Four of the eight Great Danes found maltreated and neglected in a Corbett barn last month will visit the Multnomah County animal shelter at noon Monday.
The dogs will remain at the shelter in Troutdale, at 1700 W. Historic Columbia River Highway, in foster care until healthy enough for adoption.
Anyone interested in adopting the dogs, some that have gained as much as 40 pounds since recovering in foster care, can contact Lynn Hemingway of Willamette Valley Great Dane Rescue at 503-452-0975.
"The recovery of these dogs is a great example of how our community's foster families help us save animals' lives," said Animal Services Director Mike Oswald. "They're a huge piece of the reason that we've made such great gains over time in our shelter's live release rates."
To help defray the costs of the eight Great Danes' care, Animal Services has set up a "Great Dane Rescue Fund" on the "Donate" page of its website, multcopets.org.
All eight Great Danes that were abused have received ongoing veterinary care, lab tests and worming treatments. One of the dogs also requires eye surgery.
A man tipped authorities off to the dogs – named Achilles, Envy, Bella, Mila, Capone, Reese, Sterling and Quinn – that were kept in unsafe and dirty conditions in a Corbett barn. A Multnomah County animal services officer went to the barn June 10 and found the dogs emaciated in kennels full of feces and urine.
Katrina Conway and Nathanael Welch, both 32, entered pleas of guilty last week to two counts of second-degree animal neglect. Conway and Welch were sentenced to 12 months of probatio and must pay fines of $300 apiece. They're each barred from having any pets for five years.
Conway told authorities that they had lost their home and had nowhere to go, and the Corbett barn was offered to them, according to court records.
The animal control officer described the stench in the kennels as "overpowering, horrible and disgusting,'' and found several of the Great Danes emaciated and suffering from open wounds and infections, Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Todd Jackson wrote in an affidavit filed in court.
The complainant told the county animal officer that one of the dogs was so thin "he could count every bone in its body,'' the affidavit said.
The couple have a website called Welch Farms about the dogs they breed for adoption.
"One of the hardest parts of our job at Animal Services is seeing cases like these where dogs are suffering in such horrific conditions,'' Oswald said. "Fortunately, we were able to save these dogs and hold their owners responsible."
Oswald thanked Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Nicole Jergovic for her work on the case.
Oswald urged anybody who suspects animal abuse in Multnomah County to contact the shelter at 503-988-7387.
"This case was brought to us by a concerned member of the public," Oswald said. "The community is a huge part of our work, whether it's adopting and fostering animals or investigating allegations of animal abuse."
For more information about fostering or adopting one of the thousands of animals brought to the community's only open-door shelter, go to multcopets.org.

My Great Grandfather Frank Mayerl (1878-1951) married Emily Treasa Weiss (1887-1953). Emily's (or Emelia) parents were John Weiss and Treasa Lehner (1862-1928). I believe Treasa's father was John Lehner. John Mayerl and Annie Steiner both were born in Bohemia. They [and/or their son-also John Mayerl (1829-1912) who married to Anna Padlesack (1840-1908)] came to the United States around 1868. (I found the original travel passport as well as a document, "Intent to be Naturalized" dated 1876 with my grandmothers items when she died.) They arrived at the port of New York. John and Anna were the parents of my Great-Grandfather Frank Mayerl. Any information on any of my relatives would be greatly appreciated! I would especially like to try and find out if any of my Lehner / Mayerl relatives are still alive and would like to contact them! Thanks again! I am researching my mother's side of my family and came across some old letters from cousins in Czechoslovakia (dated 1956 & 1957). The first one was from: Rudolf Lehner, Rokycany 6/I (Place#6), Czechoslovakia and was addressed to my Great-Grandfather Frank Mayerl who lived in Cato, Wisconsin, USA. It was written to my Grandmother Helen (Mayerl) Scott and was signed "With regards from your cousin Rudolph and family." The second letter was from: Pavel Lehner, CSR- Pilsen, Slovanska' and was addressed to my Grandmother Helen (Mayerl) Scott who lived in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, USA. The letter states that Pavel (or Paul??) was nineteen at the time, so would be around 62 right now? He wrote "Every Sunday we come to see my grandparents in Rokycany." I'm assuming Rudolf is his Grandfather, so I don't know if he would be alive yet? Pavel stated in his letter he lived in Pilsen, which was a metropolitan area of West Czechoslovakia. Paul also wrote a portion of the letter to my Mother Cynthia Scott and Aunt Sandra Scott. With the letters their were also three family pictures with names written on the back: (Please excuse any spelling mistakes as these are hand written in German or Czech and I only know English!)

The Buckle went on sale today, and I couldn't resist. Originally sold it last November at 45.36, so to me this looks like a 13% off sale on Buckle.With the price of cotton falling, you'd think Buckle would be going up. I'm betting we'll get a bounce when earnings come out with higher margins.Also, doesn't Buckle like to give special dividends in the fall?Good luck all!
agreed, they are just a bit worse than a coin toss, on average. timing, probably 90% luck.
Like I've said before. You probably aren't going to hit a home run buying BKE at these prices, but you're almost certain to get a base hit. You get enough base hits and you'll do really well over the long haul. Swinging for the fences all the time leads to a lot of strike outs lol.
New target is $34 today, with downgrade

Excerpt from Morgan Stanley economist Stephen Roach's essay today on China's attempt to contain its overheated economy:
Inasmuch as China remains very much a "blended economy" -- a combination of a state- and market-directed system -- the verdict on its current tightening campaign is far from convincing. A shift in monetary policy achieves traction only when the banking system and financial markets are fully developed -- something that is still very much lacking in China today. At the same time, state-owned enterprises -- which continue to account for between 30-40% of the Chinese economy -- behave very differently than private and publicly owned businesses. The former are not motivated by market signals nor influenced by policy actions designed to impact markets. The persistent regionalization of the Chinese economy also complicates any macro tightening campaign, leaving a highly fragmented China largely insensitive to Beijing-directed cooling off measures. Recent punitive actions aimed at regional officials in Inner Mongolia pay lip service to this aspect of the problem but do little to challenge the runaway growth still concentrated in coastal China.
The lack of macro control over a still fragmented Chinese economy is a major glitch in the recent tightening campaign (see my 3 July 2006 essay, "China's Great Contradiction"). Hyper-growth in eight of China's 31 provinces has taken on a life of its own. These regions, which collectively contain about 40% of China's total population, have accounted for 72% of total Chinese GDP growth since 2000. I have been to many of these areas myself and witnessed first hand their explosive growth in infrastructure, urbanization, and capital investment in new plant and equipment. I have also spoken with regional leaders in many of these provinces -- provincial governors, mayors, and bankers who speak of open-ended growth for years to come irrespective of cycles in the national economy. Beijing's macro policy adjustments have done little to arrest the micro aspects of overheating.

Here's a quick checklist of important products for managing bone and joint health. Choose a link to start shopping:
Whether you're trying to prevent bone loss or already living with a bone and joint issue such as osteoporosis or arthritis, there are many foods, supplements and products shown to be effective in building stronger bones and cartilage and reducing joint pain. It's never too early or late to stop bone loss for better posture and fewer fractures down the road.
Available in a variety of forms, look for supplemental nutrients essential for your bone and joint health — including glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM. Learn more about proactive approaches to managing your bone density and health in the Vitamin Guide. (Always remember to talk with your doctor before taking supplements, as different people have different nutritional needs.)
Shop for Nutritional Supplements
Anyone can benefit from taking a multivitamin, but it's even more important if you have bone and joint issues. Pick a multivitamin that best supports the nutrients needed to keep your bones and joints strong such as calcium and vitamin D.
Shop for Multivitamins
Both calcium and vitamin D are critical for protecting your bones and joints. Surveys show 90% of women don't get the recommended amount of calcium daily, with most only getting half of what they need. Low calcium intake, coupled with inadequate vitamin D, greatly increases the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis. Look for bone and joint formulas that include both calcium and vitamin D for optimum impact.
Shop for Vitamins A-Z
Your doctor may have advice on a number of prescription drugs used to help manage bone and joint issues. For simple and efficient ways to manage your prescriptions, be sure to look into pharmacy services like auto refills and free home delivery.
Visit Walmart Pharmacy
Having bone and joint issues means you're familiar with aches and pains, especially in the mornings and late in the day. Find relief with the many over-the-counter medications specially formulated to lessen inflammation and help you move with less pain.

Coast Guard finds 16 violations on Shell ship
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – The U.S. Coast Guard has turned over its investigation of violations on a Royal Dutch Shell PLC Arctic drill ship to the Department of Justice, officials said Friday.
The violations were found after the drilling season when the Noble Discoverer was in dock in Seward, Alaska. Shell's other Arctic drill barge, the Kulluk, remains in a sheltered bay off Alaska's Kodiak Island, where it was towed after grounding on New Year's Eve.
The Coast Guard found 16 violations on the 571-foot Noble Discoverer after it completed drilling this summer in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northern coast.
The violations included fire hazards and problems with the propulsion system that didn't allow the ship to operate at a sufficient speed at sea to safely maneuver in all expected conditions.
Coast Guard Rear Adm. Thomas Ostebo, who oversees Alaska operations, recommended the investigation be forwarded to the U.S. attorney's office, said Lt. Veronica Colbath, a Coast Guard spokeswoman.
Messages left after business hours Friday with the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., and ship owner Noble Corp. in Sugar Land, Texas, which leases the ship to Shell, were not immediately returned.
U.S. Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., detailed the violations Friday, as first reported by the Anchorage Daily News.
Markey also sent a letter to Shell President Marvin Odum asking how the company plans to address problems and what changes will be instituted going forward.
"The reports that Shell may have been drilling this summer using a drill ship with serious deficiencies in its safety and pollution control equipment raise additional and continued questions about whether Shell is able to drill safely offshore in the Arctic, and raises serious questions regarding the nature and adequacy of Shell's compliance with applicable laws and regulations," Markey wrote in the letter to Odum.
Curtis Smith, a Shell spokesman, said in an email to The Associated Press that many of the issues raised by the Coast Guard have already been addressed.
"Of course, we take any deficiency very seriously, including those associated with the main propulsion system that surfaced after the Noble Discoverer had transited out of the Chukchi Sea. At no time was the Noble Discoverer found or believed to be a danger to people or the environment while drilling in the Chukchi Sea in 2012. Had that been the case, we would have ceased all operations immediately," he said.
Both the Noble Discoverer and the Kulluk will be taken to Asia for further inspection and repairs.
It wasn't immediately clear how this will affect the company's drilling plans in the Arctic.
"We have not made any final decision on 2013 drilling in Alaska. The Kulluk and Noble Discoverer's return to Alaska will be dictated by the scope of work identified while in dry dock and the timeline associated with that work," Smith said.
The Noble Discoverer completed preliminary drilling in early October at one well of the Burger-A Prospect 70 miles offshore in the Chukchi Sea. It experienced a vibration problem in its propulsion system after leaving the Chukchi Sea, and an inspection in the Aleutian Islands port of Dutch Harbor was inconclusive. The vibration problem increased, Smith said at the time, as the vessel continued to Seward, a Prince William Sound port about 75 miles southeast of Anchorage.
Coast Guard Capt. Paul Mehler, the officer in charge of marine inspection for western Alaska, assigned inspectors to the Noble Discoverer when it reached Seward in late November. They found several major issues, which led the Coast Guard to issue a "port stay control detention" for the Liberian-flagged vessel.
After summer exploration in the Beaufort Sea, the Kulluk ran aground on New Year's Eve near Kodiak Island as it was being towed to Seattle for maintenance and broke free in a storm. It was refloated and taken to a sheltered harbor. Once weather improves, the Kulluk will be towed to Dutch Harbor, then prepared for a dry tow transport to Asia.

Here is my annual x-mas TR which takes me to SEA from New York. You can read the one from last year here:
Xmas In SEA, SEA-EWR On AS First (Pics, Vid) (by TK787 Dec 28 2006 in Trip Reports)
Since I like to upgrade to First class on these transcons during the busy holiday season, I bought my ticket well in advance. How advance? Well, how about July? It is kind of crazy to buy x-mas tix when it is 100 degrees in NYC but I get a choice of fares and seats. This year I wanted to get rid of all my AA miles, since AA-TK partnership is coming to an end, and since I started UA Mileage miles thinking about the upcoming TK-Star Alliance full membership later this year. Even in July, RT SEA-JFK cost me close to $500 plus 30,000 miles. It is well worth it, and I was the first one to get seat assignments on the plane. I think later, around November I got an email letting me know that there was a slight time change on my flight, very nice.
Also just a bit more background on the trip, I got a very good deal on my hotel. For the first time I used priceline.com and was able to get a nice room at downtown Sheraton for $90 a night during xmas. For those of you that are not familiar with the site; you choose what area you want to stay, what class of hotel you want, and what are you willing to pay and enter your Credit Card info, and click, SendÂÂ. In five seconds my room was reserved and the amount charged to my CC. Next year I might even bid lower, see what happens. OK on with the TR.
I got up early and checked the turbulence forecast and the weather and the news online, cleaned up and went down to get a cab. I left the hotel at 7am and I was at the gate at 7:30 am. Early Sunday morning, there were no traffic on the roads and the cab fare is about $30, nice..
Check in was a breeze at the First Class counter. I made sure all the miles from this trip go towards my Alaska Airlines Mileage Program. Security lines were not that bad, and in no time I was at my gate.
SEA pics:
Dec 30th, 2007 Sunday SEA-JFK
Seat: 2F
Load: 100%, 22F/ 157Y
Duration: 4hrs 37min
Altitude: 33,000
My ride:
8am we started boarding, and as I sat down, my coat was taken promptly and I was offered OJ or water. On the seat waiting for me was a red blanket and a very cheap set of headphones. I always bring mine on board. Also I was given a brunch menu.
8:30am we started our pushback, and it was nice to see some other planes on the tarmac, like the Hawaiian 767, United 777, AS Eskimo's getting the Hawaiian Lei, Aero Mexico.
We took of almost on time 8:45pm due South.
The Cascades were supposed to get 30" new snow so it was cloudy until we were over Eastern WA. The view of Winter wonderland down below was a treat. I turned on my Ipod, and chose, April March-Chrominance Decoder, to accompany the visuals.
This last one looks like Pacman
Shortly after the in-flight movie started; Ratatouille. As you might imagine AA 757s still have the tube TVs in the middle.
9:15 am, at flight level, the beverage service started. I opted for a nice glass of Bloody Mary and kept the holiday season going. It was a generous size and tasted good with a slice of lime in it.
Shortly after, the brunch was served. Instead of Cereal and fruit with yogurt I got the Three Cheese Omelette; enhanced by a Poblano Cream Sauce served with Basil Pesto Potatoes and fire roasted Turkey Sausage, garnished with roasted Tomatoes. It was served with Seasonal Fruit Appetizer and an assortment of warm Breads with honey, butter and jam.
Here is something I have seen on an international flight many years ago and adapted immediately. I cover my dirty tray with a napkin after I am done.
Later, everyone is given a bottle of water, nice again.
3 hours into the flight I woke up to the smell of freshly baked cookies. We were flying over the Midwest. I was offered chocolate chip cookies with a choice of glass of milk or water. I asked for some black coffee, which I got shortly after. I was bummed that I didn't get oatmeal raisin cookies. Our FA told me that sometimes they are only given one type of cookie, oh well..
Shortly after the cookie service we entered a milky cloud, for the duration of the flight and it got bumpier, nothing too bad though.
When we eventually came out of the clouds it was nice to see that we were over Long Island.
We did a big circle going over to NJ and flew over Sandy Hook and landed smoothly at JFK at around 4:30pm almost on schedule.
By 4:45 I was at the Baggage carousel. Just a reminder to everyone, some of these bridges at Terminal 8 are very long. It is quiet a hike to get to the gate once you leave the plane, especially for older folks.
I guess no need to rush to get to Baggage Claim, since there was a mishap and I had to wait an hour to get my luggage. By then, the taxi lines were crazy outside. Good thing there was a gypsy, black car, I got a $65 ride to Manhattan. For all those that are not familiar with this, if someone comes up to you and offers you a cab service to Manhattan, make sure you agree on the fare including tolls and tips before going ahead with it. Recently I met an older Canadian couple who paid close to $150. Ouch!
How would I rate this trip?
Reservations: 10
Check-in: 10
Cosmetic Condition of the Plane: 7
Quality of the seats: 6
Meals: 9
Service: 10
Overall Value: 7
AA has a lot of competition on this route. Nice to see that it was a full load, but it is time to upgrade the interiors. Nice to be on a 757 on this flight as opposed to Jetblue's 320s or AS 737s.
One last thing; on the first leg of this trip while going through the security check at Terminal 8 at JFK, a detail on the giant mural inside got my attention. If I am not mistaken it is St. Sophia (Ayasofya) in Istanbul, but missing 3 of its minarets. This building was used as a church for 916 years, as a mosque for 481 years and since 1935 it is a museum. I am curious why the 553 yrs. old minarets not included in the drawing?
As always, thanks for reading. Looking forward to your comments and questions.
Edited for: Sorry I had to take the videos out, not happy with quality.

An explosion in Iraq left Kevin Workman with a brain injury that left him functional, but not to his full extent.
The medically retired Army sergeant doesn't remember if it was a mortar or an I.E.D., or what town it was near. He just remembers being in a convoy when the truck in front of his blew up.
He is 54, and retired now, with a pension from his job from the South Carolina State Police, and a disability pension from the Army.
But he can't remember how much he gets from the pensions.
"I'd have to ask my wife. I forget a little bit of stuff," he said in slow, halting speech from his hometown of Locke, N.Y., where he returned after he was injured. "She's my caregiver. She takes care of all the important stuff. I thank God for her every day."
He has equally kind words for Mike Pasquale, the McCarter & English lawyer who helped him navigate the morass of Army and Veteran's Affairs regulations on disability compensation.
"I look at Mike like a true patriot," Workman said. "He didn't go to war, but he looks out for those that did."
There is another way to say this. Mike Pasquale doesn't just talk about helping vets; he walks them through the painful process of grasping the reality of their injuries, and the equally painful reality that the country they fought for sometimes allows them to fall through the bureaucratic cracks.
Veterans' unemployment is 9 percent, according to the latest federal statistics, 1.6 percentage points higher than civilians.
There's a very live scandal over veteran deaths at seven VA hospitals due to lack of timely care. This comes after the scandal at Walter Reed, the Army's flagship hospital, over shoddy treatment and conditions. A recent Washington Post analysis VA compensation for loss of one hand is $100 a month. Waist down paralysis gets $2,100 or $25,200 a year. The national poverty level for a familiy of four is $23,550.
"I applaud Mike's work," said Michael P. Kelly, the chairman of McCarter & English, the son of a WW II Marine. "I had a first cousin who came back from Vietnam and was never the same. I know our servicemen suffer long after the war is over."
Pasquale, who work in McCarter's Newark office, said his typical client is a "guy who is simply not the person he was before the war.
"These are guys the Army says can no longer do their jobs, and they're being offered 10, 20 percent of (total potential) disability. It doesn't make sense. If the Army says you can no longer work, you should be 100 percent disabled."
Mike Pasquale got involved in military pro bono work in 2006, when was relatively new at the firm. He was approached by Bill Greenberg, a former partner and a retired brigadier general with a "big personality."
"He said to me, 'How would you like to engage in an enobling experience?'''
Since then, Pasquale said he has personally represented over 200 soldiers, logging hundred of volunteer hours a year to help them gain greater disability compensation.
Workman was one of the first. He had gone through one round of the Army's medical evaluation process and was offered a temporary 30 percent disability with no continuing healthcare benefits after it expired.
"It didn't make sense to me," he said.
At the time he was at Fort Dix, in the "medical hold" company called the Wounded Warrior Transition Unit. He saw the phone number for legal assistance in the day room, and called Pasquale.
"If it wasn't for Mike I would have shafted," said Workman, who eventually got 50 percent disability and benefits for his battle injuries.
James Lawler, 47, has a similar story. He is also a medically retired Army sergeant from the New Jersey National Guard. He was first injured in a mortar attack in Iraq, but had reconstructive surgery on his ankle and returned to duty. He was injured again outside of Tikrit, in the same incident that injured Workman.
The explosion left him with facial and head injuries.
"I remember waking up, but not much more than that," he said.
He also needed a second reconstruction surgery on his ankle, and now faces amputation. The Army offered him 20 percent disability in a one-time payment and no extended benefits.
"It was very complicated," Lawler said. "I couldn't figure out what they were doing to me."
But when Pasquale was done, "they maxed me out (100 percent), with full benefits," Lawler said. "I can't say enough about Mike."

Hi Perriconistas! Lauren Craig from Perpetually Chic here, and I'm so thrilled that Perricone MD asked me to stop by throughout the month of July to share my favorite summer tips with you. Whether you're jetting off to the Caribbean or simply driving to the lake this summer, keep reading for my simple travel rules:
{1} Pack light. After years of over-packing, I've slowly learned to edit down. Always in my bag: A great dress in a colorful print to throw on for day and dress up at night, classic leather thongs that go with anything, a lightweight scarf and a universally flattering black swimsuit (I love a retro style like this top). Don't forget your favorite sunglasses and a straw hat to shield yourself from the intense summer sunshine!
{2} Simplify your beauty routine. I like to focus my efforts on good skincare using just a few essentials in travel sizes—even if my travel will be by car. I love the Perricone MD Cold Plasma Travel Set—with three easy steps (cleanse, treat, moisturize) and a dab of concealer, I'm out the door with fresh and glowing skin.
{3} Capture memories. Whether a camera or a journal is more your style, preserve those cherished moments of summer fun to look back on later. Whenever I'm in need of a mental vacation, I love to flip through my photographs or the notes I wrote about my favorite experiences.
{4} Get out and explore. Don't forget to slow down, pause and savor the beauty around you, because wherever it is you're traveling, there's something magical worth noticing!
Lauren Craig is the founder of the lifestyle blog Perpetually Chic, where she shares her keen eye for details through globally and seasonally inspired food, fashion, travel, decor and more. Follow her blog and see more of her inspiration on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Best part of being primal is feeling sexy again! Good for you!
This is my #1 goal, sure weight/body comp are a huge part of that, but even more is my attitude.
And I feel like that is getting there!!
Back in my 20s, I was a "cute" girl..not a super hot model chick, but that cute girl next door type, so I got some attention. I was petite, 120ish pounds.
Fast foward, married and loving it, 2 kids, but you know, we get complacent, 2 pregnancies in 2.5 years added another 25 pounds, too tired to wear makeup, clothes are old and ugly. etc. and my overall mood was just down on myself.
Now, I am down 9 pounds, down 1-2 sizes in about 8 weeks. But now I feel there is just a spring in my step, my sexy is back, getting stronger every day. Bought a couple new cute outfits, putting on my makeup at work, fixing my hair, and fielding lots of "you are losing weight!" comments.
Maybe it's shallow, but man, it sure feels good.
Best part of being primal is feeling sexy again! Good for you!
Yeah it does! Someone told me I looked like a teenager recently. Made this 39 year old mom of two giddy.
Last edited by FireWoman; 03-03-2011 at 09:06 AM. Reason: Forgot that I'm 39 not 38
MY sister recently sent pictures of my husband and I on a visit...she got several comments on how I'm looking younger. Yay!
me too!
Yay! Great news L. =)
That's awesome! Amazing how losing some weight and putting on a new outfit raises confidence and amazing how confidence makes you feel and look sexy!

HAMMOND - On a day that was more reminiscent of early October, the Southeastern Louisiana University football team opened fall drills Monday evening with a solid workout on the Southeastern Practice Fields.
The Lions, who open the 2008 schedule Aug. 30 at Alcorn State, took advantage of the breezy conditions and temperatures in the upper-80's. The first workout of the season was used on teaching the fundamentals to the newcomers with the returning players getting re-acquainted with the offensive and defensive schemes.
"Today was a very good day for us, you couldn't have asked for a better day to practice during the first week of camp" head coach Mike Lucas said. "There was a lot of energy out there from everyone. We have some work to do in getting better as a football team, but today was a good first step."
The opening workout also saw the return of veterans Walter Vaughn, David Ward and Keithshone Dantzler - each recovering from injury. Each of Southeastern's four quarterbacks saw plenty of work while Jay Lucas led a stable of running backs that includes returning letterwinner Johnny Owen, junior college transfer Jasper Ducksworth and former Springfield High product Zeke Jones.
Southeastern returns to action Tuesday with its second workout of the season beginning at 8 a.m. All practices are open to the public.

FLINT, Michigan - All activities for the 32nd annual Crim Festival of Races will be centrally located in downtown Flint with the race expo moving back to the Riverfront Character Inn.
Because of uncertainty over the still-unresolved sale of the Character Inn last year, the Crim moved its expo, late registration and packet pickup to the Genesee Business Center, which is about three miles south of the starting line on Saginaw Street.
Race director Deb Kiertzner said the Crim was contacted by operators of the Character Inn about returning pre-race activities for the Aug. 23 event to the hotel. Rooms will also be available for participants, she said.
"The Genesee Business Center was a beautiful venue for the expo, but it just was too far away," Kiertzner said. "We offered MTA transportation back and forth and people chose not to take it. We were open race morning and vendors did no business whatsoever.
"The biggest complaint we heard was it was too far away and vendors had no traffic on race morning. There's many races where the expo venue is not adjacent to the start line. At the Crim, it's always been that way and that's the expectation."
The expo typically opens Thursday afternoon, two days before the race. It is open most of the day Friday and until noon on Saturday. Runners and walkers can register or pick up their race packets at the expo. There are also vendors selling fitness-related goods, such as running clothes and shoes.
"The excitement and buzz just wasn't there, with the expo down the road," Kiertzner said.
"It's surprising how much business the vendors say they do on race day when runners are finishing races or their families are waiting for them to finish. For packet pickup and registaration, it's just ideal. Last year, we moved it down to the (University) Pavilion (race morning)."
The Crim is retaining its name, but is adding a corporate twist this year. The event will be called the Crim Festival of Races, Presented by HealthPlus of Michigan. HealthPlus is a long-time sponsor of the Crim's eight-kilometer run and is a presenting sponsor of the Brooksie Way Half Marathon in Rochester, which is being staged with help from the Crim.
"In the racing business, it's very common practice to go with presenting sponsors and change the name of the race," Kiertzner said. "We have a long-time supporter stepping up to take sponsorship. We're not changing the name of the Crim. This is significant, because having sponsorship support is crucial for any event like ours to continue."
The Crim also announced in a press conference today that its youth program has won Running USA's YouthRunner Porgram of the Year award. Crim mileage clubs are in 24 school districts and involve about 10,000 youngsters, Kiertzner said.
"This recognizes the work our youth programs have been doing under Marti Austin's direction over a dozen years in local schools," Kiertzner said. "It's a pretty significant award when it involves thousands of kids."

MOBILE, Alabama -- The 2014 Reese's Senior Bowl is going to be a homecoming for at least three Mobile area players who have had stellar college careers.
Alabama unanimous All-American C.J. Mosley, a native of Theodore, is among three Crimson Tide teammates who officially accepted their invitations Friday. Mosley is joined by receiver Kevin Norwood of D'Iberville, Miss., and punter Cody Mandell.
"We're so thrilled and excited to have C.J. coming back to his home town of Mobile," said Reese's Senior Bowl Executive Director Phil Savage. "He'll add his name to the legacy of Alabama linebackers who have played in the game, from Leroy Jordan to Cornelius Bennett to Derrick Thomas and Demeco Ryans."
Mosley won the Butkus Award this season as the nation's top linebacker. He was recently named the Outstanding Defensive Performer, the Defensive Player of the Year, the Most Inspiring Player and the Most Valuable Player by his teammates.
Mosley and Norwood were both team captains for the Tide this year. The third team captain, quarterback AJ McCarron, has yet to accept his Senior Bowl invitation. McCarron, a star at St. Paul's, would join a very strong group of Mobile area players in the game. In addition to Mosley, Jimmy Ward (Davidson High School/Northern Illinois) and Jay Prosch (UMS Wright/Auburn) have already accepted invitations to the game.
Norwood, a fifth-year senior, has been a solid contributor for the Tide, but has saved his best season for last, grabbing a team-high 36 receptions (tied with Amari Cooper) and seven touchdowns. His 538 receiving yards are second on the team.
In 2013, Mandell averaged 47.5 yards per punt, nearly half of them going for 50+ yards and 14 were dropped inside the 20-yard line.
A total of 94 players overall (out of 110) have committed to the play in the Reese's Senior Bowl, set for January 25, 2014, at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

"The Daily Show" reporters John Oliver and Jason Jones tried their hardest last night to make the rally-goers on their sanity bus argue and shout.
"Agree to disagree is not a television show," Jones told the crew.
But to no avail. The folks on the bus, which represent a mix of political views and beliefs, instead had civil discussions about different policies, such as health care reform.
When one woman says, "American is for the most part a reasonable country," Oliver and Jones take them on a tour of unreasonable, but awesome, things in America.
"Everything that is great about America is built upon a total lack of reason," Oliver said, as they featured America's largest paint can and reminded the audience that "this is the country that uses fried chicken as bread."
Here's the clip from last night's show for more:

Associated Press
BERLIN (AP) -- Secretary of State John Kerry has made clear that the United States takes German anger over the NSA spying revelations seriously, and insists the two countries can put the episode behind them.
Kerry on Friday described the discord between Berlin and Washington as "bumps in the road" that could be resolved peacefully.
But speaking to the press before meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel and after talks with Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Kerry gave no indication that the U.S. would sign a "no spy" accord that Germany wants, much less apologize for its past actions.
Among the reports to come out of documents leaked by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden last year were allegations that the National Security Agency for years targeted the cellphones of allied leaders, including Merkel.

In a message dated 97-06-12 15:21:15 EDT, email@example.com (Lee Buller) writes: > Why would there ever be a need to light a ham radio tower? Actually the rules are pretty specific on lighting and painting and it has to do with distance from an airport. It doesn't have anything to do with who the owner is and this is for obvious safety reasons. After a couple of plane-tower collisions several years ago, the FCC was instructed to put an emphasis on tower safety. Fines were escalated and available manpower was put on lighting and painting enforcement (now you know where those FCC field engineers dissappeared to). >Lights on a > tower are very expensive.

The situation with Joe, WL7E, I think is a matter of obstruction lights (OB) and not flashing beacon lights. It's when you get over 200 feet that you need a beacon light and painting. OB lighting hardware and wiring is pretty straightforward. All the beacon and OB lights I've ever serviced have been 120 VAC.

The short vigil -- from 2:15-2:30 p.m. -- in front of the James M. Hanley Federal Building on Clinton Street commemorates the seventh anniversary of Dhafir's arrest Feb. 26, 2003.
In 2005, a federal jury convicted the former Manlius oncologist of 59 felonies, including mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, tax evasion and money laundering for mishandling nearly $2 million from his charity, Help the Needy. The charity was created to feed and clothe Iraqi children.
"It's important not to forget someone who gave so much for charity and has ended up jailed for 22 years just because of the religious beliefs he follows," said Magda Bayoumi, in a news release. "We all know if he was a Christian or a Jew he would not be serving such a sentence."

PALMER – Town Manager Charles T. Blanchard has begun a salary study for department heads, and hopes to have information ready to present to the Town Council at its Feb. 13 meeting.
He said the issue of what department heads were being paid came to a head last summer when he began looking for a new town clerk, town accountant and public works director.
Former town accountant Valerie J. Bernier left to become city auditor in Easthampton, which paid $57,000, approximately $10,000 more.
"We weren't really paying competitive salaries," Blanchard said, adding that some of the department heads approached the Town Council about the issue. The council directed Blanchard to research salaries.
"When you look at the number of years most of these people have served, they are at the low end or maybe below the range," Blanchard said. "We have to be realistic as to what people really should be making."
Blanchard said he is studying 12 positions, and looking into what communities similar in size or budget to Palmer (such as Wilbraham, Uxbridge, Sturbridge, Ware and Charlton) are paying their employees. He also is studying the positions to see if they share similar responsibilities.
"As we put the budget together we'll see how much of this correction we can make in one year, or if we really have the money to do it at all," Blanchard said.
Blanchard said he will study each job description as well.
He said he wants to be able to provide competitive wages to encourage a positive work atmosphere and good morale.
"That's what we're aiming for," Blanchard said.
"It's going to be a difficult (budget) year, but I think we're going to be able to make some improvements," Blanchard added.
Town Council President Paul E. Burns said he agrees that a salary study should be done.
"These people work hard. They're doing a good job and we have to make sure we pay people what other communities are going to pay them," Burns said.
Burns said department heads often work nights and weekends with no extra compensation. He added that salaries should be reviewed for all employees, not just department heads.
Blanchard said he also has asked department heads for two budgets – one that will keep their department functioning as it is now, and another that shows a budget restored to previous levels, before layoffs or hours had been cut.
