.
Our American identity is at stake. There is nothing more important.
Thank you, God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

Try saying the word "degustation" without sounding like a snob. It's nearly impossible. Why? Probably because it comes from French (meaning a sampling of a chef's signature dishes via multiple small courses, often paired with different wines), because it's served almost exclusively in fine dining restaurants and let's face it, it's darn expensive.
But not all degustations are so hoity toity. Take The Aviary's Matilda Bay Beer Dinner. It's a six-course degustation meal pairing Executive Chef Telina Menzies's best dishes with beer from Matilda Bay Brewery. It's all of the flavour and adventure of a degustation without any of the elitism.
Matilda Bay Brewery was established in1984 in North Fremantle, selling small batches at the Sail & Anchor in Fremantle. It may now be based out of Melbourne, but it's as popular as ever.
The Aviary's degustation menu is out to prove it – one course at a time. First up is a seafood dish served with the Redback Original, a Hefeweizen-style beer that's been around for almost 30 years. It's that good.
The next four rounds match courses poultry, pork, lamb and beef with the Fat Yak (American Pale Ale), Bohemian Pilsner (Czech Pilsner), Alpha Pale Ale (an even stronger American Pale Ale) and Big Helga (Munich Lager).
If you can manage the last course, you'll taste chef Menzies's chocolate dessert, paired with the Dogbolter, a Munich-style darker lager that has a unique flavour of caramel, chocolate and toffee.
After a meal like this, we're willing to bet you'll never roll your eyes at the word "degustation" again.

By Patrick Mauro
Within the last 48 hours, the rift between Denver Broncos' new coach Josh McDaniels and quarterback Jay Cutler grew from slight to severe. The conflict stems from the fact that the 32-year old McDaniels talked with his old team the New England Patriots about trading his Pro Bowl quarterback and the face of the franchise plus the 12th pick in next month's draft for quarterback Matt Cassell - the guy who hadn't started a game since high school, seven years ago, before Tom Brady's sabbatical to recover from a knee injury (and hang with a super model). Trading Cutler straight up for Cassell is asinine, but throwing in the 12th overall pick as well should be grounds for immediate dismissal.
According to "that big sports network" one unnamed source (I hate unnamed sources) claims that during a conference call earlier this week McDaniels was unwilling to give Cutler the assurances he expected to hear, instead choosing the rhetoric that no one is immune from the possibility of being traded, leading the quarterback to contemplate not showing up for off-season conditioning. A second unnamed source disputes this, claiming all is copasetic in Colorado. The truth surely lies somewhere in the middle, but I'm leaning towards source number one.
My first inclination is to say Josh McDaniels should simply walk into Broncos owner Pat Bowlen's underground lair and resign right now, but often in sports the wrong person takes the heat for ineptitude. Think of Matt Millen, the former general manager of the Detroit Lions who should go down as the all-time worst at his job in NFL history if not all of professional sports (on this planet or any other). He took the heat from picketing fans, a-hole bloggers, and was ridiculed so badly he got hired by "that big sports network" – but what about the individual whose decision it was to allow Millen, at high speed, to run the franchise into a tree? That would be William Clay Ford Jr., who himself was busy running the Ford Motor Company into that same tree. Why don't fans hold owners more responsible?
Which brings me back to Bowlen, a guy who accepted mediocrity for a decade from Mike Shanahan because the former coach delivered two Lombardi Trophies – with a little help from a guy named Elway. With Cutler, plus the socially problematic but extremely talented Brandon Marshall and a rebuilt offensive line, the future of the offense, without Shanahan, appeared solid. That is until Bill Belichick's former assistant took over. In his brief tenure, McDaniels has signed a lot of new (new doesn't mean better) names to the defense along with alienating his biggest star. It's now Bowlen's job to make this situation right.
And why the titillation with guys who have worked for the Patriots dictator? He's a complete control freak to the point where you have to wonder how much of their job any Belichick assistant is allowed to do (I can picture the Pat's coach manning the cheat-cam himself). It's not like Belichick's disciples have had much success when leaving New England – Romeo Crennel failed in Cleveland, Charlie Weis is making Notre Dame fans look back fondly at the Jerry Faust/Bob Davie years, and Spygate-tattle tail Eric Mangini was canned by the Jets (although that probably had more to do with Brett Favre than anything else, and he did replace Crennel in Cleveland). Not sure what inspired Bowlen to hire McDaniels. We've all known people who interview well, but are then less than inspiring on the job. Maybe he rocked the interview. There's definitely a trend towards hiring younger guys (doubt it breaks anyone's heart Marty Schottenheimer can't get a job). Mike Tomlin just won the Super Bowl at 36, Jon Gruden won it all at age 38, but time may prove Bowlen hired the wrong youngster. He interviewed, and should have hired, 32-year old Raheem Morris, former defensive backs coach in Tampa Bay and now Gruden's replacement as head coach of the Bucs.
For the sake of the franchise, Bowlen must channel his inner Jerry Jones, get involved, and figure out a way to smooth things over between McDaniels and Cutler. If he can't or won't do that, 2009 could be a year to forget in the Rockies.

This is a new non-profit designed to have pets assist people in need. These pets have helped children improve their reading skills by being there to be a non-critical listener. As this organization grows, it will involve many other types of pet therepy assistance. The director is a non-stop giver.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
improved reading skills for children who were originally very poor readers.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
never be able to give it the time and energy given by the person who is now in charge.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the giving nature of all involved.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
all happy to contribute their time and money to make this successful.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
assist the underprivlidged by use of animals to assist in many varied areas.
Ways to make it better...
I involved myself more.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
financial constraints.
One thing I'd also say is that...
this is a most deserving organization that has the ability to grow and grow.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Nick Swanberg, of Baldwinsville holds up a 20-pound catfish he caught recently near the Three Rivers area.
He wrote: "It's not everyday you see a channel cat like this one pulled out of the water around here and happens to be one of my biggest fish and Ive been fishing my whole life. The other fish that I caught that could rival it was a 46 -inch northern pike I caught in the same spot years ago. I'm an advocate for catch and release so I landed it, took a few photos and let it go on its way, but most people I show the photos to say it's the biggest fish they've ever seen someone catch around here so I'm pretty proud of it.
"I was fishing in Caughdenoy and nothing was biting so I decided to head to the spot nearThree Rivers that I knew of. I set up everything and within 5 minutes I had this fish hooked, my buddy didn't even have his pole in the water yet, it took about 10-15 minutes to land and once in the net it almost broke it, When we got it on land my buddy and I
looked at each other and were like "no way" This thing was huge!! I caught it using a simple bobber and bass shiner combination."
"I just want others to know we do have river monsters out here and I know there's

Applications due Feb. 22 for Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health
Washington University in St. Louis is hosting a Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health, June 3-7, 2013. There is no application or registration fee; accepted applicants are expected to fund their own travel.
Supported by the National Institutes of Health (Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research in partnership with the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Mental Health) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, this five-day training institute will provide a thorough grounding in conducting dissemination and implementation (D&I) research in health.
Faculty and guest lecturers will consist of leading experts (practitioners and teachers) in theory, implementation and evaluation approaches to D&I, creating partnerships and multi-level, transdisciplinary research teams, research design, methods and analyses appropriate for D&I investigations and conducting research at different and multiple levels of interventions (e.g., clinical, community, policy).
Participants will be expected to return to their home institutions prepared to share what they have learned at the institute to help grow the field of D&I research (e.g., giving talks, leading seminars, forming new collaborations, mentoring, and submitting D&I grant proposals etc.).
Eligibility & Application Requirements
This training is designed for investigators at any career stage interested in conducting D&I research. To be eligible, participants must NOT have received R18, R01 or R01-equivalent funding as a principal investigator for D&I research. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate experience with, or potential for, working effectively in transdisciplinary teams and who have strong partnerships with—or are embedded within—healthcare delivery, public health or community-based networks. The institute seeks a balance of junior and senior investigators, with the overall goal of bringing new people into the field of D&I research.
Applications are due by Feb. 22, 2013. For complete eligibility and application requirements, visit:
About Dissemination and Implementation Research
One of the most critical issues impeding improvements in public health today is the enormous gap between what we know can optimize health and healthcare and what actually gets implemented in every day practice. The science of dissemination and implementation seeks to address this gap by understanding how to best ensure that evidence-based strategies to improve health and prevent disease are effectively delivered in clinical and public health practice.
Dissemination research: Dissemination research is the systematic study of processes and factors that lead to widespread use of an evidence-based intervention by the target population. Its focus is to identify the best methods that enhance the uptake and utilization of the intervention.1
Implementation research: Implementation research seeks to understand the processes and factors that are associated with successful integration of evidence-based interventions within a particular setting (e.g., a worksite or school). Implementation research assesses whether the core components of the original intervention were faithfully transported to the real-world setting (ie, the degree of fidelity of the disseminated and implemented intervention with the original study) and is also concerned with the adaptation of the implemented intervention to the local context.1

Voice: Terry Koscielski, Essexville
It's a dirty, rotten shame that only approximately 4,300 people in Bay City and 900 people in Essexville voted in the Nov. 8 election. What's the problem? Doesn't anybody care anymore?
I thought Bay City's population was around 30,000 and Essexville's population was around 2,700! People just do not care anymore. Bay Metro buses run until almost 11 p.m. Most people could have found a way to the polls, if they cared.
The ones that didn't vote will be the first ones to whine, complain and cry when things go bad. I bet you're not too lazy to get out to the corner store and buy your beer, pop and chips!

DEPTFORD TWP. — The Sixth Avenue Electronics chain has acquired the former Office Depot location here.
The property on Almonesson Road across from the Deptford Mall was acquired for $3.3 million.
Metro Commercial's Rob Cooper represented the Office Depot in the transaction, and R.J. Brunelli represented Sixth Avenue Electronics in the two sale transactions.
"Sixth Avenue Electronics has steadily expanded its presence in the greater Philadelphia area, adding additional stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware as part of the highly competitive home electronics retailing landscape, in part, to fill the void left by Circuit City's demise," said Cooper.
